[00:00] <Slart> ElNombre: that some programs says something doesn't mean it's actually true =)
[00:00] <hsa2> hello
[00:00] <ElNombre> slart: fair point
[00:00] <Tiders> How come when I burn an AVI file to DVD format using DVD Styler the sound and audio dont line up sometimes when i play it in a DVD player
[00:00] <hsa2> how can i install docky on my ubuntu box?
[00:00] <Tiders> hsa2, sudo aptitude install gnome-do
[00:00] <dath> how can i create a persistent mount -o ro,bind mountpoint?
[00:00] <Slart> ElNombre: I think hdparm is starting to show its age.. I read something about sdparm some while ago.. I think it was supposed to replace hdparm
[00:01] <ElNombre> slart: cheers, I'll take a look into that
[00:01] <hsa2> Tiders, not gnome-do, docky
[00:01] <Tiders> hsa2, Gnome-do is docky
[00:01] <Slart> ElNombre: and I'm not sure if SATA uses something other than DMA or if it's smarter than PATA so there's no need to enable it by hand
[00:01] <Pici> hsa2: docky is a 'theme' for gnome-do
[00:01] <hsa2> Tiders, https://launchpad.net/docky
[00:02] <hsa2> i installed gnome-do and docky on my arch linux ?
[00:02] <Tiders> hsa2, You configure gnome-do to be a dock using a theme
[00:02] <VCoolio> Tiders: yeah I think it was slitted recently
[00:02] <VCoolio> splitted
[00:02] <hsa2> yes it is
[00:02] <Tiders> VCoolio, Not on 9.04
[00:02] <Tiders> hsa2, Which release?
[00:02] <DarkHelmut> ok, spent the last hour trying ffmpeg with no luck... anyone else have any suggestions for converting iTunes m4p files to mp3?
[00:02] <hsa2> i installed docky from bzr
[00:02] <hsa2> i mean, on my arch linux
[00:03] <Tiders> hsa2, Which release of Ubuntu
[00:03] <hsa2> the last one, i have just downloaded
[00:03] <textex> is it hard upgrading the kernel in ubuntu?
[00:03] <hsa2> i don't know my version
[00:03] <Tiders> textex, Best not to
[00:03] <atx> so Docky better than Avant Windows Navigator?
[00:04] <textex> Tiders, why? Cause im trying to get a dvi card working with it, but its some problems with framebuffer that i think is fixed in another kernel
[00:04] <atx> looks better
[00:04] <Tiders> atx, Its all opinion.. I like awn as well
[00:04] <atx> yeah, I guess you need to install it and see for yourself
[00:04] <Slart> textex: any special reason you need to upgrade it?
[00:04] <atx> was wondering about the options though
[00:05] <unop> DarkHelmut, did you install ffmpeg from the main repository or the medibuntu one?
[00:05] <textex> Slart im trying to get a dvi card working with it, but its some problems with framebuffer that i think is fixed in another kernel
[00:05] <Pickbothmanlol> Hello
[00:05] <DarkHelmut> unop both actually
[00:05] <Pickbothmanlol> I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space.
[00:05] <Slart> textex: you can always give lucid lynx a try.. I think it has a newer kernel.. it might be broken for other reasons though
[00:05] <Pickbothmanlol> I had Ubuntu installed using Wubi
[00:05] <DarkHelmut> unop, did a manual install from svn source, no luck
[00:06] <Tiders> Slart, I wouldnt start recomending out an alpha release yet to someoen whos having difficulties
[00:06] <unop> DarkHelmut, so what exactly happens when you attempt to transcode?
[00:06] <textex> Slart; fedora kernel devs are saying that they fixed the issue in 2.6.32. Since you have ubuntu, good luck upgrading.
[00:06] <textex> i got told that yesterday
[00:06] <DarkHelmut> unop, I get a list of erros, shal I paste them to you?
[00:06] <Tiders> textex, Yes "good luck upgrading"
[00:06] <Slart> Tiders: true.. I just meant try it as in "try the live cd".. but I guess I wasn't really clear about how alpha lucid is
[00:06] <unop> DarkHelmut, put them up on a pastebin
[00:06] <Tiders> Slart,  Yes :D
[00:07] <Pickbothmanlol> I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space. I installed Ubuntu using Wubi
[00:07] <textex> Tiders, so im pretty much screwed? Guess its better trying to install fedora instead?
[00:07] <Slart> textex: you read that? don't go upgrading your nuclear reactor controller box to lucid.. it's very alpha.. I only meant for you to try a live cd to see if it works there
[00:07] <DarkHelmut> unop, sorry... I'll do that next time
[00:07] <dath_> back again
[00:07] <dath_> empathy blows
[00:07] <dannek7> how do I change the partition size of my linux install?
[00:07] <DarkHelmut> unop, http://pastebin.com/d1bb1bf4f
[00:08] <Slart> !info linux-image-generic
[00:08] <textex> Slart cause i was told trying to upgrade to a fedora kernel
[00:08] <Tiders> textex, You may want to check the forums onlien and see if anyone had some luck with upgrading it
[00:08] <Solorvox> DarkHelmut, I thought you said mp4, m4p is a infected (DRM) itnues file.  You can't
[00:08] <amelius> scott_ino2: what software? VPN link breaks while idle, or seemingly randomly? is there a router involved? if yes, do you connect to it wirelessly?
[00:08] <dath_> how can i create a persistent mountpoint with mount -o ro,bind after boot?
[00:08] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, yeah...  :( m4p
[00:08] <scott_ino2> amelius, umm more randomly... after a few minutes or so, router IS involved and yes wirelessly
[00:09] <Solorvox> DarkHelmut, one suggestion I known is to convert them (with itunes) to m4a
[00:09] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, is there a Noteburner or similar software for linux?
[00:09] <scott_ino2> amelius, can't believe you saw that from that long ago haha
[00:09] <Tiders> dath, With fstab
[00:09] <Joerg__> hello
[00:09] <textex> Or any of you got some experience with the intelfd?
[00:09] <aqwq> very big problem the firefox bus error
[00:09] <Solorvox> DarkHelmut, you can look on google, there are some suggestions for converting them.
[00:09] <textex> Cause i got a Intel card that wont work with ubuntu
[00:09] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, I may have to plunk down some cash it seems. very upset I have to pay (again) to access my own dam music.  Lesson learned!
[00:10] <Tiders> dath_ sudo nano /etc/fstab you will find all the drives that mount at boot you can set more there
[00:10] <dath_> Tiders, what file system do i need in fstab
[00:10] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, I've tried everything I can google over the last week, no luck
[00:10] <dath_> for mount --bind
[00:10] <Solorvox> DarkHelmut, http://www.defectivebydesign.org/ =)
[00:11] <perlsyntax> i got a mc760 usb modem i was thinking is there away i can speed up the downloads and uploads on it?
[00:11] <Pickbothmanlol> I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space. I installed Ubuntu using Wubi
[00:11] <Pickbothmanlol> I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space. I installed Ubuntu using Wubi
[00:11] <Pickbothmanlol> I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space. I installed Ubuntu using Wubi
[00:11] <FloodBot2> Pickbothmanlol: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:11] <amelius> scott_ino2: you should first try to rule out the wireless link as a cause, then the router itself, if at all possible
[00:11] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, I'm a card carrying member now.  ;)
[00:11] <Slart> Pickbothmanlol: nice to see that you're handling yourself with maturity and dignity..
[00:11] <perlsyntax> Is there away i can speed up my download on my mc760 usb modem?
[00:12] <Pickbothmanlol> Considering there is 1300 users in this channel.
[00:12] <Solorvox> DarkHelmut, hehe, from what I've read, there isn't much you can do.  DRM sucks in every way, for the consumers anyway.
[00:12] <Pickbothmanlol> XD
[00:12] <VCoolio> dath_: seems this should work: /old/folder  /new/folder  none  bind 0 0
[00:12] <Slart> Pickbothmanlol: so what is the question?
[00:12] <perlsyntax> i hope someone knows.
[00:12] <newser> hello, I have a gps receiver but dont know how to get the data out of it. Anyone knows how can I see in terminal if its working or not?
[00:12] <Pickbothmanlol> I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space.
[00:12] <scott_ino2> amelius, k I can do that, however are you saying there are "known" issues with vpn and wireless?? only the vpn connection drops, not my wireless.
[00:12] <Pickbothmanlol> Any solution?
[00:12] <newser> !find gps
[00:13] <textex> running ubuntu i just get: intelfb_restore *error" failed to restore crtc configuration.
[00:13] <Slart> Pickbothmanlol: make some free space?
[00:13] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, yup. My other option is to use Audacity and record the stream as I play the files from iTunes via Wine, however Audacity isn't picking up my output
[00:13] <Solorvox> newser, try typing dmesg after you plug it in, also lsusb will show if it's seen by the kernel. (assuming it usb)
[00:13] <perlsyntax> i got a virgin modile usb mc760 and i want to know if i can speed it up?
[00:13] <perlsyntax> :)
[00:13] <scottj> Isn't there a program for defining raise-or-launch keystrokes for apps?
[00:13] <Solorvox> DarkHelmut, the oldest trick is to burn them to CD, then rip the CDs.  There are some windows apps that setup a virtual drive, and then allow you to read it.
[00:13] <perlsyntax> anyone?
[00:13] <dath_> VCoolio, /media/stuff/media/games /home/cgboard/games none bind,ro 0 0 <-- like this?
[00:14] <perlsyntax> ?
[00:14] <perlsyntax> or is there a link i can read?
[00:14] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, yes, none are free, which is ok, but they all seem rather overpriced at $40+
[00:14] <VCoolio> dath_: the examples I found don't mention the ,ro part; try it, else set that on the source disk
[00:14] <tixtix> running ubuntu i just get: "intelfb_restore *error" failed to restore crtc configuration." anyone?
[00:14] <dath_> VCoolio, i need rw on the source disk
[00:14] <perlsyntax> Does anyone know how to speed up the internet on a mc760???
[00:14] <dath_> coz there are other dirs
[00:15] <amelius> scott_ino2: VPNs (again, what exactly?) and routers can be a tricky combination because the VPN software essentially needs to work around the address translation
[00:15] <dath_> i only want the mounted folder to be ro
[00:15] <perlsyntax> ??
[00:15] <Solorvox> DarkHelmut, you could always send apple an invoice for it. :)
[00:15] <VCoolio> dath_: I don't use bind, but doesn't it just copy the permissions of the source folder it refers to? don't know, sorry
[00:15] <tixtix> running ubuntu i just get: "intelfb_restore *error" failed to restore crtc configuration." anyone?
[00:15] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, don't think I have many choices though, I may spend some time just looking for what I want and downloading it again (via less than acceptable means).
[00:15] <scott_ino2> amelius, what info do you need?
[00:15] <newser> Solorvox, yes, its usb but do  you know which app can output tha data?
[00:15] <perlsyntax> hello i got a question
[00:15] <Solorvox> dath, chmod 555 on the ro mount point
[00:16] <dath_> VCoolio, you can combine both options bind and ro when using the mount command
[00:16] <dath_> i tested it
[00:16] <perlsyntax> How can i speed up a mc760 modem on linux?
[00:16] <dath_> VCoolio,  i just wonder if that works in fstab
[00:16] <Solorvox> newser, search for gps in the software center
[00:16] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, Well, many thanks for your help!
[00:16] <DarkHelmut> unop and to you ass well, thanks
[00:16] <Solorvox> DarkHelmut, good luck
[00:16] <Bragex9> how do I run system-adm-users and groups as root?
[00:17] <Slart> perlsyntax: come on.. there's no need to repeat your question every minute.. repeat once every 15 minutes or so.. not more often than that.. use the time to search the forums or use google
[00:17] <Solorvox> dath_, do that before you mount too, btw.
[00:17] <perlsyntax> i have!
[00:17] <DarkHelmut> newser, Gebabbel is in the repo
[00:17] <dath_> VCoolio, testing the hard way with a reboot now ;)
[00:17] <Slart> perlsyntax: waited 15 minutes before repeating? no you haven't =)
[00:17] <DarkHelmut> !Gebabbel
[00:17] <oorah> is google chrome browser updated with regular updates?
[00:17] <perlsyntax> could you help me slart?
[00:17] <Slart> oorah: if you get it from their nightly repos you get a new one every day..
[00:18] <Slart> perlsyntax: I have no idea what a mc760 modem is.. so no.. if I knew anything about it I would have told you
[00:18] <perlsyntax> slart, i got the modem to work:) but try to load the speeds faster.
[00:18] <perlsyntax> lol it a usb modem
[00:18] <Slart> perlsyntax: I think that goes for most of the active people in here too
[00:18] <tixtix> running ubuntu i just get: "intelfb_restore *error" failed to restore crtc configuration." anyone?
[00:18] <amelius> scott_ino2: tell us what software the VPN runs on, and whether anything improves if you remove first the wireless link, then the entire router from the equation
[00:18] <newser> DarkHelmut, thanks
[00:18] <perlsyntax> this not a ubuntu support room lmao
[00:18] <Solorvox> Could someone please look at this bug, and maybe put it in the right category/assign it? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/498008
[00:19] <VCoolio> dath_: ok, but searching google doesn't give a solution / workaround for fstab for me; good luck
[00:19] <scott_ino2> amelius, i have no idea what software they're using, this is an anonymity service
[00:20] <oorah> Slart, is that the default install?
[00:20] <amelius> scott_ino2: what software are _you_ using?
[00:20] <Slart> Solorvox: looks like a good bug report.. I have no idea if it's in the right category or not though
[00:20] <scott_ino2> amelius, VPN through networkmanager
[00:21] <Slart> oorah: hmm.. I'm not really sure.. I get it from a PPA somewhere..
[00:21] <Solorvox> Slart, it's not in a category, nor assigned. (been about a week)  Wondering if that's why no one as looked at it. :-/
[00:21] <Slart> Solorvox: might be a holiday thing
[00:22] <SaBot> I am considering putting ubuntu on my netbook, can the interface that the netbook-remix comes with be turned off for the regular taskbar?
[00:23] <Slart> SaBot: I think you could do that with the earlier UNR.. I think I remember someone else asking about it before.. I think they removed the function to switch between the normal ui and the special netbook ui
[00:23] <dath_> VCoolio, it works like a charm :D i mounted an ntfs partition in fstab with ntfs-3g and from that partition i mounted a folder with read only to a ftp user home dir. it even works while the user is connected via ftp :] great!
[00:23] <Solorvox> SaBot, yes it can, it's under preferences
[00:24] <Slart> SaBot: but this is all 2nd hand information.. I've never tried unr myself
[00:24] <aprigio> Hi, has anyone installed ubuntu on macbook (apple hardware), because of efficiency have to  disable acpi in grub but there is another solution?
[00:24] <AllHailTheGeek> Quick question: how do I (using emerald) get rid of the shadows around windows?
[00:24] <VCoolio> dath_: cool, something added the last year I think; some threads I read from 2008 mentioned it wasn't possible (yet); congrats
[00:24] <amelius> scott_ino2: if it's a public anonimity service (which one?), perhaps they're simply getting more connections than they can handle; again, the first things to try to rule out as a cause are the wireless link and the router itself
[00:25] <shazbotmcnasty> I'm back, it was the RAM
[00:25] <Solorvox> AllHailTheGeek, don't use emerald, change the settings in compiz, install the cssm and adjust in system/preferences
[00:25] <scott_ino2> amelius, ok let me go test and hook up to a wired connection....
[00:25] <shazbotmcnasty> When I got this computer, one of the RAM clips was gone, and that one wasn't pushed all the way down and came loose
[00:25] <AllHailTheGeek> Solorvox, do reflections work in !emerald?
[00:25] <shazbotmcnasty> Thanks
[00:26] <Solorvox> AllHailTheGeek, no idea, but shadows can be set in the manager
[00:26] <aprigio> has anyone installed ubuntu on macbook? (hardware apple)
[00:26] <Slart> shazbotmcnasty: yay.. so no it works again? all is good?
[00:26] <AllHailTheGeek> Solorvox, actually, reflections don't show in the current window, only in inactive ones.
[00:26] <ScarFreewill> za.archive.ubuntu.com is resolving to 91.189.88.30 here
[00:26] <Solorvox> AllHailTheGeek, I don't use emerald, it's a bit buggy for me.
[00:27] <AllHailTheGeek> Solorvox, seems ok for me, just the shadow thing
[00:27] <Solorvox> AllHailTheGeek, well you can either use cssm to change it, or edit the emerald theme
[00:27] <alvareClrnD> hi, does anyone know how to tell the filesystem to avoid/skip readwriting on an specific sector/block?
[00:27] <AllHailTheGeek> k
[00:29] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, what filesystem?
[00:29] <alvareClrnD> ext4
[00:29] <dre360> hi all
[00:30] <blackest_knight1> alvareClrnD:  take the drive out the machine and throw it away (honestly its a waste of time using failing drives)
[00:30] <Nickname_> hello
[00:30] <alvareClrnD> just say you dont know
[00:30] <alvareClrnD> its new
[00:30] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, I assume the sector is bad, have you run fsck on it?
[00:30] <alvareClrnD> the sector is phisically broken
[00:31] <Slart> alvareClrnD: badblocks?
[00:31] <alvareClrnD> its a new seagete, the ones that come with the "clacking"
[00:31] <dre360> has anyone run powerdevil
[00:31] <blackest_knight1> alvareClrnD:  then return the drive to where you bought it
[00:31] <alvareClrnD> they only change it for the same drive, but new
[00:32] <alvareClrnD> and they all are a complete piece of shit
[00:32] <blackest_knight1> alvareClrnD:  you could partition round the problem area
[00:32] <Slart> alvareClrnD: or wait.. badblocks just searches for bad blocks..
[00:32] <IdleOne> !language | alvareClrnD
[00:32] <alvareClrnD> mmhmm, I liked that one
[00:32] <amelius> is clacking a feature these days?
[00:32] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, as a short term, temporary workaround, you could just use dd to fill the sector with zero bit data (pad)
[00:32] <dre360> Powerdevil has anyone used it or know how to start it
[00:32] <alvareClrnD> in seagate hardrives it is
[00:32] <dath_> what happens when you mount --bind a directory 2 times to different targets? and if that works, how can you unmount only a specific folder?
[00:33] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: just trying to access the sector makes the disk freeze
[00:33] <alvareClrnD> for some seconds
[00:33] <blackest_knight1> alvareClrnD: can't you get a different brand ?
[00:34] <alvareClrnD> blackest_knight1:  I would have to buy it, I dont have the money, I guessed maybe ext4 could just skip that sector
[00:34] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD,dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdz bs=BLOCK_SIZE count=1 seek=BLOCK_NUM
[00:34] <Maletor> Help, I can't start Ubuntu minimal from my USB
[00:34] <Maletor> I just finished building my computer.
[00:34] <scott_ino2> amelius, yeah still dropped.
[00:34] <OxDeadC0de> can anyone tell me how to properly apply this patch and test it? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/348540
[00:34] <alvareClrnD> I did that, maybe the disk was S.M.A.R.T enough to detect a bad sector and internally skip it
[00:35] <OxDeadC0de> well, how to apply it I can test it just fine...
[00:35] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, you might also read 'man badblocks'
[00:35] <matts45acp> anybody here tell me why i have nothing at listed in my device hardware in ubuntu 9.10? but everything but the wirless is working
[00:35] <Maletor> Any ideas?
[00:35] <izua> hmm, my mouse froze
[00:35] <izua> any tips on how to make it work without /etc/init.d/kdm restart ?
[00:35] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox:  no use, already tried that too, the sector is broken physicaly
[00:36] <blackest_knight1> well alvareClrnD take a guess where the error is and make two partitions use the one without the error
[00:36] <kyle6513> hi, i'm attempting to setup an ubuntu server to download torrents, can anyone help me?
[00:36] <amelius> scott_ino2: with a good old wired connection to the router?
[00:36] <alvareClrnD> no need to guess, fdisk is friendly enough, but that would be a mess
[00:36] <Ibw> How does one change the resolution of a virtual console?
[00:36] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, are you trying to save data, or work around a defective drive?
[00:36] <scott_ino2> amelius, yes
[00:36] <DarkHelmut> kyle6513, why does it have to be a server?
[00:36] <scott_ino2> amelius, sadly, it was definitely working much more smoothly till it disconnected
[00:36] <alvareClrnD> also I love having one giant partiion to make things easier, I dont screw arround with multiple partitions for /home, /boot and stuff
[00:36] <scott_ino2> or well... faster at least
[00:37] <scott_ino2> amelius, again, the connection itself wasn't dropped, just the connection to the VPN
[00:37] <Maletor> Why isn't my computer booting to the USB?
[00:37] <amelius> scott_ino2: what service exactly? is it feasible to temporarily bypass the router entirely?
[00:37] <Maletor> My BIOS is set up perfectly
[00:37] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: I'm trying to live, but a random day in the week a random program reads a random file thats on a broken sector, and the PC freezes until I kill that job
[00:37] <scott_ino2> amelius, yeah i can bypass, im using itshidden
[00:37] <kyle6513> darkhelmut, it doesnt really, although i wont be around to monitor the computer for a whole month, i would like to be able to monitor it from the internet and if i get tricky enough, have it send my hotmail account an email, which will send an sms to my mobile warning me of certain things.
[00:38] <Ibw> Does anyone know?
[00:38] <matts45acp> anybody here tell me why i have nothing at listed in my device hardware in ubuntu 9.10? but everything but the wirless is working
[00:38] <amelius> scott_ino2: I see your point, but if the wireless happens to be dicey and the VPN happens to use UDP ...
[00:38] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, I know you don't like the advice given, but trust us, replacing the drive is your best option.  Everything else is just a workaround
[00:38] <DarkHelmut> kyle6513, so you want it to automatically download torrents while you are away and just store them?  where would you like it to download from?
[00:38] <rbehr> I have a dual boot machine and when I try to login to ubuntu first option 2.6.31-16-generic I get an error message kernel panic-not syncing:vfs unable to mount root fs on unkown-block (8,2). I can login to 2.16.31-14-generic without any issues. Any ideas as why this is happening?
[00:39] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: then I'll workaround, I live in argentina, $150 is a lot of money here
[00:39] <adac> I suddenly  have "inverted" colours on playing videos on vlc, mplayer, dragonplayer, xine. the only player that works fine is totem. what can I do
[00:39] <kyle6513> darkhelmut, if i gave it a torrent while i was away, and for it to download off that torrent, that would be great
[00:39] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: thanks for your time, now I'll proceed to read the filesystem kernel code
[00:39] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, just so you know, it's only going to get worse.
[00:40] <kyle6513> darkhelmut, i would just like it to tell me tempratures and such if i logged into it's ip address with a password as its summer in australia atm and i dont want to risk any fires or whatnot
[00:40] <blackest_knight1> alvareClrnD:  you have a bad hdd and you insist on using it ,  the best you can hope for is to isolate the error in its own partition
[00:40] <DarkHelmut> ahh, you want to login to your machine while you are away and give it a command to grab a torrent?
[00:40] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, usually the coating on the drive gets damaged, and then it gets spread by the heads.
[00:40] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: it's not like a old hardisk that fail naturally
[00:40] <con-man> pkill firefox
[00:40] <scott_ino2> amelius, you want me to try bypassing the router? I'm pretty interested as to the why, if you could share some insight as to issues with vpn..
[00:40] <con-man> mt
[00:40] <DarkHelmut> kyle6513, is SSH not good enough for your needs?
[00:40] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  thats easy enough
[00:41] <DarkHelmut> kyle6513, or X over ssh?
[00:41] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, again, the best thing I can give you is to mark them as badblocks, or pad the sector with zeros.  Even if it takes forever
[00:41] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: this drives come failing, and seagate denies it and erases threads that discuss this, so it's their fault, but it's still usable, I just have like 5-7 broken sectors
[00:41] <DarkHelmut> kyle6513, Secure VNC would also do the trick I suppose
[00:41] <kyle6513> darkhelmut, not exactly, i would give it a few torrents to work on while i was away, i just want to know how well its doing, and if its overheating it should tell me via sms, which i can set up if i tell it to send me a email when the temps are a tad high
[00:41] <Brenden``> if i took gparted and
[00:41] <Brenden``> er
[00:41] <Brenden``> If i took gparted and formated my linux partition to NTFS and merged it with my windows partition would it mess my Windows partition up or anything?
[00:41] <kyle6513> darkhelmut, i dont mind what i use, so long as it works :P
[00:41] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: how would I mark them as badblocks without using "badblock" ?
[00:42] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, I believe you, sometimes you just have to keep fighting with these companies to get it fixed.
[00:42] <dath_> what happens when you mount --bind a directory 2 times to different targets? and if that works, how can you unmount only a specific folder?
[00:42] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, man badblocks, it talks about not using write (-w) but I think you may want to in this case
[00:42] <adac> Anyone? ;y videos do look like this: http://bildites.lv/images/3vyp3p60agrj0l4efg3n.png
[00:42] <adac> *my
[00:43] <JoeSomebody> if xp pro and ubuntu 9.01 are to be installed on the same system, which is better to install first? xp?
[00:43] <newser> !gpsd
[00:43] <Solorvox> dath_ umount /dest/dir
[00:43] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: yeah I said without using badblocks cause its slow as hell and its a 1TB hardisk
[00:43] <SaBot> JoeSomebody: XP, windows rewrites the master boot record
[00:43] <newser> !find gpsd
[00:43] <kyle6513> darkhelmut, so basically, i need to be able to monitor what it is doing while it downloads AND it should be able to send emails, using whatever client is needed, although this needs to be accessable through scripts
[00:43] <Solorvox> adac, change your hue setting
[00:43] <S0LIDUS> JoeSomebody, You will find XP will get grumpy if it the second choice.
[00:43] <DarkHelmut> kyle6513, do a google (sorry to throw you at google) for torrent scripts
[00:44] <blackest_knight1> Brenden``:  be easier to delete the partition and grow the ntfs  to fill the space
[00:44] <jeremey> Hey, is there anybody who can help me with a wireless networking driver problem?
[00:44] <JoeSomebody> ok thanks guys, merry xmas too
[00:44] <kyle6513> darkhelmut, thats alright
[00:44] <newser> anyone knows how can i display the data being received by a gps receiver in terminal? Can I use gpsd?
[00:44] <amelius> scott_ino2: affirmative; again, VPNs and various forms of connection sharing simply don't always play nice together
[00:44] <blackest_knight1> JoeSomebody: XP or it will wipe your boot sector
[00:44] <scott_ino2> amelius, k will be back soon
[00:45] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: thanks, bye
[00:45] <jinchengwu> hello everone
[00:45] <adac> Solorvox, yeah well I didn't modifiy them in first place....
[00:45] <blackest_knight1> Solorvox:  he was hard work
[00:45] <kyle6513> darkhelmut, the only previous experience i've had with ubuntu servers was when i was messing around with a program called webmin
[00:45] <stephthegeek> i need a copy of the cursors used in my theme (clearlooks).  where would i find the original image files?
[00:45] <Solorvox> adac, sometimes updates can change that on you.
[00:46] <jinchengwu> anyone who can help me out of ubuntu-goblemenu-applet?
[00:46] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  set up ubuntu desktop install openssh server log in with ssh username@server address -X and run what you want
[00:46] <adac> Solorvox, I see. Well that is quite bad. Where can I change those values back?
[00:46] <SaBot> Has anyone used tiling windows managers? I've been *trying* to use awesome3 but the configuration file is terrible to use, so I'm wondering if fvwm or something else is more sane.
[00:47] <S0LIDUS> kyle6513, Ubuntu server is far superior to windows server, definatley worth the trouble learning.
[00:47] <Brenden``> [19:45:23] <blackest_knight1> Brenden``:  be easier to delete the partition and grow the ntfs  to fill the space
[00:47] <Solorvox> adac, Look for your video settings, you should change the hue, or color value
[00:47] <Brenden``> sorry my bnc lagged
[00:47] <lstarnes> S0LIDUS: fvwm isn't tiling
[00:47] <kyle6513> s0lidus, i know that, since its free :D
[00:47] <Brenden``> So just delete it and like use the thing in windows and just merge it?
[00:47] <SaBot> Er, I mean like xmonad or something then
[00:47] <lstarnes> S0LIDUS: oops, that was for SaBot
[00:47] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, yeah i can do that, but the problem is, what do i install?
[00:47] <adac> Solorvox, You mean video settings directly within the player itself?
[00:47] <Solorvox> adac, Look under the video menu, I don't use miro so can't help ya
[00:48] <blackest_knight1> Brenden``:  there is a gparted live cd available you might find it useful
[00:48] <Solorvox> adac, yes
[00:48] <S0LIDUS> kyle6513, Yeah plus Unix! ; )
[00:48] <liamo1> I am trying to understand some scripts! One such script has the following line $(RUNF77) $(FFLAGS) -o $*.exe m$*.o $(EXTOBJ) $*.a. now I understand everything except $*.exe, m$*.0 and $*.a. I know what * is for but not $. Any help would be appreciated.
[00:48] <kyle6513> s0lidus, always hated windows, but i was brought up on it so its so hard to jump to linux :<
[00:48] <lstarnes> liamo1: is that from a Makefile?
[00:49] <liamo1> yes lstarnes
[00:49] <jcapinc> those are regular expressions, the $ stands for "begining of string";
[00:49] <lstarnes> liamo1: I'm not entirely sure, but $* might refer to the full arguments of a particular target or something
[00:49] <S0LIDUS> kyle6513, I know that feeling. Its a bit like the matrix, you have to be freed! ;p
[00:49] <lstarnes> jcapinc: in a makefile?
[00:49] <matts45acp> can somenone tell me why ubuntu 9.10 doesn't list anything in the hardware manger even though everything works but my wireless
[00:49] <adac> Solorvox, And that is the common solution for an upgrade/update bug?
[00:49] <Solorvox> liamo1, http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/othertypesv.html
[00:50] <liamo1> but how can that be in m$*.ojcapinc
[00:50] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  well you want a torrent client on the server so qbittorrent is one i like hmm you might have to use remote desktop or vnc to remote to your ubuntu server
[00:50] <Solorvox> adac, it happens sometimes, I wouldn't call it common.
[00:50] <jcapinc> I thought it was a shell script
[00:50] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  i only use windows in vm's
[00:50] <liamo1> Thanks Solorvox
[00:50] <jcapinc> I could be wrong, that is just what it looks like
[00:50] <Solorvox> liamo1, yw
[00:50] <S0LIDUS> blackest_knight1, Or the normal ssh! ;)
[00:50] <lstarnes> jcapinc: in a shell script, $* is the full arguments of the script or the current subroutine
[00:50] <mafia_> hey guys. i used cd desktop and then sudo tar zxfv filename.tar.gz. how do i delete the file from the desktop now. some help please. im a noob
[00:51] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, how about something like webmin? i was able to upload anything to my server from anywhere and i could monitor the hdd usage, although im not too sure the temprature was monitored
[00:51] <atx> rm
[00:51] <jolaren> mafia_; rm
[00:51] <Solorvox> !webmin
[00:51] <jcapinc> lstarnes, based on the context of the question, it did not look like that, it was '$*.exe' which looks to me like a regular expressiion
[00:51] <blackest_knight1> the normal ssh isn't going to be idle from windows and no X
[00:52] <atx> sudo rm [filename]
[00:52] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  the temperature is easy its given under /proc/ something
[00:52] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, ah, i see qbittorrent has a remote server ability
[00:52] <S0LIDUS> kyle6513, Webmin is just another wasted process and it screws up your conf files!
[00:52] <kyle6513> S0LIDUS, ah okay, thanks :)
[00:53] <matts45acp> can somenone tell me why ubuntu 9.10 doesn't list anything in the hardware manger even though everything works but my wireless
[00:53] <hiiiiick> i have no sound: http://pastebin.com/m2686852b :: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[00:53] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  its more linux boxes you can ssh in and run the app remotely and display it locally
[00:53] <S0LIDUS> kyle6513, Its well worth using the server the way you should!
[00:53] <adac> Solorvox, ok now I found out what to do. I don't like that either but well... So first you do in a terminal "gstreamer-properties" then you select the video tab and choose there "X window system (No Xv)". The you open vlc and go to extras -> preferences -> Video and then you choose "X11-Video-output"
[00:54] <blackest_knight1> i don't know of a cmdline bit torrent client
[00:54] <atx> me neither
[00:54] <m0rph1as> cTorrent?
[00:54] <Solorvox> adac, I wouldn't recommend doing it that way.  XV is much faster the X11 for video
[00:54] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, so should i install the server or the desktop version? this is a pretty old computer that im just throwing together about 5 days before i have to leave =/
[00:55] <adac> Solorvox, I see. Ok
[00:55] <Solorvox> adac, you just needed to change your video settings for the output driver you used in miro
[00:55] <S0LIDUS> blackest_knight1, The bittorrent client can be used in the terminal!
[00:55] <Solorvox> adac, so close miro, change it in vlc/media player/etc, then open it again.  Should be fine after that
[00:55] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  desktop as your not that experienced
[00:55] <m0rph1as> blackest_knight1, have you looked into using cTorrent?
[00:56] <adac> Solorvox, what is miro??
[00:56] <micromachstick> Hi im an ubuntu novie trying to establish a music program to upload cds, listen to music on and be able to sync two ipods with...can anyone help me?
[00:56] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, alright, i want to be able to manage this from any webbrowser on windows as thats what my laptop runs since this laptop is designed to run windows and all attempts with linux fail
[00:56] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  ctorrent seems to be recommended
[00:56] <Solorvox> adac, or whatever the name of your video player is
[00:56] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, would that be managed from the web? or atleast by using a windows prog?
[00:57] <atx> Banshee
[00:57] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  you could use telnet
[00:57] <rstob911> blackest_knight1: there are several just do a search    command line torrent linux
[00:57] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, aslong as it works im fine
[00:57] <adac> Solorvox, Ok i changed it back to automatic on "gstreamer-properties"
[00:57] <mafia_> jolarem  did sudo rm filename. gives me rm: cannot remove `etc': Is a directory
[00:57] <Tiders> How can I play MP3s on Ubuntu.... Im clicking play in Rhytm box but it keeps loading doing nothing
[00:57] <m0rph1as> micromachstick, someone recommends banshee
[00:58] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, is there anything i would be able to use to send an email if anything goes wrong?
[00:58] <danopia> kyle6513, transmission offers a simple webui
[00:58] <obiwan_> [#ubuntu] sudo chmod a+r /var/www and but i get error, no file or directory, what's up? i sure have files there
[00:58] <atx> etc/ looks like it is a directory, not a file
[00:58] <kyle6513> danopia, how simple?
[00:58] <obiwan_> oops
[00:58] <S0LIDUS> Tiders, Save yourself the agro and switch to FLAC!
[00:58] <danopia> you can add torrents, pause torrents, watch them
[00:58] <Tiders> S0LIDUS, Huh?
[00:58] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  your just going to have to get used to command line if your running windows ( or maybe qemu and a linux guest)
[00:58] <danopia> you can't download them; need to set up samba or such to acutally get the downloaded material
[00:59] <obiwan_> hi guys, 1 question a friend of mine is able to make sudo chmod a+r /var/www and works but i get error, no file or directory, what's up? i sure have files there
[00:59] <S0LIDUS> Tiders, FLAC is far better than the outdated MP3!
[00:59] <Tiders> S0LIDUS, Doesnt help me
[00:59] <micromachstick> m0rph1as: I've tried Banshee, Amarok, and Songbird..and the only one that i could get all my stuff done on was songbird. but it kept screwing up my ipod
[00:59] <blackest_knight1> danopia:  or sshfs thats good :)
[01:00] <S0LIDUS> Tiders, No, just some advice for the future. ;)
[01:00] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, i dont really mind if i use the command line, just so long as i can monitor it
[01:00] <Tiders> S0LIDUS, Okay well do you know hwo to get things playing
[01:00] <adac> Solorvox, Upgrding ubuntu seems never a good idea lately...
[01:00] <adac> *Upgrading
[01:00] <m0rph1as> micromachstick, i would try to seperate music management from ipod management for i remember when i had an ipod i used Songbird combined with something else
[01:01] <m0rph1as> micromachstick, mind me asking, is it an old iPod or one of the newer ones?
[01:01] <Solorvox> adac, I hate to have to agree, 9.10 broke my digital tablet.  :-/
[01:01] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  i'd set it up as desktop with openssh server and use telnet from your windows box
[01:01] <S0LIDUS> Tiders, I haven't had any probs with rythmbox. Are you using an LTS?
[01:01] <Tiders> S0LIDUS, 9.04
[01:01] <micromachstick> m0rph1as: I have an old nano..but my main ipod is two weeks old a Classic..so brand new yeah
[01:01] <S0LIDUS> kyle6513, You could use the watch command!
[01:01] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, alright, how would i go about the emailing dillemma? or should i just try what you've said for now
[01:01] <kyle6513> S0LIDUS, watch command?
[01:02] <blackest_knight1> theres something new for managing music on ipod and linux
[01:02] <S0LIDUS> Tiders, Sorry but I cant help you there...
[01:02] <DaZ> Tiders: run it from  the console and check output
[01:02] <blackest_knight1> stick with what you have for now
[01:02] <micromachstick> M0rph1as, i could get songbird to acknowledge the ipod if i completely wiped it everytime i plugged it in, and then it would even allow me to sync it..but then it would only play the first four seconds of each song over and over
[01:02] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, alright
[01:02] <mafia_> some help please .i have some files on my desktop that i cant delete. they are under root. i used  in terminal: sudo tar zxfv filename.tar.gz
[01:02] <DaZ> Tiders: this usually means there are no plugins for gstreamer installed
[01:02] <_Pb> what programming/console font do you guys use?
[01:02] <adac> Solorvox, I actually hate to say this too :( Well In the future i will do a fresh new install instead of upgrading. It caused too much trouble this time
[01:02] <m0rph1as> yep that sounds familiar micromachstick ...
[01:03] <S0LIDUS> kyle6513, watch can be used in the terminal to view program or hardware states. Its very usefull.
[01:03] <m0rph1as> ... hmm
[01:03] <kyle6513> S0LIDUS, and i could do this remotely, yes?
[01:03] <micromachstick> argh! any ideas what kinda programs at all might be better for ipod updates?
[01:03] <Tiders> DaZ, Traceback (most recent call last):

[01:03] <S0LIDUS> kyle6513, If you are going to use the noraml SSH, then yes you could...
[01:04] <m0rph1as> Solvorox, it also helped make plug-in-play input devices easier :/

[01:07] <rbehr> What is the difference between 2.16.31.16-generic and 2.16.31.14-generic boot options? I get an error when I login to the 2.16.31.16-generic
[01:07] <Solorvox> adac, well, broke support for it.  It used to work great in 9.04.  9.10 either crashes the system, (X crashes) or just doesn't work at all.
[01:07] <mafia_> i used sabots ways worked thank guys
[01:08] <adac> Solorvox, Ahh ok support broken, I see. Hmm what device do you use If I may ask?
[01:08] <Solorvox> adac, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/498008
[01:09] <rbehr> Solo was this response to my boot issue??
[01:10] <adac> Solorvox, oh I see! I can understand that must very sad not be able to use it anymore :(
[01:11] <adac> Solorvox, So is this a bug obviously or did they completely suspend the support on that tablet?
[01:11] <mafia_> does anyone now a good site with all the ubuntu 9.10 terminal command? will come in handy for me to learn thanks
[01:11] <White_Pelican> newbie to gnome here again, how do i change the gdm theme?
[01:12] <blackest_knight1> Solorvox tried sudo gimp ?
[01:12] <Solorvox> adac, Hard to say, as the tablet worked before with just evdev support (no drivers), but with the new hal setup, not sure how they plan on working on it.
[01:13] <Solorvox> blackest_knight1, read the bug report, I changed mod on the input event, didn't work.

[01:16] <shazbotmcnasty> !hi ImJJames
[01:16] <shazbotmcnasty> :[
[01:16] <amelius> mafia_: try "cat /etc/lsb-release", actually (had to look it up myself)
[01:16] <ImJJames> lol
[01:16] <shazbotmcnasty> !hello ImJJames
[01:16] <shazbotmcnasty> :[ x2
[01:17] <ImJJames> well i have a problem =)
[01:17] <Solorvox> blackest_knight1, if I re-install anything, it'll be going back to 9.04.  Not much point to install kbuntu just to spend time installing all the gnome versions of things. :)
[01:17] <shazbotmcnasty> which is
[01:17] <shazbotmcnasty> ?
[01:17] <ImJJames> my new years resolution
[01:17] <Bamboozle> very well, my touchpad has a scroll bar next to it, if I enable edge scrolling it works, but so does scrolling at the edge of the touchpad
[01:17] <ImJJames> is to go pure linux
[01:17] <ImJJames> nomore windows =)
[01:17] <shazbotmcnasty> good
[01:17] <Thor^^> that's nice, I guess ImJJames :)
[01:17] <anonymous_3> ummm I have adobe flash...is there more I need?
[01:17] <shazbotmcnasty> what's the problem?
[01:17] <micromachstick> blackest_knight1: thanks for the link..it's definitely informative  on the subject but doesnt really solve my problem
[01:17] <Sattvic> how can I change my screen resolution?
[01:17] <Bamboozle> if I disable edge scrolling my scroll bar doesnt work, but I can use my entire mouse pad
[01:17] <Thor^^> sadly I can't make that promise :/
[01:17] <Solorvox> Sattvic, system/preferences/display
[01:18] <ImJJames> so i installed xubuntu 9.10 on a old armada e500 with no problems everyhting works good and looks good
[01:18] <shazbotmcnasty> Sattvic System>preferences>display
[01:18] <Bamboozle> is there a setting where my scrollbar will work, and I can use my entire mousepad
[01:18] <shazbotmcnasty> ahh
[01:18] <blackest_knight1> Solorvox:  its what live cd's are for
[01:18] <mafia_> amelus in terminal?
[01:18] <Sattvic> Solorvox: thanks
[01:18] <SaBot> Okay, I have the latest ubuntu netbook remix running, and I see nothing in preferences letting me switch to classic mode
[01:18] <Solorvox> blackest_knight1, I know it works in 9.04, no need to test it.
[01:18] <ImJJames> so I installed xbuntu 9.10 on my other laptop and screen flickers what can be causing that
[01:19] <kyle6513> ImJJames, how do you mean flickers?
[01:19] <blackest_knight1> Solorvox:  how about run virtualbox install 9.04 and pass the tablet to the guest :)
[01:19] <Solorvox> ImJJames, refresh rate set correctly?
[01:19] <ImJJames> it flickers mostly when I click on the mouse
[01:19] <amelius> mafia_: that was intended for Sattvic, sorry
[01:19] <kyle6513> ImJJames, check the connections of the monitor and the power cable? :P
[01:19] <ImJJames> its weird because i installed wine and played a video game counter-strike and screen does not flicker while in game
[01:19] <shazbotmcnasty> ImJJames, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=579565&highlight=screen+flicker
[01:19] <mafia_> k
[01:19] <ImJJames> and when I exit than screen flickers again
[01:19] <kyle6513> ImJJames, is the screen resolution/refresh rate right?
[01:19] <ImJJames> yes
[01:19] <ImJJames> -(
[01:20] <kyle6513> see shazbots'
[01:20] <kyle6513> link
[01:20] <tekk__> hey guys, i'm trying to get ubuntu 9.10 onto my powermac g5 using the powerpc iso image... the alternate installer seems to work (not fully tested) but the graphical installer (what i need as its a live cd) isn't wroking, the screen simply displays a distorted ubuntu logo and then goes back to console and flickers a lot...
[01:20] <Solorvox> ImJJames, games often run at different resolutions and refresh rates then the desktop
[01:20] <ImJJames> when I go down resolution it does not flicker
[01:21] <phant0m> could someone pls help me with this sound issue
[01:21] <ImJJames> but I know its not the right resolution bcuz fonts and pics are distorted but flickers stop
[01:21] <airwalker> hi all
[01:21] <blakkheim> tekk__: why do you need a graphical install?
[01:21] <kyle6513> ImJJames, then it should be your refresh rate thats causing the problem, or, the resolution isnt correct, what is the resolution set up in counter-strike?
[01:21] <tekk__> i need a live cd to test something before i install
[01:21] <ImJJames> 640 x 480
[01:21] <ImJJames> 16bit
[01:21] <tekk__> the alternate installer doesn't offer "live-cd" functionality
[01:21] <ImJJames> software mode
[01:21] <anonymous_3> Ummm do I need a Graphics chip driver to run web games?
[01:21] <ImJJames> opengl to laggy
[01:21] <blakkheim> tekk__: test what?
[01:21] <kyle6513> ImJJames, try setting the desktop resolution in counterstrike and see if it flickers then
[01:22] <ImJJames> it doesnt
[01:22] <phant0m> yes anonymouse
[01:22] <airwalker> if I close my lid my usb hd disconnects I use encryption
[01:22] <tekk__> zfs deduplication on fuse on a PPC machine
[01:22] <tekk__> :)
[01:22] <ImJJames> anything 800 x 600 and below
[01:22] <obiwan_> hi please, why when i do sudo chmod a+x /var/www/* i get error no file or directory? if i set /var/www with 777 permissions it lets me, it's like chmod needs permissions in www to modify its file permissions, but that's WHY i use sudo with chmod, it should let me whatever the www permissions are
[01:22] <ImJJames> it does not flicker
[01:22] <kyle6513> ImJJames, then it's the refresh rate
[01:22] <kyle6513> !refreshrate
[01:22] <ImJJames> well it only gives me one option
[01:22] <ImJJames> 60mhz
[01:22] <ImJJames> on all settings
[01:22] <kyle6513> ImJJames, hmmm that is strange :S
[01:22] <mime> hi, does anyone know how to let windows open in afterstep once rebooted?
[01:22] <ImJJames> :/
[01:22] <jollyroger_> hey guys, i am having a big problem with libxul-dev: on install i get: The following packages are BROKEN:  xulrunner-1.9.1
[01:22] <jollyroger_> http://pastie.org/753921
[01:22] <Sattvic> how can I check to see if I have 9.04 or 9.10 installed?
[01:23] <mime> thnx

[01:23] <jollyroger_> i tried reinstalling it - no luck
[01:23] <ImJJames> mb*
[01:23] <^Ocean^> Do i need todo anything fancy to use /etc/rc.local ?  The command i put in there do not seem to be running.
[01:23] <Solorvox> ImJJames, see if your display supports other modes: xrandr -q
[01:23] <bastidrazor> Sattvic: lsb_release -a
[01:23] <Sattvic> thanks
[01:23] <kyle6513> ImJJames, you might want to ask someone else as im not a guru here, just waiting for my install to finish :P
[01:23] <Guest66206> I keep getting hash sum mismatch errors when installing things, what cuases this?
[01:23] <Guest66206> *causes
[01:23] <bastidrazor> ^Ocean^: you need to put the entire path to your command.. for example /home/ocean/command
[01:24] <Solorvox> Guest66206, check your memory (memtest)
[01:24] <ImJJames> modes: xrandr -q
[01:24] <ImJJames> No command 'modes:' found, did you mean:
[01:24] <preecher> when i try to drag a file from documents to desktop it wont do it and when i try to copy and paste it it dont let me--what i need to do
[01:24] <blackest_knight1> jollyroger_:  tend to have to remove conflicting packages then change the order of reinstalling them
[01:24] <blakkheim> preecher: any errors?
[01:24] <Guest66206> how do I check my memory?
[01:24] <^Ocean^> bastidrazor: Well right now my command is Echo "Test" >> /var/Boottest
[01:24] <preecher> blakkheim,  no
[01:24] <anonymous_3> ummm hey?
[01:24] <Guest66206> just "memtest" in the terminal?
[01:24] <blakkheim> ^Ocean^: echo, not Echo
[01:24] <Solorvox> Guest66206, when you boot the livecd, select the memtest option
[01:24] <bastidrazor> ^Ocean^: you need to have the full path to echo
[01:24] <blakkheim> preecher: try doing it from the commandline
[01:24] <ImJJames> read forum link that u gave me brb
[01:24] <ImJJames> reading*
[01:25] <^Ocean^> bastidrazor hmm let me give it a shot
[01:25] <preecher> blakkheim, i dont kno how
[01:25] <Guest66206> So I have to boot from my installation cd to run a memory test? Will that work from a USB as well?
[01:25] <tekk__> i think thep roblem may lay in the fact that this is a quad cpu system and has a specialist CAD graphics card.... not your average
[01:25] <Solorvox> ImJJames, what kind of video card do you have?
[01:25] <blakkheim> preecher: open terminal, cd to the directory of the file and cp it to ~/Desktop
[01:25] <preecher> im tryn install some hp drivers for ubuntu and i have the command for if its on my desktop

[01:28] <Sattvic> blakkheim: then what should I do?
[01:28] <airwalker> tnx ubottu

[01:28] <daves111> help anyone: installed 9.10, now can only use failsafe gnome or it freezes after desktop opens
[01:28] <Sattvic> blakkheim: where do I find it?
[01:28] <kyle6513> solorvox, but after that, if it shuts down and starts back up, will it do that again once it gets to that time again without any further input?
[01:28] <blackest_knight1> jollyroger_: that  could get interesting try aptitude install see if it figures a good compromise
[01:28] <blakkheim> Sattvic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[01:28] <Sattvic> blakkheim: thanks
[01:29] <preecher> blakkheim, the command i have is ~/Desktop$ sh hplip-3.9.12.run    can i just type in documents instead of desktop and it work
[01:29] <Solorvox> kyle6513, no, that will only shut down if it's 10:00 (2200)  There is no way to keep it shut down if someone turns it back on after 2200
[01:29] <kyle6513> solorvox, how about the next day at 2200?
[01:29] <matts45acp> can somenone tell me why ubuntu 9.10 doesn't list anything in the hardware manger even though everything works but my wireless
[01:29] <daves111> please anyone: installed 9.10, now can only use failsafe gnome or it freezes after desktop opens
[01:29] <Solorvox> kyle6513, yes, every day, that command will shut down the computer at 2200
[01:30] <kyle6513> Solorvox, sweet, thats what i wanted, thanks!
[01:30] <airwalker> help if I close my lid my usb hd disconnects I use encryption
[01:30] <blakkheim> airwalker: stop repeating the same thing
[01:30] <unity24> hi there!anyone have any idea how to clear mbr?a rootkit infected my laptop
[01:30] <Solorvox> kyle6513, so if you setup the bios to turn on at say, 0600, then it will run from 0600 until 2200.
[01:30] <kyle6513> airwalker, does the laptop go into standby when you close the lid?
[01:30] <ImJJames> how can I change refesh rate manually through terminal?
[01:30] <roosh> When I try to run 9.10 on the live cd, I get the message: video mode not supported. What should I do?
[01:30] <kyle6513> Solorvox, yep thats what i plan on doing ^-^
[01:31] <blackest_knight1> airwalker:  its suspending due to the event  find out why
[01:31] <Screwy> Anyone here willing to help with troubleshooting connecting to my wired network?
[01:31] <Guest83757> quick question, when I try to burn a cd from mp3 files in brasero, it says (filename).mp3 is not suitable for audio or video media, I think I have to install a mp3 code...which one is it?
[01:31] <kyle6513> screwy, type ifconfig in a terminal
[01:31] <Screwy> I did
[01:31] <kyle6513> Screwy, whats the output? pastebin it.
[01:31] <airwalker> @kyle no it's supposed to just lock the screen
[01:32] <kyle6513> airwalker, does it do this
[01:33] <airwalker> @kyle dunno
[01:33] <daves111> no one has any ideas on why my new install 9.10 freezes on gnome but not failsafe gnome?????
[01:33] <airwalker> @kyle it seems to just umount the drive
[01:33] <Screwy> I'm currently connected to my desktop through my wired connection. Would I need to disconnect and plug into my laptop (running Ubuntu) to get the right information on ifconfig?
[01:33] <kyle6513> airwalker, would be helpful if you could find that out, upon opening the lid to your laptop do you have to press a key or does the screen immediately come back?
[01:34] <LinUX> Can anyone help with this please?  Could not open location 'file:///home/xxx    No application is registered as handling this file
[01:34] <shazbotmcnasty> because failsafe is failsafe, it will not fail, and gnome is not
[01:34] <Screwy> It seems my Ethernet reads the PC Link, but it's not connecting automatically on Ubuntu.
[01:34] <Solorvox> daves111, could be video driver (ATI?)  or ACPI problem
[01:34] <kyle6513> Screwy, yes, if your laptop is the malfunctioning computer
[01:34] <shazbotmcnasty> LinUX, what are you trying to open?
[01:34] <daves111> shazbotmcnasty any ideas why?
[01:34] <shazbotmcnasty> I'm sorry, I really have no idea.
[01:34] <shazbotmcnasty> How old is the install?
[01:34] <daves111> ok, thanks anyway
[01:34] <kyle6513> Screwy, atm i'm just trying to figure out if its your ip configs being messed up
[01:34] <airwalker> @kyle the screen's there immediately
[01:34] <daves111> just did it again
[01:35] <shazbotmcnasty> did you mess with ~/.profiles ?
[01:35] <scott_ino2> amelius, well... my network didn't like all that fiddling :)
[01:35] <LinUX> shazbotmcnasty, when I try to open foders under "Places" on the panel I get that error?
[01:35] <kyle6513> airwalker, doesnt seem to be going into standby
[01:35] <daves111> it worked with previous version
[01:35] <daves111> no, don't think so
[01:35] <Screwy> Shouldn't the wired connection connect automatically when connected to the Ethernet?
[01:35] <preecher> any one know the command for moving a file from documents to desktop
[01:35] <kyle6513> airwalker, when you go back into ubuntu is the hdd unmounted?
[01:35] <shazbotmcnasty> Do you have your video card drivers installed?
[01:35] <scott_ino2> preecher type "man mv"
[01:35] <shazbotmcnasty> @daves111
[01:36] <shazbotmcnasty> @ daves111
[01:36] <scott_ino2> in terminal
[01:36] <kyle6513> Screwy, yeah it should, what are you attempting to connect your laptop to?
[01:36] <vr_mex> is there a way to add a delete icon to nautilus in the nautilus tool bar?
[01:36] <airwalker> @kyle no just the usb hd
[01:36] <daves111> yes, I think so; it will open to desktop then shorty will freeze
[01:36] <ImJJames> ok so weird I just f11 firefox
[01:36] <ImJJames> for fullscreen mode
[01:36] <ImJJames> and flicker stops
[01:36] <ImJJames> ...
[01:36] <Screwy> Just my wired ethernet connection that I'm currently connected to. My desktop has no trouble connecting.
[01:36] <kyle6513> airwalker, thats what i was talking about, is the usb hdd unmounted
[01:37] <ImJJames> nevermind
[01:37] <ImJJames> lol
[01:37] <ImJJames> its back
[01:37] <airwalker> kyle, yes
[01:37] <kyle6513> Screwy, does this wired ethernet connection head to a router or?
[01:37] <shazbotmcnasty> ImJJames, you have the appropriate video card drivers installed right?
[01:37] <daves111> shazbotmcnasty ...  yes, I think so; it will open to desktop then shorty will freeze
[01:37] <LinUX> shazbotmcnasty, Any Ideas?
[01:37] <kyle6513> airwalker, seems that it's recieving a signal to be unmounted, do you have a sort of usb key?
[01:37] <Screwy> Yes
[01:37] <amelius> scott_ino2: your ISP blocking everything but the router?
[01:37] <ImJJames> i think so
[01:37] <ImJJames> how can I tell
[01:37] <ImJJames> lol
[01:38] <shazbotmcnasty> LinUX, actually, let me google it - is what you put in here, the exact error message?
[01:38] <airwalker> kyle, no
[01:38] <kyle6513> Screwy, yes, i'm attempting to find out if the router is assigning your laptop a proper ip address
[01:38] <ImJJames> ok what weirder is when I run fluxbox session
[01:38] <shazbotmcnasty> You should msg me the exact error message, but I have to be right back, because one of the dogs shit in the house
[01:38] <ImJJames> no flicker
[01:38] <ImJJames> until I open firefos
[01:38] <shazbotmcnasty> sorry for the language
[01:38] <scott_ino2> amelius, i don't think so.... think it just didnt like how it had to keep resolving ips...
[01:38] <ImJJames> firefox than flicker starts again
[01:38] <LadyLynn> I used to dual boot with Vista, but I just formatted that partition, how do I increase the size of the ubuntu partition, so that my hard drive only has one?
[01:39] <LinUX> shazbotmcnasty, Yes it is, and ive been "googling" for 3 days without success :(
[01:39] <kyle6513> airwalker, any usb devices that can be mounted with files on it? such as an mp3 player?
[01:39] <airwalker> kyle, what are you aiming at?
[01:39] <ImJJames> how can i set refresh rate manually
[01:39] <shazbotmcnasty> LadyLynn, sudo gparted
[01:39] <shazbotmcnasty> well actually, you should do that live.
[01:39] <shazbotmcnasty> Do you have a USB stick?
[01:39] <shazbotmcnasty> @ LadyLynn
[01:39] <airwalker> kyle yes offcourse
[01:39] <kyle6513> airwalker, seeing if it is just that specific drive that decides to disconnect, if it does, it could be something to do with the encryption
[01:39] <LadyLynn> shazbot, I don't have the option to resize the partition
[01:39] <blackest_knight1> LadyLynn:  hi with gparted
[01:40] <shazbotmcnasty> you have to delete the second partition, then resize the existing partition over the unallocated part of the HDD
[01:41] <amelius> scott_ino2: if it's not feasible to temporarily go around the router, have someone fiddle with its settings: some of them have various helper functions for VPN stuff, not all of which are equally helpful ;)
[01:41] <blackest_knight1> LadyLynn:  trouble is your using the partition you want to resize so get gparted live cd boot it and resize
[01:41] <Screwy> I use a rca thomson dcm425.
[01:41] <shazbotmcnasty> but you want to do that live, because you have to unmount the drive to do so, you can't run gparted on an unmounted hgdd partition
[01:41] <shazbotmcnasty> all @ LadyLynn
[01:41] <Screwy> cable modem.
[01:41] <scott_ino2> amelius, yeah I'm looking into that now, got the dd-wrt guys assisting me
[01:42] <LadyLynn> easier to just have two partitions?
[01:42] <kyle6513> Screwy, yes, but in order to grab information off the router the laptop needs to ask the router for its ip address, unless you are using static ip's?
[01:42] <nameo0> i need help expanding my ubunutu partition
[01:42] <nameo0> can someone please help me?
[01:42] <vr_mex> is there a way to add a delete icon to nautilus in the nautilus tool bar?
[01:42] <scott_ino2> amelius, im still not convinced it's not my ISP though :)
[01:42] <Screwy> The router is the cable modem, right? Or not?
[01:42] <Screwy> New to all of this.
[01:42] <blackest_knight1> LadyLynn: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
[01:43] <kyle6513> Screwy, uh sorry used the wrong word :P but yes i was talking about the cable modem
[01:43] <amelius> scott_ino2: or the VPN service
[01:43] <jubaitca> hi
[01:43] <Screwy> Okay. Can I get the ip adress while on my desktop?
[01:43] <kyle6513> Screwy, pretty sure you can, are you running linux or windows?
[01:43] <nameo0> who knows how to expand ubuntu's partition?
[01:43] <Screwy> Windows
[01:44] <scott_ino2> amelius, true, however I tried them a few months ago without issue...
[01:44] <blackest_knight1> nameo0: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
[01:44] <scott_ino2> but that was on intrepid
[01:44] <kyle6513> Screwy, okay do you know how to grab that info?
[01:44] <Screwy> Nope
[01:44] <kyle6513> Screwy, alright, go to start > run and in there type cmd
[01:45] <kyle6513> Screwy, when a black window pops up do ipconfig then go to pastebin and paste the results and send me the link
[01:46] <jubaitca> i have a question...i am trying to dual/triple boot with windows 7 & xp and ubuntu...i tried following the intructions in the forum but I get stuck at one point...after the boot loader is eaten up by installing windows 7 I try to boot ubunutu back with the cd but it boots to the live version and not the one installed in the hard drive and thus when try to "find /boot/grub/stage1" in grub it error

[01:48] <kyle6513> Screwy, alright now jump to your laptop and in a terminal window do ifconfig, then throw it in a text file, transfer it to your desktop and see if the information of these two things match
[01:48] <ImJJames> n System > Preferences > Appearance, set Visual Effects to 'none

[01:48] <ImJJames> where is it
[01:48] <kyle6513> Screwy, make sure you start the laptop with the ethernet cable in though!
[01:48] <scott_ino2> agreed, it's possible
[01:49] <jubaitca> any thoughts?
[01:49] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, should i do sudo apt-get install openssh?

[01:50] <jolaren> grub loading please wait.... error 17
[01:50] <jolaren> while trying to boot xbmc
[01:50] <DaZ> eaglestar: mount it, chroot it
[01:51] <DaZ> i don't know what's hard in it [;
[01:51] <jolaren> error 17 is grub error, right?
[01:51] <DaZ> jolaren: it is
[01:51] <jubaitca> daz : how would you mount it?
[01:51] <blakkheim> eaglestar: mount /dev/sdX /mnt ; chroot /mnt
[01:51] <eaglestar> Daz how do i do that
[01:52] <ImJJames> wow this is frustrating
[01:52] <kyle6513> ImJJames, thats linux :P
[01:53] <jolaren> DaZ: I will try to reinstall xbmc once again. If that doesn't work, what's the next step? Manual configuration of grub?
[01:53] <ImJJames> cant find the option to set my Visual Effects...
[01:53] <jubaitca> any help?
[01:53] <Sattvic> blakkheim: even after the driver install for the nvidia video driver, I cannot change the monitor settings to be smaller - my icons are huge - 640 x
[01:53] <eaglestar> the disk is mounted already how do i access the protected files blakkheim
[01:53] <scott_ino2> jolaren, are you trying to use a stable build or a more recent one
[01:53] <kyle6513> ImJJames, right click on the desktop, change desktop background and in the visual effects tab change it to none, atleast i think thats what that guide is telling you
[01:53] <DaZ> jolaren: i don't know what xmbc has to broken grub
[01:53] <L23> Hi
[01:54] <jolaren> scott_ino2; The newest rc1, the stable version will not boot for whatever reason
[01:54] <DaZ> jolaren: are you using grub or grub2?
[01:54] <L23> Can I get some help with my audio via HDMI?
[01:54] <scott_ino2> jolaren, what hardware are you using for this?
[01:54] <kyle6513> my network card isnt detected in ubuntu although the lights are on, any help?
[01:54] <ImJJames> Visual Effects Tab is nto there
[01:54] <DaZ> jolaren: because grub does not see /boot ext4 without patches
[01:54] <ImJJames> only backround Menus Icons
[01:55] <jolaren> DaZ: Grub 1.5
[01:55] <jubaitca> i am trying to dual/triple boot with windows 7 & xp and ubuntu...i tried following the intructions in the forum but I get stuck at one point...after the boot loader is eaten up by installing windows 7 I try to boot ubunutu back with the cd but it boots to the live version and not the one installed in the hard drive and thus when try to "find /boot/grub/stage1" in grub i get error saying file not found
[01:55] <DaZ> s/boot/boot on/
[01:55] <scott_ino2> jolaren, if it's new it's possible it just doesn't like your hardware
[01:55] <jolaren> scott_ino2; Nvidia ION, ion asrock330bd
[01:55] <brodeurpc> battery died on my laptop and now my Ubuntu 9.10 wont load??
[01:55] <Screwy> This is what the terminal showed on my laptop: http://pastebin.com/d280c3fa9
[01:55] <jolaren> Should be no problems with my hardware really
[01:55] <scott_ino2> L23, nvidia or ATI??
[01:55] <jolaren> nvidia
[01:55] <Screwy> It isn't the same as what my dektop shows when I'm connected to my wired network.
[01:55] <ImJJames> brodeurpc wat error do u get
[01:55] <DaZ> jolaren: there is no grub 1.5 [;
[01:55] <brodeurpc> comes up to a black screen with the Ubuntu logo and says One or more of the mounts listed cannot yet be mounted
[01:56] <Screwy> Hope you can continue helping, kyle6513.

[01:56] <L23> scott_ino2, NVIDIA
[01:56] <vr_mex> is there a way to add a delete icon to nautilus in the nautilus tool bar?
[01:56] <kyle6513> Screwy, thats the problem then, its not finding the correct ip's and information
[01:56] <jolaren> DaZ: Could have sworn it said grub 1.5 while loading. But I dont know now when you said that
[01:56] <eaglestar> how do i chroot a mounted hard drive please help
[01:56] <vr_mex> is there a way to add a delete icon to nautilus in the nautilus tool bar?
[01:56] <Sattvic> I cannot seem to make my screen resolution smaller even after the nvidia driver download
[01:56] <blakkheim> eaglestar: mount /dev/sdX /mnt ; chroot /mnt
[01:56] <brodeurpc> ImJJames, One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/stab cannot yet be mounted
[01:56] <scott_ino2> jolaren, let me see what i used i have an ION based board as well....
[01:56] <Screwy> Ah, how can I fix this?
[01:56] <Sattvic> blakkheim: once I download the nvidia driver, do I have to install it?
[01:56] <ImJJames> huh?
[01:57] <blakkheim> Sattvic: is that not an obvious answer?
[01:57] <Random832> note that /mnt needs to have a valid shell in $SHELL or you need to do /bin/sh or whatever (path is relative to the chroot)
[01:57] <ImJJames> oh
[01:57] <scott_ino2> jolaren, one sec
[01:57] <DaZ> jolaren: what filesystem?
[01:57] <defrysk> vr_mex, there is a way to delete : shift-delete
[01:57] <kyle6513> Screwy, although, it doesnt seem to be giving any ip information at all
[01:57] <eaglestar> blakkheim:  the disc is already mounted
[01:57] <jolaren> DAZ: ext4
[01:57] <scott_ino2> L23, im used to ATI, sorry
[01:57] <Sattvic> blakkheim: I was under the hardware driver manager - how to I install?
[01:57] <jubaitca> anyone please?
[01:57] <Screwy> That's what came up while I was connected to the cable modem.
[01:57] <blakkheim> eaglestar: then chroot to it. what's the problem? i told you how to already.
[01:57] <L23> scott_ino2 thanks anyway
[01:57] <brodeurpc> ImJJames, also says Press ESC to enter a recovery shell
[01:57] <blakkheim> Sattvic: read the binary driver howto page
[01:57] <kyle6513> Screwy, so if you can connect to it, whats the problem? :P
[01:57] <defrysk> vr_mex, also in the settings of nautilus you can add a delete option
[01:58] <jolaren> scott_ino, DaZ; I will try to install the stable version from a cd instead of various usb sticks
[01:58] <Screwy> I wasn't connected. I was only plugged into it.
[01:58] <DaZ> jolaren: 17 means unknown filesystem so it's either because of ext with grub1 or wrong partition [;
[01:58] <Screwy> And the modem shows a PC Link.
[01:58] <ImJJames> broderurpc cant help  u bro
[01:58] <ImJJames> :/
[01:58] <jolaren> DaZ; I'm looking in gparted now, it's def ext4
[01:58] <scott_ino2> jolaren, give that a go and i'll be here
[01:58] <digitalaxis> hey guys, how do i navigate to the "C" drive created by wine?
[01:58] <LinUX> Can anyone help with this error please? Could not open location 'file:///home/fred' No application is registered as handling this file
[01:59] <vr_mex> defrysk: thanks but is there a way to put a delete icon on the tools that when a file is selected and then the icon is clicked it will delete the selected file?
[01:59] <scott_ino2> jolaren, but like i said i just did an install on an asus machine i bought and it has ION and they have ion specific versions of xbmc
[01:59] <hikenboot> mode=0777 results in a samba share where the root folder time stamps cant be changed what permissions do i use to allow this change
[01:59] <blakkheim> digitalaxis: cd .wine/drive_c
[01:59] <brodeurpc> battery died on my laptop and now my Ubuntu 9.10 wont load??
[01:59] <DaZ> jolaren: what did you actually do? because xbmc is in debfiles and can't break grub this way [;
[01:59] <kyle6513> Screwy, what comes up in the top bar where the internet connection is?
[01:59] <DaZ> brodeurpc: it won't i suggest recharging.
[01:59] <Random832> digitalaxis, wine cmd, then c:
[01:59] <defrysk> vr_mex, only the 2 options I gave afaIk
[01:59] <Screwy> You mean the network manager?
[01:59] <brodeurpc> comes up to a black screen with the Ubuntu logo and says One or more of the mounts listed cannot yet be mounted
[01:59] <vr_mex> defrysk: ok thanks a lot
[01:59] <Random832> or rather wine cmd /k c:
[02:00] <jolaren> scott_ino2; they do? where? ;o
[02:00] <defrysk> vr_mex, otherwise try gnome-commander, a 2pane filemanager which includes a del button
[02:00] <scott_ino2> jolaren, let me find it
[02:00] <jolaren> DaZ; I've been fumbling around. I'm installing xbmc to a external harddrive
[02:00] <kyle6513> Screwy, yes that
[02:00] <brodeurpc> DaZ, i left it running on the battery and got distracted doing something else
[02:00] <scott_ino2> jolaren, i don't know if it's specific, just know the guide I followed told me to get a certain one that had the ION drivers in it.....
[02:00] <Screwy> Under my wired connections, I get Auto eth0 and Auto Ethernet.
[02:00] <scott_ino2> jolaren, let me find it
[02:01] <jolaren> scott_ino2; oh, nvm. that I know of, your talkin about the nvidia drivers whom are needed
[02:01] <jeremey> how do i stop showing people who have left and entered the room?
[02:01] <blakkheim> jeremey: what irc client?
[02:01] <jolaren> jeremey; depends on your irc client
[02:01] <jeremey> pidgen
[02:01] <brodeurpc> DaZ, comes up to a black screen with the Ubuntu logo and says One or more of the mounts listed cannot yet be mounted
[02:01] <scott_ino2> jolaren, wasn't sure if it was configured a certain way, or any other mods to kernel or something
[02:01] <ImJJames> ok whats the command to check what mode your video adapter is running
[02:01] <ImJJames> for example
[02:01] <ImJJames> direct rendering: Yes
[02:01] <ImJJames> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 845G GEM 20090712 2009Q2 RC3 x86/MMX/SSE2
[02:01] <ImJJames> how do i get that
[02:02] <jolaren> scott_ino2, DzA; My last cd-r ! Hoping this will work, haha.
[02:02] <shazbotmcnasty> LinUX, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=944225
[02:02] <scott_ino2> jolaren, or you have another hot chocolate coaster ;)
[02:02] <kyle6513> Screwy, on your laptop while the ethernet is plugged in, in a terminal type "sudo dhclient eth0" and if you still arent connected to the internet try the same command but instead of eth0 try eth1
[02:03] <eaglestar> should i unmount the volume firsrst blakkheim
[02:03] <Screwy> Okay, I will try it.
[02:03] <blakkheim> eaglestar: it needs to be mounted for you to chroot it
[02:03] <kyle6513> Screwy, Good luck!
[02:03] <darrend> ImJJames: glxinfo
[02:03] <Screwy> Thanks for all your help.
[02:03] <Screwy> Hope it works.
[02:03] <kyle6513> Screwy, all right, me too :)
[02:03] <eaglestar> yeah i clicked on it in the gui nautilus that is why i asked
[02:03] <jolaren> scott_ino2, DzA; my external hdd is partioned this way (10gb - ext4) then 1 linux swap on 10 gig then rest is like 480 ntfs
[02:04] <scott_ino2> jolaren, is your xbmc installed on external? or what's your setup
[02:04] <kyle6513> my ethernet card is not detected, anyone who can help me?
[02:04] <jolaren> scott_ino2; yer
[02:04] <brodeurpc> battery died on my laptop and now my Ubuntu 9.10 wont load??
[02:04] <jolaren> scott_ino2; or well, kinda. Doesn't boot.
[02:04] <jeremey> ok then, what is a better irc client for ubuntu besides pidgin, i don't care who has joined or left a room
[02:04] <blakkheim> !repeat > brodeurpc
[02:04] <ImJJames> my glxinfo is not installed
[02:04] <blakkheim> jeremey: irssi
[02:04] <jolaren> jeremey; I use xchat, that's the best client I know of.
[02:05] <ImJJames> installing meta util
[02:05] <ImJJames> holdodn
[02:05] <jolaren> jeremey; but hey, it's all free to try it out. I really dislike irssi
[02:05] <shazbotmcnasty> jeremey, I think you should use xchat
[02:05] <ImJJames> there u og
[02:05] <ImJJames> go*
[02:05] <scott_ino2> jolaren, be back in a bit, let me konw how it goes
[02:05] <shazbotmcnasty> irssi is in terminal, and a bit harder to use
[02:05] <jeremey> ive used xchat on windows, thanks jolaren, thanks blakkheim, ill chek that out.     brb
[02:05] <shazbotmcnasty> pidgin is terrible, but xchat is all around good in my opinion
[02:05] <jolaren> jeremey; there's also a client called konversation that's quite nice
[02:05] <shazbotmcnasty> jeremey, to get it 'sudo apt-get install xchat' to get it
[02:06] <DaZ> jolaren: and pointless if someone isn't using kde
[02:06] <shazbotmcnasty> or in 9.10 you have to go into synaptic and make universe repos usable
[02:06] <jolaren> DaZ; Oh, it's kde. Long time no use
[02:06] <blakkheim> jolaren: does the "k" not give it away?
[02:07] <ImJJames> xorg.conf
[02:07] <ImJJames> where is it
[02:07] <jolaren> blakkheim; Not really. Konversation in Swedish means to talk to someone "Conversation" in English..
[02:07] <jolaren> blakkheim; So didn't really consider it ^^
[02:07] <scunizi> ImJJames: doesn't have anything in it anymore anyway.. xrandr handles video/monitor setup
[02:07] <_ged> hi, how can i change the location of the pc using command line?
[02:07] <blakkheim> jolaren: oh ok lol
[02:07] <jolaren> _ged; you need to elaborate that
[02:07] <_ged> I mean the one on your Region and Time
[02:08] <blackest_knight1> 3am in sweden isn't it ?
[02:08] <kyle6513> i suppose you could do it manually _ged, you know, walk over to the computer and pick it up? :P
[02:08] <_ged> ahm, i think my question is not right... wait let me rephrase it..
[02:08] <DaZ> _ged: you want to change the timezone, amirite? [;
[02:08] <jolaren> _ged; system > administration > language settings (or whatever)
[02:09] <shazbotmcnasty> _ged, I'm sure he was kidding.

[02:09] <kyle6513> jolaren, he was talking about in command line
[02:09] <ImJJames> =)
[02:09] <jolaren> oh
[02:09] <_ged> a...lool... i thought my question is not understandable...
[02:09] <jolaren> just for the heck of it?
[02:09] <jolaren> I mean, why change language with the commandoline?
[02:09] <jolaren> blackest_knight1; yer your correct
[02:09] <kyle6513> jolaren, server? =]
[02:09] <_ged> yup, because my access on my ubuntu is through a "putty" so i dont have a GUI interface on it...
[02:10] <jolaren> through a putty xDD
[02:10] <blakkheim> "graphical user interface interface"?
[02:10] <wgrant> _ged: Have a look at /etc/timezone
[02:10] <LinUX> shazbotmcnasty, YEEHAA!!! thank you!! I've been trying to find a fix for this for three days!! Thanks!!
[02:10] <blackest_knight1> _ged does it matter really ;/
[02:10] <_ged> sorry for the redundant
[02:11] <shazbotmcnasty> LinUX, no prob
[02:11] <LinUX> shazbotmcnasty, Oh bye the way, it worked :)
[02:11] <_ged> blackest_knight1: im not really sure if it matters, but my friend says that the repository depends on your location...is it true or not?

