[00:00] <devunt> good morning!
[00:01] <apoch2020> on another note:  could someone explain  how to make the  onboard apache server NOT  start up at boot time?  I run a different server and  up till now I am having to  manually kill the  apache instance  and manaually start up  my own server.
[00:01] <ckhikuzad> alright im going to log in on xchat
[00:01] <Um_cara_qualquer> kinja-sheep, hehe yes yes
[00:01] <Um_cara_qualquer> kinja-sheep, i would kill myself if that was the problem
[00:01] <apoch2020> it does not seem to  be in the startup apps list
[00:01] <kinja-sheep> Um_cara_qualquer: You borked it. :(
[00:01] <duke_> hello i write this dokumente="/home/duke/Dokumente/Texte/"  in /etc/environment   made restart tried with export befor and at the end but it doesnt work
[00:01] <j_ack> j_ack: .
[00:01] <apoch2020> das a kick
[00:01] <Um_cara_qualquer> what is bork?
[00:02] <kinja-sheep> Um_cara_qualquer: I don't know what else I could suggest. Did you did something recently that cause this? bork = broke
[00:02] <apoch2020> :p
[00:02] <Um_cara_qualquer> ah
[00:02] <CkhiKuzad> alright, i'm back
[00:02] <Um_cara_qualquer> i don't think so

[00:02] <j_ack> #ubuntu-de
[00:02] <boozehead> good morning
[00:03] <boozehead> yeah it works
[00:03] <alteregoa> Um_cara_qualquer: just eat some candy bars, its ok
[00:03] <apoch2020> applications which depend on network access do seem to be able to work fine in crossover/ wine but I wonder how installing a piece of hardware would work  out.....  probably a spectacular failure
[00:03] <Um_cara_qualquer> uhaahu
[00:03] <morphix> apoch2020, sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 remove
[00:03] <apoch2020> oh thanks
[00:03] <Um_cara_qualquer> better smoke something...
[00:03] <morphix> then you can manually start it by sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[00:03] <morphix> and then shutdown with "stop" instead of start
[00:03] <morphix> :)
[00:04] <Elite_> Hi guys anyone know if i install this card Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 along with v4l-dvb-725c07a70453.tar.gz after ubuntu 9.04 is installed will work ?
[00:04] <alteregoa> elite, just try it
[00:04] <Elite_> why would i do that ?
[00:04] <StevenX> hey, is there any way to find out how much ram i have installed?
[00:04] <alteregoa> why not?
[00:04] <BluesKaj> Elite_, it might work with tvtime
[00:04] <BluesKaj> !tvtime
[00:04] <Elite_> the card costs $170 bucks
[00:04] <amb_> hi @ all
[00:04] <blakkheim> StevenX: free
[00:04] <BluesKaj> !info tvtime
[00:05] <StevenX> blakkheim, really? haha, I'll try it.
[00:05] <morphix> steve, type "free -m"
[00:05] <Rabbitbunny> How would I start the Nvidia X settings as root? My resolution won't stick and it keeps changing back every time I boot.
[00:05] <ardchoille> !away > KamusHadenes
[00:05] <morphix> in terminal
[00:05] <cjae> !passwords
[00:05] <alteregoa> do my car drive with 10% percent of alcohol - why should i test that? -
[00:05] <kinja-sheep> Um_cara_qualquer: I can't help anymore. I'm out of ideas. Install few packages + VLC and run the script usually get the job done for me.
[00:05] <amb_> all: how can I manage to boot USB devices with grub2
[00:05] <cjae> !passwordmanager
[00:05] <CkhiKuzad> CRAP!
[00:05] <alteregoa> Um_cara_qualquer: try another DVD
[00:05] <CkhiKuzad> i just formatted the wrong drive.
[00:05] <Elite_> i do not think you understand my Q
[00:05] <StevenX> morphix, it says 3023, so I'm guessing that's 3 gigs?
[00:05] <blakkheim> CkhiKuzad: good job
[00:05] <Um_cara_qualquer> hm
[00:05] <cjae> good password manager?
[00:06] <CkhiKuzad> is there any way to recover data from a solid stare memory drive?
[00:06] <alteregoa> Um_cara_qualquer: some DVDs are not readable even with libdvdcss2
[00:06] <blakkheim> cjae: a text file
[00:06] <morphix> steve, next do "Mem:" ? then yes
[00:06] <ardchoille> cjae: I use revelation
[00:06] <CkhiKuzad> state**
[00:06] <Elite_> most times any hardware must be installed first before installing ubuntu
[00:06] <kinja-sheep> Um_cara_qualquer: You could try enabling the Medibuntu repo and get updated packages. Try different DVDs (as alteregoa could be right).
[00:06] <Um_cara_qualquer> that's an example i guess
[00:06] <Elite_> if not ubuntu does not find it
[00:06] <Um_cara_qualquer> hmm
[00:06] <Um_cara_qualquer> let's see
 StevenX , next do "Mem:" ? then yes **
[00:06] <Rabbitbunny> Elite_: It figures it out when you boot with new hardware.
[00:07] <apoch2020> I seem to remember some years back,  there was a website that would actually wrap a native windows driver  FOR you ,  all you did was give them the kernel version  and they asked for a few dollars I believe... which was totally worht it to me
[00:07] <Rabbitbunny> So.. How would I figure out what command is being run when I click a menu item?
[00:07] <cjae> blakkheim: i c need gui for g/f
[00:07] <Elite_> Rabbitbunny ok thank you thats all i wanted to know before i went out and bought the card
[00:07] <morphix> apoch2020, ndiswrapper allows windows drivers to be used on linux
[00:08] <apoch2020> I have wrapped a few drivers  myself  yes :)
[00:08] <ardchoille> Rabbitbunny: right click the menubar, choose edit menus and find the menu item. double click it to see its settings
[00:08] <Rabbitbunny> Elite_: Check the Hardware Compatability List. google knows where it is.
[00:08] <alteregoa> sudo aptitude install regionset
[00:08] <Elite_> i know this card is supported under ubuntu
[00:08] <apoch2020> but this  DWL 520 seems even  more complex
[00:08] <blakkheim> cjae: xterm -e vi passwords.txt
[00:08] <Undertow> anyone here have an nVidia GeForce 9800 GT?
[00:08] <Rabbitbunny> Elite_: Ah, It'll find it and prompt you.
[00:08] <blakkheim> !anyone | Undertow
[00:08] <Rabbitbunny> ardchoille: Thank you, was trying to right click on the item itself.
[00:09] <aaditya> how do I reconfigure a package?
[00:09] <sheldon> hello all, i get a strange install ubuntu
[00:09] <alteregoa> Umqualquier or something sudo aptitude install regionset
[00:09] <ardchoille> cjae: If you're looking for a gui password manager, try Revelation from the repos
[00:09] <sheldon> when the kernel load i lost my screen
[00:09] <alteregoa> and select the Region
[00:09] <aaditya> `dpkg-reconfigure -a packagename` didn't seem to exactly work.
[00:09] <sheldon> he becomes black
[00:09] <Elite_> Can I use the WinTV-HVR-1600 with Linux?
[00:09] <Elite_> Yes, you can find the latest Linux drivers here: http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/
[00:09] <Elite_> Additional information about Linux can be found here: http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Main_Page
[00:09] <sheldon> and ubuntu continue to run
[00:09] <Undertow> blakkheim, I used envyng-qt to config my nvidia and all that comes up is that white circle logo and hangs
[00:10] <Elite_> thats from the webpage who makes  the card
[00:10] <Undertow> xorg.conf never works right
[00:10] <sheldon> i dont have any terminal
[00:10] <alteregoa> Um_cara_qualquer: Brazil is region 4
[00:10] <aaditya> !enter | sheldon
[00:10] <sheldon> okay
[00:10] <StevenX> This is a non-ubuntu question, but is there a good guide on how to open a laptop to clean it?
[00:10] <Um_cara_qualquer> alteregoa, ?
[00:11] <aaditya> StevenX: #ubuntu-offtopic might be a better place to ask that.
[00:11] <Undertow> sheldon, don't sweat it man, there are mad toolsheds here, you'll get used to their rhetoric after a while
[00:11] <cjae> ardchoille: gtk?
[00:11] <ardchoille> cjae: yes
[00:11] <Elite_> undertow i do what do you need help with ?

[00:12] <sheldon> Undertow, i dont understand...
[00:12] <Elite_> Undertow did you install the lastest driver ?
[00:12] <ardchoille> cjae: I blogged about revelation: http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/08/managing-user-names-and-passwords.html
[00:12] <amb_> all: how can I manage to boot USB devices with grub2
[00:12] <Undertow> glxgears runs fine without even having an xorg.conf, I tried installing the restricted nvidia drivers and X11 just comes up with a white circle logo, did the same thing with envyng-qt
[00:12] <Undertow> it just hangs after you use the nvidia driver
[00:12] <cjae> ardchoille: know of of qt one by chance? asked in #kubuntu as well
[00:13] <blakkheim> cjae: konsole -e vi passwords.txt
[00:13] <Losha> Undertow: 'mad toolsheds'?
[00:13] <amb_> how can I manage to boot USB devices with grub2
[00:13] <Undertow> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] (rev a2)
[00:14] <cjae> blakkheim: vi is a little advanced for me but will try, this will encrypt too?
[00:14] <Elite_> Undertow the one from synaptic package manager ?
[00:14] <Undertow> 	Kernel modules: nvidiafb
[00:14] <Undertow> synatpic?
[00:14] <Undertow> I used apt-get
[00:14] <ardchoille> cjae: pen a terminal and run: apt-cache search password | grep manager
[00:14] <Undertow> to get envyng-qt
[00:14] <Undertow> and the restricted drivers do the same thing
[00:14] <Elite_> Undertow one sec.
[00:14] <Undertow> whats the white circle ubuntu logo mean?
[00:15] <Undertow> where is that in the boot sequence for 9.10
[00:15] <digilord> I am running with the restricted Nvidia drivers in Karmic with a GTS 250 and 3D runs great
[00:15] <Undertow> (i.e., did it make it to gdm?)
[00:15] <Undertow> whats your xorg.conf look like
[00:15] <digilord> Sec and I will dpaste
[00:15] <Undertow> does it say driver "nv"
[00:15] <ardchoille> Undertow: no, gdm isn't started until after the bootsplash screen
[00:16] <Undertow> what screen is the white circle logo
[00:16] <Undertow> bootsplash?
[00:16] <Elite_> Undertow try the one from here: http://www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDownload-March2009/confirmation.php?url=/XFree86/Linux-x86/190.53/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run&lang=us&type=GeForce
[00:16] <ardchoille> Undertow: yes
[00:16] <esaym153> howdy, how do I use remote desktop so that I can log on to a new gnome session of my own? Just use xvnc or is there an easier way?
[00:16] <digilord> Undertow, http://dpaste.com/145352/
[00:17] <amb_> how can I manage to boot USB devices with grub2
[00:17] <Undertow> alright
[00:17] <Undertow> thanks
[00:17] <alteregoa> !chaos

[00:17] <Undertow> I got a 22" westinghouse
[00:17] <alteregoa> yeah i got a 22" by Edison

[00:18] <Elite_> StevenX if you want to wipe the laptop clean just use BCWipe Total Wipeout get it here : http://www.jetico.com/bcwipe_total_wipeout.exe
[00:18] <digilord> Undertow, I am using the 185 version from synaptic
[00:18] <Undertow> amb_, you need to edit the grub.cfg and specify the usb filesystem
[00:19] <alteregoa> the westinghouse is interlaced, the edison not
[00:19] <Elite_> ok thank you guys for the help cya next time
[00:19] <Undertow> you got a 9800 gt?
[00:19] <digilord> Undertow, I have a GTS 520

[00:20] <senthil> Hey guys
[00:20] <Undertow> do you play alien arena ever?
[00:20] <alteregoa> no but sauerbraten
[00:20] <Undertow> what resolution do you run at?
[00:20] <amb_> I know it for grub but on my Laptop since grub2 I am not more able to boot my sticks not even in the commandline.
[00:20] <alteregoa> 640x480
[00:20] <digilord> Undertow, Never heard of it.
[00:20] <Awesome3000> I'm getting this error on start-up  (EE) AIGLX error:Calling driver entry point failed(EE)
[00:21] <Undertow> nice error
[00:21] <Undertow> heh
[00:21] <senthil> I'm having major trouble with my wicd connection, I'd love some help...searched forums for hours and found nothing
[00:21] <Undertow> I love that stuff
[00:21] <alteregoa> yeah i love me too
[00:21] <cjae> ardchoille: how can I use aptitude search or apt-cache search to see if the manage is designed for kde  tried apt-cache policy mypasswordsafe
[00:21] <cjae> manager *
[00:21] <amb_> Undertow, What is the setting or the command for the grub entry. Because I didn't got it right now since Christmass
[00:22] <ardchoille> cjae: you can use apt-cache show appname and then see what the dependies are
[00:22] <ngirard> How can I get gdm to run instead of kdm ?
[00:23] <ardchoille> cjae: mypasswordsafe looks like a kde app
[00:23] <alteregoa> ngiard: install ubuntu-desktop
[00:23] <alteregoa> at the login screen you can select at the bottom the session
[00:23] <alteregoa> change from KDE to GDM
[00:23] <Undertow> amb_, I dont know, look on google
[00:23] <kinja-sheep> QT is much nice and clean than GTK. ;o
[00:24] <cjae> ardchoille: that "show" is a handy option
[00:24] <Undertow> qt is the worst language ever written
[00:24] <Undertow> waste of resources
[00:24] <amb_> I tryed but no success
[00:24] <Undertow> what are you trying to do?
[00:24] <Undertow> I'm drunk
[00:24] <baddog> I...don't think QT is a language
[00:24] <ngirard> Hi alteregoa. actually i'm now speaking of switching from kde to gnome, but from kdm to gdm
[00:24] <ardchoille> cjae: keepassx also looks good for kde
[00:24] <ngirard> now-> not ^
[00:24] <alteregoa> undertow: yeah the developer was a italian
[00:24] <Undertow> sure it is, it's a developer toolkit
[00:24] <baddog> != language
[00:25] <alteregoa> Undertow: he wrote some spaghetti code
[00:25] <alteregoa> ngirad: i said what i said
[00:25] <cjae> ardchoille: tried keepassx, since pwmanager is not in karmic anymore but it could not properly import .pwm file so I dont think ill use it
[00:25] <alteregoa> ngirard: INSTALL ubuntu-desktop, then you can change to GDM
[00:26] <ardchoille> cjae: yeah, it's a shame that pwmanager was removed. But you might be able to compile it from sources
[00:26] <alteregoa> ngirard: later you can remove KDE
[00:26] <ngirard> alteregoa: i've already gnope installed and running. I do not want to remove kdm. I just want gdm to be my default dm instead of kdm
[00:26] <cjae> ardchoille: filled bug against keepassx, noticed that there was a similar bug in 2007 @sourceforge bugs
[00:27] <ardchoille> cjae: hey, just found something for pwmanager, have a look: http://passwordmanager.sourceforge.net/download.php
[00:27] <BlackDalek> Why is adobe-flashplugin and devede always showing up in my Update Manager window, but always greyed out so I can't select them?
[00:27] <htid64> lorf
[00:27] <alteregoa> ngirad: i said at the LOGIN you can select your session, and this session gets stored
[00:27] <ardchoille> cjae: seems there are packages for kubuntu
[00:28] <morphix> Anyone know how with karmic to have the cpu scaling gnome panel applet run in SUID mode? so then i dont need to enter my pass to change power management profiles/
[00:28] <Awesome3000> ngirard  sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[00:29] <digilord> What package will allow me to view my CPUs temp in sensors-applet?
[00:29] <ngirard> Hi Awesome3000. Thanks for your answer! alteregoa: sorry if my question was confusing.
[00:29] <alteregoa> mbmon
[00:29] <alteregoa> ngirad: yeah im still cowfused
[00:29] <iflema> BlackDalek: some dependicies are missing from apt mirror(s). have you added any third party repositories to the software sources list?
[00:30] <Awesome3000> ngirard  No problem I am constantly swaping over
[00:30] <Sp3c1alK> I need to reconfigure xserver, I'm running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and nothing is being displayed..why not?
[00:30] <Awesome3000> alteregoa   GDM and KDM are what come up when you start your computer
[00:31] <iflema> BlackDalek: may also be a package confict....
[00:31] <BlackDalek> iflema, possibly... I think some were disabled when I upgraded to karmic
[00:31] <alteregoa> when i start my lunatic leonid it comes up with a session manager first
[00:32] <Undertow> does spamassasin automatically run in evolution?
[00:32] <Undertow> I hope it would
[00:32] <Undertow> the plugin is checked, but I get mad spam mail
[00:33] <Sp3c1alK> I need to reconfigure xserver, I'm running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and nothing is being displayed..why not?
[00:33] <iflema> BlackDalek: search for them in synaptic package manager, see what you can find out, have a go at removing and reinstalling
[00:33] <Sp3c1alK> is it becuase I'm using ubuntu 9.10?
[00:33] <BlackDalek> iflema, ok
[00:33] <Awesome3000> !ot | Undertow
[00:34] <ngirard> Awesome3000: wow, gdm looks quite polished as compared to kdm !
[00:34] <iflema> BlackDalek: simply waiting may resolve the confilcts... has it been days/month or hours... perhaps just wait..
[00:34] <jeeves_Moss> how can I install net-ssh for ruby?  I've tried installing it through gems and it dosn't work

[00:40] <cjae> ardchoille: yeah I  took a look a getting it installed but have to install kde3 files and will probably move on to a new app
[00:41] <bastid_raZor> !remaster | Guest33763

[00:43] <Daatr> i installed ubuntu to one disk. and it still has 1.5G free space. but my Ubuntu says, that folder Filesystem contains only 25Mb free. what should i do?
[00:43] <git__> anyone here use fsarchiver?
[00:43] <alteregoa> daatr: get a larger harddisk
[00:43] <Daatr> so folder host has 1,5G free too. but filesystem only 20mb
[00:44] <Daatr> alteregoa but i have 1.5G of free space. how can i use it?
[00:44] <alteregoa> daatr: those 1.5gb are reserved, because of updates and stuff
[00:45] <alteregoa> trust me, i know what im doing
[00:45] <Dr_Willis> 5% is normally reserved on ext2/3/4 - thats changeable with the tune2fs command
[00:45] <Guest33763> bastid: will this UCK allow me to install it on all 30 machines at the same time? I mean these are super old machines; it took me a little under an hour to install ubuntu on just one, much less doing it on 30 more, I'd like to get it done in 2-3 hours if possible
[00:46] <alteregoa> daatr: increase the partition. or you will get serious problems
[00:46] <Berg> hello i have an issue with rapache "** (rapache:2084): WARNING **: expected enumeration type PangoWrapMode, but got GtkWrapMode instead" any help please
[00:46] <alteregoa> e.g put the $HOME dir into another partition or drive
[00:46] <bastid_raZor> Guest33763: no, it will allow you to install the same applications that are on the LiveCD.
[00:46] <Daatr> so my ubuntu use 3,6G but it also use those 1,5G?
[00:47] <alteregoa> daatr: yea for updates
[00:47] <Daatr> okay thank you
[00:47] <alteregoa> they are cached locally
[00:47] <flootenkerp> Hi, I'm dualbooting vista and ubuntu 9.04. I installed ubuntu with the wubi installer. I haven't had any problems until today when my vista shut down for some reason. The grub menu started workiing incorrectly and not loading os's after a lot of tries
[00:47] <alteregoa> daatr: you can try upxi ing some files
[00:47] <Guest33763> well I don't need anything special on them except for adobe and this other really small program that he can have the whole class do at the same time, I mean I might use that just to make my life easier as well as his but I'd like to install ubuntu on all of them at the same time
[00:48] <alteregoa> to save space, who knows
[00:48] <flootenkerp> If someone were to take a look at my menu.1st, would that be enough to be able to find the issue?
[00:48] <tyoc> is there an application that runeed over the history of the installed files say me wich are the ones that are at the top of dependencies? I mean if app1 depends on lib1, libb2 and lib3 I only need to install app1
[00:49] <bobbytek> Is there a gui for open vpn?
[00:49] <schui_> hello... so i finally got ut2004 to run!! except now it has no sound >_< i think im missing a sound driver
[00:49] <Sp3c1alK> does dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg not work in ubuntu 9.10?
[00:49] <Daatr> just interested. how are they cached? Ubuntu has some files, which take this space for the future?
[00:49] <alteregoa> i still wonder why programmers do not compress the executables by default, it loads much faster
[00:50] <Dr_Willis> alteregoa:  i recall that gimmic years ago on my C64s and amigas.. I seem to recall that it inceased the initial ram ussaage.. so its a trade off
[00:50] <Dr_Willis> the days of 'executable packers' Joy!
[00:50] <ardchoille> I remember that
[00:51] <D3RGPS31> I'm having issues runniong glxinfo, output http://pastebin.com/m3130b75e ; Ubuntu 9.10, ATI HD 4850, radeon driver, using xorg-edgers repository
[00:51] <flootenkerp> Can anyone please help me?
[00:51] <bobbytek> if I open "network connections" I can see my vpn in the "vpn tab", but there is no graphical way to connect?
[00:52] <Dr_Willis> bobbytek:  what do you mean? dont you just select it in the menus and it connects?
[00:52] <bobbytek> Dr_Willis, no?
[00:52] <bobbytek> what do you mean by select it?
[00:52] <Dr_Willis> bobbytek:  odd. tjhats how it worked here once i set it up
[00:52] <bastid_raZor> Guest33763: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation look midway down this page at Server and network installations.
[00:53] <Dr_Willis> networking -> vpn -> i just select teh vpn i want to use
[00:53] <bobbytek> it says "last used: never"
[00:53] <plainz-notfound> anyone here experienced with ISPConfig and squirrelmail?
[00:53] <Guest33763> awesome thanks! i will read that
[00:53] <bobbytek> I don't have a "networking" option
[00:53] <BlackDalek> What does this mean? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7b009bfb (it happens a few seconds after I enter anything into the search box in Nicotine+ 1.2.12)
[00:53] <bobbytek> where exactly do you see that?
[00:54] <keith> hey people after a update yesterday of ubuntu I now have 6 listings in grub for it how can i fix this
[00:54] <bobbytek> System -> Preferences -> Network Connections?
[00:54] <BlackDalek> Nicotine dies and exits... What does this mean? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7b009bfb (it happens a few seconds after I enter anything into the search box in Nicotine+ 1.2.12)
[00:54] <bastid_raZor> keith: uninstall the older kernels and they will be automatically removed from grub
[00:55] <Dr_Willis> bobbytek:  on the little network manager icon in the panel.
[00:55] <keith> really new lol is it easy
[00:55] <dabukalam> hi i'm trying to get scanning to work over a network, from my Ubuntu Server 9.04 box. I have sane on there, and i've tried several clients, but can't scan. From the server itself, running scanimage as root scans fine, but scanimage as a normal user returns "Error during device I/O". I can't connect in SainTwain, or using phpSANE or sanewi. Anyone have experience in the subject?
[00:55] <Dr_Willis> bobbytek:  left click on icon. in its menus
[00:55] <bobbytek> hehe
[00:55] <bobbytek> where is that icon?
[00:55] <Dr_Willis> its in the panel here
[00:55] <bastid_raZor> !synaptic | keith
[00:55] <bobbytek> what does it look like?
[00:56] <bobbytek> I'm running 9.10
[00:56] <Dr_Willis> a little network port
[00:56] <bobbytek> and I'm a noob
[00:56] <Dr_Willis> try mouseing over all your panel icons...
[00:56] <Dr_Willis> try LOOKING then.
[00:56] <bastid_raZor> keith: use synaptic and search for 'kernel image' then uninstall the older ones.. be sure not to uninstall the current version
[00:56] <keith> ok so just remove it from there
[00:56] <keith> got ya thank you
[00:57] <Awesome3000> What is the command to update grub's menu
[00:58] <bobbytek> Dr_Willis, nope, not there
[00:58] <bobbytek> by panel, do you mean top or bottom?
[00:58] <bobbytek> I don't even see the option in "add to panel"
[00:58] <Random832> so... anyone else getting this? http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/08/17/gnome-power-manager-and-blanking-removal-of-bodges/
[00:59] <Dr_Willis> bobbytek:  given that i can move my panels around...  it may not be where yours is.. its handled by the nm-applet program and its pretty much a default icon in the panels system tray right next to my little off button, and volume controll
[00:59] <DasEi> Awesome3000: grub 1 or 2 ?
[00:59] <Dr_Willis> bobbytek: You are using GNOME? or KDE? or what exactly?
[00:59] <bobbytek> gnome
[01:00] <Dr_Willis> should be in the top right little group of icons then.
[01:00] <two4two_> anyone home?
[01:00] <Dr_Willis> or try running the 'nm-applet' program if it crashed
[01:00] <DasEi> !hi | two4two_
[01:00] <plainz-notfound> can someone please goto http://plainwalker.com and http://plainwalker.com/webmail and see if it works please
[01:00] <Dr_Willis> bobbytek:  note taht many of those icons have very different menus on the right and left click buttons.
[01:00] <bobbytek> ah
[01:01] <bobbytek> that worked
[01:01] <Daatr> oh i know. ill remove my KDE with kubuntu :)
[01:01] <two4two_> OK, anyone know anything about partitions, file allocation tables and file systems?
[01:01] <DasEi> plainz-notfound: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
[01:01] <bobbytek> however, there aren't many options
[01:01] <bobbytek> wait!
[01:01] <bobbytek> found it!
[01:01] <Dr_Willis> two4two_:  you may want to ask a more specific question..  instead of playing 20 questions to get down to the actual problem
[01:01] <plainz-notfound> DasEi: and that means what to me?
[01:02] <Awesome3000> two4two_  Ya What you wqant to know
[01:02] <DasEi> plainz-notfound: you can put an address there to see if it's up
[01:02] <plainz-notfound> DasEi: ahh..thats cool thank you
[01:03] <two4two_> OK, here's a question.  Gparted shows a partition sda1 it says filesystem FAT16, but fdisk -l shows type c = fat32, lba.
[01:03] <two4two_> is there any tool to help me analyze and repair this situation?
[01:03] <DasEi> plainz-notfound: your link gives me an unconfigured spaceholder, but ubu-support here, least it's up and loads
[01:04] <BlackDalek> Nicotine dies and exits... What does this mean? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7b009bfb (it happens a few seconds after I enter anything into the search box in Nicotine+ 1.2.12)
[01:04] <plainz-notfound> DasEiL im more worried about webmail, the other one is just the default since im still working on getting the server up and running
[01:05] <DasEi> plainz-notfound: 404, y
[01:05] <plainz-notfound> DasEi, on the webmail address?
[01:05] <DasEi> plainz-notfound: y
[01:05] <Dr_Willis> two4two_:  if you have recently changed the partiions - the changes might not show  the change till a reboot. (seen that in some cases)
[01:06] <Dr_Willis> man that dcc spam is still going on?
[01:06] <rww> Dr_Willis: yep
[01:06] <Dr_Willis> I still havent figured out how to make weechat ignore the 'unkknown ctcp' message it keeps spitting at me
[01:07] <plainz-notfound> DasEi: http://www.plainwalker.com/webmail is that working instead?
[01:07] <two4two_> Dr Willis, since the partition, file system is corrupted I can't boot there (ntldr not found).  I want to reformat it as FAT32 and re-install Windoze in that partition.
[01:07] <two4two_> without losing the extended partition.
[01:07] <DasEi> plainz-notfound: yes, working, take further try-outs to #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:07] <plainz-notfound> DasEi: thank you
[01:07] <Dr_Willis> two4two_:  if its badly currupted it could be giving confusing info. may be easier to delete/repartiton/reformat it then
[01:07] <DasEi> np
[01:08] <schui_> whats the command i would need to get the file libopenal.so?
[01:09] <BrianB04> nickserv identify iacker7t
[01:09] <hattoricaca1> two4two_: also hda1 means primary partition. Which is the extended partition in your layout?
[01:09] <two4two_> Dr Willis:  I don't want to lose the extended partition, so I want to be able to format sda1 while not disturbing sda2.
[01:09] <knucker> keith: Unistall the older kernels or comment the code in grub
[01:09] <HighOctane> I have VMware workstation 6.02 running on windows xp host, ubuntu 9.1 as guest. I cannot get bridged networking to work, nor can I get VMware tools to install quite properly. Anyone here experience something similar?
[01:09] <meganerd> two4two_: the ntldr missing error can be fixed by using the windows cd in recovery mode
[01:10] <meganerd> two4two_: you may have to reinstall grub afterwards
[01:10] <AkhlD> hello i need to expand my /
[01:10] <two4two_> Dr Willis: the Windows recovery console is what changed it to FAT16 from FAT32.
[01:10] <Dr_Willis> two4two_:  you  should be able to format sda1 without hurting sda2
[01:10] <AkhlD> my / gat 600mb atm
[01:11] <DaZ> AkhlD: how big is it? >:
[01:11] <minimec> HighOctane: We would prabably use ubuntu as host... ;) The network provided by VMware should be visible in the networkmanager-applet in your panel.
[01:11] <AkhlD> it was 12GB
[01:11] <bobbytek> doh
[01:11] <DaZ> 12 is fine
[01:11] <bobbytek> where does one store vpn files
[01:11] <AkhlD> but its only 500MB atm
[01:11] <zetheroo> just checked my updates today and saw a New Install called watershed in the list .... just wondering about that as I don't recall having things freshly install themselves from the update manager before ...
[01:11] <Random832> where are those dcc "censord.net" things coming from? someone in here? *can't tell what channel it's being sent to*
[01:11] <DaZ> AkhlD: remove apt-get cache
[01:11] <meganerd> two4two_: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sda2
[01:11] <AkhlD> where ?
[01:11] <AkhlD> DaZ, where do i find it ?
[01:11] <meganerd> two4two_: will format sda2 alone
[01:12] <Random832> it's actually kind of clever - make sure to disable js first
[01:12] <AkhlD> DaZ, okie in the terminal ?
[01:12] <minimec> HighOctane: If it is not, that would mean that probably VMware is not conigured correclty. Maybe there is a VMware irc #channel on freenode.
[01:12] <bobbytek> that is, where should one store .pem files?
[01:12] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[01:12] <two4two_> meganerd, I don't want to format sda2, I only want to format sda1 and not disturb sda2.
[01:12] <HighOctane> minimec: In my Host, I can choose Bridged networking or NAT or one of two other options. Using NAT, my network works, but doesn't have its own IP. I want to use bridged, but it's not working because vmware tools wont install properly. I don't know what to do.
[01:12] <DaZ> AkhlD: apt-get clean
[01:13] <DaZ> i think.
[01:13] <AkhlD> DaZ, now wht ?
[01:13] <meganerd> two4two_: then substitude sda1 for sda2
[01:13] <dabukalam> does anyone have any experience with network scanning?
[01:13] <DaZ> AkhlD: df -h and see if it's better [;
[01:13] <AkhlD> DaZ, now its 675MB
[01:13] <DaZ> eh
[01:13] <two4two_> meganerd, and will that create a FAT32 file system?
[01:13] <hattoricaca1> dabukalam, what do you want to do?
[01:13] <DaZ> AkhlD: du -sh /var/cache
[01:13] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[01:14] <meganerd> two4two_: yes
[01:14] <two4two_> meganerd, BTW, I'm on the ubuntu 8.10 live CD right now.
[01:14] <meganerd> two4two_: I personally use ntfs with windows
[01:14] <minimec> HighOctane: I cannot help you further, as I am not really used to VMware. I did a bridged network with Virualbox once and it was a headeache too ;)
[01:14] <AkhlD> DaZ, 34M	/var/cache
[01:14] <DaZ> eh [;
[01:15] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[01:15] <HighOctane> minimec: Thanks anyway.
[01:15] <meganerd> two4two_: when you reinstall windows, you will have to boot with a live Linux cd again to reinstall GRUB into the MBR
[01:15] <minimec> HighOctane: no problem
[01:15] <two4two_> meganerd, I keep FAT32 because this is a triple-boot config:  Win98SE, WinXP and Ubuntu 8.10.  Somhow I clobbered my sda1. and don't want to lose the rest of my stuff
[01:15] <AkhlD> DaZ, is there anyway to expand the partition ?
[01:15] <dabukalam> hattoricaca1, I want to share my scanner over the network. I have an Ubuntu Server running 9.04, and two scanners are connected. I just want one of the to work
[01:16] <meganerd> two4two_: sure, whatever works for you
[01:16] <DaZ> AkhlD: gparted can do it
[01:16] <dabukalam> hattoricaca1, before, scanimage used to work for root
[01:16] <two4two_> but I want to be able to have win98 access winxp stuff.
[01:16] <AkhlD> i have 1 gparted
[01:16] <meganerd> two4two_: I use vmware and virtualbox for my Windows needs now
[01:16] <AkhlD> DaZ, tell mw how to
[01:16] <two4two_> great thing about ubuntu:  it can access everything.
[01:16] <meganerd> two4two_: but that may not work for you
[01:16] <dabukalam> hattoricaca1, but now nothing works after i've been tinkering for the last 4 hours
[01:16] <DaZ> AkhlD: i don't know as i've never needed to [;
[01:16] <two4two_> Imeganerd:  I am researching vmware.  Is it a linux ap?
[01:17] <AkhlD> aww
[01:17] <dabukalam> hattoricaca1, I don't mind how it's done, whether web interface or through a client, but I need it to work on Linux, Mac, and Windows
[01:17] <dabukalam> hattoricaca1, can you help me out?
[01:17] <hattoricaca1> dabukalam: sorry i thought you were talking bout another kind of network scanning, i havent tried to use image scanners over network, i recall there's the SANE framework, but dunno if it serves to share scanners over network
[01:17] <DaZ> two4two_: access everything? >:
[01:18] <hattoricaca1> dabukalam: what have you tried so far?
[01:18] <two4two_> Daz:  yes, it can read and write all my file systems, where Windoze can't access anything linux.
[01:18] <dabukalam> hattoricaca1: sanewi, phpSANE, SaneTwain, console commands, playing with ownership of the scanner, playing with groups and memberships
[01:19] <meganerd> two4two_: vmware runs on either windows or linux
[01:19] <two4two_> thanks meganerd
[01:19] <DaZ> two4two_: it doesn't read exfat <:
[01:19] <two4two_> OK, thanks guys.  Supper time!
[01:19] <meganerd> two4two_: it can be a pain, I am paid customer of vmware, and I would like to drop them
[01:19] <hattoricaca1> dabukalam: i'll try to help, but remind you: i have zero experience on that
[01:20] <dabukalam> hattoricaca1, all help is welcome!
[01:20] <duckx0r> how would I go about creating a symlink to launch /opt/my_program/somefile by simply typing my_program at the command line?
[01:21] <blakkheim> duckx0r: ln -s /opt/program /usr/bin/program
[01:21] <Tiders> Is there any way to remotely control a Windows machine from linux
[01:21] <hattoricaca1> dabukalam: ok, lemme see what are the tools used in ubuntu
[01:21] <duckx0r> blakkheim, thanks
[01:21] <blakkheim> Tiders: exploit it
[01:21] <angels23usa> vnc
[01:21] <Tiders> angels23usa, VNC would work cross platform/
[01:21] <angels23usa> yes
[01:22] <Tiders> angels23usa, What is the WIndows VNC server called
[01:22] <trevor> im using the shiki colors theme, and when i open up certain things like nautilus it is in the default blocky gnome theme
[01:22] <trevor> not the shiki color theme
[01:22] <Dr_Willis> Tiders:  i use 'ultravnc' on windows normally
[01:22] <angels23usa> you can use a lot of different ones, but tightvnc works pretty good
[01:22] <Tiders> Dr_Willis, And the Ubuntu remote desktop viewer can connect with that?
[01:22] <Dr_Willis> Tiders:  any vnc client should be able to connect to any vnc server.
[01:23] <Tiders> Dr_Willis, Oh alright thanks I just wasnt sure
[01:23] <hattoricaca1> dabukalam: what about this? http://scannerserver.online02.com/node/12
[01:23] <angels23usa> can anyone help me with xwinwrap
[01:23] <Dr_Willis> !info xwinwrap
[01:24] <matt\> Excuse me.  I am following the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/mailman.html to set up mailman with my server.
[01:24] <angels23usa> I am using xwinwrap in conjunction with gifsicle to project animated gifs on my desktop
[01:24] <hattoricaca1> dabukalam: also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=679028 and http://ubuntu.online02.com/linux_scan_server (same guy)
[01:24] <matt\> I'm following the instructions for postfix, but when I get to the command sudo postmap -v /etc/postfix/transport I receive the error message in http://pastebay.com/82810.
[01:24] <matt\> If someone could help me I would appreciate it.
[01:24]  * Dr_Willis cringes at the mention of animated wallpaper
[01:25] <angels23usa> Dr_Willis: the problem I am having is that the gifs, when projected, cover up all of my other programs
[01:25] <dabukalam> hattoricaca1, sweet, looks like he's automated the process, let me check this out and get back to you
[01:25] <Dr_Willis> angels23usa:  gnome's file manager likes to hand the wallpaper. sounds like that app is not staying 'below' the other windows
[01:25] <Dr_Willis> angels23usa:  or it could be compiz causing issues
[01:26] <bobbytek> what does "is group or others accessible" mean?
[01:26] <angels23usa> Dr_Willis: yes, but no it is not compiz if you mean compiz-fusion
[01:26] <hattoricaca1> good luck :-)
[01:26] <matt\> Oh wait.
[01:26] <matt\> It says master.cf, not main.cf.
[01:26] <evoone> Hello world!

[01:28] <bobbytek> Dr_Willis, I mean, is there a logfile or something? I found some info in the syslog...

[01:35] <imran> Hey guys, I have Win XP and Win 7 on my 1st HD, and i have Karmic on my 2nd HD. Win 7 is supposed to chain boot into XP - GRUB comes up, you choose Windows, then choose 7 or XP - but XP doesnt work, it restarts my computer - no error message or anything. Win 7 however, works. Help?
[01:35] <schui_> because i need to find someone that plays ut2004 :p
[01:35] <genii> schui_: Maybe ask in #ubuntu-offtopic , this is the support channel
[01:36] <schui_> sorry i just need a file
[01:36] <morphias> schui_, #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:37] <kristian_> y0
[01:37] <kristian_> names
[01:39] <some-random> hiyas, does karmic have a text mode install?  it's X doesn't like our monitor
[01:39] <Purpley> Hey guys im having problems charging my LI-ION battery, it stays at 0% and when i unplug it from my outlet it immediatley dies but ubuntu recognizes i have a battery in it, it just wont charge any ideas?

[01:39] <lamer213> Hey I set my resolution pretty high the other day for an external monitor, and it worked... I had to reboot, and now GDM can't load because of the resolution I think... are there any workarounds to reset this?
[01:40] <some-random> bastid_raZor, ah rats, we don't have that - any alternatives? (other than that cd)
[01:40] <bastid_raZor> some-random: not that i know of.
[01:40] <DaZ> alternative cd on a usb? >:
[01:40] <some-random> bastid_raZor, thanks :-)
[01:41] <Random832> lamer213; plug the external monitor back in and fix it?
[01:41] <minimec> Radar: That is a rather good question. The password section is part of the installing routine of the deb package. Did you try to leave it blank?
[01:41] <some-random> yeah, we removed the old hdd before install (i'm talking through a n00b) to prevent mistakes, thanks anyway, i'll get him to dl the alt cd - cheers!
[01:41] <imran> Anyone?!
[01:41] <lamer213> Random832, it says it's out of my monitors range... isn't there some way to prevent grub from autobooting and go boot into a console?
[01:42] <lamer213> some-random, isn't the server image still a text install
[01:42] <Random832> lamer213; you should be able to still go into a console with ctrl-alt-f1
[01:42] <freeagent504> hello
[01:42] <Radar> minimec: yes, then it prompts me another two times. I would rather no prompt at all.
[01:42] <EmLeX> mhm
[01:42] <freeagent504> hello good people
[01:42] <lamer213> Random832, I think it set the framebuffer out of range too, I can see the screen, but I can't type on it
[01:42] <EmLeX> ctrl - alt -f1 shuld work
[01:42] <dabukalam> hattoricaca1, yeah, it's a great app, but it's got the same problem as the others, which is derived from the fact that the scanimage command doesn't work
[01:42] <Purpley> Hey guys im having problems charging my LI-ION battery, it stays at 0% and when i unplug it from my outlet it immediatley dies but ubuntu recognizes i have a battery in it, it just wont charge any ideas?
[01:42] <some-random> freeagent504, hello :-)
[01:42] <Random832> wait - you can see it but you can't type on it?
[01:42] <lamer213> Random832, like when I type nothing shows up.
[01:43] <Random832> what happens if you hit enter a lot? does it start scrolling?
[01:43] <Random832> log in blind on console and do ls -l /
[01:43] <freeagent504> hey any one have mouse issues with UNR????
[01:43] <Purpley> Is there a way i can check if my li-ion battery has gone dead and how to know if it has?
[01:43] <minimec> Radar: As I mentioned... It is programmed like that in the deb package. You would have to modify the deb package to change the install routine. This is how I understand the deb package system, but don't hang me on that... ;)
[01:43] <Purpley> like would a multimeter work?
[01:43] <freeagent504> I find that my mouse is really finicky
[01:44] <Radar> minimec: beautiful, thanks :)
[01:44] <minimec> Radar: np
[01:44] <hattoricaca1> dabukalam: but then your problem reduces to make that command work? why it fails?
[01:44] <lamer213> Random832, I tried doing that trick, but I mean, isn't there a way to prevent grub from autobooting, it used to give a few seconds to make a choice in previoius versions
[01:44] <ChogyDan> Purpley: you should use the built in circuitry
[01:44] <dabukalam> hattoricaca1, i'm looking it up now. Not sure to be totally honest
[01:44] <Purpley> ChogyDan, meaning how do i check?
[01:45] <lamer213> i tried doing ctrl-alt-backspace too
[01:45] <Dr_Willis> freeagent504:  i dont have any issues
[01:45] <ChogyDan> Purpley: is it a computer battery?
[01:45] <EmLeX> hmm...
[01:45] <Purpley> Yes my computer recognizes it and gives me the info about it
[01:45] <EmLeX> is vlock a good program for locking down ubuntu srv?
[01:45] <Purpley> ChogyDan,  Yes my computer recognizes it and gives me the info about it
[01:45] <hattoricaca1> dabukalam: " grep --color scanimage /var/log/* " might help
[01:46] <ChogyDan> Purpley: I mean, you should just plug it in and see if it takes a charge.  If it doesn't, it is dead.  Usually those batteries have internal circuitry that monitor and interpret the voltage
[01:46] <freeagent504> hey is it easy to edit the gnu grub menu????
[01:46] <EmLeX> yes freeagent504
[01:46] <Dr_Willis> freeagent504:  rather easy. see the grub2 docs
[01:46] <Purpley> ChogyDan, If its dead why would my computer see it?
[01:46] <arand_> freeagent504: in grub-legacy, relatively, in grub2, not.
[01:46] <Dr_Willis> !grub2
[01:47] <freeagent504> i have grub ver 1.97
[01:47] <lamer213> does anyone know if there is a safe mood to boot into or get more options from grub?  I need to boot install a console cause gdm is retarded
[01:47] <EmLeX> !vlock
[01:47] <ChogyDan> Purpley: I guess the internal circuitry is still active?
[01:47] <arand_> freeagent504: that is known as grub2
[01:47] <freeagent504> oh ok
[01:47] <prefrontal> what should my JAVA_HOME var be if I am using the openjdk-6 packages? i have it set to this but I think it is wrong: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> lamer213:  the rescue/recoverymode does that I thought
[01:48] <freeagent504> thanks
[01:48] <Dr_Willis> lamer213:  or append 'single' ion the end of the grub options
[01:48] <lamer213> Dr_Willis, how do i get to that at boot, what key combination or something
[01:48] <luis_> I need help: In pokerstars the button of casher doesnt shows, so I cant buy chips
[01:48] <arand_> freeagent504: follow links and edit /etc/default/grub.
[01:48] <Undertow> How can I max out all the CPUs in linux to see the load average/system monitor peak easily?
[01:48] <freeagent504> so why do i have so many options in the grub2??
[01:48] <Dr_Willis> lamer213:  i see the menui items by default.  I dont need to hit any keys. try escape i guess
[01:48] <Undertow> cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null ?
[01:48] <EmLeX> esc and then e i think lamer213
[01:48] <freeagent504> i have 2 diff Ubuntus
[01:48] <EmLeX> in the kernel optiton
[01:48] <freeagent504> I have 2 recov mode ubuntus
[01:49] <freeagent504> i have my win 7
[01:49] <freeagent504> i have  2 memory checks
[01:49] <EmLeX> hmm...
[01:49] <genii> freeagent504: Whenever an upgrade installs a new kernel, it keeps the old entries fromt he previous one as well
[01:49] <minimec> Undertow: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/get-cpu-system-load-average-on-ubuntu-linux/
[01:49] <arand_> freeagent504: that is deifferent versions of the kernel, when you update it the olde version remains should there be any problems with the new version.
[01:49] <luis_> I need help: In pokerstars the button of casher doesnt shows, so I cant buy chips
[01:49] <luis_> I need help: In pokerstars the button of casher doesnt shows, so I cant buy chips , whats happening?!
[01:50] <Undertow> uhh
[01:50] <lamer213> thanks it was the escape key
[01:50] <genii> luis_: Bug them in #winehq
[01:50] <freeagent504> well i only installed ubuntu once
[01:50] <Undertow> I know how to get the load average
[01:50] <Undertow> I want to max out all the CPUs
[01:50] <freeagent504> and it gave me all this stuff.
[01:50] <Undertow> and cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null is doing nothing
[01:50] <Undertow> and I dont want to spawn 5000000 instances of it
[01:51] <lamer213> so where are your resolutions stored now, apparently it no longer /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[01:51] <arand_> freeagent504: yes but you updated the kernel at some point presumably, and hence it created a new entry and left the old one just in case
[01:51] <Undertow> its X11/xorg.conf
[01:51] <freeagent504> oh i did
[01:51] <ChogyDan> Undertow: prime95 is classic, not sure if there is a linux client.  Im sure there is
[01:51] <Undertow> prime95 eh
[01:51] <brainsik> I have a bridge setup (br0) and a virtual machine connected to it. Everything works great, but I wanted to do some packet filtering.

[01:55] <neldridge> I need some help with routing, I have a remote office using a Cisco 3030 VPN Concentrator and a machine running Ubuntu Server w/ VPNC connected. I'm connected fine locally. I want to route all my local office traffic on the remote office IP range through my Ubuntu server to the remote office. Anyone able to assist or point me to where I can get help?
[01:55] <freeagent504> arand_: yo
[01:56] <minimec> luis_: See that now. Forget what I said ... ;)

[01:56] <luis_> minimec: ok haha
[01:56] <ja660k> hey im trying to install winxp on virtualbox and when it comes to the gui installation windows doesnt recognise my mouse and keyboard???
[01:57] <neldridge> EmLeX: the remote office and the cisco work fine-- it's my local network w/ my ubuntu server that i'm not sure how to route
[01:57] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[01:57] <m1ke> Is there any potential issue with doing the following?: "chmod 700 /home/user1"
[01:57] <neldridge> EmLeX: I'll see if there's general routing information there though, ty.
[01:57] <freeagent504> is there a section on the site where you download drivers?
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> ja660k:  odd - never seen that issue.   the thing dosent 'grab' your mouse/keyboard? or does it grab and jsut dosent work?
[01:58] <freeagent504> for some reason the touchpad on my acer netbook is a little crazy
[01:58] <Out_Cold> m1ke, not if you are the only user accessing those files... but you should have a -R if you want it to be recursive
[01:58] <Out_Cold> or -r... i always forget
[01:59] <ja660k> Dr_Willis: no it doesnt grab at all.. i have other distros installed and they work fine. is it  problem that its win xp home sp1? (its the last windows i ever used)
[01:59] <arand_> freeagent504: here's how you can remove old kernels: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/356831/
[01:59] <freeagent504> arand_: thanks
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> ja660k:  virtualbox should be grabbing the keyboard/mouse reguardless of teh OS.
[02:00] <EmLeX> neldridge: do that :)
[02:00] <ja660k> Dr_willis: i guess ill try again?
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> yep  check the vbox settings also
[02:01] <neldridge> EmLeX: do you have a keyword I can at least search by?
[02:02] <m1ke> Out_Cold, well what I am trying to do is eliminate access to my home directory by other human users.  I know however, that the OS automatically creates a number of users and groups and I'm not sure if they need access to my home directory for proper functionality.
[02:02] <EmLeX> neldridge: nothing coming to my mind atm sorry i did search there last time i needed help whit somting
[02:03] <imran> Fuck you all.
[02:03] <imran> Im tired of asking for help and getting no response
[02:03] <hattoricaca> thank you imran, i love you too
[02:04] <Hilikus> is it possible to give a user access with a limited shell? i need to create a backup user but i want it to only do some things
[02:04] <dabukalam> !language | imran
[02:05] <Out_Cold> m1ke, if you want make the access 740 or something along those lines.. then only people in your group can read/write
[02:05] <dabukalam> imran: what's your problem?
[02:05] <Out_Cold> ** sorry you can read/write, others in your group can read and everyone else gets squat
[02:06] <dmfrey> Intel Wifi Link 5300...Anyone get it working?
[02:06] <minimec> m1ke: That is rather easy. Open nautilus as sudoer <alt>F2 gksudo nautilus an change the access rights of your home folder (limit access of the m1ke folder only to the user, and no 'group' and 'others'). Like that no one can access your folder. You don't have to change the rigths of the files in the folder.
[02:06] <morphix> Hilikus, if you intend to you something like rsync to backup
[02:06] <morphix> you can use a ssh key and set it to only allow certain command to be run
[02:06] <m1ke> Out_Cold, thanks but that doesn't completely answer my question. I know that the OS automatically creates a number of users and groups.  Do they need access to my home directory for proper functionality?
[02:06] <Hilikus> morphix: i am going to do that already, was just wondering if i can have one more level of security
[02:06] <morphix> so you make it that the user can only rsync a directory or without giving any real access to that user
[02:06] <DasEi> Hilikus: sure, restrict the groups the user is in  or specify a group backup)
[02:07] <Out_Cold> m1ke, i don't believe so but i'd get a second opinion
[02:07] <Guiri> When SSHing into my Karmic server, I don't have tab complete. I've uncommented bash_completion in bash.bash.rc.
[02:07] <Out_Cold> Guiri, i have that issue because of lag
[02:08] <Guiri> Hmm. Out_Cold I have a pretty solid connection.
[02:08] <hattoricaca> Hilikus: if you want more security using ssh command restrictions, you can restrict to run a script, which according to some param does the real operations
[02:09] <dmfrey> Intel Wifi Link 5300...Anyone get it working?
[02:09] <zhcfreesea_> !gentoo
[02:09] <zhcfreesea_> !hi
[02:09] <morphix> Hilikus, you could use rssh
[02:09] <morphix> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-restrict-shell-access-with-rssh.html
[02:10] <Hilikus> morphix: cool, thanks
[02:10] <m1ke> Doing "chmod 700 /home/user1" seems to do what I want.  It doesn't look as though I need to do it recursively to restrict access to my home directory.  I'm just not sure if restricting access to the non-human users and groups that ubuntu automatically creates can cause any potential issues.
[02:10] <morphix> for backing up you shouldnt need too much more than scp/sftp/rsync access
[02:11] <morphix> you can even use rssh to restrict the user to only do rsync and then chroot them into a directory
[02:12] <freeagent504> arand_: thanks man
[02:15] <Out_Cold> m1ke, if you run into problems give the directory 760
[02:15] <Out_Cold> oor 740
[02:16] <jason__> does any one know of a plugin for adaptive multi rate decoder (AMR)
[02:17] <b2bwild> Hello, can anyone suggest me a cross-platform (mac/linux) notebook application, which can help me to take notes and snippets and then synchronize them...and also has offline support.

[02:22] <trevor_> where do i find my fonts folder to install a new font?
[02:22] <trevor_> i cant find it in the hidden files in Home

[02:23] <ver> freeagent504, it's no contest

[02:25] <RumblePure> you know, errors that happen when you execute a command.
[02:25] <freeagent504> ver: whaa?
[02:25] <ver> freeagent504, but i mean you can, in eeebuntu, scale your cpu down to 10% of max speed, tune your LCD blindingly low (i hope you have a ton of rods in your retinas) and squeeze 20+ hours out of it.
[02:25] <ver> freeagent504, the point is i don't think you can do that with windows, supposing you were masochistic enough to try it.

[02:36] <balloooza_> Out_Cold, yes, I guess I will just have to write a script to do it on the fly, then I could post it maybe, so that anwser could be different :)

[02:37] <baltadt> which ubuntu are you using
[02:38] <new2Ubuntu> is there a terminal command to see if it's installed in the correct place - ie some versions of ubuntu have a network and some have a networking  and it makes all the difference

[02:38] <technocp> can i get some resolution for my sound issue on compaq presario b1800 laptop i am using ubuntu 8.10 desktop
[02:39] <new2Ubuntu> hence why it took 2 days to get my wifi working - cause I was using networking in terminal when I should have been using network
[02:39] <baltadt> new2Ubuntu: try this...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1266540
[02:39] <Out_Cold> technocp, open a terminal and type in alsamixer
[02:39] <new2Ubuntu> btw - it's Ubuntu Studio Hardy Heron 8.04.01
[02:39] <hattoricaca> new2Ubuntu: what is the name of the 19Mb installer you've dled?
[02:39] <new2Ubuntu> jre-6u17-linux-i586.bin
[02:40] <Darkseid> new
[02:40] <Darkseid> just type
[02:40] <Darkseid> ./<name of file>
[02:40] <alteregoa> how can i limit the speed of a certain Network Interface?
[02:40] <Out_Cold> Darkseid, should be sudo ./<file> no?
[02:40] <paradigm_> if you are having NO SOUND try this "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic"
[02:41] <Darkseid> well depends on the app
[02:41] <Darkseid> but yeah sudo would work too
[02:41] <baltadt> new2Ubuntu: try this download....http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[02:41] <alteregoa> is tehre a IPTABLE Rule to do that?
[02:41] <paradigm_> "sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic" then reboot, for NO SOUND issues
[02:42] <baltadt> anyone know what plugin will work for AMR ... adaptive multi rate decoder
[02:42] <technocp> paradigm_ i am not able to find the package
[02:42] <paradigm_> :-(
[02:42] <hattoricaca> new2Ubuntu: nevertheless i think you should try installing from the ubuntu repositories, packages sun-java6-bin and flashplugin-installer
[02:42] <new2Ubuntu> lol baltadt and Hattoricaca - either of you gonna be around at 2 am? i can only DL big files like that between 2 am and 6 am EST - I have satellite - live in the boonies
[02:43] <Out_Cold> technocp, do you have backports enabled in your sources.list?
[02:43] <technocp> the command you mentioned was I supposed for karmic should I change the name as I am using hardy 8.10
[02:43] <paradigm_> sorry, I'm using 9.10, I had no sound at first.  I tried that and it worked.  But you may need to update your sources or something (not really sure)
[02:43] <baltadt> no sorry
[02:43] <Darkseid> AMR answer --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[02:43] <new2Ubuntu> it's all good - SOMEONE will be on then...  lol
[02:44] <baltadt> ty dareseid... hopefully this works
[02:44] <new2Ubuntu> i have to DL the repair manual for my "new" 93 Isuzu Trooper..
[02:44] <arand> technocp: you are using 8.10, not 9.10?
[02:44] <technocp> yes i am using 8.10
[02:45] <technocp> can you suggest me any tips on sound issue with the same
[02:45] <dabukalam> !sources
[02:46] <new2Ubuntu> I thought 8.10 was Ibex not Heron
[02:46] <new2Ubuntu> Intrepid Ibex..
[02:46] <new2Ubuntu> what's up with the names for each version...
[02:46] <omegax2001> hello?
[02:47] <arand> new2Ubuntu: is correct
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> Next we will start using bacteria names
[02:47] <technocp> i am sorry yes its intrepid ibex
[02:47] <new2Ubuntu> hi omegax2001
[02:47] <omegax2001> hello
[02:47] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: 8.10 is ibex, 8.04 is hardy, see :
[02:47] <DasEi> !version
[02:47] <technocp> hi omegax2001
[02:47] <Out_Cold> new2Ubuntu, random funky animal names
[02:47] <new2Ubuntu> lol
[02:47] <omegax2001> This is awesome...so where is everyone from?
[02:48] <new2Ubuntu> Out_Cold - i like that scene in you - where they spin the car..  and where dude gets it stuck in the hot tub - sorry offtpoic i know..
[02:48] <baltadt> darkseid: still not working...anymore thoughts. I am at my wits end
[02:48] <omegax2001> I am in Virginia (Hampton Roads area to be exact)
[02:48] <new2Ubuntu> <- Cogan Station, Pennsylvania
[02:48] <technocp> ok its confirm that I am using intrepid ibex but can we have a solution over the sound issue
[02:48] <Out_Cold> new2Ubuntu, and the numbers: 6.04 was released in april 2006 9.10 released in oct 2009
[02:48] <Out_Cold> new2Ubuntu, yea that's a good OT scene :p
[02:48] <DasEi> omegax2001: all around, general chat in ubuntu-offtopic :)
[02:48] <Darkseid> you installed the w32codecs?
[02:48] <omegax2001> oh sorry..
[02:48] <new2Ubuntu> Ahh  that's interesting
[02:49] <Darkseid> and all the other packages from medibunti?
[02:49] <Darkseid> medibuntu?
[02:49] <new2Ubuntu> so an Ubuntu version can only be XX.01-12.XX
[02:49] <new2Ubuntu> ?
[02:49] <blendmaster1024> i just tried to install ubuntu on my server box (i'm install desktop and intend to convert it, since server is only for 64bit), and it failed when it tried to install grub. any idea where i would start troubleshooting that?
[02:49] <omegax2001> I just installed the XChat Gnome and it automatically put me in here
[02:49] <Out_Cold> as far as i know.. but they only release at .04 and .10
[02:50] <new2Ubuntu> what's the in chat comman to list chat rooms?  is there any?
[02:50] <blendmaster1024> yep
[02:50] <Elite_> Hi guys i need help with gigatribe installed under the lastest wine the program installed correctly but i get this error in the log file: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m702362df
[02:50] <blendmaster1024> *yep to Out_Cold
[02:50] <Dr_Willis> new2Ubuntu:  /list but theres proberly 10,000+  channels
[02:50] <Out_Cold> new2Ubuntu, there are a few but /msg alis help is the best start
[02:50] <paradigm_> Darkseid, when I go to places->Network->windows Network I can see the networks but when I try to join I get the error "Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from server"  Any advice?
[02:50] <baltadt> it still looks for the codec when I try to play my android video files
[02:50] <arand> technocp: I'm assuming that few of the sound solutions for karmic will apply to 8.10.
[02:50] <arand> technocp: few or none
[02:51] <new2Ubuntu> baldat - what is the file extention of your android files?
[02:51] <Darkseid> hmmm
[02:51] <technocp> i think i should give them a try
[02:51] <new2Ubuntu> anyone want to help me with an NTFS partition?
[02:51] <technocp> can you suggest any
[02:51] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: /list   in your messenger shows rooms
[02:51] <Darkseid> lemme mull on this for a minute para
[02:51] <new2Ubuntu> ty
[02:52] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: ntfs, sure, ask
[02:52] <baltadt> new2Ubuntu: 3gp
[02:52] <paradigm_> I can even put the ip address of a particular computer in the location and it works that way. But I can't get the list of computers
[02:52] <paradigm_> ok
[02:52] <new2Ubuntu> Baldadt - do you have your android user manual to tell me what format of 3gp it is?
[02:52] <blendmaster1024> i see 6092 channels, Out_Cold
[02:52] <baltadt> i'll look
[02:53] <dabukalam> i just added a source to /etc/apt/sources.list, but it won't download because it can't get the key. how do I add the key?
[02:53] <Noturno99> algum brasileiro aew pessoal?
[02:53] <baltadt> it's a mytouch 3g
[02:53] <Noturno99> good night
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> dabukalam:  it should still download/install it - it should just ask to confirm.  The soruces homepage should have info on the key id think
[02:53] <new2Ubuntu> DasEi - the internal hard drive I have in this comp was partitioned when I installed window XP Pro - so there's a 50 Gb partition and then the other 200 or so is the next
[02:53] <Noturno99> some chanel about ubuntu in portuguese?
[02:53] <ratizar> is there a way to turn ubuntu desktop in to ubuntu netbook
[02:53] <Noturno99> channel
[02:53] <dabukalam> Dr_Willis: It does. i have the key, but how can I install it?
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> dabukalam:  some command taht i cant rember.
[02:54] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: open a terminal ..
[02:54] <new2Ubuntu> when I said screw you to MS and the whole blocking my key cause I had re-installed so many times, I left them paertitioned and just reformatted the 50 Gb to intall ubuntu..
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> !apt
[02:54] <DasEi> ratizar: no, fresh install
[02:54] <bleepbloop> am I insane for wanting to put Debian 5.0 on my imac G4? i.e. should I just leave mac OS 10.3.9 on it, or would installing debian be a good learning experience?
[02:54] <Noturno99> hi people, somebody help about my network connection?
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> dabukalam:  check the apt-get docs/manual perhaps. I rarely worry about keys much
[02:54] <hattoricaca> dabukalam: sudo apt-key add <keyfile>
[02:54] <new2Ubuntu> from what I've read the other partition is turned off - something with ubuntu not playing nice with it cause windows had it turned off..
[02:54] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[02:54] <technocp> hi Noturno99
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> bleepbloop:  whats the specs/ram of the imac? thats teh ppc imac right?
[02:54] <Noturno99> hi
[02:55] <technocp> what was it
[02:55] <new2Ubuntu> ﻿sudo apt-get install pastebinit - typing now
[02:55] <Noturno99> in my house I have one connection, that I configured one dial up with user and password, ok?
[02:55] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[02:55] <DasEi> kk
[02:55] <Paddy_NI> If I have a 500GB external USB HDD can I split it up so that I can boot multiple distro install ISO's ala "USB Start up disk creator" or must I dedicate this one drive to one distro (ISO)?
[02:55] <technocp> ok
[02:55] <Noturno99> when I use my notebbok in another connection it doesn't work
[02:55] <bleepbloop> Dr_Willis: I'm actually copy pasting them all to a text file to email to myself right now haha, and yeah it's the PPC model
[02:55] <Noturno99> why?
[02:55] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: you can copy and paste from messenger to trml
[02:55] <Noturno99> i used 'pppoeconf' for configure in my house
[02:56] <new2Ubuntu> Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe pastebinit 0.9-0ubuntu1
[02:56] <new2Ubuntu>   Could not resolve ':@'
[02:56] <new2Ubuntu> Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pastebinit/pastebinit_0.9-0ubuntu1_all.deb  Could not resolve ':@'
[02:56] <new2Ubuntu> E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[02:56] <Paddy_NI> GRRRRR!
[02:56] <blendmaster1024> Paddy_NI, what you ask can be done, but it takes a little more work than the usb utility
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> bleepbloop:  my imacdv has 128mb of ram and its so sluggish in Ubuntu 9.10 - im about to put OS-X  back on it. It at least can do a 'terminal/ssh' session in OS-X to my filessrvers decently.
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> blendmaster1024:  Ubuntu on it - is so slow its almost unuseable
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> oops that was for bleepbloop  :)
[02:56] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> bleepbloop:  if you got more ram . it might work better.
[02:57] <Paddy_NI> blendmaster1024, partition the drive into say.. 10 gb partitions and use the distros usb install method?
[02:57] <blendmaster1024> Paddy_NI, probably not.
[02:57] <Paddy_NI> oh
[02:57] <Paddy_NI> blendmaster1024, ah you mean in a magazine kinda way
[02:57] <Paddy_NI> I get you
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_NI:  many new disrtos can boot with grub2 - boot the ISO file of the disrto. I set up about 4 live cd's iso files that way on a external usb flash drive.
[02:58] <blendmaster1024> i just tried to install ubuntu on my server box (i'm install desktop and intend to convert it, since server is only for 64bit), and it failed when it tried to install grub. any idea where i would start troubleshooting that?
[02:58] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[02:58] <new2Ubuntu> upgrade did nothing - says there's nothing to upgrade
[02:58] <protojay> thanks u dum bot
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_NI:  i got all 4+ iso's on a single partition.  Siome times the live cds may need a little setup to properly save changesd and stuff.. but it works decently well
[02:58] <GentooJay> blendmaster1024, where are you installing grub
[02:58] <Paddy_NI> Dr_Willis, I mean so that I can land at my customers house and decide then and there what distro I think would be appropriate
[02:59] <blendmaster1024> GentooJay, the default. i think (hd0,1) but i'm not sure, maybe (hd0).
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_NI:  thats possible. I made a 4 iso flash drive that could install ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, or a few other disrtos.
[02:59] <Paddy_NI> Dr_Willis, using my external HDD ofcourse
[02:59] <DasEi> blendmaster1024: little confusing, : both, desktop and server are there in 32 and 64 bit. what's the hardware of that box ? 32? 64 ? ram ?
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_NI:  i even set up my Installed bx's to boot the iso files as a 'rescue' feature
[02:59] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[02:59] <Paddy_NI> Dr_Willis, Music to my ears
[02:59] <technocp> i think dial-up connections are not user centric. if you are using a different connection you need to re configure it. either you create two set of config files and create a script. you use the appropriate script for the connection that you might be using
[02:59] <GentooJay> blendmaster1024, try installing it on sda or hd0
[02:59] <blendmaster1024> DasEi, oh, really? i only have ever seen a 64, time to try again.
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_NI:  not ALL disrtos support grub2 booting their ISO files.. *yet*
[03:00] <DasEi> Paddy_NI: also have a look at virtualbox
[03:00] <Paddy_NI> Dr_Willis, P.S I have always loved you :P
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_NI:  dont tell my wife.
[03:00] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_NI:  i saw a 'portable virtualbox' setup the other day also. :) for testing
[03:00] <Paddy_NI> Dr_Willis, ah What I meant was just booting via any computer that supported booting from usb
[03:00] <Paddy_NI> :/
[03:00] <new2Ubuntu> so does anyone have a clue as to what the "Err http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security Release.gpg Could not resolve ':@'" message means?
[03:01]  * Paddy_NI watches his dreams fall flat 
[03:01] <Paddy_NI> :(
[03:01] <technocp> i am trying to set vesa driver on my 8.10 intrepid i want to get a full 1280x768 resolution can any one suggest the best way to configure the same
[03:01] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: you get an error from sudo apt-get update ?
[03:01] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_NI:   Hmm?  i can boot muy flash drive and isntall any of the disrtos i got on it to any pc. that does support usb booting of course.
[03:01] <Paddy_NI> Dr_Willis, perhaps that comp seeing the ext usb hdd as * many different ISO's
[03:01] <new2Ubuntu> yes I do - DasEi - how frustrating is THAT..
[03:02] <uncmar> I am going to do a wipe and reinstall.  I have backed up /home and /etc.
[03:02] <DasEi> !paste
[03:02] <uncmar> Are there any other well known configuration locations that I should backup?
[03:02] <uncmar> I will not be restoring /etc directly.  I know to hand pick the files that get restored.
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_NI:  thats not how it works.  Ive seen the U3 flash drives somehow show uo as cd's but still if the PC cant boot from USB.. its not going to work
[03:02] <Darkseid> yeah
[03:02] <freeagent504> anyone familiar with ubuntu tweak???
[03:02] <Darkseid> backup /etc
[03:02] <uncmar> The reason for the reinstall is a drive space issue.  Using about 97% of / as an ext3 partition. I don't see a safe method of resize under those conditions.
[03:02] <Paddy_NI> Dr_Willis, but using a 500gb external usb hdd to boot multiple distros
[03:02] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: saw the paste above ? (trml:) gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:02] <hattoricaca> freeagent504, yup
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_NI:  if you boot them via grub2/iso files - thats trivial.
[03:02] <Paddy_NI> hmm
[03:02] <Paddy_NI> I get you
[03:02] <bleepbloop_> Dr_Willis: sorry about that, something weird happened with my IRC client
[03:02] <Darkseid> and then backup the hidden folders in your home dir
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_NI:  or use syslinux.
[03:03] <Darkseid> the ones that start with a period
[03:03] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: paste your sources.list, give url here
[03:03] <freeagent504> hey i just cleaned the kernels
[03:03] <new2Ubuntu> paste above? - am I looking In-Chat or In-Terminal
[03:03] <Darkseid> generally they have application specific configs in them
[03:03] <bleepbloop_> Dr_Willis: but yeah, my imac has 512 mb of ram
[03:03] <hattoricaca> first prog i dl  on fresh install
[03:03] <freeagent504> and i restarted
[03:03] <Paddy_NI> Dr_Willis, I need to read some better docs to be honest
[03:03] <DasEi> !paste | new2Ubuntu
[03:03] <freeagent504> and the grub has not changed
[03:03] <freeagent504> the menu entries
[03:03] <DevilM> Hi , IS There a Good Voice Karaoke for ubuntu ?
[03:03] <bleepbloop_> Dr_Willis: and I thought Canonical stopped supporting PPC with 8.04 or something?
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> bleepbloop_:  it may be a  faster then.. but still i find ubinti on it sluggish. the things are just to old. :)
[03:03] <applesnacks> I'm trying to a get an fully portable version of ubuntu running off my flash drive, but apparently the live usb drive only works once - anyone know how to do this that doesn't involve dependencies on the computer?
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> bleepbloop_:  its not supported by them  - its community supported.
[03:04] <diego25635> Hi, I've got an issue regarding a external monitor connected via vga from a laptop, is there a way to make xubuntu 8.10 use the native resolution of this monitor
[03:04] <Darkseid> applesnacks good luck with that
[03:04] <Dr_Willis> bleepbloop_:  so dont expect a lot of support.
[03:04] <bleepbloop_> Dr_Willis: but I wouldn't be installing ubuntu, I would be installing Debian
[03:04] <new2Ubuntu> !paste
[03:04] <Dr_Willis> bleepbloop_:  its all about the same.
[03:04] <Darkseid> thats the same exact experience I have had with bootable USB
[03:04] <Noturno99> hi people, somebody help me?
[03:04] <Dr_Willis> bleepbloop_:  unless you are going console only..
[03:04] <Darkseid> and I have yet to find out a way to make it work
[03:04] <bleepbloop_> Dr_Willis: console only?
[03:04] <new2Ubuntu> o.k. so - I have no clue how to use  commands in an IRC chat - I'm a video and soudn editor/engineer..
[03:04] <duper> How would I store a glob in variable for later use when scripting bash? So far, I've only been able to use it as a literal in the REPL..
[03:04] <remickjb> what is the best app to rdp into a windows environment?
[03:04] <GentooJay> Noturno99, maybe, whats up?
[03:05] <new2Ubuntu> Which means I can be taught - just have no clue
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> bleepbloop_:  annoying thing with macs. to adjust the MONITOR you have to use the OS9 or OS-x config tools.. i never did find a way to properly adjust the size/position of my Linux installs.
[03:05] <duper> remickjb: I prefer rdesktop
[03:05] <GentooJay> vinagre? maybe for RDP idk
[03:05] <Darkseid> terminal server client
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> bleepbloop_:  a GUI is a gui. and will need more power.. so  it all deopends on what you are running.
[03:05] <new2Ubuntu> are you asking to show you what a screenshot?
[03:05] <technocp> i am trying to set vesa driver on my 8.10 intrepid i want to get a full 1280x768 resolution can any one suggest the best way to configure the same
[03:05] <luis__> why u cant install 2 packages at the same time??
[03:05] <hattoricaca> freeagent504: but the packages are gone or still there?
[03:05] <DevilM> Hi , IS There a Good Voice Karaoke for ubuntu ?
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> luis__:  how about Unintall one while you are installing it at teh same time.. see the potential problems?
[03:05] <duper> rdesktop crypto is weak, you could probably revserse engineering the protocol and write one on your own..
[03:06] <Dr_Willis> luis__:  to keep the system from getting confused. Is the big reaason
[03:06] <freeagent504> hattoricaca: yeah
[03:06] <freeagent504> gone
[03:06] <DasEi> !who | new2Ubuntu
[03:06] <bleepbloop_> Dr_Willis: hmm, this isn't an important computer, and I never use it, so I might just try it out and if stuff gets screwed up too much, I can reinstall mac os x, right?
[03:06] <dabukalam_> Dr_Willis: Sorry go disconnected
[03:06] <GentooJay> personally, I would setup vnc, and keep the port closed off, and use ssh to tunnel
[03:06] <diego25635> but xubuntu 8.10 has no good x integration with my monitor, and configuregtk no longer exist in 8.10, could debian have a better hardware detection?
[03:06] <new2Ubuntu> ty ubott
[03:06] <Dr_Willis> bleepbloop_:  if you got the disks yes. :) but i found the reinstall of ox-x took forever.. actually it took LONGER for me to install Uubntu 9.10 on it then os-x.
[03:06] <hattoricaca> freeagent504: try sudo update-grub
[03:07] <new2Ubuntu> !dasei yes?
[03:07] <new2Ubuntu> did I do that correctly?
[03:07] <Dr_Willis> bleepbloop_:  i just use mine as a terminal mainly.  Good Luck. gota run
[03:07]  * Dr_Willis is gone to work. bye

