[00:00] <sync3times> obiwan_,  Well documentation for tty device drivers is kept in the Hades library.
[00:00] <utrrrongeeb> obiwan_: Not sure if you've already heard this, but Ctrl-Q will reactivate the terminal after Ctrl-S has stopped it.
[00:01] <obiwan_> ok i'll try
[00:01] <obiwan_> maybe that's what happens at my term
[00:01] <obiwan_> hello , does anybody read me?
[00:01] <sync3times> <crickets chipping>
[00:01] <Slart> for some reason I have couchdb installed.. can't really think of a reason why, it doesn't have any databases and an apt-cache redepends couchdb doesn't return anything I can remember installing.. is there some way I can find out *when* it was installed?
[00:02] <obiwan_> yeah , i'm still getting text even i ctrl s
[00:02] <obiwan_> so neither stops my flow haha ^-^
[00:02] <PrototypeX29A> zum vergleich http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TXAliqLA3jY/Sv1XHwjdQlI/AAAAAAAAJ-A/GMZgMmrEWcs/s400/1.jpg
[00:03] <PrototypeX29A> sorry :)
[00:03] <PrototypeX29A> wrong chan
[00:03] <sync3times> obiwan_,    in a terminal,  type  yes.   it will stream a bunch of  y  characters.   Then type   ctrl-s  .   They will stop     type ctrl-c to break out
[00:03] <diskin> Slart, grep in /var/log/apt ?
[00:03] <obiwan_> yeahh it did work sync3times !!
[00:04] <obiwan_> but i don't need c-q to resume, i just type any key and comes back
[00:04] <diskin> Slart, or /var/log/aptitude
[00:04] <sync3times> obiwan_,   for your trip to the dark side to be complete.   type    stty -a
[00:04] <MatBee> acidhax@acidhax-laptop:~/android-sdk-linux_86/tools$ sudo ./adb shell
[00:04] <MatBee> error: device not found
[00:04] <Slart> diskin: ah.. did a grep of the entire /var/log tree.. found it in dpkg.log
[00:04] <Slart> diskin: thanks
[00:05] <diskin> Slart, right, I forgot about dpkg :)
[00:05] <phdre> hey all
[00:05] <erUSUL> Slart: is the new shiny new thing in the ubuntu desktop. http://arstechnica.com/open-source/reviews/2009/11/good-karma-ars-reviews-ubuntu-910.ars/6
[00:05] <Slart> erUSUL: ahh.. sneaky.. well.. I guess it can stay then.. thanks
[00:06] <erUSUL> Slart: twice new I tell you XD (sorry for the typo O:) )
[00:06] <Slart> erUSUL: but it is very very new =)
[00:07] <karma_police> anyone know how to set google chrome to open incognito by default in ubuntu?
[00:07] <bastid_raZor> couchDB... what will theythink of next..?
[00:07] <diskin> karma_police, how do you do it in windows?
[00:07] <Slart> karma_police: you can probably change the launcher to include a switch or something
[00:07] <karma_police> right click on the shortcut and add --incognito to the end of the target name
[00:08] <diskin> karma_police, so try the same in Linux
[00:08] <karma_police> i have googled it and have come up with nothing.. a bit ironic
[00:08] <karma_police> no such menu in linux
[00:09] <karma_police> my bad.. nevermind.. can't access that menu from the dropdown.. have to make a shortcut
[00:10] <scoop1> hi all people here, the day before chrismasnight
[00:10] <MkJackson> hey folks, is there a way in Koala to add an image/picture of my user name?  getting kinda tired of seeing the generic white "body"
[00:11] <danny> Can someone please tell me how to fsck my ext4 hard drive? I think I've been told many ways but nothing has worked!
[00:11] <mobi-sheep> MkJackson: System --> Preferences --> About Me?
[00:13] <scoop1> does anybody use fglrx or real 3d with an ati radeon mobile x700 graphic card?
[00:13] <bastid_raZor> danny: can you umount the partition or is it your /home or / partitions?
[00:13] <ubuntu> repositories are the reason my xserver is dead now
[00:13] <microhaxo> Anyone know of any GOOD guides for tweaking Ubuntu 9.10 for an Eee pc 1000he with 2gb ram?  I want to focus on performance and battery life.
[00:13] <MkJackson> mobi_sheep: Thanks so much man... was looking in Users/Groups!
[00:13] <danny> bastid_raZor: it is my / partition
[00:14] <diskin> scoop1, I used it with 8.10, installed latest driver from ATI
[00:14] <sync3times> microhaxo, make sure you are running 16bit color.  It helped mine
[00:14] <Tobiasz> is there any superior way of restoring xserver in 9.10?
[00:15] <Tobiasz> after the first splash screen there is only black screen
[00:15] <bastid_raZor> danny:  type sudo touch /forcefsck  ..then reboot it will fsck the partitions you have on boot, afterwards delete /forcefsck
[00:15] <obiwan_> sync3times: i'm afraid my force is too weak to be accepted by the dark side, nyway i tried em and half don't work. As i see, it's something about gnome-terminal, things are supposed to work different with each terminal, konsole for example _does_ use c-s for forward -i-search as man bash say, so i guess things r a little messed up with bash/terminal
[00:15] <MkJackson> ok, last question, is there a way to change the loading & login backgrounds?
[00:15] <scoop1> diskin: does you use it with x700 card diskin? if try the reposity fglrx package, i have blackscreen
[00:16] <sync3times> obiwan_, of course the terminal programs capture the keystrokes and can do anything they want.  They dont HAVE to pass them onto the slave pty
[00:16] <aintaer> Okay that was strange
[00:16] <aintaer> On reading the wifi docs, I found that FN+Fx combo might turn on/off wifi
[00:16] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I rebooted the machine after `mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1` and correcting the new UUID for the partition in /etc/fstab.  It mounts successfully, however, it still does not appear in gui environment for Gnome.
[00:16] <Vantrax> anyone know why an administrator account would be unable to log into cups
[00:16] <diskin> scoop1, yes, x700. but that was on 8.10
[00:16] <aintaer> so I hit FN+F1 on here, which is hibernate
[00:16] <aintaer> it hibernates, and when I restart it from hibernation, wifi works again
[00:16] <microhaxo> 16 bit color?!??!?
[00:16] <sync3times> somebodyelse, wow, i am surprised
[00:17] <microhaxo> thats horrible, i dont think the Eee pc 1000he is that bad on performance
[00:17] <microhaxo> :|
[00:17] <aintaer> that is strange because I have not used that to turn off wifi in the first place
[00:17] <microhaxo> it has 2gb of ram and a N280 atom
[00:17] <forceflow> microhaxo: I have that netbook too
[00:17] <danny> bastid_raZor: how do I delete forcefsck?
[00:17] <microhaxo> so it is slow on 32bit?
[00:17] <diskin> scoop1, here is the file: ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64.run - found it in my archives
[00:17] <scoop1> diskin:  ahh, yes this is possible with 8.10, but in 9.10 it's a real nightmare for me to use 3d
[00:18] <aintaer> So though I don't understand how this is possible, it seems to have fixed my inexplicable wifi woes.
[00:18] <sync3times> microhaxo,  well it cuts down the amount of stuff it has to send to the graphics port by 33%
[00:18] <somebodyelse> sync3times, Me too.  The line in /etc/fstab is UUID=036a4e28-5639-4613-a8c4-4b84d7825027 /shared         ext4    noatime,user    0       0
[00:18] <forceflow> microhaxo: rather
[00:18] <forceflow> performance is not up to par with winxp, unfortunately
[00:18] <microhaxo> Ah shit
[00:18] <sync3times> microhaxo,  60 times a second or so
[00:18] <bastid_raZor> danny: once you log back in type sudo rm -rf /forcefsck
[00:18] <scoop1> diskin: thanks for the link but i have 9.10 right now, i think if i change
[00:18] <somebodyelse> sync3times, and blkid now correctly labels the partition as ext4
[00:18] <microhaxo> does 16bit look much worse?
[00:18] <sync3times> microhaxo,  its integrated graphics right?
[00:18] <danny> bastid_raZor: OK, thanks, that might have been a dumb question!
[00:19] <microhaxo> yes
[00:19] <forceflow> microhaxo: are you running that intel driver in EXA or UXA mode?
[00:19] <bastid_raZor> danny: nope, every one has to learn at some point.
[00:19] <forceflow> UXA = huge performance boost
[00:19] <sync3times> somebodyelse, does it see it in disk utility?
[00:20] <microhaxo> I dont have the netbook yet, its in the mail. I'm just trying to prepare!
[00:20] <scoop1> does anybody use fglrx or real 3d with an ati radeon mobile x700 graphic card in 9.10 ?? and can give me helping hand?
[00:20] <microhaxo> Will the Asus super Hybrid engine work in ubuntu? The battery life in windows is 8+ hours, i dont want that to take a shit in ubuntu..
[00:21] <somebodyelse> sync3times, Yep, I just checked a few moments ago and the disk utility detects the drive and the partition.
[00:21] <forceflow> microhaxo: there's no eee-control package for 9.10 yet
[00:21] <microhaxo> damn
[00:21] <saad_> salut
[00:21] <forceflow> but you can manually set processor frequency with the gnome applet
[00:21] <microhaxo> so the battery life will be poor :|
[00:21] <LjL> microhaxo: i'd forget about it being actually 8+ hours on either system. make it 6-7
[00:21] <forceflow> which (I think) will achieve the same
[00:21] <forceflow> I can pull off 8 hours on ubuntu 9.10 with it
[00:22] <somebodyelse> sync3times, The permissions for the directory that the partition is mounted to are drwxr-xr-x\
[00:22] <microhaxo> Well, my friend has the 1005ha modem (virtually the same) except for keyboard and she gets 8 hours and 32 min if just typing etc (no wifi)
[00:22] <captivus> forceflow: You have a netbook?
[00:22] <captivus> forceflow: Are you running UNR on it?
[00:22] <digitalaxis> Can someone help me compile Squid?
[00:22] <microhaxo> I refuse to run UNR
[00:22] <forceflow> captivus: yep
[00:22] <microhaxo> i will be running full blown ubuntu
[00:23] <forceflow> microhaxo: unr is full blown ubuntu with a different skin
[00:23] <LjL> microhaxo: it's not linux UNR is not full-blown
[00:23] <Dr_Willis> The UNR releases may be tweaked to work better with a netbook. and you can install the normal gnome desktop on a UNR ionstall
[00:23] <microhaxo> Dont like that skin
[00:23] <LjL> uh, it's not *like*.
[00:23] <microhaxo> i've used UNR
[00:23] <microhaxo> i dont like the restrictions
[00:23] <LjL> there are no restrictions
[00:23] <Dr_Willis> So install the full gnome desktop.
[00:23] <harushimo> I'm trying to do dual monitor with my ati card, it doesn't work
[00:23] <forceflow> if you do sudo install ubuntu-desktop on a UNR your UNR install will be equivalent to the regular ubuntu
[00:23] <harushimo> why is that?
[00:23] <forceflow> it's just a matter of packaging
[00:23] <microhaxo> also i will be using this for C programming via shell commands and terminal etc.
[00:23] <forceflow> no difference, microhaxo
[00:23] <LjL> and you can do that fine. i do it.
[00:24] <Dr_Willis> My netbook is my 'video' player. :)
[00:24] <harushimo> is their way to download ati drivers for ubuntu? I remember 8.1 having them
[00:24] <digitalaxis> Can anyone help me compile SQUID?
[00:24] <microhaxo> For me there was a big difference. I didnt like the delay on applications being loaded, i didnt like the 1 process of the same program limit, and i didnt like the skin.
[00:24] <forceflow> I use it mainly for C++ programming and video indeed :)
[00:24] <sync3times> somebodyelse, maybe you went behind its back and its pissed.   Is there a way to add the HD through the gui?
[00:24] <LjL> digitalaxis: why compile?
[00:25] <microhaxo> That wasn't 9.10 though, it was a version released like 3 months ago.
[00:25] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I'm not sure.
[00:25] <digitalaxis> LjL: You have to compile it on linux.
[00:25] <LjL> uh... no?
[00:25] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I'm not familiar with gui so much, especially Ubuntu.  I personally use Gentoo.
[00:25] <LjL> !info squid | digitalaxis
[00:25] <LjL> you definitely don't have to compile it.
[00:25] <digitalaxis> So you plan on just installing the source? Doesnt quite work like that
[00:25] <LjL> eh... no?
[00:25] <LjL> !software > digitalaxis    (digitalaxis, see the private message from ubottu)
[00:26] <LjL> digitalaxis: typing "sudo apt-get install squid" will download and install it (the binaries, not the source).
[00:26] <harushimo> !ati
[00:26] <LjL> or you can achieve the same thing using Synaptic if you prefer.
[00:26] <dre> kwin shortcuts anyone knows some
[00:26] <sync3times> somebodyelse,  same for me
[00:26] <captivus> forceflow: How do you like the launcher?
[00:27] <captivus> forceflow: I kinda hate it
[00:27] <digitalaxis> LjL: Squid doesnt make any binaries for linux that i can find
[00:27] <digitalaxis> LjL: What is synaptic?
[00:27] <LjL> digitalaxis: they're *provided by Ubuntu*. in its repositories. please, *read* that page i sent you.
[00:27] <LjL> Synaptic is the Ubuntu software installer.
[00:27] <forceflow> captivus: as I said, I got rid of it entirely
[00:27] <forceflow> :)
[00:27] <LjL> dre: they might know better in #kubuntu
[00:27] <forceflow> the launcher and the maximus window manager
[00:27] <dre> thanks
[00:27] <forceflow> (which auto-full screens all newly opened apps)
[00:27] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I do not believe it is supposed to appear there.
[00:27] <somebodyelse> sync3times, Is it?
[00:27] <captivus> forceflow: Yeah ... I'm thinking of doing the same.  Does it run well using regular Gnome?
[00:28] <somebodyelse> sync3times, The second hard drive is mounted at /shared
[00:28] <forceflow> captivus: yeah, no probs
[00:28] <captivus> forceflow: Yeah ... Maximus is annoying as hell, too
[00:28] <sync3times> sync3times, does it have a label?
[00:28] <captivus> forceflow: Have you tried to run a vm on your netbook yet?
[00:28] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I can access it via /shared in gui, but the owner of the computer wants a shortcut on that part of gui also.
[00:28] <sync3times> somebodyelse, does it have a lable/   the filesystem?
[00:29] <somebodyelse> sync3times, No, it doesn't have a label.
[00:29] <sync3times> somebodyelse,  can you add one with tune2fs or something?
[00:29] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I will try.
[00:30] <forceflow> captivus: VM is a bit unpossible
[00:30] <forceflow> I only have 1 gb of ram in this netbook, that could be it
[00:30] <captivus> forceflow: Yeah, I assumed as much.  I was going to give it a go, but I figured it would be a stretch.
[00:30] <carlosns79ubt> who are you?????
[00:31] <captivus> forceflow: Did you just uninstall maximus and the launcher, or did you otherwise disable them?
[00:31] <LjL> carlosns79ubt: i could ask the same of you
[00:31] <forceflow> captivus: just disabled them
[00:31] <forceflow> there's an option in UNR titled "use regular desktop"
[00:32] <forceflow> first I enabled that, that got rid of the launcher, and gave me regular gnome desktop
[00:32] <forceflow> then in startup apps, I removed maximus
[00:32] <forceflow> and that's it :)
[00:32] <LjL> forceflow: hmm, i think i heard it had been removed for some reason or another in 9.10...? not entirely sure though
[00:32] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I unmounted it, then gave it a label using `tune2fs -L shared /dev/sdb1`, remounted it and still it doesn't appear as a shortcut at "Computer - File Browser" in gui.  Again, is it supposed to or is this a feature that the user wants that isn't implemented by design?
[00:32] <carlosns79ubt> why?
[00:32] <captivus> forceflow: Have you enabled virtual desktops?  If so, does it work well?
[00:32] <digitalaxis> can someone who is actually willing to help with installing squid PM me? (aka not just throwing links out there i have already read)
[00:33] <captivus> digitalaxis: Rudeness is sure to get you the help you seek!
[00:33] <sync3times> somebodyelse, one last thing, and then I am out of tricks.   Try putting the mount point in /media.   maybe thats legal maybe not.  but I would try it
[00:33] <forceflow> captivus: yep, virtual desktops work fine
[00:33] <carlosns79ubt> somebody  helpme
[00:33] <forceflow> even compiz effects work reasonably
[00:33] <sync3times> somebodyelse, /media/shared
[00:33] <LjL> digitalaxis: you probably didn't listen. i also told you to TYPE, in a terminal, "sudo apt-get install squid" if you want to get SQUID installed.
[00:34] <captivus> forceflow: Wow.  _That_ I wouldn't have guessed.
[00:34] <digitalaxis> LjL: no, you said apt-get,  However. I actually didnt even mean to type that in this channel. It was meant for the #squid channel
[00:34] <captivus> digitalaxis: If you're not willing to read the links provided, you're going to find yourself in a bit of a jam.
[00:34] <LjL> [01:26:18] <LjL> digitalaxis: typing "sudo apt-get install squid" will download and install it (the binaries, not the source).
[00:34] <CVirus> I used sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ to install lamp components .. How can I remove them as well ?
[00:34] <LjL> i think i know what i said.
[00:35] <harushimo> is this ATI Visontek X1550 supported by ubuntu?
[00:35] <bastid_raZor> !hardware | harushimo ..check here
[00:36] <microhaxo> so whats the difference between just installing regular ubuntu and using a dock vs using UNR?
[00:36] <stillinbeta> Hi, I've got Ubuntu server (Intrepid) running inside KVM on a Karmic Desktop install. I'm trying to get internet to the Intrepid VM so I can install a few packages.
[00:36] <harushimo> i don't see anything with RV516 chipset
[00:36] <forceflow> captivus: I run 4 virtual desktops with standard compiz effects. That's window shaddow, fancy alt-tab switcher and the cube.
[00:37] <somebodyelse> sync3times, Thanks for your assistance.
[00:38] <sync3times> somebodyelse, sorry it didnt work out
[00:38] <stillinbeta> I've been trying to use ssh -D and tsocks to the master from the VM, any reason why that wouldn't be working?
[00:38] <captivus> forceflow: That's good news.  What processor does your netbook have?
[00:39] <calucifer> hi, I need help getting wireless (Intel 5300) working on karmic 64 bit
[00:39] <microhaxo> so forceflow, you use UNR?
[00:40] <captivus> forceflow: Where is this option you spoke of to "use the regular desktop"?
[00:40] <forceflow> captivus: preferences -> desktop I think
[00:40] <PointMan> Ive read doc on /etc/sudoers but I cant find any that describes how I let a user have access to just run 1 single command as root
[00:41] <captivus> forceflow: This is accessible from the launcher?
[00:41] <forceflow> captivus: it was there anyway, in 9.04
[00:41] <plague> hi can anyone tell me the correct format for a multi term search in nautilus?
[00:41] <forceflow> never used the launcher again ...
[00:41] <captivus> forceflow: Ahh ... yeah, it doesn't seem to be there in 9.10
[00:42] <microhaxo> forceflow: You use UNR on your netbook?  do you prefer it to the full 9.10 ?
[00:42] <microhaxo> or (normal) 9.10
[00:42] <forceflow> microhaxo: for the last time, UNR minus the launcher package and with ubuntu-desktop is *the same* :)
[00:43] <gawk> Hey guys, my system the same bug as described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/433729
[00:43] <microhaxo> sorry, didnt see that. So i'll just use the regular ubuntu.
[00:43] <forceflow> yeah
[00:43] <gawk> What would be the best way to fix it?
[00:43] <forceflow> a pro for the UNR is that it comes with less applications
[00:43] <forceflow> no evolution, cd burner, ...
[00:43] <captivus> microhaxo: forceflow is correct
[00:43] <forceflow> but you can achieve that just as easily by removing them from regular ubuntu
[00:43] <forceflow> it's all up to you :)
[00:43] <gawk> Do I just run an update? I tried using the ubuntu remix and the bug is still in there too
[00:43] <microhaxo> :D
[00:44] <microhaxo> My goals are to maintain atleast ~8 hours of battery life
[00:44] <microhaxo> and run pretty smooth.
[00:44] <forceflow> microhaxo: will work
[00:44] <forceflow> I've got an eeePC 1005HA
[00:44] <microhaxo> great :D
[00:44] <forceflow> and I'm okay with ubuntu
[00:45] <forceflow> UNR comes without the desktop tracker thing too
[00:45] <forceflow> so less services, less apps
[00:45] <gawk> forceflow, I have a 900HD, have you encountered anything like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/433729 ?
[00:45] <forceflow> I like to start with less, instead of removing stuff :)
[00:45] <captivus> microhaxo: You have an extended battery on that thing?
[00:45] <microhaxo> Ok so maybe better to install UNR and then just Remove the special desktop?
[00:45] <CVirus> sudo tasksel remove lamp-server removed lots of not related packages !!! WTF !!
[00:45] <microhaxo> No
[00:45] <microhaxo> its a 6 cell
[00:45] <Dayspring> hello everyone
[00:45] <captivus> microhaxo: So yes ...
[00:45] <microhaxo> Eee pc'
[00:45] <microhaxo> no
[00:45] <FloodBot4> microhaxo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:46] <forceflow> gawk: yeah, sometimes
[00:46] <microhaxo> it comes standard.
[00:46] <forceflow> my wireless-repair script is just sudo rmmod ath9k and sudo modprobe ath9k
[00:46] <captivus> microhaxo: Fair enough ... my Dell Mini 10v calls the 6-cell an "extended" battery.  I bought it.
[00:46] <forceflow> usually solves wireless quirks after suspend/hibernate :)
[00:46] <microhaxo> the Eee pc 1005 and 1000 come standard with 6 cell batts.
[00:46] <captivus> microhaxo: How are you squeezing 8 hours out of it?
[00:46] <Dayspring> i'm having issues with my sound crackling in games and then freezing my computer....anyone know of a resolution?
[00:46] <microhaxo> I'm not, my friend has win7 on it and she gets 8 hours and 30 min with wifi off.
[00:47] <microhaxo> I dont have mine yet.
[00:47] <captivus> I see
[00:47] <microhaxo> in the mail as we type.
[00:47] <captivus> I get 6+ with wifi on
[00:47] <forceflow> I get 7 hours on Ubuntu 9.10 with wifi on
[00:47] <forceflow> and about 10-11 with wifi off
[00:47] <captivus> forceflow: That's impressive
[00:47] <microhaxo> DAMN
[00:47] <gawk> forceflow, it doesn't like to wake up :p
[00:47] <microhaxo> thats what im talkin about.
[00:47] <captivus> forceflow: You do anything to increase the battery life?
[00:47] <forceflow> gawk: you got that right
[00:48] <forceflow> captivus: in the gnome applet thing for CPU frequency, I set it to powersave when I'm just watching a movie
[00:48] <forceflow> also, my screen blanks after 5 minutes of inactivity
[00:48] <forceflow> no fancy screensaver stuff
[00:48] <gourd_captain> Hey, after setting up an Ubuntu/XP dual boot, can you resize the XP partition (second on the disk) and shrink the Ubuntu home partition non-destructively?
[00:48] <forceflow> and also, dimming the screen light when you're not touching anything :)
[00:48] <gawk> gourd_captain: try using gpart
[00:49] <gourd_captain> gawk: Unfortunatly, the problem is that I'd have to move the start of the partition to resize. Would this mess up GRUB?
[00:49] <marcosi> hi
[00:49] <jolaren> How do I get a ubuntu minimal installation to boot directly to X?
[00:50] <captivus> jolaren: Change the runlevel to ... is it 3, people?
[00:50] <marcosi> how can i install the spice protocol on ubuntu???
[00:50] <Maletor> hey does anybody know of any cool ubuntu customizations?
[00:50] <Maletor> i want one sexy bad ass looking desktop
[00:50] <forceflow> Maletor: I like the docky skin for Gnome-Do
[00:50] <forceflow> it's a mac-like app launcher
[00:50] <forceflow> you can do cool stuff with conky too
[00:51] <gawk> Oh...that is a problem I am not sure how to solve then, I am not sure how easy it is to move the beginning of the partition and don't wish to be responsible for fux0ring your partition table :/
[00:51] <gawk> ^ gourd_captain
[00:51] <Maletor> word
[00:51] <forceflow> gourd_captain: don't know it either
[00:51] <Dayspring> GnoMenu is pretty sweet
[00:51] <jeff1140> I need help
[00:51] <forceflow> it's definitely an advanced disk operation :)
[00:52] <jeff1140> I have a NVIDIA 5200FX 256MB Graphic card and I can't enable desktop effects and I can't select my highest desktop resolution
[00:52] <Dayspring> also a good website with customizations is gnome-look.org
[00:53] <microhaxo> so forceflow, gnome-do is the dock you use?
[00:53] <forceflow> microhaxo: used it
[00:53] <microhaxo> i wanted to use a dock but i didnt want a resource intensive one.
[00:53] <microhaxo> what currently do you use if any at all?
[00:53] <forceflow> regular gnome
[00:53] <forceflow> he asked for something fancy, not for something resource-efficient :)
[00:53] <Dayspring> microhaxo-- GnoMenu
[00:54] <Mohan_> Hi all
[00:54] <jeff1140> Anyone want to help me?
[00:54] <forceflow> microhaxo, captivus
[00:54] <jolaren> jeff1140; Don't ask to ask! Just ask and see what happends
[00:54] <Mohan_> Help with what?
[00:54] <forceflow> as an alternative desktop, I can recommend openbox
[00:54] <microhaxo> Lol
[00:54] <marcosi> anyone know about any ubuntu package for spice???
[00:54] <jeff1140> I already asked my question
[00:54] <forceflow> just install openbox and a couple of extra (status area, taskbar) and you've got a pretty minimal desktop
[00:55] <IdleOne> jeff1140: please repeat it
[00:55] <microhaxo> thats a little hard core for me, i still want her to look decent.
[00:55] <Dayspring> could someone help me with my sound issue?
[00:55] <jolaren> He's going to say "Can somebody help me?" again
[00:55] <jeff1140> OK, I have a NVIDIA 5200FX 256MB Graphic card and I can't enable Desktop effects and I can't select my monitors highest resolution.
[00:56] <forceflow> captivus, microhaxo: I'm now running: deluge torrent, chrome web browser, a terminal and VLC playing a movie, and I'm using about 600 megs of RAM. Ubuntu 9.10 compiz enabled, smooth as butter.
[00:56] <IdleOne> !nvidia | jeff1140 take a look here and see if it helps
[00:56] <forceflow> in regular gnome desktop
[00:56] <captivus> forceflow: That's impressive, man
[00:56] <jeff1140> OK
[00:56] <captivus> forceflow: Did you mention which processor your box uses?  I was afk for a bit.
[00:56] <forceflow> hm
[00:56] <jeff1140> I installed the right driver and everything
[00:56] <bastid_raZor> jeff1140: i have the same card in my server/media box.. i think i use the -96 version
[00:56] <forceflow> I actually don't know :)
[00:57] <jeff1140> I installed the 173 version
[00:57] <forceflow> aha
[00:57] <microhaxo> Err
[00:57] <forceflow> intel atom N280
[00:57] <microhaxo> this guide im reading says that EeePC tray utility is available for 9.10?
[00:57] <captivus> forceflow: There it is!
[00:57] <jeff1140> I am unable to enable desktop effects and I cant select my desktop resolution
[00:57] <captivus> forceflow: Ok, so you've got the step up from what I'm running
[00:57] <forceflow> microhaxo: yeah, but the version is experimental
[00:57] <forceflow> aha :)
[00:57] <microhaxo> Ahh
[00:57] <woodyjlw> i have a question about vbox. can xp use on board graphics in vbox on ubuntu now?
[00:58] <woodyjlw> for gaming
[00:58] <microhaxo> dont want any crashing :|, have you tried it?
[00:58] <forceflow> woodyjlw: yeah, but don't expect any Direct3D acceleration
[00:58] <captivus> woodyjlw: You'll need to install the "Host Additions"
[00:58] <forceflow> it's buggy
[00:58] <jolaren> jeff1140; got your newest graphic drivers?
[00:58] <jeff1140> Yes
[00:58] <jeff1140> Version 173
[00:58] <manbra> Anyone using konversation?
[00:58] <woodyjlw> what if ubuntu cant use the video 3d acceleration ?
[00:58] <manbra> I need to see something.
[00:59] <manbra> If you copy something, and click m3 in the enter text part
[00:59] <manbra> does it paste?
[00:59] <microhaxo> Hmm, alright thanks for all the info. I will most certainly be back in here when i have it in hand and installed for some tweaks on the graphics driver, and other optimizations you have mentioned.
[00:59] <bastid_raZor> jeff1140: that card being a low-end model and old .. the newest drivers aren't the best idea.
[00:59] <forceflow> woodyjlw: then you can't use it in the guest either :)
[00:59] <jeff1140> The 173 NVIDIA driver supports it though
[00:59] <manbra> Does mouse3 paste text into konversation?
[01:00] <bastid_raZor> jeff1140: if you have issues possibly it doesn't. try the older drivers to verify.
[01:00] <manbra> I fixed my scrolling issue, but I'm pretty sure left click is now mouse3.
[01:00] <Dayspring> anyone know what could cause my sound to crackle and stop and then when i try to exit the game it freezes my computer???
[01:00] <Dr_Willis> manbra:  middle mouse button has been used for ages to 'paste' the 'selection'  in X.   If thats what you are asking about.
[01:00] <jeff1140> OK
[01:00] <kn100> What's that program on ubuntu called, that shows you where the most disk space is being used in graphs
[01:00] <manbra> Thank you.  Gotta figure out how I broke X
[01:00] <jeff1140> I will install the older driver and I will come back if I am still having issues
[01:00] <woodyjlw> forceflow: I cant install ati catylist for my ati 200m laptop under 9.04 or 9.10 so I am stuck to 8.10 to get 3d right?
[01:00] <unop> kn100, baobab ?
[01:01] <jolaren> jeff1140; sounds like good troubleshooting, what graphic vendor are you using?
[01:01] <forceflow> woodyjlw: don't know, depends on your chipset I guess
[01:01] <jeff1140> Jolaren, It is a NVIDIA 5200FX 256MB
[01:01] <kn100> ok, since that package was depreciated in karmic, what other program do that
[01:01] <jolaren> Merry Christmas everyone! .-)
[01:01] <kn100> i just want to see where my disk space is being used
[01:02] <Dayspring> Merry Christmas jolaren!! :D
[01:02] <captivus> kn100: "Disk Usage Analyzer" is a gui app that will do that
[01:02] <captivus> kn100: Otherwise use 'df' at the shell
[01:02] <kn100> captivus, that's the program I need, what's the package name of it
[01:02] <trevor> does anyone know if you can watch netflix watch now on ubuntu?
[01:02] <bucknasty> can anyone tell me how to search (in terminal) for a string in files?
[01:03] <unop> kn100, baobab is part of gnome-utils in karmic
[01:03] <woodyjlw> has anyone had any luck installing ati catylist on the legacy cards in ubuntu 9.04 yet?
[01:03] <unop> !info gnome-utils
[01:03] <DVA5912> Will i notice any difference between the Nvidia 7200/7300 and the nvidia 9500 GT?
[01:03] <kn100> unop, i'll take a look
[01:03] <captivus> kn100: Which of the two are you asking about?
[01:04] <kn100> captivus, the gui tool, it used to come with jaunty
[01:04] <jeff1140> I don't see why Installing Version 96 will solve my issue.  It says that the driver 173 is recommended
[01:04] <kn100> I am using another distribution now, just really liked that program
[01:04] <kn100> it was baobab
[01:04] <inclement> I have a trackball, which I previously (with pclinuxos) configured via xorg.conf. Since xorg.conf is gone now in ubuntu, is there some new way of setting what the buttons should do, or do I have to create a new xorg.conf file and try to make that work?
[01:04] <Bilz> anyone here have a laptop with intel gma 4500 MHD graphics card? glxgears gives me around ~1000 - 1500 max fps on ubuntu 9.04, whilst it gives >2000 on win XP. any ideas? I thought the drivers worked out of the box?
[01:04] <mgolisch> bucknasty: grep?
[01:05] <captivus> kn100: It comes with Karmic
[01:05] <captivus> kn100: Check Accessories
[01:05] <kn100> captivus, I don't run ubuntu anymore
[01:05] <captivus> kn100: Gah!
[01:05]  * captivus shudders ...
[01:05] <trevor> is there anyway to get your display settings to stay,everytime i reboot i have to reset them
[01:06] <trevor> what do you run kn100
[01:07] <Maletor> what do i want to install to unarchive .rar files?
[01:07] <kn100> trevor, an odd blend of os's built from ubuntu-minimal
[01:07] <kn100> i've got bits from fedora, and some bits from *buntu
[01:07] <jolaren> Trying to install grub to /dev/sdb3 but it wont work
[01:07] <jolaren> I'm running out of ideas
[01:07] <captivus> kn100: The package is baobab
[01:08] <kn100> captivus, I know now :)
[01:08] <kn100> Anyway, thanks for the help
[01:08] <captivus> kn100: Sorry ... gnome-utils
[01:08] <kn100> captivus, yeah I figured that out
[01:08] <kn100> heh i hate it when packages are grouped like that
[01:10] <captivus> It's inelegant, I agree
[01:10] <neezer> so does anybody here know anythign about x11 port forwarding?
[01:10] <captivus> neezer: I know a bit about it ...
[01:10] <neezer> I'm looking to remote desktop into my ubuntu server from my ubuntu laptop.
[01:11] <neezer> I have ssh working with key authentication no problem.
[01:11] <neezer> I can even use the -X tag and run gedit and firefox remotely.
[01:12] <neezer> I would like to know how to get the remote desktop to show in a window.
[01:12] <mgolisch> neezer: it has a desktop?
[01:12] <mgolisch> neezer: id use nxserver
[01:12] <mgolisch> neezer: its realy fast especialy over the internet
[01:12] <neezer> I actually had to install ubuntu desktop 9.10 instead of ubuntu server...
[01:12] <manbra> What would cause my left click to act as mouse3
[01:13] <Bilz> anyone here have a laptop with intel gma 4500 MHD graphics card? glxgears gives me around ~1000 - 1500 max fps on ubuntu 9.04, whilst it gives >2000 on win XP. any ideas? I thought the drivers worked out of the box?
[01:13] <neezer> it is an old board with only SATA I ports on it, and the chipset didn't recognize the two SATA II drives that I had.
[01:13] <mgolisch> Bilz: glxgears is no real benchmark
[01:13] <neezer> so I get a PCI RAID card...but the server edition didn't have the drivers for it. the desktop version did.
[01:13] <mgolisch> Bilz: also i doubt the drivers have the same performance as the windows ones
[01:15] <Alan502_> Ok, so i'm using Kubuntu and my audio card suddenly stopped working :\ I just booted and was prompted with a window that asked my if i wanted to remove my HDA intel drivers as it seemed that they were no longer to be necessary, because my card was not detected. I rebooted but, for my relief, found that my audio card DOES still work in windows. What could be happening? PLEASE HELP!!!
[01:15] <Bilz> mgolisch, well its just that windows seems to generally run smoother than ubuntu. and the fps seems to be the difference that i have noted, and i just have a hunch that thats the problem
[01:15] <captivus> Garh!
[01:15] <captivus> Is it a safe move to just kill the launcher and then disable it from starting?
[01:15] <captivus> Is gnome running underneath it?
[01:15] <Bilz> mgolisch, so I can assume that the linux drivers just arent as good as windows? that kinda sucks. can i assume that that will always be the case?
[01:16] <neezer> captivus are you talking to me about gnome running underneath?
[01:16] <captivus> neezer: Nah mate ... sorry.
[01:16] <captivus> forceflow: ^^
[01:16] <neezer> thats ok
[01:17] <Alan502_> sync
[01:17] <mgolisch> Bilz: no idea, never tried games on my intel laptop, those cards are not made for that
[01:18] <Bilz> mgolisch, its not about games. i dont play games, i just noticed xp is smoother
[01:18] <mgolisch> Bilz: are you on 9.10?
[01:18] <centHOGG> Bilz: $$$
[01:18] <Bilz> mgolisch, tried to install, had issues (with graphics actually!) so i stayed away
[01:19] <mgolisch> i remember some prior release had major problems with intel gma based graphics adaptors
[01:19] <Bilz> mgolisch, 64 bit 9.04
[01:19] <Bilz> mgolisch, i think that may have been 8.04
[01:19] <Bilz> its not really a MAJOR issue
[01:19] <jolaren> I got this really annoying error. I'm running the Ubuntu Minimal Installation usbstick.. I want to install it to my external error but GRUB refuses to be installed. I can install LILO with no problems but I strongly dislike LILO. How can I get it to work?
[01:20] <mgolisch> Bilz: id start by checking which xorg driver is actualy loaded
[01:20] <microhaxo> Anyone with Eee pc or other netbooks find PowerTOP usefull to install and run?
[01:20] <mgolisch> Bilz: it might have bad performance using the vesa driver
[01:21] <jeff1140> OK, I installed the NVIDIA 96 driver and I am still having my issue
[01:21] <jolaren> microhaxo; I haven't run it myself but I have har)
[01:21] <Alan502> client sycing...
[01:21] <mgolisch> neezer: i think you could query the display chooser but doing the whole desktop using ssh x11 forwarding might be dog slow, as i said it use nxserver from nomachine
[01:22] <jolaren> microhaxo; I'm running a lg x110, I don't believe that PowerTOP is worth the installation
[01:22] <mgolisch> neezer: its realy fast and it tunnels the whole traffic though ssh
[01:22] <Bilz> mgolisch, cheers. on XP at the mo so cant really check, was just curious. Thanks for the help
[01:22] <tomtomdie> How would you update to the most recent version of phpmyadmin?
[01:23] <kenyabob> How do I check the number of mysql connections I have open?
[01:23] <captivus> tomtomdie: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin ?
[01:24] <jeff1140> I am still having my issue
[01:24] <tomtomdie> captivus: thanks but that doesn't seem to work.
[01:24] <captivus> tomtomdie: It will update to the latest version in the repo
[01:24] <Booma> hi @ all anyone in here using oss and can tell me how go get it from stereo to 5.1 or 7.1 (5.1 system on 7.1 card)
[01:24] <Booma> ?
[01:25] <mnn> kenyabob: mysqladmin proc -p
[01:25] <ivonne> ola
[01:25] <hal> ola
[01:25] <captivus> tomtomdie: If you want to upgrade to something more current, you'll have to pull it down manually and install it
[01:26] <Booma> hßM
[01:26] <Booma> hm?
[01:26] <neezer> is nxserver in the repos?
[01:26] <neezer> do I install it on my laptop or my server?
[01:27] <mgolisch> neezer: i think there is freenx in the repos no idea how well that works, i allways use the debian packages from nomachine.com, but i would asume that freenx works too
[01:27] <mgolisch> neezer: you need to install the server on your server and the client component on your laptop
[01:28] <kenyabob> mnn: thanks!
[01:28] <Booma> oehm.. did someone read me? -.-
[01:29] <Boo-boo> hi @ all anyone in here using oss and can tell me how go get it from stereo to 5.1 or 7.1 (5.1 system on 7.1 card)
[01:30] <Boo-boo> wtf why does is say i'm still named boo -.-
[01:30] <kn100> Boo-boo, type /nick whatever to change your nick
[01:30] <kn100> it may not change, that means someone else is using it
[01:30] <mgolisch> Boo-boo: does also not support your card?
[01:30] <mgolisch> or why do you use oss?
[01:30] <mgolisch> *alsa*
[01:31] <jeff1140> I cant select my desktop resolution in Ubuntu.  I cannot select 1366x768.  Any ideas?
[01:32] <Boo-boo> problem is, my sound kept crashing maybe 1 sec after i fixed it and i googled... and tried combinations of alsa, pulse and esound and nothing made me really happy and then i found oss and fellowed a guide till now stereo and no more crashes
[01:32] <captivus> jeff1140: You try editing xorg.conf?
[01:32] <EntityReborn> I have installed ubuntu, and I wish to resize the partition, and install vista to dual boot. is this fairly easy to pull off?
[01:33] <jeff1140> Captivus, How do I do that?  I am new to Linux
[01:33] <matts45acp> is anyone willing to help me setup my wireless connection?
[01:33] <Boo-boo> and sry for maybe bad english or noobish stuff :D german and little linux noob
[01:33] <Boo-boo> i rejoin quickly
[01:34] <captivus> Do we have a bot in here with canned info available via trigger words?
[01:34] <i_is_broke> !bot | captivus
[01:34] <Boo-boo> sry back now
[01:34] <mgolisch> Boo-boo: sorry no experience with oss
[01:35] <captivus> i_is_broke: Fanks!  I'll have a look at what he's got and start using it to help others.
[01:35] <captivus> i_is_broke: Are his triggers public, or do I need permissions to use them?
[01:35] <i_is_broke> captivus you dont need permission
[01:35] <captivus> jeff1140: I'd recommend Googling that one ... the file isn't difficult to understand but you'll need to read a bit.
[01:35] <Boo-boo> this is so annoying ... trying to give linux a try and spending DAYS on fixing sound -.-
[01:35] <captivus> jeff1140: You're going to want to edit it and ensure that the resolution you're after is configured therein.
[01:37] <jeff1140> Here is my Xorg.Conf file
[01:37] <jeff1140> Section "Screen"
[01:37] <jeff1140> 	Identifier	"Default Screen"
[01:37] <jeff1140> 	DefaultDepth	24

[01:37] <FloodBot4> jeff1140: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:38] <kn100> Boo-boo, unfortunately sound is not one of Linux's strong points
[01:38] <jayson> ubuntu is reporting that my hard drive has some bad sectors is there a program I can test my hard drive with
[01:38] <mgolisch> jayson: what does it say? relocated sectors?
[01:38] <Boo-boo> kn100 yeah i allready heard that in maybe 50 or more threads :)
[01:38] <jeff1140> Does my xorg.conf file look ok?
[01:38] <wei> hello
[01:39] <jayson> mgolisch, it's just say disk may have bad sectors
[01:39] <PiperMan> hello wei
[01:39] <matts45acp> is anyone willing to help me setup my wireless connection?
[01:39] <Suzanne> Hello Hal--are you there?  It's Suzanne
[01:39] <kn100> matts45acp, whats wrong with it?
[01:39] <mgolisch> jayson: that actualy means the disk firmware replaced some sectors with spare ones, you wont find anything using badblocks or similar
[01:39] <PiperMan> hi Suzanne
[01:39] <wei> hi, PiperMan
[01:39] <PiperMan> wei...where are you from?
[01:39] <Suzanne> Hal--are you there?
[01:39] <kn100> matts45acp, A quick fix that usually works, plug the laptop into an ethernet connection, open a terminal, type sudo apt-get update
[01:39] <Alan502> I've got a pretty bad problem! help please :) Ok, so my audio card stopped working suddenlty. I rebooted to change to kubuntu after playing some games on my windows partition. Surprisingly, kubuntu showed my a window asking if i wanted to remove drivers that were no longer going to be used, as my audio card was no longer detected. I rebooted again and changed to windows to see if my problem was really with my audio card, but my audio DID work in windows.
[01:39] <jayson> mgolisch, it says that every time ubuntu starts  how do i get rid of that
[01:39] <Alan502>  What could be happening? How can i enable my audio again? :\
[01:39] <wei> originally from China. currently, studying in US
[01:40] <PiperMan> nice
[01:40] <PiperMan> brazilian...hello from BRIC
[01:40] <kn100> then it _should_ tell you that there are drivers to use matts45acp
[01:40] <jayson> mgolisch, if i put my mouse over the icon it says the disk is failing
[01:40] <TuxOtaku> anyone here use ubuntu on an acer aspire one ZA3?
[01:41] <matts45acp> kn100 ok ill try that
[01:41] <mgolisch> jayson: open the tool and click details, its probably relocated sectors, it started to do the same for me, not sure if its a bug in ubuntus s.m.a.r.t support or if all our disks suddenly started dieing for real
[01:41] <mgolisch> :)
[01:41] <PiperMan> anyone from russia?
[01:41] <Snausages> TuxOtaku: mine's also an aspire one, but it's a different variant.  What problem are you having?
[01:41] <TuxOtaku> Snausages, can't get the webcam to work on ustream
[01:42] <TuxOtaku> works fine in Cheese
[01:42] <mgolisch> jayson: if thats not a bug it means your disk may fail soon
[01:42] <kn100> TuxOtaku, I have this issue
[01:42] <kn100> TuxOtaku, it's not a webcam issue
[01:42] <Snausages> TuxOtaku: I don't know ustream.  Have you tried it in cheese?  does it work there?
[01:42] <kn100> its a Flash issue
[01:42] <TuxOtaku> ahhh
[01:42] <TuxOtaku> I kinda figured
[01:42] <Snausages> oh, that makes sense
[01:42] <Alan502> I know my message was large but i tried to be as descriptive as possible!
[01:42] <TuxOtaku> any workarounds you can think of, kn100?
[01:42] <kn100> TuxOtaku, If you can right click > settings > select webcam then it'll work
[01:42] <TuxOtaku> ohhh
[01:42] <matts45acp> kn100 i did that, now what
[01:42] <jayson> mgolisch, reallocated sector count
[01:42] <TuxOtaku> kn100, lemme try that. just a sec
[01:43] <kn100> matts45acp, in the settings, find something like 'hardware drivers'
[01:43] <Gaming4JC> Hey all, got a problem and I've already googled and been to the forums. Just  totally uninstalled Wine (rm and --purged it) and deleted the wine menu on ubuntu 9.10, now when I resintalled Wine I can't get it back. Also it's not in the deleted menu list... any ideas how to get it back? :(
[01:43] <jolaren> I'm thinking perhaps I haev issues installing GRUB because I have two partitions, one 2gig swap and 8gig of "/" DO I have to have a /boot partition?
[01:43] <TuxOtaku> kn100, it won't let me select settings
[01:43] <jayson> mgolisch, It gives a warming with value 154 with threshold =140
[01:44] <Snausages> Alan502: I don't know the right way to fix that, but I know many people have cleared audio issues by removing & reinstalling audio support via apt or synaptic.
[01:44] <jayson> mgolisch, there is the test in there as well so i'm doing that now
[01:44] <blakkheim> jolaren: only if you use encryption
[01:45] <Alan502> Snausages, which packages are those?
[01:45] <jolaren> blakkheim; I see.. then I need to startover and remove the encryption
[01:46] <blakkheim> jolaren: yeah, you need an unencrypted /boot partition otherwise grub has nothing to boot into
[01:46] <trevor> i have been consistently losing wireless conectivity every minute or so, does anyone know what the problem could be
[01:46] <jolaren> blakkheim; but do I still need a "/" partition?
[01:46] <blakkheim> jolaren: yes
[01:46] <blakkheim> jolaren: but it can be encrypted :)
[01:47] <jolaren> blakkheim; I got 2 partions to install on. 1 2gig and one 9gig.. which should I put which on?
[01:47] <Snausages> Alan502: one would be alsa, the mixer.  The other would be the actual card driver, and that obviously varies from machine to machine.  I don't know how to advise you there.
[01:47]  * totem is away: sorry my girl friend wanna sex right now.
[01:47] <jolaren> blakkheim; the /boot on the 2gig, rite?
[01:47] <Alan502> Snausages, ok i'll reinstall the drivers and the alsa and mixer packages
[01:47] <blakkheim> jolaren: /boot only needs around 100-200mb
[01:48] <captivus> totem: liar! ;)
[01:48] <Alan502> Snausages, are the packages called "alsa" and "mixer" exactly?
[01:48] <jolaren> blakkheim; rite, I really hope this is why I haven't been able to install grub
[01:49] <Snausages> Alan502: I don't know.  Alsa is the right search key.  Alsa *is* the mixer, it's not two seperate things.
[01:49] <Snausages> Alan502: I don't know an appropriate name to use for searching out the audio driver itself.
[01:49] <Alan502> Snausages, i see well i'll just look for both keywords
[01:49] <Alan502> Snausages, thanks
[01:49] <Alan502> Snausages, i'd rather download the drivers from the oficial webpage
[01:49]  * Gaming4JC is left scratching his head why the ubuntu menu fails to show wine again ?_?
[01:50] <CShadowRun> Gaming4JC: tried using the menu editor?
[01:50] <jherraez> hey there, im trying the lucid alpha 1 on a virtual machine, and it demands login/pw , which i  have no idea what it could be
[01:50] <jherraez> anyone knows

[01:51] <Carlis> I need help
[01:52] <Lyra> Hey guys, I'm having an issue with sound. I just upgraded to 9.10 and finally found new drivers for my sound card. The only problem is when I plug in my headphones it doesn't mute the speakers. I've looked through the ubuntu forums and it said to add an entry to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf but it doesn't seem to have worked. Does anyone know anything about this issue?
[01:52] <sweetandy> I'm installing Ubuntu 9.10 on a 2007 laptop I just got from my friend in exchange for recovering his files. **does a little dance**
[01:53] <jolaren> blakkheim; should the "/" be "bootable"?
[01:53] <sebsebseb> sweetandy: that was maybe a little bit unfair, since doesn't useually take that much to recover files?
[01:53] <Snausages> sebsebseb: I dunno, I have a 2002 laptop I got the same way
[01:53] <Snausages> (got it years ago)
[01:54] <sweetandy> sebsebseb: He wanted to get rid of the laptop anyway, he has a brand new one with Win7. He had hardware compatibility troubles with Windows in the past, no use for the laptop anymore.
[01:54] <sebsebseb> sweetandy: well  you could have installed Desktop LInux on there for him :D
[01:54] <Carlis> I need help
[01:55] <sweetandy> sebsebseb: I'm installing it now ;)
[01:55] <CVirus> I'm new to apache .. All I want to do is the following: When a local user accesses facebook.com I want him to be redirected to a certain .php file in my /var/www/ ... so added this line in my /etc/hosts "127.0.0.1 facebook.com" ... Now how can I redirect the user to that particular page ?
[01:55] <sebsebseb> sweetandy: yeah, but for you not him, anyway off topic
[01:55] <sweetandy> !ask | Carlis
[01:56] <SoftwareExplorer> CVirus: Name the .php file index.php , and I think it will work
[01:56] <Carlis> ok
[01:56] <sebsebseb> Carlis: bulk mail?
[01:56] <Carlis> yes
[01:56] <CVirus> SoftwareExplorer: I want this for different websites .. each website shall redirect to a certain .php file
[01:56] <LizardK|ng> CVirus, the user may need to flush his dns cache, if they already visited the site recently
[01:57] <Boo-boo> uh qiet here ... maybe now someone xperience with oss and 5.1/7.1 ? :D
[01:57] <Lyra> Does anyone know anything about an issue with realtek sound cards not muting the speakers when you plug in headphones?
[01:57] <sebsebseb> Carlis: a spam filter?
[01:57] <fchurca> hi
[01:57] <LizardK|ng> CVirus, you can't use 127.0.0.1 for all, use other IPs in 127.x.x.x
[01:57] <Carlis> no spam filter
[01:57] <Gaming4JC> CShadowRun: there's a file in /etc/xdm/menu/wine.menu seems to be it? But it's not showing up in my local menu
[01:57] <CShadowRun> Gaming4JC: no clue, sorry.
[01:58] <Carlis> to send 1 mail to many ppl
[01:58] <fchurca> i've got a problem; i can't access my server from my own lan using the domain name. I can from outside or using a proxy though.
[01:58] <damian> Lyra, thats usually down to how the socket is wired internally
[01:58] <LizardK|ng> CVirus, and set up apache to listen on each ip separately
[01:58] <mgolisch> Lyra: is it hda? it probably means the driver didnt detect the corrrect layout
[01:58] <CVirus> LizardK|ng: can you please elaborate a bit
[01:58] <fchurca> i can also from inside but using the private ip
[01:58] <[Neurotic]> Hi all - I'm attempting to install Legacy Grub on my 9.10 installation through this tutorial (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1360445), because I have a Bios Raid1 setup, and Grub2 won't install. I run the step where I 'sudo apt-get install grub', which seems to work correctly, but then there are no files in /boot/grub. Can show me what is going wrong when trying to install legacy grub?
[01:58] <mgolisch> Lyra: you may need to overide the this using module loadtime options
[01:59] <sebsebseb> Carlis: mailing list?
[01:59] <Carlis> yes
[01:59] <SoftwareExplorer> fchurca: you could use the hosts file
[01:59] <sebsebseb> Carlis: should be able to do that in an email client
[01:59] <Lyra> mgolisch: ho do I go about doing that?
[01:59] <mgolisch> Lyra: or maybe even patch or install a newer version of alsa, tried googling allready?
[02:00] <jjjj> karmic upgrade from jaunty: on first boot i get something about "kernel can't find boot device"
[02:00] <mgolisch> Lyra: id try googleling for your specific mainboad/laptop model and see if someone else had the same problem and probably solved it allready
[02:00] <fchurca> SoftwareExplorer: i know but i'd prefer not to. some of the computers here are not mine.
[02:00] <Carlis> I was using worldcast but in linux doesn´t run well through wine
[02:00] <LizardK|ng> CVirus, put a unique  ip in 127.x.x.x in hosts for each site and bind apache each address and set up a wwwroot for each ip
[02:00] <sebsebseb> Carlis: what's that?
[02:00] <CVirus> LizardK|ng: how can I bind apache to each IP ?
[02:00] <Lyra> mgolisch: yes, I just got the latest version from opensound and I've read in the forums that I should add an entry to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and it hasnt ficed the issue
[02:00] <mazda01> where are the icons for a users home dir stored? my new genoid theme has a black house for the desktops users home icon and my background is black, so i'd like to change the house to white. anyone know where the image is stored
[02:00] <LizardK|ng> CVirus, i don;t know apache well enough to give you specifc apache directives
[02:00] <Lyra> fixed*
[02:01] <LizardK|ng> CVirus, its in the docs
[02:01] <Carlis> what email client ?
[02:01] <CVirus> LizardK|ng: okay thanks a lot
[02:01] <mgolisch> CVirus: you can just create virtualhost that bind to a specific hostheader
[02:01] <mgolisch> CVirus: read about virtualhosts in apache docs
[02:01] <Carlis> WorldCast is bulk mail software for windows
[02:01] <LizardK|ng> mgolisch, can you put a hostheader in /etc/hosts?
[02:01] <Carlis> I need one for linux
[02:01] <sebsebseb> !email | Carlis
[02:01] <SoftwareExplorer> fchurca: it will also work to send them through a proxy server and have a hosts file set up on the proxy server, that's what we did at school
[02:01] <jjjj> karmic won't boot...kernel "can't initialize boot device" how do i fix this?
[02:01] <sebsebseb> Carlis: Evolution is the default email client program for Ubuntu
[02:02] <sebsebseb> Carlis: Mozilla Thunderbird and Kmail are nice as well
[02:02] <LizardK|ng> evolution is not bad
[02:02] <mgolisch> LizardK|ng: that doesnt matter the browser will allways use the hostname entered in the addressbar no matter what ip it resolves to
[02:02] <sebsebseb> LizardK|ng: maybe you can help them?
[02:03] <fchurca> SoftwareExplorer: that's not a viable option here either
[02:03] <LizardK|ng> sebsebseb, help who?
[02:03] <sebsebseb> LizardK|ng: Carlis
[02:03] <LizardK|ng> mgolisch, check out what CVirus is trying to do
[02:03] <LizardK|ng> carlis, what is the question?
[02:03] <SoftwareExplorer> fchurca: I kinda wondered if that was the case. Unluckily, I'm out of ideas
[02:04] <Carlis> is there a freeware linux bulk mail ???
[02:04] <CVirus> mgolisch: I will do like what you said
[02:04] <LizardK|ng> oh, bulk mail, i'd write a script that calls sendmail
[02:04] <mgolisch> LizardK|ng: CVirus , id do the following, setup a new virtualhost that listens on the hostheader facebook.com, have the hostfile resolve that to the ip of apache and be done with
[02:04]  * totem is back (gone 00:17:15)
[02:04] <LizardK|ng> mgolisch, yes, you;re right, it wold work that way
[02:05] <LizardK|ng> would*
[02:05] <LizardK|ng> Carlis, i;m sure someone wrote a script to do bulk emailing

[02:08] <CShadowRun> Carlis i doubt anyone here would want to help with builk mailing
[02:08] <Gaming4JC> Does anyone know where the Applications menu is located (in .menu file??) and if it can be reloaded? I'm sure wine has gotta be in there and just not showing up. ?_?
[02:08] <sebsebseb> jeffrey_: ,but I think it's also the one a lot of people say isn't good, but I am not sure
[02:08] <CShadowRun> It's spammy and horrible
[02:08] <LizardK|ng> carlis, google for bulk email linux; the second hit is a product you might be able to use and there are a few mentioned in the first hit
[02:08] <jjjj> what does karmic call sata partitions? is it "sda1, sda2" etc ?
[02:08] <SoftwareExplorer> jjjj: It usually uses uuid's
[02:08] <jeffrey_> ok thanks seb^3
[02:09] <marco____> mgolisch: i think so
[02:09] <marco____> mgolisch: how?
[02:09] <mgolisch> Gaming4JC: the wine entries are created on first run of wine
[02:09] <SoftwareExplorer> jjjj: you can find out the uuid's of your disks by running 'sudo blkid'
[02:09] <jeffrey_> who wants to create an OS for me
[02:09] <jeffrey_> ;)
[02:09] <mazda01> where are the icons for a users home dir stored? my new genoid theme has a black house for the desktops users home icon and my background is black, so i'd like to change the house to white. anyone know where the image is stored
[02:09] <mgolisch> marco____: click on the username in the top right corner select logout?
[02:10] <jjjj> SoftwareExplorer, thanks

[02:14] <cast> marco_______-: your nick sucks.
[02:14] <LizardK|ng> marco_______-, lsof and fuser
[02:14] <mgolisch> Gaming4JC: non ubuntu packages of wine probably dont have those menu entries
[02:14] <jeffrey_> thank you exewmute
[02:14] <marco_______-> LizardK|ng: how
[02:14] <exewintermute> no problem
[02:14] <Gaming4JC> mglisch: Then why aren't the official wine1.2 packages installing the menu either?
[02:14] <LizardK|ng> marco_______-, man lsof and man fuser
[02:15] <mgolisch> marco_______-: what is /dev/sda1?
[02:15] <LizardK|ng> mgolisch, probably /

[02:16] <JoeSomebody> some ahole in windows channel gave me a link that toasted my ubuntu
[02:16] <JoeSomebody> some ahole in windows channel gave me a link that toasted my ubuntu
[02:16] <cast> and what was the link?
[02:16] <LizardK|ng> JoeSomebody,  probably not
[02:16] <blackest_knight> marco_______-:  if sda1 is busy it is because its where your root f/s is

[02:16] <maco> JoeSomebody: what?
[02:16] <JoeSomebody> i thought this was better than windows
[02:16] <Luke> anyone know how to set up a local multicast channel on my desktop? I want to test a multicast app.

