[00:00] <Glowball> kinja-sheep: Thought so. If it's still the 32 bit version, I'm going to remove it and install the 64 bit alpha manually. The version I have now isn't stable anyway. Thanks for the information :)
[00:00] <Chaz> I'm trying to download the source code of x-chat with 'sudo apt-get source xchat' except it says it can't find package xchat. Any ideas?
[00:01] <kinja-sheep> Glowball: Sweet! FYI -- More details can be found at !flash64 :)
[00:01] <chriswaterguy> Anyone here using a DSL modem? Do you connect via "Auto eth0" or did you need to set up a DSL connection?
[00:01] <xteejx> xchat-gnome ??
[00:01] <qt-x> is there an equvalent software for AVRstudio or a version of avr studio 4 Gnu/linux ?
[00:01] <AJC_Z0> Glowball: Every version of the "alpha" 64 bit plugin has worked well for me on another Linux platform
[00:01] <daftykins> tried xchat-gnome Chaz ?
[00:01] <Chaz> daftykins: That's the Ubuntu maintained version, I want the community maintained version.
[00:01] <daftykins> ok sorry no idea
[00:02] <babymai> Jp82191 I found a stage1 in /usr/lib/grub/x86-64-pc and now grub successfully installed to MBR will reboot to test
[00:02] <xteejx> Chaz: xchat-gnome is the community version it's in the universe repo, its not maintained by Canonical
[00:02] <bmatt> jp82191 they sent me here :\
[00:02] <Glowball> AJC_Z0:  I had that one on Jaunty too. I don't remember why I googled for it back then... Probably it wasn't in ubuntu-restricted-extras yet?
[00:03]  * Dr_Willis likes Weechat 0.3.0 over xchat. :)
[00:03] <p1und3r> heyyy buntoids
[00:03] <Chaz> xteejx: I don't believe so. 'xchat' is community maintained, 'xchat-gnome' is canonical maintaiend
[00:03] <xteejx> Chaz: forget that, that's xchat, getting source via apt won't be possible
[00:03] <Dr_Willis> !info xchat-gnome
[00:03] <Chaz> xteejx: How come I can't get the source via apt-get?
[00:04] <Dr_Willis> everyone seems to hate xchat-gnome
[00:04] <ja660k> i do
[00:04] <Chaz> xteejx: Can you only get source for only Ubuntu maintained code?
[00:04] <Chaz> Through apt-get?
[00:04] <kinja-sheep> Dr_Willis: Except the developers!
[00:04] <legend2440> Chaz: did you enable the  source repo?
[00:04] <xteejx> Chaz: I've just succesfully downloaded the source
[00:04] <nikolatesla> can anyone tell me where i can find a Gkismet package for hardy heron
[00:04] <Jp82191> babymai: any luck?
[00:04] <xteejx> Chaz: enable sources repos and do apt-get source xchat
[00:04] <Chaz> charlie@desktop:~/src$ sudo apt-get source xchat
[00:04] <Chaz> Reading package lists... Done
[00:04] <Chaz> Building dependency tree
[00:04] <Chaz> Reading state information... Done

[00:05] <kinja-sheep> Chaz: Any chance you forget to update "sudo aptitude update"
[00:05] <kinja-sheep> Chaz: (Ending with a question mark).
[00:05] <ja660k> do i need to restart the computer after i install ubuntu-restricted-extras? because .m4v are still not playing =(
[00:05] <Chaz> kinja-sheep: no luck
[00:05] <nikolatesla> i am trying to find a gkismet package
[00:06] <xteejx> Chaz: Your sources aren't setup, enable the sources repo thru Software Sources or whatever way you want to do it, reload packages and try again it ill work
[00:06] <Chaz> xteejx: I have "Source code" checked in Software Sources
[00:06] <kinja-sheep> Chaz: Paste your /etc/apt/sources.list :o
[00:06] <xteejx> Chaz: have you also enabled sources for partner code?
[00:07] <mkanyicy> Chaz, pastebin the output of "grep deb-src /etc/apt/sources.list"
[00:07] <xteejx> Chaz: just enable the source one in the 2nd tab
[00:07] <Chaz> Ah! It seems the "Source code" was not checked but "appeared" to be. I clicked it one and it stayed solid.
[00:07] <Chaz> Problem solved
[00:07] <xteejx> Chaz: You're welcome lol :)
[00:07] <_phantom> mneptok i would like to talk in offtopic but they all seem to be 12 or under
[00:08] <_phantom> but thnx tho
[00:08] <xteejx> _phantom: they usually are
[00:08] <_phantom> sad
[00:08] <mkanyicy> ja660k, open the file with totem and download the codecs with totem
[00:08] <Jp82191> whats the offtopic chat?
[00:08] <Jp82191> channel thing
[00:08] <kinja-sheep> Jp82191: #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:08] <_phantom> not worth going there
[00:09] <Jp82191> #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:09] <ja660k> mkanyicy:okay ill give it a try
[00:09] <mkanyicy> ja660k, rebooting will not solve anything
[00:09] <Jp82191> how to join?
[00:09] <ned-> i installed xinit & dwm via packages onto ubuntu-server. now the cursor seems to not work properly. when i highlight certain items in my xterm. anyone have this issue before?
[00:09] <ja660k> mkanyicy, sorry i still live in the land of windoze
[00:10] <mkanyicy> ja660k, alternatively, open synaptic and search for 'gstreamer' and select the good, bad, and ugly plugins plus install w32codecs
[00:10] <mkanyicy> ja660k, I see, only updates or installs that affect the kernel require rebooting
[00:11] <mkanyicy> ja660k, let me know if after trying all this does not solve anything
 it appears that i have the the good, the bad and the ugly plugins already and win32 codecs
[00:13] <Jp82191> ill be back i need to install xubuntu on my laptop
[00:13] <Jp82191> brb
[00:13] <bastid_raZor>  /w 4
[00:13] <mkanyicy> ja660k, ok, install ffmpeg, mplayer and vlc
[00:14] <danopia> if i set up a SOCKS proxy in ubuntu's preferences, what uses it?
[00:14] <baard> Anyone know how to autologin after logout with GDM in Karmic?
[00:14] <chriswaterguy> It looks like the modem (Speedstream 4200) may be incompatible with Ubuntu. Would a static IP help, and how do I do that?
[00:15] <Rafase282> hello, i know this is for ubuntu and i use ubuntu, but i installed debian on my phone and i need help to use xfce instead of icewm
[00:15] <EugenMayer> As i have looking for it quite some time, this might be interesting for some ubuntu users (toggle / rotate though workspaces while having compiz activated) http://wiki.impressive-media.de/doc/doing-workspace-toggle-or-rotate-using-a-shortcut-while-having-compiz-activated-gnome
[00:15] <NoCode> Is it possible to use Jaunty with the 2.6.32 kernel?
its not working, and totem wont open
[00:16] <mkanyicy> danopia, what is your problem?
[00:16] <NoCode> I've downloaded the selected mainline packages to install the 2.6.32 kernel, installed them but while logging in, it's just a blank screen.
[00:16] <pavelz> hi, I have installed ubuntu karmic coala on powerbook and desktop, and for some reason with maximum effects desktop doesnt sway windows like powerbook does, though powerbook is alot slower
[00:17] <mkanyicy> ja660k, open terminal and type "mplayer filename" and copy all the message in terminal and pastebin it
[00:17] <NoCode> It seems Xorg just freezes, and I have to do a hard shutdown.
[00:17] <AaronMT> wait what
[00:18] <AaronMT> !hardy
[00:18] <mkanyicy> Rafase282, the fact that you are using ubuntu is not a password for being legal for going off-topic
 http://pastie.org/770943
 oops, wait 2 minutes
[00:19]  * NoCode rages
[00:19] <pavelz> help
[00:20] <mkanyicy> ja660k, replace "filename" by a relevant filename
[00:20] <mkanyicy> ja660k, replace "filename" by a relevant filename like my_file.m4v
 yeah as soon as i pased i realized =/ sorry. http://pastie.org/770943

[00:22] <AaronMT> !edgy
[00:22] <alberto> Hello
[00:22] <alberto> Sorry
[00:23] <mkanyicy> ja660k, paste HERE the output of "file filename"
[00:23] <alberto> I can't make my Line Input to record anything...
 its 34 lines of output
[00:23] <mkanyicy> ja660k, after that replace mplayer by vlc and pastebin the error messages like before
[00:23] <alberto> It does sound, but It doesn't record anything.
[00:23] <alberto> It's very strange.
[00:24] <mkanyicy> ja660k, I mean do this command exactly like this: file 03\ Chappelle\'s\ Show\ 103.m4v
[00:25] <mkanyicy> ja660k, that SHOULD NOT give you 34 lines of output
[00:25] <mkanyicy> ja660k, are you still there?
[00:25] <_phantom> is there a reason im being  trolled by niko
 no it does not. 03 Chappelle's Show 103.m4v: ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, iTunes AVC-LC
[00:26] <KittyBoots> I am trying to learn about and setup ssh, where should I look to get started?
[00:27] <mkanyicy> ja660k, mplayer was supposed to play this easily, is this file encrypted, did you purchase it from iTunes ?
[00:27] <kinja-sheep> !ssh | KittyBoots
[00:27] <mkanyicy> KittyBoots, you don't even have to spend much time on that
[00:27] <mkanyicy> KittyBoots, man ssh
 uh oh. i did buy it off itunes
[00:28] <chriswaterguy> Rafase282: have you tried #Debian?
[00:28] <mkanyicy> ja660k, it has DRM
[00:28] <mkanyicy> ja660k, no player will ever play that on ubuntu
[00:28] <Rafase282> yeah, they are replying now
[00:29] <Rafase282> just wanted a quick answer but i guess i was expecting too much for a question that is not about ubuntu itself
[00:29] <mkanyicy> ja660k, it is protected, I guess you cannot even play it by any other non-Apple player even on windows
[00:30] <ja660k> mkanyicy, bummer... new hatred for apple right now.
[00:31] <mkanyicy> ja660k, sorry
[00:32] <ja660k> mkanyicy, no no dont be, thankyou for trying. i wouldnt of been able to determine that without your help =)
[00:32] <mkanyicy> ja660k, jail is like paradise until the time you decide to cross the borders
[00:32] <mkanyicy> ja660k, no prob
[00:32] <VentreSS> any one know how to setup a downbar ?
[00:33] <mkanyicy> Rafase282, ok, what is your quick question?
[00:33] <mkanyicy> VentreSS, no one knows that
[00:33] <mkanyicy> !anyone | VentreSS
[00:33] <prefrontal> is dpkg capable of detecting corrupt/missing files
[00:33] <VentreSS> rly ?
[00:34] <prefrontal> if so, how?
[00:34]  * Claudiu is away: Away
[00:34] <Rafase282> It is fine, asking on #debian
[00:34] <mkanyicy> Really, VentreSS, why are you suprised?

[00:35] <john3> Hey guys. is there a way to add a service/app to run at each boot? not when a specific user logs in, but any user? thanks
[00:35] <mmvx> john3 which service?
[00:35] <john3> vidalia
[00:36] <Dr_Willis> john3:  /etc/rc.local runs commands befor anyone logs in.
[00:36] <Dr_Willis> john3:  vidalia is a gui app issnt it?
[00:36] <`mOOse`> it has a gui front end
[00:36] <john3> Dr_Willis, yes, but when it starts, tor starts along with it
[00:36] <portuguese> can anyone tell me where i can find the wallpaper in the system files?
[00:36] <Dr_Willis> tor should be started as a normal service
[00:36] <Dr_Willis> No need for viaials to launch it
[00:36] <ejwaxx> john3: my tor starts up automatically ever since i installed it from the torproject repoo
[00:37] <john3> Dr_Willis, when i had tor as a service started at bootup, vidalia wouldnt work correctly. i need to run vidalia and have vidalia start tor
[00:37] <john3> basically I want to start vidalia at bootup... and vidalia will take care of running tor
[00:38] <kinja-sheep> !startup | john3
[00:38] <mmvx> john3 it's easy enough to start it with a session but until you have a session you won't have a desktop environment..?
[00:38] <john3> Kinja-sheep thanks, but thats not what im looking for
[00:38] <guiscard> !noob | guiscard
[00:39] <kinja-sheep> john3: If it get the job done but that's not what you are looking for, then I don't know what you're looking for.
[00:39] <pavelz> anyone?
[00:39] <guiscard> !help | guiscard
[00:39] <pavelz> what does enable rotation of the windows in the Gnome?
[00:39] <kinja-sheep> john3: You could add it to .xsession (I'll get you a link).
[00:40] <pavelz> is there some sort of feature? I have two computers one with nvidia and other one with ati card
[00:40] <kinja-sheep> john3: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomXSession
[00:40] <pavelz> one with ati card does not rotate the windows the facny way...
[00:40] <john3> kinja-sheep, thanks ill look into it
[00:40] <kinja-sheep> john3: You want .xinitrc
[00:40] <Haraken> how do i set nfs-kernel-server to use nfsv2
[00:40] <Haraken> it seems to only be using nfsv3 at the moment

[00:41] <pavelz> thats the with 'extra' effects on
[00:41] <guiscard> how do I rotate my desktop like a cube?

[00:42] <kinja-sheep> mercutio22: By chowning /media/<folder>, perhaps.
[00:43] <john3> Anyone know how to see a kind of log file of synaptic so i can see the last apps i installed? thanks
[00:43] <kinja-sheep> mercutio22: "echo $USER ; ls -l /media/" (w/o) quotes -- What do you see?
[00:44] <mkanyicy> guiscard, install ccsm
[00:44] <Hodapp> woohoo, using ndiswrapper instead of ath9k fixed the issue that came up with 9.10
[00:44] <guiscard> mkanyicy, this will rotate my desktop between workspaces?
[00:45] <mkanyicy> yes, guiscard
[00:45] <Archanamiya> I'm on 8.04, and only have 2 TTY shells (ctl+alt+f1 and f2). Where are my other 4?
[00:45] <guiscard> I thought it was compiz
[00:45] <kinja-sheep> john3: There are many ways to find out.  An example --> cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep "status installed"
[00:45] <guiscard> thank you
[00:45] <mmvx> Hodapp which issue?
[00:45] <mercutio22> kinja-sheep: http://paste.ubuntu.com/353222
[00:46] <kinja-sheep> john3: I'm correcting myself though --> grep "status installed" /var/log/dpkg.log
[00:46] <mkanyicy> guiscard, ccsm stands for compizconfig-settings-manager
[00:46] <gdb> the correct way is this: dpkg -l | grep ^ii
[00:46] <kinja-sheep> mercutio22: Debian is external HDD?

[00:47] <mmvx> Hodapp thanks, just curious, I use ath9k myself on 9.10
[00:47] <john3> kinja-sheep, thanks worked like a charm
[00:47] <guiscard> Mkanyicy nice, has it ever come activated by default on some ubuntu version?
[00:47] <kinja-sheep> gdb: Interesting but that does not list recently installed applications. :)

[00:48] <Umeaboy> I need some help. I know that Lucid is unstable, but X crashed when I rebooted after upgrade.

[00:57] <witeshark> *sigh*
[00:57] <kinja-sheep> Archanamiya: Here you go. You're missing 3,4,5,6. :(
[00:57] <maco> Abdul: they're usually printed on the front of your card. if you are looking for someone *else*'s credit card numbers, look elsewhere
[00:58] <Archanamiya> kinja-sheep: What do I do? :'(
[00:58] <guiscard> mkanyicy, why are you angry? I'm sorry my english is not good maybe my question was poorly phrased
[00:58] <witeshark> the repository updates should not have anything to do with FF
[00:58] <mkanyicy> guiscard, angry, no no no, my friend,
[00:58] <mmvx> witeshark FF is packaged by ubuntu
[00:58] <kinja-sheep> Archanamiya: Copy tty1.conf -- Be sure to edit the file inside to "same number"
[00:58] <mkanyicy> guiscard, maybe my english is not polished enough ;)
[00:58] <Archanamiya> kinja-sheep: kk thanks so much
[00:59] <witeshark> in ubuntuzilla
[00:59] <kinja-sheep> Archanamiya: Use tty2 instead of tty1.
[00:59] <Archanamiya> kinja-sheep: can't find that file
[00:59] <Archanamiya> :S
[00:59] <allen369>  I have Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) and the ripository went crazy and is not connecting to some of the ripositorys, does any one kno what happend???
[00:59] <hackulator> So I just upgraded to 9.10 and my sound stopped working, any ideas?
[00:59] <chasedawg1> can anyone help with LMMS with ubuntu 9.10?
[00:59] <mkanyicy> Abdul, don't PM me without permission
[01:00] <ricerocket> hey guys, i'm having trouble sending files from my phone to my computer thru bluetooth. Any suggestions?
[01:00] <ricerocket> !bluetooth
[01:00] <kinja-sheep> Archanamiya: It is in /etc/event.d/ like you mentioned.
[01:00] <Archanamiya> kinja-sheep: Well, k
[01:00] <mmvx> witeshark firefox is part of the default ubuntu install. All updates come down via the ubuntu repos
[01:00] <Archanamiya> ah right
[01:00] <mkanyicy> guiscard, I am sorry if I sounded angry, but I was asking if ever you managed to install ccsm
[01:00] <Archanamiya> kinja-sheep: thanks ^_^
[01:00] <witeshark> ok thanks
[01:01] <spacitymedic> Hey how do I get rid of the 5 or 6 other OS options on my boot screen? I ahve some 14 bit options and safe mode options... I know it has something to do with deleting kernels... but Im lost.
[01:01] <ricerocket> anyone?
[01:01] <kinja-sheep> Archanamiya: No problem. Don't use TTY1 because it have different runlevel than TTY2-6. ;)
[01:01] <mkanyicy> guiscard, as far as I remember you were asking about making a 3D rotating cube
[01:01] <kinja-sheep> s/use/copy. ;)
[01:01] <Archanamiya> kinja-sheep: what do you mean?
[01:01] <alberto> How can I check if my Ubuntu is 32 or 64 bit?
[01:02] <mkanyicy> Abdul, I dont have credit card numbers, I am not a bank, please don't PM me
[01:02] <kinja-sheep> Archanamiya: "diff /etc/event.d/tty1.conf /etc/event.d/tty2.conf" will list the differences between two files.
[01:02] <Quasar1048> spacitymedic /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:02] <mmvx> alberto you can try uname -a and look for x86_64
[01:02] <Archanamiya> kinja-sheep: j
[01:02] <Archanamiya> **k
[01:03] <Quasar1048> Edit that file as you like. :)
[01:03] <allen369>  I have Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) and the ripository went crazy and is not connecting to some of the ripositorys, does any one kno what happend???
[01:03] <alberto> mmvx Do you know why I cannot see alsamixer controls fine, when I initiate it from terminal?
[01:03] <kinja-sheep> Archanamiya: I'm going to assume you removed those tty?.conf to reduce a number of processes as to keep things light. :)
[01:04] <Archanamiya> kinja-sheep: me? no, i haven't touch 'em
[01:04] <mmvx> alberto what is wrong with them?
[01:04] <Abdul> is there anyone that can help with some Credit numbers ?
[01:04] <mkanyicy> allen369, network problems, or repository servers are down, or something else
[01:04] <Archanamiya> Abdul1: Wrong channel.
[01:04] <alberto> mmvx I cannot record my guitar
[01:04] <mkanyicy> !ot | Abdul
[01:05] <alberto> mmvx I can hear it when I plug it in, but I cannot record anything.
[01:05] <Abdul> is there anyone that can help with Credit Numbers ?
[01:05] <mmvx> alberto are you using 9.10?
[01:05] <hackulator> So I just upgraded my Ubuntu to 9.10 and my sound stopped working, any ideas??
[01:05] <mkanyicy> !ot | Abdul
[01:05] <Abdul> hi
[01:05] <xguru> I'm using karmic and my webcam works fine with cheese, but with skype it doesn't work.....any ideas?  In the preferences in both cheese and skype they are pointed to the same device
[01:05] <Archanamiya> Thank goodness
[01:05] <allen369> k thank you. I happend it will straighten its self out???
[01:05] <alberto> mmvx I used to, but I returned to 9.04 because Karmic was too unstable.
[01:06] <mmvx> hackulator have you had a look in the new sound preferences gui?
[01:06] <spacitymedic> quasar.. what do I do with that?
[01:06] <hackulator> mmvx: yeah it all seems to be set on
[01:07] <airliasdesign_> Is anyone here?
[01:07] <Quasar1048> spacitymedic: easiest thing is to run `sudo gedit /boot/gru/menu.lst` in the terminal, then delete the kernels you don't need.
[01:07] <airliasdesign_> Hey guys
[01:07] <airliasdesign_> I'm in sort of a dilemma
[01:07] <Quasar1048> thats /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:07] <airliasdesign_> I currently have 2 servers
[01:07] <mmvx> alberto there have been some changes with sound in 9.10, possible improvements. hackulator may disagree! If you can hear the amplified sound then you should be able to record it
[01:07] <airliasdesign_> and I want to cloud them
[01:07] <guiscard> mkanyicy, it's alright bro I don't get hurt so ease. now the ccsm I've installed it how do I get the 3D cube?
[01:08] <mmvx> alberto which program are you using to record?
[01:08] <alberto> mmvx Sound Recorder
[01:08] <airliasdesign_> Does anyone know about Ubuntu Server?
[01:08] <alberto> I'm using Jaunty, though
[01:08] <alberto> mmvx Just testing, before I record with Ardour
[01:08] <mkanyicy> guiscard, ALT+F2 then type ccsm
[01:09] <mazda01> ne1 know why my nfs mounts no longer auto mount in karmic?
[01:09] <ricerocket> Hey guys, I can't send files from my phone to the computer using bluetooth. any suggestsions?
[01:09] <mmvx> alberto does sound recorder let you choose a mic, and do you see any errors?
[01:09] <airliasdesign_> hmm
[01:09] <mmvx> ricerocket are you using 9.10?
[01:09] <alberto> mmvx No, it doesn't let me choose a Mic
[01:09] <alberto> mmvx Only Capture
[01:09] <ricerocket> mmvx: yeah
[01:09] <airliasdesign_> Can my front-end of my cloud also act as a node?
[01:09] <airliasdesign_> temporarily
[01:09] <airliasdesign_> such as
[01:09] <airliasdesign_> I'm running on 1 server
[01:10] <airliasdesign_> which isn't enough
[01:10] <airliasdesign_> so I ordered another
[01:10] <FloodBot1> airliasdesign_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:10] <alberto> mmvx Not even Capture sometimes, when I change System/Preferences/Sound settings
[01:10] <airliasdesign_> But the problem with my server is that I have to keep 1 server
[01:10] <alberto> mmvx I'm annoyed
[01:10] <Hodapp> gah... 3-second ping time to another box on the LAN is unacceptable
[01:10] <mmvx> alberto sound recorder is quite basic, it may be worth trying audacity
[01:11] <airliasdesign_> Like, I could take the website down for a day, but that would be extremist, I'm looking for the least downtime
[01:11] <alberto> mmvx Audacity does the same
[01:11] <alberto> mmvx Not to record
[01:11] <mmvx> alberto and no errors?
[01:11] <faileas> 'm setting up a minimalistic ubuntu based system with openbox as a window manager. Unlike the more full functioned window managers, there's no single click shutdown option. While i can shutdown using cli - this needs me to use sudo, and well, this isn't what i want. Is there any way to make the halt or poweroff commands work for any user, without the need for a password?
[01:11] <alberto> mmvx No
[01:11] <alberto> mmvx No errors
[01:12] <alberto> mmvx I can hear the guitar, but I cannot play it back.
[01:12] <airliasdesign_> someone help me please :P
[01:12] <Quasar1048> Can someone help me to figure out why g15tools gives me errors? Here's an error it gives me a lot: E: g15daemon: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 E: g15macro: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured. What else does it need besides libusb and libg15? Anyone know?
[01:12] <mmvx> ricerocket can you add the phone and browse folders ok?
[01:12] <alberto> mmvx Because it doesn't pick the sound up.
[01:12] <ricerocket> I can pair the computer and phone if that's what you're asking
[01:12] <MikeJB> Does Ubuntu have any recommended minimum hard disk size below which an installation is impractical?
[01:13] <Quasar1048> I would love to have macro keys working, lol.
[01:13] <guiscard> mkanyicy, thank you ;)
[01:13] <lstarnes> MikeJB: I would say that anything under 4 GB is highly impractical
[01:13] <mkanyicy> guiscard, no prob
[01:13] <MrPockets> ohhi. does Transmission need any config out-of-box?
[01:13] <hackulator> I just upgraded my Ubuntu to 9.10 and my sound stopped working, checked the Sound preferences and nothing is muted or at zero volume.
[01:13] <mmvx> alberto does the sound look like it's playing?
[01:13] <faileas> MikeJB: well, smallest ubuntu install with a gui i've seen is ~2gb
[01:13] <lstarnes> MikeJB: I think it can work with as little as 2GB though, but that's just with the default packages and nothing extra
[01:13] <mmvx> alberto just no noise?
[01:14] <mmvx> ricerocket can you browse files on the phone?
[01:14] <ricerocket> no, I don't know how to do that
[01:14] <alberto> mmvx No, it doesn't record anything
[01:14] <MikeJB> Is 5 GB decent?
[01:14] <ricerocket> all i can find is bluetooth preferences in preferences
[01:14] <mkanyicy> MikeJB, why do you want to know that?
[01:14] <lstarnes> MikeJB: you'll probably still want more than that
[01:15] <lstarnes> MikeJB: that might be enough if you don't keep any large files
[01:15] <airliasdesign_> this is useless
[01:15] <alberto> mmvx It doesn't draw waveform when I play.
[01:15] <faileas> MikeJB: for most things, that would do. some specific info about the setup you want will help
[01:15] <mmvx> ricerocket there is a bluetooth icon in the task bar with a right click menu
[01:15]  * faileas runs a barebones install - openbox, swiftfox, lostirc, and an IM client no one's heard of, and its slightly over a gig
[01:15] <alberto> mmvx Could you please connect to my computer remotely?
[01:15] <airliasdesign_> SOMEBODDDDYYY
[01:15] <MikeJB> faileas: I want to use Ubuntu as a guest OS in virtualization.
[01:16] <faileas> MikeJB: need a gui?
[01:16] <MikeJB> Yes.
[01:16] <mkanyicy> MikeJB, nowadays, 15GB is adequate
[01:16] <mmvx> alberto I don't think that would help, aside from being a security risk
[01:16] <alberto> mmvx I trust you.
[01:16] <eltume> can someone link me to a site with instructions on how to use unetbooting to boot an iso without a physical media ???
[01:16] <faileas> and what VM software?
[01:17] <MikeJB> QEMU
[01:17] <airliasdesign_> ok
[01:17] <mmvx> alberto honestly it won't help
[01:17] <ricerocket> how do i add that to the panel, i use the awn systray for mine, and i don't see a bluetooth icon mmvx
[01:17] <lstarnes> MikeJB: I generally allocate 8GB for virtual disks
[01:17] <MikeJB> ah, okay.
[01:17] <faileas> MikeJB: personally? start with the cli only install, then install just what you need. and unless you absolutely need it, go for something like openbox or icevm to save space
[01:18] <ricerocket> mmvx, yeah, there's no icon
[01:18] <mmvx> alberto if you can hear the guitar, then selecting the correct channel for mic in sound preferences and sound recorder should work. If not I suspect there is a problem with pulseaudio which may be resolved by upgrading to 9.10
[01:19] <faileas> MikeJB: if you were using a vmware or kvm base, jce would be what i'd use. its a virtualsation specific build of ubuntu. donno how it is with qemu tho
[01:19] <mmvx> ricerocket in System > Preferences there is a bluetooth entry
[01:19] <mazda01> ne1 know why my nfs mounts no longer auto mount in karmic?
[01:19] <ricerocket> yeah, that's just preferences. how do i actually browse the files on the phone
[01:19] <hackulator> I just upgraded my Ubuntu to 9.10 and my sound stopped working, checked the Sound preferences and nothing is muted or at zero volume.
[01:20] <airliasdesign_> god
[01:20] <MikeJB> faileas: well, virtualization support isn't 100% adequate on my laptop because virtualization is something that has started to be hyped relatively recently.
[01:20] <mmvx> ricerocket in the preferences you can choose to show the icon...
[01:20] <airliasdesign_> does anyone here know about Ubuntu Server
[01:20] <mazda01> hackulator, you upgraded to lucid or you're now at karmic?
[01:20] <hackulator> mazdo01 karmic
[01:20] <mkanyicy> airliasdesign_, ask a question
[01:20] <mazda01> airliasdesign_, what about it?
[01:20] <jijutm> guys any tips on upgrading live 8.04 server to 9.10
[01:20] <MikeJB> I do want to learn it at least so I can use virtualization extensively on my newer laptop. If I already virtualize I'll know what exactly my current computer is lacking and what to look for in my next.
[01:20] <ricerocket> ok i tick the box and it still doesn't come up
[01:20] <mazda01> hackulator, is pulseaudio running?  sudo service pulseaudio restart
[01:20] <airliasdesign_> @mazda01 I'm trying to determine how to set up my cloud
[01:21] <adamonline45> So I have a dedicated /boot partition, but don't know where to find it.  I'm in initramfs, and would like to change a grub option.  Can anyone help me mount my /boot?
[01:21] <mazda01> airliasdesign_, you mean ubuntu one/
[01:21] <mmvx> ricerocket do you have a notification area in a panel somewhere?
[01:21] <airliasdesign_> Yes
[01:21] <faileas> MikeJB: er.. you don't need VT for virtualisation
[01:21] <mkanyicy> jijutm, go to 8.10 then to 9.04 then to 9.10
[01:21] <ricerocket> yes, it's not coming up
[01:21] <airliasdesign_> @mazda01: I currently have 1 server running, and just ordered another
[01:21] <faileas> and you WILL get better performance off vmware server or player, or virtualbox, than qemu
[01:21] <airliasdesign_> the other server has a processor that is much better
[01:22] <mkanyicy> jijutm, if you wait a few months you could upgrade from 8.04 directly to 10.04!
[01:22] <mmvx> ricerocket is your bluetooth device showing in System > Preferences > Bluetooth
[01:22] <Hodapp> faileas: Really? Even QEMU with KVM?
[01:22] <ricerocket> yeah
[01:22] <airliasdesign_> but I'm stuck, can I also use my server as a frontend AND a node?
[01:22] <hackulator> mazda01: "Pulseaudio configured for per-user sessions", sounds still doesn't work
[01:22] <Hodapp> faileas: I've not had any CPUs with which to test this, so I was always curious.
[01:22] <airliasdesign_> in other words, I need the websites on the servers to stay up
[01:22] <faileas> Hodapp: isn't kvm an app on its own?
[01:22] <airliasdesign_> so I'll point the DNS at my server
[01:22] <jijutm> @mkanyicy thanks.. actually I wanted to use a specific function of the swftools which comes with 9.10
[01:22] <airliasdesign_> (front end)
[01:22] <lstarnes> faileas: kvm is a partly-modified QEMU
[01:22] <edo_> olchat.org
[01:22] <lstarnes> faileas: the frontend is almost exactly the same
[01:23] <Hodapp> lstarnes: KVM is not QEMU
[01:23] <lstarnes> Hodapp: I know that
[01:23] <jijutm> @mkanyicy the swftools in 8.04 fails on several pdfs created using Mac Illustrator
[01:23] <faileas> I might be talking out of my rear end, but the problem with qemu is, it virtualises the whole system- the kqemu patch allows some passthrough of commands and improves performance
[01:23] <Hodapp> lstarnes: That means it is not partly-modified QEMU.
[01:23] <jijutm> @mkanyicy where as it works fine on the 9.10 version
[01:23] <Hodapp> faileas: Have you done any tests though on qemu-kvm?
[01:23] <mazda01> airliasdesign_, did you check this out? it depends whether you want public or private cloud. http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud  i don't have experience but i know how to google
[01:23] <lstarnes> Hodapp: it is based on qemu
[01:23] <mkanyicy> jijutm, 9.10 is not LTS though
[01:24] <lstarnes> Hodapp: when did I say that it IS qemu?
[01:24] <jijutm> yea i know..
[01:24] <Hodapp> lstarnes: It is not based on QEMU.
[01:24] <lstarnes> Hodapp: it is
[01:24] <Hodapp> lstarnes: No, it's not.
[01:24] <faileas> VMware and virtualbox (with his a qemu fork i believe) do passthrough. in addition, both would let you have resizable disks
[01:24] <mkanyicy> jijutm, and besides, it takes longer to upgrade to it since there are no short cuts
[01:24] <jijutm> @mkanyicy do i edit the sources.list and do upgarde
[01:24] <lstarnes> Hodapp: I know for a fact that it is
[01:24] <faileas> Hodapp: the windows version has a kernel hook - i tried that, and well, vmware server and virtualbox both blew it out of the water
[01:24] <lstarnes> Hodapp: unless you can prove otherwise
[01:24] <Hodapp> lstarnes: That's too bad, because you're completely wrong.
[01:24] <faileas> Hodapp: as for linux, no
[01:24] <mazda01> hackulator, what sound card? lspci
[01:24] <mkanyicy> jijutm, you might encounter other errors somewhere in the upgrade chain
[01:24] <Hodapp> lstarnes: KVM is KVM. It's part of the kernel.
[01:25] <lstarnes> Hodapp: let's continue this in #ubuntu-offtopic.  This is getting outside of support
[01:25] <Hodapp> lstarnes: There's nothing to discuss; you're just wrong.
[01:25] <mkanyicy> jijutm, oh, you have decided do go ahead?
[01:25] <jijutm> @mkanyicy will try the gimmick on a vm in our colocated server and see
[01:25] <djtoast> Ive been reading all day on trying to configure 3 monitors on 2 vid cards. it seemed possible on 8.10 and 9.04 but not on 9.10 anywone doing this 3monitors 2 cards and not in seperate X windows ?
[01:25] <faileas> in MikeJB's case, i think if he's worried about space, a dynamically resizable disk might work, and he seems unaware VT isn't a prerequisite for 90% of tasks ;p
[01:25] <Hodapp> faileas: I am curious about what its performance is like when KVM is present, but I haven't tried it.
[01:25] <Hodapp> faileas: But mostly I use VirtualBox.
[01:25] <lstarnes> Hodapp: I said move it to -offtopic
[01:26] <faileas> Hodapp: neither have i.
[01:26] <ricerocket> mmvx: send me a private message if you figure something out, i have to go away for 15mins
[01:26] <hackulator> mazda01 Creative Labs SB Audigy
[01:26] <Hodapp> lstarnes: There is nothing further to discuss. You're wrong; get over it.
[01:26] <jijutm> @mkanyicy thanks a lot
[01:26] <lstarnes> Hodapp: I will find a link
[01:27] <mkanyicy> jijutm, backup your sources.list and thereafter replace hardy with intrepid on it
[01:27] <mazda01> hackulator, have you checked this out?  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1302457
[01:27] <mkanyicy> jijutm, try doing a dist-upgrade
[01:27] <lstarnes> Hodapp: the usermode components (NOT the kernelmode components) appear to be at least partly based on QEMU
[01:27] <faileas> lstarnes: could be simply cause its a well know interface
[01:28] <demetrio81ct> salve
[01:28] <mkanyicy> jijutm, from intrepid to jaunty from jaunty to karmic
[01:28] <matt\> I can't upgrade my 8.3 postgres cluster to 8.4 following the Karmic upgrade.  I followed the instructions that APT mentioned during the upgrade, but now I don't see anything in pg_lsclusters.
[01:28] <demetrio81ct> qualcuno siciliano
[01:29] <matt\> The message said that 8.4 would install a new main cluster, and to upgrade the 8.3 one it was necessary to drop the 8.4 main, which I did.
[01:29] <matt\> Now there are no clusters.
[01:29] <hackulator> mazda01 no I will check it out thanks, also just discovered all my videos seem to have to color totally out of wack on them :-/
[01:30] <lstarnes> Hodapp: the front page for the KVM project (http://linux-kvm.org) clearly references the fact that it depends on a modified version of QEMU
[01:30] <Hodapp> lstarnes: depends on != is
[01:30] <ring0> can i set the hold flag for a package with an apt command? i know i can do so via aptitude or synaptic.
[01:31] <spacitymedic> Ok i typed in sudo gedit /boot/gru/menu.lst and nothing is in the window that popped up...
[01:31] <lstarnes> Hodapp: I never said that KVM was QEMU (or vice versa)
[01:31] <spacitymedic> how do I delete the other unneeded OS options on my boot screen??
[01:31] <lstarnes> Hodapp: I just said that KVM was partly based on QEMU
[01:31] <mkanyicy> spacitymedic, grub2 does not use menu.lst
[01:32] <spacitymedic> huh? oh well that was what an user here told me to type in...
[01:32] <jijutm> @mkanyicy yea.. got https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:32] <jijutm> and started with it
[01:32] <spacitymedic>  then how do I edit the menu?
[01:32] <mkanyicy> spacitymedic, furthermore when running gui apps rather use gksudo instead of sudo
[01:32] <spacitymedic> Ok... so gksudo .. what?
[01:33] <trism> spacitymedic: if you want to remove old kernels from the list, uninstall the linux-image packages for them
[01:33] <spacitymedic> Ok... how do I do that? sorry I've been using linux for about 5 days now... totally new to it all.
[01:33] <helper`> hey need to ask! what command i can paste it will list for me the / in a hirerchy way! thx
[01:33] <Hodapp> lstarnes: Their website directly states that KVM itself consists of a kernel module; this kernel module is not based on QEMU at all.
[01:33] <Hodapp> helper`: find /
[01:33] <lstarnes> Hodapp: I am aware of that
[01:33] <jijutm> @mkanyicy the 8.04 to 8.10 downloads just completed.. and it is applying them
[01:33] <lstarnes> Hodapp: ok, you know what
[01:34] <helper`> Hodapp thx
[01:34] <lstarnes> Hodapp: I apologize
[01:34] <mkanyicy> spacitymedic, then you rather don't play with grub
[01:34] <theDom> hi can someone help me with a nvidia driver problem?
[01:34] <lstarnes> Hodapp: I was wrong
[01:34] <Hodapp> lstarnes: Thanks.
[01:34] <mkanyicy> jijutm, that's quick
[01:34] <spacitymedic> Ok.. so... instead of helping me... youre just telling me to not even bother sinceI dont already know?
[01:34] <spacitymedic>  Not very helpful now, are you?
[01:34] <jijutm> @mkanyicy I am hosting on http://www.pacificrack.com
[01:34] <Hodapp> bah. this is why I should stay off of IRC.
[01:35] <guiscard> how do I downgrade my ubuntu to 0.1 pre-alpha version?
[01:35] <lstarnes> Hodapp: what I meant to say is that KVM itself is NOT based on QEMU
[01:35] <jijutm> @mkanyicy and bandwidth for upgrades they dont charge, since it goes through the private lan
[01:35] <lstarnes> Hodapp: but that the userspace client for KVM was based on it or reused components form it
[01:35] <trism> spacitymedic: dpkg -l linux-image* will list your kernels, you can uninstall them with sudo apt-get remove package_name; just make sure you don't remove your current kernel, or you won't have anything to boot (uname -a lists your current kernel)
[01:35] <Hodapp> lstarnes: I see.
[01:36] <soreau> spacitymedic: Which unneeded boot options are you referring to?
[01:36] <trism> spacitymedic: if you want to remove memtest86+ you can either uninstall it or sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+; sudo update-grub;
[01:36] <lstarnes> Hodapp: I have now come to the realization that that program itself is not part of KVM and is instead just a userspace interface for the kernel subsystem
[01:36] <spacitymedic> Ok, i have two linux OS's on here.. how do I know the difference? Can I rename them? cause on the menuy they are both titled Ubuntu 9.1. And I have xubuntu and kubuntu
[01:36] <init2winit77> Need help figuring out why my pictures folder keeps freezing up and I have to "force quit"  also some files that have been saved in other folders are not there and don't show up in a search,  can any one help?
[01:36] <spacitymedic> the ones I want to delete are the 14 bit and 14 bit safe mode  and recovery mode ones
[01:37] <soreau> spacitymedic: Did you install 9.10 fresh, meaning you would have grub2 installed?
[01:37] <mmvx> Hodapp I just remembered that I set power management to off in rc.local for ath9k too
[01:37] <trism> spacitymedic: it is not straightforward to edit them individually in grub2, it is probably best not to mess with it if you want to do anything more complicated than the previous two things I mentioned
[01:37] <Hodapp> mmvx: hmm, perhaps that is my issue.
[01:37] <Hodapp> mmvx: is this glaringly obvious in rc.local?
[01:37] <spacitymedic> Uhm... yes? I had windows, I installed xubuntu. then I sat up a partition and installed kubuntu.
[01:38] <fellowworker> hey
[01:38] <mmvx> I just added  line: "iwconfig wlan0 power off" above exit 0
[01:38] <fellowworker> I've got a question about ubuntu
[01:38] <soreau> spacitymedic: Well it's not a good idea to remove all the recovery mode entries and there are ways to change the label it displays but I'm not sure with grub2. Consider this:
[01:38] <soreau> ! grub2 | spacitymedic
[01:39] <Hodapp> mmvx: and that's it? So I could test this trivially without even  bothering with rc.local?
[01:39] <fellowworker> i bricked my ubuntu
[01:39] <mkanyicy> fellowworker, is that a question?
[01:39] <fellowworker> I havent used ircii before
[01:39] <fellowworker> ok
[01:39] <mmvx> Hodapp absolutely, you can check to see if power management is on just using iwconfig wlan0
[01:39] <spacitymedic> thanks... but im not sure what Im looking for.
[01:39] <Hodapp> mmvx: well, right now it's using ndiswrapper so I can't :P
[01:40] <mkanyicy> fellowworker, general rule is that go straight to the point
[01:40] <fellowworker> I bricked ubuntu by updating the linux kernel.  Then it wouldnt load properly in grub (i got dropped to grub.sh)
[01:40] <mmvx> Hodapp ok, good point well made!
[01:40] <fellowworker> so, i followed a guide on ubuntuforums to fix it.. but ended up getting dropped to busybox or another shell with the prompt (initramfs)
[01:40] <fellowworker> im worried i made a typo and destroyed everything
[01:40] <trism> spacitymedic: the kernels are automatically probed by grub2, if you want to edit them individually you will either need to know a bit of bash and edit the prober or manually edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg, in which case you will need to manually edit it again every kernel/grub update
[01:41] <theDom> can someone remind me the command in ubuntu for restoring a file to the backed up file?
[01:41] <cyberjorge> hi, what should I set in proftpd.conf to make sure all anonymous user can access my /home/myfolder?
[01:41] <guiscard> i need to downgrade my ubuntu because i have almost no space with this old ide hdd
[01:41] <arand> fellowworker: which guide? did you use an upgraded or fresh-installed karmic?
[01:42] <fellowworker> er, 9.10 karmic
[01:42] <mkanyicy> guiscard, just remove unnecessary apps
[01:42] <soreau> theDom: That's a subjective question. It depends on where the file is backed up to, what it's called and what file you want to restore
[01:42] <fellowworker> i just did it foolishly through the updates thing on the tray
[01:42] <fellowworker> not a fresh install
[01:42] <mkanyicy> guiscard, and do an apt-get clean
[01:42] <helper`> how i can copy current line using vi ? thx
[01:42] <trism> helper`: to the vim buffer you can use yy
[01:42] <fellowworker> and the guide i used was at "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1339203" post #10
[01:42] <mkanyicy> helper`, yy
[01:42] <trism> helper`: or Xyy to copy X number of lines
[01:43] <hikenboot_> hello I have karmic, I see millions of articles on "fixes for the sound issues" none of them work on my system buzzing cracking skipping sound which works one minute, next minute it doesnt  or works before a reboot but not after...anyone know if the dev's are working on a solution?
[01:43] <theDom> well the computer is telling me that im not using the nvidia driver anymor, for some reaon, and has to run in low graphics
[01:43] <cl0vvn> I am receiving a kernel panic error when i boot up; I am running 9.04, with kernel 2.6.28. When I try running with 2.6.28-17, I get Kernel Panic: unable to mount fs on unknown block (0,0) or something along those lines
[01:43] <Hodapp> mmvx: what caused you to disable power management?
[01:43] <trism> helper`: and p to paste it back into vim
[01:43] <cl0vvn> any suggestions??
[01:43] <guiscard> mkanyicy, how do I find the unnecessary ones?
[01:43] <cyberjorge> hi, what should I set in proftpd.conf to make sure all anonymous user can access my /home/myfolder?
[01:43] <helper`> trism thx alot
[01:43] <mkanyicy> you should know them
[01:43] <mmvx> Hodapp a sprawling bug in Launchpad about the crap performance of ath9k in karmic
[01:44] <theDom> when i run the nvidia server it tells me to run nvidia-xconfig, but that tells me that is cant access etc/x11
[01:44] <mkanyicy> guiscard, you can delete old kernel images
[01:44] <Hodapp> mmvx: but any bad performance that you experienced yourself?
[01:44] <spacitymedic> trism would you be able to help me edit the prober? could you walk me through it?
[01:44] <mmvx> Hodapp yes, network dropping, stalling, poor performance generally
[01:45] <mkanyicy> guiscard, but to downgrade so as to gain HDD space is ridiculous
[01:45] <Sorhan> what's the easiest way to share files over a network from a Windows machine?
[01:45] <fellowworker> sorhan dropbox works well for me
[01:45] <Hodapp> Sorhan: Linux can mount Windows shares via samba or cifs
[01:45] <mmvx> Hodapp using backports, wicd and setting power management to off seems to have fixed the probs
[01:45] <MrPockets> Opinions: Amarok or banche?
[01:46] <Hodapp> mmvx: I think I installed backports, but I haven't tried power management yet. I may do that in a minute.
[01:46] <Sorhan> Hodapp ok, cool
[01:46] <Sorhan> i take it dropbox is something similar
[01:46] <mmvx> Hodapp although I still have to sudo modprobe -r ath9k && sudo modprobe ath9k to reconnect after suspend etc
[01:46] <fellowworker> >_>
[01:46] <init2winit77> i have a problem with a couple folders that keep freezing up.  Can any one help this?
[01:47] <cl0vvn> I'm having a kernel panic error with 9.04 and kernel 2.6.2
[01:47] <fellowworker> googling my problem seems to indicate i need to into the bios and change some setting regarding FAT32/NTFS or RAID/SATA
[01:47] <fellowworker> but im not sure
[01:47] <cl0vvn> *2.6.28-17
[01:47] <cl0vvn> somewhere on google someone recommended updating to 2.6.31, but I can't find it on synaptic; where do I find this?
[01:47] <guiscard> mkanyicy, ok i'll delete some app
[01:47] <mkanyicy> Good people, I have to leave for a long long long time
[01:48] <mmvx> mkanyicy long long long???
[01:48] <Hodapp> mmvx: Good so far.
[01:48] <mkanyicy> you can even install fslint, guiscard , it can help you
[01:48] <mkanyicy> mmvx, many many days
[01:48] <trism> spacitymedic: not really sure what you want to do, and I'm really not sure I'd want to mess with it (I did find an option to disable the recovery entries, but I think that is a really bad idea)
[01:48] <Hodapp> mmvx: This is a desktop which I never suspend so I doubt that'll be a problem (but apparently it's an ndiswrapper issue too)
[01:48] <Sorhan> as far as samba goes, do i need to install on machine that's doing the share and on the client?
[01:48] <topo_> Hi anyone on karmic and a eeepc? how do you disable the touchpad
[01:49] <mmvx> Hodapp yeah it's not really an issue for me either,i'm just pleased the performance is tolerable!
[01:49] <mkanyicy> don't give people credit card numbers nor ssh to their machines even if they ask you to, this channel rocks. cheers
[01:49] <mkanyicy> :)
[01:50] <mmvx> mkanyicy cheers
[01:50] <spacitymedic> well im cool witht he recovery mode entries.. its the 14 bit regular and 14 bit recovery mode entries I would liek to get ride of.
[01:50] <fellowworker> Could someone point in the right directon that explains where to proceed from the "initramfs" prompt
[01:50] <trism> spacitymedic: I'm not sure what those are
[01:50] <spacitymedic>  I have 16 bit entries that are fine, Thsoe are wat I use for kubuntu and xubuntu... And I just wanna edit the names. so I can choose from them
[01:51] <victor__> hello! anybody can explain to me how can i make openoffice to correct my texts on another languages differents to mine (spanish)? (I'm translator and i often write in french but it doesn't work :()
[01:51] <ravigehlot> I had something really weird happen today which upset me lots. I am running UBUNTU. I got quite a few projects on Eclipse. 9 out 10 projects are ALL in Portuguese so they have accents (something that the English languages does have). Everything was fine till I opened Eclipse today and ALL the accents had been translated into some sort of unreadable character. How could this happen?
[01:51] <Alex_2_3> Hi, how can I shutdown the system  as normal user using the 'at' command? sudo does not work, because it needs a passwort input
[01:51] <ravigehlot> Alex_2_3: shutdown -h now
[01:52] <trism> spacitymedic: I'm not sure what you mean by 14-bit/16-bit
[01:52] <cl0vvn> Hello, I am running 9.04 with the 2.6.28-17 kernel, and I want to update to 2.6.31; I can't find it on synaptic, can anyone help me with this?
[01:52] <ZykoticK9> Alex_2_3, you'd need to a a script or shutdown to the sudoers file
[01:52] <ravigehlot> victor_: just download the dictionary extension right from OpenOffice Writer
[01:52] <mmvx> Alex_2_3 you could sudo su and set at as root
[01:52] <ravigehlot> cl0vvn: You have to enter the PPA for the newer kernel or select all options in your SOURCES.
[01:53] <fellowworker> :(
[01:53] <cl0vvn> PPA?
[01:53] <trism> spacitymedic: as for the other entries, you can disable the os_prober and copy them to /etc/grub.d/40_custom and set any options you want (then run sudo update-grub;)
[01:53] <ravigehlot> cl0vvn: Just go to Administrator -> Sources and select all boxes. It will download the latest Kernel that it known to work in your Ubuntu.
[01:53] <ravigehlot> cl0vvn: For the latest version of the kernel. Download it from www.kernel.org and compile it manually.
[01:54] <victor__> Rave1, is it a website?
[01:54] <victor__> ravigehlot, is it a website?
[01:54] <MrPockets> so
[01:54] <MrPockets> get this
[01:54] <topo_> cl0vvn: I've found that it's usually better to wait for the update from ubuntu
[01:54] <topo_> Hi anyone on karmic and a eeepc? how do you disable the touchpad
[01:54] <MrPockets> Skype detects my webcam, but it's all green and distorted
[01:54] <victor__> ravigehlot, i mean i don't know how to do it :$
[01:54] <ravigehlot> victor__: Go to your OpenOffice and then get to your dictionary from there. There should be an option to download additional.
[01:55] <MrPockets> In the past, i've needed to run skype as admin, or as root, to get video working. this time, it doesn't auth, giving me the impression it's not running as root
[01:55] <cl0vvn> topo: It's just that I'm having issues with the kernel right now
[01:55] <ravigehlot> victor__: Google is your best friend man.
[01:55] <MrPockets> ideas?
[01:55] <ravigehlot> cl0vvn: what issues?
[01:55] <cl0vvn> I'm getting kernel panics when I try to boot up
[01:55] <victor__> ravigehlot, i haven't found it ... that's what i'm asking :P
[01:55] <trism> spacitymedic: you could do the same with the ubuntu kernel entries if you really wanted, it would it be a pain to add new kernels manually every update (for me anyway)
[01:55] <ravigehlot> cl0vvn: Are you on an older system?
[01:55] <cl0vvn> 9.04
[01:55] <spacitymedic> yeah... man I wish I could take a screenshot of my boot screen
[01:55] <aurynn> Are .fdi files still the appropriate way to modify the Synaptics touchpad configuration in Karmic? I'm finding conflicting reports about the HAL being removed.
[01:56] <ravigehlot> cl0vvn: computer hardware. is it old?
[01:56] <ravigehlot> victor___: It's there.
[01:56] <jose__> hola
[01:56] <cl0vvn> Hm, don't think so
[01:56] <cl0vvn> It's an ASUS G2S
[01:56] <trism> spacitymedic: you can pastebin /boot/grub/grub.cfg, that is what generates your boot screen
[01:56] <cl0vvn> I purchased it, 1.5 years ago? new
[01:56] <guiscard> spacitymedic, take a pic with some gadget cam
[01:56] <spacitymedic> ok...
[01:56] <ravigehlot> cl0vvn: IT could be lots of things. Go and google the error message for more info.
[01:56] <cl0vvn> ok
[01:56] <cl0vvn> thank you
[01:57] <ravigehlot> no problem
[01:57] <dsearle> topo_: You can disable the touchpad using the command synclient TouchpadOff=1
[01:57] <cl0vvn> I'll try this, and if not, I'll come crying here again like a n00b ^^
[01:57] <spacitymedic> Ok... total overload... Im completely lost... I just wish I could have someone do this for me....
[01:57] <guiscard> spacitymedic, hire torvalds
[01:57] <trism> spacitymedic: if it is working, I wouldn't mess with it, just set the one you want to boot normally as the default and ignore the others until you need them
[01:57] <spacitymedic> who??
[01:58] <guiscard> nvm
[01:58] <topo_> dsearle: any idea on a way of activating de fn+f3 command
[01:59] <c0re> hi people
[01:59] <spacitymedic> ok... if I knew how to do EVEN THAT... lol... I would. Right now, I've got about 6 versions of "ubuntu 9.1" followed by various 14 or 16 bit options... they all look the same so when I pick one, its really a shot in teh dark as to which partition I'm starting up in.
[02:00] <topo_> dsearle: any idea on a way of activating de fn+f3 command
[02:00] <dsearle> topo_: Well you could use xbindkeys to achieve that, no specific config i'm afraid, i just live without it
[02:00] <topo_> dsearle: so I can toogle it on and of
[02:00] <c0re> topo_: meaning ?
[02:00] <dark> spacitymedic, hello
[02:01] <spacitymedic> hello dark?
[02:01] <dark> don't shot me, im innocent
[02:01] <DrManhattan> 14 and 16 bit options?
[02:01] <trism> spacitymedic: all the ubuntus are likely the same, just different kernels (2.6.31-17 is the newest, you can really uninstall all the older ones if you want, and they will be gone from the grub menu)
[02:01] <spacitymedic> yeah, dr... Im not sure what they are...
[02:01] <DrManhattan> are you running ubuntu on a 386 or something?
[02:01] <topo_> c0re: I mean activating the hotkey for the touchpad on and off functionality
[02:01] <c0re> trism: meaning
[02:01] <dark> (sorry, i just came here thinking someone had called me :d)
[02:01] <spacitymedic> Ok... how do I uninstall old kernels...
[02:01] <DrManhattan> running ubuntu on a super nintendo
[02:01] <spacitymedic>  tell me what to type in.
[02:02] <spacitymedic>  Slowly... Im not very good at computers as  it is.
[02:02] <trism> spacitymedic: as an example, to uninstall the oldest karmic kernel would be: sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic;
[02:02] <HFSPLUS> How sexy my f40?
[02:02] <HFSPLUS> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrvC-lgTqhk
[02:02] <spacitymedic> can I type that in?
[02:03] <DrManhattan> yeah, if you don't know what version of the OS you are running, you don't really have any business working in linux.
[02:03] <trism> spacitymedic: dpkg -l linux-image* will list them all, the important thing is not to uninstall your current kernel
[02:03] <dark> spacitymedic, in order to see the kernels installed, type dpkg -l 'linux-image-*'
[02:03] <c0re> topo_: there is in ubuntu wiki how to troubleshoot
[02:03] <ricerocket> hey guys, i can't seem to get my bluetooth to connect to my phone (which is different than pairing)
[02:03] <trism> spacitymedic: which is either 2.6.31-16 or -17 depending on if you updated recently or not
[02:03] <dark> spacitymedic, in order to remove one, say, version 2.6.31-14-gen (the only one installed here), the command is sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.31-14-gen
[02:03] <faileas> DrManhattan: eh, depends. I think i had a client who runs UNR now. i pretty much installed it, and told her 'if there's any issues, call me'. Haven't gotten any tech support calls yet ;p
[02:03] <spacitymedic> wait wait wait.. I dont have "any business working in linux"??  its an operating system... ok? not exclusive to "certain people".. Open source remember? Why are you being negative when Im just asking for HELP?
[02:04] <dark> ok, i am duplicating the effort of others, sorry :)
[02:04] <c0re> spacitymedic: meaning ?
[02:04] <Don_Miguel> I am having a problem with 2GB of new RAM not being seen on Ubuntu 9.04 (i386.iso), more info --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/353244/
[02:04] <topo_> c0re: will look for it, do you have a link?
[02:04] <HFSPLUS> How sexy my f40?
[02:04] <HFSPLUS> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrvC-lgTqhk
[02:04] <DrManhattan> faileas, I hear you
[02:04] <c0re> topo_: here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting
[02:05] <DrManhattan> faileas, but she IS calling you for support, not trying to do it herself
[02:05] <faileas> spacitymedic: eh, everyone starts somewhere
[02:05] <ctmjr> HFSPLUS: stop spamming the channel
[02:05] <trism> spacitymedic: you can also use Synaptic, which may be easier for you System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager; search for linux-image in the quick search
[02:05] <HFSPLUS> whats spamming?
[02:05] <Hilikus> is anyone here using rsnapshot to backup? i want to hear some comments about it
[02:05] <HFSPLUS> this?
[02:05] <HFSPLUS> !ops
[02:05] <ravx> I'm installing ubuntu server 8.04 from a USB drive, i'm at the screen where it asks me to use "Device file for accessing the CD-ROM:" as there is no cd rom drive , only the usb drive, what is the default mount point for the usb drive ?
[02:05] <dark> spacitymedic, there is nothing negative in asking for help.
[02:05] <spacitymedic> Ok... ok I typed that in, but it goes to the next line and does nothing.
[02:05] <c0re> ravx: look in /media
[02:06] <topo_> c0re: thanks?
[02:06] <topo_> c0re: sorry wrnog key thanks!!!!!
[02:06] <c0re> topo_: :)
[02:07] <ZykoticK9> Don_Miguel, i think 32bit Ubuntu "should" be able to see up to 3.2GB memory (not sure though) -- AMD64 will also work for Intel 64bit CPUs as well.
[02:07] <guiscard> dark man so if it doesnt bother you i have some questions concerning the kernel upgrade because i want to fine-tune it with my system
[02:07] <faileas> ZykoticK9: in theory it should see up to 4 actually. the 3.2 gb is a windows thing
[02:07] <jolaren> Why do people install let's say ubuntu server 8.04 instead of 9.04 or 9.10?
[02:08] <dark> guiscard, then ask :)
[02:08] <faileas> jolaren: maybe they want an LTS?
[02:08] <spacitymedic> Ok Dark, I typed in that  thing to show me what I have installed...
[02:08] <jolaren> faileas; Oh, right
[02:08] <spacitymedic>  it popped some stuff up...
[02:08] <spacitymedic> AAAnd now I'm not sure which ones to delete...
[02:08] <dark> spacitymedic, may i give you some advice? don't uninstall any kernel
[02:08] <c0re> using synaptic will better
[02:08] <faileas> spacitymedic: unless you're REALLY short of space, don't bother uninstalling it
[02:09] <Don_Miguel> ZykoticK9, faileas,  so it will not mess with anything but my time TRYING to use the AMD64 iso ?
[02:09] <c0re> set
[02:09] <spacitymedic> Got it... but Im not sure what to select when Im booting up.
[02:09] <faileas> Don_Miguel: it will, at worst, fail.
[02:09] <Don_Miguel> LOL
[02:09] <guiscard> dark thanks, so first question: how do I begin with from source? I'm going to download it from kernel.org and compile myself on this ubuntu 9.10
[02:09] <trism> spacitymedic: the first ubuntu entry will be the newest, which is what you want
[02:09] <dark> spacitymedic, there is no need. you don't waste any space really. (you are "wasting" 85mb in space because the system installs error messages in russian and hebrew. what is the problem in keeping a 2mb, 3mb kernel? @.@)
[02:10] <dark> guiscard, if you can at all, don't. just apt-cache search kernel source (maybe it will show all sources available to download via apt-get)
[02:10] <ZykoticK9> Don_Miguel, does "lscpu" show x86_64 for architecture?
[02:10] <faileas> guiscard: there's a thread on how to do it in the forums. or you can use kernelcheck... if you totally have to
[02:10] <dark> guiscard, hmm. apt-cache search kernel source isn't the right way to search it. wait
[02:11] <spacitymedic> the problem is tha they are all named the same.
[02:11] <spacitymedic>  and there are several of them.
[02:11] <dark> guiscard, apt-cache search linux-source. in fact, sudo apt-get install linux-source will install the source for the lastest kernel
[02:11] <dark> spacitymedic, hmmmm... really? i don't think so.... @.@
[02:11] <dark> spacitymedic, how you installed them?
[02:12] <faileas> spacitymedic: the version number should be different
[02:12] <nikolatesla> hello
[02:12] <nikolatesla> can u tell me where i can find a GKismet package for Hardy?
[02:13] <blakkheim> nikolatesla: just use kismet
[02:13] <cl0vvn> I was here not long ago with a kernel issue: I googled my problem and came up with "Make sure your memory is properly seated"
[02:13] <cl0vvn> I have a laptop so I cannot properly do this
[02:13] <guiscard> dark but then how do i configure it after the apt installation?
[02:13] <init2winit77> does any one have ideas on how to solve a problem with pictures folder freezing up?  This is the only folder that does it and its only on one of the computers user accounts and not others
[02:13] <Don_Miguel>  ZykoticK9, I got   bash: lscpu: command not found
[02:13] <Don_Miguel>   
[02:13] <cl0vvn> Also, older versions of the kernel seem to work just fine
[02:13] <dark> spacitymedic, I have only one kernel installed here. When I type dpkg -L linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic|grep vmlinuz , it shows this file: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic. it's the kernel
[02:14] <cl0vvn> like 2.6.28-16, -15, etc.
[02:14] <Don_Miguel>  faileas, Thank you ... nothing ventured, nothing gained ... I just did not want to fry my primary box !!
[02:14] <dark> guiscard, hmmm.. i think it's make menuconfig. but it's a looooooooooooong journey....
[02:14] <dark> guiscard, why do you want to build the kernel? for fun?
[02:14] <Don_Miguel> ZykoticK9, what am I missing there ...?
[02:14] <ZykoticK9> Don_Miguel, perhaps lscpu is only on 9.10 - what version you using?
[02:15] <Don_Miguel> ZykoticK9, 9.04
[02:15] <ZykoticK9> Don_Miguel, on older versions you can use "cat /proc/cpuinfo" but it doesn't have such a nice clean answer to "is my cpu 64 bit"
[02:15] <Baribal> Hi. I've got a cell phone, a Samsung J700V, and I switched it to bulk storage device mode. But when I plug it in, nothing happens. How can I change that?
[02:16] <Baribal> (and yes, I googled, but didn't find anything)
[02:16] <dark> guiscard, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menuconfig http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ/KernelCompilation
[02:17] <Don_Miguel> ZykoticK9, how about his ?  clflush size	: 64
[02:17] <ZykoticK9> Don_Miguel, not the same thing!  you'd have to google the CPU name to verify that it is 64bit
[02:18] <Yoman> how do I access public windows shares remotely in linux?
[02:18] <Don_Miguel> ZykoticK9, model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E4500  @ 2.20GHz
[02:18] <guiscard> dark yes i want to build for fun too but mostly because audio is not working properly
[02:18] <smiley> yoman: apt-get install smbfs
[02:19] <ZykoticK9> Don_Miguel, i'm "pretty" sure all the Core2Duo's are infact 64 bit
[02:19] <smiley> sudo mkdir /media/windowsshare
[02:19] <Don_Miguel> ZykoticK9, THAT was also MY understanding
[02:19] <smiley> sudo mount -t smbfs //someipaddress/someshare /media/windowsshare -o username