[03:08] <Darkseid> packages can only be installed one at a time (and their dependencies) because the local apt repository has a lock file placed on it when something is accessing it
[03:08] <DasEi> !brain
[03:08] <Darkseid> this is to ensure the safest possible scenario for install and help prevents getting things all hosed up
[03:08] <diego25635> shamike did you had your installation in differente partitions?
[03:09] <Darkseid> apt database that is
[03:09] <new2Ubuntu> o.k. DasEi - doing that now...
[03:09] <shamike> diego25635, no just one
[03:09] <Darkseid> in any case it ensures that the system stays in one piece
[03:09] <technocp> i am trying to set vesa driver on my 8.10 intrepid i want to get a full 1280x768 resolution can any one suggest the best way to configure the same
[03:09] <Darkseid> techno
[03:10] <diego25635> oops, then I supposed you erased ntfs partition and used ext3 instead to install ubuntu
[03:10] <shamike> it is a gateway nv52 laptop and i made recovery disk when i first got it
[03:10] <Darkseid> edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:10] <Darkseid> for the driver put in vesa
[03:11] <diego25635> then it shouldn't any trouble, your recovery disk will do everything
[03:11] <Darkseid> and then you can manually set the resolution in there as well
[03:11] <new2Ubuntu> o.k.
[03:11] <diego25635> yes but I'm kinda newb regarding xorg and I may screw things
[03:11] <Darkseid> once you are done restart the X server
[03:12] <Haxx> Hey guys, Ubuntu noob here <3 xD
[03:12] <new2Ubuntu> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3b2f7cf0
[03:12] <Darkseid> no such thing as an Ubuntu noob, just an Ubuntu user
[03:12] <new2Ubuntu> DasEi - that's what you need?
[03:12] <Darkseid> we all just have different experiences with it
[03:12] <Elite_> ok new Q how do i open tcp/udp port 3728 in ubuntu 9.04 x86 ?
[03:12] <Darkseid> ;)
[03:13] <new2Ubuntu> Darkseid - it's kinda like Reformed MS/Mac users right
[03:13] <yoyoned> !firewall|Elite_
[03:13] <freeagent504> sudo
[03:13] <hattoricaca> Elite_: what do you mean by "open" it? it's a firewall on your pc or a port redir on you router?
[03:13] <GentooJay> just use iptables
[03:13] <diego25635> I need DRI support, and I learning sdl development so I can use vesa
[03:13] <haxx> Baddog144 you here?
[03:13] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: yes, and there are lots of "suprises" in :
[03:14] <diego25635> is can't not can
[03:14] <new2Ubuntu> lol surprises....   that sounds like FUN
[03:14] <Elite_> i have no firewall . i installed gigatribe under wine and it needs that port to connect
[03:14] <freeagent504> hattoricaca: where can i find sudo-grub
[03:14] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: first, you're running hardy heron, 8.04,  not ibex (8.10), and then there are incompatible sources in, like feisty and some other irregulars
[03:14] <Darkseid> Gentoo:  Linux for Human Beings
[03:15] <hattoricaca> freeagent504: the command is "sudo update-grub"
[03:15] <Darkseid> Who have WAYYYY too much time on their hands
[03:15] <hattoricaca> not sudo-grub
[03:15] <Elite_> and i have no router i have a direct connection
 hahaha
[03:15] <new2Ubuntu> Anyone want to look at my Ubuntu 8.04.01 Hardy Heron "Surprises" ???  click ---> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3b2f7cf0
[03:15] <hattoricaca> Elite_: if you have no firewall, then there is nothing closing any port
[03:15] <new2Ubuntu> yes - I know I'm running Hardy - i knew that..
[03:15] <Flannel> new2Ubuntu: "Surprises"?
[03:16] <new2Ubuntu> yeah flannel..
[03:16] <Elite_>  by default all ubuntu ports are closed
[03:16] <shamike> ok it says fail to get disk 0 partition 1 drive letter
[03:16] <new2Ubuntu> o.k. so DasEi - how screwed am i and is this as simple as uninstalling something
[03:16] <Flannel> new2Ubuntu: I'm not sure what your issue is, but you shouldn't have hardy-proposed enabled.
[03:16] <hattoricaca> Elite_: then you are using a raw iptables fwll
[03:17] <groundup> hello
[03:17] <new2Ubuntu> Flannel - if I knew what that meant - then i probably wouldn't have it enabled...
[03:17] <Elite_> and since i am using a program under wine ubuntu will not open the port cause it does it see it
[03:17] <new2Ubuntu> :-p
[03:17] <groundup> how do i setup up specific users to have access to create their own website in their account?
 you should be able to open the port with iptables
[03:18] <groundup> anyone?
[03:18] <Flannel> new2Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories
[03:18] <groundup> im trying to make a web server
[03:18] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: idk what you use that machine for , it's no problem to revert it to its original state, but on the other hand the distros really have improved, so if you got no certain reason , a fresh install  also considering ongoing support) wouldn't hurt, too
[03:18] <Elite_> but will iptables see the program running under wine ?
[03:18] <hattoricaca> Elite_: i'm not sure i understood you, can you pastebin the output of "sudo iptables-save"?
[03:18] <groundup> using one host, with 20 users on it
[03:18] <Darkseid> well they can write whatever they want to in their home dirs
[03:18] <Elite_> ok 1 sec
[03:18] <groundup> i want each users to create their site
[03:18] <Flannel> groundup: Install apache, enable userdir, have them create folders called ~/public_html that are world readable (and put stuff in them)
[03:18] <groundup> any idea?
 doubt it, but you can make sure all traffic is allowed on the port
[03:19] <new2Ubuntu> o.k.  well this machine is our only machine - i live in the middle of nowhere - so downloads must be done after 2am til 6am - so I could download but then not sure how to then install..
[03:19] <Elite_> ok where did it save to ?
[03:19] <Go-er> Hi all. If I double click title bar it is too slow to fold/unfold. How do I set the speed pls?
[03:19] <groundup> Flannel, installed lamp already
[03:20] <technocp> hi Darkseid can you please explain in a bit more details
[03:20] <Go-er> rollup speed?
[03:20] <Flannel> groundup: sudo a2enmod userdir && sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart, then they're ready to go. They just have to make sure ~/public_html (and the stuff in it) is world readable
[03:20] <freeagent504> hattoricaca: thanks
[03:20] <new2Ubuntu> And the reason why I went with this version is because of my work - and I was told that Ubuntu Studio was best for video and audio engineering
[03:20] <freeagent504> it updated
[03:21] <freeagent504> i will restart
[03:21] <freeagent504> and see
[03:21] <hattoricaca> freeagent504: thank you! i hadn't checked the cleaner, one more for this amazing app
[03:22] <Go-er> pls?
[03:22] <Elite_> hattoricaca where did it save too i can not find the output ?
[03:22] <groundup> Flannel, how do you make them world readable?
[03:22] <hattoricaca> it outputs to a terminal
[03:22] <Elite_> nothing happened
[03:22] <Elite_> elite@Total-Wipeout:~$ sudo iptables-save
[03:22] <Elite_> [sudo] password for elite:
[03:22] <Elite_> elite@Total-Wipeout:~$
[03:23] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: ubuntu studio again is another distro than hardy, though based on the same core, from what you say I sugggest to first get a clean hardy back, and then do upgrades like ubuntu-studio or release-upgrades in your as said night times
[03:23] <blendmaster1024> i just tried a "grub-install /dev/sda --recheck --root-directory=/target" to fix my grub problem, but it had an error of "grub-probe: error: cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map`"
[03:23] <blendmaster1024> anyone know what caused this?
[03:23] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: do you have to pay your bandwith or is it flat at this time s?
[03:24] <Flannel> groundup: You can do it through the GUI (properties, etc) or chmod a+r foo

[03:24] <technocp> hi Elite_ I am using a program using wine which is working perfectly but I get some problems when I am printing. I am not sure if it is a problem given by Ubntu, wine or my vesa driver. I am using Vesa Driver because with my intel driver the speed of program i am running is very slow. to this I found that xorg is eating most of the processor and after googling I found we can resolve it by using vesa driver. I definitely got it right and now the speed
[03:24] <technocp> issue is resolved. but the thing is that I am not able to increase the screen resolution and the printing problem as I said earlier
[03:24] <hattoricaca> or w/sudo
[03:25] <Elite_> sorry my bad
[03:25] <DasEi> blendmaster1024: what does a : grub --version return ?
[03:25] <blendmaster1024> ahem... grub...
[03:25] <new2Ubuntu> like I'm allowed a certain amount of bandwidth per month and per day - but am exempt between 2 am and 6 am for uloading updates etc
[03:25] <blendmaster1024> DasEi, ... 0.97
[03:25] <Darkseid> time to manage the ESX boxes
[03:25] <Darkseid> yay me
[03:25] <mhall119> does anyone know where xsplash gets called during startup?
[03:26] <Flannel> DasEi: Ubuntu Studio isn't another distro
[03:26] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
 i think its usplash, and grub loads it i'm pretty sure its in the grub.conf
[03:26] <DasEi> blendmaster1024: that's grub 1 then, not the current grub2 (as in karmic default) away from prefix with sudo, approaches are different
[03:26] <new2Ubuntu> PLEASE tell me there's a terminal command to get rid of crap and go clean
[03:26] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[03:26] <new2Ubuntu> :-)
[03:26] <new2Ubuntu> :-)
[03:26] <Elite_> i am trying to get gigatribe to work but it needs tcp/udp port 3728
[03:27] <DasEi> Flannel: well, got an own installer, thaough can be past-installed
[03:27] <blendmaster1024> DasEi, of course, i hate grub2, it gives me all kinds of problems that are a million times worse
[03:27] <hattoricaca> mhall19: you can start by checking " sudo grep -Rl xsplash /etc/* "

[03:27] <goleandro> Hello! (:
[03:27] <yoyoned> Elite_: have you looked at any documentation for configuring the firewall
[03:27] <hattoricaca> Elite_: what happened with the output of iptables or iptables-save?
[03:28] <Elite_> nothing happened
[03:28] <Elite_> it just went back to $
[03:28] <alteregoa> How to apply changes in /etc/network/interfaces w/o OS restart?
[03:28] <Elite_> i have no firewall installed
[03:28] <mhall119> hattoricaca, thanks, looks like it's part of GDM
[03:29] <new2Ubuntu> I COULD just try and Install Pardus, Kubuntu 9.1 Desktop i386, or PCBSD 7.1.1      but I was Really digging ubuntu until I found out i had "surprises"
[03:29] <groundup> Flannel, how do you make them world readable?
[03:29] <hattoricaca> mhall119: cool
[03:29] <Flannel> groundup: You can do it through the GUI (properties, etc) or chmod a+r foo
[03:29] <groundup> how do you make a folder world readable
[03:29] <alteregoa> i ask in debian
[03:29] <groundup> i dont use gui
[03:29] <groundup> chmod et etc
[03:30] <groundup> i see
[03:30] <Flannel> groundup: for folders, you'll want to chmod it x as well as r, so chmod a+rX
[03:30] <groundup> alright
[03:30] <groundup> then their created website will be at www.foofoo.org/~users?
[03:31] <groundup> flannel
[03:31] <technocp> hi alteregoa you can restart your network by issuing this command /etc/init.d/networking restart this will make your new configuration setting take effect
[03:32] <new2Ubuntu> ﻿Flannel: am I going to have to do a reinstall or can I "revert" to or uninstall things to go back to a "Clean Install"
[03:32] <new2Ubuntu> ﻿DasEi: am I going to have to do a reinstall or can I "revert" to or uninstall things to go back to a "Clean Install"
[03:32] <Elite_> i read public ubuntu has no open ports by default and that it will open ports as needed but since gigatribe is running from wine i guess ubuntu does not see the program so no ports get opened
[03:32] <hattoricaca> Elite_; pm'd you
[03:32] <Elite_> ok
[03:32] <trevor_> new2Ubuntu,why would you have to reinstall?
[03:33] <groundup> how do i use ngnix instead of apache?
[03:33] <new2Ubuntu> trevor_: because I have "surprises"
[03:33] <groundup> is ngnix better than apache?
[03:33] <blendmaster1024> groundup, for a lot of things.
[03:33] <new2Ubuntu> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3b2f7cf0
[03:33] <trevor_> what are these surprises, i didnt catch the original issue
[03:33] <trevor_> ok
 yes, I missed the surprises whats that
[03:34] <new2Ubuntu> click the afformentioned link GentooJay
[03:34] <blendmaster1024> GentooJay, any suggestions for my grub problem?
[03:34] <groundup> blendmaster1024: you mean its better right?
[03:34] <OM> hi
 sorry what was it again?
[03:34] <OM> ????
[03:34] <blendmaster1024> groundup, for most things.
[03:34] <new2Ubuntu> hi OM - are you you .25, .5, 1, 2, 4, or 8?
[03:34] <OM> 26
[03:35] <new2Ubuntu> and I KNOW that's oHm but lol
[03:35] <blendmaster1024> GentooJay, grub-probe can't open /boot/grub/device.map
[03:35] <groundup> blendmaster1024: any idea how to replace apache with ngnix?
[03:35] <br_player_sp> boa noite
[03:35] <blendmaster1024> groundup, nope.
[03:35] <OM> nice
[03:35] <OM> :)
 it can't find it or cant open it
[03:35] <new2Ubuntu> <-- video/audio engineer
[03:36] <new2Ubuntu> = messed up sense of humour
[03:36] <OM> video open files
[03:36] <omeddraogn> what is the ubuntu server like this right irc.ubuntu.com/1866
[03:36] <blendmaster1024> GentooJay, yes, i figured. it's a chroot i'm trying to grub-isntall for, so that i can fix this partially installed ubuntu system
[03:36] <OM> its esey
[03:36] <OM> by
[03:36] <hl> why screen is terminating ,when i use 'screen rtorrent'
[03:36] <new2Ubuntu> so did you guys see my "surprises"
[03:37] <onetinsoldier> no security updates?
 hmm, have you tried manually using grub instead of grub-install
[03:38] <Eltume> where are the default games on Windows located? What's the path?
[03:38] <blendmaster1024> it won't work!! it's broken! why??? lol... no, i didn't know there was any more manually to go than grub-installo
[03:38] <kinja-sheep> Eltume: It all depends on how you "install" it.
[03:38] <onetinsoldier> new2Ubuntu: no security updates anymore for hardy? was that the surprise?
[03:38] <valros> ive got the permissions(drwxr-xr-x  1  root, root) on a remote folder, root cannot change them, is there a work around?
[03:38] <bastid_raZor> new2Ubuntu: yeah, for one you have feisty and hardy repo's .. that is a great way to break things.
[03:39] <Eltume> kinja-sheep the games were installed on windows by default
[03:39] <kinja-sheep> Eltume: Default Windows Games (ie Solitare?)  Ask in ##windows
[03:39] <Eltume> kinja-sheep exactly
 in your chrooted environment, try just going: "grub" to pull up the grub prompt
[03:39] <groundup> exit
[03:39] <blendmaster1024> ok...
[03:39] <blendmaster1024> ....next?
 then root (hd0,0) or whatever it is for you
[03:40] <GentooJay> whatever /boot is
[03:40] <new2Ubuntu> I have no Idea onetin - I am basically a newb trying to figure out why java  for firefox won't install, why I can't turn on an NTFS partition and how to fix the problem..  I don't even understand what the sources.list is for - but I'm guessing it's telling my comp where to update from
[03:40] <blendmaster1024> ok
[03:40] <Eltume> kinja-sheep, the channel seems deserted
[03:40] <GentooJay> then do "setup (hd0) "  or whatever hard drive
[03:41] <GentooJay> tell me what it does...
[03:41] <blendmaster1024> GentooJay, finished without error
[03:41] <new2Ubuntu> lol can I CLEAR the sources.list and save it and then repair stuff?
[03:41] <GentooJay> nice..
[03:41] <Dashkal> Is there a tutorial or howto that discusses setting up bridging between physical ethernet ports and wireless on current versions of ubuntu?
[03:41] <blendmaster1024> new2Ubuntu, uhhhhh, let's see, put nice and clearly, *N*O*!!!
 i guess the question would be, does it work
[03:41] <new2Ubuntu> lol
[03:41] <new2Ubuntu> Blendmaster1024: I figured as much lol
[03:42] <kinja-sheep> new2Ubuntu: Sources.list contains a list of repositories (or servers) which contain sets of *clean* packages.
[03:42] <new2Ubuntu> o.k  for starters I should delete the feisty line?
[03:42] <Eltume> how do I add another channel to my favorite channel list on the same server?
[03:42] <new2Ubuntu> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3b2f7cf0
 you know what would probably be easiest for you mate, backup your /home and reinstall
[03:43] <kinja-sheep> Eltume: What IRC client are you using?
[03:43] <new2Ubuntu> gentoojay - where do I backup my /home to?
[03:43] <kinja-sheep> Eltume: If you're using XChat, you can right-click on the tab/tree and "Add To Favorites"
[03:43] <TheBigDirtyEmu> Does anyone know is there is any good cli tools for managing ipods?
  ..usb hd or something
[03:44] <new2Ubuntu> and then - i totally forget what I did to get my Wifi working last week..
[03:44] <new2Ubuntu> can't boot to usb
[03:44] <new2Ubuntu> only drivespace I have is internal
[03:44] <kinja-sheep> new2Ubuntu: Another hard drive or discs, even another computer would be fine. There are *many* way to backup. What do you have?
 ok, nevermind then
[03:44] <new2Ubuntu> I have 2 partitions - but the system partition is the only I can accesss
[03:44] <DasEi1> new2Ubuntu: my machine froze, sorry for interupt
[03:45] <new2Ubuntu> it's o.k. DasEi no worries
[03:45] <Eltume> thanks
[03:45] <DasEi1> new2Ubuntu: still need to repair hardy ?
[03:45] <new2Ubuntu> I have....  a CD-rom drive that I'm not sure if it will write - I haven't tried since I installed the OS
[03:45] <new2Ubuntu> yeah DasEi
[03:45] <new2Ubuntu> trying to figure out my steps
 it will probably work fine
[03:46] <new2Ubuntu> o.k. so tomorrow I'll have to go out and buy a blank cd..
[03:46] <kinja-sheep> new2Ubuntu: "du -sh /home/" -- What does that say?
[03:46] <glam18825>  ...........
[03:46] <DasEi1> new2Ubuntu: (trml) sudo synaptic
[03:46] <glam18825>  ...................__
[03:47] <blendmaster1024> GentooJay, ok, rebooted, it loaded grub but it didn't load the config file. i assume that can be fixed by a command before the actual "setup"? ... or maybe i messed up
[03:48] <blendmaster1024> f**!!!
[03:48] <blendmaster1024> i installed the wrong version of ubuntu.

[03:57] <Darkseid> put the mouse away in a corner
[03:57] <new2Ubuntu> lol that's WAY toooo easy

[03:57] <new2Ubuntu> lol
[03:57] <Darkseid> then make the screen shot the wallpaper
[03:57] <new2Ubuntu> save as background

[03:58] <DasEi1> new2Ubuntu: you can download the paste as txt, and then use it as a whole
[03:58] <new2Ubuntu> o.k. I have NO clue how to do anything as Root - I've seen people talk about it - but have NO clue what that means - inkling it's like admin login type stuff
[03:59] <Darkseid> new2ubuntu
[03:59] <joshua__> normally, sudo whatever
[03:59] <Darkseid> doing things as root means
[03:59] <Darkseid> sudo <command>
[03:59] <Darkseid> well almost always
[03:59] <new2Ubuntu> OOOOOHHHHHH
[03:59] <DasEi1> new2Ubuntu: see above given command
[04:00] <Suhail> How do you fgrep just files that end with *.py
[04:00] <new2Ubuntu> o.k. so it opened - now simply copy what you gave me and paste it
[04:00] <onetinsoldier> and root user does mean admin
[04:00] <RGangsta> Hi!
[04:00] <onetinsoldier> hi!

[04:02] <user123> hello, I have an HP pavilion DV6000 laptop with a AMD Turion 64 but the wireless card is not showing any wireless network. Anyone knows how to fix this?
[04:02] <Elite_> thanks guys have a good night/day cya's
[04:02] <freaky[t]> hi all. how do I enable java in ubuntu?
[04:02] <freaky[t]> !java
[04:03] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:03] <freaky[t]> thanks got it
 I assume this is at the login screen?
[04:03] <joshua__> Suhail: find . -name '*.py' -print0 | xargs -0 fgrep -i /dev/null 'ab_testing'
[04:03] <portari> yes
[04:03] <Suhail> joshua__: holy crap
[04:03] <new2Ubuntu> Freaky - you don't lol  no it seems it depends on your version and if your sources.list has any "surprises" in it or not
[04:03] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: if no erros thrown, shall sit for while
[04:03] <new2Ubuntu> Heard DasEi
[04:03] <portari> yes
[04:04] <new2Ubuntu> oh it's sitting - Indian style with a friggin pipe
[04:04] <GentooJay> hey, people in here, what does xubuntu use as the display manager (login)
[04:04] <Suhail> joshua__: there has to be something easier than that
[04:04] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: answer Y to install, when done, do : sudo apt-get autoremove              , hardy clean again
[04:05] <RGangsta> I cannot update Ubuntu from 9.04 to 9.1 through CD. Ubuntu gives out an error at updating, what to me to do? Help, please.
[04:05] <joshua__> Suhail: well if you don't have any spaces in filenames:
[04:05] <new2Ubuntu> hey DasEi: did you think it would work lol come on
[04:05] <joshua__> find . -name '*.py' | xargs fgrep -i 'ab_testing' /dev/null
[04:05] <new2Ubuntu> lol
[04:05] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: probs ?
[04:05] <Darkseid> portari go to http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/clean-up-ubuntu-grub-boot-menu-after-upgrades/
 I think hes talking about gdm
 er xdm, whatever xubuntu uses as their display manager
[04:06] <Darkseid> I think grub
[04:06] <portari> Darkseid is not on grub
[04:06] <new2Ubuntu> Yes DasEi - and I can't use pastebin - says what I entered was spam
[04:06] <Darkseid> when he turns on his PC he has to manually select the kernel to boot
[04:06] <Suhail> joshua__: can just regular grep do it easier?
[04:06] <iflema> RGangsta can you update via the internet?
[04:06] <Darkseid> the new kernel pukes and the original runs fine
[04:07] <portari> login screen, before select a user
[04:07] <DasEi> RGangsta: how did you try it ? added per synaptic, pulled network, did a release upgrade ?
 nah he said it was xfce he was chosing what kind of session
[04:07] <Darkseid> aah I missed that
[04:07] <Darkseid> sorry
[04:07] <user123> how can I modify grub2 so that I can allow more time to select the OS before booting
[04:07] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: did you d/l the paste to your desktop ?
[04:07] <new2Ubuntu> Err http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy/multiverse Translation-en_US Could not resolve ':@'
[04:07] <joshua__> well if you have CPU and DISK to burn: fgrep -ir 'ab_pattern' | grep '^[^:]*\.py:'
[04:08] <Dashkal> Trying to get bridging working in ubuntu 9.10.  I can get the bridge up, but then nm-applet is incapable of configuring the wireless.  I tried to use wpa_supplicant manually, but it doesn't seem to work at all (bridge or no bridge).  Are there any resources someone can point me towards for getting this functional?
[04:08] <new2Ubuntu> d/l the paste? -  for the sources.list ?  I simply copied what you had and pasted it
[04:08] <new2Ubuntu> <- assuming i did it wrong
[04:08] <freaky[t]> hm, java doesnt work for me. how do I get java working for google chrome under ubuntu?
[04:08] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: http://pastebin.com/f490a5011
[04:08] <hattoricaca> user123: try installing package startupmanager
[04:08] <new2Ubuntu> gross - what's the point of using Google Chrome with Ubuntu??
[04:09] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: call it in browser, press d/l as text, d/l to desktop
[04:09] <freaky[t]> new2Ubuntu, i like chrome
[04:09] <joshua__> Suahil: or if there's not more than about 500 files fgrep -ir 'ab_pattern `find . -name '*.py'`
 well I'm not sure what xubuntu comes with as the display manager, probably xdm
[04:09] <freaky[t]> java doesnt work in firefox either
[04:09] <Darkseid> I believe it is XDM
[04:09] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: should be a file there then, saying f..blah.txt
[04:09] <Darkseid> it only makes sense
[04:09] <user123> hattoricaca, do you know if its possible to install it offline?
[04:09] <GentooJay> well, it could be gdm
[04:09] <new2Ubuntu> DasEi - I clicked Download - it's now a txt file on the desktop
[04:10] <GentooJay> anyway, config file should be in.. /etc/X11/xdm
[04:10] <new2Ubuntu> ::: lights a cigarette ::
 I take a look
[04:10] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: (trml) sudo mv ~/Desktop/f490*  /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:10] <hattoricaca> user123: well, you will have to dl it from internet, but if you can't i'll tell you how to do it by editing grub's menu.lst
[04:10] <Darkseid> gentoo
[04:10] <new2Ubuntu> wo ist der auslanders?
[04:11] <joshua__> Suhail: the best thing for commands like the first version I gave you is to put it in a script
[04:11] <Darkseid> Xubuntu uses GDM as the default display manager
 ahhhhhh ok
[04:11] <user123> hattoricaca, please tell me how to do it by editing the menu.lst
[04:11] <sixtila> what permission should i give to my folders?
[04:11] <portari> yes, there aren't xdm
 in that case its in /etc/X11/gdm
[04:11] <new2Ubuntu> DasEi - o.k. that command renames it correct
[04:12] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:12] <new2Ubuntu> o.k.
[04:12] <portari> no, xinit
[04:12] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: errors ?
[04:12] <portari> xkb
[04:12] <joshua__> I must have shocked suhail pretty badly
[04:12] <portari> xsession
[04:13] <Suhail> joshua__: yeah, kind of. It just seemed like something that didn't need to be so complicated i guess
[04:13] <new2Ubuntu> o.k. the update - gave a list of couldn't fetch
[04:13] <new2Ubuntu> and the upgrade gave me all zeros - non upgraded none to upgrade
[04:13] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: ok, but  it updates and finishes ?
 I think its xsession.. I use slim so I'm not sure what file to edit
[04:13] <hattoricaca> user123: press alt+f2 and enter this "gksu gedit /etc/default/grub"
[04:13] <joshua__> Suhail: you see, on ancient unix systems you didn't frequently distinguish file types by extension
[04:13] <new2Ubuntu> what do you mean by Updates?
[04:14] <new2Ubuntu> cause it didn't load anything
[04:14] <Suhail> joshua__: so change it!
[04:14] <Suhail> joshua__: jk--i understand
[04:14] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: is it running or stopping with an error ?
[04:14] <T0mRiddle> How do I edit the commands in runlevel S?
[04:14] <new2Ubuntu> no didn't give an error
[04:14] <joshua__> Suhail: hense my recommendation about script. Small scripts is what drives unix
[04:14] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: finished ?
[04:14] <new2Ubuntu> just a whole bunch of Could not resolve @:
[04:14] <new2Ubuntu> yes
[04:15] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: sudo synaptic
[04:15] <new2Ubuntu> trml is waiting for my next godly command
 OH hey bud
[04:15] <new2Ubuntu> Synaptic Package Manager is opened
[04:15] <portari> Thanks, GentooJay, I will take a look
[04:16] <new2Ubuntu> Lord Voldamort (sp) - just flick and swish
[04:16] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: preferences (settings?) > sources
 /usr/share/xsessions
[04:16] <genii> T0mRiddle: less /etc/rcS.d/README gives a hint
 this should be what gdm reads from to populate the list
[04:16] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: download from > other
[04:16] <portari> in /usr/share/xsessions there are only 3 files :)
[04:16] <T0mRiddle> genii: cool cool, thanks
[04:17] <portari> default.desktop xfce.desktop and xterm.desktop
[04:17] <user123> hattoricaca, ok, then?
[04:17] <sargento> Is there any command to delete or remove a keyboard layout in Ubuntu?
 correct, which one did you use that worked
[04:17] <Darkseid> sargento
[04:17] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: fetch from the states near you
[04:17] <new2Ubuntu> DasEi - Settings-> Preferences, Repositories, Filters as options
[04:18] <hattoricaca> edit the line that reads "GRUB_TIMEOUT" and change the number of seconds you want it to wait
 because you can remove one of those desktop entries and it will be gone from the menu
[04:18] <Darkseid> system --> preferences --> keyboard
[04:18] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: repos
[04:18] <hsafir> hello
[04:18] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: download from > other
[04:18] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: fetch from the states near you
 I would suggest mv whatever.desktop ~/ to back it up
[04:18] <T0mRiddle> So just change something like S25brltty to K25brltty and no more Braille driver?
[04:18] <new2Ubuntu> DasEi: - opened a software Packages Window
[04:18] <joshua__> Suhail: you know I sometmes used to do it like so: fgrep -i 'ab_pattern' *.py */*.py */*.py */*/*.py
[04:18] <joshua__> Suhail: but that depends on knowning how deep your tree is
[04:18] <portari> GentooJay. by logic: 1st did not works, 2nd and 3rd works. I will try move 1st so
[04:19] <Suhail> gross
[04:19] <Suhail> joshua__: gross*
[04:19] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: then you're in the wrong tab, look around a little, there is a setting for the download loacation
[04:19] <hsafir> what are the odds i could actually get help with an ubuntu problem here? wow.. so many people... im guessing the odds are like 50:1
[04:19] <portari> my logic is correct? lol
 or you could cp xfce.desktop default.desktop
[04:19] <T0mRiddle> hsafir: My question was answered in less than a minute
[04:19] <hsafir> wow
[04:19] <hsafir> thats awesome
[04:19] <joshua__> funny how the more edge cases you see, the more you tend to type in the hypercorrect command than worry about whether the shortcut will work
[04:19] <portari> sure, I will try it now
 that will replace the default with the settings from the xfce configuration that worked..
[04:20] <hsafir> what is the etiquette for asking questions to this channel
[04:20] <iflema> !ask | hsafir
[04:20] <sargento> Darkseid, I did it a lot of times, but everytime I started up my Ubuntu, has English layout and I need to use Spanish layout, so I have to remove it to be able to use my Spanish layout. I need a command to execute it every time I start up my PC.
[04:20] <new2Ubuntu> DasEi - it was right - I found it - it's DLing from Rochester Institute of Technology
[04:20] <mustelo> if my wired internet suddenly doesn't show up in lspci output, I'm hosed right?
[04:20] <Darkseid> hrmph
[04:20] <user123> hattoricaca, there is a line "GRUB_DEFAULT = 0", is this the line I need to modify?
[04:20] <freaky[t]> hm, i cant get java to work. not with firefox and not with chrome .. can anyone help me? i did update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun ... but i get a lot of errors like: update-java-alternatives: jdk alternative does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/xjc
[04:20] <portari> sargento, you is brazilian?
[04:20] <joshua__> mustelo I'd assume so except for the fact that your internet seems to be working
[04:20] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: press reload in synaptic
[04:20] <mustelo> joshua__, wireless.
[04:20] <sargento> portari. Nop, Im Mexican
[04:20] <new2Ubuntu> DasEi - gave an Error
[04:21] <portari> ok sorry
[04:21] <freaky[t]> !java
[04:21] <hsafir> ok.  well, I purchased a netbook from dell a year ago with ubuntu 8.04 and today while using youtube the audio stopped working.  not only did it stop working for youtube but for everything.  I attempted everything i could find on the forums and a bit more
[04:21]  * GentooJay afk smoking send me a message if you have questions, I'll answer when I'm back
[04:21] <new2Ubuntu> I reloaded - and then tried two other locations
[04:21] <hsafir> i am not using pulseaudio or anything to my knowledge
[04:21] <sargento> Is there any command to delete or remove a keyboard layout in Ubuntu?
[04:21] <cjae> what is a good web based video viewer?
[04:21] <new2Ubuntu> files are failing to load
[04:21] <Darkseid> sargento.. you added spanish, removed english and then checked the default next to spanish and selected apply system wide?
[04:22] <IdleOne> !away | GentooJay
[04:22] <new2Ubuntu> W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release.gpg  Could not resolve ':@'
[04:22] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: see, thats an older distri, some servers might be offline meanwhile, got to try a little with different ones to find a working one, then use reload again, the one (main) I gave you, was accessible for me 10 min ago
[04:22] <hattoricaca> user123: no, you have to modify the line that begins with "GRUB_TIMEOUT" and change the value to the number of seconds you want
[04:22] <DasEi> !hardy | new2Ubuntu
[04:22] <DasEi> !karmic
[04:22] <new2Ubuntu> DasEi - I'm thinking I'm gonna hafta reinstall...
[04:23] <sargento> Darkseid, that's right. Actually, English is not my default layout and even Spanish is selected as default, I need to remove English for my Spanish Layout works.
[04:23] <JohninLex> I know that "who" show what connections that I have open but I am not remember the command to kill all connection thanks for the help in advance
[04:23] <iflema> hsafir had there been updates or any changes around this that?
[04:23] <DasEi> !LTS | new2Ubuntu
[04:23] <hsafir> iflema, there have not been any updates
[04:23] <hsafir> i was watching youtube videos and the audio stopped
[04:23] <hsafir> i tried a different browser
[04:23] <hsafir> it worked for a while, then it stopped
[04:23] <Darkseid> hsafir what version?
[04:23] <hsafir> now no audio works at all
[04:23] <obiwan_> hi, please could anybody explain me why usually people uses 2 pgp subkeys? one for signing online docs like email, docs and stuff and one for encrypting things. I read that reason is that encrypted data must be more protected that online data, but why?
[04:23] <hsafir> 8.04
[04:24] <portari> GentooJay, when a try to copy xfce.desktop to default.desktop the system tell me: same files, cand copy
[04:24] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: less work, but more bandwith needed, I still didn't get, do you pay per load or got flat at nighttimes ?
[04:24] <iflema> hsafir a reboot?
[04:24] <hsafir> iflema, a million
[04:24] <iflema> lol
[04:24] <new2Ubuntu> i don't pay per load
[04:24] <portari> can't copy
[04:24] <gdiz> hello everyone.  I have an ipod touch that I would very much like to use with ubuntu.  From everything I see online, it doesn't seem like there's a way to put music on it yet.  Does anyone know different?
[04:24] <Darkseid> hmmm
[04:24] <new2Ubuntu> and what do you mean by go flat
[04:24] <iflema> ok.. hmmm

[04:24] <user123> hattoricaca, it already has the GRUB_TIMEOUT = 10
[04:25] <pdg1> can anyone help me install wtorrent onto this Xubunut machine? I'm trying to use lighttpd with php and sqlite but I have no idea what i'm doing
[04:25] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: either d/l is paid per load or per time
[04:25] <DasEi> (flatrate)
[04:25] <phirestalker> does anyone know a windows jabber client that actually works? you know doesn't rely on a server. I am trying to use it with empathy which just says people near by with no server to log in to. but all the windows clients want a bloody server
[04:25] <hattoricaca> user123: if you want it to show the menu then change GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT from 0 to a number of seconds
[04:25] <LtHummus> I have an ssh server running on my ubuntu machine.  I generated a keypair and I have the public key on the ubuntu machine and the private key on my mac laptop.  I can SSH in to the machine just fine.  I took my private key to work and I was unable to SSH in. I just got Access Denied (publickey).  Why would this happen?
[04:25] <JohninLex> I know that "who" show what connections that I have open but I am not remember the command to kill all connection thanks for the help in advance
[04:25] <JohninLex> I know that "who" show what connections that I have open but I am not remember the command to kill all connection thanks for the help in advance
[04:25] <Suhail> joshua__: I made a supergrep function in my bash_profile
[04:25] <new2Ubuntu> OH I have a daily and a monthly UL/DL limit
[04:25] <iflema> hsafir in a terminal type lspci -v | grep Audio. what if anything is the output?
[04:26] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: the daily is ?
[04:26] <Darkseid> iPod touch goodness http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-connect-iphoneipod-touch-using-usbin-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html
[04:26] <hattoricaca> user123: also you can change GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET from true to false, to show a countdown
[04:26] <joshua__> that's the way!
[04:26] <brandon-> anyone here good with gnome
[04:26] <hsafir> 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[04:26] <brandon-> is there anyway i can make a custom menu that just pops up Places
[04:26] <brandon-> like in XFCE
[04:26] <pdg1> brandon-, i am the best
[04:26] <new2Ubuntu> DasEi - can I throw the Ubuntu  Studio 8.04.1 CD back in my comp and restart and fix anything that way?
[04:27] <brandon-> theres an XFCE applet that just pops up the places submenu and i loved it
[04:27] <brandon-> recently switched back to gnome
[04:27] <iflema> hsafir ok
[04:27] <remix> hey guys!! i have a quick question, what do you recomend for linux noobs, fedora or ubuntu. i came from windows and i have been working with fedora about 2 weeks. i heard that it was for more advanced users. should i concider switching to unbuntu?
[04:27] <brandon-> and i miss that feature
[04:27] <iflema> hsafir same as me
[04:27] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: quite a lot, but updates are often needed, what's the daily   d/l limit ?
[04:27] <user123> hattoricaca, thank you
[04:27] <talented> remix, I use to use Fedora but have to say Ubuntu has an edge over user friendliness
[04:27] <Darkseid> remix honestly the fact that you are using linux is good enough
[04:27] <new2Ubuntu> DasEi - that's a good question - but my girlfriend maxed us out last month playing facebook zynga games on her XP laptop
[04:27] <pdg1> haha... i was just kidding :P sorry... I'm not the best at all. at anything
[04:27] <Darkseid> I suggest using them both and making your decision
[04:27] <MHz128> do I need a swap partition to use hibernate?
[04:28] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: oo, quite smalll then
[04:28] <hattoricaca> user123: dont forget to run in a terminal "sudo update-grub" or the changes won't take effect
 either/or really
[04:28] <hsafir> remix, if you find that fedora is easy to use then use it.  if you you want to try something easier maybe try ubuntu and then see which one you like better
[04:28] <Flannel> remix: You can try Ubuntu from a LiveCD if you'd like to try it out
[04:28] <new2Ubuntu> yes
[04:28] <freaky[t]> omg it works :DD
[04:28] <new2Ubuntu> they rape those who live in the mountains with our satellite internet
[04:28] <MHz128> new2Ubuntu, would a swap file work?
[04:28] <user123> hattoricaca, thank you
[04:28] <hsafir> iflema, hopefully then you may know how to fix problems related with the card without inducing tears and/or suicide
[04:28] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: least you can boot ubu-studio live and get it's working sources.list
[04:28] <hattoricaca> np
[04:28] <elky> new2Ubuntu, that's really not appropriate
[04:28] <iflema> hsafir tears... lol
[04:29] <new2Ubuntu> MHz128 - I don't know what swaping does or is
[04:29] <new2Ubuntu> elky - what's not appropriate?
[04:29] <punto> is there a way to upgrade ubuntu from jaunty to the latest version without update-manager? it's broken
[04:29] <brandon-> is there anyway to make a gnome menu that just shows the Places submenu, theres an applet for it in XFCE but there doesnt seem to be one for gnome, any ideas anyone?
[04:29] <iflema> hsafir i got (vev 01) you (rev 02)
[04:29] <Darkseid> yes
[04:29] <Darkseid> punto
[04:29] <elky> new2Ubuntu, using the word "rape" in that manner
[04:29] <kinja-sheep> new2Ubuntu: The word R4P3
[04:29] <talented> MHz128 I'm not sure if you need a swap partition for hibernation, but I know if you've got enough RAM you don't need that partition at all
[04:29] <phirestalker> how do I connect to empathy jabber service from windows?
[04:30] <DasEi> brandon-: submenu ? like drives listed there ?
[04:30] <punto> Darkseid: how?
[04:30] <talented> phirestalker, ask in the windows channel?
[04:30] <brandon-> dasei i mean the menu that says Places
[04:30] <kinja-sheep> talented: You need swap for suspend/hibernation but you don't need swap partition if you don't actively use them.
[04:30] <brandon-> from the gnome menu
[04:30] <IdleOne> phirestalker: ##windows
[04:30] <brandon-> but just that single menu
 I think theres a program called spark
[04:30] <iflema> hsafir sorry but... speakers test, try headphones... mute?
[04:30] <phirestalker> talented, but they wouldn't know about empathy
[04:31] <pdg1> maybe... does anyone know how to setup lighttpd with sqlite and php?
[04:31] <hsafir> unfortunately i dont have headphones around... its not on mute
[04:31] <talented> they should know jabber though, you don't need to tell them the client :P
[04:31] <DasEi> brandon-: I still don't understamd; you haven't got it in gnome ?
[04:31] <kinja-sheep> DasEi: brandon- wanted to know if it is possible to add solely "Places" only applet on the panel.
[04:31] <hsafir> ive done all of the tests in system preferences sound
[04:31] <brandon-> no its there, i just wanna make a seperate menu button that only shows the places menu
[04:31] <brandon-> theres an applet for it for XFCE
[04:31] <talented> kinja-sheep, well that should answer the question, guess there's no suspend to ram yet
[04:31] <iflema> hsafir boot a live cd... does sound work there.
[04:31] <brandon-> and gnome applets work in XFCE - is it safe to assume that XFCE applets work in gnome?
[04:31] <hsafir> dont have a cd drive
[04:31] <Darkseid> punto sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:31] <hsafir> just a netbook
[04:31] <iflema> hsafir usb live image
[04:32] <new2Ubuntu> Elky: - Transative Verb usage for rape - :pillage or plunder - ie the internet provider plunders my bank account - usage is correct sorry if you're offended by your ignorance of the english language - even sorrier if it's your native toungue
[04:32] <iflema> System /Administration / USB startup disk creator
[04:32] <hsafir> i dont think i even have one of those
[04:32] <hsafir> and i certainly dont have that in my menu
[04:32] <hsafir> i am apartment sitting
[04:32] <hsafir> i will try to find some headphones
[04:32] <new2Ubuntu> DasEi: so is it a relatively simple procedure to throw the Ubu-studio disk in the drive and restart and get the sources.list file I need
[04:32] <DasEi> brandon-: they use different libs and you get a overhead there, but you can try if space is not an issue, as you can remove it again, if things mess up
[04:32] <hsafir> somewhere
[04:32] <hattoricaca> pdg1: why not apache?
[04:33] <iflema> hsafir yeah good 8.04
[04:33] <hsafir> and maybe a flash drive
[04:33] <elky> new2Ubuntu, i'll explain in PM to you as talking about assault here is upsetting to some people
[04:33] <punto> Darkseid: but that just gets me the newest version of everything in my repository, doesn't it?
[04:33] <punto> Darkseid: I want it to switch to the newer one
[04:33] <punto> kameleon something
[04:33] <brandon-> was just hoping for an easy way to do it DasEi
[04:33] <brandon-> i love xfce and i love gnome
[04:33] <brandon-> i just love gnome more
[04:33] <DasEi> new2Ubuntu: as it's liveable, yes, mount the hd and  'sudo cp' it over
[04:33] <brandon-> its only missing this one feature

[04:35] <Parabola> floodbot ftw
[04:35] <hsafir> now i can play music
[04:35] <pdg1> hattoricaca, because i hear apache takes loads of resources

[04:35] <hsafir> why is it it didnt work before
[04:35] <hsafir> now it does
[04:35] <hsafir> randomly
[04:35] <brandon-> dasei its not an app, its an applet
[04:35] <new2Ubuntu> DasEi: or is it simple and straightforward?
[04:36] <brandon-> its called "xfce4-places-plugin"
[04:36] <pdg1> hattoricaca, I figured that's why it's called lighttpd
[04:36] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.