[02:17] <mgolisch> in what?
[02:17] <captivus> JoeSomebody: What are you on about?
[02:17] <iceroot> JoeSomebody: you have a ubuntu-related support-question? or just trolling?

[02:18] <iceroot> LizardK|ng: that is not working on bash anymore
[02:18] <JoeSomebody> i was given a link, then all kinds of windows opened, i closed them and they kept reopening
[02:18] <maco> JoeSomebody: what was the link?
[02:18]  * Gaming4JC *sigh* #winehq says ubuntu isn't making the menus right. So why is "wine winemenubuilder -a" not working on 9.10 ubuntu x64??? :s

[02:20] <JoeSomebody> i want help to protect and save it
[02:20] <iceroot> maco: there are no virusues and so on for linux, so its offtopic, also this is not a windows marketing channel, just a ubuntu support channel

[02:25] <ty8932_> hhah
[02:26] <Gaming4JC> good riddens
[02:26] <blackest_knight> is anybody here genuinely offended ? seriously
[02:26] <Gaming4JC> guy seemed to be spamming idk :(
[02:26] <Gaming4JC> anywayy can anyone tell me about the Ubuntu Applications Menu?
[02:26] <Gaming4JC> does it reload automatically or can it be manually reset to check for new apps?
[02:27] <jeffrey_> hi
[02:27] <captivus> How can I add virtual desktops to UNR?
[02:27] <jeffrey_> need ubuntu help
[02:28] <jeffrey_> how do i create more space
[02:28] <Gaming4JC> !ask
[02:28] <tritium> iceroot: thanks for the notice.  Looks like he left.
[02:28] <karma_police> what did i miss??\
[02:28] <jeffrey_> when i install it says i have no space left
[02:28] <iceroot> tritium: seems so, i am ignoring quit,part and join messages :)
[02:29] <Darkchylde> yeah, he left.
[02:29] <jeffrey_> "no space left on device" how do i change the o/s to secondary drive
[02:29] <maco> jeffrey_: sudo apt-get clean
[02:29] <maco> jeffrey_: that should clear old installers out
[02:30] <jeffrey_> i ran it
[02:30] <Boo-boo>  ... maybe now someone xperience with oss and 5.1/7.1 ? :D
[02:30] <Gaming4JC> jefferey: BleachBit might be a bit of help to clear out some space too.
[02:30] <cast> jeffrey_: using LVM?
[02:30] <blackest_knight> jeffrey_:  apt-get clean helps getting rid of old kernels helps
[02:31] <mgolisch> Gaming4JC: if you dont install the ubuntu wine the wine menu entries wont show up because ubuntu puts them somewhere special
[02:31] <mgolisch> Gaming4JC: maybe see if you can see any wine entries in the menu editor
[02:32] <blackest_knight> jeffrey_:  probably worth running diskusage analyser
[02:32] <heoa> netstat shows too many connection to my router. How can I kill unwanted visitors?
[02:32] <zebastian> i am on ubuntu using lxde, for some reason everytime i restart the desktop wallpaper dissapears and i have to check the wallpaper option and select a picture only to lose it next time i reboot, any help much appreciated
[02:32] <mgolisch> heoa: visitors?
[02:32] <jeffrey_> marco - i get this E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[02:32] <jeffrey_> E: Unable to lock the download directory
[02:32] <jeffrey_> after running apt- get clean
[02:33] <iceroot> jeffrey_: sudo apt-get clean
[02:33] <Gaming4JC> mgolisch: I installed the wine from the ubuntu repo, it's wine1.2 package. It DID have the menu as you mentioned. I "Marked for Complete Removal" wine 1.2 (to get a clean wine) then I went to Applications>>EditMenu and DELETED the entry. Then I installed wine1.2 it never came back.
[02:33] <blackest_knight> jeffrey_: you are in the difficult position of having no space at all which makes it hard to even delete stuff
[02:33] <Gaming4JC> mgolisch: I also checked for the "Delete line" in the .menu file, it wasn't there

[02:35] <Gaming4JC> heoa: Make a temporary double firewall? Install FireStarter, Go To Policy>>Outbound>>Deny connection to host
[02:35] <heoa> mgolisch: netstat
[02:35] <blackest_knight> jeffrey_:  you need to delete something in your user directory
[02:36] <Gaming4JC> heoa: You might want to check out MoBlocker as well, IPTables firewall.
[02:36] <heoa> Gaming4JC: a router, not a desktop
[02:36] <jeffrey_> ty maco, b_k and cast
[02:36] <hutchic> so updated to 9.10 Netbook remix and all my gnome applets (power, network, display) are missing .... help please
[02:37] <Maletor> Hello
[02:37] <blackest_knight> heoa get the tomato beta its nicer than ddwrt
[02:37] <Gaming4JC> heoa: Is your router running linux of any kind or... ?? you can even ssh into a terminal and setup iptables firewall.
[02:37] <Maletor> I keep getting this error "apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName" no matter what I do. I have uninstalled and reinstalled apache twice. I cannot make this error go away.
[02:37] <Gaming4JC> heoa: If it's a specific router try googling your make and model on router configuration
[02:38] <jeffrey_> how can i swap drive for my o/s
[02:38] <Maletor> I have fiddled with /etc/hosts and /etc/apache2/apache.conf i just want to make things go back to defaults and work
[02:38] <jeffrey_> switch to my big drive
[02:38] <cast> jeffrey_: with LVM.
[02:38] <cast> jeffrey_: but you never answered that question, so nevermind
[02:38] <Gaming4JC> Maletor: try #apache  ?
[02:38] <blackest_knight> jeffrey_:  get gparted livecd and copy paste and resize :)
[02:38] <jeffrey_> cast - lvm is a software or code
[02:38] <jeffrey_> cast - what question
[02:39] <cast> software is code
[02:39] <mgolisch> heoa: whats that connection from, looks like a ssh login
[02:39] <Maletor> Gaming4JC, will do
[02:39] <Gaming4JC> :)
[02:39] <mgolisch> heoa: if thats someone you dont know id worry quite a bit
[02:39] <heoa> mgolisch: huh, clearly mobile phone
[02:39] <Maletor> but I would like to know if any one here has any opinions about what to do
[02:40] <hutchic> Maletor: ignore it, it generally doesn't adversely affect anything
[02:40] <jeffrey_> cast - i dont know what lvm is
[02:40] <blackest_knight> heoa:  logically change admin password and reboot the router
[02:41] <blackest_knight> jeffrey_: lvm logical volumes a method of making two partitions look like one big one
[02:41] <Gaming4JC> jefferey_: If you chose it on Ubuntu install you'd know what it is. It's a special format for formatting HDDs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=141900
[02:42] <Maletor> htchic, i know it doesn't adversly effect anything but i actually need it to work
[02:42] <Maletor> i want to be able to go to mysevername.local
[02:42] <Maletor> so it needs to work with /etc/hosts
[02:43] <jeffrey_> blackest_knight thank you
[02:43] <jeffrey_> error on installing gpart
[02:43] <hutchic> Maletor I get the same error and my virtual hosts still work
[02:43] <blackest_knight> Maletor:  add an entry in your hosts file
[02:44] <blackest_knight> jeffrey_:  you need to delete or move something  you have no space left dude#
[02:44] <Alan502> My audio card is not detected! It is on windows but i lost my audio card in kubuntu, kde even prompted me to remove the drivers as they were "no longer necessary"
[02:44] <Alan502> what could be the possible reasons?
[02:44] <jeffrey_> oh coo brb
[02:45] <_Pb> where does pidgin save file transfers in ubuntu?
[02:45] <Boo-boo> u can choose
[02:45] <jolaren> _Pb; by defauly ur desktop i think
[02:45] <_Pb> oh, ok
[02:45] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: try running: aplay -l
[02:45] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: that will list all possible audio devices, or should
[02:46] <Gaming4JC> !pastebin Alan502
[02:46] <_Pb> it's not there
[02:46] <i_is_broke> ok , no one is answering in #samba so ill ask here, whats the benefits of using samba and is it hard to setup and run?
[02:46] <_Pb> oh well, thanks anyways
[02:46] <Gaming4JC> !pastebin:Alan502
[02:46] <Gaming4JC> dumb ubottu :P
[02:46] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Use pastebin.ubuntu.com to show the results

[02:47] <Gaming4JC> ah
[02:47] <Scott__> vbox will not run your 3d games
[02:47] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, damn, mom calling for dinner, will you still be here in 30 mins?
[02:47] <Maletor> this error is so aggravating, how do i get it to go away
[02:47] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Perhaps, if not some one else should know. You may also want to try #kubuntu (since ur running that)
[02:48] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, ok, i'll be back, thanks :)
[02:48] <Gaming4JC> kk :)
[02:48] <jolaren> How do I write out "dev/sdb1" in terms as exampel (hd0)
[02:48] <hutchic> is it possible to revert / install 9.04 over 9.10 without losing my home directory contents?
[02:48] <Gaming4JC> soooo ppl HOW THE HECK DO YOU MANUALLY EDIT THE APPLICATIONS MENU in Ubuntu??? Thanks in advanced. :D
[02:50] <trism> Gaming4JC: right-click/edit menu?
[02:51] <Gaming4JC> trism: That's the GUI way, I want to see the actual .menu file.
[02:51] <Gaming4JC> text based :/
[02:51] <trism> Gaming4JC: why?
[02:51] <Gaming4JC> Because I need to see if wine is infact installed into the menu and just not showing up. #winehq seems to think it's an ubuntu problem.
[02:52] <lstarnes> Gaming4JC: it's .desktop, not .menu
[02:53] <lstarnes> Gaming4JC: /usr/share/applications/wine.desktop
[02:53] <lstarnes> Gaming4JC: also, check system > preferences > main menu
[02:53] <trism> Gaming4JC: it is not in one location, they are all over the place...for instance the applications links when you install a program in wine are in ~/.local/share/applications/wine
[02:53] <jjames> hey ppl
[02:53] <Gaming4JC> lstarnes: Already checked there many times, and reverted. Still no luck
[02:54] <mgolisch> reverted?
[02:54] <mgolisch> the packagemanager doenst touch user files
[02:54] <mgolisch> it must be something else thats broken
[02:54] <Gaming4JC> System>> Preferences >> Main Menu >> Revert (bottom right)
[02:54] <mgolisch> or you use a non ubuntu wine package
[02:54] <Gaming4JC> restores missing programs
[02:54] <Gaming4JC> mgolisch ^^
[02:55] <Gaming4JC> mgolisch: I disagree, many forum posts reveal the same issue. It's gotta be an Ubuntu bug, anyone who removes wine from the menu cannot get it back. :s
[02:56] <jjames> does netbook remix 9.10  have live mode ?
[02:56] <jolaren> jjames; yes
[02:56] <Gaming4JC> mgolisch: And I have been using the official ubuntu package
[02:56] <jjames> k ty
[02:56] <jjames> imma try it out
[02:56] <jjames> lol
[02:56] <jolaren> Trying to install a bootloader to my external hdd but whatever I do nothing bites.. What hapends if I continue the installation without a bootloader?
[02:56] <jjames> i ahve a notebook which is only 12 inch monitor i think it will be good for it
[02:57] <jolaren> jjames; I have a lg x110, runs smooth =)
[02:57] <jjames> basically anything i can do on ubuntu 9.10 i can do on netbook remix correct?
[02:57] <jolaren> jjames; sure
[02:58] <blackest_knight> jjames try using reiserfs ( i know the support for that was dropped in some earlier versions
[02:58] <trism> Gaming4JC: the directories are stored in ~/.local/share/desktop-directories
[02:59] <blackest_knight> jjames:  gnome-shell is similar to remix but is a package on desktop sys
[02:59] <jjames> oh ok
[02:59] <jjames> i watched the video
[02:59] <jjames> looks hot
[02:59] <Gaming4JC> trism: thnx looking over the directories now, I may have also found something. And it is indeed an applications.menu file in the home directory.. :)
[03:00] <blackest_knight> jjames:  i dislike having all my apps maximised (just dont like remix )
[03:00] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, back
[03:00] <jjames> yeah
[03:00] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, i'm pasting my aplay -l input now
[03:00] <jjames> blackest well if you had  a notebook or netbook
[03:01] <jjames> u would know why netbook remix would be good
[03:01] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Try running some of the tests they did on this posting: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1144923 and ok. :)
[03:01] <blackest_knight> i have Aspireone and a little eee701 both on ubuntu desktop
[03:01] <jjames> blackest_knight have u tried sittin in front of a 12 inch monitor for more than 1 hour
[03:01] <jjames> hurts the eyes
[03:02] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, http://paste.ubuntu.com/345672/
[03:02] <hutchic> can anyone help me debug why the network manager gnome applet can't be displayed?
[03:02] <blackest_knight> yes i use a 9inch screen now , sometimes an ext 19inch as well :)
[03:02] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Also "/join #kubuntu" since your using Kubuntu, ubuntu is not the support for this distro specifically. :/
[03:02] <Gaming4JC> !kubuntu
[03:02]  * Gaming4JC looks over the pastebin
[03:03] <javatexan> is there an easy way to see if my home directory is being encrypted?
[03:04] <hutchic> ok alternatively to actually fixing my problem how can I revert to 9.04 or 9.10 Desktop instead of the netbook remix?
[03:05] <Gaming4JC> trism, mgolisch: Got it! And no I'm not insane, you can edit the app menu from a text file, actually it's the only way. Thanks to this post here it's working perfectly: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6477676&postcount=4
[03:05] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, ok i'm posting my problem there too
[03:06] <B3rz3rk3r> anyone aware of problems with AdBlock Plus today?
[03:06] <javatexan> !encrypted home dir
[03:06] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Ok, I hope they can help you out. I had a client who had an Intel audio chip just like you and it seemed to stop working entirely on 9.10 I think it may be a bug, 9.04 worked perfectly. :(
[03:07] <mgolisch> yeah hda sucks, too many different layouts and component configurations
[03:07] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, my chip is intel as well, are you suggesting i change back to 9.04?
[03:08] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Worst case scenario, but you may want to file a bug at launchpad if we can prove it's a bug. See what the other guys say at #kubuntu first.
[03:08] <mgolisch> usualy this kind of problems can easily be fixed by either overdiging the autodetection or using newer alsamodules or patch them if its somekind of regression
[03:08] <joshua__> so how do I clean up after using ssh oldmachine find / -depth -print0 \| cpio -H newc -o | cpio -imud to transfer install from one machine to another
[03:09] <jolaren> God damnit. I really can't manage to install ubuntu minimal to my eternal hdd
[03:09] <joshua__> I discovered all home directories owned by root. How much more do you suppose I need to fix?
[03:09] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, i still have like 15 updates left tho
[03:09] <joshua__> hmm eternal hdd how much do those cost?
[03:09] <Gaming4JC> !language | jolaren
[03:09] <Boo-boo>  ... maybe now someone xperience with oss and 5.1/7.1 ? :D my last try for tonight.... 4 am passed
[03:09] <joshua__> I'd like one that never dies too
[03:09] <Alan502> Gaming4JC,  i haden't updated for about to weeks... so i don't think the updates where the problem
[03:09] <jolaren> joshua__; It's pretty sweat
[03:09] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, but anyway, updating could solve it
[03:09] <jolaren> joshua__; sweet^^
[03:10] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Hmm yes, running sudo apt-get updates might resolve the issue then
[03:10] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Or just running your default updater application, I believe Kubuntu has one as does ubuntu
[03:11] <Boo-boo> good night to all of u ;)
[03:11] <Gaming4JC> !bye | Boo-boo
[03:14] <Seven_Six_Two> Is anyone on 9.10(64) still having an issue with npviewer.bin? The only bug I can find on launchpad is over 2 years old and it's only confirmed. Flash videos on google video and youtube are pausing over and over (not because of bandwidth) in both FF 3.5.6 and chrome. The bug I found is #141613
[03:14] <firefly> I want to change my display resolution to 1024x768 but in settings/display 800x600 is the highest shown (xubuntu 9.04)
[03:14] <trism> Gaming4JC: never thought you were, glad you got it working
[03:14] <Milostt> I have a question just install squid and configure it according lei but can be operated from webmin, install webmin but do not know how to to manage the squid from there
[03:14] <phaer> firefly: Check your video driver
[03:15] <jsoft_> Hey there, fellow computer users of the intergalactic interweb machine. Im wondering if there is a way to have my track pad gizmo disabled whenever I have a usb mouse inserted? Im getting a bit annoyed, because my thumbs keep resting on the track pad and clicking the cursor into random places, and buggering up my typing. And suggestions?
[03:15] <Seven_Six_Two> and npviewer.bin is using over %50 of cpu on a dual core system.
[03:15] <Gaming4JC> trism: ok, and thanks for your help on the directories though. It helped me clean out some left over wine remnants. :)
[03:15] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, yeah it does, i'll see if there is something related with audio in the updates
[03:15] <timo1> get a qaurd core system
[03:16] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Ok, gl. :)
[03:16] <Seven_Six_Two> timo1, is that response supposed to be for me?
[03:16] <mMezquitale> Gaming4JC, what's wrong with audio?
[03:16] <timo1> Seven_Six_Two: yeh
[03:17] <Seven_Six_Two> alright. It was idiotic enough for me to be unsure. If you're bored, try reading a book.
[03:17] <Gaming4JC> mMezquitale: Alan isn't getting any sound, seems to be related to a detected but not working Intel Audio Chip. I knew some one who had the same problem and was unable to fix it, perhaps it's an unsupported regression in 9.10 since it worked before updating from 9.04.
[03:17] <phaer> firefly: This link may help you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Video
[03:17] <phaer> !bye
[03:18] <Gaming4JC> mMezquitale: Here's Alan's chip info: http://paste.ubuntu.com/345672/
[03:19] <mMezquitale> Gaming4JC, if the issue is related they should file a bug report
[03:19] <firefly> phaer thanks
[03:19] <Gaming4JC> mMezquitale, yes.
[03:19] <Gaming4JC> well, Alan and all I g2g byes and g'night 'tis late here
[03:20] <Gaming4JC> !bye @all
[03:20] <Gaming4JC> !bye | everyone
[03:21] <timo1> Seven_Six_Two:  im multi tasking
[03:21] <mMezquitale> Alan502, follow this guide and you should be able to reconfigure your sound card: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[03:22] <Alan502> mMezquitale, thanks for the link, i'll look at it :)
[03:22] <Seven_Six_Two> timo1, and? That doesn't make your suggestion any less absurd. Quad core so that I can watch youtube? Google didn't sell youtube to M$, did they?
[03:24] <timo1> Seven_Six_Two:  Not yet im sure ms are working on it
[03:25] <dnm> hello
[03:25] <dnm> i wanted some help
[03:25] <dnm> i am new to ubuntu
[03:25] <yinlong> dnm,what?
[03:26] <dnm> thanks
[03:26] <yinlong> dnm,your problem please
[03:26] <dnm> actually i am using a dell xps
[03:27] <briana_> oh
[03:27] <yinlong> dnm,are you making double systems?
[03:27] <mMezquitale> Alan502, if you look at the guide, there's a section that asks you to download a script and it's supposed to upload the trouble shooting info to the web, that portion is broken, just execute the script that is downloaded to your machine and press N when it asks whether to upload the info to the net
[03:28] <mMezquitale> !ask | dmn
[03:30] <DeathMetalDean> I'm pretty sure my flash is messed up. I can't scroll to what time I want in a youtube video and I can't click to play flash games. Can anyone help?
[03:30] <arooni-mobile___> any recommendations on a timer app that can sync with RTM ?
[03:30] <arooni-mobile___> any recommendations on GTD apps for ubuntu?
[03:30] <joshua__> cron?
[03:31] <Alan502> mMezquitale, i think i'll have to use that script, cause none of the above is working :S thanks, but what should i do with the outputed information then?
[03:32] <AyCarumba> I need help with dvd::rip, it wont list data on disc

[03:33] <DeathMetalDean> I'm pretty sure my flash is messed up. I can't scroll to what time I want in a youtube video and I can't click to play flash games. Can anyone help?
[03:35] <Maletor> ok so no matter what i do with aptitude i cannot get files to repropogate into /etc/apache2
[03:35] <Maletor> i mean /etc/apache
[03:35] <yinlong> DeathMetalDean,may you describe it exactly?
[03:35] <yinlong> i will try to make it
[03:38] <joshua__> I once encountered a site claiming to have pirated copies of Linux
[03:38] <joshua__> well since they didn't have any source technically they were...
[03:38] <DeathMetalDean> yinlong, ummm I dunno I just can't really click on flash things, though they do play videos
[03:38] <Berzerker> what does something in ls being yellow mean?
[03:39] <joshua__> Berzerker: does it mean someone typed directly to you like it does for me?
[03:41] <Berzerker> joshua__, I didn't change anything so it's the default, it's a zip I renamed to an .apk (android) and it shows up as yellow, while other apks show up as regular color.
[03:41] <resnoo> where is the best place to find if a mobo will work with linux?
[03:41] <Berzerker> joshua__, trying to figure out why it's yellow
[03:41] <jolaren> Can anyone tell me why the boottime on my ubuntu minimal installation is so extremly long? We are talkin 3-5 minutes
[03:42] <joshua__> Berzerker: sounds like it's using thhe data in /usr/share/magic to know the real file type
[03:42] <Seven_Six_Two> DeathMetalDean, I'm having a flash issue as well. Are you on 64 bit? is anything using up your cpu?
[03:42] <DeathMetalDean> Seven_Six_Two, yeah I'm on 64bit and nothin isn't really usin up much cpu
[03:43] <mMezquitale> Alan502, the outputted information will guide you, it will tell you the hardware that's installed on your machine, the modules that are supposed to be installed, and the configuration that it needs to be working
[03:43] <moats> i was wondering if anyone could offer me any assistance with my keyboard. I am attempting to map my windows key so it will pop open my applications menu in gnome. however, when i go to set the shortcut and press my windows key, nothing is registered.
[03:44] <Seven_Six_Two> DeathMetalDean, from what I understand, there is an issue with npviewer.bin. something about adobe sucking when their 32 bit softs are wrapped for 64 systems
[03:44] <yinlong> DeathMetalDean,chat personally
[03:45] <Seven_Six_Two> yinlong, are you asking for a pm? because in case you missed it, I'm having an issue and could benefit from your sage advice
[03:45] <Steve132> So, I searched the forums and I couldn't find an answer to this, so I was hoping you could help:  I have an older laptop that needs the fwcutter restricted driver
[03:45] <jolaren> gah
[03:46] <Steve132> now, when I put in the liveCD, the restricted driver manager discovered the hardware, and offered to download the driver
[03:46] <Steve132> I refused, because, well, whats the use if its only gonna install on the liveCD
[03:46] <Steve132> so
[03:46] <Steve132> I boot my new install, everything goes swimmingly
[03:46] <thevishy> how do I delete something from the trash
[03:46] <DaZ> Seven_Six_Two: there's 64bit flashplayer
[03:47] <DaZ> and flashplayer sucks without wrapping to 64 :f
[03:47] <Steve132> and I expect the same menu to pop up so I can install my driver
[03:47] <yitz_> I got a friend in Dover Ohio and her Windows laptop is acting up. Is there any chance there is someone here living in Dover that could get her an Ubuntu CD in the next day or two? I'd be glad to pay compensation for the CD/gas/time (but not too much more). Please PM me...
[03:47] <Steve132> but it doesn't
[03:47] <Seven_Six_Two> DaZ, do you know the name? I've been using the adobe nonfree with nspluginviewer
[03:47] <DaZ> Seven_Six_Two: it is adobe nonfree
[03:47] <DaZ> but 64bit
[03:47] <Steve132> going to the restricted driver manager manually shows "no restricted drivers in use"
[03:48] <Steve132> how can I manually force the hardware scan to search for valid restricted drivers, just like the liveCD does?
[03:48] <DaZ> Seven_Six_Two: google for it as  afaik canonical doesn't want to include it to the repos
[03:49] <Seven_Six_Two> DaZ, ok thanks. I just checked synaptic again as you replied. It's still uninstalled so I'll give it a shot and report back here.
[03:50] <blankthemuffin> hi. Having a problem with a) the process of writing a usb boot image from a mac. and b) the terrible documentation of the process on the wiki.
[03:50] <thevishy> any idea how I can exmpty trash in my ubuntu box ?
[03:51] <joshua__> thevishy: rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*
[03:51] <thevishy> thans
[03:51] <thevishy> thanks*
[03:52] <horaz> hola
[03:52] <joshua__> you know there's gotta be a better way but I don't know my way around the GUI file manager
[03:52] <blankthemuffin> the instructions on the wiki are wrong ( they try to get you to use dd to write an iso to the disk, which does not work, and they also tell you to get the .img, which as far as I can tell are no longer distributed. ) and cluttered, spread out over several pages, as well as being way more difficult than they should be. Wondering if somebody could help me get it working, and maybe even write some decent documentation.
[03:52] <resnoo> where is the best place to find if a mobo will work with linux?
[03:53] <horaz> nobody speak spanish?

[03:53] <DaZ> resnoo: motherboards usually work
[03:53] <preecher> trying to install 9.10 on a extra laptop and after i try to boot from the install-it says remove disc and press enter and then system restarts and then it says "loading grub" and then it says error 18 and does nothing more--any ideas
[03:53] <woodyjlw> is there a good utility to download for 8.10 ubuntu to make networking easier?
[03:54] <resnoo> DaZ: i ask becuase it has onboard video and sound, etc
[03:54] <ctmjr> resnoo: ##hardware channel but most if not all will work
[03:54] <DaZ> resnoo: ati works, nvidia works, intel works
[03:54] <DaZ> integrated sound cards probably work [;
[03:55] <resnoo> DaZ: i like the probably part
[03:55] <resnoo> my luck ill get the one board that doesnt
[03:55] <DaZ> resnoo: i didn't use all the chipsets so i can't tell
[03:55] <jolaren> Can someone please answer this question. Is it regular that a ubuntu minimal installation installed onto a 500 gb external harddrive takes 5-10 min to install?
[03:55] <DaZ> but it's usually ac97 so it works
[03:55] <jolaren> I mean, to boot
[03:56] <resnoo> jolaren: hard drive has nothing to do with booting.
[03:56] <jolaren> resnoo; then what does? Why is it so extremly slow
[03:56] <woodyjlw> is networking just really really slow between ubuntu 8.10 and win 7 or is there a utility that I can install to make quicker
[03:56] <arghh2d2> jolaren: to boot a live cd?
[03:56] <resnoo> jolaren: plus booting to an external drive is inherently slower
[03:56] <jolaren> arghh2d2; to boot a external harddrive which i've installed ubuntu minimal to
[03:57] <jolaren> resnoo; So I should stop my project with a portabel media station kinda thingy? It wont get better?
[03:57] <DaZ> jolaren: fsck can take 10 minutes there [;
[03:58] <resnoo> jolaren: having an external hard drive, is going slower to boot. imo.
[03:58] <arghh2d2> jolaren: no, a minimal command line install should take that long even on an external drive
[03:58] <DaZ> jolaren: it should work, turn off the splashscreens to get some output
[03:58] <DaZ> hm
[03:58] <jolaren> arghh2d2; I' wrote it out wrong. The installation time is normal, it's the booting part that is slow.
[03:58] <tonsofpcs> anyone have a way to use my slingbox in linux?
[03:58] <arghh2d2> jolaren: DaZ is right tho, fsck on a drive that big could take awhile
[03:59] <mgolisch> works fine for me, firewire ftw
[03:59]  * DaZ is always right.
[03:59] <mgolisch> :)
[03:59] <preecher> trying to install 9.10 on a extra laptop and after i try to boot from the install-it says remove disc and press enter and then system restarts and then it says "loading grub" and then it says error 18 and does nothing more--any ideas
[03:59] <arghh2d2> jolaren: fsck could take awhile on a drive that big
[03:59] <jolaren> I'll just get a quick usb stick then just load the movies etc on the external harddrive
[03:59] <resnoo> DaZ: fsck runs everytime during bootup?
[04:00] <mrcode> Hi all.  (new here, first time on IRC)  I'm having a problem trying to convert a video to x264 format (.mp4) using ffmpeg.  I have the libx264-65 package installed in Synaptic, but when I try to use the "-vcodec libx264" option, it tells me "Unknown encoder: 'libx264'"  Can anyone help?  sorry if this is a noobish question.
[04:00] <tonsofpcs> try -vcodec x264
[04:00] <tonsofpcs> i think
[04:00] <DaZ> resnoo: it doesn't
[04:00] <arghh2d2> fsck shouldnt take that long unless its ext2 or has seriuosly bad sectors
[04:00] <mrcode> tonsofpcs: nope, still doesn't work
[04:01] <jolaren> What size of a usb memory stick do you recomend for a portabel os? just for surfing probarly
[04:01] <tonsofpcs> mrcode: do you have libx264 installed?
[04:01] <mgolisch> preecher: this means grub cant access the partition or files on it because its beyond the bios addressesable space, is this somne old computer?
[04:01] <Snausages> jolaren: I do fine with 1gb
[04:01] <B3rz3rk3r> jolaren, you can get away with a 2GB with no prob
[04:01] <tonsofpcs> [symlinked to libx264-65]
[04:01] <mgolisch> preecher: id try uopdating the bios or reinstall using a smal /boot partition at the very begining of the drive
[04:02] <Guest> does anyone know how to fix a "post-installation script" error?
[04:02] <preecher> its a older thinkpad r50- i had 9.04 and upgraded to 9.10 and then today i thought i would just install the 9.10 from disc
[04:02] <Guest> im not sure of the exact problem
[04:02] <mgolisch> Guest: look at it? the script and figure out what might be wrong
[04:02] <Guest> mgolisch: what script
[04:02] <arghh2d2> mgolisch: about boot partitions...on a dual booting system, do you need a /boot partition for each distro?
[04:03] <preecher> i just clicked the box to use entire harddrive
[04:03] <mgolisch> Guest: the postinst script of that package
[04:03] <Dyinglight12> hi guys i need help with 2 things. Switching to desktop mode, and getting wine.
[04:03] <Guest> where can i find that
[04:03] <arghh2d2> Dyinglight12: you'll need a fake ID to get wine
[04:04] <Safeway> ! pure gnome
[04:04] <Dyinglight12> cmon
[04:04] <mgolisch> Guest: it should be in /var/lib/dpkg/info/packagename.postinst
[04:04] <Dyinglight12> wats the cmmd
[04:04] <Guest> mgolisch: the error is that when it processes something called "python2.6-minimal" theres an error and the installation crashes
[04:04] <arghh2d2> Dyinglight12: apt-get install wine
[04:05] <Guest> mgolisch: idont thing the problem is in the package script
[04:05] <resnoo> Dyinglight12: desktop mode?
[04:05] <arghh2d2> Dyinglight12: you mean graphic mode?
[04:05] <mgolisch> Guest: whats the exact message you get from dpkg? does it say the post-install script failed?
[04:06] <Guest> ill c & p from the beginning of error
[04:06] <mgolisch> Guest: then have a look at the script and see what it does and why it might fail on your system
[04:06] <resnoo> Guest please paste it in pastebin
[04:06] <Guest> idk what that is
[04:06] <Guest> mgolisch: so im
[04:06] <Guest> um
[04:06] <resnoo> Guest http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/
[04:06] <Guest> mgolisch: here is what the error is...
[04:06] <Safeway> Im having trouble removing the KUBUNTU and EDUBUNTU from startup.
[04:07] <resnoo> Guest paste the message, there and paste the link here
[04:07] <roger21> hi, what would be the way to modify the power management preferences without having the power manegement preferences windows, is there a file i can edit or a comand lien ?
[04:09] <Guest> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d379875e1
[04:09] <Safeway> is there a way i can remove kubuntu from startup?
[04:09] <mgolisch> roger21: try gconf, gnome-power-manager should store its settings there
[04:09] <mMezquitale> Safeway, you mean you dont want to see them in the menu?
[04:09] <mazda01> anyone tell me how to convert a png to a svg?
[04:09] <Guest> mgolisch: that should be it
[04:09] <mgolisch> roger21: there stuff like gconf-editor and gconf-tool for cmdline
[04:09] <Guest> mgolisch: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d379875e1
[04:09] <mrcode> tonsofpcs: you there?
[04:10] <arghh2d2> mazda01: can probly do it in gimp
[04:10] <roger21> mgolisch, ok thx illtry that
[04:10] <Safeway> when i startup it shows kubuntu. sted of ubutnu
[04:10] <Guest> dang it my aid has abandoned me
[04:10] <mMezquitale> Safeway, so what you want to do is change the splash then??
[04:10] <arghh2d2> Safeway: you mean the splash screen
[04:10] <mazda01> arghh2d2, i just opened a svg file, did some changes and then when I went to save it, there was no extension in gimp to save it as a svg
[04:10] <mMezquitale> !splash
[04:10] <mazda01> let me look again
[04:10] <Safeway> I guess, or remove it back to the original state.
[04:10] <arghh2d2> mazda01: try exporting it?
[04:11] <mMezquitale> !splash > Safeway
[04:11] <mazda01> arghh2d2, will do
[04:11] <Safeway> and also get rid of edubuntu, when i boot up.
[04:11] <Safeway> ok
[04:11] <mgolisch> Guest: no the question would be why it failes, something in that script failes for some reason
[04:11] <mOrO^> How can I make a change in a file, through my file manager .... it is read only, and doesnt ask for my password?
[04:12] <mazda01> arghh2d2,  don't see export in gimp 2.6
[04:12] <mgolisch> mOrO^: what file is it?
[04:12] <mazda01> arghh2d2, i see save a copy, or save. then when I look at file extensions, there's no svg. is it a plugin?
[04:12] <mOrO^> mgolisch, timidity
[04:12] <arghh2d2> mazda01: sorry, that all i can suggest..im not a big graphics guy
[04:13] <mgolisch> mOrO^: usualy you dont have write permissions to files outside of your homedirectory
[04:13] <mgolisch> you could start a texteditor using gksu to edit the file with root permissions
[04:14] <mOrO^> mgolisch, it is in filesystem/etc/default
[04:14] <mazda01> arghh2d2, just read on google, to use inkscape
[04:15] <mazda01> arghh2d2, FYI
[04:15] <mgolisch> mOrO^: yeah only the root user has write permissions on /etc/ youd want to start gedit using gksu like so: gksu gedit /path/to/file from a terminal
[04:15] <jolaren> Snausages; thinking I want to boot this ubuntu minimal from alot of different computers.. i should run the x86 version instead of the x64, rite?
[04:15] <mOrO^> mgolisch, yes... x86
[04:16] <mOrO^> mgolisch, ok...let me try that.
[04:16] <mazda01> arghh2d2, i love open source, i just google for answer, then go to synaptic, install it, use it. window's i'd have to pay 19.99 for some shareware garbage that's probably filled with spyware and malware
[04:16] <thevishy> hi all
[04:16] <mgolisch> jolaren: yeah unless you are sure all computers you want to use it with support 64bit
[04:16] <thevishy> can I convert to m4v using ffmpeg ?
[04:17] <mgolisch> thevishy: convert what?
[04:17] <joshua__> you mean that Commodore 64?
[04:17] <jolaren> thats what i thought to :P
[04:17] <merlin2049er> what happened to freecell
[04:17] <mazda01> anyone else use cairo-dock?
[04:17] <mOrO^> mgolisch, Great... Im cool now...thanks
[04:17] <thevishy> quicktime I guess
[04:17] <mgolisch> thevishy: ffmpeg can encode most video codecs
[04:17] <thevishy> from some mov format
[04:18] <thevishy> ok I want to convert , can u tell how
[04:18] <mgolisch> man ffmpeg ? :)
[04:18] <mazda01> is it normal for a maximzed window to stop at the top of the dock? i lose like almost 2 inches of screen space. i could enable auto-hide i suppose
[04:18] <arghh2d2> mazda01: yep...its fun...\
[04:18] <mgolisch> or use some frontend
[04:18] <mgolisch> like super,avidemux or handbrake
[04:18] <thevishy> any front ends known ? man ffmpeg will make me late for work :)
[04:19] <mazda01> arghh2d2, got, behavior. auto hide dock when maximized window
[04:19] <mazda01> arghh2d2, man, cairo-dock has just about everything!
[04:19] <ghost> How do I use ffmpeg to convert my mp4 to a mp2
[04:19] <thevishy> !ffmpeg
[04:19] <arghh2d2> mazda01: what is a dock?
[04:20] <Guest66778> thevishy: do you know?
[04:20] <acespiker> season's greetings
[04:20] <centHOGG> hh
[04:20] <thevishy> what ? Guest66778
[04:20] <Guest66778> ffmpeg
[04:20] <thevishy> oh ok trying
[04:20] <Guest66778> How do you convert an mpg4 to mpg2
[04:20] <Guest66778> ?
[04:21] <thevishy> mgolisch, if I do something like ffmpeg -i ... it will retain the source file nah
[04:21] <mgolisch> thevishy: the source will be untouched
[04:21] <thevishy> mgolisch, can I do something like ffmpeg for a full folder ?
[04:21] <mazda01> arghh2d2, can you type something to me and puot my name in front so I can see if xchat jumps around when xchat is minimized to cairo? please
[04:22] <ethereality> Is there a program that "crops" audio files? I'd like to edit some recordings in terms of length, possibly cut out middle pieces, etc.
[04:22] <islington> what is the command to launch things in the system tray?
[04:22] <islington> mazda01: did it work?
[04:22] <teraboy> ethereality, audacity perhaps?
[04:22] <skreech> Hello
[04:22] <skreech> Does yahoo work in Pidgin for LTS?
[04:23] <mazda01> islington, AWESOME. it spins around and does all crazy stuff. this cairo-dock is super cool with an nvidia card and compiz!!!
[04:23] <ethereality> teraboy: I'll check into it, thanks, but I thought it was music playback software like Rhythmbox
[04:23] <mgolisch> thevishy: yeah you can use a loop and call ffmpeg on a number of files, but youll probably have to experiemt a bit until you useable results
[04:23] <mgolisch> +get
[04:23] <chun> Hi -- anyone know if I can run the ubuntu installer from within a current ubuntu setup?
[04:23] <mgolisch> video encoding can be quite frustrating
[04:23] <mgolisch> :)
[04:23] <chun> so as not to have to bother booting from the live cd
[04:23] <teraboy> ethereality, nope, more of an editor : http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
[04:24] <ethereality> cool, thanks!
[04:24] <mazda01> now the bad part though. vlc isn't working since I enabled compiz. when I open a dvd, the vlc window just has a border and the desktop background in the middle of it. NO MOVIE! darn it.
[04:24] <mgolisch> mazda01: disable compiz?
[04:24] <mgolisch> :)=
[04:24] <islington> what is the command to launch things in the system tray?
[04:25] <oorah> how do i register my nickname?
[04:25] <islington> oorah: msg Nickserv
[04:25] <mMezquitale> oorah, go to #freenode and ask
[04:25] <mazda01> another weird issue is that another cairo-dock will pop up out of no where??? so right now there are 2 running and it's all screwed up. i ahve pgrep it, then kil one. why does another dock one pop up when I didn't tell it to?
[04:25] <oorah> msg Nickserv
[04:25] <oorah> ? didn't work
[04:25] <scunizi> islington: that's two seperate things.. launch is one. systray is another.. the app has to have a systray component to do that
[04:27] <islington> scunizi: what I mean is that there is a command like "command programcommand" that will lauch the programcommand, and will minimize to an icon in the system tray

[05:31] <Firefishe> Burning_Aces:  What were you trying to send me?
[05:33] <MatBee> thats a DCC explpoit

[05:33] <wotsolatsod731> Hello all :) Does anyone know of a good link on how to install WOW on 9.10
[05:33] <j9xinca> Does anyone know how to fix the problem with netbook remix 9.10?
[05:33] <sanzky> anyone knows how to configure ubuntu to do nothing when the battery power gets very low?
[05:33] <FAJALOU> unop:  when i put that in, it ways that it must be run as root, but i don't have to press the button on gnome-panel as root?
[05:33] <unop> sanzky,  why would you ever want to change that behaviour, it's a good thing is it not?
[05:34] <unop> FAJALOU, like i said, it isn't the command used in suspending
[05:34] <FAJALOU> unop:  that one works, so do you know what the command is actually?
[05:34] <hiatus> Sanzky: just go into powersaving options and pick do nothing when battery power is low
[05:34] <j9xinca> Netbook remix 9.10, is throwing a lot of SQUASHFS errors when i boot it from USB. Anyone know why? trying to install to harddisk and cant
[05:35] <unop> FAJALOU, the gnome-power-manager (or equivalent) and acpi handle it using system calls, etc - no commands really used in the process
[05:35] <j9xinca> im guessing maybe i should just go to slackware. Not so many problems like ubuntu
[05:35] <wotsolatsod731> No? Yes? Head for the mountains! nothing?
[05:35] <hiatus> J9xinca: sounds like you installed to usb baddly, I would use a regular ubuntu install anyway
[05:35] <FAJALOU> unop:  what?  can you tell me what/where i can look to see what command occurs when i press that button
[05:36] <sanzky> unop, mi battery sensor is screwed, the battey can give about 15 min, but if I disconnect the AC for 10 seconds it will hibernate, quite annoying
[05:36] <sanzky> hiatus, there is no such option in karmic, just hibernate, suspend and shut down
[05:36] <unop> FAJALOU, what's unclear about my language? i said no commands are used
[05:37] <FAJALOU> unop:  how can no commands be used?!  Last time it was gnome-pwr-cmd, but that is no longer available?
[05:37] <FAJALOU> and so then how would I go about setting up a key combo to send to suspend.
[05:37] <wotsolatsod731> I did the wine thing already but there is a second process that I am missing.
[05:37] <unop> FAJALOU, maybe you need to define 'commands'. do you mean shell commands or API calls?
[05:38] <FAJALOU> unop:  lol.  what  i want to do is link a key combination to a command, or api call, so my computer suspends.
[05:38] <abhilashm86> in virtualbox sound is playing, but in ubuntu 9.10 no sound, please help
[05:38] <hiatus> Sanzky: perhaps you could disable power saving at startup and that would solve your problem
[05:38] <j9xinca> anyone else know ANYTHING about the squashfs errors when booting Ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 its hella annoying
[05:39] <alvaro> some peopel can write
[05:39] <alvaro> how to install decoders for totem
[05:40] <unop> FAJALOU, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=813387&page=2
[05:40] <wotsolatsod731> Yeah I did that but the steps seem to target certain versions. Thank you anyway
[05:40] <unop> !shortcuts | FAJALOU and this too -
[05:40] <alvaro> thank you vm.
[05:40] <FAJALOU> unop: as the forums says; the shortcut isn't working...
[05:41] <wotsolatsod731> Ty
[05:41] <j9xinca> IS there a UNR channel for netbook? i need some help
[05:42] <switch10_> FAJALOU: if you scroll down several posts you will find it
[05:42] <Snausages> j9xinca: this channel is close enough, just ask your question
[05:42] <unop> FAJALOU, but this guy claims it does - http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8309702&postcount=16
[05:42] <FAJALOU> unop:  right yah lowre down.  how does the gui suspend w/o a command/sudo pw?
[05:43] <sanzky> hiatus, that would be laptop-mode, isnt it?
[05:43] <Snausages> j9xinca: ah, I see it in the scrollback now.  Sorry, dunno anything about it myself...  I use unr all the time, have never seen that
[05:43] <unop> FAJALOU, he uses the DBUS command line interface to send DBUS messages to the power manager - not really a command per se and it doesn't require root/sudo privileges
[05:44] <FAJALOU> unop:  is there a way to bind my command to that?
[05:44] <j9xinca> Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10: PROBLEM: when booting from USB stick (the iso is good and setup correctly on USB), i can boot from stick and it works, but commands dont work right like sudo or su just throws SQUASHFS errors. Im trying to install to harddrive, when i boot and select install to harddrive it goes through startup, then quits the ubuntu GUI, goes to a command line, and throws more SQUASHFS errors.
[05:45] <unop> FAJALOU, yea, the code is for a shell script, copy it into a text file, save it, make it executable and then call it passing the appropriate argument/parameter i.e. 'suspend' or 'hibernate'
[05:45] <FAJALOU> unop:  haha. ohk :)
[05:45] <hiatus> Sanzky: if you go to systems > preferences > startup applications you can uncheckmark power management which will disable all power saving options
[05:45] <Firefishe> I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala.  I would like to know how to set up the boot parameters so that I have only the standard terminal message bootup screen, without the splash screen.  Either that, or the splash screen with the bootup output below the Ubuntu logo.
[05:45] <hiatus> At startup
[05:46] <MatBee> howcome i cant get flash to play in firefox?
[05:46] <MatBee> Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.
[05:46] <j9xinca> what about Bus error (core dumped) in UNR? anyone
[05:46] <MatBee> ive installed the restricted extras, and even tried adobe-flashplugin, AND the one from adobe's website
[05:46] <sanzky> thanks hiatus
[05:47] <hiatus> Sanzky: its probably the easiest way to get what your trying to accomplish. Anything else would be a bit of a hassle that I can think of
[05:47] <FAJALOU> unop:  YES! thanks!
[05:47] <Firefishe> MatBee: You could try an older version of Firefox, like the 3.0.14 version
[05:47] <petsounds> j9xinca, just curious, how do you create the bootable usb?
[05:47] <FAJALOU> unop:  i am also having issues with notifications in empathy?
[05:48] <Snausages> j9xinca: the combination of those two errors makes me curious...  have you put this netbook through a ram test?
[05:49] <FAJALOU> unop:  where are custom keybindings saved?  i am still getting an error that gnome-pwr-cmd cannot be found :(
[05:50] <petsounds> j9xinca, i guess if you can boot unr and using it as live session there's an Install icon on desktop.

[06:11] <kermit5327> hi im new to xubuntu
[06:11] <anonymous> I'm new to Ubuntu and apt-get.  What does this mean "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2ED6BB6042C24D89"
[06:11] <dnivra> kermit5327: head to #xubuntu for xubuntu support:). this is ubuntu suppport
[06:12] <dnivra> gantrixx: what did you do to get this error?
[06:12] <gantrixx> apt-get update
[06:12] <kermit5327> im not sure how to do that
[06:13] <gantrixx> dnivra, I'm not aware of any key
[06:13] <dnivra> gantrixx: I think it's ok; I get the error too.
[06:13] <dtownhero> kermit:  what's wrong?
[06:13] <mneptok> gantrixx: you need to install the PPA's GPG key
[06:13] <dtownhero> kermit: I can maybe help
[06:13] <kermit5327> that would be nice
[06:13] <dnivra> mneptok: is it necesssary? will there be any issues if he didn't?
[06:14] <mneptok> dnivra: just error messages during every update and install
[06:14] <dnivra> mneptok: he should still get the updated package lists right? then don't you think it's best he ignores this safely?
[06:14] <mneptok> gantrixx: and if that PPA is hosted on Launchpad, it has a key.
[06:15] <mneptok> dnivra: no, i think it best to install the GPG key
[06:15] <dnivra> mneptok: any place where I can learn how to; would like to know how to do so. think so would gantrixx:).
[06:16] <mneptok> dnivra: every single PPA on Lauchpad has a section for adding the repository and installing the GPG key
[06:16] <zoug> gantrixx: dnivra: modify your sources list and remove any keys other than the default ubuntu archive key
[06:16] <mneptok> zoug: wrong.
[06:17] <zoug> mneptok: ?
[06:17] <mneptok> zoug: the rror clearly states that the PPA he is trying to use has no GPG key installed and thus the package cannot be authenticated
[06:18] <zoug> mneptok: i thought apt-get update doesnt work
[06:18] <mneptok> zoug: right. because the PPA he is trying to use cannot be authenticated.
[06:19] <mneptok> again, install the GPG key referenced in the error, and referenced on the PPA's Launchpad page
[06:19] <dnivra> mneptok, zoug: thanks guys will check them out.
[06:19] <culinor> hello
[06:19] <dnivra> !hello | culinor
[06:20] <teraboy> Im using make-kpkg to compile a custom kernel. It worked fine the first time, but I neglected to enable some drivers, so I reran xconfig, changed some things, but make-kpkg refuses to rebuild the .deb files. Is it required to do a 'clean' every time?
[06:20] <c_nick> I was trying to install gtk2.18 now i got the error "checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.21.3    atk >= 1.13.0    pango >= 1.20    cairo >= 1.6) were not met:No package 'atk' found No package 'pango' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. " but i have installed glib2.22 cairo 1.88 pango 1.26 where could i be going wrong
[06:20] <Brack10> Hi
[06:20] <culinor> i want to migrate from windows to ubuntu and i am wondering what to do with my ntfs partitions, i have important data there
[06:21] <Brack10> I just upgraded to karmic and my Nvidia drivers aren't working.  They don't show up in "Hardware Drivers" like in Jaunty.  How to fix?
[06:21] <Brack10> I have multiverse enabled
[06:21] <c_nick> culinor: keep it like that only.. it will be detected
[06:21] <c_nick> what is this "important" data
[06:22] <mahesh> hello. i am having a network card that worked good till yesterday. now when i ping the modem via NIC i dont get a reply. ifconfig says RX: 0 bytes
[06:22] <mahesh> any way to verify if its a hardware failure?
[06:22] <culinor> c_nick: should use my ntfs C: partition for linux only then?
[06:22] <c_nick> oh.. so its a primary disk..
[06:22] <culinor> by important data i mean documents and other stuff
[06:22] <c_nick> I suggest u take the back up..
[06:23] <c_nick> Linux needs ext3 ext4(u9.10)
[06:23] <culinor> so it's better if i move them to another place and get them back after the installation is finished?
[06:23] <c_nick> do u have a secondary partition..
[06:24] <culinor> i have one HDD with 3 ntfs partitions
[06:24] <c_nick> i suggest if its a 80 GB HDD then keep 10 for Ubutu (/ = root) 40 for Ubuntu (Home) and another 40 (NTFS) for your data :)
[06:25] <culinor> thank you
[06:25] <c_nick> ah culinor so its cool.. you got 3 partitions.. all are NTFS (since u were on windows) so.. why dont u keep all ur data in 2.. of them and convert C: into Linux
[06:25] <c_nick> ie. from NTFS to ext3
[06:26] <c_nick> culinor: do u want dual boot.. i mean windows and Linux? or only Linux ?
[06:26] <culinor> yes, i could do that, but i thought that everything should be ext3 or ext4
[06:26] <karma_police> i know this is a noob question but how do you turn sleep off? i am trying to watch a movie and every 15 minutes my monitor goes to sleep. i have tried adjusting power management functions with same effect
[06:26] <culinor> no, i want linux only
[06:26] <zoug> Brack10: download drivers from nvidia website or use envyng
[06:26] <dnivra> karma_police: system -> preference -> power management
[06:27] <karma_police> dnivra. i did that.. it still goes sleep after 15 minutes... even with movie playing

[06:27] <alex_mayorga> Hi, can anyone assist, please? I think I've been bitten by some form of bug 477104
[06:28] <Surlent777> hey, I think suspect I have a strange permissions-based problem which is preventing me from using bitlbee, gpm, screen, and tor, perhaps centering around /var or /var/run. Anyone willing to try and help?
[06:28] <dnivra> karma_police: the monitor goes to sleep even when you change the "put display to sleep...." to never?
[06:28] <karma_police> yes
[06:28] <alex_mayorga> latest updates hosed my wubi install and I think it took the win 7 partition with it as well
[06:28] <petsounds> karma_police, deactivated screensaver
[06:28] <karma_police> after around 10 to 15 minutes of no mouse activity
[06:28] <dnm> dnirva: my wifi is not working still though the icon is illuminated
[06:28] <karma_police> i have no screensaver set
[06:28] <alex_mayorga> anyone familiar with this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/477104
[06:28] <Brack10> zoug: thanks envy seems to work, should I have stopped gdm first?
[06:29] <dnm> zoug: hi i am back
[06:29] <zoug> Brack10: envy takes care of that
[06:29] <zoug> dnm: sad, using network-manager?
[06:29] <dnivra> dnm: I think you need to connect to the wifi network. not really confident of wifi. think zoug would help out if he can. or maybe someone else.
[06:30] <dnm> zoug: yup
[06:30] <karma_police> hmmm.. i did have screensaver activated.. just no actual screensaver... my bad.. lol

[06:31] <dnm> zoug: how do i get tat
[06:31] <zoug> Brack10: search envy from synaptic
[06:31] <Brack10> nm textual works
[06:31] <hsr> how to install google earth in ubuntu?

[06:32] <zoug> dnm: if you have wired connection to that system, install it by sudo apt-get install wicd or download it from https://launchpad.net/wicd
[06:32] <hsr> so it cannot be installed?
[06:32] <MenZa> hsr: See the above link. It's available in Medibuntu.

[06:33] <zoug> Brack10: its encyng-core and envyng-gtk
[06:33] <zoug> *envyng-core

[06:34] <zoug> Brack10: as far as i know it has an ncurses based interface. can i see those errors
[06:35] <MenZa> zoug: May I point out that envy is a *bad* way to install graphics drivers?

[06:36] <zoug> MenZa: sorry, but it worked for me.
[06:37] <zoug> MenZa: its an easy way for new users, thats what i think
[06:37] <Brack10> MenZa: Any idea why the official way isn't displaying nvidia drivers?
[06:37] <Surlent777> I installed my drivers manually from the nvidia site myself
[06:37] <sleepy_cat> whats a standard prefix.. while doing ./configure
[06:37] <hsr> hello, i have one problem with sound output in ubuntu. The speakers works excellent in  Windows. But in Ubuntu, when i play a song with maximum volume, i cannot hear it whether its playing or not...any idea?
[06:37] <kfizz> Hey, I have a bunch of song files in a directory: /home/usr/Music/Unsorted/ and I've sorted them all and I was wondering if there's a way to get all those files to /home/usr/Music/ quick than copy/pasting, because there's about 12 gigs of files
[06:37] <zoug> Brack10: install from nvidia website
[06:38] <kfizz> quicker*
[06:38] <Brack10> I tried using the nvidia ppa and it worked under jaunty but I get a dpkg error when I try and install nvidia-190-modaliases and nvidia-glx-190
[06:38] <hsr> any one>'
[06:38] <Hilikus> !grub
[06:38] <dxy> is there a netbook iso for amd 64 neo dual core bit?
[06:39] <Hilikus> !grub2

[06:39] <kfizz> hsr, have you checked to see what hardware ubuntu is outputting sound to? Right click volume icon -> sound prefs -> hardware
[06:39] <fbdystang> Hi, a little vpn issue: I am connected to a windows computer over vpn with pptp. Now what? is there a remote desktop viewer for pptp connections?
[06:39] <hsr> HDAIntel(Alsa Mixer)
[06:40] <kfizz> Are there any other options you can choose hsr?
[06:40] <hsr> yes there are many
[06:40] <zoug> Brack10: drivers from the nvidia website works perfectly
[06:40] <Surlent777> I can second that
[06:40] <zoug> Brack10: envyng does the same thing
[06:41] <Brack10> none of the methods I'm using work
[06:41] <hsr> PCM, front, mux and all
[06:41] <Brack10> I think I have an underlying problem
[06:41] <Brack10> this is since I upgraded to karmic
[06:41] <MenZa> Brack10: None at all - but I'm just pointing out that it /may/ cause you issues later on.
[06:41] <MenZa> !wfm | zoug (Just FTR)
[06:41] <Hilikus> when my computer starts i get a message Grub loading then it hangs for some time and then i get "loading Error: No Such Device". the weird thing is that the system still loads fine adn everything is fine but i think that error is making it hang in the bootup process and slows it down
[06:42] <Hilikus> any ideas how to fix that or why i get the loading error but everything still works?

[06:44] <siji> AM using ubuntu 9.10 in my laptop
[06:44] <siji> and everything was working smmothly
[06:44] <MenZa> zoug: I haven't read up on the issue -- and it's almost 8am and I haven't slept, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to run off to bed soon. If there's an nvidia issue, a) check 'Restricted Drivers', b) manually install the relevant drivers from the repos, c) nvidia.com drivers, d) envy -- in that order.
[06:44] <siji> including bluetooth and wifi
[06:45] <siji> but now the bluetooth manger and network manger got disabled

[06:51] <fbdystang> hsr: most speakers nowadays have an amp to boost it from millivolts to something you can hear
[06:52] <zoug> siji: may be your hardware switch is off
[06:52] <hsr> yes fbdystang, but i dont have amp. But yes these speakers works good when in windows but i dnk why the performance is poor in ubuntu.....

