[00:00] <losha> al_: using checksums is very slow & expensive. Most people just use file size and modification date (which is the default). Check the man page for the gory details. Also, check out various schemes for backup...
[00:00] <mezimezim> hi!
[00:00] <henrique> Hello
[00:00] <mka> !happy
[00:00] <mka> hi henrique
[00:00] <mka> hi mezimezim
[00:00] <al_> losha: right. The GUI of the NAS might be using checksums because its horribly slow. Thats why I want to cron my own rsync
[00:01] <henrique> Hi mka
[00:01] <Scunizi> wow.. bittorrent downloads of ubuntu iso's are *fast*!  Looks like 7 minutes for an entire iso
[00:01] <mezimezim> someone knows about GPS (Garmin 60Cx) : can detect it with Viking   ?
[00:01] <henrique> I'm using ubuntu netb ook remix and I took something off my menu bar. The shutdown button with my name and all and I cant get it back...Does anyoen know how to add that back
[00:02] <henrique> Add to pannel does not show the option
[00:02] <Scunizi> henrique: you're stuck.. you're going to have to leave it on forever! :) (April 1 is just around the corner)
[00:03] <wastrel> that's the user switcher applet iirc
[00:03] <wastrel> henrique: ^^^
[00:03] <henrique> ;) I'm not such a new PC user but nice try
[00:03] <nycz> i have 4 gb ram and 1 gb vram, will the os use it all if i install a 32bit version?
[00:03] <Scunizi> henrique: can you right mouse click the area and "Add" ??
[00:03] <henrique> thankyou wastrel let me try that
[00:03] <henrique> yes I can Scunizi
[00:04] <epinky> nycz: yep, just make sure you use kernel-pae
[00:04] <philabole> can any one help me figure out my ubuntu 9.04 install
[00:04] <nycz> epinky: kernel-pae? :s
[00:04] <Scunizi> philabole: you gotta be more specific..
[00:05] <riverbird> Dr_Willis,  still here?  i seem to be stuck in a loop getting packages ..
[00:05] <philabole> can anyone help me with ubuntu 9.04, i got some probs
[00:05] <blackest_knight> hmm i just noticed happy new year
[00:05] <mister_roboto> al_: i'm actually curious to know if you can get that scheme to work using only the mod time / size checks. i expect copying the files over manually will mess up the mod time check
[00:05] <philabole> hello
[00:05] <Scunizi> philabole: can you be more specific?
[00:06] <blackest_knight> yes but it helps to know what the probs are
[00:06] <henrique> ok my name is back up there but not the little button with the different options for shutdown, restart, logout and hybernate, etc
[00:06] <philabole> sorry first i cn't connect to the net
[00:06] <Scunizi> henrique: click your name and see if there's a drop down menu
[00:06] <philabole> second i can't add new programs
[00:06] <al_> mister_roboto: youd know better than me! I am no CLI expert. Not even a newbie!!
[00:06] <henrique> no Scunizi single user
[00:07] <epinky> nycz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension , it should be called 2.6.31-16-generic-pae‎  or something like that
[00:07] <drunkncrew> philabole: are you connecting to the net via wifi or ethernet?
[00:07] <Scunizi> henrique: then when you right mouse click and choose "add".. look for a different appelate .. maybe something called user switcher?
[00:08] <bazhang> nycz, just install linux-generic-pae ; the rest will be pulled in
[00:08] <philabole> drunkncrew: dsl
[00:08] <blackest_knight> phiabole 2nd is dependent on fist
[00:08] <nycz> epinky, bazhang: thanks, will do :)
[00:08] <henrique> Scunizi: thats the one I used to show my name but thats all it shows. not the different buttons.
[00:08] <Scunizi> pppoe? for dsl
[00:08] <blackest_knight> first even
[00:09] <Scunizi> henrique: keep looking a different one has to be there someplace
[00:09] <henrique> Scunizi: Must be something custom for netbook remix.
[00:09] <henrique> maybe a command line
[00:09] <blackest_knight> philabole:  how are you connected to your dsl connection wired or wireless
[00:09] <Scunizi> henrique: maybe one called "shutdown"?
[00:09] <philabole> blackest_Knight: wired
[00:10] <henrique> that only puts the shutdown button. I guess it can work for now but I'll try to figure the other one later
[00:10] <Scunizi> henrique: I just reformatted my usb key that was setup to boot to unr otherwise I'd boot on my laptop and look as well.
[00:10] <micz> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[00:10] <henrique> Scunizi: thank you for your help I'll do some external search on google or ask in the forums
[00:10] <blackest_knight> philabole:  do you know what chipset your ethernet card has
[00:11] <Pelo> anyone know how to "regenerate" the locate command, it still shows me entries from before I deleted them
[00:11] <Scunizi> henrique: good luck.. it's out there that's for sure.
[00:11]  * iolo bebendo Buxudinha . . .
[00:11] <Scunizi> Pelo: sudo updatedb
[00:11] <iceroot> Pelo: sudo updatedb
[00:11] <Pelo> thank you
[00:11] <philabole> blackest_knight: not really i just built this thing and....
[00:11] <Scunizi> Pelo: 'bout time I was able to help you out!  usually it's the other way around
[00:11] <henrique> Scunizi: thats for sure. I can't be the first jack ass to remove that for no reason whatsoever
[00:11] <david_> can i convert a .tar.bz2 into a .deb?
[00:12] <philabole> blackest_knight: argh.....
[00:12] <Scunizi> henrique: we learn better that way ;)
[00:12] <henrique> true
[00:12] <Pelo> Scunizi, I havenT' been around much in the past couple of years,  nice to know I made an impression ;-)
[00:12] <henrique> good night all
[00:12] <henrique> happy new year
[00:12] <iceroot> david_: not that easy as you think but yes of course you can
[00:12] <david_> ok, can you explain how ;)
[00:12] <blackest_knight> philabole:  generally wired connections tend to just work
[00:13] <wastrel> pppoe
[00:13] <nycz> hm, i'm unsure about swap space... as i said earlier i've got 4gb ram and 1gb vram, should i have a swap partition and if so, how big?
[00:13] <mezimezim> I have installed gpsbabel & viking, but I  am not able to get any info out/in of my GPS, any expertise in the area?
[00:13] <philabole> blackest_knight: yeah i've been using ubuntu for over a year and it always has just worked
[00:13] <Pelo> Scunizi, you'll probably be able to help me more in the near future, i'm dabbling in CLI , first time I 've done that much of it , installed a media center on an old comp,  too old for a gui
[00:13] <iceroot> david_: just read something about what a deb is and how it works, then you have to manyally build the deb from the tar.bz2
[00:13] <type_t> why do you need it as a .deb ??
[00:13] <iceroot> david_: there is no converter
[00:14] <david_> oh, ol
[00:14] <david_> ok*
[00:14] <Scunizi> Pelo: I will when I can for sure
[00:14] <david_> thanks!
[00:14] <philabole> blackest_knight: with a new motherboard, do i need some drivers or something
[00:14] <Pelo> Scunizi, iceroot thanks a lot that seems to have done it , now to see if the app works properly
[00:14] <type_t> the fact that is .deb means it is installed by dpkg and runns a installer made for that package.
[00:14] <iceroot> david_: read the manpage about dh_make
[00:15]  * Scunizi is making a live usb of kubuntu 9.10
[00:15] <blackest_knight> philabole:  you need to find what chip it is and google it
[00:15] <david_> ok
[00:15] <type_t> you can force install and as long as you dont runn into conflicts . its ok.
[00:15] <Scunizi> Pelo: crunchbang might have been perfect for that old machine
[00:15] <mezimezim> here is what I get when I do a dmesg right after plugging http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7e99838e
[00:15] <philabole> darkest_knight: ok
[00:15] <nycz> with 4gb of ram, should i have a swap partition?
[00:16] <bastid_raZor> nycz: if you plan on hibernating or suspending
[00:16] <blackest_knight> philabole:  did it work on the live cd ?
[00:16] <Dr_Willis> nycz:  I always do at least 512mb of swap partition. just in 'case' :)
[00:16] <nycz> bastid_raZor: not really, i have it on when i'm awake and off when i'm sleeping or away
[00:17] <Scunizi> mezimezim: it's mounted at uhci_hcd
[00:17] <david_> iceroot: I don't seem to have "dh_make" when I try to read the manual it tells me to install it w/ apt-get but then it tells me that the package doesn't exist
[00:17] <philabole> darkest_knight: you know i didn't check, i just installed it
[00:17] <nycz> Dr_Willis: okay
[00:17] <bastid_raZor> nycz: swap is not required but highly recommended.. i agree with Dr_Willis .. just in case
[00:17] <Dr_Willis> nycz:  if nothing else.. ive seen live cd's use swap :) which can come in handy
[00:17] <micz> later all happy new year
[00:17] <philabole> blackest_knight: sorry bout the name thing
[00:17] <mezimezim> Scunizi: ok, where do I find the data?
[00:18] <blackest_knight> philabole:  it might be worth googling the motherboard and linux and see what comes up, pain but sometimes you get issues
[00:18] <micz> bbl
[00:18] <nycz> bastid_raZor, Dr_Willis: ah, atm i have 4gb... maybe a bit too much then
[00:18] <philabole> blackest_knight: thanks i'll do that
[00:18] <ams> #list
[00:18] <Dr_Willis> nycz:  if you want to use hibernate/suspend - you want 4gb of swap then I think
[00:18] <Dr_Willis> nycz:  i never use Hibernate/suspend :)
[00:18] <bastid_raZor> nycz: if you have it already made then leave it be..
[00:19] <nycz> Dr_Willis: me neither
[00:19] <nycz> bastid_raZor: i'm just about to reinstall :)
[00:19] <bastid_raZor> !hardware | philabole you can look here for your hardware compatibility
[00:19] <type_t> dh_make is debian utils
[00:19] <blackest_knight> philabole:  if you get really stuck you can pick up network cards very cheaply or even go for wifi but its unusual to have one that doesnt work at all
[00:19] <blackest_knight> what does ifconfig say ?
[00:19] <bastid_raZor> nycz: your choice then.j good luck
[00:19] <Scunizi> mezimezim: I'm not sure what the usb device is.. is it a gps device? and if so is there an app that is suppose to marry to it?
[00:20] <nycz> thanks :)
[00:20]  * Pelo mutters about doing nasty things to python programmers who can't follow standards 
[00:20] <philabole> blackest_knight: thank you sir
[00:20] <blackest_knight> sorry iwconfig
[00:20]  * Dr_Willis thought python was written so you had to follow standards...
[00:20] <Dr_Willis> :)
[00:20] <mezimezim> yes, it's a Garmin GPS, I have installed GPSBABEL and Viking, 2 programs supposed to communicate with Garmin GPS, but I can't get the data out of it...
[00:21] <Dr_Willis> or was it just you had to follow formating standards
[00:21] <blackest_knight> no worries its a good year nearly died twice in 2009 :)
[00:21] <Pelo> Dr_Willis, maybe the guy followed python standards but when you write a freaking weather applet it would be nice to follow the naming conventions that everyone else is following for naming your icons
[00:21] <Scunizi> mezimezim: ok.. in gpsbabel or viking if there is a setup or properties you have to tell it the mount point of the gps device so the program(s) will know where to look for the data.
[00:22] <mezimezim> scunizi: so, it the device is mounted, does it mean I should be able to see the data in it from nautilus and/or the terminal?
[00:22] <giuseppe_> hallo wie gehe in ubuntu.de
[00:23] <iceroot> david_: debhelper is the package
[00:23] <iceroot> david_: dh stands for debhelper
[00:24] <Scunizi> mezimezim: if the usb device *is* the gps then probably not unless the gps will also act as a mass storage device which is doutfull..but if you're looking for the device to send data to the programs it's typically in a stream of some sort.. the program will have to know where to look and then interpret the stream.. you might also look at the openstreet(s) app.... if there is one.
[00:25] <iceroot> david_: and for building the package its ok to use  dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot instead of pbuilder with chroot
[00:25] <Scunizi> guiscard: type /j #ubuntu-de
[00:26] <Scunizi> giuseppe_: type /j #ubuntu-de
[00:26] <Scunizi> sorry guiscard .. wrong nick
[00:27] <tmcc> happy new year ladies
[00:27] <gl1tch3r> hi there
[00:27] <baz> whats the best way to amass power using ubuntu?
[00:27] <mezimezim> scunizi: the viking program asks me whether the GPS is /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1 or /dev/USB0 or /devUSB1
[00:27] <david_> iceroot: ty :)
[00:27] <iceroot> david_: np
[00:27] <gl1tch3r> hey ppl  anyone has used mondo rescue or something similar?
[00:27] <mezimezim> there, I don't know what to put in, I've tried them all without success
[00:28] <mister_roboto> mezimezim: i use garmintools to read my gps watch (forerunner 305)
[00:28] <mister_roboto> mezimezim: it works very well on this watch
[00:29] <mezimezim> mister_roboto: it seems to be made especially for your device :  http://code.google.com/p/garmintools/
[00:29] <tmcc> did somone know a handy texteditor like app that outputs my changes in a file as a comm)?and to use it in a scrip ( like sed awk with gui
[00:30] <Sylvester_Ink> Hey, I have a quick question for a noob
[00:30] <mister_roboto> mezimezim: he says he tried to implement all garmin's protocols though so it might work :)
[00:30] <gl1tch3r> im wondering if I could backup my wubi install with mondo and then restoring it as a full install?
[00:30] <Sylvester_Ink> Buddy of mine is running Ubuntu and he got a new monitor.  It's not set up for the correct resolution
[00:31] <Sylvester_Ink> What's the best way to set the resolution for a higher setting
[00:32] <Dr_Willis> Sylvester_Ink:  dvi or vga connection? and what video card?
[00:32] <jtaji> Sylvester_Ink: did you try System > Prefs > Display ?
[00:32] <riverbird> i seem to be stuck in a package dependency loop .. installing tomboy1.0.1 into hardy .. any help or info??
[00:33] <Ricoshady> so whats the best way to mange packages?
[00:33] <Sylvester_Ink> oh wait.  Sorry Dr_Willis and jtaji, he didn't tell me he had 2 monitors plugged in . . .
[00:33] <Dr_Willis> Ricoshady:  with a packge manager tool. :)
[00:33] <Ricoshady> Dr_Willis, which one I mean
[00:33] <Ricoshady> apt?
[00:33] <Dr_Willis> Sylvester_Ink:  with nvidia cards - i just run the nvidia-settings tool and set them up
[00:34] <Dr_Willis> Ricoshady:  dosent really matter. They all do the same stuff in the background
[00:34] <Ricoshady> ive heard some do a better job with dependencies
[00:34] <type_t> #- thereis #nvidia
[00:35] <Dr_Willis> Ricoshady:  in theory they all shoukld install whatever dependencuies are needed.. or else the packges wouldent work.
[00:35] <Dr_Willis> Ricoshady:  some may be a little smarter at REMOVEING packages/deps/unneeded deps..
[00:35] <Sylvester_Ink> Dr_Willis: the new monitor uses DVI connection.  It has the same resolution issue with just one monitor plugged in
[00:35] <Sylvester_Ink> (I believe he's using an ATI videocard)
[00:36] <Dr_Willis> Sylvester_Ink:  no idea on ati. Other then to be sure the proper restricted drivers are installed and try the system > prefs > display item.
[00:36] <Dr_Willis> Sylvester_Ink:  and of course use DVI conector if at all possible. :)
[00:36] <Sylvester_Ink> Yeah, I figured as much :D
[00:39] <mezimezim> scunizi & mr_roboto  : I seem to be having some success with gpsbabel
[00:39] <mezimezim> thanks
[00:41] <Sylvester_Ink> Hey Dr_Willis, is it a good idea to mess around with xorg.conf
[00:41] <Dr_Willis> Sylvester_Ink:  when in doubt - make backups.
[00:41] <Sylvester_Ink> Since it's been removed from the latest version of Ubuntu
[00:41] <Dr_Willis> Sylvester_Ink:  ive some machines that dont even have xorg.conf some of my systems I do have a xorg.conf
[00:42] <Dr_Willis> Sylvester_Ink:  nvidia settingsz keep the muilti monitor and other info  in there
[00:42] <Sylvester_Ink> Dr_Willis: Yeah, I use it on my laptop since that's the only way to get the correct screen rez
[00:42] <Sylvester_Ink> I'll probably have him write one up for now
[00:42] <ai9371> is ther any programs for linux that are similar to Dreamweaver?
[00:42] <ai9371> that are free
[00:43] <ai9371> something a little better than bluefish
[00:43] <type_t> wait there is .at boot menu log into single session .. what is that called .. it gives you a reconfiguration option..
[00:43] <riverbird> anyway to change sources in synaptic to pull a specific package from a newer distro?
[00:44] <type_t> not normal boot what is that called ? there is a Xserver reconfiguration option.
[00:44] <Zlobi> Hello and Happy New Year
[00:45] <qt-x> happy new year Zlobi
[00:45] <Sylvester_Ink> Anyway, thanks for the help Dr_Willis.  I'll just go to his place one of these days and set it up myself.
[00:45] <lelius> ciao
[00:46] <riverbird> howto upgrade mono1.2.6 to mono1.9.1 or better?
[00:46] <Zlobi> I am having problem with sound configuration, need to put my sound card OUTPUT in ices2 config file. Problem is that both input and output are listed as hw:0,0, so it captures very low level (mixed?). Please advise, nothing on forums
 boot into repair mode at startup .. there is reconfigure there.
[00:47] <mister_roboto> ai9371: what about http://quanta.kdewebdev.org/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer/ ?
[00:47] <Sylvester_Ink> type_t: what's the command?
[00:48] <Zlobi> Sylvester_Ink: Just select it in GRUB menu
[00:48] <Zlobi> second one probably
[00:48] <type_t> reboot and select at bootsplash second option right above memtest
[00:48] <Sylvester_Ink> sorry, I meant, what's the reconfigure command
[00:48] <Sylvester_Ink> just reconfigure?
[00:48] <riverbird> y'all must be running windows ..
[00:49] <Zlobi> Yes, or at least there was some --help or a blue screen with menus
[00:49] <type_t> its only three options there. continue normal; drop int shell; configure Xserver..
[00:49] <Sylvester_Ink> ah, okay
[00:49] <Sylvester_Ink> thanks
[00:50] <Zlobi> I am having problem with sound configuration, need to put my sound card OUTPUT in ices2 config file. Problem is that both input and output are listed as hw:0,0, so it captures very low level (mixed?). Please advise, nothing on forums. Addition: Running Ubuntu 9.10
[00:50] <mister_roboto> type_t: can you just dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[00:50] <mister_roboto> type_t: and restart x?
[00:50] <Zlobi> with sudo probably...
[00:51] <Zlobi> mister_roboto: In 9.x ubuntu I am afraid Xserver is different
 duno. lets try both and see.
[00:52] <mister_roboto> type_t:  Zlobi   i just used that technique and manually set up the xorg.conf with ubuntu 9.10 on a machine at work
[00:52] <Zlobi> mister_roboto: Fine then. So it is just different grub
[00:54] <mister_roboto> Zlobi: actually i never read up on it in detail about where the config goes now for X. i found it confusing the first time there was no xorg.conf :)
[00:54] <mister_roboto> Zlobi: but it worked
[00:55] <Zlobi> mister_roboto: Yes, commands are the same, which is god, but the guts are different
[00:56] <Zlobi> Well, what about my annoying sound problem? :P
[00:57] <Zlobi> Can I add somehow somewhere smth like hw:0,0,0 and hw:0,0,1 to differ my in and out?
[00:57] <mister_roboto> Zlobi: lol  good luck!
[00:57] <qt-x> I have a problem with the sound card it makes "clack" from 10 in 10 sec

[00:59] <nomnex> difference between Ctrl+Alt+F2 and Running the terminal from the GUI?
[00:59] <mister_roboto> Zlobi: sound on linux has always seemed to be a disaster
[00:59] <Izinucs> nomnex: the first drops you to a tty#2 .. ctrl+alt+F7 takes you back to the gui..
[01:00] <Zlobi> But the server PC doesn't even have 0- 1

[01:02] <Zlobi> Shame if the same in 10.*
[01:02] <Izinucs> nomnex: couldn't tell you for certain.. the actual differences.. between runlevels, TTY's 1-6, terminal emulators etc..
[01:03] <Zlobi> Izinucs: afaicr, it is the privilege level
[01:03] <Zlobi> like sudo is not root
[01:03] <Izinucs> Zlobi: which one? TTY?
[01:04] <Zlobi> Izinucs: Yep, There is a main tty @ Atl+F1
[01:04] <mister_roboto> the diff ttys are nothing more than separate ttys. they are exactly the same priv level
[01:04] <iceroot> mister_roboto: correct
[01:04] <mister_roboto> has nothing to do with runlevels
[01:04] <iceroot> mister_roboto: also correct
[01:04] <nomnex> Izinucs, how do I launch an app from a TTY#n? It fails when I pass sudo gksu gedit (I can only run nano) and if I want to open e.g. Deluge, it fails too. I can do that from the Bash window in Gnome
[01:04] <iceroot> nomnex: sudo gksu is wrong

[01:05] <Izinucs> nomnex: you might not be able to run a gui app from TTY.. never tried.. if it works then it will automatically switch you to TTY7
[01:06] <trism> goose: screen -d -m
[01:06] <Ricoshady> can I get the version number from apt-cache search ?
[01:06] <Ricoshady> of a particular package?
[01:06] <iceroot> Ricoshady: apt-cache show  or apt-cache policy
[01:06] <Izinucs> Zlobi: kinda interesting doing this in a live usb of kubuntu 64 bit
[01:06] <micz> ah well anyhows happy new year n goodnite
[01:06] <goose> trism: doesn't seem to work :/
[01:07] <goose> oh nevermind
[01:07] <goose> irssi wasn't installed
[01:08] <xtjacob> does anyone know the difference between AMD-V, and AMD-V/RVI?
[01:08] <Izinucs> Zlobi: thanks for the link.. My ideas were along those lines.
[01:09] <blackest_knight> Sylvester_Ink: you might find with two monitors you have to put them vertical ( default workspace is 2048 x 2048)
[01:09] <digitalaxis> xtjacob, RVI stands for "Rapid Virtualization Indexing"
[01:09] <nomnex> Izinucs, Gtk-WARNING ** cannot display when I try to open an application from TTY. How can I manage the system and run the applications using only the command?
[01:10]  * Pelo mutters grumbles and curses
[01:10] <bastid_raZor> nomnex: TTY is not intended to run GUI apps. only command line applications
[01:10] <Izinucs> nomnex: I did that for a while.. you have to learn a totally different set of programs that will run in the TTy
[01:10] <Sylvester_Ink> blackest_knight: so you can't do them side by side?
[01:10] <Izinucs> nomnex: twinkle for IM, mutt for email, eliinks for internet browsing etc.
[01:10] <Pelo> nommthat's because you are trying to open a gui app using a console mode you need a consol app to do that same job , what are you trying to do ?
[01:10] <nomnex> Izinucs, like wim?
[01:11] <Pelo> nomnex, try nano, easier
[01:11] <Izinucs> nomnex: it would also be a good idea to learn the basics of "screen"
[01:11] <blackest_knight> Sylvester_Ink: i think its a current bug in 9.10 at least
[01:11] <nomnex> Izinucs, sceen is a software? link?
[01:12] <iceroot> nomnex: have a look at  man screen
[01:12] <Izinucs> !screen | nomnex  It's in the repos
[01:12] <iceroot> nomnex: its a must have for using cli
[01:12] <Pelo> nomnex, screen is a session manager for command line applications ,
[01:12] <ftw> screen is amazing, and byobu is a good front-end for it
[01:12] <nomnex> iceroot, all, thanks I take a look
[01:12] <ftw> Don't ssh without it!
[01:12] <blackest_knight> Sylvester_Ink:  with my netbook and 19 inch i cant go aboove 800 x 600 on the 19inch side by side
[01:13] <Pelo> nomnex, hold on a minute I 've got a nice link to get you started with the command line
[01:13] <jasonmchristos> where can i get an easily installable matrix theme for ubuntu karmic?
[01:13] <nomnex> Pelo, I stay
[01:13] <Sylvester_Ink> thanks blackest_knight, for now I think I'll just have him use one monitor
[01:13] <Dr_Willis> jasonmchristos:  check out the gnome-art and gnome-artng tools they let you easially install different theme parts.
[01:13] <Pelo> nomnex, this will get you started with the very basics   http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[01:14] <Dr_Willis> jasonmchristos:  they get the stuff from the gnome-look and a few other web sites I recall
[01:14] <jasonmchristos> ok i will install it and let you know how it works thanks Dr_Willis
[01:14] <Izinucs> Is CPU scaling automatic?
[01:14] <blackest_knight> Sylvester should work vertical rouble is the xorg.conf getting junked out is creating problems
[01:15] <Tiders> cp -r to copy a whole directory?
[01:15] <iceroot> Izinucs: if the cpu supports it (and the cpu is supported by the kernel) yes
[01:15] <Pelo> Tiders, I like  cp dirname/*  less confusing
[01:15] <Tiders> Pelo, thats true thanks
[01:15] <Tiders> Pelo both would work though correct?
[01:15] <Sylvester_Ink> blackest_knight: yeah, but remember that I'm having to fix this problem remotely
[01:15] <Izinucs> iceroot: just noticed it for the first time.. live usb 64 bit kubuntu
[01:16] <Sylvester_Ink> I'm not actually at his computer, I'm telling him via gchat
[01:16] <nomnex> Pelo, I've got the link, but thanks (as the excellent Linux phrasebook-Scott Granneman-2006) if someone wants it, I'll share
[01:16] <Sylvester_Ink> and that's not fun
[01:16] <Pelo> Tiders, not sure if it would be   -r or -R but it should ,man cp to check
[01:16] <killingon1516> hi all. ubuntu novice here... im in the market to buy a LARGE mp3 player..and im wondering what works best with ubuntu..my sister told me to avoid ipods but other then that i have no guidelines..anyone help me?
[01:16] <Sylvester_Ink> killingon1516: I recommend looking into the iAudio line
[01:16] <trism> Pelo: both are correct
[01:16] <Sylvester_Ink> it's by Cowon
[01:16] <digitalaxis> killingon1516, Ipods work perfectly with ubuntu, i have used my ipod with ubuntu since ipods first came out
[01:16] <Pelo> nomnex, best suggestion I can make start bookmarking the links ppl give you ,even if you don'T use them now , eventualy you probably will need tem
[01:17] <Izinucs> Tiders: cp -r /path/of/directory /path/to/new/location
[01:17] <blackest_knight> Sylvester_Ink: well the display tool in gnome is fairly straigh forward mess  up reboot...
[01:17] <khelvan> Ok, the system just "froze" for a bit, meaning I couldn't move my mouse, then it started "stuttering," meaning I could move my mouse in spurts but not do anything, and alt-tab brought up only bits and pieces of a window, then the screen went black, then I was sent to the login screen in Karmic. I had two terminal windows open, Xchat, and Firefox...any idea what could cause this?
[01:17] <digitalaxis> killingon1516, In all honesty, ipods ARE the best MP3 player for Ubuntu.
[01:17] <Izinucs> Tiders: unless it's outside of /home
[01:17] <Hilikus> killingon1516: i second COWON, great products
[01:18] <Pelo> khelvan, what were you doing ? somethjing very cpu intensive ? that can happen
[01:18] <Hilikus> killingon1516: and stay away from ipods. they do work, but they are all hacks
[01:18] <killingon1516> well whats the biggest size for that one Hilkus?
[01:18] <Izinucs> khelvan: video driver maybe
[01:18] <blackest_knight> khelvan:  lack of ram or something doing too much try typing top in a terminal
[01:18] <digitalaxis> killingon1516, Check your private chat
[01:18] <klown> I agree, ipods work great with ubuntu, im using a 120g gen 5 classic right now
[01:18] <nomnex> Pelo, I don't understand "I can make start bookmarking the links ppl give you". but I have the link you gave me already in my bookmarks collection if it make sens?
[01:19] <Sylvester_Ink> Eh, iPods are good, but overrated
[01:19] <Sylvester_Ink> there are plenty of excellent mp3 players that aren't ipods, but few get looked at
[01:19] <Cyber_Akuma> I dont like mp3 players that require special software/drivers to put music on them
[01:19] <Cyber_Akuma> ipod, zune, eyc
[01:19] <Cyber_Akuma> etc*
[01:19] <Pelo> nomnex, sorry, bad wording,  bookmark every link ppl give you , you will probably need them eventualy
[01:19] <Sylvester_Ink> Cyber_Akuma: exactly, the cowon players work as thumb drives
[01:19] <khelvan> Pelo - Nothing, I had Firefox open to a few sites, htop running in one terminal, another wasn't doing anything. I was typing in XChat when it crashed. I have 12 GB of RAM. I have an Nvidia GTX 295, and am using the proprietary driver found in Karmic.
[01:19] <ga_sk8er> is there a good photo editing program where i can change only the background?
[01:19] <digitalaxis> Sylvester_Ink, i work at a radio station part time, and we use ipods for most field data storage simply because they are the most stable for large amounts of data
[01:19] <khelvan> The above was for Izinucs and blackest_knight, thanks.
[01:20] <Izinucs> Pelo: I use a mindmapper to track stuff in categories.. vym or other
[01:20] <Cyber_Akuma> What about laptop drive enclosures?
[01:20] <Cyber_Akuma> And flash memory "should" be more stable...
[01:20] <ga_sk8er> NEED A GOOD PHOTO EDITING PROGRAM
[01:20] <Hilikus> happy new year guys. im off
[01:20] <Dr_Willis> nomnex:  check out my ubuntu/linux tagged links at http://delicious.com/dr_willis also. :) and other peoples ubuntu tagged urls as well
[01:20] <Cyber_Akuma> ga_sk8er: The Gimp?
[01:20] <Dr_Willis> ga_sk8er:  thats doable with the gimp and some skill.
[01:21] <Cyber_Akuma> You also need to lay off the caps lock
[01:21] <Pelo> khelvan, it was just one possibility,  and wow,  I didn'T know they made comps with 12 gigs of ram , I'm impressed with your disposable income
[01:21] <Sylvester_Ink> digitalaxis: I'm not saying ipods are bad. I'm just not crazy about many of their limitations
[01:21] <ga_sk8er> cyber_akuma gimp wouldnt do what i wanted. i want to keep the ppl in the front & change the background
[01:21] <Cyber_Akuma> ditto Sylvester_Ink
[01:21] <klown> isnt the max on ram 32g now?
[01:21] <digitalaxis> Sylvester_Ink, lol like what?
[01:21] <Izinucs> Pelo: ram is cheap.. but you have to have the slots for that much
[01:21] <Sylvester_Ink> Like the need to use itunes to transfer audio
[01:21] <Cyber_Akuma> no, its far higher than 32gigs
[01:21] <khelvan> Pelo - I bought the RAM for less than $300 US. RAM is cheap these days.
[01:21] <digitalaxis> Sylvester_Ink, you dont need itunes to transfer audio
[01:21] <Cyber_Akuma> But if you are using 32 gigs of ram for a desktop, you are doing it wrong :P
[01:22] <blackest_knight> khelvan:  still worth running top  see whats going on
[01:22] <klown> lol, my board supports 16gigs of ddr3, if i need 16gigs, i got problems.
[01:22] <Cyber_Akuma> heh
[01:22] <Sylvester_Ink> digitalaxis: last I checked, unless you jailbreak the ipod you require itunes (or some software that supports the interface)
[01:22] <ga_sk8er> Cyber_Akuma gimp wouldnt do what i wanted. i want to keep the ppl in the front & change the background
[01:22] <Cyber_Akuma> I was planning to go 12....
[01:22]  * Pelo is playing around with an 8 yearold celeron D 1.7 mhz with 512 megs of ram and a nvidia g5200 (128mg),  Izinucs khelvan 
[01:22] <Izinucs> khelvan: check dmesg too.. maybe there's a reference there .. also /var/log
[01:22] <Cyber_Akuma> my choices are 3, 6, or 12....
[01:22] <wolfsong_> why does a drive i show mounted in Nautilus not appear in Firefox?
[01:23] <Izinucs> Pelo: you're almost modern with that equipment.. I have a couple around like that I use for servers and testing
[01:23] <Cyber_Akuma> Course, I dont have the MONEY to build it :(
[01:23] <digitalaxis> Sylvester_Ink, ipods are the easiest mp3 player to hack bud. No need to follow what they initially require:)
[01:23] <klown> Pelo, time for an upgrade :P
[01:23] <Pelo> khelvan, Izinucs  on the other hand I just bought a 32inch lcd for that computer, it's a media center now
[01:23] <nomnex> Peolo, I do that when I don't have the links already ;-) Dr_Willis, looking now
[01:23] <Cyber_Akuma> My old mp3 player messed up :(
[01:23] <Sylvester_Ink> digitalaxis: but you shouldn't need to hack them
[01:23] <Cyber_Akuma> The flash seems to be stuck in read-only mode
[01:23] <Sylvester_Ink> I'd rather use my money to support a manufacturer that gives me what I want by default
[01:23] <Pelo> klown, it was a gift from my neibourg ,when she bought her new one,  it's my favorite toy right now
[01:24] <Izinucs> Pelo: I just bought a 22" monitor 'cause I wanted the realestate and can't convince my wife I need two monitors :) .. $179 at tigerdirect
[01:24] <Cyber_Akuma> So not only can I not delete/ad dmusic... but it can't PLAY music either because it needs scratch space
[01:24] <digitalaxis> Sylvester_Ink, well i still prefer ipods, lol
[01:24] <klown> Izinucs, im trying to convince my wife of the same
[01:24] <Cyber_Akuma> at least I was able to get the music OFF of it though
[01:24] <Sylvester_Ink> digitalaxis: Good, good.  They're a good mp3 player. :D
[01:24] <Pelo> Izinucs, I want one of those, but for now ,all the money went to the tv and the "office comp" is setup with an second hand 17" crt
[01:24] <Izinucs> klown: I hate the questions.. "what do you do on that all day"?
[01:24] <Cyber_Akuma> I never understood the point of two moniters
[01:25] <Izinucs> Pelo: one thing at a time :)
[01:25] <Sylvester_Ink> Cyber_Akuma: more work space
[01:25] <Cyber_Akuma> Well, its true :P
[01:25] <Pelo> Izinucs, pretty much
[01:25] <klown> Izinucs, i get that all the time, even though she spends 12 hrs + playing a game on her pc.
[01:25] <digitalaxis> Cyber_Akuma, lol if you are a c++ programmer like me, you can find use for many many monitors lol
[01:25] <Pelo> hold on brb
[01:25] <Sylvester_Ink> hey, I have a quick question in general
[01:25] <JMONEY> Whats up guys
[01:25] <mister_roboto> Cyber_Akuma: it's great for developers who are running various servers, ides and monitors all up at once
[01:25] <Cyber_Akuma> Only reason I upgraded my monitor was becaue the old one got so bad I couldent tell the difference between n and m anymore
[01:25] <digitalaxis> Cyber_Akuma, run my SLN's on 1 monitor, write my cpp scripts on the other and use chat and such on my third
[01:25] <Izinucs> klown: yea.. mine plays a handheld freecell game..
[01:25] <Cyber_Akuma> I meant for a desktop :P
[01:25] <Sylvester_Ink> recently on slashdot there was an article about using Vim as an IDE
[01:26] <Cyber_Akuma> Even then, this new monitor's size is kinda overwhelming
[01:26] <klown> Izinucs, freecell, time for her to upgrade..that game is old as hell.
[01:26] <Cyber_Akuma> I can't imagine having two
[01:26] <digitalaxis> I have 3 24" monitors
[01:26] <JMONEY> Im trying to install from CD I get this error: //Filesystem.squasfs failed: invalid argument -- can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs)
[01:26] <Cyber_Akuma> since its 16:9, my old one was 4:3
[01:26] <Pelo> back
[01:26] <Sylvester_Ink> I'm currently moving to vim as an IDE, and I was wondering whether it would be better to stick to something like Codeblocks
[01:26] <ftw> right now I have 2 x 22" monitors, can't imagine anything less
[01:26] <klown> Cyber_Akuma, i would enjoy having two 22" monitors, anything bigger, would be overkill
[01:26] <mister_roboto> Sylvester_Ink: it's just an editor. hard to call vim an ide :)
[01:27] <Drakeson> could you please test your gnome-terminal? mine is very slow.  you can test it by doing:  "time gnome-terminal -x true"
[01:27] <Drakeson> it takes 3 seconds here
[01:27] <drx2> can you copy NTFS partitions from one drive to another with GPARTED on an Ubuntu 6.10 Live CD?
[01:27] <Cyber_Akuma> I just have a single 21.5 inch 16:9 monitor, running at 1920x1080
[01:27] <Sylvester_Ink> mister_roboto: but it can be extended to provide all the ide abilities
[01:27] <klown> i just bought a samsung 22" monitor a month ago, i want another just like it, expensive though.
[01:27] <Pelo> drx2, not sure gparted does copy
[01:27] <Cyber_Akuma> This thing was I think $120
[01:27] <Cyber_Akuma> pretty cheap
[01:27] <Izinucs> klown: she likes it .. I won't argue with her.
[01:27] <Cyber_Akuma> For what it does at least
[01:27] <mister_roboto> Sylvester_Ink: like what? syntax highlighting?  lol
[01:27] <JMONEY> Any ideas ?
[01:28] <Cyber_Akuma> 2ms response, hdcp and hdmi, audio in and out...
[01:28] <Cyber_Akuma> surprised it was only $120
[01:28] <mister_roboto> i use vi all the time and like it but it's not close to a real ide
[01:28] <Pelo> drx2, you can make a new partion an copy using a live ce but gparted has nothign to do with the copy
[01:28] <ribot> hi
[01:28] <JMONEY> Im trying to install from CD I get this error: //Filesystem.squasfs failed: invalid argument -- can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs)
[01:28] <osmosis> uhh  virt-install  or  vmbuilder?  The docs reference them both.
[01:28] <Sylvester_Ink> mister_roboto: projects, debugging, function and variable lists, etc
[01:28] <kmyst> anybody know why on a fresh intrepid install with luks encryption that it refuses to work with a keyfile larger than 640 bytes?
[01:28] <klown> my samsung has 2hdmi connections, and a component connection, i can hook everything to it.
[01:28] <tomvolek_> hi , happy new year.   I am installing oracle db as user oracle , how can i add oracle user to the sudoers list ?
[01:28] <Cyber_Akuma> nice :)
[01:28] <drx2> Pelo: so how do you copy the NTFS partition and boot sector information from one drive to the other?
[01:28] <Cyber_Akuma> Yeah, I connected my 360 and ps3 to this thing as well as my pc
[01:29] <Cyber_Akuma> since I dont have a hdtv
[01:29] <ribot> question: when i select my fat32 drive from the menu it is automatically mounted and i have permission, but when i added it in fstab i dont have any permissions as a user..how to fix this?
[01:29] <Cyber_Akuma> pc by dvi 360 by vga, ps3 by hdmi
[01:29] <klown> its your choice of course, but i dont see the point in owning a ps3 and a 360
[01:30] <Cyber_Akuma> 1. My PC sucks, 2. Most genras I like are not on pcs
[01:30] <Izinucs> older ps3 you can install ubuntu on
[01:30] <Cyber_Akuma> I have a wii too, Im a pretty big console gamer
[01:30] <Cyber_Akuma> tried that
[01:30] <Izinucs> slim doesn't work for that
[01:30] <Cyber_Akuma> ran like crap, do I put YDL instead, it was more optimized for the ps3
[01:30] <klown> subcolum 1) you own a 360 subcolum 2) you still own a 360
[01:30] <klown> :P
[01:30] <Cyber_Akuma> so*
[01:30] <Sylvester_Ink> Ah well, I'm out for now.  Thanks all of you who helped me out!  I'll try and contribute more on the IRC myself!
[01:31] <mister_roboto> Sylvester_Ink: can you point me to some of these extensions? i don't even know what that means... you have only one screen and commmand / input mode. it's not like you can step through your code watching the registers and memory locations, getting popup keyword completion, etc
[01:31] <Cyber_Akuma> so what? I like my 360 :P
[01:31] <drx2> how do you copy hard drives with Ubuntu Live CD?
[01:31] <klown> i just dont understand owning both, i own a 360 and love it, only reason id consider a ps3 is for the blueray drive, and i can buy one for 50$ :/
[01:31] <mister_roboto> Sylvester_Ink: there are so many ides out there now i can't fathom why you'd want to even try transforming vi into one. that's not the right use case for it
[01:31] <Cyber_Akuma> exclusives and friends
[01:31] <mezquitale> !ot| klown
[01:31] <Sylvester_Ink> mister_roboto: the ones I've installed so far are taglist, Nerdtree, Omnicppcomplete
[01:31] <Cyber_Akuma> half my friends have a 360, the other a ps3
[01:32] <mezquitale> !ot> Cyber_Akuma
[01:32] <Cyber_Akuma> you can't get uncharted or motorstorm on a 360, or halo and mass effect on a ps3 XD
[01:32] <Cyber_Akuma> ok ok
[01:32] <klown> mezquitale, your off topic notes are causing more issues than our conversation.
[01:32] <klown> just an fyi.
[01:33] <Sylvester_Ink> mister_roboto: I've really taken a liking to how efficient Vim is.  I'm giving it a try to see if it can compete with Codeblocks and Kdevelop
[01:33] <klown> and due to someone mentioning that you can run ubuntu on a ps3, it is on topic :P
[01:33] <Cyber_Akuma> those things always seem to crop up right when you are in the middle of talking about something, its like having a brick wall dropped in front of you when your car just hit max acceleration...
[01:34] <Cyber_Akuma> Too bad the RSX is locked out in OtherOS mode, no video acceleration on ps3 linux :(
[01:34] <JMONEY> Im trying to install from CD I get this error: //Filesystem.squasfs failed: invalid argument -- can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs)
[01:34] <mezquitale> drx2, you have to use a utility that will allow you to copy partitions, partimage will do the trick
[01:34] <mister_roboto> Sylvester_Ink: well, good luck :)   i like the fact that it's everywhere and comes up instantly when i need to edit files. and i have it burned into my fingers. but once you start plugging in tons of extensions to make it into an ide, you have to wonder if you're wasting time
[01:35] <Cyber_Akuma> Ill reinstall ubuntu and opensuse on my laptop someday...... and hopefully itll actually WORK that time
[01:35] <drx2> mezquitale: is that on the LiveCD?
[01:35] <Cyber_Akuma> Linux hates my laptop's hardware :(
[01:35] <klown> Cyber_Akuma, i had the same issue with my vaio.
[01:35] <ratonplayer> !ot Drx2
[01:35] <Cyber_Akuma> 8.10 was the only distro in which all the hardware worked
[01:35] <Sylvester_Ink> mister_roboto: I'll definitely keep your advice in mind.  If it turns out to be lacking, I can easily jump back to Codeblocks
[01:35] <ratonplayer> !ot
[01:35] <Cyber_Akuma> 8.04 sound worked, nothing else, before nothing worked
[01:36] <Cyber_Akuma> 9.04 my wifi and gpu worked
[01:36] <Cyber_Akuma> ... no sorry
[01:36] <mezquitale> drx2, I dont know, boot up the the live CD and find out
[01:36] <Cyber_Akuma> 8.10 my wifi and gpu worked
[01:36] <yoasif> can i "switch users" if i am using a desktop environment other than gnome/kde? (like say, windowmaker)
[01:36] <klown> ratonplayer, !ot | ratonplayer
[01:36] <Cyber_Akuma> 9.04 gpu broke again >.<
[01:36] <klown> dont forget the | :P
[01:36] <drx2> ratonplayer: how is that off topic?  I have an ubuntu LiveCD?
[01:36] <Cyber_Akuma> haven't tried 9.10 on it yet
[01:36] <mister_roboto> Sylvester_Ink: i'm not actually giving you any advice. i'm just expressing my amusement that people are trying to turn vi into something like an ide. why not just go to emacs or stay with codeblocks? (i don't know codeblocks)
[01:36] <Cyber_Akuma> Stupid Radon x1200
[01:37] <fallore> i'm trying to use the terminal to install samba ("sudo apt-get install samba") but i get the message "E: Coudln't find package samba"
[01:37] <mezquitale> drx2, youre not off topic, he's talking about a troll that insists on trolling around
[01:37] <Dmole> hi, how can I test the www speed of a server, i was thinking public FTP, anyone know of any or other options?
[01:37] <Cyber_Akuma> vi...... can't STAND that thing... i've tried it
[01:37] <klown> Cyber_Akuma, last i tried on my vaio was 9.04 also, and i had gfx acceleration issues.
[01:37] <Cyber_Akuma> klown: was it also an ati card?
[01:37] <mister_roboto> Cyber_Akuma: if you're a touch typist, and can get past the learning part, it's very fast to use for simple editing
[01:37] <Sylvester_Ink> mister_roboto: I'm not too crazy about emacs myself.  It's a good editor, but i'm acustomed to Vim
[01:38] <Cyber_Akuma> I heard that ati sorta discotninued support of some older cards in linux, and the xorg that 9.04 uses needed the newer drivers... or something like that
[01:38] <klown> Cyber_Akuma, no, an intel card.::disgust::
[01:38] <Sylvester_Ink> mister_roboto: besides, Vim has a lot of built in IDE features, so why not use them?
[01:38] <Cyber_Akuma> I am.... not sure what I am
[01:38] <drx2> mezquitale: ok, how might I find the copy program on the Live CD?
[01:38] <Cyber_Akuma> Its like some weird mutant offspring of two-finger and touch typing
[01:38] <Cyber_Akuma> As long as im not conscious of my fingers... I can touch type XD
[01:38] <klown> lol, im the same way
[01:39] <Cyber_Akuma> I just felt that vi is kinda cryptic
[01:39] <fallore> i'm trying to use the terminal to install samba ("sudo apt-get install samba") but i get the message "E: Coudln't find package samba"
[01:39] <klown> when i started taking programming classes in college, they made us use vi
[01:39] <Sylvester_Ink> Cyber_Akuma: It is difficult at first, but once I figured it out, I really like it
[01:40] <mister_roboto> Sylvester_Ink: sure, i'm not saying you should stay away from them. i just like the portability and do things with many different kinds of unix, most of which aren't running vim or associated plugins/extensions
[01:40] <Cyber_Akuma> Maybe I was too used to edit, but the ui seemed very..... not sure whats the word
[01:40] <kmyst> yeah well i got hooked on emacs but eventually learned that vi is installed everywhere whereas emacs wasn't and switched...now i can't see any other way of editing quickly
[01:40] <mister_roboto> Cyber_Akuma: primitive?  :)
[01:40] <Cyber_Akuma> nah
[01:40] <klown> fallore, apt-get install smbclient
[01:40] <mezquitale> drx2, boot up to the live CD, then open up a terminal and type partimage
[01:41] <Sylvester_Ink> mister_roboto, Cyber_Akuma  I'm referring to Vim rather than Vi, fyi
[01:41] <Cyber_Akuma> .... I guess cryptic, go to control mode then type ;q to quit
[01:41] <fallore> same message, klown
[01:41] <klown> fallore, try apt-get install smbfs
[01:41] <mezquitale> fallore, you go into "software sources" and enable 3rd party vendors
[01:41] <Cyber_Akuma> I mean, when you can't even figure out how to EXIT a program without a manual...
[01:41] <fallore> mezquitale: all i have is a terminal.
[01:41] <mister_roboto> Cyber_Akuma: i understand. i hated it at first too :)
[01:41] <Cyber_Akuma> I use nano when I am in a cli
[01:41] <fallore> that one didn't work either, klown
[01:41] <Sylvester_Ink> Cyber_Akuma: that's what vimtutor is for :D
[01:41] <Cyber_Akuma> and gedit or whatever is installed for gui
[01:41] <kmyst> like emacs makes sense to exit?! :q is way easier
[01:42] <riverbird> !ops kick Cyber_Akuma
[01:42] <mezquitale> !ot < kmyst
[01:42] <mezquitale> !ot >kmyst
[01:42] <Cpudan80> riverbird: do a | between the ops bit and the person
[01:42] <klown> lol, now emacs isnt related?
[01:42] <Cyber_Akuma> What advantage does vi have though nowadays? I mean, I can understand how something tiny and using up small memory was useful back in the day, but what advntage does it have over other editors nowadays?
[01:43] <klown> Cyber_Akuma, nothing really.
[01:43] <Sylvester_Ink> Cyber_Akuma: because of the available commands, editing is a lot quicker
[01:43] <kmyst> simple, it is installed everywhere
[01:43] <Cyber_Akuma> So why does everyone use it then?
[01:43] <mister_roboto> Cyber_Akuma: for me, it's primarily the speed when you have to go quickly edit a file
[01:43] <Cyber_Akuma> heh
[01:43] <klown> Cyber_Akuma, alot of people learned to use it first
[01:43] <kmyst> whether you use ubuntu or slackware
[01:43] <mister_roboto> cyber Cyber_Akuma  and it works in a terminal
[01:43] <fallore> can anyone help me install samba with only a command line?
[01:43] <bill> out of the blue: leafpad is my favourite text editor combined with the open-as-root script in nautilus for system tweaking
[01:43] <usr13> Cyber_Akuma: More reasons than you'll ever know.
[01:43] <MikeGuo> hi, guys, I got a wireless issue in my unbuntu 9.04, my wirelss card work,  but it can't connect my wireless router, if I give a security setting in my wireless router,
[01:44] <Cyber_Akuma> never heard of leafpad....
[01:44] <unop> !ot
[01:44] <ardchoille> !ot
[01:44] <klown> what is with the offtopic?
[01:44] <fallore> seriously
[01:44] <klown> calm down, plz..
[01:44] <kmyst> plus if you have to rescue a crashed system it is handy...
[01:44] <MikeGuo> it always want me input password, but I promise I did that
[01:44] <LinuxGuy2009> I'm thinking of trying 9.10 out once again to see if things have improved with audio. I was gonna take my 9.10 standard CD and use ubuntu customization kit to make a disk like there selling on on-disk.com 9.10-10.01 (9.10 with all integrated updates as of Jan 2010).Pretty easy to do. So whats the deal with pulseaudio? Did they change anything with it or is it the same unreliable crap that it has been in the past?
[01:44] <Sylvester_Ink> I guess cause this isn't a Vi forum
[01:44] <Dmole> fallore: sudo aptitude install samba -y;
[01:44] <Sylvester_Ink> I apologize for hijacking the topic
[01:44] <bill> leafpad is very similar to notepad on Windows but doesn't suck
[01:44] <Cyber_Akuma> Most of the rescue disks I have gotten have several text editors
[01:44] <klown> yes, dont talk about anything not related to ubuntu.. :/
[01:45] <klown> get a life, plz.
[01:45] <MikeGuo> anyone can help me about my wireless network issue?
[01:45] <MikeGuo> thanks
[01:45] <fallore> that worked! thank you dmole. or at least i think it did
[01:45] <mezquitale> LinuxGuy2009, i've had mixed results in both my laptop and desktop, pulse audio doesn't really work flawlessly in karmic
[01:45] <Cyber_Akuma> Hmm.... wireless...... does ubuntu still have problems with wpa support btw?
[01:45] <bill> nano at a text prompt is what I use for system rescue ;)
[01:45] <Cyber_Akuma> Im stuck on wep :(
[01:45] <usr13> Cyber_Akuma: vim is a very powerful and versitle editor that is quick and easy to use.  Try it, you'll like it.
[01:45] <Cyber_Akuma> bill: ditto
[01:45] <klown> Cyber_Akuma, havent tried wpa.
[01:45] <mister_roboto> Cyber_Akuma: i suspect that most of us vi'ers have supported many variations of unix and done so over remote ssh connections
[01:45] <Cyber_Akuma> I HAVE tried it usr13
[01:46] <fallore> Dmole: how can i check to make sure it is installed, and do you know the file that i have to edit to play with the config?
[01:46] <mezquitale> is there an admin that can take care of a couple of trolls?
[01:46] <usr13> Cyber_Akuma: Then you should like it.
[01:46] <Cyber_Akuma> I needed to boto up another pc and lookup a manual to find out how to exit after failing to use it to edit >.<
[01:46] <MikeGuo> Cyber_Akuma: I am not sure. but my wireless card worked, when my wirelss route didn't use secureity
[01:46] <klown> Cyber_Akuma, its a good program, as been mentioned, but if you dont care for it, its your personal opinion.
[01:46] <gwince> Cyber_Akuma: Yeah, I'm behind. Vi comes as standard with most distros, and it's easier to use that than anything else when you manage 300+ Redhat servers. :)
[01:46] <Dmole> fallore: man samba;
[01:46] <losha> LinuxGuy2009: Actually, I've had good luck removing pulseaudio altogether: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html
[01:46] <kmyst> mister_roboto: amen...i'm always able to use vi no matter what flavor of *nix
[01:46] <LinuxGuy2009> mezquitale: That sucks. If 10.04 LTS is this bad then Im staying with pure Debian from now on, its much more reliable and stable.
[01:46] <MikeGuo> Cyber_Akum: that's because ubuntu support wpa issue?
[01:46] <fallore> dmole: man: command not found
[01:46] <Cyber_Akuma> Im just saying its the first editor that I was not able to use without a manual, not even to be able to exit it
[01:47] <ardchoille> !ot| Cyber_Akuma
[01:47] <Cyber_Akuma> MikeGuo: I was just asking actually
[01:47] <ionine_> ?DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0 0
[01:47] <klown> how is vi off topic?
[01:47] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information.
[01:47] <Cyber_Akuma> I have three systems that are wep, going to see if I can do anything about getting them to work with wpa
[01:47] <Cyber_Akuma> because its not secure >.<
[01:47] <kmyst> Cyber_Akuma: can't use wpasupplicant?
[01:47] <Cyber_Akuma> .... wait, no, two systems iirc
[01:48] <Cyber_Akuma> wpasupplicant?
[01:48] <MikeGuo> Cyber_Akuma: yeah, I have this issue to.
[01:48] <MikeGuo> too.
[01:48] <losha> Cyber_Akuma: vi was developed long before user 'friendliness' was even a concept. And there are still environments e.g. embedded processors where having a small but full-featured editor is worthwhile...
[01:48] <MikeGuo> I just can use Mac address limited in my router right now
[01:48] <mezquitale> klown, this is not a channel to support vi, it is to support ubuntu, is vi working on your ubuntu installation?
[01:48] <MikeGuo> so strange.
[01:48] <kmyst> Cyber_Akuma: aye...i have seen it in use but don't use it...my stuff is wide open :)
[01:48] <Dmole> fallore: man not found? what are you using?
[01:48] <ardchoille> losha: Please take the off topic chat to another channel
[01:48] <fallore> dmole: xbmc
[01:49] <klown> mezquitale, doesnt ubuntu come with vi?  if so, then its on topic :)
[01:49] <Cyber_Akuma> losha: yes, I know, I asknowledged this, that before modern ui concepts it was probably the best, and its still useful in tiny/embedded systems
[01:49] <bazhang> !ot
[01:49] <Dmole> fallore: oh just use google as your command line then
[01:49] <ardchoille> !ops | Cyber_Akuma losha continue ot
[01:49] <MikeGuo> kmyst: I have this issue too, but I installed the package wpasupplicant
[01:49] <Cyber_Akuma> Just don't see why its used for example on desktops nowadays, is it just because peopel are used to it? because pretty much eveyr distro has it?
[01:49] <mezquitale> klown, ok so what issue are you having with vi? is it working or not?  Please post the issue all on one line so that others may follow
[01:49] <kmyst> MikeGuo: like i said i don't use it just seen it in use before
[01:50] <klown> mezquitale, i dont have any issues with vi, but Cyber_Akuma has an issue figuring out how to use vi, and we are having a discussion about the application.
[01:50] <Guest11434> Anyone willing to try to help me with a boot problem?
[01:50] <ardchoille> klown: But this channel isn't the place for that
[01:50] <Cyber_Akuma> Not really, more like I am trying to figure out why its still the main one in use today for even desktop work
[01:51] <usr13> Cyber_Akuma: Again, there are many reasons.  You would have to use it to know.  Trust us, if you use it you will see why.
[01:51] <klown> ardchoille, its a support channel for an item on ubuntu, its like when people ask how to play mp3s on ubuntu, are you calling that off topic?
[01:51] <kmyst> Cyber_Akuma: it is univeral is why
[01:51] <bill> I have a question while I'm here testing this IRC client ;): I'm on karmic koala now, first time linux.  When the next LTS comes out in April, should I boot, wait for GDM then Control+Alt+F1 to a console and sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade without fully booting in Gnome?  Or does it make a difference? Not needed, use synaptic of a graphical terminal?
[01:51] <mezquitale> klown, this is ubuntu support, not vi support, if vi is up and running then ask Cyber_Akuma to go to the forums to learn how to use vi
[01:51] <D-coy> m4v hdp where r u??? :P
[01:51] <kmyst> universal rather
[01:51] <Guest11434> I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my mother's computer for her and ran update manager for the first time. While it was updating it told me that I'd have to restart to finish, so I chose the restart option. While it was loading it hung on the white Ubuntu symbol right before the splash page. After staying there for some time the screen went black and all I could see was
[01:51] <Guest11434> fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16 [   3.575240] Adding 6032368k swap on /dev/sda5.