[04:37] <brandon-> im just asking questions, trying to use the channel for support like im supposed to
[04:38] <DasEi> oo
[04:38] <Flannel> brandon-: Please watch your tone and attitude.
[04:38] <brandon-> i hit enter a few times instead of using a comma, my bad no need to mute me
[04:38] <new2Ubuntu> o.k. so I should just wait to get that in the mail and then install all the video and audio aps that came w ubuntu studio?
[04:38] <brandon-> couldve just asked me to stop
[04:38] <onetinsoldier> punto: hello. you need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file first. i recommend making a backup of your current one
[04:38] <brandon-> sorry flannel
[04:38] <IdleOne> I did, you chose to swear
[04:38] <brandon-> i will try to do so in the future
[04:38] <IdleOne> and not follow the rules
[04:38] <user123> hattoricaca, ir didn't work, it only shows a conuntdown
[04:38] <brandon-> see how flannel did it, asked me politely and didnt sick a bot on me
[04:38] <brandon-> i will honor his wishes
[04:38] <IdleOne> brandon-: thank you
[04:38] <brandon-> and i apoligize
[04:38] <Darkseid> try this.  sudo apt-get remove update-manager && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install update-manager
[04:39] <Flannel> brandon-: Regardless of how you feel treated, there's no reason to attack anyone.
[04:39] <onetinsoldier> punto: you're running Jaunty right now?
[04:39] <brandon-> he attacked me with a bot, that was my defense mechanism
[04:39] <brandon-> i will try not to do it again
[04:39] <sargento> Is there any command to delete or remove a keyboard layout in Ubuntu?
[04:39] <punto> onetinsoldier: yeah
[04:39] <hsafir> ok doesnt work anymore
[04:39] <brandon-> out of respect for you flannel, since you helped me fix my pc a few weeks ago when nobody else tried to help me
[04:39] <punto> onetinsoldier: 9.04
[04:39] <Darkseid> sargento I am outta ideas on that one, sorry
[04:39] <iflema> hsafir latop?
[04:39] <hsafir> yeah
[04:39] <iflema> hsafir laptop?
[04:40] <DasEi> sargento: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
[04:40] <hsafir> it worked without anything happening
[04:40] <onetinsoldier> punto: roger. run a sed command to make your new sources.list file... hang on a sec
[04:40] <hsafir> and stopped working without anything happening
[04:40] <sargento> Thanks a lot anyway, thanks for trying.
[04:40] <Darkseid> I just did that
[04:40] <iflema> hsafir ok
[04:40] <hattoricaca> user123: i'm sorry, didn't you wanted a delay? maybe i didn't understood correctly
[04:40] <pdg1> hattoricaca, would you say apache has more resources / is easier to setup ? I'm not making a monster webserver... it's just for internal user
[04:40] <hsafir> is there a log i could look at
[04:40] <Darkseid> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and do a find and replace on jaunty to karmic
[04:40] <iflema> hsafir so it worked agin... you touched nothing.... then it stop... all by itself???
[04:40] <hsafir> yes
[04:41] <punto> update-manager-code
[04:41] <Darkseid> then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:41] <iflema> hsafir ok
[04:41] <punto> sorry, wrong terminal
[04:41] <user123> hattoricaca, well, yes, thats what I thought the problem was, but now I see it isnt
[04:41] <DasEi> brandon-: back on the sunny beach, alacarte lets you set lot's of menu options in gnome
[04:41] <new2Ubuntu> Is there a list of ALL sudo commands somewhere on the net - I'm sure there is...
[04:41] <brandon-> ok dasei ill try that out
[04:41] <Darkseid> new2ubuntu
[04:41] <sargento> DasEi, My mother uses my PC, so I need to do it without configuring. I was planning to add an initial script to remove it. Also that's why GUI solution is not for me.
[04:41] <onetinsoldier> punto: on the command line cd to your "/etc/apt" directory
[04:41] <kinja-sheep> !sudo | new2Ubuntu
[04:42] <brishu> hi, i cannot seem to be able to access computers on my network that use windows, i have samba set up and i checked to make sure that the workgroup is the same ...
[04:42] <DasEi> sargento: that was a bash command
[04:42] <kinja-sheep> new2Ubuntu: If some commands didn't work for you, add "sudo" before it to invoke authority privilege.
[04:42] <hattoricaca> pdg1: i use apache semi regularly, and to me it's easy to setup, maybe in some configs it can eat some resources, i couldn't say it's a whale either. you can disable all the extensions you don't use
[04:42] <brandon-> err alacarte is what i use when i click Edit Menus when right clicking on the degfault gnome menu, it does what i need it to do but it applies it to all menus instead of just one instance of it Dasei
[04:42] <punto> onetinsoldier: are you saying I should switch to the karmic repositories and do dist-upgrade?
[04:42] <new2Ubuntu> I wouldn't want to let google be a nazi and rape all my valuable and delegated searching minutes by giving me niggardly responses
[04:42] <punto> or apt-get upgrade
[04:42] <Darkseid> yes
[04:42] <pddean> Is there a way to set up Karmic so it doesn't require a password to unlock after a suspend?
[04:42] <hattoricaca> user123: then what is it?
[04:43] <new2Ubuntu> and yes that was for elky
[04:43] <kinja-sheep> brandon-: You could try and use xfce4-panel?
[04:43] <joshua__> new2ubuntu: of course not new ones are invented every day
[04:43] <DasEi> brandon-: whats the name of the xfce applet ?
[04:43] <brandon-> i just switched back from xfce kinja
 i think that setting is in the screensaver settings of gnome
[04:43] <onetinsoldier> punto: yes. you can do it quickly with a sed command
[04:43] <iflema> hsafir in terminal type uname -r
[04:43] <brandon-> or do you mean using the xfce panel while in gnome?
[04:43] <Darkseid> sed... old schooler
[04:43] <pddean> GentooJay, yeah, it isn't set there.  There has to b something else.
[04:43] <Darkseid> gedit find and replace
[04:43] <Darkseid> ;)
[04:43] <kinja-sheep> brandon-: I understand that but the great thing about it is that you could run just about anything. (Yes, that is what I mean by that).
[04:43] <user123> hattoricaca, well, I am not familiar with grub2. I cannot see the screen with the options where I can select the OS and boot it
[04:43] <hsafir> iflema, 2.6.24-24-lpia
[04:44] <brandon-> ill give that a shot kinja, thanks for the suggestion
[04:44] <onetinsoldier> punto:  you'll want to use dist-upgrade
[04:44] <iflema> hsafir so have you updated online lately?
[04:44] <hsafir> no
[04:44] <iflema> hsafir is there a reason for that?
[04:44] <kinja-sheep> brandon-: "aptitude install -yRs xfce4-places-plugin" (-R for eliminating recommends).
[04:44] <brandon-> i already got all that installed, i just gotta run it
[04:44] <RxDx> is there anything to improve the performance on my notebook with intel gma 965 (x3100)?
[04:45] <RxDx> and ubuntu 9.10
[04:45] <hsafir> because i have not seen any updates very recently
[04:45] <brandon-> i still have xfce installed, i just need to run xfce4-panel im guessing
[04:45] <Darkseid> what kind of performance?
[04:45] <kinja-sheep> brandon-: Won't hurt to try. :)
[04:45] <Darkseid> overall, 3D, disk, etc?
[04:45] <iflema> hsafir thats a good thing
[04:45] <Dashkal> Is there a way to ensure that a wireless connection is automatically activated, even before a user logs in?
[04:45] <RxDx> Darkseid, linux is running slower than windows
[04:45] <sargento> DasEi, yeap, sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup is a bash command but need configuration and my mom is not good enough doing that yet, so I need the solution to be "transparent" to her.
[04:45] <RxDx> the graphic card
[04:45] <hsafir> iflema, as far as running 8.04, that is because dell manages my updates, and i didnt want to cause trouble by moving to nonlts
[04:46] <Darkseid> well thats not good
[04:46] <pdg1> hattoricaca, well I think I've already got lighttpd and php5 so instead of using wtorrent which supposedly needs sqlite aswell I'm going to use rutorrent which only uses php. but not before I make a grilled cheese sandwhich! :D
[04:46] <brandon-> kinja seems to be working pretty good
[04:46] <Darkseid> so are you talkinh about overall performance or graphics performance?
[04:46] <kinja-sheep> brandon-: Great. You could use Gnome panel on top and XFCE panel on bottom then. I don't know why I didn't thought of that yesterday. :o
[04:46] <hattoricaca> user123: i'm not very familiar with grub2 either, i'm used to grub1. run the gsku gedit /etc/default/grub again to check if all is in order
[04:47] <Darkseid> give me some examples of slow
[04:47] <freaky[t]> !ide
[04:47] <Darkseid> it would be helpful
[04:47] <hattoricaca> pdg1: too bad i can't dl some of those from your website :( i'm starving here
[04:47] <iceache> Hey, having some issues with Display Preferences
[04:47] <hsafir> iflema, any idea?
[04:48] <hackel> Is anyone else having trouble with OpenOffice.org *not* using the system menu font (in GNOME) when it is set to?
[04:48] <DasEi> sargento: then edit /etc/default/console-setup  (for karmic)
[04:48] <brishu> hi, i cannot seem to be able to access computers on my network that use windows, i have samba set up and i checked to make sure that the workgroup is the same ...
[04:49] <user123> hattoricaca, Yeah, I already did this but everything seems to be fine
[04:49] <DasEi> sargento: why don't you just ssh in ond do the maintenance then ?
[04:49] <iceache> Yesterday before going to bed, I shut my second display off in Display Preferences with the radio button, and then clicked apply.. screen shut off. Now, When I try to click the on radio button, and click apply, it says the settings couldnt be applied
[04:49] <iceache> If I try it again, my main screen will go black and i'll have to reboot
[04:49] <kinja-sheep> hackel: Don't worry about the fonts. Just do your homework. :P
[04:49] <sargento> DasEi, I don't know what is ond
[04:49] <Darkseid> RxDx can you give me some examples of slowness?
[04:50] <hackel> kinja-sheep:  Hard to do when you can barely read the menus.
[04:50] <DasEi> sargento: so another good reason for ssh, I assume she's wiredd
[04:50] <hattoricaca> user123: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 says the menu won't show unless GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is commented with a # character at the beginning of the line
[04:50] <DasEi> wired*
[04:50] <DasEi> user123:press shift once grubs loads
[04:51] <kinja-sheep> hackel: canthus13: I was just thinking that. :>
[04:51] <kinja-sheep> hackel: Err. I mean this. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Openoffice#Font_substitution
[04:51] <canthus13> kinja-sheep: Eh?
[04:51] <Darkseid> ok so much for the slowness thing
[04:52] <hsafir> audio randomly started and started again....
[04:52] <kinja-sheep> canthus13: XChat copies random mouse highlights
[04:52] <tonsofpcs> how long does mkfs.ext3 usually take on a 1 TB partition?
[04:52] <canthus13> kinja-sheep: Heh.
[04:52] <Darkseid> he either fell asleep or his PC is so slow he out typed the buffer
[04:52] <kinja-sheep> canthus13: And yes, I was just thinking that. :3
[04:53] <kinja-sheep> hackel: Let me know how it goes for you.
[04:53] <iflema> hsafir no idea... did you say you have tried @ the ubuntu forums/wiki.. keep asking here
[04:53] <Darkseid> tonsofpcs not too long usually lomg enough to finish
[04:53] <Darkseid> doh!
[04:53] <hsafir> yeah
[04:53] <hsafir> i think maybe its a hardware problem
[04:53] <edu> hola
[04:53] <sargento> DasEi, I'm using Karmic, but every time I started up my PC I have to remove English layout to use Spanish. I do this everytime I start up and become frustrating. I need to find a command line to remove English layout when I start up my PC. in console-setup I couldn't find any clue on it.
[04:54] <hsafir> tends to happen more when the computer is moved
[04:54] <iflema> hsafir u may be onto something..... external amp.. or built in speakers
[04:54] <delfick1> hi. How would I determine if my swap space is encrypted ?? (Hibernation won't resume and I'm wondering if that's why )
[04:55] <tonsofpcs> try reading it?
[04:55] <hsafir> yeah... when i close the lid three quarters there are no problems
[04:55] <iflema> lol
[04:55] <DasEi> sargento: thats a differnt story; system > settings > console
[04:55] <Flare-Laptop> !lol | iflema
[04:55] <hackel> kinja-sheep:  I don't need to substitute any fonts.  I just need it to use the right DPI value for my display.
[04:57] <tonsofpcs> zomg !lol urself :-p [ok, I'm back now]
[04:57] <hattoricaca> i tought that "lol" was an IRC expression
[04:57] <Spirits-Sight> how do you install sync for windows ce devices?
[04:57] <iflema> hsafir gently shake... does it drop in and out with physical stymuli?
[04:57] <Darkseid> thats when IRC was cool and not a geek thing
[04:58] <Darkseid> now it is reserved to those who dont use AIM or Facebook
[04:58] <hattoricaca> lol
[04:58] <hattoricaca> (sorry)
[04:58] <DasEi> sargento: ah, you share the same pc with your mother and want an  easy to use switching ? I got you so she's remote, needs that change
[04:58] <hsafir> iflema, only when i open the lid all the way, then the subtle movements make the lid close just enough to turn it on and open just enough to mute
[04:59] <phil> a;ldkfjd;kl;j;sdlkf
[04:59] <Darkseid> your keyboard works
[04:59] <phil> yea
[05:00] <hsafir> lol, the problem, is basically solved.  cant open the screen all the way... if it gets worse i'll have to get the wiring repaired
[05:00] <Darkseid> see that
[05:00] <tonsofpcs> hattoricaca: nah, aol chat
[05:00] <tonsofpcs> around '94ish
[05:00] <sargento> DasEi, Nop, we use the same computer, I can easily switch my keyboard layout but she's not good enough to do that. I need a single command line to add or remove English layout, one command to look for will be excellent.
[05:00] <Darkseid> this whole time you thought it was Ubuntu and it turned out to be the hardware
[05:00] <hsafir> i was so upset this was my first "ubuntu" issue in a year of having an ubuntu netbook from dell
[05:00] <Darkseid> remember the only time you blame the OS is when it is Windows
[05:00] <hsafir> and it is hardware :(
[05:00] <iflema> i feel like rebelling now....
[05:01] <kinja-sheep> Does anybody know the name of "Sans" fonts and the font path? I can't find anything in /usr/share/fonts
[05:01] <hattoricaca> tonsofpcs: (and i know i'll get the OT stuff) i can recall reading it on bbs chats (what an old man i am)
[05:01] <Darkseid> #list
[05:01] <DasEi> sargento: well, the gui is really easy.. you could have two files in /etc/default, then use a mv command to set the actual desired one; seems more complicated to me
[05:01] <trevor> i made some links to folders in my Home directory onto my desktop...is there a way to get the red arrow off the icon?
[05:01] <hsafir> i can still recommend ubuntu as a system i dont have problems with...
[05:01] <tonsofpcs> hattoricaca: as can I, after it appeared in aol chats
[05:01] <icedtea> two things in ubuntu, how do you change the pc name graphically (besides editting /etc/hostname) and how do you change the accerlation of the mouse wheel
[05:02] <tonsofpcs> i'm not saying it wasn't pervasive, just saying that's wehre i saw it start
[05:02] <kinja-sheep> !hostname | icedtea
[05:02] <tonsofpcs> i'd bet it actually was a compuserv move-over too
[05:02] <hattoricaca> *tips hat*
[05:02] <kinja-sheep> icedtea: This is one way but it sure is not graphical.
[05:02] <tonsofpcs> or maybe... prodigy....
[05:02] <tonsofpcs> idk, only had prodigy for a month or so, compuserv for a week, before those it was spry net, after those it was aol...
[05:03] <tonsofpcs> mind you, i'm a kid ;)
[05:03] <icedtea> I seem to be missing the "networking" admin tool where you can change the pc name
[05:03] <sargento> DasEi, maybe I cannot make myself clear, sorry about that. Do you know any command I could use to manipulate keyboard layouts only with parameters and not with the need to configure it graphically?
[05:03] <GentooJay> /etc/hostname i think for unbuntu icedtea
[05:03] <GentooJay> or /etc/conf.d/hostname
[05:03] <Darkedge> My brother is trying to get Freedoom to work, It seems to randomly exit, I got some Terminal output: "Exiting on signal 8" Can someone tell me what "Signal 8" IS?
[05:03] <punto> ok, nevermind, I patched the broken update script
[05:03] <kinja-sheep> icedtea: Graphical? "gksudo gedit /etc/hostname /etc/hosts" :(
[05:04] <GentooJay> icedtea: "sudo vi /etc/hostname"
[05:05] <cobra679> does anyone knwo what the backtrack channel is called
[05:05] <tonsofpcs> hrm... just added a new internal hdd, how can i add it to fstab based on fs id like the existing mounts?
[05:05] <kinja-sheep> cobra679: #remote-exploits
[05:05] <tonsofpcs> bt3, i think
[05:05] <blueberryoam_> elky: Hey this guy called new
[05:05] <DasEi> sargento: keyboard is controlled by conf-files. of course you can either  use different ones from trml - or even worse, alter them with commands
[05:05] <kinja-sheep> cobra679: No s at end.
[05:05] <Hilikus> can i disable password access to a specific account in ssh so that it only take key authentications but without disabling passwords completely? i want to still use passwords for other accounts
[05:05] <blueberryoam_> elky: 2Ubuntu says u banned him
[05:05] <lgc> Hi. I'm having trouble with my touchpad and the touchpad preferences app doing not much to help. I would appreciate your feedback.
[05:05] <Darkseid> known bug when using prboom
[05:06] <elky> blueberryoam_, that would be because he was breaking the channel rules. the ones linked in the /topic.
[05:06] <cobra679> thanks kinja-sheep
[05:06] <daqkho> daqkho
[05:06] <Darkseid> gentoo vi?
[05:06] <DasEi> Hilikus: yes
[05:06] <Darkseid> omg you like punishing people dont ya?
[05:06] <GentooJay> hm?
[05:07] <bullgard> My IBM Thinkpad T42 does not wake up (thaw) from hibernation. It reports: "Waking up. Please wait...". The Caps lock indicator keeps blinking. This is so only since I installed Ubuntu 9.10 from the Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Editon CD keeping my old ~/home. Against what DEB program package do I have to report this bug in Launchpad?
[05:07] <Darkseid> pico is your friend
[05:07] <GentooJay> oh.. its like second nature to me
[05:07] <cobra679> is Xfce part of ubuntu ?
[05:07] <Flannel> Darkseid: it's nano, actually.  But yes
[05:07] <blueberryoam_> elky: Enlish isn't his first language
[05:07] <sargento> Thanks DasEi, I suppose there is not safe way to do what I planned.
[05:07] <DasEi> Hilikus: /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[05:07] <kinja-sheep> cobra679: XFCE is a Desktop Environment, like Gnome or KDE.
[05:07] <GentooJay> When I started working at the place I work now, I was using nano, and got made fun of so bad, switched to vi immediately
[05:08] <Hilikus> cool thanks DasEi
[05:08] <Darkseid> vi is evil
[05:08] <Darkseid> see
[05:08] <cobra679> I just downloaded it kinja-sheep its looking pretty nice
[05:08] <johnd> I like vi
[05:08] <johnd> I don't really know how to use it
[05:08] <johnd> I know how to quit
[05:08] <johnd> and how to do basic editing
[05:08] <johnd> but it works
[05:08] <Darkseid> vi is E"vi"l
[05:08] <trevor> anyone know how ot remove the red arrows from the links of folders you create on a desktop?
[05:08] <GentooJay> vi is AWESOME once you can use it without thinking
[05:08] <elky> blueberryoam_, get him to read the rules linked in the /topic here. he'll learn what to do then.
[05:08] <kinja-sheep> Darkseid: vi is useful for programmings. You want nano, I think.
[05:08] <johnd> and it is everywhere
 give it a shot for a while, its very useful
[05:09] <DasEi> sargento: easiest appraoch would be two files in ../default, like span and en , then can do : sudo mv span console-setup ( in that dir or with path)
[05:10] <Darkseid> I have used vi for too long
[05:10] <SeaPhor> Darkseid, just do sudo apt-get install joe  joe is an editor that will display all the control keys with CTRL+k h (help)
[05:10] <Darkseid> and just found that nano/pico to be way easier
[05:11] <sargento> DasEi, Thanks, I sleep on it.
[05:11] <sargento> DasEi, Good Night.
[05:11] <johnd> anyone know if pspad works with wine?
[05:11] <DasEi> np, too late here (6 am)
[05:12] <DasEi> johnd: what is pspad ?
[05:12] <SeaPhor> johnd, look on #winehq or winehq.com
[05:12] <vasan> while booting My /home partition is not mounted it gives some errors.... why?
[05:12] <sargento> DasEi, sorry, LOL, I'm in Mexico. Bye.
[05:12] <DasEi> np
[05:12] <johnd> just a windows editor
[05:12] <iflema> bullguard confirm swap is larger that physical ram
[05:12] <johnd> gui
[05:12] <NDNWebmaster> hello everyone
[05:12] <Darkseid> vasan first thing I would check is the fstab to make sure it is correct
[05:13] <Darkseid> well
[05:13] <Darkseid> time for bed.. wife inbound
[05:13] <DasEi> johnd : check wine-db for it , see :
[05:13] <DasEi> !wine
[05:13] <Darkseid> good night folks
[05:13] <infid> is there a way to make it so you dont have to enter your sudo password and is it safe as long as you only do that while on a LAN?
[05:13] <DasEi> !AppDB > johnd
[05:13] <onetinsoldier> infid: try --> sudo -i
[05:13] <don-i> hey
[05:13] <vasan> it says run fsck... if i run it gives some errors.... can  i paste the log messages
[05:13] <infid> onetinsoldier: that's not what i want though
[05:13] <chipgeri> if i rename /etc to some other name where else i need to edit so that system boots properly?
[05:14] <don-i> is there a way to set a usb device to only work under one ttyacm ?
[05:14] <onetinsoldier> infid: oh, sorry m8
[05:14] <infid> onetinsoldier:  i want to type 'sudo foo' without entering a password, ever
 I probably wouldnt do that
[05:14] <onetinsoldier> infid: i see
[05:14] <maco> chipgeri: bad idea
[05:14] <jbs> hey
[05:14] <_ged> hi, i have a problem regarding my flash drive, when I'm using my flash on my pc, the flash drive has been detected and when it automatically opens, it says that I do not have the permission to open that, I've checked the previleges of my account but I still got the same error, I have tried to use this on other computer and I dont get that kind of error.
[05:14] <SeaPhor> !paste | vasan
[05:14] <DasEi> infid: few questions in one .. 1) sudo itself lasts for 15 min per deault ..
[05:14] <NDNWebmaster> amazing how quiet the ubuntu server room is
[05:15] <NDNWebmaster> anyone in here running an ubuntu web server by chance?
 what is the format of the flash drive..
[05:15] <DasEi> infid: on a halfaway secured machine, you can be root, other LAN users will have no access
 kinda sorta, whats up?
[05:15] <vasan> Pls check this link http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4cb578c1
[05:15] <don-i> i had a device communicate with ttyacm0, but after i reconnected it, it no longer connects to that acm0 (i dont even kno what acm is :| )
[05:15] <Spirits-Sight> Anyone know how to get wince device to show up in ubuntu in a easy and fast method?
 i know its a bad idea..i wanted to know which file ll have hese booting sequence entries..
 well this is my first web server at home for a site im gonna try to run...just lookin for a little advice/help maybe
[05:16] <maco> chipgeri: um, that's /etc's job
[05:16] <DasEi> infid: you can also work as root, but only if you know what you are doing
[05:16] <iflema> bullguard https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bugsquad/2009-November/001641.html
[05:16] <maco> chipgeri: and "look in /etc for your files" is something that's generally compiled into the programs
 sure thing, ask away :)
[05:16] <maco> chipgeri: so i guess if you were to recompile everything, editing all the compile-time paths....
[05:17] <maco> chipgeri: basically, if you have to ask...you shouldn't do it
[05:17] <tonsofpcs> so currently running Interpid Ibex... can I distup straight to Karmic or should i stairstep?
[05:17] <vasan> Seaphor: Did u check ??
[05:17] <NDNWebmaster> ok sofar i have gotten this far...i have installed server/ ran update and upgrade and installed dnsutils
[05:17] <onetinsoldier> tonsofpcs: stairstep
[05:17] <DasEi> tonsofpcs: stair or fresh
[05:17] <tonsofpcs> k
[05:17] <onetinsoldier> fresh is best
[05:17] <NDNWebmaster> im not sure if i should host my own dns or depend on a service like DynDNS.org to do it for me
 ok, so you have apache installed then?
[05:17] <tonsofpcs> yea, can't fresh this box
[05:17] <onetinsoldier> roger
[05:17] <DasEi> tonsofpcs: fresh will befaster, though selections  /data might get lost
[05:17] <tonsofpcs> i'm taking it down for a day, that's more than i should be
[05:18] <NDNWebmaster> yes during install i installed apache2/openSSh/DNS/LAMP
[05:18] <tonsofpcs> fresh is only faster if i want to lose everything
[05:18] <NDNWebmaster> oh and samba as well
[05:18] <DasEi> tonsofpcs: you could backup /home
 I would have dyndns do it personally thats what I do, less traffic..
[05:18] <SeaPhor> vasan, what cmd did you use to get that?
[05:18] <tonsofpcs> DasEi: /home isn't everything.
 i renamed etc to etc1 and rebooted...now how to rename it back to etc? any option in grub to edit?
[05:19] <bullgard> What is the name of the package that installs Ubuntu 9.10 from the Desktop Edition?
[05:19] <_ged> GentooJay: the filesystem type is msdos
[05:19] <DasEi> tonsofpcs: selections, yes, but can get a paket list
[05:19] <maco> chipgeri: grub isnt an OS, so grub cant do that. you're going to need to boot off of a live cd to recover
[05:19] <NDNWebmaster> yeah i was thinking dyndns being my first server
[05:19] <princezuda> I'm having trouble getting a wacom tablet to work with ubuntu would this be the right place to ask for help or am I going to get told I'm off topic?
[05:19] <vasan> SeaPhor:  when i run fsck command ... i got this error
 ok? fat32? ntfs?
[05:19] <htid64> fsckyou
[05:19] <vasan> SeaPhor: fsck /dev/sda6
[05:19] <NDNWebmaster> so essentially what would be my next step GentooJay?
 cant it be done without live cd? i dont have live cd
[05:20] <talented> princezuda, what connection interface is your wacom tablet?
[05:20] <SeaPhor> then do fsck --help and look for fix,,,, prolly -f
[05:20] <maco> chipgeri: do you have an alternate cd you can boot from, then?
[05:20] <kinja-sheep> bullgard: ubuntu-desktop ?
 I would just setup a dns server if you were going to have like a bunch of vhosts or something
[05:20] <maco> chipgeri: you're going to need to boot from something capable of mounting linux filesystems
[05:20] <maco> chipgeri: because no way that system is booting til you fix it
[05:20] <princezuda> talented: my connection interface is USB.
[05:20] <NDNWebmaster> im only planning on running 1 site from this box...maybe 2 eventually but until i get use to maintaining my own server just the 1
 I know there is a DynDNS client for Debian, i'm sure there is one for ubuntu
[05:21] <SeaPhor> also vasan do this for ease...   sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[05:21] <RxDx> i just installed ubuntu 9.10 on my notebook, but the graphic performance is worst than windows.... i have an intel gma 965 (x3100)
[05:21] <talented> princezuda, when you plug it in what does "dmesg | tail" output?
[05:21] <NDNWebmaster> samba seems to be working..i can see my server on my win7 laptop
 sign up for an account, and then if you buy a .com you can just forward your domain to the dyndns account
[05:21] <bullgard> kinja-sheep: I don't think so.
[05:21] <NDNWebmaster> yeah i already have the domain
[05:21] <ABoba> RxDx, turn off the effects...
[05:21] <vasan> seaphor:  Did u check my Log messages???
[05:22] <princezuda> talented: I don't know that command I ran more on it but it is as if it doesn't even exist to ubuntu.
[05:22] <kinja-sheep> bullgard: What is it that you are looking for? ubuntu-desktop is the metapackage that will install all packages to make up a complete Ubuntu 9.10 desktop.
[05:22] <DasEi> NDNWebmaster: ianadyn did fine for me
[05:22] <SeaPhor> vasan,  then do fsck --help and look for fix,,,, prolly -f
[05:22] <NDNWebmaster> thanks Das
[05:22] <talented> just do dmesg then?
[05:22] <RxDx> ABoba, i did it.. performance is slower than on windows...
[05:22] <harish> file operation to  usb is very slow
"you can try to add "root=foobar" to grub options line at boottime. it should throw you into a initranfs-shell" this was suggested by somebody...
[05:22] <DasEi> NDNWebmaster: inadyn it is
[05:23] <ABoba> RxDx if it's slower than windows, you're doing something wrong
[05:23] <gerax> ola
[05:23] <princezuda> Ubuntu is wayyy faster than windows!!
[05:23] <vasan> Seaphor: I have installed pastebinit package
 Well, samba usually has netbios functionality build into it
[05:23] <gerax> tengo una duda
[05:23] <RxDx> ABoba, is there anyone to open the graphic card configuration screen?
[05:23] <DasEi> NDNWebmaster: if you want alternatives : apt-cache search dyndns
[05:23] <gerax> elguien en español
[05:23] <DasEi> !es
[05:23] <ABoba> RxDx not like windows no
[05:24] <SeaPhor> did you do fsck -f /dev/sdax ?
[05:24] <RxDx> princezuda, ubuntu is faster.. but the graphic elements is slower
[05:24] <princezuda> gerax: uno momento
[05:24] <ABoba> RxDx: there is if you have an Nvidia card, but not for integrated intel
[05:24] <SeaPhor> did you do fsck -f /dev/sdax ? vasan
[05:24] <RxDx> ABoba, u mean.. the only way is editing xorg.conf?
[05:24] <ABoba> RxDx: Are you sure you have compiz effects turned off?
[05:24] <vasan> SeaPhor: ok now i run
[05:24] <ABoba> RxDx: there is a way to change resolution through a gui
[05:24] <RxDx> ABoba, some of them is on...
[05:24] <NDNWebmaster> ok so I have my DynDNS account setup
[05:24] <kinja-sheep> RxDx: Do you have xserver-xorg-video-intel installed?
[05:24] <ABoba> RxDx: that's your problem, Compiz is like Vista, you need good hardware
[05:25] <RxDx> kinja-sheep, let me check
[05:25] <gerax> aqui es donde se va a dar seguimiento al dia del usuario de ubuntu??
[05:25] <GentooJay> there is a DynDNS client, I used one for debian, theres gotta be one for ubuntu
[05:25] <ABoba> RxDx: and by good hardware I mean a non-generic intel graphics chipset
[05:25] <talented> princezuda, have you installed wacom-tools & xserver-xorg-input-wacom?
[05:25] <NDNWebmaster> so where should i search for that? on the dyndns site?
[05:25] <GentooJay> its super easy you just load your account/password and updates the IP for you
[05:26] <GentooJay> apt should have it
[05:26] <genii> !es | gerax
[05:26] <soreau> ABoba: Wrong, compiz run on far less
[05:26] <NDNWebmaster> so apt search dyndns?
[05:26] <GentooJay> yeah
[05:26] <princezuda> gerax: Sé un poco español
[05:26] <DasEi> NDNWebmaster: apt-cache search <whatever>
[05:26] <ABoba> soreau: Far less than an intel card? or far less than vista (which is correct)
[05:27] <DasEi> NDNWebmaster: apt-cache show for more details
[05:27] <ABoba> soreau: I was just making it simple for him
[05:27] <DasEi> NDNWebmaster: apt-cache show inadyn
[05:27] <princezuda> talented: No I haven't installed anything yet since the guide says you should make the changes to your kernel first.
[05:27] <soreau> ABoba: Doesn't matter. The fact remains true
[05:27] <NDNWebmaster> yeah there is one for dyndns called ipcheck
[05:27] <talented> what version of ubuntu you using?
[05:27] <soreau> ABoba: You're misleading him
[05:27] <GentooJay> NDNWebmaster hmm I just searched on ubuntu's website and I dont see it
[05:28] <Awesome3000> I have a problem,  My sound keeps reseting to zero
[05:28] <princezuda> the latest version.
[05:28] <ABoba> soreau: I've got an integrated Nvidia chipset and I still run with compiz off... just to make things easier
[05:28] <princezuda> .17.0 I believe.
[05:28] <RxDx> Awesome3000, r u on a notebook?
[05:28] <princezuda> I forget the first number.
[05:28] <soreau> ABoba: That's because nvidia sucks
[05:28] <GentooJay> NDNWebmaster http://packages.debian.org/lenny/ddclient this is what I used for a while
[05:28] <ABoba> soreau: I'm helping him solve his problem, not teaching him how linux functions with regards to graphics
[05:28] <Awesome3000> RxDx  No a desktop
[05:28] <RxDx> my notebook sound light is bugged
[05:28] <RxDx> sometimes it turns down
[05:29] <ABoba> soreau: So ati is the only way to go then?
[05:29] <princezuda> talented: I think the newest version is 10.3.17.0 isn't it?
[05:29] <ae86-drifter1> c
[05:29] <RxDx> them it lights up again
[05:29] <NDNWebmaster> bahaha i typed in ipcheck just to see what would happen and it gave me a huge listing of stuff
[05:29] <javatexan>  I have a question about the preferred applications...is there a way to make the thunderbird I compiled the mail reader in gnome without using the Custom Settings?  It seems if I install thunderbird, I get thunderbird as an option.  Can I make a ln somewhere so that Preferred Applications will see it and add Thunderbird as a straightup option?
[05:29] <soreau> ABoba: ATI is a great investment for linux graphics, yes
[05:29] <NDNWebmaster> is it totally taboo to run a gui?
[05:29] <osmosis> why does my whole computer run slow when a process is accessing my usb hd in the background?
[05:29] <talented> I'm only using Karmic 9.10 at the moment
[05:29] <don-i> anyone know if its possible to fix a usb device to a specific ttyacm ?
[05:29] <bullgard> kinja-sheep: I have now found out the proper answer: It is "linux".  --  Thank you.
[05:29] <talented> but no kernel changes are required, just install those packages, then in certain programs you'll need to configure extended input devices
 I don't want to come off at elitest, but yes kind of
[05:30] <don-i> i have something on ttyacm0 that i want it to always be on ttyacm0
[05:30] <ABoba> soreau: I've got no problems running games on my Nvidia graphics card in Linux
 you want to be able to manage like 100% of it via ssh
[05:30] <kinja-sheep> bullgard: o.O  (What was the question?)
[05:30] <vasan> SeaPhor: I got the same error msg
[05:30] <NDNWebmaster> and i am guessing with a gui it throws ssh out of the mix?
[05:31] <GentooJay> ssh will give you remote access to the terminal
[05:31] <princezuda> talented: honest to goodness I'm a newbie with ubuntu. I only use it for dev. reasons but I really need my wacom pad. DO you reccomend I download those files you mentioned first?
[05:31] <talented> princezuda, yes
[05:31] <talented> then restart, and then plug it in
[05:31] <GentooJay> so if you plan on doing remote administration, gui is out of the question, unless you setup something like vnc wich can be very unsecure
[05:31] <bullgard> iflema: Indeed: swap is much larger than physical RAM. I did partition  this computer so.
[05:31] <talented> then open up something like gimp and configure the extended input devices
[05:32] <kinja-sheep> princezuda: In Windows, you download programs.  In linux, we download packages.
 use this: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/ddclient
[05:32] <kinja-sheep> !away > ripps|sleep
[05:32] <GentooJay> I think it uses ncurses which is almost a gui
[05:32] <bullgard> iflema: Thank you for pointing me to the proper bug report which already exists.
[05:33] <princezuda> kinja-sheep: Okay sorry for the wrong terminology.
[05:33] <talented> princezuda, just a simple sudo aptitude install ... and those package names should do
[05:33] <princezuda> talented: Okay will do.
[05:33] <talented> if you don't know them, just sudo aptitude search wacom and it should show only 2 packages
[05:33] <NDNWebmaster> ok reading through that now
[05:33] <DasEi> GentooJay: ssh way to go, though can fw X (gui)
[05:33] <kinja-sheep> princezuda: Oh it is fine. I only wanted to point it out that it is the way to install *anything* we need. Be it a firefox or DVD-ripping or wacom tools. :)
[05:34] <NDNWebmaster> for the most part i will be managing everything at home so im not sure if i will need SSH
 SSH is the best, any sort of remote desktop is going to slow you down like crazy and put uneeded strain on the server
 aw, but you then can't remote into it from wherever you are and screw around with it
[05:35] <DasEi> GentooJay: right, and webmin isn't supported no more
[05:35] <talented> Secure connections put a bit of strain on you too
 I spend a lot of time screwing with my home server at work ;)
[05:35] <NDNWebmaster> hehe
[05:35] <NDNWebmaster> yeah i may do that as well
[05:36] <NDNWebmaster> so since i installed SSH it should just work? or is there more config to it than that?
[05:36] <GentooJay> Personally, I wouldn't run X on it if you don't have to
[05:36] <Husskii> hi guys I was hoping I could get some help regarding file permissions, I appoligise for the inconviniance as it should be an easy one, but Im still a novice user and am learning my way around linux day by day. I have done exctensive reaserch before comming here and I seem to be missing somthing, because I just cant get it to work. I installed a ubuntu 8.04 Hardy LAMP via proxmox with the hope of running joomla but installing via proxmox it only gave me roo
 dunno the config file is pretty straight forward, /etc/ssh/ssh_config
[05:37] <vasan> When i ran fsck  i got the following errors... pls check in http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4cb578c1
 and of course you need to start it sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start
[05:37] <DasEi> NDNWebmaster: if you go ahead with a project like that, got to read some more and ask if got stuck, no one will be willing to take you all the way;; have a look in the given topic, read harden linux, ssh is /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[05:38] <user123> anyone knows how can I format a usb external memory in NTFS format?
 I applaud you though, setting up a server is by far the best way to really learn linux IMO
[05:38] <Darkedge> Could someone tell me where I would start in writting a script to force quit the currently selected Window upon a certain key press? (ALT+F4)
[05:39] <Awesome3000> user123  what do you mean by  'usb external memory' ?
 just kill -9 the pid
[05:39] <user123> Awesome3000, usb flashdrive
[05:39] <disappearedng> Anyone familiar with difference between SOAP + WSDL ??
[05:39] <NDNWebmaster> thanks Gentoo
[05:39] <Awesome3000> user123  So starage not memory
[05:39] <kinja-sheep> Darkedge: xkill (is easy and is great. no script).
[05:39] <Darkedge> kinja-sheep: xkill?
[05:40] <kinja-sheep> Darkedge: Open a terminal. "xkill" -- Select the window you want to kill.
[05:40] <NDNWebmaster> im a web developer by trade and normally we have everything remote hosted...but im doing this on my own to learn more
[05:40] <user123> Awesome3000, ok, how can I format it to NTFS?
[05:40] <Darkedge> kinja-sheep: oh, No I want it for a keypress
[05:40] <Darkedge> GentooJay: yeah, but I want it on a keypress, not a Terminal.
[05:40] <Darkedge> :P
[05:41] <Awesome3000> user123  Why do you want it formated as NTFS
 I setup a Debian Web Server a long time ago, and there was no turning back from there, loved it eversince, now I'm an admin a webhosting company
[05:41] <kinja-sheep> Darkedge: Install compizconfig-settings-manager -- It have the option to remap the keyboard actions to the scripts.
[05:41] <user123> Awesome3000, I need this format to store files greater than 4gbs
[05:41] <kinja-sheep> Darkedge: Of course, make the script first.
[05:42] <gerax> hi!!
[05:42] <Darkedge> kinja-sheep: haha my computers horrible with Compiz
[05:43] <SeaPhor> vasan, 1 sec...
[05:43] <user123> Anyone knows how can I format an external usb flashdrive to NTFS format?
[05:43] <princezuda> talented: GAH I did the tail command and I get back a lot of foriegn info to me. I don't see the words wacom anywhere.
[05:43] <DasEi> user123: use gparte
[05:43] <DasEi> d*
[05:44] <vasan> SeaPhor: ok
[05:44] <DasEi> princezuda: add |grep wacom   to that tail cmd
[05:44] <SeaPhor> vasan, can you do  sudo pastebinit /etc/fstab  ?
 honestly, use windows
[05:44] <Awesome3000> user123  Ubuntu can format it as ext3
[05:45] <Darkedge> kinja-sheep: =/ I can't think of where I would START with a script, any ideas?
[05:45] <DasEi> princezuda: like tail blah | grep wacom
[05:45] <Awesome3000> sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/your pen drive
[05:45] <vasan> SeaPhor: i did
[05:45] <kinja-sheep> Darkedge: Meh? Start it in gedit. :o
[05:45] <xangua> user123: have you tried 'gnome-format'¿¿ i think you can also do it eith gparted
[05:45] <vasan> SeaPhor: http://pastebin.com/f4563c2bc
[05:45] <user123> Awesome3000, that is not what I asked
[05:45] <princezuda> Dasei: Okay I'm trying that.
[05:46] <DasEi> parted,gparted, mkfs, gnome.format..
[05:46] <vasan> SeaPhor: i am using VirtualBox also
[05:46] <iflema> user123 install ntfs progs and use mkfs.ntfs if you must format it ntfs... recommend yaformat vfat to do this use mkdosfs
[05:46] <GentooJay> Hes trying to format his drive to NTFS..
 honestly man, if you can use winodws just do that
 to format a drive to ntfs.. really not the most open file system in the world
[05:46] <DasEi> GentooJay: ;-)heh, get a copy ow win7 for that, hehe
[05:47] <kinja-sheep> Darkedge: http://www.linuxcommand.org/writing_shell_scripts.php
 Psh, I'm currrently on my Windows ME box, its super awesome best OS ever
[05:48] <SeaPhor> vasan, is any part of this partition on the VirtualBox ?
[05:48] <sthames> ok where do i go to ask about a problem i am having
[05:48] <Awesome3000> user123  You can use Gparted http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
[05:48] <DasEi> GentooJay: we become ot; best os for hosting, nor ??
[05:48] <Husskii> can anyone help me set var/www directry to wrx permissions for a user?
[05:48] <vasan> virtualbox files are stored in /home only
 I'm sorry what?
[05:48] <technocp> i have created a dns server on ubuntu machine it resolves perfectly from internal network even the nslookup for ms record works perfectly but i am not having the static wan ip so i use dydns can anyone explain portforwarding in my broadband router
[05:48] <teknorunner> I upgraded to 9.10 but my sound isn't working. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[05:49] <SeaPhor> vasan, i have had bad luck with VirtualBox,,, i use VMware...
[05:49] <DasEi> !ot > GentooJay , nvm :)
[05:49] <Darkedge> kinja-sheep: haha sorry im just really confused, I know how to do it XD
[05:49] <vasan> SeaPhor: Whats the reason for these msgs??
[05:50] <marshall> hi
 My bad, heh
[05:50] <Awesome3000> !hi | Hi Marshall
[05:50] <DasEi> GentooJay: just join there, so we can chit  chat
[05:50] <frybye> hi - how do I burn a (linux-) iso with nero essentials 9 - can't find the menu for burning iso's - was no problem with nero7 but cant find now?
 where to?
[05:51] <DasEi> GentooJay: /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:51] <undecim> frybye: Look for an option mentioning a cd "image"
 I'm there in 2 shakes
[05:51] <kinja-sheep> frybye: That is why we use linux because we're sick of the people's tendency to swap everything around to throw people off. :\
[05:51] <DasEi> frybye: it certainly does; use free gnomebaker
[05:51] <marshall> i've created a folder at /var/svn, and a group called 'devs' and added myself to it. I've changed the group for /var/svn to 'devs' and added write privileges to group on /var/svn. for some reason it says that i dont have permission to create folders in there. any idea why?
[05:52] <hackel> Is it possible to configure xorg video drivers through hal?
[05:52] <ceW_cr> cew sayang
[05:52] <sthames> when i shutdown my computer freezes then [ 666.696302] ipw2200: Failed to send CARD_DISABLE: command timed out. [666.697002] System halted
[05:52] <abadabad00> how do I uninstall a deb package? I can't figure out where it was installed, what it's command is and what it does... I have the deb file... just want to uninstall what I just installed
[05:52] <GentooJay> apt-get remove (packagename)
[05:52] <kinja-sheep> frybye: Look up "imgburn" -- It is simple and great!
[05:52] <SeaPhor> vasan, if it was on all partitions, and VirtualBox wasn't involved, i'd say there is either a hardware failure or compatibility,, but thats not the case here, its not able to read your filesystem on /home (sda6) properly, and the only thing i can foint at is the VirtualBox stuff..
[05:52] <marshall> abadabad00: sudo apt-get remove <package name>
[05:52] <frybye> undecim: shure - that is what I have spent 20 mins looking for - re: use this or that - I dont have a linux system installed just now...
[05:53] <princezuda> talented: I did the aptitude install and have tried several different tail attempts but all fail except for tail /usr/etc/log/messages
[05:53] <bleepbloop> okay, I just installed Debian Lenny on this other computer, and when it booted up, it said the graphical interface wasn't set up right, so it just took me to the command line based main part (i dont remember the technical name)
[05:53] <SeaPhor> *point
[05:53] <undecim> frybye: Can you right-click on the image to open it with nero?
[05:53] <bleepbloop> how should I shut it down and/or setup the graphic interface right
[05:53] <Flannel> bleepbloop: try #debian
[05:53] <frybye> undecim: oh - that is an idea - i will check...
[05:53] <abadabad00> marshall - didn't work
[05:53] <atom_fox> ANYONE HERE KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THE FREEZING OF UBUNTU 9.10
[05:54] <abadabad00> marshall - I did sudo apt-get remove <name of deb file>
[05:54] <bleepbloop> Flannel: thanks! haha I dont know why it didnt occur to me to look for a debian room
[05:54] <vasan> SeaPhor: This error msg was received second time... Firsttime i had received this msg... i change the hard disk... again same eror msg
[05:54] <ShazbotMcNasty> atom_fox, DID YOU INSTALL THE VIDEO DRIVERS?
[05:54] <marshall> abadabad00: ok, if its a deb file, you should be able to use synaptic to remove it
[05:54] <ceW_cr> cew sayang
[05:54] <iflema> atom_fox have you tested your physical ram?
[05:54] <princezuda> atom_fox: Are you using ubuntu 9.10 wubi or the real stuff? I used wubi 9.10 and it crashed and burned you need the real stuff.
[05:54] <abadabad00> marshall - like i said... I don't know the package name. I also can't find it in synaptec package manager
[05:54] <atom_fox> IT'S REALLY ANNOYING, THAT FOR 3 DAYS MY SYSTEM CAN ONLY RUN FOR 10 MINUTES AND THEN EVENTUALLY FREEZES, IV'E TRIED ALL THE SOLUTIONS FROM GOOGLE BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO SOLVE IT
[05:54] <Awesome3000> bleepbloop try startx  to shutdown do shutdown -h now
[05:55] <technocp> hi abadabad00 just issue command dpkg -r <name of package> do not include brackets
[05:55] <SeaPhor> vasan, EXACT same error?
[05:55] <vasan> s
[05:55] <iflema> atom_fox run a live cd for 3 days.....
[05:55] <Awesome3000> atom_fox  is your CPU overheating
[05:55] <ShazbotMcNasty> atom_fox, I THINK YOU'VE EITHER GOT A BAD FAN, OR YOU'VE GOT BAD RAM
[05:55] <atom_fox> I ACTIVATED THE VIDEO DRIVER FROM HARDWARE DRIVERS, ALREADY INSTALLED IT
[05:55] <elitecoder> Hi, I'm looking for a good guide or a person to help setup an L2TP IPSec VPN server on ubuntu 9.10.
[05:55] <bleepbloop> Awesome3000: just type in 'startx' in the command line?
[05:55] <atom_fox> MY RAM IS 4GB
[05:55] <abadabad00> technocp - again, I don't know the 'name of the package'. Its probably not the same as the name of the deb file I installed.
[05:55] <Flannel> atom_fox: please turn off your capslock
[05:56] <kinja-sheep> atom_fox: WHAT IS YOUR SYSTEM MAKE AND MODEL? I WILL LOOK UP YOUR HARDWARES.
[05:56] <ceW_cr> medan
[05:56] <ShazbotMcNasty> atom_fox, stop capsraging or you'll be kicked
[05:56] <atom_fox> I'm using F80s laptop
[05:56] <elitecoder> haha
[05:56] <vasan> SeaPhor: I got the same error
[05:56] <iflema> atom_fox test that ram, run a live cd for 3 days..... say puppy linux
[05:56] <Awesome3000> bleepbloop  To attempt to start X
[05:56] <atom_fox> Asus F80s
[05:56] <technocp> what exactly are you trying to remove
[05:57] <atom_fox> is it ok if I use a live usb?
[05:57] <ShazbotMcNasty> atom_fox, have you taken apart your computer lately? Or added anything to your computer? ALSO - are all of the fans running correctly
[05:57] <sthames> when i shutdown my computer freezes then [ 666.696302] ipw2200: Failed to send CARD_DISABLE: command timed out. [666.697002] System halted... any ideas anyone?
[05:57] <princezuda> yes atom_fox you really should use a live cd.
[05:57] <ShazbotMcNasty> also - if it still freezes on live CD, it's either you CPU or your RAM
[05:57] <princezuda> Live USB should work also.
[05:57] <iflema> atom_fox yeah point being try another rig
[05:57] <ceW_cr> cow biasa
[05:57] <technocp> i have created a dns server on ubuntu machine it resolves perfectly from internal network even the nslookup for ms record works perfectly but i am not having the static wan ip so i use dydns can anyone explain portforwarding in my broadband router
[05:58] <atom_fox> ShazbotMcNasty, yup it's running ok, when I run other OS everything works, when it comes to 9.10 it always freeze
[05:58] <iflema> atom_fox move ya ram sticks... pull afew.... systimatic tests
[05:58] <abadabad00> so.... I don't know the name of the package this stupid deb file put on my system. Therefore I can't uninstall it?
[05:58] <SeaPhor> vasan, there is some other factor missing here,,,,
[05:58] <Awesome3000> sthames  you know what ipw2200
[05:59] <max1234> is firefox the fastest browser in linux?
[05:59] <kinja-sheep> max1234: It is not.
[05:59] <Awesome3000> technocp see http://portforward.com/
[05:59] <max1234> what is?
[05:59] <sthames> i think it has something to do with my wifi i have googled it repeatedly
[05:59] <techhelper1> chrome is out for linux
 but you might be knowing what you want to uninstall
[05:59] <SeaPhor> Flannel, if you get a sec, could you look at this and let vasan know whats wrong? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4cb578c1
[05:59] <kinja-sheep> max1234: Chromium. Opera. Maybe? w3m (terminal).
[05:59] <atom_fox> iflema, you mean I run a system test for my ram? Should install other video driver besides what ubuntu detected from hardware updates?
[05:59] <technocp> can anyone discuss the dns here
[06:00] <abadabad00> unreal
[06:00] <abadabad00> another idiocy of ubuntu and linux
[06:00] <technocp> so unreal is the software that you want to uninstall
[06:00] <kinja-sheep> atom_fox: http://leonid.shevtsov.me/installing-ubuntu-9-04-on-asus-f80s/
[06:00] <Flannel> abadabad00: It's easy to figure out.  What's the file you want to remove?
[06:00] <techhelper1> unreal like the game
[06:00] <techhelper1> or the ircd
[06:01] <atom_fox> kinja-sheep, thanks for the help
[06:01] <technocp> you better go to synaptic to try and find unreal
[06:01] <abadabad00> i mean seriously... I downloaded (supposedly) a gui addon for a turbographx 16 emulator. the filename was kdeaddons-emulation_3.5.3-2_all.deb ... so I assumed it is called kdeaddons or something..... no. of course not. that would be to easy
[06:01] <technocp> or just go to add remove programs and find all the categories for unreal
[06:01] <iflema> the install discs have a ram tester in the boot menu.. in terminal type lspci -v | grep VGA to get ya video card info
[06:02] <abadabad00> not unreal
[06:02] <Flannel> abadabad00: Assuming it follows proper naming, it's kdeaddons-emulation.
[06:02] <abadabad00> I was saying this situation is unreal
[06:02] <abadabad00> Flannel - it doesn't... or I wouldn't be spending my time in here
[06:02] <max1234> what is w3m? I typed that in the terminal and got abunch of commands?
[06:03] <princezuda> I feel like bashing my head out of frustration.. metaphorically of course. I just can't get anything to work with my wacom tablet... does it matter that it is pen and touch?
[06:03] <harish> can any one help me i hav installed ubuntu thro wubi and file transfer to usb drive is slow in karmic
[06:03] <abadabad00> why isn't there a simple 'uninstall' button when you click on a deb package. There is a 'Reinstall' button.
[06:03] <vasan> SeaPhor: Its running these error msg only
[06:03] <Flannel> abadabad00: You'll get further by losing the attitude.  What does /var/log/dpkg.log say?
[06:03] <atom_fox> kinja-sheep, is the catalyst/fglrx that ubuntu automatically installed is not the proper driver?
[06:03] <atom_fox> should I get the official from the ATI
[06:03] <techhelper1> for the faster browser person, go to google.com/chrome    select your right distro and install google chrome
[06:04] <princezuda> Harish: Wubi is bad news that was my first experience with ubuntu and it went real bad. Install the real version of Ubuntu.
[06:04] <kinja-sheep> atom_fox: It is always possible. It is not uncommon that Ubuntu get things backward.
[06:04] <NDNAdmin> ok so I am trying to set my server to a static IP
[06:04] <sthames> i just want my laptop to shutdown
[06:04] <Flannel> abadabad00: Or you can use dpkg: dpkg --info whatever-deb-file.ded
[06:04] <NDNWebmaster> i used sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
[06:04] <Flannel> abadabad00: That'll give you the package name
[06:04] <abadabad00> Flannel - i'll check that log. But, isn't that a valid point that there should be an 'uninstall' button when you double click on a deb package that has already been installed? They took the time to add a 'reinstall' button....
[06:05] <atom_fox> so do I need to remove the preinstalled drivers? I'm sorry but this is my first linux distro.. so I hope you don't get annoyed if I ask simple questions thanks
[06:05] <abadabad00> Flannel - that should do it
[06:05] <abadabad00> mone second
[06:05] <NDNWebmaster> i added in all my network info...and i edited resolv.conf to add my dns entries
[06:05] <abadabad00> one
[06:05] <NDNWebmaster> when i restart networking i get an error message saying misplaced option?
[06:07] <abadabad00> strange
[06:07] <deepa_> I want to rename /etc file to /etc1 and reboot the system?
[06:07] <NDNWebmaster> says it cant read from my network interfaces file
[06:07] <abadabad00> its was called kdeaddons-emulation but it wasn't in the synaptec. I did a dpkg -r kdeaddons-emulation and it was removed successfully.
[06:07] <abadabad00> I love linux
[06:07] <osmosis> how come   which time  doesnt return the path to the time program?
[06:08] <maco> osmosis: er, it does for me
[06:08] <osmosis> maco, hmm. my hardy server doesn't
[06:09] <Flannel> osmosis: is 'time' a valid command for you?
[06:09] <osmosis> Flannel, yes
[06:10] <osmosis> Flannel, but i dont see it in /usr/bin
[06:10] <Flannel> osmosis: which time works here for me on hardy, do you have /usr/bin/time? hmm
[06:11] <osmosis> type time
[06:11] <osmosis> time is a shell keyword
[06:11] <maco> osmosis: what shell are you using?
[06:11] <Flannel> osmosis: Right, I was just about to mention that
[06:11] <reeniginEesreveR> whats a lookup path for an executable on shell? e.g. when i type ls, what directories are looked up for existence of ls?
[06:11] <maco> no path would make sense if its a shell builtin...
[06:12] <sthames> anybody know what this means [ 666.696302] ipw2200: Failed to send CARD_DISABLE: command timed out. [666.697002] System halted
[06:12] <Flannel> osmosis: do you have 'time' installed? (package)
[06:12] <maco> reeniginEesreveR: echo $PATH
[06:13] <Khisanth> reeniginEesreveR: the ones in 'echo $PATH'
[06:13] <reeniginEesreveR> thanks :-)
[06:13] <osmosis> Flannel, i guess i must have it as part of bash, so its builtin. Whats the time package called?
[06:13] <Flannel> osmosis: time
[06:13] <nubuntu> yoyo wazzup

[06:19] <max1234> has anyone here built the chromium os?
[06:19] <ShazbotMcNasty> max1234, I've seen it, built it but it didn't work.
[06:19] <Aiya> greeting~
[06:19] <fulat2k> hi folks, i've got an ext4 lvm partition which i'd like to perform an online shrink.  but resize2fs reports that online shrinking is not supported.  any idea why?  i've also tried ext3 which the same results.
[06:19] <ardchoille> !ot | max1234
[06:19] <ShazbotMcNasty> but max1234 what question do you have about it?
[06:19] <ShazbotMcNasty> oh yeah....sorry
[06:19] <ShazbotMcNasty> nvm
[06:19] <genii> deepa_: If you make /etc into /etc1   your computer will fail miserably
[06:20] <ShazbotMcNasty> fulat2k, use gparted
i just want to know what will happen  that is the issues am going to face if i rename it so?
[06:20] <genii> deepa_: Failure to boot
[06:20] <fulat2k> ShazbotMcNasty: ok... but is there a reason why resize2fs is reporting that online shrinking is not supported?
[06:20] <max1234> ShazbotMcNasty, I think i would like it, but I have only been using linux for a few months and I was wondering if it would be difficult for a newbie to do
[06:20] <SeaPhor> failure to launch any service
[06:20] <ShazbotMcNasty> fulat2k, I don't know, I son't use resize2fs
[06:21] <ardchoille> max1234: discussion about chrome os needs to go to another channel