[06:53] <hsr> fbdystang: like what?
[06:53] <fbdystang> hsr: if any one of them is turned down, your net result would be a lower volume

[07:11] <luckymurali> how can i get it back??
[07:11] <teraboy> Sahkolihaa, evidently not a default... :/
[07:11] <jschall> doesn't the dcc exploit thing cause a bug in some routers, too?
[07:11] <Sahkolihaa> teraboy: Really? It was when I installed it...
[07:12] <voidmage> used to a few years ago
[07:12] <voidmage> a lot of ircds have it as a killphrase now
[07:12] <luckymurali> how can i recover my password
[07:12] <voidmage> Sahkolihaa: speaking of dcc ignore, i can't find the setting in xchat
[07:12] <voidmage> where did you find it?
[07:13] <Sahkolihaa> voidmage: I think it's actually on by default.
[07:13] <voidmage> hmm
[07:13] <teraboy> Sahkolihaa, well, I guess It didn't accept them, just got the popups. Same behavior on your end? I just installed xchat yesterday
[07:13] <Sahkolihaa> Did you only get 5 requests?
[07:13] <voidmage> i still get the popup with a ton of the MOTHER_... file requests
[07:13] <voidmage> but it auto-aborts them there, the popup still interrupts my game though :|
[07:13] <Sahkolihaa> Yeah but if you only get about 5 of them, then it's ignoring it.
[07:13] <fbdystang> I got 5 with xchat
[07:13] <brummbaer> yeah, that was pretty much a bitch
[07:13] <rredd4> using a dell inspirion amd sempron, can't get 9.10 to load desktop, when it gets to config gdm the screen is black with flashing white lights
[07:13] <rredd4> what can i do

[07:15] <teraboy> Sahkolihaa, yeah, 5 requests
[07:16] <Sahkolihaa> You've probably got that "You are being CTCP flooded..." message somewhere then.

(http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty/Hardware#How_to_fix_strange_mouse_behavior_when_using_a_KVM_switch).  However, my new motherboard doesn't have a PS/2 input, so I'm using a PS/2 -> USB adapter (to connect to the PS/2 KVM).  Apparently psmouse is no longer used for this, but I still have the same issue wit

[09:13] <obiwan_> hi everybody! i have a question. In canonical shop page i found this 'For people or organizations with financial constraints. Please think carefully before selecting this option.'. Does it mean if i can pay for it, i should order it free? I'd like to have it for free, all my friends did have it a couple years before
[09:14] <obiwan_> btw i'm speaking about ordering a desktop karmic install cd
[09:16] <kostkon> !shipit | obiwan_
[09:20] <iceroot> !download | obiwan_
[09:20] <Callum_> the torrents are fast =)
[09:20] <iceroot> obiwan_: its all free (as in free bear)
[09:21] <petsounds> i think that shipit is only for people with difficulty to download ubuntu like slow internet connection or in remote places
[09:21] <Callum_> I can easily get almost 800KB/s from the torrents...and I love on the other side of the world from almost all the seeders on it
[09:21] <Callum_> live*
[09:22] <iceroot> Callum_: 11MByte/s here up and down. running torrent for 3 months to spread ubuntu and debian (27TB Traffic)
[09:23] <Callum_> and this is on the crappiest, most unreliable and monopolistic ADSL2+ connection EVER
[09:23] <Ota> Moin!^^
[09:23] <iceroot> moin
[09:23] <Callum_> lol, my ISPs (very low) caps aren't working at the moment, so I'm not supposed to be this fast but I am
[09:23] <Callum_> caps as in data cap, not speed cap
[09:23] <BlouBlou> !ot | Callum_
[09:24] <iceroot> Callum_: its a root-server. at home i have vdsl (50mbit/s)
[09:24] <Callum_> okay
[09:24] <iceroot> BlouBlou: np, here are no support questions atm
[09:24] <Callum_> we pay NZ$50 for a 20GB data cap, and the maximum line speed (which is probably slow since its on a congested aging copper network)
[09:24] <Callum_> its stupid =/
[09:25] <iceroot> NZ?
[09:25] <Callum_> iceroot: New Zealand
[09:25] <iceroot> ah ok
[09:25] <Callum_> prefer Japan myself, but New Zealand is my second-favourite country (probably because of loyalty to your country and all that)
[09:30] <mada> ji
[09:30] <mada> hi
[09:30] <mada> i have a query
[09:30] <obiwan_> sry iceroot and kostkon i was away, i know about shipit, but the thing i posted is just the text beside the shipit link in their web, so it says that i should ask it free just if i'm really constrained. And about downloading it, i know i can, i just want it being shipped, it's simply something i'd like, just for this time, but if it's recommended to pay... then i won't do either of em hehe
[09:31] <mada> any one there to help
[09:31] <BlouBlou> !ask | mada
[09:31] <jamieleshaw> mada, What is your query ?
[09:31] <iceroot> obiwan_: hm my english is to bad to know what "constrained" is meaning. i will have a look at dictleo
[09:33] <iceroot> obiwan_: ah ok, the problem about shipit is that it takes many weeks, also there is no need to pay for it if you can download it for free

[09:47] <nickoe> Where do I download an official *.img of ubuntu?
[09:47] <winterswift> tnm: http://www.osalt.com/acrobat
[09:47] <popey> nickoe: we ship ISO images, not .img files these days
[09:47] <popey> nickoe: you can use usb disk creator or unetbootin to put the iso onto a usb disk
[09:48] <winterswift> nickoe: http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download if you would like to download the image
[09:48] <nickoe> popey, okay... bad...
[09:48] <mathk> dose some get some issue when doing a drag and drop?
[09:48] <popey> nickoe: its a lot easier to use unetbootin with an iso than dd with a .img file
[09:48] <nickoe> I just think it was easier to use an img
[09:48] <popey> nickoe: you're in the minority :)
[09:49] <nickoe> how can it be easier to use unetbootin?
[09:49] <mathk> I have some weird freeze.
[09:49] <narendra> hi
[09:49] <narendra> can somebody help me for sound problem
[09:49] <kostkon> !anyone | narendra
[09:49] <nickoe> popey, what about saying that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles is not used anymore?
[09:49] <popey> nickoe:  "dd if=./foo.img of=/dev/sdb" is arguably harder for new users than clicking a couple of buttons
[09:50] <kostkon> narendra, what is your problem?
[09:50] <nickoe> but otherwise for experinced users...
[09:50] <winterswift> narendra, do tell
[09:50] <skunk> hi,I tried to compile the k10temp module from lm-sensors...i've downloaded the makefile and k10temp.c file but when I run make it gives an error
[09:50] <nickoe> The wiki is misleading then
[09:51] <skunk> did I miss something??
[09:51] <popey> nickoe: not really, there are still .img files kicking about, just not many
[09:51] <narendra> kostkon: i am using live usb on netbook, this can play sound, but when i install on netbook , unable to play sound
[09:51] <kostkon> narendra, did you try to setup you sound in sound preferences?
[09:51] <winterswift> narendra: netbook sound driver problem?
[09:52] <tnm> winterswift, but with this applications i cannot create empty text fields, or can I?
[09:52] <nickoe> popey, what about a notice in the wiki then? I see that there are img for armel.
[09:52] <narendra> kostkon: after installing, I tried my best,
[09:52] <popey> nickoe: a notice saying what?
[09:52] <kostkon> narendra, ok. eh, could you open a terminal and give:  aplay -l
[09:52] <narendra> winterswift: now i am using live usb, and can play sound,m
[09:52] <winterswift> tnm: i'll look into that
[09:52] <tnm> winterswift, thanks
[09:53] <kostkon> narendra, use a pastebin to paste the output

[09:55] <kostkon> narendra, ok. let me see the paste
[09:55] <LewisDre4m> No one in this entire forum knows what you have to install to play dvds in Ubuntu?
[09:56] <cherva> How can I add more window managers to the login screen's "Session" menu ? When I apt-get a new WM he doesn't appear there :(
[09:56] <kostkon> narendra, are you on the installed system right now?
[09:56] <linuxius> ﻿is there a program which can show pictures AND movies? i.e. I would like to present pictures and movies to my parents with a beamer...
[09:56] <LewisDre4m> I cannot believe no one in here uses ubuntu to play dvds.
[09:56] <cherva> LewisDre4m: mplayer and vlc plays dvds
[09:57] <narendra> kostkon: nope, i am not on installed ,, i have formatted
[09:57] <LewisDre4m> Hello, I am fairly new to linux and had been playing (non shop bought) dvds, I then went to play a dvd from my collection (shop bought) and it seems like vlc was throwing a fit and produced loads of erros and wouldn't play it. What do I need to install in order to play dvds?
[09:57] <kostkon> narendra, hmm ok
[09:57] <LewisDre4m> cherva: I use vlc but it wont play dvds that are bought from a shop eg encrypted
[09:57] <narendra> kostkon: but yersterday i have pasted my all lspci lsmod and other logs on this irc from installed system
[09:58] <LewisDre4m> cherva: ?
[09:58] <winterswift> tnm: from what I can see, you can use the form creation tools in OpenOffice and export as a PDF file from there
[09:58] <kostkon> narendra, eh, there is a possibility that your master volume or your pcm volume is muted when you boot your fresh system for the first time.
[09:58] <cherva> LewisDre4m: just a sec
[09:58] <LewisDre4m> cherva: k sorry.
[09:58] <kostkon> narendra, did you try to access your hardware volumes using gnome-alsamixer?
[09:58] <narendra> kostkon: http://www.pastie.org/pastes/754644 here is my logs from installed system where i cannot use wifi and audio
[09:59] <tnm> winterswift, thanks
[09:59] <effeietsanders> hello. When I woke up this morning, my touchpad on my ubuntu laptop was no longer working... does anyone know how to fix that?
[09:59] <winterswift> tnm: I can't find much that compares in means of GUI and being targeted strictly toward creation of PDF forms
[09:59] <cherva> LewisDre4m: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
[09:59] <winterswift> tnm: http://danilop.wordpress.com/2008/07/02/how-to-create-pdf-forms-with-openoffice/ there's what appears to be a decent tutorial
[09:59] <narendra> kostkon: I have treied alsamiser, lasa-misergui, and gnome-alsamiser, all three and none of them was working
[09:59] <effeietsanders> I have not been able to try and update the driver, because I can't access the System meny :)

[10:01] <rumpsy> How to use single mode during boot
[10:01] <LewisDre4m> tnm: I know how you feel I have spent 24 hours trying to play a dvd. Took me 20 seconds in windows. This is why people don't use linux
[10:01] <rumpsy> What is the steps to follow
[10:01] <winterswift> tnm: I tried using Flash when I was using ubuntu as a primary OS, but Adobe doesn't like to support us Linux-based people :(
[10:01] <cherva> LewisDre4m: did it worked ?
[10:01] <narendra> kostkon: I think usb uubntu behave like root and has access more acess, may be after installing i can get sound from root login , just a guess
[10:02] <cherva> LewisDre4m: work*

[10:02] <winterswift> trijntje: Flash, not Flash Player
[10:02] <effeietsanders> my move-part and click-part of the touchpad are both broken
[10:02] <narendra> kostkon: it there any difference between ubuntu 9.10 and its UNR, as i have not tried UNR yet, and now i can try, but i think conceptually problem will remain same
[10:02] <kenshin> ubuntu does not detect a harddisk
[10:02] <kenshin> :/
[10:03] <jacblac> ive got a problem with my video
[10:03] <jacblac> can anyone help me?
[10:03] <kenshin> but windose does
[10:03] <tnm> winterswift, yes and i do't know why adobe woudn't support linux people. i wonder why ?
[10:03] <jsoft_> Phoar. Im a bit drunk
[10:03] <rumpsy> jacblac: what?
[10:03] <nmudgal> I just upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 & as i use ubuntu software center i got this error   http://pastebin.org/68395    help me out
[10:03] <trijntje> !details | jacblac
[10:03] <simplexio> kenshin: more info. because usually its other way around with exotic sata controllers
[10:03] <kostkon> narendra, yeah. the same, i believe
[10:03] <nameo0> hi im an new ubuntu user
[10:03] <LewisDre4m> I donated $100 to ubuntu now, How Ironic when i'm going to have to switch back to windows as ubuntu cant play dvds
[10:03] <rumpsy> nameo0: so?
[10:03] <jsoft_> nameo0: hello
[10:03] <tnm> winterswift, our graphic department depends most on adobe applications.
[10:03] <jacblac> rumpsy: my graphic is broken since i updatet from 8.04 to 9.10, can't install envy
[10:04] <nameo0> and i bought photoshop windows version will it work on ubuntu?
[10:04] <winterswift> tnm: because there aren't enough of us to get all of their dozen-or-so programs ported to windows and to hire linux developers
[10:04] <trijntje> LewisDre4m, ubuntu can play dvds, what are you talking about?
[10:04] <narendra> kostkon: thanks for time, bye
[10:04] <simplexio> LewisDre4m: far as i know it can
[10:04] <lstarnes> LewisDre4m: it can if you have libdvdread and libdvdcss installed
[10:04] <nmudgal> ubottu:  I just upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 & as i use ubuntu software center i got this error   http://pastebin.org/68395    help me out
[10:04] <kostkon> narendra, :)
[10:04] <lstarnes> LewisDre4m: installing libdvdcss is a bit tricky, but it is doable
[10:04] <rumpsy> jacblac: can you check you graphic card name
[10:05] <nameo0> will windows programs work in ubuntu?
[10:05] <rumpsy> ya
[10:05] <rumpsy> use wine
[10:05] <lstarnes> nameo0: some will with wine
[10:05] <effeietsanders> does anyone at least know how to access the topbar menus without a mouse?
[10:05] <rob_p> LewisDre4m: You've been talking about going back to Windows for days...  I'm calling your bluff!  I think you're hooked!  :-)
[10:05] <rumpsy> nameo0: use wine to execute win app
[10:05] <antonia> hey, i'mi having problems with my wireless after an upgrade to 9.10
[10:05] <jacblac> rumpsy: yep its an ati radeon 7500 (mobility i think, its ibm t41)
[10:05] <LewisDre4m> going to go back today
[10:05] <winterswift> nameo0: check the WineDB for a list of tested programs and the results
[10:05] <antonia> it doesnt seem like knetworkmanager can enable my wireless
[10:05] <antonia> however wired works fine
[10:05] <enzotib> effeietsanders: Alt-F1 ?
[10:05] <nmudgal> rumpsy: :   I just upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 & as i use ubuntu software center i got this error   http://pastebin.org/68395    help!!!
[10:05] <LewisDre4m> For anyone who commented on me playing dvds ty for your help but I still cant.
[10:05] <simplexio> nameo0: some, if you use wine. all non accelerated if you use vboxed windos (requires win lisence)
[10:06] <trijntje> nmudgal, please dont repeat
[10:06] <trijntje> nmudgal, can you go to a terminal and do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:06] <rumpsy> jacblac: do dpkg-reconfigure x11
[10:06] <LewisDre4m> Thank you for your help, it hasn't worked so will go back to windows but was fun playing with linux anyway. Right I got to go format hdd. See you
[10:06] <nmudgal> trijntje: ok yes i can
[10:06] <winterswift> nameo0: many programs will run very differently on different systems when using wine, and not all versions of a program will run the same
[10:06] <trijntje> !dvd
[10:07] <effeietsanders> enzotib: thanks
[10:07] <toki78> hi
[10:07] <toki78> i have a problem with sound
[10:07] <cherva> How can I add more window managers to the login screen's "Session" menu ? When I apt-get a new WM he doesn't appear there :(
[10:07] <aviator> #ubuntu-fr
[10:07] <trijntje> I dont get whats lewisDre4m was talking about, I had dvd support in half a minute..
[10:07] <nmudgal> trijntje: waiting....
[10:07] <winterswift> toki78: do tell
[10:07] <tnm> winterswift, yes but some countries are starting to use linux in offices, (France, Belgium, i think that India also). but it looks like this isn't enough for them. Maybe they have a hidden contract with Microsoft, and it says in the contract that they must not develop adobe applications under linux OS
[10:08] <jacblac> rumpsy: it's not installed, terminal said
[10:08] <effeietsanders> hmm, so ubuntu doesn't recognize my touchpad at all. I am not aware of any changes I made, it just fell off... Is there a way to get my touchpad back detected?
[10:08] <Firefishe> I would like to create an entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst that would allow me to do an fsck, and nothing more.  I have read about the removing of the fsck option in the 'friendly-recovery' menu option list.
[10:09] <toki78> winterswift, when kde starts, i hear the startup sound. After a while or after standby kde tells me that sound device doesnt work
[10:09] <nanomad> effeietsanders, does the liveCD work for you=
[10:09] <winterswift> tnm: not to say they don't have enough money to hire linux developers, and the time and resources to port their programs, rather, they're just lazy if you ask me
[10:09] <nmudgal> trijntje: i did that !
[10:09] <effeietsanders> nanomad: what is LiveCD? doesn't ring a bell
[10:09] <toki78> winterswift, amarok cannot play sound, neither can firefox
[10:09] <trijntje> nmudgal, now try software center again
[10:09] <nmudgal> trijntje: not working still
[10:09] <d1b> morning is there a doc on restoring grub2 ?
[10:10] <Zosh> hi
[10:10] <nanomad> effeietsanders, the Ubuntu Desktop CD
[10:10] <winterswift> toki78: are you on a desktop? do you have a builtin sound card?
[10:10] <effeietsanders> oh, sorry
[10:10] <tnm> winterswift, i doubt about laziness. Yes, there is money, but probably Microsoft pays them to not add support for Linux, and this look like a logical explanation
[10:10] <toki78> winterswift, im trying to rmmod all sound related modules, but cant
[10:10] <effeietsanders> yeah, I must have one laying around
[10:10] <toki78> winterswift, i have a laptop
[10:11] <winterswift> tnm: you don't think someone would've leaked it?
[10:11] <winterswift> toki78: what make/model?
[10:11] <nanomad> d1b, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2
[10:11] <tnm> winterswift, who Bill Gates, Steve Jobs ? :D
[10:11] <trijntje> nmudgal, In that case I dont know, ask again here, and mention "Proxy authentication failed" in the question ;)
[10:11] <toki78> winterswift, benq joybook r55v
[10:12] <winterswift> tnm: or someone working for adobe who decides they want to leak some info to a reporter for some money
[10:12] <nmudgal>  I just upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 & as i use ubuntu software center i got this error of Proxy authentication failed details :  http://pastebin.org/68395    help me out
[10:13] <c_nick> can i find out the total packages installed ?
[10:13] <tnm> winterswift, yes, but if they don't know for that contract, let's say that the contract is only between CEO's of companies, workers don't have a clue about it
[10:13] <c_nick> uptill now..
[10:13] <winterswift> tnm: what about people in finance? you can't pay adobe without telling finance
[10:14] <d1b> nanomad: k
[10:14] <nmudgal>  I just upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 & as i use ubuntu software center i got this error of Proxy authentication failed details :  http://pastebin.org/68395   guys can anyone help me??
[10:14] <winterswift> tnm: besides, what happened when gates resigned? they made another contract with a new ceo without anyone knowing?
[10:15] <toki78> winterswift, are there known issues about snd_hda_intel ?
[10:15] <Firefishe> how do I invoke an fsck on karmic?
[10:15] <dnivra> nmudgal: are you connecting to internet via proxy?
[10:15] <netwrkspider> hi ny 1 using MAC os here ?
[10:16] <tnm> winterswift, yes, thats a possibility.
[10:16] <nmudgal> dnivra: yes i  do use squid proxy server to connect to internet
[10:16] <netwrkspider> nmudgal: u r using MAC?
[10:16] <tnm> winterswift, so, the only explanation is laziness
[10:16] <dnivra> nmudgal: it's obvious from the error - you need to provide authentication for the proxy:)
[10:16] <Zosh> hi
[10:17] <nmudgal> dnivra:  man i did that but still not anything positive
[10:17] <schoolteacher> i love mac, but only with cheese
[10:17] <netwrkspider> ny 1 using MAC here? i nedd help..:(
[10:17] <dnivra> nmudgal: how did you set the proxy?
[10:17] <nmudgal> netwrkspider: i am using ubuntu not mac
[10:17] <nmudgal> dnivra: that my ISP set ! :)
[10:18] <winterswift> !anyone | netwrkspider
[10:18] <zend_fan> anyone know how to add asp to apache on ubuntu ?
[10:18] <toki78> winterswift, no process is using /dev/dsp, but it is still occupied
[10:18] <dnivra> nmudgal: your ISP sets a proxy? that error you just stated sounds like you need to provide authentication on your machine.
[10:18] <ace619> How can i change the font size  in a theme
[10:19] <netwrkspider> asp sucks wid windows OS
[10:19] <schoolteacher> i tried ubuntu with cheese, but it made my hardware all sticky :'()
[10:19] <tnm> winterswift, it's to bad that adobe doesn't like linux , I like Linux distoros a lot, they rock. It's free, it's working, a few viruses are written for it. But not only adobe, all of other companies don't support linux. In our countrie our bank, if you want to get digital certificate for your account, you must get it under windows OS.
[10:19] <winterswift> !offtopic | netwrkspider
[10:19] <nmudgal> dnivra: my isp handles proxy server & i set proxy in bash.bashrc file
[10:20] <netwrkspider> how can i run mac os on ubuntu?
[10:20] <Linux4Family> hello  to all
[10:20] <chellomere> hello. I'm looking into potentially making my folks run linux. the main problem would be that they're on dial-up and have a winmodem. I've read
[10:20] <ace619> I need to change the menu font size in shiki brave theme.Please help
[10:20] <netwrkspider> chellomere: use PPP dialup connection
[10:20] <winterswift> tnm: so do I, the only real reason I use Windows is because nobody feels like writing their programs for linux when it comes to large corporations
[10:20] <Linux4Family> i need to your help can you help me
[10:20] <chellomere> netwrkspider, sorry, I pressed enter prematurely :)
[10:20] <dnivra> nmudgal: just verify that the proxy is set properly from the command line using "echo $http_proxy"
[10:20] <winterswift> !anyone | Linux4Family
[10:21] <schoolteacher> dial up....try to make the win modem work with karmic cd i would say
[10:21] <nmudgal> dnivra: check this http://pastebin.org/68397 how did i set it
[10:21] <nmudgal> dnivra: i can install things using terminal but not from software center
[10:21] <dnivra> nmudgal: that's cos the proxy is set only in the terminal:)
[10:22] <chellomere> I've read that some winmodems will work on linux, thanks to the linmodem project. but is there a nice gui on ubuntu that helps you perform the dial-up? on windows there's this dialog that appears when you try to access something on the net, something similar would be very convenient
[10:22] <ace619> I need to change the menu font size in shiki brave theme.Please help
[10:22] <Linux4Family> i dont have sound divce in sound perfer but i have sound . have i can fix it
[10:22] <dnivra> nmudgal: the proxy settings from bash.bashrc only applies to bash which is terminal!
[10:22] <nmudgal> dnivra: then tell me how to set it for whole one
[10:22] <winterswift> toki8: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[10:22] <dnivra> nmudgal: system -> preferences -> network proxy. set it there
[10:22] <nmudgal> dnivra: yeah i know that
[10:22] <nmudgal> dnivra: yes i did it too here
[10:22] <lint_> ace619: go to appearance preferences and then select the customise button
[10:23] <schoolteacher> set system wide proxy or start synaptic from the terminal
[10:23] <chellomere> schoolteacher, using that to test whether I can get it to work at all is an idea, yeah.
[10:23] <tnm> winterswift, yes, me also. let's hope things will get better, or let's hope that people will start to use Linux distros more, so large development corporations will start seeing things in pinguin way :D
[10:23] <winterswift> toki78: older post, but it might help
[10:23] <dnivra> nmudgal: yup schoolteacher is right: did you do "apply system wide"?
[10:23] <winterswift> tnm: that'd be nice :)
[10:23] <nmudgal> dnivra: yes i did it
[10:23] <nmudgal> dnivra: it's obvious thing
[10:24] <schoolteacher> i'd have to google the heck out of a winmodem ATDT
[10:24] <dnivra> nmudgal: test if the connection is working : system -> administration -> network tools -> ping
[10:24] <om26er> !test
[10:25] <schoolteacher> verify distance  --one ping only!
[10:25] <nmudgal> dnivra: no unknown host
[10:26] <dnivra> numdgal: it returns "unknown host"? then the proxy is not set. just do it once more just to be sure.
[10:26] <nmudgal> dnivra: but GET is working fine
[10:27] <dnivra> nmudgal: why don't you try installing from synaptic package manager?
[10:27] <dnivra> nmudgal: you can set the proxy specially in synaptic
[10:27] <schoolteacher> icmp through proxy may not work... should return a name though
[10:27] <nmudgal> dnivra: bt ubuntu software center was working in ubuntu 9.04
[10:27] <nmudgal> dnivra: i did it there too
[10:28] <dnivra> nmudgal: what did you actually mean by "GET" is working; i didn't get you.
[10:28] <nmudgal> dnivra:  GET www.google.co.in
[10:28] <nmudgal> dnivra: in terminal you can open google in terminal via this
[10:29] <dnivra> nmudgal: like I said that's cos of the entry you added in bash.bashrc file:)
[10:29] <dnivra> nmudgal: i assure you that the error you got and pastebinned is that the proxy server is detected but the proxy authentication is somehow not detected by the server.
[10:29] <sepidev> problem: Couldn't initialize SDL: No available video device
[10:29] <nmudgal> dnivra: yeah that i know but any solution
[10:29] <sepidev> this appears when i'm trying to run glest(game)
[10:29] <dnivra> nmudgal: take schoolteacher's advice - start it from terminal then you'll have no issues.
[10:30] <nmudgal> dnivra: how? from terminal
[10:30] <sepidev> anybody knows?
[10:30] <dnivra> nmudgal: yes from terminal
[10:30] <sepidev> Couldn't initialize SDL: No available video device
[10:30] <sepidev> Couldn't initialize SDL: No available video device
[10:30] <nmudgal> dnivra: but what is the command to start ubuntu software center via terminal?
[10:31] <dnivra> nmudgal: software-center
[10:31] <sepidev> HEEEEEEY : Couldn't initialize SDL: No available video device
[10:31] <sepidev> HELP
[10:31] <sepidev> ...........
[10:32] <FloodBot2> sepidev: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:32] <sepidev> ok
[10:32] <minimec> sepidev: USB Webcam?
[10:32] <sepidev> no no
[10:32] <minimec> sepidev: What kind of ddevice is that?
[10:33] <sepidev> when i'm trying to run GLest (game)
[10:33] <kynarion> hi
[10:33] <sepidev> it uses SDL
[10:34] <dnivra> !hi | kynarion
[10:34] <sepidev> do ya know the problem?
[10:35] <skreem> Is it possible Ubuntu has limited my FPS to 62? It seems to be the max it will reach in my Firefox browser game, Quake Live.
[10:36] <Bziur> hello
[10:36] <minimec> sepidev: Well SDL seems to be a SimpleDirectMedia Layer. It looks that it needs or looks for a video device on your system. Normally /dev/video0. Apparently you don't have a video device connected.
[10:37] <sepidev> but it work fine
[10:37] <sepidev> i have many games on my pc
[10:37] <Bziur> Do older versions of ubuntu have better hardware support than brand new ones?
[10:37] <minimec> sepidev: So if it works, don't worry ... ;)
[10:37] <nmudgal> dnivra: that is too not working man :(
[10:37] <vvccx> hello ,
[10:38] <dnivra> nmudgal: ok. do you know the package name of what you want to install?
[10:38] <sepidev> ok............
[10:39] <nmudgal> dnivra: that i can always do , I know sometimes but sometimes i don't :)
[10:39] <maggs> Hello, I'm wondering if someone can take a minute to help me?
[10:39] <nmudgal> dnivra: i was searching for solutions
[10:39] <dnivra> nmudgal: use synaptic package manager to find the package name and install using command line.
[10:40] <nmudgal> dnivra: hmm that is ok but software center not working :(
[10:40] <kynarion> i got i nice big fat problem for xmas: yesterday i switched my notebook of, today I wanted to restart it, but: One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab/ cannot yet be mounted: waiting for UUID="a long long alphanumeric code". Press ESC for a rescue shell.
[10:40] <kynarion> I can't do anything, the os is left in a very early state and does nothing but waiting for /home (forever)
[10:40] <dnivra> nmudgal: I've never really used the software center but I thought the system wide proxy setting will apply to it too.
[10:40] <minimec> maggs: We all do wonder sometimes ... ;)
[10:40] <minimec> !ask > maggs
[10:40] <nmudgal> dnivra: yeah me too think so ! but something fishy is there don't know what
[10:41] <kynarion> uhm, I forgott: it's karmic and it worked great before
[10:41] <maggs> I want to set up keybindings to open nautilus at the right file, i.e. Super+m to take me to my music folder, Super+d to go to documents, etc. What do I need to put into the commands to do this, if it is possible of course.
[10:41] <nmudgal> dnivra: me too has just started using that i always use terminal for installations
[10:41] <dnivra> nmudgal: perhaps someone else could help you out; i'm not sure how to make it work for software center. i use synaptic or command line
[10:41] <nmudgal> dnivra: software center is bad :(
[10:42] <minimec> maggs: nautilus /home/maggs/music for example
[10:42] <minimec> maggs: You should be able to set the keybindings in the gnome settings or the compiz settings.
[10:42] <dnivra> nmudgal: i'm taking a neutral ground on this since I don't know:). some do like it sure. that's the best part of ubuntu - choices.
[10:43] <nmudgal> dnivra:  yeah i know :) but command line is best
[10:43] <Bziur> Does ubuntu 9.10 have good hardware support for macbook?
[10:43] <maggs> I'm using Keyboard Shortcuts from Preferences, just not savvy enough yet to know the syntax to get these things working.
[10:43] <minimec> maggs: For compiz-settings you may have to install the package simple-cssm
[10:43] <dnivra> (nmudgal: let's not continue on this; it'll go offtopic soon:))
[10:44] <DryGrain> ;/
[10:44] <minimec> maggs: Open a console and type nautilus --help
[10:44] <maggs> Now why didn't I think of that.
[10:44] <dnivra> !help > dnivra
[10:44] <maggs> Ta.
[10:44] <nijm> I'm having trouble with 9.10 and grub. When I boot up grub tells me there's an unknown filesystem (this is after a fresh install). I have 9.10 installed on ATA 1, with the following partitions: ntfs, ext2 (boot), swap, ext4 (root). The bios is set to boot off ATA 1.
[10:45] <nijm> And all those partitions are primary
[10:45] <dnivra> where do i learn ubottu commands?
[10:46] <schoolteacher> nijm boot a live cd.. open /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:46] <schoolteacher> on the ata
[10:46] <rumpsy> if i use Singlemode can i create users
[10:47] <lstarnes> rumpsy: yes, but you don't need to use that mode for creating users if you can use sudo
[10:47] <Firefishe> What would be the result of a 'sudo touch /forcefsck' ?
[10:47] <Firefishe> then rebooting
[10:47] <kynarion> Can the UUID of my /home patition change? And how can I get the new UUID?
[10:47] <nijm> schoolteacher: Am I looking for anything specific?
[10:48] <lstarnes> Firefishe: the system will run fsck while booting
[10:48] <nigelcourtney> Hello, right I am toying with the idea of installing ubuntu onto my sever ( ubuntu desktop edition ), just had a few questions before I begin... would anyone mind sparing a few mins?
[10:48] <dnivra> !ask | nigelcourtney
[10:48] <Firefishe> lstarnes:  It'll just check the ext3 partition, correct?
[10:48] <rumpsy> i going to use that to break root
[10:48] <lstarnes> Firefishe: it will check your root partition
[10:48] <lstarnes> rumpsy: what do you mean by breaking root?
[10:48] <schoolteacher> nijm well, you may have to change hd(0,0) to something else
[10:48] <dnivra> !help > dnivra
[10:48] <rumpsy> root password
[10:48] <Firefishe> lstarnes:  k.  thank you.  And that will only do fsck once, unless invoked again, correct?
[10:49] <lstarnes> rumpsy: root has no password and is locked by default
[10:49] <nijm> schoolteacher: right, I'll go have a look. Cheers.
[10:49] <lstarnes> Firefishe: yes.  the file is removed as soon as it is done
[10:49] <maggs> Does anyone know why the windows key and m invert all the colours on my screen? Mod4+M going by how Keyboard Shortcuts represents it.
[10:49] <schoolteacher> google it up grub - menu.lst
[10:49] <rumpsy> what is default password for root then
[10:50] <Firefishe> lstarnes:  k, good then.  I mean, until the friendly-recovery get's properly situated, that's as good a way as any to do a weekly fsck.  Thanky. :)
[10:50] <nigelcourtney> Ok sorry, It's a HP Proliant Server, 8 x32bit ( i've checked the core name with intel ) XEONS 2.8GHZ and 10GB Ram, mainly I would like to know if the standard desktop edition of Ubuntu would address all memory and also given my experience with Windows 2003 has been less than perfect , how good is it at load distribution accross multi processors,
[10:50] <lstarnes> rumpsy: it has no password by default
[10:50] <lstarnes> !rootsudo | rumpsy
[10:50] <nijm> schoolteacher: I know how menu.lst used to work, but I took a quick look earlier and it looks very different now - more like a bash script
[10:50] <dnivra> maggs: i think that's a feature; the colour inversion thing.
[10:50] <vaporub> if you need one.. sudo su  and then passwd
[10:50] <schoolteacher> my two year old inverted my colors last week. I was stumped
[10:51] <lstarnes> vaporub: that isn't recommended.  sudo -i is preferred over sudo su
[10:51] <rumpsy> but during installation it asks for root password!
[10:51]  * dnivra agrees with lstarnes on sudo -i over sudo su
[10:51] <lstarnes> rumpsy: that is not the root password
[10:51] <lstarnes> rumpsy: that is your user's password
[10:51] <lstarnes> rumpsy: you are using ubuntu, right?
[10:51] <minimec> maggs: I guess that you have a compiz plugin enabled that uses this shortcut
[10:51] <rumpsy> ya
[10:52] <maggs> pain, I thought I'd disabled compiz.
[10:52] <rumpsy> i seen,  it asked for type root password!
[10:52] <tsimpson> nigelcourtney: if you get the amd64 version it will be able to use all 10GB, I'm not sure how the core distribution algorithm works, but linux has been used on multi-core/cpu systems for many years
[10:52] <rumpsy> root is a user right?
[10:52] <dnivra> minimec: is it compiz setting and not an ubuntu thing?
[10:52] <lstarnes> rumpsy: are you using the desktop edition of ubuntu?
[10:52] <rumpsy> yes
[10:52] <rumpsy> its LTS
[10:53] <maggs> just disabled desktop effects and Mod4+M stopped inverting, so yes.
[10:53] <rumpsy> hardy
[10:53] <lstarnes> rumpsy: ignore the root password thing in the installer.  It is probably a typo or something
[10:53] <nigelcourtney> tsimson: thanks for the reply, surely the AMD64 version is compiled for the AMD set of chips? or am I missing something
[10:54] <nigelcourtney> tsimpson: thanks for the reply, surely the AMD64 version is compiled for the AMD set of chips? or am I missing something, sorry typing with fag in had.
[10:54] <dnivra> niglecourtney: i think amd64 refers to 64 bit systems and not AMD chips.
[10:54] <lstarnes> nigelcourtney: it will work on 64-bit intel
[10:54] <tsimpson> nigelcourtney: amd64 is the architecture standard, both AMD and Intel use it
[10:54] <rumpsy> Who is root then?
[10:54] <minimec> dnivra: you mean that Super+m problem of maggs? I guess yes, as compiz normally uses the Super Button as mod button
[10:54] <tsimpson> nigelcourtney: just like AMD used the x86 standard before 64 bit came along
[10:55] <lstarnes> rumpsy: root is the superuser or administrator account
[10:55] <hiatus> So, whatever happened to those ubuntu phone rumors?
[10:55] <nigelcourtney> tsimpson: ok, I know this sounds stupid but I looked on the Intel website and it says that the XEON chips I have are only 32bit?
[10:55] <dnivra> minimec: yeah the super + M; sorry I wasn't clear. but I thought that those were also possible in machines without compizconfig manager too?
[10:56] <maggs> Aye, I've now disabled compiz effects as I rarely use them anyway, just need to find the command to make the Music folder open now, so far, not much luck.
[10:57] <dnivra> maggs: just a suggestion - why not Alt + F2 and type in music in that box?
[10:58] <maggs> That works dnivra, but I'm trying to set up most things to a 2-button bind. It's the main thing I miss about crunchbang. ^^
[10:59] <kynarion> could it be, that the UUID of my /home partition VANISHED?
[10:59] <tsimpson> nigelcourtney: a 32bit linux install should be theoretically able to address up to 64GB of RAM with the linux-image-generic-pae kernel
[10:59] <kynarion> blkid /dev/sda12 returns: nothing.
[10:59] <minimec> dnivra: maggs: I would try to to disable compiz once, to see if that super+mm button is still working. Attention. Install simple-cssm first. Otherwise you may have to reconfigure your compiz desktop.
[11:00] <minimec> dnivra: maggs: A nice way to open the folders is gnome-do. You can open gnome-do with super+space and type music or home in the launcher-window.
[11:00] <nigelcourtney> timpson, so I could install my current copy of Ubuntu 32bit on there, Do you know if the current compiled kernel would support PAE I would I need to recompile it to do so. Please excuse my lack of knowledge on Linux having unfortunatly been forced to use windows mostly
[11:01] <tsimpson> nigelcourtney: you just do a normal install, then get the linux-generic-pae package and that will install the kernel with the PAE extension
[11:01] <maggs> "nautilus ~/Music" works in the terminal to open the music folder, but it doesn't work in the Keyboard Shortcuts 'command' box. I already disabled compiz, as I wasn't aware that it was running.. :)
[11:02] <tsimpson> nigelcourtney: with PAE you can access all of the memory, the only down side is that accessing memory over 4GB is slightly slower (but not noticeably)
[11:03] <maggs> Nevermind I'm an idiot, completely managed to forget that my username isn't mus on this computer. /home/maggs/Music works, thank you minimec and dnivra for your time
[11:04] <Allaun> ello
[11:04] <nigelcourtney> tsimpson: fantastic, I found with Windows 2003 that programs were only running at say the speed of one chip, even though the processing was threaded out to 16 different threads... am I being a bit innocent on what multiprocessing is about but I bought this server hoping for it to be a killer machine only to be disappointed with  the perfomance.
[11:04] <dnivra> !hi | Allaun
[11:04] <minimec> maggs: np
[11:04] <dnivra> maggs: it's alright. mistakes happen - that's how we learn:).
[11:05] <dichtbijzee> hi, anybody problems with the rss feed of ubuntu planet?
[11:05] <Callum_> Merry christmas everyone =) Just ticked over to the 25th
[11:06] <dnivra> perhaps you should describe your problem a bit more ditchbijzee?
[11:06] <dichtbijzee> Callum_, wow 12 hours to go here
[11:06] <Firefishe> Callum_:  Merry Christmas.
[11:06] <dnivra> Callum_: merry christmas; 8 more from here:). enjoy.
[11:07] <halvor> hello
[11:07] <dnivra> !hello | halvor
[11:08] <dichtbijzee> dnivra, the rss feed gives a parsing error, both rss1 and 2, feedvalidator doesnt like it either
[11:08] <dichtbijzee> http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http://planet.ubuntu.com/rss20.xml
[11:09] <dnivra> dichbijzee: i don't know much about RSS to help you out; but just that you needed to be a bit more clear about your problem that's all.
[11:10] <popey> I'd be surprised if that feed ever passes a validator
[11:10] <popey> how could it, given lots of individuals post to their blogs with non-standard html
[11:10] <dichtbijzee> dnivra, thanks, i just want to know if i am the only one.
[11:11] <DX_> oi
[11:11] <dichtbijzee> popey, maybe you know about rss in liferea? planet ubuntu is the only one borking.
[11:11] <popey> i dont use liferea any more dichtbijzee sorry
[11:11] <dichtbijzee> popey, any suggestions?
[11:11] <nigelcourtney> Ok, signing off Merry Christmas one and all , hope everyone has a good one
[11:12] <Callum_> Merry Christmas =P

[11:12] <Callum_> my one isn't so merry at the moment though, COMPILE LINUX KERNEL DAMNIT
[11:12] <dichtbijzee> lol
[11:13] <Callum_> include/linux/compiler.gcc4.h:8:4: error: #error Your version of gcc miscompiles the __weak directive
[11:13] <Callum_> this is on a powerpc-linux-gcc that previously worked perfectly...and works perfectly for lots of other software...
[11:14] <Callum_> this version of GCC used to compile Linux fine...
[11:14] <Callum_> it can't still be trying to use the host PC's GCC...
[11:15] <obiwan_> hi please 1 question, i'm ordering a karmic free cd at canonical website, but they didn't ask if 32 or 64 bit, shouldn't them ask? i suppose they'll send a 32 one, but that's useless as i want the 64 one
[11:18] <dnivra> obiwan_: I think it's 32 bit that you get from shipit.ubuntu.com; I've a 32 bit and I ordered a disc from the site.
[11:19] <dnivra> obiwan_: guess you'll have to download the 64bit ISO if you want; don't know if canonical sends 64bit discs.
[11:20] <ChosenOne> hi folks
[11:20] <ChosenOne> i could need some help "locking" grub2 from being edited during boot, are there any nice guides available? :)
[11:22] <giovanna> i neeed help about pulse audio how to set default device ?
[11:22] <obiwan_> dnivra: yeah, that's what i guess hehe, i just wanted to say my friends i finally ordered my first ubuntu cd from canonical, but it'll be useless if it's 32. I have yet a 64 karmic burned cd, i just wanted to have an original one sent by them :$ but guess this ain't my chance
[11:22] <obiwan_> :(
[11:23] <dnivra> ChosenOne: I think you need to check the GRUB2 documentation. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[11:23] <dnivra> obiwan_: don't think your friends will open up your system and check if it's an ubuntu 32 bit or 64 bit. Just conveniently "forget" to tell them it's 32 bit:).
[11:23] <Callum_> OHHHH
[11:24] <makobi> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2  Chosen0ne geh hier hin
[11:24] <Callum_> Its still trying to use the GCC version that miscompiles the __weak directive even though I explicitly state what CC is
[11:24] <dineshram> hi
[11:24] <fireball_> hey all. Q1. Why is my karmic x2 telling me that the hd is full when it's not?
[11:24] <dineshram> hi
[11:24] <dichtbijzee> fireball_, how not full is not full
[11:24] <dichtbijzee> ?
[11:25] <giovanna> because is karmic :D
[11:25] <fireball_> Q2. Zoneminder. . . random camera problems etc
[11:25] <Slart> fireball_: what makes you think it isn't full?
[11:25] <dichtbijzee> fireball_, 5 %?
[11:25] <flodine> why cant i load karmic with my acpi on is there a problem with the kernel?
[11:26] <fireball_> dichtbijzee: it says that its used 96 gig, and is 100 percent full. it's a 287 gig hdd!
[11:26] <Slart> flodine: if I recall correctly acpi is implemented in weird ways sometime.. not according to specs and whatnot.. I would blame your motherboard makers.. not the kernel people.
[11:26] <Callum_> fireball_: it might just be using a portion of that
[11:26] <ChosenOne> the grub2 documentation is really rally bad compared to the grub1 doc
[11:26] <dichtbijzee> fireball_, what Callum_ said
[11:27] <fireball_> dichtbijzee: I think also a zoneminder related problem?
[11:27] <ChosenOne> so incomplete
[11:27] <rmn> rm -rf is too slow; only freeing up ~500KB/s.  Any faster way to do it?
[11:27] <Slart> flodine: although the kernel people might have made some mistakes as well..hard to tell
[11:27] <obiwan_> yeah it works haah
[11:27] <Slart> rmn: remove entire partitions.. recreate partitions
[11:27] <fireball_> dichtbijzee: ahh, i don't understand. A portion of what?
[11:27] <rmn> Slart, thanks, but reinitiating the luks-stuff also takes two days.
[11:27] <Callum_> fireball_: use Palimpsest to tell you how much total space the root partition (the one mounted as /) has
[11:28] <Vhozard> Anyone with a 1920x1080 screen here?
[11:28] <rmn> Slart, could it be because it does one folder at a time, and it's filled with small files and hardlinks?
[11:28] <Kamokow> Vhozard: Can I ask why? Are you having a problem with your screen?
[11:28] <Slart> rmn: then you'll just have to wait it out, I guess.. perhaps removing an entire parent fold at a time might be quicker.. I don't really know
[11:28] <flodine> well Slart even if its off it keeps locking up on me im on suse right now and this hurts.
[11:28] <dichtbijzee> fireball_, we think that you only have a bit of your hard disk partioned to use with ubuntu
[11:29] <rmn> Slart, thank you.  i'll just see if it speeds up.  it's an rsnapshot tree, so tons of hardlinks.
[11:29] <Callum_> fireball_: use Palimpsest (called "Disk Utility" in System -> Administrator if you are running GNOME) to tell you how much total space the root partition (the one mounted as /) has
[11:29] <Slart> flodine: without any kind of error messages it's hard to tell what might be wrong..  you could search for your motherboard model in the forums.. see if anyone else have had problems with it
[11:29] <Callum_> Administration*
[11:30] <gdb> ChosenOne: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 -- section 10
[11:31] <fireball_> Callum: like i said, 90 GB is not anywhere near full for a 320GB hdd
[11:31] <dichtbijzee> fireball_, it could be that your root (/) has only 100gb and that zoneminder uses /var for files
[11:32] <gdb> fireball_: What is your inode allocation size?  How many free inodes do you have?  Run 'df -i' and check the IUse% column.
[11:32] <fireball_> dichtbijzee: ok, how do I sort that out?
[11:33] <Qian> Merry Xmas
[11:33] <Vhozard> Kamokow No, I dont have a problem with my screen. I just wanna test the quality of a 1080p video on youtube. But I dont have a 1080p screen.
[11:33] <dichtbijzee> fireball_, use palimpset  System -> Administrator -> disk utility to check out the partioning. also try gdb's advice
[11:33] <flodine> wow i never ever had a problem with ubuntu and it keeps locking up,somebody has got to have that problem.
[11:34] <Kamokow> Vhozard: Oh okay ;) well, cant really help you there, im using a 16:10 screen
[11:34] <Vhozard> ok :)
[11:35] <skreem> Hi. I want to remove Windows and allocate the space to Ubuntu - where should I start?
[11:35] <ChosenOne> skreem: the ubuntu installer gives you that option
[11:35] <dichtbijzee> skreem, do you have a live cd?
[11:35] <ChosenOne> if you havent installed already
[11:35] <skreem> Yeah - ubuntu is already installed
[11:36] <ChosenOne> okay you can use a partition manager, but be careful what you do. the risk of doing bad stuff is rather high
[11:36] <ChosenOne> gparted suits your needs
[11:36] <skreem> Noted. Thanks
[11:36] <ChosenOne> (which is the graphical version of parted, in case you want to do it commandline-style ;))
[11:36] <dichtbijzee> skreem, better use a live cd and the partion manager on that one. delete the windows partition and resize the ubuntu one. backup first!
[11:37] <bouma1> is there support for intel gma laptop video for accelerated dvd decoding under ubuntu or anywhere ??
[11:37] <Callum_> bouma1: not on most Intel video chipsets
[11:38] <bouma1> is there a list ?
[11:39] <fireball_> dichtbijzee: Free % 11482568 Use % 41
[11:39] <Dantonic> anyone here play blue rays in ubuntu?
[11:39] <fireball_> Callum: Free % 11482568 Use % 41
[11:39] <Callum_> fireball_: is that from the filesystem mounted as /?
[11:40] <fireball_> Callum: "Mounted on: / "
[11:40] <Callum_> fireball_: in the case, that is weird...
[11:41] <fireball_> Callum: I know
[11:42] <fireball_> Callum: It reports only 14.6 GM available. What the ?
[11:43] <gdb> fireball_: have you recently deleted a large file?
[11:43] <always_smile> hello there every one,hope all are doing so well,anyone knows how to get chm?
[11:44] <ChosenOne> is it that hard to disable tampering with grub2 during boot? :)
[11:44] <fireball_> gdb: yes. zoneminder had filled the drive :(
[11:44] <gdb> fireball_: Did you delete files that are used by zoneminder?
[11:44] <fireball_> which is part of Q2. . .
[11:45] <fireball_> gdb: yes.
[11:45] <gdb> fireball_: Have you stopped/restarted zoneminder since?
[11:45] <always_smile> how to get chm please
[11:46] <POVaddct> chm? what's that?
[11:47] <gdb> fireball_: Were the files you deleted video files, perhaps large ones?  The reason I ask is that under Unix, you can delete files all you like and the disk will look like it has space available but it doesn't if any application has a file handle open to the file you deleted.  The disk space is still allocated, you just can't see it.  You need to close those open file handles either by restarting the application that has them open or by rebooting the system (i
[11:47] <fireball_> gdb: yes. but trying to delete the offending camera completely (events included) then restarting
[11:47] <always_smile> chm is a kind of file format
[11:47] <zseko> sziasztok
[11:47] <gdb> fireball_: lsof can come in handy in cases like this
[11:47] <POVaddct> always_smile: for which purpose?
[11:47] <jolaren> Does anyone know if Minimal Ubuntu is famous for it's extremly long boot time when put on anything from a usb?
[11:48] <always_smile> POVaddct: to read books that have chm format
[11:48] <gdb> fireball_: Anyway, if you can get away with it, the simplest solution (if this is indeed the issue) is to just quickly reboot it.  I don't know anything about zoneminder aside from the page titles I see in Google when I search for it.  Perhaps simply restarting zoneminder will let go of those files.
[11:48] <always_smile> how i can install realplayer plugin for firefox and VLC plugin?
[11:49] <POVaddct> always_smile: if you mean chm format from windows, that is windows only (proprietary format).
[11:49] <fireball_> gdb: nice try. but so far no luck
[11:49] <gdb> (again, if that's the issue, ie; zoneminder still has handles to those files open, that are now no longer visible to you, but are still allocated on disk)
[11:49] <gdb> well shoot
[11:49] <fireball_> gdb: lsof has huge output, anything specific?
[11:49] <always_smile> POVaddct: i mean it,but its still possible to work it here,i used to have it,until my system crashed
[11:50] <always_smile> how can i get realplayer& VLC plugins for firefox,any idea?
[11:50] <NubieTol> just using apt get
[11:51] <lwb> anyone know some courses about openoffice?
[11:51] <NubieTol> course ? hmmm i think openoffice is easy, we can learn by doing
[11:51] <gdb> fireball_: You might try grepping for the name of a file you know you deleted, see if anything has it open, or the path to those files at least.

[11:52] <sllide> 8710471803094

[11:53] <gdb> fireball_: No worries!  Good luck with it! :-D
[11:54] <NubieTol> chm on linux ? hmmm i has a problem like you, but i search on my synaptic chm reader and you can get the soft for open chm
[11:54] <gdb> lwb: Actually, http://tinyurl.com/y8udxj3
[11:54] <lwb> thank you so much
[11:54] <POVaddct> always_smile: if CHMs are windows executables, you might try running them in wine
[11:55] <Kamokow> CHM's are Windows help files IIRC
[11:55] <POVaddct> Kamokow: maybe they are. i don't use windows at all.
[11:56] <NubieTol> just search in synaptic 'chm reader' :D, i can read chm on my karmic :D
[11:56] <abe3k> hi guys, how do I start an application from the terminal with specific nice/priority
[11:56] <always_smile> POVaddct: someone gave me the command to run chm files with ubutu,but since my system crashed and i had to install a new one,i no longer can open them
[11:57] <always_smile> anybody could tell me how i can install realplayer,vlc plugins for firefoxx,thank you for your help

[11:58] <lstarnes> always_smile: actually, I have the package name wrong.  Try sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc
[11:58] <abe3k> guys, how do I start an application from the terminal with specific nice/priority ?
[11:59] <always_smile> thank you very much istarnes
[11:59] <lstarnes> abe3k: I don't think you can
[11:59] <lstarnes> always_smile: remember to search the package manager if you are looking for something to install
[11:59] <lstarnes> abe3k: actually, I think I just lied
[12:00] <Callum_> does anyone know how to change the include dir GCC uses (the directory specified in 'gcc -print-file-name=include'? I want to change the include directory for powerpc-linux-gcc-4.0.3 from '/usr/powerpc/lib/gcc/powerpc-linux/4.1.1/include' to '/usr/powerpc/lib/gcc/powerpc-linux/4.0.3/include'
[12:00] <abe3k> lstarnes : lol
[12:00] <lstarnes> abe3k: try nice -n # command
[12:00] <always_smile> ok,your help is much appreciated,take care,havea  good time :)
[12:01] <abe3k> lstarnes : nice :> I think thats what I'm looking for thaaanks
[12:02] <osirisx11> apache won't load my python script, i am prompted to download it. i have installed mod python and added it to the site config, and restarted apache
[12:02] <mynyml> my screen is dimming while I'm watching a movie in mplayer. is this a known bug? google isn't being to vocal about it
[12:02] <lstarnes> abe3k: just remember these two things: 1) nice works so that a lower number is a higher priority, and 2) everything starts with a nice level of 0 by default and only root can set things with a lower nice level
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> mynyml:  cjheck the gnome powersaveing/powersettings and screensaver settings.
[12:03] <abe3k> lstarnes : I want to run an application so it won't hog my resources, I think that donesn't need root right ?
[12:03] <lstarnes> abe3k: if you give it a higher niceness than 0, it won't need root
[12:03] <abe3k> lstarnes : cool
[12:03] <mynyml> Dr_Willis: i disabled powersaving and screen dimming and it still dimmed
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> double check them all mynyml  i had a similer issue. Id missed somthing
[12:04] <mynyml> maybe i needed to log out/in after powersetting changes? ...
[12:05] <boscop> why don't I have horizontal scrolling after booting, only after opening gnome-mouse-properties and switching to the touchpad tab?
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> My laptop has moer settings then this desktop box does. I recall the laptop having the same issue. but i had to turn off some stuff in the settings for it.
[12:05] <boscop> I always have it enabled
[12:10] <Dr_Willis> is it possible to get a normal cellphone bluetooth headset (the kind that hang on 1 ear) to work as a headset in Ubuntu? ive tried 2 of the things now. and never can get them to have any sound output. I seem to have them configured and selected in pauvcontrol. but  I never hear anything The Mic does seem to be working.
[12:10] <Callum_> hmmm, too tired and angry, will continue later on...1:09am Christmas Day here in NZ...night everyone, merry christmas
[12:11] <skreem> merry xmas
[12:12] <dichtbijzee> Callum_, good night and merry christmas
[12:12] <Callum_> dichtbijzee: night =)
[12:12] <dichtbijzee> Callum_, gl tomorrow on the kernel
[12:12] <mynyml> Dr_Willis: i remember getting a bluetooth headset to work with ubuntu, but the problem iirc is that sound had to be rerouted to it, which was a total pain. and on top of it skype (in my case) had to collaborate. which it didn't.
[12:13] <Callum_> thanks =)
[12:13]  * Callum_ goes to bed now...
[12:15]  * dichtbijzee hates his broken keyboard on the laptop

[12:17] <zubin71> please help
[12:18] <zubin71> arinokas : a package you could use for creating keys, signatures etc.