[02:19] <cl0vvn> google was no help
[02:19] <dark> guiscard, if you are doing this for fun, (:D), set it up to build while you are sleeping. unless you want to actually watch it. (it's cool in a ctrl+alt+f1~6 @.@ for some reason i feel like if cypher where next to me saying "i don't see those symbols anymore, i see the usb subsystem, the ext2 fs..")
[02:19] <root> remote-exploit
[02:20] <dark> guiscard, hmm. here the audio isn't working properly. but the problem is pulseaudio. :(

[02:20] <ZykoticK9> Don_Miguel, yup it's 64bit (so AMD64 would work for ya) http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2duo/specifications.htm?iid=prod_core2duo+tab_spec

[02:21] <Guest23570> thanks you
[02:22] <Don_Miguel> ZykoticK9, THANK YOU ... I will download the AMD64.iso .. and install tomorrow night !!
[02:22] <dark> Guest23570, don't access irc as root. it's like having sex without condom. you /know/ there is no virus, i see, but more protection is never too much..
[02:22] <Yoman> smiley, ok thanks ^^
[02:22] <brummbaer> kamakow: rhythmbox?
[02:22] <whyface> other reasons exist
[02:23] <brummbaer> kamakow: rhythmbox works great w/ my sisters ipod...
[02:23] <Yoman> kinja-sheep, what I ment is accessing a computer remotely, that isn't on my lan
[02:23] <cl0vvn> I have received this error when attempting to boot up. ACPI: Aborted because no cpio magic, crc error, Kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0). Google only told me to check if my memory was properly seated (I have a laptop). Can anyone help me on this?
[02:23] <smiley> Joogle: get to work.
[02:23] <bluefox83> ok, i need a guide to upgrade my home server box from 8.10 to 9.04
[02:24] <zetheroo> I am really having a hard time sharing printers in Karmic
[02:24] <c0re> cl0vvn: do u look in /etc/fstab
[02:24] <kinja-sheep> !upgrading | bluefox83
[02:24] <zetheroo> I have the printer Shared but the other Ubuntu machine cannot see it
[02:24] <zetheroo> and then when it does see it 9 times out of 10 print jobs do not go through
[02:25] <cl0vvn> I can't find that directory, c0re
[02:25] <smiley> zetharoo: look into setting up CUPS
[02:25] <kinja-sheep> Yoman: I'm not sure for "outside of LAN" --  smiley might know something.
[02:25] <zetheroo> smiley: why should I have to do that?
[02:25] <seaoflove> i have ubuntu and i have software to wireshark my router in promiscious mode but i only get my own data. how do i see all please.
[02:25] <cl0vvn> oh, nevermind found it
[02:25] <c0re> cl0vvn: may be u need to load up with live cd and start troubleshoot :)
[02:25] <cl0vvn> This is on the file:
[02:25] <cl0vvn>  /etc/fstab: static file system information.
[02:25] <cl0vvn> #
[02:25] <cl0vvn> # Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a

[02:26] <Yoman> kinja-sheep, ok thanks =)
[02:26] <warinthepocket> http://alpha2delta.blogspot.com/
[02:26] <buddhajuke> Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch between US keyboard layout and dvorak?
[02:26] <guiscard> dark lmao i pressed that key combinations
[02:26] <smiley> Yoman: outside of lan? sorry, i wasnt paying attention
[02:26] <dark> guiscard, wow you didn't knew?!
[02:26] <kinja-sheep> warinthepocket: Please do not advertise it here.
[02:26] <Cubey> anyone know how to turn off the on-screen volume meter that comes up when you use keyboard volume controls?
[02:26] <dark> guiscard, how you were back?:)
[02:26] <guiscard> dark i tried f7
[02:27] <jgcampbell300> hi, what is the easiest most powerfull way to run windows apps on ubuntu, mostly games
[02:27] <cl0vvn> c0re: I'm looking at fstab
[02:27] <cl0vvn> what should I be looking for?
[02:27] <dark> guiscard, yes :) you can also have an f8 for another graphical interface, entirely detached for you one
[02:27] <ZykoticK9> jgcampbell300, check out "wine"
[02:27] <Cubey> jgcampbell300: if you want free, wine.
[02:27] <Awesome3000> jgcampbell300 don't run linux games instead
[02:27] <c0re> cl0vvn: look for mount destination and other options
[02:27] <kf__> i have installd the debian but it isn't installed the wireless network
[02:27] <kinja-sheep> jgcampbell300: If you need to run Windows applications, dual-boot.
[02:27] <jgcampbell300> kk wine it is ... some games are not made for linux
[02:28] <dark> guiscard, also,  you chould have more than 6 consoles, if you configure the kernel. or less.
[02:28] <Pici> kf__: Then ask in #debian
[02:28] <Yoman> smiley, but smbfs can still do that no?
[02:28] <c0re> cl0vvn: here is the link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[02:28] <Cubey> jgcampbell300: better off with a dual boot system if you want to play games. ubuntu makes it very easy to do this
[02:28] <cl0vvn> oh ok
[02:28] <cl0vvn> thanks
[02:28] <smiley> Yoman: can do what?
[02:28] <jgcampbell300> lol i am duel booting ... i hate windows and want to learn as much as i can about linux to slay the MS Beast :)
[02:28] <kf__> and it didn't install my network-manager!
[02:28] <Yoman> smiley, mount public shares outside of lan
[02:29] <toro> im using geforce 9400m g with nvidia drivers on my laptop. current max resolution is 1366x768. would it be possible to increase this?
[02:29] <smiley> kf__: edit /etc/network/interfaces
[02:29] <Pici> kf__: We do not support debian here. You need to ask in #debian
[02:29] <smiley> Yoman: hmm.. i feel that smbfs won't work outside of your lan
[02:29] <dark> guiscard, in fact, if you are in the level of recompiling the kernel, you can change pretty much everything, because everything else is easier to compile than the kernel. but, you will have to follow a tutorial on how you might load the your sound card module into the kernel (if this is your problem at all - it is?)
[02:29] <kf__> oh,sorry!
[02:29] <Cubey> jgcampbell300: go check the wine appdb, most wont run well. there is a commercially available piece of software that helps runs windows games better.. the name escapes me though... cadgera? or something like that..
[02:29] <kf__> yesteday i ask in debian for ubuntu
[02:30] <Cubey> hmm..so, know one knows how to disable the on-screen volume meter that pops up?
[02:30] <jgcampbell300> ok thanks much
[02:30] <kf__> today i ask debian 's questions in #ubuntu
[02:30] <guiscard> dark yes it's a problem with the sound card
[02:30] <kf__> but now i still in ubuntu 9.10
[02:30] <Awesome3000> can i delete my Xorg.conf to reset it
[02:30] <airliasdesign> Does anyone here know Ubuntu Server Clouding
[02:30] <dark> guiscard, but you have to mess with the kernel? are you sure?
[02:30] <dark> guiscard, maybe you should try some lspcis, modprobes, and the like, first (unless you are sure)
[02:31] <ZykoticK9> Awesome3000, better to move then delete "sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup" sorta thing
[02:31] <airliasdesign> Does anyone here actually run a Ubuntu cloud?
[02:31] <Awesome3000> thanks will try
[02:31] <dark> airliasdesign, are you talking about ubuntu one?
[02:31] <airliasdesign> dark: no
[02:31] <guiscard> dark  i think so because with some games the audio cranks then fades
[02:31] <airliasdesign> I'm talking about the clouding of multiple servers
[02:31] <airliasdesign> scaling the power
[02:32] <Pici> airliasdesign: #ubuntu-server would be a better place to ask, but its not nearly as active as this channel.
[02:32] <dark> guiscard, and how you hope to fix it recompiling the kernel?
[02:32] <airliasdesign> ok
[02:32] <kf__> i even think that other countries debian is more popular
[02:32] <dark> guiscard, the odds is that the problem lies somewhere else. (but recompiling it is fun, and it makes you an excellent opportunity to install the -ck patch, that might give you better gaming performance)
[02:32] <airliasdesign> LOL I don't think anyone is in Ubuntu-Server
[02:32] <Hilikus> what happens to the metadata if i rsync files to a remote server and that server doesnt have the same users??
[02:32] <dark> guiscard, (or might burn down your monitor, who knows)
[02:33] <duffman> hi
[02:33] <duffman> problem
[02:33] <guiscard> dark sweet
[02:33] <cl0vvn> Cannot find the "update to 9.10" option on my update manager for some reason, how do i do so otherwise?
[02:33] <kf__> who can tell me that what downloader is better?
[02:33] <dark> guiscard, is you gaming through wine/cedega?
[02:33] <Awesome3000> clown it is in the update options to show full version updates
[02:34] <airliasdesign> AHHH
[02:34] <duffman> showing ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/jiberish can't load dropping to shell
[02:34] <guiscard> dark it's native
[02:34] <airliasdesign> I'm still deciding
[02:34] <airliasdesign> do I install Windows 7 as the base
[02:34] <airliasdesign> and virtualize linux
[02:34] <dark> guiscard, what game it is?
[02:34] <airliasdesign> or do I install linux as the base
[02:34] <airliasdesign> and virtualize windows 7
[02:34] <FloodBot1> airliasdesign: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:34] <guiscard> dark heroes of newerth
[02:34] <kf__> WIN7 is so frequency to access harddisk!
[02:34] <dark> guiscard, the sound is bad, but the video is ok? is this game 3D?
[02:35] <kf__> i am worried that my harddisk will be hard!
[02:35] <jschall> airliasdesign: or do you install linux as base
[02:35] <jschall> airliasdesign: and not even touch windows 7
[02:35] <jgcampbell300> When i am browsing the web my fire fox seems to be loading slow ... not like the speed of the connection but the graphics seem to be laging on the machine side ... any ideas
[02:35] <Pici> !ot
[02:35] <airliasdesign> Does anyone here run an actual Ubuntu Cloud?
[02:36] <guiscard> dark yes 3d, the video is fine only the audio has issues
[02:36] <duffman> im barley running ubuntu as it is
[02:36] <cl0vvn> how can I update to 9.10? update manager does not show an option for it
[02:36] <bleepbloop> I just downloaded unetbootin on my netbook thats running UNR 9.10, and when I click on it to open it I get the message "7z not found:  7z not found. This is required for either install mode.  Install the ''p7zip-full'' package or your distribution's equivalent.", where can I find ubuntus equivalnt?
[02:36] <mattgyver> Anyone have any problems with the adobe update on 9.04, just wondering if its worth updating cuz the last update broke it ;x
[02:36] <UberTaco> jgcampbell300: honestly, I've had similar issues with Firefox. My solution was just to switch to chromium
[02:36] <dark> guiscard, it's pulseaudio.
[02:37] <UberTaco> but your mileage may vary
[02:37] <dark> guiscard, I had audio problems with.... zsnes. in a nvidia card.
[02:37] <jgcampbell300> hmm i could give that a try
[02:37] <user123> how can I add a command to the menu that pops up when I do a right click? I would like to add an option to securely erase files (write 1s or 0s several times)
[02:37] <dark> guiscard, i don't remember how i fixed it, but the solution wasn't specific to zsnes.
[02:37] <[uNF]> hello, I installed ubuntu, I was wondering how I could get my webcam working... I'm new to linux and have no idea what would be like "device manager" for linux...
[02:37] <ZykoticK9> bleepbloop, "apt-get install p7zip-full" should do the trick
[02:38] <UberTaco> [uNF]: what model is your webcam?
[02:38] <duffman> anyone, ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/jiberish/ dropping to shell
[02:38] <bleepbloop> ZykoticK9: just that in the terminal?
[02:38] <[uNF]> UberTaco, it's just an on board cam in my monitor...
[02:38] <UberTaco> you might try checking the hardware compatibility list
[02:38] <Awesome3000> cl0vvn in the settings for update manager there is an option to show full updates or long release or none check that
[02:38] <mattgyver> jgcampbell300, are you using firebug, that killed it for me in firefox
[02:38] <ZykoticK9> bleepbloop, with a sudo before it yes
[02:38] <UberTaco> oh. Interesting.
[02:38] <duffman> bleepbloop: sud then that command
[02:38] <guiscard> dark the audio used to work fine in this game
[02:38] <[uNF]> UberTaco, i'm on a laptop...
[02:38] <kf__> me too
[02:38] <guiscard> dark recently it broke
[02:38] <duffman> sudo*
[02:39] <kf__> the new laptop
[02:39] <dark> guiscard, in the same version of ubuntu?
[02:39] <kf__> P8700 's cpu, 2g memory  320g harddisk
[02:39] <bleepbloop> ZykoticK9: so just "sudo apt-get install p7zip-full" ?
[02:39] <ZykoticK9> guiscard, with 9.10 i've given up playing most 3d games, due to audio being so terrible...  good luck man.
[02:39] <guiscard> yes
[02:39] <jgcampbell300> dont think so ... i have just installed ubuntu and went throu all the updates
[02:39] <ZykoticK9> bleepbloop, yup
[02:39] <kf__> it is 6000yuan in china
[02:40] <duffman> any ideas on my boot problem?
[02:40] <jschall> when will this whole "cloud" buzzword go away? its such a broad term that it just doesn't mean anything
[02:40] <guiscard> ZykoticK9, i think we as community should do something to fix this
[02:40] <mattgyver> jgcampbell300, im sure your not then.. Ive heard that disabling ipv6 helps too
[02:40] <user123> which app helps me backup my data automatically?
[02:41] <kf__> it seems that tar should!
[02:41] <ZykoticK9> guiscard, i hope and pray that 10.04 will be an improvement regarding audio...  other then that i really don't know what to do -- we are all stuck with Pulse, as the developers/Gnome wants it that way...
[02:41] <mattgyver> user123, i havent used them but you could try rsync or amanda
[02:41] <valuemysel> hi
[02:41] <airliasdesign> hey
[02:41] <bleepbloop> ZykoticK9: as an aside, how do you know it's will work in ubuntu?
[02:41] <valuemysel> i just a newer
[02:41] <airliasdesign> alright I just freed up room for 400 more site users
[02:41] <airliasdesign> LOL
[02:42] <bleepbloop> or is it just a universal enough thing that you can not worry abou tit
[02:42] <user123> how can I add scripts to the menu which pops up when I do a right click in nautilus?
[02:42] <bluefox83> where can i find an upgrade guide for 8.10?
[02:42] <Baribal> Anybody know how to interface with a Samsung cell phone?
[02:42] <Xfact> I want to backup hardy settings and files, which folder I should copy?
[02:42] <guiscard> ZykoticK9, a sad era for linux gamers
[02:42] <bluefox83> i have a headless machine running the desktop version of 8.10
[02:42] <ZykoticK9> bleepbloop, i had to install 7zip to get unetbootin working as well
[02:42] <valuemysel> it is a good thing
[02:42] <dark> guiscard, (it was after a kernel update?)
[02:42] <ZykoticK9> guiscard, agreed
[02:42] <bcool> okay, I try to mount a dvd through sudo mount /media/cdrom0/ and it says mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist. I am using 9.10
[02:42] <bleepbloop> ah okay haha
[02:42] <jschall> i like pulse but it has too many bugs to be ready for adoption. that's the problem with open source, though. if people don't USE the half-broken software, devs assume there's no demand for it and stop developing it. If there's lots of people using and complaining about it, then they try to fix the bugs.
[02:42] <cyberjorge> what's the command to copy an entire directoty?
[02:42] <bcool> any idea how to fix?
[02:42] <bluefox83> !upgrade
[02:43] <Xfact> everyone. I want to backup hardy settings and files, which folder I should copy?
[02:43] <kf__> xfact : what is it  worked for?a personal computer or a server?
[02:43] <jschall> so it pretty much has to be adopted to be developed and it has to be developed more before people will actually WANT to adopt it
[02:43] <duffman> anybody, boot problem?
[02:43] <cyberjorge> what's the command to copy an entire directory?
[02:43] <ZykoticK9> cyberjorge, "cp -r dir" -r for recursive
[02:43] <Xfact> kf__: it's my home personal computer....medium importance :)
[02:43] <cyberjorge> ZykoticK9: thanks
[02:43] <Awesome3000> Xfact the home folder + hiddens should do
[02:43] <Baribal> I'm upgrading *to* 9.10 ATM, and I hope Starcraft will recognize its CD more than 30% of the time, which is its rate now...
[02:43] <jschall> cyberjorge: rm -r works similarly, but deletes things. its way more awesome.
[02:44] <jschall> Baribal: you can just set wine to use an iso image.
[02:44] <cyberjorge> jschall: i should try that
[02:44] <Cubey> good god... is there no way to turn off that godawful drum sound at the login screen? :S
[02:44] <Xfact> Awesome3000: home folder and all hidden files in home folder?
[02:44] <Planetary_> I have nothing in my boot/grub folder. i want menu.lst so i can fix my boot problems. I am in live cd and had to install grub, i specified what device to boot from. it checks for stage 1 and says 'no' 'error 15'  help is appreciated
[02:44] <guiscard> guiscard, my ubuntu is clean-install yet in the sense that I haven't upgraded kernel or some hardcore component of the system
[02:44] <Cubey> It's not under sound, not under login screen....
[02:44] <guiscard> dark
[02:44] <Baribal> jschall, I'll look into it right after the upgrade. ^^
[02:44] <kf__> i wine the packet tracert 5 in ubuntu 9.10
[02:44] <kf__> but failed
[02:45] <chilli0> Is there anything like ollydbg in ubuntu ?
[02:45] <bcool> please don't tell me I have to downgrade to 9.04 again.
[02:45] <kf__> it seems that wine is not a good one!
[02:45] <Baribal> I also didn't get it to connect to Battlenet, I assume there's a solution for that, too?
[02:45] <Pici> !appdb
[02:45] <Awesome3000> Xfact  open your home folder show the hidden files, these hold all your settings
[02:46] <jschall> Baribal: i think you mount the iso image and then add it in winecfg (as e:, for example) and then add a symbolic link to the iso image itself named e:: in .wine/dosdevices
[02:46]  * Cubey sighs...
[02:46] <mattgyver> bcool, are you sure its scd0 and not scr0 ?
[02:46] <Xfact> Awesome3000: thanks for awesome help ;)
[02:46] <mattgyver> bcool, i meant sr0
[02:46] <bcool> I'm fairly certian.
[02:47] <kf__> i haven't backup my files!
[02:47] <jschall> Baribal: starcraft should work fine in wine. i've used it. battle.net menus are messed up though, you pretty much have to know where everything is
[02:47] <Awesome3000> Xfact no problem
[02:47] <dark> guiscard, ok. so, you game were working properly in a previous version of ubuntu?
[02:47] <valuemysel> 汉语
[02:47] <maco> !cn | valuemysel
[02:47] <dark> guiscard, or in this very own ubuntu 9.10 that you are using now? please be informative
[02:47] <Xfact> !english
[02:48] <Cubey> For gods sakes people, if you want windows games, use windows...
[02:48] <[uNF]> I have a webcam inside my laptop monitor, and i'm trying to get it to work on ubuntu,  any suggestions?
[02:48] <Cubey> rebooting isn't going to kill you
[02:48] <Cubey> >:|
[02:48] <valuemysel> ok
[02:48] <valuemysel> ok
[02:48] <guiscard> dark it was working properly
[02:48] <jschall> Cubey: ok, are you offering to pay?
[02:48] <guiscard> in this very own version
[02:48] <mattgyver> bcool, i cant remember how to figure out what its actually at but the error message is deffinately saying scd0 isnt a valid point
[02:48] <ZykoticK9> [uNF], install cheese and see if your webcam works there
[02:48] <dark> Cubey, nope. I don't even own windows. But I do love aoe2 and diablo2. :(
[02:48] <Cubey> jschall: No more than I am willing to buy your games for you.
[02:48] <jschall> Cubey: some people have principles, too.
[02:48] <bcool> it worked like 3 days ago.
[02:48] <[uNF]> ZykoticK9, what is cheese?
[02:49] <Cubey> jschall: Do you buy your games? If so, buy windows.
[02:49] <ZykoticK9> [uNF], believe it or not a webcam program
[02:49] <dark> guiscard, and.. it stopped working after what? you don't have a clue?
[02:49] <[uNF]> ZykoticK9, lol alright i'll give it a try, thanks.
[02:49] <kf__> it is chinese,i am a chinese too!
[02:49] <mattgyver> bcool, put a cd in the drive and type 'df' see if it recognizes a device ... i dont know if it will or not
[02:49] <chilli0> Is there anything like ollydbg in ubuntu ?
[02:49] <jschall> Cubey: yes, i buy games, and they work fine in ubuntu. thanks for your concern, you can go to #windows now
[02:49] <bcool> I don't see it.
[02:50] <dark> Cubey, I had a windows license in another computer, that I can't use in this computer. And I am not willing to buy windows, because I am not willing to run windows. (Also my games work just fine)
[02:50] <ZykoticK9> jschall, that's ##windows actually ;)
[02:50] <duffman> missing modules cat /proc modules is /dev
[02:50] <Cubey> jschall: May as well, no one here wants to help with anything but windows games
[02:50] <guiscard> dark no idea, one day i turn on the system open this game and audio is malfunctioning
[02:50] <bleepbloop> ZykoticK9: ah yesssss, it worked, thanks!
[02:50] <mattgyver> try; sudo fdisk -l     (you might still not see it)
[02:50] <dark> guiscard, ... did you updated something?
[02:50] <jschall> Cubey: then they should go to #winehq
[02:50] <ZykoticK9> bleepbloop, :)
[02:50] <dark> guiscard, now i am less certain it's pulseaudio. but it just looks like.
[02:50] <Cubey> jschall: Yeah, they should. I came in asking ubuntu questions and got drowned out by the game junk,.
[02:51] <jschall> Cubey: what was your question?
[02:51] <bcool> nope, still not there.
[02:51] <dark> Yeah! #winehq is a very nice channel to talk about running games with wine. but I think that, even if wine isn't officially supported by canonical, it's community-supported, and its support could be held here
[02:51] <Cubey> I had two actually. the latest was if anyone knows how to disable the drum sound in 9.10 at the login screen. I have checked everything... sound, login screen...
[02:51] <guiscard> dark hm hard to answer this question, for instance how do I check the last updates?
[02:51] <dark> unless some op come here to rule otherwise :)
[02:52] <dark> guiscard, ... hmm. i don't know. o.o
[02:52] <jschall> Cubey: the login screen preferences tool has been lobotomized, from what i've seen.
[02:52] <dark> guiscard, i would like to know too
[02:52] <zkoo> Cubey: drum sound?  is that kde iirc?
[02:52] <duffman> ok so no one, help, booting problem?
[02:52] <mattgyver> bcool, my last suggestion is view your /dev/ directory and try manually mounting any of the sr# drives, sudo mount /dev/sr0# /media/cdrom0
[02:52] <Cubey> jschall: Yeah. it looks like the classic Mac OS\
[02:52] <mattgyver> bleh, that should have said /dev/sr#
[02:52] <Ratizar> i have a problem my wifi doesnt work and it was working with kubuntu
[02:52] <Cubey> zkoo: No, it's the ubuntu login screen. (I have gnome & XFCE installed)
[02:53] <Planetary_> just did an install and grub doesnt seem to be there. grub find/boot/grub/stage1     error 15 file not found
[02:53] <Losha> guiscard: a chronological list of all updates to your system is in /var/log/dpkg.log*
[02:53] <Awesome3000> chilli0 gdb ( www.gnu.org/software/gdb/  ) might be good
[02:53] <zkoo> bcool: does "dmesg | grep -i dvd" return anything?
[02:53] <Ratizar> !wifi
[02:53] <Cubey> zkoo: it does it when the login screen comes up. doesn't seem to be associated with gnome, xfce, or any other window manager
[02:54] <duffman> is there another irc channel for help?
[02:54] <zkoo> bcool: how is it connected?  scsi? ide? sata?
[02:54] <bcool> sata
[02:54] <dark> duffman, for help on what?
[02:54] <duffman> box won't boot
[02:54] <jschall> Cubey: well, i'm trying to find something in gconf, but it might not be there... have you tried sound preferences, sound theme, "no sound?"
[02:54] <guiscard> Losha, thank you man nice timing
[02:54] <duffman> ive been posting the problem for 15 minutes
[02:55] <Baribal> Argh... A curse upon Samsung and their incompetence to make proper USB bulk storage devices...
[02:55] <dark> duffman, ask again (i didn't saw your question)
[02:55] <chilli0> Awesome3000,  Is there any nice guis for it like olly ?
[02:55] <Cubey> jschall: does nothing. like i said, seems to be detached from that..
[02:55] <duffman> ok, cool with that.
[02:55] <bcool> zkoo the command you gave me returns nothing
[02:55] <dark> duffman, maybe it's too hard that's why nobody can help :( but ask once more ^^
[02:55] <Cubey> I have the alert sound disabled and muted and turned all the way down...
[02:56] <Cubey> it does it when the login screen comes up, not upon login to gnome/XFCE
[02:56] <john3> Hey guys, if I use a ubuntu 9.10 livecd, is the entire disk automatically loaded to the ram or only the parts it needs as i use it? also, when usiing the live cd is there ANY data written to the local hard drive that could leave potential traces?thanks
[02:56] <duffman> missing modules cat /proc/modules: ls /dev, ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/jiberish does not exist dropping to shell
[02:56] <dark> john3, only what is actually being used
[02:56] <Awesome3000> chilli0 try DDD
[02:56] <soreau> john3: It wont do anything to the hard drive unless you tell it to explicitly
[02:56] <Cahu> Hmm, so I'm trying Ubuntu for the first time, can anyone help me?
[02:56] <dark> john3, no data being written; everything you download is stored on ram
[02:57] <Awesome3000> chilli0   http://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/
[02:57] <soreau> john3: and everything you do is in ram so will not be saved in any way
[02:57] <Cahu> I can't add this network.
[02:57] <zkoo> bcool: if you run "cat /sys/class/block/*/removable" do you see any 1s? or is it all 0s
[02:57] <paissad> i would like to understand something about speed rate of (rsync,scp) .... actually my speed rate average is always about 1,5MB/s, and if  i understand correctly, speed rate cannot exceed 3MB/s for wireless card ..... then why don't i reach 3MB/s ?
[02:57] <Cubey> ..unless you mount the hard drive and save to it.....
[02:57] <john3> soreau, dark, thanks. sounds great!
[02:57] <bcool> the last 5 are 1's
[02:58] <chilli0> Awesome3000,  I had that but Its not working O= I get this erreol /home/sysdeps/i386/elf/start.S : no such file or directory
[02:58] <dark> john3, (to be honest, it on boot will try to *read* the partition table, and some other things, so that it can know the basics of your hd layout if you want to install. but this is usually non-invasive and it will not attempt to write if you don't tell them to)
[02:58] <Awesome3000> Cahu what do you nned help with
[02:58] <dark> duffman, ok, i have this kind of problem regularly o.o
[02:58] <custos> #ubuntu
[02:58] <guiscard> dark I didn't do updates to the system
[02:58] <zkoo> bcool: do you have an external hd or some usb key or some other removable thing?  you might try seeing which things are removable then with "ls /sys/class/block/*" (a dvd would show up as a removable block device)
[02:58] <duffman> seems simple dark worked an hour ago
[02:58] <jschall> Cubey: here's one article i found: http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/09/hack-karmics-gdm-login-screen.html
[02:59] <gabrielyg> hola mundo
[02:59] <duffman> i didn't even change anything
[02:59] <dark> duffman, maybe your disk is corrupted?
[02:59] <Awesome3000> chilli0 not sure what to do about the error. Suppose you've tryed reinstalling
[02:59] <guiscard> dark i installed some packages like multimedia stuff (vlc, mplayer).
[02:59] <custos> where can i turn to for help?
[02:59] <dark> guiscard, .-. hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
[02:59] <chilli0> Awesome3000,  I think i found the answer
[02:59] <Daughain> Can someone tell me what package(s) I need to compile C?
[02:59] <Awesome3000> custos This is the place
[02:59] <gabrielyg> speak spains?????????????????????
[02:59] <custos> where can i turn to for help?
[03:00] <Losha> paissad: there is always overhead in these things: headers, checksums, retransmissions due to errors/dropouts etc. Also, the 'rated' speeds are a bit like car mileage numbers: somewhat optimistic numbers based on ideal conditions which never happen outside the laboratory....
[03:00] <duffman> well its a box i only vnc into, i hit irw and then plugged in the ir device. kinda backwards, froze everything rebooted that computer fucked this one ok
[03:00] <dark> guiscard, hey!! installing vlc and mplayer can cause pulseaudio or libalsa to upgrade. and this can cause a regression (introduce a bug that didn't existed)
[03:00] <dark_> hello
[03:00] <bcool> I have no removable media except the dvd in.
[03:00] <guiscard> dark O_o
[03:00] <Cahu> Okay, well after playing around a bit, I went to "Edit Connections" from the taskbar-esque thing at the top (not literate with the Ubutnu terminology, stick with me here :/ ). I highlight my home wireless network, and hit add. A window pops up and the "Apply" button is shaded (I'm guessing a required field isn't entered). I don't really know what goes in the feilds.
[03:00] <theshadow> ubuntu 9.10 Dell Studio XPS I can't get the touch pad working, Xorg.0.log has "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad The /dev/input/event* device nodes seem to be missing" USB mouse works fine. Can anyone help?
[03:00] <dark> duffman, you don't have physical access to it?
[03:00] <duffman> i do
[03:00] <bcool> and that command you gave me gave a lot of output
[03:00] <gabrielyg> alguien habla españollllllllllllllllllllllllll???????????????'
[03:00] <duffman> i plugged in a keyboard and booted it to find this error
[03:00] <Losha> !es | gabrielyg
[03:00] <bcool> hint for what I am looking for?
[03:00] <Scunizi> Can I just copy the PPD file?  Explaination: CUPS has drivers for Brother Printer (some MFC versions) but also seems to have the brscan3 stuff installed.. can I just move the ppd file to the right directory and have it available for setup?
[03:00] <dark> duffman, what about pasting me the partition table? through paste.ubuntu.com
[03:01] <iflema> duffman: you up in a live cd now?
[03:01] <dark> guiscard, :( but i am saying that to confirm my theory that pulseaudio is guilty
[03:01] <custos> Great. Im having problems with my grafik card. Nvidia. I've installed PlayOnLinux along with steam and Killing Floor. I cant manage to edit my settings so the frequency go higher then my screen can manage. It says something like "81. hz/ 65 hz".
[03:01] <duffman> no if I hit esc during the ubuntu booting logo i get this shel
[03:01] <Cubey> jschall: Thanks, reading...
[03:01] <paissad> Losha, ok, 3MB/s is the something really really .... hard to reach in  such conditions then !
[03:01] <custos> I have seaecht for solutions but nada...
[03:01] <dark> guiscard, I am the promotor here. He is always guilty
[03:01] <duffman> i couldn't really paste from it, i could email you a mediocre cell phone pic.
[03:02] <Losha> paissad: probably never happens outside of a testing lab....
[03:02] <dark> duffman, Hmmm. yeah, hehehe, sorry. Don't. Tell me which partitions you have
[03:02] <guiscard> dark lmao yeah but I believe you are spot on
[03:02] <duffman> should be the norm 3 partitions
[03:02] <duffman> its one ide drive
[03:03] <duffman> no fdisk on this cmd prompt
[03:03] <oistopthat> custos what driver u using
[03:03] <dark> duffman, if it says that a partition don't exist *by uuid*, it either a) was misconfigured somehow, b) had a bad damage in the partition that also happened to damage its uuid
[03:03] <iflema> duffman: fsck
[03:03] <duffman> not found
[03:03] <oistopthat> and what vid card is this exactly
[03:03] <paissad> Losha, btw, i thought that the lan had nothing to do with the wan ... because when i use rsync or scp  .... my bandwith for internet is strongly reduced ... almost over ... that means that rsync/scp uses my bandwith
[03:03] <Xfact> ubuntu is made for all time Internet connected computers, using for a moment and then disconnecting or reusing later is not that easy in this OS///
[03:03] <dark> guiscard, what means 'spot on'?
[03:04] <duffman> its dev/disk/by-uuid/about 100 chars of jiberish
[03:04] <dark> hmmm..
[03:04] <Awesome3000> Cahu what version of ubuntu are you using?
[03:04] <dark> duffman, ls /dev/sd* /dev/hd*
[03:05] <bleepbloop> is there a way I can find the equivalent command in ubuntu linux to a command in mac os x?
[03:05] <kinja-sheep> dark: http://tinyurl.com/2l4vlx
[03:05] <Awesome3000> bleepbloop which command
[03:05] <bcool> zkoo, I see nothing in the output from the command you gave me that looks like the dvdrom drive.
[03:05] <duffman> ok
[03:05] <duffman> nothing on hd*
[03:05] <dark> kinja-sheep, hello?
[03:05] <dark> duffman, can you boot it from a pen drive or live cd? easier
[03:05] <duffman> yeah i can throw a live cd in
[03:06] <bleepbloop> Awesome3000: 'diskutil' I want to see what the pen drive is called so I use unetbootin on the right disk :-P
[03:06] <dark> duffman, please :) any sd*?
[03:06] <duffman> sd* returned about 6 entries though
[03:06] <guiscard> dark i think it means you are right about what's causing the problem
[03:06] <Losha> paissad: depends on your hardware. Regular ethernet is rated at what, 10 mb/s ? Which in practice means you'll probably get about 3mb/s out of it after overhead...
[03:06] <bcool> I am like 2 minutes away from wiping 9.10 and going back to 9.04
[03:06] <duffman> i have an ubuntu 9.04 live
[03:06] <zkoo> bcool: what are the removable ones called?
[03:06] <bleepbloop> Awesome3000: or if you just know of a command that could help me that woudl be awesome
[03:06] <zkoo> bcool: are any sda sdb or something like that?
[03:07] <iflema> duffman: a file system check may do it... go live and check it.
[03:07] <duffman> ok
[03:07] <bcool> I see 2 sdb and 8 sda
[03:07] <dark> guiscard, many many many many people rant about it because it is so buggy. here the sound was crappy, with ultra-light emulators, dropping frames etc
[03:07] <Awesome3000> bleepbloop are you in gnome
[03:07] <bcool> only the first sda is removable
[03:07] <dark> guiscard, i think i removed it o.o (i can't verify now, i am on a livecd)
[03:07] <Drknzz> Hi guys, how can i edit menu.lst if it isnt there any longer?
[03:08] <bleepbloop> Awesome3000: if that's what Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 is, yeah
[03:08] <duffman> ok how do i go about a file check
[03:08] <dark> kinja-sheep, oh :) thank you
[03:08] <Losha> bcool: tried  sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0  ?
[03:08]  * dark is still learning english
[03:08] <Drknzz> !grub > Drknzz
[03:08] <kinja-sheep> dark: ;-)
[03:08] <zkoo> bcool: do you know if sda is a hard drive or is it possible your dvd?
[03:08] <paissad> Losha, my ethernet card is 100Mb/s , about 12MB/s then .... but the thing i don't understand is why rsync uses the internet bandwidth, i expected it to be like copying between 2 hards disk via usb ! .... i mean a local network
[03:08] <duffman> how do I do file check
[03:08] <dark> duffman, you are already in the livecd?
[03:08] <duffman> yes
[03:08] <Awesome3000> bleepbloop  Try system/Administration/Disk Utility
[03:08] <zkoo> bcool: wait, how is there more than one sda?  is one sda1 or something?
[03:08] <Drknzz> !grub2 > Drknzz
[03:09] <dark> duffman, first see the partition table
[03:09] <guiscard> dark don't worry man i speak engrish we try
[03:09] <bcool> yes zkoo
[03:09] <duffman> ok how
[03:09] <bcool> I have two partitions on this
[03:09] <iflema> duffman: youll need to identify what partition youll need to scan
[03:09] <dark> duffman, fdisk or cfdisk or gparted (sorry for my delays, i am also eating o.o)
[03:09] <duffman> its cool
[03:09] <bcool> losha, the command you gave me doesn't work.
[03:09]  * dark dinners in front of the pc
[03:09] <duffman> ok give it a few to load the os
[03:09] <Quan-Time> anyone know anything about making sun java the default one to use ? i follow the guide http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-ubuntu-linux-install-configure-jdk-jre/ and it doesnt do waht i need, ideas ? 9.10 karmic x64
[03:09] <Losha> guiscard: having pulseaudio problems in 9.X ?
[03:09] <duffman> i just had the live disk up
[03:09] <zkoo> bcool: oh, wierd, i woulnd't think it would mark a partition of your hard drive as removable
[03:09] <Losha> !work
[03:09] <dark> guiscard, laughts
[03:09] <bcool> sda is marked removable
[03:10] <bcool> sda1-7 is not
[03:10] <dark> duffman, ok ^^
[03:10] <Xfact> everyone, in Karmic it showing my HDD has lots of bad sectors, i that just a warning or it can solve the problem also?
[03:10] <bleepbloop> Awesome3000: idk how to get to that :-P
[03:10] <zkoo> bcool: ok nm that then
[03:10] <zkoo> bcool: you probably need to load a kernel module
[03:10] <Losha> bcool: what *exactly* does it say?
[03:10] <dark> guiscard, you are from where?
[03:10] <duffman> which partition will we be looking for the boot, swap or file?
[03:10] <dark> guiscard, (ps: search the foruns on how fix pulseaudio or get rid of it)
[03:10] <bcool> Losha, mount: special device /dev/sr0 does not exist
[03:10] <duffman> boot?
[03:10] <guiscard> dark brazil and you?
[03:11] <dark> duffman, the root partition, /, i guess
[03:11] <dark> guiscard, risos
[03:11] <dark> guiscard, me also
[03:11] <duffman> ok its up loading a term now
[03:11] <Losha> paissad: what kind of timings do you see copying from disk to disk not over usb?
[03:11] <duffman> which is up
[03:11] <duffman> so fdisk>?
[03:11] <dark> guiscard, please join #ubuntu-br also ^^
[03:11] <dark> duffman, cfdisk /dev/sda i think
[03:11] <Awesome3000> bleepbloop gnome is a GUI of
[03:11] <Awesome3000> Ubuntu Give me a moment i'll try find a terminal command
[03:11] <dark> but first ls /dev/sd*
[03:11] <Losha> guiscard: I had good luck with this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html
[03:12] <bcool> ok zkoo, do you have any idea what module needs loaded and a link on a tutorial that would tell me how to do it?
[03:12] <guiscard> dark ok
[03:12] <squidly> Xfact: virui exist for almost all systems
[03:13] <zkoo> bcool: so is the dvd drive hooked up to the same sata controller as your hard drive?
[03:13] <Losha> bcool: does dmesg | egrep sr show that the kernel saw the dvd drive during bootup?
[03:13] <duffman> ok im doing this vnc because the screen on this box is a tv and its super hard to read the terminal font
[03:13] <Xfact> squidly: it's not a big issue?
[03:13] <dark> hmmm
[03:13] <duffman> or not.
[03:13] <duffman> nvm
[03:13] <squidly> lol..
[03:13] <Awesome3000> bleepbloop try fdisk -l  you might need to sudo that
[03:14] <Cubey> ugh, xsplash needs to be compiled. and i can't get synpatic to behave to install a seemingly needed gtk lib.
[03:14] <duffman> this is a pain, i can barley read a word
[03:14] <guiscard> dark we are dominating
[03:14] <bcool> zkoo I have no idea
[03:14] <zkoo> hm
[03:14] <dark> duffman, "<duffman> missing modules cat /proc/modules: ls /dev, ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/jiberish does not exist " > if it can print this msg at all then probably it already have access to /boot. and if it is dying because of this, this is not swap or /home or anything else, it's /
[03:14] <zkoo> bcool: but you are sure it is sata?
[03:14] <dark> guiscard, lol
[03:14] <bcool> yes
[03:14] <Awesome3000> bleepbloop   You can also list your mounted devices and their descriptions with: mount
[03:14] <bcool> this computer doesn't have any other hookups for internal drives
[03:15] <bleepbloop> Awesome3000: ahhh, yay, thats exactly what I was looking for
[03:15] <bleepbloop> i think, let me try it out
[03:15] <Losha> bcool: please respond to my question: does dmesg | egrep sr show that the kernel saw the dvd drive during bootup?
[03:15] <xguru> duffman: get back to #windows :)
[03:15] <bcool> Losha, I don't know how to decipher the output
[03:15] <dark> xguru, stop :(
[03:15] <bcool> I don't see anything that looks like a dvd drive, but I'm not too sure.
[03:15] <custos> when i start killing floor in steam via Playonlinux the frequency goes up to 81 hz wich my computer cant take. anyway to fix this?
[03:16] <duffman> ok i got gparted up
[03:16] <Losha> bcool: then just paste it to  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com and we'll look at it together....
[03:16] <duffman> what am i looking for
[03:16] <zkoo> Losha: i had him do "dmesg | grep -i dvd" too, which i would have exptected to find something
[03:16] <Daughain> what do I need to install to compile C?
[03:16] <xguru> dark:  i know him from dalnet :)
[03:16] <dark> xguru, oh ok :P
[03:16] <duffman> hi xguru
[03:16] <dark> duffman, i dunno. tell me what is the output of ls /dev/sd*
[03:16] <Cubey> Daughain: A lot of patience
[03:17] <duffman> in #windows
[03:17] <Losha> zkoo: oh. I missed that part. You're way ahead of me...
[03:17] <bcool> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2ad92989
[03:17] <zkoo> Losha: not really, i haven't gotten anywhere yet :)
[03:17] <guiscard> Losha,  I'm not sure if it's a problem with pulseaudio but thank you anyway
[03:17] <osirisx11> is anyone using nvidia drivers with full 3d working? i have had a lot of trouble and would love to know what version to use.
[03:17] <osirisx11> karmic/9.10
[03:17] <Daughain> Cubey:   That part I knew. =) How about package installs or libs?
[03:17] <duffman> i have 1 2 5 which are ext3 extended and swap respectivley
[03:17] <Losha> bcool: there should have been a line like: sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 40x/40x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
[03:18] <ZykoticK9> Daughain, start with "build-essential"
[03:18] <xguru> duffman: what are you receiving help with?
[03:18] <bleepbloop> Awesome3000: so if I type 'fdisk -l' in, it will just list information?
[03:18] <duffman> my media center shit out on me
[03:18] <Scunizi> How do I restart the lpr service?
[03:18] <bcool> osirisx11, I am using an nvidia driver and it works just fine.
[03:18] <dark> duffman, just /dev/sda, right?
[03:18] <bcool> I use 9.10 also
[03:18] <duffman> yeah
[03:18] <SimSimma> Hey, how do I change an individual icon associated with a file type???
[03:18] <Ratizar> osirisx11, how did you install the drivers
[03:19] <dark> duffman, o.o close cfdisk and do sudo fsck /dev/sda1
[03:19] <dark> duffman, tell me if anything abnormal exists
[03:19] <Losha> bcool: the fact that there isn't means your dvd wasn't seen by the kernel during bootup. Any ideas why not? Did you say the exact same setup worked on 9.04 ?
[03:19] <osirisx11> bcool: what drivers are you using?
[03:19] <dark> happens
[03:19] <Daughain> OK, thats started, Anything else that would be a good idea to add, ZykoticK9 ?
[03:19] <bcool> this setup was working only a few days ago.
[03:19] <osirisx11> Ratizar: i'm currently using 185 using the hardware drivers / restricted drivers program under system admin
[03:19] <bcool> on 9.10
[03:20] <Losha> bcool: well, it looks like a hardware issue. Check your connections etc. Is it sata, ide, or usb?
[03:20] <ZykoticK9> Daughain, it's going to depend on what you are compiling (what IT needs), sorry I got no crystal ball :)
[03:20] <Awesome3000> bleepbloop fdisk is a formating program, it'll list the drives souldn't do anything anless you tell it.  :)
[03:20] <bcool> losha sata
[03:20] <duffman> clean
[03:20] <Daughain> ZykoticK9:  Np there, I have an effectively empty hd, so I'll just add it all. =)
[03:20] <zkoo> bcool: can you put the output of "lspci -nnk" in a pastebin?
[03:20] <Losha> bcool: try a different sata port, and/or a different cable....
[03:20] <bleepbloop> Awesome3000: haha okay, I just don't want to screw anything up with my noobness
[03:20] <dark> duffman, ok. do it on sda5 just to check it's really swap
[03:21] <osirisx11> james@james-desktop:~$ glxinfo / name of display: :0.0 Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". / Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
[03:21] <xguru> duffman: send me a message if you end up needing further assistance i'm going to go and enjoy my media center :)
[03:21] <dark> duffman, but, now i have to look some way to see the uuid of /dev/sda1
[03:21] <bcool> Losha, I was able to boot my install cd
[03:21] <Ratizar> osirisx11,  is your graphic card build for 185 ??? how old is the card? if its fx you need 173 i know that from my card :)
[03:21] <bcool> so I know it's not the drive
[03:21] <dark> duffman, maybe it's with wrong uuid for some reason
[03:21] <duffman> not found
[03:21] <osirisx11> i had to explicitly disable GLX extension from my x11 conf in order to get x11 to boot
[03:21] <duffman> seems we might have a problem
[03:21] <dark> duffman, /dev/sda5 not found?
[03:21] <bleepbloop> Awesome3000: uhoh, i typed 'fdisk -l' in and it didnt return anything
[03:21] <Scunizi> How do I restart services?  it use to be /etc/init.d/<service> restart .. does that still work?
[03:21] <duffman> yeah
[03:21] <dark> duffman, you said you had 1 2 5. ls /dev/sd* shows exactly what?
[03:21] <ZykoticK9> bleepbloop, use "sudo fdisk -l"
[03:21] <duffman> even renamed it to fsck.swap not found
[03:22] <osirisx11> Ratizar: i dunno.... .. ubuntu shouldn't be presenting it if it is not compatible though.
[03:22] <bastid_raZor> Scunizi: yes, sudo service servicename restart should work too
[03:22] <Awesome3000> bleepbloop try sudo fdisk -l
[03:22] <bleepbloop> Awesome3000: should I be worried now
[03:22] <Losha> bcool: that's very bizarre. Then again, I have a motherboard the loses track of sata disks every so often until I reboot....
[03:22] <Awesome3000> bleepbloop no it will run it as root
[03:22] <custos> osirisx11 im useing a 3D nvidia driver tough its not flawless
[03:22] <Ratizar> osirisx11,  which nvidia do ya have
[03:22] <bcool> zkoo, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m73571ae
[03:22] <Scunizi> bastid_raZor: k.. how about the lpr service?  with lpr or lprng or other?
[03:23] <duffman> says error 2
[03:23] <zkoo> bcool: wait, try "modprobe cdrom" then "dmesg | tail"
[03:23] <bleepbloop> Awesome3000: okay that gave me pretty much exactly what i was looking for
[03:23] <dark> duffman, what says error 2?
[03:23] <osirisx11> Ratizar: checking.. one sec
[03:23] <Awesome3000> bleepbloop Great :)
[03:23] <bastid_raZor> Scunizi: is that part of cups?
[03:23] <bleepbloop> Awesome3000: thanks!
[03:23] <dark> duffman, ls /dev/sd* ? o.O
[03:24] <zkoo> yeah, it looks like sata and the right 'ata_piix' module is already loaded
[03:24] <theshadow> Ubuntu 9.10 XPS 1340 Can't figure out why the touchpad isn't working can anyone help?
[03:24] <Ratizar> osirisx11,  i am gmt+1 hurry :D
[03:24] <osirisx11> Ratizar: GeForce 9500 GS, 512MB
[03:24] <duffman> sda1 2 5 sdb1 2
[03:24] <Scunizi> bastid_raZor: it's the "line printer" portion.. not sure if it's part of cups or not.. I'm installing a Brother MFC printer and following the Brother instruction for their drivers.
[03:24] <bcool> zkoo, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2138e454
[03:24] <zkoo> theshadow: is the psmouse kernel module loaded?
[03:24] <duffman> sorry sdb sdb 1
[03:24] <zkoo> oh, cdrom not found
[03:25] <Ratizar> osirisx11,  what happens when you uninstall the drivers
[03:25] <iflema> o.o
[03:25] <Awesome3000> Is there a specific IRC for help with Ubuntu on VirtualBox or can I ask it here
[03:25] <zkoo> man, i dunno
[03:25] <duffman> sdb might be another drive i didn't know was in ther or the usb drive hanging out
[03:25] <Ratizar> lol @ Awesome3000
[03:25] <osirisx11> Ratizar: it goes back to using foss drivers with limited or no 3d
[03:25] <duffman> ok pulled the usb drive and that was it
[03:25] <theshadow> zkoo: lsmod shows it there
[03:26] <dark> duffman, ok it seems that this sdb is relevant. but you just say sda 1 2 5, but yet sda5 is not found
[03:26] <duffman> i don't think that was the problem but should I try a reboot?
[03:26] <Losha> Awesome3000: I thought there was #vbox. But you can ask here too if ubuntu is involved...
[03:26] <Ratizar> osirisx11,  do you have full resolution without the drivers
[03:26] <dark> duffman, i am puzzled
[03:26] <duffman> sdb is gone since i pulled that usb thumb drive
[03:26] <dark> oh..
[03:26] <dark> :)
[03:26] <duffman> but that was just now
[03:26] <duffman> should I reboot
[03:26] <bcool> why do I always have to get the most bizzare problems
[03:26] <bastid_raZor> Scunizi: from what i can see it is part of cups. try restarting cups to see if this does what you want.
[03:26] <dark> duffman, wait
[03:26] <duffman> I don't think that, that could be the problem
[03:26] <Ratizar> osirisx11,  i will pm
[03:27] <Scunizi> bastid_raZor: doing now.. thanks
[03:27] <dark> duffman, there is or there is not a file /dev/sda5 ? if it shows on ls, it should react to commands too
[03:27] <Losha> bcool: dunno either. I agree with you though. Time to downgrade....
[03:27] <duffman> there is an sda5
[03:27] <dark> duffman, but okay. let's ignore this /dev/sda5. can you mount /dev/sda1?
[03:27] <dark> duffman, ok. fsck /dev/sda5 first
[03:27] <bcool> man and 9.10 was so good.
[03:27] <duffman> still not found
[03:28] <Daughain> ZykoticK9: Is there an interface for build-essential, or does it run from term?
[03:28] <dark> duffman, try stat /dev/sda5
[03:28] <duffman> think the fact that its dating it jan 27 09 is a problem?
[03:28] <Losha> bcool: I'm not impressed. I went back to 8.04 in the end.
[03:28] <bcool> oh well, time to copy everything to my other harddrive and load 9.04 up.
[03:28] <dark> duffman, why it would be?
[03:28] <duffman> dunno just asking
[03:29] <dark> duffman, ooh. it wasn't that the /dev/sda5 was not found
[03:29] <duffman> stat returns the 3 drives +0000
[03:29] <bcool> Losha, I liked 9.10. It fixed a few things for me
[03:29] <zkoo> bcool: if I were you i'd save a copy of the output of lsmod, boot a 9.04 cd that works, save a copy of lsmod there and compare the two
[03:29] <dark> duffman, instead, fsck not found a handler to fsck it
[03:29] <duffman> correct date, not not thats an issue
[03:29] <Awesome3000> I get the following Error during boot "piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.0: SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr
[03:29] <zkoo> though i would still have expected dmesg to have seen the drive
[03:29] <dark> duffman, duh, it's swap .-. let's move on
[03:29] <duffman> haha
[03:29] <dark> duffman, do you know how to mount /dev/sda1? if yes mount it
[03:30] <duffman> is it sudo mount ...
[03:30] <dark> duffman, mount it on /mnt. sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[03:30] <duffman> or is ther etc/fstab involved
[03:30] <dark> no, is not; on a livecd, usually isn't
[03:30] <duffman> ok
[03:30] <dark> duffman, after that, ls /mnt (or the directory you choose)
[03:30] <Hilikus> sometimes after so time of playing stuff, pulseaudio stops working and only crackling noise comes out. at that point playback accelerates and the timebar goes really fast in amarok
[03:30] <Losha> bcool: 9.10 was ok once the sound, flash and wifi stuff was sorted out. That took a few months though...
[03:30] <Hilikus> is this a known issue?
[03:31] <iflema> duffman: sudo fsck.ext3 -f /dev/sda1... if its ext3
[03:31] <kf__> there is a torrent clent ? du what?
[03:31] <Viss> I have a question about package reinstallation. I'm trying to install likewise-open. When I ran through the install the first time, it gave me a dialog box prompting me for a host. I just hit enter. The installation continued, but now I need to go back and add a host. I've been unable to reinstall the package such that I get that dialog box asking for the host again. dpkg-reconfigure doesn't do it, nor does apt-get remove/install'ing it.
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> !torrent | kf__
[03:31] <Scunizi> bastid_raZor: looks like I need to install their cups wrapper.. which is 32 bit .. I have the 32bit libraries installed but apt-get still complains.. is there a special way to install 32 bit .debs in a 64 bit system?
[03:31] <dark> no, it already fscked iflema
[03:31] <kf__> thank you !
[03:32] <duffman> ok i did the mount
[03:32] <iflema> force it even if marked clean -f
[03:32] <duffman> returned no errors
[03:32] <Losha> kf__: there's half a dozen at least. Deluge & ktorrent seem popular....
[03:32] <ivan_> Hello, Ubuntu 9.10 wont even recognize some dvds i put in to my laptop
[03:32] <DaZ_> Viss: host?
[03:32] <duffman> but cd /mnt no dir
[03:32] <dark> iflema, mmm
[03:32] <dark> duffman, ls /mnt shows what?
[03:32] <dark> o.o'
[03:32] <iflema> -c
[03:32] <bastid_raZor> Scunizi: dpkg --force-architecture
[03:32] <kf__> which one is more popular?
[03:32] <iflema> -p
[03:32] <Daughain> ivan_:  Google medibuntu
[03:32] <dark> duffman, it is empty?
[03:32] <Viss> DaZ_: likewise-open is a package used to let one have ubuntu authenticate against active directory. It asked me for the AD host, which at the time I didn't know. I assumed that it would create a config file that I could go edit. Well, it didnt.
[03:33] <duffman> norm cdrom etc dev home lib lostanfound
[03:33] <solifugus> What's a good program for printing nice-looking C++ source code, from ubuntu?
[03:33] <bastid_raZor> !medibuntu | ivan_ Daughain
[03:33] <Awesome3000> Viss  sudo domainjoin-cli join example.local Administrator 	
[03:33] <Awesome3000> Replace example.local with your domain name, and Administrator with the appropriate user name
[03:33] <Viss> DaZ_: so I'd like to reinstall the package, and have it ask me for the host again, except I cant for the life of me get it to do that.
[03:33] <Scunizi> bastid_raZor: so .. sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture <package name> ??
[03:33] <DaZ_> ah
[03:33] <duffman> initrd.img.old and regf
[03:33] <Viss> Awesome3000: yeah, to do that I need to have specified my active directory host
[03:33] <osirisx11> is using envy a good idea for getting my nvidia binary?
[03:33] <Viss> Awesome3000: which is my problem. I didnt specify the host during installation
[03:33] <osirisx11> the latest and greatest beta
[03:33] <Losha> Viss: try apt-get purge instead of remove. purge is supposed to remove all config as well as just the application.
[03:33] <maco> Viss: sudo dpkg-reconfigure likewise-open ??
[03:33] <Viss> Awesome3000: so every time I do that, it fails.
[03:33] <Scunizi> osirisx11: no
[03:33] <osirisx11> Scunizi: thanks.how should i?
[03:33] <Viss> maco: it doesn't give me the dialog box to put in the AD host if I do that.
[03:33] <Awesome3000> Viss Sorry
[03:33] <Scunizi> !envy | osirisx11
[03:33] <jsikes> wireless recognizes networks, but wont connect. ubuntu9.1, belkin F5D8053. checked all the forums and tried all the fixes. no luck. any thoughts? (new user)
[03:33] <maco> Viss: config files arent removed when you "apt-get remove" but they are when you "apt-get purge"
[03:33] <Daughain> Keep forgetting the .org. :P
[03:34] <Viss> Losha: I tried that too, still no love.
[03:34] <maco> Viss: so purge it then install it?
[03:34] <Scunizi> osirisx11: nvidia has docs on that
[03:34] <dark> duffman, ok. seems fine!
[03:34] <Viss> I've done that, three times now
[03:34] <Viss> with no luck
[03:34] <ivan_> Daughain, is that for movies or for cd in general, my computer wont even say there is a disc in the tray
[03:34] <Viss> ive even used dpkg to purge it and reinstall it
[03:34] <Viss> the reinstall doesn't give me the host dialog box
[03:34] <dark> duffman, now maybe it's the time to actually see the uuid of the partition
[03:34] <Losha> Viss: is it a single executable do you know?
[03:34] <bastid_raZor> Scunizi: yes
[03:34] <dark> and compare with the uuid in /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:34] <Viss> Losha: I'm not certain, today is my first day working with it
[03:34] <Scunizi> bastid_raZor: thaks
[03:34] <Scunizi> *thanks
[03:34] <Daughain> ivan_:  Thats for cd's and dvd's in general.
[03:34] <Smokexz> Hello, Ubuntu 9.10 won't read my drivers, I was using Vista 32-bit before I installed it, I am dual-booting. I want it to read my graphics card and wireless LAN.
[03:34] <duffman> im thinking that usb drive caused a problem its never been there for boot
[03:34] <Legendario> does anyone know a way to archieve messages on gmail directly from evolution?
[03:35] <hackulator> I am trying to get sound drivers installed for my sound blaster audigy 2 in karmic koala but having no luck
[03:35] <djtoast> how would one remove the password prompt when rebooting ?
[03:35] <hexbomber> Since I've reformatted ubuntu 9.04 my portable hdd won't show up anywhere... is there a way to force scan for it?
[03:35] <dark> duffman, hmmmmmmmm.o.o. but uuid is meant exactly to overcome this..
[03:35] <duffman> ok
[03:35] <duffman> how do i do that
[03:35] <adamonline45> Is there any application to control my fan speeds based on temps, like a fan manager?
[03:35] <dark> duffman, i am searching for the command .-.
[03:35] <dark> maybe someone here knwos
[03:35] <dark> knows
[03:35] <duffman> ok take your time
[03:36] <Losha> Viss: the reason I ask is because I've occasionally had good luck running executables under strace to see *exactly* which files they look at. It's kind of advanced though...
[03:36] <squidly> hello I just updated to 9.10 and now I am unable to mount my drives I keep getting libblk error
[03:36] <Viss> ive used strace before
[03:36] <Cubey> jesus christ, nothing at all works for turning off that stupid drum sound..
[03:36] <Daughain> lol
[03:36] <Smokexz> Hello, Ubuntu 9.10 won't read my drivers, I was using Vista 32-bit before I installed it, I am dual-booting. I want it to read my graphics card and wireless LAN.
[03:36] <Losha> Viss: well, it's a long shot, but it might just tell you what you need to know...
[03:36] <Cubey> rebooting to see if maybe thats needed since I disabled a setting..
[03:36] <bcool> wow, too many people have problems with 9.10
[03:36] <squidly> libblkid is not working..
[03:37] <squidly> 9.10 is a major change I'm also doing an update from 9.04
[03:37] <maco> bcool: the sampling pool in a channel that's for support is a bit skewed ;)
[03:37] <ivan_> Daughain, thanks ill check it out
[03:37] <Losha> bcool: well it's comparatively new, which means it's comparatively buggy. You want stable, use 8.04....
[03:37] <Maletor> How do I edit my workspaces? I can't right click and go to Prefs since I'm using GNOME DO
[03:37] <bcool> 9.04 works for me.
[03:37] <russ> Is it just me, or is /lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions missing from cryptsetup in lucid?
[03:37] <djtoast> 9.10 works good for me asside the issue that i cannot make 3 monitor works
[03:37] <hexbomber> is there anyway to manually mount a drive that isn't showing up?
[03:38] <Legendario> does anyone know a way to archieve messages on gmail directly from evolution?
[03:38] <Awesome3000> I have a boot problem see http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d40d3609a  :(
[03:38] <Cubey> >:(
[03:38] <Losha> bcool: then no reason you shouldn't stick to 9.04....
[03:38] <Cubey> still playing that damn sound
[03:38] <Legendario> Is it possible?
[03:38] <dark> duffman, it is, maybe, dumpe2fs. first open the file /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst with an editor and copy the uuid of the error msg you saw
[03:38] <bcool> the only problems I have with 9.04 is it doesn't like my onboard soundcard and it doesn't like dual monitors.
[03:38] <Daughain> bcool:  I sweitched to 9.10 because I found .04 to have too many issues. =)
[03:38] <dark> duffman, you could probably do that with grep uuid /mnt/bot/grub/menu.lst , also
[03:38] <bcool> 9.10 fixed both of those problems.
[03:38] <Smokexz> Hello, Ubuntu 9.10 won't read my drivers, I was using Vista 32-bit before I installed it, I am dual-booting. I want it to read my graphics card and wireless LAN.
[03:38] <djtoast> bcool: theres a video on youtube with 6 monitors running on 9.04 :)
[03:38] <Ratizar> good night or morning to all
[03:39] <bcool> good for those people.
[03:39] <kf__> why the delupx is so slow?
[03:39] <kf__> just 50K?
[03:39] <djtoast> bcool: dont know how they did :(
[03:39] <Awesome3000> HELP SMBus base address uninitialized  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d40d3609a
[03:39] <Losha> bcool: well, you've not tried everything yet. Change the sata port, sometimes that makes a difference. Also, check bios settings for something relevant...
[03:40] <yadudoc> Hi, My grub2 is not detecting my windows partition, any thoughts on how to fix it ?
[03:40] <duffman> im not sure howto copy this
[03:40] <bcool> I don't feel like cracking open my tower today.
[03:40] <duffman> if i can't vnc i can't out put it to a txt and move it
[03:40] <dark> duffman, saved it? so close the menu.lst, leave /mnt (by typing maybe just cd to go back to home) and then umount /mnt
[03:40] <djtoast> yadudoc: I just did this and it came up by itself http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7
[03:40] <Losha> bcool: I understand....
[03:40] <dark> duffman, hmm
[03:40] <dmerricka> Would someone point me in the right direction with an mplayer codec issue?
[03:40] <dark> duffman, copy to somewhere there
[03:41] <djtoast> yadudoc: I used option with livecd
[03:41] <duffman> oh shit
[03:41] <duffman> that usb be drive
[03:41] <duffman> sdb
[03:41] <dark> duffman, a text editor with that is ok
[03:41] <FloodBot1> duffman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:41] <bastid_raZor> dmerricka: #mplayer or #mplayer-dev
[03:41] <dmerricka> thanks
[03:41] <Maletor> How do I edit my workspaces? I can't right click and go to Prefs since I'm using GNOME DO
[03:41] <dark> duffman, hahahaha. ok, use it. :)
[03:41] <duffman> howdo I output that text to sdb
[03:41] <dark> duffman, copy your entire menu.lst to that and paste to paste.ubuntu.com
[03:42] <duffman> its whatever cmd > file.txt?
[03:42] <Smokexz> Hello, Ubuntu 9.10 won't read my drivers, I was using Vista 32-bit before I installed it, I am dual-booting. I want it to read my graphics card and wireless LAN.
[03:42] <dark> duffman, sudo mkdir /mnt2 then sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt2 then cp /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst /mnt2/some-folder
[03:42] <bcool> Losha, honestly what kind of problem develops that requires you to suddenly change sata ports?
[03:42] <dark> duffman, or use a graphical file manager
[03:42] <ivan_> Daughain, i installed it, but still no recognition, should i restart?
[03:42] <hackulator> can anyone help me get my sound drivers working in 9.10?
[03:42] <Viss> huh.
[03:42] <bastid_raZor> Maletor: if you're using compiz in ccsm you can edit them via General Options>Desktop Size
[03:42] <Viss> it works.
[03:43] <Maletor> thx
[03:43] <Viss> thanks fellas!
[03:43] <Daughain> ivan_:  WHat are you using to watch the dvd?
[03:44] <L3dPlatedLinux>  how do you run a .run I am installing my drivers for graphic card?
[03:44] <Maletor> How do I add my Hard drive to the desktop?
[03:44] <ivan_> Daughain, its not a movie dvd its data, and the system wont even tell me there is a dvd inside
[03:44] <Losha> bcool: well, it's a long shot. Just trying to be thorough and eliminate variables. But e,g. a hardware failure on the port. Or more likely, your dvd drive has died. All those high precision moving parts are prone to failure,,,,
[03:45] <bcool> agian, my boot cd works
[03:45] <waltercool> someone should recommend me a good virtualization app without special hardware? Because kqemu doesnt work on Ubuntu and Virtualbox is too... monopolistic
[03:45] <bcool> I figured that might be the problem so I checked by booting my live cd
[03:45] <dark> Maletor, the desktop show what is mounted. to mount it, click on it on the left panel of the file manager
[03:45] <samuel> somebody know who can I disable mouse?
[03:45] <Daughain> Oh, my mistake, thought ya were trying to watch a movie.
[03:45] <duffman> well that didn't work
[03:45] <bastid_raZor> Maletor: in terminal type: gconf-editor then go to apps>nautilus>desktop then check volumes_visible
[03:45] <c0re> im using boot from usb
[03:45] <duffman> exploring outher ways
[03:45] <Maletor> dark: it doesn't show my /dev/sda1 which is mounted
[03:45] <dark> if it's not in the options i guess you will have to use the command line
[03:45] <duffman> give me time
[03:46] <bastid_raZor> L3dPlatedLinux: you do realize you need to have X stopped before installing those drivers.
[03:46] <Daughain> ivan_:  Prolly need to get someone who knows more than me then. I thought you were trying to watch a movie, sorry.
[03:46] <dark> Maletor, @.@ then i don't know. maybe it shows only what is in /etc/fstab
[03:46] <Maletor> and my /dev/sdb1 which i want to NOT show on the desktop is actually visible there with no way of getting it off
[03:46] <dark> Maletor, or only what have 'users' as option there
[03:46] <bcool> I would have cried if my drive had stopped working.
[03:46] <dark> duffman, why?
[03:46] <Losha> bcool: ok, I give in, then. It isn't a failure mode I've seen for 9.10 reported on this channel, which is usually where we hear about os problems....
[03:46] <dark> duffman, can you mount the pen drive?
[03:46] <ivan_> Daughain; no worrys ill ask again thank you
[03:47] <solifugus> What editor prints source code nicely?
[03:47] <bcool> 16 minutes till all my files are on the other harddrive.
[03:47] <Daughain> ivan_:  Thanks, good luck.
[03:47] <ivan_> Hello, my computer wont recognize any of my data dvds, and the cd tray icon disappears when i insert a data dvd. Thank Yo
[03:48] <Baribal> solexious, emacs provides syntax highlighting, paren matching and LOTS of handy shortcuts, but it is NOT for the faint of heart.
[03:48] <bcool> ivan have you tried sudo mount /media/cdrom0?
[03:48] <j4ke> The USB-Startup-Disk-Creator application, is it good for other OS:es besides Ubuntu ? Would Debian work ?
[03:48] <c0re> ivan_: try mount /dev/hdc -t iso9660 /cdrom -o force
[03:48] <FernandoF> may i get seome help
[03:49] <dark> Maletor, sincerely? I don't rely on nautilus to do anything useful to me :~~~~ (it's sad to admit that. i do love gnome)
[03:49] <Losha> solifugus: which language. Some of them have 'beautifiers'....
[03:49] <FernandoF> I did a silly thing
[03:49] <Maletor> dark: so you just use cli?
[03:49] <Losha> FernandoF: we're listening....
[03:49] <FernandoF> just check applications to put away from start
[03:49] <dark> yes... .-.
[03:49] <FernandoF> now I can not get access to some disks
[03:49] <Maletor> so you can just install ubuntu server then :D
[03:49] <dark> Maletor, i just got used to it .-.
[03:49] <dark> Maletor, no, i like to see photos :)
[03:50] <FernandoF> and get authentication required message
[03:50] <FernandoF> what appllication shd i put on again?
[03:50] <Maletor> dark: and i like compiz
[03:50] <dark> Maletor, and I usually like gui programs. but i don't like a gui to do file management
[03:50] <dark> Maletor, yes me too :)
[03:50] <ivan_> c0re: no it says it doesnt exist
[03:51] <bastid_raZor> Maletor: technically, anything mounted in /media is displayed on the desktop. you could symlink your drive to a directory in media to get it there.
[03:51] <ivan_> c0re, i can see easily the documents in windows...
[03:51] <dark> Maletor, maybe it's just that i didn't found the perfect file manager in my own standards
[03:51] <dark> Hmmmmmmmmm
[03:51] <c0re> j4ke: i think it will
[03:52] <Hilikus> sometimes after so time of playing stuff, pulseaudio stops working and only crackling noise comes out. at that point playback accelerates and the timebar goes really fast in amarok
[03:52] <dark> bastid_raZor, i now remember. when I mount something manually, it dosn't show in the desktop. i think it's just for automounted things. or it's not?
[03:52] <dark> duffman, hello?
[03:52] <Hilikus> is this a known issue?
[03:52] <jsikes> hey, anyone have any thoughts on why i can see wireless networks, but cannot connect? tried the driver fixes on forums with no luck.
[03:52] <j4ke> c0re: ok
[03:52] <FernandoF> Thx Losha ... Can you help? name of application  to get rid off "authentication required" blind message and get  a window for my password to get access to my windows HD under windows?
[03:52] <bastid_raZor> dark: from my understanding anything in /media  automounted or not.
[03:53] <FernandoF> Losha,  Thx  ... Can you help? name of application  to get rid off "authentication required" blind message and get  a window for my password to get access to my windows HD under windows?
[03:53] <Cubey> jschall: I finally solved it, it's the file /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/system_ready.ogg ... I renamed it and now it doesn't play that godawful sound
[03:54] <Losha> FernandoF: actually, I'm having trouble understanding you. Have you tried #ubuntu-pt ?
[03:54] <iflema> dark: /mnt = no icon /media = icon on desktop...
[03:54] <c0re> ivan_: look for cat /proc/diskstats
[03:54] <Daughain> Cubey:  Whats wrong with bongos...?? =)
[03:54] <FernandoF> Losha I will improve
[03:54] <Cubey> Daughain: Ever had it play with the volume all the way up?
[03:54] <Losha> Hilikus: I'm not sure I've seen this particular failure mode, but pulseaudio is notorious for having problems.
[03:54] <bcool> finally done, time to boot 9.04 back up.
[03:55] <FernandoF> what language do you prefer i speak?
[03:55] <iflema> dark: earlier versions... maybe not
[03:55] <Losha> FernandoF: this channel is english only. What is your native language?
[03:55] <Daughain> Cubey:  Yes, but, I'm on a lappy.
[03:55] <Maletor> fernandoF: na'vi
[03:55] <Cubey> never had such a chore just trying to disable a sound
[03:55] <dark> Hmmmmmm. ok, nice, thank you iflema bastid_raZor =)
[03:55] <ivan_> c0re, i putted it in the terminal
[03:56] <Hilikus> what is the pulse audio process called?
[03:56] <kapace> Hello, i have a Ubuntu CD that I have tried and tested on my laptop, but for some reason it fails to load on my desktop with error message "Error reading disk"
[03:56] <jgcampbell300> hmm for some reason my video rendoring is sucking with ubuntu , any suggestions
[03:56] <squidly> karmic-server wont recognize my software raid array.. any onw know how to fix that?
[03:56] <Hilikus> jgcampbell300: install the binary driver
[03:56] <Losha> Cubey: first thing I do is rename /usr/share/sounds. The bongos are always ridiculously loud on my system. Scares the pants off me...
[03:56] <flootenkerp> Hi, my friend installed two different ubuntu versions on his computer that already had vista on it, and he wants to uninstall both of the ubuntu os's off his computer so he can install it correctly with wubi installer, does anyone here know how to uninstall ubuntu?
[03:56] <jgcampbell300> how do i do that
[03:56] <Hilikus> jgcampbell300: nvidia or ati video card?
[03:57] <jgcampbell300> nvidia
[03:57] <c0re> ivan_: try cat /var/log/messages | grep sr0
[03:57] <Hilikus> !nvidia
[03:57] <iflema> lol
[03:57] <jsikes> hey, anyone have any thoughts on why i can see wireless networks, but cannot connect? tried the driver fixes on forums with no luck.
[03:57] <jgcampbell300> ty
[03:58] <[deXter]> Hi all. My Mint 8 fails to boot, I get an error message "Hard disk boot sector invalid" even after reinstalling Grub (2)
[03:58] <Losha> kapace: not all brands of dvd reader will read all brands of burned disk. You might just have a brand incompatibility....
[03:58] <[deXter]> Any help please?
[03:58] <ivan_> c0re, i typed it in the terminal what do i do?
[03:58] <theshadow> Please tell me someone has figured out how to remove pdvdlinux from the Dell XPS 1340's
[03:58] <kapace> Losha, ok, so do i have to burn to another disk from another brand?
[03:59] <ctmjr> !mint | [deXter]
[03:59] <Losha> kapace: I would try that. Or perhaps reburn the same brand at a slower speed to get a better quality burn....
[03:59] <FernandoF> Losha there is an application missing on my startup, after i did disable it accidentally. this provokes the message "authentication is required" when i try to access my data hard disks, instead of a window to put authentication in. Do you know which application i shd put in the window "add applications on startup" in order to solve my problem?
[03:59] <kapace> Losha, speed matters?
[03:59] <[deXter]> ctmjr: Okay forget I said m***, just assume it's Ubuntu :)
[03:59] <FernandoF> Losh HAve i been more clear now?
[04:00] <waltercool> someone can recommend me a virtualization software without special hardware? (No virtualbox plz)
[04:00] <Maletor> FernandoF: no, speak na'vi
[04:00] <bastid_raZor> waltercool: vmware
[04:00] <Maletor> walktercool, yes check out projectM
[04:00] <FernandoF> Maletor letś use this for help
[04:00] <maco> waltercool: parallels?
[04:00] <waltercool> bastid_raZor, But something available on main and universal
[04:01] <FernandoF> Maletor and forget about  Avatar great movie
[04:01] <bastid_raZor> !info vmware
[04:01] <waltercool> !info paralels
[04:01] <Guest38946> can some please tell me how to extract a .img.gz file
[04:01] <Maletor> !info gz
[04:02] <bastid_raZor> waltercool: no idea then. vmware fan here.
[04:02] <maco> waltercool: parllels and vmware are both commercial software
[04:02] <waltercool> bastid_raZor, But, for vmware i need a original licence, isnt?
[04:02] <waltercool> license
[04:02] <maco> waltercool: of course
[04:02] <Maletor> !info s of hate
[04:02] <bastid_raZor> waltercool: they have a free version
[04:03] <Maletor> !info s-of-hate
[04:03] <Maletor> ok good night everyone
[04:03] <maco> waltercool: if you only want to know about FOSS virtualisation solutions, your options are, i think.. Virtualbox (which you said you dont want), KVM (which requires decent hardware), and qemu (which umm.. is now kvm)
[04:03] <jsikes> hey, anyone have any thoughts on why i can see wireless networks, but cannot connect? tried the driver fixes on forums with no luck. any ideas would be helpful?
[04:03] <FernandoF> Losha did you get my question or still not able to understand me?
[04:03] <user_> hello
[04:04] <Losha> kapace: all burns contain errors, mostly they are recoverable. Different dvd readers have different recovery capabilities. Usually the slower you burn, the fewer errors. Also, some brands do better on some burners than others. This is all covered in great detail on sites like http://club.myce.com
[04:04] <user_> how can found sun virtua box
[04:04] <user_> ?
[04:04] <waltercool> maco, No possibility of kqemu, isnt?
[04:04] <ctmjr> [deXter]: did you delete a partition or mess with your partitions?
[04:04] <Losha> FernandoF: I understand your problem better now. But I don't know the answer :-(
[04:04] <kapace> Losha, ah thank you very much, i didn't know this!
[04:04] <maco> user_: do you want the open source edition? install virtualbox-ose. if you want the closed version (supports sata images and usb devices), virtualbox.org
[04:04] <FernandoF> Losha :) thx
[04:05] <osirisx11> how do i blow away my xorg.conf and get a shiny new one?
[04:05] <FernandoF> there is an application missing on my startup, after i did disable it accidentally. this provokes the message "authentication is required" when i try to access my data hard disks, instead of a window to put authentication in. Do you know which application i shd put in the window "add applications on startup" in order to solve my problem?
[04:05] <maco> waltercool: not sure. i dont know how forking went in the qemu worl
[04:05] <maco> *world
[04:05] <user_> how fond the sun virtua box ?
[04:05] <Losha> FernandoF: Are your disks encrypted?
[04:05] <maco> user_: i just told you
[04:05] <iflema> user: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[04:05] <FernandoF> Losha yes
[04:06] <user_> thanx maco\
[04:06] <[deXter]> ctmjr: Nah, this is a fresh install, but the funny thing is I can boot from a CD and then choose the option to boot form the HDD and it works
[04:06] <osirisx11> [xorg] how do i blow away my xorg.conf and get a shiny new one?
[04:06] <waltercool> maco Ow... thats sad... no good alternatives for virtualbox )=
[04:06] <Losha> FernandoF: makes sense. You're obviously missing the encryption app. I don't know much about those, though....
[04:07] <maco> waltercool: virtualbox made us all happy because it gave us a good alternative to vmware!
[04:07] <bastid_raZor> osirisx11: in a terminal type: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup    ..then restart X
[04:07] <theshadow> anyone know how to remove pdvdlinux?
[04:07] <waltercool> maco, But qemu with kqemu wasnt bad...
[04:07] <FernandoF> Losha thx
[04:07] <bastid_raZor> theshadow: how did you install it?
[04:07] <osirisx11> bastid_raZor: that's it? i just move it and it will be auto regened? even with a binary driver selected?
[04:08] <maco> waltercool: it might still exist... i just know that kvm is qemu on speed
[04:08] <maco> waltercool: well, and virtualbox is based on qemu for that matter. qemu with a gui.
[04:08] <FernandoF> Losha what i need is the data to fullfill the window about "add Application" and just give back what I silly  erased
[04:08] <osirisx11> bastid_raZor: someone else told me sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:08] <bastid_raZor> osirisx11: if one doesn't exist one will be created; on versions befor 9.10
[04:08] <theshadow> bastid_raZor: I didn't Dell did
[04:09] <osirisx11> bastid_raZor: i have 9.10
[04:09] <ivan_> Hello, ubuntu wont recognize my data dvds and windows will...
[04:09] <bastid_raZor> osirisx11: that too would create a new one but why get rid of the old one without making a back up.
[04:09] <jsikes> hey, anyone have any thoughts on why i can see wireless networks, but cannot connect? tried the driver fixes on forums with no luck.?
[04:09] <waltercool> maco, Yeah, but isnt like Firefox-Chromium or Goffice-OpenOffice... etc
[04:09] <Losha> FernandoF: sorry, I don't know the answer. Perhaps someone else here will....
[04:09] <osirisx11> bastid_raZor: thanks!
[04:09] <Dr_Willis> ivan_:  how were the disks created? what program?
[04:09] <FernandoF> Losha data options on the window are "name"; "command" and "comment"
[04:09] <\bMike\b> What is the proper name for the text screens you find at CTRL+ALT+F1?
[04:10] <ivan_> Dr_Willis, easy cd dvd creator
[04:10] <pererik87> having some issues with graphic on "ATI Radeon Mobility 9700se", my google'ing has so far not found me a solution for this card rather other similar cards in the same thread stealing attention.
[04:10] <bastid_raZor> osirisx11: since you're on 9.10 you will not get a new xorg.conf but things will be auto detected.
[04:10] <blakkheim> \bMike\b: tty
[04:10] <osirisx11> bastid_raZor: one more thing.. how do i restart x? i can delete the file (i already backed it up before)
[04:10] <osirisx11> bastid_raZor: so i SHOULDNT RM my xorg.conf?
[04:10] <ctmjr> [deXter]: you need to make the "ubuntu" partition bootable with your favorite partition editor  like gnome partition editor
[04:10] <V1k1n9> Hey I have a screen limited to 1024x768 but ubuntu is launch with a 1152 resolution, how can I do to block it to maximum 1024 plz ? :(
[04:11] <FernandoF> there is an application missing on my startup, after i did disable it accidentally. this provokes the message "authentication is required" when i try to access my data hard disks, instead of a window to put authentication in. Do you know which application i shd put in the window "add applications on startup" in order to solve my problem?
[04:11] <[deXter]> ctmjr: Ah good point, didn't check that.
[04:11] <bastid_raZor> osirisx11: make backups rather than deleting. much safer.. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart  .will restart X ..if you're using gnome
[04:11] <Dr_Willis> ivan_:  its possible it used some sort of UDF filesystem that windows cant handle. You made it by some sort of 'drag/drop to the dvd' type operation? like it was a big floppy disk? or did you use a more normal burning type method?
[04:12] <bastid_raZor> osirisx11: sudo service gdm restart is the preferred method on 9.10 and beyond.
[04:12] <osirisx11> bastid_raZor: thanks but you did not answer my question. i already did make backups.. but you say things will be autodetected but it won't create a new xorg.conf?
[04:12] <\bMike\b> blakkheim: great. Then what should 'terminal' refer to?
[04:12] <blakkheim> \bMike\b: a terminal emulator
[04:12] <bastid_raZor> osirisx11: with 9.10 i do not believe so. xorg.conf is depreciated from 9.10 on.  things are autodetected and run. although an xorg.conf can be used to specify things you want.
[04:13] <\bMike\b> blakkheim: which would be something like the gnome terminal program?
[04:13] <blakkheim> \bMike\b: yes
[04:13] <david__> hola
[04:13] <\bMike\b> blakkheim: Great, thanks a lot!
[04:13] <ivan_> Dr_Willis, i used a normal system... I burned the in Windows, and I use the burn button, I didnt do anything weird as far as i know
[04:13] <osirisx11> bastid_raZor: OHHHHHHHHHHH thanks... i didn't know that... okay so my plan is to rm my xorg.conf (already backed up), restart X, then try to install latest nvidia binary 195.30
[04:13] <david__> hola
[04:14] <bastid_raZor> osirisx11: that should do fine.
[04:14] <osirisx11> thanks!
[04:14] <FernandoF> "unable to mount HDname" "Authentication is required" anyone knows how to solve?