[06:22] <max1234> airtonix, and I type that where?
[06:22] <ShazbotMcNasty> I private massaged you.
[06:22] <ardchoille> deepa_: your system will not work at all, you don't want to be renaming system files like that, it's bad
[06:22] <max1234> okay thanks
[06:23] <ShazbotMcNasty> max1234, the same place where you're typing anything in here.
[06:23] <xorxes> Hi. I want to resize my current linux partition with gparted. Will anything bad happen if I unmount it, while running off of it? Or will I need to grab the gparted livecd?
[06:23] <scan> hello all of you my question has not much to talk about the subject  but here it goes im tring to block a web page so if i block a web page is there a place where i can get a list of sites that are blocked to have that same list and block the same sites?
[06:23] <ardchoille> max1234: in your chat client, type this: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:23] <iflema> Aiya have you enabled 3d graphics?
[06:23] <EmLeX> xD
[06:23] <ShazbotMcNasty> max1234, if you're using xchat, then the private message will be in a read name on the left side of this chat box.
[06:23] <ardchoille> deepa_: is someone telling you to rename that folder? If so, don't trust anything they say from now on
[06:24] <airtonix> max1234, you might find this useful (specific to this channel_) : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/openweekKarmic/IRCEtiquite
[06:24] <bishop> ? how to get rid of corrupted ntfs  winows7 and install ubuntu ?
[06:25] <ShazbotMcNasty> bishop, do you have a ubuntu CD?
[06:25] <ShazbotMcNasty> Or have you made one?
[06:25] <Tsquad> you try reformating the drive with live cd?
[06:25] <bishop> yes
 it is an assignment to rename /etc to /etc1 and to reboot the system.
[06:26] <ShazbotMcNasty> bishop, put it in, run it in 'live' to see if you like it - then click the 'install' icon on the desktop
[06:26] <maco> deepa_: er, what? thatll just break the system
[06:26] <maco> deepa_: someone was in here earlier that'd done the same silly thing
[06:26] <ardchoille> deepa_: Then the assignment goal is for you to end up with a corrupted system. IF it is an assignment, go ahead and do it, but your system will not work after that
[06:26] <SeaPhor> deepa_, it will fail
[06:26] <ShazbotMcNasty> deepa_, do not do that, that person is trying to get you to break your system
[06:26] <ShazbotMcNasty> max1234, did you see my private message?
[06:26] <ardchoille> folks, deepa_ may be taking a course
[06:27] <maco> deepa_: burn a live cd you can use to recover from before you do it
[06:27] <maco> deepa_: last person asking hadnt done that
[06:27] <ShazbotMcNasty> oh...
[06:27] <ardchoille> deepa_: I agree with maco , it's a good idea
[06:28] <Tsquad> anyone here know about the compatiblility issues between ubuntu 9.10 and fire fox 3.5 and Gnome-go search function? im looking for a fix
[06:28] <max1234> ShazbotMcNasty, yes I got your message, thank you, I am reading up on ifc right now
[06:28] <deepa_> ok if i use live cd , is renaming and rebooting is possible?
[06:28] <ShazbotMcNasty> irc* and okay :)
[06:29] <ardchoille> deepa_: you can boot from a livecd and change /etc1 back to /etc
[06:31] <SeaPhor> deepa_, for a windows comparison, it'd be like renaming the "C:\Windows\system32\  directory...
[06:31] <deepa_> i tried renaming /etc to /etc1 and reboot but the system didn't reboot at all...
[06:32] <SeaPhor> deepa_, or the "C:\Windows\  directory... for that matter
[06:32] <ardchoille> deepa_: that was expected
[06:32] <bishop> i have tried to install ubuntu but format does not finish. it jumps ahead to copying files. might have hard drive problem.
[06:33] <uwe> moin
[06:33] <bullgard> bishop: First make sure that you do not have hardware problems before you try to install Ubuntu.
[06:33] <bishop> ok
[06:34] <bishop> thankx
[06:34] <deepa_> can u just tell me any other alternatives that i can use?
[06:34] <Patkc> Hello, i was wondering if someone could guide me thru the sh:grub part when i try to load up ubuntu. this error is caused by not being able to find the start up to load up ubuntu or something like that, i got a page showing me instructions how to do it but im having hard time with  set prefix=(hdX,Y)/boot/grub not sure what to put in the x,y
[06:35] <Patkc> to manual start i think
can u just tell me any other alternatives that i can use?
[06:37] <ardchoille> deepa_: alternatives to what?
[06:37] <Patkc> <-- will give money in their paypal if someone can resolve my problem
 alternative to rename /etc to /etc1?
[06:38] <chalcedny> we came home from shopping, and my husband's computer wouldn't let him click on anything in the top bar, he couldn't pull up a console or anything, not even shut off with the switch. itis typing 3 letters when he presses the u key..  we traded from the usb keyboarad to a ps2 keyboard and it's still happening.. any ideas?
[06:38] <chalcedny> kubuntu 9.10
[06:39] <ardchoille> deepa_: there aren't any, /etc/ is a vital system folder, if you rename it the system will not work.. plain and simple
[06:39] <bishop> thankx bullgard and all. i really like ubuntu. i am just tired of windows. thankx again. seeya
[06:39] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, what happens when you press one of those lock keys? i.e num lock.. does the LED light up?
[06:40] <Patkc> Can someone help me to figure my problem out, i installed ubuntu rebooted then it brings me right to the GNU GRUB version 1.97`beta4 looks like dos, but i want to boot up in ubuntu
 k.
[06:41] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, yes it does
[06:42] <psycho_oreos> Patkc, 9.10?
[06:42] <Patkc> yup
[06:42] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, sounds like a software lockup, and so rebooting won't actually resolve the issue?
[06:43] <psycho_oreos> Patkc, sounds like it wasn't installed properly
[06:43] <chalcedny> he rebooted, now it's working .. after 3 keyboards he's back to number1 .. i'm happy if he's happy.
[06:43] <psycho_oreos> Patkc, what with the cursor flashing right?
[06:43] <Patkc> no im on horrible vista, and at the end, it said something could enter something couldnt write in boot
[06:43] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, thank you :)
[06:43] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, I'd say, check the old kernel logs, may contain useful info there
[06:44] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, ty .. good idea!
[06:44] <psycho_oreos> Patkc, you set it to instal into mbr right?
[06:44] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, it'll be in /var/log and possibly one of those dmesg or messages
[06:44] <iflema> Patkc is there no option in the menu to boot ubuntu?
[06:45] <don-i> can someone help me figure out why my udev rules are not working ? :'(
[06:45] <Patkc> yes, i jsut got a  virus few days ago and its not letting me work with bootloader, so that part keeps messing up if i could show u link what i got to do in PM would be cool, i just keep getting set prefix=(hdX,Y)/boot/grub If incorrect, "no such disk"  <---- that error
[06:46] <don-i> i have a device that is currently on ttyacm3 but i want it on ttyacm0
[06:46] <don-i> any thoughts ?
[06:46] <Patkc> iflema yes there sthe option to boot in ubuntu i chose it then brings me to sh:grub> then i can just type commands
[06:47] <Patkc> and from what i read i need to find the boot sequence to get in ubuntu then update the grub
[06:47] <psycho_oreos> Patkc, good idea to remove the virus first because it would compound the issues
[06:47] <Patkc> but im having hard time with that part cause i dont know what to put in prefix=(hdX,Y) for the x,y
[06:48] <psycho_oreos> X is disk number, and Y is the partition number.. remember its unix like counting, meaning the first disk and/or first partition starts at number 0
[06:48] <brando753> Guys i installed cpuburn but i dont know how to run it :O
[06:48] <brando753> what should i do
[06:48] <Patkc> oh i tried, i used every virus scanners online, all adware ect tools, and it wont find it cause i think person crypted the virus so its giving me hard time, and i cant format cause im broke and cant buy a cdr til next week lol
[06:49] <psycho_oreos> Patkc, and you have nowhere else to backup your data in?
[06:49] <iflema> Patkc you could have  go at reinstalling grub... windows will be safe... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[06:50] <Patkc> well when i type ls it gives me (hd0) (hd0,2) (hd0,1)
[06:50] <Patkc> ok i check link out
[06:50] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, i pulled up a terminal and started to type /var/log .. it makes an ~l when i type l.
[06:50] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, if it was windows i'd look for a virus.
[06:51] <linux> hello
[06:51] <psycho_oreos> Patkc, it means you have 1 hard disk and on it has 3 partitions (1 of them is most likely extended which brings the last one up as a possible logical drive)
[06:52] <Patkc> ok so what would i put as x,y any idea? sorry im really noob at this, i just want out of windows im fed up of problems with it
[06:52] <duffman> hi, anybody know the shell command to start mplayer?
[06:52] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, well lol, in linux you can still get infected if you're not careful, generally ubuntu has a good theory behind locking root accounts but even wrong moves could still compromise a linux box just like windows box
[06:52] <psycho_oreos> Patkc, read what iflema said
[06:52] <brando753> what, did someone catch a virus??? :O
[06:52] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, I think you're meant to do ls -l /var/log
[06:52] <wrapster> how do i extract a cpio archive?
[06:53] <Patkc> i was there lol, just keep getting no such disk cause of this command set prefix=(hdX,Y)/boot/grub
[06:53] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, i find that hard to believe.. i'll trry that
[06:53] <wrapster> cpio -id < archname
[06:53] <wrapster> if i do that..it says 1 block.. but i dont see any dirs created..
[06:53] <Patkc> thats what im reading been pass 3 hours, trust me my last solution was to come here and bug. i got laptop right now infront of me trying while using gf comp talking here
[06:53] <duffman> anyone? shell command to start mplayer?
[06:53] <brando753> duffman, 1 sec
[06:53] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, linux terminal is much like DOS prompt.. the first argument is always a command and the subsequent sets of arguments are arguments to be passed onto the command
[06:54] <duffman> k thanks brando753
[06:54] <homebrewcider> hey there, when I log in as a regular user I get a very low res desktop, but when I log in as root, i get a res of 1680 x 1050. What could cause this?
[06:54] <iflema> duffman take a guess. command line or with gui?
[06:54] <duffman> command line
[06:54] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, if i press the L key.. it's typing ~l
[06:54] <duffman> its not mplayer, and theres no entry for man mplayer
[06:54] <iflema> duffman type man mplayer
[06:54] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, on usb keyboard?
[06:55] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, if i hit backspace it types other things
[06:55] <duffman> and theres no entry for man mplayer
[06:55] <psycho_oreos> !mplayer
[06:55] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, it was doing odd things for letters in the usb keyboard, too
[06:55] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, I'd say it could be a key binding issue
[06:55] <chalcedny> er the ps2 kbod.. this is the usb one
[06:56] <psycho_oreos> Patkc, honestly, my best suggestion is to backup necessary data from vista, do a clean install of vista and then ubuntu
[06:56] <psycho_oreos> Patkc, would save you a hell lot of work trying to figure out the grub issue
[06:56] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, hmmmmm how do we fix that when we can't type reliably?
[06:56] <brando753> duffman: so you no the location of the video to open and wish to do so through the terminal?
[06:57] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, not sure exactly under ubuntu but look under settings and keyboard
[06:57] <duffman> yes
[06:57] <Patkc> yeah, i know just problem is i dont have a vista cd, and i cant buy a cdr cd til i get money, but i will try and figure this out, thanks tho
[06:57] <brando753> duffman: sudo apt-get install mplayer
[06:57] <brando753> then type man mplayer
[06:57] <brando753> its all their
[06:57] <brando753> there
[06:57] <brando753> :D
[06:57] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, kubuntu .. ill take a look
[06:58] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, I have xubuntu here, umm kubuntu would almost be the same except maybe integrated into control centre or something
[06:59] <stelio> is it possible to create an image of the root partition while ubuntu is running?
[06:59] <gui7> stelio, yes: look at dd
[07:00] <gui7> just not save to the same partition
[07:00] <gui7> anyone know how to insert a transition between 2 files in kino?
[07:01] <gui7> any help? its urgent
[07:01] <enduser000> hello, how might I record sound from my computer and not my mic?
[07:01] <psycho_oreos> never tried kino
[07:01] <stelio> gui7: ok, but what of files which are still open while running the dd command?
[07:02] <gui7> stelio, i believe it'll still work as long as you save to a different partition
[07:02] <brando753> Guys i installed cpuburn but i dont know how to run it :O
[07:02] <brando753> anyone know the command
[07:02] <brando753> :D
[07:02] <racks0r> hey guys
[07:03] <psycho_oreos> brando753, http://pages.sbcglobal.net/redelm/readme.txt
[07:03] <racks0r> i'm installing ubuntu, and i'm wondering if a resize operation of a NTFS visa partition would corrupt the data on it?
[07:03] <racks0r> vista*
[07:04] <enduser000> racks0r: avoid it if you can (maybe shrink that partition from within vista). you might neet to put in the vista install disc so windows can right itself if you do it the other way... or it could ruin it too
[07:04] <racks0r> problem is its a laptop and vista came with it, no CD, only restore thing at bios
[07:05] <brando753> psycho_oreos: thanks
[07:05] <brando753> racks0r, first
[07:05] <racks0r> i'm thinking would gparted live cd be better than the ubuntu partitioner?
[07:05] <brando753> racks0r, Defragment VIsta
[07:05] <racks0r> already did that brando753
[07:05] <brando753> racks0r: then
[07:05] <brando753> racks0r: use ubuntu partitioner
[07:05] <enduser000> racks0r: the ubuntu livecd will have gparted too
[07:05] <brando753> racks0r: its fine
[07:05] <racks0r> but defrag took 2 seconds, not like minutes like it takes on windows :S so i'm not sure if it did it right
[07:06] <racks0r> windows xp*
[07:06] <brando753> racks0r: Wait
[07:06] <racks0r> ok
[07:06] <brando753> racks0r: u did defrag on windows right
[07:06] <brando753> racks0r: not with some weird linux app right
[07:06] <enduser000> how can I record sound from my computer and not my mic?
[07:06] <racks0r> yea i meant like it takes time on xp, but vista did it in seconds , its a 350 gig partition
[07:06] <brando753> thats really odd
[07:07] <brando753> i would do once more to be safe
[07:07] <brando753> either way
[07:07] <racks0r> it certainly is, that's why i was wonderin
[07:07] <brando753> racks0r: i will give you a link 1 sec
[07:07] <racks0r> ok thanks
[07:07] <racks0r> enduser000, what do u mean?
[07:07] <brando753> there is a recovery disc if something goes wrong
[07:07] <psycho_oreos> there's a slight difference in ntfs versions used in both xp and vista
[07:07] <brando753> ya but my vista brand new takes hours
[07:08] <enduser000> racks0r: like record what's playing and not from the microphone
[07:09] <Maleko> how do you extract out tar from gunzip compressed files
[07:09] <ardchoille> Maleko: tar xzf filename
[07:09] <racks0r> sometimes there's a capture link, which is the audio that's coming out just puts through a loop, or u can stream it to localhost to the recording app
[07:09] <sumoduno> how do i add an mozilla prim app to my main menu? i made one for wordpress but when i put it in the menu it just opens gedit
[07:09] <enduser000> Maleko: right click, "Extract Here"
[07:10] <enduser000> o.O
[07:10] <ardchoille> sumoduno: you can use the info in the dekstop launcher prism made to make a new menu item
 can u explain?
[07:10] <Maleko> you actually misunderstood me.
[07:10] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, segfault 11:59
[07:11] <ardchoille> sumoduno: did prism make a new desktop launcher for you?
[07:11] <enduser000> Maleko: oh, what did you mean?
[07:11] <brandon> hello
 mhm
[07:11] <brandon> I have a problem
[07:11] <racks0r> oh u wanna keep tar? Maleko
[07:11] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, doesnt' really help, segfault could be coming from any program
[07:11] <racks0r> use gzip
[07:11] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, it's messy, i saved it to a word doc.. shall i pastebin the log and maybe we can figure out what broke?
[07:11] <ardchoille> sumoduno: good, open that desktop launcher in gedit and use that information to make a new menu item
[07:11] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, ok
[07:11] <chalcedny> k
[07:11] <ardchoille> sumoduno: I can walk you through it if needed
 oh wow im so dumb i didnt even think about that. haha thnaks!
[07:12] <ardchoille> sumoduno: No problem, it took me a few minutes to figure it out too :)
[07:13] <mneptok> sumoduno: or just use System > Prefs > Main Menu
[07:13] <ardchoille> sumoduno: once you have the menu item completed and saved, you can delete the desktop launcher if you want to
 im way ahead of you! :) thanks again!
[07:14] <ardchoille> hehe, ok
[07:14] <brandon> Every time I play a video file my PC freezes and the audio repeats like a machine gun sound, I tried mplayer, and VLC player. the file types I tried where .mkv and then I converted an .mkv to .avi thinking it might have just been .mkv files but every time I play them it gets like 2mins in then freezes up.
[07:14] <ardchoille> brandon: what distro are you runing?
[07:14] <Patkc> lol.... i tried every y,x combination and they all keep telling me no such disk....
[07:15] <brando753> racks0r: you still here
[07:15] <brandon> 9.04
[07:15] <brokendisk> hello, i ddrescue my disk and it says "splitting failed blocks" in the last line and constantly changes the input position and output position which are always equal. it says error size = entire disk size meanwhile. does this make sense?
[07:15] <brando753> racks0r: if so
[07:15] <brokendisk> should i keep it running
[07:15] <NatPagle> Whats up fellow insomniac Ubuntu users!?
[07:15] <racks0r> o yea i'm here
[07:15] <brokendisk> or is this this some fucked up dumb shit
[07:15] <brandon> ardchoille, 9.04
[07:15] <ardchoille> brando753: hmm, interesting.. do you have all the required codecs installed?
[07:15] <brando753> racks0r: here is the recovery disks for vista to burn if it has a problem
[07:15] <brando753> http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/
[07:15] <racks0r> brokendisk, what other file types have u tried?
[07:15] <psycho_oreos> Patkc, there's actually two parts to that command
[07:15] <brokendisk> racks0r: what do u mean?
[07:15] <racks0r> oh great!
[07:16] <brokendisk> ipos and opos are seemingly randomly changed
[07:16] <racks0r> oh i meant brandon
[07:16] <brokendisk> fuck
[07:16] <brokendisk> ok
[07:16] <elky> !language
[07:16] <ardchoille> !language | brokendisk
[07:17] <brokendisk> oh
[07:17] <brokendisk> ok
[07:17] <racks0r> thanks alot brando753
[07:17] <brandon> racks0r, I belive so, it wouldn't play otherwise would it?
[07:17] <NatPagle> lol
[07:17] <brokendisk> may i say effing effsh1t?
[07:17] <brando753> racks0r: np
[07:17] <ardchoille> brandon:  hmm, interesting.. do you have all the required codecs installed?
[07:17] <Patkc> set prefix=(hdX,Y)/boot/grub    then set root=(loop0) , set , ls /boot  when i do that command keeps saying no such disk..
[07:17] <brokendisk> i hate that ddrescue doesnt rescue anything
[07:17] <brando753> racks0r: just remember to defrag again that first one sounds to suspicious
[07:17] <Patkc> the x,y i tried em all from what i seen in the ls
[07:18] <brandon> ardchoille,  what codecs would I need so .mkv plays fine?
[07:18] <racks0r> i guess not brandon, what's exactly freezing, can u switch to virtual terminals with Alt+Ctrl+F1 or F2 or others?
[07:18] <brandon> racks0r, I havn't tried.
[07:18] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/356931/
[07:18] <racks0r> brando753, thing is i tried like couple of times, i even did check disk for errors, it said scheduled after reboot, i did reboot it didn't do it
[07:18] <ardchoille> How do I show what a package provides without installing the package?
[07:19] <racks0r> vista man, silly stuff
[07:19] <racks0r> ardchoille, dpkg
[07:19] <brokendisk> does it make any sense to let it keep running?
[07:20] <brandon> another question is there a program that can clean out my ram when it starts to get full?
[07:21] <ardchoille> racks0r: which option to dpkg?
[07:21] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, weird, the stuff on top shows lots of segfaults mainly to do with screensaver stuff
[07:22] <racks0r> lemme check ardchoille
[07:22] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, i don't know enough to know.. does this look maybe like why it's doing this:  vir kernel: Cannot find map file.
[07:22] <racks0r> ardchoille, u wanna see what it contains yea?
[07:22] <ardchoille> racks0r: I thought it was -I but that fails
[07:22] <ardchoille> racks0r: I want to see what a package provides
[07:23] <brandon> anyone know the terminal code for getting the GUI GPU details?
[07:23] <racks0r> this is what man dpkg on my debian says ,               -c, --contents archive
[07:23] <racks0r>                   List contents of a deb package.
[07:23] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, I kinda doubt that, a map file is for kernel booting up purposes
[07:24] <zhanglearn> anyone know the defference of total time tested by "time" and "gprof"
[07:24] <gemuet> hi all
[07:24] <gemuet> good morning from Cameroon
[07:24] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, ok.. he still can't type. (my husband had a stroke and can't speak.. this is how he communicates.. it's important.
[07:24] <zhanglearn> the time tested by "time" is far beyond the time tested by "gprof"
[07:25] <brando753> racks0r: hmm that sounds fishy, hmm...
[07:25] <gemuet> new to the channel
[07:25] <ardchoille> racks0r: dpkg -c wmaker returns " dpkg-deb: `wmaker' is not a debian format archive" but I installed it from the repos
[07:25] <krelboyne> ardchoille: dpkg -L wmaker
[07:25] <Sirisian> I might as well try here. Anyone know how to make a unix domain socket file? Is it different from a regular file?
[07:25] <vinceman> my computer can't connet to a device, but it does show in the /dev dir, what could be wrong?
[07:25] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, so its not the keyboard bindings? like the keyboard layout is not different from the usual one?
[07:25] <ardchoille> krelboyne: Yes! that was it, thanks :)
[07:25] <vinceman> what chmod settings should you imply?
[07:26] <krelboyne> ardchoille: np
[07:26] <brokendisk> sorry does it make any sense to let it keep running?
[07:26] <brokendisk> or should i smash it
[07:26] <vinceman> it was 660, I tried 777 but that's a bit drastic, isn't it?
[07:26] <brokendisk> with a rusty pipe
[07:26] <vinceman> no
[07:26] <Makavey> I am new to linux all together.  Does anyone know if there us a usenet grabber similar to grabit?
[07:26] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, i couldn't find anything that looked weird there .. maybe i was in the wrong place?
[07:26] <vinceman> your disk is already broken, don't smash anything else
[07:27] <brokendisk> i mean
[07:27] <brokendisk> fuck
[07:27] <vinceman> | ?
[07:27] <DasEi> ardchoille: apt-cache depends
[07:27] <brokendisk> i ddrescue my disk and it says "splitting failed blocks" in the last line and constantly changes the input position and output position which are always equal. it says error size = entire disk size meanwhile. does this make sense?
[07:27]  * elky stares at brokendisk's vocabulary.
[07:27] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, no sometimes keyboard bindings may actually cause a different letter to be shown on screen, for example a standard US-101 keyboard with say a Euro keyboard would show weird characters on the screen
[07:27] <brokendisk> the access light of the disk doesnt even blink
[07:27] <psycho_oreos> Euro keyboard layout that is*
[07:28] <ardchoille> DasEi: That's a good one too thanks
[07:28] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, it's typing odd and more than one american character, tab does it, backspace does it.. control backspace lets it backspace, but in the goole window it just erases the whole thing. control plus a keky is a command.
[07:28] <brokendisk> ?
[07:29] <brokendisk> surviver time or smashing time?
[07:30] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, well I dunno its usually keyboard layouts is the main thing
[07:31] <psycho_oreos> otherwise its probably to do with bad connectors
[07:31] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, on BOTH usb and ps2 plugs?
[07:32] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, its possible over time ps2 connector can get damaged, had it happen before wih asus motherboard.. but for now what I would try is a livecd distro on that computer that is having the issues
[07:32] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, and see if its actually a hardware issue or software issue
[07:34] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, you are filled with good ideas.. i think we even have live cds.. hang on :)
[07:35] <brandon> how do I view my desktop in 3D?
[07:35] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, heh thanks
[07:36] <psycho_oreos> brandon, you probably need something like compiz/beryl but much before that a decent video adapter
[07:36] <T0mRiddle> Hi, I broke my sound
[07:36] <T0mRiddle> In Sound Prefrences > Hardware, there is nothing listed, I don't know if it was always like that, but I'm 99% sure I had sound before
[07:36] <brandon> I have a ATI Radeon 9550 256MB GPU
[07:36] <hyperstream> if i can run the compiz eye candy does that require some kind of 3d rendering like openGL or directx etc?
[07:36] <psycho_oreos> brandon, that should be reasonable enough but probably better if you ran fglrx driver
[07:37] <hyperstream> minus the directx part :P
[07:37] <brandon> psycho_oreos, whats fglrx?
[07:37] <monkey___> I have a question here
[07:37] <psycho_oreos> don't know, not a fan of these extreme eye candy stuff
[07:37] <T0mRiddle> I'm running Compiz eye candy on a 1.3ghz Celeron with a GeForce440-SE 64mb PCI card, it doesn't take much
[07:37] <psycho_oreos> brandon, proprietary driver for ati video cards, works better in almost all cases compared to the free open sourced driver
[07:38] <hyperstream> trying to get that Regnum linux client game running
[07:38] <psycho_oreos> no I mean like running compiz on say intel chipsets
[07:38] <hyperstream> reports of the laptop graphics card running it,  i have direct rendering, still no luck
[07:38] <brandon> psycho_oreos,  really? so you think maybe my video's that keep freezing might be caused by this driver as well?
[07:39] <T0mRiddle> Is there a way to reset the sound to default, drivers and all?
[07:39] <psycho_oreos> brandon, well I don't know for sure, it could be numerous things apart from just the driver, maybe overheating maybe a hardware fault somewhere, etc
[07:39] <monkey___> I have no sound. Nothing is muted and and everything is turned up.  preferences show no devices.  any ideas
[07:39] <T0mRiddle> monkey___: Same problem bud!
[07:39] <brandon> psycho_oreos,  where can I find this fglrx driver?
[07:39] <hyperstream> monkey___, laptop ?
[07:39] <T0mRiddle> I think I had sound before though
[07:39] <psycho_oreos> !fglrx
[07:39] <brandon> psycho_oreos,  the ati site?
[07:39] <hyperstream> !intel
[07:39] <monkey___> nope, desktop
[07:39] <psycho_oreos> !fglrx | brandon
[07:40] <hyperstream> monkey___, well i had a similar issue and had to install Lucid (next ubuntu in developement #ubuntu+1) solved my issues, and hasnt had any issues as of yet
[07:42] <psycho_oreos> I'm suspecting the issue that both monkey___ and T0mRiddle are having is related to pulseaudio issue, I do not have 9.10 but 9.04 and I used a dirty hack to make it work by forcing to use alsa instead of pulseaudio (and then I removed pulseaudio)
[07:42] <brokendisk> should i kill it?
[07:42] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, he can type his login with the cd in. it works.
[07:42] <brokendisk> with a fire hydrant
[07:42] <T0mRiddle> Hmm
[07:42] <songer> hello
[07:43] <songer> i can't conver avi  to other format
[07:43] <chalcedny> T0mRiddle, same guy from over there?
[07:43] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, so its a software issue, that I'd say is definitely keyboard mapping or some other software causing the issue, for now maybe its a good idea to leave the disc in there and to also try and see what is the difference in setup of keyboard related stuff from cd to the installed version
[07:43] <songer> i got this: Unknown encoder 'libfaac'
[07:43] <T0mRiddle> lol, hey Chalce
[07:43] <T0mRiddle> Yup, same me
[07:43] <psycho_oreos> songer, you probably don't have that codec
[07:44] <songer> i have it
[07:44] <T0mRiddle> Is there a way to access the pulse config?
[07:44] <songer> i'. looking on google
[07:44] <chalcedny> hehe T0mRiddle good to see you, my husband's computer is typing odd things on some keys. no way to type coherently
[07:44] <don-i> anyone know how to setup udev rules ?
[07:45] <johntramp> hey have any of you any tips on how to make a .mkv video run better on a slow machine? at the moment it skips a bit using banshee or vlc
[07:45] <roffe> what's the command to type if I want to upgrade to lynx?
[07:45] <psycho_oreos> !pulseaudio
[07:45] <brokendisk> hey ok i ddrescue my disk and it says "splitting failed blocks" in the last line and constantly changes the input position and output position which are always equal. it says error size = entire disk size meanwhile. does this make sense?
[07:45] <brokendisk> does this make any sense?
[07:45] <monkey___> hyperstream_,where did you get it since its not out yet?
[07:45] <brokendisk> the access light of the disk does not even blink
[07:45] <brokendisk> it totally does nothing
[07:45] <hyperstream> monkey___, its in the topic
[07:45] <hyperstream> monkey___, of the channel
[07:45] <brokendisk> but changes the ipos and opos seemingly randomly
[07:45] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos, T0mRiddle it's still doing it on the letter S ... sigh
[07:45] <brokendisk> this dumb f
[07:45] <brokendisk> what dshould i do?
[07:46] <vinceman> all hardware you buy in the store doesn't come with linux drivers yet
[07:46] <hyperstream> monkey___, your not even in the channel: #ubuntu+1
[07:46] <vinceman> right?
[07:46] <brokendisk> should i take out an old truck wheel rim and hit it?
[07:46] <psycho_oreos> chalcedny, and another keyboard? hitting s again?
[07:46] <chalcedny> psycho_oreos,  hmm ok trying another
[07:47] <causticsand> I have a quick, easy question, then I'll be out of your hair.  What is the default/preferred sound system for Karmic? alsa? pulseaudio? oss?
[07:47] <hyperstream> pulseaudio
[07:47] <brokendisk> hey what does this dumb fuk do please?
[07:47] <hyperstream> language brokendisk ....
[07:48] <psycho_oreos> most would recommend pulseaudio, but only if it suits your setup
[07:48] <brokendisk> but please
[07:48] <causticsand> well darn...now that I've asked it...I should have asked for 2.  Should i disable/uninstall oss and alsa?
[07:48] <brokendisk> this thing is insulting me by doing nothing
[07:48] <iamelite> Does anyone know a program or a Keyword i can research to allow me to open up a bios image (that you have for flashing updated bios) to either read information about the MB Hardware or change settings?
[07:48] <psycho_oreos> causticsand, probably not a good idea
[07:48] <causticsand> ok thank you
[07:48] <iamelite> Im on this really terrible acer laptop and im trying to unlock it to use a better processor, and im trying to learn how.
[07:49] <causticsand> *bows out with a wave
[07:49] <hyperstream> brokendisk, no one here HAS to help you. You are not paying for this serivce.... go google. or wait paitenly
[07:50] <brokendisk> hyperstream: how is this relevant
[07:50] <brokendisk> anybody know what this is?
[07:50] <psycho_oreos> you posted your question twice and you were cursing, which may indicate your desperation
[07:50] <brokendisk> yes
[07:51] <brokendisk> hate it
[07:51] <intok> whats the state of the radeon drivers for the ati xpress 200 chipset?
[07:51] <brokendisk> please help
[07:51] <zenlunatic> you didnt even ask a question
[07:51] <hyperstream> brokendisk, cursing/begging will only make people not want to help you ...
[07:51] <brokendisk> my question is does this make any sense?
[07:51] <brokendisk> i ddrescue my disk and it says "splitting failed blocks" in the last line and constantly changes the input position and output position which are always equal. it says error size = entire disk size meanwhile. does this make sense?
[07:51] <zenlunatic> whats this
[07:51] <brokendisk> it totally does nothing
[07:52] <patbam> hi, should i use a vga or dvi cable for my monitor?
[07:52] <brokendisk> just changes the ipos and opos seemingly randomly
[07:52] <psycho_oreos> brokendisk, its a hardware issue
[07:52] <brokendisk> shoult i break it violently?
[07:52] <intok> brokendisk melt it with thermite
[07:52] <psycho_oreos> if you break it, it won't work, which would render what you were doing before useless
[07:52] <Seterwind> Patbam DVI if it supports it.
[07:52] <brokendisk> intok: thtas cool
[07:53] <brokendisk> psycho_oreos: yes yes ok lets be real does this ddrescue make any sense or not?
[07:53] <patbam> Seterwind: the dvi cable for the montior works for a mac, and there's a dvi jack on the computer, so i guess i should use dvi?
[07:53] <brokendisk> psycho_oreos: it basically does nothing, says errorsize = disk size and updates ipos randomly
[07:53] <Seterwind> If nothing else will work, yes broken break it in the most voilent manner possible, then you will at least be marginally satisfied with the result.
[07:53] <hyperstream>  brokendisk try google, finding alot of information :)
[07:53] <brokendisk> does anybody know?
[07:53] <Seterwind> Patbam then yes, nicer rez =DVI.
[07:53] <psycho_oreos> brokendisk, somewhat, but not that I can help you much with, its a hardware issue, which could be anything up to hard disk controllers, etc
[07:53] <iamelite> does anyone know a channel where i may find some people who are into hacking a bios? or may know how?
[07:53] <brokendisk> anybody familiar with ddrescue?
[07:54] <patbam> Seterwind: thanks
[07:54] <psycho_oreos> brokendisk, you may want to try ##hardware
[07:54] <brokendisk> psycho_oreos: of course it is a hardware issue ,thats what ddrescue is meant for
[07:54] <brokendisk> ok
[07:54] <Seterwind> Patbam, no problem.
[07:54] <patbam> Seterwind: now i just hav eto figure out why ubuntu won't see it
[07:56] <Husskii> wen free can someone give me the command to give a user rwx permissions to //var/www/ please. ive tried chmod rwx //var/www/ also tried chmod 775 //var/www/ with no success :(
[07:56] <zenlunatic> brokendisk, looks like thats part of gnu which mean it should be well documented.
[07:56] <Seterwind> Patbam: It's a common driver issue simply put in the horizontal and vertical refresh specs it worked perfectly. I also found that it doesnt like having any other connector plugged in when the dvi connector is in use (ie no svideo or vga).
[07:56] <psycho_oreos> Husskii, its one forward slash in front not two
[07:57] <brokendisk> zenlunatic: documentation doesnt cover behavior
[07:57] <hyperstream> Husskii, test chmod 777 /var/www
[07:57] <hyperstream> Husskii, see if that works if it does try 775 again
[07:57] <patbam> Seterwind: it's weird because it was working before i moved
[07:57] <Husskii> thanks ill try :)
[07:58] <brandon> how can I check my CPU speed like if I overclocked it?
[07:58] <Husskii> chmod: missing operand after `777/var/www'
[07:58] <Husskii> Try `chmod --help' for more information.
[07:58] <iceroot> brandon: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[07:58] <iceroot> Husskii: dont use chmod on /var/www
[07:58] <iamelite>  hi Umm Im looking everywhere for someone who knows a thing or two about hacking a MB Bios... I realize im likely not in the right room or area and i do apologize... but i do not know where to go ^_^
[07:59] <brandon> iceroot, thank you
[07:59] <iceroot> iamelite: correct, this is not the right place
[07:59] <intok> so nobody here is using the radeon drivers?
[07:59] <iceroot> !ati | intok
[07:59] <Guest60193> hi all, menu randomly pops up in openoffice applications, how to cure that?
[08:00] <brandon> intok,  I'm downloading them right now for my 9550 but I have no idea yet what to do once I get the driver.
[08:00] <intok> iceroot not useful FGLRX 9.3 doesn't play well with 9.10
[08:00] <krelboyne> Huskii: try something like chmod g+rwx
[08:00] <iceroot> intok: ah ok, good to know
[08:00] <iamelite> yes thank you for clarifying what i already knew. Perhaps one of you would like to show your skills and give me a helping pointer?
[08:00] <Husskii> i need to because I created the ubuntu server thru proxmox and instead of giving me a superuser it just gave me root, i need it to setup joomla then I can set it back... i forgot to put a space between 777 and var so i retried and didnt get an error, ill now try edit configuration.php and see if it worked
[08:01] <intok> brandon iceroot looking more for info on how painful it might or might not be to install some of the recent open source drivers for this xpress 200 chipset
[08:04] <atom_fox> how do I start a physical or memory test in ubuntu 9.10?
[08:05] <dimo> ciao

[08:08] <BriGe>  http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139723800 please com on this site. thats not a virus
[08:08] <jadakren> jmcs, i assume you'v already tried mounting it to a folder with a fullstop at the start of its name ?
[08:08] <dimo> !list
[08:10] <atom_fox> I'm still having a problem fixing the random freeze on ubuntu
[08:10] <jmcs> jadakren: no. but I'm using a series of beaglefs queries so using an hidden folder is not ideal for me
[08:11] <jmcs> jadakren: no. but I'm using a series of beaglefs queries so using an hidden folder is not ideal for me
[08:11] <atom_fox> hope anyone here can help
[08:11] <jadakren> atom_fox, you need to be more descirptive and never assume anyone is psyhic
[08:11] <atom_fox> I tried to install my ATI driver, using the official installer from the site.. but still the problem can't be solve...
[08:11] <rakista> atom_fox what happens when you check /var/log/mesages ?
[08:11] <rakista> Try vim /var/log/messages
[08:11] <jadakren> jmcs, beaglefs queries...this sounds interesting, mind pointing me to the information you're using to do this (and a better description of what it is) ?
[08:12] <rakista> Welcome back
[08:12] <atom_fox> jadakren, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and had been freezing/hangs every 10mins-20 minutes, it's been 3 days and I can't still solve it, mine is Asus F80s laptop... when I use other OS there's no freezing...
[08:12] <arand_> !netsplit
[08:12] <intok> !radeon
[08:13] <rakista> sounds like overheating
[08:13] <atom_fox> ubottu, I hope this will do... already tried many fixes but still the freezing occurs
[08:13] <jmcs> jadakren: I'm using the beaglefs package in the repositories. http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/beaglefs
[08:14] <arand> rakista: You really want to dump people in vim?
[08:14] <BriGe> http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139723800 New website browser.
[08:14] <disappearedng> Anyone here know an inverted index implementation I can use ? I got an open book exam tomorrow
[08:14] <UbuntuN00B> I have a boot problem can anyone help me?
[08:14] <rakista> Vim is a lot easier to use than emacs
[08:14] <ziroday> Hi, I can't get my full 1680x1050 on my external monitor with my radeon 3310
[08:14] <ziroday> Hi, I can't get my full 1680x1050 on my external monitor with my radeon 3410 (RV620)
[08:14] <jadakren> atom_fox, 1) check the temp in your bios feedback screen (if it has one) 2) check that you're not running compiz (if so disable it and try standard metacity) 3) use the system log viewer to review the contents of the various log files found in : /var/log/* ( dmesg and messages in particular )
[08:15] <swiftarrow> UbuntuN00B, what's the problem? Someone may be able to help
[08:15] <arand> rakista: and a lot hared than nano and a nightmare compared to gedit..
[08:15] <rakista> meh, vim will put some hair on their chests, emacs will make them grow beards
[08:15] <jadakren> jmcs, ok does it allow you to for example create a saved search folder that looks for all mp3/ogg/flac files whose artist meta data tag is "So and So"
[08:16] <jmcs> jadakren: yes, it accepts any query beagle-query accepts
[08:16] <jadakren> jmcs, by default i think ubuntu uses tracker (however i do believe the nautilus saved search folder feature can use beagle too)
[08:16] <atom_fox> jadakren, which of files in the /var/log should I read?
[08:17] <rakista> /var/log/messages
[08:17] <UbuntuN00B> swiftarrow I hit ctl+alt+F2 to get out of Ubuntu and then used Sudo Reboot and it rebooted and now it loads Ubunto and then the screen flashes a few times all scrammbled up then stops flashing and all I see now is several Ubuntu logos across the top of the screen and then random scrambled colors at the bottom of the screen.
[08:17] <rakista> Ubuntu you need to rebuild your x.config
[08:17] <jadakren> jmcs, reason i ask is that my previous research on the topic didn't reveal any method to retrieve metadata of a file.
[08:18] <rakista> from yiour command line for nvidia is nvidia-xconfig I think
[08:18] <swiftarrow> UbuntuN00B, see what rakista wrote above
[08:18] <BriGe>  http://www.lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139723800 Please click on this site !
[08:18] <UbuntuN00B> how do I do that?
[08:18] <rakista> Just boot to a command line or switch to another terminal
[08:18] <UbuntuN00B> I have ATI
[08:19] <arand> rakista: atom_fox in fact, for reading log messages, there is a "Log file Viewer" in the System>Administartion menu
[08:20] <UbuntuN00B> rakista how do I boot to command?
[08:20] <rakista> just boot normally and hit alt-f2 to switch to a new terminal
[08:20] <rakista> Than type locate x.conf
[08:20] <rakista> See if you have a backup somewhere
[08:21] <UbuntuN00B> kk let me try
[08:21] <rakista> Get in the habit of backing up x.conf before you make changes
[08:22] <atom_fox> clear
[08:23] <rakista> so messages has no errors immediately before it crashes ?
[08:23] <nixjr> does the owner of a mount point directory matter, if you want to give a different user rw access to that device?
[08:24] <MASARUwota> nixjr: chown
[08:24] <rakista> nix no
[08:24] <rakista> atom_fox listen to your laptop and see if the fan is spinning on your vid card, or do a vivesection on it and watch the fan to see if it turns on
[08:24] <UbuntuN00B> rakista I can't even boot up to even get into a new termial every time after I start it up it goes to the splash screen for ubuntu loading and then after that I get the flashing screen and then the screen with ubuntu logos and alt-F2 wont do anything
[08:25] <iflema> atom_fox so tonight youll test da RAM?
[08:25] <rakista> try alt-f3 and alt-f7
[08:26] <rakista> Alt function keys open up new terminals, for ubuntu x runs on alt-f4 or 5
[08:26] <rakista> It does not sound like ram for atom_fox it sounds like the fan for the cpu or gpu is not spinning up
[08:26] <brijith> nixjr: http://pastebin.com/d9ac7d5a
[08:26] <atom_fox> iflema, how do I do that? From the grub loader there a memtest option is that it?
[08:26] <UbuntuN00B> nope all of them don't work its just a frozen screen with Ubuntu Logos 6 wide and white bars at the bottom like a big barcode
[08:27] <iflema> atom_fox think so.. anyway install cds have the option
[08:27] <atom_fox> rakista, I'm not sure... because my Ram is 4GB.. how do I know if my fan is working?
[08:27] <atom_fox> iflema, ??
[08:27] <brijith> nixjr: I don't it the ownership of a directory matters
[08:27] <rakista> Ubuntu you have two options, you can try to use a rescue disk to mount the hard disk and edit the files or you can just reinstall
[08:27] <nixjr> would someone mind taking a look at this line from my fstab and telling me what ive done wrong? its reporting an error http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d67a46a9
[08:27] <iflema> atom_fox do it while you sleep
[08:28] <atom_fox> iflema, after I do the ram test what do I look for?
[08:28] <rakista> atom_fox listen for it, if you have dual boot check to see if it spins up in windows and not in linux
[08:28] <UbuntuN00B> rakista rescue disk? where do I get that?
[08:28] <iflema> atom_fox ittl report errors if any..... 4gb takes a while
[08:28] <iflema> atom_fox do it while you sleep
[08:28] <brijith> nixjr: ok can you issue mount -a command in you terminal and pastbin it
[08:28] <rakista> Google linux rescue disk or find a liveboot cd
[08:29] <brijith> nixjr: "mount -a"
[08:29] <AdvoWork> hi there, just put a USB flash drive into my pc running ubuntu, its showning it, but unable to mount it. Is there anything I can do?
[08:29] <nixjr> brijith, it just says "[mntent]: line 13 in /etc/fstab is bad" line 13 is what i put in pastebin
[08:29] <iflema> atom_fox atleast then you can rule out the ram
[08:30] <atom_fox> ok...
[08:30] <arand> UbuntuN00B: try booting the recovery option in the grub menu
[08:30] <DasEi> AdvoWork: mount it manually
[08:30] <AdvoWork> DasEi, how?
[08:30] <DasEi> AdvoWork: open trml ..
[08:31] <DasEi> AdvoWork: sudo fdisk -l  to find it's device name
[08:31] <DasEi> AdvoWork: sudo mkdir /media/usbstick
[08:31] <atom_fox> I'm not sure about the fan, I really am not aware, that it could be the cause... I already tried to install the official driver from ATI, but still it freeze. Do you think, that compiz could cause the crash... I can read the messages in the log files but I'm not sure what to look for.
[08:31] <AdvoWork> i think its: /dev/sdb1
[08:31] <UbuntuN00B> arand how do I go about that?
[08:31] <brijith> nixjr: maybe because the mount directory name having space is the issue "/media/movies & games"
[08:31] <atom_fox> iflema, rakista , I'm not sure about the fan, I really am not aware, that it could be the cause... I already tried to install the official driver from ATI, but still it freeze. Do you think, that compiz could cause the crash... I can read the messages in the log files but I'm not sure what to look for.
[08:31] <DasEi> AdvoWork: sudo mount /dev/sdWhatever
[08:31] <DasEi> AdvoWork: sudo mount /dev/sdWhatever /media/usbstick *
[08:32] <DasEi> AdvoWork: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usbstick
[08:32] <iflema> atom_fox heat you say?
[08:32] <AdvoWork> DasEi, ahh, says I must specify the file system type. if its /dev/sdb1               3        2729     4156720    b  W95 FAT32   so thats fat32
[08:33] <atom_fox> iflema, huh?
[08:33] <iflema> atom_fox disable compiz... run 4 1 week without... see.
[08:33] <DasEi> AdvoWork: sudo mount -t fat32 /dev/sdb1 /media/usbstick
[08:33] <brijith>  nixjr: try it after changing the folder name .... Or put quotes over the mount directory like "/media/movies & games"
[08:33] <nixjr> brijith, when ubuntu mounts it automatically, it uses spaces
[08:33] <nixjr> brijith, ah will do
[08:33] <atom_fox> okie... how do I disable it? I can only find remove from the download software options... do I need to remove compiz?
[08:34] <rakista> You are looking for whatever is occuring the moment before it crashes
[08:34] <DasEi> AdvoWork: sudo chown -R /media/usbstick AdvoWork   (or whatever regular username)
[08:34] <arand> UbuntuN00B: when you start the computer you get a boot menu, right?
[08:34] <rakista> So scroll up from boot and look what happens
[08:34] <UbuntuN00B> arand ok Im in the Recovery Menu
[08:34] <iflema> atom_fox System / Preferences / Apperance
[08:34] <UbuntuN00B> ara its a blue and grey screen with options
[08:34] <DasEi> AdvoWork: cd /media/usbstick && ls
[08:35] <arand> UbuntuN00B: first try the recover graphics thing, and see if it has any luck
[08:35] <ziroday> Hi, I can't get my full 1680x1050 on my external monitor with my radeon 3410 (RV620), any ideas?
[08:35] <UbuntuN00B> kk let me look
[08:35] <atom_fox> iflema, and choose non for visual effects?
[08:35] <AdvoWork> DasEi, mount: unknown filesystem type 'fat32' :s
[08:36] <UbuntuN00B> arand ok it did something then put me back into the menu
[08:36] <iflema> atom_fox yes
[08:36] <nixjr> brijith, quoting it had no effect, chnaging the mount point to something without a space worked, however when ubuntu automatically mounts it itself, it uses a mount point with a space, how?
[08:36] <arand> UbuntuN00B: then try starting it
[08:36] <iflema> atom_fox rule out compiz
[08:36] <DasEi> AdvoWork: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usbstick
[08:36] <UbuntuN00B> kk
[08:36] <Tm_T> nixjr: it uses quotation
[08:36] <Tm_T> nixjr: or some other method
[08:37] <Dreamglider> Im trying to attach a Olympus digital voice recorder vn-3100pc to Ubunut, but it's not displayed, lsusb however does reveal "Bus 003 Device 004: ID 07b4:020d Olympus Optical Co., Ltd Digital Voice Recorder VN", trying to attach it to Windows(Virtual box) results in " Result Code:  NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)", um running Ubuntu 8.10.
[08:38] <nixjr> Tm_T, ive tried quotating it, whats another method?
[08:38]  * _Ovidiu is away: Gone away for now
[08:39] <Tm_T> nixjr: replace spaces with "\ " without quotes
[08:39] <iflema> atom_fox fan? heat is a big proble... fereeze for sure... no pun intended
[08:39] <UbuntuN00B> arand nope same problem, try something else?
[08:39] <Tm_T> nixjr: and the & too with \ perhaps
[08:39] <DasEi> ziroday: got the exact model or least the max frequs of that monitor ?
[08:39] <AdvoWork> DasEi,  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.Logs show: kernel: [163037.580880] FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors AND  [163037.580886] VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sdb1.
[08:39] <atom_fox> iflema, is it necessary to use metacity --replace?
[08:39] <atom_fox> iflema, or just disable compiz?
[08:39] <Tm_T> !away > _Ovidiu
[08:39] <DasEi> AdvoWork: so maybe it's fat16, like usb's often have, try :
[08:39] <ziroday> DasEi: no, but I know the monitor can output to 1680x1050 @ 60Hz
[08:39] <arand> Dreamglider: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-207104.html
[08:39] <UbuntuN00B> arand what if I try repair broken packages?
[08:40] <atom_fox> iflema, still there?
[08:41] <DasEi> AdvoWork: sudo mount -t fat /dev/sdb1 /media/usbstick  (or fat 16, not in the manpage no more)
[08:41] <DasEi> fat16*
[08:41] <nixjr> Tm_T, to try and simplify things i got rid of the "&" however using  /media/movies\ games  didnt work either
[08:41] <iflema> atom_fox just disable see if it freezes.. you mentioed a worry about a fan...... big problem on laptops
[08:41] <DasEi> ziroday: second, generating a xorg-section
[08:42] <Tm_T> nixjr: interesting, I'm out of ideas
[08:42] <padhu> DasEi: vfat
[08:42] <arand> UbuntuN00B: could do
[08:43] <Dreamglider> arand: Thanks, ill have a look at that.
[08:43] <arand> UbuntuN00B: if not then use the root terminal and reinstall the graphics drivers, and maybe filesystem-check while you're at it
[08:43] <DasEi> AdvoWork: do you know the fs for sure ?
[08:43] <iflema> atom_fox over-heat will cause freeze
[08:43] <AdvoWork> DasEi, tried all them, says it doesnt know what fat is, fat16 is, or vfat16 (thought id try just incase)
[08:43] <nixjr> Tm_T, thank you for trying, you too brijith
[08:45] <MASARUwota> AdvoWork: automount using pcmanfm or thunar, works for me whenever "mount" lets me down
[08:45] <DasEi> AdvoWork: sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /media/usbstick  , else run gparted to see the actual fs
[08:45] <UbuntuN00B> I did everything on the menu still nothing, how do I get to the terminal before Ubuntu tries to boot up? do I get to it from the recovery menu some how?
[08:45] <MASARUwota> UbuntuN00B: add a '3' to the second row in GRUB (press 'e' when choosing your system)
[08:46] <Steveturner> it appears that all my sound works, I just can't hear it, any help?
[08:46] <MASARUwota> Steveturner: is it muted?
[08:46] <DasEi> http://pastebin.com/f1fb8184f, ziroday,  just use the monitor section
[08:47] <Steveturner> no
[08:47] <Steveturner> I think I'd know that
[08:47] <rakista> recovery menu is for boot problems, I would try a rescue disk
[08:47] <Steveturner> I'm using Karmic on a laptop
[08:47] <MASARUwota> Steveturner: what were you trying to play?
[08:48] <DasEi> ziroday: I assume it's an lcd
[08:48] <UbuntuN00B> MASARUwota whoa I think this is over my head lol, I pressed E when I was hovering over recovery mode now I have 3 options
[08:48] <UbuntuN00B> uuid,   kernal,    intrd
[08:48] <Steveturner> music, TeamSpeak, youtube
[08:48] <Steveturner> nothing
[08:49] <MASARUwota> UbuntuN00B: edit the kernel one, add a 3 to the end of the row
[08:49] <Steveturner> but my mic works, I just can't hear that either
[08:49] <DasEi> AdvoWork: sudo apt-get install gparted && gparted , theen pick the usb to determine filesystem on it
[08:49] <DasEi> ziroday: you know how to handle this ?
[08:49] <MASARUwota> Steveturner: k. try using alsamixer or alsamixergui to make sure its not muted. or try restarting the daemon
[08:49] <arand> UbuntuN00B: from the recovery menu there should be an option root terminal
[08:50] <Steveturner> how do I restart the daemon?
[08:50] <UbuntuN00B> MASARUwota I put 3 after the "single" or at the end of the string of numbers and letters?
[08:50] <ziroday> DasEi: yep, done that already. X refused to start. Trying to get it to work with xrandr now
[08:50] <Steveturner> nothing's muted in alsamixer, I'm sure
[08:50] <AdvoWork> gparted shows it as unknown filesystem, i only really want to format it, its for someone else, for windows 7,, so format to fat32?
[08:50] <MASARUwota> UbuntuN00B: space and a 3, yes
[08:51] <DasEi> AdvoWork: if it lets you, or to ntfs
[08:51] <FeasibilityStudy> AdvoWork: No, doze 7 does not use FAT.  You need NTFS
[08:51] <UbuntuN00B> so space 3 after the string or after single?
[08:51] <arand> MASARUwota: that shouldn't be necessary.
[08:51] <Steveturner> ty very very much btw, MASARUwota. :-)
[08:51] <DasEi> FeasibilityStudy: win 7 doesn't read/write fat32 ???
[08:51] <MASARUwota> AdvoWork: ntfs
[08:51] <MASARUwota> Steveturner:k... hm..
[08:52] <FeasibilityStudy> DasEi: It probably does, but I dont think it installs on FAT
[08:52] <arand> UbuntuN00B: if you start the recovery in the menu there should be a drop to root shell prompt option
[08:52] <FeasibilityStudy> FAT = major suckage
[08:52] <FeasibilityStudy> FAT doesn't even allow for file permissions
[08:52] <MASARUwota> Steveturner: are you a member of the "audio" group?
[08:52] <UbuntuN00B> MASARUwota I put space 3 after the string and hit enter now I'm back to the 3 options uuid, kernal, and intrd
[08:52] <AdvoWork> DasEi, FeasibilityStudy theres no NTFS option, only ext2,ext3, fat16,fat32,xfs
[08:53] <Steveturner> yup, did that a few days ago when I also had sound problems lol
[08:53] <Steveturner> but what's the command?
[08:53] <MASARUwota> UbuntuN00B: it should say "press something to boot"
[08:53] <DasEi> FeasibilityStudy: the other way round, some usb's protest to ntfs or even fat32, and tools like unetbootin require fat
[08:53] <FeasibilityStudy> DasEi: FAT is very outdated -- it doesnt even allow for file permissions.
[08:53] <UbuntuN00B> ara keep that info handy I'm still in another fase might need it if this doesnt work.
[08:54] <atom_fox> iflema, can I show my log file? then can you check what's the problem? It freeze again and I need to force reboot, that's why I'm gone a while ago
[08:54] <FeasibilityStudy> DasEi: In other words, you can run different users on a FAT filesystem
[08:54] <DasEi> FeasibilityStudy: can't, right
[08:54] <beriwal> hello hume
[08:54] <FeasibilityStudy> er.. you CANT run different users
[08:54] <rakista> `windows 7 can read fat32
[08:54] <UbuntuN00B> MASARUwota k I pressed "b" to boot it did its stuff now it put me back into the recovery menu
[08:55] <arand> UbuntuN00B: from the recovery menu there should be an option root terminal
[08:55] <DasEi> AdvoWork: sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs  , restart gparted ( I assume intrepid or newer)
[08:55] <iflema> atom_fox pastebin it give me link.... what log ya rekon
[08:55] <beriwal> hello
[08:55] <arand> UbuntuN00B: or  "drop to root shell prompt option"
[08:55] <UbuntuN00B> arand yes
[08:55] <UbuntuN00B> arandenter it?
[08:56] <arand> UbuntuN00B: yes
[08:56] <DasEi> FeasibilityStudy: exept from hidden or system, ntfs also has no user-privilegs
[08:56] <atom_fox> iflema, pastebin?
[08:56] <UbuntuN00B> arand kk I'm in a command line thing
[08:56] <FeasibilityStudy> DasEi: NTFS allows for file permissions and ACL's, etc.  On FAT, there is no ownership of files or permissions -- it is just a free for all.
[08:56] <beriwal> anybody can solve audio playback problem??
[08:56] <atom_fox> iflema, ok i know it already wait i'll post it :
[08:57] <iflema> atom_fox http://pastebin.com/ im feed'n the boy and gettn him ready for bed but ill be bcak and forward
[08:58] <arand> UbuntuN00B: Try "fsck -fy /dev/sda#" (where # is number of the partition ubuntu is installed to)

[08:59] <AdvoWork> DasEi, its for a friends, photos mainly etc, that kind of thing
[08:59] <Steveturner> MASARUwota?
[08:59] <DasEi> AdvoWork: try fat32 then , on a 4 gig that should suit
[08:59] <iceroot> intok: ato x200m is not a graphic card (for ati) its achipset. have a look at there site for chipset-driver not for vga-driver
[09:00] <arand> UbuntuN00B: then for reinstalling the video driver, first, what is your video card? second, are you using the proprietary or the default driver.
[09:00] <atom_fox> iflema, ok thanks
[09:00] <DasEi> AdvoWork: which distro are you using ?
[09:00] <fresno> I had to load an old version of xp to get the usb modem on line, I really miss my ubuntu eh
[09:00] <UbuntuN00B> arand do I put the # symbol or replace the # symbol?
[09:00] <Myrtti> arand: are you sure -fy flag is a good idea for UbuntuN00B?
[09:00] <atom_fox> iflema, http://pastebin.com/m6e74c65e here's the link
[09:00] <azfira> pangeran ganteng
[09:00] <carcass666> Z-Star Microelectronics Corp ZC0305 Webcam does not work.please help me xubuntu 9.10
[09:01] <Myrtti> arand: I just heard this week about a fellow who trashed their data with it by running on a wrong kind of file system
[09:01] <atom_fox> http://pastebin.com/m6e74c65e my sytem freeze again here's a copy of my log message, i'm not sure what to look for
[09:01] <arand> UbuntuN00B: you could do fdisk -l to list them, the one with an ext filesystem would be the you ubuntu partition
[09:01] <wissman> woow!!
[09:01] <intok> iceroot I know this, but it does have an IGP gpu the RS480
[09:01] <arand> Myrtti: hmm, I have always been using it...
[09:01] <AdvoWork> DasEi, im using ubuntu
[09:01] <DasEi> !version
[09:02] <iflema> atom_fox got it... ill get back to ya
[09:02] <AdvoWork> so still use fat32? the usb will be for windows 7 though
[09:02] <AdvoWork> ok, sec
[09:02] <arand> UbuntuN00B: ok, do just "fsck /dev/sda#" to start with (replace # with a number)
[09:02] <MASARUwota> AdvoWork just use NTFS already, theres not much choice on windows
[09:02] <AdvoWork> DasEi, Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS
[09:02] <Guest73747> WOOHOO!
[09:02] <AdvoWork> MASARUwota, as i said, it wont let me use NTFS see above:errors
[09:03] <Steveturner> MASARUwota, what's up? what's the command to add myself to the sound group
[09:03] <Guest73747> what does sudo stand for?
[09:03] <DasEi> AdvoWork: fat 32 is right for storage / win7, as many usbs don't support ntfs, aah, that's a less developed supply of ntfs, use fat, can try ntfs on the win7 seven machine later, anyway
[09:03] <MASARUwota> Guest73747: super user DO
[09:03] <deuterium> kvm question: if i have 8 gb of ram, how big should i make the swap partition of a kvm _guest_ (not the kvm _host_)?
[09:03] <Guest73747> awesome!
[09:03] <carcass666> Z-Star Microelectronics Corp ZC0305 Webcam does not work.please help me pls
[09:03] <MASARUwota> Guest73747: as in, run a command in root/super user mode
[09:03] <UbuntuN00B> arand its giving me a warning and asking me to hit Y or N to continue
[09:03] <DasEi> !sudo | Guest73747
[09:05] <arand> UbuntuN00B: hang on, don't do the fsck, seems like the FS is mounted in this state
[09:05] <UbuntuN00B> running e2fsck
[09:05] <zend_fan> morning all I have a issue my usb stick has gone Read-only file system Im using ubuntu how can I change this ?
[09:05] <UbuntuN00B> yeah
[09:05] <UbuntuN00B> says its mounted
[09:05] <atom_fox> iflema, thanks..
[09:05] <MASARUwota> !webcam|carcass666
[09:05] <rakista> 8 gig swap should be fine
[09:05] <rakista> if you are sick of typing sudo every time you can type sudo -s
[09:05] <Guest73747> am i able to change my boot screen on 9.10?
[09:05] <arand> UbuntuN00B: do not run it.
[09:05] <DasEi> zend_fan: change ownership of mountdir
[09:05] <zend_fan> how do i do that bit new to linux
[09:05] <DasEi> zend_fan: open trml
[09:05] <zend_fan> yep
[09:05] <arand> Guest73747: MASARUwota: It would be "Switch User DO" actually...
[09:05] <zend_fan> im in media
[09:05] <DasEi> zend_fan: mount              , where is usb mounted ?
[09:05] <Guest73747> oh thanks
[09:05] <MASARUwota> arand: o reilly? damn D:
[09:06] <zend_fan> in /media/
[09:06] <diddy> Is it possible to continue to listen to music under a different user?
[09:06] <diddy> I mean if I log in as A and start some MP3 file, then when I switch users I can no longer listen to the song under a different user.
[09:06] <UbuntuN00B> arand so hit N enter?
[09:06] <Myrtti> UbuntuN00B: did you run it with -fy?
[09:06] <DasEi> zend_fan: just /media ? no /media/usb or sth. ?
[09:06] <MASARUwota> arand: that would explain why "su - <name>" changes to someones username instead of only root.
[09:06] <Myrtti> UbuntuN00B: do NOT run fsck on mounted drive
[09:06] <zend_fan> /media/2CC7-92B5/
[09:06] <zend_fan> thats the usb
[09:06] <Steveturner> MASARUwota?
[09:06] <arand> Guest73747: look ath the grub2 ubuntu wiki
[09:06] <arand> !grub2
[09:06] <MASARUwota> zend_fan: unmount and remount it
[09:07] <Guest73747> oki doo
[09:07] <zend_fan> tried unmounting
[09:07] <MASARUwota> Steveturner: try googling a little, its a generic problem..
[09:07] <UbuntuN00B> Myrtti no didn't use -fy and aborted the process now back to command line
[09:07] <MASARUwota> zend_fan: first unmount, then remount with -o rw
[09:07] <ngirard> Hi all. I'm suffering trying to get vnc to work along with NX between two ubuntu 9.10 boxes. Let's call C the client box and S the server box. I succeeded in starting a regular unix session from C to S, but failed with vnc
[09:07] <DasEi> zend_fan: sudo chown -R zend_fan  (or your regular username) /media/2CC7-92B5
[09:07] <Myrtti> UbuntuN00B: good
[09:07] <ngirard> On S, I wish I could use vino as the vnc server, as it is ubuntu's default. It's up and running, already listening on 5900 port.
[09:07] <ngirard> Still on S, I could get vnc to work locally by starting several vnc clients and connecting to 127.0.0.1:5900. It works
[09:07] <ngirard> So why the hell can't I make it work distantly if it works locally ?
[09:07] <zend_fan> tried chmod 777
[09:07] <AdvoWork> DasEi, urgh, didnt work with fat32 either: Input/output error during write on /dev/sdb
[09:08] <arand> UbuntuN00B: ok, let's instead schedule the fsck for next boot.
[09:08] <DasEi> AdvoWork: try gparted > new parti-table > type msdos
[09:08] <UbuntuN00B> Myrtti I have no idea what I'm doing I'm just letting you guys guid me aimlessly lolz XD
[09:08] <arand> UbuntuN00B: use "touch /forcefsck"
[09:08] <UbuntuN00B> arand how do I do this?
[09:08] <DasEi> zend_fan: 777 could be, less secure, though, but have to -R it (subfolders)
[09:08] <DasEi> man chmod
[09:08] <arand> and then reboot
[09:09] <Myrtti> UbuntuN00B: never hurts to check with google if the commands are safe
[09:09] <DasEi> zend_fan: better own it to regular user
[09:09] <zend_fan> yeah used 777 -R just my usb want to transfer all my files off by as its read only wont let me
[09:09] <UbuntuN00B> arand that command line didn't work
[09:10] <Steveturner> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa
[09:11] <arand> Myrtti: do you know if there is any way to get to the maintenance mode where the root fs isn't mounted?
[09:11] <arand> UbuntuN00B: any errors?
[09:11] <DasEi> zend_fan: sudo chmod -R 777 /media/2.. didn't the trick ? forgot sudo ?
[09:11] <Steveturner> MASARUwota^
[09:11] <Steveturner> woops
[09:11] <UbuntuN00B> arand no such file or directory
[09:11] <Steveturner> The user `steve' is already a member of `audio'.
[09:11] <Steveturner> that
[09:11] <DasEi> AdvoWork: found gparted's option ?
[09:11] <AdvoWork> DasEi, doh, i dont see a type msdos. sorry for all this
[09:12] <DasEi> np
[09:12] <zend_fan> it runs thru but nah dont do it :(
[09:12] <UbuntuN00B> arand oops didn't use a space fter touch now I did it again and it didn't say anything
[09:12] <UbuntuN00B> just a new command line
[09:13] <Myrtti> arand: livecd
[09:13] <UbuntuN00B> arand do i need to restart somehow to see if it worked?
[09:13] <Myrtti> UbuntuN00B: ls /forcefsck
[09:13] <DasEi> AdvoWork: fourth columm from the right, make new partition table
[09:14] <MASARUwota> UbuntuN00B: if it doesnt say anything, then it worked =)
[09:14] <DasEi> AdvoWork: CAREFULL!  select the usb !
[09:15] <UbuntuN00B> Myrtti I used your command and it put a line "/forcefsck" then a new command line
[09:15] <arand> UbuntuN00B: then it was sucessful, now reboot
[09:15] <arand> And let it boot normally
[09:17] <UbuntuN00B> do I coldboot it or use a command to reboot?
[09:17] <racks0r> guys anyone using the new kubuntu-netbook thing?
[09:17] <UbuntuN00B> power button? or command reboot?
[09:17] <DasEi> UbuntuN00B: sudo reboot
[09:19] <arand> Myrtti: true, for fsck it would be one way, but if this one doesn't give any errors the fs should be ok, and we'll have to go into rreinstalling the video drivers, which is simpler from recovery mode
[09:19] <UbuntuN00B> I guess I should mention that every time I shut the computer off I have to turn it on then off then on again just for it to start up I dont know why this is.
[09:20] <UbuntuN00B> like I'll turn it on then it will do nothing then I turn it off then on and I get the beep and everything loads
[09:20] <UbuntuN00B> arand its doing a routine check at the Ubuntu splash screen I guess this is a good thing?
[09:21] <UbuntuN00B> arand the check finished and I still have the same problem with my screen :(
[09:22] <plitter> could someone help me with configuring 2 screens?
[09:22] <plitter> i have a nvidia proprietary driver
[09:22] <arand> UbuntuN00B: ok let's go into recovery again and try reinstalling the video driver.
[09:23] <arand> UbuntuN00B: what is your video card?
[09:23] <UbuntuN00B> I don't know if this all happend when I tried to overclock with Eee aplet and nothing happen so I uninstalled the Eee applet and then rebooted
[09:23] <Husskii> hey guys thanks heaps, all is sorted now :) I passed the permissions bit then hit another brick wall but since I had the permissions to edit the needed file, I was able to complete the install, now I have joomla installed :D
[09:23] <arand> UbuntuN00B: and are you using proprietary or defautl drivers?
[09:23] <UbuntuN00B> arand ATI Radeon 9550 and drivers that Ubuntu gave me.
[09:24] <DasEi> AdvoWork: found it ?
[09:25] <UbuntuN00B> arand I'm in recovery menu
[09:25] <arand> UbuntuN00B: so you installed extra drivers, using the hardware drivers app?
[09:27] <arand> UbuntuN00B: go to root shell again
[09:27] <UbuntuN00B> arand no I didn't install any drivers whatever Ubuntu used by default I guess
[09:27] <UbuntuN00B> arand in root hell
[09:27] <UbuntuN00B> shell*
[09:28] <UbuntuN00B> well to me its hell lolz
[09:29] <Xaero252> so pretty much the weirdest issue I have ever seen, I just installed a virt-manager and created a virtual machine and installed XP on it, I used the XP install & my xp disc in conjunction with N-Lite to create an AHCI compatible XP install disc for use on a PC build for a friend, and when I went to burn it, I am now unable to burn cd images; prior to installing the virtualization software, I had just burned an Ubuntu disc since my frien
[09:29] <MASARUwota> !doesntwork|Xaero252
[09:29] <Xaero252> Masaru, read what I typed
[09:29] <Xaero252> nice try
[09:29] <MASARUwota> Xaero252: :/ what did it say
[09:30] <Xaero252> I pastebin'd what it reported, it just simply said it was "Unable to burn the CD/DVD image"
[09:30] <Xaero252> There was more meat than me just saying "Ubuntu doesn't work when I try to burn a cd"
[09:31] <UbuntuN00B> arand what do I do when I'm in the root shell?
[09:31] <arand> UbuntuN00B: hang on..
[09:31] <MASARUwota> Xaero252: wheres the
[09:31] <UbuntuN00B> arand kk
[09:31] <MASARUwota> the pastebin

[09:32] <Xaero252> right at the end
[09:32] <arand> UbuntuN00B: first, just to make sure
[09:33] <arand> UbuntuN00B: "dpkg -l | grep fglrx" gives just the modaliases package right?