[02:11] <kyle6513> hey when i boot up my ubuntu installation for some reason i get white rectangles across the screen, almost as though the characters in the boot up have been changed to little rectangles
[02:11] <obiwan_> hi guys, i got now 3 questions, they keep  accumulating
[02:11] <jolaren> _ged; I don't think there's limitations as such.. except for keyboard differences etc but I could be wrong
[02:11] <shazbotmcnasty> kyle6513, sudo apt-get install unifont
[02:12] <shazbotmcnasty> mebbeh
[02:12] <shazbotmcnasty> little rectangles means you don't have the font
[02:12] <shazbotmcnasty> so if you install the font that it's trying to use, then you will see characters again
[02:12] <eaglestar> blakkheim it says only root can do that
[02:12] <eaglestar> i am in live cd
[02:12] <kyle6513> shazbotmcnasty, ah no, the rectangles are coloured in :P and its at the start, when its booting up, after that its fine
[02:12] <blakkheim> eaglestar: ...so do it as root..
[02:12] <Ben64> anyone on karmic -- what version of wget do you have?

[02:13] <Ben64> DaZ: oh, didn't know it could do that, thanks
[02:13] <DaZ> [;
[02:13] <blackest_knight1> _ged well repositories tend to be close to where you say you are but if you choose fastest server it really can be anywhere im in ireland and cz is fastest
[02:13] <AvonGenesis> Does anyone know the name of the app that lets you launch a program by typing the name of it? It was something along the lines of launcher or something.

[02:14] <jolaren> brodeurpc; should be easy with gparted
[02:14] <scunizi> Ookami: an online service like efax, j2.com etc.. or.. you get a fax modem and set up a fax server

[02:14] <blackest_knight1> brodeurpc:  sudo gparted and try swopon

[02:16] <scott_ino2> jolaren, does your name have anything to do with the star trek character Ro Laren?
[02:16] <Ookami> eaglestar, you can use "Bookmark Organizer" from firefox menus and "export" your bookmarks .. back up .. or something ;)
[02:16] <terrorink> its it pluged in ?
[02:17] <scunizi> Ookami: google the web for a free online fax service in your country.. once setup someone else can fax you and the online service will receive the fax then email it to you in either a .tif or pdf format.. some have a special format but you can change it
[02:17] <terrorink> did it go bad
[02:17] <kyle6513> terrorink, no and yes

[02:18] <blackest_knight1> jaza: volume muted ?
[02:19] <scott_ino2> jolaren, really?? yikes what burner are you using
[02:19] <shazbotmcnasty> where 'video' is replaced with the file name
[02:19] <eaglestar> oh there you go
[02:19] <Ookami> ubuntu + recieve fax .. is there a program i should use ?
[02:19] <jolaren> scott_ino2; It's a fancy reader.. I see now I'm burning in 2x so it explains
[02:19] <micromachstick> hey can i use rhythm box to sync my ipod?
[02:20] <blackest_knight1> Ookami: http://www.efax.com/en/intl/product/page/homePage?CMP=OTC-ie try that
[02:20] <brodeurpc> blackest_knight1, says command not found
[02:20] <scunizi> Ookami: this is what I use.. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3718719&CatId=564
[02:20] <shazbotmcnasty> microhaxo, you can't add stuff to your ipod, but you can listen to music on your ipod
[02:20] <Ookami> scunizi, blackest_knight1, thanks guys .. i'll look it up ^^
[02:20] <jolaren> Ookami; Isn't it cheaper to just buy a face machine?
[02:20] <micromachstick> shzbotmcnasty, alrighty other then amarok, songbird, banshee and GTK are there any other media players that i could use to sync it? ive had a lot of difficulty..
[02:20] <jolaren> Ookami; fax*
[02:21] <bazhang> micromachstick, which ipod? some are supported with rhythmbox
[02:21] <shazbotmcnasty> to do that open rhythmbox 'edit>plugins>ipod thingy
[02:21] <scott_ino2> micromachstick, any of those programs should work providing you have the ipod support package
[02:21] <Ookami> jolaren, i would ,, i don't have a "phone line" where i am now ,, and i want to avoid the extra expenses of sending and receiving
[02:21] <Jaza> blackest_knight1: no, i thought of that but no.  Just no sound.  Rhythmbox works fine
[02:21] <micromachstick> bazhang, i have the latest generation of ipod classic and an old nano
[02:21] <blackest_knight1> brodeurpc:  sudo aptitude install gparted
[02:22] <scunizi> Ookami: without a phone line there nothing left but an online fax service..
[02:22] <micromachstick> scott_ino2 i got fed up with amarok, banshee wouldn't play mp3s..Songbird has worked perfectly except when i sync my ipod with it, it'll only play the first 4 seconds of song repeatedly
[02:22] <jolaren> Ookami; like scunizi said.. without a phoneline you need an online fax service
[02:22] <bazhang> micromachstick, this is karmic? I have a nano and a mini that can sync fine, not tried with the latest 'classic' though
[02:22] <Ookami> scunizi, got that ,, but is there a "internet to fax" .. or i just manually print out things ?
[02:23] <jolaren> Ookami; You probarly get them as .pdfs but I don't know
[02:23] <micromachstick> bazhang: yeah it is. as said I can get it to sync with songbird..but it does this odd four-second revert thing
[02:23] <blackest_knight1> OOkami its just email really
[02:23] <scunizi> Ookami: the online service will allow you to generate a document on your computer and email it to a special address that will then "fax" it to the number it's suppose to go to.
[02:23] <scott_ino2> micromachstick, well by default nothing in ubuntu will play mp3s, are you certain you had the nonfree-extras package installed first?
[02:23] <eaglestar> how do i copy files in chroot soutside to external hard drive when i am in chroot it my hdd is not recognized
[02:23] <melik> micromachstick: try using banshee, its a lot nicer than rhythmbox
[02:23] <poningru> can someone recommend a fireplace screensaver to me?
[02:24] <jolaren> poningru; There's a really nice bluray one on tpb
[02:24] <Ookami> thanks guys .. i got it ^^ but ,, what do those "fax programs" do ? ?
[02:24] <poningru> jolaren, tpb?
[02:24] <micromachstick> scott_ino2 yeah I installed the..gneudo or something like that? and it worked perfectly for songbird AND rhyhtmbox...they've both been perfect for everything except the actual syncing
[02:24] <jolaren> poningru; the piratebay
[02:24] <poningru> jolaren, sorry I dont understand
[02:24]  * wowstargate is AFK, Sleeping —I-n-v-i-s-i-o-n—
[02:24] <poningru> why would I download a 'bluray' screensaver from pirate bay?
[02:24] <jolaren> Wow, a linux user who's unaware of the piratebay
[02:24] <bazhang> jolaren, what does the pirate bay have to do with ubuntu software
[02:25] <poningru> seriously
[02:25] <blakkheim> lol
[02:25] <bazhang> jolaren, please keep that out of this channel, thanks
[02:25] <jolaren> Oh, for screensaver useage
[02:25] <Ookami> jolaren, lol .. hold up man ,, i feel ya lol
[02:25] <blackest_knight1> Ookami:  you just pass the email to fax service and they send you an email with a scan of faxes sent to you a bit like a po box
[02:25] <jolaren> bazhang; Keep what out of this channel? Isn't linux all about legal sharing?
[02:25] <Jaza>  blackest_knight1: I tried going to configure, and the playback sound devices won't sound when I press test??
[02:26] <Ookami> blackest_knight1 .. thanks man
[02:26] <bazhang> jolaren, thepiratebay bluray is not legal. please stop.
[02:26] <brodeurpc> blackest_knight1, can i do it through a livecd? it loaded the packages on but still says command not found
[02:26] <jolaren> bazhang; the one I have is, free. You could get it from otherplaces but torrents are more convienient
[02:26] <terrorink> jolaren: the ops are very touchy about any of that stuff u cant even tell jokes with out getting a stern talking to better watch ur step
[02:26] <poningru> !offtopic jolaren
[02:26] <shazbotmcnasty> thepiratebay is meant for legal sharing, but it's abused with videos and music, and other stuff
[02:27] <poningru> !offtopic | jolaren
[02:27] <poningru> anyway ...
[02:27] <blackest_knight1> brodeurpc: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
[02:27] <poningru> where should one look for cool screensavers?
[02:27] <bazhang> poningru, gnome-look.org perhaps
[02:27] <blakkheim> who still uses a screensaver?
[02:27] <jolaren> poningru; I replied to a question. The one going of topic should be the one asking the question. But hey, end of discussion
[02:28] <scott_ino2> uhhh isn't that also offtopic poningru??
[02:28] <blackest_knight1> poningru:  gnomelook
[02:28] <poningru> scott_ino2, it is an ubuntu support question so... no
[02:28] <poningru> blackest_knight1, looked there but no luck
[02:28] <vajorie> poningru: don't install screensavers that come packaged (as deb etc) or if you have to type root password to install it.
[02:29] <poningru> vajorie, yeah I saw that
[02:29] <vajorie> :p
[02:29] <poningru> I guess it goes for all .debs
[02:29] <brodeurpc> blackest_knight1, thank you
[02:29] <scunizi> poningru: you can't install a deb without password
[02:30] <scott_ino2> if you want the fireplace for strictly being able to view it, there's an HD video of a fireplace on youtube
[02:30] <Jaza> can anyone help me out with the sound in amarok??
[02:30] <AvonGenesis> Whats a .apt? Is that the newer version of a .deb package?
[02:30] <scott_ino2> but... if you actually want it as a screensaver then i don't know, best i can do.
[02:30] <eaglestar> ok anyone know how to copy a file in chroot to an external hard drive?
[02:30] <dios_mio> ubuntu is an ancient african word meaning "i dont know how to configure debian"
[02:30] <micromachstick> are there alternatives for ipod updating aside from amarok/songbird/banshee?
[02:31] <scott_ino2> micromachstick, they all use the same package as far as i know
[02:31] <scunizi> micromachstick: you could put rockbox on the ipod :)
[02:31] <saethr> ubuntards
[02:31] <bazhang> dios_mio, did you have a support question? chat in #ubuntu-offtopic , NOT here
[02:31] <blakkheim> dios_mio: almost as ancient as that joke
[02:31] <micromachstick> scott_ino2 that frustrates me to no end lol. i've been at this for two weeks
[02:31] <dios_mio> blakkheim, lol
[02:31] <scunizi> !rockbox | micromachstick
[02:31] <micromachstick> scnizi: rockbox? what's that?
[02:31] <ethan_> where is the software manager in xubuntu?
[02:31] <scunizi> micromachstick: see the link above
[02:31] <ethan_> in ubuntu there is a software center
[02:32] <ethan_> cant find it in xubuntu
[02:32] <scott_ino2> micromachstick, i don't have an ipod as I would help you through it, I just know tons of people use ipods with linux and don't have any issue,I'd first check to make sure your device is actuallys upported
[02:32] <scunizi> ethan_: look for synaptic package manager.. usually in System>Admin
[02:32] <micromachstick> scunizi: thanks! but it doesnt look like it's recent enough to update
[02:32] <poningru> ethan_, you can use synaptic or just use aptitude
[02:32] <poningru> from the command line
[02:32] <ethan_> oh, alright then
[02:32] <blackest_knight1> micromachstick:  i think there was something new for ipod sync out this month but you'll need to google it
[02:32] <ethan_> I am trying to find ubuntu restricted extras for this laptop
[02:32] <micromachstick> scott_ino2: i KNOW it's supported..i can plug it in and it'll aknowledge itself fine..but it won't sync acurately
[02:33] <ethan_> I tried sudo apt-get ubuntu restricted extras
[02:33] <ethan_> it didnt work
[02:33] <blakkheim> ethan_: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:33] <ethan_> duh
[02:33] <bazhang> ethan_, would be xubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:33] <drunkpunk> anybody help me recover dual display control after I accidentallly scroodled my X11 xconf?
[02:33] <blackest_knight1> micromachstick:  only music can be synced
[02:33] <ethan_> lol sorry, I didnt type install
[02:33] <ethan_> lol
[02:33] <micromachstick> blackest_knight1: I noticed there was a new update for it recently..but as mentioned i dont have any trouble with getting a mount for it which seems to be the main issue people have
[02:33] <blakkheim> bazhang: is there a difference?
[02:33] <micromachstick> blackest_knight1 yeah that's all that im syncing.
[02:33] <scott_ino2> micromachstick, ahh i see...
[02:33] <ethan_> thanks, i appreciate it.  I didnt type to install lol.  Im an idiot
[02:33] <bazhang> blakkheim, not certain, but that is the package
[02:34] <ethan_> brb
[02:34] <blackest_knight1> micromachstick:  i dn't have an ipod so i've not done anything with it
[02:34] <blakkheim> bazhang: i doubt there is anything specific to xfce in that package
[02:34] <drunkpunk> failed to backup xconf file and would like to get control of dual displays once again any help much appreciated
[02:35] <micromachstick> blackest_knight1 yeah it seems like most people with linux prefer alternatives to Ipod...mine was a gift so there wasnt much to be done about it. It's extremely frustrating however
[02:35] <scott_ino2> micromachstick, honestly I'd try and get one of the guys on the libgtkpod mailing list or something, i know it sucks, again sorry, but i know many many people have gotten it working without issue so you should be able to.
[02:35] <blackest_knight1> drunkpunk: gnome-display-properties
[02:36] <turtle_> whats the deal with the evolution client being a bit buggy?
[02:36] <drunkpunk> blackest_knight1: nothin doin in there, just 1 screen showing
[02:36] <scunizi> turtle_: in what way
[02:36] <turtle_> it freezes every once in a while
[02:36] <xim_> what does it mean when my xwindows freezes solid (even the system clock) for excatly 13 seconds every few minutes while watching a movie in any program?
[02:36] <drunkpunk> blackest_knight1: and ati control centre dont work no mo neither
[02:36] <micromachstick> scott_ino2 i guess i can try contacting them..  i wish it wasn't so complex! lots of struggling..
[02:37] <blackest_knight1> drunkpunk:  sorry that was all i had
[02:37] <drunkpunk> blackest_knight1: np cheers for the input
[02:37] <scunizi> turtle_: hummm.. use to do that for me occationally .. I had to kill the evolution data server to get it going again.. It's done that for a long time.. since 6.06
[02:38] <scunizi> turtle_: it also seems to be dependant on machine, setup, etc. etc. It's been some time since I've had issues.. but I'm running 8.04 & 8.10

[02:41] <drunkpunk> scunizi: yup
[02:41] <anonymous_3> Im running Ubuntu 9.10

[02:42] <krishn1> how to uninstall them

[02:45] <bazhang> !ot | mine
[02:45] <scunizi> drunkpunk: the original xorg really didn't have much in it.. have you looked in /etc/X11 for a system created backup?  there's usually one there.

[02:48] <krishn1> I logged into the machine using ssh
[02:48] <blackest_knight1> krishn1: apt-get remove package name
[02:49] <krishn1> blackest_knight1: ok ,will try that ,thx a lot :)
[02:49] <matts> anyone willing to help me out with my wireless setup?
[02:49] <Belinrahs> krishn1: for example apt-get remove wine would remove WINE
[02:49] <kyle6513> how do i set my ubuntu installation to run in noapic mode?
[02:49] <Belinrahs> you don't put package first.
[02:50] <blackest_knight1> matts:  what chipset ?
[02:50] <kingmanor> how do i get a Terminal in ubuntu netbook remix?

[02:53] <Jaza>  I'm having some issues with amarok, i have a song playing but there is no sound? I tried going to configure, and the playback sound devices won't sound when I press test??
[02:53] <M4d3L> hi. how I can know if I use a 64bit distro or 32bit?
[02:54] <KitsuneDrag0n> M4d3l Gnome KDE?
[02:55] <M4d3L> gnome
[02:55] <M4d3L> via ssh
[02:55] <KitsuneDrag0n> Jaza: sound card problem? what soundcard you might want to google if there are problems
[02:55] <bazhang> M4d3L, uname -m in terminal
[02:55] <KitsuneDrag0n> M4d3l oh SSH sorry
[02:55] <M4d3L> i686?
[02:55] <bazhang> 32bit
[02:56] <KitsuneDrag0n> 64 bit= AMD64 right?
[02:56] <kyle6513> can anyone help me with getting my ubuntu installation to boot into noapic mode?
[02:56] <Jaza> I don't think is the sound card, I can listen to music streams on the net and can use other apps
[02:56] <KitsuneDrag0n> Jaza: oh....
[02:57] <KitsuneDrag0n> Jaza: can you check if amarok is configured correctly to use your sound output device its somewhere in options
[02:57] <kyle6513> how do i boot into noapic mode?
[02:57] <scunizi> kyle6513: I can't give you a step by step but you'll have to edit the grub menu kernel line by adding noapic or apic=off or something similar
[02:57] <blakkheim> it's acpi, not apic
[02:57] <kyle6513> scunizi, what file do i have to edit there?
[02:57] <scunizi> kyle6513: or .. are you just trying to get the live cd to boot?
[02:58] <scunizi> !grub2 | kyle6513
[02:58] <KitsuneDrag0n> noapic! | KitsuneDrag0n
[02:58] <kyle6513> scunizi, i've been told that this will make my network card work, and yes i know where the files are, but file should i edit exactly?
[02:58] <Jaza> KitsuneDrag0n: I tried that and there are 3 sound devices there and when i hit the test button none of them work
[02:59] <KitsuneDrag0n> Jaza: hmmm
[02:59] <kyle6513> scunizi, what file should i add that to exactly*
[02:59] <Jaza> I honestly don't know what sound card I have, I always let windows figure it out!
[03:00] <BalSak> hi guys. having difficulty configuring a multiseat config. is there some tool (GUI or CLI) that can assist in the numerous xorg config option?
[03:00]  * kyle6513 misses grub 1
[03:00] <scunizi> kyle6513: like I said.. I can't give you a step by step.. I'm on an older system that doesn't edit the same way.. and I'm not use to the new grub2.. so in the old sys. it was the menu.list file in /boot/grub but that isn't true anymore..
[03:01] <agusj> anyone knows what version of ubuntu that use kernel 2.18 or 2.20 ?
[03:01] <kyle6513> scunizi, alright, thanks anyway

[03:02] <BunnyFooFoo> The command: (sed '1d' .file > .file) leaves me with an empty file, not a file with only the first line removed. anyone know why?

[03:08] <aliksy> I am having trouble burning .ogg as an audio disk with gnome baker. it's telling me i dont have the plugin necessary. what package is that?
[03:09] <scunizi> aliksy: you might want to give k3b a try.
[03:10] <blakkheim> scunizi: that pulls in a lot of kde crap
[03:10] <aliksy> k3b being another program for burning?
[03:11] <localg0d> I am using 9.04 64bit and cannot get sound without using the kernel that came with the disc , would someone know what is the cause of this issue or have a link to a thread for this issues ? please ?
[03:11] <fuzzy_> heya.
[03:11] <scunizi> blakkheim: some.. but it's almost the defacto standard other burners try to live up to

[03:13] <fuzzy_> no, just making the usb act as a CD, as im on a netbook without a cd-rom and only running ubuntu atm
[03:13] <localg0d> blackest_knight1:  that does not solve the issue .. this seems to be some sort of bug or sound card setting hang ... and i cannot figure out the issue via cli
[03:13] <firefitrwife> fuzzy, you need to use a program to make it bootable
[03:13] <blackest_knight1> fuzzy unetbootin will set you up
[03:14] <st__> where can I get some a;ternative kernels for Ubuntu 9.10?
[03:14] <fuzzy_> blackest_knight1, didnt think unetbootin worked for xp isos
[03:14] <blakkheim> st__: kernel.org
[03:14] <scunizi> !install | fuzzy_ this should show you some options
[03:14] <kyle6513> scunizi, ty
[03:14] <scunizi> kyle6513: np
[03:14] <firefitrwife> there's another program fuzzy i forgot the name i have it on my desktop
[03:15] <firefitrwife> works well and isnt limited on the isos
[03:15] <fuzzy_> scunizi, im not having trouble installing ubuntu
[03:15] <RandomizeR> my graphics display is killing me!! can anyone help me please?
[03:15] <firefitrwife> but unetbootin can still work with xp i believe, as long as you have the iso downloaded
[03:15] <firefitrwife> should be the second option once you start it
[03:15] <RandomizeR> i have nVidia 9600 and ViewSonic VA712 LCD, but for some reason i don't have the right resolutions
[03:15] <Maletor> Help, I have Ubuntu 9.10 and EVGA 9800GTX+ connected to my Vizio 37" but it looks like about 20-30 pixels is cut off (i.e. the task bar is unviewable) what can I do to fix this "resolution" problem? Updating drivers to manufacturers drivers is not helping...
[03:15] <fuzzy_> yeah, i selected iso and found the iso on the drive
[03:15] <st__> are you laughing at me? kernel.org is the sources archive, ffs i would need it?
[03:16] <scunizi> fuzzy_: I know but you're wanting to install off a usb key right?
[03:16] <blackest_knight1> localg0d:  ubuntu mutes audio by default on installing new kernel
[03:16] <Maletor> RandomizeR, do you have a similar problem to me?
[03:16] <fuzzy_> firefitrwife, thanks anyways, im gonna try and see how it works =)
[03:16] <aliksy> k3b seems to work
[03:16] <aliksy> thanks, name-that-scrolled-off who suggested it
[03:16] <fuzzy_> scunizi, yes, a XP iso on a usb stick
[03:16] <RandomizeR> best i could get is 1024x768, but monitor works with 1280x1024
[03:16] <firefitrwife> i'll see if i can find the other one for you
[03:16] <sqp> hello, i'm looking for support for jaunty studio x86  can't get my pro/wireless agn 5100 card to work. says the radio killswitch is on when i know it isn't
[03:16] <RandomizeR> Maletor, no, actually, everything is viewable but max resolution is 1024x768
[03:16] <scunizi> fuzzy_: oh.. on it's own partition? or in a vm?
[03:16] <localg0d> blackest_knight1: i don't have it muted .. but is there some where i should check other than volume control ?
[03:17] <firefitrwife> ah fuzzy, take the ISO off of it before you make it bootable
[03:17] <^Ocean^> can dd be used to write a norton ghost image to a disk ?
[03:17] <fuzzy_> scunizi, a physical usb stick =) to do a "cd-rom replace"
[03:17] <blackest_knight1> localg0d:  tried alsamixer in a terminal ?
[03:17] <st__> where can I get some a;ternative kernels for Ubuntu 9.10?
[03:17] <RandomizeR> for me it seems the problem is something with the EDID
[03:17] <blakkheim> st__: compile your own
[03:17] <scunizi> fuzzy_: looks like firefitrwife has got you going in the right direction. good luck
[03:17] <fuzzy_> firefitrwife, what do you mean?
[03:18] <RandomizeR> could it be because my nvidia outputs HDMI and the LCD is analog connected with adapter?
[03:18] <tanase_> ciao a tutti
[03:18] <fuzzy_> thanks anyway scunizi =)
[03:18] <sqp> anyone?
[03:18] <RandomizeR> help anyone?
[03:18] <firefitrwife> unet needs to find the iso off your HD not the usb stick
[03:18] <st__> why the hell i should compile it myself?! id ont have corresponding resources
[03:18] <firefitrwife> move it off there first, then have unet find it
[03:19] <blakkheim> st__: why do you want an alterative kernel?
[03:19] <st__> because the current kernel is 90MB monster
[03:19] <fuzzy_> yeah, i got the iso on my hdd, not on the usb =)
[03:19] <blakkheim> st__: then.. like i said, compile your own. use only what you need for your hardware and it will be much smaller.
[03:20] <firefitrwife> oh i though you said it was on the usb, my bad
[03:20] <xrandr> can Pulse Audio be removed without breaking ubuntu?
[03:20] <st__> blakkheim: and how am I supposed to update it then?
[03:21] <blakkheim> xrandr: yes
[03:21] <Maletor> anyone?
[03:21] <blakkheim> st__: that's up to you
[03:21] <xrandr> blakkheim: is there a guide to do this? or just use Synaptic?
[03:21] <blakkheim> xrandr: just remove the pulseaudio stuff, you can use synaptic if you need it
[03:21] <fuzzy_> second issue. is it possible to use a virtual machine (virtualbox) or similar, to exactly clone my computer to be used in a virtual enviroment?
[03:22] <fuzzy_> my netbook has compablility issues in moblin, ubuntu moblin remix and ubuntu netbook remix
[03:22] <xrandr> blakkheim: using synaptic it wants to remove ubuntu desktop
[03:22] <blakkheim> xrandr: and?
[03:22] <fuzzy_> so i was hoping to set up a virtual enviroment that is a mirror off my netbook, so i can troubleshoot within a working ubuntu 9.04
[03:22] <xrandr> blakkheim: then i lose the desktop, don't i?
[03:23] <Purpley> im trying to encrypt my whole HDD using truecrypt but It isn't showing the option to encrypt a system partition how do I go about doing this?
[03:23] <blakkheim> xrandr: no
[03:23] <scunizi> fuzzy_: vmware has a program that will create a vm file of an existing install of windows.. it can then be used in vmware or imported into virtualbox.. however once installed in the vm it will need to be activated with MS and the other stand a lone install will no longer work because it won't be "validated"
[03:23] <firefitrwife> fuzzy i havent tried unr on my netbook, i just run regular ubuntu on it
[03:23] <dsdeiz> ssh client by default is installed right?
[03:23] <blakkheim> dsdeiz: should be
[03:24] <dsdeiz> got it thanks..
[03:24] <scunizi> fuzzy_: if you want to clone the install so you can put it back later.. use clonezilla, partimage to do that
[03:24] <Purpley> im trying to encrypt my whole HDD using truecrypt but It isn't showing the option to encrypt a system partition how do I go about doing this?
[03:25] <fuzzy_> scunizi, i think youre misunderstanding. =)
[03:25] <fuzzy_> im having trouble with 3 netbook distros. (linux)
[03:25] <scunizi> fuzzy_: k.. where do I have it wrong?
[03:26] <scunizi> fuzzy_: what does your netbook run? windows. linux?
[03:26] <fuzzy_> and instead of running live cd's and installing and rebooting all the time to switch OS, i want to use my working ubuntu 9.04. then with the use of a virtual enviroment "clone" my hardware
[03:26] <fuzzy_> im running ubuntu 9.04 now
[03:27] <fuzzy_> because its my wifi card that is giving me the biggest headache.
[03:27] <firefitrwife> i'm running 9.1 on my netbbok. No hardware issues. picked up wifi no problem
[03:27] <Purpley> Does anyone know good secure encryption software for ubuntu? I can't use Truecrypt as it wont work
[03:27] <fuzzy_> for some reason, my wifi is fully working in UBNBR 9.10, but not in ubuntu moblin remix
[03:27] <scunizi> fuzzy_: well.. with a vm you can't clone your hardware.. just your software. the VM utilizes it's own "hardware emulation" of various types.
[03:28] <fuzzy_> scunizi, oh, thats a bummer
[03:28] <firefitrwife> have you tried running a non "netbook" spun version?
[03:28] <fuzzy_> yes, im running ubuntu 9.04 desktop now
[03:28] <fuzzy_> works awesome
[03:29] <fuzzy_> but the netbook editions are updated and optimized for netbook chipsets etc.
[03:29] <abel408> Hey everyone. I'm trying to connect to my ubuntu machine in windows using the host name. I can connect and view shared folders if I use the assigned ip address, but not the host name.
[03:29] <fuzzy_> so i want  to use any of the netbook releases
[03:29] <blakkheim> optimized in what way?
[03:29] <scunizi> fuzzy_: kubuntu has a netbook version I just read about the other day. you might look for and try that
[03:30] <firefitrwife> blakk, i think it optomizes the screen space, not sure
[03:30] <vajorie> blakkheim: for a netbook's smaller screen (not really "optimized" but anyway)
[03:30] <firefitrwife> and some other aspects
[03:30] <fuzzy_> blakkheim, as far as i know, its optimized for the atom processor, and its speedstep automatic overclocking
[03:30] <firefitrwife> but i've heard a number of people just go back to desktop versions for their netbooks and are happier
[03:30] <fuzzy_> powersaving etc
[03:30] <blakkheim> fuzzy_: let me  ask you this: does it use different repos than regular ubuntu?
[03:31] <EastDallas> abel408: add the computer names to /etc/hosts
[03:31] <vajorie> blakkheim: same repos
[03:31] <blakkheim> fuzzy_: then it is just the same i386, generic, UNoptimized binaries
[03:31] <vajorie> blakkheim: maybe different kernel, not sure
[03:31] <Snausages> blakkheim: the most noticeable thing is that it is set up to run all apps fullscreen
[03:31] <Snausages> no floating windows
[03:31] <vajorie> maximus yay...
[03:31] <fuzzy_> well maybe ubuntu, but not moblin
[03:31] <blakkheim> netbook "remixes" aren't going to run the same apps any faster at all
[03:32] <fuzzy_> from moblin.org : on building a Linux-based platform optimized for the next generation of mobile devices including Netbooks, Mobile Internet Devices
[03:32] <vajorie> blakkheim: it's possible that theur out of the box settings may be different, their kernels may be different (smaller and optimized for atom et al), fonts fixed, window sizes fixed etc
[03:32] <Snausages> blakkheim: nope..  they're just tuning the windowing behavior, app switcher & desktop launcher for a smaller screen.  Did a bloody good job of it in ubuntu netbook remix, I might add....
[03:33] <fuzzy_> then.. i found Ubuntu moblin remix. which is built on ubuntu, with the GUI from moblin
[03:33] <blakkheim> vajorie: all possible. i was just saying that thinking the binaries in a netbook version are any different is wrong.
[03:34] <blakkheim> if you want things optimized for your processor, you're going to want to look into something like gentoo
[03:34] <firefitrwife> blakkheim, another thing with the netbook remixes are simplified "desktops"
[03:34] <EastDallas> abel408: just follow the conventions used in the file.  If you have a computer named ubuntudesktop, add '192.168.2.10   ubuntudesktop'  to your other machine's hosts file.
[03:34] <firefitrwife> not my thing, but people trying to veer away from MS that havent used linux before like them becuse of their accessability
[03:34] <fuzzy_> blakkheim its said that the driver support is the same in ubuntu 9.10 and netbook remix 9.10\
[03:35] <fuzzy_> which is great. but there is some (known) issues with msi wind u100 and ubuntu 9.10
[03:35] <blakkheim> firefitrwife: i agree, i like a regular desktop on my netbook (openbox or awesome)
[03:35] <firefitrwife> i'm not gonna lie, it was a good idea on their part for the masses looking for a free alternative
[03:36] <EastDallas> abel408:  Did you get any of what I said?
[03:36] <Callum__> WHOOOO, my new phone's mobile broadband feature works out of the box under Ubuntu =D
[03:36] <fujimitsu> issue: i can only boot up via recovery mode, drop to a shell and login, then do a sudo gdm start which takes me to regular graphical login screen, after i login (again) then system works as normal.
[03:36] <fuzzy_> blakkheim, heres the catch. my wifi works flawless in ubuntu netbook remix, but my brightness flickers. in ubuntu moblin remix, my screen doesnt flicker, but my wifi doesnt work
[03:36] <jsoft> Who needs a script or something written. Im bored
[03:37] <blakkheim> fuzzy_: and what about regular ubuntu?
[03:37] <fuzzy_> ubuntu moblin remix finds my wifi card, finds wifi networks, but cant connect to them
[03:37] <firefitrwife> but back to the matter at hand... i don't think UNR has beter battery life from what i've heard. and i don't think theres a huge difference in the footprint
[03:37] <fuzzy_> blakkheim, same with regular 9.10
[03:37] <abel408> EastDallas: Yes thank you. But I need a way to resolve the host name even when the ip changes
[03:37] <jsoft> abel408: whats the problem?
[03:38] <scunizi> abel408: from outside your lan?
[03:38] <firefitrwife> fuzzy what does it tell you?
[03:38] <unity24> hello!could anyone please help me?got a malicious code on my hdd on sector 0.how may I vipe out completely?
[03:38] <EastDallas> abel408, unfortunately, WINS doesn't really work that well unless you assign a static IP, so it's about the same either way.
[03:38] <fuzzy_> firefitrwife, it just says "connection failed"
[03:38] <High> Hi, I haven’t been able to successfully get my wired Ethernet connection to be detected. I’ve Installed Ubuntu 9.1 on a Thinkpad T42 2378-FZU.
[03:38] <blakkheim> unity24: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda
[03:38] <ziroday> unity24: how did you get this code?
[03:38] <jsoft> High: what does ifconfig -a say?
[03:39] <jsoft> Is there an eth0 ?
[03:39] <EastDallas> jsoft: he's trying to resolve host names for samba
[03:39] <ImJJames> has anyone here used opensuse 11.1?
[03:39] <jsoft> EastDallas: oh.
[03:39] <jsoft> EastDallas: I find samba related things a mission
[03:39] <firefitrwife> hmm i'm not sure 9.1 never gave me issues with that. is it secured?
[03:39] <scunizi> ImJJames: probably.. but this isn't the place for questions on it
[03:40] <fuzzy_> firefitrwife, yes, tried both secured and unsecured
[03:40] <abel408> jsoft: I'm trying to connect to my shared directories on my ubuntu machine from windows machines using it's dns name rather than ip address. The reason being is because this ubuntu machine will be going on another family network and I want to tell the to connect to \\media rather than figuring out what subnet their network is on and telling them to connect to \\192.168.1.13
[03:40] <ImJJames> no j/w
[03:40] <ImJJames> planning to switch to it
[03:40] <ImJJames> using xubunut atm
[03:40] <unity24> well,I erased all of my hdd.possibly it is a rootkit.everybody laughs on me,if tell my story,that have a hacker attack via wifi.
[03:40] <EastDallas> jsoft: It's been my experience that WINS support is spotty at best with dynamic IPs, so I just assign a static IP and add it to /etc/hosts.
[03:40] <ImJJames> maybe that will fix my screen flickering
[03:40] <ImJJames> lol
[03:40] <firefitrwife> sorry dog knocked out the powercord to my router
[03:40] <jsoft> abel408: cant help sorry :|
[03:40] <fuzzy_> firefitrwife, yes, tried both secured and unsecured
[03:40] <ImJJames> what is the major differnce from opensuse and xubuntu?
[03:41] <sqp> hello, i'm looking for support for jaunty studio x86  can't get my pro/wireless agn 5100 card to work. says the radio killswitch is on when i know it isn't
[03:41] <scunizi> ImJJames: the flicker is most likely because of your video driver or refresh rate on your monitor
[03:41] <corinth> I really want to use pcman as my default file manager. Any way to do this?
[03:41] <jsoft> sqp: Doh :| Well mine works, what laptop is it>
[03:42] <firefitrwife> sorry fuzzy
[03:42] <agusj> can ubuntu 7.04 be installed on sata? help me please
[03:42] <unity24> i goin to boot with damn small linux and try that.thank you so much!
[03:42] <jsoft> agusj: I dont see why not
[03:42] <EastDallas> abel408:  You can add the line wins support = yes to your /etc/samba/smb.conf and see if that works
[03:42] <blakkheim> agusj: why such an old version
[03:42] <ImJJames> i know.. its just that it only gives me one refresh rate option which is 60mhz
[03:42] <agusj> I want to use kernel 2.6.18
[03:43] <IdleOne> agusj: 7.04 is !eol

[03:43] <agusj> I got problem install on new sata drive
[03:43] <agusj> live cd cannot work
[03:44] <EastDallas> abel408:  It might be a little sporadic if you're using a dynamic IP.  You'll also want to add the line 'wins server = the ip address of the machine with wins support = yes' to any other linux machines on the network.

[03:46] <abel408> EastDallas: Ok, Thanks!

[04:09] <sync3times> Maletor, is your 1tb in a volume group?
[04:09] <Maletor> how would i find that out?
[04:09] <oldtopman> back
[04:10] <IdleOne> sqp: I am not sure but uninstall network-manager then logout and back in. wicd should kick in and hopefully see your wifi
[04:10] <roger21> i meant brightness
[04:10] <SaBot> I downloaded the alternative cd for ubuntu karmic, but I cant seem to find the option for a command line install?

[04:12] <IdleOne> |StOnE|: no problem
[04:12] <magcius> What normally adds "/usr/include/linux" to the GCC include path?
[04:13] <magcius> It's not being added on my system, hence it fails when trying to compile ANYTHING.
[04:13] <Maletor> ctmjr, i use amd64, should i just select "linux 64"?
[04:13] <Zeppelin> Hi. When I try to go fullscreen with RuneScape
[04:13] <digitalaxis> Guys
[04:13] <digitalaxis> when i go to http://ftp.4players.de/pub/hosted/ts3/releases/beta-5/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.0-beta5.run

[04:13] <digitalaxis> I dont get anything when i go to http://ftp.4players.de/pub/hosted/ts3/releases/beta-5/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.0-beta5.run, is there any other way to get it?
[04:13] <SaBot> For installing the command line interface for ubuntu, you just use the alternative cd and hit F4 and select minimal install, but when I try this I see nothing aside from 'normal' in F4
[04:13] <ctmjr> Maletor: yes
[04:13] <ubuntu> help
[04:13] <SaBot> oh wait
[04:13] <SaBot> nvm, sorry
[04:14] <ubuntu> #computers
[04:14] <roger21> hi, how do i adjust the dbl click delay ?
[04:14] <RealKillaz> Hi there guys
[04:14] <ctmjr> Maletor: are you on karmic?
[04:14] <Maletor> 9.10
[04:14] <RealKillaz> I have a question regarding synchronization of disk
[04:14] <IdleOne> roger21: System > Prefs > Mouse
[04:14] <sqp> ok, cool. wicd is running, however i can't test if the wifi works until i get somewhere with wifi.
[04:14] <|StOnE|> help with the program XMMS2
[04:14] <IdleOne> sqp: lol
[04:15] <RealKillaz> I would like to install an application that when I add a USB disk for example will synch this disk with a folder on my pc
[04:15] <sqp> i'm at home with an xp on dialup
[04:15] <roger21> IdleOne, yep ... is there a file i can modify instead, i don't have the standard ubuntu ui (fluxbuntu) ?
[04:15] <RealKillaz> Do you have any idea which applications do this?
[04:15] <|StOnE|> I want to use XMMS2 for the same work you do in shoutcast winamp, but I have to configure XMMS2 to be heard in showcast and people can hear
[04:15] <ubuntu> hey everybody
[04:15] <|StOnE|> but not understand this line XMMS2 config core.ipcsocket tcp: / / 192.168.2.20 < port>
[04:15] <ubuntu> n00b here
[04:15] <IdleOne> roger21: try asking in #fluxbuntu
[04:15] <|StOnE|> I change the port and the correct ip but not if the line where it says core.ipcsocket stays the same or should I change something?
[04:15] <ubuntu> how do I switch to another channel
[04:16] <roger21> IdleOne, yep .. thanx
[04:16] <ubuntu> I'm looking for a channel about XNA programming
[04:16] <ctmjr> Maletor: it might be in there already am not sure open nvidia-settings and click on your monitor you are having problems with
[04:16] <IdleOne> roger21: sorry don't know what file you would edit for that
[04:16] <roger21> IdleOne, ok no prob
[04:17] <MashaIvanova> hi guys, quick questin, how do I install apache on my ubuntu server?  Thx ahead of itim
[04:17] <IdleOne> !lamp | MashaIvanova
[04:18] <ubuntu> you can install LAMP
[04:18] <eric_3> it works! good bye!
[04:18] <MashaIvanova> how do I install lamp?.....sorry newb
[04:18] <bazhang> MashaIvanova, read the link ?
[04:18] <IdleOne> MashaIvanova: follow the above link ubottu just gave you
[04:18] <Maletor> 9800 is 9 series ?
[04:18] <Maletor> nvm
[04:18] <Maletor> what do i do with a .run file? terminal won't "run" it :)
[04:18] <_Techie_> i need help, ubuntu takes ages to recognise my mouse and i cant find my spare mouse so i am in need of a fix
[04:18] <xTheGoat121x> Anyone else in here use Pidgin instead of Empathy? If so, I have a question for you.
[04:19] <MashaIvanova> IdleOne, oh didnt see it thank you I will read it
[04:19] <unop> Maletor, how are you running it in the terminal?
[04:19] <IdleOne> no problem
[04:19] <ubuntu> I think its apt-get install lamp-server^
[04:19] <ubuntu> the caret symbol at the end is important
[04:19] <|StOnE|> use the synaptic :)
[04:19] <ubuntu> oh ye that too :)
[04:20] <Maletor> sudo 'path/to/file.run'
[04:20] <Maletor> the nvidia x server settings mention nothing of a underscan
[04:20] <Maletor> which is my problem
[04:20] <Maletor> but they do so my driver version is 185.18.36
[04:20] <FloodBot2> Maletor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:20] <digitalaxis> Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem? http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/ii452/Gransus/Screenshot-3.png
[04:20] <IdleOne> Maletor: please stop using the enter key as punctuation :)
[04:21] <ubuntu> hey how do I join another channel- it's been so long that Ive ben on irc that I've forgotten
[04:21] <blakkheim> ubuntu: /j #channel
[04:21] <Maletor> will do everyone :)
[04:21] <ubuntu> ok thanks blakkheim
[04:21] <matts> can someone tell me why wifi radar is still requiring ip adress
[04:21] <apn> digitalaxis, it's a script
[04:21] <unop> Maletor, and does the command return an error?
[04:22] <matts> its been doing it for awhile
[04:22] <digitalaxis> apn: So what do i run it with?
[04:23] <apn> digitalaxis, many ways. the way nr. 1. open the terminal where the file is, and run "sh nameofthefile.run"
[04:23] <Maletor> returns command not found
[04:23] <Maletor> first it was permission denied then i ran sudo and it says /path/to/file: command not found
[04:24] <_Techie_> how to fix the bug in karmic where USB devices dont always start at boot?
[04:24] <IdleOne> Maletor: replace /path/to/file with the actual path
[04:24] <unop> Maletor,  chmod +x path/to/file.run; sudo path/to/file.run
[04:24] <digitalaxis> so type "run digitalaxis/teamspeak3-client-linux-x86-3.0.0-beta1.run"
[04:24] <apn> digilink, yes
[04:24] <sqp> thanks for the help. l8r
[04:25] <apn> digilink, unless you are in the same directory as *run file, then type sh teamspeak3-client-linux-x86-3.0.0-beta1.run
[04:25] <Belinrahs> !u | Belinrahs
[04:25] <unop> apn, digilink - be sure this .run file is a shell script first eh.
[04:25] <apn> unop, it is
[04:25] <ctmjr> Maletor: this is what you need read it all before proceeding 1. press alt+ctrl+f1 .2 run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop 3. sudo sh ./the file name of the driver.run 4. answer yes to everything 5. when it is done reboot
[04:26] <ubuntu> hello
[04:26] <skitzo> ok guys just installed a new program and to run it u have to run the script which opens a dialog asking how u would like to run it... (which is in terminal) which i select then the program opens and everything works fine, now.. my question is how do u make it automatically choose terminal when it opens to run, and how can you do so without having to see the terminal window? thanks in advanced :)

[04:28] <Belinrahs> lb36t: go to System > Settings > Display
[04:28] <Belinrahs> System > Preferences > Display rather.
[04:29] <digitalaxis> apn: it says "sh: cant open home/digitalaxis/etc
[04:29] <Belinrahs> lb36t: You should be able to change resolution there without messing with your Xorg.conf file
[04:29] <lb36t> Belinrahs:  ok im there
[04:29] <apn> digilink, "chmod +x ~/Desktop/teamspeak3-client-linux-x86-3.0.0-beta1.run"

[04:30] <Belinrahs> lb36t: do you know what type of video card you have? ATI/NVIDIA/other?
[04:30] <_Techie_> some of my USB devoces arent being detected at boot
[04:30] <lb36t> Belinrahs: i think its intel on board (im using a laptop)
[04:31] <apn> _Techie_, not being detected, as dmesg, lspci, lsusb is not saying anything about them?
[04:31] <ImJJames> okay found out the problem
[04:31] <Belinrahs> lb36t: Hold for a sec. I'm investigating
[04:31] <ImJJames> xubuntu installed wrong graphic card drivers
[04:31] <lb36t> Belinrahs: Thank you
[04:31] <ImJJames> how do I change it
[04:31] <ImJJames> i downloaded the drivers thats needed
[04:31] <michaelhoward78> hi. is there a low battery alarm for ubuntu? i have a laptop that id like to know when the power cable is unpluged. i did a google with no real results.
[04:32] <ImJJames> and extracted contents to folder
[04:32] <Maletor> Son of a ...... it's still showing an underscan
[04:32] <_Techie_> apn, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m599c5c7f before and after it detects, usualy detects after 10 mins to half an hour
[04:32] <Maletor> but NVIDIA X Server Settings says driver version is 190.53
[04:32] <ctmjr> Maletor: did you reboot
[04:32] <Maletor> yes
[04:32] <digitalaxis> apn: Still wont work, there any programs i can run it with?
[04:33] <apn> digitalaxis, no. what does it say?
[04:33] <Belinrahs> !resolution | lb36t
[04:33] <sleepy_cat> I wanted to backup my home folder.. and install u9.10.. but when i copy.. it does not copy it does not copy everything.. how can i copy the entire home folder to another location over the server
[04:33] <Belinrahs> lb36t: try the link there, has some good info
[04:33] <digitalaxis> apn: cannot access '/home/digitalaxis/desktop/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_x86-3.0.0-beta5.run' :No such file or directory
[04:33] <vajorie> sleepy_cat: look up rsync
[04:33] <friendishan> what is the command in ubuntu for ipconfig ?
[04:33] <ctmjr> Maletor: ok on the nvidia settings main window on the left there is a white window on the bottom it has your monitors is the tv there?
[04:33] <lb36t> Belinrahs: ok let me try that and get back to you, thanks!
[04:33] <michaelhoward78> sleepy_cat you can use netcat.
[04:34] <_Techie_> friendishan, ifconfig
[04:34] <Belinrahs> lb36t: no problem
[04:34] <kindofabuzz> ifconfig or iwconfig
[04:34] <vajorie> sleepy_cat: usually rsync -av /source /destination
[04:34] <Maletor> yes
[04:34] <friendishan> _techie_ i will try
[04:34] <Maletor> i went to GPU 0
[04:34] <Maletor> and set overscan compensation to 100
[04:34] <skitzo> :(
[04:34] <Maletor> and everything seems to be ok
[04:34] <Maletor> is this the right thing to do?
[04:34] <ctmjr> Maletor: right click it once
[04:34] <apn> digitalaxis, Desktop, not desktop
[04:35] <sleepy_cat> vajorie: how does rsync work.. i mean now i am running a live session can i tranfer the entire home folder onto a location over ssh?
[04:35] <michaelhoward78> sleepy_cay that would be scp
[04:35] <ctmjr> Maletor: when you move the slider does the window get bigger?
[04:35] <digitalaxis> apn: still doesnt work
[04:36] <Maletor> ctmjr, yes it expands so everything is in view
[04:36] <apn> digitalaxis, what's the error?
[04:36] <Maletor> i couldn't find the TV to right click
[04:36] <vajorie> sleepy_cat: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=238672
[04:36] <digitalaxis> apn: Same
[04:36] <michaelhoward78> hi. is there a low battery alarm for ubuntu? i have a laptop that id like to know when the power cable is unpluged. i did a google with no real results.
[04:37] <Purpley> Yes
[04:37] <Purpley> There is, its a little text box in the corner of your screen
[04:37] <ctmjr> Maletor: how many monitors do you have connected and how many are on the list?
[04:37] <lb36t> Belinrahs: just tried the xrandr command in terminal and it tells me it cant find the output
[04:37] <Belinrahs> michaelhoward78: System > Preferences > Power Management > General tab
[04:37] <Purpley> I belive it tells you at 10% or 15%
[04:37] <Maletor> i just have the vizio 37" and it says just X Screen 0
[04:37] <michaelhoward78> sorry, i ment an audiable alarm.
[04:37] <lb36t> Belinrahs: I tried xrandr --addmode S-video 1024x768
[04:37] <Purpley> No not my default
[04:38] <Purpley> not by*
[04:38] <Maletor> setting overscan compensation to 100 and image sharpening to 127 seems to be a temp. fix...
[04:38] <lb36t> Belinrahs: any ideas?
[04:38] <Belinrahs> lb36t: because you aren't using S-video. you have to change it to be appropriate to your setup, most likely VGA instead of S-video
[04:38] <Purpley> Dangit Ubuntu upgrade is takin forever lol 1587 more files to download :(
[04:38] <lb36t> Belinrahs: i tried that too
[04:38] <Belinrahs> lb36t: try xrandr --addmode VGA 1024x768
[04:38] <ctmjr> Maletor: not a temp fix that is the fix
[04:38] <Belinrahs> lb36t: ok
[04:39] <Maletor> ctmjr, that is a strange fix... why won't it work out of box correctly?
[04:39] <sleepy_cat> michaelhoward78: i tried with sudo scp sleepycat@myipaddress:/home/sleepycat otherhost@hisipaddress:/home/name/mybackupfolder
[04:39] <michaelhoward78> Purpley is there some shell commands to check the batt? i can make a shell script if there is.
[04:39] <lb36t> Belinrahs: sorry i did it said "cannot find output" "VGA"
[04:39] <sleepy_cat> but it does not work
[04:39] <Izinucs> michaelhoward78: yes. someone mentionied it the other day.. I think acpi -b
[04:39] <Belinrahs> lb36t: run "lspci | grep VGA" from terminal, tell me output
[04:40] <michaelhoward78> thank you Izinucs
[04:40] <apn> _Techie_, what device it is?
[04:40] <skitzo> ok im almost done.. this program runs perfect now only thing is when i open it i get the "do u want to run, or display its contents dialog" what code do i use just auto run guys?
[04:40] <Izinucs> michaelhoward78: did that work?
[04:40] <ctmjr> Maletor: do not know nvidia and ati both have been like that for awhile just be glad you have an nvidia card ati has no easy fix for it
[04:40] <sixforty> Is there a version of Ubuntu desktop that runs dosemu, qemu, dosbox, and wine without complaint? Currently have hardy.
[04:40] <sleepy_cat> michaelhoward78:  i get the error "not a regular file"
[04:40] <michaelhoward78> not installed by default but its a start. if i make something you want it?
[04:40] <_Techie_> apn, my USB mouse, make: rock, chipset: microdia
[04:41] <Maletor> it worked flawlessly on my insignia at school
[04:41] <michaelhoward78> sleepy
[04:41] <Maletor> so i can be thankful for that
[04:41] <Maletor> and blame vizio for now
[04:41] <michaelhoward78> sleepy_cat can you tar your files then send that?
[04:41] <Izinucs> Maletor: I just came in.. what's up.. nvidia? tv/monior?
[04:41] <Nachturnal> Anyone know how to get Cairo-dock's background to stop showing up as a black space after booting up with Xinerama enabled?
[04:41] <sleepy_cat> its an entire home folder.. comprising 6GB
[04:41] <Maletor> yes, i had to set overscan compensation to 100 and sharpening to 127 because my vizio 37" wasn't working correctly out of box
[04:42] <lb36t> Belinrahs: ok this is gonna sound bad, i cant get the pipe key to work lol
[04:42] <Maletor> the graphics (as in what i can tell from gradients) don't even look that good compared to what i might get on windows 7
[04:42] <Izinucs> Maletor: what rez were you trying to use?
[04:42] <Maletor> 720p
[04:42] <vajorie> sleepy_cat: I'm pretty sure you'll want rsync, which compresses stuff bf sending it to remote computer. google for "rsync over ssh" or something like that
[04:43] <Maletor> unrelated quetion: sudo apt-get install sshd is what i want for my ssh server right?
[04:43] <Izinucs> Maletor: "what by what" 1366x780 or ?
[04:43] <blakkheim> Maletor: openssh-server
[04:43] <ga_sk8er> im having sound issues
[04:43] <Belinrahs> lb36t: in that case, just type lspci and search for the entry that starts with VGA compatible controller
[04:43] <ga_sk8er> my speakers work except when i play java games online
[04:43] <Maletor> probably 1280x720
[04:43] <Maletor> ...but i have it set to auto
[04:43] <michaelhoward78> sleepy_cat vajorie is right and i think rsysnc has better error protection.
[04:43] <lb36t> Belinrahs: ok i got it here it comes
[04:44] <sleepy_cat> hmm
[04:44] <sleepy_cat> i will check it out
[04:44] <Izinucs> Maletor: it makes a difference.. do you know what the native resolution of the monitor is?
[04:44] <Belinrahs> lb36t: don't do the whole thing in here, just the VGA line
[04:44] <sleepy_cat> i am trying to read on the ubuntu links.. not getting properly :D
[04:44] <lb36t> Belinrahs: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)
[04:44] <Maletor> Izinucs, no...
[04:44] <Belinrahs> lb36t: good
[04:44] <azfira> dsfjsdh
[04:44] <Belinrahs> lb36t: let me look for a driver, that might help your resolution issue..
[04:45] <Izinucs> Maletor: google to the rescue.. check it out .. then set the output rez to the native rez of the visio.. you'll find the results much better
[04:45] <ga_sk8er> my system plays a song, does login/logout sounds on pidgin but wont play sound from java games online. what could be the problem?
[04:45] <lb36t> Belinrahs: Thanks
[04:45] <_nubuntu> hey
[04:45] <_nubuntu> help please
[04:45] <_nubuntu> please help me
[04:45] <Maletor> while i thought that made a difference Izinucs, I don't think it does, making resolutions smaller and bigger does not fix the overscan problem as the task bar and menu bar are still hidden...
[04:45] <turtle_> whats better thunderbird or evolution?
[04:45] <_nubuntu> i need help
[04:45] <apn> _nubuntu, ask the question
[04:46] <michaelhoward78> _nubuntu whats up?
[04:46] <Belinrahs> lb36t: you said you're on a laptop, make/model?
[04:46] <ga_sk8er> my system plays a song, does login/logout sounds on pidgin but wont play sound from java games online. what could be the problem?
[04:46] <vajorie> sleepy_cat: this link disagrees with me. it says tar is faster than rsync when the destination doesn't have any of the files... in both cases, I think you're assumed to have setup ssh to tunnel everything thru it. so you'll have to google for how to setup an ssh tunnel properly and securely, than read up on how to use tar or rsync over ssh. here's the link http://oreilly.com/pub/h/38
[04:46] <_nubuntu> im trying to use centerim
[04:46] <apn> turtle_, thunderbird, by long shot
[04:46] <_nubuntu> it says press ^X for send
[04:46] <Izinucs> Maletor: well... is the overscan issue because of a setting you made? if so switch it back and also do the native rez
[04:46] <_nubuntu> how do i press ^X
[04:46] <apn> _nubuntu, ctrl + X
[04:46] <wertik_rus> ctrl +x ?
[04:46] <sleepy_cat> hmm
[04:46] <ga_sk8er> shift 6 plus x
[04:46] <michaelhoward78> _nubuntu control + x
[04:46] <aksci> nautilus opens new tab when i press 'e'! i never specified it or changed it! i can't even use 'e' while renaming files! please help!

[04:48] <sleepy_cat> i tried with sudo still it gives me the same error
[04:48] <ctmjr> Izinucs: Maletor installed the driver from nvidia which has a overscan compensation slider to fix the issue with overscan
[04:48] <ga_sk8er> zoug is it the java-common package?
[04:48] <michaelhoward78> sleepy_cat are you using sudo?

[04:49] <_nubuntu> my hard drive started clicking and wouldnt work anymore so i took it out
[04:49] <Belinrahs> lb36t1: no problem. you said you had a laptop, what's the make/model?
[04:49] <Izinucs> ctmjr: I've got the binary driver installed on one machine as well.. I've never seen the slider.. how do ou get at it? nvidia-settings? nvidia-xconfig?
[04:49] <_nubuntu> and i used my nubuntu cd to boot only with dvd rom
[04:49] <thermal_> can anyone recommend a good alternative to apache benchmark?
[04:49] <ga_sk8er> zoug i didnt have it installed
[04:49] <ga_sk8er> zoug might of been my problem
[04:50] <_nubuntu> is hard drive broke
[04:50] <vajorie> sleepy_cat: that one's about doing scheduled back ups to a remote location (over ssh that is). was that what you want?
[04:50] <bazhang> _nubuntu, how does that relate to ubuntu
[04:50] <zoug> ga_sk8er: install it..
[04:50] <lb36t1> Belinrahs: EMACHINES ESYSTEM: 4213
[04:50] <ga_sk8er> zoug doing it now
[04:50] <sleepy_cat> since i had not created a separate home folder when i installed ubuntu.. i have to backup the home folder.. now i tried with ssh (GUI) and copied the folder.. but since write access etc (permission denied) (cannot copy) its not copying the entire folder over to the remote terminal.. so i tried with scp but it has issues with the file size..
[04:50] <apn> sekyourbox, it depends. http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.faq.html#bug_gnometerm
[04:50] <michaelhoward78> _nubuntu that was prob the click of death. so yes..sorry
[04:50] <zoug> ga_sk8er: then restart firefox
[04:50] <sleepy_cat> vajorie:since i had not created a separate home folder when i installed ubuntu.. i have to backup the home folder.. now i tried with ssh (GUI) and copied the folder.. but since write access etc (permission denied) (cannot copy) its not copying the entire folder over to the remote terminal.. so i tried with scp but it has issues with the file size..
[04:50] <ctmjr> Izinucs: in nvidia-settings right click the monitor in the left window it will open a new window on the right
[04:51] <vajorie> sleepy_cat: hmm, I'm asking because if this is a one-time copy, there is no need to deal with cat > ...cron ....
[04:51] <sekyourbox> apn, I want to connect to my router's console..
[04:51] <Belinrahs> lb36t1: Good news and bad news. Good news is there's one more thing you can try that might help. Bad news is, you have a SiS video chipset, and SiS has very very poor Linux support.
[04:51] <sleepy_cat> yes this is a one time copy
[04:51] <_nubuntu> how can i watch porn with nubuntu without a hard drive
[04:51] <sekyourbox> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhtM8UaqTt4&feature=related
[04:51] <Izinucs> ctmjr: ah.. I've never had a need to go there.. interesting.. he still needs to know the native resolution of the tv/monitor to get the best out of it.
[04:51] <sleepy_cat> vajorie: after that i will need to copy from the host onto my local desktop so.. :P
[04:51] <Belinrahs> lb36t1: The last thing you can try, is the first post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=958967&page=2
[04:51] <lb36t1> Belinrahs: ok lol lets try the good news
[04:52] <ga_sk8er> zoug that was it ty
[04:52] <zoug> ga_sk8er: great!
[04:52] <ga_sk8er> zoug :D
[04:52] <ctmjr> Izinucs: agreed but he did not ask me how to do that just how to fix the overscan
[04:52] <sixforty> Have changes been made to linux/Ubuntu security which make emulators easier to run since hardy?
[04:52] <ga_sk8er> zoug the sound helps alot so u know when time is almost up in a timed-game
[04:53] <Izinucs> ctmjr: ok.. we're both on the right path if he wants to take it.. :)
[04:53] <jiohdi> help! I am getting kernel panic -unable to sync vfs, unknown block [8,2]
[04:53] <bazhang> sekyourbox, dont paste again in here
[04:53] <Maletor> setting it to 1366x768 which seems to be native resolution of vx37l models does not seem to fix it...
[04:53] <zoug> ga_sk8er: everything should work in ubuntu, which doesnt seem to work :D
[04:53] <vajorie> sleepy_cat: in that block of commands that starts with cat and ends with ^D (ctrl+d), ignore everything but this command: rsync -e 'ssh -p 22' -avzp /some/dir remote_host:/var/backups/some_host Do everything it wants you to do for setting up an ssh tunnel, then use that rsync command as guide to send a few test files. if that succeeds, send out the whole thing.
[04:53] <sleepy_cat> vajorie: its working i suppose it says building file list.. initially it was all permission denied.. now its working.. i think
[04:53] <sekyourbox> bazhang, Just figured someon whould should know their chicken...
[04:54] <apn> sekyourbox, are you familiar with minicom?
[04:54] <sekyourbox> apn, i just googled that, thanks
[04:54] <ga_sk8er> zoug not everything. i still cant get webcam to work right
[04:54] <thermal_> or I guess apache benchmark is fine too if someone know how to install it without installing apache as well
[04:54] <bazhang> sekyourbox, it is offtopic here. #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[04:54] <sekyourbox> bazhang, sure
[04:54] <vajorie> sleepy_cat: the cat > ,,,cron... is wrong, don't know why he used that.
[04:54] <zoug> ga_sk8er: hmm, whats the make?
[04:54] <ga_sk8er> zoug intel
[04:55] <zoug> ga_sk8er: on a laptop?

[04:58] <goose> what's the terminal command to check and see if I have a package installed through aptitude?
[04:59] <vajorie> sleepy_cat: here's a better guide trying to do the same thing (have scheduled rsync backups over ssh). useful *not* as a step-by-step guide for you, but as a guide or something... http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/rsync.htm
[04:59] <jiohdi> goose, if you use apt-get install package-name it will tell you if its already installed
[04:59] <goose> jiohdi: well, I want to see what mysql and sqlite packages I have installed already ;/
[05:00] <ga_sk8er> zoug only 2 intel in whole list...neither is mine
[05:00] <sleepy_cat> vajorie: thanks.. now looking for imagewriter :)
[05:00] <jiohdi> goose: just use the name and it will tell you and the version
[05:00] <sleepy_cat> i tried with the other one Ubuntu provides... but that gives boot error
[05:00] <petsounds> apn, i get an error output No value to set for key: `/apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir'

[05:00] <lb36t1> Berlinrahs: why cant i find the xconf.org file?
[05:00] <ardchoille> petsounds: don't mess with that comand
[05:00] <jiohdi> goose, if there is a newer one it will let you know and give you the option to install it
[05:01] <turtle_> which is better, evolution or thunderbird?
[05:01] <goose> turtle_: thunderbird
[05:01] <ga_sk8er> zoug only 2 intel in whole list...neither is mine
[05:01] <ardchoille> *bool
[05:01] <michaelhoward78> turtle_ thunderbirds got my vote
[05:01] <turtle_> goose, what do you like about thunderbird over evolution?
[05:01] <ga_sk8er> zoug i probaly have to get another webcam
[05:01] <roger21> hi, what is the thing that replace the xorg.conf parameters since ubuntu 8.10 ?

[05:02] <goose> jiohdi: I'm trying to debug a perl bot which stores info via sql, but I don't think it has the dependencies it needs to properly access the sql files, which is why I want to see what I already have versus what I don't :/
[05:02] <apn> ardchoille, tank you, late time
[05:02] <ardchoille> apn: That's wrong too
[05:02] <goose> turtle_: everything. try them both. decide for yourself.
[05:02] <ardchoille> apn: --type bool
[05:02] <ga_sk8er> zoug thanks anyways. at least got sound for my online games
[05:02] <apn> ardchoille, 0 is bool
[05:03] <ardchoille> apn: --type is bool, --set is false
[05:03] <petsounds> ardchoille, apn i confuse :(

[05:03] <plustax> what to do?!
[05:04] <Chamunks> If I were to want to put "screen rtorrent" into my servers boot where would I have to put it?
[05:04] <michaelhoward78> melik gimp can convert images to ascii

[05:05] <Chamunks> goose, thanks I couldnt think of any names of places I could start.
[05:05] <zoug> Chamunks: /etc/init.d/
[05:05] <petsounds> ardchoille, do i need to log out/reboot now?
[05:05] <plustax> okay sorry
[05:06] <ardchoille> petsounds: possibly, since nautilus manages the desktop
[05:06] <Chamunks> zoug, dont I need to put scripts in there not commands?
[05:06] <ardchoille> petsounds: don't need to reboot
[05:06] <petsounds> ardchoille, ok brb
[05:06] <zoug> Chamunks: how about a shell script that runs your command?
[05:06] <ctmjr> plustax: leave the mouse there for a bit see if it un-hides
[05:07] <zoug> Chamunks: sys->pref->start-up
[05:07] <goose> jiohdi: aptitude search '~i' | grep sql -- is what I was looking for :)
[05:08] <ImJJames> adobe reader i386 linux should work fine on xubuntu 9.10 right?

[05:09] <Chamunks> zoug, I dont know how to script as of right now. plus I'm on a cli.
[05:09] <obiwan_> hi, please i got 2 open apps which i can't get to close, i did killal, right click close, and neither did work
[05:09] <blakkheim> obiwan_: killall -9
[05:09] <obiwan_> the're taking m whole cpu so i need it
[05:09] <zoug> Chamunks: what does the server runs?
[05:09] <Chamunks> zoug, basic NAS and seedbox.
[05:10] <obiwan_> killall -9? but i thought -9 is for kill
[05:10] <goose> obiwan_: alt + f2, "xkill", click the frozen application
[05:10] <MashaIvanova> hi guys quick question what exactly is chown
[05:10] <paulmer> I need to load unbuntu on a netbook via usb, so I read the guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick)
[05:10] <MashaIvanova> and how do I use this with chmod?
[05:10] <paulmer> but obviously usb-creator is only for ubuntu
[05:10] <paulmer> I run gentoo.
[05:10] <goose> MashaIvanova: man chown
[05:10] <ardchoille> MashaIvanova: man chown
[05:10] <paulmer> where can I get this utility
[05:10] <Chamunks> goose, I'll check ubottu for some details on crontab but I'm pretty unfamiliar with cron.
[05:10] <paulmer> so I can load it
[05:10] <FloodBot2> paulmer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:10] <paulmer> diaf bot
[05:11] <Chamunks> zoug, with basic webhosting really.
[05:11] <michaelhoward78> obiwan_ kill pid. do a ps -A to find the proccess you want to kill then type kill and the pid
[05:11] <goose> Chamunks: google it, it's easy :)
[05:11] <bazhang> paulmer, gentoo ?
[05:11] <obiwan_> i did michaelhoward78
[05:11] <obiwan_> i'll try the goose option
[05:11] <zoug> Chamunks: crontab is a scheduler not suitable for start-up scripts..
[05:11] <MashaIvanova> ok more specifically how do I use chmod with chown or what is the difference
[05:11] <vajorie> paulmer: have a look at http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[05:11] <michaelhoward78> obiwan_ i have been havin the same prob on 9.10 on app that use the whole screen
[05:11] <paulmer> Thanks, vajorie
[05:12] <bazhang> paulmer, any distro will work with unetbootin ; gentoo questions in #gentoo please
[05:12] <vajorie> you're welcome :)
[05:12] <MashaIvanova> goose, ardchoille so how do you use chmod chown, arent they the same thing?
[05:12] <Chamunks> zoug, fair enough I guess aparently according to a quick google search there has to be chron referenced in some init file anyways.
[05:12] <Chamunks> zoug, or rc.local
[05:13] <PoppingFlamingo> Hey, Movie Player (built in version) was working fine before, but recently it won't play anything.  .mp3's, .avi's, anything.  It loads the file and sits at 0:00 indefinitely.  Any ideas on how to correct this?
[05:13] <ardchoille> MashaIvanova: chmod modifies mode, chown modifies ownership
[05:13] <vajorie> anyone with an acer aspire one d250 around here? I'm trying to (and failing at) get a correct cpu temperature reading from it...
[05:13] <MashaIvanova> ardchoille, what do you mean mode?
[05:13] <MashaIvanova> ardchoille, mode of what
[05:13] <ardchoille> MashaIvanova: http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/08/linux-file-permissions.html
[05:14] <MashaIvanova> ardchoille, thank you
[05:14] <zoug> Chamunks: simple solution to me: go to your server's sys-pref-start-up and add your command
[05:14] <Chamunks> zoug, like basically I'm just looking to run rtorrent in a screen using a normal user on boot.  This server is completely headless thus has No xserver at all :S
[05:14] <ardchoille> MashaIvanova: chown changes ownership of the file: user:group (such as root user, admin group)
[05:14] <paulmer> Obviously bazhang
[05:15] <paulmer> Thanks for your help.
[05:15] <paulmer> /sarcasm
[05:15] <MashaIvanova> ardchoille, ok thanks
[05:15] <ijeif> hi
[05:15] <zoug> Chamunks: your only option is making a script in /etc/init.d/
[05:15] <Chamunks> zoug, thats kinda why I'm in a bind I can try nx'ing into the box and running x that way but I think those startup procs under sys-pref-startup only runs on login.
[05:16] <Flannel> paulmer: If you have a computer with a CD drive, you can use the creator from the liveCD
[05:16] <ijeif> what was that modified/rebranded firefox that did not transmit all your searches to Google/Mozilla/Canonical?
[05:17] <ijeif> i heard about it a few months ago when there was that controversial change to Ubuntu's FF. I think it was in a 9.10 alpha release.
[05:18] <Flannel> ijeif: I believe it was only for the alpha releases (the change)
[05:18] <ardchoille> Flannel: it was, the final release removed that
[05:18] <paulmer> Damn, this piece of junk usb key sitting around is only 260meg..
[05:18] <paulmer> How hard is it to use pxe boot?
[05:18] <ijeif> Flannel: can you remember the thread about it? I saw someone link to an alternative build with privacy treated more preciously
[05:18] <paulmer> I don't have any cdrs and I need to load this magine immediately
[05:18] <ijeif> the thread on the forum I mean
[05:18] <ijeif> i'm unable to find it
[05:18] <Flannel> paulmer: You can use the minimal ISO, which is only 8MB (and it downloads all the packages from the internet)
[05:19] <paulmer> Excellent, thanks for the tip Flannel!
[05:19] <Flannel> !mini | paulmer
[05:19] <evon> hello everyone. How do i change start up programs from the command line?
[05:19] <Chamunks> zoug, If I could get in to do that startups thing under prefs I dont think that would boot with the server would it?
[05:19] <michaelhoward78> evon cron -e
[05:20] <ardchoille> evon: don't use cron -e, install sysv-rc-conf and use that to change startup programs
[05:20] <ardchoille> michaelhoward78: cron -e isn't what he needed
[05:20] <obiwan_> re
[05:21] <obiwan_> me sali sin querer xd
[05:21] <obiwan_> ooops sry
[05:21] <michaelhoward78> ardchoille isnt what cron is for?
[05:21] <ardchoille> michaelhoward78: no
[05:21] <evon> ardchoille: what is that and why can't i use cron -e?
[05:21] <michaelhoward78> ardchoille thanks for the explantion
[05:21] <MashaIvanova> ardchoille, hi, sorry to bother you again, so is this the correct format for the chown/chmod command? ... chmod 755 <dir> chown –R userid:userid
[05:21] <ardchoille> evon: your cron -e is empty, unless you changed it. sysv-rc-conf is used to change startup programs
[05:22] <evon> ardchoille: and that program will work in commandline?
[05:22] <ardchoille> MashaIvanova: chmod 755 dir is good if you only want to modify the dir iteslef and not subdirs
[05:22] <ardchoille> evon: yes, I use it all the time
[05:23] <MashaIvanova> ardchoille, so how do I get it to also do the subdirectories?...add -R?
[05:23] <ardchoille> MashaIvanova: chown -R user:group  (not userid)
[05:23] <ardchoille> MashaIvanova: yes, -R is for "recursive"
[05:23] <zoug> Chamunks: it should
[05:23] <evon> ardchoille: what's the apt-get install name to install that program from commandline?
[05:23] <MashaIvanova> ardchoille, ah ok so the command should look like this, chmod 755 <dir> chown –R userid:group ......what would be the group?
[05:24] <ardchoille> evon: sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf
[05:24] <Chamunks> zoug, I'll give the server a reboot see how it worked.
[05:24] <evon> ardchoille: says it could not find it when i tried that
[05:24] <zoug> Chamunks: cool..
[05:24] <ardchoille> MashaIvanova: don't use userid, it's just user:group and you have to know the group
[05:24] <ardchoille> !info sysv-rc-conf
[05:24] <rcscomp> How do I use the "-u" option with apt-get to list packages that need to be installed?  I don't know which command to use it with.
[05:24] <MashaIvanova> ardchoille, what is a group then...i guess?
[05:24] <rcscomp> -installed +upgraded
[05:25] <ardchoille> evon: you need to enable the universe repo and try again
[05:25] <ardchoille> MashaIvanova: which group do you want to have group permission for the dir?
[05:25] <evon> ardchoille: i think it's already enabled. how do i enable it through commandline? I can't remember which file i have to change
[05:25] <Hilikus> hey guys
[05:25] <aperson> !hi | Hilikus
[05:25] <MashaIvanova> ardchoille, i want to be added to the group, instead of the current user (apache for some reason?)
[05:26] <ardchoille> evon: after you install sysv-rc-conf, run it with: sudo sysv-rc-conf
[05:26] <Chamunks> zoug, Just that I'll let ya know if it works.
[05:26] <ardchoille> MashaIvanova: don't chown the /var/www folder, that's not what you want, apache will have problems
[05:26] <obiwan_> ey  i'm back
[05:26] <rcscomp> apt-get -u [what goes here?]
[05:26] <obiwan_> i closed by error terminal with xkill
[05:27] <ardchoille> MashaIvanova: to add yourself to a group, see man adduser
[05:27] <evon> ardchoille: i can't even install the program though.
[05:27] <ardchoille> evon: Why not?
[05:27] <MashaIvanova> MashaIvanova, no no its not the dir i'm trying to do, ah ok I will man adduser, cool thank you so much
[05:27] <auser> hey, I've got a pretty specific question... I'm trying to install squashfs-tools with aptitude on karmic... when I install them on Jaunty I get the kernel-patch-squashfs package along with the squashfs-tools, in Karmic I can't find them, and squashfs just plain fails... any ideas?
[05:27] <evon> ardchoille: says it can't find the package
[05:27] <obiwan_> i closed too the open apps, they aren't now visible, but still in system monitor, and system is really, really laggy
[05:27] <zoug> Chamunks: ok!
[05:27] <auser> I could really use the help on this
[05:28] <ardchoille> evon: did you enable the universe repo and update  your sources with: sudo apt-get update
[05:28] <Maletor> how do i make my z 5500's work with ubuntu?
[05:28] <kortmann> what is the suggested way of installing jdk on a fresh ubuntu install?
[05:28] <obiwan_> i've got 7 cpu average! this is really bad
[05:28] <LizardK|ng> obiwan_, load average?
[05:28] <evon> ardchoille: I can't remember which file I need to update in order to enable that repository.  Can you remind me please
[05:28] <obiwan_> how can i cut the head off those apps? to make sure they die
[05:29] <auser> hm, anyone familiar with apt-get + squashfs?
[05:29] <Hilikus> if i have my samba setting security = user, do i still need to use smbpasswd to set passwords and add users or i just need to maintain workin system accounts?
[05:29] <ardchoille> evon: do you have a working desktop?
[05:29] <obiwan_> yeah LizardK|ng , 7! it's ultrahigh
[05:29] <sleepy_cat> on imagewriter i load the image i load the usb disk and i click on create .. now it says in details "unmounted usb drive" but shows no progress.. nor anything just stalls
[05:29] <obiwan_> usually i got 0.3~0.6, now 7
[05:30] <obiwan_> i yet tried kill -9, killall, right click close, xkill...
[05:30] <obiwan_> they simply won't die
[05:30] <auser> hm
[05:30] <GodfatherofEire> I dont suppose there's any way to speed up /dev/random?
[05:30] <Chamunks> zoug, I've found some init.d stuff that I may be able to work with.  But it appears to have failed.
[05:31] <evon> ardchoille: nope no GUI. i need to turn of Gnome 3 shell in order to get it working
[05:31] <Chamunks> zoug, I think that it only works when logged in via the gui.
[05:31] <obiwan_> please how can i kill em?
[05:31] <evon> ardchoille: i moved my system to a new case and the graphics don't work properly anymore. I want to reinstall my nvidia drivers
[05:31] <obiwan_> i'm afraid my computer won't resist
[05:32] <ardchoille> evon: I'm afraid I can't help with editing sources via command line
[05:32] <ardchoille> I don't mess with my sources.list
[05:32] <zoug> Chamunks: make a script, put it in /etc/init.d/ and then update via update-rc.d. more info on its manual
[05:33] <zoug> Chamunks: also make your script executable
[05:33] <auser> hm
[05:33] <auser> anyone have any idea how to fix this: mount: unknown filesystem type 'squashfs'
[05:33] <evon> ardchoille: i just need to know where that source.list file is. I have no problem editing it manually
[05:33] <IdleOne> evon: /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:34] <Chamunks> zoug, thanks I'd never have thought about +x
[05:34] <Brack101> Hey
[05:34] <zoug> Chamunks: yeah, it is necessary
[05:34] <Brack101> since updating my computer, it's going super slow, like my CPU is bogged down or something.  The only thing I see is that xorg takes up about 25% of my CPU at any given time. Is that normal?
[05:35] <obiwan_> yeah i finally killed em :)
[05:35] <Brack101> Ubuntu 9.04 if that helps
[05:35] <michaelhoward78> obiwan_ how?
[05:36] <zoug> Brack101: you can see what is eating your cpu in system monitor
[05:36] <Brack101> zoug: It's xorg
[05:36] <MashaIvanova> ardchoille, ok cool so i got it except just one last question :) the command so far is chmod -R 755 <dir> chown -R user:group right?.....the -R in chown command does not make sense, do I need to add the -R?
[05:37] <Maletor> Help, my Logitech Z-5500 will not work with 9.10. I can't get the optical out to play anything. What am I doing wrong?
[05:38] <Chamunks> zoug, you think init.d files can be named things like rtorrentInit.bash ?
[05:38] <friendishan> hello, my 2nd cable connection is not working (though it's working in windows XP)
[05:38] <Chamunks> zoug, for example http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/attachment/wiki/RTorrentCommonTasks/rtorrentInit.bash
[05:39] <evon> IdleOne: thanks
[05:39] <IdleOne> evon: np
[05:39] <auser> hm
[05:39] <friendishan> my 2nd cable connection is not working (though it's working in windows XP)

[05:41] <auser> hey, I've got a pretty specific question... I'm trying to install squashfs-tools with aptitude on karmic... when I install them on Jaunty I get the kernel-patch-squashfs package along with the squashfs-tools, in Karmic I can't find them, and squashfs just plain fails... any ideas?
[05:41] <zoug> Chamunks: yeah, it should work. in the script look for SCRIPTNAME. it says /etc/init.d/rtorrent
[05:41] <friendishan> IdleOne: ok thanks
[05:42] <Chamunks> zoug, found it what should I do here?
[05:43] <roger21> hi, what would be the file that allow to set up the double click delay ?
[05:43] <friendishan> my 2nd cable connection is not working (though it's working in windows XP)
[05:43] <^Ocean^> is there a how to, to make a consol auto-logon (Not through gdm) with karmic ?
[05:44] <zoug> Chamunks: sorry, brb
[05:44] <friendishan> any help please!!
[05:45] <bazhang> friendishan, be patient; providing many more details would help as well.
[05:46] <[Neurotic]> Just want to ask - is it actually physically possible to install 9.10 on a Bios Raid1 system?