[04:14] <V1k1n9> How can i force X to be limited to maximum 1024x768 plz ? My monitor is "out of range" :(
[04:15] <estres> Hi there, I have this problem with my ubuntu 9.1, fist time this happens, the sound card does not work
[04:16] <estres> but:  http://pastebin.com/m726323d2

[04:17] <FernandoF> "Authentication is required" after "unable to mount HDname" anyone knows how to solve?
[04:18] <Dr_Willis> FernandoF:  exactly what/where is it saying this?
[04:18] <Dr_Willis> FernandoF:  and what filesystem is 'HDname' ?
[04:19] <FernandoF> Dr_Willis Hdname is the name of any HD I try to access
[04:20] <L0rD`> and typing in your root pass doesn't help?
[04:20] <ivan_> Dr_Willis, i used a normal system... I burned the in Windows, and I use the burn button, I didnt do anything weird as far as i know
[04:20] <theshadow> Ok, package issue finally resolve. Now back to my touchpad: in Xorg.0.log I'm getting "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad The /dev/input/event* device nodes seem to be missing
[04:20] <FernandoF> Dr_Willis and it happened after i disabled some applications on my startup . Main problem is I can not remember what Applications I did remove from startup
[04:21] <FernandoF> Dr_Willis Yes, I know it was an asine decision :(
[04:21] <shawnboy> good evening all. I've an easy question for someone. Flash. I've installed it many times, but for some reason can't get it going in fresh Karmic amd64 w/ Firefox 3.5.7. Help?
[04:22] <shawnboy> I put the libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla/.plugins
[04:22] <MaLuS> hey all
[04:22] <pererik87> having some issues with graphic on "ATI Radeon Mobility 9700se"(fglrx is a bad idea), my google'ing has so far not found me a solution for this card rather other similar cards in the same thread stealing attention. Any ideas. so far no to poor 3d. cant even run nexuiz but 3d cube in compiz works but almost brings the system to a halt. compiz set to no effects.
[04:23] <Awesome3001> MaLuS Hay is for Horses
[04:24] <Sakurachan1> hello all, i need help with networking two computers...
[04:24] <Awesome3001> Sakurachan1 OK
[04:24] <shawnboy> pererik87: what versions of fglrx have you tried?
[04:24] <MaLuS> this may sound a bit stupid but im new to linux and i dont know how to setup network share between mine and sakura's computers
[04:24] <Dr_Willis> FernandoF:  You could just add a proper entry in /etc/fstab for it - then it will mount as boot. No need for it to mount 'on the fly'
[04:24] <FernandoF> Dr_Willis any idea?
[04:25] <MaLuS> we are using ubuntu 9.10
[04:25] <Seamus> MaLuS: you need to install Samba
[04:25] <MaLuS> how?
[04:25] <pererik87> don't really remeber i followed a solution for "ATI Radeon Mobility 9700", didn't work very well
[04:25] <Dr_Willis> FernandoF:  its the system wanting admin rights to mount the drive i imagine. If its a ntfs drive you may wan tto install/run the ntfs-config tool
[04:25] <Seamus> MaLuS: PM
[04:25] <shawnboy> Malus, both are ubuntu machines?
[04:25] <Cubey> Anyone know how to disable the on-screen volume meter that comes up when using volume controls on a keyboard?
[04:25] <Awesome3001> Seamus isn't Samba for windows/Ubuntu networking
[04:25] <Sakurachan1> yes they are shawn
[04:25] <Seamus> I suppose he could use NFS
[04:25] <user123> is there any ubuntu application or guide for using ubuntu for an internet cafe business?
[04:25] <Seamus> but I think samba is easier to setup on ubuntu
[04:26] <shawnboy> I'd go for NFS instead of Samba.
[04:26] <FernandoF> Dr_Willis i have 4 hard disks for data and all doing  same ... it means i can  have a problem with  encription application that is not validating
[04:26] <Dr_Willis> FernandoF:  these are Linux drives then? what filesystem are they?
[04:26] <shawnboy> I *think* NFS is supposed to be faster / more efficient if that matters.
[04:26] <Dr_Willis> FernandoF:  IVe never used any of the encryption features. So no idea what controlls that
[04:26] <MaLuS> whichever is easiest for ubuntu 9.10 and stupid users lol
[04:26] <Dr_Willis> shawnboy:  nfs should be much faster from what i gather/seen
[04:27] <FernandoF> Dr_Willis NTFS
[04:27] <Dr_Willis> FernandoF:  then i would add a proper fstab entry for each drive. and be done with it.
[04:27] <FernandoF> Dr_Willis I would be happy if I can  disable them
[04:27] <V1k1n9_> sebi : I have the same problem with the first driver : 1152x864 -> Out of range, nothing on the screen. And the ati's one : 1600x1200 (the screen is half visible :s). I can change it but if I reboot the resolution will come back at 1152 or 1600 :(
[04:27] <Sakurachan1> so grand vote between Samba and NFS is...     ??
[04:28] <shawnboy> NFS
[04:28] <FernandoF> Dr_Willis it was dne by my system, not my choice
[04:28] <Sakurachan1> awesome :)
[04:28] <Sakurachan1> TA v much
[04:28] <shawnboy> but for casual use it really doesn't matter much. I'd try NFS first. If you have difficulties (u shouldn't) then try Samba.
[04:29] <c0re> hi
[04:29] <karmst> Hello
[04:29] <shawnboy> If you want to transfer files the fastest, setup a simple FTP server and use FTP to transfer. Makes speed dif w/ huge files.
[04:29] <karmst> does anyone know if deluge has an IRC Server?
[04:30] <jsikes> hey, anyone have any thoughts on why i can see wireless networks, but cannot connect? tried the driver fixes on forums with no luck.?
[04:30] <shawnboy> So... my turn. :) Why won't flash install work on my fresh Karmic 64?
[04:30] <Dr_Willis> FernandoF:  if i want to access my NTFS hard drive - i always add a proper fstab entry. I dont rely on gnomes system to auto mount them - it always seems to do things wrong.
[04:30] <karmst> shawnboy: I know the answer to that
[04:30] <Seamus> shawnboy: because adobe doesn't have a 64bit flash on linux OR windows
[04:31] <pererik87> Try the 32 bit flash version
[04:31] <karmst> shawnboy this is a 64bit alpha in the adobe labs for flash
[04:31] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. thers 64bit flash for linux...
[04:31] <bastid_raZor> shawnboy: ubuntu-restricted-extras does well for me on my 64bit system.
[04:31] <Seamus> I wouldn't use it
[04:31] <Dr_Willis> Ive heard of many people in here using it successuyly
[04:31] <karmst> there*
[04:31] <FernandoF> Dr_Willis will i lose my data? what have i to do?
[04:31] <Seamus> adobe is notorious for sucking.
[04:31] <ctmjr> karmst: do not know about a server but they have a channel #deluge on freenode
[04:31] <shawnboy> I thought i was. I downloaded what was offered on Adobe page. Extracted libflashplayer.so into .plugins folder.
[04:31] <Awesome3001> Seamus  Here Here
[04:31] <karmst> on freenode
[04:31] <karmst> hey thanks ctmrj
[04:31] <FernandoF> Dr_Willis i will follow you
[04:31] <karmst> jr*
[04:32] <Dr_Willis> FernandoF:  you are just mounting the filesystem..
[04:32] <Hilikus> why would one use an rsync daemon vs regular rsync commands?
[04:32] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs
[04:32] <ctmjr> karmst: np
[04:32] <Pelo> evening folks
[04:32] <karmst> shawnboy: go here
[04:32] <karmst> http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html
[04:32] <FernandoF> Dr_Willis this is a full hard disk and it was mounted in windows NTFS and it has been working properly till now
[04:33] <Pelo> anyone know a decent enough web browser that requires only X to run, and not a full graphical env. ?
[04:33] <blakkheim> Pelo: ..firefox?
[04:33] <Pelo> blakkheim, FF doesn'T need a graphical env like gnome or kde ?
[04:33] <blakkheim> Pelo: no
[04:34]  * Pelo didn'T know that 
[04:34] <Pelo> blakkheim, thanks
[04:34] <FernandoF> Dr_Willis I have 5 hard disks all doing the same
[04:35] <shawnboy> karmst: I went to URL. I'm confused tho. In thought officially released Firefox was only 32-bit and therefore required 32-bit plugin. What am i missing?
[04:35] <karmst> I use the 64 bit plugin
[04:36] <karmst> I had to make my own plugins directory in ~/.mozilla/firefox/
[04:36] <shawnboy> karmst, to clarify, you use 64-bit flash plugin on official release of Firefox? not a pre-release 64-bit version of Firefox?
[04:36] <Dr_Willis> FernandoF:  if a ntfs disk dosent get properly 'closed' like if windows crashes, or hibernates - then linux wont auto-mount it -  you would be best to reboot to windows and have windows scan/fix all the filesystems. and dont use windows hibernate/suspend also.
[04:37] <Dr_Willis> FernandoF:  learning how to use the ntfs-3g tool will also be a very good thing to learn.
[04:37] <zong-qi> trouble setting up usb mobile broadband modem in 9.04 have google the issue and followed the instructions but it wont connect needs DNS setting for my ISP, modem works on windows so I can get into here, any ideas where I can check my isp DNS using the windows machine ?, ipconfig gives me some IPs and subnet mask etc
[04:39] <Sakurachan1> la dee doo dee dum
[04:39] <ZykoticK9> zong-qi, think you're looking for "ipconfig /all" see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314850 for more details
[04:39] <Kieran0413> zong-qi, "ipconfig /all" should give you the details on windows. If not there's always opendns
[04:39] <Losha> Hilikus: rsync can be set up as a server for people to contact. Now that there are http server, this is less common than it used to be. See man rsync for details....
[04:42] <ziggles> hi all, is anyone here using devede to author dvds?
[04:42] <Pelo> I do ziggles what is your question ?
[04:42] <ardchoille> ziggles: I do
[04:43] <ziggles> are you guys able to access "Chapters" under the Misc tab when an individual video is selected?
[04:43] <V1k1n9> Hi, how can i limit my ubuntu to a 1024x768 resolution, plz it was changed after each reboot.
[04:43] <ziggles> I have been through a few tutorials and i believe there is supposed to be a chapter area under Misc.
[04:44] <ardchoille> ziggles: I never noticed that before, never tried it
[04:44] <bastid_raZor> zong-qi: network-tools.com will give you dns info as well.
[04:44] <Pelo> ziggles,  let me check but from memory , the chapter feature is just a time you set for devede to devide the file so you can use the chapter featur of most stand alone dvd players to skip ahead faster
[04:45] <ardchoille> Pelo: Isn't that simply denoting a set time for each chapter?
[04:45] <zong-qi> thanks ZykoticK9 & Kieran0413 I have the details now I reboot jaunty and see if I can get it to work now :)
[04:45] <ziggles> Pelo, so if i am burning a bunch of 4 minute clips and i would liek the user to have the ability to choose from the menu which clip they want...
[04:45] <pererik87> how to remove joine/left @xchat
[04:45] <ziggles> should that be chapters, or titles?
[04:45] <pererik87> hide*
[04:46] <ziggles> based on what i read, i thought it was titles.
[04:46] <Pelo> ardchoille, not for each chapter just a set time period , can'T be chapter specific if you get my meaning
[04:46] <ziggles> *chapters, sorry, not titles.
[04:46] <ardchoille> pererik87: right the tab, choose Settings and look for the option
[04:46] <ardchoille> Pelo: Yeah, that's what I thought
[04:47] <ardchoille> ziggles: that setting tells the player how long each "skip" will contain
[04:47] <Pelo> ziggles, if you open the propterty page for a given file,  in advance options,  under the general tab you will see,   size of chapteres in minues , that 's the chapter ofpiton you have
[04:47] <ardchoille> so skipping ahead 5 mins or 10 mins, etc
[04:47] <adamonline45_> Odd, any ideas why the samba GUI configuration does nothing when I click 'ok' on a few windows, such as user setup or server setup?
[04:48] <Pelo> ziggles,  if you want your user to select from a set of 4 min long files,  you need to make a title for each,  not bunch them up under one title
[04:48] <Pelo> ziggles, does that answer your question ?
[04:49] <ardchoille> ziggles: I always just put one video per title
[04:49] <ziggles> Pelo, jesus... i am blind.
[04:49] <ziggles> Pelo, i spent like an hour trying to find that option yesterday and was Sure it was missing. :(
[04:49] <Pelo> just Pelo ,  jesus doesn'T hang out in this channel,  he only does dal.net
[04:50] <ziggles> Pelo, ardchoille, thanks for the advice... I think i'm going to do 1 vid per title but now i know where the stinkin chapter setting is. lol
[04:50] <ardchoille> :)
[04:50] <Pelo> ziggles,  have fun
[04:50]  * Pelo wonders if the guy developping tovid got back to working on the gui, it had a lot more options for authoring a dvd 
[04:50] <xTheGoat121x> Anyone else in here use Pidgin?
[04:50] <ziggles> xTheGoat121x, i do
[04:51] <ardchoille> Pelo: I'm wonder that too
[04:51]  * Pelo bans xTheGoat121x and ziggles 
[04:51] <ziggles> :X
[04:51] <xTheGoat121x> ziggles, have you noticed any instability with Pidgin?
[04:51] <ziggles> none at all
[04:51] <xTheGoat121x> Hmmm
[04:51] <ziggles> the windows one sometimes crashes on me
[04:51] <ziggles> not even a crash, just Gone
[04:52] <ziggles> but when im in ubuntu, rock solid
[04:52] <ziggles> what are you seeing?
[04:52] <xTheGoat121x> ziggles, I've got the exact opposite.
[04:52] <avalon_> I'm having trouble using rtorrent in Ubuntu. I've created all the directories that I need and given the appropriate permissions, but when I try to open a torrent file, I get told that it could not create directory with the name of the torrent I want to download.
[04:52] <Kieran0413> GTK apps under windows are usually a bit shaky. Pidgin tends to be pretty solid under linux tho
[04:52] <ziggles> xTheGoat121x, that's what she said.
[04:52] <ziggles> xTheGoat121x, any particular circumstance ?
[04:53] <xTheGoat121x> ziggles, well, it had been that it would crash when I'd drag one conversation to another window... but now it just seems to crash randomly.
[04:53] <shawnboy> anyone using the released version of Adobe Flash 10?
[04:54] <xTheGoat121x> ziggles, and I've started it from Terminal to monitor and the only error it throws is a segfault
[04:54] <iflema> xTheGoat121x: it just with irc
[04:55] <xTheGoat121x> iflema, no, with different protocols
[04:55] <x_> ubuntu is updating the kernel and adds a new entry on grub.. now what i have 3 of them rightnow
[04:55] <iflema> xTheGoat121x: oh ok...
[04:56] <ziggles> xTheGoat121x, hm... nothing in syslog that might help?
[04:56] <ziggles> xTheGoat121x, i'm not really sure because i've always had no probs.  If it's when ur moving windows, maybe it's compiz or something? (if u have that on)
[04:57] <bastid_raZor> x_: uninstall the previous kernel versions. they will be removed
[04:57] <x_> how?
[04:57] <xTheGoat121x> ziggles, hmm, I just found something in the syslog -- I never thought to check there
[04:57] <mediaprodigy> So i downloaded sshserver again even though it already comes with Ubuntu... does this matter..
[04:57] <bastid_raZor> x_: synaptic search for kernel image
[04:58] <bastid_raZor> mediaprodigy: openssh-server is probably what you want .. to be able to ssh in to your box?
[04:58] <shawnboy> i'd like to know answer to x_'s question too
[04:58] <ziggles> xTheGoat121x, cool, maybe it's not even pidgin causing the real issues.
[04:58] <ziggles> Does anyone know how to completely remove trackerd ?
[04:59] <xTheGoat121x> ziggles, it's definitely something between Pidgin and the kernel, I think
[04:59] <mediaprodigy> bastid_razor: isnt it already installed on ubuntu.. and have i lowered my security level since it says be sure you have a good password before installing..
[04:59] <jmburgess> ziggles: apt-get purge
[04:59] <bastid_raZor> mediaprodigy: openssh-server is not installed by default no.
[04:59] <Pelo> ziggles,  the d at the end tells you it's a deamon , if it is still running you might ahve to reboot,  possibly fix it in the rc levels
[05:00] <EsatYuce> who know about CMU SPHINX?
[05:00]  * Pelo 's spelling is just shit tonight
[05:00] <jmburgess> EsatYuce: I sort of do, I go to CMU and know a guy who works on it
[05:00]  * Pelo googles cmu sphinx just for fun
[05:01] <EsatYuce> jmburgess, it is about speaking
[05:01] <Newbuntu2> does anyone know of a good project management/journal/"lab notebook" type software for ubuntu? I need to keep track of some simple data, to do lists, etc
[05:01] <ziroday> Newbuntu2: tomboy
[05:01] <jmburgess> EsatYuce: yeah i know it is a speech recognision thing isn't it
[05:02] <EsatYuce> jmburgess,  right
[05:02] <jmburgess> What do you guys think is the best replacement for oneNote?
[05:02] <EsatYuce> i downloaded it, how can i run this application?
[05:02] <jmburgess> EsatYuce: y?
[05:02] <Pelo> Newbuntu2, hold on if you mean a project manager I have just the thing , I need to find the name
[05:02] <ziroday> jmburgess: tomboy, basKet etc.
[05:02] <EsatYuce> i read all of guide in net
[05:03] <EsatYuce> but i dont know how can i run the application
[05:03] <EsatYuce> what is the suffix of the application?
[05:03] <mediaprodigy> bastid_razor: how download and install software, do i use the software downloader, the synaptic package manager or download the file? I am trying to install FreeNX https://launchpad.net/~freenx-team/+archive/ppa/+packages
[05:03] <oddtddh8> torrents will not go over 109KB\s in Ubuntu 9.10? anyone know why? i have tried 3 diff Bit Torrent clients including transmission, deluge and utorrent under wine, very frustrating and it doesn't appear to be a seeding problem, does ip tables impose speed restrictions on BT?
[05:04] <Pelo> Newbuntu2, try planner , "sudo apt-get install planner"  no quote marks
[05:04] <ziroday> mediaprodigy: to add the repository you need to use Software Sources, afterwards you can use your favourite package manager to install freenx
[05:05] <ZykoticK9> oddtddh8, i certainly get more then 109KB from my torrents using Transmission & Vuze ???
[05:05] <EsatYuce> how can i run the application?
[05:05] <oddtddh8> ZykoticK9, it must be my machine then :( or the ISP im currently on
[05:05] <oddtddh8> blast
[05:05] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  i also get over that.. I have been testing rtorrent lately.. it seems to manage better speeds also.
[05:06] <ziroday> oddtddh8: try a different torrent, if you want to test your actual connection speedtest.com (requires flash) is helpful.
[05:06] <Sakurachan1> Shawnboy u there?
[05:06] <Pelo> oddtddh8, might just be the torrent you are downloading,  I recommend you try torrents for ubuntu and slackware they are often on dedicated servers and their speed maxes out quickly
[05:06] <bastid_raZor> speedtest.net actually.
[05:06] <wisecliff> hi guys
[05:06] <Pelo> ziroday, java to , on speedtest
[05:07] <wisecliff> i am new to ubuntu please help
[05:07] <oddtddh8> well, the weird thing is i have 6 torrents running, when i pause them bar one, i get 109 on that torrent, regardless of which torrent, but enabled all together i get 109~ max, my connection far exeedes this i have fibre to the node
[05:07] <oddtddh8> must be ISP filtering
[05:07] <Sakurachan1> ok, guess not, can anyone else tell me how do i get nfs onto my system?
[05:07] <Pelo> wisecliff, you need to state a problem
[05:07] <Dr_Willis> !ask | wisecliff
[05:07] <Planetary_> soo my sda is all windows and my sdb is mosly ubuntu it has a boot, / , /home , swap partions on it. when i boot from the ubuntu drive it says no operatings system found, but when i boot from the windows drive i get grub and can boot ubuntu. why is that and is that bad???
[05:07] <mediaprodigy> ziroday: so for https://launchpad.net/~freenx-team/+archive/ppa/+packages what would the repository be that I would add
[05:07] <EsatYuce> what is the suffix one application?
[05:07] <avalon_> I'm having trouble using rtorrent in Ubuntu. I've created all the directories that I need and given the appropriate permissions, but when I try to open a torrent file, I get told that it could not create directory with the name of the torrent I want to download.
[05:08] <Pelo> oddtddh8, the azureus ppl use to have a list of bad isp,  not sure where it is ,  what's your isp and where are you located ?
[05:08] <mattameus> EsatYuce, when you look at the icon below it there should be a filename, that filename will end with something like .deb or .tgz
[05:08] <mattameus> the suffix is what comes after the '.'
[05:08] <oddtddh8> Pelo, my isp is Katch and im located in japan
[05:08] <Sakurachan1> how do i get nfs onto my system?
[05:08] <iflema> Newbuntu2: if ya on 9.10 go to the applications menu and select software centre... theres a category for science apps...
[05:08] <EsatYuce> are these for application like .exe on Windows?
[05:08] <Dr_Willis> avalon_:  odd. Not seen that issue here. I just mkdir rtorrent.work, cd'd to rtorrent.work and  downloades stuff to it.
[05:08] <ziroday> mediaprodigy: you need to add ppa:freenx-team/ppa  to your system's Software Sources
[05:08] <Pelo> oddtddh8, not one I'm familiar with , sorry
[05:08] <bastid_raZor> !nfs | Sakurachan1
[05:08] <Dr_Willis> !nfs | Sakurachan1
[05:08] <oddtddh8> Pelo, thats fine :) thanks for helping
[05:08] <wisecliff> when i type wiseken.dev onmy linux box it works fine
[05:09] <oddtddh8> i will try and tunnel my connection to somewhere else then try
[05:09] <oddtddh8> rule out the connection
[05:09] <avalon_> Dr_Willis: mkdir accepts the command mkdir rtorrent.work? I didn't know that the . was acceptable
[05:09] <Pelo> avalon_, you might need to add yourself to the rtorrent group , or some such
[05:09] <wisecliff> but when i use another computer it fails
[05:09] <ZykoticK9> Sakurachan1, be sure you have nfs-kernel-server installed on the server and nfs-common on all your clients
[05:09] <mattameus> EsatYuce, usually applications on ubuntu are distributed in package form (they end in .deb), which is somewhat similar to a .exe installer on windows
[05:10] <muesli> hey guys, i'm trying to make java applets work inside mozilla, but it seems the sun6-java6-plugin in karmic is broken? trying to install it spits out the following:
[05:10] <muesli> sun-java6-plugin: Depends: sun-java6-bin (= 6-15-1) but 6-16-0ubuntu1.9.04 is to be installed
[05:10] <wisecliff> only http://wiseken  works
[05:10] <mediaprodigy> ziroday: how do you determine that.. is there something on the page that tells me that is what needs to go in. when i click add apt in software sources.
[05:10] <EsatYuce> mattameus,  thnaks
[05:10] <Pelo> wisecliff, try to keep your questions statement to one line,  this is a busy channel and using the enter key for punctuation makes you hard to follow,  try asking again , in one line this time
[05:10] <mediaprodigy> ziroday: thanks also for your help
[05:10] <Dr_Willis> avalon_:  huh? I just run rtorrent as my user.. and i make a directory as my user.. in my users home dir.. im not doing anything special/weird/odd....
[05:10] <ziroday> mediaprodigy: I'm looking at the ppa page https://launchpad.net/~freenx-team/+archive/ppa
[05:11] <EsatYuce> How can i search one unknow files with suffix .deb?
[05:11] <Dr_Willis> avalon_:   i just have rtorrent save things to /home/willis/torrents/rtorrent.work   ktorrent i got going to /home/willis/torrents/ktorrent.work  :)
[05:11] <Pelo> EsatYuce,  locate *.deb ?
[05:11] <Sakurachan1> erm okay, can you i'm me a stupids guide to using and setting up two computers together so that i can access the servers files such as music with out it saying 'unable to mount' wen i double click it
[05:11] <Pelo> wisecliff, I don'T allow private msg, talk to me in the channel
[05:12] <ziroday> Sakurachan1: are the two computers both running linux?
[05:12] <Sakurachan1> yes
[05:12] <EsatYuce> i typed *.deb in my home directory, there is no result
[05:12] <mediaprodigy> ziroday: yes.. so am i.. how do you determine from looking at the page to only input ppa:freenx-team/ppa as the url is a bit different.
[05:12] <Pelo> Sakurachan1, hold on I have the perfect thign for you
[05:12] <Sakurachan1> yay!!
[05:12] <ziroday> Sakurachan1: well you can access the files via ssh, samba or nfs. I'd recommend ssh as being the simplest
[05:12] <pererik87> trying a new ati driver. im going down :P
[05:12] <Dr_Willis> Sakurachan1:  you could use 'sshfs' and mount the other pc's directories where you wanted - rather easially..
[05:12] <Pelo> Sakurachan1, I do the nfs one , works great  http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Sharing_Ubuntu_Linux_Folders_with_Remote_Linux_and_UNIX_Systems
[05:13] <ziroday> mediaprodigy: it says at the top under the "Adding this PPA to your system"
[05:13] <Dr_Willis> Sakurachan1:  nfs will be much faster for file transfers..
[05:13] <mattameus> EsatYuce, if you want to find all files that end in deb you open a terminal and run "sudo find / -name -print" without the parenthesis, there is probably a nicer gui way, but I don't keep up on those things
[05:13] <wisecliff> how can I make http:www.wiseken.dev work on my other 3 computers?
[05:14] <hmf> sup? im surprised to find this place idle
[05:14] <kraitos> i just updated to the new kernal and i still have the first kernal and last kernal option on the grub menu when i boot up, can anyone help me in removing thos?'
[05:14] <mattameus> EsatYuce, it will return the locations of all files that end in .deb
[05:14] <mediaprodigy> ziroday: i was on a different page.. i c now
[05:14] <Pelo> wisecliff, what is this wiseken.dev thing ?
[05:14] <Dr_Willis> wisecliff:  you could edit their /etc/hosts file and put in a proper ip for the host. Of is this a actual real machine with dns server entries?
[05:14] <bastid_raZor> kraitos: uninstall them.. use synaptic
[05:15] <MaLuS> hello
[05:15] <wisecliff> i did
[05:15] <kraitos> bastid_raZor, wouldn't sudo apt-get autoremove, remove them also?
[05:15] <Dr_Willis> wisecliff:  be more verbose and concise in your answers.
[05:15] <wisecliff> still not working
[05:15] <dandaman> can i ask someone a quick wget question, perhaps in pm since its OT, no one is in the wget # :\
[05:16] <Pelo> dandaman, just ask here
[05:16] <jtaji> kraitos: what I typically do is search for linux-image, find the older version numbers you want to uinstall, say 2.6.31-15, then search for "2.6.31-15" and uninstall everything that shows up
[05:16] <mediaprodigy> one i add a repository what do i have to do for it to show up in the synaptic package manager?
[05:16] <jtaji> kraitos: not old kernels
[05:16] <bastid_raZor> kraitos: not unless you provide the full package name of each kernel image. just using apt-get autoremove will not remove them
[05:16] <Dr_Willis> mediaprodigy:  after adding a repo you  'update/refresh' the package listing.
[05:16] <wisecliff> ok
[05:16] <hmf> *hmf* nvm, im leaving
[05:16] <dandaman> Pelo: how do i use wget to save a file in a certain directory, like wget http://site.com/image.jpg <something that makes that image go into a directory i want>
[05:17] <wisecliff> this is what i have  on the /etc/hosts
[05:17] <kraitos> bastid_raZor, and jtaji, thanks both for the help let me see if it works or if i do it right.
[05:17] <dandaman> preferably creates that directory if it doesnt exist...
[05:17] <wisecliff> 127.0.0.1       wiseken         wiseken.dev
[05:17] <Dr_Willis> !pastebin | wisecliff
[05:17] <Pelo> dandaman,   wget source > /path/filename
[05:17] <Dr_Willis> wisecliff:  thats saying for the one pc to look at localhost.. for the OTHER pc's you need to use the proper ip of the one machine.
[05:17] <mattameus> EsatYuce, you said you were trying to install cmusphinx? it appears those files are not .deb files, and will be a bit more painful to install, at least if you downloaded them from http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wordpress/download/
[05:17] <dandaman> oh man im dumb, i knew that
[05:17] <Pelo> dandaman, might work with just   /path/
[05:17] <dandaman> thanks
[05:18] <Pelo> np
[05:18] <mediaprodigy> ziroday: thanks
[05:18] <mediaprodigy> DR_Willis: ok i see now.. thanks
[05:18] <Dr_Willis> wisecliff:  hers my example -> http://pastebin.com/f61fb223d
[05:18] <wisecliff> thx
[05:18] <Pelo> wisecliff, do you need special permission from the wiseken ppl to access this site ? you might need to register each computer or someting , cause I couldn'T get throught eiter
[05:18] <Pelo> either
[05:19] <bingoxXx> Hi, I can't see lo in my ifconfig and can't ping localhost.. how to resolve this?
[05:19]  * Pelo hasn'T done this in two years but he still got it 
[05:19] <theshadow> Ok my /usr/sbin/grub-update is writing a menu.lst file and not a grub.cfg file.
[05:19] <theshadow> Ubuntu 9.10
[05:19] <dandaman> Pelo: when i use the > /myfolder i get that permission denied
[05:20] <dandaman> even when i throw a sudo before everything
[05:20] <Pelo> dandaman, try adding a filename to save to
[05:20] <ZykoticK9> dandaman, you can't use sudo and a > on the same line!
[05:20] <bastid_raZor> dandaman: / indicates  root folder.. use ~/myfolder for /home/dandaman/myfolder
[05:20] <dandaman> ok
[05:20]  * Pelo feels silly
[05:20] <wisecliff> thx guys
[05:20] <Dr_Willis> dandaman:  when doing that with sudo - you have to use 'tee' and some othe rtricks.. or do 'sudo -s' then the commands.
[05:21] <bingoxXx> somebody plz help.. I can't see lo in my ifconfig and can't ping localhost.. how to resolve this?
[05:21] <bastid_raZor> dandaman: i didn't see the command you typed.. i am probably wrong
[05:21] <Dr_Willis> dandaman:  after the > the command looses sudo rigths.
[05:21] <mobius2> Greetings Ubuntu channel
[05:21] <Pelo> theshadow, it won'T write a grub.cfg file,  grub 2.0 is very different then 1.0 ,  your fine
[05:21] <Dr_Willis> dandaman:  see   http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/
[05:21] <dandaman> wget http://www.qtsoftware.com/images/products/qt-designer-screenshot-mac > imaging/
[05:21] <mobius2> I am having a rather odd problem,  it has to do with the way windows appear in my gnome disply
[05:22] <dandaman> i want to specify that the folder is within the current directory
[05:22] <kraitos> ok now that i have gotten ride of the two old kernal version, i want the grub menu to only show the option for ubuntu and windows 7, can anyone help?
[05:22] <mobius2> the resolution is fine and quite sharp at  12 hundred somthing
 wget http://www.qtsoftware.com/images/products/qt-designer-screenshot-mac > ~/imaging/
[05:22] <dandaman> going all the way from root would not work
[05:22] <bastid_raZor> kraitos: how did you uninstall them?
[05:22] <theshadow> Pelo: umm except my grub is loading the boot.cfg file and it's not loading the 2.6.31 kernel
[05:22] <Dr_Willis> dandaman:  i think thers a special wget option for that.. or cd into imagng first
[05:22] <mobius2> but when applications are runn ,   they appear in 600 x 800 resolution  making it impossible to  interact with many of their  I/O   yes/ no/ continue buttons
[05:22] <dandaman> hmm ok
[05:23] <dandaman> i think i can do a work around for this
[05:23] <dandaman> nvm
[05:23] <kraitos> bastid_raZor, i went to symnaptic and remove all the old one like you told me and i rebooted and it worked.
[05:23] <mobius2> is there a way to launch a program and command the resolution for it to appear in  from the terminal?
[05:23] <bastid_raZor> kraitos: then they should be gone. synaptic removes them automatically
[05:23] <Dr_Willis> dandaman:  seen the man pages - the -p (prefix) option thers no need work around
[05:23] <mattameus> EsatYuce: type ALT+F2, then click on "Run in Terminal" and paste this into the textbox (without quotes) "sudo apt-get install sphinx2-bin"
[05:23] <Dr_Willis> dandaman:  http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#Directory-Options
[05:23] <Pelo> theshadow, check in the /etc/default/ folder for a grub related file, it constains settings that you can change,  but that's as much as I remember ,  I think you cna specify which kernel to boot from there , by selecting anumber
[05:23] <Dr_Willis> dandaman:  Set directory prefix to prefix. The directory prefix is the directory where all other files and subdirectories will be saved to, i.e. the top of the retrieval tree. The default is ‘.’ (the current directory).
[05:24] <mattameus> it will ask you for your password and install sphinx
[05:24] <kraitos> bastid_raZor, right, but now i want it to show only ubuntu and windows 7 option instead of the recovery and memory test, could you help with this?
[05:24] <bastid_raZor> kraitos: that you'll need to do some grub2 scripting..
[05:24] <bastid_raZor> !grub2 | kraitos
[05:24] <Dr_Willis> kraitos:  for memtest you chmod -x the /etc/grub.d/memtest file.
[05:24] <theshadow> Pelo: Thanks, but thats just it. At boot grub is loading /boot/grub/boot.cfg which is a completely different format from menu.lst and in the comments it says that /usr/sbin/grub-update should generate this file but its not
[05:25] <Dr_Willis> kraitos:  other is controlled by the /etc/default/grub config options I belive.
[05:25] <bastid_raZor> kraitos: also you may need to keep those.. they are important if things go wrong
[05:25] <Pelo> I'm off to bed, g'night folks
[05:25] <kraitos> bastid_raZor, i was just going to ask for a link thanks
[05:25] <bastid_raZor> kraitos: good luck.
[05:25] <Pelo> theshadow, try asking in #grub,  your problem is over my head , sorry
[05:25] <Pelo> g'night follks
[05:25] <kraitos> bastid_raZor, thanks man
[05:25] <mediaprodigy> nite pelo
[05:25] <AnirbanHazra> Is there any Official Twitter page for Ubuntu ?
[05:26] <iflema> Kraitos: carefully edit the grub.cfg file sorta like menu.lst..... and run grub-update... do it from a live cd...
[05:27] <iflema> Kraitos: grub-update after ya outa the live cd
[05:28] <Planetary_> does anyone know how to change login resolution in 9.10?
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. if you edit grub.cfg then run update-grub - the changes to grub.cfg get overwritten
[05:32] <karmst> man I am so lost
[05:32] <karmst> ?!?
[05:33] <Planetary_> ksrmst: whys that?
[05:34] <Cubey> Anyone familiar with the black volume meter that displays when you use keyboard volume controls?
[05:35] <Dr_Willis> Cubey:  the volume 'osd' i think its called.
[05:36] <Cubey> Dr_Willis: Is there any way to disable that from displaying when controlling volume?
[05:36] <Dr_Willis> Cubey:  never noticed or tried.
[05:36] <Cubey> it's a bit annoying when it pulls you out of full screen.. :S
[05:36] <Dr_Willis> never had it pull me out of fullscreen either.
[05:36] <x1r3> Hey all, I'm having problems with my sound. When I plug in my headphone no sounds come out of them and continues to come out the speakers anyone know how to fix this.
[05:36] <Dr_Willis> Unless you are refering to flash videos...
[05:36] <Dr_Willis> You look at a flash video wrong and it exists fullscreen
[05:37] <Cubey> yeah, i am. plus I just dislike it displaying
[05:37] <Dr_Willis> I never wtch flash (or rarely) so No idea on it.
[05:37] <PC_Nerd101> Is there any way to have content form the sse session displayed on the computer screen, even though the session is to another computer?   I do have a keyboard  hooked up to the machine, but its easier for me to control a number of computers over ssh and just see progress on the second screen.... ?
[05:37] <Dr_Willis> I use dual monitors. fullscreen flash dosent work worth a pooo...
[05:37] <Cubey> heh
[05:38] <tangentcollision> hey there
[05:39] <tangentcollision> how can I re-install alsa?
[05:39] <maco> tangentcollision: by reinstalling the kernel
[05:39] <maco> tangentcollision: or if you mean the alsa userspace libraries, reinstalling alsalib
[05:39] <tangentcollision> when I do alsamixer, it gives me a file not found error, which leads me to believe that many things are missing
[05:39] <maco> tangentcollision: which now i think about it may be called libasound2
[05:40] <tangentcollision> maco: I'll try that first, then if it doesn't work, I'll continue trying to re-install with arch
[05:40] <LeNsTR> morning
[05:40] <maco> tangentcollision: what file does it say is not found?
[05:40] <maco> tangentcollision: you can do "dpkg -S FILENAME" to see what package that is installed it should be in
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> !find alsamixer
[05:41] <maco> tangentcollision: if that doesnt help, installing "apt-file" then running "sudo apt-file update" and finally "apt-file search FILENAME" would tell you what package needs to be installed
[05:41] <Hunt5> Hi al, i have created a big problem for myself, can anyone please help me out. I had a working set up of gstreamer on my machine, but on the way of getting new git version, i removed .so files from /usr/lib, now even after installing from git versions, gstreamer doesnot work on my machine..can anyone pls tell me, what i can do solve this?
[05:41] <tangentcollision> hmm
[05:42] <freeride1> please, how to make torrents to open with transmission not ktorrent? i use gnome
[05:42] <tangentcollision> function snd_ctl_open failed for default: no such file or directory
[05:42] <tangentcollision> maco: that
[05:43] <Scunizi> freeride1: right mouse click open with
[05:43] <maco> tangentcollision: iirc, sounds like its not finding your sound device
[05:43] <maco> tangentcollision: are you able to get any sounds out at all?
[05:43] <tangentcollision> no, because I can't open alsamixer to unmute
[05:43] <maco> tangentcollision: and did you happen to just upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10?
[05:44] <tangentcollision> I have no idea what version I have
[05:44] <freeride1> Scunizi, i know, but how to make transmission default application, without deleting ktorrent
[05:44] <maco> tangentcollision: lsb_release -a
[05:44] <maco> tangentcollision: and uname -a
[05:44] <tangentcollision> 8.04
[05:44] <maco> oh
[05:44] <tangentcollision> 2.6.24
[05:45] <Scunizi> freeride1: right mouse click the file and go to properties.. should be somewhere in there
[05:45] <maco> alsamixer -c0, maybe?
[05:45] <freeride1> Scunizi thanks!
[05:45] <maco> tangentcollision: try alsamixer -c0
[05:45] <maco> tangentcollision: i think 8.04 was the version that needed that
[05:46] <tangentcollision> wrong argument
[05:46] <maco> hrmph
[05:46] <tangentcollision> indeed
[05:46] <maco> tangentcollision: can i get your alsa-info.sh output?
[05:46] <tangentcollision> sure
[05:46] <tangentcollision> wait, what?
[05:46] <maco> tangentcollision: it can be downloaded from http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh
[05:46] <tangentcollision> where is this script located?
[05:47] <tangentcollision> ah
[05:47] <maco> tangentcollision: its the alsa community's debugging script
[05:47] <maco> tangentcollision: itll give you a link to give to me

[05:49] <Cubey> ok, i put the black one back. lol
[05:49] <tangentcollision> I'm just going to go for a full re-install
[05:50] <maco> tangentcollision: yeah....
[05:50] <tangentcollision> thanks guys, I'll see you when this distribution is not bastardized to hell and in everyone else's asshole
[05:50] <maco> tangentcollision: doesnt sound like your sound hardware's getting any kind of recognition at the moment
[05:50] <maco> tangentcollision: um that wasnt exactly appropriate
[05:50] <tangentcollision> peace, thanks maco
[05:50] <maco> tangentcollision: but you may want to try a more recent version as pulseaudio was quite broken in 8.04
[05:51] <AJC_Z0> Still quite broken in 9.04, though better

[05:56] <pitput> curious question. what's the purpose of ubuntu releasing a new kernel? update? better? faster system?
[05:56] <iflema> I guess it helps to read... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 the removal things not so hard after all..
[05:56] <crabgrass> okay guys, just installed a new 1tb hdd, and i'm looking at gparted right now... should i format this as ext3 or ext4 or reiser?
[05:56] <jukebox-zero> Hi, does anyone know how to disable IPv6 without editing the grub? A link to a detailed explaination of my problem is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8629422#post8629422

[05:59] <[deXter]> lordganesh: In most cases it's as simple as establishing the internet connection on the phone and starting the necessary connection sharing program on the phone and plugging in the cable...
[05:59] <[deXter]> lordganesh: it should detect a new network interface and you might have to click on the icon for the connection to establish

[06:02] <theshadow> Alright, not to be an arse but seriously. 9.10 has been the worst upgrade I've ever had. My wireless drivers (Broadcom STA) are showing up as active but not in use in the restricted drivers window. If I remove then activate them it all works fine but when I reboot it does the same thing again.