[12:19] <arniokas> zubin: I've already achieved :)

[12:25] <ftab> how do I specifiy a different private key for ssh authentication ?
[12:26] <ftab> ssh -i key seems to be not working
[12:27] <jpds> ftab: Have you checked what ssh -v -i <key> host - says?
[12:27] <ftab> nopes
[12:28] <ftab> what does -v do ?
[12:28] <ftab> jpds
[12:29] <Dr_Willis>  -v = verbose
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> -vv = very verbose
[12:29] <Dr_Willis>  -vvvv = .... You get the idea
[12:29] <dichtbijzee> lol
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> I forget hiow many v's sshd supports
[12:30] <Sacho> -vvvv probably prints out core dumps, memory maps, a stack trace and a full binary view of the data you received.
[12:30] <ftab> jpds I tried that and it seems to be using the default key in .ssh
[12:30] <ftab> folder
[12:30] <jpds> Dr_Willis: 3.
[12:30] <ftab> not then one I am trying to specify
[12:30] <jpds> ftab: Aha, maybe you have something in ~/.ssh/config ?
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[12:31] <ftab> jpds let me check I guess I did modified some thing over there
[12:31] <matteo1990> hi all, i have to install VLC with all dependencies on an offline Debian anyone knows how to do without cheking 800 dependecies?
[12:32] <ftab> jpds ok I deleted that file but the same thing again?
[12:32] <ftab> debug1: Host '[example.com]:2222' is known and matches the RSA host key.
[12:32] <ftab> debug1: Found key in /home/aftab/.ssh/known_hosts:2
[12:32] <ftab> jpds
[12:33] <dichtbijzee> matteo1990, packages.debian.org
[12:33] <jpds> ftab: That has nothing to do with which private key you're using...
[12:33] <ftab> jpds I am issuing this command ssh -v -i aftabnaveed-rsa -p 2222 username@example.com
[12:34] <ftab> jpds the private key that I am trying to use is aftabnaveed-rsa
[12:34] <jpds> ftab: Which private key does the debug say it's using?
[12:35] <ftab> jpds the one found in ~/.ssh and aftabnaveed is in some other folder
[12:35] <ftab> sorry aftabnaveed-rsa
[12:37] <ftab> jpds any idea ?
[12:37] <ftab> seems to be I am missing something but don't know what spent almost 3 hours on that :( jpds
[12:37] <POVaddct> ftab: check the permissions of the file aftabnaveed-rsa. they should be set to 600.
[12:38] <POVaddct> ftab: if permissions are too open, ssh won't use that key file.
[12:38] <jpds> ftab: Can you put the debug info ssh -v gives to paste.ubuntu.com ?
[12:38] <visitor> so many people
[12:39] <ftab> POVaddct, the permission is set to 600
[12:39] <ftab> jpds let me do that.
[12:40] <Hald> Howdy folks
[12:41] <obaid> hi Hald
[12:42] <Hald> I wonder what causes sond to stop on my ubuntu intrepix. On Nexuiz (the game) the sound disappears and with Rhythmbox the music stops playing
[12:42] <ftab> jpds, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/f6610feca
[12:42] <obaid> the music stops while u play game ?
[12:43] <obaid> check log files
[12:43] <jeck> ey .. can anybody help me ? I solved my problem with 5.1 sound system on ubuntu klarmic, and now the center doesn't work ! What should I do to make the Center work too ?!
[12:43] <dichtbijzee> Hald, can you choose pulseaudio as sound output in nexuiz?
[12:43] <jpds> ftab: Is the aftabnaveed-rsa key in your authorized_keys on the host?
[12:43] <skreem> I have an issue with sound on my Dell Latitude D620. If I play music through Ryhtmbox and try to play a fullscreen game (quake live) at the same time, the sound does not work in the game.
[12:43] <ftab> yes
[12:43] <ftab> jpds
[12:43] <ftab> it is
[12:44] <Hald> dichtbijzee: umm, no. Not in the GUI configs anyway
[12:44] <jpds> ftab: Have you tried removing the one it's connecting with?
[12:44] <ftab> yes, then it connect if I remove that :)
[12:44] <ftab> jpds
[12:44] <dichtbijzee> Hald, theres the problem, try and kill pulse temprorarly <spelled wrong, i know
[12:45] <jpds> ftab: With that key? That's freaky.
[12:45] <ftab> yes jpds I am trying again
[12:45] <Hald> dichtbijzee: you mean that I should kill pulse while I play the game?
[12:46] <ftab> ok I remove the old one then it uses aftabnavee-rsa jpds
[12:46] <reverebeer> hi ubuntu. does anyone know of any application which would allow me to somehow move around a window that doesn't completely fit on my screen? i have had little enhancement with maximus, by the way.
[12:47] <dichtbijzee> Hald, yes, that way rhytmbox and nexuiz use also instead of pulse, pulseaudio hugs the alsa normally
[12:47] <CShadowRun> reverebeer: alt+drag? :P
[12:47] <reverebeer> CShadowRun: hmm. let me try that
[12:47] <dichtbijzee> alsa*
[12:47] <ftab> jpds, that seems to be quite strange no :(
[12:48] <ftab> my older private key is in ~/.ssh folder
[12:48] <reverebeer> CShadowRun: ahh, that is splendid. thank you! i've had that problem for too long!! (1+ year maybe!)
[12:48] <CShadowRun> hehe :)
[12:48] <Hald> dichtbijzee: but then... can't I just make pulseaudio not to start at all? what should I have it for?
[12:48] <ftab> jpds, even If i change the order in authorize_keys then too it won't work and use the old key
[12:49] <jpds> ftab: Curious.
[12:49] <jeck> ey .. can anybody help me ? I solved my problem with 5.1 sound system on ubuntu klarmic, and now the center doesn't work ! What should I do to make the Center work too ?!
[12:49] <skreem> cut your speakers in half
[12:50] <jeck> lol, my subwoofer will burn
[12:50] <jeck> if I do this
[12:50] <ftab> jpds what else I can do :(
[12:52] <dichtbijzee> Hald, if you try to remove it you will bork your ubuntu. try a script witch kills pulse when you start nexuiz
[12:52] <ftab> jpds I guess the old key is stored some where I mean cached
[12:52] <Hald> dichtbijzee: I see. thank you
[12:53] <jpds> ftab: Edit: ~/.ssh/config and add something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/345894/
[12:53] <dichtbijzee> np
[12:54] <ftab> jpds what about the host known_hosts file ?
[12:54] <ftab> or may ne the local known_hosts file
[12:54] <jpds> ftab: That has nothing to do with it.
[12:54] <ftab> hmm
[12:54] <jpds> ftab: That just stores a hash of the server's identifying SSH key.

[12:55] <kostkon> Promille, check in /home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/
[12:56] <apocalypt> matteo1990: in terminal try "sudo apt-get install vlc"

[12:58] <mphillippi> Good morning...  Has anyone had any issues when attempting a reboot that the system just halts?  I know that 32bit worked okay on this system. (9.10 x86_64 kernel 2.6.31-16-generic)
[12:58] <matteo1990> apocalypt, i have it, but how to download all the packages needed?
[12:58] <dichtbijzee> matteo1990, go to packages.debian.org, there you can search for vlc and also see the deps
[12:59] <matteo1990> dichtbijzee, They are like 10 and each one of them has 2 or 3 dep i think...
[12:59] <geirha> matteo1990: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Synaptic/PackageDownloadScript
[13:00] <dichtbijzee> matteo1990, what geirha says
[13:01] <matteo1990> geirha, trying, ill let you know
[13:02] <rsv> i have 2 network interfaces, i want to set prority to wireless one first and  if it is not able to connect then to eth0
[13:02] <rsv> how can i do it
[13:05] <ovnandan> I am feeling blassed!
[13:05] <ovnandan> oops!
[13:05] <ovnandan> I am so happy that Ubuntu finally working on my PC :)
[13:05] <matteo1990> geirha, the problem is tat i have already installed it on this pc. So if i try to "install" or reinstall only vlc is checked without dependencies...
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> why would  You want the slower wireless first?
[13:06] <ovnandan> Before that I used Windos Xp...but now I think windows was a jark!
[13:06] <Slart> rsv: I'm not quite sure but I think you can put different metrics on the different interfaces.. I think that might change how traffic is routed.. or you could play with the default gateway stuff in the routing table
[13:06] <ovnandan> but Ubuntu should be more easy to be the best!
[13:07] <geirha> matteo1990: If it's already installed, you'll already have the needed dependancies ...
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> ovnandan:  one mans 'easy' is another mans 'crippled to uselessness'

[13:10] <okilljoyo> does anybody use xubuntu?
[13:10] <boscop> lstarnes: yes
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> boscop:  if privoxy is isntalled it sxhould start up automatically at boot.
[13:10] <Slart> okilljoyo: yes
[13:10] <fosser_josh> ovnandan: what about ur system which system u r using

[13:11] <ovnandan> my sound driver is Realtek
[13:11] <boscop> Dr_Willis: because I don't want tor to start at boot. I want tor and privoxy to start when I start vidalia
[13:11] <fengor> obaid: yes but my google fu is not up to the task it seems
[13:11] <Slart> rsv: talking to me? it's SLART .. that you can do it windows doesn't really work as an argument
[13:11] <fosser_josh> ovnandan: not at all sound?
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> boscop:  privoxy is a system service. so it should be starting at boot. not when a user requests it.
[13:12] <fosser_josh> ovnandan: or for specific application
[13:12] <boscop> Dr_Willis: and why does vidalia use the big black comix cursor although my default is DMU black?
[13:12] <boscop> Dr_Willis: s/DMU/DMZ/
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> boscop:  no idea on TOR however. i played with it about 5 mo ago.. and found it to bothersom.
[13:12] <rsv> Slart: all i am talking of is usablilty
[13:12] <Slart> rsv: I'm not very good with router.. you'll have to read the man pages and use google.. you can start by running "route" in a terminal.. it will show you the current routing table

[13:13] <ovnandan> fosser_josh: I am very new to Ubuntu...can you tell me what to do...or what to set?
[13:14] <geirha> matteo1990: Run synaptic on the offline computer, mark the packages to install and then choose to create the package download script

[13:14] <fosser_josh> ovnandan: check out volume controler on right hand upside there is something volume controlller option chek out the config
[13:14] <geirha> matteo1990: Then copy the script to your online computer, run it there, and copy the .deb-files it downloads back to the offline computer ...
[13:15] <ovnandan> Which to open "volume control' or "Preference"?? (fosser_josh)
[13:16] <ovnandan> fosser_josh: in volume control everything is normal
[13:16] <Kamokow> Is there any ubuntu software i can use to broadcast to a shoutcast server?
[13:17] <Slart> Kamokow: I would check out vlc..
[13:17] <Kamokow> vlc can broadcast internet radio?
[13:17] <GuySoft> erUSUL, thanks, asking on #debian now for specifics :)
[13:17] <zeus> ok
[13:18] <ovnandan> In Ubuntu is there any option like sound line in/line out jack selection exists?
[13:18] <ovnandan> and if yes then how to reach it?
[13:18] <erUSUL> GuySoft: if you want to install debian ask; of course; in #debian.
[13:19] <GuySoft> erUSUL, more complex, its migration :)
[13:19] <boscop> why do some applications like vidalia or vlc or the login screen use the big black comix cursor although my default is DMZ black?
[13:20] <hanshenrik> bought a new expensive laptop 7 days ago (with very new & modern hardware), its Core i7 (quad/64-bit), the 64-bit installation "hangs for a long time" until it goes an unlimited loop complaining about "cpu #5", the x86 setup can't access all my ram (yes i can use PAE, but read on), when i boot up ubuntu, it "hangs" 50%++ on the white icon (untill i hold down the power-button long, or pull...
[13:20] <hanshenrik> ...the plug and take out the battery), it can't use my WLAN card (it can use it to the extent that it can "see connections", but it cant connect/get an ip/etc, not even if i add full manual IP configuration), and i have ran all updates, and i have activated all drivers suggested by "system->administration->hardware drivers", didn't help much (exept the scrolling of programs got faster with...
[13:20] <hanshenrik> ...the grapic driver), whilst i also got Win7 on the same machine, with none of these problems
[13:20] <hanshenrik> (so i doubt its hardware-failoure)
[13:20] <FloodBot2> hanshenrik: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:21] <glick> excuse me, can anyone help me with sound in wine
[13:22] <hanshenrik> glick: (not saying that asking in #ubuntu is wrong)  you could try asking in #wine
[13:22] <glick> i cant seem to play sounds in a program in wine
[13:22] <glick> hmm
[13:22] <Slart> hanshenrik: it's not uncommon that very new stuff has problems in linux.. after a while the kernels get updated, adapting drivers and so on
[13:23] <Roasted> whats up everybody
[13:23] <hanshenrik> Slart: its normal that new hardware is practically useless on ubuntu?
[13:24] <Kamokow> hanshenrik: But of course!
[13:24] <eirikb> Hello. I try to install Norwegian languge support, so I go to System -> Administration -> Language Support. Then I hit Install / Remove Languages. But Norwegian from the list only have "Spellchecking and writing aids" under components. What should I do?
[13:24] <Slart> hanshenrik: well.. not new as in newly manufactured.. but new as in new architecture or stuff like that.. , yes
[13:25] <Kamokow> !languages
[13:25] <Slart> hanshenrik: a brand new type of motherboard might not work until the kernel people have had time to pull it apart, test the pieces, adapt drivers, recognize new identification strings and whatnot
[13:26] <hanshenrik> maa :(
[13:27] <hanshenrik> i'm unlikely to find a solution to most of these problems in the near future?
[13:27] <hanshenrik> (like the next 7 days)
[13:27] <dioscuri> clear
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> hanshenrik:  last i had 'to new hardware' issues. it was all fixed by the next release
[13:27] <Slart> hanshenrik: it's basically the same in any operating system.. but the manufacturers release drivers for some systems.. send them a mail and complain about it..
[13:27] <Linux4Family> hello
[13:28] <Slart> hanshenrik: but that won't help you right now.. you could of course try to update to a newer kernel but that's a bit out of scope for this channel
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> hanshenrik:  or some other distrtos have constant updates that may fix many of the issues relatively quickly.
[13:28] <Linux4Family> are there any body to help me to add gnome ppp in network manager
[13:28] <hanshenrik> ubuntu fails to start like 50% of the time (hanging in that white icon forever), what hardware is likely to cause that problem, ideas???
[13:29] <Slart> hanshenrik: sounds like a race condition of some kind.. I would expect it to either work all the time or not at all
[13:29] <Slart> hanshenrik: you could try messing with acpi settings and such.. it might work
[13:29] <erUSUL> hanshenrik: first for an i7 i recomend the 64 bit version; also to see what is going on. remoe the quiet and splash options from grub. that will enable verbose booting
[13:29] <hanshenrik> well that is not the case :p 50% of the time it boots normally, 50% of the time it hangs forever with that white icon (or at least for like 5 hours ++)
[13:30] <hanshenrik> erUSUL: the 64-bit version also hangs a while, then goes in an infinite loop complaining about "cpu #5"
[13:30] <hanshenrik> (dont remember what the error message says exactly thought)
[13:30] <Roasted> hey guys - having an issue - just built a computer and I'm trying to install *buntu, but it keeps erroring out when I try to install. I tried 9.04 and two different CDs of 9.10, all burned at slowest speed, all checked with 0 defects. The error says something about hdd might be bad, or the cd might be bad, etc. When I'm loaded up in kubuntu, every so often it comes up with *recently plugged in devices* as if it's constantly re-reconig
[13:30] <Roasted>  hard drive. What gives? Tried 2 different SATA cables and 2 ports too...
[13:30] <dichtbijzee> hanshenrik, try disabling multithreading in the bios
[13:30] <Chamunks> Portable ubuntu thumbdrive is it possible if so what should I google for those as keywords dont pull anything useful...
[13:31] <dichtbijzee> hanshenrik, hyperthreading*
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> Chamunks:  pendrivelinux.com   or use the unetbootin tool. or the usb-disk-creator tool
[13:31] <hanshenrik> dichtbijzee: my bios does not have options to disable that (or at least i didn't find it)
[13:31] <Neostrider> hey, how do I apply the solution for tps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/432205 ?
[13:31] <Chamunks> Dr_Willis, thank you I'm looking to setup a portable usb thumbdrive seedbox.
[13:31] <dichtbijzee> hanshenrik, what brand is it?
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> Chamunks:  define the term 'seedbox'
[13:32] <Chamunks> Dr_Willis, Something that can share downloaded torrents during high traffic times to earn extra upload ratio.
[13:32] <hanshenrik> dichtbijzee: umm.. dont know how to find out.. but maybe it says here http://www.multicom.no/SystemConfigurator.aspx?q=st:10577372;c:100560;fl:0
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> Chamunks:  you can set up a pendrive with a 'persistant' save file and use it as you would a normal system.
[13:33] <Chamunks> Dr_Willis, Dont worry I wont be telling anyone you told me how to fix this up :P :)
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> Chamunks:  or you could actually do a 'normal' install to a pendrive.
[13:33] <hanshenrik> dichtbijzee: (spesifikasjoner tab)
[13:34] <co_ramah> irc dalnet.com
[13:34] <dichtbijzee> hanshenrik, it is an unbranded oem design, meybe clevo or something like that. waste of money in my opinion, im now trying to fix such a laptop, much older though.
[13:34] <Chamunks> Dr_Willis, well I plan on trying to install rtorrent and an init.d script and openssh thats about it on this thumbdrive.  So that I can go to another computer thats running a totally different OS leave it alone and use the thumbdrives OS to seed off a portable drive.
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> Chamunks:  You can install thise extras on a persistant-save file enabled flash drive installed ubuntu.  the usb-creator tool in ubuntu lets you set one up easially
[13:36] <hanshenrik> dichtbijzee: yeah, i see "clevo co" written underneath it
[13:36] <Chamunks> Dr_Willis, I allways thought that only did bootable install keys, hmm I'll have to look into this for sure...
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> Ive no idea wjhat you mean by an 'install key'
[13:37] <dichtbijzee> hanshenrik, omg, i was right :O, try googling for bios updates/ disabling hyperthreading for clevo and the type nr it says
[13:37] <fanti> hello! does ubuntu need an own swap-partition for hibernating? or could the kernel also suspend the memory to a swap-file on disk?
[13:37] <hanshenrik> fanti: i believe it "used to need that", but not in the recent kernels (at least thats the case in debian..)
[13:38] <Chamunks> Dr_Willis, this is going to end up another one of those geeking too hard to get a good days sleep again.
[13:38] <BrandinA> Bye
[13:38] <BrandinA> woops
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> Chamunks:  setting up a bootable flash drive + save file and isntalling those few apps.. would take me.. proberly 20 min.
[13:39] <bigdavjoker> Having trouble booting vista partition with grub2 after copying the partition from a failing hard drive   I can see the vista partition with grub but all I get is a blinking cursor when I try and boot it
[13:39] <Chamunks> Dr_Willis, Wish you could set this badboy up for me lol its gonna take me for freeking ever to figure out all of the variables.
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> Chamunks:  use the usb-creator tool. have it  use a save file the sizwe you want.. let it do its work (about 10 min for that perhaps) - boot the pendrive - install the apps you need.
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> Chamunks:  not a lot of weirsetuff to it
[13:41] <Chamunks> Dr_Willis, would this play nicely with server edition?
[13:41] <Chamunks> Dr_Willis, I only need a cli on this client
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> Chamunks:  i dont think the server ed plays nicely with unetbootin or the usb-creator tool. Try it and see I guess
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> Chamunks:  or use the desktop ed. and disable gdm
[13:42] <boblesax> bonjour
[13:42] <Chamunks> Dr_Willis, disable gdm? like do a tasksel and remove it later?
[13:42] <dichtbijzee> Dr_Willis, the alternative does work with unetbootin
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> Chamunks:  just make the service not start.
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> dichtbijzee:  but the altnettive is not the same as the 'server' and the alt- just boots to the installer.. not what he wants I think..
[13:44] <Chamunks> Dr_Willis, ... see veriables I'd be terrible with them lol I'm such a basketcase over the holidays.
[13:44] <stier> hallo
[13:44] <TEN> Merry Xmas everybody! There used to be a way to search all RAM for a string from the command line. Not simply less -f /dev/mem anymore; how else could it be done?
[13:44] <Mneme2> Good morning, and Merry Christmas Eve to you all.
[13:45] <dichtbijzee> Dr_Willis, Chamunks  you can install a commandline system with the alternative and go from there
[13:45] <Travis-42> I'm trying to use xclip, e.g. "ls | xclip", and it's simply not changing the clipboard. any ideas?
[13:45] <grawity> TEN: AFAIK, Linux does not allow accessing the entire /dev/mem. And it was the only way.
[13:45] <grawity> Travis-42: xclip -in -selection clipboard
[13:45] <Mneme2> I have been experiencing problems with my fan due to my installation of 9.10.  I have tried various attempted fixes but my fan still switches off on Linux boot and will not switch back on.  How do I override Linux's settings and order my fan to operate at full at all times?
[13:46] <stier> Frage bitte ,würde gern von youtube wars aufnehmen ,nur saund ,! kann mir jehmann hilfen ?
[13:46] <stier> Frage bitte ,würde gern von youtube wars aufnehmen ,nur saund ,! kann mir jehmann hilfen ?

[13:46] <FloodBot2> stier: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:46] <Slart> !de | stier
[13:46] <Travis-42> grawity, ah didn't realize I had to change the selection, thanks
[13:46] <grawity> Travis-42: Remember that X11 has several separate 'selections'. The 'primary' selection is updated when you select some text - middle-click to paste. The 'clipboard' is updated when you press Ctrl-C.
[13:46] <dichtbijzee> anyway to turn up the brightness without using the keyboard/ panel applet?
[13:46] <dichtbijzee> the applet doesnt work
[13:46] <Travis-42> grawity, yea, that's new to me, so I'll have to read about it, thank you very much
[13:47] <TEN> grawity: Seem to recall some restriction for rootkit protection from Kernel 2.6 onwards, but can't quite recall the details. So even root isn't master of its own memory anymore? ;)
[13:47] <glick> does anyone know how i get midi sounds through wine/
[13:49] <Chamunks> dichtbijzee, thanks for the vote on that possibility I have a very short period of time to get this running.
[13:49] <Djarum> Can anyone please tell me what I have to install to play DVD video?
[13:49] <grawity> TEN: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/10505 and CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM
[13:49] <TEN> grawity: OIC http://serverfault.com/questions/82838/cant-dd-dev-kmem-in-ubuntu-jaunty but I'm on Hardy, so apparently the restriction got backported
[13:49] <dichtbijzee> Chamunks, start with the cli and install the server package after that. the alternative does work on usb, this machine was installed like that
[13:50] <Dr_Willis> !dvd | Djarum
[13:50] <Oasa> hi all
[13:50] <Oasa> ........
[13:50] <Mneme> Good morning.  :)
[13:50] <Oasa> my a.out doesnt work... help me out
[13:50] <TEN> CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM it seems
[13:51] <Oasa> help me out please... a.out doesnt work
[13:51] <rubbs> Oasa: are you trying to compile something?
[13:51] <grawity> TEN: btw, why do you need to access the entire memory?
[13:51] <LjL> Oasa: elaborate? what a.out? how does it not work?
[13:51] <Oasa> rubbs : i compiled a c file cc filename.c
[13:51] <Oasa> rubbs: a.out doesnt work i mean i dont get output
[13:51] <Mneme> Does anyone know where I can find instructions on overriding my fan so it remains on?  Very soon my laptop will reach overheat again and switch off.  :(
[13:51] <Oasa> rubbs : wat is actually dis a.out
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> Oasa:  and how are you runnign this a.out ?
[13:52] <grawity> Oasa: Have you tried 'gcc'? Can you pastebin the entire source code?
[13:52] <LjL> Oasa: not getting any output is often the sign of a program running successfully.
[13:52] <TEN> grawity: Application crashes after which I know input data still lingers around in RAM for a while
[13:52] <Oasa> it says bash: a.out command not found
[13:52] <Oasa> lol LjL
[13:52] <Slart> Oasa: try ./a.out
[13:52] <grawity> Oasa: ah, you need ./a.out -- note the ./ part
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> Oasa:  time to learn some bash basics.. run it  like Slart  says
[13:52] <LjL> Oasa: then you did get some output. do what they said.
[13:52] <Oasa> y shud i recurse it every time?
[13:52] <LjL> "recurse"?
[13:53] <Oasa> yeah nw its working
[13:53] <TEN> Texts, so easily retrievable if one has access to all RAM. There was some successor to /dev/mem but I don't recall which right now
[13:53] <LjL> could you type in english words?
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> Oasa:  give the proper path to binaries not in the default path.
[13:53] <rumpsy> Where is LtL
[13:53] <grawity> TEN: /proc/kcore is something similar, but not exactly the same.
[13:53] <Oasa> "recurse" in the sense... why shud i refer to d wroking directory..
[13:53] <Chamunks> dichtbijzee, so like just find a system unplug all the drives install the alt and way we go?
[13:53] <rumpsy> I'm looking for him
[13:53] <Oasa> what is this a.out actually?
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> Oasa:  give the proper path to binaries not in the default path. <--- thats why. Current dir is not in the path
[13:53] <grawity> Oasa: If you do not specify the full path, then the shell will search all directories in $PATH.
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> Oasa:  a.out is the default name for somthing compiled when you dont tell it a name to use
[13:54] <Oasa> hmmm okay
[13:54] <Slart> Oasa: I think it's a security thing.. if you run a command like ls you want to be sure it's the "ls" that the system administrator decided.. not the ls that happens to be in the current directory
[13:54] <grawity> TEN: Also, I'm reminded of a thing called 'coredumps'...
[13:54] <Oasa> grawity : i didnt get u
[13:54] <Oasa> abt binaries n all
[13:54] <Oasa>  cud you xplain to me..?
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> !path | Oasa
[13:54] <dichtbijzee> Chamunks, what do you mean unplug all the drives? you must use unetbootin or similar to dump the alternative installer iso on an usb stick
[13:55] <grawity> Oasa: ?
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> Oasa:  the current directory is NOT in the default 'path'  like it is in windows.
[13:55] <LjL> could you type using full english words, oasa? not everyone here is a native english speakers, and littering your messages with weird abbreviation is likely to hinder their understanding.
[13:55] <Oasa> okay LjL i am used to typing short... i will try my level best
[13:56] <Oasa> dr. will is i am new to ubuntu (or any linux distro) i would like to know more about this and that is why i dont understand the path you are sayin...........
[13:56] <Oasa> saying*
[13:56] <Chamunks> dichtbijzee, ahh okay use unet that could work too I'm just getting really excited I've got a huge freeleech coming up on my favorite site and I want to jump all over it.
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> Oasa:  this is when we point you to some shell/bash tutorials..
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> !bash | Oasa
[13:56] <Oasa> okay dr.willis point me
[13:56] <Chamunks> dichtbijzee, plus I work nights and im up waaaaay past my bed
[13:57] <Oasa> !bash
[13:57] <Oasa> !bash | Oasa
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> Oasa:  thats a bot co mand.. read what the bot just said.
[13:57] <daxu> OASA you can think path like windows
[13:57] <SeySayux> Hi, I'm looking for a 3d modelling tool. Not Blender, a 3d modelling tool.
[13:57] <daxu> where seysayux
[13:57] <Zeonisis> How do I use the bot?
[13:57] <grawity> Oasa: First, path. In Linux, if you just run 'a.out', then the shell will look for 'a.out' in all directories that are listed in $PATH -- but it will never check in the working directory.
[13:57] <LjL> !bot > Zeonisis    (Zeonisis, see the private message from ubottu)
[13:57] <dichtbijzee> Chamunks, ok, use unetbootin to dump the iso on the stick. and install a cli system and after that install the ubuntu-server package
[13:58] <Oasa> why doesnt it check?
[13:58] <grawity> Oasa: So to run 'a.out' which you just compiled, you need './a.out'
[13:58] <LjL> SeySayux: uhm, i'm not familiar with those terms... how is Blender not a 3D modelling tool?
[13:58] <grawity> Oasa: It's mostly for security reasons.
[13:58] <SeySayux> LjL: usually a "tool" is usable...
[13:58] <Oasa> okay..
[13:58] <Chamunks> dichtbijzee, Just to clerify I'm trying to run the full server OS off the thumbdrive not any other drive.
[13:58] <Mneme> On 9.10 my CPU fan turns off when Linux boots and does not turn back on.  I have tried several fixes and none have worked.  How do I set the fan to remain on at all times?
[13:58] <TEN> grawity: Thanks, less -f ﻿/proc/kcore was it - will do for my purposes. Fortunately this is only needed every odd year (hence easily forgotton), but should do the trick! (Not this time around anymore, free RAM got reused in the meantime)
[13:58] <grawity> Oasa: Something like, if you were logged in as 'root', and cd'ed to some user's directory, and he had a malicious binary named 'ls' in it...
[13:59] <LjL> SeySayux: ah, so it's just that you don't like blender?
[13:59] <Mneme> Haha LjL that's how I feel about GIMP.  ;)
[13:59] <Justcameron> hi all. I'm upgrading a server from gutsy to hardy via ssh. after I run sudo do-release-upgrade it asks me to confirm that I want to update via ssh and that it will start another ssh daemon on port 9004. if I type y and press enter it just exits. ie. returns me to cameron@machine$
[13:59] <grawity> Oasa: Second, 'a.out' -- it is the default name for any binary, for very historical reasons. Most people use 'gcc -o myprogram myprogram.c' instead.
[14:00] <Oasa> hmmmm grawity: i dont get when you use binary.
[14:00] <Slart> Justcameron: did you try to reconnect to the other ssh daemon?
[14:00] <Justcameron> Slart: erm, no, I didn't think I had to?
[14:00] <Oasa> gravity: binary means file name .. even i use gcc -o for output
[14:00] <grawity> Oasa: eh, I meant "a newly compiled program", I think.
[14:00] <mazda01> why when using gftp in ssh2 mode, that I need to enter my users ssh passphrase when trying to log into a server that doesn't even need to use a key?
[14:00] <Justcameron> Slart: I probably can't either, because only port 22 is forwarded to the machine
[14:00] <SeySayux> LjL: You could say that after using it exactly one minute, I cannot seem to ever appreciate this "flickering interface", neither this "watch out, an accidential click can ruin your scene", and neither "you need a 18-button mouse and 2 105-key keyboards to use this."
[14:00] <Slart> Justcameron: I'm not sure.. but the fact that it tells you about it would suggest that it might be the case
[14:00] <Oasa> grawity : so binary means compiled program
[14:00] <Zeonisis> Is there an Ubuntu version of Metasploit?
[14:01] <grawity> mazda01: The ssh client cannot know if the server requires a key.
[14:01] <Slart> Justcameron: perhaps it needs to stop the running ssh server to upgrade it
[14:01] <mazda01> gftp is reading ~/daniel/.ssh/id_rsa and I don't want it to because this server (iphone) doesn't require a key
[14:01] <mazda01> grawity, is there a work around?
[14:01] <grawity> mazda01: When you connect, the server sends a list of _allowed_ authentication methods - 'pubkey,password' for example - and the client tries pubkeys first.
[14:01] <dichtbijzee> Chamunks, ok, do you have more then 1 usk drive?
[14:01] <grawity> mazda01: The best way would be to set up pubkeys :)
[14:01] <Justcameron> Slart: I'll look into it, thanks
[14:01] <Oasa> ﻿okay now i understood it is like if i write a pgm with the source "system (rm *.*)" or something like this... and compiled with the output filename as ls when the user writes ls to list directory it will cause trouble right?
[14:01] <grawity> mazda01: The not so good one - edit ~/.ssh/config
[14:01] <Slart> Justcameron: you're welcome
[14:01] <Zeonisis> Is there an Ubuntu version of Metasploit?
[14:02] <grawity> Oasa: Yeah.
[14:02] <kyentei> Zeonisis, Ofcourse there is.
[14:02] <Slart> Oasa: well.. it won't cause any trouble... since it won't run your bad "ls"..
[14:02] <Zeonisis> Where can I get it?
[14:02] <Oasa> another thing. What is the "exe" (or extension) in ubuntu
[14:02] <Mneme> So does anyone know how I might fix my fan?  :\
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> Oasa:  there is no need for extensions like taht
[14:02] <grawity> mazda01: http://dpaste.com/hold/137388/
[14:02] <kyentei> Zeonisis, http://www.metasploit.com/framework/download/
[14:02] <Oasa> or is it just like the compiled progams there is no output.
[14:03] <Oasa> i mean no extension
[14:03] <Slart> Oasa: there isn't one.. you set files as executable.. pretty much in the same way you set file to be "hidden" in windows
[14:03] <grawity> Oasa: Linux uses the 'executable' bit for that.
[14:03] <cfdisk> Ola, alguem aqui poderia me da uma ajuda nas API do flartoolkit ou Artoolkit ?
[14:03] <Chamunks> dichtbijzee, I do but this is starting to sound like a really long way  I dont mind just removing the xserver from a regular install
[14:03] <Slart> Oasa: executables can be named anything
[14:03] <grawity> Oasa: If you used Windows, you probably know about 'hidden', 'read-only', 'system' attributes.
[14:03] <Chamunks> dichtbijzee, might be nice to install nxserver on it anyways.
[14:03] <jpds> !pŧ | cfdisk
[14:03] <Oasa> yes grawity
[14:03] <jpds> !pt | cfdisk
[14:03] <Oasa> i still dont get it
[14:03] <grawity> Oasa: In Linux (well, any Unix system), files have "permissions" - the command 'ls -l' will display them.
[14:04] <Chamunks> dichtbijzee, do you happen to know how to mount a usb key via ssh?
[14:04] <LjL> SeySayux: well, i'm not familiar with those programs to be honest, but i searched for possible alternatives and came up with: k3d, mm3d, wings3d, vertex, kpovmodeler
[14:04] <SandGorgon> anyone with latest ubuntu chromium (4.0.280.0 - 35217 - Ubuntu) ? I am seeing the browser window vanish on several websites (w.g. lifehacker.com) - but OS process list shows chromium as sleeping
[14:04] <grawity> Oasa: Each file and directory has 'read', 'write', and 'execute' permissions. If it has 'execute' enabled, you can just type ./someprogram and it will be executed. The extension does not matter.
[14:04] <Oasa> !bash | Oasa
[14:04] <Slart> SandGorgon: hang on.. let me try that
[14:05] <SandGorgon> Slart, gotcha
[14:05] <Slart> SandGorgon: well.. it doesn't disappear.. but it makes a huuuuuge window.. I've seen it do this every now and then..not sure why
[14:05] <dichtbijzee> yes, if you plugin the usb drive, a /dev/sdXn gets appointed. if you mount that  you can acces the drive
[14:05] <dichtbijzee> Chamunks, yes, if you plugin the usb drive, a /dev/sdXn gets appointed. if you mount that  you can acces the drive
[14:05] <cfdisk> Hello, could anybody here help myself in API of Flartoolkit or Artoolkit?
[14:05] <SandGorgon> Slart, yup that's what happens and in my laptop it sort of disappears
[14:06] <SandGorgon> Slart, gonna file a bug
[14:06] <Oasa> okay continue grawity
[14:06] <Slart> SandGorgon: do that.. if you tell us the url I'll chime in with a "me too" =)
[14:06] <Oasa> is the drwxr -xr -x oasa oasa
[14:06] <SandGorgon> Slart, gimme a minute then
[14:06] <Oasa> is what i am getting when i did ls -l
[14:07] <grawity> Oasa: 'd' means it's a directory (folder).
[14:07] <cfdisk> Does anybody know how to use Flartoolkit or Artoolkit?
[14:07] <Oasa> okay.
[14:07] <dichtbijzee> Chamunks, pm
[14:07] <Oasa> r read
[14:07] <Oasa> ?
[14:07] <grawity> Oasa: Then, three sets of permissions. First 'rwx' belong to the file's (directory's) owner - "oasa".
[14:07] <Oasa> w write?
[14:07] <grawity> Oasa: 'rwx' means the owner can read, write, and execute the file. (For directories it's a little different.)
[14:07] <cfdisk> Don't I get to find a solution for my problems, could anybody help myself?
[14:07] <Oasa> okay
[14:08] <grawity> Oasa: The next three belong to the file's group - 'r-x' allows read and execute. (In some Linux distros the default group is "users". In others, each user has his own group.)
[14:08] <grawity> Oasa: The last three - for "world" or "others". That is, everyone that is not the owner and doesn't belong to the group. In your example, they also have 'read' and 'execute' permissions.
[14:09] <daxu> oasa:just it like windows .you can run or no run exe
[14:09] <grawity> Oasa: The other two columns show the file's owner "oasa", and the group (also "oasa" -- in Ubuntu, all users have their own groups.)
[14:09] <grawity> Oasa: For files, 'r' means "read", 'w' - "write", and 'x' - "execute".
[14:09] <Oasa> okay
[14:09] <SandGorgon> Slart, http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=31118
[14:10] <grawity> Oasa: For directories, 'r' means "read directory" -- that is, see the filenames.
[14:10] <Slart> SandGorgon: thanks
[14:10] <grawity> Oasa: 'w' means "write directory" -- create, rename, delete files.
[14:10] <Oasa> nice.
[14:10] <grawity> Oasa: 'x' allows you to enter that directory - without it, you cannot 'cd' inside.
[14:10] <Justcameron> Slart: other people's guides online indicate that they just press y and things proceed
[14:11] <e01> hello
[14:11] <Oasa> hmm
[14:11] <e01> can somebody help me with installing UNR9.10 on dell 9 mini
[14:11] <Crewsr3_> I want to install Dustin Kirklands test drive....I just need help adding his ppa to my source list can someone help me
[14:11] <Slart> Justcameron: hmm.. might be something else then
[14:11] <mazda01> grawity, is there a way once gedit is opened with gksudo, to show hidden files? it happens to me, then I remember, so I enter the filename within the gksudo gedit command all at once but I am still curious. like say, when I want to edit 2 files back to back with the gksudo privilages. i know I don't need root privilages this time but I am still curious
[14:11] <grawity> Oasa: 'chmod' can be used to change these permissions.
[14:11] <e01> i make a flash drive with iso, but the mini can`t boot from it
[14:11] <Oasa> okay grawity so how do i set the attirbutes
[14:11] <Oasa> okay .. thanx..
[14:11] <e01> it show me an message, operation system not found
[14:12] <grawity> mazda01: Hidden files? In the "browse" window, Ctrl-H should work. If not, try right-clicking on the filelist, should be an option to show them.
[14:12] <eon01> Hello
[14:12] <apparle> there is not sleep option what to do?
[14:12] <mazda01> grawity, now, i don't have a file named config within my user's home dir .ssh. do i just create it?
[14:13] <grawity> Oasa: for example, chmod go+r somefile, would add the 'read' permission to group and other.
[14:13] <grawity> mazda01: yes, just create it.
[14:13] <Mneme> So, no one knows how I might fix my fan so I can unbrick my laptop?
[14:13] <mazda01> grawity, ctrl-h was it. awesome, thanks. learning so much this christmas eve morning! :-)
[14:14] <ehazlett> greetings all... lvm issue.  i have an lvm volume that i resized (lvextend first, then resize2fs).  i'm using it as a xen disk.  once i boot the vm, it doesn't show the new size even though i can write when it has 0 byte's free...  any ideas?
[14:14] <DSLbug> hello
[14:14] <Oasa> what does ctrl + H do.
[14:14] <grawity> Oasa: in Ubuntu's file manager, Ctrl-H shows hidden files (see mazda01's question)
[14:15] <Djarum> I'm having issues playing VOB files,  they play for about 5-10 seconds then stops, I've installed Restricted extras and run the css shell script
[14:15] <Oasa> ﻿I would like to learn more about ubuntu (or basically Linux) and  more about C.  is there a good pdf files so that i can download and read them later i dont have internet always.
[14:15] <trijntje> !hi | DSLbug
[14:15] <mazda01> grawity, i knew that but I didn't realize you could envoke it within an "open file" dialog box is all
[14:15] <DSLbug> could smb help me with establishind dsl connection inn ubuntu 9.10?
[14:15] <Oasa> and i guess that means the filename that starts with . are hidden right?
[14:15] <grawity> Oasa: Correct.
[14:15] <trijntje> !dsl
[14:16] <grawity> Oasa: I think http://tldp.org/ should have some guides in PDF form... If not, it's also possible to download the entire thing at once.
[14:16] <Oasa> so can u suggest me some pdf.
[14:16] <eon01> Hello How can we make ubuntu upgrade from CD ?
[14:16] <apparle> I am unable to see the option suspend to RAM
[14:16] <lstarnes> eon01: you can only do that with the alternate cd
[14:16] <grawity> Oasa: http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/intro-linux.pdf for example ("Introduction to Linux - A Hands On Guide")
[14:16] <DSLbug> thx  ubottu! I try that
[14:16] <grawity> Oasa: And http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/intro-linux.html.tar.gz - same in HTML form, archived.
[14:16] <trijntje> !suspend
[14:16] <grawity> Oasa: (also, ls -a, or ls -la, to also list hidden files)
[14:17] <eon01> lstarnes, the ubuntu CD ?
[14:17] <ovnandan> Is there any sound line in/line out jack selection side available in Ubuntu?
[14:17] <mazda01> whats the best software to use to take some .mov files, throw in some cool transitions and make a dvd video for the inlaws? i have a bunch of .mov clips of my step-daughter taken with cycorder on the iphone and want to make a dvd of them
[14:17] <chilli0> Merry xmas =]
[14:17] <Oasa> i recently downloaded Chromium OS and compiled by following the instruction though i did not understand anything.
[14:17] <DSLbug> plog command says PAP authenthication failed
[14:17] <Oasa> i just followed
[14:17] <Oasa> i remember using tar -zxf why is that?
[14:18] <om26er> !ot | Oasa
[14:18] <lstarnes> eon01: the alternate install cd for ubuntu
[14:18] <e01> how can i make bootable and installable usb flash drive with iso
[14:18] <ovnandan> ﻿Is there any sound line in/line out jack selection side available in Ubuntu? My sound are doing malfunctioning!
[14:18] <e01> under windows with ubuntu netbook remix 9.10
[14:18] <eon01> lstarnes,  yes the cd from shipit.ubuntu.com
[14:18] <ovnandan> new to Ubuntu...lots of poblem :(
[14:18] <lstarnes> eon01: that's not alternate as far as I am aware
[14:18] <Oasa> ubotty what did i discuss that is off ubuntu ???? let me see if ur AI is that intelligent
[14:18] <grawity> Oasa: In the Unix world, the most common archive format is .tar.gz -- 'tar' is used for packing files into one, and 'gzip' for compressing it. (Different from ZIP, for example, which would compress files before packing.)
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> Oasa:  you may want to go read up on some linux basics.. and learn what youa re doing.. not juist following guides..
[14:19] <ovnandan> ﻿Is there any sound line in/line out jack selection side available in Ubuntu?
[14:19] <lstarnes> ovnandan: the sound mixer should have a line in selection
[14:19] <ovnandan> ok/
[14:19] <Justcameron> Slart: thanks for trying. apparently someone else has had the problem before and nobody knew. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1153754
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> os chromiumos is not ubuntu.. and the tar command is  documented in 'man tar'
[14:19] <Oasa> exactly Dr_WIllis I want to learn just dont want to simply follow what someone says.
[14:19] <grawity> Oasa: Since they're used together so often, 'tar's -z option automatically un-gzips the file during unpacking. -x means 'extract', and -f specifies file to read.
[14:19] <eon01> lstarnes,  I command the original cd from shipit ubuntu , and I want to make an upgrade from this cd
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> Oasa:  You will learn more by reading guides and docs.. instead of asking  pot-luck questions on irc
[14:20] <grawity> Oasa: And as Dr_Willis just suggested, read a few manual pages ('man')
[14:20] <lstarnes> eon01: you can't upgrade from that cd if it isn't the alternate cd
[14:20] <Oasa> yeah i know man.
[14:20] <Chamunks> Dr_Willis, thanks for the help
[14:20] <Oasa> okay i have another problem
[14:20] <Oasa> i believe the tracker is Search Engine or is there any other search ?
[14:21] <Oasa> the tracker doesnt show any file.
[14:21] <Slart> Justcameron: hmm.. seems like it is.. you could report a bug at launchpad.. if there isn't already one
[14:21] <eon01> lstarnes,  ah ok I see , gow can I know if it's an alternate cd
[14:21] <lstarnes> eon01: when you boot it, does it display a full desktop?
[14:22] <Mneme> I guess my best option is to add acpi_enforce_resources=lax to my GRUB config file and pray... *sigh*
[14:22] <Oasa> please answer me
[14:22] <cdavis> has anyone tried to play "The Hangover" DVD on Karmic? I get a bunch of errors and it won't play
[14:22] <apparle> I cannot see the sleep option plz help
[14:22] <grawity> Oasa: It's IRC. If nobody answers, it just means nobody knows the answer.
[14:22] <nod32> Dr_Willis; good job
[14:23] <Slart> Justcameron: I wonder if this might be it.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager-core/+bug/151169
[14:23] <eirikb> Any good suggestion to install Ubuntu 9.10? I have 9.10 installed now but want to reinstall. I can't install by CD drive (it's broken) or USB (BIOS does not support it). So I have installed now by netboot (PXE) but that was so and so. I tried installing from linux once long ago but it read from the disk and could then not write to it...
[14:23] <Oasa> so you dont know whats wrong with Tracker
[14:23] <Oasa> i tried reindexing
[14:23] <Oasa> many times

[14:25] <Dr_Willis> Yep.. wife is going berzerk.. all this trivial stuff she just 'has' to do....
[14:25] <Oasa> grawity: you dont know

[14:26] <chaupham1990> Hi i have a problem! i can't install driver wireless
[14:27] <om26er> chaupham1990, broadcom?
[14:27] <chaupham1990> yes
[14:27] <Oasa> grawity : when i installed some video conversion package it installed a software called Kommander Editor in which i see that you can associate mouse gestures and shortcuts.. but then i understood that it works only in the other desktop K-Something , and i a m using gnome... any alternative software ?
[14:27] <Oasa> please help me out
[14:27] <om26er> chaupham1990, enable properietry driver instead of open-source
[14:28]  * om26er thinks broadcom's open-source driver is useless
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> Oasa:  why do you need mouse gestures?  you should proberly stick to gnome apps. Or did i missread your question.
[14:28] <chaupham1990> i donlt know how to do this
[14:28] <grawity> Oasa: KDE apps are better integrated to the KDE desktop -- but they should work just fine in GNOME too.
[14:28] <chaupham1990> i don't know how to do this
[14:28] <chaupham1990> can you shoe me
[14:28] <grawity> Oasa: Well, maybe not Kommander Editor...
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> Oasa:  i use kde apps in gnome all the time. K3b and so on..  No idea what kommander editor does however
[14:29] <om26er> chaupham1990, go to hardware drivers in adminstrator--> hardware drivers
[14:29] <Oasa> i dont know

[14:42] <Enzo_01> and don`t know why, and want to know if someone from the channel here is do that
[14:42] <gandhi_> Hi i want dota with ubuntu 9.10 ?
[14:42] <bigdavjoker> Slart, yes pretty confident it is okay I can browse the files from ubuntu and the driving was still working when I copied, ubuntu reported it had many errors so I transfered stuff before it actually quit working
[14:42] <Enzo_01> om26er, how you make a bootable flashdrive
[14:43] <om26er> Enzo_01, i use unetbootin
[14:43] <Enzo_01> i try with UNetbooting, but it wont make
[14:43] <om26er> Enzo_01, what is the error you get
[14:43] <soreau> marcel__: Well typically that means the driver you are using is not the right one or not installed correctly.. how did you install the nvidia driver?
[14:43] <Ahemta> you can do it with usb startup creator
[14:43] <blackxored> how can I make a DVD with both movie encoding and audio tracks in 9.10?
[14:43] <bigdavjoker> Slart, I've  tried several variations and about anything I can find on google right now I have the vista partition as the first primary partition
[14:43] <Neroon> LjL: it doesnt even get to trying to upgrade: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1e5026d5
[14:44] <Slart> bigdavjoker: usually when grub messes up you get errors when you try booting windows.. stuff like "bla bla there is no operating system here" or similar
[14:44] <Enzo_01> om26er, are you formating your flashdrive before start or not
[14:44] <brianherman> is the broadcom chipset supported by the linux kernel?
[14:44] <dichtbijzee_snow> how do i change the cpu governor on the cli?
[14:44] <om26er> Enzo_01, format for sure but also works without formating
[14:44] <bigdavjoker> Slart, that is what is the most frustrating I can't seem to find any actual errors it either reboots as sooon as I choose vista or goes to a blank screen with blinking cursor
[14:45] <Enzo_01> om26er, i formtat it too, and when plugin into the mini, it show me messages, operation system not found
[14:45] <om26er> Enzo_01, whuch OS you have at the moment?
[14:45] <Slart> bigdavjoker: you could try booting from the windows install cd and try to repair the windows partition.. you would have reinstall grub after that though.. but that can be done from the ubuntu install cd
[14:45] <marcel__> first I installed the file NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run I downloaded over the NVIDIA website. After that had no effect at all I tried over the grafical Hardware Screen system>administration>hardware-driver
[14:46] <blackxored> how can I make a DVD with both movie encoding and audio tracks in 9.10?
[14:46] <Enzo_01> in this computer, winxp
[14:46] <bigdavjoker> Slart actually tried that too
[14:46] <Enzo_01> i have and slackware but at home, now i am not at home :(
[14:46] <om26er> Enzo_01, which os are you using to make live cd?
[14:46] <Enzo_01> om26er, winxp
[14:46] <marcel__> soreau: first I installed the file NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run I downloaded over the NVIDIA website. After that had no effect at all I tried over the grafical Hardware Screen system>administration>hardware-driver
[14:47] <bigdavjoker> Slart,   sorry keep hitting return   got blinking cursor  when vista installed it's bootloader   aare there tools I might be able to use in ubuntu to check the boot files for vista?  I might just try repairing the boot again  just thought maybe I was missing something
[14:47] <Enzo_01> om26er, before few hours, i was try moblin, burning flashdrive with .img file and it working
[14:47] <Enzo_01> but this iso, may be a problemable, or i duno
[14:47] <om26er> Enzo_01, md5 you iso first
[14:47] <om26er> !md5 | Enzo_01
[14:47] <Enzo_01> just this morning i was buy the mini
[14:47] <Slart> bigdavjoker: I don't really know of any tools that can fix windows boot files.. sorry
[14:48] <soreau> marcel__: Well installing from the nvidia site with the run file probably screwed things up. I would suggest you remove the driver by running the .run installer again with --uninstall then reinstall the driver through the driver utility and make sure to check that in /etc/X11/xorg.conf you have Driver set to nvidia in the Device section
[14:48] <bigdavjoker> Slart, thats alright thanks for trying guess I'll boot the resuce  disc against and see if I can get anywhere  Thanks!
[14:48] <LjL> Neroon: (was on the phone, sorry) try "sudo apt-get -f install"
[14:49] <marcel__> I do understand the first part. How do I do the thing in the xorg.conf?
[14:49] <Neroon> LjL: Did that already yesterday. Didn't help
[14:49] <Zeonisis> Is there a way to speed graph?
[14:49] <Zeonisis> graphics in Ubuntu
[14:50] <dorne> My mouse has become frozen. It happens pretty randomly in Ubuntu Karmic 9.10. How can you prevent this from happening. And how can I make my mouse work without rebooting it?
[14:50] <Zeonisis> not graph LOL
[14:50] <soreau> marcel__: It might be more beneficial if you just pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log so we can see exactly what is wrong
[14:50] <om26er> Zeonisis, using which card?
[14:50] <gandhi_> Warcraft 3 played do with Ubuntu 9.10 ?
[14:50] <LjL> Neroon: what's the output of "apt-cache policy gimp-help-en | grep andid"?
[14:50] <dorne> The mouse light is on
[14:50] <nareshk> Can .NET4 be runned on Ubuntu?
[14:50] <Zeonisis> The Inspiron Mini 10 default ones
[14:50] <Enzo_01> om26er, thanks, it run it now
[14:50] <Neroon> LjL: Candidate: 2.4.0-2
[14:51] <LjL> Neroon: that's the correct version afaics. what happens if you try to install it explicitly with "sudo apt-get install gimp-help-en"?
[14:51] <Oasa> !hi
[14:51] <obiwan_> hi, please i wonder , what does the U mean in commands like udev, uname, umask, ... ? i guess it means sth, ... thankx
[14:51] <marcel__> Okay. I ll do the reinstall. Do I need a reboot on Linux for that?
[14:51] <Enzo_01> om26er, i make partitions of flashdrive again, and format and, just i waiting some minutes to pass the 4% .filesystem file that is 644mb sized
[14:51] <soreau> ! who | marcel__
[14:51] <Neroon> LjL: Same output as apt-get -f install:  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 10 not upgraded
[14:52] <Neroon> LjL: Oh and: gimp-help-en is already the newest version
[14:52] <marcel__> soreau: Okay. I ll do the reinstall. Do I need a reboot on Linux for that?
[14:53] <soreau> marcel__: Well I dont know what is wrong without viewing the X log file but generally speaking, yes
[14:53] <LjL> Neroon: what - how weird. what about "apt-cache policy libpam0g"?
[14:53] <travalas> so I'm a bandwidth issue, I've got a server that if I'm using bandwidth heavily I can't connect via ssh. Thoughts?
[14:54] <soreau> travalas: Unplug the server
[14:54] <Neroon> LjL: It sure is. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4036034c
[14:55] <travalas> soreau: that seems a bit drastic, I can log in locally
[14:55] <Neroon> LjL: Want a screenshot of adept-notifier if i would commit the upgrade?
[14:55] <LjL> Neroon: so that's installed, and it's the right version too. i don't understand what apt is actually complaining about, since the packages it claims are not there, are.
[14:55] <LjL> Neroon: if you want, though adept is probably dreaming things up
[14:55] <travalas> i think i need some sort of qos or traffic shaping
[14:55] <Neroon> LjL: I know ...
[14:55] <blackxored> how can I make a DVD with both movie encoding and audio tracks in 9.10?
[14:55] <soreau> travalas: Well you said you have a bandwidth issue and the server is using a lot of bandwidth, so the logical solution would be to unplug it so it uses no bandwidth ;)
[14:56] <LjL> Neroon: i'd try "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" and see if aptitude can resolve the conflicts any better
[14:56] <Neroon> LjL: Hm, I really don't want to upgrade ...
[14:56] <Neroon> LjL: Wouldnt be fun on my old pc here
[14:57] <travalas> soreau: i guess it could be interpreted that way, the larger issue is what change can i make so i can log in via ssh
[14:57] <marcel__> soreau: Okay, I use the webinterface - how can i send you the output?
[14:57] <LjL> Neroon, well, again, don't necessarily hit Y, just see what it would do and paste.
[14:57] <blackxored> anyone?
[14:57] <soreau> marcel__: pastebin.com
[14:57] <DVA5912> Its possible to burn an AVI to a dvd in ubuntu right?
[14:57] <Oasa> blackxored
[14:57] <LjL> Neroon: besides, i assume you know that "dist-upgrade" is just supposed to keep your *Hardy* updated, not upgrade to a newer version...? if it worked, that is
[14:57] <Zeonisis> Guys, is there a good VM for Ubuntu?
[14:57] <soreau> travalas: My point is, that you should make your question as clear and verbose as possible so people can better understand and assist you
[14:57] <blackxored> Oasa, ?
[14:57] <BlueDog> HI.. i upgradd to 9.10 and now i can't connect to a DSL.. some body can help me?
[14:57] <Oasa> blackxored try Fucoco tools
[14:58] <om26er> !virtualbox | Zeonisis
[14:58] <DVA5912> Zeonisis: VMware, virtualbox OSE
[14:58] <blackxored> Oasa, what's that?
[14:58] <om26er> BlueDog, wireless
[14:58] <om26er> ?\
[14:58] <Oasa> Fuoco sorry
[14:58] <Zeonisis>  Is there an open source one?
[14:58] <BlueDog> [om26er]: no.. not wireless
[14:58] <om26er> Zeonisis, to install virtualbox: in terminal type sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[14:59] <LjL> zerd: virtualbox-ose *is* open source
[14:59] <LjL> Zeonisis even
[14:59] <om26er> BlueDog, what machine you using?
[14:59] <blackxored> Oasa, no results from apt-cache
[14:59] <Neroon> LjL: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m69f99298
[14:59] <Oasa> fuocotools.byethost13.com
[14:59] <travalas> soreau: fair enough
[15:00] <BlueDog> om36er, pentium core2quad... 2gb ram
[15:00] <Zeonisis> Thanks
[15:00] <blackxored> Oasa, something in the repos for this????
[15:00] <simplexio> Zeonisis: i rcommend vbox-bin versuion from virtualbox.org if your use is in lisence term
[15:00] <Neroon> LjL: Actually I didn't know that. I only rarely use aptitude in console
[15:00] <Oasa> nope i guess
[15:00] <marcel__> soreau: Ok. I posted the state after the uninstall. Shall I reinstall or do you need to read the post fist?
[15:00] <Oasa> its an individueal projects but sounds kewl
[15:00] <Oasa> i mean i hav it ..
[15:00] <om26er> simplexio, why?
[15:00] <Oasa> its all in one converter
[15:01] <om26er> BlueDog, motherboard plz
[15:01] <LjL> Neroon: uhm, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list - your aptitude looks like it's trying its best with conflicting packages. also, do you have anything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d?
[15:02] <simplexio> om26er: llast time i checked you get  few nice options only in binary version, likefull usb support whichmaybe helpful in homeusage
[15:02] <soreau> marcel__: Alls I asked for is your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. This well show which driver you are currently using as well as any problems there may be with acceleration and other X related things needed to get compiz working. To easily pastebin it, install curl then run the following all as one command: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us
[15:02] <blackxored> Oasa, I have DeVeDe, but I just want to add 2 movies and several mp3 tracks to a DVD
[15:02] <om26er> simplexio, ok
[15:02] <BlueDog> om36er, on 9.04 was all ok.. but after upgrad dont connect, the mb is a Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L
[15:03] <simplexio> om26er: so thats why i recommend binary version to home user, you can update your usb hardware like t was connected to real windows, or thats the reason why i run binar edition
[15:03] <Zeonisis> How can I run things as root?
[15:03] <Zeonisis> I apparently don't have the root password...
[15:04] <Neroon> LjL: aptitude is still waiting for my input to it's solution. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3c462686
[15:04] <lstarnes> !sudo | Zeonisis
[15:04] <LjL> !root > Zeonisis    (Zeonisis, see the private message from ubottu)
[15:04] <Zeonisis> Thanks :)
[15:04] <Neroon> LjL: And the directory exists, yes
[15:04] <LjL> Neroon: uhm, you're using a weird selection of repositories, and from secondary mirrors. i'll change it to a more orthodox sources.list and then we can try again apt-get or aptitude.
[15:05] <LjL> Neroon: what files does the directory contain?
[15:05] <BluesKaj> is aptitude fixed?
[15:05] <Zeonisis> How can I run a Flash app offline?
[15:05] <Neroon> LjL: 2 files in it. medibuntu.list and medibuntu.list.save. Both almost empty, just text
[15:06] <Neroon> LjL: I know about the "weird" repos, but I added them one after another and never cleaned it. My bad
[15:07] <Diverdude> When i type apt-get install skype i get the message that the package is unavailable. How can i solve that issue?
[15:09] <Zeonisis> How can I run a Flash app offline?
[15:09] <two> Diverdude: check your software sources
[15:09] <lstarnes> BluesKaj: it was broken?
[15:09] <LjL> Neroon: it's not just a matter of weird repos, the standard ones are also not official mirrors, and you miss the correct security sources, which is likely the problem. use http://paste.ubuntu.com/345960/ as your new sources.list
[15:09] <lstarnes> !skype | Diverdude
[15:09] <blackxored> Diverdude, I don't think skype is in the repos, you might have to add a custom entry to your sources.list
[15:09] <Slart> Zeonisis: save it, then open the swf file directly from your local computer
[15:09] <LjL> Neroon: then issue "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install" and see if it fares any better
[15:10] <Slart> !skype
[15:10] <Neroon> LjL: I'll give it a try. Might take a while. Thanks a lot, really
[15:10] <Zeonisis> I tried that, I didn't have the plugins- can I run it with FireFox?
[15:10] <Slart> !info skype
[15:10] <quidnunc> !skype | Slart
[15:10] <BluesKaj> lstarnes, yes it was for 2 days, look like it's fixed now ...use it regularly , but it was spitting out gobbledy-gook after the the safe-upgrade command
[15:11] <quidnunc> How do I see what program has a given tcp port open?
[15:11] <quidnunc> netstat --program doesn't list the port in question
[15:12] <lstarnes> quidnunc: netstat -alp
[15:12] <marcel__> soreau: Okay, I am done with the cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us But I got to go - can I contact you maybe over icq or such later?
[15:13] <marcel__> soreau: result of command was sprunge.us/DHFe
[15:13] <soreau> marcel__: irc. you can ask in #compiz here on this network, irc.freenode.net
[15:13] <airtonix> quidnunc, watch -d "netstat -ntauple" would provide you with more sane output
[15:14] <marcel__> okay. THank you!
[15:14] <quidnunc> lstarnes, airtonix: Thanks
[15:14] <marcel__> soreau: Ok. Thank you. Lots.
[15:14] <airtonix> quidnunc, intended to be run as a long term monitoring output