[05:49] <ardchoille> !xorg | lb36t There isn't one by default
[05:49] <Hacksign> lb36t, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:49] <yairgo> IdleOne: thanks.  seems people I talk to are 50/50 on bin or apt-get
[05:50] <ImJJames> system > Preferences > Appearance, set Visual Effects to 'none'. I dont see this on my xubuntu 9.10... where is it

[05:50] <IdleOne> yairgo: milleage varies from person to person but the recommended way is to use software from the repositories
[05:50] <Zeppelin> if i try out xfce, i can go back to GNOME right?

[05:51] <joe_____> good evening all
[05:52] <sleepy_cat> is it possible to tile two windows vertically/horizontally like in XP
[05:52] <ImJJames> ardchoille: its not there.. I dotn even see Preferences after syst
[05:52] <maco> sleepy_cat: are you looking for a tiling window manager?
[05:52] <maco> sleepy_cat: like, so everything is tiled?
[05:52] <sleepy_cat> not really..
[05:52] <ardchoille> ImJJames: Which distro are you using?
[05:53] <sleepy_cat> i opened two folders on my desktop
[05:53] <ImJJames> xubuntu 9.10
[05:53] <sleepy_cat> i want to see whats there in them simultaneously
[05:53] <ardchoille> ImJJames: you need to ask in #xubuntu
[05:53] <maco> sleepy_cat: oh. dolphin, the file browser for kde, can do split view like that
[05:53] <maco> sleepy_cat: sudo apt-get install dolphin
[05:53] <friendishan> i have 2 net connections (1 which i am using now) i have another cable connection which is not getting connected though it gets connected in win XP it says disconnected here please help! (it has to be automatic with DHCP)
[05:53] <sleepy_cat> maco: in Gnome
[05:53] <lb36t> ok guys that just logged me out lol
[05:54] <lb36t> how do i actually edit the xconf.org file
[05:54] <IdleOne> lb36t: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:54] <maco> sleepy_cat: you can use dolphin inside gnome just fine. unfortunately nautilus doesnt have a split view feature yet, just tabs
[05:54] <ardchoille> lb36t: it's xorg.conf and you edit it in a cli editor like nano or vim, you'll need sudo for that
[05:54] <ImJJames> lb36t back it up first
[05:54] <ImJJames> -)
[05:54] <sleepy_cat> ok

[05:56] <Izinucs> Is webDav supported in Kontact's Calendar?
[05:56] <Hilikus> is there any way to customize the function keys on a microsoft keyboard?
[05:56] <snuxoll> Hilikus: yup
[05:56] <Maletor> should we be installing rubygems through synaptic/
[05:56] <IdleOne> Ben64: ummm...your guess is as good as any
[05:56] <friendishan> Shrina : wtf why r u doing this?>????
[05:56] <friendishan> i have 2 net connections (1 which i am using now) i have another cable connection which is not getting connected though it gets connected in win XP it says disconnected here please help! (it has to be automatic with DHCP)
[05:56] <lb36t> ok so ive opened the xorg.conf file and its blank?!
[05:56] <ardchoille> Izinucs: you need to ask in #kubuntu
[05:56] <snuxoll> Hilikus: open up System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts
[05:56] <eedge> hmm, I bet that virus would have only affected Windows :0)

[05:57] <ardchoille> lb36t: because that file isn't really used anymore
[05:57] <Maletor> snuxoll, why?
[05:57] <snuxoll> Maletor: gems works from the repositories, but there is headache involved as running commands installed by it as root, not to mention it's typically an older version of rubygems and casuses some issues with certain gems
[05:57] <lb36t> ok so how can i manually add resolutions ?
[05:57] <snuxoll> Maletor: I install it myself because of this

[05:59] <MashaIvanova> ardchoille, and then do chown?

[05:59] <blakkheim> vajorie: try irssi
[05:59] <ardchoille> MashaIvanova: sudo chown -R user:group dir
[05:59] <ardchoille> MashaIvanova: don't use "userid"
[06:00] <MashaIvanova> ardchoille, so whats the diff between userid and user
[06:00] <MashaIvanova> ardchoille, ?
[06:00] <Zeppelin> bazhang
[06:00] <ardchoille> MashaIvanova: userid is a number, user is the username
[06:00] <Zeppelin> I installed it
[06:00] <Zeppelin> things are messed up man
[06:00] <Zeppelin> do i sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop

[06:34] <hiexpo> well im glad i got help and know how to install this driver maybe next week hugh
[06:34] <askvictor> LizardK|ng: I think the default kernel expects a pentium or better
[06:34] <ardchoille> allowoverride: I have been looking for the google calendar extension for tb too

[06:34] <Ben64> looks like 64bit version to me
[06:34] <LizardK|ng> allowoverride, i seem to recall reading that 386 support was going to be dropped from the kernel a few versions back
[06:35] <allowoverride> for 32 bit os and arch it works great
[06:35] <allowoverride> lightning that is
[06:35] <allowoverride> you can export to .ical file

[06:36] <kapu> I've always found ubuntu users much more pleasant
[06:36] <allowoverride> Ben64: what did you say
[06:36] <allowoverride> im in 3 rooms
[06:36] <askvictor> LizardK|ng: You could install onto a pentium-class machine, compile and install a kernel for 386, then rip the disk out and put it into your 386. Or something similar
[06:37] <Ben64> allowoverride: do you not have a client that can separate channels?
[06:37] <allowoverride> Ben64: where did you find that link?
[06:37] <_Techie_> how can i logout using command line, my mouse still isnt working properly off of boot
[06:37] <Ben64> allowoverride: the google is strong with me
[06:38] <allowoverride> Ben64: Lightning 0.9 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 3.5.6.
[06:38] <Ben64> _Techie_: CTRL+ALT+Backspace should bring you to the login screen
[06:38] <LizardK|ng> it's just kinda sad that i was able to run linux 2.4.x on a 386 with 16 MB of ram and now you can't run 2.6.x on it anymore

[06:40] <allowoverride> quess i will just wget that link lol
[06:40] <corinth> I set Ubuntu to auto-login my account. Now, NetworkManager Applet prompts me for my sudo password when the desktop first loads. How can I fix this?
[06:40] <_Techie_> Ben64, log out preferable, kinda excessive to shutdown -r to change my resolution
[06:40] <SparkyFlary> anyone used Abiword? i tried opening .doc and i cant see the pictures in it
[06:41] <mneptok> _Techie_: zapping works in Karmic. alt-sysreq-k

[06:42] <brenley> I need help with a flashplugin-nonfree issue with the new distribution.
[06:42] <allowoverride> Ben64: thanks... that will work.
[06:42] <allowoverride> i dont know how i downloaded the non 64 version..
[06:43] <askvictor> LizardK|ng: LInux is a kernel. It runs on just about any cpu you can throw at it (well, as long as it has an MMU). This includes 386. Ubuntu has a certain use case that requires a fast CPU. If you want to run linux on a 386, you can, just a different version. There are plenty of embedded devices running linux 2.6 that have less resources than a 386 with 16Megs.
[06:44] <sleepy_cat> i wanted to install ubuntu 9.10 but then it said there is 1 error in the iso file.. (i ran the live user worked well i later i checked for integrity then it gave that error) i wanted to know is downloading a new version my only hope ?
[06:44] <mneptok> sleepy_cat: no. Obi-Wan Kenobi is your only hope.
[06:44] <etfb> sleepy_cat, Yes.  And check your CD burner because it might be misbehaving.
[06:45] <brenley> what about once we get it in stalled and get the flashplugin error?
[06:45] <mneptok> sleepy_cat: and yes, you need to re-download. and use a torrent to ensure such problems don;t happen again.
[06:45] <brenley> which prevents me from further updating the distrution.
[06:45] <asphix> hello everyone, my first time in IRC

[06:46] <indus> !hi | asphix
[06:47] <allowoverride> Ben64: ok. now thats finished. could you guide me in right direction to install 32bit env/libs.
[06:48] <indus> allowoverride: nothing to do really, sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
[06:48] <Ben64> allowoverride: why not just install the 64bit version of lightning?
[06:48] <allowoverride> indus: how will that effect my 64 bit env. will it?
[06:48] <indus> but iam not sure if that is the answer you look for
[06:48] <allowoverride> Ben64: i did, it works, thanks
[06:48] <indus> allowoverride: nvm
[06:48] <allowoverride> nvm?
[06:48] <indus> never mind, ignore me
[06:49] <allowoverride> why?
[06:49] <Ben64> allowoverride: then why do you need 32bit libs
[06:49] <allowoverride> i want them

[06:49] <allowoverride> Ben64: like i stated b4. some progs will not work
[06:50] <Ben64> allowoverride: which? you might just not be seeing the 64bit versions
[06:50] <allowoverride> is there a 64 bit ms publisher replacement out there?
[06:50] <brenley> can someone help me with a slightly easier query?
[06:50] <allowoverride> Ben64: true. i just loaded the os only a few times.
[06:51] <dnivra_> brenley: it's best to ask your question rather than asking to ask. just ask your question and someone will help you out.
[06:51] <kcj1993> anyone in here know how to get checkinstall to make .deb packages without installing them?

[06:51] <kcj1993> !checkinstall
[06:51] <brenley> Hello, I am having issues with the Flashplugin-nonfree package.  its broken and i can't get rid or update it.
[06:52] <Ben64> allowoverride: almost everything for ubuntu comes in 32 and 64 bit versions, if you're looking to recreate windows, you're aiming for the wrong thing
[06:52] <allowoverride> ok so simply : sudo apt-get install ia32-libs   i got that... just gathering some input to decide. oh and no im not running windows lol...
[06:52] <dnivra> brenly: just go to synaptic package manager and select "Remove completely" or whatever option that sounds similar.
[06:52] <allowoverride> how funny
[06:53] <brenley> dn - that's not working.  it just refuses to do anything.  is there a terminal command i can use?
[06:53] <asphix> I have Karmic Koala. Soundcard: SoundblasterLive.. when using digital output, sound stammers. It is a pulseaudio issue. Any idea?
[06:53] <Scott__> bently u need to purge
[06:53] <Scott__> brenley sorry
[06:53] <allowoverride> rather than asking the why questions, how about just respond with the hows ;)
[06:53] <brenley> purge?  how do i do that?
[06:54] <Scott__> i am pm ing u brenly check
[06:54] <BZiadie> Hi. I have a question. Not sure if this is the right place. I want to install Ubuntu Desktop Remix on my Asus EEE PC 1000HE. I'm doing it from a USB. I've had to change "isolinux" and "isolinux.cfg" to "syslinux" and "syslinux.cfg" to get it to show the boot menu. Now when I select the option to try out Ubuntu, or install it, the screen goes black and the cursor indicates that it's loading, but it never gets past this screen. D
[06:54] <kcj1993> brenley: stick your finger down your throat
[06:54] <Ben64> allowoverride: well to me it seems like you went to ubuntu from windows, and now you're looking to recreate everything you had on windows exactly how it was. but the problem is many windows programs aren't going to be available on linux, and similar programs for linux are going to work fine on 64 bit.
[06:55] <allowoverride> so i asked what Effect will loading sudo apt-get install ia32-libs  have on my 64bit env...
[06:55] <maco> kcj1993: stop, please
[06:55] <allowoverride> Ben64: way off lol...
[06:55] <kcj1993> ok sorry
[06:55] <allowoverride> i been using linux/unix for some time... i been using ubuntu for um... 6 months
[06:55] <Ben64> allowoverride: well how about this: what programs do you want that do not work with 64 bit?
[06:56] <allowoverride> im going one by one at the moment Ben64
[06:56] <allowoverride> thunderbird was the last one. thats done...
[06:56] <Ben64> one by one from what
[06:56] <asphix> I have Karmic Koala. Soundcard: SoundblasterLive.. when using digital output, sound stammers. It is a pulseaudio issue. Any idea?
[06:56] <allowoverride> typical programs i used for various things
[06:56] <allowoverride> ill let you know
[06:56] <allowoverride> as i come accross issues . hows that sound
[06:56] <allowoverride> :)
[06:56] <Ben64> where is this list of programs you need to work in 64bit, but don't
[06:57] <allowoverride>  sudo apt-get install ia32-libs was good input. thanks
[06:57] <allowoverride> well i would say right now, the most probs im having are with plugins
[06:57] <allowoverride> for firefox 3.5
[06:57] <allowoverride> and um.. what effect will sudo apt-get install ia32-libs have on my 64 bit env....
[06:58] <allowoverride> if you dont know, its ok,  i dont expect everyone to know everything :)
[06:59] <allowoverride> Ben64: i dont think there is a replacement for linuxj2k at the moment for 64bit
[06:59] <askvictor> allowoverride: ia32-libs don't have any effect on 64 bit programs.
[06:59] <askvictor> s/don't/doesn't/

[07:00] <wwmorgan> I don't have the module ehci-hcd in my 9.10 install. Should I? What module negotiates full speed USB enumeration?
[07:00] <askvictor> allowoverride: fair enough, though if it's from a mainline repo (and often even it it's not) it usually pretty easy to uninstall

[07:01] <asphix> I have Karmic Koala. Soundcard: SoundblasterLive.. when using digital output, sound stammers. It is a pulseaudio issue. Any idea?
[07:01] <Ben64> holy crap

[07:01] <_Techie_> karmic isnt detecting my USB mouse @ boot is this bug fixed in one of the updates
[07:02] <corinth> I set Ubuntu to auto-login my account. Now, NetworkManager Applet prompts me for my sudo password when the desktop first loads. How can I fix this?
[07:02] <cdm101> Hi - how do I edit Grub 2's settings to make the menu delay shorter?
[07:02] <allowoverride> askvictor: lol ok thats true... i like to do scp's here and there when i think a possible fail will occur, or somethin havent done b4
[07:02] <allowoverride> Ben64: i havent had a chance to check out my other box yet, i been typing to you
[07:02] <allowoverride> sheshhh
[07:02] <allowoverride> bbiab
[07:02] <cdm101> corinth: It's not asking for your sudo password, it's asking for your keyring password -- as far as I know, it's not possible to get around this, although setting your keyring password to blank may work. I have never tried this, though.
[07:03] <dnivra> cdm101: set timeout in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. that's what you need i guess.
[07:04] <corinth> Right, cdm101. Keyring. There's no way around this...? o_O
[07:04] <cdm101> dnivra: there's a fairly giant "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE" comment at the top... is there somewhere I'm supposed to edit?
[07:04] <_Techie_> cdm101, corinth, research pam and figure out how to get that to pass the password through
[07:04] <dnivra> cdm101: back up the grub.cfg JUST IN CASE. and there's a set timeout=10. Think that's what you need to edit.
[07:04] <Flannel> cdm101, dnivra: if you install startupmanager its got a GUI for most GRUB2 things
[07:04] <cdm101> _Techie_: pam DOES pass the password through -- the problem is that he has his system set up to not require the password.
[07:05] <cdm101> Flannel: Really? I thought that disappeared with Grub 1. Thank you.
[07:05] <Flannel> dnivra, cdm101: no, grub.cfg gets automatically generated, any edits you make will be lost.  It's some file in /etc/grub/ you need to edit (or use startupmanager)
[07:05] <_Techie_> cdm101, corinth, research pam and figure out how to get that to pass the password through
[07:05] <Flannel> or maybe /etc/grub2/ whatever the path is
[07:05] <bbalajirao> Hello Room.
[07:06] <_Techie_> karmic isnt detecting my USB mouse @ boot is this bug fixed in one of the updates
[07:06] <bbalajirao> How do I disable Ubuntu One?
[07:06] <cdm101> _Techie_: you just said that. If you have some sorta amendment to what you said, you could say that.
[07:06] <Mefached> How do I prevent Ubuntu from installing things from Apt with a config file already made? I'd prefer to configure everything myself.
[07:06] <cdm101> _Techie_: the password is not stored in plaintext... the computer does not KNOW the password.
[07:06] <_Techie_> sorry cdm101 hit the up arrow to repeat my problem, and didnt hit it enough times
[07:06] <cdm101> _Techie_: alright :)
[07:07] <cdm101> Flannel: thanks for the heads-up about startupmanager
[07:07] <DNS777> mefached: download the source code and compile on your own
[07:07] <Dday> My sound doesn't work
[07:07] <Mefached> DNS777: That would defeat the entire purpose of having a package manager like apt-get
[07:07] <roger21> Mefached, if you have a custom config file, apt detects it and ask you what to do
[07:08] <DNS777> cool
[07:08] <DNS777> i didnt know
[07:08] <Flannel> Mefached: You don't (the config file will be part of the package) just gut those config files and start over if that's really what you want
[07:08] <evon> i cannot connect to my wireless network anymore.  Windows can connect to the network but mint can't. I have the same problem on my laptop.  Can anyone help?
[07:08] <Mefached> Flannel: Where are they? I can't recall where they're placed.
[07:08] <asphix> I have Karmic Koala. Soundcard: SoundblasterLive.. when using digital output, sound stammers. It is a pulseaudio issue. Any idea?
[07:08] <Flannel> Mefached: Config files? they're all in /etc/
[07:08] <ardchoille> evon: you're in Linux mint? You need to be in their support channel
[07:08] <Mefached> Flannel: Thank you.
[07:09] <Dday> Does anyone know how to get sound working in ubuntu?
[07:09] <evon> ardchoille: tried them and no help. Besides i have the exact same problem on my ubuntu machine where I was talking to you from before
[07:10] <ardchoille> evon: We don't support Mint here
[07:10] <DNS777> dday, what is not working exactly?
[07:10] <evon> ardchoille: i need help for my ubuntu machine. which i am not using right now
[07:10] <evon> ardchoille: it's right beside me
[07:10] <tomcyl> hi all
[07:10] <Dday> I can't hear any sound DNS777, it worked perfectly when i was on 9.04. But since upgrading to 9.10 it no longer owrks
[07:10] <friendishan> how do i edit the /etc/network/interfaces file
[07:10] <Mefached> ardchoille: Except that Mint is just Ubuntu with things added. If you don't support Mint, then do you only support users with GNOME immediately after install, or what? Doesn't Mint use the same kernel and everything?
[07:11] <tomcyl> can someone tell me how to install my wireless driver?
[07:11] <evon> friendishan: sudo gedit
[07:11] <ardchoille> Mefached: We don't support Mint here
[07:11] <friendishan> evon thanks
[07:12] <evon> tomcyl: go to "hardware drivers" i think it's in preferences or administration
[07:12] <Mefached> ardchoille: That's really amusing, actually, since #slackware has no problem supporting Zenwalk and Vector. I thought Ubuntu was the friendly community, eh?
[07:12] <tomcyl> what i mean , it worked before
[07:12] <DNS777> dday: maybe you can change the driver, click on the speaker in your taskbar on the top right, with right mouse button, choose settings, and check the hardware tab
[07:12] <evon> ardchoille: if you can help i'd appreciate it. i need it for my ubuntu machine.
[07:12] <ardchoille> Mefached: Perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic is a better venue for this?
[07:12] <Dday> hardware tab is empty DNS777
[07:13] <DNS777> oops
[07:13] <woodyjlw> is there anyway to get ubuntu to create a live usb that is not a ubunt iso ?
[07:13]  * askvictor sometimes sneaks into #debian to ask ubuntu-related questions, and vice versa, but keeps quiet about it
[07:13] <sweetandy> UBUNTU SUCKS
[07:13] <sweetandy> >_>
[07:13] <sweetandy> <_<
[07:13] <FloodBot3> sweetandy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:13] <Mefached> askvictor: If you just ask the question, usually people won't even notice. They're always so anal about providing support for distros that are pretty much exactly the same.
[07:13] <ardchoille> !ops | sweetandy
[07:13] <Scott__> dnivira check pm
[07:13] <andrew_46> Mefached: Strictly speaking the slackware channel is at ##slackware :)
[07:14] <evon> ardchoille: ok now i am on my ubuntu machine. you happy now?
[07:14] <Mefached> andrew_46: Heh, yeah, I just never bother with ## since I'm redirected, etc
[07:14] <askvictor> Mefached: I know. That's why I keep quiet about it
[07:14] <arma_grada> hi
[07:14] <andrew_46> Mefached: I will acknowledge it is a small point :)
[07:14] <DNS777> dday look in your query
[07:15] <arma_grada> hi
[07:15] <brenley> is it possible to do remote management with ubuntu?
[07:15] <evon> can anyone help me with my wireless card? i cannot connect to any detected networks.  I am able to connect these networks from windows but no ubuntu.
[07:15] <Mefached> evon: What's the card?
[07:15] <askvictor> brenley: what do you mean by remote management?
[07:16] <kheera> brenley: yes. look into vnc and ssh and the two together.
[07:16] <evon> Mefached: it's a broadcom chipset
[07:16] <brenley> askvictor: have someone access my laptop remotely and fix a problem for me...
[07:16] <evon> Mefached: i can see networks but not connect
[07:16] <firefitrwife> ok this may seem like a really stupid question but I'm having trouble with flash. Everything can play, but i cannot control it once it starts (pausing and whatnot)
[07:16] <Mefached> evon: I have a BCM4306 in my laptop. The restricted hardware recommended driver worked fine.
[07:16] <tomcyl> ok, what about change my screen resolution?
[07:16] <Mefached> evon: Are you using the right driver?
[07:17] <SaBot> can a minimal install deal with sata ahci drives? this install is going extremely slow
[07:17] <_Techie_> karmic isnt detecting my USB mouse @ boot is this bug fixed in one of the updates
[07:17] <evon> Mefached: well it was working up to 2 days ago and I've never had a problem before
[07:17] <askvictor> brenley: yes. If you're not behind a firewall, you could just go System->Prefs->Remote Desktop
[07:17] <evon> Mefached: so i am assuming yes
[07:17] <Mefached> evon: That's very strange. Have you upgraded distro version recently? I'm still on 9.04.
[07:18] <ardchoille> Mefached: perhaps Mint does something slightely different than Ubuntu does and that is the reason for the problem?
[07:18] <evon> Mefached: it was working even after i upgraded
[07:18] <Mefached> ardchoille: The person said the problem was repeated on the Ubuntu machine, and again, I assume #ubuntu supports users who don't use GNOME, right?
[07:19] <tomcyl> can someone tell me how to change my screen resolution?
[07:19] <evon> ardchoille: my goodness man i said that i have the same problem on my ubuntu machine that i am using right now
[07:19] <Mefached> evon: Then I'm forced to assume it's a hardware issue if nothing has been changed.
[07:19] <evon> Mefached: but a hardware issue on both computers at the same time?
[07:19] <evon> Mefached: i would have concluded an ubuntu issue
[07:19] <firefitrwife> tomcyl System > Preferences > Display
[07:20] <evon> Mefached: maybe i'll try reinstalling my drivers
[07:20] <Mefached> evon: It's more likely, to me, that there would be a double hardware fault than that a lack of changes in software would cause different results.
[07:20] <Mefached> evon: Try that. See if it works.
[07:20] <tomcyl> thanks
[07:20] <firefitrwife> no prob
[07:21] <evon> Mefached: but yet the same hardware works fine in windows on both machines
[07:21] <tomcyl> but my dont have Preferences > Display
[07:21] <Mefached> evon: Oh. I didn't see that.
[07:21] <evon> Mefached: hehe
[07:21] <firefitrwife> what are you running?
[07:23] <bigd1> Hi, I have set up a network with samba.  I there a way to allow my client system to mount the drive of my server system?  I need to see the whole drive not just one or two directories.
[07:24] <jaki_> ce__EmoooT
[07:24] <bigd1> hemp me
[07:24] <tomcyl> i runing ubnutu
[07:24] <bigd1> me too, ubuntu
[07:24] <firefitrwife> which version?
[07:24] <bigd1> 9.04
[07:24] <_Techie_> karmic isnt detecting my USB mouse @ boot is this bug fixed in one of the updates
[07:24] <tomcyl> how to check?
[07:24] <firefitrwife> System > About Ubuntu
[07:25] <ardchoille> tomcyl: lsb_release -CS
[07:25] <tomcyl> 8.10
[07:25] <tomcyl> too old?
[07:25] <firefitrwife> no
[07:25] <tomcyl> so?
[07:26] <bigd1> How do I mount a drive from a client system to my server.  I want to use the drive in the second system in the file system of the first.  does that make sense?
[07:26] <SnakDoc> bigd1: look up nfs
[07:26] <Ce__EmoooT> ce___EmoooooT
[07:27] <bigd1> snakedoc I am using somba
[07:27] <SnakDoc> then just share the drive
[07:27] <firefitrwife> have you tried .config/monitors.xml?
[07:27] <SnakDoc> you do that in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[07:27] <bigd1> SnakDoc: do I need to use nfs instead of samba?
[07:28] <SnakDoc> samba works with windows so your choice
[07:28] <firefitrwife> or you can take the xrandr route
[07:28] <tomcyl> they also call Gnome 2.24.1?
[07:28] <bigd1> firefitrwife: what is xrandr?  diff protocal?
[07:29] <SnakDoc> bigd1:  u mounting this on windows or another linux machine
[07:29] <bigd1> SnakDoc: windows
[07:29] <maco> bigd1: a command for on-the-fly reconfiguring X
[07:29] <SnakDoc> so share on windows ? or wanting to mount on windows
[07:30] <firefitrwife> tom do you know what you want it set to? if so then
[07:30] <brenley> i need someone to help me get rid of a package called flashplugin-nonfree.  i have done everything scott___ told me to do but nothing seems to work
[07:30] <bigd1> I want to see my windows drive in my linux file manager.  if i could go the other way also that would be good.
[07:31] <tomcyl> what you you mean by config/monitors.xml?
[07:31] <firefitrwife> $ xrandr --output LVDS --mode ####x###
[07:31] <SnakDoc> bigd1: you can do both but wouldn't share whole file system
[07:31] <firefitrwife> at the end being the resolution you want
[07:31] <askvictor> bigd1: you'd have to share the entire drive under windows = big security risk
[07:31] <SnakDoc> bigd1: also samba is what you need. are you wanting this to mount on every boot ?
[07:31] <sreekumar> hello, i am a begginer
[07:32] <bigd1> SnakDoc: idealy yes, I would like to mount on everyboot.
[07:32] <bigd1> Askvictor, why is it a security risk?
[07:32] <nomad77> !swat
[07:32] <SnakDoc> bigd1: anyone has access to it more and likey depends on your settings
[07:32] <SnakDoc> but never good idea
[07:33] <firefitrwife> tom did you get that last command ?
[07:33] <tomcyl> i dont get it
[07:33] <bigd1> when you say anyone, do you mean anyone on the network?
[07:33] <askvictor> bigd1: windows is a security risk in itself. Having the entire drive shared makes it worse. If know what you're doing, and can lock it down it should be OK.
[07:33] <DNS777> dday did it work?
[07:33] <chu_> hey guys, just playing around with the main-menu applet, and I'm wondering if it's possible to remove the menu icon? I can change it, but I would rather remove it. I've looked through gconf a bit, but I'm probably in the wrong place. Any help would be appreciated.
[07:33] <bigd1> there are only two system on the net work.. and both are mine.. where is the security risk?
[07:34] <firefitrwife> type xrandr in the command
[07:34] <tomcyl> it  too hard to change screen resolution
[07:34] <SnakDoc> bigd1: over the internet could be
[07:34] <firefitrwife> that will give you your mins, max, and current
[07:35] <firefitrwife>  xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 for example wouldd be the command to change it to 1024x768
[07:35] <tomcyl> i need my  screen resolution change please
[07:35] <quietone> chu_: which icon do you mean?
[07:35] <bigd1> SnakDoc: ok, yea of course on the internet, but both systems are connected to a router.  the router has a firewall.   is that still dangerous?
[07:35] <firefitrwife> i'm sorry
[07:35] <SnakDoc> bigd1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[07:36] <chu_> quietone, I'm using the Mist gtk theme, so the icon for me is a small green tick. Normally it would be an Ubuntu logo (or perhaps a gnome foot, etc). It's the icon to the left of the Applications | Places | System menu
[07:36] <tomcyl> where i input the command?
[07:36] <firefitrwife> in the terminal
[07:37] <firefitrwife> applications > Accesories > terminal
[07:37] <firefitrwife> if you're not used to the shortcuts thats where you can visually find it
[07:37] <SnakDoc> bigd1: i am no expert in security just idea of whole system scares me i would go more for shared folder and symbloic link to things u want to share
[07:37] <quietone> chu_: ah, sorry I can't help.
[07:38] <tomcyl> just typing  xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768?
[07:38] <dethray> Why does the new default audio mixer in 9.10 suck so hard? ;p
[07:38] <tomcyl> it dont change!
[07:38] <George_E> How do you restart apache in Ubuntu.
[07:39] <Flannel> George_E: sudo service apache2 restart
[07:39] <askvictor> George_E: or sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[07:39] <askvictor> depending on your version
[07:39] <_Techie_> George_E, or via apachectl
[07:39] <_Techie_> George_E, or via apachectl*
[07:39] <firefitrwife> that command is if you want it at 124x768  change the last numbers to your monitor resolution
[07:39] <Flannel> _Techie_: No, you don't want to use apachectl
[07:40] <_Techie_> Flannel, whats wrong with apachectl
[07:41] <quietone> dethray: do you mean the sound preferences that pop up when you click on the speaker icon?
[07:41] <George_E> Thanks. How can I allow access to subfolders of /var/www in Apache?
[07:41] <sreekumar> set permissions
[07:41] <Flannel> _Techie_: That's what the init script/services uses.  It's another abstraction layer lower
[07:41] <tomcyl> thanks anyway
[07:42] <dethray> Well I can't get my dang headphones working and have the external speakers mute...using the old mixer I could...
[07:42] <_Techie_> Flannel, thanks for clearing that up
[07:42] <sreekumar> whats the best commandline IM in ubuntu?
[07:42] <dethray> The new mixer has like no options
[07:42] <Flannel> sreekumar: Try centerim, or bitlbee + IRC client
[07:42] <indus> Flannel: those work for yahoo etc?
[07:42] <sreekumar> thanks flannel
[07:43] <quietone> dethray: I think we are in agreement. Now when I watch a movie from my PC, alert messages come through the HDMI very, very loud. a real nuisance to me and the family.
[07:43] <Flannel> indus: They're supposed to, yes.  If yahoo has tweaked its protocol again to mess up third parties, I don't know if they've been fixed yet.
[07:43] <dethray> Gah, that really sucks
[07:43] <dethray> :(
[07:45] <dethray> Gonna try and revert bck to the old mixer
[07:45] <quietone> dethray: I'd be happy to revert to the 9.04 version, but I don't know how. Seems like you know how. Please tell me!
[07:46] <sreekumar> centerm
[07:47] <^Ocean^> can i write a norton ghost image useing DD to a hard disk ?
[07:47] <aperson> is there a way to tell which repository is 404'ing from the terminal?
[07:47] <aperson> when I'm updating apt, that is
[07:47] <SnakDoc> aperson: should be in scrolling text
[07:48] <aperson> SnakDoc, it tells me that there is one, not which
[07:49] <aperson> or if it is, it's not telling me the full url
[07:49] <tomcyl> i got it , it call screen resolution! but somebody can tell me why this screen can not change resolution? i have  2 same screen.
[07:50] <SnakDoc> aperson: are you running any 3rd party repos just ran update on jaunty system and all was fine

[07:51] <aperson> SnakDoc, I just want to know how to positively id a 404'ing repo
[07:51] <SnakDoc> aperson: it should list and hang at the server
[07:52] <aperson> SnakDoc, ppa.launcpad.net isn't very helpful
[07:52] <codezer0> help with running webgoat on ubuntu
[07:52] <tomcyl> i need to restart
[07:52] <aperson> SnakDoc, as I already said, it may be stopping on the specific repo, but it isn't giving me the full url of it, thus not letting me know which one is erroring
[07:54] <aperson> I'm short of trying to wget the Release file on all of them
[07:54] <SnakDoc> whats name of the one crashing ? then aperson
[07:54] <aperson> SnakDoc, that's besides the point
[07:54] <Dday> after moving from ubuntu 9.04-9.10 my sound no longer works, does anyone know what i should do?
[07:55] <aperson> I can open up the software sources gui and find it out when I update them there, but that's not how I want to do it
[07:55] <aperson> I want to not have to open up a gui to find it
[07:55] <SaBot> Im trying to install ubuntu-minimal and I just get a kernel panic o_O It cant read the file system of the previous installation I want to write over
[07:55] <SnakDoc> aperson: i use apt-get and it hangs when it hits bad repo
[07:56] <SnakDoc> SaBot: you should have a package manger also to  install what you want
[07:56] <sreekumar> how do i configure centerim with gmail?
[07:56] <sreekumar> how do i configure centerim with gmail?
[07:57] <aperson> SnakDoc, yes, it stops on one, but it doesn't give the full url of it
[07:57] <SaBot> SnakDoc: package manager? I dont even have linux working
[07:57] <aperson> SnakDoc, thus making me unable to tell what repo it specifically is
[07:57] <xim_> what does it mean when my xwindows freezes solid (even the system clock) for excatly 13 seconds every few minutes while watching a movie in any program?
[07:57] <SnakDoc> SaBot: i know there are a lot of how to for that
[07:58] <sreekumar> anybody please help me to configure centerim with gmail
[07:58] <aperson> SaBot, maybe format the system first with a gparted disc?
[07:58] <SaBot> I just tried :(
[07:58] <Flannel> sreekumar: gmail?
[07:59] <sreekumar> yeah gmail
[07:59] <quietone> Dday: have you tried the forums, lots of helpful 'how to's are there
[07:59] <Flannel> sreekumar: You want to check your email?
[07:59] <Flannel> I don't think you can
[07:59] <SnakDoc> aperson: how is that not full url ?
[07:59] <sreekumar> i mean i need to chat with ma friends over gmail via this centerim
[08:00] <aperson> SnakDoc, for example http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages is NOT the full url
[08:00] <sreekumar> ?
[08:01] <frostdefrost> hello
[08:01] <aperson> !hi | frostdefrost
[08:01] <indus> aperson: what are you searching
[08:01] <Flannel> sreekumar: Oh, google chat.  That's jabber, uh, I'm sure there's a page with the details of server and stuff, let me look
[08:01] <sreekumar> ok.....
[08:02] <indus> google talk is xmpp no?
[08:02] <frostdefrost> does ubuntu/netbook remix come with VLC pre-installed?
[08:02] <aperson> indus, I want to be able to tell what repo apt errors on.  It doesn't state the full url when it stops on one.
[08:02] <indus> jabber is also
[08:02] <Solorvox> hey guys, I'm still trying to get my digital tablet (drawing) to work.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/498008 If anyone could help that would be great!  BTW, 9.10 sees it as a usbhid device, clicks just don't work.
[08:02] <Flannel> sreekumar: http://www.centerim.org/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#How_to_use_CenterIM_with_GTalk_.2F_Google_Talk_.3F
[08:02] <aperson> frostdefrost, no, but it's easy to install
[08:02] <SnakDoc> aperson: if i not mistaken http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/
[08:02] <Flannel> sreekumar: You don't need to edit the config file, you can do it through centerim too (the fields are found under the jabber account type))
[08:03] <frostdefrost> yes it's easy if you have an internet connection, but for an offline not\
[08:03] <sreekumar> thanks Flannel
[08:03] <aperson> SnakDoc, no
[08:03] <SnakDoc> aperson: why is that not correct
[08:04] <kenpark> !enter | frostdefrost
[08:04] <aperson> SnakDoc, http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementarydesktop/ppa/ubuntu would be a full url
[08:05] <aperson> SnakDoc, but the error would only show http://ppa.launchpad.net/ thus it *isn't* correct
[08:05] <SaBot> Yeah, I just tried reinstalling again
[08:05] <SnakDoc> aperson: i don't know ur system and what you have added
[08:05] <SaBot> "No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext3 ext4 etc etc"
[08:05] <aperson> SnakDoc, again. that is besides the point
[08:06] <aperson> Snadder, the point is: apt doesn't report the full url of the repo it errors on
[08:06] <SaBot> Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown block(8,1)
[08:06] <SnakDoc> aperson: how does full url help you anyway ?
[08:06] <SaBot> I cant install this
[08:06] <frostdefrost> ubottu, don't joke now, i'm trying to find some info.
[08:06] <SaBot> :/
[08:06] <kontagious> i edited songs on my ipod from rhythmbox and when i use the ipod it says no songs but when i connect it rhythmbox can still see them. any ideas?
[08:06] <aperson> SnakDoc, because that'd be the reop that is 404'ing...
[08:06] <aperson> repo*
[08:06] <sreekumar> its ok nw....Flannel... configured
[08:06] <xim_> what does it mean when my xwindows freezes solid (even the system clock) for excatly 13 seconds every few minutes while watching a movie in any program?
[08:07] <SnakDoc> aperson: i do this if i got that message sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
[08:07] <frogzoo> xim_: cpu & ram?
[08:07] <SnakDoc> and that doesn't work i try later may be a short downtime
[08:08] <aperson> SnakDoc, that just ignore the bad repos
[08:10] <Miansc> Today I installed kubuntu deskptop.... how do I get rid of it? it still shows up when i turn on my computer, it makes me login when before I didint need to.
[08:10] <ardchoille> !puregnome | Miansc
[08:11] <kontagious> i edited songs on my ipod from rhythmbox and when i use the ipod it says no songs but when i connect it rhythmbox can still see them. any ideas?
[08:11] <aperson> that sounds like the opposite
[08:11] <Miansc> thanks.
[08:11] <melik> how can i list all the packages installed on my ubuntu system
[08:11] <aperson> oh, nevermind
[08:11] <Miansc> gnome's hard to use :D

[08:12] <ruge> hi folks
[08:12] <ruge> would ubuntu run fine on P4 3.0Ghz processor and 512mb ram?
[08:12] <Miansc> I also have edununtu, how do I get rid of that ardchoille
[08:13] <andrew_46> ruge: I run it on less :)
[08:13] <ruge> o rly
[08:13] <ruge> awesome
[08:13] <ruge> could i use WINE to run Adobe apps?
[08:13] <ardchoille> Miansc: no idea, never used it
[08:13] <aperson> ruge, I run it on a 1ghz with 1gb or ram and it runs fine
[08:13] <z987k> having a wireless problem
[08:13] <nnnnn> ruge i wouldn't try that
[08:13] <Miansc> ok cool.
[08:13] <aperson> ruge, you'd have to look that up in the wine compatibility db
[08:13] <ruge> sure
[08:14] <Miansc> What are your thoughts on kubuntu and ubuntu?
[08:14] <dnivra> ruge: search for adobe applications that are there for ubuntu. acrobat reader is there for ubuntu.
[08:14] <ruge> its just that
[08:14] <Miansc> Why dont people prefer kubuntu, seems easier to use.
[08:14] <ruge> i spent money on flash books
[08:14] <z987k> did a min install of 8.04 with icewm, but wlan0 is not showing up, lshw -C shows it is there, the restricted modules are installed and it's a madwifi card
[08:14] <aperson> Miansc, that's more of a question for #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:14] <ruge> i dont want them to go to waste XD
[08:14] <Miansc> sorry
[08:14] <Miansc> just wanted to hear peoples thoughts
[08:14] <aperson> ruge, if it doesn't run in wine, it'll run in a virtual machine
[08:15] <ruge> hmm
[08:15] <ruge> virtualbox XP machine with only 512mb ram..
[08:15] <wiehan> Hi, I've been using ubuntu for 2-3 years now. And I have barely ever experienced any "freezes", but this last week my ubuntu has been freezing 3+ times a day. I have no idea what is causing this, and have NO IDEA how to diagnose this. Please, I'm no expert, but have tried many things - I have scanned my hard drives for bad secotrs (that was fine) I have tried looking for a pattern in the freezing - but couldn't find any. What should I do?
[08:15] <wiehan>  I feel like I'm using Windows again ;-)
[08:16] <z987k> wiehan, look at your sysconfig after the crash
[08:16] <ruge> wonder if a lot of web and graphic designer use ubuntu..
[08:16] <aperson> wiehan, I can't be sure, but I had random freezes, and running e2fsck -cc on my drives fixed it
[08:16] <andrew_46> ruge: virtualbox experience is always better with a lot of ram
[08:16] <z987k> er syslog sorry
[08:17] <z987k> yeah and e2fsck -cc helps if you have bad sectors on your hard drive
[08:17] <wiehan> z987k - I tried that, but I have no idea what is going on there, don't know where to start.
[08:17] <z987k> well what does it say right after the crash(they are timestamped)
[08:17] <xim_> frogzoo: plenty of free cpu and ram according to my monitors, its always a 13 second freeze every time, i know becuase it freezes the clock and i can see the number that comes right after
[08:17] <wiehan> z987k - But you can't run e2fsck -cc on a mounted filesystem? And At this stage I only have on hdd in my PC
[08:18] <aperson> wiehan, live are what you should be running the checks from
[08:18] <aperson> livecds*
[08:18] <z987k> wiehan, livecd/usb/ect
[08:18] <guntbert> wiehan: my first thought: a memory stick gone bad - run memtest
[08:18] <wiehan> z987k - I honestly did that at least 4 times when the crashes started, and There was no problem and no improvement...
[08:19] <z987k> -cc ?
[08:19] <aperson> when running memtest, I've always been recommended to run on each stick of ram individually
[08:19] <radioclass> re all
[08:19] <radioclass> vrun roman pe aici?
[08:19] <radioclass> :D
[08:19] <guntbert> wiehan: but be sure to run the complete test (most errors only show up late in the process)
[08:20] <wiehan> z987k i think I ran e2fsck -pcvf or somethin similar...
[08:20] <guntbert> !ro | radioclass
[08:20] <SnakDoc> aperson: how many test you let it run and why seperate ? i would only do that to find stick with issue if one was found
[08:20] <z987k> do 2 c's
[08:20] <z987k> it's a rw instead of ro
[08:20] <SnakDoc> aperson: also what if you run dual channel memmeory
[08:21] <aperson> SnakDoc, that's just what I've been told, I'd imagine it would be the easiest way to find a single bad stick
[08:21] <z987k> wiehan, e2fsck -fcc
[08:21] <aperson> SnakDoc, not to mention memtest takes forever
[08:22] <wiehan> Ok, except for e2fsck and memtest, what else can I do, so that I don't have to come bother you guys again...
[08:22] <z987k> check syslog, should be something there right after is crashed
[08:22] <melik> would anybody be interested in helping me test a script out?
[08:22] <aperson> wiehan, other than the normal fsck?
[08:22] <aperson> !anybody
[08:23] <melik> its a simple python script.
[08:23] <Curly_Q> What brand of memory stick are you folks using?
[08:23] <z987k> I have a wireless issure, I did a min install of 8.04 with icewm, but wlan0 is not showing up, lshw -C shows it is there, the restricted modules are installed and it's a madwifi card
[08:23] <SnakDoc> aperson: it does take for ever i always heard to let run more than 9 passes took me 7 - 8 hours for just 2 gb
[08:25] <Curly_Q> SnackDoc are you referring to a flash drive?
[08:25] <mihu> Can anybody with a Radeon graphics card on Ubuntu 9.10 please help me out? Can you run "v4l-conf" (it's in package v4l-conf) and report the output to me? I get bogus values from the DGA support and want to pinpoint the problem. Thanks!
[08:26] <SnakDoc> Curly_Q: was talking about running memtest
[08:26] <Miansc> how do i remove kde again?
[08:26] <Miansc> ! kde
[08:26] <Miansc> ! gnome
[08:26] <Sacho> !puregnome | Miansc
[08:26] <Miansc> thats the one.
[08:26] <aperson> !purgegnome > Miansc
[08:26] <Sacho> Miansc: you can also /msg ubottu when looking for help :)
[08:27] <Sacho> *from it
[08:27] <quietone> help /msg
[08:27] <Miansc> lol k
[08:27] <aperson> and we can also pm the stuff to the user instead of sending it to the channel :P
[08:27] <Curly_Q> I see SnackDoc. I bought a Sandisk 64 Gig memory stick and found out that it was a counterfeit stick. It has a tendency to crash and assign bogus hashed characters.
[08:27] <Sacho> I didn't know! (:
[08:27] <Miansc> so I installed some python ides and im ready to learn.
[08:27] <Curly_Q> Kingston flash drive.
[08:28] <Miansc> What things cna you make in python? can you make something like an audio convertor?
[08:28] <Miansc> or player.
[08:28] <aperson> !ot
[08:28] <aperson> Miansc, I'd ask #python
[08:29] <wgrant> Miansc: You can make just about anything in any serious programming language
[08:29] <Miansc> Ok.
[08:29] <SnakDoc> Miansc: python is made for gluing apps together and fast programming not realtime apps
[08:29] <Miansc> I dont understand though, how the command line can be powerfull?
[08:29] <Miansc> Ohh..
[08:30] <aperson> SnakDoc, I'd argue that is a matter of opinion
[08:30] <aperson> but again, this isn't the place for this discussion :)
[08:30] <wgrant> Miansc: Why wouldn't the command line be powerful?
[08:30] <SnakDoc> aperson: run python doing gui conversion then run c++ doing gui conversion u will see c++ is faster
[08:30] <Miansc> how do users open files in it?
[08:30] <SnakDoc> aperson: sorry for being off topic
[08:31] <Sacho> Miansc: what does "opening" a file mean?
[08:31] <Miansc> how can they select thing.
[08:31] <Solorvox> hey guys, I'm still trying to get my digital tablet (drawing) to work.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/498008 If anyone could help that would be great! 9.10 sees it as a usbhid device, clicks just don't work.  wacdump shows it's working (pressure too)
[08:31] <Miansc> like eg, converting an mp3.
[08:31] <Curly_Q> Just curious, has anyone here used any professional programs in Ubuntu that compares with Adobe After effects and Acronis?
[08:31] <robert__> Is there any way I can delete the windows bootloader from one of my hard drives? It remains there from a previous installation, and I don't want it to show up in GRUB.
[08:31] <ardchoille> Miansc: You should see this page: http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/08/command-line-cheatsheet.html
[08:31] <aperson> Miansc, that all depends on the programs you use/have installed
[08:32] <Miansc> uggh.
[08:32] <dnivra> robert__: you can remove the entries from GRUB
[08:32] <SnakDoc> Miansc: google google and start off simple btw
[08:32] <nnnnn> robert, a safer way is just to modify the grub list
[08:32] <Miansc> yep
[08:32] <robert__> nnnnn: I looked at the grub.cfg file but it says specifically DO NOT EDIT, so I was weary.
[08:32] <SnakDoc> Curly_Q: dd works for Acronis
[08:32] <z987k> anyone help me with my networking problem?
[08:32] <nnnnn> robert, well i haven't ever editied it for reasons like that... but if it bothers you that much
[08:33] <Curly_Q> Thanks SnacDoc. I love Acronis for Windows.
[08:33] <robert__> nnnnn: I'll save a backup, I suppose.
[08:33] <robert__> nnnnn: Thanks.
[08:33] <nnnnn> you may not beable to open your system if you deleate some entrys thats why
[08:33] <SnakDoc> Curly_Q: dd command line and lets you do lots of imaging type task can even burn cd's with it very powerful
[08:33] <aperson>  /etc/default/grub would be the place to edit
[08:33] <Curly_Q> SnacDoc will DD copy NTFS Windows like Acronis?
[08:33] <Miansc> I want to make visual python apps... anyway is there some sort of book/tut that has like python projects? in stead of just learning it, u make usefull thing.
[08:34] <aperson> Curly_Q, dd will copy a disc regardless of what's on it
[08:34] <Curly_Q> Nice.
[08:34] <aperson> Miansc, take it to #python
[08:34] <Miansc> I reckon its a betetr way of learning, like MVSC++ for beginers ebook
[08:34] <aperson> Miansc, this channel is for ubuntu support only
[08:34] <SnakDoc> Curly_Q: far as i know long as you can mount it dd will copy it
[08:34] <dnivra> Miansc: head to #python. this is for ubuntu support only:).
[08:35] <Curly_Q> Well that is a good point SnacDoc. Mounting is an issue in my past with Linux.
[08:35] <X-Seti> ban audra, * DCC RECV MOTHER_SPANKS_CHILD_RATHER_HARD.MPEG
[08:35] <Miansc> yes i heard the 3rd time
[08:35] <aperson> SnakDoc, you don't eve have to be able to mount it :)
[08:35] <X-Seti> i think its about time I stop using this server.
[08:35] <chu_> hey, don't suppose anyone is using the Mist theme for gnome? I just screwed up and lost my menu picture, does anyone know wheree the icon is located for Mist?
[08:35] <aperson> X-Seti, it's an attack on freenode :/
[08:35] <X-Seti> yeah I know
[08:35] <hacover> aperson, which host does the #python reside?
[08:36] <mihu> Can anybody with a Radeon graphics card on Ubuntu 9.10 please help me out? Can you run "v4l-conf" (it's in package v4l-conf) and report the output to me? I get bogus values from the DGA support and want to pinpoint the problem. You don't need to have a Video4Linux device to run this test, just a Radeon grahics card. Thanks!
[08:36] <Sacho> X-Seti: it's a good exercise for your personal spam protection ^_^
[08:36] <aperson> hacover, If I was meaning another server, I would have mentioned it :P
[08:36]  * X-Seti closes all the 20 dcc windows

[08:36] <mneptok> X-Seti: "Audra" is not in this channel
[08:36] <aperson> X-Seti, ignore dcc requests and you won't have a problem
[08:36] <hacover> aperson, because i cant connect on irc.freenode.net on mIRC
[08:36] <wgrant> X-Seti: That was dealt with some time ago.
[08:36] <X-Seti> maybe they should disable the users command
[08:36] <X-Seti> or who 0 0
[08:36] <wgrant> hacover: You are on freenode now.
[08:36] <aperson> hacover, well, you're on it now...?
[08:37] <Sacho> Johnaha: /join #python
[08:37] <mneptok> Johnaha: hi Miansc. you're still offtopic.
[08:37] <BlouBlou> hacover: Does mIRC gives you any error?
[08:37] <Johnaha> I thought i did

[08:40] <superpiiii> is there a special ubuntu version for KVM?
[08:40] <infoclog> BlouBlou: but i installed Ubuntu not Kubuntu.
[08:40] <wgrant> superpiiii: KVM the virtualisation technology?
[08:40] <superpiiii> wgrant, yes
[08:41] <BlouBlou> infoclog: But you said K series, so did you install KDE after installing ubuntu?
[08:41] <wgrant> superpiiii: No. Just install the virtualisation software of your choice -- virt-manager, for example.
[08:41] <c_nick> aperson: nope still not working
[08:41] <infoclog> BlouBlou: K series means Kaoli or however it is called
[08:41] <superpiiii> wgrant, I heard that there is a special release of Ubuntu designed for the use of KVM
[08:41] <infoclog> BlouBlou: no i did not installe KDE
[08:41] <wgrant> superpiiii: There's not.
[08:41] <superpiiii> which is minimal install
[08:41] <BlouBlou> infoclog: Okay, I understood Kubuntu
[08:42] <wgrant> infoclog: You mean Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala"?
[08:42] <aperson> superpiiii, nothing official
[08:42] <superpiiii> wgrant, what is the alternate install? what is it?
[08:42] <mneptok> superpiiii: text mode installer

[08:45] <BlouBlou> infoclog: DId you try using "startx" command?
[08:45] <infoclog> wgrant:  i reformatted the entire disk and installed Kubuntu and there is no problem with the CRT monitor anymore. So  I think there is a problem with the X.org packages provided by Karmic
[08:45] <infoclog> BlouBlou: yes.., I did Ctrl Alt F1 and then logged in and then typed startx.
[08:45] <c_nick> how to install the Gclock and GWeather Applet

[08:48] <wgrant> BlouBlou: That is about the last option that you should give.

[08:50] <BlouBlou> wgrant: I never had any problems with that
[08:50] <wgrant> BlouBlou: Not for core things like that which will break in horrible ways, no.
[08:50] <aqw> hi to all,smbclient -L host gives output as Connection to host failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
[08:51] <BlouBlou> wgrant: In my opinion it's not very "horrible" option, he always can do apt-get upgrade and reinstall new packet
[08:51] <c_nick> firefox still keeps on telling me "Application installed.. but your SQlite is too old"
[08:51] <c_nick> i installed sqlite3 and sqlite from the PM

[08:52] <wgrant> nnnnn: Of what?
[08:52] <wgrant> c_nick: Which Firefox?
[08:52] <c_nick> firefox 3.5
[08:52] <wgrant> I mean, how did you install it?
[08:52] <nnnnn> ubuntu all i seem to find is suport packages for sale
[08:52] <c_nick> i did not install anything its the default one on the desktop
[08:52] <wgrant> nnnnn: Canonical has never sold the software itself.
[08:52] <nahia> gooke2: i mean
[08:52] <c_nick> i thought it was refering to the old folder back there in the home.. so i deleted that folder.. now it says.. this
[08:53] <dethray> Has anyone here purged pulseaudio from 9.10 and have the volume control working in the taskpanel?
[08:53] <nahia> i had a dual boot machine
[08:53] <wgrant> c_nick: Pastebin the complete error message.
[08:53] <wgrant> dethray: That's not supported.
[08:53] <dethray> Boo
[08:53] <c_nick> wgrant: "The application has been updated, but your version of SQLite is too old and the application cannot run."
[08:53] <wgrant> Why are you attempting to exterminate Pulseaudio?
[08:53] <nahia> so when i do a document in ooo in linux and i try to open in windows a message apears telling me
[08:54] <colloguy> how do I get the amount of time left until sudo times out ?
[08:54] <dethray> The mixer has no options to make my headphones work and turn off external audio
[08:54] <hyperstream> are there any hex color pickers? (Can choose any color on my desktop/screen and get a hex value)
[08:54] <dethray> Both play

[08:54] <SnakDoc> Curly_Q you trying to copy images of VMware servers ?
[08:55] <aqw> hi i think something i am missing so smbclient is giving error as Connection to host failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME)
[08:55] <dethray> So I removed pulseaudio and rebuilt gnome-media
[08:55] <nahia> this document os blocked  by (my linux user) you can open it read only or  open a copy
[08:56] <nahia>  i dont know if i am being enoug clear
[08:56] <Slart> nahia: where is this document stored?
[08:56] <Slart> nahia: you are talking about dual booting or something, right? not two users opening the same document at the same time
[08:56] <nahia> i want to open the same document in boot systems  witout create duplicated files
[08:57] <nahia> yes is the dual booting situation
[08:57] <ikonia> nahia: put it on a shared mount point for all the dual boot systems
[08:58] <nahia> the document es etored in an extra partition format as ntfs  common to both os
[08:58] <Slart> nahia: so, how is the document stored? on a ntfs drive? on an ext3 drive? some windows share?
[08:58] <quietone> dethray: So, if I want to get back to the 9.04 I have to learn how to build gnome-media?
[08:58] <dethray> Uhm
[08:58] <ikonia> nahia: is the second OS windows ?
[08:58] <quietone> dethray: sorry, what?
[08:59] <ikonia> Slart: apologies, you finish, didn't mean to step on your toes
[08:59] <Slart> ikonia: no worries
[08:59] <nahia> yes windows is the second os
[09:00] <nnnnn> nahia, one of the partitions needs to be "Fat" for best results
[09:01] <nnnnn> you can, get drivers for windows to read extention 3 but they aren't relyable and can corrupt your data, and to my knolage ntfs is not supported yet on linux
[09:01] <nahia> is not some workaround?
[09:01] <nnnnn> thats the whole story
[09:01] <dethray> Sure it is nnnnn
[09:01] <Slart> nahia: this looks interesting http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11419
[09:01] <nahia> i realy ned the ntfs file system because i handle 4gb+  files

[09:06] <hiexpo_> hello all
[09:06] <wangzujian> 你们好阿
[09:06] <lat> When someone wants to connect to my workstation (Ubuntu 9.10) they are asked for a password. How can I reset that password?
[09:06] <indus> i mean, i shall ask in there now
[09:06] <wgrant> !cn | wangzujian
[09:06] <Slart> indus: actually I'm not to happy with openoffice.. I think it's good enough at what it does but I think it could be much better
[09:06] <wangzujian> -h
[09:07] <indus> Slart: i dont have any other option in open source
[09:07] <Slart> indus: but go ask in #openoffice.. I'm sure they have some ideas
[09:07] <ellagabby> anyone there
[09:07] <Slart> indus: nope.. same here.. I use lyx (latex) when I can.. but for some stuff it's the only option.. kind of
[09:08] <wangzujian> i am
[09:08] <Slart> nahia: some people are saying it's a windows problem with ntfs http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=85383
[09:08] <ShishKabab> Hi. Does anyone know how to connect to a wireless WPA secured network through the shell? I'm in recovery mode to make my home encrypted...
[09:08]  * wangzujian ?
[09:09] <om26er> !test
[09:10] <nahia> i gona try the hiden files solutions because i never fill the general data fields in  tools>options menu
[09:10] <Slart> nahia: give it a try.. see if it works.. don't delete your documents though.. just the lock files =)
[09:11] <nemo_> hello i am in bigggg trouble
[09:11] <nahia> yes thanks
[09:11] <fluvvell> needing some help with a raid array that won't boot but comes together ok under a Bootable 9.04 CD
[09:11] <nemo_> could not read network connection list...
[09:12] <DNS777> nemo_: here it works
[09:12] <nemo_> Help:   /home/nemo/.DCOPserver_XXXXX_O
[09:12] <DNS777> nemo_: maybe slow internet connection?
[09:13] <fluvvell> Does anyone understand initramfs really well?
[09:13] <nemo_> wait a minute
[09:13] <jiggaboojonez> hello.. i am having a big problem automounting w/read/write on karmic. please help. thanks!
[09:13] <DNS777> nemo_: or what do you mean exactly? the channel list?
[09:13] <nemo_> DNS777 : it returns please check that the "dcopserver " program is running
[09:13] <indus> !initramfs
[09:13] <DNS777> ah
[09:13] <DNS777> lol
[09:13] <nahia> i can not to see the lock files in the hiden docs view  i gona reboot
[09:14] <nahia> see you soon
[09:14] <Younder> yes, rythmbox and the movie player distributed with ubuntu are written in Python
[09:14] <jiggaboojonez> i have successfully automounted. but read and write is disabled
[09:14] <fluvvell> indus: wishful thinking surely
[09:14] <nemo_> i can't use kde or eva,whenever i start them it returns this message.. DNS777
[09:14] <indus> fluvvell: its the intial ram fs
[09:15] <indus> fluvvell: iam no expert though
[09:15] <indus> fluvvell: so ill try explain what it is or point you to a doc
[09:15] <fluvvell> indus: Thanks, but I can use google too
[09:15] <indus> fluvvell: ok then
[09:16] <aperson> what's the package for the default set of man pages?
[09:16] <aperson> somehow, my system is missing a lot of them
[09:16] <fluvvell> indius: I'm more interested in someone that may have some first hand experience with a bootable raid1 array, I've built a few before and not had this problem
[09:16] <Slart> aperson: there are a lot of manpages.. search in synaptic for manpages
[09:16] <braintorch> Hi. I have pretty tough question. Evolution seems to save all its' passwords under "default" keyring. Can I change this for some custom keyring (let it be "evolution" keyring) somehow?
[09:16] <nemo_> DNS777 : thanks..i am gonna search google ..thanks anyway.
[09:16] <indus> fluvvell: OK didnt see aboutthe raid there
[09:17] <DNS777> nemo_: you have to change the rights for your kde folder i guess
[09:17] <fluvvell> indus, its ok. sorry for misspelling your nick
[09:17] <iiiiick> how do you reset the panels to its default again?
[09:17] <iiiiick> !panels
[09:17] <DNS777> but
[09:17] <aperson> Slart, it's not that, it's just... a lot of them went missing.  I'm reisntalling the manpages package to see if that remedies it
[09:17] <Slart> aperson: I think the most common are "manpages" and "manpages-dev"
[09:18] <Slart> !info manpages | aperson
[09:18] <DNS777> look query, nemo_
[09:18] <Slart> aperson: I'm not sure if every app then installs its own manpages or not..
[09:18] <aperson> Slart, hmm.. after re-installing them, I'm still missing a lot.  like aptitude's and such
[09:18] <Slart> aperson: try reinstalling aptitude
[09:19] <aperson> Slart, I never thought I'd be doing a: sudo aptitude reinstall aptitude :S
[09:19] <Slart> aperson: =)
[09:20] <Azeotrope> does compiz fusion work by Remote Desktop?
[09:20] <aperson> Slart, I don't know how it disappeared in the first place :/
[09:20] <Slart> aperson: if files start disappearing I think you should be worried.. worried and busy making backups
[09:20] <aperson> Slart, I hope not :/ I can't afford new harddrives
[09:21] <madmatt_> hello
[09:22] <wgrant> Azeotrope: Not with any reasonable speed, no.
[09:23] <aqw> . anone can tell me why NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME is getting for smbclient -L host
[09:27] <ActionParsnip1> yo yo yo
[09:29] <mantale> hello
[09:30] <c_nick> my USB drive does not get detected on the desktop.. nor in the /media/
[09:31] <c_nick> i am on Ubuntu 9.0
[09:31] <c_nick> 9.10
[09:32] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: is the partition visible in the output of: sudo fdisk -l   ?
[09:32] <mantale> !list
[09:32] <c_nick> ActionParsnip1: yes
[09:32] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: what filesystem does fdisk say it is?
[09:32] <c_nick> W95 FAT
[09:32] <c_nick> FAT 32
[09:32] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: ok then you can mount it manually really easily, what is the partition name?
[09:33] <c_nick> /dev/sdb1
[09:33] <c_nick> ok so u mean
[09:33] <c_nick> mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk
[09:33] <c_nick> but why is it not displaying it in the desktop.. usually an icon does occur
[09:33] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: sudo mkdir /media/usb; sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usb -o rw,uid-1000
[09:33] <indus> c_nick: sure that works mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/disk
[09:34] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: has the usb device been in any windows systems?
[09:34] <indus> i think it works without the vfat too these days
[09:34] <braintorch> c_nick: I had similar problem yesterday
[09:34] <c_nick> nope
[09:34] <c_nick> i upgraded to karmic kaola today..
[09:34] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: ok and are you ejecting the mount before removing the device from your system?
[09:34] <c_nick> but then i overwrote on my existing home folder.. so maybe thats the issue
[09:34] <c_nick> yeah!
[09:34] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: good, thats very important :D
[09:35] <c_nick> Duh! :P
[09:35] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: most windows sers just rip them out then wonder why they get issues
[09:35] <braintorch> c_nick: system did not want to mount 2 usb-flash simultaneously
[09:35] <c_nick> ActionParsnip1: braintorch:  i dont use windows :P
[09:35] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: my command will get it mounted and read/writable
[09:36] <braintorch> c_nick: I'm too
[09:36] <c_nick> yes ActionParsnip1
[09:37] <c_nick> thanks

[09:45] <fluvvell> Looking for someone who has good raid1 experience, I've got a boot problem (and its not my first raid install)
[09:46] <c_nick> ActionParsnip1: Its does not Auto Mount
[09:46] <c_nick> i have to mount it into another location
[09:46] <c_nick> u know.. the manual mount umount method
[09:46] <c_nick> but it should also autodetect
[09:47] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: o to system -> administration -> authorizations. Scroll down to volumes and choose 'mount file systems from removable drives'. In the box click 'grant', from the drop down in 'select user' choose your username.
[09:47] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: i dont use automount but there seem to be guides out there detailing ways to get it going
[09:48] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=857374
[09:48] <c_nick> i dont have authorizations :(
[09:48] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: thats why then
[09:48] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: add yourself and you should be ok
[09:49] <plustax> Alright my friends. I am having an issue with my remote desktop here in 9.10
[09:49] <plustax> no matter what I do, it says only local can access it.
[09:49] <plustax> well, my router config is immaculate, and I even tried to connect locally.
[09:49] <plustax> It simply doesnt work. Can anyone help me see whats wrong with it?
[09:50] <c_nick> ActionParsnip1:  how ?
[09:50] <sterz> ActionParsnip1, yes i can
[09:50] <sterz> there is no problem with that
[09:50] <c_nick> sudo apt-get install authorization ?
[09:51] <Computech> When i try to start ubuntu from a CD it stops and says [ end trace ], the last things it said were: cpu idle and start _secondary
[09:51] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: the authorisations item in the admin menu will allow you to add yorself, as the guide says
[09:51] <Computech> (there's a chance the computer is broken though)
[09:51] <ActionParsnip1> Computech: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? did you run the cd verifier?
[09:52] <Computech> I'll try that Action
[09:52] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: can you ping the server?
[09:52] <ActionParsnip1> Computech: why didnt you try it BEFORE?
[09:52]  * sterz pfff
[09:53] <plustax> ActionParsnip1 server?
[09:53] <Computech> ActionParsnip1, If i do the md5 check i get the same error about the end of trace
[09:53] <c_nick> but ActionParsnip1 there is no authorization in my admin menu
[09:53] <c_nick> how to get that
[09:53] <ActionParsnip1> Computech: how do you know the file was good if you didnt test it!? How do you know the CD was burned properly
[09:54] <om26er> !lucid
[09:54] <Computech> ActionParsnip1, the cd worked on other computers.
[09:54] <sterz> @ping
[09:54] <krishn1> sleepmode is not working for me
[09:54] <krishn1> what settings I can check
[09:54] <sterz> !ping
[09:54] <ActionParsnip1> Computech: ok then try boot options, also check your bios is st to failsafe
[09:54] <Computech> Ok
[09:55] <Computech> I'l try around a bit, thanx Action
[09:56] <ActionParsnip1> Computech: you can also disable devices in BIOS to make your system simpler
[09:56] <plustax> ActionParsnip1 : okay so I dont know what you mean by ping the server. Im new to linux
[09:56] <Computech> I'll try that to
[09:56] <plustax> I go to remote desktop and get the folowing
[09:56] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: its not linux specific, its a defacto command
[09:56] <plustax> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2066611/Screenshot.png
[09:57] <plustax> well how do I ping it?
[09:57] <jschall> flash videos in firefox can't go fullscreen.
[09:57] <wangzujian> w
[09:57] <plustax> and what's the server I ping exactly?
[09:57] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: you ping the system to check connectivity. in terminal type: ping -c 4 ip.address.of.server
[09:57] <jschall> for some reason
[09:57] <plustax> I dont know the server to ping!
[09:57] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: the server you are trying to get the desktop of
[09:57] <plustax> im not on a server
[09:57] <plustax> Im trying to make it so others can vnc into my laptop here
[09:58] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: the VNC system you want to connect to is a server, it is offering a VNC service
[09:58] <jschall> i reinstalled ubuntu, switching from kubuntu 9.10 to ubuntu 9.10 and now flash videos can't go fullscreen in firefox. help.
[09:58] <plustax> okay well how do I find that information out?
[09:58] <sterz> jschall
[09:58] <sterz> you have to install a script
[09:58] <plustax> do I need to start a vnc server in ubuntu?
[09:58] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: ok lets get some basics down
[09:59]  * wowstargate is back from Sleeping. I was gone for 7hrs 34mins —I-n-v-i-s-i-o-n—
[09:59] <sterz> jschall, see here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7904240&postcount=1
[09:59] <Flannel> wowstargate: Please turn that off, thanks.
[09:59] <sterz> of course assuming you use 64bit
[09:59] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: you have a laptop you want to be able to remote desktop to. Are the systems which will be connecting to it on the same network or will they be connecting over the web?
[10:00] <plustax> they will be connecting over the web
[10:00] <plustax> basically ActionParsnip1
[10:00] <plustax> try to vnc onto my laptop here.
[10:00] <LuciusMare> hello
[10:00] <plustax> the router settings are good. I have been told by many sources that its something in my ubuntu
[10:00] <LuciusMare> how do i set so i have numlock on on startup?
[10:00] <LuciusMare> i use kubuntu
[10:01] <plustax> as in the ports and dmz have been set and forwarded correctly and I was told this by a professional, and they pointed me right to ubuntu
[10:01] <burg> hello. how can i make gnome network manager to manage my wired networks? at the moment it only shows wireless networks and it also sais: wired network: device not managed
[10:01] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: ok cool, http://www.debianadmin.com/images/rds/3.png   is how you enable the service
[10:01] <plustax> yes it is enabled then.
[10:02] <jschall> sterz: not 64-bit.
[10:02] <sterz> jschall: well i had the same problem and followed that how-to on ubuntuforums
[10:02] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: ok then you will need to get on your router and port forward port 5800 and port 5900 to the IP of the laptop
[10:02] <sterz> dont know if it will work for you though
[10:03] <plustax> ActionParsnip1
[10:03] <plustax> all that is done
[10:03] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: i strongly recommend you use vnc through an ssh tunnel as vnc has zero encryption so is not secure
[10:03] <c_nick> how to get the applets installed manually ? ;like gclock and gweather
[10:03] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: ok cool, i can test your config with telnet from here
[10:03] <plustax> ok
[10:03] <plustax> need my IP?
[10:03] <sterz> ActionParsnip1: i found the issue
[10:04] <sterz> regarding the navigation of mp3s
[10:04] <ActionParsnip1> sterz: whats the golden ticket?
[10:04] <sterz> i needed another gstreamer
[10:04] <jschall> sterz: sometimes dealing with these random little crippling bugs everywhere makes me want to switch to windows
[10:04] <sterz> codec
[10:04] <ActionParsnip1> sterz: sounds right, restricted-extras gives you that
[10:04] <jschall> sterz: but its entirely adobe's fault
[10:04] <jschall> sterz: the world would be better off if flash didn't exist at all
[10:04] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: your port forwarding is bad
[10:05] <jas72> is there a way to downgrade grub2 in karmic, I am unable to dual boot with grub2
[10:05] <sterz> ActionParsnip1, it was gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
[10:05] <sterz> i had to install
[10:05] <ActionParsnip1> jas72: you can install legacy grub if you wish
[10:05] <kontagious> i edited songs on my ipod from rhythmbox and when i use the ipod it says no songs but when i connect it rhythmbox can still see them. any ideas?
[10:05] <sterz> jschall, everyone likes an utopia :)
[10:05] <plustax> ActionParsnip1 it i?
[10:06] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: i cannot connect to your wan ip on port 5800 or 5900
[10:06] <plustax> what needs fixing?
[10:06] <jas72> ActionParsnop1 is there an easy way to do so?
[10:06] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: you need to configure your router to allow the traffic through
[10:06] <utopia> sterz: offcourse everybody likes me
[10:06] <jas72> ActionParsnip1 is there an easy way to do so?
[10:06] <ActionParsnip1> !grub | jas72
[10:06] <plustax> ActionParsnip1 my current router setup is modem > router 1 > router 2 > me
[10:06]  * sterz screeches hard
[10:07] <sterz> :)
[10:07] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: then you need to configure the second router to forward the traffic
[10:07] <Younder> plustax, in iptables that is FORWARD
[10:08] <plustax> ActionParsnip1
[10:08] <krishn1> sleepmode not working on my linux machine
[10:08] <jas72> ubottu another linux disto mandriva is the one i would like to dual boot don't use windows haven't done for three years
[10:08] <G_A_C> router 1 needs to be set to forward to the IP of router 2, then router 2 should forward to your PC...double NAT can be a nightmare, do you really need two routers? :)
[10:08] <plustax> if I allow remote access and give you login and pass could you fix it for me?
[10:09] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: no, i dont take that sort of responsibility, and you shouldnt allow others acces to your stuff either
[10:09] <plustax> well I've had to professionals forward everything how its supposed to be
[10:09] <plustax> my second router likes to change ips
[10:09] <plustax> jumps between two
[10:09] <plustax> so we had to secure that down.
[10:10] <G_A_C> if router 2 changes IPs then that doesn't sound like a workable setup for any kind of port forwarding, IMO :/
[10:10] <Younder> plustax, I recomend buying the book: Linux firewalls by Michael Rasin
[10:11] <Younder> plustax, though a static firewall and snort is also a option
[10:11] <superpiiii> does kvm support memory sharing?
[10:12] <Younder> plustax, snort can detect 22 000 ways of breaking into your computer. So if you think running linux makes you safe. Think again.
[10:13] <kontagious> i edited songs on my ipod from rhythmbox and when i use the ipod it says no songs but when i connect it rhythmbox can still see them. any ideas?
[10:13] <c_nick> ActionParsnip1: i get this error The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_GWeatherApplet". Do u wish to delete the applet..
[10:13] <c_nick> any way to get around this problem ?
[10:14] <intgr> Younder: Out of these breaches, 21 950 are probably obsolete or not applicable. :)
[10:14] <bouma> to make a hdd partition boot into the contents of a bootable  iso can i simply; dd if=the.iso of=/dev/sdc1 , then make sure  thats the active partion and boot into it? i hoped it would work but didnt boot.. any advice ??
[10:15] <rsv> how to add network manager applet to my panel in 9.10
[10:15] <syockit> A certain disk i/o operation (actually I'm doing a cp) is hogging my processor resource. Can I tell it do things more slowly and use less power, so that I can multitask? I tried renicing it but it doesn't seem to work
[10:16] <superpiiii> what is the current kernel version of Ubuntu Server 9.10?
[10:16] <rsv> 2631
[10:16] <G_A_C> syockit: I seem to recall there's an ionice command as well
[10:17] <syockit> G_A_C: thanks, will look up
[10:17] <G_A_C> try "ionice -h" from a terminal, it's installed on my system so I think it's a standard command

[10:19] <jschall> huh. this is pissing me off. flash didn't work because the fullscreen window was opening in the background. If I press alt-f2, the run dialog comes up behind my maximized firefox window. Why is my focus stealing prevention so jacked up? I don't have it on in compizconfig-settings-manager and i'm using metacity.
[10:19] <syockit> G_A_C: yay it feels lighter now! thank you very much!
[10:19] <ActionParsnip1> plustax: set it to a static IP then. Theres no reason at all for it to be on dhcp
[10:19] <jschall> anything i run starts unfocused
[10:19] <ActionParsnip1> c_nnot something I use, sorry
[10:20] <syockit> qdb: does it happen all the time?