[06:03] <karmst> Hello
[06:03] <karmst> I need some help with setting up an init.d script for deluge
[06:04] <karmst> it keeps giving me an LSB error
[06:04] <xeer> I'm using Karmic and have the lastest eclipse. When I run it from the command line It pauses for a few seconds and then returns back to the shell without any output. the program fails to run.
[06:04] <xeer> I have tried erasing the .eclipse folder in my home directory but it does the same
[06:04] <pererik87> Fresh install is the bitch :P new versions of everything, no extra bugs, all the new space that suddenly appear. your awful custom desktop need to be changed anyways, new version new design.
[06:05] <dtbelobrown> Adding "PermitRootAccess no" to /etc/ssh/ssh_config doesn't seem to do what I would think.  anyone happen to know what I might be doing wrong?
[06:06] <Maletor> ---failed: "sh -c 'kill -USR2 /home/hidden/www/picpocket/shared/pids/unicorn.pid'" on 10.0.1.15
[06:06] <Maletor> How do I tell kill it's a pid file?
[06:06] <crabgrass> back... 'cause i'm a retard
[06:06] <Maletor> Returns kill: 1: Illegal number <path>
[06:07] <crabgrass> forgot the location of that device list file that i need to boot
[06:07] <AJC_Z0> Maletor: kill -HUP $(< /home/hidden/www/picpocket/shared/pids/unicorn.pid)
[06:07] <crabgrass> and i know i need to add my new hdd to it to get it to automount
[06:07] <xeer> I'm using Karmic and have the lastest eclipse. When I run it from the command line It pauses for a few seconds and then returns back to the shell without any output. the program fails to run. I have tried erasing the .eclipse folder in my home directory but it does the same
[06:07] <crabgrass> it's somewhere in /etc, right?
[06:07] <dtbelobrown> and before anyone asks, yes I did "/etc/init.d/ssh restart"
[06:07] <Maletor> AJC_Z0: will that restart the process as well?
[06:08] <hero1900> where i can found all debs for the application i do install by synaptic which folder???
[06:08] <dtbelobrown> do I have to close all of my ssh sessions for sshd to actually restart?
[06:08] <zkoo> dtbelobrown: you want sshd_config not ssh_config
[06:08] <AJC_Z0> crabgrass: /etc/fstab, but don't confuse that with the automounter
[06:08] <crabgrass> OH
[06:08] <crabgrass> yeah, facestab, that's the one
[06:08] <crabgrass> thanks!
[06:08] <dtbelobrown> zkoo:  aaaaahhhh    thank you!!!!
[06:08] <ZykoticK9> hero1900, /var/cache/apt/archives
[06:08] <zkoo> you're welcome :)
[06:08] <xeer> crabgrass: just a guess, file system table?
[06:08] <AJC_Z0> Maletor: That will send the process a HUP signal. Then it's up to the process what to do with it. Good daemons will restart or reconfigure on a HUP
[06:09] <jtaji> dtbelobrown: also I'm not familiar with that option, usually it's PermitRootLogin
[06:09] <crabgrass> yeah, i know it's filesystem table, but it looks like face-stab, so that's what i call it
[06:09] <hero1900> thx
[06:09] <crabgrass> plus, non-linux users get a kick out of it
[06:09] <xeer> oooookay then..
[06:09] <crabgrass> especially ones that watch metalpocalypse
[06:09] <crabgrass> yeah
[06:09] <crabgrass> don't worry about it
[06:09] <AJC_Z0> dtbelobrown: You can restart the sshd service without closing existing connections
[06:09] <xeer> sounds like you've been smoking a lil too much of that crabgrass
[06:10] <crabgrass> heh
[06:10] <Hunt5> hey i thought someone wil suggest me something here...please..help me come to normal situation....i have created a big problem for myself, can anyone please help me out. I had a working set up of gstreamer on my machine, but on the way of getting new git version, i removed .so files from /usr/lib, now even after installing from git versions, gstreamer doesnot work on my machine..can anyone pls tell me, what i can do solve this?
[06:10] <dtbelobrown> jtaji: you are correct.  I mistyped it here in the chat.  thanks.
[06:10] <AJC_Z0> Hunt5: Reinstall the packages you broke
[06:11] <dtbelobrown> AJC_Z0:  oh, cool.  that makes it easier.  Thanks.
[06:11] <crabgrass> ...any pros and cons for mounting via UUID?
[06:11] <jtaji> crabgrass: can't think of any cons, it's the default method nowadays
[06:12] <crabgrass> alright
[06:12] <maco> crabgrass: it was very helpful back when libsata switched from ide as hda and sata as sda to both being sda.  people who had hardcoded /dev/hda were a bit stuck
[06:12] <crabgrass> hmm... how do i list UUIDs?
[06:12] <crabgrass> my fstab is all disorganized
[06:13] <Losha> crabgrass: main con is they're too long to commit to memory, unlike e.g. /dev/sda3
[06:13] <jtaji> !uuid | crabgrass
[06:13] <crabgrass> haha very true
[06:13] <crabgrass> jtaji: should have seen that coming. thanks!
[06:13] <nameo0> how do i install winetricks?
[06:13] <nameo0> or download it?
[06:14] <crabgrass> nameo0: try `sudo apt-get install winetricks` and if that doesn't work, google it
[06:14] <crabgrass> ...would be my guess, but that's 'cause i'm lazy
[06:14] <nameo0> crabgrass: did not work
[06:14] <crabgrass> google it then
[06:15] <crabgrass> "ubuntu  install winetricks"
[06:15] <ZykoticK9> nameo0, http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
[06:15] <JairunCaloth> What's the best way to handle cleaning up these huge files git is making?
[06:15] <crabgrass> oh god no
[06:15] <TheCheeze> after i updated my kernel last night i am stuck with an icon saying that i don't have my ethernet plugged in. is there a way to get rid of this icon?
[06:15] <crabgrass> what used to be sda1 is now sdd1
[06:16] <crabgrass> ...am i going to have to remake all my symlinks?
[06:16] <KB1JWQ> crabgrass: No.
[06:16] <Hunt5> AJC_Z0: i reinstalled too
[06:16] <crabgrass> they follow based on UUID too?
[06:16] <jtaji> crabgrass: they are based on filesystem path only
[06:17] <crabgrass> thank god
[06:17] <crabgrass> wow, i love this OS more every day
[06:17] <Hunt5> AJ_Z0: i reinstalled the packages what eveer i found in apt-get list. what else can i try?
[06:17] <nameo0> i am having trouble downloading winetricks
[06:17] <crabgrass> also... what's SEC_TYPE?
[06:17] <dtbelobrown> zkoo:  it works, and my box is more secure.  Thanks again!
[06:17] <jtaji> crabgrass: in what context?
[06:18] <Losha> nameo0: from http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks ?
[06:18] <nameo0> ya
[06:18] <crabgrass> blkid returned: `/dev/sda1: UUID="eb9fcdf8-6b3f-4cd6-a026-ab20f90be04b" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" ` for one line
[06:18] <crabgrass> none of the other entries have SEC_TYPE
[06:18] <jtaji> crabgrass: hmm.. well ext3 can be mounted as ext2, ignoring the journal
[06:18] <crabgrass> oh, okay.
[06:18] <crabgrass> i'm pretty sure it's been formatted as ext3 thought
[06:18] <nikhil_> hi, does ubuntu compile x from the x free tree?
[06:19] <crabgrass> *though
[06:19] <nameo0> Losha: ya
[06:19] <crabgrass> i have no idea why ext2 came up in regards to anything
[06:19] <ghost1982> hey can anyone else confirm that linuxwireless.org is down
[06:19] <jtaji> crabgrass: yes that's normal for ext3.. it's essentially just ext2 + journal
[06:19] <ghost1982> im kind of worried about a mitm attack on one of my systems
[06:19] <nameo0> i click on the link and then save it like it says and nothing happens when i try to open the download
[06:19] <crabgrass> ghost1982: it's up, but the site is dead. there's just a placeholder.
[06:19] <crabgrass> jtaji: but none of the other entries include that.
[06:19] <ghost1982> cool
[06:20] <ghost1982> ok so i was just paranoid
[06:20] <ghost1982> lol
[06:20] <crabgrass> lol
[06:20] <ghost1982> thanks man
[06:20] <crabgrass> yeah, but that's a good thing.
[06:20] <ghost1982> yup
[06:20] <Hunt5> AJC_Z0 : i reinstalled the packages what eveer i found in apt-get list. what else can i try?
[06:20] <ghost1982> what a good time for me to be patching my wireless
[06:20] <ghost1982> lol
[06:20] <jtaji> crabgrass: ahh.. I wouldn't worry about it
[06:20] <crabgrass> alright then, i'll just call it ext3 in fstab
[06:20] <karmst> ok in init.d scripts what does the command fi do?
[06:20] <kapu> how do I use ubuntu/unix utilities to take a text file and automatically insert a new line character every n characters without cutting words apart?
[06:20] <Losha> nameo0: don't open it, save it to a file and then run it from a terminal...
[06:20] <jtaji> crabgrass: yes TYPE is the important one
[06:21] <crabgrass> yeah, i'm setting type to ext3 for all of these
[06:21] <crabgrass> ...except the reiser and swap ones
[06:21] <jtaji> karmst: bash scripting... fi ends an if block
[06:21] <karmst> ok
[06:21] <Hunt5> hey i thought someone wil suggest me something here...please..help me come to normal situation....i have created a big problem for myself, can anyone please help me out. I had a working set up of gstreamer on my machine, but on the way of getting new git version, i removed .so files from /usr/lib, now even after installing from git versions, gstreamer doesnot work on my machine..can anyone pls tell me, what i can do solve this?
[06:22] <Hunt5> how can i narrow down my problem and see what happened exactly? i already reinstalled...
[06:22] <matts> hola
[06:22] <Losha> nameo0: save it to a file, then type chmod +x file, then ./file...
[06:22] <matts> hay gente?
[06:22] <nikhil_> hi, does ubuntu compile x from the xfree tree?
[06:22] <jtaji> Hunt5: reinstalled what and how?
[06:23] <Losha> !es | matts
[06:23] <faileas> nikhil_: no, they use xorg, as do most distros
[06:23] <matts> oka gracias
[06:23] <ghost1982> nikhil_ thats a question i would love to see a good answer for because ive some issues compiling gdm lol
[06:24] <Hunt5> jtaji: i reinstalled with apt-get --reinstall <relevantpackages in found in list>
[06:24] <nikhil_> :D
[06:24] <Muskat33r> hi all
[06:24] <Hunt5> jtaji: do you have any idea about gstreamer too? if so i can tell what exactly i reinstalled
[06:25] <jtaji> Hunt5: no nothing specific, I was going to suggest reinstall of all installed gstreamer packages
[06:25] <jtaji> Hunt5: do you know what .so files you deleted?
[06:25] <karmst> ah
[06:26] <karmst> great it finally works
[06:26] <zong-qi> trouble with usb mobile modem, been googling the issue and the Huawei modem works elsewhere in the world but I dont seem to be able to connect , jaunty finds the device as in http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3eb96927 but won't connect, ISP has no ubuntu/linux support, any ideas to try ? using an old windows box to get here, modem gets good signal strength
[06:26] <Losha> nameo0: chmod +winetricks; ./winetricks  <--- note added semicolon
[06:26] <karmst> ;)
[06:26] <Muskat33r> anything i should do if i try to install ubuntu studio 9.10 and it gives me grub err??
[06:26] <crabgrass> so, even if i change my mountpoints, all my symlinks will still function?
[06:26] <crabgrass> in fstab, btw
[06:27] <ZykoticK9> crabgrass, your links will most likely be broken
[06:27] <Cedar> does ubuntu keep access logs for remote desktop someplace? does anyone know
[06:28] <crabgrass> ZykoticK9: nooooo
[06:28] <ghost1982> so wireless.kernel.org is down 2 :(
[06:28] <crabgrass> jtaji: ...concur?
[06:28] <Losha> nameo0: chmod +x winetricks; ./winetricks  <--- note added +x
[06:28] <jtaji> crabgrass: nope, as long as the target file still exists at the same filesystem path, the link is still functioning
[06:28] <ghost1982> can anyone point me to a ftp for eather wireless.kernel.org or linuxwireless.org
[06:28] <crabgrass> oh, filesystem path.
[06:28] <crabgrass> hmm.
[06:28] <vdubhack> anyone know how to view an isofs disk on ubuntu? its a training disk from career academy
[06:29] <crabgrass> well, what used to be mounted as /media/sda1 is now /dev/sdb1, which makes me want to mount it as /media/sdb1
[06:29] <hero1900> i have some career academy
[06:29] <hero1900> i did open by wine
[06:29] <crabgrass> so, uh, just suck it up and get over the OCDness of it all?
[06:29] <dtbelobrown> So I had a 500GB external HD with one big NTFS partition on it.  Only used it from windows.  I Booted an ubuntu liveCD to rescue some files and write them to this HD.  Now the HD can only be read from ubuntu, not either of the two windows boxes I tried.  suggestions welcome.
[06:29] <vdubhack> is wine the only way
[06:29] <jtaji> crabgrass: it's normal to put mount points under /media, not /dev
[06:30] <_radec> sry about all the name changin trying not to use someone elses name
[06:30] <hero1900> or you can whatch movies seperatelly
[06:30] <jtaji> crabgrass: oh sorry I see
[06:30] <hero1900> i mean the courses mov
[06:30] <jtaji> crabgrass: yeah just give it a name
[06:30] <karmst> I need help
[06:30] <karmst> on my script I keep getting LSB errors
[06:30] <hero1900> but wine is perfect with me
[06:30] <karmst> =(
[06:30] <hero1900> do you have problem with it?
[06:31] <crabgrass> it is now /media/wd1tb
[06:31] <crabgrass> actually that's a good naming convention, i should use that more often.
[06:31] <vdubhack> how do you run it with wine
[06:32] <hero1900> vdubhack do you already has wine?
[06:32] <vdubhack> nope never had to use it before
[06:32] <vdubhack> I was just hoping for a plug in to some media player or some library install or something
[06:33] <hero1900> aha do install it from ubuntu software center
[06:33] <vdubhack> ok thanks guess i will try it out
[06:34] <hero1900> and then change resolution
[06:34] <hero1900> vdubhack it will ask to be run in 1024x 700 resolution
[06:34] <vdubhack> ok I will try and figure that out
[06:34] <hero1900> ok
[06:34] <hero1900> good luck
[06:35] <vdubhack> thanks i tried wine once and it pissed me off to the point i just uninstalled it and used a windows comp
[06:35] <Muskat33r> grub rescue>
[06:35] <JohnSmith1> When I boot Ubuntu 9.04 live CD... how do I tell it to connect to my Wireless Router for internet access pls?
[06:35] <ghost1982> same as the regular ubuntu
[06:35] <vdubhack> ifconfig eth1 up
[06:36] <JohnSmith1> which is?
[06:36] <ghost1982> or if u are using wireless u will need the wireless driver for it if the cd doesn't provide it
[06:36] <JohnSmith1> ghost1982: so what do I do?
[06:37] <andraxiiux> hey
[06:40] <Muskat33r> anyone got help for some halt during install, file ttf-scorefonts-installer stalls
[06:40] <nikhil_> could anyone please tell me where the kernel sources are in ubuntu?
[06:41] <wolter> hi people, i need help.. my touchpad is scrolling vertically when I rub it horizontally
[06:41] <dark> nikhil_, apt-cache search linux-kernel
[06:42] <wolter> nikhil_, you have to use the tools man
[06:42] <jtaji> nikhil_: /usr/src, assuming you've installed linux-source
[06:42] <Hunt5> Hi all, i am not seeing the battery status displayed on my laptop, how cani enable that?
[06:42] <dark> wolter, it is on a laptop? what's the model?
[06:42] <wolter> dark, dell xps m1530
[06:42] <wolter> dark the problem is new.. i could scroll right before
[06:42] <Hunt5> jtaji: i reinstalled the relevant packages i saw in apt-get wt --reinstall
[06:43] <wolter> dark it started after i tried to enable 2 finger scrolling and maybe changed some wrong lines in the wrong files
[06:43] <Hunt5> how do i check my laptop's model?
[06:43]  * dark can't help both, but is a little afraid: his laptop will come in a week..
[06:43] <jukebox-zero> What's the prefered grub rescue/system recovery disc for 9.10?
[06:43] <dark> Hunt5, hm you can check the componentes, lspci
[06:43] <jtaji> Hunt5: system > prefs > power management, general tab, always display icon
[06:44] <ubuntu> yo
[06:44] <ubuntu> .lkh;j
[06:44] <Muskat33r> jukebox-zero, i might be having similar issues as you are having, i just download the i386 x86 windows ubuntu, and am burning to CD for Live CD atm
[06:45] <Hunt5> in my power mgmt, i gave Always display an icon, but i still dont see the icon displayed?
[06:45] <jukebox-zero> Muskat33r: Depends, what issues are you having? lemme scroll up, heh.
[06:46] <Hunt5> jtaji: can you help me out in coming out of the blunder i did?
[06:46] <Muskat33r> j-zero, the install of ubuntu studio wasn't successful, halts on step selecting and installing, at the point of ttf-mscorefonts-installer, and now when i try to boot, i get grub rescue> msg after post
[06:47] <jukebox-zero> Muskat33r, Nah, you're getting even farther along than I am. I can't even load the grub due to it doesn't recognize the UUID of my boot drive. I can fix it on a per boot basis using the live cd and the grub command line, but I need a more permanent solution.
[06:47] <Hunt5> hey can anyone pls help me in getting my gstreamer again to work? i removed .so files from /usr/lib, but reinstalled them again using apt-get --reinstall
[06:47] <Hunt5> does anyone use gstreamer over here?
[06:48] <TonyPony> ghost1982: u there?
[06:48] <jukebox-zero> Hunt5, I don't know anything about gstreamer per say, but did you completely remove it before reinstalling?
[06:49] <TonyPony> ghost1982: it worked as you said...  i clicked wireless icon and then my router.  Works on 9.04
[06:49] <Muskat33r> jukebox-zero, can you dual boot or only boot into the live cd?
[06:49] <Hunt5> jukebox-zero: i am lost...i am really confused now for myself
[06:49] <TonyPony> when I run liveCD does it write anything to my C: drive?
[06:50] <Hunt5> jukebox-zero: what does " completely remove it before reinstalling?" mean?
[06:50] <nikhil_> when doing: sudo apt-get build-dep linux, I get: E: Unable to find a source package for linux-meta -- could someone help please?
[06:50] <Hunt5> what am i supposed to do for that?
[06:50] <jukebox-zero> can someone wiser than I point hunt5 in the direction for the apt command for removing an installed package?
[06:50] <nikhil_> i think it may be apt-get remove
[06:50] <jukebox-zero> oh, and probably it's dependancies
[06:51] <Hunt5> jukebox-zero: it was never a wiser thing, but i did it and i need to solve it..
[06:52] <jukebox-zero> Hunt5 try a man apt or a man apt-get or something along those lines in a terminal until you find the command for deleting/removing/uninstalling a package. run apt-get autoclean, then try reinstalling and see if that helps.
[06:53] <Muskat33r> there are so many people here, wish i knew what i am doing to help others
[06:55] <jukebox-zero> Muskat33r, I *could* dual boot, but I only got 6gb free on my second drive for an install so I can only boot from live cd for purposes of this glitch. Mine pertains to grub2 somehow not wanting to boot from an ext4 partition I think.
[06:56] <Muskat33r> jukebox-zero, ah ic, i installed grub and not grub2 bc of msg saying it was experimental
[06:57] <wolter> dark so you cannot help me?
[06:57] <jukebox-zero> muskrat33r, Hmm, mine may be grub as well then. It's whatever ships with 9.10 live cd by default. both update-grub and update-grub2 commands work so I never really checked into it. Only assumed.
[06:58] <Muskat33r> anyone tell me how i can identify partitions, as the (hdA,B) format, so i know what #'s i used for /,/home,swap
[07:00] <bilalakhtar> Hi guys i am having a problem with the drum login sound. for more details please go to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1373964 How do i solve the problem?
[07:00] <powertool08> Muskat33r: You can go by size, or mount them one by one and take notes.
[07:01] <wolter> can somebody help me with my crazy touchpad?
[07:03] <bilalakhtar> hello? anybody here?
[07:04] <Muskat33r> is there a reason why i need more than 1 partitions, such as /,/home,swap (3 there)
[07:04] <Organizm> depends what you're trying to do.
[07:04] <Organizm> but everyone's got a swap partition.
[07:05] <Organizm> and by everyone i mean lots of folks : )
[07:05] <powertool08> Muskat33r: You want /home on its own partition, trust me. It makes reinstalling a breeze.
[07:05] <Organizm> oh yeah.  true that.
[07:05] <Organizm> those are really the only partitions i have come to think of it.
[07:05] <Captain_Haddock> ubuntu keeps repeatedly downloading the same package list updates when I run apt-get update
[07:05] <Organizm> i have four.
[07:05] <Captain_Haddock> any idea why?
[07:06] <Organizm> i have /, /home/me, /home/ftp and swap
[07:06] <Muskat33r> 0rganizm, any suggestion on GB sizes for each?
[07:06] <Organizm> and me and ftp are mirrored.  so i've got 5 drives total in use.
[07:06] <Organizm> ;  J
[07:06] <Organizm> the os is usually small.
[07:06] <Organizm> so like 8-12GB should be fine.
[07:06] <bilalakhtar> Captain_Haddock: Maybe there is a GPG error
[07:07] <bilalakhtar> Hi guys i am having a problem with the drum login sound. for more details please go to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1373964 How do i solve the problem?
[07:07] <powertool08> I have /, /home, /swap, and /windoze /some other windows connected partition I should reclaim for space
[07:07] <ne1> which web server will be better for webif of openwrt?
[07:07] <Captain_Haddock> bilalakhtar: doesn't report anything
[07:07] <Organizm> and i think swap is usually set to twice your ram size (unless you've got a lot of ram like 1GB<)
[07:07] <faileas> well, that's if you want to suspend
[07:08] <bilalakhtar> Captain_Haddock: Oh then the reason might be that the repos are updated very frequently
[07:08] <Captain_Haddock> bilalakhtar: every 2 minutes? This has been happening for a few days now
[07:08] <Captain_Haddock> the package list downloads are all the same size
[07:09] <Muskat33r> 0granizm, do you know any useful commands when i get a grub rescue> prompt at boot? besides ls
[07:09] <bilalakhtar> Captain_Haddock: but in most cases when you run apt-get update when the repos are not updated apt-get simply marks the unchanged files as "Hit"
[07:10] <Captain_Haddock> There's always one which is 1353KB large and another 5133KB large (and others too).. it downloads them everytime
[07:10] <Organizm> heh... Muskat33r.  i do not.  i'd probably pop in a liveCD and read the grub man pages and try to figure out what to do from there.
[07:10] <bilalakhtar> Captain_Haddock: Is apt-get listing the packages as "Hit" or "Get"
[07:10] <Captain_Haddock> this is also the case when I use synaptic to do so
[07:10] <xeer> Organizm: you rely on your swap often? I'm comfortable without a swap and my system runs fine.
[07:10] <Captain_Haddock> bilalakhtar: GET.. it's downloading them over and over again.
[07:10] <bilalakhtar> Captain_Haddock: Try clearing your apt-cache
[07:11] <Organizm> xeer, i don't actually 'rely' on it.  according to top, i don't use it very often.  it's just sort of a safety blanket, i guess.
[07:11] <bilalakhtar> Captain_Haddock: by typing apt-cache clean
[07:11] <dark> wolter, no :( I was asking because by providing this information, others could help you better
[07:11] <dark> wolter, try posting in the forums
[07:11] <Hunt5> jukebox-zero: autoclean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files, in this  retrieved package files meaning??
[07:11] <Organizm> i've got a GB of ram though.  and i'm actually using slackware and not ubuntu.  though i do have ubuntu on my laptop.
[07:11] <xeer> Organizm: my safety blankey is restarting firefox often. I've seen it grow to 2gb of memory with only 1 page open.
[07:12] <Captain_Haddock> bilalakhtar: no such command
[07:12] <Captain_Haddock> bilalakhtar: sudo apt-get autoclean
[07:12] <Captain_Haddock> bilalakhtar: sudo apt-get clean
[07:12] <Captain_Haddock> I've done both of them
[07:12] <bilalakhtar> Captain_Haddock: no, sudo apt-cache clean
[07:12] <Organizm> xeer, lol... i know what you mean.  i've seen 800MB of cache on behalf of firefox.  i have no idea where that goes or why it's used.
[07:12] <Captain_Haddock> bilalakhtar: it says invalid operation
[07:12] <bilalakhtar> Captain_Haddock: sorry sudo apt-get clean
[07:13] <Captain_Haddock> bilalakhtar: that's what I did.
[07:13] <bilalakhtar> so what did it say?
[07:13] <Muskat33r> 0rganizm, if i have 4gb ram, do i need swap?
[07:14] <Organizm> Muskat33r, if i had 4GB, i probably wouldn't bother.
[07:14] <Captain_Haddock> bilalakhtar: Reading package lists... Done                                                 Building dependency tree                                                      Reading state information... Done
[07:14] <Captain_Haddock> bilalakhtar: it didn't have anything to clean.
[07:14] <FireCrotch> Organizm: it's probably the cache for when you click the "back" button in firefox
[07:14] <bilalakhtar> Captain_Haddock: try update again
[07:15] <Prescience500> does anyone know of a repository (or where i can find it) i can use to update totem to the latest version?
[07:15] <Organizm> FireCrotch, yeah.  but you figure if it's caching 800MB, i'd have downloaded that much... i've got a 1Mb connection... there isn't time to get that much content.  so like i said, i haven't a clue what it's using that for.
[07:15] <Muskat33r> 0rganizm, did you split partitions into /home/me and /home/ftp so you can change access rights for certain files much easier?
[07:16] <Organizm> Muskat33r, i have those partitions because they're on physically separate hard drives.  i have a two disk mirror for each of those mount points.

[07:30] <xpo0f> :)
[07:30] <Captain_Haddock> L3dPlatedLinux: if it isn't broken, why bother?
[07:30] <bilalakhtar> L#dPlatedLinux: If you do a lot of gaming and you are hving issues with the current drivers, then it is wise to move

[07:58] <MASARUwota> julien_BLUG: cant you move them?
[07:58] <angelus> there its "installed" ... (assuming ofc that its not a source file and everything there is compiled)

[07:59] <julien_BLUG> MASARUwota, I have tried to drag the panels but it did not work, maybe from the menu, lemme try this
[07:59] <angelus> alienpulse, now open that directory in the file browser, and there should be a file with the program's name (no extention), double clicking on it will open it up.
[08:00] <julien_BLUG> MASARUwota, from the panel properties menu, I get an orientation dropdown to choose the orientation of the panel but it does not let me choose on which screen I want the panel

[08:08] <panepistimio> hello there....I have a big problem withmy ubuntu. Yesterday it was lagging a lot, i am pretty sure due to the Xorg server. Today when i booted ubuntu it said something about hardware configuration was not working and i had possibilities of trying to create a new configuration...and some other options...but nothing seemed to work. Only solution was to reboot in windows. What is wrong with my ubuntu?
[08:08] <Hunt5> timfrost: sure i wil compare both and check
[08:08] <MorphyNOR> Real_Ubot: but if you have more than 3.5gb of ram you wont be able to utilize more than that on a i386 system
[08:08] <Real_Ubot> MorphyNOR: Ok, but will one be a better choice than the other?
[08:08] <MorphyNOR> ^^
[08:08] <Real_Ubot> Hunt5: I have 4GB of RAM.
[08:08] <Real_Ubot> Hunt5: Sorry, wrong person.
[08:09] <panepistimio> i really hope some of you guys can help me out
[08:09] <MorphyNOR> Real_Ubot: then you should probably consider the 64bit version
[08:09] <Real_Ubot> MorphyNOR: I have 4GB of RAM.
[08:09] <abeeky> hi,have Some people know why the virtual machine using the U disk copy file  is very slow!
[08:09] <Real_Ubot> MorphyNOR: Ok, will Ubuntu 32 bit nly handle at most 3.5GB?
[08:09] <Real_Ubot> *only
[08:09] <Mk3r> real_ubot, correct
[08:09] <MorphyNOR> Real_Ubot: you might want to consider running ubuntu virtualized
[08:09] <MorphyNOR> Real_Ubot: yes
[08:10] <panepistimio> anyone please?
[08:10] <Hunt5> timfrost: terrible my pc: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4a15c570
[08:10] <adamonline45_> !hi adamonline45_
[08:10] <MorphyNOR> panepistimio: any "lag" in windows?
[08:10] <coW_cr> hai
[08:11] <panepistimio> MorphyNOR: no, windows works just perfectly
[08:11] <dmbkiwi> anyone here know much about bash?
[08:11] <Hunt5> timfrost: are you there?
[08:11] <MorphyNOR> !question | dmbkiwi
[08:11] <panepistimio> MorphyNOR: btw. it said graphics hardware configuration, and not just hardware configuration
[08:11] <Hunt5> can anyone pls tell me what i can do to get gstreamer on my machine? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4a15c570
[08:11] <jovaxman> hi guys can someone helped me out
[08:12] <MorphyNOR> panepistimio: are you using compiz etc?
[08:12] <panepistimio> MorphyNOR: yes, using compiz
[08:12] <MorphyNOR> panepistimio: try to disable it, then see if you can switch your 3d driver
[08:12] <panepistimio> MorphyNOR: but i couldnt even log in tu ubuntu....it was before the login screenit came
[08:12] <MorphyNOR> oh... hmm
[08:13] <timfrost> Hunt5: that paste indicates that you are running the command in /usr/lib.  cd to your home directory then repeat the command.  (the shell is expanding the '*' characters).
[08:13] <dmbkiwi> I'm trying to run a bash script as sudo, which contains a "let" command.  However, if I run it with sudo (via cron), I get an error "11: let: not found".  I know that let is an internal command, but is there a way around this?  I simply want to do "let a=a+1".
[08:14] <panepistimio> MorphyNOR: any ideas?
[08:14] <MorphyNOR> panepistimio: read up
[08:14] <MorphyNOR> hmm sorry
[08:14] <panepistimio> MorphyNOR: yeah...but how do i disable it when i cannot even log in to ubuntu?
[08:15] <Hunt5> timfrost: sri@sri-laptop:~$ dpkg -l *gstreamer* |awk '/^ii /{print $2}'
[08:15] <Hunt5> No packages found matching gstreamer.
[08:15] <Captain_Haddock> panepistimio: can you get to the logon screen?
[08:15] <Real_Ubot> MorphyNOR: Why running Ubuntu virtualizeD?
[08:16] <panepistimio> Captain_Haddock: i did not seem like it....I have to reboot to check again because i only have this coputer here now
[08:16] <MorphyNOR> Real_Ubot: that way you dont have to dualboot, and you can run both OSs simultanously
[08:16] <panepistimio> Captain_Haddock: ill try again
[08:16] <panepistimio> brb
[08:17] <dmbkiwi> I'm trying to run a bash script as sudo, which contains a "let" command.  However, if I run it with sudo (via cron), I get an error "11: let: not found".  I know that let is an internal command, but is there a way around this?  I simply want to do "let a=a+1".
[08:18] <Noturno99> hello
[08:18] <Real_Ubot> MorphyNOR: Yeah, but then I will have less performance?
[08:18] <MASARUwota> !Hi|Noturno99
[08:18] <adamonline45_> Hmm, even without an smb.conf my samba gui config still says "Some lines couldn't be understood..." >.< What the heck am I doing wrong?
[08:18] <Noturno99> can somebody help me with my conection?
[08:18] <MorphyNOR> Real_Ubot: not necessarily
[08:19] <Real_Ubot> MorphyNOR: Why not dualboot? I want to use Ubuntu as default operating system but since the laptop has got WIndows 7 as default operating system I want to have it installed too.
[08:19] <MorphyNOR> dmbkiwi: try running it with full path
[08:19] <alienpulse> hello i am from lebanon ,, and i wonder if i can join lebanese linux group :P
[08:19] <Noturno99> I configure one conection with 'pppoeconf', that I wanna remove it now, how can i do this?
[08:19] <timfrost> Hunt5: is there a file (or directory) named gstreamer in your home directory?  If so, the shell is again expanding the wildcards, and you need to use quotes ('*gstreamer*')
[08:19] <alienpulse> how ?
[08:19] <MASARUwota> !pppoe|Noturno99
[08:20] <Real_Ubot> MopI have always thought that virtualization would run two systems at the same time and that it would devide the performance so both will work at a "lower lever".
[08:20] <dmbkiwi> MorphyNOR: there is no path to "let" it's a built-in command, which is my problem.  It works fine in an interactive sudo shell (ie using sudo -i), but I can't get to an interactive shell from cron, or within  a bash script.
[08:20] <Real_Ubot> MorphyNOR: That was ment fotr you.
[08:20] <Real_Ubot> *for
[08:21] <MorphyNOR> Real_Ubot: what sort of work are you going to do on either OS?
[08:21] <MASARUwota> alienpulse: google for "lebanon linux" or something like that. i dont know the language so i cant be of any help
[08:21] <Noturno99> thanks, but how can I remove one pppoeadslo?
[08:22] <MASARUwota> Noturno99:in most cases, you can just type "poff" to stop the ADSL connection and unload the module.

[08:26] <dark> o.o
[08:26] <Noturno99> how can i see my pppoe conections?
[08:26] <dark> ?
[08:26] <elkawee> dezznut> losetup ?
[08:26] <dark> Noturno99, what about plog?
[08:26] <Dallyce> Yankee: Yep, got a #!/bin/bash in there.  I've also linked /bin/sh /bin/bash to avoid issues with dash anyway.
[08:26] <dark> Noturno99, in the terminal
[08:26] <Noturno99> yes
[08:27] <Real_Ubot> You are much into Virtualization. Why? I have a rather slow processor in the computer, won't that the possibility to run Ubuntu virtualized?
[08:27] <Noturno99> i can see my pppoe conections
[08:27] <Noturno99> because e did some configurations that i wanna remove
[08:27] <dark> Noturno99, /etc/ppp
[08:27] <Noturno99> i configure 2 times the same conections
[08:27] <Noturno99> now i wanna remove all
[08:27] <dark> Noturno99, what about running sudo pppoeconf ?
[08:27] <dark> it will fix it
[08:27] <dezznut> elkawee> will that create additional /dev/loop?
[08:27] <Noturno99> i do this
[08:28] <Noturno99> now, i wanna remove it
[08:28] <Noturno99> remove the conection
[08:28] <dark> Noturno99, there is no problem in configuring twice
[08:28] <Diverdude> I managed to log into ubuntu in low- graphics mode. This is the error message that appears when i log on: "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. The following error was encountered. you may need to update your configuration to solve this.  (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist,0) (EE) No drivers available"  Now that I am in ubuntu it is again very laggy...But this is probably due to the fact that it is running in low graphics mo
[08:28] <Diverdude> de. Should i somehow reinstall the nvidia driver?
[08:28] <dark> hmmmmm.
[08:28] <MorphyNOR> Real_Ubot: it as only a suggestion :)
[08:28] <dark> Noturno99, a brutal approach would be sudo rm -r /etc/ppp/* (it removes also the dial up configuration)
[08:28] <Noturno99> but it conects always my computer on
[08:28] <Noturno99> ok
[08:28] <Noturno99> let me see
[08:29] <Real_Ubot> MorphyNOR: Well, but what benefits and disadvantages will I suffer running it virtualized instead of as dualboot?
[08:29] <dark> Noturno99, you can change this with pppoeconf, without needing to remove the prior configuration
[08:29] <Noturno99> hum
[08:29] <timfrost> Diverdude: That should help
[08:29] <dark> it is one of the last questions
[08:29] <Noturno99> the pppoeconf can use to remove?
[08:29] <dark> "should pppoeconf be started on the book"
[08:29] <Diverdude> timfrost, how do i do that?
[08:30] <dark> it can remove pppoeconf from the boot process
[08:30] <MorphyNOR> Real_Ubot: benefits, no dualbooting, easier to install, drawbacks: more load
[08:30] <Noturno99> hum
[08:30] <Noturno99> how can i do this?
[08:31] <Diverdude> timfrost, ??
[08:31] <timfrost> Diverdude: System->Administration->Hardware drivers (in Karmic)
[08:32] <Noturno99> just pppoeconf in the terminal?
[08:32] <dark> Real_Ubot, the more load refers mainly to 500mb or more of memory ram being used by the setup (and worse graphical performance)
[08:32] <dark> but for common applications, it is typically unnoticeable
[08:32] <dark> provided you have enough ram
[08:32] <devD> is there any tool to check how much machines are connected to my wireless network?
[08:32] <dark> Noturno99, sudo pppoeconf
[08:32] <nuker> hello how to add language pack ?
[08:32] <MorphyNOR> dark: he has 4gb, and probably a dualcore cpu
[08:32] <julien_BLUG> MASARUwota, I got it working running "xrandr --output VGA1 --primary" first and then by reopening the display manager and apply some changes
[08:33] <dark> Noturno99, it will ask username, password, some useless stuff (just press enter) then will ask if you want to connect it on startup
[08:33] <MorphyNOR> devD: connected to your router?
[08:33] <Noturno99> im my network: ifupdown eth1 e eth0
[08:33] <julien_BLUG> MASARUwota, seems that this "primary" option from xandr cannot be changed for a screen in the display manager though
[08:33] <Hunt5> timfrost: i wil do..
[08:33] <dark> Noturno99, you can connect manually by doing sudo pon dsl-provier (and sudo poff -a to disconnect)
[08:33] <devD> MorphyNOR, yes
[08:33] <Noturno99> why 2 conections?
[08:33] <Noturno99> oks
[08:33] <Noturno99> but i wanna remove it
[08:33] <dark> Noturno99, it's not 2 connections.
[08:33] <MorphyNOR> devD: you can probably find that out via the webinterface, however this is offtopic for this channel :)
[08:34] <dark> Noturno99, it's 2 ethernet ports
[08:34] <Noturno99> humm
[08:34] <dark> Noturno99, adsl connections are described as pppN in ifconfig
[08:34] <Noturno99> but i have just 1
[08:34] <Hunt5> timfrost: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m50c1da03
[08:34] <dark> Noturno99, it seems you have two, or one virtualized ethernet port
[08:34] <Noturno99> i don't understand because 2 ports
[08:34] <dark> Noturno99, do you have a dedicated ethernet card?
[08:35] <Noturno99> no
[08:35] <dezznut> Noturno99, are you talking about binding two nic cards into one or about ur dsl connection?
[08:35] <Noturno99> dsl conection
[08:35] <dark> Noturno99, so i don't know. but you can safely ignore this
[08:35] <dezznut> ppoe?
[08:35] <Noturno99> yes
[08:35] <dezznut> do you have a modem
[08:35] <Noturno99> i would like to remove all pppoe conections
[08:35] <dark> to end them: sudo poff -a
[08:35] <Noturno99> ok
[08:36] <dark> to remove any traces: sudo rm -r /etc/ppp/*
[08:36] <kingtiger01> hello all once again
[08:36] <timfrost> Diverdude: What I described is a path through the Ubuntu Gnome menus
[08:36] <dark> to just configure them to not start on startup: sudo pppoeconf
[08:36] <Noturno99>  No pppd is running.  None stopped.
[08:36] <dark> Noturno99, there is no adsl connection on your box.
[08:36] <dark> Noturno99, it is still connected to internet?
[08:37] <dark> maybe your modem is acting as a router
[08:37] <Noturno99> yes, by wireless
[08:37] <dark> okay. :)
[08:37] <dezznut> lol
[08:37] <dark> so i understand!
[08:37] <Noturno99> i'm on wireless now
[08:37] <dark> Noturno99, wireless cards are recognized by linux as ethN too
[08:37] <Noturno99> no, here wireless is : twifiu0
[08:38] <elkawee> my gnome-setup-daemon is consuming all X keyboard that deal with multimedia keys, the default music player works with them though , how does this ? work ? can this behavior be changed ?
[08:38] <dark> ... really? sorry
[08:38] <dezznut> Has anyone worked with autofs?
[08:38] <MorphyNOR> dark: can be wlan* also
[08:38] <timfrost> Hunt5: try running the following: sudo apt-get install --reinstall `dpkg -l '*gstreamer*' |awk '/^ii /{print $2}'`
[08:39] <dezznut> Noturno99, in terminal type ifconfig /all
[08:39] <Noturno99> what is ifupdown (eth1 e eth0)??
[08:39] <dura> can anyone show me how to install ubuntu alternate using unitbootin?
[08:39] <dezznut> turn eth0 on and off
[08:40] <[biabia]> Help? i have my screensaver set to activate and power options set to power display off minutes later, but neither event occurs now. Used to work before some updates last week
[08:41] <Noturno99> twifiu0   Link encap:Ethernet, pan0      Link encap:Etherne, lo        Link encap:Loopback Local  e eth0      Link encap:Ethernet
[08:41] <dezznut> are /dev/loops setup in the kernal or modules in ubuntu 9.10?
[08:41] <Hunt5> timfrost: can you pls explain me what difference did those single quotes make?
[08:42] <dura> can anyone guide me how to install ubuntu alternate using unitbootin?
[08:43] <Noturno99> what is pan0?
[08:45] <Noturno99> guys, thanks for you help
[08:45] <Noturno99> later I try this again
[08:46] <Noturno99> bye
[08:46] <timfrost> Hunt5: single quotes do two things: 1=tell the shell to NOT expand wild cards   2= present what is enclosed as a single parameter.   #1 is needed for the dpkg -l, and #2 is needed by awk, as it needs the script to be in a single parameter (or a file)
[08:46] <ociugi> how to find or locate a file in ubuntu
[08:47] <perscitus> What is correct way to merge two mp3 files with cat?
[08:47] <Guest10891> hello was wondering if someone can help me with a notebook and screen resolution problem?
[08:47] <sullest> whats the resolution problem :)?
[08:47] <sullest> anyone here is familiar with bash programming?
[08:47] <Hunt5> timfrost: wild cards means?
[08:48] <Guest10891> i have a hp nx6320 running 8.10 and can only get 1024x768
[08:48] <Hunt5> timfrost: running dpkg -l '*gstreamer*' |awk '/^ii /{print $2}' is finished
[08:49] <Guest10891> i have googled and keep getting to a dead end
[08:49] <lsdluna> Firefox won't open anymore - when I click on firefox, it opens up the browser into what seems to be a tablet shaped/sized box, which when expanded is an empty window. I can't search for the problem...since I now don't have a browser lol?
[08:50] <Guest10891> its a intel 945gm chipset
[08:50] <Hunt5> timfrost: what do i need to check now?
[08:51] <stage2> anyone know the application , that will embed or make a borderless terminla embedded in ur wallpaper/desktop background
[08:51] <stage2> or at least it looks that way?
[08:52] <om26er> what are linux header?
[08:52] <om26er> is?
[08:53] <Real_Ubot> dark: Ok, but will it not use more battery to run one os inside another? Will it not shorten the battery time?
[08:54] <asa>  list
[08:54] <asa> ! list
[08:54] <nikolatesla> does anyone know where i can get a Gkismet package already made for Hardy
[08:55] <Diverdude> How do i see who is the owner of a file?
[08:55] <ingerashu> hi everyone
[08:55] <om26er> !hi | ingerashu
[08:55] <ingerashu> i have a problem
[08:55] <reactor> guys wht is ibus?
[08:56] <ingerashu> for example, when i run vlc player in ubuntu 9.10, instead of showing me menus with correct font, it shows me stars,squares.....
[08:57] <Diverdude> How do i see who is the owner of a file?
[08:57] <dmbkiwi> Diverdude: ls -l
[08:57] <timfrost> Hunt5: characters that the shell (or other programs) interpret as meaning 'match any character' or 'match any sequence of characters' are referred to as 'wild card characters'.  The shell and the dpkg command use the '*' as a wild card character (it matches any sequence of characters)
[08:57] <Flannel> Diverdude: `ls -l /path/to/file` and then it's the third (fourth?) column (first one that's text instead of symbols/etc)
[08:57] <ingerashu> anyone knows the solution?
[08:58] <Diverdude> hmm i see
[08:58] <Deathspike> Does anyone know how to completely disable GNOME from starting on Ubuntu Server 9.10?
[08:59] <Hunt5> timfrost: ok thank you. so what do i need to do next?
[08:59] <faileas> Deathspike: er.. remove gdm i suppose. why does server even have gnome installed tho?
[09:00] <Flannel> Deathspike, faileas: just stop GDM from starting at boot would be enough.
[09:00] <Flannel> !bum | Deathspike
[09:01] <faileas> Flannel: hence the er. i don't understand why a server would have it installed to start with ;p
[09:01] <om26er> what are kernel headers for?
[09:02] <faileas> om26er: for when you need to compile drivers
[09:02] <lsdluna> Firefox won't open anymore - when I click on firefox, it opens up the browser into what seems to be a tablet shaped/sized box, which when expanded is an empty window. I can't search for the problem...since I now don't have a browser lol?
[09:02] <Deathspike> Flannel: I tried BUM and removed GNOME but it still re-appears each time I boot.
[09:03] <Flannel> Deathspike: You want to remove GDM, not gnome
[09:03] <om26er> faileas, ok
[09:03] <Deathspike> Flannel: Only MySQL and Apache are left enabled, GDM is disabled as well. :(
[09:04] <Guest10891> quit
[09:05] <timfrost> Hunt5: did you try running the reiinstall command: sudo apt-get install --reinstall `dpkg -l '*gstreamer*' |awk '/^ii /{print $2}'`
[09:05] <Deathspike> Flannel: I tried removing it from each run level using sysv-rc-conf, removing using update-rc.d and using BUM but for some reason it still re-appears. Anything you can think of?
[09:06] <adamonline45_> How come with a nearly stock smb.conf testparm gives me so many 'unknown parameters'? http://pastebin.com/m299c25de
[09:06] <Flannel> Deathspike: Nope.  Check out the folders themselves and poke around to see what's up.  That's all I can think of
[09:07] <Hunt5> timfrost: i ran:  sudo apt-get install --reinstall `dpkg -l '*gstreamer*' |awk '/^ii /{print $2}'`
[09:07] <Hunt5> timfrost: the same command u gave me previously
[09:07] <Deathspike> Flannel: I checked each rc#.d, no entries are there. It re-appears in init.d, but that shouldn't be deleted AFAIK. No custom start up scripts, services disabled using BUM.
[09:07] <Deathspike> I'm lost :P
[09:08] <Flannel> Deathspike: Which version of Ubuntu is this?
[09:08] <Deathspike> Flannel: Ubuntu server 9.10 with gnome added
[09:08] <Flannel> Deathspike: Hmm, You might be fighting with upstart (which I'm unfamiliar with how far it's transitioned, etc)
[09:08] <timfrost> Hunt5: how much output was there from that? And are the library files back in /usr/lib?
[09:09] <Deathspike> Flannel: 8.04 LST doesn't have this issue? I can always switch.
[09:09] <Deathspike> LTS*

[09:12] <ardchoille> !grub2 | sabgenton
[09:14] <mneptok> !ask > Mehran
[09:15] <xpo0f> sabgenton_: you should look for grub.cfg
[09:15] <Falcons_roost> ? Nvidia driver install
[09:15] <xpo0f> or maybe edit in /etc/dafault/grub
[09:15] <xpo0f> and then update-grub
[09:16] <NooB4Fun> does anyone own a dell 1545? do u find it easy to install ubuntu on it?
[09:16] <xpo0f> NooB4Fun: what problem to install it ?
[09:16] <sabgenton_> xpo0f: thank
[09:16] <Falcons_roost> ask Nvidia
[09:17] <NooB4Fun> like the drivers?
[09:17] <sabgenton_> xpo0f: what do i set to make the boot menu apear on start up?
[09:17] <Falcons_roost> yes
[09:17] <Falcons_roost> I need the instructions
[09:17] <NooB4Fun> coz i've talk some people they're gettin problems on the gfx card for the 3D desktop
[09:17] <nuker> what is nvidia driver ?
[09:17] <xpo0f> sabgenton_: where do you install gruB ?
[09:17] <Falcons_roost> Third party software for hardware
[09:17] <sabgenton_> xpo0f: is that  bash script i see in the  config
[09:17] <sabgenton_> ?
[09:18] <Falcons_roost> I want the bot
[09:18] <powertool08> classy
[09:18] <adamonline45> Whoah, wait, testparm -V says i'm using samba 4 alpha!  Could this lead to many testparm errors on a basically default smb.conf?  Also, can anyone read me?  I don't even know what a direct response looks like on this new client! :O
[09:18] <nuker> how to install nvidia driver how can i do it ?
[09:18] <timfrost> Hunt5: That output indicates that everything was re-installed correctly.   Is that an exclamation (!) or a pipe(vertical bar) symbol (|) in the gst-launch command lines?  You need the pipe character: gst-launch v4l2src | ffmpegcolorspace | ximagesink
[09:19] <sabgenton_> xpo0f: the normal place
[09:19] <Hunt5> ya gstreamer usage i know as i worked, ! is the pipe for gstreamer
[09:19] <nuker> lulz let me google it :)))
[09:19] <sabgenton_>  /boot
[09:19] <xpo0f> install in mbr
[09:19] <ardchoille> !nvidia | nuker
[09:19] <Hunt5> timfrost: but my gstreamer still doesn't work
[09:19] <sabgenton_> xpo0f: it is

[09:20] <sabgenton_> xpo0f: I just want to acivate its boot menu
[09:20] <timfrost> Hunt5: in that case, I can't help any more, because I don't use gstreamer :(

[09:24] <Xfact> Ubuntu Karmic is not stable, after running the Update manager I don't know why for any dgm problem, my desktop started with a <username>@ubuntu:~$ and my monitor,  CUP box light, keyboard and mouse lights was flickering constantly...It pissed me of for some moment :(  (like a horror story!)
[09:25] <sabgenton_> what you edit there will be automaticly imported into grub.cfg
[09:25] <APERSON> sabgenton, only on a kernel update or if you run update-grub manually
[09:25] <infoclog> xpo0f: what does this mean - service gdm start ? how
[09:25] <xpo0f> sabgenton_: you should edit it on /etc/default/grub and do update-grub

[09:31] <Mehran> hello

[09:31] <APERSON> guntbert, you can share a connection with just an ethernet cable and I can share files over samba fine
[09:31] <Proxima> do i type ubuntu as a username as well as a password?

[09:36] <howdeep> APERSON, yes
[09:36] <jgcampbell300> wonder if windows can connect to ubuntu
[09:36] <narretgrez> so i made the mistake of upgrading my chromium in ubuntu, which turned out to have a start up bug.
[09:36] <quintin_> jgcampbell300: wtf, I'm not going to google for you.  google for yourself.
[09:36] <narretgrez> is there anyway to quickly revert to the older version?
[09:36] <APERSON> howdeep, is it alright if you get logged out?
[09:36] <narretgrez> or is it very complicated?
[09:36] <narretgrez> linux noob here
[09:37] <quintin_> jgcampbell300: yes, using vnc, x11, ssh, nomachine, or whatever
[09:37] <howdeep> APERSON, sure, i guess so
[09:37] <jgcampbell300> ok ty i guess ill start my search with vnc
[09:37] <[biabia]> Help? i have my screensaver set to activate and power options set to power display off minutes later, but neither event occurs now. Used to work before some updates last week
[09:37] <quintin_> narretgrez: I'm not sure what chromium is, but downgrading is usually kind of hard
[09:37] <Hunt5> timfrost: so as far as ubuntu packages are concerned, are they uncorrupted by now in my machine?
[09:37] <jgcampbell300> thanks for the help
[09:37] <narretgrez> quintin_ NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[09:37] <mikebeecham> good morning....can anyone tell my, since upgrading to Jaunty, all my SMB shares are now listed twice in nautilus and 'Places'?
[09:38] <quintin_> mikebeecham: dunno.  check /etc/samba/smb.conf ?
[09:38] <isym> somebody know problem with dual linux boot in grub menu
[09:38] <quintin_> isym: works fine
[09:38] <isym> i mean
[09:38] <isym> there is two kernels
[09:38] <isym> an .........14
[09:38] <timfrost> Hunt5: that is correct.
[09:38] <isym> and ..........16
[09:39] <isym> can i remove 14
[09:39] <isym> somehow
[09:39] <[biabia]> i choose the most recent kernel typically
[09:39] <mikebeecham> quintin_: nahhh...it was fine on Karmic
[09:39] <[biabia]> it might not be a good idea to delete the previous kernel in case you ever have trouble booting
[09:39] <Hunt5> timfrost: i am just running grep -rn " libgstcoreelements" . in my home directory, i dont see anything
[09:39] <quintin_> mikebeecham: and now it's not?  so... look at config file to make sure it's not that
[09:39] <mikebeecham> quintin_: sorry, it was fine on Jaunty, but went weird on Karmic
[09:40] <umang> Hi, anyone willing to help me solve a problem I have with pbuilder? I'm getting a "E: pbuilder-satisfydepends failed."
[09:40] <howdeep> APERSON, that didn't seem to help
[09:40] <howdeep> APERSON, it has been this way since i used fullscreen mode in vlc movie player
[09:41] <quintin_> mikebeecham: did you check your config file yet?
[09:41] <chipgeri> which is the first file accessed from /etc  directory while booting?
[09:41] <mikebeecham> quintin_: looking, but as a linux noob I'm working through it slowly :D
[09:42] <Tutattis> hi . when i create a user besides root, does this user take space in my hdd?

[09:44] <APERSON> howdeep, can you see if xfce4-panel is running?
[09:44] <guntbert> !away > jasonjang
[09:45] <timfrost> isym: yes.  Once you have booted and are running the new kernel, you can use synaptic (or the command line tools) to remove the older kernel package
[09:45] <howdeep> APERSON, how do i check running processes?
[09:45] <howdeep> APERSON,  never done that before
[09:45] <jasonjang> i'm so sorry! i C.
which is the first file accessed from /etc  directory while booting?
[09:46] <Hunt5> can any one pls tell em what is this? /usr/lib32/gstreamer-0.10/libgstcoreelements.so	ia32-libs [not i386]

[09:46] <mikebeecham> ok quintin_I've looked, but dont really know what I should be looking at or checking.  I wouldn't know if something is incorrect or not.  Nothing is duplicated in there, I can tell you that
[09:47] <APERSON> howdeep, alt+f2 > xfce4-terminal
[09:48] <howdeep> APERSON, okay, what command will show me processes?
[09:49] <APERSON> howdeep, ps aux | grep xfce4-panel
[09:49] <timfrost> Hunt5: what files are in the directory .gstreamer-0.10?
[09:50] <nmvictor> i am finally upgrading to karmic, enough of jaunty
[09:50] <Hunt5> .gstreamer-0.10 in home? or /usr/lib
[09:50] <APERSON> howdeep, if you only see one entry, then it isn't running
[09:50] <Hunt5> sri@sri-laptop:~/.gstreamer-0.10$ ls
[09:50] <Hunt5> registry.i486.bin  registry.i686.bin

[09:53] <actripsix> where can i find help for a general irc question?
[09:53] <guntbert> actripsix: ask in #freenode
[09:53] <APERSON> howdeep, if it doesn't return after a restart/login, you may have to add that to your startup programs
[09:53] <Xfact> !theme
[09:53] <weecol> hey to the freenode crew
[09:53] <guntbert> actripsix: ^^

[09:54] <coldfire> hi when i play music on banshee my processor reach 54% why ?
[09:56] <APERSON> howdeep, that's beyond me then.  you could try to restart alsa: gksu service alsa-utils restart
[09:56] <sint> hey, i've did an update and it failed in about 30% (while processing) with an error. i've figured out what it was and fixed it. but now it it's ignoring the other 70% of the update. it tells me the system is already up to date, which i doubt! is there a way to find out whats missing?

[10:04] <kraut> glxgears is an easy and fast way to benchmark

[10:05] <xpo0f> base in intel performance in jaunty in ubuntu forum
[10:05] <Slart> paulb: I don't think the volume control isn't a panel applet.. I think it's a normal app
[10:06] <NET||abuse> guntbert, thanks :)
[10:06] <Slart> paulb: sorry.. "I don't think the volume control is a panel applet"
[10:06] <kraut> xpo0f: as i said, it's just a fast way, nothing more
[10:06] <xpo0f> kraut: okay
[10:06] <paulb> Slart Ive been through the sound options as well and I cant find a way to add it back.
[10:07] <poi77> Hi! I need to compile a huge number of latex files. pdflatex *.tex only does the first one. Is there an easy way?
[10:07] <Slart> paulb: what happens if you run "gnome-volume-control" in a terminal?
[10:08] <legend2440> paulb: right click the panel choose add to panel  choose  Notification Area
[10:08] <jgcampbell300> hmm do i have to be loged on at both machines to use vnc ?
[10:08] <plustax> I have 32 bit 9.10. But I have a 64bit capable system. Anyway to upgrade without losing everything I have?
[10:08] <Slart> poi77: you might be able to use "find" .. it would do it a bit differently
  I get the sound preferences window opening.
[10:09] <poi77> Slart: what is find? From the places menu? I'm confused, sorry
[10:09]  * Claudiu__ is away: Away fo now .. 
[10:09] <Slart> poi77: it's a console command.. very useful..
[10:09] <plustax> Anyone know?
[10:09] <Slart> poi77: I'll get right back to you.. just a sec
[10:10] <legend2440> paulb: right click the panel choose add to panel  choose  Notification Area reboot may be necessary
[10:10] <poi77> Slart: No problem---thanks for your help!
[10:10] <plustax> I have 32 bit 9.10. But I have a 64bit capable system. Anyway to upgrade without losing everything I have?
[10:10] <Slart> paulb: it doesn't make the little volume control thingy appear again? try what legend2440 suggested too
[10:10] <Slart> plustax: I don't think you can do a in place upgrade from 32bit to 64bit, no
[10:11] <plustax> slart are there any advantages of 64 bit over 32?
[10:11] <cemc> the 'Keep Aligned' option on the GNOME desktop doesn't see to stick
[10:11] <faLUCE>  hi. do you know any good mini-itx based product with ubuntu and a DVI video output?
[10:11] <paulb> legend2440: Slart:  Ok Ill try that. back in a min.
[10:11] <cemc> after re-login it still is checked
[10:11] <cemc> any other way to disable it ?
[10:12] <Slart> poi77: ok.. when you run pdflatex *.tex   I think bash remakes that into    pdflatex file1.tex file2.tex file3.tex and so on.. if pdflatex isn't ready for this it might not do all the files
[10:12] <stevie> Does somebody know anything about network sharing (samba) between windows and linux
[10:12] <poi77> Slart: I see. How can find help
[10:12] <plustax> stevie how much space are you looking for as far as network sharing goes?
[10:12] <Slart> poi77:  find works a little differently.. you tell find what kinds of files you're looking for and it will run pdflatex file1.tex.. then pdflatex file2.tex  and so on.. this might work better
[10:13] <stevie> I just want to se others given files on the network.
[10:13] <Slart> poi77: so..open a terminal.. use "cd" to go to the folder with the tex files
[10:13] <poi77> Slart: ok
[10:14] <jgcampbell300> omg theres alot of info on remote desktop
[10:15] <stevie> plustax i can't find anybody on the network..
[10:15] <paulb> legend2440: Slart: Ok Im back and it added my ethernet connectionto the panel.

[10:16] <paulb> legend2440: Slart: Ok Im back and it added my ethernet connectionto the panel.
[10:16] <plustax> stevie im not sure to be honest
[10:16] <plustax> thank you APERSON
[10:16] <Slart> poi77: then try this   find ./      this should list all the files, including subfolders, in the current folder
[10:16] <legend2440> paulb: no volume icon?
[10:16] <Slart> poi77: it will just print them out for now.. we'll change that later
[10:16] <paulb> legend2440: Slart:  didnt mean to send twice.
[10:16] <poi77> Slart: that's correct
[10:16] <poi77> Slart: I see that
[10:16] <paulb> legend2440: Slart:  No No volume icon
[10:17] <Slart> poi77: ok.. we now add a condition for which files we want to see..      find ./ -iname '*.tex'      the -iname switch means that the pattern has to match.. this is not case sensitive.. there is a -name switch that is case sensitive if we want that
[10:17] <Jordan_U> sabgenton_: Hold shift at boot

Anyways, when I try and "read DVD table of contents", I get an error message telling me it failed. the log says "lsdvd failed", as if there just isn't a drive there or something.

[10:19] <Slart> poi77: good.. now we add another switch to make find execute a command on each file instead of just printing it out..     find ./ -iname '*.tex' -exec pdflatex {} +    should do it.. {} will be replaced by the filename..

 are u female ?
[10:28] <rolo> ikonia: I think it does
[10:28] <Slart> rolo: the site is open and working... run firefox from a terminal.. it's probably just crashing
[10:28] <grayhane> tolkad, it did not work for me
[10:28] <ikonia> rolo: ok - so the problem is firefox, not the site
[10:28] <grayhane> rolo I am not sure , they are in court at the moment

[10:29] <debian-nuker> hello bluetooth is not turning on :(((
[10:29] <rolo> slart: it opens up finely
[10:29] <debian-nuker> how to turn on ?
[10:29] <Slart> rolo: so it works now? even for pirate bay?
[10:29] <rolo> I reinstalled the package from synaptic and nothing changed

[10:29] <mkulke> hello i have an issue with using compiz: i use multiple desktops alot, and when i have the pidgin buddy list open on some desktop i can't seem to get it to my active desktop. i always have to "search" for it on the other desktops and close it there. anyone knows a way around this?
[10:30] <Slart> rolo: what happens if you go there when you launch firefox from the terminal?
[10:30] <sinan> i am running karmic, and having trouble accessing a mobile over obex. All the instructions i found reference a "gnome-obex-server", which I don't have nor can find in the repo. Also, I don't get the upper right icon for bluetooth, although I was able to couple the device from the System menu. Any ideas?
[10:30] <Slart> mkulke: can't you set it to be a "widget" or whatever it's called.. so it appears on all desktops?
[10:30] <rolo> slart: the same thing
[10:30] <debian-nuker> it works :D sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
[10:31] <Slart> rolo: and what do you get in the terminal window?
[10:31] <chadi> oCean_ I don't mind modifying the source code myself if that's possible, and legal...
[10:31] <rolo> the thing is that if I click on some link before it stops, it doesn't terminate
[10:31] <Hunt5> tim-: tim__b: are you there?
[10:31] <tim__b> hmm?
[10:32] <rolo> wait a minute
[10:32] <plustax> apanda i clicked on the sh and it doesnt run
[10:32] <plustax> any idea apanda ?
[10:32] <mkulke> Slart: how would i make pidgin a widget? i use the ubuntu mail-thingie in the top bar, where also evolution and empathy is located
[10:32] <rolo> segmentation fault
[10:32] <oCean_> chadi: even if there's already an option?
[10:33] <Hunt5> tim__b: did you change your nick from this timfrost by any chance?
[10:33] <rolo> slart: segmentation fault
[10:33] <Slart> mkulke: there is a setting somewhere... I think it was in pidgin somewhere.. or in the compiz configuration thingy.. let me check
[10:33] <tim__b> no, Hunt5. always have been tim__b, always will be tim__b
[10:33] <Hunt5> gr8
[10:33] <chadi> oCean_ I just want to know if it is possible, and if it is, where are the source files located :) I will use the workarounds i find, however.
[10:33] <apanda> plustax it doesnt run is a very good error description. there is an #assaultcube channel on quakenet tho
[10:34] <Slart> rolo: not a lot we can do about those.. something on that site makes firefox crash.. it might be a plugin or firefox itself.. if it was on my computer I would do a clean reinstall, ie a purge and then install

[10:39] <ustun_> hi, can someone enlighten me on the way font antialiasing works? As far as I understand, there is .fonts.conf , then there are individual font settings for Gnome, XFCE and KDE (or do they just modify .fonts.conf), then there are .Xresources. I am confused as to which setting is used when. To add more confusion, some terminal programs have an option to antialias fonts. Help?
[10:39] <ustun_> And then there is dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config too
[10:40] <ustun_> And then there is some info regarding BCI which is not enabled by default, however this seems rather obsolete as far as I understand

[10:53] <ustun__> Hi, I have a problem regarding how font appearance works under Ubuntu. I have written a detailed explanation of the issue here at http://superuser.com/questions/93070/demystifying-font-appearance-on-linux-the-proper-way Could you help me understand how font settings are evaluated in Ubuntu.

[10:57] <kajo> what does "libdvdread: Can't seek to block 2581936" in response to lsdvd?