[09:37] <MASARUwota> faheem_: use lighter tools and a lighter WM

[09:43] <BadSTuff> hi. i have a dell vostro 1720 with karmic installed. recently i noticed that the hard drive never spins down. even if i run hdparm -Y /dev/sda, it does spin down, but spins up again a few seconds later. any ideas what might cause this?
[09:43] <james_> anyone here a good artist or good with gimp or xsane?
[09:43] <zvacet> !ot | james
[09:43] <UbuntuN00B> arand kk let me do that
[09:43] <arand> UbuntuN00B: and then "aptitude install xorg-driver-fglrx"
[09:44] <arand> UbuntuN00B: IRC is on a bit of lag for me, bue I'm still here
[09:44] <james_> i need a tattoo drawn for me
[09:44] <james_> but i can draw too well myself
[09:44] <james_> *cant draw too well myself
[09:44] <faheem_> also another problem i have been having is as soon as i update to 9.10 ubuntu my tocuhpad stops working, does anyone else have this issue?
[09:45] <DJones> james_: This is the wrong channel to ask for that, its a support only channel
[09:45] <neil_d> I just got a new webcam "Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04f2:a147 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd"  http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/#download says it is supported :)   but it doesn't seem to be working.. how can I test it?
[09:45] <UbuntuN00B> arand k it freed up space and uninstalled 7 files I think. its asking me to continue
[09:47] <DasEi> neil_d: install sane, see if gets detected, and also look in /var/log/syslog after restarting /dbus avahi ..
[09:48] <UbuntuN00B> arand k its installing drivers
[09:48] <UbuntuN00B> arand now im at a new command line again.
[09:48] <znh> Hello channel. I'd like to archieve microphone loopback to my headphones. Anyone willing to guide me through?
[09:49] <neil_d> DasEi: xsane says "Failed to open device 'v4l:/dev/vider0': Invalid argument"
[09:49] <arand> do that, [y]
[09:50] <iflema> atom_fox do ati 3d drivers setup a xorg.conf? /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:51] <Xfact> hello?
[09:52] <DJones> !hi | Xfact
[09:52] <arand> neil_d: DasEi: I would say use cheese instead to test webcam, xsane has had problems with webcams which worked otherwise for me
[09:52] <UbuntuN00B> arand shound I sudo reboot after I installing drivers?
[09:52] <znh> Xfact, hello!
[09:52] <_DarkStar_> hi...
[09:52] <arand> UbuntuN00B: so you've removed and unistalled sucessfully?
[09:52] <GutZuWiSSeN> anyone installed ZendServer on ubuntu?
[09:53] <Xfact> znh: hi
[09:53] <pjoshi> how to create a new IRC chat room ??
[09:53] <MASARUwota> !hi|_DarkStar_
[09:54] <MASARUwota> pjoshi: join an empty one
[09:54] <MASARUwota> !ot|pjoshi
[09:54] <maxagaz> after changing /boot/grub/menu.lst, do i need to restart grub ?
[09:54] <arand> yea, just "reboot" (since in recovery you are already root)
[09:54] <UbuntuN00B> arand I removed and installed now waiting at command line
[09:54] <UbuntuN00B> arand k
[09:55] <Slart> pjoshi: it's a little different depending on the irc server software.. usually if you join an empty room it is created just for you.. sometimes you have to talk to the server admins
[09:55] <rww> pjoshi: to create one, just /join to it. To register it, see /msg chanserv help. Please ask IRC network-related questions in #freenode.
[09:55] <Xfact> I've made my first video on ubuntu desktop to help people, what you think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH4ZkiSMNwA (I am thinking about to make more)
[09:55] <pjoshi> sorry.. for the trouble.. thanks for all the info..
[09:56] <UbuntuN00B> arand nope same messed up screen :(
[09:57] <_DarkStar_> what are you trying to do UbuntuN00B?
[09:57] <MASARUwota> Xfact: jiggling around with compiz?
[09:57] <arand> pjoshi: join a unused channelname
[09:57] <iflema> atom_fox model F80S is this correct?
[09:58] <neil_d> I have a new webcam.  lsusb = "Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04f2:a147 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd"   http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/#download indicates I need the uvcvideo driver..  "lsmod | grep uvc -"  indicates it is loaded.. but xsane says "Failed to open device 'v4l:/dev/video0': Invalid argument."   what is wrong ?
[09:58] <UbuntuN00B> _DarkStar_ every time I start up Ubuntu after the splash screen and loading it flashes a messed up screen then it shows a screen with like 6 Ubuntu logos and at the bottom its like a white and black stipped effect like a barcode
[09:58] <Xfact> >>>
[09:59] <arand> _DarkStar_: Random hiccup seems to have borked video drivers.
[10:03] <MecTon> yooooooooooooo
[10:03] <MASARUwota> Xfact: ?
[10:03] <MASARUwota> Xfact: i think explaining how LINUX works, instead of moving around with compiz windows, is more usefull.  imho
[10:03] <_DarkStar_> i had the same problem lol..
[10:03] <_DarkStar_> though i just kept reinstalling :P
[10:03] <atom_fox> iflema, yup :)
[10:03] <atom_fox> sorry for the late reply
[10:03] <_DarkStar_> i actually still have the problem
[10:03] <_DarkStar_> leaving my laptop to idle... it does that
[10:03] <_DarkStar_> i shake the mouse its fine lol
[10:03] <iflema> atom_fox :(
[10:03] <MecTon> il n'y a qu'une seule salle ?
[10:03] <MecTon> pkoi le Lag augmente ?
[10:04] <MASARUwota> !fr|MecTon
[10:04] <iflema> atom_fox know issuse with this model... straight from the hourses mouth ASUS
[10:04] <iflema> atom_fox problem with windows... problems full stop... what is the bios version you are on???
[10:04] <MASARUwota> MecTon: /join #ubuntu-fr
[10:04] <UbuntuN00B> arand I'm running the recovery cd just to see what happens maybe it will fix it and save us both the trouble if not then well I guess Im going to be out of luck huh?
[10:06] <atom_fox> iflema, I'm sorry I don't understand :(
[10:06] <atom_fox> iflema, maybe I'll reboot first so I would know my bios?
[10:06] <arand> UbuntuN00B: From now on I don't know what to do, if you want to get to the files on the ubuntu install, you could use a livecd to copy them out. And then reinstall the whole thing. But someone else might have better suggestions on how to fix it.
[10:07] <iflema> atom_fox google f80s freeze the first result 4 me is DO NOT BUY asus F80S
[10:07] <atom_fox> iflema, i think 8.14 is my BIOS version
[10:08] <chipzy> hi
[10:08] <atom_fox> iflema, my f80s works fine in windows, slackware... I've used it for a yea, never experience any freeze
[10:09] <MASARUwota> iflema, i get other results :|
[10:09] <UbuntuN00B> arand livecd?
[10:09] <iflema> atom_fox that helps
[10:09] <MASARUwota> !livecd
[10:09] <atom_fox> i mean for a year, I don't experience any freeze
[10:10] <atom_fox> iflema, http://pastebin.com/m604bcc21
[10:10] <some-random> i've just installed ubuntu, but nothing shows on the monitor, "input not supported" - how can I get around this
[10:10] <some-random> windows and opensuse run fine on this machien
[10:11] <iflema> atom_fox if youve been cruising for a year+ its not the bios
[10:12] <atom_fox> yup :)
[10:12] <atom_fox> iflema, the freezing only occurs here on 9.10
[10:12] <no_mind> I am creating a raid 1 array on ubuntu and get this error "mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sda1: Device or resource busy" what could be wrong ?
[10:12] <atom_fox> in experience an hour ago when I try to run ktorrent, xchat, firefox at the same time... that was the last freeze I had today
[10:12] <neil_d> I have a new webcam.  lsusb = "Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04f2:a147 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd"   http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/#download indicates I need the uvcvideo driver..  "lsmod | grep uvc -"  indicates it is loaded.. but xsane says "Failed to open device 'v4l:/dev/video0': Invalid argument."   what is wrong ?
[10:12] <MASARUwota> some-random: when does this show up? during boot?
[10:12] <atom_fox> iflema, in my experience an hour ago when I try to run ktorrent, xchat, firefox at the same time... that was the last freeze I had today
[10:12] <Myrtti> xsane?
[10:12] <Myrtti> neil_d: why are you trying with xsane?
[10:12] <iflema> atom_fox some say it comes and goes..
[10:13] <MASARUwota> atom_fox KTORRENT? a QT bloated piece of software on a GNOME environment? :|
[10:13] <neil_d> Myrtti: someone said I could test with that..
[10:13] <disappearedng> anyway to tell openoffice presntation to output text in ascii?
[10:13] <Myrtti> neil_d: you might have ekiga installed, try with that. or vlc
[10:14] <iflema> atom_fox and stock live environments do the same?
[10:14] <neil_d> Myrtti: vlc is working fine...
[10:14] <arand> UbuntuN00B: the normal CD by which you install ubuntu, the "live" environment you get when choosing "try without change"
[10:14] <Myrtti> neil_d: you tried with "open capture device"?
[10:15] <nixjr> im going through a guide on ubuntuguide.org which tells me to goto System -> Administration-> Advanced ... however i have no "advanced" in my administration menu
[10:15] <atom_fox> iflema, stock live?
[10:16] <atom_fox> iflema, what's that?
[10:16] <UbuntuN00B> arand ahh kk thanks :)
[10:16] <iflema> atom_fox a live cd... say ubuntu 9.10 booted live... does it hang?
[10:16] <atom_fox> nope...
[10:16] <iflema> atom_fox positive....?
[10:16] <atom_fox> iflema, it works fine on the live cd...
[10:17] <iflema> atom_fox process of elimination... its really hard to say.
[10:17] <atom_fox> I never experience freezing in the live cd... maybe I'll try to use it for a week?
[10:17] <mezitan> mezitan
[10:17] <UbuntuN00B> arand yeah the recovery cd wasnt much help I'm going to attempt this livecd thing
[10:17] <MASARUwota> atom_fox: maybe install a different distro?
[10:17] <atom_fox> iflema, did you find anything that could help from the copy of log I gave you?
[10:18] <Quan-Time_> i have just installed a USB DVB-t dongle.. it detects and works fine,, BUT i cant scan channels. i tried "w_scan".. anyone know of anything else which might help me get a channel list ? im using me-tv
[10:18] <iflema> atom_fox a day or two... stick with whats there...transmission, empathy etc..
[10:18] <Slart> nixjr: do you have an url to that guide?
[10:18] <Quan-Time_> i have just installed a USB DVB-t dongle.. it detects and works fine,, BUT i cant scan channels. i tried "w_scan".. anyone know of anything else which might help me get a channel list ? im using me-tv
[10:18] <mezitan> wo lai la
[10:18] <MASARUwota> mezitan?
[10:19] <atom_fox> ok, for now I'll check and observe if the system freeze when I use it in live cd
[10:19] <nixjr> Slart, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty#Associate_default_applications
[10:19] <Slart> !cn | mezitan
[10:19] <atom_fox> iflema, but I'm really thinking that it's related with the hardware driver of ATI, I'n just not sure about it.
[10:19] <dfgdfgdf> hello
[10:20] <dfgdfgdf> have anyone make HP DV6 remote control work with ubuntu?
[10:20] <Quan-Time_> dfgdfgdf: nope.. but i just got my dinovo mini workin ;)
[10:20] <iflema> atom_fox so run without it... /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace flgrlx with vesa... leave compiz disabled
[10:21] <iflema> atom_fox under the device section i think it is
[10:21] <mezitan> ok!thank you very much.
[10:21] <atom_fox> ??
[10:21] <atom_fox> iflema, what do you mean in the device section?
[10:22] <UbuntuN00B> okay Im in Live CD now so what do I do to back things up? I don't see any of my original files and programs?
[10:22] <iflema> atom_fox gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:22] <Slart> nixjr: I don't have a jaunty machine available at the moment.. I don't really remember an advanced menu in the system administration menu.. but I might be wrong
[10:22] <MASARUwota> UbuntuN00B: what DO you want to backup?
[10:22] <Quan-Time_> UbuntuN00B: ok.. you wanna back up your windows partition ? is that what you mean ?
[10:22] <tokk1> Hello, Im totally new with ubuntu and yesterday when I was installing some drivers I suddenly got this msg: E: Rad 54 i källistan /etc/apt/sources.list har fel format (dist-tolkning)
[10:22] <tokk1> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[10:22] <tokk1> Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
[10:22] <tokk1> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[10:22] <arand> UbuntuN00B: If I was being diffuse, I meant you can use the liveCD to make backups of any important files, and then do a complete new install of ubuntu.
[10:22] <FloodBot2> tokk1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:22] <znh> Anyone experience with a virtualized Ubuntu Desktop environment on decent high-end hardware?
[10:23] <UbuntuN00B> I want to be able to reinstall 9.04 and put all the files and programs back on without having to manually find them all again.
[10:23] <Slart> !anyone | znh
[10:23] <MASARUwota> tokk1, please translate the message or visit the corresponding language channel (i.e. #ubuntu-de for german)
[10:23] <nixjr> Slart, ive only had ubuntu two days so please excuse my ignorance, but is it worth changing to something other then jaunty?
[10:23] <MASARUwota> znh: you mean vmware/vbox/qemu? yes
[10:23] <tokk1> yeah just saw that it was in swedish, thx
[10:24] <atom_fox> iflema, ok now I get it... I'll observe it for now...
[10:24] <MASARUwota> tokk1 sorry, i suck at identifying scandinavian languages :X
[10:24] <atom_fox> iflema, you really had been a great help to me... :)
[10:24] <atom_fox> iflema, thanks for your time..
[10:24] <znh> MASARUwota, I'm thinking of remote administrating a Ubuntu Desktop using my laptop as thin client. What do think, is this a good idea?
[10:24] <garymc> anyone know why my account is opening a location launcher in GEDIT instead of firefox?
[10:24] <UbuntuN00B> arand thats fine I just need to know where to find the file/programs to back up before doing so
[10:24] <Slart> nixjr: it depends... 9.10 is newer.. 9.04 had some issues with intel graphics cards amongst other things.. 9.10 has issues with some things as well...
[10:24] <garymc> any other account opens it in firefox
[10:24] <atom_fox> iflema, I hope this could be fix... because it's really annoying especially when I'm in the middle of something important
[10:25] <ulaas> hi, what is the best way to assign eth0 name to any adapter i choose on 9.10
[10:25] <MASARUwota> znh: sure. im not a fan of thin clients. (i would do a minimal install of a distro on that laptop instead). but go ahead =)
[10:25] <Slart> nixjr: but both are less than a year old.. so it's not really a problem
[10:25] <arand> UbuntuN00B: if you look in the file manager you should be able to see the ubuntu drive and browse it
[10:26] <znh> MASARUwota, I'm in doubt because of the network delay and not knowing native clients for the desktop
[10:26] <MASARUwota> garymc: edit the launcher
[10:26] <garymc> MASARUwota the launcher works fine on all other accounts just not mine
[10:26] <MASARUwota> znh: the lag can be pretty horrible sometimes. My dad has a thinclient with XP. when someone is downloading stuff its so sloc..
[10:26] <arand> UbuntuN00B: the home/username folder might be of interest to copy
[10:27] <MASARUwota> garymc: press ALT-F2 and type firefox. does that work?
[10:27] <nixjr> Slart, i only picked 0.04 because i had it on cd and it saved me having to download anything, your saying even with 9.10 it dosnt mean i wont have issues?
[10:27] <Steveturner> MASARUwota, I think you can help me. I'm trying to reinstall my sound drivers, and in the readme, it says to edit my modules.conf in /etc/ or modprobe.conf depending on my distribution
[10:27] <Steveturner> but I don't see either
[10:27] <znh> MASARUwota, the network would be a dedicated gigabit line
[10:27] <Steveturner> I just see a modules
[10:27] <Steveturner> but it's not .conf
[10:27] <FloodBot2> Steveturner: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:28] <MASARUwota> Steveturner: hmm ubuntu doesnt use that afaik
[10:28] <garymc> MASARUwota that just launches firefox. firefox works fine just this launcher is loading gedit
[10:28] <Slart> nixjr: 9.10 is far from perfect.. but the next version 10.04 will be a LTS version.. that means it will have longer support and is supposed to be more stable
[10:28] <Steveturner> Idk what afaik is, what should I do right now?
[10:28] <MASARUwota> garymc: then change the command that the launcher uses
[10:28] <Slart> nixjr: you can just wait until april and upgrade then
[10:28] <arand> UbuntuN00B: http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/restore_packages_using_dselectupgrade/ has a nice guide on how to backup a list of all installed applications to reinstall again
[10:28] <MASARUwota> Steveturner: as far as i know. does sound work with other distributions of linux?
[10:28] <Steveturner> I see other files that are .conf though
[10:29] <nixjr> Slart, can i do that without reformatting my system?
[10:29] <Steveturner> uhh, I haven't tried to use any other distributions of Linux
[10:29] <MASARUwota> Steveturner: why not?? :S
[10:29] <Slart> nixjr: you can usually just upgrade "in place".. without loosing any files
[10:29] <garymc> MASARUwota yeah i do but it keeps showing on my account as application not location. I load up other account and it shows location. (This is an LTSP server with various accounts)
[10:29] <Steveturner> are you talking about like... switching from Ubuntu to something else?
[10:29] <atom_fox> iflema, it happend agagin
[10:29] <MASARUwota> garymc: that doesnt make any sense
[10:29] <garymc> just mine doesnt work
[10:29] <atom_fox> iflema, i just came from another freeze, i had to reboot again
[10:30] <MASARUwota> Steveturner: trying out another distro, yes
[10:30] <iflema> Quan-Time install dvb-apps and use scan.. initial tuning data for your location is located @ /usr/share/dvb/
[10:30] <MASARUwota> Steveturner: linux mint is ubuntu based
[10:30] <atom_fox> iflema, I try to run Ktorrent... after a minute the system goes freeze again
[10:30] <garymc> MASARUwota I know. But i had this problem a while back and since then ive done a fresh install and my account is doing the same thing. But last time someone here solved it for me
[10:30] <atom_fox> iflema, what do you think?
[10:30] <iflema> atom_fox yeah man tonight for sure test that ram..
[10:30] <MASARUwota> atom_fox: qt takes up too much memory or processing power
[10:30] <Steveturner> so you think I should switch to Linux mint? how about redhat? what are the differences? Kubuntu?
[10:30] <iflema> Quan-Time scan with a program called scan
[10:31] <MASARUwota> Steveturner, ill private message you
[10:31] <Steveturner> ok
[10:31] <atom_fox> MASARUwota, so it means it is the cause of the freeze?
[10:31] <atom_fox> MASARUwota, what do you suggest? use other torrent apps?
[10:32] <garymc> MASARUwota : Just to let you know these launchers I created and put in a share folder so they appear on all users desktops. Its just my desktop (where I created them in my account) that they dont work on
[10:32] <mobi-sheep> !mintsupport | Steveturner FYI
[10:32] <atom_fox> MASARUwota, ??
[10:32] <iflema> Quan-Time_ install dvb-apps and use scan.. initial tuning data for your location is located @ /usr/share/dvb/
[10:33] <nixjr> in terms of keyboard shortcuts, what is <super> ?
[10:33] <MASARUwota> nixjr: windows key
[10:33] <MASARUwota> atom_fox: yeah, deluge or transmission if you need n interface
[10:34] <chipzy> dw
[10:34] <nixjr> MASARUwota, ah thanks
[10:34] <iflema> Quan-Time or cheat and install kaffeine
[10:34] <atom_fox> MASARUwota, now I get it... I did not notice and think that it could be the cause... is that really possible?
[10:35] <MASARUwota> atom_fox: QT is pretty heavy
[10:35] <papul> hi guys
[10:35] <MASARUwota> !hi|papul
[10:35] <Quan-Time_> iflema: cheers.. ill try it
[10:36] <iflema> Quan-Time_ or cheat and install kaffeine
[10:36] <garymc> MASARUwota : I also noticed it is when i make the location http://localhost/admin it doesnt work on my account but if i make the location eg http://www.google.com it works fine???????/
[10:36] <MASARUwota> garymc: use "firefox <url>" instead
[10:36] <garymc> what would it be?
[10:37] <Quan-Time_> iflema: lots of errors.. time to hit google up
[10:38] <papul> MASARUwota: instead of telling the bot u could say hi directly. i am not new here
[10:38] <garymc> MASARUwota : How would i put the firefox url in for localhost?
[10:38] <UbuntuN00B> arand I found the list of programs and saved them to a .txt file Im not sure how I will use that to reinstall when the time comes
[10:38] <atom_fox> iflema, MASARUwota suggested that it's the Ktorrent causing the freeze.. he said it took a lot of memory
[10:39] <MASARUwota> atom_fox QT can take a lot of memory
[10:39] <atom_fox> maybe I'll try to use other apps, but still observe what happens to the system :)
[10:39] <atom_fox> MASARUwota, thank you so much..
[10:39] <MASARUwota> papul :|
[10:39] <papul> qt??? quick time??
[10:40] <mib> hi @all,  i wanted to make a php update from version 5.1.2 to v5.3.1 on my vserver; therefore i downloaded the source files and compiled i on my own then "make install" and all seems fine //  i´ve done this cause when i use "apt-get" it seems that the latest version i get  is 5.1.2
[10:40] <MASARUwota> papul: having said that DOES make you seem new. QT as in Q toolkit, the toolkit that KDE uses, for example.
[10:40] <papul> yeah i know
[10:40] <papul> was just testing ;)
[10:40] <papul> u
[10:40] <MASARUwota> garymc "firefox http://localhost/<w/e>"
[10:40] <MASARUwota> papul :|
[10:41] <atom_fox> iflema, still there?
[10:41] <mib> when i ask phpinfo, it tells me that my actuall running version is still 5.1.2, cause i didn´t tell hi what version he should use for php5
[10:41] <papul> ^_^
[10:41] <mib> php -v  --> V5.3.1
[10:41] <mib> php5 -v --> 5.1.2
[10:41] <arand> UbuntuN00B: instructions are in the blog
[10:41] <kuchi> std: php
[10:42] <mib> can anybody tell me how i cann use my new version for php5
[10:42] <kuchi> pgp5 is one of the isntalled versions
[10:42] <MASARUwota> mib apt-get upgrade? lol
[10:42] <kuchi> *php5
[10:42] <mib> done this, but then he installt the older version 5.1.2
[10:43] <papul> is there any channel here for tor?
[10:43] <mib> thats why i´ve tried it "manually"
[10:43] <garymc> MASARUwota : that didnt seem to work. I will take out the <w/e> bit and see if that works
[10:43] <MASARUwota> papul: what do you need tor for? CP?
[10:43] <DJones> 7906
[10:43] <DJones> sorry, wring window
[10:43] <MASARUwota> garymc: i mean that you should replace <w/e> with whatever you want to put there
[10:44] <garymc> like admin?
[10:44] <MASARUwota> garymc: i guess
[10:44] <papul> MASARUwota: i am actively using tor. i just want to know if any channel is available
[10:44] <papul> garymc: what exactly do u want to do?
[10:44] <MASARUwota> papul: #tor is alive, let me check its official channel
[10:45] <MASARUwota> papul: try #tor on irc.oftc.net
[10:45] <garymc> MASARUwota thats seems to do the trick thanks alot
[10:45] <papul> MASARUwota: yes got it
[10:45] <MASARUwota> garymc np =)
[10:45] <garymc> i just need to check other accounts now
[10:45] <garymc> thanks
[10:47] <MASARUwota> papul, tor is banned on quite some irc networks, i see

[10:50] <MASARUwota> Guest21124 > choosing "google imap" as a type during new account creation doesnt work?
[10:53] <arand> papul: you can use tor on freenode, but you have to jump a few hoops and wait a fair while for validation first: http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml#tor
[10:56] <papul> arand: yeah i did that. but haven't got reply from freenode
[10:57] <MASARUwota> papul: your username and pass hashed together?

[11:06] <UbuntuN00B> arand k its reinstalling now hopefully it follows through without a hiccup lol
[11:07] <theadmin> I've got a weird question. GNOME restarts now and then, and I can't figure what is the cause. even if I repeat all the same things, it all usually goes fine. It doesn't happen often, but is quite annoying.
[11:07] <theadmin> So... what can be the cause?
[11:07] <songer> hello,
[11:08] <songer> how can i make zoomon moovida?
[11:08] <luke> theadmin: It could be any number of things, hardware and software
[11:08] <AdvoWork> DasEi, I cant, it wont let me make a new partition table on the usb, its greyed out
[11:09] <theadmin> luke: Well, it kinda brings me back to GDM. I'm not sure it's called "restarting"
[11:09] <luke> theadmin: You should try putting it on the forum, including everything you know... I can't really help you, but one of the guys on there should be able too
[11:10] <znh> can I install Ubuntu 9.10 on latest XenServer?
[11:10] <luke> Sounds like software to me, if you can't find a solution, reinstalling the OS should work
[11:10] <theadmin> luke: Okay, will do someday, right now I'm kinda too busy to.
[11:10] <znx^> can some1 help me with a bit of a problem?
[11:10] <znx^> My firestarter keeps detecting something on port 80 and i keep getting thrown offline.. :S have no idea what to do..
[11:10] <theadmin> luke: Reinstalling is not a kinda thing I'd like to do... well, I'll be going with a clean Lucid install once it's ready anyway
[11:11] <sohryu> theadmin: try to replace the version of gdm using synaptic
[11:11] <znh> znx^, likely suffering from a attack. sit it out or contact your ISP
[11:11] <Aiya> how do i excute a file in terminal ?
[11:11] <luke> what file do you want to execute?
[11:11] <theadmin> Aiya: Execute as a program, then ./filename (note that you have to chmod +x filename first)
[11:12] <Aiya> execute “tar xvzf hsdpa-linux-driver.tar.gz”
[11:12] <theadmin> Aiya: Just type that stuff there :/
[11:12] <Aiya> ok
[11:12] <luke> Aiya: Might need to put sudo before it
[11:12] <coz_> Aiya,  you may want to extract that file first  to see if there is a  README  file inside
[11:13] <Aiya> its dont have readme in there~
[11:13] <coz_> Aiya,  do you have a link for that package?
[11:13] <Aiya> yeah~

[11:16] <Aiya> I want to execute the secondary package~
[11:16] <Aiya> coz_ : I want to execute the secondary package~
[11:16] <coz_> Aiya,   ok the PDF included in there has an Install  section
[11:17] <coz_> Aiya, ok the PDF file has an INstall section

[11:22] <Aiya> ops sorry im new
[11:22] <Umeaboy> Hi!
[11:22] <coz_> Aiya,   you need to pastebin.com  all of that  so that it doesnt tie up the channel :)
[11:22] <AdvoWork> DasEi, not mounted, just checked :S
[11:22] <Umeaboy> Anyone who knows why GRUB is still in beta-mode?
[11:22] <Aiya> what is the pastebin url?
[11:22] <DasEi> !paste
[11:22] <psycho_oreos> !pastebin | Aiya
[11:23] <Umeaboy> I can't boot either Mandriva or Winblows 7.
[11:23] <coz_> Aiya,   you need to check the name of the secondary package in that LInux folder to be sure it is the same name as the PDF  references
[11:23] <Aiya> how do i check it?
[11:23] <coz_> Aiya,  I noticed the name given to the secondary pacakge in the PDF file is not the  same as the one you actually have so
[11:24] <Aiya> so how?
[11:24] <Aiya> I confuse~
[11:24] <DasEi> AdvoWork: strange thing you got there, if you rightclick the partiton ('unallocated') in gparted, get any choices ?
[11:24] <coz_> Aiya,  the part that asks you to   tar xvzg hsdpa   after you have type that much hit the tab key on the keyboard to complete the correct name
[11:26] <coz_> Aiya,  out of curiosity this appears to be a modem driver....are you having issues?
[11:27] <Aiya> yes
[11:27] <Aiya> :(
[11:27] <coz_> ok
[11:27] <coz_> Aiya,  how far did you get with the installation and are you sure this is the correct driver?
[11:27] <bill_> I am trying to tether my Blackberry to my PC, I hope it will use the Blackberry's 3G modem

[11:29] <isolat3dsh33p> did they upgraded compiz? My firefox has transparent background. :/

[11:30] <Guest59543> is anybody here who could help me my webcam on skype workin. Video on it is goin green and i am going crazy. I have Ubuntu 9.10. I was googling around but most of the stuff what i read don't understand becouse of my begginer skills. On other application the webcam is workin, so i know there has to be the way to make skype  workin with webcam too. Soo please is there somebody?
[11:31] <disappearedng> Hey is there a method that will try remove non-alphanumeric characters from a word like "ha.haha" -> "hahaha"
[11:33] <Steveturner> every time I try to use my webcam it says that I don't have libmimic installed, but synaptic package manager says otherwise, what should I do? I'm currently using the latest version of Ubuntu, Karmic on a laptop (not with a webcam attached though, I want to see other people's webcam)
[11:33] <bill_> Guest59543, which version of Skype are you using?
[11:33] <isolat3dsh33p> disappearedng, regular expression.
[11:33] <MASARUwota> disappearedng: learn VI(m) or emacs
[11:33] <JediMaster> Is there a way to remove ubuntu-desktop? I've apt-get removed it but I can't autoremove the dependancies any ideas?
[11:33] <JediMaster> (got a very low spec machine that is basically now just a server and it's getting clogged up with gnome)
[11:33] <bazhang> JediMaster, you want purekde or something else
[11:33] <JediMaster> bazhang, just command line
[11:34] <MASARUwota> JediMaster > apt-get autoremove ?
[11:34] <UbuntuN00B> besides tons of free applications and near virus proof whats the major benifit for haveing Ubuntu OS over any other and besides it being free as well.
[11:34] <disappearedng> oh sorry wrong channel
[11:34] <MASARUwota> JediMaster: i suggest reinstalling a minimal system
[11:34] <Myrtti> UbuntuN00B: possibility to adjust it to your needs ad nauseatum
[11:34] <bill_> SteveTurner, which webcam do you have?
[11:34] <JediMaster> MASARUwota, already tried that, it seems to have selected them
[11:34] <Steveturner> I don't have a webcam
[11:35] <Steveturner> I want to see other ppl's webcam
[11:35] <DasEi> JediMaster: sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-desktop, then sudo init 1, from there : sudo apt-get auoremove , sudo apt-get clean
[11:35] <Steveturner> but it says I need libmimic, and I got that
[11:35] <JediMaster> MASARUwota, not really an option as it's in a remote office
[11:35] <DasEi> auto*..
[11:35] <UbuntuN00B> Myrtti yeah
[11:35] <bazhang> JediMaster, all the gnome packages are here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE
[11:35] <JediMaster> bazhang, ta
[11:35] <bill_> Steveturner ...got it....which program are you using to view other's webcams?
[11:35] <Steveturner> emeseme
[11:36] <Steveturner> emesene
[11:36] <Steveturner> my bad
[11:36] <bill_> AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
[11:36] <Steveturner> ?
[11:36] <Steveturner> that's why?
[11:36] <starykomputer> hi
[11:36] <starykomputer> anyone knows how to make HP remote control work with linux?
[11:36] <UbuntuN00B> question I'm reinstalling all my packages right now would that make my pc brick again if i had a problem with it being bricked in the firstplace?
[11:36] <DasEi> JediMaster: and also remove gdm ( and others, if existing)
[11:36] <bill_> Steveturn>>Dude...I've had so much trouble with that....have you tried Skype?
[11:36] <Steveturner> mmm, I guess I could try
[11:37] <Steveturner> so... I'm not the only one, ok
[11:37] <MASARUwota> ekiga > skype
[11:37] <bill_> It works,,,,,,out the box!
[11:37] <JediMaster> DasEi, I've already apt-get removed ubuntu-desktop and autoremove doesn't get rid of gnome
[11:37] <UbuntuN00B> scratch that I need to ask that better lol
[11:37] <DasEi> UbuntuN00B: hard to say , as reinstalling won't touch your older config
[11:37] <Steveturner> bill_, don't you agree that emesene is the best windows msn look-alike? I don't really like aMSN or Pidgin and all that other stuff much
[11:37] <DasEi> JediMaster: same with gdm
[11:37] <AdvoWork> DasEi, the unallocated bit only shows as 4mb, underneath that shows sdb1 with 3.96gb
[11:38] <bill_> SteveturnerI recommend using Skype 2.0...the new Skype has a few issues
[11:38] <JediMaster> DasEi, will try that, ta
[11:38] <Steveturner> ok.
[11:38] <DasEi> AdvoWork: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[11:38] <UbuntuN00B> DasEi I guess once its finishes with its batch install thing from the terminal then I will know lol just hope its not the hard way.
[11:38] <bill_> Steveturner....yeh it's ok.,...but I have never been able to get the webcam working on it though
[11:38] <iflema> starykomputer is it a media centre remote?
[11:39] <DasEi> AdvoWork: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit           ,give url here
[11:39] <Umeaboy> Does anyone here use both Winblows & Ubuntu on same HDD?
[11:39] <bill_> Steveturner.....if you can't find the package for Skype2.0 email me @BillSclater@hotmail.com, and I can mail you the package
[11:40] <DasEi> UbuntuN00B: prbly it won't hang, but you mussn't forget many apps want to be configured, which can be a bad choice in autoinstallation
[11:40] <DasEi> Umeaboy: I did
[11:40] <bill_> Steveturner....also if you install PlayOnLinux (the wine GUI) there is an option to install the windows version of messenger.....you could also try that.
[11:41] <DasEi> !details | Umeaboy
[11:41] <UbuntuN00B> DasEi so what your saying is after installing they might all spam me at once asking me to configure them ll?
[11:41] <bill_> Umeaboy are you talking about having a dual boot situation?
[11:42] <Umeaboy> DasEi & bill_: It's correct. I have huge problem getting grub to know the right boot-settings.
[11:42] <DasEi> UbuntuN00B: spam you ? you're dreaming xd;; now, depending on your software you will have to mention what was there to be done before, if you just had apps like mm-player and office stuff, less a problem
[11:43] <bill_> Umeaboy....so you've already installed both windows and ubuntu?
[11:43] <DasEi> Umeaboy: best way is first install win, then ubuntu
[11:44] <DasEi> Umeaboy: present situation ?
[11:45] <Umeaboy> bill_: I've got Winblows 7, Mandriva 2010.0 & Ubuntu 9.10 installed.
[11:45] <bill_> Umeaboy..DasEi is right...if you install ubuntu first some windows versions may just overwrite the linux partition on your HDD, or it will screw up Grub.
[11:45] <Umeaboy> DasEi: I did that.
[11:45] <bill_> What happens when you boot up?
[11:45] <Umeaboy> First Winblows 7, then Mandriva 2010.0 & then Ubuntu 9.10.
[11:46] <Umeaboy> bill_: I come to GRUB2 bootlist & when I choose to boot Mandriva & see a message saying "error no partition found".
[11:47] <myself> hello!
[11:47] <DasEi> Umeaboy: win and ubuntu boot ?
[11:47] <Umeaboy> Win-boot loads, but then the computer restarts to GRUB again.
[11:48] <Umeaboy> Ubuntu loads fine.
[11:48] <DasEi> Umeaboy: ic.. well
[11:48] <nonexks> do you guys think ubuntu would make a good media center OS ?
[11:48] <DasEi> Umeaboy: for a triple boot the mbr is too small, dualboot win/buntu would fit, way to go is little more complicated
[11:49] <MASARUwota> Umeaboy: run update-grub
[11:49] <mobi-sheep> nonexks: XBMC
[11:49] <Umeaboy> MASARUwota: Already done so.
[11:49] <theadmin> nonexks: It should be a good enough one, unless "media" by your definition includes games.
[11:49] <bill_> Umeaboy...Really? It sounds like a microsoft issue then. I heard that Microsoft have altered W7 to make dualbooting woith other Os's very difficult.
[11:49] <DasEi> Umeaboy: if you used karmic, you now got a mix there, win, grub1, grub2
[11:49] <Umeaboy> MASARUwota: This is the result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/357015/
[11:50] <Dravekx> how do I create a user account???
[11:50] <DasEi> Dravekx: adduser
[11:50] <theadmin> Dravekx: Go to System - Admininstration - Users And Groups
[11:50] <mobi-sheep> go-go-gadget --add-user "newuser"
[11:50] <Dravekx> ubuntu server
[11:50] <bill_> Umeaboy I'm not sure about what Dasei said, I've had triple and quadruple boots before with no problem.
[11:50] <gey> Good day!
[11:50] <theadmin> mobi-sheep: Lol.
[11:50] <mobi-sheep> It is an army swiss knife for everything.  Every OS have one.
[11:51] <Umeaboy> This is the GRUB's conf-file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/357016/
[11:51] <nonexks> would love to play games on ubuntu but it is sutch a pain in the balls ... was thinking movies tv etc ..
[11:51] <DasEi> bill: I had 6 oses on a hd once, but then installed the grubs to /boot and chainloaded them to keep mbr uncomplicated
[11:51] <bill_> Umeaboy...does windows get to the desktop or login screen?
[11:52] <Umeaboy> It should'nt say hd0,4 on the Mandriva-alternatives right?
[11:52] <Umeaboy> bill_: Nope.
[11:52] <bill_> Dasei...I see
[11:52] <starykomputer> iflema: jest it's media center
[11:52] <Umeaboy> nonexks: What's wrong?
[11:52] <mobi-sheep> nonexks: I have a machine dedicated for HTPC (Home Theater PC) running XBMC. 1080p works beautiful. I'm playing Pingus -- It's a good linux game.
[11:52] <bill_> Umeaboy...my MS systems engineer friend told me it could be a buffer overflow virus that windows has.
[11:52] <Umeaboy> There are many games in Linux.
[11:53] <nonexks> oh i usualy play games like eve online and wow
[11:53] <iflema> starykomputer you need to install lirc if have'nt already
[11:53] <theadmin> Umeaboy: Well, let's be honest, compared to how many does that M$ crap have...
[11:53] <Umeaboy> bill_ Okey. Can I undo this installation of Ubuntu somehow without having to format the entire drive?
[11:53] <MASARUwota> nonexks: windows games
[11:53] <nonexks> but i have a computer for games i just dule boot ubuntu and windows depending on what i plan on doing
[11:53] <nonexks> ya wish they would release linux versions
[11:53] <MASARUwota> nonexks:  thats what i do aswell
[11:53] <Umeaboy> theadmin: Many many mnay more games in Linux.
[11:54] <Dravekx> ok, I created a new user..how do I setup permissions so he can see a certain directory?
[11:54] <MASARUwota> nonexks: commercial games arent open-source, so they should just stay with windows, imo
[11:54] <nonexks> think XBMC would do it for my computer i use for movies and tv stuff
[11:54] <Umeaboy> If you're not happy with the game-situation, then fiel a report or make a game that fits your needs & stop whining!
[11:54] <theadmin> Dravekx: Assign this directory to his group and set it to something like rwxrw----
[11:54] <mobi-sheep> nonexks: I think VLC is more than enough for computers.
[11:55] <Dravekx> theadmin, can I PM? I need some help
[11:55] <nonexks> dont know about VLC ... brb while i go look it up
[11:55] <MASARUwota> Umeaboy: no ones whining
[11:55] <theadmin> Dravekx: Okay
[11:55] <nonexks> oh ya VLC i use that
[11:55] <MASARUwota> nonexks: (s)mplayer is the best linux mediaplayer
[11:55] <theadmin> Umeaboy: Who needs games anyway, lolz... not me.
[11:55] <DasEi> Umeaboy: first, easier try, next to MASARUwota's tip , sudo update-grub from ubuntu, is 1) backup current mbr 2)re-install win-loader 3) get a supergrubdisk (google) 4) write down the /boot partis of the two remaining /boot 5) re-install grub with that cd
[11:55] <nonexks> i like it ... very good program
[11:55] <andrew_46> nonexks: An alternative is mplayer-nogui and smplayer
[11:55] <MASARUwota> http://en.opensuse.org/SuSE_FTP_Net_Install_with_screenshots
[11:55] <theadmin> andrew_46: Well, with VLC you don't worry about codecs ;)
[11:56] <Umeaboy> DasEi: Woooooah!!!! One thing at a time, please.
[11:56] <andrew_46> theadmin: vlc will use the external codecs if it is compiled with --enable-loader
[11:57] <nonexks> XBMC looks really cool ... i wonder if it has touch screen capabilitys
[11:57] <DasEi> Umeaboy: if that won't work,  got to install mandrivas grub to it's boot, chainload it from grub 2
[11:58] <bill_> Umeaboy..The only way I know how to do that is a bit of a bodged way! Fiirst copy /boot/grub/grub.cfg from ubuntu. Then reinstalll Mandriva again, got to the expert options when it asks you about partitioning.From the Mandriva installer partitioner delete the ubuntu partitions and make sure the root/home directories are not selected to be formatted, go from there.
[11:58] <Umeaboy> DasEi: How do I chainload it from GRUB2?
[11:58] <Umeaboy> Edit the boot.cfg?
[11:58] <AdvoWork> DasEi, http://pastebin.com/d6fbb8c55
[11:58] <mobi-sheep> nonexks: If you are able to use mouse with touch screen, then yeah, you could use XBMC for touch-screen to some point. I use Xbox DVD IR remote control.
[11:58] <DasEi> Umeaboy: by telling grub2  to call another bootloader, chainloader+1
[11:59] <Umeaboy> Oooooooooh. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more difficult.
[11:59] <Umeaboy> I have a brain of an amoeba.
[12:00] <nonexks> i have always wanted to set up a cool media box ... i am thinking my computer , 72" tv , 15" lcd touch screen (as the remote) , yahama 7.1 reciver for sound
[12:00] <bill_> Umeaboy or just do what I said ....reinstall mandriva....from the partioner delete the ubuntu partitions, then make sure the mandriva / and home directories are not selected to be formatted, click go.
[12:00] <DasEi> AdvoWork: so it's actually 4 gb, gparted won't let you set an empty party table on it ? is there a write-protection switch ??
[12:01] <nonexks> i was thinking if i run the 15" as same screen as the  72" but have touch controls on the 15" i could do just about anything ... but i may need some kind of package that allows it to access controles like a i phone does or something like that
[12:01] <DasEi> AdvoWork: try sth else : sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb
[12:02] <silv3r_m00n> hi
[12:02] <silv3r_m00n> can I do iphone development on ubuntu ?
[12:02] <bill_> Umeaboy that way won't delete Mandriva or windows, and the installer will do all that grub confifuration stuff for you.
[12:02] <MASARUwota> silv3r_m00n: if apple released a linux SDK, which is probably didnt
[12:02] <kieran> morning all
[12:02] <MASARUwota> *they
[12:02] <MASARUwota> hi kieran
[12:02] <DasEi> Umeaboy: open a trml..
[12:03] <kieran> any1 here using talktalk (isp)?
[12:03] <DasEi> silv3r_m00n: yes, see :
[12:03] <DasEi> !iphone
[12:04] <DasEi> Umeaboy: open ?
[12:04] <MASARUwota> "Using iTunes via Sun Virtualbox running Windows"
[12:04] <MASARUwota> youre kiddin me
[12:04] <bill_> Umeaboy> email me if you like BillSclater@hotmail.com
[12:05] <sixtila> is 741 permission setting for folders safe?
[12:05] <silv3r_m00n> DasEi: that didn't help
[12:05] <DasEi> silv3r_m00n: I doubt you read the links
[12:06] <DasEi> !RockBox
[12:06] <oCean_> sixtila: that depends on what your needs are in/with that folder
[12:06] <Umeaboy> bill_: PM?
[12:06] <silv3r_m00n> DasEi: none of them talk about iphone development
[12:08] <Mrokii> hello. Does anybody where Ubuntu stores keymaps for TTYs?
[12:08] <DasEi> !info iphone-convienence
[12:09] <DasEi> !info ipod-convenience | silvr3
[12:09] <bazhang> http://iphonesdkdev.blogspot.com/2008/06/sdks-for-iphone.html silv3r_m00n
[12:10] <DasEi> Mrokii: the actual settings ?
[12:11] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Yep. The problem is that all keys are mixed up (totally wrong settings) whenever I switch to a TTY, so I can't use them.
[12:12] <DasEi> Mrokii: /etc/default/console-setup, to  order : sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
[12:14] <DasEi> Mrokii: some settings are also made in the profiles of things like bash
[12:15] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Bash (opened within Ubuntu) works fine. It's just the TTYs that have problems with the keymap. Thanks, btw, will try that.
[12:16] <DasEi> Mrokii: might have to update initramfs
[12:16] <Mrokii> DasEi:  What's that?
[12:16] <DasEi> Mrokii: config file loaded at bootup time
[12:17] <DasEi> located in  /boot, just cd there , call by sudo with no args, it's self explaining
[12:17] <DasEi> sudo update-initramfs
[12:17] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Okay, will check that, too. Had a lok at the console-setup-file, and the keyboard-settings seem to be right (the same as in the graphical preference-setter from Ubuntu).
[12:19] <DasEi> Mrokii: another slim chance, you are missing some translation packages, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install -f
[12:19] <kandinski> how do I find which package provides a given virtual package? in this ccase I need to find out which real package provides the virtual package opencv
[12:20] <DasEi> kandinski: sudo apt-get depends
[12:20] <gleizer> Bom dia!
[12:20] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Nothing new to install, after updating.
[12:20] <gleizer> Good morning
[12:20] <Mavrik> hm, is there any way of preventing the "General error mounting filesystems" if any drive in fstab is unavalibale?
[12:20] <Mavrik> it seems Karmic stops boot in that case and it's annoying
[12:20] <DasEi> Mrokii: is there sth in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[12:21] <kandinski> DasEi: ta
[12:21] <znh> Ubuntu's Remote Access.. what protocol is used? VNC
[12:21] <gleizer> Anybody knows how change the number of entries in "Locals->Recent documents"?
[12:22] <DasEi> kandinski: typo; apt-cache depends <paketname>
[12:22] <Mrokii> DasEi:  I do not find that string in xorg.conf
[12:22] <DasEi> Mrokii: sth = something
[12:22] <adudutz> Is it possible to create a Live CD installer through a Ubuntu (as Guest) in Virtualbox?
[12:22] <kandinski> DasEi: "ta" means thanks, so ta again!
[12:22] <DasEi> hehe, nice
[12:23] <DasEi> ca, kandinski
[12:23] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Ah, okay, heh. Yep, there is a keyboard-entry, if you mean that: InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
[12:23] <gleizer> Anybody knows how change the number of entries in "Locals->Recent documents"?
[12:24] <Mrokii> DasEi:  And then there is a section "Input Device" with these two entries:
[12:24] <Mrokii> Identifier     "Keyboard0"
[12:24] <Mrokii> Driver         "keyboard"
[12:24] <arand> Mavrik: that seem to warrant a bug report
[12:24] <DasEi> Mrokii: could be also tricking then, back it up in case things mess up, from tty issue a : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   , lets you also set kb-layout, but back that file up, case x starves
[12:24] <cebep> #ubuntu-ru
[12:25] <leleobhz> Ubuntu kernel dont support reiser4 fs?
[12:25] <DasEi> leleobhz: it does, but isn't recommended,
[12:25] <DasEi> !riser
[12:26] <DasEi> !reiser
[12:26] <gleizer> Anybody knows how change the number of entries in "Locals->Recent documents"?
[12:26] <leleobhz> isnt my point if its recommended or not because rfs4 is the only fs that have what i need
[12:26] <cebep> ubuntu-ru\
[12:26] <cebep> ????\
[12:27] <Mavrik> arand, oh I see. I'll post a bug then.
[12:27] <leleobhz> DasEi: i need to mount a reiser4 volume, but i see kernel dont have support for it
[12:27] <Mrokii> DasEi:  "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" didn't do anything.
[12:27] <MASARUwota> cebep: /join #ubuntu-ru
[12:27] <leleobhz> anyway, i know why im using reiser4 :]
[12:27] <Zaddy> hello
[12:27] <MASARUwota> leleobhz > :O why?
[12:27] <MASARUwota> hi Zaddy
[12:27] <DasEi> Mrokii: have to do it from outside X
[12:27] <leleobhz> MASARUwota: online fs compress
[12:27] <Zaddy> somebody knows how can I back up a mysql database when it's installed in a non-working linux ?
[12:27] <leleobhz> *gzip compress
[12:28] <DasEi> Zaddy: live cd
[12:28] <Zaddy> I somehow managed to break my boot... so I'm in a live ubuntu 9.10
[12:28] <MASARUwota> leleobhz thats pretty nice i guess
[12:28] <Zaddy> just copying the mysql data files will do it ?
[12:28] <leleobhz> MASARUwota: i need more or less +200mb on my volume to fit a portable linux and ill use reiser in detriment of ext3
[12:28] <leleobhz> (ive thinked in squash, but it dont mount in r/w mode, i guess)
[12:29] <Turbolinux> Hello everyone. I want to use Ubuntu Netbook Remix desktop envoirement but I have a question. If I install Netbook Remix desktop envoirement can I select standard desktop from Netbook Remix desktop selection menu? Thank you.
[12:30] <theadmin> Turbolinux: You will be able to install it.
[12:30] <MASARUwota> Turbolinux: waht do you mean by "standard desktop"?
[12:30] <leleobhz> if someone know a way to mount in r/w mode a another compressed fs with ubuntu support... :]
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> Turbolinux:   You can install the ubuntu-desktop pacakge if you want.
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> Turbolinux:  but its a bit of an annoyance changeing from one to the other.. its doable however.  Just not as easy as it should be
[12:30] <bbb8> today i had a huge headache switching from kubuntu-netbook to kubuntu-desktop
[12:31] <Mrokii> DasEi:  uhm, wouldn't I need a working TTY for that?
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> bbb8:  yea. they really need to work on the select netbook  or desktkop interfaces..
[12:31] <bbb8> had to delete the .kde stuff
[12:31] <bbb8> they do
[12:31] <DasEi> Mrokii: y, is it so borked you can't find anything  ?
[12:31] <bbb8> and then i had to add a symbolic link in autostart of .kde
[12:32] <Mrokii> DasEi:  totally
[12:32] <bbb8> to plasma-desktop
[12:32] <DasEi> Zaddy: chroot in /  , do : http://php.about.com/od/learnmysql/ss/mysql_backup.htm
[12:32] <ma3x> i installed ubuntu and edubuntu as extra. can i make the distro edubuntu or at least how can ichange the splash screen to edubuntu
[12:32] <Turbolinux> The normal Ubuntu desktop MASARUwota. So selecting can be a bit difficult, is it right?
[12:33] <DasEi> Mrokii: is this any special console you are using ?
[12:33] <MASARUwota> i dont know what ubuntu netbook remix uses as a login manager so idk
[12:33] <meatbun> where is the port scanner app in ubuntu?
[12:33] <gleizer> Anybody knows how change the number of entries in "Locals->Recent documents"?
[12:33] <gleizer> Help me please
[12:34] <Zaddy> DasEi, oh, I see
[12:34] <Zaddy> that makes sense
[12:34] <Zaddy> let me try that
[12:34] <Slart> meatbun: "the port scanner app"? afaik there is more than one
[12:34] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Special in which way? I am still kind of a newbie on Linux/Ubuntu and am using a standard Ubuntu-system.
[12:34] <petsounds> bbb8, you want to use default kubuntu desktop?
[12:34] <meatbun> Slart: arg...
[12:35] <Paulo39> hi guys! i'm having a problem with gnome-do. Sometimes, when i start it, i get a crash, other times, it doesn't happen :s when i try to start gnome-do in a terminal i get these errors: http://pastebin.com/m43f414d1
[12:35] <bbb8> yea i did, petsounds but i already fixed it, .... what's your solution petsounds ?
[12:35] <iflema> ma3x sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop
[12:35] <Paulo39>  can you explain me what is wrong and how can i fix it? Because i even can't change gnome-do settings, because i can't start it
[12:36] <ma3x> iflema: i installed it but the ubuntu xsplash is still there. i want edubuntu splash
[12:36] <petsounds> bbb8, just remove plasma-netbook, kubuntu-netbook, kubuntu-netbook-default-settings and reboot ;)
[12:36] <ma3x> how can i do that
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> ma3x:  theres a tool called 'epidermis' (not in the repos) that can install/set other themes fro that stuff..
[12:36] <DasEi> meatbun: nmap , knocker,pnscan.. and more
[12:36] <bbb8> yea petsounds just figured a bit late about the plasma-netbook thing.... i removed kubuntu-netbook, it didn't go with it obviously
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> ma3x:  there may be some other ways as well to change it.. but i dont worry too muich about the silly splash stuff
[12:36] <meatbun> DasEi: thx i will try one of them

[12:37] <Guest59543> bill_: I think it is debian, i hope you are still here....
[12:37] <Turbolinux> Dr_Wills you said it can be a bit difficult. So selecting can make problem, am I right?

[12:38] <Dr_Willis> Turbolinux:  theres just some annoyanced you have to watch out for.   settings in teh UNR vs the normal desktop can cause  things to not work as well as they should
[12:39] <Guest59543> bill_: are you here, i didn't noticed your message...

[12:44] <DasEi> faheem_: second
[12:44] <faheem_> DasEi: Ok... waiting\
[12:44] <DasEi> !lowmem | faheem_
[12:45] <faheem_> thanks very much :)
[12:45] <stigchristian> thanks
[12:45] <Zaddy> well, I have to leave now
[12:45] <faheem_> i'll have a look at those
[12:45] <Zaddy> thanks for your help
[12:45] <Zaddy> laters <3
[12:45] <mavisland> hi everbody :)
[12:45] <DasEi> faheem_: following first link, I got ubuntu on a celeron 433 /128 MB run fair enough to use
[12:46] <faheem_> im using xubuntu right now....
[12:46] <DasEi> (though 256 meg was the hit!) hehe
[12:46] <Abueleitor> someone has used ubuntu for powerpc?
[12:46] <DasEi> faheem_: system specs ?
[12:46] <stigchristian> who
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> Abueleitor:  yes.
[12:46] <DasEi> !info who
[12:47] <DasEi> man who , stigchristian
[12:47] <stigchristian> thanks
[12:47] <faheem_> lol... anicent laptop DasEi were looking at 128mb 40gig harddrive and 1.2 ghz
[12:47] <Abueleitor> and how it works on a g4 powerbook
[12:47] <Abueleitor> i am trying to install it
[12:48] <Abueleitor> but i think wireless do not work fine
[12:48] <DasEi> faheem_: boa, 1.2 ghz, least it'll have more space for ram then, with 256 you'll be fine in xubuntu
[12:48] <faheem_> tried ubuntu....
[12:48] <faheem_> didnt work out to well
[12:48] <faheem_> xbuntu is fine :)
[12:48] <faheem_> im just looking for lightweight apps
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> Abueleitor:  no idea. my imac has no wireless
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> Abueleitor:  check teh ppc ubuntu wiki pages
[12:49] <Guest48638> Hello @all. I'm looking for the possibility to turn of the feature that highlighting automatically copy text to clipboard. Searched by google but nothing found. Thank you
[12:49] <LjL> Guest48638: well, it's enabled by default, only it's a different clipboard from the "paste" one. try using the middle mouse button to paste from it.
[12:50] <DasEi> faheem_: see above lik, you get it superfast if you just do a minimal-install with no soft and then put icewm on it, plus needed software packages, but really on 128 one more ram rocks the world more than a lighter desk
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> Guest48638:  theres the 'clipboard' then theres the old 'x selection' buffer.  gnome and kde often have tool/settings to make the 2 tghe same - or keep the seperate. Lookin to the clipboard manager tools in the repso
[12:50] <reema> hello
[12:50] <faheem_> cant put one more ram... only 1 slot on the laptop
[12:50] <faheem_> like i said DasEi this thing is ancient :)
[12:51] <gleizer> Anybody knows how change the number of entries in "Locals->Recent documents"?
[12:51] <Abueleitor> hummm, ok i will see, but in general do you think  its faster than with mac os or slower because i did not have time to  make benchmarks
[12:51] <iflema> ma3x usplash themes configurable via an app called startupmanager
[12:51] <hateball> LjL, Guest48638, Dr_Willis: Parcellite comes default these days tho, and it has the option to grab highlight as well as ctrl+c
[12:51] <DasEi> faheem_: well, if it runs abov e a gig, sure can do 256 or more
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> Abueleitor:  my PPC imac is so old and slow.. I find OSx faster on it
[12:51] <faheem_> DasEi:  ok.. im using xubuntu, cant i just configure it to stop using xfce and start using icewm
[12:51] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Okay, that broke something, as it seems. I am running in low graphics-mode at the moment.
[12:52] <DasEi> faheem_: yes
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  if you install icewm - the liogin manager should allow you to select a icewm session
[12:52] <tavi> a software similar to dance e jay for linux?
[12:52] <hateball> Guest48638: that would be the little clipboard in your tray... rightclick and go into the settings
[12:52] <Mrokii> DasEi:  I got a grey requester, saying "Problem parsing the config file" and "error parsing the configfile"
[12:52] <Abueleitor> humm, ok thx. i will post my own tests so everyone can compare.
[12:52] <faheem_> Dr_Willis: im still a total noob to thisand have no idea what yo just said lol
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  install icewm package.. look at the login screen menus
[12:53] <faheem_> Dr_Willis: thanks... much better ;)
[12:53] <DasEi> faheem_: uninstallaing xubuntu-desktop will lower backgraund taskas, though
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  yiou proberly wont like icewm
[12:53] <faheem_> why is that Dr_Willis
[12:53] <gleizer> My question is for beginners
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  because its not a 'desktop' its a 'window manager'
[12:53] <gleizer> But I cant find
[12:53] <oCean_> gleizer: http://tips4linux.com/turn-off-or-limit-the-recent-documents-feature-in-ubuntu/
[12:54] <faheem_> Dr_Willis: i have no idea between the difference of a desktop and window manger
[12:54] <DasEi> Mrokii: that's strange on karmic ; can you read enough to edit again ?
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  and i imagine you wont like icewm.. since its just a window manager.
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  install it and see..
[12:54] <Mrokii> DasEi:  yep. Should I put the backup of xorg.conf in the x11-folder?
[12:54] <faheem_> Dr_Willis: once installed i can log out of the session and go into xfce if i dont like it correct?
[12:55] <DasEi> faheem_: anyway, a  1,2 ghz / 256 can run a simple ubuntu,  too, though not 20 tasks and 4 vm's plus flash at at once
[12:55] <atif> i've just installed ubuntu 9.10 but there are no wireless or any other connection visible under network manager
[12:55] <ruk> how can i change my ssh password ?
[12:56] <Umeaboy> ruk: Read the ssh-manual perhaps?
[12:56] <Umeaboy> man ssh
[12:56] <DasEi> Mrokii: aaah, nice , you got a backup, no, complete delete the altered xorg conf, try to start without it again
[12:56] <faheem_> DasEi: seriously speaking your missing the point, laptop is too slow to run even the install process, left it overnight it was still on 22%
[12:56] <oCean_> ruk: the ssh password? Meaning the password for the machine you're ssh-ing into?
[12:57] <DasEi> faheem_: that's another issue then, the specs are alright, if the bios/compatabiltiy or the cd drive/cd is, is sth else
[12:57] <Mrokii> DasEi:  That will probably still put me into low graphics-mode as I have an altered xorg.conf already (nvidia-driver installed).
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  the login manager secren has a sessions menu that should show all window managers and desktops isntalled..
[12:57] <atif> i've just installed ubuntu 9.10 but there are no wireless or any other connection visible under network manager
[12:57] <ruk> oCean_: yup
[12:57] <oCean_> ruk: once logged in, just type "passwd"
[12:57] <atif> how can i connect to my wireless
[12:57] <faheem_> DasEi: nevertheless xubuntu is working fine and i'd rather not mess around ubuntu
[12:57] <DasEi> Mrokii: yep, that'll hang then, so sudo cp it back
[12:58] <oCean_> atif: start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:58] <DasEi> faheem_: with older hardware the alternate installer fixes many problems
[12:58] <Paulo39> hi guys! i'm having a problem with gnome-do. Sometimes, when i start it, i get a crash, other times, it doesn't happen :s when i try to start gnome-do in a terminal i get these errors: http://pastebin.com/m43f414d1
[12:58] <ruk> oCean_: done, thanks
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  if its that old and slow.  You may want to use  just a window manager then - like icewm or flwm
[12:59] <nickkontos> hello, i want to type a character which is the alt+32 in windows. is there any way i can find the same in ubuntu?
[12:59] <faheem_> DasEi: never looked at the alternte downlload will look into it
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  and learn to use the shell for the more complex tasks
[12:59] <gleizer> Thanks
[12:59] <gleizer> I will teste
[12:59] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Okay, I copied the correct xorg.conf back into place.
[13:00] <faheem_> Dr_Willis: well my main issue comes with leaving the pc on idle and when i want to use it i have to reboot therwise it moves way to slow
[13:00] <sabgenton> hi
[13:00] <DasEi> Mrokii: is it an usb keyboard ß
[13:00] <DasEi> ?
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> faheem_:  that made no sence to me at all....
[13:01] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Nope, it's an Apple Extended Keyboard II (adb-port, therefore connected via an adb-adaptor).
[13:02] <DasEi> Mrokii: ahaar, that's why x has to be loaded , that's a kb-issue then
[13:02] <faheem_> Dr_Willis: sorry still a noob ;)... just moved over from windows 2 months back, the shell being the terminal ?
[13:02] <Mrokii> DasEi:  okay.
[13:03] <DasEi> Mrokii: I think I got five 'broken board here, all just missing few functions.. if you type regulary, you go up the wall, just for tty.. look around
[13:04] <faheem_> DasEi: shell is the same as terminal correct?
[13:04] <DasEi> yes, see
[13:04] <DasEi> !terminal
[13:04] <Mrokii> DasEi:  I am not sure I understand what you wanted to say with that last sentences, heh
[13:05] <DasEi> Mrokii: keyboards are cheap or even less, you need a standard one to use tty
[13:05] <Mrokii> DasEi:  I want no cheap one. I want one with mechanical switches, that's the whole purpose I use this old keyboard :)
[13:06] <DasEi> Mrokii: daily use / tty, just a thought, speaking from my budget :-D
[13:06] <shadenzo> parasurama
[13:07] <Mrokii> DasEi:  I have already looked into modern keyboards and there are two that would satisfy my demands :) both around 100 Euros, probably
[13:07] <julios> holaas
[13:07] <julios> un favor como puedo ver archivos compartidos desde la consola con samba
[13:07] <DasEi> Mrokii: that I'd buy a new  board for, nvm
[13:07] <Myrtti> !es | julios
[13:08] <ruk> which channel should i goto  for ssh discussions?
[13:08] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Yes, but I absolutely hate most of the new keyboards with a truely bad feeling when typing.
[13:08] <Myrtti> ruk: what kind of question do you have about ssh?
[13:08] <Myrtti> ruk: you could ask here?
[13:08] <Lathund> Any forumadmin or mod here from ubuntu forums? My account has gone missin for some strange reason.
[13:09] <Pici> Lathund: #ubuntuforums would be the place to go, but be patient.
[13:09] <Lathund> Pici: Ah, thanks.
[13:10] <DasEi> Mrokii: your choice, we are becoming offtopic, I got one with backlight, cheap platics, good writing (and still all keys working, let's see)
[13:11] <diddy> I am getting an error message on my the laptop that my friend gave me as a present. After turning on the power it says: Bad RTC battery, bad check sum (CMOS), check system. Then press [F1] key. Any ideas? Ubuntu 9.10 is installed.
[13:11] <ruk> Myrtti: i have got an ssh account. now i need to host my app on the site.i was trying to get the bzr branch of launchpad but i am getting this error: http://pastebin.com/d7b367b6c
[13:11] <ming_> how do i enable mms streaming on firefox?
[13:12] <Myrtti> ruk: oh, launchpad?
[13:12] <ruk> Myrtti: yup
[13:12] <CliffS> I have a very annoying problem, was wondering if anyone's got any ideas. Every time I start a session to irc.freenode.net (regardless of client) I get two pages printed on the network printer. CUPS in debug mode shows nothing so it must be something being sent directly.
[13:12] <Parabola> lol
[13:13] <Parabola> CliffS, thats the best bug ever
[13:13] <Paulo39> i have the 3.0 version of VirtualBox and i want to upgrade it by a deb package i have of 3-1 version. how can i do that? do i remove 3.0 version and install 3.1 after that?
[13:13] <Mrokii> DasEi:  Anyway, thanks for taking your time to help me. Will restart xorg now. Bye.
[13:13] <Parabola> Paulo39,  just update it, no need to remove
[13:13] <DasEi> good luck
[13:13] <CliffS> Parabola: I know it will be something obvious, I've just run out of ideas of where to look.
[13:13] <Myrtti> ruk: you could try #bzr, since your problem isn't really ssh but bzr
[13:14] <Paulo39> Parabola: but it isn't  the repositories version, when i open the debian package with GDeb, it tells me that there is a conflict with vb 3.0
[13:15] <tavi> a software similar to dance e jay?
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> CliffS:  what sort of stuff prints out?
[13:16] <Korigan> Bonjour, un serveur me semble étrange, je me demande si ce ne serait pas du phishing, puis-je parler à un admin?
[13:16] <Parabola> Paulo39,  ooo, then yeah, an uninstall should be fine
[13:16] <Parabola> Paulo39,  it wont remove your VMs
[13:16] <Paulo39> ok
[13:16] <DasEi> diddy: couldn't be clearer, replace battery
[13:16] <Korigan> sorry, i guess there is a phishing against ubuntu, is there an admin?
[13:16] <Parabola> i was gonna translate lol
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> Korigan:  see in #ubuntu-ops perhaps
[13:17] <Korigan> thanks Dr_Willis
[13:17] <CliffS> Dr_Willis:  Same every time:  A club symbol, a smiley, a club, two smileys, a corner and a backslash on one sheet.
[13:17] <atif> i've installed ubuntu 9.10 on my dell mini 9 with a usb stick (since it doesn't have a cdrom) and i am trying to install bcmwl-kernel-source from pool > restricted > b but the packet maneger gives me the error (Error: Dependency is not suitable: dkms) .. what seems to be the problem here?
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> CliffS:  so just a few characters.. thats very odd./
[13:17] <defenceminister> I plugged my ethernet cable into the wrong port of the two on my computer. I have manually set my configuration for the normal port. When I used the other port the network-manger seems to have edited these settings and now always attempts to use that port. I have managed to fix the settings but I now must ifup eth0 before getting any ip. Also after leaving the computer for a while it loses the ip.
[13:18] <DasEi> Korigan: phishing ? makes me curious
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> CliffS:  id be curious if it does it with different irc clients.
[13:18] <CliffS> Dr_Willis: The other sheet is diamond, smiley, upsilon, sygma, corner piece and backslash
[13:18] <Korigan> yup, it's packages.ubunut.com
[13:18] <main> hello
[13:18] <Korigan> they speak about ubuntu, appear like ubuntu, but just change the url :S
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> CliffS:  also be interesting test to see if it does it IF you stop the cups service.
[13:19] <Parabola> Dr_Willis,  dont think it would be able to print
[13:19] <CliffS> Dr_Willis: Tried it with scrollz ... it does it when switching to irc.freenode.net.  And yes, it does it with the printer disabled.  Hang on I'll try killing curl completely
[13:19] <Parabola> lol wow
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> Parabola:  if data is getting sent straight to the priner port it could.. but that may only work for parrel port printers
[13:19] <Parabola> true
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> CliffS:  it ONLY does it when you connect to the freenode irc network?
[13:20] <diddy> DasEin, how much is such a battery?
[13:20] <diddy> DasEi, how much is such a battery?
[13:20] <CliffS> Dr_Willis:  Yup. It's a network printer.
[13:20] <atif> i've installed ubuntu 9.10 on my dell mini 9 with a usb stick (since it doesn't have a cdrom) and i am trying to install bcmwl-kernel-source from pool > restricted > b but the packet maneger gives me the error (Error: Dependency is not suitable: dkms) .. what seems to be the problem here?
[13:20] <DasEi> diddy: not more then  5 Euro, prbly less
[13:21] <CliffS> How do you stop curl on Ubuntu?
[13:21] <diddy> DasEi, I have never replaced on. Is it difficult to do with a laptop?
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> well night all.
[13:21] <DasEi> diddy: depends on type, there are real chargeable battery, but mostly just a cell similar to clocks, just bigger
[13:22] <luxos> nas
[13:22] <luxos> como me conecto a ubuntu-es
[13:22] <LjL> luxos: /join #ubuntu-es

[13:22] <ouyes> mount: only root can mount /dev/sdb1 on /media/usbdrive.

[13:23] <ouyes> i can not mount my hard driver
[13:23] <DasEi> Korigan: funny typo for sure, maybe just use the cotact given there ?
[13:23] <Myrtti> DasEi: it's been solved
[13:23] <ouyes> atif,  i think you need to install a driver for your wireless card
[13:24] <DasEi> thanks, Myrtti
[13:24] <ouyes> atif,  try this ifconfig -a
[13:24] <Korigan> yes, it's solved, it was the same ip :S

[13:35] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  just a minute il find you a suitable driver
[13:35] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, no need, I've already found it, btw I'm helping atif, not that I own that card anyway
[13:35] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  you two are together/

[13:38] <Myrtti> steveccc: no difference in performance
[13:38] <atif> ouyes do you want me to reboot once? it's my first session after a fresh ubuntu install. maybe reboot makes a difference
[13:38] <psycho_oreos> atif, 9.10?
[13:39] <DasEi> tt, wrong chan here, try #vbox or their FAQ on their hp, reinstall driver and dkms
[13:39] <atif> psycho_oreos yes!
[13:39] <psycho_oreos> atif, no need to reboot
[13:39] <ouyes> atif,  no need
[13:39] <atif> alright
[13:39] <tt> k i thought if i am running it on ubuntu there would be something specific but if it has its own support i can try that
[13:39] <ouyes> atif,  ok give it try, maybe you have a luck

[13:41] <DasEi> AceKing: prbly yes, but for sure have to reconfigure graphics
[13:41] <steveccc> myrtti: is the amd sempron like the intel celeron ie the lower class of processor?
[13:41] <atif> psycho_oreos sure, i'll read
[13:41] <iflema> Akkernight click on the places menu and click on home folder, then in the menu bar of nautilus select edit then preferences.. then select the media tab
[13:42] <atif> ouyes rebooted! same problem
[13:42] <AceKing> DasEi, It will startup with no problem?
[13:42] <Myrtti> steveccc: I'm not too much into hardware issues, so you need to do your own research
[13:42] <atif> i believe i would need to install drivers
[13:42] <sephy> steveccc: To simplify it, yes, but I think the celeron dual-core is better than the sempron. Not an ubuntu-related question though
[13:42] <DryGrain> AceKing, depends how similar the systems are
[13:42] <DasEi> AceKing: **prbly** , if the hardware isn't absolut exotic
[13:42] <Akkernight> iflema, I'm guessing I need to download nautalus?
[13:43] <DasEi> AceKing: first boot in safe mode and run an update/grade, reconfigure x
[13:43] <ouyes> atif, the info you pasted is not enough, i have not find the pid of the chip, try lspci -nn find  the bcm4312 info, list it here

[13:46] <atif> ouyes thanks

[13:47] <psycho_oreos> atif, should post info on how to get wl working
[13:47] <deviad> Hello, in my compiz manager, under animations under the "random pool" list of animations I see there are many missing. This happened after reinstalling compiz to solve an issue. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala
[13:47] <DasEi> AceKing: you can't change 32 into 64, if you buy new, modern hw, 64 bit will be standard, yes all together 4gb max on 32 generic
[13:48] <DasEi> !PAe
[13:48] <ubuntu_> hello guys, how can I recover grub2????
[13:48] <zvacet> DasEi:  if you think of installing karmic then you can install 32 version with linux-generic-pae kernel
[13:48] <DasEi> !pae | AceKing, the server kernel has it per default
[13:48] <ouyes> atif, http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php please read the readme.txt file first
[13:48] <deviad> Can anyone pls help me to sort this thing out?
[13:48] <AceKing> DasEi, I appreciate your help!
[13:49] <blackxored> hello guys how can i recover grub2
[13:49] <blackxored> ???
[13:49] <iflema> Akkernight open the home folder... up the top of the window youll see the words in a line file edit view go bookmarks tabs help = select edit then preferences... then the media tab... unless u in kde4 or xubuntu or something.
[13:49] <blackxored> i'm booting from the live cd
[13:49] <atif> ouyes oh thanks, let me try
[13:49] <zvacet> !grub2 | blackxored
[13:49] <ouyes> atif,  just follow the readme.txt instructions, good luck, tell me the result ok?
[13:50] <AceKing> DasEi, Just out of curiosity, all the software that runs on 32 bit wont run on 64 bit right?
[13:50] <atif> ouyes sure, i will, thanks
[13:50] <DasEi> AceKing: for that, I'd take the 32 generic over to new machine, then install server (pae) kernel there, so once get a suitable initramfs
[13:50] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, I doubt he's going to get far unless he knows how to compile drivers
[13:50] <blackxored> zvacet, I think is a bit trickier than that, I have lvm setup and encrypted home
[13:50] <Akkernight> iflema, ok done
[13:50] <AceKing> DasEi, Ok, I will do that
[13:50] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  i told him to read the readme file
[13:50] <Myrtti> jve: why do you want to remove it?
[13:50] <DasEi> AceKing: most packets provide same functions, and you can trick the 32 libs in 64
[13:51] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  he will do well
[13:51] <zvacet> blackxored:  sorry you should say that
[13:51] <blackxored> zvacet, yes
[13:51] <DasEi> AceKing: but no 64 in 32, o' course
[13:51] <jve> Myrti: Does it matter?
[13:51] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, and the other thing is that there is wl driver available either in the repository or the cd, so there wasn't any need to compile a driver :)
[13:51] <zvacet> blackxored:  I don't know that one but I'm sure someone does
[13:51] <blackxored> zvacet, I was installing to a slave this, and probably misplace the grub installation step, now neither would boot
[13:52] <Myrtti> jve: atleast in grub (haven't checked grub2) it's possible to make the recoverymode require a password. I'd not remove it, just make it a bit more difficult to access
[13:52] <Akkernight> iflema, what am I supposed to do in here?
[13:52] <AceKing> DasEi, When I installed the 32 bit version it was because I thought I couldn't get as many things to run in 64
[13:52] <nikolaj_basher> Hi guys! I have installed daviCAL. When I have logged in and make a new user with the admin account. It go back to the log in screen.
[13:52] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  but this is precisely right driver for his lap,
[13:52] <nikolaj_basher> Someone who know what the problem is?
[13:53] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, so was the link that I posted, oh well *shrugs*
[13:53] <jve> Myrtti: I want to boot into single mode without the recovery menu.
[13:53] <iflema> Akkernight lol... oh i dont know... argh... auto-run a dvd maybe
[13:53] <DasEi> AceKing: also could de-install your current graphics driver for less hassle on new machine, so it'll start up with vesa then;; less apps in 64 is a more recent probs, I don't know more than a handfull and you can drag 32 libs in 64 if really have to
[13:54] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  this is the official  driver( i do not know if it is open , but it must work well)
[13:54] <Akkernight> iflema, there's nothing that is install a game or anything
[13:54] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, its not open driver, and it comes with source plus a few binary blobs..
[13:55] <AceKing> DasEi, Thank you for all the info. If I have any problems I'll try to find you in the channel
[13:55] <DasEi> AceKing: nice is to have 9.o4, move over, get right kernel, do a dist upgrade, have it tight on again
[13:55] <DasEi> AceKing: I'm the only one, yoyo , np
[13:55] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  sometimes we do not have another choice but to solve the problem now
[13:56] <AceKing> DasEi, LOL
[13:56] <DasEi> hehe, good luck
[13:56] <AceKing> DasEi, Thanks!
[13:57] <zoiss> hey guys. i was setting up my kyocera printer, but i got some issues with it. the printer is ignoring all settings. it is printing in duplex always for example ...is there anyone who can help?
[13:57] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, what I'm trying to say was that there was a driver pre-built for that in ubuntu's repository or cd, its the exact same driver from the site except that its all made and ready to go.. the one on the site is the source of the driver and it won't compile well out of the box without the necessary tools when the one pre-made doesn't need anything of the sort
[13:57] <ouyes> psycho_oreos, i am worrid about he cannot compile the driver without errors, there needs some packages
[13:57] <iflema> Akkernight http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1300658
[13:58] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, which is why the link that I posted tells one how to grab the pre-made one, so there's no need to go compiling, etc
[13:59] <rrittenhouse> When I install and configure the vlan package on Karmic - when I reboot my eth0 doesn't come up until I comment my vlan stuff out in my interfaces file. Ideas? It worked in Jaunty.
[13:59] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  sometimes a complied driver will solve something, especially something about the hardware
[13:59] <tyoc> Hi there, when I install ubuntu 9.10, I have added an extra partition and say that the mount point is to be /extra now in my user I can enter the folder but I can't create dirs or files, how do I correct this?
[14:00] <faemir> Hey guys, how can I get the normal GNOME desktop after installing netbook remix?
[14:00] <forceflow> faemir: check the preferences for "desktop switcher"
[14:00] <forceflow> you can select classic there
[14:00] <psycho_oreos> ouyes, not for this case, that I am fairly certain. 1) because the pre-made driver I'm sure will work, he's not the only user facing this issue 2) he doesn't sound knowledgeable, so this would mean a steep learning curve for him
[14:01] <DasEi> tyoc: correct fstab
[14:01] <ouyes> psycho_oreos,  2) SO DO ME
[14:01] <faemir> forceflow, it says it cannot install it in the current data?