[01:52] <mka> mezquitale, then what are we actually supporting in ubuntu, again?
[01:52] <Cyber_Akuma> ... the gui I guess? XD
[01:52] <MikeGuo> kmyst: ok. anyway, thanks
[01:52] <Cyber_Akuma> Since apparently its not the apps
[01:52] <MikeGuo> anyone know ubuntu wpa issue?
[01:52] <kmyst> wait i'm confused...what do we support??? ubuntu=programs from everywhere i.e. vi
[01:52] <bazhang> lets move the vi chat to #ubuntu-offtopic klown mezquitale Cyber_Akuma
[01:52] <klown> no..you discuss the word ubuntu.
[01:53] <klown> since thats the only thing directly related
[01:53] <MikeGuo> I can't connect my wireless router.
[01:53] <klown> but then again, its an african word, so that wouldnt be related either.
[01:53] <Cyber_Akuma> Ubuntu.... Isn't that like an African or something like that word meaning togetherness?
[01:53] <bill> Ubuntu is a package mainly composed of a few custom graphics.  The rest of the package is what to include from FLOSS so a definition is in order... ;) Being simple on purpose.
[01:53] <bazhang> Cyber_Akuma, please stay on topic
[01:53] <mezquitale> mka, if it works on ubuntu, the "installation" is OK, then the issue is not with ubuntu
[01:53] <Guest11434> Anyone? Or is there a particular channel I should take my question to?
[01:54] <mister_roboto> bill: on my laptop here, i just do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" fairly regularly to keep everything up to date
[01:54] <kmyst> that's what i thought..so if i need help on fsck i need to go to other chan?  good reasoning
[01:54] <mezquitale> !patience | Guest11434
[01:54] <klown> bazhang, mind if i message you?
[01:54] <mister_roboto> bill: oh, and do that from an xterm within the gui.  if the kernel changes, i reboot
[01:54] <mka> mezquitale, confused, but I am not here to discuss off-topic stuff. let me distance myself from this.
[01:54] <bazhang> klown, go ahead
[01:54] <bill> mister_roboto: oops, apt-get dist-upgrade, gotcha! I'll probably do it from a text console then if it doesn't matter - who knows? ;)
[01:55] <Cyber_Akuma> BTW, anybody here boot ubuntu and other distros at once? Was wondering if there is a way to make it so grub2 won't have problems if distros other than ubuntu update their kernel, since it seems to need to point to the kernel directly
[01:55] <Dmole> Guest11434: put your stuff in a past bin and list any changes after install
[01:56] <mister_roboto> bill: it doesn't matter. the update process will restart what it can and anything else will restart some time later. of course you can afford to update a little more freely on your desktop than you might on a mission-critical server :)
[01:56] <Dr_Willis> Cyber_Akuma:  you could set up the other distros bootloader on the boot record of their partiton and have grub2 chainload the other disrtos bootloader.. some how..
[01:56] <Cyber_Akuma> Yeah but then THAT disto will aldo triple boot
[01:56] <Dr_Willis> Cyber_Akuma:  easiest would be to have a seperate hard drive for each disrto and use the bios menus to boot whatever hd you wanted.
[01:56] <Cyber_Akuma> also*
[01:56] <Dr_Willis> Cyber_Akuma:  sounds like you will be doing some grub-fu-by hand work then
[01:56] <blahblahblix> q
[01:56] <Cyber_Akuma> Its a laptop and I have three OSes on it, not really possible unfortunately
[01:57] <Cyber_Akuma> WIn7/Ubuntu/OpenSUSE
[01:57] <JMONEY> so after i tried check cd for defects i get the follow message: //filesystem.squashfs failed: invalid arguments -- can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs)
[01:57] <losha> Cyber_Akuma: there's no way to *guarantee* that other distros will update grub2 correctly. There's basically no substititute for checking and maintaining it by hand, in my opinion...
[01:57] <mka> Dr_Willis, to chainload even linux distros? is that efficient?
[01:57] <bill> mister_roboto: Ok then, makes sense!  Thank you for the help!  When LTS is available I'll be back the next day to see how busy this channel is before doing it myself! ;)  Thank you again, done testing IRC client now: goodbye.
[01:57] <kmyst> Cyber_Akuma: back before there was such a thing as grub there was lilo and i managed to do 4 linux installs using the above suggestion
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> mka:  it dosent slow down anything.. ya just have to hit 2 menu items  ay get grub2 --> other grub..  so its possuible
[01:57] <JMONEY> any help plz
[01:58] <Dr_Willis>  Grub can go on the MBR of the hard drive.. OR on teh bootrecord of the partion. thats the  'trick' to chainloading i recall.
[01:58] <bazhang> JMONEY, did you md5 the iso
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> Now making sure  the other disrtos dont fight over installing their boot records is the trick
[01:58] <JMONEY> I downloaded from ubuntu.com 2 times
[01:58] <Cyber_Akuma> There is no way I could, for example, make grub point to a config file that the distro itself can update and let THAT tell it where the kernel/everything is? Sorry if that makes no sense
[01:58] <JMONEY> bazhang, how I do that?
[01:58] <mezquitale> Cyber_Akuma, basically you just have to try it and see what happens, one issue I have found is that grub2 is poor at finding distros that have their own "/boot" partition, it's a bug and dont know if it got fixed or not but you can definetely make it work with SuSE
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> Cyber_Akuma:  depends on what the other disrto is using.
[01:59] <Guest11434> I installed Ubuntu 9.10 earlier and everything worked just fine. I ran the update manager for the first time and while it was doing its thing it told me that I need to restart. I did so and now I can't boot into Ubuntu.
[01:59] <bazhang> !md5 | JMONEY
[01:59] <mka> Cyber_Akuma, Dr_Willis, what if there is one bootloader at the MBR and then grub2 use the /vmlinuz and /initrd symbolic links that would point to the latest kernel versions?
[01:59] <mtc> Guest11434: grub should show you an option to boot the old version, when you boot
[01:59] <Dr_Willis> Cyber_Akuma:  some of the new fetures of grub2 will proberly let ya do that somehow.. but grub2 is still a work in progress
[01:59] <mezquitale> Guest11434, try going into a console using "altr-ctrl-F1"
[01:59] <JMONEY> bazhang, where do I get the .md5 file ?
[01:59] <Dr_Willis> mka:  part of the issue will be the various arguments to the kernel and intird also..
[02:00] <losha> mka: you'd still have to keep the links updated if anything changed, so I don't see that you're much better off....
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> Personally if using 2 linux's id just run one in virtualbox. :)
[02:00] <bazhang> JMONEY, did you check the link?
[02:00] <JMONEY> bazhang, yeah
[02:00] <mka> losha, I think when you install the a newer kernel those links are updated automatically
[02:00] <Guest11434> I tried that, I can't enter a console. It hangs on the screen with the white Ubuntu logo right before the splash screen for a bit, and then goes to a black screen with: fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16 [   3.575240] Adding 6032368k swap on /dev/sda5.   Priority:-1 extents:1 across: 6032368k /dev/sda1: clean, 151614/9396224 files, 1245533/37553937 blocks init: udevtrigger main process (549) terminated with status 1 init: udevtrigg
[02:00] <bazhang> JMONEY, just a second
[02:01] <JMONEY> k
[02:01] <Cyber_Akuma> mka: I .... don't know what that means, sorry, im still learning linux. Symbolic Links I mean.... I guess ill have to see once I reinstall opnsuse and ubuntu
[02:01] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes JMONEY
[02:01] <Guest11434> Though sometimes it's not exactly like that. other times it stops after blocks
[02:01] <Dr_Willis> Multi-boot with grub and grub2 and chainloading http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?t=152784
[02:01] <kmyst> symbolic link is a shortcut in a sense
[02:01] <Cyber_Akuma> When I tried it, it was a mess, but the version of ubuntu I used was still using grub1, and I installed it on a n ext4 partition, opensuse coulden't read ext4 back then either
[02:01] <mka> Cyber_Akuma, a symbolic link is simply a shortcut
[02:01] <Cyber_Akuma> Now that ubuntu uses grub2 and opensuse can do ext4 im hoping it will be a bit less messy
[02:01] <losha> mka: maybe true when you update a ubuntu kernel, but if you're dual-booting say, bsd, you're gonna have to do some hand editing....
[02:02] <Dr_Willis> Cyber_Akuma:  if you dont know what symbolic links even are.. well.. :) you may want to stick to running one disrto in virtualbox then.
[02:02] <mezquitale> Guest11434, it sounds like you have a bad hard drive
[02:02] <mka> losha, why?
[02:02] <Cyber_Akuma> Im new to linux, not computers :P
[02:02] <mtc> Guest11434: yup hard disk drive errors
[02:02] <Guest11434> Also, I'm not sure if this means anything but when it was working it just booted into Ubuntu. Ever since the problem started it's been taking me straight to GRUB
[02:02] <Cyber_Akuma> mka: I see
[02:03] <Dr_Willis> Cyber_Akuma:  grub2 has some very powerfull scripting features that could proberly read some suse configs and auto add the proper entries.. but   i still think chainloading would be the proper way.
[02:03] <mka> losha, at some point a had 6 operating systems on 1 machine with one grub in MBR
[02:03] <Cyber_Akuma> Yeah, I like how its modular, saved me when using linux on THIS pc
[02:03] <mka> losha, but that was the older grub not this confusing new one
[02:03] <Cyber_Akuma> getting it to boot was a mess XD
[02:03] <losha> mka: because other distros, and even older versions of ubuntu can't be relied on to get the syntax correct when they update the grub config files....
[02:03] <mezquitale> Guest11434, do you have grub2 installed?  Does it make it to the point when you can choose what OS to boot up into?
[02:04] <mtc> Guest11434: try booting to a live cd
[02:04] <Cyber_Akuma> Old motherboard that can't read past the 132gb limit, the hdd is 160gb and I installed linux past the 132gb mark.... that took a while to fix in grub2
[02:04] <Guest11434> Actually it says GRUB 1.97 (or 94, something like that) beta. It does allow me to choose the OS to boot into (though only Ubuntu is on there)
[02:04] <Dr_Willis> Cyber_Akuma:  thats odd... :) then again . there used to be a 1024 cylinder limit. thats one of the reasons for  /boot/ partitions
[02:04] <kmyst> yeah but whilst in one distro grub can't/shouldn't update the config files for another distro unless for some *crazy* reason you are trying to share /boot amongst the various distros...that way lies madness
[02:05] <Guest11434> I can boot with a liveCD... Not sure what to do with it though, I've never run into a problem like this
[02:05] <mka> losha, ok, my knowledge is limited when it goes to grub2 but with the older grub, there are no problems
[02:05] <Cyber_Akuma> Tried a boot partition, still didn't help, I just wound up installing grub with the ata module instead of the bios one
[02:05] <Cyber_Akuma> Had to edit grub's autoconfig files to point to ata instead of hd devices too...
[02:05] <ribot> hi, i wonder how to mount a drive on boot the same was as you mount it when clicking it in places...the drive in question is a local fat32 drive
[02:05] <Dr_Willis> Cyber_Akuma:  perhaps this url -> http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/suse-linux-help/57896-suse-ubuntu-dual-boot.html
[02:05] <Cyber_Akuma> thanks
[02:05] <kmyst> ribot: add it to /etc/fstab
[02:06] <mezquitale> Guest11434, boot up to your live CD, then youre going to show us how your hard drive is partition using paste bin, remember use paste bin to post multiple lines, do not post to the channel or you will be kicked
[02:06] <losha> mka: maybe you were just lucky. Plenty of people show up here claiming an update messed with their grub configs....
[02:06] <mka> Guest11434, what is your problem again?
[02:06] <ribot> kmyst: i have tried a few different ways to do this but i dont have write permissions when i do it
[02:06] <drx2> what do you do when the Live CD gets stuck on "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel?
[02:06] <mka> losha, nope, not lucky, since warty
[02:06] <Guest11434> Not sure how to use paste bin
[02:06] <mezquitale> mka, he can't boot up, he chooses his OS in grub menu then machine hungs
[02:07] <kmyst> ribot: use sudo instead of editing it as your normal login
[02:07] <mezquitale> !paste | Guest11434
[02:07] <losha> mka: did I say lucky? I meant to say terribly clever....
[02:07] <ribot> kmyst: i edited the fiel as sudo if that's what you mean
[02:07] <Guest11434> Alright, I'll try that.
[02:07] <mka> losha, neither, i like your humour, ha, ha!
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> Cyber_Akuma:  and perhaps -> http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-tutorials-howtos-reference-material/51822-how-triboot-computer.html
[02:08] <kmyst> ribot: what i meant was as an example: sudo vi /etc/fstab ... or whatever your poison is for an editor
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> Cyber_Akuma:  i see an improvement in your GRUB skills in your future... :)
[02:09] <ribot> kmyst i did edit fstab with sudo, but idont know what options to write to get permissions for my normal user to read and write
[02:09] <kmyst> ribot: then just add then entry e.g. /dev/hda1 /mnt/foo vfat 0 0
[02:09] <jordanwb> I've got Ubuntu 9.10 Server running on a machine and sendmail takes over a minute to startup
[02:09] <Cyber_Akuma> I forsee much swearing and wanting to punch the computer in my future
[02:09] <ribot> kmyst:  when i boot i dont have permissions to edit the files
[02:09] <Cyber_Akuma> just like my presnet
[02:09] <Cyber_Akuma> ... and past
[02:10] <kmyst> ribot: oh..yeah use the either the option user or owner
[02:10] <jordanwb> Cyber_Akuma: sometimes I feel the same way
[02:10] <fallore> terminal command to restart?
[02:10] <Cyber_Akuma> Dosen't help that im basically my family's tech support
[02:10] <Cyber_Akuma> .... AND I worked as a system analyst
[02:10] <Cyber_Akuma> >.<
[02:10] <fallore> cool story bro, this isn't offtopic.
[02:11] <kmyst> ribot: just msg me
[02:11] <Cyber_Akuma> .... at times, linux channels almost feel like a civil war between those fighting others claiming off topic.....
[02:11] <mka> I have a laptop with a massive RAM and no hard drive, not even usb flash disk, at school they said RAM is volatile, is there a way to shutdown/hibernate my ubuntu LiveCD settings and be able to resume them up later on?
[02:11] <klown> fallore, sudo reboot
[02:11] <JMONEY> bazhang, the hashes match..
[02:11] <Cyber_Akuma> mka: sleep should work
[02:12] <Cyber_Akuma> But that means itll still need power
[02:12] <JMONEY> bazhang, what I do next ?
[02:12] <mka> Cyber_Akuma, I need something that will be powered off
[02:13] <Cyber_Akuma> Not really possibl with violatle-only storage
[02:13] <Cyber_Akuma> You need something that can retain memory without power, and ram cannot
[02:13] <benjgvps> Can someone check my xorg.conf? I gives me a parse error on line 58 section module: http://pastebin.org/70235
[02:14] <mka> Cyber_Akuma, **banging head against the desk**, damn, damn, damn
[02:14] <`brandon`> hello, i have Ubuntu 9.04 Server, but when it's done and i boot into it, it go's to sh-grub, any idea's?
[02:14] <Cyber_Akuma> Why? Are you on that system right now?
[02:14] <jordanwb> benjgvps: Put a # before the disable
[02:14] <mka> Cyber_Akuma, yes, I have been running this laptop with no HDD for about 4 days now
[02:15] <`brandon`> Cyber_Akuma me?
[02:15] <Cyber_Akuma> If there are files you need to save, you could archive (and password encrypt) them then upload them to a file sharing site like rapidshare or megaupload
[02:15] <Cyber_Akuma> and write down the url
[02:15] <`brandon`> oh
[02:15] <mka> `brandon`, not you
[02:15] <kmyst> Cyber_Akuma: why can't one suspend and keep everything in ram so long as the battery has juice???
[02:16] <Cyber_Akuma> That or go out and buy a usb flashdrive, im afraid those are sorta your only oreal options
[02:16] <mka> `brandon`, oh, maybe you
[02:16] <Cyber_Akuma> kmyst: he said he needs a powerless solution
[02:16] <jordanwb> mka: buy a hard drive
[02:16] <kmyst> Cyber_Akuma: missed that part, sorry
[02:16] <riverbird> mka, which distro are you using?
[02:16] <Cyber_Akuma> np
[02:16] <JMONEY> bazhang, you there?
[02:16] <mka> jordanwb, I have a HDD but it disappears anytime it wants
[02:17] <mka> riverbird, I am using an intrepid livecd
[02:17] <`brandon`> mka: nope not me.
[02:17] <mka> `brandon`, man, it has to be you
[02:17] <benjgvps> jordanwb: I added the # and it gives me the same error
[02:17] <kmyst> speaking of intrepid...anybody other there use it and have their drive encrypted?
[02:17] <kmyst> and use a keyfile?
[02:17] <riverbird> mka, if you run from a karmic livecd, you could save straight to the One client, just an option
[02:18] <klown> benjgvps, # in front of lines 57-60
[02:18] <klown> benjgvps, excuse me, 59*
[02:18] <jordanwb> I've got Ubuntu 9.10 Server running on a machine and sendmail takes over a minute to startup
[02:18] <mka> riverbird, I left my karmic livecd at a distance city ~1000km away
[02:18] <benjgvps> Sure
[02:19] <drx2> Why might the LiveCD stall on Begin:  Mounting root file system...
[02:19] <xrfang> anyone using gnome-shell?
[02:19] <klown> benjgvps, any reason why you are disabling dri?
[02:19] <klown> benjgvps, let me rephrase, is there a specific reason*
[02:19] <losha> jordanwb: that's usually a config problem, most often dns. Are there any messages about sendmail in /var/log/messages?
[02:19] <benjgvps> I see the problem now
[02:19] <mka> riverbird, jordanwb, Cyber_Akuma, anyway any clue why my hdd just disappears without any real notice?
[02:19] <benjgvps> klown: X wasn't starting
[02:20] <benjgvps> The vesa driver isn't installed
[02:20] <kmyst> mka: what kind of drive?
[02:20] <mka> kmyst, laptop hdd
[02:20] <riverbird> maybe the homeland security took it
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> mka:  last time ive seen hard drives 'vanish' there was some error messages in dmesg, about the reasons..
[02:20] <kmyst> mka: no i mean make/model/etc
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> mka:  its possible the hd is failing.
[02:20] <jordanwb> losha: I'll check
[02:21] <mka> Dr_Willis, kmyst when it vanish i cannot even execute "ls"
[02:21] <ribot> hi again
[02:21] <kmyst> mka: well i had that happen a while back but it was due to faulty firmware thanks to seagate
[02:21] <Dr_Willis> mka:  sounds like some harware issues to me.. try out a live cd.  or live usb. and id be backing up any info you need from it soon,.
[02:22] <ribot> still unable to boot ubuntu with a mounted drive that i have permissions on
[02:22] <kmyst> mka: the thing would just go into neverland and quit responding
[02:22] <kmyst> ribot: msg me
[02:22] <xrfang> I have a question about gnome-shell, how to make it the default window manager/shell of gnome? now I have to auto-run gnome-shell --replace as metacity is loaded by default, and I don't know where to change this behavior
[02:22] <mka> Dr_Willis, ja it's hardware I think so as well, because I can mount it sometimes and access files, then about 2 minutes later, POOF, files are gone
[02:23] <kmyst> sounds like hardware then
[02:23] <losha> mka: I'm with Dr_Willis. There should be endless complaints in dmesg if the disk drops out....
[02:23] <riverbird> must be an old windows drive
[02:23] <kmyst> any seek not ready statements in the kernel log?
[02:24] <itsnotstalking> losha, you just dont know how to treat her right ;)
[02:24] <mka> losha, but I never ever seen that disk for the past 4 days, its a luck if it shows up (like a rain in the desert)
[02:24] <mka> losha, sudo fdisk -l is blank
[02:24] <ardchoille> xrfang: put gnome-shell --replace in your startup apps
[02:24] <jordanwb> losha: There's nothing regarding sendmail
[02:24] <matelot> ? Hi does Ubuntu(904) recognize the "windows" key ?
[02:25] <matelot> at all
[02:25] <losha> jordanwb: and nothing in the output of dmesg ?
[02:25] <usr13> matelot: If you want it to.
[02:25] <mka> losha, I managed to quickly deleting its swap partition because it used to trap my livecd session when it vanishes
[02:25] <ribot> how come it's so easy to get permissions when you mount the drive from ubuntu's gui, but so difficult to mount it on boot?
[02:25] <jordanwb> losha: dmesg | grep sendmail gives nothing
[02:25] <Scott1979> no and why should it its a windows kry
[02:25] <maximilian> hay
[02:25] <matelot> usr13, by default it does not, right ?
[02:25] <Scott1979> ctrl alt delete it does
[02:25] <maximilian> happy new year
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> matelot:  the Windows key is normalluy called the 'Super' key  in Linux. and its useable by many programs as a extra meta-key
[02:26] <JMONEY> why Ubuntu so hard to install ?
[02:26] <losha> mka: does sound like bad hardware. Try smartmontools?
[02:26] <Xfact> happy new year already passed here 8 hrs ago
[02:26] <benjgvps> Well, when I try to use vesa as the driver it tells me that there are no devices detected
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> matelot:  compiz uses it for a lot of features. ie: Super-tab.
[02:26] <usr13> matelot: you can assign it to do what you want, like bringing up the start menu... or some other clever function of your choosing.
[02:26] <kmyst> ribot: because you need the user option in fstab
[02:26] <maximilian> i am from germany its 03:26 now xD
[02:26] <xrfang> ardchoille: that's what I did, but I hope to not load metacity at all... how to do it?  also, from the author's blog I see the screenshot have some notification icons on the bottom, but I don't have it...
[02:26] <ribot> i wrote user already kmyst , stil i dont have permissions
[02:26] <mka> losha, Dr_Willis, kmyst, jordanwb anyway thanks for the input, I am planning of sending the laptop for repairs. It's definitely hardware.
[02:27] <losha> jordanwb: odd. But google for
[02:27] <matelot> Dr_Willis, usr13, I am thinking of making 'Super+l' == Lock screen
[02:27] <matelot> like in Windoz
[02:27] <ardchoille> xrfang: Not sure, I just use the startup apps for it
[02:27] <kmyst> ribot: just do a hailmary: chmod 777 the mountpoint
[02:27] <JMONEY> install error: //filesystem.squashfs failed: invalid arguments -- can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs)
[02:27] <ribot> kmyst: i did that, and then on mounting it changed
[02:27] <losha> jordanwb: odd. But google for  'sendmail takes forever to start' and you'll find lots of things to try...
[02:27] <JMONEY> what can be the problem ?
[02:27] <ribot> kmyst: /dev/sda2       /media/DATA vfat user 0 0
[02:28] <JMONEY> I tried checking the md5sum everything ok
[02:28] <ardchoille> xrfang: Also, gnome shell is still in heavy dev, so the author may be running a version that hasn't been released yet
[02:28] <JMONEY> I even downloaded it again and burn 2 cds
[02:28] <JMONEY> still
[02:28] <mka> kmyst, what is a hailmary?
[02:28] <JMONEY> anyhelp please
[02:28] <kmyst> ribot: uh that looks right
[02:28] <mka> matelot, you can use gconf-editor for that
[02:28] <JMONEY> 9.10 i386
[02:29] <JMONEY> install error: //filesystem.squashfs failed: invalid arguments -- can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs)
[02:29] <usr13> JMONEY: What can we help you with?
[02:29] <kmyst> ribot: slang for hope that works more or less
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> JMONEY:  you could always try installing from flash drive.  I guess..
[02:29] <ribot> kmyst: that's what not worked
[02:29] <mka> !enter | JMONEY
[02:29] <JMONEY> Dr_Willis, i've done that too
[02:29] <matelot> mka, or just the 'Preference > Keyboard...' right ?
[02:29] <losha> mka: a hail mary  is a traditional Catholic prayer....
[02:29] <kmyst> ribot: when did you chmod? before or after it mounted?
[02:29] <mka> matelot, no ALT+F2 then gconf-editor
[02:30] <benjgvps> Well I don't wish to spend the entire new year's eve on something as broken as xorg, so I'll stick with what it gives me even though it is far from what I want.
[02:30] <mka> losha, oh
[02:30] <jordanwb> losha: Adding "127.0.0.1 JORDAN-SERVER.local. JORDAN-SERVER" to /etc/hosts fixed it. Thanks
[02:30] <ribot> kmyst: i unmounted it, chmodded, then it was open, then mounted, then file perms back
[02:30] <usr13> JMONEY: You may need to set boot options on your PC... but it is hard for us to tell why you are unable to boot to the install disk...
[02:30] <kmyst> ribot: right, do it after
[02:30] <losha> jordanwb: cool...
[02:30] <ribot> i ahve to cmod all files? it takes forever
[02:30] <jordanwb> losha: I did do a google search, but the wording makes all the difference.
[02:30] <xrfang> ardchoille: yes I see it is doing well, last time it is crappy and very slow, now I can even use it daily :)
[02:30] <usr13> JMONEY: That is the problem you are having, right?
[02:31] <kmyst> ribot: no just the mount point
[02:31] <roger_> where should i go for a question with alsa
[02:31] <ribot> besides, i want it to work on boot
[02:31] <JMONEY> install error: //filesystem.squashfs failed: invalid arguments -- can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs)
[02:31] <Andre> roger_: are you using ubuntu?
[02:31] <roger_> Andre yeah
[02:31] <Andre> roger_: then this is the right channel
[02:31] <roger_> ubuntu 9.04
[02:31] <usr13> JMONEY: If you have a question, please ask it.
[02:31] <losha> roger_: I believe there is a #alsa group, but you could also ask here....
[02:31] <usr13> JMONEY: We will do our best to answer.
[02:31] <roger_> ok give me a second to write
[02:32] <JMONEY> I burn the cd when i press install i get this message install error: //filesystem.squashfs failed: invalid arguments -- can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs)
[02:32] <ribot> kmyst: it doesnt seem to work, it doesnt change...besides it's fat32 drive
[02:32] <usr13> JMONEY: Here is how it works.  You ask questions.  We try our best to give you answers.
[02:32] <roger_> i have a sound blaster live 24 bit, i do a sound test and all 6 channels work, but when i play movies and music it only comes out of the front stereo
[02:32] <JMONEY> usr13, I did
[02:32] <klown> JMONEY, what format is the drive in?
[02:32] <kmyst> ribot: yes but the point which it is mounted isn't /media/DATA so chmod /media/DATA not the files inside DATA
[02:32] <JMONEY> its a CD
[02:32] <JMONEY> i burn the ISO to a cd
[02:33] <ribot> kmyst: chmod 777 /media/DATA/
[02:33] <usr13> JMONEY: Are you having trouble booting to the install CD?  (I do not know what you are asking)
[02:33] <kmyst> ribot: yep
[02:33] <JMONEY> Yes it boots
[02:33] <JMONEY> I get to the boot menu
[02:33] <JMONEY> when I hit install
[02:33] <JMONEY> install error: //filesystem.squashfs failed: invalid arguments -- can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs)
[02:33] <ribot> kmyst: after that it's drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 16384 1970-01-01 01:00 DATA
[02:34] <kmyst> ribot: can't be it should be drwxrwxrwx
[02:34] <ribot> but it is
[02:34] <Xfact> My nvidia card is doing problem on my on my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS...details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/349757/
[02:34] <Xfact> please hlp...:(
[02:34] <mka> kmyst, ribot is the filesystem FAT32?
[02:34] <ribot> mka: yes
[02:35] <mka> ribot, then chmod 777 will not work
[02:35] <kmyst> yeah your right
[02:35] <ribot> i noticed
[02:35] <mka> ribot, do this "sudo mount /media/DATA -o umask=0000"
[02:35] <kmyst> mka but it isn't honoring user either
[02:36] <Xfact> ﻿My nvidia card is doing problem on my on my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS...details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/349757/
[02:36] <mka> ribot, sorry, do this "sudo mount /media/DATA -o remount,umask=0000"
[02:36] <usr13> JMONEY: So you boot the computer with the Ubuntu install CD in the CDROM?  Right?  Tell us what you see on the screen  first?  And what ISO is it you have burnned to the CD?
[02:36] <klown> Xfact, have you installed the restricted drivers for the card?
[02:36] <mka> kmyst, what do you mean by "honoring user"
[02:36] <Xfact> ﻿ klown: yes from the hardware driver section
[02:37] <ribot> mka: doesn't work
[02:37] <JMONEY> usr13, It boots the cd I get to the BOOT menu with the options to install, try, etc.. I hit install and get the message
[02:37] <ribot> mka: i added user as option in fstab
[02:37] <kmyst> mka: to mount automatically and have his user be able to work with files instead of being root
[02:37] <mka> ribot, is this a usb flash disk?
[02:37] <ribot> mka no it's the hard drive
[02:37] <klown> Xfact, and have you installed the drivers from synaptic?
[02:38] <mka> ribot, /dev/sd what?
[02:38] <ribot> sda2
[02:38] <usr13> JMONEY: I'd say there is a problem with the CD or the CDROM.
[02:38] <mka> ribot, which user do you want to have permissions?
[02:38] <ribot> the user ribot
[02:38] <JMONEY> usr13, I even tried to install from USB stick, Hard Dick
[02:38] <JMONEY> same problem.
[02:39] <usr13> JMONEY: What is your hardware?  (What type of PC are you booting?)
[02:39] <Xfact> ﻿klown: no not from synaptic...automatically from-System>admin>hardware drivers..... (it was showing driver available..I just installed it...)

[02:40] <mka> ribot, but I like persistent filesystem to have mount points in /mnt rather than /media

[02:46] <tos> how to i start the mouse deamon
[02:46] <mka> ribot, I assumed that your uid is 1000 and your gid is 1000 (type "id" to confirm this for yourself)
[02:46] <klown> Xfact, basically, it says you need to upgrade to the 173 version of the prop. driver.
[02:46] <ribot> mka, yes
[02:46] <mka> ribot, the umask option makes sure that the permissions are rwxrwx---
[02:47] <mka> ribot, if you want rwxr-x--- then you should have umask=0027
[02:47] <tos> how to i start the mouse deamon??????????????
[02:48] <skyn3t_> hey
[02:48] <tos> for gnome
[02:48] <riverbird> JMONEY, i had a similar issue .. i ended up downloading a new iso from a different server and rebunring it.  worked fine then.  never solved the original problem ..
[02:48] <mka> ribot, and lastly, fat32 filesystem doesn't have the feature for owners/groups and permissions so these are just to fool the kernel
[02:48] <JMONEY> riverbird, i might have to do the same then
[02:49] <skyn3t_> who want become to become a good member of nice torrent TRACKER just send me PM
[02:49] <ribot> mka: i see, thanks
[02:49] <skyn3t_> i got 10 invites
[02:49] <mka> ribot, that's why trying to use chmod and chown on a fat32 drive does not work
[02:49] <ardchoille> skyn3t_: Don't post that here
[02:49] <riverbird> JMONEY, the first md5sum matched and everyhting .. no idea ..
[02:49] <skyn3t_> i just want to sahre
[02:49] <skyn3t_> share*
[02:49] <mka> geez i have to go
[02:49] <ardchoille> !ot | skyn3t_
[02:50] <tos> how to i start the mouse deamon for gnome-desktop   ??????????????
[02:51] <klown> Xfact, i found this, its more related, and it seems that you dont have to update https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[02:52] <kylecarey> my laptop died, how do i skip the fsck before the system boots?
[02:53] <blackest_knight> kylecarey:  esc
[02:54] <losha> kylecarey: skipping the fsck is usually a really bad idea. Why do you want to do this?
[02:54] <Xfact> klown: ok...
[02:54] <kylecarey> losha: well it hangs at 21%
[02:55] <losha> kylecarey: are you sure it hangs, not just a long pause when it runs? If it really hangs, the filesystem on the drive might be in really bad shape....
[02:56] <Scott1979> what comuter specs u have kyle
[02:56] <Scott1979> pentuim 3
[02:57] <jmp> do somebody know a good soft like babylon on ubuntu
[02:57] <kylecarey> well at 21% i opens a maintenance shell because of UNEXPECTED INCONSISTANCY
[02:57] <Jonesing_me> Hey guys, is it possible to use a tv tuner card to stream through a website somehow?
[02:57] <losha> kylecarey: that's a bad sign. Do you have any files on there you absolutely can't afford to lose?
[02:58] <kylecarey> losha: and when i try to run fsck in the maintenance shell i get a short read error
[02:58] <Scott1979> using vlc u can strea myour recorded video out
[02:59] <sa_zzz> najmi
[03:00] <kylecarey> losha: not really, i just installed and got compiz and AWN installed thats about it other than setting up my fingeprint scanner
[03:00] <losha> Jonesing_me: I don't see why you couldn't, it might need a lot of cpu to compress as it streams. Google for videolan server
[03:00] <sa_zzz> indonesia
[03:00] <Jonesing_me> losha, im trying to set it up so i can watch TV while at school so it will  be streaming from my home PC
[03:01] <losha> kylecarey: that's good, because worst case your filesystem is corrupted. In your place, I would boot a live cd and fsck the disk manually before rebooting....
[03:02] <kylecarey> losha: ok, ill boot a livecd and report back
[03:02] <najmi> hai sewmua
[03:02] <JMONEY> hmmm
[03:02] <najmi> ga ada orang indonesia
[03:03] <JMONEY> installin inside of windows
[03:03] <losha> Jonesing_me: kind of a d-i-y slingbox? I'm sure it's possible. Much easier to just read a book instead though :-)
[03:03] <moore> can anyone offer some assistance with plymouth on a karmic install?
[03:03] <Jonesing_me> losha,  rude man
[03:03] <tvaughn> how can i change directory if the directory name has a space in it

[03:04] <tvaughn> wait it worked this time
[03:04] <ubuntu_> has anyone had this same problem ?
[03:04] <tvaughn> thanks
[03:04] <moore> yup.

[03:05] <funghoul> ubuntu_:what version?
[03:05] <tvaughn> whats difference between > and >>
[03:06] <ubuntu_> the latest one i think
[03:06] <ardchoille> tvaughn: ">" overwrites, ">>" appends
[03:06] <tvaughn> ok
[03:06] <funghoul> tvaughn: > makes or starts a new file while >> adds to the egstiting file if there is one
[03:06] <Xfact> Guys please suggest me which is best for my system Xubuntu or Ubuntu? http://paste.ubuntu.com/349766/
[03:06] <najmi> gimana caranya join?
[03:06] <ardchoille> funghoul: ">>" works regardles of an existing file
[03:07] <ubuntu_> funghoul the latest one Im pretty sure its 9.10
[03:07] <philabole> Please anyone tell me why my mouse would stop working
[03:07] <philabole> and how to fix it
[03:07] <najmi> tolonglah............
[03:07] <losha> Xfact: either should work, but the majority of people use ubuntu, so it has the best support, so that's what I'd recommend...
[03:07] <funghoul> Do you have a copy of any of the earlier ones ubuntu_
[03:07] <ardchoille> Xfact: Ubuntu should be ok with that system
[03:08] <Xfact> thanks for suggestion guys :)
[03:08] <tvaughn> worked for what i wanted perfectly
[03:08] <tvaughn> :)
[03:08] <najmi> aku kurang ngerti bhs inggris
[03:08] <ardchoille> Xfact: That's better than the system I'm using right now and my Ubuntu is nice and fast
[03:08] <kylecarey> losha: the live fsck gives me the same errors as the system one
[03:08] <sixtila> happy new year #ubuntu
[03:08] <ubuntu_> funghoul no
[03:09] <ardchoille> !indonesia | najmi
[03:09] <Xfact> ok I will use ubuntu
[03:09] <funghoul> will is boot to the live cd ubuntu_?
[03:09] <losha> kylecarey: it doesn't prompt to allow you to choose to correct the inconsistency?
[03:09] <ubuntu_> but I've installed it in before just fine with this version I dont know whats wrong this time :/
[03:09] <tvaughn> what year is the real y2k? 2032?
[03:09] <sixtila> i think 2032
[03:10] <sixtila> he he he
[03:10] <kylecarey> losha: no
[03:10] <ubuntu_> funghouls yes I am talking to you from a live cd if thats what ur saying
[03:10] <ratonplayer> !ot losha
[03:10] <losha> !id | najmi
[03:11] <funghoul> ubuntu_ try booting into the live cd and opening gparted and formating what ever partions are on your hard drive, it could be a bad partion table, not sure, it could be a bad hard drive too
[03:11] <riverbird> 2038
[03:11] <ubuntu_> where is gparted ?
[03:11] <ardchoille> ubuntu_: should be under System > Administration on the livecd
[03:11] <funghoul> ubuntu_ look in the admin menu
[03:11] <jacob_> any good scripts out there that convert divx to iso that work with ubuntu 64 Bit
[03:12] <losha> ratonplayer: less criticism and more support would be a better use of your time...
[03:12] <manco> ubun|
[03:12] <ubuntu_> ok
[03:12] <funghoul> ubuntu_ did you find it? did it open?
[03:13] <Silnt> can i connect my cablem modem to my linux box via usb then have my built in nic to my hub for the rest of my computers? or do i need to use two nics?
[03:13] <ubuntu_> what do I do once in in there archoille and funhoul
[03:13] <kcsrnd> how do i check to see if i'm using the latest drivers for my video card?  it's an Intel GM965 Express
[03:13] <ubuntu_> funghoul yes i did
[03:13] <funghoul> format you hard drive and then try installing then.
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> Silnt:  connection via usb will be slower then a normal network cable connection.
[03:14] <Silnt> damn
[03:14] <Dr_Willis> Silnt:  i doubt if the cable modem can do both also.. best bet is to get a router.
[03:14] <losha> kylecarey: that's unusual. It implies the filesystem can't be salvaged. I guess you've no option but to boot without completing the fsck. I wouldn't trust the filesystem now that this has happened. Backup anything important and expect plan to do a reinstall in the near future....
[03:14] <ubuntu_> funghoul how do I format it ?
[03:14] <Silnt> dr: no i wanna have my linux be the main internet server so my cable modem would be connected via usb then from the built in nic would goto my linksys router for the rest of the computers
[03:15] <funghoul> ubuntu_ does it so a list of partions?
[03:15] <Silnt> i only have pci nics and my box only has 1 pci-e slot
[03:15] <ubuntu_> yeah
[03:15] <ubuntu_> funghoul yeah
[03:15] <Dr_Willis> Silnt:  that may be possible. but the usb -> pc connection will be slower then  a normal network connection
[03:15] <Silnt> i hear usb is 4-8mbs
[03:16] <Dr_Willis> Silnt:  im not even sure how well/what is needed for the cable modem -> usb connection. thats  a feature they had ages ago for people that dident have nic's..
[03:16] <Dr_Willis> Silnt:  so it may need special drivers even.
[03:16] <funghoul> ubuntu_ ty left right clicking on and editing the partion
[03:16] <losha> Silnt: why not the usual setup of cable-modem <---> linksys router <---> pcs
[03:16] <kylecarey> how would i format a hdd so that its completley empty
[03:16] <funghoul> ubuntu_ warning you will lose any thing on the partion
[03:16] <Silnt> i want linux to be the firewall/server
[03:17] <Silnt> i dont want anything getting threw to my other computers and i can control it better with linux
[03:17] <Silnt> firewall wise
[03:17] <ubuntu_> funghoul its ok I dont care, to what do I format it to ?
[03:17] <Silnt> normally i would have 2 nics in my box
[03:17] <Silnt> but i dont have a extra pci-e nic
[03:17] <Dr_Willis> Silnt:  you are assuming the cablemodem -> usb -> linux box -   will even work.. :)
[03:17] <kylecarey> how would i format a hdd so that its completley empty?
[03:18] <Andre> kylecarey: dd
[03:18] <Dr_Willis> kylecarey:  sudo mkfs.whatever /dev/whatever ,  to format
[03:18] <losha> kylecarey: mkfs will format a drive. The only trick is to get the device name correct....
[03:18] <kylecarey> thanks all
[03:18] <Dr_Willis> kylecarey:  unless you are asking how to 'securely' erase a hd..  there are tools just for that.
[03:18] <kylecarey> no
[03:19] <Silnt> linux doesnt support usb cable modems?
[03:19] <patrickchoo> hi
[03:19] <tyler_> hello
[03:19] <tyler_> and how is every one today
[03:19] <funghoul> ubuntu_ first pick your hard drive, be sure you get the right one, then erase any partions and make a new one.  I like to use 3.  one as a swap, on as the system partion and one as the home partion but one partion works just fine
[03:19] <Dr_Willis> Silnt:  No idea.. Ive never seen one used by ANYONE under linux or windows. :)   the ISP guys even said dont bother with the USB ports on the cable modems
[03:20] <losha> Silnt: feeding a cable modem to a nat router and only forwarding selected ports is pretty much the safest setup you can have (in my opinion)....
[03:20] <tyler_> hey is any one here really good with linux
[03:20] <Dr_Willis> tyler_:  whats linux? :)
[03:20] <tyler_> lol
[03:21] <ratonplayer>  I have a dream !
[03:21] <ratonplayer> that my four little PC
[03:21] <ratonplayer> live in the world
[03:21] <losha> Silnt: dunno if it's still true, but cable modem usb ports were notorious for having problems and being unreliable...
[03:21] <ratonplayer> that not bedjuges by the content of their OS
[03:21] <ratonplayer> but bu the fact they run in linux!
[03:21] <ratonplayer> i have a dream today
[03:21] <tyler_> no what i need to know is there a way i can see all the ip address connected to me in terminal
[03:21] <Silnt> hmm
[03:21] <ratonplayer> MLK ! x)
[03:22] <tyler_> any one
[03:22] <arbir> hello.. is there a separate channel for the ubuntu server ?
[03:22] <losha> tyler_: netstat -a should list all network connections....
[03:23] <funghoul> tyler the easiest way i can think of is using lynx to access your routers web page but that is pretty lame
[03:23] <ubuntu_> funghoul ok I deleted the partitions how do I create partitions ?
[03:23] <losha> arbir: I don't think so. No harm in asking your question here....
[03:23] <JMONEY> install ubuntu inside of windows but I can't install any packages..
[03:23] <ubuntu_> funghoul Im sorry im really new...
[03:23] <shawn_> What do I do if my DVD burn is stuck at "Finalising" In brasearo
[03:24] <arbir> :-) thanks losha
[03:24] <funghoul> ubuntu_ should be a command to do it in the menu, don't be afraid to play around with it
[03:24] <losha> shawn_: write off that dvd, and switch to k3b....
[03:24] <arbir> since i am dealing with a server based OS, i need to understand, how different is ubuntu server as compared with debian ?
[03:24] <tyler_> in netstat -a works but that does not show me the ip
[03:24] <shawn_> losha, K3B?
[03:24] <ubuntu_> funghoul ok thanks :)
[03:25] <losha> tyler_: netstat -an
[03:25] <funghoul> ubuntu_ the install disk should be able to fix any thing to out of wack if your partion tables are rewriten by gparted
[03:25] <tyler_> nope still nothing
[03:25] <losha> shawn_: an alternative to brasero (brasero seems to be especially buggy)
[03:26] <losha> !k3b
[03:26] <kylecarey> if you use compiz and such on a gnome is it faster than useing kde and compiz?
[03:26] <Izinucs> tyler_: ifconfig will show you stuff.. don't know if you've tried it yet or not.. ip will display
[03:28] <tyler_> ifconfig just shows u ur hardware
[03:28] <tyler_> not whats connected to u
[03:28] <losha> kylecarey: I don't know for sure, but if there were a really big speed difference, people would be shouting about how much faster it was. and that doesn't happen, so....
[03:28] <Dr_Willis> kylecarey:  kde4 dosent realluy need compiz. it has its own EyeCandy
[03:28] <Scott1979> i prefer compix on gnome
[03:29] <Izinucs> ah.. you want someting that shows what is connected to you.. not what your ip address is.. try wireshark
[03:29] <kylecarey> losha: yea, i was just wondering. im torn on weather to install ubuntu or kubuntu
[03:29] <funghoul> is there a way to exclude the local programs communicating to each other in the list you get from netstat -an?
[03:29] <tyler_> ok i have wireshark
[03:29] <Scott1979> kde is very 3d in deskto and has a wideget ovelay as default so yes u will get a slower dektop if u dont have the power in kde
[03:29] <tyler_> but how do u use it
[03:29] <dfcnvt> You want to know your external ip address? Type down ipaddress in google then click for feeling lucky
[03:29] <jmoney_> kool
[03:29] <kylecarey> thanks scott1979
[03:30] <Scott1979> is ok kyle
[03:30] <tyler_> no i want to know wht is connected to me
[03:31] <tyler_> and what there ip is
[03:31] <Scott1979> i prefer gnome and i have both kde and gnome installed
[03:31] <acovrig> is it just me or is something wrong with #php?
[03:31] <dfcnvt> I see, It is either you can use wireshark or arptable
[03:31] <benjgvps> Hey, I want to make my old PC a media player, I have Rythmbox installed though when I try to play an MP3 I get a message telling me that it can't download an encoder
[03:31] <Scott1979> are u trying to see the ips that are connected to u tyler
[03:31] <benjgvps> or it doesn't have a decodor
[03:31] <kylecarey> scott1979: i figured id go with gnome. i think its just as pretty
[03:32] <Scott1979> like booting hosts of game server
[03:32] <tyler_> YES
[03:32] <benjgvps> Can I apt-get some codec pack of some sort?
[03:32] <Scott1979> go pm kyle
[03:32] <dfcnvt> apt-get install wireshark
[03:32] <losha> tyler_: netstat -an should do it. Do you want to run netstat -an and paste the output to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com ?
[03:32] <tyler_> i have tha
[03:32] <CShadowRun> benjgvps: ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:32] <tyler_> that
[03:32] <tyler_> but how do u use it
[03:32] <CShadowRun> benjgvps: codecs, flash players, java, fonts, etc :)
[03:32] <losha> !codecs | benjgvps
[03:32] <kylecarey> can i use fdisk to format a hdd?
[03:32] <benjgvps> CShadowRun: Do you know if that will install on a PowerPC? Since it doesn't have Flash I know that
[03:32] <funghoul> benjgvps you need to enable the multiverse repositories
[03:32] <CShadowRun> benjgvps: dunno.
[03:33] <Scott1979> well pm me if u want to know hoe i boot and lagg halo 3
[03:33] <Scott1979> from ubuntu
[03:33] <acovrig> can someone try to join #php and tell me if they can, because if I try, I just get #overflow
[03:34] <losha> kylecarey: no, but you can use gparted, which is much easier....
[03:34] <funghoul> acovrig try ##php
[03:34] <acovrig> funghoul (/join ##php) same thing as (/join #php) as in same output, I join #overflow instead
[03:35] <webbb82> i just got a new laptop and it came with windows 7 , im thinking of installling ubuntu onto my external hard drive and run it that way  what about wubi install would that be a better way than installing on external hd ??
[03:35] <funghoul> I just got into it, I don't know what the problem is, but you could try another client
[03:35] <acovrig> funghoul, ok thanks
[03:36] <benjgvps> webbb82: It should work on an external drive, though Wubi isn't an awful choice for trying it out
[03:36] <riverbird> webbb82, i've heard mostly trouble with wubi.  why not just dual boot?
[03:36] <webbb82> if i go the external hd rout will it act just like a normal hard drive install i can save files and download and it saves?
[03:36] <effendi> webbb82: its about performance, which hard drive is faster.. thats my opinion
[03:37] <dfcnvt> 93 minutes to go
[03:37] <Berzerker> How do I change FireFox's Spell checking language?
[03:37] <Berzerker> It's on en-GB for some reason.
[03:37] <webbb82> i was thinking dual boot but i dunno its a bran new laptop
[03:37] <webbb82> i should just dual boot
[03:37] <Guest61796> hi.. how do i set ubuntu to resume all user running processes after a reboot or power failure?
[03:37] <effendi> even when dual-booting, itll be slower because of where ubuntu is located on your hard drive
[03:38] <effendi> the first OS is always faster
[03:38] <benjgvps> Well the links provided by the bot are useless like always, I could care less about free formats. Is there just a package with the audio codecs?
[03:38] <webbb82> i would just install it and take off windows but it didnt come with a window install cd if i ever want to go back to windows 7
[03:38] <benjgvps> webbb82: It may have a restore partition
[03:38] <webbb82> it does
[03:38] <riverbird> webbb82, what size the new hdd?
[03:38] <effendi> webbb82: sometimes manufacturers leave backup partitions with a bios that allows you to restore it to normal when pressed
[03:38] <webbb82> but would the ubuntu installer remove it when it partitions my hard drive
[03:39] <benjgvps> webbb82: It will
[03:39] <riverbird> webbb82, p
[03:39] <webbb82> so that wouldnt work
[03:39] <trism> benjgvps: ubuntu-restricted-extras has a bunch of codecs (as well as other things), or you could just install the gstreamer bad, ugly, etc packages
[03:39] <toss> hi.. how do i set ubuntu to resume all user running processes after a reboot or power failure? please help
[03:39] <webbb82> i must say windows 7 is really nice
[03:39] <benjgvps> trism: The gstreamer one seems fine. Any links for a list of them?
[03:40] <benjgvps> webbb82: It is, I'm enjoying it :)
[03:40] <riverbird> webbb82, leave 20 GB for windows and put ubuntu on the rest or vice-versa
[03:40] <benjgvps> riverbird: Will 20 GB be enough?
[03:40] <FunnyMan4595> Any idea how I can /quit
[03:40] <FunnyMan4595> Bah.
[03:40] <webbb82> ok so ill eithor dual boot or just install ubuntu onto my external hd and run it that way but what one to pick
[03:40] <FunnyMan4595> Started a question earlier, and forgot about it.
[03:40] <FunnyMan4595> I meant to do this...
[03:41] <riverbird> webbb82, ubuntu will fit on about 4 gb, so depends mostly on your files
[03:41] <trism> benjgvps: they are all of the form gstreamer0.10-plugins- (bad, ugly, bad-multverse, ugly-multiverse...that's pretty much it)
[03:41] <webbb82> im leaning more and more twords dual booting
[03:41] <kcj1993> how do i adjust my laptops display brightness? I have just removed my laptops main keyboard because it was faulty. BTW brightness panel app doesn't work
[03:41] <losha> webbb82: well, start by backing up the restore partition, in case it all goes horribly wrong....
[03:41] <benjgvps> trism: Thanks! I'll look into it
[03:42] <webbb82> now that i have a better computer i can run kde and not have it lag to the point of not useable
[03:42] <jmoney_> ok
[03:42] <webbb82> how do i backup the restore partiton
[03:42] <riverbird> webbb82, how big is the new win7 harddrive?
[03:42] <jmoney_> I got a monitor unknown
[03:42] <jmoney_> everything is all big
[03:42] <psylon> Anyone know the best backup software for ubuntu?
[03:42] <ratonplayer> 4chan , Discuss
[03:42] <trism> benjgvps: the ubuntu-restricted-extras has a few more too, if you don't want everything else, you can just do an apt-cache depends ubuntu-restricted-extras and just install the codecs there (no flash or fonts etc)
[03:43] <webbb82> did you guys know there is kde for windows
[03:43] <usr13> webbb82: A laptop without linux is like a car without tires.
[03:43] <benjgvps> webbb82: What's the point?
[03:43] <benjgvps> usr13: Hurrrr
[03:44] <webbb82> ok ill dual boot
[03:44] <usr13> webbb82: for MS Windows?
[03:44] <benjgvps> The funny thing is, battery life is awful with laptops
[03:44] <benjgvps> With linux
[03:44] <usr13> benjgvps: What?
[03:44] <webbb82> if i ever want to go back to single boot can i add the other partiton to the other
[03:45] <webbb82> or do i have to just install windows all over
[03:45] <benjgvps> usr13: I've heard stuff about the power management not being up to par
[03:45] <Dr_Willis> I find battery life is awful with every os... :) but i  just need the battery rarely
[03:45] <benjgvps> webbb82: You may have to reinstall
[03:45]  * Dr_Willis winds up his laptop.
[03:45] <kcj1993> can someone help?
[03:45] <usr13> webbb82: You can enlarge a partition with non-destructive re-partitioning software, yes.
[03:46] <webbb82> the windows 7 hd is 500 gb
[03:46] <usr13> benjgvps: You heard wrong.
[03:46] <benjgvps> Hmm
[03:46] <benjgvps> Yeah, I find gparted to be the one tool that doesn't hurt my Windows install :)
[03:46] <webbb82> benjgvps:  do u know how to boot from usb in windows
[03:46] <benjgvps> I may
[03:47] <webbb82> o
[03:47] <usr13> benjgvps: Yes, gparted is a non-destructive re-partitioning tool.
[03:47] <benjgvps> Though it isn't specific to windows
[03:47] <karma_police> why does it take so long to copy files to a flash drive in ubuntu?
[03:47] <Dr_Willis> webbb82:  in windows? Huh? i normally set teh bios to boot the usb devices..
[03:47] <webbb82> ya true
[03:47] <Blue1> karma_police: what filesystem do you have on the flash drive?
[03:47] <benjgvps> Usally there is an optioon when you boot that asks to select a boot device
[03:47] <Dr_Willis> karma_police:  i noticed the write speed seeming slow also.. but the read speeds seem faster for my flash drives.. not sure what the deal ios
[03:47] <karma_police> fat32
[03:48] <Blue1> karma_police: fat32 is slow to begin with under linux -
[03:48] <Dr_Willis> Flash drives in general do write slower then they read dont they?
[03:48] <karma_police> read speed is fine. just seems to take forever to write to it
[03:48] <Dr_Willis> karma_police:  you are not being distracted by the windows copying file animations.. so it just seems longer. :)
[03:48] <Blue1> Dr_Willis: yes that has been my experience - when I put ubuntu on the flash drive I used ext2 (no journaling) and set noatim
[03:48] <Blue1> noatime even
[03:48] <karma_police> i am sharing files with my friend and he uses windoze so i have to use fat
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> Well its bed time for me i think. bye all.
[03:49] <Blue1> karma_police: through samba?
[03:49] <karma_police> you may be right dr_wilis... maybe i should find some annoying windows theme music to play.. lol
[03:49] <usr13> Good night Dr_Willis
[03:49] <usr13> Good night all.
[03:49] <karma_police> no...sneakernet... he lives 4 houses down
[03:49] <Blue1> karma_police: ahh yes then fat32 it is...
[03:50] <karma_police> trying to convert him tho... i love ubuntu
[03:50] <Blue1> karma_police: i dunno if you can format it ntfs, whether that would be any faster -- be interesting to find out though
[03:51] <karma_police> i think gparted does ntfs.. i don't know if the write speed would be any faster tho
[03:51] <Blue1> karma_police: nor I -- but I know when I went from a journaled file system to ext2 on the usb drive it really sped up quite a bit
[03:52] <n1xyw> need help to access serial port on server from software on laptop, can it be done?
[03:52] <Blue1> n1xyw: why not use ethernet cable?
[03:52] <n1xyw> ??
[03:52] <karma_police> 9.10 uses ext4 right? with fresh install?
[03:53] <Blue1> n1xyw: serial port is slow...
[03:53] <n1xyw> Im trying to access hardware on the serial port on server, from my laptop
[03:53] <karma_police> his computer is 4 houses down and upstairs.. i am just updating his music files with mine.. helps him and me out.. hehe. he gets free music and i have a back-up solution :)
[03:53] <Blue1> karma_police: yes that's the default
[03:54] <kcj1993> no one can help me then?
[03:54] <Blue1> n1xyw: sorry I haven't used a serial port in over 6 years...
[03:54] <jianan> no 1?
[03:54] <mancos> Hey ubuntu
[03:54] <n1xyw> I guess you could call it serial port forwarding
[03:55] <mancos> Sorry power failure
[03:55] <Blue1> n1xyw: I just ssh where ever I need to --
[03:55] <n1xyw> I use ssh with kermit for simple text
[03:56] <jianan> what`s xhcat?
[03:56] <jianan> xchat
[03:56] <n1xyw> but I need to run software on the laptop that needs access to serial device on server
[03:57] <tvaughn> jianan, irc client
[03:57] <jianan> thanks
[03:57] <jianan> oh,My english
[03:57] <karma_police> dongle
[03:57] <Blue1> n1xyw: i used kermit for many many years...
[03:58] <webbb82> ok im going to dual boot
[03:58] <n1xyw> good old kermit, I guess Im showing my age
[03:58] <kcj1993> hello?
[03:58] <Blue1> howdy kcj1993
[03:58] <karma_police> what os do you have loaded first?
[03:58] <Blue1> n1xyw: indeed!
[03:58] <Blue1> karma_police: windows
[03:58] <ubuntu_> hi I need help partitioning my hard drive ... Does any one how I should go about it ?
[03:58] <webbb82> im running windows 7 rite now
[03:58] <karma_police> same here
[03:58] <kcj1993> how do i adjust my laptops display brightness? I have just removed my laptops main keyboard because it was faulty. BTW brightness panel app doesn't work
[03:59] <ubuntu_> manco ur back !
[03:59] <ganymede> hi, i was using a microsd card in read only-mode on the card reader slot on my laptop but after ejecting it and putting it back in, ubuntu no longer automounted it; said it wasn't a valid vfat partition. in hexdump, starting from byte offset 0x200, it looks like there are 4 or 5 megabytes worth of nothing but 1 bits. does that sound correct for a vfat?
[03:59] <webbb82> and ur dual booting?
[03:59] <manco_> yea
[03:59] <karma_police> i tried dualbooting with ubuntu loaded first and could never get my grub.cfg configured correctly
[03:59] <webbb82> hmm
[03:59] <Blue1> webbb82: when you run the ubuntu installer -- it will ask how big the partition should be -- what it's really asking is how much room do you want to steal from windows for ubuntu - yes I run dual boot mmmVista and Ubuntu
[03:59] <karma_police> loaded windows then ubuntu then did update grub and everything works fine
[04:00] <karma_police> 7 and ubuntu here
[04:00] <froglet> I have a problem that when I start apps, they are maximized, but I only have this problem on one machine, on the other that also runs Jaunty, the windows open to the size they were the previous time.  Is there a way to fix that?  I tried devil's pie but I can't get it working correctly
[04:00] <karma_police> only using windows because i am in tech school and have to take the windows classes
[04:00] <Blue1> :-(
[04:01] <karma_police> i hope 10.04 has a better flash alternative
[04:02] <Super_Handsomas> Hai
[04:02] <froglet> devilspie works sometimes
[04:02] <Super_Handsomas> What're the differences between apt and aptitude?
[04:02] <froglet> sometimes is not good enough  :)
[04:02] <froglet> aptitude is smarter
[04:02] <froglet> works out dependencies better
[04:02] <riverbird> for dual boot, make sure windows is on hdd first, then ubuntu - not the other way
[04:03] <Super_Handsomas> so always use aptitude?
[04:03] <karma_police> windoze eats up grub
[04:03] <froglet> riverbird: that is good advice when installing openSUSE and Ubuntu
[04:03] <froglet> Super: I try to use aptitude all the time
[04:03] <karma_police> my bet is that it in intentional.. linux is a threat to windows and they know it
[04:03] <froglet> sometimes I forget
[04:04] <riverbird> i agree
[04:04] <benjgvps> A threat to Windows? HAHAHAHAHHA
[04:04] <benjgvps> Linux has it's place
[04:04] <riverbird> froglet, sorry, not to you.  w/ suse it shouldn't matter .. eh?
[04:05] <porter1> Anyone have any good articles, commands, or tips about how to trim down and optimizer Xorg? I dcon't need a lot of the functionality included.
[04:05] <Guest7001> karma_police: Or it is an evidence of how sloppy Windows is. Not a threat. :o
[04:05] <Super_Handsomas> benjgvps: Did you not read "An open letter to hobbyists"? Bill Gates himself has always been frightened of OpenSource.
[04:05] <benjgvps> No, I haven't
[04:05] <karma_police> open sores for gates.. haha
[04:05] <froglet> riverbird: I installed Ubuntu and then openSUSE and openSUSE took over
[04:05] <Super_Handsomas> Read that and the Halloween Documents
[04:05] <riverbird> ah, good to know ..
[04:05] <froglet> riverbird: so I reversed the order and everything worked
[04:06] <benjgvps> Though Linux has it's place, It's just not ready for consumer use
[04:06] <benjgvps> Widespread
[04:06] <Super_Handsomas> benjgvps: I disagree whole-heartedly!
[04:06] <karma_police> i agree... its getting there tho
[04:06] <Super_Handsomas> With distros like Mint and Ubuntu - who can't use Linux?
[04:06] <benjgvps> It needs more hardware support
[04:06] <Super_Handsomas> Such as?
[04:06] <karma_police> an absolute point and clicker would be lost with linux
[04:06] <benjgvps> With graphics cards and such
[04:06] <Guest7001> benjgvps: There are no consumers.  It is free. :)
[04:06] <tvaughn> benjgvps, i agree
[04:06] <karma_police> windows is made for dummies
[04:07] <benjgvps> Guest7001: The hardware is purchased
[04:07] <benjgvps> By a consumer
[04:07] <Super_Handsomas> karma_police: I migrated to Windows on day having no idea what a CLI was. Now I can work Linux with the best of them.
[04:07] <tvaughn> windows holds your hand when you dont want it to
[04:07] <riverbird> hardware support is not the issue!  proprietary manufacturers are the problem
[04:07] <benjgvps> That hardware may or may not function
[04:07] <tvaughn> but hides when u need help
[04:07] <Super_Handsomas> benjgvps: I completely disagree
[04:07] <Super_Handsomas> The biggest complaints I see are on wireless cards and they rarely work on the first go anyway
[04:07] <benjgvps> riverbird: Well look at a percentage of Linux users to Windows users, they are doing the economic choice and supporting the most users
[04:07] <Super_Handsomas> riverbird: I concur
[04:08] <Super_Handsomas> benjgvps: Excellent point
[04:08] <Blue1> Super_Handsomas: well said - I had to backport to get the wireless to work reliably on my acer
[04:08] <tvaughn> how do they know who uses what
[04:08] <dfcnvt> you want to reduce the size of xorg?
[04:08] <dfcnvt> http://fluxbuntu.org
[04:08] <guiscard> me disagree too, linux can destroy the piece of shit windows
[04:08] <Super_Handsomas> tvaughn: Like companies, designed to make money, don't run demographics. *rolls eyes*
[04:08] <riverbird> supporting their own money-grubbing.  if linux users are so small, then why not release the drivers?
[04:08] <ardchoille> !ot
[04:08] <karma_police> i'm a linux noob.. been here since 9.04.. i am more familiar with windows yet i like ubuntu better...
[04:08] <benjgvps> riverbird: It takes time and money to release drivers
[04:08] <benjgvps> Which the PC needs more
[04:09] <karma_police> i enjoy the learning experience
[04:09] <riverbird> no it doesn't, just stop hiding them
[04:09] <Blue1> karma_police: my journey through linux:  http://www.pkill-9.com
[04:09] <benjgvps> If my graphics driver crashes when I try to enjoy a nice game of GTA 4 because the company is pouring resources into a minority operating system, I wouldn't be happy
[04:09] <jlc> Can somebody please tell me why mencoder cannot initialize video file?
[04:09] <ardchoille> !ot | benjgvps
[04:10] <benjgvps> Alrighty then
[04:10] <benjgvps> :)
[04:10] <tvaughn> benjgvps, lets go to OT
[04:10] <Super_Handsomas> ardchoille: You're fighting a losing battle. =P
[04:10] <jlc> correction: mencoder- cannot initialize video driver.  Anybody got any ideas?
[04:10] <ardchoille> Super_Handsomas: No I'm not :)
[04:10] <karma_police> i love open source.. i hope some day to be able to give back
[04:10] <Super_Handsomas> Seemed like it for a second! Lol
[04:11] <Super_Handsomas> karma_police: to OT
[04:11] <riverbird> ardchoille, is right.  .. !ot
[04:13] <dfcnvt> !
[04:13] <dfcnvt> !ot

[04:28] <ctmjr> !intel | Guest64973

[04:37] <philabole> ljamisonii: it was working fine after install but all of a sudden it is stuck in the middle of the screen and any of the 3 mice i plug in won't respond
[04:37] <lstarnes> Moonwalker: I don't know where you heard that, but that is absolutely not correct
[04:37] <DrManhattan> it was nice of sun to give it away for a while but it isnt like you can force them
[04:37] <lstarnes> Moonwalker: the GPL can't be revoked as far as I am aware
[04:37] <perlsyntax> hi
[04:38] <ljamisonii> philabole: have you tried keeping the mouse you've used plugged in and log out/back in or reboot?
[04:38] <Moonwalker> Please refer to the petition
[04:38] <iqbala> anyone can suggest a VCD to iPhone converter ?
[04:38] <two> is there a channel for help with screenlets
[04:38] <philabole> ljamisonii: unfortunately i have several times
[04:38] <brando753> guys how would I burn an iso image to multiple Dvd Burners
[04:38] <ardchoille> iqbala: http://handbrake.fr
[04:38] <kollektiv> im in fdisk and when i type 'p' it says Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. is there any way i can fix this?
[04:39] <ljamisonii> philabole: have you tried removing the application that you installed before it stopped working?
[04:39] <Dravekx> how do i search for an app?
[04:39] <philabole> ljamisonii: i diddn't install any thing prior to
[04:40] <ubuntu_> can someone explain to me why this : http://i48.tinypic.com/noeutc.jpg happens everytime I try to install ubuntu ?
[04:40] <ctmjr> Dravekx: aptitude search package name
[04:40] <Dravekx> thanks
[04:40] <ardchoille> Dravekx: in the package manager?
[04:41] <ljamisonii> philabole: so it was a fresh install?
[04:41] <qt-x> ubuntu_ do you every time open first gparted ?
[04:42] <ubuntu_> no
[04:42] <ubuntu_> qt-x no
[04:42] <Gaming4JC> Hey all, do you know which logs can tell me what files have been recently deleted/moved? I have a client that lost a lot of important information and has no idea what they did.
[04:43] <qt-x> i think that is the problem: no 2 app can have write access to hdd in the same time
[04:43] <iqbala> ardchoille: hadbrake is not working.. i source the /dev/sr0 but the start option is grayed out
[04:43] <philabole> ljamisonii: i have been using one windows machine and the ubuntu (the fresh install) switching the mouse and keyboard back and forth so i could troubleshoot my issue of not being able to get on the net....and be damned when i figure it out the mouse is dead
[04:43] <ubuntu_> qt-x ok Ill close it and tell u what happens
[04:44]  * Gaming4JC continues to look over log files...
[04:44] <two> im having trouble with the main menu screenlet in ubuntu 9.10, some of teh menu items wont highlight and the buttons are all squished, anyone know why?
[04:45] <ubuntu_> qt-x its doing it again ... :/
[04:45] <qt-x> than to a back and forward on install app. it should appear what you looking for
[04:45] <iqbala> ardchoille: any idea why start is grayed out.. even tho i can pick the /dev/sr0 fine
[04:45] <ljamisonii> philabole: haha...that absolutely sucks. The only other thing I can suggest is as long as you don't have anything important on your current install, remove and reinstall the ubuntu OS.
[04:45] <ubuntu_> qt-x it is still empty ...
[04:46] <philabole> ljamisonii: i thought you might say that
[04:46] <two> im having trouble with the main menu screenlet in ubuntu 9.10, some of teh menu items wont highlight and the buttons are all squished, anyone know why?
[04:46] <riverbird> philabole, mouse mounts as a device.  you should unmount it before just unplugginf it.  if you reboot with the mouse plugged in, it should be fine
[04:46] <ardchoille> iqbala: No, I've used hb for a while and never seen that
[04:46] <iqbala> ardchoille: i am using ghb
[04:46] <ljamisonii> philabole: take riverbird's suggestion haha
[04:46] <iqbala> ardchoille: i had not seen this symtom either in the past
[04:47] <IceWewe> I have an HVR-1600. Mythtv is segfaulting. Is there any way to manually watch the video stream from the card? (Digital, not analog)
[04:47] <drunkpunk> hey folks, can anyone help me change permissions for a whole heap of folders containin a hwole load more .mp3s? everything i've tried with chmod so far has been a dead end...
[04:47] <philabole> riverbird: ah...so a reinstall should do it
[04:48] <Gaming4JC> I figure I'll politely ask this again... What Logs can tell me when files have been deleted/moved? <-- somewhat important since there's a lot of data missing :s
[04:48] <riverbird> philabole, no reinstall, just reboot
[04:48] <ljamisonii> Gaming4JC: check this out...if you can't figure it out and the client knows the information they lost, this may be able to help...http://www.ehow.com/how_2064953_recover-deleted-files-linux.html
[04:48] <qt-x> ubuntu_ start over with the install
[04:48] <ctmjr> IceWewe: mplayer kaffiene vlc and not recommended me-tv
[04:48] <philabole> riverbird: already tried that
[04:49] <Gaming4JC> ljamisonii: thanks.
[04:49] <IceWewe> ctmjr, how would I play it? using mplayer on /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 doesn't work
[04:49] <ljamisonii> Gaming4JC: not a problem ^_^ I'll keep looking to see if there's anything better, but that should at least give you a start
[04:49] <IceWewe> ctmjr, I'm not talking about a file that mythtv's created, I'm talking about playing directly off the card input
[04:50] <riverbird> philabole, try rebooting with the  mouse unplugged, then plug in after youre up
[04:50] <ctmjr> IceWewe: i know what your talking about you want to watch tv
[04:50] <philabole> riverbird:sorry tried that too
[04:50] <IceWewe> ctmjr, yes, I just can't remember the command...
[04:51] <riverbird> lol.  sorry
[04:51] <riverbird> not funny
[04:51] <uiuiui> hey, does rc.local actually work on 9.10???
[04:52] <ctmjr> IceWewe: you dan try mplayer dvb:// put you should have a channel conf file
[04:52] <uiuiui> it has execute permission, it is owned by root
[04:52] <secretstory> happy new year for all :)
[04:52] <uiuiui> even added it manually by update-rc.d rc.local start 2 3 4 5.
[04:53] <uiuiui> it seems all startup scripts dont run fine
[04:53] <uiuiui> cant even get dhcp3-server to load on startup
[04:54] <qt-x>  /join #ubuntu-ro

[05:15] <marcham89> philabole: please restate your issue
[05:15] <adarsha> ok.. it worked in my system.
[05:16] <tvaughn> Drunkpunk1, try chmod -Rv 777 *.mp3
[05:16] <qt-x> chmod -R etc
[05:16] <Drunkpunk1> qt-x: tried -R with caps
[05:16] <tos_> is there a GUI user manager for ubuntu, to set quotas, limits, restrictions, etc.......?
[05:16] <qt-x> -R v
[05:17] <tvaughn> tos_, theres one under system administration i think
[05:17] <philabole> marcham89: my issue is that ubuntu will not connect on it's own...i have to configure some network settings...this is hard for me
[05:17] <tvaughn> either that o under prefrences o.o
[05:17] <Drunkpunk1> qt-x:will give it a go whats th v do?
[05:17] <tvaughn> verbose
[05:17] <tvaughn> it will annonce everything it does
[05:17] <marcham89> tos_ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=289571
[05:17] <tos_> tvaughn, do you know the name of it>?
[05:17] <qt-x> or --recursive
[05:17] <tos_> ok thanks
[05:17] <qt-x> should work
[05:18] <tvaughn> philabole, wired or wireless
[05:18] <marcham89> philabole: could you please give a bit more detail (exactly what is happening, what do you have to configure, is this wireless, etc)
[05:18] <philabole> tvaughn: wired
[05:18] <Drunkpunk1> thx guys
[05:18] <qt-x> and should be aplyed on paretn folder
[05:18] <Drunkpunk1> i'll give a go

[05:18] <philabole> marcham89: wired
[05:19] <webbb82> hey i shrank my main partiton so i could  do a dual boot setup but when i get to the partition part in the installer use unused disk space isnt there aswell as install side by side   anyone got any ideas
[05:19] <Drunkpunk1> qt-x:is it a prob that the parent folder contains a whole bunch of folders that then contain the mp3s?
[05:19] <qt-x> or "chmod [options] *" for all files in folder
[05:19] <tvaughn> Drunkpunk1,  thats the point of the -R
[05:19] <qt-x> then -R
[05:20] <qt-x> that is what manual say
[05:20] <ardchoille> I probably would have used: find /path -name "*.mp3" -exec chmod a+r
[05:21] <qt-x> only if the user dose not have the privileges to run comand well be a problem
[05:21] <philabole> tvaughn: i have run ubuntu for over a year and i know it should take to the internet naturally but it isn't....
[05:21] <tvaughn> philabole, if you dont say what your having to do exactly each time...
[05:22] <tvaughn> how is anyone supposed to help?
[05:22] <ardchoille> Drunkpunk1: Be careful of running recursive chmod that removes the x bit as that will lock you out of affected folders
[05:22]  * MrDudle brb
[05:22] <philabole> tvaughn: one minute
[05:22] <qt-x> the output of the command is of help :D
[05:22] <Drunkpunk1> ardchoille: cheers for the heads up, i'm runnin nothing straight away
[05:23] <Drunkpunk1> but this convo is bein c & v'd!

[05:26] <c3101> NOC1, what wireless adapter does your netbook have ?
[05:26] <Drunkpunk1>  ardchoille: can u explain what the chmod a+r commands do?
[05:26] <ardchoille> Drunkpunk1: changes modes on folder for all users (a) to read (r)
[05:27] <NOC1> sry what was the question again??
[05:27] <skyllo> batist
[05:27] <skyllo> to install back?