[11:00] <marcin199> hey, how to show installed repositories (apt-get) ?
[11:01] <isolat3dsh33p> marcin199, the easiest way is to look at your source list.
[11:01] <Xfact> is there any commands to check DNS settings? or I should use WinShark?
[11:01] <marcin199> isolat3dsh33p, where i can find it?
[11:01] <Daughain> quintin_: I'm working out how to edit a karamba theme for my system.
[11:01] <Hunt5> guys, when i install from synaptic, where do the .so files get stored?
[11:01] <quintin_> plustax: why do you want to change the port it listens on?
[11:02] <isolat3dsh33p> marcin199, System->Admin->Software Source
[11:02] <ustun_> Xfact, how fast does it respond when you ping a site?
[11:02] <Slart> Daughain: nload is usefull for short term stuff.. you could also look at cactii for a nice web gui with charts and whatnot.. takes some effort to setup though
[11:02] <marcin199> isolat3dsh33p, thx
[11:02] <isolat3dsh33p> marcin199, np ;)
[11:02] <Daughain> quintin_:  Its an older theme, so I am needing to update it. I'm trying to locate the commands that can be used in term to pull up the desired info.
[11:02] <Slart> Hunt5: I don't think there is a one specific folder for .so files.. try searching for them.. or check in the info for the package in synaptic.. I think there's a filelist there

[11:04] <Crash2108> Hello, friends.  What do I tell my dad to do with his computer so I have it in place to SSH into it?/
[11:04] <Jordan_U> isolat3dsh33p: Failsafe gnome mostly just disables anything set to run in System > Preferences > Startup Applications
[11:04] <Slart> Crash2108: that would depend on a lot of things.. your dad is running ubuntu?
[11:05] <Bonghetto> !list
[11:05] <cemc> where can I find xsri ?
[11:05] <Xfact> ustun_: really slow like for 'www.facebook.com' it's taking time 351 ms average....but in normal it takes maximum 168 ms in my connection :(
[11:05] <Crash2108> Yes, I thought that would be assumed being that I'm in the Ubuntu IRC.
[11:05] <sint> hey, i've did an update and it failed in about 30% (while processing) with an error. i've figured out what it was and fixed it. but now it it's ignoring the other 70% of the update. it tells me the system is already up to date, which i doubt! is there a way to find out whats missing?
[11:05] <isolat3dsh33p> Jordan_U, thanks. :)
[11:05] <faileas> Crash2108: install openSSH-server to start. if he has a router, he will need to forward port 22. and you need his ip address - the global one - not the local one
[11:05] <Jordan_U> isolat3dsh33p: np :)
[11:05] <ustun__> Xfact, could you try Google DNS? 8.8.8.8
[11:06] <quintin_> Daughain: no idea, I don't do that kind of stuff
[11:06] <Daughain> quintin_:  Ok, thanks.
[11:06] <sazwqa> anybody knows a goot mysql client ?
[11:06] <sazwqa> *good
[11:06] <Slart> cemc: I didn't find it in any of the packages in the ubuntu repos.. perhaps it's available from somewhere else
[11:06] <Crash2108> faileas, Do not Unix systems have SSH built in?
[11:06] <Xfact>  ustun__:  every time network tools freezing before fetching ....
[11:06] <faileas> sazwqa: i use phpmyadmin
[11:07] <faileas> Crash2108: nope.
[11:07] <sazwqa> faileas: anything not web based ?
[11:07] <iflema> Hunt5: the downloaded packages are kept here /var/cache/apt/archives
[11:07] <Jordan_U> sint: If "sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" completes sucessfully ( without complaining about packages being held back ), then you should be completely up to date
[11:07] <faileas> sazwqa: well, nothing i use then. i've only used the default cli client and the web client
[11:08] <sazwqa> faileas: thanks. i got few options in ubuntu software center, will try them first
[11:08] <sint> Jordan_U: it haven't updated anything :(
[11:08] <Jordan_U> Crash2108: Ubuntu comes with ssh client but not server by default, by policy they have very few services listenting on any ports in a default install
[11:08] <sint> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded
[11:09] <Jordan_U> sint: Then it seems you are up to date, what makes you think otherwise?
[11:10] <Xfact> ustun__: can you tell me where to add dns number in junty/karmic?
[11:10] <isolat3dsh33p> wow, the source.list has changed? There's sources.list.d now? since when?
[11:10] <sint> Jordan_U: when updating, it first downloads the packages and then processes them. while processing it failed at ~30% with mpd package and canceled there. thats why i think its not finished.
[11:11] <sint>  * Starting Music Player Daemon mpd                                             config: unrecognized parameter in config file at line 74: group
[11:11] <sint> Aborted
[11:11] <oCean_> isolat3dsh33p: sources.list is still there. The sources.list.d directory just provides a way to add sources.list entries in separate files
[11:12] <ustun__> Xfact, Right click the network icon, then "Edit Connections", then Wired/Wireless depending on your configuration, then Edit ...
[11:12] <sint> Jordan_U: i fixed the mpd problem, but i don't know if its finished with the other packages
[11:12] <isolat3dsh33p> oCean_, I know, if I remember correctly, source.list is just a text file and you edit it to add new repo. I didn't realize the change till today. :/
[11:13] <unknownworlds> how can a mount the raw partitions on a lvm2 (the program scans the lv and makes them access. through /dev/"lv"/"lvname"X ; where X is the part. on the raw lv device)?
[11:13] <oCean_> isolat3dsh33p: there is no change
[11:13] <[psyk]> so gais, muh ubuntu is handlin RAM badleh, wut duz i doez?
[11:13] <Xfact> ustun__: can you tell me google dns is static or dynamic type dns?
[11:14] <Slart> !english | [psyk]
[11:14] <ustun__> what does that mean?
[11:14] <ustun__> its ip is static
[11:14] <isolat3dsh33p> oCean_, I remember adding "deb repo_url" to the end of a file not long ago to add new repo. :/
[11:14] <Jordan_U> sint: If you run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" it will finish the installation of any partially configure packages, sometimes with no output at all. Did you ever run that command and have it run for more than a second ( i.e. not just exit immediately )?
[11:15] <oCean_> isolat3dsh33p: and the /etc/apt/sources.list file is still there.
[11:15] <yo_rmn> hello
[11:15] <SameerAsal> Hello , can some body help me , I made a partial for my 9,04 machine which resulted in an unbootable system , I am logging in ( Live Linux) and used chroot to work on my unbootable system to compelete the upgrade but it is not connecting to the internet , any help ?
[11:15] <yo_rmn> i hav a problem with kde panels
[11:16] <isolat3dsh33p> oCean_, my bad, actually it can be edited using gedit. LOL. But double click will give a gui dialog. ^.^;
[11:16] <yo_rmn> I hav KK (U) but I just installed kubuntu-desktop
[11:17] <yo_rmn> and my panelsdon't work right
[11:17] <Guest6116> rf
[11:17] <oCean_> isolat3dsh33p: aha. Hardly using any gui tools here, so I did not realize
[11:19] <isolat3dsh33p> oCean_, gui is the devil. LOL
[11:19] <sint> Jordan_U: no i never ever run this command before. i usually use the synaptics to update and most of the time it works. the command was quickly finished. probably everything IS finished. not sure .. it was just strange that the update canceled in synaptics at about 30%
[11:20] <hiren> i want to access remote browser with GUI ! is there any command to access browser remotely in LAN ?????
[11:20] <Tidy> to any1 running VirtualBox on Karmic.. with Vista as Guest... How the hell did ya get Vista to pick up your USB Drives?
[11:20] <Jordan_U> sint: You are completely up to date, sinaptic probably configured the rest of the packages automatically when you tried to perform some other operation since they were pending
[11:20] <Slart> hiren: you can use ssh to run the browser remotely.. or vnc to access the entire desktop
[11:20] <sint> Jordan_U: ok than. thanks allot!! :)
[11:20] <Jordan_U> sint: np :)
[11:21] <Slart> hiren: setup ssh on the "host" then use ssh -x <ip-number of host> firefox from the client
[11:21] <SameerAsal> Hello , can some body help me , I made a partial for my 9,04 machine which resulted in an unbootable system , I am logging in ( Live Linux) and used chroot to work on my unbootable system to compelete the upgrade but it is not connecting to the internet , any help ?
[11:21] <hiren> ok
[11:21] <hiren> thanks slart
[11:22] <Slart> hiren: you can run any command using ssh like this.. not just firefox
[11:22] <chadi> small question guys: I did a purge to nvidia-*, then downloaded the nvidia drivers from nvidia's and installed them to get compiz to work. Everything worked fine until I upgraded the kernel today morning. It started in low graphics mode. What to do?
[11:22] <iflema> Tidy: VirtualBox OSE does not. virtualbox.org has a slightly different version... ose is open source version
[11:23] <Slart> hiren: if it just shows you a "local" version of firefox instead of opening a new one you might have to use the command "firefox -no-remote" instead of just "firefox"
[11:23] <Slart> chadi: download and install the driver again
[11:23] <Slart> chadi: reboot and select the older kernel version to get back to your regular desktop
[11:23] <chadi> Slart: was purging nvidia-* a bad step?
[11:24] <Hunt5> I am on ubuntu9.04, how can i upgrade to 9.10?
[11:24] <Slart> chadi: nope.. it's just that the package system takes care of these things for you.. when you install your own kernel driver you have to do it yourself
[11:24] <Slart> !upgrade | Hunt5
[11:25] <chadi> Slart thank you... I'll do that then :)
[11:25] <hiren> "no display specified"
[11:25] <hiren> this error
[11:25] <faileas> lol. i had the ssh/firefox issue myself a few days back
[11:25] <eM_> I need to run a executable when the commuter gets connected to a network, is there a easy way to do this, or to i have to write a loop that checks if it is connected or not?
[11:25] <Slart> hiren: hmm.. let me check
[11:25] <hiren> ok
[11:26] <joaopinto> eM_, you can develop an hot plug script, but I am not sure how, I just know it can be done
[11:26] <sint> hiren: you need to ssh with -X to the server machine to get firefox working over ssh
[11:26] <hiren> i didnt get
[11:26] <nmvictor> i made a mistake, no sound in ubuntu after upgrading to karmic, anyone ever experienced thsis?
[11:26] <hiren> i do the same thing
[11:27] <Slart> hiren: ah.. capital -X  not lower case -x
[11:27] <sint> with -X not -x
[11:27] <sint> -x disables X support
[11:27] <hiren> ahhh
[11:27] <hiren> its working

[11:30] <melvincv> anything like automatic repair?
[11:31] <gaelfx> do the nVidia drivers play well with LED TVs or should I stick to an LCD TV for my HDMI output?
[11:31] <sint> melvincv: don't think so. would be a great feature :D
[11:31] <misterB> I am putting together a custom live cd and I want to disable the shutdown/logoff timer by default. Anyone know how to disable said time from the terminal?

[11:31] <wolfey> Slart: dont care myself, i can choose kernel from grub list
[11:32] <melvincv> how do i suggest this auto repair 'n system restore feature to the ubuntu developers?
[11:32] <Slart> wolfey: this is a user to user support channel.. write a mail to canonical and complain.. this isn't the place to rant about it
[11:32] <wolfey> Slart: ok :D
[11:32] <wolfey> Slart: well i guess they read logs
[11:32] <wolfey> or they..should
[11:32] <gaelfx> or are LED's too new for anyone here to have an answer?
[11:32] <Slart> wolfey: I wouldn't count on it.. report a bug for it if you want it noticed
[11:32] <Hunt5> what is ppa?

[11:34] <Slart> wolfey: haven't seen any questions about it so far, check to see if there is a bug report on it
[11:34] <gaelfx> Slart: well, as far as I know, LED's have a higher refresh rate compared to LCD's, but I could be wrong
[11:35] <sint> melvincv: i would suggest to use the forums for suggestions
[11:35] <melvincv> !developers
[11:35] <nmvictor> is their a way to start a dist upgrade from the terminal?
[11:35] <melvincv> developer
[11:35] <melvincv> !developer
[11:36] <Slart> gaelfx: hmm.. that might make a small difference, true.. nothing in the forums?
[11:36] <Slart> nmvictor:   sudo apt-get dist-upgrade    should work
[11:36] <Hunt5> how is getting a tarball and installing different from git clone and install??

[11:37] <sHarpp> Hello, I am having trouble with the setup of my KVM (Sweex) switch. My display resolution is not using the correct size and I can't select my prefered size in the nvidia config. I tried several suggestions obtained by googling with success. Anyone with experience?
[11:37] <sint> melvincv: i doubt there is a wishlist
[11:37] <sint> ;)
[11:37] <sHarpp> without success

[11:38] <melvincv> well, ubuntu has a long way to go...
[11:38] <gaelfx> melvincv: I believe the wishlist is either on Launchpad or the main site
[11:38] <sint> melvincv: ya, but what system has autorepair build in?
[11:38] <sint> windows? :D
[11:38] <nmvictor> anyone know why the terminal is usaally faster in fetching packages from the internet, as compared to synaptic and UM?
[11:39] <nmvictor> :)
[11:39] <gaelfx> sint: I believe that would be most biological systems consisting of more than one cell ;)
[11:39] <Slart> gaelfx: bah.. couldn't find anything useful when I tried searching.. just lots of unrelated stuff..
[11:39] <melvincv> only on xp, i guess.
[11:39] <gaelfx> Slart: no worries, thanks for tryin
[11:39] <melvincv> how bout auto repair on Vista or win 7?
[11:39] <sint> gaelfx: sure, but i mean operating systems ;)

[11:41] <hiren> in remote access
[11:41] <Slart> herin: hmm.. could you explain a bit more? I don't understand what you mean
[11:41] <kajo> Anyone wanna help me rip a DVD?
[11:42] <popey> tunix: depends what the requirements are
[11:42] <melvincv> hmm... how bout ubuntu brainstorm???
[11:42] <Tiders> kajo,  Acidrip
[11:42] <hiren> wait
[11:42] <eM_> I need to run a executable when the commuter gets connected to a network, is there a easy way to do this, or to i have to write a loop that checks if it is connected or not?
[11:42] <hiren> i am sending you a pastie

[11:42] <melvincv> kajo: dvdrip
[11:42] <tunix> popey: Just fooling arround with virtualization. Web Server reqs in mind...
[11:42] <popey> tunix: desktop or server (i.e. does the machine have a GUI)?
[11:42] <sint> melvincv: most of the time, something is broke on my system its not about the programm itself its just a something in the configs. so you could delete the config and build on from the package again. but then you'll have the defaults again
[11:42] <kajo> melvincv, dvdrip is returning this error: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1375659
[11:43] <Tiders> kajo, Give Acidrip a try maybe then
[11:43] <kajo> Tiders, I'll try acidrip, then.
[11:43] <tunix> popey:  server, headless
[11:43] <hiren> slert : http://www.pastie.org/771379
[11:43] <Slart> eM_: isn't there a way to put a script in some folder somewhere?
[11:43] <popey> tunix: personally I'd use kvm then, assuming the server supports VT
[11:43] <kajo> though, tiders, is lsdvd won't work, acidrip probably won't work either.
[11:43] <melvincv> k
[11:43] <eM_> Slart, that's what i'm looking for, but what folder would that be?
[11:44] <Tiders> kajo, Oh I didnt look at the error xD
[11:44] <Jordan_U> eM_: What does the script do?
[11:44] <hiren> slert :http://www.pastie.org/771379
[11:44] <tunix> popey: Yes I tend to go for kvm.. I like linux as a hypervisor. How about xen integration and support in ubuntu?
[11:44] <popey> eM_: / Slart http://blog.abdullahsolutions.com/2009/03/starting-script-after-networkmanager.html
[11:44] <kajo> tiders, any idea what to do about that? why would lsdvd fail?
[11:44] <popey> tunix: not great
[11:44] <Tiders> kajo, Do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras
[11:44] <tunix> popey: alright. thank you very much for your answers!

[11:45] <Slart> herin: perhaps firefox crashed.. try ssh'ing normally and run "pkill -9 firefox" then try again
[11:45] <Jordan_U> eM_: Network manager can change routes and connect to vpns when you connect to certain networks, without needing to create a script
[11:45] <hiren> slert :nope
[11:45] <hiren> one time its working
[11:46] <melvincv> no idea:)

[11:46] <misterB> anyone know how do disable the logoff/shutdown timer for a custom livecd?
[11:47] <Tiders> kajo, So Ubuntu is not recognising the DVD at all? Not even mounting it?
[11:47] <osse> I have a fresh 9.10 install. If I install the radeonhd driver from Synaptic, will ut automatically be used or do I have to do some configuration? It supports my video card.
[11:47] <Slart> herin: ah.. I get that too if I try to do it twice.. why not try File, New Window in the already running firefox
[11:47] <kajo> tiders, no the dvd is mounted and playable, actually.
[11:47] <Tiders> kajo, Thats odd
[11:47] <Slart> herin: that should give you a new firefox window
[11:47] <Tiders> kajo, Let me scroll up and see that error message
[11:47] <hiren> how ?
[11:48] <hiren> slart :how it is possible ?
[11:49] <Slart> hiren: open one firefox window.. then click on the "File" menu in that window.. select "New Window"

[11:49] <Darkedge> Can someone tell me a Native-Linux-GBA-Emulator that supports cheats codes?
[11:50] <Tiders> kajo, That error to me honestly looks like a bad disk its reading bad blocks so its skipping it
[11:50] <hiren> slart : but when remotely someone is using firefox then how we can open it ????
[11:50] <Slart> hiren:  I have no idea
[11:50] <hiren> i have to tell that person that open a new window
[11:50] <Hunt5> can any one explain me a bit abt ppa files?

[11:50] <kajo> tiders, let me restart my computer. It's not a great DVD drive, but I was just watching parts of this dvd to make sure it worked a couple hours ago. :\
[11:50] <gaelfx> ok, I'll try it this way: does the NVidia driver utility have a place I can change the refresh rate for the display, or is that all done automatically?
[11:50] <kajo> brb
[11:50] <hiren> slart :any other way ?
[11:50] <Tiders> kajo, For the sake of troubleshooting could you put in a DVD that you know works?
[11:50] <Slart> hiren: perhaps there is a way.. some kind of switch.. or setting.. but I don't know it
[11:51] <ChogyDan> Hunt5: there should be instructions on the page
[11:51] <hiren> ok
[11:51] <hiren> thanks

[11:51] <Tiders> Thom1, Aptitude is a front end for apt
[11:52] <Tiders> Thom1, To graphical install and uninstall
[11:52] <Tiders> Thom1, Graphically, pardon
[11:52] <ChogyDan> Thom1: apt-get and aptitude do the same thing

[12:28] <Slart> Xfact: this might be very card model specific.. anyways.. if I open the pulseaudio volume control and go to the "Configuration" tab I can change the profile of the card.. for my SB Audigy I can select 5.1 analog, analog stereo output/analog mono input and so on.. perhaps try some of those settings
[12:28] <_scavenger_> Xaero252: There isn't some kind of 'export' menu item?
[12:28] <helper> _scavenger_ thx =)
[12:29] <Xaero252> _scavenger: not that I can see
[12:29] <pavel_> I can not start GImp: it says: error while loading shared libraries: libbabl-0.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, however, libbabl is installed
[12:29] <iflema> helper: under the System menu / administration / log file viewer
[12:29] <Curly_Q> Greetings! Has anyone here ever tried to use a PCI SATA/IDE card? The main question is: If the card is present, will the Bios see it as a Primary/Secondary/Tertiary card for boot and will the PCI card work as a Master/Slave unit?
[12:29] <Slart> dutchie: not sure if this is the same problem you're having.. might be worth a read through though http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=421931
[12:30] <happy> Curly_Q: it will see it as another master/slave unit
[12:30] <Curly_Q> Happy have you tried it?
[12:30] <Xfact> Slart: My card is from realtek, in windows I had realtek sound manager to choose my jack easily in graphical way, but in linux it just referring me to use alsa :(
[12:30] <Curly_Q> Thanks though for the answer.
[12:30] <Leoneof`> iflema: how to clear all logs files?
[12:30] <happy> Curly_Q: I have a sata card
[12:30] <Curly_Q> I see.
[12:31] <happy> Curly_Q: Although, be careful
[12:31] <Curly_Q> Why?
[12:31] <iflema> Leoneof`: why 4?
[12:31] <happy> Curly_Q: My card became the FIRST card on one computer I put it in (sda1)
[12:31] <Slart> Xfact: mm.. I'm not very good with alsa.. you might be able to do it by editing some config file.. you could try asking in #alsa but that channel is very sleepy most of the time
[12:31] <Curly_Q> I see. SCSI ?
[12:32] <happy> Curly_Q: this confused the OS until I did some re working
[12:32] <happy> Curly_Q: no SATA
[12:32] <happy> Curly_Q: no, it is SATA
[12:32] <dutchie> Slart: doesn't seem particularly relevant. FWIW, I get a pretty similar error with mplayer
[12:32] <floating> Hey, is it possible to get pcmanfm up to date on ubuntu repos ? http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/pcmanfm  On karmic for example it is having the pcman 0.5.1 which for example doesn't yet support "always open this type of files with this" in the GUI, which came in the latter version. I guess 0.5.1 is some 2008 version
[12:33] <Curly_Q> Well the PCI extension slot card has two SATA as well as one IDE slot.
[12:33] <Curly_Q> Also two external SATA slots.
[12:33] <Xfact> Slart: in karmic where is alsa and where is paulseaudio...it just showing 'analog srround 5.1 output, digital sorround out put etc...' in hardware profile section
[12:33] <Leoneof`> iflema: just curious
[12:34] <Curly_Q> I have to stand by. My wife is calling me.
[12:34] <happy> Curly_Q: It will probably count as 6 drives... lol
[12:34] <Slart> dutchie: I just searched for the "invalid ifo" error.. there were lots of hits but nothing that really seemed to be the same as you're experiencing
[12:34] <iflema> Leoneof`: they are important... not massive and ever-growing... best to forget until ya need em
[12:35] <Slart> Xfact: and those different profiles don't change anything?
[12:35] <Leoneof`> iflema: i see, i thought these logs can grow its size everyday
[12:36] <iflema> Leoneof`: yes.. but they compress and rotate and whatever... not a problem by any means
[12:36] <iflema> Leoneof`: like i said dont delete them... you might need em
[12:37] <Xfact>  Slart: no in sound preference 'hardware' tab under internal audio it showing maximum 1 output/1 input  with all profiles... but it should have shown 2 outputs :(
[12:37] <Leoneof`> iflema: ok  thank you ^_^
[12:38] <surf> hi how can I patch libv4l to fix my webcam? I have already this: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36154071/add_USBID_064e_a136_for_Asus_UL30.diff
[12:38] <Slart> Xfact: it might be something realtek does in its driver.. I'm not really sure how to replicate that in linux, sorry
[12:39] <Leoneof`> iflema: do you know about VGA problems?
[12:39] <happy> surf: ubottu probably has a guide on applying patches
[12:39] <happy> !patch | surf
[12:40] <Xfact> slart: well thank for showing interest and trying...but one last basic question...all over current preference will not harm my sound card...right? What you think?
[12:40] <happy> surf: nope. I will look for a good guide
[12:40] <iflema> Leoneof`:  miniaml... nvidia yeah
[12:40] <Tidy> sudo what /folder/file to open an edit a file? any1?
[12:40] <Slart> Xfact: no.. I don't think your preferences/settings can harm your soundcard in any way
[12:40] <denny> Tidy: vi / emacs / nano / pico / joe
[12:41] <Xfact> slart: thanks :)
[12:41] <Slart> Tidy: gksudo gedit /your/file
[12:41] <denny> I like joe, but they've all got their quirks

[12:41] <iflema> Leoneof`:  ok
[12:41] <Baribal> Hi. I just finished dist-upgrading to 9.10 (I think) and... My cdrom vanished. No appropriate /dev/sd* anymore (sdc0 it was, I think).
[12:41] <Salmon> ?
[12:41] <Slart> Tidy: even better is sudoedit
[12:41] <denny> ooh
[12:41] <denny> didn't know that existed  :)  what's it do, load the default editor for root?
[12:41] <erUSUL> Baribal: it was s*c*d0 or sr0
[12:41] <Slart> Xfact: you're welcome.. hope you get it figured out
[12:41] <Tidy> cheers slart.. alot to learn with this feckin linux haha
[12:41] <Baribal> erUSUL, scd0, yes.
[12:42] <Slart> denny: it makes a copy of the file.. edits the copy in your regular editor as your regular user and then copies it back using sudo
[12:42] <denny> swish
[12:42] <iflema> Leoneof`:  under the system menu /administration /hardware drivers what if anything does it say?
[12:42] <erUSUL> Baribal: see dmesg output « dmesg | grep ata »
[12:43] <happy> surf, I can not find a very good guide out there. Pretty much you need to download the source it needs to be applied to and then use the patch command
[12:43] <iflema> Leoneof`:  oh.. thats on the page allready
[12:43] <Xfact> Slart: no I will do trick on my hardware...as it taking only one jack...I will add a '2subway out jack' in that jack and I'll plug in my headphone and sub woofer...in that 2 sub jack...problem solved :)
[12:43] <Slart> Xfact: yay =)
[12:44] <Leoneof`> iflema: after that.. i installed many drivers though, need to uninstall them?

[12:57] <Xfact> I would consider Karmic as 'still a beta version' it's cool but has some major flaws and bugs :(
[12:57] <erUSUL> Baribal: but anyway, report it as kernel bug. if the drive works in older kernels should work on a newer one
[12:58] <Baribal> erUSUL, no, nothing like that, no sr0, and no /dev/sr0 either.

[13:05] <x0rz> clear
[13:05] <jrib> swiftarrow: what do you mean by "pdf separations"?
[13:06] <Curly_Q> Swiftarrow try Open Office.
[13:06] <swiftarrow> jrib:pdf files have four channels: C M Y and K.  I need to view these four separately.
[13:06] <davidm2010> hi to all, I am trying to figure out why my Apache, SQL, etc will not auto start up after a reboot? If anyone could point me to a good info site.
[13:06] <jrib> swiftarrow: I see now.  I don't know of such a program though
[13:06] <swiftarrow> jrib, in the printing industry, it's called "ripping" the pdf, or viewing the separations
[13:07] <Leoneof`> iflema_: visual effects is: None, is that what u want to know?
[13:07] <swiftarrow> Curly_Q, OO,org is a different purpose, thanks for trying.
[13:07] <swiftarrow> jrib, that's ok
[13:07] <swiftarrow> Anyone else? :)
[13:08] <Curly_Q> Swiftarrow, you would be surprised what Open Office can do. I use it for many obsolete Windows programs and it is the only thing that will do the separation of pages.
[13:08] <iflema_> Leoneof`: you said earlier that you have install many different types? do you have a wide selection of screen resolutions to choose from
[13:08] <Curly_Q> I haven't tried it with PDF, however, experiment.

[13:31] <Salmon> is it unmuted and turned up?
[13:31] <davidm2010> psychomog: Thanks, that was what I was looking for.

[13:32] <airtonix> pranav_, stop
[13:32] <jrib> pranav_: I'm sure it did work, it probably just didn't do what you expected.  What did you want it to do?
[13:32] <swiftarrow> Pici, is there a way to view color channels in inkscape?  I can't find one.
[13:32] <nmvictor> pranav_: man rm,
[13:32] <Pici> swiftarrow: I don't know, I was just guessing, sorry.
[13:32] <airtonix> swiftarrow, not that i'm aware of
[13:32] <allinone> I have an ATI Radeon 9200SE (RV280) graphics card; after a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 I have no 'radeon' driver loaded, WHY? When I do a 'lsmod | grep radeon' I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/353463/, something is wrong because in the line with radeon there should be at least 1
[13:33] <pranav_> jrib, delete all files with extension .exe recursively
[13:33] <jrib> pranav_: rm --interactive **/*.exe
[13:33] <airtonix> swiftarrow, unless you feel like using the extensions (which will modfiy the images)
[13:33] <swiftarrow> Pici, airtonix oh ok.
[13:33] <jrib> pranav_: or use find
[13:33] <pranav_> jrib, is that regular expression
[13:33] <swiftarrow> airtonix, I'm looking for a way to view separate CMKY channels in pdfs
[13:33] <jrib> pranav_: no, it's a glob
[13:34] <pranav_> jrib, where can I find help on writing that form of expression
[13:34] <airtonix> swiftarrow, you can open pdfs in inkscape?
[13:34] <jrib> pranav_: see "globstar" in « man bash »
[13:34] <swiftarrow> you can import single pages.
[13:34] <jofo> Hello. I've got a Samsung CLP-310 printer. Until now, I've only used it with Windows. I didn't need the driver which accompanied the printer, it was already available in Windows Vista. Now, I’d like to use that printer (Samsung CLP-310) with Linux Ubuntu Karmic Koala.
[13:34] <pranav_> jrib, thanks :)
[13:34] <jofo> When I try, It only prints five lines: “SPL-C ERROR - Please use the proper driver     POSITION : 0x0 (0)     SYSTEM   : src/xl_image     LINE     : 606     VERSION  : SPL-C 5.35 11-20-2007”
[13:34] <jofo> The big problem is I don’t remember where I put the printer’s CD.
[13:34] <swiftarrow> airtonix, you can import single pages, but that's not ideal.  And I can't find a way to view separate color channels
[13:34] <jofo> The big problem is I don’t remember where I put the printer’s CD.
[13:35] <airtonix> swiftarrow, ok i see now ( i just tried dragg n drop )
[13:35] <OerHeks> allinone use ' lspci | grep -i radeon '
[13:36] <airtonix> swiftarrow, since the images are imported as bitmap you'll need to use another program first to disect the pdf (possibly then find another program to deal with cmyk, i know gimp can deal with cmyk now)
[13:36] <allinone> DerHeks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/353468/
[13:36] <Silex> what's the status of xen and ubuntu 9.10? I went do-release-upgrade on a xen server (gandi.net) and it failed miserably (meaning it worked but then didn't want to boot correctly anymore)
[13:36] <OerHeks> allinone looks oke
[13:36] <jofo> What should I do?
[13:36] <allinone> OerHeks: I know. But the module is not loaded.
[13:37] <swiftarrow> airtonix, gimp does cmyk now?!?  great!  But back to my problem: actually, I'd love to just get a pdf ripper program...  can't find one anywhere though :(
[13:37] <allinone> OerHeks:  glxinfo | grep renderer gives : OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
[13:37] <rayno> Dear all - I need some assistance in changing the date format on my ubuntu server right through the system to dd/MM/yyyy please?
[13:38] <airtonix> swiftarrow, tried pdfedit ?
[13:39] <erUSUL> rayno: that depends on the locale settings
[13:39] <allinone> OerHeks: can you look at the modules list and tell if something is wrong : http://paste.ubuntu.com/353470/ (output of lsmod)
[13:39] <swiftarrow> yes.  I couldn't find a separation tool there either, though maybe I didn't try hard enough...
[13:39] <Hodapp> PDF "ripper" program?
[13:39] <Hodapp> Just what are you ripping from the PDF?
[13:39] <rayno> erUSUL: Can I pvt you please?
[13:39] <airtonix> swiftarrow, i just used gimp to import a page from the ubuntuguide pdf
[13:39] <jrib> pranav_: actually I'm not sure what globstar does, but the relevant part of the manual is the globbing section on "*".  It talks about the meaning of "two adjacent *s"
[13:40] <swiftarrow> airtonix, can you see cmyk channels?
[13:40] <erUSUL> rayno: better to stay on channel. what locale do you use in the server?
[13:40] <swiftarrow> Hodapp, I want to ripp the CMYK channels
[13:40] <allinone> OerHeks: I think it has something to do with amd64_agp and agpgart. One of them must go out.. a conflict or something..
[13:40] <Hodapp> What for?
[13:41] <swiftarrow> Hodapp, for proofing it before I send it to the press.
[13:41] <OerHeks> allinone that is over my hat, sorry
[13:41] <airtonix> swiftarrow, no be cause idont have the cmyk plugin (but i think the image gets imported as rgb anyway)
[13:41] <erUSUL> rayno: do « echo $LANG »
[13:41] <airtonix> swiftarrow, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CMYK_support_in_The_GIMP
[13:41] <allinone> ok
[13:41] <swiftarrow> airtonix, pdfedit doesn't have it.  I'm sure now.
[13:42] <swiftarrow> airtonix, ok, I'll look at that.  Thanks!

I've been googling for a while, and can't figure it out.  Even setting a passwd on the account fails :(  Any pointers?
[13:43] <floating> jrib: I think this one package should be updated on at least karmic repos. pcmanfm that is. It is coming with lxde for example. The version in karmic repos (0.5.1) lacks one important feature for example :/

[13:44] <Xfact> can anybody explain what is 'cups' and is it important for system?
[13:44] <jrib> floating: I doubt it would get updated for karmic because of a feature missing, but you can discuss the policy more in #ubuntu-motu or #ubuntu-bugs I suppose
[13:44] <swiftarrow> airtonix, cool, thanks
[13:45] <floating> ok tx
[13:45] <erUSUL> rayno: change the locale to the namibian one. that way date will display the date properly formated for your country (and all other programs too)
[13:45] <rayno> that's the thing - there is no locale for Namibia :(

[14:30] <oCean_> abli: rob_p correct, xinetd is used a lot in current distros
[14:30] <Guest1709> i'm trying to enable burn on open and minimize and explode on close but it's not working
[14:30] <laughyn1nj4> crap...the pain of not having coffee had outweighed my desire to get help with my video drivers on Ubuntu.  I must flee.
[14:30] <DocPlatypus> _cb: that could also be your problem, not set to output through the headphones
[14:31] <rob_p> abli: I use openbsd's implementation of Superserver on a couple of my servers for custom services.
[14:31] <OerHeks> JuJuBee_ download them manually from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts
[14:31] <oCean_> Ziber: nope: you suggested package identd, but that is something different then inetd
[14:31] <rob_p> oCean_: It may be installable and still maintained, but by default, it's not relied on by most current distros for common servers.
[14:32] <DocPlatypus> so nobody knows the mystery of the gparted "disappearing partitions" ?
[14:32] <Guest1709> i just started yesterday doc sorry
[14:32] <voltaplein> Hi -- I upgraded to Karmic and grub2.  However, every time I get a kernel update (happened again yesterday) I have to run grub-mkconfig manually.  It seems that the old grub legacy menu is getting updated but not the grub2 grub.cfg.  What should I do?
[14:32] <ilumi> DocPlatypus, try older/newer version
[14:32] <DocPlatypus> ilumi: will do
[14:33] <oCean_> rob_p: not inetd (the super server) indeed, but xinetd is, still for few services
[14:33] <scunizi> DocPlatypus: bad partition table? have you tried sudo fdisk -l for comparison?
[14:33] <rob_p> abli: The package name is openbsd-inetd.  If you want the conventional one, I think it's just xinetd.
[14:33] <DocPlatypus> scunizi: sudo fdisk -l  sees everything fine
[14:33]  * abli is installing xinetd
[14:34] <thafreak> Hi everyone, quick question, anyone know if the plain old live cd boots on intel macs?
[14:34] <thafreak> I don't have one to test with and I'd hate to say it will work without knowing
[14:34] <OerHeks> DocPlatypus did you start gparted from terminal with 'sudo Gparted ' ??
[14:34] <Pelo> thafreak, it should, you need the i386 version,  ie the regular one I beleive
[14:34] <petsounds> !compiz > Guest1709
[14:34]  * scunizi spent 4 hours getting his Brother mfc-7440n to print AND scan.. fax is still left.
[14:34] <Narc> Hello folks. Any idea on what can cause my left click to become unresponsive since I updated karmic a week or so ago ? Any help welcome, it's very crippling. Thanks.
[14:34] <DocPlatypus> OerHeks: from System/Administration menu
[14:34] <Pelo> thafreak,  I think you hold down C while booting on mac to boot from cd
[14:35] <thafreak> Pelo: thanks, that's what I thought...just wanted to hear some one else say it
[14:35] <DocPlatypus> I think I tried it with gksudo also, same result
[14:35] <mkjackson> hey folks, I'm wondering if there's an easy way to have Ubuntu disable my touchpad when I plug in my external mouse
[14:35] <OerHeks> DocPlatypus try from terminal with sudo
[14:35] <Pelo> thafreak, mind you I've never tried it
[14:35] <rob_p> oCean_: xinetd is not installed by default.  It *can* be installed and used for a variety of services but it's *not* relied on by default on an Ubuntu system.
[14:35] <oCean_> rob_p: you are right!
[14:35] <OerHeks> DocPlatypus same result .. strange
[14:36] <thafreak> Pelo: me either, but I see all these people with mac hardware running ubuntu, so I figured the live cd should work
[14:36] <Leon> hello
[14:37] <Pelo> wasn't that nice, he just dropped in to say hello
[14:37] <tay-family-linux> Hi...
[14:37] <DocPlatypus> OerHeks: "unrecognized disk label"
[14:37] <DocPlatypus> total b.s.
[14:37] <mkjackson> (I've already read about manual methods online but for some reason "synclient touchpadoff=1" doesn't stick...
[14:37] <tay-family-linux> recently I keep experiencing my mouse and keyboard keep 'hanging'
[14:37] <tay-family-linux> why is that so ?
[14:38] <tay-family-linux> sometimes, the entire mouse can move but cannot click ... and just recently, my keyboard can't type only until now'
[14:38] <Pelo> mkjackson, you probably need to put the line in a config file somwhere so it is loaded at boot , so to speak ,  not sure which , some init file somwherer in the /etc/ folder
[14:38] <Pelo> tay-family-linux, usb ?
[14:39] <thotheolh> usb ... for mouse
[14:39] <thotheolh> I am using a compaq hp laptop
[14:39] <Pelo> mkjackson, I don'T allow /msg , talk to me in channel
[14:39] <thotheolh> the keyboard is in-built to the laptop
[14:39] <mkjackson> Pelo: but I don't want it to disable the touchpad all the time, just when I plug a mouse into my laptop
[14:39] <DocPlatypus> I also get an "unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition
[14:40] <Pelo> thotheolh, if both had been usb I would have told you to try and plug them on seperate usb pairs but ...
[14:40] <Narc> Hello folks. Please, any idea on what can cause my left click to become unresponsive since I updated karmic a week or so ago ? I'm on a desktop computer, mouse works on Windows os, disabling Compiz changes nothing. Any help welcome, it's very crippling. Thanks.
[14:40] <Pelo> mkjackson, hmmm,  I'll look into udev events I think they are called,  bit over my head,  but does having the touchpad on realy interfeer with the mouse ?
[14:41] <newbuntu> i need help enabling burn and explode animations on xubuntu / compiz
[14:41] <scunizi> does xrandr also control the touchpad sensitivity of a laptop.??
[14:41] <thotheolh> I have both touch pad and usb mouse on now
[14:41] <thotheolh> and they are ok ...
[14:41] <soreau> newbuntu: You need to enable ccsm>Animations Add-on, then you can find the animations in the list in ccsm>Animations
[14:41] <thotheolh> the problem is when the jam occurs...both the usb and the touch mouse all don't work
[14:41] <mkjackson> Pelo: I can't begin to tell you how many times whole e-mails have been accidentally completely erased or other transfers accidentally cancelled because my palm just grazed the touchpad
[14:42] <Pelo> newbuntu, you need to install ccms or some such ,  and those aer realy intensive effects , you need a powerfull video card
[14:42] <om26er> newbuntu, xubuntu and ubuntu almost consume equal ram
[14:42] <om26er> (recources)
[14:42] <newbuntu> i have ati radeon 8500
[14:42] <mkjackson> Pelo: and to be honest, it's little nuances like these that make the new convert to Linux/Ubuntu (not I but my father for instance) get the impression that Windows is still somehow superior...
[14:43] <petsounds> newbuntu, open ccsm, navigate to effects > animations
[14:43] <Pelo> mkjackson, I beleive you, I was just wondering,  not something I've had to deal with , but like I said , look into udev rules I think they are called,  or do search on "events"
[14:43] <mkjackson> kk
[14:43] <DocPlatypus> I'm now asking in #parted as well since it affects the command line version too
[14:43] <newbuntu> ok i'm there but it's blank under window match
[14:44] <mkjackson> Pelo:  is there any way to bring this to the attention of the Ubuntu folks to try and correct this distribution wide?  honestly this would be a simple enough feature that many laptop users would much appreciate
[14:44] <Pelo> mkjackson, file a bug in launcpad
[14:44] <petsounds> newbuntu, in the open animation change glide2 to burn
[14:44] <Pelo> !bug > mkjackson
[14:45] <oCean_> thotheolh: maybe something useful in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205594? Seems that in post #9 is a working solution
[14:45] <OerHeks> mkjackson is there no option in your bios, to disable touchpad when external mouse is in use ?
[14:45] <mkjackson> OerHeks: I don't think that the BIOS would tell if it were a BT mouse
[14:46] <mkjackson> OerHeks: or for that matter a logitech wireless
[14:46] <OerHeks> mkjackson any usb or ps/2 mouse should be detected then
[14:46] <Pelo> thotheolh, look at your usb ports on your comp, on the back and on the front, they are usualy paired ,  plug your mouse and touchpad on seperate pairs , see ifthat helps
[14:47] <oCean_> mkjackson:  maybe something useful in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205594 ? Seems that in post #9 is a working solution
[14:47] <thotheolh> errr.... the touch pad is built right into the laptop
[14:47] <thotheolh> how do I handle that ?
[14:48] <mkjackson> Pelo:  I understand (as a developer myself) that a bug is more important than a usability feature but to a user sometimes there's little difference between the two (if the usability feature is causing enough grief, it is a bug)
[14:48] <TidyBhoy> i was on the forum the other day looking at a post about how to change resolution of my screen... but now i cant find it.. any1 got any ideas?
[14:48] <Narc> Hello folks, sorry to repeat: any idea on what can cause my left click to become unresponsive since I updated karmic a week or so ago ? I'm on a desktop computer, mouse works on Windows os, disabling Compiz changes nothing. Any help welcome, it's very crippling. Thanks.
[14:48] <thotheolh> The mouse (usb) is plugged into a usb port and I am not sure how it's connected
[14:48] <TidyBhoy> i need to change my tv res cause when i connect via hdmi i dramatically reduces the laptops resolution
[14:49] <Pelo> mkjackson, maybe I sent you the wrong trigger msg,  it was suppose to tell you how to file a bug with launchpad which I think is the correct place to let the dev know of this problem , I'M not trying to dismiss you , I understand the seriousness of the issue
[14:49] <soreau> Narc: Are you saying left click works from the start until after awhile of using your desktop or it never works from the beginning?
[14:49] <Pelo> nope that was the right one
[14:50] <mkjackson> OerHeks: this may be true but ps2/usb mice are certainly not the only option anymore... not for years and especially with the growing popularity of laptops and dwindling popularity of desktops
[14:50] <mkjackson> Pelo: thx
[14:50] <Narc> soreau: That's right, it works a little while, then depending of what I do, which program I start, it stops working. It's pretty random though. It's all or nothing.
[14:51] <Pelo> TidyBhoy, you probably need to run seperate X for the tv and laptop monitor so that they arenT' forced to the same resolution, ei the lowerone
[14:51] <TidyBhoy> what you mean by seperate x m8?
[14:51] <Pelo> TidyBhoy, what video card/chipset do you have ?
[14:52] <soreau> Narc: That is really strange.. if I were you I would try 1) A different mouse (despite the fact that it works ok in 'doze) 2) Asking in #hardware. Maybe they have some ideas. 3) ... probably a lot of other things depending on how frustrated I get ;)
[14:52] <TidyBhoy> ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
[14:52] <Pelo> TidyBhoy, basicaly your xorg.conf file will contain two sets of parameters, one for each monitor
[14:52] <Pelo> TidyBhoy, oo kkkk,  don'T know how to do it with that one
[14:53] <TidyBhoy> awww :(
[14:53] <pererik87atyoutu> ATI Mobility :S
[14:53] <Pelo> TidyBhoy, any graphical tools to setup the ati cards ?
[14:53] <Wavesonics> hols
[14:53] <Wavesonics> hola
[14:53] <TidyBhoy> catalist control centre
[14:53] <Narc> soreau: I tried a lot of things myself, I keep asking here, I posted on the forums, asked in #ubuntu-bug, reset the X server, disabled compiz, but nothing help.
[14:53] <TidyBhoy> all the resolution stuff is grey'd out in it tho
[14:54] <voltaplein> Hi -- I upgraded to Karmic and grub2.  However, every time I get a kernel update (happened again yesterday) I have to run grub-mkconfig manually.  It seems that the old grub legacy menu is getting updated but not the grub2 grub.cfg.  What should I do to enable auto-updating of grub.cfg upon kernel updates?
[14:54] <TidyBhoy> i changed the res with the consol the other day... by folowing this forum post i now cant find ha
[14:54] <Pelo> TidyBhoy, check for stuff refereing to sepreate monitor, or to disable stuff that talk of cloning a screen or something along those line
[14:54] <TidyBhoy> was hoping i could do the same for the tv..
[14:54] <Wavesonics> i just sent my server down for a reboot (shutdown -r now) remotely, and she didnt come back up :( I can ping her, but nothing is running apparently, like SSH
[14:54] <pererik87atyoutu> Never upgrade a operating system to another one
[14:54] <soreau> Narc: It sounds like a hardware and/or driver issue which is why I would try asking in #hardware or you might even find some help in ##linux
[14:54] <pererik87atyoutu> fresh install
[14:54] <TidyBhoy> ok... but i was to clone the screen?
[14:55] <master_> !list
[14:55] <thotheolh> I just got into another problem now...
[14:55] <soreau> Narc: BTW, does it help if you unplug/replug the mouse to the pc?
[14:55] <pererik87atyoutu> http://ati.amd.com/
[14:55] <Narc> soreau: But why working for years, and then suddenly doing this after an update... ? I'll try again with another mouse.
[14:55] <thotheolh> I am using Netbeans 6.7.1 doing some Java programming and next... the IDE just killed itself
[14:55] <thotheolh> and it happened twice consecutively
[14:55] <Narc> soreau: Didn't try, cause to me it looks like a software issue.
[14:56] <Pelo> thotheolh, to be honest i realy donT' feel confortable helping you with this,  I'M making too many guesses
[14:56] <thotheolh> ok ... thanks for your help anyway , Pelo
[14:56] <kinja-sheep> thotheolh: That's Java for you! (Kidding).
[14:57] <DocPlatypus> and I have not seen anything that would show there's a newer or older version of parted/gparted to install anyway
[14:57] <kneeskrap3r> sudormsys32, you have the best name ever
[14:57] <soreau> Narc: Well my mouse every once in a blue moon just quits working. Usually when I am playing a game. But repluggin it re-init's and fixes it
[14:57] <Aquaraptor> I've always heard Eclipse is supposed to be better than Netbeans
[14:57] <kneeskrap3r> Aquaraptor, it is by far
[14:57] <Aquaraptor> then why bother using the latter? Isn't Eclipse also free/foss?
[14:57] <Narc> soreau: Yes, but here my cursor keeps moving, the only thing is I can't click...
[14:58] <morpheus> ss
[14:58] <kneeskrap3r> Aquaraptor no idea
[14:58] <brontosaurusrex> what would be a tool to convert some xml to something else?
[14:58] <morpheus> hello
[14:58] <brontosaurusrex> for gnome preferably
[14:58] <kneeskrap3r> brontosaurusrex, like what?
[14:58] <brontosaurusrex> kneeskrap3r: subtitles
[14:58] <morpheus> Looking for kadu users
[14:58] <morpheus> :)
[14:59] <morpheus> need help
[14:59] <om26er> is there any way for evolution to minimize in indicator applet?
[14:59] <brontosaurusrex> header is <tt xml:lang="sl" ttp:frameRate="25">
[14:59] <kneeskrap3r> brontosaurusrex, I can't think of a tool off hand, but you could write a fairly basic app with PHP that could write the subtitles
[14:59] <Pelo> morpheus, that's no way to ask for help , just state the problem, and you absoluetly need ppl using the same prog look for a channel for that program
[15:00] <brontosaurusrex> kneeskrap3r: ok, so i guess my 1st stop should be tt xml standard? (if there is such...)
[15:00] <kinja-sheep> om26er: alltray -- Dock any program into the system tray.  Maybe?
[15:00] <Pelo> om26er, check in the plugins I think they added that , or it might just be an email notifier
[15:01] <om26er> Pelo, name?
[15:01] <kneeskrap3r> brontosaurusrex, not sure there is one, that tt tag is new to me...
[15:01] <Pelo> om26er, in the evolution options, somewhere in the edit menu , there is a listing for plugins
[15:01] <brontosaurusrex> kneeskrap3r: i think this is it http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/CR-ttaf1-dfxp-20061116/#example
[15:02] <dokuhebi> Where can I download the karmic bzip2 deb file directly?
[15:02] <Pelo> om26er, but if you just need something to check when you have emails I recommend  gnubiff , stand alone panel applet
[15:02] <dokuhebi> the actually installer for bzip2
[15:02] <Pelo> morpheus, I don'T allow private msg ,  talk to me in the channel
[15:02] <kinja-sheep> dokuhebi: Download an deb package?
[15:02] <kneeskrap3r> brontosaurusrex, ah okay... lemme check a few things in here...
[15:02] <dokuhebi> without using apt... yes
[15:02] <fjfalcon> Hello all, is there anyway to make pam.d look like new? (something like apt-get purge pam, apt-get intall pam? )
[15:03] <pererik87atyoutu> dockbook2odf in software center should be able to something. but depends on what you need
[15:03] <om26er> Pelo, evolution do notify me of any new emails but it cannot be minimized to tray/indicator-applet
[15:03] <Pelo> dokuhebi, check in firefox there is a search engine for packages ,   it links to   packages.ubuntu.com I think
[15:03] <kinja-sheep> dokuhebi: You don't want to use apt? You could obtain the deb packages at http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[15:03] <dokuhebi> that's it... thanks
[15:03] <brontosaurusrex> kneeskrap3r: is there some sort of xml renderer builtin php?
[15:03] <ravn> hi guys, how do I merge a directory structure into another from command line?
[15:04] <Pelo> om26er, with gnubiff you don't need to have evolution opened all tthe time , it will check your email accounts and let you know when something new comes in (bell, change of icon),  then you can open evolution and receive the full email
[15:05] <kneeskrap3r> brontosaurusrex, yes and no, in the Zend Framework yes; let me ask a question, are you looking for .srt subs?
[15:05]  * om26er is installing gnubiff
[15:05] <Pelo> ravn,   sudo cp -rf source dest ?
[15:05] <Pelo> om26er, I like it hope you do to
[15:06] <Pelo> om26er, you'll need to setup your accounts in it just as if it were a proper email client, you can even set it to launch evolution on double click
[15:06] <brontosaurusrex> kneeskrap3r: yes
[15:06] <kneeskrap3r> brontosaurusrex, http://sourceforge.net/projects/google2srt/
[15:06] <brontosaurusrex> kneeskrap3r: something that can be used to later burn directly into the video
[15:07] <kneeskrap3r> brontosaurusrex, I gotcha, that link looks promising
[15:07] <Ookami> guys, help plz
[15:07] <Pelo> Ookami, we can'T we don't know what the problem is
[15:08] <brontosaurusrex> kneeskrap3r: i know that one, but didnt work for me, ill try again, maybe this is update
[15:08] <ravn> Pelo: will hat not remove files already there?
[15:08] <brontosaurusrex> kneeskrap3r: ty

[15:09] <Pelo> ravn, doign the same thing with nautilus you would be asked if you wanted to overwrite identical filename , not sure what it would do in cli,  you might want to assk in ##linux

[15:11] <TidyBhoy> Thats so wierd.. sometimes it doesnt drop the resolution when i connect it!
[15:11] <Pelo> luist, didn'T know it did that , ok   gconf-editor ,  app> panel ,  possibly app> gnome > panel ,  look in there
[15:11] <ottotto> anybody happens to know how i can useradd a sudo able user with full admin rights?

[15:12] <Pelo> admin is probably more it yes
[15:12] <xpo0f> :)
[15:12] <brontosaurusrex> kneeskrap3r: yeah, same error, says: format not recognized.., but was worth the try
[15:12] <luist> nastas: no
[15:12] <Pelo> nastas, it's greyed out if you only have one pannel
[15:12] <ottotto> is admin group just enough?
[15:12] <brontosaurusrex> kneeskrap3r: ill php now ;)
[15:12] <jrib> ottotto: yes
[15:12] <_cb> Ubuntu 9.10 no sound on headphones. Headphones work on XP. Maxed Vol using screen icon. Did preferences->sound->hardware-->output & tried all options. Totem movie player shows playing in preferences->sound->applications. What else can I do?
[15:12] <ottotto> ok thanks
[15:12] <zkoo> ottotto: use adduser, it does stuff like create the home directory for you.  you can tell adduser what group they should be in when you create it (check the adduser manpage)
[15:12] <kneeskrap3r> brontosaurusrex, lol ok, are you a php coder lol?
[15:13] <nastas> luist: what aboud to hide it?
[15:13] <ottotto> ok thanks. hope this works with ssh then. :) for ssh i need this extra acount

[15:14] <Pelo> luist, try with auto hide or setting the size to 0
[15:14] <dokuhebi> ok... what is apt-get insisting on using a proxy?  I don't remember configuring an http proxy, and it's not working
[15:14] <nastas> luist: why?
[15:14] <jrib> dokuhebi: you didn't recently install anything related to proxies?
[15:14] <xpo0f> which one is the best ... kvm or virtualbox
[15:14]  * om26er- think size zero is the autohide size
[15:14] <luist> nastas: im using awm instead...
[15:14] <brontosaurusrex> kneeskrap3r: yes i know some php, but xml parser will go over my head probably
[15:15] <Pelo> luist, also in  > default_setup>toplevels
[15:15] <jrib> xpo0f: try both and use what works best for you, they're both good
[15:15] <om26er-> xpo0f, virtualbox
[15:15] <om26er-> !best | xpo0f
[15:15] <om26er-> better
[15:15] <dokuhebi> The only proxy stuff I did on this computer was to configure Chromium to use a proxy
[15:15] <Pelo> luist, even if I use a dock I like to have a panel available if I need it ,  just auto-hide it is my recommendation
[15:15] <xpo0f> owh yeah
[15:15] <xpo0f> kvm to0 slow

[15:16] <Pelo> om26er, you can have auto hide where most of the pannel retracts but leave a bit visible
[15:16] <Narc> Hello folks, sorry to repeat: any idea on what can cause my left click to become unresponsive since I updated karmic a week or so ago ? I'm on a desktop computer, mouse works on Windows os, disabling Compiz changes nothing. Any help welcome, it's very crippling. Thanks.
[15:16] <om26er-> k
[15:16] <xpo0f> Narc: better u apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:17] <voltaplein> Hi -- I upgraded to Karmic and grub2.  However, every time I get a kernel update (happened again yesterday) I have to run grub-mkconfig manually.  It seems that the old grub legacy menu is getting updated but not the grub2 grub.cfg.  What should I do to enable auto-updating of grub.cfg upon kernel updates?
[15:17] <kneeskrap3r> Narc, agree with xpo0f
[15:17] <Pelo> Ookam1, is the folder you are trying to access on a windows machine ?
[15:17] <xpo0f> voltaplein: suppose to be it auto when kernel updates :)
[15:17] <Narc> xpo0f, kneeskrap3r : Really, ok, why, is it because you think something updated badly ?
[15:17] <Ookam1> Pelo, yes
[15:17] <voltaplein> xpo0f: supposed to be, but it is not
[15:18] <_cb> Have USB headphones which work in XP and used to work in Ubuntu 9.04 but no sound in 9.10 Alsamixer only shows 00 for headphones but does not have a sliding bar. Is that the problem? How do I fix?
[15:18] <kneeskrap3r> Ookam1 you should try a pass on the sindows machine
[15:18] <canthus13> _cb: Ok. can you use the up arrow to turn it up?
[15:18] <Pelo> Ookam1, hmm,  if you put nothing for a password and just hit enter nothign happens ?
[15:18] <xpo0f> Narc: make sure u install the best and stable package for your GREAT ubuntu
[15:18] <kneeskrap3r> Ookam1 windows* I have had that issue, Windows doesn't like filesharing without pword
[15:18] <Pelo> !msg ubottu !samba
[15:18] <xpo0f> for sure with ubuntu commutity to0... im love with it
[15:18] <Ookam1> Pelo, nothing happens ,, it asks the same window again ^^
[15:18] <kneeskrap3r> Narc, probably if you have a standard model mouse
[15:18] <om26er-> !sound | _cb
[15:19] <Pelo> !samba > Ookam1 try reading this
[15:19] <ankit_babbar> some one here to help me with ldap
[15:19] <Pelo> Ookam1, I'm not all that clever with samba
[15:19] <Narc> kneeskrap3r: It's a trackball, but I never had any problem like this with it in years of ubuntu. And standard mouse do the same anyway.
[15:19] <Pelo> i'm out of here , later folks
[15:19] <kneeskrap3r> ankit_babbar, there might be, and I know a bit, but this is not the right spot for that...
[15:20] <ankit_babbar> where then should i go?
[15:20] <ankit_babbar> and plz help me a little
[15:20] <Ookam1> ok guys, how do i "make a password on that windows PC
[15:20] <xpo0f> better using system > administration > system testing
[15:20] <_cb> canthus13 the headphone looks different than all the others. It only shows a square around 00 and no sliding bar. Can't move volume up.
[15:21] <_cb> om26er- no volume control on my 9.10 install. There is a volume icon but does not give me an option to change to alsa
[15:22] <brontosaurusrex> kneeskrap3r: how about this? http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.simplexml-load-file.php
[15:22] <kneeskrap3r> Narc, I have to admit I have not ever had mouse troubles in any version of linux so I am not experience in the repair for it
[15:22] <brontosaurusrex> seems like it build an array in one jump...
[15:22] <xpo0f> !alsaconf
[15:22] <_cb> om26er- also read in google that 9.10 is using pulse (not sure if that impacts alsa information)
[15:22] <ankit_babbar> some one here to help me with ldap????????/
[15:22] <kneeskrap3r> Narc, althought give me a sec I hae been reading something...
[15:22] <tawd>  _cb> om26er- also read in google that 9.10 is using pulse (not sure if that impacts alsa information)
[15:22] <om26er-> tawd, ?
[15:22] <tawd> oops
[15:22] <kneeskrap3r> ankit_babbar, I asked what you needed help with...
[15:22] <Narc> kneeskrap3r: Thanks for answering anyway, nobody knows how to help me here or on the forums
[15:22] <mnass> todays security update does not load at my ubuntu 9.10 - XULRunner 1.9. seems not to be found
[15:23] <mnass> did it work for you?
[15:23] <tawd> om26er- trying a new chat client sorry
[15:23] <om26er-> tawd, :)
[15:23] <kneeskrap3r> Narc, some problems are very specific and people who haven't had them won't step forward to help troubleshoot, that is all I want to do lol
[15:23] <ankit_babbar> how to ssh using an ldap account
[15:23] <isolat3dsh33p> Narc, you can test your mouse using xev.
[15:24] <Narc> kneeskrap3r: Ah, I did that. Xev detects events from the mouse when it's working but when the bug appears, it's not detecting any.
[15:24] <kneeskrap3r> brontosaurusrex, that looks cool, but I have never used it... do it!
[15:25] <FernandoF> Dr_Willis good morning
[15:25] <ankit_babbar> kneeskrap3r?
[15:25] <FernandoF> good morning all
[15:25] <ankit_babbar> gm
[15:25] <McL0VIN> Good day folks
[15:25] <FernandoF> Dr_Willis  yesterday i reported a problem of losing access to my hard drives
[15:25] <FernandoF> Dr_Willis  do you remember?
[15:26] <kneeskrap3r> ankit_babbar, ? what. do. you. need. help. with. ?
[15:26] <Narc> isolat3dsh33p: Sorry, I answered to kneeskrap3r instead of you, please read my answer above
[15:26] <ankit_babbar> ssh with ldapaccount is it possible?
[15:26] <FernandoF> Dr_Willis  solution i got is to open drive first with Dolphin which bypasses the problem
[15:26] <ankit_babbar> what is the need of autofs with ldap ?
[15:26] <Narc> isolat3dsh33p: I tested it with Xev, it's not detecting any events when the bug appears with the click
[15:27] <McL0VIN> new to ubuntu, switching from Debian..... i just bought a PowerEdge860 srvr last night, can i install ubuntu on it even thu the server spec doesn't mention ubuntu as a supported OS
[15:27] <kneeskrap3r> ankit_babbar, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-configure-sshd-to-use-openldap-server.html
[15:27] <DocPlatypus> McL0VIN: probably. this computer didn't list Debian or Ubuntu as a supported OS. then again it came with Windows 98 :-)
[15:28] <ustunozgur_home> It amazes me that pulseaudio can serve each app separately, yet fails to serve audio to my headphones. What I can't pathom is that, when I can't get sound, how much does it matter if I can move sliders for each app separately?
[15:28] <_cb> ok come at this from a different angle. In Ubuntu 9.04 I could change sound streams. How do I do that in Ubuntu 9.10?
[15:28] <ankit_babbar> will try and one more thing -->autofs?
[15:28] <McL0VIN> DocPlatypus: well,  i have tried last night to boot from ubuntu 9.10 and it will not boot
[15:29] <DocPlatypus> McL0VIN: what happens?
[15:29] <isolat3dsh33p> Narc, I'm also not able to help you. :(
[15:29] <DocPlatypus> (and btw... the PC I'm talking about installed from the live CD even though they tell me the live CD install is supposed to require 384M... I did have to make a swap partition first)
[15:29] <Narc> isolat3dsh33p: It's ok, thanks a lot anyway
[15:29] <kneeskrap3r> ankit_babbar, it isn't required... to my knowledge.
[15:30] <ustunozgur_home> Why is ubuntu distributed with pulseaudio when it fails to provide the basic needs? Does anyone know how to make sound working through headphones?
[15:30] <ustunozgur_home> Solutions I have found so far: remove pulseaudio
[15:30] <McL0VIN> DocPlatypus: just asked me if i want to install or try a demo, i chose demo the it showed me ubuntu logo and kept reading from CD-Rom drive and HDD for 10 min nothing changed
[15:30] <DocPlatypus> ustunozgur_home: do you have a built-in soundcard? it may be set to play through that
[15:30] <brontosaurusrex> kneeskrap3r: well, way over my head, ill find a coder i guess....
[15:30] <kneeskrap3r> brontosaurusrex, how important of a project is this?
[15:30] <ustunozgur_home> DocPlatypus, it is builtin, when I plugin my headphones, sound fails, but the playback continues.
[15:31] <guntbert> McL0VIN: did you !md5sum check the iso?
[15:31] <kneeskrap3r> brontosaurusrex, I am actually a Zend programmer by trade lol
[15:31] <ustunozgur_home> when I unplug, sound comes from the speakers.
[15:31] <ustunozgur_home> It is a laptop btw.
[15:31] <isolat3dsh33p> Narc, it's just the left click right?
[15:31] <McL0VIN> guntbert: oh i used that CD to install ubuntu on a test lappy and it worked
[15:31] <Narc> isolat3dsh33p: Yes, and sometimes the right too.
[15:31] <brontosaurusrex> kneeskrap3r: ill find an internal coder, no budget for stuff like that (i'am pretty sure)
[15:32] <brontosaurusrex> kneeskrap3r: its not that important
[15:32] <guntbert> McL0VIN: still a goos idea to "check the integrity of the CD"
[15:32] <kneeskrap3r> brontosaurusrex, well let me know, I take on projects cheap when I can learn from them
[15:32] <ustunozgur_home> http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23pulseaudio I mean no disrespect for the devs, but pulseaudio gives linux a bad name IMHO. Sorry for the rant.
[15:32] <McL0VIN> guntbert: DocPlatypus oh shoot,  the PowerEdge server is 64 and the ubuntu copy is 32 ...hmmmm
[15:33] <brontosaurusrex> kneeskrap3r: sure, thanks for help and thanks for an offer
[15:33] <zelhar> Hello.
[15:33] <kneeskrap3r> brontosaurusrex, good luck
[15:33] <kneeskrap3r> McL0VIN, bit?
[15:33] <guntbert> McL0VIN: should be startable though
[15:33] <zelhar> How can I find symlinks pointing to a certain file ?
[15:33] <kneeskrap3r> guntbert McL0VIN guntbert is right
[15:33] <jrib> zelhar: find probably
[15:33] <zelhar> i don't know the symlink name
[15:34] <guntbert> kneeskrap3r: ??
[15:34] <jrib> zelhar: right, you'd find it's target
[15:34] <McL0VIN> kneeskrap3r: well i will have to spend somemore time on it , when i go back home
[15:34] <zelhar> I already have its target, I want to find the links to the target file
[15:34] <kneeskrap3r> guntbert I was saying you are correct, it should still run the 32
[15:34] <guntbert> kneeskrap3r: :)
[15:35] <jrib> zelhar: I understand the question, use find
[15:35] <tmpuser1112> Hello, qtconfig doesn't change theme
[15:35] <McL0VIN> the darn thing got M$ Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server on it and i just can't take it anymore :)
[15:35] <zelhar> ok ... thank you
[15:36] <isolat3dsh33p> Narc, I give up. LOL
[15:36] <Odo> +
[15:36] <kneeskrap3r> McL0VIN, rofl, kill it
[15:36] <guntbert> zelhar: find / -lname linktarget
[15:36] <tmpuser1112> I am trying to change theme from gtk to clearlooks, but the gtk theme is reapplying itself
[15:36] <kneeskrap3r> isolat3dsh33p, yeah I am not finding anything anywhere
[15:36] <Narc> isolat3dsh33p: Haha, it's ok, thanks. I gave up too that's why I'm here.
[15:36] <kneeskrap3r> Narc, sorry dude I am not finding anything at all...
[15:37] <kneeskrap3r> Narc, how much stuff do you have on that box that isn't backed up?
[15:37] <Narc> kneeskrap3r: Me neither, it's okay, I'll wait or reinstall.
[15:37] <toro> +6+
[15:37] <kneeskrap3r> Narc, I'd be super curious if a fresh OS fixes it
[15:37] <zelhar> "-lname" is a mode right ?
[15:37] <Narc> kneeskrap3r: Oh, my Home is on its own partition
[15:37] <McL0VIN> kneeskrap3r: how :)
[15:37] <jrib> zelhar: it's the switch you want to use, yes
[15:37] <toro> ,
[15:37] <kneeskrap3r> Narc if not, perhaps it is the mouse, although you said you did use others...?
[15:37] <zelhar> ok thank you guys
[15:37] <Narc> kneeskrap3r: Yes
[15:38] <kneeskrap3r> McL0VIN, how do you install ubuntu???
[15:38] <kneeskrap3r> McL0VIN, boot to CD, format the old dog, and ta da!
[15:38] <sstvsd> p
[15:38] <McL0VIN> kneeskrap3r: thats what i am having prob with
[15:39] <shruggar> is there a hotkey (or a way to get a hotkey) like PrintScreen, which will let you drag a box around any part of the screen and capture just that box?
[15:39] <pawel__> halo
[15:39] <kneeskrap3r> McL0VIN, oh sorry I may have missed some stuff, I just saw issues with the LIVE CD demo... let me go back and read through all of the convo
[15:39] <joaopinto> shruggar, install the application shutter
[15:39] <ardchoille> shruggar: alt+left click and drag ?
[15:39] <ardchoille> shruggar: nvm, misunderstood. Shutter is what you want
[15:41] <isolat3dsh33p> Narc, good luck ;)
[15:41] <elektrikz> where can I find the grub OS list?
[15:41] <kneeskrap3r> McL0VIN, so you have tried the install option too? You only mentioned that the demo wouldn't boot...
[15:41] <Narc> isolat3dsh33p: Thanks
[15:41] <isolat3dsh33p> Narc, no prob. eventho I don't help much ;)
[15:42] <shruggar> thanks, I'll give it a shot
[15:42] <xpo0f> hi
[15:42] <McL0VIN> kneeskrap3r: yeah i did try to install and some thing  happens
[15:42] <isolat3dsh33p> elektrikz, grub.conf or menu.list for older grub and grub.cfg for grub2.
[15:42] <sunny_> hi
[15:43] <isolat3dsh33p> !hi | sunny_
[15:43] <sunny_> any body is here
[15:43] <kneeskrap3r> McL0VIN, ah okay... well it most likely either a) doesn't have the juice or b) some hardware is not compatible
[15:43] <joshvw_> Hi all.  I have an old WinXP laptop, and I'd like to transfer it as completely as possible to my ubuntu 9.10 computer such that I can run all of my installed programs, under Wine if possible.  I haven't been able to find good instructions for configuring Wine that way (all say to just install fresh applications through Wine)
[15:43] <sunny_> cn u help me islolate
[15:43] <elektrikz> isolat3dsh33p, thanks,I found it. I was searching for menu.list but couldn't find it :-)
[15:44] <nibbler> joshvw_: if you want windows, why not stick with xp?
[15:44] <joshvw_> Has anyone seen such instructions somewhere?  Or do I just have to do this in a VM and forget Wine
[15:44] <om26er> joshvw_, why use wine why not adopt free alternatives
[15:44] <sunny_> any body can tell me how can i install a yahoo messenger on ubuntu 9.04
[15:44] <heoa> Any irssi user around?
[15:44] <joshvw_> I have to run a lot of scientific software that I can't get under linux
[15:44] <joshvw_> (Origin, ChemDraw, etc)
[15:44] <ardchoille> heoa: There are plenty of irssi users in #irssi
[15:44] <om26er> heoa, many users use. ask the exact wuestion
[15:44] <nibbler> sunny_: dont use yahoo messenger, use pidgin to connect and chat with your yahoo contacts
[15:44] <McL0VIN> kneeskrap3r: but question, i am downloading the srvr edition now... and it is amd64, the srvr is 32bit intel...
[15:44] <diddy> What is wrong with this command. I am getting unknown interface error: ifconfig interface eth0 address 192.168.1.50 netmask 255.255.255.0
[15:45] <kneeskrap3r> McL0VIN, won't run
[15:45] <nibbler> diddy: its without "interface"
[15:45] <isolat3dsh33p> elektrikz, np. But for grub2, you should just run « sudo update-grub » in terminal. Afaik. :/
[15:45] <nibbler> diddy: and "address"
[15:45] <om26er> 1```````````
[15:45] <joshvw_> but I'd rather use linux for all but the windows-only programs
[15:45] <McL0VIN> kneeskrap3r: so what you suggest then me to do
[15:45] <ejv> hey fellas, im having issues installing flash player 10 in ubuntu, any suggestions?
[15:45] <joshvw_> (the answer here may be to just migrate my XP install to a VM, but I'd like to avoid that if possible)
[15:45] <ardchoille> joshvw_: Why not find Linux alternatives for your windows apps? That's what I did and was able to completely get rid of Windows
[15:45] <isolat3dsh33p> McL0VIN, what's your problem?
[15:45] <nibbler> joshvw_: just execute the installer with wine...
[15:46] <diddy> nibbler, thx
[15:46] <elektrikz> isolat3dsh33p, iam using grub 1.97~beta4,so it seems i have to update it manually...
[15:46] <DocPlatypus> joshvw_: yeah going with a VM is probably the best choice. I'd shrink the existing partition as small as you can stand, use the remaining space for the Ubuntu install
[15:46] <McL0VIN> isolat3dsh33p: appreciate your help but please scroll  up a bit and you will read it!
[15:46] <diddy> nibbler, will this command make the system use this IP address permanently or until I power off the system?
[15:46] <joshvw_> nibbler: also, I don't have the installation disks for some old programs
[15:47] <ejv> !flash
[15:47] <nibbler> diddy: not permanent, for permanent use /etc/network/interfaces
[15:47] <kneeskrap3r> McL0VIN, hold the phones... do you have a quad core Xeon in there?
[15:47] <kneeskrap3r> McL0VIN, or is it the older server?
[15:47] <joshvw_> DocPlatypus: OK, I've found instructions for migrating the windows installation, so maybe I'll just do that
[15:48] <joshvw_> though doing it under Wine would save me the XP overhead/memory
[15:48] <nibbler> diddy: if its auto now, you have to find the right syntax in "man interfaces"
[15:48] <McL0VIN> kneeskrap3r: its a Dell Power Edge with pentium D
[15:48] <isolat3dsh33p> elektrikz, it's grub2 if i'm not mistaken. If you wan't to edit it, go to « /etc/grub.d ». The grub.cfg is automatically updated. But I might be wrong ;)
[15:48] <nibbler> joshvw_: you can try to just execute the binaries with wine, maybe it works - depends a lot on the applications
[15:48] <diddy> nibbler, there is nothing in that file
[15:48] <perlmonkey2> Is there a service manager app to start stop and status services?
[15:49] <kneeskrap3r> McL0VIN, okay so you need to DL the 32bit ISO for ubuntu, althought I don't recommend server for daily use... unless you are familiar with CLI and ubuntu in general
[15:49] <kneeskrap3r> McL0VIN, and depending on what your goals are with this box, fileserver? webserver? other?
[15:49] <joshvw_> nibbler: I checked the wine appdb and supposedly most of my apps are supported, but right now 'wine someprogram.exe' is complaining about not finding the dlls that come with the program
[15:49] <arleslie> perlmonkey2: System: Administrator Settings: Services .... I think
[15:49] <nibbler> diddy: hmm, i am on 9.04 here, but i didnt expect it to change :|
[15:49] <warpi> http://zday2010.org/ = AWESOME!
[15:49] <joshvw_> so it's a path/wine home problem I expect
[15:50] <isolat3dsh33p> McL0VIN, I know nothing ;)
[15:50] <nibbler> joshvw_: use winecfg, copy the dlls to the right locations manually etc
[15:50] <perlmonkey2> arleslie: that's where i looked for it, but don't see it.  Do you know what it is called so I can install it?
[15:50] <elektrikz> isolat3dsh33p, sudo update-grub did the job  :-)
[15:50] <elektrikz> (it seems:D)
[15:50] <DocPlatypus> kneeskrap3r: what's the difference between server and desktop?
[15:50] <isolat3dsh33p> elektrikz, should be. That's why grub2 is awesome :)
[15:50] <nibbler> joshvw_: your problem is, i guess, the lack of the installer, so oyu have to fix dependencies yourself...
[15:50] <elektrikz> isolat3dsh33p, thank you :)
[15:50] <DocPlatypus> I've only installed desktop... don't have a spare machine to throw server on to see what it's like, or I'd do that
[15:50] <isolat3dsh33p> elektrikz, you're welcome :)
[15:51] <McL0VIN> kneeskrap3r: looks like i am going back to Debian

[15:54] <snnw> hi, ubuntu just crashed on me, no feedback from any input and a blinking capslock light means this was a kernel oops, yes? where can I find the oops output after reboot?

