[00:00] <mdk> yeh
[00:00] <panther009> Ok I found firestarter
[00:00] <mdk> when you install it in tty
[00:00] <nightfrog> is the system up to date?
[00:00] <mdk> yeh
[00:00] <mdk> im 9.10
[00:00] <panther009> Now when I proceed it says NOt available in current data
[00:01] <Milp> Hmm do hosting companies allow customers to access the physical server itself if you cant connect to it anymore? Or will they service it if theres no other way?
[00:01] <JoeSomebody> hi, my shares are going away or to sleep or something on my ntfs drives (on karmic) how do i fix this?
[00:01] <JoeSomebody> when i start/stop samba i get  * Stopping Samba daemons  start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 1337: No such process
[00:01] <erUSUL> joe__: MAKEDEV is not needed anymore dev files are created by udev
[00:01] <unop> Milp, some do, some don't - depends on your SLA
[00:01] <JoeSomebody> 1337 was missing and likely was my problem?
[00:02] <Milp> unop SLA?
[00:02] <unop> Milp, Service Agreement
[00:02] <joe__> erUSUL, thanks I will read up
[00:02] <nightfrog> mdk: i had that problem last week on a 5400 and booted into the latest kernel and didnt have that problem
[00:02] <Milp> unop ooh ok, gotta read that thanks
[00:02] <epinky> Milp: if it's a dedicated server they should
[00:02] <mdk> ah i should be fine then
[00:02] <Milp> epinky nope, only a virtual one :/
[00:03] <erUSUL> joe__: would help if you said what you are trying to do
[00:03] <nightfrog> mdk: if you can continue just continue
[00:03] <epinky> Milp: VPS?
[00:03] <JoeSomebody> cummon i cant be the only one
[00:03] <mdk> i just thought i had to edit my menu.lst because it mixed up my kernals so it might work this time
[00:03] <Milp> epinky but maybe theyll agree to fix it/let me fix it if i agree to upgrade to a dedicated one
[00:03] <Milp> yep epinky
[00:03] <JoeSomebody> i been asking you guys since yesterday
[00:03] <joe__> I need to run Xfbdev and it needs a /dev/fb0
[00:03] <nightfrog> mdk: nah
[00:04] <erUSUL> joe__: did you loaded your framebuffer driver?
[00:04] <nightfrog> JoeSomebody: not everyone uses samba so maybe no one here knows
[00:04] <mersault> Hello. I'm trying to install mythbuntu, but the installer can't see my hard disk. I've replicated the problem with a vanilla ubuntu install cd. gparted can see the hard disk though. anyone have any ideas?
[00:04] <panther009> It does ot allow me to install anything from the Add\Remove
[00:05] <panther009> It keeps saying Not Available In Current Data
[00:05] <joe__> erUSUL, should it need it its part of Kdrive, I actaully thought it would just run
[00:05] <joe__> I have been using Kdrive Xvesa and it just runs
[00:06] <erUSUL> joe__: what graphic card do you have? mayve you have to load vesafb atifb or whatever
[00:06] <LuisGMarine> anyone for 100% that banshee is going to be replacing rhythmbox in 10.04?
[00:06] <erUSUL> !lucid | LuisGMarine
[00:06] <epinky> panther009: open a terminal and type: "sudo apt-get update" , then retry
[00:07] <nightfrog> LuisGMarine: would be nice since banshee is nicer
[00:07] <alloosh1> cant see the folders located at /home/user/public_html when I browse to it, I see only the files, but directories are not there
[00:07] <LuisGMarine> nightfrog, for real.  I had to upgrade this laptops install from 8.04 to 9.10 just to use 1.5 >.>
[00:07] <Laeborg> I have some files on one server, that I need to move over to another server (will run this as cronjob) but how? the file must be moved not copied
[00:07] <mdk> Please insert the disc labelled
[00:07] <mdk>  'Ubuntu 9.10 _Karmic Koala_ - Release i386 (20091028.5)'
[00:07] <mdk> in the drive ‘/cdrom/’ and press enter
[00:07] <nightfrog> LuisGMarine: fresh install?
[00:08] <joe__> erUSUL, I dont know its an embedded system Im working on. Xvesa just handled it. I need touch support so I built Tslib, it's compalining of no /dev/fb0
[00:08] <mdk> urm i updated through synaptic
[00:08] <erUSUL> use scp then remove the files
[00:08] <Laeborg> maybe passwordless ssh, i was thinking, but not sure how to setup
[00:08] <erUSUL> mdk: disable the cdrom in the sources. System>Admin...>software Sources first tab
[00:08] <LuisGMarine> nightfrog, lol yea.  I was doing the whole upgrade from 8.04 > 8.10 then I went to upgrade to jaunty but I figured just do a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10
[00:08] <vdubhack> whats the easiest way to find all installed progs. including ones you compiled yourself. I just want to get a list of everything I have installed
[00:08] <nightfrog> mdk: disable the cdrom in your software sources
[00:09] <erUSUL> Laeborg: use public key auth. the web is full of how tos about passwordless ssh
[00:09] <vduck> is right place for install trouble?
[00:09] <nightfrog> LuisGMarine: saved yourself alot of headaches
[00:09] <erUSUL> !clone | vdubhack
[00:09] <vduck> my new thinkpad doesn't like whatever video drivers come on the disk
[00:10] <Laeborg> erUSUL, but how do I have files via ssh?
[00:11] <panther009> epinky...thanks :)
[00:11] <evilsherpa> morning all, um, has anyone here successfully connected to their NAS from an Ubuntu machine, i used to have it connected but did a clean install after a few years and now am unable to get it all together
[00:11] <bastid_raZor> !wifi > n00p
[00:11] <vdubhack> but wont doing it that way leave out what I manually installed and configured?
[00:11] <erUSUL> Laeborg: i allways thought scp could do this --> scp user1@server1:/path/to/files user2@server2:/path/to/destination/folder
[00:11] <epinky> panther009: no problem
[00:11] <n00p> better yet, bastid_raZor: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=899926&postcount=24
[00:12] <LuisGMarine> nightfrog, yeah I noticed that when I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 and I couldn't resize any windows ... I kenw something was deff wrong
[00:12] <n00p> bastid_raZor: please tell me what the type of &who is.
[00:12] <corleone> Is there a batery indicator in ubuntu netbook remix?
[00:12] <LuisGMarine> anyhow unetbootin is ready, bbl
[00:12] <panther009> so would I have to quit everything and do it? because right now its stuck at zero and is saying waiting for other software managers to quit
[00:12] <Laeborg> erUSUL, if I want to do this on server1 i dont need user1@server1 right?
[00:12] <nightfrog> LuisGMarine: its always recommended to do fresh installs
[00:12] <ozzloy> !automate
[00:12] <bastid_raZor> n00p: please keep you comments in this channel and not in a PM
[00:13] <erUSUL> Laeborg: i thought that you said they where two remote servers you access from your desktop/laptop
[00:13] <n00p> bastid_raZor: why, weren't you the one who started that trash with your <bastid_raZor> n00p don't be such a noob?
[00:14] <Laeborg> ye it is, but i need the command to be runned on server 1 and not involving my desktop
[00:14] <lvlefisto> oh, nevermind, i found it
[00:14] <lvlefisto> thanks
[00:14] <erUSUL> Laeborg: ok; then you are right.
[00:14] <vduck> I have a Thikpad SL510, and I can't get the video working to install 9.10
[00:14] <mupa> hello everyone. I need help with my usb wifi adapter. when I start ubuntu it asks me to enter the password for the password ring, but I don't want to do this every time I boot up
[00:14] <vduck> Any body?
[00:15] <vduck> Is there a better place to look for help?
[00:15] <mdk> sorry nightfrog could i get that link again?
[00:15] <bastid_raZor> n00p: troll much?
[00:15] <n00p> bastid_raZor: I have another one of these wireless cards. Would you like one?
[00:15] <erUSUL> vduck: you can try using  vga boot parameter
[00:15] <erUSUL> !boot | vduck
[00:15] <Laeborg> erUSUL, scp is copy/past, i need it to be deleted from server2 after end transfer
[00:15] <n00p> Perhaps you'll have less trouble getting it up and running ;) but I doubt it, they're very buggy.
[00:16] <erUSUL> vduck: vga=791 gives a 1024x768@16bit should work on most systems for installing
[00:16] <n00p> you can call me noob and dick sucker in my pvts all you like bastid_raZor... but it won't make me blush
[00:16] <erUSUL> Laeborg: make an script that first copy the files then removes them
[00:16] <erUSUL> n00p: bastid_raZor please stop
[00:16] <mMezquitale> !ot | n00p
[00:17] <vduck> ah - and I can set the video options before running the installer (don't really want to burn another cd)
[00:17] <panjol> nbvnbv
[00:17] <erUSUL> vduck: yes read the page i linked
[00:17] <Martinp23> lc
[00:18] <puckman> can anyone tell me how to use ext3 instead of ext4 when installing ubuntu?
[00:18] <edbian> I'm looking into starting a new free email account that I can use with evolution.  What do you guys use?
[00:18] <erUSUL> edbian: gmail
[00:18] <edbian> erUSUL: is gmail reliable?  Is there ever down time?
[00:18] <biggerfisch> hi, every time I login, I get errors with 3 of my applets that say 'The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_VinagreApplet".' , 'The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_MultiLoadApplet".' ,and The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet".
[00:19] <erUSUL> edbian: have been for me.
[00:19] <mMezquitale> edbian, i use gmail
[00:19] <spacebison2> puckman: it's under advanced settings when you go to choose the partition.
[00:19] <B3rz3rk3r> puckman, you should just leave the default settings when installing a new version of Ubuntu. easy :)
[00:19] <vduck> thanks erUSUL.
[00:19] <erUSUL> vduck: no problem
[00:20] <edbian> mMezquitale: And what is your experiance with it?  Totally awesome??
[00:20] <B3rz3rk3r> puckman, just make sure its a fresh install and not upgrade
[00:20] <puckman> B3rz3rk3r: thanks but there is an issue with Ubuntu 9.10, ext4 and PS3
[00:20] <TroN-0074> can somebody please tell me what to type in terminal to figure out what type of video card this PC has?
[00:20] <erUSUL> TroN-0074: lspci | grep -i vga
[00:20] <mMezquitale> edbian, its ok because i can configure more than one e-mail account, just dont just pop3, you have to use imap
[00:20] <TroN-0074> thanks
[00:20] <puckman> B3rz3rk3r: found it, its installing on ext3 now, hope that works, this is my 5th reinstall today and it take AGES on PS3
[00:20] <mMezquitale> edbian, i also use gmail on my phone so my phone can automatically check if I have e-mail every 5~10 minutes
[00:21] <edbian> I'm just nervous to dump even more of my self into google.  They're big enough
[00:21] <nightfrog> mdk: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5086971
[00:21] <mdk> thanks
[00:21] <edbian> mMezquitale: That is what I'm going to do but with evolution on my desktop
[00:21] <spacebison2> TroN-0074: lspci
[00:21] <erUSUL> edbian: then use hotmail ;) they have pop3 now iirc
[00:21] <B3rz3rk3r> puckman, installing on PS3 is rather experimental im guessing?
[00:22] <bastid_raZor> puckman: #ubuntu-ps3 if i remember correctly
[00:22] <MrAlexandro> B3rz3rk3r: is it even possible?
[00:22] <fizk_> hey guys,    shouldn't this output be empty:  diff -wBNru -x"/root/a1/*" /root/a1/a2 /root/a1/b1  ??
[00:22] <puckman> bastid_raZor: ah nice one, did not know, thanks!!!
[00:22] <B3rz3rk3r> MrAlexandro, yes, perfectly possible
[00:22] <Laeborg> erUSUL, can I get a perl script to auto type the ssh password?
[00:22] <puckman> bastid_raZor: no on there
[00:22] <fujimitsu> ubuntu on ps3 is no better than its default system really
[00:22] <nightfrog> Laeborg: perl can do anything :-)
[00:23] <erUSUL> Laeborg: do not think so. you could use a expect script.
[00:23] <Hillshum> What could cause some apps, like wget and Chrome, to have very slow DNS lookups?
[00:23] <mMezquitale> Laeborg, if you dont want to use a password use keys, it's more secure but you can only log in remotely from whatever machine have their ssh keys configured
[00:23] <puckman> fujimitsu: eh? Game OS lets you play games, Ubuntu on my PS3 will give me a backup system in case my laptop dies on me.
[00:23] <erUSUL> Laeborg: but as i said earlier (and mMezquitale is saying too) use key pairs
[00:24] <fujimitsu> suit yourself. i rather use ps3 for its intended purpose
[00:24] <Laeborg> Okay, that is called "passwordless ssh" also, right?
[00:24] <aletheia84> for a new ubuntu user is it better for me to install the current long term support version or the latest non long term support version?
[00:24] <TroN-0074> can sobody share on how to configure xorg.conf for an ATI video car? my desktop effects are super slow
[00:25] <MrAlexandro> fujimitsu: can you play the games on it under ubuntu. or will it dual boot or something?
[00:25] <erUSUL> Laeborg: that's a good google search --> "passwordless ssh"
[00:25] <puckman> fujimitsu: thanks for the helpful suggestions.
[00:25] <fujimitsu> MrAlexandro: it would be like a dual boot system
[00:25] <macman> hello all just a quick question i want to make sure im doing this right .. to convert an avi or mpg to dvd format i do d ffmpeg -i <filename> -aspect <whatever> -target ntsc-dvd <filename> ... then i do a dvdauthor -o <folder> -t <filename.mpg> .. after that i can burn with k9copy or a normal burner to dvd correct ?
[00:25] <jarray52> I have a zip drive on an old computer. It appears under places in Ubuntu 9.10 Computer. Is there any way to determine the capacity of the drives that this computer uses?
[00:25] <biggerfisch> does anyone know why several gnome panel applets would encounter errors on login, but after re-adding them they run fine until I next login?
[00:25] <Hillshum> Hmm. It seems to be an ipv6/AAAA DNS issue
[00:26] <spacebison2> aletheia84: I'd go with the newer one unless you're using it in some sort of production environment
[00:26] <TroN-0074> can sobody share on how to configure xorg.conf for an ATI video car? my desktop effects are super slow I will appreciate it
[00:26] <Laeborg> erUSUL, should I generate the key on server 1 (the one i need to connect to the other) or on server 2?
[00:26] <jarray52> argh... meant to say.. I have a zip drive on an old computer. It appears under places in Ubuntu 9.10 Computer. Is there any way to determine the capacity of the disks that this zip drive uses?
[00:26] <mMezquitale> Laeborg, I have a guide that will help you set up your passwordless ssh login, if youre interested
[00:27] <aletheia84> thanks spacebison2.  another question though.  as the versions progress do you need better hardware to keep up with the new versions, because I have a 10 year old toshiba laptop
[00:27] <njsharkracer> anyone know of a better pinball game for ubuntu then emilia pinball?  the game is seriously lacking.
[00:27] <erUSUL> Laeborg: you should generate the key in server1 if i understood your use case
[00:27] <Laeborg> Thank you, mMezquitale
[00:28] <Hillshum> TroN-0074: What driver are you using?
[00:29] <spacebison2> aletheia84: yeah too a point, you might have issues getting a new distro to run on something that old though, if at all. I can only tell to to try it and see.
[00:29] <cabrey> anybody know how i can tell what is taking up the majority of the memory?
[00:29] <spacebison2> aletheia84: you might try xubuntu
[00:29] <TroN-0074> ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250
[00:29] <erUSUL> cabrey: ram ?
[00:30] <aletheia84> thanks for the help spacebison
[00:30] <cabrey> erUSUL, yep
[00:30] <erUSUL> cabrey: probably disk cache. run "free" on a terminal
[00:30] <cabrey> erUSUL, it isn't as indicated by htop, but i'll try that anyway
[00:30] <biggerfisch> cabrey: run system moniter from the sysem -> administration menu and sort the list by ram usage
[00:32] <erUSUL> cabrey: if you are using htop. hit M (capital) to order process by memory usage
[00:32] <Laeborg> Thank you so much, erUSUL and mMezquitale! :D
[00:32] <cabrey> erUSUL, yea Firefox was the largest, but even without it Ubuntu's ram usage is absurd
[00:33] <johnyjj2> hello :)
[00:33] <erUSUL> cabrey: free memory is wasted memory. what is free memory good for?
[00:33] <erUSUL> !ram
[00:33] <cabrey> erUSUL, I want to use virtualbox smoothly
[00:33] <erUSUL> cabrey: what was the free result ? what amount appears as cached ?
[00:33] <johnyjj2> may i ask somebody for help with not working microphone in ubuntu, please?
[00:33] <cabrey> erUSUL, my entire system has come to a screeching halt because the swap had to be used
[00:34] <biggerfisch> cabrey: on the contrary, my ubuntu uses ram more efficiently than systems with m$ and twice the RAM
[00:34] <cabrey> erUSUL, http://pastebin.com/d550e17d7
[00:34] <coz_> johnyjj2,  did you open alsamixer in the terminal and see if anything is muted first?
[00:35] <cabrey> biggerfisch, trust me, i know. this is something weird about Ubuntu this time. I've been fine with it on other systems
[00:35] <johnyjj2> i enter sound recorder, press red button, it doesn't do anything (it is still zero seconds), i press red button again and it asks me "save the recording?"
[00:35] <erUSUL> cabrey: so you have 2 GiB and one is used and the other one is cached seems pretty normal to me
[00:35] <johnyjj2> it doesnt' record
[00:35] <Laeborg> Uh thought I just could 'scp ......' in my perl script, but no :/
[00:36] <nameo0> how can you view the drivers installed on your computer?
[00:36] <panther009> Is it possible to add the trash can on your desktop
[00:36] <cabrey> erUSUL, i'm running xchat and gnome-terminal, doesn't seem normal. 850megs for 2 programs? (plus DE obviously)
[00:36] <erUSUL> Laeborg: a bash script looks better suited
[00:36] <njsharkracer> my laptop barely ever uses more then 300MiB of ram of 2.4GiB available with ubuntu
[00:36] <coz_> johnyjj2,  if you want to talk to someone specifically...type the first 3 letters of their nickname and then press Tab button on the keyboard untill you get the right nick
[00:36] <biggerfisch> panther009: look in the bottom right corner :)
[00:36] <coz_> johnyjj2,  this will alert that person
[00:37] <erUSUL> cabrey: and what did htop showed ?
[00:37] <panther009> :) actually I had created a new one and deleted it :(
[00:37] <panther009> I thought it was on the desktop
[00:38] <biggerfisch> panther009: mine at least, is on my bottom panel
[00:38] <panther009> thats good
[00:38] <cabrey> erUSUL, http://imgur.com/g037j.jpg
[00:38] <johnyjj2> coz_: thanks for the info, i don't know anybody here and my microphone doesn;'t work. I thought I can enter this channel and maybe somebody will know how to fix my problem :)
[00:38] <panther009> Wonder why its not on the desktop
[00:38] <coz_> johnyjj2,  ok first open a terminal   and type     alsamixer
[00:39] <coz_> johnyjj2,   see if anything is muted
[00:39] <coz_> johnyjj2,  or see if any of the volume sliders are set off
[00:39] <johnyjj2> i did it previously, some of those were max, some not - i made all of them max, but it didn't help
[00:40] <TroN-0074> can sobody share on how to configure xorg.conf for an ATI video card? my desktop effects are super slow with an ATI.  I will appreciate it
[00:40] <coz_> johnyjj2,   ok dont forget about nicks..... the channel you should probably be asking in is the #alsa channel   so where you type here just type     /join #alsa
[00:40] <johnyjj2> coz_: i also made everything max in those settings which can be run by clicking right button on sound icon near system clock
[00:40] <baz_> anyone got a answer for this: sudo chrt -v --fifo 99 audacious2
[00:40] <baz_> pid 2223's new scheduling policy: SCHED_FIFO
[00:40] <baz_> pid 2223's new scheduling priority: 99
[00:40] <baz_> Aborted
[00:40] <FloodBot4> baz_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:40] <erUSUL> cabrey: you did not sort them by memory usage. 01:32 < erUSUL> cabrey: if you are using htop. hit M (capital) to order process by memory usage
[00:41] <biggerfisch> panther009: right-click on your desktop and select "create launcher" enter the command "nautilus trash:///" in the correct field and there you go!
[00:41] <cabrey> erUSUL, yes it is, look again
[00:42] <erUSUL> cabrey: sorry i was looking in the VIRT columm :(
[00:42] <bastid_raZor> panther009: there is a way to show it on the desktop.. let me find the right path in gconf-editor
[00:44] <scyx> can anyone point me to a place in the boot process on karmic where i can insert a command BEFORE the networking interfaces AND networkmanager have been upped? i'm trying to do a ifconfig hw ether [mac] command on wlan0 without having to down the device and killing networkmanager first
[00:44] <scyx> tried putting it in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d as suggested earlier, but that doesn't work
[00:44] <panther009> thanks bastid
[00:45] <erUSUL> cabrey: sorry i do not see anything staning out as a waster
[00:45] <cabrey> erUSUL, that's what is confusing me
[00:46] <bastid_raZor> panther009: in terminal type: gconf-editor then navigate to apps>nautilus>desktop you'll see a check box for trash_icon_visible
[00:47] <norbi> hy, my little brother has formatted his linux partitions, the grub has gone, he needs to boot up his windows, can you sugest a solution?
[00:48] <erUSUL> norbi: with the windows install cd boot into recovery console run « fixmbr » more details in ##windows
[00:49] <norbi> thank you a lot!
[00:49] <TroN-0074> where can I find "Restricted Drivers Manager" in ubuntu 9.04?
[00:49] <cabrey> erUSUL, i think the odd behavior actually may have to do with compiz
[00:49] <jtaji> TroN-0074: Hardware Drivers
[00:49] <norbi> and with linux boot cd this cannot be repaired?
[00:49] <TroN-0074> thanks
[00:49] <biggerfisch> TroN-0074: System -> Hardware Drivers
[00:50] <eric_3> hey guys i was wondering how to access a WLAN on Xubuntu w/ no tool bars. Can you help me?
[00:50] <erUSUL> norbi: no; if you removed linux from the harddisk  and plan to use only windows
[00:50] <chris_> hello fellow ubuntu users
[00:50] <biggerfisch>  TroN-0074: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers sorry
[00:50] <ZipTye> Hello everyone
[00:50] <baz_> eric_3:depends on your wireless card...
[00:50] <spacebison> TroN-0074: what sort of effects are you trying to run? that card may not be powerful enough to handle them well.
[00:50] <eric_3> k how does it depend
[00:51] <baz_> eric_3:i have a broadcom 4306 that for some odd reason, iwconfig doesnt like it
[00:51] <norbi> erUSUL: ok, i understand, he wondered why i like linux, and he tried it, but very fast he needs windows back :))

[00:51] <TroN-0074> I have seem another PC running with a better speed
[00:51] <njsharkracer> has anyone tried the 185 or 190 nvidia restricted drivers yet on karmic?  it never installs fully for me in hardware drivers and i just end up going back to 185 drivers.
[00:51] <njsharkracer> oops i meant 190 or 195 drivers
[00:52] <LuisGMarine> njsharkracer, no but it did crash my computer back home
[00:52] <TroN-0074> I own a thinkpad T41 and I have seem a T30 doing lot better
[00:52] <Quan-Time> njsharkracer: not tried em.. BUT why install new ones if the old ones didnt break ? i still get great FPS in tf2 / steam games..
[00:52] <eric_3> how can i switch wlan's
[00:52] <canthus13> baz_: Eh? my 4306 is a bit slow, but it works great.
[00:52] <eric_3> ?
[00:53] <njsharkracer> Quan-Time: what game is tf2?  and when play even simple games such as tuxracer taxes the video card like crazy, and it's not that old of a laptop video card.  geforce 7150
[00:54] <eric_3>  hey guys i was wondering how to access a WLAN on Xubuntu w/ no tool bars. Can you help me?
[00:54] <baz_> eric_3: well, i have a broadcom 4306, when i try and use it via the command line for some reason, after my card has associated with the wireless access point, it disassociates, yet with network manager (which sits on a toolbar), i have no problems
[00:54] <eric_3> i am currently connected to a WLAN but i want to switch to another WLAN
[00:55] <fractalis_> eric_3: iwconfig I believe addresses your problem, though I don't know the arguments off hand.
[00:55] <baz_> eric_3:first wireless card i have seen to do this, however i have seen the same error in other posts on the net, all unanswered (some crap about reason code=3)
[00:55] <eric_3> see i want to know how to do it from command line
[00:55] <marens> eric_3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicd_%28Linux_Network_Manager%29
[00:55] <RedLance> What I want to do, is give telnet like access to an old BBS door game that runs under dos.  Any ideas?
[00:55] <eric_3> i tried iwconfig
[00:55] <spacebison> njsharkracer: That's a pretty low end card though, I have it and it's a bit slow on some compiz effects
[00:55] <eric_3> it just lists
[00:55] <baz_> eric_3: open a shell and do "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan"
[00:56] <baz_> eric_3: providing your wireless card is on wlan0, you will get a list of access points
[00:56] <eric_3> i am not admin
[00:56] <njsharkracer> spacebison: which laptop do you have with the same video card as me?
[00:56] <baz_> eric_3:hence, why you need sudo
[00:57] <eric_3> i am on a link previously listed please do not post to me
[00:57] <fractalis_> Does anyone know the short-cuts to switch desktops in KDE?
[00:57] <baz_> eric_3: you can't change access points without being able to run sudo or as root.
[00:57] <LuisGMarine> eric_3, what exactly is yoru problem?
[00:57] <ardchoille> fractalis: you need to ask in #kubuntu
[00:57] <spacebison> njsharkracer: it's in a cheap HP pavillion I bought almost two years ago.
[00:58] <fractalis_> ardchoille: Better yet, I searched Google like I should have done in the first place. Sorry to bother you.
[00:58] <minimec> fractalis_: isn't  it <ctrl><alt>arrow left/right with all the desktops?
[00:58] <fractalis_> minimec: <Ctrl>-F{#} accomplishes what I was looking for. Thanks though.
[00:58] <canthus13> minimec: That's compiz.
[00:58] <eric_3> i am trying to switch ti another WLAN but i do not have a toolbar so i don't have the network applet
[00:59] <minimec> fractalis_: You switch desktops with gnome, xfce, kde, e17 like that ...
[00:59] <ardchoille> fractalis: It was no bother, I wanted you to get the best answer :)
[00:59] <njsharkracer> spacebison: mine is a dv2615nr, if you have the same laptop as me got any ubuntu pointers for it?  I've only been messing with linux for a month now, and I also bought this laptop about 2 years ago.
[01:00] <canthus13> njsharkracer: The motherboard is flaky.
[01:00] <Quan-Time_> njsharkracer: tf2 = team fortress 2 (half life 2 game on steam)
[01:00] <eric_3> i have been able to switch access points in the past because i have the right givin to me by admin
[01:01] <eric_3> maybe you guys could just help me get my toolbars back.
[01:01] <canthus13> eric_3: YOu deleted BOTH your panels?
[01:01] <bastid_raZor> eric_3: xfce4-panel  in a terminal. that should start them
[01:02] <eric_3> no i logged on and now they are gone
[01:02] <canthus13> eric_3: Hmm.
[01:02] <eric_3> I will try command
[01:02] <njsharkracer> canthus13: i have never had a problem with the motherboard on my laptop.  only problem i had with it in 2 years is upgrading the wireless card from a broadcom to atheros chipset but was fixed with a bios upgrade.
[01:02] <nmartin> Hey.. can anyone help me with an Eclipse PDT issue?
[01:02] <jolaren> ;/
[01:02] <Doonz> hey guys, does anyone have a guide to write a init script. Im trying to have it open irssi, deluged in a screen session under one user. as well as another script to start up deluge in screen under a different user
[01:03] <spacebison> njsharkracer: I think mines a dv6700, I'm not sure though. I've run ubuntu 8.04, 9.04 and 9.10 is on it now. It's kind of a toss up between 9.04 and 9.10 as to which ran the best. But I haven't really done much outside of the basic install and that's always worked fine for me.
[01:03] <ipatrol> How can I get that graphical sudo window to come up?
[01:03] <jellow> ipatrol: gksudo
[01:03] <eric_3> the command works thankyou! bastid razor
[01:03] <nmartin> Does anyone know where to find this: "org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.feature.feature.group"
[01:03] <jellow> ipatrol: opps gksu
[01:03] <protojay> hey, do i need any specail programs to unpack multi-part rar files?
[01:03] <eric_3> good bye and thankyou!
[01:04] <njsharkracer> spacebison: ah okay, i have a knack for fiddling with stuff and trying to improve it or use the latest stuff, hence wanting to try the 190 or 195 nvidia drivers to see any improvement.
[01:04] <ipatrol> jellow: gksudo works, thx
[01:04] <canthus13> njsharkracer: I didn't for a couple of years.. Then it started shutting down randomly, the wireless completely disappeared, and now it's at the point that it won't power up.  Apparently, most of the pavillions made in the last 3 years are suceptible to this. SOmething to do with poorly soldered chipsets. also causes overheating.
[01:05] <ipatrol> where does su != sudo ?
[01:05] <njsharkracer> protojay: you shouldn't, i haven't messed with multipart rars in linux yet, but in windows you just open the first rar, extract the files and the archive manager should just pull the rest of the data from other other parts automatically.
[01:05] <bastid_raZor> njsharkracer: the same goes for Ubuntu
[01:06] <njsharkracer> canthus13: thanks for the heads up.  luckily i haven't had a problem yet considering that when I was running winblows on this laptop i was always overclocking the video chipset on here.
[01:07] <protojay> njsharkracer, i see

[01:08] <baz_> anyone here have experience with chrt aborting commands?
[01:09] <baz_> trying to give audcious the cpu time it needs to not stutter or dropout!

[01:11] <progre55> hi people! I want to set a password on boot, but while starting up, it shows two keys only, F9 - Boot based setup (or startup) and F10 ROM based setup (or startup, dont remember). Any other keys dont work (Del, F2). Any suggestions, please?
[01:11] <progre55> btw, HP Compaq 7300
[01:12] <jellow> ipatrol: Its an "extra" layer of sercurity , by setting a time limit ( mins ) also it does not mess up file permissions look at man su and man sudo for more info
[01:12] <shyam_k> nebody understanding korean language here?
[01:12] <Pelo> what file do I look for to share a folder on a CLI system ?

[01:13] <shyam_k> Pelo: i found a korean string in one program i am working on and google translate is not good enough;-)
[01:13] <spacebison> protojay: I extracted multi part rars in ubuntu just fine with out install anything else
[01:13] <Pelo> shyam_k, the Korean channel is the bst I can do
[01:14] <progre55> minimec, those I tried, but no use..
[01:14] <shyam_k> Pelo: yeah asking there.. thanks for the link:)

[01:14] <fongoul> I would like some help with mysql on ubuntu server 9.04
[01:15] <vduck> erUSUL
[01:15] <vduck> back again
[01:15] <vduck> I can't find a mode that works
[01:15] <Pelo> shyam_k, an other possibility would be to google for a facutly of korean studies at some univ. and see if they have a mailing list or an irc channel
[01:15] <vduck> and I've been trying quite a few
[01:15] <toenailTL> got a question about xp and ubuntu 9.04 sharing files. Installed samba and it see's the windows network (LAN) and everything is configured on the windows end but when clicking on Lan via Ubuntu it says unable to mount location
[01:15] <vduck> from the "safe video" (on f4
[01:15] <vduck> to vga= umm.. 771, 791
[01:15] <vduck> 772
[01:16] <vduck> I'm wondering if I'm setting the option in the wrong way?
[01:16] <vduck> or if there's a magic number I need to guess
[01:17] <minimec> progre55: It's F10 on old HP/Compcacs 'ROM' based setup
[01:17] <fongoul> I have a mysql install that doesn't start at boot, but runs fine when manually started, any ideas?
[01:17] <vduck> I booted into knoppix and ran hwinfo
[01:17] <vduck> it gave some strange results
[01:17] <mahngiel> progre55: still trying to figure out how to get to the bios menu?
[01:17] <Pelo> vduck, I've only seen the last few lines, but are you trying to change the console resolution ? freom grub ? it's not the same way it was in grub1, now we are using grub 2 , quite different
[01:17] <ipatrol> Why can I use sudo but su raises an authentication error?
[01:17] <toenailTL> ive used ubuntu a while back but getting back into it so kinda forgot stuff
[01:17] <vduck> --framebuffer produced a flurry of text but no results
[01:18] <Hillshum> ipatrol: su wants the root password, which is not set
[01:18] <vduck> I'm trying to install 9.10 on a thinkpad (SL510)
[01:18] <vduck> and it's not likeing the graphics
[01:18] <mahngiel>       Hillshum: you HAVE to set some password for root
[01:18] <ipatrol> Hillshum: How do I set it?
[01:18] <fongoul> ipatrol, try sudo su it works for me
[01:18] <ipatrol> It works
[01:18] <vduck> I'm trying to set in with the live cd, so I guess not grub.I don't know how the cd works
[01:19] <ipatrol> But how could I set the root password?
[01:19] <Hillshum> mahngiel: huh? I don't have a root password set
[01:19] <bastid_raZor> !root | ipatrol
[01:19] <Hillshum> ipatrol: use the passwd command
[01:19] <toenailTL> got a question about xp and ubuntu 9.04 sharing files. Installed samba and it see's the windows network (LAN) and everything is configured on the windows end but when clicking on Lan via Ubuntu it says unable to mount location any ideas
[01:19] <vduck> that's not bad
[01:19] <booksbuggy> can someone tell me waht do i do if i want to completely reinstall alsa?
[01:19] <vduck> the "there is no root" that's pretty clever
[01:20] <mahngiel>   Hillshum: how did you get around not having a root pw?
[01:20] <edbian> Where is the best and smartest place to buy a domain name?
[01:20] <helpanoob> domainmonster
[01:20] <mahngiel> !best | edbian
[01:20] <jellow> ipatrol: its sudo -i to enable root , but its not recommened
[01:20] <Hillshum> mahngiel: I've just used sudo like most all Ubuntu users
[01:20] <fongoul> booksbugy:try sudo apt-get install alsa
[01:20] <njsharkracer> edbian: godaddy.com
[01:21] <vduck> ubuntu handles root a little strange
[01:21] <mahngiel> Hillshum: and have never been prompted for a pw?
[01:21] <vduck> the first account you set up, use that password to enable sudo
[01:21] <helpanoob> edbian: http://www.domainmonster.com/
[01:21] <Hillshum> mahngiel: sudo uses your user password
[01:21] <vduck> sudo <command>
[01:21] <bastid_raZor> !sudo
[01:21] <baz_> google is not your friend with chrt
[01:21] <vduck> it will ask for the password
[01:21] <baz_> !chrt
[01:21] <mahngiel>   Hillshum: of course. perhaps i joined this convo a bit late...
[01:21] <Hillshum> vduck: Your user password, not root
[01:21] <vduck> use the one from the account you set up at install
[01:22] <fongoul> edebian: free dns at dyndns.com
[01:22] <Hillshum> vduck: Right, but that isn't root
[01:22] <vduck> yeah
[01:22] <vduck> I kow
[01:22] <vduck> and term3 = term5
[01:22] <yokobr> hey guys, i've unninstalled pulseaudio, and restarted alsa. Now i've lost my Volume icon =(
[01:22] <mahngiel> let's not get stuck in semantics, people, let's just get to the point, really
[01:23] <booksbuggy> well since my computer is having some weird No Sound problem
[01:23] <vduck> I'm just trying to relate what to do .... the semantics will be left for those who understand what they are talking about
[01:23] <vduck> (which isn't me)
[01:23] <vduck> so, yeah
[01:24] <Hillshum> The point was that su and sudo ask for two different passwords
[01:24] <vduck> must have missed the first part
[01:24] <vduck> is .. is this, like a home install?
[01:24] <vduck> desktop, laptop, whatever
[01:25] <vduck> only one (maybe two users)?
[01:25] <booksbuggy> well ALSA won't even detect my audio card XCD
[01:25] <fongoul> any one have a guess why my mysql install quit starting on boot?
[01:25] <vduck> oh, duh, sorry
[01:25] <vduck> he wants to get them to respond to the same password
[01:26] <vduck> ? never mind. You guys have it well in hand
[01:26] <vduck> my thing is with getting the graphics to work with the installer
[01:26] <tking> Is it possible to sync m4v video podcasts to an ipod nano using some software, what software would that be?
[01:26] <vduck> I'm wondering if there's anything odd about the thinkpad hardware

[01:27] <vduck> does that sound wierd?
[01:27] <toenailTL> got a question about xp and ubuntu 9.04 sharing files. Installed samba and it see's the windows network (LAN) and everything is configured on the windows end but when clicking on Lan via Ubuntu it says unable to mount location any ideas
[01:27] <thingy> vduck: why dont you use a framebuffer console instead of the svga one?
[01:27] <mahngiel> any capable hackers here??
[01:28] <mahngiel> anybody know anything about .menus?
[01:28] <gsr_> I used gparted to create a 1 gig partition to an external USB Drive (new partition was sdb1).  I then opened System->admin->USB STartup key, selected the new partition sdb1, and pressed format.  It formatted by entire drive, sdb0 and sdb1.  Does anyone know of any software to reverse a format?   it lasted about 3 seconds, so I have to believe it was a quick format
[01:29] <vduck> uh... knoppix works, so let me try it
[01:29] <vduck> Off to research
[01:31] <ipatrol> My windows aren't showing up on the bottom menu
[01:32] <bastid_raZor> ipatrol: window list, i think is the applet you need to add to that panel
[01:32] <ipatrol> tried that, still no windows
[01:32] <thingy> gsr_: look at gpart to see if it can guess your partitions again...http://linux.die.net/man/8/gpart what filessytems did you have on the disk?
[01:33] <toenailTL> after installing samba do i have to configure it so that my xp pc can be mounted
[01:33] <gsr_> thingy: i think it was ntfs
[01:33] <bastid_raZor> ipatrol: that is the correct applet.
[01:33] <thingy> gsr_: ok in which case..you need to look at using windows tools to sort this out
[01:34] <ipatrol> but my windows are still not showing up

[01:47] <nightfrog> gnome doesnt have kde apps. uninstall the kde app and see if that helps
[01:47] <nightfrog> the kde and gnome sound apps might be conflicting

Win 7 sees the raid 10 system just fine as a 1.5 tb disk, but Ubuntu 9.10 is showing two 750gb disks (looks like it sees two raid 1 disks).  Any suggestions on how I get it to see one 1.5 tb disk?
[01:59] <Sqeatz> I can't seem to get my tor to work correctly. Tips?
[01:59] <Mene-Mene> Is that like a permaban on first offense?
[01:59] <woodyjlw> I broke wicd after installing a poker game from add remove in my ubuntu and had to go back to network manager and every time I try to reinstall wicd it wont log into wireless networks. do I need to reset something first?
[01:59] <Guest94494> jhouse_ is it a propery hardware raid or is it a software raid ?
[01:59] <apn> Mene-Mene: is fashist world of today. just to prevent terrorism.
[01:59] <Guest94494> facist, not fashist
[02:00] <jhouse_> Guest94494 : it's in the intel p55 chipset (on the board)
[02:00] <apn> Guest94494, my apologies.
[02:00] <Guest94494> Did you setup the raid in bios or anything ?
[02:01] <Sqeatz> Can anybody help me with my tor?
[02:01] <mahngiel> your "tor"?/
[02:01] <Sqeatz> It just stopped working randomly
[02:02] <jhouse_> Guest94494: yes.  during bootup I define a raid 10 system, select the 4 disks, and it says it's all set.  windows 7 does see it as one large raid 10 system.  if I then reboot with the ubuntu 9.1 install cd in, when I get to the part about selecting the install disk, it shows 2 disks instead of one
[02:02] <mofa> does anyone know how to get the sleep button on my keyboard actually make the computer go to sleep?
[02:02] <Guest94494> jhouse_ I am not familiar with your raid array, but I know that sometimes companies sell "hardware raid" and the drivers are actually a software raid. So I would start by insuring that it is really a hardware raid
[02:02] <Guest94494> after that I dunno, sorry :(
[02:02] <mahngiel> mofa: i wouldn't recommend it. 9.10's sleep/hibernate is fcked
[02:02] <apn> mofa: open your keyboard shortcuts preferences and it will be there.
[02:02] <woodyjlw> when I reinstall wicd it remembers all old settings. how do I reset all settings to default so wicd dose not screw up again ?
[02:02] <Guest94494> mofa => try using power management in system => preferences => power management
[02:03] <vduck> I think you mean fscked
[02:03] <apn> fscked would be fixed. maybe pre-fscked.
[02:03] <vduck> or it's all fscked up?
[02:04] <vduck> jk
[02:04] <mofa> it goes to sleep just fine. i just want the keyboard button to work.
[02:04] <vduck> last shot - can't get video working
[02:04] <vduck> monitor shuts down
[02:04] <Guest94494> mahngiel : I only use LTS, they work so much better, I test the release about once a month during the cycle and open lots of tickets. That way it works well for me :d
[02:04] <vduck> tried shutting of framebuffer, tried setting it to low resolutions
[02:05] <Guest94494> mofa => try using power management in system => preferences => power management
[02:05] <vduck> don't work
[02:05] <Guest94494> vduck, what video card you have ?
[02:05] <haken> i have installed 9.10 and no sound any one help me ?
[02:05] <mahngiel> Guest94494: fair enough.
[02:05] <mahngiel> !alsa | haken
[02:05] <vduck> it's a laptop, so it's internal.. hang on
[02:05] <Guest94494> vduck => sudo lspci
[02:05] <vduck> Intel GMA x 4500 Dynamic?
[02:06] <vduck> yeah, I can.. give me asecond to reboot
[02:07] <mahngiel> g'damn it. i'm getting frustrated....
[02:07] <Guest94494> vduck, paste your lspci -n here, does it say your video card works ?  : http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/
[02:08] <Guest94494> mahngiel, what is causing you frustration ?
[02:09] <mahngiel> Guest94494: can't find the source of the parent for the gnome menu bar
[02:09] <vduck> intel moblie 4 chipset - rev7
[02:09] <mahngiel> i'm trying now to find gnome-panel's source so i can sift through that
[02:09] <Guest94494> still trying to get the bar modified ?
[02:09] <vduck> I'm working on two laptops - copy and paste will be tricky, to say the least
[02:09] <Gnurdux> so my sister is having a serious problem: when gnome is running, programs like amarok can't talk to her digital audio player (it's an MTP-based device, a Creative Zen X-fi)
[02:09] <mahngiel> Guest94494: don't you think that'd be awesome?
[02:10] <Guest94494> Nope :P
[02:10] <vduck> The other laptop now has knoppix on it - the video card chokes on ubuntu
[02:10] <mahngiel> Guest94494: well, i would enjoy it. call me an "over-tinkerer' if you will. i just got done chatting with some lucid dev's. gnome ain't even in the picture
[02:10] <Guest94494> 5 years ago I would have said yes, but I like it to be easy to use
[02:10] <Guest94494> really ?
[02:11] <coz_> vduck,  which video card is it ???   lspci | grep -i vga
[02:11] <mahngiel> indeed. his words were "it's a dead project"
[02:11] <Guest94494> coz_ Intel GMA x 4500 Dynamic?
[02:11] <coz_> Guest94494,  oh ok
[02:12] <cab938_lappy> where can I put a script so it will run with root permissions onboot?
[02:12] <wolter> is there an application that will copy my files to windows and rename special characters if necessary?
[02:12] <mahngiel> i could get along just fine using just the little menu button ( like the start menu) but, hell, if it exists, it ought to be customized
[02:12] <wolter> windows ntfs sorry
[02:12] <cab938_lappy> I'm trying to make a vm that installs all of its pkgs automatically
[02:12] <vduck> like I said, it spit out "intel moblie 4 chipset - rev7
[02:12] <mahngiel> and instead of adding drawers to the panel, why not add a menu to the menu bar?? why should i only have 3 constantly named "apps, places, and system" 'tis the mind of a *nix convert
[02:12] <Guest94494> cab938_lappy, what you running your VM on? Amazon ? VMWare ?

[02:13] <Karottenkostuem> hi

[02:15] <MidoCrash1> if i text "compiz" in terminal whats will be happen ?
[02:15] <mahngiel> Karottenkostuem: like what do you mean? type it in instead of click the folders?
[02:15] <Guest94494> I think I am going to quit chat, it's hard to follow any discussion. I am going to read forum posts instead...
[02:15] <michaelhammond> how do I get VPN to work in Ubuntu?
[02:16] <woodyjlw> vduck,  well it was working until I installed poker game and it messed up network settings so I removed and reinstalled wicd and still broke so it is some how remembering settings
[02:16] <mahngiel> MidoCrash1: why don't you try it and tell us?
[02:16] <MidoCrash1> i try it
[02:16] <mahngiel> k
[02:16] <Tiders> Is there any way to convert a folder of files to an ISO?
[02:16] <MidoCrash1> and i don't know whats happen
[02:16] <mahngiel> Tiders: yes, you can burn it as an image
[02:16] <mahngiel> Tiders: are you trying to create a liveCD?
[02:16] <MidoCrash1> i want to know if this order will make video card better
[02:16] <michaelhammond> I have tried and followed all the instructions but nothing works
[02:16] <Tiders> mahngiel, Well err I cant really say what Im doing in this channel
[02:16] <dnivra> maichaelhammond you need to install openVPN. check their site more details.
[02:17] <michaelhammond> I have done so
[02:17] <michaelhammond> I am connecting to my network at work windows system
[02:17] <vduck> I installed it a week or so ago
[02:17] <Karottenkostuem> in windows i had an adressbar in the taskbar to write urls directly without click on any firefoxbuttons first
[02:17] <mahngiel> Tiders: that's fair enough. but i mean, if you're tyring to create an iso, you can do that just by burning as an image. if you're trying to create a livecd, there's a bit more to it
[02:17] <dnivra> michaelhammond: any queries on openVPN head to ##openvpn. this is ubuntu support channel.
[02:18] <zackattack> Anyone? Help? How can I enable root login over sftp?
[02:18] <mahngiel> Karottenkostuem: to the left of the 'buttons' designating the folder hierarchy you've reached is a little pen and paper, click that and you get a field you can type to your hearts conent
[02:18] <michaelhammond> well then how do u make vpn work in Ubuntu?
[02:19] <dnivra> michaelhammond: what do you mean "how do make vpn work in Ubuntu"? you need to install openVPN and configure it. it's explained well in openVPN's website. any more queries on this please head to ##openvpn and post them.
[02:20] <vduck> coz_ , you got anything I can try?
[02:20] <Karottenkostuem> mahngiel: i try to put this adressbar to the panel
[02:20] <Karottenkostuem> but i think its impossible :(
[02:20] <Plant> michaelhammond, there are different kinds of VPNs. some use IPsec, others SSL and some SSH. VPNs at both ends need to match.
[02:20] <paissad-hp> which service must i restart after modify /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} ?

[02:34] <arghh2d2> protojay: try it without -t (andthiscrap)   it may work
[02:34] <alokito> vduck, you need alternate cd for CLI based installation
[02:34] <arghh2d2> Can somebody recomend a way to convert .avi files to a standard dvd player format?
[02:34] <vduck> I might be able to debug the video better with an working install

[02:40] <alberto> Hello
[02:40] <alberto> Can anybody help me?
[02:40] <lstarnes> osmosis: or something else like clang/llvm, tcc, pcc, or the intel c compiler
[02:40] <lstarnes> osmosis: or you can get binaries of gcc for building gcc
[02:40] <AIIID> digitalaxis: sure just mount it
[02:40] <apn> digitalaxis: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso /mnt            now it should be in /mnt
[02:40] <lstarnes> osmosis: it's a classic chicken-and-egg problem
[02:40] <osmosis> lstarnes, so gcc is written in c. it just evolved over time,and it depends on itself?  ok.
[02:41] <osmosis> lstarnes, yah...except someone DID make the first version of GCC. I just wonder how.
[02:41] <alberto> I've recently downgraded to Jaunty from Karmic, because I had too many problems with that version. The thing is, whenever I restart my computer, the screen resolution automatically sets to 800x600, when my NVIDIA GeForce 7050 can do 1440x900

[02:43] <alberto> alokito Yes.
[02:43] <alokito> alberto, where did you install the driver from, ubuntu repo?

[02:45] <arghh2d2> Can somebody recomend a way to convert .avi files to a standard dvd player format? DeVeDe sucks
[02:45] <alberto> alokito Do you think that has something to see?
[02:45] <alokito> alberto, hmm maybe jaunty is using some config file from your home dir?
[02:46] <rab1d> can anyone helping me with init looking for rootfs, i have a squashfs on my thumbdrive i'd like to specify
[02:46] <rab1d> livecd type stuff
[02:46] <alberto> alokito Undoubtely.
[02:46] <alokito> alberto, karmic config files aren't likely to work in jaunty
[02:46] <Optimus55> hey palimpsest found bad sectors on my hdd. Is there a tool to fix them in ubuntu?
[02:46] <alokito> alberto, work perfectly*, I mean
[02:46] <AIIID> Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1)     what to do?
[02:46] <adante> hi guys, how do i remove a service from startup? i tried rc-update.d dhcpd3-server remove, but i stil lhave a symlink to this service in /etc/rc2.d -- is this normal?
[02:47] <alberto> alokito I mean, I use to have Jaunty before I made the biggest mistake...Updating to Karmic.
[02:47] <alberto> alokito Which I regret of.
[02:47] <alokito> alberto, ya but now in your jaunty you are using the same home dir that you used in karmic, aren't you?
[02:47] <alberto> alokito Yes, that's right
[02:48] <Optimus55> hey is there a tool to fix bad sectors in ubuntu?
[02:48] <digitalaxis> Ok i have an iso mounted to my desktop, how do i install it though
[02:48] <arghh2d2>  alokito: alberto, karmic config files aren't likely to work in jaunty  <--which is why ubuntu is inferior to a rolling release model
[02:48] <alokito> alberto, so the karmic config files remaining, that might be the cause
[02:48] <SickAnimations> arghh2d2: FFMPEG? HandBrake? What's wrong with DeVeDe?
[02:48] <arghh2d2> SickAnimations: doesnt work
[02:49] <alberto> alokito Is there any way to solve that problem?
[02:49] <arghh2d2> i would love devede if it gave me what i want
[02:49] <alokito> arghh2d2, alberto I'm using karmic right now and I have no trouble with it at all!
[02:49] <froglet> I installed Jaunty and then openSUSE but the latter messed up GRUB, apparently, and two GRUBS come up, one after the other.  Is there a way to fix this so I can boot either OS?
[02:49] <digitalaxis> Can someone help me install something? I have the .iso mounted, just need to know how to run the iso like if it were on a cd
[02:49] <jangaj> adante-> perhaps it is update-rc.d ?
[02:49] <alokito> alberto, yup, delete the config files from your home dir and make a fresh start :)
[02:49] <heihaier> How to rebuild ffmpeg and enabled mpeg4 encoder?
[02:49] <arghh2d2> SickAnimations: devede gives me isos that i burn to to a dvd and then dont work in the dvd player
[02:49] <adante> jangaj: oh yeah thats what i meant i ran, sorry
[02:49] <e-i-k-e> lstarnes: it works perfectly with BIT. thanks again
[02:50] <alberto> alokito Where are they?
[02:50] <alokito> alberto, backup what you need before deleting, like firefox and all
[02:50] <e-i-k-e> lstarnes: back to root permission: is their a way to mount / umount a specific device without root permissions
[02:50] <alokito> alberto, Enable showing of hidden files in your file manager, you will find them
[02:50] <alberto> alokito You mean, I should make another install?
[02:50] <SickAnimations> arghh2d2: Damn, do they work on a PC?
[02:50] <teage> I had that problem with a DVD player, but it just one and its my sony.
[02:50] <e-i-k-e> lstarnes: and of cause i would need to open a specific device with cryptsetup
[02:51] <alokito> alberto, nope, just delete config files
[02:51] <teage> works on all my other dvd players though
[02:51] <alberto> alokito How do I enable them?
[02:51] <arghh2d2> alokito: consider yourself lucky...karmic sucks...they threw a bunch of experimental crap in it to see what sticks and what doesnt so they can get ready for the next LTS
[02:51] <teage> something about codecs
[02:51] <AIIID> digitalaxis: go to my computer  rightclick autoplay
[02:51] <teage> try a different dvd player
[02:51] <froglet> I was able to install two versions of Ubuntu side by side but not Ubuntu and openSUSE
[02:51] <arghh2d2> I'll try another dvd player
[02:51] <AIIID> digitalaxis: or explore drive and double click executable
[02:52] <alokito> arghh2d2, well it doesn't suck for me, and I can workaround all problems easily
[02:52] <froglet> I think I will have to dump the openSUSE part, does anyone know if I can use the rescue feature of the install CD to fix this?
[02:52] <SickAnimations> arghh2d2: What files end up on the compilation?
[02:52] <teage> dont suck for me either
[02:52] <alberto> Karmic threw me problems with DVD writer, PulseAudio, TV Tuner card, Flash player...etc.
[02:52] <suhV> what the hell?
[02:52] <suhV> http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x21o0w_q-lazzarus-goodbye-horses_music
[02:52] <suhV> lol
[02:52] <arghh2d2> alokito: like i said, consider yourself lucky...ubuntu thrives on user frustration
[02:52] <FloodBot4> suhV: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:52] <jangaj> adante-> did you man update-rc.d ?  the explanation seems to indicate it only removes the links and not the script itself
[02:53] <SickAnimations> I'm still on Jaunty NBR *phewl*
[02:53] <arghh2d2> SickAnimations: in the iso?
[02:53] <alberto> alokito How can I show hidden files?
[02:53] <teage> view
[02:53] <teage> check hidden
[02:53] <SickAnimations> arghh2d2: Yeah, does the file structure look OK? Does a computer recognise it as a DVD and play it?
[02:53] <teage> and wholla
[02:53] <arghh2d2> alokito: ls -a
[02:54] <AIIID> anyone have a solution what ot do when there is Kernel panic?
[02:54] <alokito> lol arghh2d2 ... its not ubuntu to blame, its the users. They should study more about linux itself before using any distro as their main OS
[02:54] <arghh2d2> SickAnimations: hang on, i'll see
[02:54] <alokito> arghh2d2, anyway this channel is only for technical support, the topic is more suitable in #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:55] <alberto> alokito Ok, nothing about nvidia at /home folder
[02:55] <mazda01> hdd is dieing and I want to just use a 16gb flash drive from vertbatim as my new hdd. will this be possible as long as my bios will boot the sub flash drive?
[02:55] <mazda01> sub=usb
[02:55] <alokito> alberto, it might be some Xserver configuration file, I'm not sure which one
[02:55] <teage> I wonder if there is a way to install BackTrack programs in Ubuntu?
[02:55] <teage> like
[02:55] <teage> all BackTrack
[02:56] <alokito> alberto, xorg.conf maybe?
[02:56] <alberto> alokito Oh, wait! There's one called .nvidia-settings-rc
[02:56] <arghh2d2> alokito: stop being such a do-gooder putz
[02:56] <blakkheim> teage: they aren't "backtrack programs"
[02:56] <teage> well what are they then?
[02:56] <teage> there on the distro
[02:56] <arghh2d2> SickAnimations: yes gnome-mplayer recognizes it
[02:56] <blakkheim> teage: just regular linux applications
[02:56] <teage> huh
[02:56] <mazda01> ne1 run their ubuntu install from a flash drive all the time?
[02:56] <alokito> arghh2d2, whats that? something annoying like troll or flamer? :o
[02:56] <teage> so then
[02:57] <teage> it is possible
[02:57] <teage> sweet
[02:57] <suhV> teage
[02:57] <teage> i mean
[02:57] <SickAnimations> arghh2d2: Has the DVD player your testing with played burned DVDa b
[02:57] <suhV> spank to it:
[02:57] <suhV> http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x21o0w_q-lazzarus-goodbye-horses_music
[02:57] <teage> there are some
[02:57] <FloodBot4> suhV: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:57] <alberto> I'm going to try rebooting, since I've already deleted that file.
[02:57] <SickAnimations> DVDs before*
[02:57] <teage> that i have noticed
[02:57] <arghh2d2> SickAnimations: yeah
[02:57] <teage> yes suhV
[02:58] <SickAnimations> arghh2d2: Damn, well you might have to fiddle with the config or try different software :(
[02:59] <poseidon> One of the keys on my laptop keyboard is off.  How do I map it to the correct char that is supposed to be displayed when the key is pressed
[02:59] <Maletor> hey - VLC is skipping when I try to watch planet earth 1080p...
[02:59] <SickAnimations> arghh2d2: Good luck, it ain't easy :/