[05:27] <c3101> NOC1, what wireless adapter does your netbook have ?
[05:27] <tvaughn> hm i tried changing the port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and now if i try running ssh 127.0.0.1 it does connection refused on port 22 and if i specify the -p 20050 it says connection reset by peer
[05:27] <ardchoille> Drunkpunk1: Have a read here:  http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/08/linux-file-permissions.html
[05:28] <c3101> tvaughn, try   telnet host 20050 and see if you get ANY connection, might be a firewall problem
[05:28] <Drunkpunk1> ardchoille:readin right now
[05:28] <tvaughn> could nto resolve host
[05:28] <NOC1> wireless-n wlan minicard
[05:28] <c3101> tvaughn, well there's your problem !
[05:29] <NOC1> wat do u mean
[05:29] <tos_> any1 know how to setup a public 8 block of ips to be managed by ubuntu-server....
[05:29] <tos_> i.e. ubuntu gives ip to virtual servers....
[05:29] <tvaughn> c3101, it works if i do telnet 127.0.0.1
[05:29] <c3101> erm
[05:30] <bastid_raZor> skyllo: sudo apt-get install conky
[05:30] <c3101> tvaughn, from a remote machine, telnet to the machine's ip that is running the sshd on 20050, like such -> telnet <ip addr of the remote machine> 20050
[05:30] <tvaughn> nothing happens
[05:31] <skyllo> ok

[05:32] <ardchoille> Drunkpunk1: You might also want to bookmark this page, I update it as needed: http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/08/command-line-cheatsheet.html
[05:32] <NOC1> thanks all of u
[05:33] <tvaughn> ardchoille, ill steal that thanks
[05:33] <ardchoille> tvaughn: :)
[05:33] <NOC1> nite
[05:33] <c3101> tvaughn, if you can't connect to the remote machine via telnet, you sure aint going to connect via ssh, because there is no connection, either because of routing, firewalling, etc., first get the connection, then i'm sure it will work
[05:34] <Drunkpunk1> ardchoille:well, my learning curve just got steeper, am going to need coffee to digest this before locking myself out of my files
[05:34] <tvaughn> c3101, how can i find what the problem is though
[05:34] <handrus> good night!
[05:34] <bastid_raZor> !ssh | tvaughn read this page, it'll help troubleshoot
[05:34] <Drunkpunk1> ardchoille: tvaughn: qt-x: many thx and happy NY
[05:35] <philabole> Is there another channel that i can get help with my internet issue....i'm desperate
[05:35] <handrus> what is the right architecture for a phenom quad core on apt-build ?
[05:35] <marcham89> philabole: linux channel
[05:35] <ardchoille> Drunkpunk1: once you star using the command line, it'll get easier :)
[05:36] <bastid_raZor> handrus: which version of ubuntu is what matters. if youinstalled the 64bit or the 32bit.
[05:36] <dre> hey all happy new year
[05:36] <handrus> bastid_raZor, 64bit
[05:36] <dre> all the best
[05:37] <skyllo> How do I find the file editable in conky? I can not find the folder using CTRL + H. ..
[05:37] <bastid_raZor> handrus: 86_64x is the correct arch
[05:37] <bastid_raZor> skyllo: ~/.conkyrc ..but normally first use time you need to create it and for a .conkyrc file you need to snag an example from the conky site or create your own
[05:38] <qt-x> you're welcome
[05:38] <handrus> bastid_raZor, I just installed apt-build and its asking me the processor arch... I have nocona, core2, k8, opterom, athlon 64 etc
[05:39] <Dezine> I was wondering if anyone could tell me what script is used to power http://releases.ubuntu.com/ such as a cms of sorts of it is a custom script
[05:39] <handrus> just this options... should I just enter manually "x86_64" at /etc/apt/apt-build.conf ?
[05:45] <seenu> hi
[05:47] <dnivra> how do I install new login screen themes in karmic? In jaunty it was just a matter of selecting the source file from System->Admn->Login windows. I asked in #tango but no response; was just wondering if anyone knew how to do so here.
[05:48] <qt-x>  dnivra: gdmsetup command i guse
[05:48] <wowoto> dnivra: download the login theme ，then install it
[05:49] <dnivra> qt-x: nope the gdmsetup aint it; it's same as System -> Admn -> Login Screen. nothing there to choose the source.
[05:50] <dnivra> wowoto: I thought so too; but small issue - no configure script or anything in the source!
[05:50] <qt-x> drag ther the sorce
[05:51] <digitalchemist> Hey, I need a way to get a transparent gnome-panel. Using compiz's opacity plugin is a non-solution (it makes the icons and text transparent). Adjusting the background transparency with gnome-panel doesn't show windows that move under the panel, so it's not true transparency. So, wtf... ?
[05:51] <dnivra> qt-x: are you using karmic? or some other version?
[05:52] <qt-x> I did so on 9.4 and work
[05:52] <sepehr> planning on installing XP to dual boot with my current ubuntu karmic, i am well aware that windows will wipe out grub, but have no idea how to restore grub2 and have it with both windows and karmic boot options
[05:52] <qt-x> in gdmsetup chose login screen tab
[05:53] <qt-x> then drag there
[05:53] <dnivra> qt-x: that's in jaunty. this is what gdmsetup looks like in karmic if it's of any help. http://yfrog.com/jkscreenshotloginscreensep
[05:53] <Izinucs> sepehr: you doing this to play games?
[05:53] <sepehr> many reasons
[05:54] <LinuxPhreak> I need help getting compiz-fusion to work on Dell Inspiron 8500 laptop. I've installed restricted drivers but not sure if they need to be configured or how to configure them. I've also ran sudo compiz and sudo compiz --replace and got some messages saying thinngs didn't pass
[05:54] <Izinucs> sepehr: if not games then you might consider installing in virtualbox instead.. you won't have the grub issues and you'll have access to windows within ubuntu without rebooting
[05:55] <qt-x> so it is not like this ? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/Gdmsetup.png
[05:55] <dnivra> qt-x: be right back alright.
[05:56] <sepehr> i already have virtual box and most wine software out there (ie: playonlinux, crossover linux, cedega, wine doors) but i actually need windows for reasons where virtualbox and wine cant just cut it
[05:56] <wowoto> dnivra: you can  download the gdm from here ： http://dlc.sun.com/osol/jds/downloads/extras/  then install it      hope you like it
[05:56] <skyllo> I see that all drivers are installed?
[05:57] <Izinucs> sepehr: well all I can do unfortunately is have ubottu give you the grub link
[05:57] <skyllo> card drivers?
[05:57] <Izinucs> !grub2 | sepehr
[05:57] <sepehr> thx il check it out
[05:58] <LinuxPhreak> can anyone help me install compiz on my Dell Inspiron 8500
[05:58] <skyllo> I see that all drivers are installed?
[05:58] <coz_> LinuxPhreak,  do you have ubuntu installed along with the video driver?
[05:59] <LinuxPhreak> I have Ubuntu 9.10 and nvidea restricted drivers activated
[05:59] <coz_> LinuxMercedes,  ok did you reboot the system after installing the nvidia drivers?/
[05:59] <LinuxPhreak> yes
[06:00] <skyllo> I see that all drivers are installed?
[06:00] <coz_> LinuxPhreak,  ok is this gnome?
[06:00] <LinuxPhreak> accoring to my drivers spot in ubuntu they are active
[06:00] <ardchoille> skyllo: What is your issue?
[06:00] <musikgoat> Happy New Year!
[06:00] <LinuxPhreak> yes most recent Gnome
[06:00] <coz_> LinuxMercedes,  ok open system/preferences/appearance  Visual effects tab
[06:00] <coz_> LinuxMercedes, xorry
[06:00] <LinuxMercedes> coz_: that's fine =]
[06:01] <coz_> LinuxPhreak,  open system/preferences/appearance visual effects tab
[06:01] <skyllo> just want to see if all drivers are installed
[06:01] <coz_> LinuxPhreak,  tell me if anyoption is already ticked
[06:01] <skyllo> ardchoille just want to see if all drivers are installed
[06:01] <ardchoille> skyllo: It would benefit you to ask a specific question and give info about your issue
[06:01] <LinuxPhreak> I see the following
[06:02] <LinuxPhreak> None, Normal, Extra none of them are marked
[06:02] <LinuxPhreak> should I check exta
[06:02] <coz_> LinuxPhreak,  ok mark  extra or normal
[06:02] <dnivra_> qt-x: can you give the link you gave me once more; the scrollback didn't get saved since my original nick's still here.
[06:02] <qt-x> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/Gdmsetup.png
[06:03] <coz_> LinuxPhreak,  you most likely want to install  ccsm       sudo apt-get install compiz-config-settings-manager
[06:03] <skyllo> ardchoille My problem is I do not know how to see this information only that
[06:03] <LinuxPhreak> ok should I give it a shot?
[06:03] <qt-x> is like this ?
[06:03] <coz_> LinuxPhreak,  sorry that is    sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[06:03] <dnivra_> qt-x: oh no that's jaunty. mine is like the link I gave you.
[06:03] <coz_> LinuxPhreak,  yes tick extra and see if anything works and also install ccsm
[06:03] <kmyst> anybody use a keyfile to unlock a luks encrypted drive?
[06:03] <coz_> kmyst,  sorry I dont
[06:04] <Trezker> Problem: I just installed libboost-dev, but the program I'm trying to build still doesn't find the boost libs
[06:04] <Izinucs> LinuxPhreak: put it on normal or extra then install the package coz_ mentioned
[06:04] <dnivra_> qt-x: just in case; here's the link again. http://img704.yfrog.com/i/screenshotloginscreense.png/
[06:04] <LinuxPhreak> ok set to normal just installed
[06:04] <coz_> LinuxPhreak,  ok  now under  system/preferences//   open compizconfig settings manager or
[06:05] <coz_> LinuxPhreak,  from terminal just type     ccsm
[06:05] <skyllo> ardchoille My problem is I do not know how to see this information only that
[06:05] <Izinucs> LinuxPhreak: you trying to get the "cube" working?  if so you'll need to change the setting to extra
[06:05] <skyllo> ardchoille help me?
[06:05] <LinuxPhreak> already ahead bof you on this one. I've used in past on other computers just not this
[06:05] <coz_> LinuxPhreak,  ah cool :)
[06:06] <itsnotstalking> wtf is with firefox dieing and not finding anything for short periods all the time
[06:06] <skyllo> I see the status of the card drivers?
[06:07] <itsnotstalking> the internet works fine, just FF
[06:07] <xiong> I recently upgraded to 9.10. There used to be a panel applet in the upper-right which allowed me to switch users, restart/shutdown/logout, and even set my ICQ status. Now it's gone and 'Add to Panel' doesn't seem to have that thing anymore -- only about three things that collectively do some of the same stuff. What have I done? What can I do?
[06:08] <xiong> It would help if I could remember the name of the old applet/menu.
[06:08] <dnivra> anyone know how to install login screen themes in karmic? I've downloaded the tarballs but they don't have any configure scripts and I find no way to install them from System-> Admn -> Login Screen like it's possible in Jaunty.
[06:09] <kmyst> xiong: i'm on intrepid and it is called user switcher
[06:09] <coz_> dnivra,   well if you mean gdm themes   I do indeed but you really cant install gdm themes anymore if you are on ubuntu karmic
[06:09] <danny> Does anyone know why searches from the Ubuntu start page are not showing up in my Google History page?
[06:10] <xiong> kmyst, Thank you. 'User Switcher' is one of the things still available but it's not like the old one.
[06:10] <xiong> kmyst, At least I will have a starting point for tracking down the change.
[06:10] <coz_> dnivra,  actually the more gtk2 themes you have installed the more variation in gdm themes you can have as well
[06:10] <dnivra> coz_: yeah gdm; didn't know the term. can't install them any more? great!
[06:10] <itsnotstalking> danny, do you reall y want that freaky shit show up up in there?
[06:10] <coz_> dnivra,   ok  lets test it first   ...open a terminal
[06:10] <kmyst> xiong: np, haven't upgraded past intrepid myself due to having ati vid card and losing advanced video capabilty...or so i've read
[06:11] <danny> Yes, I really do! And I forgot to mention that all of my browsing is showing up there but not my searches.
[06:11] <dnivra> coz_: yeah I'm in a terminal. what should I do?
[06:11] <coz_> dnivra,  then copy and paste t his next command by highlighting it here and simply middle clicking inside the terminal window     gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties
[06:12] <sunil2> while opening word processor i'm getting "The application cannot be started.
[06:12] <sunil2> OpenOffice.org user installation could not be completed due to insufficient free disk space. Please free more disc space at the following location and restart OpenOffice.org:  /home/sunil/.openoffice.org/3"
[06:12] <coz_> dnivra,  what will open is the gnome control center and you choose one of the gtk2 themes   then close out of that and restart x or log out and back on  I think the log off should do it
[06:12] <sunil2> how to solve this problem?
[06:12] <lstarnes> sunil2: you're probably out of disk space
[06:12] <dnivra> coz_,  be right back.
[06:12] <xiong> kmyst, Now I'm trying to remember why I fooled with a working system.
[06:12] <coz_> dnivra,  ok
[06:13] <shawn_> Happy new years to those that it applies to!
[06:13] <kmyst> xiong: i know the feeling
[06:13] <sunil2> then how to proceed now????
[06:13] <ljamisonii> sunil2: it's quite simple...free up some space at the given location.
[06:13] <lstarnes> sunil2: get some more disk space
[06:13] <lstarnes> sunil2: try opening a terminal and typing df -h
[06:14] <coz_> dnivra,  so?
[06:14] <dnivra> coz_: the login screen was the same.
[06:14] <joshua__> Sorry to bother everyone, but could someone help me with doing this?
[06:14] <dnivra> coz_: what was supposed to happen?
[06:14] <joshua__> http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.24.8.html
[06:14] <coz_> dnivra,  ok lets be sure you went to the right place and chose the correct thing
[06:14] <joshua__> I need to install the Linux driver forRadeon Mobility X1600
[06:14] <coz_> dnivra,  open system/preferences/appearance
[06:14] <joshua__> *ATI Radeon Mobility X1600
[06:15] <lstarnes> !radeon | joshua__
[06:15] <lstarnes> joshua__: have you tried using ubuntu's official packages for the drivers?
[06:15] <coz_> dnivra,  when that opens click the "Customize" button  then the "Controls"  tab
[06:15] <sepehr> joshua__: also note that the fglrx drivers wont work on karmic
[06:15] <coz_> dnivra,  that is where you make the change however  it cant be done until you use that command to opne the appearance properties
[06:16] <dnivra> coz_ you want a screen shot? i get a window with the old theme selected.
[06:16] <joshua__> I tried, but apparently the default gpu driver ubuntu provides doesn't support my GFX card.
[06:16] <coz_> dnivra,  ok did you follow those last directions?
[06:16] <coz_> dnivra, let me show you hold on
[06:16] <dnivra> coz_: sure thing. they made no sense:).
[06:16] <sepehr> joshua__: what version of ubuntu r u running?
[06:16] <dnivra> coz_, were you referring to the earlier command you gave?
[06:17] <wowoto> ..
[06:17] <coz_> dnivra,  yes hold on
[06:17] <dnivra> coz_, sure thing
[06:17] <joshua__> Latest one.
[06:17] <coz_> dnivra,   ok take a look at this   http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screenshot1.png
[06:18] <fiber> hello... i just transfered my ubuntu install to another harddrive but now when i boot it says "grub harddisk failure".  What i did (in order) was a) use cpio to make a direct copy of hd a to hd b b) installed grub on the other hd by doing "grub-install /dev/sdb" c) changed the uuid's in /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst.  did i miss anything?  any ideas?
[06:18] <itsnotstalking> does anyone who uses firefox notice it dies for a few minutes sometimes, with no explanation
[06:18] <itsnotstalking> ?
[06:18] <itsnotstalking> i shoud just switch browsers
[06:19] <sepehr> joshua__: well ur out of luck since ati doesnt support the latest verion of xorg that ships with 9.10 so ur gona have to use the opensource drivers (they are actually better in every way except 3D)
[06:19] <coz_> dnivra,  when you use that dbus command I gave earlier it will also open the  appearnace properties as root....then you click the  "Customize" button  and under the "Controls" tab  just choose one of the gtk2 themes you want as your login screen colours
[06:19] <joshua__> Hrm... Where would I find the open source driver?
[06:19] <dnivra> coz_, alright. going to do it, logout and log back in. hold on ok.
[06:19] <coz_> dnivra,   as you see on my screenshot
[06:19] <dnivra> coz_: crystal clear. let me try.
[06:19] <coz_> dnivra,   I chose   balanzan as the gtk2 theme and again with that command the balanzan theme again
[06:20] <sepehr> joshua__: so if ur planing on same kind of gaming performance as with ati drivers well u could use an older version i guess however u still get some 3d (things like compiz should still work fine)
[06:20] <kmyst> fiber: unique approach, but why not just dd the drive? i haven't tried it precisely your way but it'd "seem" that you did what i would have done...harddisk failure is all it says?
[06:20] <dnivra> coz_: you changed the theme as root and also as the normal user?
[06:20] <xiong> kmyst, The real name of the thing *may* be 'indicator-applet-session'.
[06:20] <joshua__> I'm not planning on doing massive gaming, but one of the java games I play crashes because there is no driver for the GPU.
[06:21] <shawn146> hello
[06:21] <coz_> dnivra,   well choose as user the theme you want for your system  but
[06:21] <sepehr> joshua__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver the how to is pretty detailed just entering those lines into terminal should do it
[06:21] <joshua__> I just need any driver that woiuld work with it.
[06:21] <kmyst> xiong: hey good to know if i ever upgrade! i use that applet like crazy
[06:21] <shawn146> i am havign some trouble with ubuntu
[06:21] <fiber> kmyst: i didn't dd because the drives are different (one is 300GB the other is 1.5TB)... and all it says it HD failure right before getting to the menu, nothing else
[06:21] <dnivra> coz_, just thought I should tell you that the theme is what I chose earlier when I ran the command you gave me.
[06:21] <coz_> dnivra,  with that dbus command  choose the theme you want as log in screen
[06:21] <xiong> kmyst, I have yet to restore it to panel. 'man' doesn't work.
[06:21] <joshua__> So I just run all that stuff?
[06:21] <coz_> dnivra,  it should work well but I will try it again when you try once more and it doesn work
[06:21] <kmyst> fiber: yeah but you could dd then expand the partition to take up the extra space
[06:21] <sunil2> the out put of "df -h"  is
[06:21] <sunil2> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

[06:21] <dnivra> coz_, yeah with the dbus command you gave me, the theme is another one - the one I chose before logout. I will do it once more sure.
[06:22] <coz_> dnivra,  then restart x
[06:22] <dnivra> coz_, be right back.
[06:22] <kmyst> fiber: tis what i did with my 160 to 500gb drive in the laptop
[06:22] <fiber> kmyst: i had thought about that... but in the end it's just as far out there as my approach! the UUID's would have had to be modified anyways right?
[06:22] <shawn146> i am having problems with Xv under Karmic and i have an i915 as my gpu
[06:22] <squidly> happy new year
[06:23] <kmyst> xiong: huh...but that's what it's called now?
[06:23] <kmyst> fiber: actually come to thnk of it i didn't mod my uuid's
[06:23] <shawn146> ?
[06:23] <shawn146> can anybody help me?
[06:23] <mbb> looking for suggestions for a USB headset that will work, running Hardy.
[06:23] <joshua__> sepehr: if I setup SSH access, would you be able to do it for me?
[06:23] <joshua__> I'm not too good with this stuff.
[06:23] <sunil2> my paste bin url is "http://paste.ubuntu.com/349823/"
[06:23] <wowoto> fiber: use /dev/sdaX  instead of uuid
[06:24] <sunil2> now tell me how to free up my disc space
[06:24] <dnivra> coz_, yeah it did change. but what if I want it to be like the ones i downloaded. think I should just install them as if they were normal themes and not login screen themes?
[06:24] <fiber> kmyst: strange... i was under the impression that UUID depended on the actual HD not the any modifiable data
[06:24] <kmyst> fiber: try specifying the /dev instead of using uuid's
[06:24] <shawn146> hello?
[06:24] <fiber> wowoto: kmyst: where would you recommend I do this?
[06:24] <coz_> dnivra,  then you have to NOT download the  gdm themes but instead a new  gtk2 theme
[06:24] <ocTobafust> #msg
[06:24] <xiong> kmyst, Now I think I was wrong, sorry. I may be chasing a dead end.
[06:24] <wowoto> sunil2: 1 reinstall  2 mount a file to enlarge it
[06:25] <wowoto> fiber: maybe in  :   /etc/fstab
[06:25] <shawn146> hello?
[06:25] <coz_> dnivra,  customization has been severly  cut down with this new approach
[06:25] <coz_> shawn146,   are you trying to play videos?
[06:25] <fiber> wowoto: nah, it's not getting that far
[06:25] <kmyst> fiber: iirc i just went from a gutsy install, did the dd/resize then upgraded to hardy then intrepid and that was it
[06:25] <shawn146> yes coz_
[06:25] <coz_> shawn146,  which player are you using?
[06:25] <dnivra> coz_, let me try one more of those so called "gdm" themes.
[06:25] <fiber> kmyst: i just may do that... luckily i still have the original
[06:25] <shawn146> Totem
[06:25] <wowoto> fiber: o ,sorry..
[06:26] <coz_> dnivra,   no no no  no gdm themes will work anymore
[06:26] <shawn_> I have two SATA hard drives plugged into an old MSI that has both IDE and SATA ports and it used to always ruN IDE but now I just plugged in two SATA drives but Ubuntu install CDs are not seeing them
[06:26] <emanux> Happy New Year to everyone :)
[06:26] <ocTobafust> --help
[06:26] <fiber> wowoto: no worries, thanks trying though
[06:26] <coz_> dnivra,  ONLY  gtk2 themes
[06:26] <kmyst> fiber: in the fstab and most likely grub's menu.lst
[06:26] <emanux> has anyone try google chrome?
[06:26] <shawn_> emanux, You too
[06:26] <dnivra> coz_, so is it possible to install the gdm themes as gtk2 themes? some workaround?
[06:26] <kmyst> xiong: well if you figure it out let me know
[06:26] <coz_> emanux,  I use chromium here
[06:26] <shawn146> coz?
[06:27] <dnivra> coz_, I'll check it out and see if it's possible to pass of a gdm as a gtk2.
[06:27] <fiber> kmyst: ok, i may have found some other clue... when trying to grub-install it again i get "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device."
[06:27] <coz_> dnivra,  no not that I am aware of ...as I said customizatioin is severly limited on this new version
[06:27] <emanux> coz_: how was it?
[06:27] <xiong> kmyst, I'm thinking that a LTS is scheduled for April.
[06:27] <coz_> emanux,  its fast of course but I found a bug ..at least on this system..where full screen flash will not go fullscreen
[06:27] <kmyst> fiber: good clue
[06:27] <coz_> emanux,  but flash is working with it much much better than on firefox
[06:28] <dnivra> coz_, wish I'd stuck with Jaunty. First dsl didn't work and now customisation. just great.
[06:28] <xiong> kmyst, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/universe-bugs/2009-July/107765.html
[06:28] <coz_> dnivra,  yeah this new approach is very irritating to say the least but I dont think it is going to go back
[06:28] <shawn146> testing
[06:28] <kmyst> xiong: well currently i'm out of luck with video if i upgrade again so i'm holding out trying to make something work on my spare drive before i commit full time
[06:28] <dnivra> coz_, yeah the gdm ones don't work. Damn the look so cool. wish they worked worked.
[06:28] <emanux> coz_, ic...it is not available in ubuntu repo right?
[06:28] <shawn146> can anyone hear me?
[06:28] <coz_> emanux,  hold on I think I have the  dep link
[06:29] <dnivra> coz_, no no no! man this is so irritating. Ubuntu's becoming restrictive like win is now.
[06:29] <knuck887> ? f-spot crashes on start up. any suggestions on how to fix it
[06:29] <shawn146> ...
[06:29] <coz_> emanux,    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main    and   deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
[06:29] <dnivra> coz_, but yeah well it's still can do stuff win can't. but they're chopping everything down.
[06:30] <shawn146> -e
[06:30] <kmyst> fiber: did you cpio /boot when you did all that?
[06:30] <coz_> dnivra,  well I believe there were valid reasons this occurred  however irritiating it is :)
[06:30] <emanux> coz_ , thanks...i will give it a shot
[06:30] <shawn146> can anybody help me with an Xv issue with karmi
[06:30] <shawn146> *karmic
[06:31] <fiber> kmyst: yessir.... and stage1 is safe and in its correct place (/boot/grub/stage1)
[06:31] <dnivra> coz_, I guess so; people who make Ubuntu what it is; put a lot of thought. Gotta hand it to team Ubuntu.
[06:31] <coz_> shawn146,  you are trying to play videos correct?   which player are you using ?   totem.,.. mplayer...vlc?
[06:31] <kmyst> fiber: out of curiousity what options did you feed cpio?
[06:31] <shawn146> yes i said totem
[06:32] <morphias> dnivra, you got to remember, that canocial tries to cater ubuntu to be useable by people "who just want their computer to work".  somtimes they restrict things that they may perceive "unstable" :-P
[06:32]  * morphias wishes he could spell
[06:33] <silv3r_m00n> is there any software using which I can use my ftp server as a online storage across computers.....similar to dropbox ?
[06:33] <dnivra> morphias: which of course is a large section of the people who want their computer to do so. Too few would like to crash their computers like we do right?
[06:34] <shawn146> sorry coz_ i accidentally closed the terminal
[06:34] <shawn146> i am a noob to ubuntu
[06:34] <wowoto> silv3r_m00n: can "vsftpd" do ?
[06:34] <coz_> shawn146,  no problem
[06:34] <silv3r_m00n> that's a ftp server I guess
[06:35] <raymond> Hi everyone and Happy New Year. I am unable to get my networking working between my home computers. I can "see" the other computers an the hub/modem (Netgear DG834GUv5 - Runs as samba server) on the network via  Places>network but get an "unable to receive share list" error. I have installed Samba and also smb4k. I can also see the computers with that (And have set up (tried to) samba drives...
[06:35] <shawn146> and i need to get this movie running before its too late tonight
[06:35] <raymond> ...which I can see, but I get an error 13 (Permission denied). These drives are NTFS (I've migrated from an XP Pro system)
[06:35] <silv3r_m00n> I need a tool which can turn my ftp space into a hardrive.....so that when someone else puts files there they get syncronised to a local folder automatically
[06:35] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, rsync
[06:35] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, or symlinks, I'm not sure which might work better
[06:35] <fiber> kmyst: i cannot find it... i found the exact command online on some blog
[06:35] <coz_> shawn146,  ok did you install   ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[06:35] <shawn146> no wats that
[06:36] <morphias> dnivra, well i hardly know anything about computers other than what i read in readmes' and im sorry you experience lockups, but i haven't.
[06:36] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Are you looking for it to get syncronized automatically everytime a file is added?
[06:36] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: exactly
[06:36] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, symlinks
[06:36] <silv3r_m00n> something that a service called dropbox does
[06:36] <brianherman> ldap?
[06:36] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, I am vaguely familiar with dropbox.  Do you know what a symlink is?
[06:37] <kmyst> fiber: hmm well i suppose since the data is there the stumble point was installing grub as you said right?
[06:37] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: no I don't
[06:37] <fiber> kmyst: correct
[06:37] <dnivra> coz_, or anyone who does know; how do I revert to the old login screen?
[06:37] <sepehr> um im using Quassel IRC and just accidentally turned off the menu bar...how do i get it back
[06:37] <silv3r_m00n> brianherman: ldap
[06:37] <kmyst> fiber: what was the error?
[06:37] <silv3r_m00n> brianherman: has it a gui ?
[06:37] <coz_> dnivra,  same way just choose the  original gtk2 theme
[06:37] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Alright, let me get things straight first so I can be of more help.  You have an FTP server running on ubuntu right?  And that server has some folder.  Inside that folders are all the things shared correct?
[06:37] <Psinetic> ubuntu 9.10 64bit, how do i get a list of all the software i've installed?
[06:38] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: exactly
[06:38] <kmyst> Psinetic: like just the packages installed?
[06:38] <dnivra> coz_, yeah I know that; but any idea what is the default gtk2 theme?
[06:38] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, You have another folder that you want basically to be an exact copy of the ftp folder?
[06:38] <Psinetic> kmyst, i'm about to reinstall windows on here and use ubuntu on a VM and need to get a list of all the software i've installed so i can reinstall it later
[06:38] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: exactly
[06:38] <coz_> dnivra,    HumanLogin
[06:39] <dnivra> coz_, thanks.
[06:39] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, What is the name of the ftp folder and the other folder?
[06:39] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: and this folder must be syncronised across multiple computers
[06:39] <morphias> Psinetic, you can click APPLICATIONS -> UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTER and after that loads use the drop box to "Installed packages"
[06:39] <RichardH> sliv3r_m00n rsync sound like what you need
[06:39] <coz_> dnivra,  no problem
[06:39] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: on server its pfiles and on local system it cud be a folder in the home of a user
[06:39] <slinkeey> Just  stopped in to see how many people were not partying
[06:39] <slinkeey> hehee
[06:39] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, pause, the folders are on two different computers?
[06:39] <RichardH> well, there may be a problem if you sync to multiple computers
[06:39] <iOmlette> Everyone? :P
[06:40] <slinkeey> hehehe
[06:40] <kmyst> Psinetic: sudo dpkg --getselections | grep '[[:space:]]install$' | awk '{print $1}' > package_list should dump out everything into the file package_list and you could be able to cat package_list | xargs sudo apt-get install to rebuild the system
[06:40] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: the ftp is on my webhost .... and a folder on my pc , another pc , and another pc etc
[06:40] <ardchoille> Psinetic: dpkg --get-selections > /path/selectionfile   #This gets a list of all packages installed
[06:40] <dnivra> slinkeey: guess some have crossed over already to 2010 long ago. I did 12 hours ago.
[06:40] <kmyst> Psinetic: that's how i'd do it
[06:40] <ardchoille> Psinetic:  sudo dpkg --set-selections < /path/selectionfile && apt-get dselect-upgrade   (This installs packages from an exported list
[06:41] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Is this webhost a personal computer in your home?  All the pc's in question are ubuntu?
[06:41] <slinkeey> trueture
[06:41] <kmyst> Psinetic: i typo'd that's --get-selections not --getselections
[06:41] <slinkeey> well later all
[06:41] <Psinetic> uh, so which one do i do? :S
[06:41] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: webhost is on a web server.... and pcs are mix of windows and ubuntu
[06:41] <ardchoille> Psinetic: Read the end comments in my replies
[06:41] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, The webhost is some remote server?  You have what kind of access to it?  Only ftp ?
[06:42] <silv3r_m00n> yah remote server..... I have the cpanel of it , ftp of it etc
[06:42] <Psinetic> ardchoille, how do i know where /path/selectionfile is?
[06:42] <ardchoille> Psinetic: you set that to whatever you want
[06:42] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, That is a toughie, so you want to sync a local folder with the ftp folder.  Is that right?
[06:42] <ardchoille> Psinetic: it just dumps a list to that file
[06:42] <Psinetic> ah ok
[06:42] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: exactly
[06:42] <Psinetic> thanks ardchoille and kmyst
[06:42] <Psinetic> :)
[06:42] <silv3r_m00n> and it shud be automatic
[06:43] <ardchoille> Psinetic: but you have to use that same file when you install later
[06:43] <silv3r_m00n> may be a service needs to run on all computers to check for new files every now and he
[06:43] <silv3r_m00n> then*
[06:43] <silv3r_m00n> I just need a clone of dropbox ...using my own ftp space
[06:43] <sepehr> would any1 know how to get back the menu bar on kde apps after u accidentally hide it?
[06:43] <burzki> silv3r_m00n, no expert here, but could you set it up as couchdb?
[06:43] <dnivra> ardchoille: about that command; when I do it there are a few labelled "deinstall". will there be any consequences of those when I do reinstall the packages?
[06:43] <silv3r_m00n> couchdb  ?
[06:44] <emanux> coz_, i just installed chromium and fire up youtube
[06:44] <ardchoille> dnivra: I've never had any problems with that command
[06:44] <emanux> when i hit full screen, it goes full screen
[06:44] <fiber> kmyst: ok, i'm gonna restart and test something.... brb
[06:44] <burzki> silv3r_m00n, couch database is what the ubuntuOne cload platform is based on, platform neutral
[06:44] <dnivra> ardchoille: alright; just clearing a doubt I had that's all. thanks.
[06:44] <kmyst> fiber: k good luck
[06:44] <coz_> emanux,  cool
[06:45] <emanux> yeah really cool, thanks
[06:45] <burzki> *cloud
[06:45] <ardchoille> dnivra: It should be ok, I got that command on the advice of veteran linux users
[06:45] <edbian> silv3r_m00n,  I am not aware of couchdb.  It is tough to get things to automatically sync without more access to the ftp server.  You could write a cron job that runs a script every hour or something.  Then the script could check the ftp server and sync things for you on your network. but instant updates is hard without access to the server.
[06:46] <dnivra> ardchoille: oh cool! I was told to use the one I said from this very channel. so was wondering if there's any difference between the two.
[06:46] <silv3r_m00n> there is access to server .... ??
[06:46] <ardchoille> dnivra: What was yours again?
[06:46] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Can you write a script to run on the server?  What OS is the server running?
[06:46] <silv3r_m00n> centos
[06:46] <silv3r_m00n> I can run cronjob on server
[06:46] <burzki> silv3r_m00n, http://couchdb.apache.org/
[06:47] <silv3r_m00n> I don't think the server needs anything.... there needs to be a local utility on all pcs
[06:47] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n what edbian is saying is that you will probably need root access to install or configure stuff
[06:47] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: on server or on local computers ?
[06:47] <silv3r_m00n> on local computers I have root on all
[06:47] <dnivra> ardchoille: sorry connection started lagging severely. it's "sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall:
[06:48] <silv3r_m00n> and server is a remote ftp
[06:48] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, I'm reading and thinking about how to do this
[06:48] <Psinetic> ardchoille, it keeps telling me it's a directory, what is the file extention i should use when exporting?
[06:48] <ardchoille> dnivra: hmm.. never seen or heard that one
[06:48] <alkisg> Xorg.conf isn't used/needed by default, so what's a good way to select a certain resolution per machine (not per user)? I've put an `xrandr` call to /etc/gdm/Init/Default and that works for me, but isn't there any better way?
[06:48] <ardchoille> Psinetic: you can use .txt
[06:48] <silv3r_m00n> I thot there must be some tools for this already on linux
[06:48] <Psinetic> k thanks
[06:48] <dnivra> ardchoille, same as yours except that the entries labelled "deinstall" aren't selected.
[06:49] <sabgenton> can i install ubuntu-9.10-server-i386.iso to usb?
[06:49] <sabgenton> image / whateverf
[06:49] <sabgenton> -f
[06:49] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, server.  if you have something on each computer, all you may be able to do is run a program to connect to the server using ftp and then download the files.  The problem is when the same file gets edited on more than one computer.  You will not be able to merge the change data
[06:49] <dnivra> ardchoille, if you've uninstalled a lot of apps, then try the command out and diff it with "sudo dpkg --get-selections"
[06:49] <c3101> !usb-creator-gtk @sabgenton
[06:49] <silv3r_m00n> merging is not necessary.......a file may be locked or overwritten....thats totally fine
[06:50] <RichardH> the issue is that the server only gives you ftp access (port 21).  So, your solution isn't to sync but to ftp files back and forth.
[06:50] <silv3r_m00n> neither wud there be any online editing as such
[06:50] <sabgenton> c3101: i am using that on windows
[06:50] <silv3r_m00n> yah
[06:50] <sabgenton> and it says md5sum fail
[06:50] <ardchoille> dnivra: Ah, ok
[06:50] <c3101> sabgenton, then your download of the iso was not succesfull
[06:50] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, RichardH The tough part is having the computer re-sync everytime the ftp folder is modified.
[06:50] <RichardH> I haven't seen any ftp software that will get changed files and then upload changes
[06:51] <silv3r_m00n> the thing is , every employee wud be given a folder and he must put all code and updates in his folder so that the box can view
[06:51] <RichardH> you will either get all the files or upload all files
[06:51] <silv3r_m00n> boss*
[06:51] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, You could very easily write a script that automatically mounts the ftp server, copies everything to a local folder, and unmounts and run it via 1 terminal command.
[06:51] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: and run that again and again ?
[06:51] <RichardH> is this code going to "run" on the server or is it only for sharing?
[06:51] <alkisg> rsync also works with tftp
[06:51] <alkisg> *ftp
[06:52] <silv3r_m00n> not on the server
[06:52] <Xfact> having sound problems...please help...details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/349832/
[06:52] <silv3r_m00n> alkisg: I need a gui too
[06:52] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, I'm assuming that the entire reason for syncing the files locally is so that you can work offline.  If there is no need to unmount the ftp server then there is no need to copy everything locally.
[06:52] <Xfact> having sound problems...please help...details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/349832/
[06:52] <RichardH> maybe you can see if your host can provide webdav.  maybe this would help
[06:52] <ardchoille> !patience | Xfact
[06:52] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, rsync will probably be used.
[06:53] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Simply have the people edit the files live on the ftp server...
[06:53] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: copying locally wud be really helpful if it wrks automatically in the background
[06:53] <sabgenton> c3101 no I check it against the digest file
[06:53] <silv3r_m00n> live editing not needed ....
[06:53] <Xfact> Ok oK I haven't felt ignored and repeated my question quickly...ddh! whats wrong?
[06:53] <sabgenton> where can I download the latest usb creater exe
[06:54] <RichardH> Maybe you can use one of the many web based collaboration software that you might be able to install on the server.  This will also afford you the benefit of revisions
[06:54] <silv3r_m00n> they key thing is remote-to-local synchronisation shud be automatic
[06:54] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, So I'm an employee.  I log into my linux computer and then I open my local file with all of the files from the ftp server in it.  I make changes and changes all day.  Add files delete them edit them whatever.  Then at the end of the day I copy them all to the ftp server again?
[06:54] <sabgenton> I got the one i have off the ubuntu cd
[06:54] <sabgenton> desktop cd
[06:54] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: otherwise dropbox is the thing that I need
[06:55] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: yah
[06:55] <Xfact> actually I am in big problem...new in linux and I have no sound :(
[06:55] <sabgenton> c3101: oh is there a usb cd creator on the server iso?
[06:55] <Xfact> repeat:having sound problems...please help...details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/349832/
[06:55] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, But if more than 1 employee does that then they will be overwriting each others changes when they write back to the ftp server.  Unless they each have some small portion or something...
[06:55] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: and again .... this particular local folder has special powers....putting anything inside it automatically synchronises it with ftp serve
[06:56] <dnivra> !sound | Xfact
[06:56] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: that's not an issue
[06:56] <dnivra> Xfact: read that in the mean time:).
[06:56] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, They will all be logged into the ftp server this entire time?
[06:56] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: I guess so
[06:56] <silv3r_m00n> a service in that taskbar
[06:56] <sabgenton> c3101: im using usb cd creator from the desktop cd to test the server iso
[06:56] <sabgenton> is that ok?
[06:56] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, I meant software that you can download and install on the server.  Not a service like dropbox.  But in this case, dropbox would probably be the easiest
[06:56] <sabgenton> to install the server iso i mean
[06:56] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Are you familiar with "mounting"
[06:57] <edbian> ?
[06:57] <Xfact> I have read everything...but my problem is different....so I added this paste bin note to show you guys....
[06:57] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: yes .. ?
[06:57] <crash2108> Good year , good fellows.  I'm following http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2009/03/multi-touch-for-anyall-synaptics.html
[06:57] <silv3r_m00n> use fuse ?
[06:57] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, I'm not very good with ftp servers but can't you mount the ftp server locally on each machine?
[06:58] <crash2108> I got to restarting 'hal' and it tells me to use to 'service' command instead.  I do, but nothing seems to happen.
[06:58] <joljam> I have a desktop connected to a wireless router thru an ethernet cable... I also have a wireless printer...how can I print wirelessly
[06:58] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Do you understand what I'm saying?
[06:58] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, fuse would require you to use smb which you do not have access to on the server.
[06:58] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: yes... I can ... but that has a little issue ......trying to edit over there...every time ctrl-s is pressed there will be a 1-5 sec delay
[06:59] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: in dropbox what happens...everything appears local....and seamlessly in the background the online storage gets updated gradually
[06:59] <RichardH> edbian, you can't mount because silv3r_m00n is using a server at a hosting company so only has ftp access not smb
[06:59] <alkisg> RichardH: he should be able to use gvfs to mount it
[06:59] <edbian> RichardH, So there's two issues
[07:00] <edbian> alkisg, Are you sure...  He only has ftp access.  I think you MUST use a web browser.  Am I wrong?
[07:00] <alkisg> edbian: gvfs is when you try to visit an ftp site with nautilus
[07:00] <RichardH> edbian, alkisg says he should be able to use gvfs but I'm not familiar using this to mount an ftp folder.
[07:00] <alkisg> You see everything "locally" under ~/.gvfs
[07:00] <silv3r_m00n> mounting a ftp server as a drive and working in it works....but it still appears remote............the thing shud be that everything appears local and in the background remote synchronisation "keeps" working
[07:01] <silv3r_m00n> all day
[07:01] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, If you've got it mounted I suggest you make a hard symlink
[07:01] <crash2108> My battery is really about to die.  Does anyone have any insight into this?  Usuually it's some small stupid thing.
[07:01] <silv3r_m00n> what is a hard symlink ?
[07:01] <rkj> is there a variant of the "ls" command that will just list the subdirectories in the current directory?
[07:01] <meway> ubuntu just logged me out for no reason any clue why I was in the middle of an important graphics developing...?
[07:01] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, A soft symlink is basically a shortcut in windows.  I will explain how to make them.
[07:01] <silv3r_m00n> alkisg: I can see locally ?
[07:01] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, I soft symlink is only a pointer
[07:02] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, the problem is that you need a program monitoring the shared folder constantly so this program/script knows when a file has been changed or added
[07:02] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, a hard symlink is an exact copy.  It is like syncronizing two files or folders
[07:02] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: hmmm
[07:02] <edbian> RichardH, The hard symlink should do what he wants.
[07:02] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: there's no caching, so it's like you said, 3-5 secs delay every time you save somthing
[07:02] <RichardH> this may work on one machine but it will probably require a customized application for it to work the way you want
[07:02] <silv3r_m00n> what next ?
[07:03] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: will the hard symlink still give the effect of remote saving ?
[07:03] <rkj> bizarrely, the command "ls -d" hust lists a single directory "." - not too useful.
[07:03] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: I don't understand why rsync isn't what you want.
[07:03] <louis__> 6th gen ipod with ubuntu anyone?
[07:03] <louis__> ipod classic
[07:03] <RichardH> edbian, I think he's trying to avoid the delay he is going to experience.  Some software (depending on what he is using) will not handle this properly and may crash or just have a really annoying freeze while it's saving.
[07:03] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Just try this "ln /path/to/ftp/ /path/to/local/folder"
[07:03] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: rsync "read" on login, and rsync "write" before logout.
[07:04] <rkj> louis_ I use gtkpod and it is great, not sure what gen my ipod is though.
[07:04] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: let me try
[07:04] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, what alkisg said also seems to solve the issue (although it isn't exactly what you wanted)
[07:05] <louis__> rkj: i just bought the 160 GB classic under the impression that it would work cuz of something i read but its giving me troubles
[07:05] <alkisg> If you want to rsync periodically, you can also do that with a script... "rsync, sleep, rsync etc"
[07:05] <silv3r_m00n> ln: accessing `ftp://www.site.com': No such file or directory
[07:05] <skyllo> editable file in the conky this line is not showing the host name, nothing appears there only Hostname: here and nothing appears. Anybody want to take a look at the source of conky?
[07:05] <skyllo> Hostname: $alignr$nodename
[07:05] <skyllo> Kernel: $alignr$kernel
[07:05] <skyllo> Uptime: $alignr$uptime
[07:05] <FloodBot1> skyllo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:05] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: I got that when I entered that command
[07:05] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Do you not have the ftp server mounted?  I thought you did?
[07:05] <silv3r_m00n> no
[07:05] <silv3r_m00n> how to mount ?
[07:06] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, What is it that gives the 3-5 second delay?
[07:06] <silv3r_m00n> Ctrl-S
[07:06] <silv3r_m00n> how to mount the ftp server ?
[07:06] <alkisg> Question: Xorg.conf isn't used/needed by default, so what's a good way to select a certain resolution per machine (not per user)? I've put an `xrandr` call to /etc/gdm/Init/Default and that works for me, but isn't there any better way?
[07:06] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, I don't really know how.  Never done it.  alkisg RichardH How do you mount an ftp server?
[07:07] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: how to mount a ftp server ?
[07:07] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, How are you accessing your ftp server right now?
[07:07] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, browser?
[07:07] <silv3r_m00n> using a bookmark in konqueror
[07:07] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Oh this is on KDE! :)
[07:08] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Well I got good news.  When you connect using that bookmark you are mounting :)
[07:08] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Connect now using the bookmark
[07:08] <silv3r_m00n> done
[07:08] <RichardH> I've never mounted an ftp server.  I didn't think you could but alkisg said you could
[07:08] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Now figure out where you are in the filesystem
[07:08] <alkisg> RichardH: I think gvfs is gnome-specific.
[07:08] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Can you go up one level?
[07:08] <edbian> alkisg, I think so too but KDE should have an equivalent
[07:09] <edbian> alkisg, In any case sounds like he's got it mounted
[07:09] <RichardH> alkisg it is.
[07:09] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: I can see what I see daily ....the public_html , www, public_ftp folders
[07:09] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, The ftp server's files appear in a konqueror folder right?
[07:09] <Guest39212> Hi All,
[07:09] <silv3r_m00n> yah
[07:09] <dnivra> coz_, small problem. sorry to bother you. the login screen's not changing back. I did it four times; once even with a restart. any ideas?
[07:09] <Guest39212> Do anyone know ?
[07:09] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, so what path are you at?
[07:09] <Guest39212> if we can do virtualization using VMWARE  on UBUNTU ?
[07:09] <silv3r_m00n> ftp://www.site.com/
[07:09] <coz_> dnivra,  mmm   I will have to test this later then    ...did you restart x?
[07:09] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, open another konqueror window and go to /media
[07:10] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Whats in /media??
[07:10] <silv3r_m00n> only cdroms
[07:10] <silv3r_m00n> and floppies
[07:10] <dnivra> coz_, yeah killed Xorg and restarted the computer too
[07:10] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, ... not good.  Maybe it isn't mounted :/
[07:10] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, /mnt ??
[07:10] <silv3r_m00n> yes it isn't
[07:10] <dnivra> coz_, I ran the command that you gave me and it's all set there; it's "Human Clearlooks" there but that's not what it shows.
[07:10] <coz_> dnivra,  mmm that's not right .... I will test this later.... I cant do it right now :(
[07:11] <silv3r_m00n> nothing in there
[07:11] <dnivra> coz_, sure no problem. just tell me which app I have to reinstall or something like that to change it now.
[07:11] <ecart> .
[07:11] <silv3r_m00n> I think I need curlftpfs
[07:11] <coz_> dnivra,   reinstall?   did you uninstall something?
[07:11] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Well you do have another option.  Learn how to use rsync and simply rsync twice a day.  You can even automate it to run as a script at startup and shutdown if you like.  But I don't think there is anyway to automatically push those files
[07:12] <dnivra> coz_, no I didn't. just want to get the old login screen back.
[07:12] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, The curl thing could work.  But I don't think it's going to automate anything for you :/
[07:12] <silv3r_m00n> automatic pushing and pulling is what I need
[07:12] <RichardH> edbian, silv3r_m00n, to my knowledge, konqueror or nautilus won't mount an ftp folder.  I've never seen any evidence of that.  I may be wrong though.
[07:12] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, It is possible that there is a way.  I surely don't know it though :(
[07:12] <silv3r_m00n> for e.g. I put the file in employee1 folder and by the time I reach his room ...the file there on is system
[07:12] <crawler> hi.  my VNC server dies at least 3 or 4 times per day, and i have to restart it (using the command: x11vnc -safer -usepw -forever).  is there a log file or some way to diagnose why this is happening? (i also asked this question in #xubuntu, but this channel seems more alive)
[07:12] <dnivra> coz_, you don't have to sit and figure it out; some configuration file is all that needs to be changed; which should with a reinstall of some app right?
[07:13] <coz_> dnivra,  that should be the one I mentioned  HumanLogin
[07:13] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, You're trying to combine 2 things.  An ftp server (that is remote) and all the functionality of a file server.
[07:13] <coz_> dnivra,  no there is nothing to reinstall   if you use that dbus command and choose HumanLogin it should return to that login screen
[07:14] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: may be yes
[07:14] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Why do you need your files on a remote ftp server over the internet anyway?  It seems to only be a hassle for you
[07:14] <dnivra> coz_, oh BTW I don't have a HumanLogin theme ok. I only have Human and HumanClearlooks. none of which work with the command you gave me.
[07:14] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: I haven't yet planned any local backup storage
[07:14] <coz_> dnivra,  was the origianl   a very dark one?
[07:14] <silv3r_m00n> my webhosting ftp with 1 gb space wud be really useful if I can turn it into a dropbox
[07:15] <dnivra> the original login screen was the default one that you get on a fresh karmic install.
[07:15] <coz_> dnivra,   then HumanLogin is is that list  you might have to scroll down to see it
[07:15] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: https://one.ubuntu.com/
[07:15] <zharkie> whats the offtopic ubuntu channel called?
[07:15] <Mutro> I have a question about WireShark, how come when I open it up it shows none of my interfaces?
[07:15] <rww> zharkie: #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:15] <silv3r_m00n> alkisg: ofcourse
[07:16] <rww> Mutro: because you're not running it with administrative privileges. run `gksudo wireshark` instead.
[07:16] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Well I suggest you set up a file server for your office.  That will handle everybody working all day.  At the end of the night have the file server automatically sync the files to the ftp server.  I don't really see the need for instant backup but that's my opinion.
[07:16] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: it supports syncing...
[07:16] <dnivra> coz_, nope I only have Human and HumanClearlooks.
[07:16] <Mutro> rww, so I always have to run it as root?
[07:16] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Or ubuntu one! :)
[07:16] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, ha ha
[07:16] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n,  curlftpfs may work but not on the windows systems.  One thing you should watch out for is that many hosting companies expressly state in their terms of service that you cannot use your ftp space as a storage medium. (I own and IT consulting company and we deal with hosting companies all the time.)
[07:16] <coz_> dnivra,  then something is messed up for sure    this is ubuntu karmic correct?
[07:16] <rww> Mutro: if you want to capture from interfaces, yes
[07:16] <dnivra> yeah ubuntu karmic 9.10
[07:16] <Mutro> rww, is there a way i can run it under my user and still get the interfaces?
[07:16] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: hmm
[07:17] <silv3r_m00n> ok I mounted ftp using curlftpfs
[07:17] <edbian> RichardH, What the hell else can you use an ftp server for besides file storage??
[07:17] <rww> Mutro: probably, but the supported way of doing it is to run it as root.
[07:17] <silv3r_m00n> looks good but still the "remote" factor
[07:17] <kmyst> anybody use a keyfile to unlock luks encrypted paritions?
[07:17] <Mutro> rww: Ok. I'll try that
[07:17] <coz_> dnivra,  you might have to search  gnome-look.org or one of the ubuntu sites for the HumanLogin gtk2 theme
[07:18] <dnivra> coz_, cool! thanks for all your help!
[07:18] <RichardH> edbian, on a hosting company, to upload your files for your website
[07:18] <silv3r_m00n> I followed the instructions on this page >> http://hartvig.de/2009/howto-mount-a-ftp-drive-in-ubuntu/    and I think adding the mount line somewhere wud do it everytime the pc starts
[07:18] <edbian> RichardH, OIC, I guess....
[07:18] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, /etc/fstab is what mounts filesystems automatically. If you can mount it using the mount command this config file is what you're looking for.
[07:19] <RichardH> edbian, it's a hosting account which means that it's for hosting your website and email only.
[07:19] <silv3r_m00n> no its not mounted using the mount command but the curlftpfs command
[07:19] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, The best guide to anything ever: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[07:19] <edbian> RichardH, I understand
[07:19] <Random832> I get a strange icon with a tooltip referring to http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/08/17/gnome-power-manager-and-blanking-removal-of-bodges/
[07:19] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: mounting will *still* give you the same 3-5 secs delay
[07:20] <effendi-> happy new year, people in -07:00
[07:20] <silv3r_m00n> alkisg: and Ctrl-s too
[07:20] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, the other issue you may run into is bandwidth.  Even though some hosts give you unlimited bandwidth, it's not really unlimited.  The only way you MAY not have issues is if you have a dedicated server and not a shared server.
[07:20] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: right, that's why I proposed Ubuntu one.
[07:20] <sunil2> when ever i try to open word processor i'm getting message as
[07:20] <sunil2> "The application cannot be started.
[07:20] <sunil2> An internal error occurred"
[07:20] <sunil2> how to solve this problem??
[07:20] <FloodBot1> sunil2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:21] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: I mean that if you mount the folder, and then save a file in that folder with ctrl+s, you'll get the usual 3-5 secs delay. It doesn't matter that you've mounted it...
[07:21] <silv3r_m00n> alkisg: yah ..
[07:21] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, I think alkisg is on the right track.  I believe that Ubuntu also has a way for you to create your own cloud that you have have in your garage, house, whatever.
[07:21] <sunil2> please find solution for the url http://paste.ubuntu.com/349843/
[07:21] <ubuntunewbie> hi anyone know which channel is for wild life first aid ? Sorry to ask here but there is a little baby bird fall to the ground and injured.I wanted to know whether it's fine to apply human antibiotic cream to the wounds
[07:22] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, In any sane sys admin's mind you would have a file server to handle of your work / file collaboration and you would do 1 backup a day to an offsite location (usually at night).  Doing all of your work on a remote ftp server is wel...
[07:22] <ubuntunewbie> Thank you
[07:22] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: ^^^ what edbian just said.
[07:22] <sunil2> please find solution for the url http://paste.ubuntu.com/349843/
[07:23] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, also, what happens if your internet goes down or somehow your connection is interrupted?  If you have open files, they might be corrupted.
[07:23] <edbian> sunil2, What program?
[07:23] <silv3r_m00n> that too won't be an issue
[07:23] <silv3r_m00n> edbian: I think I can write a script .................that will ..........keep an eye on a local folder...........synchronise it with remote every 1 minute........and keep and eye on the remote server ..........and do the same
[07:24] <silv3r_m00n> and let everything go on "locally"
[07:24] <sunil2> did you find the url  http://paste.ubuntu.com/349843/
[07:24] <edbian> sunil2, Yes
[07:24] <daedro> i accidentally recursively chmodded my www folder and i assume thats bad, so im trying to get it back to default -rw-x---- or something, and i read thats chmod -R 644 ./, works for 777, but 644 makes all files say "unknown type" and disappear
[07:24] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, A script can def. do that.  It is not the best way to solve the problem though.  I will (against better judgement) answer questions if you had any about writing such a script.
[07:25] <crawler> ubuntunewbie: patch the bird's kernel with the latest module neosporin3.2.4beta
[07:25] <alkisg> daedro: directories need 755, so you need to run 2 `find` commands (find -type d and find -type f -exec chmod...)
[07:25] <sunil2> please tell me the solution for the url  http://paste.ubuntu.com/349843/
[07:25] <alkisg> sunil2: please stop it
[07:25] <silv3r_m00n> alkisg: yes
[07:25] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, one issue is that you may need root privileges on the server to install and run this script.
[07:26] <edbian> sunil2, My only guess: un-install and re-install the app.  Do you know how to do that?
[07:26] <sunil2> can you tell me?
[07:26] <daedro> alkisg: you the man, thanks ^^
[07:26] <alkisg> daedro: got a script for it if you want
[07:26] <edbian> sunil2, "sudo apt-get purge <programName>"
[07:26] <edbian> sunil2, "sudo apt-get install <programName>"
[07:27] <ubuntunewbie> crawler: i dont have neosporin antibiotic ointment
[07:28] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, here's another solution. do everything locally and maybe have a temporary server locally where a shared folder is mounted on each workstation.  Then have this server use and backup program such as this http://www.educ.umu.se/~cobian/index.htm  that supports ftp backups upload everything to your server.  But, it's only one way.
[07:28] <sunil2> can you modify "sudo apt-get install <programName>" for "office"
[07:28] <shawncm217> does anyone know how to switch firefox from the ubuntu theme back to the default theme?
[07:28] <edbian> sunil2, :)  "sudo apt-get purge oowriter"
[07:29] <silv3r_m00n> will the backup work automatically ?
[07:29] <edbian> sunil2, "sudo apt-get install oowriter"
[07:29] <ubuntunewbie> crawler: what else beside  neosporin antibiotic ointment can be apply ?
[07:29] <RichardH> you can set it to backup whenever you want automatically.  Also, this program can back up to multiple locations
[07:29] <silv3r_m00n> hmm
[07:30] <edbian> ubuntunewbie, What are you guys talking about??
[07:30] <bazhang> ubuntunewbie, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:30] <RichardH> it can back up to a zip file or it can just copy everything over so you can just connect with konqueror like you do know and download individual files you want to restore
[07:30] <silv3r_m00n> hmm
[07:31] <aitor> holaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[07:31] <Mutro> hoi
[07:31] <ubuntunewbie> edbian , bazhang , sorry was asking whether there's a channel for wild life first aid on irc
[07:31] <RichardH> I use this for one of my clients so just loves not having to deal with a proprietary back up format.
[07:31] <aitor> edbian¿?
[07:32] <edbian> aitor, I'm here
[07:32] <edbian> aitor, What's up?

[07:33] <BlueBoyz> n #ubuntu
[07:34] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: rsync requires a daemon to run on server ?
[07:34] <edbian> sunil2, "sudo apt-get install oowriter"  :)
[07:34] <silv3r_m00n> is there a utility that can synchronise or merge 2 folders ... 1 ftp and 1 local ?
[07:34] <silv3r_m00n> may be the ftp folder will be mounted before that
[07:34] <edbian> silv3r_m00n, Probably rsync
[07:35] <silv3r_m00n> rsync needs a daemon to run on server...cant do that
[07:36] <sunil2> my url is http://paste.ubuntu.com/349847/
[07:36] <aitor> ola como entro en un chat irc- ubuntu-espanish ske tengo el lonux i soi un poco nob en el linux
[07:37] <edbian> sunil2, "sudo apt-get install ooffice" ?
[07:37] <bazhang> aitor, /join #ubuntu-es
[07:37] <sunil2> my url is http://paste.ubuntu.com/349847/ now tell me how to un-install and re-install my office
[07:37] <edbian> Guys, what is the package name for open office?
[07:37] <alkisg> silv3r_m00n: no it doesn't
[07:37] <lstarnes> edbian: openoffice, I think
[07:37] <sunil2> yes the url is for installing office
[07:37] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, I don't think you can use rsync to sync to an ftp server.  rsync is a different protocol and doesn't use the same commands.
[07:38] <RichardH> for ftp, you need to use GET and PUT commands.  rsync doesn't do that
[07:38] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: I will just issue a command sync ftpfolder localfolder
[07:38] <shawn146> coz
[07:38] <edbian> sunil2, "sudo apt-get install openoffice"
[07:38] <shawn146> coz?
[07:38] <shawn146> dang he left
[07:38] <edbian> shawn146, too bad, he's a smart one ;)
[07:38] <shawn146> lol
[07:38] <shawn146> yea i was just talking to him
[07:39] <D-coy> m4v chupame las bolas, sii??? :$
[07:39] <shawn146> ?
[07:39] <shawn146> english?
[07:39] <D-coy> m4v kiss my balls
[07:39] <lstarnes> !es
[07:39] <D-coy> xD
[07:39] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, what you might not understand is that ftp is a protocol.  it uses certain commands.  It's a way to connect in otherwords.  rsync and ftp are two different protocols.  you don't actuallly have access to a folder.  everything goes through the ftp daemon then that daemon writes to the folder
[07:40] <daedro> is it normal to be unable to chmod a file as root thats under your regular user, and is 777 -rwxrwxrwx, and shows up with ls, command works on other files. just not ones in this specific subdirectory.. subdirectory is chmod 755 drwxr-xr-x
[07:40] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: hmm , fine
[07:40] <daedro> cant make it 644 like the rest
[07:40] <sangho_Geek2> happy new year
[07:40] <ecart> How do I change the hostname of the machine? I tried to edit the file as gedit has more access denied.
[07:40] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, sharing a folder on a local computer and the ftp folder on your server are two completely different things.  It's like someone speaking Russian is trying to talk to somone that speaks Chinese.
[07:41] <sunil2> please find the url  for installing office http://paste.ubuntu.com/349848/
[07:41] <silv3r_m00n> hmm
[07:41] <edbian> ecart, You need to be root to edit system config files
[07:41] <edbian> ecart, "gksu gedit /etc/hostname"
[07:41] <RichardH> daedro, how are you trying to change the permission?
[07:42] <edbian> ecart, editing that file will make it change next time you boot.  To make it change instantly "sudo hostname <newHostname>"
[07:42] <daedro> chmod 644 /home/daedro/lib/wordpress/wp-config/daedro.com.php
[07:42] <ecart> ok
[07:42] <ecart> worked
[07:42] <ecart> thanks
[07:42] <shawncm217> does anyone know how to switch firefox from the ubuntu theme back to the default theme?
[07:42] <daedro> i can right click it, and do it manually, and it works. just not via command line
[07:43] <edbian> ecart, no problem :)
[07:43] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: ok , if I make 1 computer a server ......and I have root on all pcs ......what wud be the best way to get the dropbox effect ?
[07:43] <Circs> How do one open a folder as root
[07:43] <dibblego> why can't I read SD cards greater than 2GB?
[07:43] <sunil2> please find the url  for installing office http://paste.ubuntu.com/349848/
[07:43] <silv3r_m00n> means the home of all pcs are synchronised with the server
[07:43] <Circs> Or copy a folder as root
[07:43] <RichardH> daedro, that's strange.  is it owned by your user?  are you doing this as root?
[07:43] <daedro> yup and yup, its strange
[07:44] <edbian> RichardH:  good luck answering that!
[07:44] <khelvan> Hi, I'm trying to use imagemagick to convert a bunch of .jpg files to .png - can someone help me with writing a bash script to do: convert x.jpg x.png (where x is a numerical value)
[07:44] <daedro> i can just do it manually and ignore it, i just wanted to learn what im doing wrong.. not be hand held by the UI
[07:45] <silv3r_m00n> no more ftp restriction in this case.... any daemon can run on the server computer
[07:45] <edbian> sunil2, The issue you're having is very very minor :)  We just can't find the package name.  Try using the add/remove program in the menu.  Do you know what I'm talking about?
[07:46] <sunil2> can you expand further?
[07:46] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, first, you probably can't with the software that normally comes on a typical linux installation.  First, you will need something that continually monitors the folder.  The only way I can think of this even coming close to that is a script that scans the folder every few seconds continually. Keep in mind that dropbox has custom software on the server and on your computer.  it's not just a typical server
[07:46] <edbian> What do they call add/remove now guys?  I'm not on an ubuntu box right now...
[07:47] <ardchoille> edbian: sogtware center
[07:47] <ardchoille> *software
[07:47] <silv3r_m00n> well if there is a software like that I can install it on all pcs...and make 1 pc a server
[07:47] <edbian> sunil2: Look for open office in the software center
[07:47] <edbian> ardchoille, Thanks
[07:47] <ardchoille> yw
[07:48] <RichardH> I've seen software that runs on a windows system that can "sync" but all it does is just run every few minutes.
[07:48] <mister_roboto> dropbox checks with the server every 30 seconds, i think
[07:48] <ardchoille> edbian: iirc, that started with karmic
[07:48] <silv3r_m00n> ya every few minutes also will do
[07:48] <silv3r_m00n> I need that for linux
[07:48] <Riddick> i am using ubuntu as a file server and i am trying to connect from osx.  i can connect to the share fine but not write any files.  any help would be appreciated.
[07:48] <edbian> ardchoille, I actually use debian now :)  I stopped with ubuntu back at version 9.10
[07:48] <sunil2> where can i find software center??
[07:48] <edbian> 8.10*
[07:48] <ardchoille> edbian: 9.10 is the current version
[07:48] <silv3r_m00n> sunil2: where did you find ubuntu ?
[07:49] <edbian> sunil2, In the menus buddy.  You know Applications
[07:49] <goplexian> anyone know if there are any deb's for cabal/bluetile yet?
[07:49] <ardchoille> ah, ok
[07:49] <edbian> sunil2, places, admin
[07:49] <RichardH> I've been looking for something similar and can't find it.  Windows has something built in that does that.  Anyway, in the situation you stated, you can probably use rsync as long as you can mount the shared folder using smb
[07:49] <mister_roboto> silv3r_m00n: using rsync driven by cron works really well for that
[07:49] <mister_roboto> silv3r_m00n: someone else was asking about something similar earlier tonight
[07:49] <silv3r_m00n> mister_roboto: a tutorial or howto ?
[07:49] <mister_roboto> go to the rsync site and they have extensive tutorials and docs
[07:50] <sunil2> how to open software center??
[07:50] <silv3r_m00n> mister_roboto: fine
[07:50] <mister_roboto> silv3r_m00n: http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/
[07:50] <edbian> sunil2, Did you find it in the menus?
[07:50] <silv3r_m00n> sunil2: how did you open this irc channel ?
[07:50] <RichardH> silv3r_m00n, actually, if you have the servers locally, you can probably just share a folder using smb.
[07:51] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: yupp and what about the automatic background synchronisation
[07:51] <sunil2> in add/remove under applications . am i correct?
[07:51] <edbian> sunil2, no offense but this is getting ridiculous
[07:51] <mister_roboto> RichardH: i thought he wanted to keep a sync'd copy of their home dirs?
[07:51] <edbian> sunil2, Yes!  That's it you found it! :)
[07:51] <RichardH> you would probably need a cronjob to run every few seconds
[07:51] <edbian> sunil2, add/remove
[07:51] <silv3r_m00n> RichardH: let me get some tutorial
[07:51] <Riddick> anyong using NFS?
[07:51] <edbian> Riddick, I'm familiar with it
[07:52] <zcat[1]> RichardH:  cronjobs can'r run more often than per minute?
[07:52] <Riddick> i am setting up my ubuntu box to be an NFS server for my OSX laptop.  i can connect fine, but i can't write any files. i setup it up before to write as a specific user but can't remember what i did nor find my notes anywhere.
[07:52] <dnivra> I've been trying to restore my login screen to the default in karmic after changing it using the command "gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties"(which coz_ gave me sometime ago in this channel) and I get the following error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/349851/. Because of the I/O error, I'm not able to change my login screen. Which file's or directory's absence is causing the problem?
[07:53] <mister_roboto> silv3r_m00n: one typical problem with people trying to use cron for the first time is relying on some environment to be set up. in your cron, use explicit pathnames for everything
[07:53] <meero> how to create user in chroot?
[07:53] <goplexian> anyone using bluetile here?
[07:54] <edbian> Riddick, Probably has to do with the file permissions.  I've never done with with a mac :( I'm not sure how the hell permissions work with MAC
[07:54] <RichardH> silv3r_moon, here's one issue.  You will either have a shared folder on each workstation that rsync will sync with 1 folder on the server, or you will have one folder on the server that will sync with one folder on each workstation which  means rsync will run multiple times but that will be a problem syncing folders to each workstation.
[07:54] <RichardH> this gets confusing.
[07:54] <Riddick> edbian: its unix.  the thing is my user id and group id are different.  its 501 i tink for ubuntu but 1000 for the mac.  or maybe its 1001.
[07:55] <ultrav1olet> what are flac123 alternatives? This package seems to be removed from repos
[07:55] <mister_roboto> zcat[1]: that's right. minute is the smallest granularity
[07:55] <edbian> Riddick, Make the file permissions of the file XX7 so that anybody can read write and execute anything in the folder
[07:55] <Riddick> even i have the same user on each box its just how it starts the numbering for user and groups
[07:55] <ardchoille> !info flac123
[07:55] <edbian> Riddick, yeah, the numbering is what matters
[07:55] <ardchoille> !find flac
[07:55] <Riddick> edbian: you mean of the shared folder?
[07:55] <RichardH> zcat, sorry about that, yes 1 minute.  thanks for reminding me.
[07:56] <ardchoille> ultrav1olet: ^^'
[07:56] <edbian> Riddick, "sudo chmod 777 /path/to/folder/on/server"
[07:56] <Riddick> yeah  okay
[07:56] <edbian> Riddick, Yeah, the shared folder on the server
[07:56] <edbian> Riddick, Hope it works! :)
[07:56] <meero> how to put user in chroot ?
[07:56] <ardchoille> edbian: does he need that to be recursive?
[07:56] <ultrav1olet> edbian: flac123 is a PLAYER, flac is just decoder/encoder
[07:56] <Riddick> i will figure it out eventually  :)
[07:56] <edbian> ardchoille, I don't think so...
[07:56] <edbian> ultrav1olet, Wrong person
[07:56] <ultrav1olet> I mean I have no desire to unpack flac files then play 'em
[07:57] <ultrav1olet> ardchoille: flac123 is a player, flac is just decoder/encoder
[07:57] <RichardH> daedro, sorry, did you get your question answered?
[07:57] <ardchoille> ultrav1olet: right, I was searching to hopefully assist you with your question
[07:58] <edbian> Riddick, Also, does your exports file have the rw option??
[07:58] <edbian> Riddick, I have to go.  Good luck! :)
[07:58] <edbian> RichardH, Good working with you
[07:59] <RichardH> edbian, same to you.  Happy New Year
[08:00] <dibblego> why can't I see my SD card? dmesg && fdisk -l http://paste.pocoo.org/show/161047/
[08:02] <dnivra> I've been trying to restore my login screen to the default in karmic after changing it using the command "gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties"(which coz_ gave me sometime ago in this channel) and I get the following error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/349851/. Because of the I/O error, I'm not able to change my login screen. Which file's or directory's absence is causing the problem?
[08:04] <sunil2> just now i removed all office files using add/remove
[08:04] <xiong> I had 8 [somethings] and now I can't get them. These [somethings] are called different names in different places. They are set in CompizConfig:General Options:Desktop Size:Horizontal Virtual Size and :Vertical Virtual Size. These are not the same things as :Number of Desktops. I seem to have lost control here.
[08:04] <ultrav1olet> does anyone know a simple audio player with minimal dependencies which can play mp3/wav/ogg/flac files?
[08:04] <sunil2> how to re-install my office
[08:05] <Tiders> For software RAID should I create for example one partition of root on /dev/sda and the other on /dev/sdb and then one half of /home on /dev/sda and one half on /dev/sdb?
[08:05] <sunil2> just now i removed all office files using add/remove. How to re-install my office???