[14:11] <CliffS> Don't know if anyone cares but I got to the bottom of irc.freenode.net causing two pages to print on my networked printer.  I'm getting attempted connections from proxyscan.freenode.net on port 9100 (which is open on the NAT to the printer). http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d59f04051
[14:11] <step> CliffS, you get a proxy scan when you connect to irc
[14:12] <step> to make sure you arnt using a proxy
[14:12] <|nv|s|b|e> echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches == clears cache
[14:12] <|nv|s|b|e> oops
[14:12] <step> :o
[14:12] <CliffS> step: What's a proxy scan and why is it hitting port 9100 ?
[14:12] <Pici> CliffS: More information can be found on http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#firewall and in #freenode

[14:13] <|nv|s|b|e> hmmmm
[14:14] <step> just ignore it CliffS, they arnt trying to hack you
[14:14] <DasEi> CliffS: then setup a firewall and allow 6667 only
[14:14] <Oyoz> hi guys,where can i download nice utilities for ubuntu 9.10???
[14:14] <CliffS> step: I can't ignore it, it prints two pages on my printer every time I log on!

[14:15] <rickogden> hi all
[14:15] <iflema> http://www.getdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/9.10/
[14:15] <rickogden> how would I go about adding menu entries into the gnome menu for every user?
[14:16] <CliffS> DasEi: I need 9100 open to the printer in order to be able to print from outside the firewall.  I suppose I'll just have to set up a filter against proxyscan.freenode.net.
[14:17] <DasEi> CliffS: so or define what may speak to the printers ip
[14:17] <step> so if i telnet to your port 9100 CliffS , and starting telling jokes, would it be funny
[14:18] <Dravekx> how do I symlink a directory to a user's home dir?
[14:18] <CliffS> step: no, it would just waste paper.
[14:18] <coolcat> step, The command free says that I have 3962 Mb of memory, so the percentage will be on this value?
[14:18] <Amanieu> How can I swap left and right audio channels in pulseaudio?

[14:18] <step> yes if its not counting swap file aswell coolcat
[14:19] <DasEi> collcat: right
[14:19] <iflema> Dravekx youll need permission if your not the owner of the target.... right click on whatever and select make link or in terminal type man ln
[14:19] <step> swap partition!
[14:20] <jve> Myrtti: I found the solution. Remove the packet friendly-recovery and the recovery menu is disabled.
[14:21] <coz_> hey guys...is there a way to force aphabetical plamement of newly installed applications in the menus in gnome..I have noticed lately a new app install places the new entry at the bottom of the menu

[14:35] <DasEi> rootEth: oh, there is a linuxdriver now ? check out side of alsaproject, until know I just saw them good in a ballistical manner concerning linux
[14:35] <iflema> munsking does you motherboard manufacturer provide linux drivers on the cds
[14:35] <Dravekx> okay, symlinks are confusing
[14:35] <Dravekx> I have FTP users locked in their directories.
[14:36] <munsking> iflema: i guess it does, i was just browsing though the CD and found a folder called linux drivers
[14:36] <iflema> Dravekx symbolic links...... just a little
[14:36] <Dravekx> and I want them to see /var/www/their_directory
[14:36] <Dravekx> dont I symlink it?
[14:36] <iflema> munsking oooh
[14:37] <munsking> iflema: i thought it might fix my mic problems so i installed it... bad choice
[14:37] <Dravekx> iflema, isnt that correct? if I have a user locked his home/user directory, and I want him to see /var/www/user << then I symlink?
[14:37] <iflema> Dravekx yes... you need permissions/superuser privileges
[14:37] <Ziber> If I have a disk.img, that I mounted, and I mounted an iso, if I run ./cdrominstaller in the directory where I mounted the disk.img, will it install there?
[14:37] <Dravekx> iflema, I have that. :)
[14:37] <theDom> can anyone help me with playing .vob movie files interactively?
[14:38] <Louiie> What's the best type of laptop to have Ubuntu on? And where is it possible to buy a laptop without an OS?
[14:38] <MenZa> !hardware | Louiie
[14:38] <LjL> !laptop | Louiie
[14:38] <drizzt_> where do the gnome theme settings are stored?
[14:38] <erUSUL> Louiie: you can buy a laptop with ubuntu preinstalled from dell or system76
[14:39] <MenZa> Louiie: It's often difficult to find laptops without OSes. As erUSUL points out, if you're in the US, check system76.com or dell.com.
[14:39] <iflema> Dravekx well its a permissions thing... i mean whoever owns this home directory that need a link has to be allowed to access /var/www/users... im not sure
[14:39] <erUSUL> drizzt_: some in ~/.config/ some on ~/.gnome*/ some in gconf (use gconf-editor)
[14:39] <Phong> i'm using ubuntu Remote desktop, how come it does not refresh the screen for the view ?
[14:39] <Phong> any idea have any clue?
[14:39] <DasEi> rootEth: emu20k2 is there now, you'll have to get neweset alsa - packet first, and install build-essential, before that works, linux <> x-fi is ..
[14:39] <Louiie> MenZa: I'm in the UK :) it's about another £100 to have ubuntu pre installed..
[14:40] <Phong> i'm using ubuntu Remote desktop, how come it does not refresh the screen for the viewer
[14:40] <boolean> morning: does anyone know what is the cli to bring up the GUI system package manager ?
[14:40] <Phong> help is appreciated
[14:40] <MenZa> Louiie: Ouch. I don't personally know of any UK retailers that'll sell laptops without an OS; perhaps try the good people over at #ubuntu-uk
[14:40] <erUSUL> Louiie: anther option is to assemble the machine yourself ;)
[14:40] <LjL> boolean: "synaptic", i guess
[14:40] <munsking> so, can someone help me get the default driver back? and it also looks like ubuntu doesnt recognise my "sound card" anymore

[14:40] <MenZa> erUSUL: That's hardly feasible for laptops :P
[14:41] <UbuntuN00B> is there a reason why my pc keeps freezing? every time I do video's or anyhting related to videos it freezes, If i record desktop it freezes, if I play video files .mkv, .avi etc. or if I play youtube videos. I downloaded every codec under the sun and reinstalled ubuntu 4 times now
[14:41] <nibbler> munsking, default driver for what?
[14:41] <DasEi> rootEth: I'm tired here now and will give it another 30 minutes, but we got to move straight forward then, without gurantee on success, that's a nasty one
[14:41] <Louiie> erUSUL: That's what Ive done with this one, but the hd is now imminent, the battery has messed up and basically I need a whole new laptop :)
[14:41] <UbuntuN00B> sometimes if I'm playing music and installing something it freezes as well
[14:42] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, are you sure its not a hardware problem?
[14:42] <DasEi> rootEth: ready for that ?
[14:42] <bmint_> I am trying to fetch the following package through apt-get and I get 404 page not found.  Any one know if these update servers are down?   http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/krb5/krb5-user_1.6.dfsg.3~beta1-2ubuntu1.1_i386.deb

[14:44] <munsking> iflema: yup
[14:44] <rek> ljL ! only command line apps
[14:44] <munsking> nibbler: aw
[14:44] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, also flash writes to harddrive, it buffers the stuff to /tmp/
[14:44] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler I'm starting to think so cause even with windows on it prior to Ubuntu it would do the same thing :/
[14:44] <DasEi> bmint: the 'k looks suspicious

[14:45] <LjL> boolean: what do you mean not all packages like synaptic?
[14:45] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, thats almost a prove then, if you ahve two completely different OS' both crashing same style
[14:45] <Phong> ok, how to Try disabling compiz on the remote machine
[14:45] <Phong> any one have a clue?
[14:45] <Phong> i'm new to ubuntu
[14:46] <boolean> LjL: I don't know if it is an applet but if your ubuntu has update, as opposed to using apt-get from the command line, there is a GUI tool for this
[14:46] <drizzt_> Brixius, nowhere, they removed this feature
[14:46] <UbuntuN00B> better question if I got a new Motherboard and or GPU would Ubuntu still work since the data's on the HDD not the motherboard or GPU. so basically asking if I swap out the 2 parts and not the HDD would it load up like normal or do I have to do something or reinstall?
[14:46] <LjL> boolean: yes, i don't know what the command is for that
[14:46] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, the hardware problem, if you are lucky, can be overheating. check your computer for dust on the inside, especially between the FAN and the CPU-Cooler-passive-part
[14:46] <boolean> LjL: that makes 2 of us :)
[14:46] <Phong> ok, how to "disabling compiz on the remote machine"
[14:46] <Phong> please help.!!!
[14:47] <LjL> boolean: it might just be synaptic with some command line option
[14:47] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, it will work on differnt hardware, as long as you dont go backwards toooo far ;-)
[14:47] <boolean> LjL: synaptic doesnt have much in options
[14:47] <Brixius> well then I might have to go back to an older version of ubuntu :(
[14:47] <Dravekx> symlinks SUCCCKKK
[14:48] <UbuntuN00B> lol thanks :) and yes there is lots of dust on the inside its been unused for a while and my HDD is not inside the case so maybe that might be getting hot not being cooled by anything.
[14:48] <nibbler> Dravekx, actually the rul0r
[14:48] <xsssx> hi, is it possible to use the ubuntu packages for say, gnu octave, with knoppix, given all dependencies
[14:48] <Dravekx> nibbler, I set up the link.. its there, but FTP wont see it.
[14:48] <UbuntuN00B> let me clean it up and put the HDD inside maybe it will be fine after.
[14:48] <Dravekx> what does that mean?
[14:48] <|nv|s|b|e> UbuntuN00B- .. disassemble it and clean it.. use a can of air also..
[14:49] <gehiks> Hi
[14:49] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, use a vacuum cleaner, suck out the dust especially between fan/cpu. mind that the fan is *not* supposed to spin during this, use a pen to hold it still
[14:49] <nibbler> Dravekx, it can be configured to follow symlinks or not i guess
[14:49] <gehiks> can someone explain me how to install a program from it sources?
[14:50] <Dravekx> nibbler, its proftpd.. it is setup to see symlinks, but doesnt work with filezilla.
[14:50] <nibbler> gehiks, ./configure && make && checkinstall
[14:50] <gehiks> thx nibble
[14:50] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler holy hell I touched the heatsink ontop of the CPU and its blazing hot thats not good I don't think.
[14:50] <nibbler> Dravekx, i stick with symlinks rule. maybe filezilla sucks :p
[14:50] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, nope, not at all :p
[14:50] <m0ar> What's the diffrence between a hardlink and a symlink with ln?
[14:50] <jriehle87> Hi im having a problem with blizzard updater
[14:50] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler like I could really no lie cook an egg on it
[14:50] <jriehle87> any assistance?
[14:50] <m0ar> man ln didn't make me understand
[14:50] <m0ar> :)
[14:50] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, if its reasonably clean, check if your fan is spinning fast enough when it is running
[14:50] <kuchi> install from source: apt-get install dpkg-dev; apt-get source your-package
[14:50] <devunt_> good night!
[14:51] <drizzt_> jriehle87, which update?
[14:51] <|nv|s|b|e> shut it down and clean it UbuntuN00B
[14:51] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, at least it looks good for some easy+cheap solution then :)
[14:51] <jriehle87> 3.2 full
[14:51] <jriehle87> its not going anywhere
[14:52] <LjL> !info packagesearch | rek you could use this to specify the "interface::commandline" tag
[14:52] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler if the heatsink is that hot do you think I should be remounting it again with a better adhesive?
[14:52] <drizzt_> jriehle87, which stage is shown below the progress bar?

[14:53] <gehiks> thx kuchi
[14:53] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, is there a big amount of dust between fan+heatsink?
[14:53] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler k
[14:53] <jriehle87> im only having 2 issues
[14:53] <jriehle87> other than that, ubuntu is great
[14:53] <kuchi> gehiks: np
[14:53] <gehiks> kuchi: actually the package I want is not on deb-src
[14:54] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler looks like I have a good amount of dust on the heatsink and on fan blades

[14:55] <drizzt_> jriehle87, can you create and delete files there manually?
[14:55] <jriehle87> ill try
[14:55] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, heatsink/fan are not easily damaged, maybe you can use a small screwdriver or something alike to push the dust out
[14:55] <kuchi> gehiks: mkdir downloaded-prog; mv downloaded.tgz downloaded-prog/;cd downloaded-prog; tar xzvf downloaded-prog.tgz; cd downloaded-prog-srcorwhatelse; ./configure; make; sudo make install#that will take some time
[14:55] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, or dismount the fan, than its easy to clean
[14:56] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler yeah I'm probably going to take the fan off to clean it
[14:56] <kuchi> gehiks: its a bz so tar xjvf file.tar.bz2

[14:58] <boolean> question: is there a cli version for update-notifier?
[14:58] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler now that I thin about it the programs i was using were more resource demading so that would seem like a way to overheat it and casing it to crash
[14:58] <munsking> frostburn: ow :(
[14:58] <kuchi> munsking: if you have an extra partition for your home dir and all your data you want to hold is there just reinstall and dont touch the partition at isntallation you can remount it later

[15:03] <Brixius> kuchi: no, I'm trying to find where in karmic the graphical login screen is getting the list to populate the users to select from on the login screen
[15:03] <meuserj> ever since upgrading to Karmic, a bunch of my services no longer automatically start up when I reboot the system... most noticeable culprits are the ssh server and cups..  which don't seem to use upstart.. how do I configure the system to also do the rc scripts
[15:03] <Brixius> I hope that makes sense...
[15:03] <nibbler> Brixius, i have no idea, but i'd gues its /etc/passwd
[15:04] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler if I take a HDD I had for a windows XP system that was nothing but a rag and drop HDD and put it as a slave drive on my Ubuntu PC would it delete anyhting off the HDD or can I see the files and possibly burn them to a CD so I can use them on my other windows PC?
[15:05] <Brixius> nibbler: which would make sense if it displayed everyone in /etc/passwd but it doesn't show users like root, daemon, sys. mail, etc...
[15:06] <jriehle87> anyone have a problem with frostwire, it doenst want to play mp3s. ubuntu plays em, but frostwire doesnt. and it toggles through my sonds uncontrollably
[15:06] <magicvibe> hi can someone provide me with some help... ive recently installed some package updates via the update manager, but after rebooting my screen res dropped to 640x480, my monitor was recognized as a crt but it's an LCD also all my "windows" have no window border
[15:07] <nibbler> Brixius, i'd guess it loks for IDs>1000
[15:07] <Brixius> I hate this new login screen, in karmic that display's usernames it goes against everything from a security standpoint.  Let's just give away the user names, that way you only have to guess the password....
[15:07] <llutz> Brixius: uid >= 1000
[15:07] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, should work, no OS will overwrite any partition or data while booting but its own (like /tmp  or stuff)
[15:07] <erUSUL> magicvibe: how did you installed the graphic drivers you where using
[15:07] <erUSUL> ?
[15:07] <nibbler> Brixius, i totally agree. if you find out how to disable it, tell me please
[15:08] <gabrielsimon> ne
[15:08] <Paulo39> hi, i downloaded ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate in order to make a command-line system installation, but when i installed i get graphical user interface anyway... just the installation was in text-mode. In the first menu, after choose the language, i press F4 but there was only the optiion "Normal"
[15:08] <jenda> Is there a way to measure CPU temperature in Ubuntu?
[15:09] <nibbler> jenda, yep, its all about "sensors"
[15:09] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler so even if the file types are not Ubuntu file types it will still show and I can use a burning program to back them up to sent to a PC? sounds great :)
[15:09] <llutz> !minimal | Paulo39 if you don't want any X, use this
[15:09] <magicvibe> erUSUL; i have an nvidia gf fx 5200 128mb and when i installed ubuntu it recognized it very well... but when it came to using advanced GUI from the "change desktop background" options it had said that i would need to install so n so, click yes or no to continue
[15:09] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, yep. you'll get a new entry in "places" for every partition which you can access then
[15:09] <LjL> Paulo39, the alternate CD is just a different installer, unless you explicitly tell it to install command line, it won't. anyway, at this point, i guess you could just remove X and xlibs...?
[15:09] <jriehle87> noone ever replies to me
[15:09] <LjL> !info lm-sensors | jenda
[15:10] <erUSUL> magicvibe: try system>administration>hardware drivers.
[15:10] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler nice :)
[15:10] <gabriel_> Hi everyone
[15:10] <frostburn> Brixius, pretty sure it's stored in /etc/passwd
[15:10] <Paulo39> llutz: my intention is to follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems  but i didn't see any "Install a command-line system" option
[15:10] <LjL> jenda: runs "sudo sensors-detect" first
[15:10] <BluesKaj> hiya folks
[15:10] <magicvibe> erUSUL; at the moment, it seems to be recognized properly, but it only happened after rebooting twice -- but then i lost the borders to all windows, and its as if all the windows are locked to the screen except when i hold alt+left-click to drag them
[15:11] <erUSUL> magicvibe: maybe you had compiz enabled; now the driver does not work and hence compiz can not work either
[15:11] <magicvibe> im not sure what compiz is erUSUL
[15:11] <Tidy> hello, If i back up /home/noel/ to a external hdd.... is it all i need to restore my system to what it is now? should i ever have the need?
[15:11] <Paulo39> LjL: i want to install command-line system, but i didn't see that option, and i checked all option in F4,5,6, etc
[15:11] <xsssx> is it possible to use ubuntu packages with knoppix?
[15:11] <hwilde> !server | Paulo39
[15:11] <magicvibe> erUSUL;  even my terminal windows show no text :/
[15:11] <drizzt_> why do we need launchpad if noone read the bugs there?
[15:11] <xsssx> for gnu octave for example
[15:12] <erUSUL> magicvibe: it would be usefull to see the output of « grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log » and ~/.xsession-errors
[15:12] <LjL> xsssx: probably not, but you should ask in the Knoppix channel anyway
[15:12] <frostburn> drizzt_, they do, what's the bug
[15:12] <Brixius> nice, this is what it say's on the ubuntu wiki page about vulnerabilities: There are many different types of vulnerabilities, some of which are denial of service, gaining user or root privileges, data loss, and information disclosure. Seems like the login screen falls under "Information Disclosure"
[15:12] <gabriel_> I have a problem installling amsn 0.98.1-1. when I launch it after install it appears: Theres a problem loading a module of aMSN, Tkcixmage couldn't load the file tkcximage.so, wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
[15:13] <Paulo39> hwilde: what's the relevance of server version in my situation?
[15:14] <magicvibe> erUSUL; well that would be nice, i agree lol but when i open a terminal it shhows nothing but a blank white box
[15:14] <hwilde> Paulo39, server version is command line only (no gui)  so you have to download the server version cd to install that version
[15:15] <erUSUL> magicvibe: try « alt + f2 » run « metacity --replace »
[15:15] <blendmaster1024> does server 9.10 use grub2?
[15:15] <Paulo39> hwilde: ok, i see. but is a bit strange there is no way to have command-line system without choose the server version
[15:15] <genii> blendmaster1024: Yes
[15:15] <blendmaster1024> boring.
[15:15] <hwilde> Paulo39, there is, just install the desktop verison, then remove the desktop.
[15:16] <LjL> Paulo39: it's possible with the minimal CD. i thought it was with the alternate CD too, but that might have changed.
[15:16] <maverick__> why dosent thunar show a progress bar when im moving/copying stuff to removable drives???
[15:16] <magicvibe> erUSUL; wow that was ...simple lmao, it seems to have restored everything immediately, minus the advanced gui
[15:16] <hwilde> maverick__, progress bar costs extra.
[15:16] <jriehle87> if anyone knows anything about limewire
[15:16] <erUSUL> magicvibe: :) now you can investigate the issue

[15:17] <gabriel_> Please, some help,  I have a problem installling amsn 0.98.1-1. when I launch it after install it appears: Theres a problem loading a module of aMSN, Tkcixmage couldn't load the file tkcximage.so, wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
[15:18] <maverick__> genii: some way to display it anyway?...it gets quite frustrating when files dont get copied correctly..
[15:18] <nibbler> areay, might be kms
[15:18] <magicvibe> erUSUL; grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log gives me that output,
[15:18] <maverick__> hwilde: ??
[15:18] <simpatiko80^> !list
[15:18] <hwilde> maverick__,   watch -n1 "df -ha | grep yourexternaldrive"
[15:18] <erUSUL> magicvibe: better post both files /var/log/Xorg.0.log and  ~/.xsession-errors
[15:18] <areay> nibbler, what's kms?
[15:18] <erUSUL> !paste | magicvibe
[15:18] <Dravekx> how do I assign someone to a group?
[15:19] <hwilde> Dravekx, system -> admin  -> users -> groups
[15:19] <maverick__> hwilde: thanks a lot
[15:19] <llutz> Dravekx: sudo adduser user group
[15:19] <Dravekx> hwilde, via ssh
[15:19] <hwilde> Dravekx, /etc/groups
[15:19] <Dravekx> thx llutz
[15:19] <magicvibe> !pastebinit
[15:19] <areay> it's not just gdm that crashes either... like the whole computer freezes... can't even ping it
[15:19] <hwilde> maverick__, it's a hack but if you do the math you can get some idea of the progress...
[15:19] <nibbler> areay, kernel mode setting, some way of basically better switching of screen modes
[15:19] <areay> ah
[15:19] <areay> nibbler, is there a way to turn it off
[15:19] <Paulo39> LjL, hwilde: ok, thanks. And another question, server version must have a lot of packages that normal version does't have, no? or it's completely clean?
[15:19] <maverick__> hwilde: yes..checking it out right now..:D
[15:20] <magicvibe> hmm
[15:20] <nibbler> areay, dont know
[15:20] <magicvibe> erUSUL; apt-get install pastebinit ?
[15:20] <hwilde> Paulo39, it's a different kernel, but they share a lot of packages
[15:20] <LjL> Paulo39: i think the main difference is that it has a different kernel, but i don't know the details
[15:20] <erUSUL> magicvibe: yes; you can use pastebinit
[15:20] <magicvibe> okay, once install then, > grep EE ... | pastebinit ?
[15:20] <areay> nibbler, it's annoying because it happens sporadically, one minute switching between tty's will be fine, the next the numlock key won't even work
[15:21] <jriehle87> does anyone know why my frostwire doesnt play mp3s?
[15:21] <erUSUL> magicvibe: no post the whole files. « pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log » « pastebinit ~/.xsession-errors »
[15:22] <hwilde> erUSUL, magicvibe    pastebinit -i  <filename>
[15:22] <nibbler> jriehle87, how could we know... there is not enough info
[15:22] <genii> maverick__: Apologies, work lag. Try using "sync" as mount option
[15:22] <areay> has anybody else experienced trouble switching between tty screens (ctrl+alt+f[1-7]) in karmic 64 bit?
[15:22] <maverick__> genii: kk..let me try
[15:22] <jriehle87> nibbler. it isnt playing mps when i double click, just no sound is coming out. and it will go through my playlist doing nothing
[15:23] <jriehle87> mp3s
[15:23] <erUSUL> areay: probably it is coused by the graphic driver. what is the graphic chipset on those machines  ?
[15:23] <magicvibe> hwilde; what does this -i do?
[15:23] <magicvibe> erUSUL; http://pastebin.com/f395ec60b
[15:23] <hwilde> magicvibe, man pastebinit    -i is for a file
[15:23] <nibbler> jriehle87, maybe its outputting to the wrong device, check some properties, settings or so?
[15:24] <boolean> LjL: on a side note, one can use aptitude from the command line as a replacement to the update-notifier
[15:24] <jriehle87> ive done all that and googled.
[15:24] <hwilde> are your speakers plugged in
[15:24] <areay> erUSUL, you know i think it might be ATI
[15:24]  * areay kicks himself
[15:24] <jriehle87> ofcourse, i hear sound everywhere else besides frostwire
[15:24] <hwilde> resintall frostwire.
[15:24] <jriehle87> ok
[15:24] <hwilde> close alll other programs to release the soundcard
[15:24] <erUSUL> areay: and what driver are yu using. i spect the free driver to be better in a server
[15:25] <nibbler> jriehle87, i mean properties of frostwire, not of your system
[15:25] <jriehle87> ok
[15:25] <jriehle87> how do i know if its installed or not?
[15:25] <jriehle87> im sorry im fairly new
[15:25] <nibbler> areay, nomodeset as boot parameter disables it.
[15:25] <areay> erUSUL, they're desktop clients.... is there a command i can use to see which driver i'm using or do i gotta go next door
[15:25] <jriehle87> no its not, i removed it.
[15:26] <erUSUL> areay: grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[15:26] <areay> nibbler, thanks man
[15:26] <magicvibe> erUSUL; ~./xsession-errors = http://pastebin.com/f264103e3
[15:26] <lordmortis> how do i make upstart scripts?
[15:27] <areay> erUSUL, i was wrong. they use intel (onboard i believe) graphics
[15:27] <lordmortis> i've tried putting stuff in /etc/init.d and /etc/event.d and i still can't find the job?
[15:27] <areay> erUSUL, i915? is that right
[15:27] <erUSUL> magicvibe: nothing wrong per se in the log ... except maybe No modes were requested; the default mode "nvidia-auto-select" <<<<< maybe that explains the low resolution/ bit depht
[15:28] <erUSUL> areay: yes that's an intel driver/card
[15:28] <lordmortis> http://pastebin.com/d68b50415 <- pastebin of my example script
[15:28] <Pelo> LordBurrito, stuff in init.d gets triggered by the rc levels , it's not just a matter of putting someting in init.d
[15:28] <dfgas> how do i get ubuntu to stop giving password screen come waking up from sleep?
[15:28] <erUSUL> areay: well intel is having some problems as of lately...
[15:28] <erUSUL> !intel | areay
[15:28] <Pelo> dfgas, look in the power management settings there is a box to uncheck
[15:28] <dfgas> thanks
[15:29] <areay> erUSUL, since 9.04? we never had problems with jaunty... but it is worrying that it's been going on so long and i don't know about it...
[15:29] <h1amzaatova1> can you make application that will work with http://omegle.com/????????????????????????????????????????????????????
[15:29] <nibbler> h1amzaatova1, omg no

[15:30] <ph_> hey guys

[15:30] <ph_> dpkg: no, cannot proceed with removal of cairo-dock-data (--auto-deconfigure will help):
[15:30] <ph_>  cairo-dock depends on cairo-dock-data (>= 1.6.3.1-0ubuntu1)
[15:30] <ph_>   cairo-dock-data is to be removed.

[15:30] <erUSUL> magicvibe: i will try to use nvidia-settings to configure the card « gksudo nvidia-settings »
[15:30] <ph_> this problem sucks :(
[15:31] <erUSUL> magicvibe: save the new Xorg.conf (there is a button to do it)
[15:31] <Pelo> ph_,  try and use synaptic to do your removal,  remove all the cairo dock packages
[15:31] <magicvibe> thanks, erUSUL
[15:31] <Pelo> in one go
[15:31] <dfgas> Pelo, yah i was just going to say i don't see it
[15:31] <ph_> Pelo, ok :)
[15:31] <jriehle87> how to remove frostwire completely
[15:31] <erUSUL> areay: dunno you maybe can try some of the xorg related ppa with newer drivers/kernels
[15:32] <erUSUL> !ppa | areay
[15:32] <Pelo> dfgas, sorry not someting i've played with in a while,  there use to be a password thingy there , but stuff gets moved around for ease of use ,-)

[15:34] <jriehle87> anyone here ever had a problem with frostwire
[15:34] <zagabar> Yo. I made an image of a hdd with dd. Now I am wondering how I use dd to apply that image on a second hdd. Anyone knows how to do it_
[15:34] <Pelo> jriehle87, yes that's why I switched to  gtk-gnutella ,  bit of a crazy interface but no java and steadier
[15:35] <jriehle87> hmm thanks, im having trouble playing music  through frostwire
[15:35] <jriehle87> i cant understand why
[15:35] <magicvibe> erUSUL; when i click Save to X Configuration File, it shows me an input field -- should i just use /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[15:35] <erUSUL> magicvibe: yes
[15:36] <Pelo> jriehle87, I never used the built in player,  I just disabled it and used the "helper aps" to do my previewing,    I used standalone to play the finished dls
[15:36] <jriehle87> ic
[15:36] <jriehle87> ok
[15:36] <jriehle87> should i use xine for standalone player?
[15:36] <Pelo> jriehle87, frostwire, nice as it is , also has that annoying  java 100%cpu bug in it when you leave it running for a long time
[15:37] <strywgr> magicvibe, using nvidia?
[15:37] <Pelo> jrib, that's the one I use in the helper aps
[15:37] <magicvibe> strycore; yea
[15:37] <Pelo> jriehle87, that,s the one i use as an helper app
[15:37] <magicvibe> strycore; gf fx 5200 128mb
[15:37] <jriehle87> ok appreciate it
[15:37] <strywgr> magicvibe, try -> sudo nvidia-xconfig and than -> sudo nvidia-settings
[15:38] <Pelo> jriehle87, give gtk-gnutella a try , don'T let the interface scare you off
[15:38] <magicvibe> styrwgr; i see, autobackup command thanks
[15:38] <jriehle87> im a normal windows user ubuntu scares me :)
[15:39] <strywgr> magicvibe, are you able to save the X config now? or still getting the 'parsed' error?
[15:39] <Pelo> jriehle87, you mean you are not using ubuntu now ? what the heck are you doign in this channel ?

[15:40] <obiwan_> hi, please 1 question, whaat file holds the startup apps config for system->preferences->startup programs use?
[15:40] <jriehle87> but everytime i do anything i constantly have to figure out another problem lol
[15:40] <jriehle87> too me it doesnt seem worth it
[15:40] <jriehle87> lol
[15:40] <LjL> obiwan_: probably none, i.e. it'll be in gconf...
[15:40] <Pelo> obiwan_, .desktop in  ~/.gnome/autostart I beleive
[15:40] <magicvibe> jriehle87; welcome to the world of open source
[15:41] <hwilde> jriehle87, or you could just use totem like everybody else and stop complaining...
[15:41] <jriehle87> for instance. i just upgraded wow to 3.2 now i want to do another update.. access denied
[15:41] <jriehle87> lol
[15:41] <jriehle87> i cant win
[15:41] <obiwan_> LjL: & Pelo thanks, i already tried .gnome2/session and .config/autostart but neither did work
[15:42] <Pelo> jriehle87, that's because you are tring to use  windows application in a linux env. that's trickyer, you can'T blame ubuntu if you start out with the hard stuff
[15:42] <maverick__> when i try to move/copy data to my removable drive, i get an error that it is in read only mode..chmod a+w dosent seem to work (chmod: changing permissions of `/media/KFAT4': Read-only file system)..any help?
[15:42] <jriehle87> ic
[15:42] <obiwan_> what files does gconf store its startup items LjL ?
[15:42] <cobol000> what is a good minimal x window manager which is capable of transparency and borderless tiling but with a taskbar?
[15:42] <Pelo> obiwan_, yep , config/autostart , that's the one,  just put a launcher for the app you want to start in there
[15:42] <obiwan_> ny change you know it?
[15:42] <LjL> obiwan_: i haven't the slighest idea, but anyway you shouldnt' edit gconf's file directly, but use gconf-editor
[15:43] <obiwan_> yeah Pelo  problem is i don't want to add, but remove.
[15:43] <obiwan_> ok LjL hehe
[15:43] <obiwan_> thanks
[15:43] <obiwan_> both
[15:43] <Pelo> obiwan_, go to the session stuff in the pref menu , and I think it is on the second tab,  uncheck the save session , before you make your mods
[15:44] <jriehle87> do u think it would be smarter to use VB to install windows xp and run games from there
[15:44] <nibbler> maverick__, i guess the fs is damaged, and thus mounted ro. check dmesg, and mount -oremount,rw
[15:44] <jriehle87> instead eof wine
[15:44] <EsatYuce> can i change my Ubuntu desktop with Netbook Remix?
[15:44] <Pelo> jriehle87, probabaly
[15:44] <pranav> How are colors choose for names in this IRC ?
[15:44] <maverick__> nibbler: it works fine with windows..let me try
[15:44] <Pelo> EsatYuce, yiou mean the theme ? or the whole os ?
[15:44] <EsatYuce> to theme??
[15:45] <nibbler> maverick__, ntfs partition? recent ubuntu? what fs option is used to mount it?
[15:45] <maverick__> nibbler: its my mobile..it gets automounted
[15:45] <Pelo> EsatYuce, you can dl the theme from www.gnome-looks.org probably, just install it like anyother,   you might ahve to do some more work to get the panels to hold the same applications
[15:45] <nibbler> maverick__, ah, vfat then, i assume....
[15:46] <maverick__> nibbler: yea..this is happening only in xfce..didnt use to happen in gnome...dunno why
[15:46] <EsatYuce> pelo thanks
[15:46] <Brixius> ok, I got this command from "mdeslaur" that disables the username list on the login screen: "sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true"
[15:47] <maverick__> nibbler: sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdb1...mount: /media/sdb1 not mounted already, or bad option
[15:47] <hwilde> Brixius, sweet I hate that list.
[15:47] <nibbler> maverick__, point it to the mountpoint, not the the device
[15:47] <Pelo> Brixius, you want to log in without a password ? just goto menu > system > admin > login window
[15:47] <nibbler> Brixius, ok, thanks, i'll write that down ;-)
[15:47] <maverick__> nibbler: ok
[15:47] <Pelo> Brixius, nvm
[15:47] <Oli``> I've just created a new profile but there's one problem with Firefox. All the fonts (including the interface, menus, etc) are slightly blurred as if they're not being antialiased properly... Any idea's on what's happening? I've tried moving .mozilla and that didn't help.
[15:48] <Brixius> Pelo: no, I don't want usernames leaked out of my system.
[15:48] <Brixius> at a login window
[15:48] <LjL> pranav: that depends on your client
[15:48] <Pelo> Oli``,  laptop or lcd monitor,  check in the apperance settings, tehre is a font tab with an option for lcd monitors
[15:48] <boii> Hi.
[15:48] <maverick__> nibbler: still the same
[15:48] <cvbrg> can someone explain this
[15:48] <nibbler> maverick__, check dmesg?
[15:48] <cvbrg> Connecting to hproxy.iitm.ac.in|10.93.0.35|:3128... connected.

[15:49] <maverick__> nibbler: how can i do that?
[15:49] <boii> Why my ubuntu software center error?
[15:49] <boii> That not working after I click on it.
[15:49] <nibbler> maverick__, execute dmesg, then look for lines regarding mounts, fs, blockdevices
[15:49] <Pelo> Oli``, might be a firefox specific setting ask in #firefox
[15:49] <BlouBlou> !paste > cvbrg
[15:49] <pranav> LjL ok, I thought the colors meant something,
[15:49] <nibbler> maverick__, lowest lines are most recent
[15:49] <EsatYuce> can i pass two different desktop environment from one to other one?
[15:49] <LjL> pranav: they're just to help visually telling different nicknames apart.
[15:50] <Pelo> EsatYuce, not that I know off but it might be doable with two users and two different sesssions
[15:50] <maverick__> nibbler: http://paste.ubuntu.com/357109/
[15:50] <Pelo> EsatYuce, and the fast user switch thingy
[15:50] <nibbler> maverick__, at least you know when it happened. but the error message is not very verbose :(
[15:51] <pranav> LjL more total online time, the darker the color, anyway thanks
[15:51] <EsatYuce> pelo, i m reading what you typed, thanks
[15:51] <Mrokii> hello. Would it make any problems if I would change my login-username temporarily in Ubuntu?
[15:51] <disappearedng> Hey is there a usenet client on ubuntu
[15:51] <nibbler> maverick__, copy all files over, and mkfs.vfat the device again... maybeit helps. very unlikely that this is connected to eigher xfce or gnome
[15:51] <LjL> pranav: that's using what client?
[15:51] <maverick__> nibbler: ok..ill try that
[15:51] <nibbler> Mrokii, not at all, usually

[16:01] <Pelo> !puregnome | Bleepy09
[16:01] <sonic> funcking ubuntu
[16:01] <psycho_oreos> Bleepy09, install ubuntu-desktop
[16:01] <LjL> !language | sonic
[16:01] <fission6> coool, can i do that from command line too?
[16:01] <Bleepy09> ok thanks will i need to reconnect to the internet?
[16:01] <obiwan_> ok , already checked gconf-editor and couldn't find a list of launched apps upon startup, nybody knwos the key which holds that list?
[16:02] <Bleepy09> Sorry i am such a noob :(
[16:02] <LjL> fission6: not with audacity
[16:02] <fission6> well thats silly
[16:02] <rek> coolcat: what do i mean?
[16:02] <LjL> fission6: why? audacity is a GUI program.
[16:02] <walmik> I have just installed Karmic Koala and when I hit the enter key in Evolution->Tasks.. the application closes!
[16:02] <Pelo> obiwan_, it's not windows,  autostart aps are nor listed in gconf editor, I told you you need to discable the save session in the  gui in  system > pref
[16:02] <fission6> because i want to generate audio files in a unit test for python
[16:02] <rek> hi there's a problem if i try t sleep in the afternoon i feel tired help....
[16:03] <LjL> fission6: well, you didn't *say* that.
[16:03] <erUSUL> fission6: take a look at sox
[16:03] <fission6> haha i know
[16:03] <Pelo> obiwan_, which app do you want to stop starting on boot ?
[16:03] <fission6> ok sox is something we ar ealready use but wasnt away it could generate valid wavs / audio files
[16:03] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler so I cleaned out the entire tower like everything even the 2 other fan in the front and back and it is working amazing, I played an entire youtube video without it freezing and I'll be testing a 720p .mkv file next.
[16:04] <Andy> hi
[16:04] <coolcat> rek, "hi i wanto a lot of text based applications"
[16:05] <obiwan_> Pelo: no one in particular, just to know how to edit those apps
[16:05] <rek> coolcat: APPLICATIONS running with no X ... i'll try with packagesearch
[16:05] <nibbler> UbuntuN00B, nice ;-) it should also be more quiet now, as the fan is not at maxspeed all the time
[16:05] <obiwan_> i mean, to edit that startup list without using the system-preferesnces-startup-apps
[16:05] <obiwan_> pelo
[16:05] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler very much so and well as the HDD being iside now and the case closed up.
[16:06] <MK13> is there a way to have the ubuntu server i have setup to scan the LAN for computers then dump the list in a log so I can see who is connecting to my WLAN?
[16:06] <maverick__> obiwan: sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
[16:06] <coolcat> rek, But applications for what?
[16:06] <Pelo> obiwan_, in the gui in prefs,  just uncheck the save session thingy and you can then remove all the apps you want,  the save session reboots the apps you had opened before you rebooted the computer,  taht'S what's messing you up
[16:06] <Theuntje> Hello =)
[16:06] <LjL> fission6: "sox -n filename.wav" trim 0 <length-in-seconds> -t wav" looks like it might work
[16:06] <rek> coolcat: browsers clients p2p
[16:06] <erUSUL> MK13: run nmap from a script ?
[16:06] <fission6> woww cool let me try
[16:06] <obiwan_> maverick__: they aren't either there :(
[16:06] <Pelo> later folks
[16:06] <UbuntuN00B> nibbler the front fan was entirely full of dust I mean I pulled it off like it was a filter or something it was ewwwww
[16:07] <Theuntje> Need some help here
[16:07] <MK13> erUSUL, that was what i was thinking... just wondering if there were any alternatives
[16:07] <fission6> what is trim doing there
[16:07] <LjL> fission6: trimming an empty file
[16:07] <obiwan_> pelo, but i want to know how to know which file holds that info, i don't actually want to change anything
[16:07] <coolcat> rek, have you got www-browser, irssi may be useful to.
[16:07] <obiwan_> maverick__: buth thanks hehe
[16:07] <LjL> fission6: "-n" specifies that there is no actual input file
[16:07] <maverick__> obiwan_: then i have no idea :)
[16:07] <erUSUL> fission6: sox has a synth subcommand
[16:08] <obiwan_> ^_^
[16:08] <rek> www ? i installed irssi mutt coolcat links hddtemp
[16:08] <e01> is have ubuntu alternative for synaptic for console
[16:08] <LjL> fission6: if you prefer to have sound in it, look into the filter "synth" (man soxeffect)
[16:08] <Guest648845> hey , wtf is lubuntu
[16:08] <e01> somethink like slackware`s pkgtool?
[16:08] <Theuntje> I've got the Ubuntu LIVE-CD running on my Macbook Pro now because the HD was corrupted and MAC OS restore didn't help.. Now I'm trying to move the files to another pc by LAN.. Only I can't because I don't have the right permissions
[16:08] <maverick__> e01: sudo apt-get ?
[16:08] <LjL> !apt-get | e01
[16:08] <macman_> lol lubuntu
[16:08] <fission6> synth? what does that do, let me review
[16:08] <rek> is fluxbuntu still alive?
[16:08] <macman_> Guest648845: i see that also on the wiki
[16:08] <e01> maverick__, but how can i view packages that are installed
[16:08] <Bleepy09> i was just asking if i remove all kde packages from my dekstop will i still have my old shit on here? files etc and will i need to reconnect to the internet?
[16:08] <erUSUL> fission6: synthetise a audio file ?
[16:09] <coolcat> rek, www-browser is a console web browser.
[16:09] <LjL> e01: dpkg --get-selections
[16:09] <maverick__> e01: man apt-get..it must be in there..
[16:09] <rek> ah ok
[16:09] <erUSUL> fission6: from a random wiki « sox -n phaser.wav synth .5 sine 10000-5 »
[16:09] <t0rc> is there a package to make ubuntu look like mac?
[16:09] <rek> hi there's a problem if i try t sleep in the afternoon i feel tired help....
[16:09] <macman_> Guest648845: it looks nice :P
[16:09] <e01> somethink in ncurses ?
[16:09] <shiman> t0rc, try MAC4LIN
[16:09] <LjL> !info aptitude | e01
[16:10] <llutz> coolcat: www-browser it just an alternative name for an cli-based browser like links/elinks/w3m
[16:10] <e01> 10x
[16:10] <perlsyntax> does anyone know hwo to get windows driver to work on ubuntu?
[16:10] <nibbler> perlsyntax, unless its wifi driver: no way
[16:10] <perlsyntax> i got a virgin mobile usb modem.
[16:11] <erUSUL> perlsyntax: only possible with network drivers via ndiswraper
[16:11] <perlsyntax> i see
[16:11] <fission6> erUSUL: th ats crazy, haha thakns
[16:11] <maverick__> dosfsck is stuck at Reclaiming unconnected clusters for 10 mins for a 2 gb drive..does it usually take that long?
[16:11] <blakkheim> t0rc: why would you do that
[16:11] <fission6> you should listen to the audio it puts out
[16:11] <perlsyntax> odd
[16:11] <fission6> haha
[16:11] <nibbler> maverick__, is it making progress in the clusternumbers or something?
[16:11] <perlsyntax> nibber,How do i gt a virgin modile usb modem to work on linux?
[16:11] <nibbler> maverick__, dmesg again
[16:12] <maverick__> nibbler: ok wait
[16:12] <erUSUL> fission6: i listened to this « sox -n phaser2.wav synth 0.5 sine 1600-100 synth 0.6 sine fmod 200-1400 »
[16:12] <nibbler> perlsyntax, normally usb modems are just a serial device and so work like any modem
[16:12] <fission6> what blog did you pulls these from?
[16:12] <perlsyntax> i can connect to it but it will not surf web sites.
[16:12] <perlsyntax> odd very odd.
[16:12] <erUSUL> fission6: they only have two examples http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Sox
[16:12] <Theuntje> I've got the Ubuntu LIVE-CD running on my Macbook Pro now because the HD was corrupted and MAC OS restore didn't help.. Now I'm trying to move the files to another pc by LAN.. Only I can't because I don't have the right permissions
[16:12] <maverick__> nibbler: nothing much in dmesg..lemme try dosfsck in verbose
[16:12] <erUSUL> fission6: google-fu
[16:13] <perlsyntax> nibbler, any ideas?
[16:13] <blakkheim> Theuntje: become root and try again
[16:13] <Theuntje> how to become root?
[16:13] <blakkheim> Theuntje: sudo su
[16:13] <saganbyte> Sorry xchat closed automatically :(
[16:13] <t0rc> blakkheim, a friend is having issues with a macbook. Give him a little comfort of "home."
[16:13] <nibbler> perlsyntax, you can connect *to* your modem, but what fails then? how do you connect, what is in the logs?
[16:13] <saganbyte> I m trying to get putty-tools but not able to
[16:13] <nibbler> Theuntje, sudo -s
[16:13] <fission6> google-fu?
[16:13] <saganbyte> The synaptic package manager wont list it on searching
[16:13] <erUSUL> !root | Theuntje
[16:13] <maverick__> nibbler: turns out it was already in verbose
[16:14] <perlsyntax> not sure
[16:14] <saganbyte> openssh client is already installed
[16:14] <llutz> saganbyte: use openssh-client, provides sftp
[16:14] <Theuntje> thanks! that'll do the trick =)
[16:14] <blakkheim> erUSUL: this is from a livecd to recover files he doesn't have permissions of, is that really needed?
[16:14] <saganbyte> llutz, how do i use it?
[16:14] <llutz> saganbyte: sftp user@host
[16:14] <middleschool> how do I create a disk image of my Ubuntu machine so I can copy it to 20 other machines in a school computer lab?
[16:14] <fission6> erUSUL: these sounds are cracking me up!
[16:14] <erUSUL> blakkheim: did not know the context.
[16:15] <erUSUL> !rootshell | blakkheim Theuntje
[16:15] <saganbyte> llutz, oh you mean use the terminal to manage files on the server
[16:15] <rek> llutz: how can we navigate there?
[16:15] <llutz> rek?
[16:15] <saganbyte> llutz, i was trying to user fireftp on firefox actually
[16:15] <TNorbut> Having trouble with ACPI on a VMWare image.  Can anyone help?
[16:15] <rek> yep llutz through folders
[16:16] <TNorbut> Getting the following message on boot
[16:16] <TNorbut> acpi: i/o resource piix4_smbus [0x1040-0x10471]      conflicts with acpi region smb_
[16:16] <llutz> saganbyte: use nautilus, addressline: sftp://user@host    for gui if you prefer
[16:16] <llutz> rek navigate per sftp? use ftp-commands
[16:16] <saganbyte> llutz, oh, and where would i put the port number
[16:16] <llutz> saganbyte: use nautilus, addressline: sftp://user@host:123    for gui if you prefer
[16:16] <llutz> saganbyte: add it to host, host:port
[16:16] <saganbyte> llutz, okay, thank you :)
[16:16] <rek> llutz: which commands? cd ?
[16:17] <erUSUL> middleschool: look at clonezilla
[16:17] <JuJuBee> What program can I use to extract the audio tracks from a music video dvd
[16:17] <packetcase> How do I fix/reinstall the GRUB?
[16:17] <Bleepy09> if i remove all kde packages will i still have the same stuff on kubuntu now?
[16:17] <Bleepy09> And will i have to reconnect to internet
[16:17] <blakkheim> JuJuBee: there are many
[16:17] <llutz> rek: man ftp
[16:17] <JuJuBee> blakkheim: reccomend one?
[16:17] <drizzt_> is there a way to transparently mount some network filesystem, but not cifs or nfs?
[16:18] <rek> :-) too general
[16:18] <blakkheim> JuJuBee: i usually use handbrake to rip the video and then ffmpeg or mplayer to get the audio from that
[16:18] <llutz> drizzt_: sshfs
[16:18] <JuJuBee> blakkheim: can ffmpeg or mplayer get audio directly from dvd?
[16:18] <raik> how to safely remove flash drives from ubuntu 9.04?
[16:19] <blakkheim> JuJuBee: never tried so i can't say
[16:19] <Slart> raik: just unmount it
[16:19] <drizzt_> llutz, do I need ssh server for it?
[16:19] <ikonia> raik: right click on the and use eject or unmount
[16:19] <llutz> drizzt_: not clientside
[16:19] <Theuntje> Okay.. everything changed to 777
[16:19] <Slart> raik: right click on the folder in nautilus and ... well.. what ikonia said )=
[16:19] <Slart> =)
[16:19] <Theuntje> but still can't move the files
[16:19] <blakkheim> JuJuBee: if you can play the dvd in mplayer it can dump just the audio from it to a file
[16:20] <tobiasz> does anyone here has Radeon 4850/4870? I would like to know if there are any issues with these cards, or is everything perfect
[16:20] <Theuntje> I've got the Ubuntu LIVE-CD running on my Macbook Pro now because the HD was corrupted and MAC OS restore didn't help.. Now I'm trying to move the files to another pc by LAN.. Only I can't because I don't have the right permissions.. In ADDITION.. The files that are locked are password protected from inside MAC OS X!
[16:20] <obiwan_> please, anybody knows why is it common to use 2 gpg keys ? i read that online signatures (email, bug reports, ...) don't need a so strong key as encrypted files do. Why ? the only answer i could think of is because locally you can bruteforce against an encrypted file, but maybe online signatures have a max tries limit
[16:20] <JuJuBee> blakkheim: that's cool, but im not familiar with  mplayer... its command line, isn't it?
[16:20] <blakkheim> JuJuBee: yes
[16:20] <nibbler> Theuntje, so, you cannot *read* the files? why do you want to move them?
[16:21] <Slart> obiwan_: two keys? you mean why there is one public key and one private key?
[16:21] <Theuntje> nibbler, because my harddrive is corrupted and I want to back my files up..
[16:21] <packetcase> How do I fix/reinstall the GRUB? I am using the 9.10 live-CD.
[16:21] <erUSUL> !grub2 | packetcase
[16:21] <nibbler> Theuntje, copy, not move ;-)
[16:21] <TNorbut> Need help with ACPI issue at boot
[16:21] <nibbler> Theuntje, over the net.
[16:21] <TNorbut> acpi: i/o resource piix4_smbus [0x1040-0x10471]      conflicts with acpi region smb_
[16:22] <Theuntje> nibbler, I try to copy.. that's what I've tried
[16:22] <Bleepy09> if i remove all kde packages will i still have the same stuff on kubuntu now?
[16:22] <Bleepy09> And will i have to reconnect to internet
[16:22] <Theuntje> nibbler, coppy pasted..
[16:22] <perlsyntax> where do i find all the drivers in ubuntu?
[16:22] <ikonia> Bleepy09: no
[16:22] <blackxored> is there any way in a gnome desktop to activate the window demanding attention from the keyboard?/?
[16:22] <erUSUL> obiwan_: this aseveration "common to use 2 gpg keys" needs backup. most people only have one gpg kaypair
[16:22] <Bleepy09> no /
[16:22] <Bleepy09> :)
[16:22] <ikonia> Bleepy09: if you remove all your kde packages, kde will not run any more
[16:22] <Bleepy09> :(
[16:22] <Bleepy09> ikonia, i know
[16:22] <obiwan_> nope Slart i mean i got one dsa 1024 bit key, and one dsa elgamal 4096 bit key. docu says first is supposed to be used as email , etc signature , and second for file encryption.
[16:22] <FloodBot2> Bleepy09: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:22] <Bleepy09> but will i have my old files?
[16:22] <erUSUL> !puregnome | Bleepy09
[16:22] <ikonia> Bleepy09: what old files?
[16:22] <perlsyntax> Where do i find the drivers in linux
[16:23] <Bleepy09> from this current desktop
[16:23] <ikonia> Bleepy09: your presonal files, sure
[16:23] <Bleepy09> ok
[16:23] <JuJuBee> blakkheim: I see that ffmpeg can get the audio from a .mpg file and dump it as mp3.  Will it create a single mp3 file of all music on dvd?
[16:23] <perlsyntax> anyone
[16:23] <Slart> obiwan_: oh.. didn't know it did that... you've installed the standard gpg package?
[16:23] <Bleepy09> so i wont have to reconnect to internet or antything?
[16:23] <ikonia> perlsyntax: saying anyone is pointless, if they know the answer, they will respond, if they didn't see the answer saying anyone won't tell them the question
[16:23] <ikonia> perlsyntax: the "drivers" are part of the kernel, what exactly are you looking for
[16:23] <blakkheim> JuJuBee: like i said i've never done it that way so i don't know. i use ffmpeg to rip the audio from video files. even if it rips themm to separate files you could join them together.
[16:24] <obiwan_> erUSUL: yeah, that's what i thought when i told seahorse to make an elgamal dsa key, but he was so-so-so smart  and clever than me, that it made two keys for me, and now i'm in doubt if i should revoke the 1024 dsa key, and have a useless revoked key for my whole life on a server which won't let me remove it definitely
[16:24] <blackxored> ikonia, hi, long time
[16:24] <perlsyntax> i try to find the driver to my virgin modile usb modem
[16:24] <ikonia> blackxored: indeed
[16:24] <blackxored> guys, do you know how to activate the window demanding attention in gnome, or in cairo-dock as an alternative?
[16:24] <obiwan_> Slart: yeah hehe
[16:24] <perlsyntax> it  windows driver i think it build in.
[16:24] <ikonia> perlsyntax: well, it will either be in /lib/$kernel-version/modules or you'll need to get it from a third party
[16:24] <blackxored> ikonia, there was all this debian and ubuntu dev processes, but I still remember you :P
[16:25] <perlsyntax> how do i do that
[16:25] <JuJuBee> blakkheim: I would prefer separate files, but either way...  I will give handbrake and ffmpeg a try thanks.
[16:25] <ikonia> perlsyntax: /lib/modules/$kernel-version sorry
[16:25] <perlsyntax> ikonia,trno prob
[16:25] <ikonia> blackxored: pleased you remember me, thank you
[16:25] <obiwan_> erUSUL: so now i dunno what to do, cause the gpg docu says it's common to have two gpg keys, one for signing docs and one for encrypting files hehe
[16:25] <erUSUL> obiwan_: gpg by default generates a key for signing and another for encryption iirc
[16:26] <JuJuBee> blakkheim: do you know if there is a 9.04 64 bit version?  only see 9.10 on site
[16:26] <blackxored> ikonia, BTW, maybe you can answer my question, kde has a default shortcut for this task, but I can't find a similar one in gnome, also I'm using cairo-dock which also notifies of such windowses, so there's a way/?
[16:26] <blakkheim> JuJuBee: it will probably work just fine, or you could compile from the sources
[16:27] <El_Mariachi> I know that's not the place, but where do you folks download movies sound tracks?
[16:27] <blakkheim> lol
[16:27] <obiwan_> yeah erUSUL , but at least in terminal you can change that behaviour. seahorse won't let you do a elgamal 4096 single key. but anyway, it's already done so i can't change it. Question is, should i revoke the 1024 key and keep using the 4096 for everything, or should i do what it says about signing docs with the 1024 one?
[16:27] <LjL> El_Mariachi: indeed this is not the place (for piracy especially)
[16:27] <ikonia> blackxored: I'm not really a big KDE user so I'm not the best person to answer, and I don't use cario dock
[16:27] <fahadmoideen> Hey, I am not able to connect remotely to one of my computers that use windows Xp using the remote desktop veiwer.
[16:27] <erUSUL> obiwan_: yes i know. gui programs choose a default. i gnerate my key in cli to have to RSA 4096 keys ;P
[16:27] <Paulo39> hi, how can i edit a text file from a terminal without any gui?
[16:27] <El_Mariachi> LjL, I'm sure you don't have any musics on your computer ;)
[16:27] <LjL> Paulo39: nano filename
[16:27] <goose> how hard is it getting a Mac to dual boot with Ubuntu?
[16:28] <blakkheim> Paulo39: vi
[16:28] <ikonia> blackxored: let me see if I can figure it out, hang on
[16:28] <erUSUL> Paulo39: there are mani cli editors. use nano for example « nano file.txt »
[16:28] <blackxored> ikonia, neither I'm I, I just stepped into a friend's box, and I like that, I mean you see pidgin flashing in your task bar and you press C-ALT-A, and it fires pidgin on front, I want to know if there's something similar in gnome
[16:28] <Paulo39> LjL: thks
[16:28] <Paulo39> blakkheim: what's vi?
[16:28] <JuJuBee> blakkheim: I think the .deb file is for 9.10, errors trying dpkg -i  need newer libraries than I have....
[16:28] <blakkheim> Paulo39: a commandline text editor that is very good
[16:29] <Paulo39> ok
[16:29] <LjL> and very difficult initially to use.
[16:29] <blakkheim> JuJuBee: oh ok, then i guess you've gotta compile it
[16:29] <TNorbut> VMWare Ubuntu image boots to acpi: i/o resource piix4_smbus [0x1040-0x10471]      conflicts with acpi region smb_ and halts.  Need to fix.
[16:29] <blakkheim> JuJuBee: or update :/
[16:29] <howlymowly> hi guys...  short question:   i want to put a link to a java program into my ~/bin folder  but that does not work out as expected...  I guess that's because for some reason the working directory is the bin path rather than the path where I instlled my java program...  is there a way to create links to java programs and avoid these problemsß
[16:29] <howlymowly> ?
[16:29] <JuJuBee> blakkheim: can't update to 9.10... problems with mouse/trackpad  prevent it with 9.10

[16:30] <sdwrage> ikonia, so the zip module id need to build? I dont think it comes available
[16:31] <howlymowly> blackxored: how does that work? can you lead me to a direction to look further into that :)?

[16:32] <jriehle87> i have the coding
[16:33] <erUSUL> obiwan_: did you uploaded you key or used it? if not just start over remove the key from your compueter and generate a new keypair ...
[16:33] <erUSUL> obiwan_: if you did not uploaded your key to any keyserver that's easy
[16:33] <howlymowly> hmm... blackxored i installed the package, please forgive me my "newbyness"  but how do I make a litttle launcher?
[16:33] <blackxored> howlymowly, I can point you to one of my examples
[16:34] <fission6> erUSUL: is there a way to have sox synthesize 16 bit rather than 32?

[16:34] <s6> Hello folks. When I installed Ubuntu 9.04, my sound was working. After some updates, it automagically stopped working and now only emits silent noise when sounds should be playing. How can I diagnose and repair this?
[16:35] <resno> question will gparted work to cover a windows install?
[16:35] <obiwan_> erUSUL: now it's all messed, my keys is all around the world , so it ain't viable to seek & clean
[16:35] <perlsyntax> i try to get the driver off the usb drive.How can i do that?
[16:35] <erUSUL> obiwan_: then you will have to either. 1) revoke that keypair and generate a new one if the current keypair bothers you that much 2) just use what you got
[16:35] <loopy555> strange...

[16:38] <llutz> Hans_Henrik:sudo  dd if=/dev/<your-partition> of=/path/to/image.img bs=4k
[16:38] <obiwan_> erUSUL: yeah, but my name and mail is already associated with that keypair, so i don't want that people searches the gpg servers and find many keys for same user, so i'll keep what i got. But what i mean is, i have 1 master key (the 1024 one) and 1 subkey (the 4096 elgamal)  associated to it. you can revoke keys, so i could revoke the 1024 key and hold the 4096 one as master key. The choice is between using both keys, or revoking the mater 
[16:38] <blackxored> how can I activate the window demanding attention in gnome? anyone?