[03:01] <AIIID> anyone have a solution what to do when there is Kernel panic?
[03:01] <y2kcorvette> is the next lts going to be 10.04 or 10.10?
[03:01] <ipatrol> The clock stopped
[03:01] <morphias> y2kcorvette, 10.04
[03:01] <y2kcorvette> thanks
[03:01] <ipatrol> How do you change the time?
[03:01] <morphias> AIIID, hold the powerbutton down and reset your computer.
[03:02] <alokito> alberto, then you should can either sacrifice all configuration files, or ask in ubuntu forum for help
[03:02] <alokito> :|
[03:02] <Maletor> hey - VLC is skipping when I try to watch planet earth 1080p... adjust cache doesn't work
[03:02] <aletheia8556> i need help fixing my maximum screen resolution on xubuntu 9.10
[03:02] <alokito> then you can*, not should can
[03:02] <blakkheim> Maletor: what cpu do you have
[03:02] <AIIID> morphias: kernel panic is on startup cannot boot
[03:02] <Alan502> My dvd didn't mount automatically :S which /dev/ should i mount to access it?
[03:02] <morphias> AIIID, can you boot into your Recovery kernel?
[03:03] <AIIID> not in corrupted one
[03:03] <alberto> alokito The Nvidia control panel has a button which reads "Save to X configuration file", but whenever I push it, it shows a message box that says "Unable to write to /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[03:03] <AIIID> morphias: not in corrupted one 16-generic
[03:03] <alokito> alberto, type Alt+F2>> gksudo nvidia-settings and hit enter
[03:04] <aletheia8556> can anyone help a non technical ubuntu user with screen resolution
[03:04] <alberto> alokito Done.
[03:04] <alokito> alberto, ok try that now :)
[03:04] <zcat[1]> Woohoo.. got given several 'dictaphone' mic's today (fancy mic/speaker with trackball and buttons) -- mic/speaker is plain phono connectors and turns out it's a fairly standard serial mouse
[03:04] <morphias> aletheia8556, SYSTEM -> PREFERENCES -> DISPLAY.  should detect your displays and you can set resolution there
[03:04] <zcat[1]> so all working already
[03:05] <Alan502> Which command can be used to display my dvdrom devices?
[03:05] <Alan502> ???
[03:05] <alokito> !ask aletheia8556
[03:05] <suhV> goodbye horses..............................................im flying over you................good bye horses........................im flying over youu....good bye horses............... im flying over you....good bye horses...........im flying flying flying over youoooooo............ooooooooohooooooooooo
[03:05] <alberto> alokito super user! How didn't I realise about that?
[03:05] <alokito> !ask | aletheia8556
[03:05] <alberto> alokito Thank you very much!
[03:05] <blakkheim> !ot | suhV
[03:06] <alokito> alberto, theres nothing superuser stuff in it, I'm just an "experienced home user"
[03:06] <ipatrol> My time is correct, but the clock app stopped working
[03:06] <piero> I'm connected to my computador by ssh. How can I start a program on my current X session? (I want to startx a program in an existing session of gnome desktop from my remote ssh access)
[03:06] <ipatrol> Why is everything about gnome screwed up today?
[03:06] <alokito> alberto, I have zero programming knowledge
[03:06] <alberto> alokito Where are you from? (If you don't mind I ask you=
[03:06] <blakkheim> piero: ssh -X user@server applicationname
[03:06] <alokito> alberto, you should ask that in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:07] <Alan502> would someone help me please?
[03:07] <piero> blakkheim, the program I want to start will be show in the remote computer?
[03:07] <Guest60902> Hi room
[03:07] <mahngiel> i hate gnome
[03:07] <Alan502> it cannot be that difficult ¬_¬
[03:07] <Guest60902> Is it safe to install the Dos Box emulator
[03:07] <blakkheim> piero: it will run on the remote computer and appear on your screen
[03:07] <Guest60902> or can it invite viruses
[03:07] <alokito> !ask | Alan502
[03:07] <Maletor> blakkheim: amd 64 945 3.0ghz
[03:08] <blakkheim> Maletor: try a different video player
[03:08] <Alan502> alokito, i already asked, i'm trying to mount my dvd rom because it did not mount automatically
[03:08] <piero> blakkheim, no.. it's just in my computador. The remote server does not display the program...
[03:08] <Maletor> k
[03:08] <Alan502> and i don't know in which /dev/ my dvd rom is
[03:08] <ipatrol> That was freaky, my gnome-panel stopped working
[03:08] <Maletor> blakkheim, and if that doesn't work?
[03:08] <mahngiel> ↈ
[03:08] <fokuslee302> Hi is there any real performance gain by migrating to ext4? any bugs i should be aware of?
[03:08] <blakkheim> Maletor: then it could be a corrupt video file
[03:09] <alokito> Alan502, you can use acetoneiso to mount cd/dvd virtually
[03:09] <piero> blakkheim, I want it to run in the remote computador and appear on remote screen
[03:09] <Maletor> blakkheim, nope, it's from a reputable torrent
[03:09] <alokito> Alan502, search google for acetoniso
[03:09] <alokito> Alan502, sorry its acetoneiso
[03:09] <rab1d> if init prompts "specify a device to boot" when looking for rootfs, how can i specify a rootfs that is in a squashfs image?
[03:09] <Alan502> alokito, it is not an *.iso file, it is a physical dvd on my physical dvd rom
[03:10] <rab1d> it's on /dev/sda1/rootfs
[03:10] <blakkheim> Maletor: then it could be a video card issue maybe?
[03:10] <alokito> Alan502, oh
[03:10] <blakkheim> Maletor: try different video outputs
[03:10] <chuy_max> grub installed in the wrong HDD, how can I install grub in the correct HDD?
[03:10] <blakkheim> !grub > chuy_max
[03:10] <alokito> Alan502, sudo mount /dev/scdsomething(see the disk path in gparted) /media/mountpath
[03:11] <Maletor> blakkheim, i am really starting to hate my nvidia 9800gtx+ i wish i just got ATI, i have resolution problems and everything plus it doesn't even look that good... yes i have the latest proprietary drivers from the website
[03:11] <blakkheim> Maletor: you'd be surprised, ati support in linux is MUCH worse than nvidia
[03:11] <B3rz3rk3r> Maletor, ATi def would NOT help
[03:11] <Alan502> alokito, ok thanks
[03:11] <Maletor> why does linux hate ATI?
[03:11] <fokuslee302> LOL B3rz3rk3r i second that
[03:11] <Guest60902> I want to install DOSBOX on Ubuntu...is it safe or does it invite viruses?
[03:12] <blakkheim> Maletor: it's the other way around
[03:12] <Maletor> ah ok
[03:12] <alokito> Maletor, does it? I heard Linux ATI support is great
[03:13] <suhV> You told me, I see the rise But, it always falls I see them come, I see them go You say, "All things pass into the night" And I say, "Oh no sir I must say you're wrong I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong" Won't you listen to me
[03:13] <suhV> You told me, I've seen it all before I been there, I've seen my hopes and dreams Lying on the ground I've seen the sky just begin to fall And you say, "All things pass into the night" And I say, "Oh no sir, I must say you're wrong I must disagree, oh no sir, I must say you're wrong" Won't you listen to me
[03:13] <rab1d> or anyone can point me to support for livecd/usb/pendrive linuxes?
[03:13] <StupidandUgly> what is the lightest file manager? I need something lighter the nautilus
[03:13] <blakkheim> !op | suhV
[03:13] <joako> How can I issue apt-get remove or apt-get purge command w/o getting a prompt to confirm?
[03:13] <suhV> Good-bye horses, I'm flying over you Good-bye horses, I'm flying over you Good-bye horses, I'm flying over you Good-bye horses, I'm flying, flying, flying over you
[03:13] <B3rz3rk3r> fokuslee302, to ans your Q, EXT4 benfits are boot time and large file transfers basically
[03:14] <B3rz3rk3r> fokuslee302, i think devs improved the journaling on it too
[03:14] <MilitantPotato> joako: yes && sudo apt-get remove "package" if i remember right
[03:14] <fokuslee302> B3rz3rk3r, ok thanks i probably give a try when lucid comes out then
[03:15] <MilitantPotato> yes spams "y"
[03:15] <fokuslee302> B3rz3rk3r, i just heard that metadata is written before the actual file data, and also if there is a crash you might loose the whole file
[03:15] <joako> Right and if I do sudo apt-get remove whatever it PROMPTS if I am sure. I do not want to be promtped
[03:15] <fokuslee302> B3rz3rk3r, but the upgrade procedure is simple enough
[03:15] <Joelito> hi all, guys...I have a question..kde brunch got kdeedu, what about gnome? I mean educational software.
[03:16] <B3rz3rk3r> fokuslee302, the whole idea behind journaling is to prevent exactly what you described there
[03:16] <morphias> lol joako, thats a form of a protection to prevent executables from granting themselves elevated permissions without your consent...
[03:16] <joako> I understand I need to enter root password.. fine
[03:17] <alokito> Joelito, there was edubundu but the edubundu softs is now available as a package in repo
[03:17] <fokuslee302> B3rz3rk3r, k thanks
[03:17] <alokito> !edubuntu | Joelito
[03:17] <MilitantPotato> joako
[03:17] <Joelito> alokito, wouldn't be trying to download the edubuntu distro?
[03:18] <alokito> Joelito, oh sorry I gave wrong info.. edubuntu is still there :-/
[03:18] <joako> MilitantPotato
[03:18] <MilitantPotato> the main reason not to do that, is in case an update breaks something, you'll of been prompted what was installed, so you can remove it.   (sorry, hit enter)
[03:18] <alokito> I think it was Gobuntu which was discontinued
[03:18] <joako> I understand but is there a way to bypass it?
[03:18] <alokito> Joelito, yup you can try the edubuntu distro
[03:18] <Joelito> alokito, oh, ok...I was hopping for a virtual package as kdeedu
[03:19] <alokito> Joelito, you can install the edubuntu packages in ubuntu itself, search synaptic for "edubuntu"
[03:19] <StupidandUgly> how do i acces synaptic package manager in Xbuntu
[03:19] <blakkheim> StupidandUgly: sudo synaptic
[03:19] <StupidandUgly> ty
[03:19] <alokito> StupidandUgly, Alt+F2>> gksudo synaptic
[03:20] <MilitantPotato> joako: as you type it out, add -y, like sudo apt-get -y purge ubuntu-desktop
[03:21] <StupidandUgly> I need the lightest and most stable file manager available what is it?
[03:21] <MilitantPotato> I'm not sure about completely removing prompts though, sorry.
[03:21] <blakkheim> StupidandUgly: try pcmanfm
[03:21] <Joelito> alokito, looking
[03:21] <StupidandUgly> thanks :D
[03:21] <joako> MilitantPotato: Works fine... I don't care if there is output as long as it is non-interactive
[03:22] <e-i-k-e> Dr_Willis: are u still here?
[03:22] <Mr__> why is ubuntu still screwing with mono?
[03:22] <MilitantPotato> You maybe able to make a new app link, so when you type apt-get it auto enters apt-get -y
[03:22] <shushek> exit
[03:22] <joako> Now, anyone knows how this is possible? When I install ldap-auth-config it prompts for ldap server config, Can I somehow pass the options to apt-get install through the command so I don't have to answer those as well?
[03:22] <MilitantPotato> but I'm not sure how that's done, only read about it
[03:23] <alokito> Joelito, sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop
[03:23] <StupidandUgly> can I completely remove thunar and replace it with pcmanfm?
[03:23] <blakkheim> StupidandUgly: yes
[03:23] <joako> MilitantPotato: I really just need this for a shell script to remove and then reinstall some packages
[03:23] <MilitantPotato> -y would do it then
[03:24] <hellyes> I just installed internet explorer for ubuntu, but I can't find any icons for it on the main menu.  Can anyone tell me where to look to find the IE I just installed?
[03:24] <StupidandUgly> it says it will uninstall Xbuntu desktop
[03:24] <Mr__> seriously why is Ubuntu still using Mono?
[03:24] <StupidandUgly> whats the deal with pulse audio
[03:25] <Dr_Willis> e-i-k-e:  im about to go to sleep.. whats up?
[03:25] <blakkheim> StupidandUgly: that's just a metapackage saying you have "all of" the default xubuntu desktop, it doesn't actually remove the desktop
[03:25] <StupidandUgly> ok neat thanks
[03:25] <Dr_Willis> hellyes:  exactly what did you install and how?
[03:25] <Mr__> ugggg apparently none of you realize anything about mono
[03:25] <morphias> Mr__, most likely for compatibility with apps that depend on mono
[03:25] <Dr_Willis> Mr__:  from what i gather - the gnome devs Like mono..
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> Mr__:  if you want in depth details.. perhaps ask on the forums
[03:26] <e-i-k-e> Dr_Willis: the bash script is not waiting until an operation finished
[03:26] <hellyes> Dr_Willis: ies4linux-2.99.0.1.  It installed, extracted the cabs and so forth, but when it completed, I could not find any icons or launchers for it...
[03:26] <Mr__> Dr_Willis, mono is from the devil himself it will eventually impose a MS tax on linux
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> e-i-k-e:  i tend to do rather basic bash scripting.
[03:26] <e-i-k-e> Dr_Willis: should mean the backup process starts befor the device is mounten in media/cryxpto
[03:27] <StupidandUgly> why did they change the add remove manager in ubuntu 9.10?
[03:27] <Dr_Willis> Mr__:  pointless discussion for tehis channel.  I suggest taking it to the forums or somewhere for in depth conversation.  Not really a Ubuntu support issue.
[03:27] <Mr__> Mono creeps in microsoft code into linux which can eventually lead to the "tax"
[03:27] <Dr_Willis> StupidandUgly:  they have been trying to make it more user friendly and dumbed down.
[03:27] <MilitantPotato> joako: you could make a custom shell script, name it whatever, and have it launch sudo apt-get -y, your shell wouldn't launch a manual apt-get, but point too the custom one you made, if you plan on doing it frequently.
[03:27] <Mr__> Dr_Willis, never pointless general users don't realize what they are doing using this shit
[03:28] <Dr_Willis> Mr__:  Its not ubuntu 'support' related. so i would say take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:28] <e-i-k-e> Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.ca/1731422 this is what lstarnes wrote for me
[03:28] <StupidandUgly> it is not more user friendly it is awful, I find it harder to use then the old version
[03:28] <elky> Mr__, please keep your FUD out of this channel.
[03:28] <Dr_Willis> StupidandUgly:  its a 'work in progress' personally i still use synaptic
[03:29] <blakkheim> i use aptitude
[03:29] <joako> MilitantPotato: I do have a shell script. What happens is the package ldap-auth-config when installed pops up a blue screen and asks to enter some settings and I would like those to be set to a certain value without interaction
[03:29] <Mr__> elky, you obviously don't even know what FUD means
[03:29] <hellyes> Dr_Willis: ies4linux-2.99.0.1.  It installed, extracted the cabs and so forth, but when it completed, I could not find any icons or launchers for it...
[03:29] <StupidandUgly> how can I run rhythm box on xubuntu?
[03:29] <blakkheim> StupidandUgly: install it, open it
[03:30] <elky> Mr__, Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. All of which your "from the devil himself" crud aims to instill in to innocent users.
[03:30] <Dr_Willis> hellyes:  i would say check the  ies4linux web site. since its using wine. id think it would put stuff under the wine sub menu item
[03:30] <StupidandUgly> lol neat thought it required gnome, I'm a noob
[03:31] <chuy_max> how can I change grub2 from sdb to sda?
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> e-i-k-e:  all i can suggest is check out the advanced bash scriopting guide and its examples and see what they do and try to figure out whats wrong. I rarely do fancy bash stuff.
[03:31] <hellyes> Dr_Willis: I thought that too, but all that's under the wine sub-menu is notepad....the ies4linux website seems to only show how to install, which it is.  Now I just need to find it and use it
[03:31] <joako> chuy_max: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst you probably want to look at /etc/fstab as well...
[03:31] <e-i-k-e> Dr_Willis: thanks
[03:32] <chuy_max> joako, what?
[03:32] <Dr_Willis> e-i-k-e:  I can understand what that script is doing. but i dont know eough to even see any errors. :)
[03:32] <chuy_max> joako, isn't grub2 supposed to use a different file than menu.lst?
[03:32] <Dr_Willis> grub2 does not use menu.lst
[03:32] <Dr_Willis> !grub2
[03:33] <mdg> Can anyone here walk me through booting plop from floppy and installing?
[03:33] <alokito> mdg, whats plop?
[03:33] <mdg> alokito: its a boot manager
[03:34] <mdg> alokito: sort of....
[03:34] <alokito> mdg, oh
[03:34] <alokito> hmm ok
[03:35] <chalot1> clear
[03:36] <edbian> If I buy a domain name from godaddy I can set up a server (at the ip address that the name points to) and run my own email correct?
[03:36] <edbian> (an ubuntu server :D )
[03:37] <gr4p3s> edbian: you have a server, right?
[03:37] <edbian> gr4p3s, yeah
[03:37] <edbian> gr4p3s, well, I will :)
[03:37] <gr4p3s> edbian: then I think you can... im pretty sure you can
[03:37] <gr4p3s> edbian: what do you plan on doing with it? =]
[03:37] <edbian> gr4p3s, running my own website and hosting my own email :)
[03:37] <edbian> gr4p3s, I'm a computer science major and it looks like I need this :)
[03:38] <gr4p3s> edbian: nice, have fun! =p Kinda jealous of you. Hahaha, I'm kinda broke right now, but I would love to build a server when i got the time
[03:38] <gr4p3s> and money of course
[03:38] <gr4p3s> hahaha
[03:39] <edbian> gr4p3s, I'm just going to use an old computer I have lying around.  It won't be a server in the hardware sense (not yet anyway)  I also am not filled with money
[03:39] <MrKeuner> hello, on one of my systems, .encryptfs is under /home. Is that normal or Have I messed up something?
[03:39] <mdg> plob anyone?
[03:39] <mdg> I mean plop
[03:39] <gr4p3s> edbian: good luck with it. but if your website gets popular, you're going to need to upgrade it probably
[03:41] <navidhg> hello.
[03:41] <hellyes> Dr_Willis: the installer for IE Linux says the location for the install is /home/nitro/.ies4linux. But when I go to /home/nitro/ I don't see .ies4linux anywhere. Am I missing something?
[03:41] <navidhg> I was thinking of how awesome it would be if Ubuntu for mobile came out
[03:41] <blakkheim> hellyes: can i ask why you want IE on linux
[03:42] <hellyes> blakkhelm: some websites I need to use for work, only allow IE 5.5 and above...
[03:42] <fokuslee302> navidhg, i don't think that will work giving you root on a mobile is kinda dangerous
[03:42] <navidhg> just run it through wine
[03:42] <blakkheim> hellyes: install a user agent spoofer for firefox and get around it
[03:42] <scunizi_> edbian: gr4p3s if it get's popular your isp is going to notice and shut you off probably.. running a server is typically against their CoC.. but it may be different where you are.
[03:42] <navidhg> Or have the IE plugin for Chrome
[03:43] <hellyes> blakkheim: can you tell me how to do this or where I can start this process? I've never spoofed and don't have a clue how to do it
[03:43] <navidhg> It renders pages using the IE engine
[03:43] <scunizi_> blakkheim: that doesn't always work.. IE yick
[03:43] <blakkheim> hellyes: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59
[03:43] <gr4p3s> scunizi_, oh, i didnt know that. i thought it was just a matter of upgrading your plan so you get higher bandwidth?
[03:43] <alokito> hellyes, if you have decent hardware you can use virtualbox to run windows(and IE in it)
[03:43] <scunizi_> hellyes: install an old copy of windows in a vm..
[03:44] <navidhg> run it through wine!
[03:44] <BLACk> was wondering if somebody can help me with something. im new to this, but i would like to bind a key to switch from VMware full screen mode and minimize the program to task bar. I have backtrack 4 installed on VMware
[03:44] <scunizi_> gr4p3s: well you can do that but it typically involves moving from consumer service to business service.
[03:44] <scunizi_> gr4p3s: and they will typically assign a static ip for you as well.
[03:45] <BoXis> wine works slow for me, does anybody else have that problem?
[03:45] <Joelito> hi all, can dpkg know how to look for dependecies for a package placed in the same directory?
[03:45] <navidhg> has anyone tried running itunes through wine? Does it work well?
[03:45] <blakkheim> navidhg: no
[03:45] <StupidandUgly> no does not work from what I recall
[03:45] <fokuslee302> navidhg i know the latest itune does not work at all
[03:45] <StupidandUgly> does not even work on virtual windows
[03:46] <gr4p3s> scunizi_, thanks for the info! i dont think im planning on hosting my own site, but in the future, maybe. =]
[03:46] <chuy_max> :S, I'm going nuts, Ubuntu installed GRUB2 on the wrong HDD (the old one that is very likely to fail very soon)
[03:46] <BLACk> was wondering if somebody can help me with something. im new to this, but i would like to bind a key to switch from VMware full screen mode and minimize the program to task bar. I have backtrack 4 installed on VMware                                                               sorry to repost but if you have a solution for this please message me
[03:46] <navidhg> ok
[03:46] <chuy_max> I tried the instructions to reinstall Grub2 without success
[03:46] <StupidandUgly> BoXis you can't use itunes with linux no exceptions, only way to run it is to dual boot
[03:46] <navidhg> I'll have to stick to rhythmbox then
[03:46] <blakkheim> StupidandUgly: or use a virtual machine
[03:46] <hellyes> blakkheim: worked like a charm! Thank you very much.  I appreciate it.  Thanx to the rest of you who tried to help as well
[03:47] <fokuslee302> navidhg, yeah but i can't get firmware updates at all for iphone
[03:47] <navidhg> Hmmm
[03:47] <StupidandUgly> blakkheim Yes it will run on virtual machine but you cannot sync Ipod with it and that is all itunes is good for
[03:47] <blakkheim> StupidandUgly: why can't you sync the ipod?
[03:47] <BoXis> no, i was just saying that my wine is slow
[03:47] <navidhg> I need to be able to manage and download poscasts
[03:47] <StupidandUgly> blakkheim It just does not work I have tried before
[03:47] <BLACk> setup VMware and run a 32 bit windows xp. you will be able to use itunes no prob
[03:47] <scunizi_> gr4p3s: you can do that without godaddy.. if you have a router it will typically allow you to connect it to dyndns.com.. dyndns.com will allow you to get a domain name for free like <something of your choice>.<pick a name>.org com us etc.. also your isp will block port 80 and you'll have to change your server from using that to 8080 or something else.. limited use ..no problem.. cheaper than godaddy
[03:48] <navidhg> That is all I use itunes for
[03:48] <blakkheim> StupidandUgly: then you are doing it wrong because it works just fine
[03:48] <fokuslee302> navidhg, oh ur in good shape then
[03:48] <alokito> StupidandUgly, yes it does work, I have 2 ipod shuffles and 1 nano
[03:48] <fokuslee302> scunizi_, but if you don't register the domain name you may loose it right?
[03:48] <gr4p3s> scunizi_, hahaha, im not the one trying to do something with godaddy. edbian was. I do have my own site though... Registered a domain for $1.99, and i got free hosting on some site
[03:49] <navidhg> fokuslee302 ?????????
[03:49] <alokito> StupidandUgly, I wasn't able to sync the nano, but shuffles work fine
[03:49] <StupidandUgly> blakkheim well I'm speaking from experience, they must have fixed it
[03:49] <scunizi_> fokuslee302: the one you choose is your's for as long as you are registered with dyndns.com..
[03:49] <BLACk> Anybody here familiar with Vmware workstation for windows?
[03:49] <blakkheim> StupidandUgly: maybe you were using the OSE version of virtualbox that doesn't have usb support
[03:49] <fokuslee302> navidhg, im just saying if you just use itune for podcast your ok
[03:49] <fokuslee302> scunizi_, shoot i didn't know that lol
[03:49] <fokuslee302> aye paid for mine, sucks
[03:50]  * suppository craps
[03:50] <navidhg> cool :)
[03:50] <StupidandUgly> blakkheim trust me I wasn't, I spent a lot of time searching the form as well and came to the conclusion that it does not work. I was trying to connect my ipod touch
[03:50] <alokito> StupidandUgly, you can use rhythmbox in gnome, and there's amarok in kde but you need to install some extra plugins for it
[03:50] <scunizi_> fokuslee302: but it's a sub type domain.. so if your account is setup with a user name like bilbo.. then your web address will be bilbo.geeksip.com or similar
[03:50]  * suppository takes a dump
[03:51] <alokito> StupidandUgly, yah, touch won't work :(
[03:51] <aliendude5300> Is it true that they are removing Synaptic and gdebi in Lucid?!? :( I LOVE Synaptic... :/ Software Center isn't even a comparison!
[03:51] <blakkheim> aliendude5300: just use aptitude :)
[03:51]  * suppository shits
[03:51] <scunizi_> aliendude5300: you.. I think.. can still install it
[03:51] <blakkheim> !op | suppository
[03:51] <edbian> gr4p3s, Where did you register for 1.99 ??
[03:51] <StupidandUgly> blakkheim I was unaware that shuffles worked but thanks for letting me know :D
[03:51] <alokito> StupidandUgly, its too complicated for a plugin/soft in linux to sync nano or touch
[03:51] <dodecaphonics> aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. If you can raed tihs, psot it to yuor wlal. Olny 55% of plepoe can
[03:52] <BoXis> i'm using dyndns.com next time, I use godaddy too.
[03:52]  * suppository has a bif turtlehead pokin' out.
[03:52]  * suppository defecates
[03:52] <fokuslee302> scunizi_, oh ok, i guess i got my money worth, : ) good to know thou alot of my friends are buying domain atleast same them some money
[03:52] <fokuslee302> they just run blog on it
[03:52] <alokito> ask they don't officially support Linux
[03:52] <elky> suppository, are you likely to make a valid contribution to this channel at any point in the near future?
[03:52] <StupidandUgly> alokito do you mean codecs? What do you mean by extras?
[03:52] <scunizi_> fokuslee302: that's kinda like a bbs in the old days
[03:52] <BLACk> Anybody here familiar with Vmware workstation for windows?
[03:52] <maco> StupidandUgly: http://matt.colyer.name/projects/iphone-linux/
[03:53] <scunizi_> BLACk: use to be.. switched to virtualbox
[03:53] <dodecaphonics> im familiar with my relatives, but not with windows
[03:53] <navidhg> what are your guys' favourite CMS (content management system)?
[03:53] <maco> StupidandUgly: i got that link from one of the guys who worked on reverse-engineering the ipod touch
[03:53] <scunizi_> navidhg: joomla
[03:53] <h00k> well, it's official, it looks like I have to downgrade from grub2 to grub legacy
[03:53] <StupidandUgly> alokito yeah well my ipod touchs is pretty useless since the headphone jack broke so that problem solved itself
[03:53] <alokito> StupidandUgly, no not codecs, I mean that its hard to make a soft/plugin in linux that can understand the Operating system of nano or higher
[03:53] <navidhg> Same
[03:53] <dodecaphonics> i got a problem with gorgs
[03:53] <alokito> shuffle's os is simple
[03:53] <maco> alokito: check out that link i just pasted to StupidandUgly
[03:53] <BLACk> i neeed to know how to close the vmware window in full screen mode with a key bind or something
[03:53] <BLACk> minimize
[03:54] <dodecaphonics> the gorgs always try to catch some fraggles, and its a real mess around here
[03:54] <navidhg> I wanted to know if there are any good alternatives to Joomla
[03:54] <scunizi_> BLACk: F11?
[03:54] <BLACk> i need to minimize the window.  no that wont work
[03:54] <StupidandUgly> don't they keep encrypting the firmware on the ipods?
[03:54] <aliendude5300> I really hate how they are trying to oversimplify Ubuntu... it's much better the way it is than with the Software Center... I was actually disappointed when Add/Remove programs was removed. I've been using it and Synaptic since 6.10... :(
[03:54] <njsharkracer> anyone else have problems with facebook chat on firefix slowing down their machine?
[03:54] <BLACk> because they keyboard is being used by ubuntu
[03:54] <scunizi_> BLACk: does F11 take it out of full screen?
[03:54] <StupidandUgly> I don't know what I'm taking about so I will shut up lol
[03:54] <alokito> StupidandUgly, actually it wouldn't be that hard if ipods officially supported linux, but they don't, so bad luck to us ipodians :(
[03:54] <maco> aliendude5300: the software center will do more, dont worry, its just still a work in progress
[03:54] <BLACk> i need to minimize it to tool bar
[03:55] <BLACk> while still in full screen mode
[03:55] <gr4p3s> edbian: i found a really good coupon code in the summer at godaddy. after tax and icann fee, it was like $2.13
[03:55] <scunizi_> BLACk: try in #vmware
[03:55] <alokito> maco, can you post it again?
[03:55] <BLACk> ok
[03:55] <alokito> maco, the link, I missed it
[03:55] <maco> alokito: http://matt.colyer.name/projects/iphone-linux/
[03:55] <scunizi_> BLACk: I don't think you can do that without first taking it out of full screen mode
[03:55] <edbian> gr4p3s, Not bad!  I just paid $10
[03:55] <maco> aliendude5300: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter
[03:55] <alokito> ok, thanks
[03:55] <StupidandUgly> alokito I hear mac takes code from linux, they should give back a little
[03:55] <maco> StupidandUgly: no, they take from bsd
[03:56] <maco> StupidandUgly: bsd license allows them to not release their changes
[03:56] <StupidandUgly> o
[03:56] <StupidandUgly> interesting
[03:56] <maco> StupidandUgly: thats the difference between bsd and glp
[03:56] <maco> *gpl
[03:56] <alokito> StupidandUgly, no, mac is based on the "mach" kernel which came from BSD
[03:56] <joako> But they do release Darwin and other opensource stuff... Apple owns CUPS if you never noticed
[03:57] <saint__> Can anyone here help me with Kubuntu 9.10?
[03:57] <alokito> StupidandUgly, you can say its based on "unix" somehow, but no not linux
[03:57] <StupidandUgly> ic
[03:57] <gr4p3s> edbian: it's always possible to find lower prices, if you just wait long enough... but $10 isn't bad either
[03:57] <aliendude5300> maco, theres no way the software center will have information as technical as synaptic for power users like myself, such as dependencies. It just aims to make software installation easy for the computer illiterate, but as a software developer, I like having tools like Synaptic and gdebi for installing software. If they had Software Center and Synaptic + gdebi, I wouldn't care.
[03:57] <scunizi_> joako: it's amazing when you show http://localhost:631 to a mac user.. they never know it's there.
[03:57] <maco> aliendude5300: if youre a software developer then im surprised you're using synaptic at all rather than apt-cache, apt-get, and aptitude
[03:58] <saint__> I know this is the Ubuntu channel, but can someone here help me on Kubuntu?
[03:58] <aliendude5300> I might as well be using debian. I can build Ubuntu from a server command line installation as it is... :/
[03:58] <alokito> saint__, it would be better to ask in #kubuntu channel, but you can ask here too
[03:58] <blakkheim> maco: agreed
[03:58] <maco> saint__: whats up?
[03:58] <scunizi_> saint__: maybe whats up
[03:58] <aliendude5300> maco, I use apt-get ALL the time. Synaptic is better for checking package dependencies and conflicts.
[03:58] <saint__> I am on an HP mini 110. I installed Kubuntu 9.04 then upgraded to 9.10. Everything works but the internet
[03:58] <maco> aliendude5300: how so?
[03:58] <saint__> I connect wirelessly and still no internet
[03:59] <saint__> I do a ping and it pings fine
[03:59] <AIIID> how do i set emphaty to work in invisible mode on gtalk
[03:59] <saint__> but nothing ever worked.. Any suggestions?
[03:59] <scunizi_> saint__: do you have encryption enabled on your router?
[03:59] <joako> Can you connect to a site by IP address?
[03:59] <saint__> no
[03:59] <maco> saint__: if ping to an outside ip works, youve got net...
[03:59] <saint__> yes. but not by URL
[03:59] <maco> saint__: ok then dns is busted. whats in /etc/resolv.conf?
[03:59] <joako> what does your /etc/resolv.conf say?
[03:59] <alokito> maco, thanks for the link, but I think a nano can't read normal "file copy-paste"
[04:00] <njsharkracer> saint__:  if you can't get to a site by url then check your dns settings
[04:00] <aliendude5300> Sometimes, it's easier to see things in a GUI, so you have a better idea what is being installed when you add a package and what you require, as well as short descriptions of what each package is for.
[04:00] <saint__> oh I know. but for some reason when I type in say like google.com or what ever, that just freezes and it says that it cant find it. but it can find the ip
[04:00] <alokito> maco, itunes copies the files in nano in a special way
[04:00] <maco> alokito: i dont know about nano. that link is for ipod touch
[04:00] <saint__> it's set to auto.
[04:00] <blakkheim> aliendude5300: aptitude show packagename
[04:00] <alokito> brb
[04:00] <scunizi_> saint__: you have to open a terminal and look at the file maco & joako  mentioned
[04:00] <scunizi_> saint__: report back to them
[04:01] <saint__> sorry what was the file name again :P
[04:01] <StupidandUgly> Does anyone know of a mp3 player similar to an ipod that uses linux?
[04:01] <maco> saint__: /etc/resolv.conf
[04:01] <joako> scunizi_: He can also open a GUI-based text editor such as (I can't think of what one is called)
[04:01] <maco> StupidandUgly: similar how?
[04:01] <StupidandUgly> it has a GUI interface
[04:01] <joako> StupidandUgly: I have an Sandisk Sansa connect and it runs Linux
[04:01] <maco> StupidandUgly: i use a Cowon D2. its a decent sized touchscreen system
[04:01] <maco> StupidandUgly: it doesnt run linux, but it works well with it
[04:01] <blakkheim> StupidandUgly: a graphical user interface interface?
[04:01] <navidhg> Sanza clip
[04:01] <scunizi_> joako: kate.. but he won't be able to edit it without installing kdesu first and using that to open kate
[04:01] <fidin> i have an eeepc that came with windows 7 starter, should i put normal ubuntu, or ubuntu remix?
[04:01] <StupidandUgly> lol yeah I just saw that
[04:01] <aliendude5300> blakkheim, that's useful, but sometimes I feel too lazy to open a terminal and mess with aptitude. :P
[04:01] <StupidandUgly> sorry for error
[04:01] <edbian> Can someone help me?  I would like to tell goDaddy.com to point my new domain name at a particular ip address.  How do I do that?
[04:02] <qwerty_> hi
[04:02] <whoever> can i get some help with an xorg grb: not working at all , scroll light doest light and keymap doesn't change
[04:02] <maco> edbian: ask godaddy?
[04:02] <qwerty_> How do I update java??
[04:02] <saint__> ok. when I look for that file. what should I be looking for within it?
[04:02] <qwerty_> on ubuntu
[04:02] <scunizi_> edbian: log into your account with godaddy and look around there..
[04:02] <aliendude5300> qwerty_, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:02] <maco> !pastebin | saint__
[04:02] <scunizi_> saint__: use nicks so it highlights the person(s) your're talking to .
[04:02] <maco> saint__: just give us the contents
[04:02] <joako> edbian: You need to tell godaddy to associate your domain with a DNS server. The DNS server will handle the lookups of the domain to IP address. One free service is zoneedit.com
[04:02] <blakkheim> aliendude5300: it's less work than opening up synaptic and going through its menus and such
[04:03] <maco> blakkheim: especially if youve always got a terminal open ;)
[04:03] <blakkheim> maco: i always do :)
[04:03] <edbian> joako, dyndns  is another?
[04:03] <saint__> maco: should I do it on my 9.04 or upgrade to 9.10 again and try? If it's 9.10 I can't do it lol
[04:03] <edbian> Thanks guys, godaddy is throwing a thousand complicated things at me trying to get me to buy more crap from them
[04:03] <maco> saint__: doesnt matter
[04:03] <saint__> ok one sec.
[04:03] <whoever> here is my xorg.conf
[04:03] <saint__> maco: one sec
[04:04] <joako> edbian: Yes but the service from DynDNS you need for a domain is called "custom DNS" and it is not free
[04:04] <whoever> http://dpaste.com/139111/
[04:04] <alokito> joako my sister has sandisk sansa and it works fine too :)
[04:04] <joako> edbian: and if you have not completed your purchase from godaddy, please dont. Use a reputable registrar instead
[04:04] <BoXis> edbian: you select the domain and then go to the server link, it should tell you where to put the ip address
[04:04] <edbian> joako, thank you!  You're tremendously helpful
[04:05] <chuy_max> how am I supposed to configure GRUB2?
[04:05] <scunizi_> edbian: joako aplus.net is one
[04:05] <edbian> joako, oops, I already did.  Name some that are more reputable?
[04:05] <blakkheim> !grub2 > chuy_max

[04:05] <edbian> Boxis:  Thanks
[04:05] <njsharkracer> edbian: have you ever tried opendns?
[04:05] <edbian> scunizi_, Thanks
[04:05] <saint__> woops.. sorry
[04:05] <edbian> njsharkracer, I use them :)  but not for hosting my domain
[04:05] <maco> saint__: id expect the nameservers to come first...
[04:06] <aliendude5300> Atleast leave gdebi in, there's a LOT of proprietary apps you can't get in the default repositories like Skype and it's MUCH easier to just download the .deb in firefox and double click it...
[04:06] <maco> saint__: host google 192.168.1.1
[04:06] <Deviouz> hi guys
[04:06] <BoXis> edbian: I think t35.com is one... haven't tried it.
[04:06] <maco> saint__: does it return google's IP or does it error out?
[04:06] <blakkheim> aliendude5300: dpkg -i file.deb
[04:06] <saint__> maco: it returns an ip
[04:06] <h00k> has anybody ever heard of Win7 eating grub2 after Windows updates? As described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/482757
[04:06] <joako> edbian: For low volume I am not sure. I have an enom reseller account but if you just want a few domains they charge something like $35/year (reseller account charges "normal prices") I Never used them to register a domain but I use nettica.com paid DNS service and they say if you buy your domain from them you get free DNS service for that domain
[04:06] <maco> saint__: try just swapping that file around so the 2 nameserver lines come before domain & search lines
[04:07] <saint__> ok. if I have nay other issues. I'll come back here after reinstalling 9.04 lol
[04:07] <saint__> maco: thank you for the help
[04:07] <aliendude5300> blakkheim, true, but double clicking is easier than clicking the terminal and typing that after cding to the download location or typing the full path to the file... and gdebi takes up virtually no space at all so it makes sense to have in a default installation.
[04:07] <maco> saint__: no problem
[04:07] <scunizi_> maco: can't saint__ put in opendns's ip's?  they're pretty fast
[04:07] <joako> maco: it should not matter I see here the default resolv.conf generaged by NetworkManager and it is domain lan / search lan / nameserver 192.168.1.1
[04:08] <maco> scunizi_: yes, but the confusing bit is that the there *is* a working dns server in there already
[04:08] <edbian> joako, Thanks! :)
[04:08] <edbian> BoXis, I'm having trouble finding the server setting you mentioned, can you be more specific?
[04:08] <Deviouz> do xubuntu have chan?
[04:08] <maco> joako: ive never seen it in that order, but if specifying the dns server to use makes it work... seems like its not reaching that line of the file
[04:08] <maco> Deviouz: yes
[04:09] <Deviouz> cool
[04:09] <h00k> Has anybody ever heard of Win7 eating grub2 after Windows updates? As described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/482757
[04:09] <linuxlvr78> hey all
[04:09] <aliendude5300> h00k, no -- I'll have to keep that in mind...
[04:09] <epaphus> hello, how can I install more codecs for ekiga??
[04:09] <linuxlvr78> my first time here
[04:10] <BoXis> edbian: give me a sec...
[04:10] <scunizi_> h00k: if there's a bug registered then there's at least one person
[04:10] <whoever> can anyone help with mapping keys
[04:10] <edbian> BoXis, Thank you, you've been very helpful so far :)
[04:10] <aliendude5300> whoever, sure, what layout?
[04:10] <aliendude5300> System -> Preferences -> Keyboard...
[04:10] <h00k> aliendude5300: I'm not sure if it's happening with everyone or if this is a special case for some reason
[04:10] <Koganei> hm, my connection with my router is erratic, it slows down about every 15 seconds, but my other wireless devices aren't affected
[04:11] <hellyes> is there an Internet Explorer plug-in (spoofer) for Chrome(linux)?
[04:11] <Koganei> what are the utilities I can use to help diagnose this
[04:11] <Koganei> like a network version of top or something
[04:11] <aliendude5300> Koganei, kismet is useful for wireless diagnostics.
[04:12] <cysic> I deleted grub
[04:12] <cysic> wat happen
[04:12] <aliendude5300> Koganei, someone might be forging deauthentication packets, or you might have a weak signal/bad driver.
[04:12] <whoever> aliendude5300: here is my xorg and it's us and davorak-r http://dpaste.com/139111/

[04:12] <cysic> evidently
[04:13] <edbian> BoXis, I hate it BTW, it's a mess
[04:13] <curtmack> I just tried to upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10. At some point in the process the computer crashed at the kernel level (REISUB did not work). So I power cycled it, and it booted up fine. Is there anything I should do before trying to upgrade again?
[04:13] <sasori2501> hey all.  having a major problem running ubu 9.04 nbr, and vbox 3.1.  2 days of this and im sick of it.  how can i completely purge it and try it again???
[04:13] <h00k> curtmack: perhaps sudo apt-get install -f
[04:13] <scunizi_> maco .. here's what's in my kubuntu resolv.conf in my vm.. http://pastebin.com/f269bced7
[04:13] <cysic> i reinstalled grub
[04:13] <hellyes> is there an Internet Explorer plug-in (spoofer) for Chrome(linux)?
[04:13] <BoXis> edbian: You might have to make manual entries in the name servers.
[04:13] <linuxlvr78> how do i add a server?
[04:14] <navidhg> Yes there is hellyes
[04:14] <edbian> BoXis, Can you help me do that?
[04:14] <rahduke1> yo ppl  some of my samba share folders show up on my network with weird ass letters and numbers instead of the folder names
[04:14] <rahduke1> whats up with that?
[04:14] <navidhg> There a chrome plugin
[04:14] <h00k> !language | rahduke1
[04:14] <aliendude5300> whoever, type setxkbmap us in terminal for us layout...
[04:14] <curtmack> h00k: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 removed, 1183 not upgraded
[04:14] <aliendude5300> let me check the command for dvorak.
[04:14] <qwerty_> and how do you enable java?
[04:14] <qwerty_> I am trying to access a online chart and says I have to enable java
[04:14] <h00k> curtmack: it "sounds" okay
[04:14] <hellyes> navidhg: do you know the name or how I can get it?
[04:14] <qwerty_> But I already installed it
[04:15] <navidhg> Google it!
[04:15] <rahduke1> yo ppl  some of my samba share folders show up on my network with weird a$$ letters and numbers instead of the folder names, whats up with that??
[04:15] <navidhg> I'm not on my Ubuntu system at the moment
[04:15] <aliendude5300> whoever, for dvorak, i think the command is setxkbmap dvorak
[04:15] <navidhg> So I couldn't tell you
[04:15] <whoever> aliendude5300: is this to set the initial keyboard?
[04:15] <curtmack> okay, different question: At this point, would you say it's simpler to download an Ubuntu 9.10 ISO, install a fresh copy, and then manually install all my programs?
[04:15] <curtmack> I have /home on a different partition
[04:16] <mkquist> curtmack: i find that its faster to just do a fresh install, upgrades always take me forever
[04:16] <aliendude5300> I believe so, if not the default can be selected in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts.
[04:16] <whoever> aliendude5300: its davorak-r.. hopefully
[04:16] <phixxor> yo what's up -- I'm trying to copy a file to my desktop (using root nautillus) but I get an error saying I don't have permission. How can I bypass this error and copy files and folders?
[04:16] <Dr_Willis> hellyes:  thers a chrome extension web site
[04:16] <scunizi_> curtmack: not sure what's going on but have you tried sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:16] <curtmack> scunizi_: I was upgrading through the Update Manager
[04:16] <qwerty_> aliendude I installed java
[04:16] <qwerty_> thanks
[04:16] <curtmack> isn't that essentially the same thing?
[04:16] <qwerty_> BUt how do I run it
[04:17] <rahduke1> ya'll are too cool to help me out?
[04:17] <usr13> phixxor: You should not need to use root  to copy files to your desktop.
[04:17] <Dr_Willis> qwerty_:  perhaps you dident install the java plugin.
[04:17] <Dr_Willis> qwerty_:  but the java runtime instead.
[04:17] <Dr_Willis> !java
[04:17] <h00k> curtmack: you'll probably be okay doing a dist-upgrade with update-manager -d, if worse-comes-to-worse, perhaps have a 9.10 liveCD/USB on hand
[04:17] <mkquist> rahduke1: are the drives in fstab? that are shared?
[04:17] <phixxor> usr13, I had to use root to access the directory I'm copying from
[04:17] <aliendude5300> whoever, I've tried dvorak -- it's so much slower than QWERTY for me. Unless you're used to it, it's not worth it if you type fast in QWERTY (for me I type 60wpm in QWERTY).
[04:17] <scunizi_> curtmack: no.. it should just upgrade older programs to the latest version for the release that you have.
[04:17] <rahduke1> mkquist: no sir
[04:18] <mkquist> rahduke1: thats when it happens to me
[04:18] <rahduke1> just you typical SMB shares accessed from win7 win xp and xbox
[04:18] <usr13> phixxor: Should not be needed.
[04:18] <usr13> What files are you tring to copy?
[04:18] <phixxor> usr13, why
[04:18] <mkquist> rahduke1: oh i thought you meant the ones on ur linux box
[04:18] <StupidandUgly> whats the command to run rhythmbox from the terminal
[04:18] <usr13> from where?  What directory?
[04:18] <qwerty_> dr. willis
[04:18] <qwerty_> How do I install the actual Java
[04:18] <phixxor> usr13, files from an external HD used for mac time capsule
[04:18] <phixxor> er, time machine
[04:18] <rahduke1> mkquist: it happens on linux comps accessing the shares as well
[04:19] <mkquist> rahduke1: got me there
[04:19] <Koganei> so yeah, network tools anyone? :P
[04:19] <whoever> aliendude5300: i'm typing with one hand
[04:19] <rahduke1> i mean i got a folder called 2012 being shared and it shows up as 2GW244~Z
[04:19] <rahduke1> wtf
[04:19] <rahduke1> its insanity
[04:19] <usr13> phixxor: What filesystem does the external HD use?  Is it FAT32?  or?
[04:19] <dios_mio> StupidandUgly, run the rythmbox, then look at the processes with ps
[04:19] <StupidandUgly> thanks
[04:19] <w3asal> hey does anyone know if there's a way to remove the udf partition that sticks around even after a complete reformat on a WD passport?
[04:19] <phixxor> HFS+
[04:19] <dios_mio> StupidandUgly, ps xaf rather
[04:20] <epaphus> hello, how can I install more codecs for ekiga??
[04:20] <joako> w3asal: cat /dev/zero > /dev/whatever-your-drive-us
[04:20] <whoever> aliendude5300: ?
[04:20] <w3asal> it's not the data I want to get rid of, it's the partition. partition managers don't see it, but it mounts
[04:20] <usr13> epaphus: If you install mplayer, you will more than likely install more codecs with it.
[04:21] <h00k> w3asal: if it's a new one, no,because it's on a physical chip
[04:21] <aliendude5300> whoever, sorry, I was reading on the web for a minute there... I guess that makes sense if you type with only one hand.
[04:21] <joako> w3asal: Ok, then don't run the command I said because it will erase everything on the drive
[04:21] <w3asal> joako, yeah, I know
[04:21] <w3asal> h00k, that's what I was afraid of, any way to tell ubuntu not to mount it?
[04:21] <whoever> aliendude5300: when i enter $ sudo setxkbmap dvorak-r
[04:21] <whoever> Password:
[04:21] <whoever> Error loading new keyboard description
[04:22] <joako> I wonder, if you take apart the drive and put the drive in your PC does it still show up?
[04:22] <h00k> wastrel: good question. I saw a tut online that showed how to remove the chip but it voids the drives warranty
[04:22] <phixxor> urs13: I can read the files in gksu nautilus, but if I try to cd into the directory, I get "sudo: cd: command not found"
[04:22] <usr13> phixxor: not sudo cd  just ce
[04:22] <usr13> cd not ce
[04:22] <phixxor> usr13, then I get permission denied
[04:23] <usr13> phixxor: mount | pastebinit
[04:23] <aliendude5300> whoever, type -config before the name of the keyboard map. for example setxkbmap -config us.
[04:23] <phixxor> http://pastebin.com/f64fa2228
[04:23] <aliendude5300> whoever, that should fix it.
[04:23] <usr13> phixxor: Let us have a look at how it's mounted.
[04:23] <phixxor> usr13, alright. I let gnome auto mount it
[04:23] <aliendude5300> whoever, tell me if that works for you...
[04:24] <usr13> phixxor: You got it now?
[04:25] <phixxor> usr13, so the way it's mounted affects whether I can copy files from it?
[04:25] <whoever> aliendude5300: what is the purpose? i that it was aleady anitializd in xorg.conf
[04:25] <phixxor> usr13, got what?
[04:25] <StupidandUgly> anyone recommend a good movie
[04:25] <usr13> Never mind..
[04:25] <w3asal> I now see that the physical chip is being mounted from /dev/sr1, can I add a config line somewhere to just ignore /dev/sr1 automatically?
[04:25] <h00k> Has anybody ever heard of Win7 eating grub2 after Windows updates? As described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/482757
[04:25] <aliendude5300> whoever, it lets you change your keyboard mapping if it's not working... not sure how you'd change that in Xorg.conf.
[04:26] <usr13> phixxor: Which is it?  /media/75D39D7D40509F2B  or  /media/Macbook Backbook
[04:26] <phixxor> usr13, macbook backbook
[04:26] <aliendude5300> whoever, plus, you don't have to restart the xserver to switch between us and dvorak.
[04:26] <phixxor> usr13, my ultimate goal is to copy directories from macbook backbook to the other partition
[04:26] <aliendude5300> whoever, useful if sharing a computer.
[04:26] <usr13> phixxor: cd /media/Mackbook\ Backbook/
[04:27] <StupidandUgly> what are some packages I can get ride of that will reduce the size of the Xbuntu OS?
[04:27] <StupidandUgly> besides the common ones
[04:27] <phixxor> usr13, mac*book backbook, but got it
[04:27] <phixxor> usr13, what now
[04:28] <whoever> aliendude5300: i enter setxkbmap -config us and i get no error but the layout does not change
[04:28] <w3asal> is there a line I can add to fstab which says "when something is plugged into /dev/sr1, ignore it"?
[04:28] <usr13> phixxor: cp file1 file2 file3 $HOME/Desktop/
[04:29] <usr13> phixxor: Or:  cp file1 file2 file3  /media/75D39D7D40509F2B/
[04:29] <phixxor> usr13, it's not that simple. The directories I need are nested in some tricky partitions: see http://bit.ly/5IHQC5
[04:29] <phixxor> usr13, but I'll try
[04:29] <whoever> aliendude5300: fyi: the default keymap is dvorak-r
[04:29] <phixxor> usr13, tricky directories, rather
[04:30] <Purpley> Can someone give me a link to how to setup a SSH server on linux? Google didn't help
[04:30] <aliendude5300> whoever, hmm... not sure how to fix that. To see usage information for setxbmap, type man before the command: man setxkbmap
[04:30] <aliendude5300> maybe someone else knows... this is a public IRC channel after all. :)
[04:30] <scunizi_> Purpley: sudo apt-get install ssh .. then it's installed both server and client
[04:30] <usr13> phixxor: The tab key is your friend.
[04:31] <phixxor> :)
[04:31] <phixxor> so is ls in another tab
[04:31] <Purpley> I know scunizi_ I want additional info on how to set it up
[04:31] <usr13> ubottu ssh | Purpley
[04:31] <scunizi_> !ssh | Purpley
[04:31] <Purpley> thanks

[04:32] <phixxor> usr, $ ls /media/Macbook\ Backbook/.HFS+\ Private\ Directory\ Data^M/dir_1586312/Patrick/Desktop/
[04:32] <phixxor> usr13, ^
[04:32] <phixxor> usr13, /dir_1586312/Patrick/Desktop/: Permission deniedk/.HFS+ Private Directory Data
[04:33] <phixxor> that's what happens when I try ls
[04:33] <phixxor> oh nvm, sudo ls works
[04:33] <usr13> phixxor: I was just saying that the Tab key is your friend, (on the keyboard) (will help you navigate via CLI to "tricky directories")
[04:33] <phixxor> usr13, yes, I know. I just need to know the names of the files I want to autocomplete
[04:34] <phixxor> usr13, they all have numbers in front of them that I don't remember
[04:34] <James_-_> Dose Ubuntu Server have a a copy that will run on a i686
[04:35] <scunizi_> James_-_: x86 version runs on i486+
[04:36] <James_-_> umm odd that what i thought but i just got an odd error, let me reboot and see whats up, I may be back
[04:36] <phixxor> usr13, cp doesn't work either. "cannot stat" see http://pastebin.com/f64fa2228
[04:36] <kinja-sheep> I have a question about plugged devices. What is their usual path? /dev/? I'm going to write a script that'll be executed only if the particular usb device is plugged in. I can see the info in dmesg though.
[04:37] <{MHA}Demonic> any1 on
[04:37] <{MHA}Demonic> need help connecting to my internet wirelessly
[04:37] <kinja-sheep> {MHA}Demonic: We read you.
[04:37] <EastDallas> !wireless
[04:38] <tsolox> is it ok/safe to upgrade from ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 via upgrde??
[04:38] <EastDallas> tsolox: I did.
[04:38] <kinja-sheep> {MHA}Demonic: Check the Hardware Drivers under System --> Admin if you haven't done that yet.
[04:38] <tsolox> EastDallas: how did it go?
[04:38] <scunizi_> tsolox: should be
[04:38] <goose> recommendations on a unix BNC?
[04:38] <{MHA}Demonic> well i can connect wirelessly when i boot from my cd
[04:38] <scunizi_> goose: what's a BNC?
[04:38] <kinja-sheep> tsolox: Yes. I favor clean installation over upgrades but you should make backups in case.
[04:39] <{MHA}Demonic> just not my hard drive
[04:39] <aliendude5300> whoever, setkbmap dvorak is working for me by the way...
[04:39] <phixxor> usr13, srry, see http://pastebin.com/m4e9f3535 now
[04:39] <whoever> aliendude5300:x
[04:39] <EastDallas> {MHA}Demonic: If you can connect hardwired temporarily it should find the wireless drivers and install them
[04:39] <IdleOne> goose: check out znc
[04:39] <goose> scunizi_: it's an IRC "virtual server", usualyl run from a shell. It keeps your nick connected full time, then you connect to the BNC and have scrollback history from when you were gone, etc
[04:39] <tsolox> is there not a working tomcat installer in ubuntu repo?
[04:39] <goose> IdleOne: thank you
[04:39] <{MHA}Demonic> well i tried to install two but they seem to stay at 0%
[04:39] <aliendude5300> whoever, I've been using just dvorak instead of dvorak-r if that makes a difference...
[04:39] <EastDallas> tsolox: it went fine.  I also upgraded two machines from 9.04 to 9.10 using upgrade as well
[04:40] <scunizi_> goose: I think you can do that with screen and irssi or weechat
[04:40] <goose> scunizi_: I do it with screened irssi, but for this scenario, I need a BNC
[04:40] <whoever> aliendude5300: it does, i have us wrking now ne4ed davorak-r
[04:41] <scunizi_> goose: k.. maybe the suggestioin from IdleOne will work for you. never heard of it.
[04:41] <whoever> aliendude5300: slightly different for rightr hand
[04:41] <jaem|away> morning
[04:42] <IdleOne> scunizi_: it is sorta like running a mini ircd that connects to freenode and then you connect your client to "your" server. when you disconnect your client the bnc keeps your nick online.
[04:42] <jaem|away> if I used the Ubuntu installer to encrypt my home directory (and set it to unlock on login), is removing the encryption as straightforward as just reformatting /home and fixing up fstab?
[04:42] <aliendude5300> whoever, maybe something like dvorak-right? Sorry, but I don't know what it would be called :/
[04:42] <goose> the sudoers file should always be located at "/etc/sudoers", right?
[04:42] <goose> (I can't find it there)
[04:42] <tsolox> how can we tell in commandline what ubuntu version we have?
[04:42] <jaem|away> goose, does visudo find it?
[04:42] <scunizi_> IdleOne: what's the benefit over screen and irssi?
[04:43] <goose> jaem|away: negative
[04:43] <w3asal> thanks for the help guys, turns out adding the mountpoint as "none" in /etc/fstab is what I was looking for
[04:43] <phixxor> yo what's up -- I'm trying to copy a file from an external hd to my desktop (using root nautillus) but I get an error saying I don't have permission. How can I bypass this error and copy files and folders?
[04:43] <IdleOne> scunizi_: you can also give accounts to other users to connect to the bnc
[04:43] <jaem|away> goose, that probably is not a good sign :S
[04:43] <scunizi_> IdleOne: and will they be using your nick or one they setup?
[04:43] <IdleOne> scunizi_: their own nick
[04:43] <jaem|away> phixxor, what is the error exactly?
[04:43] <goose> jaem|away: heh..that's what I thought :S It's a VPS, if that counts for anything... but I've always found it in /etc/sudoers
[04:43] <phixxor> jaem|away, just a second, I'll reproduce it
[04:44] <goose> what's the "find" command for a text file?
[04:44] <ilovealcoa> hello, is it socially acceptable to plead for help with certain problems with ubuntu?
[04:44] <scunizi_> IdleOne: and can the others talk within themselves through the bnc without bouncing to freenode or whereever?
[04:44] <jaem|away> goose, out of curiosity, which company is it with?
[04:44] <jtaji> phixxor: the desktop is a separate nautilus session running as your user.. navigate to your Desktop in the root nautilus window
[04:44] <goose> jaem|away: VPSVille (Canada)
[04:44] <IdleOne> scunizi_: yes ZNC has that feature, I guess most bnc's have it
[04:44] <phixxor> jtaji, aaaaah, thanks, I'll try
[04:44] <kinja-sheep> ilovealcoa: There are a new tread going on... Cyberbegging! You can beg but you're better off stating your problem and if anybody know, they'll respond. ;)
[04:45] <tsolox> how can we tell in commandline what ubuntu version we have?
[04:45] <maco> tsolox: lsb_release -a
[04:45] <jaem|away> goose, that's odd...  I know Linode (my host) does some funky things with the boot subsystem, but I can't see any reason to mess with sudoers
[04:45] <jaem|away> was it there before on this system?
[04:45] <ilovealcoa> thanks kinja
[04:45] <phixxor> jtaji, usr13, jaem|away Thanks! that works perfectly
[04:45] <StupidandUgly> go to system and click about ubuntu or something like that
[04:45] <tsolox> maco: thanks
[04:45] <goose> jaem|away: I just reimaged. it. I don't want to have to root every time I install a package, I'd rather sudo and lock out the root account
[04:45] <scunizi_> IdleOne: k.. guess I'm still missing the point of it other then a remote irc server that connects directly to an actual irc server..  I'll have to mull it over
[04:46] <aliendude5300> whoever, I looked it up for you. Try setxkbmap us dvorak-r
[04:46] <CaNoc> hello, which file system should I use to store large number of file, and how to tune it?
[04:46] <StupidandUgly> tsolox type in terminal cat /etc/lsb-release
[04:46] <IdleOne> scunizi_: basically let's say you wanted to give your customers a way of contacting you via irc you could setup the bnc to freenode and then have the bnc auto forward to #scunizi for example
[04:46] <StupidandUgly> tsolox nvm
[04:47] <scunizi_> IdleOne: so customers would connect to the bnc and it would relay to you nomatter what channel you're on?
[04:47] <ilovealcoa> ok, can anybody help?  problem: ubuntu claims that certain files it has created are > 100,000 GB, despite the fact that they are entirely contained on a partition that is less than 50 GB.  this evidently leads to problems when attempting to copy the files to another medium.  does anybody know some way to work around this?
[04:48] <jaem|away> ilovealcoa, are the files intact or important?  e.g. can you just blammo them and be done with it?
[04:48] <scunizi_> IdleOne: or #scunizi would be an inhouse bnc server hosted channel even though nick scunizi is also connected to other channels?
[04:48] <ilovealcoa> jaem: no, i wish.  i am actually attempting to back up an operating system, and these files are all contained in the /proc folder
[04:48] <IdleOne> scunizi_: not exactly. when they connect to the bnc they would be sent to #example. you would have to be in that #
[04:49] <HFSPLUS> How sexy my ride?
[04:49] <HFSPLUS> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrvC-lgTqhk
[04:49] <IdleOne> scunizi_: from what I understand bnc's were used back in the day when networks didn't use nickserv.
[04:49] <StupidandUgly> what packages can I remove that will make Xubuntu smaller but will not hinder its functionality for a novice user
[04:49] <scunizi_> IdleOne: and that's something you set within the bnc so when they connect they're routed directly to a specific channel you're monitoring?
[04:49] <cutegirl> hello evry body
[04:49] <StupidandUgly> Its just going to be used to play music and watch videos
[04:50] <IdleOne> scunizi_: and there is also the feature that when you reconnect your client you get a playback of what was said while you were gone.
[04:50] <IdleOne> scunizi_: yes the #example routing is set in the bnc
[04:50] <scunizi_> IdleOne: k.. starting to see the light :).. intersting..
[04:50] <plustax> okay. I need someone to walk me through an ubuntu partition dual boot installation on my vista desktop
[04:50] <plustax> anyone have the time?
[04:50] <cutegirl> im just use ubuntu who can teach me wat name program help me save all program working when i shutdown?
[04:51] <tsolox> plustax: where are you now?
[04:51] <plustax> tsolox I have the installation on a flash disk and am ready to install it.
[04:51] <plustax> But
[04:51] <Guest45296> i removed ubuntu software center from my favorites tab in ubuntu netbook remix, where do I find it to get ti back?
[04:51] <genoobie> okay
[04:51] <genoobie> I installed debian + LXDE
[04:51] <plustax> I dont know how to setup partitions and I'm really bad at this. I might need some vnc help once I get it on there.
[04:51] <jtaji> cutegirl: system > prefs > startu applications.. Options tab
[04:52] <genoobie> and it's screaming compared to xubuntu
[04:52] <genoobie> is there an ubuntu distro that is comparable to debian + LXDE
[04:52] <genoobie> it's superlight and fast
[04:52] <tsolox> plustax: can you boot into linux using that flash disk?
[04:52] <IdleOne> scunizi_: we used to use bnc back when on EFnet. they didn't have nickserv ( not sure they do now )
[04:52] <scunizi_> genoobie: you can install LXDE in ubuntu too
[04:52] <david___> nevermind
[04:52] <genoobie> I know, but the netinst of debian + LXDE wasn't too bad
[04:53] <genoobie> I imagine there is a netinst of ubuntu
[04:53] <genoobie> or xubuntu or whatever
[04:53] <cutegirl> ty jtaji
[04:53] <scunizi_> IdleOne: old school stuff. I like it.. I use to run a part time BBS on a 1200baud modem :)
[04:53] <genoobie> I really like the way it runs
[04:53] <genoobie> and aptitude is a nice pkg manager
[04:53] <Guest44588> hey guys, i'm new to ubuntu on a fresh install and was wondering if anyone could fill me in on display drivers and that
[04:53] <whoever> adminewb: it is setxkbmap us  and setxkbmap -varient dvorak-r
[04:53] <plustax> tsolox check pm
[04:53] <genoobie> which I know is in ubuntu too
[04:53] <scunizi_> Guest44588: what kind of card do you have in the machine?
[04:54] <genoobie> I just thought xubuntu would be fast, but it's not
[04:54] <IdleOne> scunizi_: you are old lol!
[04:54] <genoobie> yeah 1200baud :)
[04:54] <scunizi_> IdleOne: :)  will hit 50 in 3 mths
[04:54] <genoobie> I remember 150
[04:54] <genoobie> well here's my question
[04:54] <kinja-sheep> whoever: You're familiar with setxkbamp?
[04:54] <whoever> so can you help get it working  knowing that , but 2 c
[04:54] <Guest44588> i have no idea, i'm lost without dxdiag :P
[04:54] <whoever> a little
[04:54] <genoobie> I'm having a hell of a time with debian's kernel and my sound card
[04:55] <genoobie> I'm wondering if I'll fair any better with ubuntu
[04:55] <scunizi_> Guest44588: basics like ATI or Nvidia?
[04:55] <Guest44588> Nvidia
[04:55] <genoobie> any way to check?
[04:55] <Mike_lifeguard> What can I use to rip CDs?
[04:55] <kinja-sheep> whoever: Cool. I'm going to ask you if you know the answer to this --> 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.
[04:55] <genoobie> it's a laptop with cirrus sound
[04:55] <scunizi_> Guest44588: have you done all the initial updates the system usually prompts you to do right after an install?
[04:55] <aliendude5300> genoobie, if you're looking for lightweight ubuntu, try crunchbang. :)
[04:56] <whoever> aliendude5300: ITS 2 different commands well not realy
[04:56] <jaem|away> Mike_lifeguard, Sound Juicer, or whatever that GNOME app is called will do the trick
[04:56] <jaem|away> there's a KDE app too, but the name escapes me
[04:56] <genoobie> aliendude5300, is that comparable to debian + LXDE?
[04:56] <jaem|away> or, with KDE you can just do it through Dolphin with copy-and-paste
[04:56] <genoobie> well the only reason I would switch at this point is if the kernel had sound card support
[04:56] <aliendude5300> genoobie, I'm not sure, but I've gotten it to run on a Pentium 3 with 128MB ram... :)
[04:56] <Mike_lifeguard> jaem|away: thanks
[04:56] <Guest44588> yes i did scunizi_, but resolution is still at 640x480
[04:57] <genoobie> aliendude5300, run, or run well
[04:57] <genoobie> I mean this is running well
[04:57] <kinja-sheep> whoever: Be back in 15min. I'll check the messages and see if you know the workaround. The forums didn't say much about this.
[04:57] <genoobie> I can even play flash video fairly smoothly
[04:57] <genoobie> :)
[04:57] <ckane> where can i find libgtk-perl
[04:57] <aliendude5300> genoobie, what are your system specs?
[04:58] <genoobie> P3 800, 256MB
[04:58] <whoever> kinja-sheep: i don't theink it is fatle to x .. your question is answard
[04:58] <genoobie> like I said, I would keep what I have, but the soundcard is borked
[04:58] <timetroll> i installed chromium in ubuntu but cannot find it through a reboot and a relog???
[04:58] <scunizi_> Guest44588: k.. this is an easy one.. look in system>Admin>Hardware drivers and you'll probably see that there are a couple of nvidia driver available to "activate".. pick the recommended one typically the higher version number and activate.. it will download and install.. after that you'll have to reboot to activate it.
[04:58] <Guest44588> scunizi_: when i go to system>preferences>display it doesn't know what monitor i'm using - i have the hp install disk for my monitor and not sure how to install
[04:58] <genoobie> I dunno if the kernel that crunchbang has will work either
[04:58] <scunizi_> Guest44588: you won't need the monitor install disk at all.
[04:58] <timetroll> !chromium
[04:59] <Guest44588> ok thankyou scunizi_, i'll try it and come back to let you know what happened if it's fixed or not :P
[04:59] <scunizi_> Guest44588: k.. I'll be here for a while
[04:59] <jaem|away> out of curiosity, if one were to uninstall apt/dpkg, would that be salvageable, or would it wipe the local db?  I don't really feel like trying it to find out :P
[04:59] <aliendude5300> genoobie, give it a try... it ran pretty well actually, compared to Xubuntu which was REALLY slow. It uses OpenBox as the desktop environment.
[05:00] <ckane> where can i find libgtk-perl
[05:00] <genoobie> yeah, I'm going to try and build a custom kernel in debian
[05:00] <blakkheim> aliendude5300: openbox is not a desktop environment
[05:00] <genoobie> if I don't have any luck, I might be back
[05:00] <jaem|away> aliendude5300, LXDE?  Yeah, it's pretty nice
[05:00] <aliendude5300> blakkheim, err window manager
[05:01] <genoobie> LXDE rocks
[05:01] <genoobie> super fast
[05:01] <jaem|away> yeah, and reasonably featureful
[05:01] <genoobie> yeah, not too overloaded
[05:01] <genoobie> just right
[05:01] <jaem|away> and newbie-friendly config, which is more than you can say about most lightweight WMs/DEs
[05:01] <timetroll> I wonder why chromium doesn't show up in my menus?
[05:01] <jaem|away> :)
[05:01] <genoobie> yes, definitely
[05:01] <whoever> aliendude5300: ?
[05:02] <genoobie> bbl
[05:02] <ilovealcoa> i'm aware that this is not exactly the right forum, but does anybody here have any experience with the debian live cd?
[05:02] <aliendude5300> whoever, did the setxbmap us dvorak-r work for you?
[05:03] <Guest44588> scunizi_: i opened the drivers, theres only one listed and it has a green circle beside it
[05:04] <scunizi_> Guest44588: so.. was it already installed? or did you install it? or does it need to be activated?
[05:05] <whoever> aliendude5300: for us it works but for dvorak-r you need setxkbmap -varient dvorak-r
[05:05] <ckane> anybody know where i would get libgtk-perl?
[05:05] <Guest44588> not sure..it says driver is activated and currently in use, the only thing i updated was the initial update
[05:05] <stevendfgd> Does Firestarter protect ipv6 by default or only ipv4 like alot of fire walls?
[05:05] <scunizi_> Guest44588: and your resolution is still "low"?
[05:05] <aliendude5300> whoever, I got it to work for me just by typing "setxkbmap us dvorak-r".
[05:05] <ckane> http://deb.grml.org/pool/main/w/wellenreiter/
[05:05] <whoever> aliendude5300: and the varient option does not work fror us
[05:06] <ckane> i download this deb file and it is saying i need it
[05:06] <jaem|away> ckane, did you check the Ubuntu repos?
[05:06] <Guest44588> very low. it's weird right now though, it's showing 640x480 but theres more desktop than what shows on screen.. if i move mouse down, the screen moves, you know what i mean?
[05:06] <whoever> aliendude5300: but how did you toggle between the two
[05:06] <stevendfgd> Does Firestarter protect ipv6 by default or only ipv4 like alot of fire walls?
[05:06] <Crumbles> can someone walk me through updating ubuntu 9.10 to the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel ??  I can't get any mono programs to show fonts on the 2.9.0 version
[05:06] <jaem|away> IIRC, GDebi or whatever doesn't resolve dependencies
[05:06] <ckane> jaem|away, i tried apt-get install libgtk-perl
[05:07] <timetroll> i installed chromium in ubuntu but cannot find it through a reboot and a relog. any ideas why?
[05:07] <scunizi_> Guest44588: do "Alt+f2" and type nvidia-setting
[05:07] <jaem|away> ckane, sigh - give me a sec ;)
[05:07] <jaem|away> ckane, libgtk2-perl
[05:07] <ckane> ah
[05:07] <jaem|away> next time, use apt-cache search
[05:08] <ckane> thanks
[05:08] <ckane> will do
[05:08] <jaem|away> you're welcome.  I somehow missed the fact of that command's existence until after I stopped using Ubuntu and switched to Arch XD
[05:08] <effthis> if i suspend my netbook with unr via the menu i am prompted for a password when i resume.  when i suspend by closing the lid (confirmed via power mgmt) it doesn't prompt.  the prompt doesn't concern me, but i'm hemorrhaging battery life with a closed lid and i'm wondering if it's suspending at all.
[05:08] <aliendude5300> whoever, umm... setxbmap us to switch back. I think there is a way to set a keyboard shortcut to toggle, not sure...
[05:08] <ckane> what is arch xd
[05:08] <timetroll> guess ill take chromium off then
[05:09] <jaem|away> ckane, it's a lightweight, flexible, diy distro - the installer leaves you with a console and a package manager - you do the rest
[05:09] <whoever> aliendude5300: try 'setxkbmap dvorak-r'
[05:09] <ckane> based on ubuntu
[05:10] <jaem|away> people like it because it doesn't come with things they don't need, and because once you figure it out, it's easy to get around
[05:10] <jaem|away> ckane, noooo
[05:10] <jaem|away> not even close
[05:10] <Crumbles> is there a way I can get synaptic to show the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel version?
[05:10] <jaem|away> but I probably shouldn't try to convert users on #ubuntu :P
[05:10] <effthis> anyone aware of split password-on-resume behavior depending on the way suspend was initiated?
[05:10] <ckane> lol
[05:10] <jaem|away> ckane, if you have questions, PM me
[05:10] <jaem|away> or Google it
[05:11] <ckane> libgtk2-perl is already the newest version.
[05:11] <jaem|away> ckane, oh wait
[05:11] <ckane> wellenreiter: Depends: libgtk-perl but it is not installable
[05:11] <jaem|away> it needs GTK 1.x?!
[05:11] <zetheroo1> does anyone here have experience with getting the ralink rt3091 device working in Karmic?
[05:12] <angelus> effthis, yes, if you do $pmi action suspend, it wont ask you for a password
[05:12] <orman> how do you install a program from source when it does not have a configure file? I am installing the ati radeon fglrx driver
[05:12] <zetheroo1> I heard that Ralink were very Linux friendly .... but so far I am not experienced that
[05:12] <dios_mio> orman, so it doesnt have a configure.. what does it have? any .sh? any Makefile?
[05:12] <Crumbles> anyone?  pweese ?  :)  I can't get any stupid mono programs to work....
[05:13] <neezer> I have my /home on a separate partition, but I want to do a clean install with 9.1 instead of using 9.04.
[05:13] <angelus> effthis, i like to do $ pmi action suspend && gnome-screensaver-command --lock
[05:13] <neezer> What can I do to get rid of any files on /home that will be saved after the install.
[05:13] <effthis> split behavior confirmation is good for me, thx!
[05:13] <orman> dios_mio it has modules
[05:13] <orman> some .sh and .so files
[05:14] <neezer> Like all the config files, and I have some other stuff in /home/nathan as well.
[05:14] <zetheroo1> I have the rt3091 chipset but cannot get it to work in Karmic
[05:14] <dios_mio> orman, you need to run the .sh... it must be an install script
[05:14] <orman> ok thanks
[05:14] <dios_mio> orman, np
[05:15] <Hillshum> Are there any fancy things that can be done with lots of buttons on the mouse?
[05:15] <James_-_> you know why my Live Disk wouldn't work.... my dumb ass downloaded the wrong one... I don't even own a 64bit server....
[05:16] <James_-_> lol time for bed
[05:17] <angelus> Hillshum, yes, if you have the CompizConfig Settings Manager, for some actions, you can set Mouse buttons to be the trigger (although i dont like doing this), also, if you have a five button mouse, (none too sure on Ubuntu, but) you might be able to use the buttons on the side to go back/forward on any browser(file or internet), i THINK for the second one
[05:17] <yeason> Is it possible to adjust the amount of change in volume when using function keys on a keyboard?
[05:19] <Crumbles> anyone know how to update the xserver-xorg-video-intel ????
[05:19] <jtaji> Crumbles: what ubuntu you running?
[05:19] <Crumbles> 9.10
[05:20] <zetheroo1> ralink in Ubuntu anyone?
[05:20] <jtaji> Crumbles: ah ok.. 9.10 fixed my intel video issues
[05:20] <Go-er> hi all. I need an addressbook app that will inport VCF, CSV etc files. What is recommended and how to install it pls. Anyone familiar with GFA addressbook and how to install it? Thnx
[05:20] <Crumbles> I'm trying to get keepass to work with mono, but I have no text when I load programs.  Apparently 2.9.1 fixes the issue. 9.10 ships with 2.9.0
[05:22] <edbian> I'm using gimp 2.6, I remember in an older version of gnome there was a neat tool that would give you a dialog and ask for text.  It would take that text and render it with a nice glossy effect and block letters and things.  Where did that go??
[05:24] <whoever> aletheia8556: there is aw ay and i thaught it was setxkbdmap
[05:24] <aletheia8556> can anybody help me change the maximum screen resolution on xubuntu 9.10.  it doesn't even give 1024x768 in the display preference options.  i had fixed the problem in the past by editing the xor
[05:24] <aletheia8556> sorry xorg.conf file
[05:25] <scunizi_> edbian: look under filters.. it's probably inthere someplace
[05:26] <Guest44588> hey guys, i'm looking for someone who's familiar with the xrandr? aletheia8556>im having the same problem, but i have it set at 1024x768 now by editing the panning option in nvidia configuration, but i have a scrolling screen - theres more screen then what shows and when i move my mouse close to the bottom it scrolls
[05:26] <edbian> scunizi_, Thanks
[05:26] <Guest44588> i guess thats why it's called panning.. durr i r so smrt
[05:26] <webbb82> hey  i need a hand i am running windows and i went to install kubuntu on a dual boot setup  but after i did the partition part to split my hd in two the installer crashed leaving me with half a hard drive  and half unalocated space how do i get it back or del the patition and it will go back to my full hd???
[05:28] <Go-er> webbb82: I use Mint8 with virtualbox that has WinXP on it. Awesome and no glitches. Recommnend it
[05:28] <webbb82> ya i was able to install ubuntu onto my external hd wich is what i should have done in the first place but now im stuck with 250 gbs of unalocated disk space
[05:33] <Go-er> Whats a good standalone addressbook pls
[05:33] <ubuntu910> hi need help do u?
[05:34] <aletheia8556> yes
[05:34] <Hillshum> !best | Go-er
[05:34] <jaem|away> Go-er, Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[05:34] <ubuntu910> am having a trouble with wlan in my hp laptop
[05:34] <jaem|away> Hillshum, Go-er said "good", which would imply that they are looking for a recommendation
[05:35] <yeason> Does anyone know if it is possible to adjust the amount of change in volume when using function keys on a keyboard? Mine hops by about 15%, I'd like it to jump by 5% at most
[05:35] <aletheia8556> can anybody help me figure out my screen res problem?
[05:35] <jaem|away> Go-er, KAddressbook is my preference, but you should probably just install a few and see

[05:44] <Scunizi> Guest44588: it won't fix the problem.. unless your card is older and the installed drivers from ubuntu are newer and not designed for your card

[05:45] <Pxtl> Newb looking for some info.
[05:45] <Pxtl> I'm trying to get RapidSVN to play with Meld.
[05:45] <Guest44588> oh ok Scunizi.. i'm so lost i'm fresh on linux and i don't like it already :(
[05:45] <Scunizi> Guest44588: drivers look for a signal from the monitor to tell it what resolutions they are capable of.. if nothing is reported then it defaults at a low resolution.. you have to manually add the correct resolution to xrandr's system and then enable it..
[05:45] <krishmish> any one able to help me with user authentication in squid which allows user to change his passwd using a web browser...im using ncsa_auth
[05:45] <Tupac> mm alguien que hable español
[05:46] <Pxtl> Where is the actual executable for an app  usually installed in Linux?  /usr/bin?  /bin?
[05:46] <krishmish> anyone help me with installing chpasswd
[05:46] <i_is_broke> Tupac, !es
[05:46] <Scunizi> Guest44588: you're only lost because it's *different*.. it'd be the same on a Mac.. there is a learning curve.. once you get the hang of it.. it's much more fun
[05:46] <Binny> user appn in /usr/bin sys apps in bin
[05:46] <i_is_broke> oops backwards.
[05:46] <i_is_broke> !es | Tupac
[05:46] <Pxtl> @Binny, thanks... I can't find where Meld is though.
[05:46] <Binny> yeah scuzinzi is right
[05:46] <Guest44588> Scunizi: so true... when i started on Mac it sucked until i knew it.. i'll keep trying thanks for advice
[05:47] <Binny> Meld?
[05:47] <Pxtl> @Binny, never mind - you're quite right, it was in /usr/bin.  Don't know how I missed it before.  Meld, as in the merge tool.
[05:47] <aletheia8556> does anybody know how i can get into the xorg.conf file in ubuntu 9.10

[05:48] <Scunizi> Guest44588: newer equipment doesn't have some of these hurdles you're experiencing..
[05:48] <Pxtl> Binny, yeah - just trying to hook it up to rapidsvn.

