[00:02] <henrique_> 768 #
[00:03] <fatface> how do I find a source uri for my sources.list?
[00:03] <jillsmitt> henrique_, check new drivers activity with "Hardware Drivers" tool
[00:04] <henrique_> i've already done it
[00:04] <jillsmitt> henrique_, restart Xorg server
[00:04] <airtonix> fatface, a URI to put in your sources list ?
[00:04] <henrique_> i restarted computer, is that enough?
[00:04] <fatface> yes
[00:04] <airtonix> fatface, it depends on the repository you are wanting to append.
[00:05] <henrique_> jillsmitt: i can only set 640x480 and 320x240 resolution
[00:05] <Rajasun> fatface: for ppas search https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[00:05] <bastid_raZor> protojay: protojay i'm not seeing anything right off. possibly google lincity-ng guide and read a few of the blogs people have posted about it
[00:05] <fatface> airtonix: one which would allow me to call apt-get build-dep ...
[00:05] <henrique_> i'm trying to edit xorg.conf but without results
[00:05] <multi_io> what logfile does the output of /etc/init.d startscripts end up in?
[00:05] <jillsmitt> henrique_, hmm, what version of ubuntu do you have? what version of nvidia drivers are installed?
[00:06]  * fatface checking that website
[00:06] <airtonix> fatface, yes thats fine, usually the convention is to use the same uri for the deb, but prefix it with "deb-src" instead of just "deb"
[00:06] <jillsmitt> henrique_, what version of Xorg do you have?
[00:06] <henrique_> ubuntu 9.10, 173 nvidia driver
[00:06] <sepehr> need help, killed my eth0 by trying to install kwlan now this is my ifconfig output http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2473c470
[00:06] <jillsmitt> henrique_, nvidia card is....?
[00:06] <airtonix> fatface, but the repository has to be providing src files first.

[00:07] <henrique_> jillsmitt: i've made all ubuntu updated, i think that is updated
[00:07] <airtonix> fatface, it's also recommended that you create seperate source list files as : /etc/apt/sources.list.d/name-of-repository.list

[00:08] <fatface> airtonix: what for?
[00:09] <bazhang> linuxghost, dont repeat so quickly
[00:09] <airtonix> matthew12, you investigated shared folders... (access and controlled through the virtual media manager)
[00:09] <linuxghost> ok
[00:09] <Ov3rf10w> precrack, go to mixer, sound may be muted
[00:09] <sepehr> need help, killed my eth0 by trying to install kwlan now this is my ifconfig output http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2473c470
[00:09] <freaky[t]_> happy christmas everyone ;D
[00:09] <jillsmitt> henrique_, okay, if it is activated in Hardware Drivers there must be way to set up 1024x768
[00:09] <airtonix> fatface, so you don't pollute the offical sources.list of the OS. it also makes it easier for backing up the various list files for later use.
[00:09] <precrack> Says Current Mixer:  and then it's blank and don't give me any choices
[00:10] <timG4> Enable/configure IP-over-Firewire? Just need some guidance.
[00:10] <fatface> airtonix: the deb -> deb-src change really worked well for me
[00:10] <MidoCrash> hey guys
[00:10] <MidoCrash> please i want some help
[00:10] <henrique_> jillsmitt: i only have 2 options here, 640x480 and 320x240
[00:10] <MidoCrash> please
[00:10] <linuxghost> sepehr, how did u do to install kwlan???
[00:10] <jillsmitt> who can tell me why i do not have correct mouse theme changing?
[00:10] <MidoCrash> how can i know what mu ubuntu is 32 or 64 bit ?
[00:10] <MidoCrash> my
[00:10] <Ov3rf10w> precrack, select controlers and select all
[00:10] <airtonix> fatface, the idea is not to change the current deb line, but rather to duplicate it...so you have a deb line and a deb-src line.
[00:10] <matthew12> airtronix...I selected my home folder to be shared but I can't view it in virtualbox in the networkplaces
[00:11] <jillsmitt> henrique_, try other version of nvidia drivers
[00:11] <fatface> airtonix: thats not much of an issue for me since i just deleted the whole thing a minute ago, since the default one that came with easypeasy wasnt working correctly
[00:11] <sepehr> linuxghost: with synaptic package manager
[00:11] <bazhang> MidoCrash, uname -m in terminal
[00:11] <ai9371> anyone use LAMPP?!
[00:11] <morgan> my swap works indeed. it was not necessary due to not utilising ram enough. thanks for help guys!
[00:11] <airtonix> matthew12, not shared folders as controlled by nautilus, open virtualbox and use the virtual media manager.
[00:11] <fatface> airtonix: yeah, i know. Thats what i did.
[00:11] <jillsmitt> ai9371, ever seen howtoforge lamp instructions?
[00:11] <henrique_> jillsmitt: i'll try
[00:11] <MidoCrash> it is X86_64
[00:11] <jillsmitt> henrique_, okay
[00:12] <MidoCrash> so it 64 bit
[00:12] <bazhang> MidoCrash, 64bit
[00:12] <fatface> airtonix: thanks for the help

[00:19] <sixtila> how can i get my ubuntu bootup back ! the debian grub has made it unavailable
[00:19] <iceroot> airtonix: that is lamp
[00:19] <airtonix> iceroot, no technically LAMP when used in that acronym is describing a single standalone package that installs elsewhere to that page i linked
[00:19] <iceroot> airtonix: lamp = (l)inux (a)apache (m)ysql (p)hp
[00:20] <airtonix> iceroot, i am well aware waht it means
[00:20] <iceroot> airtonix: its a metapackage
[00:20] <airtonix> iceroot, see above

[00:22] <fengor> CVirus: inside the files you can define for which runlevels th ettys should be started
[00:22] <ai9371> if you guys know so much about lampp
[00:22] <fengor> just edit them
[00:22] <airtonix> iceroot, and you are assuming that when someone says 'lamp' they get it from apt?

[00:26] <linuxghost> sixtila what is the matter with grub loader
[00:27] <sixtila> linuxhost what i understand is the debian grub loader didnt recognize my ubuntu and i cant anymore log into ubuntu
[00:28] <iceroot> Zorael: powertop is showing you what a reasons for high energy-usage like hdd, cpu and so on for a notebook, and its telling you what app is writting to what file
[00:29] <jmyers> I've managed to remove my ability to do a few things like Install Virtual Box, and run a modprobe command since 'upgrading' my kernel.  Anyone with any ideas on how to troubleshoot these issues?
[00:30] <iceroot> jmyers: what does "i cant install virtual box" means?
[00:30] <linuxghost> sixtila, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:30] <Zorael> iceroot: It does? powertop? I must be missing something, as it only tells me what keeps waking the CPU from its lower power states
[00:31] <johndorf> so I've got an AAO D250 here, that apparently has a broadcom card, because that's the only option the device manager thing in ubuntu gives me. 9.10 and the remix version  keep crashing after the driver is installed. how can I get it to work?...\

[00:37] <epalm> for some reason, sometimes VLC plays videos with the colours inverted or something.  people's skin turn blue or green, and after it starts, it happens with any video i play, even if i switch to Movie Player.  any ideas?  rebooting fixes it.

[00:49] <jondwarf> (I'm not using bitlocker so it can go, but I need to know how)
[00:49] <Dr_Willis> jondwarf:  google or see #windows - Ive seen guides/sites with the info. but i dont use win7
[00:50] <jmyers> and_: I had an absolute nightmare getting my HD4850 working, and I STILL don't have any acceleration, but at least I can set my resolution and do dual monitors.
[00:50] <and_> hehe:)  yeah   ive heard (and felt) that ATI can be quite a hassle at times  :\

[00:52] <gdiz> hello,  I know this might be outside the realm of this irc but does anyone know if there is a way to get ubuntu (or some other gui linux) running on an ipod touch?
[00:52] <jondwarf> Dr_Willis: can it be done without removing it then?

[00:54] <Dr_Willis> nellie:  other windoss have their titlebar/buttons however?
[00:54] <iceroot> ai9371: using mysql from the repos?
[00:54] <nellie> Dr_Willis,  yes it is only firefox
[00:54] <nellie> no compiz

[00:56] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: its a strange mysql in /opt he is using
[00:56] <nellie> ctmjr,  thank you that fixed my firefox

Now I get 44170 frames in 5.0 seconds = 8833.889 FPS when glxgearing, and 1223 on fullscreen 1400 x 1050 resolution.. not sure if its good but certainly better than I had before :)
[00:58] <iceroot> ai9371: apache-files go to /var/www
[00:58] <moymoy> what's the terminal cmd line that loads a module at boot?
[00:58]  * Dr_Willis points out that one should use the 'service' command instead of the /etc/init.d/whatever  type command..
[00:58] <jmyers> and_: I have a 4850, not a 4050
[00:58] <Dr_Willis> moymoy:  you mean modprobe ?
[00:58] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: i am on oldschool ubuntu, so never used service
[00:58] <brianherman> can someone help me with trac http://paste.lisp.org/+1ZHO
[00:59] <and_> HD 4850 i meant.. sorry :)
[00:59] <Dr_Willis> iceroot:  its been around in the older releases also..
[00:59] <jmyers> and_: but I'm interested to hear how you did it.  This has been a nightmare. lol
[00:59] <moymoy> Dr_Willis: something like that, but i want something to add to the linux cmd line through GRUB or something
[00:59] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: hardy?
[00:59] <jmyers> This is SOOO slow, even the text in my irc is choppy, and horrid.
[00:59] <Dr_Willis> moymoy:  I think you may have different things confused..    I dont recall a grub/kernel option to load a specific module. There are the module 'autoload' config files.
[00:59] <Dr_Willis> !autoload
[00:59] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: service sounds like opensuse-things (rcmysql start)
[01:00] <Dr_Willis> iceroot:  rember it however.. with the move to upstart.. it will be needed in the future I beliove
[01:00] <and_> jmyers: ill try to look up my notes... took notes to learn and to  not have to go trough the same struggle over again next time reinstaing :)
[01:00] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: isnt karmic using upstart?
[01:00] <Dr_Willis> iceroot:  for 'most' of the services yes.
[01:00] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: and 10.04 should use upstart for everything?
[01:01] <Dr_Willis> iceroot:  the sysv stuff  is basically being started by one upstart service
[01:01] <Dr_Willis> thus you dont notice that the sysv stuff is sort of  being worked around.
[01:01] <jmyers> and_: can I PM you?
[01:01] <pwog_laptop> hey does anyone know if there's a disk image file that I can dd to a USB key for Ubuntu? Moblin 2.1 seems to work by dd'ing the image file to USB partition, but not Ubuntu. Using unetbootin doesn't work either. SYSLINUX starts (it seems) but just blanks the screen.
[01:01] <moymoy> Dr_Willis: takes forever to probe the modules i add to /etc/modules so i was looking for something that links directly to the kernel
 wher is documentatino?!
[01:01] <nellie> ctmjr, hmm it went back to same thing just now when I opened again? not sure why
[01:01] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: ah ok good to know, i think i must install karmic on a vm to see the new things (upstart, grub2, ext4)
[01:01] <iceroot> ai9371: man
[01:01] <iceroot> ai9371: man man
[01:02] <Dr_Willis> moymoy:  Not sure what you mean. a module gets probed/loaded unless its built into the kernel.. and that would require the kernel get recompiled.. Unless theres somthing ELSE  ive never noticed
[01:02] <nellie> ctmjr, now it is all windows doing this

[01:03] <voss>  hi. i've installed savage2 yesterday but when i try to ./savage2.bin to run game there is bash: ./savage2.bin: Permission denied. Of course chmod 777 and chown done.
[01:03] <iceroot> bazhang: thx
[01:03] <moymoy> anyone know how to change the fonts in the console?
[01:03] <nellie> ctmjr, ill have to log back in latter and ask again but thanks for the help
[01:04] <iceroot> moymoy: right click and change profile
[01:04] <Dr_Willis> moymoy:  theres the 'fbset' command I recall. and theres some config file that sets the default console font also.
[01:04] <ctmjr> nellie: sorry it should have been metacity --replace &disown then you can close the terminal window, but it should not be doing this at all for
[01:04] <iceroot> moymoy: if you mean terminal
[01:04] <timG4> Anyone familiar with IP-Over-Firewire. I'd like to enable it in Jaunty.
[01:04] <Dr_Willis> 'console' = alt-ctrl-f1 throguh F6  you mean moymoy ?
[01:04] <Dr_Willis> timG4:  i think that module for it is normally blacklisted by default.  Ive not had to mess with it in ages...
[01:05] <Samus_Aran> hello. I upgraded a computer to 9.10 and now there is no /etc/gdm/gdm.conf file. How can I specify the -dpi for Xorg with GDM on 9.10 ?
[01:05] <timG4> Dr_Willis: ugh. What sort of hoops do I have to jump through, then?
[01:05] <sixtila> debian grub looks like Grub in ubuntu - need help enabling ubuntu in Debian grub
[01:06] <Dr_Willis> timG4:  check out the blacklist file and double check. add it there.. or load it by hand perhaps.
[01:06] <Dr_Willis> !blacklist
[01:06] <Jammet> Hello there. After upgrading to Karmic, The "hardware drivers" app doesn't let me use the commercial driver package for ATI anymore. The app shows no detected drives or graphics card. Help?
[01:07] <Dr_Willis> timG4:  in blacklist.conf --->
[01:07] <Dr_Willis> # causes no end of confusion by creating unexpected network interfaces
[01:07] <Dr_Willis> blacklist eth1394
[01:07] <and_> jmyers : yeah you can try to pm me :)  using irssi and dont know all its functions yet so cant promise that it will work :P
[01:07] <voss> bye
[01:07] <jmyers> and_: do you use any IM software at all?
[01:08] <and_> jmyers: I use the propietary driver from ati: ati-driver-installer-9-8-x86.x86_64.run
[01:09] <and_> (probably old now)
[01:09] <jmyers> and_: as did I, and used the --buildandinstallpkg Ubuntu/karmic switch.
[01:09] <Jammet> and_: What about the hardware drivers Installer in Ubuntu?
[01:10] <Jammet> Mine
[01:10] <Jammet> Is not detecting any card.
[01:10] <og01> i know how to mount a iso - but i cant get it to mount rw
[01:10] <timG4> Dr_Willis: many thanks, we'll see if that brings it up
[01:10] <og01> how can i make changes to an iso
[01:10] <digitalaxis> Hey i downloaded world of warcraft on WINE, but the folder is locked and has an X next to it. SO i cant open it, how do i change that?
[01:10] <bazhang> og01, remaster one?
[01:11] <and_> i didnt use ubuntus hardware installer.. I couldnt make it work.. (but thats some time ago now)..   i downloaded the at the time lates ATI drivers
[01:11] <xeer> digitalaxis: get a life, quit playing games.
[01:11] <og01> meh i just want to change one file, do you think i have to mount hte iso, copy the content out, change the files and then recreate the iso?
[01:11] <Dr_Willis> timG4:  that stuff caused such confuseion ages ago when it first came out. :) the firewire eth stuff would add a eth0. moved the real network card to eth1..  i recall
[01:11] <bazhang> og01, you would need to remaster it
[01:11] <og01> specify 'remaster'
[01:11] <Dr_Willis> !info kiso | og01
[01:11] <Jammet> and_: Is the Hardware installer -not-working- a common problem?
[01:11] <digitalaxis> xeer: This is a support channel, if you'd like to be banned from it i have no problem reporting you
[01:11] <bazhang> og01, /msg ubottu remaster
[01:12] <Dr_Willis> og01:  what are you changeing?
[01:12] <og01> Dr_Willis: i will look at that, just a data cd for work, nothing special - not bootable or anything
[01:12] <xeer> digitalaxis: go for it, I could care less really. You asked a wine question in #ubuntu, perhaps you should re-think that and go ask in #winehq
[01:12] <and_> I dont know.. It worked for another card I have I think  (the radeon x1950).. but for the HD 4850 I had no luck
[01:12] <digitalaxis> !op | I asked for help with an issue with a game download, and xeer simply responded "get a life, quit playing games"
[01:12] <og01> s/cd/dvd
[01:12] <Jammet> and_:  Thanks
[01:13] <og01> Dr_Willis: i will look at kiso
[01:13] <xeer> either way, an op will still say go ask in the right channel.
[01:13] <og01> Dr_Willis: thanks
[01:13] <digitalaxis> xeer: Its a question about a file, genius.
[01:14] <xeer> digitalaxis: then why would you mention WoW or WINE at all?
[01:14] <Dr_Willis> digitalaxis:  change permissions/ownership on the directory and files within. if you want a user to have full access to the dir.
[01:14] <rstob911> digitalaxis: simply change permissions
[01:14] <Dr_Willis> ive seen to many times permissions/ownership get messed up by running filemanagers as root.
[01:14] <digitalaxis> xeer: Simple, because its easier to give an answer if you know the situation, you being an asshole doesnt help anything.
[01:15] <xeer> digitalaxis: your correct question would have been "how do I change permissions on a directory" or "how can I gain root access"
[01:15] <og01> xeer: your a prat, digitalaxis: look up chmod
[01:15] <Pricey> og01: No need for that :-)
[01:15]  * Dr_Willis feels the love.
[01:15] <timG4> Dr_Willis: I removed the blacklist, (right?) do I need to modprobe anything?
[01:15] <rstob911> digitalaxis: please cant we all just get along lol
[01:16] <Dr_Willis> mode probe the module or reboot timG4
[01:16] <digitalaxis> rstob911: Im in this channel almost every day offering support, so maybe you should talk to xeer.
[01:16] <xeer> og01: that's rubbish!
[01:16] <timG4> Dr_Willis: Rebooted, no interface
[01:16] <rstob911> digitalaxis: relax breath
[01:17] <digitalaxis> rstob911: I just dont like people who think they're badass cuz they can talk shit on the internet lol
[01:17] <xeer> digitalaxis: take your stress out on your children or spouse, not me. I'm just trying to help the communication
[01:17] <digitalaxis> xeer: "get a life, quit playing games" = "Helping communication?"
[01:18] <xeer> hehe
[01:19] <xeer> That's the biggest problem people have when they ask for support, the give too much information or it's not relevant.
[01:19] <og01> digitalaxis: did you get the help you needed?
[01:19] <digitalaxis> og01: looking into the chmod now.
[01:19] <airtonix> digitalaxis, don't use the launcher. also not a wine bug.
[01:19] <xeer> `man chmod` plethora of information
[01:20] <og01> digitalaxis: thats what you would use from the command line to change permissions, i beleive it can be done fromt he gui
[01:20] <Dunas> Anyone been able to get a Linksys WUSB100 running?
[01:20] <and_> chmod -R 777 "archive"  does the trick for me :)
[01:20] <og01> digitalaxis: although chmod 'should' be learned, i dunno how one could operate any distro without it
[01:20] <digitalaxis> airtonix, i know its not a wine bug, hence why i asked her
[01:20] <xeer> digitalaxis: you could simply launch nautilus from root and right click the folder, properties and adjust the ownership.
[01:20] <airtonix> digitalaxis, its a blizzard bug with their launcher.
[01:20] <og01> digitalaxis: chmod 777 should work - but not recomended
[01:20] <airtonix> digitalaxis, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=18555
[01:21] <and_> hehe true,  specially not on a multiuser machine
[01:21] <xeer> oh noes, ur wow folder might be haxed!
[01:21] <Dunas> Anyone been able to get a Linksys WUSB100 running, Ubuntu 9.10?
[01:21] <dalton_football> Hey, I'm having some wifi issues.  I'm at my aunt's house now and I can connect to my wireless router fine.  However at my house I cannot connect unless another client is connected to the router.  I tried to deactivate the alternate atheros madwifi driver, but it won't deactivate.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[01:21] <digitalaxis> airtonix: the launcher has nothing to do with not being able to open the folder, read my question before trying to help please.
[01:22] <airtonix> digitalaxis, yes it does, because it is the program rewriting the permissions on you.
[01:22] <digitalaxis> airtonix: The folder is locked, not the launcher
[01:22] <and_> ifconfig eth? down    (for disable?)
[01:22] <airtonix> digitalaxis, yes... i realise the problem. your wow folder has had its permissions change...by the launcher.
[01:22] <dalton_football> and_: that to me?
[01:23] <og01> digitalaxis: you should look at chown aswell
[01:23] <og01> digitalaxis: it could be relivent
[01:23] <og01> digitalaxis: as xeer said, use man
[01:24] <og01> digitalaxis: ie man <name of prog>
[01:24] <airtonix> digitalaxis, sudo chown your-user-name: ./WoW -R && sudo chmod 777 ./WoW -R
[01:24] <and_> dalton_football:  you could try it :)  and -  "ifconfig eth? up"  for enable I think
[01:24] <airtonix> digitalaxis, and from now own don't use thelauncher, simply download the manual updates and run WoW.exe directly
[01:25] <klong> heya .. i just got a new flat screen and I forget what I need to do to find the right modeline for my new screen at 1920x1080 what is that command again?
[01:26] <neoraiychu> help a newbie???
[01:26] <xeer> klong: perhaps your drivers have a GUI to adjust those properties?
[01:26] <airtonix> too little loot too late.

[01:34] <neoraiychu> yes would like to use one of these
[01:34] <airtonix> did you mention which version of ubuntu you are using because i dont think those work with karmic.
[01:34] <dalton> and_: however, if someone else is connected it works fine.

[01:36] <airtonix> neoraiychu, "latest and greatest" doesn't mena much to me... are you using 9.10 ?
[01:36] <hanasaki> what can I run that will be a ldap server, gui admin, firewall, mail server imap server web server on a small box as my host into a small business?
[01:36] <og01> neoraiychu: that might not be easy for someone new
[01:36] <neoraiychu> yes i am
[01:36] <and_> dalton: you use some kind of special encryption or something at home?
[01:36] <airtonix> neoraiychu, you won;t be able to use those themes then. instead look for gdm2 themes
[01:37] <neoraiychu> have any good sites i can look for anime themes?
[01:37] <rsr> I am trying to install ubuntu on a macbook but I have a problem. I need to get the wireless proprietary drivers before I blow mac os
[01:37] <dalton> No, just wpa.  But I even tried it with wep and no enc at all, same thing.
[01:37] <rsr> is that even possible?
[01:37] <dalton> and_: even with no enc, it only works if someone else is connected.
[01:37] <dalton> and_: It's a 2wire router from sbc, nothing special. Newest firmware.
[01:38] <dalton> and_:  My mom's and brother's laptops work, as does my psp.
[01:38] <mr_bliss> Anyone know how to launch the Gnome File Browser using the current working directory of a terminal?
[01:39] <neoraiychu> thank everyone for their help.
[01:39] <MenZa> mr_bliss: "nautilus ."
[01:39] <Supersaiyan_IV> mr_bliss, "nautilus ."
[01:39] <mobi-sheep> mr_bliss: nautilus /etc/
[01:39] <mr_bliss> ahhh, thanks so much
[01:40] <dragondaddy> hello
[01:41] <and_> dalton:  wow thats strange.. looks like we need a network guru here...    you know the networkname, network interface and the key,, then this should work:  ifconfig eth? up ; iwconfig eth? essid networkname ; iwconfig eth? key1234567 ; dhclient eth?
[01:41] <crazer> everyone have a good xmas �
[01:41] <dalton> and_: Yea, all that is set correctly.  I set the IPs static and everything.
[01:42] <dragondaddy> anybody know how I can move files from inside my wubi install over to my windows install
[01:42] <dalton> and_: Like I say it works fine on my brother's and it is ubuntu 9.10 also, just a cisco card.
[01:42] <dalton> and_: And the belkin card I have works fine also.
[01:42] <dalton> and_:  I wanted to maybe try ath9k, but I'm not really sure how to use it.  Kernel stuff is above my head.
[01:43] <og01> dragondaddy: do fdisk -l
[01:43] <og01> dragondaddy: and look for an ntfs drive
[01:43] <xfact> can anybody tell me how to uninstall a program in ubuntu?
[01:43] <Pytlask> Hey guys. I have a strange issue. Yesterday, I got DVDs working for 9.10. I was able to run all of my DVDs just fine, but only if I restarted the computer once the DVD was in the drive. As of today (with nothing having changed), most of my DVDs work just fine without restarting, but some aren't even detected (and the drive is never mounted). Any ideas?
[01:43] <og01> dragondaddy: note the device name (for example, /dev/sda1)
[01:43] <xfact> ﻿can anybody tell me how to uninstall a program in ubuntu?
[01:43] <dragondaddy> i installed using wubi from within windows does that make a difference?
[01:43] <and_> hmm ..  im afraid Ive got no idea either then :\
[01:43] <dalton> and_:  Well thank you for the help.
[01:43] <og01> dragondaddy: nope
[01:43] <bazhang> xfact, sudo apt-get remove packagename
[01:44] <og01> dragondaddy: are you in linux now?
[01:44] <and_> dalton: Good luck searching :)
[01:44] <dragondaddy> yes
[01:44] <og01> dragondaddy: do you know the device name of your windows drive?
[01:44] <xfact> bazhang: isn't there any graphical way?
[01:44] <hou5ton> my system will play the YouTube video, but won't play it when it is embedded in a web page?  any ideas?  ubuntu karmic
[01:44] <bllz> Hi and Merry Christmas!  I have an onboard Intel  82801G audio controller and I can't control PCM volume or Master volume with ALSA... any advice?  (I'm on 9.10, btw)
[01:44] <bazhang> xfact, sure there is, via synaptic package manager or software center
[01:44] <airtonix> xfact, system -> administration -> synaptics package manager
[01:45] <dragondaddy> i just typed fdisk -l but no response as of yet
[01:45] <bazhang> xfact, are you using karmic 9.10
[01:45] <og01> dragondaddy: ok sorry - sudo fdisk -l
[01:45] <og01> dragondaddy: say my name before you talk to me please
[01:45] <xfact> bazhang: no Ubuntu 8.10 LTS

[01:46] <sixtila> grub help needed, i have grub2 in debian and want to include ubuntu in it(which is in my other partition)
[01:46] <og01> dragondaddy: yeah dont do that again.... :)
[01:46] <dragondaddy> my bad
[01:46] <airtonix> dragondaddy, do yourself a favour and install pastebinit  : sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[01:46] <xfact> bzhang: what about if the software is not installed via software center, i installed avast antivirus from avast websute...how to uninstall it?
[01:46] <bazhang> sixtila, debian? this is for ubuntu support; try #debian
[01:46] <og01> dragondaddy: anyway i see /dev/sda1 is ntfs and likely contains your windows os
[01:47] <airtonix> dragondaddy, then try that command again from xchat here like so : /exec -o fdisk -l | pastebinit
[01:47] <bazhang> xfact, was it a deb file or something other
[01:47] <dragondaddy> og01 ok
[01:47] <sixtila> bazhang both have grub2, and when i loginto ubuntu - it says LOAD KERNEL FIRST -
[01:47] <sixtila> bazhang and the debian room is sleeping
[01:47] <xfact> bazhand: yes .deb file
[01:48] <og01> dragondaddy: sudo mkdir /mnt/windows
[01:48] <og01> dragondaddy: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
[01:48] <bazhang> sixtila, no idea how debian does it, for ubuntu it is sudo update-grub (for grub2) but you should really be patient and ask there as I don't know if it is different
[01:48] <airtonix> og01, you and dragondaddy  might want to investigate ntfs3g
[01:49] <xfact> bazhang: how to install, new in ubuntu, really have not much idea about it...
[01:49] <mespejel> hi im looking for something similar to wondershare.. which is a media converter... i wonder if there any good application for linux?
[01:49] <mespejel> i need a recommendation thank you
[01:49] <dragondaddy> og01: done on both commands
[01:49] <bazhang> mespejel, convert what to what
[01:49] <mespejel> well music and video
[01:49] <mespejel> for example a cd to acc or mp3
[01:49] <mespejel> etc
[01:49] <bazhang> mespejel, what formats
[01:49] <airtonix> !info ntfs-3g | og01
[01:49] <tritium> mespejel: ffmpeg is a popular choice
[01:50] <sixtila> bazhang i have already downloaded grub2 - i tried copying line from ubuntu grub to debian grub (cause they are both same)
[01:50] <ohaythere> Greetings.  I am on Karmic and I am constantly getting, "unable to enumerate USB device" on all USB ports for the Wireless USB adapter I have.  Apparently it's supported, but I can't get it recognized
[01:50] <airtonix> og01, natuilus then handles the automounting of the windows drive
[01:50] <bllz> alsautils refuses to start on the grounds that it has an invalid argument (error:  alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument) ... what gives?
[01:50] <bazhang> sixtila, debian being asleep is not a reason to ask here
[01:50] <sixtila> bazhang and the ubuntu says please load the kernel first - so it is problem with my grub editing
[01:50] <og01> airtonix: you can drive this guy with that if you like
[01:50] <MidoCrash> who is pro in ubuntu i want to talk with him in private
[01:50] <bllz> my understanding is that alsamixer should start up without arguments
[01:50] <og01> airtonix: i get stuck in my ways sometimes
[01:50] <tritium> MidoCrash: please ask your question here in the channel
[01:50] <bazhang> sixtila, sudo update-grub for ubuntu, no idea about debian
[01:51] <MidoCrash> tritium: why ?
[01:51] <Pytlask> I have a strange issue. Yesterday, I got DVDs working for 9.10. I was able to run all of my DVDs just fine, but only if I restarted the computer once the DVD was in the drive. As of today (with nothing having changed), most of my DVDs work just fine without restarting, but some aren't even detected (and the drive is never mounted). Any ideas?
[01:51] <og01> airtonix: though i think he should have the drive mounted already at /mnt/windows
[01:51] <mespejel> bazhang, for example mp3 to acc
[01:51] <bazhang> mespejel, you mean aac?
[01:51] <tritium> !pm | MidoCrash
[01:51] <mespejel> bazhang, yeah
[01:51] <airtonix> og01, dragondaddy the first thing to work out if automounting will work is if you see extra drives in nautilus at computer://
[01:51] <xfact> can anybody help me: How to uninstall additionally added software in Ubuntu (8.10 LTS)
[01:52] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  depends on how you installed it..
[01:52] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  if you used teh package maanger.. then use the package manager to remove it.
[01:52] <airtonix> og01, dragondaddy if you try double clicking on the drive that you suspect is your windows drive, from memory i think it then sees that it can't read the partition type and ses that it is a ntfs partition and offers to download the ntfs drivers.
[01:52] <mespejel> bazhang, so any idea?
[01:53] <og01> airtonix: will the automount happen within the console
[01:53] <xfact> i installed it from a .deb pakage from a website....now how to uninstall it?
[01:53] <og01> airtonix: or is it nautulis only?
[01:53] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  use the package manager tools. search for it/remove it
[01:53] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  or use teh command line apt-get remove XXXXXX if you can recall what XXXXX is
[01:53] <ohaythere> Greetings.  I am on Karmic and I am constantly getting, "unable to enumerate USB device" in dmesg on all USB ports for the Wireless USB adapter I have.  Apparently it's supported, but I can't get it recognized, does anyone have any ideas?  Also, I have the latest updates.
[01:53] <plustax> hey guys. Im having trouble getting my computer to recognize my new ipod when I plug it in. Anyone help?
[01:53] <xfact> oh...I an use the same pakage to remove the software?
[01:53] <Dr_Willis> !apt | xfact
[01:53] <airtonix> og01, no its all intiated by nautilus i think.
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  you use the package 'name' NOT the 'filename' of the packagewahtever.deb  I belive
[01:54] <mespejel> bazhang, specially for music.. if it include video that's ok..
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> !info mc
[01:54] <protojay> anyone know of any guides to help me win at lincity-ng ?
[01:54] <airtonix> og01, dragondaddy syntax for ntfs-3g is :  ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
[01:54] <og01> airtonix: ehh no good to me really, spend too much time in console
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> protojay:  try the lincity homepage/forums perhaps?
[01:54] <protojay> no luck Dr_Willis
[01:55] <Dr_Willis> post the question to their forums perhaps. :)
[01:55] <airtonix> og01, nautilus simply takes the uuid of the partition and creates a temp folder of that name under ~/.gvfs/drive-uuid
[01:55] <AegNuddel> help
[01:55] <xfact> but i use mainly .deb packages, actually I installed avast antivirus from it's website...now I do not know how to uninstall it...
[01:55] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  .deb = debian/apt-get packages.. use the pacakge manager system/tools to add/remove them.
[01:56] <og01> airtonix: ok
[01:56] <airtonix> !info ntfsprogs | og01
[01:56] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  fire up synaptic, or some other apt-get front end and use those if you need a nice gui. Or learn the command line apt-get options
[01:56] <xfact> can you pleasee explain more, I am totally new to ubuntu...
[01:56] <og01> airtonix: and it presents this mounted folder as computer://suchandsuch
[01:56] <og01> airtonix: when does it perform the mount?
[01:56] <Dr_Willis> !apt | xfact
[01:56] <xfact> ok looking...
[01:56] <Dr_Willis> go read the guide/url the bot said. :)
[01:57] <AegNuddel> my computer did not shut down right though I thought it did and now it will not even boot from livecd
[01:57] <airtonix> og01, if you take the nautilus approach, the drive appears on the desktop and it appears under computer://
[01:57] <plustax> hey guys. Im having trouble getting my computer to recognize my new ipod when I plug it in. Anyone help?
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> !ipod
[01:57] <airtonix> og01, (i assume the same would be true of the cli approach)
[01:57] <AegNuddel> it was saying something about an error in a volume(?) I think and it keeps asking for root password
[01:58] <bazhang> plustax, which model of ipod, what version of ubuntu, have you tried rhythmbox or others
[01:58] <airtonix> plustax, if it has touched itunes 9 then you're out of luck.
[01:58] <AegNuddel> I was told not to enable that so when I did enable it briefly  switched t off
[01:58] <og01> airtonix: perhaps under the ~/Desktop maybe... but computer:// means nothing in the console
[01:58] <AegNuddel> it
[01:58] <xfact> I understand....thanks...it's not like windows xp, now i understand how to use it...thanks again :)
[01:58] <airtonix> og01, true.. the item you see on the desktop is something nautilus does (like it does with cdroms)
[01:59] <AegNuddel> so is there a default root password?
[01:59] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  'its not like windows'  - totally correct..
[01:59] <plustax> hmm
[01:59] <plustax> good call
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> AegNuddel:  theres  is no root password. Use your primary/first user and the sudo command as needed
[02:00] <airtonix> xfact, yes true, windows-update won;t update your various softwares along with the OS.
[02:00] <xfact> I heard a quote from somewhere that is "Ubuntu, safe easy and Beautiful"
[02:00] <xfact> and free
[02:00] <AegNuddel> I can't
[02:00] <ohaythere> Greetings.  I am on Karmic and I am constantly getting, "unable to enumerate USB device" in dmesg on all USB ports for the Wireless USB adapter I have.  Apparently it's supported, but I can't get it recognized, does anyone have any ideas?  Also, I have the latest updates.
[02:00] <jmyers> ohhh boy.  I managed to screw up my bootloader by changing video settings.  And now I can't get it to give me a login prompt or anything.  I've tried RtCtrl PrintScrn K, and then Ctrl Alt F1, and it's not working.
[02:00] <AegNuddel> it wll not let me login
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  buzzwords and meaningless terms/judgements.. go use it.. and decide for yourself.
[02:00] <xfact> totally seek of windows!
[02:00] <sixtila> anyone idea how i can add my contents from /boot/grub/grub.cfg of Ubuntu to the /boot/grub/grub.sfg in Debian (currently only Debian bootup)
[02:00] <sixtila> so i can boot both of them
[02:01] <moymoy> how do i change my console fonts (not the graphical terminal emulators)
[02:01] <hou5ton> my system will play the YouTube video, but won't play it when it is embedded in a web page?  any ideas?  ubuntu karmic
[02:01] <airtonix> xfact, be prepared to put aside the preconceptions you formed about your computer while using windows.
[02:01] <_Brun0_> What bechmark tools are there for Ubuntu? I'm thinking of buying a laptop and I need to stress test it before I buy it. So I'd like to test it without changing the hard disk of the seller. Can I test the laptop with a Ubuntu live cd? And if yes, what tools?
[02:01] <Dr_Willis> sixtila:  theres qways to chainload grub from one to the other..  You shoudl really decide on one OS to handle grub. and make a proper script in /etc/grub.d/XXXXX to  add teh  debian /boot/grub/whateverdebuses  to the end of  the ubuntu grub.cfg
[02:02] <Dr_Willis> sixtila:  or keep both on their own hd's and let each handle their own grub.  and chainload, or select what hd to boot from bios
[02:02] <airtonix> _Brun0_, there is several. but the one that you would use as a equiuvilant to 3dmark type stuff will require at least 2-4gb of space.
[02:02] <Dr_Willis> moymoy:  theres a config file for the default consiole font, or the fbset command can change them on the fly
[02:03] <xfact> well, but ubuntu should support much more apps, that's windows, we have to believe windows till the largest used OS....
[02:03] <og01> airtonix: thanks for the explination, i know about the funkery that was annoying me when i first installed ubuntu
[02:03] <Dr_Willis> moymoy:  if the framebuffer console is enabled.
[02:03] <sixtila> Dr_Willis i want to be able to choose them between startup (current only debian grub is in MBR)
[02:03] <xfact> so i have ubuntu windows both on my pc
[02:03] <moymoy> Dr_Willis: thanks, i'll go read the man pages for fbset
[02:03] <Dr_Willis> sixtila:  time to learn some grub and scriptiong I think
[02:03] <AegNuddel> ok attempting so I can say exactly what it does
[02:03] <AegNuddel> mount of filesystem failed.
[02:03] <Dr_Willis> sixtila:  I often use 2 hard drives and my pc's  bios's menu feature to select what hd to boot.. makes things easier
[02:04] <airtonix> _Brun0_, (my first two google searches : http://www.reviewlinux.com/forums/news/11799-benchmark-your-system-in-ubuntu.html && http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=177234 )
[02:04] <Dr_Willis> I dont see the Point of having both installed.. :) but do what you want
[02:04] <AegNuddel> A maintenance shell will now be started.
[02:04] <sixtila> Dr_Willis i have both in 2 partitions in the same HD
[02:04] <moymoy> Dr_Willis: i don't have a command fbset on my system, what config should i edit to change the font?
[02:04] <Dr_Willis> !find fbset
[02:04] <xfact> google chrome for linux is nice working on my ubuntu
[02:04] <AegNuddel> CONTROL-D wll terminate this shell and re-try.
[02:04] <Dr_Willis> !info fbset
[02:04] <airtonix> _Brun0_, the rest for you : http://www.google.com.au/search?q=ubuntu+benchmark
[02:04] <Dr_Willis> moymoy:  install it..  if yoy want
[02:04] <jmyers> anyone help me with the keyboard commands to get a login prompt?  My screen is unresponsive, but my keyboard isn't locked up.
[02:04] <AegNuddel> Give root password for mantenance
[02:05] <AegNuddel> so what do I do?
[02:05] <Dr_Willis> AegNuddel:  give your initial users password I imagine.
[02:05] <gdiz_> is there a program for ubuntu that installs desktop appearance packages or something like that?
[02:05] <airtonix> jmyers, assuming you are using karmic ?
[02:05] <jmyers> airtonix: yes
[02:05] <AegNuddel> tried
[02:05] <AegNuddel> does not work
[02:05] <airtonix> gdiz_, you drag n drop properly created theme tar.gz onto your appearance manager
[02:05] <airtonix> gdiz_, or just extract them to ~/.themes
[02:06] <xfact> ok somebody please suggest me that should i really need to use an Antivirus on my  Ubuntu? Is that useful?
[02:06] <cfedde> xfact: typicaly we don't run anti-virus on linux.
[02:06] <gdiz_> airtonix, ok sounds good.  is there a repository or place to find different themes?
[02:06] <xfact> thats mean no need to worry about virus?
[02:06] <airtonix> gdiz_, i regularly search through deviantart they have asection
[02:07] <cfedde> xfact: if your linux system is beeing used to serve windows boxes then it might be of some value.
[02:07] <gdiz_> awesome, thanks.
[02:07] <airtonix> gdiz_, (gtk, metacity, emerald ) themes go in ~/.themes, icons go in ~/.icons , and fonts go in ~/.fonts
[02:07] <PoppingFlamingo> Anyone know how to stop Ubuntu from having my system boot up with the sound being muted by default?
[02:07] <xfact> xface: i am just using ubuntu alongside with windows
[02:07] <Dr_Willis> moymoy:  seems to be in /etc/default/console-setup on 9.10
[02:08] <_Brun0_> airtonix, =)
[02:08] <xfact> i think windows virus should not work on ubuntu linux
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  i only use linux av software to scan my windows 'side' of the pc every so often
[02:08] <airtonix> jmyers, can you access the terminal ?
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  so odds are you dont need to worry about it
[02:08] <cfedde> xfact: it is possible to run windows viruses on a linux box inside some kind of emulator.  Say wine, or virtualbox.
[02:08] <airtonix> jmyers, ctrl alt f2 then type : sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:08] <cbrf> After a clean install of ubuntu 9.10 (and before when I tried to update) my screen becomes interlaced and fades in between colors before I get an error message about my vid config
[02:09] <jmyers> airtonix: not by the methods I THINK are right.  I tried RtCtrl PrSc K, then Ctrl Alt F1
[02:09] <_Brun0_> When I install programs into Ubuntu running live cd, they are installed to the RAM disk and erased after reboot?
[02:09] <xfact> well now I can say gladly that 'virus' was a 'windows thing' LOL!!!!
[02:09] <cbrf>  I have an HP pavilion laptop with an integrated 945gm intel chip
[02:09] <jacob_> hi my ubuntu installed this video driver NVIDIA Driver Version:173:14:20 how do i update it to a newer one?
[02:09] <maco> airtonix: its alt+sysrq+k not ctrl... and prsc may or may not = sysrq
[02:10] <airtonix> maco, > jmyers
[02:10] <xfact> ok anybody have any idea about what is actually 'ALSA'??
[02:10] <cfedde> xfact: it is possible for linux systems to get viruses.  it's jut uncommon because the operational models are so different
[02:10] <cbrf> I have ubuntu in a kind of safe mode, but I really want to get the graphics working
[02:10] <xfact> hummm...
[02:10] <ohaythere> Greetings.  I am on Karmic and I am constantly getting, "unable to enumerate USB device" in dmesg on all USB ports for the Wireless USB adapter I have.  Apparently it's supported, but I can't get it recognized, does anyone have any ideas?  Also, I have the latest updates.
[02:10] <airtonix> xfact, http://linux.about.com/cs/linux101/g/alsa.htm
[02:10] <jmyers> airtonix: I also tried Alt, and SysRq is the same button.  No response.
[02:10] <jacob_> hi my ubuntu installed this video driver NVIDIA Driver Version:173:14:20 how do i update it to a newer one? also using ubuntu 9.10
[02:11] <switch10_> cbrf: what kind of video card do you have?
[02:11] <airtonix> jmyers see what maco said
[02:11] <cbrf> 945gm intel
[02:11] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  alsa is the 'sound card drivers' system
[02:11] <ohaythere> jacob_: use System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and choose the latest one from there.
[02:11] <cbrf> works fine with 9.04
[02:11] <jmyers> airtonix: I did, and I have tried RtAlt SysRq K, no response.
[02:12] <cbrf> works fine with tons of distros actually...
[02:12] <gdiz_> airtronix, thanks once again.  but it should work if I drag it on to the appearance manager?
[02:12] <airtonix> jmyers, did you try ctrl alt printscreen ?
[02:12] <AegNuddel> more of the issue: Inodes that were part of an orphan linked list found
[02:12] <jmyers> airtonix: just did, no go.
[02:12] <Dr_Willis> jmyers:  i was thinking i had to use the left alt. left ctrl  'sysreq' key then K
[02:12] <xfact> ok alsa is linux sound architecture ....ok but i have realtek sound card, but here in Ubuntu, it's showing 'alsa mixer/driver' etc...is that correct?
[02:12] <maco> jmyers: no *dont* use right alt
[02:12] <maco> jmyers: right alt is altgr, NOT normal alt
[02:12] <maco> jmyers: you have to use left alt
[02:13] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  alsa handles all the sound cards..    so im niot sure where yiou are 'looking' at to see what its 'showing'
[02:13] <Maletor> How do I properly set up the fans on my computer with Ubuntu?
[02:13] <jmyers> airtonix, Dr_Willis, maco, no succuess using left Alt either.
[02:13] <xfact> in sound device section...
[02:14] <airtonix> jmyers, so you can't run a terminal ? alt f2 > gnome-terminal > sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (enter password)
[02:14] <AegNuddel> it says /dev/sda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY
[02:14] <AegNuddel> BUT i CAN'T
[02:14] <jmyers> airtonix: is it just Alt F2?
[02:14] <xfact> i am asking so many questions because i am just 16 hrs old with ubuntu experience, feeling unknown...
[02:14] <airtonix> jmyers, pretty sure by default
[02:14] <jmyers> airtonix: because I've been doing Ctrl Alt F1 and F2
[02:15] <airtonix> jmyers, alt f2 by default opens the gnome-run-dialog so you can type gnome-terminal
[02:15] <airtonix> jmyers, left alt that is
[02:15] <arghh2d2> hello
[02:15] <switch10_> how do restart x with ubuntu 9.10?  is it still Ctrl+Alt+Bksp?
[02:16] <xfact> is here any setting reverse system exists like 'system restore' in windows?
[02:16] <AegNuddel> how do I run anything manually when it won't let me?!
[02:16] <Dr_Willis> AegNuddel:  i normally boot a live cd and do fscking when  faceing those sort of tasks.
[02:16] <JoeSomebody> hello, is there a way to get a list of everything i installed (into karmic) ? and what is the recommended way to back up the entire ubuntu drive (boot stuff and all) ?
[02:16] <jmyers> I am SO going to print all these keyboard commands when I get this thing back up again. lol
[02:16] <Quan-Time> xfact: everything you knew about drivers and how an OS handles thing, are completely different to MS based OS..
[02:16] <cbrf> switch10 do you know how to fix this?
[02:16] <matthew12> I'm having a difficult time understanding how to access my host files from my guest maching (xp) in virtualbox, (yes, airtonix, i'm back :-( )
[02:16] <Dr_Willis> !clone | JoeSomebody

[02:16] <AegNuddel> the lcecd won't boot
[02:17] <AegNuddel> livecd
[02:17] <Quan-Time> matthew12: how do you mean access ? sudo wont do it ?
[02:17] <airtonix> matthew12, did you open up the virtual media manager from virtual box?
[02:17] <AegNuddel> I have NO idea why
[02:17] <AegNuddel> does it need to be another version?
[02:17] <matthew12> airtonix...no is that under settings?
[02:17] <Dr_Willis> matthew12:  3 ways (at least) #1 you could just install samba  and set up windows shares..  , 2) Or install ssh/winscp   3) read the virtualbox docs and learn about how to enable the special virtualbox 'shared directory' feature.
[02:18] <xfact> well, my main question is is here any setting reverse  system exists, cause if i have done any major mistakes,
[02:18] <Dr_Willis> AegNuddel:  what does the live cd do  exactly?
[02:18] <switch10_> cbrf: no sorry.  im pretty good with the ATI cards
[02:18] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  not in any broad way..  it all depends on what you messed up
[02:18] <AegNuddel> just stops at the login screen
[02:18] <jmyers> Not sure what I did, but managed to get my grub screen back. *whew*  now trying to load in generic mode
[02:18] <matthew12> Quan-Time...I'm trying to use the zune software and all my music is on my host machine.
[02:18] <Quan-Time> matthew12: ah.. ok
[02:18] <Dr_Willis> AegNuddel:   the live cd goes to  the gdm login screen? that is weird
[02:19] <AegNuddel> no

[02:19] <digitalaxis> How do you chmod your whole home directory?
[02:19] <Maletor> Can anybody give their expertise of K10 thermal drivers and lm-sensors?
[02:19] <AegNuddel> where it says install, try, etc.
[02:19] <Maletor> I have an AMD 945 and lm-sesnors has a serious problem getting drivers...
[02:19] <Dr_Willis> digitalaxis:  sudo chmod -R whatever      (or similer)
[02:19] <xfact> i think i am already done something wrong in software source section with the links, cause any update or install process not working...what to do?
[02:19] <xfact> :(
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  give the channel detailas as to whats not working.. and pasetbin your /etc/apt/sources.list file  (install/use teh pastebinit command or a pastebin web site)
[02:20] <AegNuddel> when I try to put an option t freezes

[02:20] <AegNuddel> it
[02:21] <moymoy> Dr_Willis: thanks! now my consoles look wonderful
[02:21] <jmyers> ok, got to my login, and restored my backup of xorg.conf, and it's still doing the same thing. :(
[02:21] <Dr_Willis> moymoy:  lovely. :) I normally disable the framebuffer. :P
[02:21] <airtonix> matthew12, sorry actually thats wrong. you need to get the settings panel of you virtual machine.
[02:22] <digitalaxis> dr_willis: I did that, but i still get  "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "World of Warcraft"." when i try to open it
[02:22] <Dr_Willis> AegNuddel:  you mean to say that 'any' of the grub menu item/options  on the live cd. freeze the system
[02:22] <airtonix> jmyers, using gnome ?
[02:22] <Maletor> Help anyone?
[02:22] <Dr_Willis> digitalaxis:  i would guess you did somthing wrong,   check ownership of the directory and what permissions are on it.
[02:22] <jmyers> airtonix: yessir
[02:22] <digitalaxis> Dr_Willis,  I was told to tell you it is stopping at .gvfs
[02:22] <AegNuddel> Dr_Willis: yes
[02:23] <Dr_Willis> # Hopefully fix the ownership of the users files to be owned by the user.
[02:23] <airtonix> jmyers, system > preferences > keyboard > layout tab > layout options > key sequence to kill x server
[02:23] <Dr_Willis> find ~ -user "root" -exec sudo chown -v "$USER"."$USER" {} +
[02:23] <jmyers> airtonix: I can't get into gnome.  It locks at the splash screen, the one with the glowing ubuntu symbol
[02:23] <Dr_Willis> digitalaxis:  gvfs is a special  directory.. so you need to skip that one.. You could do that perhaps by exiting to the console.
[02:23] <xfact> please give me any link or something where i can read about it with details,  i don't much understand coding and using terminal.
[02:23] <Dr_Willis> digitalaxis:  then try the command
[02:23] <AegNuddel> any ideas?
[02:24] <matthew12> ok what do i do in the settings panel...I'm sorry, i can imagine what it's like trying to explain something that is probably pretty simple to someone who just doesn't get it.
[02:24] <Dr_Willis> AegNuddel:   the live cd's used to work? but now dont?
[02:24] <airtonix> jmyers, ok.
[02:24] <AegNuddel> I never had to use one on this system before Dr_Willis
[02:25] <xfact> gosh! i should have read all about ubuntu before switching!
[02:25] <Dr_Willis> !bash | xfact
[02:25] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  what are you wanting to learn about exactly?
[02:25] <switch10_> whats the problem xfact??
[02:26] <protojay> ive got wine1.1.31 on my pc, is there a way to use apt-get to upgrade to the latest 1.1.35 ?
[02:26] <airtonix> xfact, help.ubuntu.com && wiki.ubuntu.com && ubuntuguide && http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> protojay:  the winehq site often has more up to date/cutting edge repos for wine
[02:26] <xfact> good question! thwe problem is i am feeling lost in ubuntu land...
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  crawl, walk, run..... then FLY...
[02:26] <switch10_> xfact: with what exactly?
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  start somewhere.. dive in.. start reading.
[02:26] <xfact> i should read getting started with ubuntu...
[02:27] <protojay> Dr_Willis, wont that screw up my ubuntu if i just download and install it from there and not a package?
[02:27] <jtan189> is 93 degrees Celsius hot for my cpu temp?
[02:27] <xfact> from the start...
[02:27] <airtonix> xfact, also make it a point to read some of the tips and tutorials thread/forum at ubuntuforums.org
[02:27] <jmyers> airtonix: the best I can get is a terminal.  I've tried restoring my /etc/X11/xorg.conf and no luck. :/
[02:27] <Dr_Willis> protojay:  they do use the package manager system. thus its an 'unoffical repo'
[02:27] <subone> Anyone know why it takes more than one press of the space bar to play/pause a movie in gnome-mplayer?

[02:27] <protojay> i c
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> jtan189:  93C is very close to boiling.. so thats - rather warm.
[02:28] <tau> dalton good.
[02:28] <xfact> well, last question, from ubuntu 8.10 lts upgreading to ubuntu 9.10 is possible?
[02:28] <tau> dalton eu ia mandar uma carta para ti.
[02:28] <Maletor> Any help with lm-senors and amd 945 cpu?
[02:28] <airtonix> jmyers, so you have another issue, that your display setup is not working... what do you think caused the problem ?
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> xfact:  yes.. but i reccomend doing a clean instal iof 9.10
[02:28] <jtan189> Dr_Willis: could it be my fan isn't working?
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> jtan189:  or it could be the #'s getting reported are wrong.
[02:29] <jmyers> airtonix: I was fiddling with the 3d settings in System>Preferences>ATI Catalyst
[02:29] <bazhang> xfact, 8.10 is not lts, you need to go to 9.04 first
[02:29] <jtan189> Dr_Willis: well it does seem that could be right. if i touch the metal hinge of my thinkpad i burn myself
[02:29] <airtonix> jmyers, lol ati.
[02:29] <jmyers> airtonix: I NOE
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> jtan189:  that is odd..  time for  some cooling action
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> 93C = 199F.
[02:30] <xfact> well, but i downloded 8.10 lts from ubuntu website....
[02:30] <jtan189> Dr_Willis: am i risking permanent damage by running my laptop at this temp?
[02:30] <jmyers> I don't think anything over about 50 Celcius is good for a cpu
[02:30] <airtonix> jtan189, i suggest you also look at replacing the cooling paste between your cpu fan and the cpu. (get some decent stuff too)
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> jtan189:  i wouldent reccomend doing that...
[02:30] <bazhang> xfact, 8.04 is lts not 8.10
[02:31] <xfact> ok...
[02:31] <xfact> ﻿well, thanks peoples, going to read all about ubuntu, so see you later, bye :)
[02:31] <jtan189> airtonix: is it possible to reach the cpu on most thinkpad laptops like that?
[02:31] <Wolfcastle> i think 93C should cause your cpu to shut down
[02:31] <jtan189> Wolfcastle: my pc has been shutting down a lot lately
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> Wolfcastle:  yea.. thats why i find it hard to belive its actually that temp.
[02:31] <airtonix> jtan189, yes if you remove the screws and make sure you keep track of them.
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> system would shut down to save itself...
[02:32] <airtonix> jtan189, but then im not aware if you can remove the cpu from the cpu fan.
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> jtan189:  what brand laptop is this?
[02:32] <jtan189> Dr_Willis: lenovo thinkpad t400 series
[02:32] <jmyers> airtonix: I just deleted the xorg.conf file, and rebooted.  NOW, the monitors lose the signal from the soundcard, but I just heard the drum wav file for the login screen. :/
[02:32] <jmyers> lose the signal from the VIDEO card rather.
[02:33] <airtonix> jmyers, did we mention what version of ubuntu you are using ?
[02:33] <jmyers> airtonix: Karmic

[02:33] <airtonix> jmyers, have you by chance tried to use xorg-reconfigure thingy ?
[02:34] <jmyers> airtonix: nosir.  I just hit Ctrl Alt F1 and got a login prompt.
[02:34] <airtonix> jmyers, i believe it will reset your xorg.conf (but i also have heard that karmic doesn't exactly use the xorg.conf anyway)
[02:35] <jtan189> i plan on getting this laptop repaired sometime soon, just been putting it off (it's covered under a 3 year warranty)
[02:36] <AegNuddel> lol changing some boot options at least got me out of the loop
[02:36] <jmyers> airtonix: I have been able to delete xorg.conf in the past to get past video settings that screwd my system.
[02:36] <AegNuddel> but fsck won't work
[02:36] <airtonix> jtan189, do it sooner rather than later...because before you know it the warranty period will be over and these things sometimes take long enough that the ordeal leaks over the warranty period.
[02:37] <jtan189> airtonix: ok, thanks for the suggestion - i'll make sure to force myself
[02:37] <airtonix> jmyers, you mean using karmic ? or intrepid ?
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> jtan189:  theres some forum threads ive googled that mention how the ati drivers can (or might not) get the gpu fan starting.. that can cause issues it seems
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> jtan189:  http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=292875&page=8
[02:37] <jmyers> airtonix: Karmic
[02:38] <jtan189> Dr_Willis: interesting, thanks for the find - i'll check it out
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> Well goodnight all.
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> jtan189:  yea. some times Gentoo and arch linux forums/wiki pages give some neat info as well.
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> jtan189:  id try some other live cd's/newer disrtos and see if the issue is common to them all  or just ubuntu
[02:38] <AegNuddel> fsck not found
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> jtan189:  it could be lint in the fan for all we know.

[02:43] <airtonix> cslamar, ok i assume you are using the nvidia control panel >?
[02:43] <Concretesledge> can i install windows 7 over a windows 7 install without whiping out grub
[02:43] <jmyers> airtonix: thanks for the shot tho, much appreciated.

[02:43] <Concretesledge> my 9800gt is nice
[02:43] <cslamar> airtonix: i've used it and have hand edited xorg.conf as well
[02:43] <switch10_> Concretesledge: pretty sure reinstalling 7 will wipe out grub...

[02:44] <[eXception]> f.e. I dont want apache to start with my system...
[02:44] <thiebaude> Concretesledge, yep
[02:44] <airtonix> cslamar, you shouldn't need to touch xorg. but describe how you attempted to setup the dual screen with the control panel
[02:45] <Vbitz> is exacuting sudo init 1 bad
[02:46] <cslamar> well the reason i had to hand edit it was because the second screen i'm using is a vertical monitor attached to a laptop, and TwinView won't let you rotate a single monitor
[02:47] <grkblood13> does anyone know of any media servers that i can use that are compatible with the ps3?
[02:47] <cslamar> i enabled Xinerama and configured the resolutions of both monitors and then added the rotate option to xorg.conf so it would be the proper direction
[02:47] <mezquitale> !ot | grkblood13
[02:47] <airtonix> cslamar, so then you are using two separate x sessions per screen ?
[02:47] <grkblood13> how is that offtopic?
[02:48] <grkblood13> im running ubuntu
[02:48] <airtonix> cslamar, ok xinerama not 2 x sessions.
[02:48] <cslamar> airtonix: yea
[02:48] <mezquitale> youre  running ubuntu, what is the problem you are having with ubuntu?
[02:48] <grkblood13> finidnign a media player that supported to run on ubuntu that cna connect to the ps3
[02:48] <grkblood13> finding*
[02:49] <cslamar> everything works fine except that when i move the mouse over to the second screen it won't move back to the first monitor
[02:49] <jmyers> any ati video card gurus able to help me figure out which settings file I need to edit to get my gnome back? :/
[02:49] <airtonix> cslamar, and this gets both screens working and the vertical one rotated? (but you cant treat them like one coherent display)
[02:50] <cslamar> airtonix: I can one way.  I can move windows to the second monitor but cannot move them back to the first
[02:51] <airtonix> cslamar, ah ok one thing i can think of is that the way multi screens work in twinview and xinerama is that the mouse leave s one screen via a porthole and enters the next screen through any of its sides (not a porthole)... maybe the destination screen porthole is not where you expect it to be (on the adjacent side of you first monitor)
[02:51] <protojay> portal!
[02:51] <airtonix> cslamar, so perhaps try to move the cursor past all eges of the second screen.
[02:52] <cslamar> airtonix: tried that
[02:52] <airtonix> cslamar, yes it was too easy to be the solution.
[02:52] <LiteralKa> I am having problems with nvidia after I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10

[02:53] <broly> any body around know how to force a custom resolution with nvidia drivers
[02:53] <cslamar> airtonix: the really weird part is that i can move the windows back and forth but not the mouse
[02:53] <thiebaude> LiteralKa, what kind of problem would that be?
[02:53] <airtonix> cslamar, mouse refuses to leave 2nd monitor ?
[02:53] <goose> grkblood13: ushare

[02:54] <LiteralKa> thiebaude: it flashes black, and leaves behind black background after I close windows
[02:54] <goose> grkblood13: you weren't really off topic, some people in here are just nazis. I've asked similar questions before. Anyways, ushare will do what you want. Just google "ubuntu ushare"

[02:56] <goose> grkblood13: I've tried mediatomb, but I didn't like that it also hosted as HTTP, because the machine I'm using it on is not only a local server, but a public one, and I don't want the DMCA doing things to me that are not describable in this channel due to content

[02:56] <arquebus> irc_newb: where did you find that card, in an egyption tomb?
[02:56] <goose> mezquitale: cut him some slack. it was a legit question.
[02:56] <irc_newb> lol no in an old dell
[02:57] <arquebus> irc_newb: try puppylinux
[02:57] <grkblood13> i would think its obvious i would be referring to a client that was compatible running on ubuntu since i am in an ubuntu chat
[02:57] <irc_newb> is that similar?
[02:57] <mezquitale> goose,  i had to decipher the question, i thought he was having an issue with gaming system, what he actually wanted to know is an app in ubuntu that would allow him to interface with the device
[02:57] <grkblood13> server*
[02:57] <grkblood13> anyways, thanks goose
[02:57] <Pelo> irc_newb, if it don'T work right in the live cd there is little you can do about it , you'd have to reboot to finalised the fix ...
[02:57] <Maletor> what package do i want to develop rails apps with in ubuntu?
[02:57] <goose> grkblood13: yeah, don't mind him, just let it go. in any case, good luck with ushare :)
[02:57] <Maletor> the textmate of ubuntu if you will
[02:58] <arquebus> irc_newb: its a distro that supports very old hardware, you can try their channel #puppylinux
[02:58] <Pelo> irc_newb, deosn'T mean you can'T install ubuntu on that comp however, use the alternate install cd, it is text based
[02:58] <irc_newb> arquebus: kool. i'll give that a shot. thanks
[02:58] <Tia> hai smua
[02:58] <goose> mezquitale: the question seemed quite obvious to me of what he wanted to do. I'm not going to sit here and argue it with you, maybe because being a console gamer myself I'm more familiar with streaming video to console via ubuntu/ushare, but it was a legit question, no reason to get mad at grkblood13 for it
[02:59] <mezquitale> goose, no one is mad at him and youre going off topic
[03:00] <Vbitz> is changing the run level to 1 a bad idea
[03:00] <frogzoo> Vbitz: if you have to ask, yes
[03:01] <Cappy> hi again folks, still having trouble with laggy video, ati drivers are up to date (proprietary) and im on a fairly new karmic install [dual 1.6ghz cores, 1gb ram, ati radeon xpress 200m] any suggestions would be handy
[03:01] <goose> Vbitz: I wouldn't recommend it if you're not familiar with the system
[03:01] <goose> Cappy: surprisingly, I got around such an issue before by adjusting my refresh rate. have you tried that?
[03:01] <frogzoo> Cappy: glxinfo |grep -i direct
[03:01] <Vbitz> well i know that it meens single user mode
[03:01] <Vbitz> and i know how to change it
[03:02] <Vbitz> but how do i start bash once i change the runlevel
[03:02] <Cappy> frogzoo, "direct rendering: yes"
[03:03] <frogzoo> Cappy: what can I say? your driver sux?
[03:03] <dtownhero> anybody care to help me with a quick for $i do script? plz??
[03:03] <frogzoo> for x in 1 2 3 ; do echo $x ; done
[03:03] <Cappy> goose, i only have one option (in the gui) of 60hz
[03:04] <goose> heh.. "If you type 'plz' because it's shorter than 'please', I'll say 'no' because it's shorter than 'yes' " :p
[03:04] <Cappy> frogzoo, that doesnt help me.
[03:04] <youngbreezy> cant figure out how to download itunes onto my computer
[03:04] <goose> what help do you need exactly, dtownhero? I don't know much scripting, but I'll try and help
[03:04] <frogzoo> Cappy: I reckon net
[03:04] <dtownhero> goose: sorry
[03:04] <frogzoo> s/not
[03:04] <dtownhero> I have a directory of .MOD files
[03:04] <dtownhero> and I want to copy and rename all files to a .vob extension
[03:04] <goose> dtownhero: I'm just being joking :) Sorry if I gave you a different impression
[03:04] <dtownhero> here is what I have
[03:04] <binaltech> how to configure Internet in lxde via dhcp ???
[03:05] <dtownhero> for $i in $i.MOD do cp /home/jeffrey/Videos/renamed/$i.vob
[03:05] <mobi-sheep> Hi. Does anybody know the solution for "The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: Warning: Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols; Ignoring extra symbols; Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server" when I ran startx?
[03:05] <goose> dtownhero: I once saw a program for ubuntu to do that. let me see if I can find it again.
[03:05] <youngbreezy> how do i download itunes
[03:05] <dtownhero> where the variable is the original filename .MOD
[03:05] <thiebaude> !wine
[03:05] <Daughain> youngbreezy, Why would you want itunes on a linux box in the first place?? =)
[03:05] <binaltech> how to configure Internet in lxde via dhcp ???
[03:05] <airtonix> !enter | dtownhero
[03:05] <dtownhero> frogzoo: you see what's wrong with my statement there?
[03:05] <goose> !wine | youngbreezy
[03:06]  * Daughain chuckles.
[03:06] <dtownhero> airtonix: lol, uh....
[03:06] <arquebus> dtownhero- cant you just   rn *.vob *.MOD
[03:06] <youngbreezy> so i can download harry potter and the half blood prince
[03:06] <airtonix> dtownhero, try using pastebin for code examples. it keeps the coversation more coherent.
[03:06] <arquebus> dtownhero- cant you just   rn *.vob *.MOD
[03:07] <goose> dtownhero: sudo apt-get install krename
[03:07] <goose> that program has a feature which can do what you want if I'm understanding you correctly
[03:07] <dtownhero> arquebus: I would rather cp to keep the integrity of the file
[03:07] <mezquitale> dtownhero, maybe someone in #perl can you give you a hand with that one,  you have to ask here when someone who actually programs is around, your best bet would be in a programming language room like #perl
[03:07] <dtownhero> mezquitale: ok thanks
[03:07] <dtownhero> goose: I may check it out, I know there is an easy way to do this in a shell
[03:07] <fatface> why can i not use apt to install kdelibs5-dev? its saying "E: Broken packages"
[03:08] <ctmjr> youngbreezy: sure you can look on the web site you bought it from the should have directions
[03:08] <ZykoticK9> dtownhero, perhaps you're looking for something like this "for i in *.MOD; do cp $i `basename $i .MOD`.VOB; done"
[03:08] <youngbreezy> thanks ctmjr i'll try it
[03:09] <microhaxo> Which is more Resource friendly, SwiftFox or Chrome ???
[03:09] <dtownhero> ZykoticK9: yep, thanks!
[03:09] <goose> youngbreezy: if you just want ipod support, RythemBox has it. Amarok does too, but it doesn't work (for me, anyways) really well (anymore)
[03:09] <timG4> I'm trying to enable IP-Over-Firewire in Jaunty. I've removed the eth1394 module from the blacklist, but the interface still isn's showing up. Any suggestions?
[03:10] <dtownhero> ZykoticK9: probably a bad idea of me to run that on 18gigs worth of home movies :p
[03:10] <dtownhero> CPU went ^.^ REALLY?
[03:12] <youngbreezy> thanks goose
[03:12] <goose> quite welcome :)
[03:12] <microhaxo> Is swiftfox the best choice for a Netbook?
[03:12] <dtownhero> I always think of an easy way to do something (may not know how exactly) but never the consequences of just doing it the hard way... /facepalm
[03:12] <xfact> quickly tell me in which directory of filesystem all the application files get stored after installation?
[03:13] <xfact> ﻿quickly tell me in which directory of file system all the application files get stored after installation?
[03:13] <terrorink> lol
[03:13] <xfact> everyone sleeping?
[03:13] <airtonix> xfact, programs don't get installed to a central location
[03:14] <nellie> ctmjr,  im back and I tried what you said and it works till I reboot the laptop and then it dose it again
[03:14] <terrorink> xfact are u a windows user /
[03:14] <xfact> yes...
[03:14] <airtonix> xfact, you might benefit from installing apt-file and using it like thus to discover : 1) which package contains what file 2) where files are located for a package
[03:14] <xfact> new in here
[03:14] <terrorink> :)
[03:14] <terrorink> yea linux is nothing like windows at all
[03:15] <airtonix> !info apt-file | xfact
[03:15] <terrorink> linux is pretty windows well it smells bad
[03:15] <adminewb1> !virtualizers
[03:15] <ctmjr> nellie: sorry to hear that, your using gnome?
[03:15] <shushek> hello friends! good morning
[03:16] <nellie> ctmjr,  yes im on gnome
[03:16] <nellie> ctmjr,  it is only firefox
[03:16] <terrorink> !unified kernel
[03:16] <terrorink> :( it doesnt know about it :(
[03:16] <nellie> ctmjr,  it is very very strange lol
[03:17] <bllz> I have an intel HDA chipset (VT1708B) that is not listed in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz ... what can I do?  The sound works but I cannot control volume or mute.
[03:17] <u-max> hello
[03:17] <Cappy> ok folks, ive uninstalled the ati drivers, now how do i install the open source drivers?
[03:17] <xfact> well, I just want to know, like in windows after installing a software it's saved in 'Program Files'  in C:\ drive.....here also (i think) all the application saves in a specific directory...I just want to know the point.
[03:17] <ctmjr> nellie: yes it is
[03:18] <nellie> ctmjr,  did both commands you said and it works for a bit or untill I reboot and when it looses the minimize and close it also covers my apps, places, system so I can not access untill I file and close firefox
[03:18] <arquebus> Cappy: open source drivers dont even support 3D acceleration, I have no idea why anyone would even use them
[03:19] <maco> arquebus: yes they do...
[03:19] <chrizthop> halo
[03:19] <frogzoo> arquebus: foss fundamentalists mostly
[03:19] <arquebus> maco- in newer ati cards
[03:19] <maco> arquebus: there are cards such as the radeon 9250 that *only* have 3D if you use the open ATI drivers and freaking *fall over* if you use fglrx
[03:19] <Cappy> arquebus, i dont want 3d acceleration, i just want a video output that isnt laggy to the point of being unusable
[03:20] <bllz> Cappy:  uh.. you may not want the open source drivers then
[03:20] <dtownhero> ZykoticK9: what I had would have worked with the * had I had the ; after the commands, right?
[03:20] <ctmjr> nellie: hold on will see what i can find if metacity was the cause then it should effect all windows not just firefox
[03:20] <nellie> ctmjr, my irc exchat and all other windows has minimize and close and is working ok
[03:20] <Tonren> Can anyone help me get wifi running on my Dell Inspiron 8600 with Intel Pro/Wireless 2200b/g?  I can get "radio on", but I can't see any wireless networks, and thus can't connect.
[03:21] <ZykoticK9> dtownhero, actually it was really the basename addition that probably helped...
[03:21] <adminewb1> xfact, afaik, linux does not do things the Windows way; after installing a linux package, its contents get spread around various places in the file system
[03:21] <bllz> Tonren:  did you check to see if your wireless adapter was supported?
[03:21] <dtownhero> ZykoticK9: really
[03:21] <Cappy> bllz, if thats the case, im looking for a windows disk. because this is just bullshit, ive tried 4 distros and ive been through forums and irc for all of them, and no one can help me.
[03:21] <maco> Cappy: please don't swear
[03:21] <Tonren> bllz: How do I do that?
[03:21] <Cappy> maco, sorry, but im kinda frustrated.
[03:22] <maco> Cappy: if you uninstall fglrx it should revert to the open drivers
[03:22] <bllz> Cappy:  well it helps to know exactly what the problem is lol  i'm listening
[03:22] <dtownhero> ZykoticK9: sorry just trying to learn to do it on my own. I can edit other peoples scripts but don't understand the entire makings of it yet
[03:22] <bllz> Tonren:  check the ubuntu community documentation.  there's a full list somewhere. google is your friend
[03:22] <Tonren> Cappy: What's yer situation?
[03:22] <Tonren> bllz: I've been Googling for 45 minutes.
[03:22] <maco> bllz:  and Cappy described *exactly* what happens with the 9250 with open v. closed. the closed drivers get 1 frame every few seconds, and the open drivers fly
[03:22] <niosoft> hi i am facing problem  fingureorint reader
[03:22] <terrorink> YOUR ALL STINKY CHEESE HEADS
[03:22] <ZykoticK9> dtownhero, that's the best way to start scripting -- steal other's work and customize it too your own :)  that's how i started anyway
[03:23] <bllz> maco:  I must have missed it
[03:23] <Cappy> tonren, bllz, my display is VERY laggy, and i cant work out what i need to do to speed things up
[03:23] <terrorink> YOUR ALL STINKY CHEESE HEADS !!!!!!!!!!
[03:23] <bllz> terrorink:  i think you misspelled "you're"
[03:23] <maco> bllz: im responding to "you may not want the open drivers then" when Cappy said they want something that doesnt lag horribly.  the closed ones are extremely laggy on some cards
[03:23] <terrorink> oops :\
[03:23] <Tonren> Cappy: Could you provide some details about which version you're on, and what kind of computer you are running, please?
[03:23] <terrorink> YOU'RE ALL STINKY CHEESE HEADS !!!!!!!!!! better ?
[03:24] <IdleOne> !ot | terrorink
[03:24] <IdleOne> also drop the caps
[03:24] <Cappy> tonren, no probs, i did mention that earlier... let me find it
[03:24] <bllz> Tonren;  that's why I suggested you look at the community documentation
[03:24] <thiebaude> terrorink, please stop
[03:24] <microhaxo> Im trying to change my color depth from 32bit to 16bit but it says i have no xorg.conf, just a Xwrapper.config
[03:24] <Tonren> Cappy: I just came in ^_^
[03:24] <microhaxo> whats goin on/
[03:24] <microhaxo> ?
[03:24] <terrorink> lol
[03:24] <Tonren> Can a mod ban terrorink please?
[03:24] <bllz> Cappy:  hmm. what kind of video adapter do you have again?
[03:24] <Tonren> bllz: By "community documentation", do you mean help.ubuntu.com?
[03:24] <microhaxo> Im in etc\X11 and i dont have a xorg.conf, why?
[03:24] <maco> stilton cheese?
[03:24] <bllz> Tonren:  yes
[03:24] <Cappy> dual 1.6ghz cores, 1gb of ram, radeon xpress 200m
[03:24] <terrorink> thats right ban me for joking around
[03:25] <maco> microhaxo: new versions of X dont use one by default
[03:25] <microhaxo> Oh
[03:25] <capt_blackwood> take the humor somewhere else
[03:25] <terrorink> and after that shoot me in the face im actually helping people well being disruptive
[03:25] <maco> microhaxo: they try to auto-detect your hardware's capabilities and go from there
[03:25] <maco> being disruptive != helpful, sorry
[03:25] <IdleOne> terrorink: if you feel like joking around. Please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:25] <microhaxo> my hardware can easily handle 32bit, i just want to save some battery
[03:25] <microhaxo> cut rendering in half.
[03:25] <terrorink> are u kidding me idle ?
[03:25] <IdleOne> terrorink: no I'm not
[03:25] <bllz> Cappy:  google is generally a good start:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=286527
[03:25] <bllz> have you tried that?
[03:26] <terrorink> so ban me i dgaf
[03:26] <Cappy> bllz, ive been searching the forums all day and im not getting anywhere
[03:26] <ctmjr> nellie: is firefox open now with window borders working?
[03:26] <maco> microhaxo: also, i think default is 24bit... im not sure if xrandr can change the # of bits though.. hmm
[03:26] <bllz> Cappy:  did you look at the link I sent?
[03:26] <Cappy> im looking now
[03:26] <maco> microhaxo: xrandr, if youre gonna ask, is the command to change resolutions and such on the fly
[03:26] <bllz> Cappy:  there's an apparent solution at the bottom of page 1
[03:26] <microhaxo> Well, if i cant really (SEE) a difference between them i dont mind.
[03:27] <Cappy> ok, ill have a look
[03:27] <microhaxo> And i only want to do it if it will save a noticeable amount of battery life.
[03:27] <Maletor> how do i make it so that on my LAN i can go to myserver.local instead of 10.0.1.10 and access the same web page?
[03:27] <nellie> ctmjr, dont know . all i know is that it fills whole screen and cant use bottom toolbar or top tool bar
[03:27] <Cappy> i'll give that a whirl
[03:27] <bllz> good luck
[03:27] <maco> microhaxo: i dont know if it will. have you played with powrtop and http://lesswatts.org ?
[03:27] <maco> microhaxo: powertop, i mena
[03:27] <maco> *mean
[03:27] <maco> wow i cant type!
[03:27] <FloodBot2> maco: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:28] <thiebaude> lol
[03:28] <bllz> Cappy:  for future reference, with hardware issues, it's generally a good idea to just fire off "hardwaremodelname ubuntu" in google
[03:28] <microhaxo> No, i didnt want to have any more programs running on startup
[03:28] <microhaxo> lol
[03:28] <bllz> Cappy:  if nothing else, that'll usually tell you if the hardware is supported (at least in theory)
[03:28] <xfact> can anybody tell me exactly where to upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10?
[03:28] <bastidrazor> maco: i was tempted to give you an !enter just to cap it off :P
[03:28] <maco> microhaxo: powertop doesnt run on startup. you can run it, and itll tell you what's sucking battery life, and then you can tweak from there
[03:28] <bllz> Cappy:  good news is it appears taht your card is supported... in theory
[03:28] <Dr0> how can i manually turn on my wireless connection for ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop?
[03:28] <maco> bastidrazor: heh yeah i type too fast for the floodbot it seems
[03:28] <m0rph1as> xfact, ALT + F2 -> Type ' update-manager -d ' and press enter

[03:29] <CVirus> Where shall I put a certain python script so that it is executed everytime Gnome starts ?
[03:29] <Tonren> bllz: Sorry... I can't seem to find such a list.
[03:29] <IdleOne> adminewb1: synaptic doesn't do distro upgrade
[03:29] <microhaxo> Ahh, nice
[03:29] <Tonren> Can anyone help me get wifi running on my Dell Inspiron 8600 with Intel Pro/Wireless 2200b/g?  I can get "radio on", but I can't see any wireless networks, and thus can't connect.
[03:29] <microhaxo> i'll get it.
[03:29] <rww> ubottu: startup | CVirus
[03:29] <adminewb1> IdleOne, oops my mistake
[03:29] <nellie> ctmjr,  oh and no windows are showing on bottom toolbar so I can not click to minimize or maximize any of the programs that are running
[03:30] <bllz> Tonren:  http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+wifi+cards+supported
[03:30] <CVirus> rww: how can this be done from the command line ?
[03:30] <IdleOne> !lmgtfy | bllz
[03:30] <IdleOne> hmm
[03:30] <bllz> bawwwww
[03:30] <rww> !google | bllz
[03:31] <nellie> ctmjr,  ok it is working again but still no programs show as running on bottom bar
[03:31] <rww> !lmgtfy is <alias> google
[03:31] <Tonren> bllz: Thank you; I had not tried that particular configuration of words yet.
[03:31] <maco> nellie: perhaps you dont have a window list applet on that panel?
[03:32] <rww> CVirus: I don't know.
[03:32] <bllz> Tonren:  np =)  I was mainly being cheeky anyway
[03:32] <Cappy> bllz, i cant find the mentioned package.
[03:32] <ctmjr> nellie: is this a new install?
[03:32] <nellie> maco,  how do I fix that lol? wish I knew what happend to cause this all to go funny
[03:32] <nellie> ctmjr,  no
[03:32] <Tonren> bllz: Watch out being cheeky with people having technical issues... they're rarely in the right state of mind to take it in the intended spirit ;-)
[03:33] <maco> nellie: right click on the panel and go to Add to Panel, then pick Window List applet
[03:33] <bllz> Tonren:  this is true, but it's in my nature =)
[03:33] <Tonren> bllz: Also, my card is allegedly supported, and allegeedly "works out of the box", but... it isn't.
[03:33] <bllz> Tonren:  hmm... well this is good news =)
[03:34] <nellie> ctmjr,  was working ok till a day ago.
[03:34] <bllz> Tonren:  excuse the possibly offensive question... but have you googled "cardmodel ubuntu" ?
[03:34] <bllz> Tonren:  aslo, what is the card model?
[03:34] <nellie> maco,  thanks that solved that
[03:34] <capt_blackwood> Tonren, what's your card
[03:34] <Dr0> how can i manually turn on my wireless connection for ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop?
[03:34] <Tonren> bllz: capt_blackwood: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)
[03:34] <Tonren> bllz: I have ipw2200 installed & enabled
[03:34] <nellie> ctmjr,  i will reboot now and see if all is ok
[03:34] <maco> nellie: great
[03:34] <bllz> Tonren:  oh boy... intel ...
[03:34] <bllz> Tonren:  ok give me 2 seconds
[03:34] <Tonren> bllz: And, yeah, that was the first thing I googled :-)
[03:34] <sryque> CVirus, check the ~/.config/autostart directory
[03:35] <capt_blackwood> No offence, but intel haven't been the best in Video...i cannot help ya there
[03:35] <niosoft> how to enable fingure print reader on ubuntu9-10
[03:35] <bllz> Cappy:  hmm... indeed i can't find it either.