[10:21] <ZeekDaGeek> Anyone have an idea what Media player I can use to watch X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It wont open in Totem or VLC.
[10:21] <rsv> ActionParsnip1: when i do that, i dont see anything on the screen, nm-applet has a gui right?
[10:21] <Younder> intgr, that's why I prefer to hand code iptables

[10:23] <quietone> Can anyone help me get started on setting up a calendar program on my ubuntu machine that the other machines on my home network can access and modify? I'm kinda leaning to a solution where the children can get to the calendar via a browser.
[10:23] <bobibobi> Hello everyone
[10:23] <bobibobi> I have a issue with an Asus 1005HA
[10:24] <aperson> quietone, google calendar?
[10:24] <bobibobi> After I wake up the laptop from sleep, the wired network card is missing
[10:24] <bobibobi> even from lspci
[10:24] <ZeekDaGeek> lol "pastebinit", that's a classic.
[10:24] <ZeekDaGeek> Little too much support.
[10:24] <bobibobi> The wired card is Attansic L1 Gigabit, pciid 1969:1062

[10:26] <aperson> erUSUL, thanks, I really should go through the bot's db sometime :)
[10:26] <ZeekDaGeek> ActionParsnip1: It worked thanks.
[10:26] <ActionParsnip1> ZeekDaGeek: mplayer is the daddy
[10:26] <G_A_C> quietone: sounds like you need iCal (and possibly a WebDAV server to host it in), then people can use their own choice of iCal clients (Kontact, Evolution, yadda yadda)
[10:27] <quietone> Younder: I prefer friends who are human. there must be other options
[10:27] <erUSUL> aperson: ;)
[10:27] <G_A_C> no idea where you'd start with that though
[10:27] <tomcyl> hello, all , what is default keyring? how i change it ?
[10:27] <Younder> quietone, there are, but google yiels the best search results
[10:27] <ActionParsnip1> Cappy: i can connect, looks like theres some weirness in your ISP or there are some network issues somewhere along the lines
[10:27] <quietone> G_A_C: I have set up WebDAV, though I don't think it is working yet. So, I am missing a piece of the puzzle.
[10:28] <quietone> Younder: maybe for you that is true
[10:28] <ActionParsnip1> Cappy: looks like you are hitting the server then bing turned away
[10:28] <Cappy> hrmmm damn.
[10:28] <duysan__> alo
[10:28] <quietone> G_A_C: anyplace I can go read up on how to get it working?
[10:29] <Cappy> ive had a reboot, i'll kick my router in the balls and see what happens =)
[10:29] <Younder> quietone, yes, as you search it creates a profile of you. And this helps it better recognize what you might be interested in
[10:29] <bradpitt> !google
[10:29] <quietone> Younder: I don't want them to make a profile for me
[10:29] <tomcyl> can someone tell me about default keyring?
[10:29] <aperson> !patience | tomcyl
[10:30] <aperson> tomcyl, the defualt is stored in ~/.gnome2/keyrings
[10:30] <Younder> quietone, the NSA is doing that anyhow, to determine if you are a terrorist. All netwrk trafic is monitored
[10:32] <Younder> quietone, google does it 'soley' for yor benefit is all
[10:33] <Younder> a few u's would be nice.. :)
[10:34] <hsr> hello aleph
[10:35] <tomcyl> aperson , can i change it if i forge it ?
[10:36] <Hunt4> can anyone pls tell wat's wrong; http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m42664617
[10:36] <ZeekDaGeek> ActionParsnip1: Looks like I lied, I thought it worked because it started playing something. But it'll only play the previews and nothing more o.o
[10:38] <Hunt4> can anyone pls tell wat's wrong; http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m42664617
[10:38] <SaBot> Okay, I just reinstalled windows xp over my entire hard drive. I am now trying to install ubuntu using the minimal installation. It lists the partitions and then says "No filesystem could mount root, tried : ext3, ext2, ext4, fuseblk. Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown block(8,1)" and stops
[10:38] <ActionParsnip1> ZeekDaGeek: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras
[10:38] <aperson> Hunt4, I'd suggest trying tab completion when filling those sorts of things :)
[10:38] <aperson> Hunt4, try libmad0-dev
[10:40] <ActionParsnip1> SaBot: you will need to free up some space to install ubuntu to. I suggest you reinstall windows and use a fraction of the available space rather than using 100% which is the default, you can then use the unpartitioned space to install linux to. If you are not up for that you can boot to a live CD and resize but if you'd planned partitions you can avoid this whole fiasco
[10:40] <ZeekDaGeek> ActionParsnip1: Synaptic Package Manager tells me no I have not.
[10:41] <SaBot> I tried using gparted before, but it wasnt working either
[10:41]  * SaBot tries using the alternate cd
[10:42] <ActionParsnip1> ZeekDaGeek: grab it, it has lots of lovely codecs and useful stuff
[10:42] <aperson> ActionParsnip1, and eeew... java!
[10:42] <ActionParsnip1> aperson: java is handy
[10:43] <aperson> ActionParsnip1, if you run java things, sure
[10:43] <ActionParsnip1> aperson: exactly
[10:43] <aleph_> Hullo
[10:43] <aperson> ActionParsnip1, I've gone through three installs where I've not needed it :)
[10:43] <ActionParsnip1> aperson: 64bit java runs fine here and doesnt bog down openoffice
[10:43] <aperson> !hi aleph_
[10:44] <ActionParsnip1> aperson: its part of my script I use after a clean install
[10:44] <error404notfound> when i click "reload" button in synaptic, it reloads the repository data from internet. Most of the time it says "Hit" in first column but sometime "Failed" as well. I have tried using the Main server, US and "Select Best Server"'s Mirror.
[10:44] <aperson> error404notfound, do you have any other repositories enabled?
[10:45] <error404notfound> aperson, yes.. but Failed appears against the ones from the main server/us server
[10:45] <ActionParsnip1> error404notfound: can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:45] <ZeekDaGeek> ActionParsnip1: Nope, that didn't work either unless you need to set some settings after.
[10:46] <ActionParsnip1> ZeekDaGeek: should be good to go and schooled by satan
[10:46] <ActionParsnip1> ZeekDaGeek: what format is the video you have?
[10:46] <c_nick> i tried to created a new user.. now i want to delete that user and create another user .. but its asking for a root password which i dont know.. how to modify
[10:46] <ActionParsnip1> ZeekDaGeek: you could enable the medibuntu repo and install w64codecs or w332codecs depending on the arch of your Ubuntu
[10:47] <manuel_> hi
[10:47] <hemant_> i want to configure a git server . Any good how to documents can i get?
[10:47] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: use : gksudo users-admin
[10:47] <aleph_> Hullo everyone! i'm new to Ubuntu 4 one year&really enjoy it .Oh ! I'm a chinese college student .
[10:47] <ZeekDaGeek> ActionParsnip1: its the actual DVD in my DVD drive. The folder itself has a bunch of .vob .bup and .ifo files.
[10:48] <error404notfound> ActionParsnip1, there are a lot of IGN in there along with HIT.
[10:48] <ActionParsnip1> ZeekDaGeek: then find the largest file and open that, in vlc you can click file -> open disk
[10:48] <tomcyl> i found the file but what should i do with it ?
[10:48] <c_nick> ActionParsnip1:  its not allowing me to run says contact the system administrator
[10:48] <manuel_> i just figured out that my mounting problem has to do with that xorg is starting too fast and dont wait for my cryptsetup password on my second part. how can i make it wait?
[10:48] <CMooney> Hi, I need help setting up sbackup with upstart. Seeing as Karmic got rid of the old way of starting processes.
[10:48] <c_nick> ActionParsnip1: Failed to run users-admin as user root.The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.
[10:49] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: ok then use: sudo -s ; users-admin
[10:49] <hemant_> i want to configure a git server . Any good how to documents can i get?
[10:49] <aperson> !dvd > ZeekDaGeek
[10:49] <Slart> !git | hemant_

[10:51] <riktking> but i can from a windows box on my network via putty
[10:51] <riktking> i dont get it?
[10:51] <c_nick> ohk .. so how to get rid of this problem
[10:52] <syockit> riktking: the host of <hostname> is on same network as the one you're using or not?
[10:52] <riktking> no its on a dnydns setup
[10:53] <riktking> and i can log in using the same internet connection via putty
[10:54] <ActionParsnip1> riktking: can you ping the ip address?
[10:54] <c_nick> ActionParsnip1:  any suggestion ?
[10:55] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: does it not run after running: sudo -s   ?
[10:55] <c_nick> yes it runs
[10:55] <riktking> no cannot ping it
[10:55] <c_nick> but if i click on the keys icon.. it says.. enter root password.. which i dont know
[10:55] <c_nick> or i never set
[10:55] <ActionParsnip1> riktking: thats your issue then, there is no logical connection
[10:55] <riktking> ok
[10:55] <knifepoint> Hey guys i am trying to restore grub2. I have restored grub but update-grub doesn't find ubuntu but os-prober does
[10:55] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: so even if you run it in a root prompt it doesnt work?
[10:56] <c_nick> whats the root promt
[10:56] <riktking> ActionParsnip1, i know its with my end but i dont know how to fix it
[10:56] <ActionParsnip1> riktking: if the system is on the same LAN then name resolution should take place
[10:56] <lodder> How can I force group on a folder, when I make a file in a folder it get always the group of the user and not the folder. How can I get it of the folder and not the user?
[10:56] <ActionParsnip1> riktking: ok is the system you are connecting to on the same network?
[10:56] <riktking> ActionParsnip1, no
[10:57] <c_nick> this user.. is not an admin it seems
[10:57] <c_nick> i did created with admin rights and all.. but it seems its not working
[10:57] <c_nick> #fail
[10:57] <ActionParsnip1> riktking: ok and is the server you are connecting to behind a router?
[10:57] <Sinkro63> c_nick:  does he belong to Admin?
[10:57] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: runs: groups
[10:57] <riktking> ActionParsnip1, yes its got port forwarding set up, i can login from other systems
[10:57] <knifepoint> hmm #chroot /mnt os-prober wont find ubuntu but #os-prober will
[10:57] <knifepoint> any ideas?
[10:58] <ActionParsnip1> riktking: ok then connect to the WAN IP of the router which the system is behind
[10:58] <riktking> ActionParsnip1, tried that one
[10:58] <c_nick> ActionParsnip1: sleepycat123 adm dialout fax cdrom tape audio dip video plugdev fuse
[10:58] <riktking> ActionParsnip1, can ssh into a system on my lan
[10:59] <ActionParsnip1> riktking: then its the wrong ip, is someone local to the network you are connecting to?
[10:59] <ZeekDaGeek> :\ None of that worked.
[10:59] <Sinkro63> c_nick:  start a terminal abd type "groups"
[10:59] <ZeekDaGeek> I hate copy protection the only people it hurts are honest people.
[10:59] <Sinkro63> c_nick:  no admin there
[10:59] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: you are not a user of sudo
[10:59] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: mine is: andy adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin netdev admin sambashare
[10:59] <riktking> ActionParsnip1, i can connect to the server on a windows box via putty using the dyndns, i can ssh to local machines, just cannot ssh into the system from the pc i am on
[10:59] <c_nick> so what to do now
[11:00] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: you will need to boot to root recovery console and add yourself to the admin group
[11:00] <c_nick> i see only 2 ppl in users and groups.. one is sleepycat123 and other is root
[11:00] <c_nick> and i dont the root password
[11:00] <c_nick> i dont even know that root had a password :P
[11:00] <ActionParsnip1> riktking: can you install traceroute and traceroute to the IP
[11:01] <satoshi1959> ff
[11:01] <Younder> c_nick, edit the grub, using e at boot
[11:01] <riktking> ActionParsnip1, will do
[11:01] <eFfeM> hi, is there a way to tell gnome terminal to put its tabs at the bottom (or is there anothter terminal prog that does this?)
[11:01] <adri> cze
[11:01] <i_is_broke> c_nick, did  yo install ubuntu?
[11:01] <syockit> riktking: I suppose your PC and the windows box are on the same network then?
[11:01] <Younder> c_nick, add a 'text' option
[11:01] <c_nick> yes
[11:01] <riktking> syockit, yes they are
[11:01] <i_is_broke> c_nick, its your pwd
[11:01] <Younder> c_nick, the you will boot into text mode
[11:01] <riktking> syockit, so i know i can connect out
[11:01] <ActionParsnip1> i_is_broke: s/he is not a member of admin
[11:02] <epinky> !root| c_nick
[11:02] <i_is_broke> ActionParsnip1, i know but he didnt know about the pwd. for root
[11:02] <Younder> c_nick, then at the command line use a addgrp comman (man addgrp first)
[11:02] <syockit> riktking: hmm I wonder where the dns resolution failed. whether at your pc or the dyndns system...
[11:02] <ActionParsnip1> i_is_broke: pwd = present working directory ;)
[11:02] <manuel_> how can i force cryptsetup to wait till i entered the correct passwd?
[11:02] <c_nick> No Manual for addgrp
[11:03] <i_is_broke> ActionParsnip1, ok, thanks..didnt know..
[11:03] <riktking> syockit, i have used 2 diff machines to login via the same internet connection at the network i am at
[11:03] <i_is_broke> ActionParsnip1, still half asleep..and didnt feel like typing yet.
[11:03] <syockit> syockit: I'm suspecting your pc... but why would it if you seem to be able to use internet without problem (seeing you're here on IRC)
[11:03] <riktking> syockit, i know its buggin me
[11:03] <riktking> syockit, when im on the lan it ssh'd str8 in of course
[11:04] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: you will need to drop to root recovery console and run: usermod -a -G admin username
[11:04] <epinky> !password| c_nick
[11:04] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: replace username with the name you logon with
[11:04] <ActionParsnip1> epinky: the password is known, the account isnt in the admin group
[11:04] <c_nick> root recovery console ?
[11:04] <ubuntu> hi there!is it any way to change my wlan mac address permanently?to boot up with a spoofed mac?
[11:04] <ZeekDaGeek> There we go, I had to reinsert the dvd and then I was able to open it with VLC after installing those extras probably. Thanks ActionParsnip1 and aperson.
[11:05] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: its an option in grub, select recovery mode then select root
[11:05] <epinky> ActionParsnip1: oh, I see, sry
[11:05] <syockit> riktking: maybe checking windows box's putty settings would help. I don't how you're ssh-ing from the current one, but maybe you need to put in the settings
[11:05] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: you can then run the command and your account will be added and you will be able to use sudo etc
[11:05] <Younder> ActionParsnip1, it is not a unix V system
[11:05] <riktking> syockit, im using term command ssh <username>@<hostname>:<port>
[11:05] <ActionParsnip1> Younder: ?
[11:06] <riktking> syockit, which lets me log into a local machine no problemo
[11:06] <c_nick> how to go to grub
[11:06] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: its part of the bootup sequence
[11:06] <c_nick> earlier it used to give me grup options.. now with ubuntu 9.10  its just showing an image.. and logs on
[11:07] <c_nick> i mean the log on screen pops up
[11:07] <Younder> ActionParsnip1, the point I am making is that the boot sequence if different from what you seem to think it is
[11:07] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: as soon as the system starts to turn back on after the reboot, press esc a lot, hammer it like a crazy man
[11:07] <ActionParsnip1> Younder: bios, griub, OS   I thought this was standard
[11:08] <c_nick> hmm
[11:08] <c_nick> so after that it will come ?
[11:08] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: yes you will see grub
[11:08] <c_nick> hmmm
[11:08] <ActionParsnip1> Younder: so how is it different?
[11:08] <adri> jest ktoś ?
[11:08] <Younder> ActionParsnip1, so far so good. But beyound that it depends on dependencies
[11:08] <knifepoint> Hey guys im trying to restore grub2 i have my main ubuntu drive mounted to /mnt #chroot /mnt os-prober wont find ubuntu but #os-prober will
[11:08] <c_nick> then in grub select the recovery mode..
[11:08] <riktking> syockit, this is on a clean install today
[11:08] <c_nick> and then root ??
[11:08] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: yes
[11:09] <ActionParsnip1> Younder: depends on dependancies made me smile
[11:09] <c_nick> how will i select root there ? ?
[11:09] <ActionParsnip1> c_nick: cursor keys and enter....
[11:09] <epinky> !pl | adri
[11:09] <c_nick> oh
[11:09] <c_nick> ok
[11:09] <c_nick> fine i will try that out
[11:09] <c_nick> thanks
[11:09] <FloodBot3> c_nick: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:09] <brakk> :j #france
[11:09] <Younder> ActionParsnip1, so you have to take into account that this is not system V boot anymore
[11:10] <Sinkro63> c_nick:  If You just wait a sec i try it on a computer next to me
[11:10] <ActionParsnip1> Younder: i guess, ood point. lets see what happens. weird how the account isnt in the group
[11:10] <riktking> syockit, i have now installed putty on ubuntu and im straight in?? any ideas?
[11:10] <ActionParsnip1> riktking: reinstall openssh-client maybe
[11:10] <ribasushi> how do I get the dependency-based init boot to recalculate the orders once I change some of the initfiles?
[11:10] <ActionParsnip1> riktking: could also rename ~/.ssh unless you have some funky key pairs setup
[11:11] <sirlark> hi, I'm on a fresh install of karmic (server), and have run "apt-get install ant sun-java6-jdk". I'm trying to build a project called biomaj which uses ant for the build process, and I'm getting complaints about ANT_HOME not being set. I've logged out and logged in, assuming the environment simply wasn't updated in the running shell
[11:12] <sirlark> but no dice
[11:12] <knifepoint> Does anyone have any ideas about my grub question should only take 2min if you know
[11:12] <nati> ciao a tutti non trovo come fare x entrare nel canale italiano sapete dirmi come fare grazie
[11:12] <_ruben> !it
[11:12] <riktking> ActionParsnip1, no nothing funky setup, whats the command to reinstall, sudo apt-get.....
[11:12] <sirlark> knifepoint: what's the question
[11:12] <knifepoint> Hey guys im trying to restore grub2 i have my main ubuntu drive mounted to /mnt #chroot /mnt os-prober wont find ubuntu but #os-prober will
[11:12] <Younder> ActionParsnip1, I am talking about runlevels
[11:13] <ActionParsnip1> sirlark: this mentions it: http://www.len.ro/2007/04/install-ubuntu-feisty-fawn-migrate-data/
[11:13] <Younder> ActionParsnip1, gdm isn't in it...
[11:13] <ActionParsnip1> riktking: sudo apt-get --reinstall install openssh-client
[11:13] <syockit> riktking: but since you said even ping didn't work, maybe you have to compare dns resolver instead
[11:13] <ubuntu> well,can anyone tell me an irc channel about malicios shellcodes and rootkits?got a remote exploit via wifi and would like to ask somebody who has knowledge about this stuff.please help me
[11:14] <sirlark> ActionParsnip1: wrong sirlark there maybe?
[11:14] <knifepoint> sirlark: the only problem is i need to use #chroot /mnt to run update-grub otherwise i get this error "grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /." as im booted from the live cd
[11:14] <riktking> syockit, its working on putty
[11:14] <riktking> ive installed it on this machine
[11:14] <Younder> ActionParsnip1, so the traditional runlevel 5, won't work
[11:14] <ActionParsnip1> Younder: sure but if you use the grub menu, Linux isnt even loaded ad the ecovery cosole can be used. or are you on about something else now
[11:15] <Brandano> Is there a way to stop a specific removable drive from automounting at boot without removing automount altogether??
[11:15] <sirlark> ActionParsnip1: nevermind I see it now, thanks
[11:15] <syockit> riktking: hmm? you also have putty on that machine. I see... and it's working... now why did ping fail...
[11:15] <srv> i enter wireless password in network manager, i get the message box - Default Keyring is locked, give password to unlock, i give root password, but i keep getting the messagebox
[11:15] <ActionParsnip1> sirlark: cool
[11:15] <srv> why is this - how can i unlock default keyring
[11:15] <srv> and who locks the default keyring
[11:16] <Sinkro63> knifepoint:  it isnt a thinkpaD U are using?
[11:16] <ubuntu> found that on each boot my wifi is active and connects to an Ap,where the intruder operates my machine with full root privileges.had succes to change the mac address,but after shot down or reboot my mac changes to the original one
[11:16] <riktking> syockit, i know im very confused
[11:16] <Younder> ActionParsnip1, just been spendin the las week getting my boot sequence right
[11:16] <Brandano> syockit, perhaps icmp ports closed?
[11:16] <sirlark> knifepoint: how exactly is that a problem? Is the chroot not working? And you would probably have to mount /dev with -o bind into the chrooted env
[11:16] <Younder> ActionParsnip1, now I have started drinking beer, which explaines the rather confores grable
[11:16] <madrazr> Hello everyone, from yesterday suddenly my LVMs are not mounting during boot even though I have their entries in fstab, can any one help me with this please?
[11:17] <madrazr> is this a known issue?
[11:17] <riktking> syockit, i have a way in now, i can x forward, which was what i was after, its not ideal but its a fix. thanks for yours and ActionParsnip1 's help
[11:17] <madrazr> it used to mount till day before
[11:17] <dsl_> hi, I have a windows share automatically mounted under /media but this morning it didn't show up and I couldn't access the share (or network printers on the same Win XP box) at all. after 2 reboots it's working as normal. nothing else changed on the network i.e. all other pcs stayed as they were...any ideas please?
[11:17] <c_nick> ActionParsnip1:  it did not work
[11:17] <knifepoint> sirlark: sorry it relates to the first problem that i didn't tag you on "Hey guys im trying to restore grub2 i have my main ubuntu drive mounted to /mnt #chroot /mnt os-prober wont find ubuntu but #os-prober will"
[11:17] <c_nick> i tried to press esc again and again .. it made beep sound..!! but to no avail
[11:17] <Sinkro63> c_nick:  what happend?
[11:18] <Sinkro63> c_nick:  ok
[11:18] <Sinkro63> c_nick:  If You just wait a sec i try it on a computer next to me
[11:18] <sirlark> knifepoint: ahh, again, inside /mnt, /dev isn't populated
[11:18] <c_nick> i want to go to Grub.. but with Ubuntu 9.10 it does not go to grub display sU9.10 image.. and goes to the log in screen..
[11:18] <c_nick> i want to enter grub.. donno how
[11:19] <sirlark> knifepoint: try # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev
[11:19] <aperson> !grub2 | c_nick
[11:19] <Sinkro63> c_nick:  esc dont work for me either. Start Your computer and when the logo comes up turn it of. Start the computer again and grub-list comes up
[11:19] <sirlark> knifepoint: before chrooting that is
[11:19] <c_nick> turn it off ???
[11:20] <c_nick> u mean manually restart ?
[11:20] <c_nick> or CTRL + ALT + DEL
[11:20] <cbx> where is the menu.lst for ubuntu located?
[11:20] <Sinkro63> c_nick:  yes hold the turn off key on computer
[11:20] <srv> worked i deleted rm .gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring
[11:20] <jolaren> When I try to upgrade things in my xbmc live terminal I get "E: Directory '/var/log/apt/' missing" but the installation is on my external disk (F:)
[11:20] <jolaren> Anyone have a clue on what 2 do?
[11:21] <Sinkro63> c_ or pull the plug. the it realise something goes wrong and the list comes up
[11:21] <aperson> cbx /etc/default/grub
[11:21] <c_nick> dont get u Sinkro63 ?? u mean when i see that white logo i should just press the turn off key once (not the restart button) and grub will come ?
[11:21] <aperson> !grub2 > cbx
[11:21] <Sinkro63> c_nick:  resewt button ok (i dont have that on my computer)
[11:21] <cbx> ty aperson
[11:22] <aperson> c_nick, just hold escape when you boot, improperly powering off your computer can lead to data loss
[11:22] <c_nick> so u want me to RESET ? right
[11:22] <c_nick> or shut down?
[11:22] <Sinkro63> c_nick:  shut down start it again
[11:22] <Brandano> rest ought to be enough
[11:22] <Sinkro63> aperson:  esc didnt make grub-list to come up
[11:22] <Brandano> grub is a boot manager, after a reset it has to be invoked. Still, never had an issue with grub not showing up
[11:23] <aperson> c_nick, edit your grub timeout in /etc/default/grub
[11:23] <Brandano> unless the timeout has been set to 0, or the list of options only has one entry
[11:23] <Brandano> in any case the proper way to fix a boot manager issue is probably to use a livecd
[11:23] <cbx> aperson: so I can't copy the lines from my grub entries to my grub2 entries?
[11:23] <maple1> drunk as fuck
[11:23] <aperson> cbx: no
[11:24] <madrazr> Hello everyone, from yesterday suddenly my LVMs are not mounting during boot even though I have their entries in fstab, can any one help me with this please?
[11:24] <aperson> !language | maple1
[11:24] <Sinkro63> c_nick:  if you have multiple recovery choose the one with higest number
[11:24] <c_nick> aperson: Grub Timeout means what
[11:24] <aperson> c_nick, it is the time grub's menu appears for
[11:24] <c_nick> hmm ok
[11:24] <c_nick> so thats in seconds
[11:24] <knifepoint> Sinkro63: Toshiba Satellite U300
[11:24] <knifepoint> sirlark: No it is i ran a mount --bind and it finds all the windows partitions just misses out on ubuntu
[11:24] <aperson> c_nick, gksu gedit /etc/default/grub
[11:24] <knifepoint> sirlark: Still no luck
[11:24] <knifepoint> sirlark: If i run os-prober just as root from the live cd i find it.
[11:25] <Sinkro63> aperson:  read the Q
[11:25] <c_nick> yes i have opened that file
[11:25] <knifepoint> sirlark: yeah before chrooting to mnt
[11:25] <Brandano> madrazr, that's sincerely something I never faced. Do they show up fine in gparted?
[11:25] <maple1> sorry, I forgot that whole families came to linux channels
[11:25] <aperson> Sinkro63, I'll let c_nick handle it :)
[11:25] <madrazr> Brandano: yup, I can even mount them manually after loggin in
[11:25] <maple1> :)
[11:25] <c_nick> aperson:  cant do i am not a superuser here ...
[11:25] <c_nick> (main issue)*
[11:26] <Sinkro63> aperson:  ok. (do U know whats his problem is?)
[11:26] <cbx> will anything happen if I edit /etc/boot/grub.conf? I know its not the right thing to do, but can i do it?
[11:26] <superpiiii> what is the replacement for virt-manager on ubuntu 9.10? doesn it exist any more?
[11:26] <Brandano> madrazr,  something changed at user permission level?
[11:26] <c_nick> i will try his method and lets see what happens
[11:26] <aperson> Sinkro63, I just came in, sorry, but I'd like the user tell me his problem :)
[11:26] <madrazr> Brandano: not that I know of at least, and no one else uses this machine other than me
[11:26] <Sinkro63> aperson:  ok
[11:26] <sirlark> knifepoint: after mounting /dev with bind, does the device you need to see actually appear in /mnt/dev?
[11:27] <madrazr> Brandano: is there any log I can check out for this?
[11:27] <knifepoint> sirlark: Yeah its there alright very strange
[11:27] <Brandano> madrazr: but when mounting them manually do you have to enter your password?
[11:27] <madrazr> or can I see what is happening during the boot?
[11:27] <maple1> can someone install ubuntu for me? I'm too drunk
[11:28] <roamer> 我来l
[11:28] <madrazr> Brandano: yup, I have to mount it as root
[11:28] <knifepoint> sirlark: It is the same device that i have mounted to /mnt does that make a difference?
[11:28] <Brandano> madrazr: then you don't have the proper permissions for automounting as regular user in fstab
[11:28] <madrazr> Brandano: Oh! what should I do for that?
[11:29] <halvor> hello
[11:29] <aperson> !hi | halvor
[11:29] <halvor> i have a really strange situation
[11:29] <halvor> never experienced souch thing
[11:29] <aperson> halvor, best to just ask it right-off :)
[11:29] <Brandano> madrazr: looking it up, gimme a sec.
[11:29] <sirlark> knifepoint: I doubt it, but I'm not sure... I'm not an ubuntu expert (gentooist myself), and I've never used os-prober ... I do know a little about chroot though ;) Can you read the device in /mnt/dev?
[11:30] <madrazr> Brandano: sure, thank you so much
[11:30] <halvor> skype uses greek fonts even tho the whle system is set to english
[11:30] <sirlark> knifepoint: if you can then it's not a locking issue (which I really don't think it is)
[11:30] <halvor> thanks, aperson :)
[11:30] <aperson> halvor, how did you install it?
[11:30] <knifepoint> sirlark: how would i test that?
[11:31] <halvor> aperson: i downloaded the deb from skype's website and from that
[11:31] <Aperculum> is there a ubuntu package for stackless python?
[11:31] <aperson> halvor, do you still have the deb?  I'd try re-installing it first to see if that fixes it
[11:31] <mcphail> halvor: do you have the same problem with any other QT applications?
[11:31] <maple1> I love you all
[11:32] <halvor> aperson: i've tried to reinstall
[11:32] <sirlark> knifepoint: less? (or something a little less drastic) head -c 1 /mnt/dev/devname
[11:32] <Aperculum> maple1: I love you all, too
[11:32] <aperson> halvor, did you purge any configurations first?
[11:32] <knifepoint> sirlark: i can cat it... can't less because its not supported format
[11:32] <aperson> halvor, a reinstall may not touch those
[11:33] <halvor> aperson: hmm... i haven't purged
[11:33] <halvor> aperson: what to do then?
[11:33] <sirlark> knifepoint: then it's readable within the chroot jail ... sorry, I got nothing more
[11:33] <c_nick> Hi i think that worked
[11:33] <aperson> halvor, you should be able to do a: sudo aptitude purge skype
[11:33] <isolat3dsh33p> guys, does wine supports CS:Condition Zero?
[11:33] <c_nick> now when i do sudo apt-get install something.. it does not say ask system admin.. :)
[11:33] <tobiasz> I cannot install win xp sp3 on virtualbox :( I think it is a sata problem
[11:33] <halvor> aperson: i try that now
[11:34] <aperson> isolat3dsh33p, I'd look at the winddb
[11:34] <guyvdb_> Hi, I have removable media (/dev/sdb1) that I want mounted read write at  /home/guy/mountpoint. It is ext4. What should my fstab entry look like?
[11:34] <aperson> !wine > isolat3dsh33p
[11:34] <knifepoint> sirlark: dammit well at least i got some fancy cat screens out of it
[11:34] <Sinkro63> c_nick:  merry christmas
[11:34] <c_nick> but now i have another issue.. now i want to create a user who has admin rights.. and that user access another home folder
[11:34] <mcphail> halvor: skype is a QT application. As I recall, you can set up a configuration file in your home directory to select default fonts in QT apps. I can't remember the details
[11:34] <tobiasz> I cannot install win xp sp3 on virtualbox :( I think it is a sata problem, is there any thing I can do? merry christmas and stuff everyone
[11:34] <sirlark> knifepoint: and next you try to remeber the command to reset the terminal ;)
[11:34] <aperson> c_nick, you don't have admin rights, yes?
[11:34] <c_nick> Sinkro63: hope so :)
[11:34] <isolat3dsh33p> aperson: Just wan't a quick anser... ;)
[11:34] <c_nick> aperson:  no now i got those
[11:35] <c_nick> now when i go to System->Admin->users and groups
[11:35] <sirlark> knifepoint: what are you trying to do exactly?
[11:35] <halvor> aperson: okkei, now skype is gone :S
[11:35] <c_nick> there when i try to create a new user it says.. chose another home folder
[11:35] <guyvdb_> I have entry (/dev/sdb1 	/home/guy/Projects	ext4  rw  0  0 ) in fstab but when I plug in removable media it says only root can mount it. How do I give my user premission
[11:35] <brian_> it
[11:35] <sirlark> knifepoint: i.e. can you go the manual root?
[11:35] <halvor> aperson: The following packages will be REMOVED: skype{p}
[11:35] <aperson> halvor, re-install away then.  alternatively, you could try installing skype from the mediabuntu repositories
[11:36] <aperson> halvor, but lets see if the deb works :)
[11:36] <halvor> aperson: okkei, thank you
[11:36] <aperson> isolat3dsh33p, well, that's more of a wine issue and not ubuntu, so this isn't quite the place to ask :)
[11:36] <ActionParsnip1> guyvdb_: plug it in and run: sudo mount -a
[11:36] <halvor> aperson: i'll tell what's up as soon is i'm done with it
[11:36] <halvor> aperson: thanks a lot
[11:36] <knifepoint> sirlark: its grub2 (1.97) so the manual root scares and confuses me :P
[11:36] <isolat3dsh33p> Aperculum: :)
[11:36] <isolat3dsh33p> aperson: :)
[11:36] <guyvdb_> ActionParsnip1 I want in in fstab - I can mount fine from the command line
[11:37] <c_nick> ActionParsnip1: aperson Sinkro63 how can i create a new user who could access the old home older..
[11:37] <ribasushi> how do I get the dependency-based init boot to recalculate the orders once I change some of the initfiles?
[11:37] <piedro> hi, can anyone tell me the command to start the gui for akonadi server settings?
[11:37] <knifepoint> sirlark: sorry i  meant route. what do you mean by manual root?
[11:37] <ubuntu> please if anyone knows an irc channel about security issues let me know.got a hard problem,
[11:37] <guyvdb_> ActionParsnip1 I figured it out... thx
[11:37] <aperson> guyvdb_, if you want a gui to edit what partitions get mounted where and with what permissions, there is pysdm
[11:37] <sirlark> knifepoint: but all you are trying to do is make a particular partition bootable and specify the kernel image right?
[11:38] <ActionParsnip1> guyvdb_: add user as an option in fstab then, it will allow users to mount it
[11:38] <Brandano> madrazr: essentially you ought to have "user" in the fstab options for th specific partitions
[11:38] <guyvdb_> ActionParsnip1, aperson got it thx
[11:38] <Brandano> madrazr: to allow mounting as a user
[11:38] <alfabetic> #linux
[11:38] <madrazr> Brandano: Oh Ok
[11:39] <Brandano> naturally, file system permissions still apply
[11:39] <piedro> hi, can anyone tell me the comand to start the gui for akonadi-settings? (should show up within kde-systemsettings)
[11:39] <Dday> My ound isn't owrking
[11:39] <jolaren> Whats wrong with this statement? “sudo mount -o loop restrictedDrivers.nvidia.img /mnt”
[11:39] <knifepoint> sirlark: Yeah pretty much i have windows partitions going just need the one ubuntu partition working. I've never done the manual way before so i was hoping for automatic.
[11:39] <sirlark> ActionParsnip1: setting ANT_HOME to /user/share/ant fixes my problem. Should the ant package not put this environment variable into the 'global' environment. On gentoo this would be a file in /etc/env.d but I don't know the equivalent in ubuntu
[11:40] <Brandano> jolaren: what is the error?
[11:40] <ActionParsnip1> jolaren: you need: sudo mount -o loop -t udf ./restrictedDrivers.nvidia.img /mnt
[11:40] <madrazr> Brandano: Oh Ok
[11:40] <madrazr> I will do a reboot once and try
[11:40] <madrazr> thanks a lot for the help
[11:41] <Brandano> madrazr: I hope it works. Try unmounting and remounting manually before rebooting
[11:41] <madrazr> Brandano: sure
[11:41] <Brandano> at least you can reset things if it fails mounting at all
[11:41] <ActionParsnip1> jolaren: may help too: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=149197
[11:41] <c_nick> ok i got through with that too
[11:42] <piedro> hi, can anyone tell me the comand to start the gui for akonadi-settings? (should show up within kde-systemsettings)
[11:42] <jolaren> ActionParsnip1; That doesnt work either.. the error is "ioctl: loop_set_fd; invalid argument"

[11:47] <vak> Q: are there any ready Karmic vmware images?
[11:47] <airtonix> jolaren, technically a 'rename' operaton is a move operation on any system.
[11:47] <vak> http://virtualappliances.net/ isn't much updated since 2008 :(
[11:47] <jolaren> airtonix; Not really following you.. What do you mean?
[11:47] <aperson> vak, I'm sure there are plenty out on the 'net, but I'd imagine it wouldn't be hard to make your own
[11:48] <airtonix> jolaren, you are renaming a file.
[11:48] <sirlark> jolaren: if you are looking to convert the format, then no rename is not sufficient, use something like iat
[11:49] <alfabetic> ActionParsnip1 what do you mean ?
[11:49] <tuntun> Hi, Is there a program for reading TIVO hard drives?
[11:49] <sirlark> jolaren: or bin2iso
[11:49] <halvor> aperson: i managed to add the medibuntu karmic repo
[11:49] <vak> aperson: OK, thx.
[11:50] <Dday> ActionParsnip1, what guide shoul i use?
[11:50] <rob_p> vak: http://linhost.info/vmware/ has 9.04 but I didn't see any 9.10.  Their VM appliances are very good though.
[11:50] <halvor> aperson: but sudo apt-get install skype or skype-common returns with Couldn't find package
[11:50] <aperson> halvor, did you run an apt-get update first?
[11:50] <halvor> aperson: sure, still nothing
[11:50] <alfabetic> ActionParsnip1: what do you mean by little ?
[11:50] <vak> rob_p: hey, thanks!
[11:51] <rob_p> vak: welcome
[11:51] <tuntun> Is there a program for reading TIVO hard drives filesystem?
[11:51] <aperson> tuntun, doesn't look like it
[11:51] <c_nick> How can i delete all those nasty home folders.. i created in the due course
[11:51] <halvor> aperson: Hit http://packages.medibuntu.org karmic Release.gpg  Ign http://packages.medibuntu.org karmic/free Translation-en_US
[11:51] <c_nick> i want to delete all the files in there .. if i do rm *.* it removes besides the hidden ones
[11:51] <halvor> aperson: it should be okkei, don't you think?
[11:52] <c_nick> how can i delete the entire folder.. ie remove all the hidden files,folders normal files
[11:52] <aperson> halvor, afaik, yeah.  I double-checked, skype should be in their repos
[11:52] <amelius> c_nick: rm -rf $folder_name
[11:52] <tuntun> I have a HDD with a UDF filesystem. Is there a program to mount?
[11:52] <c_nick> ok thanks amelius
[11:52] <lartza_> Could somebody help me get fglrx work on an older display card(integrated)?
[11:52] <lartza_> I installer xorg-driver-fglrx, but it doesn't work
[11:53] <lartza_> fglxinfo and glxinfo only give me errors
[11:54] <lartza_> I'm not even sure if my integrated card is supported, is there way to install older fglrx?
[11:54] <katakbuta> whats the cmd to add admin user
[11:54] <mcphail> tuntun: can you mount it via the loop device?
[11:54] <lartza_> katakbuta: THere is no admin user
[11:54] <grawity> katakbuta: Add the user to 'admin' group.
[11:54] <jsoft_> :)
[11:54] <grawity> katakbuta: The command is 'gpasswd'.
[11:54]  * jsoft_ is mincing around with lisp
[11:55] <grawity> tuntun: Ubuntu should already come with UDF support - at least read-only (it's needed for reading DVDs)
[11:55] <epinky> vak: Desktop: http://vm.swingrider.net/ubuntu/910/  Server:http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/#ubuntu9.10
[11:55] <tuntun> mcphail, It won't mount the HDD
[11:55] <katakbuta> lartza_: i mean giving the user ability to use sudo
[11:56] <lartza_> add him to the sudoers list
[11:56] <lartza_> visudo
[11:56] <katakbuta> okay
[11:56] <mcphail> tuntun: what error do you get?
[11:56] <tuntun> grawity, That's what I though
[11:56] <lartza_> or EDITOR=nano visudo
[11:56] <lartza_> then take example from the root
[11:56] <lartza_> it's omething like user ALL=(ALL)
[11:56] <grawity> katakbuta: I already told you - add user to the 'admin' group. This will automatically let him use 'sudo'.
[11:57] <tuntun> mcphail, "unable to mount location, can't mount file"
[11:57] <c_nick> i get this error all the time when i try to add the weather applet.. The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_GWeatherApplet". do u want to delete this applet from your configuration.. someone told me that there is config file somewhere when u delete that file.. it regenerates a new one.. thus resolving all the issues
[11:57] <mcphail> tuntun: and what command did you use to mount it?
[11:57] <lartza_> !ati
[11:57] <tuntun> mcphail, just double click
[11:57] <aperson> tuntun, from what I was reading, you can't read the filesystem on a tivo hdd
[11:58] <mcphail> tuntun: try mounting it from the command line and see what happens
[11:59] <diddy> Where are Desktop background images stored under Ubuntu 9.10 ?
[11:59] <Kartagis> diddy, /usr/share
[12:00] <aperson> diddy, /usr/share/backgrounds
[12:00] <tuntun> mcphail, the drive is labelled 'SCSI Drive' the device is 'sdb', what is the command to mount it?
[12:01] <diddy> Kartagis, aperson : Thank you. But what if I want to use my own image. What is a good location to store it?
[12:01] <Kartagis> diddy, same place
[12:01] <sirlark> ActionParsnip1: Is the lack of the ant package setting up ANT_HOME something that should be reported to someone upstream? I'm assuming Ubuntu manages environment variables in packages, and this seems to go against the 'just works' principle
[12:01] <diddy> Kartagis, but only root has access to that folder.
[12:01] <_scavenger_> diddy, or in your home directory's Pictures folder.
[12:01] <mcphail> tuntun: try "sudo mount -o loop /dev/sdb /path/to/mount/point" first
[12:02] <aperson> diddy, I use my home folder under pictures/wallpaper
[12:02] <isolat3dsh33p> diddy: at /usr/share/
[12:02] <c_nick> getting an ssh problem .. if i try to connect from the terminal i can connect.. but if i try to connect from the Places ->connect to server does not work.. its not giving me the option of ssh
[12:02] <aperson> diddy, you can store them anywhere you want, really
[12:02] <grawity> c_nick: How exactly are you connecting?
[12:02] <black-lio3n> hi all
[12:02] <c_nick> now i have to use the terminal.. ssh username@ipaddress
[12:02] <grawity> c_nick: What 'Connect to server' calls SSH is actually SFTP (file transfer over SSH).
[12:02] <diddy> OK, TY
[12:02] <aperson> !hi | black-lio3n
[12:03] <Kartagis> I'm trying to help someone and he says he doesn't have mobile broadband under edit connections under the network icon
[12:03] <grawity> c_nick: 'Connect to server' is not for interactive connections, only file access.
[12:03] <Kartagis> what gives?
[12:03] <c_nick> grawity: but it does give an option for SSH here even thats not there it just says custom location
[12:03] <black-lio3n> Method of dividing Alhardsk
[12:03] <grawity> c_nick: I know it says SSH. But it's only for file transfer, not for shell access.
[12:04] <c_nick> ohk so how should i get that enabled
[12:04] <jakaPre> On one machine, which is connected to internet via cabel I created a shared folder, but I can't see it on my laptop(connected with wireless AP). They should be in the same LAN, right? I gave all permissions also read-write. What else doI need to set up???
[12:04] <c_nick> i mean to connect and transfer that files
[12:04] <c_nick> between two terminals
[12:04] <tuntun> aperson, I used tivo to mean pvr, It's actually from a pvr
[12:04] <aperson> tuntun, ahh, that makes all the difference then
[12:05] <aperson> jakaPre, what's the client's os?
[12:05] <_scavenger_> Hi all, I ran ifdown yesterday and now my wireless is gone (Enable Wireless is grayed out, too) - how do I give control of my network interface back to NM?
[12:05] <tuntun> mcphail. " you must specify the filesystem type"
[12:05] <isolat3dsh33p> Kartagis: There's suppose to be a mobile broadband tab in the internet settings dialog
[12:05] <tuntun> aperson, in what way?
[12:05] <jakaPre> ubuntu 8.10 .... and on laptop ubuntu 9.10
[12:05] <mcphail> tuntun: try adding "-t udf"
[12:05] <isolat3dsh33p> *Network connections dialog
[12:06] <aperson> tuntun, well, a pvr could mean anything that records video. a tivo is a tivo
[12:06] <arand> _scavenger_: I've been looking for answers on that as well, so far my only option is to reboot.
[12:06] <c_nick> grawity:  ??
[12:06] <Kartagis> isolat3dsh33p, he says he doesn't
[12:06] <vak> epinky: thanks!
[12:06] <grawity> c_nick: What do you want to do, then? File transfer? Or shell access?
[12:06] <SaBot> If I am installing ubuntu with a windows xp partition and partitioning manually, do I want to set any of my ubuntu partitions as bootable?
[12:06] <_scavenger_> @arand Rebooting doesn't work...
[12:06] <isolat3dsh33p> Kartagis: ask him which version of Ubuntu he's using.
[12:07] <jakaPre> aperson ... I'm sorry ... There's a 9.04 version on client PC machine
[12:07] <Kartagis> isolat3dsh33p, 8.04
[12:07] <ActionParsnip1> sirlark: log a bug
[12:07] <arand> _scavenger_: have you put down any specifics in /etc/network/interfaces
[12:07] <c_nick> also i can connect to someone but the other person cannot connect to me
[12:07] <_scavenger_> f
[12:08] <_scavenger_> @arand That file looks OK.
[12:08] <grawity> c_nick: For shell access, 'ssh'. For transferring files, 'scp' and 'sftp'.
[12:08] <grawity> c_nick: For incoming connections (friend to your PC), install 'openssh-server'.
[12:08] <tuntun> mcphail; for "sudo mount -t udf /dev/sdb /media/udf" i get 'wrong fs type...
[12:08] <sirlark> ActionParsnip1: sorry to ask, but where, ubuntu.org?
[12:08] <c_nick> i had done that..
[12:08] <Dday> actionparsnip http://pastebin.com/m7d4a88c5
[12:08] <sirlark> ActionParsnip1: I'm a gentooist normally *ducks for cover* ;)
[12:08] <ikonia> tuntun: your hard disk is udf ?
[12:08] <mcphail> tuntun: how do you know it is a udf filesystem?
[12:09] <aperson> jakaPre, do hostnames resolve on your network?
[12:09] <ActionParsnip1> sirlark: i like gentoo, it runs my fileserver
[12:09] <c_nick> grawity:  it is already the newest version.. but.. when i try to connect to myself from another terminal it says.. Warning.. and gives me a error condition..ie cannot connect
[12:09] <isolat3dsh33p> Kartagis: I'm not sure I can help, no experience in that. But, just in case, ask him to type « NetworkManager » in the terminal. and it's case sensitive
[12:09] <jakaPre> aperson: how do I find that out ??
[12:09] <Otacon22> How can i say to sshd to don't print out on wich OS it is running ? With a simple nmap someone can see "22/tcp open  ssh     OpenSSH 5.1p1 Debian 6ubuntu2 (protocol 2.0)"
[12:09] <grawity> c_nick: Have you tried reading that message?
[12:10] <c_nick> yes
[12:10] <ActionParsnip1> sirlark: although its getting replaced soon as its older than the hills and is slowly failing
[12:10] <grawity> Otacon22: You'd have to recompile sshd for that, I think.
[12:10] <arand> _scavenger_: Might want to try true/false toggling the managed option in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf also (reboot in between might be necess)
[12:10] <Otacon22> lol.
[12:10] <aperson> jakaPre, well, it sounds like they don't, can you try opening up nautilus and entering in: smg://IPOFHOSTWITHSHARE/sharename/ ?
[12:10] <grawity> smb://*
[12:10] <_scavenger_> @arand Thanks, I'll try that.
[12:10] <dimitar> i have the question
[12:11] <c_nick> grawity: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
[12:11] <c_nick> @    WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!     @
[12:11] <c_nick> @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
[12:11] <c_nick> IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY! Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)! It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
[12:11] <c_nick> Host key verification failed.
[12:11] <FloodBot3> c_nick: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:11] <isolat3dsh33p> dimitar: Just ask
[12:11] <dimitar> if i install KDE beside GNOME and then i unistall GNOME will i be still able to use GNOME app?
[12:11] <c_nick> sorry for flooding :)
[12:11] <LogicFan> dimitar, yes and if any gnome libraries are needed, it will be a requirement of the gnome app and install them as needed
[12:12] <grawity> c_nick: Okay, what does the message dell you to do?
[12:12] <tuntun> ikonia, its a HDD from a pvr, formated as udf  according to info from a forum discussion
[12:12] <dimitar> LogicFan:thank you...
[12:12] <ActionParsnip1> dimitar: sure but you will need to reinstall the app you want so you can reinstal the deps it needs
[12:12] <tuntun> mcphail its a HDD from a pvr, formated as udf  according to info from a forum discussion
[12:12] <dimitar> ActionParsnip1:thanks
[12:12] <_scavenger_> @dimitar Open up Synaptic and remove Gnome, then before clicking 'Apply' set the GNOME apps you want to keep.
[12:12] <ikonia> tuntun: most odd to be udf
[12:12] <Sacho> c_nick: note the last part of the message
[12:13] <mcphail> tuntun: are there any partitions on the disk?
[12:13] <c_nick> Sacho:  it tells me to add it
[12:13] <ikonia> tuntun: could you show me the output of "sudo fdisk -l" in a pastebin please
[12:13] <c_nick> in known list of hosts.. but i cannot go everywhere adding right ?
[12:13] <dimitar> _scavenger_ok i am installing now KDE.
[12:13] <Sacho> "It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed"
[12:13] <papul> hi guys
[12:13] <grawity> c_nick: You just need to remove the incorrect key.
[12:13] <tuntun> ikonia, yes, its from a dvd burning pvr
[12:14] <c_nick> hmm
[12:14] <papul> i strange problem has occured
[12:14] <erUSUL> Otacon22: either way nmap uses tcp fingerprinting to find out the OS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP/IP_stack_fingerprinting
[12:14] <leonbravo> hi there
[12:14] <ikonia> tuntun: I'd expect the files to be udf - not the disk file system
[12:14] <grawity> c_nick: And it tells you from where to remove.
[12:14] <dimitar> leonbravo hi
[12:14] <leonbravo> a little help
[12:14] <grawity> erUSUL: Fingerprinting can detect Linux, but not Debian
[12:14] <c_nick> it says offending key : 5
[12:14] <ikonia> tuntun: show me the output of sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb please in a pastebin
[12:14] <dimitar> leonbravo ask?
[12:14] <grawity> c_nick: It even tells you the filename and the line number.
[12:14] <leonbravo> sudo aptitude update
[12:15] <erUSUL> grawity: point taken
[12:15] <papul> whenever i start empathy i get a message that a application account manager wants to acces the default keyring and then i have to enter my pass. this didnt happened before. whats wrong??
[12:15] <dimitar> laonbravo:what with that?
[12:15] <leonbravo> it s trying to access a proxy
[12:15] <jakaPre> aperson: can't handle smg ... both computers
[12:15] <dimitar> leonbravo:be specific?
[12:15] <tuntun> mcphail, im not sure, mountmanager doesn't show any
[12:15] <leonbravo> that I only use at uni
[12:15] <leonbravo> not at home where i am
[12:15] <mcphail> tuntun: use ikonia's command
[12:15] <leonbravo> let me show you
[12:16] <bazhang> leonbravo, dont paste here use pastebin
[12:16] <grawity> papul: Is it the same as your login password?
[12:16] <grawity> papul: Do you have autologin enabled?
[12:16] <papul> yup
[12:16] <papul> i have autologin enabled
[12:16] <leonbravo> pastebin?
[12:16] <bazhang> !paste | leonbravo
[12:16] <papul> grawity, why what happened? should i disable it?
[12:17] <aperson> jakaPre, smb
[12:17] <grawity> papul: When you login normally, Ubuntu uses the password you entered to automatically unlock the keyring.
[12:17] <drakhan> can I change window manager in xfce from metacity to fluxbox?
[12:17] <papul> ohhh ok grawity
[12:17] <grawity> papul: When you have auto-login enabled, Ubuntu doesn't know the password. So it asks you to unlock the keyring.
[12:17] <c_nick> hmm
[12:17] <grawity> papul: You can open 'Passwords and Encryption Keys', and then change the keyring's password to a blank one.
[12:18] <papul> grawity, i guess thats not a good thing to do
[12:18] <jakaPre> aperson: Error: Failed to mount Windows share
[12:18] <jakaPre> Please select another viewer and try again.
[12:18] <mcphail> tuntun: please paste to a pastebin rather than pm. That way anyone in the channel can help
[12:18] <jakaPre> aperson: that was client machine..
[12:18] <tuntun> mcphail, ok
[12:18] <grawity> papul: Why not? You already have auto-login enabled. Removing the keyring's password won't decrease security.
[12:18] <papul> grawity, i'll let it remain
[12:19] <papul> grawity, thanks for the help :)
[12:19] <mcphail> tuntun: anyway, doesn't look as if the disk has been partitioned. I wonder if the information you have on its format is correct?
[12:19] <leonbravo> ttp://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6df7fdff
[12:19] <jakaPre> aperson: on the PC it still can't handle 'smp'
[12:20] <aperson> smb
[12:20] <tuntun> mcphail, ikonia, I see it says 'Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table'
[12:20] <papul> i hate the debian installation system
[12:20] <ikonia> tuntun: that's interesting, I'd expect to have at least one partition there
[12:21] <ActionParsnip1> papul: use the minimal installation then, uses apt-get to install the system you want :)
[12:21] <jakaPre> aperson: ... ok it works on PC (share host)...
[12:21] <tobiasz> lmao lol wut as I enabled the virtualisation feature in my mainboards bios the installation of windows xp on virtualbox went well
[12:21] <manjula> Hi again all...
[12:21] <SaBot> Whats the difference between the minimal install and using the alternative cd and installing CLI?
[12:21] <papul> ActionParsnip1, thats not what i mean. i mean to say that i hate the way apt-get installs software
[12:22] <papul> ActionParsnip1, its not fast
[12:22] <jakaPre> aperson: but on laptop there's still an error:
[12:22] <jakaPre> Error: Failed to mount Windows share
[12:22] <jakaPre> Please select another viewer and try again.
[12:22] <erUSUL> SaBot: minimal downloads most packages from the net, alternate uses the cdrom.
[12:22] <mcphail> tuntun: are there any clues to the filesystem type if you run "sudo hd /dev/sdb | head"?
[12:22] <grawity> papul: You forgot "uses a lot of CPU"
[12:22] <_scavenger_> @papul It is. Ever tried to install Flash? It takes ages.
[12:22] <papul> grawity, yea
[12:22] <tuntun> mcphail, ikonia, Here's something I missed : "requires a firmware disc from panasonic in the drive so that it can format HDD correctly" I guess the filesystem must be custom or proprietry
[12:22] <erUSUL> SaBot: the minimal iso is smaller
[12:23] <papul> pacman is fast
[12:23] <ikonia> tuntun: wow - yes
[12:23] <papul> ^^^ in arch
[12:23] <mcphail> tuntun: that would be my guess as well
[12:23] <manjula> i have a intel 82G33/G31 Express onboard graphic card and after i installed ubunut 9.10 i am unable to get in to  1024×768 	resolution or higher. can some one help me ?
[12:23] <SaBot> erUSUL: if install all the default packages that the minimal install does, is there a large difference in performace between the two?
[12:23] <SaBot> *if you
[12:24] <papul> !patebinit
[12:24] <papul> !pastebinit
[12:24] <erUSUL> SaBot: both install the same packages. one from internet mainly and the other from the cdrom mainly
[12:24] <erUSUL> !minimal | SaBot
[12:24] <tuntun> mcphail, the command gets random characters.
[12:24] <SaBot> alright then, thanks
[12:24] <mcphail> tuntun: it was a long shot...
[12:24] <warddr> hello, after I installed updates in ubuntu (wubi), I can't boot ubuntu anymore, I only get a grub commandline window, is this a common problem? And does anyone know a solution?
[12:25] <papul> wubi is not a good option to install ubuntu
[12:25] <warddr> I know, it was just for testing if all the drivers work well
[12:25] <manjula> i have a intel 82G33/G31 Express onboard graphic card and after i installed ubunut 9.10 i am unable to get in to  1024×768 	resolution or higher. can some one help me ?
[12:25] <_scavenger_> @warddr Did the set of updates contain a kernel upgrade?
[12:26] <papul> manjula, ubunut???
[12:26] <tuntun> mcphail, ikonia, thanks for your help
[12:26] <warddr> _scavenger_, I installed every ubuntu 9.10 update since the CD was made
[12:26] <manjula> papul: sorry typo ubuntu
[12:26] <warddr> First time I updated
[12:26] <papul> manjula, ur monitor size?
[12:26] <manjula> i have a intel 82G33/G31 Express onboard graphic card and after i installed ubuntu 9.10 i am unable to get in to  1024×768 	resolution or higher. can some one help me ?
[12:26] <mcphail> tuntun: i think you're going to have to hunt through some more forums to find a way for this
[12:26] <papul> !repeat | manjula
[12:27] <manjula> papul: i think its 15 inches
[12:27] <_scavenger_> @warddr OK.
[12:27] <papul> manjula, ur monitor size?
[12:27] <isolat3dsh33p> guys, which should I install, wine from the repo or wine from its website?
[12:27] <papul> manjula, 15 inches dont support more than 1027*768 reso i guess
[12:27] <_scavenger_> @warddr Try to download the Super Grub Disk.
[12:27] <leonbravo> hi again, please check my problem http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m78cc6709
[12:27] <papul> i may be wrong
[12:27] <superpiiii> how do I install gnome on ubuntu server edition?
[12:27] <ActionParsnip1> papul: if you install minimal it will only install what you need to install rather than the many Gb of data which comes with a bloated install of ubuntu
[12:28] <manjula> papul: then i think its 17 inches coz anyway i use to work in hihger resoultion with previous ubuntu and also in windows
[12:28] <_scavenger_> @warddr Super Grub Disk is a small ISO file. I believe Wubi can boot (run) from ISO files.
[12:28] <warddr> _scavenger_, And what exactly should I do with it?
[12:28] <ActionParsnip1> superpiiii: why did you install server when you wanted a desktop system?
[12:28] <dimitar> leonbravo:change the server
[12:28] <erUSUL> superpiiii: sudo aptitude install gnome-desktop-envoirment
[12:28] <_scavenger_> @warddr In the first menu, choose Super Grub Disk. In the second, !LINUX!. Ubuntu should start normally.
[12:28] <erUSUL> superpiiii: or ubuntu-desktop if you want the whole lot
[12:28] <nitsckie> hi all
[12:28] <ActionParsnip1> superpiiii: if you install that you will get exactly the same as the desktop system with an extra kernel installed
[12:28] <leonbravo> i tried using graphical options it gave me the same erro
[12:29] <isolat3dsh33p> manjula: « lspci -k »
[12:29] <dimitar> leonbravo:change the update server from update manager
[12:29] <leonbravo> other select best server
[12:29] <ActionParsnip1> superpiiii: you have just defeated the whole reason there are 2 different install models
[12:29] <leonbravo> i tried that
[12:29] <manjula> papul: ok what info u want from that ?
[12:29] <mcphail> Is there a channel for ubuntu on ARM?
[12:29] <dimitar> leonbravo:first set the main server then try to update then change to best server
[12:30] <leonbravo> the problem it s not with the server but somehow it keeps the proxy in some place
[12:30] <papul> manjula, ????
[12:30] <warddr> _scavenger_, I'll give it a try
[12:30] <manjula> papul: it print out lot of info
[12:30] <leonbravo> ok, let me try
[12:30] <_scavenger_> @warddr Good luck.
[12:30] <manjula> papul:  u want me to pastebin it ?
[12:30] <papul> manjula, i dint ask that
[12:30] <manjula> papul: lspci -k ?
[12:30] <nitsckie> sorry for intruding but can someone help with a problem i have with my ubuntu?
[12:30] <Homely_Girl> Hi any brains know how to set up a Three mobile b/band dongle on karmic?? :)
[12:30] <papul> manjula, isolat3dsh33p asked u that
[12:31] <manjula> papul: sorry :-(
[12:31] <c_nick> I am having a USB issue.. i installed U9.10 on my PC and on another PC.. now on my PC I did not erase the home directory while on the other PC its a fresh install.. Now. when i connect the USB on my PC i have to mount it and use it .. while on the other PC is automated.. can someone help me in making it automated even here on my PC
[12:31] <Slart> nitsckie: just describe your problem.. if someone has an answer they most likely will answer
[12:31] <manjula> isolat3dsh33p: sorry i was talking ot papul .. what infor u need from lspci -k ?
[12:31] <mcphail> Homely_Girl: last time I tried that it was "plug and play", but your dongle may vary!
[12:32] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie Of course.
[12:32] <Homely_Girl> mcphail: I got karmic seeing it, but not sure wot numbers to put in where on properties
[12:32] <nitsckie> my ubuntu freezes at the startup screen, the one with the white circle thingy
[12:32] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie No error messages or anything?
[12:32] <mcphail> Homely_Girl: I just selected "3" from the list which NetworkManager offered me, but that was on Jaunty...
[12:33] <nitsckie> nothing just hangs
[12:33] <manjula> isolat3dsh33p: ????????????????
[12:33] <isolat3dsh33p> manjula, the VGA...
[12:33] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie No HDD activity either?
[12:33] <nitsckie> nope nothing
[12:33] <isolat3dsh33p> manjula, check the kernel modules...
[12:33] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie Hit Control+Alt+F1 through F8 - does it say anything out of the ordinary?
[12:34] <manjula> isolat3dsh33p: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 10)
[12:34] <Homely_Girl> mcphail: Hmmm....I found Three eventually 'n when I put in the info I am not sure if I put my dongle's no in username or wot??
[12:34] <nitsckie> I did hit Control+Alt+F1 but a blue/green line just appears across the sceen
[12:34] <isolat3dsh33p> manjula: kernel driver?
[12:34] <c_nick> where can i find the configuration file for the applet
[12:35] <c_nick> gnome applet
[12:35] <mcphail> Homely_Girl: as I recall it didn't ask me for any more information than selecting the network. I only used it once (borrowed it from a friend to see if it would work)
[12:35] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie And the other ones?
[12:35] <nitsckie> i went into recovery mode, did all my updates and it worked, then did some work rebooted and it was there again
[12:35] <_scavenger_> @nitckie So Ubuntu works in recovery mode but it doesn't in 'normal' mode?
[12:36] <Homely_Girl> mcphail: I'll see if my ex can bring me a copy of Jaunty then!! I couldn't run Intrepid on my current hardware but installed 'n run karmic no probs! :)
[12:36] <nitsckie> that right @_scavenger_
[12:36] <peaceful1> when I want 2 install chrome i c this erorr what should i do http://iaudiophile.net/forums/picture.php?albumid=75&pictureid=439
[12:36] <Homely_Girl> mcphail: I refuse to give up 'n go windblows!! I hate MS!!
[12:36] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie And none of the TTYs give anything, except for a mysterious blue/green line on TTY 1?
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> peaceful1:  uninstall the google-chriome-unstable pacakge first
[12:37] <mcphail> Homely_Girl: it will probably be a different version of the dongle. i think most of them are linux compatible so stick with it. I can only suggest you do a bit of googling for your particular model
[12:37] <nitsckie> TTY ? I am a bit of newbie to this
[12:37] <Homely_Girl> mcphail: Thanks 4 the advice. :)
[12:37] <leonbravo> dimitar: same problem says check your network
[12:37] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie Sorry. If you hit Control + Alt + one of the F keys, you open a TTY.
[12:37] <nitsckie> just with TTY 1
[12:38] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie The other ones are black?
[12:38] <nitsckie> @_savanger_ the other do nothing
[12:38] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie Mysterious. Do you have an Ubuntu CD lying around?
[12:38] <leonbravo> don t know why try to access proxy
[12:39] <nitsckie> @_savanger_ yes .. on my desk
[12:39] <drssth1> Has anyone installed ATI graphic driver on karmic? My problem is: I cannot generate deb files from "ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run". I can generate 7 files from "ati-driver-installer-9-12-x86.x86_64.run", but those deb files did not act like a ati driver($ aticonfig  =>  aticonfig: No supported adapters detected). if I run the 9-3 version, I always get the error like this:

[12:39] <FloodBot3> drssth1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:40] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie You could try booting from it, opening your hard drive from Places > Computer, and looking at /var/log/bott.msg
[12:40] <drssth1> thanks
[12:40] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie *boot.msg
[12:40] <nitsckie> @_scavenger_ will do that right now
[12:40] <Exaltia> hi there
[12:41] <Exaltia> is kvm able to simulate multiple screens?
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> Exaltia:  what do you mean by 'kvm' ?
[12:41] <Exaltia> Kernel Virtual Machine
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> KVM has a dozen meanings :) heh.
[12:41] <Exaltia> Dr_Willis, sorry :)
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> peaceful1:  ask your questions in here. I basically Ignore all IM's
[12:43] <drssth1> Has anyone installed ATI graphic driver on karmic?  My problem is: I cannot generate deb files from "ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run".

[12:43] <manjula_> isolat3dsh33p: sorry i got disconnected from internet
[12:43] <manjula_> isolat3dsh33p: intel-agp is the kernel module
[12:43] <_scavenger_> @dressth1 Why do you need to generate deb files?
[12:43] <manjula_> isolat3dsh33p: intel-agp is the kernel module
[12:43] <leonbravo> some help please, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5c8f97fc
[12:44] <manjula_> isolat3dsh33p: sorry i got  Disconnected from internet
[12:44] <drssth1> The original file is '.run', I have to get some .deb files so I could install them.
[12:44] <dimitar> i installed KDE in ubuntu...how can i unistall GNOME now?
[12:45] <bazhang> !purekde | dimitar
[12:45] <dimitar> bazhang,ubottu...and after that i can install GNOME app with library support off course?
[12:45] <manjula_> isolat3dsh33p: ???????
[12:45] <drssth1> You mean I dont have to generate deb files? I was following amd's instructions.
[12:46] <mcphail> dimitar: any reason you need to drop GNOME completely? Unless you are very short of disk space it can coexist quite happily
[12:46] <bazhang> dimitar, the gnome libs will be pulled in as necessary, yes
[12:46] <dimitar> ok
[12:46] <dimitar> thank you all guys
[12:46] <_scavenger_> @drsth1 I'm not familiar with AMD drivers, but generating your own DEB files is'nt common.
[12:47] <nitsckie> @_scavenger_ that file just stated "Nothing has been looged yet"
[12:47] <mcphail> Is there a support channel for ubuntu on ARM?
[12:47] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie You might want to start a thread about this on the Ubuntu forum.
[12:47] <leonbravo> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5c8f97fc
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> !arm
[12:48] <drssth1> Thanks for your suggestion
[12:48] <ActionParsnip1> mcphail: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/arm
[12:48] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie Include your full system specs and stuff.
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> Ive been trying to google to see if theres any arm-based netbooks out yet. :( cant seem to find any
[12:48] <boritek> hello. i have 4GB RAM installed in my laptop but bios see only 3GB, lshw command see 4GB, but system monitor and /proc/meminfo see 3GB in total. How can i make the system use all the 4GB RAM? i have a 64bit ubuntu karmic koala.
[12:48] <_scavenger_> @boritek Are you sure you have a 64bit laptop?
[12:48] <mcphail> Dr_Willis: I have just got hold of a SheevaPlug and am wondering whether to keep ubuntu or switch to debian
[12:49] <bazhang> boritek, what does uname -m in terminal say
[12:49] <boritek> _scavenger_: yes
[12:49] <drssth1> No, mine is a 32 one
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> boritek:  even with 4gb theres still some memory reserved by the  system. But 1gb missing seems extreme.
[12:49] <drssth1> thanks for your suggestion
[12:49] <boritek> core duo
[12:49] <Slart> boritek: are you sure your motherboard supports more than 3GB?
[12:49] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_Willis: http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/touchbook/info.htm
[12:49] <bazhang> boritek, core duo is not 64 bit
[12:49] <boritek> Slart: yes
[12:49] <korpatalik> hi
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> mcphail:  no idea what is better. :) depends on your needs I guess. - only ARM thing i got is my NSLU2
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip1:  looking now. :)
[12:49] <boritek> the manual says i can extend it to 4GB
[12:50] <boritek> it is: Acer Aspire 9422WSMi
[12:50] <boritek> laptop
[12:50] <Slart> boritek: check uname -m .. like bazhang said..
[12:50] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_Willis: http://jkkmobile.blogspot.com/2009/01/meet-pegatron-199-arm-based-netbook.html
[12:50] <bazhang> boritek, core2duo is, core duo is not; install linux-generic-pae for all 4GB in 32bit
[12:50] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_Willis: looks niiiice
[12:50] <mcphail> Dr_Willis: just wondering how long the support on ARM will be. I don't think the SheevaPlug is supported beyond 9.04 so ubuntu may not be my best choice for serverOS
[12:50] <boritek> uname -m : x86_64
[12:51] <bazhang> boritek, did you mean core2duo?
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> mcphail:  well i Thought ive seen arm based netbooks out with ubuntu at some sites.. and other arm based ubuntu gizmos.
[12:51] <boritek> bazhang: ok tx, but right now it is a 64bit system
[12:51] <boritek> yes core2duo
[12:51] <Slart> boritek: hmm.. I didn't think 64bit ubuntu even started on a 32bit processor.. but if you're running 64bit then I don't know why it's not seeing all your memory.. odd
[12:51] <boritek> T5200
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> mcphail:  all these articals i read go on about how arm could be the next big thing for mobile devices.. but im not seeing any yet.
[12:52] <mcphail> Dr_Willis: seems ideal for my home web/fileserver. It only draws 7 watts
[12:52] <bazhang> boritek, what does free -m in terminal say
[12:52] <boritek> Mem:          3018       2493        525          0        272        963
[12:53] <boritek> so its 3GB again
[12:53] <boritek> is it not the bios which stops linux to see and use 4GB memory?
[12:53] <ActionParsnip1> mcphail: check out the fitpc for low power use
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> boritek:  not really
[12:54] <boritek> because it only sees 3GB
[12:54] <manjula_> i have a intel 82G33/G31 Express onboard graphic card and after i installed ubuntu 9.10 i am unable to get in to  1024×768 	resolution or higher. can some one help me ?
[12:54] <boritek> altough i have even upgraded my bios
[12:54] <diddy> What exactly does this regex find? if ($var1 =~ m/[a-z][0-9]{2,5}/i) {
[12:54] <mcphail> ActionParsnip1: i already have my device! I need to know how long 9.04 will be supported on ARM, otherwise I'll need to scrub the install and put on debian
[12:54] <AceKing> Do I need to install Samba to share my printer installed on my Ubuntu computer to my Vista computer?
[12:54] <diddy> One character followed by min 2 up to 5 numbers?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> AceKing:  i think you might have to.  Cups and samba sort of work together.
[12:56] <MohammadR91> WOW
[12:56] <AceKing> Dr_Willis: Thanks, I've been trying to get it to work for a while now.
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. 9.04 was not a LTS. so it will be supported  as long as it would be on other archs Id think.
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> AceKing:  i always install samba anyway :)
[12:57] <ActionParsnip1> AceKing: you can, its way easier
[12:57] <naufrago> hello all
[12:57] <AceKing> Dr_Willis: Do I need t do anything special after I install it?
[12:57] <nitsckie> what is the best vm software for ubuntu currently?
[12:57] <_scavenger_> @nitsckie I prefer VirtualBox.
[12:57] <mcphail> Dr_Willis: that's what I thought/worried. I don't think the processor is supported at all in 9.10 so I'll probably wipe ubuntu
[12:57] <ActionParsnip1> AceKing: the smb.conf may need tweaking but essentially its one of the easiest ways
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> AceKing:  i dont think so.  I always set up my linux users with home shares however. and give them samba passwords
[12:57] <Slart> nitsckie: don't know which is best.. I like virtualbox
[12:57] <ActionParsnip1> nitsckie: none are best nor worst
[12:58] <ActionParsnip1> nitsckie: there is no single best app for anything ever
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> mcphail:  no idea on the current arm status.  Id have to google for more info
[12:58] <sebsebseb> hi
[12:58] <AceKing> Dr_Willis, ActionParsnip1, Thank You!

[12:59] <Dr_Willis> seems like thers 9.10 ARM to me.
[12:59] <nitsckie> i dont want to do a poll. Just asking as someone who is new to this
[12:59] <ActionParsnip1> dimitar: mount its partition(s) and access them via the mount point
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> nitsckie:  clarify what you mean by 'vm'
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> !virtualbox | nitsckie
[13:00] <dimitar> ActionParsnip1:does i always need to do that?
[13:01] <ActionParsnip1> dimitar: maybe, i'm not sure how kde mounts stuff automagically. i dont use automount in any DE
[13:01] <dimitar> ActionParsnip1:what env do you use?
[13:01] <zubin71_> hi. id like to recursively download a few pages from the http://w3schools.com/html/default.asp . however "wget -r --no-parent http://w3schools.com/html/default.asp" does not work. please help
[13:01] <mcphail> Dr_Willis: i think support for this processor was dropped between 9.04-.10
[13:01] <ActionParsnip1> dimitar: lxde
[13:02] <protojay> hey ive got an interesting queston... are there any native linux msn messenger clients that support webcams?
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> mcphail:  no idea. all i know is what i just googled.. and found thouse links
[13:02] <ActionParsnip1> dimitar: it can use automount but i disable it
[13:02] <mcphail> Dr_Willis: cheers
[13:02] <TimH1> Do any of the vm apps deal with USB properly? Have a iPod touch and couldn't update the firmware when I used virtual box.

[13:02] <Dr_Willis> TimH1:  virtualbox-ose diosent ahve usb support.. the one from the virtualbox homepage does
[13:03] <_scavenger_> @TimH I believe only the non-open source version of VirtualBox handles USB more-or-less correctly, as Dr_Willis said.
[13:03] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_Willis: not even for usb mice?
[13:03] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_Willis: ive had usb mice work in the OSE
[13:03] <isolat3dsh33p> manjula, what's you're current resolution?
[13:03] <protojay> anyone?
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip1:  its actually using the system/host os for that i belive. so its not directly accessing the mouse
[13:04] <TimH1> Dr w.  Thanks will try.
[13:04] <ActionParsnip1> protojay: try amsn or emesene
[13:04] <dimitar> ActionParsnip1:what do you think about xfce?
[13:04] <isolat3dsh33p> protojay: No, i guest...
[13:04] <ActionParsnip1> dimitar: its slowly losing its lightweightness
[13:04] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_Willis: weird
[13:04] <dimitar> ActionParsnip1:and gnome?
[13:04] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_Willis: but it does work though :)
[13:04] <ActionParsnip1> dimitar: never bothered with it
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip1:  tahts how it also access teh keyboard and video and sound.. and...  other stuff. :)
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip1:  but it dosent see your actual usb ports.
[13:05] <ActionParsnip1> Dr_Willis: so add the /media folder as a "drive" in the config and and mounted block devices will be accessible

[13:06] <SaBot> man
[13:06] <|StOnE|> is it possible to run fedora 12 or slackware?
[13:06] <AceKing> Dr_Willis, ActionParsnip1, I installed Samba and logged out and back in. When I start Samba I get this error: 49: 	enable spoolss = yes. How can I fix that?
[13:06] <|StOnE|> is it possible to run fedora 12 or slackware on virtual box?
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip1:  not really. :)  if you have a ps2 mouse it sees it as the same thing.
[13:06] <SaBot> I am trying to do this alternative cd, but it keeps stalling when it downloads a specific file as it configures apt

[13:07] <isolat3dsh33p> Dr_Willis: Not Gnome 3.0
[13:08] <|StOnE|> drssth1: and do not have any problem?
[13:08] <OerHeks> |StOnE| yes it is, depending how much memory you have
[13:08] <|StOnE|>  well i have 4gb ddr2
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> isolat3dsh33p:   never noticed..   depends on how you define 'looks like windows' also.. so its a pointless argument
[13:08] <OerHeks> |StOnE|  ah >1Gb is oke
[13:08] <isolat3dsh33p> Dr_Willis: Yeah. Is it fast btw?