[08:08] <holloh> Does anybody know if you can host small websites on port 80 with Verizon's FIOS?

[08:09] <dibblego> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8591231#post8591231 Can anyone comment on failing to read an SD Card?
[08:09] <skyllo> holloh 9.10 koala
[08:11] <holloh> skyllo: the changes in 9.10 with pulse audio confused me and i went back to 9.04. I'm not the person for that question :-|
[08:11] <skyllo> holloh?
[08:11] <skyllo> ;/
[08:11] <xiong> I can't drag windows from one [virtual desktop? workspace?] to another anymore. The feature just disappeared.
[08:11] <xdrr> Dont mean to interupt but can i ask a quick q?
[08:12] <RichardH> holloh, it's my understanding that most DSL/Cable providers prohibit hosting public websites/services on a standard service.
[08:12] <ae86-drifter> xiong, re enable dektop effects
[08:12]  * xiong looks
[08:12] <ae86-drifter> in eappearance
[08:12] <holloh> xdrr: don't ask to ask a question, just ask it
[08:12] <holloh> RichardH: that's what i thought, but i'm still curious
[08:13] <xdrr> k lol, im currently configuring a bind9 server but every method of config doesnt work for me
[08:13] <xdrr> doesnt want to find hosts in the forward zone after configuring
[08:13] <xdrr> ive got this working before but i cant remember how lol, any ideas?
[08:13] <RichardH> holloh, I don't know if it's true, but I heard that they periodically do scans of their network looking for these kinds of things.  In some areas, port 80 is blocked as is port 25 for SMTP.
[08:14] <ae86-drifter> hey, i have ubuntu 9.10 server edition and all of a sudden i cant ssh into it anymore, so i plugged a screen into it and i just get the login: prompt and the screen flickers on and off repeatedly
[08:14] <xiong> ae86-drifter, Do you mean the 'Visual Effects' tab?
[08:14] <holloh> RichardH: I guess i'll figure it out in a week after i get all set up :)
[08:15] <ae86-drifter> xiong, yeah
[08:15] <RichardH> holloh, I've also heard that if they find you are running a server, they can close your account.
[08:16] <skyllo> holloh, My problem seems to be very simple, because everything is working fine except the transmittance of Eudi that is a little slow. A little more esperiencia solve the problem unfortunately most do not have it; /
[08:16] <RichardH> holloh, in my area, Time Warner also forbids it but no ports are blocked.  I haven't had any problems but only I use it to access stuff while I'm out.
[08:16] <xiong> ae86-drifter, Yes! That is it. What a weird thing. The tab says nothing about Compiz; it looks like some sort of dummy interface for ppl too lazy to set CompizConfig settings individually.
[08:16] <ae86-drifter> xiong,  yeah pretty much
[08:17] <Circs> One of my sd cards had a bunch of fsck000X.REC files on it. What does that mean
[08:17] <holloh> RichardH: i plan to set up a name based virtual host serving me files while i'm away, and as for the default host settings, i'll serve up pictures of kittens or something
[08:17] <sunil2> what is the command used to re-install office??????
[08:17] <sunil2>  just now i removed all office files using add/remove. How to re-install my office???
[08:17] <Dezine> I remember past Ubuntu versions had a software manager that let you sort by rating, by popularity, how can I get that in 9.10?
[08:17] <skyllo> holloh how to test the audio drivers??/
[08:17] <xiong> ae86-drifter, Ah yes, but it *doesn't* say that setting to 'None' disables the whole Compiz and that further CompizConfig settings will have no effect.
[08:18] <omar> any one nows how to get adobe fotoshop cs2 full on ubuntu?
[08:18] <RichardH> holloh, good luck
[08:18] <holloh> skyllo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[08:18] <ae86-drifter> omar, i use cs4 fine on mine
[08:19] <skyllo> thanks
[08:19] <xiong> Thank You! ae86-drifter++
[08:19] <omar> u got cs4 full?
[08:19] <RichardH> omar, you might want to look into wine.  photoshop is a windows/mac program and doesn't run natively on linux.
[08:19] <ae86-drifter> omar, yes
[08:19] <ubuntunewbie> hi
[08:19] <omar> i have wine lol
[08:19] <omar> i just need key
[08:20] <ae86-drifter> key?
[08:20] <omar> i got tricks for cs2
[08:20] <ubuntunewbie> usunbut 9.10 have a safely remove usb , and umount .what is the different ?
[08:20] <omar> are the cs4 ones diffrent?
[08:20] <holloh> sunil2: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org
[08:20] <ubuntunewbie> testing with 9.10 have a safely remove usb , and umount .what is the different ?
[08:20] <Dezine> omar, you probably don't want to hear this but have you tried GIMP? As a Windows user I have found GIMP to be a worthy replacement of Photoshop.
[08:20] <skyllo> holloh
[08:20] <skyllo> ok. More how to test the drivers in ubuntu? has some terminal command that does this?
[08:20] <omar> i now
[08:20] <omar> i just wanted to say
[08:20] <RichardH> omar, does that mean that...uuuhhhh...you didn't buy photoshop?
[08:20] <omar> I GOT PHOTOSHOP
[08:20] <FloodBot1> omar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:20] <holloh> skyllo: i don't know
[08:21] <skyllo> ;/
[08:21] <ae86-drifter> Dezine, do you know the name of that gimp mod that makes it look like PS?
[08:21] <omar> no
[08:21] <omar> i didnt buy
[08:21] <Dezine> Hmm, ae86-drifter I don't know unless you mean gimpshop
[08:21] <omar> i just want ps cs2 and i just need a nice key :)
[08:21] <Athar> How can you make the icons for the locations in Dolphin smaller? Apparently, it remains unimpressed when I change the icon/preview size for the "icons" view.
[08:21] <Circs> If I have a about 15 fsck0000.rec files on my sd card does that mean it is dieing?
[08:22] <ae86-drifter> nice key? lol.. u mean instructions?
[08:22] <RichardH> omar, then you will still have the same issues in linux as in Windows.  I don't think anyone here will help with a bootlegged copy of software.  Maybe I'm wrong.
[08:22] <Dezine> omar, I don't think anyone here will help you with illegally obtained software
[08:22] <kinja-sheep> omar: Need? You mean you want? Not need?
[08:22] <omar> i thought runing ps on ubuntu needed like a special key
[08:23] <RichardH> omar, if you didn't buy the software, it's stolen.  software needs a key that you get when you buy the software.
[08:23] <kinja-sheep> !piracy | omar
[08:23] <ae86-drifter> can someone please tell me how i can roll back my kernel upgrade, bootin from a live cd
[08:23] <Dezine> Just use GIMP, it's not as hard as PS users act. Sure, there's a learning curve but it is doable
[08:23] <Guest11434> Does anyone here play World of Warcraft on Linux?
[08:24] <Dezine> I do Guest11434
[08:24] <RichardH> omar, if you "get" a car but didn't pay for it and the legal owner didn't give it to you, then...uuuhhh...you get the picture.
[08:24] <omar> omfg
[08:24] <omar> pirate bay its ma place dude
[08:24] <omar> :(
[08:24] <xiong> RichardH, Are you pretty solid on wine? After the karmic upgrade, I'm having some trouble with it -- seems previously installed apps won't run with it now.
[08:24] <ae86-drifter> ps cost about $1000 i think
[08:25] <Guest11434> No, I'm not looking for a WoW discussion, merely help in getting it running in Wine
[08:25] <RichardH> xiong, sorry, I haven't had time to play with wine in a long time.
[08:25] <morphias> Guest11434, i got WoW to run in wine before when i was playing it
[08:25] <Dezine> Guest11434, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[08:25] <morphias> its pretty simple.
[08:25] <xiong> RichardH, Okay, thanks just the same. Not a high priority for me today.
[08:26] <morphias> but i learned that if you have a old intel card, it craps out in linux (no opengl 2.0 support).  works better in windows.
[08:26] <ae86-drifter> what would cause my pc to boot up and just sit there flashing on and off at the login shell
[08:26] <Dezine> I have an GeForce 5900 and it runs pretty well
[08:27] <morphias> i envy you Dezine :-P
[08:27] <Dezine> This setup is about 5 years old
[08:27] <morphias> however that a desktop?
[08:27] <Dezine> I also have a 9600 but the mobo fried :|
[08:27] <RichardH> omar, no offense, but most "techie" type people look down on piracy. Once reason is that many of them may be programmers themselves.  It's usually (not always) the wannabe's that "need" this type of software.  The rest of us can find free, open source equivalents and can learn to use them to accomplish what we need.
[08:27] <Dezine> Yes
[08:27] <Guest11434> Thanks Dezine, I was using that earlier today. I created a launcher script with the help from this site http://www.linux.com/community/blogs/How-to-Setup-World-of-Warcraft-on-Linux.html and when I try to get WoW to play my screen goes black and the gauntlet-cursor loads, but nothing else happens.
[08:27] <morphias> ya. i was talking down the lines about older dell laptops
[08:28] <Dezine> What care do you have Guest11434?
[08:28] <Dezine> card*
[08:28] <morphias> X3100 (opengl 1.5)
[08:28] <Guest11434> HD 4670
[08:28] <ircuser> I want to use "Super" to start "Run Application" along with  "Alt+F2" (keep both). How to do it?
[08:28] <ae86-drifter> what would cause my pc to boot up and just sit there flashing on and off repeatedly at the login: shell
[08:28] <RichardH> ae86-drifter, is this windows or linux?
[08:29] <Dezine> Guest11434, do you have drivers installed?
[08:29] <ae86-drifter> RichardH, it is ubuntu 9.10 server ed
[08:29] <Guest11434> Yeah I do
[08:29] <Dezine> hmm
[08:29] <morphias> Dezine, that would work on his laptop after he has catalyst properly installed ;)
[08:29] <morphias> i mean desktop lol
[08:29] <RichardH> ae86-drifter, is it the command line login to the gui?
[08:30] <Guest11434> Actually... I might not come to think of it. Allow me to explain.
[08:30] <ae86-drifter> RichardH, the screen goes black and flickers on every couple of seconds, and no, server ed doesnt have a gui
[08:30] <Dezine> Guess I don't know, I never had issues so never had to troubleshoot
[08:30] <omar> im not a wanabe or none
[08:30] <omar> i just want to use ps and learn how to use it
[08:30] <ae86-drifter> its just where it normally boots to.... the login prompt...
[08:30] <morphias> omar, pm
[08:30] <Dezine> omar, then buy it.
[08:30] <Tm_T> omar: sorry, no support for pirated software, nor discussion, thanks
[08:30] <Dezine> Or, learn GIMP, which is free and legally available.
[08:31] <itsnotstalking> gimp is pretty good
[08:31] <Guest11434> This isn't actually my computer I'm installing it on. I'm installing it for my mother. On my computer I can see ATI catalyst control center under Applications since I installed my drivers. I don't see that under Applications on my mother's computer so they may not have actually installed.
[08:31] <Dezine> Seems odd to use an open source os like Ubuntu and then come into the official chat asking how to use pirated software
[08:31] <itsnotstalking> im not sure it support vectoring? which i dont know how to do anyways
[08:32] <Guest11434> Unless 4670s don't have catalyst centers for some reason.
[08:32] <Dezine> Yeah itsnotstalking, but inkscape is pretty good for vector
[08:32] <xdrr> With bind9 in the forward lookup zone do you need to enter the FQDN for the NS entry?
[08:32] <Guest11434> Our Brands are different too. I have Sapphire, she has XFX.
[08:32] <itsnotstalking> Dezine, good to know!
[08:32] <Dezine> np
[08:32] <RichardH> ae86-drifter, I would have to say it's the monitor. At least start there.  At that login prompt, there's just basic text so I don't think it's the graphics card.
[08:32] <Circs> Not to be obnoxious, but I'll ask again. Does finding a bunch (15 or so) of file fragments left over from fsck bode poorly for the health of the drive involved?
[08:32] <itsnotstalking> yeah, open source people hate pirating, bill gates loves it tho, so go nutz
[08:33] <RichardH> omar, you can download a trial and use that.
[08:33] <Dezine> omar has made his gracious exit lol
[08:33] <ae86-drifter> RichardH, i have used a monitor from a pc that works fine, as i dont normally plug a screen into the server
[08:33] <aaron11> Hello Im having a problem with my laptop. There is a white line comming straight downwards and its a BIG problem, this seems to happen even before booting. Im googleing like a mad man but some people say its an hardware fault. I just added some poison (Anti-Cocoroach) to the area where the computer needs cooling because cocoroaches will get in and spoil it anyway :). Im running Karmic Koala.
[08:34] <Dezine> itsnotstalking, have you ever been on http://www.osalt.com/? Has a good list of Open Source alternatives.
[08:34] <RichardH> ae86-drifter, what video card is in the system?
[08:34] <Guest11434> Well I suppose I'll try installing the drivers again. Maybe there was a problem last time.
[08:34] <Circs> aaron11, Definitely H/W
[08:34] <morphias> aaron11, liquids dont work with electronics
[08:34] <ae86-drifter> RichardH, the server has all brand new hardware, i think it maybe to do with an update or something i installed, do u know how i could roll back the kernel? i cannot get shell access and also lost SSH access, it is using the onboard video card, its all brand new and was working fine when i first installed the OS
[08:34] <itsnotstalking> Dezine, no but i just book marked it, i usually use google
[08:34] <an0nmat1r> aaron11: white line before booting?
[08:35] <Dezine> Yeah Google is pretty good, which is probably where I found that
[08:35] <aaron11> morphias: For your information its chalk
[08:35] <xdrr> aaron11, i had a similar case but more lines. if the laptop is old check for an old internal modem (worked for me)
[08:35] <aaron11> an0nmat1r: Yes. Strait in the middle
[08:35] <aaron11> xdrr: Almost only 1 yr old
[08:36] <kinja-sheep> aaron11: Take a screenshot. That way we know it's not hardware problem .:o
[08:36] <istvan> ether[Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. B/C) Cardbus Fast Ethernet Adapter]
[08:36] <aaron11> kinja-sheep: Your smart! Good idea
[08:36] <istvan> os[Linux 2.6.28-17-generic i686] distro[Ubuntu "jaunty" 9.04] cpu[4 x AMD Phenom(tm) 9650 Quad-Core Processor (AuthenticAMD) @ 2.30GHz] mem[Physical: 2.0GB, 81.1% free] disk[Total: 2.2TB, 46.4% free] video[nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400 GS] sound[HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB]
[08:36] <RichardH> ae86-drifter, oh, so you don't even get to the login prompt.  are the lights on the keyboard flashing signaling a kernel crash?
[08:36] <xdrr> aaron11: does it work with any other OS?, or appear during POST?
[08:37] <morphias> RichardH, show <ae86-drifter> how to change the kernel from a recovery cd - if you find it before i do
[08:37] <ircuser> I want to use "Super" to start "Run Application" along with  "Alt+F2" (keep both). How to do it?
[08:37] <RichardH> ae86-drifter, sorry, I'm not at home.  Everyone wants to go to sleep so I need to go.  Sorry
[08:37] <ae86-drifter> RichardH, it actually boots a live CD fine, i do not really want to have to reinstall the OS, the kernel loads up and samba loads and everything its just flickering like crazy and i lose keyboard input and SSH
[08:37] <aaron11> xdrr: I only have Ubuntu as an Operating System
[08:37] <Dhuski> aaron11, if the line appears before booting, that is to say before there is any electrcal current running through it, then there is definitely a hardware problem.
[08:38] <Dhuski> aaron11, if you access cmos does it still give you the white line?
, there is a way to mount your installation from a live cd
[08:39] <aaron11> Dhuski: Whats a cmos
[08:39] <morphias> from there, if you older kernels are still left in the installation, you can change GRUB to boot an older version
[08:39] <kinja-sheep> ircuser: "sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager" and edit the ALT+F2 thingy. It is in there.
[08:39] <ae86-drifter> morphias, yeah i understand i can do that, but then how would i roll my previous upgrade back
[08:39] <xdrr> aaron11: if you are able to, shut it down (or force shut it down) then when it boots and possibly displays a logo see if it appears there
[08:39] <aaron11> kinja-sheep: http://imagebin.org/77793 I dont know if its there
[08:40] <kinja-sheep> aaron11: Hardware Problem. I don't see a line. :O
[08:40] <ae86-drifter> morphias, i think it may have caused it, but im not sure as it hasnt been rebooted for weeks, then booted up like this one day
[08:40] <aaron11> xdrr: What computer do you have
[08:41] <xdrr> aaron11: The one that was having the problem was a toshiba satellite laptop
[08:41] <ae86-drifter> morphias, So after booting a live CD what would you suggest i do then?
[08:41] <skyllo> voip which was better adapted to the new version of ubuntu?
[08:41] <morphias> do you know how to mount filesystems? or should i pull that up for you?
[08:42] <morphias> ae86-drifter, ~
[08:42] <aaron11> xdrr: "TOSHIBA: Leading Inovation" thats the first thing that happens when you startup. In the same way my white line is comming during that point
[08:44] <morphias> aaron11, check your spec manual and see about looking at the connections for the display (seems bios related? )
[08:44] <xdrr> aaron11: if the line appears at the moment your screen is turned on e.g. it beeps and displays the logo then i would look at something hardware related, e.g. modem, bad gfx connector etc
[08:44] <skyllo> voip which was better adapted to the new version of ubuntu?
[08:44] <aaron11> xdrr: Could it be because I applied Poison
[08:46] <xdrr> aaron11: note sure what you mean by poison?
[08:47] <aaron11> xdrr: Anti-Cocoroach chalk
[08:47] <aaron11> xdrr: I applied it to the machine
[08:48] <xdrr> aaron11: LOL, that might just do it
[08:49] <ndroftheline> happy new year!!!!
[08:49] <morphias> same to you ndroftheline
[08:49] <ws_> happy new year!!!
[08:49] <ndroftheline> also, can someone help me figure out how to try and recover photos from my camera's internal memory?
[08:49] <flashkidd> happy new year,,,
[08:49] <ae86-drifter> morphias, what do u mean by ~
[08:49] <aaron11> Guys !ot
[08:50] <morphias> i meant look up to my previous message ae86-drifter ... sorry
[08:50] <ndroftheline> i accidentally deleted some important photos from my digital camera's builtin memory. i've been able to recover deleted files from the camera's SD card with recoverjpeg
[08:50] <ndroftheline> but i don't know what directory to point recoverjpeg to. it says
[08:50] <ndroftheline> gphoto2://[usb:007,002]/
[08:51] <ndroftheline> which is the address of the camera's memory
[08:51] <morphias> ndroftheline, have you tried just mounting the camara's memory someplace ?
[08:51] <Guest75745> hello, I am facing an interesting problem with ubuntu, I am using 9.04 (works rock solid for me) but ever since I re-installed it, I can't use pidgin with my google talk account.  I have added the account but I see that it is always disabled and I get the "not authorised " error and button to re-enable.
[08:51] <ae86-drifter> morphias, i know you can mount the installation from the live cd, but i would like to know how how to fix it, its really important.. otherwise i will have to back all my stuff up and reinstall and reconfigure the server which will take a while
[08:51] <ws_> I am using ubunut9.10-amd64 and i want to install glibc 2.11 ,any one installed it succeeded?
[08:51] <xdrr> just realised that the DNS problem was due to not incrementing the S/N (opps)
[08:52] <ndroftheline> morphias, no, i don't kow what the block device is
[08:54] <ndroftheline> morphias, i can unmount it but wouldn't know what to re-mount
[08:54] <morphias> no need... when you connect the card / camara, how are you identified?
[08:55] <ndroftheline> how am i identified? hrm...what do you mean?
[08:55] <morphias> ndroftheline, well have you checked the /mnt and /media folders in the root directory ?
[08:56] <ndroftheline> morphias, yeah nothing in either
[08:56] <Guest11434> Great, now WoW refuses to even pretend to start
[08:56] <ndroftheline> morphias, well i mean i have otehr folders there

[09:09] <enzotib> sunil2: what do you mean by "gnome window" ?
[09:09] <unkmar> fahadmoideen: which software?
[09:10] <unkmar> oh, and Happy New Year everyone.
[09:10] <q_p> hello  my wireless router uses the "shared mode" of wep. i cannot access the net with iwconfig wlan0 essid xxx key s:xxx . any more args to set ?
[09:11] <fahadmoideen> when I am logged in as root user, I cant get the softwares installed from ubuntu software center. None of them are getting installed
[09:11] <sunil2> how to delete existing partions???????
[09:11] <q_p> when i use the nm-applet to set my wireless , it let me to choose the mode , shared or open system. i don't know how to select the mode with command iwconfig
[09:12] <lstarnes> sunil2: use the partition editor on the livecd
[09:12] <sunil2> partion editor????????
[09:12] <unkmar> sunil2: yes.
[09:12] <manco> gparted
[09:12] <lstarnes> !gparted | sunil2
[09:13] <unkmar> sunil2: what manco said.  probably have to sudo though.
[09:13] <skyllo> edit files as root with gedit without having to open the terminal?
[09:13] <unkmar> skyllo: shortcut.  gksudo gedit
[09:13] <sunil2> how to open gparted window?
[09:13] <manco> hey i get this error when using wvdial to connect my mobile to pc  The PPP daemon has died: A modem hung up the phone (exit code = 16)
[09:13] <skyllo> ok
[09:14] <lstarnes> sunil2: if you have it installed, look under system > administration
[09:14] <unkmar> nm-applet and NetworkManager will interfere with cli attempts at wireless.
[09:14] <unkmar> fahadmoideen: q_p: nm-applet and NetworkManager will interfere with cli attempts at wireless.
[09:14] <manco> any aircel users here?
[09:14] <sunil2> i want to free up some memory in my device.how to proceed for that?
[09:15] <skyllo> unkmar I want to edit the file without the terminal
[09:15] <manco> unkmar r u talking 2 me?
[09:15] <lstarnes> sunil2: how big are your partitions?
[09:15] <fahadmoideen> is that so?
[09:15] <fahadmoideen> but the installation works fine with other user
[09:15] <sunil2> along with my 9.04 version i'm having xp also
[09:15] <unkmar> skyllo: create a shortcut, a link.
[09:16] <lstarnes> sunil2: but how big are your partitions?

[09:17] <sunil2> after df -h what is the next step to clean up my device memory?
[09:18] <lstarnes> sunil2: can you post the output of df -h to http://paste.ubuntu.com ?
[09:18] <unkmar> fahadmoideen: I have gotten wireless to work using a WPA connection, which is a little more difficult, via cli.  Only to have the sleeping NetworkManager reset/kill all my efforts minutes later.
[09:18] <unkmar> fahadmoideen: I had to sudo killall NetworkManager and sudo killall nm-applet for my connection to be stable.
[09:18] <sunil2> my url for df -h is http://paste.ubuntu.com/349871/ did you get it?
[09:19] <fahadmoideen> ok thanks
[09:19] <fahadmoideen> Which is the best linux OS?
[09:19] <lstarnes> sunil2: I would suggest repartitioning your hard disk
[09:19] <kapu> how do I use cp and preserve all file attributes as the orriginal?
[09:19] <unkmar> fahadmoideen: I later removed it from automatically launching. With a little assitance.
[09:19] <lstarnes> sunil2: 2.6 GB is nowhere near enough space to run ubuntu comfortably
[09:19] <Vituz> is it just me or does ubuntu 9.10 ignore xorg.conf?
[09:20] <kapu> i.e. last access time, owner etc..
[09:20] <Vituz> I know it says if there is one it'll accept the configuration but I'm not seeing any differences
[09:20] <unkmar> kapu: you have got to be kidding.  man cp and then look for preserve.  Type /preserve
[09:20] <sunil2> how to use this 2.6GB of space
[09:20] <unkmar> kapu: you will find the -p switch.
[09:21] <effendi> is there any way to add a start-up delay to an ubuntu statup program
[09:21] <lstarnes> sunil2: you really can't
[09:21] <kapu> ty
[09:21] <lstarnes> sunil2: the base of the system alone takes about 2 GB
[09:21] <sunil2> i'm getting message as no sufficient disc space when ever i try to install any thing.
[09:21] <fahadmoideen> Which is the best linux OS?
[09:21] <unkmar> effendi: launch it from script.  sleep seconds
[09:21] <unkmar> effendi: man sleep
[09:21] <effendi> okay, ty
[09:22] <sunil2> that's why i am asking you how to free up my disk space
[09:22] <blackest_knight> sunil2:  you could install puppy or dsl in 2.6 gb
[09:22] <lstarnes> fahadmoideen: we're obviously going to recommend ubuntu
[09:22] <lstarnes> sunil2: repartition
[09:22] <lstarnes> fahadmoideen: we're obviously going to recommend ubuntu
[09:22] <lstarnes> fahadmoideen: oops, wrong message.
[09:22] <sunil2> puppy or dsl??????
[09:22] <Vituz> urgh I can't get my crappy video card working properly since I upgraded to 9.10 :\
[09:23] <lstarnes> fahadmoideen: I meant to say that they're usually called (gnu/)linux distributions rather than (gnu/)linux operating systems
[09:23] <sunil2> if i repartion my xp also will be erased.is it so?????
[09:23] <lstarnes> sunil2: they're different distributions of linux
[09:23] <unkmar> lstarnes: I don't recommend any particular flavor.  I have my reasons for ME not liking some of them.  But each has its own uses and feel.
[09:23] <lstarnes> sunil2: if you have a good partition editor, it can resize partitions
[09:23] <blackest_knight> sunil2 get the gparted live cd from source forge boot from it and resize partitions (best way as mounted file systems can't be resized)
[09:23] <lstarnes> sunil2: without erasing them
[09:23] <Vituz> can anyone give me a hand with some xorg/ati problems...
[09:24] <lstarnes> sunil2: but you need to defragment windows's partition before trying to resize it
[09:24] <manco> Vituz whats d pblm?
[09:24] <Vituz> can't get my ati rage (mach64) card to work the way it did before the upgrade
[09:24] <unkmar> sunil2: it is generally suggested to backup all data before any action is taken.  one very crude method is usind dd.
[09:24] <sunil2> how to get the gparted live cd?????
[09:24] <Vituz> not entirely sure how I got it working before
[09:24] <manco> uwhat upgrade?
[09:24] <Vituz> 9.10
[09:24] <lstarnes> sunil2: search google for "gparted livecd download"
[09:24] <manco> hmmm
[09:24] <Vituz> all my attempts at changing xorg is coming up nil
[09:24] <unkmar> sunil2: there are better clone methods available.
[09:24] <blackest_knight> sunil2:  ever heard of google?
[09:24] <manco> how did u install the driver
[09:24] <Vituz> seems like I'm doing nothing
[09:25] <manco> it was working before?
[09:25] <Vituz> didn't install a driver.. although I did try to apt-get xorg-server-mach64 (or whatever it was)
[09:25] <sunil2> do you mean to re-install my ubuntu once again?????
[09:25] <Vituz> well I was able to use mplayer full screen before
[09:25] <Vituz> now I can't
[09:25] <lstarnes> sunil2: no
[09:25] <manco> hmmm
[09:25] <lstarnes> sunil2: you might want to if you can't resize your ubuntu partition
[09:25] <Vituz> and forced to use x11 just to get a vid at all
[09:25] <manco> well updating ubuntu  always causes problems
[09:25] <Vituz> but now its forced the sized of the encoding no bigger
[09:26] <Vituz> yah I know :)
[09:26] <manco> with the drivers
[09:26] <unkmar> Vituz: I generally state, switch to nvidia, life is easier.  Then follow with, you are likely using a laptop and don't have an option. :/
[09:26] <manco> reyea nvidia is better
[09:26] <Vituz> yah but this beast is old... I just use it as a backup server + videos
[09:26] <Vituz> main system is nvida
[09:26] <morphias> sunil2 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/gparted/gparted-live-stable/0.4.6-1/gparted-live-0.4.6-1.iso?use_mirror=cdnetworks-us-1
[09:26] <manco> reinstall driver thats the soluiton
[09:26] <petsounds> how can i adjust webcam brightness? what software i should use?
[09:26] <Vituz> gforce 9800 in this one
[09:27] <manco> ati & gforce?
[09:27] <Vituz> so just reinstall the xorg?
[09:27] <Vituz> 2 sep computers
[09:27] <unkmar> sunil2: generally, gparted will refuse to resize a windows/NTFS partition if it has not been cleanly unmounted.  Translation, Running chkdsk /f and doing a proper windows shutdown.
[09:27] <morphias> however sunil2, you can resize partitions by using a live cd with ubuntu
[09:27] <manco> yes the ati driver
[09:27] <Vituz> main pc nvidia.. sep fileserver/videos is the ati..
[09:27] <manco> uninstall the current driver
[09:27] <manco> well i have only one pc
[09:27] <unkmar> My adobe flash audio is broken.  Help?
[09:28] <manco> andonno how to sync 2
[09:28] <Vituz> I have a couple here... but only 2 with monitors at my desk
[09:28] <sunil2> i am having ubuntu-9.04 version cd
[09:28] <morphias> unkmar, 32 bit or 64 bit?
[09:28] <blackest_knight> unkmar:  have you rebooted ?
[09:28] <baz> hello, my new years resolution is to amass power, can someone make me an op pls. thank you
[09:28] <unkmar> blackest_knight: I have to reboot?  crud.
[09:28] <Vituz> crap already almost 5am... gotta jet.. thanks for pointing me in a diff direction
[09:28] <lstarnes> baz: you won't be made an op hehre if you ask
[09:28] <manco> cya
[09:28] <Vituz> cya later and happy new years :)
[09:28] <baz> lstarnes, how come
[09:28] <manco> happy new year
[09:29] <sunil2> is resize partions possible with ubuntu 9.04 version cd????
[09:29] <unkmar> morphias: probably 32bit despite my CPU being 64 capable.
[09:29] <morphias> sunil2, if thats a ubuntu 9.04 live cd, do a live boot, and open partition editor (system -> administartion -> partition)
[09:29] <lstarnes> baz: because being an op is seen as a huge responsibility
[09:29] <blackest_knight> baz: shame to have failed so early in the year ;)
[09:29] <lstarnes> baz: not an object of power
[09:29] <kapu> why is ubuntu generally used as a derogatory term in the OpenBSD community?  i.e. "don't ask questions here, go use Ubuntu"
[09:29] <baz> blackest_knight, i have 364 days before i fail
[09:30] <manco> wvdial error - A modem hung up the phone (exit code =16)  anyone know what is d pblm?
[09:30] <lstarnes> kapu: because it is one of the most frequent choices for beginning *nix users
[09:30] <kapu> o
[09:30] <sunil2> how to know whether my ubuntu 9.04 version cd is live cd or not
[09:30] <unkmar> blackest_knight: my audio works.  my flash audio does not.  My system had been rebooted many times since the original flash audio failure.  so if you were expecting the usual, reboot magic to work.  Not gonna work this time. :(
[09:30] <blackest_knight> unkmar:  i'm not saying you can't get flash audio working again without rebooting but it does seem to restore it most of the time
[09:30] <manco> sunil2 boot it up
[09:30] <manco> u will know
[09:30] <lstarnes> sunil2: if it has a desktop environment, it is live
[09:31] <blackest_knight> unkmar do you have vlc ?
[09:31] <baz> lstarnes, so what can i do to prove that if i were bestowed the power i wouldn't simply ban everyone in the channel because i could?
[09:31] <unkmar> blackest_knight: yes.
[09:31] <morphias> sunil2, the live cd will ask if you want to use the it as a live cd versus just installating it
[09:31] <unkmar> blackest_knight: and it plays audio just fine.
[09:31] <lstarnes> baz: you have already declared that your intention is to amass power
[09:32] <lstarnes> baz: that alone is grounds for dismissal
[09:32] <baz> lstarnes, yes this is true, go on
[09:32] <baz> lstarnes, oh really
[09:32] <sunil2> once i boot from cd i have observed the following options 1.try ubuntu without changing your system.2.install ubuntu3.memory checkup
[09:32] <manco> yea its a live cd
[09:32] <unkmar> blackest_knight: I recently has decided to learn to program flash.  Downloaded the adobe flex stuff and went through some .deb installs and such.
[09:32] <unkmar> blackest_knight: my flash audio stopped immediately after that.
[09:32] <blackest_knight> unkmar try this go to youtube and pick a video it will download it to /tmp copy it out of there and play it with vlc if you have audio its a firefox issue
[09:32] <manco> sunil2: the first option
[09:33] <lstarnes> sunil2: pick the first
[09:33] <baz> lstarnes, so what can i say to trick the ops into giving me power?
[09:33] <lstarnes> baz: nothing
[09:33] <sunil2> then how to proceed?
[09:34] <lstarnes> sunil2: once it finishes loading, go to System > Administration and look for the partition editor
[09:34] <manco> just click on it
[09:34] <baz> lstarnes, i dont understand, then how does anyone become an op
[09:34] <lstarnes> baz: it varies from channel to channel
[09:34] <hellyeah> hey
[09:34] <hellyeah> http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/8577/screenshotkk.png
[09:34] <hellyeah> what is reason of this bad view
[09:35] <sunil2> then
[09:35] <baz> lstarnes, what if i help lots of people here?
[09:35] <lstarnes> baz: but it usually depends on who the ops think would be best based on helpfulness, personality, judgement, and ability to handle various situations
[09:35] <lstarnes> baz: also, this is starting to get off-topic.  I think we need to move this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:35] <hellyeah> hey
[09:35] <hellyeah> some look pls
[09:35] <baz> lstarnes, thats profiling
[09:35] <blackest_knight> unkmar it usually is a firefox issue (although recently the flash installer tends to work you might have a couple of flash versions on your system now thou which might have upset things)
[09:35] <hellyeah> http://img189.imageshack.us/content.php?page=done&l=img189/8577/screenshotkk.png
[09:36] <lstarnes> hellyeah: I saw but I can't figure out a cause or a fix
[09:36] <sunil2> after opening partion editor how to proceed????
[09:36] <hellyeah> sometimes i have worse eivw
[09:36] <baz> lstarnes, are u an op?
[09:36] <hellyeah> all view mess sometimes
[09:36] <unkmar> blackest_knight: I would love to cleanse it of ALL flash and then reinstall it.
[09:36] <baz>  /isop lstarnes
[09:37] <lstarnes> sunil2: I forget exactly how to use gparted
[09:37] <lstarnes> sunil2: but it shouldn't be too hard to figure it out
[09:38] <manco> could someone tell me the command to display the name of the guy u wanna chat with
[09:38] <manco> like manco :
[09:38] <Bookman> What is the name for the java package?
[09:38] <unkmar> baz: I don't see lstarnes wearing an @.  So, not likely to be an op.
[09:38] <ae86-drifter> manco, press tab after typing the first few letters
[09:38] <manco> ae86-drifter: thanks
[09:38] <baz> unkmar, if someone has that before their name that means their an op?
[09:38] <blackest_knight> unkmar: synaptic should be able to search for flash and make sure you use remove completely don't want a dodgy config file getting reused when you reinstall
[09:39] <manco> ae86-drifter: thanks a lot
[09:39] <blackest_knight> baz you can be an op on channel #baz see /join #baz :)
[09:39] <lstarnes> baz: that should be ##baz, not #baz
[09:40] <Corbin> hi... uh... anyone want to answer a BCD/GRUB question?
[09:40] <hellyeah> using gparted is very easy
[09:40] <Corbin> trying to use BCD as my bootloader... can BCD load grub?
[09:40] <lstarnes> Corbin: yes, but you might want to use a tool such as EasyBCD to configure that
[09:41] <Corbin> yeah, i tried that
[09:41] <Corbin> i think the problem is that grub is not installing correctly
[09:41] <Corbin> when i do the ubuntu installer
[09:41] <Corbin> im doing a custom partition setup
[09:41] <manco> Corbin: What is BCD?
[09:41] <baz> blackest_knight, hehe
[09:41] <unkmar> blackest_knight: vlc was very unhappy with the swf I downloaded
[09:41] <Corbin> BCD is the windows bootloader fromVista onwards
[09:41] <manco> Corbin: oh i see
[09:42] <Corbin> but im putting grub on a logical partition inside an extended one
[09:42] <Corbin> is that ok?
[09:42] <Corbin> and if it is ok, any ideas why grub wouldn't install?
[09:42] <lstarnes> Corbin: it worked when I did it
[09:42] <Corbin> like /boot/grub/menu.lst doesnt exist
[09:42] <Corbin> and /boot/grub/setup1 isnt there... and so on
[09:42] <Corbin> but there are some grub files
[09:42] <blackest_knight> unkmar normally vlc can play the videos fine (great way to collect music via youtube ;))
[09:43] <yaodong> How to use ADSL
[09:43] <unkmar> yaodong: PPPoE
[09:43] <manco> wvdial error (mobile broadband)  The PPP daemon has died: A modem hung up the phone (exit code = 16) anyone know hat it means
[09:43] <yaodong> please detail
[09:44] <baz> what the hell floodbot is an op!! that guy's an idiot
[09:44] <lstarnes> manco: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=351882 appears to be relevant
[09:45] <lstarnes> baz: it's a bot, not a real person.  the ops here use it to keep the channel from being flooded
[09:45] <manco> lstarnes: ok will c to it tx
[09:45] <unkmar> manco: looks like bad username/password combo.
[09:45] <sunil2> how to use gparted?
[09:45] <baz> lstarnes, i dont care what nationality he is, he only criticizes
[09:45] <the-erm> Anyone know off the top of their head how you can set th X,Y of the notification?
[09:45] <lstarnes> baz: it, not he
[09:46] <lstarnes> sunil2: http://www.howtoforge.com/partitioning_with_gparted
[09:46] <the-erm> The volume is in the right place, various other notices are placed below that.
[09:46] <lstarnes> sunil2: some things in there will be slightly different
[09:47] <lstarnes> sunil2: but it should mostly be the same
[09:47] <manco> anyone know the speedfan equivalent of Ubuntu to monitor sys temp?
[09:48] <blackest_knight> unkmar: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1318171 might help you
[09:49] <Steil> hey
[09:49] <Steil> do you guys really trust ubuntu forums?
[09:49] <blackest_knight> manco:  i think that can vary with hardware  but google lmsensors for a start and maybe gkrell
[09:49] <Ganjafreak> Hey guys
[09:49] <manco> blackest_knight:  yea heard about that one
[09:50] <freakie> my pidgin status doesn't show my exaile music play..
[09:50] <Ganjafreak> What ya'll guys talking about.
[09:50] <freakie> can anybody help me..
[09:51] <Ganjafreak> It don't shwo your music that you have playing. You sure you have that show media player song info? checked? It should have a little thing you click like on emesene
[09:51] <blackest_knight> Steil:  why wouldn't you trust ubuntu forums if any one stuffs up intentionally or not someone else would reply and correct the misinformation
[09:51] <manco> Steil: yea its the foremost place to get answer on Ubuntu
[09:52] <Ganjafreak> I know right, most people escape to IRC's to talk not about problems just relax and talk about random shit.
[09:52] <blackest_knight> ubuntu community documentation tends to be good too
[09:52] <manco> freakie: You have to tell whats the pblm
[09:52] <Ganjafreak> He did
[09:52] <Ganjafreak> He says his song info isn't showing in Pidgin

[09:53] <petsounds> hi, does anybody can help? i'm looking for utility that can adjust my webcam brightness, my friend always complaining about dark webcam on skype. thanks
[09:53] <Ganjafreak> Ah, well then check your preferences on exaile. It should say something like Show media info etc.
[09:53] <freakie> before this the setup was easy when i use ubuntu 9.04
[09:54] <Ganjafreak> Yeah use 9.04, 9.10 sucks your wireless internet to 20% I don't get it :S, That is why I don't upgrade.

[09:55] <blackest_knight> Ganjafreak: sucks your wireless to 20% mines fine :P
[09:55] <Steil> manco: do you remember back to like....2006 when arnieboy was on the forums? everyoen praised his advice like it was a godsend.....only his advice was bad and setting a root password rather than using sudo was somethiing frowned upon....but everyone praised arnie boy
[09:55] <Ganjafreak> accident got my self
[09:55] <Steil> thats why i dont use the forums
[09:55] <dezza> Howdy all, going back to lurking now.
[09:55] <Ganjafreak> Hm, well I didnt move my card or anything
[09:55] <Ganjafreak> And how do you conncet to another irc server in xchat?
[09:55] <Ganjafreak> I don't think you can only one irc at a time, not the channels the servers
[09:55] <lstarnes> Ganjafreak: /newserver server-address
[09:56] <Ganjafreak> ah
[09:56] <Ganjafreak> ty
[09:56] <manco> Steil: well donno about that but I solved many pblms using the  forum
[09:56] <Ganjafreak> but I dont' know it by heart. I want to view my list
[09:56] <Steil> manco: was the advice correct?
[09:56] <manco> Steil: yea
[09:56] <Steil> did it do anything tha tbreaks package managemnt or fucks your system royally?
[09:56] <unkmar> blackest_knight: I tried the little script. and I am not going to remove my pulseaudio. it was working before. it can work again.
[09:56] <manco> Steil: nope
[09:57] <Spatule> hello

[10:03] <smgr> hi
[10:04] <Ganjafreak> hello
[10:04] <blackest_knight> xiong:  by upgrading discovering problems and reporting them hopefully will mean 10.4 will not be quite so badly messed up

[10:06] <blackest_knight> used to work on dial up
[10:06] <Ganjafreak> "I am the punishment of god, if you wouldn't of commited such great sins. He wouldn't of sent a punishment like me upon you"

[10:07] <krishna> Myrtti, is it in repository ?
[10:07] <Dhuski> manco, I thought regular defragmentation was necersary for a fast system...
[10:07] <Ganjafreak> How do you guys request a VPN up here again
[10:07] <manco> Dhuski: defragmenting only for windows
[10:07] <misreckoning> process "phy0" is taking too much CPU here, what is it?

[10:08] <xiong> blackest_knight, You're right. I should do my part. I'm afraid of submitting incoherent bug reports, though; I don't always know just what I'm talking about. I mean, I have a good idea what makes a good bug report but I know I don't know the terms well enough to describe precisely what I see.
[10:08] <manco> uh oh o yhink its starting again
[10:08] <krishna> blackest_knight, in save as window  there is no .xls option in other format...
[10:08] <Myrtti> krishna: no, what i meant is that is the information in the text file separated by commas?
[10:08] <manco> I think flooding is starting agian
[10:08] <Ganjafreak> Yep.
[10:08] <Myrtti> manco: move on
[10:09] <manco> Myrtti:  what?
[10:09] <Ganjafreak> Anyone need a Windows OS with already activated or anty adove program, I hav acces to a r00ted MS server
[10:09] <blackest_knight> krishna: hmm i would have thought open office would save as xls  how about gnumeric (highly under rated spreadsheet)
[10:09] <Myrtti> the less attention you give to it, the faster we get on the actual business

[10:10] <Guest33589> hello everyone. I don't seem to be able to play MP3 files on karmic, have installed the restricted codecs pack but still having no luck. Anyone able to help me please?
[10:11] <manco> Guest33589: what does it say wen u try to play a file
[10:11] <Guest33589> it doesnt say anything, it just wont play the file, any program i try and load it in, it wont even start playing it
[10:11] <misreckoning> I'm going to ask one more time :) What is "phy0" process doing? It takes 99% of my CPU sometimes. It is a root process, not in /usr/bin or anywhere (checked with $ ps aux), with -5 nice property. Wtf?
[10:12] <manco> Guest33589: How did u download the codec?
[10:12] <blackest_knight> Guest33589:  install medibuntu  (just sets up the repository) and vlc
[10:13] <Guest33589> downloaded the restricted  extras from the ubuntu help pages. ok ill try medibuntu
[10:13] <aooa> hi
[10:13] <blackest_knight> phy0 is something to do with wifi
[10:14] <blackest_knight> misreckoning: phy0 is something to do with wifi
[10:14] <Guest33589> oh, is the medibuntu repository the same for karmic as jaunty?
[10:15] <misreckoning> blackest_knight: yes I read that somewhere, it has to do something with atheros (which I have)
[10:15] <misreckoning> blackest_knight: someone was complaining about SSH starting it
[10:16] <misreckoning> blackest_knight: I'm going to kill -9 it until it gets fixed, looks like :P
[10:16] <randhol> Hi. A freind of mine has problems with Karmic. He made a backup of photos on a CD, but afterwards he cannot read the CD in ubuntu. He can read CDs he has made earlier (prior to Karmic). Anybody heard of some problem like this? we are trying to find out what is going on. Tested both brasero and k3b
[10:16] <blackest_knight> misreckoning: i've not had that issue so can't really help
[10:16] <advil0-netbook> hey
[10:16] <advil0-netbook> i've got a quick problem, requires a quick solution
[10:17] <misreckoning> blackest_knight: respect :)
[10:17] <unkmar> finally, my flashaudio is working again.  blackest_knight: thank you for your help.
[10:17] <blackest_knight> randhol:  can he read the disc on any other pc ?
[10:17] <unkmar> the solution was sudo apt-get install libflashsupport
[10:18] <blackest_knight> advil0-netbook: don't ask to ask
[10:19] <advil0-netbook> lol sorry
[10:19] <Jad-J> hello I want to share my internet connection from my laptop (ubuntu) to my pc (archlinux) I've tried the ubunutu tutorials but they didn't work can anyone help me?
[10:19] <advil0-netbook> i installed 9.10 via Wubi on my HP Mini 311, and when i boot it, it installs like I expect it to, but when i reboot after it completes, it acts as though it's the first boot still
[10:19] <advil0-netbook> it installs over and over again
[10:19] <blackest_knight> jad-j did you enable ip4 forwarding in /etc/sys-ctrl.conf
[10:19] <disappearedng> Hey my mysql is messed up, then when I do a complete removal, it says that it will uninstall like 400mb of applications, how do I just single handedly uninstall mysql and use a lower version (5.0) per say
[10:20] <mancos> Hi
[10:20] <Jad-J> blackest_knight: no.. wait I'm searching how
[10:21] <blackest_knight> jad-j i could perhaps give you a useful script
[10:21] <PsyCl0ne> Hi all would anyone happen to be on this early in the morning?
[10:21] <Jad-J> blackest_knight: why does it need a script:|
[10:22] <tech_> hello
[10:22] <tech_> any one in here
[10:22] <Jad-J> tech_: ask
[10:22] <PsyCl0ne> Would anyone know why on my ubuntu 9.10 desktop the screen randomly disappears?
[10:22] <Jad-J> PsyCl0ne: randomly disappears means changing to black?
[10:22] <advil0-netbook> too many people in here asking quesitons :P
[10:23] <Jad-J> for seconds.. then back to normal?
[10:23] <PsyCl0ne> Jad-J yes, everything will be shown then it will randomly go black
[10:23] <blackest_knight> well i use it to configure the ports currently my netbook uses mobile broadband and is connected by wifi to a router which uses the netbook as a gateway for my other pc's
[10:23] <advil0-netbook> @blackest_knight: any ideas on my issue?
[10:23] <Jad-J> PsyCl0ne: will go black.. for how much time? (for reboot..? or for seconds..)
[10:24] <randhol> blackest_knight, has only one PC, but a Philips dvd player could read it
[10:24] <PsyCl0ne> Jad-J its random, but I know after a reboot bios will show the checks and Illl see the ubuntu loading logo then itll go black but Ill still hear to boot up music
[10:24] <blackest_knight> advil0-netbook: never done anything with wubi , you could boot from the cd and do a standard install
[10:25] <advil0-netbook> can't boot from the CD, netbook
[10:25] <unkmar> advil0-netbook: do you have a desktop to create a bootable USB with?
[10:25] <blackest_knight> advil0-netbook:  got a usb stick of 1gb or more ? see unetbootin
[10:25] <PsyCl0ne> Jad-J, it actually just started like 10 min ago, my dad was brousing the net and the screen went black
[10:25] <Jad-J> PsyCl0ne: describe more hte time of the black screen.. and when does it come back? (I want to know maybe it is a pc problem... not from the operating system)
[10:25] <advil0-netbook> yeah i might try that, not sure et
[10:25] <advil0-netbook> yet*
[10:26] <blackest_knight> randhol:  is the disk finalized ?
[10:26] <PsyCl0ne> Jad-J kk so it just came back for about 30 seconds and itll be out for about 3-4 min
[10:26] <randhol> blackest_knight, he said brasero did finalise it
[10:27] <Jad-J> PsyCl0ne: laptop or pc...? do you have another operating system..?
[10:27] <randhol> blackest_knight, he lost net just now so I don't have dmesg errors, but are there any special things we can do to debug the problem?
[10:28] <PsyCl0ne> Jad-J PC, no its ubuntu only its an older computer but its been stable and reliable for quite a while now
[10:28] <nigtv> Hello, I was trying to burn a CD earlier today, so I popped in a blank and the whole system locked up, not even responding to sys req, so I restarted and now it says it cannot find the harddrive. I've checked the bios, changed the cable, checked the switches, among other things, and its not having any effect. I'm running 9.10 on a dell (dont know the model), and am not sure what to try next
[10:28] <blackest_knight> randhol:  time to get googling i think
[10:28] <Jad-J> PsyCl0ne: oh okay... but it might be problem from the screen.. or maybe from the cables. you can try by changing screens.. or by installing another OS
[10:28] <Jad-J> so you could see the reason of the problem
[10:29] <nigtv> I've never had this problem not respond to the things I've tried, and I've never had this problem on this computer before.
[10:29] <randhol> blackest_knight, I am, but haven't found any useful things yet
[10:29] <blackest_knight> nigtv: is the harddrive detected in the bios ?
[10:30] <nigtv> blackest_knight to be honest I'm not sure how to check that, but it does spin up when I start the system. It's not doing anything differently than it usually does so I would assume so
[10:31] <nigtv> It's listed in the "system setup utility"
[10:31] <blackest_knight> nigtv: spinning just says there is power to it ,  it should announce what drives it inds prior to reaching grub
[10:32] <nigtv> blackest_knight actually, I forgot I have that skipped, lemme go see if I can get it to come up, I totally spaced that lol
[10:33] <disappearedng_>  
[10:33] <blackest_knight> nigtv:  sometimes a hdd can get messed up and need to run a self check , this can take ages (does the hdd light come on ?)
[10:34] <Xfact> anybody can tell me how to open .bin files?
[10:34] <Xfact> How to access .bin files?
[10:34] <iKernel> Xfact, chmod +x *.bin ./*.bin
[10:34] <randhol> blackest_knight, how can one finalize a written CD to really test if that is the problem
[10:35] <Xfact> iKernel: terminal saying 'permission denied'
[10:35] <blackest_knight> k3b has a menu option i think (disk info  says something i think)
[10:35] <randhol> ok. will check
[10:36] <blackest_knight> sudo chmod +x *.bin ./*.bin
[10:36] <nigtv> blackest_knight yes it is detected, and it passes the "IDE drive diagnostics", the cd drive is also detected, HD as primary master and CD as primary slave
[10:36] <iKernel> Xfact, what blackest_knight said
[10:37] <blackest_knight> nigtv so whats the last thing it says
[10:37] <Xfact> iKernel: can you explain little more...I am totally new to linux...
[10:37] <nigtv> I'm not 100% sure what is going wrong, it doesn't even get to grub, It just comes up with "press f1 to retry boot, press f2 to run setup utility"
[10:37] <grawity> Xfact: you too - can you explain a little more about what are those .bin files you're trying to access?
[10:37] <iKernel> Xfact, no
[10:38] <blackest_knight> nigtv sata drive ?
[10:38] <blackest_knight> sometimes bin files are disc images
[10:39] <blackest_knight> nigtv: i would try booting with a livecd
[10:39] <nigtv> IDE blackest_knight, I believe thats...sorry if I answered wrong heh.
[10:39] <Xfact> grawity: I am trying to open a JDK setup .bin file with terminal...but terminal saying 'permission denied'
[10:39] <sunil2> how to use gparted?????
[10:40] <grawity> sunil2: 1) open gparted
[10:40] <blackest_knight> Xfact: its a lot easier to get it from the repository
[10:40] <Xfact> ohhh...ok
[10:40] <nigtv> blackest_knight I have, DSL and ubuntu, both seem to boot from the cd just fine, but both encounter weird issues, the ubuntu cd says it cannot find the drive, and the DSL freezes during the initial start up on almost every device that isnt skipped
[10:40] <grawity> Xfact: JDK should be in Ubuntu repositories. But if you want to install it from .bin anyway - go to terminal and use 'chmod +x' on that file.
[10:41] <sunil2> i have opened the gparted. how to resize my partions
[10:41] <Xfact> can ubuntu access .rpm files?
[10:41] <Xfact> y/n?
[10:41] <blackest_knight> nigtv: the ubuntu live cd boots to desktop ?
[10:41] <ubuntu__> r irc.star-fleet.net
[10:41] <blackest_knight> Xfact: yes via alien
[10:41] <llutz> Xfact: yes, if rpm is installed
[10:42] <Ov3rf10w> Xfact, sudo apt-get install rpm
[10:42] <haresh> how to make my unbentu look like windows ?
[10:42] <nigtv> blackest_knight no, it errors when it is the bouncy loading bar stage before the growing loading bar phase, if that makes sense?
[10:42] <Xfact> ok thanks
[10:42] <Ov3rf10w> Xfact, rpm -Uvh file.rpm
[10:42] <blackest_knight> nigtv: thats nasty
[10:43] <Xfact> ok....:)
[10:43] <grawity> Xfact: Ubuntu is Debian-based, so it uses .deb itself. It's possible to convert .rpm packages to .deb with 'alien', or even install them directly with 'rpm', but it is not recommended.
[10:43] <lyt> is there anybody can speak chinese?
[10:43] <psycho_oreos> !cn | lyt
[10:43] <bazhang> lyt, in #ubuntu-cn
[10:43] <blackest_knight> haresh google XP_Gnome.tar
[10:43] <lyt> thx!
[10:44] <Xfact> ohh...it's convert rpm to .deb then runs setup ...cool thanks
[10:44] <blackest_knight> nigtv: can it boot cd with hdd disconnected ?
[10:44] <bazhang> Xfact, what rpm were you trying to convert
[10:45] <haresh> how can i install it
[10:45] <Xfact> realplayer setup
[10:45] <jussi01> !rpm
[10:45] <nigtv> haresh just fyi btw for what its worth, during my quests to make it look like windows, its hard to get it to be convincing without using various images from windows, which are somewhat hard to find
[10:45] <bazhang> Xfact, no need for that
[10:45] <nigtv> blackest_knight no, it acts the exact same way
[10:45] <grawity> Xfact: Why in the world would you need RealPlayer these days...
[10:46] <blackest_knight> haresh:  when you find it you will also find the instructions (extract and run the setup script)
[10:46] <Ov3rf10w> Xfact, download .deb http://www.real.com/linux?src=realhome_linux_bb_0_1_1_0_0_3_0&pcode=rn&opage=realhome_linux_bb
[10:46] <Xfact> just maybe realplayer sounds cool
[10:46] <haresh> after install i can deleat the files right
[10:46] <Xfact> thanks for link .deb available
[10:46] <Ov3rf10w> :)
[10:46] <nigtv> blackest_knight do you think its safe to assume that ubuntu probably wouldnt just randomly cause the machine to become unbootable entirely on its own? As in is it safe to assume its more likely that this is a hardware issue
[10:47] <bazhang> haresh, just generally drag the tar.gz to the theme manager
[10:47] <blackest_knight> nigtv: can you try the hdd in another pc i think the controller may be fubared
[10:47] <Xfact> you guys are guiding me, I am new but not feeling alone in linux...thanks  :)
[10:47] <haresh> i know i have installed it can i remove the installion files ?
[10:48] <bazhang> haresh, from your desktop? or wherever you downloaded them?
[10:48] <nigtv> blackest_knight yea, I'll try that tomorrow. It's a little labor intensive at 4AM :p
[10:48] <nigtv> oh well, thanks :D just wish i made more frequent backups lol.
[10:48] <blackest_knight> nigtv: seems likely to me, you might be able to work round using a usb to ide converter cable  if it is the ide port
[10:49] <Naomi83> ltreirc.net
[10:49] <Xfact> will 9.10 support DSL Internet connection via USB?
[10:50] <BlackJack> Dreaman
[10:50] <nigtv> blackest_knight suppose I could get a live cd to boot with the hd hooked up, you think there are any places that would be good to look for a log or something that could tell me why it crashed in the first place?
[10:50] <blackest_knight> nigtv: the drive may be ok (it doesnt smell funny does it) but its very worrying that nothing boots (actually you may find the secondary ide controller is ok)
[10:51] <psycho_oreos> Xfact, don't know and somewhat doubtful
[10:51] <llutz> Xfact: as usbnet is installed, it should
[10:51] <nigtv> nah, its not smelly or loud. It seems to be fine, it passes the little system diagnostic test thing whatever thats worth heh
[10:51] <Xfact> us'usbnet' i have to install?
[10:51] <blackest_knight> nigtv:  i think its probably hardware failure
[10:51] <llutz> Xfact: its a kernel-module, installed by default.
[10:52] <Xfact> ok
[10:52] <nigtv> hmm, maybe ill try putting another hd into the broken computer before putting the harddrive into a totally okay computer
[10:52] <nigtv> alrighty, bed time, therell be more time to pull my hair out tomorrow. Adios d00dz
[10:53] <blackest_knight> nigtv i'd try moving the cable from the primary to the secondary ide port
[10:53] <blackest_knight> late by 17 seconds ...
[10:56] <nn477> shipit.ubuntu.com says ive received too many shipments, and that I must contribute to receive more... the problem is im a shamless linux n00b, so there's not much I can do to be helpful. and downloading it isn't an option, bandwidth here is expensive. what now?

[11:08] <silare> hi all. How do I import Albatross's window border theme to GNOME? Or is there an import out there? I can't find one.

[11:10] <tingi> how do i mirror remote directory ? i want only subfolders (i can specify them through a regexp). I always want directories + subfolders mirrored into my local machines created after 25th Dec . So if someone creates a folder on 30th Jan, it should be mirrored onto my local machine ?

[11:13] <Xfact> any careless usage of 'sudo' type critical command can harm my system?
[11:13] <armornick> krdk: slash 'join ' #channel
[11:13] <ardchoille> Xfact: yes, it can wipe out the whole system if  you're not careful
[11:14] <Xfact> I am very beginner so I should not use it...
[11:14] <Xfact> ok
[11:14] <ardchoille> !sudo | Xfact have a look at this
[11:14] <armornick> Xfact: try asking on the forums what commands do before you copy-paste something someone gives you
[11:14] <shylent> hmm, how come I dont have a "analog mix" or something in my mixer?
[11:15] <Xfact> at ubuntuforums.org?
[11:15] <shylent> is there a way to record audio from analog loopback (my soundcard supports it)?
[11:15] <Xfact> ok
[11:15] <shvabo2000> hi everyone,..does anyone knows how to make hardy recognize my cd/dvd rom..I had 7.10 installed and upgraded to hardy trough update menager,now there is no cd/dvd rom
[11:17] <jatt> I cannot unlock gdmsetup, is that a known issue in karmic?
[11:17] <jatt> I want to enable autologin
[11:17] <Xfact> sometimes major update does problems, so downloading fresh CD image and installing it...is recommended I think, I hope some other people agree with me :)
[11:17] <Xfact> *will
[11:18] <ardchoille> Xfact: I never do upgrades, I always do fresh installs
[11:18] <Xfact> but what about settings?
[11:18] <Xfact> how to backup those?
[11:18] <armornick> Xfact: the dot files/folders in you home folder
[11:18] <psycho_oreos> take screenies, documentation, or otherwise a snapshot of your setup
[11:19] <shvabo2000> how do I do that
[11:19] <Xfact> only copying those ".files" will keep my settings?
[11:19] <ardchoille> Xfact: I just added a small bash script to the forums that backs up your home directory: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1369540

[11:31] <jeffjeffdejeff> hi all.  need some help with grub please.  I have (had) a dual boot xp ubuntu setup.  xp on one drive and ubuntu on another. after going through some menus after booting from an xp disk (won't bore you with the details as to why) my grub has disappeared and boots straight into xp every time. I'm currently using the live disc atm, and have tried restoring grub as per the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[11:31] <Cool_Nick> Simple question, whats the command to do a long format for ext4 on /dev/sdb1 (It is already formatted the quick way with a program, but I would like a long format to possibly find hidden errors on the new drive)
[11:32] <ziroday> !grub | jeffjeffdejeff instructions are here
[11:33] <Cool_Nick> !format | Cool_Nick test
[11:33] <llutz> Cool_Nick: there's no short/long "formatting"
[11:33] <llutz> Cool_Nick: fsck/badblocks might what you're looking for
[11:34] <Cool_Nick> In windows theres teh optoin "Quick format", feels like I had that checked when I formatted with linux a minute ago
[11:34] <Cool_Nick> Program: Gnome partition editor
[11:34] <llutz> Cool_Nick: you were talking about ext4, that not a windows fs
[11:35] <Cool_Nick> llutz: I was defining what I was talking about with short/long formatting
[11:35] <Cool_Nick> but you are probably correct with doign a badblock search with fsck
[11:35] <llutz> Cool_Nick: and the answer still is: there's no short/long "formatting" for unix-fs
[11:36] <Cool_Nick> I didn't know that response was specifically for unix file systems...I figured you weren't understanding where I was coming from.
[11:36] <Cool_Nick> Thanks for the information

[11:38] <jeffjeffdejeff> well mr bot, i'm following the guide in the link you sent me and have fallen at the first hurdle.  anyone able to tell me why fdisk -l says Cannot open /dev/sda, Cannot open /dev/sdb?
[11:38] <airtonix> jeffjeffdejeff, tried prefixxing the command with sudo ?
[11:39] <jeffjeffdejeff> love you.
[11:39] <airtonix> jeffjeffdejeff, also : are you targeting those devices as parameters or just runn disk -l ?
[11:39] <airtonix> fdisk -L *
[11:39] <jeffjeffdejeff> just following: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub
[11:40] <jeffjeffdejeff> really am confused about the whole thing.
[11:40] <airtonix> jeffjeffdejeff, you installed windows after ubuntu ?
[11:42] <jeffjeffdejeff> airtonix: long story.  windows was already installed ages ago on one disk.  about a year later i installed ubuntu on another disk and could dual boot.  yesterday i was trying to load new storage controller drivers for xp and somehow it's made grub disappear.
[11:43] <airtonix> jeffjeffdejeff, makes sense. windows needs to control the mbr to choose the device and partition it loads from, typical operation for installing *anything* in windows is to nuke everything and reboot
[11:43] <jeffjeffdejeff> just boots straight into xp now.  i tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=22435 and it didn't work. :(
[11:44] <airtonix> jeffjeffdejeff, like that pages says you first need to be sure of your installed ubuntu version.
[11:44] <jeffjeffdejeff> 9.04 is what's installed
[11:44] <airtonix> jeffjeffdejeff, and i assume you are operating on it now with a 9.04 live cd  ?
[11:44] <jeffjeffdejeff> and i'm runninng an ibex live disc which i'm in right now
[11:45] <airtonix> jeffjeffdejeff, isn't ibex 8.10?

[11:50] <fiona_> DrManhattan, Its not a hardware fault and that has already been done
[11:50] <airtonix> jeffjeffdejeff, it'd be good if you could mention at which point your having problems
[11:50] <dnivra> Dis: i don't think you can get 8.04 disc. But surely you can download the ISO file from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

[11:51] <psicobra> any clues in it?
[11:51] <dotdot> using metacity as a composite WM makes alt-tab very slow (about a second) on a recent laptop with 128mb video card. Is this normal?

[11:57] <Xfact> airtonix: but i have to add some lines on software source....and i m little bit in doubt, cause last time for this same cause mistakenly i stopped all the update sources... :X
[11:57] <Xfact> but I am trying
[11:57] <Xfact> thanks :)
[11:57] <soreau> zoom: It is possible to view it on another viewport, which are compiz workspaces
[11:57] <fiona_> psicobra, Okay http://paste.ubuntu.com/349904/
[11:57] <airtonix> Xfact, before you do, google "vlc ppa"
[11:58] <soreau> zoom: More specifically, it is possible to have it open on another viewport
[11:58] <airtonix> Xfact, also did you mention your version of ubuntu ?
[11:58] <jeffjeffdejeff> airtonix: i've just downloaded a 9.04 disk - do you think it would make any difference if i booted into that rather than the ibex disk?
[11:58] <Xfact> 8.04
[11:58] <soreau> zoom: This is possible if you use compiz as your window manager
[11:58] <airtonix> jeffjeffdejeff, im not sure, but it would remove that as one of the factors no doubt.
[11:59] <DrManhattan> I know its not a bad iso too, its the cdrom FROM ubuntu
[11:59] <airtonix> zoom, by desktop you mean virtual desktop? (as in the ones you reach by holding ctrl alt left arrow )
[11:59] <zoom> soreau, thx i'm using compiz, for exemple: i want to open firefox on workspace number four how can i do ?