[03:37] <sryque> CVirus, that is where your startup entries would be located.  They would be similar to desktop icon files.
[03:37] <microhaxo> Does powertop automatically fix things or is it temporary?
[03:37] <airtonix> niosoft, have you bothered to use google first ?

I get the error "Failed to retrieve share list from server" I have edited the samba/smb.comf file and changed the Workgroup name to the workgroup of my network. I have also rebooted samba as instructed, but I still get the same error.
[03:37] <CVirus> sryque: fine
[03:37]  * m0rph1as knows that the average person actually consults a live person before they use a search engine for they fear finding the wrong answer.
[03:37] <maco> microhaxo: it is not permanent
[03:38] <adminewb1> !vmware
[03:38] <microhaxo> Damn, i thought i got lucky when it said "press U or whatever to do it"
[03:38] <maco> microhaxo: well...one thing is. if you tell it to turn off cd drive polling, THAT is permanent (until you hunt down the command to re-enable it)
[03:38] <airtonix> raymond, are you requiring authentication ? are the windows machines xp ?
[03:38] <bllz> Cappy:  this appears to be what you want.  It says that the open source radeon driver works better and gives all the relevant details
[03:38] <microhaxo> So i would have to manually do it's suggestions?
[03:38] <Tonren> m0rph1as: I Googled "folk cough remedy" before asking a human being, and now I'm dead!
[03:38] <bllz> Cappy:  help.ubuntu.com is always my next stop after google... I'd bookmark it =)
[03:38] <airtonix> !who | microhaxo
[03:38] <maco> microhaxo: yeah...i think it tells you the commands to do those things though. you could always throw them into a script that runs when you login
[03:38] <m0rph1as> Tonren, lol
[03:39] <sryque> CVirus, if the folder does not exist, its because you have no user-defined startup entries.  You can create the directory and add them manually, although if you're unfamiliar, I would recommend adding one through System>Preferences>Startup Applications.  You should find the folder and startup entry have been created.
[03:39] <nellie> ctmjr,  ok after reboot it seems to be ok, i open firefox and minimize and maximize and even restart it a few times and all seems ok
[03:39] <microhaxo> maco: lol, ill re run it and hope it tells me the same things.
[03:39] <maco> microhaxo: or just wait til your next reboot
[03:39] <nellie> ctmjr,  so thanks for help
[03:39] <CVirus> sryque: thanks
[03:40] <maco> microhaxo: i can also tell you from experience that disabling some drivers can help. when in a car if i dont need audio and well..theres definitely no internet access... i "modprobe -r" my sound drivers, wireless drivers, and ethernet drivers
[03:40] <nellie> maco,  and thanks for the help to get apps showing again
[03:40] <maco> nellie: no problem
[03:40] <raymond> yes, XP (I'm slowly converting all my XP machine to Ubuntu). I am unable to connect to my modem/router via places>network but i can login via the web browser and browse the net (I am using the connection now)
[03:40] <nellie> hope it dose not go funny again :)
[03:40] <maco> raymond: can you login to the router through the browser? thats how i usually handle mine
[03:40] <airtonix> raymond, have you turned on the simple sharing option in XP ?
[03:40] <bllz> Cappy:  any  luck with that?
[03:40] <ctmjr> nellie: me to glad it is working never heard of that one before
[03:41] <bllz> Tonren:  any luck?
[03:41] <raymond> airtonix: No.
[03:41] <microhaxo> maco: one of the suggestions was USB auto suspend. I would assume that i would need to disable this on each boot since i cant really hardcode enable it.
[03:41] <Tonren> bllz: Not yet, no.
[03:41] <airtonix> raymond, i recommend doing so if you dont need authentication
[03:41] <maco> microhaxo: right
[03:41] <airtonix> raymond, http://www.practicallynetworked.com/SHARING/XP/FILESHARING.HTM
[03:41] <bllz> Tonren:  can you give me the card model again?  (too lazy to scroll up)
[03:41] <maco> microhaxo: and some devices may prevent it anyway. for example, fingerprint reader or webcam
[03:41] <raymond> maco: I have a usb drive in the modem which i can usually access for my shared files, I use it like a filer server.
[03:42] <maco> raymond: oh.
[03:42] <Cappy> bllz, any luck with what?
[03:42] <bllz> Cappy:  taht link I gave you
[03:42] <Cappy> im looking at it
[03:42] <bllz> Cappy:  the help.ubuntu.com one
[03:42] <nellie> im just glad people are nice enough to help each other out on here... thanks again :)
[03:42] <Tonren> bllz: capt_blackwood: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)
[03:42] <bllz> Cappy:  oh okay
[03:43] <bllz> Tonren:  and the problem is you do not see any wifi networks appear?
[03:43] <raymond> BRB, I'll remove the sharing off one drive and then I'll enable it as per the link provided.
[03:43] <Tonren> bllz: Correct.
[03:43] <airtonix> raymond, so the issue is not problems with sharing between ubuntu and other xp clients but rather an issue with seeing this usb drive connected to your router ?
[03:44] <Tonren> bllz: I tried setting the essid manually on the command line, and it seemed to "take", but it didn't read the access point, so it was all moot.
[03:44] <bllz> Tonren: hmm hang on
[03:44] <niosoft> v how to enable fingure print reader on ubuntu9-10 how to enable fingure print reader on ubuntu9-10
[03:44] <bllz> Tonren:  you're on 9.10, correct?
[03:44] <Tonren> bllz: I can't seem to find anything dated more recently than 2006.
[03:44] <Tonren> bllz: That's right... literally just installed.
[03:44] <bllz> Tonren:  yeah that tends to happen when they're declared as working out of the box...
[03:45] <bllz> Tonren:  silly question, but did you check your hardware driver manager?
[03:45] <Tonren> bllz: The GUI thingummy?
[03:45] <bllz> Tonren:  yes, jocky-gtk
[03:45] <bllz> !jocky
[03:45] <Tonren> I will duly launch it now
[03:45] <bllz> erm...
[03:45] <bllz> !jockey
[03:46] <bllz> wat? really?
[03:46] <bllz> !jockey-gtk
[03:46] <Tonren> bllz: Says there are no proprietary drivers in use on this system
[03:46] <datz> Hi, when I try to install 9.10 over my 8.04 install, it gets partway through, then the screen starts flashing, and everything halts.  Can somebody help me with this?
[03:46] <airtonix> !info jocky-gtk
[03:46] <bllz> that's a load of bull
[03:46] <airtonix> !info jockey-gtk
[03:46] <bllz> hmm
[03:47] <bllz> Tonren:  did you run all your updates?  there's an issue whereby drivers do not appear in the manager until after updates, sometimes
[03:47] <bllz> Tonren:  but still... it should run out of the box
[03:47] <Tonren> bllz: Oh, you're going to make me hunt down my ethernet cord and update using my router, aren't you?  You cruel, cruel man.
[03:47] <bllz> Tonren:  yeah... and that goes for the hardware driver manager too
[03:48] <Pelo> anyone good with ssh keypair ? I use to have it working but now it doesn'T anymore and it's screwing up my backups,  I keep deleting it and redoing it it but no go , I'M still asked for a password
[03:48] <bllz> Tonren:  btw, it's usually worth mentioning if you're not connected to the internets at all.  Ubuntu relies heavily on having an internet connection
[03:48] <Tonren> bllz: Okay... I'll find my ethernet.
[03:48] <bllz> Tonren:  ok
[03:49] <raymond> airtonix: No, I need to access the other computer which will be under ubuntu (Would it be easier if I fired it up under Ubuntu and tried to connect to it). In relation to the drive in the router, I thought that I'd mention it in case it had any bearing.

[03:49] <marks256> how can i partition a drive ext4 via the terminal (no GUI)
[03:49] <airtonix> raymond, in my experience (lately) with ubuntu <samba> windows xp the sharing was enabled faster by turning on simple sharing on the windows machines.
[03:49]  * Pelo would like to take this time to wish his sister in law a happy birthday
[03:49] <maco> marks256: partition or format?
[03:50] <Pelo> marks256, sudo parted
[03:50] <datz> Hi, when I try to install 9.10 over my 8.04 install, it gets partway through, then the screen starts flashing, and  everything halts.  Can somebody help me with this?
[03:51] <airtonix> raymond, so if you follow the image prompts in that page i linked for you earlier you should arrive at a situation where you can gain access to shares made on the windows machine
[03:51] <Pelo> datz, use the alternate install cd or try going straight to the installation on the live cd ( second option I think)
[03:51] <marks256> Pelo, parted doesn't support ext4
[03:51] <rgr> is that code for reinstall from scratch?
[03:51] <marks256> maco, same thing when it comes to ext4
[03:51] <datz> Pelo: I tried going straight to the install
[03:51] <marks256> or any FS for that matter
[03:51] <microhaxo> How can i completely uninstall my CDrom drive from ubuntu 9.10? I have a netbook and dont need it!
[03:51] <Pelo> marks256, I wasn'T aware of that , since parted is only the cli for of gparted
[03:51] <Tonren> bllz: Got it.  Information-starved laptop, suckle your precious bits from my router's CAT5 teat!
[03:52] <bllz> Tonren:  haha yeah welcome to ubuntu
[03:52] <Pelo> datz, alternate install cd then,  it's text based lighter on resources
[03:52] <marks256> Pelo, it's ok. i thing it's rather stupid. It only supports ext2! :o
[03:52] <datz> Pelo: it got stuck on detecting file system in text mode
[03:52] <Pelo> marks256, are you running from an old cd ?
[03:52] <datz> Pelo: I guess I could give the alternate cd a go..
[03:52] <bllz> Tonren:  also, would you mind showing me where you deduced that your card is supported out of the box? I didn't see that on help.ubuntu.com
[03:52] <airtonix> raymond, a few other questions though : in a terminal (from ubuntu) does : "smbclient -L ip-address-of-windows-machine " produce a list of computers (and shares) for you ?
[03:53] <marks256> Pelo, nope. newest parted
[03:53] <maco> marks256: um, no they're not.  you make a partition table using "sudo fdisk" and you format the partition you created from that using "mke2fs -t ext4"
[03:53] <Tonren> bllz: Touche!  Who is the inferior Googler now?  ;-P  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsIntel
[03:53] <datz> Pelo: I don't think it's a resource problem, but I'll see how it goes
[03:53] <marks256> maco, you're right. sorry. not thinking strait
[03:53] <Pelo> datz, the alt cd also seems to be more reliable generaly
[03:53] <Toil> will coolcards hard drive adapter work with ubuntu 9.10
[03:53] <Smegzor1> i'm running ubuntu on a live usb stick.  I have some files on the stick that are not inside the persistence file.  How can I access them?
[03:53] <bllz> Tonren:  I don't see your model on there
[03:54] <bllz> 2200BG, right?
[03:54] <datz> Pelo: ok, thanks
[03:54] <microhaxo> How can i completely uninstall my CDROM drive from Ubuntu 9.10, i have a netbook and dont have a cdrom drive.
[03:54]  * bllz realizes with horror the limmits of ctrl + F
[03:54] <Tonren> bllz: Third from the top.
[03:54] <bllz> Tonren:  that's what i get for ctrl + F ing the whole thing... I see it now... right in front of me
[03:54] <Dr0> can someone help me w/ wireless ubuntu 9.10 i have a laptop HP dv4-1548dx
[03:54] <Tonren> bllz: Yeah, it doesn't say B/G on this page... oddly
[03:55] <raymond> airtonix: Connection to ip-address-of-windows-machine failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)
[03:55] <bllz> Tonren:  which may be the kernel of the matter...
[03:55] <Tonren> bllz: Seriously?  You think there's a 2200 chip, and a 2200BG chip?
[03:55] <Tonren> bllz: I'll shit a brick.
[03:55] <marks256> maco, but still. parted does not support ext4
[03:55] <airtonix> raymond, you replace "ip-address-of-your-windows-machine" with the actual IP adress.
[03:55] <bllz> Tonren:  That's my guess.  also did you look at the driver upgrade howto?
[03:55] <Tonren> bllz: Yes, but it didn't seem relevant.  I'll try it again
[03:55] <Tonren> bllz: Currently hammering on safe-upgrade & dist-upgrade
[03:55] <adminewb1> !EEEbuntu
[03:56] <airtonix> raymond, example on my machine i use : smbclient -L 10.1.1.67
[03:56] <bllz> Tonren:  I didn't look at all. I was just wondering
[03:56] <bllz> Tonren:  i'll trust your judgement on that one
[03:56] <Toil> ubuntu 9.10 does not pick up my external seagate 1TB hard drive anymore
[03:56] <airtonix> raymond, since my machine is named fred, i can also use : smbclient -L fred
[03:56] <bllz> Tonren:  and there's an asterisk next to the "yes" ... which is forboding...
[03:56] <Toil> why did it stop?
[03:57] <raymond> Oops, sorry... I've put the details in now..
[03:57] <Tonren> bllz: Yeah!!!  You saw that too?  It's never explained!  It's just a mysterious asterisk.
[03:57] <adminewb1> !aufs2
[03:57] <MenZa> !msgthebot > adminewb1
[03:57] <bllz> Tonren:  strange indeed...
[03:57] <raymond> airtonix: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
[03:57] <airtonix> raymond, ok, have you made that simple sharing option cahnge on the windows machine yet ?
[03:57] <microhaxo> Anyone know how to uninstall a cdrom drive from ubuntu?
[03:58] <Maletor> can i get an X server remotely?
[03:58] <Maletor> i have ssh
[03:58] <Maletor> Can I only do that with VNC?
[03:58] <airtonix> raymond, if not, then do so.
[03:58] <Cappy> bllz, looking at the hardware list on help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonXpress and mine isnt listed (mine comes up as RC410)
[03:58] <xfact> good morning /night guys
[03:58] <Pelo> Maletor, I don'T think you can run an x session on ssh, you'd need vnc
[03:58] <marks256> anyone know how to make an ext4 file system via the termial?
[03:58] <bllz> Cappy:  hmm... then it would appear that it's not supported?  I did see a mention of a similar card...
[03:59] <xfact> :)
[03:59] <bllz> Cappy:  i just looked for radion m200
[03:59] <raymond> Yes, that is how I had it before, the only difference is that the look of the options is different, but i didn't put and hidden drive names (e.g. C$_ and have given "Everybody" read access
[03:59] <Cappy> bllz, i think HP have screwed me.
[03:59] <airtonix> raymond, but simple file sharing is ticked yes ?
[04:00] <Maletor> Can I set up my server so that http://localhost is accessible anywhere on my LAN as http://myserver.local ??
[04:00] <Tonren> bllz: still updating...
[04:00] <bllz> Cappy:  yeah... that's vendors for you
[04:00] <Cappy> back soon
[04:00]  * ProfessorBacon is here
[04:00] <raymond> airtonix: There is no option for that...
[04:00] <airtonix> raymond, in terminal (on ubuntu) do you get a listing of shares and clients by using : smbclient -L localhost
[04:01] <lillen_> what name will ubuntu 10.04 get?
[04:01] <Pelo> lucid lynx
[04:01] <ProfessorBacon> tubby turtle
[04:01] <bllz> lillen_:  more like loony lunix
[04:01] <airtonix> raymond, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040
[04:01] <bllz> lillen_:  that was my vote anyway...
[04:02] <lillen_> HAHAHHAAHHHAHAH ...... . . .
[04:02] <manuel_> aaa
[04:02] <bllz> lillen_:  yeah i like that too =)
[04:04] <Tonren> bllz: *yawn*  STILL updating
[04:04] <Maletor> so i think i am the only person in the world with this issue but i don't see how that can be possible
[04:04] <bllz> Tonren:  I'd suggest a combination of google and ubuntuforums posting at this point...
[04:04] <airtonix> raymond, so there needs to be further confirmation of your problem 1) can you see the windows machines in nautilus 2) can you see the folders shared by the windows machines in nautilus 3) can you write to and copy from those shares  ?
[04:04] <bllz> Tonren:  be sure to link to that page and get a clarification on the asterisk and the BG part on your card
[04:04] <Tonren> bllz: It hasn't finished updating yet!  We'll see what happens when it's done
[04:05] <raymond> airtonix: i do not have a tick box for simple file sharing. I;m using XP-Pro if that makes a difference, but no matter which document I looked at, i don't have a simple file sharing option. - Seeing as I'm going all over to ubuntu, should I not worry about trying to connect to an XP machine and concentrate on
[04:05] <Maletor> i have a amd phenom II 945 and it uses k10 temp. lm-sensors detects the problem but says the drivers aren't written.
[04:05] <klong> hey all.. i got a new flatscreen LCD for xmas and i got it working using gtf/xrandr but there is still some refresh flicker lines ..   any suggestions? its a bummer
[04:05] <Maletor> what? the drivers aren't written. nobody else is using ubuntu with amd 945 / k10 ??
[04:05] <menica67> Anyone who's got advice: I have a sony vaio webcam and i'm trying to get it to work on ubuntu.  I found some sites that have some information (http://www.arakhne.org/ricoh/index.html) (http://www.nepherte.be/arch-linux-on-a-sony-vaio-sz-6/#webcam). and when i typed lsusb this is what i got for the webcam: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 05ca:1830 Ricoh Co., Ltd Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC2 [R5U870].  Anyone willing to help me mud
[04:05] <menica67> dle through this?
[04:05] <FloodBot2> menica67: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:06] <airtonix> raymond, yes, you need to do some clicking and reading of stuff as i recall to get the tick bos to appear. (they like to hide it from you)
[04:06] <neezer> anyone have any advice with exim4 setup/
[04:07] <airtonix> raymond, if you want to get the usb drive shared by your router working with linux (i am unfamiliar with this setup) you should provide the make and model of the router.
[04:07] <Toil> ubuntu 9.10 has ceased to reconize 1tb external hard drive. why?
[04:07] <bllz> Toil:  because 9.10 has been f*cking up royally... (sorry, i have no real help to offer =)  )
[04:07] <airtonix> Toil, have you confirmed it appears in /dev when you plug it in ?
[04:08] <Toil> no. how should i proceed
[04:08] <bllz> Toil:  plug it in, and point nautilus to /dev
[04:08] <klong> c
[04:08] <bllz> Toil:  and see if it appears there
[04:09] <airtonix> Toil, 1) unplug drive 2) type (in terminal) ls /dev/sd* 3) observer the listing 3) plug in drive 4) repeat 2. 5)note any changes.
[04:09] <Toil> it does not
[04:09] <masu3701> a
[04:09] <raymond> airtonix: I'll try to get one thing going at a time, less confusion, especially by me :)
[04:09] <Toil> it was appearing on desktop and in nautilus
[04:10] <troa> does anyone how to force a resolution with nvidia drivers or point me in a better direction, I've tried editing xorg.conf but no luck
[04:10] <airtonix> Toil, ok next step is to confirm that the kernel is seeing it : 1) unplug drive 2) in terminal type : dmesg | tail 3) plug drive in 4) repeat 2. 5) note any changes.
[04:11] <masu3701> is there itunes application for ubuntu?
[04:11] <chilli0> Hi i know this isnt ubuntu related but how can i get cgi on apache2 ? ( in ubuntu ) This is my httpd.conf http://pastebin.com/m1e4fa533
[04:11] <chilli0> Atm im just getting the code lol
[04:11] <airtonix> raymond, i suspect that the first step is to work out how the router actually shares the usb drive (is it samba, or is it bonjour? some other arcane magic?) ...
[04:11] <Colloguy> masu3701: sorry no
[04:11] <bllz> masu3701:  there are many music managers with ipod support if that's what you mean
[04:11] <raymond> airtonix: samba
[04:11] <Colloguy> masu3701: try Banshee or Songbird
[04:11] <airtonix> raymond, easy! do you know the ip address of the router ?
[04:11] <masu3701> thanks
[04:11] <bllz> masu3701:  songbird is the closest to itunes in terms of layout and (imo) functionality
[04:12] <Colloguy> masu3701: they both have itunes importers
[04:12] <Toil> air, it does not appear
[04:12] <Toil> no changes
[04:12] <Colloguy> masu3701: but neither supports folders containing playlist, nor your drm-ed music
[04:12] <raymond> with Xp, all I have to do is to go to network places, double click on the router (Netgear DG834GU) and then the "samba drive" appears.
[04:12] <airtonix> raymond, the internal lan ip address i mean not the external (internet facing) wan ipaddress
[04:12] <imatech> anyone use minicom?
[04:12] <Colloguy> masu3701: they'll collapse your folder hierarchy :(
[04:12] <raymond> Yes, 10.1.1.1
[04:13] <masu3701> Colloguy: so i cant organize my music with it?
[04:13] <masu3701> and play them from it
[04:13] <imatech> I need to make it default to tty3, not tty8
[04:13] <airtonix> raymond, yep i understand that, but for ubuntu (or any linux based distro) to do the same you need to know implicit information about the address of the router
[04:13] <Colloguy> masu3701: you can, just -- if you have hundred of playlists organized into folders, you'll lose the folder hierarchy
[04:13] <masu3701> ok
[04:13] <Toil> ah, air it is now seeing it as new high speed usb device using ehci_hcs and address 6
[04:14] <RedClairefield> hello.
[04:14] <masu3701> and how do i download it?
[04:14] <Colloguy> masu3701: they'll be able to import playlists
[04:14] <Tonren> bllz: #@(&^#@%@#%... updated and it still isn't detecting networks
[04:14] <airtonix> Toil, so your kernel does see your drive, but udev does not act on it... do you see any errors in dmesg after pluggin in your drive ?
[04:14] <bllz> masu3701:  look at getdeb.net
[04:14] <bllz> Tonren:  did you check your hardware manager?
[04:15] <Toil> no
[04:15] <raymond> airtonix: I understand. Thanks for your help, I'll try to find the hidden  simple file sharing switch and give it another go. Thanks for your time.
[04:15] <airtonix> raymond, wait.
[04:15] <raymond> airtonix: OK
[04:15] <Tonren> bllz: jockey?
[04:15] <bllz> Tonren;  yes
[04:15] <airtonix> raymond, in nautilus location field type : smb://10.1.1.1
[04:15] <jmyers1> ok, I'm done messing with this graphics garbage.  I'm going to do a reinstall.  I need to backup my data in my home folder tho.  I loaded from the live cd, and ran ubuntu without making any changes, but it won't let me copy my home directory to my usb flash drive because it says I don't have permissions.  Any ideas?
[04:16] <Tonren> bllz: Nothin but the NVIDIA grahpics drivers
[04:16] <mahngiel> i believe i have a permission set up somewhere that is killing my ability to burn dvds/cds. keep getting errors "cdrecord has no permission to open the device"
[04:16] <RedClairefield> excuse me, I am having some pretty serious wireless network issues here. If anyone knows a bunch about those kinds of things, please let me know? I need help.
[04:16] <bllz> Tonren:  then like I said... go for ubuntuforums and see what kind of responses you get
[04:16] <raymond> Nautilus, is this a web browser? Can I use Firefox? firefox get's me into the router.
[04:16] <Tonren> bllz: What a drag.
[04:17] <airtonix> jmyers1, when you reinstall create three partitions : 1. swap 2. system = /  3. home = /home
[04:17] <bllz> Tonren:  yeah no kidding
[04:17] <airtonix> raymond, nautilus is your file manager
[04:17] <bllz> Tonren:  if you're brave you could also try to reinstall and hope for the best
[04:17] <RedClairefield> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1364432
[04:17] <airtonix> raymond, so if you are looking at a blank desktop you can press ctrl + l and enter smb://10.1.1.1
[04:17] <Tonren> bllz: I doubt that would help, sadly.
[04:18] <mahngiel> !paste | mahngiel
[04:18] <Toil> ah i suppose it's a lost cause
[04:19] <twinsen> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus_file_manager
[04:19] <jmyers1> airtonix: Not sure how that's gonna help me get my existing data off the drive before I reinstall?
[04:19] <airtonix> jmyers1, that is to acces the usb drive sitting on your router.
[04:19] <airtonix> jmyers1, mistell
[04:19] <jmyers1> airtonix: I was like, sweet my router has a usb drive in it?!
[04:20] <mahngiel> this is my fstab- http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m187d6c64- if you think there's something that may point to why i cannot cread cd/dvds
[04:20] <airtonix> jmyers1, ah right, its not but having that kind of partition setup will preclude you from having to back up next time
[04:20] <imatech> minicom: WARNING: configuration file not found, using defaults
[04:20] <mahngiel> *create
[04:20] <Toil> thanks neway
[04:20] <jarray521> Other than data loss, what negative effect occurs if the /root directory is deleted and then recreated with permissions set to the default? I did this and don't seem to experience any problems. I'm wondering whether problems will surface in the future.
[04:20] <Cappy> whats the package name for the open source ati drivers?
[04:20] <airtonix> jmyers1, its a partition setup i followed for a long time under windows too
[04:20] <imatech> i tried installing then reinstalling...
[04:20] <Optimus55> Hey how do you edit new boot menu in karmic? /boot/grub/menu.lst doesn't seem to exit
[04:20] <bllz> I have an intel HDA chipset (VT1708B) that is not listed in /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz ... what can I do?  The sound works but I cannot control volume or mute.  I'm trying to figure out what line to add to the asla config file to get it to work, but other fixes are welcome as well
[04:20] <jmyers1> airtonix: consider it done. lol  I have a second drive in here too, just wasn't smart enough to know it on last install
[04:20] <mahngiel> Optimus55: grub2 doesn't use that anymore
[04:21] <airtonix> jmyers1, also i have a old wives tale about putting the swap drive as the first partition increases the speed of its use...
[04:21] <jmyers1> Is there no way to get some sort of root access to the drive from the live cd tho?  So I can copy my home folder to the other drive before I reinstall?
[04:21] <mahngiel> Optimus55:  read the first few lines of '/boot/grub/grub.cfg'
[04:21] <airtonix> jmyers1, there is yes
[04:21] <Optimus55> mahngiel: thanks for the headsup
[04:21] <mahngiel> Optimus55: /etc/default/grub is your main script to edit the essentials, then the contents of /etc/grub.d/ is the rest
[04:22] <raymond> Error: Failed to retrieve share list from server
[04:22] <raymond> Please select another viewer and try again.
[04:22] <airtonix> jmyers1, livecd user has no password so simply prefix any command with sudo that requires root access
[04:22] <mahngiel> the grub.cfg is not editable
[04:22] <arooni_____> i'm trying to play a .avi on ubuntu... i hear no audio.  what can i do?
[04:22] <mahngiel> Optimus55: let me get you a link
[04:22] <bllz> arooni______:  do you have restricted codecs enabled?
[04:22] <jmyers1> airtonix: hrm, so I'm going to have to do all this copying from the terminal?
[04:22] <airtonix> raymond, nautilus tells you this in a popup box ?
[04:22] <arooni_____> bllz, i believe so!
[04:22] <bllz> arooni______:  please change your handle as well, so we can call on you more easily
[04:22] <raymond> Yes.
[04:23] <bllz> arooni_____:  you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[04:23] <jmyers1> airtonix: because I'm not so slick with mounting drives or moving large sums of files in terminal yet.
[04:23] <airtonix> jmyers1, no. you can use nautilus ... alt+f2 gksudo nautilus
[04:23] <Optimus55> mahngiel: okay thanks, because basically it's crowded with all the previous kernel versions and i just want them gone
[04:23] <airtonix> jmyers1, also if (when using the live cd ) you just plugin (for example) a usb drive... it will show up.
[04:23] <mahngiel> Optimus55: you should be able to use synaptic to delete them. but you can hide the memtest and recovery pretty easy if you want a quick how-to
[04:23] <quick_> How to accelerate the network speed of the ubuntu?
[04:24] <raymond> Could not display "SMB://101.1.1/"
[04:24] <airtonix> raymond, and this was when trying to access smb://10.1.1.1
[04:24] <imatech> !minicom
[04:24] <arooni> bllz, yes its installed
[04:24] <raymond> yes.
[04:24] <bllz> quick_:  do you have a problem with your network or are you just trying to be 1337?
[04:24] <jmyers1> airtonix: yes, I did that.  But when I try to move the my home folder to the usb drive, it says I dont have permission to access it.
[04:24] <bllz> arooni:  hmm.  do you get sound with other file types in the same media player?
[04:24] <Optimus55> mahngiel: if i use synaptic to remove the previous kernels, i wont have problems and it'll remove the grub entry as well?
[04:24] <airtonix> jmyers1, dont have permission to access what the usb drive or the home folder ?
[04:24] <Tonren> bllz: Bizarre... I'm getting intermittent pickup of some wifi networks.
[04:24] <jmyers1> airtonix: home folder
[04:25] <Tonren> bllz: I think I had this issue with my older laptop... I think I might need to switch to ndiswrapper
[04:25] <jarray521> If the /root directory is deleted, does Ubuntu recreate the important hidden files?
[04:25] <mahngiel> Optimus55: yeppers. just search '-14' and remove the image file. don't remove the libcamel tho, i think u still need that. not sure
[04:25] <bllz> Tonren:  ndiswrapper typically works very well too
[04:25] <jmyers1> airtonix: it will copy the folders, but when it tries to move the files it gives me the permissions error
[04:25] <mahngiel> and do 'sudo apt-get update and autoremove'
[04:25] <airtonix> jmyers1, this is when you run nautilus as root : gksudo nautilus --no-desktop
[04:25] <quick_> yes,it's very slow from web access
[04:26] <mahngiel> to hide the memtest and the recovery kernel, just remove the permissions from the /etc/grub.d files
[04:26] <airtonix> raymond, ok are you sure that your router is sharing the usb drive it has plugged into it via samba  >
[04:26] <jmyers1> ok, so I boot to a terminal with MY login, and run that command?
[04:26] <quick_> but very quickly to access from localhost
[04:26] <bllz> quick_:  so it's only the browser that's slow?  that might not be a network issue
[04:26] <mahngiel> any luck on anybody out there figurin why i can't burn a cd?
[04:26] <nickzxcv> hi, I'm having this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/461127
[04:26] <Tonren> bllz: Got the link to that list of chipsets + ndiswrapper files, by any chance?
[04:26] <quick_> yes
[04:26] <bllz> Tonren:  no
[04:26] <bllz> quick_:  what broser are you using and what's your hardwaer?
[04:26] <mahngiel> Optimus55: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275&highlight=partition
[04:27] <menica67> I have a sony vaio webcam.  I found http://www.arakhne.org/ricoh/index.html and http://www.nepherte.be/arch-linux-on-a-sony-vaio-sz-6/#webcam but can't get it to work.  can i get some help?
[04:27] <nickzxcv> the karmic-updates kernel 2.6.31-16-generic-pae is also not built with xen support
[04:27] <nickzxcv> even though linux-image-virtual depends on it
[04:27] <jmyers1> airtonix: ok, so I reboot to a terminal with my login, and run that command?
[04:27] <Maletor> How do i export a path permanently?
[04:27] <mahngiel> Optimus55: if you want to mess around a bit with Grub, i'd recommend making a copy of it first
[04:27] <Optimus55> right
[04:27] <airtonix> jmyers1 ok i understand, i was tralking about using that command while you use the live cd
[04:27] <quick_>  But speed is very fast from local access
[04:28] <mahngiel> Optimus55: perhaps: 'sudo cp -R /etc/grub.d /etc/grub.d_
[04:28] <Optimus55> mahngiel: the documentation there seems really helpful. Thanks a lot
[04:28] <mahngiel> Optimus55: np
[04:28] <jmyers1> airtonix: so run the no-desktop switch from the livecd then.
[04:28] <bevans_> hi guys, is there a package for vmware server 2 for ubuntu 9.10 which can be installed using apt?
[04:28] <bllz> quick_:  hmm... sounds like newtork congestion, in which case i doubt you can do much
[04:28] <raymond> Yes, i can access it from the XP machine
[04:28] <airtonix> jmyers1, yes that switch prevents nautilus from creating (yet another) desktop (this time owned by root)...(nautilus without paramters creates a desktop view)
[04:29] <quick_> I think it may be not the browser's  problem
[04:29] <bllz> quick_:  yeah that might be your connection
[04:29] <airtonix> raymond, could you possibly retireve the make and model of the router ?
[04:30] <quick_> I don't known how to config the network of ubuntu
[04:30] <jmyers1> airtonix: that's not doing anything.
[04:30] <Tonren> bllz: Damn, dude.  I hate dealing with this... I figured I could get wifi up and running in an hour, tops, but I've been at it 2 hours now.
[04:30] <ignazio> hi
[04:30] <bllz> quick_;  no I'm saying it's not an ubuntu problem.  it's your network... most likely, anyway
[04:30] <bllz> Tonren:  yeah that's why I just bought an ubuntu-specific laptop
[04:30] <raymond> Netgear DG834GU
[04:30] <quick_> may be
[04:31] <Tonren> bllz: I've been meaning to do that, but until then I'm making do with hand-me-downs
[04:31] <jmyers1> airtonix: gksudo nautilus --no-desktop isnt opening the file manager.
[04:31] <Tonren> bllz: You only need to worry about WPA if you're connecting to an encrypted router, right?
[04:31] <airtonix> jmyers1,are you using the live cd now ?
[04:31] <bllz> Tonren:  only if you're connecting to a WPA encyrpted router... which you want to do
[04:31] <quick_> and How do I check my network
[04:31] <mahngiel> error details when trying to burn  a cd. please take a look if you have the insight. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d6fc12182
[04:32] <jmyers1> airtonix: yessir, logged in as ubuntu.  I have the desktop with the Install Ubuntu Now icon, and Examples icon, and my 153 GB Filesystem icon
[04:32] <quick_> Perhaps it's a network configuration problem
[04:32] <Tonren> bllz: My router is unencrypted; it's open.
[04:32] <airtonix> jmyers1, alt+f2  brings up a run dialog ?
[04:32] <jmyers1> airtonix: and I just mounted my usb flash
[04:32] <bllz> quick_: it dependso n what you want to check.  Try this:  http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-network-troubleshooting-tips.html
[04:32] <mahngiel> airtonix: yep
[04:32] <jmyers1> airtonix: yes, brings up the run dialog.  I type gksudo nautilus --no-desktop in it, and nothin happens.
[04:33] <airtonix> jmyers1, try without the no-desktop
[04:33] <mahngiel> quick_: iwconfig
[04:33] <quick_> ok, thanks

[04:34] <mahngiel> Cappy: hold on, lemme look
[04:35] <Cappy> mahngiel, thanks.
[04:35] <CVirus> How can I edit the list of applications that show up in the "Open With" menu ?
[04:35] <bastidrazor> Cappy: you can't install two sets of drivers for one card. you have to use one or the other.
[04:35] <jmyers1> airtonix: the hard drive is showing up on the desktop, it's mounted.  I can open it, open home folder, and see my Joseph folder
[04:35] <Cappy> bastidrazor, im sure i said that "ive just uninstalled the fglrx drivers"
[04:36] <airtonix> raymond, it seems your routers web interface has controls to manipulate how the usb drive is shared ? is this correct
[04:36] <bastidrazor> Cappy: i may need sleep. sorry for the mis reading.

[04:39] <jmyers1> mahngiel: I'm running the livecd, can't run sudo
[04:39] <raymond> Yes. I've taken that issue up with Optus and Netgear, each one is shirking the responsibility to the other. but that problem is accessing it via the web, no
[04:39] <mahngiel> jmyers1: sure you can, just don't need the pw
[04:39] <raymond> Scap the last sentence (Incomplete and wrong)

[04:41] <airtonix> raymond, does your router have a mchine name (like your windows machines might have? ie my machine name for my computer is fred but its ip is 10.1.1.67)

[04:41] <raymond> Yes, Netgear
[04:41] <airtonix> raymond, the other thing you can try to do (in order to get a sense of what is (and what isn't) occuring ) is to attempt to get smbclient to give you a list of shares on the router

[04:43] <fatface> intriging idea

[04:43] <jmyers1> when I run gksudo nautilus /media from the terminal, I still get the home/ubuntu folder, instead of my home folder
[04:44] <airtonix> raymond, huzzah! ok you need to provide login details with taht previous command.

[04:45] <sunil> in my computer there more than 9.04 versions installed how to remove all those and re-install again

[04:45] <fd_df> hello everyone
[04:45] <mahngiel> Cappy: most definately. it's why i dropped Fedora
[04:46] <Tonren> mahngiel: Fresh install of 9.10 on a Dell Inspiron 8600.  I have an unencrypted wifi network that NetworkManager isn't seeing.  I have an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG.  ndiswrapper is installed but not enabled, and ipw2200 appears to be loaded fine.
[04:46] <Pelo> sunil,  I told you earelier,  you do not need to remove them all you just need to intall over them , make a backup of all the files you need to keep, on a cd or something then install ubuntu again over the whole hdd
[04:46] <airtonix> raymond, samba is so frustrating
[04:46] <mahngiel> brijith: uh-huh...
[04:46] <Tonren> mahngiel: Intermittently, I can see some other wifi network, but never my own.
[04:46] <windy> fd_df, see you again^
[04:46] <brijith> mahngiel:them problem is when I try to auto mount the partition by adding them in fstab
[04:46] <raymond> airtonix: You're telling me LOL
[04:46] <airtonix> raymond, and windows networking in general.
[04:46] <fatface> can i apt-get install a specific version of a piece of software?
[04:46] <fd_df> windy: haha
[04:46] <mahngiel> Tonren: have you tried connecting to hidden network?
[04:46] <flexible> Snausages: no, what do i do to find out... also, i am almost positive it is a problem with ubuntu, because this computer has 80% reception from this desk, where as the laptop is dropping out
[04:46] <bllz> fatface:  afaik apt-get installs the most recent version in the repository
[04:46] <fd_df> windy: my english is poor
[04:47] <Tonren>  mahngiel:  Yep.  Didn't take.
[04:47] <airtonix> raymond, ok i assume you are giving it the correct password and the web interface to control the sub drive sharing has that user name in its list.
[04:47] <raymond> airtonix: Especially when MS changes the look and feel of things between versions!
[04:47] <flexible> Snausages: also, the router is less than ten metres away...
[04:47] <Cappy> mahngiel, well im thinking i need to go back to windows, unless there is a simple way of INSTALLING the opensource drivers for radeon cards.
[04:47] <sunil> if i backup & install again do i need to partion my hdd
[04:47] <mahngiel> brijith: if you look at that link i gave you, there is is a spelled out method to auto mount with permissions
[04:47] <windy> fd_df, it doesn't matter
[04:47] <bllz> Cappy:  aren't the open source drivers installed by default when you install ubuntu?
[04:47] <mahngiel> Cappy: try 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' ??
[04:47] <raymond> airtonix: The password that I entered was the one for ubuntu on my laptop which I am using right now..
[04:48] <jmyers1> airtonix: what about compressing the folder from a terminal, and then moving the single file the the flash drive with the sudo cp command?
[04:48] <Snausages> flexible: I don't know a sure-fire way to do it.  A badly working winwifi-type driver could cause this problem...  I hate the damn things so much I swapped out the wifi module in my netbook so I wouldn't have to deal with it
[04:48] <mahngiel> Tonren: are you able to set up the DHCP on your own? to find it?
[04:48] <bllz> mahngiel:  uh... for video drivers, really?
[04:48] <brijith> mahngiel:thanks for the link I am reading it
[04:48] <airtonix> raymond, ahh ok it is asking for the samba password not the computer password
[04:48] <ace_> I have a toshiba satellite a205-s5852 laptop. I'm having a hard time connection to my wifi. Sometimes it connects, and sometimes it doesn't can someone help me so it will connect all the time?
[04:48] <mahngiel> bllz: i dunno, hence the q marks. nobody else seems to have any imput
[04:48] <Tonren> mahngiel: Nope.  It can't see the access point at all.
[04:48] <airtonix> raymond, so assuming you have a password setup for the router network share, then thats what it wants, otherwise leave it blank and press enter
[04:48] <sunil> can you tel me the process of system backup
[04:48] <bllz> mahngiel:  ubuntu-restricted-extras is codecs
[04:48] <SporkiPod> ummmm
[04:48] <iKernel> ace_, sounds like sometimes the interference is there, sometimes it's not
[04:48] <flexible> Snausages: right, well is there anywher you can point me to get this thing working like it should?
[04:49] <SporkiPod> need some serious help here
[04:49] <iKernel> ace_, what's more common, it connecting or it not connecting?
[04:49] <iKernel> SporkiPod, don't ask to ask, just ask.
[04:49] <mahngiel> bllz: k
[04:49] <ace_> iKernel: not connecting, and it's happening to both my toshiba laptops, and my wifes hp
[04:49] <raymond> airtonix: The password is only required when you login from the net, i.e. if YOU were to try and login. Otherwise no password is required.. I'll try it now.
[04:49] <Snausages> flexible: this is a great place.  But apparently now is not a good time.  There are other people who regularly hang out here who are great at troubleshooting wifi drivers.
[04:49] <SporkiPod> I was trying to install ubuntu on an external hdd, accidently put grub on the main drive, now can't boot windows
[04:49] <bllz> ace_: You shoudl look up your specific wifi driver in the ubuntu documentation list to see if it is supported
[04:49] <mahngiel> Tonren: well, if your wifi is able to see things, then the drivers must be working
[04:49] <SporkiPod> help?
[04:50] <bllz> ace_:  you should also give us the specific chipset
[04:50] <iKernel> bllz, he says it happens to his wife's comp too
[04:50] <Tonren> mahngiel: Yeah, but why can't I see my own access point?
[04:50] <raymond> airtonix: I think it worked that time, I got a lot more info...
[04:50] <bllz> !ask | SporkiPod
[04:50] <ace_> bllz: it worked fine with 9.04
[04:50] <airtonix> raymond, excellent you see sharenames?
[04:50] <SporkiPod> I get grub loading. error: no such disk
[04:50] <bllz> iKernel:  hmm... sounds like a reception issue then, doesn't it?
[04:50] <flexible> Snausages: right, well what do i do to work out the chipset?
[04:50] <airtonix> raymond,dont post the info here (privacy)
[04:50] <bllz> ace_:  that's good news, but you should look it up anyway
[04:50] <raymond> airtonix: Yes, i was about to write that..
[04:50] <raymond> airtonix: thanks.
[04:50] <sunil> can any one tel me the process of system backup
[04:50] <iKernel> ace_, which operating system does your wife use? and how far away are you from the router? what kind of things are between the laptop and the router?
[04:50] <mahngiel> Tonren: i really don't know. i believe the extent of my knowledge has been reached on that. maybe the router has a weak signal to you???
[04:50] <Snausages> flexible: I know you can get it from lspci in a terminal, but I'm not sure how best to narrow down those results.  (it's a few pages full)
[04:50] <mahngiel> Wireless connection 1http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1363472
[04:51] <bllz> ace_:  my honest opinion is that 9.10 botched a lot of otherwise working stuff... you may want to just go back to 9.04 for the time being
[04:51] <Pytlask> Does anyone know what the little 'toasts' are called (that pop up in the top-right of your screen on certain actions)
[04:51] <iKernel> sunil, easy, just use backup2l
[04:51] <culinor> hello, i installed ubuntu with graphical interface but it didn't showed me an option to create a separate partition for /home, so can i do it now and if yes where can i read about that procedure, thank you
[04:51] <mahngiel> sunil: um. that's where you put all of your valuable information into a place where they may be retrieved in the event of data loss
[04:51] <ace_> iKernel: 9.10 and I'm about 20 feet from router
[04:51] <airtonix> raymond, ok you see things you recognise, so now try this in the nautilus location field : smb://raymod@10.1.1.1
[04:51] <ace_> iKernel: clear view to router
[04:52] <iKernel> sunil, actually scrap that, use backuppc , looks much better
[04:52] <bllz> ace_:  look up the card
[04:52] <airtonix> raymond, i mean : smb://raymond@10.1.1.1 so that it is : smb://user@ip
[04:52] <ace_> iKernel: bllz: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network
[04:52] <iKernel> ace_, ok, did you try switching every electronic appliance in the house off apart from the router and PC's?
[04:52] <tatootian> hi anyone here know how to use centos?
[04:52] <mahngiel> why would i bet told i do have have the permissions to write to a cd?
[04:52] <mq521> ya
[04:52] <Snausages> flexible: I cheated...  I saw that the stock broadcom wifi in my netbook wasn't working, so I just tried other modules until I found one that "just worked" and stuck with it.  Has been flawless since.
[04:53] <bllz> ace_:  now look that up on the list of supported adapters and see if there are any notes
[04:53] <mq521> how do I use centos
[04:53] <airtonix> tatootian, this is ubuntu channel
[04:53] <CyberArch> tatootian: #centos
[04:53] <tatootian> i got banned
[04:53] <Tonren> mahngiel: Every other laptop to come through the apartment in the past year has connected fine :-(  Thanks for trying, though
[04:53] <tatootian> from #centos
[04:53] <iKernel> hm im pretty sure 9.10 comes with the atheros drivers
[04:53] <ace_> iKernel: no I didn't try that
[04:53] <sunil> is 9.10 a free of distribution
[04:53] <iKernel> ace_, try it
[04:53] <tatootian> sunil, no
[04:53] <bazhang> tatootian, mq521 please stop
[04:53] <ace_> iKernel: ok
[04:53] <tatootian> you have to pay for it
[04:53] <mq521> ???
[04:53] <airtonix> tatootian, power cycle your router/modem and make a new username
[04:53] <tatootian> bazhang, ?
[04:53] <Hydrosis> sunil: all Ubuntu is 100 percent free
[04:53] <Snausages> yes, 9.10 and 9.04 both have atheros wireless support
[04:53] <tatootian> airtonix, ???
[04:53] <raymond> airtonix: I worked that one out when it didn't work LOL, but it is looking for windows shares (The icon is rotating - the flower type one)
[04:53] <bllz> ace_:  also, silly question, but did you check the proprietary driver manager?
[04:53] <Hydrosis> tatootian, please dont be an asshat.
[04:53] <bazhang> mq521, take it elsewhere
[04:53] <sunil> how much is the cost
[04:53] <iKernel> ace_, then if you can connect, slowly switch each appliance on one by one until your wireless internet dies. then the last thing you switched on is what's causing the problem
[04:53] <ace_> bllz: where do i find a list of supported adapters?
[04:54] <mq521> bazhang
[04:54] <bllz> ace_:  ubuntu community documentation (help.ubuntu.com)
[04:54] <mq521> why are you so mean
[04:54] <bllz> ace_:  also, google has it
[04:54] <mahngiel> boy, i need to quit drinking and typing... allow me to rephrase. Burning cds & dvds fail due to insufficient priveledges
[04:54] <bllz> ace_:  just google "ubuntu supported wifi"
[04:54] <airtonix> mahngiel, no other similar scenarios found on ubuntuforums ?
[04:54] <raymond> airtonix: In Location it shows smb://10.1.1.1/ and the icon is still "rotating"
[04:54] <iKernel> bllz, im pretty sure most atheros chipsets are supported by default under ubuntu
[04:55] <mahngiel> airtonix: nor on linux forums
[04:55] <bllz> iKernel:  yeah, but you never know.  it's worth looking up
[04:55] <airtonix> raymond, ok try appending a known sharename to the end of the location
[04:55] <iKernel> bllz, i suppose
[04:55] <airtonix> raymond, so it ends up looking something like : smb://10.1.1.1/sharename
[04:55] <mahngiel> fk it. guess i'll go to XP and use Nero.
[04:55] <mahngiel> laters
[04:56] <raymond> airtonix: The location just changed to /home/raymond before you sent the last message
[04:56] <sunil> how to install additional softwares
[04:56] <Pytlask> Does anybody know what the little black boxes that pop up in the upper-right hand of my screen are called?
[04:56] <bllz> sunil:  depends on the software.  You should look at the ubuntu software center, for starters
[04:56] <Pytlask> (For example, when a wireless connection is completed)
[04:57] <airtonix> raymond, next thing to check is that ubuntu workgroup and the router workgroup are the same.
[04:57] <sunil> may i know how to install java
[04:58] <bllz> sunil:  the easiest way is to install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:58] <ace_> iKernel: unplugged everything and still no wifi
[04:58] <raymond> airtonix: The sharename for the Router works, i can now see the files.. :)
[04:59] <ace_> iKernel: I was hoping it would be the Christmas tree. LOL
[04:59] <iKernel> xD
[04:59] <airtonix> raymond, rejoice. lastly you should try looking at the location in nautilus : network://
[04:59] <iKernel> ace_, nice. oh and, shame. well. is the router over heating? I used to have problems where the wifi would drop out if the router got too hot
[04:59] <airtonix> raymond, if that doesnt give you more love, you might want to bookmark the current location
[04:59] <insmod> any idea how to avoid/register an ipod touch in linux
[04:59] <raymond> airtonix: is the sharename info in the smb.conf file? If so, I have already changed it.
[05:00] <sunil> may i know how to install java in my pc
[05:00] <bllz> sunil:  I just answered your question
[05:00] <sunil> may i know what is command to install
[05:00] <ace_> iKernel: I don't think so. It doesn't feel too hot, and I have it in an open area
[05:00] <airtonix> raymond, sharename of the folder on the router? no that comes from the router (it reports it when asked for it as you probably saw when you ran smbclient -L 10.1.1.1)
[05:01] <bllz> sunil:  this is the kind of thing you should be googling, but it's sudo apt-get install
[05:01] <bllz> followed by the package name
[05:01] <airtonix> !java | sunil
[05:01] <bazhang> sunil, ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[05:01] <bllz> -Pelo- :  or a new user... who knows =/
[05:01] <iKernel> ace_, weird. made sure that the antenna is screwed in properly?
[05:01] <bastidrazor> sunil: in a terminal type: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[05:01] <shriekout> !en
[05:01] <bllz> sunil:  or you could look up ubuntu-restricted-extras in the ubuntu software center
[05:01] <raymond> airtonix: workgroup is what I meant..
[05:02] <iKernel> ace_, and try opening up the IP address of your router in a web browser, see if it gives you any clues
[05:02] <ace_> iKernel: that was one of the first things I checked. I have full bars on the laptop
[05:02] <ace_> iKernel: I will open it
[05:02] <airtonix> raymond, yes it is
[05:03] <iKernel> wait you have full bars on the laptop? so you don't have any issues with signal strength
[05:03] <iKernel> bllz, looks like ace_ isnt having any problems with signal strength
[05:03] <sunil> i got E: Couldn't find package ubuntu-restricted-extras
[05:03] <sunil> after i i run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[05:03] <bllz> iKernel:  hmm... my advice still stands... regress to 9.04.  9.10 is a pain...
[05:03] <raymond> airtonix: I have already changed the smb.conf to the name of the workgroup
[05:04] <iKernel> bllz, personally I haven't run into any issues whatsoever with 9.10 ... just lucky I guess
[05:04] <bllz> iKernel:  yeah... lucky indeed. this release has been plagued with wifi and audio issues
[05:04] <bllz> iKernel:  not to mention problems with grub2
[05:04] <bllz> iKernel:  which are admittedly less frequent and less severe
[05:05] <Diverdude> I have a thinkpad T61p, with a touchpad, which I would like to disable. I can do this using a program called TrackPointSettings. But when I have disabled it, it is beeing renabled for some reason when i press TAB or SUPERKEY+D(which is my show desktop shortcut) How can I avoid this misbehaviour?
[05:05] <iKernel> bllz, the only issue I've had with wifi is that aireplay-ng just can't seem to find a damned ARP packet.
[05:05] <ace_> iKernel: I think I'm going to go with bllz advice and go back to 9.04
[05:06] <iKernel> ace_, yeah ok
[05:06] <bllz> ace_:  the next release is a lts I think... so it should be rock solid
[05:06] <Quan-Time> Diverdude: hmm... tried synaptics ? the driver set, NOT the package handler thing..
[05:06] <iKernel> bllz, what's an ltz?
[05:06] <iKernel> lts*
[05:06] <Quan-Time> Diverdude: formally gsynaptics (gnome)..
[05:06] <ace_> iKernel: bllz: thank you both for helping
[05:06] <bllz> iKernel: uh... long term release... why the hell did i type s?
[05:06] <Diverdude> Quan-Time, is that preinstalled?
[05:06] <iKernel> ace_, you're welcome
[05:06] <MenZa> LTS - Long-Term Support.
[05:06] <bllz> iKernel;  I do think it's called lts for whatever reason though
[05:06] <bllz> ace_: good luck!
[05:07] <bllz> iKernel:  yeah it's lts
[05:07] <bllz> long term release
[05:07] <Quan-Time> Diverdude: hit and miss.. wasnt with me.. (im on a laptop too, but i have a elantech pad, not a synaptic, they are hardware manuf's)
[05:07] <Diverdude> Quan-Time, I do not understand what you mean
[05:08] <raymond> airtonix: I am able to get into the files on my XP machine now doing the same thing as the modem, I've just got to know the names and am not able to browse for them. I get asked the password and I enter it so I get access. I am unable to substitute the address for the computer "name" so I'll either have to set up a permanent address for each machine if there is no other way?
[05:10] <Diverdude> anyone?
[05:10] <culinor> hello, i installed ubuntu with graphical interface but it didn't showed me an option to create a separate partition for /home, so can i do it now and if yes where can i read about that procedure, thank you
[05:11] <pityonline> Hi guys! Can I save a screenshot with gnome-screenshot autonamed 'date+time'.png?
[05:12] <Quan-Time> Diverdude: sudo apt-get install synaptics
[05:13] <jmyers1> k, need some more ideas for rescuing my data via live cd before I wipe this thing and reinstall. :/
[05:13] <Quan-Time> Diverdude: OR !! go to your synaptics package manager and search for "synaptics"
[05:13] <Quan-Time> Diverdude: synaptics is a hardware manufacturer of touchpads.. much like dell / mitsubish / lg make LCD panels...
[05:14] <Quan-Time> it may fix you right up with the right driver for your device
[05:14] <Maletor> How do I enable transmissionbt so i can go to my computer and add a torrent file
[05:14] <mobi-sheep> pityonline: Use scrot.
[05:14] <Maletor> 's web gui
[05:15] <Quan-Time> Maletor: you wanna add a .torrent via web gui on transmission ?
[05:15] <pityonline> mobi-sheep: Yes, I know scrot can do this, but I wonder gnome-screenshot can also do it
[05:15] <iKernel> Can somebody please tell me why in blasified hell there are no smp kernel images in the package repository?
[05:15] <iKernel> !smp
[05:15] <Maletor> Quan-Time: yes
[05:15] <iKernel> oh
[05:16] <Maletor> Quan-Time: I have transmission on my computer i just need to open it remotely
[05:16] <Quan-Time> Maletor: honestly never tried.. didnt know it could do it.. i personally use utorrent.. works fine (with wine)..
[05:16] <mobi-sheep> pityonline: I checked out man pages. Looks like it's not possible. :o
[05:16] <pRincEss_nHa> dina
[05:16] <mobi-sheep> Maletor: http://localhost:9091 -- Try that
[05:16] <Quan-Time> Maletor: umm. best i can suggest is search the forums or the transmission dev forums.. no idea.. dont use it and didnt know of that feature in it. (why i used utorrent)
[05:16] <Ek|mu5> Maletor, look up transmission-daemon, you'd also have to open up ports
[05:16] <culinor> how can i move /home to it's own partition
[05:17] <bazhang> !home | culinor
[05:17] <Maletor> in looking up transmission-daemon i found nothing about starting the web gui
[05:17] <pRincEss_nHa> -
[05:17] <pRincEss_nHa> -
[05:17] <pRincEss_nHa> -
[05:17] <FloodBot2> pRincEss_nHa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:17] <pityonline> mobi-sheep: well, maybe u r right
[05:18] <culinor> thank you ubottu
[05:18] <Ek|mu5> Maletor, it should be in the preferences if the normal ui
[05:18] <pityonline> mobi-sheep: I'd checked the man pages for gnome-screenshot
[05:18] <bazhang> culinor, if on install you can use manual partitioning on the live cd, or use the alternate cd
[05:18] <SporkiPod> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
[05:18] <Ek|mu5> Maletor, the option for activating the web gui is there
[05:18] <Maletor> Ek|mu5: I can't access preferences, i have a shell i need to do this remotely
[05:19] <bazhang> SporkiPod, please stop that
[05:19] <SporkiPod> well some
[05:19] <SporkiPod> help would be nice
[05:20] <fleixius> I have an UPS connected to my 9.10 box, however; upon critical battery levels the UPS doesnt auto shut down.  Any ideas?
[05:20] <fleixius> Bah the pc
[05:20] <Ek|mu5> Maletor, can't look it up for you... but you would still need to configure and start the transmission-daemon and by default it will listen on localhost:9091.
[05:20] <mobi-sheep> Maletor: You'll have to edit the settings.json to allow yourself.
[05:20] <fleixius> it;s configured to do so in the gnome-power-management as well
[05:20] <Maletor> mobi-sheep, where is settings.json
[05:21] <jwx> hi, how is windows7 performing in virtualbox compared to xp? need to setup windows only app (visual studio) for study

[05:23] <j_anon> So I got a portable My Passport hard drive for Christmas
[05:23] <j_anon> so i tried installing ubuntu onto it so i can boot ubuntu with it from a couple of computers
[05:23] <j_anon> but i can't do it on my mac
[05:23] <j_anon> does anyone know why?
[05:23] <gralco> hey can someone help me out, my nvidia driver stopped working all of the sudden and idk why
[05:24] <j_anon> i start up, hold option key, and it shows the "boot from" options, and it doesn't show the drive
[05:25] <neezer> j_anon: a few years ago I tried something similar and ran into problems.
[05:26] <mobi-sheep> Maletor: You'll have to read Transmission Headless Server site. I just remembered that Ubuntu like to have their own usernames for daemons so it'll be running under user (debian-transmission).
[05:26] <moymoy> i'm trying to install the nfs-kernel-server package, but it tells me that there's no support for it in my kernel.. i have NFSv3 and NFSv4 support built into the kernel.. what's wrong?
[05:26] <j_anon> neezer: whadja do
[05:26] <neezer> not exactly sure...i didn't know much about computers.
[05:26] <j_anon> what would you do now
[05:27] <neezer> I installed ubuntu on the external drive, but the boot sector was on the main hdd of my laptop.
[05:27] <mobi-sheep> pityonline: scrot -d 3 -c $(date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S").png   :-)
[05:27] <neezer> so I could boot into ubuntu if the drive was plugged in.
[05:27] <neezer> but i couldn't get into windows without the drive being plugged in.
[05:27] <neezer> it was a huge pain in the ass.
[05:28] <j_anon> can you explain what you mean by "the boot sector was on the main hdd of my laptop"
[05:28] <neezer> eventually I got a friend of mine with a windows recovery disk to repair my boot sector back to just window on my laptop.
[05:28] <sunil> how to master all the linux commands
[05:28] <j_anon> i'm not totally sure what a boot sector is, possibly
[05:28] <neezer> there is a boot sector for all of the different OS's and generally it is in the beginning of the hard drive.
[05:29] <pityonline> mobi-sheep: thank u so much
[05:29] <neezer> I apologize for not knowing a lot about this j_anon.
[05:30] <raymond> Thanks to all for your help and especially airtonix. All to best for the new year to you all...
[05:30] <neezer> it was quite new to me when I did it, and it was at least 3 years ago.
[05:30] <j_anon> is there another room that might get me more specialized advice, neezer?
[05:30] <neezer> but anyways...there are special ways to set up a USB drive to work as a live "cd"
[05:30] <sunil> can any one tell me how to learn all the linux commands
[05:31] <j_anon> sunil: caffeine.
[05:31] <j_anon> caffeine and time
[05:31] <neezer> you could try that. that way you can run ubuntu on other computers as a live cd, but from you external hdd...
[05:32] <sunil> caffeine???
[05:32] <brianherman> cocaine?
[05:32] <j_anon> cocaine is how you learn PERL
[05:32] <neezer> if you want to run ubuntu from the disk on other computers it might be as simple as changing the boot device priority to the USB device.
[05:32] <neezer> when booting.
[05:32] <brianherman> cocaine is how you learn perl when booting
[05:33] <om26er> !ot
[05:33] <neezer> sorry I couldn't be of more help j_anon.
[05:33] <j_anon> thanks
[05:33] <pityonline> mobi-sheep: i found scrot with no options can also do it, easyly.
[05:33] <sunil> may i why people find difficult with linux???
[05:34] <j_anon> may i why people find difficult with english???
[05:34] <j_anon> lulz i'm funnee
[05:34] <neezer> so are you looking to just run a live CD type environment from different machines? or to actually run the same install off of the USB drive and boot into it from the drive.
[05:34] <sunil> why most of the people face problems with linux??
[05:35] <neezer> I would think trying to boot a single install onto different hardware would cause some config problems.
[05:35] <imatech> can I install a redhat driver on my ubuntu box?
[05:35]  * om26er think people also face problems with windows
[05:35] <vadi01>  /join #networking
[05:35] <mobi-sheep> sunil: There are problems with everything. Surely, you're not the perfect son? ;)
[05:35] <jwx> sunil: lack of hardware drivers? and lack of research if their hardware is fully supported = problems ?
[05:35] <moymoy> quit
[05:36] <sunil> how to master linux from starting?
[05:36] <neezer> looking for support for exim4?? anyone here know about it?
[05:36] <mobi-sheep> sunil: Learn things as you hang out in here.
[05:37] <neezer> sunil: when you have problems you master one little piece of linux at a time. The more problems you have, the more you master.
[05:37] <bullgard4> 'man ps'in the section "STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS" lists a table headlined "CODE HEADER DESCRIPTION" to control the output format of the ps command. When do I have to use 'CODE', and wehn do I have to use 'HEADER'?
[05:37] <mobi-sheep> sunil: This is a great way to get started -- http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/
[05:38] <maco> neezer: or when other people have problems and you help them figure them out :) much of what i learned was this way
[05:38] <bullgard4> s/wehn/when/
[05:38] <neezer> very nice maco!
[05:38] <Hunt4> is ossmix a command in ubuntu?