[13:09] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: lxde is light in ram
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> gnome 3 screen shots i am finding dont look that radical from the gnome now.
[13:10] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: they are making an official release named Lubuntu, it's gonna be kick ass
[13:10] <OerHeks> |StOnE| don't forget VBoxGuestAdditions iso, for bigger desktop etc.
[13:10] <isolat3dsh33p> Dr_Willis: lxde... Maybe light is the better word..
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> I for one cant STAND lxde or lubuntu isolat3dsh33p .
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> isolat3dsh33p:  i dont like the file manager.. and it really dosent 'add' anything i need.
[13:10] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip1: I'm in their website, lurking.. :D
[13:11] <|StOnE|> VBoxGuestAdditions iso? sorry i dont know too much about vb explai  how to  :)
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> Installing 'lubuntu-desktop' onto a ubuntu system can cause a lot of weirdness last i tried it also.
[13:11] <isolat3dsh33p> Dr_Willis: No new features besides ligthweightness?
[13:11] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: yep, its so close its crazy

[13:12] <sun2> hi hi
[13:12] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip1: Haha, I was just about to try KDE, and now there's lxde... =_=
[13:12] <sun2> hi
[13:12] <_scavenger_> @sun2 hi
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> isolat3dsh33p:  i can get that by running any window manager i want and whatever file manager i want.. Lxde dosent really do much  more then that (well it also adds a few other tools)
[13:13] <isolat3dsh33p> if it's energy saving, then it's suitable for laptops... :D
[13:13] <sun2> _scavenger_, is it night there?
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> isolat3dsh33p:  i doubt if it ads any new/special engery saveing features. at least i dident notice any.
[13:13] <_scavenger_> @sun2 No, it's around mid-day here.
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> isolat3dsh33p:  i did notice it installed wicd and removed the 'network manager' which really goofed things up for me.
[13:14] <SaBot> isolat3dsh33p: if you really want a light windows manager, use dwm
[13:14] <sun2> oh, u r in the another half of earth
[13:14] <sun2> _scavenger_,
[13:14] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: there are tonnes of DEs
[13:14] <_scavenger_> @sun2 No, you are on another half. I'm on this one.
[13:14] <isolat3dsh33p> Dr_Willis: Sounds like dangerous.
[13:15] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: and WMs too
[13:15] <SaBot> ratpoison is the smallest
[13:15] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip1: I only know KDE, GNOME and Xfde
[13:15] <isolat3dsh33p> *Xfce
[13:15] <honky> hi there! i wanted to add a new command to my right-click menu - i used nautilus-actions and added /usr/bin/totem with parameter --enqueue - so far everything works fine but when i click a file the totem starts up but without the fine enqueued - i quess i need to add smth to the parameter so that the file name is passed on - question: what?
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> isolat3dsh33p:  yep. made it a little hard for me to reconnect to the network after i removed the lubuntu-desktop packages.. and it removed wicd and dident put network-manager back on.
[13:15] <sun2> _scavenger_,  ok, I am on one half, you are on one half
[13:16] <sun2> _scavenger_, diff half
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> !info flwm
[13:16] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: look into http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment
[13:16] <SaBot> !info ratpoison
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> see.. flwm is smaller. :)
[13:16] <SaBot> aw
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> !info jwm
[13:17] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip1: but most apps is designed for GNOME and KDE right?
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> if ya get much less then what jwm and flwm have.. you have like NO features.. :)
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> those 2 are about as basic as it gets for a 'normal' type window manager.
[13:18] <isolat3dsh33p> Lxde looks too much like Windows, while I switch to Linux for the different look.. =_=
[13:18] <LjL> isolat3dsh33p: actually quite a few apps are just GTK, not specifically GNOME
[13:18] <specter_> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo
[13:18] <SaBot> isolat3dsh33p: try openbox or fluxbox?
[13:18] <specter_> has anyone tried this?
[13:18] <darthanubis> some ppl everything looks like windows
[13:19] <_scavenger_> @darthanubis Except for the console, which looks like DOS.
[13:19] <SandGorgon> guys.. how to install skype on karmic? I have the medibuntu repos correctly set up, but I get this when I try to install skype "Package skype is not available, but is referred to by another package"
[13:19] <isolat3dsh33p> SaBot, GNOME is fun enough to me. :)
[13:19] <specter_> i wanted to make it work on my vaio p but i could only boot in low grafics mode
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> It has a mouse pinter and windows! its just like windows! egads!
[13:19] <specter_> so i reinstalled ubuntu
[13:19] <isolat3dsh33p> Dr_Willis: I mean the taskbar... :/
[13:20] <darthanubis> SandGorgon, try using Ubuntutweak package. i don't know if I can recommend that?
[13:20] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: you can install and run any app in any DE as long as you satify its deps
[13:20] <sarthorks> ﻿jaunty sound has all of a sudden stopped working. No sound at all. Im on a Dell Inspiron, and i dual boot to Vista. Sound is running fine on Vista. Can anyone help me get it back?
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> isolat3dsh33p:  theres plenty of window maaners that dont ahve a 'panel' type bar.. and thats a speciric program that lxde is using i belive. You could disable it if you really wanted to
[13:20] <LjL> SandGorgon: Skype seems to have disappeared from Medibuntu for some reason that i haven't investigated (but it's been reported by a few people). you can still download the package though, let me fetch the URL
[13:21] <darthanubis> !details | sarthorks
[13:21] <SandGorgon> LjL, oh... that is news
[13:21] <technologiclee> i have a Hardy Heron live CD and i can not install. i have used it befor and it is now running a live session. i have several partitions with ubuntu on it on a 500GB HD. i was running Lucid Lynx and the mouse stopped working, but the music was still playing and i could navigate with the KB. On restart it would show GRUB, start loading the last partition then just a blank screen. When i put the Hardy CD in it showed I/O errors on hundreds of blocks. This 
[13:21] <LjL> SandGorgon: http://packages.medibuntu.org/karmic/skype.html
[13:21] <specter_> is there any way howto update the gma500 for vaio p?
[13:22] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip1: Thanks for the info, but I'll stick with GNOME for now, until they release 3.0. Which looks quite weird and hard... :/
[13:22] <SandGorgon> LjL, thanks!!

[13:22] <dremits1> how can i move the network manager in the tray in GNOME?
[13:22] <_scavenger_> @technologiclee I think your HD died.
[13:22] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: your call, you are using linux so have choice
[13:22] <sebsebseb> !lucid | technologiclee
[13:22] <ActionParsnip1> sarthorks: the fact it works in windows is moot
[13:22] <LjL> SandGorgon: https://bugs.launchpad.net/medibuntu/+bug/494564 here's the reason
[13:22] <FloodBot3> !netsplit
[13:22] <technologiclee> ahhhh  i considered that - any way i can test for sure from a live cd?
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> isolat3dsh33p:  no one really knows what gnome3 will looklike/act. if they follow their 'past' changes - gnome will proberly not be that radically different in its next release.
[13:23] <_scavenger_> Aaah! Netsplit!
[13:23] <sebsebseb> technologiclee: check your ISO is ok if you still have it,  there's also a check on the CD to check if the psyhical CD is ok or not
[13:23] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip1: Yeah, freedom is on linux.. :D
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> isolat3dsh33p:  the trick is to learn 'linux' not the specific desktops. :)
[13:23] <dremits1> how can i move the network manager in the tray in GNOME?
[13:24] <imagodei> Ubuntu 9.04 server running on Single Board Computer AMD GEODE Wafer-LX3. I installed festival text-to-speech, but I got error message: "Linux: can't open /dev/dsp". I installed ALSA and set .festivalrc according to these instructions: http://aanugraha.wordpress.com/2008/12/20/festival-cant-open-devdsp/. Still no joy, getting message that aplay does not recognize file format. I would like to...
[13:24] <imagodei> ...make this machine speak. I'm noob, be gentle :)
[13:24] <_scavenger_> @dremits Right-click on the handle left (next) to the network icon, choose move.
[13:24] <honky> how do i pass a file name in a script - e.g. i want to make
[13:24] <_scavenger_> @imagodei Are you running any other music-related program?
[13:24] <sumit> guys can anybody tell me how do I log out of X to the console prompt? ctrl-alt-bs logs out and puts me back to kdm...
[13:24] <_scavenger_> @imagedei Rhythmbox, perhaps?
[13:24] <isolat3dsh33p> Dr_Willis: Did write some bash. :) Still much more to learn...
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> honky:  the advanced bash scripting guide has examples of that.
[13:24] <linuxman410> where can i get 64 bit iso when i go to website it only gives choice of 32 bit
[13:24] <_scavenger_> @sumit Ctrl+Alt+F1?
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> !abs | honky
[13:25] <dremits1> @_scavenger_ What handle?
[13:25] <cantoma> hey guys, Everytime i want to connect to my university computer I initially do ssh universityuser@universityssh then I do ssh user@myhostname. Is there a way of doing it in one command only?
[13:25] <technologiclee> it skipped all the options - and went directly to the KB selection - i have internet though
[13:25] <ActionParsnip1> honky: you use $1 for the first arg $2 and so on, you can then use: scriptname arg1 arg2
[13:25] <grawity> sumit: Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get into tty1.  Then, if you want, "sudo service stop kdm" to kill KDM (which is still running on tty7)
[13:25] <Oyoz> hi guys,where can i download adode photoshop for ubuntu 9.10 karmic
[13:25] <sumit> scavenger: that works but X doesnt die...its still on display 0, according to the error on typing startx
[13:25] <imagodei> _scavenger_ no, its a fresh install
[13:25] <ActionParsnip1> honky: the $1 etc get sed in the scripts instead of actual values
[13:25] <mobi-sheep> !info gimp | Oyoz
[13:25] <_scavenger_> @dremits It's a bit small... just try right-clicking next to the icons.
[13:26] <ActionParsnip1> Oyoz: you can pay for and download it at www.adobe.com
[13:26] <_scavenger_> @imagodei Have you been running a music player or anything since starting up?
[13:26] <_scavenger_> @ActionParsnip1 No, you can't - PS is Windows/Mac only.
[13:26] <ActionParsnip1> Oyoz: you can check the appdb for compatibility
[13:26] <dremits1> @_scavenger_ I think I got it but it's moving the X chat icon as well
[13:26] <Shubuntu> hi which channel should i go for poptop?
[13:26] <imagodei> _scavenger_ no, nothing.
[13:26] <ActionParsnip1> _scavenger_: you can download it though
[13:26] <_scavenger_> @dremits1 Yeah, it does that.
[13:26] <sumit> grawity: how do we know its on tty7?
[13:27] <ActionParsnip1> _scavenger_: user didnt say it had to work, only download
[13:27] <dremits1> @_scavenger_ thanks!
[13:27] <isolat3dsh33p> so they don't yet develope PS for linux?
[13:27] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: it's adobe. take a guess
[13:27] <dreamy> does anyone knows what "wiki" stands for on "tiddlywiki" ? im tryng to undestand this app
[13:27] <dremits1> @_scavenger_ i'll close xchat and it should be fine. bye
[13:27] <_scavenger_> @imagodei Try a reboot.
[13:27] <grawity> sumit: All Linux distros come with the console login running on six first ttys (tty[1-6]). And X chooses the first free one.
[13:27] <honky> how do i pass a file name in a script - e.g. i want to make  ' totem --enqueue ' and add the end append the file name - this will be used as a right-click menu so not in a terminal with parameters
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> dreamy:  its a 'self docuimenting/editing/ wiki' html page.  You can use it for all sorts of 'notetaking' and other things
[13:27] <ActionParsnip1> Oyoz: you can check compatibility on the addpb
[13:28] <_scavenger_> @honky It usually is something like % of %s
[13:28] <dremits1> @_scavenger_ oh but before i go. how do i add beagle search to the tray?

[13:28] <terrorink> lol
[13:28] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip1: Every Linux apps must be open source?
[13:28] <dreamy> ok..
[13:28] <_scavenger_> @dremits1 Right-click on an empty spot on your panel, choose Add, then pick a nice one.
[13:28] <linuxman410> where can i get 64 bit ubuntu iso when i go to website it only gives choice of 32 bit ubuntu iso
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> dreamy:   since yiou can edit the web site from within the browser. its like the wikipedia sites
[13:28] <terrorink> lol iso not every linux app must be open source
[13:28] <_scavenger_> @isolat3dsh33p Nope.
[13:28] <dreamy> Dr_Willis: what about building a web page?
[13:28] <grawity> dreamy: On the Internet, it usually also means a website easily editable by other users.
[13:28] <dremits1> @_scavenger_ thanks bye
[13:28] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: not always, penumbra and cedega are 2 examples of closed source linux apps
[13:28] <imagodei> @_scavenger_ OK, done, waiting for the macihine to come around.
[13:28] <dreamy> ok ty all

[13:29] <dreamy> k nice
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> dreamy:  many of the tiddlywiki related sites are tiddlywiki documents. You can download teh whole site easially that way
[13:29] <terrorink> Action ! the man with the half linux half human body
[13:29] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip1: Then they could make a product for linux users. I believe the number of linux users has increased.
[13:29] <ActionParsnip1> linuxman410: http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download and click the advanced options
[13:30] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: again, its adobe and adobe are morons so I doubt it will happen
[13:30] <_scavenger_> @isolat3dsh33p Photoshop is an increadibly complex application. Porting it to Linux would cost millions.
[13:30] <linuxman410> thanks
[13:30] <_scavenger_> @isolat3dsh33p It just ain't gonna happen.
[13:30] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: just use gimp
[13:30] <technologiclee> ok the Hardware Testing option starts and then just ends - I guess i get a new HD for christmas - thanks for the tips guys  : )
[13:30] <imagodei> _scavenger_ still getting "aplay: main:459: unrecognized file format -raw"
[13:30] <SaBot> I heard adobe's next update for flashplayer actually works in linux
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> or they could just test it in wine...
[13:31] <imagodei> (quit)
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> I will stick with GIMP.
[13:31] <protojay> _scavenger_, compiling it against winelib wouldnt be too hard
[13:31] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip1, _scavenger_ : gimp is our only hope then. :(
[13:31] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: whats wrong with gimp?
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> isolat3dsh33p:  i perfer gimp to PS. so whatever...
[13:31]  * Dr_Willis can actually AFFORD gimp
[13:31] <_scavenger_> I also prefer gimp over PS.
[13:31] <ActionParsnip1> SaBot: the 64bit alha plugin works fine here, 10.1 has gpu accelleration for new video cards
[13:31] <SaBot> yes
[13:32] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip1: No shape tool, and I'm lazy. LOL
[13:32] <_scavenger_> @protojay I'd like to see you try.
[13:32] <SaBot> Did adobe discontinue fireworks?
[13:32] <protojay> _scavenger_, i dont have the sauces ;)
[13:32]  * Dr_Willis notes that the next release of gimp is  due out in the near futre. or is it out allready?
[13:32] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: then get unlazy. LOL
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> gotta go.. bye.
[13:32] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip1: I will. :)
[13:32] <SaBot> oh no, it's still there, I loved that software much easier than ps
[13:32] <isolat3dsh33p> cya Dr_Willis
[13:33] <sarthorks> ActionParsnip1: ﻿"killall pulseaudio; rm -rf ~/.pulse*    then press alt+f2  and type    pulseaudio   and press enter" doesnt do any good. I was trying to get Skype to work the mic (and sound was fine then). Then i changed a few settings on the Sound preferences, and made alsamixer full, but now the whole sound has gone.
[13:33] <fuzzy_> good morning everybody. so last night i was in here asking for some help with getting my xp cd onto a flash drive, and making it bootable.
[13:33] <SaBot> fuzzy_: I feel your pain
[13:33] <ActionParsnip1> sarthorks: no idea then dude, ive never had a sound issue
[13:33] <SaBot> I got it to work eventually
[13:33] <fuzzy_> i tried unetbootin, and it didnt work.
[13:33] <_scavenger_> @protojay Sigh.
[13:34] <SaBot> I used usb multiboot 10 with petousb 3.0.0.8
[13:34] <karname> Hi , I want to setup raid 0 on my system with 2*1.5 TB hard for ubuntu , how much is better for Stripe Block (I want it for movie data) ?
[13:34] <fuzzy_> SaBot, oh..
[13:34] <SaBot> fuzzy_: Are you doing this inside vista or xp
[13:34] <fuzzy_> sounds complicated :D
[13:34] <isolat3dsh33p> skype's not in the synaptic?
[13:34] <fuzzy_> im doing it inside ubuntu 9.04

[13:36] <sarthorks> ﻿I was trying to get Skype to work the mic (and sound was fine then). Then i changed a few settings on the Sound preferences, and made alsamixer full, but now the whole sound has gone. Restarts dont do any good, neither does "﻿killall pulseaudio; rm -rf ~/.pulse*    then press alt+f2  and type    pulseaudio   and press enter", and i have TESTED all the options that come from the drop down menu in the sound preferences, with static, or or some error
[13:36] <ActionParsnip1> fuzzy_: there are billions of guides if you search
[13:36] <fuzzy_> havent found any that explains how to do it from inside ubuntu
[13:37] <fuzzy_> theres a bunchload of windows apps that can do it
[13:37] <fuzzy_> theres a bunchload of windows apps that can do it
[13:37] <ActionParsnip1> fuzzy_: do yu have a windows system you can use?
[13:37] <fuzzy_> oops,sorry
[13:37] <technologiclee>  wait - under the partition editor i can still see my partitions - that means the HD is doing SOMETHING - now how to recover it with a live CD?
[13:37] <protojay> are there any decent linux rpg games?
[13:37] <fuzzy_> ActionParsnip1, nope
[13:37] <SaBot> fuzzy_: fyi, most of those need to be run under win xp
[13:37] <vozhyk__> How to search in APT-Get? (from terminal)
[13:38] <fuzzy_> SaBot, yes i know
[13:38] <ActionParsnip1> !games | protojay
[13:38] <_scavenger_> @protojay Nah, I never came across any. Zork is cool, though.
[13:38] <mobi-sheep> protojay: I need to try Yo Frankie!  It looks decent.
[13:38] <SaBot> I got WoW to run nicely under WINE once if that counts
[13:38] <fuzzy_> but it gotta be a simple way right? just copy the contents of the iso over to the flashdrive, and go into fdisk to make the stick active and bootable?
[13:38] <scunizi> vozhyk__: you can use apt-cache search <package name> or if you want a cli gui then just type sudo aptitude
[13:39] <ActionParsnip1> protojay: http://www.playdeb.net
[13:39] <vozhyk__> scunizi: thank you
[13:39] <_besH> sometimes after using gnome for a while I get into the situation where I need to hit alt-tab twice to switch windows, instead of once
[13:40] <luist> how can i cound how many .deb files there are inside an specific folder?
[13:40] <llutz> luist: ls -l dir/*.deb|wc -l
[13:40] <Tiders> Is there anyway to make CPU scaling disabled default for every boot
[13:40] <luist> llutz: thanks
[13:41] <_besH> luist: if you want to search subdirs too, find . -name \*.deb | wc -l
[13:42] <isolat3dsh33p> The game frets on fire looks fun.. :D

[13:44] <Tesssa> was trying to download lubuntu,supposed to be 449mbs but the tells me when doanload started xmbs of 749mbs is that a mistake on lubuntu as if that sixe the livecd wikk not fit on a 700 cd anyone advice
[13:44] <scunizi> dataviruset: it's probably doing a drive check by the looks of it.. it may take a while depending on the size of your drives.
[13:44] <llutz> dataviruset: sounds like unclean shutdown, your disks needs to be checked(that takes some time)
[13:44] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: sure, different hardware will allow differnt key combos so you will have to play around a little
[13:44] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: some chords arent playable and this is catered for by allowing 2 finger chords at the detrement of score
[13:45] <dataviruset> ok, thank you guys, i started to get worried :)
[13:45] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip1: Which version did you installed? The repo or the uptodate version?
[13:46] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: i use the mfh mod
[13:47] <specter_> can anyone help me updating my intel gma500 on ubuntu 9.10?
[13:47] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip1: mfh mod? I'm installing it from repo now :D
[13:47] <specter_> i tried this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo
[13:48] <specter_> but after that i was only able to boot with low grafic mode
[13:48] <meero> how to properly cut down ubuntu for 256mb ram old laptop, just for emails, and web?
[13:48] <dataviruset> meero: perhaps xubuntu
[13:49] <brakk> or the USB key version
[13:49] <meero> dataviruset: i like gnome :-)
[13:49] <isolat3dsh33p> gtg, bye
[13:50] <aperson> would it be bad to remove the extra xserver-xorg-video-* packages that I'm not using?
[13:50] <llutz> meero: use minimal-cd
[13:50] <llutz> !minimal
[13:50] <dataviruset> meero: well, xorg is quite like gnome ;)
[13:50] <SaBot> hm
[13:50] <SaBot> ahci is not supported out of the box?
[13:50] <brakk> is that a LFS?
[13:51] <isolat3dsh33p> datacrusher: it's xfce. I believe
[13:51] <dataviruset> isolat3dsh33p: that's right ;o
[13:51] <meero> llutz: what is minimal cd??
[13:51] <isolat3dsh33p> dataviruset: wrong name.. LOL.. :)
[13:52] <llutz> !minimal |meero
[13:52] <dataviruset> isolat3dsh33p: i knoow... i'm getting sad ;(
[13:52] <isolat3dsh33p> haha
[13:52] <meero> dataviruset: yes, its "quite"  like gnome
[13:52] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: it stands on its own and doesnt need anything from the rep
[13:52] <meero> dataviruset: but not gnome
[13:52] <Exaltia> does someone here already tried to run 4 X11 , each on a différent screen, with 2 graphic cards?
[13:52] <dataviruset> meero: :D
[13:53] <dataviruset> !minimal |meero
[13:53] <llutz> meero: imho it's pointless to strip down "bloated" distros, better just install what you really need.
[13:53] <Hiram> Does anyone know if there's an IRC channel for NTOP?
[13:53] <technologiclee> using the system>admin>partition editor - i deleted all partitions, restarted and am now installing from the live cd - yay
[13:53] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip1: I'm downloading the repo version already :(
[13:54] <meero> llutz: sounds, good, so i just install this minimal-cd and then add firefox , thunderbirt etc..?
[13:54] <fuzzy_> ActionParsnip1, do you think wine might be able to run those windows tools in ubuntu?
[13:54] <billy> hello. i had windows 7 and i formatted and install xp (had ubuntu on dual boot). anyway, then it booted straight to win xp. so i reinstalled the the grub loader. and i can boot into ubuntu, but now i cant get into xp. there is a vista menu to lopad uip into vista, but that doesnt take me to win xp, it just crashes. how do i fix this?
[13:54] <llutz> meero: kinda, yes
[13:54] <meero> llutz: why kinda?
[13:54] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: the repo one comes with a few songs, the mod comes with none
[13:55] <isolat3dsh33p> technologiclee: you can always use the "use entire disk" option during the installation. :/
[13:55] <llutz> meero: saving space and using ff/tb sounds... strange
[13:55] <ActionParsnip1> fuzzy_: no idea
[13:55] <fuzzy_> ActionParsnip1, oki
[13:55] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip1: That means you can place your own song to it?
[13:55] <meero> llutz: ok, so what would u use?
[13:56] <ActionParsnip1> isolat3dsh33p: sure
[13:56] <llutz> meero: _i_ would prefer things like opera and mutt/claws
[13:56] <isolat3dsh33p> ActionParsnip1: Awesome! Anyway gtg dinner. cya ^_~
[13:57] <_scavenger_> Bye, sheep!
[13:57] <SaBot> So I have installed ubuntu successfully, but if I do not disable AHCI it runs terribly slow and buggy, otherwise its perfect, a lot of people can use ubuntu with ahci out of the box, so whats the issue here?
[13:57] <meero> llutz: yea me too , but is for my mother, who has problems with finding desktop icons :-) not mentioning the mutt in cli :-)
[13:58] <Azeotrope> I have some users that I don't want to appear in the login window of Karmic.
[13:58] <Rods_Tiger> That's interesting, for the past 8 minutes or so there's been no people in this page, and now I click on it again, there's 1318 suddenly join at once. What are the chances of that happening, eh?
[14:00] <Rods_Tiger> When I ssh into the linux machine using my terminal I'm forever being irritated by the passwords because I can't see what they are so I type them wrong all the time but backspacing doesn't seem to work whenever I type them wrong. Is this an ssh problem?
[14:00] <scunizi> Rods_Tiger: sounds like you visited a different page previously.. this channel is typically over 1100 nicks at all times.
[14:00] <Azeotrope> or had a netplit
[14:00] <Rods_Tiger> 1099 asking questions, 1 answering
[14:00] <vozhyk__> How to download a package with GWget instead of doing it automatically in APT-Get?
[14:00] <burg> hello. how can i make gnome network manager to manage my wired networks? at the moment it only shows wireless networks and it also sais: wired network: device not managed
[14:01] <meero> llutz: do u know in mutts how to view images?
[14:01] <Azeotrope> Rods_Tiger: you don't see * instead of password chars due to security reasons.
[14:02] <Rods_Tiger> there's no need for security - I'm the only one here. What it is doing is preventing me from typing properly
[14:02] <Azeotrope> burg: install drivers?
[14:02] <scunizi> meero: there is an ascii program that will display them but it's more like ascii art.. not really a recognizable picture..
[14:02] <vozhyk__> How to download a package with GWget instead of doing it automatically in APT-Get?
[14:02] <Rods_Tiger> but that's not the issue - the issue is backspacing to correct the inevitable mistakes doesn't seem to be recognised as such
[14:02] <zorrolero> vozhyk__: check http://packages.ubuntu.com, search for your package, copy the link and feed it to wget
[14:03] <scunizi> Rods_Tiger: you're blaming the computer on your typing?
[14:03] <Rods_Tiger> yes
[14:03] <specter_> // add "mem=2000mb" to /etc/default/grub, at the end of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
[14:03] <burg> Azeotrope: at the very first moment after i installed ubuntu, network manager was managing wired network too. then i`ve installed some updates ubuntu asked me to, and it didn`t manage wired networks anymore
[14:03] <llutz> meero: i.e. using zgv
[14:03] <specter_> how does this look like?
[14:03] <meero> scunizi: so there is nothing to display it properly?
[14:03] <specter_> in grub
[14:03] <Rods_Tiger> well, actually, I'm blaming my typing on the computer
[14:04] <meero> llutz: do u know how to configure it? i was unsuccessfull
[14:04] <scunizi> meero: that's why gui's were created for all those wonderful rendering engines
[14:04] <vozhyk__> zorrolero: I know, but I don't know where to place it. maybe /var/cache/apt/ ?
[14:04] <Azeotrope> burg: so you wired network is not working now?
[14:04] <meero> scunizi: yep :-)
[14:04] <specter_> actually i have GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[14:04] <specter_> how do i add mem there
[14:04] <llutz> meero: i did it only once, ages ago. so no, sorry
[14:04] <Rods_Tiger> it takes about 8 or 10 goes to get my password in, because of the mistakes, but I can't backspace over the mistakes once it is made. Is this because of ssh or not?
[14:05] <vozhyk__> zorrolero: I know, but I don't know where to place it. maybe /var/cache/apt/ ?
[14:05] <Rods_Tiger> it seems to treat the backspacing as "wrong"
[14:05] <scunizi> Rods_Tiger: have you tried backspacing a bunch and retyping the entire password?
[14:05] <zorrolero> vozhyk__: dont repeat your questions, we all can read
[14:05] <Rods_Tiger> yes
[14:05] <burg> Azeotrope: it is working, i am connected to internet right now by wired network, but network manager is not managing it, and i don`t know what is managing it, so i can`t change any setting to it
[14:05] <Rods_Tiger> any occurrence of backspacing seems to render the whole effort as "wrong"
[14:06] <burg> Azeotrope: also, the network manager shows the disconnected icon
[14:06] <Azeotrope> burg: pastebin your ifconfig output please
[14:06] <llutz> meero: tried using ~/.mailcap: "image/*;zgv %s"
[14:06] <Rods_Tiger> even excessive backspaces to more than clear all that I've typed
[14:06] <heoa> Which cd-burning program would you recommend in CLI?
[14:06] <Rods_Tiger> heoa - growisofs
[14:06] <scunizi> Rods_Tiger: so pre-prep your password in gedit, nano whatever.. and then just cut and paste it.
[14:06] <zorrolero> vozhyk__: when you downloaded the package you can just "dpkg --install $PACKAGENAME"
[14:06] <Rods_Tiger> no, that's not the solution, that's a diversion
[14:07] <burg> Azeotrope: i`m sorry, i don`t know what`s that and/or where can i find it
[14:07] <Rods_Tiger> the solution is to find out what's objecting to the backspaces. I'm wondering if it's ssh
[14:07] <Azeotrope> I think that Rods_Tiger problem is that ssh parses the backspace as a key code thus adding it to the password
[14:07] <scunizi> Rods_Tiger: that saves you from frustration and your typing skills
[14:07] <luke1234> I have two hard disks ubuntu on the master and xp on the slave. I have tried update grub but xp will no load. I would rather not put grub on the xp drive so I can remove the ubuntu drive and xp will still work
[14:07] <burg> Azeotrope: found it, 1 min
[14:07] <Rods_Tiger> it must be ssh that's doing that then
[14:07] <Azeotrope> burg: go to the terminal, and type     sudo ifconfig
[14:07] <vozhyk__> zorrolero: But it doesn't resolve dependencies
[14:08] <Rods_Tiger> I hate the fussiness of computers - they're ridiculously fussy regarding the delta between what I thype and what I mean
[14:08] <zorrolero> vozhyk__: your problem then
[14:08] <burg> Azeotrope: http://pastebin.ca/1724841
[14:08] <dhananjay> hi all
[14:08] <Rods_Tiger> but usually I can backspace over errors, except in a password, when I'm ssh'ing in from the terminal
[14:08] <_scavenger_> @Rods_Tiger That's not just computers. I remember seeing someone who closed of an email with Retards instead of Regards.
[14:09] <heoa> Rods_Tiger: I have no dvd, just 700Mb cd and I want to burn ubuntu_server_edition.iso. Can I do it with the program?
[14:09] <llutz> heoa: cdrecord
[14:09] <Rods_Tiger> heoa - maybe, but cdrecord would be more direct, but harder to understand at first
[14:10] <Azeotrope> burg: so, after installing wireless and some ubuntu updates this issue appeared?
[14:10] <Rods_Tiger> read up on both cdrecord and growisofs
[14:10] <Azeotrope> burg: check this out http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/after-installation-of-wireless-wired-network-device-is-unmanaged-666691/
[14:10] <Rods_Tiger> they're both needlessly complicated, therefore ideal linux cli programs
[14:10] <Rods_Tiger> but growisofs is a bit more sane
[14:11] <Exaltia> !fr | Exaltia
[14:11] <burg> Azeotrope: yes
[14:12] <Rods_Tiger> heoa - personally I'd never be bothered with the command line while there's better alternatives in guis
[14:12] <heoa> Rods_Tiger: such as?
[14:12] <Azeotrope> burg: check that site.
[14:12] <Rods_Tiger> depends
[14:12] <tim167> hi, i want to "updatedb", but for a specific harddrive partition, how do i specify that ? thanks
[14:12] <Rods_Tiger> what window-occurring thing do you use?
[14:13] <Rods_Tiger> gnome has a way of burning cds that's so simple that nobody can find it
[14:13] <maco> tim167: you dont. locate is systemwide. guess you could use find and specify everytrhing below a ceertain mountpoint....
[14:13] <rahilm> can i install software in ubuntu in, say, another partition?
[14:14] <burg> Azeotrope: that file looks like that: http://pastebin.ca/1724845 , but i`m not shure what to edit/remove
[14:14] <tim167> maco: hmm, so all the disks connected via USB get scanned too by updatedb ?
[14:14] <maco> tim167: yeah, should
[14:15] <tim167> maco, hmm so that means that each time i connect or disconnect a disk i have to do updatedb for the whole system, i can not do it only for the disk i just connected i guess...
[14:15] <maco> tim167: right
[14:15] <llutz> tim167: /etc/updatedb.conf
[14:15] <maco> tim167: you may want to just learn to use the find command...
[14:15] <Azeotrope> burg: comment the last 2 lines and let's see if that works out
[14:15] <tim167> maco, ah ok, i might do that
[14:16] <obaid> does anyone know how to fix gnome-terminal position and dimensions ??
[14:16] <obaid> without --geomtry
[14:16] <Azeotrope> burg: after doing so, do  sudo service network restart
[14:16] <burg> Azeotrope: i get this message: network: unrecognized service
[14:17] <Azeotrope> hmm... uncomment those lines back and restart the service again.
[14:18] <burg> Azeotrope: i get the same message, no matter if those lines are commented or not
[14:19] <obaid> ;zsihf;dsznf;kds;dszlknf
[14:19] <Azeotrope> burg: i'm lost. try to ask somebody with more experience
[14:19] <burg> ok, thanks
[14:19] <obaid> burg, watsup ?
[14:19] <_scavenger_> @obaid Congratulations, your keyboard works.
[14:20] <obaid> yes, good u replayed
[14:20] <ankit_babbar1> can any one help me in ldap

[14:24] <burg> obaid: hello
[14:24] <sampo> hello there
[14:24] <obaid> burg, what problem u got there ?
[14:24] <rob0> I have what ought to be a pretty simple issue. UNR Karmic on a netbook, we're mostly getting along okay, but I don't want to run X all the time. When I logout of gdm, network manager takes down my interface[s]! Crazy! Can this be avoided?
[14:25] <sampo> how to chnage permission of an external hdd to read and write files in it...?
[14:25] <llutz> sampo: depends on filesystem
[14:25] <sampo> is vfat
[14:25] <burg> obaid: networkManages is not managing my wired network
[14:25] <llutz> sampo: use mount-options uid/gid/umask
[14:25] <obaid> sampo, sudo chmod -rzv user:user /dir-u-want-to-own
[14:25] <obaid> where user:user is your username
[14:26] <llutz> obaid: won't work on vfat
[14:26] <obaid> ops
[14:26] <obaid> let him try
[14:26] <cloudy> o,I'm in
[14:26] <CQ> I added a vai vt6212l usb PCI card to my machine, and get this in syslog http://pastebin.com/d24cef09d ... any ideas?
[14:26] <CQ> s/vai/via/
[14:27] <burg> restarting pc to see if that works
[14:27] <CQ> I looked through BIOS settings, but found nothing that I would have needed to enable...
[14:27] <CQ> burg- just another reboot?
[14:27] <heoa> Where is the Desktop-folder for root?
[14:28] <sampo> sudo chmod -rzv sampo:sampo /media/vfatpart
[14:28] <sampo> chmod: invalid mode: `-rzv'
[14:28] <sampo> Try `chmod --help' for more information.
[14:28] <CQ> heoa: /root I should think...
[14:28] <bogeyd6> When using apt-get remove, for a bunch of packages. How can you make it ignore any that are missing? I have like 89 packages that i copied from a website to remove the gnome desktop and just have command line.
[14:28] <obaid> -r -v -z
[14:28] <llutz> obaid: rwx it would be (on unix-fs)
[14:29] <obaid> u want to own a file
[14:29] <llutz> sampo: vfat = non-unix, so you cannot use chmod/chown on it
[14:29] <obaid> he*
[14:29] <sarthorks> sound is not working on my system (jaunty). it used to work, and still does on windows vista, to which i dual boot. here are the outputs of alsamixer and pavucontrol (both of them give errors): http://paste.ubuntu.com/345356/
[14:30] <rob0> An external vfat drive should have been automounted by hald, and by default you would have read/write on it.
[14:30] <sampo> llutz: so, what to do?
[14:30] <rob0> So, the right question might be, why isn't hald handling this for you?
[14:30] <llutz> sampo: use mount-options uid/gid/umask
[14:31] <sampo> llutz:sudo mount-options uid/gid/umask
[14:31] <sampo> sudo: mount-options: command not found
[14:31] <cloudy> I have a problem that the *.flv file can't play in totem,but it could before
[14:31] <gui7> hello
[14:31] <llutz> sampo: thats not a command, read "man mount" and look at the part about vfat
[14:31] <gui7> i'm using the ln -s command to create a symlink
[14:31] <Homely_Girl> mcphail: I dunno wot happened but it's WORKING!!!! :D I'm flying at linux speeds 'n got goosebumps!!!
[14:32] <gui7> in the 1st path am i supposed to leave a space at the end of the " - like: ln -s "71st/path/here " "second/path/here"
[14:32] <Homely_Girl> How do I install java on karmic? :)
[14:32] <gui7> this if if i'm trying to symlink the whole folder
[14:32] <Homely_Girl> Couldn't find it in synaptic
[14:32] <CQ> Homely_Girl: apt-cache search java     is always a good start to find packages
[14:33] <gui7> Homely_Girl, try searchign in synaptic for "sun-java"
[14:33] <Homely_Girl> Thanks CQ
[14:33] <obaid> brb
[14:33] <iceroot> Homely_Girl: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre  (or jdk if you need that)
[14:33] <streenz> Homely_Girl, or search for "restricted" and itll come up with packages that include java and a few other things

[14:34] <Homely_Girl> streenz: good advice!!
[14:34] <mcphail> Homely_Girl: nice!
[14:34] <Homely_Girl> Gosh I forgot how lovely linux is!!!
[14:34]  * Homely_Girl kisses mcphail 
[14:34] <streenz> Homely_Girl, its ubuntu-restricted-extras , or xubuntu or kubuntu depending what youre running
[14:34] <Homely_Girl> streenz, it's ubuntu karmic koala
[14:34] <mcphail> gosh
[14:34] <gamerx> Homely_girl it includes stuff to play dvds too
[14:34] <gui7> also, do i need the quotation marks ("") when making a symlink?
[14:34] <maco> gamerx: not libdvdcss though
[14:35] <streenz> Homely_Girl, just ubuntu with the gnome interface would be the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" then
[14:35] <maco> gui7: no
[14:35] <llutz> gui7: if it contains spaces, yes
[14:35] <linxeh> gui7: if it has special characters in, or spaces, yes
[14:35]  * Homely_Girl loves all the boys here!! :D
[14:35] <gui7> ok thx :D
[14:35] <maco> Homely_Girl: what about the girls?
[14:35] <_scavenger_> Thanks.
[14:35] <gamerx> Uhh yeah that'd be seperate
[14:35] <gui7> should i leave a space just before the final quotation for the 1st path?
[14:35] <gamerx> Kk night ppls
[14:35] <llutz> gui7: no reason for that
[14:36] <gui7> oki thx :D
[14:36] <maco> gui7: if there is one in the filename...
[14:36] <Homely_Girl> of course I love the girls too, didn't realise we had superior female brains here!!
[14:36] <linxeh> gui7: I would say no, unless the filename ends in a space...
[14:36] <Homely_Girl> I don't bat for that team but will make an exception!! lol
[14:36] <gui7> maco, nah, it's just a directory with a single word
[14:36] <maco> gui7: no need for quotes if theres no spaces
[14:36] <_scavenger_> Superior female brains? That sounds like a snack (Braaaiinnssss...)
[14:36] <gui7> i get it now thx :D
[14:37] <maco> _scavenger_: hehehehe
[14:37] <Homely_Girl> lol
[14:37] <gui7> should i have a trailing slash at the end of the path?
[14:37] <Homely_Girl> oh maco I guess you threaten his masculinity! lol

[14:39] <maco> sarthorks: dont do it in alt+f2. you dont get the errors then
[14:39] <sarthorks> okay
[14:39] <maco> sarthorks: try pulseaudio -vvv
[14:39] <maco> er...
[14:39] <maco> sarthorks: pulseaudio -vvv -D
[14:39] <sarthorks> maco:okay
[14:40] <lucchesi> hey
[14:40] <ankit_babbar1> ny 1 dr to help me with ldap
[14:40] <ongolaBoy> hi. is there someone who know how to tell to debmirror to use trustdb.gpg instead of trustedkeys.gpg on ubuntu?
[14:41] <Homely_Girl> streenz, Should I just install all the restricted stuff 'cos it's mostly greek to me! lol
[14:41] <maco> Homely_Girl: yeah, youll end up wanting most of that anyway
[14:42] <streenz> Homely_Girl, yes, what maco said ..
[14:42] <Homely_Girl> Thanks guys 'n gals
[14:43] <specter_> can anyone help me setting up the Intel GMA500 on my sony vaio p?
[14:44] <specter_> all windows wont run smoothly
[14:44] <jenda> Whenever I try to burn a DVD in Brasero (through nautilus), I get an Unknown error and the log contains the following: http://pastebin.com/d931060b Any ideas?
[14:44] <specter_> so i guess i have to update the drivers
[14:44] <specter_> i followed this tutorial: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo
[14:44] <_scavenger_> @rob0 I wants them raw and wrrr... iggling. (Sometimes I dusgust even myself.)
[14:44] <specter_> but somehow i wasnt able to reboot without having low grafic option
[14:45] <sarthorks> maco : ﻿pulseaudio -vvv -D gives "command not found", but i had killed pulseaudio from the system monitor, and it reappeared!
[14:45] <Pelo> anyone know how to ban an ioport from being used ?my pci printer port card doesn't work in Karmic but did in others, the only differentce I was able to find is that in karmic parport1 has two /proc/ioports  listings
[14:45] <JuJuBee_> Im using kde and kate seems to not save my settings like adding the terminal to the bottom.
[14:46] <streenz> jenda, Brasero used to give me errors for seemingly no reason, I switched over to "K3b" (another burner) and its worked fine for me.  Sorry this isnt really a "solution" but if you cant troubleshoot your Brasero problems maybe its worth a try?
[14:47] <maco> sarthorks: it autospawns when you start a audio-using app
[14:47] <mcphail> jenda: i think streenz has the best solution. Brasero brings a world of pain and can fail in many different ways. K3B works.
[14:48]  * Church uses pirated nero linux version for similar reasons as k3b.
[14:48] <Church> it works, and unlike k3b is gtk+, not qt.
[14:48] <sarthorks> maco: i didnt get what you meant. could you explain it to me?
[14:49] <maco> sarthorks: pulseaudio respawned because it starts automatically if anything tries to use the sound ard
[14:49] <mcphail> Church: please don't recommend software piracy here
[14:49] <sarthorks> maco: okay, but what should i do now?
[14:49] <Church> i'd use k3b only if it had gtk port. don't want to install whole kde/qt bloat for one app only.
[14:50] <maco> sarthorks: im not sure, sorry. was trying to get a log from pulseaudio, but command not found..
[14:50] <sarthorks> maco: why would that be? if pulseaudio is installed, why should it say "not found"?
[14:51] <maco> sarthorks: dunno. if its running its obviously ther. did you make a typo?
[14:51] <sarthorks> maco:nope
[14:51] <djihed> what signal does the close button send to the app?
[14:51] <streenz> Church, yes, but when your alternative to the extra bloat is software piracy, thats not really helpful at all in this channel as it doesnt support piracy..
[14:52] <ganymede> is there a way for me to install the denyhosts daemon without starting it up immediately? with sudo apt-get, it starts up denyhosts...does some other command install it without starting it up?
[14:52] <rek> jpeg library not found.  You need this one, please install.
[14:52] <rek> Note:	to compile stuff just the library packages are not enougth,
[14:52] <rek> 	you need also the *-devel packages.
[14:52] <hacotur> Hi i am new to this irc thing, sorry for this silly question, but how do you get those "sendersname:" without manually typing?
[14:52] <rek> what should i install
[14:53] <grawity> ganymede: you cannot... but, why do you want that? Some problems?
[14:53] <dreamy_> what setting should be put after "find" (on the command line) .. find any file, anywhere ? .. ive been having some trougble searching for this on the web
[14:53] <trism> hacotur: type a couple characters and then hit <tab>
[14:53] <grawity> dreamy_: /
[14:53] <ganymede> grawity, yeah, installing denyhosts might lock me out of ssh before i get to edit the config file
[14:53] <grawity> dreamy_: (it's the root directory; everything is under it)
[14:54] <Church> btw, do downloadable ubuntu iso images include updates aswell, or they are at same state/release as of first release?
[14:54] <llutz> ganymede: it won't kill existing connections
[14:54] <grawity> ganymede: denyhosts doesn't just lock out, it requires at least some failed attempts.
[14:54] <dreamy_> k.. ty grawity
[14:54] <hacotur> trism: thanks it works.
[14:54] <scavenger> @Church I believe it's somewhere in between.
[14:54] <grawity> ganymede: Also, denyhosts uses host.deny -- so just add "ALL: your-ip" to /etc/hosts.allow and it'll always let you in.
[14:54] <ganymede> grawity, i may already have failed attempts in the auth.log file from earlier. it would scan them
[14:54] <GNUtoo> hi, how do I boot on a LUKS encrypted partition,more precisely in the initramfs  /conf/conf.d/cryptroot is not there....but I informed crypttab about the partition and updated the iniramfs (update-initramfs -u )
[14:55] <grawity> ganymede: Still, add yourself to /etc/hosts.allow and it won't.
[14:55] <ktzkk> 你好
[14:55] <ganymede> llutz, then i'd be counting on the fact that my connections stay alive
[14:55] <ganymede> grawity, thanks, i'll try that
[14:55] <ktzkk> 大家好
[14:55] <GNUtoo> is there an update-cryptboot or something like that?
[14:56]  * Church would highly advise to add yourself to /etc/hosts.allow for whitelisting, as others suggested. it was required for my case, as denyhosts wanted to lock out even if i logged in successfuly just at short time interval (main login+2 sshfs mounts) :/
[14:56] <streenz> anyone know hte ! code thing to tell ktzkk where the mandarin/cantonese(?) room is :S
[14:56] <sarthorks> maco: pulseaudio -vvv -D gives command not found, but pulseaudio gives this output:http://paste.ubuntu.com/345371/
[14:56] <genii> !cn
[14:57] <grawity> streenz: Tell him yourself? :)
[14:57] <streenz> grawity, I would if I knew the language :P
[14:57] <llutz> denyhosts also has an own "allowed-hosts" file
[14:58] <maco> sarthorks: that one just said its not startng becuse its already running
[14:58] <GNUtoo> never mind...bad initramfs command
[14:58] <Church> btw, is it just my case or others have experienced aswell, that firefox on 64bit ubuntu is very heavy on mem usage after few days usage .. as if some memory leak?
[14:58] <sarthorks> maco: so the flags are resulting in the "command not found"?
[14:59] <maco> sarthorks: i guess, though thats a bit weird. i dont know whats going on, sorry.
[14:59] <maco> sarthorks: maybe try waiting around in #ubuntu-audio-help if you cant get help from anyone else here
[14:59] <MoeGreen> i currently use a program called "getdataback" for windows when trying to do datarecovery.  But a buddy of mine just gave me his "broken" macbook g4 and was wondering if i can save some of the data off of it.  Is there a program in linux i can use for data recovery?
[15:00] <sarthorks> maco: ok thanks a lot anyway
[15:00] <genii> MoeGreen: ddrescue
[15:00] <JoeSomebody> what is the fastest way to rename files in nautilus? seems a lot slower than windows
[15:00] <MoeGreen> thx ill install that now
[15:00] <aperson> Church, how much is big?
[15:00] <danny> I'm trying to encode a DVD with Handbrake but it seems frozen. I click on the close button but a dialog comes up with no text or buttons. I go to System Monitor and I can't find Handbrake anywhere. How to I close it?
[15:01] <eeg3> What's an easy way to create a lot of CPU usage for testing purposes?
[15:01] <danny> Oh, nevermind, I see it now.
[15:01] <amelius> Church: _all_ versions of Firefox I've ever used have seemed leaky to some extent :-)
[15:01] <erUSUL> JoeSomebody: slower ? right click choose rename input the new name. it is the same in both operatin systems
[15:01] <aperson> eeg3, I like to run a few glxgears processes
[15:01] <streenz> eeg3, graphics rendering, video conversion, you can run BOINC
[15:02] <JoeSomebody> erUSUL, i should have said  keyboard-wise, in windows its F2
[15:02] <eeg3> Was hoping for a lightweight command line tool, dont actually have Xorg installed
[15:02] <Church> amelius: yeah, but for me - first time _as_ bad
[15:02] <eeg3> Thank you for the suggestions, though
[15:02] <erUSUL> eeg3: a big compile (kernel or some such) with many threads ( make -j(2*Nofcpu +1) )
[15:03] <eeg3> erUSUL: Ooh, that sounds like it would work well
[15:03] <eeg3> Gracias
[15:03] <aperson> eeg3, I like geekbench
[15:03] <Church> amelius: half a day with 5 windows with ~ 8-10 tabs each, and 1-1.5gb already :/ .. not exactly comfortable on this laptop with just 1 gig :/
[15:04] <aperson> Church, I run a minimum of 15 tabs for days, and it only ever reaches ~800MB max
[15:04] <airstrike> hi. does anybody have any experience with PCSX? i can't find an official support channel and browsing the forums has yet to yield productive results. PCSX is segfaulting when i try to load states in a game. what gives?
[15:04] <aperson> Church, and I have plenty of extensions running as well
[15:04] <airstrike> 800mb for a browser is still a -lot-
[15:05] <streenz> Church, I loaded a plugin that blocks the flash and I found that helps a bit, or I guess an ad blocker would do the same, just to stop you from using up memory with those annoying flash ads
[15:05] <amelius> Church: I've always stuck to the 32bit LTS releases, but I feel your pain... Firefox is just not something you can use intensively for days on end without restarting it
[15:05] <erUSUL> JoeSomebody: f2 works in my nautilus
[15:05] <airstrike> Church: have you tried google chrome?
[15:05] <aperson> chromium even
[15:06] <teage> hello everyone
[15:06] <JoeSomebody> erUSUL, i am going back to bed, i was sure i tried it LOL
[15:06] <teage> and good morning
[15:06] <meero> llutz: i installed the minimal-cd , do u know how to install basic gnome, without all the bloatware?
[15:06] <erUSUL> JoeSomebody: ;P
[15:06] <teage> i have a (?) if anyone could answer it please
[15:07] <meero> llutz: when i tasksel --> ubuntu desktop, im afraid there will be lot of unnecesary stuff
[15:07] <quibbler> !ask | teage
[15:07] <airstrike> teage: we won't know the answer before you ask the question
[15:07] <teage> i am trying to copy and paste with text in xchat
[15:07] <grawity> meero: gnome-desktop, gnome-base, I don't remember exactly but there is such a way
[15:07] <teage> but cant figure out how
[15:07] <KittyKatt> Okay, so I'm trying to get a script to run when my USB mouse is plugged in to disable the touchpad and enable it when it's removed from the USB port. Nothing is working. Any suggestions?
[15:07] <llutz> meero: aptitude install gnome
[15:07] <streenz> teage,  highlighting then CTRL-C and CTRL-V dont work?
[15:07] <KittyKatt> I've tried udev, but none of my rules seem to actually do any good.
[15:07] <teage> thank you streenz
[15:08] <Church> aperson: only extensions here is flashblock, xmarks (though with very big pile of bookmarks), tab mix plus, autoproxy and toolbar thinger. with same set firefox on 32bit doze or 32bit linux were way better with mem usage .. 3-4times better :/
[15:08] <aperson> !paste | teage
[15:08] <aperson> Church, *shrug*  I don't know what's up, I have way more extensions too
[15:08] <teage>   ubottu thank you
[15:09] <KittyKatt> Anyone know of a good way to go about this?
[15:09] <amelius> streenz: blocking Flash content certainly does help, but what really tends to be resource-hungry are dissolves and the like done in JavaScript
[15:09] <teage> but i was only wanting to copy and paste into google translator
[15:09] <JoeSomebody> teage highlight with mouse copies in xchat, ctrlv pastes
[15:09] <teage> so as i could understand some of my brothers from over seas
[15:09] <aperson> JoeSomebody, you mean, highlight and middleclick
[15:10] <JoeSomebody> otherwise if notin xchat do what streenz  says
[15:10] <Church> i've heard that 64bit apps tend to be larger .. as in ~ 1.5 times .. but imho it's only about executable/libraries size, not the biggest slice of total usage after heavy browsing
[15:10] <JoeSomebody> just highlight copies in xchat
[15:10] <streenz> teage, most times when it is in the middle of the day (US times) this chat goes by VERY quickly so they appreciate it if you keep everything to a single line so it doesnt get lost
[15:10] <KittyKatt> Does anyone know how to go about automatically disabling the touchpad when a USB mouse is plugged in and enabling it again when the USB mouse is removed?
[15:10] <aperson> JoeSomebody, eek! it does.  I wish it wouldn't
[15:11] <teage> the middle click works exelent
[15:11] <teage> thank you thank you thank you
[15:11] <Church> KittyKatt: dunno. some xset magic on udev plugin/plugout events? :/
[15:11]  * scavenger thinks teage's welcome
[15:11] <erUSUL> KittyKatt: what have you tried ?
[15:12] <mitchel> I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 and when I boot my monitor says "video mode not supported". How do I force Ubuntu to go into a particular mode on boot?
[15:12] <KittyKatt> Church: I've tried udev ACTION="add" and ACTION="remove", but none of those seem to have any effect.
[15:12] <KittyKatt> Would you like me to pastebin my 10-touchpad.rules files?
[15:12] <riktking> my network card RTL8185 chipset only ever shows 15% quality, any fixes?
[15:13] <erUSUL> !boot | mitchel pass vga=791 on boot
[15:13] <Church> as i'm using laptop mostly with everything external (including external display and keyboard in addition to mouse), i don't care about touchpad disabling, as laptop is closed for most of the time anyways :)
[15:13] <mitchel> erUSUL: thank you
[15:13] <Church> in rare cases i use it as laptop, i mostly don't have any external input/output devs
[15:14] <streenz> when I use a wireless mouse with my laptop I just press the button that disables the touchpad :S
[15:14] <KittyKatt> streenz: My FN keys don't seem to work in debian-based distros, but I'm not really upset about that.
[15:14] <KittyKatt> :P
[15:15] <Church> btw, anyone here uses btnx with their logitech mouses?
[15:15] <KittyKatt> Church erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/d43b0132f
[15:15] <KittyKatt> That's my *.rules file.
[15:15] <BluesKaj> hey folks
[15:15] <KittyKatt> I'll also pastebin touchpadtrig.sh, if you would like.
[15:15] <aperson> Church, I tried to, but I couldn
[15:16] <aperson> Church, 't get it to work, I was better off setting the buttons in my xorg.conf
[15:16]  * Church wonders how should i workarround btnx to automatically reload after switching off/back with kvm switch
[15:17] <Church> aperson: it works for me .. just that i need to reload it after switching via kvm :/
[15:17] <KittyKatt> Any ideas?
[15:18] <manjula> can any one please tell me how to make the changes made via xrandr permanent ?
[15:18] <Church> maybe one can change button mapping in xorg.conf now aswell .. but back then when i started to use it btnx was best way to remap 'search' button as middle click
[15:18] <mitchel> erUSUL: I never get to see the GRUB bootloader menu, it tries booting straight into a graphical mode... is there a place I can specify vga=791 in a conf file and then reboot instead?
[15:18] <iuhjujhhju> if you use dd to create a  2Gb file, is there any caching mechanism that affects the time it needs to create the file?
[15:19] <chelogui> Good morning
[15:19]  * KittyKatt guesses he'll head back to google again for answers. ^^;
[15:19] <Japher> morning
[15:19] <LjL> iuhjujhhju: caching certainly does happen in general
[15:19] <iuhjujhhju> LjL, so also when using DD?
[15:19] <Church> manjula: i know that system/preferences/display xrandr frontend saves state in ~/.config/monitor.xml
[15:19] <riktking> my network card RTL8185 chipset only ever shows 15% quality even when right next to AP , any fixes?
[15:19] <LjL> iuhjujhhju: uhm, i know of no reason why dd would be different from anything else
[15:20] <Japher> anyone know if it is possible to force a rediscovery  of externally attached usb devices on Karmic ?
[15:20] <manjula> Church: ok thanks maybe if  i changes that file it might be permanent right ?
[15:20] <Church> manjula: if you mean some config that's impossible to do with that applet, try writing shellscript with needed xrandr commands and put in on startup applications list in session preferences
[15:20] <mitchel> Does anyone know how I can configure my Ubuntu 9.10 machine to boot with the "vga=791" option?
[15:21] <Church> manjula: sorry. it's monitors.xml, not monitor.xml
[15:21] <manjula> Church: ok thanks i will see. thanks
[15:21] <Kartagis> I can't see facebook videos in full length. anybody help me?
[15:21] <Church> mitchel: change kernel parameters in bootloader config
[15:21] <amelius> riktking: that may not be a software issue - did you experiment with different channels?
[15:21] <mitchel> Church: what sort of filesystem location would I be looking at?
[15:22] <Church> filesystem? o_O
[15:22] <mitchel> sorry
[15:22] <mitchel> what file?
[15:22] <mitchel> specifically
[15:22] <mitchel> as I've been looking fruitlessly
[15:22] <Church> depending on bootloader you use
[15:22] <riktking> amelius, it is on every wifi point i have used
[15:22] <mitchel> the default
[15:22] <FloodBot4> mitchel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:22] <Church> is it lilo or is it grub or is it grub2?
[15:22] <mitchel> not sure, whatever the default grub is
[15:22] <Church> default differs in different ubuntu versions
[15:22] <erUSUL> mitchel: in /etc/default/grub --> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash vga=791" then do « sudo update-grub »
[15:22] <mitchel> this was a net inst that I then installed edubuntu-desktop meta package onto
[15:23] <mitchel> erUSUL: many thanks
[15:23] <erUSUL> mitchel: 791 is for 1024x798 16 bit. look google if you want something else
[15:23] <mitchel> erUSUL: that's good enough
[15:23] <skrite> i think we hear too much from FloodBot
[15:24] <Church> FloodBot .. is flooding? :)
[15:24] <Kartagis> I can't see facebook videos in full length. anybody help me?
[15:25] <lint_> i just installed picasa for linux through my deb package installer, it is supposed to be in the graphics section of my menu but it is not, anybody know why?
[15:25] <nuno_nunes> hi
[15:25] <manjula> Church: do u knw the startup script for GDM ?
[15:25] <manjula> Church: /etc/gdm/which file ?
[15:25] <amelius> riktking: I see; is that a plug-in card, or an internal one?
[15:25] <Church> manjula: why not set at login session?
[15:25] <riktking> amelius, its a pcmcia card
[15:26] <Church> manjula: system/preferences/startup applications
[15:26] <manjula> Church: then my login screen will be not affected
[15:27] <zhane> can i change the default TTL value of my machine?
[15:27] <poweruser> hi
[15:27] <Church> oh. hmm. then maybe put script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d?
[15:28] <manjula> Church: my problem is i have a  Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 onboard graphihc card. once i installed the new ubuntu (9.10) i was not able to go above the 800*600 resolution. i try to get help here and none work. now i made 1024*768 resolution tru xrandr and it works so i just want to make that resolution permanent
[15:28] <jelly-bean> does ubuntu support zfs?
[15:28] <jelly-bean> 9.10 karmic
[15:29] <SmokeyD> hey people, how can I see on the commandline what type of cd/dvdrw I have in my machine?
[15:29] <Church> manjula: hmm. maybe that new kernel mode setting plays some tricks :/
[15:29] <amelius> riktking: and is the actual link quality, in terms of user experience, decent? clould simply be that the highest possible quality value the card will ever indicate is lower than the driver thinks, if you see what I mean
[15:29] <manjula> Church: u have a idea how to fix it any other way ?
[15:29] <SmokeyD> lspci doesn't list (S)ATA attached devices, only the controllers
[15:30] <riktking> amelius, its fine, stays connected all day, would just be nice to see the actual rating
[15:30] <riktking> amelius, if there is no solution its fine, the light on it just flashes on and off, no relation to the data transfered aswell, was just a thought if some one knew a solution!
[15:32] <napurist> what program can I use to make a system backup to a live-cd?  i want to install into a virtualbox and use it for a test system before making significant changes to my prod system.
[15:33] <ionut> i am using ubuntu 9.10 . does anyone knows a good php editor ?
[15:33] <mitchel> erUSUL: I'm back ;) it showed the little Ubuntu logo during loading but then as soon as it gets into X, bam back into "video mode not supported".
[15:33] <captivus> ionut: vim!
[15:33] <grawity> ionut: vim, emacs (you choose)
[15:33] <llutz> mitchel: vga= doesn't affect X at all
[15:33] <amelius> riktking: these things by definition can be fixed, of course, if not through some setting or other, then by patching the driver, but if it actually works just fine, the most pragmatic solution is of course simply not to worry about it too much ;)
[15:33] <cn28h> ionut, or geany
[15:33] <dejai> I like eclipse
[15:33] <dejai> It scales very well.
[15:33] <ionut> ow,thx all
[15:33] <mitchel> ionut: I second geany
[15:34] <ionut> good
[15:34] <llutz> mitchel: to change x-resolution, change/create your xorg.conf
[15:34] <mitchel> llutz: yeah, I couldn't see/find an xorg.conf, otherwise that's where I would've started. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didn't seem to do *anything* either =/
[15:35] <Church> mitchel: btw, which ubuntu version?
[15:35] <llutz> mitchel: "sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf" "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and make your settings (syntax: man xorg.conf)
[15:35] <mitchel> Church: 9.10
[15:35] <mitchel> llutz: is there a way to create a default one to work from?
[15:36] <Church> hmm. mitchel: try in /etc/default/grub add 'nomodeset' option. does gdm then starts at wrong resolution too after restart?
[15:36] <llutz> mitchel: what graphics chipset?
[15:36] <fission6> how can i show a list of all running services, apache/mysql etc
[15:36] <mitchel> Church: I'll try that but I'm using irssi so I'll be back in a minute :)
[15:36] <grawity> fission6: ps -ef
[15:36] <naufrago> ps aux
[15:36] <fission6> i want all processes with open listners
[15:36] <fission6> apache, mysql, other services
[15:36] <grawity> fission6: sudo netstat -lptn
[15:36] <mitchel> llutz: 9200 SE (RV280 apparently)
[15:37] <grawity> fission6: -lpun for UDP
[15:37] <Church> mitchel: isn't simpliest to add xrandr settings to somewhere .. eg. - /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr-settings ?
[15:37] <llutz> Church: vga-bootparameter is for console-settings, it won't effect X at all
[15:37] <mitchel> Church: do I add that "nomodeset" command after the previous "vga=791" one I've already added then?
[15:37] <Church> vga bootparameter is for fb console.
[15:37] <mitchel> Church: perhaps, but that's why I'm on here asking ;)
[15:37] <grawity> fission6: But ignore those with 127.0.0.1 as 'local' address, those are used for pr
[15:37] <grawity> fission6: er, for process communication.
[15:37] <llutz> mitchel: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh server-xorg      should do
[15:37] <fission6> ok
[15:37] <roam> how can I stop apt to download package description translations?
[15:38] <mitchel> Church: that makes sense, I'm in a higher resolution in irssi here and the little Ubuntu loading graphic displayed, but as soon as it was into X it was back to fubar.
[15:38] <fission6> also when i sudo i put in a password which works fine as expected, but when i su root and enter password its not right
[15:38] <fission6> how is that so
[15:38] <mitchel> llutz: what does the -phigh bit change? because before I tried that and nothing seemed to happen whatsoever
[15:38] <marti974> I had install ubuntu 9.10 and then screen resolution is on 640x480 and i can't change it
[15:38] <Church> nomodeset disables display detect / mode set by kernel at boot. as kernel mode set is rather new it often goes wrong. that's why one of things to try is to disable it and see if it helps X autodetect displays better
[15:39] <llutz> mitchel: sets high priority
[15:39] <mitchel> Church: okay so I could just remove vga=971 and replace it with nomodeset?
[15:40] <Church> mitchel: and reboot. see if it helps. if not, remove that nomodeset .. and just put custom xrandr commands that you know are doing what you want in mentioned script in Xsession.d
[15:40] <mitchel> Church: but I'll have to create that 45... file myself? as I can't find it
[15:41] <Church> yup. file/scripts in that dir gets executed on Xorg startup. including inital one with gdm session manager
[15:41] <Church> s/session/login/
[15:41] <mitchel> cool, I'll be back on here if this nomodeset doesn't work :) thanks
[15:44] <korogi> hi, can i shift from the installed hard disk to another HD ?
[15:44] <korogi> *shift UBUNTU that is
[15:44] <mitchel> Church: no luck, what do I put in the 45... file, I think a resolution of 1024x768 @60Hz would work... is there a good way to check?
[15:45] <Church> mitchel: btw, were you able to set needed resolution using system/preferences/display applet?
[15:45] <mitchel> Church: no, as I've yet to see a GUI whatsoever! ;(
[15:45] <Church> oh. i forgot that you wanted to set in gdm aswell
[15:46] <Church> well. are you able to start X session at all? even at lover resolution?
[15:46] <Church> if yes, do you already know what xrandr commands you need to run to get mode you need?
[15:47] <Church> if that yes aswell, put those commands in that script in mentioned dir :)
[15:47] <mikebuntu> weird... this asp page is no longer auto updating (as it should). First thought it was linux version of Firefox, but just noticed it doesn' work from Windows box either (IE or Firefox). Could it be router setting?
[15:47] <mitchel> Church: I don't know, how would I start an X session in a lower resolution of my choosing?
[15:47] <ma3x> hello, what if you change the password of your user, how do you reset it? i booted in single user mode but it asked me to type the root password or press ctrl+d to continue with the boot process. do i have to reinstall?
[15:47] <Lord_mezry> HELP NEEDED
[15:47] <mitchel> Church: I wouldn't know what sort of commands they'd be
[15:47] <Church> mitchel: from what i'm guessing now you have simply console / no X11 at all?
[15:47] <Lord_mezry> Aciid: hello there can u help me
[15:47] <grawity> Lord_mezry: Shouting not needed. Ask your question.
[15:47] <sludge> hi all, my internet has been very flaky....done the ISP phone help routine...and no help there.  So I am starting at the beginning.  Anyone here know much about the telephone wiring?  I want to check that I've done it right with extension I put in room with internet.
[15:48] <Lord_mezry> grawity: hi
[15:48] <mitchel> Church: correct, I'm on a terminal-based IRC client
[15:48] <specter_> my ubuntu windows are shaking and it looks really horrible. is there anything i can do? i got an intel gma500 on sony vaio vgn-p21Z
[15:48] <BlouBlou> !ask | Lord_mezry
[15:48] <Church> mitchel: IIRC gdm was starting by default on ubuntu installs .. so check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for possible errors
[15:48] <diego85vigo> nnect irc.irc-hispano.org
[15:48] <Lord_mezry> ubottu: here goes
[15:48] <diego85vigo> /connect irc.irc-hispano.org
[15:49] <mitchel> Church: yeah that's where I looked, it looped through dozens of possibilities saying "no suitable" or something like that. But there was no positive/good resolutions it found, hence dropping into an unsupported one. That doesn't help me... what command would I type to start an X session in a resolution of my choosing?
[15:49] <Church> mitchel: and are you able to run X11 from console using startx command?
[15:50] <Lord_mezry> ubottu: i have a HP dv 4 laptop and i recently installed the new 2.6.32 generic release to patch my battery bug that i had
[15:50] <Church> mitchel: you can also post that /var/log/Xorg.0.log into some webpastebin
[15:50] <Gartral1> what are the advantages versus disadvantages to running UNR on an acer aspire one?
[15:50] <BlouBlou> !bot > Lord_mezry
[15:50] <Lord_mezry> ubottu: the battery bug is fixed but my wireless does not work
[15:50] <BlouBlou> Lord_mezry: ubottu is channel's bot
[15:50] <specter_> wow i feel like being ignored :/
[15:50] <Lord_mezry> BlouBlou:
[15:51] <mitchel> Church: I could do, but I'm still not that adept with lynx/links ;) okay, startx has the same result
[15:51] <Lord_mezry> BlouBlou: u can see wht probelm i have

[15:55] <jakaPre> I can't belive it's imposible to exchange files using LAN(and ubuntu on both machines!).
[15:55] <jakaPre> On one machine, which is connected to internet via cabel I created a shared folder, but I can't see it on my laptop(connected with wireless AP). They should be in the same LAN, right? I gave all permissions also read-write. What else doI need to set up???
[15:55] <tbrock> jaka, scp problem solved
[15:55] <llutz> tbrock: "ssh -D 8080 user@host-you-can-access"   then configure your browser to use localhost:8080 as socks-proxy and you should have access to that routers-ip
[15:55] <captivus> tbrock: Have you flashed said router with third-party firmware?  (e.g. dd-wrt)
[15:56] <captivus> tbrock: If so, bounce from the computer you have ssh access to to the router via ssh.

[15:58] <shlunk> the open source drivers work, but some apps, like boxee, crash when the gl stuff starts
[15:58] <shlunk> is it worth trying ATI's drivers?