[05:56] <Pxtl> Yay omen_20 for the info.
[05:56] <Pxtl> Really, learning all the locations is my current challenge in Linux.

[05:57] <aletheia8556> will restarting help?  i just installed a fresh copy of xubuntu 9.10 tonight so i don' t know why it would need restarted
[05:57] <kinja-sheep> Guest44588: Probably because you're using VGA cable instead of DVI cable.
[05:57] <Pxtl> A nice idiot-friendly map of usr, etc, bin, whatever would be a good feature for the filebrowser.
[05:58] <btap0644> hey can someone help to load a theme in ubuntu
[05:58] <yeason> Does anyone know if I can edit predefined actions for keyboard shortcuts?
[05:58] <plustax> alright so I need some help installing ubuntu as a dual boot on my windows desktop. can someone help me in pm?
[05:58] <btap0644> sorry
[05:58] <airtonix> !info baobab | Pxtl
[05:58] <wowoto-> yeason: yes  you can
[05:58] <kinja-sheep> Pxtl: http://tinyurl.com/qg7kdq
[05:59] <Binny> go to gnome look .org and cj\hoose a theme
[05:59] <Pxtl> thanks!
[05:59] <yeason> wowoto-: how exactly...? I can't seem to find where to do it
[05:59] <Scunizi> kinja-sheep: he's got an old monitor only capable of 1024x768 and is not reporting the capable resolutions to the computer/driver.. xrandr doesn't have that rez listed
[05:59] <plustax> I need someone who can most likely help me in vnc
[05:59] <plustax> Because I am a ruh tard.
[06:00] <wowoto-> system--keboard-shortcut--
[06:00] <btap0644> kinja-sheep : thanks for the link
[06:00] <kinja-sheep> btap0644: Sure thing.
[06:01] <wowoto-> yeason: system --- keboard shortcut.
[06:01] <yeason> wowoto-: All it lets me do is change the key a particular action is bound to, I'd like to actually look at/alter the action being performed.
[06:02] <kinja-sheep> Guest44588: You might want to try and add this under Section "Monitor" in Xorg --> HorizSync 30-70 (new line) VertRefresh 43-60.
[06:02] <aletheia8556> scunizi i did what you said and it didn't work
[06:03] <plustax> alright so I need some help installing ubuntu as a dual boot on my windows desktop. can someone help me in pm?
[06:03] <kinja-sheep> !dualboot > plustax
[06:03] <kinja-sheep> That way, he get a PM from ubottu :)
[06:03] <btap0644> plustax: do you mean you want to run ubuntu and windows side by side
[06:04] <btap0644> plustax : as in simultaneously
[06:04] <plustax> Okay, now take a bag of potatoes kinja-sheep. Now take a second and compare it to my intellect. You will find that the bag of potatoes is more intelligent and also is better at following directions. I'm gonna need some hands on attention.
[06:04] <octavio> hi there ppl
[06:04] <plustax> btap0644 yes sir.
[06:05] <octavio> any one know if there is a log file for vino(vnc-server)
[06:05] <wowoto-> yeason: you mean that you want to add shortcut by yourself , you can "add" it ~
[06:05] <btap0644> plustax : well can I give you a website link that will guide you every step of the way with pictures
[06:05] <aletheia8556> how can i manually enter in the values for my monitor in ubuntu 9.10
[06:06] <plustax> btap0644 think you can vnc into my box and put the iso onto my usb thumb drive correctly so I can boot with it in my other machine?
[06:06] <yeason> wowoto-: I want to actually change the built in actions, or at least see what a couple of them are doing to see if I can adjust them to work better
[06:06] <octavio> halo, any one knows if there is a log file for vino(vnc-server), if there is, where can I find it?
[06:06] <plustax> Im only doing it because my desktop that I want to put the ubuentu on the dvd/cd rom isnt working
[06:06] <kinja-sheep> aletheia8556: In /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:07] <btap0644> plustax : alright you got msn ?
[06:07] <Ademan> if I have two revisions in my svn repository A and B, where B is newer than A, and I want to create a revision C which is identical to A, so that the history is A B C, how can I do that? ideally without copying A, just making a reference... ( #svn is dead )
[06:07] <The_shark_001> I have a amd64 bit CPU.  How do i tell if i am running ubuntu 64bit at the command prompt?
[06:07] <baonus> Ademan: switch to another dir
[06:08] <yeason> The_shark_001: uname -a
[06:08] <octavio> The_shark_001 uname -a
[06:08] <Ademan> baonus: ?
[06:08] <kinja-sheep> octavio: The logs are often kept at /var/log -- But not everything. Also, you might get lucky with "sudo updatedb ; locate vino | grep log"
[06:08] <baonus> use switch command
[06:08] <wowoto-> yeason: you can change the defined keys after you click the boundkeys
[06:08] <kinja-sheep> octavio: "sudo updatedb && locate vino | grep log" <--- This one.
[06:09] <Ademan> baonus: ah, so switch to A, commit, making C?
[06:09] <octavio> well I already looked in there /var/log/... but I couldn't find anything about vino or vnc
[06:09] <yeason> wowoto-: I don't want to change the keybinding... I want to change the function that keybinding calls... and I'm not seeing a way to do this
[06:09] <baonus> go in A dir, do a switch to a C dir
[06:09] <octavio> so I was hoping it was somewhere else :s
[06:09] <baonus> then commit
[06:09] <baonus> it'll make only a logical copy not a literal one...
[06:09] <baonus> so it wont use double space in the db
[06:10] <baonus> just... on your working copy, heh.
[06:10] <wowoto-> yeason: edit ~/.gconf/xxx
[06:10] <Ademan> hah, well that's far better, that's what i was looking to do
[06:10] <kinja-sheep> octavio: Check vino --help or man vino. It could be published.
[06:10] <octavio> ok, thanks let me check that
[06:12] <baonus> Ademan: switch is pretty nice. it's how you can make tags also. For instance, for a release version you can do a switch from one of your branches to repo/tags/version-1.0-release
[06:12] <yeason> wowoto-: I've poked around gconf-editor but couldn't find them... do you have any idea of what folder the keyboard shortcut actions are in?
[06:12] <kinja-sheep> yeason: What shortcut actions?
[06:12] <visitor1> hi
[06:12] <baonus> yeason: you in gnome?
[06:12] <baonus> whoa, look at the questions fly. hehe
[06:12] <yeason> baonus: yea
[06:12] <zetheroo1> ralink in Ubuntu anyone?
[06:13] <baonus> we'll you have to actually create custom commands and then create a custom key that activates that command. the keys are in hex
[06:13] <yeason> kinja-sheep: I'd like to see if I can edit the volume change. It jumps randomly and I'd like to fine tune it
[06:13] <hiatus> Hey, what's the ubuntu off topics chanel name?
[06:13] <Ademan> baonus: yeah i'm looking at svn help right now ;-) i gotta go but thanks for the help, i may be back
[06:13] <kinja-sheep> !ot | hiatus
[06:13] <hqdat> how suport gprs
[06:13] <baonus> its kind of a pain, but there is a python script that you can use..
[06:14] <baonus> lemme look up the package so you can just apt-get it
[06:14] <hqdat> how suport gprs  modem
[06:14] <visitor1> i have a directory with many different split files, aaa.avi.001 aaa.avi.002,bbb.avi.001,bbb.avi.002, how can i join them all with lxsplit? lxsplit -j *.001 doesnt do the trick
[06:14] <digitalaxis> Hello
[06:14] <baonus> hey digi
[06:14] <DaZ> visitor1: cat?
[06:14] <Scunizi> cat is for text files
[06:14] <digitalaxis> Can someone who is good with linux please tell me why the command given here to get winetricks doesnt work? http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17908
[06:14] <DaZ> Scunizi: bs.
[06:15] <DaZ> if you don't know how to use it, then it's for text files [;
[06:15] <Scunizi> DaZ: oh?..k.. but will it cat avi files?
[06:15] <iKernel> digitalaxis, don't know without seeing what error you got.
[06:15] <DaZ> Scunizi: cat aaa.* > something.avi
[06:15] <Scunizi> visitor1: there you go.. DaZ has the answer .. look above
[06:15] <wowoto-> yeason: ~/.gconf/schemas/desktop/gnome/keybindings  is it?
[06:15] <visitor1> DaZ: but i want to join them all without typing every name for the finished file?
[06:16] <digitalaxis> iKernel, Who said anything about an error? i just cant get the install to start and this page says i need that winetricks package to get the CA Installer to work
[06:16] <iKernel> digitalaxis, try using wine version 1.1.29
[06:16] <LinUx> When I "right-click" my desktop, nothing happens? Anyone know how to get it back please?
[06:17] <DaZ> visitor1: * ? [;
[06:17] <digitalaxis> iKernel, I think thats what i have, how can i tell
[06:17] <yeason> wowoto-: there are keybindings there but not all of them... thanks anyway. I'll keep looking or perhaps someone else will know
[06:17] <iKernel> digitalaxis, wine --version
[06:17] <kinja-sheep> LinUx: ALT+F2 --> nautilus
[06:17] <DaZ> i don't know what the result will be with different videos tho.
[06:17] <iKernel> digitalaxis, also try asking in #winehq
[06:18] <DaZ> which as i understand you're trying to do :f
[06:18] <digitalaxis> iKernel, ah your right i have an older version, is there a way to upgrade or do i have to re-install
[06:18] <baonus> yeason: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyTouch
[06:18] <kinzy> When following the instructions on http://www.palmix.org/r5u870-en.html to get my webcam to work, its telling me to tar a file but when I run in terminal I get: tar: r5u870-0.11.2: Cannot open: No such file or directory
[06:19] <iKernel> digitalaxis, installing the new version from scratch IS upgrading in the linux world :)
[06:19] <LinUx> I dont have a problem accessing my folders, just my right click context menu on the desktop
[06:19] <The_shark_001> I had to reboot the system.  it's been about 5min and didn't turn off.  should i pull the power?
[06:19] <wowoto-> baonus: thx
[06:19] <baonus> oh, maybe wrong guy. =P sorry
[06:19] <digitalaxis> iKernel, I know, what i am meaning to ask is do i need to uninstall my current
[06:19] <yeason> baonus: thanks... that just might work =)
[06:19] <baonus> wowoto-: also, gnome-keybinding-properties
[06:19] <LinUx> kinja-sheep,  I dont have a problem accessing my folders, just my right click context menu on the desktop
[06:20] <iKernel> digitalaxis, which one is your current?
[06:20] <baonus> but i cant remember the actual package
[06:20] <digitalaxis> iKernel, 1.0.1
[06:20] <wowoto-> baonus: thank u.
[06:20] <baonus> i think its gnome-control-center..... maybe
[06:20] <visitor1> DaZ: yes, i dont want to type for every file the name, lxsplit works alright with just one file but i cant tell it to processs all *.001 files
[06:20] <iKernel> digitalaxis, and yes, you probably will have to. but you can keep most of the stuff in .wine
[06:20] <baonus> but that might install a bunch of crazy other stuff
[06:20] <iKernel> digitalaxis, back up ~/.wine and reinstall. you'll probably have to compile from source
[06:21] <DaZ> iKernel: doesn't winehq provide ubuntu repository?
[06:21] <LinUx> Its ok now! I fixed it myself!
[06:21] <kinzy> When following the instructions on http://www.palmix.org/r5u870-en.html to get my webcam to work, its telling me to tar a file but when I run in terminal I get: tar: r5u870-0.11.2: Cannot read: Is a directory
[06:21] <kinzy>  
[06:21] <FloodBot4> kinzy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:22] <iKernel> DaZ, yes, but I don't know if they compile and distribute binaries from the development version of wine
[06:22] <digitalaxis> iKernel, i cant find a damn download for the latest beta version lol
[06:22] <iKernel> digitalaxis, have to compile it from source
[06:22] <maverick> a little off-topic here,  how can i restore the original linux mint login screen which has changed into the ubuntu one after an update?
[06:22] <Oyoz> is there OpenOffice.org Access???
[06:22] <iKernel> Oyoz, open office org db
[06:22] <digitalaxis> iKernel, Where do i get the source
[06:23] <baonus> kinzy: you gotta specify the tarball name first
[06:23] <iKernel> digitalaxis, from the winehq website
[06:23] <digitalaxis> iKernel, nvm found it
[06:23] <iKernel> ok
[06:23] <baonus> kinzy: tar -f mytarball.tar r5u870....whateva
[06:23] <iKernel> digitalaxis, also install build-essential from ubuntu repos
[06:23] <Oyoz> where can i download it???
[06:23] <iKernel> Oyoz, comes with open office org
[06:24] <baonus> kinzy: OR....    tar -jf mytarball.tar.bz r5u870...whateva
[06:24] <magic_ninja> whats the command to mount an iso
[06:24] <magic_ninja> mount -loop -t iso9660 ?
[06:24] <baonus> almost
[06:24] <Oyoz> well,i cant see it
[06:24] <kinzy> tar: You must specify one of the `-Acdtrux' options
[06:24] <Oyoz> :~
[06:25] <baonus> magic_ninja: mount -o loop myfile.iso /media/mountDir
[06:25] <digitalaxis> magic_ninja, sudo mount -o loop /directory/of/file/etc.is /mnt
[06:25] <baonus> ooh digi's right

[06:29] <silare> Hi hi, all. Is there a way to get it so Firefox and Thunderbird have the old GNOME Colors icons (before they were removed from the GNOME Colors set)?
[06:29] <EastDallas> silare: have you checked the firefox themes? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:2
[06:31] <EastDallas> silare: there's one called 'gnome classic'...don't know if that's what you're looking for.  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6881
[06:31] <silare> EastDallas: It's not a theme. Have you ever used the GNOME Colors iconset? I'm trying to find the old icons for those.
[06:31] <Hilikus> how do i redirect stdout and stderr to a env variable in a bash script?
[06:31] <EastDallas> silare: the FF themes do change the icons s well
[06:31] <silare> EastDallas: I mean the FX and TB icons themselves. Not the toolbar icons.
[06:32] <EastDallas> silare:  ohhh...desktop icons, not toolbar got it
[06:32] <silare> Yep.
[06:32] <silare> Any idea on those?

[06:32] <The_shark_001> (EE) failed to load module “nvidia” ( module does not exist, 0) EE no drivers available
[06:32] <silare> The_shark_001: Try downloading envyng. It should be able to help with that.
[06:32] <DaZ> Hilikus: $? stores last stdout iirc
[06:33] <hearit> hello, where is the irc channel for electronics?
[06:33] <The_shark_001> envyng how?
[06:33] <EastDallas> silare: have you looked at gnome-look.org?
[06:33] <The_shark_001> i'm at the linux prompt.
[06:33] <Hilikus> DaZ: no, $? store the return of the last command
[06:33] <hearit> i want to build my onw laser machine to clean my tattoos
[06:33] <DaZ> or was it only exit code :
[06:33] <DaZ> meh, I don't use bash too much [;
[06:34] <DaZ> ask bash people
[06:34] <silare> EastDallas: The GNOME Colors iconsets there are updated... I"m looking for an old one. :/
[06:35] <DaZ> The_shark_001: how did you install the driver?
[06:35] <btap0644> I am so confused, I have been using linux distros for about a week now and for everything like graphics, networks, certain software we must like activate them
[06:35] <EastDallas> The_shark_001: type this:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:36] <baonus> did i hear bash?
[06:36] <DaZ> you did.
[06:36] <DaZ> btap0644: activate? >:
[06:36] <baonus> hearit: if you find one, lemme know
[06:36] <baonus> hearit: =)
[06:37] <The_shark_001> okay
[06:38] <SirCharles> idk if this is the place to pose the question but which do you all prefer for lightweight window managers, wmii, openbox or awesome
 i'm back at the Linux prompt.
[06:39] <DaZ> SirCharles: awesome is awesome.
[06:39] <magic_ninja> does the ubuntu 9.10 live iso come with grub2 already isntalled?
[06:40] <DaZ> the lightest thing i've ever used was enlightenment [;
[06:40] <DaZ> magic_ninja: yes.
[06:40] <magic_ninja> or would i have to enable repos + install grub2 to install it
[06:40] <magic_ninja> cool
[06:40] <magic_ninja> almost done with my howto
[06:40] <EastDallas>  Did you execute the command? The_shark_001:
[06:40] <The_shark_001> yea and entered in the password as well
[06:40] <SirCharles> I really like awesome, but it seems to have a more complicated configuration, and it has some weird graphic glitches on my system, openbox seems to be lagging up when I run mpg123, and in wmii I can't figure out how to switch tags with the arrow keys
[06:41] <SirCharles> anyone figured out a way to switch tags with arrow keys in WMii it would make my life wonderful
[06:42] <EastDallas> try rebooting and see if you can get to the gui now.The_shark_001:
[06:42] <DaZ> The_shark_001: or just use startx [;
[06:43] <bert0> Can someone please help me describe a problem I am having with playing videos and viewing flash? I took a picture of what I am experiencing.  http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/bP6j_9pT2KbNuT8LJoOygQ?authkey=Gv1sRgCKDWtePindy90gE&feat=directlink
[06:43] <The_shark_001> It looks like i need to download a video driver.  I did a startx and still have the nvidia module does not exist
[06:43] <DaZ> The_shark_001: i think you've installed drivers manually and the kernel update broke your drivers.
[06:44] <The_shark_001> daz it's a bug
[06:44] <DaZ> The_shark_001: no wai.
[06:45] <The_shark_001> dude here's the web page http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=420177
[06:45] <EastDallas> The_shark_001: did you reboot?
[06:45] <baonus> bert0: holy crap, that is awesome
[06:45] <superpaco> hello I cannot remove VMware player from my ubuntu 9.10
[06:45] <superpaco> can any one know how
[06:45] <The_shark_001> East let me try that.
[06:45] <DaZ> Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2007
[06:46] <superpaco> complete remove VMware player
[06:46] <bert0> it is, but it makes it very difficult to watch hulu
[06:46] <superpaco> hello I cannot remove VMware player from my ubuntu 9.10
[06:46] <DaZ> The_shark_001: i'm speechles :3
[06:46] <DaZ> superpaco: why?
[06:47] <The_shark_001> last time i rebooted i had to pull the power after 5 min.
[06:47] <bert0> It reminds me of NES when the cartridge gets dusty
[06:47] <maverick> is it possible to change from linux mint to ubuntu-desktop without reinstalling and stuff?
[06:47] <kinja-sheep> DaZ: It is obvious that the VMware player have overpowered the user.
[06:47] <DaZ> :3
[06:47] <superpaco> so file disappear and I cannot connect on internet the virtual boxes DaZ
[06:47] <superpaco> DaZ, so I want to remove all and the reinstall so I can connect
[06:48] <DaZ> kinja-sheep: what isn't obvious is whether he used package or binary from vmware website [;
[06:48] <The_shark_001> hay east did you see the link about the bug?
[06:49] <DaZ> superpaco: lolwut?
[06:49] <superpaco> hello I cannot remove VMware player from my ubuntu 9.10
[06:49] <kinja-sheep> maverick: It is a derivative. It is not possible unless the author of Mint explicitly explained what changes were made. Make a backup. Grab the *buntu iso.
[06:49] <superpaco> DaZ, what?
[06:49] <Vratha> hi all!
[06:49] <maverick> kinja-sheep: thanks :)
[06:49] <blondie> heyy
[06:49] <MaxHR> Hello, looking to install ubuntu on an old imac ppc, 500mhz machine, any recommendations for what desktop to use?  this is for a user that will just be doing internet and word processing
[06:49] <hearit> baonus, #electronis
[06:50] <hearit> baonus, #electronics
[06:50] <Vratha> so, i was trying to install from the graphical installer the other night and was dismayed by both ubuntu and kubuntu when they froze at various stages.  kubuntu kept restarting X when the hadr drive icon appeared on the splash screen
[06:50] <superpaco> hello I cannot remove VMware player from my ubuntu 9.10....Can any one help me
[06:50] <ardchoille> !repeat | superpaco
[06:50] <Vratha> and ubuntu froze after a 5% install
[06:50] <baonus> hearit: sweet. thans
[06:50] <Vratha> so, i am wondering, is the "alternate installer" the text-based installer?
[06:50] <Vratha> i was a little sad the main installer disc didn't have a text-based option that i could see
[06:50] <ardchoille> MaxHR: PErhaps look into xubuntu
[06:50] <superpaco> hey that help
[06:50] <firekool> Hi I have a newly installed ubuntu system that keeps on dropping the network connection. I do have samba installed. Restarting the network init.d does not seam to help.
[06:50] <superpaco> thanks
[06:50] <DaZ> Vratha: it is.
[06:50] <Vratha> DaZ: excellent
[06:51] <blondie> hey everyone.
[06:51] <gotsanity> I am using a fresh install of karmic and my wireless is connecting and then disconnecting in about 10 mins. After it disconnects it will not reconnect short of a reboot. I am using an atheros ar928x chipset. Anyone have any idea?
[06:52] <micr0x> hey folks
[06:52] <angelus> MaxHR, a) what are your specs ... b) have you tried Wubi ... c) did you check the md5sum of the .isos before burning (although seems unlikely that you would get 2 faulty .isos)
[06:52] <kinja-sheep> gotsanity: Install the backport modules.
[06:52] <psycho_oreos> gotsanity, I suspect its a driver issue, maybe there might be information in dmesg
[06:52] <micr0x> my ubuntu 9.10's resolution is low, everything looks huge in there, anyway around that?
[06:53] <DaZ> micr0x: changing the resolution?
[06:53] <gotsanity> kinja: i thought i did. i found a forum post suggesting that but its still behaving the same way
[06:53] <cjae> ok since kgpg is part of kdeutils, I think, how would I go about getting a newer version to try since my installed is broken
[06:53] <kinja-sheep> gotsanity: gotsanity: "aptitude search linux-backports-modules-karmic" -- It shows an "i" ?
[06:53] <micr0x> DaZ: there's no option under display!
[06:53] <angelus> micr0x, System > Preferences > Display (did you try??)
[06:53] <angelus> >.> ... sorry
[06:54] <DaZ> meh :3
[06:54] <EastDallas> MaxHR: Have you tried booting to a liveCD?  Ubuntu uses gnome by default.
[06:54] <MaxHR> ardchoille: ok, what about moblin desktop?  looks like a nice simple interface, good for a newbie, would that be light on resources also
[06:54] <maverick> micr0x: then try checking your display driver..
[06:54] <gotsanity> kinja: yes
[06:54] <ardchoille> MaxHR: I've never used or seen moblin
[06:54] <The_shark_001> pulling the fucking power
[06:54] <kinja-sheep> gotsanity: I see. Have you reboot yet since you installed the backport kernel?
[06:54] <micr0x> !language
[06:54] <ardchoille> !language | The_shark_001
[06:54] <angelus> !language > The_shark_001
[06:54] <gotsanity> kinja: yes, several times
[06:55] <MaxHR> EastDallas: I haven't tried the live cd yet, this is my 80 yo Gmothers computer, I am recommending this option to my cousin who lives in the area, as a way to get the machine up to date
[06:55] <MaxHR> live cd is a good idea
[06:55] <kinja-sheep> gotsanity: What make/model?
[06:56] <EastDallas> I needed 1 point to get 150 for all pro center, and could
[06:56] <bert0> I googled "Awesome" but no helpful results came up.  Anyone else care to help me describe what's going on with my flash content?  It also does this when asking me for administrative access.
[06:56] <The_shark_001> never thought ubuntu will crash your system
[06:57] <The_shark_001> had alot of data in there
[06:57] <brutus> how do I open tabs in an ssh session without having to login again?
[06:57] <EastDallas> MaxHR  you could start with Xubuntu, and see how that works, then you could install the ubuntu-desktop package and see if you can start a gnome session and how it runs.  If it's lousy, you could just continue using xfce
[06:57] <gotsanity> kinja: HP pavilion dm3-1039wm notebook the card comes up with (via lspci) 08:.00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9289X Wireless Network Adapter (PCIExpress) (rev 01)
[06:57] <The_shark_001> linux really sucks
[06:57] <DaZ> The_shark_001 really sucks.
[06:58] <ardchoille> !ot
[06:58] <DaZ> ubottu sucks too :3
[06:58] <kinja-sheep> gotsanity: Type kin<tab> to autocomplete. Highlighted messages are easier to read. Thanks. :o
[06:58] <bert0> objective statements suck
[06:59] <gotsanity> kinja-sheep, kk, been a while since i last used xchat :)
[07:00] <MaxHR> EastDallas: where do I find a ppc iso for xubuntu, all I find is the standard gnome one
[07:00] <The_shark_001> All my data is gone
[07:01] <kinja-sheep> gotsanity: The backports usually would sovle your issue. I had somebody here last night with same card as your and it solved his issue. Not sure why it does not do the same for you.
[07:01] <kinja-sheep> gotsanity: I see "linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic" in the repo too. Perhaps you would want to give it a try?
[07:02] <The_shark_001> what a joke can't even log out since no icons.  what a joke
[07:02] <gotsanity> kinja-sheep, I am slightly confused as to what the backports does. im assuming it installs some kernel modules that will solve the issue. Now when i rebooted im just selecting the default kernel. should i be looking for another one?
[07:03] <EastDallas> maxhr: cdimage.ubuntu.com...but let my find you a direct link...just a sec
[07:03] <angelus> The_shark_001, try http://ningning.org/blog2/2007/06/18/solution-to-the-problem-of-lastest-debian-update-collapsing-xserver-with-the-nvidia-kernel-module (got this from the bug-report you linked to)
[07:03] <magic_ninja> need a grub2 install command
[07:03] <magic_ninja> its like sudo grub-install --root-directory /media/boot
[07:03] <The_shark_001> i can't do anything like that i don't have a menu anymore.
[07:03] <magic_ninja> can't remember the exact command
[07:03] <kinja-sheep> gotsanity: No. It should be fine. If you want to make sure, you can hold SHIFT at GRUB2 boot. Also, backports is for patches made to the modules after the release date.  Kernel is the heart of the *nix. :)
[07:04] <Guest95534> Can someone help me with a wine issue?
[07:04] <cjae> so I am running kde 4.3.2 and installed kgpg and it doesnt seem to work with this bug http://www.mail-archive.com/kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg26884.html  How would I go about installing a newer or older version  of kgpg since it is part of kde-utils, would  I have to enable the ppa for kde 4.4?
[07:04] <EastDallas> MaxHR: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/ports/releases/karmic/release/
[07:04] <magic_ninja> Guest95534, #wine
[07:04] <EastDallas> MaxHR: First link on the page
[07:05] <gotsanity> kinja-sheep, k, im doing a reboot on the notebook now (im on a different machine) so I will see what it shows
[07:05] <cjae> I am looking here since someone told me to look there yesterday but cant seem to find answer https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-members-kde4/+archive/ppa
[07:06] <bert0> Beating my computer without mercy seems to not be working.
[07:06] <MaxHR> EastDallas: righton, thx, I will try the x86 cd on my own desktop... runs win2k now
[07:07] <EastDallas> MaxHR: After you install Xubuntu you can install the standard gnome desktop by installing the package called ubuntu-desktop.  You can choose xfce or gnome when you log in.
[07:07] <The_shark_001> i was reading that and there are no directions to install any of that from the prompt.  I been working on computers for over 15 years so I guest it makes me dumb.
[07:07] <ardchoille> cjae: you reallyneed to be in #kubuntu to get advice on kubuntu
[07:07] <magic_ninja> The_shark_001, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[07:07] <Maletor> Note to self - do not update to RC1 of any kernel from here on out
[07:08] <Maletor> I just updated my kernel to 2.6.33 in hopes of getting sensors-detect to recognize my Phenom and it went ahead and literally broke everything.
[07:11] <magic_ninja> can i get the basic command to install grub2 to another disk
[07:11] <Maletor> installo grubo
[07:11] <magic_ninja> it was like sudo grub-install --root-directory=<rootdir>
[07:12] <The_shark_001> how do you logout of ubuntu without any buttons?
[07:12] <Guest57535>  hello, I have deleted the files in /home/.ecryptfs/baris/.ecryptfs can I recreate them? I still know my passwords... please help!
[07:12] <nomad77> !grub | magic_ninja
[07:12] <gotsanity> kinja-sheep, it seems to be working now, thanks for the help. im still not quite sure whats goin on but it hasnt dropped on me yet
[07:13] <\vish> hi... i installed bitstream vera fonts which i downloaded. [installed via the install font in the font viewer]... now the problem is that it somehow changed my monospace fonts which have all become italics :/  how do i remove the bitstream fonts? where do they get installed?
[07:13] <senx> while internetbaking with epiphany or ffox @ubuntu, experienced any inconveniency? i wonder?
[07:13] <Maletor> How do I revert my kernel?
[07:13] <DaZ> \vish: ~/.fonts imo
[07:14] <magic_ninja> nomad77, that is useless to me
[07:14] <\vish> DaZ: it wasnt there :(
[07:14] <reeniginEesreveR> i compiled ffmpeg myself and now Im getting a "loading shared file" error for no good reason. How do i detect the core problem?
[07:14] <nomad77> !grub2 > magic_ninja
[07:14] <kinja-sheep> gotsanity: That is strange. I didn't think it'll work but we shall see.
[07:14] <DaZ> \vish: /usr/share/fonts/ ?
[07:15] <angelus> The_shark_001, try gnome-session-save --logout
[07:15] <magic_ninja> nomad77, both those docs are useless as this is independently installing grub from an Ubuntu LIVE session
[07:15] <nomad77> oh sorry
[07:15] <DaZ> angelus: iirc he doesn't have a xorg running
[07:16] <magic_ninja> nomad77, i need that info for a howto i'm writing on how to use an external hard drive + grub2 as mutliOS installer (i have already done it :-) just can't remember the commands)
[07:17] <\vish> DaZ: oops , i was blind :/ it was in my ~/.fonts itself :)
[07:17] <\vish> DaZ: i was looking for bitstream , instead it was named vera ... doh!
[07:18] <nomad77> magic_ninja: if grub would be grub-install /dev/sdx(orhdx) --root-dir=where boot/grub/menu.lst is or grub in xterm root (hdx,y) setup hdxy/sdxy
[07:18] <reeniginEesreveR> i compiled ffmpeg using the HOWTO: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6963607&postcount=360 ... now when i run it i get this error: "ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libtheoraenc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[07:18] <magic_ninja> nomad77, got it its sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/boot1 <your device id here>
[07:18] <Vratha> i just want to say that debian on the sheevaplug is awesome
[07:19] <Vratha> ubuntu would be as well; i just happened to go with debian.  just saying the sheevaplug itself is sweet :)
[07:19] <magic_ninja> nomad77, keep in mind this is grub2 and if you have to manually create your grub.cfg this way as well
[07:19] <wgrant> Vratha: Note that Ubuntu 9.10 and later will not run on such devices.
[07:19] <magic_ninja> nomad77, using grub-install with this method could make your hard disk unbootable from the menu
[07:19] <Vratha> wgrant: what?  why?
[07:20] <Vratha> wgrant: is that ARM chip too old?
[07:20] <nomad77> magic_ninja:  noted,thanks i haven't used grub2 yet. sorry for prev grub-legacy spam
[07:20] <wgrant> Vratha: The chip that it and other devices like the OpenRD use is only ARMv5, while Ubuntu 9.10 is built for ARMv6, and Ubuntu 10.04 for ARMv7+otherstuff
[07:20] <magic_ninja> nomad77, np, would you like to see what i have so far?
[07:20] <Vratha> oh, that's why i didn't try ubuntu then.  i did read about that
[07:20] <nomad77> sure
[07:20] <hellyes> somehow, messing with compizConfig settings I managed to lose my ability to use my mouse wheel to change workspaces.  Does anyone know how to get that back?
[07:21] <Vratha> wgrant: hmm, interesting move for ubuntu.  i know ARMv5 is old, but the sheevaplug is a new device with it
[07:21] <wgrant> Vratha: Rather disappointing, but who needs an Ubuntu release that runs on hardware that is actually publicly available...
[07:21] <Vratha> oh well, there's debian i guess
[07:21] <wgrant> Vratha: Yeah, I run Debian on mine.
[07:22] <magic_ninja> nomad77, http://pastebin.com/d9d8da23
[07:22] <rww> wgrant, Vratha: I happen to be getting one in the mail tomorrow, actually. Anything I should know about for installing Debian on it, or is it painless?
[07:22] <Vratha> considering debian creeps along, release-wise, i don't think we'll be losing ARMv5 support for quite some time
[07:22] <Vratha> it's not painless
[07:22] <Vratha> the first time is sort of difficult
[07:22] <wgrant> rww: My OpenRD-client was simple enough. Just search around -- there are official d-i images available, which you can easily boot with tftp
[07:22] <Vratha> rww: but do this: first, apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade the ubuntu that comes with it
[07:23] <Vratha> rww: from there, get yourself the latest kernel (check plugcomputer.org for info on how to do this)
[07:23] <Vratha> rww: install the kernel to the flash
[07:24] <Vratha> rww: then, get the latest u-boot so you can use MMC cards for booting, etc.
[07:24] <wgrant> rww: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-arm@lists.debian.org/msg10262.html
[07:24] <nomad77> magic_ninja: very nice! :) i saved it for future ref.
[07:25] <wgrant> rww: That same procedure should work, but obviously change the images that you use, and you'll need a different arcNumber.
[07:25] <Vratha> rww: then, you will want to take a USB stick or MMC card (not all work for booting, btw), and install a first-stage debian install on it.  there is some link on plugcomputer.org for that, and they link to a more detailed explanation
[07:25] <wgrant> Vratha: Or just TFTP-boot the sheevaplug d-i images directly...
[07:25] <Vratha> and then just follow the docs to the rest of the install
[07:25] <wgrant> Vratha: It's almost trivial.
[07:25] <Vratha> you could TFTP them; i didn't like that approach
[07:25] <wgrant> It's much easier.
[07:26] <Vratha> i couldn't get an install working that way
[07:26] <Vratha> it's really easy to just copy everything to a USB drive
[07:26] <Claviceps> WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS KID HAS MINDCONTROL?
[07:26] <random_> does anyone know if there are any games compatibale with an xbox 360 controller
[07:26] <magic_ninja> nomad77, well its going up on forums soon
[07:26] <Claviceps> MCAFEE ANTIVIRUS
[07:26] <Claviceps> MCAFEE ANTIVIRUS
[07:26] <FloodBot4> Claviceps: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:27] <rww> Vratha, wgrant: thanks for the info :)
[07:27] <magic_ninja> what is ubuntu's disk viewer device called
[07:27] <magic_ninja> i saw it on the live cd, someone want to check for me i'm in windows
[07:27] <Vratha> rww: after you get it working the first time, you will think it's trivial after that
[07:27] <magic_ninja> its system-->administration-->something hard disk viewer
[07:27] <Vratha> rww: i'd say u-boot is the hardest part to learn
[07:28] <magic_ninja> rww, unetbootin is what you want
[07:28] <magic_ninja> rww, nvm sorry
[07:29] <magic_ninja> ohh common someone check for me, whats that disk viewer called
[07:29] <dryg> Quick question
[07:29] <EastDallas> magic_ninja: disk utility
[07:29] <bening> how about modem? are all modems in this world work with ubuntu system?
[07:29] <dryg> Whats the terminal command to see all mounted drives and paths?
[07:29] <Vratha> i just want to know when they're going to upgrade the sheevaplug
[07:29] <wgrant> Vratha: u-boot is a strange creature indeed.
[07:29] <magic_ninja> dryg, sudo fdisk -l
[07:29] <rww> dryg: mount
[07:29] <dryg> thanks!
[07:29] <wgrant> Vratha: Hopefully there'll be an ARMv7 version of all those devices soon :(
[07:29] <Vratha> wgrant: yeah.  it works fine and all, but not exactly the easiest thing to use
[07:30] <dryg> i appreciate being able to pop in here for simple things like that
[07:30] <wgrant> But it makes a nice home server.
[07:30] <dryg> so thanks guys
[07:30]  * wgrant disappears.
[07:30] <Vratha> wgrant: an ARM Cortex would be sweet :)
[07:30] <EastDallas> magic_ninja: from a command line palimpsest
[07:30] <Vratha> wgrant: oh yeah, i love the plug computer for my home server
[07:30] <hellyes> somehow, messing with compizConfig settings I managed to lose my ability to use my mouse wheel to change workspaces.  Does anyone know how to get that ability back?
[07:30] <Vratha> i'm going to buy 2 more for off-site backup systems in 2 other geographical regions
[07:30] <magic_ninja> EastDallas, thank you
[07:31] <Vratha> i just don't know when i'm buying them yet
[07:32] <Guest57535> help!, I have deleted the files in /home/.ecryptfs/baris/.ecryptfs can I recreate them?
[07:33] <EastDallas> hellyes: it's under compizConfig Desktop> 'Viewport Switcher'
[07:34] <hellyes> EastDallas: Thank you very much!
[07:34] <Vratha> wgrant, rww: for me, the PNY Micro Swivel Attache USB cards are excellent, because it keeps the profile of the device small while giving me a few GB of space to run a system on and just move to a new system should one plug computer die
[07:35] <Vratha> the thing literally sticks out of my device by 1/2"
[07:35] <Vratha> or less even
[07:35] <Vratha> not entirely sure how long it sticks out, but it's small

[08:19] <ivanc> hi all
[08:21] <baonus> hi ivan
[08:21] <usesec_> Hello?!?!?!?!
[08:21] <Harmk> hallo?
[08:21] <baonus> wow... hi
[08:21] <Harmk> !botsnack
[08:21] <baonus> hallo, spreken se english?
[08:22] <usesec_> I'm meant to execute "./abyssws " to install a server I'm installing, but when I do that it just says "abyssws is a directory"
[08:22] <usesec_>  /h/alp?
[08:22] <baonus> cd abyssws
[08:22] <baonus> ls
[08:22] <Harmk> usesec_ can you try cd ./abyssws ?
[08:23] <SirCharles> can someone explain this to me http://homework.nwsnet.de/products/6349_switch-between-wmii-tags
[08:23] <usesec_> I don't quite understand the meaning of that command, though. I know "." is for the current directory your in, so ./abyssws is just like typing "abyssws" isn't it?
[08:23] <Harmk> usesec_ urm you are right the ./ doesnt make to much sense
[08:24] <usesec_> But, I mean, I know sometimes you execute scripts like that and stuff
[08:24] <usesec_> I don't know why
[08:24] <SirCharles> maybe he meant to say cd .abyssws
[08:24] <usesec_> No, definitely ./abyssws
[08:24] <ivanc> I've a problem with 9.10 installed on a acer extensa 5635Z-432G25Mn, resolved the problem with video card at startup but the pc is slow and the system hang X when I try to show a video or accessing to gl without write any line to syslog ... the graphic card is the intel gma 450m
[08:24] <Harmk> usesec_ alright do type "ls" do you see a green letter item called abyssws?
[08:24] <ivanc> any idea?
[08:25] <Harmk> ivanc its still a video driver issue for sure
[08:25] <coz_> ivanc,  I personally have little experience with intel video   sorry
[08:25] <ivanc> Harmk: yes i think too
[08:26] <usesec_> abyssws is in blue
[08:26] <coz_> ivanc,   did you check in the bios if you can increase the video ram ?
[08:26] <Harmk> coz_ that should not be it
[08:26] <Hentz> #dois-vizinhos
[08:26] <ivanc> coz_: yes with all parameters
[08:26] <Harmk> ivanc im afraid i heard lots of bad things about ubuntu 9.10 video wise, perhaps you should go for 9.04 or 8.10
[08:27] <ivanc> Harmk: any idea with the 10.4 ??
[08:27] <coz_> ivanc,  you could check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log  to see if it shows the problem
[08:28] <ivanc> coz_: no line are write to any log when the system hang
[08:28] <usesec_> Any Ideas guys? The "abyssws" folder is in blue when I do an ls
[08:28] <ivanc> usesec_: symbolic link?
[08:28] <psycho_oreos> usesec_, its meant to be blue

[08:31] <kcj1993> anyone?
[08:31] <SirCharles> what does dirname $0 stand for?
[08:31] <kinja-sheep> kcj1993: You shouldn't need to restart GNOME for new applet.
[08:33] <kcj1993> oh, look at that! that has been my experience in the past
[08:33] <kcj1993> thanks :)
[08:33] <B3rz3rk3r> kcj1993,  kinja-sheep is right, you shouldnt need to do that, however if you still want to just: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:33] <B3rz3rk3r> lol, ok seems like you've got it

[08:34] <fidin> i have an external cd drive but not a usb drive i can use right now
[08:34] <Myrtti> external
[08:35] <kcj1993> the easy way: wubi, the best way: external cd drive
[08:37] <fidin>  is wubi not as stable?
[08:37] <Myrtti> wubi is wubi is at best an easy way to install a usable demo. it's not recommendable for everyday use
[08:37] <baonus> i would only recommend using it every other day
[08:38] <baonus> =P jk. i've had good luck with it
[08:39] <baonus> i use it convince people that linux not only makes use of the mouse, but will also surf the web with the same programs they use in windows.

[08:41] <chaitanya> the one on the top-right of the screen ?
[08:42] <zamba> how can i ensure that the network has actually been brought up when running rc.local?
[08:42] <mofa> when i close the lid on my laptop nothing happens, and acpi_listen doesn't show anything about a lid closing too :(
[08:44] <owen1> can i only install calc and writer from openoffice?

[08:48] <{g}> owen1: why would you want to do that?
[08:49] <zamba> baonus: i can issue a wget
[08:49] <ziroday> evilsherpa: is this a samba, NFS share?
[08:49] <evilsherpa> i believe it might be because nautilus automaticly connectects to the guest account, which doesnt request a password, but also doesnt give read access
[08:50] <owen1> {g}: i am not interested in any other apps that comes with it.
[08:50] <evilsherpa> ziroday, i thought it was, the dirs are formatted to ext3
[08:50] <zamba> baonus: so i can issue a wget, i meant
[08:50] <evilsherpa> ziroday, but yeh it is an nfs share
[08:50] <zamba> baonus: when booting up i want to be able to run a script from a central location
[08:50] <ziroday> evilsherpa: and how are you trying to access it?
[08:51] <{g}> owen1: yeah, but they wont bite you or wake you up in the morning or... whats the problem with leaving them there?
[08:51] <c3101> evilsherpa, from a terminal enter the following command: showmount -e <nfs server name or ip>, can you see the share ?
[08:52] <zamba> but i see there's no init script in /etc/rc2.d/ to actually start the network
[08:52] <zamba> so what launches the network in karmic?
[08:52] <owen1> {g}: true. what's the package i should install (i use aptitude)
[08:53] <owen1> zamba: i put stuff like this in .xinitrc
[08:53] <{g}> owen1: isnt openoffice installed by default in ubuntu?
[08:54] <owen1> {g}: i removed it
[08:54] <owen1> {g}: i see core and also base. not sure if it's one of them.
[08:54] <bgoldsmith> greetings channel - any regular expression gurus around? here is a regexp question I must resolve urgently - how do I replace all commas within parentheses. for example - $string = " hello world, hey there (this, is, a, string), thanks" should be converted to "hello world, hey there (this; is; a; string), thanks"
[08:54] <klown> all that installing, just to remove, and reinstall ;/
[08:54] <zamba> owen1: that's for the current user, yeah, but i need a bootup script for the whole system
[08:55] <{g}> owen1: apt-cache search openoffice
[08:55] <{g}> owen1: that will show you available packages with openoffice in the name
[08:56] <{g}> owen1: "openoffice.org-calc" sounds good to me.
[08:57] <owen1> {g}: i am convinced to install all of it (285 MB)
[08:57] <owen1> {g}: it's openoffice.org
[08:58] <{g}> owen1: ok
[08:58] <chaitanya> Hi, where can i get the source for the ubuntu clock applet ?
[08:58] <chaitanya> the one on the top-right of the screen ?
[08:59] <kinja-sheep> owen1: Because I never used OOo Database, I'll try and remove it.

[09:00] <zamba> baonus: i need the old behaviour back, when we had a separate script for bringing up the network
[09:00] <yaramazgeyik> i cant run atlantis in my compiz ....
[09:00] <zamba> baonus: now it's all tied to some X stuff
[09:00] <Jkessler> intel_inside:  i think it's in the medibuntu repositories
[09:00] <yaramazgeyik> how to install atlantis pulgin
[09:00] <intel_Inside> how to get that
[09:00] <intel_Inside> I am completely new to ubuntu
[09:01] <Jkessler> intel_inside:  follow these instructions for adding the medibuntu repository http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/01/29/medibuntu-the-only-3rd-party-repo-i-use/
[09:01] <intel_Inside> it is because I saw one of my friend using and it seemed me better compared to xp
[09:01] <legend2440> intel_Inside: http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/choose/
[09:01] <Jkessler> then sudo apt-get install skype
[09:01] <kinja-sheep> owen1: sudo aptitude purge openoffice.org-base did it for me. No more OOo Database. You get the idea.
[09:02] <Gartral> does ubuntu still have the issue with multiple drives having the same UUID not wanting to boot?
[09:02] <yaramazgeyik> which user are using compiz perfectly ??
[09:02] <promet> I do not have a .Xauthority file in my home directory, when starting X it should be automagically generated, no?
[09:02] <baonus> zamba: you can un-install NetworkManager
[09:02] <intel_Inside> which one to choose.... I am using ubuntu 9.04
[09:02] <Kr0ntab> bgoldsmith, you can use sed or built in bash replace...
[09:03] <owen1> zamba: cron scheduler - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046139
[09:03] <baonus> zamba: i mean... ideally to keep things from breaking during updates (the only real advantage I see in using these nice little packaged up linuxes) you want to come up with a solution that works with Network Managter
[09:03] <wowoto> intel_Inside: you  can choose anyone you like ,it is very conveninent for you to update it
[09:04] <Lokin> Anyone know how I would go about setting up port forwarding via terminal(SSH tunneled)?
[09:04] <owen1> kinja-sheep: interesting, but it might damage your open office in some ways. make sure you can still use it.
[09:04] <legend2440> intel_Inside: Ubuntu 8.10+  32 bit
[09:04] <zamba> baonus: but network manager potentially don't bring up the network until X has been brought up
[09:04] <intel_Inside> Thank You
[09:05] <intel_Inside> I liked the community very much it is very helpful
[09:05] <intel_Inside> Infact more than my fren told me

[09:05] <wowoto> intel_Inside: you are welcome :)
[09:06] <intel_Inside> hey how do you get the yellow thing but we are in black
[09:06] <owen1> intel_Inside: what's community? is it an app?
[09:06] <kinja-sheep> owen1: The way I see it, openoffice.org is more of a metapackage than a real package (it is only 53.2k) and you always can add -s to simulate the progress.
[09:06] <intel_Inside> be it anything its great
[09:07] <kinja-sheep> owen1: We're the community he was referring to, I believe.