[05:39] <bullgard4> Hunt4: You can find that out yourself by consulting packages.ubuntu.com

[05:45] <Guest95020> karmic koala or watever, yes
[05:45] <vishesh> Guest95020: maybe you just clicked next over next during installation
[05:46] <vishesh> and repartitioned/reformatted the hard-disk, clearing windows
[05:46] <Guest95020> Wat do i do to get it back?
[05:46] <Guest95020> is that bad?
[05:46] <Mo> how do you list out files to be installed in a package?
[05:46] <j_anon> 9/10 odds guest is just messing with you
[05:47] <vishesh> Guest95020: You cant get back if you cleared it, i mean reformattedthe disk
[05:47] <neezer> Guest95020 it is very bad.
[05:47] <Guest95020> :(

[05:48] <neezer> Guest95020: in a terminal in ubuntu type df let us know what it says.
[05:48] <Guest95020> wat?
[05:49] <neezer> open a terminal in Ubuntu and type in df then press enter.
[05:49] <psy0nic> if he repartitioned and formatted it doesn't matter what df will say
[05:49] <psy0nic> the data will still be gone
[05:49] <j_anon> guys, he doesn't know what terminal is
[05:49] <vishesh> yeah, df will show mouted partions anyway
[05:49] <mMezquitale> Guest95020, use pastebin to print the output of "df"
[05:49] <neezer> I know, but it will tell us if that is what he did, or if there is still a chance that the partition is there, but just not reading.
[05:50] <Guest95020> okay.... plz w8
[05:50] <mMezquitale> !pastebin
[05:50] <Colloguy> can scrot take a screenshot of  the frontmost window, without having to click it?
[05:50] <vishesh> Guest95020: Press Alt+F2. Type gnome-terminal and press enter
[05:51] <vishesh> Guest95020: Once terminal is open type sudo fdisk -l. All tell us the output
[05:51] <bullgard4> 'man ps'in the section "STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS" lists a table headlined "CODE HEADER DESCRIPTION" to control the output format of the ps command. When do I have to use 'CODE', and wehn do I have to use 'HEADER'?

[05:52] <imganquan> hi all. I use openbox WM, how to autostart the ibus(a input method) after I type "startx", I write ibus-daemon in openbox's autostart.sh, but it didn't works. any suggestion?
[05:52] <Guest95020> :((
[05:52] <neezer> now try what vishesh said as well....use sudo fdisk -l.
[05:52] <JimmyJ> Guest95020, you're out of luck.
[05:52] <neezer> it will be a bit more detailed.
[05:52] <Guest95020> oh no
[05:52] <Guest95020> im so dead!!!!
[05:53] <mMezquitale> Guest95020, is it a desktop?  Your parents use that machine for business??
[05:53] <jwx> ouch
[05:53] <Guest95020> they use it for their email and stuff :(
[05:54] <Guest95020> oh im so dead :(
[05:54] <vinnie_> then just format the HD and shut it down and walk away and play stupid
[05:54] <vinnie_> lol
[05:54] <Guest95020> i am stupid and dead
[05:55] <ngocthien> hi
[05:55] <mMezquitale> Guest95020, if they dont use it for work then youre ok, maybe you just erased their pictures and your dad's porno but that's not a big deal, remember, you are their offspring and youll be surprised what parents would do for their children, and what they would forgive
[05:55] <Guest95020> there is no way to get windows back!!?!?!?
[05:55] <psy0nic> did you do a quick format or a full format?
[05:55] <JimmyJ> He probably doesn't know what a format is, psy0nic.
[05:56] <Guest95020> oh shit bye
[05:56] <mMezquitale> Guest95020, this is a good time for you to admit it, tell them it's christmas and that you made a big huge mistake, show them how ubuntu works, maybe they'll like it, then tell them it would be really nice if you had your own computer to experiment on so you wont damage theirs
[05:57] <JimmyJ> That made my night.
[05:57] <vinnie_> lol
[05:57] <mMezquitale> i think he was just pulling our leg though
[05:57] <vinnie_> either he installed kubuntu, or he was smart enough to install konversation
[05:57] <neezer> i hope so.

[06:05] <foul_owl> recording no longer works in karmic
[06:06] <foul_owl> no sound in on any channel, with any hardware setting
[06:06] <joe_> i dont know what that is
[06:06] <mMezquitale> foul_owl, did you experience this after upgrading from jaunty to karmic?
[06:06] <foul_owl> yes
[06:07] <mMezquitale> foul_owl, I suggest you search the forums or launch pad, there's a bug somewhere and most likely people are working on it, I would look on launchpad first though
[06:07] <hellyes> I have a folder icon on my desktop that has a lock on it ans an "x" in the upper right corner.  I cannot delete or open it.  It says I don't have permission.  I can
[06:08] <foul_owl> mMezquitale: any sort of failsafe settings?
[06:08] <hellyes> I can't seem to figure out how to give myself permission
[06:08] <psy0nic> try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1237360
[06:08] <hellyes> any ideas?
[06:08] <KalturaUser_rmne> hi guys. trying to install 9.10 over win7. im currently running this on wubu, but when i go in for the kill (to install the whole thing), for some reason i get caught up on page 4. It's trying to show me partitions, but it just shows me this big empty screen. I'm not quite sure what to do, and clicking next gives me an error: "No root file system is defined."
[06:09] <mMezquitale> foul_owl, Ive never had that problem but I have seen people coming in every now and then, unless you luck out and someone here has had the same problem I suggest you look at launchpad and the forum first and then try the channel at another time
[06:09] <IdentityOwl> me to but iam installing over a linux partion
[06:09] <bullgard4> 'man ps'in the section "STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS" lists a table headlined "CODE HEADER DESCRIPTION" to control the output format of the ps command. When do I have to use 'CODE', and when do I have to use 'HEADER'?
[06:09] <psy0nic> you have to remove dmraid Kal
[06:09] <mMezquitale> !who | psy0nic
[06:10] <foul_owl> mMezquitale: thanks. I will keep looking on the internet, on launchpad, forums, and I think I will keep trying here every so often. irc has always given me tons of help
[06:11] <psy0nic> KalturaUser_rmne you have to remove dmraid then rerun the installer
[06:11] <KalturaUser_rmne> psy0nic: what is dmraid?
[06:11] <hellyes> please help! I have a folder icon on my desktop that has a lock on it and an "x" in the upper right corner.  I cannot delete it because it says it's owner is "root". How do I change the permissions / ownership on this so I can delete it? Any ideas?
[06:11] <psy0nic> the package that broke the installer
[06:12] <KalturaUser_rmne> ah, alright.
[06:12] <mMezquitale> foul_owl, yes, irc helps a lot except in the exceptions=bug, when I had a problem nobody knew about they kept telling me to file a bug report but I thought it was useless since most likely it would take forever to get a reply, I was wrong!!!  I got faster responses in launchpad than I do in forums LoL
[06:12] <Quan-Time> hellyes: chmod
[06:12] <Quan-Time> hellyes: in a term window.. "man chmod" which means "manual on chmod command"..
[06:12] <foul_owl> mMezquitale: interesting. perhaps I should try that. can't tell if it's a bug or not. perhaps I will try filing a bug
[06:13] <Some_Person> Why does ubuntu use pulseaudio?
[06:14] <mMezquitale> foul_owl, search first, i've seen quite a few people asking the same question, most likely there's a bug reported already
[06:14] <joe_> psy0nic: I'm pretty new to linux, what is that page saying "yenta_socket"?
[06:14] <foul_owl> mMezquitale: searched quite a bit. nothing so far
[06:14] <Some_Person> I hate it and I have a couple of things configured to use the old oss because of it
[06:14] <KalturaUser_rmne> psy0nic: doing anything with dmraid just gives me back "no raid disks"

[06:27] <Billiard> hasibullah: which scanner do you have?
[06:27] <Some_Person> foul_owl: in particular, the "digital input source"

[06:31] <Billiard> hasibullah: what happens when you run the command "sudo scanimage -L"
[06:31] <Some_Person> foul_owl: You scrolled to the right and saw no sort of input source changer?
[06:32] <foul_owl> Some_Person: Yeah, digital input is not anywhere in there, nothing close really. There are "Mic" and "Mic select" channels
[06:32] <datz> what will happen if one attemps to install 64 bit OS on a 32 bit system?
[06:32] <foul_owl> but "Mic" is up at about 65 and mic select is "mic 1"

[06:33] <datz> I see, I wonder if my system is not 64bit capable...
[06:33] <datz> should be
[06:33] <Billiard> datz: the x64 live cd wont boot on a non 64bit system
[06:34] <APERSON> datz, what kind of cpu do you have?
[06:34] <flexible> hey, i'm having issues with my laptop not coming off standby or suspend
[06:34] <foul_owl> Some_Person: No effect. I don't have to restart gnome-sound-recorder every time I make changes to the sound settings do i?
[06:34] <flexible> it just sits there with a black screen, not doing anything and i have to reset it
[06:34] <datz> APERSON: it is a P4, but it should be capable I think
[06:35] <Some_Person> foul_owl: I'm not sure. I do know you have to quit alsamixer though
[06:35] <Some_Person> at least i do for the input settings
[06:35] <Some_Person> no, wait, nevermind, you don't have to quit alsamixer
[06:35] <foul_owl> Some_Person: Hmmm. perhaps that could be the issue. It's hard to tell what has to be "refreshed" so to speak
[06:35] <APERSON> datz, no
[06:35] <Troggie> Can anyone help me please:
[06:36] <Troggie> Hello all. I need some help please. I downloaded Ubuntu 9.10 and my server has RAID 1 SCSI. After the final reboot of the install, the GRUB can't find a bootable hard drive. What can I do?

[06:38] <Billiard> hasibullah: googling im reading that putting this file in "/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/" will make the scanner work http://gkall.hobby.nl/cism216.fw
[06:39] <mota_> can someone please help me activate my wireless card ?
[06:39] <Billiard> porKI: you wont be able to hibernate without a swap partition
[06:39] <mota_> I already downloaded ndswrapper
[06:39] <foul_owl> Some_Person: No good, still no werk
[06:39] <gaelfx> porKI: depends what you're doing, it should be able to function, but maybe not do all the things you expect it to do
[06:40] <datz> APERSON: thought I read differently, but I'll have to check
[06:40] <porKI> it seems that ubuntu is running slow :-(
[06:40] <mota_> can someone please help me ? please :)
[06:40] <gaelfx> porKI: is there any special reason you didn't make a swap?
[06:40] <Some_Person> foul_owl: Well, I'm not that experienced with these sorts of issues, so I don't know what more to say. You'll have to find someone else
[06:40] <Snares> mota_: What is your problem?
[06:40] <APERSON> datz, if it's dual core, yes, but a p4 isn't dual core
[06:40] <Some_Person> !ask | mota_
[06:41] <mobi-sheep> porKI: I have 3G Ram and I didn't use SWAP either. How fast is your processor? I have 2.6 Ghz and things seems to be smooth for me.
[06:41] <Snares> Ubuntu runs fine on an Atom :P
[06:41] <foul_owl> Some_Person: Thanks for the help!! I appreciate it :)
[06:41] <mota_> I am trying to connect to the internet wireless but I somehow cant :/ I downloaded ndswrapper and it still wont work ...
[06:42] <datz> APERSON: I think it is the Pentium Prescott 506
[06:42] <porKI> ohhk , then it is my processor but xp runs fast as compare to ubuntu
[06:42] <Snares> mota_: Is there encryption on the connection?
[06:42] <mota_> thats like the wep key right ?
[06:42] <Billiard> mota_: did you install your drivers?
[06:42] <Snares> mota_: Yes.
[06:42] <gaelfx> I want to find a decent blu-ray burner for a new compy I'm building, does anyone know of any compatibility lists that actually have relevant information on this topic? I've tried googling, but I get a bunch of crappy websites
[06:42] <mota_> cus if it is I already put it in and it still doesnt work :/
[06:42] <Snares> mota_: But you shouldn't be using WEP :P
[06:42] <datz> APERSON: It might just be the 505
[06:43] <mobi-sheep> porKI: If you think you have a slow laptop, you could try Lubuntu or Xubuntu.
[06:43] <mota_> hmm
[06:43] <Snares> mota_: What do you mean by "it still doesn't work"?
[06:43] <mota_> driver ?
[06:43] <mota_> like it wont connect
[06:43] <APERSON> datz, are you on a linux distro?
[06:43] <Snares> mota_: Does it attempt to connect? Is there an error message?
[06:43] <datz> APERSON: yes
[06:43] <mota_> no it doesnt even show
[06:43] <gaelfx> mota_: simply downloading ndiswrapper isn't enough, you need to use it to install the correct driver for your wireless card
[06:43] <APERSON> datz, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[06:43] <mota_> like there is no option for wireless
[06:44] <datz> APERSON: I did check, didn't see any 64 :(
[06:44] <porKI> mobi-sheep but why xp runs fast ?
[06:44] <mota_> how do I do that ?
[06:44] <Snares> mota_: Ah. Yeah then it's a driver like gaelfx said :D
[06:44] <datz> APERSON: I guess I must have the 505
[06:44] <mota_> cus I did it with my other computer and it worked fine and on this one it wont work :/
[06:44] <APERSON> datz, that'll tell you what model you have
[06:44] <gaelfx> mota_: do you know what terminal is?
[06:44] <mobi-sheep> porKI: Maybe because you turned off SWAP.  XP use paging file (which is similar0.
[06:44] <mota_> yes
[06:44] <mota_> i do know what terminal is
[06:45] <porKI> how to enable swap then ?
[06:45] <datz> APERSON: the 506 has EM64T
[06:45] <gaelfx> mota_: when you type 'lspci' does it list your wireless card?
[06:45] <Billiard> porKI: what is slow? did you check what is using your cpu the most?
[06:45] <mota_> hmm i dont know hold on
[06:45] <APERSON> datz, cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name"
[06:45] <Some_Person> mota_: Go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers. See if anything for your wifi is listed there
[06:45] <Billiard> porKI: you can add a swap file or create a swap parition which might require partition resizing
[06:46] <datz> APERSON: http://pastebin.com/m20533e3f
[06:46] <porKI> Billiard , from where should i create swap partition and what size of partition , my ram is 2.5gb
[06:47] <APERSON> datz, nope, no 64 :/
[06:47] <mota_> ok I typed the code on terminal and it said a bunch of stuff i dont understand an on hardware drivers it doesnt list anything at all :/
[06:47] <gaelfx> porKI: if you still have the install CD, you should be able to resize the partition using that in Live mode, though you may have to add the partition editor to the software
[06:47] <datz> APERSON: ah, that would explain the failed installs
[06:47] <gaelfx> mota_: can you pastebin the output of lspci for us?
[06:47] <mota_> yes
[06:47] <APERSON> datz, do you have a particular reason for wanting x64?
[06:47] <datz> APERSON: All this time I thought I had the 506
[06:47] <Billiard> porKI: you should check what process is using your cpu the most, maybe you didnt enable your video drivers?

[06:48] <porKI> Billiard video drivers are enabled

[06:48] <datz> APERSON: not really, going to do a fresh install, thought I'd go for 64 bit this time
[06:48] <Snares> ooooo!
[06:48] <datz> APERSON: seems to run well on my other system
[06:48] <mota_> o no did I get banned ?
[06:48] <gaelfx> mota_: sorry, that was my fault a little bit, I should have been clearer about using pastebin
[06:48] <datz> but that is a quad core
[06:49] <APERSON> datz, it runs well on my end as well, but I have 4GB of ram to use and I do lots of media encoding
[06:49] <gaelfx> mota_: no, but you need to use pastebin to post long messages like that
[06:49]  * Snares points mota_ to http://pastebin.com
[06:49] <mota_> o ok
[06:49] <mota_> i already have it up do I just link you to it ?
[06:50] <Snares> mota_: Yes.
[06:50] <datz> APERSON: yea, only 2GB on the P4 system, would be fine I bet.  4GB DDR2 on new sys too. :)
[06:50] <mota_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/346851/
[06:50] <mota_> ok
[06:50] <Snares> mota_: Is this an onboard wireless controller or a PCI slot?
[06:50] <datz> APERSON: well, looks like P4's have only one or two models with 64bit support
[06:50] <mota_> pci slot
[06:51] <gaelfx> mota_: do you know what brand the card is?
[06:51] <mota_> it works fine on windows though i dont know why it doesnt on ubuntu :/
[06:51] <Snares> mota_: I would guess you might need to pull it out and write down the card model, manufacturer, name, etc.
[06:51] <mota_> yea
[06:51] <Snares> mota_: Boot into windows and write down the hardware info on it.
[06:51] <mota_> linksys
[06:51] <Snares> mota_: Do you know the model name?
[06:51] <mota_> umm hold on i think i can get that info
[06:52] <Some_Person> Honestly I think pulseaudio is a pile of crap
[06:52] <timG4> Anyone familiar with IP-Over-Firewire? I'd like to get it working on Jaunty.
[06:52] <Some_Person> I have a couple of things configured to bypass it and use oss instead because of it, although that makes it take control of the sound card
[06:52] <mota_> yea its wmp54gs

[06:57] <Snares> Some_Person: No kidding, I mean, what the heck.
[06:58] <Snares> DaZ: Well if you are of that opinion, then why are you in this channel?
[06:58] <timG4> Anyone know how to configure IP-Over-Firewire (eth1394)? I haven't gotten even a bite on this in hours.
[06:58] <kuttans> Daz: not exactly like that. there are lot of things where both are diff
[06:58] <airtonix> Some_Person, you can uninstall pulse-audio if you want...
[06:58] <Snares> kuttans: It is all, completely, and totally different. If you want to say GTK=Windows, go ahead.
[06:58] <Snares> kuttans: But Ubuntu is not Windows, or even close :P
[06:59] <Snares> That's like saying Mac is Windows.
[06:59] <kuttans> Daz:have you ever come across a os named linspire which was named as lindows previously
[06:59] <Some_Person> airtonix: I can do that, but I'd be left without a gnome-panel icon and my multimedia keys would be broken, due to karmic's overly tight pulseaudio integration
[06:59] <DaZ> Snares: to protect people from ubuntu users advice :3
[06:59] <hasibullah> how can i use my scanner
[06:59] <airtonix> Some_Person, you can take care of the multimedia keys in another way
[06:59] <kuttans> Snares: sure i agree with that by all means
[06:59] <Some_Person> airtonix: How?
[06:59] <Snares> DaZ: Why don't you just leave and stop bashing Ubuntu then. I don't think you really need to protect anyone.
[06:59] <kuttans> hasibullah: use sane and saned for that
[07:00] <airtonix> Some_Person, there is a few programs in the repos i believe that let you tie commands to special keys
[07:00] <Some_Person> airtonix: Ok, and the panel icon?
[07:00] <Psinetic> DaZ, Snares, might be best if you guys took this to #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[07:00] <Snares> Psinetic: Good idea.
[07:00] <kuttans> DaZ: you completely misunderstood ubuntu i guess, go back to basics pls
[07:00] <airtonix> Some_Person, you want a tray icon to control OSS ?

[07:02] <Some_Person> airtonix: Can you suggest a package for the multimedia keys?
[07:02] <kuttans> DaZ: ubuntu's ideology is something far ahead from technology. so please checkout there for that not here
[07:02] <airtonix> Some_Person, yes but its as close as you get to intrepid or hardy i think

 ok thank you very much  now i need to install that yes
[07:07] <Some_Person> airtonix: Well I need to be able to set custom commands to those keys
[07:07] <kuttans> hasibullah: use synaptic for installing those programs. It is the easy and best way
[07:07] <Some_Person> airtonix: The keyboard shortcuts thing only lets you set various commands to keys
[07:07] <airtonix> Some_Person, yes, so then you need to use the alsamixer cli to make those changes
[07:08] <airtonix> Some_Person, you can run bash scripts too
[07:08] <Some_Person> that will probably work then
[07:08] <Some_Person> thank you very much
[07:08] <hasibullah> how can i use synaptic
[07:09] <airtonix> Some_Person, do you have amixer installed ?
[07:10] <Some_Person> airtonix: yes

[07:14] <chilli0> airtonix,  In what part ?
[07:14] <airtonix> chilli0, it will be fairly obvious once you open the file... (it is excessively commented )
[07:14] <Some_Person> The sound preferences before karmic let you choose your sound system. Karmic forces pulseaudio on you unless you work around it
[07:14] <chilli0> airtonix,  Nop because that file is blonk
[07:15] <hasibullah> how to use synaptic
[07:15] <chilli0> airtonix,  Nop because that file is blank *
[07:15] <mota_> quick question how do I extract with wine ? does anyone know ?
[07:15] <airtonix> then something is not right or you are not using a proper apache install ( at least not from ubuntu repo) because mine is chock block full of settings and text
[07:16] <DaZ> mota_: extract what?
[07:16] <airtonix> mota_, extract with wine? you mean use a windows archive program on a compressed file ?
[07:16] <mota_> linksys drive
[07:16] <mota_> its in .zip and I need to open it
[07:16] <Some_Person> Why is the ubuntu team forcing pulseaudio on us anyway?
[07:16] <DaZ> chilli0: so it's either wrong file or you don't have apache [;
[07:16] <airtonix> mota_, you don't need wine for that
[07:16] <chilli0> DaZ,  I do
[07:17] <chilli0> It was set up for vms
[07:17] <kuttans> ilembitov : keep pressing shift key while the computer is booting you will get the grub menu and from there you can press e and can edit the boot configuration

[07:17] <hasibullah> how to use scanner
[07:17] <mota_> airtonix this is telling me I do need it

[07:18] <DaZ> mota_: wine file.exe
[07:18] <mota_> ok once I have it extracted how do I get it to ork ?
[07:18] <airtonix> mota_, if the exe is just a self extracting archive you can just use the mthod i mentioned
[07:18] <kuttans> hasibullah: synaptic is under system->administration -> synaptic package manager

[07:19] <mota_> airtonix how come it wont work ? im sorry this is my first day on ubuntu :/
[07:19] <kuttans> bullgard4 : check how the system monitor shows the processes then you will come to know when to use both of them
[07:19] <DaZ> mota_: i think it'll be more comfortable for you if you just double click the exe [;

[07:21] <airtonix> 2.6 really
[07:21] <DaZ> APERSON: clicking works for me
[07:21] <mota_> daz but where is the .exe ? it ends with .bin
[07:21] <airtonix> DaZ, maybe you already set exe file types to open with wine
[07:21] <mota_> daz my computer is really old ... :/
[07:22] <APERSON> DaZ, it always wants to open it up as an archive... hmm
[07:22] <airtonix> DaZ, (its not setup like that by default)
[07:22] <DaZ> airtonix: i ubuntu developers are capable of doing it default [;
[07:22] <airtonix> APERSON, right click the exe, properties > open with tab change it to the wine entry
[07:22] <DaZ> whatever. mota_ doesn't matter, the driver is in the kernel imo
[07:23] <bullgard4> kuttans: Your answer is wrong. I am used to use system monitor. It is unrelated to the question which I have put.
[07:23] <APERSON> airtonix, I'll have to do that sometime.  I don't run windows programs much so I always forget to futz with it :)
[07:23] <mota_> where is that ?
[07:24] <airtonix> APERSON, yeah that tab on a file properites box is often over looked for many associations
[07:24] <mota_> i keep right clicking and "open with wine" or something like that and nothing happens :/
[07:24] <kuttans> bullgard4: the system monitor is almost based on the principle of ps command : the list and output format options are almost like selecting columns to be shown in the output of the command. if im wrong im sorry for that
[07:24] <mobi-sheep> mota_: What is this .bin file?
[07:24] <Daughain> mota_; .bin is a cd image file. You need to mount it before you can use it.

[07:25] <APERSON> .bin could be a binary
[07:25] <mota_> how do I mount it ?
[07:25] <airtonix> mota_,  you dont.
[07:25] <Daughain> Linux...True.....Still adjusting...
[07:25] <kuttans> bullgard4: i guess you might be knowing that unix command outputs are structured in such a way that it can be used as an input to another command, for that purpose there are lot of output modfiers .
[07:25] <bullgard4> kuttans: I know that. But your message does not answer the question which I have put.
[07:25] <mota_> mobi-sheep it is a driver for a linksys wireless card
[07:26] <airtonix> Daughain, you're not wrong though...just in this case the bin comes from a windows driver installer thingy
[07:26] <kuttans> sorry i got the question wrong i guess. let me do a small research and come back to you bullgard4
[07:26] <Daughain> Kinda just sat down here, too....
[07:26] <ferro> #ubuntu.es
[07:27] <airtonix> mota_, so you unpacked the exe file you got from the linksys website... step one of the page you linked before...follow the rest of the page
[07:27] <mota_> does any one here know how to get a linksys wmp54gs wireless card to work ?
[07:27] <adante> hi guys
[07:27] <adante> how do i get audio working?
[07:28] <bullgard4> adante: !audio | adante
[07:28] <bullgard4> !audio | adante
[07:28] <airtonix> mota_, it might also be helpful if you gave us the exact url of the page where you downloaded the driver from
[07:28] <Psinetic> can someone help me please? I'm getting an error when I upgrade: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[07:28] <Psinetic>   ubuntu-ce: Depends: wine-christian-repos but it is not going to be installed
[07:28] <Psinetic> E: Broken packages
[07:29] <mota_> airtonix ok
[07:29] <airtonix> mota_, also in google i typed : "ubuntu karmic WMP54GS" and got : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1342611
[07:29] <mota_> airtonix et al. this is the website : http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WPSM54G/download
[07:30] <adante> bullgard4: is there a way that i could get sound working that doesn't involve 3 hours of work
[07:30] <bullgard4> Psinetic: Most likely you will have to wait (from a few hours to a few days), then retry updating, and everything will proceed smoothly without an error.
[07:30] <airtonix> mota_, you downloaded the 57mb file ?
[07:30] <bullgard4> adante: It depends.
[07:30] <Psinetic> bullgard4, it's been almost a month now :(
[07:30] <Daughain> Psinetic; ALso, make sure you reload your sources for synaptics. I;ve run acros that a few times.
[07:30] <sam_sam> i want to write a shellscript to mount partitions on startup. i wrote mount /dev/disk-x for each partition but when i run the script it gives following error:mount: can't find /dev/sda8 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[07:30] <sam_sam> any solution???
[07:31] <bullgard4> Psinetic: That is too long. I would recommend to file an error report in Launchpad.
[07:31] <mota_> airtonix no i downloaded the 318kb file
[07:31] <BinaryMan> sam_sam: Add the mounts to /etc/fstab
[07:31] <DaZ> sam_sam: why don't just use fstab?
[07:31] <Psinetic> ok
[07:31] <ubuntutrepxe> sam_sam: dude why not just edit /etc/fstab
[07:31] <DaZ> mota_: you'd need the 50mb one
[07:31] <sam_sam> can u explain a bit more ?
[07:31] <airtonix> mota_, the firmware file which i assume is intended to be flashed onto the device and not used as a driver in the operating system of your computer
[07:31] <BinaryMan> sam_sam: type in the following command
[07:32] <ubuntutrepxe> !fstab | sam_sam
[07:32] <DaZ> mota_: but you don't need it because your device is supported by the kernel :f
[07:32] <BinaryMan> sam_sam: sudo -w /etc/fstab
[07:32] <BinaryMan> whoops
[07:32] <BinaryMan> sam_sam: sudo nano -w /etc/fstab
[07:32] <airtonix> mota_, see comment above by DaZ
[07:32] <BinaryMan> I would encourage VI, but that could end up a mess.
[07:32] <DaZ> bcm43xx
[07:32] <airtonix> mota_, i doubt you downloaded a OS driver to be honest
[07:33] <mota_> daz and airtonix thanx :)
[07:33] <sam_sam> ok thank u i will try it :) god bless u
[07:33] <APERSON> !fstab > sam_sam
[07:33] <adante> bullgard4: i do not have a sound group, is my configuration messed up or is this documentation out of date
[07:33] <BinaryMan> sam_sam: Just make a backup of fstab in case you mess it up.
[07:34] <Zionist> anyone around for help on ubuntu how to?
[07:34] <BinaryMan> sam_sam: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
[07:34] <fidin> how can i set up my ubuntu to run a dns server for my other local computers
[07:34] <BinaryMan> sam_sam: That'll create a copy of fstab for you.
[07:34] <APERSON> !anyone | Zionist
[07:34] <llutz> fidin: easiest: install/configure dnsmasq
[07:35] <llutz> fidin: else: install/configure bind9
[07:35] <Zionist> do i need to plug in my comp to modem directly via ethernet to properly get drivers
[07:35] <Zionist> working on windows xp atm
[07:35] <sam_sam> thanks binaryman
[07:35] <airtonix> Zionist, ethernet connection is more desirable over all than usb for networking
[07:36] <Zionist> but can i wirelesly find the neccesary drivers needed?
[07:36] <airtonix> Zionist, magically ?
[07:36] <TimbukFive> hey
[07:36] <Zionist> like say right now i was to insert a cd with ubuntu loaded on it..booted and everything
[07:36] <BinaryMan> Zionist: Are you having problems getting your wireless NIC working?
[07:36] <TimbukFive> want to delete files that i have located before with locate
[07:36] <Wakawaka> does someone have any idea why I can ping www.google.com from terminal but i can't browse from firefox? i'm running wmware in nat mode
[07:36] <TimbukFive> how to do?
[07:37] <Zionist> would i beable to wirelessly find a driver neccesary to be able to run windows programs
[07:37] <bullgard4> adante: You need to have a 'audio' group, and pulse needs to be a member of the 'audio' group too.
[07:37] <TimbukFive> !locate
[07:37] <Zionist> BinaryMan no...I haven't started anything yet because i don't want to screw anything up
[07:37] <chilli0> Help lol i removed apache2 then removed the apache2 file in etc
[07:37] <airtonix> TimbukFive, this is a bash question really .
[07:37] <Zionist> so i'm doing whatever research i can before upgradin
[07:38] <BinaryMan> Wakawaka: Applications -> System Tools -> Virtual Network Editor
[07:38] <luie> hi all
[07:38] <chilli0> And reinstalled the folders cameback but no files
[07:38] <TimbukFive> yes it is, but maybe someone knows more :s
[07:38] <luie> about what?
[07:38] <airtonix> TimbukFive, they would at #bash
[07:38] <luie> vmware?
[07:38] <TimbukFive> about locate and deleting files that were located
[07:38] <TimbukFive> ok thanks i do this
[07:39] <luie> what about it?
[07:39] <Wakawaka> BinaryMan what about it? like my internet connection work in terminal in ubuntu but not when in launch firefox
[07:39] <airtonix> TimbukFive, there are some fairly savvy people at #bash
[07:39] <Wakawaka> BinaryMan totaly stumps me what too do :(
[07:39] <adante> bullgard4: lspci -V shows an Intel 82801JI audio control, kernel module snd-hda-intel, i have this module installed, aplay -l does not show any audio devices, where should i go from here?
[07:39] <airtonix> !who luie
[07:39] <luie> have you tried other browsers>
[07:39] <airtonix> !who | luie
[07:39] <luie> ?
[07:39] <luie> cool ubottu
[07:39] <soreau> Wakawaka: What happens when you try to load a page in firefox?
[07:39] <BinaryMan> Wakawaka: Edit your virtual network devices. Personally, I deleted all mine, then created vmnet0 as a NAT, using local DHCP, and had it pick a random subnet to use.
[07:40] <BinaryMan> in my case, 172.16.101.0
[07:40] <airtonix> luie, also people just ignore you if you don't prefix your messages with their name if you want them to notice.
[07:40] <Wakawaka> soreau nothing it just hangs
[07:40] <luie> thanks airtronix
[07:40] <Wakawaka> binaryman will try that
[07:40] <BinaryMan> Then in your network settings within VMWare, change your network device to 'custom' and specify /dev/vmnet0 as the device.
[07:40] <soreau> Wakawaka: What do you mean hangs? Like freezes the computer?
[07:41] <BinaryMan> If you're VM is still powered on, you may have to reconnect the device and request a new IP from DHCP.
[07:41] <Wakawaka> soreau i mean its not giving dns error or anyhting it just; does nothing, it doesnt freeze
[07:41] <soreau> Wakawaka: Does 'ping google.com' work from cli?
[07:41] <Wakawaka> soreau yeah thats the weird part
[07:42] <hellyes> have there been any bug fixes or updates to ubuntu 9.10 yet?  Specifically mounting a network drive from a windows 7 machine?
[07:42] <soreau> Wakawaka: Have you tried a different browser to test if it's just firefox that is the problem?
[07:42] <hellyes> ...ON a windows 7 machine
[07:42] <insmod> question ? new to ipods not linux -- i can load songs on the new touch but it won't go past first screen
[07:42] <chilli0> Help lol i removed apache2 then removed the apache2 file in etc
[07:42] <chilli0> And reinstalled the folders cameback but no files
[07:42] <mobi-sheep> Wakawaka: Check your /etc/resolv.conf
[07:43] <soreau> mobi-sheep: If it was a nameserver issue, pinging google from cli wouldn't work either
[07:43] <bullgard4> adante: Your audio configuration is messed up if '~$ aplay -l' does not show any audio devices. Did you check the audio group (what I advised you earlier)?
[07:44] <adante> bullgard4: yes, i agree my audio configuration is messed up, yes, i am now a member of the audio group
[07:44] <bullgard4> s/what/which/

[07:50] <kajo> hey, I have a Dell 640, and all of a sudden last night I started hearing this awful grinding noise. At first I thought it was my old DVD drive, so I removed it because the noise was awful. Sound continued, and I was really afraid for a short time it was my hard drive. So I turned it off, turned it on, and immedietly the sound returned. Tried moving the laptop around, getting clues, unplugging, removing battery... I am 99% sure now, though,
[07:50] <kajo> that this is the fan. WTF happened, and what can I do to fix this? Google doesn't show anything that seems to really hit the spot. Running it now, btw, for a long period of time (I have a pentium 4m processor, which can get hot) will cause auto-shutdown from the heat sensor now.
[07:50] <chilli0> om26er,  I think that theres an issue there

[08:11] <hasibullah> luie:what to install plugins for different format songs
[08:11] <chilli0_> http://pastebin.com/m904fa85
[08:11] <Daughain> MenZa; Ok, tell me what I missed.....I setup medibuntu and installed libdvdcss2, still no movie. Used the link ya gave me, and followed the dirs there to add the repository and keyring, then added libdvdcss2 via synaptics....No issues on install. Any ideaS?
[08:11] <luie> k good night all
[08:12] <MenZa> Daughain: Hmm, I'm not sure -- I don't watch DVDs on my computer.
[08:12] <MenZa> !dvd | Daughain
[08:12] <kajo> ridiculous fan noise on a older dell laptop.... any advice?
[08:12] <MenZa> Read that stuff ^
[08:12] <luie> kajo take it back
[08:12] <MenZa> kajo: Try asking in ##hardware. It's offtopic for this channel.
[08:12] <kajo> ridiculous as in "grinding", out of nowhere.
[08:12] <mobi-sheep> Daughain: Try "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh"
[08:12] <kajo> thanks, menza, didn't know.
[08:12] <luie> kajo that is a hardware issue
[08:12] <Circs> MenZa, Could be S/W related
[08:12] <Daughain> mobi-sheep,  Thanks.
[08:13] <MenZa> Circs: That /is/ true. Unlikely, however.
[08:13] <MenZa> (Although I fully acknowledge your argument)
[08:13] <chilli0_> Whats wrong here ? http://pastebin.com/m904fa85
[08:13] <Circs> MenZa, Wanna give me a hand, it's something that is certain ubuntu S/W related and easy, my brain is just full of failure right now
[08:14] <MenZa> Circs: What, kajo's problem?
[08:14] <Daughain> kajo That sounds like bearings going bad.
[08:14] <Circs> MenZa, Nope, my problem.
[08:14] <MenZa> Circs: I don't even know what it is. Go on?
[08:14] <ubuntunewbie>  luie: where can I find  nvidia-xconfig file ?
[08:14] <MenZa> ubuntunewbie: It's a program. It comes with restricted NVIDIA drivers.

[08:15] <ubuntar> chilli0_: a2dismod: not found < may be you already removed it?
[08:15] <Circs> MenZa, I'm trying to get zsnes on my netbook, it gives me the whole "Your computer cannot install this" blah blah (lpia) bit how do I rectify this?
[08:15] <usamahashimi> hi
[08:15] <chilli0_> ubuntar,  I did remove the file , but how can i remove the pakage
[08:15] <usamahashimi> how can i access my ubuntu 9.10 from windows xp?
[08:15] <ubuntar> chilli0_: install again and try
[08:15] <MenZa> Circs: By downloading an lpia binary, or compiling from source I guess.
[08:15] <MenZa> usamahashimi: What does that mean?
[08:16] <Daughain> mobi-sheep,  Do I need to reboot the system after?? I'm still getting a 'no plugins' \error.
[08:16] <chilli0_> ubuntar,  Reinstall you mean. and i did try
[08:16] <mobi-sheep> Daughain: Plugins for what?
[08:16] <MenZa> Circs: Oh wait, it's not a standalone architecture.
[08:16] <MenZa> Circs: That's weird. It beats me. :\
[08:16] <Daughain> mobi-sheep, No clue. thats all movie player says.
[08:16] <mobi-sheep> Daughain: Restart the movie player.
[08:16] <ubuntar> chilli0_: script trying to remove something doesn't exist,so install it again and try not to delete without script
[08:16] <usamahashimi> MenZa: ubuntu filesystem is ext4 and obviously not showing in XP so i am looking for some software to access that ext4 drive from windows xp
[08:17] <Circs> MenZa, I really thought this was going to be easy. My netbook CAN run i386 code
[08:17] <MenZa> usamahashimi: You can't.
[08:17] <MenZa> usamahashimi: Sorry :(
[08:17] <Daughain> I have repeatedfly......Unless it isn't closing properly....
[08:17] <MenZa> usamahashimi: There are ext2 drivers which, to an extent, work with ext3 filesystems, but trying it with ext4 might blow up your filesystem, and I wouldn't recommend it.
[08:17] <Circs> maybe there's some force option
[08:17] <usamahashimi> MenZa: ext2ifs can access ext3 but it is not accessing ext4
[08:17] <MenZa> usamahashimi: Mhm.
[08:18] <Daughain> mobi-sheep, I close out after every try. Still no luck.
[08:18] <kheera> usamahashimi: you can create a new partition on your drive for a filesystem that ubuntu and xp can share, then move your /home folder onto the new partition.
[08:18] <kisuke> how would one change the ubuntu logon screen
[08:18] <Circs> MenZa, This is appalling
[08:18] <mobi-sheep> Daughain: What media player? VLC?
[08:18] <Circs> MenZa, /me attacks intel with a rusty chainsaw
[08:18] <mobi-sheep> Circs: You could try "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture packageName.deb"
[08:19] <ubuntar> chilli0_: find what is a2dismod and why script cannot delete it
[08:19] <Circs> mobi-sheep, Weee
[08:19] <MenZa> Circs: I apologise for not knowing that :<
[08:19] <Daughain> mobi-sheep, applications/sound&video/Movie Player    Thats all I know.
[08:19] <MenZa> kisuke: One wouldn't.
[08:19] <usamahashimi> kheera: i want to copy some data from my home dir to xp without rebooting xp
[08:19] <MenZa> usamahashimi: Sounds like you're out of luck :(
[08:20] <mobi-sheep> Daughain: Run in the terminal "sudo aptitude install vlc" and check again in Apps --> Sounds & Videos again.
[08:20] <chilli0_> ubuntar, This is annoying me so much
[08:20]  * mobi-sheep does not need to say again twice. :<
[08:20] <Daughain> Ok,,,
[08:20] <Circs> could someone tell me what the package name of zsnes is?
[08:20] <MenZa> !find zsnes
[08:20] <MenZa> Circs: zsnes.
[08:20] <kisuke> MenZa: why not? ye drums are starting to get annoying
[08:20] <MenZa> :p
[08:20] <Circs> Hmmm
[08:20] <Circs> Doom is imminent
[08:20] <kheera> usamahashimi: how much data?  you could email it to yourself if small, or put it on a thumb drive.
[08:21] <MenZa> kisuke: Oh, the /sound/?
[08:21] <MenZa> kheera: That would still require a reboot :p
[08:21] <kheera> oooh. hes in xp now.
[08:21] <MenZa> kheera: aaaye.
[08:21] <Daughain> mobi-sheep,  Let ya know when it finishes.
[08:21] <MenZa> kisuke: I forget, sorry :(
[08:21] <kisuke> menza: among other things but mainly yeah
[08:21] <bullgard4> Synaptic: "gvfs is a userspace virtual filesystem where mount runs as a separate process which you talk to via dbus. It also contains a gio module that seamlessly adds gvfs support to all applications using the gio API. It also supports exposing the gvfs mounts to non-gio applications using fuse." What for is gvfs (or gvfsd) used mostly?

[08:22] <ManBloOD> !help
[08:23] <Daughain> mobi-sheep,  Ok, vlc is installed.
[08:23] <mobi-sheep> Circs: It is easier to search for stuffs in terminal than synaptic IMO.
[08:24] <Circs> mobi-sheep, Neither responds to zsnes, sudo apt-get install zsnes responds with cannot find package
[08:24] <Circs> Which, according to ubottu, is garbage
[08:24] <mota_> hi can someone help me enable and configure your wireless device ? please.
[08:24] <mobi-sheep> Circs: I see snes9x-x and snes9express (GTK+ front-end for snes9x)
[08:25] <mota_> Enable and configure *my wireless device xp
[08:25] <bullgard4> Circs: Contrary to what you said, my Synaptic finds zsnes.
[08:25] <Circs> bullgard4, Yes, i thiunk mine is borked
[08:25] <rww> !info zsnes
[08:25] <rww> Circs: note the "only available for i386 amd64" part :\
lots of work for one person to help -- you have to write an interface file and learn iwconfig and iwlist
[08:26] <bullgard4> Circs: Hurry up to get repaired your Synaptic.
[08:26] <Circs> Why can't I just have the deb file then?
[08:26] <mota_> :/
[08:26] <Wakawaka> anyone run VMWARE & Ubuntu with Wireless? how did they succed
[08:26] <chilli0_> ubuntar, This is the error E: libapache2-mod-python: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
[08:26] <Daughain> mobi-sheep, Itplays in vlc. Thanks.
[08:27] <mobi-sheep> rww: I'm using amd64 but I don't see zsnes. Wtt!
[08:27] <mobi-sheep> Daughain: You're welcome. :-)
[08:27] <Circs> Hate to do it this way, but could someone just download the .deb and post it somewhere for me?
[08:27] <mota_> insmod so there is no way for me to get my wireless card to work is there ?
[08:27] <ubuntar> chilli0_: as i said, find what is a2dismod and why script cannot delete it
[08:27] <rww> mobi-sheep: mmm, there's totally a bug report for the amd64 one
[08:27] <Daughain> Just wish I knew why it wouldnt play in movie player like it did under 9.04

sure
[08:28] <flexible> can anyone here help me get my laptop wifi card working properly? it keeps dropping out, even when i'm 2 metres from the router
 I can tell you how but i won't walk you through (to long) just look it up
[08:28] <TangentCollision> does anyone know how I could make a presistant live USB drive of ubuntu netbook remix?
[08:28] <mota_> insmod I've tried everything and it wont work :'( I'm on step 5 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=381594
[08:28] <TangentCollision> I do not have 4 gb of space to spare
[08:28] <ubuntar> flexible: try iwconfig
[08:29] <flexible> and post my results?
[08:29] <rww> mobi-sheep: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zsnes/+bug/184255 is why amd64 isn't happening. There are complicated differences I don't understand between the list ubottu uses and reality that exist for some reason I also don't understand, iirc.
 let me make it easy
[08:29] <ubuntar> no it is tool for configure wifi
[08:29] <mota_> insmod ok
[08:29] <ranjan> hello every body can any body help me in finding the hidden link which are embed on on-line  flash based player for viewing on-line streaming videos
[08:29] <ubuntar>  flexible: just read man iwconfig may be it will help
[08:30] <petsounds> !usb > TangentCollision
 first is it supported card or do you need ndiswrapper
[08:30] <flexible> ubuntar: i've already iwconfig'd... i'm not sure what you are wnting me to find...
[08:30] <mota_> i need ndiswrapper and Ive already downloaded it
[08:30] <mota_> insmod ^^^^
[08:31] <chadi> after doing a clean install on 9.10, I noticed that pidgin is not there anymore. Why was it out of the distro?
[08:31] <TangentCollision> petsounds: thank you for the page
[08:31] <Circs> lol gdebi installed it, no issues.
[08:31] <ubuntar> flexible: there are many options -power and others you configured all of them&
[08:31] <petsounds> TangentCollision, np :-)
[08:31] <TangentCollision> petsounds: you think this will work for the silliness that is UNR?
 install load the module then check ifconfig and iwconfig for the name wlan0 or ath0 etc
[08:31] <cjones> why have we lost support for kino ?
[08:32] <TangentCollision> I have no other reason to water my brain down then
[08:32] <Daughain> chadi; No clue, bit ya can always go ahead and install it. I did.
[08:32] <cards_00> hi
[08:32] <Circs> mobi-sheep, For future reference, if anyone has a similar issue with lpia arch, just link them to the .deb and let gdebi handle it like butter
[08:32] <chadi> Daughain sure, just wondering why it is not there :/
[08:32] <mota_> insmod run those commands on terminal right ?
[08:32] <flexible> ubuntar: that won't help if it is a driver problem though will it?
[08:32] <petsounds> TangentCollision, yes it will work, i'm using UNR and have one persistent usb
[08:32] <flexible> ubuntar: for example, now, it won't even connect
[08:32] <Daughain> chadi; Wish I could tell you. I tried empathy, and wasnt to fond of it either.
[08:32] <cjones> |kino
[08:33] <Guest88712> wow
[08:33] <Guest88712> cool
[08:33] <cjones> !kino
[08:33] <mobi-sheep> Circs: The way I see it, lpia is eerily similar to i386 with few adjustments for power, but I'd stick with i386 as there are more (or better) support.
[08:33] <chadi> yeah, nor were I
[08:34] <ubuntar> flexible: if it is driver - than may be try to update the driver, or if the driver inside kernel,may be to update the kernel
[08:34] <cjones> why have we lost support for kino ?
[08:34] <Circs> mobi-sheep, Yeah generally a better idea, but shrug
[08:34] <mota_> insmod I just ran it an it says "no wireless extentions." for both lo and etho does that mean my card is messed up ?
[08:34] <mota_> insmod it works fine on windows I dont know what else to do O.O
 that's because you never set up ndiswrapper ----- then add the correct lines to /ect/network/interfaces
[08:35] <mobi-sheep> mota_: Have you seen !hardware to find information on your laptop make/model?
 then ifup <x> done
[08:36] <flexible> ubuntar: i've updated according to the update manager
[08:36] <mota_> insmod how do I set up ndiswrapper ?
[08:37] <mota_> mobi-sheep what do you mean ?
[08:37] <ubuntar> you can try to go to kernel.org and dowload latest kernel,compile it and may be your problem will be fixed
[08:37] <ubuntar> flexible:
[08:37] <mota_> mobi-sheep Im on a desktop
 run ndiswrapper and install the windows driver
[08:38] <ManBloOD> How I can boot if there is problems with files, I have try ctrl+alt+ f2 but its show cursor but nothing happen also..
[08:38] <flexible> should i try and use ndiswrapper
[08:38] <cjones> why have we lost support for kino ?
[08:38] <ubuntar> flexible: find manuals about kernel compilation
[08:38] <mota_> insmod how do i run it ? where is it at ?
[08:38] <ManBloOD> please, help me.
[08:38] <mobi-sheep> mota_: Okay. Could you supply information on your usb wifi card?
[08:39] <ubuntar> flexible: or just try other config of iwconfig
 i told you I can tell you what to do but i can't explain everything (takes to long) just look it up
[08:39] <ubuntar> flexible: play with the settings )
[08:39] <mota_> mobi-sheep it is not usb it is pci and it is a linksys wmp54gs and Ive been following this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=381594
[08:39] <ManBloOD> please, help me i just try to boot..
[08:40] <ubuntar> ManBloOD: check you CD for errors
[08:40] <mota_> insmod ok thanx :) Ill google it
[08:40] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: do you get any error messages in the first tty (ctrl+alt+f1) when booting>
[08:40] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: also, you can use dmesg to view the system messages log
[08:41] <mobi-sheep> mota_: http://tinyurl.com/6cl8v2
[08:41] <Circs> Well now I have the emulator, but no sound
[08:42] <ManBloOD> here is error message i have : mountall : symbol lookup error : mountall underfinded symbol : udev_monitor_filter_add_match_subsystem_devtype  init: mountall main process (655) terminated with status 127
[08:43] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: that's a very strange erorr...
[08:43] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: are you booting from a hard disk?
[08:43] <ManBloOD> Yes, I am
[08:43] <ManBloOD> I just upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10
[08:44] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: have you tried booting into the recovery mode?
[08:44] <mota_> mobi-sheep thank you :D
[08:44] <ManBloOD> How I can boot into recovery mode ?
[08:45] <royas> hai
[08:45] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: there should be an option in the GRUB menu when you boot that mentions "recovery mode"
[08:45] <royas> anybody home?
[08:45] <Daughain> Sup.
[08:46] <mobi-sheep> mota_: It worked? ;o
[08:46] <royas> hi cece
[08:46] <ManBloOD> How I can get this GRUB menu, when i load i should press something isn't ?
[08:46] <chilli0_> ubuntar, Noting i do works i think im gonna reinstall ubuntu
[08:47] <mobi-sheep> ManBloOD: If you're using Karmic (clean installation), hold SHIFT during boot to enter GRUB2 Menu.
[08:47] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: it's the boot menu that should appear right before you boot ubuntu
[08:47] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: you might have to press ESC or SHIFT right before ubuntu loads to access it
[08:49] <ManBloOD> Thanks, I have found it, When I load first recovery mode its give me same error again : mountall : symbol lookup error : mountall underfinded symbol : udev_monitor_filter_add_match_subsystem_devtype  init: mountall main process (655) terminated with status 127
[08:50] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: that might have been caused by something breaking during the upgrade
[08:50] <chilli0_> How can i Just reinstall ubuntu ? ( I have /home on a diffrent partion ) I dont want ubuntu to do anything to that
[08:50] <ManBloOD> but i found many recovery modes, I have try another, Its giving me same error again
[08:50] <chilli0_> Just reinstall ubuntu
[08:51] <Flannel> chilli0_: When you're at the partition step, you'll mark your home partition as having a mountpoint of /home, and then make sure it's not marked to format, and then it'll be used as /home without being touched
[08:51] <lstarnes> chilli0_: you will need to get a desktop install livecd or the alternate cd and use that to reinstall
[08:51] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: you might need to reinstall ubuntu
[08:51] <Daughain> 9.10 doesnt seem to like upgrading. fresh install solved al of my problems.
[08:51] <chilli0_> Flannel, Thanks
[08:52] <ManBloOD> did i lost files and everything in the system now?
[08:52] <ManBloOD> :(
[08:52] <Daughain> COuld try pulling the HD and installing it on another system to do a backup,ManBlood
[08:52] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: if you configured ubuntu to use /home as a separate partition, then you should at least be able to keep everything in your home directory
[08:53] <ManBloOD> I have the CD of ubuntu 9.10
[08:53] <ManBloOD> Am I able to just replace the missing files of the core system?
[08:54] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: is it the alternate cd?
[08:54] <CarpeNoctum> what will i miss if i install ubuntu on virtual machine ?
[08:54] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: access to much of your hardware
[08:54] <CarpeNoctum> for example
[08:54] <ManBloOD> Its CD I burn from file : ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso
[08:55] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: like your hard disks
[08:55] <CarpeNoctum> if i install ubuntu on
[08:55] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: that's the desktop cd, not the alternate
[08:55] <CarpeNoctum> virtual machine can i run
[08:55] <CarpeNoctum> eggdrop ?
[08:55] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: yes
[08:55] <CarpeNoctum> can i make ubuntu work with my wifi card
[08:55] <minerale> I have a (30gb) tar.gz-ipped file that expands to 360gb. Is it possible to ask tar to create a sparse file on output?
[08:55] <CarpeNoctum> on virtual machine of course
[08:55] <ManBloOD> Should I get the alternate ?
[08:56] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: but you won't have access to some things like actual hard disks, wifi cards, (in some VM programs) USB, and (in some VMs) hardware graphics accelerations
[08:56] <CarpeNoctum> my lan card?
[08:56] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: you might be able to use that to repair your existing installation, but I need someone else to check that
[08:56] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: you can't use that either
[08:56] <CarpeNoctum> so no internet access
[08:56] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: otherwise, you can make a clean install from the desktop cd
[08:56] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: you can have internet access
[08:56] <CarpeNoctum> ok well ill try this
[08:57] <CarpeNoctum> how ?
[08:57] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: but you have to configure the VM software to handle that
[08:57] <CarpeNoctum> im using microsoft virtual pc
[08:57] <CarpeNoctum> any help with that
[08:57] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: ##windows is the best irc channel for asking about microsoft products
[08:58] <CarpeNoctum> thank you :)
[08:58] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: there are also other virtualization programs, like virtualbox and vmware
[08:58] <ManBloOD> I get it now, I can repair with Alternate CD is that correct?
[08:58] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: you might be able to do that, but I'm not sure
[08:58] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: it would be safest to do a clean reinstall
[08:58] <CarpeNoctum> wich one is the best for ubuntu in virtual machine
[08:58] <CarpeNoctum> like have much access
[08:59] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: I haven't tried virtual pc or vmware, but virtualbox has a lot of features (at least when it is running with linux as the host.  I've never used it on windows so it might be different in windows)
[08:59] <CarpeNoctum> okey
[08:59] <CarpeNoctum> than
[09:00] <CarpeNoctum> virtuals
[09:00] <CarpeNoctum> are nothing
[09:00] <CarpeNoctum> i must try it real
[09:00] <FloodBot2> CarpeNoctum: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:00] <CarpeNoctum> oh sorry i know now that i must use one line , anyway i have windows xp on my machine how can i make two boots ubuntu and windows ?
[09:00] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: if you know how to configure your virtual machine software, you can still do most of what you can do on a real install
[09:01] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: the ubuntu cd's installer supports setting up dual boot
[09:01] <yuka> i upgraded to koala and my eth1 was changed to eth0:avahi.  how to connect my eicd-client to the wireless?
[09:01] <CarpeNoctum> let im damnd!
[09:01] <yuka> wicd-client
[09:01] <CarpeNoctum> does the latest ubuntu need more ram ?
[09:01] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: also, you can do a real installation of ubuntu inside of windows using wubi, but I haven't tried it and I don't think I would recommend it
[09:01] <CarpeNoctum> or what else i need to run 9.10
[09:02] <qt-x> hy all
[09:02] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: 512 MB of ram is definitely enough
[09:02] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: you might be able to get by with less
[09:02] <CarpeNoctum> what a graphic card
[09:03] <CarpeNoctum> this is the best support i ever get somewere
[09:03] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCards

[09:06] <sam_sam1> is the bot ubottu intelligent?
[09:06] <lstarnes> sam_sam1: not really
[09:07] <sam_sam1> where can i get its source code?
[09:07] <Slart> !bot | sam_sam1
[09:07] <Slart> sam_sam1: I think there is a link on one of those pages
[09:08] <sam_sam1> i tried it but couldnt navigate to the source code :(
[09:08] <yuka> i upgraded to koala and my eth1 was changed to eth0:avahi.  how to connect my wicd-client to the wireless? i tried changing the setting there to eth0:avahi but I still don't see any wireless networks.
[09:08] <CarpeNoctum> 6GB of hard will be enough to run ubuntu 9.10 on my lappy ?
[09:08] <rsk> yuka, you could try removing the avahi-deamon
[09:08] <rsk> CarpeNoctum, yes
[09:09] <airtonix> CarpeNoctum, i'd want more tbh
[09:09] <Slart> sam_sam1: check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots  it's under the heading "ubottu family"
[09:09] <CarpeNoctum> tbh whats that?
[09:09] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: probably, but you might want more if you need a lot of space for personal files and installed packages
[09:09] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: tbh = to be honest
[09:09] <yuka> rsk: sure. what is it and how ro do that?
[09:09] <airtonix> CarpeNoctum, sorry tbh = to be honest
[09:09] <CarpeNoctum> sorry
[09:09] <rsk> yuka, i'd guess most people know how to remove packages?
[09:10] <yuka> rsk: sure. so after removing it, will i see eth1 again? (used to be my wireless interface)
[09:10] <rsk> not sure but it's wort a shot
[09:12] <CarpeNoctum> to much asking but i want to know if i install ubuntu 7.04 server how to configure the etho wirles?
[09:14] <aLeSD> hi all
[09:14] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: 7.04 isn't supported anymore.  8.04 is newer and is a long term support release
[09:14] <CarpeNoctum> okey
[09:14] <acid> @CarpeNoctum 1) it is well documented on ubuntu wiki, go to /etc/init.d/networking/networking.conf 2) it is CarpeNoctEm
[09:14] <aLeSD> I added medibuntu repository but I can't find skype package ... help ?
[09:14] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: you should be able to manually configure it using iwconfig and ifconfig
[09:15] <CarpeNoctum> okey :)
[09:15] <lstarnes> aLeSD: did you run sudo apt-get update?
[09:15] <aLeSD> yeah
[09:15] <rsk> aLeSD, and medibuntu is supposed to have skype?
[09:15] <aLeSD> Package skype is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[09:15] <ManBloOD> I have booted with Live CD of Ubuntu, Seems everything is fine with Live CD, but not sure How I will be able to recover system with Live CD ?
[09:15] <Some_Person> How can I echo a file's contents to terminal (for use with grep)
[09:16] <aLeSD> rsk: well .. it was in 9.04
[09:16] <llutz> Some_Person: grep pattern file.foo
[09:16] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: you can't recover the whole system with the livecd, but you can use it to mount an existing separate home partition on the new installation
[09:16] <Some_Person> llutz: thanks
[09:16] <rsk> aLeSD, its' not in 9.10
[09:16] <rsk> aLeSD, http://packages.medibuntu.org/karmic/index.html
[09:16] <aLeSD> wow
[09:16] <aLeSD> thanks
[09:17] <TimbukFive> if i do   ...   gnome-terminal -e -command="cat bla"            ... the terminal closed instantly after doing CAT ..how to prevent the instant close?
[09:17] <CarpeNoctum> whats the new name of 9.10
[09:17] <CarpeNoctum> dapper ?
[09:17] <CarpeNoctum> :)
[09:17] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: dapper is 6.06
[09:17] <acid> Question: CF Card reader on PCMCIA bus. Card has 2 ext3 partitions. I need them to moun on every startup. Can't write in fstab, since PCMCIA driver finds the card after everything finished running. How do I make it work
[09:17] <TimbukFive> Karmic
[09:17] <lstarnes> CarpeNoctum: 9.10 is karmic (or karmic koala)
[09:17] <llutz> TimbukFive: command="cat bla ; sleep 10"
[09:17] <CarpeNoctum> ok
[09:17] <CarpeNoctum> :)
[09:18] <lstarnes> aLeSD: it might be in the partner repo, but I'm not sure
[09:18] <aLeSD> ok
[09:18] <llutz> TimbukFive:it seemds gnome-terminal lacks an option like -hold/-noexit
[09:18] <ManBloOD> lstarnes: No way to recover the system somehow?
[09:18] <Slart> acid: you could mess with the udev rules... or run some kind of one-shot cron job on boot/login that mounts is a minute or two after you've logged it
[09:18] <TimbukFive> llutz : yes seems like :/ tryd sleep ..but doenst work
[09:19] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: it might be possible with the alternate cd, but even if it is possible you still might not be able to fix it
[09:19] <llutz> TimbukFive: then use "xterm -hold -e cmd"
[09:20] <ManBloOD> lstarnes: please, let me know how I can do it so..?
[09:20] <acid> slart; yeah, that is the way I thought. But how do I run a script upon insertion?
[09:20] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: I honestly do not know if it is possible with the alternate cd or, if it is possible, how to do it
[09:20] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: I would recommend reinstalling
[09:20] <TimbukFive> llutz : thanks this works !
[09:20] <acid> slart; ubuntu mounts cards upon insertion...
[09:20] <Slart> acid: I've never done it myself but I'm guessing you would have to do something to your udev rules
[09:20] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: that would be the safest option and the one most likely to work
[09:21] <TimbukFive> llutz : but..now it say i have no permission to do CAT BLA
[09:21] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: did you have your /home on a separate partition?
[09:21] <acid> Slart; is udev or cardmgr responcible for this?
[09:21] <linuxius> looking for a program that can present pictures and movies like "open office presentation" but just out of an folder, without putting every picture or movie on a slide...
[09:21] <llutz> TimbukFive: check permissions of BLA
[09:22] <ManBloOD> lstarnes: unfortunately no
[09:22] <Slart> acid: I don't really know.. I thought udev was responsible for all kinds of attachable hardware
[09:23] <ManBloOD> I didn't know it might go to this..
[09:23] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: 9.10 has had some strange issues when doing in-place upgrades
[09:23] <acid> Slart; Correct me if I am wrong - cardmgr is responcible of loading the PCMCIA storage driver upon identifying a flash card.
[09:24] <Slart> acid: I have no idea
[09:24] <aduhaduh> i luph ubuntu, :D especially with compiz
[09:24] <rsk> aduhaduh, try awn for more bling-bling
[09:24] <TimbukFive> llutz : hm in gnome-terminal it works..its /var/log/Xorg.0.log ..i can read this definitly
[09:25] <aduhaduh> awn ?? does it support such as compiz effect ?
[09:25] <ManBloOD> Is this mean I have lost everything !
[09:26] <llutz> TimbukFive: "should work" in xterm too, that's odd
[09:26] <aduhaduh> what do you prefer ? awn or cairo dock ?
[09:26] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: unless you kept backups, yes
[09:26] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: but at least this time you can take steps to prevent it from happening again
[09:26]  * ranjan is away: I'm busy.
[09:26] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: such as using a separate home partition and making regular backups
[09:27] <linuxius> ﻿ looking for a program that can present pictures and movies like "open office presentation" but just out of an folder, without putting every picture or movie on a slide...
[09:27]  * ranjan is away: I'm busy.
[09:27] <TimbukFive> llutz : if i start xterm and do there per hand cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log ..it works ..weird :s
[09:27] <ManBloOD> lstarnes: I am in live CD now, can i backup now?
[09:27] <acid> Slart; Thanks. Anyone else has an idea?
[09:27] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: if you have a separate hard disk, you couls start by copying the files from your main hard disk to the second one
[09:28] <ManBloOD> lstarnes: Is it too late for me to backup?
[09:28] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: if you have the right media for storing backups, you could probably use the terminal-based tools in the live cd (such as dd) for backing up
[09:28] <bullgard4>  'man ps': "EXAMPLES > To get security info: ps -eo euser,ruser,suser,fuser,f,comm,label." '~$ sudo ps -eo euser, ruser, suser, fuser, f, comm, label; [sudo] password for detlef: ***; ERROR: Unsupported option (BSD syntax)'. How come?
[09:28] <ManBloOD> lstarnes: What I should backup?
[09:29] <lstarnes> ManBloOD: whatever you want to keep (or whatever you can't lose)
[09:30] <lstarnes> bullgard4: try removing the spaces
[09:36] <bullgard4> lstarnes: This works. Great! Thank you very much for your help. --  In the column 'LABEL' it outputs mostly 'unconfined'. What does 'unconfined' mean here?
[09:37] <lstarnes> bullgard4: I'm not sure
[09:37] <arek> radio
[09:37] <bullgard4> lstarnes: Anyway, thank you very much for your help.
[09:38] <mobi-sheep> In KDE, there are a plasma desktop widget.  Is there something similar for GNOME?
[09:38] <airtonix> mobi-sheep, yes quite a few
[09:38] <linuxius> ﻿looking for a program that can present pictures and movies like "open office presentation" but just out of an folder, without putting every picture or movie on a slide... anyone?
[09:39] <mobi-sheep> airtonix: Care to list them, please.
[09:39] <donvito-> ok then
[09:39] <donvito-> im starting now to install ubuntu on real lapptop
[09:39] <airtonix> mobi-sheep, screenlets, gdesklets, google-gadgets, opera widgets
[09:39] <donvito-> i dont want to lose nothing from windows will ubuntu ask me with one to be active
[09:39] <airtonix> mobi-sheep, xulrunner with some nifty window rules from compiz
[09:40] <lstarnes> donvito-: ubuntu will give you the option of setting up your laptop for dual booting
[09:40] <donvito-> nice !
[09:40] <lstarnes> donvito-: but you have to be careful when partitioning the disk
[09:40] <airtonix> mobi-sheep, you also have conky
[09:40] <donvito-> let me know how to!
[09:41] <airtonix> mobi-sheep, but i think in terms of how plasmoids work and can be created nothing comes close
[09:41] <donvito-> i have 12 gb free of hard disk
[09:41] <mobi-sheep> airtonix: conky can't open the files upon clicked, can they? Which apps would you think is decent enough to do the similar feature in KDE?
[09:41] <donvito-> i want to set 6 gb for ubuntu
[09:41] <airtonix> mobi-sheep, ah ok i understand what you want now... a folder view widget
[09:42] <lstarnes> donvito-: when you get to the partitoning step of the installer, it can automatically use any space that isn't part of an existing partition for ubuntu
[09:42] <donvito-> okey
[09:42] <lstarnes> donvito-: if the whole disk is partitioned, you might need to resize your existing partitions
[09:42] <TimbukFive> llutz : ok got a solution. having now a start scipt with xterm -hold -e sh bla.sh and a bla.sh with cat bla ..this works ^^
[09:42] <airtonix> mobi-sheep, http://www.gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/Folderview+Screenlet?content=102890
[09:43] <mobi-sheep> airtonix: Yup. I'm looking at sites, trying to find something that could do the job.
[09:43] <llutz> TimbukFive: not sure, but xterm -ls  .... might do it too. but still strange behaviour
[09:43] <TimbukFive> llutz : hm okay i try this, thanks anyway :D
[09:43] <mobi-sheep> airtonix: I'll try it.
[09:43] <llutz> TimbukFive: "man xterm" lots of options ;)
[09:44] <TimbukFive> llutz : hehe ^^
[09:46] <TimbukFive> llutz : yes right man :D it works :) thansk a lot a second time
[09:46] <TimbukFive> llutz : should consider manpages more times :s
[09:47] <llutz> TimbukFive: yap, would cut down 50% traffic here :)
[09:47] <TimbukFive> llutz : hehe :p
[09:47] <airtonix> I would like to know how to get beagle or tracker to provide search results for man pages... i can't seem to make it happen
[09:52] <zetheroo> how do I fix this
[09:52] <zetheroo> subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
[09:52] <zetheroo> ?
[09:52] <dnivra> zetheroo: what are you installing?
[09:53] <mobi-sheep> airtonix: Gnome-Do can do manual pages.
[09:53] <mobi-sheep> airtonix: I like that GTK app.  Thanks. :)
[09:54] <zetheroo> ﻿dnivra: I installed the wrong version of ubuntu-tweak and need to remove it ... but I get that error in Synaptic when i try to uninstall it
[09:55] <dnivra> zetheroo: I'm not sure what to do; just try to install the correct version; think it might just overwrite the existing one.
[09:55] <zetheroo> ﻿dnivra: nope ... it says that there is a more recent version already installed
[09:55] <dnivra> zetheroo: that's most certainly a bug what just happened to you i think.
[09:57] <dnivra> zetheroo: go to terminal and try "sudo apt-get install --no-recommends <the_correct_version>". Might work; else someone else might help out cos i don't know what to do:).
[09:57] <zetheroo> ﻿dnivra: ok thanks
[09:58] <n00p> anyone know where I can find documentation regarding mounting archives such as bzip2/gzip using gvfs?
[09:58] <dnivra> zetheroo: sorry the command is "sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends <the_correct_version>. No problem mate.
[09:59] <Leoneof`> hi, why there are no 32bit for display?
[10:00] <n00p> I can't seem to find documentation regarding mounting archives such as bzip2/gzip using gvfs anywhere... Can someone point me in the right direction?
[10:00] <epifanio> hi All, a question about virtualization
[10:00] <epifanio> i need to install Xubuntu on a virtualbox machine
[10:01] <rsk> Leoneof`, because 32bit in windows is just 24bit+padding so it's not needed
[10:01] <ste> list
[10:01] <ste> !list
[10:01] <rsk> list
[10:01] <epifanio> what do you suggest me, the standard x86 or the alternate dvd ?
[10:01] <rsk> epifanio, what do you want? look what iso provides that
[10:02] <epifanio> i see there are variouse iso, and reading i have notice the alternate is for machine with less ram avaiable
[10:02] <epifanio> so i guess the x86 alternate cd is better for virualizzation .. make sense for you ?
[10:03] <n00p> Can anyone point me in the right direction to find documentation regarding mounting archives such as bzip2/gzip using gvfs?
[10:03] <rsk> epifanio, yep
[10:03] <Leoneof`> rsk: so there are no different when if view a pic in windows and Linux, right?
[10:03] <rsk> Leoneof`, not that i know of
[10:03] <Leoneof`> rsk: ok ^_^
[10:04] <n00p> Leoneof`: you could name a specific software application, then we could direct you to a helpful forum for your question ;)
[10:06] <Leoneof`> n00p: like ACDsee in Windows
[10:06] <nameo0> can u install adobe shockwave player on ubuntu?
[10:09] <KaffeeJunky123> Hello, I'm having troubly trying to access my Sony Ericsson C905 with Ubuntu 9.04
[10:09] <lonejack> hi, I've an adsl model that require pppoe conn. I did pppoeconfig but when each time i start the system it is necessary to do 'pon dsl-provider' also if i set the pppoeconf in order to do an auto startup this is my /etc/network/interfaces file(http://pastebin.com/m56c09a5). Can someone tell me how can I modify it in order to obtain an auto pppoe procedure? Thank you
[10:11] <KaffeeJunky123> lonejack: are you using networkmanager or ifup?
[10:12] <zer_x252> Hey, I was wondering if anybody had a link for a zsnes 1.51 64-bit deb?
[10:12] <dnivra> hey lonejack, pppoeconf not pppoeconfig:).
[10:12] <dnivra> lonejack: what did you mean by "auto pppoe procedure"?
[10:13] <lonejack> dnivra, exactly, my mistake
[10:13] <lonejack> dnivra, correct auto pppoe procedure
[10:13] <{g}> Hey People! One thing that I always wonder in regards to Linux is: When I install serviced like sshd, Apache, MySql they get configured so that they are always running. But most of the time I just want to use them occasionally and not have them running all the time. What do you guys think about this?
[10:14] <n00p> anyone know where I can find documentation regarding mounting archives such as bzip2/gzip using gvfs?
[10:14] <llutz> {g}: disable them, start if you want manually
[10:15] <dnivra> lonejack: what are you trying to do; automatically connect to internet when you start the computer(it's not clear what you wanna do)?
[10:15] <{g}> llutz: how do you disable them? rm "/etc/rc*d/the_service" ?
[10:16] <llutz> {g}: sudo update-rc.d -f <service> remove
[10:16] <lonejack> dnivra, You understood perfectly, excuse me for my english :(
[10:16] <llutz> {g}: start with: sudo service <servicename> start
[10:16] <KaffeeJunky123> does any one know how to get a sony ericsson c905 to work for file transfer via usb on ubuntu 9.04?
[10:17] <KaffeeJunky123> I tried the adivse on this http://www.uhl.nu/jesper/?p=61 site, thought it's only confirmed to work on ubuntu 8.10
[10:17] <dnivra> lonejack: no problem; just clarifying. I think it should do if you write a script that runs the command "sudo pon dsl-provider" at startup to do so.
[10:17] <lonejack> dnivra, on this doc https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE it is explained how. But ...
[10:19] <dnivra> lonejack: the guide has nothing about starting the connection at startup of computer; just about starting the connection manually.
[10:21] <KaffeeJunky123> hm I killed the g15daemon and now the usb connection works
[10:21] <KaffeeJunky123> wtf
[10:21] <dnivra> lonejack: editing the /etc/rc.local didn't help?
[10:21] <lonejack> dnivra, have you read 'Boot issues' on the  page:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE. I think it's my question...
[10:22] <MarderIII>  /quit
[10:22] <lonejack> dnivra, ok I can do it
[10:22] <dnivra> lonejack: sorry got diverted to another page due to an accidental typo.
[10:24] <{g}> llutz: thanks
[10:24] <lonejack> dnivra, are you proposing to insert 'pon dsl-provider' here?
[10:25] <dnivra> lonejack: just follow what the link you gave me says:).
[10:25] <M3TVF> Me aliking this Ubunutu
[10:26]  * miki witam wszystkich:)
[10:26] <LAMME> howdy people. Got a small problem. I increased size of my ext4 yesterday. Upon boot I get > GRUB loading. error unknow filesystem. I checked the partitiona nd it still mounts, and discovered my letter changed from sda4 to sda5. Any idea''s how to change it back?
[10:26] <bullgard4> '~$ sudo ps -eo euser,ruser,suser,fuser,f,comm,label; [sudo] password for detlef: ***' includes processes with a flag 'F=1' described as "forked but did not exec." What does mean "did not exec" here?
[10:27] <{g}> llutz: so far, i start apache with "/usr/sbin/apache2 -f /my/apache2.conf" because I use a custom conf file each time i start apache. can I do that with the "service" command too?
[10:27] <Kismet> hey
[10:27] <chadi> I already installed grub on /boot, but now I would like to install it in MBR. How do I do that?
[10:27] <llutz> {g}: not sure if the default-startscripts take options
[10:27] <Kismet> my banshee is going up to 100% CPU while changing tracks, dose anyone have hint why?
[10:28] <joaopinto> chadi, grub-install device_name
[10:28] <chadi> joaopinto and what is device name?
[10:28] <{g}> llutz: i think i will continue to call the binaries directly then.
[10:28] <chadi> hd0 ?
[10:29] <joaopinto> chadi, yes, or whatever is the device you want to install grub into, I usually prefer to use the /dev/sda type of device
[10:29] <joaopinto> /dev/whatever :P
[10:29] <chadi> but /dev/sda means all the hd?
[10:29] <LAMME> [11:26] <LAMME> howdy people. Got a small problem. I increased size of my ext4 yesterday. Upon boot I get > GRUB loading. error unknow filesystem. I checked the partitiona nd it still mounts, and discovered my letter changed from sda4 to sda5. Any idea''s how to change it back?
[10:30] <M3TVF> anybody know of a good Packet Radio program to use with the soundcard as the modem?
[10:30] <LAMME> ok after i read joapinto tekst above i think i know what to do. :P
[10:30] <Kismet> hey... anyone any clue... about banshee
[10:31] <airtonix> M3TVF, i assume you arealdy tried the one in the repos?
[10:31] <M3TVF> yeh, nothing much there m8
[10:31] <airtonix> M3TVF, there is one (or two) though
[10:31] <llutz> M3TVF: soundmodem?
[10:32] <joaopinto> LAMME, you also need to check your /etc/fstab and eventual run update-grub after chrooting to your current system
[10:32] <LAMME> yeah i will. thanks
[10:32] <M3TVF> I cannot seem to work out what soundmodem actually does?