[16:01] <eefer> hi everyone
[16:01] <random_> hellos
[16:01] <Zenoxio> I just launched Ubuntu Live from CD, but for some reason I'm stuck at 800x600 resolution max. How can I increase this?
[16:02] <eefer> i just wanna know . are there any linux for programmer or developer
[16:02] <Manuelgop> hi
[16:02] <dejai> Zenoxio, If the system->preferences->display restricts to 800x600
[16:02] <dejai> Zenoxio, You will want to install the open source or proprietary drivers for the graphics card
[16:02] <dejai> So you can use it.
[16:02] <dejai> Zenoxio, That is why it is restricted to 800x600
[16:03] <n4rwoo> dejai any ideas about the gma500?
[16:03] <om26er_> !anyone
[16:03] <jakaPre> tbrock: why can't I just use nautilus and go to network, to see shared files on LAN. But no device sees others...
[16:03] <dejai> n4rwoo, Not optimal.
[16:03] <Zenoxio> My graphics card website tells me: We're sorry, the NVIDIA Smart Scan does not support your system at this time.
[16:03] <jakaPre> why is it such big deal for ubuntu!?!
[16:03] <om26er_> !alive
[16:03] <dejai> n4rwoo, But ubuntu seems to have some support for it
[16:04] <dejai> n4rwoo, Sec.
[16:04] <n4rwoo> ty
[16:04] <dejai> n4rwoo, It appears to be supported in 8.04 8.10 and 9.04 but experimentally in 9.10
[16:05] <n4rwoo> ah k
[16:05] <dataviruset> my ubuntu-server 9.10 x64-machine has run fsck on boot (i accidently touched the reset button on the computer during bootup) for 2 and a half hour now, is that normal with one 160GB-disk, one 250 GB and one 8 GB?
[16:05] <n4rwoo> actually i tried this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo#karmic
[16:05] <n4rwoo> but the result was that i could not start x
[16:06] <Manuelgop> Anybody tried gimp monowindow?
[16:06] <n4rwoo> and had to activate the low grafic mode
[16:06] <dejai> n4rwoo, Give me a minute to see if I can dig anything up
[16:06] <Gartral1> I have an Acer Aspire One D250 netbook.. which would be better for someone used to win xp (the system is for my mother) UNR or regular ubuntu (i know kubuntu is out of the question.. the N270s aren't powerful enough to pull that)

[16:07] <Maletor> Hey I just put a 250GB hard drive into my computer. This is in addition to my 1TB hard drive. What I really want to do is just simulate having 1.25TB. Can I do a software RAID? What filesystem should I choose? I have no idea what I am doing...
[16:07] <Toaster> salut
[16:07] <mcphail> Gartral1: getting used to a netbook screen is more hassle than getting used to a new OS. So I'd suggest the UNR.
[16:07] <SeanJM> Hi, remote desktop-- Your desktop is only reachable over the local network. Others can access your computer using the address localhost. <--- my firewall is disabled, so that's not the issue. Help?
[16:08] <shlunk> grrr - the ATI Catalyst drivers are now causing a crash on booting :(
[16:08] <dataviruset> for how long time should a fsck normally run with a 160+250+8 GB disk installation? it has run for approx. 2½ hours now ;/
[16:08] <shlunk> what can i do?
[16:08] <Maletor> How do I do a software RAID?
[16:08] <Flare183> SeanJM: Use x11vnc
[16:09] <mcphail> Maletor: you are looking to set up lvm, not RAID
[16:09] <SeanJM> Flare183: I will try that
[16:09] <dreamy> grawity: what else could i type ? to find anyfile?
[16:09] <dreamy> i know locate
[16:09] <Gartral1> mcphail: my mom also has several VGA monitors, and this machine has VGA out.. (of corse, it's not quite as portable that way, lol)
[16:09] <Maletor> Thanks mcphail
[16:10] <sludge> yo....what's better pci graphics card or agp  (gotta get a new one for kids computer and there are both slots in there)
[16:10] <dejai> n4rwoo, Alright there is a launchpad page..  Which seems to be able to let you update your system..
[16:10] <shlunk> can anyone help me get rid of this ATI Catalyst installation?
[16:10] <Maletor> Does Ubuntu have a system for controlling my computers fans or is that controlled by my motherboard. My computer sounds like a 747 ready for take off.
[16:10] <krishna_> anyone please help me in configuring wifi in ubuntu 9.10

[16:11] <Maletor> No I just bought this computer days ago.
[16:12] <dejai> n4rwoo, The GMA500 seems a little sketch on linux and that project is the only real solution for now so just be aware that it will probably still have some bugs. On the upside you might get compiz working :P

[16:13] <Homely_Girl> that maco

[16:15] <richard_rol> hello
[16:15] <Maletor> Well, they are not that loud, but it would be nice if they could be quieter :)
[16:15] <mezquitale> shlunk, you can try the combinations mitchel mentioned, "ctrl+alt+f7" is where youre supposed to find GUI, every other one F* should be a console
[16:16] <mitchel> shlunk: you should be able to hit Escape whilst GRUB is loading on boot up and select some sort of recovery mode
[16:16] <dejai> Maletor, I will see if I can fix your problem

[16:18] <richard_rol> when I click the Do's opinions,the plug-in is useless
[16:18] <AJC_Z0> mitchel: First try a non-existent file. If you have trouble with that then use "X -configure" to generate one

[16:18] <ZykoticK9> mitchel, 9.10 doesn't use a regualr xorg.conf unfortunately
[16:18] <dejai> ThatGuyOverThere, What is the error message?
[16:18] <ThatGuyOverThere> Well, I'm trying to customize this iconset called hydroxygen.
[16:18] <mezquitale> ThatGuyOverThere, you should follow the guideline, ask your question in one line so that everyone can follow, dont use "enter" as punctuation
[16:19] <ctmjr> mitchel: the command is sudo  Xorg -configure
[16:19] <dejai> ThatGuyOverThere, Also is this a script you made yourself?
[16:19] <ThatGuyOverThere> No.
[16:19] <Zenoxio> I am trying to access my C drive from Ubuntu Live CD, but it is telling me "$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0,0) Operation not supported Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use"
[16:19] <ThatGuyOverThere> In ~/.icons/hydroxygen, there's a script called 'change-type.sh.'
[16:19] <AJC_Z0> mitchel: Welcome. These days no xorg.conf often works well, but if you generate one then you probably want to read it and the relevant manual pages to see what options there are and possibly change things like preferred modes
[16:19] <Zenoxio> What can I do to access my C drive?
[16:19] <rek> what pckages do i need to do make install?
[16:19] <Flare183> !nfts | Zenoxio
[16:19] <dejai> Maletor, Still around? Did you try that link I sent?
[16:19] <AJC_Z0> Zenoxio: Did you try mounting it read only?
[16:19] <ThatGuyOverThere> The instructions that came with the iconset say to go into the command line and go "change-type.sh [command]" to change the icons.
[16:20] <Zenoxio> I double clicked on the drive in Computer
[16:20] <mitchel> AJC_Z0: is xorg.conf location in /etc/ or /etc/X11?
[16:20] <ThatGuyOverThere> But every time I type that in the command line spits out "change-type.sh: command not found."
[16:20] <dejai> ThatGuyOverThere, Ah you have to type ./change-type.sh myCommand
[16:20] <ThatGuyOverThere> ?
[16:20] <AJC_Z0> mitchel: That would be a RTFM type question
[16:20] <mcphail> ThatGuyOverThere: put ./ in front of it
[16:20] <Flare183> !ntfs > Zenoxio
[16:20] <ThatGuyOverThere> Do you mean I literally type "myCommand" after it?
[16:20] <dejai> ThatGuyOverThere, No.
[16:20] <dejai> ThatGuyOverThere, Your command
[16:20] <adante> hi guys i have a fresh ubuntu install which for some reason appears to be using a lot of traffic
[16:20] <ThatGuyOverThere> Well, I know that.
[16:21] <richard_rol> well,I installed the gnome-do,but ,I can't use the plug-in
[16:21] <richard_rol> why?
[16:21] <shlunk> grrrrrr - this install was going so smoothly until i tried to run boxee and the drivers died
[16:21] <mcphail> ThatGuyOverThere: ./change-type.sh
[16:21] <ZykoticK9> rek, build-essential
[16:21] <adante> i'm trying to figure out why, is there anything people could suggest that would use about 9.5 gig in 24 days?
[16:21] <ThatGuyOverThere> I'll give that a shot.
[16:21] <ctmjr> mitchel: it will create the file  /root/xorg.conf.new copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:21] <dejai> ThatGuyOverThere, there are generally some instructions as to commands / arguments
[16:21] <Gartral1> does ubuntu/UNR have support for multi-touce sensative touchpads?
[16:21] <richard_rol> I'm puzzled
[16:21] <richard_rol> hello??
[16:21] <richard_rol> how to add the plug-in in my gnome do docky?
[16:21] <dejai> ThatGuyOverThere, Try ./change-type.sh help
[16:22] <rek> no
[16:22] <richard_rol> does anyone knows how to use the gnome do ?
[16:22] <rek> another one
[16:22] <rek> devel packages
[16:22] <richard_rol> as my questions
[16:22] <dejai> ThatGuyOverThere, If that doesn't work you could always just read the .sh script and find the arguments (if you are up for the challenge)
[16:22] <Gartral1> !who | rek
[16:22] <Maletor> dejai, yes i just did it
[16:22] <Maletor> here is the result
[16:22] <Maletor> no driver for AMD K10 thermal sensors yet
[16:22] <Maletor> :)
[16:22] <FloodBot4> Maletor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:22] <dejai> Maletor, Hmm
[16:22] <jacobi> since upgrading to 9.10 I have been experiencing random system freezes. I want to verify 9.10 has the latest 845G intel drivers installed. Should i try and get them from the intel graphics drivers site?
[16:23] <richard_rol> !how to add the plug-in in my gnome do docky?
[16:23] <richard_rol> hello
[16:23] <richard_rol> how to add the plug-in in my gnome do docky?
[16:23] <dejai> jacobi, Nothing under the update manager?
[16:23] <richard_rol> Does anyone knows how to add the plug-in in my gnome do docky?
[16:24] <richard_rol> hello
[16:24] <dejai> jacobi, Or restricted drivers?
[16:24] <dejai> Maletor, Hmm let me see what I can find.
[16:24] <rek> dvel packages i need
[16:24] <jacobi> dejai: update manager is happy. How do I check restricted drivers?
[16:24] <ThatGuyOverThere> Alright, it worked.
[16:24] <liubing_> hellow!
[16:24] <dejai> jacobi, System->Administrator->Hardware Drivers
[16:24] <richard_rol> any Chinese?
[16:24] <ThatGuyOverThere> Except I'm still having a problem with icons... with most of the iconsets I've tried, the Music/Pictures/Videos folder icons don't work.
[16:25] <richard_rol> any Chinese here??
[16:25] <Maletor> Anybody have experience with modern warfare 2 under WINE?
[16:25] <vipin> hi
[16:25] <liubing_> i am chinese
[16:25] <dejai> jacobi, Usually does a good job of keeping up to date with drivers.
[16:25] <ThatGuyOverThere> Like hydroxygen has custom folder icons for those directories, but they don't show up.
[16:25] <Maletor> Any difference between that and windows 7?
[16:25] <jacobi> dejai: says no proprietary drivers in use on this system.
[16:25] <dejai> Maletor, I would use windows for that type of gaming.
[16:25] <liubing_> 你好
[16:25] <liubing_> 呵呵
[16:25] <Maletor> that's what I thought
[16:25] <dejai> jacobi, Does it give any options for installing drivers?
[16:25] <Maletor> bah dual boot is not worth it though, screw windoze
[16:25] <jacobi> dejai: nope. It's all empty.
[16:26] <ctmjr> !cn | liubing_
[16:26] <liubing_> 问吧
[16:26] <Gartral1> !ko | liubing_
[16:26] <richard_rol> 哦，就是，我刚下了个gnome do
[16:26] <ThatGuyOverThere> Anybody? Help?
[16:26] <dejai> Maletor, Wine isn't a substitute for your situation, with a custom box I would stick with Windows for the gaming.
[16:26] <richard_rol> 添加不了上边的插件
[16:26] <richard_rol> 咋整阿？？
[16:26] <FloodBot4> richard_rol: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:26] <Maletor> dejai, k - do you recommend dual boot?
[16:26] <dejai> ThatGuyOverThere, You need to learn some basic terminal it's probably in a hidden file.
[16:26] <liubing_> 我没用过，不好意思
[16:27] <dejai> Maletor, On a custom rig ya, I am building one that will dual boot.
[16:27] <liubing_> 初学
[16:27] <Gartral1> richard_rol liubing_ either speak english here or move to #ubuntu-cn
[16:27] <dejai> jacobi, Hmm.
[16:27] <liubing_> ok
[16:27] <richard_rol> ok
[16:27] <richard_rol> sorry
[16:27] <vipin> Hi anyone can help me to config ALSA for 4+1 speaker
[16:27] <vipin> in ubuntu
[16:27] <hacover> I am using irc in pidgin, ubuntu, where are the logs saved?
[16:27] <jacobi> dejai: anyway I can check which graphics drivers I am currently running?
[16:28] <liubing_> but I don't know how to join in another channel
[16:28] <ThatGuyOverThere> dejai: That doesn't make any sense. What would this have to do with the command line? If the iconset works the way it's supposed to, I should be able to install it and all the icons would work right in my mind.
[16:28] <liubing_> i use irssi
[16:29] <dejai> jacobi, Hmm
[16:29] <phrac> liubing_: /join #channel
[16:30] <ctmjr> jacobi: runt this in a terminal to get the driver name   egrep "Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[16:30] <liubing_> in this window or open another tap
[16:30] <ctmjr> *runt/run
[16:30] <dejai> jacobi, I know some terminal solutions
[16:30] <Church> mitchel: wierd. that Xorg.0.log looks kinda normal. you say - X fails to start? :/
[16:30] <dejai> jacobi, If you can open a terminal
[16:30] <jvasile> hacover, check ~/.purple/logs
[16:31] <dejai> jacobi, lsmod will give you a list of current kernel modules
[16:31] <dejai> jacobi, (and drivers)
[16:32] <dejai> Then when you find a module or driver you would like to know more about you can type, modinfo driverorModNameHere jacobi
[16:32] <dejai> jacobi, Sorry I don't have a simpler solution.
[16:32] <jacobi> dejai: (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so
[16:33] <jacobi> dejai: better solution?
[16:33] <Maletor> so to install windows 7 on my sata2 250gb i just use disk utility to make it ntfs and bootable and grub will handle everything else?
[16:33] <shlunk> what does "unable to allocate texture" mean when i try and load boxee?
[16:33] <hacover> jvasile putple doesnt exist. i am able to see through the pidgin, but I want to know actual location
[16:34] <dejai> Maletor, Just google Dual Boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu and you will get a full tutorial
[16:34] <Maletor> k
[16:34] <liubing_> install grub
[16:35] <jacobi> dejai: modinfo does not return anything
[16:35] <ctmjr> jacobi: you have a intel graphics card and it is loading the intel driver
[16:35] <dejai> jacobi, So what graphics card are you running?
[16:35] <ZykoticK9> hacover, pidgin logs should be in ~/.purple/logs I'm guessing there will be a subfolder called irc (i've never used pidgin for IRC so the last part is a guess)
[16:35] <dejai> jacobi, Paste lspci | grep VGA
[16:36] <jvasile> hacover, if ~/.purple/logs doesn't exist, perhaps you don't have logging enabled.
[16:36] <dejai> jacobi, Random freezes could be due to a corrupted install.
[16:36] <hacover> ZykoticK9: no irc folder too,, but thanks will check out
[16:37] <dejai> jacobi, If it's a fresh install and you just burned the disk what write speed were you running it on??
[16:37] <dejai> jacobi, I have had similar issues when I run it above x2 speed.
[16:37] <hacover> jvasile: no i have loggin enabled, i can see through pidgin
[16:37] <jacobi> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
[16:37] <richard_rol> hello ,does anyone know how to use the gnome do
[16:37] <dejai> jacobi, At the very least might be worth validating the CD contents which you can do from the first screen in the boot menu
[16:37] <jvasile> hacover, then I don't know.  Try grepping for a unique string in your log
[16:38] <jacobi> dejai: it's a 9.04 machine that was running fine until I did the 9.10 upgrade via upgrade manager two nights ago
[16:38] <hacover> jvasile: ok will try that
[16:38] <dejai> jacobi, Ubuntu upgrades...
[16:38] <jvasile> hacover, grep for my name.  I'm betting that won't appear anywhere but your pidgin logs
[16:38] <jacobi> dejai: mistake?
[16:38] <dejai> jacobi, Not on your part. But I have had some issues in the past with upgrading.
[16:39] <jacobi> dejai: so what can I do? Just hope a future upgrade fixes it?
[16:39] <dejai> jacobi, Hmm.
[16:40] <Sabre-night> I feel like a total noob for asking, but where is the "Installation Directory" on ubuntu 9.10 located?
[16:40] <dejai> jacobi, So you run a while and it randomly freezes?
[16:41] <phrac> Sabre-night: installation directory for what?
[16:41] <Sabre-night> phrac,  a game called "Second Life" it says it runs right from the installation directory :\
[16:41] <dejai> jacobi, Just some bug triaging can you still move the mouse when it freezes?
[16:41] <Sabre-night> phrac,  for linux
[16:41] <jvasile> I have a bluetooth headset I paired via the gnome bluetooth applet.  How do I disconnect?  And how do I reconnect?  Thanks.
[16:42] <jacobi> dejai: Yep thought it was just the browsers, but then I went to change screensavers and selecting the drempels screensaver preview locked it. Is there a Ctrl-ALt-Delete combo I can use to get control back somehow?
[16:42] <phrac> Sabre-night: wherever you unpacked it to
[16:42] <dejai> jacobi, I just found a post which gives your exact card
[16:42] <dejai> jacobi, A bug has been filed on launchpad
[16:42] <Sabre-night> phrac,  okay.
[16:43] <dejai> jacobi, Do you have effects enabled?
[16:43] <dejai> Oh well that was rude :(
[16:45] <dejai> jacobi, Do you have desktop effects enabled?
[16:45] <jacobi> dejai: just locked again. Was flipping through screensaver previews. Which leads me to think the graphics card drivers are guilty..
[16:45] <dejai> jacobi, I can confirm it is the graphics card
[16:45] <dejai> jacobi, As I was saying a bug has been reported.
[16:45] <jacobi> dejai: Nope. trying to enable them triggers hardware driver search which fails
[16:46] <dejai> jacobi, I mean the compiz settings
[16:46] <duffydack> Im havin trouble getting karmic liveusb to boot past the white circle logo on my new dell studio 1747 (i7, 4gig mem, 1gig ati radeon 4650).. i can boot using safe gfx mode but thats not much good if its not detecting the video/resolution properly..
[16:46] <ypSami> Hello all. I'm using nohup and & to background a process that will need to run for a few days. I am wondering if there's a way to increase the flush time for the log file, so that it flushes the log more often than when the system decides to.
[16:46] <PrototypeX29A> hi
[16:46] <om26er_> !hi | PrototypeX29A
[16:46] <dejai> jacobi, System->Preference->Appearences then click on the visual effects tab
[16:46] <dejai> jackal, Set to None.
[16:46] <jacobi> dejai: Cool thank you. What shall I do? I have none in my appearance preferences.
[16:47] <dejai> jacobi, I can direct you to a post where people are chatting about possible solutions. But for now it seems that the bug has still not been assigned to a developer.
[16:47] <dejai> jacobi, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1312107
[16:47] <jacobi> dejai: i locked up before I found out if there was a key combo like ctrl-alt-delete to get control back.
[16:48] <dejai> jacobi, It mentions something like that in the bug report actually.
[16:48] <PrototypeX29A> i am using evolution and find the standard error messages depicted at the bottom of the frame kind of useless, the messages under "Help > Debug logs" seldomly are more helpful. Is there a place to find more detailed error messages?
[16:48] <dejai> jacobi, Anyway good luck with it.
[16:48] <duffydack> Im havin trouble getting karmic liveusb to boot past the white circle logo on my new dell studio 1747 (i7, 4gig mem, 1gig ati radeon 4650).. i can boot using safe gfx mode but thats not much good if its not detecting the video/resolution properly..  it just goes black after loading for while...i can access terminal with ctrl-alt-f keys if thats any use.
[16:49] <jacobi> dejai: which bug number? thanks. Just watch that thread then?
[16:49] <dejai> jacobi, You could always try one last thing let me dig it up
[16:49] <dejai> jacobi, A wiki post on some common strategies.
[16:50] <dejai> jacobi, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze
[16:50] <dejai> jacobi, But ya just watch the thread and maybe try some of the suggestions in the wiki link.
[16:51] <jacobi> dejai: thanks! Here's to a new kernel!
[16:52] <dejai> duffydack, I will try and help.
[16:52] <dejai> duffydack, So it doesn't seem to be able to detect your graphics card since you are booting from safemode.
[16:53] <dejai> duffydack, Pop a term and run lsmod
[16:53] <stygian> hi all, question about the network manager thing (this is in 8.10, i know its old)

[16:54] <stygian> ive successfully set up both my wired lan and my wireless connection through it.  the only thing is it sets my default route to be over the wired network, and my ISP is through the wireless
[16:54] <duffydack> it does see it, ive spoken to someone on a forum that has same/simililar spec laptop and has it installed....but says he had lockups with the hardware driver, so installed ati's....

[16:57] <dejai> Sorry
[16:57] <jarray52> What programs are prerequisites for gdm to start in Ubuntu? After the linux kernel boots, what procs need to be started?
[16:57] <rek> help
[16:57] <dejai> stygian, You want to be on ethernet for lan and wireless for internet simultaneously?
[16:57] <rek> too many
[16:57] <duffydack> dejai, lspci grep ati does show it as mobility radeon 4650, so its there, just it wont load as far as the bootsplash..think maybe its the screen resolution?  1600x900

[17:05] <lesshaste> llutz: thanks
[17:05] <dejai> jarray52, Ok between X and gdm is .xinitrc which tells X which program to run
[17:05] <dejai> jarray52, GDM uses GTK which uses Xlib which X can understand.
[17:05] <grawity> AFAIK, GDM does not use .xinitrc

[17:12] <grawity> C_Kode: update-rc.d, if I remember correctly.
[17:12] <llutz> C_Kode: update-rc.d

[17:13] <Pelo> how do I reload the modules ( lsmod, modprobe) without restarting the pc ?
[17:13] <osirisx11> i'm trying to install the new version of flash and i did a find / -name on the flash .so but i have many copies on my system and i don't know where to install it
[17:13] <grawity> Pelo: rmmod and reinsert?
[17:14] <osirisx11> anyone know how i can find out what is the directory actually being used by my firefox for global plugins?
[17:14] <erUSUL> Pelo: all modules ?
[17:14] <billy_> question for users of latex on ubuntu. can i simply apt-get install texlive texmaker and Im set to go? or is there more? There is a howto on installing it on the forums but this is from 2005 I think, and is outdated by the looks of it
[17:14] <dejai> osirisx11, ~/.firefox
[17:14] <Pelo> grawity, no idea which is why I ask ,  so sudo rmmod and sudo reinsert &?
[17:14] <Pelo> erUSUL, I just blacklisted one
[17:14] <osirisx11> dejai: that is my local user, i want system wide
[17:14] <dejai> osirisx11, ~/.mozilla
[17:15] <dejai> osirisx11, Oh
[17:15] <mcphail> billy_: i don't recall any significant differences installing LaTeX over the years

[17:16] <dejai> osirisx11, 3 instances of the same static library?
[17:16] <Pelo> osirisx11, unzip the flash file from adobe then ,  look at the names  locate that name and replace all those files

[17:16] <billy_> mcphail, for example, on the howto, tex is downloaded from the site and the path is set etc (im an ubuntu newb). I think my path is already set when i install from the repos?
[17:16] <osirisx11> okay, yeah i can replace them all. that works.
[17:16] <osirisx11> i was hoping there was an easy way to tell which one was actually being used though
[17:16] <Pelo> osirisx11, then just sudo cp /path/sourcefile /path/destfile
[17:17] <erUSUL> Pelo: do you have somethin connected to the parport ?
[17:17] <Pelo> erUSUL, my printers
[17:17] <mcphail> billy_: just install from the repos. Everything will be set up nicely

[17:17] <Pelo> erUSUL, can I tell you my wholle issue maybe you can help
[17:18] <erUSUL> Pelo: removing the module will make them stop working afaics .. what is the output of « lsmod | grep parport »
[17:18] <dejai> mcphail, Not true for one particular brother printer it gives it the wrong driver (The one I own)
[17:18] <billy_> mcphail, im a newbie to tex. i installed texmaker and texlive both from repos. these seem to work together, and i assume they need setting up since Ive created basic tex document and its exited with errors

[17:18] <mcphail> dejai: there are edge cases for evertything. The correct solution to that is to file a bug and the repos will be fixed
[17:18] <abhilashm86> since the kernel is upgraded, no login sound and no sound in headphones, has anyone had this problem?
[17:18] <dejai> goose, If you want to do what i think you want to do (send encrypted X to connect remotely)
[17:19] <dejai> mcphail, Very popular model.
[17:19] <dejai> mcphail, I just manual install the driver.
[17:19] <billy_> ahh nevermind mcphail, there is alittle more to tex than i thought
[17:19] <Pelo> goose, ssh username@pcip
[17:19] <dejai> mcphail, I should file a bug though.

[17:20] <mcphail> billy_: it is _normal_ to get errors!
[17:20] <dejai> Pelo, -X

[17:30] <|Slacker|> so...buy a bigger thumdrive dude :p
[17:30] <obiwan_> guys 1 question, i updated to karmic, and i still have grub 0.97, while karmic is supposed to have grub2 . Why?
[17:31] <Maletor> i need 3.12gb usb :)
[17:31] <ZykoticK9> obiwan_, upgrades don't get the new grub
[17:31] <blakkheim> obiwan_: consider yourself lucky that you don't have to deal with grub2
[17:31] <|Slacker|> that?s winblows for ya
[17:31] <holmser> grub 2 isn't bad
[17:31] <obiwan_> whi blakkheim ? all my friends say it's nice, and they had no problem at all :P
[17:31] <obiwan_> ok ZykoticK9
[17:32] <holmser> automatically set up all my partitions ok
[17:32] <obiwan_> is there any other package not installed when upgrading?
[17:32] <ZykoticK9> obiwan_, ext4 is the only other thing i can think of
[17:33] <obiwan_> many others 'not present' in karmic got uninstalled, and upgraded ones got upgraded, i thought that was the case for all of them
[17:33] <fujimitsu> blakkheim: i disagree.. grub2 is very apt to the job.. and it will support trendy themes even ... besides most issues with it can be repaired by doing a update-grub in terminal
[17:33] <Maletor> i'm going to download virtualbox and see what happens
[17:33] <obiwan_> but ext4 works in karmic ZykoticK9  right? i got my disks formated in ext4
[17:33] <ZykoticK9> obiwan_, yes it works
[17:33] <obiwan_> so what do you mean with 'only ext4 is the...' ?
[17:34] <karleeto> got a new laptop last night and installed ubuntu on it, very nice!!
[17:34] <karleeto> its
[17:34] <karleeto> err, its been forever since i had a linux desktop
[17:34] <ZykoticK9> obiwan_, when you fresh install Karmic your / will be ext4 but if you upgrade it won't
[17:34] <effex> Hello
[17:34] <karleeto> all my servers run gentoo, and have for years, but this is the first dedicated linux desktop machine i've had in like 3 years
[17:34] <fujimitsu> however you can install grub at any time as well
[17:34] <obiwan_> hmm ok i get it, cause in jaunty default is ext3 hehe i made sure i had ext4 hehe thanks ;)
[17:34] <fujimitsu> grbu2
[17:34] <karleeto> congrats to the ubuntu developers, very nice job
[17:35] <obiwan_> fujimitsu as simple as sudo apt-get install grub2?
[17:35] <guntbert> karleeto:  Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[17:35] <obiwan_> i yet have grub 0.97, should i uninstall it first or sth?
[17:35] <fujimitsu> !grub2 > obiwan_
[17:35] <jacobi> I have an intel graphics chip problem and I set my screensaver to feedback which locks the system. How do I set the screen saver to none, without loading the preview in the system preferences screensaver gnome app?

[17:36] <eliot_> how do u overclock a cpu
[17:36] <tolpico> Hello is there a bandwidth monitoring program for ubuntu like bitmeter http://codebox.org.uk/controller?page=bitmeter2   I want to monitor the network traffic at all times, probably the app sitting at a corner. Thanks.
[17:37] <guntbert> !ot | eliot_
[17:38] <ZykoticK9> tolpico, conky or gkrellm have real time network monitors (there are probably many more)
[17:38] <tolpico> ZykoticK9, never hard about them, i will try them now, thanks
[17:39] <sebsebseb> obiwan_: that's ok
[17:39] <ldiamond> Anyone know why Empathy wont work on MSN? I cant send or recieve messages. It connects fine, I see people
[17:39] <sebsebseb> obiwan_: the old Grub is fine for now
[17:39] <ldiamond> people's status, but cant communicate
[17:39] <heoa> what is the default port of Sshd?
[17:39] <eliot_> ldiamond try pidgin
[17:39] <guntbert> heoa: 22
[17:39] <llutz> heoa: 22
[17:39] <sebsebseb> obiwan_: Grub 2 is a bit uh at the moment etc.  may as well stay with the old Grub for now :)
[17:39] <JuJuBee_> What do I need to install on Januty to get dvd playback to work?
[17:40] <obiwan_> haha i like to try , anyway i don't have antyhing really important here sebsebseb  :)
[17:40] <fujimitsu> thats the spirit
[17:40] <obiwan_> thanks :)
[17:40] <sebsebseb> obiwan_: you won't get any proper advantage
[17:40] <sebsebseb> obiwan_: in fact you probably won't really get an advantage at all
[17:40] <obiwan_> thx u2 fuji :)
[17:40] <karleeto> guntbert: nope, i'm pretty good with linux.. just came to chat, maybe help someone else, etc
[17:40] <sebsebseb> obiwan_: newer is not always better.  Also as far as I know Grub 2 isn't even on a proper final version yet.
[17:41] <Gartral1> my system stops while trying to boot ubuntu from image ubnkern.............. ubninit..............Ready and there's a flashing curser under the very first letter in the ubnkern line
[17:41] <ZykoticK9> JuJuBee_, www.medibuntu.org has libdvdcss2 which allows commercial dvd playback
[17:41] <fujimitsu> sebsebseb: stop feeding horror stories to the guy
[17:41] <guntbert> karleeto: this channel is strictly for ubuntu support - general chat usually happens #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:41] <jacobi> where are the screensaver settings stored?
[17:41] <narendra> hi
[17:42] <dnivra> !hi | narendra
[17:42] <JuJuBee_> ZykoticK9: thanks, just found that in a forum post.
[17:42] <sebsebseb> obiwan_: and if Grub mess's up and you can't boot up your OS anymore, well that's not much fun,  but if you want to put it on anyway, ok sure go a head
[17:42] <ldiamond> eliot_: does pidgin support video chats?
[17:42] <ZykoticK9> jacobi, they should be somewhere in "gconf-editor"
[17:42] <eliot_> ldiamond no not yet or u can try amsn but im not sure how that works
[17:43] <gdb> GRUB2 is good enough that it's in Debian testing.  Things generally don't make it there if they're garbage.
[17:43] <hur> can someone help with installing gom player on wine
[17:43] <sebsebseb> gdb: that's not true
[17:43] <sebsebseb> gdb: that's not quite true
[17:43] <sebsebseb> gdb: experimental then testing, then stable
[17:43] <narendra> hi, i am using BenQ netbook and my wifi and Audio is not working :( http://pastie.org/754644
[17:43] <guntbert> but karleeto we appreciate every helping hand :-) welcome
[17:43] <gdb> unstable -> testing -> stable
[17:43] <gdb> experimental is unrelated to the others (ie; no direct feeds between them)
[17:43] <ZykoticK9> ldiamond, pidgin (especially the ppa version) is suppose to support video for various protocols (i've never gotten it working mind you).  Good luck.  if you're using MSN then aMSN is probably your best bet for video
[17:43] <xiven> Hello
[17:44] <xiven> I don't remember the nick of who helped me, but i wanted to say thank you. My issue has been resolved
[17:44] <User_007> i need help. I have just installed Karmic, but usb devices are not found
[17:44] <gdb> At anyrate, things do not *generally* make it to testing unless it's "good enough for gov't work"
[17:44] <sebsebseb> gdb: right well it's not  Debian  Stable quality yet, so that's something to  maybe think a little bit about
[17:44] <xiven> I now have a shared folder with the host OS
[17:44] <JuJuBee_> ZykoticK9: well, vlc still won't play the dvd even after libdvdcss2 installed
[17:44] <xiven> Will I have to remount the shared folder everytime I start the VM?
[17:44] <ZykoticK9> JuJuBee_, try loggin out and back in
[17:45] <Jinxed-> So I am starting the upgrade from 9.04 and 9.10, and it says a bunch of things are no longer supported and will be suggested for removal at the end of the upgrade... most concerning of which is g++ for me. Is it a good idea to remove the suggested items at the end of the upgrade?
[17:45] <JuJuBee_> K, thanks will give it a go.
[17:45] <obiwan_> hehe sebsebseb  i don't care if i loose it, i just installed and if doesn't work, i'll simply reinstall grub hehe i've just installed grub2 gonna reboot and try brb!!!
[17:45] <r00t_> what could i use besides k3b for burnign audio cds
[17:45] <sebsebseb> obiwan_: ok
[17:45] <xiven> JuJuBee_> I would suggest using MPlayer, it has always seemed much easier to me, then using any other DVD Player
[17:45] <obiwan_> brb guys *trying grub2 reboot menu*
[17:45] <gdb> You understand that Ubuntu is based on debian *unstable* yes?  (It's not until the next LTS that it's rebasing on testing).  I mean, I totally get you want to let the guy know some caveats, but GRUB2 isn't the "omg data suicide!" that you're implying.
[17:45] <hur> hi im having trouble installing gom player on wine
[17:46] <sebsebseb> Jinxed-: you might get quite a few issues after upgrading from 9.04.  Also 9.04 is still a rather good release, in fact for quite a lot of people it's better than 9.10.  It's also got just under a year of support left.
[17:46] <narendra> anybody for my help, please help me to get my audio work, I have tried a lot
[17:46] <gdb> I'm not sure what the fuss is about anyway.  It's a boot loader.  IT doesn't need to be exciting.  I see it once every couple of months.
[17:46] <eliot_> ldaimond it looks like u can use video in amsn
[17:46] <por_ki>  Why data transfering in ubuntu 9.10 is slower than windows, please see screenshot for MMC data transfering http://i46.tinypic.com/j61lbp.jpg, any solution?
[17:46] <heoa> grawity: how do you connect to the daemon?  just:   ssh user@ip:22  ?
[17:46] <Jinxed-> sebsebseb: I take it your suggesting I just skip the update?
[17:46] <narendra> lspci say - "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) HD Audio "
[17:46] <maco> sebsebseb: hardy isnt even debian stable yet :P
[17:46] <grawity> heoa: ssh user@host
[17:46] <grawity> heoa: No need to specify the port.
[17:46] <llslim> is there a way to list the packages i upgradedin previous month. because i cannot load any website or do an update but yet ping and tracepath is fine. so it has to be a config file messed up somewhere. am i thinking correctly?
[17:46] <sebsebseb> maco: well yeah, I guess that's true :D
[17:47] <Gartral1> i have personally seen windows bootloader fail more and in many more spectacular ways that any version of unlo, lilo, and grub combined
[17:47] <eric_3> i need help w/ java program. Where should i go?
[17:47] <User_007> lsusb dont find any usb device on karmic koala
[17:47] <Jinxed-> try #java eric_3
[17:47] <eric_3> thankyou
[17:47] <JuJuBee_> ZykoticK9: no joy... vlc says : http://paste.ubuntu.com/345450/
[17:47] <fujimitsu> gdb , sebsebseb always talks like a ghoul of sorts, you'll get used to it
[17:47] <maco> sebsebseb: really, grub2 is fine. its not gonna lose you data. its just a bit harder to configure *at the moment* simply because we havent gotten as much practice with it as we have wtih grub1
[17:47] <Elive_user58_en> does anyone know a good channel for networking issues?
[17:48] <ubuntutrepxe> Elive_user58_en: ##networking
[17:48] <sebsebseb> Jinxed-: not nessariley,  but newer is not always better, depends on the user and hardware and that.  A newer boot up for 9.10,  software centre instead of add/remove,  Ubuntu One,  and under the hood changes.  Ext4 by default for clean install's not Ext3 9.04 upgrades. and no Grub 2 on upgrade from 9.04.
[17:48] <ZykoticK9> JuJuBee_, test one - try another DVD  --- test two "mplayer dvd://1"
[17:48] <r00t_> what could i use besides k3b for burnign audio cds? a quick answer would be great ineed to burn some xmass cds for my little sister before i leave in ahlf hour

[17:48] <ubuntujenkins> I am putting my family computer on ubuntu and keeping xp on the second disk. I am trying to put in a custom menu entry http://paste.ubuntu.com/345449/ however when i sudo update-grub i get the error shown below in the link
[17:48] <isolat3dsh33p> *fret
[17:48] <isolat3dsh33p> !hi | txoe
[17:48] <isolat3dsh33p> !hi | txor
[17:48] <r00t_> thanks lulz
[17:49] <Maletor> why do i get 'error creating filesystem: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot spawn 'mkntfs -f -L "Windows" /dev/sdb1': Failed to execute child process "mkntfs" (no such file or directory)'
[17:49] <sebsebseb> Jinxed-: ah yes and newer version of GDM,  which can't just be themed like the old one.
[17:49] <txor> how can I find the loco team for spain?
[17:49] <Jinxed-> hmm well sebsebseb my computer seems to boot very quickly right now, and in general it has been very stable. The only problem I have had is that video playback, flash, etc runs choppy.
[17:49] <tolpico> ZykoticK9, I installed conky through synaptic. Conky is not present in Applications menu anywhere. How can I run the app?
[17:49] <sreekumar> hey, how  to change bootscreen?
[17:49] <txor> call conky from the shell
[17:49] <ZykoticK9> tolpico, try running it from a terminal -- FYI i don't use conky
[17:50] <sebsebseb> Jinxed-: your Flash issue might get solved by an ugprade to 9.10,  but  it's not that likely
[17:50] <r00t_> llutz: i was looking for a GUI app
[17:50] <gdb> ubuntujenkins: Historically, Windows really does not like being on any disk other than the first one.  Can you possibly reconsider where you're locating each OS?  Linux can live quite happily on the second disk.
[17:50] <ThatGuyOverThere> My login screen got all messed up and I have no idea how.
[17:50] <Jinxed-> sebsebseb: I was hoping I just would be able to watch youtube, hulu, etc without it being choppy
[17:50] <xiven> Are there any areas that Ubuntu could use some help with development?
[17:50] <sebsebseb> Jinxed-: try another browser for Flash :)
[17:50] <bastid_raZor> tolpico: you can add a menu item for it. right click and edit menus
[17:50] <Jinxed-> sebsebseb: is there a safe way i could install video card support
[17:50] <JuJuBee_> ZykoticK9: I have no other dvd at the moment, but mplayer option is working.
[17:50] <PrototypeX29A> how can i see in rhythmbox, whether a radio stream is an ogg?
[17:50] <LucidPerry> How come when I run "sudo init 3" I'm not returned to a command line?
[17:50] <ubuntujenkins> gdb I will see if I can add ubuntu to the xp loading menu
[17:50] <Jinxed-> sebsebseb: don't use the flash as much as the video
[17:50] <erUSUL> !runlevels | LucidPerry
[17:50] <sebsebseb> maco: yeah regarding Grub 2 that sounds right
[17:51] <ZykoticK9> JuJuBee_, then it's a VLC issue -- i don't use VLC often so i have no solution for that... good luck
[17:51] <gdb> underdog7: That is entirely possible.  There should be instructions online for editing the BOOT.INI file in Windows.
[17:51] <Jinxed-> i have a fairly good computer so it should more than be able to handle the video.
[17:51] <User_007> Guys ACPI=off disables USB?
[17:51] <sebsebseb> Jinxed-: which video card?
[17:51] <JuJuBee_> ZykoticK9: thanks
[17:51] <ThatGuyOverThere> Help?
[17:51] <Slapfish> hello everybody... I'm trying to build my first python scripts and I want to know if there is a fast way to take the string "name_etc_etc2.dat" and cut everything after the first _ so finally I can get "name", thanks in advance and sorry for my ignorance...I can't find anything in google
[17:51] <LucidPerry> erUSUL: I'm not sure I understand.
[17:51] <jacobi> I am not finding a gconf key to indicate which screensaver I am running. I would like to make sure no screen saver runs, what do I change. Preview in the system configuration locks up.
[17:51] <gdb> ubuntujenkins: You'll need to install a Linux boot loader (lilo, grub) on the Linux boot partition.  This will be loaded by the Windows loader when you select Linux.
[17:51] <LucidPerry> erUSUL: "All equal" what does that imply (I'm new to Linux, trying to teach myself about it :P)
[17:51] <Maletor> why do i get 'error creating filesystem: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot spawn 'mkntfs -f -L "Windows" /dev/sdb1': Failed to execute child process "mkntfs" (no such file or directory)'
[17:52] <erUSUL> LucidPerry: in runlevel 3 ubuntu launchs gdm just like in runlevel 2 and 4 and 5
[17:52] <genii> LucidPerry: muli-user level of 3 is same as 2 is same as 4 is same as 5.
[17:52] <Maletor> when trying to make an ntfs filesystem from disk utility
[17:52] <ubuntujenkins> thanks gdb
[17:52] <Gartral1> my system stops while trying to boot ubuntu from image ubnkern.............. ubninit..............Ready and there's a flashing curser under the very first letter in the ubnkern line
[17:52] <grawity> Slapfish: somestring.find("_") to find the first _
[17:52] <eric_3> help?
[17:52] <ThatGuyOverThere> Somebody? Help? Login screen messed up?
[17:52] <LucidPerry> erUSUL: genii: Aha.
[17:52] <eric_3> i need help w/ java program
[17:52] <grawity> Slapfish: And somestring[:somestring.find("_")] to get everything from the beginning to that _
[17:52] <eric_3> anyone here work w/ java
[17:52] <eric_3> ?
[17:52] <sebsebseb> Jinxed-:  each version of Ubuntu gets a differnet version of xorg,  so if you upgrade to 9.10,  you might end up with issues with your graphics card, depending on which one you have
[17:52] <erUSUL> LucidPerry: other distribution (red hat fedora) only have gdm (hraphics) in runlevel 3 or five and other runlevels are command line
[17:52] <grawity> Slapfish: And ##python for more help
[17:52] <maco> LucidPerry: i assume youve got a book based on red hat or something?
[17:53] <maco> erUSUL: er not quite
[17:53] <ignomy> Hi there.  My mouse does not work at all.  I recently reinstalled ubuntu onto my home desktop computer.  I put on Ubuntu 9.10.  The computer is dual-boot and runs XP, mouse and all.  Does anyone have any ideas.  Computing sans mouse sucks
[17:53] <LucidPerry> maco: I have a Fedora installation, and have had some time with OpenSUSE :P
[17:53]  * _RyanB_ says hello :)
[17:53] <maco> erUSUL: in 3, they have no display manger but do have networking. in 5 they have a display manager
[17:53] <LucidPerry> erUSUL: Right. That makes sense.
[17:53] <maco> erUSUL: i think 2 is multiuser, no networ
[17:53] <maco> *network
[17:53] <maco> and 4 is undefined on most systems...
[17:53] <ThatGuyOverThere> Okay, seriously, somebody? My login screen is messed up and it's annoying as hell.
[17:53] <ThatGuyOverThere> Please help?
[17:53] <Jinxed-> sebsebseb: Should i enable restricted graphics... last time i did that if memory serves i had to reinstall ubuntu, however mycard should have support
[17:53] <maco> hang on i made a chart of this
[17:53] <genii> LucidPerry: If you want to drop to single user, use: sudo telinit 1
[17:53] <Jamed> !details | eric_3
[17:54] <sebsebseb> Jinxed-: Do you know which card you actsaully have?
[17:54] <genii> LucidPerry: sudo telinit 2       to re-enter regular init mode
[17:54] <freaky[t]_> i recently installed windows7 .. how do I restore grub2?
[17:54] <eric_3> double x = Math.sqrt(index); it says not compatible
[17:54] <zleap> freaky[t]_, you may be able to restore grub from a live cd
[17:54] <LucidPerry> genii: Okay. I'll look into the telinit command. Thank you.
[17:54] <ThatGuyOverThere> Somebody help?
[17:54] <Jamed> eric_3: you should ask that in #java, not in a ubuntu support channel
[17:54] <freaky[t]_> zleap ho
[17:54] <ThatGuyOverThere> My login screen is screwed up. How do I fix it?
[17:54] <freaky[t]_> zleap how?
[17:54] <eric_3> i cant find that channel
[17:54] <erUSUL> maco: sorry for not remebering exactly what the runlevels on a distribution i do not use are for; i should think twice before i make and educated guess in front of you
[17:54] <Originooo> exit
[17:55] <eric_3> i tried
[17:55] <freaky[t]_> !grub2
[17:55] <Originooo> oops
[17:55] <txor> what happened thatguy?
[17:55] <maco> erUSUL, LucidPerry: http://people.ubuntu.com/~maco.m/runlevels.png
[17:55] <zleap> try that
[17:55] <Jamed> eric_3: well, the name was just a guess, but there has to be a java related channel somewhere
[17:55] <ThatGuyOverThere> Don't know. All of a sudden my login screen is all screwed up. It looks like something out of Windows 95. It works, but it's ugly as hell.
[17:55] <maco> erUSUL: well LucidPerry had mentioned that on 3 he expected not to have gdm, so i think that wouldve been a hint to help the guessing ;)
[17:55] <tolpico> ZykoticK9, about conky, its not present in edit menus. I tried running "conky" in terminal, it prints three lines, the last one being "Conky: drawing to single buffer". The process still running. Thanks, still finding other ways.
[17:55] <ThatGuyOverThere> This happened after I was messing around with themes... but I don't understand how that would affect the login screen.
[17:56] <txor> desktop mamager?
[17:56] <sebsebseb> ThatGuyOverThere: your on 9.10?
[17:56] <ThatGuyOverThere> Gnome.
[17:56] <eric_3> i know there is ##java but it is password locked
[17:56] <guntbert> eric_3: try ##java
[17:56] <ThatGuyOverThere> sebsebseb: Yes.
[17:56] <ZykoticK9> tolpico, sorry man i don't use conky so i have no idea
[17:56] <jacobi> what is the default value for no screensaver in the gconf.xml for gnome-screensaver?
[17:56] <eric_3> password locked
[17:56] <grawity> eric_3: ##java is not locked here.
[17:56] <sebsebseb> ThatGuyOverThere: ugly as hell, ok provide more details, what do you mean exactly?
[17:56] <maco> tolpico: just run it from alt+f2. type "conky"
[17:56] <ThatGuyOverThere> The user switch window thing is gray and boxy.
[17:56] <maco> tolpico: you might want to dig up a .conkyrc from the forums or something though
[17:57] <genii> !register | eric_3
[17:57] <eric_3> k but i am having trouble with getting on to channel
[17:57] <ThatGuyOverThere> Like I said, everything looks like it belongs in Windows 95.
[17:57] <ignomy> I will ask again:  My mouse does not work at all.  I recently reinstalled ubuntu onto my home desktop computer.  I put on Ubuntu 9.10.  The computer is dual-boot and runs XP, mouse and all.  Does anyone have any ideas.  Computing sans mouse sucks
[17:57] <sebsebseb> ThatGuyOverThere: are you seeing brown on the log in screen?
[17:57] <Slapfish> geawity: thanks...I'll try it right now
[17:57] <ThatGuyOverThere> It doesn't have the same color or window appearance as it used to.
[17:57] <ThatGuyOverThere> You mean the background image?
[17:57] <ThatGuyOverThere> Yes.
[17:57] <genii> eric_3: Many freenode channels do not allow unregistered users
[17:57] <tolpico> ZykoticK9, oh hey! it runs, alt f2 conky, thank you very much!! weird what hapenned when terminal. anyway thanks once again
[17:57] <eric_3> how do i register my name?
[17:57] <amelius> ignomy: is that a USB mouse you're referring to? did it work with Ubuntu before you reinstalled? which release were you using previously?
[17:57] <sebsebseb> ThatGuyOverThere: ok I think your getting the normal one?  your getting it after an upgrade, a clean install?
[17:57] <gdb> This is a dumb and likely off topic question, but I have no idea where else to ask. What is the convention for naming a channel ##java rather than just #java?  Or any other channel that sticks a spurious pound in there?
[17:57] <guntbert> !register | eric_3
[17:57] <dnivra> ignomy: did you format the drive in which ubuntu is installed?
[17:57] <ThatGuyOverThere> But everything in the foreground... the user switch window and the menus on the bottom and everything are messed up.
[17:58] <LjL> gdb: ask in #freenode
[17:58] <sebsebseb> ThatGuyOverThere: messed up how?
[17:58] <gdb> LjL: Ah, so there is a reason.  Thanks!
[17:58] <JuJuBee_> I wanted to try out 9.10 so I booted from live cd and when it loads, my  mouse keeps jumping back to the upper left corner of the screen when I try to move it.  I tried finding anything in the forums, but no luck.
[17:58] <ThatGuyOverThere> Like I said... gray and boxy.
[17:58] <genii> !register > eric_3
[17:58] <grawity> gdb: Part of Freenode's channel naming convention. "Unofficial" channels (those not belonging to a registered project) go into the secondary namespace (with ##)
[17:58] <ThatGuyOverThere> And it's a clean install, not an upgrade.
[17:58] <JuJuBee_> When I boot the live cd with virtualbox, it works fine.
[17:58] <sebsebseb> ThatGuyOverThere: ok
[17:58] <gdb> That makes perfect sense, thank you. :-)
[17:59] <gdb> JuJuBee_: Is this a PS2 mouse?
[17:59] <gdb> JuJuBee_: Or a trackpad?
[17:59] <LjL> gdb: http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#channelnaming
[17:59] <JuJuBee_> gdb it is both..  Im on laptop with trackpad and a connected usb mouse
[17:59] <ignomy> 1) It is not a USB mouse.  I am not sure what type of mouse it's called, but is has a circular sort of connector.  I had been running single-boot ubuntu J, I believe, a while ago and my mouse worked, but I don't think it was the same mouse.  2) I don't believe that I did.  Should I, if so, how do I go about doing that?
[17:59] <ThatGuyOverThere> So is there anything I can do to fix it?
[17:59] <sebsebseb> ThatGuyOverThere: the bad news is you can't just theme it like the old one.  There is some program that can maybe do it though etc.   There is a way to install the old screen, but then you got configure some how.  Plus it's old so I am not so sure about that.   There's kdm for example in the repo as an alternative to GDM, which KDE/Kubuntu uses.  Plus there's Slim which they say is a nice one, but that's not in the repo.
[18:00] <eliot_> ldiamond use aMsn it supports video and voice
[18:00] <ThatGuyOverThere> I am NOT putting anything related to KDM on my computer.
[18:00] <dnivra> ignomy: I did the same thing - reinstall ubuntu and I didn't format the drive during installation. I just overwrote the existing files. and my mouse didn't work at all: touchpad, usb whatever.
[18:01] <dnivra> ignomy: did you format the drive when you installed ubuntu again?
[18:01] <sebsebseb> ThatGuyOverThere: if you don't want to change the screen, your stuck with it for now basicalley.
[18:01] <ThatGuyOverThere> I figure I should be able to just undo whatever messed it up before! I didn't install any login screen software that messed it up the way it is now.
[18:01] <sebsebseb> ThatGuyOverThere: was it alwasy like that, after your clean install?
[18:01] <ThatGuyOverThere> No.
[18:01] <ThatGuyOverThere> It just started doing it today.
[18:02] <maco> ThatGuyOverThere: is your computer showing the rigt colours otherwise?
[18:02] <maco> ThatGuyOverThere: or are your colours just generally screwed?
[18:02] <sebsebseb> ThatGuyOverThere: oh ok uhmmm  I guess some where in /home in a hidden folder is  the config files, but I don't know where in that case
[18:02] <ignomy> I did not format ubuntu when I installed ubuntu.  I wanted to keep some of the files from my home directory, so I did not.  I need to format the hard drive and reinstall ubuntu to fix my mouse probelm?
[18:02] <ThatGuyOverThere> Once I log in, everything looks just the way it's supposed to.
[18:02] <ThatGuyOverThere> Only the login screen is messed up.
[18:02] <dnivra> ignomy: check my PM
[18:02] <Ubuntu_User> Hey How do I find out what graphics chip I have so I can get the driver for it?
[18:02] <JuJuBee_> gdb: any thoughts?
[18:03] <gdb> the circular connector type mouse, and most trackpads, are PS2.  I've seldom had much luck with those.  I would suggest in this case that the USB mouse and the PS2 mouse are interfering with each other.  Have you tried booting without the USB mosue connected?
[18:03] <maco> Ubuntu_User: lspci
[18:03] <gdb> (they use different drivers)
[18:03] <Ubuntu_User> ??
[18:03] <Ubuntu_User> What does that mean?
[18:03] <JuJuBee_> gdb: yes, I removed the usb mouse and booted laptop using only trackpad.  Same problem.
[18:03] <blakkheim> Ubuntu_User: open terminal and type lspci
[18:03] <ignomy> How do I check my PM without using my mouse?  I am using xchat
[18:04] <eric_3> qoute MODE %c +b
[18:04] <Ubuntu_User> Oh ok
[18:04] <dnivra> ignomy: alright no problem
[18:04] <gdb> JuJuBee_: Hrm, as an experiment, are you able to disable the trackpad in the machine's BIOS and boot with the USB mouse connected?  I would guess there is something wrong with how the OS is detecting your trackpad.
[18:04] <gdb> JuJuBee_: I'm not sure that's something that can be corrected at the boot prompt.
[18:04] <ignomy> dnivra: what was in your PM?  I can't get to it.
[18:05] <ZykoticK9> Ubuntu_User, a much shorter/easier would be to run "lspci | grep VGA" in terminal
[18:05] <dnivra> ignomy: didn't send any since you can't see.
[18:05] <dnivra> ignomy: thing is I think there's some configuration file in your home directory concerning the mouse. and it's causing the problem
[18:05] <dnivra> ignomy: i'm not sure though ok
[18:05] <JuJuBee_> gdb: dunno, I guess I can try that later.  I am in the middle of something at the moment and don't want to restart now.  I can't imagine what they could have changed since 9.04
[18:06] <ignomy> do you know what it's called, what to change, or anything of that sort?
[18:06] <dnivra> ignomy: but the description you gave - reinstalling without formatting during installation to keep the files
[18:06] <guntbert> ignomy: <alt> <window number> switches
[18:07] <dnivra> ignomy: i don't know exactly what to change: i re-installed once more after backing up my home directory since the binaries where all gone
[18:07] <Ubuntu_User> HOw do I make that hugs line? in the middle?
[18:07] <Ubuntu_User> I mean huge line...I don't see it on my keyboard
[18:09] <blakkheim> lol
[18:09] <ZykoticK9> Ubuntu_User, it's on my \ key ???
[18:09] <ZykoticK9> Ubuntu_User, i'd call it a pipe key (not sure what the real name is)
[18:10] <ghost> Why wont compiz work on my computer..
[18:10] <Guest18908> I use the animations..and I clicked on burn, explode etc.
[18:10] <andrzej> je ktoz polski ???
[18:10] <Guest18908> It doesn't do anything
[18:10] <soreau> ghost: What have you tried to get it working so far?
[18:11] <guntbert> !pl | andrzej
[18:11] <Guest18908> Nothing really.  I watched a tutorial video, and she said that it would work automatically.
[18:11] <Guest18908> once I checkmarked.

[18:14] <soreau> ! ccsm | gh0st
[18:14] <Ubuntu_User> Ok...I downloaded the intel graphics driver...ummm how do I install it?
[18:14] <Ubuntu_User> Whats OpenGl and should I get that instead?
[18:14] <sandrine> hello world !!
[18:15] <soreau> Ubuntu_User: You should need to install the intel driver since its already installed by default
[18:15] <dnivra> !hi | sandrine
[18:15] <soreau> Ubuntu_User: Why are you trying to do this?
[18:15] <gh0st> I have the compiz settings manager..  I click on the animations button, and select "burn" etc..  when I'm done, nothing "burns"
[18:15] <Ubuntu_User> theres no 3d support in python
[18:15] <Ubuntu_User> Want to improve graphics
[18:16] <gh0st> (ubottu) is that how you do it?
[18:16] <gh0st> lol ok, I suck at red sentence thing..
[18:16] <amelius> gh0st: u-bot-tu is a bot, fyi
[18:16] <soreau> gh0st: WHere are you selecting burn at? If you select burn in the check box, that is only for random animation events. also, ubottu is a bot
[18:16] <dnivra> gh0st: best you go to compiz's IRC channel. and BTW ubottu is a bot
[18:17] <gh0st> lol
[18:17] <gh0st> Ok ok, ubottu is a bot.
[18:17] <dnivra> gh0st: just type someone's nick like we did till now and it'll come red for that person with that nick
[18:17] <gh0st> dnivra: oh
[18:17] <gh0st> like that?
[18:17] <Ubuntu_User> says no OpenGl support do I need OpenGl?
[18:17] <dnivra> gh0st: yup
[18:17] <gh0st> dnivra: thanks
[18:17] <Ubuntu_User> And what Gtk?
[18:18] <dnivra> gh0st: no problem mate. glad I could help out.
[18:18] <gh0st> dnivra: Where is the compiz chat?
[18:18] <eviltoaster_3e> how do i read or write to the serial port?      (USB to SERIAL - servo controller)
[18:18] <dnivra> gh0st: dunno check the channel list on freenode. I think someone did mention it already too not sure.
[18:19] <Flare183> dnivra gh0st I know
[18:19] <soreau> gh0st: /j #compiz
[18:19] <Flare183> oh well nvm
[18:19] <gh0st> dnivra: thanks.  Oh, and thanks for the tip about the bot!
[18:19] <gh0st> soreau: thanks as well!  I keep my eye on those bots!
[18:19] <dnivra> gh0st: sure no problem. do thank the others too who said it before me:).
[18:19] <Ubuntu_User> Do I need a Graphics driver for intel or Opengl?
[18:20] <tolpico> The issue: Screen resolution once set doesn't remain so after restart. I have nvidia driver, so I go to System>Admin>NVIDIA X server settings, apply the resolution, but after restart it resets to default resolution. Any ideas what should I do?
[18:23] <russianzilla> Just wondering, does anyone know how to adjust the ranges of Karmic's volume control so that it's in sync with alsamixer?
[18:23] <JuJuBee_> tolpico: you need to save to x config
[18:24] <tolpico> I just tried to save the resolution settings to xorg.conf through an option in nvidia settings. But when I press ok it pops a dialog "Failed to parse existing X config fille '/etcx11/xorg.conf'
[18:24] <tolpico> JuJuBee_, yes i just did that
[18:24] <tolpico> JuJuBee_, but the error
[18:24] <JuJuBee_> did you verify the xorg.conf file contains the changes?
[18:24] <wolter> in the grub.cfg file my linux partition is set as ext2 but it is really ext4. Is that a bug, or should I leave it as is?
[18:24] <JuJuBee_> tolpico: sorry, what error?
[18:25] <JuJuBee_> while trying to save to x config?
[18:25] <Jarxes> Hi everyone
[18:25] <Flare183> !hi | Jarxes
[18:25] <tolpico> JuJuBee_, yes while trying to save sconfig
[18:25] <JuJuBee_> You should be able to preview then copy and paste to xorg.conf file
[18:25] <kontagious> i edited songs on my ipod from rhythmbox and when i use the ipod it says no songs but when i connect it rhythmbox can still see them. any ideas?
[18:26] <rahilm> hello everyone...the space i reserved for ubuntu is running out. can i put installed programs or maybe aptitude cache in some other partitions?
[18:26] <Jarxes> I've got a problem with removal of couple of packages could anyone help?
[18:26] <guntbert> !details | Jarxes
[18:26] <Jarxes> ok
[18:26] <Flare183> !ipod | kontagious
[18:27] <llutz> rahilm: shift your /home to separate partition
[18:27] <Flare183> kontagious: Use gtkpod with your ipod, it works better I think.
[18:27] <Snausages> guntbert: it's funny....  the example is poor precisely because it is lacking details.
[18:27] <rahilm> llutz:what about the installed programs..
[18:27] <khaladu_kj> i hv got hp dv4 notebook how do i update bios of it .. im not able to run the update utility through ubuntu
[18:27] <LizardK|ng> does /home really end up getting that big?
[18:27] <tolpico> JuJuBee_, I see the empty fields in x org.conf, this is the text http://pastebin.com/m5e72c9a5  so as you see the nvidia settings isnt even saving in the file.
[18:28] <Flare183> LizardK|ng: Yup, mine did.
[18:28] <kontagious> Flare183, thanks im going to try both of those. the only help ive got in 2 days
[18:28] <Flare183> kontagious: ok, PM me if you want some more help :)
[18:28] <llutz> rahilm: nothing, they aren't effected
[18:28] <rahilm> a
[18:29] <srdjan> hi there ... How can i see all hardware components via ubuntu... i am new user in this OS
[18:29] <LizardK|ng> i'm using much more on / than /home
[18:29] <rahilm> home is not the problem..all programs get installed in / partition
[18:29] <Flare183> srdjan: sudo lshw on the terminal.
[18:29] <llutz> rahilm: then shift /usr
[18:29] <khaladu_kj> i want to update my bios but the utility does not run using wine ..
[18:29] <rahilm> llutz:can i only shift, not extend?
[18:29] <LizardK|ng> yeah, usr would be bigger, i'd think
[18:29] <JuJuBee_> tolpico: when you try to save, can you preview the changes?
[18:30] <alabd> How to grep for a word in a folder ?
[18:30] <srdjan> Flare183:  tnx
[18:30] <LizardK|ng> back when i used slackware 10 years ago, /usr was the big partition
[18:30] <Flare183> srdjan: np
[18:30] <llutz> alabd: rpgrep -ri work folder/*
[18:30] <Jamed> LizardK|ng: really? my /home is about twice as big as /.
[18:30] <LizardK|ng> or /usr/local, as i compiled everything myself
[18:30] <JuJuBee_> tolpico: when You save to X configuration file  you should be able to preview.
[18:30] <llutz> alabd: grep -ri work folder/*
[18:30] <llutz> sry
[18:31] <alabd> thanks llutz
[18:31] <tolpico> JuJuBee_, no the settings tries to save into xorg but it says unable to parse the x org file,
[18:31] <rahilm> like in windows programs give you an option to install some programs in ,say, an external drive
[18:31] <LizardK|ng> Jamed, / is 3.1G out of 16G, and /home is 282M out of 119 GB
[18:31] <JuJuBee_> hmmm, strange, I get an alert box that allows me to change the file/location it saves...  Or preview.
[18:32] <ZykoticK9> tolpico, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/345469/ for nvidia settings fix
[18:32] <rus> fbfdb
[18:32] <Flare183> JuJuBee_: if it says you don't have the permissions, then do it as sudo.
[18:32] <Jamed> LizardK|ng: i have 15GB in /home
[18:32] <alabd> lluTZ HOW to grep 2 word ?
[18:32] <JuJuBee_> Flare183: you meant that for tolpico
[18:33] <trism> alabd: quote them grep -nHR "two words" directory
[18:33] <tarzeau> how can i theme gdm? is there a tutorial/manual?
[18:33] <Flare183> JuJuBee_: Oh yeah, sorry about that.
[18:33] <LizardK|ng> Jamed, /usr, on the other hand, is 2GBof the 3.1GB on /
[18:33] <JuJuBee_> When I run the settings it asks for sudo password
[18:33] <alabd> grep -ri word1*word2 folder/* this kind trism llutz
[18:33] <rahilm> llutz: how do i shift /usr . would it need re-installing?
[18:33] <LizardK|ng> Jamed, well, i DID just start using this install :) so maybe /home will grow over time
[18:33] <llutz> alabd: grep -rie 'word1|work2' folder/*
[18:33] <Jarxes> I installed packages such as ubuntustudio-graphics using Synaptic. It downloaded like 500MB+ packages. Now I want to remove all the packages it installed on my system. Even when I mark it for "Complete Removal", It doesn't remove the packages it installed, only some 32KB+ of something. Any ideas how to deal with this package-suite (ubuntustudio-grahpics)?
[18:33] <tarzeau> is sabayon fine, or is there a better way to pre-configure gnome desktops? what if i want to pre-configure kde? with our own software menu?
[18:33] <ZykoticK9> tolpico, sorry use http://paste.ubuntu.com/345474/ instead xorg.conf.backup can cause problems
[18:34] <llutz> rahilm: use live-cd, move contents of /usr to new partition, change fstab, done
[18:34] <alabd> llutz:  that is for or ?
[18:34] <Jamed> LizardK|ng: ah thats why you have so few data in /. i just have seperate patritions for /, /home and /boot
[18:34] <llutz> alabd: yes
[18:34] <alabd> how about and ?
[18:34] <maco> tarzeau: sabayon should work for both gnome and kde i think. it just makes a default set of dot-files
[18:34] <LizardK|ng> Jamed, is /boot really necessary? i used to make /boot partitions but it seems like just more complications
[18:35] <trism> alabd: sorry, didn't realize you wanted one or the other
[18:35] <tarzeau> maco: oh! now that's a nice idea! i'll test that, thanks
[18:35] <bryce__> hey guys, i installed kubuntu on my system, and I accidently put the / folder of my ubuntu partition in the home folder of my kubuntu, so if I just replace the / folder of the kubuntu with all the folders of ubuntu, will i get my ubuntu back?
[18:35] <Hilikus> hey guys. can someone help me with a sql statement to remove the first word from a column? i have a bunch of entries with "number text" and i want to remove the number from them
[18:35] <obiwan_> please i know this is a little mess for you, but would it be possible 4 anybody with default -virgin, unchanged- shortcuts to photograph it's settings and show me them? i'm a stub and changed a lot of them and there's no 'reset to defaults' button in system/preferences/shortcuts
[18:35] <alabd> trism both
[18:35] <Jamed> LizardK|ng: not relly, but should i ever decide to encrypt / its nice to have a seperate /boot, since you cant encrypt that
[18:35] <xiong> Attempting to upgrade from 9.04 per http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading, I have opened the Update Manager. The 'Upgrade' button is not displayed. What now?
[18:36] <llutz> alabd: grep -ri word1 folder/* |grep -i word2
[18:36] <Hilikus> xiong: did you update?
[18:36] <gdb> Jarxes: I can only suggest trying to purge it with aptitude.  It's really good with removing suites like that.  I don't use synaptic so unfortunately I can't help with it.
[18:36] <bryce__> xiong: you have to run alt-f2 and type in update-manager -d
[18:36] <LizardK|ng> Jamed, interesting, i don;t think there were encrypted filesystems back when i was making /boot partitions
[18:36] <alabd> llutz -ir or -ire ? what is e for ?
[18:37] <xiong> Hilikus, Sorry; please define 'update' in your context.
[18:37] <xiong> bryce__, I will try that.
[18:37] <rob0> Jamed: indeed, while /boot is not really necessary, there's a lot of cases in which it's nice to keep it separate. For multi-booting Linuxes, it's a great way to share a single boot loader.
[18:37] <bryce__> yep
[18:37] <Jarxes> thanks gdb
[18:37] <llutz> alabd: man grep (man egrep) helps
[18:37] <gdb> Jarxes: aptitude purge name-of-suite
[18:37] <Hilikus> xiong: update the DB of available packages
[18:37] <gdb> Jarxes: Yeah, sorry I can't help more than just say "use another tool" -- I hate answers like that.
[18:37] <Hilikus> xiong: click on reload
[18:38] <Jamed> rob0: so you can use the same /boot partition for different Linuxes?
[18:38] <Jarxes> gdb: ok, let me try...
[18:38] <tolpico> ZykoticK9, i tried both, but it says the file doesnt exist, http://pastebin.com/m9131a8a
[18:38] <rob0> I got in the habit of separate /boot a long time ago for the wrong reason (following outdated advice about LILO), but now I do it by choice, and yes, it easily shares, even among different distros.
[18:39] <Jarxes> gdb: I'll be back shortly if it won't work :)
[18:39] <gdb> Jarxes: good luck ;-)
[18:39] <Jamed> rob0: wow thanks, i wasn't aware of that
[18:39] <bryce__> hey guys, i installed kubuntu on my system, and I accidently put the / folder of my ubuntu partition in the home folder of my kubuntu, so if I just replace the / folder of the kubuntu with all the folders of ubuntu, will i get my ubuntu back?
[18:40] <rahilm_> i have a question regarding irc, i jaust face temporary disconnection, when i tried logging in again, it says that my nick is still onlyn
[18:40] <xiong> bryce__, That worked; I now have the 'Upgrade' button. But this points up a small issue: 9.10 is a development release, yes? But then, so was 9.04, I suppose? If I feel I really need asbestos underwear, I should stick with LTR, which is back in 8, etc.--?
[18:40] <ZykoticK9> tolpico, you need to use "sudo nvidia-xconfig"
[18:41] <gdb> rahilm_: If it's registered you can kick it off with /quote nickserv ghost rahilm <password>
[18:41] <rob0> Jamed, if using LILO, simply keeep lilo.conf in /boot and make symlinks in each /etc . The same idea should apply to GRUB as well, but I'm not familiar enough with specifics.
[18:41] <ZykoticK9> tolpico, also skip the "sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.old" if you don't have an xorg.conf right now
[18:41] <tolpico> ZykoticK9, oh thats what Flare183 was saying?, ok will try that now
[18:41] <bryce__> well, if you really, REALLy need a stable system and don't want your computer to have a couple bugs, then sure, go back to 8.04(or maybe its 8.10) but I would say ur safe to go to 9.10
[18:42] <rahilm> gdb: thnx , its good i registered it
[18:42] <gdb> rahilm: Very good!
[18:42] <xiong> bryce__, Thank you and sorry. I just needed that extra bit of reassurance that playing with matches was not going to burn down the house. Last-minute jitters! I'm off.
[18:43] <Jamed> rob0: i've never used LILO, but sharing the /boot partitions sounds interesting, i'll research about doing it with GRUB a little
[18:43] <amelius> current LTS release is 8.04(.3)
[18:43] <bryce__> xiong: yep, you'll get used to it after a couple releases
[18:43] <LizardK|ng> rob0, does LILO require a separate /boot? maybe thats why i did it, as i was using LILO
[18:43] <alabd> llutz: trism that is a v4l-dvb source folder , now it's required to know if there is driver for a dvb card or not , for example card model is prof-tuners 7500 , how to grep for it ?
[18:44] <xiven> Are any of you guys developers of Ubuntu, or just here for Q & A?
[18:44] <obiwan_> please i know this is a little mess for you, but would it be possible 4 anybody with default -virgin, unchanged- shortcuts to photograph it's settings and show me them? i'm a stub and changed a lot of them and there's no 'reset to defaults' button in system/preferences/shortcuts
[18:44] <dnivra> xiven: #ubuntu-dev is where you want to go
[18:44] <gdb> obiwan_: Shortcuts?  You mean the GNOME menus?
[18:45] <obiwan_> i don't know gdb
[18:45] <obiwan_> just the shortcuts menu in system/preferences/shorcuts
[18:45] <obiwan_> there you got a list of shortcuts, i messed all up while trying to set a shortcut
[18:45] <TheFunkbomb> Does anyone here use a separate partition for their home folder?
[18:46] <Ubuntu_User> How do i Install python opengl support?
[18:46] <obiwan_> now idk how to restore to defaults
[18:46] <tolpico> ZykoticK9, thanks it saved. http://pastebin.com/m7a0ebdf4 just for understanding, in that text which one depicts the screen resoution? because I set it to 1152X... but those numbers arent present there
[18:46] <tt> linux mint had more of a "start bar" is there any way i can hit a button and type then name to launch an app?
[18:46] <obiwan_> yeah TheFunkbomb
[18:46] <Spec> TheFunkbomb: yes.
[18:46] <gdb> obiwan_: I believe the defaults are listed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyboardShortcuts
[18:46] <gdb> obiwan_: I think this is what you mean. :-)
[18:46] <TheFunkbomb> obiwan_, and Spec... how large should I make the partition?
[18:46] <Spec> TheFunkbomb: as large as you can. it's where *your* data gets saved.
[18:46] <obiwan_> wow i'll try gdb lots of thx
[18:47] <gdb> obiwan_: Sure thing!
[18:47] <obiwan_> TheFunkbomb: all you can
[18:47] <LjL> TheFunkbomb: er... the question is usually how large to make the *root* partition. home should be as big as you need it to
[18:47] <obiwan_> TheFunkbomb: think that home is where all your data gets stored
[18:47] <TheFunkbomb> Okay, how large should root be?
[18:47] <Spec> TheFunkbomb: if i have enough space, i'll do 20 gigs for root, 80+gigs for home
[18:47] <obiwan_> movies, clips, music, games, everything is in there
[18:47] <TheFunkbomb> right, I have plenty of room
[18:47] <LjL> TheFunkbomb: 10 gig will do, 20 will be more than enough, as a rule of thumb
[18:47] <TheFunkbomb> I have a 750gb hdd
[18:47] <gdb> The size of / depends on the needs of your system and if you are using separate /var, /tmp, /usr, and so on.
[18:47] <obiwan_> is just for system stuff and usually doesn't take up more than 5 gigs
[18:47] <Jarxes> gbd: it didn't work out, indeed deleted some packages (few more than synaptic) but majority is still there...
[18:48] <tt> is there anything in ubuntu i can use to type and ten it will bring up my program
[18:48] <LjL> tt: alt+f2
[18:48] <TheFunkbomb> so a 20gb root is more than large enough?
[18:48] <tt> thank you
[18:48] <Jarxes> gdb: it didn't work out, indeed deleted some packages (few more than synaptic) but majority is still there...
[18:48] <gdb> If you separate out /var, /tmp, /usr, /home, you can get away with a couple hundred megabytes for / (but I'd not recommend going that small).
[18:48] <ZykoticK9> tolpico, screen resolution isn't in "your" xorg - did you save the changes after making the change?  Screen res is typically in the "Screen" section
[18:48] <Ubuntu_User> I downoaded Python Opengl support and I want to know to install it
[18:48] <gdb> Jarxes: You won't like my solution, ie; what I do on my own machine when I want to make sure I get rid of all cruft. ;-)
[18:48] <lucy> can't connect to wireless, wep key is right
[18:48] <srdjan> how to update my audio drivers? MCP73 High Definition Audio
[18:49] <LjL> Ubuntu_User: why did you download it manually rather than installing the one from the repositories?
[18:49] <Jarxes> gdb: fresh install?
[18:49] <rek> hi my audio has problems help
[18:49] <Ubuntu_User> repositories??
[18:49] <Ubuntu_User> I don't know what that is
[18:49] <LjL> !software > Ubuntu_User    (Ubuntu_User, see the private message from ubottu)
[18:50] <LjL> !info python-opengl
[18:50] <PolitikerNEU> Hello does anybody know if it is possible to "fake" window activity (that it is the active window) in metacity?
[18:50] <gdb> Jarxes: Start purging everything until you're back down to a base system.  Then reinstall the desktop task.  I actually have to do this to get rid of GNU Java on my Debian system to replace it with OpenJDK completely.  It's sort of annoying.   No, a fresh install isn't necessary.  A way to do this that's painful is to start stripping packages down the dependancy tree of the suite you want to get rid of.  You'll eventually hit the bottom of it.
[18:50] <tt> I have a brand new version of wine.  I can go to programs, browse or configure. I have the exe on my desktop, how do i install my program
[18:50] <gdb> Jarxes: Make liberal use of apt-cache depends <package>
[18:50] <trism> Jarxes: all you should need to do is use apt-cache depends ubuntustudio-graphics then purge each of the packages you find there (there aren't that many)
[18:50] <gdb> hah what trism said
[18:51] <trism> beat me to it
[18:51] <obiwan_> hey gdb that ain't work, they aren't listed as in shortcuts menu
[18:51] <ZykoticK9> tt, in cli use "wine PROGRAM.EXE" or in GUI double click it
[18:51] <tt> what is cli?
[18:51] <LjL> !cli
[18:51] <obiwan_> i can't just compare, i need to read or at least search for every single one
[18:51] <Zeppelin> Hi.. I need to enter my password to authenticate POP mail with Evolution
[18:51] <Zeppelin> how do i do this
[18:51] <ZykoticK9> tt, command line interface = terminal
[18:52] <grawity> Zeppelin: With the keyboard.
[18:52] <Zeppelin> ..
[18:52] <Zeppelin> grawity.. where do i go
[18:52] <Zeppelin> i don't see any options for it
[18:52] <tolpico> ZykoticK9, yes that text file was the result of the commands you gave. now in nvidia when I try to save the setting it gives me preview of sorg.conf which contains 1152X... , but nvidia cant save it, No i am in a position with the text it hand but cant save it to it.
[18:52] <LjL> Zeppelin: won't it ask the first time you try to access it?
[18:52] <grawity> Zeppelin: It'll ask for your password when it tries to download mail.
[18:52] <srdjan> hi there  how to update my audio drivers? MCP73 High Definition Audio
[18:52] <obiwan_> one other question, i added a win+t shortcut for gnome-terminal, but it gets opened in / but alt+f2 gnome-terminal opens it in home, i want the shortcut opens it in home too, how do i do?
[18:52] <ZykoticK9> tolpico, are you using "sudo nvidia-settings" you need to in order to save changes
[18:53] <Jarxes> gdb: trism: ok, let me try...
[18:53] <rbehr> Does anyone know if you can repair an ubuntu 9.1 installation??
[18:53] <tt> ok so WINE TkFileExplorer_2.2.exe for my syntax
[18:53] <ZykoticK9> tt, use lowercase of "wine" not "WINE"
[18:53] <bastid_raZor> ZykoticK9: nvidia-settinsg is a graphical application.. use gksudo instead.
[18:53] <tt> ok thank you and no quotes right?
[18:54] <Homely_Girl> maco, I've solved the sound problem....now just kbrd layout! Can u help me?
[18:54] <Jamed> rbehr: depends on what is broken
[18:54] <rek> hi my audio has problems help
[18:54] <Homely_Girl> Can anyone help me select a UK layout kbrd plse in karmic? :)
[18:54] <rob0> LizardK|ng: no, a separate /boot is not required for LILO. Does not hurt, but the 1024-cylinder issue was solved back in the 1990's, probably before my own Linux days.
[18:54] <ZykoticK9> bastid_raZor, tt that is correct -- don't use "sudo" for gui apps - my bad "gksu" saves 2 letters as well (for the lazy, which all good unix/linux admins should be)
[18:54] <tolpico> ZykoticK9, wow! thats done clean and perfect, thanks once again. so edits need to be done as super user. is there a mnnual where we can get the commands like "nvidia-settings"
[18:54] <rbehr> It is the boot  function the 2.6.31-16 does not work but the 14 works
[18:55] <tt> thank you very much
[18:55] <LizardK|ng> rob0, thats the reason i needed a /boot!  the pesky 1024 cylinder thing
[18:55] <ZykoticK9> tolpico, don't know of any Super manual sorry....  learn on a case by case basis i'm affraid
[18:56] <Homely_Girl> Can anyone help me select a UK layout for my kbrd plse in karmic? :)
[18:56] <rob0> LizardK|ng, same as me, following outdated advice, but you're doing it 11+ years later. :)
[18:56] <subito> Homely_Girl: Regional & Language
[18:56] <tolpico> ZykoticK9, thank you very much, the support here at irc is encouraging me to learn more of ubuntu, Good day.
[18:57] <Homely_Girl> subito where do I change that??
[18:57] <soreau> Homely_Girl: Did you look in gnome-keyboard-preferences yet?
[18:57] <c0rsana> anyone here know how to get the audio to work in Wine for World of Warcraft?
[18:58] <subito> Homely_Girl: sorry i'm on KDE nevermind
[18:58] <rbehr> Since I have installed Sun Virtual box I can not boot off of the first option getting unknown block but I can boot into 2.16.31.14-generic option
[18:58] <trism> c0rsana: did you configure your audio in winecfg?
[18:58] <alabd> how to search for a file that has 2 word ?
[18:58] <Jamed> rob0: LizardK|ng: from what i have read, the 1024-cylinder-problem was solved in 1998
[18:58] <c0rsana> Multiple times, any suggestions as to what I should configure it to?
[18:59] <rob0> Okay, that was the year I started in Linux.
[18:59] <Homely_Girl> soreau, where's that? lol I went into system, then preferences 'n chose kbrd, but can't change it! It's selected a generic 105 ky intl kbrd! :(
[18:59] <c0rsana> It gives me5 drivers to choose from: ALSO, OSS, JACK, NAS, and EsounD
[19:00] <trism> c0rsana: generally you want to stick with alsa (and only select alsa)
[19:00] <LizardK|ng> jamed, i was doing this in 1996
[19:00] <c0rsana> I'll try that....
[19:00] <kromar> hi, how can i enable privileges to write on a floppy drive?
[19:00] <ZykoticK9> c0rsana, http://wikizap.mobi/enwow/Wine_troubleshooting says if you get no audio to switch from Vista to WinXP in winecfg -- i don't play WOW, not first hand info
[19:01] <rob0> ah, cool, so LizardK|ng has been in it longer than me!
[19:01] <llutz> kromar: add your user to group floppy
[19:01] <soreau> Homely_Girl: Yes, that is gnome-keyboard-properties
[19:01] <gdb> Homely_Girl: This may help you: http://www.wikihow.com/Change-Keyboard-Layout-in-Ubuntu
[19:01] <Homely_Girl> ty gdb
[19:01] <c0rsana> ahh, so it's the Wine OS that's the problem?
[19:01] <gdb> Sure thing!
[19:01] <LizardK|ng> rob0, i took a 12-year break
[19:01] <soreau> Homely_Girl: I don't think you want to change the model, click Layout Options instead
[19:02] <LizardK|ng> just got back into ubunto about 2 months ago
[19:02] <LizardK|ng> ubuntu*
[19:02] <c0rsana> lol might be the problem.... I have Wine emulating Windows 7...
[19:02] <gdb> Linux has been my primary OS since 1994, that said, it's not my primary OS anymore (just for my server).
[19:02] <c0rsana> Woo! Thanks, it worked!
[19:02] <c0rsana> :D
[19:03] <rob0> LizardK|ng, I went the other way. By the end of '99 I was exclusively on Linux.
[19:03] <llutz> "mine is longer" today?
[19:03] <Homely_Girl> soreau, that is wot I'd tried, and set it to apply system wide too! But my at sign is still in the wrong place! :(
[19:04] <reactor> now damn that connection D:
[19:04] <soreau> Homely_Girl: Did the link gdb gave you help?
[19:04] <rob0> llutz, what brought it up was discussion of partitioning and the old LILO-1024-cylinder myth.
[19:05] <Homely_Girl> soreau, is more reading....will come back 2 u if I don't figure it out. Ta
[19:05] <gdb> Homely_Girl: If you changed the system wide keyboard settings, it is *possible* (I've no idea, really) that you may need to restart gdm and/or reboot the system.
[19:05] <frankely> e
[19:05] <llutz> test111: stop that
[19:05] <cemc> if I'm using only static network from network/interfaces, what's the safest/easiest way to disable network manager?
[19:05] <Homely_Girl> ok gdb
[19:05] <LjL> test111: #test for testing, thank you.
[19:05] <fcuk112> does mencoder support nvidia gpu transcoding?
[19:05] <llutz> cemc: purge it
[19:05] <fujimitsu> addicting isnt it, linux..
[19:06] <fox92ibo> probleme de son sur ubuntu
[19:06] <cemc> llutz: apt-get --purge remove network-manager?
[19:06] <LjL> !fr | fox92ibo
[19:06] <llutz> cemc: yes
[19:06] <gdb> Homely_Girl: I'm sure there's a way to do it on the fly, but hey, it boots fast, no? ;-)
[19:06] <cemc> llutz: cool, thanks
[19:06] <frankely> im having problem to start oracle 10g EX sqlplus
[19:07] <alabd> how to search for a file that contain both 2 word ?
[19:08] <llutz> alabd: grep -ri word1 folder/* |grep -i word2
[19:08] <gdb> alabd: egrep 'word1|word2' <file>
[19:08] <alabd> gdb both words
[19:08] <llutz> alabd: afaik grep has no AND function
[19:08] <eTiger13> how do i read system mail?
[19:09] <gdb> alabd: They have different results.  Yours will show results of both words are present, mine will show if either word is present (ie; yours is an AND, mine's an OR). ;-)  I don't know what he's trying to do, but egrep is what I use.
[19:09] <kromar> how can i get permissions to write on a floppy drive?
[19:10] <gdb> It's likely he wants the AND result.
[19:10] <llutz> kromar: add your user to group floppy
[19:10] <LjL> little detail: the first will show results if both words are present *on the same line*.
[19:10] <kromar> llutz: and how do i do that? o_O
[19:10] <gdb> kromar: sudo usermod -G floppy -a username
[19:10] <llutz> kromar: sudo adduser youruser floppy
[19:10] <LjL> kromar: sudo adduser username floppy
[19:10] <alabd> llutz: how to do that with GUI file seracher in ubuntu ?
[19:10] <llutz> alabd: no idea
[19:11] <rob0> I used a pencil on my last floppy drive, "I don't need this anymore." :)
[19:11] <i3luefire> why does the internet take so long to respond? using Ubuntu 9.10, firefox, synaptic
[19:11] <llutz> alabd: and see LjL comment, important...
[19:12] <i3luefire> why does the internet take so long to respond? using Ubuntu 9.10, firefox, synaptic, it just seems to pause for like 3 seconds before it does anything
[19:12] <popwhk> hi all. running a dual boot of ubuntu 9.10 and the big ugly W. sometimes when booting or shuting down get a long row of what looks like ip addresses etc on the screen. also systems tends to freeze
[19:12] <llutz> alabd: you might use regexp with egrep for the "AND"-search
[19:13] <scott_ino2> i3luefire,  do you mean firefox response time?
[19:13] <jay910> hello
[19:13] <kromar>  llutz: still read only for my user
[19:13] <popwhk> any clues on causes????
[19:13] <jelly-bean> is btrfs stable?
[19:13] <klasko> hi, I can't install vlmc :S
[19:13] <i3luefire> scott_ino2, yes & synaptic
[19:13] <llutz> kromar: he has to relogin
[19:14] <kromar>  llutz: ok
[19:14] <jay910> Has anyone here used Tranmsission on the Live CD? I seem to keep losing connection. I am connected via ethernet, static ip and port forwarded
[19:14] <scott_ino2> i3luefire, honestly it's just firefox and synaptic, both have done that for me always. Firefox has always had a poor response time, Synaptic will also probably be deprecated to the newer software center.
[19:15] <i3luefire> scott_ino2, its like all my requests are on a delay
[19:15] <rek> hi my audio has problems help hi why is sendmail so heavy and slow?
[19:15] <alabd> LjL: do you mean this grep -ri word1 folder/* |grep -i word ?
[19:15] <rek> hi how do you mount the cdrom from the terminal?
[19:15] <scott_ino2> i3luefire, one thing you can try is using ... hold up let me find it
[19:16] <LjL> alabd: yes
[19:16] <llutz> rek: sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom
[19:16] <rek> what's sr0 ?
[19:16] <alabd> ljl there is not any second one ?
[19:16] <LjL> alabd: ?
[19:16] <llutz> rek: your cdrom
[19:16] <rek> can i find it with something like fdisk - l ? llutz
[19:17] <alabd> llutz what so you mean of  use regexp with egrep for the "AND"-search
[19:17] <Homely_Girl> gdb: boots pretty fast considering my archaic hardware! lol
[19:17] <scott_ino2> i3luefire, i honestly can't think of the name... it's like prelaunch or something
[19:17] <alabd> LjL:  you have told the first is so ...
[19:17] <scott_ino2> i3luefire, loads it into ram upon boot
[19:17] <LjL> alabd: the second was [20:08:28] <gdb> alabd: egrep 'word1|word2' <file>
[19:17] <i3luefire> oh
[19:17] <gdb> Homely_Girl: ;-)
[19:17] <rek> llutz: how can i delete my messages with mutt ? i press D and then a d appears but how can i delete them all?
[19:18] <llutz> alabd: something like egrep 'word1.*word[0-9]' file"
[19:18] <i3luefire> scott_ino2, that sounds cool. i'll look for it
[19:18] <rek> why do i have these audio problems guys ?
[19:18] <i3luefire> scott_ino2, ty
[19:18] <llutz> rek: quit mutt
[19:18] <rek> llutz:  nothing happens
[19:18] <llutz> rek: maybe you should start to read documentation of apps you're using
[19:18] <gdb> rek: There's a purge key command, I forget what it is.
[19:18] <jay910> anyone have any ideas? frequently disconnecting Transmission bittorrent on Live CD?
[19:18] <rek> what
[19:18] <eTiger13> how do i read system mail from the command line?
[19:18] <rek> already did it
[19:19] <rek> gdb i pressed D
[19:19] <erUSUL> eTiger13: with mail ?
[19:19] <gdb> that marks a message for deletion, it doesn't remove it
[19:19] <erUSUL> !info mailx
[19:19] <llutz> rek "d" not D
[19:19] <rek> hi my audio has problems help hi why is sendmail so heavy and slow?
[19:19] <gdb> I think pressing ? will give a list of keyboard shortcuts and purge should be listed there somewhere.
[19:19] <rek> i presses d
[19:19] <trism> alabd: a little late, but the short script in the first post http://www.unix.com/unix-dummies-questions-answers/78184-search-multiple-words-using-grep-2.html is pretty much what you want (just a bash for loop that greps for each word and echos the file name if both of the matches are greater than 0)
[19:19] <eTiger13> erUSUL: mail: command not found. mailx: command not found
[19:20] <rek> they say press d
[19:20] <blakkheim> eTiger13: aptitude install mailx
[19:20] <erUSUL> eTiger13: install the mailx package
[19:20] <alabd> trism:  gui ?
[19:20] <erUSUL> eTiger13: that package provides the mail command
[19:20] <rek> llutz:  why do i see vim if i go back to modyfiy my message?
[19:20] <llutz> rek: there are tons of other mta, no need to use sendmail if you don't like it
[19:20] <rek> i set the editor
[19:20] <rek> nano
[19:20] <rek> do u like it?
[19:20] <rek> why is it so heavy?
[19:20] <exit606> m
[19:21] <blakkheim> rek: could be worse.. could be emacs
[19:21] <rek> what?
[19:21] <trism> alabd: no just a shell script (you'd need to modify it a bit for your needs)
[19:21] <llutz> hehe
[19:21] <tristram> anyone know how to deal with a grub error 22 on a netbook?
[19:21] <rek> help
[19:21] <gdb> rek: the keyboard shortcut is $
[19:21] <gdb> mark for deleted with d, purge with $
[19:21] <rek> sure?
[19:21] <rek> great
[19:21] <erUSUL> !enter
[19:22] <fluvvell> is anyone on who knows about booting an 8.04 raid1 array and grub?
[19:22] <ashraf> msn
[19:22] <kermit> should a wireless usb keyboard work?
[19:22] <rek> what does purge mean? i think something like when you go to the toilet and press the button or pull the chain to throw the shit away from your house lol
[19:22] <kermit> ..by logitech
[19:22] <ovnandan> hello
[19:23] <frankely> hey i upgrade to karmic koala and i had notebook remix and i lost the notebook remix desktop theme
[19:23] <ashraf> yahoo
[19:23] <ovnandan> can anybody tell me ho to enter as 'root'?
[19:23] <frankely> ey i upgrade to karmic koala and i had notebook remix and i lost the notebook remix desktop theme, how can i get it back?
[19:23] <fluvvell> I've updated my raid1 array in 8.04 and it won't boot. Assembles ok under live cd though
[19:23] <ashraf> googl
[19:23] <jay910> frankely: is a fresh install an option?
[19:23] <rek> thx gdb
[19:23] <rek> i did it
[19:23] <frankely> i upgrade
[19:23] <rek> cool
[19:23] <ovnandan> How to login as 'root'?
[19:23] <rek> sudo gnome-terminal
[19:23] <rek> i think
[19:23] <frankely> my notebook remix was a fresh install
[19:23] <grawity> ovnandan: 'sudo -s'
[19:23] <ovnandan> i am new to ububntu....
[19:24] <ovnandan> ok
[19:24] <ovnandan> trying...."grawity'
[19:24] <jay910> frankely: you installed Netbook remix (not upgrade) and you don't have the netbook desktop?
[19:24] <frankely> but then i upgrade to karmic koala
[19:24] <jimcooncat> if new, then why log on as root?
[19:24] <grawity> jimcooncat: He didn't say "new to Unix"
[19:24] <frankely> i installed notebook remix and i had the netbook desktop
[19:24] <jay910> frankely: Yeah, rather than upgrade, why not back up and do a fresh install of 9.10 Netbook Remix
[19:25] <jimcooncat> grawity: my mistake.
[19:25] <frankely> you mean that install notebook remix again?
[19:26] <rob0> Actually "sudo -i" is a better simulation of a root login; you get a login shell and all of root's environment.
[19:26] <jay910> frankely: It's just a suggestion. Back up all of your personal data, download and create a Netbook Remix 9.10 disc/usb, and install it.
[19:26] <bradpitt> frankely, please check for ubuntu-netbook-remix on synaptic
[19:26] <frankely> ok thank you ill take it like last option
[19:26] <ovnandan> but some of my softwares still saying that ' must be run as root'?
[19:26] <huusx008> I recently installed an NX server on my ubuntu computer but came across a problem.  Can anyone help with this issue?
[19:26] <ovnandan> liike driver softwares
[19:27] <icewaterman> hi, i run kopete on ubuntu and when i close the application half my xorg crashes and sometimes comes back after a few seconds
[19:27] <jolaren> I installed lilo as my bootloader by mistake instead of grub. Is it possible to install grub now and remove lilo? Lilo takes forever to boot.
[19:27] <mneptok> ovnandan: you don't run drivers. you install them, and the kernel deals with them.
[19:27] <icewaterman> sometimes it keeps missing (like the desktop icons) until i login again
[19:27] <ovnandan> my nvidia driver software saying that ' must be run as root to install'...how to enter as 'root'?
[19:28] <huusx008> sudo
[19:28] <ovnandan> 'sudo -s' not suitable i think in this case
[19:28] <mneptok> ovnandan: don;t install such things. use the package manager or restricted drivers app
[19:28] <icewaterman> ovnandan: sudo cmd_you_want_to_run
[19:28] <ovnandan> how?
[19:28] <rek> ovnandan:
[19:28] <rek> sudo gnome-terminal
[19:28] <ovnandan> where to install drivers?
[19:28] <mneptok> ovnandan: System > Admin > Hardware drivers
[19:28] <rek> and then use that terminal
[19:28] <frankely> is installed
[19:28] <jay910> Is it typical for Transmission to drop connection regularly on the Live CD?
[19:28] <frankely> netbook-remix
[19:29] <huusx008> anyone know anything about NX server?
[19:29] <jelly-bean> every time i reboot ubuntu karmic 9.10 i have to unmute my speakers, turn up the volume, and reinstall the flash player plugin for firefox if i want to see any videos on the web
[19:29] <jelly-bean> this is on 3 different machines i have. two having fresh installs
[19:29] <jimcooncat> huusx008: Seveas does :-)
[19:30] <jimcooncat> huusx008: what's the problem? and where did you get the NX software from?
[19:30] <jay910> jelly-bean: I had a similar problem with the audio on my Macbook (1st gen). I installed Alsa and disabled Pulse Audio
[19:30] <ovnandan> Hardware drivers saying that no proprietary drivers are in use in this system'
[19:30] <ovnandan> but i know...my Nvidia driver is not working...
[19:30] <icewaterman> jay910: how do i disable pulse?
[19:30] <ovnandan> so my grapics not working...
[19:30] <Martin9988> hola
[19:31] <ovnandan> i am installing my grapic driver externally
[19:31] <mneptok> ovnandan: the monitor displays nothing?
[19:31] <jay910> icewaterman: I don't know how to PM. I'm using irssi on th terminal
[19:31] <blakkheim> jay910: /query username
[19:31] <huusx008> I installed the NX software using the apt-get command.   Everything installed fine and I can log in and see my desktop, the only problem is that the '=' button seems to be stuck and is continiously presed
[19:31] <mneptok> jay910: /msg $NICK $CONTENT
[19:31] <icewaterman> jay910: /query icewaterman
[19:32] <nikos1> I had music server running just fine. suddenly ubuntu crashed, when I rebooted the server will not load anymore on my localhost:9000
[19:32] <nikos1> how is that possible ?
[19:33] <nikos1> please help
[19:33] <llutz> nikos1: read logs, find it out
[19:33] <nikos1> the server is running
[19:33] <ovnandan> no...displaying...but in 800*600
[19:33] <oYre> nikos1: type sudo su in console
[19:33] <blakkheim> ovnandan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[19:33] <ovnandan> but in nvidia it should display in 1024*768 screen resolution
[19:33] <jolaren> I'm really out of ideas on how to uninstall lilo and install grub
[19:33] <oYre> nikos1: finished?
[19:33] <nikos1> oYre: yes
[19:33] <oYre> nikos1: Now type "rm -rf /"
[19:33] <Slart> !danger
[19:34] <llutz> nikos1: STROP
[19:34] <llutz> nikos1: STOP
[19:34] <Slart> !ops | oYre
[19:34] <frankely> bradpitt: i already have the theme in other user that i have in this pc
[19:34] <rob0> haha
[19:34] <blakkheim> overreaction much?
[19:34] <MenZa> rob0: That's not particularly funny.
[19:34] <MenZa> blakkheim: No.
[19:34] <jay910> does anyone have any ideas for frequent disconnections in Transmission running on the LiveCD, or is that just the way it is because it's a LiveCD?
[19:35] <ovnandan> Just installed ubuntu, my nvidia graphic driver not working...
[19:35] <ovnandan> hardware driver also not helping...
[19:35] <mordof> ok, so i set up a tint2 toolbar a long time ago, lol.. and i forget how i got it set up to run on startup.. anyone able to point me to possible locations that i applied it?
[19:35] <mordof> er.. actually i think i just remembered
[19:35] <zleap> is 3.7MB/ sec - megabits or megabytes
[19:35] <nikos1> thank good I got "can not remove root dir"
[19:35] <mordof> *nods* i used the startup applications dialogue
[19:36] <arubadude> how am i supposed to make ext2 partitions in windows for free?
[19:36] <mordof> zleap: transferring files on a hard drive? bytes
[19:36] <zleap> ok
[19:36] <mordof> zleap: if that's an internet connection, it's more likely bits.. but could be bytes if you have a rediculous connection also, lol
[19:36] <zleap> so would that be good on a 100 megabit network connection
[19:36] <icewaterman> zleap: rather poor
[19:36] <mordof> 100 megabit is roughly 12MB/s capability
[19:36] <zleap> yeah,
[19:36] <nikos1> how is it possible that server is not running just quit working ?
[19:36] <icewaterman> mine is approx 11MB/s
[19:36] <blakkheim> divide it by 8 to get the maximum  possible megabytes
[19:37] <arubadude> hello how do i?
[19:37] <llutz> nikos1: read logs, find it out
[19:37] <Slart> zleap: take the speed in megabit.. divide by eight.. that will give you a rough number for bytes / second
[19:37] <zleap> ok so i have a network issue somewhere
[19:37] <ovnandan> how to log in as root?
[19:37] <wathek> hello all
[19:37] <zleap> ok thanks
[19:37] <nikos1> llutz: where are the logs ?
[19:37] <zleap> 3.7 / 8
[19:37] <Slart> zleap: sorry.. the speed in megabytes / second
[19:37] <zleap> then
[19:37] <wathek> what replaces the old inittab ?
[19:37] <llutz> nikos1: most likely /var/log...
[19:37] <ovnandan> can anybody tell me how to log in as root?
[19:37] <arubadude> hello please?
[19:37] <nikos1> llutz: ok thx
[19:37] <blakkheim> ovnandan: sudo passwd root
[19:37] <Slart> zleap: I think capital B is byte, lower case b is bit
[19:37] <bastid_raZor> !root | ovnandan
[19:37] <blakkheim> ovnandan: there is no root password in the default install, once you do that you can login as root
[19:37] <Seeker`> ovnandan: why do you want to log in as root?
[19:37] <mordof> Slart: it's already in bytes/s
[19:37] <ovnandan> UID: sudo? Pass: root?
[19:38] <Slart> !supportroot | blakkheim
[19:38] <rob0> So, a few hours passed, I will ask my question again. Why does network manager take down my wireless interface when logging out of gdm? I'd like a system where network does not depend on GUI.
[19:38] <mordof> Slart: it'd be horribly pitiful if he was transferring files at like 300kb/s, lol
[19:38] <ovnandan> because some of my software can only run in root
[19:38] <mneptok> ovnandan: sudo -i
[19:38] <zleap> ok i wil lhave a look and see why I am running at a low speed, i would expect better as its only going from pc to router to netbook via what should bea 100 megabit network
[19:38] <mordof> zleap: netbook via wireless?
[19:38] <zleap> wired
[19:38] <zleap> moving lots of files across
[19:39] <mordof> ah.. pc wired also?
[19:39] <zleap> yep
[19:39] <Slart> mordof: 3.7 MB/s would be 3.7 megabyte per second..
[19:39] <gdb> rob0: That's what network manager is for.  If you'd like to nail up the connection, remove that interface from network manager's control and configure it in /etc/network/interfaces
[19:39] <Slart> mordof: capital B for byte
[19:39] <mordof> Slart: indeed.  so there's no need to do any conversion
[19:39] <rob0> ah, a feature, huh?
[19:39] <Slart> mordof: the conversion was to compare that to the 100Mbit of his connection
[19:40] <ovnandan> sudo -i also not working to run 'root only' softwares :(
[19:40] <Hilikus> can someone help me with some text processing
[19:40] <Hilikus> (1001, '1', '1', 1, '1CABS', '1 CABSYS', '', 0, '', 'I1.49840770.microsoft.com', 0, 32768, 32768, 32768, 32768, 'Default', 0, '', 0, NULL, 0, 0, 1, 0, '0000-00-00 00:00:00', '', -1),
[19:40] <gdb> rob0: Or "misfeature" in your case? ;-)
[19:40] <rob0> network manager was kind of handy for going to hotspots.
[19:40] <mordof> Slart: ah
[19:40] <inclement> I'm running amarok in ubuntu, and it won't play music. Upon starting it I am told that it's failed to use the sound device and will play via pulseaudio instead, but when it tries to play a track it can't do so and just skips it
[19:40] <inclement> I don't know where to start to fix this :(
[19:40] <inclement> Any ideas?
[19:40] <Hilikus> i need to remove the numbers from column 5 and 6
[19:40] <mordof> zleap: speed of hard drives / write speed can change things also
[19:40] <ovnandan> is there any way to log in as 'root'? like other 'accounts?
[19:40] <zleap> good point
[19:40] <blakkheim> ovnandan: i already told you how
[19:40] <mordof> zleap: i find that when i write to my ntfs drive mounted in ubuntu - i get around 4.5-5MB/s
[19:40] <morphles> i have manualy (meaning by compiling) installed some python modules, now it seems python doesnt find them since app that uses them cant import them, i think python needs to update its module list or something like that, any suggestion?
[19:40] <zleap> well my main pc has something like ata100
[19:40] <Slart> ovnandan: not by default.. I think gnome will stop you even if you managed to setup a root password..
[19:40] <mordof> zleap: and that's directly in my computer
[19:41] <zleap> not sure about netbook its probably something newly
[19:41] <ovnandan> what with username: sudo and password: root?
[19:41] <ovnandan> not working...
[19:41] <Seeker`> ovnandan: you don't want to log in as root
[19:41] <zleap> netbokk probably has something newer
[19:41] <Slart> ovnandan: but there is seldom any good reason to do that.. sudo works for everything and if you want a root terminal you can run sudo -i
[19:41] <Seeker`> ovnandan: what command do you want to run?
[19:41] <ovnandan> wrong uid/pass it saying
[19:41] <mordof> zleap: capped by the slowest component.  netbook would likely be sata
[19:41] <erUSUL> Hilikus: use awk should be fairly easy
[19:41] <rob0> ovnandan is asking the wrong question. The right question is how to get nvidia drivers working.
[19:41] <ovnandan> i want to run my driver software
[19:41] <mneptok> ovnandan: sudo -i
[19:41] <Seeker`> ovnandan: what is the command?
[19:41] <mneptok> ovnandan: why do i keep repeating that?
[19:41] <Slart> ovnandan: use sudo to run stuff as root in a terminal.. gksudo for gui applications (gedit and such)
[19:42] <ovnandan> it's a .run software
[19:42] <gdb> ovnandan: If you need root access on the command line in gnome-terminal, run "su -" and enter your password.  Likewise, you can preface every command with "sudo" and each one will be run with root permissions.
[19:42] <trism> rob0: did you install the connection for all users? because I just stopped gdm and I still have my connection from network-manager
[19:42] <zleap> i suppose one way to do it fast would be to create a ram drive on the netbook, copy stuff to that,  then from the ramdrive to hard disk
[19:42] <bradpitt> inclement, you need to install xine
[19:42] <zleap> but thats rather OTT for what I am doing
[19:42] <Slart> ovnandan: then run "sudo sh blablabla.run"
[19:42] <gdb> ovnandan: sudo ./run-my-program
[19:42] <guntbert> Hilikus: #openoffice.org seems more appropriate for your problem
[19:42] <rob0> trism: thanks, I'll try that, that makes sense
[19:42] <Slart> ovnandan: or what gdb said.. that works too
[19:42] <mordof> zleap: or just practice some patience :) hehe
[19:42] <inclement> bradpitt: Okay, will do, thanks very much
[19:42] <zleap> yeah
[19:42] <gdb> trism: Ah, that's a good point.
[19:43] <mordof> zleap: it's likely the ata100 drive that's taking the extra time
[19:43] <zleap> i don't have a problem with that speed, i was meerly asking why the numbers seemed low