[12:01] <converge> im using ubuntu 9.10 and is everything working fine, just the sound is not because it is poping up some noises time in time, some ideia how to fix it ?
[12:02] <airtonix> zoom, devilspie is good for when you won't be using compiz (it also works while compiz is turned on )
[12:02] <soreau> zoom: Note that compiz has nothing to do with devilspie and does not support it
[12:02] <airtonix> soreau, positive about that ?
[12:02] <soreau> airstrike: yes
[12:03] <Xfact> thanks thanks thanks
[12:03] <psicobra> fiona_, looks like it could be a power managment thing does this happen when the laptop tries to hibernate/sleep
[12:03] <DrManhattan> well, this is lame. there's so many people reporting this issue online, im amazed there's no solution
[12:03] <airtonix> Xfact, ppa is usually the first place you want to look for latest versions of software you cant get from normal repos.
[12:03] <fiona_> no psicobra it is completely random and always when I am using it
[12:04] <airtonix> jeffjeffdejeff, so it didn't work this time round (i assume you used the last command there on the page you linked me (its not in your pastebin))

[12:11] <naranco> no sound in intrepid after suspend.. this used to work perfectly... any ideas?

[12:17] <Xfact> hat is the difference between 'dev' and 'deb-src'
[12:17] <Xfact> I mean what is the difference between 'deb' and 'deb-src'?
[12:17] <llutz> Xfact: src means source-code
[12:18] <Possesion> anybody know anything about tethering a phone to ubuntu?
[12:18] <legend2440> Xfact: deb i sthe package you need to install it   deb-src is the source files if you were going to compile it
[12:18] <Yanick_> happy new year!
[12:18] <jadakren> Xfact, the page you were sent to (the vlc ppa page ) describes the lines you need to paste into your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
[12:19] <Xfact> I have to add bothPPA deb and deb-src link in the software source?
[12:19] <Possesion> meh this sucks
[12:20] <jadakren> Xfact, as far as i am aware you only need the deb-src if you want to compile the packages your self... so not normally
[12:20] <llutz> Xfact: deb-src only if you plan to build own packages
[12:21] <Xfact> oops! i added both deb and deb-src link in software source...is that wrong?
[12:21] <llutz> Xfact: won't harm

[12:30] <Deviad> Hello
[12:30] <Deviad> Can anyone pls tell me how to solve an audio issue with xvidcap?
[12:30] <Deviad> I found no solution to the problem looking at the forum
[12:31] <alabd_> humble use this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 to share internet , what should humble do without ipmasq app ?
[12:32] <deviad> Hello
[12:32] <deviad> Sorry I had to switch to another irc program
[12:33] <deviad> so, does anyone know how to resolve the audio issue affecting xvdicap under 9.10
[12:33] <deviad> ?
[12:33] <deviad> Basically I hear just noice after recording... like scratches, or something like that
[12:33] <deviad> it takes the audio from /dev/dsp
[12:33] <deviad> I tried with padsp xvidcap and with aoss xvidcap
[12:34] <kulight> any one managed to install the ppa 195 nvidia drivers?
[12:34] <deviad> but I had no luck with those too
[12:34] <deviad> kulight, I was willing to, but I can't find a guide I had where it was explained how to create a deb package out of those drivers
[12:34] <Xfact> Openoffice is batter or Koffice?
[12:35] <deviad> anyhow, you need to download your current kernel's sources
[12:35] <deviad> and also another thing I can't recall right now, where there are the headers... I guess kernel headers
[12:35] <kulight> there is a ppa with the driivers but the package wont install
[12:35] <deviad> mmmm
[12:35] <tonika> quit
[12:35] <deviad> A long time ago you needed to download kernel-sources and something like kernel-headers
[12:36] <Xfact> Openoffice is batter or Koffice suit (KDE)?
[12:36] <deviad> then you had to run a few dpkg commands to create the deb package out of the nvidia installer
[12:36] <deviad> you had to extract the contents of the installer to do this
[12:36] <deviad> then you just typed those commands which created a module to add to the kernel
[12:37] <deviad> this way whenever you wanted to undo what you did you just had to type apt-get remove name of the package
[12:37] <kulight> i know this things but its not relevant to my current problem
[12:37] <kulight> i get the error code i get
[12:37] <deviad> OK, sorry. I can't help you then. I haven't been using Linux for 2 - 3 years
[12:37] <Myrtti> Xfact: up to your own preferences
[12:38] <deviad> It's everything I recall
[12:38] <c3l> I need help getting ventrilo (2.1.4) to run properly. i can get it to run through wine, but not more...
[12:38] <jadakren> deviad, who are you talking to ?
[12:38] <deviad> to kulight
[12:39] <lilyshu> hiredgoon, can i install gnome 2.28 on hardy?
[12:39] <kulight> deviad ty any way
[12:39] <jadakren> deviad, is good to prefix msgs with names for others.
[12:39] <jadakren> kulight, you don't need ppa for nvidia drivers btw
[12:39] <bazhang> kulight, which ppa? how did you add the repo, and what version of ubuntu are you on
[12:40] <deviad> back to my problem, how can I solve this issue where basically I just hear something like scratches... I installed the aoss package but didn't help to solve the issue...
[12:40] <deviad> I'm talking about xvidcap
[12:40] <kulight> bazhang im on karmic 64 bit
[12:40] <jadakren> deviad, can you mention sound card make and model, ubuntu version also .
[12:40] <kulight> i know i dont have to but i wanted to try the new drivers
[12:40] <deviad> I'm using a Macbook pro 4.1, karmic koala
[12:41] <kulight> dpkg-divert: `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa by nvidia-glx-195' clashes with `diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1.xlibmesa by nvidia-glx-185'
[12:41] <kulight> dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx-195_195.30-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa4_amd64.deb (--unpack):
[12:41] <deviad> I can hear the sound from sound recorder using my integrated mic
[12:41] <lilyshu> hiredgoon, can i install gnome 2.28 on ubuntu hardy?
[12:41] <Xfact> ok I seen that for later versions of Ubuntu PPA providing many later versions of software...soif I add PPA link for later version of Ubuntu will it harm my system for version missmatch? (Like for Ubuntu 8.04,PPA of Ubuntu 9.04)
[12:41] <bazhang> kulight, please pastebin any errors and tell me exactly how you added the ppa
[12:41] <amelius> X is behaving as if Ctrl were held down; at first I reckoned I must've triggered some accessibility feature, but that would presumably time out after a few minutes at most, and nothing's changing; any pointers? plain 8.04.whateverthecurrentrevisionnumberisimtoolazytocheck
[12:42] <lilyshu> hiredgoon, sorry i forget to untick nick completion :-)
[12:42] <bazhang> Xfact, you dont want to mix versions.
[12:42] <jadakren> Xfact, it may or may not harm your system , but the software definitly can't be garunteed to work...
[12:43] <Xfact> I am trying to discover something new and batter but not as the rule... :)
[12:43] <kulight> bazhang sorry for the spam i think i added the repository via apt line (the gui way)
[12:43] <jadakren> kulight, where do you see information that nvidia 1.95 has a ppa ?
[12:44] <kulight> jadakren https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa
[12:44] <jadakren> kulight, http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html (i only see 190.53 ... no 195 )
[12:44] <jadakren> kulight, i don;t think that is a driver ppa
[12:44] <deviad> I see lots of improvements though in this Ubuntu... I'm beginning to think about installing it on my desktop: q9550, 4 GB ram, 1 TB HD and gtx 295... sounds fun. :D
[12:45] <kulight> jadakren it not a matter of thinking...
[12:46] <bazhang> kulight, that is for mplayer
[12:46] <jadakren> kulight, why does the offical nvidia page only have 190.53 then ?
[12:46] <kulight> jadakren how should i know
[12:47] <bazhang> kulight, those are not nvidia drivers
[12:47] <jadakren> kulight, ah i see now.. beta drivers
[12:47] <jadakren> bazhang, http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=d686347b359ba2a6d16afe0066845c21&t=122606
[12:47] <bqf> is there any reason for NOT using "do-release-upgrade -m desktop" for a 9.04->9.10 upgrade on a desktop system? (this is a very old computer, using the regular GUI for the upgrade slows it down by a few hours)
[12:47] <kulight>                 nvidia-graphics-drivers-195
[12:48] <jeffjeffdejeff> can't remember the name of who was helping me earlier, but i'm up and running again - so thank you!
[12:48] <jadakren> kulight, offical unix driver page only shows stable releases (so beta drivers are'nt listed)
[12:48] <jeffjeffdejeff> now to sort out this bloody windows :(
[12:48] <bazhang> ah I see now
[12:48] <jadakren> jeffjeffdejeff, good stuff.
[12:49] <jadakren> bazhang, doesn;t help that the offical page doesn't mention they don't list beta drivers (or where to get them )
[12:49] <Xfact> and the result is out: it saying 'Dependency is not satisfiable' :(
[12:49] <ziroday> bqf: nope
[12:49] <jadakren> Xfact, expected (and working as intended) don't mix repo version
[12:50] <Xfact> anybody can tell me what is 'repo version'?
[12:50] <Xfact> or i will search at google
[12:50] <Xfact> ohh
[12:50] <jadakren> Xfact, i mean do not mix repositories meant for different versions of ubuntu
[12:50] <bqf> ziroday: ok, thanks. i already tried googling for possible downsides and couldn't find any, just wanted to make sure there wasn't something i was missing.
[12:51] <ashley__> hey guys, im having some trouble installing wine
[12:51] <bazhang> Xfact, repository is repo; 9.04 should be used only with 9.04 repos
[12:51] <Xfact> ok
[12:51] <ashley__> or rather, installing ies4linux
[12:51] <mati> ok
[12:51] <jadakren> Xfact, not unless the developer for the repositories has mentioned that the repository is for all versions (meaning the software is designed to work on all versions )
[12:51] <mati> de
[12:51] <mati> php de
[12:51] <jadakren> ashley__, have you tried using winetricks ?
[12:52] <Xfact> thanks , no I am feeling a little bit experienced in linux...
[12:52] <Xfact> *now
[12:52] <ashley__> i haven't, i'll try it and see if it helps jadakren
[12:52] <ashley__> i'm getting "corrupted file: ie55sp2_9x.zip" when trying to install ies4linux

[12:53] <jadakren> ashley__, (i haven't bothered installing internet exploerer (i find i get more reliable test results by using windows in a virtual machine))
[12:53] <bazhang> anakinz_11, watch the language here. that is not appropriate
[12:54] <alabd_> llutz: yeah hve seen it

[12:54] <ashley__> jadakren, i'm just trying to install it so i can use Microsoft Reader in wine
[12:55] <jadakren> ashley__, are the ebooks only able to be read by that software ?
[12:56] <ashley__> jadakren, yes they are .lit files
[12:56] <anakinz_11> bazhang, I thought it was private when I typed : after the name.. :)
[12:56] <jadakren> ashley__, actually i think there is either a convetor or a reader for lit files in linux
[12:56] <ashley__> jadakren, oh ok. i will have a look
[12:58] <jadakren> !info convlit | ashley__
[12:58] <jadakren> ashley__, apparently open-office can open them too (means you can then save as a pdf )
[12:59] <ashley__> jadakren, ah ok, thankyou. i will have a look at using open office if winetricks doesn't help install IE
[12:59] <_raven_> has anyone experience in building linux-performance-clusters?
[12:59] <jadakren> ashley__, i imagine there is something unique about the ebooks ( not just text ) maybe images too ?
[13:00] <ashley__> jadakren, yes it has cover images
[13:01] <jadakren> ashley__, i recommend the convlit package then (i think it extracts those images ) , you also have this thread as a reference : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=49232

[13:04] <obaid> my ubuntu 9.10 doesnt sleep when i close lid of laptop (setting properly set to sleep when lid is closed)
[13:04] <jadakren> obaid, have you looked on the ubuntuforums ( i remember reading several threads about this )
[13:04] <obaid> ok
[13:04] <obaid> i will go there
[13:06] <jadakren> obaid, also : make sure your swap partition is at least 1.5 - 2 times larger than the amount of  physical ram you have
[13:07] <obaid> physical ram 3 GB and swap is 4 GB
[13:07] <obaid> but it was sleeping good untill in install kvm
[13:08] <jadakren> obaid, ok try this : sudo /etc/init.d/kvm stop
[13:08] <jadakren> obaid, then try sleeping
[13:08] <kampret> sjs

[13:11] <pkkm> how to redirect sound from Firefox to VLC Media Player?
[13:12] <obaid> airstrike, it was sleeping well even when loads of application are running

[13:12] <obaid> if i press FN+F4 it sleeps
[13:12] <obaid> but closing lid wont make it sleep
[13:13] <airtonix> obaid, ok
[13:13] <obaid> now it slept ???
[13:13] <obaid> strange
[13:13] <obaid> i closed the lid and it slept
[13:14] <airtonix> obaid, just to eliminate kvm from the problem try restarting kvm and see if it sleeps
[13:14] <airtonix> obaid, sudo /etc/init.d/kvm restart

[13:18] <lamas> Just a question: Why is Ubuntu's slogan "Usable for everyone" "You don't have to be a linux pro" ""It just works"" and then you get to the graphics driver installation...
[13:18] <deviad> When it plays a system sound this weird background noise disappears, after some seconds it starts again
[13:18] <deviad> I dunno what it is...
[13:18] <brapjohn> Hey if anyone can tell me why the test sound works but no other sound will play, I would be most grateful :D.
[13:19] <deviad> it's like a whistle...
[13:20] <deviad> any idea?
[13:20] <_raven_> who knows how to build a performance-cluster?
[13:21] <arquebus> brapjohn- did you click the sound icon on your toolbar to see if the volume slider is turned up?
[13:22] <brapjohn> arquebus- Yes I did :S and everything is turned up and unmuted

[13:30] <trijntje> Hi all, when installing ubuntu-restricted-extra dpkg cannot resolve dl.sourceforge.net, what could cause this?

[13:42] <m4rk> Yanick_, I have 9.10 - it said on this page that I don't need Pulse <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype#Troubleshooting%20Skype>
[13:42] <MorphyNOR> Yanick_: okay
[13:42] <bazhang> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/464422 trijntje this is the bug in question
[13:42] <MorphyNOR> Hajex: I dont like it for music
[13:42] <jiraaya> Hajex: rythembox . syncs with pods too
[13:42] <Yanick_> m4rk, did you upgrade from an earlier version?
[13:43] <bazhang> trijntje, I had the same issue during a fresh install of karmic and eventually the servers did not time out, the fix in the bug page is to remove the dns timeout
[13:43] <precrack> Hey guys I have a usb wireless installed with proper drivers but can't find the interface
[13:43] <trijntje> bazhang: thanks for the link, ill try the fix
[13:44] <Hajex> jiraaya : ya .. but I dont like  rythembox , may be coz I don't understand it yet :P
[13:44] <m4rk> Yanick_, an earlier version of what? My 9.10 was upgrade from a fresh install of 9.04. Skype is a fresh install

[13:45] <deviad> I have installed propertary drivers for the wifi card and graphic card
[13:45] <dnivra> I've been trying to restore my login screen to the default in karmic after changing it using the command "gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties" and I get the following error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/349851/. Guess it's because of the I/O error, I'm not able to change my login screen. Which file or directory is causing the problem?
[13:46] <Yanick_> m4rk, I've had this issue with 9.04, and used PULSE then to resolve this issue. Now, I have 9.10 installed from scratch, don't need PULSE and everything works fine. I'm just saying that maybe you need it because your system did have 9.04 before.... I don't know
[13:46] <deviad> If I open synaptics packet manager although I can run the updates... I'm worried to screw the propertary drivers though
[13:46] <deviad> or that they are not available for the newer kernel... any help?
[13:47] <dnivra> I hope somebody can help me out since I've like come 4 times in the past 6 hours at varying intervals hoping that some who wasn't there then is there now.
[13:47] <Yanick_> deviad, which proprietary driver(s)?
[13:47] <deviad> Yanick, nvidia and broadcom
[13:47] <Villager3> ?
[13:48] <Yanick_> deviad, did you install them using the Hardware driver panel or using custom install scripts?
[13:48] <m4rk> Yanick_, hmmm...OK. I had pulse before and everything was fine, except I couldn't seem to get skype to play sound properly (it was very crackly, or wouldn't play at all)
[13:48] <deviad> Yanick_, the proposed upgrade is from 2.6.31-14 to 2.6.31-16
[13:48] <deviad> I used hardware driver panel
[13:48] <jbee> hi. is there a possibility to start a guest session from a shell in a x-session without the applet?
[13:48] <deviad> didn't want to screw up anything so I chosed that method
[13:48] <Yanick_> deviad, then no worries
[13:48] <deviad> ok
[13:49] <deviad> oh, I installed also cryptsetup to encrypt my pendrive
[13:49] <Yanick_> deviad, not familiar with it
[13:49] <Hajex> my cam is not working in 9.10 .. I was using easycam for 8.04 but is there any alternative for 9.10?
[13:49] <deviad> it uses something embed in the new kernels that allows encryption of pendrives
[13:49] <Yanick_> deviad, but unless it is dependant on the kernel, you should not have any problem
[13:49] <m4rk> Yanick_, thanks for the help. I might try installing pulse again. I have a big project to finish, and I don't really want to have to faff around with a fresh install of 9.10 before then
[13:49] <deviad> OK, let's give this a shoot
[13:50] <viilips> hi guys, can anyone help me with videocard drivers for my ubuntu 9.10?
[13:50] <Yanick_> deviad, you can still reboot with the old kernel if it doesn't work with GRUB
[13:50] <Hajex> viilips : ATI ?
[13:50] <Yanick_> m4rk, no problem
[13:51] <viilips> no, Intel. im very new to linux, so i'm getting troubles with upadting drivers

[13:51] <viilips> i have intel mobile GMA 4500MHD videocard
[13:52] <mhall119> viilips, what's wrong with your Intel drivers?
[13:52] <dnivra> also just thought I'd add; just now I uninstalled the gnome-theme-extra package. and the theme's gone from the theme selection window but it's still my login screen's theme. How is that possible when I've uninstalled everything including the configuration files?
[13:52] <Hajex> viilips : sorry I can'r help
[13:52] <Yanick_> viilips, you need to go to System > Administration > Software sources and enable restricted packages
[13:52] <viilips> mhall119, reason i want to update drivers is - flash games works very slow on ubuntu I just installed
[13:53] <dnivra> gnome-themes-more package* not gnome-theme-extra package. sorry.
[13:53] <viilips> *that I just installed (sorry my english)

[13:53] <pa> i have a question also : ) can i use a 2.6.32 kernel on ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron?
[13:53] <pa> or is there possibility that something wont work cause the kernel is too new?
[13:54] <brig> what is that command that will allow you to download a whole website via the command line again?
[13:54] <viilips> mhall119, I have installed some programs, XChat for example, so I guess when i wrote the password, i got rooted?
[13:54] <dnivra> brig: are you referring to wget?
[13:54]  * iolo indo dá-lhe o primeiro cago do ano....
[13:54] <mhall119> pa, yes and yes
[13:54] <Yanick_> brig, wget
[13:55] <pa> mhall119, you mean i can use it, but i will screw up something?
[13:55] <mhall119> viilips, what?  no, you should be safe
[13:55] <mhall119> pa, it's possible
[13:55] <viilips> Yanick_, I just opened "software sources", where do i can enable restricted packages?
[13:55] <mhall119> I wouldn't recommend installing a kernel not from the supported repositories
[13:56] <mhall119> viilips, enable Universe and Multiverse
[13:56] <viilips> mhall119, sorry, im not following you :o
[13:56] <mhall119> viilips, I asked if you had rebooted, not been rooted
[13:56] <mhall119> did you restart your computer
[13:56] <Yanick_> viilips, on the first tab, check the "proprietary drivers for devices" and "Software restricted by copyright..."
[13:57] <brig> thanks!
[13:57] <viilips> mhall119, these fields is already checked ..
[13:57] <Yanick_> viilips, then, in a terminal, type : "sudo apt-get update" (without quotes)
[13:58] <lumis> lol, idiot
[13:58] <Yanick_> viilips, then open the Hardware Drivers administrator panel and see if there's a driver in there you can use
[13:58] <lumis> oops

[14:00] <viilips> Yanick_, i cant input my sudo password

[14:00] <Yanick_> viilips, you won't see anything, but type it in anyway, then press enter
[14:00] <viilips> and when im pressing the enter key, sudo says incorrect password
[14:01] <viilips> Yanick_, ok it worked

[14:02] <morpheus> how to generate initrd 2.6.32.2 on 9.10?
[14:02] <viilips> theres no drivers i could choose to install
[14:02] <Yanick_> viilips, then you may not have a driver for your card (no hardware acceleration)
[14:02] <mhall119> erkan, what help do you need?
[14:03] <viilips> Yanick_ can i search for the driver somewhere else?
[14:03] <mhall119> dnivra, what version of Ubuntu?
[14:03] <morpheus> how to generate initrd 2.6.32.2 on 9.10?
[14:04] <dnivra> mhall119, sorry forgot to mention that. I'm using karmic.
[14:04] <mhall119> morpheus, mkinitramfs?
[14:04] <morpheus> yes, thanks
[14:04] <mhall119> dnivra, Karmic has a new GDM, which handles themes differently
[14:04] <ChogyDan> dnivra: maybe try the gnome art manager?
[14:05] <ChogyDan> nvm
[14:05] <mhall119> viilips, Intel drivers are usually open sourced and available in the Linux kernel itself
[14:05] <erkan> My computer is Compaq Presario CQ61-110ED notebook pc and my VideoCard is  Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD. I have Ubuntu 9.10 in my laptop now. But a display for my laptop is black and I have connected a HDMI on the televison. Television work very good. But I want that my display for my laptop work. Where can I download a driver for Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD? I can not still found :(
[14:05] <viilips> mhall119, that means theres no way i can update them?
[14:06] <dnivra> mhall119, you mean that the gnome login screen themes used in jaunty don't work in karmic right? yeah i learnt that. but this is a gtk2 theme I'm referring to. sorry for not mentioning that.
[14:06] <Yanick_> viilips, do you have the intel packages installed ? dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video-intel
[14:06] <mhall119> viilips, you can update it, but you probably have the latest available already
[14:07] <viilips> Yanick_, do i have to write command you gave me in the terminal?
[14:07] <ChogyDan> dnivra: I tried the command and I get the io errors, but it looks like I can still edit the gdm theme
[14:07] <Yanick_> yes
[14:07] <viilips> mhall119, could there be other reason why my ubuntu cant handle with flash games?
[14:07] <dnivra> ChogyDan, precisely I got the same errors too. here's what I got. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/349851/. same I suppose?
[14:08] <mhall119> viilips, reading google, it looks like maybe the intel drivers for that particular card are not so great
[14:08] <erkan> Can someone help me?
[14:08] <dnivra> ChogyDan, yeah how do I do that. I'd like the old login screen (or at least a better looking one than current).
[14:08] <ChogyDan> dnivra: I get the last two errors, and then the window opens.  Your window doesnt open?
[14:08] <mhall119> viilips, try this forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1011784
[14:08] <Yanick_> viilips, you have a Toshiba?
[14:08] <trijntje> !ask|erkan
[14:09] <viilips> Yanick_, yes
[14:09] <erkan> sorry ok ubottu
[14:09] <viilips> yanick_, after typing command you gave me, terminal responed: ii  xserver-xorg-video-intel             2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2                           X.Org X server -- Intel i8xx, i9xx display d
[14:10] <dnivra> ChogyDan, the gdm window does open alright. thing is I select the correct theme after it opens using "gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties" and restart gdm. But well, it's still the old gtk2 theme!
[14:10] <dnivra> ChogyDan, best part - the gtk2 theme used by gdm is no longer there in my system - i uninstalled it!
[14:11] <erkan> brb
[14:12] <axz> could someone please explain me this PulseAduio error? http://pastebin.com/m4c60c3db
[14:12] <dnivra> ChogyDan, By gdm window I meant the theme select window(Appearance properties).
[14:12] <erkan> biw
[14:12] <Yanick_> viilips, not sure how I can help any further
[14:13] <viilips> it means command you gave me doesnt work?
[14:13] <viilips> *yanick_
[14:13] <dnivra> ChogyDan, am again wrong - appearance preferences. sorry. but you should've figured it out by now.
[14:13] <ChogyDan> dnivra: yeah, I don't really know.  It might be easier to just back up and reinstall
[14:13] <mhall119> viilips, read the link I posted
[14:13] <mhall119> changing from EXA to XAA might help you
[14:14] <Yanick_> viilips, no, it means that you have the necessary packages installed, and everything should be detected, but mhall119 may be unto something
[14:14] <dnivra> ChogyDan, sure? this is like the third time I'm doing this! Are you sure there's no other way?
[14:14] <SickAnimations> wut
[14:14] <ChogyDan> dnivra: what?  Im not sure at all.  But why spend so much time just trying to get back to the defaults?
[14:14] <om26er> !y | SickAnimations
[14:15] <mhall119> or UXA, I switch my Intel card to use UXA and it was a huge performance boost
[14:15] <viilips> yanick_ ok, thank you this far. I'll try ti understand something from link mhall119 gave me
[14:15] <dnivra> ChogyDan, anyway I can find which is the file/dir causing the I/O errors? Logs or something somewhere exist?
[14:15] <om26er> mhall119, did you try lucid?
[14:15] <om26er> *karmic?
[14:16] <erkan> ubottu: have you a busy?
[14:16] <viilips> mhall119, how can i switch my intel card to use UXA?
[14:16] <ChogyDan> dnivra: you may have better luck searching those errors on launchpad
[14:16] <dnivra> ChogyDan, do you know the particular application at least that handles the login screen? maybe installing that will solve the problem?
[14:16]  * om26er karmic provides far better intel graphics support
[14:16] <ChogyDan> dnivra: from what I could see, there is no application anymore.  That's why you run that command
[14:17] <mhall119> viilips, you'll have to edit your xorg.conf, google around for it
[14:17] <dnivra> ChogyDan,  i meant like gdm is part of some package(sorry for the win terminology) right? perhaps I'll try reinstalling that package?
[14:17] <erkan> om26er: ?
[14:18] <dabbill> Any one know how to tunnel yahoo web cam? i can get yahoo IM to work with ssh tunneling but cant get the webcam part to work
[14:18] <om26er> erkan, yes?
[14:18] <ChogyDan> dnivra: yeah, it is gdm
[14:18] <erkan> do you know how must I lost a problem -->
[14:18] <erkan> My computer is Compaq Presario CQ61-110ED notebook pc and my VideoCard is  Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD. I have Ubuntu 9.10 in my laptop now. But a display for my laptop is black and I have connected a HDMI on the televison. Television work very good. But I want that my display for my laptop work. Where can I download a driver for Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD? I can not still found :(
[14:19] <dnivra> ChogyDan, thanks. but will the config files get removed and re-created if I reinstall gdm?
[14:19] <ChogyDan> dnivra: possibly: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm                 you may want dpkg --reconfigure gdm or something like that
[14:19] <Guest734> Question: Anyone think they could help me try to get an old ES1869 ISA PNP sound card working under 8.10?
[14:19] <erkan> om26er: ?
[14:20] <dnivra> ChogyDan, thanks. will check it out.
[14:20] <erkan> do you know that?
[14:20] <om26er> erkan, what?
[14:20] <erkan> can you help me?
[14:20] <om26er> erkan, no
[14:20] <Guest734> The card seems to be working. I can load the module for it and see it using "lspnp", but it's not recognized by the sound subsystem.
[14:20] <mhall119> erkan, if nobody is answering, that means nobody knows the answer, sorry
[14:20] <viilips> mhall119, i'm having trouble with understanding anything in link you gave me also googling for UXA and xorg.conf didnt make anything clear for me .. i thought ubuntu is user friendly operating system :(
[14:21] <mhall119> viilips, it usually is
[14:21] <Guest734> erkan - What was your question?
[14:21] <Yanick_> :P   x11perf --aa10text   --->   20000000 trep @   0.0013 msec (761000.0/sec): Char in 80-char aa line (Charter 10)
[14:21] <mhall119> viilips, but you're going off the "usual" path here
[14:21] <natureshadow> g'morrow
[14:21] <dnivra> ChogyDan, I've got a gdm-themes package installed. is it enough if I reinstall that? Any ideas on this?
[14:21] <viilips> how is that? usually users doesnt have to update drivers themselves?
[14:21] <viilips> *mhall119
[14:21] <mhall119> no, they usually don't
[14:22] <mhall119> drivers get updated by the system
[14:22] <Yanick_> viilips, do you have MESA installed?
[14:22] <bonhoffer> i am trying to hook up my NAS -- how can I find it's ip?
[14:22] <mhall119> you're trying to tweak your driver for additional pereformance
[14:22] <viilips> the only reason i want it do be done is i cant play flash games on my ubuntu :(
[14:22] <bonhoffer> maybe using nmap?
[14:22] <erkan> mhall119:  :(
[14:22] <ChogyDan> dnivra: I suspect not.  I don't have that myself
[14:22] <Guest734> bonhoffer - try "ifconfig"
[14:22] <viilips> Yanick_, no, could it help in my situation?
[14:22] <Yanick_> viilips, maybe....
[14:22] <wookienz> when a nix terminal sessions sends a line feed, is it a reutnr, linefeed, carriage return?
[14:23] <viilips> ill try to get MESA at ubuntu software center, thank you
[14:23] <mhall119> wookienz, it's a newline, \n
[14:23] <Yanick_> viilips, use Synaptic
[14:23] <wookienz> mhall119: thnaks
[14:23] <viilips> yanick_, where can i find synaptic?
[14:23] <erkan> Guest734:
[14:23] <mhall119> System->Administration->Synaptic
[14:23] <Guest734> erkan - Yes?
[14:23] <erkan> My computer is Compaq Presario CQ61-110ED notebook pc and my VideoCard is  Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD. I have Ubuntu 9.10 in my laptop now. But a display for my laptop is black and I have connected a HDMI on the televison. Television work very good. But I want that my display for my laptop work. Where can I download a driver for Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD? I can not still found :(
[14:24] <Yanick_> System > Administration > Synaptic Package manager
[14:24] <Yanick_> mhall119, heh
[14:24] <mhall119> erkan, has it ever used the laptop's display?
[14:24] <Yanick_> viilips, select libgl1-mesa-glx
[14:25] <Guest734> erkan - The Intel GMA support is pretty good under 9.10. Not sure why it wouldn't be working.
[14:25] <erkan> Do you understand my question, Guest734 ?
[14:25] <mhall119> viilips, you can also try disabling desktop effects, that sometimes makes Flash run faster
[14:25] <Guest734> erkan - You should have the appropriate driver already if you're using 9.10 -- it's not like Windows where you would need a separate driver download.
[14:25] <mhall119> Guest734, it seems the 4500HD doesn't run so great
[14:25] <Guest734> mhall119 - Oh. Didn't know that.
[14:26] <Guest734> erkan -- Anyhow, if you're getting an image on your HDVI output, I'm guessing the card driver is OK. Something may be wrong with your config.
[14:26] <viilips> yanick_, it seems the libgl1-mesa-glx is already installed
[14:27] <Yanick_> viilips, weird
[14:27] <viilips> yanick, the field is green where i can check them
[14:27] <Guest734> erkan - If you reboot with the HDVI not connected, you just get a balck screen?
[14:27] <Guest734> erkan - balck -> black
[14:27] <viilips> yanick_, i can only mark it for reinstallation
[14:28] <Yanick_> viilips, are you confortable with the shell?
[14:28] <viilips> yanick_, the shell?
[14:28] <Yanick_> viilips, terminal
[14:29] <viilips> yanick_, kinda
[14:29] <natureshadow> im trying to encode a dvd in some free format - I thought of OGM with Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora. I'm trying to do this with DVD::Rip, but it somehow only encodes the audio and drops the video
[14:30] <madcat1990> I LOVE UBUNTU!  Just wanted to state that
[14:30] <Witchy> xristo?
[14:30] <Yanick_> viilips, press CTRL+ALT+F1 that will bring you into a console, log in with your user, then type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" (this will kill the graphic interface, and X-Chat....), then type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" follow instructions, then "sudo reboot" to restart your system
[14:30] <erkan> Question: Where can I download for Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD for Ubuntu 9.10 version, 32-bits?
[14:31] <mhall119> erkan, you should already have it

[14:52] <sacarlson> has anyone  upgraded Virtualbox before?  is it plug and play or should I uninstall the old before I do this?
[14:52] <suigeneris> sacarlson just do an apt-get install
[14:53] <suigeneris> it's plug and play
[14:53] <SickAnimations> sacarlson: Sorry to derail, but are you running Virtualbox on a powerful computer?
[14:53] <Xfact> I want to install a .bin file...dragging it in terminal will install it?
[14:53] <wertwert1984> so how do i find out what the numbers from fuser mean or what proses they are?
[14:54] <klown> Xfact, were you able to fix your nvidia issue from yesterday?
[14:54] <sacarlson> ﻿suigeneris:  well it's not in the repo but I have the deb file
[14:54] <Xfact> klown: I am happy with my Ubuntu choosen nvidia driver...thanks for asking :)

[14:55] <suigeneris> sacarlson www.virtualbox.org has the repo addresses

[14:55] <kit_> Novice question - how can I get my toolbars to stay on top without having to F11?
[14:55] <SickAnimations> sacarlson: There are debian reppos available if you want: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[14:55] <altf2o> I've been browsing around but have yet to find an answer. anyone know of plans to have full disk encryption in ubuntu netbook remix?
[14:55] <sacarlson> ﻿suigeneris: I already have the file for the deb.  I'm just woried if I should delete the original before the install
[14:56] <Xfact> I want to install google earth (googleearthlinux.bin) dragged it down to terminal but it saying permission denied...even as root it denying....:(
[14:56] <SickAnimations> sacarlson: Oh Ok. I've got a celeron M on a file server and I was thinking about trying virtualbox but I doubt it will run a virtualised system
[14:56] <Yanick_> viilips, did it work?
[14:56] <Xfact> what will happen with my education :(
[14:57] <suigeneris> sacarlson deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian karmic non-free is the line to be put into sources.list and I've never updated it with .deb so I don't know
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  Time to learn some command line kung-fu i guess. :)
[14:57] <sacarlson> ﻿SickAnimations: depends on what you want to virtualize.  you don't need much if you want to like vertualize DSL linux or small things

[14:59] <sacarlson> ﻿ suigeneris:  ok what don't kill me will only make me stronger so here it goes
[14:59] <suigeneris> sacarlson just put the line I gave you in sources.list and do a apt-get install
[14:59] <ecart> Dr_Willis to a date before the installation of some programs. As in windows for example.

[15:00] <Dr_Willis> ecart:  Ive never had that feature actually work in windows. theres no 'general' way to get  the whole linux system back to a state it was 4 days befor.. (for example)
[15:00] <titanicheart> please help me friends. i have installed ubuntu 9.10 earlier with Windows XP..I used to get GRUB BOOT LOADER where I could select my desired Operating System. I have upgraded now to Windows Vista but the Boot Selection Menu is not there. What can be the possible Solution. Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows XP was installed on 250 Gb hard disk on dell studio 1535 laptop separately partioned as 125 + 125 gb for each. Windows Vista shows total hard disk space
[15:00] <titanicheart> available as 125 GB. Please Help. I love ubuntu.
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> ecart:  what exactly is broken?
[15:00] <sacarlson> ﻿suigeneris: oh and this is hardy Ubuntu 8.04
[15:00] <Xfact> bazhand: I know it's giving 'googleearthlinux.bin' file and I already downloaded it, but terminal not giving me permission to install it :(
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  there are some repos that have google earth in them.
[15:01] <Yanick_> titanicheart, Windows overwrites the GRUB loader (embrace an expand :P) so you have to re-install grub from a live CD
[15:01] <mikobuntu> Xfact,  did you get to permissions
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  there was no need to download the .bin by hand.
[15:01] <Yanick_> titanicheart, Google that for more details
[15:01] <titanicheart> Yanick...can I get my previous UBUNTU 9.10 Back?
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  You can 'sh ./googleearth.bin' and run it - perhaps..
[15:02] <Xfact> mikobuntu: sorry...i didn't understand your command totally I am in very beginner level in linux world :(
[15:02] <Yanick_> titanicheart, unless you deleted the Ubuntu filesystem, yes
[15:02] <[]WACE[]> Hi all, Happy New Year! Can anyone help me with Grub2?
[15:02] <titanicheart> I did not deleted ubuntu filesystem
[15:02] <Craig`> is a tgz file the same as a tar.gz?
[15:02] <titanicheart> i need to run ubuntu 9.10 + vista side by side
[15:02] <Yanick_> titanicheart, then you only need to re-install GRUB, not Ubuntu
[15:02] <ecart> Dr_Willis apparently nothing
[15:02] <titanicheart> Yanick_, how to re-install Grub? I have the CD...Will I be able to boot Vista After that?
[15:03] <Yanick_> titanicheart, as a side note, ALWAYS install Windows first, then Linux
[15:03] <mikobuntu> xfact; select the .bin file, then do right click with mouse
[15:03] <Xfact> but last time it it accepting bin file in same way
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  the medibuntu repositories - contain googleearth as a package you can install.
[15:03] <titanicheart> Yanick_, I ll remember that, but what Can Be done Now
[15:03] <Xfact> mikobuntu:then....
[15:03] <Yanick_> titanicheart, Google "restore GRUB after installing Windows"
[15:03] <bazhang> Xfact, check out medibuntu.org for the .deb
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> !grub | titanicheart
[15:03] <ecart> just a minute
[15:04] <Yanick_> Dr_Willis, heh I'll remember that line :)
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> Its odd the google repos.. dont have google earth.. but medibuntu repos do.
[15:04] <Xfact> I love .deb packages, very easy and automatic!
[15:04] <titanicheart> ubottu is so intelligent
[15:04] <viilips> Yanick_, sorry for delay'ed answer, it didnt, when i wrote the first command, ubuntu replyed that i have to write a different command .. i didnt rewrite what the os replyd .. should i do it again and rewrite answer this time?
[15:04] <mikobuntu> xfact ; a menu will open and goto properties >permissions and click in the box "allow to run as program" or something to that effect
[15:05] <Yanick_> viilips, oh, yeah, they changed that :) it's "sudo stop gdm" I think
[15:05] <potato> hi all
[15:05] <Yanick_> viilips, "gdm" being Gnome Display Manager
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> !medibuntu | Xfact
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> Yanick_:  'sudo service gdm stop'
[15:05] <Yanick_> Dr_Willis, heh
[15:05] <Yanick_> Dr_Willis, I always do "sudo /etc/init.d/gmd stop" and it never complained :)
[15:06] <viilips> yanick_, should i try it again with "sudo stop gdm" ? the rest stays the same?
[15:06] <Xfact> finally permission granted!
[15:06] <Xfact> Thanks guys
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> Yanick_:  it will start complaing soon. dont use init.d any more use the service command.
[15:06] <dath> how do i restart empathy (i installed a protocol plugin)
[15:06] <Yanick_> viilips, "sudo service gdm stop"
[15:06] <Xfact> very kind of you :D
[15:07] <mikobuntu> xfact; np
[15:07] <Yanick_> Dr_Willis, I'll remember that
[15:07] <Xfact> mikobuntu: your process was right
[15:07] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  you may as well enable medibuntu soon.  theres stuff there you proberly want :)
[15:07] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu : Will post it on paste.ubuntu.com, hang on
[15:07] <mikobuntu> Dr_Willis,  i agree
[15:07] <Craig`> how do you guys get to know your way around the command line? remember commands etc? just constantly typing them, or do you advise a reference?
[15:07] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  there was a dozen ways to 'run' that  .bin :)  You just had to follow one of them. :)
[15:07] <nmvictor_> how do i regain my nick if another user is using it?
[15:07] <viilips> yanick, once i pressed crtl+alt+f1, i cant go back in regular mode?
[15:07] <[]WACE[]> Ran updates on Ubuntu 9.10 - then got the Grub2 prompt. Windows performed a scandisk. Tried some commands I found, but I didn't get the location correct as I installed Ubuntu as an App inside Windows XP.
[15:08] <donvito-> how to upgrade distro
[15:08] <Xfact> Dr_Willies: yes...you also right...thanks
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> Craig`:  you eventually learn them of course.. and yes there are guides/docs/tutorials aoo over the internetl
[15:08] <dath> how do i restart empathy? (installed a protocol plugin)
[15:08] <donvito-> how to upgrade distro
[15:08] <Craig`> it's just I'm a command noob (I know a few), but everyone else seems to know loads :3
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> viilips:  alt-ctrl-f7 to get back to the X desktop (or gry F8 F9 F10 and so on)
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> Craig`:  like anything else.. You learn and rember what you actuially use
[15:08] <mhall119> dath, just quit and re-open it
[15:08] <i00nsu> hellp guys
[15:09] <donvito-> how to upgrade distro
[15:09] <donvito-> how to upgrade distro
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> !upgrade | donvito-
[15:09] <viilips> ok, thank you dr_willis
[15:10] <i00nsu> I was trying to install bastille using apt-get and at the end give me and error in line 9566 from psad package. now I can't apt-get anything. How do I remove this problem?
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> bastille - theres somthing ive not heard about in a LONG LONG time.
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> !info bastille
[15:10] <mikobuntu> Dr_Willis,  you are probably the person to ask, i have forgotten my irc password, although obviously im using it now..i just want it to try a few other irc clients...is there anyway of finding it on my box?
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> mikobuntu:  you mean your nickserv password?  I think you can ask in #freenode and they will email it to your email add. you regiesterd with
[15:11] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu : http://paste.ubuntu.com/349967/ here
[15:11] <Xfact> can anybody tell me...where is the 'terminal' located?
[15:11] <mikobuntu> Dr_Willis,  thanks
[15:11] <madcat1990> @xfact Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  theres icons in the menus to launch gnome-terminal, or type alt-f2 'gnome-terminal'
[15:11] <russ5811> happy new year all!
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  i alwasy drag the terminal icon to the panel :)
[15:11] <Xfact> No No No...
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  ask a clearer question then I guess.
[15:12] <russ5811> can anyone help me share files/folders between a win 7 machine and my 3 other ubuntu 9.10 machines?
[15:12] <i00nsu> Dr_Willis: I got E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[15:12] <i00nsu> how to solve this?
[15:13] <Xfact> not that....actually I want to add terminal program in the 'open with' section of '.bin' files...so its asking for castome commands of terminal application...where is it?
[15:13] <i00nsu> is something about psad package
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> i00nsu:  no idea on that - You really SURE you want to be using that 'bastille' thing? it locks things down so tight its scary.
[15:13] <Xfact> Xafact: I think I should use paste bin now...
[15:13] <jarray52> My Ubuntu 9.10(upgraded from 9.04) install hard freezes every time I insert a USB drive. Recently, I upgraded my bios and cleared the CMOS. Prior to the bios update, the USB flash drive worked. Any suggestions? Could this be caused by an IRQ conflict?
[15:14] <i00nsu> Dr_Willis: what tool is bastille like?
[15:14] <sacarlson> ﻿suigeneris:  ends up it forced me to uninstall my original vbox before it could install.  it instructed me to manualy erase the /etc/vbox files also
[15:14] <Kamokow> How can I watch DVD's on ubuntu?
[15:14] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  as i can see from your default input pulsesrc is disabled, try the 3 other options and test each 1 until you get mic input
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> i00nsu:  bastille tweaks/changes DOZENS of system settings last i played with it - to very very very lock down your system.
[15:14] <usr13> !samba > russ5811
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> i00nsu:  if you dont know exactly what bastille does.. then you proberly dont want to be messing with it.
[15:15] <madcat1990> @Mikobuntu : But I *CAN* record, problem is crackly sound
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> i00nsu:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BastilleLinux
[15:15] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  1 of the unknown options may give more direct input tho
[15:15] <i00nsu> Dr_Willis: I know what bastille is.. the point right now, is about everty package I try to install, show me that error. I want to solve that just that :)
[15:15] <sacarlson> ﻿suigeneris:  looks like the install after delete went ok but I don't see the aplication in the drop down menu anymore
[15:16] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu : Will try it then, brb with results
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> i00nsu:  No idea on that.   theres the apt-get -f (or was it -F) option that might fix things up.
[15:16] <jarray52> Kamokow: try typing this at the command prompt. sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[15:16] <i00nsu> nop
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> i00nsu:  theres also some various apt-get guides to help trouble shoot common breakage issues
[15:16] <viilips> Yanick_ are you here?
[15:17] <jarray52> Kamokow: There is probably a better way to do it though.
[15:17] <Yanick_> viilips, yeah
[15:17] <jarray52> Kamokow: Someone else may have a better suggestion.
[15:17] <Yanick_> viilips, did you manage to stop gdm and reconfigure your xserver?
[15:17] <i00nsu> ok, i thought was something easy.. ok i will read about thanks
[15:17] <Kamokow> jarray52: Ok, thanks, Ill try that :), i just dont really want to go through the trouble of finding my old dvd player
[15:17] <viilips> the gdm stop comand seemed right one. but i got no answer for second comand
[15:17] <usr13> !dvd > Kamokow
[15:18] <Yanick_> viilips, strange
[15:18] <Kamokow> thanks usr13
[15:18] <viilips> i wrote it as you told me "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[15:18] <madcat1990> @Mikobuntu : Only the middle one works, but the sound is still crackly, if it helps it says : "pulsesrc device="alsa_input.pci-000"
[15:18] <viilips> *yanick_
[15:18] <usr13> Kamokow: mplayer //dvd
[15:19] <Kamokow> Ok, thanks
[15:19] <sacarlson> ﻿suigeneris: what do you run to bring up Virtualbox?  without the menu drop down present?
[15:19] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  you may have to edit a pulseaudio file..hold on to i look it up
[15:19] <Yanick_> viilips, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/xorg
[15:19] <usr13> Kamokow: mplayer ://dvd
[15:20] <i00nsu> ;9
[15:21] <plitter> when i make a change in alsamixer and restart the settings that i changed are back to the start again.... someone know how to make my settings stick?
[15:21] <dath> how do i start a phone call in empathy with sip?
[15:21] <Xfact> here is my question..where is terminal lives? http://paste.ubuntu.com/349971/ plz check
[15:22] <Kamokow> Ok, i think I got the DVD's working. Thanks for the help everyone.
[15:22] <mhall119> dath, I think ekiga is for sip
[15:22] <hikenboot> hello i have managed to get an encrypted swap and encrypted tmp folder by using the installer however i have checked lsmod and see no kernel modules for encryption. Can anyone explain this I would like to take inventory of what was done with the installer so i can do this manually ( which i was unsuccessful with )
[15:22] <bazhang> Xfact, you dont want to reference terminal to open .bin files with.
[15:23] <_raven_> !evolution
[15:23] <_raven_> !raven evolution
[15:23] <mhall119> hikenboot, using ecryptfs?
[15:23] <bazhang> _raven_, please /msg ubottu
[15:23] <_raven_> is there a channel for evolution?
[15:23] <_raven_> ok tnx
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  a .bin is just a generic extension. basically meaning 'you need to run this installer'  Its best to run them by hand from the terminal. You never know if one is goign to have a CLI only installer interface, or a gui, or whate exactluy it will do.
[15:23] <viilips> Yanick_, thank you for your time, i'll try ti see can i gan any help at the site you gave me
[15:23] <aeon-ltd> Xfact: just add '/usr/bin/gnome-terminal' -e as a open with program
[15:24] <bazhang> _raven_, /msg alis list *evolution*
[15:24] <hikenboot> mhall119, whatever the installer is using apparently its not the same as I was using I use random key for swap and a key for temp
[15:24] <Yanick_> viilips, no problem. Good luck!
[15:24] <_raven_> bazhang, ok tnx
[15:24] <plitter> dath: just start new conversation choose the sip provider and call
[15:24] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  and in fact there are .bin files that are NOT executable/installers. Its a very generic extension that means very little.
[15:24] <_raven_> no chan....
[15:24] <mhall119> .bin usually just means it's a binary file
[15:24] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  pastebin  gedit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
[15:25] <Xfact> that means I don't need to do it...right...?
[15:25] <Xfact> okey
[15:25] <aeon-ltd> _raven_: whats your problem with evolution?
[15:25]  * Dr_Willis thins people that use .bin fir an extension need tobe slapped..
[15:25] <mhall119> _raven_, the evolution channel is probably on the gnome irc servers, not freenode
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  theres no point in assoicating .bin with anything
[15:25] <jarray52> My Ubuntu 9.10(upgraded from 9.04) install hard freezes every time I insert a USB drive. Recently, I upgraded my bios and cleared the CMOS. Prior to the bios update, the USB flash drive worked. Any suggestions? Could this be caused by an IRQ conflict?
[15:25] <Xfact> ok i mean it...thanks
[15:25] <elad`> I keep being offered "STARTKEYLOGGER" by DCC. How do I automatically ignore this? I'm using xchat-gnome, or gnome-xchat.
[15:25] <hikenboot> mhall119, I am not using a random key for tmp because I found that certain parts of gnome are not properly regenerated on boot and it causes gnome errors on boot if the tmp folder is deleted
[15:25] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu : http://paste.ubuntu.com/349974/
[15:26] <_raven_> aeon-ltd, mhall119 Evolution again loads mails which are already downloaded again and again and so on. why - do i really need to delete the config-folders every time?
[15:26] <mhall119> hikenboot, sorry, I'm not well verse in drive or directory encryption
[15:26] <mhall119> _raven_, what protocol?
[15:26] <_raven_> mhall119, pop3
[15:26] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/ Xfact you should have a read of this
[15:26] <mhall119> do you have it leaving messages on the server?
[15:27] <hikenboot> I think i should definately report it as a bug with gnome and tmp since that shouldnt happen
[15:27] <nizzan01> jarray52,  it is the irq servicing of i/o in general that I experience myself has been faulty since 6.10
[15:27] <petur> hi
[15:27] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  ok , i think if you change your default-fragments and default-fragment-size-msec  will helpyou will have to use sudo for this obviously
[15:27] <petur> How can i enable "normal gnome" in Ubuntu Netbook Remix ?
[15:28] <Xfact> thanks for link...but I guess i am not a good reader...lol thanks i'll figure it out :)
[15:28] <_raven_> mhall119, no they should be deletet after downloading and this worked until yet - this error started as evolution again created hundreds of INBOX(hex) folders
[15:28] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu : I already did, followed the tutorial on the forums, and it made no difference
[15:28] <nizzan01> jarray52, i experience those frozen events when dealing with wifi
[15:28] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  oh no
[15:28] <jarray52> nizzan01: Thanks. Do you know how to obtain irq information inside Ubuntu?
[15:28] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu : 8 | 10 makes the sound not work, 6 | 20 makes it still crackle, etc..
[15:29] <mikobuntu> madcat; did you reboot after the changes to the file?
[15:29] <nizzan01> jarray52, no i do not, its so low level, irq servicing
[15:29] <mikobuntu> or log out/in
[15:29] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu : yes I logged in and out
[15:29] <madcat1990> mikobuntu : Because it was the only way of restarting pulse
[15:29] <jarray52> nizzan01: Do you know how to change boot parameters in Ubuntu 9.10?
[15:30] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  i do think this is the solution tho, just getting the right maths here
[15:30] <nizzan01> jarray52, i do not have 9.10 yet, but which parameter do you think you'd like to change in grub?
[15:30] <zamba> i have two identical hard drives.. and i want to set up a software raid-1 device for these two disks.. i've partitioned both disks with partition type raid autodetect.. what do i do now?
[15:30] <zamba> something with mdadm, right?
[15:30] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu : Then what values do you recommend?
[15:30] <plitter> when i make a change in alsamixer and restart the settings that i changed are back to the start again.... someone know how to make my settings stick?
[15:31] <Guest58833> How can i enable "normal gnome" in Ubuntu Netbook Remix ?
[15:31] <mikobuntu> hold on 1 min @ madcat
[15:31] <jarray52> nizzan01: noapic, pci=routeirq, pci=noapic, acpi=off
[15:32] <Xfact> ok in system monitor a process 'x session manager' always runs...is that a critical process and killing that process will do someting wrong?
[15:32] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  it is recommended on the forums 5  and 25
[15:32] <jarray52> Xfact: Yes
[15:32] <Xfact> oops!
[15:32] <mhall119> Xfact, it's your GUI session
[15:32] <nizzan01> jarray52, i believe just like the way you typed it, append it prior to the --    also grub lines used to have maximum chars, so am not sure if the new can handle long grub options
[15:32] <Xfact> ooh...then not that harmful
[15:32] <akos_> Hello! I have just installed 9.10, but I have been having this issue beforehand. When my computer boots (it's set to automatically log in, i don't want no password to be asked for), it asks for my account password to access the default keyring which is needed to connect to my wifi network... Can't access to the default keyring be granted by default to the network manager?
[15:33] <jarray52> nizzan01: I can't figure out where to type it.
[15:33] <ChogyDan> akos_: put in a blank password
[15:33] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu : and what if this doesn't solve the problem? Is there a way to change the sound samples? It may be the problem <<... It sounds as if it is being recorded at a different sample rate as the output one
[15:33] <mhall119> akos_, you should be able to have it remember the password, so you only need to enter it the first time
[15:33] <Peteris> Hi, how can I remove xubuntu (xfce) from my ubuntu installation?
[15:34] <jarray52> nizzan01: There is no /boot/grub/menu.lst in Ubuntu 9.10
[15:34] <mhall119> sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop
[15:34] <nizzan01> jarray52, on the kernel  line, make sure those appears before --
[15:34] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  yeah ,actually that may be part of the prob...hold on to i rem how to change sample rate/quality
[15:34] <Peteris> mhall119: didn't work
[15:34] <mhall119> sudo apt-get autoremove
[15:34] <akos_> ChogyDan, mhall119, i have to enter it on every reboot... where can I change settings for the keyring, to try what chogydan said?
[15:34] <coz_> akos_, I believe there is a way to stop that
[15:34] <nizzan01> jarray52, it has an equivalent.. hang on..
[15:34] <_raven_> mhall119, ?
[15:34] <Peteris> mhall119: what's that?
[15:34] <mobius2> greetins
[15:34] <mhall119> Peteris, xubuntu-desktop is a meta package
[15:34] <nizzan01> info menu.lst
[15:34] <ChogyDan> akos_: Apps > Access> Passwords...
[15:34] <mhall119> meaning it only serves to install dependencies
[15:34] <coz_> akos_, by deleting the keyring, ~/.gnome2/keyrings, restarting, and entering a blank keyring password next time you save a password.
[15:35] <nizzan01> !info menu.lst
[15:35] <Xfact> but my Nvidia installer saying:  You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before
[15:35] <Xfact>          installing. " how it possible?
[15:35] <coz_> akos_,  or look here   http://davestechsupport.com/blog/2009/01/16/how-to-remove-ubuntus-password-keyring/
[15:35] <mhall119> autoremove should remove packages that were only installed as dependencies of a package that has alredy been removed
[15:35] <mobius2> does anyone know the entry syntax for checking the weather in fort collins colorado  from the terminal in 'weather-util'?
[15:35] <ChogyDan> akos_: then right click, and change password
[15:35] <mobius2> I can get Denver
[15:35] <akos_> ChogyDan, ah got it... it was in systems -> preferences -> keyrings last time i checked :)
[15:35] <nizzan01> jarray52, someone here will let us know what 9.10 uses instead of menu.lst
[15:35] <Peteris> mhall119: ah, OK, thanks, I'll try that out
[15:35] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  i see you are using speex-float-10    that may be too high of a quality for your chipset
[15:35] <mhall119> mobius2, did you man weather-util?
[15:35] <coz_> akos_,  here is another article about that    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=484918
[15:35] <ChogyDan> akos_: no, what I just said actually.  That one does something different
[15:35] <mobius2> yes
[15:35] <mobius2> mhall thats correct
[15:35] <nizzan01> !info grub2
[15:36] <akamurdera> .
[15:36] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu: changing it to float-1 or lower doesn't make a difference...
[15:36] <mhall119> mobius2, sorry then, I've never used it
[15:36] <vadi2> What's the safest way to kill a stuck Synaptic?
[15:36] <ChogyDan> akos_: it actually took me a long time to figure out there were two password things!  very confusing...
[15:36] <akos_> hmm
[15:36] <bazhang> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome Peteris
[15:36] <akos_> let me reboot
[15:36] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  pulseaudio --dump-resample-methods
[15:36] <mobius2> top > kill job id
[15:36] <akos_> ChogyDan, thanks for your help, let me reboot and check what happens :)
[15:36] <coz_> ChogyDan,  did see you  talking with him
[15:36] <bazhang> Peteris, check the section about removing xubuntu (assuming this is karmic)
[15:36] <jarray52> nizzan01: What is the kernel line?
[15:37] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu : I tried speex-fixed-1 too
[15:37] <Xfact> But my NVIDIA installer saying:  "You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing." is it talking about 'X session manager" or how it's possible to deactivate it?
[15:37] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu : Should I put auto?
[15:37] <nizzan01> jarray52, thats what used to be a line within menu.lst
[15:37] <coz_> Xfact,  what are you trying to do?
[15:37] <ChogyDan> coz_: np
[15:37] <_raven_> mhall119, you're there?
[15:37] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  you will probably need linear or something
[15:37] <Xfact> just installing
[15:37] <Peteris> bazhang: thanks
[15:37] <Hajex> is there any GIS software  work in ubuntu like ArcGIS?
[15:37] <coz_> Xfact,  just installing what?
[15:38] <Xfact> nvidia driver latest version
[15:38] <bazhang> Xfact, how are you trying to install those drivers?
[15:38] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  do my above command to we see the options
[15:38] <coz_> Xfact,  are you installing the nvidia driver manually?
[15:38] <jarray52> nizzan01: Thanks. Do you know if ethernet also uses IRQ signalling of the kernel?
[15:38] <mhall119> _raven_, on and off, yeah
[15:38] <Xfact> just dragging the 'run file on terminal and after that terminal doing itself automatically....
[15:38] <coz_> Xfact, please type the first 3 letters of someones nick that you are talking with then hit the tab button to complete it so it alerts that person
[15:38] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu: here's the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/349980/

[15:39]  * papul|reading wishes everybody a happy new year
[15:39] <NamVet> Plz help w/ Ubuntu 9.10 I can't access my folders in "PLACES"; I can click on Places & see them but when I cl on: ie Documents the timer spins & stops but no joy. Also, in Terminal I can see my original Desktop icons but they are not on the Desktop I have now. This all started at the same time. Started w/ trying to install Adobe Flashplayer w/ help from a page I found on Ubuntu Forums.
[15:39] <coz_> Xfact,  get a pencil and paper
[15:39] <nizzan01> jarray52, all i/o does   from wifi to cdrom drive to usb to bluetooth
[15:39] <_raven_> mhall119, did you get my description about the evolution problem?
[15:39] <bazhang> Xfact, that is not the supported method, you need to install from the package manager
[15:39] <CUALL> ‘how can I change my nickneme？
[15:39] <coz_> Xfact, first thing to do is    sudo apt-get install build-essential
[15:39] <mikobuntu> madcat; try src-sinc-medium-quality
[15:39] <llutz> CUALL: /nick newnick
[15:39] <madcat1990> @CUALL : /nick <nicknamehere>
[15:39] <ChogyDan> coz_: on that post, the last comment gives the same instructions I figured out.  So it must have changed for karmic
[15:39] <CUALL> llutz: thx
[15:39] <mhall119> _raven_, yes, do you have pop3 set to leave messages on the server?
[15:39] <nizzan01> jarray52, but it is low level, you may want to look at hal and udev on how they handle these
[15:39] <coz_> ChogyDan,  ok  thanks
[15:39] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu: brb then
[15:40] <mikobuntu> ok
[15:40] <_raven_> mhall119, no they should be deletet after downloading and this worked until yet - this error started as evolution again created hundreds of INBOX(hex) folders
[15:40] <coz_> Xfact,  also use my nick if you want to talk to me  it is   coz_
[15:40] <Xfact> bazhang: yes I know...but Hardy only supports 169.o2 of Nvidia that's too old, I've got the latest version from nvidia's website and trying to install it ...
[15:40] <mhall119> _raven_, that's odd, I've had my share of problems with Evolution, but never that
[15:40] <spunk> Hello, I've installed the recommended nVidia proprietary drivers in 9.10. But all colors are wrong. Any ideas?
[15:40] <jarray52> nizzan01: Is there documentation for hal and udev somewhere?
[15:40] <coz_> Xfact,  your approach will not work
[15:40] <coz_> Xfact,   please   first thing is to   sudo apt-get install build-essential
[15:41] <coz_> Xfact,  let me know when that is installed
[15:41] <mhall119> _raven_, do you have a webmail interface you can use to access the pop3 account?
[15:41] <sacarlson> OK I got my my Virtualbox upgraded but at the cost of a completed removal of the old package and delete or moved the files in my /home/user/.Virtual  directory before I could get it to run.  oh and had to reboot to get the application drop down to return.  now it works but have to reinstall all the systems.  But cool it works !!!
[15:41] <nizzan01> jarray52, there is, am not using my regular puter here.. so let me see if i can google for one
[15:41] <_raven_> mhall119, yes but shall i every mail i get delete manually??
[15:41] <akos_> ChogyDan, hmm that didn't work, nothing happened... also when I try changing the password, it asks for the old password... I can enter ANYTHING there, it doesn't say that it's incorrect...
[15:41] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu : That only made it worse D:
[15:41] <hikenboot> other distributions like redhat /debian have ways of duplicating an install with partitions setup and installed packages and configs so you can dup a system..how is this done with ubuntu?
[15:42] <Xfact> coz_: again those codes.... :(  ok fine... first easy programs then I will come back to this 'nvidia' thing....
[15:42] <mhall119> _raven_, just check the webmail to see if the messages you downloed in evolution are still on the server
[15:42] <_raven_> mhall119, yes they are
[15:42] <ChogyDan> akos_: then maybe try the directions in that blog post
[15:42] <coz_> Xfact,  ok I am not sure what you mean.... which codes?
[15:42] <mhall119> _raven_, that's very strange...
[15:42] <nizzan01> jarray52, here is one on udev    http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/nethub/article.php/3635686
[15:43] <Xfact> coz_: those 'sudo' get apt...' stuffs... confusing....
[15:43] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  oh nooo  , but at least we can see that the resample method has an effect on your mic, perhaps go through them all until it sounds best
[15:43] <akos_> ChogyDan, hmm ok... it's wierd though.. and there is a "login" keyring why doesn't network manager store it's key there?.... this is beyond me...
[15:43] <mhall119> _raven_, did you install any new plugins for evolution or anything?
[15:43] <coz_> Xfact,  oh ok   open a terminal
[15:43] <_raven_> mhall119, am i the only one who feels like running windows - soon i'll have more problems to solve than i can spend time in working on any senseful thing
[15:43] <ChogyDan> akos_: oh yeah, are you doing it to the "default" keyring?
[15:43] <Xfact> coz_: then>?
[15:43] <coz_> Xfact,    in that terminal type      sudo  apt-get install build-essential
[15:43] <_raven_> mhall119, no i did not
[15:43] <akos_> ChogyDan, yeah... that's what it wants to unlock
[15:43] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu : hmm.. ok then, I'll be back with my results, Im gonna try from the lowest to highest, if it works, I'll keep you posted.
[15:43] <akos_> ChogyDan, to get the pass for the wifi
[15:44] <mhall119> _raven_, are you new to Ubuntu?
[15:44] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  thanks
[15:44] <jarray52> nizzan01: I can Google the other one myself. I truly appreciate the help. You helped me sort out a few things that I was confused about.
[15:44] <ChogyDan> akos_: so, when you entered a blank password, it doesnt give a warning about unsafe storage?
[15:44] <Xfact> coz_: something happening on my terminal....:-/
[15:44] <mhall119> _raven_, have you rebooted your machine since this started happening?
[15:44] <coz_> Xfact,   it should be happening yes :)
[15:44] <_raven_> mhall119, no
[15:44] <nizzan01> jarray52, am glad im able to point out lil things
[15:44] <akos_> ChogyDan, if i enter a blank pass, it gives the warning, but if I enter a wrong password as the old password, it doesn't really care about it
[15:44] <coz_> Xfact, tell when that is done
[15:44] <jarray52> nizzan01: The lil things add up.
[15:44] <mhall119> _raven_, from the CLI, run: evolution --force-shutdown
[15:45] <_raven_> mhall119, no i am not new, no, reboot does not solve the problem
[15:45] <jarray52> nizzan01: Did you ever fix your wireless problem?
[15:45] <mhall119> oh, you have rebooted, nevermind
[15:45] <ChogyDan> akos_: yeah, I dunno.  I entered a blank password, and the next time I logged in it worked
[15:45] <ashley__> hey guys, i'm trying to install skype from a .deb file
[15:45] <mhall119> _raven_, you said you deleted configs, which ones?
[15:45] <ashley__> but i'm getting "dpkg: error processing skype-ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.47-1_i386.deb (--install):
[15:45] <ashley__>  short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/bin/skype')
[15:45] <ashley__> "
[15:46] <nizzan01> jarray52, yes, i stopped fiddling with wifi while it attempts to auto connect to AP
[15:46] <Xfact> coz_: can you at least give me a hint...whats actually going on there?
[15:46] <mhall119> ashley__, are you running Ubuntu 8.10?
[15:46] <_raven_> mhall119, everything - that was the "solution" the last time this happened
[15:46] <Xfact> O:-)
[15:46] <ashley__> 9.10
[15:46] <josvuk> hi happy 2010,
[15:46] <coz_> Xfact,  it is installing build-essential and all dependencies for you to be able to install the official nvidia driver you downloaded
[15:46] <ashley__> mhall119, it said 8.10+ on the downloader, I figured it to mean 8.10 and later
[15:46] <mhall119> _raven_, how long did that solution last?
[15:46] <mhall119> ashley__, oh, ok
[15:46] <Xfact> coz_: I think it's done....
[15:46] <LucidPerry> Can anyone tell me what the GNOME theme is called that makes the window borders black (but everything else remains a light color)? It's preinstalled on Ubuntu (I have LinuxMint, and forget what it's called).
[15:47] <coz_> Xfact,   ok
[15:47] <_raven_> mhall119, few weeks - force-shutdown does not help too
[15:47] <spunk> Hello, I've installed the recommended nVidia proprietary drivers in 9.10. But all colors are wrong. I'm using DVI. Any ideas?
[15:47] <coz_> Xfact,  now have you completely updated the system?
[15:47] <josvuk> does sun-java6-jre runs on powerpc? I can't get it insalled with apt-get
[15:47] <ashley__> mhall119, i could be wrong though, i don't think there's a specific release for 9.10
[15:47] <mhall119> _raven_, you can try deleting just the index files, and letting evolution re-build those
[15:47] <Xfact> coz_: yes
[15:47] <mhall119> mine gt corrupt every few months or so
[15:47] <coz_> Xfact,  ok so you already did   sudo apt-get
[15:47] <coz_> damn
[15:47] <_raven_> mhall119, how?
[15:47] <peturrrr> Hi, im going to install Ubuntu on a laptop. Should i go with Ubuntu 9.10 or UNR 9.10 ????
[15:47] <coz_> Xfact,  so you already did sudo apt-get update  and after that is done    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[15:47] <mhall119> _raven_, in ~/.evolution/mail/local/
[15:47] <Xfact> coz_: yes, so
[15:48] <coz_> Xfact,  you did both update and upgrade?
[15:48] <mhall119> _raven_, delete the .ibex.index files
[15:48] <ashley__> has anyone installed skype on ubuntu 9.10?
[15:48] <SwedeMike> ashley__: yes.
[15:48] <coz_> Xfact, these are important steps to accomplush "first" before attemtping to manually install the nvidia driver
[15:49] <Xfact> ocoz_: ok ok
[15:49] <coz_> Xfact,   so in that terminal   type    sudo apt-get update
[15:49] <_raven_> mhall119, ok i'll do it soon but by the way - is there a tool which can export every single mail into txt/eml files with filename date-from/to-subject?
[15:49] <evandrox> alguem que tecle em portugues?
[15:49] <coz_> Xfact,  then  when that is finished  type    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:49] <coz_> Xfact,  let me know when that is all f inished
[15:49] <bazhang> !pt | evandrox
[15:49] <Xfact> coz_: remember, I already have a nvidia driver installed,...I am just trying to update it privately...
[15:50] <mhall119> _raven_, I don't know of any, but it probably wouldn't be hard to make
[15:50] <zamba> i'm having problems getting my locale set up correctly..
[15:50] <zamba> oh.. nevermind.. i'm running debian :)
[15:50] <coz_> Xfact,   not going to happen that way... if you used   system/administration/hardware driver  you cannot install the one you downloaded  with that one installed
[15:50] <coz_> Xfact,  so you would have to go to system/administration/hardware drivers and disable that driver
[15:51] <mhall119> _raven_, evolution stores email in plain-text mbox format
[15:51] <Xfact> Coz_: ok what I should do...first disabling the driver or first upgrading....
[15:51] <NamVet> 2 Wks ago - (08:39:03 AM) NamVet: Plz help w/ Ubuntu 9.10 I can't access my folders in "PLACES"; I can click on Places & see them but when I cl on: ie Documents the timer spins & stops but no joy. Also, in Terminal I can see my original Desktop icons but they are not on the Desktop I have now. This all started at the same time. Started w/ trying to install Adobe Flashplayer w/ help from a page I found on Ubuntu Forums.
[15:51] <coz_> Xfact, well doesnt matter w hich you do first both have to be done before we can continue
[15:51] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  so the driver in the repos is not working? or are you just upgradeing it because you can?
[15:52] <LucidPerry> Can anyone tell me what theme this is: http://i.imgur.com/5zH6P.png? It's installed by default.
[15:52] <coz_> Dr_Willis,  I was going to get to that part eventually :)
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  make a new user - see if the desktop works normally for them as a 'test'
[15:52] <Xfact> Dr_Willis: Existing driver is working fine...just privately trying to have the latest version...myself!
[15:52] <dath> hi
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  i wouldent bother. You could break things.
[15:53] <coz_> Xfact,  you have to understand that if you do install this manually  you will have to reinstall it if any kernel or xorg update occure
[15:53] <dath> i don't see any updates more in update manager or synaptic. it downloads package information (42 files) but doesnt show updates :(
[15:53] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  id spend the time reading up on bash/shell basics or other usefull things. :)
[15:53] <NamVet> Dr_Willis: Where might I find the instructs to create a new user?
[15:53] <coz_> Xfact,   oh  well if the driver is working then keep it  however  I do install the current driver here myself all the time
[15:53] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  sudo adduser bgates
[15:54] <NamVet> Dr_Willis okay I'll try that. TY
[15:54] <nizzan01> NamVet, also man adduser to understand the other parameters that comes along with it
[15:54] <_raven_> mhall119, yes i know about the mboxformat but it does not name the files like i need it - ok, i now deleted the ibex files
[15:54] <Xfact> coz_: woh woh...things changing again! well, I am happy with my old drivers... apologies for evil experiments on my Ubuntu PC....sorry...
[15:55] <coz_> Xfact,  no problem... as I said I dont use the drivers offered by ubuntu I only use the official drivers here
[15:55] <Xfact> what I should do...I am confuesd....
[15:55] <Xfact> :-/totally lost
[15:55] <coz_> Xfact,   well  ok  here are the pros and cons
[15:55] <bazhang> Xfact, take a look at the guide book I linked you to
[15:55] <mhall119> _raven_, right, but there are plenty of libraries for working with mbox files, you can probably write a quick perl or python script to do what you need
[15:55] <coz_> Xfact,   if you use the ubuntu drivers offered they will automatically be updated if kernel changes take place
[15:55] <LucidPerry> Can anyone tell me what theme this is: http://i.imgur.com/5zH6P.png? It's installed by default.
[15:56] <mhall119> LucidPerry, New Wave
[15:56] <coz_> Xfact,  with the official nvidia driver you would have to reinstall the driver if kernel and xorg  are updatd
[15:56] <LucidPerry> mhall119: Thanks!
[15:56] <mhall119> np
[15:56] <coz_> Xfact,   the down side of the ubuntu nvidia drivers are they are generally not up to date
[15:56] <_raven_> mhall119, i never scripted with linux yet..... would be time to do it - what to do now with evolution?
[15:56] <NamVet> Dr_Willis password updated successfully
[15:56] <NamVet> Changing the user information for bgates
[15:56] <NamVet> Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default
[15:56] <NamVet> 	Full Name []:
[15:56] <FloodBot1> NamVet: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:56] <shylent> why don't I have "analog mix" device in gnome volume control?
[15:56] <mhall119> _raven_, restart it, and see what happens
[15:56] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  enter what you want. it dosent metter
[15:56] <dath> i don't see any updates anymore in update manager :(
[15:57] <Dr_Willis> with linux - it pays to 'think' :) not just follow irc advice mindlessy
[15:57] <mhall119> dath, then you're probably up to date
[15:57] <NamVet> Dr_Willis Sry I copied the terminal where it is now to show you, didn't know it was going to create multiple chat lines.
[15:57] <coz_> Xfact,   dealing with the nvidia downloaded drivers become easy once you understand how to install them
[15:57] <dath> mhall119: can't be, i havent updated for 2 weeks
[15:57] <mhall119> dath, lol
[15:57] <NamVet> Dr_Willis Okay
[15:57] <_raven_> mhall119, still loading and loading and loading and ...... no solution
[15:58] <mhall119> _raven_, okay, try Thunderbird
[15:58] <coz_> Xfact,  howeve... if you are not having any video issues  withi the current driver then  you may not need to update them
[15:58] <tomask> How to extract rar archives in ubuntu?
[15:58] <_raven_> mhall119, what?
[15:58] <erUSUL> !rar | tomask
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> !rar | tomask
[15:58] <Xfact> coz_: thanks for your help, I think I should spand some days (just 3 days old) more on Ubuntu first then I will touch in drivers and 'sudo' sections... thanks for your guide...I am not confidant that I will do something wrong in the major sections then it'll be more problem :(
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> :)
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> !info unp | tomask
[15:58] <mhall119> tomask, sudo apt-get install unrar
[15:58] <nastas> happy new year everyone!
[15:59] <tomask> Thanks for answers ;-)
[15:59] <coz_> Xfact,  oh !!!!  ok that is a wise decision... manual driver install takes a bit of experience to completely understand the process :)
[15:59] <mhall119> _raven_, if Evolution keeps screwing up, try another email client like Thunderbird
[15:59] <petsounds> hi, does sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will upgrade my jaunty installation to karmic? 'cause i don't want to. thanks
[15:59] <_raven_> mhall119, and next?
[15:59] <mhall119> you mean if Thunderbird doesn't work?
[16:00] <NamVet> Dr_Willis this is what I see now: Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default Full Name []: ^Cadduser: `/usr/bin/chfn bgates' exited from signal 2. Ex
[16:00] <paulus68> what is the command on the terminal to see what size my directories are
[16:00] <_raven_> mhall119, no but do you mean i should not use evolution any more?
[16:00] <newser> hello, happy new year! I would like to know how can I install ubuntu in a usb flashdrive and make a partition for my files in fat. I have a 16gb flashdrive and would like to have at leat 10gb for my files...