[15:14] <blackxored> no solution, anyone knows how can I create a DVD which holds both video and audio???/
[15:15] <Tristen55> I know this room is for ubuntu but somehow Ive been banned fron the debian room
[15:16] <grawity> Tristen55: #debian bans all webirc users.
[15:16] <Tristen55> I dont know how that happened
[15:16] <lstarnes> Tristen55: they ban webchat users.  Try connecting with an actual irc client program
[15:16] <Tristen55> ah ok thanks    that makes sence now!
[15:17] <Tristen55> ok will do    I just think the web interface  is really handy
[15:17] <chaupham1990> i can't active STA wireless driver
[15:17] <utrrrongeeb> Tristen55: If you use Firefox, the Chatzilla extension will let you use IRC without leaving the browser.
[15:18] <chaupham1990> this eror install archives failed
[15:18] <DVA5912> in Virtual box OSE, is there anyway possible to have one of my desktops turned into the virtual machine?
[15:18] <Tristen55> yeah Im using firefox
[15:18] <Tristen55> do I still need a seperate irc program to use with the chatzilla plugin?
[15:19] <lstarnes> Tristen55: no
[15:19] <plustax> Hey guys Im running into some issues. Over the last couple days I have been doing a lot of different things to get VNC working, but I haven't been able to. I have noticed that as I make changes...my laptop here gets worse and worse at handling tasks.
[15:19] <lstarnes> Tristen55: that doesn't use a proxied connection so it should work
[15:19] <plustax> My cpu memory just went to 100 percent to run firefox and my computer is significantly slower than before.
[15:19] <chaupham1990> i can't active STA wireless driver

[15:22] <DVA5912> im in heaven now! finaly!!!! ubuntu and windows on the same machine seamleyly intergrated! :D
[15:22] <BluesKaj> plustax, yeah i had the same problem with VNC it slows everything down to a crawl ...gave up on it and stsrted using ssh instead , it's a bit more work but it does work well enuff .
[15:22] <plustax> BluesKaj  aye im realizing that too.
[15:23] <LjL> Neroon: yes, i've commented out most of the custom repositories. you should re-add them one by one, doing "apt-get update" after each, to make sure none of them cause problem
[15:23] <plustax> BluesKaj do you think you can help me track down what exactly it is I did to slow my computer down so much?
[15:23] <jesse2> hello. I run ubuntu alongside kubuntu.  after installing KDE, the ubuntu logo upon boot-up changed to a "kubuntu" logo.  Does anyone know how to change it back?
[15:23] <Neroon> LjL: K, I'll do that later. Thanks a lot for your time and help
[15:24] <BluesKaj> plustax, personally I think it's broken
[15:25] <plustax> BluesKaj my computer is broken?
[15:25] <maco> jesse2: uninstall kubuntu-artwork-usplash

[15:29] <gantrixx> Why does Fedora include Thunderbird 3.0, yet Ubuntu is still on 2.0?
[15:29] <BlouBlou> gantrixx: Ask to canonical :)
[15:29] <plustax> what is the command to start compiz fusion in terminal?
[15:29] <plustax> I just accidentally ended the process
[15:30] <soreau> plustax: compiz
[15:30] <gantrixx> I thought there might be some canonical guys in here
[15:30] <DVA5912> is there anyway i can hide the bottom panel only in a certain workspace?
[15:30] <BluesKaj> gantrixx, ask #fedora
[15:30] <BlouBlou> gantrixx: When was Thunderbird 3 released?
[15:30] <gantrixx> BluesKaj, why would Fedora know about Ubuntu?
[15:31] <crash82> merry xmas
[15:31] <BluesKaj> gantrixx, they know about T-bird3
[15:31] <gantrixx> I'm not sure it was officially released, but Fedora is supporting it as if it were
[15:31] <grawity> gantrixx: Ubuntu tends to stay with "stable" software.
[15:31] <grawity> BluesKaj: December 8th.
[15:31] <grawity> er.
[15:31] <plustax> no wonder
[15:31] <grawity> BlouBlou: December 8th.
[15:31] <BluesKaj> bully for fedora :)
[15:31] <duffydack> is there is a wine 64bit?  its installing ia32 libs when installing wine.?
[15:31] <gantrixx> Suse seems to offer Thunderbird 3.0 also
[15:31] <plustax> I had two instances of compiz running
[15:32] <Diverdude> hmm did anybody in here have success on using skype on ubuntu?
[15:32] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, I do
[15:32] <OerHeks> Diverdude yes
[15:32] <gantrixx> So does Mandriva
[15:32] <maco> Diverdude: mostly... my webcam turns out not to work, but otherwise, yes
[15:32] <gantrixx> all major distros except Ubuntu really
[15:32] <grawity> gantrixx: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa and http://ubuntuzilla.sf.net/
[15:33] <BlouBlou> gantrixx: As grawity says, it was released december 8th. Ubuntu 9.10 was released in october. In ubuntu normall updates software is not updated, only patched, surelly Thunderbird 3 will come with ubuntu 10.04
[15:33] <Diverdude> When i try to call another skype account, it starts ringing, and then it says "Problem with audio capture"
[15:33] <Diverdude> Could that be problems with the microphone?
[15:33] <mobi-sheep> gantrixx: Ubuntu's policy is to shift the focus on security and bug fixes after releases.
[15:33] <anteaya> I usually use wireless for my internet connect but want to ensure my wired ethernet connection works as well. Upon plugging in the active ethernet cable when I hover over the connection icon, I can read "requesting a network address from the wired network" then no connection occurs. Not sure where to look for error log.
[15:33] <grawity> gantrixx: The 'stable vs latest' thing was inherited from Debian, anyway
[15:34] <Diverdude> maco, Any ideas on that?
[15:34] <gantrixx> According to distrowatch TB3 isn't going to be included in Lucid
[15:34] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, yes... could simply be your mic configuration...
[15:34] <chiossif> Hi to all and Merry Christmas
[15:34] <BluesKaj> Diverdude, some success but not total , it won't pickup the mic sounds for some reson , as soon as skype turns on , the mic turns off , prolly cuz i don't have pulseaudio install , altho i'm using the recommended static skype version.
[15:34] <maco> Diverdude: possibly a sound driver bug. can you use the mic otherwise?
[15:34] <Diverdude> Kr0ntab, how could i test my microphone?
[15:34] <chiossif> ubuntu + NVIDIA's 3d Stereo Vision = Any Experience?
[15:35] <Diverdude> maco, i didnt actually ever use the mic since i installed ubuntu
[15:35] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, if you have skype open... go to the options.... the the Sound Devices menu on the left
[15:35] <maco> Diverdude: try gnome-sound-recorder in the audio/video part of the menu
[15:37] <luckyone> does anyone know how to setup a public git repository?
[15:37] <Diverdude> hmm if i try to use the Applications->Sound & Video->Sound recorder it seems that nothing is recorded
[15:37] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, You'll have three primary options... Microphone, Speakers, Ringing... the default of pulse server local should work... but you can test each option by calling the Echo / Sound Test Service.
[15:37] <Diverdude> So i guess i can then conclude that the mic somehow is not working
[15:37] <krishmish_>  how can a user be able to change his browsing password in squid  by himself in the user authentication?
[15:38] <Diverdude> Kr0ntab, yes....i am pretty sure the mic is not working...How can i get that to work
[15:38] <anteaya> luckyone: never done it before but the instructions on github are very straightforward
[15:38] <chiossif> ubuntu + NVIDIA's 3d Stereo Vision = Any Experience?
[15:39] <plustax> diverdude your mic isnt working?
[15:39] <BlouBlou> !repeat | chiossif
[15:39] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, yer running 9.10 right?
[15:39] <krishmish_>  how can a user be able to change his browsing password in squid  by himself in the user authentication?
[15:39] <Diverdude> plustax, yeah....mic aint working
[15:39] <Diverdude> Kr0ntab, yeah running 9.10
[15:40] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, right click on speaker / volume icon in task bar and go to Sound Preferences...
[15:40] <luckyone> anteaya: yes, they are - however, one of the commands to setup the public repository isn't working
[15:40] <krishmish>  /ns identify irc
[15:40] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, the two main tabs you should play with are hardware and input...
[15:41] <anteaya> luckyone jump into #github and schacon might be able to assist you
[15:41] <plustax> yes be sure input is unmuted and there is a test gauge there.
[15:41] <Diverdude> Kr0ntab, hmm in the sound recorder i played a bit round...it seems there is a MC1 and a MC2 and a docing input. If I choose MP2 it seems to work....
[15:41] <krishmish> can someone help me with user authentication in squid?
[15:42] <krishmish> working on ubuntu
[15:42] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, under input you may have multiple devices detected...  right.. so you need to tell each application which mic to use.
[15:42] <two> does anyone know if there is a program that can take an existing ubuntu installation and burn it to disk somehow and install it just the same on another computer?
[15:42] <krishmish> two: try aptoncd
[15:43] <Diverdude> Kr0ntab, is there a input in skype?
[15:43] <enzotib> two: bootcd-backup
[15:43] <Diverdude> Kr0ntab, a input menu i mean
[15:43] <krishmish> two: or u can try cloning the hard drive
[15:43] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, yes... in the options... under sound devices... there's a Microsophone drop down enu
[15:43] <krishmish> two: using helix
[15:44] <Kr0ntab> menu
[15:44] <Diverdude> Kr0ntab, in Sound Devices menu I only have Sound out and Sound in...Sound out is the MC?
[15:44] <krishmish> can someone help me with user authentication in squid on ubuntu??
[15:44] <bb1> Hi, can anyone help me with pulseaudio and surround sound? when i select the 5.1 profile i always get no sound?
[15:44] <JonathanEllis> two: You might be able to simply copy the partitions in gparted to an external hard drive and the regenerate them on the target machine. Of course you would need to setup grub afterwards but thats pretty easy. I dont know if the different hardware on the target machine would screw things up.
[15:45] <jesse2> Having a minor but weird problem with my mouse pointer.  I cant get it to change.  When i go to "System-> Preferences -> Apperance" and select the theme, customize, and select a new pointer, nothing happens
[15:46] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, sound in ins the mic
[15:46] <Kr0ntab> ins = is
[15:47] <Diverdude> Kr0ntab, hmmm ok...at least it does not say problem with sound capture anymore....But when i make the testcall and speak in the MC, and the sound is replayed...nothing has been recorded
[15:47]  * kevin147 is back (gone 00:18:14)
[15:47] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, it's probably muted...
[15:47] <Slart> bb1: where do you select 5.1 profile?
[15:47] <Nicekiwi9> hey, heaps of my open apps in 9.10 ubuntu keep crashing, no msgages or warning, they just disappare, help?
[15:47] <grawity> kevin147: Could you please turn that away-message thing off?
[15:47] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, go to the sound preferences
[15:47] <Diverdude> Kr0ntab, ohh right...that might be....how do i unmute?
[15:48] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, not in skype... but for your sound card
[15:48] <Kr0ntab> system-->preferences--Sound
[15:48] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, Under the tab "input"
[15:49] <Nicekiwi9> and the system keeps crashing horrificly and locking up
[15:49] <JonathanEllis> I was just trying to setup fax software following these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupAndFax#Fax%20software but setting up sl-modem-daemon runs into problems when it tries to configure the kernel. Now I dont know if the kernel will be borked when I try to reboot. I have googled this term "sl-modem-daemon FATAL: Module ungrab_winmodem not found" and it all looks rather scary. My terminal session is at http://pastebin.com/d67c4
[15:49] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, 1) you must select a device.. try the one thats selected now... if it's muted... there will be a check box on mute next to the volume control
[15:50] <freaky[t]_> how do i scroll to the bottom in vim?
[15:50] <LjL> JonathanEllis: the pastebin URL got cut
[15:50] <cdavis> Anyone know of a good contact management software where I can scan business cards into it?
[15:51] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, 2) you may have to play with the device selection as well.  You can also leave the volume slide all the way down because I beleive that's "playback" volume... meaning as you speak... the sound will also come out your speakers... not what you want.
[15:51] <trism> freaky[t]_: type 0 then capital G
[15:51] <freaky[t]_> trism thank you
[15:51] <JonathanEllis> LjL: The pastebin url is http://pastebin.com/d67c40cd6
[15:51] <bb1>  Slart: under audiosettings
[15:52] <bb1> Slart: the hardware tab
[15:53] <Diverdude> Kr0ntab, ok...i have figured out that when I start a skype call it automatically turns the input volume down to almost nothing....so the sound is there be extremely low
[15:53] <Slart> bb1: audio settings? ah.. preferences, sound.. I don't think all soundcards even have that profile..
[15:53] <Diverdude> Kr0ntab, somehow i need skype to use the settings i put in the microphone, and not automatically adjust it
[15:54] <bb1> Slart: I have the profile, but there is only crackling sound ... (5.1 sound always worked with alsa only)
[15:54] <Slart> bb1: are you trying to play 5.1 audio after you've selected that profile? I'm not sure if ubuntu will convert stereo to 5.1 automatically
[15:54] <bb1> Slart: yes
[15:54] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, there's an option at the bottom of the sound prefs in skype that does exactly that... but remember, the volume slide is for speaker output...
[15:54] <Slart> bb1: it might be a driver problem too.. or a pulseaudio issue
[15:55] <LjL> JonathanEllis: what's the output of "cat /boot/grub/default"?
[15:55] <JonathanEllis> LjL: Here it is http://pastebin.com/f6bf8f242
[15:56] <LjL> JonathanEllis: type "sudo grub-set-default 0", then type "sudo apt-get -f install"
[15:57] <LjL> JonathanEllis: your problem was likely caused by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/193439
[15:58] <glock7> hi. ubuntu 9.10 server, samba doesn't start automatically,  i need to run, sudo /etc/init.d/samba start after a reboot, already tried sudo update-rc.d samba defaults. any suggestions
[15:58] <chiossif> ubuntu + NVIDIA's 3d Stereo Vision = Any Experience?
[15:58] <apr> I tried installing  the fglrx xorg driver with synaptic and it did not go well. Is there an Ubuntu how-to available or at least a really good forum thread that anyone is aware of?
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> glock7:  you should be using 'sudo service samba start' see if theres a config file for samba in /etc/init/samba.cfg (i think thats the right name)
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> glock7:  9.10 uses Upstaert. the update-rc.d stuff dosent work with upstart
[15:59] <calwig> Have a good safe holiday all
[15:59] <JonathanEllis> LjL: Which menu.lst should I choose? Here are the choices http://pastebin.com/d566642ba
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. samba may still be getting handled bi the init.d stuff.. let me check
[16:00] <chiossif> calwig: Thanks 2U2. Merry Christmas.
[16:00] <glock7> Dr_Willis: no conf for samba in /etc/init/
[16:00] <Dr_Willis> glock7:  you have a /etc/rc2.d/S20samba ? it seems samba hasent made the move to Upstart yet.
[16:00] <Ziber> I have radvd installed, but I dont want it to start on boot. How can I achieve this?
[16:00] <mazda01> i want to make a dvd from .mov files from iphone. i am trying avidemux but I don't see a setting for making it a certain height and then adding in black bars otherwise the quality ends up degrading so much. any thoughts?
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> $ ls -l S20samba
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2009-10-10 14:42 S20samba -> ../init.d/samba
[16:01] <glock7> Dr_Willis: correct
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> !info radvd
[16:01] <Ziber> How can I set it so it doesnt start on boot?
[16:01] <Dr_Willis> glock7:  thats odd that its not starting. It COULD be somthing else is not starting fast enough so samba fails. You could change that S20 to like.. S90
[16:02] <plustax> mazda01 use pitivi
[16:02] <Dr_Willis> glock7:  i see apache is on S91, so  You may want to try S92samba for its name.
[16:02] <glock7> gotcha
[16:02] <calwig> Is 9.10 LTS?
[16:03] <Dr_Willis> Ziber:  either disable it in /etc/init if its ran by upstart. or in /etc/rc2.d if its handled by the sysv system
[16:03] <apr> Are the "ati" and "radeon" xorg drivers both non-proprietary drivers? fglrx?
[16:03] <JuJuBee> Hello. I am having trouble with my gateway (linux box). 2 Nic's 1)192.168.15.1 (outside) 2)192.168.6.1(inside) The inside nic is handing out dhcp. My wireless router is on the 192.168.6.0 net and my laptop is getting an appropriate IP address from my gateway. But, I cannot ping the gateway?
[16:03] <Dr_Willis> apr:  i think ati and radeon have gotten merged. they are both the non-properiotauy drivers
[16:03] <mazda01> plustax, will try. thanks
[16:03] <plustax> np
[16:03] <LiteralKa> I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10, and my system crashed.
[16:03] <erUSUL> apr: both are free yes. fglrx is the AMD/ATI closed driver. there is also the radeon-hd free driver
[16:03] <hadi57> helo, i just moved to linux, any application to use for my samsung s5 mobile, any help appreciated
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> !lts | calwig
[16:04] <plustax> hadi57 application for what?
[16:04] <hadi57> i want to use phone book

[16:05] <calwig> Dr_Willis, thanks, in fact I knew that but somehow didnt think of it
[16:05] <hadi57> yes plustax?
[16:06] <plustax> http://jamsubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-to-get-samsung-yp-s5-working-with.html
[16:06] <plustax> see if that helps you any

[16:06] <hadi57> thanks for the help ill see it
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> oops miss pasted. :)
[16:06] <Rasmussen> tot
[16:06] <Diverdude> Kr0ntab, hey, are you still there?
[16:06] <LiteralKa> umm, ubuntu-desktop broke when I moved from 9.04 to 9.10, what do I do?
[16:06] <LiteralKa> I can't even boot correctly
[16:06] <plustax> LiteralKa you go into GRUB while booting?
[16:07] <plustax> or black screen
[16:07] <LiteralKa> grub
[16:07] <Kr0ntab> Diverdude, yeah sorta... any progress
[16:07] <DVA5912> i think im about stupid. im running counter strike in a virtual machine
[16:07] <LiteralKa> but then it stops halfway through
[16:07] <LiteralKa> and goes to the login screen
[16:07] <plustax> Did you try startx
[16:07] <LiteralKa> and I can't use thhe mouse, keyboard, etc
[16:07] <JuJuBee> Can someone assist me?  I am getting DHCP from gateway but cannot ping the gateway or surf the net
[16:07] <plustax> ...
[16:08] <plustax> can you get a terminal open LiteralKa
[16:08] <LiteralKa> I am using it right now, lol
[16:08] <Diverdude> Kr0ntab, no...its still adjusting automatically
[16:08] <glock7> Dr_Willis: no dice
[16:08] <plustax> did you try updating and upgrading
[16:08] <LiteralKa> plustax: yes
[16:08] <plustax> to ensure the proper drivers were installed?
[16:08] <plustax> Okay.
[16:08] <plustax> Hmm.
[16:08] <mazda01> plustax, looks promising but first I have to rotate some of them. can pitivi do that?
[16:08] <TangentCollision> is there a seperate channel for UNR?
[16:08] <jorgeroman> I have a dell inspiron 1318 the wifi card seems to have it's drivers but doesn't show up in under the connection applet.
[16:08] <LiteralKa> It says that It can't configure a couple of gnome-themes-* and ubuntu-desktop
[16:09] <plustax> mazda01 as in rotate the viewpoint completely?
[16:09] <mazda01> plustax, obviously i'd like to reencode it the least amount of times so i don't lose all the quality
[16:09] <plustax> well you should only have to encode it once when you're done.
[16:09] <Diverdude> Kr0ntab, Where are those sliders you were mentioning before?
[16:09] <plustax> and it exports into almost any format you need.
[16:09] <mazda01> plustax, i know avidemix has a rotate filter but I don't see anyway to save it as a mov, i'd have to encode it with mpeg4 or whatnot
[16:09] <plustax> as far as the video rotation, Im not sure. I havent used that.
[16:09] <TangentCollision> is there a seperate channel for UNR?
[16:09] <mazda01> plustax, yes, the video is sideways, i need to rotate it 90 degrees
[16:10] <Kr0ntab> system-->preferences--Sound ... under the input tab
[16:10] <DVA5912> why do i feel ignored
[16:10] <plustax> mazda01 with avidemix you should be able to save it as ogv
[16:10] <plustax> that would skip the actual encoding process technically.
[16:10] <wowow> Hi guys I need help installing WOW: king on my Ubuntu 9.04
[16:10] <TangentCollision> I would like to know how small I can smash ubuntu netbook remix into a 2 gb SD card without any major problems
[16:10] <porKi> I shut down PC properly but when i boot it then I got a error after GRUb that "Unable to mount file system  give root password for maintainance or press CTRL+D", then i enter root password and entered "fsck" then I am able to boot. PLease tell me why this is happening and whats the solution for this ?
[16:10] <mazda01> plustax, using a jailbroken iphone and cycorder, i have to remember not to turn the iphone a certain way and then my video's won't be sideways. HA HA
[16:10] <plustax> haha
[16:10] <TangentCollision> DVA5912: because you are being ignored, so am I
[16:11] <DVA5912> TangentCollision: well, then lets help eachother
[16:11] <DVA5912> TangentCollision: whats your issue
[16:11] <JordiRT> Hi All. I have Ubuntu on a Acer Aspire One SSD, my daughter played with it and now at the login process the display goes crazy and logs out, how can I fix it?
[16:11] <TangentCollision> there needs to be an #ubuntu-support channel and an #ubuntu-offtopic channel to deal with this shit
[16:11] <mazda01> plustax, ogm? under video tab, i  have to save it as something else in order to apply the rotate filter
[16:11] <plustax> mazda01 go ahead and flip the vid any method youknow how. Just be sure to export the file as ogv that way when you stick it in pitivi and encode you wont lose any quality
[16:11] <protojay> porKi, your filesystem is currupt?
[16:11] <plustax> mazda01  yes ogm is fine.
[16:11] <syk_> TangentCollision, there is.
[16:11] <plustax> still an open file
[16:11] <TangentCollision> DVA5912: I'm trying to find a distribution that's grandma friendly like moblin that works with my processor on my eeepc 700
[16:12] <TangentCollision> syk_: where's the support channel?
[16:12] <syk_> TangentCollision, you're in it
[16:12] <porKi> protojay but it is not happening each time when i boot
[16:12] <wowow> Hi guys I need help installing WOW: king on my Ubuntu 9.04
[16:12] <TangentCollision> this is /b/
[16:12] <plustax> TangentCollision
[16:12] <plustax> haha
[16:12] <plustax> this is so far from /b/
[16:12] <protojay> porKi, perhaps your not shutting down cleanly sometimes?
[16:12] <TangentCollision> seriously, this place moves nearly at the speed of /b/
[16:12] <kyentei> TangentCollision, No, no, no, no.
[16:13] <plustax> TangentCollision pm
[16:13] <DVA5912> TangentCollision: well, this is the official support channel for all ussues regarding ubuntu. ubuntu-offtopic is for offtopic.   thats a large order. fine an distro and then customize it. thats all i can say. thats what i did with my little brothers eepc. all he gets is internet , games, and a wordpad three buttons on the desktio
[16:13] <TangentCollision> so, does anyone here know anything about ubuntu netbook remix
[16:13] <porKi> protojay  but i shut down properly and then it happens
[16:13] <plustax> TangentCollision sure, what do you need dude?
[16:13] <protojay> porKi, hmm, interesting
[16:14] <LiteralKa> Okay
[16:14] <LiteralKa> startx works
[16:14] <protojay> porKi, perhaps a hardware fault with your harddisk or more likely your filesystem... what does fsck say when u run it?
[16:14] <LiteralKa> but it doesn't recognize any input
[16:14] <plustax> Glad to help LiteralKa
[16:14] <LiteralKa> no keyboard, mouse
[16:14] <LiteralKa> nothign ;_;
[16:14] <plustax> :/
[16:14] <mazda01> plustax, but i am asking what video codec in avidemux should I use. i see mpeg4 (lavc) mpeg4 (xvid), etc etc
[16:14] <plustax> are they wireless
[16:14] <syk> TangentCollision, whats the problem?
[16:14] <plustax> per chance?
[16:14] <LiteralKa> and it doesn't load the desktop icons (expectedly)
[16:14] <LiteralKa> plustax: nope
[16:14] <TangentCollision> plustax: I need to know how far I can smash UNR so I can fit it on my eeepc 2g surf
[16:14] <LiteralKa> ubuntu-desktop is broken
[16:14] <porKi> protojay , after running fsck it says "...fixed" and then ask to reboot
[16:15] <plustax> mazda01 xvid mpeg4
[16:15] <matteo1990> if i make ls -la i can see that a film i have downloaded has written root  root. I can't open it with vlc... What options i have to use in chmod to change it?
[16:15] <TangentCollision> porKi: that's pretty normal
[16:15] <porKi> Tangent, even after proper shutdown ?
[16:15] <plustax> TangentCollision 2 gigs, eh?
[16:15] <plustax> Wont be able to do it
[16:15] <TangentCollision> plustax: yes
[16:15] <mazda01> plustax, doesn't the xvid compress video down though? sorry if I am second guessing you but I am just trying to learn
[16:15] <TangentCollision> matteo1990: chown
[16:16] <protojay> porKi, im not sure, its pointing towards your filesystem or hard disk
[16:16] <plustax> mazda01  it does to an extent but it's a lesser evil. My total advice is to simply flip it and save as file.ogv
[16:16] <LiteralKa> So, how can I fix ubuntu-desktop
[16:16] <porKi> how to check filesystem for errors ?
[16:16] <v1tal3> matteo1990: try chmod 755 <filename>   or try chown <your username>:<your username group> <filename>
[16:16] <protojay> porKi, perhaps your filesystem is bad, or your hard disk is broken
[16:16] <plustax> If anyone else here would like to help LiteralKa im fresh out of ideas.
[16:17] <v1tal3> matteo1990: you will probably have to add "sudo" to the beginning of those commands, fyi
[16:17] <mazda01> plustax, what should I chose for average bitrate? this will be going on a dvd and there will be plenty of room. i would simply flip it but I said, in order to apply rotate filter in avidemux, you have to chose a codec to encode it with first, then chose file extension .omg
[16:17] <TangentCollision> LiteralKa: WHAT is the problem
[16:17] <LiteralKa> TangentCollision: ubuntu-desktop is broken
[16:17] <TangentCollision> LiteralKa: you are a bloody contradiction
[16:17] <A-Rishi> Is there any performance difference if the /home is on a different partitioned compared to the whole hierarchy being on the same partition?
[16:17] <TangentCollision> LiteralKa: what is wrong with it?
[16:17] <oorah> how do i play a dvd in banshee?
[16:17] <wowow> Hi guys I need help installing WOW: king on my Ubuntu 9.04

[16:18] <porKi> how to check file system for errors ?
[16:18] <mazda01> plustax, huh?

[16:19] <plustax> mazda01 for the best quality, encode with mpeg4 divx codec and save at the highest bit-rate possible.
[16:20] <plustax> ESPECIALLY if its going on a dvd
[16:20] <hadi57> the link i got didnt hlep for my I8910 HD Samsung mobile to sync my data, i hate to go back to windows
[16:20] <v1tal3> IGITIHI: don't ask to ask, just ask
[16:20] <ksbalaji> pprroobblleemm  --  oonnccee  ttyyppeedd  ttwwoo  lleetttteerrss..
[16:20] <mazda01> plustax, yeah, see here please: http://img695.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotodv.png
[16:20] <IGITIHI> my system is dual boot XP/ubuntu 8.10. If I upgrade to 910, will I have problems with boot manager?
[16:20] <ManDay> Does anyone use MiKTeX and can tell me how minimalistic it can be made?
[16:20] <ManDay> erm
[16:21] <ManDay> Did I say MikTex?
[16:21] <ManDay> I mean Texlive
[16:21] <syk> IGITIHI, no
[16:21] <plustax> mazda01 yeah 1500-1700 is all a good range.
[16:21] <plustax> mazda01  I would stick it somewhere in the middle.
[16:21] <major_redhat> hey does anyone know how to let ubuntu autoupdate?
[16:22] <TangentCollision> plustax: O
[16:22] <IGITIHI> What if I delete the linux partition and install 9.10 from scratch? Will it over-write the boot sectro and cause problems?
[16:22] <TangentCollision> I'm going to stay awaay from that last comment
[16:22] <mazda01> panyone use cairo-dock, i had a sub-window open of avidemux, then i went to another window and when I came back, the sub-window was gone and now avidemux is frozen. not sure where sub-window went?
[16:22] <syk> IGITIHI, no, i would recommend a clean install either way
[16:22] <TangentCollision> IGITIHI: I would suggest not deleting the partition, just reformatting it
[16:22] <ksbalaji> mmyy  kkeeyybbooaarrdd  --  wweeiirrdd!!
[16:23] <kurthy> Hi all
[16:23] <plustax> mazda still frozen and visible on the screen?
[16:23] <IGITIHI> TangentCollision, how shoul I do that?
[16:23] <braintorch> hello. Can anybody help me? I'm trying to make htb.init start on pppoe connect. I put "post-up /etc/init.d/htb start" line in /etc/network/interfaces but getting "**HTB: no configured devices found!" error. :(
[16:23] <plustax> mazda01
[16:23] <plustax> still frozen and visible on he screen?
[16:23] <kurthy> I wish you Merry Christmas from Slovakia
[16:23] <JonathanEllis> LjL: I did as you said and here is the result http://pastebin.com/d592ee5ba. Does it look ok to you? Do I dare reboot my system to try it out?
[16:24] <xpo0f> hi people
[16:24] <TangentCollision> IGITIHI: are you familiar with the use of parted?
[16:24] <BluesKaj> well now . I managed to get my mic working with skype albeit at a lower audio level than I'd like but at least it's workable ..the mic in amd boost mixer capture options have to enabled and cranked to the top
[16:24] <xpo0f> how are u today :)
[16:24] <mazda01> plustax, yes
[16:24] <LjL> JonathanEllis: it looks fine to me. i would reboot, but the decision is yours. do you have a live cd on your hand, that you could come back on irc with in case of problems?
[16:24] <A-Rishi> Is there any performance difference if the /home is on a different partitioned compared to the whole hierarchy being on the same partition?
[16:24] <xpo0f> marry christmas for all christian
[16:24] <plustax> mazda01 right click your task bar at the top and click add to panel
[16:24] <IGITIHI> TangentCollision, not really
[16:24] <ksbalaji> DDoo  II  eexxppllaaiinn  mmyy  pprroobblleemm  cclleeaarrllyy??
[16:24] <TangentCollision> IGITIHI: try gparted
[16:24] <mathk> does anyone know if there is a way to being authenticate throw an usb key?
[16:24] <plustax> mazda01 then add the force quit application
[16:25] <TangentCollision> ksbalaji: no, you don't
[16:25] <plustax> then click the app then click the program thats frozen
[16:25] <IGITIHI> TangentCollision: u sure it wont mess up my dual boot?
[16:25] <plustax> fix'd
[16:25] <JonathanEllis> LjL: Yes I have a livecd and another computer. I will email myself the pastebin links just in case.
[16:25] <mazda01> plustax, i'll add the force quit application to my cairo-dock or I can always just pgrep the process and then sudo kill PID.
[16:25] <TangentCollision> IGITIHI: as long as you don't touch it and you re-install ubuntu and GRUB, you're dandy
[16:25] <plustax> yes indeed. I just like force quit because its so easy :)
[16:25] <zeitlos> heyo anyone know a nice program to run webcams with windows live messenger
[16:25] <plustax> mazda01 work smarter not harder :)
[16:26] <zeitlos> studio 9.10
[16:26] <TangentCollision> BBS, I will read, but I have to plug in a drive over my keyboard
[16:26] <JordiRT> Hi All. I have Ubuntu on a Acer Aspire One SSD, my daughter played with it and now at the login process the display goes crazy and logs out, how can I fix it?
II  ccaanntt  ttyyppee  aa  ssiinnggllee  lleetttteerr  wwiitthh  kkeeyy  bbooaarrdd!!
[16:26] <TangentCollision> ksbalaji: I getthat
[16:26] <major_redhat> ksbalaji sounds like your kepboard is stuck
[16:26] <ardian> Does ubuntu has a firewall ?
[16:27] <syk> arianit, yes
[16:27] <syk> !ufw
[16:27] <mazda01> plustax, well, i am trying to go away from panels and use cairo-dock. how do I find out what command is run when clicking on the force quit panel launcher. i just added it and then tried to right click to see if it had properties but it doesn't so I don't know how to find out command
[16:27] <TangentCollision> lol
[16:27] <IGITIHI> TangentCollision: So, I should first reformat the linux partition, then install 9.10 and then reinstall GRUB?
[16:27] <JuJuBee> Is anyone here good with networking setup?  I am getting IP (via dhcp) from my gateway (ubuntu 9.04) but I cannot ping my gateway....
[16:27] <ksbalaji> TangentCollision> tthhaannkkss!!<major_redhat> ksbalaji sounds like ....nnoo  II  cchhaannggeedd  mmootthheerrbbooaarrdd!!
[16:27] <plustax> honestly im pretty sure its killing the pid mazda01
[16:27] <Boo-boo>  ... maybe now someone xperience with oss and 5.1/7.1 ? :D
[16:27] <JordiRT> Is there a way to start in some sort of a safe start that loads basic drivers sin the session
[16:28] <syk> IGITIHI, you shouldnt need to reinstall grub
[16:28] <Boo-boo> & merry xmas
[16:28] <major_redhat> ksbalaji: how does a motherboard change mess up your keyboard?
[16:28] <IGITIHI> syk: even though I use a separate boot partition?
[16:28] <zeitlos> my retard fucks up all day
[16:28] <maco> zeitlos: language!
[16:29] <JonathanEllis> My grub menu.lst seems to refer to the partitions by uuid. My working ubuntu is installed on /dev/sda7. /dev/sda6 has a non-working ubuntu on it that I will now get rid of. Is it safe to delete this partition? I assume the partition with my working os will renumber itself to /dev/sda6 but the uuid wont change so hopefully grub should still be able to boot it.
[16:29] <TangentCollision> IGITIHI: just follow normal proceedure on install after formatting JUST the ubuntu partition
[16:29] <zeitlos> polish
[16:29] <mazda01> plustax, i know but if I want to add a custom launcher to cairo-dock then I need to know the exact command that clicking on the force quit icon does. get it?
[16:29] <plustax> Ooh, gotcha.
[16:29] <plustax> Hmm.
[16:29] <JordiRT> Hi All. I have Ubuntu on a Acer Aspire One SSD, my daughter played with it and now at the login process the display goes crazy and logs out, where can I start looking?
[16:29] <TangentCollision> god, I had to click out every single letter there
[16:29] <IGITIHI> TangentCollision: Thanks a lot pal!
[16:29] <IGITIHI> syk: ty!
[16:29] <JordiRT> is there a safe start that loads basic configuration?
[16:29] <TangentCollision> IGITIHI: good luck, don't fsck it up
[16:30] <major_redhat> JordiRT: sounds like she did something to the xorg.conf
[16:30] <ksbalaji> <major_redhat  how does a motherboard change mess up--tthhaatt´ss  wwhhyy  II  sseeeekk  yyrr  kkiinndd  hheellpp..  II  ddoonntt  uunnddeerrssttaanndd!!
[16:30] <xpo0f> what is the effect when disable ipv6
[16:30] <JordiRT> major_redhat: how can I fix it?
[16:31] <major_redhat> ksbalaji: why did you swap out the motherboard in the first place?
[16:31] <xpo0f> any idea for improve internet connection in ubuntu ?
[16:31] <syk> JordiRT, how does it go crazy?
[16:31] <major_redhat> JordiRT: i'm not totally sure how to fix it -sorry- but i know that there is probably a line of code or something that she might have commented out or something
[16:31] <plustax> mazda01
[16:32] <major_redhat> xpo0f: define improve
[16:32] <plustax> mazda01 the command is xkill
[16:32] <BluesKaj> hey billybigrigger

[16:32] <xpo0f> major_redhat: meaning ?
[16:32] <JordiRT> syk: at login looks ok but when the user session starts the screen goes garbled, like static and it logs out
[16:32] <billybigrigger> hey BluesKaj how's your holidays so far?
[16:32] <plustax> and also mazda01
[16:32] <xpo0f> im trying to install latest ubuntu with ext4 but no luck
[16:32] <rgnr> hey ppl
[16:32] <natewiebe13> im using ubuntu 9.04 and i am running 2 screens.. after relogging in or rebooting, the panels (that i deleted) reappear in the 2nd screen. how can i permanently delete them?
[16:33] <xpo0f> so im using reiserfs
[16:33] <major_redhat> xpo0f: there really isnt much to improve for an internet connection unless you pay your ISP for a gigabit connection
[16:33] <mazda01> plustax, yes? i have run into this before. i want to know what command is run from a panel icon. i know things run from the gnome menu can be found out by editing main menu and then clicking on properties.
[16:33] <plustax> encoding in mpeg4 mazda01 will not reduce quality. RENDERING IT will
[16:33] <BluesKaj> just fine billybigrigger , how about your s ?
[16:33] <rgnr> dual layer dvds are not recognized!
[16:33] <ksbalaji> ssoorryy  II  mmaakkee  aa  mmeess  hheerree..
[16:33] <xpo0f> major_redhat: thanks for the go0d advise
[16:33] <syk> JordiRT, hmm im not sure
[16:33] <rgnr> regular r ok and dual layer is a problem
[16:33] <mahen23> help my ubuntu netbook is on fire
[16:33] <major_redhat> xpo0f: you can always check the ubuntu forums though
[16:33] <plustax> lol
[16:33] <TangentCollision> xD
[16:34] <mahen23> th battery just pooped
[16:34] <billybigrigger> BluesKaj: oh just peachy, i'm done work until monday, but have today and sunday to do anything on the computer, meanwhile i was smart and tried to hit up lucid, now i'm stuck at a grub rescue prompt :) haha
[16:34] <mazda01> plustax, OH, you mean when I play it back?i am trying to get 4 .mov's combined together, maybe through in some transistions, then burn to dvd for my brother-in-law
[16:34] <Diverdude> i have installed skype. I can play sound in skype perfect. When i try to use the MC in skype, for some reason it turns volume of the mic completely down, so that it is impossible to hear what I am saying in the MC. If I remove the "tick" called "Allow skype to automatically adjust mixer levels", it just does not work at all. Could I be missing something?
[16:34] <major_redhat> xpo0f: they might have something that could help you
[16:34] <xpo0f> major_redhat: yeah im know.. im just to share it with newbie here
[16:34] <JordiRT> syk: is there a way to force a basic configuratin startup
[16:34] <plustax> yes mazda01 :)
[16:34] <natewiebe13> any reason the panel configuration doesnt get saved?
[16:34] <kyentei> Diverdude: There's a setting in skype which makes skype not do anything with your microphone.
[16:34] <ksbalaji> II  nnooww  hhaavvee  PP55KKPPLL--AAMM  IINN  ((AASSUUSS))
[16:35] <Diverdude> kyentei, where can i find that?
[16:35] <haloPla> is anybody come from CN?
[16:35] <kyentei> Diverdude: I forgot where, somewhere with the sound settings I believe. Let me install skype, one second
[16:35] <BluesKaj> billybigrigger, aha , ther same thing happened to me ..had to remove old graphics driver and install the 190 from the launchpad ppa
[16:35] <mazda01> plustax, weird, xkill seems to be the command but when I click on a window I want terminated, it doesn't go away? does the program have to be frozen for xkill to work? cause I just wanted to try it out on an open firefox program but it didn't shut it down
[16:35] <major_redhat> ksbalaji: im gonna see if that specific mobo model is on the 'ubuntu non-compatible' list
[16:35] <TangentCollision> ksbalaji: Can I get some of what you're tripping on?
[16:36] <xpo0f> major_redhat: wokay
[16:36] <L3dPlatedLinux> was wondering if its just me or what but when i right click I have to hole the right click down and then pick what I want to do from the context menu other wise it opens and pick the first thing it was on. any ideas on this issue?
[16:36] <billybigrigger> BluesKaj: grub reports symbol grub_gettext not found
[16:36] <billybigrigger> BluesKaj: same thing happened to you?
[16:36] <haloPla> hello everyone
[16:36] <Diverdude> kyentei, ok, i am waiting
[16:36] <TangentCollision> ksbalaji: do you have another computer you can irc on?
[16:36] <ksbalaji> TangentCollision> ksbalaji: Can I get  ??  II  ggeett  ttwwoo  lleetttteerrss..
[16:36] <BluesKaj> you ran grub-update no doubt
[16:37] <mazda01> plustax, now where would the xkill icon be stored? i would do a locate on it but I have no idea what it's called
[16:37] <airtonix> L3dPlatedLinux, all context menus or just nautilus?
[16:37] <JordiRT> it seems to be loading somtething at the begining of the session, where can I take a look at that
[16:37] <syk> JordiRT, im stumped, sorry
[16:38] <TangentCollision> ksbalaji: take a look in your BIOS for ke-repeat settings
[16:38] <ksbalaji> TangentCollision> ssoorrrryy  : II  do  nnoott have another computer  ttou can irc o
[16:38] <natewiebe13> is there a way to change the panel configuration is say gconf-editor? or gedit?
[16:38] <JordiRT> is there a way to create a new user from command line?
[16:38] <airtonix> natethebobo, gconf-editor : tree path : /apps/panel
[16:38] <TangentCollision> can you do that?
[16:38] <ksbalaji> II  ccaann  oonnllyy  ccooppyy  &&  ppaassttee  ccoommaannddss..  PPlleeaassee  ttyyppee  ccmmdd  ffoorr  mmee
[16:38] <ManDay> Does anyone use TexLive and can tell me how minimalistic it can be made?
[16:39] <kyentei> Diverdude: At options, go to "Sound Devices" and uncheck "Allow skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels"
[16:39] <natewiebe13> airtonix: would that be a way to fix panels reappearing after deleting them?
[16:39] <dextro_> hello fellow ubuntu users, i am looking for a laptop for my gf. anyone used dell's 10v before?
[16:39] <L3dPlatedLinux>  airtonix  just naut right now but the one to change the theme dosent even pop up now
[16:39] <syk> JordiRT, man useradd
[16:39] <mazda01> plustax, found it, it's named gnome-panel-force-quit.png
[16:39] <Diverdude> kyentei, yes, i tried that...but then it neither plays any sounds nor records any
[16:39] <JordiRT> syk: thnx
[16:39] <syk> JordiRT, adduser username
[16:39] <syk> not to sure which
[16:40] <kyentei> That's the option you need. Make sure everything's set to pulse audio server
[16:40] <airtonix> L3dPlatedLinux, you should confirm if it is system wide or just related to one application
[16:40] <airtonix> natewiebe13, it can be
[16:40] <kyentei> Then all you need to do is adjust your settings at the gnome sound preferences
[16:40] <natewiebe13> airtonix: alright.. because i have 2 montiors, the 2nd is supposed to have no panels, and after restarting the session, they reappear every time
[16:41] <natewiebe13> (after deleting them)
[16:41] <Diverdude> kyentei, if i set everything to pulse and uncheck the auto option....and press make a test sound, there is just an ugly scratch sound
[16:41] <airtonix> natewiebe13, i assume you are aware that gconf-editor is just a front end to the xml files found organised withint directories at : ~/.gconf  ?
[16:41] <Diverdude> kyentei, and when pressing make test call it just sounds completely wrong
[16:41] <kyentei> Diverdude: I used to have that too on 9.04. Now on 9.10 everything's just fine. It's really in the gnome audio settings. Have you checked the correct microphone?
[16:42] <natewiebe13> airtonix: alright.. i will look at those as well. thanks
[16:42] <Diverdude> kyentei, yeah i think i have
[16:42] <natewiebe13> (i figured there were xml files somewhere :P)
[16:42] <airtonix> natewiebe13, gconf-editor or using a texteditor, i recommend using gconf-editor since it propgates the changes to the gconf daemon for you
[16:42] <kyentei> Diverdude: Alright, well that's as far as my assistance can go. Skype is correctly configured if it is set to pulseaudio server and the auto-adjust function unchecked
[16:42] <natewiebe13> thanks
[16:43] <syk> JordiRT,

[16:46] <ksbalaji> Now, Where you got this info regarding new mobos? Can I check that source please?
[16:47] <TangentCollision> master_: oh, in the arch channel, we occasionally get someone talking about problems with their wacom tablets
[16:47] <TangentCollision> it ends up being an experimental driver, might want to try for a bleeding edge package, master_
[16:47] <master_> tangetcollision: i have no real problems, just i cant understand howto get the drivers to run.
[16:48] <TangentCollision> exactly
[16:48] <TangentCollision> AH, OH MY GOD UBUNTU SOUNDS

[16:49] <TangentCollision> ksbalaji: I wish I could, but I don't know what the problem could be

[16:49] <Ookami> hi : .. i need some help regarding "FIND" command
[16:49] <plustax> I need help getting my remote desktop working. my ports are forwarded correctly.
[16:49] <Ookami> anyone know ?? plz
[16:50] <plustax> but its still says only local can connect
[16:50] <plustax> HALP!
[16:50] <TangentCollision> plustax: what kind of remote desktop?
[16:50] <Ookami> hi :) .. i need some help regarding "FIND" command ,, can anyone help ? ? ?
[16:50] <TangentCollision> my favorite package to use is tightvnc
[16:50] <plustax> TangentCollision the one that comes with ubuntu
[16:50] <TangentCollision> plustax: the only ubuntu I have is a server, I barely use VNC, but I use tightvnc for it all
 anyway, thanks. You have some luck or charm in your reply. While chatting here, I somehow stumbled upon getting my keyboard limping up now!
[16:51] <meff> nick shylaalso
[16:51] <TangentCollision> lol
[16:51] <TangentCollision> odd wording
[16:51] <TangentCollision> but I am irish :P
[16:52] <Ookami> LjL, do you know anything about "find" command ?
[16:52] <kheera> Ookami: search google for 'real world find usage'
[16:53] <soreau> Ookami: Can you be more specific about what you want to know?
[16:54] <Ookami> soreau, for example .. i want to know the location of the ".avi" files that contain the word "samurai" in it .. i want to search the whole thing
[16:54] <Enzo_01> i have problems with ubuntu netbook remix 9.10
[16:54] <Enzo_01> and dell 9 mini
[16:55] <MenZa> !details | Enzo_01
[16:55] <kheera> Ookami: this will work: locate samurai | grep avi
[16:55] <Enzo_01> just don`t know how to turn on wireless
[16:55] <ksbalaji> TangentCollision>  Thanks to you - I am able to type a single letter instead of two letters while typing now!
[16:55] <kheera> Ookami: if it is a recent file just run updatedb first.
[16:55] <soreau> Ookami: You might be better off with 'locate' then. Try this: locate samurai|grep avi
[16:55] <Enzo_01> in connection icon up, is shown 'Disconnected'
[16:55] <hadi57> any one can help me connect my I8910HD samsung to ubuntu and sync my contacts?
[16:55] <TangentCollision> how can I force ubuntu installer to install on an HDD it deems too small?
[16:55] <Ookami> soreau, kheera, what dose the "grep" stands for, plz ^^ ?
[16:56] <jeffrey_> need ftp software please
[16:56] <kheera> Ookami: filter. just show the ones that match foo.
[16:56] <syk> Enzo_01, try right clicking on the icon, and select edit connections maybe
[16:56] <jeffrey_> better than gftp
[16:56] <Ookami> it didnt' work :(
[16:56] <Ookami>  locate samurai | grep avi
[16:56] <KcLKcL> jeffrey_: Filezilla works best for me
[16:56] <TangentCollision> I pitty the foo, but I covet the bar
[16:56] <Ookami> no result ..
[16:56] <kheera> Ookami: that means it didn't find any.  run updatedb ifyou are certain the file is there
[16:57] <Ookami> ok
[16:57] <soreau> Ookami: | is a pipe and grep means only display entries with the following word. So locate samari would show all files containing samari, but |grep avi will pipe that output to grep thus only showing files with both samari and avi in their file name

[16:57] <jeffrey_> q
[16:57] <jeffrey_> sq
[16:57] <Enzo_01> there are 5 tabs,with some connections types
[16:57] <soreau> Ookami: But before using locate, you will want to run sudo updatedb
[16:57] <KcLKcL> yeah there is
[16:57] <Ookami> soreau, .avi is just an extention .. will that work
[16:57] <jeffrey_> sweet thanks
[16:57] <soreau> Ookami: This will update the file database
[16:57] <KcLKcL> jefferey_: I am using it :)
[16:58] <soreau> Ookami: Yes, it will work
[16:58] <syk> Enzo_01, try the wireless tab
[16:58] <charles_> Hello everyone, is there a way to use scsi emulation for my DVD drives rather than libata? one of my drives crashes... scsi emulation had solved this on another distro
[16:58] <Enzo_01> SID
[16:58] <Enzo_01> what is this?
[16:58] <Enzo_01> how can i browse for my router?
[16:59] <TangentCollision> Enzo_01: what are you attempting to do?
[16:59] <TangentCollision> wireless?
[16:59] <Ookami> soreau, how to make it "not case sensitive" ?
[16:59] <TangentCollision> "iwlist wlan0 scanning | less" works for me
[16:59] <Enzo_01> TangentCollision, yes
[16:59] <Justcameron> whois Slart
[16:59] <Enzo_01> first i will try this http://accidentaltechnologist.com/technology/enabling-wireless-on-a-dell-mini-9-running-ubuntu-9-1-netbook-remix/
[17:00] <Justcameron> oops :)
[17:00] <Enzo_01> that just now i found in google :)
[17:00] <kheera> Ookami: locate -i filepart | grep -i ext
[17:00] <TangentCollision> Enzo_01: do you know if I can choose what packages get installed with UNR?
[17:00] <om26er> how can i find the MAC address of my wifi device without connecting to a network?
[17:01] <TangentCollision> I'll try the OEM install
[17:01] <AJC_Z0> om26er: ifconfig(8) will tell you
[17:01] <devD> Is there any good package for ubuntu to create pdf document. I want to create a pdf resume.
[17:01] <TangentCollision> it looks pretty, it's grandma friendly, just perfect, if it weren't so bloody fat
[17:02] <soreau> Ookami: -i
[17:02] <kyentei> TangentCollision: Are you speaking of KDE now? ;-)
[17:02] <AJC_Z0> devD: Usually one created the PDF from another document format. One easy way is to configure a PDF printer in CUPS
[17:02] <soreau> Ookami: locate avi|grep -i samari
[17:02] <soreau> Ookami: For example
[17:02] <TangentCollision> kyentei: no, UNR
[17:02] <AJC_Z0> That way you can print any document to a PDF
[17:02] <om26er> AJC_Z0, thanx
[17:02] <TangentCollision> I assume it's build on KDE4 though
[17:02] <kyentei> TangentCollision: I was joking around
[17:02] <TangentCollision> looks like it
[17:02] <bit_bucket> devD, I think OO will convert to pdf
[17:02] <Enzo_01> TangentCollision,  i have a full install of unr
[17:02] <devD> ok
[17:03] <Enzo_01> and not additional
[17:03] <TangentCollision> Enzo_01: I just have a 2GB limit here
[17:03] <eee> buona sera
[17:03] <Enzo_01> TangentCollision, can understand you, i just installed unr as default, and nothing more
[17:03] <eee> un aiuto per natale???
[17:04] <bit_bucket> devd, create the document in OO file-->export as pdf
[17:04] <LjL> !it | eee
[17:04] <devD> but if you want to create a resume in open format , which you would prefer an odt or PDF or something else. If it is odt , I think there may be compatibility issue in the company where I send my resume so I think PDF is good option.
[17:04] <TangentCollision> Enzo_01: hmm, I wonder...
[17:05] <crenedecotret> Hello everyone, is there a way to use scsi emulation for my DVD drives rather than libata? one of my drives crashes... scsi emulation had solved this on another distro
[17:05] <crenedecotret> sorry if I repeated.. NickServ issue :)
[17:06] <arniokas> What's the difference between "xxx" and 'xxx' spelling in the bash?
[17:07] <quidnunc> arniokas: variable expansion is not done in the latter
[17:07] <devD> I have oo and it does not have facility to convert file to PDF format.
[17:07] <Virus_TB> who knows how to isntall a tar.bz files to Pidfin on windows?? https://launchpad.net/pidgin-countdown/+download
[17:07] <Enzo_01> TangentCollision, when i try with 'ifconfig -a', there are no 'wlan0'
[17:08] <Enzo_01> just lo,eth0,pan0
[17:08] <bit_bucket> devd create it in OO and export it as a pdf to send
[17:09] <devD> ok
[17:10] <enry_> hello how to configure my desktop pc with a printer as a printer server for my domestic lan?
[17:12] <inclement> I ran 'gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager xmonad --type string' to test xmonad, but wanted to return to gnome for now. What do I do to return to the original window manage (with compiz). 'gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager metacity --type string' didn't give me the compiz bit
[17:12] <xpo0f> :)
[17:12] <soreau> inclement: sys>prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects <-- set something other than None to enable compiz
[17:13] <inclement> Ah, so compiz is in addition to metacity, not some kind of replacement? Thanks!
[17:14] <soreau> inclement: xmonad, compiz and metacity are all WM's. Only one WM can run at a time in any given X session. So compiz does replace metacity or any other WM for that matter
[17:14] <inclement> Ah, right
[17:14] <inclement> Thank you

[17:29] <LjL> JonathanEllis: ouch. you can try "sudo update grub", but that has to be done from inside your install. you should be able to reach your install by using the CD's recovery mode, though... although i'm not sure Hardy had that, i think it was introduced later
[17:29] <LjL> !grub > JonathanEllis    (JonathanEllis, see the private message from ubottu) otherwise follow the instructions here as if you had wiped it

[17:39] <chiossif> Ubuntu + NVIDIA's 3d Vision = Any experience?
[17:39] <trism> funalien: if you want fast kernel builds, you really need to know your hardware and disable everything else
[17:40] <funalien> trism, I did. (these points I don't need, I've disabled.)
[17:41] <Deviouz> is anyone familiar with gnome-terminal scripting, or xterm scripting? I need to make this work:/
[17:42] <blakkheim> Deviouz: do you mean bash scripting?
[17:42] <Deviouz> yes I guess
[17:42] <blakkheim> Deviouz: it doesn't matter what terminal emulator you run a script in
[17:43] <Deviouz> I want a terminal to open and run the command cksfv -f *.sfv when I clock a sfv file,
[17:43] <trism> funalien: it shouldn't be taking 2 hours+ if you did
[17:43] <Deviouz> but so far I only managed to get the terminal open, but it doesnt run any command
[17:45] <Lemon`> does anyone know where i can find wifi drivers for a dell inspiron 6000?
[17:45] <Deviouz> cksfv is a small program that checks the integrity of a downloaded file, simular to md5
[17:45] <funalien> trism, hm... don't know what to do with this
[17:45] <shortcircuit> I need to get a getty working on the unused vts, as I need to test a libsvga1 program. I don't see any getty processes running, and the mingetty package doesn't appear to have placed anything in /etc/init.d/ ... How do I get the vt console login processes to spawn?
[17:45] <blakkheim> Lemon`: the drivers would be for the wifi card's chipset, not the laptop model. do you know what chipset it has?
[17:45] <Lemon`> no, is there a place where i can find that out?
[17:45] <blakkheim> Lemon`: lspci
[17:45] <trism> funalien: any release you need to build a custom kernel?
[17:46] <trism> funalien: release = reason
[17:46] <henkpoley> after installing custom built (alsa) modules you need to run some command to update the modprobe cache.. anybody knows what that is ?
[17:46] <trism> henkpoley: depmod -a ?
[17:46] <henkpoley> Lets try trism
[17:46] <Lemon`> are you asking if it's a pci card blakkheim?
[17:46] <funalien> trism, want to have a faster kernel without any unusable modules and features
[17:47] <blakkheim> Lemon`: i wasn't asking anything
[17:47] <henkpoley> trism: thanks, seems to have helped a bit
[17:48] <tritium> funalien: no need.
[17:48] <Lemon`> blakkheim: where can i find out what chipset my wifi card is using?
[17:48] <blakkheim> Lemon`: like i said, lspci. it should be towards the bottom of the output.
[17:48] <Lemon`> ok thank you
[17:50] <funalien> tritium, ok :) but I'll try

When i change my mouse pointer to "DMZ White" in the appearance preferences, it remains the default (although it changes to DMZ-White when i hover over Firefox, but reverts back as soon as i hover over the desktop).  I read on a forum that if i type "metacity --replace" it will work -- and it did, but then it disables my 3d Desktop effects
[17:51] <Lemon`> blakkheim: the command gives me the following information: "Network controller: broadcom corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)"
[17:52] <Zeonisis> I can't her through my headphones. Help?
[17:52] <blakkheim> Lemon`: that's a tough one, i had it in the past. broadcom cards aren't as well-supported as i'd like them to be.
[17:52] <Lemon`> would you happen to know where I can find a driver for it blakkheim?