I have tried several times with no luck and everytime it totally trucks the bootloader which messes up my actuall comupter to an unbootable state. Is there anyone who can help?
[09:08] <yaramazgeyik> i have compiz ok! but i cant install atlantis pulg-in
[09:08] <owen1> LewisDre4m: there are two apps that can do that. which one did u try?
[09:08] <Kr0ntab> bgoldsmith, for example:  ORIGINAL="some ,,,,,,, symbols need to be replaced" ; NEW=${ORIGINAL/\,/\;} ; echo $NEW
[09:09] <owen1> LewisDre4m: unetbootin?
[09:09] <kinja-sheep> LewisDre4m: There are array of USB installations including Startup Disk Creator, unetbootin, direct zcat or dd, etc. What did you try?
[09:09] <LewisDre4m> owen1: Please for give me, I am a noob, I didn't try any app at all I just ran the live cd and installed it that way.
[09:09] <promet> Missing .Xauthority file
[09:09] <owen1> LewisDre4m: i forgive u.
[09:09] <promet> <---this guy
[09:09] <LewisDre4m> owen1: :D
[09:10] <LewisDre4m> owen1: So I should have used an app to do it?
[09:10] <owen1> LewisDre4m: we were all noobs. well, not me, but most of us.
[09:10] <LewisDre4m> owen1:  lol
[09:10] <yaramazgeyik> ....
[09:10] <LewisDre4m> kinja-sheep: So I should have used an app not just the live cd
[09:10] <kinja-sheep> LewisDre4m: Are you on LiveCD right now?
[09:10] <legend2440> promet: ever since clean install of karmic i dont have  .Xauthority file either
[09:11] <LewisDre4m> kinja-sheep:  I'm on my Desktop machine running Ubuntu, I have the live cd in the computer though. (not running) but its there.
[09:11] <promet> legend2440 any idea about why that is?
[09:11] <kinja-sheep> LewisDre4m: Do you see USB Startup Creator under System --> Preferences/Admin?
[09:11] <legend2440> promet: no
[09:11] <LewisDre4m> yes
[09:11] <Kr0ntab> woops... bgoldsmith to get all of the , characters:   ORIGINAL="some ,,,,,, symbols need to be replaced" ; NEW=${ORIGINAL//\,/\;} ; echo $NEW
[09:11] <LewisDre4m> kinja-sheep: USB Startup Disk creator
[09:12] <owen1> LewisDre4m: you are in good hands. I wish i had kinja-sheep to assist me when i was a baby.
[09:12] <kinja-sheep> LewisDre4m: Use that and plug the USB in. It'll format your HDD btw.
[09:12] <LewisDre4m> format my usb flash drive ye?
[09:12] <LewisDre4m> ok let me plug the bugger in
[09:12] <kinja-sheep> LewisDre4m: I mean the USB. I apologized for the scare. :(
[09:12] <promet> legend2440 I am wondering if Karmic handles it differently, as I understand it, when X starts it should auto generate an .Xauthority file
[09:12] <promet> for each user when they log in
[09:12] <LewisDre4m> kinja-sheep: I did just run to the toilet shorlty after you said that.
[09:13] <kinja-sheep> yaramazgeyik: You have to obtain the plugin?
[09:13] <promet> also I have other guest accounts on my machine which DO have .Xauthority files
[09:13] <legend2440> promet: i know it did in jaunty not sure why it doesnt in karmic
[09:14] <promet> I believe it's messing up my NXserver install as well, which used to work like a dream but now spits out xauth errors and won't connect

[09:16] <guyofthe90s> didnt know thr were so many ubuntu chatters !
[09:16] <baonus> zamba: so is this thing supposed to work regardless of X?
[09:16] <Rainy> i am also new to linux.. I installed a distro on my netbook 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love it
[09:17] <LewisDre4m> kinja-sheep: What should I choose for "stored in reserved extra space" it's a slider.
[09:17] <baonus> Rainy: Welcome to the dark side. heh
[09:17] <guyofthe90s> yeah...it is damn gud
[09:17] <LewisDre4m> I love it
[09:17] <LewisDre4m> kinja-sheep: I need you buddy!
[09:17] <kinja-sheep> farhad: I think that can be accomplished in Compiz Settings. Not sure.
[09:17] <zamba> baonus: yeah
[09:18] <kinja-sheep> LewisDre4m: You want to use Ubuntu on USB stick?
[09:18] <farhad> kinja-sheep,  i will check it now
[09:18] <LewisDre4m> yes, only to show mum and get her using it with out destroying her comp.
[09:18] <kinja-sheep> My mum is running Karmic. :-)
[09:19] <LewisDre4m> I'm worried what we are doing is going to put the "instalation process" on to usb rather than the actuall operating system.
[09:19] <promet> kinja-sheep = world's hippest mum
[09:19] <kinja-sheep> LewisDre4m: It is up to you. If you want to keep files and settings persistent.
[09:19] <LewisDre4m> kinja-sheep: Will this make ubuntu bootable so I can run the os via usb drive.?
[09:19] <Kr0ntab> hehe... root
[09:19] <Jkessler> LewisDre4m:  just use a livecd session?
[09:19] <baonus> zamba: you could certainly write a script with a symlink in cron.d that would be created with rc.local. The script could try the wget with a sleep 5 or something... then once it suceeded delete its symlink
[09:20] <zamba> baonus: terribly complex
[09:20] <baonus> zamba: =/ doesnt seem that bad really
[09:20] <LewisDre4m> Jkessler: Wanted something a little more substantial that she can change settings etc and play a bit more.
[09:20] <yaramazgeyik> kinja-sheep: obtain ?
[09:20] <LewisDre4m> kinja-sheep: Will this make a bootable os on my usb drive?
[09:20] <zamba> baonus: maybe rather do something in if.up?
[09:20] <kinja-sheep> LewisDre4m: Yes.
[09:20] <baonus> yeah but you dont want if.ip to hang
[09:20] <baonus> surely
[09:20] <kinja-sheep> LewisDre4m: As long as the hardware is supported on USB bootings.
[09:21] <zamba> baonus: i've removed network-manager now, but still the network gets brought up at boot.. why?
[09:21] <Jkessler> you can't save settings in a usb install can you?
[09:21] <kinja-sheep> yaramazgeyik: I see what you mean. You want the fish.
[09:21] <yaramazgeyik> yea ^^
[09:21] <LewisDre4m> it says copying files. So when will I get to put in langugae time zone etc like you would when you normally install?
[09:21] <baonus> zamba: you're going for it to NOT establish a network connection on boot?
[09:21] <kinja-sheep> !usb | Jkessler LewisDre4m (Yes you can).
[09:21] <yaramazgeyik> kinja_sheep: yea
[09:21] <zamba> baonus: no, i'm going for figuring out HOW it does it, so i know when to insert my boot up scripts
[09:21] <krishnan> is thr any virtual desktop kind of thing present in linux
[09:21] <alabd> Hello , each time is required to connect internet , ipmasq should be stopped first , and then for sharing network starting it is needed , how to avoid doing so after each reboot ?
[09:21] <Jkessler> huh.  i installed another dist on a flash drive and it only ran as a live session
[09:21] <Rainy> i installed my os thru USB cuz i have no optical drive
[09:22] <Jkessler> that's cool though
[09:22] <zamba> baonus: i'm afraid to say this, but ubuntu is moving in a windows direction.. stuff happening for no reason..
[09:22] <baonus> zamba: what if you're not plugged in and there's no wireless in the area?
[09:22] <kinja-sheep> LewisDre4m: I don't think so. I don't use USB Startup Creator myself. I do the low level stuffs. :-)  I can't be certain what you'll see.
[09:22] <zamba> baonus: this is not a laptop
[09:22] <baonus> zamba: hahaha, that's harsh
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[09:22] <zamba> baonus: well, it's true :p
[09:22] <LewisDre4m> kinja-sheep:  oh lol, I thought you were the wizzard!
[09:23] <zamba> baonus: earlier you had a networking script that was symlinked into the correct runlevel.. and then you could determine when and how the network got brought up.. now it's some hidden magic somewhere bringing it up
[09:23] <kinja-sheep> yaramazgeyik: Well -- I don't know.  Even I am fumbling a little trying to set it up right now. I'll give you a fish though. ALT + F2 and type in "free the fish" (w/o quotes).
[09:23] <elpigeondindo> hi all
[09:23] <yaramazgeyik> kinja_sheep:ok i try
[09:23] <LewisDre4m> kinja-sheep: We wll see, my instinct tells me all this will do is basically give me a "ubuntu cd" on my pen drive rather than installing the os on it.
[09:23] <owen1> kinja-sheep: when running an OS from a usb, is it reducing the life of the device?
[09:23] <elpigeondindo> can someone help me to install ubuntu ? i don't see my sata in the installation
[09:24] <LewisDre4m> owen1: Yes i'm sure it does but im not  gonna be using it much just a few days or something
[09:24] <yaramazgeyik>   kinja_sheep: but ıst simple :D
[09:24] <zamba> baonus: do you know how the network is brought up?
[09:24] <zamba> baonus: if you remove network-manager?
[09:24] <kinja-sheep> LewisDre4m: Just pop in the disc and let your mom play with the demo. The good thing about LiveCD is that it's read-only.
[09:25] <yaramazgeyik> kinja_sheep: i cant close it but this fish so sweet :D:D
[09:25] <LewisDre4m> kinja-sheep: Well in my case thats the bad thing, as she can't take off programs or install them or have a good play around you know?
[09:25] <kinja-sheep> LewisDre4m: No need to sugarcoat anything. She's your mum. She'll love you regardless. :o
[09:25] <LewisDre4m> kinja-sheep:  lol
[09:25] <baonus> zamba: Crap... I'll have to look at it. Gimme a second
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> zamba: you can use ifconfig or iwconfig   or you can use /etc/network/interfaces
[09:26] <zamba> ActionParsnip: that's what i'm using
[09:26] <baonus> ActionParsnip: He's looking more for a script hook to run something
[09:26] <gotsanity-book> i have a bluetooth adapter that i was using before without problem and now for some reason its not detecting when i plug it in. any ideas? the adapter is an iogear gbu421wm
[09:26] <kinja-sheep> LewisDre4m: What particular programs? I have to "wine Solitare.exe" so she can play the cards with the sharks.
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> zamba: cool beans
[09:26] <kinja-sheep> yaramazgeyik: Enjoy the fish. :)
[09:26] <zamba> ActionParsnip: but the network is not brought up till when rc.local is run
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> baonus: gotcha
[09:26] <LewisDre4m> kinja-sheep: Chrome etc
[09:27] <elpigeondindo> i want to try ubuntu 9.10 but i can't install it on a 80G sata II. Any idea to install it ?
[09:27] <LewisDre4m> I LOVE and I mean LOVE google chrome for linux. As soon as that went linux I switched immeediatly I love google chrome so fast!
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> zamba: you can add a command to rc.local to make it come up surely?
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> LewisDre4m: i love chromium too. its awesome
[09:27] <zamba> ActionParsnip: do a /etc/init.d/networking restart there?
[09:27] <baonus> zamba: ubuntu 9.10?
[09:27] <ActionParsnip> zamba: worth a try
[09:27] <LewisDre4m> ActionParsnip: Fastest web browser in the world!
[09:28] <zamba> baonus: yeah
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> LewisDre4m: lynx is faster
[09:28] <LewisDre4m> oh haha
[09:28] <yaramazgeyik> kinja-sheep: thanks for help ^^
[09:28] <elpigeondindo> nobody can help me :S ? ? ?
[09:28] <LewisDre4m> Anyway Thank you for all who helped me, special thanks to owen1 and kinja-sheep and anyone else who helped. Have a great day. Keep safe see you later!
[09:28] <owen1> ActionParsnip: what's the best way to install it?
[09:29] <kinja-sheep> yaramazgeyik: You might can find your answer in #compiz -- Let me know though!
[09:29] <kinja-sheep> LewisDre4m: No prob.
[09:29] <gheddy_zarc> does lynx run in ubuntu action p ? is there a distro of it ?
[09:29] <mka> elpigeondindo, why can't you install it there?
[09:29] <{g}> gheddy_zarc: what is "ubuntu action p"?
[09:30] <zamba> ActionParsnip: that did the trick
[09:30] <elpigeondindo> mka: i don't see my drive on installation
[09:30] <mneptok> {g}: i could tell you, but it's classified.
[09:30] <mka> elpigeondindo, how many hard drives do you have?
[09:30] <farhad> kinja-sheep,  yes. i have configured it with compiz. thank you very much
[09:31] <kinja-sheep> farhad: Great! ;-)
[09:31] <gheddy_zarc> sorry {g} meant ActionParsnip,, lynx looks lke a text browser hows that work,,
[09:31]  * gheddy_zarc runs off to synaptic
[09:31] <mneptok> {g}: what i can tell you is that Ubuntu Action P involves deep-cover insertion teams and strong cryptography
[09:31] <elpigeondindo> mka: 2 Sata II
[09:31] <gheddy_zarc> lol
[09:31] <mneptok> gheddy_zarc: w3m is installed by default
[09:31] <yaramazgeyik> kinja_sheep: can i ask a last question
[09:32] <mneptok> gheddy_zarc: and w3m is a LOT better than lynx
[09:32] <Rainy> can anyone recommend a good room thats less crowded
[09:32] <mneptok> Rainy: for ... ?
[09:33] <Rainy> for chatting
[09:33] <coz_> Rainy,   just chatting or support for ubuntu?
[09:33] <Rainy> just chatting
[09:33] <mneptok> !offtopic > Rainy
[09:33] <coz_> Rainy,  no  I dont know of any off hand other than offtopic as suggested
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> gheddy_zarc: it reads the html and displays text, images can be viewed by clicking links
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> gheddy_zarc: didnt say it looked better, its just faster
[09:34] <yaramazgeyik> kinja-sheep: i have a webcam but i cant open it ...
[09:34] <gheddy_zarc> how do I run it ActionParsnip ? from terminal ?
[09:34] <gotsanity-book> I have a bluetooth adapter (usb) that shows up under lsusb and dmesg but is not showing up under the bluetooth settings, any ideas?
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> gheddy_zarc: yep, its a terminal based browser
[09:34] <kinja-sheep> yaramazgeyik: You installed cheese? I have to restart my X.
[09:34] <Rainy> thats the only channel on this server thats non ubuntu?
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> Rainy: try #gentoo
[09:35] <DaZ> 90% of the channels is non-ubuntu :F
[09:35] <mneptok> ActionParsnip: be nice ;)
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> mneptok: s/he asked for it :D
[09:36] <zetheroo> does anyone here have experience with ralink wifi hardware in Ubuntu?
[09:36] <mka> Rainy, try going to talk your neighbours physically
[09:36] <Rainy> um no
[09:36] <Rainy> i didnt ask for sarcasm
[09:36] <aPanDa> i'm running ubuntu 8.04 lite 64bit and some scripts give me "no such file.." errors even tho the files are there, example: http://pastebin.com/d55157535 - could it be due to that being 32 bit binaries?
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> Rainy: it was in no way sarcastic
[09:36] <mneptok> Rainy: this is a massive network with thousands of channels
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> Rainy: i simply gave an example of a non-ubuntu channel
[09:36] <yaramazgeyik> kinja-sheep: cheese is find all webcam driver
[09:36] <Rainy> i will just try another network
[09:36] <mneptok> Rainy: it's like being in New York and asking, "Can somebody recommend another taxi?"
[09:36] <yaramazgeyik> kinja-sheep: i have acer laptop
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> Rainy: how is that sarcastic ?
[09:36] <zetheroo> Rainy: what was your question?
[09:37] <Rainy> question was can someone recommend a good room for non ubuntu chatting
[09:37] <DaZ> aPanDa: chmods?
[09:37] <Rainy> since im new to this network
[09:37] <gheddy_zarc> so i can browse http with lynx ? Im running it in termina l now but cant see how to operate it,,
[09:38] <Rainy> and /list has hundreds of options i dont want to just bust in on someones room
[09:38] <zetheroo> Rainy: you mean your new to IRC chat ...
[09:38] <Rainy> no
[09:38] <aPanDa> daz: -rwxr-xr-x 1 ac1 ac1 950856 Dec 30 08:57 ./server_linux
[09:38] <zetheroo> Rainy: which "network" are you new to?
[09:38] <Rainy> ive been IRC'ing for years but always on the same network. I am just visiting some new ones.
[09:38] <Bomberman> does anyone know of a way to create a screen saver?  slideshow type of thing...
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> Rainy: if its not locked to private then you are free to spawn a channel or join existing ones
[09:38] <DaZ> aPanDa: chmod o+x server_linux ? :f
[09:38] <superpiiii> how do you a full system update on ubuntu server?
[09:38] <kinja-sheep> yaramazgeyik: Check out on your make/model.
[09:38] <kinja-sheep> !hardware | yaramazgeyik
[09:39] <ceW_cr> ce_cari cow
[09:39] <DaZ> wrong
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> superpiiii: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:39] <mneptok> superpiiii: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:39] <DaZ> aPanDa: chmod u+x server_linux
[09:39] <zetheroo> Rainy: well then as you know rooms are usually created with a topic in mind .. so it must all depend on what you wanted to chat about - no!?
[09:39] <kraut> moin
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> mneptok: why the && ?
[09:40]  * mneptok whispers "IRC has 'channels,' not 'rooms'"
[09:40] <zetheroo> btw .... ralink wifi hardware anyone? .... trying to get it working and looking for someone with experience
[09:40] <aPanDa> daz it already has +x for everyone, i've tried it tho, same results ;)
[09:40] <zetheroo> mneptok: hehe ... your too right
[09:40] <kinja-sheep> ActionParsnip: Wait until the first command finished.
[09:40] <mneptok> ActionParsnip: you break your commands your style, i do it mine.
[09:40] <DaZ> aPanDa: you're right, i'm tired [;
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> kinja-sheep: yeah but with an update / upgrade command, seems excessive
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> mneptok: true :)
[09:42] <Bomberman> does anyone know of a utility to create a slideshow type of screen saver?  if such a thing exists
[09:42] <superpiiii> why isn the package vim-full in the repo any more?
[09:44] <elpigeondindo> hi al
[09:44] <baonus> zamba: ok, i see what you're saying about the mysteries. they've gone to upstart
[09:44] <zamba> baonus: what's upstart?
[09:44] <Flannel> superpiiii: Because it's covered by a few other packages.  What are you looking for?
[09:44] <baonus> zamba: meh, a way to add more options for automation but make customization different
[09:45] <cjae>  usb 5-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 107
[09:45] <baonus> zamba: i'm getting a look at it now
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> superpiiii: these repos have vim on them, you can check for vim-full in each by hitting the link: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=vim-full
[09:45] <baonus> zamba: at the end of the day it looks like yet another 'run all the symlinks in this directory' sort of framework
[09:46] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: That doesn't make any sense.
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: i rarely do
[09:46] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: Then stop doing support if you're going to be random and non-helpful
[09:46] <gotsanity-book> I have a bluetooth adapter (usb) that shows up under lsusb and dmesg but is not showing up under the bluetooth settings, any ideas?
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: its a list of ppas on launchpad hosting vim of some description so the user can investigate it as an avenue
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: if its deemed worthless, no love lost
[09:47] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: Except it's totally unrelated to his question
[09:47] <aPanDa> i'm running ubuntu 8.04 lite 64bit and some scripts give me "no such file.." errors even tho the files are there, example: http://pastebin.com/d782851fa - any pointers?
[09:47] <alabd> any opinion ?
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: well if its not in the repo anymore, a 3rd party can be added to get the app desired
[09:47] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: That's not true.  Being confusing isn't helpful.  Please desist providing random information in the future.
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> cool
[09:48] <Flannel> ActionParsnip: When you have absolutely no idea what a question is about, don't attempt to answer it.
[09:48] <S0LIDUS> What is the difference between 2.6.24-26-generic and the 2.6.25 Kernel ?
[09:48] <aPanDa> p.s. i've updated the pastebin thing to show the script in question :>
[09:49] <legend2440> Bomberman: there are a couple already in system>preferences>screensaver that do slideshows
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> Flannel: i said "cool"
[09:49] <cjae> ok I  cannot use a console (tty1) because of this error  usb 5-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 107 and multiple others in dmesg
[09:49] <yaramazgeyik> kinja-sheep: thanks a lottt ..... :D:D:D:D ^^ my webcam is runnig ... crystal webcam is running :D:D
[09:49] <cjae> usb dying
[09:53] <mka> S0LIDUS, 2.6.25 is newer version
[09:53] <g53tr> hola
[09:54] <S0LIDUS> mka, Thanks for the info. Are there any real differences?
[09:54] <mka> S0LIDUS, of course there should be differences, go to the web and check the Changelog
[09:55] <S0LIDUS> mka, Ho'kay! Do you have a link?
[09:55] <mka> S0LIDUS, kernel.org ?
[09:55] <aPanDa> can i run 32 bit binaries under 64 bit ubuntu?
[09:56] <S0LIDUS> mka, Ho'kay! Will investigate! Thanks dude. ;)
[10:00] <baonus> zamba: well... so much for system V
[10:01] <zamba> baonus: well, i fixed it using /etc/init.d/networking restart at the beginning of my rc.local
[10:01] <lstarnes> aPanDa: yes, if you have ia32-libs and the 32-bit libraries required by the 32-bit binaries installed
[10:02] <baonus> zamba:  i believe i am still not fully aware of your intended goal
[10:02] <baonus> zamba: however, i'm glad you got it working
[10:03] <zamba> baonus: i need to run a script at bootup, but it needs network connectivity
[10:03] <baonus> zamba: upstart is an event based job initializer
[10:03] <baonus> zamba: http://www.linux.com/archive/articles/57213
[10:03] <aPanDa> lstarnes thanks, sounds a bit cumbersome :> i think i might just reinstall the server with a 32bit system, i dont need 64 anyway
[10:04] <lstarnes> aPanDa: you most likely won't need to go through all that
[10:04] <mka> S0LIDUS, here is the changelog for 2.6.25 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.25
[10:04] <jason_> How come when I right-click on a program I don't get a context menu and it starts up instead? Won't even let me drag it to Quicklaunch button it that way either...
[10:04] <kinja-sheep> owen1: When I uninstalled -base, it removed lot of stuffs.  Leaving me alone with a OOo Writer
[10:04] <S0LIDUS> mka, Thank you!
[10:05] <aPanDa> lstarnes it was installed just a few days ago, it's probably the fastest way and i suspect the 64 bit version dont run well (it's a vserver)
[10:06] <lstarnes> aPanDa: I rarely ever have issues with 64-bit
[10:06] <jason_> How come when I right-click on a program I don't get a context menu and it starts up instead? Won't even let me drag it to Quicklaunch button it that way either...
[10:06] <aPanDa> versions*
[10:06] <splig> hi!
[10:06] <mka> hi splig
[10:07] <splig> how can i restart pulse server after suspend?? it's not running. i need reboot to sound
[10:07] <baonus> jason_: gnome?
[10:07] <jason_> Xubuntu
[10:07] <jason_> Xfce
[10:07] <baonus> xfce doesnt support that drag drop business out of the box
[10:08] <jason_> Gah!
[10:08] <baonus> you'll have to add a launcher on the bar you want
[10:08] <jason_> How do I fix?
[10:08] <baonus> payment for the lightweight
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> splig: run: killall pulseaudio    then press alt+f2   and type: pulseaudio    and hit enter
[10:08] <jason_> Here I thought so far I wasn't going to miss anything.  Hmmm
[10:08] <zamba> i need a kernel for running ubuntu 9.10 in xen
[10:08] <mka> jason_, configure the orientation of the mouse by ALT+F2 then typing "gnome-mouse-properties"
[10:09] <bl3s5in> Does any one know of a load balancing software that will divide bandwidth based on ports to a designated NIC or IP?
[10:09] <jason_> That does not exist
[10:09] <splig> ActionParsnip, i can't... looks like it can not found the sound card....
[10:09] <baonus> jason_: you dont always get what you pay for, but you always pay for what you get
[10:09] <splig> i did what you said but still says "AO: [pulse] Failed to connect to server: Invalid argument" when i try to play
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> splig: looks like you will need to rmmod the module that drives it, then modprobe it back in
[10:10] <splig> which module is it? snd?
[10:10] <mka> jason_, what is the equivalent of gnome-mouse-properties in xubuntu?
[10:10] <bet> how do i get into the yahoo chat rooms?
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> splig: sudo lshw -C sound    will tell you, its the driver bit at the bottom of the output
[10:11] <jason_> I am looking at the mouse device behavior thingy and see nothing that can help me
[10:11] <mka> bet, yahoo mail?
[10:11] <baonus> b0xxy: seriously? that's a dangerous name
[10:11] <jason_> So if I create launchers on the desktop and the bar it will hurt my performance?
[10:12] <baonus> no
[10:12] <Kamokow> jason_: no
[10:12] <bl3s5in> jason_ : Was "That does not exist" directed at me?
[10:12] <splig> :s i don't understand... never mind i will reboot. anyway i will install 9.10 in some days, probably it's solved
[10:12] <splig> thanks ActionParsnip
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> splig: may help too: http://blog.techytim.com/2009/01/28/ubuntu-sound-fix/
[10:12] <splig> ok
[10:13] <yalu> UPSTART. I can't figure out where to find the shutdown/reboot routines. My intent is to get rid of kexec.
[10:13] <jason_> At mka I believe
[10:13] <yalu> someone has a pointer?
[10:13] <jason_> It is okay.  I will just create a launcher
[10:13] <mka> yalu, my mouse is a pointer!
[10:14] <yalu> mka: not entirely technically correct ;-)
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> splig: you will need a bit of digging to see what makes you card ok after suspend. its a real PITA to get nice
[10:14] <afshin> hi i waaaant install my webcam in kubuntu 9.10 but i cant
[10:14] <afshin> anybody can help me?

[10:25] <bl3s5in> Man this channel is still active since the last time I've been here a few years ago
[10:25] <bl3s5in> Impressive Ubuntu :)
[10:25] <kraut> wtf? ubuntu?
[10:25] <kraut> what's that?!
[10:25] <kraut> something to eat?
[10:26] <bl3s5in> It's tacos
[10:26] <bl3s5in> yum
[10:26] <jeffjeffdejeff> i'm about to take delivery of a machine with a 64bit processor in it.  my current machine has a 32bit cpu in it.  my questions are these: if i mount my current home directory to a seperate partition and proceed to install 64bit version of ubuntu, will/should everything work?
[10:27] <bl3s5in> It should.
[10:27] <dnivra> bl3s5in: aptitude/apt if you don't mind:).
[10:27] <S0LIDUS> Where is the kernel located in hardy heron
[10:27] <bl3s5in> You got it.
[10:27] <jeffjeffdejeff> (in case you haven't realised, i'm planning to use hard drive out of this machine and put it in the new one)
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> !ubuntu | kraut
[10:29] <bl3s5in> Your home directory doesn't have any thing all that important to the system in it. So all you really have to do is set the new partition to mount as /home in the installer and you should be good to go.
[10:29] <kraut> ActionParsnip: that's disgusting! i'm hungry, i thought ubuntu is something to eat :/
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> kraut: no its not, just like windows isnt either
[10:29] <jeffjeffdejeff> my next question is:  what is the best approach to moving my home dir to a seperate partition?  i have seen plenty of guides, but many people post about having problems (uuids?) after trying them
[10:30] <kinja-sheep> !home | jeffjeffdejeff
[10:30] <kraut> ActionParsnip: i now. a window is good for looking outside and getting fresh air into a building.
[10:30] <jeffjeffdejeff> bl3s5in: thanks for your answer
[10:30] <bazhang> !ot | kraut
[10:30] <kraut> bazhang: look up, i talked about ubuntu. somebody else started a discussion about windows...
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: you can resize partitions on te old drive and use it all for home space
[10:31] <bazhang> kraut, this is for ubuntu support only; chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:31] <ICHA_CUBBY> BT
[10:31] <jeffjeffdejeff> ActionParsnip: old drive?
[10:31] <bl3s5in> jeffjeffdejeff : I would just make the new partition, format it to ext4, then copy over all the files in your home dir. But I'm sure there is a more "proper" way to do it.
[10:31] <kraut> bazhang: i know. where is the problem?
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: sure in the current system
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: unless you are talking about transferring the drive from old to new to then boot it
[10:32] <dnivra> I'm trying to create a backup of the installed packages and have a doubt about how to restore them. I've created the backup and also done "dpkg --set-selections < "packages". next is "sudo dselect". what do I have to do after that?
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> kraut: this channel is for support of the ubuntu OS. Talking about what a window is and food and what you thought ubuntu meant is not an OS support question
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> kraut: so is offtopic for this channel
[10:33] <jeffjeffdejeff> ActionParsnip: there is only one drive.  I'll be taking it out of this machine and putting it into the machine with the 64b cpu.  i want to install 64b ubuntu, but don't want to lose my home dir
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: i seeeee, yes it will boot fine but your OS will still be 32bit, if you have more than 3Gb ram in the new you will need to install the pae kernel to get access to all the ram
[10:34] <alberto> Good morning
[10:34] <kraut> ActionParsnip: oh man. you should know that i was just kidding. it was totally obviously!
[10:34] <ICHA_CUBBY> K
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> kraut: not from here
[10:35] <kraut> !facepalm
[10:35] <alberto> I don't know what to do to make my NVIDIA GeForce 7050 work in Ubuntu Jaunty, after having downgraded from Karmic, leaving the /home directory without changes.
[10:35] <kinja-sheep> kraut: We don't assume things. We keep it simple and straightforward here.
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: you can us the seperate home guidnce as was shown above and ten simply format the old OS stuff out (after backing up anything you need outside of home and install fresh
[10:36] <alberto> Everytime I start the computer, the screen resolutions sets automatically to 800x600
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> !downgrade |alberto
[10:36] <alberto> ActionParsnip What should I do then? Reinstalling everything once more?
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> alberto: you can use: gksudo jockey-gtk    to install the driver, or use software-center to install nvidia-glx-185
[10:36] <jeffjeffdejeff> Actionparsnip: sorry, I need to clarify - it will still be 32bit OS if I keep my home dir from my 32b intallation?
[10:37] <S0LIDUS> if i copy a kernel config from boot, will i need to rename it?
[10:37] <legend2440> alberto: can you paste your  /etc/X11/xorg.conf  file?
[10:37] <legend2440> !paste
[10:37] <alberto> legend2440 Sure
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: yes, you can resize the current / partition to make enough space to create a seperate partition for /home which you can then throw your user data on, you will then be able toformat the / partition as /home is no longer stored on it
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: an easier way still is to make sure your backups are sufficiently recent, compketely format (creating a seperate home folder) and then restore your data after the clean install
[10:38] <ICHA_CUBBY> agey BT nich....
[10:39] <plustax_> okay guys. quick issue. my computer is on. I plug in my lcd tv to it with a dvi cable. It looks great. I restart, and my tv says not compatible with signal. so I plug the monitor back in. Fine.
[10:39] <plustax_> How do I make it so I can JUST use my tv as a monitor?
[10:39] <alberto> legend2440 http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2a969482
[10:39] <jeffjeffdejeff> ActionParsnip:  right, that's the plan.  your most recent suggestion sounds like a winner.  how do i make sure permissions etc copy accross ok?
[10:40] <Harmk> Hey everyone
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> if its your home folder then they will all be the same, you can copy / restore back then chown the data to your user to make sure you have the right access
[10:40] <alberto> legend2440 nvidia-settings detects CMO CMC 19AW
[10:41] <alberto> legend2440 If I'm not wrong, that's an ATI card
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: you can also set the some backup apps to store permissions (i believe)
[10:41] <jeffjeffdejeff> ActionParsnip: i was gonna ask about backing up - can you recommend a good app?
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: my backup is a cron'd cp job so I can easily copy data back when its needed, nothing fancy at all
[10:42] <legend2440> alberto: ModelName      "CMO CMC 19AW" ? thats what nvidia-settings says your monitor is
[10:42] <jeffjeffdejeff> ActionParsnip: sorry, cron'd cp job?  i don't understand
[10:42] <dnivra> I've been reading about installing a PAE enabled kernel for Ubuntu since i've a 64bit architecture and would like to know if there's a major difference in performance in Ubuntu between the i386 kernel and the PAE enable kernel besides 64 bit support. I'm very new to the whole kernel thing and would like some advice.
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: cron is a way to schedule tasks, cp is the cli command for copy
[10:43] <alberto> legend2440 Do you see anything wrong in my xorg.conf?
[10:44] <Zeppelin> Hello.. I need some detailed help on how to remove Ubuntu from my hard drive. I installed it side by side with Windows and now i want Ubuntu gone
[10:44] <jeffjeffdejeff> ActionParsnip: sounds very techie!  Your earlier point about having more than 3gb of ram worries me a little - this machine comes with 4.  can you elaborate a little please about the kernel jobberdywotsit?
[10:44] <malinens> hi! I have xen server 5.5.0 and ubuntu jeos guest. do i need to still install xs-tools? what advatages xs-tools insatlling gives? what executable from .iso should I run? tnx!
[10:44] <legend2440> alberto: i would try this    Option         "metamodes" "1280x1024 +0+0" only replace   1280x1024   wirh the resolution you want
[10:45] <lolmaus^> I'm a heavy Windows user running Intel P55, GeForce GTX 275, Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty. Will i face serious trouble switching for Ubuntu as a desktop OS? I've never been using linux on desktop, though i have some linux server experience.
[10:45] <X-Sleepy-X> I have a strange problem with Ubuntu 9.10 now.
[10:45] <erUSUL> Zeppelin: just reformat the ubuntu parition to ntfs so you can use the space in windows ( join it with swap )
[10:45] <malinens> omg sorry, posted in wrong irc room
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: 32bit can only address so much ram with the help of pae, 64bit can address a stupendous amount, so your 32bit kernel will run on your 64bit cpu but will not be able to address all the ram, you will need to install the pae kernel which is 32bit but uses a software method to address more ram than a standard 32bit kernel can
[10:45] <Zeppelin> erUSUL, i have NO idea how to do that
[10:45] <erUSUL> Zeppelin: then reinstall the windows mbr. you need the windows install CD ask details in ##windows
[10:46] <legend2440> alberto: did you comment this line out?   # Removed Option "metamodes" "1440x900 +0+0"  or did nvidia settings
[10:46] <jeffjeffdejeff> ActionParsnip: ahh, but when i install 64bit OS, I won't have that problem?
[10:46] <alberto> legend2440 Nvidia settings, actually.
[10:46] <erUSUL> Zeppelin: with the disk manager of windows for example
[10:46] <erUSUL> Zeppelin: or with the ubuntu livecd
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: you wont need pae is all
[10:46] <alberto> legend2440 It's very strange, isn't it?
[10:46] <Zeppelin> The problem is erUSUL i dont have my windows disk...
[10:47] <Zeppelin> it came with the laptop
[10:47] <legend2440> alberto: yes  can I pm?
[10:47] <alberto> legend2440 Excuse me?
[10:47] <alberto> legend2440 Can you what?
[10:47] <legend2440> alberto: private message?
[10:47] <alberto> legend2440 Of course
[10:47] <alberto> legend2440 Go on
[10:48] <plustax_> okay guys. quick issue. my computer is on. I plug in my lcd tv to it with a dvi cable. It looks great. I restart, and my tv says not compatible with signal. so I plug the monitor back in. Fine.
[10:48] <X-Sleepy-X> The problem is that I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my mothers Compaq Evo N800v. She has fairly new hard drive in it since the last one were about to break. No problems with the new disk. But now it gets really weird in Ubuntu 9.10 with ext4 instead of ext3, haven't tried 9.10 with ext3 yet, sometimes it's like if the HDD gets "removed" and the menu get fucked up and so does the letters on it.
[10:48] <plustax_> How do I make it so I can JUST use my tv as a monitor?
[10:48] <erUSUL> Zeppelin: and you can not gennrate a installcd on the laptop ?
[10:48] <Zeppelin> I can a recovery disk?
[10:48] <erUSUL> Zeppelin: maybe; really dunno. ask in ##windows
[10:48] <jeffjeffdejeff> ActionParsnip: so it should work "out of the box" so to speak?
[10:48] <ope> is therea way to resolve a host name by ip, if the entry is in /etc/hosts - the host is localted in LAN, no nameservice there.
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: yes it will be fine
[10:49] <jeffjeffdejeff> ActionParsnip: i love you.
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> plustax_: set a lower display then increase to something higher
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: so does my lady :D
[10:49] <jeffjeffdejeff> ActionParsnip: probably not for your linux skills though.
[10:50] <konman> lol
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: unfortunately not
[10:50] <erUSUL> ope: if the ip and name are in /etc/hosts then it will resolve just fine
[10:51] <ope> erUSUL: I need it for a bashscript
[10:51] <smegzor1> I have ubuntu 9.10 installed on a usb stick.  Is there any way to transfer it to virtualbox?  Ideally I could copy the casper-rw file into virtualbox so that I can tinker with it there.
[10:51] <erUSUL> ope: right
[10:51] <ope> I n´know only the ip and want to use ssh on it
[10:52] <samaelszafran> Hi.
[10:52] <samaelszafran> I need very quick help.
[10:52] <konman> smegzor1: which vbox version?
[10:52] <Kamokow> Firefox randomly started saying - Shiretoko, after page titles instead of Mozilla Firefox... umm, why?
[10:52] <erUSUL> ope: all network apps accept ip or hostnames «ssh ip»
[10:52] <trijntje> samaelszafran, just ask, if youre lucky someon can help you
[10:52] <samaelszafran> I tried to make my own kernel, to a package. However, ubuntu screwed 'make oldconfig', and te package can't be installed, with some errors. Now, when I try to install anything from apt, it tries to install this kernel, and of course - fails.
[10:53] <samaelszafran> trijntje: (I'm asking, just trying to pack it in one message ;) )
[10:53] <qt-x> hy all
[10:53] <samaelszafran> so, how could I 'clear' apt some way?
[10:53] <smegzor1> konman: 3.1.0
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> samaelszafran: sudo apt-get clean
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> samaelszafran: cleans out the old debs from updates and upgrades
[10:53] <samaelszafran> nope, it doesn't work.
[10:54] <ope> erUSUL: ok, I will try it , thanks :-)
[10:54] <jeffjeffdejeff> ActionParsnip: Thanks for your help.  I'm off to try and backup my home dir.
[10:54] <smegzor1> konman: the proprietory version with usb support, not the OSE version.
[10:54] <samaelszafran> ActionParsnip: I did 'apt-get clean' from root - still when I try to install sth, it tries to install my kernel first.
[10:54] <elpigeondindo> yop yop
[10:54] <elpigeondindo> someone can help me to install ubuntu 9.10

[10:54] <elpigeondindo> ? ? ?
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> samaelszafran: sounds like you have something else afoot. can you use http://pastebin.com   to give the output of: sudo apt-get lean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[10:55] <samaelszafran> ActionParsnip: apt-get clean gives no output.
[10:55] <lolmaus^> I'm a heavy Windows user running Intel P55, GeForce GTX 275, Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty. Will i face serious trouble switching for Ubuntu as a desktop OS? I've never been using linux on desktop, though i have some linux server experience.
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> samaelszafran: it doesnt, in linux if you get no output then it was a success
[10:56] <samaelszafran> ActionParsnip: so, wait - I've got polish terminal, I'll try to translate it for you.
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> lolmaus^: the Creative cards can be a pain, the rest is great (especialy nvidia)
[10:56] <samaelszafran> apt-get clean gives no output
[10:56] <samaelszafran> I do then, for example, apt-get install fluxbox

[10:57] <elpigeondindo> why i can see my hard drive in gparted but not in the installation ? can someone know why ?
[10:57] <samaelszafran> (because the package is broken)
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> samaelszafran: thats the bit i need, we need to see why its failing and the messages. Yuo saying "it fails" isnt helpful
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | lolmaus^
[10:58] <samaelszafran> ActionParsnip: I can tell you why it fails - because it's broken. Make oldconfig tried to do something wrong. Okay, I'll paste it for you, just give me a sefond
[10:58] <samaelszafran> ActionParsnip: however, I'd like it to stop trying to install it again everytime i run apt
[10:58] <alberto> Hello

[11:00] <elpigeondindo> i'm going crazy, ubuntu is not so easy to install. Windows is more easy

[11:00] <samaelszafran> ActionParsnip: okay, however
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> elpigeondindo: do you have a support question
[11:01] <samaelszafran> why does it keep trying to install it again and again?
[11:01] <samaelszafran> I tried to install it using dpkg -i, it failed, so now I'd like to get my apt back working again.
[11:01] <elpigeondindo> ActionParsnip: yes
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> samaelszafran: not sure, maybe its compiled badly, i suggest you remove your custom kernel
[11:01] <alabd> would someone explain "80 0 1 2 3 4 5 6" in update-rc.d ipmasq stop 80 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 . ( man update-rc.d has been read before)
[11:01] <elpigeondindo> ActionParsnip: i see my hard drive in gparted but i can't see it in the installation
[11:02] <samaelszafran> ActionParsnip: it isn't installed, how could I remove it?
[11:03] <samaelszafran> ActionParsnip: it failed to install so it isn't installed.

[11:06] <samaelszafran> ActionParsnip: just one more question - do you know any, actually, working tutorial about compiling own kernels in ubuntu?
[11:06] <elpigeondindo> ActionParsnip: i don't see my hard drive in the install but i see it in gparted ?
[11:06] <mka> craig, do you have cups
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> samaelszafran: never done it outside of gentoo
[11:06] <samaelszafran> ActionParsnip: I'm used to bsds kernels, it's a bit easier in there - but I have to make a ubuntu kernel.
[11:06] <samaelszafran> mhm...
[11:07] <samaelszafran> ActionParsnip: thanks anyway.
[11:07] <craig> mka, its listed as installed in the package manager

[11:11] <lsolesen> I have a ubuntu 9.10 setup. Originally I installed it on a raid controller with two disks. However, for some reason it would not boot up after installation. I moved the disks to the regular SATA-controller and it booted with no problems. However, now I want to remove one of the disks, as it should not be used anymore. But no matter which disk I move, I cannot boot the computer anymore. It comes to grub, and goes for the ubuntu logo, but after a while th
[11:12] <erUSUL> alabd: K -> kill and S -> start
[11:12] <erUSUL> alabd: 80 marks the order K80-whatever will be executed after K70-whatever
[11:13] <erUSUL> alabd: for example see « ls /etc/rc1.d/ »
[11:13] <alabd> ok
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: indeed except stuff in wine
[11:14] <plustax> so can anyone help me with my issue?

[11:17] <alabd> erUSUL: so that number shows which process will be kill or stop after os loading ?

[11:26] <fuzzy_> i'm looking for a distro that has gcc and simple desktop. it will be used om an older laptop with 256 ram, 1.1 ghz. Preferably som ubuntu derivative. Anyone have a pointer?
[11:26] <erUSUL> plustax: no one knows; i've never plugged any computer to a LCD TV
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> plustax: did the lower resolution not help?
[11:26] <aaron11> Lol! who would do that
[11:26] <erUSUL> fuzzy_: xubuntu 8.04
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> plustax: if you attatch the screen and restart X does it display?
[11:27] <plustax> ActionParsnip thank you sir. I wasn't able to lower the resolution
[11:27] <fuzzy_> thanks
[11:27] <plustax> whats weird is I go into display and it recognized the tv. But now when I plug it in it says not compatible. I'm wondering if it's maybe a driver issue?
[11:27] <erUSUL> fuzzy_: or maybe dsl linux is better
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> plustax: you lower it with the monitor attatched, then switch to the device you want to stay with
[11:28] <plustax> okay lemme try that
[11:28] <fuzzy_> ok, I can has gcc on dsl. great. does it have security updates?
[11:29] <AlexisM> hi, i've successfully installed karmic on a ASUS x90s laptop. Since it's not reported in the tested list I think a report could be helpful, where should I send it ?
[11:29] <plustax> ActionParsnip I don't even know how to use it. It sent me to nvidia's configuration.
[11:29] <erUSUL> AlexisM: there is a menu entry in System>administration> that does that autmatically
[11:30] <kinja-sheep> plustax: You should see the second monitor symbol display in X Serer Display Configuration (second line in NVIDIA X Server Settings).
[11:31] <AlexisM> erUSUL, do you mean the system test tool ?
[11:31] <plustax> kinja-sheep oh okay
[11:31] <plustax> what should I set it at?
[11:31] <plustax> It will be connected with a dvi or hdmi cable.
[11:32] <plustax> whichever you think will work better.
[11:32] <kinja-sheep> plustax: Whatever works for you. You probably want TwinView.
[11:32] <erUSUL> AlexisM: yes (my menu is in spanish)
[11:32] <plustax> well I'm going to be getting rid of this monitor
[11:32] <plustax> or rather giving it back to my roommate so I will be running the tv solely.
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> plustax: if you run: gksudo nvidia-settings      you can set a low res in xorg.conf, when you get the display on you can then set a higher res, you may find you need to res the refresh rates for the display in xorg.conf too
[11:32] <AlexisM> it doesn't allow to explain what changes have been made to the the system to make it work
[11:33] <erUSUL> AlexisM: make a wiki page in http://wiki.ubuntu.com ??
[11:33] <kinja-sheep> plustax: I don't see why you can't connect using both DVI + HDMI (Just for now) until you're able to connect to the TV solely without the extra cable.
[11:33] <plustax> ActionParsnip : I appreciate the help just now, but no habla arabic. I'm so new to linux and I'm sorry to hassle you guys. Just trying to get this to work so my and my girlfriend can watch a movie
[11:34] <bogdan_> Hello Chaps
[11:34] <plustax> hmm ill try lowering the resolution now
[11:34] <plustax> then if that works i just restart it and see if the changes took place?
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> plustax: if you click the detect displays button in nvidia-settings, detatch the monitor, attatch the screen then press the space bar does it jump into life?
[11:36] <plustax> it doesn't, no
[11:36] <plustax> just tried that
[11:36] <neezer> anyone here ever play cribbage from BSD Games?

[11:40] <fuzzy_> is there a list or script of things that can safely be uninstalled from ubuntu while still having a booting system with package manager?

[11:41] <Blackthorn> I want to make a shortcut to run a program as root, but I'd rather not use sudo as that requires a console to be opened and run for the entire session, is there a command simalar to sudo that works in xwindows?
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> |Dreams|: tried gtkpod?
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> Blackthorn: edit the launcher and put: gksudo   at the start of it
[11:41] <|Dreams|> yeah no dice it works with every version excpet new nano 5th gens, even compiled form git still no luck
[11:41] <Blackthorn> Ah! Thanks :)
[11:41] <erUSUL> !gksudo | Blackthorn

[11:42] <|Dreams|> when i mount as partition it doesnt show any files on it says there is no songs etc due to new encrption on new ipods apperently

[11:43] <|Dreams|> will give amarok a try
[11:43] <zamba> ActionParsnip: but i need <2.6.31

[11:44] <bogdan_> brilliant
[11:44] <bogdan_> :)
[11:44] <plustax> what do I do to get that working?
[11:44] <zamba> |Dreams|: but why is there no >2.6.28 kernels available?
[11:44] <|Dreams|> there is somewhere
[11:44] <bogdan_> ActionParsnip: seems it is quite fast for me
[11:44] <|Dreams|> just dont have the time to look for you, having an argument with my ipod
[11:44] <|Dreams|> :)
[11:45] <plustax> okay
[11:45] <plustax> ActionParsnip I got it to work with hdmi!! :D
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> bogdan_: you will need to use the old updates to get to hardy, to then jump to intrepid to then jump to jaunty to then jump to karmic
[11:45] <plustax> now ill try to restart
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> plustax: nice
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> zamba: maybe you need a different repo then

[11:52] <ActionParsnip> PH_ZOM: the settings will stand as they are in $HOME
[11:53] <PH_ZOM> clean install, as I otherwise will have to run upgrade several times.

[11:53] <capon> help pliz: http://pastebin.com/m7b9fbd4f
[11:53]  * yupyup peeps out from behind bill gates and co
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> PH_ZOM: then you will need to use custom partitioning in the installer, simply mark your current / partition for formatting as ext4 and mark the /home partition to NOT be formatted but be used as /home. You will also need to tell the installer that it is ext3 so that fstab is populated properly
[11:54] <|Dreams|> yupyup, its no tillterate its just different
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> PH_ZOM: the swap space will not need to be touched
[11:55] <|Dreams|> instead of point click done its learn point click type done
[11:55] <|Dreams|> lol
[11:55] <|Dreams|> all good :)
[11:56] <PH_ZOM> ActionParsnip: thanks, understood.
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> PH_ZOM: remember to backup any important conf files you may have editted in /etc like smb.conf or xorg.conf etc etc
[11:56] <capon> help pliz: http://pastebin.com/m7b9fbd4f
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> PH_ZOM: you will need to evaluate what you need there
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> PH_ZOM: you can also backup your sources.list file too
[11:56] <aPanDa> is there a good upd connection testing tool? i have a udp based gameserver running on 8.04 minimal and it randomly disconnect everyone :<
[11:56]  * yupyup waves
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> PH_ZOM: some of the repos may still benefit you in the new install
[11:57] <bogdan_> I must say apt-get and the whole apt set of tools is brilliant
[11:57] <aPanDa> randomly disconnects*
[11:57] <PH_ZOM> ok, /etc is only 18MB in size, so complete backup no problem.
[11:58] <MorphyNOR> bogdan_: dont forget wget and dpkg :P
[11:58] <MorphyNOR> PH_ZOM: /etc is just a bunch of config files
[11:58] <bogdan_> :)

[11:59] <zamba> argh.. what has happened to ubuntu's sysV?
[11:59] <zamba> i want to stop apparmor from running at boot up.. how do i do that?
[11:59] <pawl> hi guys my brother has messed up my linux partition andd I'm getting no further than grub where its stating error 17
[12:00] <zamba> no symlink from init.d into the corresponding runlevel
[12:00] <pawl> What do I do?
[12:00] <PH_ZOM> do I need the amd64.iso file for an Intel core2duo cpu? (confusing filename)
[12:00] <bogdan_> be back soon
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> pawl: wat does error 17 mean?
[12:00] <S0LIDUS> where is my kernels .conf located
[12:01] <szpuni> did anybody had any problem with karmic hanging when typing in shell??
[12:01] <SwedeMike> PH_ZOM: amd64 is 64bit for intel+amd
[12:01] <pawl> Yeh and how do I fix it?
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> pawl: so you havent even looked yourself?
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> pawl: let me see
[12:01] <pawl> All I have is my mobile and the internet is slow as
[12:02] <pawl> I would search the internet but I can't boot into linux
[12:02] <pawl> Thanks actionparsnip
[12:04] <pawl> To be honest I think its my partition or menu.lst

[12:05] <ActionParsnip> pawl: you can use interactive grub to get the system booted hopefully
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> pawl: also make sure your bios is setup properly to boot the drive with grub
[12:06] <sKreeM> msgd you pawl
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> pawl: you may want to boot to livecd to run an fsck on yor partition to make sure its healthy
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> pawl: you may also want to ask wat the kid was actually up to
[12:08] <pawl> I only have an 9.04 live cd but I'm on karmic could I fsck with that?
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> pawl: i think so, can anyone please confirm
[12:09] <jeffjeffdejeff> i used a jaunty disc on an ibex install
[12:09] <Boggie> ActionParsnip: well seems apt-get crashed.. ;)
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: karmic uses ext4 by default, jaunty doesnt which is why im askin :D
[12:10] <jeffjeffdejeff> :)
[12:10] <mka> pawl, ActionParsnip, I think you can. because you can create ext4 on jaunty
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> mka: good enough for me
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> pawl: sure, try it
[12:11] <pawl> Do I have to mount the drive from a live cd? And if so what should I put into the terminal?
[12:11] <jeffjeffdejeff> actionparsnip: ahh, that might be another question for you then - my install of 64b is gonna be 9.04 (for mythtv database schema reasons) still think i should use ext4?
[12:11] <mka> pawl, dont fsck a mounted partition
[12:12] <pawl> That's what he's done then he said he tried an fsck in recovery mode
[12:13] <jillsmitt> about disks, when i have bad sectors HDD, can i fix or exclude them and create stable fs?
[12:13] <jillsmitt> what software can do that?
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: should be fine with either
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> jillsmitt: the drive is dying. i suggest you buy a new one asap
[12:14]  * jillsmitt is calling 911
[12:14] <mka> pawl, do you want to recover grub?
[12:14] <aPanDa> is there a good upd connection testing tool? i have a udp based gameserver running on 8.04 minimal and it randomly disconnects everyone while the ssh to the server doesnt disconnect
[12:15] <Slart> jillsmitt: usually bad sectors is kind of like seeing the headlights on the highway.. don't spend to much time on trying to fix it.. I agree with ActionParsnip fully.. get a new drive.. start backing stuff up
[12:15] <jillsmitt> okay i understand
[12:15] <jeffjeffdejeff> actionparsnip:  here's another thought that struck me.  i have two hdds that will be going into my new machine, as it's dual boot.  how can i find out which drive grub is installed on, and will my new installation of the 64b OS mess anything up booting wise?
[12:15] <ignotus> hello
[12:15] <pawl> Yeh I think the problem is my partition has errors which is causing grub to return an error, mka I'm on the live cd now how do I fsck from here?
[12:15] <Slart> jillsmitt: I think the drive automatically sets a sector as bad if it's misbehaving.. have a look at the s.m.a.r.t info
[12:16] <arkane> hello
[12:16] <Guest55096> #gp2x.de
[12:16] <jillsmitt> Slart: need i some special software to install?
[12:16] <Boggie> seems adding the debianutils package failed
[12:17] <Slart> jillsmitt: nope.. if you're running karmic you can go to system, administration, disk utility to see smart info
[12:17] <mka> pawl: sudo e2fsck -fyvD /dev/devicename
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> the BIOS will be set to boot the new drive and they will most likely be different
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: ^
[12:17] <Boggie> it was unable to overwrite add-shell
[12:17] <Slart> jillsmitt: badblocks and fsck (which is another way of avoiding bad places on the hard drive should already be installed)
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: once you get the new one booted with the old drive in, mark it as not bootable using gparted or fdisk etc
[12:17] <mka> pawl, ensure that you dont fsck a mounted partition, please
[12:17] <ActionParsnip> !info debianutils
[12:18] <nosk1o> There's a missing package on karmic - "glade-3" - http://packages.ubuntu.com/glade-3 - it is a development package and I need it on karmic machine. Where can I find information about this being missing?
[12:18] <nyha_> Anyone here that know of any tools for opening and editing PDF's ?
[12:18] <monra> Hello. Is there a way I can block my computer(I use Ubuntu 8.10) of getting in some specific webpages?
[12:18] <sharktooth19> hello
[12:18] <jillsmitt> i dont understand, this HDD is 2 years old
[12:18] <jeffjeffdejeff> actionparsnip:  not sure i follow you old bean.
[12:18] <Boggie> yes well it seems unable to install that particular package
[12:18] <pawl> Its saying something about the superblock being invalid
[12:18] <nosk1o> nyha_: inkscape can open pdfs
[12:19] <Boggie> I can't even copy-paste the message as I ended up in shell-mode
[12:19] <sharktooth19> monra:maybe if you change the hosts file to point to 127.0.0.1. I don't know the detail in u
[12:19] <Slart> jillsmitt: these things are kind of like radioactive decay.. you never know when it will strike.. your drive could fail after a month.. or after 1 year.. or 10 years
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: well the old drive has a little flag saying it is bootable, you can remove this so it doesnt try again even if you acidentally tell the bios to try and boot it
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: if the drive is going to go BACK in the old system then DON'T do this
[12:19] <Slart> jillsmitt: I recently replaced a drive that was a little over 2 years old.. while I have several drives that are much older still running
[12:19] <jillsmitt> Slart: unbelievable
[12:19] <Boggie> is there any way to get over such apt-get errors?
[12:20] <sampo> hello there
[12:20] <pawl> Mka, what's the effect of fsck on a mounted partition?
[12:20] <jeffjeffdejeff> actionparsnip:  it's not an old drive, i'm just putting the new OS over the 32b one
[12:20] <sharktooth19> does anyone know how to get audio in karmic koala
[12:20] <sampo> I have a question regarding fedora core 10...
[12:20] <jeffjeffdejeff> ....actionparsnip: on the same drive
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> Boggie: can you use: http://pastebin.com   to give the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:20] <Slart> sampo: which you, of course, will be asking in a fedora oriented channel...
[12:20] <sampo> how do I install wifi drivers?
[12:20] <sampo> where is that?
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: on the original drive, as when you put the drive back in (and matrked not bootable) the system will not load up
[12:20] <Boggie> ActionParsnip: let me see if i have any text based web browser
[12:21] <pawl> Sharktooth I had a problem with audio it turned out menu.lst was loading an old kernel
[12:21] <mka> pawl, I was told by experienced guys that it is not generally safe to fsck a partition while it is mounted unless you know what you are doing.
[12:21] <Slart> sampo: well..  google might be able to help you with that
[12:21] <_ruben> !info glade-3
[12:21] <sampo> thanx
[12:21] <_ruben> !info glade
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> Boggie: if you can, install pastebinit
[12:21] <Boggie> let me try...
[12:22] <sharktooth19> sampo: you might try system,administration,hardware drivers. connect to the net and let ubuntu detect. If you lucky thats it
[12:22] <jillsmitt> !info dia
[12:22] <pawl> sharktooth uname -r and paste it in here
[12:22] <jillsmitt> cool
[12:22] <Slart> sharktooth19: he was asking how to do it in Fedora...
[12:23] <sharktooth19> pawl:2.6.32.2-custom , note the audio did not work after upgrade not after custom
[12:23] <monra> sharktooth19: Well, by searching in google i have seen that adding a line like this "0.0.0.0 www.webpage.com" you won't be able to visit that site. But I did it and it doesn't work:S

[12:24] <moobie> Hi. How do I manually remove a kernel not installed by the packaging manager?
[12:24] <jillsmitt> i always have error message with brasero: Some files may be corrupted on the disk. This happens after successfull burn. What is this? How can i fix it?
[12:24] <Boggie> Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/debianutils_2.28.2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[12:25] <Boggie> that's the message i get.
[12:25] <Slart> obaid: it's probably a grub setting... check in /boot/grub/grub.cfg  perhaps.. I'm not sure how the new grub does its thing
[12:25] <Boggie> sorry i had to type in manually
[12:25] <sharktooth19> monra:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3145 , this is a firefox add on that allows you to block websites or your choice
[12:25] <moobie> Slart, every grub setting should be in /etc/default/grub
[12:25] <moobie> or ssomething similar
[12:26] <Slart> obaid: ah.. as moobie said.. check in /etc/default/grub .. might be a better place
[12:26] <Slart> moobie: thanks
[12:26] <monra> sharktooth19: well thank you for your time :) But I was looking for something that will block visiting a web page from Firefox, Chrome and Konqueror
[12:26] <pawl> Sharktooth does your uname-r correlate to the kernal in your menu.lst?
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> obaid: reboot, press e to edit the boot option in grub and remove the splash part
[12:26] <moobie> Slart, np :-)
[12:26] <obaid> Thanks all
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> Slart: easier to use e in grub for a one shot remove
[12:26] <piggy_> anyone know of a way to make an iso bootable on a flashdrive from ubuntu?
[12:27] <Boggie> you can install unetbootin
[12:27] <legend2440> obaid: in terminal  gksudo /etc/default/grub    look for line   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"  remove  quit splash  save file  then run in terminal    sudo update-grub
[12:27] <obaid> ActionParsnip, once i edit from grub at boot time, changes are permanent /
[12:27] <obaid> ?
[12:27] <Boggie> it's a program that makes bootable flash drives
[12:27] <piggy_> thanks Boggie !
[12:27] <aaron11> can someone give me the link to the default wallpaper for Interpid
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> obaid: no just for that bootup
[12:27] <obaid> ok, thanks legend2440
[12:27] <nux> +1
[12:27] <legend2440> obaid: in terminal  gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub    look for line   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"  remove  quit splash  save file  then run in terminal    sudo update-grub
[12:27] <pawl> Mka I ran an fsck with the live disk and it got past frub but now its frozen just after the white ubuntu logo with an underscore in the top corner
[12:27] <moobie> Someone know where do remove a kernel, which has been installed without the packagemanager?
[12:27] <legend2440> forgot  gedit
[12:27] <sharktooth19> monra:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=384866 , there you go
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> moobie: you can still use apt-get unless it wasnt installed using a deb
[12:28] <_eMaX_1> hello all
[12:28] <moobie> ActionParsnip, it wasn't
[12:28] <sharktooth19> pawl:sorry i didn't see your message
[12:28] <moobie> ActionParsnip, and sudo make uninstall doesn't work unfortunetaly
[12:28] <obaid> no such dir /etc/default/grub
[12:28] <_eMaX_1> can I, in ubuntu/gnome, somehow define that a window that I'm running from the command line shall always have the en_US keyboard layout, regardless of what I've set as layout currently?
[12:29] <sharktooth19> pawl:and yes, i do believe the uname -r correlates to krn in my menu.list
[12:29] <legend2440> obaid: did you upgrade to karmic or clean install?
[12:29] <monra> sharktooth19: thank you very much :)P
[12:29] <Boggie> well seems i can't get over this install issue...
[12:29] <pawl> Sharktooth that was the problem I had with audio
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> moobie: if you can find a package for the kernel you can install it then uninstall it to remove the stuff
[12:29] <obaid> got it
[12:30] <pawl> Actionparsnip I fixed the grub problem its now a case of it freezes just after the white ubuntu logo
[12:30] <pawl> Any ideads?
[12:30] <moobie> ActionParsnip, well its a homemade custom compiled kernel. So I don't think so. There is just no wau I can remove the kernel it seems
[12:31] <obaid> done, i will see next reboot, thanks ActionParsnip, legend2440, Slart
[12:31] <sharktooth19> pawl: is there a fix
[12:31] <moobie> initramfs wants to update it, even it has been deleted
[12:31] <jeffjeffdejeff> actionparsnip: sorry, i need clarification (again) :) i have two drives in this machine, both of which will be transfered into my new machine.  one drive has nothing but xp on it, and the other drive has nothing but my current 32b jaunty on it, which will be replaced by 64b Jaunty.  what do I have to do to ensure grub sees and allows me to choose either xp or ubuntu to boot into? (take your time over this one - i can see you're busy)
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> moobie: could ask in #kernel
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: if you have your XP drive in, when you install the system and install the new grub to the system it will see the other drive and nosey at it to see if its bootable, then add the right options to grub
[12:32] <jatt> I'm trying to use ubuntu one from karmic but I get the message:
[12:32] <jatt> "Capabilities mismatch with the server"
[12:32] <jatt> How do I fix this.
[12:32] <paulus68> how to do a dist upgrade from CLI
[12:32] <moobie> ActionParsnip, actually its a initramfs problem it seems:
[12:32] <moobie> Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
[12:32] <moobie> update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.33-rc2-radeonkms

[12:32] <paulus68> from server edition 8.10 to 9.10
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: I would keep the data drive out until you get square, you can then copy the stuff over
[12:33] <jeffjeffdejeff> actionparsnip: ace. cheers
[12:33] <Boggie> paulus68: i'm having upgrade issues myself ...damn apt-get unable to replace files
[12:33] <jeffjeffdejeff> actionparsnip: datadrive being the one i've backedup /home to?
[12:34] <paulus68> Boggie: I need to find out first how to start before I can judge on that, want to have the NFS installed but this is not working correctly on 8.10
[12:34] <Boggie> ah.. i am simply having problems with a package replace.
[12:34] <Boggie> it fails for some reason
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> jeffjeffdejeff: just go slow and think about whats going on as you do it and you will be ok
[12:36] <paulus68> I know that you have to adapt the sourcelist but don't what exactly and when I do a dist upgrade then I get error messages as well
[12:37] <jeffjeffdejeff> actionparsnip: you say that, i have the uncanny ability to screw things up very easily.  unfortunately for you, that means that all my preparation questions have landed on your lap!  much appreciated.
[12:37] <chazco> Hi... since my sound card isn't supported i'm going to have to buy a new one... any suggestions on a card that supports 5.1 on Ubuntu?

[12:38] <Boggie> DAMN debian utils
[12:38] <pawl> Does anyone know if having a swap file in menu.lst could make ubuntu freeze on boot?
[12:38] <iceroot> pawl: a swap-file in menu.lst? never seen something like that
[12:38] <paulus68> and I am tempted (but not prepared to take that step due to complex iptables config) to start from scratch but rather do a dist upgrade
[12:38] <mka> chazco, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsSoundCards
[12:39] <pawl> Hrm its strange
[12:39] <chazco> mka - Thanks :)
[12:39] <pawl> Ubuntu is freezing on boot and I have no idea why
[12:40] <mka> pawl, are you using GRUB2 or Grub Legacy?
[12:40] <pawl> It says grub1.5 when it boots
[12:41] <mka> pawl, you are on karmic
[12:41] <mka> pawl, you are using ubuntu 9.10?
[12:41] <pawl> It freezes right after the white ubuntu logo and there's an underscore in the top corner
[12:41] <pawl> Yeh I'm on karmic
[12:41] <clathrate> sup all,  sorry for a noob question...  So I have compiled my own emacs from source, but I haven't run make install yet.  I have emacs from Ubuntu, installed with the package manager.  Or apt-get install or whatever.  What's the general workflow here?  Do I uninstall from the package manager before I make install?  That seems right somehow.  But what seems to happen is that as I learn unixy things, and do them myself, I get more into conflict with the U
[12:41] <clathrate> buntu hand holding stuff...  I'm waffling a bit but I guess I'm not sure how it's gonna go, mixing packages and source compiled stuff...
[12:42] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: a penny for your thoughts what do I need to do to do a dist upgrade from server edition 8.10 to 9.10 and if possible make sure that all the errors are gone?
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> clathrate: i would remove the old first
[12:42] <mka> pawl, you are probably using grub2, I don't understand why you once mentioned anything about menu.lst
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | paulus68
[12:42] <clathrate> ActionParsnip:  I thought so.
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: you will need a little stop at jaunty first
[12:42] <dmarkey_> is there away to force the installation of grub1 with preeseed?
[12:43] <mka> pawl, try to disable the splash screen and make ubuntu to print boot messages if you can
[12:43] <legend2440> clathrate: instead of make install you could use  checinstall to create a deb file
[12:43] <elpigeondindo> i have a problem for installing 9.10on a maxtor ? can someone know how ?
[12:43] <legend2440> checkinstall
[12:43] <Dicekid> Hi, does someone know what to do if no player plays an audio-CD?
[12:43] <clathrate> legend2440: what's the benefit of that?
[12:43] <Boggie> blasted Debian Utils :(
[12:43] <pawl> Mka it comes up with something about mountall
[12:44] <pawl> Then it freezes
[12:44] <legend2440> clathrate: it adds it to synaptic easier uninstall
[12:44] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: does this upgrade cleans up broken packages to ?just to be safe before I get screwed in the process
[12:44] <mka> pawl, pastebin any relevant boot messages so we can have a clue
[12:45] <clathrate> legend2440: hmm I suppose that's true, I can uninstall packages but maybe there's no make uninstall from source
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: you will need to have a squared up set of packages first
[12:45] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: please explain
[12:45] <legend2440> clathrate: well i usually delete the sources after i'm done compiling but up to you
[12:45] <elpigeondindo> ActionParsnip: what can i do to force the install on a HDD that it doesn't see ?
[12:46] <mka> Dicekid, tried using totem or rhythmbox ?
[12:46] <apanda> i have a udp based gameserver running on 8.04 minimal and it randomly disconnects everyone while the ssh connection to the server doesnt disconnect - any pointers?
[12:46] <clathrate> legend2440: ah right, so make uninstall would work, but only if I keep the sources
[12:46] <legend2440> clathrate: yes
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> elpigeondindo: not sure, check your bios detects it. you may need bootoptions for the livecd
[12:47] <Dicekid> mka Rhythmbox doesn't even see the audio-CD, tried amarok and kaffeine, too. They recognise CD but don't play it either.
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: the upgrader wont act if you have missing or broken packages
[12:47] <pawl> I can't pastebin because I'm on my phone but I think its to do with the ubuntu trying to fsck on boot
[12:48] <elpigeondindo> ActionParsnip: bios is ok, gparted see my HDD, but in install i don't see it
[12:48] <OerHeks> Dicekid did you install ubuntu restricted extraś ?
[12:48] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: ok at this point it gives me error message on the nfs common utilities how to get rid of that?
[12:48] <mka> Dicekid, are you on KDE?
[12:49] <jacquesdupontd> i am
[12:49] <jacquesdupontd> any question ?
[12:49] <Dicekid> mka yes, I'm on KDE, but the people there meant that it's a more general problem, that's why I asked here... :-)
[12:49] <Co0Ps> how do I connect to a wireless network using command line?
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: can you pastebin the error as well as the command you ran. You should also try: sudo apt-get -f install
[12:50] <Co0Ps> i don't have GUI installed
[12:50] <mr_e_panda> Quick question... I'm trying to instal proprietary drivers for my ATI All-in-Wonder 9800 pro for my ubuntu specific distro, but i'm getting some errors when building the package. any info?
[12:50] <Boggie> what reasons could the apt system have to fail replacing a package.
[12:50] <mka> Dicekid, have you ever played an audio cd before on your system?
[12:50] <pawl> Mka the problem is ubuntu trys to run an fsck on boot but it freezes up after it says those lines about codecs
[12:51] <Co0Ps> iwconfig essid "blah" key s:passw doesn't give me any errors but the internet doesn't work after that
[12:51] <mka> pawl, codecs?
[12:51] <Dicekid> mka under KDE, no. but when I had ubuntu on it, yes, and it worked. and windows still plays CDs...
[12:51] <mka> pawl, can you boot on recovery mode?
[12:51] <piggy_> anyone know the easiest way to format a usb stick to fat32?
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> piggy_: gksudo gparted
[12:51] <alankila> Co0Ps: essid setting can succeed without the connection working for some other reason.
[12:52] <piggy_> thanks ActionParsnip
[12:52] <Co0Ps> alankila: k. so how do I proceed?
[12:52] <alankila> Co0Ps: use network-manager.
[12:52] <pawl> Mka yeh I can boot into recovery
[12:52] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: this is the pastebin http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m309f4e51
[12:52] <Co0Ps> alankila: i don't have GUI
[12:52] <eddym> hi guys trying to backup my mbr
[12:52] <pawl> Mka I haven't a clue how to recover it though
[12:52] <eddym> how do i tell where it's located
[12:52] <elad`> The color on all my videos is off. Like a negative, or similar. But on the icons in gnome, it's ok. Help?
[12:52] <Co0Ps> i need to connect with command line
[12:53] <alankila> Well, I don't know how to set things up properly without it. I never figured out the wpa/wpa2 stuff and so on. When it was just wep I could still set the network with just iwconfig and dhclient.
[12:53] <Co0Ps> it's just WEP
[12:53] <Boggie> so not one person here had problems before with package replacement while upgrading or ..dist-upgrading?
[12:53] <Boggie> i'm trying to go the long way to upgrade from breezy,hardy then intrepid, jaunty then karmic
[12:53] <alankila> Co0Ps: well, in that case you would start by examining with "iwconfig" command after setting essid whether it associated. It has an access point set if it did work.
[12:53] <elad`> It's like that with ALL videos.
[12:53] <Co0Ps> alankila: it does
[12:54] <Real_Ubot> Is it possible to use a PC at home as a "proxy" connecting to it from a laptop by using ssh or something. I want to be able to use my PC as a link between Internet and my laptop. I also want the traffic to be secure, like ssh or something.
[12:54] <alankila> once access point is set, try to obtain ip address from it by running "dhclient <interface name>".
[12:54] <scott> hi, just installed koala. i have two screen. I have nominated the larger of the 2 to be on the left, however the tools bars are still on the right. How can i get the tools bars on the left side?
[12:54] <Co0Ps> alankila: i'm sending discovers with dhclient and doesn't get any response
[12:54] <mr_e_panda> n e one can help with proprietary drivers?
[12:54] <mka> pawl, boot on recovery mode, and do a CTRL+D do procede to the normal runlevel
[12:54] <alankila> Co0Ps: well, at that point I no longer know... try to tcpdump the interface to see if there's any traffic on it at all other than your dhcp requests
[12:54] <elad`> OK, I think I figured it out - there's no _red_ showing on the videos. Any videos. What could make THAT happen?
[12:54] <Co0Ps> alankila: iwconfig gives me the AP MAC address which I didn't set manually so I guess it's associated
[12:54] <Real_Ubot> I'm looking for a way to use mail, chat, Firefox etc at my laptop, always going through my PC at home. How do I do this?
[12:55] <ivan_> #juegos
[12:55] <mka> pawl, is your ubuntu system contained in one big partition or you have separate partitions that you have to mount?
[12:55] <pawl> Mka its in one big partition
[12:55] <pawl> I'm on tty1
[12:56] <mka> pawl, oh,
[12:56] <Scunizi> Real_Ubot: ssh is what you're looking for.  however if you want gui then you'll have to do ssh w/vnc or something.. google and read up on ssh usage..
[12:56] <mka> pawl, tty1 of your ubuntu system or of the liveCD?
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> Co0Ps: http://mediakey.dk/~cc/howto-use-wep-encryption-with-ubuntu-linux/

[12:57] <gharz> guys, i'm trying to rescue our windoze server using ubuntu... this server has RAID on it installed in an HP proliant server... i can run ubuntu live cd but it doesn't detect the local hard... how do i detect RAID? pls help
[12:57] <axz> Guys is it posible to delete PulseAudio and use Alsa?
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> !raid | gharz
[12:57] <axz> because i get errors like : pulseaudio[1957]: ratelimit.c: 111 events suppressed
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> gharz: why not restore data from backup
[12:57] <kevdog> Real_Ubot: You have two choices: A VNC type alternative, or tunneling an X session over SSH, or in the same vain using another remote desktop I can't remember the name of right now -- but its really fast
[12:57] <Co0Ps> ActionParsnip: can you make a bitly link plz?
[12:58] <Slart> axz: I'm not really sure if those are an issue.. I get them myself.. but my system works nicely
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> Co0Ps: i can make a pastebin if you wish?
[12:58] <Co0Ps> i have to type the whole link :p
[12:58] <axz> Slart, but PulseAudio is pain in the but in general as noticed
[12:58] <mka> pawl, what happens when you do a CTRL+D, are you going to go to a gdm screen and be able to log in fine?
[12:58] <kubanc> how do i update conky in ubuntu 8.04. My version now is 1.5.1. I added ppa from https://launchpad.net/~m-buck/+archive/conky, but the update is not working
[12:58] <Co0Ps> yea, but please shorten the url
[12:58] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: this is the pastebin http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m309f4e51
[12:59] <gharz> ActionParsnip: the windoze server is somewhat in bad condition. most of its system cores are not running. i just want to copy files to an external hard drive. Windoze could no longer copy and paste the files.
[12:59] <pawl> No mka it just takes me to tty1
[12:59]  * kevdog -- personal opinion -- Id stay as far away from pulseaudio as I could
[12:59] <Slart> axz: alsa is still there.. pulseaudio and alsa aren't alternatives.. pulseudio is a layer above alsa.. you can set stuff to use alsa instead of pulse.. it will still work
[12:59] <gharz> does ubuntu live cd support RAID?
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> Co0Ps: http://pastebin.com/m5f634ba1
[12:59] <eddym> ActionParsnip, which section is my mbr on http://pastebin.com/m37de60cc
[13:01] <kevdog> Real_Ubot: nxserver is the name of the program I couldn't think of -- Its really fast
[13:01] <kubanc> ok, my mistake, this ppa didn't had packages for conky...
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: let me search a bit
[13:02] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: ok
[13:02] <Dicekid> mka Btw, when I copy the files from the audio-CD to the harddisk, they can be played without problems. But not directly from the audio-CD.
[13:03] <O__o> hi what is the best choice for netbook?  netbook remix or xubuntu?
[13:03] <O__o> or can you have xubuntu netbook remix?
[13:03] <kubanc> how do i save lua script. what's the extension for the file?
[13:03] <yussef> i've problem
[13:03] <gharz> guys, does live CD supports RAID?
[13:04] <Dicekid> mka And I don't know if it makes some difference, but dolphine (KDE) shows me not only .wav files while nautilus (GNOME) shows only the .wav files.
[13:04] <mr_e_panda> how do i view the kernelconfig file? where is it located

[13:07] <kevdog> jason_: Sometimes there is an INSTALL text file that you can read, and other times you simply just type make.   It really depends on the program
[13:07] <legend2440> eddym: yes it does   fdisk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
[13:07] <mka> what are the correct permissions of /usr/bin/wodim ?