[15:55] <FiReSTaRT> ftab: open the sound settings, go to hardware and tell me which profile you're running

[15:56] <xpo0f> sorry
[15:56] <diddy> nibbler, I am an idiot. Never mind. I posted into the wrong channel.
[15:56] <erUSUL> snnw: not a kernl oops is a kernel panic (worse). Panics depending on the severity may leve no trace. but look in /var/log/messages /var/log/kern.log /var/log/syslog
[15:56] <xpo0f> :)
[15:56] <diddy> nibbler, #centOS is what I was trying to ask in

[15:57] <Baribal> Interesting... Not only did the dist-upgrade make my CD-ROM vanish, no, my USB HD can't be connected, either.
[15:57] <Baribal> Srsly, a rollback mechanism is in order.
[15:57] <alesan> how do I install thunderbird 3?
[15:58] <kneeskrap3r> alesan, apt-get install thunderbird
[15:58] <eddym> hey guys how do i check if i need a 32 bit or 64 bit prg
[15:58] <kneeskrap3r> eddym, do you know which your OS is?
[15:58] <McL0VIN> nibbler: kneeskrap3r : i just don't understand ... a 32bit Desktop for an Intel EM64T server
[15:58] <eddym> kneeskrap3r, ubuntu 9.10
[15:58] <eddym> kneeskrap3r, not sure
[15:58] <perlmonkey2> Strange, gnome-system-tools is supposed to have the System->Administration->Services app, but I have that installed and don't see that gnome tool int he menu.  Anyone know why?
[15:58] <ftab> FiReSTaRT, it was Analog Stereo Output,
[15:59] <IcyJ> alesan: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-thunderbird-3-in-ubuntu-9-109-048-108-04.html
[15:59] <FiReSTaRT> eddym: did you install 9.10-32bit or 9.10 64bit?
[15:59] <nigelcourtney> xpo0f: I have looked online for a solution, really tried but I am at the limit of my knowledge, I have set up a laptop next to the  computer with the problem, currently it will only work at 800x600
[15:59] <Baribal> eddym, I'd guess uname -a
[15:59] <kneeskrap3r> McL0VIN, you said it was 32bit
[15:59] <alesan> kneeskrap3r, and that will install thunderbird 3.0 over the 2.0 I have installed now? which kind of magic is that?
[15:59] <FiReSTaRT> ftab: that's the problem.. switch to analog stereo duplex, then click on the input tab, speak into the mike and see if the indicator will show anything
[15:59] <kneeskrap3r> McL0VIN> kneeskrap3r: but question, i am downloading the srvr edition now... and it is amd64, the srvr is 32bit intel...
[15:59] <eddym> inux laptop 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 16:20:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[15:59] <isolat3dsh33p> perlmonkey2, try editing the menu. :/
[15:59] <eddym> kneeskrap3r, got the cd.. iso somewhere
[15:59] <kneeskrap3r> alesan, ooh you got me, by install I assumed fresh
[16:00] <McL0VIN> kneeskrap3r: typo i apologize
[16:00] <alesan> kneeskrap3r, the key is 3.0
[16:00] <Baribal> eddym, now you just have to find out whether i686 are 32- or 64-bit processors. ^^
[16:00] <ftab> Thanks FiReSTaRT it worked now :-) but how did that changed automatically :()
[16:00] <nibbler> McL0VIN: there is some reasons to use 64bit os, but not *that* many, in can actually be a slowdown also...
[16:00] <nigelcourtney> Please could someone talk me through adding resolutions on a fresh build of 9.10 with nvidia drivers installed, currently stuck at 800x600 because it cannot get monitor info?
[16:00] <FiReSTaRT> ftab: no idea.. you or someone else may have changed it by accident or it could have been an upgrade glitch
[16:00] <kneeskrap3r> McL0VIN, no prob, the other thing is that a Pent D is 32bit in my xp... so I think you do want 32, not to mention that 32 still runs on 64 hardware :) :)
[16:01] <alesan> IcyJ, that should be it thanks
[16:01] <recmajkemi> does skype video works on 9.10 what do i have to install for my webcam to work?
[16:01] <nibbler> McL0VIN: anyway, try the boot options disabling the apic/acpi/whatever
[16:01] <IcyJ> np
[16:01] <nibbler> recmajkemi: depens on your webcam. if you have a well supported one, just plug it
[16:01] <FiReSTaRT> ftab: in any case i'm glad to be of some assistance for a change :D
[16:01] <recmajkemi> its an usb cam
[16:01] <McL0VIN> nibbler: will try it as soon as i go home
[16:01] <kneeskrap3r> eddym, "uname -m" in terminal
[16:02] <recmajkemi> i did but only works with picture takers not with skype
[16:02] <kneeskrap3r> eddym,  what does that give you?
[16:02] <eddym> i686
[16:02]  * McL0VIN reading some docs
[16:02] <isolat3dsh33p> nigelcourtney, `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org' wont work?
[16:02] <nibbler> recmajkemi: mine worked for all, out of the box
[16:02] <kneeskrap3r> eddym 32bit all the way
[16:02] <recmajkemi> K, tnx
[16:02] <FiReSTaRT> McL0VIN: and 32 is usually more stable, bugs less
[16:02] <kneeskrap3r> eddym, 64bit will not run properly on that OS
[16:02] <bomfank> join /# darksin
[16:03] <Yoman> how do you access a folder with a space in it in linux?
[16:03] <kneeskrap3r> eddym, so you want to get 32bit apps if you are given a choice ;)
[16:03] <McL0VIN> FiReSTaRT: cool will try it
[16:03] <eddym> ok cool thanks
[16:03] <ftab> FiReSTaRT, my skype has stopped working now :-( I mean no sound
[16:03] <nigelcourtney> isolat3dsh33p: No it said, xcommon-org not installed, I think it may be because i installed nvidia drivers?
[16:03] <kneeskrap3r> eddym, yw, have fun
[16:03] <eddym> i tried to install skype 32 and video is not working
[16:03] <IcyJ> Yoman: try %

[16:03] <kneeskrap3r> suman, nope
[16:03] <ftab> FiReSTaRT, yes
[16:04] <snnw> ubuntu panicked on me, /var/log/messages  says "kcryptd: page allocation failure" and a call trace. how can I debug this and report on launchpad?
[16:04] <Yoman> IcyJ, I tried that, but didn't work. in shell that is
[16:04] <IcyJ> suman: is it a remote windows client
[16:04] <suman> yes
[16:04] <McL0VIN> suman: no the actually all went to microsoft chat room
[16:04] <FiReSTaRT> ftab: usually you just have to config it.. i think i also had to the first time around.. im opening mine
[16:04] <isolat3dsh33p> nigelcourtney, Sys->Prefs->Display ?
[16:04] <nibbler> suman: the worst option is tsclient - but there are WAY better ones
[16:04] <Baribal> suman, try #ubuntu-geeks instead

[16:05] <suman> Baribal: thanks
[16:05] <FiReSTaRT> ftab: tell me if anything (mic/speakers/ring) are NOT "PulseAudio server (local)"
[16:05] <IcyJ> Yoman: sorry, use "", for example: cd "/Documents/Remote Desktop"
[16:05] <ftab> FiReSTaRT, a restart worked now :-) I mean restarting Skype
[16:06] <ftab> FiReSTaRT, thanks for your help
[16:06] <suman> Baribal
[16:06] <isolat3dsh33p> nigelcourtney, sorry, I'm not sure how to help you. :/
[16:06] <FiReSTaRT> ftab: ahhh ok.. i think it does need to be restarted to play nice with changed osund settings.. no worries and enjoy :)
[16:06] <Yoman> IcyJ, ok thanks = )
[16:06] <clerum> I have a program in rc3.d which is starting up but needs to have an enviromental variable set before it starts
[16:06] <suman> #ubuntu-geek
[16:06] <suman> sorry i'm here first time
[16:06] <clerum> I tried doing this in /etc/enviroment but that doesn't seem to be set before this S80program gets run
[16:06] <nigelcourtney> isolat3dsh33p: ok thanks anyway
[16:06] <suman> and sorry for my bad english
[16:07] <Myrtti> suman: there is no such channel, what did you want to ask from us?
[16:07] <perlmonkey2> I don't get it.  I've isntalled Postgresql and all the client libs and management tools, but the 'postgres' bin isn't available to root or any of users.  Why not?
[16:07] <kneeskrap3r> suman, np and we are mosly joking with you, what do you need a geek for?
[16:07] <clerum> if I invoke it after I sign in the it's all good
[16:07] <clerum> is /etc/enviroment the correct place for this?
[16:07] <suman> I want to view remote desktop

[16:08] <IcyJ> Suman: Applications -> Internet -> Terminal Server Client
[16:08] <kneeskrap3r> VNC
[16:08] <nibbler> suman: RDP (windows remote desktop) or general VNC?
[16:08] <nigelcourtney> Anyone please?, a little help with xorg.conf and setting resolutions
[16:08] <kneeskrap3r> suman, you'll want to use VNC, but obviously you have to be able to install it on both computers, the one you want to view and the one you are viewing from
[16:09] <isolat3dsh33p> nigelcourtney, you can check /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:09] <suman> could you help me find it's step by step tutorial or something like this
[16:09] <OerHeks> perlmonkey2 terminal > pgadmin3 ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL )
[16:09] <kneeskrap3r> suman, http://www.tightvnc.com/
[16:09] <suman> ^thanks
[16:10] <perlmonkey2> OerHeks: nevermind, the instructions I was reading were missing the su.  It was 'sudo postgres psql' but it should have been 'sudo su postgres psql'.
[16:10] <nigelcourtney> isolat3dsh33p: it's really short , does not give any resolutions etc
[16:10] <perlmonkey2> postgres is a user not a command :P
[16:11] <kneeskrap3r> suman, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC has even more information on it too
[16:11] <craigbass1976> I have xubuntu and need ot install openoffice, but I don't want all of the java that comes with it.  Just pick and choose in add/remove programs, or is there an apt-get I can run?
[16:11] <recmajkemi> in terminal how to get out from root
[16:11] <recmajkemi> whats the command
[16:11] <IcyJ> nigelcourtney: You have a NVidia?  Did you install the proprietary drivers: System - Administration -> Hardware Drivers?
[16:11] <craigbass1976> recmajkemi, exit
[16:11] <nigelcourtney> IcyJ: I think I did, yes
[16:11] <recmajkemi> craigbass1976: tnx
[16:12] <grawity> perlmonkey2: sudo -u postgres psql, actually.
[16:12] <nigelcourtney> IcyJ: Just checking
[16:12] <IcyJ> nigelcourtney: you are trying to add a resolution it did not detect?
[16:12] <isolat3dsh33p> nigelcourtney, you should edit the file I guess. I can't help with that. :/
[16:12] <kinja-sheep> craigbass1976: Try "aptitude install -yRs <xyzPackage>"  The -s is for stimulation and you would see which recommended packages will be avoided..
[16:12] <xpo0f> :)
[16:12] <xpo0f> craigbass1976: you can use apt-cache search <package>
[16:12] <nigelcourtney> IcyJ: yes, I am and, I currently have the recommended 173 version installed
[16:13] <nigelcourtney> isolat3dsh33p: it's beyond me too :-)
[16:13] <kneeskrap3r> craigbass1976, I am sort of lost... OOo is built on Java... what are you looking to strip out form it?
[16:13] <nullkuhl> ubuntu art fans pls vote here :) http://answers.polldaddy.com/poll/2487268/

[16:13] <xpo0f> !synaptic | craigbass1976
[16:13] <IcyJ> Nigelcourtney: are you using 9.10.  To configure undetected resolutions, you will have to use xrand: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[16:13] <craigbass1976> kneeskrap3r, I already have a jre I installed, and I need THAT version (1.5.18) not the newest one

[16:15] <nigelcourtney> isolat3dsh33p: yes just looking how to use xrandr
[16:15] <Baribal> suman, to my knowledge there is no channel #ubuntu-geeks. It was my response to you asking whether there are ubuntu geeks in #ubuntu.
[16:16] <nuker> ok :D
[16:16] <Dr_Willis> nuker:  theres a msttfonts pacakges you can install that instgalls them all. Or copy the fonts to your users .fonts directory
[16:16] <kinja-sheep> nuker: You can create a folder ~/.fonts and place it there.
[16:16] <SoulBlade> i want the libs to develop against - not sure if that's the same thing
[16:16] <IcyJ> nuker: if you have the fonts, you can copy them to  /usr/share/fonts
[16:16] <trism> craigbass1976: you can select which java openoffice uses, Tools/Options.../Openoffice.org/Java
[16:16] <eddym> kneeskrap3r, do u use skype
[16:17] <soreau> SoulBlade: Are you trying to compile something or why do you need gl headers?

[16:33] <xpo0f> how ?
[16:34] <Smokexz> xpo0f, didn't work
[16:34] <airtonix> elektrikz, pretty sure that stuff like nvidia driver and wifi drivers need to be recompiled for new kernels

[16:36] <nigelcourtney> IcyJ: I tried adding a mod line but it didnt show it on nvidia's settings app

[16:37] <nigelcourtney> IcyJ: I: or the built in Ubuntu display preferences
[16:38] <airtonix> elektrikz, its what i do after new kernels with my nvidia driver : 1) install/update to new kernel 2) have files required for driver recompile handy 3) reboot 4) kill x server 5) recompile. 6) restart x server

[16:41] <Slart> greenshift: try opening a terminal.. then run "xev".. you'll get a small window.. click on this little window and see if anything happens when you press AltGr ... it should print out some lines in the terminal window.. try this when altgr doesn't work in other places
[16:41] <jellow> UnknownUser56: need to edit /etc/shadow aswell
[16:41] <usernameproblem> lord_hypnos: chmod 777 /path
[16:41] <sudormsys32> lord_hypnos, you need to edit fstab sudo vim /etc/fstab
[16:42] <IcyJ> nigelcourtney:  I am on an intel video based computer right now, my NVidia is at home.  You could try System -> Preferences ->Display and try setting it there
[16:42] <SepehrLajevardi> gnome-translate
[16:42] <Slart> lord_hypnos: sudo chmod -R a+rw /media/yourdrive    should work for ext2,3,4
[16:42] <Slart> lord_hypnos: it will be different for say ntfs or other formats
[16:42] <lord_hypnos> that was fast
[16:42] <lord_hypnos> its a normal ext 3 partition
[16:42] <guntbert> Timewarper: how did you install postgresql?
[16:43] <lord_hypnos> can i jjust use the chmod 777 command? it seems to be the easiest
[16:43] <usernameproblem> jellow: thanks alot
[16:43] <Timewarper> guntbert, after i did an apt-get upgrade
[16:43] <airtonix> lord_hypnos, yes but you wont affect the sub-directories
[16:43] <greenshift> Slart, yes it gives some output that seems appropriate for that key
[16:43] <Timewarper> everything went to hell
[16:43] <ardchoille> lord_hypnos: chmod 777 sets the execute bit on ascii text files when they may not need it
[16:43] <lord_hypnos> oh ok, thanks everyone
[16:43] <Slart> greenshift: even when AltGr doesn't work in other places?
[16:44] <nigelcourtney> IcyJ: ok, out of interest how do I safely drop out of xserver into shell and restart xwindows, I have seen so many different ways of doing it
[16:44] <greenshift> Slart, yes, strange, isn't it?
[16:44] <Slart> nigelcourtney: open a terminal.. run "sudo service gdm stop"  ... but there are many ways of doing it
[16:44] <jellow> UnknownUser56: np , Get back to me if it fails for what ever reason
[16:44] <airtonix> nigelcourtney, 1) ctrl + alt  + f2 2) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop 3) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[16:44] <greenshift> Slart, the strange thing is that it seems to work randomly after each boot
[16:44] <guntbert> Timewarper: you installed it from the ubuntu repos?
[16:44] <Slart> greenshift: odd.. it's not a keyboard layout thing? so that it's switched to some other language layout or similar?
[16:45] <cralatl> !list
[16:45] <Offlein> How can I locate where a Package was installed to?
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> the use of the 'service' command is best to learn - instead of the old /etc/init.d/XXXX method
[16:45] <Timewarper> guntbert, no
[16:45] <mMezquitale> anyone knows what is the user "dialout"?!?
[16:45] <Timewarper> from a third repository
[16:45] <airtonix> Offlein, using dpkg
[16:45] <Slart> Offlein: packages install files to lots of places.. I think you can see the files in synaptic if you click on properties of the package
[16:45] <greenshift> Slart, no, I checked it. everything is set up fine and german keymap is set as usual. even reinstalling the OS doesnt work
[16:46] <ouyes> two many lines, two many active mouth
[16:46] <Mbear> Hi, can anyone tell me how to create a deaktop shortcut icon in netbook remix?  Thanks!
[16:46] <Slart> greenshift: very strange.. don't really know what else to look for.. computers are usually annoyingly consistent =)
[16:46] <airtonix> Offlein, or you can use synaptics package manager and view the properties of the package
[16:46] <Dr_Willis> mMezquitale:  a user with the permissions to use the dialout modem would be my guess
[16:46] <Offlein> airtonix slart, thank you. I was working from CLI. will check Synaptic first, then try to use Dpkg to do it.
[16:47] <greenshift> Slart, thanks for your time! will try investigate it a more
[16:47] <guntbert> Timewarper: my first advice: if there is no special reason to use that version - uninstall it and install it from the ubuntu repos
[16:47] <nigelcourtney> airtonix: did that and lost all display,
[16:47] <airtonix> Offlein, you'll see a tab labeled "installed files"
[16:47] <Slart> Offlein: ah.. there's probably a switch for apt-XXX or dpkg to do the same thing..
[16:47] <airtonix> nigelcourtney, you wanted to restart the x server yes ?
[16:47] <rob_p> mMezquitale: Back in the days of dial-up Internet service, it was necessary to give unpriv'd users access to the /dev/ttySx device nodes in order for him to access the modem which was connected to it.
[16:47] <mMezquitale> Dr_Willis, here is the kicker, why would a user "dialout" own a directory though?
[16:47] <nigelcourtney> airtonix: yes
[16:47] <Dr_Willis> mMezquitale:  what directory? give details..
[16:48] <airtonix> nigelcourtney, then you have done somethign else prior to this that would affect the x server, care to tell us what it is ?
[16:48] <ouyes> so many lines like  a lot of light flash,how do you know who are you talking to ?
[16:48] <guntbert> Timewarper: and why - 8.3.1 seems a bit old compared to 8.4.2
[16:48] <trism> Offlein: dpkg -L package_name will list the contents of a package
[16:48] <Slart> !who | ouyes
[16:48] <mrk> hey, in a my .vimrc file how do I get it to reference another file?
[16:48] <trism> Offlein: or apt-file list package_name if you have apt-file installed
[16:48] <airtonix> trism, doesnt want the contents, wants where they are installed.
[16:48] <trism> airtonix: the contents are where they are installed
[16:48] <mrk> I tried source
[16:48] <mMezquitale> Dr_Willis, the directory where I keep my files, it's stored in "/media".  I created the directory and had to chown it to myself, it was owned by a user "dialout", how can I perform an audit to see who and when this change was made?
[16:48] <trism> airtonix: they are absolute paths
[16:48] <ZykoticK9> Mbear, desktop?  there is no desktop in UNR.  Do you mean the main icon screens?  if you just use the regular "Main Menu" editor to add "shortcuts" to the launcher.  Good luck.
[16:48] <militant> anyone know anything about connecting to multiple wifi AP's from a single nic?  was reading about it the other day and wondering if anyone has played with it
[16:48] <Slart> ouyes: like I'm doing now.. writing your name first on the line.. it probably makes the line look different from the rest or makes a sound.. depending on what client you're using
[16:49] <Offlein> trism I don't, but good to know about, thx
[16:49] <ouyes> ubottu>thank you
[16:49] <Offlein> slart, airtonix found the droids i was looking for, thank you.
[16:49] <Dr_Willis> mMezquitale:  no idea on audits.  You mean the Mountpoint of a filesystem you have in /media/ ?   if a newly made directroy was owned by someone other then the owner.. thats.. odd..
[16:50] <ouyes> ubottu>you kiding me?
[16:50] <mrk> How do I make my .vimrc file reference another file?
[16:50] <Mbear> Hi Zykotick9  I am trying to put an icon on the main screen that invokes rdesktop with suitable options, to sake keep having to invoke terminal and type it in
[16:50] <nokiodance> hello
[16:50] <jellow> some should  rename ubottu to something more obvious like bot, confuses people
[16:50] <nokiodance> !list
[16:50] <nokiodance> !list
[16:51] <airtonix> jellow, you mean the word 'bot' in ubottu isn't obvious enough ?
[16:51] <ZykoticK9> Mbear, alacarte is the program you want
[16:51] <arbri> my ubuntu wont boot after installinf the new updates, anyone can help me?
[16:51] <Mbear> Thank you so much, Zyktotick9
[16:51] <Dr_Willis> jellow:  uBOTu :)
[16:51] <mMezquitale> Dr_Willis, I have a partition for only data, I mount it in a directory in "/media", when one creates a folder in "/media" you have to chown it to yourself otherwise only root has write access to it.  I just noticed today the folder(point of mount of partition) was owned by a user named "dialout"
[16:52] <nokiodance> gx96@live.it
[16:52] <jellow> airtonix: i don't see why it not just bot , ubottu looks pretty normal nick at first glance
[16:52] <Glohay> hi
[16:53] <Shazam> I've got a knocking in one of my Hard Drives. I assume that's capital 'B' Bad. How can I tell which drive it is that's having the error? Is that something that would show up under dmesg?
[16:53] <ZykoticK9> jellow, you're advocating removing all the fun people have quietly laughing to themselves when people start talking to ubottu without knowing it's a bot ;)
[16:53] <doktoreas> hello folks..I just installed Ubuntu Notebook Remic but I can't fine the desktop-switcher application
[16:54] <DocPlatypus> Shazam: I'd run Palimpsest and see what that tells you
[16:54] <doktoreas> *find
[16:54] <DocPlatypus> ask it about each drive you have... how many do you have total anyway?
[16:54] <ZykoticK9> Shazam, if you see a bunch of I/O errors in dmesg then that's probably the drive
[16:55] <Shazam> ZykoticK9: ah, yep, ata3 listed in dmesg.
[16:55] <Shazam> DocPlatypus: 4.
[16:56] <MetalSchops> :)
[16:56] <jellow> ZykoticK9: Your right , I was just moaning :)

[16:59] <Pelo> bazhang, there is nothing going on
[16:59] <bazhang> Pelo, doesnt matter
[17:00] <Pelo> DSheth, didyou install your ubuntu /home folder on a seperate partitons
[17:00] <ouyes> get a live cd then enter the recovery mode follow the installation steps until "reinstall grub"
[17:00] <DSheth> pelo, i dont know
[17:00] <Pelo> ouyes, he gets to the ubuntu screen , grub isn'T the problem
[17:00] <Hajex> hi ... how can I install camera driver .. I try cheese but said camera not found?
[17:00] <saer-diop> ubuntu-it
get a live cd then enter the recovery mode follow the installation steps until "reinstall grub"
[17:01] <Pelo> DSheth,  I assume you get the grub menu when you boot ?
[17:01] <DSheth> pelo yes grub menu is there
[17:01] <Pelo> DSheth, have you tried booting the recovery mode ?
[17:02] <DSheth> pelo, yes but there are no graphical interface on it  but i was able to get to my desktop
[17:02] <DSheth> pelo, i typed in user and pasword and it worked
[17:02] <Pelo> DSheth, ok, did you install anything lately or mess around with the config in some way ?
[17:03] <DSheth> pelo, it actually crashed when i was using a program called SALOME
[17:03] <Pelo> DSheth, ok what does salome do ? besides dance for heads
[17:03] <grzesiek> Grzesiek
[17:03] <DSheth> pelo, its an open source geometry modelling and meshing tool with pre and post-processing tools
[17:04] <Pelo> DSheth, ok,  here is my suggestion for the next step
[17:04] <JoshDreamland> I don't understand it. My fan is constantly on, my CPU never under 25%. I don't have all that much running; no more than I would on XP. In fact, far less.
[17:05] <karmst> Hello eveyone
[17:05] <karmst> is there something wrong with the way that the workspaces operate in Karmic?
[17:05] <JoshDreamland> Is this normal behavior? As in, is that percentage not absolute? Or the fan always on by default?
[17:06] <DSheth> pelo, what is your suggestion?
[17:06] <Pelo> DSheth, boot the comp again, when you get to grub,  select the gui version of ubuntu you usualy open , but hit "e" to edit ,  you'll get a bunth of lines,  look for the words "quiet" and or "splash" and  remove them,  then use the "B" key to boot, that should let you see a very verbose booting session,  you'll be able to see where/when it stops and know what is causing the problem
[17:07] <Pelo> DSheth, sorry it took a bit to type
[17:07] <karmst> Its like the drag feature doesn't work and when I take my mouse all the way to the right, the screen doesn't automatically shift to the next workspace.
[17:07] <DSheth> pelo, no problems and thank you ver ymuch
[17:07] <doktoreas> is there a channel for Ubuntu Notebook remix support?
[17:08] <DSheth> il be back if it dont work :P
[17:08] <DSheth> bye
[17:08] <Pelo> karmst, try disabling compiz if you have it enable
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> JoshDreamland:  some laptops need special tools/drivers/tweaks for the fans to properly speedup/slow down

[17:10] <JoshDreamland> Dr_Willis: This is a desktop. The fan does turn off sometimes, but it's on so frequently it's not notable.
[17:11] <guntbert> greenshift: not here please
[17:11] <DavidJHeinrich> hi all, I'm trying to unrar an archive and it keeps telling me "unrar failed" (on all files)
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> JoshDreamland:  could need some special mb drivers/.tools then
[17:12] <Pelo> DavidJHeinrich, might be password protected
[17:12] <jMyles> Where are the apache log files?
[17:12] <DavidJHeinrich> that's strange, its from a bit-torrent
[17:12] <Pelo> DavidJHeinrich, are you using a gui app to unrar or doing it from the command line ?
[17:12] <ouyes> guntbert, you said that to me?there's a red underline on my screen by you words
[17:12] <DavidJHeinrich> command line
[17:13] <Pelo> DavidJHeinrich, do you have a gui ? gnome or something ? if so , just right clck one of the files and select extract here
[17:13] <DavidJHeinrich> Pelo, that _just_ extracts the folder, none of the files in it
[17:13] <greenshift> guntbert, dont know what you mean?
[17:13] <utiposseditis> if some of the applications under gnome's system > administration menu are missing, how do I recover them?
[17:13] <Pelo> DavidJHeinrich, get any msg ?
[17:13] <DavidJHeinrich> there are 11 files in it, right clicking & extract only gets the folder name extracted, not files
[17:14] <DavidJHeinrich> Extracting  PHP and MySql ebook collection 2009/Pro PHP Patterns Frameworks Testing and More Mar 2008.pdf Failed

[17:14] <dhei> hello
[17:14] <DavidJHeinrich> that's what I get
[17:14] <guntbert> greenshift: sorry - wrong nick by faulty tab expansion
[17:14] <JoshDreamland> Dr_Willis: I'm afraid the fan's on because it's genuinely overheating due to the CPU averaging 75%
[17:14] <Pelo> DavidJHeinrich, you got a broken archive ,  try this,  right click open, it will show you the content ofthe rar without extracting it
[17:14] <JoshDreamland> Or higher.
[17:14] <dhei> pls help me what can i use to voice call using jolicloud
[17:14] <guntbert> ouyes: I didn't intend to talk to you
[17:15] <DavidJHeinrich> Pelo, yes, it shows the contents...11 files
[17:15] <DavidJHeinrich> Pelo, all PDFs
[17:15] <DavidJHeinrich> no, 9 pdfs, 2 .chm's
[17:15] <Pelo> DavidJHeinrich, try selecting one and extracting it
[17:15] <vaporub> will aptitude detect dependencies that were install with apt-get?
[17:15] <karmst> Pelo: that worked
[17:15] <karmst> but why doesn't compiz work in Karmic right?
[17:16] <sammm> if my usb soundcard does not work on one computer(armv5tel) running 9.04 and does work on 2 others (x86, 8.10) on one (x86, 9.10) on the other, how do i find where the problem lies?
[17:17] <vaporub> better yet... I want to do some upgrades on a web server, but need to *freeze* some packages and their dependencies (ruby, rubyonrails, etc)... will 'aptitude hole ruby' do this for me (even if I installed using 'apt-get install ruby'
[17:17] <soreau> karmst: What doesn't 'work right' about it?
[17:17] <vaporub> s/hole/hold
[17:17] <Pelo> karmst, it's not so much a question of release but a question of hardware,  and in this particular case I'm guessing the default settings for compiz on your hardware override what you normaly expect your touchpad to do ,  you'll need to play around with the compiz settings, I'm recomending you disable the cube that might be the problem
[17:17] <trinity> hi everyone
[17:17] <jessejazza> vaporub: no. apt and aptitude have different databases. You are advised to stick to one or the other. I've tested this theory and found it to be correct
[17:17] <ubuntu> hi
[17:18] <DavidJHeinrich> Pelo, it says "Extraction completed successfully", but still doesn't work
[17:18] <guntbert> jessejazza: how did you test that?
[17:18] <trinity> alcohol 52 here?
[17:18] <llutz> vaporub: you should avoid to mix apt-get and aptitude. it's always better to use just one of those front-ends
[17:18] <shawn_> jessejazza, Agreed
[17:18] <karmst> ok thanks Pelo
[17:18] <Pelo> DavidJHeinrich, you got a broken archive is my guess,  if you give me a link to it I can give it a try
[17:18] <vaporub> jessejazza: thanks.. there have been multiple admins on this box and a mix of apt-get/aptitude was used
[17:19] <shawn_> vaporub, apt-get and aptitude are both front ends for APT... Its best to stick to one or the other mixing causes a lot of problems
[17:19] <DavidJHeinrich> Pelo, it is this torrent: http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/112067813/PHP+and+MySql+ebook+collection+2009?tab=summary

[17:22] <stuartpbentley> Where does Nautilus store icon positions in Karmic? Most sites listed it as being in ~/.nautilus/metafiles/Desktop.xml, but ~/.nautilus is empty in Karmic.
[17:22] <Pelo> DSheth, the edit might not have taken, I think you need to hit enter once you have removed the words to exit the edit mode
[17:22] <DSheth> pelo, ok
[17:22] <Pelo> DSheth, I've never done this with  grub 2.0 before I'M winging it

[17:25] <DSheth> pelo, thank you again
[17:25] <pasjr> thank you
[17:25] <shawn_> llutz, Why wouldnt it exist?
[17:25] <shawn_> llutz, Mine exists by default
[17:25] <will_> twit.tv
[17:25] <Pelo> shawn_, i'M just been playing with the minimal install recently,  I get confused at to whatis part of the default , I know vim is default and I hate it , it's too complicated for newbies
[17:25] <jelly> Hi, does synaptic in 9.10 know to mark extra installed required dependencies as automatically installed?
[17:25] <hekdahl> Anyone that knows how to make a wireless driver to stay put in the system when rebooting the computer?
[17:26] <shawn_> Pelo, True but very powerful once you get it
[17:26] <llutz> shawn_:   because this is *buntu-default -> /etc/default/bootlogd:BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=No)
[17:26] <Pelo> jelly, it does
[17:26] <jessejazza> "jessejazza: how did you test that?" easy [going back a while now!] - choose a few large packages with lots of dependencies and install on one PC with apt.
[17:26] <shawn_> llutz, Well my log is there by default as well
[17:26] <fenix> oi
[17:26] <llutz> shawn_: as an nearly empty file?
[17:26] <jelly> Pelo: great, so it'll clean up the dependencies if I choose to remove the package I installed?  Compatible with aptitude?
[17:27] <shawn_> llutz, As a file with the log of my last boot
[17:27] <Pelo> DavidJHeinrich, this torrent is realy pissing me off,  it's maxing out my connection with only half a dozen peers,   I have one with a 5000 strong swarm that 's barerly dling
[17:27] <DavidJHeinrich> Pelo, sorry, that's strange
[17:27] <hekdahl> Anyone that knows how to make a wireless driver to stay put in the system when rebooting the computer?
[17:27] <wowoto> jo
[17:28] <Pelo> jelly, it won'T remove dependencies automaticaly,  you it will mark them as orphaned ,  you can sudo apt-get autoremove and sudo apt-get autoclean to get rid of them
[17:28] <Pelo> jelly, probably works in aptitude as well
[17:28] <jelly> Pelo: that's good enough, thanks
[17:28] <DavidJHeinrich> Pelo, I don't know much about the way torrents work...maybe the pepole inthat torrent are allocating unusual amount of upload bandwidth?
[17:28] <Buddha> anyone who knows how to get wireless driver for broadcom 4315 for karmic
[17:29] <Pelo> DavidJHeinrich, the other one is an old torrent,  many ppl seeding but probably not actively at the moment
[17:29] <shawn_> Buddha, DId you try Ssystem > Administration > Hardware Drivers?
[17:29] <jelly> Pelo: (aptitude just differs in that it wants to remove them automatically, but that's the functionality I wanted to know about)
[17:29] <shawn_> Buddha, Most Broadcom drivers are there
[17:29] <Pelo> DavidJHeinrich, torrent done let me try it out
[17:29] <hekdahl> Anyone that knows how to make a wireless driver to stay put in the system when rebooting the computer?
[17:29] <Buddha> yes i did that ..
[17:29] <mMezquitale> are all users on a system members of the same group? I am trying to give read rights to a drive I have mounted in "/media"
[17:29] <Buddha> it shows that drivers are available
[17:29] <jessejazza> Do the same with a spare machine that you've always used aptitude on. then revert. But things have changed now that apt-get has autoremove. I prefer to install with synaptic and remove with apt-get. i don't see the point of using aptitude. You can use both aptitude and apt successfully if you update each every time you use either. The app that is supposed to synchronise between them should not be relied on. Aptitude doe
[17:29] <jessejazza> s remove automatically and can remove too much!
[17:30] <Buddha> when i click that and put the passwd nothing happens
[17:30] <xpo0f> hi people
[17:30] <chaitanya_> hi people
[17:30] <shawn_> Buddha, It will install them
[17:30] <xpo0f> :)
[17:30] <shawn_> Buddha, If not check for the driver in the repos manually
[17:30] <perlmonkey2> Can someone tell me why gnome-system-tools doens't install the gnome-services bin?  I've reinstalled it and don't see it.  Or can someone go to their system-admin-services and tell me what that bin is called?
[17:31] <shawn_> Buddha, And try rebooting too
[17:31] <llutz> mMezquitale: not by default. add them to i.e. "users" as a common group
[17:31] <utente> ciccio10
[17:31] <Pelo> DavidJHeinrich, ok, it works fine for me,  extracts no problem,  I'M gonna take a guess that your issue has to do with permissions in the folder you are extracting to ,  try sudo chmod -R 777 /path/folder  on the folder where the rar file is located and where you will be extracting it
[17:31] <Buddha> i tried that
[17:31] <Buddha> when i click on install
[17:31] <Buddha> it asks for the password
[17:31] <trism> perlmonkey2: it was removed for karmic because it is incompatible with upstart, hopefully they will patch it and it will be available again in lucid
[17:32] <Buddha> i put it
[17:32] <Pelo> Buddha, caplocks
[17:32] <perlmonkey2> trism: thank you thank you.  I'll use bum for now then as I can never figure out the service name for postgres :P
[17:32] <Buddha> then notihing happens
[17:32] <Pelo> !enter  | Buddha
[17:32] <shawn_> Buddha, YOu are probably entering the password wrong
[17:32] <hekdahl> Anyone that know stuff about wireless drivers for ubuntu 9.10?
[17:32] <silas428> I am setting up a chroot environment for ssh/sftp, when I try and login to the server I am getting "/bin/bash not found" even though I copied the entire /bin directory to the chroot directory

[17:33] <mMezquitale> llutz, thanks, so if I give read right to group "users" to the file in "/media", then all users should be able to in "users" group should be able to read all the files in that directory?
[17:33] <DavidJHeinrich> Pelo, thanks, let me see which ones I need
[17:34] <jessejazza> vaporub: i'd suggest that you stick with apt-get. use deborphan to check for orphan packages to remove

[17:51] <obiwan_> hey guys, i got a question with gedit. I'm tyring to compile with latex a file and get the same error. This would be a latex question, if copypasting the same file with the same encoding in the same editor (gedit) and even comparing bitwise with cmp file.tex file2.tex didn't say the files are exactly identic, byte-by-byte. What's going on guys?
[17:51] <Klanticus> well.. I followed the instructions from the link ubotu gave, and got an almost perfect iso. The only problem, is that gnome didn't automatically start after the boot, but I can do startx and everything works fine
[17:51] <ice_age> ChogyDan: It is good for smaller files and without good graphics but the larger ones.....not upto mark.
[17:51] <nulled> If I had an SSD in it, tan no swap

[18:01] <mobius2> I've recently install a webserver , and I'm installing an invision powerboard software to it. Basically I am having trouble wrapping my mind around the file permission scheme and the chmod command. I gather from the error I am receiveing that I need to change the file permissions for a particular directory. But how? Can someone explain chmod command or point me to a web source ?
[18:01] <qdb> i want case sensitive
[18:01] <ubuntu> ver orc.ogamenet.net
[18:02] <ice_age> Not edit i mean. Simple annotations- Okular would do it but it is a kde package and no better than ereader
[18:02] <Pelo> BrodeurPC, about your driver  the best suggestion I can offer is to check the nvidia.com website see which driver is recommended for your card , and if it is different then the one available on ubuntu , use the one from the website

[18:02] <nulled> nmvictor: make sure you have Notification Area applet on your panel!
[18:02] <ChogyDan> mobius2: just use chmod +rwx filename_or_directory   where you should use r w or x depending on whether you want read write or executable access.
[18:02] <jellow> ouyes: ok then aptitude install module-assistant auto-install madwifi-source
[18:03] <bharani> i am looking same like dream wear
[18:03] <BrodeurPC> Pelo, ok thank you for the help, if i can't get it to work i'll just throw the card out and get something newer
[18:03] <bharani> is there any ide like dream weaver

[18:04] <bharani> php syntax inteligent there ya
[18:04] <ChogyDan> ice_age: Ive never edited pdfs myself, but I would use just a standard editor I would think.  There also seems to be pdfedit.  Other than that, I don't know

[18:05] <ouyes> jellow,  then what body?
[18:05] <ChogyDan> !7.10 | g0tcha
[18:06] <Pelo> BrodeurPC, most companies work like that,   it's the chipset of the card that is important,  that's what the driver is for
[18:06] <ouyes> jellow, you sure it's not harmful to my system?
[18:06] <ChogyDan> g0tcha: the repos go offline when the release hits eol
[18:06] <bharani> nanotube>kompozer have syntax checker
[18:07] <g0tcha> ChogyDan, is there any way around it?
[18:07] <jellow> ouyes: do not think it worked anyway i just tried it =(

[18:07] <guitar-maniac> Hello :) how can i tuxguitar, sudo apt-get update and sudo-apt-get upgrade wont do it.. or am i missing something?
[18:08] <BrodeurPC> Pelo, yeah the chipset on the card says GeForce2 MX, it doesnt even have a heat sink on it, must be a badly low end card
[18:08] <nanotube> ChogyDan: g0tcha: there is a repo for eol'ed releases somewhere... iirc
[18:08] <ouyes> jellow, it doesn't matter
[18:08] <Pelo> BrodeurPC, it'S possible it's no longer supported
[18:08] <g0tcha> ChogyDan, i cannot upgrade for 2 reasons, i wont be home for another month and im only sshing to it right now, second reason is the pc specs are kinda old for 9.10 i think
[18:08] <Surlent777> so um, wow is this thing screwed up. I put Karmic on an older computer, to replace XP, and it worked fine. I got it installed, upgraded, configured, even had dansguardian on and working. After a while, when I came back to it, it had frozen. I rebooted and it was fine. I came back this morning to a black screen and a dead keyboard/mouse. I rebooted (in the newest and the original kernel) and that did nothing. I went into recovery mode long enough to tou
[18:08] <g0tcha> nanotube, official ones'
[18:08] <jellow> ouyes: Most of those packages were not in repositry , out of the blue when you were compiling madwifi you did "sudo root" rigth?
[18:09] <nanotube> g0tcha: yes official. googled for it, found "old-releases.ubuntu.com"
[18:09] <BrodeurPC> Pelo, no big loss if it isnt
[18:09] <nanotube> g0tcha: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+old+release+repo
[18:10] <ouyes> jellow, yes
[18:10] <ltsampro1> come on
[18:10] <ltsampro1> for god's sake
[18:10] <sclimans> Can anyone help me?  I messed around with my sound a while ago and I have now completely lost it.  I do not know exactly what I did to lose the sound.  How do I reinstall all sound (drivers?) back onto my computer.  I am using a dual-boot system and the sound works fine in the other OS.
[18:10] <nanotube> g0tcha: that said... the repos no longer receive security updates, so you'll only  be able to get the latest security updates up to the time that the repo was eol'ed. so highly recommended to updrade to a supported release (8.04 lts should last you for a while, e.g.)
[18:10] <ltsampro1> why the hell emacs on ubuntu doesn't pick up my HOME's .emacs file ?
[18:10] <Pelo> BrodeurPC, if youcan use it wth the vesa driver why not just use it like that,   I doub'T a card that old would let you run all the compiz candy anyway
[18:10] <ChogyDan> g0tcha: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[18:10] <qdb> possible with grep
[18:10] <Surlent777> ...is it a *bad* sign to have no file blatantly named xorg.conf?
[18:11] <g0tcha> but is there a reason why this is happening?
[18:11] <Dr_Willis> Surlent777:  x auto configures for the most part. No need for xorg.conf in many cases
[18:11] <g0tcha> i mean why they drop support like that?
[18:11] <sclimans> Any help?
[18:11] <Surlent777> sclimans: try opening a terminal, typing alsamixer, and make sure all the mixers are set up right. If you have an Audigy card, make sure that the digital output thing is turned on
[18:11] <Slart> !who | g0tcha
[18:11] <BrodeurPC> Pelo, the computer its in has onboard video as well, ill just put it back to the on board and use the card in something else
[18:11] <Pelo> Surlent777, no it'S not , it'S no longer required,  xorg will run default unless you make an xorg.conf file
[18:12] <BrodeurPC> Pelo, if you like old hardware you would have a field day in my basement
[18:12] <ChogyDan> g0tcha: that is the policy.  No benefit to maintaining old versions forever?
[18:12] <Surlent777> Dr_Willis Pelo any ideas as to why I'd have a completely blank screen and unresponsive peripherals?
[18:12] <ouyes> jellow, it is strange because it can be compiled under 8.04
[18:12] <Pici> g0tcha: Normal Ubuntu releases are supported for 18 months, LTS releases are supported for 3/5 years desktop/server
[18:12] <sclimans> In alsamixer, all of the mixers are at 100%.  I don't know if I have an Audigy card.  I am using an iMac
[18:12] <skuul> hey everyone i cant use my root password after .17 update do you know how can i fix it !
[18:12] <g0tcha> hmm
[18:12] <Pelo> Surlent777, too many possibilities
[18:13] <jellow> ouyes: im fresh out of suggestions , you could try #madwifi though expect to wait a while for them to answer
[18:13] <guntbert> skuul: you don't need a root password
[18:13] <g0tcha> i see
[18:13] <Slart> skuul: we don't support having a root password set.. try setting it again
[18:13] <ChogyDan> g0tcha: ubuntu is not like windows where you need a more powerful computer for each new release.  It stays about the same I think
[18:13] <Dr_Willis> skuul:  you mean you cant 'sudo' after a update?
[18:13] <skuul> yep
[18:13] <skuul> Dr_Willis:

[18:14] <sclimans> Can anyone help me?  I messed around with my sound a while ago and I have now completely lost it.  I do not know exactly what I did to lose the sound.  How do I reinstall all sound (drivers?) back onto my computer.  I am using a dual-boot system and the sound works fine in the other OS.  My alsamixer levels are normal
[18:14] <ouyes> jellow, yep i try it myself,
[18:14] <Surlent777> the newest kernel hates me too...I have the latest nvidia drivers from their site, and with the new kernel, it gives me a big white error box telling me that Bad Things have happened. Booting into the older kernel is fine though =/
[18:14] <TWD> I think I have multiple copies of rmagick installed.  IE I think installed from source and from gem install.  Any idea on how to get rid of all of them?
[18:14] <skuul> Dr_Willis: yep sorry. i cant 'sudo' after last update
[18:14] <ouyes> il work it out
[18:14] <g0tcha> ChogyDan, well yeah, thats the idea when i installed it
[18:15] <g0tcha> ChogyDan, so it lasts longer and can do more on this limited old computer i have it running on
[18:15] <g0tcha> its been running pretty good for nearly 2 years now
[18:15] <g0tcha> i didnt had to use the repos for a long while till now :/
[18:16] <g0tcha> tbh im kinda disapointed right now, but the solution should b doable from what im reading
[18:16] <rb___> hi can anyone help me with my scrambled key problem?
[18:16] <ChogyDan> g0tcha: you should be fine upgrading,  you probably want to just use lts releases.  So, all you have to do is upgrade to 8.04 and you will be good for another couple years
[18:16] <Pelo> Surlent777, try removeing the newer kernels and then doign an update again
[18:16] <rb___> i'm connecting to my linode via vnc from vista and when i type asdf it comes out abfh or something like that
[18:16] <g0tcha> ChogyDan, is that doable through SSH only?
[18:17] <Surlent777> Pelo: I booted with the original Karmic kernel and still have blank screen/dead peripherals
[18:17] <g0tcha> i wont have physical access to it for atleast another month atleast

How do I reinstall all sound (drivers?) back onto my computer.  I am using a dual-boot system and the sound works fine in the other OS.  My alsamixer levels are normal
[18:17] <Surlent777> Pelo: Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding you?
[18:17] <Dr_Willis> BrodeurPC:  .run just means its a executable isntaller for the most part.
[18:17] <Pelo> Surlent777, clean install the pervious release
[18:17] <Dr_Willis> BrodeurPC:  chmod +x whatever.run   then run it wuthg  ./whatever.run

[18:20] <Pici> rb___: There are a few solutions suggested in the main bug report (not the duplicate you posted): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/112955     Also, its a bit rare to vnc into a VPS like linode, you could just use ssh.
[18:20] <mMezquitale> sclimans, mess around some more and youll get it fixed back again without a problem, you can probably delete most of the stuff for pulseaudio and then install alsa or you can follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

[18:23] <Pelo> Surlent777, have you ever installed ubuntu on this computer before or is this a new thing for you ?
[18:23] <OzMa13> Well, there is an external hard disk in which i don't have pemission on everything. What can i write on terminal to change at once for all the files of the disk?
[18:23] <Surlent777> Pelo: New for that computer

[18:24] <Surlent777> Pelo: wait I lied; I did Xubuntu on it a long time ago. Aside from some Flash issues it worked fine. That was probably 8.04
[18:24] <OzMa13> Dr_Willis give me a sec
[18:24] <Pelo> Surlent777,I suggest you try the alt-install cd
[18:24] <Surlent777> Pelo: What would that do that I have not already done? Is that not just a CLI-based installer as opposed to a graphical one?
[18:25] <OzMa13> Its fat32
[18:25] <Surlent777> and seriously, what is with all that garbage after lastmountpint up there? that bugs me
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> OzMa13:  use the proper mount options for it in /etc/fstab to allow all users if thats what you want
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> OzMa13:  or try installing/running the ntfs-config tool  - it has some options to change who can access it
[18:26] <Pelo> Surlent777, the alt cd is a bit more then cli based installer, it has some old dos style graphics but , the point is it's easier on the comp for the install process ,  not sure what's going on on with your hdd however
[18:26] <skuul> guntbert:  it says "auth could not identify password for [ozan]"

[18:30] <Surlent777> Pelo: Allow me to re-iterate then: Karmic installed, tweaked, all is good, random freeze, mouse still works. Annoying, but I reboot and it's fine. I come back this morning to a blank screen, dead mouse/keyboard. I reboot, same issue. I try the old kernel, same issue. I drop to a root prompt, touch /forcefsck, that doesn't fix it. So I boot, get past xsplash, and it's dead in the water from there, though I can still SSH into it. Just before blanking out

[18:35] <johannes1> hi I am using netboot=nfs and nfsroot=server:/folder and the folder gets mounted at /live/image but the system then searches at /live for the squashfs, which is mounted at /live/image and wont find it. What can I do to change that?
[18:35] <mMezquitale> how would I grant read access to a directory to a user?
[18:35] <Surlent777> Pelo: What's odd is I thought I told it to only shut down the monitor and not touch the hard drive
[18:36] <Pelo> Surlent777, this is a bit over my head but try figuring out how to disable the module that drives hibernation
[18:36] <tarzeau> mMezquitale: check the users group id and make it owned by that group?
[18:36] <tarzeau> mMezquitale: or make the dir world readable?
[18:36] <tarzeau> mMezquitale: it's either g+r or o+r thedir
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> mMezquitale:  if its on a NTFS or vfat filesystem *if i recall your earlier issues* - you cant chmod/chown them.
[18:37] <Pelo> mMezquitale, add the user to the group that owns the folder
[18:37] <lucy> can i run ubuntu on a 2gb stick?
[18:37] <unique> do i need to open specific port on my firewall for oident to work?
[18:37] <mMezquitale> tarzeau, but if I change the group ownership will the group also have write/execute on the folder?
[18:37] <mMezquitale> Dr_Willis, im using ext3
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> lucy:   You can do a usb-live-install to a 2gb stick i belive. but that size may be a little tight.
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> mMezquitale:  then you use the normal chown/chmod or group methods
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> !chown  mMezquitale
[18:37] <tarzeau> mMezquitale: whatever people are in that group have the access which is defined, you know rwx stuff?
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> !chmod  mMezquitale
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> Hmm what are those factoids..

[18:38] <Pelo> Surlent777, my last suggestion is the best I can offer i'm affraid,  it's either that or a clean install
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> lucy:  2gb is going to be tight for any real work. try it and see.
[18:38] <dernen> can someone help me setup my /etc/asound.conf i have hdmi audio its working for most stuff but some games / apps dont have any sound im pretty sure i just need to setup my default sound device but im not sure how, i know its card 0 device 3 (atleast im pretty sure)
[18:39] <lucy> Dr_Willis, the iso is only 700mb right?
[18:39] <nulled> !sound
[18:39] <mMezquitale> Pelo, if I add the user to the group, will that user have write access to all the files underneath the directory?  Can I also restrict read/write permissions on files inside the directory?
[18:39] <Surlent777> Pelo: I wouldn't mind, except that it's a four hour process for this particular machine, give or take =/
[18:39] <Isaban> Ok
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> lucy:  yes. but its also very compressed. You will want a few 100mb for a save file at least.. the usb-disk-creator tool can get you going .
[18:40] <Pelo> mMezquitale, if you add tha tuser to the group you it will have the access of the group , which can be diff from the access of the owner
[18:40] <Pelo> Surlent777, I hear you
[18:41] <Surlent777> Pelo: Is there a way to force it to ignore a hibernation image and just boot normally? Like, in case of situations like this?
[18:41] <stuartpbentley> Where does Nautilus store desktop icon positions in Karmic? Most sites listed it as being in ~/.nautilus/metafiles/Desktop.xml, but ~/.nautilus is empty in Karmic.
[18:41] <ivan_> Hello, does anyone know how to speed up my usb flash drive? Before i formatted it It had an average speed of 14 mb/s but now it went down to 3 mb /s
[18:41] <mMezquitale> Pelo, thanks!!!!
[18:41] <Pelo> Surlent777, no idea,  I don'T do the hibernation stuff myself,   you might want to do a search in the forum however  www.ubuntuforums.org

[18:49] <Misha__> Hi folks. Ages ago a reconfigured my system (8.04) to boot into console mode only. Now I'd like to boot back into an ordinary graphic-session. What should I do to accomplish this...?
[18:49] <guntbert> McL0VIN: better yet https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[18:49] <iR00T> I got a question about teamviewer can someone pm me and let
[18:49] <iR00T> s talk about it
[18:49] <Surlent777> Misha__: Did you add the textmode line to GRUB to do this? If so, just remove it
[18:49] <ameya> atawre, hi!
[18:49] <amidaniel> sam_sam: No. These are keys that are not mapped at all. I.e., xev returns no output when the key is pressed, and there is no output when running acpi_listen
[18:49] <guntbert> !pm | iR00T
[18:49] <Dimitree> is there an updated Ubuntu 9.10 live CD with working PPPoE ?
[18:50] <atawre> hello ameya
[18:50] <Surlent777> Dimitree: Live CDs are usually done once and once only, so far as I know
[18:50] <Misha__> Surlent: I truly don't remember, I did this ages ago :) Where should I peek?
[18:50] <Dimitree> :(
[18:50] <rb___> How do you edit a file through SSH? Do you just type the location of it?
[18:50] <McL0VIN> guntbert: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes only lists the hash it self no files
[18:50] <iR00T> K, it's a teamviewer question. I installed TV5 and when it loads you can tell it's ran threw wine with XP shit but back on topic I click connect says conneting then dont let me see antything like it stopped then when someone connects to me says I am awaiting premission when I never see anything. I believe I need  a update of wine or something
[18:50] <Surlent777> Misha__: for GRUB, probably something like /boot/grub.cfg or something like that
[18:50] <Kieran0413> rb___, you'd use a command line editor, such as nano or vim
[18:51] <rb___> so nano location?
[18:51] <iR00T> I use kate text editor
[18:51] <Kieran0413> rb___, yup.
[18:51] <KagomeS> Hi.  I just needed to find out one quick thing
[18:51] <rb___> kieran0413: thanks
[18:52] <KagomeS> do you need to back up your files before updating to 9.10 or just run the terminal command?
[18:52] <guntbert> McL0VIN: column 1: hashes column 2: file names
[18:52] <gf> hi
[18:52] <jrib> KagomeS: you should always have backups
[18:52] <iR00T> I will not update to 9.10 it makes my internet go from 100% wireles to 25$
[18:52] <iR00T> %
[18:52] <KagomeS> jrib, but do you NEED to or will your files still be there?
[18:52] <bleepbloop> is the Network Manager applet supposed to be an application that I can use just by clicking?

[18:52] <McL0VIN> guntbert: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[18:52] <jellow> KagomeS: Would be a good idea , They do not always work
[18:52] <bleepbloop> (forgot the technical name, sorry)
[18:52] <lucas__> in italiano
[18:52] <jrib> KagomeS: if nothing goes wrong, your files will still be there
[18:52] <gf> I have a problem with XBMC and SVN Repo Installer, I have put svn repo folder in /xbmc/plugins/program and I can see that folder in xbmc but I can't open it
[18:53] <KagomeS> okay, thanks
[18:53] <McL0VIN> guntbert: how would i use that with ubuntuhash site you just posted
[18:53] <Kieran0413> gf, you'd be better off asking in xbmc support.
[18:53] <Misha__> Surlent: No such luck...I suspect it's because of the lacking "S30gdm -> ../init.d/gdm" in /etc/rc3.d - the same link is in /etc/rc4.d. I guess I should change the default runlevel, but where do I do that...?
[18:54] <lucas__> ce qualche italiano?
[18:54] <Surlent777> Misha__: wow you just flew over my head and dropped a brick =O All I know is that I heard somewhere you could make it go straight to console with that line in GRUB
[18:54] <thopiekar-t91> hi is here someone that is using the psb drivers for gma500 on karmic?
[18:54] <lucas__> o bisogno di aiuto
[18:54] <guntbert> McL0VIN: what tool did you install?
[18:54] <guntbert> !it | lucas__
[18:55] <Misha__> Surlent: OK, you're probably right there...sorry for the bump in your head :) The latest Ubuntu distros do new, fancy things with their startup configurations, that's why I'm messed up!
[18:55] <guntbert> McL0VIN: (in windows I mean)
[18:56] <thopiekar-t91> just created a own ppa because the ubuntu mobile team doesn't want to create packages for karmic..
[18:56] <Surlent777> Misha__: It's probably the new fancy startup configs that are causing some of my services not to load properly =(
[18:56] <thopiekar-t91> https://launchpad.net/~thopiekar/+archive/poulsbo
[18:56] <thopiekar-t91> but it doesn't work somehow..
[18:56] <McL0VIN> guntbert: the first one in that link ...md5sum.exe
[18:56] <Misha__> Surlent: Might be...I guess this is what they call lifelong learning...!
[18:56] <Surlent777> Misha__: Feels more like lifelong headache at times =/
[18:56] <militant> hmmm this is interesting.  a machine that's had no problem booting off a usb stick to do an install before won't do it now, ona stick i used just yesterday to reinstall on another machine
[18:57] <Surlent777> militant: Try mounting the disk and then unmounting it...sometimes it's weird like that. I think that's one thing that worked for me
[18:58] <lucas__> heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

[18:58] <Shishire> is 10min+ expected to patch 88mb with a 5.5mb patch?
[18:58] <lucas__> help
[18:58] <militant> Surlent777, i popped it in the linux lappie here... i guess it mounted.  so now umount it and try it in the first box again?
[18:58] <Eruantalon> Surlent777, yeah.. too much Latex I guess. thanks
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> militant:  ive had various degrees of luck with differnet machines and different usb sticks.
[18:59] <Surlent777> militant: I mounted it normally and then unmounted it normally and that seemed to work
[18:59] <Surlent777> lucas__: #ubuntu-it
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> militant:  one box i got is very pucky and only boots from like 3 of my 5 usb sticks.. another machine likes a different set of the 3.
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> militant:  it seems my older usb sticks are more of an issue with the older boxs
[19:00] <militant> interesting.  my 2gb never complained.  the newer 4gb stick is the one with the issue... on an older athlon64 machine.
[19:01] <guntbert> McL0VIN: ok in that case my first link (http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/) is prrobably better - download the file MD5SUMS and start md5sum -c MD5SUMS
[19:01] <frostburn> militant, Dr_Willis, i had the same issue and found that some usb drives look like cd drives and other usb keys, go to your bios and put both above your hdd for boot order
[19:01] <militant> frostburn, tried that.
[19:01] <militant> thx tho
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> frostburn:  those U3 enabled flash drives DO actually show up as a cdrom and a usb disk. it can cause major conrusion.
[19:02] <guntbert> !ask | lucas__ (in english please)
[19:02] <militant> so if i have a 4gb  stick already prepared for an install, is there a quick/easy way to move it to the old 2gb that always worked?  my net is slow i dn't wanna dl it again
[19:02] <arleslie> Can someone tell me how I can get Ubuntu to detect my 3G USB Modem, I've gotten it to work two times in Ubuntu and thats all. But, it works all the time in windows and the device manager sees it.
[19:02] <militant> Dr_Willis, that maybe the issue.  it's a u3 but i used a tool to get rid of the u3 crap and the extra partition.  like i said it worked fine after that, on a newer machine but not on an older
[19:02] <Dr_Willis> militant:  what kind of install did you do to the 4gb?   live- usb-disk creator install?
[19:03] <Dr_Willis> I used good old fdisk to delete the u3 poo :)
[19:03] <iR00T> Can someone give me a original or there copy of sources.list for ubuntu 9.04
[19:03] <mMezquitale> erUSUL, thanks!  I figured it out, I just wonder if there is a way to make a folder invisible but I suppose that's too much to ask
[19:03] <militant> Dr_Willis, i'm trying to remember.  i think i just downloaded the regular 9.10 iso and used ... not unetbootin but the newer thing
[19:03] <lucas__> #ubuntu-it
[19:03] <Surlent777> mMezquitale: prefix a folder with a period to make it hidden
[19:03] <erUSUL> mMezquitale: define "invisible" files/dir that begin with a dot are invisible in linux
[19:03] <Dr_Willis> militant:  then its just a matter of copying over the files and reinstalling syslinux to the new flash drive
[19:03] <lucas__> help
[19:04] <lucas__> help in ubuntu
[19:04] <lucas__> help me
[19:04] <Surlent777> lucas__: /join #ubuntu-it
[19:04] <frostburn> arleslie, i'd check the ubuntu forums for your exact model of usb modem and see what other users have done
[19:04] <Dr_Willis> lucas__:  state the actual problem.
[19:04] <arleslie> militant:, Dr_Willis: U3 Ususally doesn't matter, but when you go to boot, you have to tell it to boot one of the U3 Partitions, (On the boot selection screen it'll display two)
[19:04] <McL0VIN> guntbert: and when you click on the MD5DUMS you can download it...because this is not the case here
[19:04] <lucas__> e come
[19:04] <legend2440> iroot
[19:04] <frostburn> i need to head out for a meeting but will be back later
[19:04] <mMezquitale> Surlent777, erUSUL i want to make a folder invisible to everyone else except me, is that possible?
[19:04] <Dr_Willis> arleslie:  i had issues just mounting u3 enabled flash drives. :) they dont stay u3 enabled bery long around me.