[10:33] <M3TVF> airtronix & ubottu, many thanks for your help, Happy New Year too you
[10:33] <lstarnes> {g}: ps ax
[10:34] <{g}> lstarnes: that lists all processes.
[10:34] <airtonix> !info xdx | M3TVF
[10:34] <LAMME> and if you wanna look for a specifik service ps ax | grep <name>
[10:34] <M3TVF> many thanks
[10:35] <chilli0> Hi
[10:35] <chilli0> I reinstalled apache and why doesnt httpd.conf be used ?
[10:35] <lstarnes> chilli0: it uses apache2.conf
[10:35] <airtonix> M3TVF : you can find the rest with "apt-cache search radio"
[10:36] <chilli0> lstarnes, Ah But if i change that nothing works. ( i have to change the virtual host file) Why ?
[10:36] <lstarnes> {g}: I don't think there is a way to see what services were started
[10:36] <lstarnes> chilli0: I don't know
[10:37] <lstarnes> chilli0: it might be because ubuntu's configuration for apache works differently
[10:37] <M3TVF> Airtronix, great many thanks
[10:37] <{g}> llutz: how do i know whats the <service> in "update-rc.d -f <service> remove" ?
[10:37] <lstarnes> {g}: it's the name of the script in /etc/init.d
[10:37] <n00p> is it possible to use gvfs to mount a gzip/bzip2 file with read/write access?
[10:38] <lstarnes> n00p: is it a bzip2/gzip tar file?
[10:38] <airtonix> n00p, it is but its unreliable
[10:39] <fidin> my computer named 'mycomputer' is running avahi and i'm able to go to http://mycomputer.local  from another computer on my lan but i can't ping mcomputer.local. Is that because of a firewall issue?
[10:39] <crashdata> i'm thinking of migrating to x64...what is the downfall?
[10:39] <lstarnes> n00p: if you have fuse, you can install a program such as archivemount
[10:39] <lstarnes> fidin: there could be a firewall blocking some ICMP requests, such as pings
[10:39] <airtonix> crashdata, sound, flash, kittens...
[10:39] <n00p> uhh, I could, but for a few reasons I wouldn't
[10:40] <airtonix> crashdata, and very small rocks
[10:40] <n00p> I've looked at archivemount. For one that project condones purposefully segfaulting
[10:40] <airtonix> n00p, yep not the best
[10:40] <crashdata> airtonix, hmmm i know drivers has to be supported but i cant run x32 prog on a x64 system?
[10:40] <n00p> and, secondly, I've learnt that gvfs is very similar.
[10:41] <M3TVF> to run Packet Radio do I need to install AX25
[10:41] <airtonix> n00p, except in that regard...
[10:41] <lstarnes> crashdata: you could if you have the right 32-bit libraries used by it
[10:41] <n00p> eg. they're both fuse-related and can both deal with archives
[10:41] <n00p> except in what regard, airtonix?
[10:41] <airtonix> n00p, that gfvs is currently unable to write to a mounted archive
[10:41] <llutz> M3TVF: only if you want to use tcp/ip (ampr.org)
[10:42] <M3TVF> llutz great, thanks m8
[10:42] <cycrosism> I need urgent help, I installed the edubuntu package and the netbook remix package and they confliced too much so i removed both packages and they still run on startup
[10:42] <Pe3k> hello, I have used 8.10 with fluxbox, and installed on another partition new ubuntu 9.10 again with fluxbox as window manager, but in this new installation is performance of my system not as good (I have old hw components ) any idea what can I do to improve this?
[10:42] <n00p> eh. how very disappointing.
[10:42] <lonejack> dnivra, thank you
[10:43] <airtonix> n00p, it would be handy for firefox extension development (the repackaging process is rather tedious)
[10:43] <cycrosism> I need urgent help, I installed the edubuntu package and the netbook remix package and they confliced too much so i removed both packages and they still run on startup ... they are running right now and its very hard to use ubuntu properly
[10:44] <lstarnes> cycrosism: you need to install the netbook remix package and manually remove any packages used by the edubuntu package that conflict with the netbook remiv package
[10:44] <cycrosism> lstarnes: I want to remove both
[10:44] <legend2440> can someone recommend a webcam that works with skype on karmic?
[10:44] <lstarnes> cycrosism: then remove the packages that both use that aren't essential
[10:44] <cycrosism> The netbook remix is running and so is gnome
[10:44] <n00p> airtonix: it would be handy if libarchive had decent development techniques.
[10:44] <n00p> I'm going to audit their code.
[10:44] <cycrosism> lstarnes: I did sudo apt-get remove and did both packages but it still runs
[10:45] <lstarnes> cycrosism: that's not enough
[10:45] <lstarnes> cycrosism: that won't remove any oackages that those packages installed
[10:45] <lstarnes> *packages
[10:45] <cycrosism> How come
[10:45] <lstarnes> cycrosism: because that's not how apt works
[10:45] <quick_> join ##windows
[10:45] <hayt> legend2440: Logitech Webcam Pro (for Mac).  The "Mac" one is driverless, works great with the LInux UVC driver
[10:45] <n00p> I'm sure I'll find something... when you see people doing things like * (int *) 0 = 1; to force a segfault (for whatever reason), and naming a function that performs filtering, a 'safe' function (misleadingly)... well I'm sure I'll find something
[10:45] <cycrosism> lstarnes: So do I have to apt-get remove everything they installed manually?
[10:46] <M3TVF> I want to dual boot a ubuntu & xp machine, what is best, both on same drive of seperate drives?
[10:46] <lstarnes> cycrosism: you could try sudo apt-get autoremove, but that can be dangerous and it might not remove packages that were marked as explicitly installed when those two main packages were installed
[10:46] <legend2440> hayt: thank you. will check it out
[10:46] <lstarnes> M3TVF: it will work either way
[10:46] <cycrosism> lstarnes: I tried that and purge, didnt work :(
[10:46] <M3TVF> many thanks
[10:47] <lstarnes> n00p: there are some others based on fuse, like unpackfs
[10:47] <cycrosism> lstarnes: How do i find out what packages they installed so i can remove those
[10:47] <lstarnes> cycrosism: aptitude show packagename
[10:47] <lstarnes> cycrosism: that will show dependencies
[10:48] <llutz> cycrosism: "apt-cache depends package"
[10:48] <airtonix> n00p, http://code.google.com/p/fuse-zip/wiki/PerformancePage && http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/unpackfs/
[10:49] <cycrosism> .
[10:50] <cycrosism> How do I restart gnome?
[10:50] <n00p> airtonix: unpackfs does write?
[10:51] <cycrosism> with the /etc/init.d thing?
[10:51] <airtonix> n00p, i'm more interested in fuse-zip tbh
[10:51] <airtonix> n00p, but yes it looks like it does
[10:51] <n00p> I'm not
[10:51] <Xiol32> Um, guys is this server just FreeNode?
[10:51] <n00p> unpackfs is a filesystem based on fuse (filesystem in userspace) for transparent unpacking of archives. It shows the content of archives right beside them in the filesystem hierarchy.
[10:51] <chilli0> Hi how can I run ubuntu as the user and not www-data ( this is a fresh install so its all the new apache2 ( thus no httpd.conf)
[10:52] <n00p> I don't see any mention of "write"
[10:52] <cycrosism> .
[10:52] <lstarnes> chilli0: you shouldn't run apache2 from a regular account.  it should be run with the special-purpose www-data account
[10:52] <cycrosism> How do I restart gnome?
[10:52] <lstarnes> cycrosism: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart
[10:52] <cycrosism> ty
[10:53] <chilli0> lstarnes, I want and need it to be ran as a user
[10:53] <tonii> Xiol32: just freenode? what else would it be?
[10:53] <lstarnes> chilli0: why?
[10:53] <airtonix> n00p, guess you'll have to load it up and try...time for sleep myself
[10:53] <kubanc> i cannot copy anything on a usb stick, because i got an error  Read-only file system
[10:53] <chilli0> lstarnes, CGI . Makeing a program that can control rhythmbox
[10:53] <KaffeeJunky123> any1 here using eclipse?
[10:54] <n00p> damnit! I needed to query him
[10:54] <KaffeeJunky123> I'm having problems with eclipse freezing for a minute whenever I type a :: or .
[10:54] <lstarnes> chilli0: apache does support methods like suexec for running individual things as other users
[10:55] <chilli0> lstarnes, Ok is that easy to do ?
[10:56] <lstarnes> chilli0: I haven't done it before, but I assume it wouldn't be too hard
[10:58] <Amorgos> hi
[10:58] <cycrosism> lstarnes: So I now have to remove EVERYTHING that the ubuntu-netbook-remix package uses?
[10:58] <beatbreaker> i've got several grubs on the one hard drive. now it seems to point to Arch Linux but i want it to point to the suse one, how can i get that to happen?
[10:58] <lstarnes> cycrosism: I'm not sure
[10:58] <Amorgos> I try to access a location in my ubuntu, and it says access denied
[10:58] <cycrosism> It uses so many I don't have the time to manually remove it lstarnes
[10:58] <lstarnes> cycrosism: maybe just the packages that are causing issues
[10:58] <Amorgos> how do i access it from my gui?
[10:58] <grawity> Amorgos: What "location" are you talking about, and how are you accessing it?
[10:58] <cycrosism> lstarnes: I dont know which ones they are
[10:59] <Amorgos> grawity: i need to access an internal hdd that is mounted, (has another linux system in it) and when i go to the home folder of it it says access denied
[11:00] <cycrosism> lstarnes: How do I find out which ones are screwing up ubuntu-desktop package?
[11:00] <lstarnes> cycrosism: which packages does it depend on?
[11:00] <cycrosism> Heaps
[11:00] <cycrosism> Like 3 pages of terminal worth
[11:01] <h4f> hey where is the TOR package in karmic ?
[11:01] <lstarnes> cycrosism: pastebin them
[11:01] <cycrosism> Its to hard to do that, the screen flickers and stuff because the packages conflict
[11:01] <Amorgos> grawity: ideas
[11:02] <cycrosism> .
[11:02] <chilli0> Is there any easy way to change the user that apache2 runs under ?
[11:03] <cycrosism> I guess ill just back up my files and remove ubuntu
[11:03] <grawity> h4f: Tor is not in Ubuntu's repositories.  You need to install it from their own repos
[11:03] <lstarnes> cycrosism: you could use a cli tool such as pastebinit
[11:03] <h4f>   grawity: but it was right ?
[11:03] <lstarnes> cycrosism: if pastebinit is installed, use aptitude show packagename | pastebinit
[11:03] <grawity> Amorgos: Open a terminal, run "sudo -s", access files as you want.
[11:03] <petsounds> Amorgos, Amorgos, what about kdesudo dolphin? (kde) or gksu nautilus (gnome) ?
[11:03] <cycrosism> lstarnes: Ill install it then
[11:03] <lstarnes> grawity: that should be sudo -i, I think
[11:04] <koshari> chilli0 why you wanna do that?
[11:04] <grawity> lstarnes: -s runs a simple shell, -i -- imitates login. (IIRC.) Either way, both give root.
[11:04] <chilli0> koshari,  I need to so i can control my currently loged in user. ( doing some dev work)
[11:04] <grawity> h4f: It was, but it's now removed because of security issues. (If I recall correctly, Tor devs removed it because their own repository is updated more often.)
[11:05] <cycrosism> lstarnes: http://pastebin.com/f571db221
[11:05] <grawity> h4f: So, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR - instructions.
[11:05] <Amorgos> grawity: is sudo -s similar to su root?
[11:05] <lstarnes> Amorgos: almost the same
[11:05] <h4f> grawity: thanks I was going to search
[11:05] <lstarnes> Amorgos: but sudo -i is better than sudo -s for running things as root
[11:05] <koshari> chilli0 http://www.linuxsecurity.com/content/view/133913/171/
[11:06] <Amorgos> kdesudo dolphin solves my problem
[11:06] <Amorgos> thanks
[11:06] <grawity> Amorgos: I use 'su' too rarely now... yeah, it's similar, but 'sudo -s' will run a shell with root privileges but your own environment/bashrc.
[11:06] <grawity> Amorgos: Maybe sudo -i is better, as lstarnes says.
[11:06] <lstarnes> cycrosism: human-netbook-theme might be one of them
[11:06] <lstarnes> cycrosism: I'm not sure about maximus
[11:07] <cycrosism> lstarnes: ok i removed that
[11:07] <cycrosism> lstarnes: is there a way to stop the netbook process completely so it doesnt flicker my screen etc
[11:07] <Amorgos> grawity: whats the difference of sudo -i and -s i see does the same
[11:07] <lstarnes> Amorgos: sudo -s runs with your user's environment
[11:07] <grawity> Amorgos: ...I just explained?
[11:08] <lstarnes> Amorgos: sudo -i uses root's environment, as if you logged in as root
[11:08] <Amorgos> oh ok
[11:08] <lstarnes> cycrosism: it might have its own init script in /etc/init.d
[11:08] <lstarnes> cycrosism: in which case you could use sudo service <name> stop
[11:09] <cycrosism> .
[11:09] <hamzaatova2> hi - how can i install the ubuntu system with wireless keyboard?
[11:09] <cycrosism> Cant find it lstarnes
[11:09] <lstarnes> cycrosism: what is listed in init.d?
[11:09] <fahadsadah> hamzaatova2: It should work with no problems.
[11:10] <cycrosism> lstarnes: http://pastebin.com/f6519a64a
[11:10] <hamzaatova2> fahadsadah, but it doesnt
[11:10] <cycrosism> .
[11:10] <fahadsadah> Are you sure the keyboard is on, and connected to the receiver?
[11:10] <lstarnes> cycrosism: I'm not sdure if anything in there is specific to the netbook remix
[11:11] <lstarnes> cycrosism: I don't know what laptop-mode does
[11:11] <lstarnes> cycrosism: also, you seem to be randomly posting lines containing only "."
[11:11] <cycrosism> lstarnes: mark@M:/etc/init.d$ sudo laptop_mode stop
[11:11] <cycrosism> Laptop mode disabled, not active
[11:12] <lstarnes> cycrosism: I think it's supposed to be sudo service laptop-mode stop
[11:12] <cycrosism> lstarnes: because when i switch windows it wont load
[11:12] <cycrosism> and if i write . or something it loads it all
[11:12] <lstarnes> cycrosism: what about ctrl+l?
[11:12] <cycrosism> that might work
[11:13] <cycrosism> i stopped laptop mode it didnt do anything
[11:13] <lstarnes> cycrosism: it might be something in the edubuntu packages
[11:14] <cycrosism> I already removed all those packages in the edubuntu but the netbook-remix brings up its own screen and screws around with gnome lstarnes
[11:14] <lstarnes> cycrosism: have you tried reinstalling ubuntu-desktop?
[11:15] <lstarnes> cycrosism: there might also be something that you could do with tasksel
[11:15] <cycrosism> lstarnes: Would it be quicker to just reinstall ubuntu
[11:15] <lstarnes> cycrosism: maybe, but I try to avoid complete reinstalls
[11:15] <cycrosism> lstarnes: so i uninstall ubuntu-desktop then reboot then install it?
[11:16] <lstarnes> cycrosism: no
[11:16] <lstarnes> cycrosism: sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[11:16] <lstarnes> cycrosism: tasksel might also be useful for choosing sets of packages
[11:16] <lafleur-> how to fix
[11:16] <lafleur-> wifi issues on 7.04
[11:17] <lafleur-> my wlan card does not work
[11:17] <lstarnes> lafleur-: 7.04 is no longer supported
[11:17] <n00p> ok.. k guys I'm attempting to install archivemount and getting the following error http://pastebin.org/68793.. now since fuse is in the distribution and as a result installed... well what's the path?
[11:17] <lafleur-> i know but i will get an answer i guess
[11:17] <lstarnes> n00p: you need libfuse-dev installed
[11:18] <lstarnes> lafleur-: things have likely change so much between 7.04 and more recent versions of ubuntu that any answers provided here might be inaccurate for you
[11:18] <n00p> ty lstarnes
[11:18] <cycrosism> lstarnes: I have no idea what to do .. i might as well reinstall
[11:18] <lstarnes> cycrosism: if that's what you want to do, go ahead
[11:18] <lstarnes> cycrosism: but I would still at least attempt to try using tasksel

[11:19] <lstarnes> cycrosism: on the other hand, what bazhang said seems to be what you are looking for
[11:19] <cycrosism> Ok ill check out that link
[11:20] <rsk> lafleur-, i'd suggest trying 9.10 most likely it will just work because the kernel has support for it or similar.
[11:22] <bullgard4> What sense does it make to fork the process i915/0 but not to execute it?C
[11:22] <Ddorda> is it possible to remove the voice icon from the notification area?
[11:22] <bullgard4> What sense does it make to fork the process i915/0 but not to execute it?
[11:23] <cycrosism> lstarnes: I switched my theme to the normal ubuntu theme ... easier to use but now I have to remove everything the ubuntu-netbook-remix installed
[11:23] <bazhang> cycrosism, did you follow the link I gave you
[11:23] <bullgard4> Ddorda: There is no "Voice" icon there. What do you mean?
[11:24] <Ddorda> bullgard4: the sound control icon
[11:24] <cycrosism> bazhang: I am looking at it now
[11:27] <jrivera_> i want to physically transfer my harddrive to a different server all hardware specs are the same between the two servers.
[11:28] <rsk> jrivera_, what's stopping you?
[11:28] <bullgard4> Ddorda: Your thing most likely has another name.
[11:29] <jrivera_> will everything work alright? I will be transferring 4 hard drives from the old server with raid and stuff
[11:30] <lstarnes> jrivera_: if the hardware is preacitcally identical, then there shouldn't be any major issues
[11:30] <rsk> most likely no issues
[11:30] <cycrosism> I lost all my settings lstarnes
[11:31] <jrivera_> thank you so much! just want to make sure before i transfer them. I'll do it right now, if i won't be back in about 30 minutes then i am having a problem :)
[11:32] <Ddorda> bullgard4: you know what Im talking about.. that voice controller in the notification area..
[11:33] <chilli0> I have apache running under the user that is logged But it cant run any guis
[11:33] <bullgard4> Ddorda: There is no voice controller in the notification area normally. Do you mean the 'PulseAudio Applet'?
[11:34] <iceroot> chilli0: what guis?
[11:34] <chilli0> iceroot, Rhythmbox =P
[11:34] <Ddorda> bullgard4: no. I have a voice controller in the notification are.. not panel applet
[11:34] <iceroot> chilli0: and why do you say something about apache?
[11:34] <AliSrc> Hi guys, i have a quistion, what is best Ubuntu 9.10 or Ubuntu Netbook Remix+
[11:35] <lstarnes> AliSrc: it depends on what you want to use it for
[11:35] <llutz> chilli0: why should apache open gui-apps?
[11:35] <chilli0> iceroot,  Im trying to run it through apache . ( CGI )
[11:35] <bullgard4> Ddorda: The PulseAudio Applet is an unusual applet: It is in the notification area.
[11:35] <chilli0> I have apache running under the user
[11:35] <Ddorda> bullgard4: so how can I rmeove it?
[11:35] <chilli0> And im trying to run cgi that starts a gui
[11:35] <AliSrc> lsrarnes: What is defferent betweem them?
[11:36] <lstarnes> AliSrc: the netbook remix is designed specifically for netbooks
[11:36] <lstarnes> AliSrc: if you don't use a netbook, then you probably want the regular desktop edition
[11:36] <iceroot> chilli0: hmmm have a look at /var/log/apache2/error.log
[11:36] <bullgard4> Ddorda: Left-click > Quit.
[11:36] <chilli0> iceroot, I get this :

[11:37] <saif> something happened to it
[11:37] <lstarnes> AliSrc: you can install the netbook remix then install the packages for the regular desktop edition and remove the netbook remix packages
[11:37] <bullgard4> Ddorda: Right. Therefore I asked you what is the name of the thing that you are talking about.

[11:50] <Dr_Willis> But it would let you get the thing installed at least.
[11:50] <zer_x252> DR_Willis: how does such a thing happen to a cdrom0?
[11:50] <Rahim> jmcs: thanks :)
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> zer_x252:  not sure. its automounting, so getting some conruseing options from somewhere.
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> You could proberly just mount it by hand also.
[11:52] <zer_x252> Dr_Willis: mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[11:53] <Tomaros> i am using ubuntu livecd on a windows machine, and i my question. how to mount and access the ntfs partitions?
[11:53] <zer_x252> Dr_Willis: get access denied errors when attempting to copy files from it as well
[11:53] <acidburn`> hey guys, quick wireless issue my friend is having on karma, his wireless device shows up in lspci output, put on iwconfig he only has l0 and eth0
[11:54] <Tomaros> .?
[11:54] <pash21> hi! im searching for fpc (free pascal compiler) for ubuntu 9.10 on a PS3 (ppc64),  the package i found on the fp-hp seems not to work.(
[11:55] <Tomaros> ?
[11:55] <Tomaros> help
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> zer_x252:  its getting mounted with the wrong owner. use root.. or mount it properly.
[11:55] <zer_x252> Dr_Willis: that was using root
[11:55] <chilli0> I have apache running under the user that is running currently but for some reason it cant start programs or anything ( tryed it start rhythmbox in cgi but got x11 issues) Is there anyway to check if they are both under the same user
[11:56] <Dr_Willis> zer_x252:  Hmm..  You sure of that? root should be able to access/copy it  - how are you trying to copy them>
[11:56] <acidburn`> anyone know what the problem could be? is it a driver issue?
[11:56] <zer_x252> Dr_Willis: sudo nautilus, move to /media/cdrom0, copy files to /home/<user>/
[11:56] <chilli0> I get this http://pastebin.com/m5dcc904a
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> zer_x252:  i suggest you forget all about EVER doing 'sudo nautilus'  I have seen runnign that as root goof up SO many things.. :)
[11:57] <Dr_Willis> zer_x252:  try it via the shell.
[11:57] <zer_x252> Dr_Willis: Error reading from file: Input/output error
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> zer_x252:  that sounds like a dirty cd/ or drive to me..
[11:58] <Tomaros> HELP
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> at leat its progress..
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> Tomaros:  you could ask an actual question.
[11:58] <oCean_> !gr | Tomaros
[11:58] <iceroot> !gksudo | zer_x252
[11:58] <zer_x252> Dr_Willis: still doesn't explain why its mounting to "user 503"
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> Tomaros:  just asking then going helop help help.. gets you ignored by most people.
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> zer_x252:  yep. that is the weird part.
[11:58] <zer_x252> iceroot: completely understand using gksudo, just typically forget that it exists and run sudo
[11:59] <Tomaros> i am using ubuntu livecd on a windows machine, and i my question. how to mount and access the ntfs partitions?
[11:59] <Tomaros> Dr_Willis:
[11:59] <Tomaros> here is my q
[11:59] <acidburn`> hey guys, quick wireless issue my friend is having on karma, his wireless device shows up in lspci output, put on iwconfig he only has l0 and eth0, any ideas what could be wrong? Is it a driver problem?
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> Tomaros:  i just access them from the 'Places' location menu Tomaros  i thouight they auto mounted.
[11:59] <Tomaros> i get an error
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> Tomaros:  Now we are getting to the actual problem then it seems.. and the error is?
[12:00] <lizheng> hello
[12:00] <chilli0> I have apache running under the user that is running currently but for some reason it cant start programs or anything ( tryed it start rhythmbox in cgi but got x11 issues) Is there anyway to check if they are both under the same user
[12:00] <chilli0> I get this http://pastebin.com/m5dcc904a
[12:00] <aman> can anyone tell me if there is any .NET framework software available in UBUNTU????
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> !info mono
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> !mono
[12:00] <oCean_> chilli0: why run apache under other user than the usual www-data
[12:00] <iceroot> aman: momo   but dont use something bad like .net
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> aman:  thats what mono is all about.. but i rarely use it
[12:01] <chilli0> oCean_,  Did you read what i said ?
[12:01] <chilli0> oCean_, "I have apache running under the user that is running"
[12:01] <aman> iceroot, sorry didn't get your point of "bad".
[12:01] <Tomaros> Dr_Willis: says invalid mount option: the option "locale=en_usutf8" is not allowed for uid=999
[12:01] <aman> Dr_Willis, which mono package
[12:01] <iceroot> aman: licence
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> Tomaros:  you could 'sudo apt-get install ntfs-config' then run ntfs-config and see if it lets you access them then.
[12:02] <oCean_> chilli0: yeah, is that your issue, or is that something you have accomplished and want us to know? What is your actual issue?
[12:02] <aman> iceroot, do i need a license for mono?
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> aman:  No idea. some mono parts are installed by default I belive
[12:02] <zer_x252> Dr_Willis: /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0 is the fstab line for my cdrom drive, should I change user to my user name?
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> zer_x252:  the word 'user' in that line means 'lets users mount/unmount the device' Not  a specific user.
[12:03] <iceroot> aman: no but if microsoft wants it, they can change there licence so that mono is not legal anymore. there was a big discussion some month ago with debian using mono as default
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> zer_x252:  if you are getting read/write/io errors on the cd. I would sugest cleaning the cd. and trying it again.
[12:03] <chilli0> oCean_,  The issue is that I cant do anything to this user. I need to be able to run rhythmbox
[12:03]  * Dr_Willis cant stand .Net and thus really is wary of mono as well.
[12:03] <aman> iceroot, oh ok, thanks for telling me. will keep that important point in mind....
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> Then again.. Im not really sure what .net and mono actually 'do' for  us.
[12:03] <oCean_> chilli0: you start the machine, ubuntu boots, then graphical login works?
[12:04] <zheng> 3
[12:04] <chilli0> oCean_, yes
[12:04] <chilli0> oCean_, Do you under stand what i want to do
[12:04] <oCean_> chilli0: well, and then? *nothing* graphical works?
[12:05] <chilli0> oCean_,  wtf are you talking about ?
[12:05] <oCean_> chilli0: no, I don't understand one bit of it
[12:05] <oCean_> chilli0: your graphical login is ok, and then??
[12:05] <chilli0> oCean_,  Im trying to run a gui through apache cgi
[12:06] <michael_> hello
[12:06] <oCean_> chilli0: well, that kind of info might be wise to mention, when repeating your issues!
[12:07] <chilli0> oCean_,  wtf ?
[12:07] <chilli0> I have apache running under the user that is running currently but for some reason it cant start programs or anything ( tryed it start rhythmbox in cgi but got x11 issues) Is there anyway to check if they are both under the same user
[12:07] <aviator_> #ubuntu-fr
[12:07] <chilli0> I said there that im trying to run rhythmbox under apache cgi
[12:08] <lstarnes> chilli0: you could also try running apache as a proxy for rhythmbox
[12:08] <chilli0> lstarnes,  I dont want that
[12:08] <lstarnes> chilli0: why not?
[12:09] <chilli0> lstarnes,  Do you now what im tryig to do ?
[12:09] <lstarnes> chilli0: yes
[12:09] <chilli0> Whats that?
[12:09] <lstarnes> chilli0: you are trying to run rhythmbox using apache's cgi
[12:09] <lstarnes> chilli0: I honestly feel insulted that you would seriously ask me that
[12:10] <chilli0> lstarnes,  How would using apache as a proxy help ?
[12:10] <lstarnes> chilli0: please forget that I even said that.  It was a mmomentary lapse of jugdement
[12:10] <lstarnes> *judgement
[12:10] <chilli0> Ok
[12:11] <chilli0> Im really uber confused
[12:11] <lstarnes> chilli0: what has been the result of your efforts so far?
[12:11] <aman> iceroot, shall i download it from the monodevelop.com or i can get it from the repositories????
[12:11] <lstarnes> aman: it should be in the repositories
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> aman:  try a 'apt-cache search mono'
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> I was thinking parts of mono are installed by default
[12:12] <lstarnes> chilli0: I suspect an environment issue
[12:12] <aman> Dr_Willis, there are a lot of result regarding that......:)...but i don't know which one is correct...:P
[12:12] <lstarnes> chilli0: such as $DISPLAY not beind defined
[12:13] <chilli0> Because It can see all the processes of my user ( I can see that rhythem box is running , even xchat )
[12:13] <chilli0> ( Under the apache)
[12:13] <iceroot> aman: repo i would use
[12:13] <oCean_> chilli0: you might still have to grant access to X server. Already tried a "xhost +" command?
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> aman:  it todally depends on what parts of mono you want. Its a rather complex 'thing' from what i gather
[12:13] <iceroot> aman: but i dont know what is better, because i dont use something like mono
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> aman:  time to get Your glasses on and staart reading up on mono i guess. :)
[12:14] <chilli0>  oCean_ Trying now
[12:15] <aman> Dr_Willis, iceroot, thanks for your kind info...guys and yes you are right its my tuern now to find it up which one should i install....:)
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> http://www.mono-project.com/Monkeyguide   The Mono Handbook is a guide to the Mono runtime, related tools, and libraries developed by the Mono team.
[12:15] <lstarnes> chilli0: I wasn't even aware that rhythmbox could be used with apache
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> aman:  i imagine its not 'one' pacakge you install.. but proberly several dozen
[12:15] <chilli0> lstarnes,  It cant
[12:15] <aman> Dr_Willis, yup, even i think so..:)
[12:15] <iceroot> aman: and dont develop mono/.net  use a free language
[12:16] <iceroot> aman: develop for...
[12:16] <lstarnes> iceroot: mono is a free implementation of .net/c#
[12:16] <chilli0> lstarnes,  Im using cgi
[12:16] <aman> iceroot, actually i m learning .net from HCL but now i want to do practicals, thats why i want mono....:)
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> We all need yet more languages.. )
[12:16]  * Dr_Willis finds Python pratical
[12:17] <lstarnes> chilli0: if you have the evironment set correctly, it should work
[12:17] <iceroot> lstarnes: correct. you read the discussion about debian and mono? what happens if microsoft is changing the licence for .net. then you get big problems with mono
[12:17] <lstarnes> chilli0: but generally cgi isn't used with gui applications
[12:17] <chilli0> lstarnes,  How can i set it up ?
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> Then again - i spent time and learned some python.. Mono and .Net have basiallay just been a pain  when they break.
[12:17] <lstarnes> chilli0: generally you just need DISPLAY set correctly
[12:17] <chilli0> lstarnes,  python is going to be controling rhythmbox
[12:17] <lstarnes> chilli0: usually, DISPLAY should be :0 or :0.0
[12:18] <lstarnes> iceroot: mono could remove the infringing parts
[12:18] <grawity> iceroot: C# is free, Mono is free
[12:18] <iceroot> lstarnes: and then its not working anymore correctly... you know what i mean with "problems about mono"
[12:18] <iceroot> grawity: free?
[12:19] <lstarnes> iceroot: I personally don't use it for the reason that .net and c# are crap
[12:19] <chilli0> lstarnes, How do i set that up lol
[12:19] <facebag> I had an unexpected powerdown, and some minor data loss... but before I go to whipping out backups, I can still see the partition in disk utility, however it says "1245 GB Unrecognized" is it possible to somehow mount this as ext3 or repair it as ext3?
[12:19] <lstarnes> chilli0: I'm not sure
[12:19] <lstarnes> chilli0: depending on what cgi language you are using, it should have a way to set environment variables
[12:19] <iceroot> grawity: free as in freedom or free beer?
[12:19] <facebag> since the backups I have arent exactly 100% up-to-date (I can't constantly backup 1.2tb)
[12:20] <lstarnes> iceroot: what about java?
[12:20] <iceroot> lstarnes: openjdk is free
[12:20] <lstarnes> iceroot: I thought sun was going to try to finish replacing non-free components of its own implementation
[12:21] <iceroot> lstarnes: but not finished yet
[12:21]  * Dr_Willis wonders if it will ever get finished
[12:22] <Dr_Willis> or by the time it gets finished.. flash will have taken over the world.
[12:22] <chris_> Java isnt the same as flash
[12:22] <Dr_Willis> chris_:  i see flash taking over more and more some of the 'things' java was ment to do.  (run anywhere code, and so forth)
[12:22]  * Dr_Willis shudders at Adobe 'air'
[12:23] <iceroot> if you dont like flash, use silverlight (or waht it was called)...
[12:23]  * Dr_Willis really shudders at 'silverlight'
[12:23] <lstarnes> iceroot: silverlight is related to .net
[12:23] <iceroot> Dr_Willis: :) sorry for that
[12:23] <iceroot> lstarnes: i know
[12:24] <chris_> I think javascript will take over flash :P
[12:24] <iceroot> lstarnes: and with linux using moonlight
[12:24] <facebag> anyone?
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> it just seems all these 'other ways' to do common tasks that java was supposed to be able to do.. have been slowly (or fastly) chipping at java to a point where java is becomming pointless..  due in large part to how SUN has handled java over the years.
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> but what do i know.. I dont even Use computers at work. :)
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> I just watch the trends
[12:26] <frogzoo> java's not disappearing server side any time soon
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> frogzoo:  i imagine most users never even see that part of it. :)
[12:27] <mazda01> trying to find the mythtv.png for the main menu. how would I search if I don't know the fullname? i tried locate 'mythtv*.png' but that doesn't work. i also tried find 'mythtv*.png'
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> what no .net for servers? :)
[12:27] <frogzoo> heh
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  you could ask in #mythbuntu
[12:27] <mazda01> nevermind, it's find / -name 'myth*.png'
[12:28] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, i could ask in mythbuntu but it boiled down to knowing how to use the find command and I figured that's more ubuntu specific than myth specific
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  it could also be a 'svg' image..   Seeing that as a trend also. :)
[12:29] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, yes, understood. the main question is how to search for a file when only the exact begining and end strings are known. example, i knew it would start with myth and end with png or svg.
[12:30] <frogzoo> mazda01: try dpkg -L pkgname
[12:30] <mazda01> frogzoo, it's not a package though, it's an icon
[12:31] <anomaly> mazda01 -> find / -name "myth*.png" -print
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> Install picassa and have it index every image on the whole system :)
[12:31] <mazda01> anom01y, thank you!
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> amazing the stuff you find that way
[12:32] <oasa> i neeeeeeed help plls its very imp..
[12:32] <frogzoo> Dr_Willis: that's so crazy it just might work ;)

[12:33] <somdev> Hello.... can anyone tell me how to start Kaffeine  at a predefined time ???? I tried with Cron.... but failed...
[12:33] <oasa> tried parted ... with live cd and it shows all sectors as unallocated
[12:34] <rFalk> choosing a dekstop theme causes all windows to grey out and the mouse cursor to lag. i need to reboot then. what might be the problem? im using a fully updated system
[12:34] <oasa> help me..
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> oasa:  why are you partitioniogn a USB into '2' and  you are trying toboot this USB drive? or what exactly?
[12:36] <oasa> Dr_WIllis : I just wanted to try.
[12:36] <oasa> Dr_Willis
[12:36] <oasa> :
[12:36] <peyotll> hi all
[12:36] <oasa> now when i use live session i can seee the SCSI drive but cannot be mouinted
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> oasa:  try what exactly? be more verbose..  this playing 20 questions to get to the actual problem. is not productive
[12:36] <oasa> i was trying this :
[12:36] <oasa> sudo parted
[12:36] <oasa> select /dev/sdb (wher my usb was there)
[12:36] <oasa> and den
[12:37] <oasa> rm 1 rm 2

[12:37] <mazda01> is there a way to easily increase the amount of bash history to keep? meaning, i am in a gnome-terminal and i want to be able to scroll back upward more than I currently can. can't i increase the hisrtoy?
[12:37] <oasa> sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
[12:37] <anomaly> one of the hallowed hacker laws, oasa.. a hatred for redundancy.
[12:37] <peyotll> anybody know how I could configure 5.1 kit in command line? or where is the conf file?
[12:37] <oasa> mkpart 1 p fat32
[12:37] <oasa> thats it..
[12:37] <oasa> and another mkpart2 p fat32
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> oasa:  do you deleted your partitions on the usb, then remade 2 new ones.. and what was this to acomplish?
[12:38] <llutz> mazda01: man bash (histsize)
[12:38] <oasa> Dr_Willis: Simply... time pass ... but i did not do anything to SCSI.
[12:38] <oasa> i am sure of that.
[12:38] <anomaly> mazda01 I am feeling charitable today.. here's another.. for your bashrc file -> HISTSIZE=500
[12:38] <oasa> Dr_Willis: Help me
[12:38] <anomaly> or whatever you like of course.. could be 1,000 etc
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> oasa:   so whats on the flash drive now?  what other OS is on the machine?
[12:38] <StargazerX> hey how do i share date between my 2 ubuntu laptops (wired connection)
[12:38] <StargazerX> ?
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> oasa:  repeating 'help me ' over and over.. just tends to get you ignored more and more.
[12:39] <oasa> Dr_Willis L Okay
[12:39] <oasa> is there any ways to get any of my file back?
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> StargazerX:  ssh, sshfs, scp, nfs,  samba, ftp, or proberly other ways
[12:39] <oasa> i mean the whole 3 partitions are lost.
[12:39] <oasa> I had Win Vista.
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> oasa:  files from where? the flash drive? or the hard drive? Be more verbose/clear
[12:40] <StargazerX> Dr_Willis: whats the fastest way
[12:40] <oasa> which was my boot partition.
[12:40] <anomaly> oasa if you were tinkering with the partitions.. do not be suprised if there is data loss.
[12:40] <StargazerX> Dr_Willis: i use kde on my boxes btw
[12:40] <oasa> the hard drive
[12:40] <oasa> the usb is fine with 2 partitions.
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> oasa:  see what parttions exist with 'sudo fdisk -l'   and hope you dident  repartition the wrong drive
[12:40] <mazda01> anom01y, thanks!!! i have to restart bash right?
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> StargazerX: fast as in 'fasetest to get going right now..' or fast as in 'fastest through put for the next year'
[12:40] <oasa> Dr_willis: when i did parted and p.
[12:40] <oasa> it shows all sectors to be unallocated.
[12:41] <chris_> I cleared my hard drive accidently some months ago :P
[12:41] <anomaly> mazda01 logout/in/
[12:41] <anomaly> or just another term window if in X
[12:41] <oasa> oasa: i am quite sure i dint repartiton the wrong drive.. as my usb has 2 parttions now.
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> oasa:  pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' for the channel to look at.
[12:41] <StargazerX> Dr_Willis: now
[12:41] <llutz> mazda01: . .bashrc
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> oasa:  you did try  booting with the usb drive removed?
[12:41] <chris_> test
[12:41] <oasa> how can i pastebin the output. my computer doesnt start
[12:41] <chilli0> How do i setup DISPLAY in ubuntu ?
[12:41] <oasa> GRUB doesnt load ERROR 22
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> StargazerX:  scp/ssfs takes about 2 min to setup
[12:41] <hl_99> hi, im using a logitech anywhere mx, are there any drivers for ubuntu?
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> StargazerX:  http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/2-ways-to-mount-folder-filesystem.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+webupd8+%28Web+Upd8+-+What%27s+New+On+The+WWW%29
[12:42] <rsk> hl_99, dosent it work?
[12:42] <hl_99> it does
[12:42] <rsk> then there is drivers
[12:42] <rsk> :)
[12:42] <hl_99> but i would like to use more special buttons etc
[12:42] <hl_99> and id like to know battery status
[12:43] <oasa> Dr_Willis : I mean hpow can it erase filesystem by itself ?
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> oasa:  My first guess.. would be you did somthing wrong..
[12:43] <oasa> Dr_WIllis:  I happen to notice more time in shutting down though.
[12:43] <llutz> oasa: try testdisk/gpart to recover
[12:43] <chris_> For anyone who wants a linux/freedos/ubuntu booting from an usb stick: I discovered a great tool yesterday: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[12:43] <oasa> okay lulltz
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> oasa:  my second guess would be th HD died.
[12:43] <anomaly> yep.. unetbootin is nice.
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> chris_:  check out pendrivelinux.com :)
[12:44] <chris_> Yeah :P I didnt manage to install freedos on my usb stick, and whit unetbootin I could
[12:44] <anomaly> can install winders from it too, if one was so required.  (or forced by work related)
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> chris_:  with grub2 - you an boot iso files for many disrtos these days also.
[12:45] <anomaly> chris_ try virtualbox some time.. I run about four guest operating systems for testing purposes within a main linux host.
[12:46] <somdev> I want to schedule my internet connection to start at 2:05 AM and off at 7:50 AM.... what to do ??? I'm using pppoe....
[12:46] <StargazerX> Dr_Willis: is scp better?
[12:46] <qt-x> Dr_Willis for scp doesn't need a ssh connection ?
[12:46] <chris_> Hmm, I dont like virtual box since my PC is kinda old xP
[12:46] <StargazerX> Dr_Willis: or sshfs should i use
[12:47] <grawity> qt-x: SCP, SFTP, and SSHFS require SSH.
[12:47] <grawity> SCP is older, SFTP is recommended. SSHFS uses SFTP.
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> StargazerX:  flip a coin.. they are for different speficic cases.. theuy as basically the same
[12:47] <anomaly> christ qemu or bochs then.  I have seen it work with about 1gb ddr1
[12:48] <qt-x> if i use command like scp sorce dest wont work without ssh connection ?
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> !ssg
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> !ssh
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> scp is part of SSH./
[12:48] <llutz> qt-x: it will initiate a conenction
[12:48] <chris_> Yes, booting freedos is kinda useless... But I wanted to play around with it for some hours to discover the differences between dos and linux
[12:48] <anomaly> hence the 's' in the name, qt-z
[12:49] <qt-x> so that is how it works :D
[12:49] <anomaly> x*
[12:49] <chris_> And they aren comperable xP
[12:49] <qt-x> secure copy :D scp
[12:49] <qt-x> so scp is a client for ssh server
[12:49] <qt-x> :D
[12:49] <anomaly> chris_ this is why emulation is nice instead of rebooting :)  a minimalist machine can still boot basic linux distros and such.
[12:49] <chilli0> How can python cgi control the user its running under ? ( Like start a program At the moment i get this http://pastebin.com/m62bda3ee) When I run this http://pastebin.com/m61b17a4c. Apache is and has been started under the user chilli0 ( the one im curruntly loged into.
[12:50] <grawity> qt-x: technically, the client is "ssh" -- when you run scp, it uses ssh to connect. (The "sftp" command does the same.)
[12:50] <oasa> llutz. how to do that
[12:51] <oasa> and Dr_Willis : does that mean i wontever get the data and i cant use the HDD again?
[12:51] <llutz> oasa: read documentation
[12:51] <oasa> testdisk is nt installed in live session and i cant apt-get it
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> oasa:  see if the partitions still exist (via fdisk -l) and try to mount them.
[12:52] <oasa> Dr_WIllis the hdd exists but no partition
[12:52] <chris_> Yes, but honestly I dont need many systems.. I've been using arch the last couple of months, and could do almost everything with it, but I liked the software repository of ubuntu, so yesterday I reinstalled xubuntu, and that was why I was experimenting with unetbootin :P
[12:52] <hseries> has anyone got ubuntu audio to work on the latest macbook pros?
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> oasa:  it almost sounds like you accidently repartioned that drive as well.. you may want to askin #windows about tools to try tio recover the partion info.
[12:53] <oasa> i had ubuntu Dr_Willis why i should ask in windows.
[12:53] <anomaly> chris_ no worries.. just speaking of conveinance.  arch is my main distro for work.  I just use virtualbox when I want to tinker with other distros or oses.  I have 6gb of ddr3 to burn :)
[12:53] <oasa> can i get files stored in my ubuntu FileSystem ?
[12:53] <oasa> there are no othe way.
[12:53] <oasa> llutz: tell me how to recover ..
[12:53] <oasa> please.. i neva hav back up of any fiek..
[12:53] <oasa> file.
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> oasa:  its a windows partition was it not that got trashed?
[12:54] <hamzaatova2> the microphone settings always lower them selves so skype doesnt work and i neet to increase them agian - why?
[12:54] <llutz> oasa: sudo gpart /dev/sdX
[12:54] <oasa> Dr_Willis : My entire HDD. No ubuntu No Windows Nothing
[12:54] <qt-x> in order to exchange data thru ssh,it is require to have on both machines a ssh server or  just one of them ?
[12:54] <paw162> hi everyone
[12:55] <chris_> Hmm, Iḿ going to try it out :P
[12:55] <llutz> qt-x: just one
[12:55] <qt-x> hi  paw162
[12:55] <oasa> I am now in Live Session and there for no gpart also. And i cant apt-get also.
[12:55] <paw162> who pl??
[12:55] <llutz> oasa: live-cd uses aufs? you should be able to apt-get install it
[12:55] <oasa> Dr.Willis : When i go to Computer i see a SCSI DRIVE which cannot be mounted.
[12:55] <llutz> !pl | paw162
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> oasa:  with no filesystems shown on it via fdisk, that makes sence.
[12:56] <paw162> thanks
[12:56] <oasa> lllutz : It says gpart has no installation canditattes.
[12:56] <llutz> oasa: live-cd uses aufs? you should be able to apt-get install it
[12:56] <aman> anyone tell me a command to startup nautilus, i have end it up accidently...
[12:56] <anomaly> gparted*
[12:56] <aman> now i want to run it again
[12:56] <qt-x> llutz how will it look the command for sending a file from the machine with ssh server to the one without ?
[12:56] <llutz> anomaly: gpart, not gparted!
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> aman:  'nautilus' i belive
[12:57] <aman> Dr_Willis, i tried and it works...:0
[12:57] <oasa> Dr_Willis : I know it makes sense. But how did it delete itself. I had 3 parttions Filesysstem (ubuntu) Win Vista and 1 other nt to say about a swap aprtion.
[12:57] <aman> :)
[12:57] <oasa> llutz : help me
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> oasa:  first guess.. You did somthing wrong.. second guess.. the HD died..
[12:57] <llutz> oasa: apt-get install gpart testdisk
[12:58] <oasa> play
[12:58] <llutz> oasa: check for sources if your repos have no candidate
[12:58] <legend2440> oasa: enable Universe repo
[12:58] <oasa> so if your first guess is right is there any way i can get atelast files in ubunu
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> the site here -> has some info on 'how to recover from common disasters'  ---> http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/
[12:59] <aman> Dr_Willis, i did "nautilus" and it started it but when i pressed ^C it ended nautilus too but now i made it a background process using "nautilus &". Is it ok?
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> aman:  its doing what you told it to do. L:)
[13:00] <oasa> again no candidate.
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> aman:  use &, then the exit command
[13:00] <aman> Dr_Willis, yup i did exactly and it working for me i think...:)
[13:01] <PrototypeX29A> hi
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> aman:  just learn to NOT hit the 'close' button on terminals.. use the exit command - that way things in the Background can stay running. :)
[13:01] <mazda01> according to 9.10 my drive is dieing. is it ok to just backup /etc/ and /home/ and then also use aptoncd. then install new hardware, install karmic fresh, then run aptoncd to restrore all packages, then just boot up love cd and paste old /etc/ and /home/ from backup onto new system? will that work?
[13:01] <aman> Dr_Willis, thanks for the advice and even i did same....:)
[13:01] <PrototypeX29A> i fail to open a directory with mp3s in rhythmbox, but i am not sure whethere the problem is in the program or somewhere with me
[13:02] <mazda01> love cd= live cd

[13:07] <mazda01> legend2440, well, i guess i'll just make the leap. i have a full backup i created with simple backup stored off on seperate server so if things go haywire, i suppose i can copy paste from that once system is up.
[13:07] <erUSUL> nameo0: or use lsusb lspci and lshw in terminal
[13:08] <g0tchaa> hey guys, is there a web design software for ubuntu that is similar to dreamweaver?
[13:08] <chris_> No
[13:08] <PrototypeX29A> i rhythm considered a full program in ubuntu?
[13:08] <erUSUL> !html
[13:08] <chris_> I have searched a lot for an alternative for dreamweaver, but thereś no good one
[13:08] <erUSUL> g0tchaa: look into aptana too
[13:08] <nameo0> thy
[13:08] <mazda01> legend2440, i wish simple backup restore would keep the ownership when restoring because i just use that but i don't want to have to chown everything!
[13:09] <g0tchaa> thanks erUSUL
[13:10] <mazda01> anyone know way to solve cairo-dock with compiz and mplayer issue? video playback has seized to exist with compiz and cairo-dock
[13:10] <oasa> how do i write iso to usb
[13:10] <chris_> g0tchaa: take a look at CMS systems (CMS made simple)
[13:10] <qt-x> Can I use scp between GNU/Linux and windows[putty] ?
[13:10] <llutz> qt-x: yes
[13:10] <qt-x> :D
[13:10] <llutz> qt-x: pscp /putty
[13:10] <g0tchaa> chris_, what is that?
[13:11] <g0tchaa> ill google it actually hehe
[13:11] <g0tchaa> thanks for the suggestion
[13:11] <erUSUL> oasa: we've told you use unetbootin;
[13:11] <erUSUL> qt-x: you can use winscp or putty as *client* i do not know of a windos ssh server
[13:12] <darkmattr> anyone have an idea why my wireless interface disappears after my laptop wakes up from sleep?
[13:12] <llutz> erUSUL: i.e. freesshd
[13:12] <chris_> programs (often written in PHP) to manage your website. They often have some dreamweaver like features. But they can do much more than dreamweaver
[13:13] <chris_> For example, with a code like this: <?guestbook?> in your html you can add a guestbook :P
[13:13] <chris_> And you manage your website via some admin panel.
[13:13] <oasa> erUSL what is unetbootin
[13:13] <chris_> (instead of PHP)
[13:13] <chris_> uhm i mean
[13:14] <chris_> (instead of ftp xP)
[13:14] <bazhang> oasa, its what you use to create a bootable usb key. oasa is english not your native language?
[13:15] <g0tchaa> chris_, cool.. sounds easy.. can you recommend one that you used maybe?
[13:15] <qt-x> Is there a way to connect ssh to a virtual ip and how do i wrote the address if yes ?
[13:15] <unop> qt-x, what's a virtual IP address?
[13:16] <FANDER1> guys how can I let Win XP boot first?
[13:16] <isolat3dsh33p> Q: what does this code means « 2> » ?
[13:16] <qt-x> a ip that is local and not directly on internet i guess.
[13:16] <llutz> isolat3dsh33p: redirect stferr
[13:16] <oasa> bazhang yes i know english how to create a bootable ? in usb
[13:16] <llutz> stderr
[13:17] <unop> isolat3dsh33p, in what context?
[13:17] <iceroot> qt-x: ssh ip-adress
[13:17] <oasa> i mean right now i am using \vista ..
[13:17] <iceroot> qt-x: or better  ssh user@ipadress
[13:17] <isolat3dsh33p> llutz: any other like 1>? What's the man page?
[13:17] <qt-x> won't work
[13:17] <unop> qt-x,  if you want to connect to it from the internet, you need to get your router/firewall forward port 22/tcp to this address
[13:17] <bazhang> oasa, as has been said several times, unetbootin; what version of ubuntu are you using now
[13:17] <llutz> isolat3dsh33p: 1 is stdot
[13:17] <qt-x> only if ip is real
[13:17] <llutz> stdout, sry typing
[13:17] <grawity> qt-x: 1) There is no such thing as "virtual IP address". 2) Both LAN and Internet addresses are used in the same way.
[13:17] <unop> qt-x, and then you connect to your public address
[13:17] <iceroot> qt-x: of course the ip must be real
[13:18] <isolat3dsh33p> llutz: Is there any man page for this? What does « > » called?
[13:18] <iceroot> qt-x: but there arent virtual adresses
[13:18] <llutz> isolat3dsh33p: man bash (redirection)
[13:18] <unop> isolat3dsh33p, see the bash manpage - search for "redirection"
[13:18] <isolat3dsh33p> llutz, unop: thanks :)
[13:19] <chilli0> Does anyone know how to get cgi to be able to control the current user. Apache is running as the user but when i run commands under cgi it dont work
[13:19] <llutz> isolat3dsh33p: that sign is called "redirection"
[13:19] <iceroot> chilli0: #httpd
[13:19] <unop> isolat3dsh33p, also, since this isn't specific to bash, see http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_07
[13:20] <isolat3dsh33p> unop: thanks. Seems like there's no man page for it in the terminal.
[13:20] <qt-x> I thought that I could form a address for a virtual ip address with the help of the real one
[13:20] <unop> isolat3dsh33p, there's the bash manpage
[13:20] <oasa> guys it doesn not help me..
[13:21] <oasa> any other way..
[13:21] <qt-x> but it sims i'll have to work on my firewall :D
[13:21] <unop> qt-x, i explained port-forwarding for this scenario ...
[13:21] <bazhang> oasa, answer my question please; what version of ubuntu are you using.
[13:21] <isolat3dsh33p> unop: ok, looking at it now ;)
[13:21] <iceroot> qt-x: there are no virtual adresses!!
[13:22] <chilli0> iceroot,  I think I need to set the enviroment up but dont know how
[13:22] <iceroot> chilli0: why using apache to controll a gui-app?
[13:22] <jzaboo> Hello, just got a question regarding curlftps. I got a Backup-FTP for my root machine wich I just can access from the server (using ssh) but not from outside (WAN). So I thought about mounting the directory using curlftps but this gives me an I/O error... mc as ftp client works fine so I guess it's just a configuration mistake made by myself but what?
[13:23] <qt-x> then how it is called myi ip address behind the rooter that is not directly connected to internet ?
[13:23] <chilli0> iceroot, rhythmbox
[13:23] <iceroot> qt-x: local adress
[13:23] <llutz> qt-x: local ip
[13:23] <unop> qt-x, private address to be strict
[13:23] <qt-x> I kowit as virtual :D
[13:23] <iceroot> qt-x: forget virtual
[13:23] <unop> qt-x, that's a misleading term
[13:23] <qt-x> ok :D
[13:24] <llutz> qt-x: kick your teacher
[13:24] <qt-x> I will
[13:24] <jzaboo> unless his teacher is his boss :-P
[13:24] <iceroot> then he can kick him virtually
[13:24] <jzaboo> hehe
[13:24] <qt-x> :)
[13:24] <jzaboo> nice one!
[13:25] <jzaboo> anyone who can help me out probably withmy question (see above)?
[13:25] <jzaboo> Or doesn#t ubuntu irc support htis app?
[13:25] <FANDER1> guys I have ubuntu 9.10, where to find menul.lst for grub?
[13:25] <FANDER1> I can't find it in /boot/grub
[13:26] <om26er> is gnome lighter than KDE?
[13:26] <jzaboo> .. /boot/grub/menul.lst i guess
[13:26] <rsk> om26er, yea
[13:26] <unop> FANDER1, 9.10 uses grub2 which uses grub.cfg instead
[13:26] <chris_> gnome= lighter than kde and xfce = lighter than gnome
[13:26] <IdleOne> !grub2
[13:26] <bazhang> FANDER1, ^^
[13:26] <qt-x> xfce is ligther than kde ?
[13:26]  * om26er add lxde  is lighter than all
[13:27] <chris_> For sure :P
[13:27] <chris_> Yeah, but lxde is not user-friendly
[13:27] <jzaboo> @ubottu thankx for that info... didn#t know they changed it... just did a dist-upgrade over ssh and can't look at my bootloader without using the ethernet KVM
[13:27] <Stoy> cough, cough, fluxbox
[13:27] <chris_> Fluxbox is also not user-driendly
[13:27] <Stoy> but it is lite
[13:28] <chris_> Yeah, very lite, but the console is lighter -_-
[13:28] <Stoy> yep
[13:28] <chris_> lol i mean liter :P
[13:28] <IdleOne> pen and paper is even lighter.
[13:28] <om26er> chris_, lubuntu is going official so it lxde will be made user-friendly for sure
[13:28] <ambro718> Hi, how do I get bash man pages (e.g. trap, wait)?
[13:28] <chris_> Lol ok, I believe you, I will try it out when lubuntu is official
[13:28] <maco> ambro718: man bash
[13:28] <erUSUL> ambro718: help wait
[13:28] <sven_> hello
[13:29] <erUSUL> ambro718: help trap; help read; etc...
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> User fiendlly is just another buzzword. :)
[13:29] <gp> I HATE KARMIC KOAAAALAAA
[13:29] <erUSUL> gp: we hate caps
[13:29] <Stoy> userfriendly if a webcomic
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> gp:  demand a refund.
[13:29] <maco> gp: really, not necessary to do that every time you enter a channel
[13:29] <qt-x> ambro718 apt-get install manpages-dev
[13:30] <erUSUL> qt-x: manpages-dev does not contain the help for bash built ins
[13:30] <ambro718> in gentoo I have wait(1P) which has a much more detailed description of wait; help wait shows just a summary.
[13:30] <gp> I HATE KARMIC KOAAAALAAA
[13:30] <erUSUL> !ops | gp
[13:30] <IdleOne> !caps | gp
[13:30] <Morice> gp, zhy§
[13:30] <ambro718> also it's not in manpages-dev
[13:31] <chris_> But in my opinion Linux isnt the ultimate system as long as it isnt as stable as Mac os X
[13:31] <erUSUL> ambro718: maybe gentoo has an independent (not bash built in) program
[13:31] <llutz> !ot | chris_
[13:31] <erUSUL> !ot | chris_
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> chris_:  you dont want to get me started on the OS-X problems ive had....
[13:31] <lvjunyang> hello
[13:31] <bazhang> gp, please stop
[13:31] <M3TVF> can someone remind me of the command to search the cache
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> M3TVF:  what cache?
[13:31] <llutz> M3TVF: apt-cache search ...
[13:31] <bazhang> M3TVF, apt-cache search package
[13:31] <om26er> great
[13:31] <gp> bazhang: I have stopped
[13:31] <M3TVF> cheers
[13:33] <gp> can someone pl help me solve my problem .........i will give 1 million $
[13:34] <bazhang> gp, just ask
[13:34] <om26er> gp, you will get kicked
[13:34] <mka> gp: what is your problem?
[13:34] <mka> gp: we help for free
[13:35] <qt-x> chris_   linux comes  in many forms maybe you've got some bad experience with it but there are stabel version who can bring a plesent experience even for beginers
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> In my oponion there is no 'ultimate' system. never will be.
[13:35] <qt-x> treu :D
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> Except for my C64
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> :)
[13:35] <qt-x> true
[13:36] <llutz> Dr_Willis: there's also no santa? :(
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> llutz:  someone broke in to my house and put stuff under my tree last night.. and i dont think it was the tooth fairy
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> :)
[13:37] <M3TVF> Anybody managed to get Ham Radio Deluxe running in Ubuntu
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> M3TVF:  is that a windows app? or what exactly?

[14:09] <mazda01> iceroot, this webpage says it can be done.  http://pastebin.com/f39663bb8

[14:11] <soreau> bahman: What aare you ultimately trying to do?
[14:11] <kymara> lilyshu: i believe it's update-java-alternatives
[14:12] <legend2440> lilyshu: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[14:12] <kymara> try update-java-alternatives -l to list the options and check the man page to see how to set them
[14:12] <soreau> bahman: The keyboard settings file is stored somewhere in ~/.gconf most likely
[14:12] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, yes, it says I can run more than once conky if I add the -c flag, which I have.  http://conky.sourceforge.net/faq.html
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  i run more then 1 conky  all the time.  I run each one seperately.

[14:13] <kymara> i hope this is not too 'general' a question - does anyone have experience with ubuntu netbook remix, the 'about' page says it's optimised for retail sales environment which makes me think it may not be actually good as a useable OS .. i use ubuntu normally on my desktop, now want something for my netbook
[14:13] <bahman> in Ubuntu 8.04 the file was there: /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/
[14:14] <lilyshu> kymara, legend2440 merci beaucoup :-)

[14:15] <lmaowaffle> hello guys. I was wondering if I can install ubuntu without a desktop manager (gnome, kde, xfce or other) as I'd like to avoid all the dependencies. Is this allowed via ubuntu installer? also, will those non-installed packages ever be selected during future upgrades for whatever reason? If so, can I mask them?
[14:15] <perlsyntax> that sucks
[14:15] <nlko> hey, how do i make my console look a little more user friendly? when i alt f2 for example, its a bit dull...
[14:15] <mka> Dr_Willis, perlsyntax, I thought as much
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  ifyou are auto starting this at login.. make it sleep fior about 20 sec befor it starts up.
[14:15] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, may i see your conky start script to spawn more than 1?

[14:16] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  make it sleep for 20 sec. If they get started BEFOR gnome is ready they appear BELOW the gnome desktop
[14:16] <lmaowaffle> jmcs: is that similar to base install of debian (standard packages without X or dev tools/libs)?

[14:18] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  there is a better way to make conky 'restart' also - by a signal - i got it in the scgs
[14:18] <bullgard4> The command 'amixer -Dpulse' works on my Ubuntu 9.10 computer. What does the option 'Dpulse' effect? 'man amixer' is dated and does not consider this option.

[14:24] <mka> perlsyntax, from that link: "Unfortunately Ubuntu seem to be trying to dumb everything down to the point where the system becomes unusable. It is a real shame because the main reason I dumped Windows for Linux back in 2004 was because I did not like the way Microsoft dumbed everything down. Now, alas, it would seem many distributions of Linux are going the same way. This is not a good move, for me the freedom to hack is probably Linux’s
[14:24] <mka>  strongest selling point."