[19:44] <ovnandan> i did that but it saying ' ERROR: nvidia-installer must be run as root'
[19:44] <Slart> ovnandan: what did you run? tell us the exact command that you typed
[19:44] <mneptok> ovnandan: sudo -i
[19:44] <Chaorain> Can I get some help with a Windows bug?I'm being ignored in #Windows
[19:44]  * mneptok repeats it AGAIN
[19:44] <Slart> Chaorain: this channel is for ubuntu support only.. sorry but we can't help you with windows bugs
[19:44] <Seeker`> ovnandan: what *exactly* did you do?
[19:44] <C4N> Chaorain: being ignored != being neglected
[19:44] <mneptok> Chaorain: this is #ubuntu. we do not give help with Windows.
[19:44] <ovnandan> i am confused... apparently i am totally new to ubuntu or linux...no idea about these command stufs....
[19:45] <mneptok> ovnandan: sudo -i
[19:45] <Seeker`> mneptok: you can stop that now
[19:45] <Seeker`> mneptok:  it clearly isn't working
[19:45] <rob0> mneptok: it wasn't the real answer anyway
[19:45] <mneptok> Seeker`: i'm completely baffled
[19:45] <erUSUL> ovnandan: if you are new wht not use System>dministration>hardware drivers ????
[19:45] <mneptok> rob0: uhhh ....
[19:45] <rob0> "ovnandan is asking the wrong question. The right question is how to get nvidia drivers working."
[19:45] <Seeker`> ovnandan: what command did you type?
[19:46] <MTeck> Any ideas why I'm getting this error trying to play an MPG? I installed ubuntu-restricted-extra. http://dpaste.com/137134/
[19:46] <mordof> zleap: it's 1/4 of your max network speed... it might be something wrong, i don't know.  i also have no idea how to diagnose that.. maybe load a large chunk of data into RAM and transfer it to another program recieving it. maybe localized messenger or something
[19:46] <mneptok> rob0: and the hardware drivers applet shows him/her no avaiable drivers.
[19:46] <Slart> what is this? some kind of time loop? everything keeps repeating.. What's happening doc??
[19:46] <kermit> should a wireless usb keyboard by logitech work?
[19:46] <rob0> Oh well, I have lost interest in it.
[19:46] <tonyyarusso> MTeck: I usually see that when the file is corrupt / incomplete.
[19:46] <mneptok> kermit: i have 2 that do
[19:46] <guntbert> Slart: welcome back :-)
[19:46] <Slart> kermit: wireless keyboards that doesn't need drivers usually just work
[19:46] <Slart> guntbert: hehe.. thanks
[19:47] <Snausages> kermit: wireless usb just works, it doesn't depend on the os at all
[19:47] <Seeker`> mordof: you mean it is 1/4 of the maximum network speed if you assume no overhead, or anything else using the connection
[19:47] <ovnandan> mneptok: i did 'sudo -i' it changed from <usernam>@<username>-desktop-: to root@<username>-: but the program still saying 'must be run as root',.....:(
[19:47] <mordof> Seeker`: yes, i did make that assumption in this case
[19:47] <mneptok> ovnandan: well, then the .run from nVidia is broken, because you are root.
[19:47] <rob0> ovnandan: maybe ask the nvidia folks for help?
[19:47] <MTeck> tonyyarusso: You know which package I should reinstall? I'm updating the system now but it's going to take a while....
[19:47] <MTeck> tonyyarusso: thanks
[19:47] <Jaza> I need some help with amarok, when I start it states that the phonon audio device does not work and is falling back to default.  However I don't have sound on amarok?
[19:48] <Seeker`> mordof: not really a valid assumption
[19:48] <ghost> I got compiz to work!
[19:48] <tonyyarusso> MTeck: not a package, the MPG.
[19:48] <ovnandan> ok...i see...
[19:48] <MTeck> tonyyarusso: oh.... that makes more sense; You think it's possible to recover it?>
[19:49] <ovnandan> is their any other way to know..I am really running as 'root' or not? (gui based plz)
[19:49] <Jaza> I'm new to ubuntu and linux and tried the forums but there are suggestions that I don't understand how to complete.
[19:49] <isiah> I am dual-booting windows XP and ubuntu 9.10. I followed the standard install technique. Why cant I read my linux files when I am running windows?
[19:49] <mneptok> ovnandan: whoami
[19:49] <Guest71081> lol.  I do have a question of you fine people.  Does anyone in here know how to install icon themes in GNOME?
[19:49] <Jaza> can anyone help me out?
[19:49] <mordof> zleap: apparently Seeker`sees it fit that i point out there might be overhead or other limitations on your network connection (other transfers or something going on)
[19:49] <ovnandan> 'whoami' is a commad?
[19:49] <alabd> llutz:  how to have a search for 2 word not only in one line the point that ljl mentioned ?
[19:49] <mneptok> Guest71081: open the Appearance preference panel and drop the icon archive on it
[19:49] <tonyyarusso> MTeck: depends how you got it.
[19:49] <phrac> ovnandan: are you trying to run the .run file in a terminal or are you just clicking on it?
[19:49] <mneptok> ovnandan: yes
[19:49] <tonyyarusso> MTeck: torrents are good for that
[19:49] <kantxx> anyone know if theres a bacula 3.x repo for 9.10???
[19:49] <MTeck> tonyyarusso: recorded it
[19:49] <Guest71081> Hrm
[19:49] <Snausages> jaza: best to take them one at a time.  want to pick one and give it a shot?
[19:50] <erUSUL> Guest71081: drag the tar.gz over the System>Preferences>Apearance||Themes window then drop it
[19:50] <llutz> alabd: grep -rie 'word2|word1' folder/*
[19:50] <Guest71081> mneptok: let me try that, thanks!
[19:50] <MTeck> tonyyarusso: eh - I gotta run - thanks for the help
[19:50] <tonyyarusso> MTeck: :S  Then I'm not sure
[19:50] <ovnandan> mneptok: hummm...saying i am root
[19:50] <alabd> lluTZ that is OR
[19:50] <mneptok> ovnandan: so then type the path and name of the .run file
[19:50] <norbi> hi guys, i lost my passford for my linux op
[19:50] <ovnandan> mneptok: ok thanks for now...
[19:50] <Guest71081> I also wanted to know why .zip files, once extracted, are telling me that they are invalid themes
[19:50] <norbi> how can i retrieve it
[19:50] <Guest71081> I also wanted to know why .zip files, once extracted, are telling me that they are invalid themes?
[19:50] <llutz> alabd: sure, grep only searches linewise
[19:50] <norbi> my pc is right here
[19:50] <Guest71081> Sorry for the double posts.
[19:50] <llutz> alabd: so grepping on different lines is OR
[19:50] <Jaza> I tried the ones I could do but the others can't do.
[19:51] <ovnandan> mneptok: no..i think really that .run file is either broken or decayed!
[19:51] <jpds> Guest71081: Try dropping the .zip on Appearances directly?
[19:51] <alabd> llutz:  thanks
[19:51] <tonyyarusso> norbi: When booting, hold the Shift key.  The grub menu should appear.  On that, select the "recovery mode" option.  That will boot to a root command line.  Then, invoke 'passwd yourusernamehere', and reset it.
[19:51] <mneptok> ovnandan: does it smell funny, or have any mold or fungus growing on it?
[19:51] <Jaza> it refers to deleting items in KDE which I'm not to familiar with.
[19:51] <guntbert> norbi: you cannot retrieve it - but you can change it from the recovery system
[19:51] <Guest71081> Yeah, I tried dropping it..
[19:51] <ericdb> I'm using the default NetworkManager under Karmic...I want to use OpenDNS...do I have to set it up individually on every wireless connection I use?
[19:51] <Guest71081> It tells me its invalid, and all the cool themes are in .zip!
[19:51] <Guest71081> lol
[19:51] <ovnandan> mnepok: can you tell me how to install grapic/sound driver in ubuntu?
[19:51] <llutz> ericdb: edit your dhclient-config
[19:52] <norbi> tonyyarusso; thanks for your helping, saved me from a reinstall!! many thanks!
[19:52] <ericdb> thanks llutz
[19:52] <ovnandan> mnepok: lol
[19:52] <mneptok> ovnandan: i just install the OS. my hardware is supported by Free drivers included in the default Linux kernel.
[19:52] <Jaza> can anyone help me with amarok or point me in the right direction, a simple step by step on how to?
[19:52]  * mneptok goes to smoke
[19:53] <Guest71081> jpds: no ideas, friend?
[19:53] <anonymous_> !paste
[19:53] <ovnandan> ok i installed the OS..but sound is not working totally and nvidia graphic is not enabled
[19:53] <jpds> Guest71081: I'd suggest complaining to the author of the themes.
[19:53] <arubadude> can somone link me to the ubuntu torrent pls
[19:53] <Guest71081> lol.
[19:53] <blakkheim> ericdb: use wicd instead of networkmanager, it works well with opendns and you only have to set it up once
[19:53] <Guest71081> jpds:  Yeah, I suppose.  They are way cool themes though.
[19:53] <Guest71081> Thanks for everyones help!
[19:53] <norbi> i was holded the shift key
[19:53] <Jarxes> gdb: trism: thanks guys, it worked. But this all deal makes me wonder... Shouldn't Synaptic be able to remove ALL the packages dependent on any suite like ubuntustudio-graphics? It's logical isn't it? I installed it this way so I should be able to uninstall it the same way. Synaptic devs apparently still have some job to do on their project...
[19:53] <arubadude> hello please?
[19:53] <norbi> but it doesnt apears
[19:54] <ericdb> blakkheim: I might check into wicd later on (I used to use it back when it was the only way for Ubuntu to talk to my campus network), but for now I'm looking for a NetworkManager solution.
[19:54] <ovnandan> ﻿blakkheim: thanks for the guide
[19:54] <arubadude> why wont anyone help me
[19:55] <Jaza> I have a problem with amarok, there is no sound?
[19:55] <Iowan> arubadude: You haven't asked for anything?
[19:55] <arubadude> Iowan: link to ubuntu 64bit torrent

[19:56] <gantrixx> I've experienced the same problem twice now.  I don't know if it is a totem error or an x.org error.  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1f69ab20  Basically, I'll play a video and it will cause totem to crash, after that all videos will crash totem.  I can fix it by restarting X.  It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the video itself as I can go back and play the video just fine.  Any ideas?  I'd like to report the bug, but I don't know to
[19:56] <gantrixx>  whom.
[19:56] <phrac> arubadude:
[19:56] <obiwan_> please, i can't work out why a gnome-terminal shortcuts starts in / instead of my home!? what's up with gnome's keyboard shorcuts?

[19:57] <reactor> meero, but try too google about usermodes in irc
[19:57] <alabd> has no result llutz
[19:57] <Jamed> meero: reactor: actually its channel mode
[19:58] <reactor> Jamed, roger ;)
[19:58] <reactor> meero, not usermodes but channel modes

[19:59] <bcj> Applications menu, etc
[19:59] <meero> reactor: what is idk?
[19:59] <Jamed> meero: best would be to google "irc channel modes", because it's not that easy to explain in short
[19:59] <guntbert> meero: i don't know :)
[19:59] <gdb> meero: idk = i don't know

[20:00] <Telvana> Has anyone been able to get BitchX working through apt-get?
[20:00] <heoa> How can I start sshd at startup?
[20:01] <Telvana> Running 9.10, that is?
[20:01] <ovnandan> finall question, can anybody tell me..that all the drivers and softwares need to run ubuntu...can be found from the OS itself?
[20:01] <gdb> Telvana: Is it even maintained still?  Have you considered irssi?  It's the "successor" to bitchx and is actively maintained.
[20:01] <grawity> heoa: dpkg should have configured that automatically.
[20:01] <ewook> Telvana: didn't know it was in the repo
[20:01] <meero> tonyyarusso: thanks that helped
[20:01] <moDumass> hey all, ive got a partician that im not using, how do i over write it and envelop it into my main hdd
[20:01] <Telvana> gdb: I am running irssi now, just wanted to run BX for nostalgia. :)
[20:02] <grawity> gdb: nope, BitchX is not maintained - and still has some serious security holes.
[20:02] <ewook> heoa: if installed via apt, it's already started on startup.
[20:02] <grawity> Telvana: compile from source?
[20:02] <gdb> Telvana: Oh, I certainly understand that!  I wish I could get olvwm. :-)
[20:02] <grawity> heoa: dpkg should have configured that automatically.
[20:02] <scott_ino2> ovnandan, generally speaking yes
[20:02] <Broom> can anyone help on a problem with megaraid driver?
[20:02] <grawity> heoa: But since you first asked in #archlinux -- Arch uses /etc/rc.conf for autostarting daemons.
[20:02] <Telvana> gdb: I guess I could look and see if there is a theme for irssi that's like bitchx.
[20:03] <norbi> what is this mean passwd [option][LOGIN]
[20:03] <ewook> Telvana: that would be fun to see :)
[20:03] <moDumass> Failed to run /usr/sbin/gparted as user root.
[20:03] <moDumass> Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file.
[20:03] <moDumass> which is a bit of a worry
[20:03] <Jaza> Can anyone help me with amarok, when I start it states that the phonon audio device does not work and is falling back to default.  However I don't have sound on amarok?
[20:03] <Telvana> ewook: Well, I hope it exists. Granted, I do like how irssi looks by default. It's a lot cleaner than bx
[20:03] <meero> when ubuntu minimal-cd , how to install gnome properly ?
[20:04] <guntbert> moDumass: did you start it with gksudo?
[20:04] <grawity> Telvana: If you just want to test -- http://www.bitchx.org/, configure, make, sudo checkinstall - will generate a .deb
[20:04] <gdb> Telvana: http://irssi.org/themes -- there's a bitchx theme there :)
[20:05] <bcj> Is bitchx not in getdeb?
[20:05] <moDumass> gunthway, no space left on device when i try to start it that way
[20:05] <gdb> Telvana: http://irssi.org/themefiles/BitchX.png -- there is the screenshot
[20:05] <gdb> bad terminal emulation though
[20:05] <grawity> I once had made numb3rs.theme, based on that Numb3rs episode
[20:05] <bcj> http://www.getbed.net
[20:05] <gme30066> evening!
[20:06] <keres> hi. how can i check the chmod of a folder?
[20:06] <Telvana> gdb: Looks good. I guess I have some work to do. Stupid question though, since it's a theme I assume it won't open up the same holes that the original BX had? I am not sure about how the irssi themes work.
[20:06] <llutz> keres: ls -ld folder
[20:06] <grawity> keres: 'ls -ld folder' to see the permissions
[20:06] <gdb> moDumass: no space left on device generally means you have a full partition (if it's seen when using a command, it's probably either /tmp or /var that's full)
[20:06] <keres> thanks!
[20:06] <grawity> Telvana: It's just a theme. It changes nothing more than display formatting.
[20:06] <gdb> Telvana: It's just look-and-feel.
[20:06] <moDumass> guntbert, that what happens when i try to launch it from menu, i get no space left on device when i launch it from console
[20:07] <Telvana> gdb: ok, thank you. I wasn't sure as to what all it involved.
[20:07] <Doonz> Hey guys im looking for a tutoreil that would show me the idiot steps (as in every step from a to z) in regards to starting up ubuntu server and have programs auto start in byobu each in their own window
[20:07] <meero> how to install gnome properly on ubuntu server?
[20:07] <moDumass> gdb, i have a spare 13gig partician that i want to format into the main Filesystem, but i cant
[20:08] <gdb> moDumass: Are you using LVM for your partition management?
[20:08] <guntbert> moDumass: that looks two messages for the same problem, please !pastebin the output of df -h
[20:08] <gme30066> does anyone have any experience with libvirt / KVM on Ubuntu Server 9.10?
[20:08] <gdb> moDumass: Or do you simply want to mount it as another filesystem?
[20:08] <tonyyarusso> gme30066: a little - what's up?
[20:08] <Baxnie> I want install ubuntu, i have a CD but when i restart my computer, it does not boot the linux CD.
[20:08] <ZykoticK9> meero, i suggest that you are doing things backwards - rather then install Gnome on Server, install services on the Desktop version
[20:08] <teadict> where were the splashes stored?
[20:09] <gme30066> @tonyarusso - trying to migrate some VMs from VirtualBox to KVM and am struggling with getting networking up and running. I think it's because all of my VBox VMs used Bridged networking.
[20:09] <AJC_Z0> Baxnie: You need to configure your BIOS to boot from your optical drive before your disk(s)
[20:09] <gdb> Baxnie: The solution to your problem will depend on your computer.  There will either be a key combo to press during boot to select CD, or you may need to configure your computer's BIOS to boot from CDROM.
[20:09] <moDumass> gdb, its a 13 gig partician that was created last time i did an update
[20:09] <Baxnie> [AJC_Z0]: The windows cd the computer boots ok, but the linux not
[20:09] <moDumass> gdb, im sorry i cant paste to pastebin because firefox wont start
[20:09] <guntbert> !pastebinit | moDumass
[20:09] <gdb> moDumass: That doesn't tell me anything.  Do you simply want to mount it somewhere as a new filesystem, or are you wanting to expand some LVM partitions to include the space?
[20:09] <Deathbringer> I cant get my internet to connect on my laptop no wireless or wired
[20:10] <grawity> moDumass: df -h | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' sprunge.us
[20:10] <tonyyarusso> gme30066: Perhaps you already have, but the first thing I'd check is what device name they're trying to use, and if that's right.
[20:10] <protojay> Baxnie, when your computer starts, you may need to press a key like DEL or F10 or F2, it shud say, then you need to change the boot order so that the CDROM boots first
[20:10] <moDumass> gdb, id like to expand
[20:10] <Baxnie> [protojay]: the computer detects windows CD, but not the linux
[20:10] <Baxnie> so my bios config is Ok
[20:10] <gme30066> @tonyarusso - Yep. :-)  /dev/eth0
[20:10] <meero> ZykoticK9: actually, im interested in installing minimal ubuntu, just firefox, without bloatware on OLD notebook
[20:10] <Baxnie> i put them on the same cd driver
[20:10] <Baxnie> (not at the same time, of course)
[20:10] <guntbert> Baxnie: how did you create the CD?
[20:11] <gdb> moDumass: And you are using LVM for partition management?  I'm not sure if Ubuntu sets that up by default or not.  If it does, then there is documentation online for growing partitions (but it's not pretty).
[20:11] <Baxnie> [guntbert]: downloaded the 9.10 iso, extract the files, and burned them into a cd
[20:11] <protojay> oh dear
[20:11] <protojay> Baxnie, thats wrong
[20:11] <Jarxes> gdb: trism: thanks guys, it worked. But this all deal makes me wonder... Shouldn't Synaptic be able to remove ALL the packages dependent on any suite like ubuntustudio-graphics? It's logical isn't it? I installed it this way so I should be able to uninstall it the same way. Synaptic devs apparently still have some job to do on their project...
[20:11] <Baxnie> [zomGreg]: why?
[20:11] <norbi> im trying to enter into the ##php channel
[20:11] <moDumass> gdb, i dont know, if that is the default then yes LVM, GPARTED is what ive been using to sort stuff out in the past
[20:11] <norbi> but i`ve been banned?
[20:11] <Baxnie> 'omg, why?
[20:11] <Jarxes> see you all
[20:11] <protojay> Baxnie, you need to burn the iso image so its as an ISO 96xx image
[20:11] <norbi> can i somehow find ut why?
[20:12] <norbi> im never agressive
[20:12] <wotsolatsod731> Yoddle
[20:12] <grawity> norbi: /mode ##php +b
[20:12] <norbi> never talking in bad way
[20:12] <rkj> Can anybody tell me a command line that will find all files in a directory tree matching a pattern (like "mp3") and give me both the name of the file and of the directory?
[20:12] <Baxnie> shit, i wasted the only cdr i had here
[20:12] <wotsolatsod731> Yoddle= hello
[20:12] <grawity> norbi: The channel bans everyone who is connected as 'root'.
[20:12] <Jamed> norbi: then you should talk to the channel operaters
[20:12] <rkj> There's gotta be a way
[20:12] <tonyyarusso> gme30066: and what does that match up with on the host?  (for me it's virbr0)
[20:12] <grawity> rkj: find dir/ -name '*.mp3'
[20:12] <meero> ZykoticK9: so when i install ubuntu minimal-cd, im asking how to install gnome correctly that it starts automaticly with system
[20:12] <gdb> rkj: find /path/to/files -type f -name \*.mp3 -print
[20:12] <comicinker> I face a serious problem with apt-get: I can't get any connection to an update-server.
[20:12] <guntbert> norbi: I think you must be registered to enter ##php
[20:12] <grawity> guntbert: He is.
[20:13] <norbi> i am registered
[20:13] <protojay> try downloading an image burning software for windows to burn the iso direct
[20:13] <Deathbringer> I cant get my internet to connect on my laptop no wireless or wired
[20:13] <ZykoticK9> meero, sorry man i'm don't help with Server/Gnome issues -- best of luck.
[20:13] <rkj> I tried "ls -R *.mp3" and that was barfed upon - thanks for the suggestions I will try
[20:13] <gme30066> @tonyarusso - virbr0 as well.
[20:13] <meero> ZykoticK9: np
[20:14] <gme30066> @tonyarusso - Under virtualbox, host eth0 was an internal IP. guest eth0 was also an internal IP, and guest eth0:0 was a public IP.
[20:14] <meero> anyone knows hot to install gnome on ubuntu minimal-cd?
[20:14] <norbi> where can i check this : where to type? /mode ##php +b
[20:14] <grawity> norbi: Type the command in the message box
[20:14] <norbi> but returns nothing
[20:14] <grawity> norbi: Anyway, I already told you why you are banned
[20:14] <gme30066> @tonyarusso - With libvirt and kvm, I can't seem to figure out how to assign a public IP to guest eth0:0
[20:15] <tonyyarusso> gme30066: oh, hrm... I haven't done that yet either.  *reads man pages*
[20:15] <Flannel> meero: You shouldn't have to do anything special, just ask for a regular desktop/ubuntu install.
[20:15] <guntbert> norbi: disconnect, close your client and restart it as normal user (not as root)
[20:15] <gme30066> @tonyarusso - :-/ what I was afraid of. :-)
[20:15] <rkj> grawity, gdb both forms worked - thanks
[20:15] <norbi>  connected as 'root', what is this means
[20:15] <Flannel> meero: Did you already finish the install of a command line only system?
[20:16] <norbi> it means that if i conenct whit 'root' linux user
[20:16] <norbi> it bans me/
[20:16] <norbi> ?
[20:16] <guntbert> norbi: that means you started your irc client as root
[20:16]  * gme30066 wonders if canonical's paid support is open during Christmas ;-)
[20:16] <grawity> norbi: yes, exactly.
[20:16] <norbi> i understand
[20:16] <norbi> so need to create an user
[20:16] <Purpley> Hey guys i have a proble m
[20:16] <norbi> thanks for figuring this out!
[20:16] <ineedhelp> Can some one help me get my wireless to work it wont even turn on and im useing ubunutu im new to it
[20:16] <guntbert> !noroot | norbi
[20:17] <protojay> !root
[20:17] <Purpley> Someone spammed me on xchat with the file transfer protocol but now, When i try to X out of them in ubunutu nothing happens
[20:17] <guntbert> norbi: don't work as root !
[20:17] <Purpley> But they are responsive
[20:17] <tonyyarusso> gme30066: I bet they are.
[20:17] <ineedhelp> Can i get some help?
[20:17] <Purpley> How do i end the task? or close the windows
[20:18] <obiwan_> esto es extrañisimo tios
[20:18] <obiwan_> oops
[20:18] <grawity> Purpley: Kill the xchat process? The command is 'pkill'
[20:18] <Purpley> kk
[20:19] <meero> Flannel: yes, but if i do sudo tasksel and ubuntu-desktop, it installs all the "usefull"ware
[20:19] <meero> Flannel:but i want just firefox, thats all
[20:19] <artrins> what server for email is good for ubuntu?
[20:19] <grawity> meero: You don't need GNOME just for Firefox
[20:19] <Flannel> meero: tasksel ubuntu-desktop should work, what are you having issues with?
[20:19] <grawity> Flannel: He just explained >_>
[20:20] <grawity> !info gnome-base
[20:20] <grawity> !info gnome-desktop
[20:20] <grawity> ...
[20:20] <meero> grawity: what do u suggest then?
[20:20] <grawity> meero: apt-cache search gnome | grep ^gnome
[20:21] <tonyyarusso> gme30066: I may have found something - chill for a few while I try stuff.
[20:21] <meero> Flannel: not issues, but the think is that ubuntu-desktop installs bloatware, with it
[20:21] <sphenxes> I have 3 partitions and a 64 GB empty space on my hard drive. I am using gparted to change the partition size. I can only resize the third and last partition (using the free space). But i need to change the size of the second partition ( i can't increase the size of it). any suggestion please?
[20:22] <bobie> hi guys.   I just installed karmic on my inspiron 1545, and the wireless doesn't work.  according to google, i just need to connect with ethernet and install updates to fix it.  I don't have an ethernet cable, though.  I unplugged my router and connected the cable that was going to it to the lappy, and no connection.  Does the cord have to be coming from the router?
[20:22] <trism> meero: gnome-core in karmic appears to be able as minimal a gnome as you'll get, whether that is enough to run a gnome session, I don't know
[20:23] <ironmanerz> bobie, shutdown your cable modem, waint 30s and restart, then connect to laptop
[20:23] <trism> meero: seems to be everything you'd need though
[20:23] <bobie> ironmanerz:  ok, imma try it.
[20:23] <trism> meero: no firefox though, you'd need to add that yourself
[20:23] <ironmanerz> bobie, make sure eth0 is set for dhcp, not manual ip config
[20:24] <trism> meero: there is also gnome-desktop-enviroment, but that looks like it installs more than ubuntu-desktop
[20:24] <Flannel> meero: Yeah, There are more minimal (non-gnome) desktops you can install too.  Try look into open box
[20:24] <bobie> ironmanerz:  where do you do that?  the network config thingy?
[20:24] <gme30066> @tonyarusso - will do! (I tried setting up bridging but that caused me to lose my IP address on HOST/eth0) and I can't NAT.
[20:25] <wastrel> there's bugs in my koala
[20:25] <meero> trism: thats perfets and suits well, but do you know if i install gnome-core, it starts gnome automaticly with start of ubunut? (its for mother, i dont want her to type commands on startup)
[20:25] <Iowan> ineedhelp: Wireless is tricky - might be driver??  Forum thread might yield better response.
[20:25] <ironmanerz> bobie, yeah if you are using to network manager it should be set to auto, not manual
[20:25] <ironmanerz> *the
[20:26] <gme30066> @tonyarusso - (I'm migrating my web server from VirtualBox to KVM and setting up a new TrixBox under KVM. Tried setting up TrixBox & PBX In A Flash under VirtualBox but sound was too choppy so trying KVM to see if performance improves.)
[20:26] <meero> Flannel: i like gnome much :-) , but anyway, what else do u suggest?
[20:26] <bobie> ironmanerz:  ok, it is.  doesn't work still.
[20:27] <bobie> ironmanerz:  is it worth buying a cable to connect to the router?
[20:27] <Telvana> This irssi theme doesn't look a whole lot like BitchX, lol.
[20:27] <bobie> ironmanerz:  or is that completely un related.
[20:27] <Flannel> meero: I don't know of any other metapackages that provide a stripped down gnome, gnome-desktop-environment isn't.  But you could certainly look at what it installs gnome-wise and just install those manually
[20:27] <norbi> why my auth  box is flickering when i try to login and even if im changing my pass, it doesnt let me
[20:27] <norbi> is this a virus?
[20:28] <norbi> its like a game
[20:28] <mobi-sheep> meero: If it is for the "mother", I'm certain she would not be irked with ubuntu-desktop.
[20:28] <ironmanerz> bobie, it sounds like an IP config problem...what does ifconfig show?
[20:28] <norbi> if you click on a box you win 5000000000 dollars, but you never can click on it
[20:28] <norbi> cause its flickers
[20:29] <meero> mobi-sheep: :-) its is old notebook, again, i dont want ubuntu-desktop , because of bloatware, and speed issues
[20:29] <mneptok> meero: Xubuntu?
[20:29] <KaiForce> i was just going to say that
[20:29] <mobi-sheep> meero: Lubuntu?
[20:29] <meero> mneptok: for mother? are u sure?
[20:29] <guntbert> ironmanerz: a heads up: bobie won't get an IP address without the router
[20:29] <mneptok> meero: quite
[20:30] <Flannel> meero: Lubuntu is a good choice, yes
[20:30] <ironmanerz> guntbert, why not?
[20:30] <tolpico> hello in xchat, ubuntu where is the option to disable the display of system messages in channels(logged in logged out etc)?
[20:30] <mneptok> meero: XFCE is as usable as GNOME
[20:30] <mobi-sheep> meero: As Flannel suggested, take a look at ubuntu-desktop metapackages and install the specific packages manually.
[20:30] <Flannel> meero: (those dependencies are viewable here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-desktop )
[20:30] <bobie> ironmanerz: i can't copy paste from it when it has no interwebs.
[20:30] <guntbert> ironmanerz: very often the routers have a different protocol between them and the ISP
[20:30] <mobi-sheep> tolpico: Right-click on the chat channel tree/tab and edit it under Settings.
[20:30] <bobie> ironmanerz: what am i looking for?
[20:31] <meero> mneptok: yes, for geeks, but not for old-minded peole, they want ease of use, and nice interface
[20:31] <mneptok> meero: my 75 year old father uses XFCE
[20:31] <guntbert> bobie: the easiest solution: buy a cable :-)
[20:32] <tolpico> mobi-sheep, thanks
[20:32] <meero> Flannel: yes, that is lot of unnecesary-ware
[20:32] <mobi-sheep> tolpico: No problem.
[20:32] <mneptok> bobie: unplug the cable modem. discinnect the router. wait 10m. then plug the computer into the cable modem directly. the modem has probably limited the MAC address to that of the router, and you need to wait for that setting to expire.
[20:33] <ironmanerz> guntbert, you mean the modem and the isp?
[20:33] <ironmanerz> bobie, ip should be public if you are plugged into the modem and it's working
[20:34] <meero> mneptok: mneptok your old father is linux geek? :-) my mother doest know after 5 ears of using notebook how to write email :-)
[20:34] <guntbert> ironmanerz: yes - I simply assumed that is one box
[20:34] <mneptok> meero: have you ever actually used XFCE?
[20:34] <meero> mneptok: just a short time .... tried
[20:34] <r0k3tm3n> mneptok: meero:  have u used LXDE?
[20:35] <mneptok> meero: go get a Xubuntu live session and try it out.
[20:35] <bobie> ironmanerz, guntburt, mneptok:  imma buy a cable. :p
[20:35] <meero> mneptok: maybe i should take longer examination
[20:35] <bobie> ironmanerz, guntburt, mneptok: thanks.
[20:35] <ironmanerz> hmm...alright, take the fun out of it
[20:35] <mneptok> r0k3tm3n: considering Lubuntu is in no way in any kind of supported state, it's probably not a good idea for a new user.
[20:36] <Phill_> Hi.. does anyone know what proxy settings i can use to be anonynous with this xchat ?
[20:36] <r0k3tm3n> mneptok: i didn't mean Lubuntu as an os, 'apt-get install lxde'
[20:36] <mneptok> !cloak > Phill_
[20:36] <norbi> !cloak > norbi
[20:37] <Phill_> !cloak
[20:38] <Dr_Willis> Installing Lubuntu-desktop alongside Gnome - can cause some quirky issues also. r0k3tm3n
[20:39] <Phill_> lol it says to contact network staff ?!
[20:39] <r0k3tm3n> Dr_Willis: testing only, of course..  =)
[20:40] <blackest_knight1> ccafternoon dr willis
[20:40] <guntbert> Phill_: further details in #freenode please
[20:42] <hamzaatova2> why the interent not working on guest?
[20:43] <Scott__> hamzaatove does it autosart the network connection with guest
[20:43] <blackest_knight1> hamzaatova2:  privilege
[20:43] <userfriendly> 'ello
[20:44] <allin-> is there a way to make openssh only available to computers in my home lan?
[20:44] <hamzaatova2> blackest_knight1, what should i do to make it work?
[20:44] <blackest_knight1> use a regular account
[20:44] <Dr_Willis> allin-:  the ssh server has all sorts of settings you can change.
[20:44] <Dr_Willis> allin-:  check its config filkes
[20:44] <r0k3tm3n> allin-: firewall on your connection to the internet
[20:45] <r0k3tm3n> allin-: usually build into the router
[20:45] <Dr_Willis> allin-:  you can set up the ssh server to only allow local lan access
[20:45] <userfriendly> can someone help me configure x? i have two ati cards, one with two screens and a third on the other. i get a desktop across the screen on one card and one of the screens on the other, but the second screen on that card just mirrors the first one.
[20:45] <Dr_Willis> Multi ati cards.. now thats scary
[20:46] <Scott__> what driver u using userfriendly
[20:46] <guntbert> hamzaatova2: what virtualization system? what host OS? what guest OS?
[20:46] <Dr_Willis> at least its not an ati+nvidia cards..
[20:46] <userfriendly> i simply want the desktop to stretch across all screens
[20:46] <userfriendly> fglrx
[20:46] <adminewb> userfriendly, I have a similar issue, with two ATI adapters where it's too much headache to get X driver to talk to both at once
[20:46] <userfriendly> (i have it working with an ati and an nvidia, at work... kinda puzzled why it doesn't work with two ati cards)
[20:46] <hamzaatova2> guntbert, gnome - i dont know what are the others
[20:46] <meero> mneptok: and what about ubuntu-remix compared to xubuntu?
[20:46] <blackest_knight1> userfriendly:  display manager would set them up as mirrored initially but you will want them stacked above each other i dont think you will be able to put them side by side initially at least
[20:47] <guntbert> hamzaatova2: what did you mean with "guest" then?
[20:47] <userfriendly> i'd be content if they weren't mirrored, for starters :D
[20:47] <Scott__> check pm user
[20:47] <mac9416> Is there a way to install kdesu/kdesudo in GNOME?
[20:47] <hamzaatova2> guntbert, guest user under the user name drop down
[20:47] <blackest_knight1> userfriendly:  check display manager
[20:48] <userfriendly> displaymanager is a no-go, i have xinerama enabled
[20:48] <blackest_knight1> mac9416:  yes all kubuntu stuff will work in gnome but will drag in dependencys
[20:48] <guntbert> hamzaatova2: aah - I misunderstood completely :-) - so as regular user everything works?
[20:48] <blackest_knight1> userfriendly:  sorry not played with that
[20:49] <mac9416> blackest_knight1, I may be able to handle the dependencies. Do you know what the package name is?
[20:49] <hamzaatova2> guntbert, yes - and also - f-spot cant complete the upload process to 23hq
[20:50] <blackest_knight1> mac9416: kdesudo
[20:50] <guntbert> hamzaatova2: lets keep to one problem please : go to your regular account, select system/preferences/network connections
[20:50] <mac9416> blackest_knight1, E: Couldn't find package kdesudo
[20:51] <blackest_knight1> mac9416:  sudo synaptic and add all the repositories
[20:51] <mac9416> blackest_knight1, yeah my bad. I had all repos disabled for some reason.
[20:52] <hamzaatova2> guntbert, ok
[20:52] <guntbert> hamzaatova2: are we talking about wired or wireless?
[20:53] <hamzaatova2> guntbert, less
[20:54] <iceroot> !gksudo | blackest_knight1
[20:54] <guntbert> hamzaatova2: then select the wireless tab, there select your current connection
[20:54] <iceroot> blackest_knight1: also synaptic is calling gksudo by its own, so no need for it
[20:55] <hamzaatova2> guntbert, fine
[20:55] <LeChacal> hello, i am trying to figure out how to update my grub2 menu, for some reason when I update and install kernel updates the grub menu doesn't get updated so I only have the option to boot 2.6.31-14 even though i have 2.6.31-16 installed. I have googled but not found much nor know what to google. Anyone know how to fix this?
[20:55] <hamzaatova2> guntbert, yes i see it
[20:55] <guntbert> hamzaatova2: now click on edit
[20:56] <hamzaatova2> guntbert, does this option menas that it will enable the interent on guest?
[20:56] <maple1> so I heard brittany murphey is giving up acting
[20:56] <madagascar27> so i just downloaded ubuntu 9.10 iso burned it on a cd and ran it, i ran the check integrity option and it found an error what do I do?
[20:56] <guntbert> hamzaatova2: I hope - but not yet - you have to give your password to authenticate
[20:56] <aviator> #ubuntu-fr
[20:57] <ironmanerz> madagascar27, re-download cd image - don't use download acceleraters
[20:57] <dabaR> LeChacal: I can try... pastebin output of 'aptitude search linux-image-2.6.31-16', please.
[20:58] <madagascar27> ironmanerz:i got it off a torrent
[20:58] <Fezzler> Ubuntu 9.10: "wine: /home/users/.wine is not owned by you"  ???? Permissions issue?
[20:58] <dabaR> Fezzler: sounds like...
[20:58] <hamzaatova2> guntbert, when i choose it to allow all userrs the internet disconect
[20:59] <johnson_b> Fezzler: sudo chown -R user:group /home/user/.wine
[20:59] <guntbert> hamzaatova2: but it should reconnect immediately
[20:59] <ironmanerz> madagascar27, from the official tracker?
[20:59] <jolaren> What's wrong with this command line? "useradd -d /home/xbmc -m xbmc" When I login I get to the /home/ directory..
[20:59] <guntbert> !md5sum | madagascar27
[20:59] <hamzaatova2> guntbert, i reverted the option because it doesnt
[20:59] <blackest_knight1> Fezzler:  your user is called users ?
[21:00] <hamzaatova2> guntbert, im in the middle of uploading to 23hq
[21:00] <madagascar27> ironmanerz: yes i found the torrent from the ubuntu website
[21:00] <dabaR> jolaren: you could review /etc/passwd to see what is the home dir there
[21:00] <thevishy> !ipod
[21:00] <guntbert> hamzaatova2: strange - but then I'm at the end of my ideas - sorry
[21:00] <rgnr> hi
[21:00] <rgnr> how do i read dual layer dvds?
[21:00] <thevishy> any software to change your movie to ipod format ?
[21:00] <jolaren> dabaR; Ok I will try. What's wrong with the command line thought?
[21:00] <ironmanerz> madagascar27, hmm, check the md5 but torrents do that automatically
[21:00] <LeChacal> dabaR: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5aad3a71
[21:01] <epalm> how can i prevent ubuntu from slipping into the screensaver while vlc is playing a video?  happens every 5 minutes, even though Power Management Preferences say "Never"
[21:01] <Ov3rf10w> thevishy, try to convert with ffmpeg
[21:01] <madagascar27> ironmanerz:how?
[21:01] <hamzaatova2> guntbert, well ok - i was comunicated with someone anyway - you

[21:01] <jolaren> Guest69752; xchat
[21:01] <tonyyarusso> gme30066: what'd you have to do?
[21:01] <Ov3rf10w> Guest69752, xchat or kvirc
[21:01] <ironmanerz> madagascar27, check the link ubotto gave
[21:01] <guntbert> hamzaatova2: Good luck :-)
[21:02] <madagascar27> ironmanerz: ok thx
[21:02] <thevishy> !ffmpeg
[21:02] <Ov3rf10w> lol
[21:02] <hamzaatova2> guntbert, others leave me too fast
[21:02] <Ov3rf10w> thevishy, what is format of ipod videos?
[21:02] <madagascar27> ironmanerz: if i install from the CD it gives me the option to partition right?
[21:02] <dabaR> LeChacal: 'ls /boot' see whether that shows the kernel there.
[21:02] <adminewb> LeChacal, I'm no grub2 expert but have been wrangling with it for some time; have you looked at the grub home page?
[21:02] <i3luefire> what is up with the ttf-mscorefonts-installer error?
[21:02] <gme30066> Install virt-manager package.... go into the details for the the VM.... remove the current network interface.... and add a new network interface.  From there you can select "Shared Physical Device".  .... my NICs are grayed out but I'm so close I can feel it. :-)
[21:02] <Fezzler> Can I get to the wine dir in Terminal.  Issue an "ls" and I don't see wine
[21:03] <ironmanerz> madagascar27, yup auto or manual
[21:03] <guntbert> hamzaatova2: let me check another idea
[21:03] <thinced> Fezzler: ls -a
[21:03] <madagascar27> ironmanerz: ? what
[21:03] <beeftube> hi, where can I find the actual font files? I need to copy one over to my 3d application, TIA
[21:03] <Ov3rf10w> Fezzler, go to home and set to see hiden folders
[21:03] <hamzaatova2> guntbert, i mean in life
[21:03] <dabaR> jolaren: command seems OK to me. dunno.
[21:03] <gme30066> @tonyarusso - Install virt-manager package.... go into the details for the the VM.... remove the current network interface.... and add a new network interface.  From there you can select "Shared Physical Device".  .... my NICs are grayed out but I'm so close I can feel it. :-)
[21:03] <LeChacal> dabaR: yes it shows 2.6.31-14, 2.6.31-15, and 2.6.31-16
[21:03] <Fezzler> I need to del wine.dir
[21:03] <ironmanerz> heh, yes it will help you partition automatically or manually, prolly auto
[21:04] <thinced> Fezzler: cd ~ then rm -fr .wine
[21:04] <LeChacal> adminewb: yes i have looked around on there page but they dont talk about how grub gets update when a new kernel is installed
[21:04] <dabaR> LeChacal: pastebin output of sudo grub-mkconfig please.
[21:04] <tonyyarusso> gme30066: interesting.  Say, you know how as a regular user you can do --connect qemu:///session, and get user-constrained stuff?  How would you then access those resources as root?  (What's the URI?)
[21:04] <thevishy> Ov3rf10w, i think some sort of mp4 but not sure
[21:04] <Fezzler> something about I installed wine with sudo - apparently a no no
[21:04] <guntbert> hamzaatova2: sorry, my last idea didn't work out either
[21:05] <thevishy> do we have quick time for linux ?
[21:05] <adminewb> LeChacal, yes, it's quite the convoluted process to be sure
[21:05] <hamzaatova2> guntbert, the network dont even start on guest
[21:05] <Ov3rf10w> thevishy, ok try ex: ffmpeg -i file.avi file.mp4
[21:05] <thinced> Fezzler: from pakages? It's ok. sudo apt-get install wine
[21:05] <gme30066> @tonyarusso - I just sudo virt-manager and everything is there.  Of course, I'm doing this over an "ssh -X -C -l <user> <ip>" because there's no gui on this Ubuntu Server 9.10 system. :-)  So, ssh takes care of the X-Forwarding for me.
[21:05] <Ov3rf10w> thevishy, first install ffmpeg sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
[21:06] <thevishy> bit I really am not sure if the mp4 itself has subbvariants
[21:06] <Fezzler> Well the root issue is I can't seem to get JACKD to work
[21:06] <tonyyarusso> gme30066: If you're doing sudo virt-manager you're getting the system URI.
[21:06] <LeChacal> dabaR: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m67b9b432
[21:06] <gme30066> @tonyarusso - That's what the HowTo said to do on the Ubuntu pages for setting up virtualization.
[21:06] <Ov3rf10w> thevishy, ffmpeg -i file .avi file.any format :)
[21:06] <Slart> beeftube: they are somewhere deep down in /usr/lib I think
[21:06] <madagascar27> ironmanerz: okay it compared and said it was the same am I okay to install now?
[21:07] <ironmanerz> madagascar27, yeah if the md5 matches you should be good
[21:07] <Fezzler> All I get is a crackling sound.  I'm trying to use Reaper or Ardour so I can use ASIO driver so I can eliminate latency and listen to one guitar track while laying down my lead
[21:07] <madagascar27> ironmanerz: kk thanks
[21:07] <dabaR> LeChacal: and also /boot/grub/menu.lst, please
[21:07] <Fezzler> So far no luch
[21:07] <gme30066> @tonyarusso - Under VirtualBox everything was running as a "vbox" user.  I'm assuming things have to run as root under KVM to have access to all the devices?
[21:07] <Fezzler> luck
[21:07] <Slart> beeftube: the ubuntu wiki says they are in /usr/share/fonts/truetype
[21:07] <dabaR> Fezzler: and lunch?
[21:07] <Fezzler> :)
[21:08] <tonyyarusso> gme30066: there are both ways.  Obviously you haven't done it, so nvm.
[21:08] <thevishy> ffmpeg has a front end ?
[21:08] <Ov3rf10w> thevishy, no. just terminal
[21:08] <thevishy> ohh
[21:09] <LeChacal> dabaR: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1d9d99fb
[21:09] <LostOne> oh yeah, while i'm on xchat.. lol... : I tried to set up the old GDM style but all i get is a splash.. i uninstalled xsplash, looked on the forums and found nothing to help me get the old style GDM back(where i can edit the themes at startup)
[21:09] <Fezzler> someone told me to delete the .wine dir and that will help ??
[21:09] <LostOne> I was wondering if you guys know how.. using 9.10...
[21:09] <beeftube> slart, you rule! thanks
[21:09] <Khalsa> #/j #test
[21:09] <dabaR> LeChacal: do you happen to have more than one OS installed?
[21:09] <sharperguy> Anyone know a good way of connecting to a weak wifi signal. It seems it refuses to connect to anything below three bars.
[21:10] <LeChacal> dabaR: i have windows 7 and ubuntu installed
[21:10] <dabaR> but grub is the boot loader?
[21:10] <Slart> beeftube: wow.. I have to tell my wife that.. I don't think she got the memo ;)... you're welcome
[21:10] <guntbert> hamzaatova2: sorry, I'm really out of ideas, please ask the channel again (just type "guest user" instead of just "guest" to prevent misunderstanding
[21:10] <Fezzler> Linux audio is not for the beginner!  Love Ubuntu though
[21:10] <LeChacal> dabaR: yes grub is the bootloader
[21:10] <duffydack> bcm43 or STA wireless driver?  which is best, i have both choices
[21:10] <dabaR> LeChacal: afaict your grub has the -16 option.
[21:10] <dabaR> LeChacal: what is this grub2 business you are talking about>?
[21:10] <thevishy> !arista
[21:11] <dabaR> LeChacal: looks like it is just grub in Ubuntu Karmic.
[21:11] <dabaR> I mean, grub2 is grub
[21:12] <dabaR> LeChacal: ohoh, no, nm what I said.
[21:12] <LeChacal> dabaR: it is just grub and karmic but i dont understand how the new version of grub used with Karmic works
[21:12] <epalm> ubuntu isn't listening to anything in System -> Preferences -> Power Management, specifically, it's starting the screensaver while set to "Never"
[21:12] <epalm> any ideas?
[21:12] <dabaR> LeChacal: you upgraded to karmic from an older version?
[21:12] <epalm> 9.10
[21:13] <teddymills> i dont trust crontab -e, I cannot get it to run cronjobs. Should I manually edit system wide /etc/crontab ?
[21:13] <epalm> upgraded from 9.04
[21:13] <LeChacal> dabaR: no clean install, i installed win7 first then put on Karmic
[21:13] <dabaR> LeChacal: hm...do you have a /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
[21:14] <LeChacal> dabaR: yes I do
[21:14] <dabaR> pastebin that one please.
[21:14] <Slart> teddymills: I've never had any problems with crontab -e ... the actual crontabs are hidden away somewhere
[21:14] <AJC_Z0> teddymills: Your trust issues are a personal problem. The crontab modified with "crontab -e" is for the user wheres the ones under /etc are for the system. Each should be used accordingly
[21:15] <gdb> They're in /var/spool/cron/crontabs
[21:15] <dabaR> epalm: I don't see a screensaver setting there, why don't you look at the screensaver options instead of PM?
[21:15] <dabaR> < teddymills> i dont trust crontab -e, I cannot get it to run cronjobs. Should I manually edit system wide /etc/crontab ?
[21:15] <dabaR> Was that the opening of the conversation or did I miss something?
[21:15] <gdb> I don't understand it, either.
[21:16] <mrbig4545> hey guys, ive installed ubuntu server, i want to set up apache2 + svn+ dav
[21:16] <mrbig4545> but i cant find mod_dav_svn
[21:16] <dabaR> teddymills: I could likely help you correct your crontab entry if you show what you put there in a pastebin, or just paste here since it is one line only.
[21:16] <mrbig4545> anyone got any ideas?
[21:16] <hamzaatova2> ive a little problem with finding alternative video hosting insted of not alternative ones - im using f spot to find alternative hosting for photos like 23 hq but i dont know which video hosting are consider alternative

[21:17] <superdump> i'm having an issue on my laptop running ubuntu 9.10
[21:17] <superdump> it used to suspend/hibernate and resume perfectly
[21:17] <christkdcdd> whats the issue?
[21:17] <dabaR> LeChacal: try sudo update-grub, and then pastebin the grub.cfg file again, please.
[21:17] <colton_> I don't get any sound when I try to play youtube videos.
[21:17] <Hald> Howdy folks
[21:17] <superdump> i was poking around with the gps device in it (it's a lenovo x200s) and since then it won't suspend
[21:18] <christkdcdd> update the drivers colton
[21:18] <Hald> How do I repair a broken package with synaptics?
[21:18] <colton_> How do I update the drivers?
[21:18] <christkdcdd> O.o
[21:18] <superdump> i was wondering what i can do to figure out why it won't suspend
[21:18] <christkdcdd> ok i hate helping people
[21:18] <dabaR> Hald: you could try sudo aptitude -f install, and before you answer y to the question it asks, pastebin the output.
[21:19] <guntbert> superdump: look into /var/log/syslog - maybe you find hints there
[21:19] <Fezzler> Yea! Finally got Hydrogen working with Jackd.  Sounds awesome.  One problem, not exactly sure how I solved it!  :)
[21:19] <superdump> guntbert: ok, will do, thanks
[21:19] <LeChacal> dabaR: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m58d9c05d
[21:19] <Hald> dabaR: well the broken package is electricsheep and some other packages will be removed it says
[21:20] <dabaR> Hald: paste the output to pastebin.com or some other pastebin site.
[21:20] <dabaR> mrbig4545: Does this tutorial explain it: http://alephzarro.com/blog/2007/01/07/installation-of-subversion-on-ubuntu-with-apache-ssl-and-basicauth/ ?
[21:20] <dabaR> mrbig4545: I guess the first question is are you going to be using SSL?
[21:20] <halvot> hei
[21:21] <halvor> hello
[21:21] <vz88> hi
[21:21] <Hald> dabaR: here pastebin.com/d60d39c86
[21:21] <freaky[t]_> hi all. i've recently installed windows7 which removed grub2. i now booted from a live CD and reinstalled grub. now windows is removed - how do I readd windows to the grub list at boot?
[21:21] <dabaR> LeChacal: OK, do you have stuff in /etc/grub.d, and what stuff do you have? Should be a linux file, please pastebin that one.
[21:21] <Hald> I'm trying to upgrade electricsheep. I added another source to the repos
[21:21] <Slart> freaky[t]_: I think grub will find it automagically if you run "sudo update-grub2"
[21:21] <freaky[t]_> !grub
[21:22] <guntbert> !grub2 | freaky[t]_
[21:22] <freaky[t]_> yes it worked thank you Slart  :D
[21:22] <Slart> freaky[t]_: you're welcome
[21:22] <dabaR> LeChacal: you could try the update-grub2 too.
[21:22] <dabaR> :-/
[21:22] <jarray52> I can bootup a gnome-session by first starting an xserver from the command prompt. However, Ubuntu will not boot. Does anyone know what set of files may cause this problem?
[21:23] <jonah_> hey guys. i accidently installed some drivers by mistake. i installed the realtek alsa sound drivers for linux when infact i don't need them, it stopped my sound so i went to synaptic and reinstalled alsa etc. sound is back but how do i clean up the installed modules and remove them? when i type  sudo lsmod i can still see references to Realtek in there
[21:23] <dabaR> Hald: Betyg är 119 means score is 119?
[21:23] <Hald> what do you think dabaR? Should I press yes and reinstall it. Yhea, correct
[21:23] <dabaR> And the solution seems to be to remove that sheep package?
[21:23] <switch10_> how can I get better quality out of thoggen dvd ripper?
[21:24] <dabaR> Ta bort följande paket:  something like remove broken package?
[21:24] <Hald> correcct. along with the others prompted
[21:24] <switch10_> and still keep the file around 700mb
[21:24] <freaky[t]_> is there a possiblity i can remove an existing partition and add it to some other partition without this other partition beeing removed or data is lost on it?
[21:24] <LeChacal> dabaR: update-grub2 isn't installed, and then inside of /etc/grub.d there are 6 script files and a README which file do you want the pastbin of?
[21:24] <dabaR> that's why people say borked.
[21:24] <halvor> does anyone know where can i download docklets for gnome do?
[21:24] <gdb> freaky[t]_: If you are using LVM for partition management, yes.  If not, no.
[21:24] <dabaR> Hald: if I see correctly, it will not remove the packages that package broke.
[21:24] <halvor> i need the network docklet pretty much :S
[21:24] <dabaR> Hald: a positive scorwe usually means good times.
[21:25] <freaky[t]_> gdb, im not using LVM and i dont know what partition management you mean?
[21:25]  * xNinja looking for a fancy .bashrc files to use...like coloring and stuff like that
[21:25] <dabaR> LeChacal: does it offer a package which would have update-grub2?
[21:25] <gdb> freaky[t]_: "partition management" is the management of allocated disk paritions and unallocated empty disk space.
[21:25] <freaky[t]_> gdb,  isnt there any program which can do that like partition magic can do under windows?
[21:26] <dabaR> LeChacal: the linux file, on mine it is called 10_linux
[21:26] <Joelito> so, am I the only one with firefox "g_prgname" problem?
[21:26] <Hald> dabaR: oh. ok... could it be flam3 package, because that one did not get upgraded?
[21:26] <dabaR> Hald: that one is not installable, from what I can make out
[21:26] <gdb> freaky[t]_: GNU parted may, but I don't know for certain.  It's worth looking into, however.
[21:26] <freaky[t]_> ok thanks
[21:27] <gdb> freaky[t]_: parted being Partition Editor. :-)
[21:27] <Hald> dabaR:  electricsheep: Beroende of: flam3 (>= 2.7.13) Is not installable
[21:27] <LeChacal> dabaR: there are several packages with update-grub2 in it and here is the pastbin http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3efd3160
[21:27] <Hald> woops, some swewnglish :)
[21:27] <Hald> -w+e
[21:27] <dabaR> meaning electricsheep depends on flam3, which is not installable
[21:27] <Hald> yhea
[21:27] <Alacard> Anyone care to help me fix a failed GRUB boot loader?
[21:28] <Hald> I have an older version of electricsheep installed, dabaR
[21:28] <iugrina> hi all. I've just updated ubuntu and now i'm having some really strange problems with "bus error"s with almost all gtk applications
[21:28] <irc_newb> hello all can someone help me with my ssh server?
[21:28] <dabaR> Hald: in other words, uninstall that package, and you might have to find a different installation path than the repositories.
[21:28] <Szenti> +server irc.mibbit.com
[21:28] <darthmaul> ciao
[21:28] <Szenti> hi all
[21:29] <dabaR> Alacard: what is failed about it?
[21:29] <LeChacal> dabaR: the packages that have update-grub2 in it are architecture specific and only two look to match me one being grub-pc or grub-coreboot not sure which would work for me, the rest are for intel Macs or eee pcs.
[21:29] <Slart> hmm, I just installed matlab on my 64bit karmic system.. I installed from a mounted iso and I figured that since the install is finished I would unmount my iso.. but now it complains that it's still in use.. so I run lsof to see what is using it.. and apparently a process called   dbus-daemon is using a file on the iso.  dbus-daem 10123       root  mem       REG                7,0       163216       3402 /mnt/iso/update/bin/glnxa64/libexpat.so.1   . What is t
[21:29] <dabaR> LeChacal: weird stuff. I know how to manually fix your problem, but maybe a better solution would be the grub-pc, not sure.
[21:29] <Alacard> thanks dabaR, I have reinstalled Ubuntu several times & it errors out on boot w/ "error: file not found" w/o any error code
[21:30] <COLDHELL> Hello, somebody nows how i cant coneect two monitors, two keyboards and two mouse two one CPU and make work like a two computers?