[19:04] <BruceW> Hello! I have a weird problem... using the internet connected with cable is extremely slow but using WiFI is fast how can this be?
[19:04] <erUSUL> mMezquitale: invisble or inaccessible ?
[19:05] <Guest40159> Hello - I am a little stuck. Having pressed (I think) ctrl+alt+f2, putting me in a fullscreen terminal, I haven't a clue how to get out again. Google doesn't help me. Is there some sort of key combination to return me to the GUI?
[19:05] <lucas__> config firefox link ed3k
[19:05] <lucas__> ed2k
[19:05] <militant> well what's happening is when i try to boot from it, syslinux comes up but it can't find kernel image
[19:05] <Surlent777> Guest40159: CtrlAltF7
[19:05] <BruceW> Hello! I have a weird problem... using the internet connected with cable is extremely slow but using WiFI is fast how can this be?
[19:05] <mMezquitale> erUSUL, both, inaccassible so they cant cd into it and better yet---invisible so they cant even see it
[19:06] <erUSUL> mMezquitale: to make it inaccssible give permissions only to the owner (you in this case) chmod -R 700 folder/
[19:06] <mMezquitale> erUSUL, i already figured out how to make it inaccessible
[19:06] <Surlent777> mMezquitale: then there's naught else you can do
[19:06] <militant> Dr_Willis, so if syslinux is coming up when i try to boot off the stick and it's just saying can't find kernel image... then what, i just need to redo syslinux on it?
[19:06] <Surlent777> mMezquitale: if they can't get into it, it doesn't matter if they can see the name or not
[19:06] <arleslie> Guest40159: Have you tried rebooting?
[19:07] <Surlent777> mMezquitale: though I think if you remove the executable permission from the folder they won't even be able to get a file listing
[19:07] <Guest40159> Aha - thankyou very much, Surlent777! That's extremely useful.
[19:07] <Surlent777> arleslie: no need to reboot. Just Ctrl+Alt+F7
[19:07] <iR00T> What do I need on this list the main repositors.?
[19:07] <sam_sam> i feel like being the second dumbest here ( ubottu is there :) )
[19:07] <Surlent777> Guest40159: those terminals are called TTYs, and they're incredibly useful. You have six of them (F1-F6)
[19:07] <g0tcha> hey guys, how can i make sure a package has been installed successfully through terminal?
[19:07] <McL0VIN> guntbert: but it saves it as .txt not md5
[19:07] <Dr_Willis> militant:  make a proper syslinux.cfg for it to use
[19:08] <Dr_Willis> militant:  or fix the one its has
[19:08] <militant> yeah i'm reading a page on it now.  i think we have this licked.  thx :D
[19:08] <mMezquitale> Surlent777, yes I changed permissions to 700, i was just wondering if it was possible to make it invisible so no one would even know it's there but it looks like if I make it invisible I wont be able to see it either
[19:08] <guntbert> McL0VIN: doesn't matter - you can use md5sum -c MD5SUM.txt as well
[19:08] <rb___> When I type vncserver :1 it does not request a password?
[19:08] <rb___> I had tightvnc before but deleted it

[19:09] <BruceW> is there a way to get hold of an older version of amarok? I really liked amarok when I Had Hardy Heron
[19:09] <Surlent777> BruceW: Google it. Someone has a special repo for it
[19:09] <Guest40159> Ah, very nice. Thanks, for the tip. Now let's see if I can work out what I was doing before I started pressing key combinations...
[19:11] <rb___> When I type vncserver :1 it does not request a password?
[19:11] <mMezquitale> Surlent777, thanks for the tip, novice ubuntu users  GUI only wont know that though
[19:11] <Pure> What version would be best for purely CLI?
[19:11] <Jkessler> what's the name for the next LTS release?

[19:12] <jarco> why is ctrl + alt + backspace not working anymore in ubuntu 9.10?
[19:12] <Pici> !dontzap | jarco
[19:12] <militant> hmmm everything looks proper in syslinux.cfg and text.cfg.  still no workie.  *scratches head*
[19:12] <iceroot> jarco: because it is dangerous
[19:13] <Surlent777> jarco: because the devs hate us, or want people to learn how to use Alt+SysRq+K...that's my guess anyway
[19:13] <legend2440> jarco: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-enabledisable-ctrlaltbackspace-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html
[19:13] <Surlent777> Pici: dontzap no longer exists
[19:13] <Pici> Surlent777: That wiki page addresses that.
[19:13] <adam_g> hi, is there a way to AVOID updating grub2/bootloader during the first apt-get upgrade after initial install? (9.10)
[19:13] <Surlent777> ah, alright
[19:14] <Surlent777> adam_g: you could lock the version...easily done with Synaptic
[19:14] <jarco> ok thanks all it will be fixed soon
[19:14] <adam_g> Surlent777, its not that i care if the version is upgrade but i dont want it running reconfiguring/installing the actual bootloader.. ie, whatever post scripts apt-get runs after upgrade
[19:15] <jarco> thx all it works now :)
[19:15] <arleslie> I'm having issues with the diskcheck thing on the boot up. It keeps freezing when it goes to check.
[19:15] <recmajkemi> what is the firestarter .folder?
[19:15] <Surlent777> adam_g  hm, that could be an issue when installing kernels...guess you'd need to lock those too?
[19:15] <Pici> adam_g: Is there a reason you don't want it doing that?
[19:15] <Surlent777> adam_g: I think it only updates GRUB when it's relevent to the upgrade
[19:16] <iceroot> adam_g: the postinst-scripts from the packages
[19:17] <eddym> hey all, that swap space partition can be deleted once ubuntu is up and running?
[19:17] <adam_g> Pici, im running on on a macbook pro and i dont fully understand efi + grub2 bootloading.. i do know, though, that ubuntu installs it correctly first but any apt-get upgrade installs some other way which doesnt work
[19:17] <coreyB> hey is there anyway to get gtk-recordmydesktop to record what i hear on my computer?
[19:17] <iceroot> eddym: if there is nothing in swap, yes, maybe its needing umount before? dont know if swap is a munt
[19:18] <iceroot> eddym: s/munt/mount

[19:21] <Surlent777> rb___: to completely delete a folder, use rm -rf /path/to/directory
[19:22] <Surlent777> ESphynx: because you don't have special proprietary drivers. Go to System > Admin > Restricted drivers
[19:22] <ESphynx> Desktop effects could not be enabked
[19:22] <iceroot> Lostinspace_46: why using []?
[19:22] <trism> Lostinspace_46: assuming it is a deb package, did you forget the .deb?
[19:22] <ESphynx> Restricted drivers? I dont have that
[19:22] <ESphynx> I have Proprietary Drivers
[19:22] <iceroot> Lostinspace_46: and what is bzr?
[19:22] <Surlent777> do that then
[19:22] <ESphynx> uh Harware Drivers
[19:22] <ESphynx> I mean... but nothing in there
[19:22] <Surlent777> or that

[19:24] <Petrushka> i have been having a weird problem with ubuntu
[19:24] <Petrushka> i put ubuntu on one of my desktops about 6 months ago
[19:24] <Petrushka> and ever since then i have been having a lot of trouble with my cable internet going out
[19:24] <Petrushka> where i would have to reboot the cable modem to get it to come back, and sometimes it wouldn't come back
[19:24] <iceroot> Lostinspace_46: also use tab for commands like that  try cp startofthefilename then press tab
[19:24] <Lostinspace_46> trism The command should move my .deb files to the specified dir. It is from this tut. http://mediakey.dk/~cc/howto-create-your-own-debian-or-ubuntu-package-repository/
[19:24] <Petrushka> but i blamed the cable company, never the ubuntu box
[19:24] <steveo> I'm running 9.10 UNR and want to switch permanently to classic 9.10.  Can I just reinstall Ubuntu on the same partition as UNR to replace it?
[19:25] <steveo> or is there a quicker way?
[19:25] <Petrushka> then i took that computer down to my parents house and put it on their DSL, which has historically been very stable
[19:25] <arleslie> Is it better to update everything then upgrade to 9.10 UNR or just upgrade to 9.10UNR
[19:25] <Petrushka> and they started having the exact same problem
[19:25] <amites> anyone here worked with restoring grub2? Pulled a couple extra hard drives that were no longer needed and had to re-install grub2 from a live cd, now the box is booting directly to a grub bash prompt - wondering if I can restore the system or if I'll need to re-install
[19:25] <Petrushka> anybody have an idea what could cause that?
[19:25] <trism> Lostinspace_46: in that tutorial, the file ends in .deb (as do all deb packages)

[19:25] <Lostinspace_46> iceroot> You are right about the quotes, my bad. I don't think I can tab this command though.
[19:25] <iceroot> Lostinspace_46: of course you can
[19:25] <mMezquitale> erUSUL, do I need to give write permission in order to be able to use the sticky bit?
[19:26] <iceroot> Lostinspace_46: try less /etc/de then press tab to see /etc/debian_version
[19:26] <erUSUL> mMezquitale: you have to be able to writte to change permissions

[19:33] <yeason> I'm sure I missed something but google didn't help, what's the syntax for starting a program from shell and forcing it to start on another display? I want to start a program through ssh but have it appear on the remote display. I thought something like "program :0" was supposed to do that
[19:33] <amites> steveo: probably ~ if your not worried about saving your setttings then you can do a fresh install ~ otherwise shouldn't be an issue basically installing a copy of gnome with the Ubuntu package
[19:33] <msconfing1> :DDD
[19:33] <Dr_Willis> The program 'pecl' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[19:33] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get install php-pear
[19:34] <guntbert> McL0VIN: about what iso are we talking again?

[19:35] <nahs> 9.04 > 9.10
[19:35] <Dravekx> I will reinstall it
[19:35] <Surlent777> Pure: I think Ubuntu Cloud is some sort of store space/date sync thing
[19:35] <msconfing1> co mow po polsku to cie zrozumiem hahaha!!!
[19:35] <Dravekx> nahs < 9.10
[19:35] <Pure> Can I install server from CLI?

[19:36] <soks> I changed my scaling_governor to performance (defaults to ondemand on my Intel Core2 Quad) and after some time it seems to change itself back (no reboot). I checked my logs and I don't see any events for this happening so I don't know what's cuasing it. Any ideas? My guess is it might be the bios changing it back (got that idea from intel's documents on the kernel). Eh?
[19:36] <acovrig> if I run firefox (via ssh -X) and close my -X on the client, can I reconnect?
[19:36] <msconfing1> okej sprawdze na stronie ubuntu .pl
[19:36] <Pure> I'm at the text installer, it doesn't work
[19:36] <acovrig> I tried screen, but I get "Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :10.0
[19:37] <Pure> Can I install from the console?
[19:37] <arleslie> How do I disable housekeeping or configure what all it does?
[19:37] <lucy_> I've made a live usb stick but when trying to boot from it, it drops to boot:
[19:37] <Surlent777> well, thanks for the suggestions, Pelo...I'll try googling to see if I can get rid of a hibernation image somehow =/
[19:37] <lucy_> stating it cannot find 'linux'
[19:37] <msconfing1> na tej stronie nic nie ma ale jea sie zara wkurze
[19:37] <Dravekx> sudo pecl install pdo WORKED.. now ubuntu is sitting there looking at me stupid.
[19:37] <Pure> What is the command for install?
[19:37] <guntbert> McL0VIN: well I don't see a reason why it should not work - but its always better to test and check - so I advice to burn that iso, boot from it, check the "correctness" of the CD and then "try ubuntu" without installing anything
[19:38] <iceroot> Pure: for installing what?
[19:38] <viktor> hi anyone know how to add the Stock Prices to the Panel in xubuntu?
[19:38] <Pure> Ubuntu server from console
[19:38] <samd> hi, my laptop clock with ubuntu delays, i know its not the cmos battery because it does not delays when the computer its turned off. anyone know what it could be?
[19:38] <Lostinspace_46> trism> In this cmnd, "cp src/bzr_0.11-1.1_all.deb public_html/my-repository/binary/" is bzr_0.11-1.1_all.deb the actual name of the bzr pkg?
[19:38] <acovrig> ?
[19:38] <iceroot> Pure: ubuntu-server from console?
[19:38] <iceroot> Pure: ubuntu server is a version of ubuntu
[19:38] <Dravekx> sudo pecl install pdo just gives me an epmty prompt.. why?
[19:38] <msconfing1> dobra jak nikt nie odwazy sie odezwac po polsku to wylanczam ten mini czt !!!
[19:38] <NateW> i have an i7 with 9gb of ram and 9.10 keeps freezing except for the mouse.. i did a fresh install and the problem continued.. i have absolutely no issues on win7...  any ideas?
[19:38] <iceroot> Pure: its a iso-image, so burn it and boot it
[19:39] <Pure> And how do I install it from the console?
[19:39] <Dravekx> oh there it does
[19:39] <arleslie> Thanks Myrtti
[19:39] <Dravekx> geez... talk about lag
[19:39] <Pure> I'm at the text installer, but it's borkerd
[19:39] <NateW> also right before it freezes, anything i save gets saved as an empty file (0 bytes)
[19:39] <iceroot> Pure: download ubuntu server edition iso
[19:39] <Myrtti> msconfing1: please feel free to tell me in pm when you're up to some English communication
[19:39] <trism> Lostinspace_46: yes, I think the author is just using it as an example, I'm sure you can use any packages you want
[19:39] <iceroot> Pure: if there are errors post them here
[19:40] <McL0VIN> guntbert: i tried it this morning but i am getting the same as this guy except he is using server version, but same symptoms http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=334823 #3
[19:40] <Pure> There aren't asny errors, I can't see the text installer it's a load of |
[19:40] <soks> Anyone familiar with scaling_governor settings? Particularly with them changing on their own (not CPU speed but actual governor changing on its own)
[19:40] <iceroot> Pure: you are using server-edition 9.10?
[19:40] <iceroot> Pure: burnt that to a cd and boot the cd?
[19:40] <Pure> I've booted it!
[19:41] <Pure> I AM AT THE TEXT INSTALLER!!!
[19:41] <iceroot> Pure: and there way a menu "install, memtest and so on?"
[19:41] <Pure> I PRESSED IMSTALL UBUNTU SERVER
[19:41] <Pure> AND GOT TO THE TEXT INSTALLER
[19:41] <Myrtti> Pure: please lose the caps
[19:41] <iceroot> Pure: stop shouting at me
[19:41] <Pici> Pure: Lose the caps and the attiude
[19:41] <Pure> Sorry
[19:42] <acovrig> can I move a window between X displays?
[19:42] <NateW> anyone having issues with an i7 in 9.10 amd64?
[19:42] <iceroot> Pure: and after pressing on text-installer nothing happened?
[19:42] <Pure> So, apart from the text installer, how can I install?
[19:43] <soks> NateW: mine freezes randomly sometimes, but I never traced it to an issue with the i7.
[19:43] <Pure> As I said it looks like |s
[19:43] <Pure> Every cell
[19:44] <iceroot> Pure: tried the cd check in the menu when booting the cd?
[19:44] <NateW> soks: im just trying to figure out whats going on.. i will be working on something and everything will freeze except for the mouse.. (but i cant click on anything).. CTRL + ALT + F# doesnt do anything either
[19:44] <Pure> We did that with the client, yet it did nothing
[19:44] <Lostinspace_46> trism> Well I have a newer version of bzr. .deb is no where in the name.  If I understand the tut, this "cp src/bzr_0.11-1.1_all.deb public_html/my-repository/binary/' Is supposed to find all my .deb files and put them in one dir
[19:44] <iceroot> Lostinspace_46: cp is copy
[19:45] <trism> Lostinspace_46: that is not what that command does at all, it copies 1 deb file (bzr-version.deb) into that directory
[19:45] <iceroot> Lostinspace_46: nothing else
[19:45] <guntbert> McL0VIN: did you try the solutions from #5 ?
[19:45] <iceroot> Lostinspace_46: also you are using the wrong path i guess
[19:46] <Pure> Do you want a screen?
[19:46] <iceroot> Lostinspace_46: or is src pat of your home-directory?
[19:46] <iceroot> Pure: no infos like what version of ubuntu
[19:46] <soks> Pure: if you can't get the CD check to work... I wouldn't expect the installer to work either.
[19:46] <acovrig> how do I scroll up in irssi?
[19:46] <Lostinspace_46> ice, no it is not
[19:46] <McL0VIN> guntbert: am not around the server now , will be in 5 hrs...but will do when i go home
[19:46] <Guest65472> I need to move an ubuntu install from a bigger hd to a smaller one, id like to put the OS on the small drive, and keep files on the large one, how do I go about this?
[19:46] <Pure> Ubuntu Server 9.10 running on VBox
[19:46] <iceroot> acovrig: depending on your terminal  normally page up
[19:46] <guntbert> McL0VIN: please do try - and Good luck :-)
[19:46] <iceroot> Pure: ah ok enabled vt-x in vbox?
[19:47] <acovrig> iceroot, it just scrolls the page, not irssi, thanks
[19:47] <McL0VIN> guntbert: thank you for all you help and your patient :)
[19:47] <trism> Lostinspace_46: what exactly are you trying to do?
[19:47] <iceroot> Pure: there was a bug in vbox which cant handle unbuntu-server because of a vt-x bug in vbox
[19:47] <iceroot> acovrig: the page?
[19:47] <Pure> It didn't show the gui on client either
[19:47] <Pure> It showed alot of multicoloured, durses sized cells
[19:47] <Lostinspace_46> trism> could you msg me, because it's a long answer?
[19:48] <iceroot> Pure: what ubuntu-server? 32 bit or 64bit?
[19:48] <iceroot> Pure: using hardware virtualisation? (vt-x or amd-v)
[19:48] <Pure> No
[19:48] <trism> Lostinspace_46: I'd rather not, I was just curious
[19:48] <Pure> Wait, let me check
[19:48] <iceroot> Pure: no is not an answer to that question
[19:49] <Guest65472> I need to move an ubuntu install from a bigger hd to a smaller one, id like to put the OS on the small drive, and keep files on the large one, how do I go about this?
[19:49] <Pure> It is

[19:49] <guntbert> McL0VIN: np - glad to help

[19:49] <Guest65472> iceroot, really just my /home/music /home/videos /home/downloads
[19:49] <Pure> I answered agian
[19:49] <Pure> It is on
[19:49] <iceroot> Pure: is it 32bit or 64bit? you answerd no and then it is
[19:49] <Guest65472> iceroot, i have a 320gb wd, that has the os and files now, but i heard using a big sata drive for main OS will cause it to fail
[19:49] <Shazam> is palimpsest in apt? what repo?
[19:49] <Pure> Should it be off?
[19:50] <Pure> 32
[19:50] <Pure> I read hardware virtulization
[19:50] <iceroot> Pure: is that the vbox from ubuntu-repo?
[19:50] <maciekish> Hello!
[19:50] <Pure> iceroot, no, it's on vista
[19:50] <iceroot> Shazam: apt-cache search palimpset
[19:50] <Kieran0413> Guest65472, Who told you that? :S
[19:51] <Novice> Anyone know if hardy supports ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64 ?
[19:51] <iceroot> Pure: ah ok, so vista is the host
[19:51] <maciekish> Could someone please help me make lynx browse via eth0 instead of eth1 please? Im updating my IP to zoneedit via cron job but it keeps pulling wrong IP..
[19:51] <Guest65472> Kieran0413, been reading about hd's recently, seen it in a few places that say if your going to run a home media server to try to put the os on a smaller seperate drive
[19:51] <Pure> Is VT-x bad?
[19:51] <iceroot> Pure: no
[19:51] <viktor> anyone know how to get the "stock price panel" to xubuntu?
[19:51] <Shazam> iceroot: comes back with nothing. Do you know the repo?
[19:51] <Pure> What would cause the wierd anomalies?
[19:51] <Guest65472> iceroot, can I shrink the partition on live-cd and dd it to a new hd?
[19:51] <m0ar_> My ubuntu is actin bitchy, when my external USb-drive loses power it's unable to be mounted. It's not in /dev, but dmesg | grep sdb outputs this; http://pastebin.com/m25c2e256. Appreciate help
[19:51] <iceroot> !info palimpset
[19:52] <Kieran0413> Guest65472, It's never a bad idea to separate the os files and media but having the operating system on a large sata drive certainly wont cause it to fail
[19:52] <Lostinspace_46> trism> I am setting up a repository. Rather that fight dependencies with a "from site" pkg I want to repackage them as debs so I can use the deb installer. Doing this is all new to me, but...gotta learn sometime.
[19:52] <iceroot> Shazam: its not on ubuntu-repos
[19:52] <Guest65472> Kieran0413, alright. im just needing to know the best way to go about this then, i have several machines and a live-cd avalable.
[19:52] <iceroot> Guest65472: yes, i would also use dd for that
[19:52] <trism> Lostinspace_46: you don't need your own repo to install debs
[19:53] <Guest65472> iceroot, so if i copy the files off, i should be able to run a live-cd and shrink the partition to the size of the new drive?
[19:53] <iceroot> Guest65472: dd has an option for copieind bigger drives to smaller drives
[19:53] <guntbert> Shazam:  its gnome-disk-utility
[19:53] <Pure> Good image host anyone?
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> Guest65472:  the 'fsarchiver' tool can helo archive/mirror/clone a drive to a larger/smaller drive. but its not in the default repos.
[19:53] <iceroot> Guest65472: have a look at man dd
[19:53] <Zhenya> Hi everyone, I am a total newb and want to install a linux distro. I think Ubuntu is the best for me, and I like the way gnome looks. Can someone direct me if the windows installer is a good tool to use?
[19:53] <trism> Lostinspace_46: setting up your own repository is more so other people can have access to your packages, or if you want a local mirror to save bandwidth
[19:54] <Dr_Willis> Zhenya:  i would avoid the 'wubi' windows installer. and do a normal dual boot type install.
[19:54] <Guest65472> iceroot, ok, i thought dd could only do it the other way around
[19:54] <iceroot> Guest65472: hm i think it can do both
[19:54] <Myrtti> Zhenya: if you just want to test it, then yes, it's ok. If you want to use it full time, then use the real installer
[19:54] <Lostinspace_46> trism> Well..DUH. Just didn't cross my mind that I could just repack and use deb installer
[19:54] <Zhenya> Dr_Willis: Are there guides for this? i have an thinkpad t41 and would LOVE dual boot for learning purpopes and then switch eventually to only linux!
[19:54] <DrMax> is there a way to transfer all contents of a (exchange) mail account to another with evolution ?
[19:55] <Shazam> guntbert: sudo apt-cache search gnome-disk-utility returns nothing either
[19:55] <Lostinspace_46> trism> Forrest for the trees kind of thing.
[19:55] <Shazam> apt-get install doesn't know that one either
[19:55] <iceroot> DrMax: only mails?
[19:55] <iceroot> DrMax: then imapsync
[19:55] <DrMax> well, subfolder and all?
[19:55] <Pure> http://tinypic.com/r/20t2o3r/6
[19:55] <Dr_Willis> Zhenya:  the normal installer method can resize/do a dual boot install. thats the most common way
[19:55] <DrMax> iceroot : ok, how does that work ?
[19:55] <Pure> Is that normal?
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> Zhenya:  befor you start you may want to defrag/scandisk/backup anything you got in windows.. Just in case
[19:56] <Deathvalley122> I have a question after me submitting a bug report and getting loads of replies on it shouldn't it be enough for the developers to have a fix for it O.o
[19:56] <DrMax> and it's not imap, but (ms) exchange
[19:56] <Zhenya> Dr_Willis: OK GREAT doing that first then
[19:56] <guntbert> Shazam: just try sudo aptitude (or apt-get) install gnome-disk-utility
[19:56] <iceroot> DrMax:man imapsync   you are calling it like that imapsync username password old-account username password new-account
[19:56] <Zhenya> DrMax: and download the regular installer
[19:56] <Zhenya> Dr_Willis: i will be back! thanks
[19:56] <iceroot> DrMax: exchange is not using imap?
[19:57] <dan2> how do I get the latency of pulseaudio turned way down?
[19:57] <Shazam> guntbert: E: Couldn't find package gnome-disk-utility
[19:57] <DrMax> iceroot : hmm don't know?
[19:57] <Pure> iceroot, http://tinypic.com/r/20t2o3r/6 is it normal?
[19:57] <guntbert> Shazam: sudo aptitude update
[19:58] <Shazam> guntbert: done, still nada
[19:58] <iceroot> Pure: of course not
[19:58] <guntbert> Shazam: what ubuntu version?
[19:58] <Pure> Any reason it would happen?
[19:58] <iceroot> Pure: but i dont know vbox version for vista
[19:58] <Pure> One second
[19:58] <Zhenya> is kde a good desktop manager to use with ubuntu?
[19:58] <Shazam> guntbert: 9.04. I've had some problems with 9.10
[19:59] <Pure> 3.12
[19:59] <iceroot> Zhenya: yes like gnome, xfce4 and so on
[19:59] <Quasar1048> Does anyone how do configure macro keys with the Logitech G series keyboards?
[19:59] <Pure> iceroot,  3.12
[19:59] <Pure> Make that 3.1.2
[19:59] <iceroot> Pure: i wanted to say, i never used vbox on vista so i dont know if there are bugs
[19:59] <Zhenya> iceroot: gotcha, i'm a newb and just trying to find the most visually pleasing interface, just so sick of windows
[19:59] <Quasar1048> The software doesn't seem to work...
[19:59] <jrib> Quasar1048: if xev tells you something is pressed, just use xbindkeys
[19:59] <iceroot> Zhenya: visual? then use kde4
[19:59] <guntbert> Shazam: that explains a bit - I have to do some looking up
[20:00] <Zhenya> Dr_Willis: can i use the regular installer on ubuntu without burning a cd?
[20:00] <Shazam> guntbert: my sources.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/353607/
[20:00] <Zhenya> iceroot: ok great thanks!
[20:00] <CodAr2D3> Ubuntu-8.10 should update with this: http://debian.cs.binghamton.edu/debian/pool/main/g/gadmin-proftpd/gadmin-proftpd_0.3.8-1_amd64.deb
[20:00] <Izinucs> Is there a tool installed or available to adjust the "tap" sensitivity of a touchpad on a Dell laptop?
[20:00] <iceroot> Zhenya: try it with a live-cd to see if you like kde or gnome
[20:00] <Quasar1048> jrib: not familiar with xev...
[20:00] <iceroot> Zhenya: or use vbox
[20:00] <jrib> Quasar1048: run it, press buttons with mouse in square...
[20:00] <Quasar1048> The g keys do something if pressed...
[20:00] <Zhenya> iceroot: any chance you could walk me through this so i dont screw it up and learn :D?
[20:00] <jrib> !synaptics | Izinucs
[20:00] <jrib> iceroot: no idea, but see if there's a setting there
[20:01] <Quasar1048> Oh. I heard compiz can do it too...
[20:01] <jrib> Izinucs: no idea, but see if there's a setting there
[20:01] <Izinucs> jrib thanks... didn't know about that link
[20:01] <iceroot> Zhenya: download the cd, burn it, put it in the drive, boot from it, choose live cd and have fun
[20:01] <jrib> Izinucs: you probably want to read some reference docs on synaptics even if that wiki page doesn't mention anything about sensitivity
[20:01] <Zhenya> iceroot: I dont have an blank cd's. any way to do this from a usb stick?
[20:01] <iceroot> !usb | Zhenya
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> Zeit|awy:  you can make a usb boot/installer
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> oops that was for Zhenya
[20:02] <Izinucs> jrib  ... probably should have mentioned .. this is on a Kubuntu 9.10 install (converting a windows user :)  )
[20:02] <Zhenya> ubottu: thank you
[20:03] <Dr_Willis> Zhenya:  use the unetbootin tool under windows to make a bootable flash drive to install from. Is how i normally do it
[20:03] <Izinucs> jrib  should have read further.. there's a kde version
[20:03] <wqing> I have a dell laptop with a docking station and an additional monitor for dual head. I can't figure out how to get panels to show on the additional monitor. I they only show on the laptop. (ubuntu 9.10 gnome)
[20:03] <guntbert> Shazam: palimpsest aka gnome-disk-utility is new in karmic - I found a description how to install it, but I don't know if that will really work out for you - no recommendation :-) http://www.webupd8.org/2009/08/how-to-install-palimpsest-disk-utility.html
[20:03] <Quasar1048> Ah, jrib left... anyone else know about macro keys and xev?
[20:03] <Zhenya> Dr_Willis: wow ok i need to make sure i dont get in over my head :D
[20:04] <Timon> someone here want to help me with running a program in wine?
[20:04] <Shazam> guntbert: Alright, thanks, that does explain the mystery. I've got HD Sentinel running on boot, that'll do
[20:04] <Shazam> guntbert: thanks a ton though
[20:04] <Timon> trying to run photoshop CS4 setup, but just nothing happens when i open the setup with wine
[20:04] <guntbert> Shazam: you're welcome :-)
[20:05] <Um_cara_qualquer> does anybody knows how i convert mp4 to avi?
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> Zhenya:  you could just follow directions at pendrivelinux.com and run/use ubuntu from the flash drive. No need to install. or test it out in 'virtualbox'
[20:05] <Zhenya> Dr_Willis: Anyone here using Ubuntu on a thinkpad t41 (or similar?)
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> Um_cara_qualquer:  avidemux, winff, mencoder, ffmpeg, handbrake....
[20:06] <Dr_Willis> Zhenya:  i recall there being many forum threads/sections for thinkpads
[20:06] <Um_cara_qualquer> which one you recomend?
[20:06] <Um_cara_qualquer> :P
[20:06] <hellyeah> jbh
[20:06] <Zhenya> Dr_Willis: i found a wiki site but wanted to get a general concensus if everything actually worked like the volume buttons etc
[20:07] <Dr_Willis> Zhenya:  wiki pages and forums wouel proberly be best for that.
[20:07] <yeason> Zhenya: I'm using a thinkpad X60 and the volume buttons, brightness, and sleep I believe worked out of the box with 9.10
[20:07] <haresh> need some help why my computer lag ?? i am  on 1.25 gb ram

[20:08] <meowsus> I'm using Pidgin, and consistently hit the "X" to minimize the Buddy List to the tray... Unfortunately, the "X" closes the program. Is there a plugin or something that will make the "X" button react the way i want?

[20:15] <cyberbrain> is there a way to specify maximum network traffic for specific IP in local network...using ubuntu off course!???
[20:16] <Zhenya> Can i instal  KDE on ubuntu, there is no known build on their site?
[20:16] <KennyDewhirst> guntbert: okay. I'll tell you in just a sec
[20:16] <guntbert> itrf96: #ubuntuone
[20:16] <wathek> I got a problem my external USB DD has been disconnected accidentally but when I replugged it fdisk -l tells me that the HD exists and shows me its partions but I cannot get the dev file under /dev
[20:16] <KennyDewhirst> guntbert: It's Hardy, 8.04
[20:17] <haresh> now itis load average: 1.63, 2.84, 2.96

[20:20] <haresh> pfred1, thanks for your help
[20:20] <pfred1> haresh enjoy
[20:21] <KennyDewhirst> guntbert: 2.6.24-26-generic. That's the one it's stuck on installing
[20:21] <Dr_Willis> wathek:  it might be safest to reboot and scan/check the filesystems.
[20:22] <wathek> Dr_Willis, after a reboot everything back right but I've to force the reboot and I'm looking for a way to solve it without a reboot
[20:22] <guntbert> KennyDewhirst: thats the latest for hardy see http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-updates/base/
[20:23] <KennyDewhirst> guntbert: That's the one it's trying to update to. It's sticking on the configuration.
[20:23] <pfred1> wathek you could drop to runlevel 1 unmount your / then run fsck
[20:23] <silvercolacola> hey
[20:23] <silvercolacola> I got A QUESTINO
[20:23] <BruceW> !runlevel
[20:23] <wathek> pfred1, why do I've to run fsck ?
[20:23] <silvercolacola> My friend said 9.10 was made for net books is this true
[20:23] <nightsjammies> eeebuntu is made for netbooks
[20:24] <pfred1> wathek oh my mistake I thought you wanted to check your filesystem
[20:24] <guntbert> KennyDewhirst: no - you are actually running that one - believe me
[20:24] <nightsjammies> You can upgrade from eeebuntu 3.0 to 9.10
[20:24] <silvercolacola> is 9.10 faster than 9.04
[20:24] <yeason> Zhenya: sorry I disappeared. as far as linux over XP there's trade-offs as with any situation. KDE vs. Gnome is mainly preference. In my experience linux tends to be quicker and more reliable that windows in general
[20:24] <silvercolacola> because I running it for gaming and I think 9.04 is faster
[20:24] <wathek> how can I what process is using one module ?
[20:25] <KennyDewhirst> guntbert: Okay. apt is complaining at me, anyway. Am I doing something wrong?
[20:25] <silvercolacola> why can't I run l4d2 on steam without getting a compresion texture error on linux 9.10
[20:25] <Zhenya> yeason: Thank you for your input, i'm going to do a livecd and play around with it. Do you know if it's possible to install kde on ubunuto 9.10 on a livecd?
[20:25] <guntbert> KennyDewhirst: I don't know - what is it complaining about?
[20:26] <Dr_Willis> Zhenya:  theres Kubuntu live cd's
[20:26] <KennyDewhirst> guntbert: Errors were encountered while processing:
[20:26] <KennyDewhirst>  linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-26-generic
[20:26] <KennyDewhirst>  linux-image-generic
[20:26] <KennyDewhirst>  linux-generic
[20:26] <FloodBot3> KennyDewhirst: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:26] <Zhenya> is that what kubuntu is?
[20:26] <silvercolacola> dude why do i get a texture compression error
[20:26] <yeason> Zhenya: yes
[20:26] <Zhenya> yeason: hahah ok i'm an idiot, thanks guys
[20:26] <guntbert> KennyDewhirst: use !pastebin
[20:26] <pfred1> I hate the KDE that ships with 9.10
[20:26] <yeason> Zhenya: ubuntu uses gnome, kubuntu uses kde, and xubuntu uses xfce
[20:27] <Zhenya> which one of the desktopmangers is the slickest and sexiest(god i sound like such a n00b)
[20:27] <KennyDewhirst> guntbert: Those are the only three packages it's complaining about.
[20:27] <iceroot> Zhenya: try them
[20:27] <yeason> Zhenya: Once again its preference. KDE and Gnome are both fairly equivalent in features
[20:27] <Zhenya> gotcha ok
[20:27] <pfred1> yeason the menu in KDE is so nasty now!
[20:27] <happy_> Zhenya: KDE, KDE, KDE
[20:28] <pfred1> yeason and this is coming from someone that ran KDE 3.1 for like 5 years!
[20:28] <Dr_Willis> the next release of kde4 - has some very neat features. :)
[20:28] <Zhenya> happy_: thats what i've been seeing fromthe screen shot
[20:28] <silvercolacola> omg
[20:28] <guntbert> KennyDewhirst: but it tells you a bit more I think... - if you like you can ignore the errors ...
[20:28] <pfred1> yeason so its not like I'm not a huge fan of KDE
[20:28] <silvercolacola> I am angry!!!!!!!!!!!!1er
[20:28] <guntbert> !attitude | silvercolacola
[20:28] <silvercolacola> I installed ubunto 9.10
[20:28] <silvercolacola> I did the winehq thing
[20:28] <happy_> Zhenya: this is probably when I should have ubottu tell you about polling...
[20:28] <silvercolacola> Ubunto can't run cod6
[20:29] <silvercolacola> or any game
[20:29] <KennyDewhirst> guntbert: i'll give you the whole output. It's on my dad's notebook. I think it's been bothering him for a while
[20:29] <silvercolacola> why not!!!
[20:29] <ikonia> silvercolacola: ubuntu is linux, most games are written for windows
[20:29] <silvercolacola> anyone please tell me I going insane
[20:29] <happy_> !poll > Zhenya
[20:29] <silvercolacola> I did the winehq thing so i could do it
[20:29] <guntbert> KennyDewhirst: ok, be sure to use pastebin please
[20:29] <ikonia> silvercolacola: wine does not support all games - that's not a linux problem, that's a wine issue
[20:29] <Zhenya> happy_: lol yeah, lol. That's a pretty impressive bot
[20:29] <KennyDewhirst> guntbert: I'll be good
[20:30] <Zhenya> ubottu: you are a impressive but :P
[20:30] <Zhenya> *bot
[20:30] <usser> silvercolacola, wine is not perfect, might not run ALL windows apps especially the newer ones
[20:30] <arbri> im trying to mount a virtual disk, but there are some directories and files i cant access
[20:30] <flithm> hey everyone... just trying out amarok here.  Oddly it plays internet radio streams, but not local mp3s.  Anyone have any ideas for me?
[20:30] <KennyDewhirst> guntbert: oh, I'm dumb. Gzip is complaining that the disk is full
[20:31] <pinkisntwell> is it possible that the root user will be denied to change the owner of a file?
[20:31] <KennyDewhirst> guntbert: I'll send you the rest of it if you're interested, but I'm gonna try clearing out some files and seeing if that fixes is
[20:32] <happy_> pinkisntwell: that does not sound right. SELinux MIGHT be able to do it...
[20:32] <azlon> when i try to mount my RAID5 i get this error: http://pastebin.com/d9cf6c64
[20:32] <arbri> anyone has any ideas how i can mount this virtual file so that i can access all of it contents
[20:32] <guntbert> KennyDewhirst: I guess that will be the issue - no need for the file if you found it yourself - Good luck :-)
[20:32] <spartan-087> i can not burn a copy of ubuntu 9.10 iso to cd, it burns and all but will not install to any computer
[20:32] <spartan-087> can some one help
[20:33] <KennyDewhirst> guntbert: Thanks. Have a good day.
[20:33] <Kieran0413> spartan-087, Check the md5 sum of the iso to make sure it's ok and make sure you check "verify when complete" or similar in your burning application
[20:33] <azlon> for some reason i cant mount my raid. /proc/mdstat says it is fine but i get this error when i try to mount it: http://pastebin.com/d432fb94f
[20:33] <guntbert> KennyDewhirst: same to you
[20:33] <Shazam> can I use gparted to resize a mounted logical partition safely?
[20:34] <ikonia> Shazam: can't resize mounted partitions
[20:34] <guntbert> Shazam: not if anything within is mounted - you will need a live CD
[20:34] <zafer> spartan ı think u do wrong
[20:35] <guntbert> arbri: about what virtual disk are you talking?
[20:35] <KnifeySpooney> I have a quick question - I have a cpu that can handle 64bit Ubuntu, but I only have 1GB of ram. Would using 64bit Ubuntu make ANY difference whatsoever except for allowing me to run both 64bit and 32bit executables?
[20:35] <arbri> virtual disk created with wubi
[20:35] <yeason> pfred1: oh, I know, I hate it now too... it's gotten better since the latest major release, but it really isn't what it once was
[20:36] <pfred1> yeason I tried using it but I just couldn't handle what they'd done with the menus I hate gnome but here i am in it!
[20:37] <malloc64> i was trying to upgrade from jaunty to karmic with do-release-upgrade and it froze up. i ctrl-c'd and now i cant do anything because debconf frontend is still running. sudo kill -9 PID isn't killing it. help please.
[20:37] <yeason> pfred1 I felt the same way about gnome but being somewhat 'forced' to use it I've found I'm starting to like it more than KDE... at least as far as current versions go
[20:38] <arbri> ive installed ubuntu 9.10 inside windows 7 but bcause i updated to the latest linux headers i cant boot ubuntu anymore, so im trying to get my data back, mounting the virtual disk from a live cd, it seems though i cant access certain files or directories
[20:38] <pfred1> yeason yeah I see no viable alternative now

[20:40] <kaku> jh
[20:40] <kaku> dzięn dobry
[20:40] <thoriumchameleon> skype doesn't support it yet
[20:40] <guntbert> !pl | kaku
[20:40] <yeason> guntbert: no offense but we're not entirely off topic... would this not be a good place to discuss alternative window managers...
[20:41] <lenswipe> anyone?
[20:41] <malloc64> how do i kill a process that wont die with kill -9?
[20:41] <lenswipe> i cant get into my netlogon share

[20:41] <lenswipe> can someone help me with that?
[20:41] <nightsjammies> So does anyone have any ideas on how to get my number pad working?
[20:41] <geezenslaw> Hello, I have local cloud vs public cloud question.
[20:41] <elektrikz> hi,anyone knows where can I find the ubuntu kernel configuration?
[20:41] <Pici> geezenslaw: #ubuntu-server would be more appropriate for ubuntu cloud questions
[20:42] <TimothyA> what's the difference between 8.04 and 9.10?
[20:42] <guntbert> elektrikz: /boot/config....
[20:42] <Pici> TimothyA: 1 and a half years
[20:42] <TimothyA> that's all?
[20:42] <zkoo> hah
[20:42] <Myrtti> TimothyA: the other is LTS release, the other is not
[20:42] <Pici> TimothyA: 8.04 is also an LTS release that will be supported for 3/5 years desktop/server.  9.10 will only be supported for 18 months
[20:43] <elektrikz> guntbert, ty! :-)
[20:43] <gdiz_> are there any good gui partitioners for partitioning an external hard drive
[20:43] <guntbert> elektrikz: you're welcome :-)
[20:43] <TimothyA> Pici; If they're that much alike, why the different attitude towards them? :P
[20:43] <TimothyA> is 9.10 considered a bastard child or something?
[20:43] <lenswipe> can someone help me with that?
[20:43] <geezenslaw> ubuntu-server it is, thanks...
[20:43] <lenswipe> anyone?
[20:43] <lenswipe> i cant get into my netlogon share
[20:43] <maco> TimothyA: 9.10 had a lot of experimental new features thrown in to get them well-tested before 10.04
[20:43] <lenswipe> i can only get into my netlogon share in samba if i force root through smb.conf
[20:44] <lenswipe> is anyone able to help with that?
[20:44] <nightsjammies> Um, anyone?
[20:44] <Pici> TimothyA: Its newer and not an LTS release so its a little buggy.
[20:44] <gigawatt> does anyone know how to make virtural box running windows in ubuntu see usb devices?
[20:45] <Pici> gigawatt: Use the version of vbox from their website. the open source version in our repositories does not support USB.
[20:45] <gigawatt> carp!
[20:45] <ZykoticK9> gigawatt, to start with you can't you the VirtualBox from Ubuntu repo (OSE) you need the version direct from Sun
[20:45] <yeason> gigawatt: first of all something I've discovered with that is if there's no linux drivers for the device it wont work anyway
[20:46] <nightsjammies> bloody hell.
[20:46] <lenswipe> i can only get into my netlogon share in samba if i force root through smb.conf
[20:46] <lenswipe> is anyone able to help with that?
[20:46] <lenswipe> anyone?
[20:46] <gigawatt> will it work out of the box
[20:46] <gigawatt> ok
[20:46] <gigawatt> samba is horrible
[20:46] <radioman-lt> ?
[20:46] <radioman-lt> why
[20:48] <chadwin> Hi guys
[20:48]  * Claudiu__ is away: Away fo now .. 
[20:48] <gigawatt> samba is a beast
[20:48] <gigawatt> and unnecessary unless you need a gui
[20:49] <radioman-lt> samba is just a file server
[20:49] <gigawatt> i know
[20:49] <malloc64> how do i kill a process that doesn't listen to kill -9?
[20:49] <gigawatt> but if you set up apache so it that
[20:49] <guntbert> !away > Claudiu__
[20:49] <chadwin> with a gun...thaaaaaaah
[20:49] <radioman-lt> ;
[20:49] <nightsjammies> Fucking hell
[20:49] <iceroot> nightsjammies: stop that
[20:49] <malloc64> hmm... where do i need to aim to make sure i only hit that process?
[20:49] <nightsjammies> Why?
[20:49] <scott_ino2> !language | nightsjammies
[20:50] <nightsjammies> Now that I have your attention, feel like helping?
[20:50] <iceroot> nightsjammies: no
[20:50] <chadwin> lol
[20:50] <scott_ino2> nightsjammies, what is your question
[20:50] <nightsjammies> Doesn't suprise me.
[20:50] <scott_ino2> I just joined in, maybe i can help
[20:51] <nightsjammies> It just has to do with my number pad. It isn't working, for some reason, even though I have it enabled.
[20:51] <nightsjammies> And thank you scott_ino2
[20:51] <scott_ino2> nightsjammies, is this a separate number pad or integrated one in your keyboard?
[20:51] <bujar> how do i call the "network connections" program from the console? please
[20:52] <night_fox1> Hello Ubuntu support! Would you mind helping me with my nvidia driver? I'm trying to do this fix: http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/2009/11/16/kubuntu-9-10-upgrade/ but I can't find /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video. Is there a file that I should edit instead, or do I need to reinstall the nvidia driver from its source code?
[20:52] <nightsjammies> It's the kind that's integrated off to the right side of the regular keypad
[20:52] <purpzey> How do I access a shared folder? I followed this: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/internet/C/networking-shares.html tutorial on how to setup the share, but I want to know how to access it from other computers on the network.
[20:52] <scott_ino2> nightsjammies, is this a desktop keyboard or laptop?
[20:53] <nightsjammies> Laptop. Compaq Presario CQ60

[20:53] <ISIIS> Hi... I'm looking for deutsch forum where it is possible to download many movies in deutsch language from rapidshare.com . Could anyone help me? :)
[20:53] <night_fox1> bujar: you can start the network manager applet by typing nm-applet but you need a working gui for it to work
[20:53] <nightsjammies> Thank you.
[20:54] <guntbert> ISIIS: don't ask that here
[20:54] <parkandstop> how do i open .bin files
[20:54] <ISIIS> guntbert: ok ...but where?
[20:54] <guntbert> !piracy | ISIIS
[20:54] <Dr_Willis> parkandstop:  depends on what it is . .bin is a generic extension tht means very little.

[20:55] <Dr_Willis> parkandstop:  if its an executable   chmod +x whteever.bin   then ./whatever.bin
[20:55] <scott_ino2> nightsjammies, opena  terminal and type: xev and hit enter, it should open a diagnostic that checks to see if you're getting any response from your keypad keys.

[20:56] <Isaban> wow, people always have questions here
[20:56] <lenswipe> is anyone able to help with that?

[20:57] <scott_ino2> nightsjammies, then try pressing the keys on your keypad that seem to be unresponsive, this will determine if it's responsive or not
[20:57] <nightsjammies> Along with a large amount of output in the terminal
[20:57] <Dr_Willis> purpzey:  if you did samba shares you can use teh gnome file manager and its network places to browse for them
[20:57] <nightsjammies> Nothing. With or without the numlock key enabled.
[20:57] <Isaban> !quote
[20:57] <Dr_Willis> purpzey:  or you could mount them to some given location by hand.
[20:57] <scott_ino2> nightsjammies, yes, we just want to see if it's responsive when you touch one of the keys

[20:58] <gigawatt> i installed virtualbox-3.1 from the website using the .deb but i can't launch the package
[20:58] <gigawatt> where do i find it
[20:58] <Isaban> In the menu
[20:58] <Dr_Willis> gigawatt:  it should add an entry to the menus when you install it. You might need to logout/back in for it to show up
[20:58] <gigawatt> ok
[20:58] <CaBlGuY> is there a version with wicd package already built in?
[20:59] <Isaban> Vitrual Applications
[20:59] <alkisg> gigawatt: you also need to add yourself to the vboxusers group
[20:59] <gigawatt> under which category
[20:59] <gigawatt> oh isee
[20:59] <night_fox1> Does anyone know the answer to my question about /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video?
[20:59] <Isaban> gigawatt: Vitrual Applications
[20:59] <scott_ino2> nightsjammies, go to System/Preferences/Keyboard and go to the "Mouse Keys" tab. Make sure the box that says "allow to control the pointer using the keyboard is Unchecked
[20:59] <CaBlGuY> !wicd
[21:00] <scott_ino2> night_fox1, if you do cd /etc/modprobe.d and then type ls it should tell you what you have in there, if it's not in there then im guessing you nee something else
[21:00] <nightsjammies> 154
[21:00] <nightsjammies> Ahh, that fixed it. Thank you very much.

[21:03] <Isaban> I did an install where it froze

[21:03] <nightsjammies> o.O

[21:05] <nohup> Good day all
[21:05] <nohup> does anybody know any circuit simulation software for linux ?
[21:06] <nohup> as in something you can actually draw a schematic into and then simulate it ?
[21:06] <nohup> (just fairly simple circuits...)
[21:06] <nightsjammies> Ooh, that sounds like it'd be fun to play with.
[21:06] <nightsjammies> Does autocad do it?
[21:06] <nohup> and not ktechlab, cause that thing is totally and utterly useless
[21:06] <nohup> autocad ? for linux ? does it simulate electronic circuits ?
[21:06] <Guest45905> s
[21:07] <Losha> nohup: google knows....
[21:07] <nightsjammies> autocad for windows, I mean
[21:07] <AJC_Z0> apparle: I don't use KDE and don't know what tool the use to manipulate the RANDR X11 extension, but unless you use nVidia drivers that's what you want
[21:07] <nohup> no, google doesn't :)
[21:07] <nightsjammies> I wished autocad supported linux
[21:07] <genii> !info ksimus
[21:07] <nohup> google pointed me to stuff that SAIS it does... but you probably have to be a rocket scientist to actually do it
[21:07] <nohup> (as in, you write your circuit... instead of drawing it)
[21:08] <nohup> ubottu: that sounds interesting...
[21:08] <Losha> nohup: What about here: http://eece.ksu.edu/~khc/circuits.html
[21:08] <nohup> genii even :)
[21:08] <nightsjammies> The bot is lying nohup ;)
[21:08] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  I'd like to use a japanese input method which respects my ~/.Xcompose.  Last I checked, SCIM didn't.  Does it now?  Does anything else?  Any suggestions?
[21:09] <genii> nohup: Apologies, for KDE, thought I was in Kubuntu channel. You can search packagenames yourself with something like: apt-cache search circuit | less               however, and read the descrip[tions
[21:09] <nohup> Losha: nothing of that actually allwos me to draw a circuit.. tried all that crap :)
[21:09] <Losha> nohup: sorry, just trying to help...
[21:09] <Losha> !jp
[21:09] <nohup> Losha: i know :) but i tried googling :)
[21:10] <jonaskoelker> Losha: @me?  Sorry, I don't understand japanese, but I'd like to study it
[21:10] <Losha> jonaskoelker: maybe  #ubuntu-jp can help. Not sure if they'll talk English to you....
[21:10] <guntbert> nohup: open synaptic, select section electronics - and browse through the apps if something fits you
[21:10] <nohup> genii: it's fine if it's for kde though :) i'll look into that ksimus thing (already tried apt-cache searching for circuit simulators though)
[21:10] <nohup> dunno how i missed that one
[21:11] <NerveClasp> Hi! I have a problem! it's not exactly about Ubuntu, but I don't know where to ask.. My usb flash drive fails to be seen by nautilus.. no physical damage was made, so I wonder if there is any software or way to bring the usb-flash drive to life? help
[21:11] <TimothyA> in which package is the command 'service'?
[21:12] <guntbert> NerveClasp: of course you pulled it and plugged it again :-)
[21:12] <jukebox-zero> Does anyone know if my lshw -C networks output lists my USB wireless device, but is just incredibly brief about it, if that could make my network slower. I'm connected, it's just kinda ... really slow. Like 802.11b, when I should be running b/g/n.?
[21:12] <jukebox-zero> Like can my system not be using that interface to it's fullest? How can I get more info on this?
[21:12] <nohup> hmm.. ksimus doesn't do electronic components either..
[21:12] <nohup> oh well
[21:12] <NerveClasp> guntbert: of course)) I even tried to plug it into windows operated laptop, but the reaction is still the same
[21:13] <nohup> will have to wait till i am back home and install illegal windows apps again ;)
[21:13] <gigawatt> if you add an entry to the sources.list, how do you get the GPG key
[21:13] <NerveClasp> guntbert: I would dig the Internet if I knew where and what to search..
[21:13] <guntbert> NerveClasp: if it isn't recognized in other computers too - bad news :-(
[21:14] <Losha> nohup: I thought spice was *the* circuit simulator....
[21:14] <NerveClasp> guntbert: please don't tell me that nothing can be done...
[21:14] <NerveClasp> guntbert: led on flash drive seems to respond, but..
[21:15] <Losha> NerveClasp: it's starting to sound like your usb flash drive died, to be honest....
[21:15] <guntbert> NerveClasp: ok I don't tell you - but I won't tell you anything else :-/
[21:15] <nohup> Losha: yeah.. and 'ngspice
[21:15] <nohup> Losha: yeah.. and 'ngspice' has a command prompt... not an interface to make schematics in
[21:15] <NerveClasp> Losha: and NOTHING (sorry for yelling=) can be done?
[21:16] <nohup> so i don't know what's up with that really :)
[21:16] <nohup> in windows you can indeed use spice to draw your stuff
[21:16] <Losha> NerveClasp: if linux can't see it, and windows can't see it, and the only thing in common between the two is the flash drive itself....
[21:17] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. does anyone recall the command to show what directories are 'shared' on a server.  Uploaded some stuff to a share. and cant find where they actually went. :)
[21:17] <chazco> Hi... Totem seems unable to play some of my videos... they load, the first few seconds play really fast (with no sound) then it just freezes (but doens't crash). Seems to be xvid. Any ideas? Used to use totem-xine but thats not available anymore
[21:17] <Losha> nohup: the web page mentions Spice3 and "has an interactive command interface and X11 graphics support", whatever that means....
[21:17] <spyderbite> plug it in to windows box and see.. that will rule out hardware failure.. tech support 101 really
[21:17] <guntbert> Dr_Willis: what kind of shares?
[21:18] <NerveClasp> Losha: sometimes in windows the button in tray appears. you know, the button that allows you to "safely disconnect the drive" like "unmount" function in nautilus. does that mean something? can I somehow see the list of usb drives connected to Ubuntu?
[21:18] <night_fox1> OK, so when I try and install the nvidia driver from their website, it complains that it can't find the kernel source.
[21:18] <nohup> Losha: hmm.. from what i've seen is that you have a command interfaace... and something that outputs some graphs and stuff
[21:18] <nohup> but i haven't actually seen 'components' in it..
[21:19] <nohup> but i'll check again :)
[21:19] <Losha> nohup: dunno, you're so far out of my field of expertise now that it's not funny....
[21:19] <Dr_Willis> guntbert:  samba shares. smbclient -L server   shows the share.. but  i want to know the exact path the server is shareing.

[21:19] <fuxar> hi
[21:19] <NerveClasp> !usb
[21:20] <bdesk> Hey guys, I like the server edition of ubuntu, but I want more rows and columns in the terminal.  Can I do this somehow?
[21:20] <fuxar> updates
[21:20] <fuxar> i can't start xorg
[21:20] <NerveClasp> !internet
[21:20] <NerveClasp> !weather:Kyiv
[21:20] <guntbert> NerveClasp: try one thing: open a terminal, type tail -f /var/log/syslog     and then plug the stick - if you don't get any lines from that - ubuntu really doesn't see anything from it. afterwards you can close the session with <ctrl>c
[21:20] <fuxar> a update make xorg crash
[21:21] <Losha> NerveClasp: if you don't 'safely disconnect' you can get filesystem errors, but you said the thing doesn't even seem to be seen on windows or linux. Try what guntbert said above
[21:21] <git__> does anyone have problem with ACPI on Ubuntu 9.10?
[21:21] <nohup> Losha: hehe, that's ok... thanks for trying to help though
[21:21] <guntbert> Dr_Willis: ah samba - sorry you know more than I about that :-)
[21:21] <nohup> i've been looking for something actually usable in this field for years...
[21:21] <git__> most of the time when I put ubuntu in hibernation mode, it freezes
[21:21] <fuxar> I don't want purge linux
[21:21] <NerveClasp> guntbert, thank you) I'll try it. Losha, thanks=)
[21:21] <nohup> thinking "there's somany nerds coding on stuff out there, there must be ONE working on a electronics simulator"
[21:21] <nohup> :)
[21:22] <bdesk> there is pspice, right?
[21:22] <guntbert> NerveClasp: Good luck :-)
[21:22] <Dr_Willis> guntbert:  yea - theres proberly some command/option - i just cant seem to figrue it out
[21:22] <Losha> Dr_Willis: won't that be in the /etc/samba/smb.conf under path or some such....
[21:22] <titan_ark> hey I just installed karmic via wubi, and I cant seem to get the updates going
[21:22] <Dr_Willis> Losha:  not for user 'shared' directrories.. Not sure where those are stored at.
[21:22] <nohup> bdesk: for linux ? and will it allow me to actually draw circuits and then simulate then ?
[21:22] <nohup> them
[21:23] <Dr_Willis> Losha:  i got a share called 'archives' and it could be on any of 5 different filesystems. :)
[21:23] <bdesk> nohup: ya i think so, google it.
[21:23] <nohup> just did, there'sno such thing
[21:23] <titan_ark> any idea on how to get it going?
[21:24] <Losha> nohup: I agree, not many of them on #ubuntu however. Look for an electronics channel, maybe. And be prepared to find they're all using windows....
[21:24] <bdesk> nohup: http://www.gpleda.org/
[21:24] <tweakt> is it possible to use the python-apt library 'apt.*' api with a custom configuration, or do I need to stick to the low level 'apt_pkg' api?
[21:24] <Losha> Dr_Willis: well, now you know the disadvantage of that kind of setup, I guess....
[21:24] <nohup> Losha: they probably will.. for work i had to use vmware for about everything i needed :)
[21:25] <Losha> nohup: google says ##electronics. Worth a try...
[21:26] <sn[a]ke> is there a way to edit the default size of the terminal when you open it?
[21:26] <nohup> bdesk: i'll check that out too :)
[21:26] <nohup> Losha: okay :) will try :)
[21:27] <bdesk> sn[a]ke: yes there is i did it once, but i forget it.
[21:27] <bdesk> is there a way to use something like ubuntu server edition, except with a huge terminal?
[21:27] <parkandstop> how do i install a .iso file to a disk
[21:27] <sn[a]ke> hmm, I think im gonna switch over to gentoo... ultimate customization
[21:27] <NerveClasp> guntbert: It gave some output! It's alive a bit)) (about flash drive) how can I give you the output? I forgot that command
[21:27] <Losha> NerveClasp: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com
[21:28] <redrebel> i want to install windows in a virtual machine. which is better virtual box or vmware server??
[21:28] <sn[a]ke> parkandstop, burn it to a dvd/cd(depending on size) with a tool such as deepburner. pop it in and install
[21:28] <angeloskg> how to install yahoo messenger for my ubuntu ?

[21:29] <sn[a]ke> is there a way to edit the default size of the terminal when you open it?