[13:11] <eddym> legend2440, copied 512, but where did the backup go? to file MBR-backup?
 okay .the problem is when i choose gnome to the pc freezing
[13:11] <legend2440> eddym: yes
[13:11] <legend2440> eddym: to restore would be   dd if=MBR-backup of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1
[13:11] <mka> grrrrrrrr!!!!
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> mka: wodim will burn from cli
[13:11] <mka> ActionParsnip, brasero just failed

[13:13] <dnivra> whois dnivra
[13:13] <eddym> legend2440, presume its in the http?
[13:13] <dnivra> sorry guys; that was my bad.
[13:13] <jason_> the program is the newest version of Thunderbird and I have extracted it
[13:13] <legend2440> eddym: i would just copy paste it to usb stick to have for emergencies
[13:13] <brapjohn> Hey if anyone can give me a hint why I don't have any sound on my ubuntu :P it would be most appriciated :D.
[13:14] <eddym> legend2440, i just to a search to find the backup file or?
[13:14] <pawl> Can anyone tell me wether a clean install would lose all my data on my hdd?
[13:15] <dnivra> !sound | brapjohn
[13:15] <legend2440> eddym: you dont see the file   called    MBR-backup?
[13:15] <Scunizi> pawl: if your /home is on a seperate partition and you don't format it on install then.. no you won't loose anything..
[13:15] <Co0Ps> okay. for some reason iwscan suddenly gives me "no scan results"
[13:15] <Co0Ps> i should be able to see at least 3 networks
[13:15] <brapjohn> Thanks :

[13:16] <Boggie> well this is foobar
[13:16] <Co0Ps> iwlist**
[13:16] <eddym> legend2440, not sure where it is.... ubuntu file system?
[13:16] <Boggie> I can't upgrade this system at all to hardy
[13:17] <Scunizi> Boggie: ?
[13:17] <pawl> Mka if I had a live cd of 9.10 do you think it would fix my problem?
[13:17] <legend2440> eddym: its in dir of wherever you ran the command   check /home/yourusername/
[13:17] <jason_> I cannot figure out how to install new Thunderbird from tarball!  grrr! I have it extracted, but everything the help file says ta do is not working! ./configure won't work and make anywhere won't work
[13:17] <om26er> well well
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> jason_: use the mozilla daily ppa
[13:17] <Scunizi> jason_: look for the repos for it..
[13:17] <Boggie> i have a laptop here running Breezy.. trying to bring it to a newer version
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> jason_: waaaay easier
[13:18] <mka> pawl, I really do not know
[13:18] <jason_> repos is old tho
[13:18] <jason_> I want the new one if at all possible
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> jason_: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa
[13:18] <eddym> legend2440, yeah, just had to change the option for hidden and backup file..
[13:18] <Scunizi> Boggie: do you have a seperate /home partition?
[13:18] <Boggie> nope
[13:18] <Boggie> not on a different filesystem
[13:18] <jason_> what is ppa?
[13:18] <Scunizi> Boggie: do you have enough hd space to make one and move your data there?
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> jason_: that is te mozilla teams daily build ppa, so is most likely newer than your file
[13:18] <om26er> !ppa | jason_
[13:18] <Boggie> nope.
[13:18] <eddym> legend2440, i restored my mbr this am with clonezilla..
[13:18] <Boggie> and i don't have vital data on this laptop
[13:19] <Boggie> i already backed up
[13:19] <eddym> legend2440, but a PTAss
[13:19] <jason_> Gah!  Now I am thinking of Ducktales! Launchpad...heh
[13:19] <Scunizi> Boggie: no vital data.. backed up already.. just fresh install the entire thing
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> jason_: it has thunderbird 3 last compiled yesterday
[13:19] <Boggie> I don't have a cd burning utility on command line here
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> Boggie: install wodim
[13:19] <superpiiii> do people usually run subversin as root or as a normal system user?
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> !info wodim
[13:19] <legend2440> eddym: yea i use clonezilla  but the one time i let it restore the mbr it messed it up. i had to reinstall karmic and start over
[13:20] <jason_> Thanks everyone.  I will try this out.  I just wish I knew why I couldn't install this one
[13:20] <Scunizi> Boggie: got another machine? or use ActionParsnip 's link
[13:20] <eddym> legend2440, did full disk to disk copy
[13:20] <Boggie> damn .. seems it's unable to do it
[13:20] <Boggie> nope, no other machine
[13:20] <Boggie> just this laptop
[13:20] <Co0Ps> what should i apt-get to get GUI now?
[13:20] <Co0Ps> gnome?
[13:20] <Boggie> or kde ..whichever you prefer
[13:20] <Scunizi> Boggie: unetbootin and an iso and a usb stick
[13:21] <Co0Ps> i want the default gui that comes with ubuntu
[13:21] <eddym> legend2440, month ago i upgraded to a new internal hd 320 gb and decided to use the previous external as a backup drive got a 10 case made is usb works like a charm
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> jason_: you can also use it to get alpha versions of firefox if you want too
[13:21] <Boggie> I don't have a usb stick
[13:21] <om26er> Boggie, borrow from some1
[13:21] <Boggie> and this laptop is old.. i don't think it can boot from usb
[13:21] <eddym> legend2440, so i backed up everything with clonezilla and used in this morning... wanted to try to install triple OS with mac... but had issues
[13:21] <fishbao_> #ubuntu-cn
[13:22] <Scunizi> Co0Ps: what's installed now? server, cli only?  then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[13:22] <fishbao_> list
[13:22] <Scunizi> !install | Boggie
[13:22] <Co0Ps> i have a minimal install with basically nothing
[13:22] <legend2440> eddym: why did you need to backup mbr?  clonezilla does that
[13:22] <jason_> Why would I want an alpha version?  It would just crash.  I apologize if I am horribly ignorant
[13:22] <Scunizi> Co0Ps: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will get you a full system
[13:22] <Real_Ubot> kevdog: Ok, but do I really have to tunnel the GUI? Isn't it possible to just tunnel the trafik, not the complete graphics? I mena, instead of visitning a site directly, I want to use my PC at home as a lin to Internet, using it as a proxy server. So that no one will see the traffic between my laptop and my PC at home, while the site will recognize my ip address at home?
[13:22] <Boggie> I'd look at that if i had a web browser. i can't install anything due to apt having alot of broken dependencies to work with.
[13:23] <e01> hello
[13:23] <Co0Ps> okay, ubuntu-desktop works
[13:23] <eddym> legend2440, just in case i mess with mbr some more.. and didnt want to use clonezilla did you user symantec ghost before?
[13:23] <e01> i have a ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix
[13:23] <Co0Ps> so what should I run after install?
[13:23] <Co0Ps> X?
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> Co0Ps: you can also install lxde to get a slimmer OS
[13:23] <e01> but made one stupid mistake
[13:23] <e01> just try to install mac4lin
[13:23] <om26er> and faster
[13:23] <Scunizi> Boggie: you might have w3m installed as default
[13:23] <Co0Ps> size of of the essence
[13:23] <Co0Ps> is of*
[13:23] <e01> after uninstall it
[13:23] <Boggie> ah
[13:23] <e01> the pidgin have changes his default icons
[13:23] <legend2440> eddym: yes a long time ago  but i really like clonezilla now
[13:24] <Co0Ps> i don't care about looks, just want a minimal graphic gui that's as small as possible
[13:24] <e01> is there way to complete restore all icons as they was
[13:24] <Boggie> oh man .. if i could clean this... and finish the upgrade to hardy
[13:24] <Co0Ps> gonna take forever to download on this connection :P
[13:24] <e01> without to have reinstall the whole system
[13:24] <eddym> legend2440, same here i used it twice.. but didn't look at the options...
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> Co0Ps: then lxde will make a smaller system, you will need to install a DM too if you need graphical login
[13:24] <eddym> legend2440, of clonezilla
[13:24] <pawl> Is it possible to use a live cd to fix an installation?
[13:24] <legend2440> eddym: you on karmic?
[13:24] <eddym> legend2440, did you mess around with mac os on pc?
[13:24] <rbanffy> Hi folks. I think I can fix a bug by myself with a little bit of orientation from someone smarter than me (my monitor is not properly recognized by X). Anyone wants to help me out? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/486072
[13:24] <pawl> Like a system restore?
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> pawl: sure you can boot to it then chroot to the installed system to run commands
[13:25] <Real_Ubot> kevdog: When I use some kind of free proxy server, then I don't have to bother about X, will I? I only want to "forward" the traffic from my PC to my laptop over ssh. I will use Firefox at my laptop to visit the site.
[13:25] <legend2440> eddym: no never tried mac
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> pawl: the commands will be executed on the installed system ratehr than the live cd
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> not cd, system
[13:25] <Boggie> i can't even get wodim installed
[13:25] <Scunizi> Boggie: so no friends to help out with burning a cd.. no usb stick, no bowser for gui or cli, no seperate /home partiton.. man .. you're just stuck.. how did you manage to backup?
[13:26] <eddym> legend2440, wanted to add mac.. so that i can test it out... sometimes i have to support some corp.. and they have mac users.. so, it is a pain in the butt if you dont use mac and then need to jump on 1
[13:26] <pawl> So is that a no?
[13:26] <eddym> legend2440, i guess i can try using vm
[13:26] <Boggie> well i had nothing to lose so .. well backup was sending some files to the mobile phone
[13:26] <Boggie> couple of text files
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> pawl: yes you can boot to a nonbootable system and change it to make it boot
[13:27] <Scunizi> Boggie: the install link from ubottu has a net install option I think
[13:27] <Boggie> but still i need to burn a CD
[13:27] <Co0Ps> ActionParsnip: i took wlan0 down and up again and now it just has an ESSID (iwconfig) but is not associated to an AP. i have tried iwconfig essid and iwconfig key to sett essid and key, but it doesn't get associated. how can i see status of association etc?
[13:27] <eddym> legend2440, is there a good prg like partition magic for ubuntu?
[13:27] <Scunizi> Boggie: not with a net install.
[13:27] <Real_Ubot> kevdog: Instead of visiting the site directly I want to go by my PC at home to avoid sniffing of the traffic over a public Internet connection.
[13:27] <legend2440> eddym: i use  gparted
[13:27] <Co0Ps> want to debug this but have no idea how to proceed
[13:27] <Scunizi> Boggie: you can also request a free cd from cononical..
[13:27] <Co0Ps> some error messages and stuff could help
[13:28] <Boggie> i won't be here long enough here for it to arrive
[13:28] <Boggie> i'm on vacation
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> Co0Ps: iwconfig    on its own. If you run: sudo iwlist scan    do you see SSIDs?
[13:28] <Scunizi> Boggie: where are you at in the world?
[13:28] <Boggie> and for net boot i'd need pppoe set up
[13:28] <eddym> legend2440, ill have to try it
[13:28] <pawl> Thanks actionparsnip I will brun a live cd and give it a go, is there a command to do a full restore or something?
[13:28] <Boggie> Romania but i'm not in my home city now. i barely know anyone around..
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> pawl: not that I know of, you can run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop
[13:29] <ironfroggy> a particular usb storage device I attach is giving me filenames like "░╙╗▒0╞∞Ä.┤±î"
[13:29] <Co0Ps> ActionParsnip: yes, i see the network as Cell 01
[13:29] <Co0Ps> with the correct ESSID
[13:29] <ironfroggy> all others work. is there any kind of common problem this might be? i really dont think i can google for "░╙╗▒0╞∞Ä.┤±î" to find answers
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> Co0Ps: thats a good start
[13:29] <Scunizi> Boggie: do they have an internet cafe? or an electronics store that will help you out?  If you have the iso on your machine and they pull it off with a usb stick and burn to a cd that you buy from them
[13:30] <Boggie> none that are open. i already explored that option
[13:30] <Boggie> everyone's gone for the holidays
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> Co0Ps: i think wicd has a cli interface, you could use that
[13:30] <Co0Ps> ActionParsnip: ok, that would be perfect, brb
[13:31] <Scunizi> Boggie: introduce yourself to the next pretty girl you find sipping coffee and using a laptop
[13:31] <Boggie> lol now that's asking too much
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> Co0Ps: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/moinmoin/VeryPluggableBackends
[13:32] <Real_Ubot> kevdog: Well, thank you anyway. I'll do some more google searches about ssh and forwarding.
[13:32] <Scunizi> Boggie: when there's a will.. there's a way.. if it's important enough you'll figure a way to do it.
[13:32] <NewfierRich> hey all, All me video in ubuntu has a blue tint to it. Before I start reinstalling codecs aimlessly do anyone have any suggestions?
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> Co0Ps: wicd-curses is an interface
[13:32] <Boggie> well i just need to get past an apt-get error
[13:32] <NewfierRich> all my*
[13:33] <Boggie> it was unable to replace the debianutils old package with a new one
[13:33] <usr13> NewfierRich: mplayer
[13:33] <Scunizi> NewfierRich: yes.. the program that's playing the video will probably have a properties section where you can adjust the color
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> Co0Ps: will give you a curses based network manager
[13:33] <Co0Ps> ActionParsnip: i get an exception when i run wicd-curses
[13:33] <NewfierRich> ok thanks usr13 and scunizi I will pick around the settings
[13:33] <Co0Ps> with traceback
[13:34] <Co0Ps> DBus.Error.Filenotfound Failed to connect to socket ... /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket
[13:34] <superpiiii> how do you run svnserv as another user e.g. subversion but not root?
[13:34] <Co0Ps> (running it as root ofc)
[13:34] <usr13> NewfierRich: If you install mplayer, you will more than likely install more codecs. (mplayer is the swiss army knife for video)
[13:35] <MorphyNOR> vlc is that
[13:35] <NewfierRich> urs13, thanks. I have i feeling it is something to do with the codecs because all my video programs is doing the same thing
[13:35] <usr13> MorphyNOR: vlc has it's own codecs that come with it.
[13:35] <usr13> NewfierRich: Which ones do you have?
[13:35] <ActionParsnip> Co0Ps: thats all i know
[13:36] <MorphyNOR> NewfierRich: tried vlc?
[13:36] <justin_> Hi, alsa doesn't work on my machine
[13:36] <justin_> and aplay-l reports no sound card found
[13:36] <justin_> but OSS works SOMETIME...
[13:37] <NewfierRich> MorphyNor: yes VLC does the same thing
[13:37] <NewfierRich> urs13: I wouldn't be able to till you what codecs I have. I know I have gstreamer but thats just off the top of my head
[13:37] <nero_> hi
[13:37] <justin_> can anyone help?
[13:38] <nero_> may anybody help me please?
[13:38] <protojay> nero_, we would love to help you nero
[13:39] <nero_> i upgraded today to ubuntu 9.04
[13:39] <echosystm> does anyone know of an SSD that works with TRIM in linux?
[13:40] <usr13> NewfierRich: May not be codecs at all.  Is this a laptop?  What video card do you have?
[13:40] <nastas> hi all
[13:40] <nero_> my wireless worked fine till i installed audacity
[13:40] <anton__> hi
[13:41] <legend2440> justin_: in terminal type   lspci | grep -i audio   whats it say?
[13:41] <nero_> what sould i do to get the wireless workin
[13:41] <nero_> ?
[13:41] <Scunizi> nero_: I don't know why your wireless stopped.. but it had nothing to do with audacity.. it was a coincidence
[13:41] <usr13> NewfierRich: do you have mplayer installed? If so, try the "-vo gl" option.
[13:42] <NewfierRich> I just reinstalled it
[13:42] <nero_> it just stoped
[13:42] <nastas> nero_: iwconfig output?
[13:42] <NewfierRich> but still blue
[13:42] <NewfierRich> how do you do -vo gl?
[13:43] <nero_> after i had done the reboot of the laptop
[13:43] <nastas> nero_: in pastebin
[13:43] <usr13> NewfierRich: Do you have w32codec package?
[13:44] <nastas> nero_: iwconfig output. do you know how to do it?
[13:44] <nero_> no
[13:45] <NewfierRich> Usr13: I don't think so
[13:45] <nero_> i don't know if is this what you want
[13:45] <usr13> NewfierRich: sudo apt-get install w32codec
[13:45] <NewfierRich> k
[13:45] <nero_> but it says that i have no wireless card
[13:46] <nastas> in a terminal type iwconfig. copy the output and paste it in pastebin.com then give me the link
[13:46] <Real_Ubot> What would be the most easiest way to ssh forward chat, mail and browser, a dynamic solution like SOCKS or setting each software to port forward using local-port-forwarding?
[13:46] <usr13> NewfierRich: You might also run your video player from terminal and watch for errors.
[13:46] <llutz> Real_Ubot: socks (ssh -D)
[13:46] <NewfierRich> usr13:  E: Couldn't find package w32codec
[13:47] <nastas> nero_: do you mean that iwconfig output say that you don't have wireless extention?
[13:47] <usr13> NewfierRich: Run varous video players from terminal and watch for errors.
[13:47] <daeo> hey everyone, i've got a serious question here, I've posted on the forums about it and on one of the ubuntu support sites linked to ubuntu.com, im just forgetting the name of it right now but, anyways.. i recently upgraded my video card and after booting into gnome, i get a diplay issue and can't quit gdm by using CTRL + ALT + Backspace, so right now I had to time the boot up just right to do a sudo killall gdm in order to get on he
[13:47] <Real_Ubot> llutz: Ok, than I will have to look into it.
[13:47] <NewfierRich> usr13 k
[13:47] <usr13> NewfierRich: You probably need another repository enabled.
[13:47] <llutz> Real_Ubot: have a look on tsocks too, you'll probably need it
[13:47] <legend2440> NewfierRich: download it here  http://packages.medibuntu.org/karmic/w32codecs.html    you on karmic?
[13:48] <d3v1ous> hello, can somebody help me with 3D Cube in Ubuntu 9.10

[13:53] <Pici> lmxl: Can you elaborate what you mean by that?
[13:54] <justin_> Hi, ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA), is this card supported by alsa?

[13:54] <usr13> daeo: try: sudo dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[13:54] <justin_> I cann't find the exact match on ALSA's wiki
[13:54] <daeo> ah thanks i'll try that
[13:54] <Pici> usr13: dpkg-reconfigure is the command
[13:54] <Pici> lmxl: I do not know what that is.
[13:54] <lmxl> ok tnx

[13:56] <nightcrow> Hiya, does anyone know how I can restrict employees from downloading attachments from emails with linux?
[13:57] <NewfierRich> Usr13: I figured out my video problems
[13:57] <usr13> daeo: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xorg.conf   #Last one was typo.
[13:57] <usr13> NewfierRich: What was it?
[13:57] <NewfierRich> Usr13: I feel kinda dumb, it was just my hue settings :S
[13:57] <llutz> nightcrow: filter it out before delivering (i.e. with procmail)
[13:57] <justin_> Scott1979: what does the latter part "Intel HDA" mean?
[13:57] <usr13> NewfierRich: aaahhhh  very good.
[13:58] <devyll> how can I share my inet connection via wireless ? I have mobile broadband and I want to be able to create a wireless network on which other laptops to connect.
[13:58] <NewfierRich> usr13: sometimes its just the quick fix you gotta look for, thanks for all the help.
[13:58] <nightcrow> llutz: that would run on the SMTP server?
[13:58] <usr13> devyll: Get a wireless router.
[13:58] <llutz> nightcrow: yes
[13:59] <nightcrow> thank you llutz
[13:59] <Scott1979> intel High Definition Audio
[13:59] <Co0Ps> i accidently closed apt-get update, now it's locked, how do i unlock?
[13:59] <Co0Ps> resource temporarly unavailible
[14:00] <usr13> devyll: Get a wireless router. (First step.)  (Unless you have a wifi device installed that does AP mode... not likely)
[14:00] <Co0Ps> rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock ?
[14:00] <yon89> i have been looking for the problem with my mdadm and cannot see what the problem is in the messages log http://pastebin.com/f67c2bc0e . If someone could tell me why my md5 array drops a disk every time i reboot that would be awsome even tho this problem is with debian ubuntu is stil very similar
[14:00] <justin_> Scott1979: then why the first halp part is labelled with ATI?
[14:01] <nightcrow> llutz: wow! procmail is ancient!
[14:01] <nightcrow> is there nothing more updated?
[14:02] <usr13> Co0Ps pkill update-manager
[14:02] <yermandu> apropos some ocr gui for scan books?
[14:03] <llutz> nightcrow:who cares? procmail works, feel free to look for alternatives
[14:03] <nightcrow> llutz: do you know of any? and does it run on every linux distro?
[14:04] <llutz> nightcrow: i never searched alternate solutions. and yes, it should work on most common distro
[14:04] <Co0Ps> how do I install a deb file?
[14:04] <Co0Ps> command line
[14:04] <nightcrow> thank you llutz
[14:04] <llutz> Co0Ps: sudo dpkg -i foo.deb
[14:05] <nightcrow> llutz: what does procmail need to run with?
[14:05] <nightcrow> meaning, does it need to run along side anything, or is it an entire package?
[14:06] <llutz> nightcrow: doesn't need anything special.
[14:06] <nightcrow> ok
[14:06] <nightcrow> thanks
[14:07] <llutz> nightcrow: setup depends on your used mta
[14:07] <tijs> what can i do, if my monitor resolution is unsupported by Nvidia X server?
[14:07] <Crewsr3> I want conky to auto launch at boot so I went into pref>Startup and added a line and put in the comand "conky"  on reboot conky did not start, what am I missing?
[14:07] <nightcrow> can you recommend one?
[14:07] <nightcrow> llutz
[14:07] <llutz> nightcrow: _i_ prefer postfix
[14:07] <Halabund> Ever since upgrading to Karmic, sometimes the speakers start emitting a (not too loud, but disturbing) "buzz" (which is sensitive to the volume control).  This wasn't happening in Jaunty.  Have you any idea what I could do about it?
[14:07] <rauch> crazy chat... ohh
[14:08] <nightcrow> and any alternatives? (sorry, this is just all a matter of research and for some reason im not getting anything solid with google)
[14:08] <nightcrow> (i do appreciate all your help though llutz)
[14:08] <llutz> nightcrow: but ihave been out of mta-business for nearly 10 yrs and just started new to setup one
[14:08] <d3v1ous> hello, can somebody help me with 3D Cube in Ubuntu 9.10
[14:08] <Halabund> It usually starts by a tone that's changing pitch for about half a second, then it settles on a constant buzz, and won't go away till a reboot.
[14:08] <nightcrow> llutz: ok :)
[14:08] <llutz> nightcrow: exim4, ssmtp, qmail, list-to-be-continued. depends on your needs/knowledge
[14:09] <nightcrow> simple mail server on which i can run procmail really
[14:09] <MJas1016> Morning, can someone help me add a custom resolution to one of my monitors? (I am currently using dual screens with a nvidia card)
[14:09] <llutz> nightcrow: and if you really like to hurt yourself: sendmail :)
[14:09] <nightcrow> llutz: i dont
[14:09] <nightcrow> :)
[14:09] <tolpico> To move back a page in firefox, backspace key doesn't work in ubuntu. Any other key does the work of it?
[14:10] <llutz> nightcrow: postfix/exim4 should be fine then. well documented and lots of howto/tuts available online
[14:10] <Crewsr3> I want conky to auto launch at boot so I went into pref>Startup and added a line and put in the command "conky"  on reboot conky did not start, what am I missing?
[14:10] <nightcrow> thank you llutz
[14:11] <MJas1016> can someone help me add a custom resolution to one of my monitors? (I am currently using dual screens with a nvidia card)
[14:14] <d3v1ous> can somebody help me with 3D Cube in Ubuntu 9.10?
[14:14] <ctmjr> Crewsr3: does conky start in a terminal?
[14:14] <Jad-J_> hello
[14:15] <phobbs> hello
[14:15] <Crewsr3> ctmjr, yes it does but when I close termial it shuts donw
[14:15] <Jad-J> I have A VERY PLD PC:P pentium II... I want to install a linux distro... any idea?
[14:15] <Jigal> hello if i don't type anything fo a while on my pc my keyboard switches of so to say any ideas?
[14:16] <ctmjr> Crewsr3: try it like this iirc conky -d

[14:16] <MJas1016> and ubuntu 9.10
[14:16] <CSWookie> Hey all.  I'm running karmic, and I can't seem to get my sound to work reliably.
[14:16] <phobbs> ok
[14:16] <CSWookie> Can someone help me figure out what I've done wrong?
[14:17] <alvin> password works to login,to authenticate, but not su in terminal
[14:17] <phobbs> same with me, alvin
[14:17] <phobbs> I just use sudo =/
[14:17] <CSWookie> I haven't used su in years.
[14:17] <Pici> alvin, phobbs: the root password is locked in Ubuntu, you should be using sudo for root access.
[14:17] <Pici> !sudo | alvin phobbs
[14:17] <Crewsr3> ctmjr, should type that in the start up "iirc conky -d"
[14:17] <Gorlist> does anyone know how I can create a channel.conf with a offset of 167KHz
[14:18] <qwyeth> alvin, su has always taken the root password instead of your password... but you can get a root shell using 'sudo -i'
[14:18] <phobbs> qwyeth, why is the root pswd different from my password?
[14:19] <ctmjr> Crewsr3: not the irrc just conky -d
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[14:20] <ljamisonii> hello all.
[14:20] <dnivra> welcome back ActionParsnip.
[14:20] <yermandu> ;qui
[14:20] <nix--> hi all. i got some mp3 files and i need to make and audio cd out of them. can some1 tell me how ?
[14:20] <Crewsr3> ctmjr, thanks
[14:21] <ljamisonii> what version of Ubuntu are you working with?
[14:21] <nix--> 9.10 karmic
[14:21] <Pici> phobbs: The root password is locked on Ubuntu, that is just how we do things. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[14:21] <Scunizi> nix--: use k3b.. should convert them and make a standard audio cd
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> nix--: k3b or brasero will do it
[14:21] <nix--> k3b doesnt work - it says Unable to handle the following files due to an unsupported format:
[14:22] <simple> brasero make it
[14:22] <nix--> brasero wont convert mp3 to wav
[14:22] <Scunizi> nix--: sounds like you need the mp3 support files.. install ubuntu-restricted-extras and possibly gstreamer plugins ugly
[14:23] <sunil1> after compilation of C program i got file named "a.out" now may i know how to run this file
[14:23] <simple> sudo aptitude install soundconverter
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> sunil1: ./a.out
[14:23] <simple> try thisone
[14:23] <dnivra> sunil1: "./a.out" from the directory in which the file is.
[14:23] <ljamisonii> so confused o_o
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> sunil1: you may need to mark it as executable but i'd hope the compiler does it
[14:24] <simple> nix - soundconverter
[14:24] <kajdo> hey guys ... does anyone know how to add a launcher-script (currently located on my desktop) to gnome-do?
[14:24] <sunil1> i did the same thing but i got bash: /a.out: No such file or directory
[14:24] <MJas1016> Hello, I am currently using Karmic Koala. Can someone help me add a custom resolution to one of my LCD monitors? (I am currently using dual screens with a nvidia card)
[14:25] <Scunizi> !fixres | MJas1016
[14:25] <dnivra> sunil1: you missed a '.'(fullstop) before '/'
[14:25] <alvin> thank you very much, phobbs. switching from suse- got confused
[14:25] <ljamisonii> while we're on the subject...suggestions for a program to create movie DVDs? (Running Xubuntu)
[14:25] <MJas1016> ubottu: thank you
[14:25] <llutz> ljamisonii: devede, dvdauthor
[14:25] <nix--> Scunizi, i installed ubu restricted extra but the same err with k3b.. should i reboot and try again ?
[14:25] <sunil1> thank you very much sir i got the out put now
[14:25] <phobbs> alvin: ok, so to make su do what you want, add "alias su='sudo -i'" to your ~/.bashrc
[14:26] <jtaji> ljamisonii: there's 'devede'
[14:26] <nomnex> can I change the font on a xchat client?
[14:26] <sunil1> is it necessary to install "gcc" in my PC
[14:26] <simple> nix--  did you try soundconverter
[14:26] <ljamisonii> is devede the better of the two?
[14:26] <alvin> thanks again phobbs
[14:26] <Scunizi> nix--: rebooting doesn't fix much.. stop and restart k3b
[14:27] <jtaji> ljamisonii: IIRC, devede is the simpler of the two... better you'll have to determine yourself ;)
[14:27] <phobbs> sunil1: gcc is useful if you are a programmer or if you want to install from source
[14:27] <chazco> Ubuntu doesn't currently support my sound card properly... the bug report says the milestones is "Ubuntu later"... anyone know when this is likely to be?
[14:27] <xing_> has network-manager in Ubuntu 9.10 been updated?
[14:27] <dnivra> sunil1: if you've ubuntu installed, gcc is installed by default.
[14:27] <ljamisonii> alright, thanks jtaji :)
[14:27] <nix--> simple,  i was hoping i can go without having to convert them first and them burn
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> ljamisonii: +1 for devede
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> xing_: theres a network manager ppa
[14:27] <ljamisonii> I just installed Xubuntu yesterday, so basically my first experience on the system
[14:27] <phobbs> alvin: also, use "exit" to get out of the root shell
[14:28] <simple> you need some additional packages.
[14:28] <nix--> Scunizi, i restarted k3b yes - the same thing
[14:28] <sunil1> may i know the better way of using gcc
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> sunil1: i'd ask in #c++
[14:29] <Scunizi> nix--: you gotta figure out what the error means
[14:29] <nix--> simple, now when i start k3b it takes forever to load - i mean the cursor turns into that spining thingy
[14:29] <xing_> ActionParsnip,is it an official update?
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> xing_: https://launchpad.net/~network-manager/+archive/ppa
[14:29] <sunil1> can you expand still further
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> xing_: no idea, i just know it eists
[14:29] <sunil1> i dn't get your statement
[14:30] <nix--> Scunizi, i think it has smth to do with the codecs but idk much bout codecs
[14:30] <felix_> Hallo??
[14:30] <Scunizi> nix--: medibuntu repos have probably what you need..
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> xing_: if you dont use vpn or 3g etc you can use wicd, its DE independant too :) and has a curses interface
[14:30] <Scunizi> !medibuntu | nix--
[14:30] <deltaray> Anyone have experience with "preload".  Is it a good/bad idea? My gut tells me that it might be a bad idea to use, regardless of the benefits.
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> xing_: as well as a gui app
[14:31] <mynyml> is there a way to change a window's title?
[14:31] <Dr_Willis> deltaray:   it was a 'big' thing a few years back. But basically i say - dont worry/bother with it.
[14:31] <nix--> THNKS i will check it
[14:31] <sunil1> can you expand the better way of working with gcc?
[14:31] <Dr_Willis> deltaray:  I dont think it can break much.. but i do recall it breaking SOME things..  Actually i was thinking some shrunk down form of it was being used in ubuntu
[14:32] <Rudy_ryle> hi
[14:32] <Rudy_ryle> can i help me ?
[14:33] <Rudy_ryle> i search a channel for java
[14:33] <ljamisonii> general question...is there a difference between Add/Remove Applications and Synaptic Package Manager?
[14:33] <MorphyNOR> selfhelp is -> that way
[14:33] <IdleOne> Rudy_ryle: #java
[14:33] <MorphyNOR> ljamisonii: yes
[14:33] <sunil1> how to run java files???
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> ljamisonii:   they install the same programs/stuff if thats what you want to know. They are different front ends to the package maanger system
[14:33] <Rudy_ryle> IdleOne: yes i try but is empty :(
[14:33] <BlouBlou> Rudy_ryle: /join ##java
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> !java | sunil1
[14:33] <Sagaci> ljamisonii: synaptic is much more comprehensive
[14:34] <Rudy_ryle> BlouBlou: ok thx i try
[14:34] <ljamisonii> alrighty..thanks
[14:34] <Fallout_Emanuel> Add/Remove only have handselected applications, while synaptic list's everything
[14:34] <Pici> !register | Rudy_ryle you must be registered to join ##java
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> ljamisonii: use whichever yuo are comfortable with, they all acieve the same end
[14:34] <Rudy_ryle> arf empty to :(
[14:34] <nix--> simple,  i will try with brasero but some guy on a blog was saying it doesnt convert them to wav and just records the mp3 ..but this means i will waste one CD
[14:34] <xing_> why ppa version of networkmanage has not been added to the official updates?
[14:35] <ljamisonii> because I tried to install devede in Add/Remove Apps and it gave me an error saying it was in conflict with previously installed software and to switch over to Synaptic
[14:35] <mynyml> Rudy_ryle: ##java has 274 people for me, it's no empty
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> xing_: log a bug with what the new version fixes and it may get included
[14:35] <ljamisonii> that's why I was asking
[14:35] <sunil1> may i know the command to install java-6 onto my pc
[14:35] <Rudy_ryle> mynyml: i have un message for registration :(

[14:41] <wastrel> sunil1: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[14:41] <mmatalka> Hello, is /etc/init.d/local called with start/stop like other scripts?
[14:41] <BlouBlou> !repeat | sunil1
[14:41] <Sagaci> ljamisonii: terminal isn't necessary, what are you trying to do
[14:42] <dabaR> sunil1: How did you install it? Through the packages?
[14:42] <xing_> a bug is failure to create dsl connetction
[14:42] <dabaR> xing_: network manager does not set up dsl connections AFAIK
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> mmatalka:  you may want to try 'sudo service WHATEVER' instead of /etc/init.d/WHaTEVER   - upstart is slowly making the /etc/init,d/XXX    non functional
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> !dsl
[14:42] <mmatalka> Dr_Willis: Hrm upstart, ok.
[14:42] <sunil1> i have run sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin
[14:43] <ljamisonii> Sagaci: I know...I'm just on Christmas break and bored out of my mind, so I want to learn something useful :p
[14:43] <Dr_Willis> sunil1:  thats just the browser plugin i belive. Not the runtime/dev packages
[14:43] <dabaR> sunil1: can you check whether sun-java6-jre is installed?
[14:43] <dabaR> -jdk not -jre, sorry
[14:44] <sunil1> it is installed on my pc
[14:44] <Sagaci> ljamisonii: avoid sudo unless you know what it's doing
[14:44] <grkblood> what is this system info thing called on this desktop? http://www.technama.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/overglossed.jpg
[14:44] <ljamisonii> Sagaci: alright, thanks for the advice
[14:44] <grkblood> on the right
[14:44] <sunil1> now how to work default with that
[14:44] <IdleOne> update-alternatives --java is it?
[14:44] <Pici> grkblood: Looks like conky
[14:45] <ljamisonii> alright, well I'm going to head out now...thank you all for your help!
[14:45] <wastrel> IdleOne: --config java
[14:45] <grkblood> thanks Pici
[14:46] <IdleOne> sunil1:  update-alternatives --config java
[14:46] <IdleOne> wastrel: ^^ correct?
[14:46] <sunil1> i got No alternatives for java. as out put
[14:46] <wastrel> needs sudo
[14:46] <Pici> IdleOne: you'll need sudo in front of that.
[14:47] <wastrel> but if there are no alternatives, means java6 isn't installed
[14:47] <IdleOne> sunil1: add sudo in front of that command and see what it gives you
[14:47] <wastrel> assuming java --version  isn't java6
[14:47] <wastrel> er, java -version
[14:48] <sunil1> i got same message i.e.,No alternatives for java
[14:48] <erUSUL> sunil1: install sun's java or openjdk
[14:48] <dabaR> sunil1: when you compile now, what does it default to?
[14:48] <jtaji> sunil1: then it's default since you only have one option
[14:49] <sunil1> how to install sun's java or openjdk
[14:49] <IdleOne> sunil1: sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk
[14:49] <dabaR> sunil1: can you compile java now?

[14:52] <Jigal> any idea's?
[14:53] <blackstar> Hello i need a sim card read app for ubuntu 9.10?
[14:53] <jtaji> gabbah: your default gateway is used to route traffic to any IP not on your subnet.. since your are using your ISPs public IP and gateway...
[14:53] <jtaji> gabbah: traffic to 192.168.* will go to the ISP gateway, and then won't know where to go
[14:53] <IdleOne> !hcl | blackstar
[14:54] <jtaji> gabbah: you need some device on your network to act properly as your gateway
[14:54] <blackstar> thanks ubottu
[14:55] <dabaR> jtaji: could he use a route without a gateway?
[14:55] <gabbah> jtaji: aha ok i see
[14:55] <sunil1> i got "bash: java: command not found" after java -version
[14:55] <jtaji> dabaR, gabbah: yes... I think so..
[14:55] <gabbah> i have a router, so i could set it up like that too
[14:56] <nix--> Fallout_Emanuel, brasero worked. on properties it says its cdda format. thats the traditional audio format rite?
[14:56] <dabaR> jtaji: just asking because you seemed like you might know. No idea myself how that would work.
[14:56] <gabbah> right now my computer is just connected via the "switch side" to my isp
[14:57] <nix--> guys can i make my own IRC channel ?
[14:57] <dabaR> nix--: /join #that_does_not_exist

[14:57] <dabaR> nix--: they are automatically created when you join an empty one
[14:57] <nix--> sweet !!
[14:58] <llutz> gabbah: you'll need to setup a router/gateway on your lan. private ip-addresses won't be routed throught internet (and you cannot reach them though)
[14:58] <dabaR> nix--: if it becomes popular, you will want to register, so that people don't take over from you.
[14:58] <wowoto-> nix--: actually ,yes is the answer
[14:58] <nix--> so how can set some chanserv in it so its on even when Im not online ?
[14:58] <gabbah> llutz: thanks.
[14:58] <dabaR> nix--: dunno, guys at #freenode might know
[14:58] <Pici> nix--: This is offtopic for this channel, the folks in #freenode (who run this irc network) can help you further.

[15:09] <Rollo> my relove config says that my router is my dns server
[15:09] <Rollo> when i change it it wint do anything
[15:09] <vduck> I know drivers exist, because knoppix runs fine
[15:09] <jtaji> vduck: what ubuntu version?
[15:09] <vduck> 9.10
[15:09] <dabaR> Rollo: Sounds about right, tho, that the router would be the dns server
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> vduck:  thers constant work lately on the intel drivers.  If the live cd dosent work properly on them. You may want to check the forums for the exact chipset. There may be some PPA drivers that do work better.
[15:10] <IdleOne> vduck: lspci | grep VGA will tell you what card you have
[15:10] <Rollo> i cant connet to the internet wirlesly
[15:10] <Rollo> ethernet is fine
[15:10] <jtaji> vduck: hm which thinkpad?
[15:10] <dabaR> Rollo: and can you ping the router wirelessly>?
[15:10] <vduck> jtaji, SL510
[15:10] <vduck> one of the new ones
[15:10] <Rollo> i think so but i cant log onto the router
[15:11] <Rollo> it wil just time out
[15:11] <dabaR> Rollo: test
[15:11] <dabaR> test pinging.
[15:11] <issaec> hi, i installed cafe con leche software, but i received the next message: cclfox is not a command
[15:11] <vduck> lspci calls it mobile 4
[15:11] <Rollo> one sec
[15:11] <issaec> why?
[15:11] <sunil1> after "sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk" i have run "sudo update-alternatives --config java" i got out put as "No alternatives for java"
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> issaec:  perhaps its not in your default path
[15:11] <dabaR> Rollo: if you cant ping, there is not a proper connection
[15:11] <vduck> Dr_willis , what's a PPA?
[15:11] <dabaR> sunil1: I would like to know what your goal is before I can provide more help
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> !ppa | vduck
[15:12] <llutz> sunil1: sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre     to get java
[15:12] <llutz> sunil1: jdk = compiler, jre = runtime
[15:12] <Rollo> no icant ping my router
[15:12] <dabaR> Rollo: so you need to work on the connection between the router and computer, not the DNS.

[15:17] <el1iott> hi
[15:18] <ljamisonii> need some help with the system clock...the digital clock displays the time 3 hours behind, but in the Time/Date Settings it shows the correct time...help??
[15:18] <llutz> ljamisonii:  dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[15:18] <vduck> nomnex, just got it yesterday. I can run on an other monitor I had in my closet.
[15:18] <erUSUL> ljamisonii: what digital clock ? maybe it is configured to show utc time ?
[15:18] <regilda> ciao
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> vduck:  on one friends laptop. for some reason - he dident get a laptop display untill he used the laptop 'monitor toggle' specuial keys. The ones that activate the external monitor,  he  hit that key a few times and suddendly his lcd turned on. Some how  the laptop was using the external video  by default. But he only had to do that once when he installed. I never did figure out why
[15:19] <eltume> this is weird: my torrent on transmission is 98.12% complete it's downloading from 0 of 6 peers and it's seeding. Why is it seeding if it hasn't completely finish downloading?
[15:19] <Maletor> How do I revert my kernel. 2.6.33 was indeed a bad idea...
[15:20] <llutz> eltume: seeds completed parts
[15:20] <Rollo> i csn ping my router and i can download data realy slowy from other computers in my network
[15:20] <ljamisonii> erUSUL: I'm running Xubuntu and it's the clock display for the system. I change the settings in the Time/Date Settings but it doesn't reflect the changes on the clock
[15:20] <eltume> how do i get it to download 100%, it's stuck at 98.12%
[15:20] <llutz> eltume: wait
[15:21] <Rudy_ryle> bye
[15:21] <erUSUL> ljamisonii: hav3e you checked if it may be that is displaying UTC time? does it match with « date -u » ?
[15:21] <Rollo> but the inter conections are so slow when i try to download a 300 kb page fro a comouter right next ot it it iw will just say toms photography and stop there
[15:21] <Rollo> the images wont load
[15:21] <vduck> Dr_Willis, this came up before install - the live cd would do the splash, but as soon as it ran (even just to run the installer) the screen goes blank
[15:22] <eltume> press 'esc'
[15:22] <eltume> it should give you a men and pick graphic mode
[15:22] <|user|> i have ubuntu on my lappy asus Eee900 ha
[15:22] <eltume> *menu
[15:22] <|user|> and my wlan dont work
[15:23] <ljamisonii> erUSUL: I have no idea how to check that...I only installed Xubuntu last night >_>
[15:23] <DjAngo23> Hey, everybody, which program should i use for newsgroups ?
[15:24] <issaec> hi hi xD

[15:24] <llutz> DjAngo23: slrn, pan,
[15:24] <Rollo> is aany one hear  fluentt linux user
[15:24] <erUSUL> ljamisonii: run « date -u » on a terminal and see if the time match the one displayed by the clock. if that's the case just configure that clock to show local time not universal (utc) time
[15:24] <issaec> where i download a full version of aMSN, if i don't have an internet connection
[15:24] <Maletor> How do I revert my kernel. 2.6.33 was indeed a bad idea...
[15:24] <eltume> linux needs a better way of connecting to wlan. Most people find that ndiswrapper, etc too hard.
[15:24] <issaec> for downloading on live
[15:24] <grawity> Rollo: Just ask your question and someone will answer :|
[15:24] <erUSUL> Maletor: how did you installed the newer kernel ?
[15:24] <vduck> Dr_Willis, switching back and forth does nothing. Unbuntu knows the monitor's there - when I play with display it tries to set up dual monitor. It just doesn't succeed
[15:25] <DjAngo23> grawity: llutz : Thnaks for that ;) Now is, which one am i going the chance to be my reader ;)
[15:25] <Maletor> .deb file
[15:25] <Chousuke> eltume: if you have proper hardware, it should just work.
[15:25] <Chousuke> eltume: without ndiswrapper or any trickery
[15:25] <erUSUL> Maletor: then just uninstall it with synaptic
[15:25] <Maletor> k
[15:25] <grawity> issaec: What's the point of downloading aMSN if you won't have an internet connection to use it?
[15:25] <Rollo> i cant cannet to outsde networks in ubuntu, and connecting to internal networks goes at around 64 byes a sec
[15:25] <eltume> so it doesn't work with linux unfriendly hardware such as?
[15:27] <erUSUL> eltume: what wifi chip do you have?
[15:27] <ljamisonii> erUSUL: I tried to input that command in terminal, but all it did was remove my "username@system:~$" and replace it with ">"
[15:27] <erUSUL> ljamisonii: did you writte it as i said ? without the « » ?
[15:28] <grawity> ljamisonii: press Ctrl-C ... you typed the command wrong.
[15:28] <ljamisonii> oh...haha...my bad >_> *feels very n00bish
[15:28] <erUSUL> ljamisonii: no problem; we all have beenat some point
[15:28] <eltume> i don't have wlan i tried to install wireless network with ubuntu once using a usb wireless adapter by locating .inf inside the drivers folder, blah, blah and i did just that and it didn't work.
[15:28] <isaias>  i installed a ciber, but there are 11 pcs.. the connection in the ciber is so slow for downloadin on live.. i need aMSN just for double-click installation without downloading (nothing)... help men! thanks xD
[15:29]  * grawity notes that even including « » won't cause that :|
[15:29] <erUSUL> isaias: already told you what to do in #ubuntu-es
[15:29] <ljamisonii> I must say though...I'm in love with Xubuntu and decided I'm not using Windows ever again except for a handful of Windows-only programs lol
[15:29] <grawity> isaias: http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[15:29] <erUSUL> grawity: but some people will writte << >> and that many redirections surely confues bash ;P
[15:29] <eltume> has anyone found a solution to my torrent problem. (It's stuck at 98.12% downloading?
[15:29] <eltume> thank you
[15:30] <grawity> erUSUL: Ah, I see it. That isn't "many", just one
[15:30] <erUSUL> eltume: maybe it is becouse nobody has the complete file. sometimes the seeders just disappear and everybody gets stuck
[15:31] <isaias> erUSUL: Sorry, i can't see your help 'cuz the connections was down
[15:31] <eltume> wow!
[15:31] <isaias> grawity: Thanks, i wanna see that
[15:31] <eltume> 98.12% I was sooo close!
[15:31] <luisgmarine> anyone recommend some good linux podcasts?
[15:31] <erUSUL> eltume: many torrent clients call this "aviability"
[15:31] <erUSUL> check it
[15:31] <grawity> availability*
[15:31] <ljamisonii> erUSUL: alright...I typed in the command it it displayed "Wed Dec 30 15:29:23 UTC 2009"...the clock is displaying 07:29 AM when it's supposed to be 10:29 AM
[15:31] <DjAngo23> grawity: llutz : Are those programs also the best way to download files from the newsreader ?
[15:32] <erUSUL> eltume: just wait maybe at some point of the day somebody connects that has the complete file
[15:32] <DjAngo23> I foud it, sorry
[15:33] <erUSUL> ljamisonii: :/ then i dunno what may be happening... maybe you find more help in #xubuntu given that is a xfce clock
[15:33] <grawity> DjAngo23: I never downloaded anything from Usenet, so can't answer that...
[15:33] <eltume> erUSUL it's been 2 days! lol
[15:33] <ljamisonii> good point..lol
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> Usenet - the good old days. :)
[15:33] <ljamisonii> well I'll try that then
[15:33] <ljamisonii> thanks for the help ^_^
[15:34] <erUSUL> no problem
[15:34] <ljamisonii> exit
[15:34] <ljamisonii> oops..lol
[15:34] <eltume> #xubuntu is terrible. They lied to me! It's speed is as slow or slower than regular ubuntu. LUBuntu is looking promising though.
[15:34] <erUSUL> ljamisonii: /part
[15:34] <Neeblor> anyone know of a good socks5 server for ubuntu?
[15:34] <Dr_Willis> eltume:  Some timens you just got to let the torrent run for a few days. eventually someone with  the missing parts may connect back and complete the download
[15:34] <erUSUL> !find socks5
[15:35]  * erUSUL ¬.¬
[15:35] <Neeblor> !find socks
[15:35] <Neeblor> =/
[15:35] <erUSUL> !info tsocks | Neeblor
[15:36] <Ween-> I have a shell script that uses "==" however it is not working in 9.10 any clues?
[15:36] <Neeblor> sweet, cheers
[15:37] <erUSUL> Ween-: probably becouse dash does not support it ? in ubuntu sh is dash not bash
[15:37] <erUSUL> Ween-: so change the script to use bash
[15:37] <Ween-> strange, when I ask ubuntu to tell me what shell I am using it tells me bash
[15:38] <erUSUL> Ween-: yes but if the script uses the #!/bin/sh sheebang then it is interpereted by dash
[15:38] <booh> Ween-: check 'ls -al /bin/dash'
[15:38] <isaias> hi, again. i'm @ packages.ubuntu, but aMSN download file is 880 kB... mmm, if download this file, i need internet connection for downloading aMSN?? the point is obtain and install aMSN without downloading nothing
[15:38] <booh> or 'ls -al /bin/*sh'
[15:38] <Ween-> why would someone not write posix compliant code is beyond me
[15:39] <booh> isaias: how do you obtain something for nothing?
[15:39] <Ween-> why someone would
[15:39] <booh> Ween-: because posix sucks
[15:39] <isaias> lol
[15:39] <Ween-> yea, but "=" is portable
[15:39] <isaias> ok
[15:39] <isaias> i mean
[15:39] <Ween-> "==" is not
[15:39] <booh> no Ween-
[15:40] <booh> C came before POSIX
[15:40] <isaias> obtain aMSN and install, but in a PC without internet... yes, just install aMSN
[15:40] <erUSUL> !ot
[15:40] <grawity> isaias: The .deb package contains the entire program. Except dependencies (which come in separate .deb's.)
[15:40] <booh> isaias: you cannot install something without installing anytyhing\
[15:40] <Ween-> im just saying, in shell programming, "==" is obviously not portable :)
[15:40] <lnxten> what the font name used for ubuntu logo text ?
[15:40] <booh> Ween-: yes ;)
[15:40] <Rollo> does anyone elsehave any linux problems with the rtl8111 wireless
[15:40] <Rollo> card
[15:41] <kadoban> anyone know how to use the python debug builds in ubuntu? i'm running python-dbg, and it works fine...except there's no debug output at all.  i see a command line switch -d, but that just spams with the parser's debug output
[15:41] <isaias> mmm, grawity... then, the point and the solution for my problem is download all dependences???
[15:41] <Pici> lnxten: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuTitle
[15:41] <Kovert> IS there a repository with thunderbird3 in it yet?
[15:41] <erUSUL> kadoban: python-dbg is usefull to run the python interpreter under gdb afaics not to debug python scripts...
[15:41] <grawity> Kovert: Mozilla's PPA.
[15:41] <pjotter> hello everyone
[15:41] <Rollo> does anyone elsehave any linux problems with the rtl8111 wireless card
[15:41] <nomnex> I have just installed xchat, how do I search for a nick in the user list on the right (default)?
[15:42] <kadoban> erUSUL: oh...well, that's not entirely useful i guess.  thanks
[15:42] <Kovert> grawity: how do i fuind that?
[15:42] <kadoban> well, i guess it could be useful for others, just not me
[15:42] <grawity> isaias: amsn, amsn-data, gstreamer0.10-nice, libgssdp, libgupnp, libgupnp-igd, libv4l, tcl, tcl-tls, tk8.5
[15:43] <erUSUL> kadoban: the -gdb packages are there to help report bugs. people can genrate usefull backtraces of repeatable crashes
[15:43] <AIIID> my install stuck at 89% what to do?
[15:43] <erUSUL> !debug | kadoban
[15:43] <fossiiil> gstreamer 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1
[15:43] <grawity> Kovert: With Google, of course. https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa
[15:43] <Kovert> grawity: thank!
[15:43] <lnxten> pici: thanks :-)
[15:44] <isaias> xD
[15:45] <isaias> can i download all packages and dependeces from ubuntu.com and install in my pc without problem, or i need an internet connection??
[15:45] <erUSUL> you need the internet connection
[15:45] <fossiiil> no
[15:45] <isolat3dsh33p> bash question, what does « 2>&1 » means?
[15:45] <Dr_Willis> isaias:  its possible. But ive never done that.
[15:45] <fossiiil> or you just install basic packages...and reach WindowsXP level
[15:45] <grawity> isaias: You can install them from .deb without internet, yes.
[15:46] <grawity> isaias: But seriously, how the hell are you going to _use_ aMSN without a connection?
[15:46] <isaias> lol
[15:46] <Dr_Willis> isolat3dsh33p:  it pipes the standard error and standard out to a location. I recall the 'advanced bash scripting guide" having some details on that
[15:46] <isaias> well
[15:46] <nomnex> xchat somebody. Searching for a nick on the user list?
[15:46] <erUSUL> isolat3dsh33p: make both stdout and stderr go to the same file descriptor in this case 2 (stderr)
[15:46] <grawity> isolat3dsh33p: Copy file descriptor #2 (stderr) to #1 (stdout), causing all error messages to be printed to stdout. 'man bash'.
[15:47] <Dr_Willis> nomnex:  its like alphabetical... why do you need to search it?
[15:47] <Khisanth> hmm TCP over smoke signals ...
[15:47] <erUSUL> isolat3dsh33p: redirect that to whatever is after
[15:47] <isaias> my internet connection is faster than the ciber connection, and download aMSN for each pc in the ciber is for killin' me
[15:47] <isolat3dsh33p> Dr_Willis, grawity, erUSUL: thanks
[15:47] <nomnex> Dr_Willis: contact someone on the list
[15:47] <grawity> isaias: what's "ciber"?
[15:47] <erUSUL> grawity: internet cafe
[15:48] <isaias> yes, sorry for my eng
[15:48] <isaias> xD
[15:48] <Dr_Willis> isolat3dsh33p:  you can set up a apt-cacheer server to cache all the packages so just one pc downloads/stores them
[15:48] <Dr_Willis> nomnex:  you could  use the nickcompletion feature of the tab key and the proper commands also...
[15:48] <erUSUL> isaias: i told you before. install in one pc and use aptoncd to move the packages to the other ones. that way you only download once
[15:48] <sludge> hey is there a linux mint UNR???
[15:48] <nomnex> Dr_Willis: command please.
[15:48] <erUSUL> !aptoncd | isaias
[15:48] <grawity> isolat3dsh33p: Usually, when you use it in "command 2>&1 > somefile", it's shorter to use "command >& somefile" instead.
[15:48] <Dr_Willis> sludge:  Not that i know of. Go ask in Mint support
[15:49] <erUSUL> !mint | nomnex
[15:49] <Pici> sludge: We do not support Linux Mint here, you should check their homepage and support channel.
[15:49] <Dr_Willis> nomnex:  normal way /msg WHOEVER  hello
[15:49] <Dr_Willis> nomnex:  not all irc clients have a nick list. :)
[15:49] <nomnex> Dr_Willis: thanks
[15:50] <obaid> is there adobe acrobat professional alternative for linux ?
[15:50] <Dr_Willis> nomnex:  the xchat homepage had some decent docs/tutorials at one time.
 <Dr_Willis> just curious.....those slimy inglorius mint basterds are always up to no good
[15:50] <Khisanth> /query would be better if you plan on sending more than one message
[15:50] <Dr_Willis> sludge:  i dont see much point in Mint. so i havent bothered with it in ages
[15:50] <isaias> mmm THANKS A LOT
[15:50] <Khisanth> Dr_Willis: it has never had any tutorials
[15:50] <isaias> xD
[15:50] <Slart> obaid: not really... there are other ways of just creating pdfs.. but the rest is hard to do in linux
[15:50] <erUSUL> obaid: to create pdf's? many apps can export pdf natively those who can not can use the cups pdf printer
[15:51] <nomnex> Khisanth: (from xchat?) /query. okay.
[15:51] <zamba> i want to run some win32 applications from a central location.. how can i do that? meaning, i don't want to run wine or any other emulation software..
[15:51] <Khisanth> nomnex: /query nick
[15:51] <zamba> but i want to run it over a citrix like environment
[15:51] <Dr_Willis> http://xchat.org/docs/start/
[15:52] <CyL> what would be a good app to open rar files fro ubuntu's repository?
[15:52] <erUSUL> zamba: then use a windows server and rdp client
[15:52] <erUSUL> !rar | CyL
[15:52] <Slart> zamba: there are clients for linux for most remote connection software
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> CyL:  theres rar and unrar.
[15:52] <nomnex> Khisanth: I gotta read some IRC tutorial commands.
[15:52] <cgroza> hello...if i restart my computer my compiz cube skydome image goes away...but if i go to ccsm the path to the skydome is there , so i have to check and uncheck the skydome box to activate it.... the picture is a png and its located in my home directory...
[15:52] <isolat3dsh33p> grawity, the script i'm studying with use this « some_command >/dev/null 2>&1 » . I'm not sure what this means. Does it means every output from the command will be located in /dev/null as well as the errors? What's /dev/null for anyway?
[15:52] <erUSUL> zamba: there are at least two rdp clients aviable in th repos
[15:53] <Dr_Willis> nomnex:  http://t0x.in/xchat.html
[15:53] <michaelwoo> hello, i want to change the background use feh, and the command 'feh --bg-tile filename' worked at the terminal, but when i add it in the .xinitrc file, it does not work. why????
[15:53] <CyL> erUSUL, Dr_Willis: thanks buddies
[15:53] <zamba> erUSUL: do you have any more details about that? what do i need on the windows server to get that working?
[15:53] <Khisanth> nomnex: http://t0x.in/xchat.html and http://xchatdata.net/ has a lot of xchat specific stuff
[15:53] <sludge> hey all....is there some way to copy/paste persons nick easily in Xchat?  Pidgin seemed easier than this...
[15:53] <isaias> if i use aptoncd in my virtualbox where i installed cafe con leche app, just i can install in other pc and i will be right like my virtualbox (ubuntu)??
[15:53] <erUSUL> isolat3dsh33p: /dev/null is  black hole everything sent to it is lost in oblivion
[15:53] <grawity> isolat3dsh33p: The normal output (stdout) is redirected to /dev/null -- in other words, discarded. Everything you write to /dev/null disappears.
[15:53] <Dr_Willis> michaelwoo:  because the normal gnome startup  from gdm dosent uise .xinitrc I think .xinitrc is just used by one of the special sessions in the GDM sessions menu.
[15:53] <Flamekebab> Several things, the first being the most urgent - Can anyone think why my root file system (ext3) would not have a UUID? (I've run blkid and it only gives one for my swap partition)
[15:53] <sludge> so you can easily talk back and forth...and they see your reply
[15:53] <erUSUL> zamba: that's a question for ##windows i guess
[15:53] <grawity> isolat3dsh33p: And then 2>&1 redirects stderr to stdout - so it too goes to /dev/null.
[15:54] <grawity> isolat3dsh33p: In other words, everything that the program outputs is discarded.
[15:54] <nomnex> all: reading now.
[15:54] <Dr_Willis> michaelwoo:  use the gnomd 'startup' entries to add  taht commamd to be started by gnome  is a better way
[15:54] <grawity> isolat3dsh33p: A shorter version of the same is 'some_command >& /dev/null'
[15:54] <cgroza> hello...if i restart my computer my compiz cube skydome image goes away...but if i go to ccsm the path to the skydome is there , so i have to check and uncheck the skydome box to activate it.... the picture is a png and its located in my home directory...
[15:54] <isolat3dsh33p> grawity: So, everything will be gone? So no error and output will be reported?
[15:54] <Dr_Willis> >& /dev/null   - Might not get ALL output.. i recall.. I forget what can still get seen.. stderr perhaps?
[15:55] <tos_> how can i restrict users to ONLY their home dir, and only certain process and disk usage, bandwidth etc...........................
[15:55] <grawity> isolat3dsh33p: Correct.
[15:55] <michaelwoo> Dr_Willis, i dont use gdm, i install a xubuntu, and delete the xfce, install a dwm windows manager, and i boot in root, use startx to start xorg, i put the exec dwm in xinitrc file, and it is workd, but not feh
[15:55] <erUSUL> isolat3dsh33p: exactly
[15:55] <Dr_Willis> or am i getting confused again...  been a whild since i had to mess with that.
[15:55] <Khisanth> Dr_Willis: it will, you forgot the 2 and the 1 :)
[15:55] <grawity> Dr_Willis: According to bash's manpage, ">& file" is a shortcut for redirecting both stdout and stderr.
[15:55] <Dr_Willis> michaelwoo:  be sure you got the commands in the right order. and with & at the ends where needed
[15:55] <grawity> Khisanth: Same.  ^
[15:55] <isolat3dsh33p> Dr_Willis, grawity, erUSUL : I think I got it. Thanks guys :)
[15:55] <erUSUL> tos_: strict permissions; disk quota and /etc/security/limits.conf ?
[15:56] <tos_> i type those things?
[15:56] <protojay> whats the package for apache in ubuntu?
[15:56] <grawity> protojay: apache2, probably.
[15:56] <erUSUL> !lamp | protojay
[15:56] <grawity> !info apache2
[15:57] <michaelwoo> Dr_willis, the file is just exec dwm <br> feh --bg-tile [filename], that is all, what do i need to add?
[15:57] <erUSUL> tos_: no that are pointers to the means to achive what you want.