[14:28] <mazda01> iceroot, this wont work either. http://pastebin.com/f5fba0841
[14:28] <mbruins> lilyshu: thanks, Kernel driver in use: i915
[14:28] <bullgard4> The command 'amixer -Dpulse' works on my Ubuntu 9.10 computer. What does the option 'Dpulse' effect? 'man amixer' is dated and does not consider this option.
[14:28] <mka> mazda01, put the name of the people you refer to so that you get their attention
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  got a url to your claander config? I got a little mini cal config at my drop.io site
[14:28] <lilyshu> mbruins, you're welcome
[14:29] <adalal> pranay: did it work?
[14:29] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, http://pastebin.com/f628ed96b
[14:29] <mazda01> mka, thanks cause this is my first time on irc
[14:30] <tomcat> ??
[14:30] <mka> klown, what player are you using?
[14:30] <bazhang> WireBot, hi
[14:30] <klown> mka, I have tried rhythm, and banshee
[14:31] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, and here is the conky calander config.  http://pastebin.com/f53302cf4
[14:31] <mka> klown, but music played before and then it stopped all of a sudden?
[14:31] <klown> mka, yes.
[14:32] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  i cant get that script to even print a calander to the console/terminal. or else im using it wrong..
[14:32] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, what's weird is that if i put the calande conky config first in conkylaunch script, it still still doesn't start, only the main conky starts
[14:32] <klown> mka, it stopped by itself, I was in the other room, and heard the music stop.  noone touched anything.
[14:32] <bazhang> !give me a test
[14:32]  * vap0r gives me a kipper
[14:32] <bazhang> vap0r, disable that script
[14:32] <mka> klown, maybe the playlist ended or it encountered a corrupt track
[14:33] <klown> mka, ive been able to select different tracks to play
[14:33] <mka> klown, can you play a track manually by rhythmbox now?
[14:33] <yoyoMamma> Is it possible to replace upstart with classic init ?
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  you dont have the 2 overlapping on the display do you?
[14:34] <klown> mka, yes, i tried, no sound still.
[14:34] <apparle>  I am having a similar problemhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/498863which is similar to this http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7467#c30 So I think I must add my subvendor and subdevice to automatically take the ac97_codec parameter. How to do that?
[14:34] <schalla> Hey all :)
[14:34] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, i am not sure. i copied all of it from web. if you create a conky config like I did of the calander. it puts a calender on my dekstop. here's a pic  http://img51.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotgo.png
[14:34] <adalal> just a question guys, has anyone been able to access keyserver.ubuntu.com?
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  conkyrc3 on that drop.io site is my Uber-simple calander for conky
[14:34] <apparle>  I am having a problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/498863 which is similar to this http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7467#c30 So I think I must add my subvendor and subdevice to automatically take the ac97_codec parameter. How to do that?
[14:35] <mka> klown, double check that the rhythmbox volum is not muted and the ubuntu system volume is not muted either
[14:35] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, no, first conky config is upper right, second is bottom right
[14:35] <klown> mka, ive done both, several times :)
[14:35] <yoyoMamma> Help! Is it possible to replace upstart with classic init ?
[14:35] <mka> klown, reboot
[14:35] <schalla> Your at the thema conky, great.
[14:35] <schalla> I got a quick question
[14:35] <klown> mka, tried that also :P
[14:35] <mka> klown, if the problem persists then come here again
[14:35] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, like I said, if I run each command seperately they both show as it shows in the screen grab, i just can;t figure out how to right a bash script that will start the clander
[14:35] <mka> klown, oh?
[14:35] <schalla> Is the conky config in the /etc/conky folder or in the user folder hidden?
[14:36] <IdleOne> schalla: hidden
[14:36] <mka> mka, how did you select pulseaudio in rhythmbox?
[14:36] <klown> mka, ive rebooted my computer twice, no change.
[14:36] <IdleOne> schalla: you want .conkyrc
[14:36] <pranay> adalal: i got the following :
[14:36] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, i went to that link but it's only the main webpage for that site, i don't see any calander script
[14:36] <pranay>  ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java 1.6.0_17/jre/bin/java /home/pranay/Downloads/eclipse/jre/bin/java ln: target `/home/pranay/Downloads/eclipse/jre/bin/java' is not a directory
[14:36] <schalla> Ah okay idle.
[14:36] <schalla> Then I found it
[14:36] <schalla> just wasnt sure
[14:36] <apparle> adalal: what do you mean access
[14:36] <mazda01> schalla, it's in your home dir, with a .   in front of it..       .conkyrc
[14:37] <adalal> apparle: yeah.. just wont connect, it can ping it.. but can't get any info out of it
[14:37] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, did you look at my screen grab
[14:37] <mka> klown, do you have mplayer?
[14:37] <pranay> adalal: ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java 1.6.0_17/jre/bin/java /home/pranay/Downloads/eclipse/jre/bin/java ln: target `/home/pranay/Downloads/eclipse/jre/bin/java' is not a directory
[14:37] <schalla> Thx I found it. And another question if that would be okay.
[14:37] <schalla> I used a finished conky script, but it just shows my / parti
[14:37] <klown> mka, lemme download it real quick.
[14:37] <schalla> but I got 3 partis and want to show all in the hd overview.
[14:37] <apparle> adalal: I can open it
[14:37] <linuxghost> when i run lsusb it says AR5523 (no firmware). somebody help me installing AR5523 firmware on Ubuntu 9.10. I have TP-Link TL-WN620 USB Wi-Fi
[14:37] <mka> klown, another thing, does your system makes a sound when you are loging in?
[14:37] <adalal> pranay: oh, and maksure the /jre/bin/ directory exists under eclipse and then use this ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java 1.6.0_17/jre/bin/ /home/pranay/Downloads/eclipse/jre/bin/
[14:38] <adalal> apparle: that's annoying, ...
[14:38] <klown> mka, no it did not, either time.
[14:38] <apparle> adalal: are you behind a proxy or something?
[14:38] <legend2440> pranay: why not just install eclipse from Synaptic?
[14:38] <klown> mka, but i did hear some static earlier when I restarted pulse, but thats all ive heard in the past hour.
[14:38] <adalal> apparle: not at all, unless some ports are being blocked somehow else
[14:39] <apparle> adalal: see if you can open this from browser http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371
[14:39] <apparle>  I am having a problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/498863 which is similar to this http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7467#c30 So I think I must add my subvendor and subdevice to automatically take the ac97_codec parameter. How to do that?
[14:39] <linuxghost> kk
[14:40] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  http://drop.io/dr_willis is my own little blog - theres sone downloads for my conky configs.
[14:41] <bullgard4> The command 'amixer -Dpulse' works on my Ubuntu 9.10 computer. What does the option 'Dpulse' effect? 'man amixer' is dated and does not consider this option.
[14:41] <maco> bullgard4: device
[14:41] <Zeonisis> How do I disable the guest account?
[14:41] <vydd> hi all...how do I add a custom keyboard layout?
[14:41] <theyCallMeJohnny> i have a seperate partition which i want to use as smb share; is there a possibility to set the rights to rwx for everyone if a file is copied to this partition?
[14:41] <theyCallMeJohnny> cause now i when i copy a file in the directory i have to chmod a+rwx it first
[14:41] <linuxghost> when i run lsusb it says AR5523 (no firmware). somebody help me installing AR5523 firmware on Ubuntu 9.10. I have TP-Link TL-WN620 USB Wi-Fi
[14:41] <bullgard4> maco: Do you mean a device file?
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> theyCallMeJohnny:  it will depend on how its mounted.. and the options you set for teh share.
[14:42] <maco> bullgard4: it tells what device to manipulate, i think
[14:42] <Zeonisis> How can I disable the guest account?
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> theyCallMeJohnny:  the smb.conf file share defs have options on what default permissions to set for files copied to a share
[14:42] <maco> bullgard4: so could be hw:0 or pulse or various other things
[14:42] <Zeonisis> How can I disable the guest account?
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> ZenBSDi:  why not ask faster.. that will help....
[14:43] <Slart> Zeonisis: the same way you enabled it.. The same way you enabled it
[14:43] <Zeonisis> I didn't :X
[14:43] <Slart> Zeonisis: then it's not enabled.. problem solved
[14:43] <theyCallMeJohnny> Dr_Willis: if i copy it on the same machine to the directory it works too?
[14:43] <mka> klown: try to go to System -> Preferences -> Sound and on the devices change the sound playback under Movies and Music to "ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" and the Default Mixer Tracks to "Alsa Mixer"
[14:43] <adalal> apparle: nope not going through
[14:43] <adalal> are there any keyserver mirrors?
[14:44] <klown> mka, i fixed it, somehow it got switched to a different output.
[14:44] <mka> klown, how?
[14:44] <klown> mka, i have no clue.
[14:44] <peter__> hej
[14:44] <apparle> adalal: I dunno but why don't you try through a proxy website and get the required key
[14:44] <klown> mka, but it was on digital output
[14:44] <Dr_Willis> theyCallMeJohnny:  samba shares are special. they ahve special settings
[14:45] <mka> klown, ok. you made it!
[14:45] <klown> mka, thanks for your help :)
[14:45] <llutz> theyCallMeJohnny: look into your smb-conf, create mask/directory mask
[14:46] <bullgard4> maco: It is rather not for manipulation but for information. But I would like to know what device it informs about. How can I find that out?
[14:46] <schalla> Dudes I got a question with conky and the HD. Well, it just shows my Root Partition. Could the problem be that the other 2s are NFTS?
[14:46] <maco> bullgard4: i dont know
[14:47] <bullgard4> maco: Thank you for commenting.
[14:47] <adalal> apparle: i suppose i'll jus try manually keeping 11371 open for now
[14:47] <ditto> Hi
[14:47] <Dr_Willis> schalla:  you have to configure teh conky configs/gizmos to the proper paths for the opther drives
[14:47] <ditto> Was bringen dieses Kürbiskopt Auszeichnungen, wofür gibts die, wie bekommt man die?=
[14:47] <apparle> adalal: which key are you trying to get
[14:47] <bazhang> !de | ditto
[14:48] <adalal> apparle: amsn-daily
[14:48] <Dr_Willis> schalla:  or use a little 'df -h' output type thing in a conky config. Like i got at http://drop.io/dr_willis
[14:48] <vydd> how do I add my custom kbd layout?
[14:49] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, super weird. if my bash conky start script looks like this: http://pastebin.com/f73b99673
[14:49] <mazda01>      it still doersn't start the calander but starts the default .conkyrc file.   WHAT THE HECK!!!
[14:49] <adalal> apparle: it's nothing to do with my firewall apparently
[14:49] <ubuntunewbie> hi anyone know about firefox 3.5 ? where does it keep its' Cookies ?
[14:49] <Slart> bullgard4: just fyi.. that command doesn't work on my 9.10 system.. it might specific to your setup.. or something you installed
[14:50] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  double check spelling/paths i guess..
[14:50] <schalla> Dr_Willis: I found the problem, that was realy silly from me^
[14:50] <linuxghost> How to install AR5523 firmware?
[14:50] <RFXCasey> I have an old machine with a geforce 4 mx and want to know which version of ubuntu or what driver will give the best video performance or directly support that card in general?
[14:50] <TopGear> hello
[14:51] <Slart> ubuntunewbie: I'm guessing in ~/.mozilla/firefox/<some weird profile number>/cookies.sqlite  but I'm not sure
[14:51] <TopGear> I've got some problems
[14:51] <TopGear> with ttf-mscorefonts-installer
[14:51] <Slart> RFXCasey: I would try xubuntu for a weaker system
[14:51] <schalla> Dr_Willis: The problem was just that he didn't mounted them automatical
[14:51] <Dr_Willis> RFXCasey:  that old a card - its proberly not going to matter much.   the rest of the system specs will proberly be the bottleneck
[14:52] <schalla> How can I say that he should mount harddrives automatical?
[14:52] <schalla> there's a way for that?
[14:52] <Slart> RFXCasey: try 9.10, if that doesn't work.. try with the latest LTS.. !lts for more info on that
[14:52] <adalal> apparle: i'm calling virgin media...
[14:52] <Dr_Willis> schalla:  adda  proper fstab entry for ntfs drives to get them mounted at boot time
[14:52] <bullgard4> Slart: Yes, I installed an additional file according to the recommendation in http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup.
[14:52] <RFXCasey> but will that have a direct driver for that card cause with karmic the video performance is way way worse then windows
[14:52] <ubuntunewbie> Slart: thanks , I was hoping to backup cookies and transfer it to other computer
[14:52] <ubuntunewbie> is it possible ?
[14:53] <Dr_Willis> RFXCasey:   the old nvidia drivers for that card proberly havent changed in the last few releases. So i doubt if its going tobe noticeable.
[14:53] <TopGear> I want to install programs, but i can't couse of ttf-mscorefonts-installer
[14:53] <schalla> Dr_Willis: Sorry, I am a bit new in this area, where I can do this?
[14:53] <Slart> ubuntunewbie: I have no idea.. I've never really bothered about backing the cookies up.. bookmarks, yes.. but not cookies
[14:53] <RFXCasey> I had just read that the newer versions of Ubuntu don't support some of the old cards except with a generic driver
[14:53] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs-3g | schalla
[14:53] <TopGear> can somebody help me?
[14:54] <ubuntunewbie> Slart: hm... hope to do that
[14:54] <ubuntunewbie> Slart: now google to find out
[14:54] <Slart> bullgard4: ah.. so you've added an alsa device called "pulse".. I think
[14:54] <Dr_Willis> RFXCasey:   it depends on the exact card and exact driver.. Im not sure if that applies to nvidia cards..  since there are the nvidia-legacy drivers in the repos.. it CAN apply to ati cards
[14:54] <schalla> Dr_Willis: I can mount them with no problem, my problem is just how to mount them at start automatical
[14:54] <schalla> You know? :P
[14:54] <RFXCasey> Slart ok thanks
[14:55] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, if i run conky -c /home/daniel/.conky_calander  from a command line terminal, the calander comes up and here;s the ouput.  http://pastebin.com/f242a63c0    but if i run sh .conkylaunch from the terminal it actually works, they both come up. http://pastebin.com/f4f701383
[14:55] <mazda01>    but if I run .conkylaunch from the run prompt, the calander never comes up. WOW  weird
[14:55] <Dr_Willis> schalla:  edit the /etc/fstab and put a proper entry for them in there.
[14:55] <schalla> Oh okay, thanks :)
[14:55] <RFXCasey> bye bye
[14:55] <grawity> mazda01: Is '.conkylaunch' executable?
[14:56] <TopGear> nobody who can help me?
[14:56] <legend2440> TopGear: you were installing   ttf-mscorefonts-installer  and something went wrong. so now you cant install anything?  is that the problem?
[14:56] <TopGear> I can install them
[14:56] <TopGear> but on 50%, I get a error
[14:56] <Slart> TopGear: you might want to explain your problem a bit more
[14:56] <TopGear> well
[14:56] <TopGear> I did a fresh install of ubuntu keramic 9.10
[14:56] <legend2440> TopGear: what is the error message?
[14:57] <TopGear> it's diffrent
[14:57] <Rob213> hi
[14:57] <Slart> TopGear: including examples of what it looks like always help.. there's a pastebin and an imagebin available for screenshots
[14:57] <TopGear> yes
[14:57] <Slart> !pastebin | TopGear
[14:57] <mazda01> grawity, yes.
[14:57] <TopGear> but I'm using a dutch ubuntu
[14:57] <TopGear> hmm, I installed Audacious2 with no problems
[14:57] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, weird, sh .conkylaunch works from a command prompt but not from gnome run box
[14:58] <Slart> TopGear: it's usually not a problem..
[14:58] <TopGear> but what does that error mean
[14:58] <bullgard4> Slart: I installed a 'type' pulse. But I' like to get 'Dpulse' explained.
[14:58] <bazhang> TopGear, the servers are timing out.
[14:59] <bullgard4> s/I'/I'd/
[14:59] <TopGear> ok
[14:59] <bazhang> TopGear, this is a fresh install, or at least the ubuntu-restricted-extras package is presumably
[14:59] <TopGear> i installed restricted
[14:59] <mazda01> grawity, apparently you can;t run a script that runs more than 1 command from the run prompt.
[14:59] <mazda01> Dr_Willis,  apparently you can;t run a script that runs more than 1 command from the run prompt.
[14:59] <grawity> mazda01: the 'run' prompt does not care at all; it just executes what it's told to.
[14:59] <Rob213> Hi, I've got a problem.
[14:59] <bazhang> TopGear, same exact issue here, eventually after several tries the servers finished installing them

I could for example add a soundcard and create a device for it called "livingroom" since I have the speakers connected to that soundcard in the living room.. so I have the devices "default" and "livingroom".. if I want to change the volumes of the living room sound card I would do "amixer -Dlivingroom".. if I wan

[15:10] <EagleScreen> yes caseyw1, but I think you have to do a real Ubuntu installation
[15:10] <snake> grawity im confused about "~/.bashrc"
[15:10] <warddr> caseyw1, if you installed using wine you'll have to reinstall if you want to remove windows
[15:10] <grawity> caseyw1: depends on how did you install Ubuntu - Wubi or "real" dual-boot.
[15:10] <warddr> *using wubi, caseyw1
[15:10] <bullgard4> Slart: Is the first letter 'D' of '-Dpulse' of special meaning?
[15:11] <Zorael> Does anyone know of any app that can generate tabbing hierarchy in source files? I have an XML file that had its hierarchy flattened and would like to reconstruct it.
[15:11] <evergren> I have a problem….I have deskjet 670c, old printing: till ubuntu 9,04, in the press c' it was the possibility to print also pages from lucid paper, now with ubuntu 9,10 cè only prints to color or white man gray, without lucid paper; how never? puo to return themselves or to add still such possibility?
[15:11] <grawity> snake: When a path starts with ~/ it means your home directory, or "homedir". If your Ubuntu username is "snake", then your homedir probably is at /home/snake/
[15:11] <mazda01> grawity, any thoughts. very weird. what does the run prompt run the .conkylaunch command with? Also, what's the difference from running bash script with the sh thing or without it because if I run sh .conkylaunch from termminal, it does what I want. if I run .conkylaunch  (without the sh), it doesn't do what I want.
[15:11] <lstarnes> bullgard4: maybe "device"
[15:11] <ActionParsnip1> Zorael: email the coder to tell him/her their layout stinks ;)
[15:12] <IdleOne> caseyw1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How do I migrate to a real partition, and/or get rid of Windows entirely?
[15:12] <ActionParsnip1> evergren: install the latest HPLIP
[15:12] <mazda01> grawity, is it my terminal setting somewhere that tell it to run command with a certain interpretor or something liek that
[15:13] <caseyw1> Thanks for all the responses. What I did was, when I was in windows a window popped up and said I could install from within windows, and so I did. I think that's the wubi.
[15:13] <Slart> bullgard4: I think it's simply short for "Device"
[15:13] <theyCallMeJohnny> Dr_Willis: hm it doesnt work, heres my smb.conf, i restartet the samba server too http://paste.pocoo.org/show/159749/
[15:13] <Soslas> anyone?
[15:13] <Soslas> hey my samba share(windows-ubuntu) works for a while and then says, connection time out.. any ideas?
[15:13] <linuxghost> http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523
[15:13] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: try changing the socket option to tcp_nodelay (should be in the file already, just uncomment it)
[15:13] <grawity> mazda01: When you type "./.conkylaunch", the shell takes "./.conkylaunch" as the command, and tells Linux to start it. Its contents start with #!/bin/bash, so Linux runs 'bash' and tells to execute that script.
[15:14] <Bohemian> what's the best address book and mail client for windows?
[15:14] <theyCallMeJohnny> Dr_Willis: when i create a file or directory its still read only
[15:14] <snake> grawity: thanks
[15:14] <bullgard4> lstarnes: I would like to know what programs process an option (or name) 'Dpulse' other or differently than an option (or name) 'Fpulse', for example.
[15:14] <Slart> bullgard4: sometimes they want   blabla --device=something .. other times they want   blabla -D=something  or blabla -D something  . in this case they want  blabla -Dsomething
[15:14] <grawity> Bohemian: Thunderbird. (Outlook 2007 is good too)
[15:14] <Bohemian> thunderbird does address book too?
[15:14] <warddr> caseyw1, yes; that is wubi
[15:14] <Slart> bullgard4: afaik it's just a choice whoever write amixer did
[15:14] <grawity> mazda01: When you type "sh .conkylaunch", the shell takes "sh" as the command, and Linux runs 'sh' -- which is _not_ the same as 'bash'.
[15:14] <Slart> *wrote
[15:14] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: there is no best app for anything
[15:15] <ActionParsnip1> !windows | Bohemian
[15:15] <Bohemian> grawity: thanks! would you recommend any other apps for a 60+ year old to have fun using a computer?
[15:15] <mazda01> grawity, ok, i think sh stands for shell but which shell does it use to run the command?
[15:15] <evergren> ActionParsnip1, install the latest HPLIP you know I can find where it?
[15:15] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 in  /etc/samba/smb.conf?
[15:15] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: yes
[15:15] <dinosaurvskitten> I have this pdf of a scan of a book that has very grainy fonts, to the point where it's hardly possible to read it. However, I'm able to select text and search the document just fine in evince, so the actual text must be somehow embedded in the pdf file. Is there a way to make evince overlay the grainy fonts with something more readable? (or maybe another pdf reader that could do the job?)
[15:15] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[15:15] <ActionParsnip1> evergren: websearch it
[15:16] <mazda01> grawity, so you're saying that bash is not the default shell for running command otherwise .conkylaunch would work just like ./.conkylaunch right? im confussed why this isn't working
[15:16] <Bohemian> can someone show me a screen shot of their ubuntu machine running flux or gnome?
[15:16] <caseyw1> Thanks IdleOne
[15:16] <grawity> mazda01: 'sh' doesn't just stand for any shell; it is the "Bourne Shell", a very basic one.
[15:16] <ActionParsnip1> evergren: you will get a script to run from the good people at HP (who make Linux drivers :))
[15:16] <IdleOne> caseyw1: welcome
[15:16] <bullgard4> Slart: Do you mean that the author of the amixer command gave a special meaning to the first letter D in a amixer option name?
[15:16] <linuxghost> somebody help me how to patch http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523 here: patch < debian/patches/kcompat-2.6.2*
[15:16] <linuxghost> somebody help me how to patch http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523 here: patch < debian/patches/kcompat-2.6.2*  on ubuntu 9.10 not debian
[15:16] <grawity> mazda01: 'bash' is "Bourne Again Shell", a very improved one. You start 'bash' every time when you open a terminal.
[15:17] <linuxghost> ghost@ghost-laptop:~/ar5523$ patch < debian/patches/kcompat-2.6.2*

[15:17] <blackshell> is there a channle for pidgin?
[15:17] <ActionParsnip1> blackshell: sure
[15:17] <blackshell> whatst it?
[15:17] <grawity> blackshell: #pidgin on this network (Freenode)
[15:17] <dinosaurvskitten> blackshell, er, #pidgin
[15:17] <Slart> bullgard4: no.. ok.. lets do this from the beginning.. the device name is "pulse".. not "Dpulse" or anything like that
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  if you use bash shell features. start scripts with #!/bin/bash to be specific :)
[15:18] <xiven> Hey all. Have a little issue. I have Karmic installed on a laptop inside virtualbox. But, it only sees one screen, when it should see an LCD, and an External Monitor.
[15:18] <ActionParsnip1> blackshell: its a multiprotocol chat client
[15:18] <adalal> right
[15:18] <grawity> ActionParsnip1: he's  asking about the channel, not Pidgin in general
   http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html  ???????????
[15:18] <ai9371> im trying to set up web server
[15:18] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: i'd ask in #vbox
[15:18] <ai9371> and Xampp isnt working
[15:18] <adalal> anyone knows why i would not be able to get keys of the ubuntu keyservers but other computer in the same network can?
[15:18] <queso> If I was in the middle of copying like 50GBs using rsync, and it stopped in the middle unexpectedly, will it continue where it left off the next time I run the command if I specificy the same directories?  Or should I start from scratch?
[15:18] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, grawity, my script does start with bash doesn't it? #!/bin/bash
[15:19] <Slart> bullgard4: the -D part is just a parameter.. or switch
[15:19] <grawity> mazda01: Yes. But when you type 'sh conkylaunch' that line is ignored
[15:19] <Slart> bullgard4: all these switches or parameters are listed in the man page
[15:19] <ActionParsnip1> evergren: yes that, download it, set it as executable using chmod +x  then run it as a user, you will be asked for your sudo pass later
[15:19] <grawity> mazda01: So try changing to #!/bin/sh, maybe it'll start working.
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  so that shouldent be an issue then.  use 'bash whateverlauinch' or dont use 'sh'  to launch it.
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  try 'bash whatever.sh'
[15:19] <bullgard4> Slart: Ah, ok. One can concatenate '-D' and 'pulse'.
[15:19] <linuxghost> how to locate file adress in terminal?
[15:19] <Slart> bullgard4: yes
[15:19] <grawity> queso: rsync is actually designed to be resumeable
[15:19] <mazda01> grawity, how come the command works when I run either "./" or "sh" before my command ".conkylaunch" but not when I run merely ".conkylaunch" by itself if the script tells it to use bash?
[15:19] <bullgard4> Slart: Thank you.
[15:19] <ActionParsnip1> queso: it will recompare the files and see some are still old and copy them over so yes
[15:20] <ste> darksin.net
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  sh by default  is a link to 'dash' not 'bash'
[15:20] <Slart> bullgard4: you're welcome
[15:20] <grawity> mazda01: ah, I thought you always use at least the ./ part?
[15:20] <ActionParsnip1> linuxghost: address? don't you mean location?
[15:20] <mazda01> grawity, no
[15:20] <adalal> anyone knows why one computer in a network wouldn't be able to connect to keyserver.ubuntu.com while other cmputers in the network can?
[15:20] <queso> grawity, ActionParsnip1: Okay, I thought that was the case given the name, but wanted to be sure. Awesome, thank you :)
[15:20] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, so it's because dash doesn't know what to do with the command but bash does?
[15:20] <Bohemian> does ubuntu have hardened sources? or an encrypted file system?
[15:21] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, how do I change a terminal from using dash to bash?
[15:21] <adalal> Bohemian: you can have an encrypted home folder
[15:21] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: can it ping it and nslookup it, can it ping it?
[15:21] <adalal> ActionParsnip1: yup
[15:21] <snake> grawity: so how do I add to the ~/.bashrc ?
[15:21] <Hetman> hello got problem :  nm_vpn_connection_connect_cb(): VPN connection 'vpnuk' failed to connect: 'No VPN secrets!'._
[15:21] <Hetman> system updated, any ideas how to fix that ?
[15:21] <adalal> ActionParsnip1: how would i perform an nslookup?
[15:21] <Bohemian> adalal: do i do that at startup? or do i have to install that later?
[15:21] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: can you traceroute to it?
[15:21] <grawity> snake: 1) Open a text editor. 2) Open the file ~/.bashrc in it. 3) Scroll down to the bottom. 4) Figure out the rest yourself.
[15:21] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: nslookup keyserver.whatever.fish
[15:22] <Rob215> I've got a problem
[15:22] <snake> okay...
[15:22] <mazda01> grawity,  well, the bottom line is that i am going to want to add the bash script ".conkylaunch" to my startup list of programs that get run when I start the computer. so i am hoping that I can merely put ".conkylaunch" in that list and it will start botht the calander and the main conky.
[15:22] <grawity> mazda01: it's a different thing then... When you don't specify any path at all, just run "conkylaunch", Linux searches all directories in $PATH. And when you specify "./", Linux only checks . (current directory)...
[15:22] <Rob215> details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/347046/
[15:22] <adalal> Bohemian: that is typically installed while installing ubuntu, although im sure they're guides out there to help you out on google
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  dash is used by system scripts and when you call somthing using 'sh' expilicty. normal user shell is bash,
[15:22] <Slart> Bohemian: yes.. I think you can encrypt it all (well.. apart from the boot partition) or just parts ..
[15:22] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: just replace the command in your ping with nslookup, make sure it resolves to the same IP on a system which is ok
[15:22] <Slart> !encryption
[15:22] <Bohemian> in the installer?
[15:22] <Rob215> Help please
[15:22] <adalal> ActionParsnip1: on it
[15:22] <ActionParsnip1> Rob215: ask away
[15:22] <Slart> Bohemian: try the alternate installer
[15:22] <bullgard4> Slart: May I ask you this? Where can I find a component diagram showing the relationship of PulseAudio and ALSA? I found no hit googling. The diagram in http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/PulseAudio did not enlighten me.
[15:22] <Slart> !alternate | Bohemian
[15:23] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: you can also install traceroute on a good system and the bad system to see where they differ
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  you may want to put your scripts and configs on some pastebin, or drop.io site and see if others can replicate teh issue. Could be somthing really trival you are doing wrong,
[15:23] <Rob215> Here is the problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/347046/
[15:23] <adalal> ActionParsnip1: yup.. came back.. will try tracerouting it
[15:24] <Slart> bullgard4: I don't know of any better descriptions.. pulseaudio is a layer above alsa.. pulseaudio doesn't handle the sound hardware itself.. think of it as a DJ.. where alsa is the turntable, mixer etc
[15:24] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: you can also use an alternative keyserver like: pgp.mit.edu
[15:24] <Bohemian> Slart: thanks. last question: what arch do i pick for a pre 2002 computer? x86?
[15:24] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: they all sync with each other so its the same data
[15:24] <lstarnes> bullgard4: pulseaudio uses alsa for the actual sound output
[15:24] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: 32bit
[15:24] <adalal> ActionParsnip1: oh okay :)
[15:24] <lstarnes> Bohemian: 32-bit x86
[15:25] <Bohemian> and a 64bit machine uses what?
[15:25] <Slart> Bohemian: I think ubuntu only comes in 32bit and 64bit.. I'd go with 32bit
[15:25] <Bohemian> 64bit x86?
[15:25] <sunil> i'm unable to install ubuntu on my pc
[15:25] <Bohemian> i haven't looked, soryr. i'm using debian for most of my machines
[15:25] <blackshell> sunil;why?
[15:25] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: the 64bit ISOs, or the 32bit TOO (most 64bit CPUs can run a 32bit OS)
[15:25] <Slart> Bohemian: I'm not sure which arch it's compiled for.. i386 perhaps? i686?.. I'm not sure
[15:25] <lstarnes> Bohemian: 64-bit x86, amd64, or x86-64
[15:25] <Bohemian> great. so how do i kno which to pick lstarnes ?
[15:26] <lstarnes> Bohemian: it depends on what your processor supports
[15:26] <linuxghost> yes location
[15:26] <Rob215> Sorry but anyone wants to help me, http://paste.ubuntu.com/347046/
[15:26] <adalal> ActionParsnip1: traceroute in both the bad and the good one stops at a canonical server
[15:26] <sunil> my pc in not supporting ubuntu to install
[15:26] <lstarnes> Bohemian: amd64, x86-64, and 64-bit x86 are all the same thing
[15:26] <grawity> 32-bit is the "i686" one, for 64-bit get "amd64" (even for Intel; it's an old name for x86-64)
[15:26] <linuxghost> ActionParsnip1: location
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  give the channel details about what it is and is not doing.
[15:26] <Bohemian> it just says intel pentium
[15:27] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1:  should i uncomment just the   socket options = TCP_NODELAY? or the previous line too? SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
[15:27] <andyl> hello
[15:27] <ActionParsnip1> linuxghost: sudo find / -iname "file"     replace file with what you want to find. E.g.     sudo find / -iname "firefox"
[15:27] <andyl> is there any problem in doing linux development in a linux virtual machine instead of on the bare system
[15:27] <lstarnes> Bohemian: pentium IV/pentium 4?
[15:27] <ActionParsnip1> linuxghost: locate will only work if you update the db first
[15:27] <Bohemian> i'm not sure, hwo do i check/
[15:27] <sunil> channel details???
[15:27] <Bohemian> it's windows currently
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  yes tell the Channel *us*  the details of the problem
[15:27] <carrera> Greetings!
[15:27] <Rob215> Sorry but anyone wants to help me please? Question at http://paste.ubuntu.com/347046/
[15:28] <Slart> andyl: I think the virtual systems have some slightly special hardware
[15:28] <snake> okay I think i figured it out thanks though.
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> Rob215:  please at least summarize the core of the problem. People normally dont go to a URl just to read a problem
[15:28] <Soslas> ?
[15:28] <sunil> sorry i didn't get u???
[15:28] <evergren> ActionParsnip1 ,  unloaded hplip-3.9.12.run on the Writing desk
[15:28] <Slart> andyl: but for general stuff I don't think it will be a problem.. you might want to be prepared for a bit more diversity when it has to run on real systems
[15:28] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: you will be playing with that line til you get something nice, try both. You must run: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart     to reload the new settings
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  just state the actual problem in detail
[15:29] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: right click the my computer icon -> properties    it will tell you the cpu
[15:29] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 so uncomment both lines?
[15:29] <sunil> due to many 9.04 versons
[15:29] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: no, you want only one or none
[15:29] <sunil> my pc is unable to catch new installation
[15:29] <Bohemian> thank you ActionParsnip1
[15:29] <OpenSorce> This is truly irritating, I've disabled ipv6 (actually removed the module) but I still get serious browser lag. Like 12 seconds after entering an address before there is modem activity...
[15:29] <carrera> can anyone help me with installing 9.10 on a RAID-0 system. It does NOT boot!
[15:29] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: you can copy the buffer options to one single line to get both options enabled
[15:29] <Rob215> The problem is the Places/Nautilus problem and starting it doesn't work! Command line respond at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/347046/
[15:29] <Bohemian> and ActionParsnip1 i am not sure why i said i was looking for the best app for windows before. i am extremely tired, i apologize
[15:30] <ActionParsnip1> carrera: what doesn't boot?
[15:30] <carrera> Hi ActionParsnip1, my installation
[15:30] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 : there is also   include = /home/samba/etc/smb.conf. %m
[15:30] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: its cool, its a frequent question but it simply doesnt exist.
[15:30] <Soslas> what about that
[15:30] <Rob215> The problem is the Places/Nautilus problem and starting it doesn't work! Command line respond at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/347046/ Anyone?
[15:30] <ActionParsnip1> carrera: so the install went ok but the installed system is bad?
[15:30] <carrera> I read there were problems with GRUB
[15:31] <carrera> right
[15:31] <Bohemian> ActionParsnip1: yeah, i meant the most common, not best, address book and mail client for LINUX. i'll go with thunderbird because she recognizes it from work. i didn't realize thunderbird had an address book as well
[15:31] <lstarnes> Rob215: considering how uncommon that problem is, it will likely take a while for any of us to find a possible solution
[15:31] <ActionParsnip1> carrera: no idea, i dont use raid, if I did I'd get a proper raid card
[15:31] <sunil> how to remove all ready existing 9.04 versions
[15:31] <Rob215> OK
[15:31] <lstarnes> sunil: remove or format any partitions that you installed 9.04 to
[15:32] <bullgard4> Slart, lstarnes: What you say seems to be described by the sentence: "PulseAudio is a sound server for POSIX and WIN32 systems." But I have read that ALSA has sound server functionality too. How to reconcile these 2 statements?
[15:32] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: most common doesnt mean anything either, most use windows but a lot of people think its garbage, instead of asking, try a few and see which you like
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  you can start the installer for the new versions and tell them to format/repartition/delete the old filesystems
[15:32] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 : there is also   include = /home/samba/etc/smb.conf. %m
[15:32] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: where?
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  or use some partioning tool and delete them befor starting the installer.
[15:32] <Bohemian> ActionParsnip1: well, can you name a few for linux besides thunderbird?
[15:32] <lstarnes> bullgard4: alsa isn't a separate server
[15:32] <Soslas> in smb.conf
[15:32] <Soslas> should i do anything with that
[15:32] <Bohemian> i use all command line apps on my *nix boxes
[15:32] <Slart> bullgard4: that's true.. some of the features of alsa and pulseaudio overlaps..
[15:32] <lstarnes> bullgard4: it is a component of the linux kernel
[15:32] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: for windows?
[15:32] <lstarnes> bullgard4: pulseaudio, however, runs as a separate process
[15:32] <administrator> AAA
[15:32] <Guest32063> HELP
[15:33] <sunil> if i do so my xp os wil also gone na
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> Guest32063:  state the actual problem.
[15:33] <grawity> Guest32063: Welcome to #ubuntu. How may we helpyou?
[15:33] <Slart> bullgard4: pulseaudio can do network streaming, individual volume control amongst other things.. I don't think alsa does that
[15:33] <andyl> Slart:ok
[15:33] <lstarnes> bullgard4: it handles higher-level functionality, such as advanced mixing and networked sound
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  you need to be carefull what partitions you delete.. Unless you used a WUBI type install.
[15:33] <bullgard4> lstarnes, Slart Thank you very much for explaining.

[15:33] <Guest32063> HELLO

[15:34] <lstarnes> bullgard4: but for actually playing the sound on the system's sound hardware, it must interface with the operating system's sound drivers, like linux's ALSA
[15:34] <ActionParsnip1> Guest32063: do you have an Ubuntu question?
[15:35] <Guest32063> english
[15:35] <lstarnes> that is english
[15:35] <Guest32063> no english
[15:35] <Paddy_NI> What is the name of the splash screen straight after grub2 on karmic?
[15:35] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  You should proberly go read up on how drive partitions are laid out and how to delete/change them. look for gparted tutorials, . Or  rerun the ubuntu installer and carefully tell it to delet  the linux partitions and not the windows ones.
[15:35] <ActionParsnip1> Paddy_NI: xsplash
[15:35] <Guest32063> viet nam mese
[15:35] <lstarnes> Paddy_NI: possibly usplash
[15:35] <lstarnes> !vietnam | Guest32063
[15:35] <Guest32063> ok
[15:35] <thiebaude> !vt
[15:35] <Paddy_NI> ActionParsnip1, no xsplash is the one after the first
[15:35] <Paddy_NI> lstarnes, hm probably usplash
[15:36] <Guest32063> i'm vietnam
[15:36] <Rob215> The problem is the Places/Nautilus problem and starting it doesn't work! Command line respond at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/347046/ Anyone? A thread on the Ubuntu forum is on: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1359044
[15:36] <Guest32063> no understand
[15:36] <petsounds> !vn
[15:36] <om26er> ActionParsnip1, will lucid also use xsplash?
[15:36] <ActionParsnip1> Paddy_NI: soundslike usplash from what folks are saying, i always remove spash stuff, its worthless
[15:36] <ActionParsnip1> om26er: it does, but I removed it as always
[15:36] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, ok, here is the weird part. i logged out. the command in the start apps screen is this  /home/daniel/.conkylaunch   and both conky's start but when I was entering that same command in a terminal window, the calander would NOT start. WEIRD!
[15:36] <Dr_Willis> Rob215:  see if it works for a newly made user?
[15:36] <mazda01> grawity,  ok, here is the weird part. i logged out. the command in the start apps screen is this  /home/daniel/.conkylaunch   and both conky's start but when I was entering that same command in a terminal window, the calander would NOT start. WEIRD!
[15:36] <wolfieman> quit
[15:36] <lstarnes> Rob215: it appears to reference something about gconf
[15:36] <ActionParsnip1> om26er: runs nice here, I'd ask in +1 for definitive answer
[15:37] <lstarnes> Rob215: you might need to remove or rename your ~/.gconf temporarily
[15:37] <om26er> ActionParsnip1, ok
[15:37] <sunil> i did in that manner only but not supporting this option
[15:37] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:   I keep my 'startup' scripts in /home/username/bin   with nice clear names. :)   it could be some path issue.
[15:37] <Rob215> Sorry, but i'm under Win 2000 now, but i'll reboot
[15:38] <Paddy_NI> lstarnes, nope it aint usplash as karmic does not use it
[15:38] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  the partioning part iof the installer has a custome option that lets you do most anything. it will let you delete your windows system if you are not carfull.  assign / to the location of the old install and tell it to reformat. is one way to do it
[15:38] <carrera> can anyone tell me why 9.10 doesn't boot on my RAID-0 system?
[15:38] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 : the same thing. Worked for a while (i transfered data) then the connection was lost
[15:38] <lstarnes> Paddy_NI: what about xsplash?
[15:38] <Soslas> and didnt find workgroup
[15:38] <Rob215> So, FreeNode with topic ubuntu. Correct?
[15:38] <gillis-_> hmm hey guys... I'm trying to compile kaffeine from source (to get al older version than in the repo) however it says there are no kde libs
[15:38] <gillis-_> even though i think there is
[15:38] <gillis-_> ?here should i tell it htey are?
[15:39] <lstarnes> Rob215: #ubuntu on chat.freenode.net
[15:39] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, it can't be a path issue. i seems like it has something to do with dash not being able to run the command right.
[15:39] <mtd_1967> Good morning
[15:39] <gillis-_> where should i tell it they are
[15:39] <Rob215> OK, you said Rob215: you might need to remove or rename your ~/.gconf temporarily. Where is it?
[15:39] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  i dont even see how dash enters into it. Unless you are calling /bin/sh or  sh whatever.sh   explicity.
[15:39] <lstarnes> Rob215: ~/.gconf
[15:39] <Paddy_NI> lstarnes, its the splash screen with the white ubuntu logo
[15:39] <Paddy_NI> I installed xubuntu desktop and now I have a mouse or rat there instead :/
[15:39] <Slart> carrera: you might want to include a little more detail in your question.. error messages, pastebin logs, what you've installed and so on
[15:39] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: if you ping the client system from the server using the -f option does it timeout
[15:39] <lstarnes> Rob215: ~/ is automatically expanded to equal /home/USERNAME/
[15:40] <mtd_1967> Is anybody here familiar with video card issues that can assist me?
[15:40] <adalal> good afternoon to you!
[15:40] <ActionParsnip1> mtd_1967: what video card?
[15:40] <Dr_Willis> mtd_1967:  clarify the problem more...
[15:40] <ubuntunewbie> anyone know how what application I need to manage "SQlite" ?
[15:40] <Slart> mtd_1967: just describe your issue
[15:40] <Rob215> Disk/home/Username. Correct?
[15:40] <Dr_Willis> !sql
[15:40] <Slart> !info sqlite | ubuntunewbie
[15:40] <lstarnes> Rob215: just /home/username
[15:40] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 any ideas?
[15:40] <mtd_1967> I have 2 machines that I put ubuntu on as a second OS
[15:40] <Slart> ubuntunewbie: google does wonder for questions like that =)
[15:40] <Slart> *wonders
[15:40] <lstarnes> !info sqlite3 | ubuntunewbie
[15:40] <ubuntunewbie> Slart : thanks
[15:40] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: if you ping the client system from the server using the -f option does it timeout
[15:41] <sunil> i tried in that manner but it is prompting full disk
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> theres proberly 10+ programs to interface with sqlite. :)
[15:41] <ubuntunewbie> Slart : but I am not good in commandline
[15:41] <Rob215> Bye
[15:41] <swirv> join #xubuntu
[15:41] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, well, why does the command work  run from the "run prompt" when entered sh .conkylaunch but not merely .conkylaunch then?
[15:41] <lstarnes> ubuntunewbie: the sqlite and sqlite3 packages provide the default CLI interfaces for sqlite 2 and sqlite 3
[15:41] <mtd_1967> 1 has an ati radeon 9200, thats the desktop and the netbook has a radeon x1200
[15:41] <nod32> hi BillGates
[15:41] <ActionParsnip1> !ati | mtd_1967
[15:41] <adalal> hello
[15:41] <adalal> lol
[15:41] <ActionParsnip1> nod32: that nick isnt in here
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  no idea. theres no point in using 'sh whtever' if the thing is executable.   could be bacuse the runprompt is allready using bash to laucnh the command in the first place
[15:42] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 : i push data from ubuntu to windows. So what exactly do you want me to do
[15:42] <ai9371> can someone please help me with settin gup WEB SERvER!
[15:42] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  did you 'boot the cd' and install linux? or did you install linux from within windows?
[15:42] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, it can't be a path problem if both commands run fine seperately but when combined (copied and pasted) don't run from the run prompt when I use my bash script  #!/bin/bash
[15:42] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: ping from the server to the client system using -f option
[15:42] <AnAnt> hello, I installed a package (using apt-get install) but I want to mark that package as a package that was installed to satisfy dependency, can I do that ?
[15:42] <ai9371> phpmyadmin isnt working
[15:43] <ai9371> i set up apache
[15:43] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 the server is ubuntu in this case? and how do i ping it ( i am a noob)
[15:43] <sunil> i kept my cd in cd-reader & i restarted my pc
[15:43] <lstarnes> ai9371: how are you accessing it?
[15:43] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  right now this has gone on for so long. i can barely rember what the original problem even is/was./
[15:43] <ai9371> localhost/phpmyadmin
[15:43] <lstarnes> ubuntunewbie: try sqlitebrowser
[15:43] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, well, the run prompt works when run "./.conkylaunch" and "sh .conkylaunch" but NOT when just run ".conkylaunch"
[15:43] <lstarnes> ai9371: with the / at the end?
[15:43] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: ping xphostname -f
[15:43] <ubuntunewbie> lstarnes: thanks
[15:43] <TriMe__> ai9371, did u restart apache?
[15:43] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, getting to conky's to run from a bash script
[15:43] <ai9371> i put a / at the end that idnt work
[15:43] <ai9371> restart apache how do I do that?
[15:44] <ubuntunewbie> lstarnes: actually I wanted to backup cookies from firefox , and the cookies is in .sqlite format .
[15:44] <ActionParsnip1> AnAnt: whether the package was installed to satisfy a dep or not is not important
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  try copying the things to  bin/conkylaunch   and get away from the .XXX type name. to eliminate any possible issues
[15:44] <mtd_1967> ubottu, thank you.  i will boot up the netbook and walk through the steps now...are these written for idiots?  I hope so.
[15:44] <TriMe> sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[15:44] <ubuntunewbie> lstarnes: I wanted to retain username and password stored at the cookies on firefox and transfer it to other pc
[15:44] <lstarnes> ai9371: sudo service apache2 restart (or sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart)
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  i cant replicate the problem. so its hard to trouble shoot.
[15:44] <lstarnes> ubuntunewbie: you could just copy the .sqlite file
[15:45] <w1cked> are there Intel GMA 500 drivers already released for Ubuntu?
[15:45] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, i'll upload all files if you'd like to try to replicate. OR NOT?
[15:45] <nastas> hi all
[15:46] <ubuntunewbie> lstarnes: doesn't work , I just tried copying the .sqlite from firefox to other pc firefox.It doesn't keep the username password login forum
[15:46] <TriMe> ai9371, sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[15:46] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  you may want to puit them somwheere. then post a msg on the conky forums.
[15:46] <TriMe> ai9371, then browse to http://localhost/phphmyadmin
[15:46] <lstarnes> ubuntunewbie: which versions of firefox are you using?
[15:46] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 i did it with sudo. and it runs
[15:46] <sunil> how to open files with ".chm" extension
[15:46] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: found this: http://linuxoutlaws.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2339

[15:47] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 without sudo ping 192.168.1.4 -f , said ping: cannot flood
[15:47] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  my simple calander config works fine.  as does my simple startconky.sh script.   when in doubt try rebuilding the whole thing from a clean slate and add one bit back at a time till you figure out what you are doing differentluy
[15:48] <ellovess> hello
[15:48] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: bah
[15:48] <ellovess> alguien de habla hispana
[15:48] <ellovess> ????
[15:48] <lstarnes> !es | ellovess
[15:48] <TriMe> Soslas, same with Traceroutes and scanning for TCP or UDP packets u need root access for that
[15:48] <w1cked> ActionParsnip: I tried those ones but it doesnt help. thanks anyway.
[15:48] <ellovess> ubottu gracias
[15:48] <ubuntunewbie> lstarnes: 3.5.6
[15:48] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: you will need to find alternatives for those socket options to see what will make it nice for you and test each time, I use zero extra options and its ok
[15:49] <sunil> may i know how to open files with extension ".chm"
[15:49] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 : without sudo says, cannot flood,minimal interlval, allowed for user, is 200ms
[15:49] <TriMe> yeah correct.
[15:49] <TriMe> its so standard users dont crash or harm anything
[15:49] <obaid> chmsee
[15:49] <unop> sunil, gnochm, xchm, etc
[15:50] <ai9371> ok still not working
 srill now working!
[15:50] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: could try: socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192   in smb.conf
[15:50] <sunil> gnochm, xchm???
[15:50] <TriMe> Yeah?
[15:50] <sunil> how to do that
[15:50] <obaid> sunil, sudo apt-get install chmsee
[15:50] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, i don;t believe it has anything to do with scripts. it has to do with possible the name or the location of the script. because now that I  put the .conkylaunch in /usr/local/bin (which is in my path) and renamed it to conkylaunch when I run that from the run prompt it WORKS!!!!
[15:50] <ai9371> do I have to start phpMyadmin
[15:50] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: or: socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
[15:50] <obaid> or other ones
[15:50] <nihatkaratasli> I am trying to append the fields that I cut from 4 files to one text document in order to create a simple bash program. I tried to use pipes with the paste command but it doesnt work. would anyone help me on that?
[15:51] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: stuff like that, there are lots of options, you will just need to play
[15:51] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 : i tried those buffers, and in the next line tcp no delay
[15:51] <Bohemian> can someone tell me if the alternate installer has a way of encrypting the fs or not?
[15:51] <TriMe> ai9371, Try this bud see how u go if u get stuck msg me kk
[15:51] <TriMe> ai9371, Try this bud see how u go if u get stuck msg me kk :: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=114129
[15:51] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  this is why i was saying keep things in /whatever/bin dont litter .whtever files all over the place. :)
[15:51] <lstarnes> Bohemian: it can at least do the home directory
[15:52] <Bohemian> lstarnes: in the alternate cd or can i do it with the regular installer
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  i have about a dozen conky related 'scripts' in my /home/willis/bin dir
[15:52] <lstarnes> Bohemian: alternate
[15:52] <Bohemian> and does wubi allow you to delete the windows partition?
[15:52] <Bohemian> okay
[15:52] <lstarnes> Bohemian: no
[15:52] <lstarnes> Bohemian: wubi uses the windows partition
[15:52] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: it doesnt delete anything, it installs to a file in your windows file system
[15:52] <lstarnes> Bohemian: encrypting the root partition is rather complex and may require using a separate unencrypted /boot partition
[15:52] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, ok, that issue solved but not really understand why it works from /usr/local/bin and not from my ~/ directory. next issue. do you know what option in conky config adds that line after the word "Calander"?  http://img63.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotuf.png
[15:52] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: due to ntfs getting very fragmented, this affects the speed of wubi
[15:53] <Bohemian> is there a good website which lists games that are available on linux?
[15:53] <ActionParsnip1> !games | Bohemian
[15:53] <Bohemian> lstarnes: i've always been able to do it on freebsd, and when i was using gentoo/selinux, it was possible
[15:53] <sunil> i got   E: Couldn't find package chmsee
[15:53] <sunil> after i have run 	 	 	 	   sudo apt-get install chmsee
[15:53] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, so it must be because the command wasn't located in my $PATH that it wasn't working? WHO KNOWS but you're right, that went on for way to long!
[15:53] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 : someone told me he had the similar problem and got solved by disable QoS in windows
[15:53] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: there are more than that but thats a good list to go at (penumbra is one of my favourites as is urban terror)
[15:53] <Helsinkiii> hi
[15:53] <donvito-> how to install tcl od ubuntu
[15:53] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: i dont know about that, i dont use windows
[15:53] <lstarnes> sunil: what bout xchm or gnochm?
[15:54] <lstarnes> donvito-: sudo apt-get install tcl
[15:54] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  at the end of your calander config its calling  ~/calander.sh  - i do NOT think ~/ works inside conky scripts.
[15:54] <Helsinkiii> can someone point me to a clear, step by step tutorial on how to password protect 1 folder?
[15:54] <sunil> can you expand still further
[15:54] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: which release too
[15:54] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  if nothing else.. its bad practice to do it that way.   Put the script in some location in your path.
[15:54] <Slart> Helsinkiii: I'm not sure you can do that
[15:54] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, but it works from /usr/local/bin
[15:54] <TriMe> Helsinkiii, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=37678
[15:54] <donvito-> E: coldnt find tcl
[15:54] <lstarnes> sunil: try installing the packages for gnochm or xchm
[15:55] <Slart> Helsinkiii: you could of course use something like truecrypt
[15:55] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  because thats in your path
[15:55] <ActionParsnip1> !find tcl
[15:55] <ActionParsnip1> !info tcl
[15:55] <lstarnes> donvito-: do you have the universe repository enabled?
[15:55] <donvito-> no
[15:55] <donvito-> how do i need to
[15:55] <Helsinkiii> TriMe: apparently there is a way to chmod to 000 r something to require root access
[15:55] <lstarnes> donvito-: enable it
[15:55] <donvito-> how ? im newbie
[15:55] <sunil> how to install packages for gnochm or xchm???
[15:55] <lstarnes> donvito-: you can do that through system > administration > software sources
[15:55] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: what is the output of: lsb_release -c
[15:55] <lstarnes> sunil: do you know how to install packages?
[15:56] <TriMe> Helsinkiii, 000 will allow no one to have access even root.
[15:56] <ActionParsnip1> sunil: sudo apt-get install gnochm
[15:56] <TriMe> Helsinkiii, i would do 644
[15:56] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, ok, that issue solved but not really understand why it works from /usr/local/bin and not from my ~/ directory. next issue. do you know what option in conky config adds that line after the word "Calander"?  http://img63.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotuf.png
[15:56] <sunil>  sudo apt-get install gnochm is not working
[15:57] <lstarnes> sunil: what error do you get?

[15:57] <qt-x> witch is the best linux distribution for runing lamp ?
[15:58] <Slart> snake: I think the easiest way is to just create a new user and migrate all your stuff to that
[15:58] <ActionParsnip1> qt-x: none are best
[15:58] <snake> Slart: thanks
[15:58] <lstarnes> qt-x: most linux distributions can run the applications in lamp
[15:58] <sunil> how to enable universe repo??
[15:58] <Slart> snake: you can probably do it but you'll be changing it in a lot of places..
[15:58] <lstarnes> qt-x: ubuntu's server edition includes them
[15:58] <ActionParsnip1> qt-x: they are all equal as they can all run lamp equally
[15:58] <ActionParsnip1> sunil: in software sources, like I told you
[15:59] <ActionParsnip1> sunil: system -> administration -> software sources
[15:59] <snake> Slart you mean i'll have to edit like 20 config files?
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  simple   /usr/whatever/bin IS in your path.. it scans the path
[15:59] <qt-x> what version of ubuntu  server is recomended ? for beginers ?
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  ~/ is not
[15:59] <ActionParsnip1> qt-x: ubuntu desktop
[15:59] <rsk> qt-x, always the latest
[15:59] <Slart> snake: something like that.. yes..
[16:00] <donvito-> i still dont get it
[16:00] <donvito-> let me know how to install tcl
[16:00] <lstarnes> qt-x: 8.04 (the LTS version) or 9.10 (the most recent version)
[16:00] <donvito-> on my ubuntu please
[16:00] <snake> Slart: okay i will make a new user
[16:00] <lstarnes> donvito-: we told you

[16:00] <lstarnes> Rob215_: yes

[16:00] <lstarnes> donvito-: sudo apt-get install tcl tcl-dev
[16:00] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, so by running a command from the run prompt with sh or ./ will search my home directory but without it won't? i know this is confussing but it still doesn't make sence
[16:00] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: ok click Applications -> accessories -> terminal
[16:00] <lstarnes> donvito-: after enabling the universe repository

[16:02] <Rob215_> No! I'm same user from Win 2000 "~/ is automatically expanded to equal /home/USERNAME/" Istarnes! Can't find it!
[16:02] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: there is no best irc client
[16:02] <lstarnes> donvito-: but you really shouldn't be using an unspported version
[16:02] <maco> !best | w1cked
[16:02] <ActionParsnip1> sunil: i told you twice now. its system -> administration -> software sources
[16:02] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  sh ./whatver.sh is a full path to the script
[16:02] <lstarnes> Rob215_: can't find what?
[16:02] <Rob215_> ~/.gconf
[16:02] <lstarnes> sunil: this is the last time I will tell you:
[16:02] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:   if its executable and in the path. you could run whaever.sh from anywhere
[16:02] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: there is no best app for any situation, there are multiple apps as they all excell in one way or another
[16:03] <lstarnes> sunil: step 1: open system > administration > software sources
[16:03] <lstarnes> sunil: step 2: select the ubuntu software tab
[16:03] <anteaya> if dpkg doesn't know about a package but the package is located on the server verified by using 'find <pkg>' can I safely conclude that the pkg was installed from source?
[16:03] <nastas> Rob215_: did you try to ctrl+H in home dir?
[16:03] <lstarnes> sunil: step 3: check "community supported open source software (universe)" and check it
[16:03] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: you are using an OS where choice is rife and there is more than one app for a solution but you still come here to ask strangers what you should think
[16:03] <lstarnes> sunil: step 4: close
[16:03] <Rob215_> OK, I'll try
[16:03] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: try a few, see which you prefer , that one is best
[16:03] <lstarnes> anteaya: not necessarily
[16:03] <nastas> Rob215_: .gconf is hidden
[16:04] <anteaya> lstarnes, thanks, what am I missing?
[16:04] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: here are some options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat#IRC Clients
[16:04] <w1cked> ActionParsnip1: I tried Pidgin, X-Chat, kVirc and didnt like no one of them!
[16:04] <FANDER1> guys, my ISP uses a proxy for the internet, how can I set the proxy to work with all the applications?
[16:04] <lstarnes> anteaya: it depends on what you are trying to do?
[16:04] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, running a command with . i thought just means current dir, how does the run prompt know to look in my home directory by merely using ./conkylaunch. ANYWAY, moving on. I tried out your calander script but it doesn't show the current date
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> w1cked:  write your own then..
[16:04] <FANDER1> setting the proxy from System>Preference>Network proxy doesn't work!
[16:04] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: well what if someone said "Pidgin is THE best client" would yu still use it?
[16:04] <OpenSorce> w1cked, try Quassel
[16:04] <anteaya> lstarnes, upgrade apache on a very old server kernel
[16:04] <lstarnes> w1cked: did you try regular xchat, or was it xchat-gnome?
[16:05] <nastas> Rob215_: found it?
[16:05] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: even though you evaluated it as poor
[16:05] <Dr_Willis>  mazda01  ./whatever if you are in /home/bubba    is the same as /home/bubba/whatever
[16:05] <mezquitale> w1cked, did you try xchat-gnome or the real xchat?
[16:05] <Rob215_> no
[16:05] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, like mine does. how do we get rid of those lines around the Date that make the calander move over more to the left.
[16:05] <FANDER1> I want to set the proxy "once"
[16:05] <lstarnes> anteaya: check the version of apache that you have and compare it to the version in aptitiude
[16:05] <w1cked> its XChat 2.8.6
[16:05] <donvito-> if i want to connect to my ubuntu through ssh
[16:05] <donvito-> what i need to install?
[16:05] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: do you see what I mean now??
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  the run prompt is allready in  the home dir..  if  your script was in /home/bubbas/stuff  and you tryed ./whatever  then it wouldent work
[16:05] <lstarnes> donvito-: openssh-server
[16:05] <w1cked> OpenSorce thanks, gonna try it
[16:05] <xtjacob> hello everyone! i just installed windows as a dual boot, and after i reinstalled grub windows is not on the list. how do i add it to the list?
[16:05] <OpenSorce> or does Quassel ship with the old gnome *buntu variant?
[16:05] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: openssh-server
[16:05] <donvito-> ok
[16:06] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, but I am saying envoking the run prompt with merely alt-f2, your saying that it just knows what directory i am in? i could hit alt-f2 when in firefox, how does it know to use my home directory. is it because I am logged in?
[16:06] <lstarnes> donvito-: be warned that the version of openssh that your version of ubuntu has may be extremely outdated, insecure, or incompatible with newer versions
[16:06] <anteaya> lstarnes, not sure how to do that, I will try to figure that out, I get nothing when I input apache -v so I have to figure out how to get the version info first
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  i normally know the current date.. and mine is a 1 line command in the  conkyrc.. i dont need the current date. :)
[16:06] <freeride> hello all. does anybody know how to use remind: rem sun at 14:00 ... something like this?
[16:06] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, oh, sorry. was writing and didn't look up before posting that
[16:06] <Return> i'm on xchat ubuntu
[16:06] <lstarnes> anteaya: what about apache2 -v?
[16:06] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, do you know how to get rid of those lines though?
[16:06] <Return> what i have to do to go on irc.peiknet.org plz ?
[16:06] <lstarnes> anteaya: also, aptitude show apache2 | grep Version
[16:06] <ActionParsnip1> i use pidgin w1cked. I think its fine
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  which lines?
[16:07] <lstarnes> Return: /newserver irc.peiknet.org
[16:07] <Return> ty
[16:07] <Rob215_> USERNAME dir. i'm in it! Ctrl + H makes more files seeable. No gconf. Even when searching
[16:07] <ActionParsnip1> !info remind
[16:07] <lstarnes> Rob215_: or .gconf?
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  if you mean the red line above your calander. its from the <HR> entries in your conky config
[16:07] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, the lines above and below the current date "Saturday, December,26" oh dah, there is the current date. it's just not highlighted in color within the calander
[16:07] <freeride> ActionParsnip1 thanks, it helped me alot ;)
[16:07] <mezquitale>  Return you need to find out on what server peiknet is using, youre on freenode right now
[16:07] <Rob215_> no! but what about copying from root?
[16:08] <legend2440> Rob215_: .gconf is a folder
[16:08] <ardian> Hi how can i connect toa friends PC he is using ubuntu is there any good  VNC client
[16:08] <lstarnes> Rob215_: you shouldn't need to copy from root
[16:08] <ActionParsnip1> !vnc | ardian
[16:08] <Rob215_> oh.
[16:08] <ardian> thanks ActionParsnip1
[16:08] <Rob215_> yes foun
[16:08] <Rob215_> yees found it!
[16:08] <ActionParsnip1> ardian: make sure you use the ssh tunnel
[16:08] <ardian> I'm using hamachi
[16:08] <Rob215_> what next?
[16:08] <freeride> ActionParsnip1 can u show me some examples of using remind, pastebin?
[16:08] <ardian> just need the software
[16:09] <freeride> ActionParsnip1 thanks in advance
[16:09] <anteaya> lstarnes, thanks the second command worked
[16:09] <lstarnes> Rob215_: remove the .gconf in your home directory or rename it
[16:09] <ActionParsnip1> freeride: i didnt even know it existed til it was mentioned. Could use the at command
[16:09] <ActionParsnip1> freeride: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3529
[16:09] <Rob215> next

[16:10] <Rob215> Thanks!!!!!!!
[16:10] <lstarnes> Return: that's a client setting
[16:10] <Return> wher
[16:10] <Return> i don't find
[16:10] <lstarnes> Return: xchat > network list
[16:10] <freeride> ActionParsnip1 very useful, thanks
[16:10] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  as for moveing the things around.  check the conky config in the max width and offset options
[16:11] <Rob215> One problem solved. Another went in!
[16:11] <mezquitale> EsatYuce, there should be an icon for it on your menu, look under "Internet" or "accesories", you can also start it manually using a terminal
[16:11] <Rob215> Right-click on the desktop doesn't work
[16:11] <aguitel> i want to make a network with 2 pc connected to router ,how i do that ?
[16:11] <ActionParsnip1> EsatYuce: press F@ and type  baz   then wait to see if its completed for you
[16:11] <Return> there isn't the menu xchat..
[16:11] <Return> in preference
[16:11] <ActionParsnip1> Rob215: press alt+f2   type nautilus    press enter
[16:12] <anteaya> lstarnes, am I able to infer anything about how apache2 was installed by the fact that -v doesn't give me output but that aptitude show apache2 | grep Version does?
[16:12] <Bohemian> how do i download openoffice, firefox, thunderbird, etc, so i can instlal the items via cd rather than the network?
[16:12] <lstarnes> Return: are you using xchat, or are you using xchat-gnome?
[16:12] <PrototypeX29A> is there a program like mpg321 which allows to play mp3s in a directory, but with more interaction. Like a possibility to pause?
[16:12] <Return> xchat gnome
[16:12] <lstarnes> anteaya: not really
[16:12] <om26er> !ayatana
[16:12] <lstarnes> Return: try using the regular version of xchat
[16:12] <anteaya> lstarnes, okay well thanks for your guidance
[16:12] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: you can use aptoncd   to save the debs from one Ubuntu system to another
[16:12] <mezquitale> aguitel, if the 2 machiens are connected with a router you already have a network?  What is it you want to accomplish?  You can play network games with each other, share files, log in to each other's machine, etc.
[16:12] <Rob215> yeah! wallpaper changed but it worked! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[16:13] <lstarnes> Rob215: you're welcome
[16:13] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: quite ironic how you want to use an offline install for an email client thouh. Although it reduces bandwidth used
[16:13] <f1assistance1> Isn’t it curious there are usually over 1200 users in the buntu channel (1 flavor) and around 300 in the Windows, yet Windows has 90% of the market and Linux 1% globally…wouldn’t you think this backwards if Windows sucks so bad?
[16:13] <lstarnes> Rob215: btw, I think your ! key might be feeling a bit sore
[16:13] <Bohemian> ActionParsnip1: what is aptoncd?
[16:13] <Rob215> lol
[16:13] <aguitel> mezquitale, i want to share files ,the 2 pc have same ip
[16:13] <ActionParsnip1> Rob215: the menu you see and the desktop icons are drawn by nautilus, it just wasnt running
[16:13] <qt-x> aguitel read router manual should help
[16:13] <ActionParsnip1> !aptoncd | Bohemian
 where will i press F@ and will type baz?
[16:13] <Rob215> I know
[16:13] <sixtila> problem installing fglrx graphics driver - SystemError: E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[16:14] <ActionParsnip1> EsatYuce: on the desktop
[16:14] <mezquitale> aguitel, install an ssh server, that's is the best and easiest, the two machines should not have the same IP, they both have ubuntu?
[16:14] <qt-x> local they do not
[16:14] <ActionParsnip1> EsatYuce: its a universally accessible shortcut
[16:14] <qt-x>  aguitel the 2 pc have diferent ip
[16:14] <sixtila> cant install flash plugin as well - Package dependencies cannot be resolved
[16:14] <hamzaatova2> how can i install ubuntu with wireless keyboard if it doesnt work??????????????????
[16:15] <aguitel> mezquitale, qt-x the 2 pcs have internet with the router
[16:15] <Bohemian> so i need a ubuntu machine already?
[16:15] <ActionParsnip1> sixtila: can you use http://pastebin.com   to give the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf
 can you explain more about this shourcut?
[16:15] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: or you can download the debs from http://packages.ubuntu.com
[16:15] <BinaryMan> !info wminput
[16:16] <aguitel> mezquitale, qt-x  both pcs have ubuntu
[16:16] <mezquitale> aguitel,  and both machines have ubuntu?
[16:16] <BinaryMan> !info lswm > BinaryMan
[16:16] <ActionParsnip1> EsatYuce: you press the shortcut and you can launch the apps in your menu as well as the commands in $PATH
[16:16] <uberspaced> for wireless stuff, I have read: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/WG111T
[16:16] <Rob215> But. ALT+F2 doesn't work AND typing into a terminal works but closing it (the terminal) quits the nautilus!

[16:17] <sixtila> Actionparsnip1 first one here http://pastebin.ca/1727582
[16:17] <qt-x> aguitel if that is the case ther is already a network :D
[16:17] <ActionParsnip1> sixtila: do it all as one command
[16:17] <qt-x> of bouth
[16:17] <ActionParsnip1> sixtila: makes life easier
[16:18] <aguitel> qt-x, how i see that
[16:18] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, it's getting pushed over to the left of the screen, how do I make it so it's closer to the right edge. i already have x offset set to 10 only
[16:18] <ActionParsnip1> sixtila: its all one command as I  used ; in between so the commands will run one after another rather than you manually running them
[16:18] <sixtila> ActionParsnip1 upgrade gives 0, all others dont have output
[16:18] <sixtila> gotcha
[16:18] <ActionParsnip1> uberspaced: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk   then use the windows .inf and .sys file from the driver files online
[16:18] <Rob215> IBut. ALT+F2 doesn't work AND typing into a terminal works but closing it (the terminal) quits the nautilus! It's a wireless keyboard so it "says undo not F2" to the PC so, stated ALT + F2 doesn't work
[16:18] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, heres a pic: http://img682.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1xh.png
[16:18] <legend2440> Rob215: in terminal try   nautilus &  then you should be able to close terminal  by typing  exit and nautilus should stay open
[16:18] <ActionParsnip1> sixtila: run the whole command and copy it all to one pastebin
[16:18] <uberspaced> ActionParsnip1, okie dokie...
[16:19] <mezquitale> aguitel, send me a PM
[16:19] <lstarnes> Rob215: or nautilus & disown

[16:19] <aguitel> mezquitale, what is PM ?
[16:19] <w1cked> ActionParsnip1: okay, Pidgin is my choise :)
[16:19] <mezquitale> aguitel, PM = private message

[16:31] <sixtila> need help installing the open source graphics driver - i have ati*amd
[16:32] <lstarnes> Rob215: use ps ax | grep nautilus, find the PID of nautilus run by root, then use sudo kill PID
[16:32] <legend2440> ubuntunewbie: your right Weather Report doesnt list your city
[16:32] <eefer> hi

[16:32] <lstarnes> Rob215: replace ax with aux
[16:32] <lstarnes> Rob215: the PID is the number after the username
[16:32] <nastas> carrera: did you try to reinstall grub?
[16:32] <ActionParsnip1> carrera: ok then boot to liveCD and check fstab file on your installed system as well a sthe grub config, make sure it all matches up nice
[16:32] <ubuntunewbie> legend2440: it doesn't list the city
[16:33] <Rob215> ok
[16:33] <raj> sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[16:33] <raj> gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:33] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: its a plugin in pidgin
[16:33] <legend2440> ubuntunewbie: yes i know
[16:33] <raj> this command is not working for me
[16:33] <raj> need advice
[16:33] <raj> guys
[16:33] <ubuntunewbie> legend2440: weather report ? where can I find it ?
[16:33] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: main pidgin screen press ctrl+u   then click on  join/part hiding   you now wont see them

[16:33] <riddlebox> can someone tell me which is the easiest way to create a windows share?
[16:34] <ActionParsnip1> !samba | riddlebox
[16:34] <ActionParsnip1> raj: if its a clean install of karmic it will not have the file to start with, if you make one it will be used
[16:34] <carrera> nastas, No, but I'm reading about reinstalling GRUB at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[16:34] <legend2440> ubuntunewbie: right click top panel choose Add to panel  choose Weather Report  but it doesn't list your city so not much good to you
[16:35] <raj> ok
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> riddlebox:  I install samba,  edit the smb.conf to enable home share  and set the proper workgroup..  give teh linux user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username'  - restart samba. and then the users whole 'home' is shared. :)
[16:35] <raj> thanks
[16:35] <nastas> carrera: you installed windows over ubuntu?
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> riddlebox:  theres other ways to get some shares goind also.
[16:35] <carrera> ActionParsnip1, will do!
[16:35] <ActionParsnip1> carrera: could always reinstall grub
[16:35] <ActionParsnip1> !grub2 | carrera
[16:35] <ActionParsnip1> carrera: will help
[16:36] <ubuntunewbie> legend2440: so what does a clear weather from screenlets update city report ?
[16:36] <linuxghost> ActionParsnip1: but ive not the kernel referred to be patched
[16:36] <linuxghost> ive the updated kernel 2.6.31
[16:36] <linuxghost> patch < /home/ghost/ar5523/debian/patches/kcompat-2.6.26.patch
[16:36] <riddlebox> Dr_Willis, ok, I will look at it, I got a blue ray player for xmas and it plays from windows shares
[16:37] <ActionParsnip1> linuxghost: the patch method is still the same
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> riddlebox:  thats.. nifty. :) wife got a portable dvd that can play mp4/divx/other videos from sd/usb/dvd data disks. )
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> riddlebox:  you may want to make a specific 'video' share then to keep all your videos in
[16:38] <riddlebox> Dr_Willis, thats what I was thinking, I have never really needed to work with samba till now, but I figured that was the way to go
[16:38] <Rob215> Ok, done correctly now! But one question will it startup with Ubuntu 9.10 kernel 2.6.31.15?
[16:38] <Dr_Willis> riddlebox:  proberly the ionly want to go. unless the player supports upnp browsing of upnp servers
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> riddlebox:  last i checked blueray players they dident have that feature..  that was exactly what the wife was wanting to do about 9 mo ago.
[16:39] <lstarnes> Rob215: it should regardless of the kernel version
[16:39] <riddlebox> Dr_Willis, yeah it hasnt mentioned that
[16:39] <ActionParsnip1> Rob215: sure as long as its in your grub config
[16:40] <Dr_Willis> riddlebox:  this just reminded me.. wife got me a little portable video plauyer also. :)  time to check it out
[16:40] <Rob215> How do I know
[16:40] <donvito-> can i get a soruce for openssh-server
[16:40] <ActionParsnip1> !repo | donvito-
[16:40] <macman_> hi all .. does ubuntu always have issues with finding dependancies or anything ?
[16:40] <lstarnes> donvito-: it should be in the repositories for your version of ubuntu
[16:41] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources
[16:41] <lstarnes> donvito-: you might need to use old-releases.ubuntu.com if you're using an old, unsupported version
[16:41] <toufik> hey
[16:41] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: it doesnt always, but can
[16:41] <ubuntunewbie> legend2440: which weather report data website does it taken from ?
[16:41] <nastas> macman_: not allways
[16:41] <Dr_Willis> macman_:  err.. thats a little vague. :) the apt packaging system is very good at installing/remioving and keeping track of dependencies
[16:41] <ubuntunewbie> legend2440: which does it refer to ?
[16:42] <toufik> plz i've a probleme with my camlife
[16:42] <progre55> hi people! I have a weird problem with my internet connection.. I guess it has to do with DNS. when I open a page on a browser, it waits for about 1-2 mins before it can resolve the IP of the domain. and moreover, when I ping directly an IP address, it pings right-away, but when I ping a domain name, it waits for a long time before it actually starts pinging. Any suggestions, please?
[16:42] <nastas> macman_: what kind of issue do you have?
[16:42] <Dr_Willis> Package magement is a amazing topic with so many pitfalls and potential issues..
[16:42] <progre55> or should I better call my ISP? :)
[16:42] <lstarnes> progre55: you could try an alternative dns server
[16:42] <stevemc> Iḿ running Ubuntu 9.10 and using auto login for my wife with a 30 second delay, But my problem is it won give me a means of logining in for me in that 30 seconds delay. I click all over the gdm screen but no means of entering my users name.
[16:42] <macman_> Dr_Willis: ok yea i tried 8.10 and liked it .. i just would like a quick answer .. i would like to keep the system up todate all the time .. what commands do i run to  keep my system up todate all the time ?
[16:42] <lstarnes> progre55: I usually use 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222, which are OpenDNS's nameservers
[16:42] <Darkchylde> progre55: are you on karnic?
[16:42] <progre55> lstarnes: how, where can I set it?
[16:42] <Dr_Willis> progre55:  also sounds like a ipv6 'issue'  - but i thought most of those got fixed
[16:42] <macman_> im downloading the 9.10 iso
[16:42] <lubosz> hi
[16:43] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: its one of the weaknesses in package based distros
[16:43] <lstarnes> progre55: /etc/resolv.conf
[16:43] <progre55> Darkchylde: yep
[16:43] <Dr_Willis> macman_:  the package manager tools can do that.
[16:43] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: make sure you MD5 test it before burning ;)
[16:43] <lubosz> i have a black screen at tty1 with a 230M, current stable nvidia driver. how do i fix that?
[16:43] <Dr_Willis> macman_:  i update/upgrade about once a week.
[16:43] <linuxghost> but ive followed those thread with no result https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper)
[16:43] <macman_> oh ok
[16:43] <linuxghost> ubuntu crashes my head
[16:43] <progre55> Dr_Willis: any workarounds other than setting another DNS?
[16:43] <Darkchylde> progre55: i had the same problem - open /etc/resolv.conf and invert the order of DNS addresses.
[16:43] <Rob215> Istarnes and ActionParsnip1. Last problem, I can't seem to upgrade to kernel 2.6.31.17 from update manager
[16:43] <progre55> lstarnes: thanks man
[16:43] <lubosz> i had to extract a custom EDID from windows to use in xorg.conf to make my monitor work with the xserver
[16:43] <ActionParsnip1> !info linux-image
[16:43] <Dr_Willis> !ipv6
[16:44] <progre55> Darkchylde: thanks, I'll try that now
[16:44] <ActionParsnip1> Rob215: its not in the repo
[16:44] <lstarnes> Rob215: the versions in the update manager are slightly different than what the linux kernel's developers make
[16:44] <raj> i need to configure 1024x768 resolution
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> progre55:  check that ipv6 site for trouble shooting info. try the opendns servers, and googles own servers.  8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. (i think)
[16:44] <raj> how can i do it guys
[16:44] <anteaya> lstarnes, I believe I have answered my earlier question, apache2 installs via source only, no packages available, thanks for your help
[16:45] <carrera> nastas, no sir. I know to install Windowz first on a dual boot system. I was going to use VirtualBox on this system. I've 4 Gigs of Corsair RAM
[16:45] <lstarnes> anteaya: that's not true
[16:45] <macman_> don't i normally use apt not dpkg ?
[16:45] <anteaya> lstarnes, oh?
[16:45] <lstarnes> anteaya: apache2 has packages in ubuntu's repos
[16:45] <ActionParsnip1> raj: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga
[16:45] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: you can use both
[16:45] <macman_> witch is more prefered ?
[16:45] <nastas> carrera: did you try to fix grub?
[16:45] <lubosz> ray: you can do that in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file or in the gnome settings or your proprietary drivers settings.
[16:45] <progre55> these are the addresses in my /etc/resolv.conf at the moment: domain cust.bredband2.com   search cust.bredband2.com   nameserver 83.233.70.36   nameserver 192.168.0.1
[16:45] <ubuntunewbie> Anyone know which weather report data website ubuntu does it taken from ?
[16:45] <guntbert> !latest | Rob215 why do you need 2.6.31.17
[16:46] <lubosz> raj: you can do that in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file or in the gnome settings or your proprietary drivers settings.
[16:46] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: both, dpkg won't use the repos like dpkg does, dpkg is used to install user downloaded deb files
[16:46] <progre55> which one of them would I need to change?
[16:46] <macman_> oh ok dpkg is for standalone .deb files ?
[16:46] <anteaya> lstarnes, hmmm, none available on the download page: http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi and thanks for the additional information
[16:46] <lstarnes> progre55: before the other two nameserver entries, add nameserver 208.67.222.222 and nameserver 208.67.220.220
[16:46] <linuxghost> does someone use  atheros chipset USB WIFI here?
[16:46] <lstarnes> anteaya: sudo apt-get install apache2
[16:46] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: yep, apt-get and aptitude will use the repos and satisfy deps
[16:46] <xlauwon> ..
[16:46] <progre55> lstarnes: cool, thanks
[16:46] <macman_> what is diff from apt-get and aptititude ?
[16:47] <snake> adding to $PATH: how do add a directory to the end of $PATH ?
[16:47] <raj> lubosz:how can i do in proprietary driver settings
[16:47] <lstarnes> macman_: aptitude also has a menu-based terminal user interface whe started with no options
[16:47] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: theres some but ultimately they achieve the same end, they can be used interchangably
[16:47] <lstarnes> macman_: it also has some slightly different functions and has better conflict handling
[16:47] <lubosz> raj: on nvidia it's nvidia-settings, ati i have no idea. but nvidia settings is in your system menu in gnome
[16:47] <Rob215> Because when I upgraded to 2.6.31.17. GRUB said no image found so I removed it from Synaptic
[16:47] <raj> lubosz : i am having only two resolutions 800x600 and 600x480
[16:47] <ActionParsnip1> raj: what is the output of te command please?
[16:47] <lubosz> raj: nvidia?
[16:48] <anteaya> lstarnes, I'm nervous about that one since apt-get doesn't know anything about the apache that is there, I have baked my own OS in the past when I installed the same package via both synaptic and from source
[16:48] <lstarnes> progre55: also, do you use DHCP for automatic configuration?
[16:48] <progre55> awesome! it seems to be fixed :)
[16:48] <ActionParsnip1> raj: in a terminal run: lspci | grep -i vga
[16:48] <snake> adding to $PATH: how do add a directory to the end of $PATH ?
[16:48] <progre55> lstarnes: yeah, on my router level
[16:48] <guntbert> Rob215: here I have 2.6.31.16 too - why do you need the latest anyway?
[16:49] <raj> action:~$ lspci | grep -i vga
[16:49] <raj> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[16:49] <lstarnes> progre55: you might need to add something in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to make sure that those two nameservers don't get overwritten
[16:49] <robin___> http://www.ugotit.ca
[16:49] <snake> adding to $PATH: how do add a directory to the end of $PATH ?
[16:49] <raj> actionparsnip1:~$ lspci | grep -i vga
[16:49] <raj> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[16:49] <progre55> lstarnes: oh, what would I need to add?
[16:50] <lstarnes> snake: export PATH=$PATH:new-directory
[16:50] <lubosz> raj: there is no proprietary driver fro your hardware, intel is foss
[16:50] <linuxghost> help here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper)
[16:50] <snake> sorry i asked this already but
[16:50] <snake> im not the brightest guy around
[16:50] <macman_> i remember now why i stopped using ubuntu .. it didn't like my nvida card
[16:50]  * Malolat i neta8 wita wieczorkiem:)
[16:50] <donvito-> when feisty trying to update soures to many sources not updated
[16:50] <progre55> apparently my old nameserver 83.233.70.36 is not even pinging =)
[16:50] <lstarnes> donvito-: probably because you're using a very old version of ubuntu
[16:50] <ActionParsnip1> raj: #38 on this link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/416073
[16:50] <Rob215> Because it the latest! The update is an update to the ubuntu core!!
[16:50] <raj> lubosz: what do u mean by it
[16:50] <donvito-> how to update the distro?
[16:51] <macman_> ok i need nvidia-glx-180
[16:51] <Rascal911> the openvpn addon for network manager is dodgy so i have to use cli. How do i push *everything* (except local stuff obviously) down private network?
[16:51] <lstarnes> progre55: open /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and add this: prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220;
[16:51] <guntbert> Rob215: wait till it is distributed
[16:51] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: if you run: gksudo jockey-gtk      it will be offered in a nice gui for you
[16:51] <linuxghost> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubuntu 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523
[16:51] <progre55> lstarnes: thanks! appreciate man
[16:51] <donvito-> when try to ./configure eggdrop
[16:51] <ActionParsnip1> !upgrade | donvito-
[16:51] <lstarnes> donvito-: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[16:52] <nastas> donvito-: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[16:52] <donvito-> c compiler not work
[16:52] <lstarnes> donvito-: you need the tcl and tcl-dev packages for tcl in eggdrop
[16:52] <progre55> lstarnes: done, thank you
[16:52] <lstarnes> donvito-: also, build-essential must be installed for compiling anything
[16:52] <donvito-> ok
[16:52] <lstarnes> progre55: assuming that your version of ubuntu still uses dhclient, that should work
[16:52] <linuxghost> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubuntu 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523 and this http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523#supported the patch step doesnt run
[16:53] <raj> guys nothing is helping is helping me
[16:53] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: do i run  gksudo jockey-gtk  before i install the nvidia-glx-180 .. when i was on ubuntu 8.10 i don't think my nvida card ever worked .. no matter what i used
[16:53] <raj> nothing is helping me
[16:53] <raj> need experts
[16:53] <macman_> also i need to get my wifi working without ndiswrapper
[16:53] <macman_> actually i can fix that .. i think i remember
[16:53] <nastas> macman_: what is your wifi card?
[16:53] <ActionParsnip1> linuxghost: http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523   looks like you gotta compile the module, or you can use ndiswrapper
[16:54] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: jockey will offer you the driver
[16:54] <macman_> i have a broadcom .. yea i think i know how to do it
[16:54] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga

[16:56] <kotis> hi, is here some who could help me a bit. i have problems with my nvidia graphic card and ubuntu 9.10
[16:56] <protojay> ubuntu rules!!