[21:30] <titan_ark> hey, could someone help me out on the updates? I just installed via wubi and cant seem to get the updates going
[21:30] <titan_ark> nor can I install any packages!
[21:30] <NerveClasp> any suggestions? it all stops there..
[21:30] <Losha> Dr_Willis: brute force search of all the filesystems by date or by name (if you know it)? It won't be fast...
[21:30] <guntbert> NerveClasp: I see - but I must tell you that I couldn't make anything of that - please ask the channel again
[21:31] <erUSUL> !details | titan_ark
[21:31] <jukebox-zero> angeloskg, You can download the installer from yahoo and install it using wine. Sometimes it works, other times it may install and then tell you it cannot access your network.
[21:31] <titan_ark> erUSUL, tried installing vlc and it says cannot find package
[21:31] <titan_ark> when i try update it cant connect to any of them
[21:31] <Losha> NerveClasp: it looks normal, except the most important bit is missing i.e. there should be a device name for you to access the device. I don't see it though :-)
[21:31] <ubuntu_> kadu
[21:32] <erUSUL> titan_ark: can you browse the internet? what's the exact error you get ?
[21:32] <titan_ark> yes I am on right now from the same notebook
[21:32] <Losha> NerveClasp: try sudo fdisk -l    <--- lower case L.
[21:32] <NerveClasp> Losha: can I somehow name the devise through terminal?
[21:33] <parkandstop> how do i install a .iso file to a disk with native linux software
[21:33] <nohup> hmm... got geda-gschem to actually display a schematic...
[21:33] <Losha> NerveClasp: no, the kernel is supposed to name it. try sudo fdisk -l
[21:33] <nohup> looks pretty prehistoric and no clue if there's any way to run a simulation thouhg... let's see... :)

[21:33] <richthegeek> hi all - I've got a problem where Rhythmbox is automatically renaming the artist of an album when I change it

[21:34] <erUSUL> titan_ark: use main site or the mexico or canada mirror
[21:34] <CaBlGuY> anyone ..  is there a version with wicd package already built in?
[21:34] <Needs_Hel> bactrack
[21:34] <john> hi
[21:34] <Losha> NerveClasp: did the flash drive show up in the listing?
[21:34] <Needs_Hel> CaBlGuY; BackTrack 4
[21:35] <titan_ark> erUSUL: Okay, doing that.
[21:35] <CaBlGuY> BackTrack 4 ?  wussat?
[21:35] <Needs_Hel> it has wicd built in
[21:35] <titan_ark> erUSUL: Seems to be working, thanks :)
[21:35] <CaBlGuY> I was lookin for a Ubuntu build with wicd already in it
[21:35] <Needs_Hel> its the best linux distro ever
[21:35] <erUSUL> titan_ark: no problem
[21:36] <CaBlGuY> hmmmm  ok,
[21:36] <NerveClasp> Losha, /dev/sdb1               1         974     7819559    b  W95 FAT32
[21:36]  * CaBlGuY goes to lok up BackTrack 4
[21:36] <Losha> BackTrack 4 appears to be some kind of distro for penetration testing...
[21:36] <titan_ark> erUSUL: Tried Kubuntu yesterday and got it on after struggling an entire day. finally drivers and other issues made me give up
[21:37] <Needs_Hel> http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack_download.html
[21:37] <Losha> NerveClasp: the device name is /dev/sdb1. Can you mount it? sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
[21:37] <nohup> oh well, looked at geda too
[21:37] <erUSUL> titan_ark: :| good luck with ubuntu then
[21:37] <nohup> they kinda admit there's nothing that has a usable gui :)
[21:37] <titan_ark> btw, is there  a problem with the USA repo?
[21:37] <sshinobi> dtv.org
[21:38] <salmon> umm i know this is a stupid question but... how do i run usb-creator
[21:38] <sshinobi> I'm trying to alter files on my nokia n800, and I'm running into a permissions issue, I'm thinking.
[21:38] <Losha> nohup: that's electronics types for you....
[21:39] <guntbert> salmon: you start it, select an iso file, select an usb device, ...
[21:39] <erUSUL> nohup: i've been using (for introductory curses nothing professional) LTSpice IV via wine (LTSpice is designed to run well on wine) with great success
[21:39] <sshinobi> I've downloaded an app, and I'm trying to run it, and it says permission denied.
[21:39] <NerveClasp> Losha, nope.. nothing. maybe it is not it.. wait, here the whole output http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d16db10a5
[21:39] <sshinobi> even though the terminal says I'm root.
[21:39] <salmon> guntbert, thank you
[21:39] <nohup> erUSUL: it runs on wine out of the box ? (don't have windows DDL's here)
[21:39] <erUSUL> nohup: yes
[21:39] <nohup> Losha: yeah i guess :)
[21:39] <guntbert> salmon: np - have fun :)
[21:39] <NerveClasp> Losha, some parts of it are unreadable, because I speak Ukrainian
[21:40] <nohup> erUSUL: that's neat... is ltspice free then ? :)
[21:40] <salmon> guntbert: oh i will
[21:40] <erUSUL> nohup: just download the exe doble click nex next done
[21:40] <Shazam> I'm encountering crashes. How can I enable logging of dmesg, and how do I enable the magic sysreq keys?
[21:40] <erUSUL> nohup: yes free as in beer
[21:40] <erUSUL> Shazam: all of this is already enabled
[21:40] <Shazam> erUSUL: .. how can you tell?
[21:41] <Needs_Hel> what are the restrictions with running windows programs in linux
[21:41] <nohup> oh well.. if not native... then wine is always a better option than vmware (especially on my simple intel atom laptop)
[21:41] <Losha> NerveClasp: well your English sounds native! And the fdisk looks correct (near as I can tell). So what happened when you typed: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
[21:41] <Funnyface> just a quick question, I have a CD with the desktop ubuntu, but I can't be arsed with downloading and burning the ubuntu server ISO image just now. is it a lot of mess to convert ubuntu desktop into a usable server? :p
[21:41] <erUSUL> NerveClasp: do « LC_ALL=C sudo fdisk -l »
[21:41] <Funnyface> as in disabling all the unnecessary features, like X and gnome
[21:41] <erUSUL> Shazam: type dmesg on a terminal or press a syrq key combo and it will work
[21:42] <spyderbite> Wow.. a lot of media players (for watching DVD movies) to choose from.. anyone got a favorite?
[21:42] <Slart> Needs_Hel: restrictions? I don't know of any artificial restrictions.. vm's will run more stuff but they are slower.. especially when it comes to games/graphics ... wine works on some things.. see http://appdb.winehq.org for details about specific apps/games
[21:43] <Slart> Funnyface: not really.. you can still install the common server apps on the desktop version
[21:43] <Losha> Funnyface: that lazy way is to just install whatever server software you need and configure it. No need to bother removing X and gnome really....
[21:43] <NerveClasp> Losha, nearly nothing happened.. the drive is still somewhere in the middle of nowhere
[21:44] <Funnyface> well the computer is an old laptop with not that great specs so I'd rather not have any resource hog running in the background :P
[21:44] <Losha> NerveClasp: meaning the mount command hung? Or did it return? C'mon, help me to help you...
[21:44] <shey> Simple question I hope... I use Ubuntu on a Thumb Drive alot. I was wondering if I am 'sposed to keep it updated just like I would a real machine?
[21:44] <Funnyface> 2GHz celeron, 256MB shared with video card
[21:44] <NerveClasp> erUSUL: as I understood I had to type that string in my terninal? but the output was all the same
[21:44] <javatexan> if I install the nvidia version 185 in the "hardware drivers", I cannot login to my computer afterwards...the only way back seems to be sudo apt-get purge and then rm the xorg.conf.   I am running latest 9.10 Xubuntu with xfce
[21:44] <nohup> erUSUL: wow, this is the first thing so far that actually looks promissing
[21:44] <Slart> Funnyface: you can always shut down X after it's booted up.. that's what I do with my mini-itx server
[21:44] <nohup> thanks! :)
[21:44] <Funnyface> :P
[21:44] <NerveClasp> Losha: it returned
[21:44] <erUSUL> NerveClasp: it should print msgs in english.
[21:44] <javatexan> Forgot the question...help?
[21:44] <Slart> Funnyface: you can even uninstall X/Gnome if you want..
[21:44] <Funnyface> ok ty, I'll just go ahead and install the desktop one then
[21:45] <Losha> NerveClasp: now run df -h and pastebin the output
[21:45] <cdocbo> hey all, looking for recommendations on music players.  I've used amarok (didn't like kde and newer version) and banshee (takes too long to load mono deps)  What is like them but runs gtk?
[21:45] <sshinobi> I'm trying to run a program to flash my Nokia N800. The terminal says I'm root, but when I try to run the program with "./flasher-3.0—enable-rd-mode" it says that there  is no such file or directory
[21:45] <NerveClasp> LC_ALL=C sudo fdisk -l [21:45] <Slart> sshinobi: is the name correct? Ubuntu is caSE seNsiTivE
[21:45] <cdocbo> sshinobi, add a space after the 3.0?
[21:45] <keanu> hey guys - I had a failed hard drive, so i was booting off my USB drive for a while. got my new HDD back today, and right after installing it, went to boot off of my flash drive again
[21:46] <sshinobi> alright, I'll see what I can do.
[21:46] <NerveClasp> Losha, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d585d2db5
[21:46] <nigelcourtney> Hello, could a kindly person please advise how I might switch resolutions  on Ubuntu 9.10 with nvidia 1.73 drivers and after installing new mode in xrandr
[21:46] <yeason> keanu: check your boot options in your bios
[21:46] <sshinobi> permission denied. could it be because I"m running it as a livecd?
[21:46] <shey> sshinobi: chmod +x ./f...
[21:46] <Losha> NerveClasp: looks good. Now do ls -l /mnt
[21:46] <erUSUL> NerveClasp: here in my machine it makes the messages appear in english instead of the original spanish. that was as response to --> 22:39 < NerveClasp> Losha, some parts of it are unreadable, because I speak Ukrainian
[21:47] <keanu> yeason, checked, but I think it's worse - booted from another flash drive (4GB) without a problem, and plugged my original flash drive (16GB) in
[21:47] <stef1> I asked ap-get to install mscorefonts but it could not be installed, Now it attempts to install it every time I install something else, how can I stop that behavior?
[21:47] <trism> cdocbo: rhythmbox?
[21:47] <keanu> the LED on my 16GB flash drive flashes, but it doesn't mount, and i'm getting error -71 in dmesg (eproto)
[21:47] <Losha> erUSUL: that's ok. My ukrainian is crap, but my fdisk is fluent....
[21:47] <sshinobi> ah, so that worked. It was a file permissions error.
[21:47] <sshinobi> thanks!
[21:47] <keanu> does eproto generally point to a dead device (flash drive)?
[21:47] <shey> no problem
[21:47] <jukebox-zero> nigelcourtney is there an option Nvidia something xserver settings in your administration menu?
[21:48] <javatexan> anyone else seeing similar behavior?  I login it looks like it is going to work and the returns to the login screen....
[21:48] <cryptk> damn i love the fact that I only have to reboot for kernel updates...
[21:48] <nigelcourtney> jukebox-zero:yes there is but the mode is not available
[21:48] <shey> javatexan: check the xorg log, /etc/X11/vorg.log I think, see if it has any errors.
[21:49] <shey> /etc/X11/xorg.log i meant
[21:49] <yeason> keanu: I'm not sure I follow what your problem is. What exactly do you need it to do and what is it doing in reality?
[21:49] <shey> I need to know if I should apt-ge tupgrade this USB FLashDrive.
[21:49] <shey> or not.
[21:49] <nigelcourtney> jukebox-zero:as in 640x480 is available etc but not 1024x768 even though when I type xrandr in console I see the mode is there, ( maybe not correctly but it is there )
[21:50] <git__> http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/CES/high-tech-sex-porn-flirts-cutting-edge/story?id=9511040
[21:50] <keanu> yeason, I need it to appear in lsusb and, well, mount. instead, dmesg is showing http://pastebin.ca/1743257 , the flash drive's usb is either blinking steady but moderately fast, or steady and rather slow
[21:50] <git__> wrong channel
[21:50] <guntbert> git__: not here please
[21:51] <NerveClasp> Losha, wait.. I did a stupid thing.. I had another flasdrive in my cardreader... here is the output again http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d14f536a8
[21:51] <slinkeey> Hi
[21:51] <Zorael> I'm trying to make sense of a bootchart (http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/475/jamiekubuntukarmic20100.png). Why is the kmix process grey?
[21:51] <afonit> has anyone solved the gnome-shell issue on ubuntu 9.10 that gives:  JS ERROR: !!!     message = 'Requiring Clutter, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'PangoCairo', version '1.0' not found'
[21:51] <slinkeey> Does Firefox automatically clear old objects in the cache?  I notice my cache only goes back a few days..
[21:51] <NerveClasp> Losha, I mean the sudo fdisk -l command
[21:51] <jukebox-zero> nigelcourtney, I'm not sure. I was looking for a way to pass resolution changes to the xserver without using the nvidia dialog but I haven't yet found it. I installed my driver and it kicked me down to such a low res I couldn't see any of the options to fix it.
[21:52] <yeason> keanu: ok, I'm not sure I'll be able to help you. I am wondering though, have you verified this drive works with another computer/OS?
[21:52] <kfizz> Is the only way to rate songs in rhythmbox thru the songs' properties? That seems like quite a few mouse clicks just to rate songs
[21:52] <NerveClasp> Losha, so it appears that no usb is seen.... accept my harddrive though)))
[21:52] <yeason> kfizz: I believe you can add the rating column to the display and then set it there
[21:53] <Losha> NerveClasp: notice how /dev/sdb1 has disappeared? That's because your new flashdrive doesn't respond to the system. I think it's dead but I'm too tired to go through it all again. Review what we did for the other flashdrive and try it with this one....
[21:53] <kfizz> yeason, I tried to do that, but couldn't figure out how to add columns. I tried right clicking on the column headings, but that didn't produce anything.
[21:53] <mo_money_manny>  /quit
[21:53] <yeason> kfizz: under Edit>preferences on the "general" tab there's check boxes for the columns to display
[21:53] <kfizz> yeason, it was in preferences, thanks.
[21:53] <yeason> kfizz: =)
[21:54] <kfizz> yeason, haha thanks. I've beenusing banshee for a while now and just now started using rhythmbox...two very different approaches to UIs
[21:54] <keanu> yeason, I tried it in another laptop running vista - it recognizes that a usb drive was attached, but then gives the "USB device not recognized" error
[21:54] <kfizz> yeason, thanks.
[21:54] <NerveClasp> erUSUL: Oh, i see the difference now))) thank you!)) Say Hi to Spain)) I study español in my university)))
[21:54] <kraitos> i'v been trying to pass-phrase my password and i don't seem to find any solid info on it, could anyone help me in pass-phrasing my password?
[21:54] <yeason> kfizz: not a problem
[21:55] <erUSUL> NerveClasp: ;P No hay de que
[21:55] <NerveClasp> Losha, thank you) sorry for all that))
[21:55] <Guest65472> how do I restore grub to boot my xp partition after removing the hard-drive with ubuntu on it, it now drops to a grub_recovery shell on boot
[21:55] <pkkm> My Ubuntu Karmic stops launching after "Checking battery state... done" (I tried to wait even five hours and still nothing). How to fix it?
[21:55] <yeason> keanu: sounds like there's either a problem with the drive itself or perhaps it hasn't been formatted. Do other usb drives work with ubuntu?
[21:56] <keanu> yeason,  yeah, i'm booting off of another usb drive now. i know it's formatted/partitioned, since i was using it earlier today
[21:56] <erUSUL> Guest65472: you have to restore windows bootloader. boot with windows installcd into the recovery console in that console run fixmbr
[21:56] <sh1va> hi guys.. i have a strange problem.. my disk seems to fill itself up but i dont know which application does that
[21:56] <erUSUL> Guest65472: more help with that in ##windows
[21:56] <sh1va> is there anyway i could check that?
[21:57] <erUSUL> sh1va: maybe some app or the kernel is spamming the logs hard. check the size of /var/log/
[21:57] <yeason> keanu: You may be booted from one but can you plug in and mount another usb drive you know to be working(verified with another computer)?
[21:57] <Guest65472> erUSUL, tried that, it asks for a floppy.. can i do it from linux-live cd?
[21:57] <kraitos> can anyone help me pass-phrase my password?
[21:58] <erUSUL> Guest65472: no that i know of... it should not ask for any floppy afaik...
[21:58] <yeason> keanu: if you have trouble with this drive in another OS that means the problem is most likely with that drive. Thus we want to be sure by checking if a different drive does work
[21:58] <acicula> kraitos: that doesnt make sense?
[21:58] <Guest65472> erUSUL, it tells me to insert floppy for the recovery console
[21:58] <sh1va> erUSUL, it isnt /var/log, already checked that... i'm affraid that it could be rootkit or smth
[21:58] <adam_g> where could i find and review the kubuntu-desktop postinst script?
[21:58] <erUSUL> sh1va: then use the disk use analizer to see where the space is going
[21:59] <sh1va> erUSUL, where can i find that utility?
[21:59] <erUSUL> Guest65472: it's been a long time since i've done this kind of things you should ask in ##windows for help with windows issues
[21:59] <acicula> sh1va: baobab
[21:59] <erUSUL> sh1va: Aplications>accesories>disk use analizer iirc
[21:59] <Guest65472> erUSUL, im trying to use grub though, can't i boot xp from grub, it used to work that way
[21:59] <NerveClasp> can someone else help me? Usb mount fail issue again.. here is the output of tail -f /var/log/syslog - http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d1ccb16c7
[22:00] <keanu> yeason, those are the only two flash drives i can find at the moment
[22:00] <keanu> tried the dead(?) flash drive in another computer though - also didn't work
[22:00] <Jordan_U> Guest65472: Follow http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[22:00] <erUSUL> Guest65472: yep but grub need files that where installed in the ubuntu partition ( /boot/grub/* ) no that those files are gone it can't work
[22:01] <yeason> keanu: ok, from the sounds of it I'm inclined to think there's a problem with your flash drive, not with ubuntu.
[22:01] <erUSUL> Guest65472: maybe using supergrubdisk to boot the winXP and fix the mbr from there
[22:01] <Guest65472> erUSUL, i think jordan_u has the idea, i can boot from live-cd and install grub2
[22:01] <keanu> yeason, yeah, i agree - have any tips for somehow recovering the data from the flash drive?
[22:01] <nohup> erUSUL: thanks again, this is exactly what i was looking for
[22:01] <sh1va> erUSUL, disk usage analyzer is too slow, is there any terminal command which could tell me what is modified latest on fs?
[22:01] <erUSUL> nohup: no problem
[22:01] <nohup> might not be native linux, but atleast it is working (and looks like it's working well, too :) )
[22:02] <NerveClasp> sudo fdisk -l  -- and no mentions about a usb devise in the listing of that command
[22:02] <erUSUL> sh1va: ls -t ?
[22:02] <Guest65472> Jordan_U, is that guide for a linux install though?
[22:02] <ooobooonto> hi
[22:02] <Guest65472> Jordan_U, am i following step 3 grub2 install?
[22:03] <Cube``> is there some nice software that allows me to quickly get down my thoughts/notes using VOICE? i know there is a voice recorder of course, but i'm looking for some more sophisticated software, that would allow organizing all that, maybe even syncing and making the notes searchable?
[22:03] <ooobooonto> i just installed ubuntu using wubi. because the actual installer hates me.
[22:03] <yeason> keanu: Since it doesn't appear to be showing up under /dev I don't know of anything you can do.
[22:04] <keanu> yeason, yeah, i'm kind of thinking the same =/
[22:04] <NerveClasp> is there any software to replace usb built-in software?
[22:05] <yeason> keanu: sorry to tell you that... I hate it when I have drives crap out. I've got to go afk for a bit, if you need further assistance someone else might be able to help you out
[22:05] <keanu> yeason, ok, thanks
[22:05]  * keanu should have made backups :P
[22:05] <karmst> hello
[22:06] <karmst> keanu I have a question about that
[22:06] <karmst> What is a good backup solution for Ubuntu?
[22:06] <iceroot> karmst: rsync
[22:06] <erUSUL> !backup
[22:07] <karmst> ok I've read that
[22:07] <ooobooonto> is there a version of 7zip for ubuntu?
[22:07] <git__> karmst, I use backintime
[22:07] <erUSUL> ooobooonto: yes;
[22:07] <karmst> But I was trying to find out real world experience what everyone uses
[22:07] <erUSUL> !find 7zip
[22:08] <Cube``> is there some nice software that allows me to quickly get down my thoughts/notes using VOICE? i know there is a voice recorder of course, but i'm looking for some more sophisticated software, that would allow organizing all that, maybe even syncing and making the notes searchable?
[22:08] <karmst> And is there a solution to do a total drive image but while in use?
[22:08] <ooobooonto> thanks.
[22:08] <karmst> that can be automated?

[22:09] <Jordan_U> Guest65472: Since you are not using linux at all the chroot steps won't work ( or the grub-mkconfig )

[22:10] <d0c> im trying to install Uduntu on a partitioned drive (called U) to play with.. i already have C for Windows7.. is this possible?
[22:10] <erUSUL> ooobooonto: yes; you can use file-roller as gui
[22:10] <git__> you can time snapshot every hour
[22:10] <erUSUL> d0c: yes
[22:10] <git__> most backup solutions I've seen posted here aren't that good
[22:10] <karmst> git have you performed a full restore using that before?
[22:10] <erUSUL> !dualbot | d0c
[22:10] <ooobooonto> erusul: oooh. ty
[22:10] <erUSUL> !dualboot | d0c
[22:10] <Guest65472> Jordan_U, so then just grub-install /dev/sda1 ?
[22:10] <git__> it doesn't provide for realtime data recovery
[22:11] <NerveClasp> oh well.. bye))) see ya'll next time I will fail to find the answer in google))
[22:11] <d0c> ive read that but the installer doesnt give me the option to choose other drives

[22:13] <ooobooonto> the only thing i really dislike about ubuntu 9.10 is the software manager. its a pain. but otherwise, i love it =D
[22:13] <fauxreigner_> Does anyone know what the deal with mounting NTFS partitions as normal users is?  I'm trying to edit my fstab to automatically mount a partition at boot and it's being problematic.
[22:13] <ardchoille> ooobooonto: That's being worked on :)
[22:13] <ooobooonto> ardchoille: yay. it gave me some problems trying to install stuff. but other wise its great. i perfer using terminal to install stuff anyway.
[22:14] <Pondus33> Hi, i am having some issues whit bluetooth under ubuntu 9.10. i installed blueman thingi, but i get this error: Bluez daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue., any ideas ?
[22:15] <Funnyface> bleh the ubuntu installer freezes up when it starts the partitioner :\
[22:15] <acicula> Pondus33: does blueman-adapters show an adapter?
[22:15] <Funnyface> I'll go with plain debian then
[22:15] <Jordan_U> Guest65472: I'm having network issues
[22:15] <Guest65472> Jordan_U, alright. no problem
[22:15] <ooobooonto> funnyface: that used to do that to me
[22:15] <Jordan_U> Guest65472: If I don't respond for a while that is why
[22:15] <erUSUL> !ntfs | fauxreigner_
[22:15] <Guest65472> Jordan_U, did you get my previous message?
[22:15] <ooobooonto> and now my disc won't go past the screen that lets you choose if you want to boot into the installer or use the live cd. so now i use wubi.
[22:16] <Pondus33> acicula, dont see any icons of bluetooth no
[22:16] <Jordan_U> Guest65472: You will need to use grub-install --root-directory=/path/to/mountpoint/
[22:16] <markrages1> Hi, I am trying to use a cp2102-based usb-serial adpater with easy peasy (kernel 2.6.30) but I can't find the cp210x.ko driver
[22:16] <markrages1> is there another package I need to install?
[22:16] <Jordan_U> Guest65472: Then create a grub.cfg manually
[22:17] <MORPHEUS> salve
[22:17] <erUSUL> markrages1: in karmic is there /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/cp210x.ko
[22:18] <Pondus33> Hi, i am having some issues whit bluetooth under ubuntu 9.10. i installed blueman thingi, but i get this error: Bluez daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue., any ideas ? its dongle, no laptop
[22:18] <sn[a]ke> is there a way to get all backtrack tools on uibuntu???
[22:18] <sn[a]ke> *is there a way to get all backtrack tools on ubuntu???
[22:19] <markrages1> erUSUL: it's not in easy peasy
[22:19] <acicula> sn[a]ke: not really
[22:19] <acicula> sn[a]ke: not an wasy way anyway
[22:19] <erUSUL> markrages1: ask easypeasy devs then
[22:19] <Guest65472> Jordan_U, so what do you recommend I do then, im taking notes.
[22:19] <sn[a]ke> well did i ask for an easy way?
[22:20] <markrages1> erUSUL: ha!
[22:20] <kinja-sheep> sn[a]ke: If you're using BackTrack, you could !clone and figure out which packages are installed. It takes times though. Comparing packages but it is doable IMO.
[22:20] <sn[a]ke> kinja-sheep, thanks ill try...
[22:21] <Jordan_U> Guest65472: To just get windows booting again you can install the "mbr" package and run "sudo install-mbr /dev/sda" ( if sda is the drive you want to install to )
[22:21] <LetoThe2nd> sn[a]ke, if you had only once looked up the backtrack faq, you would have read that there's no way of doing with a reasonable amount of work.
[22:21] <erUSUL> markrages1: if they omitted the driver from the kernel build there is not much you can do
[22:21] <epinky> sn[a]ke: btw what version of BT?
[22:21] <erUSUL> !backtrack
[22:21] <markrages1> erUSUL: I was hoping they just packaged it separately
[22:21] <Guest65472> Jordan_U, alright sounds simple, um. is it just sda or sda1
[22:21] <Jordan_U> Guest65472: Just sda
[22:22] <erUSUL> markrages1: we support main ubuntu here. we can not keep track of changes of all derivatives
[22:22] <Guest65472> Jordan_U, ok, thank you so much, do i just then reboot?
[22:22] <Jordan_U> Guest65472: Yes
[22:22] <Guest65472> Jordan_U, ok, thanks alot for your time
[22:22] <erUSUL> markrages1: /j #easypeasy http://www.geteasypeasy.com/index.php?menu=help
[22:23] <Jordan_U> Guest65472: np
[22:23] <markrages1> erUSUL: ok, thanks for your help
[22:23] <dasunsru1e32> is there a way to visually monitor what another user is doing at the CLI through SSH?
[22:24] <dasunsru1e32> or even from the consoles
[22:24] <fauxreigner_> !FUSE
[22:25] <fauxreigner_> !ntfs-3g
[22:25] <Jordan_U> dasunsru1e32: Are they cooperating in your monitoring of them or are you trying to "spy" on people against their will?
[22:26] <dasunsru1e32> Jordan_U: considering it is MY server, it is nice to know what they are doing
[22:26] <dasunsru1e32> so either way
[22:26] <Jordan_U> dasunsru1e32: The former is easy to deal with and the latter i
[22:26] <dasunsru1e32> I would like to be able to jump in to help or to spy
[22:27] <dasunsru1e32> Ok, so how does it work?
[22:28] <diesel__> How do I change GDM themes in Karmic?
[22:28] <ardchoille> diesel__: Last I heard, you don't
[22:29] <ardchoille> diesel__: Last I heard, that functionality hasn't been implemented yet
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> diesel__:  its has minor things you can change.. or install the old gdm.. or not worry about it
[22:30] <Dr_Willis> dasunsru1e32:  there are replacement 'stty/login' commands that have logging/spy features.. thats abou all i know on the topic.
[22:31] <dasunsru1e32> Dr_Willis: thank you, that is all I needed to know. I can handle it from here. :-P
[22:32] <Jordan_U> dasunsru1e32: ... is harder to deal with and unless you have a banner clearly stating that you are doing it is not very nice :)
[22:32] <jMyles> I'm interested in setting up a hotspot - does it make more sense to use a linux box for this instead of a little router?  What is the point of doing so much computing in a little router if I have several linux boxes I can use?
[22:32] <tuxfiction> hello there, can someone help me find a solution for setting up a pptp-connection? I configured everything in the gnome connection manager, but when I try to start the connection just nothing happens...so first question: is there a way to get output messages of the network manager?
[22:32] <adam_g> where does aptitude store its install/post install scripts? id like to see what will happen in post-inst for 'apt-get install kunbuntu-desktop'
[22:32] <Jordan_U> dasunsru1e32: Sorry, I am having network issues so I may intermittently not be able to respond for a while
[22:33] <erUSUL> adam_g: those scripts com in the deb package afaik
[22:33] <Kieran0413> jMyles, have a look at NoCat
[22:34] <yeason> adam_g: would the simulate command for apt-get help out? it will basically show you what would happen if you were to run the command
[22:34] <Jordan_U> dasunsru1e32: In the first case you can use a utility called "screen" and have it automatically start at login ( by installing byobu and setting it up in the byobu menu or adding screen manually to the user's .profile )
[22:34] <adam_g> yeason, yea i was looking for such a thing.
[22:34] <yeason> adam_g: its -s
[22:34] <adam_g> yeason, thank you much
[22:34] <yeason> adam_g: np
[22:35] <Jordan_U> dasunsru1e32: They will be able to evade you by simply exiting screen but for hones people it is easy to setup and convienient for you to connect to their terminal at any time to help them out
[22:35] <dasunsru1e32> Jordan_U: good idea, but the user would still know
[22:35] <dasunsru1e32> ;-)
[22:35] <jMyles> Kieran0413: Looking :-)
[22:36] <Jordan_U> dasunsru1e32: I'm not sure I really want to tell you how to spy on terminals without user's knowing
[22:36] <acicula> dasunsru1e32: its pretty much illigal to monitor without consent
[22:37] <dasunsru1e32> I will figure it out on my own then, besides, it is my server that I own with my money, so I have the right to know what is happening at anytime on my server
[22:37] <yeason> acicula: unless you own the system and they agree to use it under your terms and conditions, iirc
[22:37] <dasunsru1e32> acicula: not if it's my property
[22:37] <dasunsru1e32> ;-)
[22:37] <acicula> yeason: dasunsru1e32 nope, wether you own it or not makes no difference
[22:37] <Jordan_U> dasunsru1e32: Yes you do, but you should be honest to your users and add a banner clearly stating that you are monitoring them
[22:37] <dasunsru1e32> Yep, it doesn
[22:37] <yeason> unless you put forth terms and conditions that state you own, control, and can do w/e the hell you want
[22:38] <ubuntu__> hhh
[22:38] <dasunsru1e32> yeason: I own and do what I want with my server
[22:38] <dasunsru1e32> I am not here to appease people
[22:38] <dasunsru1e32> I am not here to spy on people either
[22:38] <GeCk0> hi
[22:38] <GeCk0> is there any equalizer for alsa ?
[22:38] <dasunsru1e32> I just want a way to check in every once in awhile
[22:39] <Jordan_U> dasunsru1e32: And IANAL but I don't think you owning the server allows you to monitor the people using it without their knowlage
[22:39] <acicula> GeCk0: alsamixer, or just the normal sound icon , acces via right click
[22:39] <GeCk0> there is only a mixer, im looking for an equalizer
[22:39] <dasunsru1e32> Yes, it does, if I have given them SSH access, and I want to know what they are doing, I have every right
[22:39] <acicula> GeCk0: ow
[22:39] <yeason> dasunsrule32: you probably want to put a banner up warning that you reserve the right to do such, because I believe you can still come under fire despite owning the hardware
[22:39] <Jordan_U> dasunsru1e32: Only if you make it clear that you are doing as much
[22:40] <yeason> dasunsrule32: it's a bit of a gray area, but generally you can do what you see fit with your own system
[22:40] <dasunsru1e32> I know that
[22:40] <yeason> just making sure, =)
[22:40] <Jordan_U> dasunsru1e32: And it's immoral even if not illegal
[22:40] <dasunsru1e32> I don't spy on people, but I have sensitive data, and you never know
[22:40] <dasunsru1e32> Jordan_U: It's my data
[22:41] <Seveas> dasunsru1e32, if you don't trust people, don't let them access your box :)
[22:41] <dasunsru1e32> It's me or them, and it's them
[22:41] <dasunsru1e32> :-)
[22:41] <Jordan_U> dasunsru1e32: THen add a banner saying that all actions are logged and subject to monitoring
[22:41] <dasunsru1e32> I don't need to
[22:41] <dasunsru1e32> thanks for the input though
[22:41] <acicula> !ot
[22:41] <yeason> it would be a good idea
[22:41] <Jordan_U> dasunsru1e32: I'm not saying you shouldn't monitor, I'm saying you should be honest about it
[22:41] <dasunsru1e32> I am being honest
[22:41] <GeCk0> acicula:  ow ?
[22:42] <acicula> GeCk0: not you, not sure what you looking for tbh, whats the purpose of an equalizer again?
[22:42] <GeCk0> control basses and trebble
[22:42] <tuxfiction> hello...can someone tell me to what application the ubuntu gnome network manager applet is a frontend ?
[22:42] <GeCk0> frequences
[22:42] <acicula> oh like so
[22:42] <dasunsru1e32> thanks
[22:42] <yeason> GeCk0: I'm pretty sure there isn't one... I've been looking for ages
[22:42] <Seveas> tuxfiction, network-manager
[22:42] <acicula> tuxfiction: nm-applet, frontend for networkmanager etc
[22:42] <erUSUL> tuxfiction: NetworkManager
[22:42] <GeCk0> ok thanks, i was lokking for weeks, too
[22:43] <yeason> GeCk0: depending on what you want it for the program you're using might have one as a plugin
[22:43] <tuxfiction> why don't I find such a program?
[22:44] <GeCk0> yeason:  good idea, thanks, im using ubuntu on a laptop and the speakers need fine-tuning :)
[22:44] <benste> what's the what's  "radio killswitch" - log shows this triggers my wifi to disapear
[22:44] <tuxfiction> shouldnt there be a "networkmanager" binary somewhere? that I can run from console..?
[22:44] <yeason> GeCk0: if you're doing it for music playback I know rythmbox has an EQ plugin... it's not the best but it works in a pinch
[22:44] <Seveas> benste, that means you pressed the wifi switch on your machine
[22:44] <acicula> tuxfiction: its a service, think its called NetworkManager
[22:45] <erUSUL> tuxfiction: NM is a service it has no gui
[22:45] <benste> Seveas: the hardware one - I'm sure I didn't
[22:45] <GeCk0> yeason:  ok thanks, ill take a look on it
[22:45] <acicula> benste: rfkill list will show you
[22:46] <tuxfiction> well my problem is that the graphical network manager doesn't do what I would like and I get no error whatsoever..now my hope was to do the same from console and get some error output
[22:46] <GeCk0> yeason:  do you know the name of the plugin ? its not installed, right now
[22:46] <acicula> tuxfiction: what are you trying to achieve, what did you do, what happened, what did you expect to happen instead
[22:47] <Kamokow> Is it safe to remove the old kernel headers? Because every time i do the updates the old entries stay in grub, so i have a giant list of Ubuntu entries in grub...
[22:47] <erUSUL> Kamokow: it is safwe to remove old kernel. just make sure you have linux-image installed
[22:48] <Kamokow> thanks, so if I just preform like, computer janitor, its safe to remove the old ones that appear in the list?
[22:48] <tuxfiction> acicula, I tried to setup a pptp vpn connection in network manager applet. Did all settings, and when clicking on the newly created connection, just nothing happens. I expect it to open the pptp connection :)
[22:48] <benste> who ever replyed to me - http://pastebin.com/m50ac6fe8
[22:48] <acicula> tuxfiction: well it will output stuff in syslog, why it failed is probably in there
[22:48] <yull> hi all
[22:49] <jonathan__> hello! could anybody please tell me how to modify this command to recursivly delete all .png-files in a directory? rm -rf `find . -type d -name .svn`
[22:49] <nicolindalciucio> ciao c'è qualche italiano?
[22:49] <yeason> GeCk0: see my pm's
[22:49] <erUSUL> jonathan__: !!!!!?
[22:49] <phoenixz> How come that playing an MP3 using mpg123 library, makes mpg123 use 100% CPU on my dualcore 1.896GHz machine??
[22:50] <phoenixz> Even when on pause..
[22:50] <epinky> !it | nicolindalciucio
[22:50] <phoenixz> Those are insane value's, since amarok uses like 5% doing the same.. and this is played from a text console..

[22:50] <Jordan_U> jonathan__: First of all get rid of the "r" and "f" in rm, it
[22:51] <benste> acicula: other ideas what I cuold troubleshoot ?
[22:51] <erUSUL> jonathan__: dunno why you thought what you typed would work
[22:51] <acicula> benste: http://blog.vaidabogdan.com/2008/03/problem-with-wireless-wireless-now.html
[22:51] <Jordan_U> jonathan__: ... it's not needed in this case and means that more can go wrong if you make a mistake
[22:51] <ramiro> hi
[22:51] <Seveas> hi
[22:51] <ramiro> how do I make a deb package from a bunch of binary files? (not from source)
[22:51] <Seveas> !packaging > ramiro
[22:52] <ramiro> thanks
[22:52] <yull> I have a dell vostro 1320 running ubuntu 9.10. I updated some packages (using the automatic update tool), and now I don't have X anymore. Can someone help me? thanks
[22:52] <Seveas> ramiro, stick them in a .tar.gz and call that 'source'. Then follow instructions ubotu gave :)
[22:53] <jonathan__> I know that what i wrote doesn
[22:53] <acicula> yull: have you tried booting the recovery mode?
[22:54] <DreamDemon> I have a major prob
[22:55] <moparisthebest> I need a way to force a device to use high-speed usb (ehci_ucd) instead of full-speed usb (ohci_ucd), does anyone know of a way?
[22:55] <jonathan__> 't work for me, Therefor i wrote "how to modify it". I have a folder containing, lets say, 10 directories. Every directory contains another ten directories. And every of this directories contains files of different types. I would like to delete all png files in every subdirectory with only one command. thats what i meant...
[22:55] <moparisthebest> my tv tuner must use high-speed usb but most of the time ubuntu tries to make it use the slower full-speed and it won't work
[22:56] <erUSUL> jonathan__: already told you how to do it
[22:56] <moparisthebest> all of my ports are 2.0 though, and it has worked in the past, and works on a debian laptop
[22:56] <erUSUL> jonathan__: find directory_name/ -type f -name '*.png' -delete
[22:56] <daftykins> does anyone have any experience with LIRC?
[22:56] <yull> acicula: yes I tried
[22:56] <daftykins> i'm curious as to how to reduce the sensitivity of the buttons on my HTPC's remote
[22:56] <DreamDemon> I added a ext4 partition ( raid 5), mounted it & put it in fstab.  Can write to the dir... noone can execute files in that folder ( ie: steam, hldsupdatetool.bin).  I did a sudo chmod +x onthe files first after downloading them.  Server install is 9.10
[22:57] <erUSUL> DreamDemon: maybe it is mounted noexec ?
[22:58] <DreamDemon> ah - good point - lemme check
[22:58] <mauri> Im still continuing to receive this messegner when quassel starts "[NickServ] This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify <password>."   help me please
[22:58] <acicula> yull: any error messages?
[22:58] <jonathan__> aah thank you
[22:58] <erUSUL> mauri: i recieve it too. it is normal afaik
[22:59] <mauri> erUSUL: tnk
[22:59] <holmser> I can't seem to get any quicktime movies to play for me, even with restricted-extras installed
[22:59] <acicula> mauri: means the nickname you are using is registered and you need to identify to the nickserver
[22:59] <DreamDemon> so now I would need to remount once fstab is updated correct?
[22:59] <erUSUL> holmser: maybe you need w32codecs from medibuntu
[22:59] <mauri> acicula: i dont know how
[22:59] <w00tz> How can I rebuild the Karmic kernel? There's a patch that was resolved and I want to be able to rebuild the kernel. Some of the tutorial I found are for Hardy/Heron, will it be any differnet?

[22:59] <holmser> ahh.... let me check it out
[22:59] <erUSUL> !medibuntu | holmser

[23:00] <DreamDemon> @w00tz: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-customize-your-ubuntu-kernel/
[23:00] <acicula> mauri: then you cannot identify to the nickserer anyway
[23:00] <w00tz> DreamDemon: Thanks.
[23:01] <Kamokow> Okay, is there other a way that I can manually edit Grub 2 entries, or downgrade to the old grub, the current grub's not allowing me to customize boot entries thing, is annoying me...
[23:01] <shivraj> uhh whats the name of the stable release ?
[23:01] <erUSUL> !karmic
[23:01] <mauri> acicula: ok even if i dont underwstand which is the differnt between registered or not

[23:02] <adamonline45> Hi, I'm going to set up remote desktop by following this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/share-your-ubuntu-desktop-using-remote-desktop.html and it seems okay, but is there a solution that doesn't require me to have a login session?
[23:02] <dahmer> putem cere ajutor in limba romana?
[23:02] <mauri> erUSUL: nno prbl
[23:03] <DreamDemon> @erUSUL: sudo: unable to execute ./hldsupdatetool.bin: No such file or directory << even after setting exec in fstab and remounting the drive
[23:03] <holmser> installed w32codecs, still no dice
[23:03] <adamonline45> DreamDemon: Hit that last night... let me find the lib you need to install...
[23:04] <erUSUL> DreamDemon: No such file or directory <<<< i take that you rechecked that the file is there for sure ...
[23:04] <DreamDemon> adamonline45: Thanks!
[23:04] <mauri> has someone tried the teletect with vlc?
[23:04] <adamonline45> DreamDemon: sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1

[23:05] <psycose> While filling a bug report, I first did a "Also affects distribution" with an empty URL, now i would like to fill the URL so that LP can sync ... is it possible ?
[23:05] <holmser> nevermind... seems to be the website's issue
[23:05] <DreamDemon> @erUSUL: Yeah, the file exisits
[23:05] <erUSUL> DreamDemon: adamonline45 install --> ia32-libs
[23:06] <DreamDemon> @adamonline45: Thanks - installing it now
[23:06] <DreamDemon> adadonline45: Thanks much to both you and erUSUL
[23:06] <adamonline45> erUSUL: Okay, I can do that... What's the difference?
[23:07] <nullkuhl> can i install ubuntu on a mac ( native installation not using a virtual machine ) ?
[23:07] <erUSUL> adamonline45: well more complete :)
[23:07] <erUSUL> nullkuhl: yes; you can
[23:07] <iceroot> nullkuhl: yes
[23:07] <macman_> yes ..
[23:07] <psycose> Using launchpad, while filling a bug report, I first did a "Also affects distribution" with an empty bug URL, now i would like to fill the bug URL so that LP can sync ... is it possible ?
[23:07] <erUSUL> !apple
[23:07] <iceroot> nullkuhl: use ppc if it is a real mac or using x86 if it is a intel mac
[23:07] <benste> psycho usually you could expand the project alter and add an upstream tracker
[23:07] <macman_> erUSUL: use bootcamp / parition it and then when you reboot putubuntu cd in :P
[23:07] <erUSUL> iceroot: so intel macs are not real macs ;) LOL
[23:08] <adamonline45> DreamDemon: My pleasure :)  I'm a 3-year cs server vet, let me know if you have any roadblocks...
[23:08] <Jordan_U> nullkuhl: macman_ No need for boot camp
[23:08] <adamonline45> erUSUL: Alright, done, thanks :)
[23:08] <erUSUL> macman_: you want to tell nullkuhl :)
[23:08] <macman_> my bad
[23:08] <iceroot> erUSUL: yes
[23:08] <iceroot> erUSUL: fakemac ;)
[23:09] <macman_> nullkuhl: you need to run bootcamp / parition reboot and put in ubuntu cd
[23:09] <adamonline45> Is it possible to VNC into my machine without a logged on user?
[23:09] <nullkuhl> macman_: can i triple boot windows, mac, linux ?
[23:09] <Jordan_U> nullkuhl: Yes
[23:09] <macman_> nullkuhl: yes
[23:09] <DreamDemon> mac IS linux
[23:09] <iceroot> nullkuhl: yes
[23:09] <courpse> Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal
[23:09] <courpse> Any ideas on how to resolve
[23:09] <Kieran0413> DreamDemon, no it's not.
[23:09] <del_diablo> !esd
[23:09] <courpse> ?
[23:09] <nightfrog> mac is not linux
[23:10] <DreamDemon> the core is based off BSD is it not?
[23:10] <iceroot> DreamDemon: mac is unix
[23:10] <del_diablo> !pulse
[23:10] <nightfrog> darwin
[23:10] <Kieran0413> BSD != Linux.
[23:10] <Kieran0413> And it's bastardised BSD at that.
[23:10] <del_diablo> !alsa
[23:10] <erUSUL> del_diablo: that reads use pulseaudio instead
[23:10] <adamonline45> DreamDemon: If anything it's BSD... but, not quite anymore :)
[23:10] <nightfrog> darwin is based on bsd
[23:10] <benste> adamonline45: guess not cause usually VNC session is on a per user basis, you may want to try remote login instead
[23:10] <del_diablo> erUSUL: Why is ESD removed and replaced with Pulseaudio that got broken defaults?
[23:10] <erUSUL> Mac OS X kernel is an hybrid betwenn Mach kernel and FreeBSD
[23:11] <courpse> Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal
[23:11] <agliodbs> if I have a brand-new Dell Mini with Netbook 8.04 on it
[23:11] <courpse> Any ideas on how to resolve?
[23:11] <erUSUL> del_diablo: esd is even more broken
[23:11] <agliodbs> what's the fastest/easiest way to upgrade it?
[23:11] <adamonline45> benste: Is that possible to have a remote desktop session with?
[23:11] <wng-> is there a way I can have /var and /tmp on the same partition, but not the same partition as / ?
[23:11] <acicula> agliodbs: reinstall 9.10, you have to incrementally upgrade distros otherwise
[23:11] <del_diablo> erUSUL: Explain yoursefl about it?
[23:11] <acicula> agliodbs: remember to backup your data first though
[23:12] <benste> adamonline45: I've jsut to restart my machine, but if you'll send me an message when I com back (1min) I may help you
[23:12] <tuxfiction> hello, can someone help me to get a detailed error message for a failed pptp vpn connection? when connection, the gnome network manager applet just says "connection failed", also there is nothing in the syslog. How could I get more details? thanks
[23:12] <mauri> has someone tried the teletect with vlc?
[23:12] <del_diablo> tuxfiction: try dmesg
[23:12] <agliodbs> acicula: brand new machine, so no data
[23:12] <erUSUL> del_diablo: esd is obsolete the same way xmms1 is. it is not developed anymore nobody uses it. you either use pulseaudio or plain alsa this days
[23:12] <acicula> agliodbs: reinstall will definitly be faster then 3 distribution upgrades
[23:13] <tuxfiction> del_diablo, nothing either :(
[23:13] <agliodbs> acicula: given that the machine has no CD, what's the easiest way to do this?
[23:13] <nightfrog> tuxfiction: try tcpdump
[23:13] <acicula> agliodbs: usb stick
[23:13] <agliodbs> acicula: that's relatively easy?
[23:13] <del_diablo> erUSUL: Wikipedia claims ESD is GNOME only, what did KDE use?
[23:13] <Kieran0413> agliodbs, Installation from usb is pretty simple
[23:13] <acicula> agliodbs: install unetbootin, lets you create an usb stick by clicking
[23:13] <erUSUL> del_diablo: artsd
[23:13] <acicula> !usbstick
[23:13] <del_diablo> !artsd
[23:14] <erUSUL> del_diablo: but all this is old history :)
[23:14] <tuxfiction> nightfrog, tcpdump..thats quite low-level...isnt there some log file of the pptp program or something?
[23:14] <scott_ino2> tuxfiction, this might not help, but did you make sure you install the pptp support for network manager? Not sure if this is required but when i setup my vpn service i needed it.
[23:14] <wng-> is there a way I can have /var and /tmp on the same partition, but not the same partition as / ?
[23:14] <acicula> !usb | agliodbs
[23:14] <del_diablo> erUSUL: No really, tell me, enlighten me beyond what is not told.
[23:14] <erUSUL> wng-: yes
[23:14] <apanda> i'm trying to remote help someone, why does "sudo echo "cd ~/ダウンロード/AssaultCube_v1.0.2 && ./assaultcube.sh" > /bin/ac.sh" get a permission denied?
[23:14] <tuxfiction> scott_ino2, yes everything should be present..I was also able to configure it in gnome network manager
[23:15] <acicula> del_diablo: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/cleanup-audio-jumble
[23:15] <del_diablo> acicula: ty
[23:15] <acicula> (changes go via blueprints ussually)
[23:15] <scott_ino2> tuxfiction, gotcha, just checking, not sure if i can help anymore than that ;)
[23:15] <courpse> Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal
[23:16] <courpse> Any ideas on how to resolve?
[23:16] <Kamokow> is there any way to install legacy grub over ubuntu 9.10?
[23:16] <tuxfiction> scott_ino2, no problem, thanks anyway :)
[23:16] <IdleOne> apanda: does ./assaultcube.sh" > /bin/ac.sh need sudo?
[23:16] <acicula> Kamokow: you want to keep grub1 instead of the default?
[23:16] <erUSUL> wng-: mount the parition that holds the tw dirs then link them in the apropiate places or mount --bind them
[23:16] <apanda> IdleOne i thought writing to /bin needs sudo, he said he got "permission denied" without
[23:16] <adamonline45> benste, benste1 are you back? :)
[23:16] <NotTooSmart> how would I go about copying an ubuntu install from a larger HD to a smaller one?
[23:16] <Kamokow> acicula: Yes, because i much prefer customization of the grub1 over grub2's, and i dont much see what benefits i get through grub2
[23:17] <IdleOne> apanda: try sudo echo "cd ~/ダウンロード/AssaultCube_v1.0.2 && sudo ./assaultcube.sh" > /bin/ac.sh
[23:17] <acicula> Kamokow: its the distro default, but err i suppose you can reinstall grub1 and remove grub2? afaik 9.10 still supports it, wouldnt expect support for it for to long though
[23:17] <apanda> assaultcube doesnt need superuser IdleOne
[23:17] <wng-> erUSUL: o
[23:18] <IdleOne> apanda: I didn't think so either, was guessing
[23:18] <benste1> administrateur: yip, had problem cause "name in use error"
[23:18] <trism> apanda: it won't work like that because the redirect is captured by the shell before sudo gets it
[23:18] <militant> kinda confused.  i installed 9.10 on a laptop yesterday and a desktop today.  the software i'm trying to use uses OSS fine on the laptop but says no sound device available on the desktop...
[23:18] <wng-> erUSUL: I'm having trouble at boot time, I have symlinked all the directories, but it looks like when ubuntu is booting, it mounts / and is looking in var's symlink that isn't mounted
[23:18] <benste1> administrateur: sry wrong nik
[23:18] <lizardking> Hi all, having a  bit of trouble with DVD playback following deo an install of Ubuntu 9.10 on an Dell Inspiron 1300. The video playback is all choppy and unwatchable. Downloadd video files work fine though, it only affects dvd playback? Can anyon help?
[23:18] <Kamokow> acicula: Okay, well, i dont really want to have to re-install grub2 later, maybe i'll just stick with grub2, and figure out what i want to do with it :-/
[23:18] <trism> apanda: just create the file and then copy it with sudo after
[23:18] <agliodbs> does usb-creator on Ubuntu require a GUI desktop?
[23:18] <benste1> adamonline45:
[23:18] <benste1> adamonline45: yip, had problem cause "name in use error"
[23:19] <adamonline45> benste1: i think you meant me :)  Ahh, okay, no problem.
[23:19] <apanda> trism yes thanks, im creating it in his home now, if it works, i'll do that ;)
[23:19] <del_diablo> !dmix
[23:19] <j4ke> !pulseaudio
[23:20] <militant> del_diablo, thanks.  sound is working though, in everything else, so i'm just wondering if OSS is something that has to be added
[23:21] <del_diablo> militant: NEVER have 2 apies working against each other, either you emulate OSS you are install it to replace ALSA
[23:22] <militant> del_diablo, ahh ok.  i understand that much.  i'm just terribly confused, as the OSS audio plugin for my app worked fine on a default 9.10 install on one machine, but not on another machine.  i'm a bit lost
[23:22] <del_diablo> militant: My only advice to to remove something called pulseaudio, and install something called "also-oss" or "oss-alsa".
[23:23] <del_diablo> militant: I really got no idea ^^
[23:23] <lizardking> Hi all, having a  bit of trouble with DVD playback following an install of Ubuntu 9.10 on an Dell Inspiron 1300. The video playback is all choppy and unwatchable. Downloaded video files work fine though, it only affects dvd playback? Can anyone help?
[23:23] <militant> del_diablo, okie will check into it.  thx
[23:24] <Flootenkerp> Hi, does anyone here know the link for the wubi install for ubuntu 9.04?
[23:24] <Flootenkerp> I can only find 9.10
[23:25] <del_diablo> Flootenkerp: Download the normal 9.04 image, it should default be on the CD
[23:25] <erUSUL> militant: use « padsp you_app_that_use_oss »
[23:25] <Flootenkerp> I would, but I ran out of cd-rs
[23:25] <Flootenkerp> I need the exe file.
[23:25] <militant> del_diablo, well that just completely wiped out sound in everything else too, like my browser/youtube :/
[23:25] <del_diablo> Flootenkerp: Mount the .iso like you would do with a game <3
[23:26] <erUSUL> Flootenkerp: mont the iso. copy the exe
[23:26] <del_diablo> militant: :(
[23:26] <apanda> you can download old wubi installers
[23:26] <Flootenkerp> I don't really know how to mount an iso... sorry, I'm a noob
[23:26] <jukebox-zero> Is anyone here passingly familiar with the grub? For instance if I change the line in my grub.cfg linux /vmlinuz root=UUID[whatever] ro quiet splash. If i take out the quiet part, does that mean it'll be more verbose?
[23:26] <militant> basically the issue is my playstation emulator (epsxe) has an oss plugin that works a lot better than the alsa one.  *shrug*
[23:27] <erUSUL> jukebox-zero: yes but you should do this in /etc/default/grub
[23:27] <del_diablo> militant: What happens if you use oss instead of alsa?
[23:27] <erUSUL> jukebox-zero: you should not edit grub.cfg directly
[23:27] <lizardking> Flootenkerp daemontools will help with iso mount. Not too hard
[23:27] <erUSUL> jukebox-zero: alse remove splash so you can see the messages
[23:27] <derkmiller> I am trying to get my work laptop to log into my works domain. I am having a hard time with it. What it needs to do at my work is access Printers, Network Drives and Exchange Email. Does any one know any good sources?
[23:27] <Flootenkerp> Alright, but just in case, do you know where the link is for previous wubi install releases?
[23:27] <militant> del_diablo, as in, in the app's options?  or system-wide
[23:27] <erUSUL> jukebox-zero: after editing /etc/default/grub run « sudo update-grub »
[23:27] <del_diablo> militant: systemwide from synaptic
[23:28] <coolkehon> hi
[23:28] <coolkehon> wheres a mod
[23:28] <militant> will check
[23:28] <Flootenkerp> I think I found it.
[23:28] <agliodbs> hmmm ... looks like I need a graphical desktop to use the usb-creatory
[23:28] <lizardking>  Hi all, having a  bit of trouble with DVD playback following an install of Ubuntu 9.10 on an Dell Inspiron 1300. The video playback is all choppy and unwatchable. Downloaded video files work fine though, it only affects dvd playback? Can anyone help?
[23:28] <jukebox-zero> esUSUL Yeah, but I *have* to edit directly because it won't boot until I disable UUID. Gotta do it from live CD
[23:28] <coolkehon> i need the shellium vhost unbaned from ubuntu plz
[23:28] <agliodbs> my other ubuntu machine is a server, headless
[23:28] <coolkehon> i need the shellium vhost unbaned from #ubuntu plz
[23:28] <agliodbs> suggestions?
[23:28] <jrib> coolkehon: /join #ubuntu-ops
 when i try to go to a url or search i get an error message
 "engine has no file"
[23:28] <psvasti> * SQlvpapir has quit (Operation timed out)
 when i try to find my version of firefox i get a little sliver of a window with no info
 im using 8.04 ubuntu :s
[23:28] <FloodBot4> psvasti: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:28] <erUSUL> coolkehon: join #ubuntu-ops
[23:28] <apanda> Flootenkerp http://sourceforge.net/projects/wubi/files/ it was in the faq :)
[23:28] <militant> erUSUL, padsp worked for that run, gave me sound back and using the oss plugin too.  will check del_diablo's suggestion first and padsp is a fine workaround also it seems
[23:29] <psvasti> ok mister FloodBot4
[23:29] <rcy> hello.  since upgrading from 8.10 to 9.10 via 9.04 (x86) many applications show boxes everywhere instead of characters.  any idea how to track the problem down?
[23:29] <erUSUL> militant: padsp is *the* workaraund; removing things will only break other programs
[23:29] <derkmiller> Can some one that is familiar with Ubuntu on Windows Domain PM me. Thanks
[23:29] <militant> hmmm could be.  good point
[23:30] <tuxfiction> someone has an idea why I can't establish my pptp-connection? tcpdump did not give any clues, I suspect it does't even get to any network activities
[23:30] <erUSUL> militant: you can do an alias or a launcher or a script to allways call the emulator under padsp. that's the correc thing to do
[23:30] <del_diablo> erUSUL: Why does not ship with barebone alsa instead of alsapulse?
[23:30] <iceroot> derkmiller: sounds like a samba-issue have a look at #samba  or ask the question here to the channel
[23:30] <militant> that's what i figured, i have a script that runs my emulator, i'll just add padsp in
[23:30] <lizardking> Nobody interested in helping little old me?
[23:30] <psvasti> what's wrong king koopa?
[23:31] <erUSUL> del_diablo: what; ubuntu? pulseaudio is considered the way fordward just like ext4 or other technologies
[23:31] <lizardking>  Hi all, having a  bit of trouble with DVD playback following an install of Ubuntu 9.10 on an Dell Inspiron 1300. The video playback is all choppy and unwatchable. Downloaded video files work fine though, it only affects dvd playback? Can anyone help?
[23:31] <derkmiller> thanks
[23:31] <iceroot> lizardking: what player?
[23:31] <del_diablo> erUSUL: Ext4 was at the least stable, in stark contrast.
[23:31] <erUSUL> del_diablo: you are free to disagree though.
[23:31] <coolkehon> !admin
[23:31] <coolkehon> oh
[23:31] <coolkehon> sorry
[23:31] <coolkehon> wrong window :P
[23:32] <lizardking> iceroot: Thanks! vlc is choppy. Other players refuse outright and give a black screen. All codecs are installed
[23:32] <jauntyj> greetings can anyone help me pick up a good audio format convertor need to convert mp3 to wma. unfortunately one of my disc player plays only
[23:32] <erUSUL> del_diablo: pulseaudio has worked for me great even when it was not called pulseudio ; so my experience is great with it. but you know anecdotal evidence (your or mine) in not evidence at all. PA works for a lot of people
[23:32] <iceroot> lizardking: using compiz?
[23:33] <del_diablo> erUSUL: Pulse works on my rig, but I notice that a lot of people had some sort of problems with it. I really wanted to see if somebody actually knew shit, and why pulse got into the system in the first place.
[23:33] <emes> how can I change the resolution of the login console?
[23:33] <lizardking> iceroot: Disabled compiz to see if it made a difference. But alas it did not!
[23:34] <kraitos> can anyone tell me how to change the dns server ip ? i changed it before but it went back to default after i restarted it.
[23:35] <dahmer> change the resolution of the login console   {CTRL-ALT-F1} ?
[23:35] <sshinobi> whats the syntax for chmod for root to execute a file?
[23:36] <dahmer> vox clamantis in deserto
[23:36] <sixtila> i just started having request for keyring -is it some kinda attack? (i didn't see it until i installed webcalendar) http://uppix.net/c/f/8/bb49165035a07a5c58b2ef819ef44.png(
[23:36] <jukebox-zero> Okay, disabled UUID. Will use /etc/default/grub to uncomment the disable UUID the right way then update-grub on reboot to assure good tastyness. Regarding my earlier question, if I take out the quiet but leave the splash will it print some output beneath the ubuntu splash screen? I have a Dapper system that does that and that"s what I'm trying to acheive.
[23:37] <jukebox-zero> Or does leaving splash render taking out quiet moot?
[23:38] <FireCrotch> anyone know off hand if there's a way to have `top` only show the first 5 lines of output (basically everything thats not the process list)?
[23:38] <Needs_Hel> can soeone tell me the name of the program that gets this for me?
[23:38] <Needs_Hel> http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/1082/screenshotwig.png
[23:38] <Needs_Hel> i really want my desktop to look like this
[23:38] <sshinobi> is it "chmod -x./filename"?
[23:38] <acicula> Needs_Hel: the thing to the right is conky
[23:38] <Needs_Hel> how do i get it
[23:38] <acicula> Needs_Hel: rest is just a bogstandard theme
[23:39] <Bullterd> Evening Gang
[23:39] <Bullterd> This is a retardedly simple one
[23:39] <Bullterd> but ive been up >30 hours so ive forgotten :D
[23:39] <acicula> Needs_Hel: apt-get install conky, you'll need to google stuff to set it up like that though
[23:39] <Bullterd> how can I display all the network interfaces my box is seeing?
[23:39] <acicula> Bullterd: ifconfig
[23:39] <Bullterd> no, thats the configured ones
[23:39] <Bullterd> im on about the ones the system sees
[23:39] <Bullterd> i.e. the ones ive not configed yet
[23:39] <sshinobi> dmesg?
[23:39] <Bullterd> iftool?
[23:40] <Bullterd> apt-get install iftool doesnt work though :(
[23:40] <sshinobi> is the syntax to changing file permissios for root to execute "chmod -x./filename"?
[23:40] <lizardking> iceroot: you recieved my last broadcast?
[23:40] <Bullterd> Doh
[23:40] <Bullterd> I got it
[23:40] <Bullterd> cheers
[23:41] <sshinobi> is the syntax to changing file permissios for root to execute "chmod -x./filename"?
[23:42] <VCoolio> sshinobi: permissions are owner - group - rest; not about root / user; what are you trying to do?

[23:44] <oriba> offivccial stuff?
[23:45] <sshinobi> I'm trying to run a flashing program to induce RD mode on my Nokia N800. I've downloaded a program called flasher-3.0 to my download folder. I've achieved root by "sudo su", and then I try to run the program, and it says Permission denied.
[23:45] <jukebox-zero> Other issue I'm having is I've got the Nvidia 96 driver installed for an ancient Asus 9700 NV11 card [=GeForce MX] and on each reboot it reverts me to 800x600 res. When I try to save settings via Nvidia xserver settings dialog it tells me it can't access xorg.conf how can I fix this?
[23:45] <sshinobi> There was a user on here an hour ago that gave me the right command, but my device wasn't working right, so I rebooted.
[23:45] <sshinobi> Could it be because I"m using a livecd instead of installing it to my HDD?
[23:46] <lizardking> guess i'll just reinstall trusty old windows if nobody can help.
[23:46] <VCoolio> sshinobi: I don't know what app it is and if it needs root; but maybe you need to make it executable first; "chmod +x filename" then try again
[23:47] <sshinobi> alright, I'll see what I can do.
[23:47] <sshinobi> Thanks!
[23:47] <emes> what's the correct way to get wpa_supplicant to start up on system startup? in /etc/network/interfaces?
[23:47] <lizardking> it worked perfect on windows, linux must just suck.
[23:48] <kraitos> can anyone tell me how to change dns server?
[23:48] <ardchoille> lizardking: Please be productive here
[23:48] <Kieran0413> kraitos, /etc/resolv.conf
[23:48] <epinky> kraitos: use network manager or edit /etc/resolv.conf file
[23:48] <iflema> lizardking: whats ya com specs, cpu, ram?
[23:48] <ardchoille> lizardking: Did you install libdvdcss2?
[23:49] <kraitos> kieran0413, right i've done that before but after i restarted my computer it went to default.
[23:49] <Kieran0413> kraitos, weird, it shouldn't unless networkmanager is changing it, I'm not sure if it does or not though, try changing via network-manager
[23:50] <quietone> emes: sorry I can't help. But I'd like to learn what you are trying to do.
[23:50] <kraitos> kieran0413, were is network-manager at?
[23:50] <nightfrog> lizardking do you have the proper video card drivers installed?
[23:50] <lizardking> iflema: Thankyou! How do I check specs its a Dell Inspiron 1300?
[23:51] <Kieran0413> kraitos, System -> Preferences -> Network Connections
[23:51] <ardchoille> lizardking: Did you install libdvdcss2?
[23:51] <kraitos> kieran0413, i've found it thanks
[23:51] <mkanyicy> kraitos, maybe next time backup resolve.conf
[23:52] <lizardking> nightfrog: Graphics drivrs worked out of box with no proprietary drivr install
[23:52] <nightfrog> lizardking: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras will install all the codecs you need and no linux doesnt suck just because YOU cant get a video to play
[23:52] <lizardking> ardchoile: is libdvdcss2 in gstreamer packs?
[23:52] <agroker> is it possible to upgrade directly from one LTS to the following LTS?
[23:53] <ardchoille> lizardking: No, you need to run a command:  sudo sh /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[23:53] <trism> emes: that would work, just add: wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to the wlan0 section and generate that file with wpa_passphrase
[23:53] <nightfrog> agroker yes but dont
[23:53] <agroker> nightfrog, every OS upgrade messes up my fglrx install, so I was looking for ways to avoid frequent upgrades
[23:54] <lizardking> nightfrog: thanks! I don't really think linux sucks, I only said that so somebody would help!
[23:54] <nightfrog> well you need to reinstall drivers every upgrade
[23:54] <agroker> nightfrog, I do :-(
[23:54] <lizardking> ardchoille: can I use synaptic, i'm not so hot with the trminal?
[23:55] <ardchoille> lizardking: no, it's not in the repos, you just run that command I pasted
[23:55] <jukebox-zero> Anyone here familiar with the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? i.e. What I need to change to have it remember I want a 1280x1024 resolution?
[23:55] <ardchoille> lizardking: Also, getting familiar with the terminal will help you in the long run, it's faster and more powerful
[23:55] <iflema> look in synaptic... see if these things are allready there.
[23:56] <nightfrog> lizardking dont run that install script. not really recommended. just run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[23:57] <lizardking> ardchoille: ok done! will i try vlc with a dvd now?
[23:57] <kinja-sheep> Does anybody know how I can improve my networking speed? I'm currently at a friend's farm where it resides in a middle of nowhere and using Satellite disc for Internet access.
[23:57] <jukebox-zero> And yes, I realize I could google it. I'm working on bigger issues and I'm trying to just ask questions here that someone can answer with a quick "do this"
[23:57] <Kieran0413> kinja-sheep, then its bound to be slow, not much you can do about that.
[23:57] <ardchoille> nightfrog: he won't be able to view encrypted dvd's if he doesn't install libdvdcss and libdvdcss is not in the repos.
[23:57] <ardchoille> lizardking: yes
[23:58] <ingerashu> i have ubuntu 9.10 and i installed vlc player for linux. but instead of text menus it shows some symbols
[23:58] <ingerashu> what should i do?
[23:58] <nightfrog> ardchoille: of course since its illegal in most countries
[23:58] <blakkheim> !info libdvdcss2
[23:59] <blakkheim> :(
[23:59] <Orias> its in the medibuntu repo
[23:59] <jpds> blakkheim: Install libdvd4 and run /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[23:59] <ingerashu> any help?
[23:59] <blakkheim> jpds: i already have it
[23:59] <lizardking> ardchoille: You are sex god king. I bow to your awesomeness. Thx x 100