[17:54] <Zeonisis> What?
[17:54] <Zeonisis> Where can I find that?
[17:54] <blakkheim> Zeonisis: open a terminal, run alsamixer, adjust the volume levels. maybe the headphone port is muted or really low.
[17:55] <Crewsr3> blakkheim, do you know what setting I should put in the bios so that the computer automatically starts up when power comes back on?
[17:55] <blakkheim> Crewsr3: it depends on what BIOS you have

When it has booted I guess I could just run update-grub to correct the other entries in menu.lst? I will take a backup copy of menu.lst first!

[18:05] <chadi> is 20GB space enough for an Ubuntu partition? 18GB space, 2GB swap

[18:05] <Ookami> okay :) , how to use locate or find .. on a specific directory .. and also .. "i've seen some command that after you hit "enter" it asks you about the directory to look it .. anyone know it ? ?? ? ?
[18:05] <Boo-boo> gazra just dl .deb from skype.com

[18:06] <gazra> Boo-boo, but before I could just install it with apt-get install skype, what happened?
[18:06] <mario99> hi all
[18:06] <Mrseek> is there any good documentation on the upstart process for ubuntu ?
[18:06] <Kamokow> chadi: Umm its something like... 6 gigs or something IIRC, but you should keep some leeway for program installations
[18:06] <Cobalt> epinky: Thanks, let me have a look at that.
[18:06] <Boo-boo> i dunno i am noob :D
[18:06] <dnivra> !hi | mario99
[18:06] <Boo-boo> but i dl'ed it and its working

[18:07] <mario99> i'm trying to install the Olivetti Techcenter usb umts card but i still fail
[18:07] <Lemon`> blakkheim: I am unsure of which version to download for the wifi driver http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Known_PCI_devices
[18:07] <JonathanEllis1> chadi: Way more space than you need. My system partition is only 3.94 GiB used out of 9.32 GiB. My home partition is considerably bigger but thats because I have loads of music and videos in it.
[18:07] <Lemon`> how do I pick the correct firmware
[18:07] <Boo-boo> maybe u need a workarround if ur cam just show's green window ...
[18:07] <Kamokow> Lemon`: By firmware im assuming you mean version?
[18:07] <Cobalt> epinky: Is it possible to make it use the same naming and directory mounting scheme as gnome-mount does automatically?
[18:08] <bradpitt> gazra, i can't find skype either in medibuntu, but you can always download skype from http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/choose/
[18:08] <Lemon`> well, the table lists different kernals and firmware versions Kamokow
[18:08] <chadi> JonathanEllis1 I think 15GB is more fair for a 500GB hdd :P
[18:08] <chadi> do I need swap? I have 4GB of RAM
[18:08] <Kamokow> Lemon`: Wait, im sorry... I missed part of the conversation, i was assuming you meant ubuntu wise, not driver wise. My bad :P
[18:09] <Lemon`> np
[18:09] <Cobalt> Okay, let me rephrase the question. Is it possible to get gnome-mount to do its magic mounting thing outside of a GNOME session, when I plug in a USB drive?
[18:09] <dnivra> chadi: just keep 1 GB swap; I do too with 4GB RAM. it helps when suspend, hibernate and stuff are used I guess.
[18:09] <JonathanEllis1> chadi: You probably wont need swap but if you have the space why not make a swap partition about 1.5x your RAM.
[18:09] <gazra> bradpitt, but I want to a have a repository, so that it will actualize automatically
[18:10] <JonathanEllis1> chadi and dnivra: If you want to hibernate you must have a swap partition bigger than your RAM.
[18:10] <Cobalt> The problem is, it's counter-intuitive to already have to have a mounting directory for something that's going to be mounted dynamically.
[18:10] <chadi> JonathanEllis1: is hibernation data stored in swap space?
[18:10] <Cobalt> If I'm going to already have an entry for a device like that, I might as well go with fstab, in that sense, in requiring a specific config file(s), autofs/automount is no different.
[18:10] <dnivra> JonathanEllis1: well I don't actually hibernate; too slow on startup after hibernate. and hey is swap used when suspend comes into action?
[18:11] <Lemon`> blakkheim which version of the b43 driver should I download that is listed on this page? http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-old
[18:11] <bradpitt> gazra, i don't think skype will update the software in close time, development for skype in linux is very slow.
[18:11] <epinky> Cobalt: you can put all your customized commands in "/etc/rc.local", obviously gdm must be running
[18:12] <Cobalt> epinky: gdm is running. I'm just not logged in. I know I can do the local commands in rc.local, but afaik gnome-mount is only ever called internally, and I don't know about how to automagically just get the plugged in USB drive to mount into a folder that it takes care of creating.
[18:12] <JonathanEllis1> chadi: 15GB is plenty big enough for your root partition. More than you need. I recommend you create a separate partition for home so you would have three partitions: root (also shown as /), /home and a swap partition. I have my /home partition on a separate hard disk and I have experimented with about four linux distributions on a 40GB drive (my system drive). I also have swap partitions on both hard disks as I understand linux can optimise load be
[18:13] <regex> hello how do i get my builtin camera to work on my eeepc 1000h? kinda lost with trying to figure out how to make it work
[18:13] <Cobalt> Scrap that, I can't even see gnome-mount anymore.
[18:13] <gazra> bradpitt, I read they will open source the skype GUI for Linux
[18:13] <regex> i tried cheese and the cam doesnt pick up any thing, doesnt turn on
[18:13] <Shane_> Can someone please take a peek at my xorg.conf file? I'm getting an error and am about to leave for vacation! Thank you so much! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8553943
[18:13] <Lemon`> Kamokow do you think you could help me, I think blakkheim is away
[18:14] <Kamokow> Lemon'Ö I could try, but im not great with drivers...
[18:14] <Lemon`> Kamokow do you mind if I pm you
[18:15] <bradpitt> gazra, i want skype to open their protocol not their client :)
[18:15] <JonathanEllis1> dnivra: chadi: As far as I understand, when your computer hibernates it saves the entire contents of RAM to your swap partition. When it suspends it doesnt do this but keeps the RAM turned on but switches everything else off or to a low power state. It probably slows down the processor and the RAM a lot too to minimise power consumption. Personally I dont trust either suspend or hibernate so I dont use either. Prefer to shut down properly every time
[18:15] <Lemon`> actually, does anyone know how I can find what kernel I'm running?
[18:15] <maco> Lemon`: uname -a
[18:15] <dnivra> Lemon`: try uname -a
[18:15] <chadi> JonathanEllis1 in fact, I am probably not going to installing another distro, and my data are in the windows ntfs partitions. I'll only have ubuntu for testing purposes.
[18:15] <switch10_> my mpg123 playback is messed up.  it is all staticy when playing back a playlist.  and it crashes when I try to change songs.  ive reinstalled, cant think of anything else.  it worked great on 8.10.  im now on 9.10.  any ideas?

[18:17] <dnivra> JonathanEllis1: I just suspend when walking out for like 5-10 minutes. don't trust hibernate at all - not good. suspend spins down hard disks too right(remember reading that somewhere)?
[18:17] <Kamokow> Leonof`: I can try and help you (pm me if ;))

[18:17] <Belinrahs> !cn | jack86
[18:17] <JonathanEllis1> chadi: Thats fine then. But be prepared that if you like ubuntu, you may want to try out the next release when it comes out (every six months) so if you create a dedicated home partition, all your settings and files will be available to the new release. Just leave enough space for another root partition for the next release. I would suggest making your home partition something like between 5 and 10GB
[18:17] <BluesKaj> JonathanEllis1, yeah I never understood the attraction of never shutting the pc down ...seems some kind of badge of honour not to reboot for months at a time .

[18:18] <maximus_> hi!
[18:18] <JonathanEllis1> chadi: Sorry root partition should be 5-10GB not the home partition. That might need to be larger depending what you want to store in it
[18:18] <Cobalt> BluesKaj: You wouldn't want to shut down your fileserver for example.
[18:18] <sryque> Shane_: what error are you receiving when you try to start X?
[18:18] <Kamokow> BluesKaj: Some people keep there computer on for many different things, some people need to stay on cause they host bots for channels on their computers, etc.
[18:19] <Kamokow> *their
[18:19] <chadi> JonathanEllis1: on my desktop, I have my data in home which is not a separate partition, but I am still able to upgrade to the next release, so what's different?
[18:19] <Shane_> sryque: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8553943 has the screenshots of the xorg error, it cant find displays i guess?
[18:19] <JonathanEllis1> BluesKaj: Well yeah, after all kernel updates come along every so often and you have to reboot for them. With a server, obviously it might not be rebooted for months or even years at a time
[18:20] <chadi> The settings are the same before and fter the update. I though the /home partition was for other linux distros to access the data at the samt time
[18:20] <tesseracter> i want to setup my 2 ssd's on RAID0, i want to use dmraid unless the ubuntu raid is better. what channel should i go to>
[18:20] <jack86> how to work with MTK development enviroment on Ubunutu
[18:20] <JonathanEllis1> chadi: It makes it easier to backup the data if you have a separate home partition. Also I have had problems upgrading from one release to another so now I always do a clean install of a new release and just point it at my home partition. That way, if the new release doesnt work out for me its very easy to go back to the old one since its still there.
[18:21] <Belinrahs> jack86 please /join #ubuntu-cn for support in your native language
[18:21] <epinky> tesseracter: #ubuntu-server
[18:21] <karrot> Is there someway to make my computer connnect to the internet using it's wireless card right when it gets to the login screen?  Right now I have to have it login to a user account to get it to sign on to the internet
[18:22] <JonathanEllis1> chadi: You could also point another distro at your home partition and then it would also have access to your files, bookmarks, email and chat accounts etc.
[18:22] <Kogs> what's the software that installs a bunch of softwares for Ubuntu? I forgot what it's called :#
[18:22] <trism> karrot: did you install the interface for all users in network manager?
[18:22] <jack86> Belinrahs, no matter, is there MTK developer?
[18:22] <chadi> JonathanEllis1 great, then :) I'll take your opinion in consideration
[18:22] <jaypur> does anyone know css, i'd like some help
[18:22] <Belinrahs> Kogs: Ubuntu software center, Synaptic Package Manager, etc.
[18:22] <maco> jaypur: try #css
[18:22] <Belinrahs> Kogs: or do you mean apt?
[18:22] <JonathanEllis1> Kogs: synaptic
[18:22] <karrot> kogs: symantic package manager?
[18:22] <dnivra> JonathanEllis1: one question - when you upgrade(I've usually done clean installs) do the configuration files cause issues? I recently had to re-install because of a small problem but due to some config file in /home, the mouse didn't work. Any thoughts on this?
[18:22] <Kogs> no no
[18:23] <JonathanEllis1> !synaptic | kogs
[18:23] <Kogs> it's a package full of common software
[18:23] <Shane_> jaypur: what do you need help with?
[18:23] <Kogs> it's not synaptic
[18:23] <jaypur> i need to do something like this: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/3950/gridkr.png
[18:23] <freeride> how to wathc eth from terminal??
[18:23] <Kogs> it's 3rd party software
[18:23] <jaypur> every little box on left would be an image
[18:23] <Shane_> for simplicity, i'd say just use a table
[18:23] <Shane_> otherwise
[18:23] <bit_bucket> jaypur http://www.w3schools.com/css/
[18:24] <Shane_> just use align: left on 3 images on the same line, and they will float to eachothers right
[18:24] <jaypur> i'm seaching...
[18:24] <epinky> freeride: sudo ifconfig
[18:24] <pundyou> Hey on my game it freezes sometimes. How can I quit it without restarting?
[18:24] <Boo-boo> any one who can tell me how i get my ubuntu9.10 <> oss4.2 to let programs use 7.1 channel ?
[18:24] <Shane_> jaypur: just use align: left on 3 images on the same line, and they will float to eachothers right and it should line up correctly
[18:25] <freeride> epinky thanks, i know, but how to update this inf?
[18:25] <jaypur> Shane_, hmm
[18:25] <dnivra> pundyou: you mean ubuntu freezes? Ctrl + Alt + F2 and kill the process that caused the freeze. then restart GDM. should be enough I guess.
[18:25] <jaypur> Shane_, i was thinking to make i dunno, like divs?
[18:25] <epinky> freeride: update?
[18:25] <chadi> JonathanEllis1: thank you for the useful info. Also, I think I'll have my swap size small because I won't use hibernation.
[18:25] <Shane_> jaypur: then, margin-left the images to have some padding between them
[18:25] <Kogs> I was looking for Automatix~
[18:25] <JonathanEllis1> dnivra: Not had any issues with that. I would be surprised if there is a conflict though. Usually software is pretty good about that. I guess if a later package uses something different in /home it would probably be named differently. But dont quote me on it. Of course if you have a problem, you always have the option of making a new home for the new release and importing settings and files (or even manually copying them across) from the old release
[18:25] <pundyou> dnivra, when I press that it does nothing. I can't get into the terminal. I know in windows you can just click ctrl alt delete.
[18:26] <freeride> epinky, well smth like sudo watch ifconfig
[18:26] <Amaranth> Kogs: Automatix is no longer in development
[18:26] <Kogs> oh no?
[18:26] <Kogs> :/ too bad
[18:26] <acasimpsonz> can anyone help me with a quick question about uninstalling ubuntu?
[18:26] <jaypur> Shane_, i think i can do it like, align left all images, and the text i define a position for it...
[18:26] <Amaranth> Kogs: Not for almost 2 years

[18:26] <pundyou> tolpico, gnome-shell
[18:26] <dnivra> pundyou: you need to login in the terminal when you press Ctrl + Alt + F2 and only then can you kill or whatever.
[18:27] <pundyou> dnivra, It doesn't work when it freezes. It's a fullscreen game
[18:27] <JonathanEllis1> chadi: A pleasure. There is a lot of info about suggested partitioning schemes for ubuntu and for dual booting on the web. I use two swap partitions on both my hard disks as I have an old slow PC so I need every bit of performance gain I can get.

[18:27] <ChogyDan> acasimpsonz: did you install on a separate partition?
[18:27] <Kogs> thanks for the info~
[18:27] <tolpico> ChogyDan, thanks

[18:28] <acasimpsonz> but now it asks me on startup which one I want to use even without the CD
[18:28] <adante> zhi guys
[18:28] <pundyou> acasimpsonz, livecd?
[18:28] <adante> i ran update manager and it said a new distribution was available (9.10), so i clicked upgrade
[18:28] <adante> it did a few things and then it disappeared
[18:28] <dnivra> pundyou: Ctrl + Alt + F2 is like a boon for killing a process when it stops responding; I've done it for Warzone which is played full screen.
[18:29] <adante> now when i run it it does not show me that a new distribution is available
[18:29] <ChogyDan> acasimpsonz: I thought you could just use the windows uninstall thing in the control panel
[18:29] <pundyou> dnivra, but it doesn't work. That's the thing
[18:29] <acasimpsonz> its not showing up though
[18:29] <LiteralKa> adante: At least it didn't uninstall ubuntu-desktop ;_;
[18:29] <adante> i'd still like to upgrade to 9.19 though
[18:29] <JonathanEllis1> chadi: Unless you have old hardware like I do with only 1GB of RAM its not really necessary
[18:29] <acasimpsonz> in the uninstall section of the control panel
[18:29] <pundyou> dnivra, I'm running age of mythology the titans in wine.
[18:29] <funalien> trism, how much free space do i need to compile and install new kernel?
[18:29] <ChogyDan> adante: can you use the terminal?
[18:30] <dnivra> pundyou: I'm sorry; I don't have much clue what could be wrong; usually Ctrl + Alt + F2 works no matter what. it's like a keyboard interrupt I think.
[18:30] <adante> ChogyDan: yeah
[18:30] <ChogyDan> adante: try gksu update-manager -c
[18:31] <pundyou> dngr, what's the equivalent of pressing the window key?
[18:31] <ChogyDan> pundyou: you could try the key combo to kill x, alt+sysrq+k or something
[18:32] <ChogyDan> pundyou: keep in mind, you will loose everything that was running
[18:32] <pundyou> ChogyDan, I can't get to the terminal. And is there anything that doesn't involve the terminal?
[18:32] <pundyou> ChogyDan, like, is there a simple thing like ctrl+alt+delete?
[18:32] <ChogyDan> pundyou: alt+sysrq+k
[18:32] <dnivra> ChogyDan: not really; just the gnome apps that were running. I did it once and found that transmission was still running. depends on what you do to get the GUI back I think.
[18:33] <pundyou> ChogyDan, what's sysrq?
[18:33] <dnivra> pundyou: it's a button on the top right corner of the keyboard.
[18:33] <adante> ChogyDan: http://pastebin.com/m3d4e0d1b -- the xlib errors are because i'm running through wine i think
[18:33] <adante> ChogyDan: er, through vnc i mean
[18:34] <pundyou> dnivra, ok.
[18:34] <soreau> pundyou: Usually the same as the Print Screen button
[18:34] <ChogyDan> dnivra: yeah.  I believe transmission has a separate process not attached to gnome and separate from the gui which runs the torrents.  So only the gui gets killed
[18:34] <trism> funalien: it can get quite large, I would make sure you have 1 or 2GB worth of space, guessing your other kernel didn't work?
[18:34] <hiexpo> what is the name of the virtual printer that prints to pdf i forgot lol
[18:34] <ChogyDan> adante: maybe you should use do-release-upgrade

[18:35] <dnivra> ChogyDan: a question suppose I restart GDM, all apps are gone. is it the same when I  restart Xorg too?
[18:35] <Kamokow> hiexpo: There are many different virtual printers that make PDF's
[18:35] <ChogyDan> dnivra: AFAIK, yes

[18:44] <Nooneshere> Kamokow i am trying to connect to a friends linux machine.
[18:44] <pundyou> epinky, would this work when it is frozen? (fullscreen windows game running in wine)

[18:44] <dnivra> epinky: yeah I've the same doubt as pundyou will it work when a freeze has occured?
[18:45] <Kamokow> Nooneshere: Well... I dont know why it would be doing that, so I cant help, sorry :-/
[18:45] <dnivra> epinky: i don't think it does; did try it out once. Ctrl + Alt + F2 is what I do.
[18:45] <tstebut> Hello
[18:45] <Kamokow> maximus_: Operating systems on external drive cause a bunch of problems
[18:45] <Nooneshere> Kamokow thank you anyways.
[18:45] <tstebut> Can somebody help with samba
[18:45] <master_> Can somone help me to install drivers for my wacom tablet?
[18:45] <maximus_> Kamokow: why?
[18:45] <dnivra> Nooneshere: perhaps you should say what you did to cause this error. then maybe someone could help you out?
[18:45] <sryque> Nooneshere: put the script you're trying to run in pastebin so someone can have a look
[18:46] <pundyou> dnivra, well it doesn't work. It works now, but not when it is frozen.
[18:46] <Zeonisis> What do ctrl-alt f1-f10 do?
[18:46] <Kamokow> maximus_: Because usually your external drive isnt mounted by your bios
[18:46] <ganymede> hello, i'm running ubuntu 9.10 but when pinging seems to be very slow as well as traceroute. when i ping, the ping times are very low (17 ms to google.com) but there's a large amount of time between pings, which is unusual. traceroutes also occur very slowly---it's about five seconds in between each line. on other computers, pings have 1 second in between and traceroutes are almost instantaneous, as expected. i've tried two different
[18:46] <ganymede>  NICs on this comp and both show slow traceroutes and slow pings
[18:46] <sryque> tstebut: describe the issue you're having
[18:46] <Shane_> sryque: Thank you! now it boots up and displays my wallpaper on the secondary monitor as well, but i can't seem to "reach" it
[18:46] <Zeonisis> What do ctrl-alt f1-f10 do?
[18:47] <dnivra> pundyou: I'm really stumped as to why it's not working for you. In fact most stuff that work for me don't seem to work for most people in this support channel:).
[18:47] <Alacard> If someone's got a minute, my Ubuntu 9.10 hangs on boot & I could use some insight
[18:47] <fahadsadah> bye
[18:47] <maximus_> Kamokow: it is very interesting that in these moredn times the bios has difficulties since in the past (my old machine) this is handled without no problems
[18:47] <Kamokow> Alacard: any specific error messages?
[18:47] <Alacard> none at all :(
[18:47] <pundyou> dnivra, :P
[18:47] <Zeonisis> What do ctrl-alt f1-f10 do?
[18:47] <Izinucs> Alacard: is that after the first menu while trying to boot into the live environment or do you even see the first menu?
[18:47] <jtaji> ganymede: 1 second is supposed to be default, what if you do: ping -i 1
[18:47] <pundyou> dnivra, well I'll try ctrl alt d when it happens
[18:47] <Nooneshere> This is my script. ssh -Y -l deskuser <IP>
[18:47] <tstebut> sryque, I'm checking logs
[18:47] <maximus_> Kamokow: when I boot my old system from external hdd, I have no trouble
[18:48] <tstebut> And I got lib/interface.c:load_interfaces(543)
[18:48] <funalien> trism, how to find uuid of the new kernel? (think)
[18:48] <tstebut>   WARNING: no network interfaces found
[18:48] <pundyou> Zeonisis, console
[18:48] <Zeonisis> That's it?
[18:48] <sryque> Shane_: thats an improvement.  its possible you will need to specify the location instead of it being relative to the default screen
[18:48] <ganymede> jtaji, yes, but how does knowing that help me?
[18:48] <Kamokow> maximus_: You could theoretically force it to mount
[18:48] <Nooneshere> How do i input a computer ip also? I put the router as IP and then what?
[18:48] <dnivra> pundyou: do tell me if Ctrl + Alt + D works ok
[18:48] <tstebut> sryque, that's when starting nmbd obviously
[18:48] <maximus_> But if I force the computer to boot from my external HDD, then it loads just fine
[18:48] <pundyou> dnivra, ok
[18:48] <Alacard> I see no menu :(  I have my boot partition on as IDE Slave chan 0, but my /home folder is on a SATA
[18:48] <dnivra> pundyou: thanks
[18:48] <jtaji> ganymede: umm.. did you try ping -i 1
[18:48] <Kamokow> maximus_: However that would depend on your BIOS and such, so you would have to contact your computers manufacturer
[18:48] <dnivra> Nooneshere: you are trying to use ssh?
[18:48] <maximus_> Kamokow: force how?
[18:49] <epinky> pundyou: is that a Wine problem?
[18:49] <sryque> Nooneshere: if your'e using ssh, it should be username@hostname
[18:49] <Izinucs> Alacard: ah.. this is after an install?
[18:49] <pundyou> epinky, maybe
[18:49] <ganymede> jtaji, oh sorry, i misread what you said. yeah, when i do ping -i 1, there is still a 5 second delay between pings
[18:49] <Alacard> I have already installed it and it worked a few times, but now... no bueno
[18:49] <epinky> pundyou: I mean it freezes whe using wine?
[18:49] <pundyou> epinky, maybe the screen res, because my computer doesn't allow a lot of screen res'
[18:49] <jtaji> ganymede: that's odd
[18:49] <pundyou> epinky, yes
[18:49] <ganymede> jtaji, 6 packets transmitted, 6 received, 0% packet loss, time 25141ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 14.717/15.372/15.806/0.443 ms
[18:49] <Kamokow> maximus_: There really is no surefire way of doing it, you are better off making a small ubuntu partition (like 10 gigs) on your built in drive, then using the external drive for storage imho
[18:49] <Nooneshere> I am trying to use SSH, but what do you mean Username@hostname? How do i do hostname? router then ip address or what?
[18:49] <dnivra> Nooneshere: yeah it's ssh username@hostname like sryque said. also ssh server should be up and running on the host too.
[18:49] <maximus_> Kamokow: I don't really get it though... since if I boot from USB stick, linux loads fine, but not the same from external HDD?
[18:50] <epinky> pundyou: try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=528066
[18:50] <ganymede> jtaji, you can see the average ping time is 15 ms but the total time for 6 packets is over 25 seconds
[18:50] <Izinucs> Alacard: first test .. get into your bios and change the boot order of the two drives.. if that doesn't work put it back to where it was and most likely you'll have to fix grub (the boot loader) .. it's most likely in the wrong location.
[18:50] <Izinucs> !grub2 | Alacard
[18:50] <Nooneshere> But what is the hostname? Its a friends computer. So do i do the router then his ip?
[18:50] <trism> funalien: uuid should be the same, the uuid is of the partition, not the kernel (you can use blkid to find uuids of partitions)
[18:50] <jtaji> ganymede: how about: sudo ping
[18:50] <Kamokow> maximus_: Did you install the usb version on the external drive? Because that WOULD work, however, I wouldnt recommend it.
[18:50] <sryque> tstebut:  if you could put the relevant data from the log/screen into a pastebin, we could have a look
[18:50] <jtaji> ganymede: and/or sudo ping -i 1
[18:50] <dnivra> Nooneshere: I'm PMing you; just check.
[18:50] <Alacard> sounds like a plan to me, tyvm
[18:51] <ganymede> jtaji, the problem is still there. and AFAIK, ping is install and suid anyway since you need to be root to send raw ICMP packets
[18:51] <ganymede> jtaji, ping is installed as suid*
[18:51] <pundyou> epinky, ok.
[18:51] <maximus_> Kamokow: I installed linux normally onto the external hdd, but I don't see the difference! Why does the BISO mount the usb stick and not mount the HDD?
[18:51] <Shane_> sryque: do you have an example of that? i assume you are talking about line 46
[18:51] <jtaji> ganadist__: also only root can ping < 0.2sec interval
[18:51] <pundyou> epinky, be back soon if it doesn't work. :)
[18:52] <funalien> trism, thanks a lot. I'm going to try to reboot my system :D seems, it won't work :D
[18:52] <jtaji> ganymede: ^^
[18:52] <Kamokow> maximus_: Is the UUID setup properly in GRUB (just thought of this), because that may be causing the problem
[18:52] <vaporub> have you pinged the loopback?
[18:52] <jtaji> ganymede: I can't say I've ever encountered this problem
[18:52] <Leoneof`> anyone can help me with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8524780
[18:52] <maximus_> Kamokow, I can not tell
[18:53] <funalien> trism, but why my initrd-2.6.32.2 - 47MB???
[18:53] <ganymede> jtaji, with ping -i .2, it's still 5 seconds between pings
[18:53] <tstebut> sryque, thank you : http://pastebin.fr/6344
[18:53] <Kamokow> maximus_: Well Im not that good with grub, however if you ask about checking your UUID's im sure someone here could help
[18:53] <ganymede> jtaji, actually, let me try changing the port on my router. maybe this port is bad
[18:53] <Bcool> Okay, so I want to upgrade to 9.10 however last time I tried it the internet became messed up on me. As in it would run very slow and not connect to many websites. Is their a fix for this so I can try upgrading agian?
[18:53] <ganymede> jtaji, so brb
[18:53] <jtaji> ganymede: could someone have setup an alias?
[18:53] <jtaji> ok
[18:53] <Izinucs> Leoneof`: did you install the driver you downloaded from nvidia or the one listed in Hardware Drivers section of the menu?
[18:53] <ganymede> jtaji, but traceroutes are slow as well
[18:53] <Alacard> Izinucs, thank you very much
[18:53] <ChogyDan> Leoneof`: is the pic messed up?
[18:53] <Izinucs> Alacard: did that work?
[18:53] <ganymede> jtaji, and i'm the admin user here and i never set up any alias
[18:54] <guideX> Thanks ubuntu guys.. Resurrected an old Dell inspiron 600m laptop for use in the front room during todays holiday party. Has a bad hdd with bad blocks and bad sectors, but ubuntu did some maintenance right off the setup dvd and installed without a problem. Not a good long term choice for the laptop, but will last the day in the front room if anyone wants to use it.
[18:54] <Leoneof`> lzinucs: i tried with both, nothing new
[18:54] <trism> funalien: don't know, seems kind of big (I usually don't use an initrd when I make a custom kernel, I just compile the drivers needed to access my hard drives in statically)
[18:54] <vaporub> do you have any QoS on your router?
[18:54] <Leoneof`> Izinucs
[18:54] <maximus_> Kamokow, but listen... I have an external HDD set up with linux 8.10 and with my old desktop it works; now, if I use that drive with my laptop, it does not work - however it's the same drive
[18:54] <Leoneof`> ChogyDan: it is Ubuntu, not pic
[18:54] <Alacard> yeah, I was being silly I guess
[18:54] <Alacard> thanks for your time, I'm up and running again
[18:54] <Kamokow> maximus_: Yes, that is because you need to add the boot setup to your GRUB install on the PC
[18:55] <Kamokow> maximus_: It isnt just carried around with the drive, its installed in your bios
[18:55] <funalien> trism, I'll write you soon :)
[18:55] <Kamokow> (to put it in laymans terms)
[18:55] <Izinucs> Leoneof`: well.. most likely you're having a conflict between the ubuntu supplied driver and the one from nvidia.. before installing the nvidia binary you have to uninstall the ubuntu supplied nvidia bits.. use synaptic package manager for that.. when installing the nvidia binary you have to do it at cli with gdm shutdown..
[18:55] <Izinucs> Alacard: :)
[18:55] <Belinrahs> what is the terminal command to add my user to a group? I want to add user "garret" to group "fuse"
[18:56] <Izinucs> Alacard: Merry Christmas (if you celebrate)
[18:56] <Alacard> thanks man, you too
[18:56] <sryque> Shane_ : I'm going to PM you
[18:56] <maximus_> Kamokow, so ... there is no way to have an OS on an external drive that I can use anywhere without too much trouble? :(
[18:56] <jtaji> Belinrahs: sudo adduser garret fuse
[18:56] <Kamokow> maximus_: not really :-/
[18:56] <Belinrahs> ok it says i already am...odd
[18:56] <master_> Can somone help me to install drivers for my wacom tablet?
[18:56] <Kamokow> maximus_: Listen, I g2g right now, sorry :-/, ask someone for help on adding a different os to grub, someone should definately be able to help. Sorry i couldnt be of more help :(
[18:56] <maximus_> Kamokow, that sounds just kind of unbelivable :(
[18:57] <maximus_> Kamokow, thanks
[18:57] <Kamokow> maximus_: Yup, good luck ^^,
[18:57] <Izinucs> master_: should just work.. if you're trying to get it functional in gimp or inkscape look in gimps settings.. there is a place to "name" the tablet and set some settings.. most people forget that.
[18:57] <Leoneof`> Izinucs: any website can explain in detail?
[18:57] <ganymede> jtaji, yes, i can confirm it's not the router port. i switched the ports on a router with another computer but this computer is still slow with ping and traceroute and the other pings and traceroutes fine
[18:58] <master_> izinucs: the board does respong to my stylus, but the comptuer just doesn't.. it does not even recognize it
[18:58] <Belinrahs> i'm using the "ipod touch 3G sync over USB without jailbreaking" tutorial on the forums, I'm at the part where I have to mount the device using "sudo ifuse /mnt/ipod/" and I get error "ERROR: the mount point specified does not exist"
[18:58] <Izinucs> Leoneof`: probably.. I haven't searched.. I"m at work now and about to be kicked out for the day otherwise I'd walk you though it..
[18:58] <vaporub> ganymede: try pinging without dns (ping -n)
[18:58] <Izinucs> master_: in what program?
[18:58] <ganymede> vaporub, you're a genius...it works as expected
[18:58] <Izinucs> master_: or  no program ... just as an additional mouse type control?
[18:59] <master_> izinucs: well. just the OS. it should be possible to use it as a mouse right?
[18:59]  * ganymede smacks forehead
[18:59] <vaporub> yep... always dns :)
[18:59] <master_> i cant even move the mouse with the stylus, izinucs
[18:59] <dorne> My usb mouse went of fritz just now :/ , are there any logs that can help me diagnose why I'm having this problem again and again?
[18:59] <jtaji> ganymede: doh... I recently started using google's dns servers
[18:59] <Izinucs> master_: yep..  there's lots of threads on the forums about wacom.. it's really not that tough to get it working.. check out and search for your wacom model or generically in www.ubuntuforums.org
[19:00] <ChogyDan> dorne: dmesg
[19:00]  * Izinucs wishes everyone celebrating a Merry Christmas.. signing off.
[19:00] <master_> izinucs: alright man, thanks for your time, have an awesome xmas!
[19:00] <sryque> tstebut:  I'll have to see your smb.conf
[19:00] <dorne> I'll try that, thanks
[19:00] <funalien> trism, it works! ЖВ
[19:01] <chadi> does ubuntu support touch screen laptops?
[19:01] <funalien> trism, but too slowly and with many errors :D
[19:02] <trism> funalien: at least it worked, what sort of errors?
[19:02] <funalien> trism, let me see. First: nvidia-kernel-module not found
[19:02] <ganymede> vaporub, jtaji: the solution was to change the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf so that "mdns" occurs after "dns". apparently, ping and traceroute resolve names in a way that slows them down but nothing else exhibited this effect with the misconfigured /etc/nsswitch.conf
[19:02] <agni109> Merry Christmas everyone
[19:02] <two> :)
[19:03] <vaporub> gj ganymede
[19:03] <vaporub> worth taking note of that
[19:03] <ganymede> vaporub, jtaji : thanks for pushing me in the right direction
[19:04] <funalien> trism, which log file should i look for?
[19:04] <dnivra> Wow half hour past midnight; merry christmas to all(whether you celebrate or not:))
[19:05] <trism> funalien: dmesg will probably give you the best info (/var/log/messages)
[19:06] <monkill> !nvidia
[19:08] <funalien> trism, no errors, luckily. But I can't set the real resolution for my display
[19:10] <tstebut> Sorry, been disconnected
[19:10] <dorne> is there any way to get my usb mouse to start working again? only my usb mouse is affected. The power is there, the mouse on screen just won't move
[19:10] <tstebut> sryque what can you tell about it ?
[19:11] <trism> funalien: been a while since I built a custom kernel for ubuntu, but I used to have to reinstall the nvidia drivers with each new kernel. Now they are automatically built with DKMS, but I'm not sure how to enable that for a custom kernel.
[19:12] <jackson> where in PA mewshi
[19:12] <funalien> trism, anyway, thanks a lot, it's my first kernel, I've ever built
[19:16] <TangentCollision> hey, I can't get UNR to install, it keeps telling me that it cannot mount /dev/loop1 to /cow
[19:16] <TangentCollision> so I'm assuming it's trying to mount a CD to the /cow directory, but there's no CD involved
[19:17] <Dr_Willis> cow? thats the name of my pc! :)
[19:17] <bastidrazor> cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\]
[19:18] <bastidrazor> sorry, .. kids attack
[19:18] <epinky> bastidrazor: lol
[19:19] <trism> funalien: you could try something like sudo dkms build -m nvidia; sudo dkms install -m nvidia; that should rebuild and install the nvidia module for the running kernel (assuming that is your custom kernel)
[19:19] <trism> oops, too slow
[19:19] <TangentCollision> is there a channel specifically for UNR?
[19:21] <epinky> !unr
[19:21] <mizerydearia> `ps aux|grep X` returns /usr/bin/X :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-wyJVhH/database -nolisten tcp vt7
[19:22] <mizerydearia> I would like to add -logverbose 9.  Where can I configure this so X starts with that verbosity for logs?
[19:23] <funalien> trism, is it possible to compile a kernel, whick would boot in 10 seconds?
[19:23] <funalien> trism, default kernel boots in 41 seconds, my in 45
[19:24] <Dr_Willis> Talking about kernel time.. or the time for the whole os?
[19:24] <jelly-bean> heeyy
[19:25] <trism> funalien: couldn't really say, I'm not one who tries to optimize the boot process much, I don't mind taking a few sips of coffee while I wait
[19:25] <epinky> Dr_Willis: yesterday you were talking about an ARM Smartbook, is it available for sale?
[19:26] <funalien> trism, :)
[19:26] <TangentCollision> AGHAGAMH
[19:26] <_diablo> hey, can anyone here help me with an acidrip problem please? It can't load the dvd to find my crop ratio although it loads the chapters

[19:26] <_diablo> any help would be very much appreciated
[19:26] <TangentCollision> I can't get ubuntu netbook to install, what the hell is this?
[19:27] <Dr_Willis> TangentCollision:  what are you installing exactly a, and how.  ?
[19:27] <Leoneof`> anyone can help me with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8524780

[19:27] <TangentCollision> Dr_Willis: I'm trying to install OEM from ubuntu netbook remix, but it tells me...one sec, it's about to tell me again
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> installing via cd? flash drive? how did ya make the cd or flash drive..
[19:28] <TangentCollision> Dr_Willis: "Gave up waiting for root device."
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> Not sure how/what 'OEM' means in this case. :)
[19:28] <trevor> why does my internet connection keep disconnecting when i start up deluge....it only happens on ubuntu
[19:28] <TangentCollision> flash drive via unetbootin, also tried flash drive via the iso and "make usb install" on the CD
[19:29] <TangentCollision> there was an OEM install method which would probably be my best bet.
[19:29] <_diablo> Can anyone help me with my mplayer problem please?
[19:29] <Dr_Willis> TangentCollision:  an alternative way is make a flash drive with grub2 and use grub2 to boot the iso. But somthing sounds weird..
[19:29] <TangentCollision> Dr_Willis: that would not help
[19:29] <TangentCollision> the actual boot from live kernel is borked

[19:56] <Kevin-Gilbert> blackstar_: add water
[19:57] <blackstar_> i'm sorry?
[19:57] <Kevin-Gilbert> heard it helps
[19:57] <blakkheim> nat2610: ubuntu isn't exactly the most up to date distro
[19:57] <Flannel> milkmas: Not the desktop, just the alternate
[19:57] <Flannel> Kevin-Gilbert: When helping, please be helpful.
[19:58] <AJC_Z0> milkmas: Did you try booting "linux text"?

[20:00] <blackstar_> does any one know how to make a fan work on a laptop running linux
[20:01] <epinky> !fan | blackstar_
[20:01] <AJC_Z0> blackstar_: I find that running a distributed.net client usually gets it working
[20:01] <Silence_> Heya
[20:01] <blackstar_> epinky yes
[20:01] <Silence_> Trying to completely bomb my disk before I install again... I can't remove the swap partition using gparted... how can I do this?
[20:02] <blakkheim> Silence_: are you using a livecd
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> Silence_:  boot a live cd and use gparted..
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> Silence_:  or just not worry about it.
[20:02] <Decepticon> how do i sync the time on cli with time.nist.gov
[20:02] <Silence_> I am using a usb stick created using the USB Startup Disk Creator
[20:02] <blackstar_> my fan does not turn on when i boot my computer
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> why do you feel the need to delete  the swap partition?  You coul duse the fdisk command to delete it also if you wanted
[20:02] <blackstar_> i have to suspended it the  wake it up
[20:02] <Silence_> Dr_Willis: I'd like it to be completely clean. How would I do this using FDISK?
[20:03] <Dr_Willis> Silence_:  run fdisk, and use the d)elete feature
[20:03] <Dr_Willis> Silence_:  the W)rite changes to disk
[20:03] <max_kolc> help
[20:03] <St-Lemur> Hi, I just upgraded to Karmic and X fails to start. Message is "FATAL: Module nvidia not found"
[20:03] <Dr_Willis> then rebioot. :)
[20:03] <Silence_> Hrm.
[20:03] <Dr_Willis> fdisk is tghe old-skool partioner tool
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> People just dont realize they need to 'write' changes to disk. :)
[20:04] <nat2610> blakkheim, which is why I asked my question ... but 4.6 is recent and most of the distro don't have it yet... so I can't really blame anyone at this point
[20:04] <Silence_> Well, says I have /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda5 as the swap, yet fdisk /dev/sda2 gives me unable to open /dev/sda2
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> Silence_:  you DONT do fdisk /dev/sda2
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> You use 'sda'
[20:05] <przemek_> ??
[20:05] <blackstar_> ubuttu thanks for the help but i get a error message whenever i run that command
[20:05] <nat2610> Silence_, what do you expect to do doing fdisk on a swap
[20:05] <przemek_> ??
[20:05] <Silence_> same deal
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> Silence_:  then you are doing somtuing wrong..
[20:05] <Silence_> nat2610: I'd like to wipe my disk.
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> Silence_:  sudo fdisk /dev/sda
[20:06] <nat2610> Silence_, man swapon
[20:06] <Silence_> there we go
[20:06] <blakkheim> nat2610: gentoo has it :)
[20:06] <switch10_> Silence_: is it unmounted?  it needs to be unmounted to edit anything  you may need to use a LiveCD
[20:06] <AJC_Z0> St-Lemur: So install the nvidia module
[20:06] <Dr_Willis> fdisk can delete mounted stuff.. :) but a crash of the OS normally happens soon afer you do that. :)
[20:06] <jabagawee> i know linux normally caches as much in ram as possible, but right now my computer is showing 31% actual ram usage and 5% cached. i have 6GB of memory, so what is about 2GB being used for? i have almost nothing open.
[20:06] <CyberGabber> blackstar_:Try this: Disconnect the ac-adaptor, remove the battery, so the laptop has NO pwer at all. Wait for about 1 min. Now place battery, start laptop, see if fan works than. Sometimes this kind of procedure will help.
[20:06] <switch10_> Silence_: sorry omit that...
[20:07] <TheCowboy> neone here know ne redhat enterpise
[20:07] <St-Lemur> AJC_Z0: where did it go?
[20:07] <Silence_> k thanks guys, I think I have it.
[20:07] <nat2610> blakkheim, and opensuse too .... so I'm happy for them, now I need to address my problem with 75% of the other distro, starting with ubuntu ... since it's kind of more popular than all the other distro
[20:08] <duffydack> does anyone elses wireless using bcm43/sta driver in karmic when downloading for extended period of time, it starts to slow down, then stop for a second tehn go again... its not my internet as i keep testing with wired and its constant speed...
[20:08] <TheCowboy> any redhat enterprise people here?
[20:08] <epinky> TheCowboy: join #rhel channel
[20:08] <TheCowboy> thx
[20:08] <Dr_Willis> TheCowboy:  why would there be?
[20:08] <AJC_Z0> St-Lemur: It was removed during the upgrade since it's tainted
[20:08] <St-Lemur> AJC_Z0: OK.
[20:09] <St-Lemur> I'll have a go at putting it back in.
[20:09] <epalm> suggested tool for extracting audio from a video?
[20:10] <blakkheim> epalm: ffmpeg
[20:10] <switch10_> epalm: avidemux
[20:10] <basicxman> asdfghjkl;'
[20:10] <epalm> switch10_, i have avidemux open here.  not sure how to do it though...
[20:10] <basicxman> Yesss keyboard works properly in 9.10

[20:12] <hikenboot> if ssh will not take a user password , and the password of the user is known what does this mean (note its not the root user
[20:12] <blakkheim> hikenboot: use ssh -v and pastebin the output
[20:12] <switch10_> hikenboot: the user name is wrong??
[20:12] <Sofia> I am trying to install 9.10. I have a dual boot XP/8.10 and I formatted the ubuntu partition. I am now running 9.10 live cd. At the "prepare disk space" screen it says "This computer has no operating system on it." Why?
[20:13] <azooz> hi
[20:13] <AJC_Z0> St-Lemur: "sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-185" should get you on the right path
[20:13] <hikenboot> blakkheim, the -v switch doesnt exist
[20:13] <S0LIDUS> How can i install tripwire on hardy server?
[20:14] <hikenboot> its open ssh
[20:14] <epinky> Sofia: is your hard disk recognized?
[20:14] <blakkheim> hikenboot: -v means verbose and it is a valid switch when calling ssh
[20:14] <bradpitt> goodnight everybody.. and merry christmas :-)
[20:14] <St-Lemur> AJC_Z0: when I put that in it says it wants to remove 11 packages including gnome-volume-manager{u}, that doesn't sound healthy...
[20:14] <Sofia> epinky: yes
[20:15] <epinky> Sofia:can you see your partitions?
[20:15] <hikenboot> this is the output of ssh -v http://pastebin.ca/1726203
[20:15] <Koganei> I've heard of a program a couple of months ago that would make a shell permanently open in ubuntu, which you could slide in/out with a keybinding (like ` or ~)
[20:15] <Sofia> epinky: if I select "Specify partitions manually", I can see all of them
[20:15] <blakkheim> hikenboot: i mean.. ssh -v user@server
[20:16] <Koganei> but I can't remember what it's called
[20:16] <hoelk> tilda
[20:16] <hoelk> guake
[20:16] <hoelk> yakuake
[20:16] <hoelk> all those
[20:16] <Koganei> sweet
[20:16] <Koganei> thanks
[20:16] <hoelk> (some probably missspelled)
[20:16] <hoelk> ;)
[20:16] <FloodBot2> hoelk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:17] <epinky> Sofia: MBR was not cleaned ? I mean, can you boot as usually, right?
[20:17] <AJC_Z0> St-Lemur: That sounds dodgy, but you probably still want to do it. Sound stuff in Gnome changed in 9.10 so your update probably left some cruft
[20:18] <Sofia> epinky: I think so. I just formatted the ubuntu partition using gparted live cd
[20:18] <St-Lemur> AJC_Z0: OK
[20:19] <epinky> Sofia: can you reboot and try?, just to make sure MBR was not touched
[20:19] <Sofia> epinky: ok, trying now...
[20:20] <hikenboot> http://pastebin.ca/1726207
[20:20] <St-Lemur> AJC_Z0: Oh, it's worse than I thought. "Failed to load the nvidia kernel module".
[20:20] <Hilikus> how do i change the actions allowed from my multimedia keys on my keyboard?
[20:20] <AJC_Z0> St-Lemur: My preference on all platforms* is to never upgrade across major releases. The effort involved in the troublesome small differences between a clean install and upgrade almost always exceed the effort of a clean install, configure and data restore
[20:20] <halvor> hello
[20:21] <switch10_> Hilikus: system>prefs>keyboard shortcuts
[20:21] <yoshio_2211> hello
[20:21] <blakkheim> hikenboot: looks like you are running it as root and there may be a misconfiguration on the server side
[20:21] <switch10_> Hilikus: not every keyboards multimedia keys work though..
[20:21] <Hilikus> switch10_: that lets me map keys to predefined actions. i want to map to CUSTOM actions
[20:22] <switch10_> Hilikus: No.  you can link any key combo to any command you want.  click on add on the bottom...
[20:22] <hikenboot> blakkheim, any idea what that misconfiguration might be
[20:23] <Sofia> epinky: Strange! I can still boot in ubuntu and in XP!
[20:24] <blakkheim> hikenboot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Advanced or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH might help. you might want to setup public key authentication instead of using passwords. can you pastebin /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the server?
[20:24] <epinky> Sofia: can you explain to me what you want to do?
[20:24] <AJC_Z0> St-Lemur: You other easy option of to change the driver from "nvidia" to "nv" or even "vesa" in xorg.conf, or easier just remove xorg.conf
[20:25] <javier> i have a proble with my xubuntu
[20:25] <switch10_> Hilikus: did you get it?
[20:25] <Sofia> epinky: I want to install Karmic from scratch AND still be able to dual-boot in XP
[20:25] <Silence_> Hey
[20:25] <javier> im working at 800 x 600
[20:25] <Silence_> K, now...
[20:25] <Hilikus> switch10_: oh yea! thanks!
[20:25] <switch10_> Hilikus: sure
[20:25] <javier> how can i increase resolution to 1200
[20:26] <Silence_> Trying to burn a windows XP install disk, and when it's done burning, I try to open it (after ejecting and reinserting it again), and I get Can't mount, Bad Superblock.
[20:26] <javier> I recomend to use an alternate CD for installing ubuntu
[20:26] <Sofia> epinky: Btw, ubuntu doesn't really boot, it just shows the loading screen. WHich means that boot sector is ok, right?
[20:26] <hikenboot> blakkheim http://pastebin.ca/1726213
[20:26] <switch10_> javier: system>prefs>display
[20:26] <javier> yes.. i think
[20:27] <javier> only 800*600
[20:27] <javier> no more
[20:27] <epinky> Sofia: yep, but GRUB v1 is on it, Karmic uses Grub2
[20:27] <javier> i work with an intel card
[20:27] <Silence_> I am using Brasero to burn the disk, would it be better to use something else?
[20:27] <javier> silence, no brasero is good
[20:27] <Silence_> Well then...
[20:27] <switch10_> javier: sounds like you need to get drivers for that card.  whats the model
[20:27] <Silence_> I've used this iso before, so I know it's goood.
[20:28] <javier> i dont know
[20:28] <spydmobile> Hi Folks, I just lost my critical netbook, its UNR karmic and halts with a kernel panic, nothing I do has helped, is there someone who might be able to assist me?
[20:28] <javier> do i need propertary drives?
[20:28] <switch10_> javier:  sudo apt-get install sysinfo
[20:28] <St-Lemur> AJC_Z0: I think I fixed it. The new kernel needed to be told how to work with nvidia
[20:28] <javier> do i have to modify xorg
[20:28] <switch10_> javier: maybe..  depends on the card
[20:28] <St-Lemur> so sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` followed by sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-`uname -r`
[20:29] <Sofia> epinky: I was told that I should be able to do what I want without messing with grub. Grub2 will be automatically installed. Or not?
[20:29] <switch10_> javier: you prob wont have to modify anything
[20:29] <AJC_Z0> javier: Try removing your xorg.conf if you have one. If that doesn't help, try generating one with "X -configure"
[20:29] <St-Lemur> I will reboot and see if it sticks but I've got a working gnome
[20:29] <djali> i would like to find the proces of a program which is listening on port 6667 please and the pid
[20:29] <AJC_Z0> St-Lemur: Glad to hear it
[20:29] <switch10_> javier: install that program and run it and find out what kind of card you have
[20:29] <djali> how do i do that?
[20:29] <blakkheim> hikenboot: i redid a little bit of it, replace it with this one. http://pastebin.ca/1726216 then restart the ssh server and do ssh -v username@server
[20:29] <REVURB> can someone help me with a extensive backup operation ?
[20:29] <Silence_> Any ideas here? My end to this means is to dual boot XP alongside Ubuntu
[20:30] <Dr_Willis> djali:  6667 looks like an IRC port to me
[20:30] <bastidrazor> switch10_: javier84 or you could use lspci | grep VGA
[20:30] <REVURB> Is there a way to change the actuall timeout rate of R:0 ?  (retry before fail) for corrupt files ?  (not the actual number of retries before it stops the process but the number of milliseconds it takes before it stops the initial one )
[20:30] <djali> Dr_Willis: yes some1 has hacked my box and has changed the proces name
[20:30] <epinky> Sofia: maybe that's the problem, I suggest you to "fixmbr" (clean GRUB from MBR, and restore XP NT-loader) and retry runnin LiveCD
[20:30] <maco> djali: "sudo netstat -anp | grep 6667" i think
[20:30] <djali> maco: thank you
[20:31] <switch10_> Silence_: how far are you?  make sure xp is installed first
[20:31] <Silence_> switch10_: I am failing at burning the XP disk -_-
[20:31] <switch10_> Silence_: windows will overwrite grub
[20:31] <switch10_> Silence_: is it an ISO?
[20:31] <Silence_> twice now, I have a cd with a bad superblock.
[20:31] <Silence_> Yes.
[20:32] <amelcic> is there any site with guids for msn on irssi ?
[20:32] <switch10_> Silence_: before you burn, go into preferences in your burning program and burn at the lowest possible speed
[20:32] <REVURB> silence DVDDisaster
[20:32] <Silence_> switch10_: will try
[20:32] <Sofia> epinky: can you explain a bit more, please? Do I just run fixmbr from command line or what?

[20:40] <switch10_> REVURB: so dvd disaster works??  does it work with scratched dvd's??
[20:40] <hikenboot> blakkheim, I want to start by thanking you for your time. It did end up authenticating but it prompted for a password 3 times then it prompted for user1@host which did authenticate on the second try ( I think i miss-typed this users password on the second to last attempt
[20:40] <REVURB> yes yes yes yes yes yes
[20:40] <REVURB> omfg yes
[20:40] <Silence_> Well, my problem isn't with a scratched/ruined disk
[20:41] <soreau> REVURB: Even with acronyms, please be more careful..