[16:57] <Rob215> please help
[16:57] <guntbert> !who | Rob215
[16:57] <DaZ_> !ask | kotis
[16:58] <kotis> sorry :D
[16:58] <nastas> kotis: what exactly is your issue?
[16:58] <guntbert> Rob215: what do you get with uname -a ?
[16:58] <Rob215> what
[16:59] <Rob215> !tab what
[16:59] <donvito-> openssh-server should be in live cd?
[16:59] <donvito-> cause i found build-essential there
[16:59] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: yes, you can add it as a repo as well and install from that
[16:59] <lstarnes> donvito-: no
[16:59] <kotis> i have installed nvidia restricted driver 185. the biggest resolution i can use is 1360x768. i would like to use 1680x1050. but i can't set that resolution. monitor is viewsonic va2216w
[17:00] <DaZ> kotis: nvidia-xconfig --mode=1680x1050
[17:00] <goose> donvito-: no, it's not, you'll need to install it through aptitude. unless maybe you're using the specific "Ubuntu server" CD
[17:00] <ActionParsnip1> kotis: ok run: sudo nvidia-xorg; gksudo nvidia-settings
[17:01] <ActionParsnip1> kotis: set the res to something and click "save to X config file"
[17:01] <ActionParsnip1> kotis: you can then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf     and manually change the resolution to what you want
[17:01] <DaZ> ActionParsnip1: nvidia-xorg? :o
[17:02] <ActionParsnip1> kotis: nvidia-xconfig   sorry
[17:02] <ActionParsnip1> DaZ: thanks
[17:02] <chibihogoshino> im planing on upgrading the ram in this laptop to more than 3 gig and i installed the pae kernal, now the swap is around 70% full.. why is this ?
[17:03] <ActionParsnip1> chibihogoshino: run: top     and look at the ram usage (my bet is firefox)
[17:03] <earthian> Hi, I tried to manually upgrade from hardy to karmic, unsuccessfully. How do I now remove all/most ubuntu packages to reinstall the new one with correct dependencies? After remove ubuntu-standard and other ubuntu-* package nothing changed :(
[17:04] <ActionParsnip1> earthian: you need to upgrade to jaunty fro hardy first
[17:04] <ActionParsnip1> *from
[17:04] <earthian> ActionParsnip1, its too late now. how do I remove what i have done?
[17:04] <squid0> hi
[17:04] <earthian> is there any known way to do so?
[17:04] <earthian> to cleanly do it
[17:04] <ActionParsnip1> earthian: if you have screwed your system by jumping a release, all I can suggest is a reinstall
[17:05] <earthian> ok
[17:05] <squid0> I upgraded from jaunty to karmic, and X freezes when I close my laptop lid. any help or suggestions, please? I've disabled DRI but the same problem
[17:05] <ActionParsnip1> earthian: others may have guidance but you are not following proper methods to upgrade and have come unstuck
[17:05] <mka2> earthian, rather install karmic afresh. you can only upgrade from hardy to lucid next year
[17:05] <ActionParsnip1> earthian: the methods are there for a reason and you have chosen to ignore it
[17:06] <earthian> ActionParsnip1, I did not choose to ignore the methods - the methods chose to ignore my wish
[17:06] <chibihogoshino> ActionParsnip1: its not running
[17:06] <mka2> squid0, did you configure your sustem to suspend when the lid is closed?
[17:06] <Lungan> Why doesnt wifi works on my HP laptop?
[17:06] <Lungan> ubuntu 9.10
[17:06] <squid0> mka2: uh, I don't think so
[17:07] <M0D-1T> hey hello everyone! how can i add conky to my startup applications??
[17:07] <ActionParsnip1> chibihogoshino: what isnt?
[17:07] <chibihogoshino> ActionParsnip1: firefox
[17:07] <ActionParsnip1> earthian: then you should have resolved the issue
[17:07] <mka2> earthian, but you never asked if ever it was ok to remove ubuntu* packages
[17:07] <jangaj> Lungan-> you have the driver loaded?
[17:07] <ActionParsnip1> chibihogoshino: that was just my guess at wats chewing you swap and ram as firefox is orrific with ram
[17:07] <ActionParsnip1> chibihogoshino: what does top say is using most ram?
[17:07] <chibihogoshino> ActionParsnip1: i only have 1 gig now, would that make a different
[17:08] <earthian> mka2, well ubuntu-* packages should have triggered a remove of automatically installed packages after them.. i just want a basic system with ssh to reinstall everything again :/
[17:08] <mka2> squid0, right-click the battery icon in gnome-pannel and check properties
[17:08] <Rascal999> i have br0 set up, vpn, how do i shove all traffic down it?
[17:08] <ActionParsnip1> chibihogoshino: well your kernel will use more swap as you have reduced ram
[17:08] <ActionParsnip1> Rascal999: use the route command
[17:09] <Rascal999> ActionParsnip1, route add default gw?
[17:09] <Lungan> Why doesnt wifi works on my HP laptop?
[17:09] <ActionParsnip1> Rascal999: yeah like that :D
[17:09] <mka2> earthian, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop openssh-client openssh-server ....
[17:09] <ActionParsnip1> Lungan: depends on the wifi chip
[17:09] <mka2> earthian, doesn't that work
[17:09] <Lungan> ActionParsnip1, broadcom i think
[17:09] <ActionParsnip1> Lungan: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network | grep -i product
[17:09] <jangaj> earthian-> you were advised to not skip a distro, and you did?
[17:09] <Lungan> ActionParsnip1, I will se
[17:10] <chibihogoshino> ActionParsnip1: yeah but its never been around 70% till upgraded
[17:10] <mka2> earthian, and remember that even if you have all the apps you want to use installed, your system may be missing some critical applications/utilities
[17:10] <ActionParsnip1> chibihogoshino: if you set swappiness lower it will try to use the swap less
[17:10] <mka2> jangaj, yes, earthian is on hardy (a LTS)
[17:11] <squid0> mka2: ok, firstly I'm running lxde or kde (currently lxde)
[17:11] <squid0> mka2: secondly, in systemsettings of kde, I see that powerdevil is disabled
[17:11] <earthian> mka2 i have over 600 packages that can not be upgraded due to dependency problems. jangaj i read on www.ubuntu.com how to upgrade from hardy to karmic and it did not work.so i did a "debian" way of upgrading which did not upgrade everything as I expected so now instead of resolving the dependences myself i just want to reinstall without a medium,i.e. over ssh.
[17:11] <ActionParsnip1> chibihogoshino: gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf       add this line: vm.swappiness=2       to the bottom, save the new file and reboot
[17:11] <donvito-> i just needed to change the sources to old-release.ubuntu.com
[17:11] <donvito-> and no one told me that
[17:11] <donvito-> dissapointles
[17:11] <mka2> squid0, I am 100% gnome so I have little info about KDE environment
[17:11] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: thats why we have that page to tell you
[17:12] <squid0> mka2: got it
[17:12] <donvito-> i didnt release 7.04 u did
[17:12] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: you are using an unsupported release so support is harder
[17:12] <donvito-> so i need help witht that
[17:12] <ActionParsnip1> !7.10 | donvito-
[17:12] <squid0> mka2: iirc there was an issue before, (maybe the same issue I have now?), and to try fix/workaround I disabled powerdevil.
[17:12] <donvito-> ok
[17:12] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: your release has been 8 months dead now
[17:12] <conb123> I remember there was a command I found on google a while ago that put all of your currently installed packages into a file which could be then used to restore them all later on but i cannot find it. Does anybody know which one it is?
[17:12] <silver> is it safe to do a dist. upgrade from jaunty to karmic or should i do a complete new installation?
[17:12] <earthian> anyway nevermind. i will fix it some way. just wanted to ask here if there is a well known way to do so as removal ubuntu-* packages did remove only the virtual one.
[17:12] <donvito-> either im using it on virtual pc and work like charm
[17:13] <squid0> mka2: anyway I just enabled it again and I'll play around and see what I can come up with
[17:13] <mka2> earthian, the only way I think you can upgrade from hardy to karmic is to go to intrepid and from intrepid to jaunty and from jaunty to karmic it is too long!
[17:13] <earthian> thanks
[17:13] <Rascal999> ActionParsnip1, that didn't work
[17:13] <chibihogoshino> ActionParsnip1: thank you .. ill try that
[17:13] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: sure it will work but you wont gt updates as there are no repos for it except your install cd
[17:13] <jangaj> earthian-> as you have experienced, dist upgrade is much much too problematic.  I always suggest a fresh install of the new distro.. if you have had /home in a separate partition, then it is easy to re-install
[17:13] <DaZ> earthian: i think you can force it to remove it's dependencies
[17:13] <hal> just backup your files and do a straight install of ubuntu
[17:13] <ActionParsnip1> Rascal999: if you run: route     does it say its using the right interface
[17:13] <DaZ> but you have to man it [;
[17:14] <earthian> Daz how? :)
[17:14] <DaZ> earthian: man apt-get ?
[17:14] <Rascal999> 10.8.0.1        0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 tun0
[17:14] <ActionParsnip1> silver: you can upgrade to karmic from jaunty just fine
[17:14] <Rascal999> got that atm
[17:14] <earthian> doh. ok. man aptitude then
[17:14] <jangaj> silver see my response to earthian
[17:14] <mka2> DaZ, can you upgrade from hardy to karmic?
[17:14] <earthian> thanks.
[17:14] <stevemc> I guess nobody knows, about auto login, What about 9.10´s new grub, what scripting is those stanzaa, just plain bash or something else?
[17:14] <ActionParsnip1> mka2: no you must stop at jaunty first
[17:14] <DaZ> mka2: i can everything
[17:14] <mka2> earthian, just fix your broken system and think about how to get to karmic if you want to
[17:15] <ActionParsnip1> !grub2 | stevemc
[17:15] <nastas> mka2: in my desktop i did a step by step upgrade
[17:15] <nastas> mka2: exactly as ActionParsnip1 told ys
[17:15] <mka2> Daz, see responses by ActionParsnip1 and nastas
[17:15] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: if you download the alternate ISO for hardy, you can use it to upgrade to hardy which is the oldest release still supported
[17:15] <zer0ne> Hello, I installed ubuntu on my brother's laptop. He got an ipod nano gen 5 for christmas and it will not work with rhythmbox. Is there a workaround?
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> !ipod
[17:16] <ActionParsnip1> zer0ne: gtkpod, amarok, banshee   do ipod stuffs
[17:16] <BluesKaj> Happy Boxing Day !
[17:16] <mdg_> hello! anyone know of a floppy distro that can run e2fsck?
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> zer0ne:  ive heard some bad things about the latest itunes goofing things up also.
[17:16] <macman_> i booted from ubuntu 9.10 dvd right .. its seems like itsstuck at the ubuntu menu
[17:16] <ActionParsnip1> zer0ne: unfortunately apple are closed minded and don't embrace the penguin too much
[17:16] <macman_> now i just have a blinking cursor ath the top left
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> macman_:  which 'ubuntu' menu?
[17:16] <macman_> is ntis normal ?
[17:16] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? did you verify the cd once booted
[17:17] <macman_> yes i verired it
[17:17] <mdg_> hello! anyone know of a floppy distro that can run e2fsck?
[17:17] <macman_> umm.. i donwloaded it form ubuntu website
[17:17] <ActionParsnip1> !bootoptions | macman_
[17:17] <ashmew2> macman_ : did you try the alternate cd ?
[17:17] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: where you downloaded from is moot, as long as it matches the MD5 sums from the ubuntu site its fine
[17:18] <stevemc> ActionParsnip1, Thanks, Iĺl have to study that, because I use multi boot systems.
[17:18] <ActionParsnip1> stevemc: then its very worth while learning it
[17:18] <macman_> if i put a regular 8.10 dvd it will work
[17:18] <linuxghost>  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubuntu 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523 and this http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523#supported the patch step isnot correct for me
[17:18] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: 9.10 uses a different kernel
[17:18] <macman_> aw
[17:18] <pagore> Hello, guyz, does someone know where i can configure, that when i press CTRL + Middle mouse button to resize my window, where can i change the middle mouse button to right mouse button like in KDE?
[17:19] <ActionParsnip1> !shortcut | pagore
[17:19] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: i have a dell precision m90
[17:20] <donvito-> how to make ipv6 ip addresses on ubuntu?
[17:20] <macman_> intel core 2 duo t7600
[17:20] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: http://www.linlap.com/wiki/dell+precision+m90
[17:20] <stevemc> ActionParsnip1, I had the old sentex down where I could write stanzas from my head, so grub2 throw me fro a loop.
[17:20] <pagore> ubottu: ah there exist an application, ty i will ltry
[17:20] <qt-y> qt-x
[17:20] <ActionParsnip1> stevemc: you can use the original grub if you like
[17:20] <ActionParsnip1> stevemc: i'm unsure how long it will hang around though
[17:21] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: i still can't boot the dvd .. well actually i canboot the dvd i can see the ubuntu loader .. iand i can see all the boot options
[17:21] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: try disabling stuff in the bios to make your system as simple as possible (disable LAN, sound etc) just until you get installed. You may have to use boot options to get the installer running
[17:22] <andyl> is a intel core 2 quad core system with 8GB ram overkill for ubuntu for someone wishing to development in linux ?
[17:22] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: stuff like ACPI, DMA, APIC etc. Disable them all so the installer is as basic as possible
[17:22] <ActionParsnip1> andyl: sounds fine
[17:22] <stevemc> ActionParsnip1, That´s the thing, probalbly not much longer., I learn all the new every time it comes around, like xfree86 to xorg and then /dev/sda to uuid and such so now grub. :-)
[17:23] <ActionParsnip1> stevemc: i admire your mentality :)
[17:23] <andyl> ok
[17:24] <earthian> ok. now i found good old tasksel :)
[17:24] <stevemc> I still can find an answer to why the gdm in 9.10 won let me login while it´s on itś 30 sec pause for my wife´s auto login.
[17:25] <mdg_> anyone done a floppy install?
[17:25] <usr13> mdg_: Not in a LONG time.
[17:25] <stevemc> mdg_, Whatś a floppy? :-)
[17:25] <mdg_> stevemc: LOL!
[17:25] <mdg_> stevemc: its apparently the only thing my Pentium 3 can boot from  :)
[17:26] <lstarnes> mdg_: most modern linux distributions don't even load floppy support by default
[17:26] <lstarnes> mdg_: not even cds?
[17:26] <ActionParsnip1> mdg_: i've seen this: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=50344   a floppy to boot cd when the bios can't boot cd
[17:26] <mka2> stevemc, and if you dont make gdm pause but to autologin straight away?
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> I set the wifes pc to auto login for her.
[17:26] <mdg_> ActionParsnip1: oh I forgot to mention - the cd-drive won't read anymore
[17:26] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: will itbe better to install 8.10 and do a dist-upgrade to jaunty ?
[17:27] <ActionParsnip1> mdg_: god another PC with a PATA/SATA CD Drive you can remove (assuming its a desktop)
[17:27] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: if you like, sure
[17:27] <`mOOse`> is there a function in ubuntu like the "personalconfiguration icon" in SuSe?
[17:27] <stevemc> mka2,  If it´s not set to pause, then you don even see the gdm screen and no other user has a chance to login.
[17:27] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: how long does an upgrade take ?
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> `mOOse`:  no idea what that does
[17:27] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: depends on how many packages need upgrading
[17:28] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: and connection speed
[17:28] <mdg_> ActionParsnip1: LOL - I removed the harddrive the other day, put it in a usb case and installed from my mint computer - messing up grub on both of them LOL
[17:28] <mka2> stevemc, oh, it's a multi-user system?
[17:28] <`mOOse`> Dr_Willis: it sets things like turning the application menu carats on and off
[17:28] <ActionParsnip1> mdg_: can the system boot usb?
[17:28] <mdg_> ActionParsnip1: its a pentium 3
[17:28] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: im gong to do a default install of 8.10 and then do a dist-upgrade .. when i install 8.10 do i just do a dist-upgrade automatically or do i  upgrade packages first
[17:28] <ActionParsnip1> mdg_: doesnt mean the mobo cant boot usb
[17:28] <`mOOse`> which on some apps is turned off, and I would really like to have them on at all times (on a laptop and touchpads suck)
[17:28] <mka2> stevemc, anyway, turn pause off and log in and turn pause on again
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> `mOOse`:  Sounds like many of the unofficial ubuntu-tweak and other similer apps out there
[17:29] <`mOOse`> I wonder if it's in the handicapped stuff
[17:29] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: should be about 45 mins a distro at my guess
[17:29] <`mOOse`> yes Dr_Willis - exactly
[17:29] <mdg_> ActionParsnip1: its sitting at busybox (from the middle of an attempt at debian floppy netistall) at the moment
[17:29] <ActionParsnip1> mdg_: check in the BIOS to see, if not you will need another optical drive from another system (or buy one for less than a pack of smokes)
[17:30] <mdg_> ActionParsnip1: I need fsck or preferrably e2fsck to straighten out the drive before I can mount and fix grub... what a mess
[17:30] <stevemc> Itś for my sweethearts convience, the auto login, but when I use it, I normally set it to pause to give me a chance to login, but I think to new gdm has a bug becuse I see the login square but no box to fill in user name and pass word.
[17:30] <ActionParsnip1> !install | mdg
[17:30] <rysiek|pl> hi all
[17:30] <rysiek|pl> guys, I am trying to debug crashes of karmic on an Asus X59SL.
[17:30] <ActionParsnip1> stevemc: log a bug if you suspect one
[17:31] <mdg_> maybe I can get fsck in tinycore....
[17:31] <lstarnes> stevemc: your keyboard layout appears to be doing weird stuff (like showing "itś" instead of "it's"
[17:31] <rysiek|pl> they are very consistent and happen about 5-15mins after bootup
[17:31] <stevemc> I did that for ubuntuone, and was promtly told it was a repeat of several hundred times over.
[17:32] <rysiek|pl> both in GNOME, and when in root console/single user mode
[17:32] <Aces7825> yo
[17:32] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: so rry to bug you so much .. i actally have an 9.04 ubuntu cd and i think it boots .. if i boot that then do a dist-uprade will it go faster then trying to do a dist upgrade from 8.10 ?
[17:32] <rysiek|pl> in syslog I get two lines of "^@" aout the moment of crash
[17:32] <rysiek|pl> anybody any ideas where to look for more info?
[17:32] <stevemc> lstarnes, It´s a english keyboard set to spanish for my wife, and I forget to type different for english
[17:33] <rysiek|pl> google tells nothing
[17:33] <Gebruiker_> hello, is there a way to regenerate awstats? I added an additional ip filter and I'd like to apply that to the entire logfile.
[17:33] <jangaj> macman : dist upgrade is much much too problematic.  I always suggest a fresh install of the new distro.. if you have had /home in a separate partition, then it is easy to re-install
[17:33] <stevemc> ñ¿?¡!
[17:33] <PureEvilGeek> can ubuntu (9.04 to be exact) read freebsd file systems?
[17:33] <pagore> ubottu: this application didnt work, its only good for multimedia buttons :(, i just wanted to change the middle mouse button to righ mouse button when i resize my window in GNOME
[17:33] <macman_> im gonna burn 9.04
[17:33] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: sure, les jumps to make
[17:34] <jebblue> jangaj I've upgraded several machines here from 7.04 to 7.10 to 8.04 to 8.10 to 9.04 to 9.10 and none have home on a separate partition and all has gone well but that's my milage :)
[17:34] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: what fs does it use?
[17:34] <PureEvilGeek> ActionParsnip1: i believe it is ufs (unix file system)
[17:34] <jangaj> jebblue-> you are one of the lucky few,  hang around and you'd observed of the dist upgrade complaints
[17:35] <pagore> Hello, guyz, does someone know where i can configure, that when i press CTRL + Middle mouse button to resize my window, where can i change the middle mouse button to right mouse button like in KDE? My Laptop has no middle mouse button!
[17:35] <`mOOse`> Dr_Willis: I think it's in assistive technologies in preferences - I'm messin with it now - if I start typing in korean or russian, you know I got the settings a little wrong ;-)
[17:35] <`mOOse`> pagore:  - I was just talking about that
[17:35] <pagore> m00se: have you found a solution? :)
[17:36] <jacksonpan> hi, everyone, is there an ubuntu mobile phone?
[17:36] <`mOOse`> pagore: Try System/Preferences/Assistive Technologies - it's probably in there, but beyond that I don't know exactly
[17:36] <peter__> hi
[17:36] <`mOOse`> I want ALL apps to have the menu carats available, so I don't have to use the mouse to choose them
[17:36] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/bsd-17/mount-ufs-partitions-not-slices-from-linux-etcfstab-425047/#post2217856    has an fstab example, you can also use the entry rearranged to form a mount command'
[17:36] <`mOOse`> PITA
[17:36] <pagore> m00se: Ty :)   ill find it!
[17:36] <`mOOse`> gl
[17:37] <ActionParsnip1> `mOOse`: somecommands likemncoder wont have full mouse use, the options are so vast
[17:38] <jebblue> m00se: system | prefs | appearance | interface | menus and toolbars?
[17:40] <sixtila> rhythmbox error!
[17:40] <sixtila> ** (rhythmbox:5749): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed
[17:40] <`mOOse`> I want the opposite ActionParsnip1...I'd like all apps to have the ALT-Key combo to be underlined so when you choose, the menu for that corresponding set of command drops down, like in all the default gnome pgms like Terminal, etc...you know, if you hit ALT-F in Terminal you get the File menu etc...not all pgms do it and I want them to be able to
[17:40] <Guest172> some one uses ktechlab?
[17:40] <`mOOse`> jebblue: no, in preference/assistive technologies (at least in karmic)
[17:41] <ActionParsnip1> `mOOse`: gotcha, i figured they'd all use alt+f as you say
[17:41] <`mOOse`> not all of them no unfortunately...I think it might be hard-coded into each app, and some pgmers don't see the need I guess
[17:41] <ActionParsnip1> `mOOse`: makes sense to have a common menu call, oh well.
[17:42] <`mOOse`> on a laptop (and I admit I prefer the keys over the mouse anyways - old DOS/Unix guy here) it's a PITA to use the touchpad
[17:42] <ActionParsnip1> `mOOse`: submit it on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com
[17:42] <zagnut> hello!
[17:42] <zagnut> quick question about installation
[17:42] <ActionParsnip1> `mOOse`: i use cli more so dont use guis so much
[17:42] <PureEvilGeek> lol i really didn't expect this to be an issue in any way
[17:42] <ActionParsnip1> zagnut: ask away
[17:43] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: seems to be a recognised fs to the kernel
[17:43] <zagnut> I haven't even downloaded the past two releases, but I was using ubuntu nonstop for about 4 years through high school. If I were to buy a PC with Win7 on it, could I have ubuntu non-destructively shrink the windows 7 partition and setup dualboot?
[17:43] <zagnut> or do I have to do that manually still?
[17:43] <PureEvilGeek> ActionParsnip1 yeah just trying to do it from the GUI isn't permitted it looks like.
[17:43] <zagnut> repartitioning
[17:43] <oCean_> sixtila: there's a bug entry for that at LP: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/482820
[17:43] <`mOOse`> sure zagnut easy
[17:43] <subbuteo> help italy please
[17:43] <`mOOse`> highly recommended :-)
[17:44] <guntbert> !it | subbuteo
[17:44] <zagnut> `mOOse`: so the installer does it for you?
[17:44] <zagnut> awesome :)
[17:44] <zagnut> *downloading the latest releast*
[17:44] <zagnut> *release
[17:44] <zagnut> wait, should I download the latest, or the latest LTS?
[17:44] <`mOOse`> weeellll....I would read up on dual booting if I were you but it's common, and the tools are easy to use
[17:45] <zagnut> I'm honestly not looking for latest/greatest anymore, I'm in school full-time and working. I don't have time to just fiddle with linux anymor
[17:45] <air_> hi all, is there ubuntu x86_64 distro in the wild?
[17:45] <PureEvilGeek> ActionParsnip1 scsi disks are called what in /dev ?
[17:45] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: you'll need to run the gui with gksudo, i'd add anentry in fstab to automount it
[17:45] <guntbert> !dualboot | zagnut
[17:45] <`mOOse`> zagnut: yer in the right channel (ubuntu) but now you have to decide - gnome or kde...that's the $100 question ;-)
[17:45] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: sudo fdisk -l    will tell you
[17:45] <PureEvilGeek> anentry?
[17:45] <Maximillion> What java package is recommended for ubuntu?
[17:45] <zagnut> actually, I'll probably just install a server CLI environment
[17:45] <ActionParsnip1> `mOOse`: i choose LXDE so choose neither, do I get $50
[17:46] <zagnut> and then install a lightweight fluxbox environment
[17:46] <`mOOse`> lol - NOH!
[17:46] <`mOOse`> you have to leave now!
[17:46] <`mOOse`> ;-)
[17:46] <zagnut> `mOOse`: lxde would work took
[17:46] <zagnut> *too
[17:46] <zagnut> I have to leave?
[17:46] <ActionParsnip1> !lubuntu
[17:46] <w1cked> how to purge fonts cache?
[17:46] <zagnut> wait, real fast, x86 vs x64?
[17:46] <ActionParsnip1> `mOOse`: :D
[17:46] <`mOOse`> notice the smile on my face eh? ;-)
[17:46] <PureEvilGeek> ActionParsnip1: this mount will only be in there for 2 minutes then i'm putting another one on. I can make it so the GUI can auto mount ufs whenever I put a disk in that is that format?
[17:47] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: the gconf should mount it, or you will av to manually mount again
[17:47] <adalal> hello all, i dont seem to be able to connect to keyserver.ubuntu.com from this one computer, any ideas why?
[17:47] <ActionParsnip1> zagnut: its not clean cut like that
[17:47] <PureEvilGeek> ActionParsnip1: lol so you know i know nothing about any of this:)
[17:47] <air_> seems like ubuntu x86_64 is inexistent
[17:47] <oCean_> air_: what?
[17:48] <Bax> I'm trying to backup my system settings and move them to another harddrive.  I plan to cp my entire /home folder, but should I also cp my /usr folder too?
[17:48] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: use pgp.mit.edu   instead
[17:48] <ActionParsnip1> air_: sure it does
[17:48] <zagnut> ActionParsnip1: what are you talking about? not clean cut?
[17:48] <w1cked> my fonts became awuful.. I used FF to browse web sites and tried some fonts instead of UnDotum... now I turned it back to UnDotum, but sites became awufull and terrible! help me please
[17:48] <air_> ActionParsnip1: could you point to it?
[17:48] <adalal> ActionParsnip1: i'm trying to use add-apt-repository :P
[17:48] <ActionParsnip1> air_: http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download
[17:49] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: i always add the repo in sources.list then use the right command to import the key
[17:49] <sixtila> is this repository safe to have deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic main universe
[17:49] <guntbert> adalal: if the keyserver is unresponsive you can use any other as well - try http://pgp.mit.edu/
[17:49] <air_> ActionParsnip1: i see only i386 variant there
[17:49] <oCean_> air_: then click "alterntive download options"
[17:49] <ActionParsnip1> air_: the alternative download options allows 64bit
[17:49] <air_> oops
[17:49] <ActionParsnip1> air_: oops indeed ;)
[17:49] <adalal> ActionParsnip1, guntbert: i dont mind using that, but why is my computer in the entire network the only one not accessing that server?
[17:49] <marek9469> siema
[17:49] <`mOOse`> we see a lot of that in here ;-
[17:49] <Bac9> how can I open a msft powerpoint presentation in ooimpress without having it autostart and grab keyboard/mouse?
[17:49] <`mOOse`> ;-)
[17:50] <oCean_> !pl | marek9469
[17:50] <zagnut> yeah, I know where it is
[17:50] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: you asked ealier and I have no idea based on what you reported from the tests
[17:50] <scunizi> Bac9: save the file .. open OOimpress.. then File/open..
[17:50] <zagnut> but is 64-bit ubuntu even worth it?
[17:50] <guntbert> adalal: thats "a very good question" (TM)
[17:50] <Bac9> scunizi: it still autostarts the slideshow
[17:50] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: and the best way to do a dist ugrade is apt-get -u distupgrade ?
[17:51] <ActionParsnip1> zagnut: if you use more than 3Gb ram and do lots of audio / video converting then yes, if you just webborwse ad chat then not really and you can install pae to access more ram
[17:51] <macman_> see 9.0.4 works fine
[17:51] <adalal> lol
[17:51] <scunizi> Bac9: then check the options in OOImpress to see if it's set to autostart. mine doesn't act that way
[17:51] <ActionParsnip1> !upgrade | macman_
[17:51] <uros> hi all! was trying to fix non-functioning microphone on asus by installing "linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic
[17:51] <Bac9> scunizi: I can't seem to find that option, can you direct me to the proper location?
[17:51] <uros> now speaker also doesnt work
[17:51] <PureEvilGeek> is there any reason that ubuntu is compiled with read only support for ufs ?
[17:51] <uros> how do i reverse this?
[17:52] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: use better mount options
[17:52] <switch10_> uros: did you uninstall it?
[17:52] <bastid_raZor> uros: uninstall the same package you installed?
[17:52] <kostkon> uros, or better, check your hardware volume levels
[17:52] <uros> i can uninstall but still doesnt work
[17:52] <MrKeuner> Hi, I think there is a problem with launchpad, i cannot flag a bug as "that does not affect me", I get an error
[17:52] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: so remember im going to go straigt from 9.0.4 to 9.10 without installing anything .. will that mess anything up ? or should i install video etc .. and then upgrade .. sorry for the n00b question
[17:52] <PureEvilGeek> ActionParsnip1 what do you mean? i'm looking through dmesg and its telling me that ufs was compiled with read-only support.
[17:52] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/6523/
[17:53] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: sure you can do that
[17:53] <zagnut> ActionParsnip1: it's going to be a lenovo with 4gb of ram
[17:53] <uros> have a feeling i replacen something, but i don't know what
[17:53] <kostkon> uros, install "gnome-alsamixer"
[17:53] <switch10_> uros: type alsamixer into the terminal and adjust the volume
[17:53] <zagnut> what's the opinion of the room of a lenovo SL410?
[17:53] <Aces7824> helo
[17:53] <zagnut> it's their SL series, not their R or T series
[17:53] <air_> ActionParsnip1: are those images bootable from flashdisk also?
[17:53] <ActionParsnip1> zagnut: then 64bit will make the ram all one block, 32bit can be run ut you will need a PAE enabled kernel which can be installed later to access all the ram
[17:54] <ActionParsnip1> air_: there are tools to put the image on flash to install
[17:54] <air_> nice
[17:54] <Bac9> scunizi: it is really annoying me and I can't find a way to turn it off, even if I select the end slideshow option then it just closes ooimpress, and the same thing for every powerpoint document
[17:54] <guntbert> zagnut: hardware opinions - please not here
[17:54] <bastid_raZor> zagnut: honestly, this laptop has 3GB of RAM and i've never even come close to using more than 1.5GB..
[17:54] <ActionParsnip1> air_: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-904-persistent-install-windows/
[17:54] <ActionParsnip1> air_: works with lucid too
[17:54] <zagnut> ActionParsnip1: so 64-bit?
[17:54] <zagnut> and 32-bit apps run without intervention like on windows now right?
[17:55] <ActionParsnip1> zagnut: sure, its eqaully supported
[17:55] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: if you want to compile a kernel for write access I'm sure its possible
[17:55] <adalal> ActionParsnip1, guntbert: can't import from there either :S timed out as well when i used 'sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 28CBC482'
[17:55] <kaimerra> Does Evolution support MIME digests?
[17:55] <Out_Cold> so a persistent usb can boot on any machine? or only the machine it was created on??
[17:56] <adalal> Out_Cold: any compatible machine
[17:56] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: you can manually download the key and import it
[17:56] <donvito-> were i can get amsn for ubuntu
[17:56] <Out_Cold> adalal, compatible as in hardware that is supported on the live cd?
[17:56] <qt-x> and that can boot usb :D
[17:56] <`mOOse`> air_:  I'm using a flash install of karmic right now as I type to you - works great with the persistent install (the 2nd of 2 steps to install on a pendrive)
[17:56] <chris_> In the software installation menu..
[17:56] <adalal> Out_Cold: yes
[17:56] <guntbert> adalal: you'll have to use port 11371
[17:56] <`mOOse`> that url ActionParsnip1 pasted tells you all you need to know about installing it
[17:56] <Out_Cold> !usb > Out_Cold
[17:56] <`mOOse`> it roxors!
[17:56] <scunizi> Bac9: have you tried Esc?
[17:57] <oCean_> !info amsn | donvito-
[17:57] <air_> `mOOse`: it's not about flash-bootable installation
[17:57] <adalal> guntbert: how do you set that?
[17:57] <PureEvilGeek> ActionParsnip1: Ill go a different path before that:)
[17:57] <air_> i just want to install from flash disk
[17:57] <ActionParsnip1> air_: do you have a windows system?
[17:57] <air_> no
[17:57] <adalal> guntbert: for some reason, i dont think i can connect to that port from here for some reason
[17:57] <Bac9> scunizi: Esc also closes ooimpress
[17:57] <`mOOse`> oh, FROM a flash - yea you can do that too
[17:58] <guntbert> adalal: that might be the main issue - but for once you can d/l a key from there via the web interface
[17:58] <`mOOse`> that util ActionParsnip1 pasted basically puts the entire cd on your flash and gives you a menu that invokes the installer
[17:58] <ActionParsnip1> air_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Copy files to USB stick
[17:58] <air_> thank you
[17:58] <scunizi> Bac9: is this with just one file or all files..?
[17:59] <ActionParsnip1> air_: or you can use unetbootin
[17:59] <Bac9> scunizi: with any msft powerpoint file...
[17:59] <adalal> guntbert: i just did a search string on the mit php public key server, it keeps saying 'connecting' and never connects, which is why i think it really can't connect to that port for some reason :S
[17:59] <`mOOse`> yea, I kinda assumed you had a mswindows available too :-(
[17:59] <uros> hi all  ~- tnx for before.
[17:59] <`mOOse`> sry hehe
[17:59] <Wunderbar> been using mplayer in terminal to stream radio which works well but for some unknown reason stops playing. any idea why?
[17:59] <scunizi> Bac9: you might ask on the OO channel.. #openoffice.org
[17:59] <Bac9> scunizi: I've tried 5+ files, all the same behaviour
[17:59] <uros> now problem - internal microphone does not work on asus eee 1101ha
[17:59] <uros> any ideas?
[17:59] <Bac9> scunizi: I tried the OO channel, noone there replies
[18:00] <arreche> where is udisks package?
[18:00] <guntbert> adalal: so we assume some sort of network misconfiguration somewhere
[18:00] <scunizi> Bac9: timing is everything.. lots of those folks helping there are continental europeans
[18:01] <PureEvilGeek> ActionParsnip1: ah got it working, ufs support is in a module instead of in the kernel or... something lol
[18:01] <PureEvilGeek> thank you for your help.
[18:01] <Bac9> scunizi: hence it should be evening for them now... I've tried for several days... still nothing
[18:01] <scunizi> Bac9: sorry don't know what to tell you..
[18:02] <Bac9> scunizi: thank you for trying
[18:02] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: cool
[18:03] <ubuntu__> ok
[18:03] <ubuntu__> hi guys
[18:04] <ubuntu__> how do i install programs on my live cd
[18:04] <PureEvilGeek> now i'm going to spend a few hours figuring out what file system has what content:(
[18:04] <guntbert> adalal: did you check your settings for network proxy?
[18:05] <adalal> guntbert: yeah, someone else on the network, put a block on it for soem reason... sorry for botherin u guys with that :P
[18:06] <siddhi> hi
[18:06] <siddhi> adalal
[18:06] <adalal> guntbert: it was part of the torrent blocking shecule
[18:06] <guntbert> adalal: np - it often helps just to voice the problem :-)
[18:06] <adalal> hello siddhi
[18:06] <siddhi> whats gng on?
[18:07] <adalal> do i know you
[18:07] <adalal> ?
[18:07] <oCean_> !remaster | ubuntu__ mean this?
[18:07] <siddhi> no
[18:07] <siddhi> just as such
[18:07] <MindVirus> Hello. My system swaps very often with 1GB memory and minimal usage. Any advice?
[18:07] <MindVirus> Bootup memory usage is 600MB.
[18:07] <siddhi> ok ur frm
[18:07] <siddhi> ?
[18:08] <oCean_> siddhi: this is ubuntu support channel - not chat
[18:08] <siddhi> ny 1 saw
[18:08] <Out_Cold> ubuntu__, you can install programs through the terminal with apt-get or aptitude or on the desktop with synaptic. BUT it will only remain until you reboot
[18:08] <Wunderbar> been using mplayer in terminal to stream radio which works well but for some unknown reason stops playing. any idea why?
[18:08] <guntbert> !ot | siddhi
[18:08] <siddhi> i have a prob
[18:09] <kinja-sheep> ubuntu__: Open a terminal and "sudo aptitude install gbrainy" --> You'll see a new game added in Games section.
[18:09] <siddhi> my rediff bol not running
[18:09] <bastid_raZor> MindVirus: change your swappiness?
[18:09] <MindVirus> bastid_raZor: How?
[18:09] <adalal> siddhi: rediff bol is not an ubuntu issue
[18:09] <MindVirus> bastid_raZor: What will this do?
[18:09] <jenia> hey guys
[18:09] <bastid_raZor> MindVirus: it will swap less and use your actual RAM instead.
[18:10] <MindVirus> bastid_raZor: Why isn't this enabled by default?
[18:10] <jenia> I have set up an apache server on my machine
[18:10] <bastid_raZor> MindVirus: it is.. it is a setting you can change up and down.
[18:10] <bastid_raZor> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq MindVirus about 3/4 down the page
[18:10] <jenia> however, the websites dont display the images
[18:10] <mka2> what tv tuner card should I buy for use in ubuntu?
[18:11] <bastid_raZor> !hardware | mka2 find a suitable card here
[18:11] <mka2> thanks, bastid_raZor
[18:11] <bastid_raZor> mka2: good luck.
[18:11] <arreche> where is udisks package?
[18:11] <szaki> jest kots?
[18:11] <szaki> ktos
[18:11] <oCean_> !pl | szaki
[18:12] <bastid_raZor> arreche: you could search on packages.ubuntu.com
[18:13] <arreche> bastid_raZor: thanks but it is not there
[18:13] <rysiek|pl> guys, need some help editing grub2 configuration
[18:14] <oCean_> arreche: what are you looking for exactly? Not sure what you mean by udisks package..
[18:14] <bastid_raZor> arreche: then possibly it is referred to by something else. where are you getting the name udisks from?
[18:14] <rysiek|pl> I would like to remove a few stanzas, leave only the *current* kernel for Ubuntu and one stanza for (shudder) Vista
[18:14] <rysiek|pl> can't find anything in the docs
[18:15] <bastid_raZor> rysiek|pl: you can uninstall older kernels and they will be removed automatically.
[18:15] <arreche> DeviceKit-disks has been renamed to udisks
[18:15] <xeer> I am wonder how to trim an audio clip in Traverso, any hints?
[18:15] <xeer> wondering*
[18:15] <bastid_raZor> arreche: yeah but that info you have is it from a Ubuntu site?
[18:16] <tilt> hello
[18:16] <oCean_> !info devicekit-disks | arreche this one?
[18:16] <tilt> is there, after deinstalling cpufreqd and powernowd, any program that automatically sets cpufreq governors and min./max. frequency values? when I set 800-2500mhz it is immediately set back to 800-800.
[18:16] <rysiek|pl> bastid_raZor: what about memtest, etc?
[18:16] <tilt> this happened after dist-upgrade to karmic koala
[18:17] <tilt> currently I am trying out more recent kernels, such as 2.6.32
[18:17] <MindVirus> bastid_raZor: How do I change swappiness?
[18:17] <trism> rysiek|pl: to remove memtest, sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+, then sudo update-grub;
[18:17] <arreche> yes
[18:17] <trism> rysiek|pl: or you could uninstall the memtest86+ package if you really don't want it
[18:17] <rysiek|pl> trism: great, thanks
[18:18] <arreche> I need udisks package to compile gnome-disk-utility
[18:18] <bastid_raZor> MindVirus: it shows directly on that page. did you read it?
[18:18] <bastid_raZor> rysiek|pl: you're on karmic?
[18:18] <rysiek|pl> bastid_raZor: aye
[18:18] <oCean_> arreche: guess that in 9.10 it's still the old (?) naming: devicekit-disks
[18:18] <MindVirus> bastid_raZor: I apologize; I didn't see your link.
[18:18] <arreche> that is oCean_
[18:18] <bastid_raZor> !grub2 | rysiek|pl .. howto edit the grub options is here.
[18:19] <bastid_raZor> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq MindVirus
[18:19] <rysiek|pl> bastid_raZor: thanks a bunch!
[18:19] <MindVirus> bastid_raZor: Yeah, I saw it once you told me. Sorry. :(
[18:19] <bastid_raZor> rysiek|pl: grub2 is very different from grub.. not as easy to manipulate.
[18:19] <lafleur-> when i try to connect from another pc in my ubuntu it says connection refused
[18:19] <bastid_raZor> lafleur-: how are you trying to connect? ssh?
[18:20] <lafleur-> yes
[18:20] <nh2> should 3d with the radeon driver work on a karmic box just out of the box?
[18:20] <bastid_raZor> lafleur-: on your ubuntu box do you have openssh-server installed?
[18:21] <lafleur-> yes
[18:21] <lafleur-> i do
[18:21] <rysiek|pl> bastid_raZor: yeah, noticed; in grub I could do almost anything, here I have serious problems with basic stuff
[18:21] <bastid_raZor> lafleur-: are youtrying to connect from inside the network or from over the internet?
[18:21] <rysiek|pl> bastid_raZor: but I do see the pros of it - graphical boot, for example
[18:22] <microhaxo> Holy hell, using powertop my battery goes from 6 hours and 5 min to 7 hours and 20 min!!!!
[18:23] <lafleur-> im behind firewall too
[18:23] <Out_Cold> i haven't played too much with grub2 yet.... haven't had anything break on me needing fixes
[18:23] <lafleur-> so does that mean somtething
[18:23] <microhaxo> I wish i could make a script that would do all the needed changes so that i could just execute it upon boot, but it doesnt hurt to just run powertop each time.
[18:23] <bastid_raZor> lafleur-: you need to forward port 22, and also your isp might possibly block 22. in that case you need to use a different port all together. which is easy to do.
[18:24] <Rob215> Hi
[18:24] <Out_Cold> !hi | Rob215
[18:24] <bastid_raZor> lafleur-: if you're behind a router you'll need to portforward 22 to your ubuntu internal ip.
[18:24] <Bubbadood> sorry stupid question how do i save a terminal log in Ubuntu 9.10
[18:24] <lafleur-> yes ill change from the config right
[18:24] <lafleur-> ?
[18:24] <Bubbadood> or turrn on logging if that is what is needed first
[18:25] <bastid_raZor> lafleur-: changing the port yes.. /etc/ssh/sshd_config for the port change
[18:25] <Out_Cold> Bubbadood, there are lots of logs in /var/log
[18:26] <lafleur-> how to restart sshd
[18:26] <kosmaty> x
[18:26] <xeer> try `/etc/init.d/ssh restart` as root
[18:26] <lafleur-> !sshd restart
[18:26] <bastid_raZor> lafleur-: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[18:27] <guntbert> Bubbadood: look at .bash_history
[18:27] <trism> Bubbadood: if you need to log a terminal session for some specific purpose, you could use script, and it will log everything to a file called typescript until you type exit
[18:28] <Bubbadood> thanks guys .... exactly what I needed
[18:28] <lafleur-> when i try to add ip adress on port forwarding on my router it says  Invalid IP Adress it should be set within current subnet
[18:28] <lafleur-> if i want on my router all ips to listen the port how can i do that
[18:28] <lafleur-> by adding 255.255.255.0
[18:28] <lafleur-> ?
[18:28]  * Pelo needs help with ssh-keypairs
[18:29] <Pelo> lafleur-, you might have better luck with that question in #networking
[18:30] <guntbert> lafleur-: its ##networking
[18:30] <lafleur-> ok
[18:30] <lafleur-> but no one answers that
[18:30] <Pelo> lafleur-, you can only add ports for ips within your router's range,  often shows as   192.168.0.100 to ..... 199, or  start with ... 100 for 100 ip oa something like that
[18:31] <Pelo> lafleur-, but in anycase you should only be forwarding ports to the ip of your computer not to blocks
[18:31] <`mOOse`> lafleur-: what ip?
[18:31] <Pelo> lafleur-, ps ,  that range is also called DHCP
[18:31]  * tilt builds ppa 2.6.32 with acpi debgging ...
[18:31] <tilt> hrm
[18:32] <bbrooks> I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu Partition installed as dual boot, when booted into ubuntu is there any way to run my Windows 7 partition virtually?
[18:32] <Pelo> lafleur-, http://portforward.com/ check that site out for instructions on forwarding on your router
[18:32] <microhaxo> Ok, so i just Enabled Laptop mode in Ubuntu 9.10  It says that it causes hangups on some machines. Is it a good idea that i enabled this?
[18:32] <bbrooks> was wondering if Virtual Box will allow me to do so
[18:32] <tilt> is there a developer channel?
[18:32] <Pelo> bbrooks, you'd need the non free version of vbox or vmware, but it's doable with some work
[18:33] <Pelo> tilt, if you have to ask you don'T belong there
[18:33] <bbrooks> Pelo, ok cool..thats what I thought
[18:33] <scunizi> Pelo: aren't those port ranges displayed in most routers for the range of address that dhcp will provide addresses to?  the 255.255.255.0 actually determins the total number of addresses.. so you could assign a static ip outside the range of what's listed in the router but inside the range determined by the subnet mask?
[18:33] <tilt> Pelo: hmm
[18:33] <scunizi> Pelo .. port ranges=ip ranges
[18:33] <tilt> that's not very open-minded
[18:33] <Pelo> scunizi, no
[18:34] <tilt> is it secret? :D
[18:35] <Pelo> tilt, there is a difference of purpose between  devellopers channels and support channels, we don'T want ppl seeking help in a  developer channel, it's nto the place for it , no matter how special your problem is , so if you don'T know how to get to a developper channel chances are you have no business there
[18:35] <tilt> Pelo: I need help fixing a bug in ubuntu karmic on phenom cpus regarding ACPI ;)
[18:36] <Pelo> !bugs > tilt
[18:36] <tilt> Pelo: you have anything to say about that?
[18:36] <tilt> obviously not
[18:36] <tilt> and now shush
[18:36] <scunizi> Pelo: that's the way it works in my linksys.. I've limited the number of dhcp'd IP addresses for my network to 20 so the range shown is 100 through 119.. I can still assign static addresses from .002 - 254 excluding the dhcp range
[18:37] <tdizzle86> Hello, can anyone tell me a good 802.11n wireless adapter to use for ubuntu 64bit?
[18:37] <Balsaq> does itunes work in ubuntu?
[18:38] <Pelo> scunizi, but the ips you are sing be them outside the dhcp range are still withing the same "family"  you can't use a  234.124.3.345 ip if your range start with  192.168 ....
[18:38] <musikgoat> Balsaq: not natively, but it apparently runs in wine

[18:40] <Gianpon> hi everyone, I update to karmic but now it's all messy, what should I do?
[18:41] <Pelo> `mOOse`, thanks, it's been a while ...
[18:41] <Gianpon> I tried almost any apt-get command, but everything fail

[18:41] <sam_sam> ubottu i want your source code
[18:41] <Balsaq> Giapon go back to 904
[18:41] <joshua__> lol at sam_sam
[18:41] <Gianpon> Balsaq: How?
[18:41] <Pelo> Gianpon, what do you mean by messy ?
[18:41] <Balsaq> delete partiton and reinstall
[18:42] <Gianpon> Pelo: I mean that i cannot use properly the keyboard
[18:42] <joshua__> !danger
[18:42] <liar> how do i find out which driverversion(wacom) is preinstalled?
[18:42] <`mOOse`> !!!@@!!!
[18:42] <joshua__> too many dunces have 1 partition these days
[18:42] <starm88> Go back and make sure you picked the right keyboard.
[18:42] <Pelo> Gianpon, have you tried, checking the keyboards settings in the gnome-control-center ?
[18:42] <guntbert> Balsaq: don't give such advice
[18:42] <Balsaq> ok?
[18:42] <sam_sam> where can i get the source code of this bot ??
[18:42] <campee> i have a 32-bit ubuntu 9.10 install where i'm running the following kernel: 2.6.31-16-generic-pae #53-Ubuntu SMP. i can still only see 3.5GB of RAM. i thought the PAE kernel was supposed to fix that?
[18:43] <musikgoat> !ubottu
[18:43] <Pelo> guntbert, actualy it's not bad advice,  if he can'T get it working properly a clean install will solve all problems
[18:43] <Gianpon> Pelo: is not that, if i try to update my packages errors comes out from everywhere

[18:43] <ardian> Hi any Hamachi users here ? how do i know what's my IP in hamachi im running hamachi on ubuntu so its terminal based
[18:43] <Balsaq> Gianpon maybe you slected the wrong counrty when you set up the keyboard?
[18:43] <musikgoat> sam_sam: https://code.launchpad.net/~tsimpson/ubuntu-bots/tweak
[18:43] <guntbert> Pelo: but please not as first measure without any investigation
[18:44] <musikgoat> ardian: run hamachi list
[18:44] <Gianpon> Balsaq: I suppose is not that, the arrows are gone, and these are equal everywhere
[18:44] <jebblue> joshua__ I use 1 on multiple computers - have for years. i also have automated backups - multiple partitions were needed in the old old days, with backups, not needed any more IMO
[18:44] <joshua__> campee: many vendors used to cell 4gb ram on machines with half a GB of video ram on motherboards that supported 4gb total and then blaimed it on a restriction of Windows x86 (which wasn't even true)
[18:44] <Balsaq> guntbert thats what i did when i had trouble
[18:44] <Pelo> Gianpon, how did you go about performing the upgrade ?
[18:44] <guntbert> !wfm | Balsaq
[18:44] <campee> joshua__: i have installed 64-bit operating systems on this hardware and have been able to see the full 5GB of RAM that is installed in the machine

[18:44] <lafleur-> how to push out an user from my ubuntu?
[18:45] <musikgoat> ardian: check ifconfig to see if you have a ham interface
[18:45] <crawler> hello.  does anyone know how to play .mo3 files?  they are like .mod, .it, and .xm files.  chiptunes, basically
[18:45] <ardian> hmm good idea
[18:45] <Pelo> lafleur-, francais ?
[18:45] <Gianpon> Pelo: finally after a freeze and some recovery I updated to karmic as suggested by the system itself (:p)
[18:45] <Pelo> Gianpon, how did you perform this upgrade ?
[18:45] <ardian> musikgoat,  yes it works thanks
[18:45] <joshua__> and my problem, how should I clean up after a mistaken eqv of chown -R root /
[18:45] <musikgoat> ardian: cool
[18:45] <musikgoat> ardian: but if you are not joined to a group, your not going to get very far
[18:46] <Gianpon> Pelo:  many ways, first the apt-get dist-upgrade
[18:46] <Gianpon> Pelo: then the gui tool, that of the automatic update
[18:46] <Pelo> Gianpon, ok  if you messed up the upgrade that badly , a clean install is your better solution, is your /home folder on a seperate partiton ?
[18:47] <lafleur-> how to delete user from ubuntu
[18:47] <joshua__> campee: hmmm
[18:47] <`mOOse`> lafleur-: man deluser
[18:47] <Gianpon> Pelo: yes, it is, but I'd like to do some backup first, and I'm short of external drive right now
[18:48] <ardian> i know musikgoat  : )
[18:48] <Gianpon> Pelo: Is there any "simple" way to try an autofix?
[18:48] <joshua__> Pelo, it depends on how destructive you want to be
[18:48] <jebblue> lafleur or system | admin | users and groups?
[18:48] <Pelo> Gianpon, if your /home is on a seperate partitons  the easiet way is to clean install , and I can give you a set of commands that will allow you to restore all your installed progs in one command
[18:48] <joshua__> you see if Gianpon boots from external media, removes everything but /home, and reinstalls it should have the same effect
[18:48] <`mOOse`> that'll work too
[18:49] <mka2> lafleur-: sudo userdel username
[18:49] <joshua__> ever get the message apt-get is missing. you can install it by running apt-get install apt
[18:49] <Gianpon> Pelo: that's because i had some tunes-up to some programs and so... I fear of losing something
[18:50] <lafleur-> ipv6 on ubuntu?
[18:50] <Gianpon> Pelo: anyway, how can i restore all in one command?
[18:50] <ganymede> is there command that i can pipe a command to to get the output of my command into my X clipboard for pasting? e.g. cat "myfile" > copy-to-clipboard
[18:51] <Pelo> Gianpon, all the users prog settings are save on the /home folder ,  if you do a clean instal , and give your same username and password , during the install,  when you first reboot you should findyourself in a desktop that looks exactly like the one before,  with the possible execption of a few apps that arenT, INSTALLED yet
[18:51] <mka2> joshua__: your system is broken
[18:51] <Dr_Willis> ganymede:  there are such commands.. but i dont recall their names
[18:51] <Pelo> Gianpon,  you can duplicate your packages setup by using
[18:51] <Pelo>  dpkg --get-selections > mypackages
[18:51] <Pelo> on the laptop, copying that file to the desktop (after a base install) and doing
[18:51] <Pelo> dpkg --set-selections < mypackages && apt-get dselect-upgrade
[18:51] <FloodBot2> Pelo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:51] <ganymede> Dr_Willis, yeah, i sohuld have googled..."xclip"
[18:52] <kymara> hi, is there any version of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick which is written more clearly, perhaps one for 'dummies' ?
[18:52] <oCean_> ganymede: also: xsel
[18:52] <jebblue> you can also use Synaptic GUI to work with packages
[18:52] <johannes_> Hello!
[18:53] <Gianpon> Pelo: but I suppose that will restore my packages and not my app data. Am I wrong
[18:53] <Gianpon> Pelo: ?
[18:53] <Pelo> hold on , i'nm on the phone
[18:53] <Gianpon> Pelo: ok
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> kymara:  download iso. download unetbootin.. run unetbootin.. tell it the info.. make bootable usb drive...
[18:53] <bronzii> anyone familiar with mathematica?
[18:53] <sam_sam> :( i am as intelligent as the ubottu bot.. could not navigate to its code
[18:54] <bastid_raZor> Gianpon: correct, that will install the packages only, the data you speak of is in your /home/gianpon  ..
[18:54] <PrototypeX29A> mathematics is this thing with numbers and crosses and stuff, isn't it?
[18:54] <kymara> Dr_Willis: thanks but i am no more confident
[18:54] <johannes_> some one the can help me with an upgrading of my ubuntu?
[18:54] <oCean_> sam_sam: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[18:54] <Dr_Willis> kymara:  whatever then.. thers info at pendrivelinux.com also.
[18:55] <lstarnes> sam_sam: try http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~tsimpson/ubuntu-bots/tweak/files
[18:55] <crawler> Does anyone know how to play tracker music (.mo3 .it .mod .xm) music in Ubuntu?
[18:55] <kymara> Dr_Willis: i just want to install dual boot ubuntu on my netbook and it says i need to use the usb stck instructions
[18:55] <sam_sam> i m there but cant find code.. can u give exact link ?
[18:55] <johannes_> install vlc media player
[18:55] <musikgoat> sam_sam: I already did https://code.launchpad.net/~tsimpson/ubuntu-bots/tweak
[18:55] <mka2> crawler, doesnt vlc or mplayer work?
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> kymara:  make a bootable flash drive using unetbootin and the UNR or normal ubuntu iso file, and boot it. and use the installer.  It should resize the HD as needed and install.
[18:56] <Gianpon> bastid_raZor: You're right, but i have some editing in config files, and something else...
[18:56] <crawler> mka2: hmm... ill will try the vlc
[18:56] <mka2> crawler, sudo apt-get install vlc mplayer ubuntu-restricted-extras w32codecs
[18:56] <bastid_raZor> Gianpon: you would need to manually save those that are not in your /home
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> kymara:  thers alterantive guides for making a bootable flash drive at  the pendrivelinux.com site also. and other tutorials.
[18:57] <crawler> mka2: i have it installd already..but it won't play .mo3 files :-(
[18:57] <kymara> ok thanks Dr_Willis i will try reading those too before i start
[18:57] <musikgoat> !bzr | sam_sam
[18:57] <bastid_raZor> Gianpon: and honestly, when upgrading to a different version it is best to just redo the configurations as some things depreciate and older config files contain things not needed
[18:57] <Pelo> Gianpon, that set of command is to backup a list of the packages you have installed on your computer and then use that list to reinstall those packages ,  your application data,  your settings and your files are generaly saved to your /home/username folder,  so if you don'T delete/partition/format/overwrite your /home partiton all your data/settings/info/etc will be safe and available again once all the programs/packages/apps are reinstall
[18:57] <Pelo> ed , as if you had never left
[18:58] <crawler> mka2: in windows i was using XMPlay, but it does not work so well in wine
[18:58] <Pelo> Gianpon, that is unless you tinkered with your comp in such a way that your data is saved somewhere else

[18:59] <schme> hey #ubuntu. How do I boot my ubuntu in normal console?
[18:59] <adalal> schme: u mean, boot to a commandline?
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> kymara:  in the time weve been chatting - i could of used Unetbootin and an iso file and made  a bootable pendrive  by now. :) unetbootin is rather straight forward in its ussage. It can even download the iso files if you want it to
[18:59] <sam_sam> oh thanks guys
[19:00] <ProfessorBacon> hey folks.  on my laptop (thinkpad r60) i've noticed considerable issues with staying connected with my wireless network.  i don't have this issue in windows.  can i tweek the wifi driver settings somehow?
[19:00] <schme> adalal: Yes.
[19:00] <schme> adalal: Without X starting up.
[19:00] <musikgoat> mmm bacon, /me goes to munch
[19:00] <ProfessorBacon> :D
[19:00] <kymara> Dr_Willis: i dont' want to ruin my new netbook. i dont' particularly like windows but i might as well make a dual boot system since it came with it. so i am being cautious.
[19:00] <adalal> schme: on the login screen, or whenever, hit alt-ctrl-f1 .. login there, and stop the gdm service using 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop'
[19:01] <adalal> schme: and then unload the gdm service from starting up in the future
[19:01] <goose> what's the best file compression for an ISO file? tar.bz2?
[19:01] <schme> adalal: I see. thanks. I really just want it for the one time.  But somehow it seems M-C-F1 is not working for me here.
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> kymara:  you could use some live cd and make a image/backup of the whole netbook hard drive if you wanted to. My netbook -  had a 'restore' partiion i could boot to completely restore it to its initial state. I leave it on.
[19:01] <`mOOse`> goose: best?
[19:01] <mezquitale> kymara, for a fault proof way do it the way I did it, first install ubuntu netbook remix on a flash drive, then boot up into the flash drive and use gparted to partition your hard drive, you have to be very cautious since some of these manufacturers do something evil in your hard drive by creating more than one primary partition
[19:02] <goose> `mOOse`: for space saving. or is it not worth it?
[19:02] <schme> oh wait now it worked.
[19:02] <adalal> schme: m-c-f1?
[19:02] <Dr_Willis> kymara:  you could run linux totally from athe flash/pen drive and not even install it. It will work very well that way
[19:02] <`mOOse`> oh sure it is - iso's can be compressed - use rar if available
[19:02] <schme> adalal: Meta-Control-F1 to switch to console.
[19:02] <adalal> schme: what keyboard to u have?
[19:02] <schme> ok. here's a new one. I do echo -e "\a" yet I get no beep. How do I get this working?
[19:02] <schme> adalal: normal qwerty.
[19:03] <musikgoat> schme: alt+ctrl+f1
[19:03] <adalal> schme: do you have an alt-key?
[19:03] <schme> adalal: I have no alt-key mapped anywhere. This doesn't matter no more. I'm at the console.
[19:03] <Dr_Willis> schme:  the system beeps  are basically disabled. since  the pcspkr module is blacklisted.  There may be some ways to reactivate it - dependion on what you are doing
[19:03] <Dr_Willis> !info beep
[19:04] <adalal> schme: ok
[19:04] <schme> Dr_Willis: hmm ok. I will look at that.
[19:04] <Taejo> I use CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor, but it doesn't seem to remember my settings between when I restart the computer. Is there a way to make it always use "On-demand"?
[19:04] <schme> What a strange thing to blacklist.
[19:04] <Dr_Willis> schme:  not strange at all
[19:04] <pspfreak> how do I set up midi on my SoundX SMI-1450?
[19:04] <macman_> guys i have a question .. im about to get my battery back from dell (new battery) what does ubuntu have (application) that will save me battery power
[19:04] <Out_Cold> sys beeps after boot are freaking annoying
[19:05] <macman_> isn't there a jaunty channel ?
[19:05]  * Dr_Willis gets out the wirecutters and does a speaker-dectomy
[19:05] <schme> Dr_Willis: I'm confused to that thing there you !info'd.
[19:05] <Gianpon> Is there an automated procedure to make a clean install and save the home directory?
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> schme:  thats a fancy 'beeper' tool - i use it for example on my headless servers.. when its booted up i make rc.local play a little beepy tune. Or you can use it in scripts
[19:06] <schme> Dr_Willis: It's not really beeping for me.
[19:06] <Out_Cold> schme, i think 'beep' is an available package to install
[19:06] <Dr_Willis> schme:  because the pcspkr is blacklisted
[19:06] <schme> Dr_Willis: Ok. which means?
[19:06] <Dr_Willis> schme:  the pc speaker device is disabled.
[19:06] <schme> Dr_Willis: How do I enable it?
[19:06] <Dr_Willis> load the module :) then try the beep command