[16:00] <paulus68> and what can I do to delete useless files
[16:00] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  all i do is give name and  password and hit enter a few times... If you cant even add a new user. You got some issues with the system
[16:01] <coz_> Xfact,  ah ha!    ok open a terminal and type    lspci | grep -i vga  or just copy and past that command into the terminal
[16:01] <adarsha> Hajex : use cheese

[16:02] <zoug> i have Nvidia 8400MGS, slow animations
[16:02] <Xfact> nvidia
[16:02] <coz_> Xfact,  now in that terminal  type    nvidia-settings   and when that opens   it should tell you the driver version being used
[16:02] <zoug> sometimes..
[16:02] <Xfact> zoug: you got any decent solutions yet?
[16:02] <paulus68> what is the command on the terminal to see what size my directories are? and how can I delete useless files(files that are no longer in use in 9.10  its on a server edition
[16:02] <zoug> Xfact: no :(
[16:02] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  You are doing somthing very basic/fundamental wrong I imagine..   --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/349989/
[16:03] <zoug> Xfact: im having the latest drivers from the nvidia website
[16:03] <NamVet> Dr_Willis I have a 8gb flashusb, how might i bu my files to it in terminal?
[16:03] <Xfact> nvidia driver version 169.12
[16:03] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  find where its mounted, or mount it , then cd to where its mounted.
[16:03] <coz_> Xfact,  mm  that is rather old
[16:03] <Xfact> zoug: then you should not have the prob
[16:03] <Xfact> Coz_: yes...
[16:03] <coz_> Xfact,  let me check the more current driver hold on
[16:03] <NamVet> Dr_Willis going to reinstall Karmic Koala
[16:03] <zoug> Xfact: upgrade to 190.42.
[16:04] <Xfact> ciz_: irritatingly old!
[16:04] <adarsha> Hajex: Which is ur hardware?
[16:04] <coz_> Xfact,  is this a 32 or 64 bit system?
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  if its your users settings causing the issue. You could just delete teh various gnome user settings.
[16:04] <Xfact> zoug: yes... iwant to...so asking from coz_ and others...
[16:04] <Xfact> Coz_: 32 bit
[16:04] <coz_> ok
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  that was the point of adding a new user. if the problem does NOT affect a new user. Then its your 'broken' users setting files.
[16:04] <NamVet> Dr_Willis cmd to use to show whr usb is mounted plz?
[16:04] <Jithuz> hi
[16:04] <Jithuz> :)
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  'mount' command
[16:05] <coz_> Xfact,  actually the 190.53 is the most current driver for that card
[16:05] <coz_> Xfact,  however as I mentioned...installing a driv
[16:05] <christopheb> How can I solve these xorg glitches? http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/1558/screenshotqek.png
[16:05] <Xfact> coz_: I know and I was trying to install that one...
[16:05] <Hajex> adarsha: VGP-VCC6
[16:05] <coz_> Xfact,  driver manually takes a bit more effort than letting ubuntu do it
[16:05] <Hajex> sony vaio cr354
[16:05] <coz_> Xfact,   what exactly is sluggish when using that driver?
[16:05] <Xfact> cvoz_: what should I do next...
[16:06] <adarsha> Hajex: try googling, u may get some compatible software.
[16:06] <Hajex> easycam ... but it's not working with 9.10
[16:06] <Hajex> work only in 8.04
[16:06] <Jithuz> I have recently installed Ubuntu 9.10. But when I tried to configure pppoeconfig I got the error Unknown error 132. Can somebody advice how to solve it? I'm a novice on ubuntu
[16:06] <Xfact> coz_: even you know...my card support maximum 32 bit color depth but it's giving only 24 bit maximu (current )
[16:06] <NamVet> Dr_Willis i believe it is mounted but can't remember cmd to see it in terminal. (im a newb)
[16:07] <coz_> Xfact,  where are you getting that number?
[16:07] <Jithuz> I have recently installed Ubuntu 9.10. But when I tried to configure pppoeconfig I got the error Unknown error 132. Can somebody advice how to solve it? I'm a novice on ubuntu
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  the 'mount' command shows all mounted filesystems normally
[16:07] <zoug> coz_: animations doesnt work. for e.g.: minimize. it minimizes small terminals but now big maximized windows like firefox quickly.
[16:07] <NamVet> Dr_Willis ty
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  or look in /media/  to see what looks like it
[16:07] <Jithuz> can somebody PM personnel and suggest me to get rid of the error
[16:07] <Xfact> coz_: color depth number from Nvidia X server settings...panel
[16:07] <NamVet> Dr_Willis cd /media/  ?
[16:07] <Jithuz> I have recently installed Ubuntu 9.10. But when I tried to configure pppoeconfig I got the error Unknown error 132. Can somebody advice how to solve it? I'm a novice on ubuntu
[16:08] <coz_> zoug,   I assume you mean  in compiz?
[16:08] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  yes.
[16:08] <zoug> coz_: yes
[16:08] <NamVet> Dr_Willis okay here goes , ty
[16:08] <coz_> Xfact,  well in all honesty  without experience with this   i would put off installing the current official driver  and see if someone can help with the sluggishness
[16:08] <prince> hello can some one help me to configure my dial up smartlink modem
[16:09] <NamVet> Dr_Willis I see USBDEVICE
[16:09] <coz_> zoug,   ok explain in a little more detail what you mean by  minimizing not working
[16:09] <NamVet> Dr_Willis Do a cd to USBDEVICE?
[16:09] <Jithuz> I have recently installed Ubuntu 9.10. But when I tried to configure pppoeconfig I got the error Unknown error 132. Can somebody advice how to solve it? I'm a novice on ubuntu
[16:09] <Xfact> coz_: the n i should not try anything this time ? :(
[16:09] <zoug> coz_: minimizing is slow, going from one workspace to another is sometimes slow.
[16:09] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  try it and see. You dont need me to hold your hand for this :)
[16:10] <Jithuz> I have recently installed Ubuntu 9.10. But when I tried to configure pppoeconfig I got the error Unknown error 132. Can somebody advice how to solve it? I'm a novice on ubuntu
[16:10] <laxative> shit
[16:10] <coz_> Xfact,  well  it is just that the procedure is a bit "complex" for a beginner   ....it can be dne bu
[16:10] <coz_> Xfact,  but you would have play very very close attention
[16:10] <zoug> coz_: normally it would minimize in 140ms(example) but it takes more than that.
[16:10] <christopheb> What can I try to solve these glitches? http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/1558/screenshotqek.png
[16:10] <prince> sl-modem-daemon_2.9.11~20090222-1_i386 i installed this one which suggested by scanmodem
[16:11] <NamVet> Dr_Willis rgr that, been fighting this going on 3 wks, started on this chat last night to get help. thanks for your help i will goto karmic terminal documentation, goodbye and thanx
[16:11] <coz_> zoug,  is it choppy or sluggish?
[16:11] <prince> but how to configure it
[16:11] <mhall119> christopheb, running Emerald?
[16:11] <zoug> coz_: yeah, but not always.
[16:11] <christopheb> mhall119, that's right
[16:11] <paissad-hp> hi all and happy new year, is there a file where i could retreive the release of ubuntu (karmic, or jaunty, intrepid and so on ...)
[16:11] <paissad-hp> thanks in advance
[16:11] <erUSUL> !version | paissad-hp
[16:11] <christopheb> but even when I turn off the effects, my mouse is glitched
[16:11] <mhall119> christopheb, is it only the window decorations that are giving a problem?
[16:11] <zoug> coz_: i noticed it more often on memory intensive apps
[16:12] <paissad-hp> erUSUL, thanks
[16:12] <coz_> zoug,  which video card are you running?
[16:12] <christopheb> mhall119: no, my mouse is also very weird
[16:12] <zoug> coz_: 8400mgs
[16:12] <zoug> coz_: dell 1420
[16:12] <coz_> zoug,   and  how much memory on that card?
[16:12] <mhall119> christopheb, hmm, the mouse is usually rendered by the hardware, not X11, so it's probably a driver problem
[16:12] <zoug> coz_: 128
[16:12] <coz_> zoug,   and which applications cause this to perform sluggishly
[16:13] <zoug> coz_: mostly on maximized windows and rarely on a small sized terminal
[16:13] <mhall119> zoug, do you have desktop effects enabled?
[16:13] <adarsha> Hajex: http://www.popies.net/meye/ try this link, i found something that might help u..
[16:13] <christopheb> mhall110: hmm, thing is, I have a HD4850 ATI, and with the binary drivers (you know the hardware support, activate etc), I had lots of problems with video playback, full screen playback of other things, and my effects were pretty laggy
[16:13] <zoug> mhall119: yeah
[16:14] <Hajex> adarsha : thanks so much
[16:14] <coz_> zoug,   I am going to suggest going to the #nvidia channel first and explaining the situation there ...they may have a few suggestions for you to speed that up....is this a laptop or desktop?
[16:14] <prince> where to find smartlink modem drivers
[16:14] <christopheb> mhall119: right now I'm running the open source drivers, they are fast, but they give me these weird icons
[16:14] <bonhoffer> so how do i find the ip of my nas -- smb connects to it
[16:14] <zoug> coz_: laptop
[16:14] <paulus68> what is the command to see what the file size is of each directory through the terminal and how can I free up diskspace on my server?
[16:14] <zoug> coz_: il try for #nvidia

[16:16] <coz_> zoug,  ok check with the #nvidia guys first then :)
[16:16] <Jithuz> Hi
[16:16] <mhall119> zoug, how does it run without desktop effects?
[16:16] <shylent> why don't I have "analog mix" device in gnome volume control?
[16:16] <Hajex> adarsha : happy new year for u too ^_^
[16:16] <Jithuz> I think I'm not disturbing you
[16:16] <DartmanX> Im trying to configure an ubuntu deriviative, does ubuntu have a "standard" tool to configure wireless networking?
[16:16] <zoug> mhall119: absolutely fine.
[16:16] <mka> paulus68, try "man du"
[16:16] <mhall119> christopheb, yeah, I've had graphics clitches with the open source ati driver too
[16:16] <erUSUL> DartmanX: network manager
[16:16] <mhall119> not sure if there is a solution yet
[16:16] <bazhang> DartmanX, which derivative
[16:16] <zoug> mhall119: im infact right now without compiz
[16:16] <vadi01> any 64 bit ubuntu user (9.10) here with a flashplayer issue where youtube vidz sometimes misbehave?
[16:17] <Jithuz> I have recently installed Ubuntu 9.10. But when I tried to configure pppoeconfig I got the error Unknown error 132. Can somebody advice how to solve it? I'm a novice on ubuntu
[16:17] <ph> vadi01, I have the same problem as you do
[16:17] <mhall119> zoug, maybe try playing with some of the compiz settings on textures and what not
[16:17] <zoug> mhall119: ok
[16:17] <christopheb> mhall119: so Installing the binary driver solves the glitches, but he's very slow
[16:17] <DartmanX> mythbuntu
[16:17] <vadi01> ph: did you manage to find a solution?
[16:17] <Jithuz> hi
[16:17] <zoug> coz_: one more thing..enabling compiz also enables flickery video
[16:17] <mhall119> christopheb, slow, really?  I had to stop using it last year because ATI dropped support for my chipset
[16:17] <prince> iwho will help me
[16:17] <bazhang> DartmanX, ah okay that is an officially supported one not a derivative
[16:18] <christopheb> mhall119: for example, right now I can just scroll in firefox with flash and ads and whatever, minimize it without problems, with the binary drivers that's just so choppy
[16:18] <zoug> coz_: any solution?
[16:18] <coz_> zoug,   ok that is definilty a driver issue     so check in #nvidia if that particular card has issues
[16:18] <mhall119> christopheb, huh, I had the opposite experience
[16:18] <prince> is any one here know config modem
[16:18] <DartmanX> its dead in #ubuntu-mythtv, so I came here but didnt want to be told to go back there :)
[16:18] <ph> vadi01, not a solution, but two possible workarounds. 1. disable compiz, 2. right-click in the flash window, hold the right mouse button, then left-click on the desired button
[16:18] <zoug> coz_: okay, thanks for the help!

[16:19] <Jithuz> I have been trying to solve this for a long time
[16:19] <mhall119> christopheb, maybe, I dunno
[16:19] <ph> Jithuz, have you looked up what the error number means?
[16:19] <Jithuz> unknown error 132
[16:20] <Jithuz> I checked but I havent found the driver
[16:20] <Jithuz> installed on it
[16:20] <Jithuz> I downloaded the dvd

[16:22] <mka> paulus68, if you are sharp with BASH scripting you can use "find" to traverse folders and pipe out folders to "du" and have an "if statement" based on the size of that folder whether to erase the contents of that folder or not

[16:31] <Jithuz> hi
[16:32] <Jithuz> I'm explaining my issue below please excuse me if this a bit more explanatory
[16:32] <Jithuz> I have recently installed Ubuntu 9.10. But when I tried to configure pppoeconfig I got the error Unknown error 132. Can somebody advice how to solve it? I'm a novice on ubuntu
[16:32] <Jithuz> First I installed with the ubuntu 9.10 cd image
[16:32] <Jithuz> then I installed with the ubuntu 9.10 dvd image
[16:32] <Jithuz> I got the same error
[16:32] <Jithuz> I installed that on my friend's notebook
[16:32] <FloodBot1> Jithuz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:32] <Jithuz> We both got the same error.
[16:32] <Izinucs> tst
[16:32] <paulus68> mka: well I thought there was a way that I could pinpoint with 1 command what the directory size is from each directory
[16:33] <JSeymour> Jithuz: Post long explanations, screen dumps, log output, etc to a paste site, such as pastebin, and paste the URL to the resulting page here.

[16:36] <mka> paulus68, you can use "du -sh /*"
[16:37] <OerHeks> have fun Guest23021
[16:37] <solaris> mka, du -kshc /* is better readable, and gives you a summary
[16:37] <mka> paulus68, you can use "du -sh /*" and after "cd" to the folder you suspect and then "du -sh *" on it and so on
[16:37] <mka> solaris, I know about those

[16:59] <capticus> I am looking into a VPS to run 5 very low traffic Wordpress Blogs (Apache2, MySql, PHP).  What sort of RAM requirements would I need?
[16:59] <iceroot> [uNF]: ubuntu just comes with vi as default, not vim

[16:59] <mka> z3rongod, what did you do?
[16:59] <Xix> can anyone tell me where I could find Battlefield 2  free servers? (or link to where I should be asking this :D )
[16:59] <[uNF]> sorry i'm a noob
[16:59] <Dr_Willis> vi is actually 'vim tiny' i think.
[16:59] <iceroot> [uNF]: no need to feel sorry
[16:59] <z3rongod> mka i just told you
[17:00] <z3rongod> I installed windows 7 all good so far then i added a mirror HDD using window's raid software. They synched and i wanted to see if it really worked. Got the Ubuntu dvd in booted and used live. The files were there on both drives identical. Now i can't boot to windows
[17:00]  * Izinucs agrees with Dr_Willis 
[17:00] <[uNF]> so when I do the command, there is just a blank file... I just add what you said and save it?
[17:00] <iceroot> z3rongod: doesnt sound like a ubuntu problem
[17:00] <Jeruvy> z3rongod: did you mirror win7's boot partition?
[17:00] <Dr_Willis> [uNF]:  i think you did a typo. that file shouldent be empty
[17:00] <solaris> z3rongod: Were you able to boot the new raid configuration before you tried the dvd?
[17:00] <Izinucs> z3rongod: the live cd doesn't touch your drives
[17:01] <[uNF]> then reboot?
[17:01] <[uNF]> also, the audio problem i'm having, when I do restart the audio comes right back...
[17:01] <[uNF]> just so you know, I didn't explain fully
[17:01] <z3rongod> Jeruvy it wouldn't let me mirror the system reserved partition, it said something like "plex not found"
[17:01] <delltechie> usr13: it does not show up in my list . (thought all compatible software showed up in the ubuntu software updater)
[17:01] <mka> z3rongod, what ADDITIONAL actions did you do, you only mounted these drives?
[17:01] <njbair> I've got a TV capture card on /dev/video0. When I open Cheese I just see color bars. Anybody know how to fix it?

[17:03] <mka> z3rongod, how is that having to do with ubuntu because you have not installed ubuntu into your machine
[17:03] <solaris> z3rongod: Did you install the MBR in both drives?
[17:03] <usr13> apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server
[17:03] <AllHailTheGeek> Trying to mount my ubuntu drive in linux, most utilities will mount, but say "Drive is not formatted, format now?" in explorer
[17:03] <z3rongod> solaris: I do not know what that is
[17:03] <AllHailTheGeek> Any ideas?
[17:03] <[uNF]> solaris, that's the thing, I have no idea... it's happened like 3 times... all I really do is watch stuff on youtube, and I have a virtual box installed...
[17:03] <delltechie> usr13: is that the command i need to run to get them all ?
[17:03] <usr13> delltechie: But...
[17:03] <Xfact> coz_ are you there?
[17:03] <Dr_Willis> AllHailTheGeek:  you mean in WINDOWS it wants for format your linux drive?
[17:03] <mka> z3rongod, did you install ubuntu into your machine or any component of ubuntu?

[17:03] <AllHailTheGeek> Dr_Willis, yessir
[17:03] <z3rongod> solaris: I've tried booting from one HDD (the one that has sytstem reserved space partiton) and still can't boot
[17:04] <Jeruvy> z3rongod: sounds like you need to verify the boot partition is still in the right spot.  Get your hands on BCDEdit and check it out.
[17:04] <z3rongod> mka: No
[17:04] <AllHailTheGeek> Dr_Willis, I just want to copy files over, from my linux parts.
[17:04] <Dr_Willis> AllHailTheGeek:  Not all the windows utils can handle ext4,  ive even had issues with ext2/3 tools in windows.
[17:04] <z3rongod> Jeruvy: Would it be easier to install windows again mirror it again?
[17:04] <AllHailTheGeek> Dr_Willis, my drive is ext3
[17:04] <Dr_Willis> AllHailTheGeek:  be safer to boot to linux and copy the files over.
[17:04] <z3rongod> As the HDD are breand new, no important data on them
[17:04] <ratonplayer> i would make a NTFS partition , for that
[17:04] <z3rongod> HDDs*
[17:04] <ratonplayer> you
[17:04] <mka> solaris, z3rongod 's MBR is definitely having windows' boot loader
[17:04] <solaris> [uNF]: That's nothing like the problem I've experienced. This might be a hardware error. Is the computer new?
[17:04] <Jeruvy> z3rongod: I'd find out what messed up so you don't repeat the problem
[17:04] <lwslws> AllHailTheGeek: you've tried etx2fsd / ext2ifs?
[17:04] <AllHailTheGeek> Meh, I was hoping not to need to do that, but meh.
[17:05] <delltechie> usr13: how do i terminate the command  apt-cache search apache

[17:05] <AllHailTheGeek> lwslws, they see the drive, and mount it, but windows wants to format the drives
[17:05] <[uNF]> solaris, yeah it's like 6 months old
[17:05] <z3rongod> One thing's for sure i won't try to run ubuntu again hehe
[17:05] <Dr_Willis> AllHailTheGeek:  or check out the windows tools/settings again. I dont trust windows read/writeing ext2/3/4
[17:05] <delltechie> never run much stuff on the terminal

[17:06] <lwslws> as with all things in windows... try a reboot ;)
[17:06] <mka> Jeruvy, solaris, z3rongod, Dr_Willis, do you know a default filesystem type for windows 7, is it NTFS?
[17:06] <AllHailTheGeek> ha

[17:06] <delltechie> i ran  apt-cache search apache and now get : in the terminal window
[17:07] <[uNF]> solaris, like there is nothing in there, is that fine?
[17:07] <Jeruvy> mka: yes it's ntfs still.
[17:07] <solaris> [uNF]: That file shouldn't be empty
[17:07] <z3rongod> mka: They are NTFS fromated

[17:08] <mka> z3rongod, there should be another reason, and it should be windows 7 problem then not ubuntu's
[17:08] <z3rongod> I don
[17:08] <z3rongod> I don't solely blame ubuntu
[17:08] <z3rongod> It's just that it didn't boot after i used it :)
[17:09] <mka> z3rongod, you don't even have to blame ubuntu
[17:09] <z3rongod> I'm sure it's windows fault saomewwhere
[17:09] <delltechie> usr13: what about xampp for linux?
[17:09] <z3rongod> To be honest i detest windows but i need it
[17:09] <solaris> z3rongod: Since you haven't done anything except mounting two partitions, it's definitively not ubunut's fault

[17:10] <solaris> mka: Probably a gamer..
[17:10] <z3rongod> mka: to run photoshop and play games and also run other software
[17:10] <mka> z3rongod, my kids are watching this!!

[17:11] <usr13> delltechie: I don't know.
[17:11] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  :(   not sure i can help any further m8
[17:11] <[uNF]> solaris, any suggestions? how would I go about re-installing audio drivers? I know nothing about fixing drivers on linux
[17:11] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu: I Appreciate the help you gave :)
[17:11] <LucidPerry> What's the *absolute* best way to install x64 flash on Ubuntu? I've tried downloading from the Adobe Lab site and using the nonfree version in the repos, each time I have problems (I'm often unable to interact with flash...i.e. press play on videos, etc).
[17:11] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu : Though, if you could give me that sampling changing part...
[17:12] <mka> jd4, we are all from greece, just ask a question
[17:12] <solaris> [uNF]: Adding the lines mentioned did the trick for me.. Have you googled your problem?
[17:12] <jimdandy> Hi everyone! Can someone please help me get the ubuntu installer to detect my usb dvdrom drive?
[17:12] <macman_> help mounting an external hdd http://www.pastie.org/763243
[17:12] <usr13> delltechie: I've only done it manually.  Just install a psp enabled apache server and mysql and your good to go.
[17:12] <feach> hi im having a issue having a route really work  http://pastebin.com/m562bbd3e
[17:12] <LucidPerry> jimdandy: What do you mean? Are you trying to install Ubuntu from a DVD placed in the drive?
[17:12] <delltechie> usr13: k thanks
[17:12] <mka> jimdandy, what configuration do you have and what do you want to do?
[17:12] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  this? >>> pulseaudio --dump-resample-methods
[17:13] <[uNF]> solaris, I understand adding that line to the file might help, but the file is empty, and you said that's not right, right?
[17:13] <solaris> LucidPerry: Flash x64 is still early beta, many people are experiencing bugs. Doesn't really matter how you install it, the software's simply not finished yet.
[17:13] <jarray52> In /dev, how many tty devices do people have? I have an abnormally large number of them(60+), which seems strange.
[17:13] <solaris> [uNF]: It shouldn't be. Mine wasn't
[17:13] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu : noo xD i need a way to switch from (example) 48000Hz mode to 44100Hz
[17:13] <LucidPerry> solaris: Bleh. Goddamn you Adobe :<
[17:13] <lwslws> macman_: a) are you sure that's an ext2/ext3 partition, b) have you tried fsck /dev/sdx# ?
[17:13] <usr13> Set up username and password and database in mysql and use that info to set up joomal, (do the webbased install), then install the template of your choosing and away you go.

[17:13] <solaris> LucidPerry: Always the same with proprietary software..
[17:13] <mikobuntu> madcat ; ah ok
[17:14] <grawity> jarray52: Having tty{0..63} is normal.
[17:14] <OerHeks> LucidPerry it removes other stuff and downloads/installs and cleanes up
[17:14] <jimdandy> Thanks for the interest. I am trying to install from the 9.10 Ubuntu Alternate cd. I have a usb dvdrom drive which can install Ubuntu desktop. I am trying to shoehorn a smaller system onto a netbook with no internal optical drive.
[17:14] <LucidPerry> OerHeks: I'd rather not use a script. They tend to be messy...I'll just download the .sh file from Adobe Labs and place it in my plug-in folder.
[17:14] <mikobuntu> madcat;   (sudo) gedit /etc/pulse/*     brings up all the files

[17:15] <mikobuntu> madcat1990,  it is in daemon.conf where you change sample rate
[17:16] <macman_> mka, http://www.pastie.org/763249
[17:16] <madcat1990> @mikobuntu :  ok, will give it a spin :) thanks
[17:16] <delltechie> ubottu: thanks :)
[17:16] <LucidPerry> jimdandy: Look here for more specific instructions:
[17:16] <greenlynx> jimdandy, i agree w/ LucidPerry ^^
[17:16] <LucidPerry> jimdandy: Oops, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[17:16] <delltechie> ah thanks usr13 :)
[17:16] <jimdandy> I'll try that, but I seem to remember the alternate cds on usb had trouble "recognizing the cdrom" also, ie. they couldn't mount all the installer files
[17:16] <NamVet> Created new user / logged off and logged on as new user and can access folders in "Places" now. How can I move my personal files to the new user using terminal?
[17:16] <feach> hi im having a issue having a route really work  http://pastebin.com/m562bbd3e  ,  it works if i set the gw in /etc/network/interfaces but of course you can't have multiple gateways
[17:17] <jimdandy> I'll give it a shot
[17:17] <capticus> how do I tell which processes are starting automatically in ubuntu 9.10 server?
[17:17] <LucidPerry> jimdandy: I'm still not entirely understanding. Are you saying that plugged your CD-drive into the netbook and attempted to boot into the Ubuntu installer, but it didn't work?
[17:17] <usr13> NP, good luck with your joomla page.  Joomla is pretty cool - a ton of fun and very powerful.
[17:17] <macman_> mka, any ideas ?
[17:17] <lwslws> macman_: as before, tried fscking it?
[17:17] <mka> macman_, try "mkdir ~/mount_point && sudo mount /dev/sdc1 ~/mount_point"
[17:18] <solaris> NamVet: cp -rp /home/olduser/* /home/newuser/*; cp -rp /home/olduser/.* /home/newuser/*
[17:18] <[uNF]> well thanks for the advice solaris
[17:18] <usr13> delltechie: CMS is the wave of the future /imo
[17:18] <[uNF]> I'll try to figure it out, if not I guess it's a fresh install
[17:18] <solaris> [uNF]: You're welcome. I'm sorry I couldn't have helped you further
[17:18] <[uNF]> np ty sir
[17:19] <mka> macman_, let the kernel autodetect the filesystem type by itself
[17:19] <jimdandy> Yes, I plug it in and put in an Ubuntu Desktop cd, and it works. It chokes on the Alternate install cd, can't find the cdrom.
[17:19] <NamVet> solaris ty i'll give it a shot. have patience pz, old man pushing 70 new to ubuntu :)
[17:19] <jimdandy> I'll fiddle with the usb methods.
[17:20] <mka> NamVet, is that you, great
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  actually you dont want to remove the old user.
[17:20] <LucidPerry> jimdandy: Ah. That's strange. Try the USB method--I think it'll be much easier than attempting to troubleshoot the drive.
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  but  you could clean out the oldbroken users configs and in theory that accoutn should start working right
[17:20] <mka> macman_, are you winning?
[17:21] <theTroy> I cannot find file .Xauthority. How to create one? (I mean, proper file, not just empty file)
[17:21] <macman_> mka,  ok one sec
[17:21] <lwslws> theTroy: you shouldn't need to?
[17:21] <usr13> NamVet: Why did you to decide to ditch the original user?
[17:21] <theTroy> lwslws: I do need it.
[17:21] <NamVet> Dr_Willis thank you, w/ instruction its possible but you are dealing w/ a newb who is out of water laying in the sun gasping for air
[17:22] <macman_> mka, im doing that command nomw
[17:22] <zuxw> is it possible to upgrade from 6.1 to 9.1 directly without going though all the iterations in between?
[17:22] <bazhang> zuxw, only with a fresh install
[17:22] <ctmjr> zuxw: no
[17:22] <theTroy> zuxw: its going to be easier to reinstall, at least as far as I could tell
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  only the first user has 'sudo' rights - so dont remove them.
[17:22] <zuxw> hm. ok
[17:23] <AllHailTheGeek> Well, ofc, rebooting solved the minor problem
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> usr13:  his users configs are goofed up it seems. the new user was a 'test' to see if it worked with a newly made user.
[17:23] <lwslws> AllHailTheGeek: good to hear :)
[17:23] <delltechie> this command apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server does not work in ubuntu 9.10 i get the message The program 'apache2' can be found in the following packages:  * apache2-mpm-event etc
[17:23] <AllHailTheGeek> fscking winblows
[17:23] <theTroy> zuxw: there are a few things that could aid you with it, such as iirc there was a program which would remember what packages you had installed
[17:23] <usr13> NamVet: If you REALLY want to ditch the old user, you'll need to make some revisions to the /etc/group file first.... but as Dr_Willis suggests, it would be better to fix what you have, (old user).
[17:23] <AllHailTheGeek> =D
[17:23] <brebenel> Heloo!, mai nem Brebenel
[17:23] <lwslws> AllHailTheGeek: lesson : windows needs frequent rebooting to stay happy ;)
[17:23] <theTroy> So could anyone help me to get the .Xauthority back please?
[17:23] <usr13> Dr_Willis: O.. ok
[17:23] <AllHailTheGeek> lwslws, I know, but I figured it would be ok.
[17:23] <NamVet> (10:20:46 AM) Dr_Willis should I shut down and log on as the old user?
[17:24] <mka> delltechie, those are not commands
[17:24] <lwslws> AllHailTheGeek: keep in mind those are drivers you're installing (ext2ifs, ext2fsd)
[17:24] <AllHailTheGeek> Good point.
[17:24] <lwslws> they aren't quite kernel-mode, but they're close
[17:24] <theTroy> AllHailTheGeek: I once kept windows 7 with uptime of 3 months. I did not notice that for the last month I had silent data corruption going
[17:24] <AllHailTheGeek> ouch.
[17:24] <theTroy> only when my music started to sound funny I figured
[17:24] <lwslws> eep
[17:24] <usr13> NamVet: No need to shut down, you can log out and log in as different user as many times as you like.  Rebooting is not necessary.
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  you could move the broken users .gnome* and .gconf* directories somewhere, then login as that user. and it should 'reset' your gnome settings back to defauilts
[17:25] <lwslws> ext2ifs silenty killed my entire partition once
[17:25] <delltechie> ah
[17:25] <mka> delltechie, can you pastebin the command you executed and the output
[17:25] <Millo> to crack weps with bt4 have tohave a external networking card
[17:25] <Millo> ??
[17:25] <AllHailTheGeek> ...
[17:25] <AllHailTheGeek> Millo, go talk to the cops first.
[17:25] <AllHailTheGeek> =D
[17:25] <bazhang> Millo, wrong channel / server
[17:25] <macman_> mka, http://www.pastie.org/763262
[17:26] <OerHeks> Millo rtfm
[17:26] <usr13> Dr_Willis: Can't he just delete them and let it be created all over again?  (I'm mostly a KDE user and that's the way it works in KDE if you want to just go to defualts, just rm -rf .kde
[17:26] <bazhang> OerHeks, that is not needed or appropriate
[17:26] <ntr_> hey guys, pulling my hair out here trying to set up a higher screen resolution on Karmic
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> usr13:  yea. unless theres some settings he wants to save.
[17:26] <lwslws> macman_: try sudo fsck.ext3 /dev/sdc1
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> usr13:  same for kde. :) it sucks to lose your ktorrent settings
[17:26] <duffydack> how do I assign a cpu to a certain process
[17:26] <NamVet> Dr_Willis sounds ez if i knew what i was doing
[17:26] <theTroy> please, does anyone know about .Xauthority and how to get the file?
[17:26] <lwslws> macman_: sounds like you may have filesystem coruption, fsck fixes that
[17:26] <ctmjr> Millo: ask that question just like you did here in #remote-exploits
[17:27] <usr13> Dr_Willis: Well, I've mostly done that for others... :)
[17:27] <mka> macman_, pastebin "dmesg|tail"
[17:27] <Trizicus> When I use mount.cifs I have to specify IP address of node. When I use smbclient I can use WINS name. How can I get the IP address of the node?
[17:27] <AllHailTheGeek> ctmjr, lol
[17:27] <paulus68> mka: question I run on my server a dhcp, bind server and also iptables over 2 different IP ranges if I decide to do a new install, and I run my IPtable script + use the dhcp and bind files am I good to be operational after install or is that not possible?
[17:27] <macman_> ok here is the fsck command http://www.pastie.org/763265
[17:27] <qwerkus> Hello, has someone a link to a nice comprehensive tut/faq/howto on sound in Karmic ? It seems that a lot of work has been done here - unfortunately it doesn't work for me ?
[17:27] <macman_> let me get dmesg|Tail
[17:28] <usr13> Dr_Willis: I support a couple KDE desktops and one (my mother-in-law) is like a bull in a china closet!  :)
[17:28] <mka> paulus68, dude, I am a newbie!
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> Trizicus:  try the findsmb and smbtree commands.
[17:28] <paulus68> mka: ok no problem
[17:28] <macman_> dmesg|tail http://www.pastie.org/763266
[17:28] <Trizicus> Dr_Willis: Thanks
[17:28] <paulus68> Dr_Willis:  I run on my server a dhcp, bind server and also iptables over 2 different IP ranges if I decide to do a new install, and I run my IPtable script + use the dhcp and bind files am I good to be operational after install or is that not possible?
[17:29] <vadi01> how to save you tube videos on ubuntu? From command?
[17:29] <vadi01> any links?
[17:29] <Pici> !info youtube-dl
[17:29] <AllHailTheGeek> er...
[17:29] <AllHailTheGeek> well
[17:29] <bazhang> vadi01, youtube-dl -t url
[17:29] <lwslws> macman_: err.... looks like you have an encrypted drive there
[17:29] <duffydack> vadi01, just buffer the entire clip then copy the Flash file in /tmp   and rename it
[17:30] <AllHailTheGeek> lwslws, just found out it shows root directory files, but nothing in /home :(
[17:30] <macman_> how do i get around it .. my father in law used it for saving movies to the external hdd
[17:30] <vadi01> thanks!
[17:30] <ntr_> i know my graphics card can goto a higher resolution as it used to in windows.. I cant seem to get it working in karmic. However when I tried another graphics card it worked fine, but this card has just stopped working.. so now im stuck, any advice?
[17:30] <paulus68>  I run on my server a dhcp, bind server and also iptables over 2 different IP ranges if I decide to do a new install, and I run my IPtable script + use the dhcp and bind files am I good to be operational after install or is that not possible?
[17:30] <lwslws> macman_: the point is you CAN'T get around encryption, or we wouldn't do it ;)
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> paulus68:  thats out of my area of expertise.  I rarely have to mess with networking/bind/dhcp
[17:30] <Trizicus> Dr_Willis: smbtree extremely useful: thanks for that
[17:31] <lwslws> macman_: let me investigate those error messages further, though
[17:31] <Hammer89> is 9.04 still officially supported?
[17:31] <macman_> ok cool thanks also mka
[17:31] <Pici> Hammer89: Yes.
[17:31] <AllHailTheGeek> Isn't 9.04 LTS?
[17:31] <mka> lwslws, thanks for pointing that out to macman_, I was getting clueless
[17:31] <mka> macman_, no prob
[17:32] <Pici> AllHailTheGeek: No. 8.04 and 6.06 were LTS. and 10.04 will be too.
[17:32] <AllHailTheGeek> ah
[17:32] <usr13> vadi01:  ls -ltr /tmp # Look for Flash<what-ever>
[17:32] <AllHailTheGeek> so every 2 years
[17:32] <greenlynx> 8.04 is LTS
[17:33] <DVA5912> in ubuntu server, how do i obtain permison to modify files inside of /var/www?
[17:33] <Hammer89> Pici: Ah, good. Using 9.04 because 9.10 wasn't stable for me (no audio, regressions in 3D rendering)... hopefully 10.04 will be better...
[17:34] <lwslws> macman_: one last hope - try mount -t ntfs-3g $dev $mountpoint
[17:34] <macman_> i don't think its ntfs
[17:34] <macman_> but i will try
[17:34] <lwslws> macman_: google tells me that error message sometimes occurs in conjunction with NTFS drives
[17:34] <DVA5912> i did sudo adduser clint www-data... that should add me to the www-data group right?
[17:34] <lwslws> macman_: apart from that, try fsck'ing it, otherwise, give up
[17:34] <lwslws> ;)
[17:34] <ntr_> guess no1 knows how to help me then
[17:34] <B3rz3rk3r> Hammer89, with the current trend that is doubtful :p
[17:35] <elling_> youtube-dl -t "url" doesn't work. tried 4 videoes now.
[17:35] <lwslws> ntr_: please provide more information
[17:35] <ntr_> such as?
[17:35] <Hammer89> B3rz3rk3r: Heh. Why do you say that?
[17:35] <B3rz3rk3r> not that im a pessimist you understand ;)
[17:35] <ntr_> im pretty much a noob on desktop linux
[17:35] <lwslws> what kind of graphics card would be a nice start
[17:35] <usr13> DVA5912: sudo
[17:35] <macman_> lwslws,  ok cool .. yea no good
[17:35] <Freemind9> I'm using dosemu, and have to execute it with 'sudo dosemu' to be able to perform any write functions on the files in the drive_c that it sets up. In the File Browser, all of the files have a small picture of a lock added to the file icons.  What can I do to make dosemu run without requiring root access?
[17:35] <ntr_> it's on board, how do i find out?
[17:35] <macman_> meh this sucks
[17:35] <NamVet> Dr_Willis "NamVet:  you could move the broken users .gnome* and .gconf* directories somewhere"  Somewhere? Like to the desktop? FlashUSB?
[17:35] <lwslws> macman_: you're SOL, sorry ;)
[17:36] <lwslws> ntr : lspci
[17:36] <macman_> bah .. oh well i didn't like his movies anyway
[17:36] <macman_> :P
[17:36] <DVA5912> i noticed taht the files inside of www-data were set as root only... deleted them let me try again. usr13
[17:36] <lwslws> macman_: excellent choice
[17:36] <B3rz3rk3r> Hammer89, Basic things like you mentioned have been regressing since 8.10
[17:36] <usr13> DVA5912: What are you trying to do?
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  just another directory. like 'backups' or somthing
[17:36] <greenlynx> B3rz3rk3r, keep in mind 'the trend' is all developmental for the LTS releases .. lucid alpha is good
[17:36] <DVA5912> usr13, obtain access to the www-data directory from my account
[17:36] <DVA5912> i kep getting permision denitd
[17:36] <ntr_> 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NVCrush11 [GeForce2 MX Integrated Graphics] (rev
[17:37] <usr13> DVA5912: Why not just use sudo?
[17:37] <ntr_> old i know
[17:37] <paulus68> Dr_Willis: ok thanks
[17:37] <NamVet> Dr_Willis so I could create the directory back ups put them in there then reboot? Sounds ez enough
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  no neesd to 'reboot' thats windows training sneeking in.
[17:37] <DVA5912> usr13, because i dont want too!!! and i cant do that over ftp/ssh via my client
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> NamVet:  just log out/back in
[17:37] <usr13> DVA5912: But what are you serving there?  What is the end result of this project?
[17:37] <DVA5912> usr13, what does it matter
[17:38] <DVA5912> usr13, im not worried about security concerns.
[17:38] <Guillem_> I've upgraded to Karmic on my eee-901. There is no array.org kernel for Karmic. The Karmic kernel fails to hibernate. Can I get better kernel from eeebuntu or alike?
[17:38] <usr13> DVA5912: so you are ftping into the server?  It is not your server?
[17:38] <DVA5912> i am ftp yes, and yes its my server
[17:39] <NamVet> Dr_Willis Thanx, I'll give it a try. Later, and thanks also to you othrs for your input. Prolly be back soon. :)
[17:39] <lwslws> ntr_: have you tried installing the NVidia drivers?
[17:39] <usr13> DVA5912: I'm not understaning the situation completely, BUT, my advise is to create a user and symlink to the /var/www/htdocs/ or wherever and then when you ftp or ssh in as that user, you have full premissions to all that is there.  Much easier.
[17:39] <Xfact> He left me helpless :(
[17:40] <ntr_> lwslws, i remember when i first installed ubuntu, it asked if i wanted to install the nvidia drivers, but then it failed majorly after a reboot
[17:40] <usr13> DVA5912: In other words move the directory to a user directory and symlink it to /var/www/ or /var/www/htdocs or where ever you are serving from.
[17:40] <lwslws> ntr_: this might be stale, but http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nvidia
[17:40]  * ntr_ looks.. thanks
[17:40] <lwslws> ntr_: eep
[17:41] <ntr_> heh yeah
[17:41] <usr13> DVA5912: If you are not worried about server concerns you can just change permissions to all of it.
[17:41] <Tiders> If my time cached disk reads are 868 MB/s and my buffered reads are 102.35 MB/s Why is my FTp transfer speed locally only 20MB/s?
[17:41] <ntr_> lwslws, yeah that guide pretty much just tells you what ubuntu does when you first install
[17:41] <DVA5912> usr13, im gonig to do it another way. forget the ftp, il just ssh to the box. bypass it all

[17:42] <ntr_> been thru thousands of guides on google.. NONE worked
[17:42] <bazhang> HFSPLUS, wrong channel for that
[17:42] <usr13> DVA5912: sure ssh into it and do as you like. But as I said before, it might be easier in the long run to move the files to a user dir.
[17:42] <lwslws> ntr_: as a sidenote, do you know how to recover from that without having to reinstall all over again?
[17:43] <ntr_> ctrl, alt - f4 right?
[17:43] <ntr_> then delete the xorg.conf
[17:43] <lwslws> ntr_: yeah, do that, log in and kill /etc/X11/xorg.conf :)
[17:43] <ntr_> yup
[17:43] <paulus68> Dr_Willis: perhaps you can help me out with this puzzle I upgraded yesterday my server from 8.10 to 9.10 yesterday evening I had 100 gig available on a 500 gig disk about 2 hours ago no free space available how can I find out where this 100 gig went to?
[17:43] <lwslws> anyway, paste utput of lsmod | grep nv ?

[17:44] <Dr_Willis> paulus68:  yea like  lwslws  says. and i recall googling once for some commands to show what stuff was using the most space. Could be some logfile going crazy

[17:54] <paulus68> mka: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m34e6516a  is then the outcome mind you I am already running as root
[17:54] <ntr_> i did manage to get it working in Fedora, but the graphics was all screwed up
[17:54] <ctmjr> ntr_: what nvidia driver did you install?
[17:54] <ntr_> none, it don't seem to like it
[17:54] <dinghy> hi, how do i turn up my volume? :P its so low sound from my headset
[17:54] <ntr_> everytime I installed the one it told me at the start it messes up
[17:55] <dinghy> im playing from youtube

[17:57] <mka> dinghy, there is a volume icon on the gnome panel
[17:58] <dinghy> hm cant see
[17:58] <dinghy> is there a command to start it? :P
[17:58] <NamVet> What does the asterik mean Gnome*  ?
[17:58] <ghostknife> Anyone familiar with the kernel building system? How can I do incremental builds. I have to keep clean+build, because doing the build step by itself doesn't recompile changed files.
[17:58] <t1> gnome-volume-control dinghy
[17:59] <mka> paulus68, that is strange, can you pastebin, "df -h" as well?
[17:59] <ctmjr> ntr_: you need this driver for your card 96.43.14 it is a legacy driver you can see if apt has it by doing aptitude search nvidia or get it from nvidias website
[17:59] <ntr_> ctmjr, thanks a lot man, i'll have a look
[18:00] <paulus68> mka: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m31891553
[18:00] <ctmjr> ntr_: your welcome
[18:01] <dinghy> tl, what to search for in synaptic to get that
[18:01] <t1> It should be installed by default dinghy.
[18:01] <dinghy> it wasnt
[18:01] <dinghy> think i found it :D
[18:01] <NamVet> Can anyone tell me what the asterik means after this word? Gnome*
[18:02] <mka> paulus68, can you reboot quickly and come back and do a "df -h" again and see if it will still be the same?
[18:02] <paulus68> mka: ok hold on
[18:02] <t1> Well, that works. Otherwise I can find out what package it is.
[18:03] <dinghy> i found it tl and mka thanks very much for the help guys :D

[18:06] <jeffjeffdejeff> hi all. anyone able to help me get flash working on 9.04 64-bit?
[18:06] <binMonkey> hi, guys.  i've tried everything in the forums and google and i can't get my internal mic to work.  can you help me, please?
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> ctmjr:  aparently he also dident notice when i mentioned .gnome*   the . in the front. :)
[18:09] <meero> how to create user in chroot?
[18:09] <ghostknife> when I get a package's source, rebuild the .deb and install it, even though it's the same version number the update manager proposes to update it to a "new version", which is the one from the repositories
[18:09] <mezquita> i've a big problem :(
[18:10] <ghostknife> so, assume i have somepackage-1.0. I get it's source and build somepackage-1.0.deb. Now package manager wants to update to somepackage-1.0 from the repositories. why is this?
[18:10] <mezquita> My computer doesn't shutdown
[18:10] <ntr_> ctmjr, ok I downloaded a .run file from the nvida site for my card. What do I do with this now though?
[18:10] <Dr_Willis> jeffjeffdejeff:  i just use the 32bit flash in the repos on my 64bit machines and it works here.
[18:10] <dinghy> hmm im using a headset tl and mka , its higher, but still not high enuff ! :P heelp
[18:10] <ntr_> nvidia*
[18:10] <ghostknife> meero: what's available in your chroot? and what chroot is it?
[18:10] <trism> ghostknife: you should do a dch -i; in the source root before rebuilding the package (to increment the version)
[18:10] <meero> mezquita: mine to, im leaving it on all the time
[18:11] <jeffjeffdejeff> dr_willis: yeah? i just run synaptic and search flash?
[18:11] <mka> dinghy, on terminal type "alsamixer"
[18:11] <Dr_Willis> jeffjeffdejeff:  yes. or insall the ubuntu-restricted-extas package
[18:11] <Dr_Willis> !flash | jeffjeffdejeff
[18:11] <ghostknife> trism: does that physically increase the version. like 1.0 becomes 1.1 ? or what does it do exactly?
[18:11] <ctmjr> ntr_: you did not find it with aptitude?
[18:11] <paulus68_> mka: did that no change
[18:11] <Xfact> Dr_Willies: you were true...I have done mistake by doing advanced work with just few knowledge...my video driver totally messed up :(
[18:11] <mezquita> Halt or shutdown commands doesn't work
[18:11] <dinghy> haha ol school prog mka
[18:11] <dinghy> :D
[18:11] <ghostknife> trism: I don't have a dch command
[18:11] <Xfact> even worse then before
[18:12] <Tranz> happy new year to everyone! Best wishes
[18:12] <trism> ghostknife: generally when I do it, it appends ubuntuX to the end (so if it were ubuntu1 it would be ubuntu2)
[18:12] <emachnic_> mezquita, you try sudo shutdown now?
[18:12] <mka> paulus68, this is very very very strange
[18:12] <mezquita> yes
[18:12] <ghostknife> trism: what package contains dch? dpkg -S ?
[18:12] <trism> ghostknife: it is in devscripts
[18:12] <dinghy> tyeah, a little higher, but i could make it nicer in windows with this headset know what im saying? :P
[18:12] <t1> dinghy: alsamixer got it sorted for ya? :P
[18:12] <emachnic_> mezquita, what's the output?
[18:13] <Gorlist> Evening, I was thinking on installing the latest Virtualbox to run windowsXP - what is the performance like? was hoping to run a 3d cad program (modo - uses opengl))
[18:13] <meero> ghostknife: i created it by dchroot. i want to run there just rtorrent( low privilage user)
[18:13] <ntr_> ctmjr, nope
[18:13] <jeffjeffdejeff> dr_willis: that's all i do? click on that link?! :o
[18:13] <Dr_Willis> jeffjeffdejeff:  read the url perhaps? install the ubuntu-restricted-exras package also will proberly grab all the flash stuff you need.
[18:13] <ghostknife> meero: create the user outside chroot then. change to it, and run the chroot as this user
[18:13] <ctmjr> ntr_: are you using gnome?
[18:13] <mezquita> Stopping swap [ok]
[18:13] <ntr_> yup
[18:14] <mezquita> and computer hang
[18:14] <paulus68_> mka: that's what I think to so I would realy like to burn the new server iso and safe my config files for Ip tables and network configs and try again however would not like to get stuck in the process
[18:14] <mezquita> but i can restart it
[18:14] <ghostknife> mezquita: optionally you can copy /etc/passwd to the chroot, and delete all lines except for that user. this will help the command to resolve a UID to username
[18:14] <emachnic_> Gorlist, depends on the computer. I've used VirtualBox on Linux with WinXP and at full screen, couldn't tell it was virtual
[18:14] <dinghy> tl, hm not really made it higher but bad quality? any more options ? :P

[18:17] <Dr_Willis> skeletal:  depends on exactly what you are wanting to do. MAME runs MAME roms - which include many negeo games. theres also mess,  and proberly other emulators out there as well
[18:17] <Dr_Willis> !info xmess
[18:17] <ghostknife> meero: su <user> -c "<command>" # runs <command> as <user>

[18:19] <Fitz11> mka can you help me
[18:19] <skeletal> I have tried with wine. Dosn't support it.
[18:19] <t1> dinghy: Not really off the top of my head, really, probably some tweaking to be done with the card somewhere; used to have that issue with my internal. Searching the community docs or the forum for your sound card + "low volume" oughta help.