[20:41] <Sofia> I have a dual boot system with XP and Ubuntu 8.10. I want to install Karmic from scratch AND still be able to dual-boot in XP. Any help?
[20:41] <goose[PC]> EntityReborn?
[20:42] <WinterWeaver> I'm trying to use the Disk utility to format a USB disk but I keep getting erros
[20:42] <mmarc__> jpds: yeah, I need it for particular purpose: it seems one app can't work with java6
[20:42] <REVURB> I am doing a big recovery process , I have tried UnstoppableCoppier , but that doesn't use the -p  switch , does anyone have any suggestions ?
[20:42] <REVURB> :(
[20:43] <soreau> Sofia: So just install over the 8.10 partition. It  properly setup grub for you during the install
[20:43] <EntityReborn> Jeesh
[20:43] <switch10_> REVURB:have you tried back in time??
[20:43] <WinterWeaver> getting this error when I try to format a usb disk (to make it bootable) http://smoeboe.pastebin.com/d1c95b013 .... can someone assist?
[20:43] <EntityReborn> Darn it.
[20:43] <REVURB> whats that switch10_  ?
[20:44] <REVURB> Is it a recovery program ?
[20:44] <itachi_linux> i quit :P
[20:44] <EntityReborn> switch10_: burning it at 10x didn't help either
[20:44] <switch10_> REVURB: yes
[20:44] <REVURB> well i need something that will  do   R:0  - negative
[20:44] <Sofia> soreau: I am using the live cd now. Can you please tell me what to do, ah, step-by step? thanks in advance!
[20:44] <REVURB> meaning I need something someway to change the default timeout rate of either the kernel or the command
[20:45] <REVURB> because i have waaaaaaaaaaaaay to many bad blocks
[20:45] <switch10_> EntityReborn: i burn mine at 4x.  What is the error you are getting?
[20:45] <REVURB> So far I have successfuly recovered atleast  50% of the disc
[20:45] <always_smile> hello there everyone,hope all are doing alright,anyone knows how I can get vlc,realplayer plugins for google chrome,thank you
[20:45] <REVURB> :)
[20:45] <soreau> Sofia: Do you see the Install icon on the desktop?
[20:46] <chris231989_> chrome has plugins?
[20:47] <hikenboot> blakkheim, i just saw your post that you have to step away. Thanks again for your help. If you could answer 2 questions it would be helpful (when your free) 1) why does it fail on the "password' prompt 3 times when ssh to the local host 2) what did you change in that config that i first sent to you?
[20:47] <Tiders> How is Ubuntu Netbook remix
[20:47] <adante> hi guys
[20:47] <adante> i just upgraded to 9.10
[20:47] <adante> now when i boot it kernel panics with a "not syncing - out of memory and no killable processes" error
[20:48] <adante> is it likely that i can get this fixed without spending 10 hours on it?
[20:48] <Tiders> adante, I have a fix that would take you about 10-20 minutes
[20:48] <REVURB> it would seem mondo backup  and mondo rescue  are good programs but i don't know how to install them , they are giving me issues
[20:48] <adante> Tiders: shoot
[20:48] <soreau> adante: If you have the option of reinstalling fresh, that would probably be easiest
[20:48] <spydmobile> My UNR Karmic Netbook is crashing on boot with kernel panic, seems that /sbin/init is giving error - error while loading shared libraries libdbus-1.so.3 - no such file or directory - I have alt boot disks - but dont know how to troubleshoot this.
[20:48] <adante> soreau: i kind of liked my setup and would prefer to avoid that if possible
[20:49] <Tiders> adante, First all you need to do is put in a Ubuntu live CD then click "Install ubuntu 9.04"
[20:49] <Sofia> soreau: I booted with live cd and chose Install Ubuntu. At the "prepare disk space" screen it says "This computer has no operating system on it." Should I choose "Specify partitions manually"?
[20:49] <matt2254> I'm trying to get my x100p modem working.  I installed the zaptel package, but it doesn't seem to have any kernel modules in it... [this is a common modem used with asterisk]
[20:49] <soreau> Sofia: It's booted on the computer that has xp and 8.10 installed on it's hard drive?
[20:49] <Tiders> Sofia, Is it supposed to see another Operating System?
[20:50] <Sofia> soreau: yes. But I have formatted the 8.10 partition
[20:50] <soreau> adante: Which kernel version are you booting?
[20:50] <darthanub> can someone please try to dcc me a text file?
[20:50] <DaZ> Sofia: always do partitioning manually
[20:50] <plustax> so is anyone experienced with ubuntu and using webcams in stickam?
[20:50] <adante> soreau: i guess whatever was in 9.10
[20:50] <DaZ> it's much safer [;
[20:50] <soreau> Sofia: Did you verify you didn't inadvertently nuke the xp partition as well?
[20:50] <plustax> I am having some major issues with stickam ever since I started using ubuntu
[20:50] <soreau> adante: Dont guess
[20:51] <Sofia> Tiders: Shouldn't it be able to see XP? I can still boot in XP
[20:51] <Tiders> soreau, Doesnt every 9.10 release have the same kernel......
[20:51] <Tiders> Sofia, Yeah it should be seeing it
[20:51] <soreau> Tiders: He said it was an upgrade. I've seen cases were they upgraded but were still booting an old kernel
[20:51] <Umeaboy> Hi!
[20:52] <Umeaboy> What's the right codec for wmal?
[20:52] <adante> soreau: 2.6.31-16
[20:52] <Tiders> soreau, Oh I see... I didnt hear the upgrade part... In that case sometimes the old kernel still shows up in GRUb and he may be selecting the old one
[20:52] <trism> Sofia: it said the same thing when I clean installed 9.10, even though it has both 9.04 and XP on there, but it detected XP fine after I selected the partitions manually
[20:52] <soreau> adante: Well that looks like the right kernel for 9.10 afaict, that was my only idea though
[20:52] <EntityReborn> SO, I'm kinda getting pissed off.
[20:52] <Sofia> trism: good, ty
[20:52] <Umeaboy> Why is it impossible to install codecs for each format one by one?
[20:53] <Umeaboy> That should be an option.
[20:53] <switch10_> EntityReborn: have you tried another burning program?
[20:53] <Dr_Willis> Umeaboy:  go to the mplayer homepage and get them  then
[20:53] <Sofia> trism: can you please help me configure the partitions?
[20:53] <Umeaboy> Dr_Willis: For Totem?
[20:53] <switch10_> EntityReborn: always burn ISO's at the lowest possible speed to ensure no errors
[20:53] <EntityReborn> switch10_: looking for one I can install on my live USB now
[20:53] <Dr_Willis> totem can use the w32codecs i do belive.. personally I rarely use totem. its rather.. bad in many ways
[20:54] <EntityReborn> basically, the error is isofs_fill_super: get root inode failed
[20:54] <Dr_Willis> Umeaboy:  mplayer and vlc beat totem by a very large margin
[20:54] <trism> Sofia: you said you already had 8.10 on there right? can't you just select the root and swap partitions from that? (and /home if you have it)
[20:54] <mobi-sheep> Umeaboy: Try VLC
[20:54] <Umeaboy> mobi-sheep: Yeah. Tried that.
[20:54] <AlexIte> Does anyone use ubuntu server?
[20:54] <Umeaboy> I'm running 64-bit.
[20:54] <Sofia> trism: no, i formatted the 810 partition.
[20:54] <always_smile> anyone knows how to get VLC,realyplayer plugins for google chrome?
[20:55] <darthanub> AlexIte, #ubuntu-server guys do
[20:55] <bastidrazor> AlexIte: everyone does in #ubuntu-server
[20:55] <switch10_> EntityReborn: a lot of people like K3b
[20:55] <trism> Sofia: it should still be there though unless you deleted it...
[20:55] <EntityReborn> switch10_: I don't have the space for that on my USB
[20:55] <AlexIte> thanks
[20:55] <darthanub> can someone please try to dcc me a text file?
[20:55] <SirStan> this is the intarweb 2.0 and u want dcc?
[20:55] <switch10_> EntityReborn: I never liked it much.  gnome baker works well..
[20:55] <IdleOne> darthanub: on the way
[20:56] <Sofia> trism: yes, the partition is there. So, I right click on it, select change and use as what?
[20:56] <EntityReborn> switch10_: what is the package name... I can't install it from software center
[20:56] <Sofia> trism: "ext3 journaling file system"?
[20:56] <switch10_> EntityReborn: go here http://appnr.com/?search=burn+cd
[20:57] <trism> Sofia: up to you, you may want to use ext4 (it is a bit quicker when it has to fsck)
[20:57] <switch10_> appnr.com is awesome
[20:57] <EntityReborn> k
[20:57] <darthanub> IdleOne, thanks, confirms my setup is broekn:(
[20:57] <Sofia> trism: ok, and mount point? "/"?
[20:58] <sean_koosa89> Let's say I have about 2MB of static data (images, css, js) and I need to serve about 1TB worth of it per month to users who visit this site.  What's the cheapest (but still fast) way to serve 1TB worth of static data  per month?  AWS S3?  Dedicated server with lighttpd or nginx? shared hosting?
[20:58] <EntityReborn> erm...
[20:58] <EntityReborn> weird
[20:58] <EntityReborn> "Enabling Universe Failed"
[20:58] <EntityReborn> -_-
[20:58] <trism> Sofia: yep
[20:58] <EntityReborn> I'll install to HD then go from there
[20:58] <erpo> I installed the celestia package in ubuntu 9.10 but some textures are missing. Mars looks like a featureless light red ball. Any ideas?
[20:58] <trism> Sofia: assuming that was your old root partition from 8.10
[20:59] <EntityReborn> switch10_: if I install Ubuntu now, then install XP later, is there a way I can reinstall grub later on?
[20:59] <andyzammy1> hello everyone! i can't launch minicom because it's saying Device /dev/ttyUSB0 is locked. (i think its because i didn't close my last minicom session properly). how can i unlock ttyUSB0 so i can use minicom again?
[20:59] <Sofia> trism: ok, anything else I should change here? I keep the old swap and that's all?
[20:59] <switch10_> EntityReborn: its a pain man.  it is possible with a live cd though
[20:59] <EntityReborn> andyzammy1: locked = in use.
[20:59] <EntityReborn> hm
[20:59] <EntityReborn> ok
[20:59] <tj83> what's the best tool for encoding dvd's? I have used devede but they come out as like 2.5gb images when it reports to use 4.7 gb, resulting in poor quality
[20:59] <trism> Sofia: that should be it
[21:00] <ortsvorsteher> EntityReborn: cause of mickeysoft needs block zero on disk drive, you have first install windows after that linux.
[21:00] <Umeaboy> Anyone knows why the right codec can't be found and installed?
[21:00] <Dr_Willis> tj83:  devede has quality settings. Its a front end to mpeg/ffmpeg and it can  fill out the dvd to 4.7gb if ya wanted tio
[21:00] <bastidrazor> tj83: normally the quality being poor would be a poor initial file. all the avi's i've converted to dvd have come out with excellent quality.
[21:00] <EntityReborn> ortsvorsteher: meh.
[21:00] <Dr_Willis> Umeaboy:  ive never had totem properly find half the coecds it tries to get.
[21:00] <IdleOne> Umeaboy: what codec?
[21:00] <EntityReborn> I'll figure it out.
[21:00] <mmarc__> !info wine
[21:00] <ortsvorsteher> have fun
[21:00] <andyzammy1> EntityReborn: i closed my last minicom session which used usb0 though - i have even just reinserted my usb->serial adapter so it can't possibly be in use. is there no way to unlock it w/o restarting computer?
[21:01] <mmarc__> hm, nice, when where is it?.. wine
[21:01] <bastidrazor> tj83: there is also handbrake .. it does well. handbrakecli i think is the name
[21:01] <EntityReborn> andyzammy1: reboot?
[21:01] <Umeaboy> IdleOne: To play wmv-files.
[21:01] <Der_Kleene> just a small question int    $0&#65533;80   ist this assembly code for        do instruction
[21:01] <IdleOne> mmarc__: System > Admin > Synaptic package manager and search for wine
[21:01] <Sofia> trism: and next screen I have to select username and pass. Will this be the root pass?
[21:01] <Der_Kleene> just dont know what this line is doing
[21:01] <Umeaboy> For 64-bit.
[21:01] <IdleOne> Umeaboy: ahh, beats me :(
[21:02] <tj83> Dr_Willis, bastidrazor well, I am aware of the settings etc, i have spent much time fiddling with it. but when i do so and it reports prior to the start of the operation that it will create an image approx 4.7gb, yet the product file is only approx 2.5 gb, there is something not right with this.
[21:02] <andyzammy1> EntityReborn: i *could* i suppose i was just hoping for a quicker+easier way to do it
[21:02] <tj83> bastidrazor, is there a handbrake gui front?
[21:02] <trism> Sofia: ubuntu doesn't use root passwords, that will be your main user, and you do everything you need to as root with sudo and your password
[21:02] <switch10_> Umeaboy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[21:03] <trevor> is there a way to make the icons on my desktop smaller?
[21:03] <Sofia> trism: ok, it detected my xp user accounts. I guess it's going to work as dual boot
[21:03] <switch10_> Umeaboy: you get that??
[21:03] <ian_> Is it possible to restore the original menu items at the top of the screen?  I accidentally deleted the panel.
[21:03] <trism> Sofia: yep you should be good
[21:03] <mmarc__> IdleOne: no wine there also, only playonlinux, strange. But, logicaly, synaptic cannot see more, than apt-get.
[21:04] <microhaxo> which build of swiftfox should i use for
[21:04] <maco> trism: i think you can right click on an icon and make it bigger or smaller
[21:04] <microhaxo> intel Atom processor?
[21:04] <EntityReborn> ian_: they are all widgets you can get by right clicking the panel and click Add to panel
[21:04] <Der_Kleene> ist x80 orsomething do instruction
[21:04] <trevor> maco: thanks!
[21:04] <microhaxo> i keep trying to install swiftfox-i386 and it says it doesn't exist
[21:04] <IdleOne> mmarc__: do you have the Universe repo enabled?
[21:04] <mmarc__>   playonlinux: Depends: wine but it is not installable
[21:04] <mmarc__> E: Broken packages
[21:04] <microhaxo> there is a swiftfox-i686 ?
[21:04] <Der_Kleene> -.-"
[21:04] <Umeaboy> switch10_: Thoose didn't work since I already have extras installed.
[21:05] <REVURB> Whats the best way to get rid of bad blocks , or a screwed up MFT ?
[21:05] <ian_> Well I don't know how to make it say "applications" and stuff, it just has the ubuntu logo.
[21:05] <EntityReborn> Buy a new drive
[21:05] <REVURB> How can I tell the difference
[21:05] <Umeaboy> REVURB: fsck -l
[21:05] <bastidrazor> tj83: handbrake-gtk but i thinkyou may need a ppa for it.
[21:05] <IdleOne> mmarc__: run sudo apt-get install -f
[21:05] <REVURB> Umeaboy:  ?
[21:05] <switch10_> Umeaboy: then you should have support for wmv files
[21:05] <EntityReborn> ian_: I told you already :)
[21:05] <IdleOne> mmarc__: -f will try to fix those broken packages
[21:05] <tj83> bastidrazor, ok thanks, i'll look
[21:05] <ramblagir> I have Windows installed on a separate partition. Is it possible to run that partition as a virtual machine?
[21:05] <EntityReborn> It;s all under Add to panel
[21:05] <EntityReborn> ramblagir: no
[21:05] <Tiders> Can a .img file be used like a .ISO
[21:05] <ramblagir> EntityReborn, why not?
[21:05] <Umeaboy> switch10_: Yeah, but I'm still being told to install it.
[21:05] <ian_> Which ones are they?
[21:06] <bastidrazor> Tiders: you can convert it to an iso with poweriso
[21:06] <ramblagir> Tiders, depends on the situation
[21:06] <EntityReborn> ramblagir: because of the way windows binds itself to hardware
[21:06] <Sofia> trism: ty
[21:06] <ramblagir> EntityReborn, I see. thanks :)
[21:06] <kheera> ramblagir: vmware has something called physical to virtual. it is possible to bring your partiiton into a virtual machine but easier to just install windows in a virutal machine
[21:06] <EntityReborn> :)
[21:06] <tengenso> anyone tried installing xampp? I installed xampp on ubuntu. ran security to set passwords and make it secure. But for the xampp pages it only asked password to set, but now when I try visiting xampp pages, it asks username too. what is this username?
[21:06] <Tiders> ramblagir, Well I went to download moblin but it came in a .img file
[21:06] <ramblagir> kheera, which vmware product?
[21:06] <EntityReborn> kheera: that must be new
[21:06] <ramblagir> Tiders, #moblin

[21:07] <tukeke> do you speak spanish

[21:07] <mizerydearia> I modified /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc adding -logverbose parameter however, after rebooting the computer, `ps aux|grep X` does not show that -logverbose parameter.  What file do I have to modify so that X is started with -logverbose 20?
[21:07] <switch10_> microhaxo: looks like there are 2 64 bit versions. 230 and 330. if you have one of these 2 you have 64 bit
[21:08] <IdleOne> mmarc__: try changing servers? from Software Sources
[21:08] <microhaxo> I have an atom n280, i just used the prescott one

[21:17] <Zeonisis> Does #xkcd still exist?

[21:18] <microhaxo> Alright guys, i just got ubuntu 9.10 installed and running on my Eee pc 1000he, it runs great! i heard that there are some graphics drivers that i should use other than the default ones that will boost performance greately? something like uxa or uxr something like that im not sure, here is my chipset: Intel 945GSE
[21:18] <darthanub> IdleOne, I think your right
[21:18] <darthanub> IdleOne, port range 1000-2000 is forwarded to an invalid LAN ip
[21:18] <IdleOne> darthanub: :)
[21:18] <IdleOne> fix it
[21:18] <darthanub> IdleOne, try me again, hopefuly this time is a charm:)
[21:18] <IdleOne> darthanub: sending
[21:18] <Belinrahs> microhaxo: I'll find them for you
[21:18] <beeftube> thankyou switch10_ !!
[21:18] <darthanub> crud
[21:18] <Purpley> How do i install .bin files?
[21:18] <Zeonisis>  Does #xkcd still exist?
[21:19] <microhaxo> Ok thanks, the default ones seem to work fine, but if there are some other ones i should use, i will def use them.
[21:19] <Umeaboy> Purpley: Via Terminal.
[21:19] <IdleOne> Zeonisis: /join #xkcd and see
[21:19] <Zeonisis>  Does #xkcd still exist?
[21:19] <bastidrazor> Purpley: normally a .bin file is to be run as is the actual program you want.
[21:19] <Purpley> kk
[21:19] <IdleOne> darthanub: in your irc client set Get IP from server
[21:19] <Zeonisis> No, it doesn't..
[21:19] <bastidrazor> Purpley: or it is part of a disk image.. bin cue .. etc.
[21:19] <Purpley> No its seperate
[21:20] <Travis-42> I keep going to system->preferences->touchpad and choosing "disable" and the touchpad is disabled for about 10 seconds and then is reenabled. how do I keep it disabled?
[21:20] <darthanub> IdleOne, that is checked
[21:20] <darthanub> IdleOne, I have my wlan ip in there
[21:20] <darthanub> IdleOne, I can send, but just can't receive
[21:20] <switch10_> Travis-42: do it as root??  maybe
[21:20] <Belinrahs> microhaxo: I'm seeing suggestions that the generic driver you're using right now is the best for 1000HE eee.
[21:20] <bastidrazor> Purpley: you could run the file by type ./filename.bin  .. assuming you're in the same directory
[21:21] <IdleOne> darthanub: what client are you using?
[21:21] <Purpley> kk thanks
[21:21] <Belinrahs> microhaxo: the previous release (Jaunty) it was suggested that you upgrade drivers, but 9.10 (Karmic) comes with a better driver for it
[21:21] <Travis-42> switch10_, no difference when doing it as root
[21:21] <darthanub> IdleOne, xchat
[21:21] <Jax> hello
[21:21] <Purpley> also happy christmas eve guys
[21:21] <Purpley> :)
[21:21] <Jax> what's the general way to update the system in ubuntu? never used ubuntu
[21:21] <Purpley> Update manager
[21:21] <microhaxo> Ok, Sweet :D
[21:22] <Belinrahs> microhaxo: np :)
[21:22] <EntityReborn> Any ideas, people?
[21:22] <IdleOne> darthanub: not sure what else to suggest. try asking in #xchat maybe
[21:23] <Jax> without GUI Purpley
[21:23] <darthanub> thx
[21:23] <Jax> i'm in a virtual server running ubuntu 9. something
[21:23] <Jax> would basically like the newest apache
[21:23] <microhaxo> Ok so i installed Guake, and SwiftFox. Any other suggestions/tweaks for an Eee pc for performance?
[21:24] <IdleOne> darthanub: When offering a DCC file, xchat will tell the receiver your address. If it says 192.168.0.1, the receiver will not be able to connect. One way to make it send your "real" address is to enable the "Get my IP from IRC Server" option in xchat. This option is available in Preferences -> File Transfers. When you turn it ON, you will have to re-login to the server before it'll take effect.
[21:24] <IdleOne> darthanub: exit and come back
[21:24] <switch10_> microhaxo: try a different window manager
[21:24] <darthanub> IdleOne, I'm already there ;)
[21:24] <darthanub> Yeah I see
[21:24] <darthanub> thx:)
[21:24] <microhaxo> Any suggestions?
[21:24] <IdleOne> np
[21:24] <sryque> Jax:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[21:24] <microhaxo> i still want it to look nice :|
[21:25] <chadi> During ubuntu installtion, I have 2gb ramining free space, I want them as swap. But there isn't /swap as mount point in the list. If I type it manually and go forward, it will tell me that you did not create swap. Whats wrong
[21:25] <Jax> can you see the details of dist-upgrade?
[21:25] <switch10_> microhaxo: xfce or fluxbox are pretty lightweight
[21:25] <sryque> Jax:  you're looking to upgrade a specific package or then entire system?
[21:25] <microhaxo> Well i better stick with gnome, im sorta newb at hard core linux stuff so, i want to get used to an easy interface before i go hard core.
[21:25] <Jax> sryque good to know both
[21:25] <Jax> dist-upgrade is entire system i suppose
[21:25] <Jax> (i'm starting to recall from my debian times)
[21:25] <switch10_> microhaxo: xfce looks nicer
[21:26] <microhaxo> i'll check her out
[21:26] <switch10_> microhaxo: fluxbox is super fast though...
[21:27] <sryque> Jax:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-cache search apache; sudo apt-get install [package]
[21:27] <switch10_> microhaxo: those are the only other 2 ive tried.  i never even messed with KDE
[21:27] <i_is_broke> what is the command to force fsck on reboot?
[21:28] <Jax> oh and one question.. say i want to compile postgresql with postGIS support, how do that generally work on these package based systems?
[21:28] <microhaxo> KDE is eyecandy galore, its really nice but i doubt its "light"
[21:28] <Jax> i_is_broke i think you can just touch a file named forcefsck in /
[21:28] <Jax> or use the shutdown -rF now
[21:29] <sryque> Jax:  you'll have to download the source
[21:29] <Jax> that'll force a fsck too
[21:29] <Jax> how can i get the current version of a package in my apt-cache?
[21:29] <Jax> never says under apt-cache search
[21:30] <Umeaboy> What's the right codec for playing Windows Media Audio-files?
[21:30] <i_is_broke> Jax, thanks ill check it out.
[21:31] <zleap> Umeaboy, i think its in the w32codecs pack
[21:31] <darthanubis> IdleOne, again?
[21:31] <Alex_2_3> how can i get a debian pkt without installing it? i tried apt-get install -d <pktname>  but that doesnt work if the pkt is allready installed
[21:31] <i_is_broke> well all have a safe and merry christmas...:D
[21:32] <sryque> Jax:  to regen all of your caches, sudo apt-cache gencaches.  to retrieve a new list of packages sudo apt-get update
[21:32] <Belinrahs> If I'm running standard Ubuntu 9.10 and I'd like to install the KDE desktop, can I switch easily between KDE and GNOME afterwards?
[21:32] <Umeaboy> w32codecs doesn't appear when searching. Where is it?
[21:34] <Belinrahs> Anyone?
[21:34] <dabaR> !anyone
[21:34] <George_E> How does one change the boot menu in Ubuntu 9.10?
[21:34] <dabaR> Heh, he still knows about that.
[21:35] <dabaR> George_E: using instructions shown here:
[21:35] <dabaR> !grub | George_E
[21:35] <bastidrazor> Belinrahs: install kubuntu-desktop and at the login screen choose between the two.
[21:35] <Umeaboy> zleap: Nope. Can't find it here in the repo.
[21:35] <Belinrahs> bastidrazor: that's what I was looking for, thanks!
[21:35] <dabaR> !grub2 | George_E
[21:35] <_Near_> -fr
[21:35] <bastidrazor> Belinrahs: sure thing. have fun
[21:35] <ovnandan> my flash is not working properly...
[21:35] <dAlfa89_> !fr | _Near_
[21:36] <Alex_2_3> how can i get a debian pkt without installing it? i tried apt-get install -d <pktname>  but that doesnt work if the pkt is allready installed
[21:36] <ovnandan> youtube and any other flash video not making any sound
[21:36] <zleap> Umeaboy, you may need to enable the restricted (non free repositories)
[21:36] <ovnandan> what to do?
[21:36] <dabaR> Alex_2_3: you want to download the deb?
[21:36] <dabaR> The binary deb
[21:36] <zleap> on 9.04 the options for that are in system - administration - software sources (I think)
[21:37] <Alex_2_3> dabaR, yes
[21:37] <ovnandan> my flash is not working...sound isnot coming...what to do?
[21:37] <dabaR> Alex_2_3: and you looked at the usual place where packages get downloaded with that -d?
[21:38] <Umeaboy> zleap: Huh? It IS enabled.
[21:38] <_ronald> ovnandan, installed all updates?
[21:38] <nevets04> how do you go up one level in terminal?
[21:38] <adalal> ovnandan: checked your pulseaudio volume manager?
[21:38] <Alex_2_3> dabaR, no, where ist it?
[21:38] <ovnandan> yes
[21:38] <dabaR> Alex_2_3: /var/cache/apt/archives
[21:38] <zleap> ok
[21:38] <hajmola> i'm trying to play some .3gp videos from my cellphone and I don't get any sound.... anyone have any ideas?
[21:38] <Umeaboy> In the tab called Other software there's no Non-free repo for Karmic.
[21:38] <Bookman> Any one here have a D-Link DIR-615 router and uses the Access Control feature?
[21:39] <adalal> Umeaboy: yup i do!
[21:39] <sebsebseb> hi
[21:39] <zleap> medibuntu
[21:39] <Alex_2_3> dabaR, no there is nothing
[21:39] <zleap> try in there
[21:39] <ovnandan> adalal:yes...other app is working on sound, just not only youtube vids (flash)
[21:39] <yoshio_221> hey so i checked md5sum for my desktop i386 ubuntu 9.10 and burned it, verified it and tried runnning but i cant get the live to start up, nor installation. what can i do
[21:39] <Umeaboy> adalal: Huh?
[21:39] <adalal> Umeaboy: i have a DIR-635
[21:39] <Umeaboy> I've got 64-bit arch.
[21:39] <adalal> oh wait
[21:39] <Iowan> nevets04: cd ..
[21:39] <adalal> that wasn't u
[21:39] <Alex_2_3> dabaR, there are some debs but nut the one I want
[21:39] <adalal> nvm
[21:39] <Flannel> yoshio_221: Do you have another computer you can try it with?
[21:40] <adalal> Bookman: yes i do...
[21:40] <yoshio_221> yes ive tried it with 2 other computers and they work fine
[21:40] <zleap> Umeaboy, i have this in my sources.list deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ jaunty free non-free # disabled on upgrade to jaunty
[21:40] <zleap> deb-src http://packages.medibuntu.org/ intrepid free non-free
[21:40] <nevets04> Iowan, Thanks
[21:40] <yoshio_221> and this computer is better than those 2
[21:40] <X-Sleepy-X> yoshio_221: You could try the alternate installation CD perhaps.
[21:40] <zleap> i however strongly advise waiting for comments from others before doing anything, I am not expert enough to advise further here
[21:40] <yoshio_221> i have tried the alternate, but it says the cd cannot be mounted/ found
[21:40] <ovnandan> adalal: all other applications are working fine but just youtube videos not making any sound...
[21:40] <Flannel> yoshio_221: Can you verify the CD on the other computers as well?
[21:40] <dabaR> Alex_2_3: you could also download from the archives difrectly.
[21:40] <adalal> ovnandan: tried looking up the flash properties?
[21:40] <yoshio_221> yes i can
[21:40] <Bookman> adalal, And you have Access Control working fine?
[21:41] <adalal> Bookman: yes indeed
[21:41] <dabaR> Alex_2_3: http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[21:41] <Flannel> yoshio_221: Then the CD is fine
[21:41] <Alex_2_3> dabaR, I'll try that but it would be great if something with apt-get works
[21:41] <Bookman> adalal, I tried setting mine up yesterday for the first time for one wired machine.  I found out that it was also blocking another wireless machine and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
[21:41] <yoshio_221> then are there any reasons why the installation or anything is not booting? i know the cd rom doesnt need an additional driver
 i created an ldap/samba domain controller, is there a way to create and apply group policies
[21:42] <Izinucs> Is there a #kubuntu+1 for 10.04 or is #ubuntu+1 used or is #kubuntu used?
[21:42] <maco> Izinucs: all in #ubuntu+1
[21:42] <tukeke> ok
[21:42] <adalal> Bookman: were you setting up a general stopper for the wired machine? or was it just specific ports?
[21:42] <dabaR> Alex_2_3: aptitude download packagename
[21:42] <yoshio_221> any help?
[21:42] <Izinucs> maco: thanks
[21:42] <Bookman> adalal, general stopper.  I want that machine to have no access to the internet at certain times.
[21:43] <yoshio_221> ive tried the usb installation as well but it doesnt work
[21:43] <Flannel> yoshio_221: What's on that machine currently?
[21:43] <adalal> Bookman: and on the wireless machine, is it stopping ALL connections as well?
[21:43] <yoshio_221> it has windows xp on another partition
[21:43] <Alex_2_3> dabaR, ah thanks that works
[21:43] <domjohnson> Hello
[21:44] <Bookman> adalal, I only tested the browser
[21:44] <adalal> Bookman: and it didn't allow connections to a website?
[21:44] <adalal> Bookman: for the wireless?
[21:44] <dabaR> Alex_2_3: yw
[21:44] <domjohnson> I'm using MonoDevelop, and was wondering - how do i view the 'form designer' using GTK#?
[21:44] <devD_> is there a tool to edit a PDF file ?
[21:44] <chadi> does (hd0) mean the hard disk?
[21:44] <Bookman> adalal, No.  I turned off Access Control, and it worked, I turned it back on, and it blocked.
[21:45] <dabaR> devD_: edit how?
[21:45] <Flannel> yoshio_221: You could try installing via Windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[21:45] <yoshio_221> for the usb installation i used unetbootin, but since my bios doesnt allow me to boot from usb i used plop boot manager but it still doesnt work updating the bios is not necessary, correct?
[21:45] <yoshio_221> ive tried wubi before, but even after reboot i dont get anywhere
[21:46] <adalal> Bookman: and what kind of Address type did you use?
[21:46] <devD_> dabaR, its a resume having good look , boxes and I want to edit my info there. If I copy the format  does not come.
[21:46] <Bookman> adalal, In the browser?
[21:46] <Flannel> yoshio_221: That's actually not wubi.  But wubi not working is even odder, since that uses the windows bootloader anyway.
[21:46] <nucc1> anyone got rhythmbox song showing as status in empathy?
[21:46] <dabaR> devD_: I don't know that it can be done.
[21:46] <OzTrOuT> merry christmas everyone
[21:46] <ent> same to you
[21:47] <adalal> Bookman: no, for setting the access control, you're required to enter what type of address, whether it's IP, MAC or 'other machines'. Which one did you use?
[21:47] <yoshio_221> so if wubi doesnt work should i even bother trying the method you gave me?
[21:47] <devD_> dabaR, ok, I thought if we can export an odt as PDF in OO so we could do PDF to odt too.
[21:48] <Bookman> adalal, IP
[21:48] <dabaR> devD_: Might be possible, I just never heard of it.
[21:48] <Zeonisis> LIST
[21:48] <adalal> Bookman: and you're sure that the wireless device isn't using that IP by any chance?
[21:48] <microhaxo> whats the best RAR unpacker?
[21:48] <microhaxo> for ubuntu 9.10?
[21:48] <fossiiil> unrar
[21:48] <fossiiil> :-)
[21:48] <Dr_Willis> !rar
[21:48] <Umeaboy> I found a way now, but I had to google.
[21:48] <adalal> Bookman: could just be a result caused due to IP clashes
[21:48] <Bookman> adalal, Yes, policy is for 192.168.0.112.  Wireless is 192.168.0.102
[21:49] <tukeke> ubuntu 10.04 Alpha
[21:49] <Umeaboy> It's a shame that this info isn't shown on packages.ubuntu.com
[21:49] <devD_> dabaR, np, I have an idea. trying google docs
[21:49] <tukeke> ubuntu 10.04 Alpha
[21:49] <samih> hello, need help for a problem with realtek audio
[21:49] <Flannel> tukeke: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid support/questions/etc, Thanks
[21:49] <adalal> Bookman: which firmware does your router have
[21:49] <Dr_Willis> tukeke:  see #ubuntu+1 for that
[21:50] <adalal> Bookman: and which hardware version is it?
[21:50] <yoshio_221> flannel should i attempt?
[21:50] <Bookman> adalal, 3.01 Harware C1
[21:50] <adalal> Bookman: could be a bug of some kind, you could report it. In the meantime, switch your wired machine's IP to something else, and then block it off, and see if this persists.
[21:50] <Umeaboy> It didn't work.
[21:51] <Bookman> adalal, I will give that a shot.  I have reported it via D-Link support.  Nothing back yet.
[21:51] <domjohnson> Merry Christmas, all
[21:51] <Bookman> adalal, what hardware/firmware is yours running?
[21:52] <Ookami> :D guys guys guys .. let's say i want to "locate" allllll the files that have the extinction of ".avi" .. what the command would be ?
[21:52] <Ookami> :D guys guys guys .. let's say i want to "locate" allllll the files that have the extinction of ".avi" .. what the command would be ?
[21:52] <nucc1> devD_: going from PDF to text doesn't usually yield good results
[21:52] <dabaR> Ookami: all files on the OS?
[21:52] <Slart> Ookami: man find is a good start
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> Ookami: 'locate .avi' or smiler.
[21:52] <nucc1> ah, if family is there, then that's all good
[21:53] <nucc1> err, wrong window.
[21:53] <Church> Ookami: find /path_where_to_search -iname "*.avi"
[21:53] <phillip> Hi, can anyone here help me with a dual head display issue
[21:53] <dabaR> Ookami: sorry, all files in your home dir, in all mounted drives, where exactly?
[21:53] <dabaR> Ookami: on the Internet...
[21:53] <devD_> nucc1, yes. I have found some online tools for conversion.
[21:53] <nucc1> phillip: ask, ask, ask
[21:53] <Izinucs> Would using wget to pull an iso off ubuntu's servers be faster than initiating it via Firefox?
[21:53] <Ookami> dabaR, lol,, no no .. in all my hardisks lets say
[21:53] <samih> anyone can help to solve a realtek sound problem?
[21:53] <phillip> nucc1, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8552280
[21:53] <Church> iname for case insensitive search, as some copies might have it in upper case
[21:54] <switch10_> Ookami: what Church said
[21:54] <nucc1> Izinucs: not really
[21:54] <scottj> Is there a program where you define a keystroke for an app, say firefox, and then when you press that keystroke it switches to firefox if it's running otherwise launches it?
[21:54] <Ookami> church, if i want to search the whole "Filesystem" thing
[21:54] <dabaR> Ookami: are they all mounted?
[21:54] <Guest31816> I have MEPIS installed on my desktop.  How would I download and install UBUNTU from the web without a cdrom or USB stick?  Can I download it and run the installation from MEPIS?
[21:54] <Izinucs> nucc1: k.. just thought it would remove some of the http overhead from FF
[21:54] <Bcool> Awesome
[21:54] <Ookami> dabaR, i think "OS" where i have "vista" isn't mounted
[21:54] <Church> Ookami: then /path_where_to_search would be /filesystem_mount_point ? :)
[21:54] <switch10_> scottj: system>prefs>keyboard shortcuts
[21:54] <nucc1> phillip: loading page. i'm on a 2.5G connection :p
[21:54] <Ookami> church, hehe ,, ^^ .. i'm not that good
[21:55] <switch10_> scottj: click on add on the bottom
[21:55] <Church>  / for search from root, /home for search in /home filesystem and alike ..
[21:55] <Bcool> Ok, so I've just upgraded my desktop to ubuntu 9.10
[21:55] <Flannel> Guest31816: there's a number of ways listed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation Specifically: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux
[21:55] <Bcool> internet is really bad on it.
[21:55] <Ookami> Church, ok gimme a second ^^
[21:55] <adante> hi guys
[21:55] <adante> how do i report bugs?
[21:55] <Bcool> google loads up, but nothing else
[21:56] <switch10_> Ookami: it is the best way..
[21:56] <Bcool> well, I can actually load other pages on links
[21:56] <nucc1> phillip: ha, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[21:56] <phillip> 9.04
[21:56] <Bookman> adalal, Indeed it is a bug.  I just found D-Link forums.  Thanks for your help.  I guess you are lucky if yours is working fine!
[21:56] <phillip> I have installed some updated mesa packages
[21:56] <nucc1> Izinucs: it makes no difference. use firefox since its more convenient
[21:56] <phillip> that didn;t do much
[21:56] <adalal> Bookman: not really, I have troubles of my own, such as network file transfers
[21:56] <Guest31816> Thanks, Flannel.  I'm gone to research it.
[21:57] <Bookman> adalal, ah, what kind of transfers?  No problems with anything else here.
[21:57] <adalal> Bookman: they're rather slow, and I'm planning on getting the 50Mbit/s connection available.
[21:57] <nucc1> phillip: you know what video card you got? you shouldn't be messing with xorg.conf for dualhead
[21:57] <nucc1> phillip: not with the modern ubuntus :)
[21:58] <adalal> Bookman: Simple file transfers over the network are at 2.4MB/s tops, which is about 20Mbit/s
[21:58] <phillip> I have just used the display gui with my latest attempt
[21:58] <Bcool> Anyone have an idea on how to fix the net on my desktop?
[21:58] <Bookman> adalal, I've never clocked mine.  I backup 3 machines locally and one over the internet with no issues, but that is overnight, unattended.
[21:58] <phillip> I did a dpkg-reconfigure of xserver
[21:58] <adalal> Bookman: I'm going to update the firmware and see if it's worth getting the 50Mbit/s connection available here
[21:58] <nucc1> phillip: prefix your messages with my nick. just type the first few letters, then press tab. what video card have you got?
[21:58] <Izinucs> nucc1: perhaps you'll know the answer to this.. once downloaded can I mount the live cd  iso in my running version of ubuntu to install on some newly created partitions?
[21:58] <Ookami> Switch10, indeed it was ^^ .. it worked great .. i have another question
[21:58] <paul___> bcool: fix as in how?
[21:58] <adalal> Bookman: fair enough I suppose.
[21:59] <Bcool> nothing loads
[21:59] <nucc1> Izinucs: nope :) you gotta burn it on a CD or USB disk
[21:59] <Bcool> or loads very slowly
[21:59] <Bcool> I can ping websites
[21:59] <Bcool> but the pings are rather slow themselves
[21:59] <Izinucs> nucc1: dvd in this case.. the alpha version of kubuntu is dvd only right now. :(
[21:59] <Bcool> I didn't have this problem in 9.04
[21:59] <paul___> bcool: torrents running in your house?
[21:59] <switch10_> Ookami: ask away..
[21:59] <Bcool> no
[22:00] <phillip> nucc1: http://pastie.org/755973
[22:00] <Flannel> Izinucs: Just grab the alternate CD (of Ubuntu), install CLI-only, then install Kubuntu overtop
[22:00] <Bcool> I'm the only one online right now
[22:00] <nucc1> Izinucs: don't change much. gotta burn it on a disc.
[22:00] <Bcool> Currently on my netbook.
[22:00] <Bcool> cause I can't connect to chat on my desktop
[22:00] <Ookami> switch10, Church, .. umm .. once upon a time ,, lol ,, i used a "find" command .. then was asked to specify the directory to be "searched" after i hit enter .. do you know what was that ?? :)
[22:00] <paul___> bcool: how far away from the access point
[22:00] <Bcool> I'm about 30 feet, but it's on a wire
[22:00] <paul___> bcool: nvm
[22:00] <Ookami> which command is it *
[22:01] <shazam> IdleOne, you mind if I test my dcc file send by sending you a text file?
[22:01] <paul___> bcool: did you upgrade from 9.04 -> .10?
[22:01] <Bcool> yes
[22:01] <switch10_> Ookami: you can still use find: find . -name *.iso
[22:01] <Church> Ookami: i'm guessing you can scroll back irc log? %)
[22:01] <switch10_> Ookami: for example
[22:01] <nucc1> phillip: you should delete your xorg.conf, and re-run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[22:01] <tarnap> mhh
[22:01] <nucc1> phillip: then login, and use the GUI to configure the dualhead.
[22:01] <Izinucs> Flannel: that's true.. and although I could run the commands for pure kde after .. well I was hoping for a cleaner method.. downloading now and speed is varying between 1.5MB/sec to 300 KB/sec  and half way done.. guess I'll put it on my usb stick. :)
[22:01] <Iowan> Bcool: IPv6 has a reputation of causing slow, but 9.04 had it, too
[22:02] <tarnap> anyone _not_ celebrating xmas?
[22:02] <tarnap> ah... looks like
[22:02] <tarnap> i have a question
[22:02] <tarnap> it's quite... silly
[22:02] <Stylee> hello I installed xubuntu on a celeron 566Mhz with 400 and something mb ram and when I try to boot the kernel it says: the initrd is too big... any idea how to fix it?
[22:02] <tarnap> i installed a few months ago 9.04 on a 1.5 GB partition
[22:02] <Flannel> Izinucs: I was going to say, if you need it, I'll bring you one :)
[22:02] <tarnap> so / is a 1.5 GB partition
[22:02] <nucc1> Izinucs: to put it on the usb disk, you must use "startup disk creator". remember that.
[22:02] <Ookami> Chruch, i didn't understand you ..
[22:02] <paul___> yes tarnap
[22:02] <tarnap> on update it says that there's not enough diskspace
[22:02] <phillip> nucc1: Done. Restarting X now
[22:02] <Izinucs> Flannel: yea.. I heard there are extras!
[22:02] <paul___> well
[22:03] <tarnap> will that happen as well if i try installing it from cd?
[22:03] <paul___> ubuntu minimum requirement is 4 gig...
[22:03] <Ookami> switch10, my question was ,, there's a way to "spicify the directory .. after you run the find command ,, do you know how to do it .. what's the command ? ?
[22:03] <switch10_> tarnap: you need to allow a little more space than 1.5g
[22:03] <tarnap> or will then 1.5 GB be enough?
[22:03] <Izinucs> nucc1: yep.. no problem there.. I actually have kubuntu 9.10 on a usb.. just looking to play with the next alpha
[22:03] <tarnap> so i have to change the size of the partition
[22:03] <Bcool> should I download the ubuntu 9.10 cd and try that?
[22:03] <switch10_> tarnap: yup live cd gparted
[22:03] <Bcool> do it without an upgrade?
[22:03] <Church> Ookami: rather i don't understand your 2nd question if my answer about scrolling irc log up till you find what i told before isn't right :)
[22:04] <tarnap> switch10_: doesn't boot... i have no internal cd drive
[22:04] <tarnap> ^^
[22:04] <preecher> ive had ubuntu on 9.04 on all my laptops for quite awhile and upgraded in oct to 9.10 and everything ws fine--then a few days ago for no reason i decided to reinstall 9.10 on one of the laptops from a cd and i kept getting a error 18 and ended up having to manually do the partitions--my question is did something change?
[22:04] <tarnap> it's kind of a htpc
[22:04] <Ookami> Chruch, ^^ .. no problem dude .. try to read it one more time ,, my question was ,, there's a way to "specify the directory .. after you run the find command ,, do you know how to do it .. what's the command ? ?
[22:04] <tarnap> but i found a way to hack around
[22:04] <ovnandan> Well this time I have a question, I am using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS alongside with Windows XP, now can I change it to totall ubuntu without any data loss?
[22:05] <tarnap> so... i'll backup the 2TB movies and reinstall from scratch
[22:05] <gil> hey
[22:05] <ovnandan> ﻿I am using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS alongside with Windows XP, now can I change it to totall ubuntu without any data loss?
[22:05] <tarnap> shouldn't be bigger troubble :D
[22:05] <phillip> nicc1: back
[22:05] <switch10_> Ookami: find </home/username/> -name *.iso
[22:05] <switch10_> Ookami: without the <>
[22:05] <Church> Ookami: "after you run find command" ? as in lot of search results which you want to narrow down?
[22:05] <phillip> nicc1: Now have mirrored displays
[22:05] <Izinucs> ovnandan: you could simply delete the xp partition and reformat it for ext3 to use as a data drive
[22:05] <ovnandan> any body can help on: ﻿I am using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS alongside with Windows XP, now can I change it to totall ubuntu without any data loss?
[22:06] <edhel231> I have a question regarding a weird thing happening to my friend, regarding the wired network
[22:06] <nucc1> phillip: System > Preferences > Display
[22:06] <gil> anyone knows if there`s an option to install libgtk 2.18 by force?
[22:06] <phillip> nucc1: yup
[22:06] <Church> Ookami: then just find /path_where_to_search -iname "*.avi" | more    to page results, or same just with | grep "somesearchtext" to narrow those
[22:06] <gil> can you help me?
[22:06] <ovnandan> lzinucs: ok thanks
[22:06] <Iowan> edhel231:  elaborate
[22:06] <devD_> whenever I export a odt document to pdf, the pdf shows unknown name as title.
[22:06] <edhel231> momentarily she doesn't have internet
[22:06] <Umeaboy> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605401
[22:06] <nucc1> phillip: uncheck the mirror button.
[22:06] <Umeaboy> Anyone care to vote for this?
[22:06] <edhel231> let me think how to begin
[22:06] <Ookami> Church, see ,, just like the "sudo" command ,, after you hit enter ,, you'll be asked to inter password ,, now, the same concept ,, but in a find command .. after you hit enter .. you'll be asked to enter the "directory" to search in
[22:07] <edhel231> up to now
[22:07] <nucc1> ovnandan: copy your xp data to an external drive first
[22:07] <phillip> nucc1: Yeah I have my desired setup done
[22:07] <phillip> I'
[22:07] <switch10_> ovnandan: yeah you can use gparted to erase your windows partition, then resize your ubuntu partition
[22:07] <Izinucs> ovnandan: the other method would be to use clonezilla or partimage to save your partitions in ubuntu.. redo the entire harddrive and then restore the saved partitions one at a time.. /home being last so you can then use gparted to make it take the remaining part of the drive.
[22:07] <phillip> nucc1: I'll apply and relogin
[22:07] <gil> wooow!!!!!
[22:07] <edhel231> eth0 was nonexistent unless rebooting to winXP, then booting back to linux mint (equivalent ubuntu 9.04)
[22:07] <rhett> I have jaunty here, and there is no event.d or inittab
[22:07] <gil> can anyone help me please?
[22:07] <Church> Ookami: no. directory where to search is mandatory parameter for find. rerun command with other dir for search in other location
[22:07] <nucc1> phillip: you don't need to relogin
[22:07] <subone> For each file of movie type i added a command something like `sudo nice -20...` but now the "open with" dialog only shows `sudo`. How can I recover the entire command string so that I can store it in a script? is this stored in gconf or something?
[22:07] <rhett> how do i respawn a service?
[22:08] <grkblood13> how do i convert mkv to dvd?
[22:08] <Church> Ookami: or parse find results with mentioned grep for example
[22:08] <dabaR> rhett: you mean restart it?
[22:08] <nucc1> rhett: sudo service_name restart
[22:08] <phillip> nucc1: Different sized monitors require a virtual display to be configured
[22:08] <Iowan> gil: help with what?
[22:08] <nucc1> rhett: sudo service service_name restart
[22:08] <rhett> dabaR, no, I want to have init run a service and respawn
[22:08] <nucc1> nucc1: it gave you that message?
[22:08] <rhett> if i put it in rc.d, it only goes once
[22:08] <edhel231> Iowan: I really do not know how to begin, and trying the usual things were to no result
[22:08] <rhett> i used to have inittab
[22:08] <rhett> and event.d
[22:09] <Ookami> Church, i don't remember .. someone here told me a command ,, and i lost it .. but it has find and "something" but not a directory ,, after i hit enter ,, a new line come up with ">" asking me to specify where to search .. got me ?? .. ^^
[22:09] <bishop> hohoho
[22:09] <gil> im trying to install swiftfox on jaunty, is there an option to install libgtk 2.18 by force?
[22:09] <Iowan> edhel231:  Unfortunately, that makes it a bit hard to help ;)
[22:09] <gil> hehe...
[22:09] <Izinucs> gil: swiftfox is debians version of firefox.. I think.. why bother?
[22:09] <nucc1> gil: that won't be a wise move.
[22:09] <Church> Ookami: dunno. search directory is first parameter for find command as i recall
[22:09] <edhel231> Iowan: ok, let me think
[22:10] <Dr_Willis> Ookami:  that was bash continuweing the command. You either got a quote or some other character wrong that made bash think you were entering more info
[22:10] <Church> oh. that is possible aswell
[22:10]  * Church guesses that you accidentaly typed "\" at the end instead of enter :)
[22:10] <edhel231> Iowan: so, eth0 does not appear in the interface list (ifconfig)
[22:10] <microhaxo> which is better: when laptop lid is closed: suspend or hibernate?
[22:10] <gil> you wrong
[22:10] <edhel231> Iowan: interestingly enough, rebooting to winXP then rebooting back to Linux seemed to help
[22:10] <Dr_Willis> suspend goes to ram..   hibernate goes to swap = no power used.
[22:10] <Church> "\" is special character meaning "ignore character what's next"
[22:10] <switch10_> microhaxo: I just shut the screen off
[22:10] <linked_> hi, i tried upgrading to lucid and my desktop won't boot, now i'm in livecd- how do i downgrade to karmic?
[22:11] <gil> there are many people who have done such a thing
[22:11] <tukeke> ok jeny
[22:11] <Iowan> edhel231:  check ifconfig -a to list all interfaces - active or not
[22:11] <edhel231> Iowan: she is using linux mint 7 (ubuntu 9.04)
[22:11] <gianca> ciaooo e tanti auguri a tutti
[22:11] <Ookami> Dr_Willis,Church ,, sorry guys ^^ .. it just happend then .. and now i lost the file where i saved it .. anyhow .. next question ^^ :) .. what dose < | grep > do exactly ? ? ?
[22:11] <nucc1> gil: what version of ubuntu?
[22:12] <matt2254> matt2254: test
[22:12] <nucc1> gil: what version of GNOME rather?
[22:12] <Iowan> edhel231:  I saw similar problem on forum earlier - only via router and switch
[22:12] <edhel231> Iowan: a bit of a problem here, she is not online, I am talking on the phone with her
[22:12] <edhel231> Iowan: she is via PPPoE
[22:12] <edhel231> Iowan: ok, trying ifconfig eth0 up
[22:12] <gil> i dont really understand in those things but i use jaunty
[22:12] <Church> Ookami: "|" between commands pass(pipes) output of one to another. "grep" searches lines from files or input to match specific search pattern
[22:12] <alexanderjameslo> hello!
[22:12] <ganymede> hi, i'm trying to install binary nvidia drivers for my geforce 2 ultra. the official howto (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia) doesn't mention 9.10, the version i am using. i tried installing nvidia-glx-71 but i got: "Package nvidia-glx-71 is not available, but is referred to by another package." the 96 series is the oldest that is avilable in the repos it seems but i don't think it supports my card
[22:12] <alexanderjameslo> anyone willing to help a newbie?
[22:12] <Bcool> hmm, I'm just going to re-install 9.04
[22:13] <baytes> alexanderjameslo, whats the issue
[22:13] <alexanderjameslo> anyone know how to put videos on an ipod video? :S
[22:13] <subone> Where are the "Open With..." commands stored so i can view them?
[22:13] <alexanderjameslo> my gtkpod isnt working
[22:13] <nucc1> ganymede: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[22:13] <Church> Ookami: find /path_where_to_search -iname "*.avi" | grep somesearchstring would return .avi and .AVI files where directory or file name contains somesearchstring
[22:13] <wgrant> ganymede: Yeah, that's why proprietary drivers are awesome :(
[22:13] <Dr_Willis> Ookami:  there are books written on regular experssions and using grep/awk/sed :) grep searches for a pattern.. thats the 'short'  story
[22:13] <switch10_> alexanderjameslo: pretty sure you have to use windows inside if a virtual machine for that...
[22:13] <Church> (from those in /path_where_to_search directory/filesystem)
[22:13] <alexanderjameslo> drat
[22:14] <ganymede> nucc1, that simply shows that there are no hardware drivers in use on this system and blank white areas
[22:14] <baytes> alexanderjameslo, are you trying to convert a video and put it on your ipod your just trying to transfer a video thats already converted?
[22:14] <tukeke> Merry Christmas to all
[22:14] <edhel231> Iowan: ifconfig eth0 up: unknown host
[22:14] <linked_> is there a way to downgrade from 10.04 to 9.10? i'm in livecd, and my desktop won't boot, i think because of X/driver issues
[22:14] <alexanderjameslo> transfer pre converted video
[22:14] <tukeke> Merry Christmas to all
[22:14] <switch10_> alexanderjameslo: its pretty easy to do...
[22:14] <Ookami> Church, hmm .. so what would the "typical" example for me to use | grep .. :) i'm sorry to bother with this hut i'm trying to understand
[22:14] <alexanderjameslo> how? :S
[22:14] <wgrant> ganymede: GeForce 2 has not had 3D support since Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, since nvidia has not updated the drivers.
[22:14] <wgrant> linked_: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid support. But no, downgrades are not supported.
[22:14] <edhel231> Iowan: trying ifconfig eth0 up a few minutes ago yielded no output, but network still not functional
[22:14] <switch10_> !virtualbox
[22:14] <Bcool> seems like ubuntu was slowing down the internet on all machines
[22:15] <gil> nucc1: do you know how to help me?
[22:15] <rhett> I'm trying to install daemontools
[22:15] <nucc1> linked_: how does it behave?
[22:15] <Ookami> Church, ok ,, so find /home -iname "*.avi" | grep EZTV ,, would locate all the avi files that contain EZTV in there name ,, is that right ? ?
[22:15] <alexanderjameslo> switch_10:, how do i do it if it's so easy? :P
[22:15] <Bcool> just shut down my computer and now everything is way faster.
[22:15] <rhett> i need to have init respawn /command/svscanboot
[22:15] <Church> in file name .. or in dir name.
[22:15] <nucc1> gil: is the geforce ultra 2 a legacy card, or a modern card?
[22:15] <baytes> alexanderjameslo, http://thinliquidfilm.org/, or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoTransferring
[22:15] <switch10_> alexanderjameslo: get the non free version of virtual box, and install xp on it
[22:15] <tukeke> Merry Christmas to all
[22:15] <Iowan> edhel231:  Thinking - my brain works even slower than my typing
[22:15] <ganymede> wgrant, okay, thanks for that information... =(
[22:15] <linked_> nucc1, starts grub, seems to launch X, doesn't finish launching X, black screen, no response to anything, can't ssh in
[22:15] <edhel231> Iowan: wait, misunderstanding
[22:15] <Church> as grep returns "lines" matching
[22:15] <edhel231> Iowan: she typed ifconfig eth0-up or something like this
[22:16] <wgrant> ganymede: There is open source 3D support in development, but it's an awful lot of work.
[22:16] <switch10_> alexanderjameslo: !virtualbox
[22:16] <Ookami> Cherch, eee ,, i don't get it :((
[22:16] <baytes> alexanderjameslo, also this will help as well http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9266
[22:16] <gil> huh..?
[22:16] <Umeaboy> Can someone PLEASE help me? I'm getting sick of this.
[22:16] <edhel231> Iowan: I'm thinking too
[22:16] <Umeaboy> I have done the right instructions.
[22:16] <baytes> Umeaboy, gotta be more specific than that
[22:16] <Ookami> Church, eeeh ,, i don't get it :(
[22:16] <nucc1> linked_ that will be a problem with something other than x, else ssh will work, assuming it is installed and network is up
[22:16] <Umeaboy> baytes: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-mplayer-and-multimedia-codecs-libdvdcss2w32codecsw64codecs-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html
[22:16] <Umeaboy> It still doesn't work.
[22:16] <avar> How do I rename the mointpoint in Ubuntu for /media stuff? E.g. /media/SOME-AUTOGENERATED-STUFF to /media/iPod ?
[22:16] <talonstriker> hi all, I'd like update my wireless drivers without upgrading the whole OS
[22:17] <subone> nvm i think i found it
[22:17] <nucc1> Umeaboy: help you do what?
[22:17] <Iowan> edhel231:  Between the two of us, we should come up with something dangerous
[22:17] <Dr_Willis> Umeaboy:  what exactly dosent work......
[22:17] <ganymede> wgrant, well, i guess not being able to run compiz and a fancy cairo-dock on a 2001 computer isn't the most unexpected disappointment in the world
[22:17] <platzhirsch> Hey, I guess I installed my card reader correctly on my notebook (TP T400) and now I want to use it. Should it detect the card automatically or do I have ti mount it?
[22:17] <Church> Ookami: grep "EZTV" will return both /asdf/EZTV-movie/mov.avi and /asdf/movie2/EZTV.avi :)
[22:17] <talonstriker> how do I do that?
[22:17] <alexanderjameslo> yeah but the thing is. gtkpod doesn't load my ipod
[22:17] <Umeaboy> nucc1: Playing wmv/wma-files.
[22:17] <Dr_Willis> Umeaboy:  i normally install mplayer & vlc, enable medibuntu. install the codec packs.. and i can play most anything.
[22:17] <baytes> Umeaboy, what are you tring to do exactly, just install mplayer (but for what purpose? watch avi, mpg, mpeg, mp4 movies? videos?)
[22:17] <Ookami> church, ooooooooooooooooh ^^
[22:17] <Umeaboy> Dr_Willis:^^
[22:17] <Seven_Six_Two> Umeaboy, what step did you get an error on?
[22:17] <linked_> nucc1, ok, so if i can't revert, and i can't boot in, i'd rather just format. how can i mount my encripted home directory? the disk is mounted at /mnt/disk
[22:17] <Richard_Simmons> Is there perhaps some way to allow all flash to load..but force it to load in low quality mode?
[22:17] <Ookami> Church ,, alright alright :) .. thank you so much ^^
[22:17] <Dr_Willis> Umeaboy:  its possible whatever codec the wmv/wma is using  isent in the codec pack.  One of the many reasions i avoide wma/wmv
[22:17] <edhel231> Iowan: nm-applet shows 'device not managed' but her kernel driver is loaded.
[22:18] <baytes> alexanderjameslo, there are other alternatives to gtkpod
[22:18] <Umeaboy> Seven_Six_Two: After completed the instructions.
[22:18] <alexanderjameslo> such as?
[22:18] <Umeaboy> Including installing codecs.
[22:18] <wgrant> ganymede: It would be fine if the drivers were open source.
[22:18] <baytes> alexanderjameslo, the links i posted list them
[22:18] <alexanderjameslo> floola stopped working since 9.0.2
[22:18] <nucc1> linked_: is it encrypted with ubuntu's install time thingy? you'll have to google that...
[22:18] <Iowan> edhel231:  Device may be configured in /etc/network/interfaces
[22:18] <linked_> nucc1, thanks
[22:18] <nucc1> Umeaboy: you need to install w32codecs and many of the gstreamer plugins
[22:18] <Church> Ookami: if you want to search only files, not directories containing EZTV and with avi extention, then simplier to incorporate all in find command. find /searchpath -type f -iname "*eztv*.avi"
[22:19] <bishop> just stopped by...merry 2 all...
[22:19] <baytes> Umeaboy, you could try vlc instead of mplayer
[22:19] <alexanderjameslo> does thinliquid film let me put them in my ipod though?
[22:19] <Seven_Six_Two> Umeaboy, you got an error on the apt:// line?
[22:19] <Umeaboy> nucc1: Not for 64-bits.
[22:19] <gil> nucc1: i asked a wrong question..... the question is how to force install libgtk2.18
[22:19] <Ookami> Church, Very very good .. thanks man ^^
[22:19] <edhel231> Iowan: yes, she added allow-hotplug eth0 and iface eth0 inet dhcp
[22:19] <baytes> alexanderjameslo, yes, thats why its on those pages
[22:19] <bastidrazor> Umeaboy: aren't you using arch and not ubuntu?
[22:19] <edhel231> Iowan: should add auto eth0?
[22:19] <Church> -type f means search only for files, -type d for directories
[22:19] <Dr_Willis> Umeaboy:  huh? whats niot for 64bits? i use vlc on 64bit disrtos all the time.
[22:19] <Umeaboy> bastidrazor: Nope.
[22:19] <baytes> alexanderjameslo, you'll have to read through them instead of just skimming, they will help you get it up and running
[22:19] <nucc1> gil: which version of ubuntu are you using? it might be a dangerous thing to do.
[22:19] <alexanderjameslo> mhm
[22:20] <Umeaboy> Dr_Willis: w32codecs isn't for 64-bits.
[22:20] <Iowan> edhel231:  Dunno - I'm not really familiar w/ hotplut option
[22:20] <gil> 9.04 jaunty
[22:20] <Iowan> edhel231:  hotplug*
[22:20] <alexanderjameslo> BAH! liquid film is a tarball. i cant install tarballs for i have a lack of knowledge D:
[22:20] <Umeaboy> I have installed w64codecs from medibuntu according to the instructions on that page.
[22:20] <Umeaboy> It still doesn't help.
[22:20] <nucc1> Umeaboy: then w64codecs :d
[22:20] <nucc1> err :p
[22:20] <gil> nucc1: 9.04 jaunty
[22:21] <Richard_Simmons> Fffffffffffffffffffff. 5-15 different bits of flash on a single page make firefox just quit working.... Dx
[22:21] <Ookami> Church ,, if i want to search the "whole File system"
[22:21] <Seven_Six_Two> alexanderjameslo, tarballs are like zips. you have to extract them, then follow the (usually) good instructions in the INSTALL or README
[22:21] <Ookami> the one that contains "/home"
[22:21] <Ookami> what would it be in a command ?
[22:21] <nucc1> gil, 9.04 should be with libgtk-2.16? you could get the deb from packages.ubuntu.com
[22:21] <baytes> alexanderjameslo, its easy, download it, then unzip it, by opening a terminal and typing tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz, then cd folderame, then ./configure, then type make, then sudo make install
[22:21] <Ookami> just "/" ? ^^
[22:21] <Umeaboy> nucc1: I installed that already with thoose instructions!!!!!!!
[22:22] <gil> but i need 2.18
[22:22] <nucc1> gil, the deb of the version you want, and then install that deb. but it might make your system unstable
[22:22] <baytes> umeaboy, what other reason are you trying to install the codes besides watching videos? (just curious becuase you could install vlc and it should auto install the rest of the codecs automaticly)
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> Umeaboy:  medibuntu has a w64codecs pack that is used on 64bit disrtos.......
[22:22] <nucc1> Umeaboy: i'm on a 32 bit system, so can't say, but WMA plays fine on my pc, or so i think :p
[22:22] <Church> Ookami: yes. but if you run it under your user you might run into some directories where you have no permission to look into so find might spawn lot of erros
[22:22] <switch10_> Ookami: /
[22:23] <Church> eg. /root and alike directories
[22:23] <nucc1> baytes: Umeaboy wants to be able to play wma files, which vlc and mplayer should do IMHO, if w32codecs (w64codecs) is installed.
[22:23] <Umeaboy> It's MUCH easier to play theese kinds of songs in Mandriva.
[22:23] <nucc1> Umeaboy: it doesn't play with rhythmbox?
[22:23] <Umeaboy> It has seperate codecs.
[22:23] <inclement> Gnome sees and correctly uses my two monitors, but when I login with xmonad as my wm the second just clones the first. Is there some gnome config I can export to xmonad to make it recognise the second monitor, or must I do it entirely separately?
[22:23] <edhel231> Iowan: I am vaguely familiar with /etc/network/interfaces, how should she configure it?
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> Umeaboy:  Package: w64codecs [non-free/libs]  This package contains the "Win32" codec binaries for the x86_64 architectures, required for the decompression of video formats that have no open source alternative.
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> http://packages.medibuntu.org/karmic/w64codecs.html
[22:23] <Umeaboy> nucc1: Nope. I'm being asked to install a codec that can't be found.
[22:24] <baytes> umeaboy, nucc1, yes both will play wma files onces installed.
[22:24] <Dr_Willis> apt://w64codecs/
[22:24] <baytes> umeaboy, have you googled the codec name and then , ubuntu ?
[22:24] <Umeaboy> It IS installed!!!!!!!!!!
[22:24] <salvadorfl> hello people i have a question, i need a program to burn dual layer DVD
[22:24] <nucc1> Umeaboy: : ah, mine says that too, but i just assume the files will play anywa
[22:24] <Iowan> edhel231:  Dunno if it'll help, but try commenting out the hotplug, and add auto eth0... or try commenting out the entire def and let NM handle it
[22:24] <Umeaboy> Look what I've written in this channel the past twenty minutes!!!!!
[22:24] <nucc1> Umeaboy: the WMA's play anyway
[22:25] <zleap> salvadorfl, won;t the one that comes in ubuntu do that
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> Umeaboy:   You just said you coudelt install w32codecs because it wasent for 64bits. i corrected you.. good luck.
[22:25] <ll_r> hello
[22:25]  * Dr_Willis goes back to sleep
[22:25] <ll_r> i have a question
[22:25] <nucc1> Umeaboy: my rhythmbox says that message, but it still plays the files.
[22:25] <edhel231> Iowan: initially there were no eth0 lines
[22:25] <salvadorfl> u mean k3b?
[22:25] <edhel231> Iowan: so I'll go with the auto eth0
[22:25] <Umeaboy> nucc1: Well, mine didn't find any decoder.
[22:25] <nucc1> salvadorfl: brasero will do.
[22:25] <edhel231> Iowan: no internet
[22:26] <Umeaboy> http://www.geting.se/viewimage.php?image=210686-WMA.png#
[22:26] <Umeaboy> Sorry that it's in Swedish.
[22:26] <nucc1> Umeaboy: make sure you have ffmpeg installed too, gstreamer plugins ugly and multiverse and bad.
[22:26] <Umeaboy> It states clearly thou that it couldn't be found.
[22:26] <rhett> i can't find upstart
[22:26] <rhett> in jaunty
[22:26] <Umeaboy> nucc1: Done that to.
[22:26] <edhel231> Iowan: some brainstorming
[22:27] <ll_r> my network connection through nm-applet   network manager starts after skype, firefox , msn etc.. leading to no connection errors . is there a way to start the connection before all the following applications and wait for the connection to be on or off?
[22:27] <Iowan> edhel231:  Hmmm... comment out everything except two lines defining "lo"?
[22:27] <duffydack> Brasero, yet again fails me... now it sees it cant even burn vob/ifo to a dvd-video compliant disc.. junk.  k3b it is, still.
[22:27] <nucc1> Umeaboy: hmmm, you're on ubuntu 9.10? and you have the medibuntu repository added?
[22:27] <baytes> Umeaboy, question have you uncommented out the other two sets of repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list then updated before trying to find the codec your missing?
[22:27] <blakkheim> ll_r: install wicd and use it instead of nm applet
[22:27] <edhel231> Iowan: that was the initial not-working setup
[22:27] <Umeaboy> nucc1: Yes.
[22:27] <ll_r> blakkheim, will this solve the problem?
[22:27] <blakkheim> ll_r: most likely yes
[22:27] <Umeaboy> I added it according to thoose instructions on that page.
[22:27] <salvadorfl> just select  "burn image" icon  and is going to detect it by it self?
[22:27] <ll_r> blakkheim, does it have a gui?
[22:28] <edhel231> Iowan: she had the same problem a few months ago, typed a few commands and got it working
[22:28] <blakkheim> ll_r: it has a gtk client and an ncurses client
[22:28] <ll_r> ok thx
[22:28] <Iowan> edhel231:  Which commands? ;)
[22:28] <Umeaboy> baytes: I haven't manually touched the source-list ina while sNO.
[22:28] <baytes> Umeaboy, open up /etc/apt/sources.list and near the bottom there are two sets of repo's that are commented out with a # remove the # and then save and sudo apt-get update then try it agian
[22:28] <Umeaboy> so NO
[22:28] <edhel231> Iowan: she cannot remember
[22:28] <nucc1> Umeaboy: install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll too
[22:28] <Umeaboy> Huh? I'll check.
[22:29] <edhel231> Iowan: I just asked and the commands were kind of short and referring only to the interfaces
[22:29] <RandomizeR> can anyone help me add an unsupported resolution to my xserver?
[22:29] <edhel231> Iowan: but she cannot remember
[22:30] <Iowan> edhel231:  Probably not "sudo dhclient eth0"?
[22:30] <nucc1> RandomizeR: how can an unsupported resolution be useful?
[22:30] <RandomizeR> i have nvidia 9600 with a viewsonic LCD, but for some reason the EDID of the monitor can't be read, so i don't have the recommended resolution
[22:30] <edhel231> Iowan: let's see
[22:30] <Dr_Willis> RandomizeR:  you have installed the nvidia drivers?
[22:31] <nucc1> RandomizeR: what resolution do you think the monitor supports?
[22:31] <RandomizeR> nucc1, it's the correct resolution for my LCD, but the EDID can't be read correctly so it's not showing up as a supporeted resolution
[22:31] <RandomizeR> 1280x1024
[22:31] <Dr_Willis> RandomizeR:  ive noticed on some of my nvidia machines. they wont get the right res ultill i get the drivers installed.
[22:31] <phix> :D
[22:31] <RandomizeR> i got the restricted drivers and it still didn't work
[22:31] <Ookami> Church,Dr_Willis .. a minute plz  ... < find ~ -iname "*SearchTerm*" -print > ... what would that do ? .. and what's the directory
[22:31] <edhel231> Iowan: nope
[22:31] <edhel231> Iowan: thanks for the help thus far
[22:31] <aPpYe> is there any way to disable a sentelic touchpad for a couple seconds after keypresses similar to how one would on a synaptics pad with syndaemon?
[22:31] <nucc1> RandomizeR: yea, check what dr_willis says, use NVidia's display config utility to try
[22:32] <RandomizeR> i'm trying to add it manually, but that doesn't work either, even xrandr gives me an error message when i try to change into that resolution
[22:32] <phix> RandomizeR are you prng?
[22:32] <Iowan> edhel231:  'fraid not... Hmmm again
[22:32] <RandomizeR> prng?
[22:32] <RandomizeR> Dr_Willis, i have the latest restricted drivers
[22:32] <phix> psudeo-random number generator
[22:32] <Church> -print is by default, no need to use it. ">" redirects output, just like "|" does. just it's used to redirect/save output in some file instead of passing to other command
[22:33] <nucc1> phix: where did that prng stuff come from ? :p
[22:33] <phix> Church: correct
[22:33] <phix> nucc1: his nick
[22:33] <RandomizeR> phix, well, not particularly, no :-D
[22:33] <nucc1> phix: ha, he he. OK.
[22:33] <RandomizeR> just your average randomizer
[22:33] <Church> Ookami: oh. or > is just to highlight, not in actual command? then ~ is your home directory shortname
[22:33] <phix> nucc1: lets high five
[22:33] <phix> RandomizeR: fair enough :)
[22:33] <RandomizeR> :)
[22:34] <Iowan> edhel231:  Probably won't help, "lshw -C network" - verify eth0 is in use
[22:34] <nucc1> phix: remind me how that is done :d
[22:34] <phix> and I fold tripple 8s :/
[22:34] <Ookami> Church, Thanks ^^ .. where do you find that on the keybrored .. my home directory shortname :) ?
[22:34] <Dr_Willis> RandomizeR:  useing dvi or vga connection? If you can use DVI.
[22:34] <RandomizeR> so, anyone know of a solution to my problem? this is my 3rd night in a row trying to work this out :(
[22:34] <Iowan> edhel231:  check ifconfig -a to list all interfaces - active or not
[22:34] <RandomizeR> well, i'm suspecting that might have something to do with it
[22:34] <edhel231> Iowan: tried that, she had eth0, eth1 (wireless), lo
[22:34] <Church> Ookami: you just wrote it :P it's "~"
[22:34] <nucc1> meanwhile, RandomizeR, i wonder whether the modern xorg has much support for manual config though. haven't had to do that in a few years :p
[22:34] <RandomizeR> my card outputs DVI, but the LCD is VGA
[22:34]  * phix raises his hand with palm facing away from him and moves to towards nucc1 
[22:35] <RandomizeR> so i'm connecting through an adapter
[22:35] <sixtila> anyone used debian - how to mount a ntfs volume
[22:35] <phix> RandomizeR: what are you trying to do?
[22:35] <Dr_Willis> sixtila:  use ntfs-3g tool.. same in most disrtos. :)
[22:35] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs | sixtila
[22:35] <Church> find ~ means search in your homedir. just like cd ~ means go to homedirectory of your user
[22:35]  * nucc1 raises his hand and heads for phix
[22:35] <RandomizeR> phix, just set the display to the right resolution for my LCD
[22:35] <phix> sixtila: yeah, use the mount command, solved
[22:35] <phix> nucc1: :D
[22:35] <RandomizeR> but the graphics driver can't detect the right resolutions
[22:36] <RandomizeR> it detects _some_ resolutions, high ones, but not the right ones
[22:36] <Ookami> Church, loool ,, i copied "it" lol ,, where is it .. shift and .. what :D .. lol ?
[22:36] <RandomizeR> it works on windows though :(
[22:36] <Iowan> edhel231:  I s'pose you tried unplugging and replugging both ends of cable
[22:36] <nucc1> phix: i merely raised my hand, you have no idea if it was a knuckle sandwich I was making to deliver :d
[22:36] <Church> on my keyboard ~ is in leftmost upper corner of alphanumeric keys
[22:36] <RandomizeR> but i'm trying to move back to linux for good
[22:36] <Church> just below the F1 key
[22:37] <edhel231> Iowan: she tried that every time we tried something
[22:37] <Ookami> church, GOTCHA :D ~~~
[22:37] <sixtila> su
[22:37] <edhel231> Iowan: she is connected directly to the internet
[22:37] <Ookami> Church, ,, thanks for everything .. really deeply appreciated ^^ ..
[22:37] <Iowan> edhel231:  maybe it wore out from all the plugging :)
[22:37] <edhel231> Iowan: maybe :)
[22:38] <Iowan> edhel231:  no router/modem?
[22:38] <Church> Ookami: read some shell / command line HOWTO .. i find using command line often more faster/productive then GUI .. at least for file operations
[22:38] <edhel231> Iowan: nope
[22:38] <RandomizeR> nucc1, i don't know how the new system for xorg's configuration works, i used to be able to do almost anything with the old settings-based one
[22:38] <phix> nucc1: that is just a risk I am willing to take
[22:38] <RandomizeR> nucc1, the new one just auto detects everything
[22:38] <Ookami> Church, where can i find those ?
[22:38] <nucc1> phix: LOL.
[22:39] <Church> Ookami: by googling? :) there are several collection of linux related HOWTOs out there on the web
[22:39] <edhel231> Iowan: interestingly enough, seems extremely odd, but
[22:39] <Ookami> Church, so the best googling term would be ? :)
[22:39] <nucc1> nucc1: should still be possible to config everything manually in xorg.conf though. maybe you should plug both monitors, run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and then edit the resulting file, adding the relevant sections for your displays.
[22:39] <Ookami> << he don't know about "shell" and all
[22:39] <Church> Ookami: http://tldp.org/ one of them
[22:39] <switch10_> Ookami: there is a really good linux pocket book that orielly makes that is awesome
[22:39] <nucc1> RandomizeR: ^^
[22:40] <Church> Ookami: shell is same as command.com. just more easier to use :)
[22:40] <Iowan> edhel231: Hmmm, how to connect w/ no interface? ... nvm topic for another day
[22:40] <RandomizeR> nucc1, yeah, i just didn't wanna start another night of brute-forcing my way through this
[22:40] <duffydack> Church, lol
[22:40] <edhel231> Iowan: she started linux, no network
[22:41] <Brack10> some update I did has been causing any graphical operation to use way more CPU than mormal.  Nvidia Geforce 6600.  I've tried 4 different kernel revs, and 4 different nvidia driver versions, and it's still doing it.  Games are unplayable, videos lag like crazy.  Anyone know what I can do?
[22:41] <Ookami> Church, thanks man .. i'll give it some time there and .. what more time .. what is "shell" .. a site ?
[22:41] <Church> Ookami: shell - as in most probably bash if you are using default ubuntu install
[22:41] <edhel231> Iowan: she started windows, then rebooting to linux, it worked
[22:41] <edhel231> Iowan: and I cannot figure out why, it makes no sense
[22:41] <Church> Ookami: as in what interprets your commands when you switch to console or run some gui terminal app
[22:41] <RandomizeR> nucc1, thanks for your help :)
[22:41] <RandomizeR> thanks everyone :)
[22:41] <nucc1> RandomizeR: sorry we couldn't find a solution :(
[22:41] <chatZilla> how would i go about doing this on linux: making a live radio streaming station where i can upload music to it  and refer people to my station?
[22:42] <valio> hi, I compiled a new kernel. Everything worked fine but it didn't generate any inird in the boot folder
[22:42] <Iowan> edhel231:  Agreed - certainly odd!
[22:42] <edhel231> Iowan: whoa!
[22:42] <valio> I tried to make one with mkinitrd but there is no such command in ubuntu
[22:42] <RandomizeR> nucc1, it's ok, as i told you, i've been trying for 2 nights after work and came up with nothing ^_^
[22:42] <Iowan> edhel231:  Whoa-d
[22:42] <nucc1> Brack10: have you confirmed that your powerpack is working right?
[22:42] <edhel231> Iowan: nevermind, I thought it was something else
[22:42] <Ookami> Church, hmmm .. i didn't fully get it .. i'm a bit of a beginner here .. but i'll get to it sometime ^^ .. anyway man .. thanks a lot :D .. be safe and thanks for you time ^^
[22:42] <edhel231> Iowan: she connected fine from windows
[22:43] <valio> there is only mkinitrd.yard which crashed with the this error yaird error: bad device link in /sys/block/sda (fatal)
[22:43] <Ookami> switch10, thank u too ^^ .. and Dr.Willisy or something like that ^^ .. see you around
[22:44] <adalal> .
[22:44] <nucc1> RandomizeR: my advise, let the problem rest for a few days. the next time you tackle it, make your goal be getting a valid xorg for your purposes. ignore any other possibilities :)
[22:44] <spydon_> What is the name of the gnome printer settings app in ubuntu?
[22:44] <pauljw> dr
[22:45] <nucc1> spydon system-config-printer ?
[22:45] <cwillu_at_work> spydon, system-config-printer/system-config-printer-applet
[22:45] <edhel231> Iowan: whoa!
[22:45] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, want me to fix it? :p
[22:46] <spydon_> nucc1: cwillu_at_work thx
[22:46] <edhel231> Iowan: theory:
[22:46] <edhel231> Iowan: she starts windows, connects to the internet
[22:46] <Ubuntu_User> Ummm what is the Restricted extras?
[22:46] <nado> hi there
[22:46] <Ubuntu_User> And how do I make it work?
[22:46] <edhel231> Iowan: and the PPPoE ip lease does not expire
[22:47] <edhel231> Iowan: and she switches to linux, so it works
[22:47] <bastidrazor> Ubuntu_User: install ubuntu-restricted-extras and they just work
[22:47] <nado> can somebody tell me how to prevent empathy from changing my status to available as soon as i return to my computer after a few minutes of idling?
[22:47] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, tell me the resolution it should be, and give me the links that this sends:  "sudo apt-get install pastebinit; xrandr --verbose | pastebinit; pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[22:48] <rhett> can I install inittab on ubuntu?
[22:48] <Iowan> edhel231:  Maybe... What version? Karmic had DSL issues early on (PPPOE?)
[22:48] <cwillu_at_work> rhett, sure, but why would you want to?
[22:48] <Iowan> edhel231:  Recent problem, or ongoing?
[22:48] <rhett> cwillu_at_work, because I don't see event.d
[22:48] <Ubuntu_User> What do they do?
[22:48] <cwillu_at_work> rhett, it's /etc/init/ now
[22:48] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, ok, i'm on it :)
[22:48] <RandomizeR> thanks :)
[22:49] <Ubuntu_User> I'm still having the same flash problems I did before?
[22:49] <edhel231> Iowan: she is going now, but I can continue a bit with the details she provided
[22:49] <cwillu_at_work> rhett, indicating the intent to replace /etc/init.d/
[22:49] <nado> is nobody having the same problem?
[22:49] <rhett> cwillu_at_work, why the f does ubunutu change init all the time?
[22:49] <edhel231> Iowan: problem also happened a few months ago
[22:49] <cwillu_at_work> rhett, eh?  we haven't changed init in years
[22:49] <chatZilla> how do i upload music to a site, make a radio station out of it and be able to refer people to it?
[22:49] <RandomizeR> pastebinit, nice!
[22:49] <RandomizeR> handy ;)
[22:49] <cwillu_at_work> rhett, we're finally using the init we put in place 2 (3?) years ago)
[22:50] <edhel231> Iowan: she fixed it, and recently it appeared again
[22:50] <Dr_Willis> rhett:  its been slowly moveing toward usign Upstart. tahts the reason for the slow changes
[22:50] <RandomizeR> http://pastebin.com/f7cf86da   --   http://pastebin.com/f574d3e89
[22:50] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, :)
[22:50] <rhett> cwillu_at_work, all  I want to do is respawn this /usr/bin/svscanboot
[22:50] <Iowan> edhel231:  Good luck - doubt ISP can/will help w/ Linux.
[22:50] <goose[PC]> chatZilla: icecast
[22:50] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, what's the resolution its supposed to be?
[22:50] <rhett> like I would put initab, how do I do that now that inittab, and now event.d is gone?
[22:50] <edhel231> Iowan: well, she is off now
[22:51] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, 1280x1024
[22:51] <phix> hmmm, should i reraise unsuited connectors?
[22:51] <phix> pre-flop
[22:51] <edhel231> Iowan: but my question is, how can that happen (the windows/linux thing)
[22:51] <cwillu_at_work> rhett, I already said:  /etc/event.d/ -> /etc/init/
[22:51] <Iowan> edhel231:  off=offlin again?
[22:51] <rhett> cwillu_at_work, everything in my init ends in .conf
[22:51] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, one moment
[22:51] <nucc1> chatZilla: try icecast
[22:51] <phix> what do you reckon nucc1 ?
[22:51] <edhel231> Iowan: off=going to bed ;)
[22:52] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, sure, take your time :)
[22:52] <Ubuntu_User> Have you been recieving alot of complaints about Gaiaonline?
[22:52] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, and thanks again for helping :)
[22:52] <cwillu_at_work> rhett, what are you actually trying to accomplish?  restart a service on boot?
[22:52] <edhel231> Iowan: but she _has_ the reboot from windows thing working
[22:52] <rhett> cwillu_at_work, respawn a service on boot
[22:52] <edhel231> Iowan: which is extremely odd
[22:52] <cyberconcur> type
[22:52] <edhel231> Iowan: even the idea is absurd
[22:52] <cwillu_at_work> rhett, sorry;  spawn or respawn?
[22:52] <nucc1> phix: reckon about what?
[22:53] <phix> nucc1: should I reraise unsuited connectors pre-flop?
[22:53] <SonhadorPR> Hey all, having a little problem with Ubuntu 9.10 not recognizing NTFS HDDs. I try to do it on GUI, it gives me error: Unable to Main Drive Authentication is required. I've always been able to access the Internal NTFS drives, why is this problem coming up now?
[22:53] <talonstriker> i'd like to update my wireless drivers, where can I get the .debs?
[22:53] <Iowan> edhel231:  Better'n nothing, but a fix would be better!
[22:53] <rhett> cwillu_at_work, in event.d or inittab, you say respawn
[22:53] <rhett> exec /usr/bin/svscanboot
[22:53] <cwillu_at_work> rhett, if it's just starting it the first time, look to any of the config files in /etc/init/ as an example;  /etc/init/tty1 is a really basic example, and demonstrates how easy such things are now
[22:53] <chatZilla> nuccl: i downloaded icecast where's the option to add music and where's the url I'm suppose to give to people so they can listen to my radio station
[22:54] <cwillu_at_work> rhett, respawn means "restart this if it dies".  It's a parameter that is incidental to starting it in the first place
[22:54] <nucc1> phix: what subject are we on ;)
[22:54] <edhel231> Iowan: and another thing: rebooting from windows works
[22:54] <rhett> i understand that cwillu_at_work
[22:54] <phix> nucc1: ubuntu related :) pokerth
[22:54] <edhel231> Iowan: but turning off, then on doesn't
[22:54] <nucc1> chatZilla: google icecast, find their website, they should have a manual there. there's also "darkice" or so.
[22:54] <cwillu_at_work> rhett, I understand your confusion now;  /etc/event.d/inittab wasn't special, it was just another upstart job that you created (it had no special meaning over any other upstart job)
[22:54] <edhel231> Iowan: maybe something hardware-level?
[22:54] <cwillu_at_work> rhett, so, just create /etc/init/whatever.conf, and edit it the same way
[22:54] <edhel231> Iowan: I mean, cold boot doesn't work
[22:55] <nucc1> phix: so, connectors. I assume they have something to do with computers :) . then pre-flop. YOu mean "before they fail" ?
[22:55] <edhel231> Iowan: but reboot from windows, does
[22:55] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, have you used nvidia-config to do anything?
[22:55] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, sorry, nvidia-settings
[22:55] <nucc1> phix: you have a way of grinding my brain to a screeching halt :d
[22:55] <RandomizeR> i used the graphical one
[22:55] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, _which_ graphical one?
[22:55] <rhett> ok, looks like it worked cwillu_at_work
[22:55] <RandomizeR> yeah, nvidia-settings
[22:56] <rhett> i don't understand what was wrong with inittab
[22:56] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, k, one more moment :p
[22:56] <SonhadorPR> Hey all, having a little problem with Ubuntu 9.10 not recognizing NTFS HDDs. I try to do it on GUI, it gives me error: Unable to mount Main Drive Authentication is required. I've always been able to access the Internal NTFS drives, why is this problem coming up now?
[22:56] <cwillu_at_work> rhett, there's no such thing as inittab
[22:56] <phix> nucc1: <3
[22:56] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, sorry, i wasn't sure if it was the same as nvidia-settings
[22:56] <rhett> there is linux outside of ubuntu cwillu_at_work , where even inittab still exists
[22:56] <nucc1> phix: so if you can re-cast what you said in english for an oldie like moi, then I might share what i reckon :)
[22:56] <cwillu_at_work> rhett, if you happen to make a file called inittab.conf in /etc/init (or inittab in /etc/event.d before), it works no differently than any other file name
[22:56] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, here's the current _default_ xorg
[22:57] <phix> nucc1: :D
[22:57] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, xorg.config*
[22:57] <rhett> i'm saying, I have no idea why inittab had to go away , or event.d for that matter
[22:57] <goose[PC]> how do I set the time on my server?
[22:57] <rhett> like, is there really any improvement with this new way?
[22:57] <Iowan> edhel231:  Certainly odd  that it takes Windows to cause something to reset.
[22:57] <nucc1> goose[PC]: that's a good question :p
[22:57] <Dr_Willis> rhett:  yes.  Check out the upstart docs/homepage/threads
[22:58]  * Dr_Willis thinks its called progress.
[22:58] <cwillu_at_work> rhett, I'm done with your trolling
[22:58] <goose[PC]> nucc1: that's why I asked it :) The incorrect time stamps in my irssi are driving me crazy
[22:58] <nucc1> goose[PC]: I was merely indicating that I've never tried that myself :)
[22:59] <`mOOse`> anybody game for some Q's on casper-rw?
[22:59] <Michalxo> could anyone provide me loki-installer? (loki-unistaller would be better though)
[22:59] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, one sec, still looking for the relevant options to the nvidia config utils
[22:59] <rhett> whoa, actually, this is pretty amazing, from the upstart docs
[22:59] <Iowan> edhel231:  You (she) can uncomment the /etc/network/interfaces definitions to see if it works differently that way.
[22:59] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, tyt, thanks :)
[23:00] <rhett> I can just do start myservice, stop myservice, status myservice
[23:00] <sheepsy1> Hey guys, this is a general question about partitioning: I started my install with 4 logical partitions (boot, swap, /, and /home) and left a bunch of space unallocated. Now I want to add more partitions using GParted. GParted tells me that one partition needs to be converted to extended before I can use the unallocated space on the drive. However, there is no workflow that I see where I can keep the contents of one 
[23:00] <rhett> you can't do that with inittab
[23:00] <edhel231> Iowan: sorry 'bout that, saw the network cable plugged, and I unplugged it without a second thought
[23:00] <sheepsy1> Does anyone know how I can achieve this?
[23:00] <edhel231> Iowan: now that's a genius way to figure things out :))
[23:00] <rhett> hmm, maybe I don't need daemontools anymore
[23:01] <rCX> How can I change the ownership of a directory and all of its subdirectories to myself (the user)?
[23:01] <edhel231> Iowan: apparently at the moment I cannot connect to wireless
[23:01] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, is this a laptop or a stand alone screen?  If it's a separate screen, can you give me the model number?
[23:01] <edhel231> Iowan: oh well
[23:01] <edhel231> Iowan: thanks for all the help, I appreciate it, and she does, too ;)
[23:01] <RandomizeR> separate screen, ViewSonic VA714
[23:02] <RandomizeR> and graphics card nvidia 9600
[23:02] <RandomizeR> ubuntu karmic, latest updates, restricted driver
[23:02] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, i dunno if you got this when i said it before, but the graphics card can't read the monitor's EDID correctly
[23:03] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, and nvidia-settings doesn't include the correct resolution, right?  I think we'll just have to find the edid.bin file for the monitor, and load it into nvidia-settings via the gpu | crt (or whatever) | acquire edid
[23:03] <cwillu_at_work> yep
[23:03] <cwillu_at_work> I had the same problem with the same resolution but a different monitor
[23:03] <RandomizeR> oh, you can do that?!
[23:03] <cwillu_at_work> oh, of course :p
[23:03] <gandhi_> how are the radeonhd drivers?
[23:03] <cwillu_at_work> nvidia has their own special way different than the usual method, but the method exists :p
[23:03] <gandhi_> do they work well yet?
[23:03] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, that'd be brilliant!
[23:04] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, :D
[23:04] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, don't happen to still have the cd (yes, really) that came with the monitor? :p
[23:04] <ardian> Hi my ubuntu firewall is blocking hamachi how can fix that ?
[23:04] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, i do, as a matter of fact :D
[23:05] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, the relevant file might be on there
[23:05] <cwillu_at_work> no idea where though :p
[23:05] <velcroshooz> how do i delete a program and all the libs it installed?
[23:05] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work,  ok, i'll look for it right now, one sec
[23:05] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, otherwise, http://www.viewsonic.com/support/downloads/drivers/_download/Monitor_EDID.zip might include it
[23:06] <duffydack> velcroshooz, sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
[23:06] <leoverdura> happy xmas!
[23:06] <bastidrazor> velcroshooz: apt-get remove program ..and the libs if not needed by anything else will be remove by apt-get autoremove
[23:06] <duffydack> velcroshooz, sudo apt-get autoremove --purge (program)
[23:06] <cwillu_at_work> note that --purge is actually the config files, and isn't necessary to remove the unneeded libs
[23:06] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, ok, i'll download the file and still checking around my cds to find the monitor's cd
[23:07] <cwillu_at_work> (typically config files take up negligable space, and allows easy restoration of the old config when you reinstall)
[23:07] <duffydack> cwillu_at_work, ive never needed to keep any configs of a progra I want 100% rid of..
[23:07] <velcroshooz> thank you
[23:07] <duffydack> 100% meaning, libs too
[23:08] <phix> Social engineering fail for me :(
[23:08] <phix> happy honika btw
[23:08] <nucc1> how so?
[23:08] <RandomizeR> oh, that link is a windows exe file
[23:09] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, should be unzippable if it's just a self-extracting
[23:09] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, ok, i'll see
[23:09] <phix> nucc1: oh I was two positions away from being in a paid position, so I told two ppl to click the leave table button, I even told them where it was on the screen too, no one did it :(
[23:09] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, otherwise i'll reboot into windows to do it
[23:09] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, you mean inside the zip?
[23:09] <phix> I fail at social engineering
[23:09] <JoeSomebody> hi, i was too mad about a bad website the other day, i was not fit to talk to, i apologize to anyone i offended, and hope you understand, maybe you flipped out at a company before too
[23:09] <`mOOse`> duffydack: sudo apt-get program --purge will get rid of everything
[23:09] <JoeSomebody> anyways merry christmas to all
[23:10] <cwillu_at_work> phix, #ubuntu-offtopic for all your offtopic chatter :p
[23:10] <phix> RandomizeR: are you threating cwillu_at_work about rebooting into Windows?
[23:10] <phix> cwillu_at_work: oh yeah, my bad
[23:10] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, yeah
[23:10] <sheepsy1> Let me correct my post, as clearly it was wrong: I have 4 primary partitions, I want to convert 1 to extended so I can add more. Is this possible without deleting everything on that 1 partition?
[23:10] <RandomizeR> and, phix, no i'm not :P
[23:11] <phix> cwillu_at_work: well I was sort of ontopic, I am playing pokerstars via the ubuntu wine package
[23:11] <nucc1> phix: how do i "/join" in empathy? :p
[23:11] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, it's not extractable
[23:11] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, inside the zip there's an exe
[23:11] <phix> nucc1: sudo apt-get install irssi screen
[23:11] <Arney> Note: All of my "U" are "I"
[23:11] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, i'll need to reboot into windows to see what's in there
[23:11] <nucc1> RandomizeR: why don't u try using wine for that?
[23:11] <Arney> U cant get my cistom keyboard to be recognuzed, u mean the cistom layoit
[23:11] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, fancy :p
[23:11] <RandomizeR> nucc1, hmmm
[23:12] <nucc1> phix: funny :d empathy can now execute apt-get commands :p
[23:12] <phix> :)
[23:12] <Arney> U ised to unstall ut un 8.04 now u ipgraded to 9.10 and uts not recognuzed properly
[23:12] <phix> nucc1: screen -S freenodeIRC irssi
[23:12] <Arney> u tryed edutung the base.xml and the is fule un the X11 symbols folder
[23:12] <Arney> bit the system wont recognuze ut.
[23:12] <cwillu_at_work> Arney, can't understand that, plase use full and correctly spelled words (as much as possible)
[23:12] <RandomizeR> nucc1, cwillu_at_work: apt-getting wine now, i'll see if that'll run it
[23:12] <phix> nucc1: /j #ubuntu
[23:13] <rCX> How can I change the ownership and group of a directory to myself (the user)?
[23:13] <Arney> cwillu_at_work: my keyboard layout unst beung recognuzed
[23:13] <nucc1> phix: a-ha! that's it. he he. I already used a menu though. just got into ~offtopic
[23:13] <phix> Arney: why are your us is?
[23:13] <nucc1> rCX: chown username.group dir
[23:13] <cwillu_at_work> Arney, heh;  fresh install?
[23:13] <phix> I think I am still banned from offtopic
[23:13] <ardian> my ubuntu firewall is blocking hamachi how can fix that ?
[23:14] <phix> apparantly you can be offtopic in an offtopic channel :)
[23:14] <msmarc> Does anyone know a good guide to configure Samba with a php web interface?
[23:14] <Arney> My us file is in usr/share/x11/xkb/symbols
[23:14] <nucc1> phix: rotflol
[23:14] <PlasmaSheep> My dell Inspiron 1405 will not properly suspend or hibernate. It worked fine last version. Using karmic.
[23:14] <Absurde> Ah ouais. Et bien sûr c'pas français ici.
[23:14] <phix> hey ops, can one of you fine gentlemans unban me in offtopic?
[23:14] <cwillu_at_work> Absurde, #ubuntu-fr
[23:14] <cwillu_at_work> !fr
[23:15] <cwillu_at_work> phix, -> #ubuntu-ops and plead your case;  in the mean time, keep it on-topic here :p
[23:15] <Arney> U can bearly type anythung becaise the layoit us messed ip.
[23:15] <phix> Absurde: either that or just speak English like we know you can :)
[23:15] <Bcool> nice installing 9.10 fresh solved my problem
 Arney, heh;  fresh install?
[23:15] <Arney> yes
[23:15] <cwillu_at_work> Arney, from live cd?
[23:15] <Arney> yes
[23:16] <Arney> 9.10
[23:16] <cwillu_at_work> which keyboard layout did you select?
[23:16] <phix> cwillu_at_work: ok, I will try, but I really need an offtopic conversation with ubuntu ppl
[23:16] <Bcool> wonder why upgrading to 9.10 caused net problems
[23:16] <RandomizeR> Arney, just switch the u with the i and vice versa
[23:16] <`mOOse`> that could be kinda fun, in the right channels lol
[23:16] <nucc1> Arney: if you know what the layout should be, just go and select it in the kb prefs
[23:16] <Arney> Dvorak, closesthung to my custom layoit
[23:16] <cwillu_at_work> phix, this isn't the place for it.
[23:16] <rCX> nucc1: thx
[23:16] <phix> any way, any one has a question for me to answer so I don't appear to be an offtopic pain in the ...?
[23:16] <JoeSomebody> Bcool, upgrading to 9.10 solved MY net problems
[23:16] <cwillu_at_work> Arney, oh, you've got a custom layout that you're trying to use?
[23:16] <phix> cwillu_at_work: ok
[23:16] <PlasmaSheep> My dell Inspiron 1405 will not properly suspend or hibernate. It worked fine last version. Using karmic.
[23:16] <JoeSomebody> i have no idea why :)
[23:17] <Arney> nucc1: its custom u edited the files and my layoit usn't shoyung ip
[23:17] <phix> PlasmaSheep: Do you need to suspend or hibernate your computer?
[23:17] <Bcool> my internet was slow when I used the upgrade option in 9.04
[23:17] <phix> My lappy freezes sometimes when coming out of suspend, but it does that in windows too
[23:17] <phix> I think it is a BIOS bug
[23:17] <Bcool> I just tried a clean install of 9.10 from a cd and it works fine
[23:17] <cwillu_at_work> Arney, does it show up in system | preferences | keyboard | layouts | add?
[23:17] <phix> PlasmaSheep: have you updated to the lasted BIOS?
[23:18] <Arney> no, thats the problem
[23:18] <Arney> isially ut does
[23:18] <cwillu_at_work> Arney, the configuration backends and approaches have been changing a bit, and I don't think it's sane to extensively customize a keyboard layout :p
[23:18] <Arney> on oldder ibinti
[23:19] <PlasmaSheep> phix: I install the updates pushed to the repos, so I assume so.
[23:19] <Arney> cwillu_at_work: http://paste2.org/p/577672 my layoit
[23:19] <cwillu_at_work> Arney, check your private messages
[23:19] <Arney> before u ised to paste that, ok thank yoi
[23:19] <phix> PlasmaSheep: erh, I mean from the makers of your lappy
[23:19] <phix> PlasmaSheep: ubuntu doesn't flash your BIOS for you
[23:20] <phix> It would be neat if it did though
[23:20] <PlasmaSheep> phix: ah, well then I haven't run bios upgrades in a loong time.
[23:20] <msmarc> My power PC mac doesn't hibernate? Is there a way to make it?
[23:20] <phix> msmarc: there is, it involves a hammer, but there is no guarrantee it will wake up from its hibernation
[23:21] <duffydack> its winter, they're all hibernating
[23:21] <`mOOse`> windows never has (and probably never will) hibernate gracefully - seems that MS just can't seem to figure it out
[23:21] <phix> I ROOM WITH A MOOSE!
[23:21] <Hydrosis> I disagree, windows hiberanes perfectly for me but Ubuntu never wakes up and I have to reset my machine.
[23:22] <`mOOse`> I get about 8 out of 10 attempts at hibernation...those 2 crap out
[23:22] <Hydrosis> hibernates*
[23:22] <`mOOse`> I M a mOOse!
[23:22] <phix> ah. there is a difference hey
[23:22] <`mOOse`> well Hydrosis....it's not 100% for all the time, for everybody - it just happens to be a fact that MS has never done a good job at it
[23:22] <cwillu_at_work> hibernation / suspend woes are the hardware / bios manufacturers, neither windows nor ubuntu can do much about it if the firmware is simply broken
[23:23] <phix> cwillu_at_work: that's what I said
[23:23] <`mOOse`> true enough cwillu_at_work but...
[23:23] <cwillu_at_work> but nothing :p
[23:23] <phix> cwillu_at_work: you still at work?
[23:23] <Hydrosis> 'm00se' I use windows daily and Ive NEVER had problems with hibernation, but Ubuntu ALWAYS 100% of the time does not wake up for me.  VERY frustrating when it was turned on.
[23:23] <`mOOse`> they seem to be able to grok other kludges just fine -
[23:23] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, hey, i tried the program on wine, it was an installer
[23:23] <Sinclair86> anyone here kubuntu kde 4.4 and have knetworkmanager working?
[23:24] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, i went through with it and installed it, but the exe it installs is a tool to read the EDID
[23:24] <minimec> Hydrosis: First thing to check is your GPU. Nvidia property driver is a nightmare when it comes to suspend/hibernation. ATI OpenSource si working better and better. 2nd, try to disable your wifi if you have one activated. Then try to suspend your machine.
[23:24] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, i will reboot into windows, use that tool to get the EDID, right?
[23:24] <cwillu_at_work> yes
[23:24] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, what should it look like?
[23:24] <phix> Sinclair86: no sorry
[23:24] <`mOOse`> Hydrosis...that's very good...I guess that cinches it then - 10,000,000 people must be wrong then
[23:24] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, a one-line string or a block?
[23:24] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, or a binary file?
[23:24] <cwillu_at_work> RandomizeR, it's basically a binary file that the monitor sends;  whatever file you get out should work fine
[23:24] <Sinclair86> >_<
[23:25] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, ok, nice :)
[23:25] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, i'll do that real quick and be right back :)
[23:25] <cwillu_at_work> Random832, 128bytes, binary, maybe :p
[23:25] <Hydrosis> minimec I dont use nVidia.  I have intel.  It's NEVER a problem with Windows in thsi regards.  According to 'm00se' I must be crazy because my Ubuntu doesnt work better than windows.
[23:25] <RandomizeR> cwillu_at_work, thanks a lot for your help, you're a life saver!
[23:25] <RandomizeR> brb...
[23:25] <minimec> Hydrosis: Intel should do with suspend/hibernation. Do you use 9.10 with kms enabled?
[23:26] <Hydrosis> What is kms?  I use Kramic.
[23:26] <`mOOse`> 4,330,000 hits on google for "windows hibernation problems"....and when did I say that Hydrosis?? Too much nog bro
[23:26] <bastidrazor> `mOOse`: care to stay on ubuntu support?
[23:26] <`mOOse`> sure...sry
[23:27] <okor> Anyone know what would cause very slow browsing of samba shares on local network?
[23:27] <JoeSomebody> what is that best stuff chan?
[23:28] <minimec> Hydrosis: kms means KernelModeSettings. I don't think that they are enabled by default with the intel GPU (they are not activated with ATI GPU's). Try to search the net for 'intel kms ubuntu'
[23:28] <bastidrazor> !best | JoeSomebody