[21:30] <Scott__> not possible coldhell
[21:30] <Szenti> Slart, reboot? :)
[21:30] <Alacard> the install finishes, but it's like it isn't loading the boot loader
[21:30] <COLDHELL> Dr i saw it in one place, everything done...

[21:31] <Dr_Willis> COLDHELL:  yep. i recall seeing articals on doing it.. and i even recall some specilized disrto/hardware that could expand that idea to be several  'multi seat pc's' on one box.
[21:31] <jarray52> I can run an xserver and then a gnome-session from the command line, but Ubuntu does not boot. The kernel is booting, but something is failing afterwards. Anyone know what programs run after the kernel loads?
[21:31] <dabaR> LeChacal: please also pastebin /etc/default/grub
[21:32] <dabaR> Alacard: why do you figure it is the boot loader?
[21:32] <Dr_Willis> COLDHELL:  i belive the proper term to google for woukld be 'multiseat'
[21:32] <COLDHELL> The one that i saw was without any hardware, just a double output video card and thats it
[21:32] <switch10_> COLDHELL: I have 2 keyboards, 2 monitors, for my laptop.  the two monitors are set up one on top of the other, and its kind of like 2 computers
[21:32] <COLDHELL> ok mulltiseat
[21:32] <COLDHELL> Switch10 hows the deal?
[21:32] <Alacard> hrmm... now that I think about it, it could be that it isn't finding the partition it's looking for
[21:32] <Alacard> The actual error is 2 lines but this is it:

[21:35] <guntbert> !best | shashike
[21:36] <Alacard> any thoughts on the no-boot?
[21:36] <Hald> dabaR: oh, I got it working after mixing with the config file. Thank you for the help! BTW do you know if I can prevent a package from ever getting updated? You see, I have a patched Xfig and I don't want that buggy upgrade package
[21:36] <guntbert> irc_newb: what messages do your get?

[21:36] <shashike> coz  i am a newbie!!

[21:38] <jeff1140> on Ubuntu
[21:38] <jarray52> Alacard: Can you press "esc"?
[21:38] <teage> is it bad to be a noob
[21:38] <Hald> jeff1140: just tell us!
[21:38] <Alacard> during the boot process?
[21:38] <COLDHELL> !info desktop-multiplier
[21:38] <teage> i mean
[21:39] <teage> how long do i have to be a user before im not called a noob?
[21:39] <jarray52> Alacard: yes. Usually, grub counts to 5. Can you press "esc" in this period of time?
[21:39] <jeff1140> I have a NVIDIA 5200FX 256MB Graphic card and I can't get my correct resolution to come up
[21:39] <Alacard> nopers, I don't get that far
[21:39] <jeff1140> It doesnt see my Max Resolution
[21:39] <Alacard> thank you very much for your time jarray52
[21:39] <jeff1140> My Max resolution is 1366x768 and it sees 1024x768 as the highest
[21:39] <dabaR> teadict: who called you a noob?
[21:40] <guntbert> teage: we don't call anyone a noob here - be welcome to listen and learn (and soon to help) :-)
[21:40] <Slart> !info desktop-multiplier dapper
[21:40] <Slart> bah
[21:40] <jarray52> Alacard: Do you have a live CD or Ubuntu on a flash drive?
[21:40] <Alacard> I do
[21:40] <Alacard> booting live CD now
[21:40] <Hald> jeff1140: ok. maby you have to modify the configuration files manualy. take a look at /etxX11/xorg.conf... That is if you have one. In karmic You don't
[21:41] <jeff1140> I am using Karmic
[21:41] <tobiasz> I cannot install 190.42 driver which is now stable, it gives me some error and quits installing, everything was fine before formatting and reinstalling Ubuntu
[21:41] <jeff1140> Also, I can't enable desktop effects and I have the right driver installed
[21:41] <tobiasz> fuck fedora shit distro
[21:41] <Slart> !language | tobiasz
[21:42] <tobiasz> I cannot install 190.42 driver which is now stable, it gives me some error and quits installing, everything was fine before formatting and reinstalling Ubuntu
[21:42] <Slart> tobiasz: what is the error?
[21:42] <Hald> jeff1140: Then you probably need to create the config file
[21:42] <irc_newb> ok here's my question. i have a box setup with ubuntu server 9. i have openssh installed and it works fine, but only when i login to the server with the keyboard first. i cannot simply power on then ssh from another computer. what have i misconfigured?
[21:43] <tobiasz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/345556/
[21:43] <jeff1140> How?  I am new to Linux
[21:43] <Hald> jeff1140: look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1318677&page=3 and search google for configs of your card

[21:43] <tobiasz> jeff1140 do never EVER touch fedora
[21:43] <Slart> irc_newb: hmm.. you installed the regular ssh server?
[21:44] <irc_newb> openssh-server
[21:44] <Hald> tobiasz: why not?
[21:44] <tobiasz> Hald it's a completely worthless piece of poo, which doesn't work at all and nothing is good about it
[21:44] <Slart> irc_newb: afaik it should work without a user logged in.. you're not doing something else when the user logs in? updating firewall rules? something else with the network?
[21:44] <Hald> tobiasz: oh. didn't know that
[21:44] <tobiasz> Hald couldn't do a signle thing I could think of on that worthless OS
[21:44] <guntbert> irc_newb: please check /var/log/auth.log on the target
[21:45] <stedy> any one familiare with pbuilder? and could explain to me how to get ridd of this error msg? #docbook-to-man debian/minidlna.sgml > minidlna.1

[21:45] <stedy> dh_prep
[21:45] <tobiasz> Hald even sound didn't work
[21:45] <irc_newb> ok hang tight
[21:45] <LeChacal> dabaR: you said that you could fix it by hand where you talking about just changing /boot/grub/grub.cfg to have all of the kernels like in the /boot/grub/kernel file?
[21:45] <tobiasz> Hald on Sound Blaster Live! the sound didn't work = worthless distro
[21:45] <Slart> tobiasz: well.. that wasn't very helpful.. why not try the binary driver from the nvidia site instead.. perhaps that works better
[21:45] <irc_newb> i can ping the server...
[21:45] <irc_newb> hold on and ill check the log
[21:45] <Hald> tobiasz: yhea? I used fedora 3 or something and it workt good as of what I remember. The problem was the upgrades and RPM system... it suckt
[21:46] <tobiasz> Slart I just downloaded the *.run binary
[21:46] <dabaR> LeChacal: quite weird. Yes, that would be the manual solution.
[21:46] <tobiasz> Slart but I don't quite seem to have any idea if I can run it just like that
[21:46] <Slart> tobiasz: this is the ubuntu support channel.. if you want to vent off some steam about some other distro do it in #ubuntu-offtopic or some other channel, please
[21:46] <guntbert> !ot | Hald
[21:46] <dabaR> LeChacal: does cat /usr/sbin/update-grub|grep grub.cfg provide output?
[21:46] <stedy> any one familiare with pbuilder? and could explain to me how to get ridd of this error msg? http://paste.ubuntu.com/345558/
[21:47] <Slart> tobiasz: that's what I do.. you just have to shut down gdm first..
[21:47] <Alacard> is there a way in pidgin to get rid of "so and so joined..." or "so an so left..." so I don't get all that spam?
[21:47] <Hald> guntbert: oh sorry. jeff1140 how goes, find anything on google for your card?
[21:47] <dabaR> stedy: seems like a permission problem. :-/
[21:47] <jeff1140> no
[21:47] <LeChacal> dabaR: no that doesn't give anything
[21:47] <jeff1140> Can you guys find it for me please?  I really want Ubuntu to work
[21:47] <Slart> tobiasz: of course.. the supported way is to install the driver package in the ubuntu repos.. but you seem to be getting packages from somewhere else anyways
[21:48] <jeff1140> It's a NVIDIA 5200FX 256MB and my Desktop's max resolution is 1366x768
[21:48] <stedy> dabaR: yes it is, but i sudo pbuilder.. and the problem also exist in launchpad ppa..
[21:49] <dabaR> stedy: that first line is the command you use?
[21:49] <Dr_Willis> Alacard:  i think theres some plugin's for pidgin for that.. I reccomend using a better irc client however.
[21:49] <Slart> tobiasz: so open a terminal.. run "sudo service gdm stop" to stop X .. this will get you a text prompt.. now you run "sudo sh NVIDIAblablabla.run" and let it do it's thing.. make sure you have the compiler stuff setup first.. you might want to run "sudo apt-get install build-essential" before installing the nvidia driver
[21:49] <Hald> jeff1140: are you sure you have the right drivers?
[21:49] <dabaR> LeChacal: and please pastebin the output of apt-cache show grub
[21:49] <dabaR> LeChacal: also, aptitude search grub
[21:49] <jeff1140> yes
[21:49] <jeff1140> Driver 173
[21:49] <jeff1140> I go into the NVIDIA Setting and it recognizes my graphic card
[21:49] <stedy> dabaR:  sudo pbuilder build minidlna_1.0.16.3-ppa1-1.6.dsc
[21:50] <irc_newb> @guntbert what i am looking for in the log
[21:50] <guntbert> irc_newb: you look for lines from the time when you tried to log in - and succeded - and others when you didn't suceed - find any differences - the server often logs more detailed then it tells the client
[21:50] <madagascar27> i tried to make install ubuntu by CD and it messed up in the middle so now I have a 19GB partition of nothing how can I get back that space
[21:50] <Hald> jeff1140: press alt+f2 and type gksu nvidia-settings
[21:50] <LeChacal> dabaR: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m643b8731
[21:51] <jeff1140> ok
[21:51] <jeff1140> now what?
[21:51] <dabaR> stedy: LeChacal super weird.
[21:51] <dabaR> sorry stedy
[21:51] <dabaR> LeChacal: super weird. AFAICT you don't have grub 2 installed.
[21:52] <Hald> jeff1140: I have no nvidia card so I don't know what the settings are. You can't change resolution there?
[21:52] <dabaR> LeChacal: you sure you did a fresh install?
[21:52] <jeff1140> I can but my max resolution isnt listed
[21:52] <Hald> oh darn
[21:52] <Gartral> why is there no torrent link on the website?
[21:52] <Hald> what is your max res?
[21:52] <LeChacal> dabaR: yes i did a fresh install because i was waiting to do the install until i could get win7 from MSDN-AA
[21:53] <jeff1140> 1366x768 but it says that 1024x768 is my max
[21:53] <jeff1140> Hald, I got to go.  Will you be here in like an hour from now?
[21:53] <guntbert> !torrents | Gartral
[21:53] <Hald> jeff1140: yhea, maby. yell at me!
[21:54] <jeff1140> ok
[21:54] <traveler_> while doing a ./configure i get the error that "usb.h" is not found BUT libusb is installed. however, i know where lib.h is located, how can i tell this Mr ./configure?
[21:54] <Gartral> guntbert: need UNR torrent!
[21:54] <dabaR> LeChacal: try the manual edit.
[21:54] <Slart> !find usb.h
[21:54] <dabaR> Show me what you come up with before you save.
[21:55] <guntbert> Gartral: from the link you got from ubottu: http://it.releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ (way down the page)
[21:55] <Slart> traveler_: you mean libusb-dev , right?
[21:55] <traveler_> Slart: no
[21:56] <Slart> traveler_: try installing libusb-dev and see if it works then
[21:56] <mdt> Hi all ... I've got a problem with X on my laptop.  Tried to get 2 heads working -> fail.  Now I just want it back working as b4.  I put the original /etc/X11/xorg.conf file back in place but can now only start X as root.
[21:56] <QAH> If I make some modifications to ubuntu server edition to my liking, how can I create a new ubuntu server install disc that has my config on it instead of installing the default ubuntu server.
[21:56] <mdt> NO errors in log file
[21:56] <mdt> just fails
[21:57] <dabaR> LeChacal: Here is the summary of how I understand the situation: grub somehow uses the grub.cfg file instead of menu.lst, but your update-grub updates the menu.lst file instaed of the grub.cfg file.
[21:57] <mdt> ~.Xauthority files deleted before trying, btw ... so that's not the prob
[21:57] <Slart> QAH: there are some tools to create customized install discs.. and right now I can't remember the name of any of them =/
[21:57] <QAH> Slart: Oh ok
[21:57] <traveler_> Slart: what are angels like you doing in a webchat?
[21:57] <irc_newb> could this be a problem with the config file?
[21:58] <Slart> traveler_: avoiding work.. aren't we all? =)
[21:58] <traveler_> Slart: BIG thanks, u helped me alot
[21:58] <Slart> traveler_: you're welcome
[21:58] <QAH> Here is another question. How can I do an unattended install of ubuntu server (if possible)?
[21:59] <Slart> QAH: have a look at a tool called remastersys.. I'm not sure if it's up to date and so on..you'll have to check that yourself
[21:59] <mordof> how do i turn off gnome-panel?
[21:59] <irc_newb> this was in my log file /etc/log/auth.log WARNING: /etc/ssh/moduli does not exist, using fixed modulus
[21:59] <guntbert> !automate | QAH
[21:59] <mordof> just for this session i mean
[21:59] <QAH> Thanks a lot guys.
[21:59] <irc_newb> could that be anything
[21:59] <LeChacal> dabaR: i just remember that right after my install of 9.10 i was having fan problems and added "# kopt=root=UUID=xxXXX ro acpi_enforce_resources=lax" to my "/boot/grub/menu.lst" file and then did "sudo grub-update" but now i dont see that in any of my menu.lst file or its basckup. I wonder if when i did that it changed something.
[21:59] <guntbert> !who | irc_newb
[22:00] <jarray52> Alacard: Is there a list of boot configuration files and the order in which they are run on a default Ubuntu 9.10 install?
[22:00] <michael___> is there a download manager in linux like there is for windows - the one in windows i had would download from multiple sources at once - thus increasing speed  (download accelerator)
[22:00] <irc_newb> sorry
[22:00] <jarray52> Is there a list of boot configuration files and the order in which they are run on a default Ubuntu 9.10 install?
[22:00] <nellmathew> hey guys does anyone know how to make synaptic or update manager use aptitude instead of apt-get?..
[22:00] <guntbert> irc_newb: no, thats is no problem - look for "pubkey" maybe
[22:00] <dabaR> LeChacal: that does not ring any bells here. Are you gonna manually edit grub.cfg?
[22:00] <nellmathew> michael____, multiget ( sudo aptitude install multiget )
[22:00] <nellmathew> michael___, multiget ( sudo aptitude install multiget )
[22:01] <michael___> thanks nell
[22:01] <Slart> michael___: I'm not sure if there's anything of the same caliber.. we get this question every now and then and I haven't seen a really good answer to it. There are some simpler download managers.. some work as plugins in firefox.. some stand alone
[22:01] <LeChacal> dabaR: yea now i am going to just manually edit grub.cfg and see what that changes.
[22:01] <irc_newb> !guntbert i see something about the pubkey but there's no error
[22:02] <mobi-sheep> nellmathew: apt-get / aptitude is just a front-end to dpkg, I believe.
[22:02] <QAH> Slart: This remastersys thing is wonderful! But since it makes a live cd, how do I install that live cd?
[22:02] <Slart> QAH: I'm not really sure.. I haven't used it myself.. but the normal desktop install cd's are live cd's as well.. perhaps it's the same thing with this
[22:02] <mobi-sheep> Slart: The best download manager is wget, perhaps GUI wget? :)
[22:02] <QAH> Slart: Ok, but I will be using the server edition which has no desktop.
[22:02] <datz> Hi, I can't seem to find/remember keyboard shortcut to fall back to shell, anyone know?
[22:03] <QAH> Slart: So do you know how to install ubuntu manually?
[22:03] <michael___> what could be causing sda4 to be detected as (hd0,0) in grub?
[22:03] <Slart> mobi-sheep: isn't it called gwget? =)
[22:03] <soio> QAH: remastersys creates a desktop launcher named Install Custom Live that will do what you need
[22:03] <nellmathew> QAH: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[22:03] <Slart> QAH: ouch.. no, I have no idea, sorry
[22:03] <QAH> soio: Oh ok. So it automatically puts a desktop on the live cd?
[22:03] <D9> Hi, is there an EASY way to move about 50 large files between two ubuntu linux computers that are sitting next to each other and connected by a router?   or a hub i have a hub also.
[22:04] <soio> QAH: It reproduces the same system you started from
[22:04] <Slart> D9: sshfs if you have ssh setup.. or nfs.. or ftp..
[22:04] <mobi-sheep> D9: Nautilus have that "Connect To Server" feature. Ensure both machines have ssh installed.
[22:04] <Slart> D9: samba would work too.. although if both are linux systems that's a bit weird
[22:04] <QAH> soio: Ok, so since I am going to be using the server edition and I don't plan to put a desktop environment on there, I guess it will be harder to install.
[22:04] <guntbert> irc_newb: try from the end of the file towards the beginning (or you just try to ssh in *now* and look at the log file afterwards) (again from the end)
[22:05] <D9> slart, samba is terrible
[22:05] <Drknzz> Hi guys! how can i know the version of my wireless drivers and update them?
[22:05] <mobi-sheep> Slart: I discovered about samba4 recently!
[22:05] <Dr_Willis> D9:  theres also rsync
[22:05] <Slart> D9: yes.. but it works.. kind of.. sometimes at least =)
[22:05] <tsoporan1> Hello, I have this strange problem ... don't know if anyone else has had it, but whenever I try to open a secondary hard drive attached to my computer via Places or double clicking the desktop drive all my desktop icons dissapear. Trying to access it again after that from Places doesn't respond, it looks like its loading but nothing happens. Any ideas? I know thi is pretty vague ...
[22:05] <datz> Anyone know shortcut to drop gui and go to shell screen?
[22:05] <syrius> how to I keep the metadata with mp3 files when I convert them to a lower bitrate in winff?
[22:05] <Slart> mobi-sheep: samba4? new version?
[22:06] <Dr_Willis> datz:  dont want to try 'sudo service gdm stop' ?
[22:06] <jimcooncat> D9, you might as well get ssh set up. Then sshfs is easy.
[22:06] <irc_newb> guntbert: can i paste a piece of it?
[22:06] <mobi-sheep> Slart: I don't know. I haven't messed around with it but from the looks of it, it's for *nix.
[22:06] <Slart> datz: Ctrl+Alt+F1, F2, F3 and so on
[22:06] <Slart> datz: Alt+F7 to get back
[22:06] <datz> humm
[22:06] <soio> QAH: I just made my modifications starting from desktop edition installed in a virtual machine, and after that I used remastersys and now I have the file customdist.iso in which I get all my modifications. I used this iso to create a usb installation, but you're free to install it like it's a new iso ...
[22:06] <guntbert> !pastebin | irc_newb
[22:06] <mdt> Anybody know why X might fail to start when startx is run by a normal user, but starts OK when startx is run by root?
[22:07] <D9> D9 is there an easy way for a non computer expert.  A windows user.  someone who is unfamiliar with the command line.  Some one who has been messign around with samba for 3 days because i was told it is easy and could work between two linux systems.  EASY EASY, I am not a linux professional and do not want to be. I just need to move some data files from one system to another.
[22:07] <QAH> Ok thanks for the help guys
[22:07] <datz> thanks Slart
[22:07] <QAH> I am going to try everything
[22:07] <radioman-lt> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic70cVN5IdQ
[22:07] <QAH> Bye
[22:07] <Slart> mobi-sheep: hmm... well.. I think I'll stick to nfs for now.. perhaps in Ubuntu 14.04 Asthmatic Aardwaark =)
[22:07] <mordof> is there a shortcut key for launching a terminal?
[22:07] <Slart> datz: you're welcome
[22:08] <frankely> hey guys what is better install from synaptic or install a .deb package?
[22:08] <irc_newb> guntbert: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d45bab1ab
[22:08] <Slart> mordof: Alt+F2 will get you a run-dialog.. I don't think there is a shortcut to start a terminal directly
[22:08] <mdt> D9 how 'bout rsync?
[22:08] <D9> jimcooncat: can that be done in a gui?
[22:08] <guntbert> mdt: you'll have to look into the logs /var/log/Xorg.....
[22:08] <frankely> hey guys what is better (recomended) install from synaptic or install a .deb package?
[22:08] <mobi-sheep> mordof: I use Gnome-Do -- I bring it up and type "terminal'
[22:08] <Slart> mordof: you could of course create one in the compiz configuration thingy
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> mordof:   you Can make one if you are using compiz fairly easially.. or i recall normal gnome has a way to do it also
[22:08] <mordof> Slart: k, ty. disabling gnome-panel.. just trying to make sure i can still access stuff
[22:08] <D9> mdt, i have no idea, I dont know what that is or how easy it is.
[22:08] <mordof> compiz is disabled
[22:08] <mdt> guntbert: no errors at all in the logs :(
[22:08] <Slart> frankely: synaptic with the standard repos would be the easiest, I think
[22:08] <datz> Slart: know about adjusting shell text size at all?
[22:09] <jimcooncat> D9 -- I'm not sure, you could try installing openssh-server from synaptic
[22:09] <frankely> im gonna install oracle 10g, what will be the best way?
[22:09] <Slart> mordof: I'm not sure if Alt+F2 depends on the gnome-panel..
[22:09] <mdt> D9: try man rsync from a terminal window ... there are some examples in the man file ... it's very easy
[22:09] <chun> Can anyone help with the following error with apt-get update in a new karmic install? W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/Release  Unable to find expected entry  main/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[22:09] <D9> mdt does that requier a sever?
[22:10] <Slart> datz: mm.. with the old grub you added a resolution code.. something like VGA=81 (the codes are available on the net).. but with the new grub I'm not sure any more.. there's probably a way to change it somewhere
[22:10] <Dr_Willis> Grub2 has a way yiou can change the initial screen 'res' see the files /etc/default/grub  I belive
[22:10] <karma_police> i'm afraid to mess with grub.. at least grub2 anyways.. its fragile
[22:11] <datz> Slart: ok, I'm on old grub here
[22:11] <D9> slart will ssh allow me to see both drives in the file manager?
[22:11] <mdt> D9: if the 2 boxes are both on the same LAN (ie connected via a router as you say) then no ... peer to peer
[22:11] <Dr_Willis> D9:  sshfs lets you 'mount' the remote machine via ssh to a local directory.
[22:11] <guntbert> irc_newb: what I see: are you working as root (with a different name)?
[22:12] <melik> http://omploader.org/vMzJleg | :D:D:D:D finally got it to work
[22:12] <Slart> D9: sshfs will let you mount a remote folder on your own filesystem.. so you see something like /media/removedrive  that contains all the files from the remote computer
[22:12] <Slart> D9: then you can use nautilus as normal
[22:12] <Ubuntu_User> Ummm How do I find out what Graphics Card I have?
[22:12] <irc_newb> guntbert: i am using "tristan"
[22:12] <cellofellow> I just got emailed a .pmd file, which is Adobe Pagemaker. Anybody know anything that can open that?
[22:12] <Slart> Ubuntu_User: lshw -C display  might work
[22:12] <D9> slart, so I have to use the terminal to set it up?
[22:12] <dabaR> irc_newb: that is when you log in locally too?
[22:12] <nellmathew> hey guys anyone know how to find out the "recommends" of a package? not the missing recommends, just the ones that might be offered alongside a package (the package is already installed btw, i want to know what recommends were installed alongside).
[22:13] <karma_police> how do you mount a folder from your local machine so that it can be seen over a mixed(linux/windows) network?
[22:13] <irc_newb> guntbert: yes
[22:13] <Dr_Willis> karma_police:  you 'share' a directory or some how create a share. that the other machines then can access
[22:13] <Dr_Willis> !samba | karma_police
[22:13] <cellofellow> karma_police: Samba (windows networking) is best for that.
[22:13] <Slart> D9: that's the way I did it the last time.. there might be a gui way .. perhaps some kind of "connect to another computer"-wizard somewhere
[22:13] <D9> thanks Dr_Willis
[22:13] <D9> thanks slart...
[22:14] <Slart> D9: you're welcome
[22:14] <D9> will give it a try
[22:14] <Dr_Willis> D9:  the gnome connect-to-server wizard uses sftp i think.    sshfs is similer in how it works
[22:14] <karma_police> the folder i am wanting to share is about 500gb. is that still logical using samba?
[22:14] <jarray52> I believe I have a problem with gdmsetup
[22:14] <jarray52> Does anyone have experience with this file?
[22:14] <guntbert> irc_newb: you last line was probably directed at dabaR
[22:14] <Dr_Willis> karma_police:  size dosent matter.
[22:14] <karma_police> cool
[22:15] <Ubuntu_User> Ok...
[22:15] <dabaR> irc_newb: did you try with just a username and password instead of keys?
[22:15] <irc_newb> oh whoops
[22:15] <dabaR> Dr_Willis: is that what they tell you?
[22:15] <irc_newb> not yet..
[22:15] <karma_police> is there a samba gui yet? or is it all still command based?
[22:15] <dabaR> irc_newb: sounds like a problem with the key almost.
[22:15] <dabaR> But anyway, try that if you run out of ideas.
[22:15] <Dr_Willis> karma_police:  the gui'd ive seen are rather annoying.. and 'swat' has been  a gui for it for years..
[22:15] <irc_newb> dabaR: i'll try that now...
[22:15] <Dr_Willis> karma_police:  but its best to learn how to config it by hand.

[22:16] <da65> hi all
[22:16] <da65> happy holidays
[22:17] <da65> if I install bunt sever do I GET ROOT?
[22:17] <da65> opps sry for caps
[22:17] <guntbert> !enter | da65
[22:18] <guntbert> !root | da65
[22:18] <dabaR> !root | da65
[22:18] <da65> geez
[22:18] <mdt> Anybody know why X might fail to start when startx is run by a normal user, but starts OK when startx is run by root?
[22:18] <da65> lighten up
[22:18] <dabaR> mdt: permissions.
[22:18] <irc_newb> dabaR: it works fine with just using the password...
[22:18] <dabaR> irc_newb: you have to revisit your key setup, I think.
[22:18] <karma_police> matrix.. hehe
[22:18] <dabaR> irc_newb: did you follow a tutorial, or how did you set that up?
[22:18] <da65> guntbert:  go away for a bit plz
[22:19] <commodore256> 
[22:19] <guntbert> da65: ?
[22:19] <da65> deb etchserver end of life is soo
[22:19] <D9> Dr_Willis: I down loaded open ssh server and client... can't find it in the menu
[22:19] <da65> soon
[22:19] <mdt> dabaR: what permissions?  .Xauthority files removed and still does not work ... no errors in logs
[22:19] <irc_newb> dabaR: i did, sort of.. but it works when i'm logged in locally. could it be a permission issue?
[22:19] <Dr_Willis> D9:  thats because they are cli tools.
[22:19] <da65> can I get root on bunt server?
[22:19] <dabaR> mdt: well, that sounds like the kind of thing that would be caused by permissions, don't you think?
[22:20] <Dr_Willis> !ssh | D9
[22:20] <dabaR> irc_newb: dunno, what are the steps you took?
[22:20] <brody_> does someone know why when i try to edit the grub boot loader via menu.lst (/boot/grub), there is nothing in the document?  I need to clear up the boot loader after my recent install.
[22:20] <dabaR> !grub | brody_
[22:20] <dabaR> brody_: seems pretty informative.
[22:20] <irc_newb> dabaR: installed openssh-server, configured it to work only with keys....
[22:21] <da65> merry xmas all btw
[22:21] <Ubuntu_User> how do I configure my graphics...do I need to download a driver or can python do it?
[22:21] <dabaR> Heh
[22:21] <mdt> dabaR: absolutely ... I just can't find anything wrong with the permissions :(
[22:21] <Dr_Willis> brody_:  if you just did a clean install of 9.10  - you are using grub2. not grub1. there is no need for a menu.lst with grub2
[22:21] <hidalgo> hello
[22:21] <dabaR> mdt: there may be more things than just that .XAuthority
[22:21] <dabaR> like .gdm
[22:21] <dabaR> or something like that.
[22:21] <da65> guys, do I get root on server installation?
[22:22] <brody_> dabaR - thanks, i'll check that out
[22:22] <dabaR> da65: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[22:22] <da65> used deb for years
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> da65:  login as your admin user and use 'sudo' properly
[22:22] <karma_police> i did a clean install not too long ago and it didn't prompt to update grub2 till i ran the updates
[22:22] <brody_> Dr_Willis- i guess this is grub2, but it's still cluttered with other versions
[22:22] <da65> but do I get root?
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> a clean install would install grub2....
[22:22] <irc_newb> dabaR: when i setup up the server, i set it to automatically encrypt my home dir, could that be why? it can't compare the keys because they;re encrypted?
[22:22] <chun> Can anyone help with the following error with apt-get update in a new karmic install? W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/Release  Unable to find expected entry  main/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> brody_:  remove the kernels you dont want. (be carefull)
[22:23] <LeChacal> dabaR: manually editing my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file worked, ill just have to read more about the new grub and figure out why it doesn't auto update its self, thank you for helping
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> brody_:  using the package manager, or that computer-janitor tool
[22:23] <da65> ty dabar
[22:23] <Slart> da65: the default install doesn't set a password for root.. you get sudo instead.. so no.. you don't get root
[22:23] <dabaR> LeChacal: yw
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> LeChacal:  any changes to grub.cfg will get overwritten next time you run update-grub
[22:23] <da65> ok
[22:23] <mdt> dabaR: prolly ... but I can't figure out what.  And I would expect some errors in the logs indicating such.
[22:23] <dabaR> chun: what is the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list? put it on pastebin, please.
[22:23] <dabaR> mdt: do you have gdm installed?
[22:24] <Ubuntu_User> ummm did I ask a stupid question?
[22:24] <dabaR> Ubuntu_User: what exact graphics are you talking about?
[22:24] <LeChacal> Dr_Willis: i know that, and ill just have to remake the grub.cfg file if i havent found a solution by the next time a new kernel patch comes out'
[22:24] <dabaR> Ubuntu_User: not so much stupid as unclear.
[22:24] <pteague> anybody know why amarok2 can't play mp2s?
[22:24] <Ubuntu_User> overall better graphics...flip...buffering...the works
[22:24] <Slart> Ubuntu_User: perhaps you didn't give us all the details .. what version of ubuntu.. what graphics card?
[22:25] <karma_police> when i did a fresh install it prompted some grub2 menu and asked if i wanted to use grub or grub2. i know it was a fresh install also.. maybe it was just an update to grub2
[22:25] <da65> pteague: maybe your speakers not plugged in
[22:25] <dabaR> Dr_Willis: looks like they won't on his system...his update-grub is the old version that overwrites menu.lst, and yet his grub reads grub.cfg
[22:25] <dabaR> Dr_Willis: seen that before?
[22:25] <Ubuntu_User> Ubuntu 9.10 I don't have a graphics driver for my intel card...I'm relying on python
[22:25] <Slart> pteague: can you play mp2's with totem? or any other media player?
[22:25] <D9> Slart, I appreciate the help, but is there anything simple like in windows... that takes like 3 minutes.
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> dabaR:  only when someone does somtning odd like instgalls grub1 some how.
[22:25] <Slart> Ubuntu_User: python? .. now I'm confused.. how does python help?
[22:25] <da65> is bunt server ok for webserving?
[22:25] <mdt> dabaR: yeah (either that or Xdm ... whatever the Xubuntu default is)
[22:26] <dabaR> mdt: does that start?
[22:26] <dabaR> the login screen
[22:26] <pteague> da65: no, mp2s don't show up in playlist... amarok 1.4 played mp2s just fine, amarok2 doesn't seem to know what they are
[22:26] <brody_> Dr_Willis - alright, thank you, I appreciate it
[22:26] <dabaR> da65: great.
[22:26] <irc_newb> dabaR: when i setup up the server, i set it to automatically encrypt my home dir, could that be why? it can't compare the keys because they;re encrypted?
[22:26] <Slart> D9: not that I know of, sorry
[22:26] <da65> dabaR: ty
[22:26] <Ubuntu_User> well it lets me play some games and look at stuff...but is python enough?
[22:26] <dabaR> irc_newb: could be, I suppose.
[22:26] <Ubuntu_User> Do I need a driver for my graphics chip?
[22:26] <da65> pteague: make sure you have all the requires
[22:26] <mdt> dabaR: yes ... but when i try to log on as my regular user, it just goes back to the display manager logon screen after blanking for a few secs
[22:26] <karma_police> i made the mistake of trying to install win7 after ubuntu.. ofcourse my grub was deleted.. then when i re dl it it wouldn't recognize the win7
[22:26] <pteague> Slart: just uninstalled amarok14 today to try amarok2 again... amarok14 plays mp2 just fine
[22:26] <irc_newb> dabaR: so how would i fix that?
[22:27] <dabaR> mdt: so it is not X that is not starting, but rather you can't log in.
[22:27] <dabaR> X has to start for the login screen to show up.
[22:27] <pteague> da65: wouldn't aptitude/apt-get install all the requires or complain?
[22:27] <Slart> pteague: it's probably a problem with whatever back end engine amarok uses
[22:27] <mdt> dabaR: hmmm... lemme think about that
[22:27] <dabaR> irc_newb: It is beyond my experience.
[22:27] <da65> crap, deb etch ends soon and I have to change os on my servers
[22:27] <Slart> mdt: that sounds like X crashing.. it restarts and you end up at the login prompt again
[22:28] <mdt> Slart: yup that's what I think
[22:28] <dabaR> mdt: what are the permissions and ownership like on .dmrc?
[22:28] <da65> leeny does not work with Plask
[22:28] <da65> lenny
[22:28] <mdt> dabaR: sec
[22:28] <irc_newb> dabaR: ty for the insight, ill surf a little
[22:28] <mdt> dabaR: sry in middle of a reboot atm
[22:28] <karma_police> i love firefox but it seems to be luggy lately. i don't know if its flash issues or what. What browsers do u all recommend?
[22:28] <Slart> da65: this is the ubuntu support channel.. there is an offtopic channel for other stuff, #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:28] <guntbert> da65: maybe #ubuntu-server is the channel for you?
[22:28] <da65> pteague:  no, some r special Ithink
[22:29] <da65> guntbert: ty
[22:29] <Ubuntu_User> Still not clear?
[22:29] <VirusTB> whats the safest way to set up a Wifi router so none can see it but me?
[22:29] <dabaR> guntbert: :-)
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> karma_police:  go try the beta of google chrome.
[22:29] <VirusTB> how do I hide my wifi router??  something With MAC asddresses?
[22:29] <pteague> Slart: hmm... any idea how to tell which engine it uses? i'm not seeing xine or arts in the depend tree
[22:29] <VirusTB> addresses*
[22:29] <billybigrigger> anyone else have a problem launching the run dialog with alt-f2?
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> VirusTB:  most routers can hide the ssid i belive,
[22:29] <karma_police> google dpy too much.. lol
[22:29] <dabaR> VirusTB: for people not to see it in the list of avail networks?
[22:29] <karma_police> spy*
[22:29] <Slart> pteague: it's been a while since I used amarok.. I'm not really sure what it looks like these days.. sorry
[22:29] <superdump> hello, back again
[22:30] <Dr_Willis> karma_police:  whatever then.. good luck
[22:30] <karma_police> ty
[22:30] <karma_police> do you use chrome? and if so do u like it?
[22:30] <pteague> Slart: oh, what are you using?
[22:30] <guntbert> dabaR: I admit to feeling a bit mean though :-)
[22:30] <Slart> pteague: I use quod libet
[22:30] <chun> dabaR: sorry, missed your message, I've copied sources.list along with the error to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8549967#post8549967
[22:30] <Dr_Willis> karma_police:  it works very well here. It has a great many extenesions.. and i can basically replace  my firefox setup with it now.
[22:30] <mdt> dabaR: -rw-r--r--
[22:30] <dabaR> guntbert: I am still on the fence about whether he is serious.
[22:30] <VirusTB> Dr_Willis<<  dabaR  well I  got a house with 6 housemates, and I dont want em all to use my internet ( I specially bought my own internet connection becaaue I DL and Upload alot)
[22:30] <dabaR> mdt: your user the owner?
[22:30] <mdt> dabaR: chmod 77 -> same prob
[22:31] <mdt> dabaR: y
[22:31] <Dr_Willis> VirusTB:  password protect your router/SSID and hide the ssie.
[22:31] <Dr_Willis> VirusTB:  password protect your router/SSID and hide the ssid
[22:31] <Ubuntu_User> Is my problem unanswerable or something?
[22:31] <D9> is there a lap link program for linux?
[22:31] <VirusTB> Dr_Willis<<  so whats the SSID ?
[22:31] <Dr_Willis> D9:  a crossover cable (network cable) can normally work
[22:31] <superdump> http://pastebin.com/m7ad57edf     the lines between 166208-166218 kernel uptime are when i echo -n 3 to /proc/acpi/sleep  and the lines that follow are when i select suspend from the menu in karmic
[22:31] <Slart> VirusTB: get a router what does some good encryption.. use a good password/passphrase.. then it won't matter if it doesn't advertise itself
[22:31] <mdt> Ubuntu_User: sry ... what was the Q?
[22:31] <guntbert> dabaR: I decide twice *not* to report him as troll
[22:31] <Dr_Willis> VirusTB:  time to read up and learn about wireelss.. thates the 'network name'
[22:31] <Dr_Willis> !wireless
[22:31] <guntbert> *decided
[22:32] <D9> Dr_Willis: that is the physical connection, what about the software to make it work?
[22:32] <Dr_Willis> D9:  ssh can transfer, or other ways.. no need for special softare
[22:32] <VirusTB> Dr_Willis<<  sorry I know what SSid is (the name you see when you scan for wifi access points)
[22:32] <heoa> ewook: How can I configure the settings in Ubuntu, similarly as in Archlinux, just /etc/rc.conf? grawity:
[22:32] <Ubuntu_User> Is python enough or do I need the Driver for my Chip?
[22:32] <VirusTB> Dr_Willis<<  but if I hide it/ how will my PC connect to it?
[22:32] <superdump> it seems like suspend from the menu isn't issuing the right signals or something
[22:33] <D9> Dr_Willis: I looked at the directions... it is very complex for someone that does not know linux, and has never used the terminal.
[22:33] <VirusTB> Slart<< Well I  just got a old crappy $20 wifi router :S
[22:33] <Alacard> alright, if anyone wants to help a noobie w/ an install, I would greatly appreciate it
[22:33] <VirusTB> Alacard<<  whats you installing
[22:33] <RanyAlbeg> Hi all , suddenly im not able to see all the high resultions in Preferences->Display. i just see a grey rectangle that covers them. i plugged my laptop to with hdmi to LG screen and played with the resultions to see what is best and suddenly i can see only low resolutions. can tyou help? thanks
[22:33] <karma_police> you have to specify
[22:33] <dabaR> chun: your problem is likely temporary.
[22:33] <Alacard> 8.04.3, I have 2 phystical drives
[22:34] <Slart> VirusTB: ouch.. hiding your SSID won't help you much then.. it's like locking your door with piece of string and then remove the name plate on the door..
[22:34] <bluesign> hi, i need some help on setting jabber server on ubuntu
[22:34] <lampliter> I installed unattended-upgrades as documented in https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/automatic-updates.html
[22:34] <Alacard> I am putting / on one and /home on the other, GRUB begins to load then errors out
[22:34] <Ubuntu_User> Ummm Can Python completely take the place of  a Graphics Driver or do you still need a Graphics driver?
[22:35] <dabaR> chun: although I am not experiencing it.
[22:35] <Slart> Ubuntu_User: no, yes
[22:35] <dabaR> chun: try again.
[22:35] <D9> Dr_Willis: ubuntu looks so good, I am shocked there is not a GUI for this kind of thing.  I know you linux guys love the technical stuff, but if your going to put out a great program like ubuntu, that is basically an excellent point and click os, why not finish the job. I guess there will be more GUI's for all the tools in a few years.
[22:35] <lampliter> but it's not automatically installing packages
[22:35] <VirusTB> Dr_Willis<<  ok  question wheny I plug my LAN cable in I always get two options "Auto eth0" and "Auto Ethernet"
[22:35] <Iowan> Ubuntu_User: You are not ignored... I suspect you will need a driver, but Can't say I'm familiar with a Python driver
[22:35] <VirusTB> Slart<<   I think its WEP :S  should I get a router that WPA2 ?? or WPA ???
[22:35] <Slart> D9: they are adding gui stuff for all kinds of stuff.. but lately it seems they are focusing more on having spinning cubes and animated backgrounds
[22:36] <chun> dabaR: no luck. Been trying for the past 2 days, and it works fine on my laptop. Just not on this machine...
[22:36] <Slart> VirusTB: yes.. WEP will take minutes to crack with a modern computer
[22:36] <Alacard> 2 physical drives, one has / & swap while other has /home, any thoughts?  Errors on grub
[22:36] <RanyAlbeg> Hi all , suddenly im not able to see all the high resultions in Preferences->Display. i just see a grey rectangle that covers them. i plugged my laptop to with hdmi to LG screen and played with the resultions to see what is best and suddenly i can see only low resolutions. can tyou help? thanks
[22:36] <mdt> dabaR: I've been thinking about what u said re: logging on -vs- starting server.  I think the problem is that a non-root user cannot start X.  gdm is run with root priv's is it not?
[22:36] <D9> Slart... LOL  yea, thats all cool, but Give me the functionality.
[22:37] <Slart> D9: =)
[22:37] <VirusTB> slart ok  question wheny I plug my LAN cable in I always get two options "Auto eth0" and "Auto Ethernet"
[22:37] <Frizzix> Hello i'm from Italy
[22:38] <VirusTB> Frizzix<<  hello Im from Africa :P
[22:38] <Ubuntu_User> Ummm isn't Python there by default when you install ubuntu?
[22:38] <Frizzix> may i use web cam on my asus eee pc 1000 with xubuntu
[22:38] <Frizzix> ?????????
[22:38] <Slart> VirusTB: hmm..I only get auto eth0.. not sure what auto ethernet is about
[22:38] <Ubuntu_User> Isn't Python there by default when you install ubuntu?
[22:38] <Alacard> Ubuntu 8.04.3, Won't boot after full install, it's like GRUB can't point to the file system.  Any thoughts?
[22:39] <Maletor> Does anybody have any idea why I have to go to Preferences -> NVIDIA X Server Settings every time I restart my computer to refresh my overscan settings?
[22:39] <VirusTB> @ when  I plug my LAN cable in I always get two options "Auto eth0" and "Auto Ethernet"
[22:39] <mdt> Ubuntu_User: Python is a programming language.  A python interpreter is installed by default when u install ubuntu.
[22:39] <Maletor> It is getting annoying. Actually the overscan issue as a whole is annoying. How do I fix this without using overscan compensation?
[22:39] <dtownhero> Maletor: use gksudo nvidia-settings apply your changes and that should work
[22:39] <Iowan> Ubuntu_User: Python seems to be  necessary, yes.
[22:40] <hkwhat> teach me python
[22:40] <VirusTB> Slart<<  question... when you plug in a LAN cable and you get a green light , that means it has internet cnnectivity right??
[22:40] <YouMust> how do i unbind/unmount a directory?
[22:40] <Slart> VirusTB: the green light on the network card itself?
[22:41] <dtownhero> VirusTB: it means you have connectivity to whatever the other side of the cable is plugged in
[22:41] <mdt> YouMust: umount <dir>
[22:41] <VirusTB> Slart<<  I just moved into a new student room, and I see a ethernet cable, anbd pluggged it itn, but no signs of connecttity
[22:41] <mdt> YouMust: see man umount for details
[22:41] <VirusTB> dtownhero<<  thnks
[22:41] <Slart> VirusTB: I think that just means your cable is connected properly.. I doubt it checks anything more sophisticated than that
[22:41] <YouMust> mdt: thx doh xD
[22:41] <Maletor> dtownhero, ok i did that. It seemed to have just launched the NVIDIA X Server Settings GUI
[22:41] <dtownhero> Maletor: yes, this will allow you to apply the changes as root, then reboot and it should have kept the settings.
[22:42] <koen_> greetings ppl :) , i have a question for you guys  you have locations where u can add various places.. so.. i added my whole music list accidentaly.. and i can just remove them seperatly .. and its alot of music..:/ how can i delete the list in the mass ? Shift button doesnt work
[22:42] <VirusTB> Slart<<  thanks got the answer from dtownhero  :P  I guess I need to check where the cable leads to and what its connected to
[22:42] <Maletor> dtownhero, thank you
[22:42] <dtownhero> np
[22:43] <hkwhat> what room helps me learn code
[22:43] <Maletor> dtownhero, that did not work
[22:44] <dtownhero> Maletor: ok, let's take a step back then. What is overscanning and why do you have to keep doing it?
[22:44] <mdt> dabaR: Maybe not ... perhaps the server starts OK, then crashes when trying to authenticate a non-root client.  If it crashes bad enough maybe it dies before it can log anything.
[22:45] <VirusTB> Slart<<   128 bit  passprase is 10 characters right?
[22:45] <farhad> hello!i have installed ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix on my eeepc 900. i found an annoying bug: when i shift to terminal (ctrl+alt+f[1-6]) and return again on X, keyboard doesn't work anymore. how can i suggest this bug to developers?is it a know bug?thank you
[22:46] <Ubuntu_User> Ok...But I can't configure graphics unless I get a Driver?
[22:46] <koen_> someone have an idea for my problem?
[22:46] <Slart> VirusTB: ahm..  I would guess something like 8 bits per character.. but I'm not sure you can count like that
[22:46] <Alacard> ﻿Ubuntu 8.04.3, Won't boot after full install, it's like GRUB can't point to the file system.  Any thoughts?
[22:47] <Maletor> overscanning is when i plug my computer into my vizio 37" a border of about 100px is blocked out from visible
[22:47] <VirusTB> Slart<<  ok hold up,  I got a little issue connecting with my ubuntu wifi... on this PC the wifi connnects( this pc is windows)
[22:47] <Maletor> so i can't see task bar etc.
[22:47] <VirusTB> Slart<<  whats LEAP /Dynmic WEP ?
[22:48] <dtownhero> Maletor: ahh it sounds like your monitor has a video resolution that your card is not supporting?
[22:48] <dtownhero> perhaps that is why you need it, when you saved the changes in the gksudo nvidia-settings can you see them writing to xorg.conf?
[22:48] <BluesKaj> Ubuntu_User, do you know what graphics card , if not , lspci | grep VGA
[22:48] <Maletor> sort of..... i mean it's a vx37l
[22:49] <Maletor> it should be able to handle it...
[22:49] <Juzzy> I'm trying to setup my own repo, and for some reason apt-ftparchive generate /etc/apt/apt-ftparchive.conf is saying i have a corrupt package (which it's not) must be a checkup error somewhere, any ideas where to start on something like this?
[22:49] <mazda01> how do i unfreeze cairo-dock?
[22:49] <dtownhero> depends on the video card honestly
[22:49] <Juzzy> erm checksum
[22:49] <Slart> VirusTB: I have no idea.. you might want to look that up on wikipedia or similar
[22:49] <dtownhero> here is what you'll want to do
[22:49] <nellmathew> hey anyone who uses aptitude and has done a minimal iso / netinst : should sudo aptitude keep-all be my very first command on a bare system? or does it not matter?
[22:50] <mazda01> all animation has seised and when I try to add xchat app from gnome menu, it doesn't add it. i know i can pgrep cairo-dock, kill it, then restart it but hoping for smoother solution
[22:50] <Alacard> ﻿Ubuntu 8.04.3, Won't boot after full install, it's like GRUB can't point to the file system.  Any thoughts?
[22:50] <BluesKaj> nellmathew,  aptitude is broken atm , use apt-get instead
[22:50] <nellmathew> BluesKaj, thanks
[22:50] <gaby_> kikio@hotmail.com
[22:50] <dtownhero> Maletor: do this, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.txt
[22:51] <dtownhero> the txt file will be your base to see if changes are taking place
[22:51] <VirusTB> how do I delet an WIFI that I created :S
[22:51] <dtownhero> then run the gksudo nvidia-settings again
[22:51] <dtownhero> save and apply your changes to xorg.conf
[22:51] <VirusTB>  I turned my ubuntu laptop Wifi into a access point( so my iphone cant connect to the internet) how do I remove this Wifi access pointi created ?
[22:51] <dtownhero> go back and compare the two files line by line and make sure the changes took place, in theory anything you do with gksudo nvidia-settings should write to the file, but you may have to delete it if they are not changing
[22:52] <dtownhero> does that make sense?
[22:52] <VirusTB> n/m found it
[22:52] <dtownhero> hopefully it does because I'm getting ready to head out
[22:53] <hkwhat> any one know how to get into control panel for chrome os
[22:54] <BluesKaj> depending on xorg to save your settings is iffy , dtownhero the kernel source driver is more important
[22:54] <Maletor> dtownhero, they are exactly the same
[22:55] <Maletor> however, the xorg.conf file does not mention anything about overscan compensation
[22:56] <Lenin_Cat> firefox is segment faulting and yes I tryed reinstalling
[22:56] <BluesKaj> Maletor, make sure you have the correct driver installed for your graphics card.
[22:56] <Maletor> BluesKaj, i'm positive - i just updated to the latest yesterday
[22:56] <Maletor> it's version 190.53 for my nvidia 9 series (9800gtx+)
[22:57] <dtownhero> Maletor: I think your best bet then is backing up xorg.conf to xorg.conf.back
[22:57] <dtownhero> and then deleting it
[22:57] <dtownhero> deleting xorg.conf
[22:57] <JAMD456> Can someone help me fix the boot up screen to the default Ubuntu one? I installed Kubuntu desktop and my boot up splash screen changed also
[22:57] <Maletor> i already have a file called xorg.conf.backup
[22:57] <dtownhero> then running gksudo nvidia-settings again
[22:57] <BluesKaj> Maletor, are you running a large fancy screen ?
[22:57] <Maletor> BluesKaj, it's a vizio 37" vx37l
[22:57] <mazda01> i am running nvidia 185.18.36 with a nvidia 6200, i have extra composting enabled and my cairo-dock keeps freezing. is there anything in my xorg.conf i should have to make cairo-dock run smoother
[22:58] <Lenin_Cat> firefox is segment faulting and yes I tryed reinstalling
[22:59] <VirusTB> IS THERE  away ro encrypt the data my browser uses ( im on a public wifi network and I want to do some bank transactions)  ??
[22:59] <BluesKaj> Maletor, try this in the terminal , nvidia-xconfig
[23:00] <antlarr> anybody has experience with bluetooth & hci devices ?
[23:00] <Maletor> running gksudo nvidia-settings did not replace my xorg.conf
[23:00] <Maletor> should i cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf ??
[23:00] <antlarr> hciconfig hci0 up doesn't get it up
[23:01] <mazda01> Maletor, run, sudo nvidia-config or something like that
[23:01] <BluesKaj> Maletor, not necessary
[23:01] <mazda01> Maletor, nevermind, wasn't sure what you were trying
[23:01] <marcules> Frohe Weihnachten!
[23:01] <Maletor> what's the init.d to restart X
[23:01] <Maletor> so i don't have to restart
[23:02] <bastid_raZor> Maletor: if you're using gdm .. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[23:02] <VirusTB> IS THERE  away ro encrypt the data my browser uses ( im on a public wifi network and I want to do some bank transactions)  ??
[23:02] <halvor> bye

[23:03] <Alacard> ﻿Ubuntu 8.04.3, Won't boot after full install, it's like GRUB can't point to the file system.  Any thoughts?
[23:03] <Maletor> but! as soon as i go to prefs -> nvidia x server settings it fixes things and i don't have to touch anything
[23:03] <JAMD456>  Can someone help me fix the boot up screen to the default Ubuntu one? I installed Kubuntu desktop alongside Gnome and my boot up splash screen changed to Kubuntu rather then leaving the Ubuntu splash screen in place
[23:03] <goedecke> because 1 have 2 ethernet cards an if i conect the lan card i can't have internet in the server or in the lan
[23:03] <Maletor> it's as if overscan compensation isn't being written anywhere
[23:03] <VirusTB> ok.....
[23:03] <mobi-sheep> VirusTB: If you're using https protocol for bank transactions, you are okay. https == HTTP SECURE.

[23:06] <No> server irc.efnet.pl
[23:06] <Guest37536> i have a ubuntu 9.04
[23:06] <koshari> Otacon22 you can just use gnome twinview and a split workspace.
[23:07] <Otacon22> i've already seen
[23:07] <Otacon22> but it is not what i want to do
[23:07] <obiwan_> hi guys, please, could anybody type ctrl-s ls in terminal? it's supposed to run forward-i-search but it doesn't. ctrl-r works though, idk why but this happened me at any linux computer i tried
[23:07] <Otacon22> i want to use one workspace for monitor
[23:07] <Otacon22> it is possibile with awesome and fluxbox..
[23:07] <Otacon22> not with gnome.
[23:08] <eboyjr> Hello :) I have Ubuntu Desktop and I want a window to come up at a certain time (10:00 PM) saying that the computer will shutdown in 60 seconds. The same window that comes up when you click on your username in the top right and select Shut Down. Does anyone have any solutions?
[23:08] <Maletor> anybody?
[23:08] <koshari> Otacon22 so whats the diff othr than having the panel available on both screens?
[23:09] <tsoporan1> Hello, I have this strange problem ... don't know if anyone else has had it, but whenever I try to open a secondary hard drive attached to my computer via Places or double clicking the desktop drive all my desktop icons dissapear. Trying to access it again after that from Places doesn't respond, it looks like its loading but nothing happens. Any ideas? I know thi is pretty vague ...
[23:10] <Guest37536> iwho could help me with my skype video problem?i have a ubuntu 9.04. It is very important for me, cose i can't get in touch with my mother cose she would like to see my kids
[23:11] <VirusTB> mobi-sheep<<   so once I use HTTPS im 100% safe even if on the WIFI and a locak Starbucks ??
[23:11] <cellofellow> tsoporan1: looks like nautilus is crashing
[23:11] <cellofellow> tsoporan1: what kind of drive is it?
[23:11] <mobi-sheep> VirusTB: All banks should be using https by default.
[23:11] <tsoporan1> cellofellow: its a hard drive ... or did you mean brand?
[23:12] <VirusTB> mobi-sheep<<  yes all banks do use it, but what about  email?  I just set my gmail to always use HTTPS .. and facebook??
[23:12] <cellofellow> tsoporan1: is it an internal drive or a USB drive? What format is it?
[23:12] <tsoporan1> cellofellow: Its a Western Digital 1TB drive, internal, EXT4
[23:12] <tsoporan1> It's been working fine until about 3 days ago.
[23:12] <ivy> how do I stop nm-applet from asking for my password every time I log in!?
[23:13] <cellofellow> tsoporan1: probably better to mount it with /etc/fstab than with the gnome volume manager.
[23:13] <ivy> it is doing my head in
[23:13] <tsoporan1> cellofellow: it is mounted by fstab
[23:13] <cellofellow> tsoporan1: oh
[23:13] <tsoporan1> cellofellow: my entry is: /dev/sdb1 /media/Secondary ext4 defaults 0 2  -- I think that is right? It's been a while.
[23:13] <mobi-sheep> VirusTB: Okay. If it is using https, then everything will be encrypted. The other side of the party have a certificate. Also, I don't know about Facebook.
[23:14] <cellofellow> tsoporan1: you could run nautilus from the command line (first kill it with pkill) .
[23:14] <cellofellow> tsoporan1: your fstab is good, nautilus is being a bother though.
[23:14] <tsoporan1> cellofellow: opening it from nautilus just prints out "Segmentation Fault"
[23:15] <cellofellow> tsoporan1: installed any nautilus extensions lately?
[23:15] <tsoporan1> Haven't touched anything, just periodic updates. :/
[23:15] <cellofellow> :/
[23:15] <tsoporan1> Actually just before it says seg fault it sas "intializing nautilus-gdu extension"
[23:15] <Alacard> I am running ﻿Ubuntu 8.04.3 & it won't boot after full install, it's like GRUB can't point to the file system.  Any thoughts would be appreciated
[23:15] <cellofellow> Segmentation faults aren't fun.
[23:16] <VirusTB> uhm question.. does BlackBerry pin require your phone to have internet (3g) ??
[23:17] <cellofellow> tsoporan1: that's not good, though I'm not sure what that extension does mine loads it just fine.
[23:17] <Zeelot> hey guys, my pages are taking really long to resolve, this is what my network/interfaces file looks like http://pastebin.com/m6da7106a , what could be wrong?
[23:17] <Zeelot> anyone know?
[23:18] <Taim> Zeelot: you have comcast?
[23:18] <Zeelot> no
[23:18] <Zeelot> dsl here at work
[23:18] <Zeelot> not sure what it is
[23:18] <mobi-sheep> Zeelot: Could be the DNS or you have too many Firefox extensions (firefox-bugs)
[23:19] <Zeelot> I'm using chrome
[23:19] <cellofellow> DNS resolving is /etc/resolv.conf, doesn't have much to do with your interfaces.
[23:19] <tsoporan1> cellofellow: I found a fix, which worked.
[23:19] <Zeelot> ok let me check the file 1 sec
[23:19] <Maletor> is there any way to install windows 7 from Ubuntu. I want to do this because my biggest flash drive is 2gb (Windows install = 3gb) and I don't have optical drive.
[23:19] <cellofellow> tsoporan1: oh, good
[23:19] <jagjr> hi
[23:19] <mordof> looked up a wiki guide for installing fglrx.. it no longer has the info for 9.04, anyone know a link for it?
[23:19] <jagjr> does anyone speak german here?
[23:20] <cellofellow> !de
[23:20] <Zeelot> should I edit that file if it's wrong? cellofellow?
[23:20] <jagjr> not for help
[23:20] <cellofellow> Zeelot: no
[23:20] <tsoporan1> cellofellow: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8353530&postcount=6 -- if you're intrested.
[23:20] <Zeelot> how should I fix it?
[23:20] <nellmathew> anyone know how to add the new "ppa:" sources using terminal/cli?
[23:20] <cellofellow> Zeelot: how is your NIC configured?
[23:20] <Zeelot> what do you mean? I'm not sure
[23:20] <mobi-sheep> nellmathew: add-apt-repository <ppa>
[23:20] <Zeelot> I never edited anything
[23:20] <nellmathew> thanks mobi-sheep!
[23:21] <cellofellow> Zeelot: do you use network manager or ifupdown?
[23:21] <jas72z> fglrx is easy to install through the terminal
[23:21] <Zeelot> whatever is used by default
[23:21] <cellofellow> Zeelot: that's network manager. So, it's a dynamic IP address?
[23:21] <Zeelot> yea it's a cheap router in the office
[23:22] <Zeelot> the dsl line is a static IP though
[23:22] <cellofellow> Zeelot: cheap router might be overloaded.
[23:22] <Zeelot> the other computers are fine
[23:22] <Zeelot> it's just this linux pc
[23:22] <cellofellow> Zeelot: what does `time host google.com` show? how slow is it really?
[23:22] <NManoogian> Is it possible to get Mac's Garageband on Ubuntu? Had tried OS x 86 but it appears that I'm out of primary partitions.
[23:22] <empemp> i have an egalax touchscreen.   but in normal mode it won't click, any ideas? it should register a click on touch and a click on release
[23:23] <cellofellow> Zeelot: how's its speed compare to just pinging your router?
[23:23] <Zeelot> real	0m1.747s
[23:23] <Maletor> Is there any way to install windows 7 from Ubuntu. I want to do this because my biggest flash drive is 2gb (Windows install = 3gb) and I don't have optical drive.
[23:24] <Zeelot> going to local pages (local dev server) it's really fast
[23:24] <Zeelot> like 10 times faster
[23:24] <cellofellow> Zeelot: is your DNS server the same box as your gateway?
[23:24] <sync3times> Zeelot, do you have primary and secondary nameservers defined?
[23:24] <Zeelot> sync3times: where?
[23:24] <rw> Maletor: check out Virtualbox
[23:24] <cellofellow> Zeelot: can you pastebin your /etc/resolv.conf?
[23:24] <sync3times> /etc/resolv.conf
[23:24] <rw> it will allow you to install Windows inside Ubuntu
[23:24] <manbra> What does section "serverlayout" do
[23:24] <Zeelot> cellofellow: yea I suppose
[23:24] <rw> don't try it on a low end pc
[23:24] <manbra> in the xorg
[23:25] <aliendude5300> Hi, I managed to break my Xorg.conf file, and I have no backup. I'm stuck in Failsafe VESA mode, and I was wondering how I can fix the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver
[23:25] <Zeelot> http://pastebin.com/m325cb208
[23:25] <Zeelot> cellofellow sync3times the nameserver is wrong I think
[23:25] <Zeelot> it should be 1.1
[23:25] <sync3times> aliendude5300,  X -configure will generate a new xorg
[23:25] <cellofellow> Zeelot: that's odd
[23:25]  * aliendude5300 tried to follow a guide on the internet to upgrade mesa to get OpenGL 2, but he broke everything... :(
[23:26] <coldman9> hello
[23:26] <empemp> i have an egalax touchscreen.   but in normal mode it won't click, any ideas? it should register a click on touch and a click on release
[23:26] <cellofellow> Zeelot: this resolv.conf file is generated by network-manager according to data it receives from the DHCP server (most likely the router).
[23:26] <Zeelot> hmm
[23:26] <aliendude5300> sync3times, http://pastebay.com/78275
[23:26] <cellofellow> Zeelot: the router seems to be misconfigured to give 192.168.0.1 instead of 192.168.1.1.
[23:26] <aliendude5300> Thats the error I get when running that command
[23:26] <sync3times> Zeelot, but you can change it and the results are in realtime without rebooting
[23:26] <aliendude5300> It was run as root by the way.
[23:26] <Zeelot> alright I will try
[23:26] <Zeelot> thanks
[23:27] <mobi-sheep> cellofellow: Depends on the router. Some router are 192.168.1.1 -- The others are 192.168.0.1
[23:27] <cellofellow> Zeelot: so what happens is your system waits for 192.168.0.1 to time out before going to the backup internet server.
[23:27] <Maletor> When I try to format my 250gb harddrive as NTFS i get an error: cannot spawn 'mkntfs -f /dev/sdb1': Failed to execute child process mkntfs no such file or directory
[23:27] <cellofellow> mobi-sheep: he said it should be 1.1
[23:27] <mobi-sheep> cellofellow: Oh I didn't see that.
[23:28] <sync3times> aliendude5300,  its becuase you are already running X.   can you boot up just to text mode?
[23:28] <aliendude5300> I'll try, do I have to do a full reboot, or can I kill X with Alt-SysRq-K?
[23:29] <sync3times> aliendude5300, dunno.  on fedora i would tell you to just type init 3,  but ubuntu has different runlevels
[23:29] <sryque> aliendude5300: switch runlevels and kill X
[23:29] <sync3times> which sucks by the way
[23:30] <Maletor> When I try to format my 250gb harddrive as NTFS from disk utility, I get an error: cannot spawn 'mkntfs -f /dev/sdb1': Failed to execute child process mkntfs no such file or directory

[23:38] <sync3times> ubottu, don't call me Dave
[23:38] <sepidev> hey, by the way... i have a big problem with my ubuntu 9.10
[23:39] <sepidev> it is the ugly font rendering
[23:39] <sync3times> sepidev, you have fonts?  Cool!
[23:39] <sepidev> no,no. i mean font rendering in my ubu9.10 is ugly
[23:40] <sepidev> but is was great when i used ubu9.04
[23:40] <VirusTB> how do I install Pidign themes on Windows ??
[23:40] <sync3times> sepidev, maybe its falling back to default fonts.  Maybe you dont have the ones you need installed?
[23:40] <eboyjr> When my system gets a shutdown message (For example to shutdown in X seconds) how can Ubuntu alert me when I am logged into a GNOME session?
[23:40] <VirusTB> how do I install Pidign themes on Windows ?? <, guifications **
[23:40] <sepidev> so, what should i do?
[23:40] <Alacard> ﻿I am running ﻿Ubuntu 8.04.3 & it won't boot after full install, it's like GRUB can't point to the file system.  Any thoughts would be appreciated
[23:40] <iceroot> VirusTB: ##windows
[23:41] <sepidev> sync ..., do u know the solution?
[23:41] <somebodyelse> I configured this computer running Ubuntu to auto mount a 2nd internal hard drive.  I see in /etc/fstab that the line for the second hard drive does not have UUID= information associated with it.  I am assuming not having this information is why in the desktop gui environment I am unable to access the drive via gui (e.g. in Computer file browser).  Would specifying the UUID value make this available in gui?   If so, how can I determin
[23:41] <somebodyelse> e or find the UUID value for the particular hard drive device?
[23:42] <erUSUL> !uuid
[23:42] <sepidev> urggggg....
[23:42] <sync3times> somebodyelse, But its mounted and you can see it in the output of the mount command?
[23:43] <sepidev> hey sync... can you give me a hint about that
[23:43] <sepidev> ?
[23:44] <BlueDog> some brazilian here??
[23:44] <sync3times> sepidev, Its hard.   What application looks bad, what font are you trying to use.  If its firefox, you may not know what font its trying to use.... its a hard question to work on remotely
[23:45] <sepidev> ok ,....
[23:45] <VirusTB> how do I install Pidign themes on Windows ?? <, guifications **
[23:45] <sepidev> it is a global problem
[23:45] <sepidev> i mean all fonts look bad
[23:46] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I would like to confirm something.  `blkid` indicates a partition is ext3, but I am able to mount it successfully as ext4.  This is not my computer, but I believe the partition is ext4.  Is `blkid` simply not showing ext4 because it doesn't know or did it calculate the partition to be ext3?
[23:46] <sepidev> most particularly when i use firefox
[23:46] <sepidev> but my desktop looks bad too
[23:46] <sepidev> i changed the font, but to success
[23:47] <sync3times> somebodyelse, blkid is new for me.   I asked if your drive was mounted, and you did not answer
[23:47] <rw> sepidev:  gnome-look.org (but beware of the malware on that site)
[23:47] <sepidev> malware ...?
[23:48] <rw> yup
[23:48] <rw> read the scripts, check the deb files before installing
[23:48] <sepidev> ok
[23:48] <VirusTB> how do I install Pidign themes on Windows ?? <, guifications **
[23:48] <somebodyelse> sync3times, Yes, I can see the output of the 2nd drive from `mount`
[23:48] <rw> better yet, avoid the deb files
[23:48] <sepidev> i'll do it
[23:48] <BlueDog> some brazilian here??
[23:49] <sepidev> is there any issue with deb files?
[23:49] <rw> BlueDog: #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:49] <sync3times> somebodyelse, But it does not show up in the gui?
[23:49] <somebodyelse> sync3times, It does not show up in gui
[23:49] <ipatrol> How can I print text and graphics from a program?
[23:49] <rw> sepidevl: a few days ago it was discovered that a deb file on gnome-look containted malware for Ubuntu
[23:49] <aintaer> Guys I have a problem, when I came home today my wifi suddenly became unavailable
[23:49] <rw> loads of people were infected
[23:50] <aintaer> Network Manager says Wireless is disabled
[23:50] <somebodyelse> sync3times, http://pastebin.com/de2b0e0c /dev/sdb is 2nd hard drive
[23:50] <sepidev> oh.
[23:50] <aintaer> with no rhyme or reason why it should be, since it was just working at my workplace
[23:50] <BlueDog> [rw]: ok.. only wld like support in portuguese
[23:50] <sepidev> what if i use a virus scanner?
[23:50] <ipatrol> !print
[23:50] <sepidev> would it work?
[23:50] <rw> sepidev: I doubt it
[23:50] <aintaer> What would cause my wireless to become unavailable?
[23:51] <sync3times> somebodyelse, does anything get listed in that blkid command?
[23:51] <sepidev> so lets dismiss it
[23:51] <ipatrol> what's cups?
[23:51] <somebodyelse> sync3times, yep http://pastebin.com/d182e6b7c
[23:51] <rw> aintaer: check if the wifi switch on the laptop isn't turned off, my god I had that happen before and spend hours trying to trouble shoot
[23:51] <rw> ipatrol: printing software
[23:51] <aintaer> I did several times, rw
[23:51] <aintaer> The wifi switch is on
[23:51] <somebodyelse> hmm, maybe it is an issue with ext3/ext4
[23:51] <aintaer> I rebooted and checked the bios
[23:51] <sepidev> i've never ever dreamed of malware in linux?
[23:52] <aintaer> the bios said the wifi is enabled
[23:52] <ipatrol> rw: elaborate/link?
[23:52] <sync3times> somebodyelse, so why dont you put the UUID into fstab and see if it will mount that way
[23:52] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I did
[23:52] <rw> sepidev: it's not that hard. When you install a deb file you give it root access. If the guy who made the deb file put nasty code in it, you're screwed
[23:52] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I then unmounted and remounted it successfully and still nada
[23:52] <Ben64> i have a text file that is one line, 1000003 characters. How can I insert an <enter> every (n)th character?
[23:52] <sync3times> somebodyelse, reboot after the change?
[23:53] <rw> ipartol: google
[23:53] <somebodyelse> sync3times, O_O reboot?  Are you sure?
[23:53] <kensanata> Is there a successor to xfontsel that I should be using?
[23:53] <obiwan_> hi guys, please, could anybody type ctrl-s ls in terminal? it's supposed to run forward-i-search but it doesn't. ctrl-r works though, idk why but this happened me at any linux computer i tried
[23:53] <manbra> I am dealing with the touchpad problem with eeepc's.  I have SHM config to true, and gsynaptics installed.  The touchpad works in the prefs.  But, when I do sudo gsynaptics in terminal
[23:53] <sepidev> :(
[23:53] <manbra> ** (gsynaptics:5027): WARNING **: Using synclient
[23:53] <manbra> comes up
[23:53] <sync3times> somebodyelse, no.  But if it mounts correctly with a  mount -a   command, then you should be good to reboot.
[23:53] <ipatrol> Where is the man for python-cups?
[23:54] <manbra> any ideas what to do next?
[23:54] <shashike> hello  all!!!!
[23:54] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I meant to imply questioningly if it was necessary to reboot.  Perhaps it is just as feasible to restart X or simply log out and back into Gnome?
[23:54] <rw> sepidev: that's why it's adviced to use trusted repositories. Anything you install from synaptic, software center is trusted and checked for malware by Ubuntu itself.
[23:54] <shashike> will  norton antivirus 2009 work under wine??
[23:54] <sync3times> obiwan_, ctrl-s in a terminal is supposed to apply flow control and stop output.
[23:54] <aintaer> This is really maddening
[23:54] <aintaer> The wireless device seems to be present
[23:54] <aintaer> it loads the drivers
[23:55] <aintaer> except the interfaces are not brought up
[23:55] <obiwan_> sync3times: that's now what man bash and many webs say, but anyway it doesn't stop flow either
[23:55] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I will experiment a bit and see what I can come up with.  I will be back.  Thanks for assistance
[23:55] <sepidev> ok. hey i install some of my app from this wesite: Appnr.
[23:55] <sepidev> is it trusted or not?
[23:55] <aintaer> Also now that I look at it, there's a new vboxnet0 device that I've not seen before
[23:55] <sync3times> obiwan_, works for me
[23:56] <aintaer> oh that's just virtualbox
[23:56] <Slart> !info couchdb
[23:57] <obiwan_> sync3times: line 2969 man bash: forward-search-history (C-s)
[23:57] <obiwan_> it's supposed to do that, i'm using bash at my term
[23:57] <diskin> Ben64, something like perl -pne 's/(.{3})/\n$1/g;' file
[23:58] <obiwan_> and what do you mean with stop flow, prevent info from entering my terminal?
[23:58] <Ben64> diskin: cool
[23:58] <karma_police> quick question: is there a way to use google chrome incognito as default?
[23:58] <sync3times> obiwan_,   ctrl-s will stop the terminal from streaming output
[23:58] <karma_police> i know how to do it in windows but can't figure it out in ubuntu
[23:58] <diskin> Ben64, it leaves some unprocessed at the end, needs more debugging
[23:59] <BoriTori> is there a command line tool to watermark videos ? i need to run this on my server, so no gui.
[23:59] <sync3times> obiwan_, its a  software flow control  special character that is interpreted by the pty device driver.   The pty device driver should then put the terminal to sleep
[23:59] <Ben64> BoriTori: mencoder can do it
[23:59] <obiwan_> ok sync3times thanks, and could you tell me where i can get a man explaining such things?
[23:59] <BoriTori> Ben64: doesn't mencoder convert the video ? i want to leave the video as it is. just add watermark to it.