[18:23] <sharpen047> has anyone gotten iphone usb tethering to work on ubuntu? i tried itunnel but cant get it to work
[18:23] <meero> ghostknife: i have some problems with ubuntu server stability too, trying to figure out why, and whats is happening
[18:23] <hikenboot> what encryption method does ubuntu use during its installer dm_crypt luks or other?
[18:23] <ghostknife> binMonkey: what card?
[18:23] <binMonkey> ghostknife: lol.  i've been at it about five hours now.
[18:23] <binMonkey> ghostknife: it's an intel hda card.
[18:24] <ghostknife> binMonkey: thought so ;>
[18:24] <ghostknife> binMonkey: VAIO ?
[18:24] <mka> paulus68, ok, first "cd /" then "sudo find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sudo du -sh "
[18:24] <binMonkey> ghostknife: no, it's an hp.
[18:24] <meero> ghostknife: i have : rtorrent:x:1004:1004::/var/chroot/home/rtorrent:/var/chroot/bin/sh in passwd, but when i login, it doesnt put me to chroot, do u know why it might happen?
[18:25] <ctmjr> ntr_: ok just making sure you did not download the new driver
[18:25] <ghostknife> meero: it won't put you into chroot when you log in
[18:25] <ghostknife> meero: you have to run the chroot command as that user
[18:26] <ntr_> erm.. i think that is the new driver.. it was released on 16th of Dec
[18:26] <quesada> running an geForce 8400M GS, proprietary nvidia driver 185. metacity is very slow. Here's the log: http://pastebin.com/m53e3d3fa
[18:26] <lwslws> ntr_: there's your problem
[18:26] <ctmjr> ntr_: this is the driver you want http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_96.43.14.html
[18:26] <ghostknife> binMonkey: google for "vaio microphone" as well. found quite a few entries with proposed fixes. looks promising, haven't tried it yet
[18:26] <meero> ghostknife: ok, help me pls with this one thing .... how to install rtorrent in chroot enviroment
[18:26] <lwslws> ntr_: new driver does *not* work with your card ;)
[18:26] <ntr_> :P
[18:26] <quesada> looks like dri and dri2 modules are not loaded. This happens in ubuntu 9.10 too (pastebin is my lappy sabayon). any idea how to fix this?
[18:26] <lwslws> ain't progress grand?
[18:26] <ghostknife> binMonkey: most of them also have the snd-hda-intel modules for the mic
[18:26] <ntr_> i didnt install this one i downloaded.. couldnt work out how :(
[18:27] <ghostknife> binMonkey: for interest sake, which chipset do you have?
[18:27] <ghostknife> binMonkey: ICH5/6/7/8/9 ?
[18:27] <lwslws> and, bedtime (0427 local time here) - night all
[18:27] <ntr_> but yeah the one ubuntu wants me to install at install is the new one i guess
[18:27] <ntr_> night lwslws thanks for ya help :)
[18:27] <binMonkey> ghostknife: let me find that again.  hold on.
[18:27] <sol10> lwslws: Sleep well
[18:27] <mka> paulus68, but you will be unable to scroll backward, you can insert "|pg" or "|less" to page the output or "> ~/myfile.txt" to redirect to a file
[18:28] <ghostknife> binMonkey: just check lspci
[18:28] <binMonkey> ghostknife: i'm using ich9.
[18:28] <ntr_> ok its downloading, what do i do with the .run file after though ctmjr ?
[18:29] <binMonkey> ghostknife: i tried keeping notes.  but now they're all a mess.
[18:29] <ghostknife> binMonkey: sorry
[18:29] <ghostknife> binMonkey: the older versions seem to be easier to fix
[18:30] <ctmjr> ntr_: are you on the computer you are trying to install the driver to
[18:30] <Supersaiyan_IV> quesada, try the latest beta, there's 30% 2D acceleration improvement
[18:30] <ghostknife> binMonkey: but look around. google snd_hda_intel or hda_intel or snd-hda-intel etc. with microphone or mic. there was quite a few fixes for the lower versions. might help for you
[18:30] <ntr_> yup
[18:30] <binMonkey> ghostknife: lol.  dang, i knew 9 was bad.
[18:30] <binMonkey> ghostknife: thanks a lot for pointing me somewhere!!!  :)
[18:31] <deviad> Can anyone pls check this sort of "conflict": http://pastebin.com/m4e7d4d9d. udev renames network interface eth1 into eth2
[18:31] <deviad> why?
[18:31] <ghostknife> binMonkey: let me know if you fix it
[18:31] <CarlosGong> test
[18:31] <_scavenger_> deviad: Maybe eth1 isn't availible?
[18:31] <paulus68_> mka: that doesn't change much getting the same error as before  however when I sudo du -kshc /.* I get this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m64e3fa1b will not work still gets stuk on the usr/bin
[18:31] <binMonkey> ghostknife: will do.
[18:31] <deviad> _scavenger_, I have nothing on eth1
[18:31] <_scavenger_> deviad: Are you sure?
[18:31] <deviad> yes, 100%
[18:32] <deviad> If I run ifconfig -a I cannot see anything labeled as eth1
[18:32] <owen1_> i try to install a driver and it ask me for my root password. i don't think ubuntu has one by default. how to create one?
[18:32] <ctmjr> owen1_: use sudo
[18:32] <mka> paulus68_, please paste HERE the command you executed that did not work
[18:33] <zamba> my vlc doesn't have support for the mpeg aac audio.. i guess this is related to licencing terms.. how can i get a version of ffmpeg that has this support, without recompiling myself?
[18:33] <llutz> deviad: delete /etc/udev/rules.d/XXX-persistent-net.rules
[18:33] <ctmjr> !root | owen1_
[18:33] <yann_> bonjour, et bonne année,quelqu'un parle francais ?
[18:33] <mka> deviad, did you copy your ubuntu installation from another machine?
[18:33] <pac1> When I try to look at "removable" media i get "unable to mount" "authentication is required".  Checked google, but no clues there except references to ntfs-config.  These are not ntfs partitiions.   Anyone know a link that explains what is really happening?
[18:33] <mka> deviad, do as llutz said, it works
[18:33] <Izinucs> owen1_: when installing use sudo for those things that need a root password.. so .. sudo <package to install>
[18:33] <_scavenger_> deviad: I googled a bit; could you try this: http://www.pubbs.net/fedora/200911/48043/ ?
[18:33] <paulus68_> mka: sudo find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sudo du -sh|pg>>check.txt
[18:34] <emachnic_> yann_, petit francais
[18:34] <yann_> vi
[18:34] <usr13> deviad: I see eth1 in http://pastebin.com/m4e7d4d9d
[18:34] <mka> paulus68_, that is a wront command
[18:34] <yann_> j'avais une question à poser
[18:34] <MASARUwota> !fr|yann_
[18:34] <emachnic_> yann_ d'accord
[18:35] <mka> paulus68_, first "cd /"  then "sudo find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sudo du -sh | pg"
[18:35] <owen1_> Izinucs: the driver i install ask for root password. not superuser password, i guess.
[18:35] <yann_> oui ok mais comment faire ?
[18:35] <MASARUwota> !fr|emachnic_
[18:35] <deviad> usr13, and the same network card, broadcom etc. etc., is labeled a while later as eth2
[18:35] <Izinucs> owen1_: same
[18:35] <deviad> it's always the same card
[18:35] <owen1_> Izinucs: i need to set root password, since ubuntu don't come with it by default
[18:35] <mka> paulus68_, you need to press ENTER to view the next page
[18:35] <emachnic_> Sorry
[18:35] <usr13> deviad: ifconfig eth0 ; ifconfig eth1
[18:35] <Izinucs> owen1_: what are you installing
[18:35] <owen1_> Izinucs: dell printer driver
[18:35] <mka> paulus68_, if you are not familiar with pg you can use "less"
[18:35] <deviad> mka, I installed from the "live cd"
[18:36] <usr13> But try what llutz said.
[18:36] <paulus68_> mka:  ok
[18:36] <deviad> since the "slick installation" didn't work. I had to use the "try and see" menu entry
[18:36] <adi_> 14
[18:36] <Izinucs> owen1_: you don't need a "root" password for that.. sudo will work fine.. their instructions mentions root but sudo works..
[18:36] <deviad> then I clicked on the installer and I installed ubuntu this way on my macbook pro
[18:36] <owen1_> Izinucs: i thought its the same, but it's not let me install it if i type the super user password. i guess super user is not root.
[18:37] <adi_> wolf14
[18:37] <deviad> usr13, if I run ifconfig eth1 it says "device not found"
[18:37] <mka> deviad, did you do what llutz said, erasing the contents of the persistent udev net files (and cd files if you want)
[18:37] <Izinucs> owen1_: you're doing something wrong.. is this a linux driver? which printer is it?
[18:37] <NamVet> Dr_Willis sez, " you could move the broken users .gnome* and .gconf* directories somewhere, then login as that user. and it should 'reset' your gnome settings back to defaults" Confused does gnome* mean all gnome files or just the broken ones? If just the broken ones, how do I tell which are the broken ones? Sry for being a pain.
[18:37] <owen1_> Izinucs: let me try running their sh file with sudo. 1 sec
[18:38] <Xfact> hey....
[18:38] <Izinucs> owen1_: if it's a sh file then yes.. sudo sh <filename.sh>
[18:38] <Xfact> learnd manything
[18:38] <mka> deviad, I know this problem it has been happening to me a lot
[18:38] <adi_> kony
[18:38] <ctmjr> ntr_: when it is done downloading you need to go into a tty but pressing the ctrl+alt+f1 keys this will bring you to the terminal tty1 then run this sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop then run the nvidia installer sudo sh ./name of driver.run when it is done reboot the computer
[18:38] <owen1_> Izinucs: interesting, so what's up with this root account? is it different than superuser? and why it has no password?
[18:39] <ctmjr> *but/by
[18:39] <ubuntu__> hii
[18:39] <Izinucs> owen1_: it's the way it's done with ubuntu.. sudo gives you temporary root priviliges.. it's a security measure
[18:40] <deviad> _scavenger_, I'm going to reboot to see if that method works. Instead of removing that line from the file I have just commented it out.
[18:40] <Fitz11> can anbdoy help me with getting alien areana to work on my 1ov
[18:40] <_scavenger_> deviad: Good idea.
[18:40] <paulus68_> mka: everything stays at 0 at the beginning of each line
[18:41] <NamVet> Happy New Year all. I'll try moving the directories. GOODBYE
[18:41] <paulus68_> mka: can't export it to a file since the output is to long
[18:42] <_raven_> GPODDER: "sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file" - anything possible to rescue?
[18:43] <mka> paulus68_, try this "cd /"  then "sudo find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sudo du -sh > ~/file.txt" and then pastebin the contents of "~/file.txt"
[18:45] <usr13> mka: Or:  sudo find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sudo du -sh | pastebinit
[18:46] <mka> wow, thanks! paulus68_ do as usr13 as suggested
[18:47] <paulus68_> usr13: pastebinit not found
[18:47] <adi_> wolf45
[18:47] <usr13> paulus68_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[18:48] <usr13> paulus68_: mka But it's still going to be a whole lot of output.
[18:48] <Fezzler> Will wine work with an audio app?  I can get wincfg to successfull emitt sound via Test (ALSA and JACKD drivers) but the app doesn't work
[18:48] <paulus68_> usr13: couldn't find package pastebinit
[18:48] <Xfact> in ubuntu for specific sound card any specific software needed or ALSA driver controls everything???
[18:48] <ntr_> urgh
[18:49] <sol10> paulus68_: he probably meant you should pastebin the output of the given command.
[18:49] <usr13> paulus68_: How is your internet connection?
[18:49] <paulus68_> usr13: good
[18:49] <ctmjr> ntr_: still does not work?
[18:49] <ntr_> ctmjr, the driver installed fine, but now the screens all weird,
[18:49] <usr13> Well, I don't know.  Just do it as mka said.  Never mind.
[18:49] <paulus68_> usr13: otherwhise I couldn't connect to chat
[18:49] <edbian> Xfact, Linux is fundamentally different than windows in that the drivers are part of the kernel.  alsa's goal is to work on any soundcard it might come across.  It may or may not work (it probably will)
[18:50] <mka> usr13, I know, i don't think we have any other choice, we are tracking all the files in the filesystem, wait, maybe there is another choice ....??
[18:50] <ntr_> like in here im seeing some lines about 10 times
[18:50] <trism> mka: what are you trying to do with that command exactly?
[18:50] <Xfact> edbian:ohh...yes it's totally different then windows!
[18:51] <jefinc> is there a way to have my "Ubuntu Software Centre" sort by popularity like in Jaunty?
[18:51] <edbian> Xfact, Yeah, have you tested your sound card??
[18:51] <ADmad> guys what swap partition size do you recommend for a system with 4gb ram?  i am a web developer so in most case i would be running a web server, an ide, couple of web browser, and few small applications at a time
[18:51] <usr13> !pastebinit > paulus68_
[18:51] <nero_> hi
[18:51] <paulus68_> mka: where does it store the ~file.txt
[18:51] <Xfact> edbian: yes...but all line out jack doesn't working...
[18:52] <mka> trism, usr13 the hard drive of paulus68_ is about 500GB and it shows 98% usage but he cannot locate the file using his hdd space
[18:52] <usr13> mka: O  just a sec..
[18:52] <edbian> ADmad, The rule of thumb used to be 2 x your ram.  It is a topic that is hotly debated.  I think that 1GB is pretty much perfect for anybody.  I'll find a reference article online hang on...
[18:52] <trism> mka: why not something like du / | sort -nr > ~/usage.txt?
[18:52] <ntr_> ctmjr, maybe i need even older drivers? lol
[18:53] <nero_> have you seen stalker?
[18:53] <mka> paulus68_, it's not ~file.txt it
[18:53] <mka> paulus68_, it's not ~file.txt its file.txt in ~
[18:53] <urthmover> Is anyone in the US having trouble with the Software Sources servers right now?
[18:53] <paulus68_> mka:  ok
[18:53] <usr13> paulus68_: mka du -sk * | sort -n  #will list by file sizes, largest last
[18:53] <edbian> ADmad, This seems pretty good: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-swap-space.html
[18:53] <mka> paulus68_, gedit ~/file.txt
[18:54] <ADmad> edbian: yeah i know the rule of thumb but i think its a bit outdated in current scenario where PCs have such large memories
[18:54] <usr13> paulus68_: mka   ls -lS |grep ^d   #will show directories sorted by size
[18:54] <llutz> edbian: that swap=2xram rule was made 10 yrs ago, pointless today
[18:54] <Xfact> but one thing of ubuntu is very irritating...it has limitation of software versions or usage with it's every version, that windows doesn't have...all most all software supports all versions....
[18:54] <edbian> ADmad, That is exactly what the article says
[18:54] <edbian> llutz,  yeah
[18:54] <ADmad> edbian: i will read up.. thank you
[18:54] <whowhat> wow this server is big
[18:54] <edbian> ADmad, No problem
[18:55] <mka> trism, hmmm, that's better I think, stupid me, I usually think of "du" with the "-s" option because I made an alias like that
[18:55] <ctmjr> ntr_: it should have worked try running this in a terminal and then reboot again or restart X    sudo nvidia-xconfig --force-generate
[18:55] <edbian> Xfact, Nothing stops you from grabbing source code for any program you want and compiling any version your heart contents (although trusting the repos is strongly recommended)
[18:55] <canthus13> whowhat: True.  Most aren't actively chatting, though.. thankfully.
[18:55] <adi_> tech..
[18:55] <ntr_> try running what? sorry im having a hard time seeing
[18:55] <paulus68_> mka: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6586d1b
[18:56] <whowhat> say. rrrr. i hope it will rejoin atuomticaly after i close mirc
[18:56] <mka> paulus68_, here we go
[18:56] <unop> usr13, except the directory size reported by ls is not the true size :)
[18:56] <ctmjr> ntr_: sudo nvidia-xconfig --force-generate
[18:57] <k-train> anyone on know much about ekiga?
[18:57] <mka> paulus68_, but this does not work, we tried it already
[18:57] <whowhat> ekiga?
[18:57] <mka> paulus68_, where are the contents of the file.txt file?
[18:57] <ntr_> ctmjr, ok i run that, and gonna login here whilst i reboot
[18:58] <whowhat> so this is the server of the elite folks?
[18:58] <canthus13> whowhat: Elite? No.  Just helpful people. this is a support channel.
[18:58] <mneptok> !offtopic > whowhat
[18:58] <usr13> paulus68_: mka   unop:  ls -lSr |grep ^d   #Will show loagest directories last.
[18:59] <canthus13> whowhat: And Ekiga is a Voip client, sort of an open-source version of Skype.
[18:59] <mneptok> usr13: just use du
[18:59] <usr13> paulus68_: mka   unop:  ls -lS |grep ^d   #Will show loagest directories first.
[18:59] <edbian> whowhat, ha ha What do you mean the server of the elite?
[18:59] <ali_> hello
[18:59] <canthus13> whowhat: http://ekiga.org
[18:59] <usr13> mneptok: ls is faster
[18:59] <edbian> ali_, hi
[18:59] <mneptok> *blink*
[18:59] <whowhat> what is ubottu?
[18:59] <unop> usr13, that's not true at all - you can have an empty directory with a size that is not reflective of it being empty
[18:59] <k-train> i'm running ubuntu 9.10 64 and i can't make a test call
[18:59] <whowhat> ubuntu?
[19:00] <paulus68_> mka: usr13:http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/mf4ac825
[19:00] <canthus13> whowhat: Linux.  see http://www.ubuntu.com/
[19:00] <mka> usr13, please be explicit, we don't want directories at high level (/),
[19:00] <edbian> whowhat, It is an operating system based on the open source linux kernel.
[19:00] <nero_> how do i get my wireless to work in ubuntu 9.10 ateros board?
[19:00] <ntr__> ctmjr: nope exactly the same :(
[19:00] <usr13> mka: unop du -sk * | sort -n
[19:01] <clayasaurus_> dreadmoon.com ubuntu based distro for game developers
[19:01] <canthus13> whowhat: you might want to check out #ubuntu-beginners-help for the really basic stuff.  It's slower paced, less confusing.
[19:01] <k-train> I've tried 3.2.6 and 3.2.5 in the repos, but neither work.
[19:01] <sharpen047> can someone help me with some ad-hoc network stuff please?
[19:02] <paulus68_> usr13: :mka: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6586d1b
[19:02] <usr13> sharpen047: What do you need?
[19:02] <mka> usr13, paulus68_ is "unop" a command?
[19:02] <usr13> mka: no
[19:02] <mka> usr13, paulus68_ we have been doing one command over and over
[19:02] <unop> mka, i'm unop and i'm not a command :)
[19:03] <paulus68_> usr13: what do you think of the last pastebin?
[19:03] <usr13> paulus68_: ls /media
[19:03] <k-train> What type of information regarding my ekiga setup/hardware can i give to help out?
[19:03] <mka> unop, oh, sorry
[19:03] <usr13> paulus68_: ls -ltr /media
[19:03] <jMyles> How can I list all the open ports in iptables?
[19:04] <usr13> jMyles: iptables does not have open ports.
[19:04] <edbian> jMyles, you can list all of your iptables rules by "sudo iptables -L"  if you don't have a rule to block a port than it is open.
[19:04] <mka> usr13, paulus68_ , unop , there are mount points in media so discard it
[19:04] <paulus68_> usr13: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m716c45a
[19:04] <sharpen047> does anyone know how to create an ad-hoc network?
[19:04] <jMyles> edbian, usr13: ahh, ok :-)  thanks
[19:04] <llutz> edbian: a port would only be "open" if a process listens on it
[19:04] <edbian> jMyles, No problem
[19:05] <edbian> llutz, I think the definition of open is sort of fuzzy.  In my mind it could be open with nothing responding on it.
[19:05] <usr13> jMyles: What you probably want is: netstat -tunlp
[19:05] <paulus68_> mka:usr13: media the folder for my mountpoints that's correct
[19:05] <edbian> llutz, Simply because nothing has closed the port.
[19:06] <mka> sharpen047, sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "blah" mode ad-hoc key off freq 2.422G ?
[19:06] <llutz> edbian: you cannot reach a port, nothing listens on, so its not open
[19:06] <edbian> llutz, In the formal sense, yeah you're right
[19:06] <Dr_Willis> Open = Not closed/blocked..  avail for ussage. :)
[19:06] <sharpen047> mka, ill try that brb
[19:07] <Dr_Willis> Shelds Up Website says all my ports are 'stealthed' :) Im so Leet.
[19:07] <mka> paulus68_, I am still patiently waiting for that "~/file.txt"
[19:07] <Fezzler> If attempting to use Jackd driver with wine.  Do I select Jackd driver in wincfg before or after starting Jackd?
[19:07] <paulus68_> usr13: question if I safe my config files for bind dhcp iptables and network and I do a fresh install of server 9.10 copy them over is that good enough to be operational afterwards or is this wishfull thinking
[19:08] <usr13> paulus68_: Do you have some sort of backup system running?
[19:08] <ctmjr> ntr_: your driver is corrupt for some reason can you paste your /var/Xorg.0.log
[19:08] <paulus68_> usr13: I do yes but this is in the middle of the night
[19:09] <ntr__> ctmjr: sure 1sec, just rebooting
[19:09] <paulus68_> mka:  when trying to run and safe to file I get still the error as before unable to execute /usr/bin/du: Argument list too long
[19:09] <usr13> paulus68_: What is /media/windows and /media/windows1 and /media/backup and /media/backup1 and media/backup2 ?
[19:09] <phaktor> Is there an issue with programs running on 9.10 locking up?
[19:09] <ntr__> !pastebin > ntr__
[19:10] <Dr_Willis> phaktor:  not that ive seen/noticed/heard of.
[19:10] <canthus13> phaktor: None that I've encountered.

[19:10]  * Dr_Willis waits for phaktor 's real question.
[19:10] <usr13> paulus68_: And where is it going to?  Is there really some devices conected there and that those are just mount points for them?  Or is it going to actual directories that reside on your HD?
[19:10] <Tiders> How can I install ttcp on Ubuntu
[19:10] <mka> paulus68_, and "cd /" and "sudo find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sudo du -sh | pastebinit" ?
[19:10] <Dr_Willis> !info ttcp
[19:10] <paulus68_> usr13: media windows and windows 1 are window programs backup one is the only correct one
[19:11] <paulus68_> mka:  identical problem
[19:11] <urthmover> Is ubuntu planning on integrating a system wide audio equalizer for pulseaudio?
[19:11] <mka> sharpen047, what do you want to achieve again, an ad-hoc wireless network between 2 computers?
[19:11] <usr13> paulus68_: If those directories do not point to mounted external media, it is just writing to your hard drive and filling it up.
[19:11] <phaktor> Dr_Willis: I've upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 to 9.10 (all in one night) and now programs like holotz's castle and other games lock when closing,
[19:11] <Dr_Willis> urthmover:  i saw one available for download..
[19:11] <trix`G> Can I config grub to load a mounted DVD iso image off of my hard drive and boot from it as if it was a real DVD?
[19:11] <MorphyNOR> urthmover: there is one already
[19:11] <trix`G> Oh and happy 2010 everyone!
[19:12] <paulus68_> usr13: let me check
[19:12] <urthmover> MorphyNOR: do you have a PPA or url for it?
[19:12] <sharpen047> mka im trying to tether my iphone to my laptop, itunnel doesnt work and i dont have bluetooth so my only other option is wifi, and i cant seem to get adhoc up..
[19:12] <usr13> paulus68_: That is more than likely your problem.

[19:13] <canthus13> it's in the repos.
[19:13] <paulus68_> usr13: question if a server can't find the original mountpoint of a external hard drive does it create one within media and store the data there?
[19:14] <mka> usr13, paulus68_ yes you have a point there usr13 or maybe paulus68_ should umount all the /media mounted partitions and check if ever those mount points are empty?
[19:14] <sharpen047> mka ive been looking in on this for about two months now and i know my phone is fine because i tried it on the same computer but on windows xp
[19:14] <mka> sharpen047, iphone? goodluck!
[19:15] <usr13> jMyles: I do not know what backup system you are using so I  have no idea what it is doing, (or not doing).  But as I said, it may very well be that it just keeps creating directories in /media and copying files to them.
[19:15] <deviad> Has anyone installed the latest nvidia drivers 195 (If I recall properly)? Are there any improvements over version 185?
[19:15] <mka> sharpen047, the iphone and your cellphone should be in the same subnet
[19:15] <jMyles> usr13: looks like you meant that message for paulus68_
[19:15] <usr13> paulus68_: I do not know what backup system you are using so I  have no idea what it is doing, (or not doing).  But as I said, it may very well be that it just keeps creating directories in /media and copying files to them.
[19:15] <usr13> jMyles: Sorry.  You are correct.
[19:15] <sharpen047> mka, lol? all i need to do is create an ad-hoc network on my laptop and i can probably get it from there but it seems like its broken or something
[19:16] <mka> sharpen047, check the ip address of your iphone and then set that your pc to be very similar to that of your iphone
[19:16] <sharpen047_> Mka what do you mean
[19:16] <mka> sharpen047, how does you iphone get an ip address, can you set it or it has to acquire it form a dhcp server?
[19:17] <Snump> I'm trying to isntall the drivers for the Radeon 1250 on 9.10.  I tried installing slrx foa apt get but I still can't get the correct resolution on my screen.
[19:17] <Snump> foa=via
[19:17] <sharpen047> Mka I use the program on the phone. I just need the phone to see the adhoc network
[19:17] <mka> sharpen047, the ideal situation is if you can set you iphone ip address to something like 10.11.12.1 and then your pc to 10.11.12.2
[19:17] <bigdavjoker> I keep having problems with Sun VirtualBox crashes as sooon as I try and install a new VM.  I can configure everything fine but as soon as it tries to boot the guest OS the entire machine freezes and i have to hard reset
[19:18] <sharpen047> Mka the program is pdanet. It takes care of ips
[19:18] <usr13>  sharpen047 Make sure your Wireless router is boradcasting essid.
[19:18] <Snump> 1hmm...
[19:18] <mka> sharpen047, it does not help for it to see the network, if there is no dhcp server, it will not be  able to connet to it even if you can see it
[19:18] <sharpen047> usr13: My router? Haha I'm trying adhoc
[19:19] <usr13> sharpen047: O
[19:19] <sharpen047> Mka ok then I'll set the adhoc to dhcp
[19:19] <rayo> hi, i installed the daily lucid ubuntu and i'm trying to build my own kernel, the kernel is able to boot, after kernel init, it terminates the boot process. (init: mountall main process (86) killed by SEGV signal \n General error mounting filesystems) after the message the maintenance shell is launched. can someone give me a hint what it could be?
[19:19] <jarray52> Ubuntu hard freezes whenever a USB flash drive is plugged in. What could cause this?
[19:19] <ntr__> ctmjr: http://evonykillaz.info/Xorg.0.log
[19:19] <ntr__> sorry is the only way ui could do it
[19:19] <usr13> sharpen047: ad-hoc mode does not broadcast essid (as far as I know), so you will need to set essid manually.
[19:20] <mka> sharpen047, ?? ok, then that command I have you it's enough
[19:20] <usr13> sharpen047: ... on both ends.
[19:20] <ntr__> ctmjr: X keeps restarting now everytime I load Firefox
[19:20] <webbb82> last night i was trying to install ubuntu along with my window install for a dual boot setup, but the partition part of the install wouldnt let me pick my unalocated diskspace to install ubuntu on so now im stuck with 200 gbs of unallocated hard drive that i dunno what to do with any one got any ideas
[19:21] <sharpen047> usr13: I try to create the adhoc with channel Essid key off etc.. It doesn't change
[19:21] <|sanchez|> Hey I just upgraded my netbook to ubuntu 9.10 x86 and noticed that /boot/grub has no menu.lst as the prior installs did... was there an upgrade to grub in ubuntu 9.10?
[19:21] <usr13> sharpen047: man iwconfig
[19:21] <sharpen047> Mka that command doesn't change settings of iwcpnfig output
[19:22] <burzki> !grub2 | |sanchez|
[19:22] <mka> sharpen047, do as usr13 is suggesting
[19:22] <sharpen047> usr13: I know how to use it I have mka helping and his command didn't work either
[19:22] <|sanchez|> thanks burzki :)
[19:22] <usr13> sharpen047: iwconfig eth0 essid sharp  #where eth0 is the actual wireless NIC and sharp is the deisred essid.
[19:22] <|sanchez|> wana get my backtrack partition back into grub and was surprised when i didnt see menu.lst in there
[19:22] <mka> sharpen047, sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "blah" mode ad-hoc key off freq 2.422G ?
[19:23] <mka> sharpen047, maybe remove the key and freq options for now
[19:23] <burzki> haven't done anything w/ it, non issue for me.  just know its there
[19:23] <sharpen047> usr13: Again I know how to use the command, the essid of iwcpnfig is unassociated
[19:23] <Dr_Willis> |sanchez|:  thats odd.. I was thinking a 'upgrade' would keep grub1 and thus keep the menu.lst file.
[19:24] <sharpen047> Iwconfig* iPhone autocorrect haha
[19:24] <usr13> sharpen047: iwconfig eth0 essid sharp mode ad-hoc ; ifconfig eth0 10.1.1.3
[19:24] <saurabh> hello
[19:24] <Dr_Willis> |sanchez|:  with grub2 the 'update-grub' command  for me has seen/setup the other ubuntu linux installs ive had on this system
[19:24] <usr13> sharpen047:  something like that ^^^
[19:25] <webbb82> when i put in the ubuntu install cd i dont get the option to install them side by side or install it to unused diskspace just says remove everything and install ubunutu
[19:25] <webbb82> how do i install it to unallocated disk space
[19:25] <mka> sharpen047, ahhaaaaa, now, how is the iPhone going to detect that static ip address, usr13 ?
[19:25] <usr13> sharpen047: Well, I only know Linux, not Iphone.  Sorry I can't help you there.  (You'll have to talk to my son, he has an Iphone, I only have a blackberry :)
[19:26] <sharpen047> usr13:  so did they change that recently? I used to be able to type Sudo iwconfig eth1 essid adhocnet and it would set the essid to adhocnet without anything else
[19:26] <DasEi> How do I get the trigger for a hd when it's mounted ? (I want to run a script once I manually mount a hd )
[19:26] <dj_> hey guys i have usb driver memory that i bought its 2gb, now when i open it it shows just 999mb and there are no files on it
[19:26] <sharpen047> usr13: Nah I know how to get it to work I have already done it on my windows partition
[19:26] <usr13> sharpen047: You are correct, that should [still] work.
[19:27] <deviad> Is there anything like skim for gnome?
[19:27] <DasEi> dj_: what does sudo fdisk -l say about it ?
[19:27] <sharpen047> usr13:  that's why I'm trying to say. That command doesn't change my essid
[19:27] <usr13> sharpen047: well, when you figure it out, let the rest of us know, (I'm clueless).
[19:27] <sharpen047> It's like it doesn't work
[19:27] <paulus68_> usr13: can you give me your thoughts on this question if I copy my config files for dhcp/bind/iptables to another computer do a complete reinstall of my server but these files back would I be able to surf directly afterwards or not?
[19:27] <ZystemFryar> Gooday, is there a painless way to allow multiple users to use the same Ubuntu system Simultaneously (via VNC or RDP) Kind of like how Remote Desktop works on Windows Server 2003+
[19:28] <usr13> sharpen047: Are you using the right interface name for your wireless NIC?
[19:28] <dj_> DasEi:http://www.pastebin.ca/1734290
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> ZystemFryar:  is theres a problem with using vnc? or they could use 'xming' and have  linux programs appearing on their windows desktop.
[19:28] <sharpen047> usr13: Haha ok thanks for the help usr13  and mka and yes it's the only wifi card I have plugged in ATM I'll be right back. Gunna try my last thought here
[19:28] <mka> usr13, what if sharpen047 brings the interface down and apply the iwconfig settings and bring it up afterwards?
[19:29] <DasEi> ZystemFryar: man adduser, addgroup
[19:29] <Dr_Willis> ZystemFryar:  also 'cygwin' just released a new version that could be used for a similer method to the xming way.
[19:29] <ZystemFryar> DasEi, User added.. and what not.
[19:29] <annak> olá
[19:30] <Dr_Willis> ZystemFryar:  then theres 'freenx' :)
[19:30] <annak> tudo bom?? preciso de uma ajudinha
[19:30] <ZystemFryar> Dr_Willis: Basically, What I want is One person to be able to log in via VNC or other method and use the Machine, But not disconnect the Local user.
[19:30] <usr13> mka: He's gone now... but yea, it could be that he was using it to connect to the internet, I did not ask him that.
[19:30] <DasEi> dj_: run gparted and format the unallocated space
[19:30] <MorphyNOR> ZystemFryar: use NX server
[19:30] <burzki> webbb82, you have to select the manual partition option
[19:31] <ZystemFryar> MorphyNOR / Dr_Willis : will look at NX & freenx :)
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> ZystemFryar:  You may be confused about vnc. :) you CAN have several  vnc 'desktop' sessions that are 'hidden' the 'viewing the current local desktop' is just ONE of vnc's features.
[19:31] <usr13> paulus68_: What kind of server is this?  (I'm not so sure you can't just fix what you have)
[19:31] <dj_> DasEi:dunno how to run gparted
[19:31] <DasEi> ZystemFryar: then use ssh with forwarded x, can define how many connections are allowed
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> ZystemFryar:  a user could ssh in, run 'vncserver' and make their own desktop. then connect to it via a vncviewer. You could do this with a dozen  users.
[19:31] <alabd> hello , what is  "192.168.0.0/24" for in this command ? > iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d \! 192.168.0.0/24 -j SNAT --to-source <ip on ppp0>
[19:31] <DasEi> dj_: sudo apt-get install gparted
[19:31] <usr13> paulus68_: Do you have it sharing internet or something?  (What kind of server is it?)
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> ZystemFryar:  the local user would see none of those.
[19:32] <ZystemFryar> Thanks, Going to play around a bit...
[19:32] <Dr_Willis> ZystemFryar:  However. running 12 instances of the gnome desktop - may put a bit of load on the machine. Using X forwarding - would be less intensive.
[19:32] <paulus68_> usr13: it's a server where which I just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.10 last night I had about 100 gig free and now it's full I have dhcp bind iptables running on to it and no internet sharing
[19:32] <dj_> DasEi:done installed gparted
[19:32]  * ZystemFryar is away -[ Playing & Catching a bite... ]- at 14:32:41 -[ P:On / L:On ]-
[19:32] <DasEi> dj_: sudo gparted
[19:32] <ctmjr> ntr__: try this sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-composite --nvagp=3 then reboot yes again
[19:32] <DasEi> dj_: ..let it load
[19:33] <santamarta> Hola
[19:33] <dj_> yes it shows
[19:33] <Seveas> ZystemFryar, disable that annoying script in here
[19:33] <paulus68_> usr13: hardrive of 500 gig with 100 gig free brb
[19:33] <napster> I can't find that xor.conf file in /etc/X!!
[19:33] <napster> I can't find that xor.conf file in /etc/X11
[19:33] <DasEi> dj_: chooses the usb , NOT your harddisk
[19:33] <DasEi> choose*
[19:33] <usr13> paulus68_: If it's full, just delete some stuff.  (And stop the offending app that is filling it up, or reconfigure it)
[19:33] <ZystemFryar> Bah.. I though It was disabled already
[19:33] <Seveas> napster, it's xorg.conf

[19:38] <webbb82> well i  dont really know how to manually assign ubuntu to my unalocated space , always before the install cd would give me the option to install them side by side but io never got that option
[19:39] <Drakeson> how can I run a custom .xsession from gdm?
[19:39] <Steamduck> DasEi: I actually can't connect via ethernet at all.  I can occasionally get a connection with some wireless routers.  I have had only one ethernet router to test

[19:40] <NamVet> SRY need help doing this, been struggling w/ it since 10:30a you could move the broken users .gnome* and .gconf* directories somewhere, then login as that user.  It should 'reset' your gnome settings back to defaults.

[19:41] <ntr__> and not a problem, i trust you :P
[19:41] <burzki> webbb82, two options .. if you install from the cd, when you get to the partitioner, it should give you a 'manual' option.  secondly, you could boot into the liveCD and run the partitioner from there

[19:43] <deviad> acrobat, for i686 you can just use i386

[19:43] <guntbert> acrobat: there are no special builds for i686

[19:49] <guntbert> Snump: you want ubuntu-restricted-extras (not linux-...)
[19:49] <webbb82> only earase the entire dirve and install or manual
[19:49] <nero_> i have a laptop running under ubuntu 9.10

[19:49] <Steamduck> burzki: I can't get a reliable connection via wireless with my Asus 1000HE   I can't get ANY  with ethernet
[19:49] <legend2440> Snump: amd stopped supporting the radeon xpress 1250 so only option is the open source radeon driver
[19:49] <nero_>  but i can't get my wireless to work
[19:50] <ntr__> webbb82: when I installed it the other day it was there, when you configure the disks
[19:50] <burzki> Steamduck, this new isntall?
[19:50] <burzki> Steamduck, RaLink RT2860 is your wireless chipset.  you need driver for it, if not already
[19:50] <Steamduck> burzki: Yes
[19:50] <usr13> Steamduck: You will need to give us specific information about your network and the PCs on it in order for us to help you figure out how to connect to it.
[19:51] <nero_> the wireless is atheros 5.11 i think
[19:51] <Steamduck> usr13: I provided a pastebin link.  Did that help?
[19:51] <burzki> usr13, Steamduck pastebin ^^
[19:51] <webbb82> ya it wasnt there i dunno why thats why  i had to manually do it and messed up now im stuck with 200 gb unalocated disk space
[19:51] <usr13> Steamduck: Sorry, didn't see it.
[19:51] <macman_> if you don't mind i know its in a man page somewhere but i would like a simple command to rip an audio cd to a folder .. then burn that folder to a cd so i can play it in my car .. .i perfer a command line string
[19:51] <DasEi> usr13: http://pastebin.com/d5fae047
[19:52] <burzki> webbb82, maybe partitioner is not seeing unused space.  try formatting it from gparted?
[19:52] <rayo> hi, i installed the daily lucid ubuntu and i'm trying to build my own kernel, the kernel is able to boot, after kernel init, it terminates the boot process. (init: mountall main process (86) killed by SEGV signal \n General error mounting filesystems) after the message the maintenance shell is launched. can someone give me a hint what it could be?
[19:52] <Steamduck> burzki: So i need a driver...  Is this a UBuntu driver?  I windows driver?  How do I proceed?
[19:52] <trism> IdleOne: http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/04/28/stream-media-from-ubuntu-to-your-ps3/ might be what you're looking for (uses mediatomb), but I don't have a PS3 so I can't say how well it works
[19:53] <usr13> Steamduck: What does ifconfig eth0 say?
[19:53] <DasEi> macman_: checkout cdrecord
[19:53] <Cheery> I'm trying to figure out why I can't open a file through my newly created tkinter-based program
[19:53] <ctmjr> ntr__: am at a loss here maybe we do have the wrong driver or need to reinstall see what this says about your card  cat /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/*
[19:53] <Steamduck> usr13: Give me a sec I will te you
[19:53] <IdleOne> trism: thank you! was just reading that. One thing though, the instruction say to run sudo mediatomb. I am wondering why run it with sudo, any idea?

[19:58] <DasEi> Guest21102: does lspci find the card ?
[19:58] <Flootenkerp> Could anyone help me out?
[19:58] <macman_> can't i just make the cd into an iso and then burn the iso to a cd+r
[19:58] <Guest21102> DaEi - Nope, because it's an ISA card, but lspnp does find it.
[19:58] <Steamduck> usr13: http://pastebin.com/m3ddd5cb3
[19:58] <Guest21102> DasEi - Nope, because it's an ISA card, but lspnp does find it.
[19:59] <mezquitale> Flootenkerp, use "add/remove" and search for "java"

[20:00] <DasEi> Guest21102: is there a second s-card in that pc ?

[20:00] <legend2440> Snump: what is the best option?
[20:00] <trism> IdleOne: looking at it, makes no sense to me, I don't see any reason why you couldn't just run it as your normal user
[20:00] <_raven_> GPODDER: "sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file" - anything possible to rescue?
[20:00] <Guest21102> DasEi - No other sound modules seem to load beforehand.

[20:00] <DasEi> Guest21102: if you run alsamixer, can you see the card in it's gui ?
[20:01] <IdleOne> trism: thought so also. thanks again
[20:01] <eruditional> does anybody know about direct graphic access?
[20:01] <Guest21102> DasEi - alsamixer gives me an error "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device"
[20:01] <usr13> Steamduck: Is "pent" the essid of YOUR wireless network router/AP?
[20:01] <mezquitale> Flootenkerp, use "add/remove" search for "java", if it's not working what are you trying to do and what is happening when it fails?
[20:01] <DasEi> Guest21102: so it wasn't correct module then

[20:02] <usr13> Steamduck: So it is not broadcasting essid?
[20:02] <legend2440> Snump: i dont know. i have a radeon 9500 that amd stopped supporting. i couldnt get tv out to work with the  open source drivers. i ended up having to get a nvidia card
[20:02] <Steamduck> usr13: yes that's the way I like it
[20:02] <ctmjr> ntr__: well the driver is right the driver you can try and reinstall i cannot find much on google
[20:02] <Guest21102> DasEi - I've inspected the card physically -- it appears to have an ES1869 chipset, so I think it's the right module. Also, the BIOS reports it's an ES1869 in the plug-and-play settings.
[20:02] <Guest21102> DasEi - OK, hold on...
[20:03] <Snump> legend2440: gotcha.
[20:03] <legend2440> Snump: maybe try channel  #radeon  they may know
[20:03] <mezquitale> Flootenkerp, use "add/remove" search for "java", install java support, then try to view on firefox whatever it is youre trying to view, if it fails describe the issue you are experiencing
[20:03] <Guest21102> DasEi - Thanks for responding, by the way...

[20:05] <mezquitale> Flootenkerp, j"java support" is included in java 6.0 plugin or ubuntu restricted extras, java runtime will also install what you need

[20:17] <Guest21102> DasEi - if I use "sudo modprobe snd-es18xx isapnp=1" then it appears to load OK, but I still get the error message I described before.
[20:17] <krdyt> trism, im not sure if its hd0,0 or something else, sudo fdisk -l shows it as /dev/sda2   *        1276       91202   722330624    7  HPFS/NTFS
[20:17] <Guest21102> DasEi - I can try loading the module and resend the syslog and dmesg output, if you like.
[20:17] <guntbert> PrototypeX29A: there is a setting somewhere to enable/disable that
[20:18] <macman_> ok so let me refrase my qestion i think it will be better
[20:18] <Guest21102> DasEi - I don't think I turned logging off intentionally. I'm using CrunchBang 8.10 -- maybe that's default?
[20:18] <Lydia> hi
[20:18] <macman_> i have 5 folders .. 1 called cd 1 .. 1 called cd2 etc .. each folder has mp3's in them .. how can i burn each folder to cd so they play in a car ?
[20:18] <trism> kryl99: /dev/sda2 will be (hd0,1)
[20:18] <macman_> let me give you an example
[20:18] <Guest21102> DasEi - So the "cannot allocate resource" line means what, exactly?
[20:18] <Steamduck> usr13:   back to no google searches
[20:18] <DasEi> Guest21102:  yes, and if you reboot anyway, check if can assign a irq to that Isa slot manaually (in bios)
[20:19] <usr13> Steamduck: dhclient is a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Client and when you issue command:  'dhclient'  your machine asks for IP and connection information from your router.  At which point your router will return with a suggested IP address, default gateway IP and nameserver IPs and all that information is used to configure the connection properly.
[20:19] <trism> krdyt: /dev/sda2 will be (hd0,1)
[20:19] <Steamduck> usr13: and now that it's lost again?
[20:19] <trism> krdyt: other than that, the grub entry in the "only read below if windows is missing..." should be correct
[20:19] <Guest21102> DasEi - Unfortunately, I can't seem to assign an IRQ manually. I haven't pulled the card to look for jumper settings, but I can try that. The BIOS only allows enable/disable of the card, which it names as an ES1869.
[20:19] <guntbert> Guest21102: you do realize that crunchbang != ubuntu ?
[20:19] <Suzanne> Anyone here from Texas?

[20:22] <baz> In "Startup Application Preferences" I changed my command for exaile to "exaile --start-minimized" however it still starts full screen. The same with Transmission, I changed the command to "transmission -m" but it too starts un-minimized. How come?
[20:22] <Guest21102> DasEi - I went there first, but it seems empty today. I much appreciate your assistance.
[20:22] <DasEi> k
[20:22] <eater9> gnome-power-manager gives options to Suspend or Hibernate when I close the lid, but I want it to do the pm-suspend-hybrid option -- there must be a script I can change, but I'm not sure which one...?
[20:22] <Guest21102> DasEi - Be back in about 5-10 minutes.
[20:23] <DasEi> y
[20:23] <ZystemFryar> Dr_Willis, we are talking about Remote access for Alternate Displays. VNC doesnt work for me.. because I Need proper user Loging/Authentication.
[20:23] <Guest21102> DasEi -- Oops, it says "sysklogd is already the newest version" -- I guess it's installed?
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> baz: weird, -m works here great (I am on lucid though but it should be the same)
[20:25] <DasEi> Guest21102: pastebinit /etc/syslog.conf
[20:25] <baz> ActionParsnip, hmm, glad to know its confirmed to work at least
[20:26] <okan_> i have a problem firefox and multimedia programs
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> baz: if you launch it manually from terminal with the -m option does it work?
[20:26] <Guest21102> DasEi - http://pastebin.com/f7e4374e4 for syslog.conf
[20:27] <usr13> okan_: Me to, they are always getting in the way when I'm trying to get my work done.  :)
[20:27] <baz> ActionParsnip, good test, let me see....... yes
[20:27] <okan_>  :)
[20:27] <trism> baz: check the entries in startup applications again, I have found that in karmic at least, it doesn't seem to like to save them properly after you edit them (every time at least), but creating a new entry and deleting the old one seems to work everytime
[20:29] <DasEi> Guest21102: it's enabled, so strange it's empty apart from network
[20:29] <eruditional> is it possible to get mplayer to work with xvidix with a radeon hd 3870
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> baz: curious, if you edit the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications  it should make it the default activity
[20:29] <Guest21102> DasEi - Oops, maybe I did my egrep command wrong.
[20:29] <Guest21102> I guess I'll just send the whole thing.
[20:30] <okan_> usr13 when i watched youtube or facebook,multimedia programs don't work or when i opened multimedia program,i can't watch youtube or facebook videos.no video no no sound
[20:30] <DasEi> Guest21102: gedit /var/log/syslog  should be longer then quarter of a page
[20:31] <okan_> usr13_ you too?
[20:31] <baz> ActionParsnip, the .desktop file doesnt exist for me
[20:31] <DasEi> How do I get the trigger for a hd when it's mounted ? (I want to run a script once I manually mount a hd )
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> eruditional:
[20:32] <Dr_Willis> ZystemFryar:  If over the internet. then you sould want to ssh tunnle vnc connections. You can set up vnc where the users connect via a vncviewer and it shows a login screen.
[20:32] <Dr_Willis> ZystemFryar:  but freenx may be a better alteratnvie for you.

[20:32] <ndroftheline> right, so can anybody help me figure out what /dev/xxx device my digital camera is?

[20:33] <konraddo> hi i want to install ubuntu this evening, shops are already closed and i don't have any empty CD's, only DVDs.  can i burn ISO of Ubuntu CD to the DVD disc and will it work?
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> baz: does that not show a file?
[20:33] <Guest21102> DasEi - I was trying to suppress NetworkManager and dhclient lines, but I used the wrong parameter and only included them. :/
[20:33] <DasEi> Guest21102: that's a syslog, second
[20:33] <CShadowRun> !installationfromusb | konraddo
[20:33] <meway> Dr_willis do you know the command to make you root not just tirminal but where I can just go to files and click them?
[20:33] <CShadowRun> aww.
[20:33] <Izinucs> konraddo: should
[20:33] <konraddo> ok, thanks :)
[20:33] <eruditional> ActionParsnip, yeah?
[20:33] <ZystemFryar> Dr_Willis, Thanks, Yes, the users are connecting via internet, and are fairly non-technical...
[20:33] <ndroftheline> anybody know how to identify the block device of a digital camera?
[20:34] <teage> hi, how you guys doin?
[20:34] <CShadowRun> konraddo: google ubuntu Installation from usb, there should be an article on the wiki that tells you how to do it. I think there is also a DVD image someplace
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> konraddo: as far as I am aware, no. I suggest you download the DVD ISO, or you can use a USB stick to put the ISO on to install from (assuming the system can boot USB)
[20:34] <Dr_Willis> meway:  you realluy should NOT be running nautilus as root. ive seen all sorts of goofy things happen because of that. If yiou really need a file manager as root. I always use 'mc' in a root terminal.
[20:34] <ZystemFryar> Dr_Willis: I'm looking up freenx now.
[20:34] <ndroftheline> !installfromusb
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> ndroftheline: sudo fdisk -l
[20:34] <konraddo> ok, so i will install from pendrive :P
[20:34] <Jamed> !usb | ndroftheline
[20:34] <teage> got a problem with firefox if anyone knows how to deal with it
[20:34] <guntbert> meway: you usually don't need root access for graphical apps - but if you *really* do use gksudo <app>
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> !detail | teage
[20:34] <teage> k
[20:34] <Izinucs> ndroftheline: with the camera unplugged.. open a terminal and type dmesg.. look at the last few lines.. now plug in the camera wait a few seconds for it to mount or be recognized.. then repeat the last command.. you'll see the mount point.
[20:34] <Guest21102> DasEi - FYI - I did load the module, so there may be some non-default stuff at the end of the log.

[20:35] <kaddi>  I need help getting hugin and autopano to work.  i installed both.  I also installed mono and gtk-sharp2.  but I still get the following error message: http://pastebin.com/d1c948740 How can I fix this?
[20:35] <Apachez> I have tried digging around on the ubuntu.com but is there no netinstall image for ubuntu-server-amd64 ?
[20:35] <meway> guntbert thanks
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> eruditional: does it not help?
[20:35] <ndroftheline> Izinucs, i know the mount point though...i want the block device (is that the right term? ) the /dev/xxx thing.
[20:36] <ndroftheline> ActionParsnip, fdisk doesn't show my camera.
[20:36] <meway> guntbert Dr_willis I actually did think of an alternative way thanks lol
[20:36] <ndroftheline> ActionParsnip, it's mounted with gphoto2
[20:36] <teage> well, im using ubuntu karmic. with default firefox, i believe its 3.5? anywho, How do i reset it to its default
[20:36] <Izinucs> ndroftheline: might
[20:36] <ndroftheline> Izinucs, i'll try it. thanks
[20:36] <ndroftheline> !
[20:36] <meway> guntbert Dr_willis I used vim under the sudo command
[20:36] <teage> completly
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> ndroftheline: fdisk should show the partition if its visible
[20:37] <Izinucs> kaddi: I've used and loaded hugin from the repos and used it with no issues.. autopano isn't one of the utilities that I've tried.. what's it do
[20:37] <guntbert> meway: good :-) but if you better like gedit - use gksudo
[20:37] <Dr_Willis> meway:  yes. thats a good way to edit files as root.. :)
[20:37] <syke> hi
[20:37] <teage> its a problem with my prisms
[20:37] <Guest21102> DasEi - If we get this working, I will put up a post on the forums for future reference of anyone else trying to do the same thing, so your patience is not in vain. :)
[20:37] <teage> they do not work anymore for some reason
[20:37] <guntbert> !enter | teage
[20:37] <ndroftheline> ActionParsnip, it doesn't.
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> teage: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old
[20:37] <kaddi> Izinucs: it creates controlpoints if you want to merge several pictures into one
[20:37] <syke> I just noticed that the recent update to lucid's gcc-snapshot includes a dependency on libasound. Why is gcc dependent on ALSA all of a sudden?
[20:37] <ndroftheline> ActionParsnip, nor does parted
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> teage: you will then have a completely default browser
[20:37] <teage> thank you
[20:37] <Izinucs> kaddi: for HDR stuff?

[20:38] <Izinucs> kaddi: or panoramics?

[20:38] <Guest21102> DasEi - That's something it would probably have taken me a long time to figure out without your help.
[20:38] <DasEi> Guest21102: so, checked, it's no irq problem, try : sudo modprobe snd-es1688
[20:38] <sharpen047> usr13, mka back
[20:38] <kaddi> Izinucs: not sure what is HDR and what is panoramics I haven't really used hugin yet. I wanted to merge my panorama pictures into one big picture but so far it proved impossible
[20:38] <meway> guntbert Dr_willis I rather not use gedit because when the computer is online I like to connect to the tirminal with ssh and run server off desktop linux

[20:39] <Guest21102> DasEi - Do I need to unload things or reboot first?
[20:39] <guntbert> meway: wise decision :-)

[20:39] <meway> guntbert Dr_willis anyway thanks for the help :)

[20:40] <usr13> sharpen047: still working on your Iphone?
[20:40] <sharpen047> usr13, yes
[20:40] <Izinucs> kaddi: ok.. you're trying to do a panoramic.. if there is no overlap (apx 30%) of each pic then there won't be any control points.. Often I manually create control points.. in the widow with 2 pic showing make sure the pic on the left is #0 or 1 and the second on the right is #1 or 2 respectively..
[20:40] <usr13> sharpen047: Wish i could be more help, but like I said, I'm a blackberry user... sorry.
[20:40] <DasEi> Guest21102: so, checked, it's no irq problem, try : sudo modprobe snd-es16     afterwards check alsamixer again
[20:41] <sharpen047> usr13, i got my laptop to broadcast, but cant get my iphone to stay conneceted lol no prob :D
[20:41] <okan_> usr13 have you solved your problem?
[20:41] <baz> ActionParsnip, oh I'm sorry, I just did .desktop, the file it open

[20:41] <Guest21102> DasEi - I did run "sudo modprobe snd-es1688". alsamixer still doesn't work. Could the snd-es18xx module be interfering?
[20:42] <Xfact> I am running 8.04 thinking about to update OpenOffice.org to 3.1.1 via PPA package, even it's ready to update, should I proceed? (or will it work...?)
[20:42] <ndroftheline> can anybody help me make a dd image of my camera's internal memory?

[20:42] <sharpen047> usr13, http://www.junefabrics.com/iphone/wifi_setup.php
[20:43] <baz> ActionParsnip, what does the %F do and should it be after the "-m"?
[20:43] <Xfact> I am running 8.04 thinking about to update OpenOffice.org to 3.1.1 via PPA package, even it's ready to update, should I proceed? (or will it work...?)
[20:43] <kaddi> sry about that, I thought the command was shorter Izinucs
[20:43] <bigdavjoker> Virtualbox 3.1 keeps crashing my ubuntu 9.10 installation
[20:43] <Izinucs> kaddi: looks like you're doing it with the cli.. have you tried the gui?
[20:44] <kaddi> Izinucs: how do I do it by gui?
[20:44] <Guest21102> DasEi - Doesn't seem to matter to modprobe if I use snd_ or snd-
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> baz: the man page doesn't mention %f
[20:44] <bigdavjoker> It crashes as soon as I try and install a guest OS I can configure guest OS but when I launch it and it tries to read from the CD Drive it freezes the computer requirng a hard reset

[20:44] <webbb82> can someone plesae tell me why when i boot the uubuntu installer and get to the paartition  part the option to install them side by side isnt there. it was always there before but the one time i need it its not did they remove it from the partition options
[20:44] <Guest21102> DasEi - How did you determine it's not an IRQ issue?
[20:45] <usr13> sharpen047: So did you get it connected?
[20:45] <Izinucs> kaddi: hugin should be in Applications>Graphics>Hugin.. load that and play.. you should be able to tag all the pics you want to combine and then there will be a button to create the control points..
[20:45] <sharpen047> usr13, nope, not yet but im updating the program on the phone now
[20:45] <DasEi> Guest21102: it's found and assigned in syslog
[20:45] <Xfact> gosh!

[20:46] <trism> ActionParsnip: %F just substitutes the file name argument (if you launched transmission by right clicking on a file in nautilus for example)
[20:46] <Guest21102> DasEi - I'll have to read through it. So right now I have both snd_es18xx and snd_es1688 loaded, it seems.
[20:46] <DasEi> Guest21102: maybe the module is missing, get it all over one more time
[20:46] <Izinucs> Xfact: unless you need a feature that isn't in the 8.04 version.. no.. wait until the next LTS is released then just upgrade the whole system
[20:46] <DasEi> Guest21102: http://pastebin.com/m5a336354
[20:47] <webbb82> should there be a option to install ubuntu side by side in the partition part of the ubuntu install?
[20:47] <kaddi> Izinucs: yes, that is what I used and then I get a popup saying: the command <long command posted earlier> failed with error code 1.  When I copy that command into command line I get the mono/panoswift error I linked to
[20:47] <Guest21102> DasEi - Interstingly, neither module seems to be used by any other, according to lsmod. Should I pastebin that output?
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> trism: gotcha, thanks :D

[20:47] <Izinucs> kaddi: did you load hugin from the repos or download it
[20:47] <DasEi> Xfact: and do yourself a favor and try least ibex, there are many changes since hardy, maybe run a live cd in virtualbox

[20:50] <kaddi> sol10: not me then
[20:50] <usr13> sharpen047: Yes, but for a dhcp client to ask for IP information, it would need a dhcp server to answer.
[20:50] <sharpen047> usr13, how do i set dhcp via command line without dhcpcd
[20:50] <Guest21102> DasEi - Looks like it's installing build-essential. This should be fun...
[20:51] <Guest5612> hi all ;)
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> Flootenkerp: ok use that to find guides on how to make it run better
[20:51] <sharpen047> usr13, itd be nice to use the network manager that comes with kubuntu but i doubt that is going to happen
[20:51] <DasEi> Guest21102: y, recompiling alsa it will
[20:51] <Guest5612> yaa
[20:51] <trix`G> ubuntu has an ARM release, correct?
[20:51] <Guest5612> yes
[20:52] <Flootenkerp> I googled it, but oithers issues are problems with compiz and such
[20:52] <trix`G> would that work on Beagleboard based systems such as the Pandora? Or maybe with some modifications, the iPhone?
[20:52] <DasEi> gasull: modem found ?
[20:52] <usr13> sharpen047: No, probably have to kill the network manager and take over manually.
[20:52] <ashka> Hello guys
[20:52] <ashka> somebody have already installed qwebirc ?
[20:53] <sharpen047> usr13, so should i install dhcpcd?
[20:53] <adac> how can I deactivate bluetooth?
[20:53] <Guest5612> WraithPL

[20:53] <Guest5612> WraithPL
[20:53] <FloodBot1> Guest5612: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:53] <trix`G> oh yes, compiz and other compositing apps would have serious issues on ARM arch
[20:53] <Guest21102> DasEi - running "sudo m-a a-i alsa"...
[20:53] <webbb82> im using the 64 bit version to install ubuntu but the option to install them side b y side isnt there. the 32  bit version on my old computer always had that option but now with the new computer and 64bits the installer doesnt give me the option to install them side by side
[20:53] <adac> how can I deactivate bluetooth on command line?
[20:53] <Guest21102> DasEi - Says "Couldn't create the /usr/src/linux symlink!"
[20:54] <Guest21102> DasEi - still doing stuff, though...
[20:54] <DasEi> Guest21102: let it finish, then call back
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> Flootenkerp: looks like the xorg edgers ppa helps
[20:54] <CharelB> hacky new year to everyone!
[20:54] <w3asal> when I run compiz, everytime I use alt-tab to switch from and then eventually back to gnome-terminal, gnome-terminal does not capture *any* keystrokes, if I move the window or switch back and forth with the mouse, it works again. where should I report this? it's 100% reproducible on my system
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> Flootenkerp: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa
[20:55] <Flootenkerp> So its an issue with my xorg drivers?
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> w3asal: log a bug
[20:55] <usr13> sharpen047: If you want to server you will have to install it.  And I think what you need is dhcp3-server  But look and see; apt-cache search dhcpd
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> w3asal: i'd also ask in #compiz
[20:55] <Xfact> I updated firefox and it's changed into 'Shiretoko browser' is that normal?
[20:55] <Xfact> Shiretoko browser 3.5
[20:56] <w3asal> ActionParsnip, I plan to, should I file under compiz or gnome-terminal? also should I file in ubuntu or upstream?
[20:56] <Flootenkerp> I found this guide, it looks like my issue.
[20:56] <Flootenkerp> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/intel-graphics-performance-guide-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html
[20:56] <MorphyNOR> Xfact: thats the codename
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> Flootenkerp: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1061484
[20:57] <Xfact> MorphyNOR:  means it's normal
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> Flootenkerp: yes that mentions the xorg edgers ppa too, get it added and update
[20:57] <usr13> sharpen047: But you have to tell it to listen only on the wifi device if you are connected to your LAN on the wired one becuase it will cause problems on your LAN if  you have 2 dhcp servers running at once.
[20:57] <MorphyNOR> Xfact: means you are using FX 3.5 in something other than ubuntu 9.10
[20:58] <Flootenkerp> So follow the guide I linked to and it should work better?
[20:58] <usr13> sharpen047: Which would more than likely mean editing the startup sctript for the dhcp server application.
[20:59] <sharpen047> usr13, how do i do that on the command line? I have a second wifi card ill install now so i can stay connected here
[21:00] <ashka> somebody have already installer qwebirc ?
[21:00] <ashka> *installed
[21:00] <sharpen047> usr13, alright
[21:01] <sharpen047> usr13, i have both cards in now
[21:02] <crankharder> i've got x64_64 ubuntu installed, vbox running, and I can't install a 64 bit image on a new virtual machine -- the ubuntu installer says it has only detected an i686 cpu, and  needs a x86_64 cpu - why is vbox emulating a different processor?
[21:02] <DasEi> Guest21102: can open another trml-tab for : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> crankharder: not all 64bit CPUs support 64bit guest OSes
[21:03] <sharpen047> usr13, you still there? i think i dced for a few seconds
[21:03] <MorphyNOR> crankharder: better ask that question in #vbox
[21:03] <crankharder> thanx
[21:03] <DasEi> crankharder: version ubuntu, version vbox ? (wrong chan her)
[21:03] <DasEi> here*
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> crankharder: you may also want to check your BIOS has the 64bit VM feature (its name escapes me) enabled
[21:03] <usr13> sharpen047: You might be able to put some commands in /etc/rc.local or someplace to tell the dhcp server to listen on the correct wifi device and to set the essid and IP address to it etc.
[21:04] <sharpen047> usr13, im going to try to connect via command line and get rid of my network manager
[21:04] <DasEi> crankharder: also the FAQ on vbox'es homepage can tell you

[21:04] <shawn146> hello
[21:04] <jMyles> WIth apache, I want to restore /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to the default when I installed the package.  However, even if I apt-get remove and apt-get install, it is not restored. What can I do?
[21:04] <kaimanjak> howto install ubntu 9.10 on a secundary disc? Ubuntu installer only shows the primary...
[21:04] <usr13> sharpen047: yes, as ActionParsnip says  use /etc/network/interfaces
[21:04] <shawn146> aww coz isn't on
[21:05] <shawn146> i am loving ubuntu
[21:05] <jMyles> shawn146: yay! :-)
[21:05] <karleeto> i have just setup an nfs share on my server, and i have it working here on my laptop, but my question is: how come if i mount a cd or a pendrive or whatever, even a windows share, it adds a thing to the desktop where i can unmount it or access it easily
[21:05] <DasEi> kaimanjak: what os is on the other ?
[21:05] <karleeto> well, i would like for my nfs share to do the same thing
[21:05] <kaddi> anyone else familiar with hugin/panosift not working correctly on mono on ubuntu?
[21:05] <karleeto> can i accomplish this?
[21:06] <MorphyNOR> karleeto: you could mount it at your desktop... or symlink it in
[21:06] <Guest21102> DasEi - OK, I got the URL open and another terminal ready. Also, the module-assistant process has halted: "Build of the package alsa-source failed! How do you wish to proceed?" I can VIEW/CONTINUE/STOP.
[21:06] <MorphyNOR> !symlink | karleeto
[21:06] <MorphyNOR> !mount | karleeto
[21:06] <DasEi> Guest21102:continue, but keep in mind I don't use crunch
[21:06] <karleeto> i know that, i can mount it and use it
[21:07] <Guest21102> DasEi - Understood.
[21:07] <suigeneris> a
[21:07] <karleeto> i just want an icon to show up on the desktop when i mount it, like it does with everything else
[21:07] <Dr_Willis> !ppc
[21:07] <sharpen047> usr13, ok back im up using command line only no netmanager
[21:07] <Guest21102> DasEi - OK, the module-assistant process ended.
[21:08] <beeny> can anybody tell me how to install and open google in ubuntu?
[21:08] <Guest21102> DasEi - "sudo aplay -l" shows the ES1869 as the only item.
[21:08] <suigeneris> beeny you mean google chrome?
[21:08] <guntbert> beeny: google is only a website
[21:08] <DasEi> Guest21102:under system > preferences > sound can you find your card there now ?
[21:08] <beeny> I meant google earth ! oopps !
[21:09] <beeny> I installed it from package manager but cant find it to open??
[21:09] <Guest21102> DasEi - I don't have that functionality, so I can't check. alsamixer still fails. HOWEVER, I notice that my acct does not seem to belong to a "sound" group.
[21:09] <Dr_Willis> beeny:  this is when gnome-do comes in handy. :)
[21:10] <nmvictor> has anyone here everused kannel, i cant find the files smskannel.conf and wapkannel.conf
[21:10] <Guest21102> DasEi - Trying to add me to it says no "sound" group exists.
[21:10] <DasEi> Guest21102:sudo apt-get install alsa-utils
[21:10] <Dr_Willis>  beeny  the command from terminal is 'googleearth'
[21:10] <DasEi> Guest21102:sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[21:10] <Dr_Willis> beeny:  nio idea where its at in the menus
[21:10] <beeny> don t comprede DR Willis. Sorry . gnome-do
[21:11] <Guest21102> DasEi - http://pastebin.com/f2345662e for "sudo aplay -l" output
[21:11] <beeny> okay , tereminal and then just "googlearth'
[21:11] <dnivra> I've just re-installed karmic and am trying to restore my packages from the previous installation. I ran "dpkg --set-selections < my_packages" but got an error "dpkg: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area". What's wrong? Am I missing an option or something?
[21:11] <Dr_Willis> beeny:  its a special lauincher tool.  if you had gnome-do running you could just hit alt-space and type 'goo' and it would show all programs begging with goo*
[21:11] <DasEi> nmvictor: I havent, but for usual such are under /etc   , sometimes in own subfolder of that
[21:11] <Blue1> google earth is in apps/internet
[21:11] <llutz> dnivra: used sudo?
[21:11] <jtaji> beeny: just hit alt+F2 and type it
[21:11] <beeny> Was looking for a link in programs or something. Most used to windows Dr-Willis.
[21:12] <jtaji> beeny: there's supposed to be a link in apps > Internet
[21:12] <sharpen047_> usr13: Hey laptop froze..
[21:12] <dnivra> llutz: thank you. precisely what was missing.
[21:12] <kaimanjak> DasEi, one ntfs partition and seven ext3 partitions (/boot, /home, /root, /srv, /local, /usr and /tmp)
[21:12] <sharpen047_> usr13:  back though
[21:12] <DasEi> kaimanjak: so you got a running ubuntu on the first ?
[21:12] <Blue1> kaimanjak: i hope some of these are extended partitions- why no /swap?
[21:13] <Guest21102> DasEi - alsa-utils package was already newest version, restart command says OK for both shutdown and reinitialization
[21:13] <DasEi> Guest21102:still no go by alsamixer ?
[21:13] <nmvictor> DasEi: ok, i mean i cant find it with `locate smskannel.conf` yet the dicumentation at http://www.kannel.org talks of this configuration files
[21:13] <Guest21102> DasEi - Nope, same error.
[21:14] <meway> lol my brother did something to his computer apparently he can't use the command apt-get  ? any thoughts?
[21:14] <chrismnh> i am getting Inappropriate ioctl for device when i strace ./xboxdrv does anyone know any possible causes on this on hardy?
[21:14] <Blue1> meway: can he ping outside world?
[21:14] <kaimanjak> Blue1 there is one /swap too
[21:14] <Guest21102> DasEi - I was reading a couple of places where other people with ISA cards had to do some alias commands of some sort. Could that apply here? It seems like the card is active and recognized but not by ALSA.
[21:14] <lynne> hi, i have problems with mounting a internal harddisk... it doesn't automount
[21:14] <Dr_Willis> lynne:  and the disk filesystem is?
[21:14] <meway> blue1 I think so
[21:15] <lynne> Dr_Willis, ext3
[21:15] <Blue1> meway: don't think so - KNOW so
[21:15] <kaimanjak> DasEi i want to install ubuntu on the ext3 partitions
[21:15] <Dr_Willis> lynne:  you added a proper entry for it in /etc/fstab ?
[21:15] <dnivra> one more question "sudo dselect" is used to install the packages after all the selections right? I got "sudo: dselect: command not found". is it the right command?
[21:15] <meway> blue1 gimmy a sec he stupidly disconnected and he is on youtube so i dont see why not
[21:16] <Guest21102> DasEi - It's saying "failed for default", how can I see what it's trying to use for default?
[21:16] <KiRiLoS> i have a driver mounted to my system,the thing is something gotta be wrong with permissions,i want it to be read&write for every user in my system
[21:16] <Dr_Willis> KiRiLoS:  and what filesystem is this drive?
[21:16] <Guest21102> DasEi - If it didn't recognize the card on install, maybe default is not set correctly?
[21:16] <nmvictor> anybody used kannel here?
[21:16] <KiRiLoS> Dr_Willis, NTFS
[21:16] <Blue1> KiRiLoS: owch -- sudo chmod 777 <filename>
[21:16] <Dr_Willis> KiRiLoS:  you may want to install/run the ntfs-config tool and enable the options for allowing everyont access I think
[21:16] <DasEi> kaimanjak: errm, do I misunderstood ? didn't you say you had one internal in use right now and wanted ubuntu on another , second hd not recognized by the installer ?
[21:17] <lynne> Dr_Willis, the weird this is that i don't see it in the fstab... when i mounted it, gparted says they are sdb1 sdb2 etc... but fstab names sda1 etc.
[21:17] <KiRiLoS> Dr_Willis, Any instructions?
[21:17] <sharpen047_> usr13: Well I was going to connect on a third computer but mobbit blocked freenode so that won't work
[21:17] <meway> blue1 restarting it fixed it
[21:17] <ashka> somebody have already installed qwebirc ?
[21:17] <llutz> dnivra: tried this to restore packages? sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade
[21:17] <Blue1> meway: great!
[21:17] <Dr_Willis> KiRiLoS:  install and run 'ntfs-config' :) it only has 2 check box's for its gui
[21:17] <Dr_Willis> KiRiLoS:  or add a proper fstab entry manually.
[21:17] <Scunizi> When I call up Gnome-Do the text in the box is unreadable..like it's some funky font that's not rendering correctly.. how do I fix that?
[21:17] <usr13> sharpen047: shucks
[21:18] <kaimanjak> DasEi i had windows installed in the first hd
[21:18] <KiRiLoS> Dr_Willis, I could do that,if i just knew which are the correct permissions :P Do you want me to paste the line in the /etc/fstab i have right now?
[21:18] <Dr_Willis> KiRiLoS:  heres my fstab line.. I was thinking ntfs-config added them as well.. but it must be tweaking the hardware layer configs now.

[21:22] <vanessa> ja danke
[21:22] <vanessa> geht auch freundlich
[21:22] <DasEi> kaimanjak: so I suggest you use win to format whole second hd to fat 32 then, unplug first hd to make sure grub won't destroy mbr, install ubuntu to the then first hd, then re-plug it, then run update-grub to get a bootlaoder entry for win in your second hd
[21:22] <vanessa> ich meinte chatraum

[21:25] <balloooza> matu, is it making the computer ususable? we could find some way to work around it, but try asking how to report a bug too (I have never reportd a bug, I am not the one to ask)
[21:25] <usr13> matu: update-manager

[21:26] <dermaku> halo
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> khelvan: should be metacity
[21:26] <usr13> matu: What I mean is;  Have you done updates to your 9.10 system?  Is it fully updated?
[21:26] <shawn146> can anybody help me figure out how to use compiz?
[21:26] <ratonplayer> just activate him at the panel control

[21:27] <ActionParsnip> shawn146: then press ALT+F2 and type: compiz --replace
[21:27] <BlouBlou> shawn146: Okay, so what do you want to know? :)
[21:27] <soreau> khelvan: shawn146: and that will be the default for the session
[21:27] <matu> because i dont know where the problem is

[21:28] <balloooza> shawn, try simple-ccsm (sudo aptitude install simple-ccsm) and if that is to basic move up to compizconfig-setting-manager
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> shawn146: if it doesnt start then run the command in terminal to see whats going on
[21:28] <shawn146> where do i start it up
[21:28] <shawn146> the compiz
[21:28] <soreau> shawn146: Look in Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects tab. Anything other than None should start compiz

[21:29] <usr13> matu: don't feel bad, I didn't even give an ounce
[21:29] <Guest21102> DasEi - Sure thing. You're a hero for trying! Catch you later. FYI, I'm using the 8.10 (intrepid) system.
[21:29] <BlouBlou> shawn146: If you have 3d acceleration it starts automatically, and if it doesn't read soreau's comment ;)

[21:29] <ActionParsnip> shawn146: you need 3D accelleration so you will need to configure video drivers
[21:29] <matu> i dont know what to file
[21:29] <usr13> matu: Sorry, bad joke...
[21:29] <TaterSalad> if boot into a live disc...and I have an iso that I want imaged to my hard disk, whats the easiest way to do that?