[23:28] <Whizpopthat> I just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10. I had 9.04 before, and my wireless card isn't picking up any networks, it is enabled, and I know for a fact I have my router enabled and I'm within the correct distance.
[23:28] <yoshio_221> hey guys, i need some help on ubuntu installation. im trying to install using wubi, and then when i reboot to continue installation it says cannot find ubuntu/install/installation.iso
[23:28] <goose[PC]> it's time for goose's only amsg of the year, so have yourself a merry christmas / happy hanukkah / happy kwanza / quiet non-religious night :)
[23:29] <blakkheim> yoshio_221: don't use wubi
[23:29] <bastidrazor> goose[PC]: you forgot chrismakka
[23:29] <minimec> Hydrosis: As is mentioned... wifi is sometimes also a problem with suspend/hibernate.
[23:29] <yoshio_221> why not? it seems like its the only hope for me right now
[23:29] <JoeSomebody> it said it doesn't know :)
[23:29] <yoshio_221> what other things should i use?
[23:29] <JoeSomebody> can i ask here?
[23:29] <Hydrosis> minimec I'm wired.
[23:29] <blakkheim> yoshio_221: an actual livecd
[23:30] <yoshio_221> it doesnt work because i put it in and it says it cannot mount cd rom after i click install or try
[23:30] <Hydrosis> Ask your question JeoSomebody, we'll try to answer if it's on topic.
[23:30] <minimec> Hydrosis: Ok. Wired connections shouldn't be a problem.
[23:30] <blakkheim> !usb > yoshio_221
[23:30] <yoshio_221> ive tried usb but it didnt work either
[23:30] <minimec> Hydrosis: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting
[23:31] <Dr_Willis> You may want to try virtualbox then.. or try some different usb flash drives.
[23:31] <JoeSomebody> i have several ntfs and some ext4 - i would like to get an anti-virus for ubuntu, it does not have to be free
[23:31] <bastidrazor> JoeSomebody: #ubuntu-offtopic has  a fair amount of intelligent ladies and gentlemens..  they may have a good 'best' guess.
[23:31] <Hydrosis> Thanks minimec, I'll read that.
[23:31] <Dr_Willis> or clarify what dident work with the cd/flash yoshio_221  and perhaops get them working
[23:31] <bastidrazor> JoeSomebody: clamav
[23:31] <JoeSomebody> win machines access my ubuntu
[23:31] <yoshio_221> i already have it on virtualbox, but i dont want it, i want it on real machine. ive also tried many usbs
[23:31] <yoshio_221> they load on other computers but not this one
[23:32] <JoeSomebody> i have clam installed already
[23:32] <cwillu_at_work> yoshio_221, is it just the livecd that doesn't boot properly?
[23:32] <yoshio_221> alright ill try cd/flash
[23:32] <Hydrosis> JoeSomebody, if you want Anti-Virus reviews I suggest you Google the phrase "Linux Anti-Virus app review" and sift through that info.  There is no "best" app, it's all subjective that way.  Hope that helps.
[23:32] <conmat> Greetings, does anyone know where to find a keyboard map file (or whatever the correct name is) for a thinkpad t400?
[23:32] <conmat> Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit
[23:32] <conmat> Thanks
[23:33] <JoeSomebody> i was thinking about how in my windows machines i have firewall etc with kaspersky, but it don't work with  new kernels
[23:33] <yoshio_221> to make the bootable usb i use unetbootin right? also if i cant boot from usb in bios i use plop boot manager right?
[23:33] <JoeSomebody> or should i use a separate firewall paackage?
[23:33] <minimec> conmat: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T400
[23:34] <Hydrosis> JoeSomebody, I use Firestarter for a firewall.
[23:34] <Dr_Willis> JoeSomebody:  i dont even use a firewall.. :)
[23:34] <hal> works great
[23:35] <Hydrosis> Dr_Willis, I usually dont use one but I have been using Firestarter for the last few weeks.
[23:35] <Hydrosis> I like reading boring log records.
[23:35] <Hydrosis> lol
[23:35] <Dr_Willis> !info logwatch
[23:35] <JoeSomebody> firefox locked so bad after opening uncountable duplicate windows yesterday that i had to hit reset button, how do i avoid that ?
[23:36] <Whizpopthat> My fuckin wireless won't pick up my WLAM signal for some reason, im tryin to figure it out... so im using my LAN connection
[23:36] <JoeSomebody> aside from  avoiding that site?
[23:36] <Hydrosis> Dont open that many Windows, JoeSomebody.
[23:36] <Whizpopthat> wrong window
[23:36] <alex_mayorga> anyone familiar with the unbootable wubi install issues?
[23:36] <davidknight123> my wireless wont work
[23:36] <JoeSomebody> Hydrosis, that site did it
[23:36] <Whizpopthat> I just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10. I had 9.04 before, and my wireless card isn't picking up any networks, it is enabled, and I know for a fact I have my router enabled and I'm within the correct distance.
[23:36] <Gartral> did an update today on my acer aspire one d250.. rebooted, NONE of the internal HIDs work, no mouse, no keyboard, no mic, no cam... i need to roll back or fix this, this system is for my mother for xmas! help!
[23:36] <JoeSomebody> an MS win 7 site
[23:36] <davidknight123> i have an acer aspire 5050 and it wont pick up the wifi
[23:36] <JoeSomebody> so, how do i avoid that?
[23:36] <hal> Whiz: have you backed up your files?
[23:37] <JoeSomebody> i mean  protect against that?
[23:37] <Whizpopthat> Nope. Didn't cross my mind, thought I had a back up somewhere but nope.
[23:37] <Hydrosis> JoeSomebody, are you saying a site opened a bunch of windows on you?  Avoid that site and never return.  There's not much you can do to avoid that, unless you hack the hell out of your box.
[23:37] <Hydrosis> Or, you could turn off Java.
[23:37] <hal> if so do a direct install of 9.10
[23:37] <bastidrazor> JoeSomebody: normally, microsoft sites require IE and don't play well with any other browser
[23:37] <JoeSomebody> yes the site toasted me
[23:37] <conmat> ninimec, thanks.  I've looked here but I didn't see a specific keyboard map.  I've been following the links there but I have not found a specific file.  I tried one suggestion to edit my xmodmap file and now my left arrow key does ot work.
[23:38] <JoeSomebody> yes i know for sure
[23:38] <minimec> Whizpopthat: are you sure your wifi device is working correctly? Do you see any wireless networks in the network-applet on your desktop?
[23:38] <Whizpopthat> Well I have my 9.10 installed dual-boot beside my Windows XP.
[23:38] <Whizpopthat> So I'm thinking about uninstalling through windows and doing a reinstall.
[23:38] <Whizpopthat> But I know my wifi device is working, and no i dont see wireless networks.
[23:38] <Whizpopthat> it says disconnected.
[23:39] <JoeSomebody> i was only running xchat and firefox, happened instantly as i hit the site
[23:39] <teachprint> help with ubuntu installation.  After install gets to partitioner, I get a vague dialog without text, just a series of ?????, after this program hangs there
[23:39] <JoeSomebody> so , then , i cannot protect against this many window thing?
[23:39] <teleri> ok, this is gartral on the laptop in question, i rebooted and now have keyboard but no mouse... can anyone tell me what i have to do to have the mousepad work?
[23:39] <Hydrosis> JoeSomebody, sounds like a 1-time fluke.  Like I suggested, avoid that site and dont worry about it again unless you want to turn off Java.
[23:39] <minimec> Whizpopthat: can you open a gnome-terminal and type 'ifconfig'  in it? Then 'iwconfig'. Can you pastebin the results?
[23:39] <Hydrosis> Install script blockers in FF.
[23:40] <teleri> JoeSomebody: if your using firfox, try noscript
[23:40] <Whizpopthat> yeah hold on
[23:40] <JoeSomebody> ok and ok :)
[23:40] <JoeSomebody> thx
[23:40] <teleri> np

[23:42] <edbian> teachprint: Are you installing ubuntu 9.10 using the graphical installer?
[23:42] <Whizpopthat> Pastebin results: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2fc773f5
[23:42] <nucc1> speak
[23:42] <hal> softly
[23:42] <Mistletoe> It keeps locking up at ubninit or whatever its called
[23:42] <Mistletoe> Then reboots
[23:42] <edbian> teachprint: Are you running the live CD right now?  Can you open a terminal for me?
[23:42] <Bcool> well since my computer is working agian. I guess I will head out.
[23:43] <Bcool> later and thanks for the help
[23:43] <teachprint> thx for the welcome, I need a little help with a recurring problem in trying to install ubuntu in my athlon machine.
[23:44] <Hydrosis> teachprint, what seems to be the problem?
[23:44] <teleri> teachprint: "random" shutdown?
[23:44] <edbian> teachprint: Are you using ubuntu 9.10 and the graphical installer?  Are you running the live CD right now?
[23:44] <edbian> teachprint: Can you start up a terminal?
[23:44] <teachprint> help with ubuntu installation.  After install gets to partitioner, I get a vague dialog without text, just a series of ?????, after this program hangs there
[23:44] <edbian> teachprint: Umm, could you answer my questions?
[23:45] <teleri> teachprint: are you trying the 64 or 32 bit versions?
[23:45] <Whizpopthat> minimec: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2fc773f5

[23:47] <digitalaxis> Are there any popular FPS games that are free/online for ubuntu?
[23:47] <yoshio_221> hey i still couldnt cd... i tried cd /flash
[23:47] <teleri> digitalaxis: look at nexuiz and warsow
[23:47] <Hydrosis> digitalaxis, Urban Terror is the best, imo
[23:47] <_biovore_> actioncube
[23:47] <edbian> yoshio_221: /flash probably isn't a folder
[23:47] <jordan_> j #java
[23:47] <yoshio_221> it didnt work but i cd to K:/ (flash) and it worked
[23:47] <yoshio_221> but what do i do after that?
[23:48] <edbian> yoshio_221: I bet you can cd /home
[23:48] <rhett> cwillu_at_work, how do I log something with upstart?
[23:48] <Hydrosis> actioncube is so crappy it shouldnt be a game.  Better FX on Nintendo64 games.
[23:48] <edbian> yoshio_221: or cd /usr
[23:48] <yoshio_221> what do i do afterwards?
[23:48] <teleri> yoshio_221: try cd ./ (flash)
[23:48] <teachprint> I will try later, thanks
[23:48] <Whizpopthat> I'm having problems with connecting to my wireless network, it won't show up at all under wireless networks, all it says is "disconnected." My wireless card is enabled, and within distance of my router. Here's pastebin results of ifconfig and iwconfig: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2fc773f5
[23:48] <yoshio_221> what do i put in place of (flash)?

[23:50] <brianherman> just email me at brianherman@gmail.com
[23:50] <Whizpopthat> oh
[23:50] <Whizpopthat> hold on.
[23:50] <LiteralKa> xorg isn't detecting my mouse or keyboard after `startx' but it does if it doesn't do that
[23:50] <ubbe> thanks edbin
[23:50] <edbian> ubbe: NP
[23:50] <edbian> LiteralKa: Then don't do that?  Problem solved
[23:50] <LiteralKa> well
[23:51] <LiteralKa> it's actually once I get to the login screen
[23:51] <Whizpopthat> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m771d9b7
[23:51] <brianherman> Hydrosis: it takes a day to take effect though
[23:51] <LiteralKa> currently
[23:51] <LiteralKa> I'm using tty
[23:51] <edbian> LiteralKa: Be more specific about your entire problem :)
[23:51] <LiteralKa> umm
[23:51] <LiteralKa> well
[23:51] <Whizpopthat> ubbe: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m771d9b7
[23:52] <LiteralKa> everything works fine, though oddly about halfway through bootup, it decides to display the login screen
[23:52] <Hydrosis> brianherman: one of my friends just told me she has an invite for me, so thanks anyways!
[23:52] <LiteralKa> when it does, the mouse and keyboard don't work
[23:52] <edbian> LiteralKa: It shows gdm too early??
[23:52] <LiteralKa> yeah
[23:52] <LiteralKa> I think
[23:52] <ubbe> whizpopthat did u configure your network manuelly through network manager
[23:52] <LiteralKa> this happened when I moved from 9.04 to 9.10
[23:53] <ubbe> it's showing ur connected
[23:53] <Whizpopthat> ubbe yes, to see if it would work, no success, but I have my laptop connected LAN to my router right now.
[23:53] <matelot1> ? how to download all files from a url like this : http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/code/
[23:53] <h0g4398h3> hey ive got a question about ubuntu
[23:53] <LiteralKa> basically, I can't login
[23:53] <h0g4398h3> i was wondering if anyone was willing to help me
[23:54] <edbian> LiteralKa: Because the mouse and keyboard don't work.  I suggest purging and re-installing HAL.
[23:54] <cwillu_at_work> !ask h0g4398h3
[23:54] <cwillu_at_work> !ask | h0g4398h3
[23:54] <ubbe> whizpopthat so does iwconfig scanning show networks
[23:54] <ubbe> iwlist /scan
[23:55] <h0g4398h3> alrighty
[23:55] <LiteralKa> edbian: using apt-get purge?
[23:55] <LiteralKa> won't that uninstall a LOT of other things?
[23:55] <ubbe> not on wifi can remember exact command
[23:55] <Whizpopthat> ubbe: unknown command 'iwlist /scan'
[23:56] <h0g4398h3> I install ubuntu on an old gateway tower PC and on the desktop the orientation is messed up. The toolbars are in the middle of the screen and when you move the mouse to the top it goes to the bottom. Like super mario or something. Any ideas on what I should do?
[23:56] <edbian> LiteralKa: Additionally.  Sometimes when I start Ubuntu it doesn't recognize my mouse or keyboard.  If I wait a few minutes (like 60 second) and it comes back
[23:56] <edbian> LiteralKa: yeah, then apt-get install it
[23:56] <LiteralKa> okay
[23:56] <edbian> LiteralKa: DO NOT RESTART while it is purged
[23:56] <LiteralKa> k
[23:56] <Whizpopthat> ubbe: iwlist scan results: wlan0 Failed to read scan data: Network is down
[23:56] <cwillu_at_work> h0g4398h3, did it install like that?  is this on a monitor or an lcd?
[23:56] <LiteralKa> thank you, I've been reduced to tty for the past 24 hours
[23:57] <Whizpopthat> ubbe: iwlist scan results: wlan0 Failed to read scan data: Network is down
[23:57] <Hydrosis> edbian, Ubuntu doesnt detect my screen resolutions either.  I have to initiate a script each time I retsart or reload X, unless I want 600x800 on a 22" screen.
[23:57] <ubbe> Whizpopthat, iwlist scanning
[23:57] <edbian> LiteralKa: I'm not sure if it will work.  The issue is that Ubuntu isn't detecting your hardware correctly which is the biggest problem
[23:57] <ubbe> iwconfig wlan0 up
[23:58] <h0g4398h3> its a separate lcd
[23:58] <h0g4398h3> a FPD1500
[23:58] <h0g4398h3> is the screen type
[23:58] <ubbe> ifconfig wlan0 up
[23:58] <edbian> Hydrosis: What is the script?
[23:58] <Whizpopthat> ubbe: permission denied
[23:58] <ubbe> Whizpopthat, sudo
[23:59] <cwillu_at_work> h0g4398h3, open a terminal, and run this line (copy and paste it), and give me the url's it gives back -->  sudo apt-get install pastebinit; xrandr | pastebinit; pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[23:59] <LiteralKa> edbian: and then reinstal xserver-xorg-core?
[23:59] <Whizpopthat> ubbe: no such file or directory
[23:59] <ubbe> Whizpopthat, always use sudo when running commands
[23:59] <Whizpopthat> yeah i did after i tried without sudo lol
[23:59] <cwillu_at_work> ugh, use sudo when necessary, and only when necessary :p
[23:59] <ubbe> Whizpopthat, example   sudo bash
[23:59] <Hydrosis> I write a script that adds resolutions and then changes the resolution.  I used xrandr to generate the info needed.
[23:59] <ubbe> then run the commands after sudo bash
[23:59] <edbian> LiteralKa: I'm not sure about dependencies.  I think that HAL is all alone though.  Am I wrong?
[23:59] <LiteralKa> apparently not
[23:59] <edbian> LiteralKa: I feel squimish about it then..