[16:02] <Flamekebab> Several things, the first beinCan anyone think why my root file system (ext3) would not have a UUID? (I've run blkid and it only gives one for my swap partition)
[16:03] <Dr_Willis> Flamekebab:  you arwe running blkid as root?
[16:03] <sacarlson> afshine virtualbox is a simulation that you can us any operating system in what you now run
[16:03] <isaias> if that works, i will love aptonCD xD  now downloading amsn and then use aptonCD
[16:03] <isaias> thanks guys!
[16:03] <erUSUL> Flamekebab: "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/" dos not show it either ??
[16:04] <shakaran> How can grep a file for that don't contain 2 words? I use grep ^[word1|word2] but it don't work
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> shakaran:  for a line that does Not contain 2 words you mean?
[16:04] <erUSUL> shakaran: grep -v '(word1|word2)' file
[16:05] <sacarlson> afshine you can install http://www.virtualbox.org/ and try ubuntu 8.04 and see if it works before you install it ass your root system
[16:05] <Flamekebab> Nope, it just shows my swap
[16:05] <Flamekebab> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2009-12-30 14:57 d008e651-227d-470e-a4dd-6ea1ff10688e -> ../../sda5

[16:06] <PrototypeX29A> why is gparted installed on the live-cd when it is missing programs to actually work>
[16:06] <zylogz80> hello all. I installed Ubuntu on my laptop just now. Older Dell Latitude d620 CoreDuo. Out of the box no Wifi and no nVidia driver. I checked in the "Hardware Drivers" app and no drivers are listed. My wireless card is a BCM4311 and my graphics card is a GeForce Go 7300/Quadro NVS 110M. Anyone know why the restricted drivers aren't listed in Hardware Drivers for these? Thanks.
[16:06] <c3101> Flamekebab, you can change the uuid of your clokc device: uuidgen; tune2fs /dev/hdaX -U numbergeneratedbyuuidgen
[16:07] <PrototypeX29A> is there a way to resize the root partition with help of the live cd?
[16:07] <AIIID> Hi! I installed 9.10 using usb image, on my xp machine and set it to import settings, i wanted to update bu it says there is no space, how do i uninstall that linux?
[16:07] <c3101> PrototypeX29A, is your root partition a LVM device ?
[16:08] <PrototypeX29A> c3101: does that mean any partition with a number of 5 or more?
[16:08] <shakaran> erUSUL: sorry I lost my connection (wireless). Do you say something?
[16:08] <afshin> i install   python-dnspython   and now what i do?
[16:08] <erUSUL> shakaran: no checking
[16:08] <c3101> PrototypeX29A, erm, no, it means "logical volume mangament", and by that i believe that your's isn't
[16:09] <Dr_Willis> AIIID:  you mean installed  Under windows with 'wubi' or did you boot from usb and install  that way?
[16:09] <shakaran> erUSUL: ok, Im wait
[16:09] <PrototypeX29A> c3101: i don't know
[16:09] <zylogz80> Nevermind. Updated the system, rebooted, drivers are listed in "Hardware Drivers" applet. Thanks :)
[16:09] <S0LIDUS> AIIID, In Xp go to your disk manager and delete the linux partition.
[16:09] <AIIID> boot from usb
[16:09] <erUSUL> shakaran: maybe just askl in #regex ?
[16:09] <shakaran> ok, I will go there
[16:09] <PrototypeX29A> c3101: i just want to resize /dev/sda1
[16:10] <gabriel_> using ssh, how can i tell it to accept a NEW fingerprint for a known host?
[16:10] <Flamekebab> c3101, do I need to run that as root? (when I didn't it gave an error stating it couldn't find a valid superblock, when I did it seemed to do what was asked)
[16:10] <c3101> PrototypeX29A, firstly, do you want to make it bigger or smaller ?
[16:10] <PrototypeX29A> c3101: i want to make it bigger
[16:10] <c3101> Flamekebab, as root yes
[16:10] <sKreeM> PrototypeX29A: VIAGRA
[16:11] <c3101> PrototypeX29A, please supply the output of fdisk -l
[16:12] <PrototypeX29A> c3101: hmm it looks like gparted thinks the change has been made
[16:12] <PrototypeX29A> c3101: although it complained earlier, that it could not do the job
[16:12] <c3101> PrototypeX29A, well then , no problem
[16:13] <Flamekebab> c3101, how can I be sure it has worked? blkid still reports nothing
[16:13] <viking> i just installed ubuntu-desktop, and when i run it, all of my x-based apps are hogging cpu time
[16:13] <c3101> Flamekebab, sure that filesystem is healthy ?
[16:13] <viking> running 10 or so apps, all at 25% cpu or higher
[16:13] <viking> anyone know what's going on?
[16:13] <dtownhero> viking: open system monitor and have a look
[16:13] <dtownhero> or fire up a term and type top
[16:13] <erUSUL> viking: they are cpu intensive apps ?
[16:14] <erUSUL> !details | viking
[16:14] <viking> dtownhero: that's how i found out they were all using 25% cpu or higher :)
[16:14] <PrototypeX29A> c3101: well i will reboot to see whether it fucked up my partition table
[16:14] <viking> erUSUL: no
[16:14] <viking> apps like pidgin, xchat, google-chrome, etc.  all at 25% or higher and basically they're idling
[16:14] <c3101> PrototypeX29A, hope you had BACKUPS !!
[16:14] <dtownhero> you probably have something stuck in a loop somewhere or a misconfiguration somewhere
[16:14] <Pici> !ohmy | PrototypeX29A
[16:14] <PrototypeX29A> c3101: usually an errormessage while repartitioning scares me
[16:14] <dtownhero> logout and log back in
[16:14] <dtownhero> see if it still does it
[16:14] <dtownhero> no need to reboot :)
[16:14] <PrototypeX29A> Pici: shouldn't say the f word hmm?
[16:15] <kjcole> usb-creator-gtk (karmic): I have a bootable DVD using 3.4G and a USB stick with 3.8G available.  Why does usb-creator-gtk say there's not enough space?  How much space does it need?
[16:15] <Pici> PrototypeX29A: Exactly.
[16:15] <wowoto> kjcole, use a
[16:15] <PrototypeX29A> c3101: of course not :)
[16:15] <kjcole> (It's a fresh stick, and recently formatted.)
[16:16] <wowoto> kjcole, use a desktop to creat a liveUSB
[16:16] <Flamekebab> c3101, nope, although it works as I'm using it right now. How would I check and fix its health?
[16:16] <viking> dtownhero: i doubt it will help.  last time a similar thing happened and i restarted, no help
[16:16] <dtownhero> how much ram do you have?
[16:16] <viking> just to prove i'm not lying: http://twitpic.com/vvxgn
[16:17] <dtownhero> you've got something misconfigured somewhere
[16:17] <kjcole> wowoto: Are you saying that it's an issue of laptop vs. desktop?
[16:17] <dtownhero> whoa
[16:17] <viking> i have plenty of memory
[16:17] <dtownhero> #1 why is your gnome-screensaver running?
[16:17] <Jad-J> hello I want a file manager.. better than Nautilus.. any ideas which one to choose?
[16:17] <c3101> Flamekebab, running fsck.ext3 on a mounted file system is _not_ recommended, but you can force it if you want to
[16:17] <PrototypeX29A> can i get grub to boot from cd?
[16:17] <Pici> !who
[16:17] <viking> gnome-screensaver isn't always #1.
[16:17] <Flamekebab> c3101, should I run it from a maintenance shell?
[16:17] <viking> they all jump around
[16:18] <dtownhero> yeah I'm sure they do
[16:18] <c3101> Flamekebab, preferbly
[16:18] <dtownhero> but you shouldn't have screensaver running while you're logged into X
[16:18] <sacarlson> ﻿PrototypeX29A yes there is a super grub you can boot
[16:18] <viking> no?
[16:18] <viking> hmm
[16:18] <tos_> how do i kill a user from root
[16:18] <dtownhero> you've got something messed up somewhere - start dumping dmesg logs and stuff
[16:18] <kjcole> wowoto: (I'm not running from the bootable DVD.  I have a fully installed system.)
[16:19] <wowoto> kjcole,  no, i mean ,most of the time we need a liveUSB o livecd to rescue our system ,so ,thers the desktop can work,and the DVD
[16:19] <wowoto> kjcole, so
[16:19] <xander> hello, i run ubuntu 8.04 and i want to install ubuntu 9.10 but, i cant burn cd's how can i install ubuntu 9.10?
[16:19] <PrototypeX29A> sacarlson: a super grub?
[16:19] <Jad-J> !tab
[16:19] <wowoto> kj
[16:19] <viking> checking dmesg
[16:19] <Jad-J> hello I want a file manager.. better than Nautilus.. any ideas which one to choose?
[16:19] <Flamekebab> c3101, how do I force a maintenance shell?
[16:19] <c3101> Jad-J, mc :)
[16:19] <xander> hello, i run ubuntu 8.04 and i want to install ubuntu 9.10 but, i cant burn cd's how can i install ubuntu 9.10?
[16:19] <wowoto> kjcole, then the usb should be as big as 5G
[16:19] <erUSUL> Flamekebab: in grub choose recovery mode
[16:19] <PrototypeX29A> sacarlson: no actually i wanted to use the normal Grub2
[16:19] <sacarlson> prototypex291 http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[16:20] <Jad-J> c3101: mc?
[16:20] <c3101> Flamekebab, best you boot of a liveCD i recon
[16:20] <xander> hello, i run ubuntu 8.04 and i want to install ubuntu 9.10 but, i cant burn cd's how can i install ubuntu 9.10?
[16:20] <c3101> Jad-J, Midnight Commander
[16:20] <sacarlson> prototypex29a I'm sure that option is there if all you need it grub too boot
[16:20] <wowoto> xander, use live USB
[16:20] <Flamekebab> I'll do that shortly. First I must ask, which package is it that gives gnome in Karmic its distinctive look? I seem to have uninstalled it whilst removing components I didn't want and now Gnome looks rather blocky and old-fashioned
[16:20] <kjcole> wowoto: Damn.  Someone needs to add that sort of stuff to the documentation. I checked the size of the DVD and got the USB size based on that.  Oh well. Thanks.
[16:20] <OerHeks> xander how did you install 8.04 ?
[16:21] <Lantizia> xander, you shouldn't need the CD... you can just upgrade over the internet
[16:21] <Flamekebab> c3101, not an option, I'm using a Toshiba Portege 3490CT, it doesn't have a disc drive
[16:21] <leo_> do u know the best way to download films or wii games?
[16:21] <erUSUL> !piracy
[16:21] <xander> someone gave me this disk so i could install 8.04, i read on the site i can install via USB stick, and i tried to get sudo apto-get install usb-creator
[16:21] <Jad-J> c3101: I didn't find it
[16:21] <grawity> leo_: Yes. But not going to tell you. See ubottu's message above.
[16:22] <OerHeks> leo_ i do ( but don't tell u )
[16:22] <leo_> jajajaja
[16:22] <Jad-J> c3101: sry now I did.. in synaptic not ubuntu download center
[16:22] <viking> dtownhero: gonna log off and see what i can figure out
[16:22] <nomnex> where can I grab a free windows live CD to update my laptop BIOS?
[16:22] <yadudoc> I installed linux kernel 2.3.31-17 from the updates.... i'm having display issues... can someone tell me how to uninstall it .?
[16:22] <kjcole> !
[16:22] <Jad-J> btw when I use ubuntu download center.. when I download I get an error for: unauthenticated packages..
[16:23] <sacarlson> ﻿xander: did that usb creator work?  my usb drive was bad and I didn't have the space I need to install.
[16:23] <Jad-J> every time.. and I can't continue.. but synaptic and apt-get always works.. how can I fix this?
[16:23] <xander> it said it was missing packet files and couldnt bring it in
[16:23] <OerHeks> nomnex live cd windos @ microsoft
[16:23] <kjcole> !o4o
[16:23] <nomnex> OerHeks: I just need this to update the bios. Is it free?
[16:24] <AIIID> during instalation i choose import settings. So does the system duplicate files?
[16:24] <xander> sacarlson: it said it was missing packet files and couldnt bring it in
[16:24] <wowoto> kjcole, the live USB can do lots of things ,try it
[16:24] <wowoto> Flamekebab, try the nimbus-theme _http://dlc.sun.com/osol/jds/downloads/extras/nimbus/
[16:24] <c3101> Jad-J, you could also try the "graphical" version: http://www.nongnu.org/gcmd/
[16:24] <sacarlson> xander: bummer
[16:24] <OerHeks> nomnex i guess the bios update will go tru the bios itself, or the update is a small prog op a floppydisk
[16:24] <OerHeks> no need for windows
[16:25] <xander> sacarlson: i tried to get the ISO file on a disk with a burner at my mom, but it dident work.
[16:25] <nomnex> OerHeks: it's a laptop. there only a .exe package to update the BIOS
[16:25] <yellabs> hi there
[16:25] <sal_> xander, i'm not sure usb-creator is suppoerted in 8.04.  maybe just order a disc from cononical .. ?
[16:25] <sacarlson> xander: I just got my pxe boot to work, it's cool I can boot many system over lan
[16:25] <yellabs> can the webcam app cheese also record sound?
[16:26] <OerHeks> nomnex probably the .exe is a self-extracting iso for floppy ?
[16:26] <sacarlson> xander: even with small usb drive I can boot any system
[16:26] <xander> sal_: i cant wait 6 weeks to get the disk arroved.
[16:26] <kickar> hey what video driver do i need to SiS 771/671 video ?
[16:26] <kickar> anyone can help me ?
[16:26] <matu> hi i cant chown my mounted partition
[16:26] <nomnex> OerHeks: no floppy on this machine
[16:26] <yadudoc> does anyone know how i might rollback the recent update to kernel 2.6.31.17 ???
[16:26] <AIIID> during instalation i choose import settings from winxp . Does the system duplicate files or keeps them synced?
[16:27] <matu> how to do it please? it says me i dont have permission
[16:27] <grawity> !arm
[16:27] <sacarlson> xander: but needs to be on my local network
[16:27] <grawity> ah, damn. wrong channel.
[16:27] <wowoto> matu, sudo gnome-open /media/XX
[16:27] <OerHeks> nomnex i would not try using wine to update a bios
[16:28] <yellabs> maybe bartpe for the bios update?
[16:28] <matu> sudo gnome-open /dev/sda5 /home/matu/Bureau/data
[16:28] <matu>  does not work
[16:28] <nomnex> OerHeks: sure not. I remember a live windows but I can't remember the name. SAM part?
[16:28] <viking> dtownhero: rebooted, everything's cool now
[16:28] <sacarlson> ﻿matu:  do you have  the root password.  it should work with sudo su
[16:28] <matu> i just want to mount and chown my partition wtf ?
[16:28] <matu> no it does not work
[16:28] <yadudoc> does anyone know how i might rollback the recent update to kernel 2.6.31.17 ???
[16:28] <yellabs> hirens boot cd is an other option
[16:28] <matu> how to do it please? it says me i dont have permission
[16:28] <viking> dtownhero: it happened when i tried to change the window theme, then everything froze.  i logged out and logged back in, but all of those processes were still running
[16:29] <dtownhero> viking: I had problems a while back where if I used suspend on my session the pulse-audio would skyrocket and make everything else jump
[16:29] <wowoto> matu, then you can edit  /etc/fstab
[16:29] <nomnex> anyone with the name of this free live windows cd to update a bios the easy way?
[16:29] <ssv1994> yadudoc: why would you want to do that?
[16:29] <viking> dtownhero: weird
[16:29] <matu> it wont solve the probleme because i cant chown my partition that i just mounted
[16:29] <dtownhero> how were you installing the theme
[16:29] <OerHeks> nomnex get support from manufacturor for update tru usb
[16:29] <isolat3dsh33p> anyone knows how to install the latest alienarena? I always get the libXxf86dga.so.1 cannot be open error when trying to run crx.

[16:29] <dtownhero> I've also had problems where while dragging the theme tar.gz file into the appearance window it would hang
[16:29] <yellabs> LOL
[16:29] <nomnex> OerHeks: old machine, it does not boot from usb
[16:29] <sacarlson> ﻿matu:  when you type> sudo su it should ask for the password then >chown youruser:youruser *
[16:29] <dtownhero> strange
[16:30] <viking> dtownhero: yeah, it was a bit weird
[16:30] <wowoto> matu, thats the shortcut   sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[16:30] <viking> dtownhero: thanks for your help
[16:30] <dtownhero> I was going to comment on your theme but thought I'd leave it alone :p

[16:32] <matu> chown -R matu.matu /home/matu/Bureau/data
[16:32] <sacarlson> matu: oh maybe you want to open nautilus in sudo with gksu nautilus
[16:32] <matu> sudo chown -R matu.matu /home/matu/Bureau/data does not work, do you understand ? it says me "you dont have the partitions"
[16:32] <matu> sudo chown -R matu.matu /home/matu/Bureau/data does not work, do you understand ? it says me "you dont have the partitions"

[16:33] <OerHeks> nomnex what type notebook do you have, maybe the manufacturor has a solution
[16:34] <Rapaz> alguem me ajuda?
[16:34] <matu> sudo chown -R matu.matu /home/matu/Bureau/data ? says me "you dont have the authorizations" what am i supposed to do ?
[16:34] <^paul^^> Ciao a tutti. Auguri di una splendida giornata
[16:34] <Pici> !it | ^paul^^
[16:34] <sacarlson> matu: it should ask for a password
[16:34] <matu> yes and you are just unable to answer correctly so please shut up sacarlson

[16:35] <matu> yes sudo sometime ask for a password, great news !
[16:35] <beefbox> anyone else experiencing compiz failure?
[16:35] <AIIID> why did instalation made 814MB partition called swap space, do i need it?
[16:35] <nomnex> OerHeks: Sony and it's Japan. Zero tolerance for Linux here on the JP maker side
[16:35] <sacarlson> matu: there is also something call gksu  used for window apps like nautlis
[16:36] <Flamekebab> wowoto, I had the theme or whatever installed but it seems to have been removed when I removed stuff. Any ideas which package it was? (I did a search in synaptic for "nimbus" and I don't see anything, which suggests to me that it was something else)
[16:36] <beefbox> mysterious compiz failure anyone wanna bounce ideas with me?
[16:36] <grawity> AIIID: Almost all operating systems reserve some disk space as "swap" or "virtual memory", where it stores things when it runs out of memory.  Windows uses a big file, Unix/Linux - a partition (but can use a file too).
[16:36] <grawity> AIIID: How much RAM does your computer have?
[16:37] <AIIID> 2GB
[16:37] <matu> wowoto operation unpermitted
[16:37] <OerHeks> nomnex if the bios get corrupted, using wine, you will have no guarantee ,,, all you need is a dos prompt, right ?
[16:37] <AIIID> grawity: 2GB
[16:37] <matu> frankly answering stupid things you are just destroying the linux community
[16:37] <wowoto> matu, sorry ,i dont know how to fix it
[16:38] <llutz> matu: what filesystem is /home/matu/Bureau/data on?
[16:38] <nomnex> OerHeks: sorry but kill me I will never run wine or any windoze stuff, I just want to boot with a live CD and update the BIOS in a way or another.
[16:38] <matu> llutz vfat
[16:38] <llutz> matu: theres your answer
[16:38] <grawity> matu: and vfat does not support ownership or permissions.
[16:38] <llutz> matu: chown works only on unix-fs
[16:38] <matu> thank you but it worked using another distro
[16:38] <llutz> matu: it cannot
[16:39] <Dreamglider> AIIID, then you could decrease the swap size to 4Gb, it's common to have a swap size of two times the amount of ram
[16:39] <matu> ok
[16:39] <matu> thank you grawity and llutz
[16:39] <llutz> matu: you have to use mount-options
[16:39] <baz_work> I recieved a "remote assistance" request in my email (Invitation.msrcIncident) from a Win7 machine, and would like to use it from my ubuntu box. This is different from remote desktop, of course. How can I process that file in ubuntu?
[16:39] <matu> thank you
[16:39] <matu> bye
[16:39] <grawity> Dreamglider: "decrease"? He has ~800 MB swap. (Which is enough.)
[16:39] <jonaz_> anyone have a moment to help a complete noob with a simple networking problem?
[16:39] <Kirsch> hey all, i have an old(er) MSI board with 2 SATA ports on it, i can't seem to get linux to detect it (at least the linux rescue complains about not being able to see it) and i'm not 100% sure if the bios sees it but i'm also curious if the drivers were loaded which would mean that something else is wrong, can someone help me diagnose? not really sure where to begin...
[16:39] <llutz> !ask | jonaz_
[16:39] <wowoto> Flamekebab, ,i mean ,try to install another gnome-theme,and use it ,   <nimbus>is a gnome-theme made by SUN
[16:40] <Dreamglider> grawity, ah my bad i read 8000 and something ram.
[16:40] <OerHeks> nomnex maybe this will do > http://www.bootdisk.com/usb.htm
[16:40] <chazco> Hi... Ubuntu doesn't support my sound card correctly - can I report this somewhere?
[16:40] <nomnex> OerHeks: checking now. thanks
[16:40] <mau> ciao
[16:41] <jonaz_> hey llutz, thanks! so, I plugged in an ethernet cable and it won't connect to the internet... networking is enabled on the thingy on the upper right corner... ifconfig eth0 shows nothing-- not sure what to do to troubleshoot
[16:41] <kickar> can anyone help me with installing driver for sis video ?
[16:41] <kickar> what driver do i need ?
[16:41] <mostapha> how can i copy files from my pc to remote pc when i'm logged in to it through shell?
[16:41] <grawity> nomnex: First you ask for a Windows LiveCD, then say "I will never run any windoze stuff"
[16:41] <sal_> AIIID, with 2 gb ram, 800 mb swap is plenty.  i would leave it as is
[16:41] <grawity> mostapha: scp, sftp
[16:41] <mostapha> grawity: thanks
[16:41] <llutz> jonaz_: connected to a router with dhcp?
[16:41] <jonaz_> nope
[16:41] <jonaz_> oh, well, yes
[16:42] <jonaz_> the router works fine and uses DHCP
[16:42] <sacarlson> ﻿kickar: I never herd of sis video, it don't plug and play?
[16:42] <jonaz_> should get an ip from there, theoretically
[16:42] <kosmic> every time my eth0 or wlan0 goes up my personal preferences in /etc/resolv.conf are changed to whatever my router wants, not what i want
[16:42] <kosmic> i need static dns server
[16:42] <kosmic> s
[16:42] <llutz> jonaz_: try "sudo dhclient3 eth0" in a terminal
[16:42] <kickar> sacarlson,  SiS 771/671 nope it doesnt plug and play
[16:42] <kosmic> i am surely NOT WILLING TO screw with these settings whenever my router updates them
[16:43] <llutz> kosmic: edit dhclient.conf
[16:43] <jonaz_> looks like it's doing something
[16:43] <OerHeks> nomnex else http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/  see section DOS Boot Disks
[16:43] <Pici> kosmic: You can add an entry in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to ensure that your nameservers get added.  Let me get you the syntax.
[16:43] <kosmic> llutz, thanks. ill do so
[16:44] <kosmic> pici, oh okay

[16:44] <nomnex> OerHeks: thanks, still reading the first link
[16:44] <jonaz_> llutz: so there were several lines of DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 with different intervals, then it said "No DHCPOFFERS recieved"
[16:45] <llutz> jonaz_: so your router doesn't answer
[16:45] <kosmic> alright guys
[16:45] <kosmic> thanks
[16:45] <llutz> jonaz_: "sudo ethtool eth0 | grep Link"
[16:45] <jonaz_> well, so it seems, but I have two other devices connected to that router and it seems to be working with them... trying ethtool now
[16:46] <sacarlson> kickar: looks like your out of luck and stuck with vesa
[16:46] <ivanc> jonaz_: sudo mii-tool eth0
[16:46] <jonaz_> Link detected: no
[16:46] <erUSUL> !info xserver-xorg-video-sis | kickar
[16:46] <kickar> sacarlson,  any idea to get resolution better than 800x600
[16:46] <kickar> erUSUL, i have already have that installed ....
[16:46] <jonaz_> ivanc: no MII tranciever present
[16:46] <nomnex> grawity: U give me a way to update a BIOS without resorting to any windoze stuff. I don't want to install. Don't need to be lectured
[16:46] <Pici> kosmic: You'll need to add a line that looks like the following, with your dns servers instead: prepend domain-name-servers 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2;
[16:46] <llutz> jonaz_: check your cable
[16:47] <AIIID> Debconf during update what to choose?
[16:47] <ivanc> jonaz_: ok :) but your ethernet adapter are disconnected
[16:47] <erUSUL> kickar: use "sudo Xorg -configure" to generate a xorg.conf you can later tweak
[16:47] <llutz> ivanc: mii-tool is outdated
[16:47] <ivanc> jonaz_: try to replug the ethernet cable
[16:47] <kosmic> pici, add to what, /etc/resolv.conf?
[16:47] <mostapha> sftp Mess/Joomla/Joomla_1.5.15-Stable-Full_Package root@rackisland.com:/home/rack/public_htm/
[16:47] <Pici> kosmic: to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[16:47] <mostapha> shouldn't that work?
[16:48] <kosmic> oh alright
[16:48] <jonaz_> just checked the cable, looks like it's just fine. perhaps it's some kind of weird hardware setting on my netbook
[16:48] <llutz> mostapha: scp
[16:48] <jonaz_> could the port be disabled on the OS level?
[16:48] <llutz> jonaz_: Link = no means not connected, so check cable/plugs/etc.
[16:48] <mostapha> llutz: scp just keeps going on, i doesn't ask me for password or something
[16:48] <ivanc> jonaz_: the cable are ok??
[16:49] <jonaz_> cable is just fine
[16:49] <ivanc> llutz: tnks for the info :)
[16:49] <erUSUL> jonaz_: maybe you need a crossover cable ?
[16:49] <seomrd> hi
[16:49] <mostapha> llutz: ok it worked
[16:49] <mostapha> llutz: thanks
[16:49] <llutz> erUSUL: for pc <-> router? i doubt that
[16:49] <jonaz_> just disconnected a device and used its cable... link still not detected
[16:49] <seomrd> how do i use IRC ?
[16:49] <grawity> seomrd: you are using it right now
[16:49] <petsounds> hi. is it possible to get deb package for nvidia driver 185? my friend here only have dial up connections.
[16:49] <nomnex> OerHeks: thanks for the links. DOS Boot disk might be the answer.
[16:50] <seomrd> how to send a message for some one ?
[16:50] <jonaz_> erUSUL: what is a crossover cable?
[16:50] <llutz> jonaz_: tried different router-port?
[16:50] <OerHeks> nomnex succes
[16:50] <grawity> seomrd: private? /msg nickname message
[16:50] <llutz> jonaz_: used to connect 2 pc
[16:50] <grawity> seomrd: also /query nickname
[16:50] <BlackFate_>  petsounds, packages.ubuntu.com
[16:50] <sacarlson> ﻿seomrd:  I think that's what your doing now.  you can PM (privat message) also
[16:50] <erUSUL> llutz: just jumped in the middle maybe is the other way around? is using crossover for a stright connection?
[16:51] <jonaz_> tried all router ports and several cables. the router is currently working with 2 other devices perfectly. it seems there is some reason ubuntu or my bios is not recognizing the physical device.
[16:51] <llutz> erUSUL: jonaz_ checked with different cable from working other device, still no Link
[16:52] <jonaz_> I'm using an MSI Wind U123, if that's of any assistance
[16:52] <sacarlson> erUSUL: llutz: I guess if the lights on the ethernet come on they are good to go?
[16:53] <llutz> sacarlson: then ethtool should report link=yes too
[16:53] <freeride> guys, where do i found different sounds in ubuntu?
[16:53] <erUSUL> freeride: /usr/share/sounds/ ?
[16:53] <sacarlson> llutz: if the dhcp server is up I guess yes.
[16:53] <llutz> jonaz_: but check it, does the LED shine when you plugin a cable?
[16:53] <jonaz_> btw, the light on the router for the connected port comes on when i plug the cable in, so the router recognizes some kind of connection
[16:53] <jonaz_> there is no LED on the computer
[16:54] <freeride> erUSUL thanks!
[16:54] <llutz> sacarlson: ethtool works on physical connection, nothing to do with dhcp or whatever
[16:54] <sacarlson> llutz: you can try static ip setup and ping and see if that works
[16:54] <llutz> sacarlson: you can, but it won't work
[16:54] <sacarlson> llutz: I use wireshark
[16:55] <llutz> sacarlson: what are you trying? throwing buzzwords into the channel for what? what should wireshark help without connection?
[16:55] <sacarlson> llutz: why not you tried already?
[16:55] <jonaz_> I may have done something stupid recently and removed some necessary package
[16:55] <jonaz_> tried to do some housekeeping
[16:55] <ccmonster> hey guys, in my phpinfo it reads that my PEAR JSON extension is intalled and Enabled, yet I am having issues.
[16:55] <llutz> jonaz_: if your device is present and up, eth-driver works.
[16:55] <sacarlson> llutz: if you ping even without a conection you should see trafic with wireshark
[16:55] <ccmonster> anything extra i need to do that might just be Ubuntu related?
[16:55] <llutz> sacarlson: which helps 0

[16:56] <Yggdrasil> can somone tell me which release came after hardY?
[16:56] <Pici> Yggdrasil: Intrepid
[16:56] <llutz> Yggdrasil .... long time ago.... scnr
[16:56] <sacarlson> llutz:  you should also see dhcp transactions from the client and from the dhcp server
[16:56] <jonaz_> so, if my laptop is being recognized by the router, that means eth driver is working properly?
[16:56] <llutz> sacarlson: scroll back, you'll see his dhcp-request
[16:56] <Yggdrasil> pici thanks

[17:05] <erUSUL> cairo dock?
[17:05] <luisgmarine> kickar: does docky count as it?
[17:05] <jonaz_> llutz: just rebooted with cable plugged in, per article instructions which worked

[17:06] <luisgmarine> kickar: I have it on my desktop and it kicks @$$
[17:06] <Dr_Willis> AIIID:  its a service. if its installed.. it should auto staert. or use the command 'sudo service SERVICENAME start'
[17:06] <erUSUL> AIIID: sudo invoke-rc.d sshd start
[17:06] <luisgmarine> kickar: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Docky

[17:07] <bcool> I mounted an 8 gig mp3 player and ubuntu says that it's only 4 gigs.
[17:07] <scorpid> hi everybody i have a problelm
[17:07] <L3dPlatedLinux> nice  went from geforce fx 5200 w/128mb on card to a bfg geforce 7600gs 512 ddr2 on card with out a hitch sweet right
[17:07] <bcool> how do I get ubuntu to recognize the lost 4 gigs?
[17:08] <KaiForce> can I assume that large file support is enabled in a default samba install on Karmic?
[17:08] <dath> bcool: use 64 bit ubuntu
[17:08] <scorpid> when i trying to use mencoder i take this shell error : file name is too long
[17:08] <scorpid> too much parameters there
[17:08] <grawity> dath: uh. He's talking about storage, not RAM.
[17:08] <nixfreak2> question how can I back up a tar file on a ubuntu server and transfer to a windows box using samba
[17:08] <scorpid> what can i do for that
[17:08] <nixfreak2> the ubuntu server does not have a gui
[17:09] <erUSUL> nixfreak2: 1) mount the samba share  2) copy the file 3) profit
[17:09] <erUSUL> !samba | nixfreak2
[17:09] <KaiForce> nixfreak2 - you can use smbclient
[17:10] <ikxhitiz> i am not being able to connect net in ubuntu 9.10
[17:10] <sacarlson> ﻿nixfreak2: nautilus works with samba
[17:10] <erUSUL> !details | ikxhitiz
[17:10] <flan_suse> What does it mean when the AppArmor wizard wants to create a rule for ^null? For example: /usr/bin/firefox^null-4e      This makes creating a rule in AppArmor very tedious and time consuming, since this pops up MANY times.
[17:11] <KaiForce> L3dPlatedLinux the 5200 was a classic card, rock solid
[17:11] <Taravel> hi
[17:11] <KaiForce> slow by modern standards though
[17:11] <zanberdo> General question: I have s server that is connected to the net via a cellular modem. Due to poor connectivity I find that I have to reset the modem occasionally I have a watchdog script I run in cron which pings google, if 100% packet loss I restart the modem and then restart networking using /etc/init.d/network restart.  I'm wondering if there isn't a better way to restart networking, somthing cleaner perhaps?
[17:11] <scorpid> when i trying to use mencoder i take this shell error : file name is too long too much parameters there. What can i do for it
[17:11] <Taravel> can anyone help me to set the wifi on a HP dv6000 ? I can't switch-on the wlan card
[17:11] <erUSUL> zanberdo: cleaner than that? no
[17:11] <zanberdo> scorpid, provide comment line.
[17:12] <KaiForce> any samba pros around?  how can I tell if large file support is enabled?
[17:12] <L3dPlatedLinux> KaiForce,  true
[17:12] <ikxhitiz> i have created dsl connection and entered username and password and when i try to connect, it gets disconnected after a while.
[17:12] <ikxhitiz> i am using ubuntu 9.10
[17:12] <ikxhitiz> ultimate 2.5
[17:12] <grawity> KaiForce: smbd -b | grep -i largefile
[17:13] <zanberdo> erUSUL, yeah, I figured /etc/init.d/networking restart was the correct approach. I guess I'm wondering if my general approach is sound. That is, once I restart the modem, should I necessarily have to restart networking or mightn't it start on it's own.
[17:13] <scorpid> zanberdo sh: [mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=xvcd -vf scale=352:288,harddup -srate 44100 -af lavcresample=44100\t-lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:keyint=15:vrc_buf_size=327:vrc_minrate=1152:vbitrate=1152:vrc_maxrate=1152:acodec=mp2:abitrate=224:aspect=16/9 -ofps 25 "./MVI_1270.AVI" -o "./dedem1.mpg"]: File name too long
[17:13] <KaiForce> grawity:  thanks, it looks like it does...
[17:13] <zanberdo> scorpid, sorry, I meant to say: provide the command line you are using. Or better yet, pastebin the command and the results.
[17:13] <xlost> hola
[17:14] <jonaz_> quick question: anyone know how to check if I have 64-bit or 32-bit architecture and whether I am running the appropriate version?
[17:14] <bcool> so no ideas on how to get ubuntu to recognize the other 4 gigs on my mp3 player?
[17:14] <xlost> ???
[17:14] <llutz> jonaz_: uname -m
[17:14] <jonaz_> thanks
[17:14] <llutz> jonaz_: uname -a  for running system
[17:14] <jonaz_> does i686 mean 32 bit?
[17:14] <grawity> LinuxRox_: they both give the same.
[17:14] <grawity> er.
[17:14] <grawity> llutz: ^
[17:14] <llutz> jonaz_: yes
[17:14] <jonaz_> cool
[17:15] <KaiForce> that won't tell him the architecture, only which version he has installed
[17:15] <mka> scorpid, do you have to use commandline not a GUI application like avidemux?
[17:15] <erUSUL> scorpid: what is this ?? ---> ...44100\t-lavcopts ???
[17:15] <zanberdo> jonaz_,  should have 'x86_64' in output if you are running 64-bit
[17:15] <erUSUL> scorpid: seems a spce is needed there and probably drop the \t
[17:15] <mka> bcool, maybe there are ideas
[17:15] <KaiForce> i think he wants to verify whether or not he has 64bit platform
[17:15] <jonaz_> is Intel Atom a 64-bit processor?
[17:16] <zanberdo> scorpid, erUSUL beat me to the punch. I was going to ask why the \t...
[17:16] <erUSUL> jonaz_: grep --color ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo
[17:16] <KaiForce> jonaz_:  I think there are both 32 and 64 bit atom procs
[17:16] <erUSUL> jonaz_: if you see a red lm your cpu can do 64 bits
[17:16] <spuck> Okay so I have just set up ubuntu (used the server version since I use openbox and other lightweight apps) anyway I need some help getting some sound out of my soundcard. I've installed alsa (sudo apt-get alsa) and tweaked alsamixer so it should work, but of course it doesn't. Here's some random output that might be useful: http://pastebin.ca/1731983 as you can see alsamixer output looks a bit weird, like there's stuff missing but I don't
[17:16] <Pulga> hi
[17:16] <mka> bcool, hi Pulga
[17:17] <KaiForce> jonaz_:  Atom 200 or 300 looks like 64 bit, otherwise no
[17:17] <jonaz_> gotcha. thanks guys
[17:17] <mka> bcool, so what exactly is your problem?
[17:17] <bcool> I mounted a creative zen MP3 player
[17:17] <bcool> the mp3 player is 8 gigs
[17:17] <Fabian> kj nblhhj
[17:17] <KaiForce> bcool:  model?
[17:17] <bcool> ubuntu is only showing 4
[17:18] <bcool> I dunno model
[17:18] <erUSUL> spuck: you have two soundcards (onboard and a xonar) maybe the system is using the wrong one
[17:18] <mdgeorge> hello
[17:19] <KaiForce> how do you know it is 8?
[17:19] <zanberdo> jonaz_, KaiForce is correct, there are 32-bit and 64-bit atoms. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Atom_microprocessors for more details.
[17:19] <mdgeorge> happy holidays everyone
[17:19] <bcool> says so on the back
[17:19] <bcool> and I confirmed it with windows
[17:19] <mdgeorge> I'm trying to install the java plugin, but apt-get install sun-java6-plugin gives an error (version mismatch)
[17:19] <mdgeorge> does anyone know what I need to do?
[17:19] <mdgeorge> am I trying to install the wrong package?
[17:19] <BluesKaj> mdgeorge, 64bit?
[17:20] <mdgeorge> BluesKaj: yes

[17:24] <jonaz_> so, another problem I was hoping to troubleshoot... I'm trying to connect to an open wireless network, but ubuntu's network manager fails to connect to it. When I dual boot into Windows using the same computer, it has no trouble connecting to this network. Anything I can do about this?
[17:24] <llutz> jonaz_: tried wicd instead of networkmanager?
[17:25] <mka> bcool, I cannot see the MP3 stick
[17:25] <jonaz_> will install and give it a shot... just sudo apt-get wicd?
[17:25] <llutz> jonaz_: yes or just try it manually, using iwconfig
[17:25] <jonaz_> ok
[17:25] <bcool> I did what you told me
[17:25] <bcool> the mp3 player is plugged in.
[17:25] <OerHeks> gmachine_24 something like this > sudo find / -name '*' -size +500M
[17:25] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: wait!
[17:25] <mka> bcool, you said it is 8GB
[17:25] <bcool> yes
[17:26] <jonaz_> yes, luisgmarine?
[17:26] <bcool> but linux is only showing 4
[17:26] <S0LIDUS> ! wicd
[17:26] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: can your wireless device see your network?  And when you click connect nothing happens?

[17:26] <wastrel> gmachine_24: also filelight
[17:26] <mka> bcool, please show me how you are seeing this 4GB
[17:27] <S0LIDUS> llutz, wats wicd?
[17:27] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: here I just fixed that on my laptop, you don't have to install wicd.  What you need is to give your pc a static IP.
[17:27] <OerHeks> ah wastrel he needs a GUI ?
[17:27] <scorpid> mka erUSUL zanberdo thanks for you i found the problem with your help but it says now not found. it is again a shell error

[17:29] <bcool> nm, I got the screenshot bit down
[17:29] <markt> My mouse cursor is no longer responding, however the keyboard still works. Where should I look to find errors?
[17:29] <erUSUL> gmachine_24: that will give you the 25 bigger files from the list of the ones greater than 100M
[17:29] <S0LIDUS> jonathaN,
[17:29] <mka> bcool, Accessories > Take Screenshort
[17:29] <Zerro> Any have any idea why my My Book HDD stopped showing up?
[17:29] <mka> bcool, Accessories > Take Screenshot
[17:29] <bcool> I got it
[17:30] <OerHeks> nice code erUSUL !
[17:30] <erUSUL> gmachine_24: you can remove -size +100M if you want to chack all files
[17:30] <mka> bcool, or simply PrtSc button for the whole screen
[17:30] <erUSUL> gmachine_24: but it will take a while
[17:30] <erUSUL> OerHeks: :P
[17:30] <S0LIDUS> jonaz_, When you say open, what encryption are you using?
[17:30] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: nvm then install wicd.  Lol I could tell you what I was going to say but this worked for my home network
[17:30] <jonaz_> SOLIDUS: no encryption. it's an unencrypted open public network
[17:30] <bcool> mka: http://img684.imageshack.us/i/screenshotcreativezenpr.png/
[17:31] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: thanks, though
[17:31] <kickar> hey can anyone recoomend me simple to install dock without opengl ?
[17:32] <dnivra> kickar: use cairo dock it has a non-openGL version too.
[17:32] <S0LIDUS> jonaz_, Sorry, the only reason why I ask is it you can have guest access.
[17:32] <catherine> is there something like fspot to manage my movies ?
[17:32] <pjotter> Hello. Having soms trouble with automatic network-detection under Karmic. Any experts here?
[17:32] <mka> bcool, it's 4.1GB used and 3.6GB free that adds up to 7.7GB which is 8GB if you calculate accurately
[17:33] <Il__Matteo> hi folks! i'm trying to print a pdf (2 pages) but the process has been taking FIFTEEN minutes so far, and it has printed just a quarter of page! it's ridiculously slow! can anybody help me? (ubuntu 9.10)
[17:33] <bcool> I think you got GB and MB confused mka
[17:33] <jonaz_> llutz: so, now that wicd is installed, the icon for networkmanager doesn't do anything... how do i get a gui interface for wicd?
[17:33] <mka> bcool, Sooorrry!!
[17:33] <mka> bcool, yeah, I messed up
[17:33] <bcool> I've confirmed I have most of the entire 8 gigs free
[17:33] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: Applications > Internet > WICD
[17:34] <pjotter> jonaz have you tried # wicd-client -n ?
[17:34] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: right..
[17:35] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: is it there?
[17:35] <mka> bcool, it shows your filesystem format as gphoto2 ??? whatever that is, can you see this drive being mounted if you type "df -h" ?
[17:35] <OerHeks> Il__Matteo usb or parallel printer ?
[17:35] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: yeah, it's there. trying to connect to the network now and it seems it was unable to get an address from DHCP
[17:36] <erUSUL> mka: gphoto2 is a lib to mount special filesystem for cameras (the ones that does not appear as usb storege)
[17:36] <two> can someone tell me why my ubuntu logon sound is distorted in 9.10?
[17:36] <Il__Matteo> OerHeks, usb, thanks god
[17:36] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: assing it a static IP
[17:36] <bcool> I don't see anything that looks like my mp3 player
[17:36] <OerHeks> Il__Matteo usb 1 or usb2 ?
[17:36] <spuck> Hello! Okay, so I have just set up ubuntu (used the server version since I use openbox and other lightweight apps) anyway I need some help getting some sound out of my soundcard. I've only installed alsa (sudo apt-get alsa) and tweaked alsamixer so it should work, but of course it doesn't. Here's some random output that might be useful: http://pastebin.ca/1731983 as you can see alsamixer output looks a bit weird, like there's stuff missin
[17:36] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: how do i do that?
[17:36] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: but the program there is that you would need the routers IP
[17:36] <mka> erUSUL, then how to mount that as a file storage?
[17:37] <Tesssa> at least you get a logon sound i don't
[17:37] <two> Tesssa: sorry to hear that
[17:37] <pjotter> I've had so many error with 9.10 that I
[17:37] <Il__Matteo> OerHeks, i don't know. anyway, 1,5 megabyte should be transferred in a little time even on USB 1
[17:37] <pjotter> m reverting back to 8.04.
[17:37] <OerHeks> Il__Matteo maybe entering printer settings and select 'draft' wil reduce data
[17:37] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: so, if I manage to find the router's IP, I just try with a static IP that DCHP would have assigned (like, 10.10.1.X?)
[17:37] <pjotter> See if that solves soms problems
[17:37] <Il__Matteo> OerHeks, thanks, but i don't need draft. i need high quality.
[17:38] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: when you open up WICD and hit configure for your wireless device there should be an option to set up a static ip
[17:38] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: found it
[17:38] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: I would assume so, for me all I did was 192.168.1.16, of couse 192.168.1.1 is my routers IP
[17:38] <two> can someone tell me why my ubuntu logon sound is distorted in 9.10?
[17:38] <Tesssa> udpgraded from 9.4 to 9.10 and lost the loin and log out and other sounds
[17:38] <Il__Matteo> OerHeks, and the document is not that big, as you read
[17:38] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: will give it a shot
[17:38] <mka> bcool, have you ever accessed your files in your device by nautilus?
[17:38] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: sweet let me knwo how it goes
[17:39] <edbian> I'm looking for a really easy to use and set up file sharing package to share files between a suse laptop and an ubuntu laptop.  Any suggestions?
[17:39] <bcool> no
[17:39] <OerHeks> Il__Matteo yes, i see, i think you just have to go on, can't  speed it up
[17:39] <cuchulainq> Hi there, first time using irc and for some reason I can't register my nick, error: my email is not a valid address, any help it is much appreciated
[17:39] <pjotter> Tesssa: I have many problems with sound too under 9.10. Dont know the answer though..
[17:39] <markt> My mouse cursor has stopped responding, however the keyboard is working fine. There are no xorg errors, and hal is running. The problem appears about 15 min after the system has been powered on. Rebooting fixes the problem temporarily. Is there a known solution for this problem?
[17:39] <Tesssa> i don't as well
[17:40] <Tesssa> my sound card works ok
[17:40] <abi_> hello
[17:40] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: sure thing. thanks for the help
[17:40] <Il__Matteo> OerHeks, that's ridiculous! please admit that 20 minutes for 2 pages of pdf is somehting like working on a 486 4 mb ram! ;)
[17:40] <mostafa_> how can I restore grub 1.97? or acticate it when windows 7 boot loader first is active?
[17:40] <abi_> how do you talk for real
[17:40] <pjotter> I was planning on using 9.10. But I am encountering so many errors and bugs en kerneloopses that I think I will be using 8.04 now instead
[17:41] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: did it work?
[17:41] <OerHeks> Il__Matteo maybe cups settings > localhost:631
[17:41] <abi_> how do you talk for real
[17:41] <Tesssa> 9.4 works great
[17:41] <abi_> how do you talk for real
[17:41] <Dr_Willis> abi_:  be a little more verbose in what you mean.. dont just repeate over and over
[17:41] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: not yet. have to boot into windows to get the info. just tried a manual dhclient3, to no avail. gonna try the static thing now
[17:41] <sacarlson> ﻿abi_: voice? try skype
[17:42] <abi_> ok
[17:42] <llutz> !grub2 | mostafa_
[17:42] <pjotter> whoops.. nevermind... just installed 8.04 and now my wacom doesnt work :S

[17:42] <abi_> i have a mic and i want to talk in it
[17:42] <pjotter> maybe 9.04 then... :p
[17:42] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: well, I'm rebooting into windows to find out
[17:42] <Dr_Willis> abi_:  so you and woever you want to chat to - need to find a program to do so.
[17:42] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: also get the gateway and netmask too =)
[17:43] <abi_> ok
[17:43] <Tesssa> install 9.4 pjotter
[17:43] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: yup
[17:43] <pjotter> where can i download it?
[17:43] <abi_> can i do it here tho
[17:43] <Tesssa> on ubuntu website
[17:43] <sacarlson> ﻿abi_:﻿ no this is text chat only skype has text and voice
[17:43] <pjotter> I have only two options there: 9.10 or 8.04
[17:44] <abi_> i want to do voice
[17:44] <cuchulainq> in order to register a nick in the irc what kind of valid email address is required?
[17:44] <bcool> they took 9.04 off the website?
[17:44] <Slart> abi_: no, this is IRC.. it's text only
[17:44] <trism> pjotter:  http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/
[17:44] <abi_> what???
[17:44] <bastid_raZor> pjotter: http://releases.ubuntu.com/

[17:47] <spuck> Hello! Okay, so I have just set up ubuntu (used the server version since I use openbox and other lightweight apps) anyway I need some help getting some sound out of my soundcard. I've installed alsa (sudo apt-get alsa) and tweaked alsamixer so it should work, but of course it doesn't.

[17:47] <Il__Matteo> OerHeks, the whole system slows down a lot during the print process
[17:47] <abi_> what do you mean
[17:47] <bastid_raZor> abi_: loads of friends in #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:47] <Slart> !who | abi_

[17:47] <abi_> moose ok
[17:48] <tmus>  debootstrap'ing an ubuntu system leaves me with a keyboard that doesn't work with danish chars... Everything else appears to work fine and the keyboard and fonts have been configured. I suspect some important library is missing from the debootstrap based installation, but cannot figure out which one... Any idea?
[17:48] <uiuiui> is anyone using ubuntu as an enterprise gateway/router
[17:48] <abi_> ps am only 11  and i have my own laptop
[17:48] <cuchulainq> ctmjr: thanks for your help, for some reason i cant manage to do it right, may be I am using the wrong command?
[17:49] <abi_> ps am only 11  and i have my own laptop
[17:49] <uiuiui> i'd like to know if there are issues NATing certain protocols
[17:49] <abi_> me
[17:49] <abi_> ???
[17:49] <simple> saçmalýyorsun
[17:50] <abi_> what did u say
[17:50] <sacarlson> ﻿uiuiui: I have been unable to nat ipv6 but I'm sure it can be done
[17:50] <simple> atacaklar az sonra | abi_
[17:50] <abi_> ya simple
[17:50] <ctmjr> cuchulainq: go into the server channel and type this /msg nickserv help register
[17:51] <uiuiui> did skype, pptp passthrough, rpc over http work well for you?
[17:51] <gustavoo1> hello
[17:51] <gustavoo1> what can be done if i've run by mistake a fsck.ext3 on a ext2 fs?
[17:51] <abi_> ya simple
[17:51] <simple> he
[17:52] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: you got a moment?
[17:52] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: yeah but quick I'm abotu to leave
[17:52] <abi_> what are you saying simple???
[17:52] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: so, I tried the static IP trick, and it didn't work
[17:52] <luisgmarine> what's the routers IP?
[17:53] <manuel__> HOLA
[17:53] <jonaz_> 192.168.25.7
[17:53] <jonaz_> picked an IP with a higher final digit
[17:53] <jonaz_> tried several
[17:53] <jonaz_> error message is "Could not contact the wireless access point"
[17:53] <two> can someone tell me why my ubuntu logon sound is distorted in 9.10?
[17:53] <scottj> Is there a program where you define a keystroke for an app, say firefox, and then when you press that keystroke it switches to firefox if it's running otherwise launches it?
[17:54] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: did you put the correct gateway and all that stuff?
[17:54] <ViaNocturn85> wonder if anyone can help, used 2 have Windows and Ubuntu as dual boot, then removed Windows made it ext3 and threw stuff there, but now i wanna replace ubuntu with opensuse, it this possible leaving spare partition in tact?
[17:54]  * _grawity sighs.
[17:54] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: yeah, even added correct DNS servers
[17:54] <Slart> scottj: you could probably do something with the compiz shortcuts and some black magic voodoo bash scripting
[17:54] <abi_> how is everyone
[17:55] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: what was the netmast?
[17:55] <two> AUGH
[17:55] <Slart> scottj: when it comes to firefox I don't think you need the black magic stuff.. I think it has that "show existing window or start a new one" functionality built-in
[17:55] <jonaz_> subnet is 255.255.255.0
[17:55] <Slart> abi_: this isn't a social channel... try typing this...  /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:55] <Slart> abi_: that channel is for all kinds of chat
[17:56] <unop> scottj,  you could use the script at the bottom of this page for gnome or whatever - http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Keyboard_shortcuts#Minimalistic_Application_Usage
[17:56] <abi_> ok
[17:56] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: Try with these settings:  Address 192.168.25.180, netmask 255.255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.25.7, DNS Servers 192.168.25.7
[17:56] <cuchulainq> ctmrj: trying to validate, let me see if I can make it,
[17:56] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: chances are that if this is a mass public internet connection, the static IP's that you are trying to use have already been assigned out to computers
[17:57] <ctmjr> ViaNocturn85: ask in in #suse channel
[17:57] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: keep trying different IP's
[17:57] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: yeah, no dice with that IP either... thanks though
[17:57] <ubuntu__> hi
[17:57] <luisgmarine> jonaz_: bbl have to pick someone up from the airport
[17:58] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: well, I've been trying IPs left and right. I think they have it set up so that DHCP is god: no DHCP, no soup for you
[17:58] <jonaz_> luisgmarine: yeah, go do your thing. super grateful for the help, man
[17:58] <ViaNocturn85> ctmjr: no offense but i been a longtime Ubuntu user, and this should be easy for ubuntu as same rules apply but since im going elsewhere you cant help?
[17:58] <Alan502> Hi, How to set the blue sound input for speakers? in windows it would just be in the audio setting but i can't find how to do it in ubuntu
[17:59] <sacarlson> ﻿jonaz_: what is it you are atempting to connect?  an adsl?  wifi?
[17:59] <abi_> simple no one is there
[17:59] <jonaz_> Everyone: Has anyone ever heard of a wireless network with a DHCP server that gives IPs to Windows machines and won't give them to Unix machines? Any idea what could be going on here?
[18:00] <jonaz_> sacarlson: it's an unencrypted wireless network
[18:00] <sacarlson> ﻿jonaz_: oh ok do you have the correct key?
[18:00] <ViaNocturn85> jonas: as far as i know, the DHCP server shouldnt even bother with knowing if its Unix or Windows
[18:00] <jonaz_> sacarlson: so far, i've tried installing wicd, tried connecting to dhcp from the terminal, all to no avail. no key necessary as it's an open network.
[18:00] <Il__Matteo> OerHeks, 4 pictures, but the spooling file size is 1600 k. anyway, i'm not such a noob, i know pictures are heavier to process, and i know draft reduces printout time. nonetheless, i used to print 220 pages of high quality pdfs with the same pc and printer on windows xp and it didn't take sych a long time. sorry for the delay, but i'm stuck in this problem
[18:01] <sacarlson> ﻿jonaz_: vianocturn85 true but if the encryption is wrong you won't get a responce from the dhcp server
[18:01] <ctmjr> ViaNocturn85: no offense taken but most people here do not know if suse's installer lets you choose what partition to install to it has nothing to do with ubuntu keeping the partition after you remove it (ubuntu)
[18:02] <sacarlson> ﻿jonaz_: is the network active?  any other trafic on it?
[18:02] <llutz> sacarlson:  correct key? on unencrypted network? stop whatever you're smoking please
[18:02] <jonaz_> ViaNocturn85: that seems to be the way DHCP works, so it makes no sense to me why I should be successful in connecting to a network on WinXP and not get an IP on Ubuntu. Signal strength is strong (60%) and yet something is going wrong here. This totally baffles me
[18:03] <ViaNocturn85> ctmjr: then I apologise, I should have thought about that, spose if your used to Ubuntu and nothing else you think Ubuntu is Linux, instead of a branch of Linux
[18:03] <llutz> jonaz_: tried manually with iwconfig?
[18:03] <sacarlson> llutz: jonaz: yes we got that fact so he says it's not encrypted
[18:03] <ViaNocturn85> have you checked the logs?
[18:03] <Anonym> ANyone here?
[18:03] <oliver2> Hi i'm totally new to Ubuntu, got a dell vostro as a gift with 8.04, stupidly installed 9.10 it seemed cool, but when after installing it, non of my dell hardware is being recognized, what can i do?

[18:13] <Pulga> i installed amarok, but now i dont know what to do??
[18:13] <Guest83771> anyway to get the aircrack thru synaptic?
[18:13] <BitEncrypt> everything will be your sys. preferences
[18:13] <leftyfb> Guest83771: sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng
[18:13] <jonaz_> llutz: yeah, really wierd
[18:14] <llutz> jonaz_: you know what channel that AP really uses?
[18:14] <Pulga> IPod??

[18:16] <llutz> jonaz_: doesn't look like your wifi is working...
[18:16] <Guest83771> Now I'm getting the error:-
[18:16] <Guest83771> E: Couldn't find package aircrack-ng
[18:16] <llutz> jonaz_: what wifi-chipset? lspci
[18:17] <yaramazgeyik> ...
[18:17] <jonaz_> llutz: sudo iwconfig wlan0 ch 11 also gives an error "Set failed on device wlan0: Operation not supported"
[18:17] <Guest83771> can someone help?
[18:17] <leftyfb> Guest83771: close synaptic and add the universe repository. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine#Adding the Universe and Multiverse Repositories
[18:17] <jonaz_> llutz: Realtex RTL8187SE
[18:17] <leftyfb> Guest83771: then sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng
[18:17] <Guest83771> I'll try it right now
[18:18] <jonaz_> llutz: btw, wifi works fine through wicd
[18:18] <BitEncrypt> oliver2: did that do it
[18:18] <pjotter> Problem in 9.10 AMD64 (fresh install): When I boot my computer, sometimes the network is not automatically activated. I have a simple ADSL modem. When I try tot manually start the network, it sometimes works. But mostly it just fails. Ubuntu keeps looking for a network but can't find it. The same problem occurs when I boot up and the network is activated and I manually stop teh network and try to activate it again. Mostly it will not recognize the network
[18:18] <leftyfb> although since you can't figure out how to do these basic things or read documentation, i'm not sure how well you're going to be able to use aircrack to stress test your own personal wireless networks.
[18:18] <llutz> jonaz_: but you already stopped wicd?
[18:19] <isolat3dsh33p> guys, is it possible for me to share file with window users on a windows network?
[18:19] <sacarlson> ﻿Guest83771: I see aircrack-ng on my ubuntu 8.04 in synaptic
[18:19] <jonaz_> yeah, I stopped wicd to do the stuff we were doing. when I reopen it, works fine for connecting to wired networks and detecting wireless networks
[18:19] <llutz> jonaz_: odd, but btw: your wired lan works now?
[18:19] <jonaz_> I am also able to connect to other wireless networks, in other places, just not this one here
[18:20] <BitEncrypt> anyone know how to create a torrent using transmission client?
[18:20] <kenpark> isolat3dsh33p: Yes, you use samba for that.
[18:20] <jonaz_> llutz: well, I followed the instructions on the forums for the wired network that you gave me (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=538448) and those worked just fine.
[18:21] <llutz> jonaz_: fine so far, but i wonder why you cannot connect that open-wlan....
[18:21] <isolat3dsh33p> kenpark: how?
[18:22] <jonaz_> llutz: it completely and absolutely baffles me. could there be some strange proprietary windows something or another (upnp or something) that allows windows to interface with this router and that ubuntu just doesn't have?
[18:22] <invisime> can anyone recommend a good ssh server software as well as a good vnc server software? I'm running ubuntu server 9.10 on a low-resources machine.
[18:22] <meowsus> Can anyone with experience setting up multiple monitors on a nVidia GeForce 8400 GS give me a hand?
[18:22] <llutz> jonaz_: i never heard of it/seen such
[18:23] <invisime> meowsus: what distro are you running?
[18:23] <jonaz_> llutz: well, i guess that's what dual-boot is good for... I'm just trying to fully migrate to Ubuntu and this kind of stuff scares me a bit
[18:23] <meowsus> Ubuntu 9.1
[18:23] <kenpark> isolat3dsh33p: Its a little bit of a longer process - mind if I refer you to the wiki?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba or http://www.watchingthenet.com/enable-file-sharing-in-ubuntu-using-samba.html and maybe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89hjWOb8qmY&annotation_id=annotation_888326&feature=iv
[18:23] <sacarlson> ﻿llutz: jonaz_: only problem I have seen is with broadcom wifi devices but only when used with encrypted wifi nets
[18:23] <Doonz> so does anyone have experience writing start up scripts for ubuntu
[18:23] <llutz> jonaz_: dual boot is pointless, you always will have booted the wrong system for the stuff you want to do _now_
[18:23] <isolat3dsh33p> kenpark: that's good enough. Thanks ;)
[18:23] <meowsus> invisime, sorry, Ubuntu 9.1
[18:24] <invisime> !anyone | Doonz
[18:24] <rocky> hiiiiii
[18:24] <rocky> so nice
[18:24] <Guest83771> I tried it
[18:24] <Doonz> NB: let me elaborate. im looking at getting a script built that would start up deluge/webui, irssi for one user in a screen session
[18:24] <invisime> meowsus: have you found the NVIDIA X Server Settings application?
[18:25] <meowsus> invisime, yes i have. I have it set up and i'm looking at it right now.
[18:25] <invisime> meowsus: what seems to be going wrong?
[18:25] <meowsus> invisime, i have 3 monitors and i'm not sure what i should do to handle them all. It seems i can bind 2 of them, but have to open another instance of X to run in the third monitor.
[18:26] <Poison-Ivy-Troya> i need help but in spanish please .....
[18:26] <Guest83771> I can't download from the archives
[18:26] <meowsus> invisime, i just want to know if i'm missing something. Ideally i'd like to have the 3 monitors running in the same instance of X
[18:26] <invisime> meowsus: ah. I don't have any experience with three. two's the most I've done.
[18:26] <kenpark> !english | Poison-Ivy-Troya
[18:26] <Pici> !es | Poison-Ivy-Troya
[18:26] <Poison-Ivy-Troya> thanks
[18:26] <meowsus> invisime, I have the dual cards, they can be SLI'd but its not set up like that currently.
[18:27] <jonaz_> llutz: the stuff I want to do now (and always) is connect to a wireless network and live happily on the cloud. if I can't do that, the rest of it is not that useful to me... anyway, I suppose I should just give up on trying to make sense of this
[18:27] <Guest83771> The recurring error was Sub-process /bin/bzip2 returned an error code (2)
[18:27] <jonaz_> Poison-Ivy-Troya: type /join #ubuntu-es
[18:27] <invisime> meowsus: sounds like you're better qualified to handle this than I am then. sorry. :-/
[18:27] <Poison-Ivy-Troya> ok
[18:27] <Bookman> I cannot seem to get videos to play inside Firefox.  Like the following:  http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1927028
[18:27] <llutz> jonaz_: it's not that much what you want, should be possible....
[18:27] <meowsus> invisime, OH NOES!
[18:27] <Poison-Ivy-Troya> thanks very much
[18:27] <meowsus> haha
[18:28] <meowsus> invisime, tell me this. Did you use Xinerama or Twin View? Or did you set up dual instances of X server?
[18:28] <sacarlson> ﻿ jonaz_: llutz: last resort you can try use windows drivers with ndiswrapper
[18:28] <klown> meowsus, like invisime said, i only have tried two, but I used twinview.  dont know if that helps.
[18:29] <invisime> meowsus: my only experience with it is setting up a twinview to display stuff on my tv from my laptop.
[18:29] <mere-teresa>  /join lagrottedubarbu
[18:29] <mere-teresa>  /join #lagrottedubarbu
[18:29] <meowsus> klown, okay. Seems thats the most solid, i found this as well: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174&page=63
[18:29] <meowsus> invisime, I gotcha
[18:29] <jonaz_> sacarlson: do you think this is an issue with the driver? how would i go about using the windows driver?
[18:30] <isolat3dsh33p> nautilust-script question: How do I get the file name that i currently selected in a directory on nautilus
[18:30] <sacarlson> ﻿jonaz_: you can google ﻿the ndiswrapper I havn't had much luck with it
[18:30] <jonaz_> sacarlson: okay, will give it a shot
[18:31] <invisime> can anyone recommend a good ssh server software as well as a good vnc server software? I'm running ubuntu server 9.10 on a low-resources machine.
[18:31] <deww> invisime: is openssh(d) too resource intensive?
[18:31] <kenpark> invisime: Whats wrong with OpenSsh?
[18:31] <sal_> jonaz_, which version are you running?  new installation? what is your wifi chipset?
[18:32] <invisime> I guess that's two votes for openssh.
[18:32] <jonaz_> sal_: running latest stable distro, checking chipset now...
[18:32] <meowsus> Has anyone had experience with Ubuntu 9.1 and setting up 3 monitors?
[18:32] <BitEncrypt> meowsus: do you about torrents
[18:32] <jonaz_> Wifi chipset is RTL8187SE
[18:33] <meowsus> BitEncrypt, yes?
[18:33] <invisime> see, that's why I asked here instead of the google or the wikipedia. either of those would've given me too many options. thanks, deww and kenpark.
[18:33] <BitEncrypt> where would i find my torrents that im seeding
[18:34] <BitEncrypt> would they be on any website
[18:35] <meowsus> BitEncrypt, do you mean your torrent file? or the folder you are sharing?
[18:35] <BitEncrypt> sharing
[18:36] <meowsus> BitEncrypt, you already used the Bit Torrent client to create your torrent file and have uploaded it to the tracker?
[18:37] <Guest83771> 1. Make/make install aren't working for aircrack-ng and several other programs.    2) The updates have "Failed" several so I can't install aircrack thru synaptic either.
[18:37] <Guest83771> any suggestions?
[18:37] <BitEncrypt> i think: yes i have created the torrent using transmission,
[18:37] <Guest83771> Are the servers just down
[18:38] <Pici> Guest83771: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[18:38] <Guest83771> 9.10
[18:38] <Pici> Guest83771: Do you have an internet connection?
[18:38] <Guest83771> yes
[18:38] <Pici> Guest83771: Does apt-get update return an error?
[18:38] <ljamisonii> hello all
[18:38] <Guest83771> yes several
[18:39] <Guest83771> Failed to....
[18:39] <sacarlson> ﻿Guest83771: did you try anther repository server?
[18:39] <BitEncrypt> i dont know if i uploaded to the tracker
[18:39] <Pici> Guest83771: Can you pastebin the error?
[18:39] <Pici> !pastebin
[18:39] <Guest83771> I let Synaptic recommend the best
[18:39] <Guest83771> didn't work
[18:39] <Guest83771> how do i pastebin?
[18:40] <meowsus> BitEncrypt, the "tracker" is what they call a bit torrent server
[18:40] <Pici> Guest83771: Copy the text and paste it to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com and then give us the link
[18:40] <BitEncrypt> im using openbittorrent for the tracker
[18:40] <ljamisonii> I have a question..I installed Crossover but I can't find it in my application list..any idea what to do?
[18:40] <sacarlson> ﻿Guest83771: try randomly select another
[18:40] <meowsus> BitEncrypt, Okay, so typically you would log into your tracker using your openbittorrent account info, and you should be able to click an "upload torrent" link or something
[18:41] <BitEncrypt> ahhh ok
[18:41] <meowsus> BitEncrypt, it will ask you to locate the .torrent file on your computer, and so you do, uploading it to the server.
[18:41] <Joelito> hello, how is the usage of apt-get --download-only?
[18:41] <Joelito> I'm trying to only download packages
[18:41] <BitEncrypt> sweet THX
[18:41] <meowsus> BitEncrypt, as soon as it's uploaded, the page will give you a link to your newly uploaded torrent file, you click that link, open it in Transmission and then it will ask you where you want to "Save" the files to
[18:41] <Guest83771> Okay
[18:42] <Guest83771> I pasted it
[18:42] <sacarlson> ﻿Guest83771: I have installed aircrack-ng before I think I compiled it to get the new one
[18:42] <meowsus> BitEncrypt, At that point, you just tell Transmission to "Save" the torrent's contents to the folder you're trying to upload. Transmission will check the files and begin seeding.
[18:42] <Mike_lifeguard> What command line tool can I use to get the HTTP status code from a server (and nothing else)?
[18:42] <kenpark> Mike_lifeguard: wget?
[18:42] <poningru> Mike_lifeguard, telnet
[18:43] <Guest83771> That was the first problem; my make/make install were giving errors too
[18:43] <BitEncrypt> know of any good trackers
[18:43] <poningru> telnet ubuntu.com 80
[18:43] <sski> PulseAudio 9.10 audigy 2 success. Anyone?
[18:43] <Mike_lifeguard> kenpark: but that also gets the page content. Is there an option I didn't see to get just the status code?
[18:43] <stew> Mike_lifeguard: HEAD from libwww-perl
[18:43] <BitEncrypt> does isohunt have one
[18:43] <Mike_lifeguard> poningru: I'll give that a try, thanks

[18:48] <olskolirc> someone say my name please
[18:48] <leftyfb> Guest83771: you need to enable the universe repositories to your sources, update and install aircrack-ng. If you're having problems with the first step, please post a pastebin with the entire error. Again, I have no idea how you're going to use aircrack for penetration testing of your own personal wireless environment and you can't figure out something as simple as adding repositories and installing software.