[21:29] <KiRiLoS> i have a NTFS driver mounted to my system,the thing is something gotta be wrong with permissions,i want it to be read&write for every user in my system
[21:30] <soreau> shawn146: What happened when you tried to set something other than None?
[21:30] <_raven_> is ffmpeg able to save a video in ratio 2.39:1?
[21:30] <matu> i can file netbook-manager
[21:30] <balloooza> KiRiLoS, I can help with NTFS

[21:30] <usr13> KiRiLoS: pastebinit /etc/fstab
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> shawn146: if you run: lspci | grep -i vga    you can search the web for guides
[21:30] <KiRiLoS> Dr_Willis, I cant run ntfs-config i am using KDE and there are some libraries needed to use it,and i dont wanna install them
[21:31] <usr13> KiRiLoS: Basically just change owner to user
[21:31] <soreau> ActionParsnip: If he has intel or ati, 3D should work OOTB. No need to jump to conclusions :)
[21:31] <shawn146> i just did alt + f2 and did the compiz --replace and my desktop jsut refreshed and my windows poped up
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> soreau: its good to check though, and free
[21:31] <balloooza> KiRiLoS, NTFS dose not handle permissions per file, so in /etc/fstab (post on pastbin) you need to specify the options dmask and fmask  (I think that is what they are I will double chek
[21:32] <KiRiLoS> usr13, & balloooza , i am newb when it comes to permissions,i'll paste my fstab line
[21:32] <shawn146> ??
[21:32] <lynne> does anyone know why i need to enter a password the first time i open my ext3 internal harddrive?
[21:32] <soreau> ActionParsnip: Right, but if they think they need to install graphics drivers, they could break their already working drivers.
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> soreau: thats why we run compiz --replace first, just to try suff
[21:33] <howdy-ho> i have a new partition. how do i chmod from root to uid 1000?
[21:33] <lorenzo> hi, and happy 2010. is there a way i can uninstall all of the games on karmic with one command, without having to list every individual package? thanks
[21:33] <balloooza> KiRiLoS, yes it is dmask and fmask
[21:33] <KiRiLoS> balloooza, usr13 , http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m674b190b
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> shawn146: ok if you run ccsm and enable some plugins does the desktop react (like wobbly windows)
[21:33] <shawn146> where
[21:33] <usr13> howdy-ho: what do you want to do with your new partition?
[21:34] <themuddler> I have an eeepc with an Atom processor.  I currently have the x86 version of ubuntu installed.  Can I add lpia repositories to take advantage of optimizations or is it dangerous to mix architectures?
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> shawn146: press alt+f2   tpye ccsm   pres enter
[21:34] <howdy-ho> access it. don't have the rights to move or copy
[21:34] <shawn146> ok i did it

[21:34] <TaterSalad> if boot into a live disc...and I have an iso that I want imaged to my hard disk, whats the easiest way to do that?
[21:34] <howdy-ho> i'm thinking sudo chmod, just checking before i do something stupid. lol
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> shawn146: is compiz working?
[21:34] <shawn146> how do i use it
[21:35] <soreau> ! ccsm | shawn146
[21:35] <balloooza> so if you wanted all files executable writable and readable by you, and all the directorys executable writable and readable by you and all others only able to write here is the new line to replace the old lines
[21:35] <shawn146> ubottu i installed everything for the compiz
[21:35] <shawn146> wat
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> shawn146: it all in front of you, scroll down to wobbly windows and tick it, then drag the window around
[21:36] <jorge> hola?
[21:36] <balloooza> KiRiLoS, so if you wanted all files executable writable and readable by you, and all the directorys executable writable and readable by you and all others only able to write here is the new line to replace the old lines

[21:36] <konr> Guys, I had package foo installed, with dependencies bar and baz. I've
[21:36] <konr>        deleted foo with dpkg, but I want to keep bar and baz, which will be
[21:36] <konr>        removed next time I use aptitude. Is there a way to keep them, besides
[21:36] <konr>        grepping their names and doing aptitude install with each?
[21:36] <konr>  
[21:36] <FloodBot1> konr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:37] <balloooza> KiRiLoS, I can only imagine that that is what you want, I should have asked first :)
[21:37] <konr> oops, sorry
[21:37] <usr13> KiRiLoS: I think you only need to remove the gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=002,  parts
[21:37] <konr> Guys, I had package foo installed, with dependencies bar and baz. I've deleted foo with dpkg, but I want to keep bar and baz, which will be removed next time I use aptitude. Is there a way to keep them, besides grepping their names and doing aptitude install with each?

[21:37] <Shinydan_> I'm wanting to reformat a USB hard drive to ext3 to allow proper read/write access for everyone on my house network. Help?
[21:37] <KiRiLoS> balloooza, I want it to be readable and writeable for all users balloooza & usr13 . I use it for storing all my files,so i read/write with all users in there
[21:37] <balloooza> usr13, why, that is what gives the permissions to the files on fat/NTFS
[21:38] <pitput> what's ubuntu one?
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> shawn146: you can run the: comnpiz --replace    from, terminal and the output there may help
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> pitput: an online data storage
[21:38] <pitput> is it available at the moment and is it free to use?
[21:38] <baz> konr, what does that have to do with me and bar?
[21:38] <balloooza> KiRiLoS, gid needs to be a number
[21:38] <KiRiLoS> balloooza, usr13 is right,that's what i need to change.The thing is i have no clue about what should i write there
[21:39] <konr> baz: and bak too!
[21:39] <nintnint> hi
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> pitput: https://one.ubuntu.com/
[21:39] <balloooza> KiRiLoS, would you mind if we do a private chat, it is hard to keep up with the scrolling, i know how to use those permissions and I can better teach it to you
[21:39] <baz> konr, hehe
[21:39] <KiRiLoS> ok balloooza no prob
[21:39] <shawn146> actionparsnip?
[21:39] <Star2010> the server could deploy smooth scrolling
[21:40] <pitput> that is so awesome!
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> shawn146: websearch that to find guides
[21:40] <shawn146> ok where
[21:40] <usr13> balloooza: I think it should look like:  ntfs-3g users,defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8  0 0
[21:40] <nintnint> So I'm trying to install ndisgtk to a computer without internet, but it says the dependancy is not satisfiable for ndiswrapper-utils.  I tried to install ndiswrapper with a deb but it says a new version is already installed.

[21:41] <Shinydan_> I'm wanting to reformat a USB hard drive to ext3 to allow proper read/write access for everyone on my house network. Is that sensible?
[21:41] <balloooza> usr13, why is that

[21:41] <shawn146> *search
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> nintnint: or you will have to use: http://package.ubuntu.com  to download the deps
[21:41] <nintnint> It is a desktop, I can't do that.  Two  rooms away from the router.
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> shawn146: whichever internet search engine you like
[21:42] <shawn146> ok
[21:42] <nintnint> It is for crunchbang, also.
[21:42] <usr13> balloooza: Well, what do you think?
[21:42] <guntbert> !crunchbang | nintnint
[21:42] <llutz> shawn146: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdXY (where XY is your external drive) and then mount it, chown/chgrp/chmod to adjust permissions
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> nintnint: its not supported here
[21:42] <nintnint> doesn't matter.
[21:43] <llutz> Shinydan_:  mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdXY (where XY is your external drive) and then mount it, chown/chgrp/chmod to adjust permissions
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> nintnint: it does a lot actually
[21:43] <TeLe_ghost> lol ^
[21:43] <nintnint> i mean that you won't support it
[21:43] <nintnint> i still got the information

[21:47] <deviad> I want no effect on Firefox and Skype

[21:47] <deviad> When I watch movies on megavideo I'm getting issues...
[21:47] <deviad> I get some issues*
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> deviad: i'd ask in #compiz

[21:48] <jarray52> I'm using Ubuntu 9.10. Inserting a flash drive causes the system to freeze. USB mouse and keyboard work in all USB ports, and a USB printer does not work but does not cause the system to freeze. I tried acpi=force irqpoll option in grub, but it had no effect. Any suggestions or diagnostic steps I could carry out?
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: the server install just doesnt have a desktop by default and the kernel is slightly different
[21:49] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: ok

[21:50] <bastid_raZor> !upstart | Apachez
[21:50] <guest> bastid_raZor, it was there normally (before i added this disk to fstab), so i'd figure id use the same mountpoint
[21:50] <acrobat> i used unetbootin to install ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso on a usb stick -- when i boot it it says "no operating system found"
[21:51] <jarray52> shawn146: What problem are you experiencing?
[21:51] <guest> acrobat, have you set your bios to mount USB stick ?
[21:51] <DasEi> acrobat: set bios to boot usb ?

[21:52] <techwizrd> ipatrol: What help do you need?
[21:52] <DasEi> acrobat: formated usb to fat 32 or 16 before using unetb.  ?
[21:52] <bastid_raZor> guest: understand that Ubuntu is case sensitive. /media/Backup is not the same as /media/BACKUP .. create the mount point with sudo mkdir /media/BACKUP   then type sudo mount -a ..if no errors then it mounted fine
[21:52] <shawn146> not yet
[21:52] <acrobat> DasEi: no its ext2
[21:52] <acrobat> Can i boot directly into a raid1 array or do i need a boot partition?
[21:52] <jarray52> shawn146: That is a modification to the /etc/default/grub file
[21:52] <DasEi> acrobat: do with fat
[21:52] <acrobat> DasEi: pl
[21:52] <acrobat> ok

[21:53] <ActionParsnip> shawn146: see if it helps
[21:53] <DasEi> acrobat: you always need /boot  either on sdXX or mdX
[21:53] <guest> bastid_raZor, I get: mount: mount point /sda1/BACKUP does not exist
[21:53] <acrobat> DasEi: no you dont
[21:53] <techwizrd> ipatrol: Ok. What's the question, or do you just need someone to help you through the install process? I can do either.

[21:59] <techwizrd> ipatrol: When you boot off of the LiveCD, Select "Try Ubuntu without making any changes to my system". Then when it boots to a desktop, open System Testing from the System > Administration menu. You can test hardware compatibility issues there (eg. Sound, Video, Networking, etc.)
[21:59] <jarray52> usr13: Very cold indeed. That's a good suggestion. Let me try it.

[21:59] <usr13> goose: chmod +x script.sh ; ./script.sh

[21:59] <DasEi> acrobat: this or use gparted, it's safer

[22:00] <goose> usr13: lol, it's ok. can ; be used to replace &&? I had no idea
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> goose: if not then you can put it in /usr/bin and call it in startup items under preferences
[22:00] <acrobat> DasEi: so mkfs.ext2 on it?
[22:00] <shawn146> actionparsnip?

[22:01] <ipatrol> My son has really fsck'd up his XP

[22:02] <acrobat> DasEi: after i make an fat32 partition do i need to mkfs or what?
[22:02] <usr13> goose: I suppose a first part of your scrip could: say  su - user-name-here
[22:03] <bastid_raZor> guest: you may need to run umount with sudo also.

[22:07] <usr13> goose: you left out the -  I think you need the  -  ?
[22:07] <axon> ali3n : what do you mean with dell 1509?
[22:07] <guntbert> kc8pxy--: sorry  - have a look at !usb
[22:07] <techwizrd> ipatrol: Sorry, I accidentally kicked out my ethernet cable.
[22:08] <mka> ali3n, paste lspci | grep -i wireless
[22:08] <goose> usr13: in shell, I can change user simply with "su ircd", for a bash script do I need it to be "su - ircd" ?
[22:08] <kc8pxy--> !usb
[22:08] <nmvictor> what are the valid port numbers in linux and is their a man page describing the port numbers and how one is supposed to choose them?
[22:09] <usr13> goose: Ok... well, alrighty
[22:09] <mka> VCoolio, do you get the same behaviour with mpc ?
[22:09] <guest> bastid_raZor, unmounted the drive, then did sudo mount -a, it jumped to next line... mounted the BACKUP again... still have 2 drives, top one works, bottom one gets error: mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /media/BACKUP busy
[22:09] <guest> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /media/BACKUP
[22:09] <usr13> goose: but don't you need  #!/bin/sh -e
[22:09] <guntbert> nmvictor: have a look at /etc/services
[22:09] <usr13> or something...
[22:09] <VCoolio> mka: don't know, but if you mean 'other clients' quodlibet is fine but ario is also weird
[22:09] <erUSUL> nmvictor: like in any other OS port numbers are 0-65536 the first 1024 are reserved for root
[22:09] <goose> usr13: I have no idea :S
[22:09] <erUSUL> nmvictor: clients choose a random free port
[22:10] <iWolf> Is Palimpsest Disk Utility Really Sensitive?
[22:10] <usr13> goose: Or just #!/bin/sh  on first line.
[22:10] <bastid_raZor> guest: remove the link to the bottom one in nautilus.
[22:10] <ali3n> shawn@zeus:~$ lspci | grep -i wireless
[22:10] <ali3n> shawn@zeus:~$
[22:10] <ali3n> nothing lol
[22:10] <iWolf> Because It Says I Have 213380662 Bad Sectors
[22:10] <iWolf> :OOO
[22:10] <mka> VCoolio, try this "mpc clear && mpc ls | mpc add && mpc play"
[22:10] <iWolf> (Wrong Tab, Sorry)
[22:11] <guest> bastid_raZor, i can't, it's greyed-out
[22:11] <VCoolio> mka: hang on, installing mpc
[22:11] <khelvan> Hi, I set up Compiz through CCSM, but when I try to disable it through System-Preferences-Appearance-Visual Effects it doesn't fully disable it. Any ideas how I can fully disable compiz?
[22:12] <iWolf> Hello, I have a problem
[22:12] <iWolf> And It's A Sort Of A Big One
[22:12] <bastid_raZor> guest: i do not use nautilus all that often. possibly ask the channel for help with that. the drive does mount automatically now. possibly relog to see if now that it mounts correctly the 2nd link is gone.
[22:12] <mka> VCoolio, you may find gmpc useful as well, its a GUI
[22:12] <jarray52> usr13: When I watched the log messages as I plugged in the usb drive. I got several messages. The last being USB Mass Storage Registered. Do you know what happens after the USB Mass Storage is Registered?
[22:12] <axon> iWolf - so what is it
[22:12] <axon> ?
[22:12] <guntbert> iWolf: correct window now ?
[22:12] <VCoolio> why does my apt server (nl.ubuntu.archive.com or something like that) take two minutes (exactly two minutes) before it does anything?
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> khelvan: press alt+f2    type   metacity --replace    press enter
[22:13] <usr13> goose: well, just put  #!/bin/sh  on first line, just for the fun of it.
[22:13] <iWolf> It says my disk has 213380662 bad sectors
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> iWolf: yowser
[22:13] <kaddi_> it's a gonner
[22:13] <guest> ok, will do... thanks for all your help bastid_raZor it solved my main problem, now i can automatically backup with backintime
[22:13] <usr13> jarray52: No that is usually the last message you'll get.
[22:13] <jarray52> iWolf: bad sectors or reallocated sectors?
[22:13] <iWolf> (I've used Ubuntu before, just trying it on a old computer)
[22:13] <iWolf> It is still NTFS
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> VCoolio: try a duifferent repo
[22:13] <iWolf> As I selected try Ubuntu
[22:13] <goose> usr13: yeah I added it.
[22:13] <iWolf> To test the disk
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> iWolf: probably an old drive too
[22:14] <VCoolio> mka: thanks, but I'm going really lightweight now, just giving ncmpcpp a try; it's not like I'm short of clients (tried sonata, ario, quodlibet) ;)
[22:14] <iWolf> It's a Dell D430
[22:14] <axon> can anyone explain me how to install a wireless network to connect two computers
[22:14] <guntbert> !wireless | axon
[22:14] <iWolf> ATA SAMSUNG HS08XJC
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> axon: +
[22:14] <bastid_raZor> VCoolio: how was quodlibet?
[22:14] <crankharder> how do I flash my BIOS when it's only available as an EXE?
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> axon: network manager can be used to create an adhok connection
[22:14] <mka> VCoolio, ok, but mpc is not "other client"
[22:15] <jarray52> crankharder: Would love to know the answer to your question. Are you using HP?
[22:15] <VCoolio> bastid_raZor: that's a fine client as far as I'm concerned, lot of features
[22:15] <Dr_Willis> crankharder:  is it a windows exe or a dos exe? if its dos - You could boot with a freedos live cdn and run it
[22:15] <KBA3> дарова усем
[22:15] <guntbert> !ru | KBA3
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> crankharder: you can extract it to find a .BIN file which you can then install in a DOS boot disk. Or you can use something like BartPE (you will need an XP CD to make it) and boot to a live Windows environment and run it
[22:16] <VCoolio> mka: after your command, one of the lines says ERROR: problems opening audio device
[22:16] <DrManhattan> jussi01, initramfs unable to find a medium containing a live file system  - I have a system with an ide cdrom and an sata hard drive - I have tried the irqpoll and all-generic-ide boot options but nothing appears to help.
[22:16] <DrManhattan> oops
[22:16] <jarray52> usr13: Do you have any other suggestions regarding the system crash?
[22:16] <iWolf> This might help you with my problem
[22:16] <DrManhattan> I am getting the error- initramfs unable to find a medium containing a live file system  - I have a system with an ide cdrom and an sata hard drive - I have tried the irqpoll and all-generic-ide boot options but nothing appears to help.
[22:16] <iWolf> Ubuntu is not installed yet
[22:16] <nmvictor> erUSUL: thanks, so i have an application which failed upon launching, citing the reason as "HTTP: Opening server at port 13000... Bind failed...System error 98: Address already in use..." so i was guesing that i had assigned an unacceptible port number or a number used by some other process.Why do you think the application failed?
[22:16] <iWolf> And the system is still NTFS
[22:17] <DrManhattan> i am trying to boot the livecd
[22:17] <iWolf> Does that matter at all???
[22:17] <erUSUL> nmvictor: the later the port is already in use
[22:17] <usr13> jarray52:  Were you watching  from tty8  or did you use  tail -f /var/log/messages ?
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> iWolf: the filesystem is moot, if the disk is bad its gonna be bad no matter what OS is on it or even if its just user data
[22:17] <mka> VCoolio, I don't know what that means. do you mind restarting mpd?
[22:17] <|newbie|> kuda
[22:17] <VCoolio> mka: also (or because of that): volume n/a ; that seems not good; but it doesn't say why; hang on, I don't mind
[22:17] <erUSUL> nmvictor: run « sudo lsof -i :13000 » to see what process is already binded to that port
[22:18] <LyCris> |newbie|:  ;D
[22:18] <nmvictor> erUSUL: thanks, letme
[22:18] <jarray52> tail -f /var/log/messages . When you initially said it, I didn't realize that it allows you to watch as you plug in the drive.
[22:18] <VCoolio> mka: the same
[22:18] <rumik> #milovanie
[22:18] <jarray52> usr13: I was using the tail -f /var/log/messages
[22:19] <kralhabo> huda
[22:20] <LyCris> kralhabo:
[22:20] <LyCris> :D
[22:20] <usr13> jarray52: df ; free ; top ; etc,...
[22:20] <kralhabo> what
[22:20] <guntbert> !ot | kralhabo LyCris
[22:20] <LyCris> guntbert:  sory
[22:20] <iWolf> So even if the filesystem is NTFS it wont give me a false bad-sector reading
[22:20] <usr13> jarray52: How close to being maxed out is the  system... etc.
[22:20] <mka> VCoolio, looks like the problem is with your soundcard configuration not mpd/mpc
[22:21] <mka> VCoolio, maybe rebooting might help
[22:21] <usr13> jarray52: Do you have some runaway application running... some app with memory leak or.... what ever... could be a number of things, maybe un-related to the usb device.  But Would have to know what the USB device is and all that too.  I just don't know.
[22:22] <VCoolio> mka: ok, I'll see next time, thx so far; I'll google some more
[22:22] <jarray52> usr13: The file system is using less than 20GB and 100+GB remain.
[22:22] <akos_>  Hello! I am trying to set up virtualbox on an ubuntu 9.10 host with Windows XP as guest. I am trying to forward my USB->Serial converter port to the guest OS (I am doing embedded programming, and need it to program the devices), but it will not work. The port is recognized in XP, but I fail to communicate with the programmer through it...
[22:22] <akos_>  I tried putting the serial as "host device" /dev/ttyUSB0, with IRQ4, addr. 0x378
[22:22] <jarray52> usr13: I killed all the unnecessary apps.
[22:22] <nmvictor> erUSUL: thans again, wish other channels were as coperative as #ubuntu, no wonder its has the highest number of nicks , and hope you are enjoying your NEW YEAR
[22:23] <iWolf> ActionParsnip: So even if my filesystem is still NTFS, it won't give me any false readings?
[22:23] <erUSUL> nmvictor: no problem; happy new year to you too ;)
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> iWolf: can't imagine so, i'd download the manufacturers testing tool. You will mot likely find its also on the ultimate boot CD. This will test it very indepth to see whats going on
[22:24] <usr13> jarray52: Is this a fully updated 9.10 system?
[22:24] <nvme_> how do i configure ubuntu so that it gets internet from my wireless connection and only LAN from wired connection ?
[22:24] <ljamisonii> hello all...does anyone have experience with cross-compilers?
[22:25] <jarray52> usr13: Less than 10% disk usage and several GB of free RAM.
[22:26] <waremperor> Have a good night, irc world :]
[22:26] <jarray52> usr13: I appreciate the suggestions. Thanks.
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> nvme_: use the route command to set the default gateway for all traffic to go through the wireless and set the route for adresses on your network (most likely 192.168.0.0) to go via the wired connection
[22:27] <edbian> I'm looking for a very lightweight distribution that will save a lot of battery power by only running firefox. Does such a thing exist?
[22:27] <usr13> jarray52: Is this a laptop?
[22:27] <usr13> jarray52: Or desktop?
[22:27] <jarray52> usr13: desktop
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> edbian: running fewer apps wont save battery
[22:28] <anon65> edbian; you can do that with arch linux
[22:28] <FiReSTaRT> edbian: xubuntu's pretty good on that count.. lighter weight desktop and decent power management
[22:28] <iKernel> edbian, or you could run Chromium
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> edbian: you can install a minimal ubuntu then just install firefox
[22:28] <usr13> Check your powersupply, it may be a bit weak for the job.  If it is 300w try a 400w
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> !minimal | edbian
[22:28] <iKernel> edbian, which is an extremely lightweight OS with the sole purpose of being able to surf the web. I don't think it's Linux though.
[22:28] <edbian> ActionParsnip: Well I think it will because I won't be wasting processor power on things like ssh servers and things.  Right?
[22:29] <jarray52> usr13: It has a 1000W power supply, which isn't being fully utilized. So, I think that's okay.
[22:29] <anon65> edbian; you can install arch and literally only have firefox running and the stuff required for sound and video
[22:29] <edbian> iKernel: Is it available?
[22:29] <anon65> anda desktop of course
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> edbian: you can also install xpud for a very minimal and fast booting system (less than 3 seconds) which has a very low set of hardware drivers and few apps
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> ChromiumnOS - is a ubuntu variant. :)
[22:29] <iKernel> edbian, tbh what anon65 just suggested sounds much better. Chromium is only in its infancy. It works, but I'm not sure how easy it is for just anybody to install.
[22:29] <pawel_121_> PuppyLinux is very lightweight Linux OS
[22:29] <edbian> anon65: I looked into arch once.  I thought of that.  I was hoping there was somebody who basically did that for me with arch
[22:29] <usr13> jarray52: If it's not defective, well, that's probably not it.  Other than that, I just don't know. Try some other USB device.
[22:30] <iKernel> edbian, what ActionParsnip just said sounds even better
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> edbian: the cpu still runs the same
[22:30] <edbian> ActionParsnip: is xpud a distribution?
[22:30] <anon65> the documentation is really good and will guide you through installing everything edbian
[22:30] <usr13> jarray52: if one thing doesn't work, try another.
[22:30] <edbian> anon65: The docs for what?
[22:30] <jarray52> usr13: It works with all mice and keyboards. It freezes with all USB flash drives.
[22:30] <anon65> for arch
[22:30] <Dr_Willis> is XPUD even at a useable state at this time? last time i tried it.. it did.. well.. basically nothing >:)
[22:31] <jarray52> usr13: Troubleshooting is difficult sometimes.
[22:31] <edbian> anon65: Yeah I like arch :)  Takes a lot of time to set up though
[22:31] <FiReSTaRT> edbian: iirc xpud is ubuntu based.. a buddy ran it off a live cd last night and it looked pretty cool for those who want things simple and intuitive.... i still prefer gnome (just wishing it wasn't buggy as hell)
[22:31] <anon65> yeah that is true, but you'd get a very minimal system with just what you want
[22:31] <jarray52> usr13: Even though the problem wasn't resolved, I learned several things from your suggestions.
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> edbian: its a distribution of linux, its not ubuntu based
[22:31] <Dr_Willis> anon65:  theres also 'tiny core linux' 10mb for the base + whatever you install.
[22:32] <jarray52> usr13: Thanks
[22:32] <edbian> ActionParsnip: arch or xpud?
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> edbian: xpud
[22:32] <edbian> ActionParsnip: I know what arch is
[22:32] <edbian> ActionParsnip: So both then :)
[22:32] <iKernel> My vote is on xpud
[22:32] <nmvictor> whats an access logfile?
[22:32] <FiReSTaRT> edbian: listen to ActionParsnip.. my apologies for misinforming you (i myself was misinformed on that)
[22:32] <edbian> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> edbian: theres also feather linux, damnsmall linux, puppy
[22:32] <edbian> FiReSTaRT: No worries
[22:32] <edbian> ActionParsnip: Does running entirely from ram save battery?  I imagine it would what with the power it takes to spin my HDD
[22:32] <usr13> jarray52: It freezes with ALL usb devices?  Hummm.. Are you using USB mouse?
[22:33] <iKernel> I might install xpud myself, sounds like a really good thing to have with a laptop which has a crappy battery and no mains supply available
[22:33] <usr13> jarray52: What other USB devices are you using?
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> edbian: sure will, you can tell the drive to spindown
[22:33] <deviad> Can anyone pls suggest me a flash player? I'm getting issues while playing movies. :P
[22:33] <anon65> yeah, xpud looks interesting
[22:33] <jarray52> usr13: It freezes only with USB flash drives. It never freezes with a USB mouse or keyboard or printer.
[22:33] <Dr_Willis> deviad:  theres basically only the adobe flash player.
[22:33] <edbian> ActionParsnip: Well like puppy for example runs entirely in ram (no HDD touching at all until you save files)
[22:33] <Dr_Willis> deviad:  and yes.. it has issues. :)
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> anon65: its fast but wifi is a bit of a pain to setup
[22:34] <iKernel> ActionParsnip, can xpud be booted from grub?
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> deviad: for offline viewing?
[22:34] <jarray52> usr13: All USB ports work with a mouse or keyboard. I plugged the mouse into all the USB ports, and it worked.
[22:34] <iKernel> ActionParsnip, does it have a partitioner during install?
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> iKernel: sure, you can boot the img file
[22:34] <Dr_Willis> iKernel:  i imagine it can. i wonder if the ISO of xpud can be booted via grub2 :)
[22:34] <deviad> ActionParsnip, I was talking about online video streaming
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> iKernel: xpud has no installer
[22:34] <tr_> Whe I click on Places>Home or Places>anything, I get an hourglass like nautilus is doing something, then it fails with no message.. how can I troubleshoot this?
[22:35] <iKernel> oh
[22:35] <jarray52> usr13: I also tried printers. It can't find the CUPS service, but it doesn't freeze the system.
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> deviad: then use the adobe plugin for your browser
[22:35] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  Hmm.. may have to add that to my uber-list-of-disrtos on the grub  menu on this box. :)
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: fun fun fun, boots in 3 seconds her on 1.6Ghz 2Gb DDR2 SATA HDD
[22:36] <iKernel> Dr_Willis, it can indeed, there are even instructions on xpud's homepage
[22:36] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  yea. been using the 'boot iso feature' of grub2 to get Ubuntu and 2+ variants of ubuntu and some other disrtos into the Grub2 menu
[22:36] <usr13> jarray52: But how many USB devices do you have connected now?
[22:36] <FiReSTaRT> tr_: just open terminal, type nautilus /home/username/Documents and note down what messages come out.. you can google them and/or file a bug report
[22:36] <Guest72055> DasEi - Hey, I'm back! (The one trying to get sound working under CrunchBang 8.10, new Guest # because of reboot). Good news, it's working!
[22:36] <Dr_Willis> Gee now if only xpud had a PPC version
[22:36] <deviad> ActionParsnip, I have a weird flickering effect
[22:36] <deviad> when I reproduce videos...
[22:36] <FiReSTaRT> tr_: getting this particular message is normal on my system where nautilus works just fine: (nautilus:25586): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean: assertion `preferences_is_initialized ()' failed
[22:36] <tr_> FiReSTaRT: thanks, i'll try that now..
[22:36] <UbuntuUser> Hi all! I have a problem with fglrx and minimizing of UrbanTerror
[22:37] <UbuntuUser> http://www12.file-upload.net/01.01.10/ct22dplfxry5.jpg
[22:37] <usr13> jarray52: Look at   lsusb -vv
[22:37] <DartmanX> stupid question: is there a way to get the make/model of a pci card without opening up and looking at the card?
[22:37] <Guest72055> DasEi - The key tricks seem to be: 1) loading the snd-es18xx module, and 2) adding my user ID to the "audio" group.
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> deviad: can you use: http://pastebin.com    to give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf
[22:37] <deviad> I'm using adoe at the moment
[22:37] <deviad> but I tried swfdec to see if it was the problem
[22:37] <Guest72055> DasEi - Not sure what, if any, of the other stuff you helped me with might have had an impact, but I wanted to say thanks very much for your assistance!
[22:37] <iKernel> ActionParsnip, do you know which file I need to edit to add an entry for xpud in grub2? I'm new to grub2
[22:37] <usr13> jarray52: Power for USB devices is limited to about 500mA I think and if that is exceeded, I'm not sure what, but something quits working.
[22:38] <UbuntuUser> if I minimize UrbanTerror and maximize it again, it looks like on this screenshot
[22:38] <DasEi> Guest72055: fine, I got it on desk first time, it's really a complete different surface, anyway ad the module to /etc/modules
[22:38] <Xfact> AVG and Avast distributing anti virus for linux....but really we need any kind of anti virus for Ubuntu?
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> iKernel: me too, i put the img on usb
[22:38] <iKernel> usr13, I'd say it kills one of the usb devices to free up power
[22:38] <iKernel> fair enough
[22:38] <iKernel> I don't have a usb stick. well I do, but the slider is screwed
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> deviad: can you provide the output of the command
[22:39] <DasEi> Guest72055: and also a reboot could have helped the init with new alsa
[22:39] <usr13> iKernel: Well, in jarray52's case, it kills the whole system.
[22:39] <tr_> FiReSTaRT: wierd, I get nothing... no message returned or apparent action.... 'nautilus /home/tr/'
[22:39] <iKernel> usr13, lol
[22:39] <Guest72055> DasEi - Yes, I will do that. Question: I have another box just like this one -- would loading the module in the LiveCD environment prior to installing the system make a difference in the way it's set up?
[22:39] <nisstyre65> Xfact; there's definitely possibility for finding exploits in any linux system
[22:39] <kaddi_> Xfact: mostly when you do a lot of file sharing with windows machines. I would only use it to make sure you do not pass on infected files to windows users, right now there isn't really malware for ubuntu
[22:39] <nisstyre65> keyword there is "possibility"
[22:39] <Guest72055> DasEi - Or would I likely have to go through the module-assistant steps on that box, too?
[22:40] <goose> can someone help me write a crontab? I can't understand the documentation of how to use crontab, I just need to add a single script run at startup
[22:40] <nmvictor> when you try to kill a process with sudo kill <PID> and it fails to dies, is their another option?
[22:40] <usr13> iKernel: May be a bug.
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> nmvictor: kill -9 pid
[22:40] <erUSUL> goose: to run things on startup use /etc/rc.local
[22:40] <Guest72055> goose - I think you will want to look into anacron instead of crontab.
[22:40] <iKernel> usr13, sounds to me like a bug in his physical system
[22:40] <DasEi> Guest72055: no, live goes to ram only, but it's a difference if the card is already in at install time
[22:40] <jarray521> usr13: I only have 2 devices connected to my computer. The USB flash drive would be the 3rd.
[22:40] <Guest72055> goose - As I understand it, crontab won't "catch up" on things that it wasn't awake for when the time came for the scheduled task.
[22:40] <jimlovell777> Since upgrading to Karmic (I upgraded by installing fresh, not bringing up my current version) some websites I view with Firefox get black bars on the right side of the screen that flickers on and off. Youtube videos also flicker controls while viewing. Is there a fix? An already open bug report I can add to?
[22:41] <Xfact>  kaddi_: no I do not have any touch with windows...then I need  don't any anti virus?
[22:41] <usr13> iKernel: jarray521 Could be.. hard telling
[22:41] <Guest72055> DasEi - The card was in. It just wasn't recognized.
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> nmvictor:  you only need sudo if the process is not owned by your user
[22:41] <usr13> jarray521: What are the other 2 devices?
[22:41] <Guest72055> DasEi - I'm wondering if getting it recognized prior to the installation will make the installation set it up correctly?
[22:41] <jimlovell777> Correction, Left side of the screen
[22:41] <DasEi> Guest72055: but anyway , why not use ubuntu ?
[22:41] <jarray521> usr13: Keyboard and mouse.
[22:42] <usr13> jarray521: Switcf to ps2 keyboard and mouse and try again.
[22:42] <Guest72055> DasEi - This is a VERY low-spec machine. 500MHz, 192MB RAM. I think CrunchBang is as Ubuntu as I can realistically get.
[22:42] <DasEi> Guest72055: for performance on weak machine can use it with icewm or fluxbox
[22:42] <Ollonk> do you have to recompile to install a kernel module?
[22:42] <deviad> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/m36632670
[22:42] <kaddi_> Xfact: you will be safer with an anti virus program, but right now I would say you do not need one, no
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> Guest72055: install a minimal ubuntu then install lxde  works fine here, i have systems on less than that
[22:42] <Guest72055> DasEi - Yes, CrunchBang is basically Ubuntu+OpenBox.
[22:42] <usr13> jarray521: You have ps2 ports, right?
[22:43] <DasEi> Guest72055: but unknown menu and no support , small forums
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> deviad: ok thats good
[22:43] <deviad> I still have the flickering though
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> deviad: can you give the output of: uname -a
[22:43] <Guest72055> ActionParsnip - Isn't that the planned setup for Lubuntu?
[22:43] <Infil> My 9.10 install sometimes freezes towards the end of the white logo segment. I want to find out why, but nothing gets written to syslog, kern.log or messages. Where can I find some info?
[22:43] <jarray521> usr13: Yes. Should I reboot?
[22:43] <deviad> ActionParsnip, Linux deviad-laptop 2.6.31-16-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 04:02:15 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[22:43] <DasEi> Guest72055: so give you the ers then, have fun
[22:43] <paulus68> what is the common way to adapt the fstab file in ubuntu 9.10
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> Guest72055: there is, its a little lighter than xubuntu
[22:43] <DasEi> ears
[22:43] <usr13> jarray521: No, jsut try again.
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> deviad: wanna try the 64bit flash?
[22:44] <Guest72055> DasEi - True, but I still got help here. :) Thanks again!
[22:44] <Hakunamatata> hey all
[22:44] <Ollonk> how do you install a kernel module?
[22:44] <DasEi> np
[22:44] <Ollonk> O_O
[22:44] <Xfact> I heard windows male-wares are useless, just another simple file in ubuntu
[22:44] <deviad> ActionParsnip, sure, how?
[22:44] <usr13> jarray521: Well, only if you can not get response from mouse and/or keyboard after switching to ps2 ones>
[22:44] <DasEi> Ollonk: modprobe <module>
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> deviad: i'll give you a command, do you use firefox as your browser?
[22:44] <Ollonk> thank you :D
[22:44] <Dr_Willis> Xfact:  i run malware in wine to explore what it actually does to a windows box. :)
[22:44] <paulus68> usr13: I reinstalled my server now only 1 gig used and the rest of the 500 gig is nice and clean
[22:44] <deviad> ActionParsnip, yes, I use firefox and chromium as well
[22:45] <Guest72055> ActionParsnip - I read something not long ago showing Xubuntu 9.X is actually heavier than regular Ubuntu! Matches my experience, so I switched to CrunchBang for my "light" install.
[22:45] <usr13> paulus68: Very good.
[22:45] <paulus68> usr13: do you have an idea on how to edit the fstab in 9.10?
[22:45] <Xfact> but they cannot come out of 'wine' prison!
[22:45] <DasEi> paulus68: sudo gedit /etc/fstab  and :
[22:45] <DasEi> !fstab
[22:45] <Swiatecki> Hi there, can any one assist me in getting my Lenovo R61i's TrackPad to do scroling? I have tried http://psung.blogspot.com/2008/09/scrolling-with-thinkpads-trackpoint-in.html without success
[22:45] <usr13> paulus68: Now make sure that backup system you are using isn't writing backups to the HD.
[22:45] <usr13> paulus68: What do you need to do?
[22:45] <ljamisonii> question...how do you run a shell script in terminal?? I've searched on Google but couldn't find anything
[22:46] <Infil> paulus68: try Alt + F2 and enter: "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab"
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> Guest72055: you can install an official ubuntu then install the DE crunchbang comes with, you will then get support here as crunchbang is not supported here
[22:46] <usr13> paulus68: pastebinit /etc/fstab
[22:46] <Dr_Willis> ljamisonii:   chmod +x script, then ./script    is one way
[22:46] <Xfact> anybody can tell me the latest version of Wine?
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> deviad: ok I'll cater for both
[22:46] <DasEi> ljamisonii: depends on its type
[22:46] <Guest72055> ActionParsnip - Good point.
[22:46] <Dr_Willis> ljamisonii:  sh whateverscript   is another way
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> !info wine
[22:46] <nmvictor> i think the whole LINuniX conecept of processed having lives and the file system having places is what made me dump windows,never too look back
[22:46] <paulus68> usr13: want to add the harddrives to my fstab
[22:46] <Dr_Willis> ljamisonii:  bash whateverscript is another way
[22:46] <erUSUL> Xfact: 1.1.35
[22:46] <DasEi> !pm | Ollonk
[22:46] <Dr_Willis> !abs | ljamisonii
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> Xfact: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
[22:46] <Guest72055> ActionParsnip - Anyhow, score one for the Ubuntu way, since I did get help here. :) Happy New Year!
[22:46] <usr13> paulus68: USB hard drives for backups?
[22:46] <ljamisonii> Dr_Willis: you're awesome lol
[22:46] <DasEi> Ollonk : yes, these are modules
[22:46] <dooglus_> I'm trying to install ubuntu on a laptop and leave windows on it
[22:47] <ljamisonii> ubottu: much appreciation :)
[22:47] <dooglus_> the installer doesn't seem to want to let me resize the existing ntfs partitions to make space for ubuntu
[22:47] <jarray52> usr13: Using ps2 mouse and keyboard, I still had a hard freeze.
[22:47] <Dr_Willis> ljamisonii:  this is err.. 'bash scripting basics' :)   that abs guide is a must read also
[22:47] <Ollonk> thanks
[22:47] <DasEi> Ollonk : modules are like drivers to the kernel
[22:47] <Xfact> no thanks  i have the latest version
[22:47] <dooglus_> is there a guide somewhere I can follow please?
[22:47] <Ollonk> yes
[22:47] <|Slacker|> hey there folks
[22:47] <dooglus_> !install
[22:47] <Infil> dooglus_: I would recommend resizing from within Windows
[22:47] <paulus68> usr13: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/macd61a5 not only usb drives but also hardrives like I had before remember windows and windows 1
[22:48] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis: if you run !abs in #bash you'll see that they have a different opinion ;P
[22:48] <Dr_Willis> dooglus_:  you may want to scandisk/def4rag in windows first. Then if windows has the feature - use windows to resize the partition and leave part of the HD unallocated. it may be MUCH MUCH faster at that then ubuntu will be.
[22:48] <|Slacker|> is there a way I can get my ubuntu to be a wifi gateway?
[22:48] <dooglus_> Infil: the windows install it pretty fscked up though - that's why they want ubuntu
[22:48] <erUSUL> !info hostap
[22:48] <Dr_Willis> erUSUL:  who cares what they think :) they got a better guide? let them post it to the repos. :)
[22:48] <dooglus_> Dr_Willis: I've chkdsk/r'ed in windows first
[22:48] <usr13> jarray52: Well, I guess that eliminates power issue.  I think it's a bug.  You should file a bug report.  Is this a 64 bit system?
[22:48] <dooglus_> Dr_Willis: the windows is all infected I think
[22:48] <erUSUL> !info hostapd
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> deviad: http://pastebin.com/mdb2e1e0
[22:49] <Infil> My 9.10 install sometimes freezes towards the end of the white logo segment. I want to find out why, but nothing gets written to syslog, kern.log or messages. Where can I find some info?
[22:49] <jarray52> usr13: Yes. It's a 64 bit system.
[22:49] <ljamisonii> Dr_Willis: I used the bash <script> command and it returned 'sh: Can't open configure'
[22:49] <Ollonk> I'm trying to load the eeepc kernel module in karmic
[22:49] <LJR> dooglus_, if Windows is all infected why're you trying to save it?
[22:49] <Ollonk> and I've never done anything like this before
[22:49] <dooglus_> LJR: I want the data from it
[22:49] <Dr_Willis> ljamisonii:  the 'proper' way is to chmod +x the file, then ./thefile
[22:49] <erUSUL> ljamisonii: is a configure script? are you compiling software?
[22:49] <LJR> dooglus_, I see.
[22:49] <Dr_Willis> ljamisonii:  depending on the script.
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> deviad: its alpha but works perfectly here
[22:50] <l0wkey> hello .. can somebody help me with dm-crypt / luks on boot after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 ? I have problems with entering passphrase on boot?
[22:50] <usr13> jarray52: I think you need to file a bug report.
[22:50] <l0wkey> has this become borken again or what? what has changed?
[22:50] <usr13> !bug | jarray52
[22:50] <dooglus_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall seems to be out of date
[22:50] <dooglus_> where's the up to date install doc?
[22:51] <jarray52> usr13: Is there a guide to filing bug reports?
[22:51] <ljamisonii> erUSUL: yes, actually...I've been trying to get Halo PC working on Wine and in the instructions on winehq's website, this one person gives a compile script to fic it...so I had to figure out how to compile >_<
[22:51] <Hakunamatata> excuse me could yout tell me sth about shell accounts ?
[22:51] <Xfact> finally succeed to install latest 190 version on ubuntu...8.04 thanks to 'coz_'
[22:51] <SpookyET> Hello. Does anyone know of a command line BPM (Beats Per Minute) calculator for MP3s and other music files?
[22:51] <DasEi> !bug | jarray52
[22:51] <jarray52> usr13: SHouldn't I know more about the cause of the bug?
[22:51] <erUSUL> !compile | ljamisonii
[22:51] <paulus68> usr13: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/macd61a5 not only usb drives but also hardrives like I had before remember windows and windows 1
[22:52] <Hakunamatata> who knows sth about ssh accounts ??
[22:52] <jarray52> DasEi: How do I know which package has the bug?
[22:52] <Ollonk> do I need to place my module any place specific in order for modprobe to find it?
[22:52] <ActionParsnip> Hakunamatata: in what way?
[22:52] <usr13> jarray52: Just provice all the info you can.  lsusb -vv  ; lapci ; cat /proc/cpuinfo ; cat /proc/meminfo ; sudo fstab -l  ;  etc etc.
[22:52] <Dr_Willis> ljamisonii:  what instructions for halo?  they give it a GOLD rateing. :) lets check the comments...
[22:53] <dooglus_> this should be an easy one, guys.  how can I set up a dual boot?
[22:53] <DasEi> jarray52: I haven't been following in before, whats your issue ?
[22:53] <xsssx> is there any way to run a ubuntu remix on a 128MB RAM notebook?
[22:53] <DasEi> !dualboot | dooglus_
[22:53] <Hakunamatata> ActionParsnip: couse what have i do to make my own server ?
[22:53] <Xfact>  irc node has any spacial channel for discussion on wine????
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> xsssx: it will run badly, its ironically quite heavy
[22:53] <piyo> how to list all the packages that are marked as Auto in aptitude?+
[22:54] <paulus68> usr13: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/macd61a5 not only usb drives but also hardrives like I had before remember windows and windows 1
[22:54] <DasEi> Xfact : ##winehq
[22:54] <dooglus_> DasEi: that link is incorrect
[22:54] <usr13> paulus68: plug them in and mount them and do  mount | pastebinit
[22:54] <yfk> why is adobe flash for Linux so broken?
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> dooglus_: easiest way is to install the first OS but leave unpartitioned space, the installer will then see the free space and offer to use it
[22:54] <jarray52> DasEi: Ubuntu 9.10 hard freezes when I insert a USB flash drive.
[22:54] <ljamisonii> Dr_Willis: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2720&iTestingId=14752
[22:54] <dooglus_> DasEi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot?action=show&redirect=WindowsDualBootHowTo#Resizing%20Partitions%20Using%20the%20Ubuntu%20Installer tells me "Choose the First Option (It should be something like: "Resize IDE1 master, partition #1 (hda1) and use freed space"). " - but that option isn't there
[22:54] <erUSUL> !clone | piyo the command here should head you
[22:54] <yuricurri> hello
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> yfk: runs great here
[22:54] <Dr_Willis> yfk:  becauze adobe dosent care about linux. is my guess
[22:54] <deviad> ActionParsnip, much better player, although I still have this flickering
[22:54] <dooglus_> ActionParsnip: the first OS was installed 6 years ago, so that's not an option
[22:54] <piyo> !clone
[22:54] <ljamisonii> Dr_Willis: it's the comment titled "SOLVED: haloupdate.exe error
[22:54] <deviad> ActionParsnip, can it be a video driver issue?
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> dooglus_: ok then you can resize the other OS to make space
[22:55] <deviad> I notice it just when I chose "full screen"
[22:55] <yuricurri> does linux have a unstoppable copy variant, cause that program wont work on my computer.
[22:55] <Dr_Willis> ljamisonii:  you do see the note  at the top of that url 'YOU are looking at old test results' ? the newer results give simpiler directions
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> deviad: possibly, make sure you run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove     to remove nspluginwrapper if its no longer needed
[22:55] <Dr_Willis> ljamisonii:  http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2720    is what i was looking at
[22:55] <Hakunamatata> ActionParsnip:  i want only to make sth like tunel shh for some aplication
[22:56] <DasEi> jarray52: that would be usb-utils, but I don't think it's right to fill a bug about that paket, is your sys updated and graded,  did you check all logs for additional hints ? dmesg ?
[22:56] <dooglus_> ActionParsnip: the other OS is all virus'ed up, so I can't boot it reliably.  I'd like to use the 9.10 desktop ISO to resize it.  it's ntfs, but I don't see the option to do that.  any idea where it is?
[22:56] <yfk> ActionParsnip, it doesen't run "great". try hitting this nastypanda.com
[22:56] <deviad> ActionParsnip, I did that already :(
[22:56] <yfk> Dr_Willis, It's like It's intentionally broken
[22:56] <deviad> I'm using 185 nvidia proprietary drivers
[22:57] <deviad> nvidia 185*
[22:57] <jarray52> DasEi: No. I don't have too much experience with Ubuntu. Thus, I think it might not be good for me to file a bug report.
[22:57] <ljamisonii> Dr_Willis: I was looking at this one and it displayed the same comment. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2720&iTestingId=46499
[22:57] <jarray52> DasEi: My system is upto date.
[22:57] <yfk> and takes so much System recourses... kinda difficult to believe It's using them for a reason
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> deviad: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa   try the nvidia ppa
[22:57] <Dr_Willis> ljamisonii:  you could install/update on a windows box.. then copuy the updated files over to the linux side also i guess...
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> !resize | dooglus_
[22:57] <Dr_Willis> ljamisonii:  it seems odd that only  a few people have that  issue.
[22:58] <deviad> ActionParsnip, what does ppa stand for?
[22:58] <Swiatecki> Can any one assist me in getting my Lenovo R61i's TrackPad to do scroling? I have tried http://psung.blogspot.com/2008/09/scrolling-with-thinkpads-trackpoint-in.html without success
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> dooglus_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[22:58] <DasEi> jarray52: unless you really focussed the problem and also can replicate it on other machines, there is no reason for a bug report
[22:58] <Vimes> Hello! I deleted Ubuntu (due to that I just got a new computer who will run Ubuntu) ...but I deleted it the idiot way. Just deleted the partition, now GRUB wont let me boot into Windows 7 : / Any quick fix?
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | deviad
[22:58] <Vimes> I don't have the install disk for Windows
[22:58] <yuricurri> anyone here use unstoppable copy
[22:58] <dooglus_> ActionParsnip: that page seems to be wrong.  I don't see what it says I should see
[22:59] <DasEi> Vimes: ask ##windows for howto fix mbr
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> dooglus_: there are parts there on how to resize
[22:59] <snake> Vimes: torrentz dot com
[22:59] <Vimes> lol
[22:59] <ljamisonii> Dr_Willis: I know..it DOES seem odd. Everything works perfectly up until I run haloupdate.exe...it downloads the update and goes through the update process then displays an error message.
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> dooglus_: section 3:3
[22:59] <Vimes> I'll ty DaseEi ^
[22:59] <Vimes> ^^
[22:59] <dooglus_> ActionParsnip: yes, but I can't follow the instructions.  it tells me to click things that I don't see
[22:59] <DasEi> Vimes:then d/l  super grub disk and try to fix it
[22:59] <jarray52> DasEi: I have not focused the problem, and I cannot reproduce it on other machines. I won't file a bug report until I can do that.
[22:59] <dooglus_> ActionParsnip: section 3.3 is "Resizing partitions with Windows Vista".  I'm NOT buying Vista!
[23:00] <dooglus_> ActionParsnip: could I be looking at the wrong page?
[23:00] <xsssx> lol
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> dooglus_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot#Resizing Partitions Using the Ubuntu Installer
[23:00] <piyo> thanks erUSUL
[23:00] <Vimes> I'll look into super grrub Daesi, thank's
[23:00] <erUSUL> piyo: no problem
[23:00] <snake> Why do I hear so much talk about winblows on an ubuntu server
[23:00] <dooglus_> ActionParsnip: that URL has spaces in it?
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> dooglus_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[23:01] <nigtv> Hi. So I was in here last night talking with a few people on harddrive issues, I'll skip the long story and just say that although I don't seem to be able to boot off of this harddrive at all since it crashed (seemingly for no reason), its been detected in every computer I've put it in, as well as passing IDE diagnostic tests.
[23:01] <snake> oh dual boot k srry
[23:01] <dooglus_> ActionParsnip: it tells me to chose options that don't exist
[23:01] <jarray52> DasEi: What should I look for in dmesg? When checking syslog and messages with tail -f, I see 6 to 8 messages ending with USB Mass Storage Registered after inserting the flash drive and before the system freezes.
[23:01] <dooglus_> the first option isn't "resize"
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> dooglus_: look on the right panel, it says "Resizing Partitions Using the Ubuntu Installer"
[23:01] <dooglus_> there is no "resize" option
[23:01] <clark3934> Can anyone assist me with setting up samba?  I want my server to share 2 usb attached NTFS/FAT-32 drives with read/write access for all anonymous users in my subnet.  I have users on Windows XP/VIsta/7 and Ubuntu, and accounts are shared by many.  How should I set up permissions on my server?  It's not headless--in fact, there will be a user (not admin) logged it at all times, so the USB mounting seems to be messing thing
[23:01] <clark3934> s up.  Any advice/guides?  I can't find any relevant ones.
[23:01] <dooglus_> ActionParsnip: right.  but the text in that section doesn't match what I see in 9.10's installer
[23:02] <nigtv> I'm wondering where I should go from here, I would like to get the data on there, I am going to try to use a live cd, one more time, they have not been booting but a good quality cdr. I mainly just am wondering if there is any feasible way to tell if a harddrive is really dead.
[23:02] <dooglus_> ActionParsnip: would you like to see a screenshot?
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> dooglus_: thats all i know, the installer has the steps included as far as I know
[23:03] <meway> wtf fail
[23:03] <meway> The program 'ndiswrapper' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper: command not found root@Odis-desktop:~# apt-get install ndiswrapper-common Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done ndiswrapper-common is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. root@Odis-desktop:~
[23:03] <dooglus_> ActionParsnip: I'm not making this up
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> dooglus_: the resizing is on the livecd
[23:03] <meway> sorry gor not pastbin 0_0
[23:03] <meway> for*
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> dooglus_: i understand but thats the kind of thing you want
[23:03] <dooglus_> ActionParsnip: I've booted the live cd, double-clicked 'install ubuntu' on the desktop, and got to step 4 or so
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> dooglus_: websearch around for more precise guides, it can be resized though
[23:03] <DasEi> jarray52: gedit /var/log/syslog  , scroll to the time the freezes occur, same for /var/log/kernlog  and after a boot with usb inserted do dmesg > dmesg.txt and look in that file, too
[23:04] <meway> can someone help me with that? ^
[23:04] <Dr_Willis> clark3934:  mount the ntfs shares from /etc/fstab  - do not let the desktp 'automount' them.  that way you can set the proper permissions for the drives
[23:04] <dooglus_> ActionParsnip: I think I'm looking at the official docs
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> dooglus_: make sure your backups are recent enough incase it goes wrong
[23:04] <Jamed> meway: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper
[23:04] <Jamed> meway: not ndiswrapper-common
[23:04] <Jeruvy> nigtv: most drives today will 'start to fail' before they die outright.  If the drive supports SMART you should use that to check it out.  fsck can also check for filesystem errors which could be indicitive of a drive failure or other causes
[23:04] <meway> um look at the
[23:04] <meway> oh ok i will try that lol
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> Jamed: why not install ndisgtk ;)
[23:05] <meway> jamed E: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper
[23:05] <Jamed> ActionParsnip: because i have no idea what that is, and my wlan runs fine without ndiswrapper stuff :)
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> meway: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> !info ndisgtk | jamed
[23:05] <clark3934> Dr_Willis: Even though they're usb-attached?  Also, what type of permissions should I set on the drives?  Who should be the owner?  I've thought about making a sambashares user/group that is the drives owner
[23:05] <nigtv> Jeruvy I'm finding it very strange that it passes this test, which I suppose could only take 20 minutes to read the size of the drive and the partition table, but it does both on 3 different computers without a snag or anything, and the harddrive is silent as it ever has been, as soon as I get this live cd burned I'll try fsck though
[23:06] <Sabioso> Hello, I'm here to talk about ubuntu philosophically, and the word's Bantu context.
[23:07] <Chelsea> Hey, I have a problem with my Acer Aspire One, OS - Ubuntu (Karmic). My cursor randomly froze after i left it sleeping for about an hour. It did this before, but i just resterted (Assuming it was a problem with X ) and it was fine. I've restarted like loads and it's still stuck. The keyboard still works, as does a USB mouse. Could anyone help me? :) Thanks for your time.
[23:07] <Dr_Willis> clark3934:  yes you can mount them based on UUID  even if they are usb conected.
[23:07] <meway> actionparsnip same error
[23:07] <deviad> ActionParsnip, In order for it work I need to install in this order kernel-source modaliases glx?
[23:07] <LJR> Sabioso, this is a support channel. If you just want to chat then you need to go to #ubuntu_offtopic
[23:07] <Sabioso> Ubuntu is not a Linux distribution, it is about the common good.
[23:07] <Swiatecki> Hi all - Can any one assist me in getting my Lenovo R61i's TrackPad to do scroling? I have tried http://psung.blogspot.com/2008/09/scrolling-with-thinkpads-trackpoint-in.html without success
[23:07] <nigtv> Chelsea freezes where?
[23:07] <Dr_Willis> clark3934:  not sure what permissions you would want/need  the ntfs-3g homepage has examples of what umask/dmask/fmask options to use for different situations.
[23:07] <LJR> Swiatecki, I have a Thinkpad r61i I'm on now.
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> deviad: shouldnt do, just add the ppa then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[23:07] <Sabioso> LJR: Okay, where is the topical channel for Ubuntu as apparently it has been hijacked?
[23:08] <Sabioso> *ubuntu
[23:08] <Chelsea> It freezes at the login screen, in the centre
[23:08] <LJR> !ot | Sambioso
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> meway: try: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade   then run the command#
[23:08] <Vimes> oh damn, I found t he Windows 7 installation files (had them on a seperate harddrive :D) but ..I can't burn them as this Live CD is currently using the drive, is it possible to "transfere" the live CD to the memory or somethin?
[23:08] <Sabioso> Why not ##ubuntu? That would make more sense.
[23:09] <Swiatecki> LJR, do you have trackpoint scrolling?
[23:09] <deviad> ActionParsnip, I see, very nice. Tomorrow morning I will read all the doc into detail. Ubuntu is becoming very interesting. :)
[23:09] <Sabioso> LJR: How can I join ##ubuntu?
[23:09] <paulus68> usr13: any reason why I can't update my repositories
[23:09] <LJR> No, but I'm on Debian. If you give me just a second I'll look up the simple way of doing it...
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> deviad: i use the ppa and run the 190 driver on my onboard 6150, works fine
[23:10] <LJR> Sambioso: there isn't a room like that.
[23:10] <Sabioso> LJR: I will try #ubuntu-offtopic, but it seems assinine for a Linux distribution to be taking over what would a channel for discussion among speakers of the Bantu language.
[23:10] <mka> Sabioso, join #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:10] <Sabioso> Okay
[23:10] <deviad> I have 8600 in this macbook pro
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> deviad: will be fine
[23:10] <mka> hahahaha
[23:10] <Chelsea> With regards to my frozen cursor problem, would it be worth running a repair from an ubuntu live CD? Or Reinstalling?
[23:11] <meway> actionparsnip same error
[23:11] <paulus68> whezn trying to update I get this error Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com' how do I solve this
[23:11] <LJR> Sambioso, freenode is a server for OpenSource software. Most Linux Distro chats are here. if you're looking for discussion on something other than Linux then Freenode's many linux distro chats probably aren't the place for you.
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> meway: its in the main repo
[23:11] <LJR> Sambioso, freenode isn't the only server. There are other servers with #ubuntu on them.
[23:11] <deviad> ActionParsnip, I got an error 1
[23:12] <meway> ActionParsnip:  what is?
[23:12] <nisstyre65> Chelsea; reinstall your login manager packages : )
[23:12] <deviad> ActionParsnip, rrors were encountered while processing:

[23:12] <mka> LJR, it's Sabioso not Sambioso
[23:12] <axon> please tell me how to create an adhoc connection between two ubuntu-8.04 systems
[23:12] <LJR> mka, Sorry, I'm only half-looking at the screen. =(
[23:12] <nisstyre65> I forget what login manager exactly ubuntu uses by default
[23:12] <nisstyre65> but
[23:12] <Chelsea> nisstyre65, also, the curson remains frozen after login (Thanks for your help)
[23:12] <paulus68> mka: whezn trying to update I get this error Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com' how do I solve this
[23:13] <nisstyre65> oh
[23:13] <clark3934> Dr_Willis: Thanks a ton.  I've been reading every thread out there, but it seems so many are out of date.
[23:13] <ActionParsnip> deviad: then you'll need to get those nailed
[23:13] <nisstyre65> okay, you can login with the shell?
[23:13] <meway> ActionParsnip: may have worked one sec lol
[23:13] <deviad> ActionParsnip, what do you mean?
[23:13] <mka> paulus68, "cat /etc/resolv.conf | pastebinit"
[23:13] <LJR> Swiatecki, I simply can't remember how to do it at this moment, but there is a way that you can scroll via holding the middle mouse button.
[23:13] <deviad> ActionParsnip, I run apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx-185?
[23:13] <LJR> Swiatecki, I'll keep looking...
[23:14] <Chelsea> nisstyre65, loging in isn't my problem, I don't think. If i put my laptop to sleep then wake it again, i can move the cursor for about two seconds, then it freezes again
[23:14] <nisstyre65> yeah, you're going to have to login with the console and gix it
[23:14] <nisstyre65> *fix
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> deviad: can you pastebin the error please
[23:14] <mka> paulus68, are you behind proxy?
[23:14] <LJR> Swiatecki, You do understand that, in Linux, we usually use the middle mouse button for copy-paste? (Primarily in CLI's)
[23:14] <paulus68> mka: no I am not
[23:15] <Swiatecki> LJR, thanks alot :D
[23:15] <dooglus_> ActionParsnip: seems there are some errors on the ntfs partition, and rather than telling me, it just doesn't show the resize option
[23:15] <mka> paulus68, ok "cat /etc/resolv.conf | pastebinit"
[23:15] <dooglus_> I'll fix the errors in windows and try again
[23:15] <shawn146> how come my sound is very crackly?
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> dooglus_: then find a different guide on resizing, it can be done
[23:15] <LJR> Swiatecki, You read this? http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint
[23:15] <nintnint> OKAY GUYS NOW I'M on Xubuntu and I still can't connect to any wireless network, and as far as I can tell I have successfully installed the drivers for the D-Link DWA-130 in ndiswrapper.
[23:15] <dooglus_> ActionParsnip: "Before resizing an NTFS, ntfsresize makes a filesystem consistency check and it refuses to progress, giving the above messages, if it found errors"
[23:15] <paulus68> mka: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m15aab55a
[23:15] <meway> ActionParsnip: it pops up and than closes right away
[23:15] <DasEi> mka : pastebinit /etc/resolv.conf      does it
[23:16] <Chelsea> shawn146, it may be a driver/soundcard compatibility problem
[23:16] <Swiatecki> LJR, I do - but im really addicted to middle button scrolling. Yes I have tried it but with out any success :(
[23:16] <DartmanX> i am victorious! I have installed the dlink GWL-D510 using ndiswrapper and its not dog slow!
[23:16] <Chelsea> shawn146, I'm not really great with card/ubuntu stuff though
[23:16] <iKernel> DartmanX, mircale
[23:16] <shawn146> oh ok
[23:16] <shawn146> i am using a c-media 5.1 surround sound card
[23:16] <LJR> Swiatecki, ok. I just wanted to make sure you knew that. There will come a day when you use that - a lot. Anywho - still looking.
[23:16] <Chelsea> shawn146, try googling for your sound card and ubuntu to see if snyone else has had the same problem
[23:16] <iKernel> How can I get rid of flashplayer-nonfree, which is the windows version of flashplayer wrapped using ndispluginwrapper, and instead install the native linux version? the windows version is giving me too many problems

[23:17] <Dr_Willis> iKernel:  how did you even install the one that uses ndiswrappers?
[23:17] <DartmanX> I havent used linux seriously since long before ndiswrapper, so I have to figure out all this newfangled stuff
[23:17] <bastid_raZor> involved: no difference at all.
[23:17] <clark3934> Dr_Willis: Although, this thread does worry me.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1306184  It seems as if fstab and 9.10 aren't working properly.

[23:20] <deviad> how do I chose what to install upon upgrade?

In OS X I right clicked it, clicked get info. And changed the permissions so that "everyone" can read and write.. But I still can't write onto it under ubuntu... HELP!
[23:25] <guest1> how to get it to work?
[23:25] <mka> guest1, what is wacom
[23:26] <jarray521> DasEi: I did some googling and found the following. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/450194 I wonder if I'm experiencing the same problem.
[23:26] <DasEi> Elling: basically install lm-sensors, run sensors-detet, have modules added to /etc/modules, then install gnome-applets, then can have an add on your toolbar showing temp

[23:26] <ian__> When I turned on my computer today my icons and everything were in different locations than when I turned off my computer.  Why would that happen?

[23:27] <mka> Wilabob, what is the filesystem type?
[23:27] <Sabioso> ian__: Seriously, it probably didn't save the icon locations
[23:27] <nvme> i have internet through wireless, and a home LAN network through eth0. for some reason connecting to eth0 bumps me off the internet, how do i fix that ?
[23:27] <Wilabob> erUSUL: I can make another partition on it, what will linux read that isn't fat32
[23:27] <ian__> Yes, I probably offended them by reinstalling ubuntu so many times I guess.
[23:28] <Wilabob> mka: Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)
[23:28] <erUSUL> Wilabob: better bet is ntfs; sad but windows dominance make it so.
[23:28] <guest1> mka: i think it is called pen tablet, not sure. but, since you are asking what is is, can you help me to get it to work?
[23:29] <nisstyre65> Wilabob; ext2 ?
[23:29] <Wilabob> nisstyre65: I need something that I can partition in OS X
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> nvme: network managers only really expect one connection. i suggest you configure the wired connection in /etc/network/interfaces

[23:30] <Wilabob> I'll just make a ntfs partiton on it.
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> ian__: it can, if a file exists it will be used
[23:31] <ian__> how would i create one?  or is there a way that it automatically generates one?
[23:31] <Wilabob> Anyway, Thanks guys! Cya later.

[23:33] <ian__> oh okay.  i just noticed that the graphics don't look as good as that last time i installed ubuntu, so maybe the display is configured differently or something.
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> nvme: then network mnager wont bother the device, it will manage the wifi only

[23:37] <Meaw> hi, how do i know if someone put patch or hacked my ubuntu server?
[23:37] <jarray521> What is an hso device or an hso enabled device?
[23:37] <Dr_Willis> Meaw:  the biggest danger to your server is proberly the admin doing somthing stupid. :)
[23:37] <Wilabob> Well, I'm back. I created a NTFS partition in mac os x and plugged it into my ubuntu computer. It says unable to mount "Ubuntu" error creating mount point: Read-only file system
[23:37] <Edgar1> i have a sound problem in ubuntu 9.10, i mean no sound
[23:37] <DasEi> Meaw: by using tools monitoring it
[23:37] <Dr_Willis> Meaw:  theres check root kit tools and other monitoring tools..
[23:38] <Edgar1> yesterday it works great, but then no more
[23:38] <Meaw> Dr_Willis, does it require a software? or comes with ubuntu?
[23:39] <Meaw> i have the server installed for special purpose but i think someone is playing on it..so i want to check out and make sure if hacked or not.
[23:39] <jarray521> Dr_Willis: patched servers can be detected using tripwire or aide
[23:39] <DasEi> Meaw: also by monitoring suspicious inet connections (like flood or response - less)
[23:39] <Edgar1> how can i fix my "no sound" problem in 9.10? i have already tested gstreamer-properties with all the devices and still not working
[23:39] <Dr_Willis> Meaw:  err.. everything is software :) except for the hardware...
[23:39] <Meaw> Dr_Willis, ok what is the checkroot tool software name
[23:39] <Guest92892> load mixer
[23:39] <Dr_Willis> Meaw:  not sure. Ive never really had to mess with it.
[23:39] <Dr_Willis> !rootkit
[23:39] <jarray521> Meaw: chroot?
[23:39] <Dr_Willis> chroot is not the same as checking root kits
[23:40] <Dr_Willis> :)
[23:40] <jarray521> sorry: chkroot
[23:40] <Dr_Willis> That soundfs better :)
[23:40] <Dr_Willis> i couldent rember how it was spelt
[23:40] <Dr_Willis> !info chkrootkit
[23:40] <Dr_Willis> Meaw:  also watch your service logs for anything suspect.
[23:40] <Dr_Willis> !info logwatch | Meaw
[23:41] <jarray521> There is also rkhunter

[23:42] <Dr_Willis> brig:  and no you cant put a new link in a Read only location. :)
[23:42] <erUSUL> brig: if the folder is read only you can not make a file (a symlink is a file) in it
[23:43] <jarray521> DasEi: Thanks for your help.
[23:43] <Wilabob> Well, I'm back. I created a NTFS partition in mac os x and plugged it into my ubuntu computer. It says unable to mount "Ubuntu" error creating mount point: Read-only file system