[16:39] <erUSUL> obiwan_: no you can not revoke the master and keep a subkey. you can do the other way around

[16:40] <blackxored> howlymowly, if for finding required jars to make your program run, I mean dependencies, you set classpath paths, and you find required jars there, if you're program doesn't need any, you can get rid of that

[17:03] <jriehle87> erUSUL: did u read that post>?
[17:03] <yaaar> howdy
[17:03] <Phong> another word: ubuntu put the Master boot in the 1tb one intead of 160gb hd
[17:03] <ZykoticK9> jayanth, this is just a stab in the dark but have you recently changed your system's hostname?  i have run into problems with doing that and suddenly sudo is broken.  Anyways best of luck man.
[17:04] <Phong> erUSUL: do u understand me?
[17:04] <erUSUL> Phong: i'm going to say it again. THe Ubuntu instaler will install the grub mbr in the disk that is configured to boot first by the bios; not in the disk you install ubuntu.
[17:04] <Phong> oh
[17:05] <Phong> fuk then, maybe when i install the ubunto,,,the bios probably has the 1tb as first boot
[17:05] <Phong> now i see what u meant
[17:05] <jayanth> ya tell
[17:05] <Phong> i should set my 160gb as first boot in the bios, then reinstall the ubuntu ;)
[17:05] <erUSUL> Phong: on most syustem both disks ( the one you install ubuntu in and the one you have configured in bios to boot first are the same. not in your case though. in you case afaics it is the 1 TB hard disk the one configured to boot first in bios that's whjy grub ends up there
[17:05] <Phong> i think that will solve it
[17:06] <Phong> erusul: i got ur point
[17:06] <Phong> i undertand now

[17:26]  * _Ovidiu is away: Gone away for now
[17:26] <CAiRO> hi
[17:26] <blakkheim> !away > _Ovidiu
[17:26] <x_> guys.. im having issues with windows xp .. is it possible to look at the Event log from ubuntu?
[17:27] <Honeymoon> hi
[17:27] <luis_> I need help, the plasma desktop is acting strangely
[17:27] <CAiRO> the release nots of the 10.04 alpha2 say that it is possible to install all 3 nvidia drivers in parallel, but what is the difference between them actually?
[17:27] <erUSUL> x_: dunno; it it is a text file and you know its location ...
[17:27] <goose> blakkheim: with GRUB automagically work when installing from CD, or will I need to manually create the partitions and install grub?
[17:27] <x_> hmm
[17:27] <luis_> it doesnt have buttons to close, also the process crash, how i can kill plasma so i reset it?
[17:27] <erUSUL> !lucid | CAiRO
[17:27] <x_> cheers ersul
[17:27] <erUSUL> luis_: more help in #kubuntu perhaps ?
[17:27] <ppm> help: when I boot 9.1, my runlevel is not set
[17:27] <CAiRO> erUSUL: so what has that to do with my question?
[17:27] <erUSUL> !runlevels | ppm
[17:27] <blakkheim> goose: you need to create a partition for ubuntu and do what i just said. grub has to be on the ubuntu partition rather than the MBR
[17:28] <erUSUL> CAiRO: if you want to know something about lucid ask in #ubuntu+1
[17:28] <ppm> ubottu, thanks.  but I have to telinit 2 to get ssh, etc. started
[17:28] <CAiRO> erUSUL: ah, ok, i thought those 3 drivers were availble in other verions too and that you could just not install them in parallel
[17:28] <CAiRO> the release notes sound like that
[17:29] <erUSUL> CAiRO: nouveau is not aviable in karmic afaik ...
[17:29] <ppm> erUSUL, yes?
[17:29] <goose> aaaaaaah, I understand. I need to create the partition *before* install Ubuntu. Correct, blakkheim?
[17:29] <erUSUL> ppm: yes to what?
[17:29] <ppm> you said something about runlevel
[17:29] <aar> Hi, I want to wipe my external drive beofre passing it on to someone else. Is "sudo wipe /dev/sd(foo)" enough?
[17:30] <blakkheim> goose: the installer has a partition editor or you can do it beforehand, it's up to you
[17:30] <blakkheim> aar: no
[17:30] <jriehle87> anyone know terminal command to remove frostwire
[17:30] <jriehle87> sudo apt-get remove?
[17:30] <goose> blakkheim: ok. then when I aptitude install grub, GRUB will automagically detect the two OS's, and do the rest?
[17:30] <blakkheim> jriehle87: sudo aptituge purge frostwire
[17:30] <erUSUL> ppm: that in ubuntu there is no difference between a runlevel 2 3 or 4 and that telinit and the like may not work as spected becouse we now use upstart
[17:30] <aar> blakkheim, any viable alternatives?
[17:30] <GG19> Question~ If I have a 8Gb USB stick that has files on it or if anyone knows what Mojopac is I have it installed on a USb stick can I still us the USB Startup Disc Creator and not loose my files on the USB like partition a spot on the USB but still be able to use it as a normal USB storage.
[17:30] <blakkheim> goose: grub is on the default install, that's not what i meant
[17:30] <blakkheim> aar: DBAN
[17:31] <LjL> aar: unless you have reason to believe they'll attempt advanced data recovery processes on it, it should be enough.
[17:31] <aar> blakkheim, thanks, i'll check it out
[17:31] <jriehle87> sudo: aptituge: command not found
[17:31] <aar> LjL, ok thanks
[17:31] <ver> yeah i can't figure it out.  dpkg is just chilling out while init sits at 100% CPU usage when trying to configure dbus.
[17:31] <blakkheim> goose: grub is only going to be used to boot ubuntu, it will not work with mac os
[17:31] <blakkheim> jriehle87: aptitude not aptittuge
[17:32] <jriehle87> sry
[17:32] <goose> blakkheim: my main concern then is choosing what OS to boot from; like GRUB does with windows/ubuntu
[17:32] <LjL> blakkheim: what does DBAN do that wipe doesn't?
[17:32] <blakkheim> goose: that's what rEFIt is for, install it in os x before installing ubuntu
[17:32] <nibbler> GG19, welcome :)
[17:32] <blakkheim> goose: it will create a graphical startup option to choose what OS you want
[17:32] <GG19> nibbler,  hey welcome to you as well
[17:32] <jriehle87> is there a good website for terminal commands?
[17:32] <LjL> !cli > jriehle87    (jriehle87, see the private message from ubottu)
[17:33] <GG19> nibbler,  do you know the answer to my previous question?
[17:33] <goose> blakkheim: ooooh, okay. so: install rEFIt, make a partition for Ubuntu, install Ubuntu to said partition, epic win!
[17:34] <nibbler> GG19, the creator formats the stick
[17:34] <blakkheim> goose: pretty much, but when you're at the final stage of the installer you need to click the "advanced" button and make sure grub is installed to the ubuntu partition rather than just /dev/sda
[17:34] <GG19> nibbler,  thank you thats all I needed to know, I'd of hated to try and loose everything on it.
[17:34] <goose> ok. thank you blakkheim!
[17:35] <DexterF> hi
[17:35] <GG19> nibbler,  is it possible to use the USB Startuo disc creator to put it on a flash card or is that not practical since you cant boot from a falsh drive unlike a USB stick?
[17:36] <DexterF> how do I make a module load at boot time?
[17:37] <GG19> nibbler,  I suppose its only USB storage devices so maybe even a USB HDD would be more possible.
[17:37] <usser> DexterF, put the module name in /etc/modules
[17:37] <jriehle87> IM LOVING LINUX
[17:37] <erUSUL> DexterF: put its name at the end of /etc/modules
[17:37] <jriehle87> im so happy i made the change
[17:37] <DexterF> thanks
[17:38] <erUSUL> DexterF: echo modulename | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
[17:39] <ZykoticK9> jriehle87, this is a great reference for cli programs http://oreilly.com/linux/command-directory/
[17:39] <DexterF> jriehle87: obviously never owned an ATi card, huh?
[17:40] <jriehle87> DexterF: yea i have
[17:40] <jriehle87> ati radeon x1550
[17:40] <jriehle87> now i have a nvid 9800gt
[17:40] <oorah> do i have to have windows installed before installing Linpus? thats what it seems on their website. before ya get crazy and say OFFTOPIC! there doesn't seem to be any good channel for this question
[17:41] <McL0VIN> i have a question, in GNOME i can access my networked (M$) computer just fine ...how can i do that from CLI
[17:41] <lionel_> 大家好
[17:41] <DexterF> jriehle87: ever tried to install a newer nv driver than shipped with the distro?
[17:41] <daftykins> McL0VIN: you'll need to make a CIFS mount
[17:41] <daftykins> !smb | McL0VIN
[17:41] <usser> McL0VIN, smbclient or smbmount
[17:41] <jriehle87> question: can i do a SUDO APT-GET gtkgnutella
[17:42] <Pici> jriehle87: Case is important, as is spelling: sudo apt-get install gtk-gnutella
[17:42] <genii> oorah: Having windows installed already is not a prerequisite to installing linux. But if you intend to have both, putting Windows first means the bootloader installed from Linux sees both
[17:42] <nibbler> GG19, sure
[17:42] <jriehle87> Pici: thanks
[17:43] <DexterF> jriehle87: yes, but won't do a thing. the packagename is gtk-gnutella. (aptitude search gnutella would have told ya)
[17:43] <oorah> genii, go to www.linpus.com, click the download link, then you will see what i mean. there is no iso, just a .exe installer for dual boot
[17:43] <DexterF> oorah: why linpus...?
[17:43] <vhenry93> seen some debate on the usage of term folder vs. directory in Ubuntu. what's the consensus on which is the correct term?
[17:43] <jriehle87> what does sudo stand for?
[17:44] <steffie>  /msg NickServ identify <password> volkmannstephan@googlemail.com
[17:44] <jpds> jriehle87: Superuser do.
[17:44] <genii> oorah: This is the Ubuntu support :) But if it's .exe then that means Windows, yes
[17:44] <DexterF> jriehle87: "do as superuser"
[17:44] <unop> jriehle87, substitute user do
[17:44] <oorah> DexterF, i wanna try it out
[17:44] <jriehle87> ok thanks
[17:44] <genii> jriehle87: SuperUserDO
[17:44] <jriehle87> appreciate this channels help alot
[17:44] <unop> sudo does more than just elevate one to the superuser
[17:45] <oorah> genii, on the website there is no iso like i said, only a .exe installer. this is the first time i've ever seen a distro that has to have windows installed first to be installed
[17:45] <unop> vhenry93, directory would be a more appropriate unix term - but either goes
[17:45] <drizzt_> vhenry93, directory is a FS thing, and a folder is your DE thing, they're not equivalent
[17:45] <vhenry93> ok, thanks. writing an article and didn't want to get blasted:)
[17:45] <genii> oorah: Probably some equivelent of our "Wubi" install of Ubuntu
[17:46] <oorah> genii, so if i wanna try it out, would you recommend goin that tunnel route? seems invasive lol
[17:46] <genii> oorah: But since this is not Linpus support, maybe find someone at their site or a channel on IRC where they are more familiar with that distribution to ask
[17:46] <jriehle87> is this the proper command to remove xine, sudo aptitude purge xine?
[17:47] <oorah> genii, they don't seem to have anyone on their irc lol i was the only person there
[17:47] <mezquitale> oorah, this is #ubuntu support
[17:47] <daftykins> jriehle87: "sudo apt-get remove --purge xine" may also work / be more appropriate - not sure if i just made that up though ^_^
[17:47] <DexterF> jriehle87: depends: purge removes the config files, too. aptitude remove only removes the package but keeps the config in case you might need it later
[17:47] <oorah> mezquitale, i know
[17:47] <genii> oorah: Maybe ask in the main ##linux channel here
[17:48] <jriehle87> DexterF: i see
[17:48] <oorah> genii, thats impossble, that channel is always full
[17:48] <unop> DexterF, jriehle87 -- no "purge" removes the config files too
[17:48] <mdisieno> so recently i ran in an issue with my bluetooth device after an update, according to hci the usb device i have is down, and im getting the dbus error 132 when i try to run blueman-manager via term and hciconfig hci0 up, any ideas?
[17:49] <sujith_s80> I am not able to play avi files in any media players in ubuntu
[17:49] <sujith_s80> can anybody help me
[17:49] <DexterF> jriehle87: good to see someone tries to grab the bull by the command line :)
[17:49] <JohnTeddy> I just formatted a new laptop with Ubuntu 9.10, everything worked except sound ( SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) ). I installed linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic and this fixed sound so my speakers work. When I plugin headphones... the sound still plays through the speakers and not the headphones. I am plugging the jack into the right port, although I tried them all for kicks. No matter what it only plays through the speakers. How can I fix this?
[17:49] <DexterF> sujith_s80: no - you need to tell us what you want to do :)
[17:49] <JohnTeddy> sujith_s80: What does the output of "file file.avi" give you?
[17:50] <blakkheim> sujith_s80: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:50] <sujith_s80> I tried to play a .avi file but iam not able to play
[17:50] <sujith_s80> it is not showing any error for vlc
[17:51] <sujith_s80> but in movie player got a erro "an error occured" no details
[17:51] <mamy> ubottu,plz can you send me the link again for installing the repository i m using another machine plzz
[17:51] <chopin> if, when running lshw -C network, I get a *-network DISABLED, description: Wireless interface --- what can I do to enable it?  using ubuntu 9.10 and it's a fresh install.
[17:51] <sujith_s80> hello can anybody help me plssssssss
[17:52] <DexterF> JohnTeddy: can't really help, sorry, but checking out the alsa channel might be worth a shot. dunno the exact channel name tho
[17:52] <Phong> i think ubuntu is way easy to use then Fedora
[17:53] <DexterF> sujith_s80: tried any other player? kaffeine, smplayer? did you install w32codecs packacge? (or w64codecs if you have a 64bit install?) tried medibuntu?
[17:53] <Phong> is there a 64 bit ubuntu?
[17:53] <DexterF> of course
[17:53] <Phong> i'm currently use the 32 bits
[17:53] <DexterF> since long
[17:53] <hwilde> !64bit
[17:53] <Gesi> hi to everyone
[17:53] <Phong> where can i get the x64 ?
[17:53] <sujith_s80> i tried on diff players but same result
[17:53] <DexterF> Phong: where you got the 32b
[17:53] <hwilde> Phong, download that cd from the website.
[17:53] <sujith_s80> how to install the codec
[17:53] <daftykins> Phong: choose AMD64 / x64 / x86-64 when you download the ISO
[17:54] <daftykins> sujith_s80: what codec?
[17:54] <DexterF> sujith_s80: install the package I told you about
[17:54] <sujith_s80> I was able to play till today morning suddenly I dont know wht happend
[17:54] <sujith_s80> which one ?
[17:54] <Gesi> my ubuntu is always saying me that i am not the root user
[17:54] <DexterF> ...
[17:54] <Phong> thanks
[17:54] <Gesi> what can i do to eleminate it
[17:54] <Myrtti> Gesi: what are you trying to do?
[17:54] <DexterF> sujith_s80: w32codecs
[17:54] <daftykins> sujith_s80: yeah you'll need to tell us what type the video is. AVI is not a file type or a video type, it is a container format
[17:54] <jriehle87> i downloaded songbird from website, it gave me a directory.. now how do i install :)
[17:54] <hwilde> !sudo > Gesi
[17:55] <sujith_s80> how can I check what type of video
[17:55] <sujith_s80> it is a movie file
[17:55] <Gesi> i mean to cancel it from showing
[17:55] <BlouBlou> Gesi: Use sudo su before any commands, is not recommendable, but it won't appear this message
[17:55] <BlouBlou> Gesi: or loggin with root and password
[17:55] <mamy> obottu,if u don t mind plz send me the link for skype plz
[17:56] <blakkheim> BlouBlou: watch out, the ubuntu people will jump all over that statement saying not to use root
[17:56] <hwilde> !skype > mamy
[17:56] <Myrtti> BlouBlou: do not suggest setting root password :-(
[17:56] <sujith_s80> I am not seeing the package w32codecs
[17:56] <sujith_s80> in synaptic manage
[17:56] <hwilde> !root
[17:56] <Myrtti> sujith_s80: do you have medibuntu repository enabled?
[17:56] <DexterF> sujith_s80: "file <filename>
[17:56] <Phong> i have questoin: is it safe to install opera 10 in ubuntu?
[17:56] <capibolso> Phong, yes
[17:56] <frostburn> Phong, define safe?
[17:56] <Phong> thanks
[17:56] <erUSUL> !medibuntu > sujith_s80
[17:57] <BlouBlou> blakkheim: That is because isn't secure stay logged as root for normal use of computer
[17:57] <blakkheim> Phong: it is a proprietary program so that's hard to answer
[17:57] <Phong> oh okay
[17:57] <mamy> ubottu,ok plz how can i see your private mesg i m new in this chat plz help
[17:57] <Myrtti> BlouBlou: this is because root account isn't set by default and setting it might break some applications or shortcuts to them.
[17:57] <capibolso> Phong, it is completely safe
[17:57] <hwilde> "safe" is relative
[17:57] <blakkheim> capibolso: do you have the source code to opera and have checked it?
[17:57] <Phong> i have question: i install game in WINE and in linux where can i fine program in C:\program files\Warcraft III
[17:58] <Myrtti> BlouBlou: also, you're welcome to shoot yourself to your leg, but we'd rather you not tell others do it
[17:58] <blakkheim> capibolso: if not then you can't say if it's safe or not
[17:58] <Phong> i dont know where wine install windows app at
[17:58] <Gesi> mamy: what irc program are you using?
[17:58] <capibolso> blakkheim, it is safe for the 99% of population, then if you are a security freak may be not
[17:58] <Phong> any idea?
[17:58] <BlouBlou> Myrtti: you're wrong, applications' configurations are in differents files, so isn't any problem
[17:59] <drizzt_> Phong, ~/.wine/disk_c usually
[17:59] <Phong> oh okay
[17:59] <Phong> let me try
[17:59] <blakkheim> drizzt_: it's drive_c, not disk_c
[17:59] <mamy> gesi,i m using xchat
[17:59] <hwilde> !attitude > BlouBlou

[18:17] <daftykins> sujith_s80: i've already told you an AVI file is not a type of video, it's only a container format. find out what the codecs needed are _then_ ask
[18:17] <sheldon_> no access terminal
[18:17] <sujith_s80> how can I know that
[18:17] <sujith_s80> I am telling about the file extn
[18:17] <Krabmeat> uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhg
[18:18] <daftykins> yes which means nothing in video. there might be a menu in VLC for file info
[18:18] <chopin> !broadcom
[18:18] <topyli> sujith_s80,  do you have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package installed?
[18:18] <sheldon_> anybody knows how can i solve this ?
[18:18] <sujith_s80> yes
[18:18]  * Claudiu is away: Away for now...I'll be back
[18:18] <person> I'm looking for a media player like Listen suitable for Xfce and isn't Quod Libet. I'm guessing that things that use Gnome libraries will tend to be heavier?
[18:19] <sujith_s80> codec is h264
[18:19] <daftykins> !medibuntu | sujith_s80
[18:20] <sheldon_> no idea for my install ?
[18:20] <Krabmeat> Keytouch is for extra function keys. ALL i want to do is fix control+C to  = copy
[18:21] <topyli> Krabmeat, that's copy by default. how did it break?
[18:21] <trism> Krabmeat: ctrl+c is implemented on a per-application basis, it isn't system-wide
[18:21] <mamy> topyli,can u plz check your private box i tried to send some output plz
[18:21] <Krabmeat> i didnt know it was default, so i tried to do it myself...... bad move cuz now it doesnt work at all
[18:22] <Krabmeat> i get the same error regardless of application
[18:22] <hwilde> Krabmeat, what did you do exactly
[18:23] <Krabmeat> i went into keyboard shortcuts and tried to add one called Copy
[18:23] <toman> can anyone help me with my benq 5000 scanner ? I cant get it to work under ubuntu :(
[18:23] <Krabmeat> it asks for a name & command
[18:24] <Krabmeat> so i put name: Copy, command: Ctrl+C
[18:24] <Krabmeat> didnt work, so i tried Copy, Copy.. didnt work
[18:24] <skinnymg1> hello all
[18:24] <nibbler> Krabmeat, if you talk about keyboard shortcut, command is the binary to execute, like /usr/bin/xkill
[18:25] <person> I'm looking for a media player like Listen suitable for Xfce and isn't Quod Libet. I'm guessing that things that use Gnome libraries will tend to be heavier when used with Xfce?
[18:25] <Pici> Krabmeat: So delete the shortcut that you added.  By the way, what were you trying to copy from in the first place when you thought it wasn't working
[18:25] <nibbler> Krabmeat, the shortcut is configured later
[18:25] <skinnymg1> im looking for a simple to use gui backup app for Ubuntu
[18:25] <Krabmeat> i have no idea what the binary to execute means
[18:25] <Pici> Krabmeat: There is none.
[18:25] <trism> Krabmeat: it means program to run
[18:26] <benklein> I am trying to compile a package from source, and I get an error that "You don't have gtk+-2.0 installed". What does this error mean and how do I install gtk+-2.0 on Karmic?
[18:26] <Flare183> !backup | skinnymg1
[18:26] <topyli> person, if you like listen, use listen
[18:26] <Krabmeat> so it should be blank?
[18:26] <Pici> Krabmeat: Keyboard shortcuts are not applicable to what you are trying to do.
[18:26] <person> topyli: I do, but it's buggy in my distro (I came here because I need to register my nick to go to ##linux and because I'm a mysterious fellow, I don't want to do that) :P
[18:27] <Krabmeat> pici what do you mean?
[18:27] <Krabmeat> i cant create a shortcut to copy text?
[18:27] <trism> benklein: you probably need libgtk2.0-dev
[18:27] <topyli> person, maybe exaile then. btw, which distro? don't they have their own channels?
[18:27] <Pici> Krabmeat: You don't need to.
[18:28] <benklein> trism: thanks
[18:28] <Krabmeat> i do, because i cant copy text now, i get an error message
[18:28] <person> topyli: Debian, but I thought people would kill me if I asked for suggestions of software there. I thought #ubuntu would be more appropriate since it's for desktop users
[18:29] <wocks> hi all. desktop effects don't work on my dell studio 15 (ati radeon 4500). what should i do? install the proprietary driver? please help!!
[18:29] <Pici> Krabmeat: You're getting an error message because you created a keyboard shortcut, setting ctrl-c as the key and it doesn't point to a valid application.  If you press the remove button when your custom command is hilighted then you will not have an error anymore.  Then we can discuss why you thought you needed to do this in the first place.
[18:29] <topyli> person, ubuntu users even. :)  -- i doubt #debian is *that* lethal though
[18:30] <person> topyli: In Banshee (all distros), I get a massive list of albums - one item for each artist, it seems.
[18:30] <Krabmeat> pici: one problem now, i cant find it to remove and i still get the message
[18:30] <Pici> Krabmeat: It should be at the bottom of the keyboard shortcuts list
[18:31] <Krabmeat> Pici: it is not, as soon as i tried to make one without a command it got erased or something.
[18:31] <wildc4rd> evenin' all
[18:31] <topyli> person, if you want to discuss media players with ubuntu folks, please join #ubuntu-offtopic instead of this channel
[18:32] <Pici> Krabmeat: Odd.  Let me try this myself and see if I can fix it.  One moment.
[18:32] <person> thanks topyli
[18:32] <Krabmeat> pici: ok thank you!
[18:33] <jriehle87> !copy
[18:33] <jriehle87> !copyandpaste
[18:33] <benklein> Now it says that I don't have libxml-2.0 > 2.6.0 installed. Which package provides this?
[18:34] <userfriendly> hello. simple and maybe somewhat stupid question... can i use the hosts file to simulate round robin dns? if so, how / where can i tell my machine not to cache the entries?
[18:34] <trism> benklein: when compiling software, apt-cache search package_name is your friend (in this case, apt-cache search libxml dev
[18:34] <Dravekx> why is proftpd so slow????
[18:34] <jriehle87> !pastebin
[18:34] <jchsonez> hi?
[18:35] <Dravekx> vsftpd is fast, but doesnt do what I need, and proftp does what I need, but is super slow.
[18:35] <Dravekx> so odd.
[18:35] <ardchoille> Murphy's Law
[18:35] <Dravekx> no doubt.
[18:36] <sheldon_> after install menu, i get black screen, cd continue to install but i see nothing in screen, i know there is a kernel option to solve this problem but i dont remember, anyone knows this kind of problem ?
[18:36] <trism> benklein: libxml2-dev is probably what you want in this case
[18:37] <sheldon_> i tried option from install menu (F4) but nothing work
[18:37] <Pici> Krabmeat: Do you still have the keyboard shortcuts window open?
[18:38] <Krabmeat> Pici: no should i reopen it
[18:38] <Pici> Krabmeat: Can you?  And then see if it gives an error when you use ctrl-c ?
[18:39] <Krabmeat> pici: yep still does
[18:40] <sheldon_> no idea ??
[18:40] <benklein> trism: Thanks for all the advice. I also did apt-cache search for the next package that it needed, and now it works.
[18:40] <Pici> Krabmeat: Okay, can you open a terminal and change the directory to ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/keybindings/
[18:40] <Pici> Krabmeat: And tell me what folders you see in there
[18:41] <ardchoille> benklein: you can also do "apt-cache search -n packagename" to search only package names
[18:42] <Krabmeat> pici: there is no keybindings folder there
[18:43] <Pici> Krabmeat: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[18:43] <Krabmeat> pici: no idea, how do i find out:-D
[18:44] <Pici> Krabmeat: use the    lsb_release -a    command
[18:44] <Riot89> salve
[18:44] <ardchoille> Pici: I'm on Karmic that I don't have that dir either
[18:44] <toman> Ok, i'll try it again: I'm using ubuntu 9.10 and i have a BENQ 5000 SCANNER. Under windows XP it was using MiraScan 6.3. Can somebody help me make it run on ubuntu 9.10 ?
[18:44] <Krabmeat> pici: Ubuntu 9.1
[18:44] <ardchoille> Krabmeat: That's Karmic Koala :)
[18:45] <Pici> Krabmeat: Have you logged out and logged back in since you made that keybinding?
[18:45] <toman> all i found in google was a guy who said "i found a was to make it work" and gives a link. But the link is broken :(
[18:46] <Krabmeat> pici: the ctrl+C command hasnt worked in a long time
[18:46] <tonsofpcs> dist-up time...
[18:46] <Pici> Krabmeat: You mean its been giving that error for a long time?
[18:46] <Krabmeat> pici: yes
[18:46] <filip_> how i can settle the the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia kayboard
[18:46] <Pici> Krabmeat: What does the error say again?
[18:47] <Miracle> My sound stopped working can someone help me?
[18:47] <Krabmeat> pici: Error while trying to run Copy which is linked to the key (<control>C)
[18:47] <topyli> toman, it is claimed to work with the snapscan driver, which we have out of the box: http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=benq&model=5000&bus=any&v=&p=
[18:48] <jriehle87> how do i change the icons of a shortcut?
[18:48] <topyli> toman, but i'm guessing it does not? :)
[18:49] <jriehle87> how do i change the icon on my desktop/
[18:49] <sd32> !sound
[18:49] <toman> topyli, no it does not :(
[18:50] <rootEth> jriehle87, think you right click on it then properties, then click on the icon and select location of a new one
[18:50] <Pici> Krabmeat: Okay. Can you run the following: grep -R "Copy" ~/.gconf/
[18:50] <jriehle87> rootEth: ill try that thanks
[18:50] <isidro> buenas tardes...
[18:50] <Pici> Krabmeat: And let me know if there are any results?
[18:50] <rootEth> I've only been using it 2 days so dont blame me if I'm wrong :P
[18:50] <isidro> alguien me podria echar la mano con el cliente de no-ip
[18:51] <ardchoille> !es | isidro
[18:51] <topyli> toman, ok. i'm not very good with non-working scanners i'm afraid. if you don't get help here, try the forums
[18:51] <Krabmeat> pici: what should have happened? because it didnt error but it also didnt seem to do anything
[18:51] <jchsonez> ji?
[18:51] <Pici> Krabmeat: hmm
[18:52] <toman> topyli, i'll try :) I'll read a little bit more first. Tnx :)
[18:52] <saica> hello!
[18:52] <topyli> toman, cheers, good luck :)
[18:52] <nintnint> Hey, I know this is a simple problem because I've had it before but I can't remember how to fix it.  VLC is player a video in a seperate window, not in the player itself.
[18:52] <Pici> Krabmeat: It should have told you the file that contained that shortcut.  Are you sure that Copy was capitalized in the error message you were getting?
[18:52] <nintnint> How do I make the video and the player controls in one window?
[18:52] <MASARUwota> nintnint: what player?
[18:52] <Krabmeat> pici: yes, but it was in parenthesis
[18:53] <Krabmeat> pici: would that make a difference
[18:53] <nintnint> VLC Media Player
[18:53] <Pici> Krabmeat: Nope.
[18:53] <nintnint> VIdeoLAN
[18:53] <MASARUwota> nintnint: you cant do that in linux-vlc
[18:53] <topyli> MASARUwota, sure you can :)
[18:53] <MASARUwota> :X
[18:53] <nintnint> I've done it before..
[18:53] <Pici> Krabmeat: Okay, there is one other thing we can try.  Can you press alt-f2 and then type gconf-editor and press enter
[18:54] <MASARUwota> nvm what i said
[18:54] <nintnint> Thanks for the thought though :)
[18:54] <aperson> doesn't one need a non-ubuntu version to get that though?
[18:54] <saica> in ubuntu jaunty, with Catalyst 9.3 (fglrx 8.593) and all the necessary packages downgraded to use it, video playback tends to suddenly go crazy.  It plays fine sometimes... other times the a/v gets way out of sync. once it breaks down it doesn't go back. this affects all video playing software.
[18:54] <topyli> nintnint, the video outputs don't all work with it, dunno why
[18:54] <Krabmeat> pici: ok did that
[18:54] <MASARUwota> aperson: ?
[18:54] <nintnint> Which one do I want?
[18:54] <blakkheim> saica: don't buy from ati - enemy of your freedom
[18:55] <nintnint> OpenGL and X11 both give me seperate windows
[18:55] <nintnint> separate.
[18:55] <hwilde> nvidia > ati.
[18:55] <topyli> nintnint, if you have the 'default' video output selected, vlc may be selecting one that doesn't. i don't know what's good :(
[18:55] <Pici> Krabmeat: Can you navigate to desktop/gnome/keybindings ?
[18:55] <saica> blankheim: a lesson i have learned all too well. unfortunately i'm stuck with the card until i make enough money to buy and nvidia.
[18:55] <Krabmeat> pici: yes
[18:56] <topyli> nintnint, grrr, mine is at 'default' so i can't tell
[18:56] <Pici> Krabmeat: Is there any sub key in there that is called Custom0 or similar? (on the left side, not the right where it says allowed_keys[])
[18:56]  * saica is currently watching a video with no problems, after a reboot.. feels like the windows way of doing things..
[18:57] <aperson> saica, likely all you needed to do was restart x, not restart :)
[18:57] <Krabmeat> pici: It has a column that says Name and a column that says Value. Are you asking me what is in the volume column?
[18:57] <Krabmeat> pici: Value*
[18:57] <ecs160> hi, so i just installed ubuntu and then the proprietary driver for nvidia, but as soon as i restart X the resolution gets set too high and i cant access the nvidia tool to fix it
[18:57] <Pici> Krabmeat: No, rather in the 'subfolders' of the keybindings folder
[18:57] <Slart> saica: linux is getting there.. slowly.. just wait a little longer and we'll have love-worms too ;)
[18:58] <saica> aperson: restarted x many times. doing so causes the problem to go away for a few minutes...
[18:58] <saica> love-worms?
[18:58] <Krabmeat> pici: ok the subfolders are magnifier, onscreenkeyboard and screenreader
[18:58] <newbie_>  hi, how do i know what is the name of my local mysql database name? is there any way to know?
[18:58] <ecs160> does this mean i have to set up my Xorg manually? and if so .. how?
[18:58] <hwilde> newbie_, show tables
[18:58] <Slart> saica: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILOVEYOU
[18:59] <sheldon_> i have this problem, balck screen after install menu -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqXsKKFgCwg
[18:59] <Pici> Krabmeat: Okay, can you try ctrl-c again and see if it errors out?
[18:59] <sheldon_> i know i need a kernel option to solve this but i dont remember
[18:59] <ecs160> newbie_, i think its in /var/lib/mysql
[18:59] <Krabmeat> pici: still have the same error
[18:59] <ecs160> theres a folder per database
[18:59] <newbie_> hwildehow about using terminal? is that possible?
[18:59] <saica> i hear great things about the open source drivers lately... but I have an RV516... which is too old of the new fglrx and too new for the open source...
[18:59] <shane2peru> why is brasero taking an eternity to burn a dvd iso?  It has been 15min and hasn't even started burning?  What is going on?
[18:59] <hwilde> sheldon_, did you check the cd for errors?  try reburning it at a lower speed
[19:00] <sheldon_> yes i try this
[19:00] <sheldon_> already same result
[19:00] <ecs160> can anyone help me get my X up?
[19:00] <Pici> Krabmeat: Okay, go to Edit>Find enter   Copy    in the text field (with the capital C) check the two boxes and press find.
[19:00] <Krabmeat> pici: can i just set the allowed_keys to default?
[19:00] <hwilde> sheldon_, can it run the live cd ok?  only the install fails ?
[19:01] <Pici> Krabmeat: What is it set to now?
[19:01] <sheldon_> no ths livecd runs, i heard sound from login screen but screen is already4 black
[19:01] <Krabmeat> pici: the value is []
[19:01] <saica> ecs160, can you fill me on what's been happening to your X? recently i've had a lot of experience making x run when it doesn't want to.
[19:01] <Krabmeat> pici: the find found no results
[19:01] <hwilde> sheldon_, so the livecd also fails
[19:01] <sheldon_> hwilde yes
[19:02] <Pici> Krabmeat: You can enter something in there, then it will only use that custom keybinding (like if you have other entries in that keybinding folder that you want to use, or just something that doesnt exist so nothing would ever match)
[19:02] <Alexchr> I'm having trouble using middle click on 9.10
[19:02] <sheldon_> but it doesnt fails, just i donc have screen
[19:02] <Pici> Krabmeat: er, I'm not sure if I explained that well, let me know if I need to rephrase it.
[19:02] <sheldon_> i dont see the screen, but install runs
[19:02] <zubuntu> ola
[19:02] <Krabmeat> pici: so setting it to default wont do anything for me?
[19:03] <shane2peru> brasero has been setting there preparing to burn disk for 15min, why??
[19:03] <zubuntu> que tal alguien habla español
[19:03] <topyli> !es  | zubuntu
[19:03] <genii> !es | zubuntu
[19:03] <Pici> Krabmeat: Setting it to nearly anything other than empty will be okay, but other custom keybindings that you may have created won't work.
[19:03]  * saica ...and boom.. audio video sync explosion...
[19:04] <Pici> Krabmeat: We can try setting it to something that doesn't exist just to test if it will work.
[19:04] <zubuntu> a ok gracias es que soy nuevo i no se bien como va gracias
[19:04] <Krabmeat> pici: i am up for it if you are
[19:04] <Pici> Krabmeat: Can't hurt.
[19:04] <Zer> Howdy. I noticed that 'other' has read access on /home and all the subdirectories... is there a reason this has to be the case? Seems like it might be problematic.
[19:05] <shane2peru> !es | zubuntu
[19:05] <jriehle87> does fraps work with ubuntu?
[19:05] <hwilde> shane2peru, you are probably transcoding the dvd into a compressed format and that is taking a long time.  check your system resources see if your processor and memory are maxxing out
[19:06] <Pici> Krabmeat: Just edit the value and add something such as 'testing' in there and then see if ctrl-c errors
[19:06] <shane2peru> hwilde, it is an OpenSuse DVD downloaded, it is an iso as source, I guess I should have mentioned that, is that normal?
[19:06] <hwilde> shane2peru, well you have two options 1) wait  2) cancel and start over.
[19:07] <shane2peru> hwilde, I usually use k3b in gnome, but seems like it is pulling in even more kde deps, so I got rid of it,
[19:07] <saica> audio now poppy and ocassionally out of sync... (it's like the audio and video go for a little race... they catch up eventually, but the audio sprints off first and then the video skips around a corner to catch it...)
[19:07] <Krabmeat> pici: still errors
[19:07] <Pici> Krabmeat: argh
[19:07] <Pici> Krabmeat: This is frustrating
[19:07] <Pici> Krabmeat: You do run gnome, right?
[19:08] <Krabmeat> pici: listen, i am not entirely sure what gnome even is
[19:08] <shane2peru> hwilde, well, I guess my question is, is that normal for it to take that long?  I have burnt other iso with brasero, and don't remember waiting that long, odd.
[19:08] <jriehle87> anyone know a good app to video tape ubuntu as well as gaming?
[19:08] <Pici> Krabmeat: Um. Do you see a menu at the top of your screen that says Applications  Places  System  ?
[19:08] <hwilde> shane2peru, dvds are big.
[19:08] <seana> Hey Everyone, I deleted the directory /etc/postgresql thinking that on a re-install it would be created... It was created but the files were not. On re-install the files are still sitting in /usr/share/postgresql/...... How do I tell apt (or dpkg) to move the appropriate files over?
[19:08] <Krabmeat> pici: yes
[19:09] <saganbyte>  I ve just installed phpmyadmin using aptitude install phpmyadmin and everything went smoothly, though i cannot access it using localhost/phpmyadmin... what could i be doing wrong
[19:09] <Krabmeat> pici: yes
[19:09] <newbie_>  hi, how do i know what is the name of my local mysql database name? is there any way to know using terminal?
[19:09] <Krabmeat> oops
[19:10] <seana> saganbyte: Check to see if your apache alias was added. It probably wasn't.
[19:10] <saganbyte> seana, ah...
[19:10] <saganbyte> seana how do i check that
[19:11] <saica> also, anybody tried installing firefox 3.5 in ubuntu? if ever i do, it depends on xulrunner-1.9.1--which never reaches the end of it's postinst script
[19:11] <Pici> Krabmeat: Okay one last thing.  Please install pastebinit: sudo apt-get install pastebinit      then run     grep -R Copy ~/ | pastebinit
[19:11] <hwilde> Pici, fyi, I am liking this approach :)
[19:11] <yadudoc> Hi , I can't send any files from my nokia phone to my laptop(9.10). Does anyone know a fix for this ?
[19:12] <Flannel> seana: You need to purge the packages that those files are in (which may not be the main postgres one, but probably is in some -common one)
[19:12] <seana> Saganbyte: look in your /etc/phpmyadmin directory for an apache.conf file
[19:12] <kenyo> lolz
[19:12] <MASARUwota> !lol|kenyo
[19:12] <saganbyte> seana, ok thanks :)
[19:13] <seana> Flannel: I used dpkg -l | grep post   to locate the installed apps and have done purges of each one... :(
[19:13] <seana> saganbyte: No worries.
[19:13] <Flannel> seana: dpkg -S /path/to/file will tell you what package they're from
[19:13] <himuraken> Just loaded Ubuntu 9.10 server and the Grub install suceeded without errror. Now on boot I am at grub-rescue. Grub was instructed to install to /dev/sdc1, but from the grub-rescue   ls   shows hd* devices. How can I modify the config from rescue?
[19:13] <Pici> Krabmeat: When thats done, please let us know what the link that the command outputed is. Should be http://pastebin.com/something
[19:13] <rootEth> has anyone got tf2 working properly on ubuntu 9.10?
[19:14] <saganbyte> seana, sorry, gnome xchat closed on its own... somehow apps are getting closed on hitting enter
[19:14] <saganbyte> even evolution closes when i hit enter after adding a task
[19:14] <rww> rootEth: I've gotten it to start a few months ago. The sound and graphics were rather messed up to the point of it being unplayable, though :(
[19:14] <rek> hi i want a manual to use mldonkey to download files what can i do? i'm tryig to add some servers but i think i don't know how to use telnet i don't even know what telnet is probably, should i configure it? can you help me?
[19:14] <rootEth> yeah, I got wine workign with it and had sound but no mic
[19:14] <rek> hi pici
[19:14] <rootEth> but then I dont think mic works on ubuntu full stop tbh
[19:15] <rootEth> but on wine it had no menus or scoreboard etc
[19:15] <rootEth> I tried crossover and thats fine graphically, but got no sound
[19:15] <BluesKaj> rek, use ssh , telnet is not secure
[19:15] <Krabmeat> pici: i did what you said.. it looked like it tried to get in like 50 folders but didnt have permission
[19:15] <seana> Flannel: It shows it's from postgresql-8.4, and it's showing the files in the /usr/share/postgresql directory... however when I first installed the app the files were also placed in /etc/postgresql
[19:15] <rek> BluesKaj: ssh for mldonkey?
[19:15] <Pici> Krabmeat: Its okay, is it still running?
[19:15] <llutz> BluesKaj: mldonkey has no ssh-plugin
[19:16] <rek> hi pici i must use mldonkey
[19:16] <xangua> !sudo
[19:16] <Pici> rek: er, okay?
[19:16] <rek> hi i want a manual to use mldonkey to download files what can i do? i'm tryig to add some servers but i think i don't know how to use telnet i don't even know what telnet is probably, should i configure it? can you help me?
[19:16] <Krabmeat> pici: well, it hasnt gotten to the normal home directory line yet.. but it hasnt done aynthing in a few minuites
[19:16] <llutz> rek: www.mldonkey.org
[19:16] <Myrtti> yadudoc: how are you trying to send them?
[19:16] <rek> llutz in italian?
[19:17] <Pici> Krabmeat: It may take a while. Its searching through all the files in your home directory
[19:17] <fjordside> where to add a command to set the power mode of my wlan nic during startup, i dont want to make a new file for it... it is only one line and used to be in bootmisc, that is now gone?
[19:17] <Zer> Will anything break in Ubuntu if I change the umask to 077 by default?
[19:17] <Roasted_> hey guys - when I hit ALT F2. Nothing happens. I'm testing out gnome shell, but I dont think it should prevent me from using ALT F2 to issue a command (which if I could, I could fix a different problem Im having) what gives?
[19:18] <yadudoc> Myrtti, from the phone, using the normal send via bluetooth mode... it refuses saying unable to connect to the laptop
[19:19] <Myrtti> yadudoc: do you  have the required apps installed?
[19:19] <schatan> where do i get coretemp module?
[19:19] <Flannel> seana: purge that package, also postgresql-common, hmm, none of these packages seem to have much in /etc though
[19:19] <Flannel> The_Verve: Please don't do that
[19:20] <seana> I'm puzzled why it put stuff in /etc the first time...
[19:20] <trism> seana: postgresql doesn't seem to like to properly purge the files so you can recreate the defaults, I believe I managed to get it to work by purging both postgresql-8.4 and postgresql-common, then deleting the /etc/postgresql and /etc/postgresql-common and then reinstalling successfully recreated those /etc directories
[19:20] <methods> does ubuntu REMIX cause all windows to start MAXIMIZED ?
[19:21] <seana> trism: I'll give that a try again
[19:21] <yadudoc> Myrtti, :) I was working with gnome-bluetooth package... and it simply doesn't let me do the receive file from phone.. now i installed blueman, it removed the gnome-bluetooth package.. but file receive works..
[19:21] <methods> all my windows start MAXIMIZED !!!
[19:21] <yadudoc> Myrtti, i need to see if that broke something else
[19:21] <filip_> i can't find haw to choose a different nickname or haw to identify, for the /msg NickServ identify <passvord> i receiving the following: File not foundFirefox can't find the file at /msg NickServ identify <password>.
[19:22] <Myrtti> yadudoc: IIRC obex-data-server might be what you've looked for
[19:22] <Flannel> filip_: Do that in your chat window (where you're typing right now) not the address bar
[19:23] <Roasted_> Is there another way I can do the ALT F2 thing? ALT F2 isnt working on my system for some reason. How else can I use ALT F2 to issue a command?
[19:23] <hwilde> Roasted_, its  ctrl+alt+f2
[19:23] <yadudoc> Myrtti, i tried that too... did not work... btw right now blueman is working like a wiz.... sending files at 170kbps over bluetooth compared to speeds of 50-70kbps for old gnome-bluetooth
[19:23] <Krabmeat> pici: it seems like its stuck. hasnt done anything in like 10 mins
[19:23] <ardchoille> Roasted_: are you using ubuntu with the gnome desktop?
[19:24] <SandGorgon> anyone know if the development of mrxvt is going ahead - it's my favorite terminal .. so much faster and just as many features as gnome-term
[19:24] <chopin> anyone know of the proper, up-to-date, foolproof broadcom troubleshooting page?  found about a dozen out there with conflicting ideas ...
[19:24] <yadudoc> Myrtti, i installed almost everypackage synaptic listed with bluetooth in the name... finally its working :)
[19:25] <jrib> !wifi | chopin, the wiki is usually the best place
[19:25] <yadudoc> Myrtti, thanks anyway for your help
[19:25] <wh19011> I use..
[19:25] <Roasted> hey thanks hwilde. It killed my display and I had to reboot.
[19:25] <SandGorgon> chopin, I have broadcom b43 as wel - the best way I found was to install b43-fwcutter
[19:25] <chopin> ubottu: mmkay, thanks ... /me keeps reading
[19:25] <Pici> Krabmeat: er.  Press ctrl-c to cancel it (hopefully your error won't cause that to fail) and then run find -R Copy ~/ > tempfile ; pastebinit tempfile
[19:25] <chopin> SandGorgon: yeah, ran some b43-fwcutter stuff but still kinda confused :-/
[19:26] <ardchoille> Roasted: you could have pressed ctrl+alt+f7 to return to your desktop
[19:26] <Roasted> If ALT F2 doesnt work on my karmic laptop to issue a command, how else can I do it?
[19:26] <ardchoille> Roasted: are  you using gnome? and is your panel working?
[19:26] <infid> anyone know quicksynergy? I'm running it and ps ax says 'synergys -f --config .quicksynergy/synergy.c' is running but netstat doesn't show anything on port 24800 and it's not working when i move my mouse off screen
[19:27] <Krabmeat> pici: you mean hit q to cancel
[19:27] <Roasted> ardchoille - Im using gnome, yes, but Im using gnome shell. Testing it out. Previously I had ALT F2 working, but ALT F2 doesnt work now and I have no idea why.
[19:27] <Pici> Krabmeat: q?
[19:27] <filip_> Thank you for your orientation, Flannel.
[19:27] <SandGorgon> chopin, run /usr/share/b43-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh
[19:27] <ardchoille> Roasted: that may be the reason. hit the Super key and use the Find box to launch apps
[19:27] <Krabmeat> pici: why would control+c cancel this process?
[19:27] <aliquerer> i want to create a "blog" but only for private, i.e. not publishing it only have it on my computer like diary. How do i do?
[19:28] <rek> llutz: i dn't see about the configuration without using the web interface
[19:28] <chopin> SandGorgon: cool, i'll try that
[19:28] <Roasted> ardchollie - The thing is, Im having a small issue in gnome shell which is a common bug and its being looked at. The current fix it to ALT F2 and type restart. Thta fixes the issue. But I cant get to ALT F2 to issue that command...
[19:28] <ardchoille> Roasted: I used gnome shell but I don't remember ever trying alt+f2
[19:28] <Pici> Krabmeat: ctrl-c is used on linux terminals to stop a running process
[19:28] <rek> pici is there a conf file of mldonkey ?
[19:28] <Roasted> ardchoille - My mouse cursor disappears when I click on Activities. A few other users reported it. The work around was ALT F2 "restart" and it fixed it.
[19:28] <nintnint> so turns out I just needed to go into synaptic and say prefer jaunty
[19:28] <Pici> rek: I don't know, I've never used the program.
[19:28] <ardchoille> Roasted: weird
[19:28] <Krabmeat> pici: oh, i get the same error message
[19:29] <nintnint> oh what a tangled web i wove
[19:29] <Roasted> ardchoille - but like I said, I cant get to ALT F2 to issue restart so Im stuck... do you know any way else I can get to ALT F2?
[19:29] <Pici> Krabmeat: Did the running process stop?
[19:29] <Krabmeat> pici: it wont cancel
[19:29] <ardchoille> Roasted: no, sorry
[19:29] <Pici> Krabmeat: press ctrl-z then and then run kill -9 whateverNumberItReported
[19:30] <rek> llutz: i dn't see about the configuration without using the web interface
[19:30] <LucidGuy> Anyone familiar with ddrescue images?  Trying to mount the image created by ddrescue(gddrescue) and it continues to give me type errors etc.  I'm not too sure if it was a fat or ntfs.  It seems that the disk label is damaged and have no idea how to restore, any advice would be appreciated.
[19:31] <Krabmeat> pici: ok no numbers were reported, but it is back to the normal start
[19:31] <Parabola> LucidGuy,  what errors are you getting
[19:31] <Krabmeat> pici: now should i run the find command you stated earlier
[19:31] <Pici> Krabmeat: Good enough.  Yes, please
[19:32] <LucidGuy> parabola, disk label errors.
[19:32] <Xpistos|work> How do I know if a site is using silverlight?
[19:32] <llutz> rek: http://bit.ly/86yb3z
[19:33] <Xpistos|work> or if moonlight works
[19:33] <obiwan_> please, could anybody confirm that hq/hd youtube vids besides better video quality, have sound enhanced? i'm not sure about sound . thanks
[19:33] <aliquerer> i want to create a "blog" but only for private, i.e. not publishing it only have it on my computer like diary. How do i do?
[19:33] <jrib> obiwan_: that's a question for youtube
[19:33] <Krabmeat> pici: says "unknown predicate -R"
[19:33] <obiwan_> download a template and start it aliquerer , it's that easy :)
[19:34] <obiwan_> ok i'll try a #youtube channel thanks jrib
[19:34] <aliquerer> obiwan_: what template
[19:34] <Roasted> Hey guys - I don't have ALT F2 functionality anymore. My key binding for it is correct. Tried others - no dice. How can I get ALT F2 to work again?
[19:34] <jrib> obiwan_: check their website on how to contact them
[19:34] <mtaftm> Hello anyone good with webcam issues? would appreciate the help x]
[19:34] <jrib> Roasted: are you using gnome-panel?
[19:34] <jrib> !webcam | mtaftm
[19:34] <Pici> Krabmeat: Sory, I gave you the wrong command. Its:   grep -R Copy ~/ > tempfile ; pastebinit tempfile
[19:34] <obiwan_> don't know aliquerer , search blog templates
[19:34] <llutz> aliquerer: install local webserver (lightttp), php, mysql and blog-soft of your choice (i.e. wordpress)
[19:34] <ardchoille> jrib: he's using gnome-shell
[19:35] <Roasted> jrib - using gnome-shell. But it worked previously. I rebooted and it stopped working. :(
[19:35] <obiwan_> jrib: i don't feel like mailing youtube staff and stuff just to ask this question, i'll try a youtube chan or a video chan or sth
[19:35] <obiwan_> ahah that's  funny , roasted -(j)rib xP

[19:40] <Krabmeat> pici: i have a feeling this is just going to take an hour or two
[19:40] <Pici> Krabmeat: I have a bad feeling too
[19:40] <zoobox> obiwan_: nope. no french here.   je ne pas parles francais :-)
[19:40] <Myrtti> Colloguy: not that I know of.
[19:40] <Krabmeat> pici: i think i am going to do something else. will you be around later or is there something i should do when i get back and this is done
[19:40] <luist> what is oss and non-oss?
[19:40] <obiwan_> :P zoobox then no idea
[19:41] <pha> no one have a clue?
[19:41] <Roasted> I has no alt f2. :( how can I fixx
[19:41] <Pici> Krabmeat: I'm always on IRC, I may not be at my computer though.  You can message me and I can get back to you when I return.
[19:41] <Roasted> luist - oss = open source software.
[19:41] <Krabmeat> pici: thanks. i really appreciate that help :-)

[19:43] <genii> zoobox: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=525641
[19:43] <MASARUwota> Roasted: no ALT F2? what?
[19:43] <genii> zoobox: So Fileroller
[19:43] <ekristen> good afternoon
[19:43] <Myrtti> ekristen: evening
[19:44] <ekristen> I have an AMD Athlon 64 3400+ put my /proc/cpuinfo shows it as only as a 1000 MHz processor?!
[19:44] <ekristen> its a 2.2GHz processor
[19:44] <Myrtti> ekristen: would you perhaps have powerstepping on?
[19:44] <EpsilonEX> Hello, question: I messed up my GUI in Ubuntu NBR and want to copy files in my home directory while using a bootable flash drive but can't because I don
[19:44] <infid> ubuntu keeps playing sounds whenever firefox shows a popup. how can i disable that?
[19:44] <Roasted> MASARUwota - ALT F2 doesnt work for me. It just doesnt. Granted Im testing gnome shell, but it was working a half hour ago. Now its just dead. Even tried other hot keys for it.
[19:44] <MrKeuner> hello, top shows load average as 3.61 for the last minute but I cannot see any cpu usage higher than 23%/400% on a 4 core system, how can I see which app is causing system slow down?
[19:44] <ekristen> Myrtti: not familiar with that? what is it?
[19:45] <daftykins> ekristen: watch -n 0.1 'cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz'
[19:45] <EpsilonEX> Hello, question: I messed up my GUI in Ubuntu NBR and want to copy files in my home directory while using a bootable flash drive but can't because I don't have the permissions. How do I gain permissions so I can do that. (sorry, accidentally pressed enter before)
[19:45] <daftykins> cause some load, then see if your clocks change
[19:45] <Myrtti> ekristen: when the applications and programs need more processing power, the processor speed is hastened
[19:45] <blakkheim> daftykins: why would you do that? grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo
[19:45]  * daftykins wonders why Myrtti doesn't grace the UK chan anymore (:
[19:46] <daftykins> blakkheim: to cut out all the unnecessary junk. try it.
[19:46] <Myrtti> ekristen: it's to do with powersaving and overheating
[19:46] <blakkheim> daftykins: they give exactly the same output
[19:46] <ekristen> jr,
[19:46] <ekristen> hrm
[19:46] <ekristen> anything wrong with turning it off?
[19:46] <daftykins> blakkheim: no, it's dynamic, by using 'watch' you keep checking it every 0.1 seconds
[19:47] <daftykins> so then run some programs to create load, and if intel speedstep / amd cool'n'quiet is in place, it'll show you the core frequency change.
[19:47] <frangor> join #launchpad
[19:47] <frangor> ups
[19:47] <SandGorgon> MrKeuner, I hope u have basic optimizations in place, e.g. noatime for your filesystem mounts, etc.
[19:48] <mtaftm> my linux just restarted sorry, anyway yes anyone good at solving webcam issues?
[19:48] <EpsilonEX> I'll wait, should be fairly simple, just asking how to change permissions on another linux drive
[19:48] <SandGorgon> mtaftm, i recently compiled drivers for my uvc webcam
[19:48] <ekristen> Myrtti: any problems with disabling it? I am trying to verify that it does change
[19:48] <pha> hi there, I have ubuntu 9.10 server - I just installed ubuntu-desktop ... and rebooted, but it's still not running desktop, have I done something wrong? .... any help would be greatly appreciated!
[19:48] <mtaftm> SandGorgon: my knowledge on linux is very little what do you mean ?
[19:49] <daftykins> pha confirm it's installed properly by running "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" or "sudo service gdm start"
[19:49] <ekristen> Myrtti: I see it fluctuating
[19:49] <SandGorgon> mtaftm, why dont u install a software called "cheese" and see if ur webcam works
[19:49] <Myrtti> ekristen: if you don't mind an increased powerusage, shorter batterylife if using a laptop and perhaps a bit higher CPU temperatures, then no. But for normal user, there's no need to disable it
[19:49] <pha> gdm start/running, process 3965 ... seems to be running then.
[19:49] <urthmover> I am trying to build a plugin for irssi.  part of a config file is asking for  "export IRSSI_INCLUDE=/path/to/irssi/sources"  considering I installed irssi using  sudo apt-get install irssi  What is the path to the irssi sources?
[19:50] <ekristen> Myrtti: its a media center, encoding a lot of video
[19:50] <pha> but when I type ps aux I don't see the process?
[19:50] <ekristen> so I am trying to decide if it will be of advantage for me to disable it
[19:50] <Myrtti> ekristen: the cpu speed should go up when needed
[19:50] <daftykins> pha: hit ctrl+alt+f7
[19:50] <mtaftm> SandGorgon: i have already tryed cheese but had no luck, or webcam studio , also i went into gstreamer properties no luck there either
[19:50] <Myrtti> and stay up too
[19:50] <thevishy> xubuntu desktop ?
[19:50] <thevishy> how to remove ....
[19:50] <thevishy> !dpkg
[19:50] <ekristen> cool thanks
[19:50] <pha> daftykins, isn't doing a thing mate.
[19:50] <zoobox> genii: ah thanks. I must have looked into compressed files now and then
[19:50] <Myrtti> ekristen: you'll probably not even notice a difference in performance, how much RAM do you have?
[19:50] <seana> trism: It works now. What had to be done was to manually delete any files and directories that remained after the purge. During a purge there are still directories that remain. If you don't delete them then apt or dpkg will not do a fully 100% fresh install.
[19:51] <pha> I appreciate this help though people, thank-you very much.
[19:51] <thevishy> how to remove xubuntu desktop from my computer ?
[19:51] <ekristen> 512 right now ... lol ... 4GB in about an hour
[19:51] <jrib> urthmover: in debian/ubuntu headers are usually in a separate -dev package
[19:51] <daftykins> pha hrmm, to be honest i'm not fond of server 9.10 since it's non-LTS, are you sure you're fully updated and upgraded? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:51] <Myrtti> ekristen: I'd say adding that RAM will have more effect on the performance :-)
[19:51] <SandGorgon> mtaftm, i think u'll need to manually compile the webcam drivers (what are called gspca drivers) - read http://github.com/sandys/scripts/blob/master/dot.config and see if u can understand it
[19:52] <thevishy> !uninstall
[19:52] <ekristen> Myrtti: definitely
[19:52] <ekristen> just waiting on the UPS guy
[19:52] <mtaftm> ok thanks ill let you know
[19:52] <ekristen> question ... 64bit ubuntu?
[19:52] <Myrtti> ekristen: yes?
[19:52] <ekristen> is there one? I can only seem to find 32bit
[19:52] <Myrtti> sure, there is
[19:52] <ekristen> thought so
[19:53] <urthmover> jrib: so you are saying that I need to sudo apt-get install irssi-dev  ?
[19:53] <jrib> urthmover: yes, what plugin is this?
[19:53] <urthmover> jrib: then when I do that what will I need to put for that config file path to irssi sources?
[19:53] <Myrtti> ekristen: if you click the "Alternative download options, including Ubuntu installer for Windows", you'll see an option for 64-bit
[19:53] <urthmover> jrib: irssi-xmpp
[19:53] <jrib> !info irssi-plugin-xmpp | urthmover
[19:53] <rek> jrib: how can i config irssi
[19:53] <ekristen> I'm blind
[19:53] <Myrtti> ekristen: and for other download options too
[19:53] <ekristen> thanks
[19:54] <jrib> rek: irssi.org, click on documentation :)
[19:54] <ekristen> I forgot this system was 64 bit, so I am going to re-install
[19:54] <Hydrosis> irssi, sint that text based IRC?
[19:54] <rek> lol jrib
[19:54] <rek> rib like your ribs?
[19:54] <ekristen> Myrtti: that should help too ;)
[19:54] <daftykins> Hydrosis: it's a CLI client yes
[19:54] <jrib> rek: it's a river!
[19:54] <blakkheim> irssi is great
[19:55] <EpsilonEX> So... I screwed up GUI, semi-newbie, I'm not good with commands; Can access my files using a USB boot of ubuntu, but don't have permission to access home directory; What do I do?
[19:55] <urthmover> hmm jrib so what I gather from it being in the universe repositor  that I can just sudo apt-get install irssi-plugin-xmpp  and I should have it  right?
[19:55] <jrib> EpsilonEX: expand on how you "screwed up GUI"
[19:55] <thevishy> !xubuntu
[19:55] <jrib> urthmover: yse
[19:55] <ekristen> thanks Myrtti I appreciate it
[19:55] <urthmover> great thanks jrib
[19:55] <MASARUwota> EpsilonEX: chroot or chown
[19:55] <mtaftm> right i think i have found the problem, i just ran lsusb several times and the webcam driver is there on one lsusb run then not on the other, i just think the webcam itself if broke, cheers anyway
[19:56] <Myrtti> ekristen: np
[19:56] <EpsilonEX> jrib: i was trying to get skype to work properly on my netbook, uninstalled pulseaudio but removed my gui along with it
[19:56] <jrib> EpsilonEX: install it back then?
[19:56] <EpsilonEX> i don't know how from command prompt
[19:56] <jrib> EpsilonEX: are you in Recovery Mode now?
[19:56] <EpsilonEX> i'm not good with commands
[19:56] <MrKeuner> SandGorgon, I have noaidea what noatime is, checking into that thanks
[19:57] <EpsilonEX> i'm using the usb boot drive of ubuntu, i just wanted to copy the old files and reformat because i had a few other problems anyways
[19:57] <blakkheim> EpsilonEX: the commandline is a very useful tool
[19:57] <jrib> EpsilonEX: gksudo nautilus
[19:57] <Xpistos|work> I LOVE THE COMMAND LINE!
[19:58] <EpsilonEX> ah
[19:58] <LucidGuy> trying to mount a damaged drive(was winXP) with a livecd(ubuntu) and parted gives me the error "/dev/sda unrecognised disk label"  Any ideas how I can resolve the disk label?  Just want to try and mount the disk and move off whatever data is recoverable.
[19:58] <Xpistos|work> I can't use it very well, but what I know I love
[19:58] <zoobox> ekristen/Myrtti, something that would be fun is a system/administration or settings something "convert my allready installed 32bit ubuntu to 64bit" that automaticly downloads and replaces with 64bit files, wouldn't you think? :-)
[19:58] <freeagent5041> command line is hard
[19:58] <mtaftm> Hey guys another question, what program would i use to test to see if my microphone is working?
[19:58] <Hydrosis> Xpistos|work, I do too, but that's only because I enjoy a challenge.  Most people absolutly HATE the idea of it.  It feels like DOS to old timers, and they hate it.
[19:58] <Xpistos|work> freeagent5041: but it is worth the time it takes to learn
[19:58] <yo2boy> command line isn't 'hard' it's just that you haven't learned it well enough.
[19:58] <daftykins> LucidGuy: try adding "-o force"
[19:58] <freeagent5041> hey does anyone know how to extend the time countdown in the Grub menu???????
[19:59] <yo2boy> everyone goes through that phase of change
[19:59] <jrib> freeagent5041: what version of ubuntu?
[19:59] <EpsilonEX> yay, perfect!
[19:59] <Hydrosis> mtaftm, you CANT hear sound coming from speakers in Karmic via microphone, so you need to test sound.  Try Sound Recorder, its pre-installed in Ubuntu i think.
[19:59] <Xpistos|work> yo2boy: No be fair. in this world of GUis it is hard to get acclamated
[19:59] <hwilde> freeagent5041, /boot/grub/menu.lst   timeout
[19:59] <daftykins> freeagent5041: timeout number in /boot/grub/menu.lst if it's grub 1
[19:59] <freeagent5041> nbr
[19:59] <EpsilonEX> thanks for the help
[19:59] <mtaftm> oh yh lol cheers
[20:00] <jrib> !grub2 | freeagent5041, if you are using grub2
[20:00] <freeagent5041> thanks
[20:00] <MrKeuner> SandGorgon, ext4 was enabled relatime by default by ubuntu installation
[20:00] <Xpistos|work> Don't get me wrong, I would rename a ton of files in the terminal , that is gprename's job, but still. Plus I like my servers headless!
[20:00] <freeagent5041> i am not using grub2 anymore
[20:00] <Xpistos|work> or wouldn't rename them in the terminal I mean
[20:00] <Xpistos|work> stupid fingers
[20:00] <blakkheim> Xpistos|work: another gprename fan, nice :)
[20:01] <Xpistos|work> blakkheim: Like anything in linux, there is a learning curve. But when you are over the hump ... Oh mama!
[20:01] <xteejx> hey guys, anyone know how to setup lvm with different Ubuntu versions' snapshots for testing purposes?
[20:01] <hwilde> xteejx, virtualbox ?
[20:01] <Xpistos|work> And I just got my wife to convert to Mint so victory there as well
[20:01] <Xpistos|work> we are a windows free household
[20:02] <mtaftm> lmao great now my microphone aint working :@
[20:02] <xteejx> hwilde: I was hoping to use it natively so that it can see my hardware directly
[20:02] <Hydrosis> What does Mint offer that Ubuntu doesnt besides proprietary drivers?
[20:02] <Hydrosis> What does Mint offer that Ubuntu doesnt besides proprietary drivers? Xpistos|work
[20:02] <yo2boy> uglyness
[20:02] <xteejx> fresh breath lol
[20:02] <yo2boy> lol jk
[20:02] <thevishy> ask in Mint channel
[20:02] <Xpistos|work> Hydrosis: You have to know my wife
[20:02] <blakkheim> Xpistos|work: if you could see my setup you would know i'm a big fan of the cli, but gprename is still cool
[20:02] <Myrtti> !offtopic
[20:02] <Xpistos|work> She is willing to convert, so I will just be happy with that
[20:02] <hwilde> xteejx,  just put them on separate partitions and then learn grub ?
[20:02] <BluesKaj> Xpistos|work, how did you convince your wife to drop windows ?:)
[20:03] <Hydrosis> Asking how one OS compares to Ubuntu IS on topic kids.
[20:03] <Xpistos|work> LOL
[20:03] <Xpistos|work> BluesKaj: MS did that for me
[20:03] <daftykins> plus the offtopic channel ignore you, so i don't blame you there :P
[20:03] <Diverdude> what bit torrent client do you recommend?
[20:03] <BluesKaj> virus ?
[20:03] <Xpistos|work> Little thing called Windows 7
[20:03] <xteejx> hwilde: I suppose that is an option :D
[20:03] <yo2boy> transmission dood
[20:03] <Hydrosis> Diverdude, I use the one that coems with Ubuntu, Transmission
[20:03] <mtaftm> how would i test to see is my microphone is working, its not working in sound recorder :(
[20:03] <yo2boy> simple and its there
[20:03] <infid> blakkheim: have you tried mmv?
[20:03] <nibbler> mtaftm: that is pretty much the test .|
[20:04] <blakkheim> infid: nope, should i?
[20:04] <Diverdude> Hydrosis, where do i find that?
[20:04] <schilli> My dad will convert as soon as he can be assured that a Verison USB mobile broadband devise would work with *nix
[20:04] <BluesKaj> Xpistos|work, W7 isn't network friendly with other windows versions
[20:04] <infid> blakkheim: if you like the cli, it can do that gprename stuff from the cli
[20:04] <Xpistos|work> She is having a problem with our new epson artisian 810 printer and between support for it and her nagging network lag she decided to switch
[20:04] <mtaftm> so my microphone is now broke in linux, great :/
[20:04] <yo2boy> Diverdude: its in ubuntu
[20:04] <yo2boy> ...
[20:04] <zoobox> mtaftm: so everything else sound-stuf works but not the mic?
[20:04] <blakkheim> infid: oh ok, i'll give it a tryr
[20:04] <nibbler> schilli: this stuff works pretty fine, just use the live-version to verify
[20:04] <hwilde> mtaftm, it's probably just muted.  check in alsamixer
[20:04] <Hydrosis> Diverdude, if you have Ubuntu it's in Applications > internet > transmission
[20:05] <Xpistos|work> She has had 2 major virus infections, thanks to my son
[20:05] <llutz> blakkheim: have a look at "rename"  too, very handy
[20:05] <Diverdude> yes i found it
[20:05] <mtaftm> what alsamixer?
[20:05] <hattoricaca> schilli: i don't live in the states but have usb 3g from months in ubuntu
[20:05] <Diverdude> cool, thx
[20:05] <nibbler> mtaftm: check your sound settings maybe its just muted
[20:05] <ikkerus> hey guys...
[20:05] <trucklover> Both of my parents are on extremely old computers. Dad has a 900Mhz single cpu mini desktop with 256MB of RAM.  I got him to switch to Ubuntu for several reasons
[20:05] <Diverdude> Hydrosis, where do you search for torrent files then?
[20:05] <schilli> nibbler, really?  I'm off to look it up...
[20:05]  * Do-Do BaCk !!! :)
[20:05] <Pici> Can we please stay on topic?
[20:05] <Pici> !ot
[20:05] <soreau>  ! torrent | Diverdude
[20:05] <schilli> live version to verify?
[20:06] <hwilde> !who
[20:06] <nibbler> schilli: boot the cd, plug it. it will be detected and you have to specify your provider, to use the preconfigured settings
[20:06] <trucklover> Where is the topic listed Pici?
[20:06] <mtaftm> do i go into sound prefrences ?
[20:06] <Xpistos|work> So to recap: Windows 7 is expensive and she had windows xp, Viruses, Network connection issues, everything else in the house is either Ubuntu or Centos. Plus my pleading with her. She decided to switch
[20:06] <Hydrosis> Diverdude, you go to torrent sites to get torrents.  Where else would you get them/?  PirateBay, H33t, Demonoid etc.
[20:06] <soreau> trucklover: Type /topic here and you will see it
[20:06] <hwilde> mtaftm, type alsamixer in command line.
[20:06] <alont> q
[20:06] <Xpistos|work> And the printer
[20:06] <Myrtti> Xpistos|work: great, welcome to #ubuntu-offtopic!
[20:06] <blakkheim> Xpistos|work: good to hear it bro
[20:06] <Pici> trucklover: /topic should shoow you, but this channel is for Ubuntu support Only.  #ubuntu-offtopic exists for chat.
[20:06] <Flannel> trucklover: This is a support channel, if you're discussing Ubuntu stuff that isn't support, #ubuntu-offtopic is the place to be
[20:06] <hwilde> !offtopic | Xpistos|work
[20:06] <Diverdude> Hydrosis, i just dont know any torrentsites
[20:07] <trucklover> thanks soreau.  I'm an IRC noob using Colloquy
[20:07] <Hydrosis> mtaftm, open sound preferences and make sure Mic or Line-In is checked and enabled.
[20:07] <Xpistos|work> Gott it
[20:07] <hwilde> Diverdude, this is not a file sharing chat room.
[20:07] <yo2boy> Diverdude: its called Searching on the internet.
[20:07] <schilli> nibbler: thanks
[20:07] <Xpistos|work> hwilde sorry
[20:07] <filip_> It saying invalid password for Filip_.
[20:07] <nibbler> schilli: i didnt know that, untill i plugged my phone for charging to my usb, and ubuntu offered me to go online ;-p
[20:07] <yo2boy> clear
[20:07] <yo2boy> err, forgot slash
[20:08] <Hydrosis> Diverdude, I just named a few.  I hate to say use google, but that's the only thing I can suggest.  Simply search for "torrent sites" or something to that nature.  Transmission is a good little application to have on Ubuntu.
[20:08] <Diverdude> Hydrosis, yes it is
[20:08] <infid> ubuntu keeps playing sounds whenever firefox shows a popup. how can i disable that?
[20:08] <trucklover> thanks Flannel and Pici.  I'll head over to that channel
[20:08] <mtaftm> Hydrosis: i put it on microphone 1, when i cough or something the input level moves, i checked that first, but when i go into sound recorder no sound is being recorded :/
[20:08] <yo2boy> infid: abp
[20:09] <infid> ?
[20:09] <yo2boy> ad block plus
[20:09] <mtaftm> it might be because in sound recorder its recording from master ?
[20:09] <infid> yo2boy: no i dont want a popup blocker, i want *ubuntu* to stop playing sound effects when windows pop up, etc
[20:09] <infid> it does that little drumroll
[20:09] <Hydrosis> mtaftm, doesnt surprise me.  In my lone opinion, Ubuntu is garbage for sound recording.  Maybe you should ask around for people involved with the Ubuntu Studio project (ubuntu for recording artists).  They should be able to assist you.
[20:09] <jajec> po wpisaniu grub-update wywala błąd :/ grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /.
[20:10] <mtaftm> ok thanks
[20:10] <notk0> hello, while copying a file from a NTFS external hdd to a usb key, ubuntu is very non-responsive
[20:10] <hwilde> infid, I do not think that ubuntu plays sounds when windows popup in firefox.  i've never heard of that before
[20:10] <Hydrosis> jajec, sorry I dont speak Polish.  I dont understand your error.
[20:10] <infid> i never had that either but i am now hwilde
[20:10] <infid> hwilde: for example when i switch to private browsing mode, it makes sounds
[20:10] <blakkheim> notk0: there is an overhead because ubuntu (ntfs3g specifically) has to do more work writing to ntfs
[20:10] <hwilde> infid, I suspect you installed some type of plugin or addon in tifrefox that is making the noise.
[20:10] <Hydrosis> infid, you can disable sounds in yoru sound preference setting
[20:10] <infid> hwilde:  i have not
[20:11] <hwilde> infid, well, that is not default behavior.
[20:11] <mtaftm> Does anyone know if labtec works well with linux, i might go and get one now lol
[20:11] <infid> thanks Hydrosis
[20:11] <saganbyte> How do I check if Java is installed and what version is it.. i want to check it so that i can install eclipse
[20:11] <infid> hwilde: apparently it is, this is a fresh install
[20:11] <fakeer> Installed ubuntuzilla in Ubuntu . "Check for updates" stopped working. Uninstalled ubuntuzilla. "update check" still doesn't work. How to keep firefox go with offiicial Ubuntu repo versions?
[20:11] <notk0> blakkheim but in the older versions I never had this problem. I could still use the system, now it literally  becomes useless while copying
[20:11] <Hydrosis> Sound Preferences > uncheck the "Enable window and button sounds" infid
[20:11] <notk0> even the clock can freeze for some time
[20:11] <infid> thanks Hydrosis , it worked
[20:11] <Hydrosis> No problem infid
[20:11] <freeagent5041> I am thinking about reinstalling everything and going back to GRUB2
[20:12] <benkong2> yo
[20:12] <notk0> blackxored,  also I am copying to a Fat partition, from a NTFS partition
[20:12] <infid> Hydrosis: well disabling the sound theme worked, 'enable window and button sounds' was already unchecked
[20:12] <Skywalker> anybody for help?
[20:12] <goose> can someone help walk me through using gparted to create a new 10 GiB partition?
[20:12] <Hydrosis> freeagent5041, if you're planning on leaving Ubuntu for this release, I suggest Fedora.  It's sexy this time 'round.
[20:12] <blackxored> notk0, what does have to do with me, sorrY?
[20:12] <mtaftm> Does labtec webcam work in linux at all anyone ?
[20:13] <freeagent5041> hydrosis: i aint leaving
[20:13] <Hydrosis> goose, you need to be on a Live CD or a different partition than the one you're parting.
[20:13] <Duskao> hehe. How do I change my wallpaper on kubuntu? I'm a gnome guy, but trying kde.
[20:13] <notk0> blackxored,  sorry auto-completion choosed your name first
[20:13] <Guest43475> anybody for help pm please..
[20:13] <zleap> mtaftm, think so, my old one did,  before i attempted the hackaday thing to turn it n to a ir camera
[20:13] <hattoricaca> saganbyte: check if you have sun-java-* packages
[20:13] <freeagent5041> hydrosis: i like NBR
[20:13] <blackxored> notk0, I see :P
[20:13] <freeagent5041> how is fedora???
[20:13] <hwilde> !ask | Guest43475
[20:13] <yo2boy> alright
[20:13] <goose> Hydrosis: I'm on the Live CD. I'm installing to a mac, so I have to create the ubuntu partition manually.
[20:13] <zleap> i think it uses the qc (quick cam) driver (kernel module so you need to compile and use modprobe i think
[20:13] <yo2boy> better than opensuse imo
[20:13] <freeagent5041> can i triple boot with fedora
[20:13] <blakkheim> freeagent5041: yes
[20:13] <hwilde> this is not a fedora opensuse chat.
[20:13] <Hydrosis> goose: keep asking, somone will assist you.
[20:13] <notk0> freeagent5041,  yes you can
[20:13] <mtaftm> ok cheers ill go and get one now
[20:13] <Duskao> suse.... yuck. partner with ms....
[20:14] <freeagent5041> win 7, NBR, Fed???
[20:14] <infid> does Mozy work in ubuntu?
[20:14] <goose> Hydrosis: heh..thanks
[20:14] <Hydrosis> goose: sorry, Im not a Mac guy, no idea how that works.
[20:14] <blakkheim> goose: right click the partition, choose resize/move, make 10gb free, click apply - you're done
[20:14] <notk0> blackkheim , I tend to think it's a 9.10 specific problem
[20:14] <saganbyte> hattoricaca, do i try to search that in synaptic
[20:14] <blakkheim> notk0: i'm not sure since i don't use ubuntu, but it is possible
[20:15] <freeagent5041> is the partition setup for Fedora the same as ubuntu???
[20:15] <notk0> blakkheim, what are you using?
[20:15] <goose> blakkheim: so resizing /dev/sda2, I'm going to take the maximum size, subtract 10240 (10 GiB) and resize it to that?
[20:15] <hattoricaca> saganbyte yes you can use synaptic
[20:15] <blakkheim> notk0: gentoo on desktop, arch on laptop, debian on server
[20:15] <blakkheim> goose: yes
[20:15] <MASARUwota> freeagent5041> is the partition setup for Fedora the same as ubuntu???
 blakkheim, what are you using?
 blakkheim: so resizing /dev/sda2, I'm going to take the maximum size,
[20:15] <MASARUwota>           subtract 10240 (10 GiB) and resize it to that?
 saganbyte yes you can use synaptic
[20:15] <FloodBot2> MASARUwota: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:15] <notk0> blakkheim,  I see
[20:15] <freeagent5041> i noticed for ubuntu
[20:16] <freeagent5041> the partition should be left as unallocated
[20:16] <blakkheim> notk0: none of them freeze up when writing to ntfs, but the cpu usage is fairly high
[20:16] <saganbyte> hattoricaca, can i check using the terminal, synaptic is upating
[20:16] <Guest43475> how to enable visual effects in ubuntu 9.10?
[20:16] <notk0> blakkheim,  I never had this problem prior to 9.10 :(
[20:16] <benkong2> how can I make sure nautilus is the default file manager? I run openbox also so I use pcman there but when in gnome I want nautilus but get pcman
[20:16] <notk0> blakkheim,  apparently it isn't even copying directly now, but to some temp partition
[20:16] <iqbal> ast
[20:17] <freeagent5041> is Fedora worth taking a look at????
[20:17] <hattoricaca> saganbyte: terminal apps use the same db, if synaptic is using it then you have to wait
[20:17] <infid> freeagent5041: i like fedora for servers
[20:17] <Pici> freeagent5041: Perhaps you should ask the Fedora people.  This channel is for Ubuntu support
[20:17] <notk0> freeagent5041,  depends for what you want to use it, it's not Desktop oriented kinda
[20:17] <Hydrosis> Can anyone tell me why the Update Manager keeps asking me to update "devede" but will NOT allow me to check the box?  I get this every update.
[20:17] <saganbyte> hattoricaca, ok
[20:17] <notk0> freeagent5041,  there is #linux
[20:17] <infid> freeagent5041: but it's a lot different than ubuntu so you'll have to learn other commands to set stuff up
[20:17] <SoNiC> hallo,  wie kann ich einen menüeintrag bei wine (programm bereits deinstalliert) wieder weglöschen?
[20:17] <Guest43475> !hwilde how to  enable visual effects?
[20:18] <notk0> SoNic english
[20:18] <Pici> !de | SoNiC
[20:18] <Hydrosis> SoNiC, sprache english?
[20:18] <Hydrosis> Guest43475, right click desktop, change background and then the last tab on the right
[20:19] <hattoricaca> saganbyte: BUT you can check if you have the libs in /usr/lib/jvm/java*
[20:19] <addictamed> how to install latest mono on ubuntu
[20:19] <blakkheim> addictamed: why would you want to :(
[20:20] <hattoricaca> if you have'em is quite possible you have the packages installed
[20:20] <addictamed> someone needs .Net and i use ubuntu / foss
[20:20] <saganbyte> hattoricaca, ok
[20:20] <goose> blakkheim: what's the rule on creating a swap size? twice the RAM? I forget
[20:20] <addictamed> @blakkheim if i have to help, i need to be able to run it on my ubuntu machine
[20:20] <saganbyte> hattoricaca, basically i just navigate to /usr/lib/jvm/java and check?
[20:20] <blakkheim> goose: do you want to suspend to disk? how much ram do you have?
[20:21] <hattoricaca> yeah, or in a terminal "find /usr/lib/jvm"
[20:21] <didiermah> !french
[20:21] <saganbyte> hattoricaca, there is no folder called jvm in my /use/lib/ folder
[20:22] <didiermah> bonsoir
[20:22] <hattoricaca> it you haven't got that folder i'd say you don't have java :(4
[20:22] <notk0> guys who lost the game?
[20:22] <MASARUwota> notk0: you did
[20:22] <goose> blakkheim: 512 MiB. And sure, let's say he wants to suspend it.
[20:22] <notk0> MASARUwota,  no u!
[20:22] <saganbyte> hattoricaca, ok... this java thing i m trying to install, is it the same as jre or jdk?
[20:22] <Flare183> !ot | notk0
[20:23] <blakkheim> goose: ouch, then you should make it just a bit more than 512mb,
[20:23] <hattoricaca> jdk is heavier and you won't need it to simply use java progs, install jre
[20:23] <blakkheim> goose: you need at least as much swap as ram if you want to suspend to disk, but you'll also want a bit more for such a low ram system
[20:23] <goose> blakkheim: 1 GiB safe?
[20:24] <Majora> Ubuntu (9.04) has a partitioner right? how would I access it in the absence of a LiveCD?
[20:24] <blakkheim> goose: yes
[20:24] <outer_space> after a while my browser stops playing sound and crashes when i try to close it, how do i fix that?
[20:24] <Flare183> Majora: install gparted
[20:25] <Majora> thanks
[20:25] <Flare183> Majora: np