[18:50] <kenpark> !hi | csmith1994
[18:50] <JoeSomebody> hello, i was a ubuntu convert, but now, don't know, for days i have asked for help and the problems remain, NOW I am back to xp, and perhaps i shall try again, someday.
[18:50] <JoeSomebody> If you guys can't fix networking and sharing issues, (better if no issues) then i (and my friends in town here) cant run ubuntu NOT HARDWARE xp likes the box just fine
[18:50] <csmith1994> one when I try and join this chat from the browser it says im using tor or a proxy im not im just using firefox
[18:50] <klown> im having an issue with any applets (other than videos) on webpages.  The applet doesnt work, and all it shows is a ugly green background.  Java, and icetea are both installed, anyone have any ideas?
[18:50] <JoeSomebody> it was worth a try i guess, and i did learn a few things :)
[18:51] <usr13> !nfs | JoeSomebody
[18:51] <usr13> !samba | JoeSomebody
[18:51] <JoeSomebody> better work on networking and samba in next release, we need our ntfs drive, for a while ....
[18:51] <JoeSomebody> i even tried samba channel
[18:52] <klown> JoeSomebody, what was your issue, only time ive had a problem with samba is when i was trying to set up a wd nas
[18:52] <usr13> JoeSomebody: If  you have specific questions please ask them we will do the best we can to help you.
[18:52] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody:  I use samba with windows xp with no problems
[18:52] <csmith1994> and second is an ubuntu problem I have installed the b43 driver on my computer and set it up to load that module on startup. I have a bcm4312 wireless card and it recognises that the hardware exists it just doesnt  use it to connect to the internet
[18:52] <leftyfb> samba problems are ALWAYS a configuration problem
[18:52] <ubuntuuser> hi why chrome browser was no it synaptic or ubuntu software center ?
[18:52] <ubuntuuser> how do I install it ?
[18:52] <JoeSomebody> thanks for the help i did get, not all problems are fixable i guess, or mayeb someone is out to get me
[18:52] <enherit> i have 60 gig of data, I want to back them up into multiples 4.3 dvds at once. How can I do that?
[18:52] <leftyfb> ubuntuuser: http://www.google.com/chrome/
[18:53] <froglet> I finally got openSUSE and Ubuntu installed on the same machine, apparently the secret to get a proper GRUB is to install *buntu last
[18:53] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody:  yes most the problems I've had with samba was security that I disabled
[18:53] <klown> JoeSomebody, what was your exact problem, maybe we can give you some ideas for your next ubuntu test.
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. ive never had any issues mounting NTFS filesystems JoeSomebody  - good luck I guess..
[18:53] <JoeSomebody> i even tried samba channel, for an hour they tried, said my config is ok
[18:53] <ubuntuuser> leftyfb:thanks :-D
[18:53] <JoeSomebody> but it cant be ok huh
[18:53] <JoeSomebody> oh well :)
[18:53]  * Dr_Willis hasent heard the whole of the problem.. most likely..
[18:53] <froglet> now my question is about Ubuntu remix: why is it do slow?
[18:53] <froglet> so slow
[18:54] <JoeSomebody> i was asking about my shares disappearing days ago, then i finally went to samba channel
[18:54] <Bookman> In Firefox, I checked in Tools>Add-Ons>Plugins and I have Shockwave Flash installed, version 10.0 r42 but I still cannot play videos.
[18:54] <Jovial-Halgar> hello, my laptop was damaged in a fire, the hdd's seem to be intact how can I go about recovering the files?
[18:54] <usr13> JoeSomebody: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/
[18:54] <klown> JoeSomebody, like, files, or the whole directory?
[18:54] <JoeSomebody> i repeat - i even tried samba channel, for an hour they tried, said my config is ok

[18:55] <Guest83771> Can someone please take a look at the error i just posted on pastebin?
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> JoeSomebody:  i got an actual windows box here.. that i cant get it to show any shares to the lan..  but it does show the UPNP media share. :) so  Im not sure its always linux's fault when theres samba issues.
[18:55] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody:  what do want samba to do share files over the Internet?
[18:55] <csmith1994> my wireless card is not being recognised on ubuntu even with the drivers

[18:56] <Jovial-Halgar> hello, how do i go about recovering my files can i just plug it into another laptop and see if it works?
[18:56] <leftyfb> Guest83771: you really shouldn't bother with aircrack if you can't figure out these basic concepts
[18:56] <JoeSomebody> i have them (andeverything) working fine, i dont know why shares simply stop wwrking at times
[18:56] <sacarlson> ﻿ JoeSomebody: so you can share Ubuntu with windows but can't share windows with Ubuntu?
[18:56] <Guest83771> I used aircrack b4
[18:56] <Go-er> anyone use eFax successfully? Mine does not
[18:56] <leftyfb> JoeSomebody: use the smb.conf I pasted for you

[18:57] <sal_> csmith1994, the bcm4312 is only partially supported, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[18:57] <usr13> JoeSomebody: There are specific questions that can be answered on irc channels and lots of problems can be solved by simply answering questions, but reading and studying and surching for answers in the documentation is best.
[18:57] <froglet> maybe has extraneous spaces?
[18:57] <sski> samba can be a  "secure" internet service put you need to be an expert
[18:57] <csmith1994> i installed b43
[18:57] <csmith1994> should i have installed bcm43xx
[18:57] <tnasani> hi all
[18:58] <froglet> sski: can it be reasonably secure without SSH?
[18:58] <Guest83771> and how do I fix this?
[18:58] <kenpark> Jovial-Halgar: Try it :-)
[18:58] <Go-er> How do I change modem settings for 'hardware' to 'software'?
[18:58] <csmith1994> sal: i installed b43 should i install bcm43xx
[18:58] <sacarlson> ﻿leftyfb:  I wouldn't tell people not to try something If they they have to power to do so let them.  Never give up hope.
[18:58] <usr13> Go-er: Please re-phrase your question.
[18:59] <sski> If you are low profile and can handle a hack "backup" I think so. I am not an expert
[18:59] <kenpark> Guest83771: What are you trying to do?
[18:59] <nasser> hi
[18:59] <sal_> csmith1994, your chip is only partially suppoerted, which means it does not work well yet.  what do you have installed for drivers?

[19:02] <grawity> Go-er: It might be the same. But still, it has been modified by Mint developers - and only they know all the modifications.
[19:02] <csmith1994> sal_: Can I pm you?
[19:02] <kenpark> jun: You installed os-prober?
[19:02] <nasser> I love WINDOWS AND MAC
[19:02] <froglet> is anyone else finding the netbook remix interface to be slow?
[19:02] <JoeSomebody> i thought ubuntu was better in most ways, except for file browsing, nautilus needs more features
[19:02] <sal_> csmith1994, check for bcmwl-kernel-source in synaptic
[19:02] <jun> kenpark, it was installed, i tried it, then update-grub, still the same problem
[19:03] <fidin> is there an benefit to installing ubuntu remix on a netbook that has a 10.1" screen and 160gb harddrive and access to an external cd drive--rather than just the normal ubuntu?
[19:03] <nasser> not update the GRUB!!!!!
[19:03] <froglet> perhaps the ubuntu netbook remix is not compatible with all netbooks
[19:03] <nasser> THE UPDATING TAKES SOME PROBLEMS
[19:03] <invisime> !troll | nasser
[19:03] <Go-er> ok, same problem exists in my UBUNTU LIVE DISC> dOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PLS?
[19:03] <csmith1994> sal_: im not currently in my ubuntu environment. Im in windows 7 because I have no other alternate connection
[19:03] <jun> nasser, i kinda agree with you here... mine is a new install though
[19:03] <Taravel> when I run kubuntu in live session I can start the wireless card intalling proprietary drivers. I installed kubuntu with wubi and now I can't see that driver in the Hardware Drivers ( I can't see also nvidia drivers )
[19:03] <Go-er> Sorry cpas lock key hit by mistake
[19:04] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody: nautilus already had the kitchen sink in it what more you want?
[19:04] <fidin> froglet i said a reason 'to' use remix, not another reason not to :p
[19:04] <nasser> ubuntu is compatible with all sort of netbooks
[19:04] <Gieke> hey
[19:04] <csmith1994> sal_: if I had an alternate connection I'd just go to terminal and run sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[19:04] <Gieke> i have dualboot windows vista - ubuntu

[19:04] <Gieke> i also have another pc, a windows xp, that is connected to a printer
[19:04] <JoeSomebody> sacarlson everything it has now plus everything windows explorer has
[19:04] <csmith1994> and automatically install the firmware

[19:05] <froglet> but I find it very slow compared to not having it
[19:05] <sal_> csmith1994, you said fwcutter is already installed .. ??
[19:05] <nasser> omg! windows vista is the worst os I've ever tried
[19:05] <usr13> JoeSomebody: I thought your issue was with file sharing?
[19:05] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody: got it
[19:05] <nasser> omg
[19:05] <mostafa_> how can I open Pmagic.iso with usb-creator and then write it into the USB Disk?
[19:05] <froglet> I have an HP 2133 and maybe it does not like it
[19:05] <Gieke> when i try printing from ubuntu with the printer that's connected to my XP, i get all kinds of weird characters
[19:05] <fidin> froglet what about remix is for smaller screens? does it prevent windows from going outside the window? i heard it doesnt
[19:05] <nasser> froglet hp works
[19:05] <fidin> i have an eeepc btw
[19:05] <csmith1994> sal_: it is but if I automatically install it it downloads the driver according to the page you linked me to earlier
[19:05] <kenpark> jun: So uhm what does update-grub say?
[19:05] <nasser> i've a sony vaio
[19:06] <usr13> JoeSomebody: MS Windows is a wonderful and very powerful operating system and  you seem to be much happier with it, (Linux is not for everyone).
[19:06] <JoeSomebody> usr13 it is, i was just saying i enjoyed ubuntu , way more than windows (except for explorer) , but i need sharing to be ROCK SOLID DEPENDABLE
[19:06] <mostafa_> how can I open Pmagic.iso with usb-creator and then write it into the USB Disk?
[19:06] <froglet> fidin: that is difficult for me to answer since I have limited experience with it, I think I will remove it and keep original Ubuntu setup
[19:06] <komputes> mostafa_: usb-crator is not made for Pmagic.iso (i'm guessing partition magic)
[19:06] <M30W> klown, looking now...
[19:06] <trism> Guest83771: your installs aren't working because you're mixing really old repositories (dapper) with the newest repositories (karmic)
[19:06] <JoeSomebody> i wil try again one day, i didnt erase it
[19:06] <komputes> mostafa_: just use a LiveCD  - it has gparted on it already
[19:06] <Gieke> strange characters example: '$>@T[clover]>@[strange line][strange line]>>@
[19:06] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody:  samba is already in nautilus
[19:07] <sludge> nasser, you just figuring that out now?
[19:07] <jun> kenpark: generating grub.cfg, then 3 lines with linux/initrd/windows 7, then "done"
[19:07] <M30W> klown, seems more geared towards laptops
[19:07] <Gieke> where the things between brackets is an explanation of how it looks like
[19:07] <MorphyNOR> I just love windows-people coming in here to mouth off at how bad "linux" is...
[19:07] <trism> Guest83771: you'll have much better luck if you backup your data and cleanly install karmic
[19:07] <komputes> mostafa_: where did you get this Pmagic.iso?
[19:07] <sal_> csmith1994, is your wifi STA?
[19:07] <Gieke> anyone knows?
[19:07] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody:  just right click on the directory you want to share
[19:07] <mostafa_> komputes: no it is Pmagic
[19:07] <komputes> mostafa_: link
[19:08] <JoeSomebody> sacarlson everything works fine and is configured correectly (i had help) the shared JUST STOP for unknown reasons
[19:08] <ryann> Gieke: try using (or not using) a postscript driver

[19:08] <komputes> nasser: thank you for the feedback.
[19:08] <csmith1994> you were just yelling at come guy for doing it
[19:08] <Lungan> Having som trouble installing flash: http://paste.ubuntu.com/349198/
[19:08] <sal_> csmith1994, with that chip, i think you need to use the bcmwl-kernel-source, not fwcutter
[19:09] <mostafa_> komputes: http://partedmagic.com/change-log/139-parted-magic-50-not-released-yet.html
[19:09] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody: mabe the sever stoped? restart it #/etc/init.d/samba restart
[19:09] <csmith1994> sal_, could you tell me how to do that
[19:09] <fidin> sludge my question is, is unr worth installing if you have a 10.1" screen and 160gb harddrive on your netbook which can more than accomidate the normal ubuntu?
[19:09] <MorphyNOR> sal_: did they fix BCM4312 yet?
[19:09] <fidin> and are there any downsides to netbook remix
[19:09] <sal_> ntmk
[19:09] <csmith1994> fidin, it depends on how much ram you have thats why netbook remix was made up
[19:09] <JoeSomebody> i know it sotpped i just dont know why, and the #samba guys dont know either
[19:09] <sal_> still only patial i think
[19:09] <sludge> JoeSomebody, so it must be the OS's fault?  Not some setup error on your part or your network?
[19:09] <sal_> *partial
[19:09] <usr13> nasser: join a channel that wishes to discuss which operating system is the best.  This channel is supposed to be about Ubuntu.
[19:10] <komputes> mostafa_: it's a linux cd, should just work, whats the issue? you have never used usb-creator?
[19:10] <MorphyNOR> sal_: last I checked there were some issues with that chip
[19:10]  * Dr_Willis points out that with Upstart   one should use 'sudo service samba restart' or Similer command.
[19:10] <Gieke> ryann, how i do that?
[19:10] <csmith1994> netbook remix was formulated for computers with lower specs
[19:10] <ryann> Lungan: try sudo apt-get install -f --reinstall flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree
[19:10] <sal_> MorphyNOR, i think you're right.  only partially supported
[19:10] <MorphyNOR> sal_: is ndiswrapper still around?
[19:10] <klown> M30W, I also seen this, dont know if the extended xorg file will give you any ideas http://froebe.net/blog/2009/05/11/getting-three-monitors-to-work-with-kubuntu-ubuntu-with-kde-on-a-dell-optiplex-gx520-nvidia-geforce4-mx-4000-low-profile-video-card-and-the-onboard-intel-82945ggz-video-card/
[19:10] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody: after a reboot?  or after long run?
[19:10] <JoeSomebody> sludge if i thought it was the os fault, why woudl i say i am going to try again? :)
[19:10] <sludge> fidin, it depends on the user in my opinion
[19:10] <MorphyNOR> csmith1994: try the alternative driver, ndiswrapper
[19:11] <Lungan> ryann, that gives me the same error
[19:11] <JoeSomebody> are you guys reading eveerything i am saying or what?
[19:11] <JoeSomebody> LOL
[19:11] <Gieke> ryann , can i pm u?
[19:11] <mostafa_> komputes: yeah I have used it I know what it can do
[19:11] <usr13> !ndiswrapper | MorphyNOR
[19:11] <csmith1994> MorphyNOR: I need the windows driver to do that
[19:11] <fidin> csmith1994 it has 1gb of ram
[19:11] <M30W> klown, this might lead to more!
[19:11] <sal_> MorphyNOR, yup, that could work too.  this is not my chip, so i cant say for sure
[19:11] <MorphyNOR> csmith1994: you can get that online
[19:11] <mostafa_> komputes: but believe me when I add the .ISO file
[19:11] <ryann> Gieke: i don't print from any of my linux boxes now that i think about it
[19:11] <M30W> klown, thanks!
[19:11] <csmith1994> fidin thats a gateway netbook right
[19:11] <ryann> but i can test in a vm..
[19:11] <klown> M30W, he is using a nvidia card, and the onboard card, but it may help some.
[19:11] <ryann> hold on a second
[19:11] <MorphyNOR> usr13?
[19:11] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody: no not everything only things I can understand
[19:11] <mostafa_> komputes: it doesn't add that
[19:11] <sludge> I thought u were saying you were through with ubuntu....my bad
[19:11] <Guest83771> Can someone tell me how to get the original sources list for ubuntu 9.10
[19:12] <Pici> !who
[19:12] <Guest83771> where can i d/l it from?
[19:12] <froglet> is there still a website where you enter your region and it gives you a sources.list just for your area?
[19:12] <JoeSomebody> anyway y'all have a good one and i shall try maybe next week, again the samba guys checked my config, (took an hour) said its ok
[19:12] <fidin> csmith1994 gateway? it's an asus. and it's upgradable to 2gb. or do you mean gateway like in between?
[19:12] <froglet> for example if I live in Idaho
[19:12] <erUSUL> froglet: Use System>Admin..>softwere Sources
[19:12] <froglet> it will give me some source.list close to me
[19:12] <komputes> mostafa_: great, so point it to the iso, point it to the USB disk, format, select "Discard on shutdown" and make the Starup Disk. Done.
[19:12] <csmith1994> fidin I'd just run ubuntu this has the same specs as a full fledged laptop
[19:12] <usr13> MorphyNOR: Didn't you ask:  "is ndiswrapper still around?"
[19:12] <erUSUL> froglet: in the first tab Download from: choose best server
[19:12] <froglet> erUSUL: and if I messed up my original sources.list?
[19:12] <klown> JoeSomebody, it may have been ok for a generic share, but there may be variables you arnt telling someone also :P
[19:13] <MorphyNOR> usr13: yes, but I don't need help finding it ;)
[19:13] <trism> Guest83771: you're just going to end up with a broken system if you just point your sources.list at karmic from a dapper install
[19:13] <sal_> csmith1994, the bcmwl-kernel-source should be on the cd, if you enable cd as a source, you could load it that way
[19:13] <csmith1994> fidin I meant gateway like the company I have a gateway netbook with those specs except for a 220gb hdd
[19:13] <froglet> trism he told me he installed karmic
[19:13] <usr13> MorphyNOR: Please forgive me for supplying unwanted information.
[19:13] <csmith1994> sal_ i didnt use a cd I used the wubi installer
[19:13] <froglet> he said 9.10 actually
[19:13] <erUSUL> froglet: remove it. System>Admin..>softwere Sources should be able to regenrate it
[19:13] <sal_> csmith1994, otherwise find a wire to plug into
[19:13] <MorphyNOR> usr13: no problem :)
[19:13] <froglet> erUSL thanks
[19:13] <trism> froglet: his source.list list makes it look like a dapper install (plus he has hardy and karmic repos pasted on at the end)
[19:13] <Lungan> Having som trouble installing flash: http://paste.ubuntu.com/349198/
[19:14] <froglet> trism: k
[19:14] <sal_> csmith1994, well, your just asking for double trouble then .. ;-|
[19:14] <csmith1994> sal_ i downloaded the windows installer from the website
[19:14] <Guest83771> <----Very green noob
[19:14] <sludge> fidin, I installed UNR on a netbook for the son of a co-worker.  Dual booted it with window xp that came with netbook.  After a week I called and asked him how it was going, he said I dont use the windows side the ubuntu is easier....so for him UNR is great.  My wife has full ubuntu and prefers that...on her dell mini.  Depends on user....the newer they are to linux and netbooks...I say go unr
[19:14] <froglet> we are all green noobs sometime, I am still green
[19:14] <MorphyNOR> Lungan: which command did you run?
[19:14] <froglet> ribbit
[19:14] <Guest83771> I'll try it out
[19:14] <Guest83771> I hope i don't see you guys soon
[19:15] <Guest83771> lol
[19:15] <froglet> :)
[19:15] <Lungan> MorphyNOR, Ive tried some different commands and get the same error
[19:15] <csmith1994> so sal_ how would I go about fixing this without the cdc
[19:15] <klown> im having an issue with any applets (other than videos) on webpages.  The applet doesnt work, and all it shows is a ugly green background.  Java, and icetea are both installed, anyone have any ideas?
[19:16] <JoeSomebody> klown makes sense, i am new to ubuntu and linux , (2 or 3 months) so i wouldn't know , i do good just to give the helpers the correct information, and samba helpers are discouraged for me, but if you (or anyone) want to check my config or anything i can always reboot again
[19:17] <klown> JoeSomebody, i dont know your entire story, if you want to give me an explanation of what is going on, ill try my best to help out
[19:17] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody: well from what you say it works fine but crashes so that can't be a config thing
[19:17] <Gieke> could anyone please help me?
[19:17] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody:  I run ubuntu 8.04 and have samba running for 3 months without a reboot with no problems
[19:17] <MorphyNOR> Lungan: tried doing a dpkg purge?
[19:17] <Gieke> my ubuntu manages to send printer things to my windows XP
[19:17] <natewiebe13> very basic question.. does | seperate commands to run one before another ? (ex.: sudo apt-get update | sudo apt-get upgrade . Where it would update, then once that is completed, it would do an upgrade?)
[19:18] <JoeSomebody> yes works fine , maybe for days or weeks, then i am on an win box and can't access the sahares anymore
[19:18] <Lungan> MorphyNOR, nope, how do I do that?
[19:18] <Zwemshortventje> i'm installing the flash plugin for firefox, but it gets stuck at 89% at 'applying changes', what can i do? i'm using the ubuntu software center to install it
[19:18] <JoeSomebody> i never get any errors on the linux box
[19:18] <Gieke> but my printer messes everything up by printing all kinds of characters
[19:18] <Slart> natewiebe13: nope.. that's a pipe.. it sends the output from one command to another
[19:18] <MorphyNOR> Lungan: sudo dpkg --purge remove "flash"
[19:18] <Gieke> zwemshort, heb je de wubi installer gebruikt?
[19:18] <MorphyNOR> Lungan: put in whatever you tried to install in where it says "flash"
[19:18] <Gieke> ik had dat probleem ook
[19:18] <natewiebe13> Slart: okay.. is there a way to run one command, and when one is done it will run another
[19:18] <Zwemshortventje> vm player
[19:18] <Slart> natewiebe13: you can use stuff like ; to separate commands.. or && to only run the next command if the first is succesful
[19:18] <fidin> sludge, well i'm not new to linux or ubuntu at all. i've been running normal ubuntu's on my  normal laptop for years. i guess i shouldnt use remix then
[19:18] <JoeSomebody> samba guys looked at logs and saw possibly flaky hardware, but under xp it is always ok
[19:18] <ShadeGris> Hola!! Como estan todos!?
[19:19] <Zwemshortventje> ik kan ubuntu niet installeren als native os, heb ik al vaak geprobeerd
 so linux to linux sharing works 100% of the time?
[19:19] <BlouBlou> !es | ShadeGris
[19:19] <Zwemshortventje> dus gebruik ik gewoon vm player
[19:19] <JoeSomebody> hardware cant be god in xp always and bad in linux can it?
[19:19] <madPJKfan> hi everyone...
[19:19] <natewiebe13> Slart: thanks
[19:19] <Lungan> MorphyNOR, Still get the same error  Errors were encountered while processing: flashplugin-installer
[19:19] <M30W> klown, i think it might, thanks man!
[19:19] <Slart> natewiebe13: yes.. use ;   there's more info about this in "man bash"
[19:19] <klown> JoeSomebody, does the drive you are connecting to, have updated firmware..i had an issue with my wd NAS just, dropping connection after a few weeks
[19:19] <MorphyNOR> Lungan: okay, tried installing it via synaptics?
[19:19] <Dr_Willis> ive gotten where i just use ssh and winscp to get stuff to/from windows/linux a lot of the time. Just easier to get going.
[19:19] <madPJKfan> have somehow killed my NTFS hosted ubuntu - kernal panics - can't find the root filesystem
[19:19] <JoeSomebody> asus p5gd1-vm p4 3ghz 1gb ram intel pro100 intregrated lan
[19:19] <madPJKfan> anyone know how to fix?
[19:19] <klown> M30W, hope it helps :)
[19:20] <Dr_Willis> Ive had amazing issues with "nas" hard drives in the past. I dont even bother with them any more
[19:20] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody: I hate to ask but what version of Ubuntu are you running, you must have already told use.
[19:20] <Slart> madPJKfan: ntfs hosted ubuntu?
[19:20] <madPJKfan> via wubi
[19:20] <madPJKfan> slart: dual boot wubi thing
[19:20] <madPJKfan> where ubuntu lives in a windows folder
[19:20] <Slart> madPJKfan: oh.. I've never messed with that.. sorry.. don't even know where to start troubleshooting that
[19:20] <krymel> hi
[19:20] <madPJKfan> slart: cheers
[19:20] <JoeSomebody> klown drive is replacement new to system, got me thinking now
[19:21] <JoeSomebody> klown checking it out ...
[19:21] <Lungan> MorphyNOR, I get : E: flashplugin-installer: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 2
[19:21] <krymel> my question is regarding the infrastructure to host packages of the distro. When I want to host all packages of ubuntu lucid on a local http server to have a local shadow mirror copy - is there a howto or documentation how to do this?
[19:21] <MorphyNOR> Lungan: where?
[19:21] <Lungan> MorphyNOR, Synaptic
[19:21] <klown> JoeSomebody, like i said, i dont know your story, and mine was with a standalone nas..might not be your problem, but there is plenty of things that could cause the connection to drop.
[19:21] <MorphyNOR> Lungan: okay, hang on
[19:22] <JoeSomebody> seagate ST3500418AS firmware CC37
[19:22] <JoeSomebody> shoudl be ok on a replacement, but who knows

[19:23] <Digmaster> Hello, is this channel a support channel for all things Ubuntu? I'm having issues with Firefox
[19:23] <ikonia> Digmaster: if it's ubuntu - it's here
[19:23] <krymel> (to overlay it and build a customized distro for my purposes)
[19:24] <JoeSomebody> sludge, i only have 1 linux and 3 windows
[19:24] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody: I have had problems with Karmic and stick to hardy harown 8.04
[19:24] <AIIID> what to do if everything is in grey/white music plays and only mouse is responsive?
[19:24] <zachorr> Can I get some help?
[19:24] <madPJKfan> slart: for what it's worth, seems to happen to others:  http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1902709.html
[19:24] <MorphyNOR> krymel: http://www.packtpub.com/article/create-local-ubuntu-repository-using-apt-mirror-apt-cacher
[19:24] <Digmaster> Whenever I open firefox I get the standard "Firefox is already running in another window and not responding". I tried to uninstall it via the Ubuntu software center but this did not fix the problem.
[19:25] <JoeSomebody> sacarlson if i use 8.04 can i update firefox?
[19:25] <Digmaster> It does not have a process by the way
[19:25] <krymel> thanks, MorphyNOR
[19:25] <zachorr> I'm trying to triple boot my MacBook 2,1 running 10.6.2 and Windows XP with Karmic, but the wireless isn't working properly
[19:25] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody: but it's people like you that will make it work for me when you guys fix it.
[19:25] <sski> Digmaster killall firefox
[19:25] <Slart> madPJKfan: sounds like a nasty bug
[19:25] <JoeSomebody> sacarlson not that it is real important
[19:25] <klown> Digmaster, i had that issue when i opened the firefox that was installed with ubuntu, and then running the updated version..make sure you are running them from the same place for multiple instances.
[19:25] <Digmaster> sski: firefox: no process found
[19:26] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody: firefox is another problem I have to stay with old to make my Ruby firewatir work
[19:26] <Digmaster> klown: How would I do that?
[19:26] <sski> install and run htop
[19:26] <MorphyNOR> Digmaster: do ps -aux | grep firefox
[19:26] <wilhart> what is a good player for kde i mean FULLHD movies
[19:26] <madPJKfan> slart: it'll be an ntfs thingy - just about ready to blow it away and install full ubuntu - been going extremely well so far.
[19:26] <MorphyNOR> wilhart: vlc
[19:26] <klown> Digmaster, if you run one from the shortcut on the taskbar, make sure to run the next from there also.
[19:26] <wilhart> MorphyNOR: it' scrambles and pouts
[19:26] <Slart> wilhart: depending on your hardware if it can handle full hd or not.. vlc does a good job of it on my system
[19:27] <wilhart> MorphyNOR: i'm trying mplayer
[19:27] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody: but yes I guess the latest firefox or mozilla runs on it
[19:27] <wilhart> Slart: yea in windows7 it plays good
[19:27] <Digmaster> MorphyNOR: Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html

[19:27] <zachorr> I'm trying to triple boot my MacBook 2,1 running 10.6.2 and Windows XP with Karmic, but the wireless isn't working properly. Does anyone know how I might go about fixing it?
[19:27] <wilhart> MorphyNOR: dualcore 2.3ghz
[19:27] <madPJKfan> going to see if cleaning the NTFS partition with doze tools will cid it - be back later to report in one way or the other
[19:27] <madPJKfan> *fix
[19:27] <JoeSomebody> if my samba service stops (pretty sure it does) can a script be written to check every 5 minutes and start it up if needed? could some nice guy write me one? :)
[19:27] <wilhart> MorphyNOR: should i use: xmga,xv,gl,gl2,xvidix, etc?
[19:27] <wilhart> or xv
[19:28] <madPJKfan> Joe: you want a cron job - shouldn't be too hard
[19:28] <zachorr> I've also tried Ubuntu 9.04, the wireless would work for a moment and disconnect randomly
[19:28] <Guest83771> Can Dansguardian prevent you from getting upgrades in Synaptic
[19:28] <MorphyNOR> Digmaster: without the -
[19:28] <madPJKfan> laters!
[19:28] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody: yes I"m sure you could if it totaly crashes you cold look at ps -a and make a bash script bring it up if it's no longer there
[19:29] <llutz> JoeSomebody: would be better to find out _why_ samba stops working (if it does)

[19:29] <Digmaster> Sorry I have no idea what this means
[19:29] <SiDi> Hi. I'm looking for an audio converter that can turn wma into ogg and preserve tags. Does anyone know any by chance?
[19:29] <Guest83771> I've tried diff servers and still no joy
[19:29] <Slart> DigitalFlux: that's the process for the search you did.. ie the search tool finding itself
[19:29] <JoeSomebody> llutz agreed, but how should i troubleshoot this further?
[19:29] <Slart> ooops.. sorry DigitalFlux.. wrong nick
[19:29] <Digmaster> Ill try uninstalling via synamptic Package Manenger
[19:29] <llutz> JoeSomebody: increase logging verbosity, check logs
[19:30] <MorphyNOR> Digmaster: then its not running mate
[19:30] <Slart> Digmaster: that's the process for the search you did.. ie the search tool finding itself
[19:30] <JoeSomebody> and i could have such a script anyway :)
[19:30] <sski> firefox can be killed from gnome system monitor
[19:30] <froglet> I removed ubuntu-netbook-remix and then rebooted but I still get the remix desktop and I do not want it.  Does anyone know how to get rid of it and get regular ubuntu desktop?
[19:30] <eltume> where can I download a .deb version of docky for gnome-do?
[19:30] <Digmaster> There is no process running for firefox
[19:30] <Digmaster> It is still telling me there is one
[19:30] <llutz> JoeSomebody: sure, something like "pgrep smbd || service samba restart" into your crontab
[19:30] <wilhart> damn
[19:30] <klown> Digmaster, try kill -9 7381
[19:30] <wilhart> should i overlclock
[19:31] <forceflow> froglet-> preferences -> switch desktop
[19:31] <Digmaster> klown: No such process
[19:31] <froglet> forceflow: ty I will try that
[19:31] <froglet> ps ax | grep firefox

[19:32] <sacarlson> ﻿JoeSomebody: I write bash scripts that reset my ADSL router when it crashes so I'm sure you can do the same with you samba
[19:32] <froglet> you might have to logout then login again
[19:32] <MorphyNOR> eltume: https://launchpad.net/~do-core/+archive/ppa maybe this will help

[19:34] <krymel_> MorphyMOR: are you also familiar with creating own remixes?

[19:43] <MorphyNOR> punk: where do you live?

[19:48] <naxa> hi mateys! I would like to build GTK+ on my 9.10. However, I've never built a big project like this before, unfortunately. So i'm a complate noob. I got a hint that I should use jhbuild. ok so jhbuild says to me "ImportError: No module named jhbuild" (just this, no .main or .commands, etc). I understand that it's missing it's python module but what now? isn't there a more up to date tool for building GTK+ since the ubuntu section of the
[19:48] <naxa>  jhbuild docs is 2 years old.
[19:48] <guntbert> punk: please no chatter - this channel is for ubuntu support
[19:48] <troppodel> MorphyNOR, have u any info about animated xplash with gdm2?
[19:48] <MorphyNOR> troppodel: no, sorry
[19:48] <punk> guntbert,  oks :=)
[19:48] <troppodel> MorphyNOR, no problem thanx
[19:48] <guntbert> punk: :)
[19:49] <troppodel> somebody else?
[19:49] <Jovial-Halgar> would windows be able to read from usb if the filesystem in ext3
[19:49] <MorphyNOR> Jovial-Halgar: no
[19:49] <Halitech> Jovial-Halgar, not unless you have installed third party tools
[19:50] <sacarlson> ﻿naxa: if your a noob you might want to try glade with python or perl or ruby,  you can make cool window evirments with them quicker
[19:50] <naxa> sacarlson, my intention is to rewrite the gtkfilechooser code for myself
[19:50] <vfen> where does pidgin logs goes?
[19:50] <froglet> guest my xchat crashed
[19:50] <wilhart> is there a program for ubuntu that shows fan speed and processor heat ?
[19:51] <apanda> llutz my plan was to do a ps aux once and then grep it 5 times. i assume that is more efficient than using pgrep 5x with different strings? the problem with my plan was that when i assigned the ps aux output to a variable that it lost the linebreaks and was as such no longer very useful
[19:51] <naxa> sacarlson, if I've got to the point when I can build GTK+ that's okay, I think I'll manage the rest :)

[19:51] <sacarlson> ﻿naxa:  I'm not sure what the filechooser does but the user interface can be writen with glade that uses gtk
[19:51] <wilhart> not gkrellm
[19:51] <MorphyNOR> vfen: somewhere within /var/
[19:52] <naxa> sacarlson, ok. I mean my intention is to modify GNOME itself and not to write an app with ui
[19:52] <guntbert> vfen: you could look in ~/.pidgin (or so...)
[19:53] <naxa> sacarlson, the problem is just that I'm a complete noob. :) anyway, thanks for the hint! :)
[19:53] <sacarlson> ﻿naxa:  oh ok you just want to modify a work in progress cool
[19:53] <kriss3d> Hi people. Is there a special ubuntu for MAC or ? I burned a disc for my uncle who has a mac-somthing but he just mailed me saying it wont boot
[19:53] <hackel> Whenever I press ALT-F* or Alt-left arrow, I get switched to another VT, as if the control key is stuck down.  Any ideas what might be causing this or how to solve it?
[19:53] <naxa> sacarlson, yeah that's the case. however, I'm stuck with this build-helper tool...
[19:53] <apanda> did you try to boot it at home kriss3d?
[19:53] <wilhart> i need CPU TEMP and MHZ
[19:53] <sacarlson> ﻿naxa: well I have only little expeirence with gui software but glade was the way to go when I did
[19:53] <kriss3d> apanda:  yeah but only on a regular PC.. that worked like a charm
[19:54] <M30W> What multi-protocol AIM client do you guys use? I want to try out a few.
[19:54] <likedudewut> When attempting to mount an encrypted file container with TrueCrypt: http://pastebin.com/m7772990f  This problem started after a Live CD session crashed while the volume was mounted.
[19:54] <naxa> sacarlson, I see. will try it :)
[19:54] <MorphyNOR> M30W: pidgin, empathy?
[19:54] <Ov3rf10w> M30W, pidgin
[19:54] <sacarlson> ﻿naxa: sometimes it's better to take smaller steps
[19:54] <llutz> apanda: you can use "pgrep 'word1|word2|word3'"
[19:55] <Legendario> does anyone here play America's Army?
[19:55] <M30W> Yeah, i've used both... Are they pretty much the best i'm gonna get? I got spoiled to digsby
[19:55] <Legendario> Can anyone help me with that?
[19:55] <Legendario> can't get on any servers
[19:55] <eddym> MorphyNOR, can you help me out with mbr?
[19:55] <naxa> sacarlson, it's sure but it's a thing what is bothering me for years now. I finally decided to "fix" it. :)
[19:55] <PrototypeX29A> Legendario: you just have to enlisten and kill some arabs
[19:55] <sacarlson> ﻿﻿naxa: but for all I know maybe gtk++ has tools like glade by now
[19:55] <apanda> ok was just making sure kriss3d, i cant answer your question definitively, but you should probably state what kind of mac it was ;)
[19:55] <MorphyNOR> eddym: what was the problem?
[19:56] <Legendario> PrototypeX29A, it tells me to enable punkbuster, but it is enabled
[19:56] <PrototypeX29A> oh it is a computer game?
[19:56] <kriss3d> apanda:  yeah ty i just mailed him asking exactly what kind it is
[19:56] <apanda> llutz i'm checking for 5 different server iterations which i then restart if they are not running, i suppose "or" doesnt work well there :)
[19:56] <PrototypeX29A> Legendario: sorry, my bad
[19:56] <llutz> apanda: true
[19:57] <eddym> MorphyNOR, was working fine made a backup from clonezilla.. however, my xp went automatically into factory restore... so, it lost the mb on the internal drive... however, before this happend i did make a mbr-backup in my home folder i believe not sure how to navigate to it
[19:57] <MorphyNOR> Legendario: google: ubuntu wine americas army punkbuster workaround
[19:57] <poseidon> Is there a way I can make it so that when I plug headphones into my laptop the laptop speakers are disabled and all audio is played thogh myhadphones?
[19:57] <Gieke> isn't that standard?
[19:57] <iceroot> poseidon: that is normaly done by the hardware
[19:57] <Gieke> my pc does that
[19:58] <eddym> MorphyNOR, so i need to save the mbr to my usb and then launch it while i have a live cd i guess
[19:58] <Legendario> MorphyNOR, i am not using wine. I am playing with the native linux version
[19:58] <janedoe> is there a graphic (eg ncurses) parted, like gparted but for command line, like server edition
[19:58] <MorphyNOR> Legendario: is that still around?
[19:58] <Digmaster1> I restarted the system, uninstalled firefox via synamptic package manenger, and reinstalled it via the Ubuntu software center. Its still giving me "Firefox is already running in a different process"
[19:58] <MorphyNOR> eddym: hmm, I don't know how to fix it
[19:59] <Legendario> MorphyNOR, it isn't???? I don't know. I have it installed
[19:59] <Nest_shkodrani> anyone have chips  for sale
[19:59] <MorphyNOR> Legendario: the linux client.... that is
[19:59] <sacarlson> ﻿janedoe: fdisk is the only one I know
[19:59] <kriss3d> my laptop does that too.. in vista it would have a seperate control for that.. so if i have to turn up the sound when using earphones it wont blow the speakers when i pull out the plug
[20:00] <Legendario> MorphyNOR, yes. the linux client. That's the one I installed
[20:00] <MorphyNOR> Legendario: I dont doubt you, but... is it a new version?
[20:00] <wilhart> my sensors cant find fan speed and voltage and stuff

[20:07] <hat> what was your question wilhart?
[20:07] <Legendario> MorphyMOR, thanks anyways
[20:07] <sacarlson> ﻿Digmaster1: when firefox would crash on some sites chrome seemed to stay open but I still like firefox better
[20:08] <eddym> MorphyNOR, how do i get to my interal drive where my home directory is
[20:08] <MorphyNOR> eddym: mount it
[20:08] <Rewt`> I always keep a secondary browser handy
[20:08] <MorphyNOR> !mount | eddym
[20:08] <Rewt`> wilhart: I missed your question. What was it?

[20:09] <shazbot> Can bad sectors on a hard drive cause random hard freezes/lockups?
[20:09] <MorphyNOR> wilhart: maybe your hw does not have temp.sensors?
[20:09] <wilhart> MorphyNOR: heh works in windows7
[20:09] <Rewt`> wilhart: how old is your system?
[20:09] <Kronch> Hi all
[20:09] <Rewt`> hey Kronch
[20:10] <meowsus> Say i ran: sudo gedit xorg.conf from my terminal. Ubuntu opens a gedit window thats bound to the terminal window, so that when gedit is closed the terminal becomes accessable again. Is there a way to open gedit without the bind to term?
[20:10] <sacarlson> ﻿shazbot: you might try clean the conectors on the memory chips.  I got my old computer back up and working after frez problems
[20:10] <guntbert> wilhart: did you install lm-sensors?
[20:10] <sacarlson> ﻿shazbot:  frezz is not lickly a hard drive problem
[20:10] <guntbert> !gksudo | meowsus
[20:10] <wilhart> guntbert: nope
[20:11] <shazbot> sacarlson: alright cool i'll try that
[20:11] <guntbert> wilhart: you'll need them I guess
[20:11] <wilhart> guntbert: ok need i restart ?
[20:11] <eddym> sacarlson,  that is under terminal but i need drive info right where mbr  is /dev/sda
[20:11] <Digmaster1> Update didn't work
[20:11] <guntbert> wilhart: don't know
[20:11] <Slart> meowsus: and add a & at the end will get you the terminal prompt back again
[20:11] <meowsus> guntbert, GOOD TO KNOW, haha
[20:11] <HaRiTh> Digmaster1: did you try "killall firefox-bin"
[20:12] <meowsus> Slart, thanks!
[20:12] <sacarlson> ﻿eddym: oh I thought you wanted you home directory,  you want the boot disk?
[20:12] <Rewt`> Digmaster1: any error reported?
[20:12] <Digmaster1> HaRiTh: No process found
[20:12] <Digmaster1> Rewt` says "404 file not found"
[20:12] <eddym> sacarlson, i need my home directory but from that drive let me paste bin it
[20:12] <Rewt`> Digmaster1: what did you type in to update it?
[20:12] <guntbert> Digmaster1: did you rename the firefox-folder?
[20:13] <sacarlson> ﻿﻿eddym:   you can do a #mount   to see were your root drive is mounted
[20:13] <Digmaster1> sudo apt-get upgrade firefox
[20:13] <daffy> bsr comment faire pour rejoindre ubuntu.fr merci
[20:13] <Digmaster1> I never renamed the firefox folder
[20:13] <root> what is the ubuntu equivilent to 'inittab' on a redhat system?
[20:13] <Digmaster1> Heres the error Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic-updates/main gdm 2.28.1-0ubuntu2

[20:13] <Rewt`> Digmaster1: just a thought... have you updated your source list?
[20:13] <MorphyNOR> Digmaster1: hmm I believe the "firefox is running app" is stuck in something, try looking for it and figure out where it gets its info from
[20:13] <guntbert> Digmaster1: I suggested: try to rename ~/.mozilla/firefox
[20:14] <Digmaster1> Rewt` how do I update my source list
[20:14] <Guest58415> is there a inittab equivilent in ubuntu?
[20:14] <Digmaster1> guntbert:A Ill try to rename it
[20:14] <Guest58415> i need to have a mount script run at startup
[20:14] <eddym> sacarlson, here is the pastebin my backup of mbr should be on my home dir http://pastebin.com/m32c566bf
[20:14] <sacarlson> ﻿ eddym:  with #mount  you can see what disk /home/xxxx is located
[20:14] <Digmaster1> Where do I find ~/.mozilla/firefox?
[20:15] <eddym> sacarlson, its on the first internal drive with 320 gigs
[20:15] <Guest58415> Digmaster1: /home/{user}/.mozilla/firefox
[20:15] <eddym> sacarlson, runnning from external usb bczuz grub is missing ;-X
[20:15] <llutz> Guest58415: why not using fstab?
[20:15] <Guest58415> or just type in 'cd ~/.mozilla/firefox
[20:15] <the-code> /dns $nick(#,$rand(1,$nick(#,0)))
[20:15] <meowsus> Heres another question. From terminal i can run tons of commands. These commands are links to programs located around the filesystem. How can i find the location of the program file that's connected to the command.
[20:15] <Supersaiyan_IV> Digmaster1, ~ is the home folder
[20:15] <Digmaster1> oh, thanks
[20:15] <Guest58415> llutz: because im running off a usb drive and it resets the fstab after each power off
[20:15] <sacarlson> eddym: ok now give me the #mount command so we can see what drive it's on
[20:15] <meowsus> For example. Where is 'gedit' or 'nvidia-settings' located within the filesystem? How can i find this for any program i run?
[20:15] <wilhart> still cant' see those sensors
[20:16] <Digmaster1> I renamed firefox
[20:16]  * BaCkTrAck Hi GuYs
[20:16] <eddym> sacarlson, not sure of the mount cmd?
[20:16] <Digmaster1> Renaming firefox worked!
[20:16] <hat> dose this work for windows 7 http://www.fs-driver.org/index.html
[20:16] <sacarlson> ﻿eddym: man mount
[20:16] <kriss3d> BaCkTrAck:  hi there.. another fellow BT user i see
[20:16] <llutz> Guest58415: since ubuntu swaps to upstart, theres no inittab anymore.
[20:16] <Guest58415> meowsus: try 'sudo updatedb;locate {programname}'
[20:16] <eddym> sacarlson, ok did mount
[20:16] <Digmaster1> Thank you everyone who helped, renaming firefox seems to have done thi tricks, thanks
[20:16] <eddym> sacarlson, then waht dir?
[20:16] <Guest58415> llutz: where is the upstart confi at?
[20:17] <MorphyNOR> Digmaster1: great :)
[20:17] <sacarlson> ﻿eddym:  the one that has the /home   directory
[20:17] <trism> meowsus: or just which gedit; which nvidia-settings
[20:17] <Digmaster1> Only problem is a Lost all my addons and saved passwords
[20:17] <llutz> Guest58415: good question... /etc/event.d holds some, but i don't really know, sorry
[20:17] <MorphyNOR> eddym: you have to define that in the mount command
[20:17] <Guest58415> or what trism said
[20:18] <sacarlson> ﻿eddym: remind you the /home is just your personal files , text files , pics ext....
[20:18] <n00bish> well thats going to be annoying :(
[20:18] <eddym> sacarlson, i didnt mount b4 thats why im having probs

[20:18] <wilhart> my sensors doesnt work!!!! i insatlled lm_sensors but still not working
[20:18] <MorphyNOR> eddym: you said you've lost your mbr? did you try to fix it using the live cd?
[20:18] <Milp> Hey guys, i got a screen that lists some stuff and then it goes ~ every line until it says 'END', how do i close this screen without cancelling the whole application?
[20:18] <guntbert> meowsus: use which gedit
[20:19] <Pici> Milp: press q
[20:19] <eddym> MorphyNOR, no you need to go intro recovery mode with live cd?
[20:19] <sacarlson> ﻿eddym: oh ok  well if that's were you put it that's where it should be
[20:19] <MorphyNOR> Milp: ctrl+z I think ;)
[20:19] <n00bish> Milp: or run it with a & at the end of it
[20:19] <guntbert> Digmaster1: you can copy them back - piece per piece

[20:20] <n00bish> wilhart, huh?
[20:20] <sacarlson> ﻿eddym: just cd to the directory you mounted it

[20:21] <eddym> guys is there a recovery mode for mbr with live cd?
[20:21] <newbie123abc> hello world!
[20:21] <n00bish> i think it is like 'grub --install' or something
[20:21] <newbie123abc> how can a lock a package version, without synaptic?
[20:22] <n00bish> but grub isn't my speciality so i dont know
[20:22] <n00bish> newbie123abc: lock?
[20:22] <llutz> newbie123abc:sudo aptitude hold package
[20:22] <recmajkemi> how can i set that font size in firefox menus is smaller
[20:22] <newbie123abc> llutz: and about must i put on?
[20:23] <sacarlson> ﻿eddym:  normaly boot stuff is on /boot  dir the mbr is just the first sector of the boot disk

[20:23] <jatt> anyone using Ubuntu One with 9.10?
[20:23] <eddym> sacarlson, right the first 512
[20:23] <sacarlson> ﻿﻿eddym:  and yes I think the live cd can fix the mbr of the boot disk
[20:23] <llutz> newbie123abc: that will set package in actual version on hold
[20:23] <eddym> sacarlson, checking www
[20:24] <guntbert> !anyone | jatt

[20:38] <chrisw_> Ninjix: correct, it didnt autoset to Gb

[20:53] <csmith1994> hi
[20:54] <guntbert> animuson: yes
[20:54] <animuson> guntbert: 69.162.117.102 & 69.162.117.103
[20:54] <rob_p> soupsandwiches: I guess we're not communicating... I don't know what you are trying to do/change so I can't provide any further assistance.
[20:55] <csmith1994> i have a problem with my wireless card. I have a bcm4312. I am aware that it is unsupported and I was wondering if there was anyway to fix it. I have installed b43 and it didn't work can someone help me find the windows driver so I can use ndiswrapper with it
[20:55] <guntbert> animuson: now ping -c1 8.8.8.8
[20:55] <navidhg> google it
[20:55] <navidhg> csmith1994: google it
[20:55] <guntbert> !google | navidhg

[20:55] <navidhg> ok
[20:56] <animuson> guntbert: http://pastebin.com/m62c38ad5
[20:56] <squiddy> csmith1994: use broadcom-sta driver for bcm4312
[20:56] <csmith1994> squiddy where could i find that
[20:56] <Flamekebab> I can't umount the root file system to run a bad blocks check unless I do it at boot (my laptop doesn't have a disc drive, so I can't use a livecd)
[20:56] <Flamekebab> So how do I use forcefsck to run as -c ?
[20:56] <edbian> Can someone explain to me why when i'm editing this picture I made that I now can't add any new colors to it?
[20:56] <edbian> in gimp
[20:57] <kcj1993> how do I record video from a web cam without massive lag?
[20:57] <soupsandwiches> rob_p: I'm trying to alter the init string setting to the one recomended by my service provider for my USB modem
[20:57] <guntbert> animuson: so your network is configured ok - it seems to be a problem of name resolution only - please pastebin /etc/resolv.cfg
[20:57] <mneptok> Flamekebab: use usb-creator to create a USB startup volume and boot off that
[20:57] <squiddy> csmith1994: apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
[20:57] <scala> hi
[20:57] <Flamekebab> mneptok, no can do, my laptop is too old for that
[20:57] <csmith1994> I dont have an alternate internet connection
[20:57] <llutz> Flamekebab: apply changes to /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh
[20:57] <animuson> guntbert: there is no resolv.cfg, theres a resolv.conf and a resolvconf folder
[20:58] <csmith1994> squiddy I'm on windows right now I don't have an alternate internet connection I can use on ubuntu
[20:58] <Flamekebab> llutz, I'll try that
[20:58] <gerrh> hello there. i have an interesting phenomena going on here. on all my windows boxes i can connect to any web server on the interwebs, but on my ubuntu laptop i can't get any response. if i run windows in a vm on the ubuntu laptop, facebook works. i'm not running a firewall locally and the one firewall i do have running haven't been changed since long before this started happening. i can ping facebook.com and it responds, but still no go in firefox, o
[20:58] <gerrh> pera or links. any thoughts?
[20:58] <ikonia> gerrh: check the dns settings on your ubuntu machine
[20:59] <guntbert> animuson: sorry - I always use <tab> completion so I never remember the correct names - please /etc/resolv.conf
[20:59] <kcj1993> hello
[20:59] <scala> got a small prob after installing wine under 9.10. : apt-get tries to install some fonts that can not be retrieved. any hint how i can stop it?
[20:59] <gerrh> ikonia, points to the same server as all other boxes on the lan
[20:59] <ikonia> gerrh: check it can use it though
[20:59] <Bookman> Anybody have XPlane installed?  If so, how did you do it?
[20:59] <gerrh> ikonia, check it can use it?
[21:00] <csmith1994> squiddy I need to know how to install those drivers without an alternate internet connection
[21:00] <rob_p> soupsandwiches: What change does your provider want to to make?  Depending on what it is, there may be a more appropriate place to add it.
[21:00] <animuson> guntbert: http://pastebin.com/m1172bb4c
[21:00] <squiddy> csmith1994: download these: fakeroot_1.12.4ubuntu1_i386, dkms_2.1.0.1-0ubuntu1_all, bcmwl-kernel-source_5.10.91.9+bdcom-0ubuntu4_i386, patch_2.5.9-5_i386 on packages.ubuntu.com
[21:01] <csmith1994> k and then install them
[21:01] <csmith1994> squiddy install them all then what?
[21:02] <scala>  for example, this font: http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/andale32.exe
[21:02] <guntbert> animuson: do you run your own name server
[21:02] <paulus68> ikonia:  I run bind on my server and when I start it I get this error message  rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: timed out however everything continues to work but hate that failure message
[21:02] <Guest6798> Good evenings. I've got a little problem with Ubuntu 9.10. I'm trying it from the live cd but the internet connection does not work properly. I can connect to google.fr, but that is all. No other website works, so I think it may be a DNS problem. I checked the settings (DHCP) and compared them to another computer which runs xubuntu 9.04 - I saw no difference. Has anybody an idea about what I...
[21:02] <Guest6798> ...could try to do ? I would not want to install something that does not work.
[21:02] <squiddy> csmith1994: install them first, fakeroot, then bcmwl, then patch, then dkms. then reboot
[21:02] <Scunizi> gerrh: can you get to any site?
[21:02] <animuson> guntbert: yea ns1.animuson.com and ns2.animuson.com go to those 2 ips
[21:02] <scala> anyone? i dont need that font. how can i help apt-get?
[21:02] <gerrh> Scunizi, aye. all but facebook. -.-
[21:02] <csmith1994> squiddy and then my wifi will work?
[21:03] <dangreaves> hey guys, anyone manage a music collection using ubuntu here?
[21:03] <gerrh> Scunizi, almost prepared to accept this weird behaviour as a sign of sorts.. :D
[21:03] <ikonia> paulus68: a.) why are you running bind on your server if you don't know how to use it b.) do you want rndc to use localhost for zone transfer/updates ?
[21:03] <soupsandwiches> rob_p: the chang is to add "at+cgdcont=1" to the dial out for my usb modem. In windows the usb software has the function to do this. I may have caused confusion with the term init string, my hours of googling led me to call it that.
[21:03] <squiddy> csmith1994: i done that and i got my bcm4312 card worked.
[21:03] <Scunizi> gerrh: when you try to go to facebook what kind of error do you get?
[21:03] <ikonia> gerrh: check your ubuntu machine can use the dns server
[21:03] <hess502> Guest6798 i would install it, because 9.10 is great, I installed it on a few diffrent configurations and with proper configuration i works great
[21:04] <guntbert> animuson: then you somehow misconfigured your name server - because the addresses in resolv.conf are the same you gave me as IP addresses of your machine
[21:04] <hess502> it*
[21:04] <Scunizi> ikonia: he can get to other sites... just not facebook
[21:04] <paulus68> ikonia: bind was running correctly and I don't know how the rndc got involved on my server
[21:04] <ikonia> Scunizi: I thought that was only though windows
[21:04] <Guest6798> hess502: well, without an internet connection, it would be useless. If I can make it work, of course I'll install it.
[21:04] <csmith1994> squiddy you didn't have to do anything else?
[21:04] <gerrh> Scunizi, Server not found in firefox, Host not found in links, and so on
[21:04] <soupsandwiches> ikonia:facebook is down for me in eire.
[21:04] <ikonia> paulus68: rndc is part of binds update procedure
[21:04] <dangreaves> does anyone here manage a large music collection using ubuntu?
[21:04] <Scunizi> ikonia: not from what he just said
[21:04] <gerrh> Scunizi, yet facebook.com responds to my pings
[21:05] <gerrh> Scunizi, it's almost as if they have blocked me or something..
[21:05] <Diverdude> is there a way that icons on the desktop will always appear in the smallest possible size?
[21:05] <Scunizi> gerrh: can you get to it via ip?
[21:05] <animuson> guntbert: should they be pointing to the ip addresses for my domain provider?
[21:05] <squiddy> csmith1994: nope, as i can remember.
[21:05] <Milp> Is there a signal i can send to a process to restart it?
[21:05] <rob_p> soupsandwiches: What dialer are you using (wvdial gnomeppp, etc.)?
[21:05] <Flamekebab> llutz, the file is empty, do I just add "-c" in there or what?
[21:05] <ikonia> Milp: -HUP
[21:05] <hess502> Guest6798 running live cd isnt good way to check the new wersion, I for example did'nt have sound with running it live
[21:05] <csmith1994> squiddy thanks im gonna try that now
[21:06] <csmith1994> !quit
[21:06] <squiddy> csmith1994: ok. good luck.
[21:06] <llutz> Milp: kill -SIGCONT pid
[21:06] <gerrh> Scunizi, indeed i can.
[21:06] <gerrh> Scunizi, guess dns somewhere along the way is fubared then ey
[21:07] <Guest6798> hess502: hmm, I'll try it, but if it does not work, I'll go back to XP for this computer. XP works great with the wifi, I've never had any problem :-)
[21:07] <soupsandwiches> rob_p: I think gnome ppp, there are no settings in wvdial.conf
[21:07] <Scunizi> gerrh: when you try to get there with the domain name are  you typing the www or just "facebook.com"..
[21:07] <Milp> This is weird, the SSHD is running, but i cant connect to it D:
[21:07] <gerrh> Scunizi, tried both www. and facebook.com alone
[21:07] <llutz> Flamekebab: ups, not empty on jaunty. check for other bootscripts performing fsck at boottime. i don't know anything about upstarts scripts (karmic(
[21:07] <guntbert> animuson: not necessarily - but if they point to your local name server that server must be configured correctly - you could point them to your ISP's NS (or use opendns.org) just to test if everything else is ok
[21:07] <gerrh> Scunizi, made no difference
[21:07] <edbian> I'm trying to edit a .gif and I can only draw in the colors that are already in the picture (there are only two) any help?
[21:07] <gerrh> Scunizi, haha..epic. Firefox can't find the server at login.63.187.17.
[21:08] <Scunizi> gerrh: then you're correct.. dns is messed someplace.  if you have a router you might want to try using the opendns.com dns servers.. they are listed at the bottom of their page..
[21:08] <hess502> Guest6798 i also have xp as a seccond system, because I'm a gamer, but 9.10 is really the best:))
[21:08] <gerrh> Scunizi, tried logging in after getting the connection via ip
[21:08] <paulus68> ikonia: ok do you have a pointer on how to solve this?
[21:08] <hess502> Guest6798 just try it, and you'll gonna love it:)
[21:08] <gerrh> Scunizi, it's strange that the windows boxes doesn't seem to suffer though isn't it.
[21:09] <ikonia> paulus68: it's not a problem if you're not doing zone transefers, it means rncd can't communicate with bind on the local host address
[21:09] <Milp> This is weird, the SSHD is running, but i cant connect to it D: Anyone?
[21:09] <llutz> Milp: error?
[21:09] <Scunizi> gerrh: that is weird.. I've no answer for this one .. sorry
[21:09] <ikonia> Milp: try it on the localhost
[21:09] <paulus68> ikonia: ok thanks
[21:09] <ikonia> Milp: ssh localhost
[21:09] <gerrh> Scunizi, no worries. thanks anyhow. :>
[21:09] <pting> is there a sshfs fstab options such that it'll do a sudo su immediately after mounting? ie... sshfs#myserver: /mnt/blah fuse user,noauto,initcmd='sudo su' 0 0
[21:09] <Milp> what do you mean ikonia? I am on a windows machine trying to connect to my server :/
[21:10] <ikonia> Milp: then how do you know ssh is running ?
[21:10] <alteregoa> how can i login to a ubuntu machine with a public ip , vinagre dosnt allow public IPs!
[21:10] <rob_p> soupsandwiches: wvdial has a utility which generates a, "generic config" that can be tweaked to your settings.  Can't remember what the command is at the moment but it's in the docs for wvdial.  I've not used gnome ppp so can't comment on it.  My guess is, you configure whatever dialer you're going to use and then have Networkmanager invoke the dialer.  But maybe Networkmanager has the built-in capability to dial directly... not sure.
[21:10] <Milp> ikonia i have a webinterface that is always online that lets me see processes and some other basic things and sshd is running
[21:10] <alteregoa> the remote machine is running on CD
[21:10] <soupsandwiches> rob_p: Thanks
[21:10] <ikonia> Milp: what is the web interface ?
[21:10] <ikonia> Milp: then that web interface would appear wrong - or there is something blocking you
[21:11] <ikonia> Milp: can you connect to port 22 on the target machine with telnet ?
[21:11] <Milp> ikonia its parallels power panel
[21:11] <Milp> ikonia telnet on 22? not 23?
[21:11] <Flamekebab> How would I force fsck to run at boot time with the -c parameter to check for bad blocks?
[21:11] <ikonia> Milp: apologies, 23
[21:12] <Scunizi> alteregoa: the remote is running on live cd with a public IP?
[21:12] <ikonia> Milp: is this a "container" or a physical machine install ?
[21:12] <Ricoshady> by default does the server install only have the basic system, not a bunch of other shit?
[21:12] <kcj1993> what is an alternative to cheese?
[21:12] <Milp> a container only
[21:12] <genii> kcj1993: VLC
[21:12] <Scunizi> alteregoa: is it behind a router?
[21:12] <ikonia> Milp: ok, then the host networking maybe down
[21:12] <Milp> a container only ikonia *
[21:13] <ikonia> Milp: that situation ssh could be running on the guest, but the host network being unavailable stops it
[21:13] <Milp> hm no, its definately something i messed up, because it only stopped working after i restarted after a dist upgrade
[21:13] <Milp> on the target container i mean
[21:13] <ikonia> Milp: ahh, sshd probably needs restarting if ssl has been updated or libpcap
[21:13] <ikonia> Milp: yup, that would make sense
[21:13] <Milp> ikonia hm i already restarted like thrice :/
[21:13] <alteregoa> sctrunzi: ITS directly PUBLIC IP!
[21:14] <Milp> ikonia ill just try again, maybe something changed now *prays*
[21:14] <Scunizi> alteregoa: then did you turn on that feature on the remote machine.. ?  it's not "on" by default
[21:14] <alteregoa> how
[21:15] <kcj1993> genii, how do i use vlc to record from a web cam?
[21:15] <Scunizi> alteregoa: typically System>Preferences>Remote Desktop .. there's some settings there.
[21:15] <alteregoa> no
[21:15] <alteregoa> there is no setting thats why i ask
[21:15] <alteregoa> its rstricted to 192.x class C
[21:17] <genii> kcj1993: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=143732
[21:17]  * MenZa hugs genii 
[21:17] <Scunizi> alteregoa: that shouldn't make a difference.. remote connections typically come in on port 5900 (or is it 5200?).. so when connecting try http://<IP Address>:5900
[21:17] <Scunizi> alteregoa: or just IP:5900
[21:17]  * genii feeds MenZa more coffee
[21:18] <MenZa> :D
[21:18] <MenZa> 5900, I think.
[21:18] <alteregoa> man!
[21:18] <iamurfuda> I setup ubuntu on lvm and now would like to resize it to allow me to install other distros into other virtual partitions. I haven't worked out yet if it possible to shrink an xfs partition?
[21:18] <Scunizi> you're right
[21:18] <MenZa> woman!
[21:18] <alteregoa> its RESTRICTED TO 192
[21:18] <Scunizi> alteregoa: on the remote machine?  where do you see that?
[21:18] <melik> does eucalytpus have any web interface management software
[21:19] <Scunizi> alteregoa: lets clairify.. the HOST is the ubuntu machine right?  the GUEST is the remote?
[21:21] <alteregoa> ahhh
[21:21] <iamurfuda> melik: just reading through the google searches I reckon it does
[21:21] <alteregoa> i said i have a Remote host with a Public IP
[21:21] <Scunizi> alteregoa: and it's running the ubuntu live cd?
[21:22] <alteregoa> yes i said that
[21:22] <ubuntu> hola
[21:22] <ubuntu> joder
[21:22] <Scunizi> alteregoa: just clairifing.. and the machine you're connecting from is it also linux based or windows?
[21:22] <alteregoa> whats the COMMAND to run the vino-server to allow PUBLIC IPs?!
[21:22] <guntbert> !es | ubuntu
[21:22] <alteregoa> shell cmd
[21:23] <_ganymede> I have extracted .iso files into a usb... boot loader recognizes the partitions, but I get a kernel panic saying VFS: unable to mount root fs...any suggestions?
[21:23] <Oneliner> guntbert he s actually swearing
[21:23] <alteregoa> i have to work
[21:23] <yy> how can I play *.dat file in Ubuntu, VLC cant do that
[21:24] <iamurfuda> alteregoa: I thought it was just 'vino' :P
[21:26] <alteregoa> give me a competent dude
[21:26] <Scunizi> iamurfuda: for some reason he thinks vino is restriced to using 192 addresses and not public ip addresses.. never seen that myself.. he must be doing something wrong
[21:26] <iamurfuda> you can pass other options to it at the shell but if you configure it all before hand it is unnecessary
[21:26] <guntbert> !attitude | alteregoa
[21:26] <alteregoa> it is restricted to 192x
[21:26] <iamurfuda> hmm...
[21:26] <alteregoa> scunzi: please refrain from that believe, as i said its so
[21:27] <Scunizi> alteregoa: you still haven't answered why you think it's restriced to 192 addresses

[21:28] <Bookman> Anyone have XPlane working on Ubuntu 9.10?  If so, how did you do it?
[21:28] <Ricoshady> when ubuntu installs asks if this is going to be a OpenSSH server, is all that asking is if you need to connect by ssh? or is that installed by default?
[21:28] <Ricoshady> I do need to be able to connect via ssh
[21:29] <RobotFreak> Hello, I have a wacom digitizer touchscreen that is working with a fresh install of 9.10. Only problem is that the calibration/alignment is realy bad, how can I fix this?