[19:08] <pspfreak>  i dont know, how can I check?
[19:08] <schme> Dr_Willis: ah thanks.
[19:08] <microhaxo> If i save a script to /etc/rc.local does that mean it will be ran every startup?
[19:08] <Out_Cold> pspfreak, try lsusb in a terminal
[19:08] <Dr_Willis> microhaxo:  at BOOT up.. befor user logs in
[19:09] <microhaxo> Good, its power savings stuff.
[19:09] <penguinman> Heya
[19:09] <pspfreak> no it is not seeing
[19:09] <pspfreak> it
[19:09] <microhaxo> i have laptop mode enabled, should i disable it and let this script take over instead?
[19:09] <schme> Now how do I get this bell to bell for me in X with the echo -e "\a" ?
[19:09] <penguinman> I am trying to upgrade my mother's ubuntu 8.10 to karmic and cups is not starting at boot
[19:09] <Out_Cold> pspfreak, does ubuntu support the device??
[19:09] <penguinman> it's christmas time... mom's upgrade time :)
[19:09] <Out_Cold> !hardware > pspfreak
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> schme:  i just use  the beep command in my scripts, theres also other ways that consiole beeping can be disabled.
[19:10] <crawler> Gianpon: i'm curious about this too.  is your /home directory on it's own partition?
[19:10] <penguinman> So cups does not start at boot, if I start it manually the printer works, but I don't understand upstart at all, can someone help me debug the problem?
[19:10] <schme> Dr_Willis: I'm not so interested in disabling it.
[19:10] <schme> Is there some way to install an older X than what this koala provided me with?
[19:11] <Dr_Willis> schme:  im, saying there are ways it may allready be disabled...
[19:11] <schme> Dr_Willis: Well no. It's enabled. It's a bug in recent X.
[19:11] <pspfreak> Outcoldi dont know even see midi on the page
[19:11] <Dr_Willis> schme:  err. the system speaker/beep from what i know - is not related to X.
[19:12] <jebblue> penguinman did you upgrade to 9.04 first? i think that's recommended, anyway, check system | admin | log file viewer for any cups error messages
[19:12] <penguinman> jebblue, I reinstalled from scratch
[19:12] <Dr_Willis> Gnome/kde/other desktops/wms alsy may have their own 'alert'  stuff.
[19:12] <schme> Dr_Willis: It is not. But outputting ascii bell while in X is very much related to X.
[19:12] <adalal> is there a way to grant the cpu frequency applet permission to allow change without inserting the sudo pw?
[19:12] <crawler> penguinman: what command do you use to start cups manually?
[19:12] <schme> Dr_Willis: and a bug in recent X makes it not work.
[19:12] <penguinman> crawler, /etc/init.d/cups start
[19:12] <Dr_Willis> schme:  if you say so.. some would call that a feature
[19:12] <schme> Dr_Willis: I was hoping ubuntu had an older X where it *did* work.
[19:12] <schme> Dr_Willis: They're pretty delusional if they call it a feature.
[19:12] <penguinman> crawler, and if I do "/etc/init.d/cups status" it says not running (before I start it, obviously)
[19:13] <crawler> penguinman: have you tried adding command that to your startup applications?
[19:13] <pspfreak> out_cold, I don't see midi even on the page. What would it be calleed?
[19:13] <Dr_Willis> penguinman:  use sudo service cups status/start/restart
[19:13] <Out_Cold> pspfreak, what is the model??
[19:13] <penguinman> Dr_willis of course I do that from a root shell
[19:13] <penguinman> but crawler, isn't cups supposed to be running?
[19:13] <microhaxo> I added a script to rc.local to do power savings but according to powertop it isnt executing the commands?
[19:14] <penguinman> Dr_willis the problem is that cups is NOT running at boot, so the printer does not work by default
[19:14] <pspfreak> Out_cold SoundX SMI-1450
[19:14] <Dr_Willis> penguinman:  with the move to 9.10 - many services are useing upstart. So i suggest starting to use the service command, and not using the init.d/stuff
[19:14] <Dr_Willis> penguinman:  that is weird..   You could alsays kick it in the head with 'service cups restart' in rc.local perhaps.
[19:15] <penguinman> Dr_willis how can I check that in the current upstart config cups SHOULD start?
[19:15] <Dr_Willis> penguinman:  check /etc/init
[19:15] <stedy> sombody that know pbuilder and could explain how i could fix this error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/347162/
[19:15] <Gianpon> crawler: sorry for delay, yes it should be
[19:15] <penguinman> Dr_Willis, no file named cups there
[19:15] <Dr_Willis> penguinman:  i dont see a cups .conf in there. so it may still be using the old sysv init files.. but that could change in the next release
[19:15] <Gianpon> crawler: how can I check that?
[19:16] <penguinman> Dr_Willis, but if I give the command "runlevel" it says "undefined"
[19:16] <Dr_Willis> penguinman:  theres one upstart service that handles the starting of the sysv scripts in /etc/rc2.d
[19:16] <penguinman> ah ok
[19:16] <Dr_Willis> penguinman:  runlevels are basically meaningless now a days in ubuntu
[19:16] <Dr_Willis> !runlevel
[19:16] <penguinman> Dr_Willis, there's an S50cups there
[19:16] <PlasmaSheep> I cannot properly suspend or hibernate my dell laptop with karmic.
[19:16] <dupondje> is there a ppa for Thunderbird 3.0 ?
[19:17] <pete83> !upstart
[19:17] <Dr_Willis> penguinman:  you may want to move it to like.. s97cups to make it start later in the process
[19:17] <pspfreak> out_cold StartX SMI-1450
[19:17] <dupondje> mozilla-daily is to up to date imo, as its a new package every day
[19:17] <kbrooks> Hello everyone
[19:17] <jebblue> penguinman any errors (you can use Find) in system | admin | log file viewer or grep /var/log/messages in a terminal for cups - you can install "bum" to make sure cups is set to start at boot -  i  guess i thought you were saying that running /etc/init.d/cups start was also failing?
[19:17] <Dr_Willis> penguinman:  or just start it from the rc.local - it may be theres some sort of other issue thats making cups fail to start.
[19:17] <penguinman> Dr_Willis, but do you suggest that for a reason e.g. maybe it NEEDS to start later?
[19:17] <todd1> when I update, add, or remove programs I get this error " nfs-kernel-server".  Can anyone help?
[19:17] <crawler> Gianpon: df -h
[19:18] <Dr_Willis> penguinman:  if for example networking is slow ti get going.. cups may be fauiling to start
[19:18] <penguinman> Dr_Willis, maybe thinking about that
[19:18] <Dr_Willis> penguinman:  this is one of the reasons for the move to Upstart.
[19:18] <Out_Cold> pspfreak, i'm not seeing anything linking that sound board to ubuntu yet... you may need to find a linux driver, possibly contacting the manufacturer and asking them for help?
[19:18] <penguinman> Dr_Willis, I don't have an "/etc/network/interfaces" file
[19:18] <pspfreak> ok
[19:18] <penguinman> that I had to delete because I had used pon/poff to configure the ADSL connection because of a network-manager bug
[19:19] <Dr_Willis> penguinman:  i dont een know what files config the networking these days.
[19:19] <pspfreak> out_cold Thanks
[19:19]  * geoperry offers a toast towards systems friendly to casual users: may be "awakeners" for often-used resources such as cups: smaller & quicker to start at boot, so that the system would recognise requests for such as printing by installing appropriate resource
[19:19] <Out_Cold> pspfreak, sorry i couldn't be more helpful
[19:19] <penguinman> Dr_Willis, can you check if you have a /etc/network/interfaces file? (and tell me if you used pppoeconf or something similar?)
[19:19] <microhaxo> Where can i put this code  (echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy  so that it executes if i am on battery and NOT on AC ?
[19:19] <Dr_Willis> penguinman:  my interfaces file is rather basic.
[19:19] <penguinman> but you have one! :) aha
[19:19] <brianherman> did you guys know that if you install ubuntu from netinst(minimal install it installs kernel-ng which boots up in 5 sec?
[19:19] <Gianpon> crawler: that's the output: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d19cc9a6b
[19:19] <pspfreak> out_cold: that is ok. I would of sat in muse trying to figure it out for hours
[19:19] <penguinman> Dr_Willis, probably that's the point, can you paste me the default file on the pastebin?
[19:19] <Dr_Willis> penguinman:  it has 2 lines.. (which follow)
[19:20] <Dr_Willis> auto lo
[19:20] <Dr_Willis> iface lo inet loopback
[19:20] <penguinman> Dr_Willis, thanks
[19:20] <penguinman> Dr_Willis, probably lo is started later by networkmanager but should be started earlier for cups
[19:20] <PlasmaSheep> I cannot properly suspend or hibernate my dell laptop with karmic.
[19:20] <Out_Cold> pspfreak, best bet is emailing or foruming with the specific manufacturer.. find a linux driver then come back and see what we can help with
[19:20] <Gianpon> crawler: so I suppose they are on different partitions
[19:21] <crawler> Gianpon: that's good that /home has it's own partition.  i'm going to be moving mine to a separate one soon.
[19:21]  * penguinman reboots
[19:21] <crawler> Gianpon: so you want an automated way to reinstall ubuntu?  that i don't know how to do
[19:22] <macman_> so i did a successfull upgrade to 9.10 and now i just want to see once it reboots will it work 0_o
[19:22] <Gianpon> crawler: not really, I searching an external drive to backup, after I'll just try
[19:23] <Gianpon> crawler: but now it's pizza time, thank you. See you soon, I hope
[19:23] <crawler> gk, bye
[19:23] <jnyknx> heyhey
[19:23] <macman_> wow 9.10 looks pretty
[19:24] <jnyknx> could someone answer a question for me please?
[19:24] <ardchoille> macman_: Wait until you see 11.04 :)
[19:24] <crawler> !ask | jnyknx
[19:24] <`mOOse`> yellow
[19:24] <macman_> nice .. question ... i just did a fresh install of 9.10 .. i want to start right away on getting stuff done .. do i still apt-get unbun-restricstions ?
[19:24] <macman_> is everything mostlly the same ?
[19:25] <penguinman> Dr_Willis, bingo, it was the interfaces file :) Your hint about networking was the right one
[19:25] <penguinman> bye all
[19:25] <ardchoille> macman_: there were some changes in 9.10 but easy to get used to
[19:25] <bastid_raZor> macman_: yes, nearly all is the same. ubuntu-restricted-extras still does most.. and medibuntu will help too
[19:25] <todd1> when I update, add, or remove programs I get this error " nfs-kernel-server".  Can anyone help?
[19:25] <Dr_Willis> macman_:  i always install ubuntu-restricted-extras first thing. :)
[19:26] <jnyknx> im installing the wine em thru spm and its wanting to remove 154 pkgs, is this normal?
[19:26] <macman_> ok Dr_Willis second thing is that i want to keep everything up to date so im not out of the loop .. do i just do a apt-get update ?
[19:26] <jebblue> gj Dr_Willis
[19:26] <Out_Cold> macman_, and apt-get upgrade
[19:26] <velcroshooz> running xubuntu 9.10, screenlets refuse to remember position or size on restart .. any help?
[19:26] <Dr_Willis> macman_:  update, then upgrade
[19:27] <macman_> ok xool
[19:27] <Dr_Willis> macman_:  about once a week :) there are the messages also about updates.
[19:27] <macman_> cool*
[19:27] <macman_> oh ok
[19:27] <jnyknx> im relatively new to ubuntu, and im concerned.. any idea would be appreciated
[19:28] <macman_> are there any battery applications that can save my laptop battery power ?
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> jnyknx:  through 'spm' ?  whats spm?
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> wine em - different from 'wine' ?
[19:29] <jnyknx> sry, the package manager
[19:29] <jnyknx> no, just wine
[19:29] <Dr_Willis> jnyknx:  whats it wanting to remove anyway? sure its not wanting to update stuff?
[19:29] <stedy> sombody that know pbuilder and could explain how i could fix this error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/347162/
[19:29] <wilhart> ok how did i remove ushare from /etc/init/.d so it doesnt start in bootup ?
[19:30] <jnyknx> no, its trying to remove things like bluetooth, gnome sys tools, ect
[19:30] <PlasmaSheep> I cannot properly suspend or hibernate my dell laptop with karmic.
[19:30] <Dr_Willis> jnyknx:  thats weird..  try it from the command line.  be sure to update/upgrade also.
[19:30] <DavidJHeinrich> does anyone ere know if the portable book-readers allow reading regular PDF files?
[19:31] <luizpaulo_> ALGUEM PODE M,E AJUDAR
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> jnyknx:  'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade'
[19:31] <PlasmaSheep> DavidJHeinrich: does this look like #ebookreader ?
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> DavidJHeinrich:  i recall seeing in some reviews that some of them do
[19:31] <jnyknx> i have, get the same thing
[19:31] <ardchoille> !es | luizpaulo_
[19:31] <kbrooks> I'd like to speed up Ubuntu. Do you have any tips
[19:31] <Out_Cold> has anyone here had troubles with uck not recognizing a ubuntu iso??
[19:32] <jebblue> wilhart you can install "bum" to control which services should start up at least in 9.10
[19:32] <ardchoille> jnyknx: Have you added any 3rd party sources?
[19:32] <sony> does anyone know where w3m saves downloaded files and where i can watch the download progress?
[19:32] <pete83> !info bum
[19:32] <crawler> kbrooks: have you tried xubuntu?  it's much faster
[19:32] <wolter> is it dangerous to overclock a video card? Also, how do I installl nvidia's 195 driver?
[19:32] <wolter> through repository
[19:32] <kbrooks> crawler, I don't need xubuntu.
[19:32] <velcroshooz> what do i have to chmod a dir in /media/ to give rw to a user? 775?
[19:33] <airtonix> wolter, unless something changed in the last two months i don't think the 195 driver is avail via apt
[19:33] <wilhart> jebblue: should i use as root or name?
[19:33] <jnyknx> i had a prob with winff, it was causings errors in update, but i added the repository and it seemed to fix it
[19:34] <wolter> airtonix, oh too bad.. I just see new and new drivers get released by nvidia and ubuntu doesn't adapt them
[19:34] <Out_Cold> airtonix, it's not
[19:34] <jnyknx> other than that, i dont believe so, nno 3rd partys
[19:34] <DavidJHeinrich> Dr_Willis: Thank you
[19:34] <airtonix> wolter, there is no need. its a rather simple operation to install them
[19:34] <todd1> PlasmaSheep, me too.  Hibernate doesn't wake up.  I have a Dell Inspiron 1501.  Not sure what to do?
[19:34] <jebblue> wilhart err what bum? with sudo crdentials
[19:34] <ardchoille> !root | wilhart: user  you system as user, never log into the root account, sudo is all you need
[19:34] <PlasmaSheep> todd1: I can't even get into hibernate. The screen never turns off.
[19:35] <Dr_Willis> DavidJHeinrich:  for the $200+ pricetag those things better give you a foot massage also.. :)
[19:35] <wilhart> jebblue: yea
[19:35] <airtonix> todd1, how much memory does the laptop have, and how big did you make your swap drive  ?
[19:35] <ardchoille> Dr_Willis: hehe
[19:35] <chazco> Hi... how can I record sound from another application?
[19:35] <wolter> airtonix, i always screw up my stuff with them
[19:35] <airtonix> wolter, what nvida card do you have ?
[19:35] <wolter> airtonix, 8600m GT
[19:35] <jebblue> wilhart bum is a gui utility
[19:36] <wilhart> jebblue: it doesnt start :(
[19:36] <wilhart> jebblue: do i need to be in gnome ?
[19:36] <jebblue> wilhart yep AFAIK
[19:36] <`mOOse`> PlasmaSheep, todd1, add me to the list of dell users (600m) that can't hibernate
[19:37] <macman_> guys
[19:37] <macman_> isnt' there a source i need to add to my sources.list so i can get libdvdcss libdvdread etc ..
[19:37] <lstarnes> !medibuntu | macman_
[19:37] <bastid_raZor> lstarnes: beat me too it
[19:37] <airtonix> `mOOse`, PlasmaSheep screen doesn't turn off ? or it automatically comes out of hibernation ?
[19:37] <Dr_Willis> macman_:  medibuntu repos
[19:37] <bastid_raZor>  -o
[19:38] <`mOOse`> it hibernates, but then hoses when it re-starts
[19:38] <PlasmaSheep> airstrike: When  I try to hibernate/suspend, everything goes smoothely, but the screen doesn't turn off. The computer is completely silent though.
[19:38] <airtonix> `mOOse`, have you enxured your swap drive is at least 1.5 times larger than your physical memory ?
[19:38] <`mOOse`> is there an actual list of every repository for ubuntu?
[19:38] <todd1> airtonix, how do I see my swap drive?
[19:39] <`mOOse`> airtonix: this is a persistent flashdrive install of karmic - so I have a casper-rw
[19:39] <PlasmaSheep> airtonix: my swap drive is 2x larger.
[19:39] <`mOOse`> no swap
[19:39] <jnyknx> any ideas? its aslo wanting to remove things like the ubuntu desktop, linux sound base, ect. i obviously dont want to remove these
[19:39] <airtonix> todd1, usually it will get listed along with the other partitions by using fdisk -l
[19:39] <`mOOse`> 3 gig rw
[19:39] <airtonix> PlasmaSheep, have you investigated dmesg immediatly after a hibernation failure ?
[19:39] <microhaxo> How do i make a script run at boot for power saving options that requires root to be able to execute correctly?
[19:39] <`mOOse`> jnyknx: I dunno if I'd continue if it were me ;-)
[19:40] <airtonix> `mOOse`, hibernation relies on a swap partition to image your physical memory into...
[19:40] <jnyknx> no, of couse not
[19:40] <`mOOse`> airtonix: aha! that would make sense!
[19:40] <airtonix> `mOOse`, or a swap file.
[19:40] <jnyknx> ..this seems to be happening with every package i try to install
[19:40] <ardchoille> jnyknx: Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list? I can try and help with this.
[19:40] <wolter> anyway, is it dangerous to overclock a gpu?
[19:40] <ardchoille> !pastebin | jnyknx
[19:41] <todd1> airtonix, I'm not seeing a swap file

[19:44] <blz> crawler:  yes.  I tried banshee, amarok, songbird
[19:45] <bastid_raZor> microhaxo: you just need the the /full/path/to/script in there. not the script itself
[19:45] <microhaxo> Oh

[19:46] <bastid_raZor> !remaster | jillsmitt_
[19:46] <erUSUL> microhaxo: paste the entirre rc.local file in pastebin please
[19:46] <blz> jebblue:  i'll try it, but unfortunately I have gathered that this is an issue with HAL being phased out...
[19:46] <todd1> airtonix, I see the "swap", is that enough memory -- can't tell the total amount 1.5X?
[19:46] <blz> so i'd be surprised if that fixed anything
[19:46] <Dr_Willis> kraitos:  animated as in changes every 10 min? or like a videooutput?

[19:47] <Dr_Willis> !intel | Slyone
[19:47] <blz> freeksh0w86:  hmm it was working on songbird before.  my understanding is that this is some sort of issue with HAL being phased out in Karmic
[19:48] <Dr_Willis> Slyone:  there may be info on 9.10 at that url also.
[19:48] <kraitos> Dr_Willis: well i want it to be a video output, but if i could get like some cool looking red pulsing look that would be awsome?
[19:48] <jebblue> Slyone try installing the binary restricted driver if one exists
[19:48] <airtonix> todd1, notice the first coloumn it has "/dev/sda5"
[19:48] <Slyone> jebblue, how to do this?
[19:48] <erUSUL> microhaxo: paste the entire rc.local file in pastebin please (and or /home/power_save )
[19:48] <Dr_Willis> kraitos:  if you wanted to blow your sustem resources and have a video player on the background, and  borderless.. thats possible i imagine.. but why bother.
[19:48] <jebblue> Slyone system | admin | hardware drivers
[19:48] <freeksh0w86> blz, i don't know of HAL being phased out in 9.10... automount of the device works everytime whereas in PCLinuxOS it seems to stop working after 2 mounts. I couldn't get songbird and the ipod addon working in 9.10 myself
[19:49] <airtonix> todd1, gah you can run gpartd to see the size i believe
[19:49] <kraitos> Dr_Willis: good point
[19:49] <Dr_Willis> kraitos:  i belive vlc/mplayer might ahve plugins to do that :)
[19:49] <Slyone> jebblue, there arent any drivers
[19:49] <microhaxo> erUSUL, the rc.local is completely Empty, but i'll paste the power_saver
[19:49] <Guest37075> ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.0 does someone fix this bug
[19:49] <kraitos> Dr_Willis: how do i get it so i can change images every 10min like you said?
[19:49] <freeksh0w86> blz, you might check the Javascript error console of songbird when mounting the iPod. i looked at mine and got errors about failing to load some library *.so files
[19:49] <Dr_Willis> Guest37075:  write a clearer question.
[19:49] <facotum> i still have issues with it, so I guess not
[19:49] <samih> erUSUL thanks, I'm trying it
[19:49] <airtonix> todd1, i mean "palimpsest"
[19:50] <blz> freeksh0w86:  hmm that's a good idea.  how do you get to said console?
[19:50] <Dr_Willis> kraitos:  theres dozens of wallpaper changer tools/scripts.. or gnome now has  wallpaper 'sets' that can change based on time/date from a xml file.
[19:50] <facotum> he's wondering if there as a fix for the ttf installer, there have been a lot of bugs filed
[19:50] <freeksh0w86> i can't remember the exact tooltip, i think it's under Tools > error console or something like that
[19:50] <facotum> i still have issues with it, but havent bothered with it yet
[19:50] <macman_> Dr_Willis: you mind helping me with that ? hardware drivers wants me to install my nvidia card .. it has 173 (recommended) 185 (recommended) .. i did an apt-cache search for nvidia-glx-180 and i have an option for the dev or just the regular 180 .. witch should i install
[19:50] <kraitos> Dr_Willis: how do i set that up then?
[19:50] <Guest37075> thank you after update my ubuntu everytime i do a update at the end is telling me ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.0 is not able to install i check and am not the only one i just want to know the way to fix that

[19:52] <Dr_Willis> kraitos:  http://www.webupd8.org/  has some tools to do that.. one downlaods/changes over 300+ national geographic wallpapers.
[19:52] <blz> freeksh0w86:  i don't see any errors... so it looks like it's a problem with karmic, not so much the music manager...

[19:54] <airtonix> facotum, you should also have a gnome-applet you can add to your panel that does something similar
[19:54] <nitzud> lshw -C network (returns command not found)
[19:54] <blz> freeksh0w86:  yes the ipod support addon is installed
[19:54] <ardchoille> jnyknx: The reason  you had trouble with winff is because you used sources meant for intrepid on your dapper system. It's not good to mix sources like that
[19:54] <Dr_Willis> kraitos:  use that sites search box and look for 'wallpaper changers'
[19:54] <lgc> Why does Xorg hog my CPU? Is this normal?
[19:54] <facotum> airtonix: thanks, appreciate it
[19:54] <saica> Anybody have any idea why or how Ubuntu *removes* dmraid (and or various other kernel modules) from my initramfs every other time I upgrade?
[19:55] <jnyknx> word
[19:55] <ardchoille> jnyknx: You need to stick with dapper sources if you're running a dapper system.
[19:55] <lstarnes> saica: how are you adding them to the initramfs?
[19:55] <kraitos> Dr_Willis: how do you set up the rss to get learn/know hows ?
[19:55] <saica> & what I can do about it?
[19:55] <Slyone> whats the best OS for netbook with intel graphiccards???
[19:55] <therock_> Slyone: EeeBuntu
[19:55] <ardchoille> jnyknx: I'd recommend disabling the backports sources and do: sudo apt-get update
[19:55] <schme> Slyone: Whichever one has the apps you need.
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> kraitos:  hit the little feed button in the address bar. and add them to whatever feed reader you like. Ive been using 'feedly' firefox extension lately
[19:56] <Slyone> therock_, but i have an acer aspire one, not an eee
[19:56] <saica> lstarnes: they should be loaded automatically upon installation (so long as dpkg handles the initramfs-hooks properly)
[19:56] <therock_> Slyone: you can't go wrong with EeeBuntu, it has everything preconfigured for you
[19:56] <jnyknx> thank you friend, ill give it a shot
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> kraitos:  or add the feed bookmark so the bookmarks menu updates in firefox. :)
[19:56] <lstarnes> saica: I was asking how you were adding dmraid to the initramfs
[19:56] <ardchoille> jnyknx: Then see what happens with your install. Don't forget to remove that winff and any other non-dapper sources
[19:56] <therock_> Slyone: it should work either way i guess, since those netbooks are basically the same.
[19:56] <macman_> strange i just install nvidia-glx-180 for nvidia .. i openedup nvidia-settngs and it said i wasn't using the driver
[19:57] <nitzud> is there a premission issue that would prevent IP address assignment, once connected to a wireless network?
[19:57] <stevecoh1> I find that Firefox 3.5 will not exit cleanly from Ubuntu 9.10.  Frequently I must kill the process manually.  If I don't, I can't restart it.  Has anyone else expereienced this?
[19:57] <erUSUL> microhaxo: yes; sorry
[19:58] <Slyone> what about suse? is the 3d performance better than in ubuntu?
[19:58] <lstarnes> stevecoh1: I've had similar issues in another distribution
[19:58] <`mOOse`> ok, I'm panicking....I think that backport installed the new kernel on my flashdrive install (not good - it kills the OS)
[19:58] <lgc> stevecoh1, I can exit normally.
[19:58] <stevecoh1> lstarnes - interesting.  Do you have any workaround?
[19:58] <erUSUL> microhaxo: and where did you set on_ac_power ?
[19:58] <`mOOse`> how do you revert back to a previous version?
[19:58] <lstarnes> stevecoh1: I couldn't find one
[19:58] <`mOOse`> can I just uninstall it?
[19:58] <kraitos> Dr_Willis: got a question how do you add that 'feedly' to the rss feed?
[19:58] <lstarnes> stevecoh1: I think it's a bug in firefox
[19:59] <microhaxo> Never touched that, i assumed that it is built in.
[19:59] <stevecoh1> Yeah - my workaround is system monitor.
[19:59] <stevecoh1> or ps and kill
[19:59] <lstarnes> stevecoh1: but it seems that the daily build of firefox 3.5 that I have in ubuntu 8.04 doesn't have that issue
[19:59] <jebblue> stevecoh1 works fine here multiple machines with 9.10 - maybe it's a plugin you installed?
[19:59] <microhaxo> erUSULL: this is the page i went off of: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=729644&page=1
[19:59] <kraitos> Dr_Willis: or is there some extencion i have to add?
[19:59] <stevecoh1> that is possible.
[19:59] <erUSUL> microhaxo: also check that the path is ok. maybe is /home/yourusername/power_save. rc.local has to have execution permissions and the exec has to be before the exit 0 in rc.local
[20:00] <raj> hi
[20:00] <stevecoh1> There is one plugin I once installed, never use, and probably should get rid of.
[20:00] <Dr_Willis> kraitos:  its a firefox exension ive been trying out. gives you a nice feed/rss/news homepage. :) and other things
[20:00] <lgc> stevecoh1, you might use "pkill firefox" for a more elegant option. Otherwise, you might find the #firefox channel useful.
[20:00] <microhaxo> erUSULL: my rc.local is BLANK, there is nothing in it.
[20:00] <`mOOse`> I use Brief and I love it (FF addon)
[20:00] <saica> lstarnes: i have tried editing various configuration files manually, such as specifing dm-raid4-5 in modules.conf, but that isn't really relevant. I even compiled and installed the patched dmraid to specifically solve this problem (it fixes a mistake in initramfs-hooks). Whenever I upgrade or install packages that requrie an "update-initramfs" (which is done automatically by dpkg) dmraid and/or other modules seem to be unloaded from the 
[20:00] <lgc> stevecoh1, "pkill -KILL firefox", I mean.
[20:00] <erUSUL> microhaxo: !?
[20:00] <raj> my monitor is not being detected
[20:00] <`mOOse`> Dr_Willis: I'm in trouble!
[20:01] <`mOOse`> help!
[20:01] <`mOOse`> that backport installed the new kernel on my flashdrive install (not good - it kills the OS)
[20:01] <microhaxo> erUSULL: yea, just a white empty thing.
[20:01] <`mOOse`> how do you revert back to a previous version?
[20:01] <`mOOse`> can I just uninstall it?
[20:01] <kraitos> Dr_Willis: how do i get it ? i mean do i install directly from firefox or download center?
[20:01] <lstarnes> saica: what about /etc/initramfs-tools/modules?
[20:01] <lstarnes> `mOOse`: it should keep the old versions installed too
[20:02] <saica> lstarnes: I'll take a look... it's going to take me a while to reboot from livecd and chroot into the system... brb.
[20:02] <macman_> does totem just suck or does it just not like my dvd .. i have installed all librarys
[20:02] <{g}> Hey People! I have a file called "-2ansync.html" and want to remove it. But How?
[20:02] <{g}> When I do "rm -2ansync.html" I get "rm: invalid option -- 2"
[20:02] <Alacard> kraitos, have you attempted to install firefox directly from their website?
[20:02] <lstarnes> {g}: rm -- -2ansync.html
[20:02] <`mOOse`> lstarnes: if I reboot it will lock this install tighter n a frogs butt...so I have to revert back to the 2.6.31.14 that I WAS using or...
[20:02] <{g}> rm ./-2ansync.html worked :)
[20:03] <lstarnes> {g}: or that
[20:03] <lstarnes> `mOOse`: check /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.cfg to see if kept the old kernels
[20:03] <kraitos> alacard, i have firefox
[20:03] <raj> this OS is unable to detect my monitor
[20:03] <saica> macman_: define "all librarys"
[20:03] <`mOOse`> ok
[20:03] <ardchoille> macman_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Installing%20libdvdcss
[20:03] <kraitos> alacard, it came preinstallled on ubuntu like every version of ubuntu
[20:04] <jnyknx> ardchoille: im still getting 154 pkgs marked for removal
[20:04] <raj> i now have only one resolution
[20:04] <raj> that  is 800*600
[20:04] <stevecoh1> Does anyone know what "Ubuntu Firefox Extensions 0.8" is?  That is not the plugin I suspected but I didn't even know it was there.  What does it do and is it necessary?
[20:04] <macman_> i have installed libdvdcss via medibuntu
[20:04] <macman_> etc ..
[20:04] <macman_> it plays in vlc not totem or mplayer
[20:04] <ardchoille> macman_: Ah, ok
[20:04] <blz> anybody know why music managers may be failing to detect my mounted ipod?  I've heard it could be a HAL issue (i'm on 9.10), but I'm not sure how to fix it
[20:04] <stevecoh1> does firefox log errors somewhere so I might get a better handle on what the problem is?
[20:05] <strange> ipod touch?
[20:05] <ardchoille> jnyknx: Not sure what to do about that. It could be a problem stemming from having intrepid sources.
[20:05] <blz> strange:  3rd gen nano
[20:05] <macman_> ardchoille: any ideas on ho to fix .. vlc works fine
[20:05] <saica> macman_: are you sure the dvd an your drive are the same region?
[20:05] <strange> dunno then
[20:05] <strange> i know the touch doesnt work :)
[20:05] <ardchoille> macman_: I'd just use vlc, never liked totem
[20:06] <microhaxo> erUSULL: can i just replace the etc/rc.local with the one in init.d ?
[20:06] <ardchoille> in fact I uninstalled it
[20:06] <WatchMan> Using Karmic, I have problems streaming videos fullscreen... hardware drivers updated
[20:06] <microhaxo> they are the same right?
[20:06] <macman_> ok
[20:06] <macman_> ardchoille: and this won't have any effect on my ripping movies etc ..
[20:06] <ardchoille> MacGyverNL: no
[20:06] <ardchoille> macman_: no
[20:06] <macman_> lol
[20:06] <ardchoille> MacGyverNL: sorry, tab completion bit me
[20:07] <kraitos> Dr_Willis: okay i install feedly now how do i get it were i get the feeds that you get?
[20:07] <WatchMan> Using Karmic, I have problems streaming videos fullscreen... hardware drivers updated.. any tips?
[20:07] <raj> hi guys
[20:07] <Threetimes> Hi, is there a way to display the contents os a XML file like http://top2009.radio2.nl/data/dallet/onair.xml in my GNOME panel?
[20:07] <raj> i have a query
[20:07] <`mOOse`> dang...
[20:08] <Dr_Willis> kraitos:  the sites have rss icons you click on and tell them to use feedly
[20:08] <macman_> ardchoille: i want to change the dvd insert menu .. basically when you insert a dvd totem tries to come up .. i looked in the system > prefered applications  .. nothing seems to work
[20:08] <raj> on screen resolution'
[20:08] <wowoto_> Threetimes, gedit
[20:08] <kraitos> Dr_Willis: what site do you use?
[20:08] <Dr_Willis> kraitos: several dozen
[20:08] <`mOOse`> lstarnes: I now have a config-2.6.31-14-generic and a config-2.6.31-16-generic file in my /boot folder
[20:08] <Dr_Willis> kraitos:  check delicious.com/dr_willis under my rss tags
[20:08] <Threetimes> wowoto_: I know how to manually read the file, but I want the current song as a gnome applet
[20:09] <ardchoille> macman_: open nautilus, click Edit > Preferences, go to the Media tab and make some changes
[20:09] <kraitos> Dr_Willis: i'll check it out, thanks
[20:09] <lstarnes> `mOOse`: but what about in menu.lst or grub.cfg?
[20:09] <`mOOse`> they don't exist
[20:09] <nanoguy> Anyone have a question?
[20:09] <raj> mine is a 17 inch monitor but this OS gives me only 800*600(resolution), it works in windows but not in UBUNTU
[20:09] <Dr_Willis> kraitos:  some how i got my Delicious extension tio have the feeds in the menus aso. :) you can do that with firefox. so the new items show up in teh bookmarks.. some how..
[20:09] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[20:09] <bbrooks> does Evoluton work with Exchange 2007 now?
[20:09] <lstarnes> `mOOse`: then how are you booting ubuntu?
[20:09] <Supersaiyan_IV> Anyone here that has an "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN" and experiences random disconnects? The device is permanently down afterwards, reloading the iwlagn module doesn't help. If you experience this have you tried solving this with beta ucode? Any solutions?
[20:10] <`mOOse`> this is a flashdrive with persistent casper-rw
[20:10] <lstarnes> raj: edit your xorg.conf to add the new resolutions
[20:10] <nanoguy> raj: I have the same problem
[20:10] <lstarnes> `mOOse`: are you using the isolinux/syslinux bootloader?
[20:10] <stevecoh1> Does anyone know what "Ubuntu Firefox Extensions 0.8" is?  That is not the plugin I suspected but I didn't even know it was there.  What does it do and is it necessary?
[20:10] <stevecoh1> does firefox log errors somewhere so I might get a better handle on what the problem is?
[20:11] <Threetimes> Hi, is there a way to display the contents of a XML file like http://top2009.radio2.nl/data/dallet/onair.xml in my GNOME panel? I want to see what song is playing...
[20:11] <`mOOse`> yes syslinux but I'm ignorant how it works
[20:11] <saica> lstarnes: hm.. /etc/target/initramfs-tools is empty except for comments. no modules of any kind are specified there.
[20:11] <lstarnes> stevecoh1: I think it might contain some ubuntu-specific functionality, like handling apt:// urls
[20:11] <ardchoille> stevecoh1: that sounds like the ubufox extension: apt-cache show ubufox
[20:11] <evilaim> Quick question: I have a Dedicated box, I want to add IRSSI so that ALL users can use it.  How would I go about doing that?
[20:11] <nanoguy> 8-)
[20:12] <lstarnes> saica: what about modules or modules.conf in that directory?
[20:12] <stevecoh1> thanks lstarnes, so probably harmless, right?
[20:12] <lstarnes> evilaim: how are you installing it?
[20:12] <lstarnes> stevecoh1: most likely
[20:12] <evilaim> Sudo apt-get install irssi
[20:12] <ardchoille> evilaim: just install it normally with your package manager
[20:12] <stevecoh1> so then is there a log I can look at?
[20:12] <lstarnes> evilaim: the package maneger always installs things for all users
[20:12] <evilaim> Can't open /dev/null: Permission denied
[20:12] <evilaim> Segmentation fault
[20:12] <evilaim> I get that error when I run it as a user
[20:12] <ardchoille> stevecoh1: I don't of any logs for firefox
[20:12] <lstarnes> evilaim: that is very strange
[20:12] <evilaim> Very.
[20:12] <guntbert> stevecoh1: you might get better answers in #firefox (or in #firefox on irc.mozilla.org)
[20:12] <lstarnes> evilaim: what do you get from ls -l /dev/null?
 Can u plz tell me how to make it work
[20:13] <lstarnes> raj: no, sorry
[20:13] <stevecoh1> ok, thanks, well I removed a couple of plugins, let's see if it works.
[20:13] <lstarnes> raj: I am not good with xorg.conf
[20:13] <saica> the line I added to /etc/modules is missing. dm-raid4-5 is not specified anymore.
[20:13] <macman_> what is the best dvd rip app for ubuntu ? i hear k3b / k9copy .. that is about it any other ideas ?
[20:13] <evilaim> lstarnes: crw------- 1 root root 1, 3 May 14  2009 /dev/null
[20:13] <lstarnes> saica: /etc/modules isn't used by initramfs
[20:14] <lstarnes> saica: or at least I don't think it is
[20:14] <lstarnes> saica: what about /etc/initramfs-tools/modules?
[20:14] <lstarnes> evilaim: try sudo chmod og+rw /dev/null
[20:14] <ssv1994> hello, what driver does ati radeon x1600 video card use for default?
[20:14] <samih> erUSUL : no result, is there another step that I must do?
[20:14] <evilaim> Worked, thanks.
[20:15] <ardchoille> evilaim: here is mine on Jaunty:  crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2009-11-08 11:50 /dev/null
[20:15] <quizme> how do i view a .hidden file using the Gnome file browser ?
[20:15] <lstarnes> evilaim: you might need to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/40-basic-permissions.rules
[20:15] <Out_Cold> quizme, try alt + h
[20:15] <ardchoille> quizme: ctrl+h
[20:16] <lstarnes> quizme: ctrl+h (the file browser is called nautilus)
[20:16] <Out_Cold> oh ctrl
[20:16] <saica> lstarnes: as i said, nothings is specified at all in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules. shall I add something there? is there any way to protect this file from being overwritten with another blank?
[20:16] <quizme> thank you!
[20:16] <lstarnes> saica: that shouldn't be overwritten
[20:16] <quizme> that worked!
[20:16] <lstarnes> saica: yes, use that
[20:16] <lstarnes> saica: it's what I use for my framebuffer modules
[20:16] <saica> lstarnes: i know.
[20:17] <domnukalu> hello, can drivers for Realtek audio be found? My sound doesn't want to start. (on KK)
[20:17] <ssv1994> is fgrlx driver legal?
[20:17] <ardchoille> quizme: you can make that permanent by going into the View tab in the options and setting "Show hidden and backup files"
[20:17] <lstarnes> ssv1994: why wouldn't it be?
[20:17] <raj> can someone plz help me change the screen resolution, its showing me only 800*600 in display options
[20:17] <ssv1994> I just don't know
[20:17] <quizme> ardchoille: thanks a lot!
[20:17] <samih> domnukalu I've the same problem
[20:18] <lstarnes> ssv1994: it's legal, or ubuntu wouldn't include it
[20:18] <ssv1994> oh, you are wright
[20:18] <samih> drivers exists in realtek website
[20:18] <lstarnes> !fixres | raj
[20:18] <samih> but I have difficulties in installing it
[20:18] <WatchMan> Using Karmic, I have problems streaming videos fullscreen... hardware drivers updated.. any tips?
[20:19] <WatchMan> videos lag when streamed fullscreen.. seems like drivers are updated.. what could it be?
[20:19] <ssv1994> WatchMan: in ubuntu 10.04 all problems will be fixed
[20:19] <saica> lstarnes: so i am not completely sure that my trouble is just the dmraid module. I'll get back to you after rebooting, but it may also be that udev isn't loading, or possibly no kernel modules are loaded whatsoever. Worse than that, after reading countless pages of forums, wikis, and even chatlogs in attempts to get my system booting again; every solution that succeeds is eventually thwarted.
[20:19] <Supersaiyan_IV> WatchMan, are you using 64bit ubuntu?
[20:19] <WatchMan> ssv1994, was that ironic?
[20:20] <kraitos> Dr_Willis: is there a way were you can group all the feeds together?
[20:20] <WatchMan> Supersaiyan_IV, no 32
[20:20] <ssv1994> no, watchman, they really are doing something with video, I hope
[20:20] <sime1> so
[20:21] <macman_> im trying to enable dma for my drive i did a mount |egrep 'udf|iso9660' and it dosen't say /dev/hdc something i get a /dev/sr0 .. any ideas on how to fix ?
[20:21] <WatchMan> ssv1994, you have the same problem? Do you know when its released
[20:21] <Supersaiyan_IV> WatchMan, i see, if you said 64bit I would recommend the 64bit adobe flashplugin beta.
[20:21] <erUSUL> microhaxo: sorry away from the keyboard for a while. the forum post explains how to add the scripts in the correct places via the "install" command at the end
[20:21] <sime1> hey guys i have a problem with my network printer it seems i cant get it to connect to my ubuntu machine
[20:21] <mataks> anyone familiar with deep freeze in windows? is there like deep freeze here in linux?
[20:21] <macman_> ah i have an atapi drive
[20:21] <macman_> i think i can fix this
[20:21] <erUSUL> samih: no; sorry did not worked :|
[20:22] <erUSUL> samih: you shouldn't use that driver.
[20:22] <ssv1994> I have a radeon x1600 card and some guys told me, that in ubuntu 10.04 my problem will be solved
[20:22] <Supersaiyan_IV> mataks, there are kernel panics, apart from that wortcase the gui can crash, but you can always fallback to CLI
[20:22] <samih> erUsul : why?
[20:22] <Supersaiyan_IV> mataks, gui can be restarted
[20:23] <sime1> does anyone know how to setup a wireless printer to ubuntu
[20:23] <Supersaiyan_IV> mataks, in this case gui can be either gnome or kde
[20:23] <quizme> is there a way to right click and open up a terminal right in that directory?
[20:23] <erUSUL> samih: is just a sanpshot of what the kernel already provides. probably out of date. the chances of it to work are dim
[20:23] <mota_> hi I am new to linux what would you guys recommended I study in order to learn it proficiently ?
[20:23] <sb51g> kann wer deutsch ?
[20:23] <lstarnes> !de
[20:23] <samih> ok
[20:23] <evergrenn> hello
[20:24] <erUSUL> quizme: install nautilus-open-terminal
[20:24] <ssv1994> sime1: go to system/administration/printing
[20:24] <respecting> hi please i'm searching for a library to capture and send icm ip TCP packet(something like winpcap in windows) any help?
[20:24] <mota_> hi ever green :)
[20:24] <guntbert> !tldp | mota_
[20:24] <samih> erUSUL, is there a way to undo the command you recomanded to me, it took lot of space
[20:24] <ardchoille> quizme: Follow what erUSUL said and restart nautilus. you will see a new entry in the context menu
[20:25] <erUSUL> samih: lot? should only take a few MB
[20:25] <Supersaiyan_IV> mota_, browse http://ubuntuforums.org/ and learn through there, https://help.ubuntu.com is also a Godsend
[20:25] <sime1> ssv1994: ok i did and it says and it says no printer shares found
[20:25]  * ardchoille feels that nautilus-open-terminal should be installed by default
[20:25] <respecting> some help
[20:25] <quizme> awesome thanks guys
[20:25] <saica> forgot to update-initramfs before rebooting. at least i can type out the message i'm getting at boot, but it isn't much use.
[20:25] <erUSUL> samih: also you have to resetar after doing « sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic »
[20:25] <ssv1994> then it looks, that the printer is not available, sorry :(
[20:25] <respecting> hi please i'm searching for a library to capture and send icm ip TCP packet(something like winpcap in windows) any help?
[20:25] <mota_> thank you guntbert , ubottu and supersaiyan_IV :) I'll make sure to check them out :D
[20:26] <samih> erUSUL: I think about 130 mb - I restarted
[20:26] <Slyone> He guys, I have an intel graphiccard and somehow it doesnt support 3d graphics, what to do???
[20:26] <erUSUL> respecting: libcap2 ?
[20:26] <guntbert> mota_: np - have fun :-)
[20:26] <erUSUL> !intel
[20:26] <respecting> thank you
[20:27] <samih> erUSUL : what id libcap2? I'm beginner
[20:27] <ardchoille> !info libcap2
[20:27] <aolko> Hi PPL
[20:27] <sime1> ssv1994:ssv1994: but it is because someone else is able to use it and it also says to check that samba service is marked as trusted on firewall settings
[20:27] <samih> erUSUL: sorry it was not for me
[20:27] <aolko> HoW to ReBrand UBUNTU?
[20:27] <erUSUL> samih: np ;)
[20:27] <ssv1994> sime1, maybe you can try interring the device url
[20:27] <erUSUL> !remaster
[20:28] <Slyone> should i download and install the netbook remix? Does it support my intel graphicscard???
[20:28] <Supersaiyan_IV> Slyone, type "glxinfo" in a terminal, does it say "direct rendering: Yes" ?
[20:28] <erUSUL> !u | aolko
[20:28] <sime1> ssv1994: how do i do that
[20:28] <aolko> no
[20:28] <aolko> i need
[20:28] <ssv1994> it was a comand lusb
[20:28] <aolko> to rebrand
[20:28] <Slyone> Supersaiyan_IV, it says yes
[20:28] <ssv1994> I don't remember
[20:28] <aolko> such change default logos e.t.c
[20:28] <Supersaiyan_IV> Slyone, then 3d is supported
[20:29] <guntbert> !ot | aolko
[20:29] <sime1> ssv: oh i get it
[20:29] <Slyone> Supersaiyan_IV, but its lagging in any game
[20:29] <Supersaiyan_IV> Slyone, do you run compiz effects simultaneously?
[20:29] <Slyone> Supersaiyan_IV, no
[20:29] <saica> for /sbin/usplash, /sbin/udevd, and dmraid: "error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory" then "Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:" and some useful tips and "ALERT! /dev/mapper/nvidia_dgcgcffh1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" and i get a BusyBox. Unfotunately, it seems there are no keyboard drivers loaded so busybox is useless.
[20:30] <Supersaiyan_IV> Slyone, there are always beta drivers, but it's no neat way to improve the performance
[20:31] <Slyone> Supersaiyan_IV, I want to play some nintendo 64 games!!!
[20:31] <saica> i'm going to boot back to livecd and make sure to update-initramfs this time, but I think there's more to this problem.
[20:31] <Supersaiyan_IV> Slyone, which emulator are you using?
[20:31] <Slyone> Supersaiyan_IV, The problem is not the emulator , trust me
[20:32] <gorgomol> join #kierra
[20:32] <Slyone> Supersaiyan_IV, Every game i tried: for example nexuiz is lagging
[20:32] <Supersaiyan_IV> Slyone, hope somebody else can help, not much experience with Intel graphics
[20:32] <Slyone> Supersaiyan_IV, Nobody can help me
[20:33] <Supersaiyan_IV> Slyone, what is the graphics chip?
[20:33] <Slyone> Supersaiyan_IV, 945 GMS
[20:34] <mjunaid> hi, how can i make my desktop look like the one shown here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=437694
[20:35] <microhaxo> Dammit, i cant get this power saving stuff to execute in /etc/rc.local This is what i have: http://www.nopaste.nl/?paste=1597
[20:35] <Supersaiyan_IV> Slyone, i see, many are experiencing that issue, i found a solution, but will look some more
[20:36] <lstarnes> microhaxo: use sudo -u username command
[20:36] <Andrevan> hey can I use ubuntu to make a supercomputing cluster of some kind?
[20:37] <Supersaiyan_IV> Slyone, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 im looking here at the moment
[20:37] <microhaxo> ok, ill give it a try!
[20:38] <bbrooks> hey guys trying to run this script and getting error...bbrooks@portals:~/Desktop$ sudo ./vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.31-14-install.sh sudo: ./vmware-server-2.0.x-kernel-2.6.31-14-install.sh: command not found
[20:38] <invisime> so I'm trying to follow the comprehensive sound card solutions thread to fix the sound on my desktop ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 ), but the link in step 3 is out dated.
[20:38] <Supersaiyan_IV> Slyone, if I were you I'd go for "Part B (Safe/Optimal)" part in the guide
[20:38] <bbrooks> why does it say file not found
[20:38] <Slyone> ah k
[20:38] <invisime> how do I find what driver is required for my soundcard?
[20:39] <joe_> invisime: did you try google?
[20:39] <guntbert> bbrooks: you need to cd into the directory after expanding the file
[20:39] <microhaxo> lstarnes: the script still isnt being ran :|
[20:40] <saica> mjunaid: that desktop is not real.
[20:40] <Supersaiyan_IV> Slyone, read all of the guide first though, part ! is mandatory
[20:40] <scott_ino2> hello, can anyone tell me the estimated time it takes for fdisk to fix an "unclean filesystem" for an ntfs 60gb drive.
[20:40] <lstarnes> microhaxo: what do you get from ls -l /home/blake/Power_Saving?
[20:40] <Supersaiyan_IV> Slyone, part A *
[20:40] <lstarnes> microhaxo: also, try running that as root
[20:40] <Slyone> Supersaiyan_IV, im too lazy to read all this shit
[20:41] <invisime> joe_: yes, I did.
[20:41] <mjunaid> saics: yes, i know, but it was posted back in 2007, i thought it might have been realised by now.
[20:41] <iainbuclaw> Slyone, oh my...
[20:41] <`mOOse`> ok, well, the only thing I've changed since my last backup is adding a buncha bookmarks, so I'm backing up FF now and rebooting - I doubt this will work, but!
[20:41] <invisime> joe_: though it's more than possible that I didn't use the appropriate search terms.
[20:41] <Supersaiyan_IV> Slyone, hehe, it's the only way to accelerate the graphics, the problem lies in the detection of the graphic card's videoram
[20:41] <sb51g> exit
[20:41] <mjunaid> sorry, saica, i wanted to say.
[20:41] <microhaxo> lstarnes: -rwxr-xr-x 1 blake blake 610 2009-12-26 13:05 /home/blake/Power_Saving
[20:41] <`mOOse`> I wish there was a way to globally suppress updating kernels!
[20:41] <Supersaiyan_IV> Slyone, ubuntu allocates less memory than the graphics card actually has
[20:42] <Supersaiyan_IV> Slyone, thats why the wall of text :P
[20:42] <lstarnes> microhaxo: those permissions look good
[20:43] <lstarnes> microhaxo: but I think that what you're trying to do might be better done via sysctl
[20:43] <microhaxo> what is sysctl?
[20:43] <xfact> I am a new linux use currently using Ubuntu 8.4, want to upgrade my system to 8.10 then 9.04 for batter experience, what you guys think? Is that a correct discussion?]
[20:43] <lstarnes> microhaxo: it manages system paramaters
[20:43] <lstarnes> microhaxo: like the ones that you are setting in that script
[20:43] <lstarnes> *parameters
[20:44] <joshua__> what's the option to make cpio preserve uid/gid by ID rather than NAME?
[20:44] <xfact> ﻿I am a new linux use currently using Ubuntu 8.4, want to upgrade my system to 8.10 then 9.04 for batter experience, what you guys think? Is that a correct discussion?]
[20:44] <lstarnes> microhaxo: however, I didn't notice that if/then/else conditional in there, and that can't be used with sysctl
[20:44] <lstarnes> microhaxo: so the script is probably the best option
[20:44] <microhaxo> Can i just add the script to my Startup programs?
[20:45] <xfact> anybody can give me right suggestion?
[20:45] <lstarnes> microhaxo: that would only be executed when you do a graphical login
[20:45] <xfact> ﻿I am a new linux use currently using Ubuntu 8.4, want to upgrade my system to 8.10 then 9.04 for batter experience, what you guys think? Is that a correct discussion?]
[20:45] <guntbert> xfact: if you want to keep most of your settings/data - yes; if there is not much on your old system anyway consider a fresh install of 9.10
[20:45] <anna> hi there ! i have problem installing samba, the package is not found (404) on the server...
[20:45] <qwerkus> hi: how do you share sound between multiple apps in Ubuntu 9.10 ? Right now, having one application (vlc) using the soundcard denies access to any other (skype), which die with a 'soundcard' arror ?
[20:45] <lstarnes> microhaxo: you can actually add the full text of the script to rc.local
[20:45] <PrototypeX29A> xfact: if you are not missing anything you could just stay with 8.04 for a while
[20:45] <Supersaiyan_IV> microhaxo, http://linux.die.net/man/8/sysctl
[20:45] <microhaxo> lstarnes: I did that but it doesn't work still. Powertop reporting that none of the commands have been executed.
[20:46] <Pelo> xfact, the easiest surely but the longest ,  I recommend you dl the alternate isntall cds that way you can upgrade from the cds and not from online, that at least shuld be faster
[20:46] <Out_Cold> xfact, i ALWAYS back up my data and do a fresh install. if you have a separate /home partition, this makes things fairly easy
[20:46] <microhaxo> Maybe rc.local is trying to execute before they are initialized?
[20:46] <xfact> ﻿PrototypeX29A: but i hope Ubuntu 9.04 has batter features... isn't that right?
[20:46] <velcroshooz> running xubuntu 9.10, screenlets refuse to remember position or size on restart .. any suggestions?
[20:46] <DeannaT2> xfact, then you wait for the next LT and you can upgrade directly
[20:46] <PrototypeX29A> xfact: depends on the expectations
[20:47] <PrototypeX29A> xfact: are you missing a feature?
[20:47] <xfact> ﻿Out_Cold:not much, but i want more nice experiences!
[20:48] <Pelo> DeannaT2, and when is the next LTS ? will it be Lynx in april ?
[20:48] <saica> mjunaid: have you seen http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1167391 ? i can't find any how-to or downloads, but someone was working on this recently
[20:48] <lstarnes> Pelo: probbaly
[20:48] <microhaxo> lstarnes: I even added the script to the startup programs and it STILL doesn't work. I am beginning to think that one of the boolean values are not being recognized or initialized to begin with.
[20:48] <lstarnes> *probably
[20:48] <`mOOse`> heh
[20:48] <xfact> OS upgrade is a long time process?
[20:48] <lstarnes> xfact: somewhat
[20:49] <Out_Cold> xfact, depends on how skilled you are and if you make mistakes or need to install new packages
[20:49] <lstarnes> microhaxo: where is on_ac_power defined?
[20:49] <microhaxo> No idea, i got that code from: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=729644&page=1
[20:49] <microhaxo> i assumed it was globally defined.
[20:49] <Supersaiyan_IV> xfact, no longer than downloading and replacing 600-700mb of packages
[20:49] <DeannaT2> pelo, yes
[20:49] <lstarnes> microhaxo: ah, it's a system utility
[20:50] <Out_Cold> Supersaiyan_IV, except that you have to first download the 600-700mb first then install the 600-700mb after :p
[20:50] <Pelo> xfact, I decided to agree with the others,  wait for april and 10.04, it's gonna be a lot easier,   I still recommend you dl the alternate install cd and upgrade from that , much easier
[20:50] <xfact> no I will just click on 'upgrade' button in the update manager then it should 'automatically' run everything....
[20:50] <microhaxo> lstarnes: how can i make that  just simply run in the starup programs?
[20:50] <Supersaiyan_IV> Out_Cold, no it's not simultaneous unfortunately :P
[20:50] <linuxghost> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubuntu 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523 and this http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523#supported the patch step doesnt run
[20:51] <Out_Cold> xfact, that may 'wreck' your computer...
[20:51] <guntbert> xfact: did you read !upgrade ?
[20:51] <lstarnes> microhaxo: I wouldn't use the startup programs list for non-graphical things
[20:51] <Pelo> xfact,  when you do that it will download all the upgrade it can take a great deal of time,  10 hrs or more in some cases
[20:51] <guntbert> !upgrade | xfact
[20:51] <lstarnes> microhaxo: /etc/rc.local should work
[20:51] <microhaxo> lstarnes: ok, when i do sudo -u blake how do i get around not entering a password at boot?
[20:52] <lstarnes> microhaxo: if it's root issuing that, it shouldn't need a password
[20:52] <xfact> yes upgrade!
[20:52] <Out_Cold> xfact, just backup anything you aren't willing to lose
[20:53] <linuxghost> help me, im trying to use TP-Link TL-WN620G Wi-Fi USB .Ive followed the thread https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubuntu 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523 and this http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523#supported the patch step doesnt run
[20:53] <rsc___> hey everyone!
[20:53] <rsc___> this may be late, but, merry christmas.
[20:53] <rsc___> :D
[20:53] <xfact> well, i am a new linux user, just turned from windows...so not much idea about these stuffs....
[20:53] <macman_> question .. i want to arrange icons on my desktop by name .. do i have to do this in gconf-editor or is  there another way
[20:53] <xfact> how to backup data on ubuntu?
[20:54] <Out_Cold> xfact, in my own experiences i have lost lots of time and data when trying to use the upgrade feature.. i only do fresh installs now.
[20:54] <od3n> does anyone know if changing your keyboard would cause your bluetooth to not show up
[20:54] <mjunaid> hi, i have Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture TV Card in my ubuntu system, how can i use Kaffeine to watch the Cable transmission on my PC, Kaffeine does not seem to have any option where i can select the Input Source as the TV Card
[20:54] <supertux1> xfact dd
[20:54] <microhaxo> lstarnes: i have rebooted 12 times, if this last TIME does not fix this then i dont know what the hell to do..
[20:54] <Out_Cold> xfact, copy what you need... ie pics, music, vids, pr0n
[20:54] <DeannaT2> xfact, its easy to upgrade from LTS - to LTS, this is possible directly and all what you want to safe, you safe it on an usb-stick or an other extern place
[20:54] <arniokas> Is somedy using mc?
[20:54] <arniokas> somebody*
[20:54] <supertux1> xfact dd is a choise but leave it for now
[20:54] <xfact> ohh...these way...
[20:54] <rsc___> xfact: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeVault
[20:55] <supertux1> xfact tar too
[20:55] <rsc___> there may be something better than timevault right now but im not sure what it is :b
[20:55] <supertux1> and onother app but i didn't remember the name
[20:55] <xfact> well, anybody know when actually next LTS will release?
[20:55] <Flannel> xfact: 10.04 will be LTS
[20:55] <DeannaT2> xfact, in april
[20:55] <linuxghost> help me, im trying to use TP-Link TL-WN620G Wi-Fi USB .Ive followed the thread https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubuntu 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523 and this http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523#supported the patch step doesnt run
[20:56] <xfact> woh...long wait for long term release!
[20:56] <Out_Cold> xfact, what things do you have on your ubuntu sys??
[20:57] <saica> lstarnes: after adding dm-raid4-5 to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and running "update-initramfs -u -k all" i have the same problem. unbootable system. unusable busybox.
[20:57] <xfact> ﻿Out_Cold: Well thats a long question,
[20:57] <xfact> lots of stuffs!
[20:58] <tr_> I think I need to disable a kernel option to make an old usb scanner work... google reports many hits on the UMAX Astra3400 says: disable USB_SUSPEND... all the ubuntu kernel howtos seem outdated... and I am a kernel compile newb. Any advice?
[20:58] <invisime> "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat, it will be ignored in a future release."
[20:58] <invisime> whoops.
[20:58] <invisime> that was without context. :(
[20:58] <microhaxo> lstarnes: i put that code exactly into rc.local and it still isnt running.
[20:58] <xfact> ok, what actually the difference between the 'normal' and 'LTS' release?
[20:58] <microhaxo> i dont know why but it wont run.
[20:58] <Out_Cold> xfact, what do you need to keep? and is it all located in /home/?
[20:58] <invisime> it's the output I get when I try to step 4 in the comprehensive sound problem solver thread thingy.
[20:59] <Supersaiyan_IV> xfact, the only things that may be lost in an upgrade are configuration files
[20:59] <Out_Cold> xfact, LTS is supported for like 3 years where as normal releases are usually supported for 6 months or so
[20:59] <lstarnes> Out_Cold: 18 months for regular releases
[20:59] <Supersaiyan_IV> xfact, and that is due to compatibility issues, or new standards
[20:59] <Out_Cold> oh... 18 months
[20:59] <xfact> ﻿Out_Cold: no most of my data is far from Ubuntu filesystem....
[20:59] <saica> LTS == Long Term Service (Canonical and the Ubuntu community are commited to maintaining this version for a longer period of time)
[21:00] <Out_Cold> xfact, is it stored in a separate partition??
[21:00] <xfact> ﻿Out_Cold: yes stored in windows xp partition
[21:00] <linuxghost> help me, im trying to use TP-Link TL-WN620G Wi-Fi USB .Ive followed the thread https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubuntu 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523 and this http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523#supported the patch step doesnt run
[21:00] <DeannaT2> xfact, then you must be afraid *think* :-)
[21:01] <mka> saica, LTS = Long Term Support
[21:01] <microhaxo> lstarnes: is there a way for me to run rc.local to see if it works while already booted?
[21:01] <Out_Cold> xfact, then a fresh install won't do you any harm... and it'll be quicker and less of a headache on re-configuring
[21:01] <saica> lol oops
[21:01] <lstarnes> microhaxo: sudo /etc/rc.local
[21:01] <saica> thank you mka
[21:02] <DeannaT2> xfact, sry must not be afraid..
[21:02] <microhaxo> lstarnes: even after i run it, powetop still says
[21:02] <microhaxo> "enable sata alpm link power management via: echo min_power >  etc blah ablah
[21:02] <microhaxo> "
[21:02] <xfact> ok, i want to know also, what about normal releases, after 6 months, will those be left as just 'support less' systems?
[21:03] <saica> btw... any more ideas on how to get initramfs to load modules? and how to ensure it will continue to do so after being updated? or how to get keyboard modules loaded so I can use BusyBox when I get dropped into it?
[21:03] <lstarnes> xfact: it's 18 months, not 6
[21:03] <Out_Cold> xfact, **18 months
[21:03] <lstarnes> xfact: after that time, it won't be officially supported and it will stop recieving updates
[21:03] <linuxghost> help me, im trying to use TP-Link TL-WN620G Wi-Fi USB .Ive followed the thread https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubuntu 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523 and this http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523#supported the patch step doesnt run
[21:03] <xfact> thats bad
[21:03] <lstarnes> xfact: also, many mirrors if not most of them will remove the repositories for that version
[21:03] <Out_Cold> xfact, and yes... they no longer fix bugs or provide a lot of help, although most of us will still help out if we can
[21:04] <mka> xfact, if you dont upgrade a normal (ie non-LTS) version then you will be supportless after 18 months
[21:04] <lstarnes> xfact: it's standard practice for old versions of anything, not just ubuntu
[21:04] <macman_> anyone using itunes with ubuntu / wine ?
[21:04] <microhaxo> lstarnes: this script is in c right?
[21:04] <xfact> LTS validity is 3 yrs?
[21:04] <DeannaT2> xfact, no, thats not bad, if you want a newer system you can upgrade ore use the old one so long as it works well
[21:04] <songer> hello
[21:04] <lstarnes> microhaxo: no, bash
[21:04] <mka> xfact, yes and for server edition it's 5years
[21:04] <Out_Cold> xfact, yes 3 yrs
[21:04] <lstarnes> microhaxo: or unix bourne shell
[21:04] <linuxghost> help me, im trying to use TP-Link TL-WN620G Wi-Fi USB .Ive followed the thread https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubuntu 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523 and this http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523#supported the patch step doesnt run
[21:05] <Pelo> macman_, why not try songbird,  very similar to itune in look and feel and there is a linux verson ,  just google for it
[21:05] <microhaxo> what is the bash command to print out a word so i can see if it made it past the boolean value?
[21:05] <lstarnes> microhaxo: echo
[21:05] <invisime> how can you confirm that a module has actually been loaded. that is, how can you tell if modprobe has executed successfully?
[21:05] <xfact> cool then I have support till 2012 ( untill the doomsday comes) lol :)
[21:05] <invisime> microhaxo: echo
[21:05] <mka> macman_, what about rhythmbox on gnome or amarok on kde?
[21:05] <guntbert> invisime: lsmod | grep <modulename>
[21:05] <Out_Cold> xfact, i think it's 2011 it stops
[21:05] <microhaxo> then there is a big problem, lol. I see NO echo's when i run it. So that must mean the conditional statements are not initialized ever.
[21:05] <Pelo> invisime, lsmod | grep  coupleofletters
[21:06] <saica> invisime: try "cat /proc/modules
[21:06] <microhaxo> so on_ac_power never is found ?
[21:06] <rvalles> hi

[21:07]  * rvalles has it configured via /etc/network/interfaces, but network manager decides once in a while to "take over"...
[21:07] <lstarnes> xfact: no
[21:07] <Raydiation> hi, can anyone help me setting up an mtp server? the how tos are confusing
[21:07] <lstarnes> xfact: at worst, they might be able to affect programs installed usder wine
[21:07] <lstarnes> *under
[21:07] <DeannaT2> xfact, no :-)
[21:07] <mka> rvalles, how sure are you it's network manager?
[21:08] <jacob_> Hi i'm using ubuntu 9.10 and cannot get it to read my external hard drive....any thoughts?
[21:08] <mka> xfact, no
[21:08] <xfact> ok
[21:08] <nikolaj_basher> Can you get a shared calender system in ubuntu
[21:08] <microhaxo> lstarnes: Found the problem. ubuntu 9.10 doesn't recognize on_ac_power. How can i find the equivalent boolean value?
[21:08] <nikolaj_basher> ?
[21:08] <invisime> jacob_: have you tried power cylcing the external?
[21:08] <lstarnes> microhaxo: I'm not sure
[21:08] <Pelo> jacob_, what files system is your ext-hdd in ?
[21:08] <rvalles> mka: it's always nm
[21:08] <mka> jacob_, does the external HDD require to be powered to the mains?
[21:09] <xfact> anybody using sub woofer and headphone both with ubuntu, and is it working..? because mine is not working....
[21:09] <jacob_> yea i have power cycled it.....it is NTFS format.....and i'm not sure what you mean mka
[21:09] <Out_Cold> xfact, other than the fact that viruses for windows are built on a win32 platform, they also need sudo privs to install and start the chaos
[21:09] <xfact> ok
[21:09] <Pelo> jacob_, try installing   nfts-config and run it from the menu while the ext-hdd is plugged in and powered on
[21:10] <mka> jacob_, I mean do you plug it in the power socket in the wall
[21:10] <jacob_> mka yes
[21:10] <xfact> ﻿anybody using sub woofer and headphone both with ubuntu, and is it working..? because mine is not working.... what to do?
[21:10] <rvalles> mka: it works... until user logs in
[21:10] <Pelo> !sound | xfact
[21:10] <Out_Cold> xfact, check out alsamixer in terminal
[21:10] <rvalles> mka: and then nm applet is launched by gnome
[21:10] <jacob_> Pelo:  installing now
[21:10] <nikolaj_basher> can it be true that ubuntu doesn't have a share calender system, that's sound wird ?
[21:10] <rvalles> mka: and everything f-s over
[21:11] <mka> rvalles, how sure that nm is the one breaking your wireless?
[21:11] <rvalles> mka: 100%
[21:11] <Out_Cold> rvalles, have you tried wicd?
[21:11] <saica> ok so... i am seriously about to just give up on ubuntu because of this... every second or third time i upgrade packages my system becomes unbootable. I usually end up formatting and reinstalling from scratch. I have had the same problem with Intrepid, Jaunty and Karmic. Karmic was installing a partition table that couldn't be read by  grub. Intrepid needed to have configuration files fixed. Jaunty, which I am using now, suddenly breaks 
[21:12] <xfact> Pelo: not that problem, my sound driver is working fine, but only one line in jack is supporting to play, my second line in jack is not active...how to active both?
[21:12] <mka> rvalles, then what if you uninstall it?
[21:12] <jacob_> pelo do i tell it to enable write support for external device?
[21:12] <Out_Cold> saica, this seems like a very uncommon problem... are you trying all these installs on the same system?
[21:12] <rvalles> mka: ...
[21:12] <Pelo> saica, would those be the times when you update the kernel ? and when you do are you sure that grub is being updated properly ?
[21:12] <rvalles> mka: ubuntu depends on it in many ways than one
[21:12] <Out_Cold> xfact, try alsamixer
[21:12] <Pelo> jacob_, do you want to write to the external hdd ?
[21:12] <microhaxo> Can anyone tell me where i can find powermgmt-base in 9.10 ?
[21:13] <rvalles> mka: they're going to sleep now,a nd so am I
[21:13]  * rvalles remote.
[21:13] <microhaxo> on_ac_power is located in there, and it is not recognized.
[21:13] <xfact> ﻿Out_Cold: where to get alsa mixer?
[21:13] <jacob_> Pelo: probably will need to at some point...but for now i just need to be able to get info off it
[21:13] <saica> this page has a solution to a similar (if not the same) problem by copying an initramfs from a running system: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-initrd-bug.html
[21:13] <rvalles> mka: it's a major pita... it happens once in a while, and does happen now that they've upgraded their ubuntu to current
[21:13] <Out_Cold> xfact, it's installed already.. run 'alsamixer' in a terminal
[21:13] <xfact> software center?
[21:13] <rvalles> (karmic)
[21:13] <xfact> ok
[21:13] <mka> rvalles, follow this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=527365
[21:13] <Pelo> jacob_, you won't be runnind ntfs-config everytime you want to use the ext-hdd I recommend you enable it now
[21:14] <dimitar> hi! what is the difference between ubuntu,kubuntu,xubuntu...is only difference just environment or something else?
[21:14] <rsc___> the difference would be the window manager they use.. the GUI
[21:14] <lstarnes> dimitar: the desktop environment and default applications are different
[21:14] <saica> Pelo: whenever packages that require and update-initramfs are installed. also I am sure that grub is NOT being updated properly. new kernels are never added to menu.lst unless I add them manually.
[21:14] <rsc___> plus the pre-loaded apps
[21:14] <rvalles> mka: bookmarket
[21:14] <Pelo> dimitar, mainly the enviro. but some progs change as a result and some env. are less demanding
[21:14] <rvalles> *d
[21:14] <lstarnes> dimitar: but the core system is the same
[21:14] <Out_Cold> xfact, look for MM on outputs or half bars that you can increase.. MM = off, press M to turn on
[21:14] <DeannaT2> dimitar, kubuntu has KDE, xubuntu xfce
[21:14] <rvalles> mka: I'll look into it monday or so
[21:15] <rvalles> being physically there
[21:15] <jacob_> Pelo: still not showing
[21:15] <DeannaT2> dimitar, ubuntu has gnome
[21:15] <Pelo> saica, when you upgrade the kernel you usaly are asked wheather or not to use the new grub list or stick with the old one ,  I don' tknow about initramfs howver
[21:15] <munk> hey all
[21:16] <mka> jacob_, pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[21:16] <dimitar> yes i know all the environments....what is the best?
[21:16] <Pelo> jacob_, that was my best guest ,    open a terminal and type lsusb , see if it is listed
[21:16] <Out_Cold> !best | dimitar
[21:16] <BobPenguin> hello guys. This might be silly but I cant find the answer on google. Which key do I have to press in order to get to choose which kernel to use in the GRUB thing before my system boots?
[21:16] <saica> Pelo, that part isn't important anyway. I can add the new kernel by hand or type it into the grub menu at boot.
[21:16] <xfact> what is the 'channel' in alsa mixer?
[21:16] <DeannaT2> dimitar, if you have an old pc or laptop xfce,, couse it need lowest ressource, the rest is what you like better
[21:17] <scott_ino2> anyone have experience using dd
[21:17] <lstarnes> BobPenguin: either press ESC or hold SHIFT
[21:17] <Out_Cold> xfact, depends on the system and hardware.... play around with them
[21:17] <iL_tRiX> j /chatchat
[21:17] <BobPenguin> thanks a lot Istarnes!
[21:17] <Out_Cold> xfact, also you may be able to 'scroll' to the right and see more options that are not displayed
[21:17] <Pelo> I have to go , laterfolks
[21:17] <jacob_> mka: Pelo  neither command shows it
[21:17] <xfact> well, i fixed all the sides to maximum, i hope now both jack will work....
[21:18] <munk> Ubuntu is doing something weird when mounting a ntfs partition. Testdisk lists all the files but in nautilus most of my files are hidden. Even if I go view hidden files they dont show up. It says there is 48GB of used space. Any ideas?
[21:18] <saica> is there a way to inspect an initramfs to be absolutely sure what modules it will load?
[21:18] <Out_Cold> xfact, are there any MM's??
[21:18] <xfact> yes MM is the 'master volume'
[21:18] <mka> jacob_, please paste the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[21:19] <Out_Cold> xfact, MM = muted.... press the M on it
[21:19] <jacob_> mka: jacob@jacob-laptop:~$ sudo fdisk -l
[21:19] <jacob_> Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
[21:19] <jacob_> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders

[21:19] <jacob_>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[21:19] <nailora> how do i install additional locales on an ubuntu server machine?
[21:19] <xfact> ﻿Out_Cold: it's already to maximum so I am hearing sound....
[21:19] <duffydack> how do you set swappines again?  im using 1.8gig of 4gig, and swap is getting used already
[21:20] <mka> jacob_, is your external hdd connected?
[21:20] <microhaxo> How can i use a variable from one package instead of another? My problem is: I try to use on_ac_power as a boolean value for a script, but in powermgmt-base it isnt working, but in pm-utils it reports back fine! So my script doesn't work because its trying to  use a boolean value that is never initialized.
[21:20] <Out_Cold> xfact, if it says MM it's muted OO is on
[21:20] <jacob_> mka: yes
[21:20] <Out_Cold> gotta go check out another computer next door...
[21:20] <Out_Cold> bbl
[21:21] <mka> jacob_, have you ever been able to mount this drive on ubuntu before?
[21:21] <xfact> " I am little bit confused, never faced these before, I always like GUI based things"
[21:21] <jacob_> mka: yes to ubuntu 9.04...but this is the first time i've tried to on 9.10
[21:21] <Out_Cold> xfact, you can install a gnome-alsamixer from the repos
[21:21] <arniokas> Whatfor are blocks in unixlikesystems?
[21:21] <Out_Cold> xfact, it's exactly the same but in gnome
[21:22] <xfact> Out_Cold: Ok how to install it?
[21:22] <mka> microhaxo, either pass the value as an argument to another script and find a way to initialize it
[21:23] <xfact> Via software center?
[21:23] <Out_Cold> xfact, go to terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer'
[21:23] <Out_Cold> xfact, or synaptic or software center
[21:23] <arniokas> For example: why should I determine blocksize using dd  bs=n?
[21:23] <ardchoille> arniokas:  A block device is a device you can read blocks from. For example hard disks, cdrom drives and floppies are block devices, but not the keyboard. You can receive data from the keyboard and regard them as blocks, but you cannot seek on the keyboard.
[21:23] <xfact> yes it's working....
[21:23] <mka> jacob_, reboot, and then do a dmesg | tail and then plug your HDD and do a dmesg | tail again
[21:24] <jacob_> mka: k thanks..be back in a minute
[21:24] <microhaxo> So there is no way i can do an if statement in bash while specifying on_ac_power from pm-utils instead of powermgmt-base ?
[21:24] <xfact> thanks
[21:25] <mka> microhaxo, can we go talk on private?
[21:25] <microhaxo> yea
[21:25] <Slyone> Can i see the key of my internet somewhere on my pc?
[21:25] <Schuenemann> can anyone recommend me a chess client in which I can freely move pieces to study a position?
[21:25] <Schuenemann> no computer gameplay
[21:26] <mota_> hi
[21:26] <Slyone> Can i see the key of my internet somewhere on my pc?
[21:26] <Schuenemann> Slyone,  what is this key you're looking for?
[21:26] <jacob_> mka:  can you send me that command again
[21:26] <xfact> I am having some problems like, in software center 'Firefox 3.0.16' is the latest version it's showing, but in real firefox already released 3.5.6 for linux...
[21:26] <mota_> I am having trouble seeing webpages for example I type lifehacker.com and it takes me to some wiki place whats wrong ?
[21:26] <mka> jacob_,  dmesg|tail
[21:27] <Slyone> Schuenemann, the access key for my router. Im logged in now, but can i see it on my computer somewhere?
[21:27] <ardchoille> xfact: that is the highest version available from the repositores
[21:28] <Schuenemann> Slyone,  the password?
[21:28] <xfact> oj
[21:28] <Slyone> Schuenemann, right
[21:28] <jacob_> mka: ok what am i looking for in this?
[21:28] <DeannaT2> Schuenemann, maybe gnome-chess is what you are looking for, in snaptic, i am not shure
[21:29] <Schuenemann> Slyone,  I'm not on ubuntu right now. In debian, there is file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf that was it encrypted, but I have it commented there (the default is like that)
[21:29] <Schuenemann> Slyone,  try that
[21:29] <Out_Cold> xfact, unless you install by source or the websites, ubuntu software uses the last stable and tested version in the software center which can sometimes be a bit outdated
[21:30] <Schuenemann> DeannaT2,  is that the one that comes with gnome games/
[21:30] <ardchoille> Schuenemann: yes
[21:30] <DeannaT2> schuenemann or was it gnu-chess , sry
[21:30] <ardchoille> Schuenemann: and I don't think it can do what you want
[21:30] <Schuenemann> hmm not that, there is a computer there
[21:30] <Schuenemann> ardchoille,  right
[21:31] <ardchoille> Schuenemann: is it possible to set both players to "human" in gnome chess? Would that work?
[21:31] <Schuenemann> DeannaT2,  I have it installed, but what is the command to run it? it's not gnuchess
[21:32] <Schuenemann> ardchoille,  the problem is that I can take back a move
[21:32] <ardchoille> Schuenemann:  /usr/games/glchess
[21:32] <A[D]minS> may i know what is the meaning of this output of top "Cpu0  :  5.3%us,  6.0%sy,  0.0%ni, 88.1%id,  0.3%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.3%si,  0.0%st"
[21:32] <ardchoille> Schuenemann: Ah, ok
[21:32] <Schuenemann> I can't take back
[21:33] <A[D]minS> us stand for ? alss sy , ni , wa, hi , si , st
[21:33] <unop> A[D]minS, the top manpage should explain all this
[21:33] <Lord-Readman> where is a digital camera automounted to?
[21:33] <saica> is there anyone here with a highly detailed understanding of how ubuntu 9.04 boots?
[21:34] <Super8> Hello.
[21:34] <Lord-Readman> where is a digital camera automounted to?
[21:34] <DeannaT2> Schuenemann, i have it not installed, but maybe this will help you: http://www.gnu.org/software/chess/
[21:34] <ph33r> Super8: hi
[21:34] <Lord-Readman> where is a digital camera automounted to?
[21:34] <Super8> I downloaded .iso file of Ubuntu Gnome 9.04 - but I can't Burn It since I don't have any empty dvd/cd, how can I install it from my machine?
[21:34] <ardchoille> Schuenemann: there are some other chess clients n the repos: apt-cache search -n chess
[21:35] <invisime> Super8: what operating system does your computer currently have?
[21:35] <Super8> Win7.
[21:35] <Lord-Readman> hi all, when connecting a digital camera, where is it automounted too?
[21:35] <saica> Super8: try making a usb installer
[21:36] <Schuenemann> ardchoille,  yeah... I have tried some without any luck. All I see are engines or clients for internet play. I think I'd better ask in some chess community
[21:36] <Super8> How saica ?
[21:36] <Purpley> what are the numbers for chmod to allow only yourself to save edit and delete a file?
[21:36] <Super8> I tried downloading UNetbootin, but I dunno how to use it.. Is there anything similar?
[21:36] <Schuenemann> Purpley,  chmod u+w file
[21:37] <Jamed> Purpley: 600
[21:37] <Schuenemann> oh numbers
[21:37] <Purpley> thanks
[21:37] <saica> Super8: if you have a usb drive: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[21:37] <Purpley> is there a link to a tut on learning chmod?
[21:37] <Lord-Readman> hi all, when connecting a digital camera, where is it automounted too?
[21:38] <Lord-Readman> http://www.zzee.com/solutions/linux-permissions.shtml
[21:38] <rsr> Purpley: Just man chmod
[21:38] <Schuenemann> Purpley,  man chmod
[21:38] <Renny> hola por casualidad alguien habla espamol
[21:38] <Super8> saica Okay, thanks.
[21:38] <Renny> Español
[21:38] <Lord-Readman> where is a digital camera automounted to?
[21:38] <Schuenemann> !es
[21:38] <ardchoille> Schuenemann: yeah. Good luck

[21:40] <zevlag> What's the best way to securely wipe a running system?  I don't have physical access to the box, but can su as to root.  I want to wipe the physical drive.  It's going to be repurposed and sold.
[21:40] <joe_> hey guys what does it mean when my wireless card is "UNCLAIMED"?
[21:40] <invisime> so when I run 'aplay -l' as I get no sound card found. but when I run 'sudo aplay -l' it works properly. this user is already a member of the 'sound' group. what could be wrong?
[21:40] <jpds> joe_: No application is managing it?
[21:40] <strywgr> I cant view the TOP panel.. anyone can help?
[21:41] <strywgr> i don't know where its gone :o
[21:41] <joe_> so do i need a driver, because it definately isn't working
[21:41] <Slart> !rip
[21:41] <saica> Super8: also, there are lots of other programs that do what UNetbootin does. I don't know what's available for Win7, but Google is your friend!
[21:42] <ardchoille> strywgr: are you using gnome global menu?
[21:42] <Hilikus> how do i run a launcher from the terminal? if it just run it directly it opens in gedit instead of launching the app
[21:43] <strywgr> i cant see the top panel :o
[21:43] <joe_> jpds: do i need to get a driver or something?
[21:43] <macman_> cat video1.vob  video2.vob  video3.vob  > video.vob .. will that actually work ?
[21:43] <strywgr> anyone has any idea whats wrong?
[21:43] <ardchoille> Hilikus: you need to find the actual command that the launcher uses and launch the command
[21:43] <Hilikus> ardchoille: i didn't want to do that to avoid having to change the comnand in 2 different places
[21:44] <Hilikus> is that the only way?
[21:44] <strywgr> i cant see the top panel :o anyone can help me on restoring it?
[21:44] <ardchoille> Hilikus: launching .desktop file won't luanch the command, you actually need to find the command that is used
[21:45] <Hilikus> ardchoille: i know, but like i said i wanted to avoid configuring the command in two places
[21:45] <ardchoille> Hilikus: you only want to "launch" it?
[21:45] <strywgr> anyone knows from where to get back the TOP PANEL?
[21:45] <r0k3tm3n_> i have done two fresh installs on two separate machines, one a desktop and one a laptop.  with in 10-20 min, they both seize up with a black screen and will not take any imput, any idea what could be going on?
[21:45] <r0k3tm3n_> stywgr: u need to find the menu for the panels and re add the top pannel
[21:46] <jpds> joe_: Can you put on paste.ubuntu.com what lspci returns?
[21:46] <supertux1_> r0bby you see some verbose?
[21:46] <strywgr> but why its gone?
[21:46] <supertux1_> r0k3tm3n_
[21:46] <r0k3tm3n_> try right clicking on the bottom pannel
[21:46] <khelvan> Hi, I'm having a problem using unetbootin in Karmic. When running the application I get this error: "vol_id not found. This is required for either install mode. Install the "udev" package or your distribution's equivalent." But I already have udev installed - what is the problem?
[21:46] <ardchoille> strywgr: can you click where the Applications used to be and will that show the menu?
[21:46] <Hilikus> ardchoille: look, if i have a klaunche with foo -init -blah and i need to set it up twice then if i change it i need to remember to change it twice. if i make the new shortcut launch the only launcher then i only change it in the only launcher
[21:46] <joe_> ok
[21:46] <Purpley> What does # and ## mean?
[21:47] <ardchoille> Hilikus: klaunch? Are you in kde?
[21:47] <strywgr> ardcholle : i have tried that all.. no luck.
[21:47] <Hilikus> ardchoille: sorry, typo. i meant launcher
[21:47] <Slart> Purpley: in front of channel names?
[21:47] <ardchoille> ah, ok
[21:47] <supertux1_> Purpley line comment?
[21:47] <strywgr> i dont have any idea how to open programs :o it got all the things.. -> application, etc
[21:47] <supertux1_> Purpley dunno differences
[21:47] <joe_> jpds: http://paste.ubuntu.com/347249/
[21:47] <ardchoille> Hilikus: Ok, I see what you're trying to do, but I don't think that's possible
[21:48] <Hilikus> ardchoille: mmm ok, i'll just write it twice then
[21:48] <Hilikus> thanks
[21:48] <Purpley> Errr I think its line comments here, ill give an example
[21:48] <jpds> joe_: And lshw -c network ?
[21:48] <Purpley> # deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main and ## N.B. software from this repository may not have been tested as
[21:49] <unop> Purpley, # marks the beginning of a comment - meaning it has no effect
[21:49] <linuxghost> help me, im trying to use TP-Link TL-WN620G Wi-Fi USb ive followed the thread https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubunTU 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523 and this http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523#supported the patch step isnot correct for me
[21:49] <supertux1_> dunno one # or #the differences
[21:49] <ardchoille> Purpley: the word "and" should be outside the comment. And are you running intrepid?
[21:49] <r0k3tm3n_> i have done two fresh installs on two separate machines, one a desktop and one a laptop.  with in 10-20 min, they both seize up with a black screen and will not take any input, any idea what could be going on? it is getting an ip according to my router, but i cant ssh into it
[21:49] <DrManhattan> so how long do bans generally last in here?
[21:49] <Slart> Purpley: usually you have two kinds of comments.. there are things that are real commands but they are commented so they are not active.. the user can uncomment these to activate different stuff.. ## is then used for real comments.. stuff that isn't supposed to be uncommented
[21:49] <ardchoille> DrManhattan: you should ask in #ubuntu-ops
[21:49] <Purpley> No im using karmic its the sources.list txt file
[21:49] <supertux1_> i think ## are for normal comment, not commands
[21:49] <tfm> is there a way to uninstall and reinstall totem, because its giving me more numerous and complex problems than I can address.
[21:50] <DrManhattan> nah, I wasn't banned from there
[21:50] <joe_> jpds: http://paste.ubuntu.com/347250/
[21:50] <salmeida> hola
[21:50] <jpds> supertux1_: They're both comments.
[21:50] <supertux1_> ## cannot be uncommented i suppose because not machine readable
[21:50] <ardchoille> DrManhattan: but you need to ask in there as they manage this channel
[21:50] <micromachstick> Hi all..im trying to get songbird/rhyhtmbox/anything else really to sync all my music onto my ipod..it aknowledges my ipod perfectly and then puts the music onto the ipod..but then once i play it, it only does the first four seconds of each song over and over..any ideas?
[21:50] <jpds> joe_: You running network-manager?
[21:50] <supertux1_> yes but one # uncommented leave an action free
[21:50] <Purpley> Alright thanks Slart
[21:50] <ardchoille> Purpley: you have intrepid source lines in your karmic system?
[21:50] <DrManhattan> ardchoille, i don't NEED to. It's not a life or death circumstance. I'll be ok if they can't answer me in here.
[21:51] <supertux1_> ## in that example leave a line without commands
[21:51] <supertux1_> IN THAT EXAMPLE
[21:51] <Taejo> micromachstick: is it just one song or all of them?
[21:51] <joe_> jpds: i dont know
[21:51] <supertux1_> maybe i'm wrong
[21:51] <Purpley> I guess there not active
[21:51] <linuxghost> Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0cf3:0002 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5523 (no firmware)
[21:51] <ardchoille> DrManhattan: if you've been banned inhere and are using a diff nick now, they will see that as ban evasion and ban y ou again. You really need to get that first ban resolved
[21:51] <micromachstick> Taejo: ive tried it with pretty much everything from my collection..different audio file types..and always the same thing. and the same result on songbird and rhyhtmbox
[21:51] <tfm> is there a way to uninstall and reinstall totem, because its giving me more numerous and complex problems than I can address.
[21:51] <zevlag> Is there a way to wipe the system physical disk of a remmote system I have root access to?
[21:51] <supertux1_> i suppose ## are for pure comments not for potential command lines
[21:51] <DrManhattan> ardchoille, well, as I said before, I'll live.
[21:51] <sixtila> installing gstreamer also doesnt play mms in rhythmbox - any soln?
[21:52] <basix> can someone please tell me what is this $HOME/Admin directory for? It looks like a Apache Derby contents in there but I'm not sure who / why was it created. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic
[21:52] <linuxghost> help me, im trying to use TP-Link TL-WN620G Wi-Fi USb ive followed the thread https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubunTU 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523 and this http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523#supported the patch step isnot correct for me, says ambigous
[21:52] <supertux1_> tfm sudo apt-get install -reinstall totem
[21:52] <jpds> joe_: You're running Ubuntu right?
[21:52] <supertux1_> tfm sudo apt-get install --reinstall totem
[21:52] <supertux1_> the second one sorry
[21:52] <tfm> supertux1_: that's the only thing i need to do?
[21:52] <joe_> jpds: its karmic
[21:53] <tfm> supertux1_: just one command?
[21:53] <supertux1_> to reinstall yes
[21:53] <jpds> joe_: So, on your panel there should be an icon like a cable.
[21:53] <supertux1_> yes that does two actions
[21:53] <tfm> supertux1_: do I have to uninstall first?
[21:53] <jpds> joe_: Click on it, and it should list the wireless card.
[21:53] <supertux1_> or, if yout want to be clear, sudo apt-get remove --purge totem && sudo apt-get install totem
[21:53] <supertux1_> tfm
[21:54] <invisime> so when I run 'aplay -l' as I get no sound card found. but when I run 'sudo aplay -l' it works properly. this user is already a member of the 'sound' group. what could be wrong?
[21:54] <tfm> what?
[21:54] <Dr_Willis> I should pOint out that purgeing totem will NOT clearn out the users settings in their home dirs...
[21:54] <supertux1_> that line remove and purge config files and then, if the first action was ok, execute the second action
[21:54] <ardchoille> Dr_Willis: good point
[21:54] <unop> invisime, is the user member of 'audio' ?
[21:54] <Izinucs> Is Jaunty EOL?
[21:54] <supertux1_> try the second one to be clear
[21:54] <joe_> jpds: yes it finds my ethernet fine and when i plug in my usb wireless adapter it shows up right away there also, but with this AIR-CB21AG-A-K9 card it doesn't show up
[21:54] <invisime> unop: yep.
[21:54] <ardchoille> Izinucs: no
[21:54] <r0k3tm3n_>  have done two fresh installs on two separate machines, one a desktop and one a laptop.  with in 10-20 min, they both seize up with a black screen and will not take any input, any idea what could be going on? it is getting an ip according to my router, but i cant ssh into it  {is this a bad question to ask???}
[21:54] <linuxghost> help me, im trying to use TP-Link TL-WN620G Wi-Fi USb ive followed the thread https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubunTU 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523 and this http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523#supported the patch step isnot correct for me, says ambigous
[21:55] <rubyphyte> how can I cp -R things and also get all of the . files?
[21:55] <tfm> Dr_Willis: how do I start completely anew with totem then?
[21:55] <supertux1_> tfm understand?
[21:55] <tfm> supertux1_: do I have to uninstall first?
[21:55] <ardchoille> Izinucs: on'wt be until October of 2010
[21:56] <Slart> r0k3tm3n_: the ssh server isn't enabled by default in the desktop install.. so that you can't ssh in isn't surprising.. not sure what it could be.. have you checked the CD for defects?
[21:56] <chrome_> What's the best windows VM to run ubuntu as guest OS ?
[21:56] <supertux1_> tfm use my second command
[21:56] <Dr_Willis> tfm:  you mean clean out the users settings? they are stored somewhere in their home dir. under .gnome or .gnome2 or .gtk* somewhere
[21:56] <supertux1_> tfm sudo apt-get remove --purge totem && sudo apt-get install totem
[21:56] <Izinucs> I've been having issues connecting to the repos even after changing countries and then having synaptic search for the fastest server.. Error 404 .. sources here --> http://pastebin.com/f2839a744
[21:57] <Slart> chrome_: try the big ones.. vmware, virtualbox (not sure if that's available for windows)
[21:57] <n-iCe> hi how do I acitvate iwconfig wlan0, when I use iwlist scan says wlan0 network is down
[21:57] <r0k3tm3n_> Slart: thanks for ur reply. i already ran a script to install openssh-server, nmap says the port is filtered, hmmm...  the cd is ok, i have ran 3 installs of the disk
[21:57] <linuxghost> help me, im trying to use TP-Link TL-WN620G Wi-Fi USb ive followed the thread https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubunTU 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523 and this http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523#supported the patch step isnot correct for me, says ambigous
[21:57] <chrome_> Slart what about virtual PC?
[21:57] <Slart> chrome_: no idea.. I run windows in a vm on ubuntu.. not the other way around =)
[21:57] <tfm> supertux1_: which command?
[21:57] <supertux1_> tfm sudo apt-get remove --purge totem && sudo apt-get install totem
[21:58] <Slart> r0k3tm3n_: the machines start up ok?
[21:58] <tfm> supertux1_: that one only?
[21:58] <chrome_> :P
[21:58] <Slart> r0k3tm3n_: or it's the install that dies?
[21:58] <supertux1_> READ!
[21:58] <supertux1_> tfm sudo apt-get remove --purge totem && sudo apt-get install totem
[21:58] <r0k3tm3n_> Slart: yes, it installed fine, totally usable until ~10 min the machine totally locks up
[21:58] <Pedrolito> why is the 'reading database by dpkg' part when installing new packages so slow in karmic?
[21:59] <micromachstick> is anybody an expert with media player management with ubuntu? ive been trying for days to figure this out to no avail..
[21:59] <Slart> r0k3tm3n_: check the logs then.. see if you can find anything that looks fatal... if it was one machine I would be guessing something heat related.. but with two machines doing the same thing.. hmm
[21:59] <r0k3tm3n_> chrome_:  VirtualBox is a very good vm software... there are a lot of features in it that i have not seen in others vm software
[21:59] <basix> can someone please tell me what is this $HOME/Admin directory for? It looks like a Apache Derby contents in there but I'm not sure who / why was it created. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic
[22:00] <r0k3tm3n_> Slart: i should say that these were two different machines with two different ubuntu installs, but the same results make me interested
[22:00] <Slart> basix: it's not there on a default install.. not sure what might have installed it
[22:00] <chrome_> ok I'm gonna check that one r0k3tm3n_ , ty
[22:00] <Slart> r0k3tm3n_: are there any other customizations you do to the machines?
[22:00] <r0k3tm3n_> Slart: i am new to many areas of linux. but working on learning =)  which log would i check?
[22:00] <tfm> supertux1_: that didnt fix my problems
[22:00] <unop> basix, does this command return anything?    grep "$HOME/Admin" /etc/passwd
[22:00] <r0k3tm3n_> Slart: just apt-get so far
[22:01] <n-iCe> hi how do I acitvate iwconfig wlan0, when I use iwlist scan says wlan0 network is down
[22:01]  * Afrix polishes chrome_ \\o
[22:01] <Slart> r0k3tm3n_: I would start with /var/log/syslog .. that one gets a little of everything.. also /var/log/kern.log might be interesting
[22:01] <linuxghost> help me, im trying to use TP-Link TL-WN620G Wi-Fi USb ive followed the thread https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubunTU 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523 and this http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523#supported the patch step isnot correct for me, says ambigous
[22:01] <Slart> r0k3tm3n_: it's not something suspend/sleep related? some kind of power saving stuff that kicks in after 20 minutes?
[22:02] <basix> unop: i'm sorry, this directory is in my home directory so its at /home/basix/Admin
[22:02] <basix> unop: and no, that command doesn't return anything
[22:02] <r0k3tm3n_> Slart: PM
[22:03] <unop> basix, my bad.  which user owns this directory and its contents?
[22:03] <basix> unop: it says basix:basix (thats me)
[22:04] <basix> unop: but i dont recollect installing any program that would create such a directory. Besides, it has sub directories which indicate its some sort of apache derby storage directory...
[22:04] <gizmobay> Is there a GUI for beagle? Search that is.
[22:04] <Flipz> Uhm, I just installed ubuntu and I'm having an issue, I was told to install a program called diswrapper or something, I can't find it, does anyone know what it's called?
[22:05] <r0k3tm3n_> gizmobay: yes, 'beagle-search' from the command line i believe
[22:05] <unop> basix, strange. I seem to recall something similar when playing with a package sometime ago - can't remember what tho.
[22:05] <n0kS> êî ñòàâ êóðâè
[22:05] <n0kS> à
[22:05] <Dr_Willis> Flipz:  ndiswrapper - often used for wireless drivers.
[22:06] <Flipz> Thanks Willis
[22:06] <Flipz> any other programs I might need?
[22:06] <Flipz> Dr_Willis: I'm new to ubuntu and I'm trying it out
[22:06] <basix> unop: strange thing is, i have not installed derby. May be i'm being paranoid but I'd like to know what lives in my home directory :P
[22:06] <Flipz> It's hard, but I like it alot
[22:06] <gizmobay> thanks r0k3tm3n_
[22:06] <Flipz> It's less bloated and more fast than windows XP
[22:06] <Dr_Willis> Flipz:  Good Luck getting wireless going with ndiswrappers.
[22:06] <n0kS> john-cen åé ïåäàë

[22:07] <Flipz> Dr_Willis: Is there any other downloadable content I need for ubuntu to be easier?
[22:07] <mkquist> whats the command to restart ssh?
[22:07] <Slart> basix: can you tell me some of the filenames that are in that folder? or pastebin a "ls -lR" from this admin folder?
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> Flipz:  totally depends on what you want and need.
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> Flipz:  start browseing the pacakge maanger and  'ubuntu software center'
[22:08] <Slart> mkquist: sudo service ssh restart  might work
[22:08] <Flipz> I want to change from windows XP to ubuntu, and I want to learn perl
[22:08] <Flipz> okay
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> Flipz:  ive collected about 20lb of perl books over the years. :()
[22:08] <basix> Slart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/347263/
[22:08] <Flipz> I see
[22:09] <Dr_Willis> Flipz:  you might want to focus on Python. Unless you know you need perl knwoledge.
[22:09] <Flipz> which is easier to learn, python or perl?
[22:09] <mkquist> Slart: nope
[22:09] <Flipz> Oh okay.
[22:09] <Dr_Willis> Flipz:  depends on your needs. both are easy to learn the basics
[22:09] <Rom> ahoj

[22:13] <Dr_Willis> !ndiswrapper
[22:14] <basix> Slart: Its Apache derby
[22:14] <basix> Slart: That i know. But who installed it, thats my question :P
[22:14] <Slart> basix: is there a creation date on the folder?
[22:15] <basix> Slart: infact Derby is not installed at all. I'm puzzled and what the heck is that Admin directory?
[22:15] <basix> basix: yeah
[22:15] <john-cena> selqneeeeeeeeee
[22:15] <Slart> basix: you can check you dpkg-log or apt-log for that time.. perhaps you can match to a package install
[22:15] <basix> Slart: good idea
[22:15] <Chunky_Ks> Heya all. I'm trying to set up a webcam server. Most online tutorials suggest using webcam-server, but I'm getting this bug with it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webcam-server/+bug/318187
[22:16] <Chunky_Ks> Can anyone suggest either a workaround for that bug [I couldn't find one either in the bug tracker or on google], or a workable substitute?
[22:17] <microhaxo> So in ubuntu 9.10 xorg.conf is out? where is the video settings stored?
[22:17] <Slart> microhaxo: xorg.conf =)
[22:17] <microhaxo> i dont have a xorg.conf
[22:17] <Slart> microhaxo: but if there isn't one or it's empty it detects the settings
[22:18] <Chunky_Ks> microhaxo: the point is that you don't *need* one, but if you want to modify something yourself, you can create it
[22:18] <Slart> microhaxo: but you can create one if you want.. it will still work afaik
[22:18] <fxubuntu> Hi. Could anyone help me to make a start-up script for Hamachi?
[22:19] <microhaxo> I am going a little tweak crazy with my netbook and powertop reports 25% battery usage with my intel graphics, i want to see if i can fix that with some tweaking, maybe change videocard0 to intel or something.
[22:19] <basix> Slart: nope...nothing that installed it during that time... ls -l should give me the creation date right?
[22:20] <jnega> ls -l gives you last modified i believe

[22:21] <microhaxo> what is hrtimer_start ?

[22:22] <jasman> hi, my webcam can not be activated, camorama pc-camera said unable to capture images. how do I fix it?
[22:23] <Izinucs> How do I correct that ^--^
[22:23] <invisime> so I'm trying to use the troubleshooter here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting and I think I'm close to the solution, but don't know what to do next.
[22:23] <paw162> how record .dmg to ubuntu ??
[22:23] <paw162> in to dvd-r
[22:23] <invisime> sudo aplay -l works, but not aplay -l.
[22:23] <Slyone> i need a programm to warp a face, you know? change the shape of the head, ... is there one good?
[22:24] <invisime> and when I try to add the user to the sound group, I get the message that the group doesn't exist.
[22:24] <LjL> !info xmorph | Slyone
[22:24] <r0k3tm3n> paw162, *.dmg is a mac disk image if i am not mistaken...
[22:24] <LjL> !info gtkmorph > Slyone
[22:24] <Izinucs> Slyone: you might be able to by importing the pic into Inkscape and then put it on a path
[22:24] <basix> Slart: nothing ...
[22:24] <paw162> i know but you don`t know how to do
[22:24] <r0k3tm3n> Slyone, GIMP is pretty good, depends on ur task
[22:25] <Slart> basix: try renaming it.. reboot.. run your usual stuff.. see if something blows up.. if everything works just delete it
[22:25] <invisime> anyone?
[22:25] <Slyone> r0k3tm3n, gimp is complicated
[22:25] <invisime> sound group doesn't exist.
[22:26] <basix> Slart: hm...i did think of doing that but i really want a better way of determining _what_ created it?
[22:26] <microhaxo> So UXA is the best graphics driver / config right now right?
[22:26] <Slart> !who | microhaxo
[22:26] <r0k3tm3n> Slyone, to some people...  bash scripting is complicated also, u just need to learn how to think like the software
[22:26] <microhaxo> Slart: I was talking to ANYONE
[22:27] <Slart> microhaxo: then you need to mention stuff like what version of ubuntu, what kind of graphics card and so on
[22:27] <Izinucs> here's what I get when I try to run sudo apt-get update .. lots of Err 404's .. http://paste.ubuntu.com/347269/ How do I correct that
[22:27] <microhaxo> Does if i check via grep -i uxa i get (0) : driver registered support for the following operations mean that i dont have UXA? - Running Intel GMA 950 graphics
[22:28] <microhaxo> 9.10
[22:28] <r0k3tm3n> Izinucs, try 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade'
[22:28] <gjl> I installed wine 1.1.35 through ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa in ubuntu 64bit 9.10. Did I install the 32bit version?
[22:28] <Izinucs> r0k3tm3n: apt-get update gives all the 404 errors.. upgrade won't work because it's not connecting to the repos
[22:29] <r0k3tm3n> Izinucs, are u connected to the internet?
[22:29] <Izinucs> r0k3tm3n: hope so.. I'm talking to you :)
[22:29] <mka> Izinucs, it looks like those repos are bad (for now). you either comment them out or ignore the 404's
[22:30] <Izinucs> mka: it happens even after changing the default servers..
[22:30] <r0k3tm3n> Izinucs, some people on here are using two different machines...
[22:31] <Izinucs> r0k3tm3n: understand.. that's why the smilie at the end of my last line..
[22:32] <mka> Izinucs, you have a lot of repos there. I suggest you just ignore the 404's unless you can't get some specific packages
[22:32] <r0k3tm3n> Izinucs, looks like u can connect to some servers, but not others, i would suggest a restart, then try again.  then PM me
[22:32] <basix> Slart: i created a new user with admin privileges and logged into it. It doesn't have the Admin directory...
[22:32] <Slart> gjl: I think wine is 32bit.. even on 64bit systems
[22:33] <solidsnake> this probably isnt the best place to ask for python help but... does anyone know a good python library for sound playing?
[22:33] <microhaxo> How do i generate a Xorg.conf to enable UXA in 9.10 ?
[22:33] <Izinucs> mka: it's weird that there are so many repos.. here's my sources list.. http://pastebin.com/f52fc95de
[22:33] <mka> r0k3tm3n, Izinucs, I dont think restarting will solve the problem when he can connect to some servers. I think the problem is not local
[22:33] <pozic> How can I change gdm, such that it doesn't show all the users? Or alternatively be able to delete the users from the overview?
[22:33] <gjl> Slart, ok - thanks. I'm asking because I can't access the audio tab in winecfg and the closest I found to an answer suggested it was due to wine64 being installed instead of wine
[22:33] <pozic> I deleted a bunch of users, but gdm is not updated.
[22:34] <r0k3tm3n> Izinucs, mka, maybe, what package are you trying to add?
[22:34] <mkquist> can ssh be opened graphically on local machine?
[22:34] <Slart> gjl: hmm.. I think wine is 32bit.. but I guess there might be 32 bit and 64bit packages.. I'm not really sure though
[22:34] <Izinucs> mka: r0k3tm3n yea.. restarting doesn't solve much.. I'm just trying to do a apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[22:34] <solidsnake> this probably isnt the best place to ask for python help but... does anyone know a good python library for sound playing?
[22:34] <innerconx> python sound : http://sourceforge.net/projects/pythonsound/
[22:34] <mahngiel> how can i kill whatever has var-lock control?? i had to forcequit an app that needed admin pw, and i don't feel like rebooting to regain access
[22:34] <CVirus> How can I remove the places and the system menus ?
[22:35] <mahngiel> CVirus: right click > edit menus
[22:35] <gjl> When I click the audio tab in winecfg I get the error: 'There is no audio driver currently specified in the registry'
[22:35] <CVirus> mahngiel: I can edit the system menu but not the places
[22:35] <jarray521> What ubuntu repository packages can cause a false positive for Xzibit using rkhunter?
[22:35] <mahngiel> CVirus: ya, sorry, that crossed my mind as i hit enter
[22:35] <r0k3tm3n> Izinucs, mka, a 404 error is where u can connect to the server, but the server cannot find the page requested
[22:35] <Purpley> How do i view my running processes
[22:35] <mka> Izinucs, the servers are probably down and if that is the case, just let it go
[22:35] <gjl> I'm using alsa compiled from source
[22:36] <bastid_raZor> Purpley: top, or install htop is is prettier.
[22:36] <TomFarr> gjl drriver in wine can be not configured ore not installed
[22:36] <CVirus> mahngiel: other suggestions ?
[22:36] <mahngiel> Purpley: system > admin > system monitor
[22:36] <CVirus> mahngiel: I want to get rid of both
[22:36] <innerconx> Purply: from the terminal window type top
[22:36] <mrclean> How can  I use Microsoft  shared printer?
[22:36] <mahngiel> CVirus: i don't even use the menubar. that's how i did it :)
[22:36] <mrclean> How do I set it up?
[22:36] <Izinucs> mka: servers in the U.S. , England, and Main?  Tried all three locations.
[22:36] <CVirus> mahngiel: I'm trying to force certain stuff on the user
[22:37] <innerconx> anyone have any experience with dual head setups?
[22:37] <mahngiel> CVirus: gotchya. sorry, mate
[22:37] <mka> Izinucs, what is this ubuntu-rocks.org thing?
[22:37] <Izinucs> innerconx: yep.. some
[22:37] <r0k3tm3n> innerconx, dual card or dual head?
[22:37] <mrclean> This trial an error method is not working
[22:37] <CVirus> mahngiel: thanks
[22:37] <Slart> !samba | mrclean
[22:37] <TomFarr> gjl: --version
[22:37] <Izinucs> mka: I had synaptic search for the fastest server to my location.. that's what it chose.
[22:37] <mahngiel> my Hardware Drivers app needed to be force-quit... now i am locked out... what can i do w/o having to reboot?
[22:38] <innerconx> great. Have them both working no issues, but on occasion when either the system comes out of a screensaver or the monitors wake up, dual monitirs are gone and have to be reset
[22:38] <pozic> So, does anyone know about how to get gdm to behave like it did before?
[22:38] <innerconx> only happens on occasion, one of those little problems that are driving me crazy
[22:38] <TomFarr> pozic what problem?
[22:38] <mka> Izinucs, ok, but is there a package you cannot install because of these errors?
[22:38] <Izinucs> innerconx: might be a driver issue for your video card.
[22:38] <innerconx> Ubuntu 9.10 ATI card
[22:38] <pozic> TomFarr: It shows at least one user, that isn't a user anymore.
[22:38] <Izinucs> mka .. not sure.. haven't tried..
[22:39] <pozic> TomFarr: and I don't like it that it shows the user names.
[22:39] <con-man> if in Nvidia settings manager is says that the connection link is dual, does that mean SLI is enabled?
[22:39] <pozic> TomFarr: Ideally, I would like to configure a default user name, such that I only have to input my password in the common case.
[22:39] <jeeves_Moss> what would cause postfix not to start @ boot, and when I pull a "/etc/init.d/postfix reload" I get "error: unknown command: 'quiet-reload'".   This is a v-hosted system
[22:39] <TomFarr> pozic: install xdm and configure like your like
[22:39] <mka> Izinucs, you have far more than enough repos
[22:39] <pozic> TomFarr: on a desktop/laptop machine there are not commonly 1000s of users ;)
[22:40] <pozic> TomFarr: xdm is a bit too simplistic.
[22:40] <Michalxo> hello! I have a problem.. I miss my bluetooth-applet icon after I turned my bluetooth OFF by software.. HW is on.. how do I get it back to "visible state"? It says that it runs
[22:40] <pozic> TomFarr: I also don't like that I cannot disable the sound in gdm now.
[22:40] <pozic> TomFarr: they changed far too much stuff which cannot be disabled.
[22:40] <kleus> halp
[22:40] <kleus> my dvd-rom drive isn't working
[22:40] <mrclean> I need to print to a printer that is connected to an XP machine, (shared).
[22:40] <kleus> i put the dvd in it and it doesn't recognize
[22:40] <pozic> TomFarr: I read the configuration file, but there are no options, because the Gnome folks are allergic to options.
[22:40] <kleus> no cd or dvd i have is currently working
[22:41] <mka> kleus, do you put an original dvd?
[22:41] <GiantTalkingCow> pozic: Yep. If I was to install Ubuntu, I'd go with 9.04 for the forseeable future. Until certain options are ironed out.
[22:41] <kleus> mka, yes
[22:41] <TomFarr> pozic: all what you want can configured, just try...
[22:41] <Izinucs> mka: you'd think.. it looks like the intrepid -updates, -main, -restricted... are the ones giving issues.. those should always be active.. most of the others are for other packages that I like to keep on top of .. and they seem to be functional
[22:41] <pozic> TomFarr: I tried.
[22:41] <mka> kleus, is it encrypted?
[22:41] <kleus> mka,  think it's a problem with my fstab file (or something like it)
[22:41] <mahngiel> my Hardware Drivers app needed to be force-quit... now i am locked out... what can i do w/o having to reboot?
[22:41] <GiantTalkingCow> As for Gnome and options, I really wish someone would fork it, but given the amount of work that'd require, I don't see it happening.
[22:41] <kleus> mka, i've been trying with normal cds and dvds
[22:41] <pozic> TomFarr: why do you think it is possible to configure it?
[22:42] <kleus> mka, none seems to work
[22:42] <mka> kleus, show me your /etc/fstab then
[22:42] <pozic> TomFarr: SoundOnLogin=false
[22:42] <pozic> TomFarr: I already set that option for example, but it does not work.
[22:42] <Dr_Willis> I rember when ximian sort of kinda forked gnome.. :) but who rembers ximian now...
[22:42] <r0k3tm3n> i am looking to setup a SFTP server to share access to files, how do i restrict the login user to certain directories?
[22:42] <kleus> mka, can you give me the url where i can post it?
[22:42] <kleus> pastebin right?
[22:43] <pozic> GiantTalkingCow: yes, 9.10 is a giant cluster fuck. That's how they say that in proper English, right?
[22:43] <mahngiel> how about killing a program's root powers after it's been force-quit?
[22:43] <TomFarr> pozic:  try change the sound theme
[22:43] <mka> Izinucs, what does ddebs.ubuntu.com repos differ to those of archive.ubuntu-rocks.org?
[22:43] <Dr_Willis> 9.10 is using all the latest cutting edge stuff for a reason.. to get things ironed out befor the next LTS.. :)
[22:43] <mka> kleus, yes of course
[22:43] <mahngiel> pozic: it is, indeed. :)
[22:44] <kleus> mka, http://pastebin.com/d175a3566
[22:44] <pozic> TomFarr: changing the sound theme? For which user?
[22:44] <mka> kleus, you're damn right
[22:44] <r0k3tm3n> i am looking to setup a SFTP server to share access to files, how do i restrict the login user to certain directories?
[22:44] <innerconx> rok3tm3n: there is a good tutorial here to set up vsftp https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[22:44] <kleus> mka, i had a similar problem in an old instalation, i managed to solve it, but i had to format the pc, now i don't know how to solve it
[22:45] <kleus> mka, can you point out how to solve this issue?
[22:45] <balloooza> I am looking to do this as a normal user: echo "1" >> /dev/ttyUSB0 ------- and also this needs to be done to an arduinio at 9600 speed, right now, I do not think I have nececary permissions
[22:45] <mka> kleus, do you know your DVD drive device file (ie is it scd0)?
[22:45] <pozic> r0k3tm3n: you are asking the wrong questions.
[22:45] <Izinucs> mka: yea.. I've been looking at those.. I'm not sure where they are coming from.. they appear to be main repos for intrepid but have issues possibly because of the address line containing "binary-i386/Packages.gz" in the address line
[22:45] <kleus> mka, no idea
[22:45] <mka> kleus, put a line to mount it at the fstab file
[22:45] <kleus> mka, how? =s sorry but i'm not the most advanced linux user
[22:46] <pozic> r0k3tm3n: and you should just search Synaptic or whatever interface you use for SFTP and then read the fine manual.
[22:46] <mka> kleus, are you using a laptop or desktop?
[22:46]  * jasman Hoooreeeeeeeeeeeeeee akhirnya bisa juga jalan mIRC di linux
[22:46] <TomFarr> pozic: hm. I think it can be configured, but how I don't know
[22:46] <kleus> mka, laptop
[22:46] <balloooza> r0k3tm3n: that is done using the normal directory and file permissions in linux
[22:46] <r0k3tm3n> pozic: thanks for your help!
[22:46] <pozic> TomFarr: if I cannot configure it, the usability experts failed.
[22:46] <mka> kleus, it's probably scd0
[22:46] <kleus> yes, probably
[22:46] <mka> kleus, try "ls -l /dev/scd0" and paste HERE the output
[22:47] <r0k3tm3n> innerconx: thanks for that link, i had not seen vsftpd before
[22:47] <pozic> TomFarr: (for the simple reason that I can patch or rewrite gdm such that it does work)
[22:47] <innerconx> very simple and easy set up
[22:47] <kleus> mka, lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-12-26 15:04 /dev/scd0 -> sr0
[22:47] <r0k3tm3n> balloooza, ok, that makes sense, thanks!
[22:47] <balloooza> r0k3tm3n: if you want to restrict a user from a directory just make in non "executable" to those people
[22:47] <mahngiel> c'mon guys. somebody HAS to know... i'd hate to stop my uploads to reboot. i need my root powers back from a force-quit app
[22:47] <pozic> I think I will just install kdm and wait one second more for my machine to boot.
[22:47] <Michalxo> does anyone knows, how to bring up bluetooth to turned on state via CMD?
[22:47] <pozic> mahngiel: what do you want?
[22:48] <mka> kleus, paste this on /etc/fstab "/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom iso96660,udf defaults 0 0"
[22:48] <mahngiel> i had to forcequit the hardware drivers' app cuz it froze for 3 hours. now i can't install/remove prgms
[22:48] <mahngiel> pozic: due to E: var-lock
[22:48] <Izinucs> mka: what's the difference between a repo beginning with deb http://<address> vs. deb http://*ddebs*.<address line>
[22:48] <TomFarr> pozic: I not sure it. get out the sount driver from /boot/loader.rc
[22:48] <mka> kleus, or alternatively "/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom auto defaults 0 0"
[22:48] <TomFarr> sound*
[22:48] <kleus> mka, i'll try that one if this doesn't work
[22:49] <mka> Izinucs, it's the first time I see ddebs
[22:49] <pozic> TomFarr: I don't have that file.
[22:49] <mahngiel> pozic: is there a way to regain my power w/o reboot?
[22:49] <TomFarr> pozic loader.conf?
[22:49] <pozic> mahngiel: I have no idea what E: var-lock is supposed to mean.
[22:49] <Izinucs> mka: maybe I'll just comment them out and see what happens.
[22:49] <coz_> mahngiel,  I am not sure I understand
[22:49] <pozic> mahngiel: can you do Control-Alt-F1?
[22:50] <balloooza> r0k3tm3n: so you could make a group (sys > admin > users&groups) then let that group be able to execute the folder (there is a gui tool to do it if you right click on a folder)
[22:50] <pozic> mahngiel: a machine rarely locks up completely, especially new machines having more than one core.
[22:50] <mahngiel> the Software manager is waiting for 'other software managers to quit'. the last mgr was Hardware Drivers...
[22:50] <pozic> mahngiel: so, do Control-Alt-F1
[22:51] <protojay> pozic: tell that to my laptop ;)
[22:51] <coz_> generally  a system that locks up is likely to be an incorrectly installed video driver
[22:51] <pozic> protojay: ?
[22:51] <pozic> protojay: it works here.
[22:51] <Izinucs> mka: looks like it's fixed.. no more errors.. weird
[22:51] <protojay> pozic: i meant your comment about a machine nrarely locking up
[22:52] <Purpley> Hey guys Im trying to re-do a software installation and I need to uninstall it before trying, problem is the thing im doing isn't in the Synaptics package manager
[22:52] <mka> !yay|Izinucs
[22:52] <chrome_> the 64 bit ubuntu is available only for AMDs 64, not intel?
[22:52] <Purpley> How do i uninstall it?
[22:52] <[R]> does anyone know how to make usb work in virtualbox in ubuntu 9.10?
[22:52] <Purpley> I think it might  of been libaries
[22:52] <balloooza> r0k3tm3n: I am using ssh to transfer files with sshfs, there is a great guide to setup the shares so that they mount automaticly when there is an internet connection, and then unmount when it is lost, if you are thinking ablut opening it up to the outside world (ok security wise) make sure all accounts have STRONG RaNd0m passwords, and get a dyndns from dyndns.com
[22:53] <Izinucs> mka: now I'm off to reinstall windows for my son.. that's a two day process with all the updates, drivers, configuration, software install etc.. argggg.
[22:53] <pozic> protojay: my machine locked up because of Ubuntu incompetence, but now everything is ok. I can basically let it run as long as I want.
[22:53] <pozic> Izinucs: uh, why?
[22:53] <Izinucs> pozic: he doesn't like linux.. :(
[22:53] <Purpley> How do I delete folders via the terminal?
[22:53] <pozic> Izinucs: humans don't like change.
[22:53] <pozic> Izinucs: Windows users are generally clueless.
[22:53] <balloooza> Purpley: rm -rf /folder
[22:54] <pozic> Izinucs: he will thank you in 10 years.
[22:54] <Izinucs> pozic: he's not human.. he's an alien teenager
[22:54] <Purpley> ahhh thanks
[22:54] <pozic> Izinucs: I wish my parents gave me a Linux box 10 years ago.
[22:54] <Purpley> If I delete the folder would the thing in the folder still be installed on my computer?
[22:54] <pozic> Izinucs: (and especially having clued in parents)
[22:55] <pozic> Izinucs: but I was not so lucky.
[22:55] <Andre> pozic: how so?
[22:55] <balloooza> Purpley: can you say that a diferent way
[22:55] <fuhrmann> this is the chat of ubuntu?
[22:55] <Izinucs> pozic: I'll set him up with a dual boot knowing he'll get infected.  At least after that he'll be able to get into something and continue his work..
[22:55] <kleus> mka, i think it worked, thanks
[22:55] <pozic> Andre: my parents are clueless w.r.t. computers.
[22:55] <Andre> fuhrmann: this is the chat of ubuntu
[22:55] <mka> kleus, no problem
[22:55] <babbio> hi guys i have a problem.....i have an lcd full hd with a vga port....i would like to connect my pc to this fullhd tv but after the grub splash screen i have the following message "mode not supported", i know that my tv is fullhd so it support the 1920x1080 resolution but how to start ubuntu with that resolution?????
[22:55] <Purpley> I have Tor's libaries installed on my computer, I need to reinstall them, How do i get rid of them?
[22:56] <macman_> can you delete a gpt (guid partition) with ubuntu or any linux distro ?
[22:56] <Purpley> They dont show in the synaptics manager
[22:56] <balloooza> Purpley: OK, so was it compiled
[22:56] <mahngiel> sorry about that... ctrl+alt+f1 sent me to xterm
[22:56] <kleus> mka, it reads the cd
[22:56] <Purpley> How do i get rid of it?
[22:56] <kleus> but
[22:56] <pozic> mahngiel: no
[22:56] <fuhrmann> hauhua, I am in Mandriva, and i'm testing this,"IRC"
[22:56] <mahngiel> was there a tip how to get around that previous issue?
[22:56] <kleus> i get this message trying to open it
[22:56] <kleus> Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
[22:56] <kleus> mount: only root can mount /dev/sr0 on /media/cdrom
[22:56] <pozic> mahngiel: xterm and a pseudo-terminal are two different things.
[22:56] <balloooza> Purpley, did you use ./configure make make install to install them?
[22:57] <pozic> mahngiel: anyway, just input your user name there and your password and login.
[22:57] <mahngiel> pozic: wherever i went, i didn't like it. :)  anyways. i'm not that advanced yet. i just relogged
[22:57] <Purpley> i did ./configure
[22:57] <mahngiel> pozic: lol. on relog, i was still w/o GUI. but, anyways, i restarted
[22:58] <balloooza> Purpley, OK so have you done sudo make install yet?
[22:58] <Purpley> no
[22:58] <Purpley> Wait it isn't installed is it?
[22:58] <mahngiel> so how do you fix being locked out if you have to force-quit the app?
[22:59] <balloooza> Purpley, no you havent
[22:59] <Purpley> hmmm
[22:59] <DaZ> Purpley: configure configures makefiles, make compiles sourcecode
[22:59] <mka> kleus, replace defaults by "ro,noauto,user,exec"
[22:59] <DaZ> Purpley: and make install installs it, but use checkinstall instead [;
[22:59] <Purpley> oh
[22:59] <TuxMan> hi
[22:59] <balloooza> Purpley, make "makes" it, and sudo make install installs it, so if you have only done ./configure it is not installed yet
[22:59] <kleus> mka, what do you mean?
[23:00] <mka> kleus, the line of /etc/fstab
[23:00] <TuxMan> I have several zip files, such as ddd01.zip , ddd02.zip... etc...they all form only a single file inside,how to extract them in the terminal??
[23:00] <balloooza> DaZ, we just said the same thing
[23:00] <DaZ> balloooza: we didn't.
[23:00] <DaZ> balloooza: you keep repeating bs about make install
[23:00] <DaZ> which is the worst way [;
[23:00] <Andre>  chillout
[23:00] <kleus> mka, done
[23:00] <kleus> reboot then i'll try again
[23:00] <mka> kleus, make it like "/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto,exec 0 0"
[23:01] <bobito> Any chance I can get help opening a port?  I've forwarded it on my router, opened it in ufw and iptables, and transmission should be listening to the port, but bopth transmission, nmap, and an online service still see it as closed.  I'm working off hardy, and can't find any online manual that I haven't already tried
[23:01] <TuxMan> I have several zip files, such as ddd01.zip , ddd02.zip... etc...they all form only a single file inside,how to extract them in the terminal?? I tried unzip ddd01.zip but it only extracted the first file
[23:01] <mka> kleus, you dont have to reboot
[23:01] <Purpley> Then how do I uninstall something? Because when i put in the command "tor" it says tor is running, therefore tor is installed somewhere
[23:01] <mka> just take out the cd and re-insert it
[23:01] <kleus> mka, ok
[23:01] <jmyers1> I just watched an AMAZING video on youtube of a guy with MY video card, running an amazing desktop with full 3d acceleration, and compiz?  Is this compiz what caused his desktop to be so cool with the windows vista multiple desktop vibe?
[23:02] <bobito> Tuxmax: find an HJsplit equivalent for linux
[23:02] <DaZ> jmyers1: unfortunately yes.
[23:02] <balloooza> Purpley, hmm I am confused now, do you think that you installed it yet?
[23:02] <DaZ> jmyers1: if it was on kde then he just used kwin
[23:02] <Purpley> No I did install it
[23:02] <kleus> mka, still not working
[23:02] <jmyers1> I'm less excited about compiz, and more excited that it's POSSIBLE to have 3d acceleration with my video card! lol  ATI / Linux relationship blows. :(
[23:02] <Purpley> Hold on ill show you what the terminal is saying
[23:02] <kleus> now it doesn't even mount
[23:03] <balloooza> Purpley, use pastebin

[23:06] <owen1> after upgrading to koala I got no audio. i added myself to audio group and it's ok on firefox videos. but on mplayer i hear sound only with sudo. any hints?
[23:07] <kleus> mka, i'll try
[23:07] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. if an audio codec is --> MPEG 1 Audio, Layer 2   - is that the same as 'mp3' ?
[23:07] <wrobel_> Hej
[23:07] <bobito> Can anyone porint me in the right direction for the Port Forwarding issue I mentioned?  I already tried all the online help files I could find
[23:07] <macman_> hehe
[23:07] <jmyers1> DaZ: why the unfortunately comment when I ask about compiz?
[23:07] <macman_> can you delete a gpt (guid partition) with ubuntu or any linux distro ?
[23:07] <Slart> Dr_Willis: isn't mp3 mpeg layer 3?
[23:08] <Dr_Willis> Slart:  not sure. got a little portable mp4 video player from santa. and the  Codecs of the example video says taht in the gnome properties
[23:08] <wrobel_> pl?
[23:08] <Dr_Willis> Slart:  trying to figure out how to encode TO the proper video for mat for it
[23:08] <tfm> can anyone see what song is playing when they play internet radio using TOTEM (MoviePlayer)????????????
[23:08] <Jamed> !pl | wrobel_
[23:08] <blistov> i have an md device i accidentally created, at /dev/md_d1.  It seems to randomly bind one of three devices at boot, and i cant delete it.  anyone have any idea's?
[23:08] <Slart> Dr_Willis: actually, I have no idea what the difference is between layer 1,2,3.. but still.. I thought the 3 came from layer 3
[23:09] <Rabbitbunny> Trying to burn a copy of my XP Home CD as the shiney bit fell off this blue one. I right clicked on the *.iso and selected burn. I put a blank in there. It says 'Preparing to write'. For about the last 13 minutes. How long is this gonna take?
[23:09] <Dr_Willis> Slart:  yea. Im still trying different optiosn to encode to this thing.. and different programs.
[23:10] <snayth> Doing a new install of Ubuntu on my Intel 64bit laptop. Which version of Karmic 9.10 would be best to use? It is Intel not AMD ??
[23:10] <Dr_Willis> file Sample\ Video.avi
[23:10] <Dr_Willis> Sample Video.avi: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 320 x 240, video: XviD, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 1 or 2 (stereo, 44100 Hz)
[23:10] <Slart> snayth: try the 64bit ubuntu
[23:10] <Slart> snayth: amd64 works on both intel and amd
[23:10] <DaZ> snayth: amd64 is the architecture
[23:11] <DaZ> and it's both amd and intel
[23:11] <tfm> can anyone see what song is playing when they play internet radio using TOTEM (MoviePlayer)????????????
[23:11] <giantpune> hey guys.  is there any trick to get ubuntu 9.10 to recognise a SD card reader any faster?
[23:11] <Dr_Willis> tfm:  if you use more ??'s people will pay more attention to you for such critical questions/problems.
[23:11] <snayth> Slart: There is just a straight 64bit - Thought there was only a 64bit that is for the AMD cpu chipset ? ?
[23:11] <giantpune> mine takes 5 minutes after connected
[23:12] <tfm> Dr_Willis: im already using more ??'s
[23:12] <Frijolie> I keep getting error message "an uncaught exception was raised: [Errno 2] No such file or directory" when attempting to make a USB Live CD
[23:12] <Frijolie> what's causing that?
[23:12] <Slart> snayth: no, it's for both amd and intel.. I think amd was the first to come up with the consumer technology.. I think intel licensed it.. or something like that
[23:12] <Frijolie> it goes all the way through ~99% then gives that error message
[23:12] <Frijolie> tried to boot to the USB drive afterwards and it crashes
[23:13] <Frijolie> I even formatted the USB drive prior to attempting to make it a Live CD
[23:13] <kleus> mka, it's still the same
[23:13] <snayth> Slart; So just download and usde the AMD 64bit and be good to go huh ?
[23:13] <Jamed> Frijolie: try keeping it on one line, that makes it easier to follow your question
[23:13] <DaZ> snayth: yes.
[23:13] <Slart> Dr_Willis: here's the difference.. it seems it's actually different codecs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-1_Audio_Layer_I  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-1_Audio_Layer_II  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-1_Audio_Layer_III
[23:13] <snayth> Daz: Thank you.
[23:13] <Slart> snayth: yup
[23:13] <tfm> Dr_Willis: im already using more ??'s
[23:13] <Frijolie> Jamed, that would be a long response, but thanks for the advice.
[23:13] <tfm> can anyone see what song is playing when they play internet radio using TOTEM (MoviePlayer)????????????
[23:14] <snayth> Slart: Thank you as well! I always try to make things more confusing for myself :)
[23:14] <Slart> Dr_Willis: there's also a general article about it here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-1  about 3/4 down.. under audio =)
[23:15] <Slart> snayth: hehe... you're welcome
[23:17] <Jamed> Frijolie: did you try unetbootin to create the usb? i got it to work with it
[23:18] <Dr_Willis> Slart:  yea the thing came with an encoder tool for windows.. going to have to try it in wine.  need to track down a progarm that can 'convert videos to be just like 'THIS' video.. ' :) for example. heh
[23:18] <Frijolie> Jamed, well that's how I installed Ubuntu on this machine (USB drive) but I'm trying to create another and it's not working. Never heard of unetbootin before
[23:19] <Slart> Dr_Willis: for any question involving movie conversion the answer is always mencoder+lots of free time =)
[23:19] <Jamed> Frijolie: in jaunty or any newer version you can install it from the repos and on http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ theres also a windows binary
[23:19] <Dr_Willis> Slart:  yep..  seeing if any of the presets in winff/handbrake are suitable.. so far none are.
[23:19] <tfm> IM MAD AND I DONT CARE WHO KNOWS IT. My totem randomly cuts out and buffers back very slowly. OTHER PLAYRES DONT DO THAT. Plus it wont show what song is playing
[23:20] <Dr_Willis> tfm:  one of the many reasons i never use totem..  have fun.
[23:20] <Frijolie> Jamed, I'm on Karmic so maybe I'll try that from the repos. I didn't checksum the .iso file so maybe that's part of it. I'm redownloading it again and will see if that was the problem
[23:21] <Jamed> Frijolie: you should checksum it, to ensure the download went allright
[23:21] <_Lau_> j #login-essen.de
[23:21] <owen1> after upgrading to koala I got no audio. i added myself to audio group and it's ok on firefox videos. but on mplayer i hear sound only with sudo. any hints?
[23:21] <tfm> Dr_Willis: totem has worked PERFECTLY for years, and worked with the media buttons on my computer
[23:22] <Frijolie> Jamed, I know..that's why i'm downloading a new version of .iso and will then check the MD5s then Ill try the USB creator again
[23:23] <macman_> question .. i want to arrange icons on my desktop by name .. do i have to do this in gconf-editor or is  there another way
[23:24] <dexter> what is a good partion size for ubunut
[23:24] <chalcedony> i have 9.04, is there any particular reason why i'm having trouble with firefox and Open Office being slow?
[23:24] <Slart> chalcedony: yes.. the reason is "firefox" and "openoffice" ;)
[23:24] <Dr_Willis> tfm:  ive never had it work right.. and i have no mediabuttons.. I got an old 20lb IBM clicky-clacky keyboard.
[23:24] <Slart> chalcedony: I'm not sure if they are slower on 9.04 than on any other version though
[23:25] <m4rzito> hi to all
[23:25] <tfm> IM MAD AND I DONT CARE WHO KNOWS IT. My totem randomly cuts out and buffers back very slowly. OTHER PLAYRES DONT DO THAT. Plus it wont show what song is playing
[23:25] <sixtila> why is not gparted allowing me to resize my partition where ubuntu is ?
[23:25] <sixtila> aint that possible
[23:25] <tfm> can anyone see what song is playing when they play internet radio using TOTEM (MoviePlayer)????????????
[23:25] <chalcedony> Slart, no.. they were fine.. until lately.
[23:25] <Frijolie> also, is there a way to force password change upon first log in after creating multiple user accounts?
[23:26] <chalcedony> Slart, maybe the last updates
[23:26] <Sonjaaa> admiral hoshi is gay!
[23:26] <kleus> how  can i see what's the mount pint of my dvd drive?
[23:26] <kleus> point*
[23:27] <Slart> chalcedony: might be.. I'm not using 9.04 myself so I can't check myself
[23:27] <chalcedony> sigh
[23:28] <chalcedony> seriously i had to restart firefox today.. and open office won't open a calc file it's just sitting there.
[23:28] <cannonball> Hi all, I'm trying to figure out how to control the group that /dev/sdb* character devices are owned by (auto created when plug sony mp3 player in).   I've been googling and grepping, not finding anything yet.  Any pointers or url's?
[23:28] <emet> is the PS3 a UPnP media player?
[23:28] <Slart> cannonball: I would check udev rules.. I'm not sure if that's the right way but that's what I would start looking at
[23:29] <cannonball> Slart: that's what I've been doing, thanks.  I suspect there is something global somewhere that I have to override, I just have to find it...
[23:29] <ctmjr> kleus: look in /etc/fstab
[23:29] <kleus> ctmjr, that's the problem, my cd-rom wasn't there, and now i'm not sure how to include it there
[23:30] <kleus> ctmjr, mka, as been helping me, but it's still not working, i'm thinking he's trying to mount the wrong device
[23:31] <GruSum> sixtila2: cause it is mounted <<??>>
[23:31] <sixtila2> gotcha thanks
[23:31] <chalcedony> does killall soffice.bin work? the calc i was trying to open is just sitting there saying 'calculating'
[23:32] <GruSum> sixtila2: np
[23:32] <zleap> issyl0, you there
[23:32] <issyl0> zleap: yes.
[23:32] <jtaji> chalcedony: 'xkill' is handy for that
[23:32] <zleap> you were chatting in im, then i got a message saying you were away
[23:32] <chalcedony> jtaji, xkill ?
[23:32] <issyl0> zleap, I am ;)
[23:32] <chalcedony> it won't let me click on it
[23:33] <guil> does anyone know the version of netbeans I have to use to download the version with Tomcat?
[23:33] <guil> i got one but didn't come with it
[23:34] <ctmjr> kleus: what does ls /dev/hd*
[23:36] <Ose> can anyone help me get my comp online? I have an USB wifi dongle that did work, until the network changed. I got help with getting it on last time, but because of the new encryption settings I can't do it again on my own
[23:37] <kleus> ctmjr, ls: cannot access /dev/hd: No such file or directory
[23:38] <evilbug> i got a toshiba satellite l500 and i'm having trouble making the wifi work.
[23:38] <aeon-ltd> evilbug: have you looked up ndiswrapper?
[23:39] <evilbug> aeon-ltd: i haven't. doing that right now.
[23:40] <ctmjr> kleus: did you include the * /dev/hd*
[23:40] <kleus> yup
[23:40] <kleus> ctmjr, yup
[23:41] <kleus> ctmjr, ls: cannot access /dev/hd*: No such file or directory
[23:41] <aeon-ltd> kleus: it didn't mean /dev/hd* literally *=anything
[23:42] <kleus> oh, how's that?
[23:42] <Armageddon> let's say I have a radio, which application do I use to connect to the radio and play music for other people to listen to ? something like shoutcast !
[23:42] <macman_> wow ogmrip takes for ever
[23:42] <kleus> aeon-ltd, how's that?
[23:42] <aeon-ltd> kleus: do you have a gui or command line file manager?
[23:43] <kleus> aeon-ltd, what do you mean? i'm using the terminal =s
[23:43] <aeon-ltd> kleus: ok do this 'cd /dev'
[23:43] <kleus> aeon-ltd, done
[23:43] <aeon-ltd> kleus: then 'ls' or 'dir'
[23:43] <Ose> is there any way to check what sort of encryption a network has? I know its WEP something, but not exact
[23:43] <aeon-ltd> kleus: can you see a hd* now?
[23:43] <kleus> ok, i have dvd in it
[23:44] <kleus> no hd though
[23:44] <aeon-ltd> kleus: what else?
[23:44] <orpheubig> ola
[23:44] <orpheubig> alguem fala pt
[23:45] <guil> eu falo

[23:45] <kleus> aeon-ltd, my problem is with the dvd drive, and i wastrying to mount the dvd by typing /dev/cdrom, while i should hve mounted with /dev/dvd
[23:45] <Armageddon> let's say I have a radio, which application do I use to connect to the radio and play music for other people to listen to ? something like shoutcast ! does anyone have an idea ?
[23:45] <kleus> no?
[23:45] <kleus> hmm... nvm
[23:45] <kleus> Armageddon, rhytmbox
[23:46] <aeon-ltd> kleus: ok problem should be solved then, now that you have all the info you need
[23:46] <aeon-ltd> Armageddon: what kind of radio?
[23:46] <mMezquitale> Armageddon, youre talking about broadcasting over the internet using your ubuntu machine?
[23:46] <Sonjaaa>  what do you use to convert avis to a normal dvd disc with menus etc
[23:46] <kleus> aeon-ltd, it didn't worked... my dvd drive is still not working properly
[23:47] <Slart> Sonjaaa: devede is pretty nice
[23:47] <Armageddon> mMezquitale, no, I'm talking about connecting to an already made server and upload music
[23:47] <Slart> Sonjaaa: also qdvdauthor and dvd styler
[23:47] <aeon-ltd> kleus: what was the original problem?
[23:47] <kleus> aeon-ltd, my dvd drive isn't woking. I'll paste my fstab in pastebin.
[23:47] <aman> Hi
[23:48] <aeon-ltd> kleus: have you checked all your hardware first?
[23:48] <kleus> http://pastebin.com/d5cf7b6a5
[23:48] <kleus> aeon-ltd, it's working properly
[23:48] <gl0w_> hey, im having problems with ubuntu on my netbook and was wondering if i could get some help
[23:48] <kleus> aeon-ltd, but only outside ubuntu
[23:48] <Slart> gl0w_: just describe your problems
[23:49] <gl0w_> i get the OS installed, then reboot
[23:49] <mMezquitale> Armageddon, I dont believe anyone is following you, using a server you can download and upload all the music you want, what exactly are you trying to accomplish?  You already mentioned one piece of software, others have mentioned amarok, what is it exactly youre trying to accomplish?
[23:49] <gl0w_> i get a screen that says GRUB loading, then it goes to a blank screen with just a cursor
[23:49] <gl0w_> and just sits there
[23:49] <fromWinToLin> Does anyone here use gPodder 2.1?
[23:49] <yungthrilla43> hello all
[23:49] <mMezquitale> !hello | yungthrilla43
[23:49] <gl0w_> i can reset the machine and get the option to run linux, or in recovery mode, and it will boot into the OS then
[23:49] <gl0w_> but when rebooted properly again it gets the same problem
[23:49] <yungthrilla43> ok well
[23:49] <yungthrilla43> i hqave a issue
[23:49] <pizzalover> hi
[23:50] <yungthrilla43> with karmic
[23:50] <Armageddon> mMezquitale, there is a server already running as a machine, usually from windows they connect to it through shoutcast installed as a module into winamp, how to connect to it from linux ? what application ?
[23:50] <aeon-ltd> kleus: so it works in windows?
[23:50] <yungthrilla43> and my ms webcam
[23:50] <pizzalover> i have a problem with fonts scaling
[23:50] <evilbug> aeon-ltd: from what i'm seeing the toshiba has an atheros card. should i install the win driver for it or is there a linux driver for it?
[23:50] <lvh> Hello. I'd like to use Ubuntu on my carputer. I haven't bought any hardware yet. I'm mostly worried about GPS navigation.
[23:50] <pizzalover> especially true-type
[23:50] <pizzalover> also with transparency, somehow i think those are related
[23:50] <pizzalover> here is a screenshot:  http://imagehost.peoplesprimary.com/~ballsac/December/2009/linux/screens/problem.png
[23:50] <kleus> aeon-ltd, it works with live cd and other boot cds, just doesn't work on ubuntu, and it worked on windows a couple of months back, before i installed ubuntu
[23:50] <lvh> Does anyone know of any UNIX-based navigation software (probably commercial because of the maps) that works like Tomtom or Garmin or similar things?
[23:50] <pizzalover> anyone have the same problem?
[23:50] <yungthrilla43> anyone get the microsoft lifecam  issues fixed on ubuntu?
[23:50] <gl0w_> i wanna say im having a  problem with GRUB but i dunno
[23:50] <aman> Hey, I was wondering if there is somekind of profissional mixer where I can add echo and other effects to the sound
[23:51] <lvh> Windows software that's known to work on Wine is fine too.
[23:51] <Dr_Willis> lvh:  i was thinking i saw some similer feature to that on google maps.. but i dident look into it very much.
[23:51] <Slart> lvh: not sure about "unix based" but there's gpsdrive and a couple of others you can use in ubuntu
[23:51] <aeon-ltd> evilbug: i would reccommend searching first for a native solution, if none is found just use the windows one
[23:51] <mMezquitale> Armageddon, apparently xmms and zinf support shoutcast
[23:51] <lvh> Dr_Willis, ah, right, I could install android instead, that might work :D
[23:51] <yungthrilla43>  anyone get the microsoft lifecam  issues fixed on ubuntu?
[23:51] <Slart> lvh: gpsdrive can use maps from different sources.. openstreetmap or similar and others
[23:52] <Armageddon> mMezquitale, thank you
[23:52] <yungthrilla43> anyone put ubuntu on a cell phone yet?
[23:52] <aeon-ltd> kleus: sorry i've got no other ideas
[23:52] <mMezquitale> aman, looks like you want to install ubuntu studio in your machine
[23:53] <aman> I don't have the necessary equipment to connect mic to my speaker system so I am using my pc
[23:53] <kleus> aeon-ltd, np thanks for your help
[23:54] <lvh> Slart, ah, but I thought gpsdrive just gave you an arrow (eg the azimuth of where you're supposed to be going) instead of "turn left in 300m" type navigation
[23:54] <aman> what part of ubuntu studio will help me?
[23:54] <lvh> Slart, I guess you could sort-of do that by asking Google maps and then extracting the data as a gpx file?
[23:54] <Aleoss> I'm trying to install Flash into Chromium and it keeps giving me "Cound not find package 'adobe-flashplugin'."
[23:54] <yungthrilla43> try
[23:54] <yungthrilla43> linux mint
[23:54] <yungthrilla43> before u try ubuntu studio
[23:55] <Slart> lvh: ahh.. that's true... it only uses the map as a background.. it can't tell roads from fields/sea and such.. those maps cost money.. lots of money
[23:55] <lvh> Slart, yeah, I know
[23:55] <bazhang> !ot | yungthrilla43
[23:55] <lvh> Slart, unfortunately tomtom doesn't hand out their software yet
[23:55] <mMezquitale> yungthrilla43, does linux mint have a real time kernel with all appz already installed and configured?
[23:56] <lvh> Slart, which is stupid since the tomtom one/go navigation things are just linux boxes
[23:56] <Slart> lvh: not sure if they will do something when/if openstreetmap takes off.. but that's still pretty unfinished
[23:56] <pizzalover> I have a problem with fonts SCALING
[23:56] <pizzalover> here is a screenshot:  http://imagehost.peoplesprimary.com/~ballsac/December/2009/linux/screens/problem.png
[23:56] <pizzalover> someone else have this problem
[23:56] <pizzalover> in ubuntu
[23:56] <pizzalover> ?
[23:56] <FloodBot2> pizzalover: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:56] <Slart> lvh: well.. if that software were available to everyone we wouldn't be buying tomtom-boxes, now would we? =)
[23:56] <lvh> Slart, who cares about the software
[23:56] <lvh> Slart, the maps is where the money is
[23:57] <lvh> Slart, you get the software for free now too, there's no way there's only 60 euros worth of hardware in those things
[23:57] <Slart> pizzalover: that imagehost isn't working for me.. just times out
[23:57] <lvh> (but you sure as hell can get em for 60 euros)
[23:57] <Purpley> same here
[23:57] <Slart> lvh: yes.. change software to software/maps
[23:57] <lvh> Slart, i have no problem with paying for maps