[21:29] <TXX> Hey
[21:30] <TXX> i got ubuntu server installed
[21:30] <Flamekebab> Can I get GRUB to boot a USB stick for me?
[21:30] <TXX> with no Desktop envoirment and i would like to install basic gnome but without it starting up for the server, just so i can vnc in to it
[21:30] <TXX> Flamekebab, : s yeah i think so
[21:30] <Scunizi> Flamekebab: that's typically a bios option.. depending on your bios and motherboard you can typically hit F9, F12, Esc to toggle to the boot options screen and choose usb
[21:30] <Purpley> How do i delete a file via the terminal?
[21:31] <iamurfuda> TXX: what happens when you just install vino?
[21:31] <guntbert> TXX: #ubuntu-server is better suited
[21:31] <lstarnes> Purpley: rm
[21:31] <paulus68> how can I adapt my source list so that's not pointing to a belgium server?
[21:31] <iamurfuda> surely it should install all the necessary dependancie
[21:31] <Bookman> txx:  just ssh into it
[21:31] <TXX> guntbert, thanks
[21:31] <TXX> Bookman, done :P
[21:31] <Flamekebab> Scunizi, typically, yes, but my laptop does not support USB boot. I'm wondering what I would need to tell GRUB in order for it to boot for me
[21:31] <hacked_kernel> have any one succeeded in synchronizing a pocket pc with ubuntu?
[21:31] <Scunizi> paulus68: open synaptic package manager and in the sources tab you can change the servers or have it search for the fastest server for your location.
[21:32] <Bookman> hacked_kernel, I'd love to hear an answer on this one as well!
[21:32] <paulus68> Scunizi: from the cli if possible
[21:32] <Purpley> So if I enter sudo rm /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
[21:32] <Purpley>  its not going to delete root or anything like that? Because I know a prank involving rm and it deleting linux
[21:32] <Scunizi> Flamekebab: ah.. now that's a good question.. one I don't have an answer too. sorry
[21:32] <lstarnes> Purpley: it only removes what you tell it to remove
[21:32] <hacked_kernel> booh, :D
[21:32] <Purpley> OK very well just making sure lol
[21:33] <hacked_kernel> booh, sorry, wrong msg
[21:33] <hacked_kernel> Bookman, :D
[21:33] <meway> can anyone tell me why vlc media works on windows but not on ubuntu?
[21:33] <Flamekebab> Scunizi, that's okay, maybe someone else can answer me. I'm trying to boot DSL so I can run a bad blocks check on my root partition
[21:33] <ashka> hello all
[21:33] <TXX> Flamekebab, in grub you can set kernel path
[21:33] <ashka> i have a bug with apt-get
[21:33] <skrite> Purpley, rm will only remove the file that you specify by name.  to remove a whole directory, you use  rm -R /path/to/directory
[21:33] <iamurfuda> Flamekebab: As far as I know unless your computer recognises as a disk then you can't boot of a usb from grub
[21:33] <ashka> i want to install postfix
[21:33] <Scunizi> paulus68: /etc/apt/sources.list I think is the file..
[21:33] <TXX> a mate of mine booted from usb or other something
[21:33] <guntbert> paulus68: from cli you have to change every line in /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:33] <ashka> he means he have to uninstall xmail
[21:34] <iamurfuda> because it needs to reference it
[21:34] <Purpley> OK thanks guys
[21:34] <ashka> he doing... and error opening stat-override
[21:34] <ashka> ahd xmail doesn't removed and postfix not instlaled
[21:34] <ashka> installed*
[21:34] <meway> how do i get vlc media player working properly on ubuntu 9.10 k ?
[21:34] <luizpaulo_> como atualizo ubuntu
[21:34] <Scunizi> Flamekebab: you can force a check disk on reboot if you what.. now I forgot what the 4 letter acronym is for that fsck I think.. hang on
[21:34] <Purpley> Is there a GUI available for running proftpd?
[21:34] <Scunizi> !fsck | Flamekebab
[21:35] <skrite> meway, what type of file are you trying to play
[21:35] <meway> just a dvd
[21:35] <luizpaulo_> atualizar o sistema
[21:35] <skrite> meway, yeah, there is a trick to it, lemme find the link
[21:35] <Flamekebab> Scunizi, yeah, but I need it to run with -c which is apparently not safe
[21:35] <Flamekebab> Hence why I'm planning to boot from USB and go from there
[21:35] <meway> skrite oh thank you
[21:35] <Purpley> Is there a GUI available for running proftpd?
[21:36] <recmajkemi>  how to deselect, at instalation selected option to share my data with lunux comunity?
[21:36] <Scunizi> Flamekebab: got a cdrom on that machine? (thinks probably not since you're attempting with usb)
[21:36] <iamurfuda> Flamekebab: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB
[21:36] <recmajkemi> *linux
[21:36] <Flamekebab> Scunizi - it's a Toshiba Portege 3490CT and has either a USB floppy drive or a network connection
[21:36] <TXX> Purpley, in cli you type service proftpd
[21:36] <TXX> but else you have to edit conf fails manually
[21:37] <TXX> files*
[21:37] <skrite> meway, check both of these https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu  and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats

[21:37] <|fn|Grim> Hi, im trying to install ubuntu on my computer with a nvidia driver but all i get is the command line for ubuntu instead of the graphical desktop
[21:38] <guntbert> !it | luis_lopez
[21:38] <Flamekebab> Scunizi, I'll give it a shot!
[21:38] <iamurfuda> has anyone had experience with shrinking lvm partitions, in particular xfs partitions?
[21:38] <guntbert> !enter | TXX
[21:38] <iamurfuda> I am worried that you can't with xfs
[21:38] <Scunizi> |fn|Grim: that's two different things.. do you have ubuntu installed and you're now trying to install the nvidia driver or are you trying to simply install ubuntu?
[21:39] <tony_> i need a mp3 to M4a AAC conveter for linux
[21:39] <TXX> <_< guntbert eh thanks
[21:39] <tony_> need a conveter for linux
[21:39] <guntbert> TXX: :)
[21:39] <iamurfuda> tony_: search synaptic
[21:39] <|fn|Grim> Scunizi: yeh im just trying to install the nvidia driver
[21:39] <tony_> k
[21:39] <Scunizi> |fn|Grim: so the ubuntu gui shows up ok?
[21:40] <|fn|Grim> Scunizi: i have the nvidia driver on windows 7
[21:40] <recmajkemi> found it nevermind
[21:40] <|fn|Grim> Scunizi: nope
[21:40] <kcj1993> genii, I cant get it to work I just get this: /dev/video0
[21:40] <kcj1993> no wait
[21:40] <kcj1993> VLC is unable to open the MRL 'v4l:///dev/video0'. Check the log for details.
[21:40] <klown> !empathy
[21:41] <genii> kcj1993: Might be a video4linux  versus video4linux version2 issue
[21:41] <IonCannon218> hi
[21:41] <IonCannon218> i'm having problems with the saitek x52 joystick with 9.10
[21:41] <Scunizi> |fn|Grim: then something happened on install.. because the stock generic drivers should allow you to get to the gui.. if you're at a terminal prompt you might have to "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" to get the gui working.. after that do all the updates.. then look in System>Admin>Hardware Drivers and you should see an Nvidia driver there to activate..
[21:41] <recmajkemi> is gvfs-metadata safe to delete?
[21:41] <kcj1993> genii; Your input can't be opened:
[21:41] <kcj1993> VLC is unable to open the MRL 'v4l2:///dev/video0'. Check the log for details.
[21:41] <recmajkemi> and vhat is ablone folder?
[21:41] <IonCannon218> lsusb shows the joystick, but i dont see js0 in /dev/input
[21:41] <iamurfuda> heh #ubuntu has changed some what since I was last here

[21:44] <kcj1993> genii; any ideas?
[21:44] <Dr_Willis> bcj:  now you may have some other deeper issue.

[21:46] <guntbert> TXX: what is missing?
[21:46] <Scunizi> Ricoshady: on boot you should see the grub menu.. if not you might have to hit ESC to see it.. it will be listed there.
[21:46] <bcj> Dr_Willis: Yes - I've used that before as well, but it doesn't seem to work now.
[21:46] <e01>  i have a dell mini 9  with ubuntu netbook remix 9.10, it have a integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics card, but i don`t know is it available some a good driver for this graphics card as nvidia`s nonfree driver]

[21:47] <Guest6798> hess502: I do not like it.
[21:47] <bcj> Dr_Willis: Ah
[21:47] <genii> kcj1993: I am leaving soon so don't have time to properly devote to it... but I'd suggest finding device:vendor code of your camera, make sure right module is loaded for it, also may be using /dev/video1 and not /dev/video0, other things of this sort
[21:47] <gnurph>  
[21:47] <Guest6798> hess502: Installing it did not solve the problem.
[21:47] <bcj> Dr_Willis: Well I can't seem to log in using that account anyway.
[21:47] <gnurph> oops.  Sorry about that.
[21:48] <Guest6798> I've a DNS question : I have a connection to the router (I can connect to 192.168.1.1), but I cannot connect to any website. Wget does not work either. Anybody knows what I could do ? Ah, I'm using 9.10.
[21:48] <rauch> Mankind...How can I restart WiFi searching without reboot system? Console commands?
[21:48] <IonCannon218> ok so should i go downgrade to 9.04 or fuck with the kernel to get my joystick to work
[21:49] <effendi> anyone know of a good replacement for compiz?
[21:49] <IonCannon218> no
[21:49] <pawel_121_> effendi Kwin, but it's in Kubuntu
[21:49] <effendi> thank you
[21:49] <jellow> rauch: sudo ifconfig "interface" down then sudo ifconfigh "interface" up
[21:49] <Dr_Willis> effendi:  that 'metisse' (spelling) fancy window manager is a neat alternative.
[21:50] <pawel_121_> effendi no problem :)
[21:50] <Dr_Willis> mettisse? i forget the spelling
[21:50] <effendi> thanks to you too, dr_willis
[21:50] <rauch> jellow : thanks a lot.
[21:50] <IonCannon218> anyone know anything about saitek x52 joysticks not working on 9.10?
[21:51] <boing> need help with configuring nvidia card
[21:51] <IonCannon218> boing: try #nvidia
[21:51] <Dr_Willis> boing:  state the actual issue/problem
[21:51] <boing> fresh install
[21:51] <jellow> rauch: this probally more standard way sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[21:52] <MorphyNOR> jellow: that will restart all nic's
[21:52] <ocTobafust_> meway u here?
[21:53] <boing> Dr_Willis, Is this server support channel?
[21:53] <rauch> jellow: mmmm I think it's more easily..thanks
[21:53] <guntbert> boing: #ubuntu-server
[21:53] <Dr_Willis> boing:   to some degree - yes.  I think theres a server specific channel also.
[21:53]  * Dr_Willis wonders why a server needs nvidia card configuration.....
[21:54] <boing> Dr_Willis, dont wonder I enter the wrong channel
[21:54] <bcj> Dr_Willis: Not everyone runs a dedicated headless server :P
[21:54] <boing> : )
[21:54] <bcj> Dr_Willis: Although, saying that, I do.
[21:54] <Purpley> I try to instal gproftpd and I get this http://pastebin.com/m45eab51b
[21:54] <MorphyNOR> bcj: not everyone uses their gfx cards for gfx :P
[21:55] <bcj> MorphyNOR: True - CUDA is a good reason to have a decent graphics card I guess.
[21:55] <bennina> salve! ho un asus con wubi fresco fresco, non vede la wireless, non si accenda ne con il tasto apposito ne' con fn+f2... idee e consigli?
[21:55] <kingsley_> What should one do if, after installing ubuntu and typing "startx", the "nvidia" module does not exist and one is left at the command line prompt?
[21:56] <bcj> kingsley_: Have a cold beer.
[21:56] <bennina> uh sorry! I posted in the wrong net!
[21:56] <bcj> That's what I'd try first.
[21:57] <Milp> Hmm the sshd is still running and i just cant figure out where, reboot didnt help
[21:57] <TXX> Milp, in cli $ ps aux | grep sshd
[21:57] <TXX> :D
[21:58] <jimkoz> can someone help me with a bug i found in ubuntu 9.10?
[21:58] <meway> ocTobafust_:  you get what you needed?
[21:58] <sttal> kingsley_ : sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185
[21:58] <iceroot> Milp: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd status
[21:58] <guntbert> Milp: lsof -i | grep ssh
[21:58] <iceroot> !bug | jimkoz
[21:58] <meway> ocTobafust_:  also try /join #freenode.net they could help you
[21:58] <TXX> iceroot, can also use sudo service sshd status
[21:58] <Dr_Willis> bcj:  I cant say ive ever had to do much configuring for a console only headed server either. :)
[21:59] <Milp> sorry guys but i cant even access the machine in any direct way
[21:59] <iceroot> TXX: i am on hardy, so dont know the service thing. but thank you
[21:59] <Dr_Willis> kingsley_:  you did a server install? desktop install? or whate exactly?
[21:59] <ocTobafust_> oh Meway thanks I thought I lost u for a while.
[21:59] <Milp> say i just can see the list of processes and send them some commands thats all
[21:59] <ocTobafust_> well now i know how to get into the room and thats a start
[21:59] <wam> aah - i have a completely crapped keyboard layout in a default console (no X). How can I fix this to be "de"? Can't remember the command...
[21:59] <meway> ocTobafust_:  oh you would have I'm not really part of the ubuntu support im in here to solve my dvd problem lol
[21:59] <ocTobafust_> illd join the freenode group as u said too and see how that goes
[21:59] <FnorZ> a simple question: i just upgraded to 9.10 and i now have an overlay over my desktop that show my application menu entries. how to get rid of this?
[22:00] <ocTobafust_> @meway lol
[22:00] <bcj> Dr_Willis: Samba makes me fume sometimes.
[22:00] <jellow> wam: loadkeys de
[22:00] <grawity> wam: Alt-SysRq-R might be worth trying.
[22:00] <ocTobafust_> so whats wrong wit ur dvd
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> bcj:  ive fought with it enough.. and read teh books/docs enough.. i can normal beat it into submission.
[22:00] <grawity> wam: But try jellow's suggestion first, if you can type something.
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> bcj:  i got a XP machine that just refuses to play nicely however.
[22:00] <meway> ocTobafust_:  well i did not have the right codec for vlc media player
[22:01] <meway> ocTobafust_:  sorry i gave you the wrong channel i meant /join #freenode
[22:01] <zippert> im trying to setup a bridge for my guests on a kvm server but i reseve an error message that says that the network not is found
[22:01] <bcj> Dr_Willis: I often find a solution (and stick to it), but I need to do something a little bit different this time.
[22:01] <recmajkemi> is gvfs-metadata folder safe to delete?
[22:01] <wam> jellow: hey, thanks ;)
[22:01] <wam> works
[22:02] <wam> grawity: thanks too
[22:02] <meway> ocTobafust_:  anyway im logging off nice talking to you and welcome to the ubuntu community and freenode too
[22:02] <ocTobafust_> thanks a lot hope to catch u soon
[22:02] <meway> ocTobafust_:  sure thing ;)
[22:05] <Flamekebab> Is there a utility to show which services are running? (so I can choose which I want)
[22:05] <kriss3d> i belive there is in kubuntu yes
[22:06] <Flamekebab> But not in plain ol' Ubuntu?
[22:06] <bcj> Flamekebab: There is the process monitor, or the startup services list - does that help?
[22:06] <Dr_Willis> Flamekebab:  part of the problem will be that many services are now moved to being started by 'Upstart' not the 'Sysv' system. so that is a bit of a bother at this time
[22:06] <Flamekebab> ah
[22:06] <kriss3d> then rightclick the name and select show channel list
[22:06] <Flamekebab> I wanted to check through to see if there's any non-essential stuff that I could kill off
[22:06] <Dr_Willis> Flamekebab:  upstart ran services are defined in /etc/init   the sysv ran ones in /etc/rc2.d
[22:07] <Dr_Willis> Flamekebab:  I doubt if theres any you should be messing with.
[22:07] <LordChaos> Flamekebab, sudo apt-get install chkconfig
[22:07] <Flamekebab> For example, I have no reason to be running Bluetooth services, Dr_Willis
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> Flamekebab:  I doubt if removing it is going to save you much of anything.. it runs.. sees no devices.. and proberly just exits,  or otherwise waits around
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> what if you later install a bluetooth gizmo then forget you disabled it...
[22:08] <Flamekebab> On this laptop, that's not going to happen
[22:08] <Dr_Willis> but do what you want.
[22:09] <Dr_Willis> if its in /etc/init   rename the .conf to .DONTRUN    and there ya go
[22:09] <Flamekebab> This is a particularly specialised task, not my main desktop machine
[22:09] <alcatros> can anybody tell me how i can avoid getting "r300VertexProgUpdateParams:Params exhausted" error when i start Atlantica online in wine with a ATI Radeon X1300 PRO ?
[22:09] <Dr_Willis> I still imagine its a lot of effort for any real gain.
[22:09] <kingsley_> sttal: Thanks. I took a phone call. Is it normal to have to manually install nvidia-glx-185?
[22:09] <karma_police> how much different is 10.04 gonna be than 9.10?
[22:10] <kingsley_> Dr_Willis: Thanks for asking about the nvidia problem. It's a desktop install.
[22:10] <guntbert> !lucid | karma_police
[22:10] <alcatros> nobody an idea for my problem ? i have real issues..
[22:11] <recmajkemi> Is this statement correct?: I am using ubuntu 9.10 it is in gnome enviroment theerefore i cannot install any KDE aplications.
[22:11] <Dr_Willis> karma_police:  most of the fancy new stuff i hear went in 9.10 - Hopefully 10.04 will be a lot of polishing on it.
[22:11] <Dr_Willis> recmajkemi:  false. I run kde apps on gnome all the time
[22:11] <MorphyNOR> recmajkemi: no
[22:11] <Dr_Willis> recmajkemi:  and visa-versa
[22:11] <karma_police> i love 9.10.. i have read the the new gnome is going to be a lot different
[22:11] <Dr_Willis> recmajkemi:  You can occasionally have a few quirky issues when mixing the 2. but normlly things workj fine
[22:12] <kriss3d> i like kde.. but i hate that i cant make a shortcut on the desktop
[22:12] <flootenkerp> Hi, no issues here, just a question. Anyone here know where I can get custom decorations for my desktop cube? I want to personalize it a little.
[22:12] <MorphyNOR> karma_police: please join #ubuntu+1
[22:12] <karma_police> what is that?
[22:12] <LordChaos> Does anybody know if tracker indexes Thunderbird e-mails ?
[22:12] <Dr_Willis> kriss3d:  err.. You can. :) actually that may be a feture i saw in the kde4 beta im testing
[22:12] <recmajkemi> ok thanks guys, im newbie here ... some silly questions still may come
[22:12] <MorphyNOR> karma_police: its for future releases
[22:12] <karma_police> cool
[22:12] <MorphyNOR> recmajkemi: there are no silly questions
[22:12] <Dr_Willis> kriss3d:  get away from teh cluttered desktop Habbit. :)
[22:13] <jellow> kriss3d: Have a look in gnomelook i think they have plugins
[22:13] <MorphyNOR> recmajkemi: btw, a lot of kde apps exist as gnome apps aswell, just ported
[22:13] <MorphyNOR> recmajkemi: and vice versa
[22:13] <Dr_Willis> vers-visa even
[22:13] <MorphyNOR> hehe
[22:13] <alcatros> nobody ideas about ATI driver problems ?
[22:13] <xtjacob> hey everyone, whats the recommended sizes of a / partition and a /home partition?
[22:13] <flootenkerp> Anyone here know where I can get custom decorations for my desktop cube? I want to personalize it a little.
[22:14] <Dr_Willis> xtjacob:  depends on your needs.. my / is 10gb and rarely gets full.. /home as big as you need.
[22:14] <recmajkemi> is gvfs-metadata folder safe to delete?
[22:14] <xtjacob>  flootenkerp: you could try gnome-look.org
[22:14] <kriss3d> Its like you can add a program launcher but thats pretty much just confusing.. its not logic.. whats so wrong about rightclick > new > shortcut ?
[22:14] <flootenkerp> Alright, thanks xtjacob
[22:14] <MorphyNOR> xtjacob: atleast 10gb for / and the rest in /home is my way of doing it
[22:14] <alteregoa> habibi
[22:14] <tobiasz> hi there, I've just installed kubuntu-desktop and in kde there are HUGE fonts that look awful and unreadable, what can I do to fix it? any help?
[22:14] <Dr_Willis> kriss3d:  ones mans confuseing - is anothers logical design/flexable system.
[22:14] <jellow> flootenkerp: http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=102
[22:14] <MorphyNOR> tobiasz: lower your dpi setting
[22:15] <wam> how do I install X and gnome? Is there a good dependency package?
[22:15] <recmajkemi> and what is ablone folder its empty but when i deleted it yesterday i got kernel panic boot erroe
[22:15] <xtjacob> Dr_Willis: it's a 130 gb harddrive
[22:15] <tobiasz> MorphyNOR how do I do so?
[22:15] <MorphyNOR> wam: server install going over to desktop?
[22:15] <tobiasz> MorphyNOR I know nothing about kde it's first time I use it
[22:15] <xtjacob> wam: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop should work
[22:15] <Dr_Willis> xtjacob:  so the logic still applies.. :) /  as big as you need. (ive never needed more then `10gb) rest for home
[22:15] <wam> MorphyNOR: more like minimal install -> desktop ;)
[22:15] <MorphyNOR> tobiasz: I dont know exactly, sorry
[22:15] <Dr_Willis> xtjacob:  and a swap partition
[22:15] <wam> xtjacob: thanks
[22:15] <kingsley_> How risky is it to RE-install ubuntu in a dual boot configuration with Windows 7?
[22:16] <Dr_Willis> kingsley_:  you worried about it hurting windows?
[22:16] <Dr_Willis> kingsley_:  or what exactly?
[22:16] <tobiasz> MorphyNOR do you know how do I change kdm to gdm ?
[22:16] <karma_police> kingsley install win7 first
[22:16] <Dr_Willis> I would think reinstalling would be safer then inszrtalliong.. since the drives are allready partioned.
[22:16] <klong> hey guys,   i just installed windows xp on the empty space at the end of my drive, which of course wrote over grub and I got "disk error" on boot. I restored grub from the ubuntu livecd and ubuntu boots againt thank god, but I cannot get XP to boot . I think it is because XP installed itself into a logical partition for some reason, sda5 which is part of extended partition sda3.  can grub boot this?
[22:16] <LordChaos> Anybody using the tracker indexer ?
[22:16] <sttal> the risk is none if in installer you set it to install to the partition you already have to ubuntu
[22:16] <LordChaos> Or beagle ?
[22:17] <xtjacob> Dr_Willis: incase my / partition gets full what do i do to clear up space?
[22:17] <kingsley_> Dr_Willis: Yes, I'm worried about hurting Windows. Naturally I'd like to avoid any other problem too.
[22:17] <Dr_Willis> xtjacob:  you could move /var or /tmp to another filesystem if you wanted
[22:17] <tobiasz> hi there, I've just installed kubuntu-desktop and in kde there are HUGE fonts that look awful and unreadable, what can I do to fix it? any help?
[22:17] <Dr_Willis> tobiasz:  kde has font settings you could twiddle with
[22:18] <guntbert> tobiasz: try in #kubuntu too
[22:18] <tobiasz> Dr_Willis I never ever used kde before
[22:18] <Dr_Willis> tobiasz:  time to explore the settings menus/icon then I guess.
[22:18] <kazak> ))
[22:18] <Dr_Willis> Been testing out kde4 beta here. Its got some neat new features.
[22:19] <MorphyNOR> Dr_Willis: like?
[22:19] <vfen> ye
[22:20] <S0LIDUS> Where is patch on Jaunty?
[22:20] <guntbert> MorphyNOR: not here please
[22:20] <Dr_Willis> MorphyNOR:  a way to toggle the classic 'desktop is a directory' vs 'everything is a plasmid'  desktop. :)
[22:20] <sttal> sttal: ola
[22:20] <Dr_Willis> MorphyNOR:  check the kde beta forums - :)
[22:20] <alcatros> guys .. how can i get the binary blob ATI driver back in Ubuntu 9.10 ?
[22:20] <MorphyNOR> okay
[22:20] <Ricoshady> i dont understand this, I've install ubuntu twice, and both times typed in the root password carefully, and everytime I try and login it says incorrect
[22:20] <tobiasz> Dr_Willis what version of kde do I install from repos within kubuntu-desktop package?
[22:20] <Dr_Willis> Ricoshady:  what root password? theres only the initial user and their password by default..
[22:21] <Ricoshady> it asked me for the root password during install
[22:21] <Dr_Willis> tobiasz:  i just install the kubuntu-desktop package. and select KDE at the login screen.
[22:21] <MorphyNOR> Ricoshady: you dont use root to login
[22:21] <karma_police> root has no pw
[22:21] <edbian> I just bought a domain and I'm going to set up my own email server. Is it especially difficult?  I'm hoping that it is equally difficult as is setting up a webserver
[22:21] <LordChaos> Ricoshady, you normally don't type in a root passwd during setup
[22:21] <Dr_Willis> Ricoshady:  server install? or desktop? or what exactly?
[22:21] <kingsley_> Is it possible to re-install ubuntu over a failed dual boot install?
[22:21] <Ricoshady> server intall
[22:21] <karma_police> !password
[22:21] <sttal> Ricoshady: if you are using su you first have to set the root password with sudo passwd
[22:21] <Dr_Willis> Server install asks for a root password? Never noticed that.
[22:21] <tobiasz> Dr_Willis I just wanted you to tell me what version of kde does kubuntu-desktop contain :P
[22:21] <poningru> what is the dbus-viewer called now a days?
[22:21] <sttal> instead of su use sudo
[22:22] <guntbert> !noroot | sttal
[22:22] <MorphyNOR> kingsley_: yes, just remember to format the partitions you've already made instead of using the normal option of installing
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> tobiasz:  no idea whats the default.
[22:22] <kriss3d> uhmm is there a way to reset my soundcard ?? after playing wow.. it chops up the sound completely in youtube.
[22:22] <jellow> Ricoshady: You can manualy edit /etc/shadow if uou have access to the box
[22:22] <tobiasz> Dr_Willis it think it's 4 or 4.3
[22:22] <kingsley_> MorphyNOR: Can you elaborate?
[22:22] <Ricoshady> jellow, I created a normal user, but I shouldnt have access right?
[22:22] <guntbert> jellow: not recommended
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> tobiasz:  its 4.?? :)
[22:22] <Ziber> !sshkeys
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> Ricoshady:  your initial user should have sudo rights.
[22:23] <MorphyNOR> kingsley_: during install, when you're given the option on how to install the system, dont choose automatic
[22:23] <Ziber> !authorized_keys
[22:23] <alcatros> hey guys anybody knows how i can install the old ATI driver ..??
[22:23] <tobiasz> Dr_Willis I think so I saw fedora 12 with kde 4.3 and it looks exacly the same by default :)
[22:23] <Ziber> !yourmom
[22:23] <guntbert> !askthebot | Ziber
[22:23] <csmith1994> can someone help me find a download link for the package dkms_2.1.0.1-0ubuntu1_all.deb
[22:23] <tobiasz> Dr_Willis so it might be 4.3
[22:23] <iceroot> !info dkms
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> tobiasz:  ask in #kubuntu to be sure
[22:23] <Kirsch> hey all, i have a ubuntu 8.04 box running off an IDE drive and i'm trying to connect another drive via SATA and its not finding the drive. my lspci says "VT6420 SATA RAID Controller (rev 80)" does this mean that lsmod "sata_via               12548  0" is loading the driver?
[22:23] <guntbert> csmith1994: dkms is in the repos
[22:24] <karma_police> i've never tried kde.. i've always been happy with gnome so i never tried it
[22:24] <tobiasz> Dr_Willis ok :)
[22:24] <iceroot> csmith1994: sudo apt-get install dkms
[22:24] <Kirsch> i am really frustrated and i think i've hit a dead end and am about to install windows on it to TEST that it does in fact work
[22:24] <Ricoshady> IC, so should root not be able to login?
[22:24] <Milp> what is [klogd] DEFUNCT?
[22:24] <chalcedony> i need to print .jpeg's what applications will do that?
[22:24] <csmith1994> guntbert: I dont have internet access im on windows transferring packages via my usb stick to iceroot too
[22:24] <Dr_Willis> Ricoshady:  not directly - i dont think so.. Unless server installs are different.
[22:24] <Kirsch> if anyone has anything please help, thanks! (i know what i'm doing, and my mobo manufactorer [altho a crappy one]) doesn't support linux at all.
[22:24] <chalcedony> Dr_Willis, nice to see you :))
[22:25] <James_-_> While partitioning a disk during the installation of Ubuntu Server and setting the mount point if you pick "manual enter" and the pick something like /localdata  will it create the dir /localdata and mount it on start up?
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> Ricoshady:  for a desktop install.. root can NOT directly login
[22:25] <MorphyNOR> csmith1994: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=dkms
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> chalcedony:  Whatever it was.. i dident do it! :)
[22:25] <Ricoshady> why not?
[22:25] <chalcedony> i need to print .jpeg's what applications will do that?
[22:25] <vfen> is it #kubuntu@irc.kubuntu.com ?
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> Ricoshady:  because  direct logging in as root i disabled. use 'sudo' as needed
[22:25] <ozzloy> http://pastebin.com/d117b1d1 somehow the samba shares on lines 14,15 are getting unmounted.  would `mount -a -t cifs` remount them?
[22:26] <sttal> Ricoshady: if you do sudo command_that_you_want
[22:26] <Fallout_Emanuel> kirsch: What does 'fdisk -l' say
[22:26] <Dr_Willis> ozzloy:  try just 'sudo mount -a' ?
[22:26] <Ricoshady> Dr_Willis, I think my system was disabled, but when I changed the root password somehow I enabled it, now how do I disable it again?
[22:26] <sttal> Ricoshady: just put you user pass
[22:26] <karma_police> gnome image veiwer should be able to print .jpg
[22:26] <Dr_Willis> Ricoshady:  not sure.
[22:26] <Dr_Willis> Well i gotta run. bye
[22:26] <ozzloy> Dr_Willis, but i don't want to remount _everything_
[22:26] <ozzloy> Dr_Willis, just the cifs mounts
[22:26] <Kirsch> Fallout_Emanuel: only 3 drives, it doesn't list it
[22:26] <Dr_Willis> ozzloy:  mount them indivially i dont think -a -t cifs is valid... try it and see i guess
[22:26] <Kirsch> Fallout_Emanuel: (there are 4 total, 3 IDE 1 SATA)
[22:27] <karma_police> is there a way to set up to where my secondary hdd mounts at startup without a pw?
[22:27] <ozzloy> Dr_Willis, this isn't a "try it and see" system T_T
[22:27] <rip> how come the latest Mozilla Thunderbird in 'main' is 2.x and not 3.x?
[22:27] <chalcedony> karma_police, is there a command line command to open a .jpeg in gnome image viewer ?
[22:27] <karma_police> i'm not sure about command line
[22:27] <kriss3d> chalcedony:  try man <name of viewer> to see if you can open it with a switch to open a pic
[22:27] <ozzloy> Dr_Willis, oh, do you mean mount them with `mount -t cifs //192.bla /mnt/streamer`?
[22:27] <MorphyNOR> karma_police: try appname filename.jpg
[22:28] <kingsley_> MorphyNOR: Do you happen to know if one should not choose the automatic install for computers with nvidia video cards?
[22:28] <MorphyNOR> kingsley_: should make no difference
[22:28] <Kirsch> Fallout_Emanuel: the chipset is a VT6420, is it possible to check that the sata_via module is in fact targeted toward that specific chipset?
[22:28] <MorphyNOR> kingsley_: however, a automatic install might overwrite your other OS
[22:28] <jellow> Ricoshady: to disable root account sudo usermod -p '!' root
[22:28] <alcatros> hey guys please tell me , is there a way to install he binary blob driver for ATI ? on Ubuntu 9.10 ? ...
[22:28] <ozzloy> guess i could do that.  i'm more confident in that notation.  i'd rather make it use the fstab file if possible
[22:28] <alcatros> It says there is none, because some interfaces changed...
[22:29] <karma_police> i'm wanting to have my secondary hdd mount automatically at startup... right now it prompts a pw when i try to mount it
[22:29] <Kirsch> Fallout_Emanuel: the truth of the matter is, i'm not sure who/what to blame (mobo, ubuntu, etc) my mobo doesn't even post SATA info at all, i'd have to try windows and use their raid disk (for XP only)
[22:29] <Milp> does anyone know what [klogd] <defunct> is?
[22:29] <^A^kira> hello, i have rtl8185 wireless card.

[22:30] <MorphyNOR> dooglus_: switch window manager before logging in
[22:30] <dooglus_> MorphyNOR: is that even possible?
[22:30] <dooglus_> MorphyNOR: before I log in I can't edit anything
[22:30] <MorphyNOR> dooglus_: you are logging in via a gfx UI right?
[22:31] <Milp> does anyone know what [klogd] <defunct> is?  - please someone? :)
[22:31] <dooglus_> MorphyNOR: I can pick which desktop environment I want, and the keyboard layout
[22:31] <dooglus_> MorphyNOR: yeah - the new gdm-alike thing
[22:31] <MorphyNOR> yes
[22:31] <MorphyNOR> that does nothing?
[22:31] <Ricoshady> anyone know how to disable root access and only allow sudo?
[22:31] <dooglus_> MorphyNOR: it logs me in
[22:31] <karma_police> is there a code where it will mount it automatically at every startup?
[22:31] <^A^kira> ok, another question... any guide how to share my laptops connection connected via wifi to desktop via cable?
[22:31] <dooglus_> Ricoshady: sudo passwd -l

[22:31] <^A^kira> !fstab | karma_police
[22:31] <MorphyNOR> ...
[22:32] <dooglus_> MorphyNOR: there's no separate entries for 'GNOME' and 'Remix'
[22:32] <MorphyNOR> dooglus_: okay, then I dont know, sorry
[22:32] <jellow> Ricoshady:"sudo usermod -p '!' root"  does this not work?
[22:35] <alcatros> i swap back to windows.. -.- terrible ATI driver crap
[22:36] <_[Ex0r]> hmm, so I have a question regarding ubuntu server. Is it a good solution for a server platform ?
[22:36] <rip> how come the latest Mozilla Thunderbird in 'main' is 2.x and not 3.x?
[22:36] <guntbert> alcatros: I can understand that you are angry - but please accept that nobody here has anything to do with that - its simply the ATI people not giving support
[22:37] <_[Ex0r]> looking for a reliable and stable solution for a local server I want to setup
[22:37] <_[Ex0r]> people have suggested ubuntu, people have suggested fedora
[22:37] <guntbert> !ot | _[Ex0r]
[22:38] <_[Ex0r]> oh, sorry
[22:38] <alcatros> guntbert i do understand that and iam actually very addicted to linux but if i cant play the game i want the day doesnt pass on... and if i cant get that old ati binary blob onto my machine which would understand the requested graphical extension (its complaining about vertex params which dont work) than i have 0 choice...
[22:39] <meowsus> I just set up an Ubuntu 9.1 box on a Windows Network. Where should i start to learn how to get my machine to access share directories around the Windows Network, and make my computer discoverable/sharable as well?
[22:39] <guntbert> alcatros: :)
[22:39] <guntbert> meowsus: look for samba
[22:39] <kriss3d> meowsus:  cant remember about alternatives.. but samba
[22:39] <kriss3d> yeah hehe
[22:39] <vfen> does kde got synaptic?
[22:39] <kriss3d> vfen:  nope.. kpackagekit
[22:39] <kriss3d> same thing basicly
[22:40] <kriss3d> from there you can install synaptic if you want
[22:40] <alcatros> guntbert iam trapped with the new open sourcr driver ;-) currently... and i cant .. free myself.. from it... and use the old one..
[22:40] <meowsus> guntbert, okay. I'm guessing i need the server AND browser?
[22:40] <vfen> kriss3d, how
[22:40] <guntbert> !samba | meowsus
[22:40] <macius> hey im using ubuntu 9.10, and im unable to get alien arena to launch it carshes right after attempting to launch although i doubt its a problem with my video driver, since im using the one from nvidia website although i tried it on the prioretary ones offered by ubuntu with no success
[22:40] <kriss3d> open up kpackagekit and type in synaptic
[22:41] <macius> anyone have any idea? :S lol
[22:41] <Chrystallic> My ubuntu suddenly couldn't find the initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic file, and as a result it won't boot..(I'm currently using vista, and it's killing me slowly...) I use linux ubuntu 9.04. I can find the file easily, but it won't recognize it... can anyone give me a hint to fix it...... I have no idea what happened. I turned the computer off yesterday, and when I tried to boot it today it was dead, or rather I got a screen filled with al
[22:41] <Chrystallic> but the sentence that caught my attention was "The file initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic cannot be found, now rebooting system"
[22:41] <OerHeks> macius disable screen effects ?
[22:41] <meowsus> guntbert, thanks man!
[22:42] <macius> 0erHeks: yes i just tried that now actually
[22:42] <macius> its terminating with this error report
[22:42] <macius> *** buffer overflow detected ***: /usr/lib/games/alien-arena/crx.sdl terminated
[22:43] <Chrystallic> anyone got a easy solution to the problem I got? Or do I have to reinstall ubuntu?
[22:44] <dtownhero> Chrystallic: It looks like your grub is messed up
[22:44] <_zap_> is there a (k)ubuntu installlation cd/dvd/... that supports loop-aes out of the box?
[22:44] <dtownhero> you may need to manually edit it to point to your correct kernal image
[22:44] <znh> Hello people. I've heard much good about Ubuntu. I'd like to give it a try. Though I wonder if all my hardware will be supported. Any method to check this?
[22:44] <melik> dont you guys just love waking up in the morning to your dad taking a shit on your face..
[22:45] <legend2440> Chrystallic: can you press ESC at boot and get grub menu and choose different kernel to boot?
[22:45] <OerHeks> znh yes, try the live cd
[22:45] <Chrystallic> I've tried em all legend2440 .....
[22:45] <guntbert> !hcl | znh
[22:45] <guntbert> !ot | melik
[22:45] <znh> guntbert, thanks. that's what I need :-)
[22:46] <meowsus> Can any web developers / programmers give me suggestions of which text editor is the best? I've grown very accustomed to eTextEditor (win) and TextMate (mac)
[22:46] <guntbert> znh: thought so :)
[22:46] <Chrystallic> djtownhero: I have tried that before, but nothing happened... though then I used ubuntu 9.10.
[22:46] <guntbert> !best | meowsus
[22:46] <meway> hello
[22:46] <kriss3d> meowsus:  vim if you want it terminal based.. or kate if you like notepad style
[22:46] <itilious> anyone here able to install ubuntu on their apple ibook g3?
[22:47] <Chrystallic> so I guess it's worth a shot.. in teh meantime I can survive using ubuntu on my minicomp XD
[22:47] <kriss3d> itilious:  can you boot the cd from a mac ? my uncle had that problem
[22:47] <znh> guntbert, amazing how well everything is documentated. This prooves what mankind can do with just a bit of intelligence
[22:47] <taylor> hi guys i just installed ubuntu on my computer and im trying to figure out how to open up my flash drive from lexar
[22:47] <taylor> it says that the flash drive needs to be authorized
[22:47] <itilious> kriss3d, no it wont boot :(
[22:47] <meway> I am haveing trouble installing the program wine this happend after i installed some things to get my vlc media player to play dvd's and now it says that some packages cannot be downloaded at the same time
[22:47] <Mr_Bunny_> My Aspire One boots with 2.6.31-14, but not 2.6.31-16. Judging by the boot messages, it's either something to do with the graphics adapter or the DRM module. Where should I start?
[22:48] <itilious> kriss3d, i even burned the cd ON the mac and it still will not boot, any ideas?
[22:48] <kriss3d> itilious:  so you have a cd with the ubuntu but you cant make he mac boot it ?? thats odd.
[22:48] <taylor> meway: try getting it from the installer built into ubuntu and or the update manager
[22:48] <kriss3d> hmm no idea then
[22:48] <meway> taylor thats what i used
[22:48] <Purpley> Is it dangerous to save files in the / folder if its in a folder in there?
[22:48] <taylor> meway: which one?
[22:48] <Chrystallic> itilious: just curious, but why install ubuntu on a mac? ain't OSX /leopard / Snow Leopard faster?    I have no idea about mac OS...
[22:48] <FoCaL> Could someone help me with reinstalling mysql and having that install reput all the files out there?
[22:48] <meway> taylor ubuntu software center
[22:48] <Purpley> Its the only place I can save files reliably so would it be safe or is it dangerous?
[22:49] <itilious> Chrystallic, i've heard everywhere that ubuntu runs a little bit faster than mac osx
[22:49] <taylor> meway: ok then i have no clue sorry
[22:49] <meway> taylor This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Futhermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time
[22:49] <znh> can I install Ubuntu from Windows, without burning a disk? Everything against global warming :-)
[22:49] <itilious> its also only a 500MH/z cpu so every bit of speed helps
[22:49] <Mr_Bunny_> znh: Wubi
[22:49] <Chrystallic> Mr_Bunny_: I would really recommend Jolicloud, or ubuntu/kubuntu NBR  for Aspire One =P I use it myself, and it's worth a shot :D
[22:49] <znh> Mr_Bunny_, wubi..?
[22:49] <shingoki> Empathy doesn't seem to be able to join ##gnome, it doesn't give an error. It also doesn't support /join commands. Does anyone know why it is meant to be better than Pidgin?
[22:49] <sttal> znh: do you have a flash drive
[22:50] <mka> !wubi|znh
[22:50] <znh> sttal, mm. I do
[22:50] <Chrystallic> itilious: ok :) thanks for the reply
[22:50] <kriss3d> itilious:  it seems that its a problem with a new way MAC handles SATA.. basicly its a problem about drivers or somthing
[22:50] <sttal> znh: you can install it from you flash drive if you want
[22:50] <Purpley> Is it dangerous to save files in the root folder if its in a folder in there?
[22:51] <sttal> znh: just search for unetbootin in google
[22:51] <itilious> kriss3d, i thought that was linux's big thing was its amazing ability to handle drivers/support?
[22:51] <znh> sttal, this Wubi installer doesn't require an usb device
[22:51] <znh> sounds better imho
[22:51] <Maletor> Hello, I have AMD 64 (945 3.0GHZ) Ubuntu 9.10. When I run Planet Earth (1080p), the video skips. Upon looking at System Monitor CPU2 maxes out at 100% while the other CPUs are all running very low. What's going on? How do I fix this problem so I can watch awesome Planet Earth content?
[22:51] <paissad-hp> hello,does someone have a little pingouin | tux ascii art image about the same size as icons ... i would like to add it into a banner .. but i just find huge images :s
[22:51] <sttal> znh: yeah but its not quite the same
[22:51] <Chrystallic> though wubi.exe install is somewhat more risky, and ubuntu runs a tiny bit slower, and xp/vista/W7 can see the bootfiles to linux as a virus and delete em(speaking out of personal experience....)
[22:51] <kriss3d> itilious:  it is.. but its a problem if mac wants to use its own ways to run the hardware
[22:51] <znh> sttal, its not?
[22:52] <rip> how come the latest Mozilla Thunderbird in 'main' is still 2.x and not 3.x?
[22:52] <kriss3d> Chrystallic:  i tried wubi at first.. it wasnt a problem really.. only thing is that it uses vistas own bootloader which isnt editable at all
[22:52] <itilious> i just can't believe that MAC is the one that succlessfuly keeps a linux CD from booting and windows machine DOESNT do this, i thought it would be the other way around
[22:52] <Flannel> rip: Because 3.0 came out after 9.10 was already released
[22:52] <taylor> do any of you guys run steam on ubuntu?
[22:52] <sttal> its does the same job but it uses the windows partition. Anyway for normal user its better wubi
[22:53] <sttal> znh: its does the same job but it uses the windows partition. Anyway for normal user its better wubi
[22:53] <Chrystallic> kriss3d: well for me it ended with a sad deinstallation of the wubi and installation of a proper full version of ubuntu 9.04 =P
[22:53] <FoCaL> anyone tell me how to use apt-get to reinstall an application and overwrite previous files and configs?
[22:53] <Purpley> Is it dangerous to save files in the root folder if its in a folder in there?
[22:53] <kriss3d> Chrystallic:  thats what i did in the end too
[22:53] <taylor> do any of you guys run steam on ubuntu?
[22:53] <kriss3d> Purpley:  no..
[22:54] <kriss3d> taylor:  i belive its possibl with cadega.. not sure how wine likes it
[22:54] <rip> Flannel:  So this means I will have to wait till 10.04 to use Thunderbird 3.x ?!?   That's quite a long wait time.  Why is this?
[22:54] <Chrystallic> and after that my cd drive have stopped working.... and it doesn't work on any OS i try >-<

[22:54] <Purpley> OK thanks
[22:54] <taylor> yeah im trying right now in wine and its just loading some ad
[22:54] <sttal> znh: <Chrystallic> kriss3d: well for me it ended with a sad deinstallation of the wubi and installation of a proper full version of ubuntu 9.04 =P
[22:54] <FoCaL> anyone tell me how to use apt-get to reinstall an application and overwrite previous files and configs?
[22:54] <grendal_prime> im tryint to set up a wacom bamboo touch.  it is not working, anyone had any luck with these?
[22:55] <sttal> znh: just one of the problems
[22:55] <meway> taylor you think it could be because i already have it installed lmao
[22:55] <Flannel> rip: The mozilla team may have 3.0 packaged in a PPA, you'll have to ask them.  As far as why it's not updated officially, that's just how Ubuntu works.  The versions of software that are shipped with a release stay with that release (except for updates/bugfixes)
[22:55] <znh> sttal, why was she or he sad?
[22:55] <taylor> meway: yeah probably hahahahaha
[22:55] <meway> taylor lol
[22:55] <taylor> meway: smooth dude
[22:55] <Flannel> rip: #ubuntu-mozillateam
[22:55] <booksbuggy> eh is pulse audio better or is alsa audio better right now?
[22:55] <sttal> znh: beause of wubi bootloader hard to edit
[22:56] <jellow> FoCaL: sudo apt-get install "package" --purge ; this will delete all config files and uninstall it
[22:56] <Chrystallic> kriss3d: you got the wubi install of 9.10(or anyone else) for a friend it won't shut down properly.. he have to forcequit it every time he shut down the computer. is there a fix to that problem now?
[22:56] <znh> well i just want ubuntu
[22:56] <meway> taylor I forgot I had gotten it earlyer
[22:56] <sttal> znh: well you are experienced in creating partitions ??
[22:56] <rip> Flannel: but, if this is the case, how come the latest emacs is 22.x and not 23.x?  emacs 23.1 was released atleast 3 months b4 9.10
[22:56] <kriss3d> Chrystallic:  well id recommend a full install instead.. unless he is a gamer.. then windows is still the way to go..
[22:56] <jellow> FoCaL: I mean sudo apt-get remove "package" --purge sorry
[22:57] <sttal> znh: or can you handle that
[22:57] <Maletor> Hello, I have AMD 64 (945 3.0GHZ) Ubuntu 9.10. When I run Planet Earth (1080p), the video skips.

[22:57] <Chrystallic> yea linux can't beat windows in gaming, though xp is the best gaming OS IMHO
[22:57] <kriss3d> yeah.. though Win7 should be quite good now..
[22:58] <Flannel> rip: Because the versions are frozen around halfway into the cycle (so, a few months ahead of release) so things can be integrated/tested/stabilized/etc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule
[22:58] <kriss3d> im mostly playing Wow so for that Ubuntu is just fine..
[22:58] <booksbuggy> I am having problem with No Sound can someone help me?
[22:58] <Chrystallic> yea, but I've heard it's still not as good as xp, but microXP is even better for gamers, or so I've heards
[22:58] <jellow> booksbuggy: No sound at all ?
[22:58] <booksbuggy> jellow, well the sound cards are not even detected at all
[22:58] <kriss3d> microxp.. hmm ok
[22:59] <David2311> is there a way to connect to Win 7 over the Remote Desktop Client? Win 7 uses, as far as i know, RDP 6.1...
[22:59] <kriss3d> well i get at least 10 fps more in ubuntu than Vista
[22:59] <Chrystallic> you use wine or something else to play wow=
[22:59] <EmileXXI> hello! i m facing a problem, my ubuntu desktop doesn't load, i just see the mouse cursor loading for hours
[23:00] <David2311> no one?
[23:00] <FoCaL> jellow: thank you trying it now, I was using --purge with remove and it had no effect on files
[23:01] <Chrystallic> microxp is just a heavily stripped version of XP, it's alot faster than ubuntu o_O, or the little I've seen of it, it beats linux in boot speed etc.
[23:01] <cpunit> anyone have any idea what the Xorg virtual size stuff is? i can't seem to get 1280x1024 using i810 after updating to 9.10 and the Xorg.0.log keeps discarding the mode because its width is too large for the virtual size
[23:01] <kriss3d> ok ill get that for a gaming pc then
[23:01] <Maletor> Hello, I have AMD 64 (945 3.0GHZ) Ubuntu 9.10. When I run Planet Earth (1080p), the video skips.

[23:02] <booksbuggy> cpunit, what is your video card?
[23:02] <cpunit> booksbuggy: integrated intel 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller (CGC) (rev 02)
[23:02] <jellow> FoCaL: have you tried sudo aptitude purge "package"?
[23:03] <Chrystallic> kriss3d: you should know that well, it's kinda restricted, you should read about it... I don't like it myself. I would recommend getting a full version of W7/XP, and manually strip it down using nLite
[23:03] <kriss3d> hmm well if i get a new stationary computer then ill properbly stick with W7
[23:03] <cpunit> i've manually crafted an xorg.conf, the log shows it's reading the config however it seems to ignore everything i set in it pertaining to resolution, so i started looking into disabling edid but i figured i'd ask around
[23:04] <FoCaL> jellow: no the install --purge seemed to do what I wanted, trying to remove mysql and reinstall as i used rsync with another linux box and it hosed mysql, it wont start after reboots or service mysql start
[23:04] <Chrystallic> me too :) might have ubuntu as a 2nd OS, but I will use W7 at a daily basis =P
[23:04] <booksbuggy> cpunit, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1324239
[23:05] <kriss3d> Chrystallic:   This is my laptop. its ubuntu with sideorder of Backtrack 4..
[23:05] <kriss3d> im off.. nn everyone
[23:05] <Chrystallic> ok, cya later
[23:05] <booksbuggy> cpunit, i read through about 8 posts and this was the one that they send to :CP
[23:05] <cpunit> booksbuggy: yeah i've read that thread
[23:05] <David2311> is there a way to get access to the win 7 dekstop via remote?
[23:06] <booksbuggy> cpunit, you tried to use it?
[23:06] <cpunit> booksbuggy: like i said i made my own config, just like they're telling you to in the posts but, the server seems to now ignore that in favor of intel's autodetect settings
[23:06] <booksbuggy> cpunit, because i think i used it and it worked for me even though i have other kind of video card :CP
[23:06] <Chrystallic> David2311: know this is of little help, but have you tried the windows IRC, or googled for a guide. this is afterall a IRC to ubuntu, and not Win7
[23:06] <booksbuggy> cpunit, oh
[23:07] <cpunit> booksbuggy: thanks tho for at least coming back to me :)
[23:07] <booksbuggy> cpunit, my resolution was screwed up a while ago XCD
[23:08] <Chrystallic> yeye, I'm off cya
[23:08] <SpanDence> Does anybody know if there's support for the fingerprint reader on a Lenovo SL500 in Ubuntu?
[23:08] <David2311> well, what i ment was: How can i access win 7 over remote from ubuntu 9.10....
[23:08] <Chrystallic> sorry I misunderstood....
[23:08] <meway> Is there a software that will allow me to hook my television up as a secound moniter threw s-video?
[23:08] <booksbuggy> cpunit, hmmm maybe i can compare mine to yours and see if it can help?
[23:08] <klong> can grub boot windows XP from an NTFS partition?
[23:08] <jellow> David2311: install vnc server on window 7 and use a vnc client on ubuntu
[23:08] <Chrystallic> though I can't help you on htat matter
[23:08] <Tonren> Can anyone help me with my sound in 9.10?  I'm not getting any sound in YouTube videos, and FireFox seems to "lock" the sound driver so that I can't listen to music without shutting FF down first.
[23:09] <cpunit> booksbuggy: let me pastebin my config
[23:09] <booksbuggy> okey dokey
[23:09] <David2311> jellow, is this the only way?
[23:10] <jellow> David2311: I think windows has its own remote "help" , though i have no idea how to access it on ubuntu
[23:10] <meway> Is there a software that will allow me to hook my television up as a secound moniter?
[23:12] <booksbuggy> cpunit, did you install an outside video card driver?
[23:12] <cpunit> booksbuggy: no just using xorg's intel driver
[23:12] <booksbuggy> oh
[23:12] <booksbuggy> hmmm i used an outside driver XCD
[23:13] <booksbuggy> cpunit, so my config file looks weird XCD
[23:14] <lakotajames> hey guys, is there any way to send a message or anything to a windows computer i'm on the same network with?
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> lakotajames: you can use net send
[23:14] <lilleman> Fresh Ubuntu 64bit install, fails on updating python, hash sum mismatch. Can I report this error somewhere?
[23:14] <lakotajames> ActionParsnip:  how?
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> lakotajames: it will allow you to send messages
[23:14] <cpunit> booksbuggy: http://pastebin.com/d70365670
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> lakotajames: not sure what the linux equiv is, you will need toenale the service and you may get spammed on it
[23:15] <lakotajames> ActionParsnip: what would i google?
[23:16] <booksbuggy> cpunit, just saying you may have to ask and look around to see what kind of driver others uses with your card
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> lakotajames: linux net send client
[23:16] <booksbuggy> cpunit, i had to do that
[23:16] <tobiasz> why everytime after rebooting I've got my volume muted?
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> lakotajames: don't necessarily use just google, there are a great many quality search engines
[23:16] <cpunit> booksbuggy: yeah i understand however, the system worked fine under 9.04, upgrading to 9.10 killed it
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> tobiasz: its a bug, i'll get you the fix
[23:17] <lakotajames> k, thanks guys.
[23:17] <booksbuggy> well mine happened a while after i upgraded to 9.04
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> tobiasz: http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1760429.html

[23:21] <ActionParsnip> tobiasz: you need to comment out that line
[23:21] <lilleman> Ait... now my fresh 64bit 9.10 freezed, USB stopped giving power. Just reinstalled, thought it was me destorying something. Can I track this error somehow so I can report it?
[23:21] <mka> digitalaxis, have you looked at quanta plus and bluefish and screem ?

[23:26] <mka> noelferreira, why do you want to play two sounds at the same time?
[23:27] <noelferreira> mka maybe because i need LOL
[23:28] <chromerium> mka: because he wants to listen to music and watch a youtube video at the same time? Or have notification sounds work?
[23:29] <Tonren> Can anyone help me with my sound in 9.10?  I'm not getting any sound in YouTube videos, and FireFox seems to "lock" the sound driver so that I can't listen to music without shutting FF down first.
[23:32] <parolang`> Is it worth upgrading to 9.10?
[23:33] <CShadowRun> parolang yes?
[23:33] <parolang`> CShadowRun: Are you testing whether that's the right answer? :)
[23:33] <chrisw_> I did ethtool on my dell d630 laptop and it says "1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full"  but the NIC dodes autodetect 1000, it detects 100.  My switch is autodetect only, how can I set the speed on my laptop to 1000?
[23:33] <_zap_>  i would like to install (k)ubuntu on a loop-aes encrypted root. for this it seems i have to modify the installation cd which is fine. however, is it possible to tell the graphical installer to install (k)ubuntu to /dev/loopX instead of some hdd partition?
[23:34] <victor__> hello, I have my clamav antivirus definitions outdated and I can't find a way to update it, can someone help me please?
[23:34] <CShadowRun> parolang nah it's just a silly question, why would ubuntu make a new release if it wasn't considered worth upgrading to?
[23:34] <graviton> victor__: freshclam, i think
[23:34] <victor__> I can't follow the instructions posted on the website
[23:34] <xckpd7> how can I go about installing thunderbird 3?
[23:34] <parolang`> CShadowRun: Just because Canonical thinks it's a good release doesn't make it a good release :)
[23:35] <victor__> just type freshclam as a root?
[23:35] <parolang`> CShadowRun: Or do you always do what Canonical thinks is best for you?
[23:35] <graviton> Yup, should work
[23:35] <graviton> As far as I recall
[23:35] <CShadowRun> parolang` your asking in the official ubuntu channel, the official opinion is yes.
[23:35] <[S|G]> is anyone using ubuntu on an asus 1101ha or some other Poulsbo-based laptop? I'm having problems with my sound system =/
[23:35] <frederick85> hi i just upgraded to karmic koala and i have alot of problems, the first problem i have is the new kernel doesn't load so i'm running the system using the old kernel
[23:35] <victor__> victor@victor-desktop:/$ freshclam
[23:35] <victor__> ERROR: Can't open /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log in append mode (check permissions!).
[23:35] <victor__> ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log).
[23:35] <victor__> it doesn't work
[23:35] <graviton> victor__: As root, i.e. sudo freshclam
[23:36] <parolang`> CShadowRun: Okay...

[23:37] <frederick85> [S|G]: no error messages just stuff i'v never experienced before

[23:38] <[S|G]> frederick85 any chance that they were recorded on /var/log/messages ?

[23:40] <undermink> anyone in here who uses a gameboy in combination with linux??????

[23:40] <undermink> ?
[23:40] <frederick85> [S|G]: no just seems like the kernel that worked only was recorded, also i can't seem to go into update manager, it says the sources list can't be parsed or something
[23:40] <chrisw_> does this look correct for setting the link speed on a NIC, I get and an error:  "sudo ethtool eth0 speed 1000"
[23:41] <[S|G]> frederick85: can you put your sources.list on pastebin?
[23:42] <[S|G]> frederick85: the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:42] <victor__> anybody would know how to update my clam virus definition please?
[23:42] <aliendude5300> Can I install Ubuntu 64-bit right on top of 32-bit or do I have to backup and do a fresh install?
[23:42] <rww> aliendude5300: you have to backup and do a fresh install
[23:43] <h00k> I'm having a problem getting wireless to work on this machine: I have a WNA1000 device which apparently uses the Atheros ar9170 chipset, I am unable to get this recognized by network-manager
[23:43] <h00k> *WNA1000 USB device
[23:43] <aliendude5300> rww, I know 64-bit is faster, but does Flash still have issues?
[23:43] <legend2440> victor__: according to this you have the latest virus db        daily.cvd is up to date (version: 10241
[23:43] <[S|G]> victor__? isnt freshclam working?
[23:43] <frederick85> [S|G]: http://pastebin.com/m4f949078
[23:43] <rww> aliendude5300: I wouldn't know.
[23:44] <rww> aliendude5300: and it's not particularly faster for most users anyway =\
[23:44] <legend2440> victor__: compare it to this  http://www.clamav.net/download/cvd
[23:44] <aliendude5300> ok, I guess I'll try it out then...
[23:44] <victor__> no, I got this: http://pastebin.com/m2aae9cb5
[23:44] <Selveste1_> nevermind it workes when i have connected SPDIF :P
[23:44] <aliendude5300> rww: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/12/ubuntu-64bit-really-is-faster-than.html
[23:45] <legend2440> victor__: you can download it manually and put it where it belongs   http://www.clamav.net/download/cvd
[23:46] <frederick85> [S|G]: when i did my distribution upgrade it didn't automatically clean up, the upgrade stopped and i couldn't get back to it
[23:46] <rww> aliendude5300: The tests Phoronix did in that review do not correspond to normal user workloads.
[23:46] <iKernel> mome rath!!! :D :D :D :D

[23:46] <[S|G]> frederick85: hm.... did you try to finish the upgrade? you could try "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[23:46] <aliendude5300> True, but I do still think it may be worth it...
[23:46] <graviton> !fr | computersuck
[23:47] <[S|G]> frederick85: you might have some broken packages
[23:47] <rww> aliendude5300: Sure, for some things, 64-bit is faster. I do some of those things, in fact. But for end-users, it is not noticibly faster.
[23:47] <frederick85> [S|G]: it says it encounters a section with no package header
[23:48] <[S|G]> frederick85: can you paste the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list on pastebin? or send it to my on a private message?

[23:58] <h00k> NeT_DeMoN: yeah, I found one with the 111 model, and the windows-driver-installer that extracts the 100 model drivers crashes in wine.
[23:58] <h00k> NeT_DeMoN: I'd be happy to try that, but I just can't get the .inf's for the 100 model.