[20:26] <freeman__> how I could deactivate this problem?
[20:26] <Hydrosis> freeman, does it flicker only in VLC?  What about if the video is not fullscreen?  Have you tried disabling compiz?  Have you used another media player like mplayer or Movie Player?
[20:26] <Ostlian_Bryffelk> Hello. I am having some severe problems on my server. I get weird permission denied stuff. Like when logging in. Then I get permission denied on /bin/bash. I had to go in recovery mode to earch a terminal. Then I also get permission denied on some stuff in the process of restarting the network and other random things. What can this mean?
[20:26] <freeman__> hmm where I can deactivate compiz
[20:26] <Xpistos|work> Does anyone else have a problem delete files over an sshfs connect in gnome?

[20:31] <ViaNocturna1> anyone know why i get music but once i open another window the music pauses till i switch back to that window?
[20:31] <Pingu> Hi mates
[20:32] <sun2010> hi everybody!
[20:32] <Pingu> Anyone here that is good with Ati drivers ^^?
[20:32] <Pingu> And Hi btw
[20:32] <undecim> is there a channel for people running the alpha?
[20:32] <MASARUwota> ViaNocturna1: what client do you use?
[20:32] <mtaftm> i cant find it on the labtec website, it is an old one
[20:33] <ikonia> undecim: #ubuntu+1
[20:33] <MASARUwota> !hi|sun2010
[20:33] <BluesKaj> Pingu, depends on your ati card
[20:33] <undecim> ikonia: ty
[20:33] <ViaNocturna1> MASARUwota: what do you mean?
[20:33] <Pingu> Ati Radeon 9550 ^^
[20:33] <Pingu> A relic
[20:33] <Pingu> xD
[20:33] <ActionParsnip28> yo yo yo
[20:33] <czemu> hey, is there a possibility to show progressbar of a song from rythmbox in conky?
[20:34] <EuphorianX3> hi, im having a problem with rhythmbox, every so often while playing music, my computer freezes, that is, everything except the music, and heres what my /var/log/messages contains at the time of the freezeup:
[20:34] <EuphorianX3> Jan 15 12:10:31 adam-laptop pulseaudio[1530]: ratelimit.c: 153 events suppressed
[20:34] <BluesKaj> Pingu, have you checked your package manager for the driver that suits your  Ati Radeon 9550?
[20:34] <mtaftm> hattoricaca: its this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LABTEC-VIDEO-WEBCAM_W0QQitemZ250560429699QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_ComputerComponents_Webcams?hash=item3a5690be83
[20:34] <Pingu> Wait hehe installed linux tonight ... But I think they arent there
[20:35] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip28, how's things ? :)
[20:35] <Pingu> brb
[20:35] <EuphorianX3> there are a few of those 'suppressed' messages and then many of: Jan 15 12:13:58 adam-laptop kernel: [ 5233.077558] ipw2200: Firmware error detected.  Restarting.
[20:35] <ViaNocturna1> MASARUwota: if you mean music, its with all of them, now background music from Guild Wars, had it with rhythmbox...you name it, it happens
[20:35] <hattoricaca> mtaftm: sorry gotta go now, if you got the model then google +model +ubuntu. ciao!
[20:35] <Ostlian_Bryffelk> blakkheim: Gotten rooted, what is that?
[20:35] <mtaftm> ok cheers
[20:35] <freeman__> this flicker effect is not visible in vlc only also in other media player programs
[20:36] <blakkheim> Ostlian_Bryffelk: hacked, in other words. someone owned your box.
[20:36] <EuphorianX3> if someone doesnt know how to help with that do you know how to change the sound support to ALSA in 9.10
[20:36] <Ostlian_Bryffelk> blakkheim: I doubt it. It started when I got out of disk space on my root drive.
[20:36] <ViaNocturna1> Yeah i like the know the same as EuphorianX3
[20:36] <Ostlian_Bryffelk> blakkheim: anyway, any suggestions on how to fix it?
[20:36] <blakkheim> Ostlian_Bryffelk: what services was the server running?
[20:37] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip28, I need some advice on wifi setup in /etc/network/interfaces with a Belkin USB wifi adapter that uses RT2780/ralink driver
[20:37] <blakkheim> Ostlian_Bryffelk: i suggest a reinstall with better security practices
[20:37] <EuphorianX3> Via may i ask what is your computer specs
[20:37] <Pingu> BluesKaj dude Im lost... can I like pm u ... xD
[20:37] <mtaftm> i give up :(
[20:37] <BluesKaj> !pm | Pingu
[20:37] <Pingu> Ohhh ok
[20:37] <EuphorianX3> im on 1.6ghz 512mb with compiz so it could be a performance issue
[20:37] <Ostlian_Bryffelk> blakkheim: I had a homepage, forum, mail server, minecraft server, ftp server, mumble server, ampache server, UO server and stuff.
[20:37] <Pingu> then most of squares are green for ati
[20:37] <ViaNocturna1> I have a 1.8Ghz laptop MSI, with Geforce graphics, 350G HDD, why?
[20:38] <Ostlian_Bryffelk> blakkheim: isn't it possible to fix without reinstalling?
[20:38] <EuphorianX3> is your rhythmbox freezing or do you want to know how to get ALSA
[20:38] <blakkheim> Ostlian_Bryffelk: you cannot trust a compromised machine
[20:38] <Pingu> Any command in terminal that i can use to show u my drivers or stuff like that?
[20:38] <blakkheim> Ostlian_Bryffelk: backup the important data from it and reinstall is your best bet. lock down services that aren't needed and keep up to date with security patches.
[20:38] <ViaNocturna1> it doesnt freeze, just only able to hear music or sound if i got the window from the sound on, if i switch windows, sound goes
[20:38] <Tac> heya guys... I don't run ubuntu myself... but a friend of mine is, and he forgot his root password.... is there a way on ubuntu to set a new one? ( it's on a dell mini )
[20:38] <ViaNocturna1> so i wanna get ALSO
[20:38] <Ostlian_Bryffelk> blakkheim: But how come you think it has been hacked? It happened exactly when I ran out of disk space.
[20:39] <ViaNocturna1> ALSA*
[20:39] <LjL> !root | tac
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo again
[20:39] <Tac> LjL, gracias
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> tac: you don't need root.
[20:39] <blakkheim> Ostlian_Bryffelk: the symptoms you listed and the fact that you were running so many open services leads me to believe that. it COULD be other things, but i'm just giving you my opinion based on what you've told me.
[20:39] <Pingu> Damn Ati xD
[20:39] <EuphorianX3> ViaNocturna1 ill google some more see if I can find out how to get ALSA
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> tac: and we don't support having one either
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> !noroot
[20:40] <ViaNocturna1> sure
[20:40] <Ostlian_Bryffelk> blakkheim: I see. And _if_ I want to take my chances and still run it? xP How do I fix it?
[20:40] <ViaNocturna1> i will too
[20:40] <blakkheim> Ostlian_Bryffelk: i can't really give you advice there, sorry
[20:40] <Pingu> I downloaded those Ati ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64 driver
[20:40] <Phong> i love ubuntu over fedora
[20:40] <Phong> fedora sux shlt
[20:41] <Pingu> But not sure if they are what I need
[20:41] <Pingu> -.-
[20:41] <Ostlian_Bryffelk> blakkheim: Okay, thanks anyway.
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> pingu: make the file executable using chmod and run it in a terminal
[20:42] <EuphorianX3> may I post a link?
[20:42] <blakkheim> Ostlian_Bryffelk: there was a few vulns found yesterday that affect ubuntu, i wouldn't rule out the possibility that you got rooted
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> !ohmy | phong
[20:42] <Pingu> So they will be usable ?
[20:42] <Ostlian_Bryffelk> blakkheim: well it happened like two weeks ago.
[20:43] <Pingu> I mean they wont screw up my graphics?
[20:43] <blakkheim> Ostlian_Bryffelk: oh k
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> pingu: provided the driver supports your card and your xorg version is supported, yes
[20:43] <Pingu> Thanks mate ^^
[20:43] <daftykins> Pingu: can only try ;)
[20:43] <Pingu> If it fails Ill bitch up here
[20:44] <Pingu> <3
[20:44] <daftykins> no language thanks
[20:44] <Pingu> Pardon
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> pingu: you can always remove the driver in recovery root console
[20:44] <Pingu> Sweet
[20:44] <Pingu> Great support channel btw fellas
[20:45] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip,I'll ask again. I need some advice on wifi setup in /etc/network/interfaces with a Belkin USB wifi adapter that uses RT2780/ralink driver . I'm not sure what settings are needed
[20:46] <Krabmeat> pici: are you still there?
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> blueskaj: interfaces file only sets addressing so is adapter independant
[20:46] <ikonia> BluesKaj: any reason your not using the desktop tools like gnome-network-admin ?
[20:47] <`burg> hello. how can i connect to the internet with pppoe when i`m on a wireless network? i use ubuntu 9.10
[20:47] <tonsofpcs> any reason a reiserfs would take much longer to access than ext3? [drive speed differences are negligible]
[20:47] <BluesKaj> ikonia, none of them work with the adapter ..even wicd doesn't do it
[20:47] <tonsofpcs> [specifically for write operations]
[20:47] <ikonia> BluesKaj: so why would /etc/inetfaces work ?
[20:47] <ikonia> BluesKaj: sounds like a problem with the support of the card
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> blueskaj: it does not set the driver or anything like that. its an alternative (andless system impacting) than network manager et al
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> blueskaj: you will need a deb or source or ndisgtk to get it setup then you can use the interfaces file to configure addressing / gateway et
[20:49] <BluesKaj> the etc/network/interfaces works with eth0 , i just thought it might see the driver from some kind of setup
[20:49] <Asad-away> Is there a way to "clone" a ubuntu install over network? I have got a new laptop but I don't want to do all the customizations and install all packages all over again ...
[20:49] <ikonia> BluesKaj: eth0 is nothing to do with your wirless card and the support of it
[20:49] <usser> Asad-away, clonezilla
[20:49] <BluesKaj> ikonia,  no kidding
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> blueskaj: eth0 works as the kernel or whatever is in ubuntu's install is enough to get it going
[20:50] <usser> !clone
[20:50] <usser> !clonezilla
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> blueskaj: my wifi does that too with no extra config, just like your wired link
[20:51] <Asad-away> thank usser
[20:51] <Asad-away> thanks*
[20:51] <azooz> hi
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> !hi | azooz
[20:52] <BluesKaj> well, ActionParsnip ..I saw a whole lot of tutorials for using wpa-supplicant in conjunction with /etc/network/interfaces , which i tried  with no success . it sees my router but the router doesn't respond to the call from the wifi adapter . It's not a big deal , I'm happy with the eth0 connection
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> blueskaj: cool, will be more reliable as its a directed medium
[20:54] <Asad-away> usser: is there any easy alternative :S ?
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> blueskaj: maybe it needs a later version of the dreiver it uses
[20:54] <Asad-away> seems like clonezilla has a large learning curve for a home user :S
[20:54] <ekristen> Myrtti: 9.10 refuses to see my hard drive, previous version looks fine
[20:54] <hattoricaca> Asad-away: if your install is not too big you can grab a DVD and use remastersys
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> asad-away: could use partimage
[20:55] <Myrtti> ekristen: do you have encrypted stuff?
[20:55] <ekristen> nope
[20:55] <ekristen> when I got to install 9.10 on this system under Prepare Partitions everything is empty
[20:55] <Asad-away> ActionParsnip and hattoricaca .. thanks I will look into both of 'em :) ... though the install is pretty much like 18gb + :|
[20:55] <rek> hi
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> ekristen: does the disk show in: sudo fdisk -l     ?
[20:56] <rek> actionParsnip are you a ubuntu junkie?
[20:56] <guntbert> !ot | rek
[20:56] <rek> what guntbert? heheh
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> rek: it just does what i need so i use it. i use bleeding edge which makes me a junkie of sorts
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> rek: lets stay ontopic though
[20:57] <ekristen> ActionParsnip: yup shows up
[20:57] <guntbert> rek: this channel is dedicated to ubuntu support - please keep it that way
[20:57] <rek> actionParsnip i think it's quite OT
[20:57] <rek> well guys mldonkey rocks
[20:58] <guntbert> rek: its not "talk about ubuntu" but "ubuntu support"
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> ekristen: cool, try running: gksudo gparted    then partition the drive. and format them. it may help. or upgrade the live cd environment then try an install
[20:58] <shane2peru> hwilde, ok, it has been going for 30min now and it is still says, "Preparing to write"  that is it!  I know I burned a DVD iso not too long ago, and it didn't take this long, it was a video that I had made, I think it took perhaps 10 - 15 min to burn it max.  This is just crazy
[20:58] <Asad-away> ActionParsnip: will it work if I simply copy all data (including kernel data) into a normal ext3 partiion and then install grub ?
[20:58] <rek> guntbert: ok so let's talk about my audio video problems... sometimes these things does not work
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> asad: not sure but partimage can do that
[20:59] <rek> actionParsnip are you able to manage long name files?
[20:59] <ekristen> well I have 9.10 32bit running already, I installed 9.04? then upgraded to 9.10, then realized that I should have installed 64 bit
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> rek: sure, use tab completion ;)
[20:59] <ekristen> I am trying to install from live cd of 9.10 64 bit
[20:59] <rek> actionParsnip how
[20:59] <purvesh> how to open .rar files on ubuntu 9.10
[20:59] <rek> in bash i mean
[20:59] <infid> what do i need to see .wmv and .mpg files in firefox?
[20:59] <blakkheim> purvesh: unrar x file.rar
[20:59] <mrwes> purvesh, unrar x
[20:59] <rek> mplayer for firefox
[20:59] <daftykins> purvesh: install unrar or unrar-nonfree
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> rek: type a bit of the name of the file then press tab. it will complete
[21:00] <rek> are you sure?
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> purvesh: sudo apt-get install rar unrar
[21:00] <ekristen> gparted see's the drive fine, just not the installer
[21:00] <ekristen> so I am not sure what to do
[21:00] <shane2peru> Does anyone know why brasero has taken 30min to burn an opensuse DVD iso that I downloaded and it still says "Preparing to write"  it hasn't done anything for 30min???
[21:00] <mtaftm> hello all i got a webcam working but its green :/
[21:00] <rek> does file management of files with spaces in the name work?
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> purvesh: rar x file.rar   to extract or use right click in nautilus
[21:00] <purvesh> ActionParsnip, Thank you for reply
[21:00] <James_-_> Can I FTP files from my local computer from the command line if I am SSHed in to a files server of mine that is running OpenSSH... If so how?
[21:01] <mrwes> shane2peru, because Brasero sucks :)
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> rek: i dont use firefox
[21:01] <blakkheim> James_-_: sftp
[21:01] <shane2peru> mrwes, can you recommend something else?  I used to use k3b, but too many kde deps
[21:01] <daftykins> James_-_: you'd want to SCP if you have Linux SSH access. or sftp
[21:01] <rek> how does that apply to that ActionParsnip?
[21:01] <mrwes> James_-_, you can use scp to copy the files
[21:01] <ekristen> ActionParsnip: when you get a second ... let me now
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> shane2peru: i used to have that so i swithed to gnomebaker
[21:01] <rek> does file management of files with spaces in the name work?
[21:01] <mrwes> shane2peru, I used k3b :)
[21:02] <shane2peru> ActionParsnip, is gnomebaker better?  a few years ago it was well, lacking
[21:02] <guntbert> rek: yes
[21:02] <rek> what yes guntbert?
[21:02] <mrwes> shane2peru, or command line: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=dvd.iso
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> james_-_ ftp and ssh are completely seperate protocols. you can transfer files over ssh with scp
[21:02] <shane2peru> mrwes, k3b rocks, I just hate all the kde deps it is pulling it, like andriod server or something
[21:02] <rek> sometimes my mp3 does not work
 does file management of files with spaces in the name work? - the answer is yes
[21:02] <Exclusive> juda
[21:02] <rek> ok  sure?
[21:02] <James_-_> Can you explain the syntax from the SSHed command line from coping a file from my home dir on my laptop to a dir on my server
[21:02] <mrwes> shane2peru, my opinion it's worth it, or use the command line
[21:02] <shane2peru> mrwes, will that write the iso to a dvd?
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> guntbert: thanks. irc on g1 phone is hard
[21:03] <mrwes> shane2peru, yah, just change the dvd.iso to your file name
[21:03] <guntbert> rek: how about you try - remember to use <tab> completion
[21:03] <shane2peru> mrwes, yes, I was thinking of giving command line a try or going back to k3b
[21:03] <Pingu> Is it normal when I start druver instalation that terminal goes away...
[21:03] <daftykins> James_-_: scp foo.bar user@hostname:/path/to/put/foo.bar
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> rek: if you use tab to complete filenames it will manage spaces etc for you
[21:03] <shane2peru> mrwes, thanks!  I will give that a try.
[21:03] <Pingu> driver*
[21:03] <guntbert> ActionParsnip: np :)
[21:03] <mrwes> shane2peru, nod
[21:03] <James_-_> daftykins THANK YOU
[21:04] <rek> ActionParsnip: if i don't?
[21:04] <triple_x>  is it better to use xchat or chatzilla... in your opnion.. or is there another program better for linux and irc????
[21:04] <ekristen> so I have a problem, the Installer from live cd doesn't see my hard drive so I can't installed, however sudo fdisk -l and gksudo gparted sees the drive just fine
[21:04] <guntbert> !best | triple_x
[21:04] <acicula> triple_x: any of those will work
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> rek: then you will manually have to escape all the non alphanumeric chars which is a pain
[21:04] <rek> ActionParsnip:  or guntbert do you use a Desktop manager or a Vm ?
[21:04] <Foobauer> I have nm-applet running, but now my wireless connection and the wireless checkbox disappeared, and I can't get it back even with a reboot. Whats up?
[21:05] <guntbert> rek: please lets keep to ubuntu support
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> rek: i use lxde but use guake as my main interface to the system
[21:05] <Pingu> Im like totally lost ^^ž
[21:05] <rek> ActionParsnip: escape what ?what do you mean i'll type in the terminal the same name
[21:05] <Pingu> Tried to install Ati drivers and terminal just vanished
[21:05] <mtaftm> got my webcam working screw you all :P
[21:05] <shane2peru> mrwes, thanks for the commandline tip, burning now
[21:06] <mrwes> shane2peru, sure :) nothing beats the command line IMHO
[21:06] <cl> yo
[21:06] <mrwes> mama
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> rek: if a file has spaces or weird characters in you need to tell the kernel to expect one. try tab completing a file with spaces and you\ will\ see\ stuff\ like\ this
[21:07] <Pingu> Can anyone advise me?
[21:07] <cassini> how do you connect to a machine via SSH, if the distant machine is behind a router ?
[21:07] <mrwes> ActionParsnip, I see you're still here doing the good work :)
[21:07] <triple_x> Am I actually going to get a bot telling me not to take a poll when I'm asking a question??????
[21:07] <mrwes> cassini, you'll need to forward the port 22
[21:07] <rek> ActionParsnip:  cool cool.... i use lxde too in my smartq 5 MID arm device hehehe hand held it's not so fast...but it's cool but i've not managed yet to compile lxdm... have compiled it? i need libgtk2.0-dev or something and i have unmet dependencies or something it's a pain... i don't know guake what's that? what guntbert i asked about those wm or dm used in ubuntu
[21:07] <shane2peru> mrwes, I too love cli, it is powerful, there are times though when I do prefer gui.
[21:07] <daftykins> cassini: forward port 22 to the SSH hosting box via the router
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> mrwes: off and on. new job has weird hours
[21:07] <hattoricaca> cassini: you have to forward the ssh port
[21:08] <hwilde> shane2peru, I heard k9copy can do isos.
[21:08] <MASARUwota> shane2peru: what wm do you use?
[21:08] <Myrtti> triple_x: it's a matter of taste, so you'll not get any good answers.
[21:08] <mrwes> ActionParsnip, same here, I travel alot, haven't irc'd in like three months
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> !info guake
[21:08] <shane2peru> MASARUwota, I'm a gnomer. :)
[21:08] <rek> what about unmet dependencies
[21:08] <shane2peru> hwilde, yes, I have heard that too, although, I think that is for ripping more than anything
[21:08] <triple_x> Myrtti: I see I was going for something that can change these default colors
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> rek: lxde is very light so runs awesome if eyecandy isnt really an issue
[21:09] <cassini> daftykins: thanks ! So what do I do if I have several machines behind the router ?
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> rek: i just apt-get lxde    job done
[21:09] <mrwes> shane2peru, yah just for the hell of it one day I decided to teach myself how to rip a DVD, shrink it to DVD5 an burn it via the command line
[21:09] <daftykins> cassini: and you want to access all of them via SSH? i usually connect into the box the port is forwarded to, then SSH internally so it's leapfrogging
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> rek: lubuntu is close too ;)
[21:09] <rek> no ActionParsnip lxdm it's the login manager..it's not compiled yet....
[21:09] <mrwes> shane2peru, I like vobcopy to rip dvd's
[21:10] <shane2peru> mrwes, I print pdf books via commandline, but I bash scripted it all out so it is easier
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> rek: i use console login then startx
[21:10] <daftykins> cassini: that way you only have one point of attack, so it's good network security too. consider changing the default SSH port as an option too. you don't have to use 22 if you change it, or good routers can let you forward port "x" -> 22 internally, so you can kinda hide it
[21:10] <shane2peru> mrwes, I too learned to backup dvd's via commandline, it isn't too hard,
[21:10] <cassini> daftykins: Brilliant ! Leapfrogging it'll be then :) Thanks
[21:10] <mrwes> shane2peru, yah...bash or aliases make it much eaiser
[21:10] <rek> ActionParsnip: cool you should teach me to configure my decice that way
[21:10] <zleap> shane2peru, a2ps is good for printing pdfs
[21:10] <daftykins> cassini: my pleasure :)
[21:11] <Darkedge> Can someone suggest a good guide on Building .deb Packages?
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> rek: just remove the login from the startup items
[21:11] <shane2peru> zleap, a2ps,  hmm, I will have to check it out, never heard of that one, I usually take and print one page on two to make a book
[21:11] <mrwes> shane2peru, now remuxing mkv to mp4 is another thing :)
[21:11] <acicula> !packaging
[21:11] <acicula> Darkedge: ^^
[21:11] <Darkedge> acicula: :) thanks.\
[21:12] <theanonymousone> hi
[21:12] <rek> ActionParsnip:  for example in .lxde. startup   i can add a comment #
[21:12] <Darkedge> acicula: oh a tip, you can do, !packages | Darkedge and the bot will adress me, saves time, and thanks again :)
[21:12] <InsertHome> !packages
[21:12] <shane2peru> mrwes, yes, I learned some of that stuff too, I copy vhs to dvd via commandline
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> rek: not sure but i'm sure there are guides around
[21:12] <acicula> Darkedge: i know
[21:12] <rek> you like extreme electronics ActionParsnip? as bleeding edge
[21:13] <Pingu> Anyboy know why my terminal is crashing when I try to run installer?
[21:13] <mrwes> shane2peru, that sounds kewl
[21:13] <MASARUwota> Pingu: what do you run??
[21:13] <rek> ActionParsnip: how did you do that..to get the console login i mean
[21:13] <Pingu> Ati driver
[21:13] <shane2peru> mrwes, no, it was work. :)  now it is scripted, so it is easy
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> rek: only linux programs
[21:13] <mrwes> heh
[21:13] <rek> what ActionParsnip?
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> rek: like i said, i'm not sure
[21:13] <Ostlian_Bryffelk> Is there a way to back up all users in ubuntu so that you don't have to readd them all when reinstalling ubuntu?
[21:14] <MASARUwota> shane2peru: what do you need gnome for if you like the CLI! use a lightweight WM and a lightweight terminal instead D:
[21:14] <Pingu> went to properties and changed that it can be executable...
[21:14] <Pingu> But still
[21:14] <rek> ActionParsnip: you don't remember?
[21:14] <rek> is guntbert from police or something?
[21:14] <shane2peru> MASARUwota, I still like the eye candy, and printersetup, and keyboard setup. :)
[21:14] <MoonShadow> Hi
[21:14] <Bermus> hi
[21:14] <Pingu> On chmod I but chmod o=a rwx
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> rek: i have a root partition image i just blast onto new installs
[21:14] <Pingu> I think
[21:14] <mrwes> shane2peru, unfortunately my new job doesn't leave much time for scripting
[21:14] <melfy> whats best way for ntfs support on ubuntu?   ntfs-3g?
[21:14] <MoonShadow> Can anyone tell me if there are any known problems with the MS 7091 Rev. 2 Motherboard?
[21:14] <MASARUwota> shane2peru, k lol
[21:14] <acicula> Ostlian_Bryffelk: its possible i guess, but youd have to merge old and new passwd/shadow files and preserve guid/uid
[21:15] <shane2peru> MASARUwota, If I wanted to go that deep, I would use slackware, or gentoo
[21:15] <MASARUwota> melfy: yes
[21:15] <melfy> ty
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> rek: if i do a new release install i websearch it when i need it
[21:15] <Bermus> :S what  happens with the ubuntu 9.10 i actualized my netbook and now...
[21:15] <Bermus> Mount of filesystem failed.
[21:15] <Bermus> A maintenance shell will now be started
[21:15] <Bermus> control-d will terminate this shell and retry.
[21:15] <acicula> Ostlian_Bryffelk: at least im not aware of an autmated tool for it, so just manual work
[21:15] <FloodBot2> Bermus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:15] <Ostlian_Bryffelk> acicula: Okay. :/

[21:16] <James_-_> daftykins any limits to using scp to move a whole dir ?
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> rek: about what?
[21:16] <daftykins> James_-_: you need to add the switch -r or -R, "scp -r ..."
[21:17] <James_-_> daftykins THANK YOU
[21:17] <Pingu> Ill try that brb and ty
[21:17] <micahacim> Hi guys, where does gnome-session-properties store the list of startup programs?
[21:17] <mrwes> James_-_, scp -r
[21:17] <daftykins> =]
[21:17] <rek> ActionParsnip: about new releases and all
[21:18] <mrwes> James_-_, or even man scp :)
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> rek: look on the web for news on apps and stuff. you will most likely need to compile but its fun

[21:19] <ActionParsnip> rek: i get the sames apps. just fun to get them to work. doesn't really gain much
[21:19] <Pingu> Dunno why is making problems nao -.-
[21:19] <hattoricaca> Pingu: i agree 100%
[21:19] <Hydrosis> Pingu, that's everyones comlaint.  Karmic has dissapointed a lot of people
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> pingu: 8.10 has an older xorg version
[21:19] <rek> ActionParsnip: i have a little problem i use mutt to manage my mail lately and rocks but i had to install sendmail it so heavy at the boot, why?what can i do
[21:19] <ballone> ciao a tutti
[21:19] <Pavel_> can anyone help me with a brasero issue?
[21:19] <ballone> \list
[21:20] <ballone> !list
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> rek: not sure. i use webmail. why not ask the channel
[21:20] <mrwes> Karmic is just a stepping stone to the next LTS release in the spring
[21:20] <rek> hei channel?
[21:20] <MASARUwota> rek: remove the deamon from your /etc/init.d dir?
[21:20] <Pingu> Is it really necessary to update to 9.4 then 9.10?
[21:20] <Hydrosis> Whoever gave the "OK" to release Karmic with so many flaws should be removed from the board.
[21:20] <Pavel_> I can't create audio projects - when I try to add an mp3 file to the project, it says "this file can't be opened; it is not suitable for audio or visual media"
[21:20] <Pingu> or we can stay at 8.10
[21:20] <rek> MASARUwota: i need that to send the mail lol
[21:20] <mrwes> Hydrosis, Karmic runs great on my Dell laptop
[21:20] <reportingsjr> I started OpenTTD which is a game and I /can not/ get it to close.
[21:21] <guntbert> Hydrosis: please stop your ranting
[21:21] <hattoricaca> and crippling great software that worked, like gdm. i miss my gdm setup :(
[21:21] <reportingsjr> tried using kill and pkill, system monitor. I can not get it to close. Anyone know why?
[21:21] <micahacim> reportinsjr: use -9 with kill
[21:21] <hwilde> reportingsjr, sudo kill -9 <pid>
[21:21] <daftykins> kill -9!
[21:21] <Hydrosis> guntbert, what the hell are you talking about?  I said 1 thing in the last hour.  Its not ranting, its agreeing with everyone else.  Dont center me out.
[21:21] <faheem_> is their a command to view your pc specs ?
[21:21] <hwilde> !attitude | Hydrosis
[21:22] <daftykins> faheem_: lshw kind of
[21:22] <reportingsjr> hwilde: ahh, thank you :)
[21:22] <Hydrosis> *insert tears*
[21:22] <Hydrosis> pffft
[21:22] <mrwes> Hydrosis, 1421 people can't all think like you
[21:22] <mrwes> heh
[21:22] <protojay> yeh i think karmic is rather good
[21:22]  * mrwes agrees
[21:22] <Hydrosis> I never said they did, mrwes . Stop straw manning me.
[21:22] <mrwes> heh
[21:23] <hwilde> Hydrosis, nobody made you upgrade.  Maybe you should stick to LTS if you can't handle the newest distros.
[21:23] <Pingu> Guys last question ...sorry for being annoying... Can I stay at old 8.10 version?
[21:23] <Olejo> Good evening, could anyone tell me how to reinstall Ubuntu from CD?
[21:23] <Hydrosis> Does anyone know how to fix the hibernation problem that everyone's having?  PC is set toi NOt hibernate but does anyway and doesnt wake up?
[21:23] <Hydrosis> Does anyone know how to fix the audio problem of not being able to hear the mic via the speakers?
[21:23] <blakkheim> Olejo: ..the same way you installed?
[21:23] <micahacim> Anyone here know where the list of startup programs are stored (i.e. where gnome-session-properties stores them)?
[21:23] <hwilde> Hydrosis, disable acpi and it will not hibernate.
[21:23] <daftykins> Olejo: just boot from it and choose start / install and away you go, after you've backed up
[21:23] <blakkheim> micahacim: ~/.config/autostart
[21:24] <Hydrosis> Does anyone know how to fix the error many foilk are getting regarding Ubuntu not detecting native monitor resolutions?
[21:24] <Pavel_> can't create audio projects in Brasero - when I try to add an mp3 file to the project, it says "this file can't be opened; it is not suitable for audio or visual media"
[21:24] <hwilde> Hydrosis, unmute the mic in alsamixer
[21:24] <Olejo> How do i boot from the CD?
[21:24] <Hydrosis> Does anyone know how to fix sound problems?  I cant get sound to play in games.
[21:24] <blakkheim> Pavel_: you have the restricted extras installed?
[21:24] <hwilde> Hydrosis, unmute your sounds in alsamixer
[21:24] <blakkheim> Olejo: put cd in, reboot computer. you may need to configure your bios to boot from it
[21:24] <infid> how can i make it so i have a gnome panel on my right monitor and not just my left monitor during a twinview dual monitor setup?
[21:25] <methods> help
[21:25] <hwilde> Hydrosis, it will recognize newer monitors that provide their info, otherwise you can specify the resolution in xorg.conf
[21:25] <daftykins> !ask | methods
[21:25] <Olejo> Thank you for the help. How do I acess my bios?
[21:25] <Hydrosis> hwilde,  you CANT hear the mic through the speakers, muted or unmmuted.  I cant hear a guitar, either.  It records, but there si no sound via speakers.
[21:25] <blakkheim> Olejo: depends on your motherboard
[21:25] <Guest66914> I have a single user that logs into my computer (I am running 9.10), I need to change the UID of this user (for NFS reasons).  I tried altering /etc/passwd and chmoding the home directory.  But it did not work, is there anything else that I need to do?
[21:25] <hwilde> Hydrosis, are your speakers plugged in?
[21:25] <Hydrosis> hwilde, my monitor was deted in all other ubuntu versions.
[21:25] <Slart> Is it still grub that decidec what kind of resolution you get for the TTY's in karmic server? Or has it moved somewhere else?
[21:25] <methods> every time my windows open they maximize!!!! it's the most annoying thing i've ever seen !!!
[21:25] <blakkheim> Slart: look into kernel mode setting
[21:25] <Olejo> It is an Asus.
[21:25] <hattoricaca> Guest66914: use usermod command
[21:26] <Hydrosis> hwilde, of course.  I run a recording studio.  Its just that Karmic CANT do what I ask, out of the box.  It will NOT play sound out of the speakers via the mic.
[21:26] <blakkheim> Olejo: when your computer starts up you have to press a key, it's usually f2 or esc or delete or f11, but it could be something else
[21:26] <hwilde> Hydrosis, maybe you should reinstall a previous version then, unless you had some specific reason for needing 9.10
[21:26] <mrwes> sometimes F12 on Dells
[21:26] <Olejo> Thank you I will try it.
[21:26] <Pavel_> blakkheim yes
[21:26] <MoonShadow> The hardware sites don't know about MD 7091 Version 2 Motherboard
[21:26] <MoonShadow> Is there any other place to go?
[21:26] <genii> Pingu: 8.10 support ends April this year, the repositories will become inactive
[21:27] <faheem_> can anyone point me to a guide on how to use the shell to to its utmost...
[21:27] <hwilde> faheem_, there is a series of books from o'reilly called "... in a nutshell" that are good.  try like   Linux in a nutshell
[21:27] <Hydrosis> hwilde, hence my stating the obvious fact that Karmic CANT do thinsg that ALL other OS's are doing, but everyone started shitting on me like I was Hitler or something.
[21:27] <ikonia> faheem_: that just takes leanring, it's not a guide really
[21:27] <hwilde> !ops
[21:27] <ikonia> Hydrosis: control the language
[21:27] <futei> is there any software that does what AnyDVD HD does for linux?
[21:27] <faheem_> thanks hwilde :)
[21:27] <Pingu> Omg...
[21:27] <daftykins> faheem_: linuxcommand.org to cover the start and what not, may give links to more advanced stuff.
[21:28] <Guiri> When I SSH into my box it doens't have tab completion, but if I type "bash" it does. How can I set bash to be my default?
[21:28] <Pingu> But Im used to 8.10
[21:28] <Hydrosis> What language ikona?  What are you talking about?
[21:28] <ikonia> Hydrosis: ubuntu is not perfect, there are bugs and there are limitations, if you can't accept that, use another os, if you want to try to fix it, we are here to try to help
[21:28] <micahacim> blakkeim:thnx. :)
[21:28] <ikonia> Hydrosis: see your pm
[21:28] <Pingu> First day on 9.10 and Im lost o.O
[21:28] <hwilde> faheem_, and you can type "man command" to pull up the manual for any command
[21:28] <infid> Guiri: is bash not your login shell in /etc/passwd on that machine?
[21:28] <happy> Guiri: edit /etc/passwd?
[21:28] <Hydrosis> ikonia, have you even been paying attention?
[21:28] <faheem_> thanks
[21:28] <ikonia> Hydrosis: see you're pm
[21:28] <ikonia> see "your" pm sorry
[21:28] <hwilde> Hydrosis, I have been paying attention and I think you are trolling so please stop.
[21:28] <Hydrosis> I did.  im not blind.
[21:29] <Guiri> happy and infid: /home/frenchy:/bin/sh
[21:29] <Hydrosis> I cam asking for help, learn to read, all.  Scroll back.  Dont forget Im in here every day for the last month helping folks.
[21:29] <happy> Guiri: change it to /bin/bash
[21:29] <infid> Guiri: either change it to bash or symlink /bin/sh to /bin/bash
[21:30] <ikonia> Hydrosis: so calm down and work with people, and accept there can be limitations and bugs instead of ranting
[21:30] <hwilde> Hydrosis, you should take a break, go outside, take a deep breath, maybe eat something.
[21:30] <happy> infid: no reason to make bash the default sh. Dash is much quicker :-)
[21:30] <Hydrosis> you should keep your advice to yoruself, nobody asked you hwilde
[21:31] <infid> happy what is dash i just noticed that sh is linked to it in ubuntu
[21:31] <protojay> lol
[21:31] <Colloguy> how come print '\a' doesn't beep in ubuntu?
[21:31] <dekushrub> Is there a way to fully disable screen fading for laptops when they are plugged in?
[21:31] <Colloguy> ubuntu Jaunty
[21:31] <Colloguy> I meant printf '\a'
[21:31] <iceroot> infid: dash is the default shell on ubuntu, debian is still using bash but squeeze will change to dash too
[21:31] <happy> infid: it is a lot like ash. It is very fast, but does not have everythign bash does
[21:32] <Kevin_Crux> Hi, I need help!. Can somebody help me?
[21:32] <ikonia> Kevin_Crux: ask a question
[21:32] <iceroot> !ask | Kevin_Crux
[21:32] <happy> !ask | Kevin_Crux
[21:32] <infid> happy that's crazy i thought ubuntu was using dash, it has been supporting my bashrc fine
[21:32] <infid> s/dash/bash
[21:32] <happy> infid: for LOGIN shells. Not for scripts
[21:32] <iceroot> infid: ubuntu is using dash
[21:32] <infid> ah
[21:33] <infid> yeah my new users are using bash
[21:33] <happy> infid: any script that has no bashisms uses dash for speed
[21:33] <Phong> hi happy

[21:39] <jongbergs> IpSe_DiXiT: ntfsfix <device>
[21:39] <acicula> samsung: /join #ubuntu-pl
[21:40] <James_-_> daftykins when using scp dose the command provied any protection from overwriting files with the same name as the file being copied?
[21:40] <samsung> no english :(
[21:40] <IpSe_DiXiT> jongbergs: will this cause any data loss or any problem at all? can i use gparted, is it the same?
[21:40] <IpSe_DiXiT> thanks
[21:40] <hwilde> James_-_, no, it will overwrite
[21:40] <guntbert> !pl > samsung
[21:40] <mstftsm> is there a problem if i install ubuntu after vista ? would vista still work ?

[21:41] <daftykins> James_-_: man scp
[21:41] <hwilde> mstftsm, as long as you have enough free space on your harddrive, it will "dualboot"
[21:41] <blakkheim> mstftsm: consider it a blessing if it doesn't (but yes it still will)
[21:41] <hwilde> !dualboot > mstftsm
[21:41] <James_-_> is there anything out there that will give that protection? ... I have the man page open...
[21:41] <samsung> !pl
[21:41] <Phong> what does it meant:  mem: total = 3888896
[21:41] <Phong> is that meant i have 32 bits?
[21:41] <Phong> i have 6GB of ram
[21:41] <hwilde> James_-_, I use gftp  it is graphical, and it will prompt you and say  overwrite? etc
[21:41] <acicula> James_-_: think the default is that it auto overwrites
[21:41] <jongbergs> IpSe_DiXiT: gparted is used for creating/deleting/resizing partitions
[21:42] <hsa2> hello everyone
[21:42] <daftykins> James_-_: i tink you can add verbosity or some switch so it asks you if you're sure? can't remember off hand
[21:42] <MASARUwota> hsa2 hi
[21:42] <hwilde> gPartEd = Gnome Partition Editor fyi
[21:42] <IpSe_DiXiT> Phong: ubuntu can only see/use up to 4
[21:42] <daftykins> !hi | hsa2

[21:42] <Phong> ok
[21:42] <Colloguy> does anyone know why this doesn't emit a beep on ubuntu jaunty: printf '\a'
[21:42] <hsa2> i have just installed ubuntu server
[21:42] <happy> Phong: uname -a will tell you if you are using 64 bit
[21:42] <IpSe_DiXiT> jongbergs: there's also the function "check"
[21:42] <hwilde> !pae | Phong  IpSe_DiXiT
[21:42] <acicula> he has less then 4GB ram visible
[21:42] <hsa2> and i am having issues on dpkg-reconfigure * about fonts.
[21:42] <hwilde> ubottu doesn't know pae ?
[21:42] <acicula> qed
[21:42] <Phong> it said: i686
[21:42] <erUSUL> Colloguy: probably the speaker is disabled
[21:42] <Phong> ??
[21:42] <jongbergs> IpSe_DiXiT: not totally confident if ntfsfix is safe
[21:42] <hsa2> fonts are not readable on dpkg-reconfigure screen
[21:42] <erUSUL> Phong: that's 32 bit
[21:42] <acicula> hwilde: there is a pae kernel
[21:42] <iceroot> Phong: dpkg --print-architecture
[21:42] <Phong> oh okay
[21:43] <James_-_> Ok I am reading the man for that verbos  but havent' found anything if anyone thinks of anything let me know
[21:43] <Colloguy> erUSUL: I get sounds from flash videos
[21:43] <jongbergs> IpSe_DiXiT: but probably worth a try
[21:43] <hwilde> James_-_, scp overwrites.  try gftp
[21:43] <erUSUL> Phong: as other pointed out there is a pae kernel you can install
[21:43] <acicula> better to just switch to 64bit though
[21:43] <Phong> since i have 6GB, what is the best  to install?
[21:43] <IpSe_DiXiT> jongbergs: indeed it says "inconsistent file system" and it suggests me to check it on a windows os, but still i can open and use that hd, indeed itz kind of weird
[21:43] <Guest78198> 64bit
[21:43] <Phong> x64?
[21:43] <iceroot> Phong: amd64 version
[21:43] <Phong> where can i get it
[21:43] <happy> Phong: 64

[21:46] <IpSe_DiXiT> jongbergs: it messes up with some files now and then, so i thought it needed a fsck but since itz an ntfs partition im looking for a way to check it, gparted shows it with the warning triangle and says the fs itz inconsistent and in need to be checked on a windows os which i dont have, so i have to find a way to check it here on this machine, could this be gparted itself? or theres another way?
[21:46] <acicula> jMyles_: copy it to local machine, run
[21:47] <Pingu> Guys are those http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide#Method_1:_Install_the_driver_the_Ubuntu_Way   comands good?
[21:47] <Pingu> it is thr old version but still
[21:47] <jMyles_> acicula: is there no easier way?
[21:48] <acicula> that is the easy way, either copy the script over or make it available via remotely fs
[21:48] <frostburn> jMyles_, yeah there is, but it requires some bashfu

[21:57] <gdiz> hello everyone.  I am working on setting up a media server.  I have a folder that I am sharing via samba (among other things) that is hosting my music.  Is there a way that I could make all files read only yet still be able to add music to the folders.  (So, give permission to read and add to music folder but not delete music that is already there)
[21:57] <Dishtroyer> I enter the password, it goes to another screen like I've logged in and then gives me another log in scrteen
[21:58] <Guest84851> daftykins, http://pastebin.com/d9a7444f
[21:58] <Bookman> rww, thanks.  Is that permanent?
[21:58] <Slart> Dishtroyer: check your syslog and perhaps kern.log .. it might be your X server crashing
[21:58] <acicula> gdiz: force all files to be created with read only permissions
[21:58] <rww> Bookman: it sticks when you close Xchat, yes
[21:58] <atom_fox> How can I avoid or get rid of memory overload?
[21:58] <rww> Bookman: to get them back again, /set irc_conf_mode 0
[21:58] <acicula> atom_fox: what makes you think you have memory overload
[21:58] <erUSUL> atom_fox: define "memory overload"
[21:58] <Slart> atom_fox: what do you mean by "memory overload"? you're overclocking it? you're running out of memory?
[21:59] <Dishtroyer> Slart: That would be ecellent advice if I knew what I was doing.
[21:59] <Bookman> rww, perfectamundo, thanks!
[21:59] <gdiz> acicula, is there a way to force any file added via samba to be set with read only permissions on ubuntu
[21:59] <acicula> gdiz: yeah you can set a default user and permissions with which a faile is create

[21:59] <oneunder> i am working with some other people as well on this.  But, when I try to run tvtime, output to the console says that my audio device is in use.  my question is, how do i figure out what is using my audio devices.  says the same on a fresh reboot.  thanks

[22:00] <Olejo> I need advice on how to partition my Hard Disk during ubuntu install?
[22:00] <Slart> Dishtroyer: when you boot your computer you should get a grub menu.. where you can choose different kernels and such.. know what I'm talking about?
[22:00] <erUSUL> oneunder: configure tvtime to use pulseaudio or esd as audio output
[22:00] <LogicFan> Olejo, what do you need help with?  if you are installing fresh, selecting the default partition scheme generally works for most people
[22:00] <gdiz> acicula, I don't think I follow, would you be able to give me an example
[22:00] <Dishtroyer> Slart, got past that
[22:00] <daftykins> Olejo: will ubuntu be the only OS?
[22:00] <Slart> Dishtroyer: something like this one http://thegabfather.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/grub4kt.jpg
[22:01] <gm> hi
[22:01] <Olejo> daftykins yes it will.
[22:01] <Slart> Dishtroyer: if you instead of selecting the normal kernel there pick the one with (recovery mode) after the name you'll get a terminal, without any graphical login
[22:02] <Dishtroyer> Ok and...
[22:02] <atom_fox> I have a 4GB memory, a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10. Then every time I use apps that use memory to the limit, I think it cause some overloading. For 3 days my system had been freezing when I open apps that eats a lot of memory.  NOTE: the system freeze only occurs in ubuntu 9.10, other distros no problem at all
[22:02] <daftykins> Olejo: i usually go with 100MB /boot ext4 (for karmic onwards, or ext2 for earlier) then twice the system RAM for swap, then say 10GB / ext4 or however much you fancy for how much software you install - then the rest of the drive as /home also ext4
[22:02] <acicula> gdiz: you have to specify a share in samba and specify the userid and permissions to use for that particular share, i dont have a ctrl-c and  ctrl-v example for you, google and man smb.conf
[22:02] <amirite> if I have no rules in iptables, i.e. it looks look this http://pastie.org/780217 then what does that imply? all traffic can come in and go out, right?
[22:02] <amirite> nothing is blocked?
[22:02] <Olejo> Logicfan the default is to use the whole disk?
[22:02] <atom_fox> Slart erUSUL acicula ,  I have a 4GB memory, a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10. Then every time I use apps that use memory to the limit, I think it cause some overloading. For 3 days my system had been freezing when I open apps that eats a lot of memory.  NOTE: the system freeze only occurs in ubuntu 9.10, other distros no problem at al
[22:03] <gdiz> acicula, oh, so I do this via smb.conf?
[22:03] <Slart> Dishtroyer: then you can type things like "less /var/log/syslog"... scroll to the end of that one and look at the last 100 or so lines.. search for something like "crash" "fatal" "segfault" or similar
[22:03] <gdiz> acicula I think I get it now
[22:03] <daftykins> amirite: yes, but only if IP forwarding is enabled
[22:03] <gdiz> thanks
[22:03] <amirite> dafty and how can i tell if ipforwarding is enabled
[22:03] <Slart> atom_fox: have you run the memcheck?
[22:03] <daftykins> amirite: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding for IPv4
[22:03] <atom_fox> not yet...
[22:03] <Dishtroyer> Ok, I'll have to reboot
[22:03] <acicula> gdiz: think so, not sure how nautilus share folder interacts with samba, but since you want something specific the best way to go is via smb.conf
[22:03] <amirite> thanks
[22:04] <Slart> Dishtroyer: if you find anything write it down.. no need for lots of numbers.. but the rest of the error message
[22:04] <atom_fox> Slart, I heard I had to do it overnight, is that right?
[22:04] <saica> hello! i have a new fglrx problem :)
[22:04] <Slart> atom_fox: it takes quite a while, yes
[22:04] <gdiz> acicula, got it, I I will go searching on google
[22:05] <amirite> dafty, two questions: is there such a thing as ip forwarding for ipv6? and for ipv4 if it's 0 (disabled) can i just `echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward`
[22:05] <acicula> amirite: are you trying to route traffic?

[22:05] <DareDevil0> Hi you there
[22:05] <DareDevil0> I have a question
[22:05] <daftykins> just ask away...
[22:05] <Olejo> Is there any disadvantage to using the whole disk?
[22:05] <acicula> amirite: more likely you need to setup forwarding of the port from the router or enable upnp
[22:05] <DareDevil0> Ok if i have a cisco router which have installed the SDM
[22:05] <Pingu> Guys
[22:05] <amirite> acicula how do i enable upnp?
[22:06] <Olejo> And can I partition after the install?
[22:06] <amirite> is that from the server or the router?
[22:06] <Pingu> seems that drivers arent compatilbe with 9.10
[22:06] <acicula> amirite: its an option in the bittorrent client
[22:06] <protojay> Olejo, yes, u cant install any other OSes if u use ur whole disk
[22:06] <acicula> sometimes anyway
[22:06] <DareDevil0> Do i have to do any configuration to access the SDM from the browser
[22:06] <Pingu> Anyone know a link for working ATI drivers for Ubuntu 9.10
[22:06] <ed> what install inskape in ubuntu
[22:06] <DareDevil0> I mean any conf in the cisco router
[22:06] <atom_fox> Slart, is it the memtes in the grub options during startup? I haven't tried yet to the a memtest.
[22:06] <blakkheim> Pingu: working ati drivers is an oxymoron
[22:06] <oneunder> erUSUL, tvtime is using alsa.  actually its talking to an alsa library, which is talking to pulse.
[22:06] <Slart> atom_fox: yes, that's the one
[22:06] <daftykins> Pingu: how did you execute the first download you made? when it crashed the terminal?
[22:07] <guntbert> DareDevil0: this is ubuntu support - I guess you need cisco support
[22:07] <amirite> hmm so what if i want to configure it on a server level
[22:07] <rww> blakkheim: my xserver-xorg-video-radeon works fine kthx.

[22:08] <saica> Pingu, do you mean the proprietary drivers? if so the legacy (9.3-) or the recent (9.4+)?
[22:08] <Mozzytm> ive installed dchp3
[22:08] <localg0d> I am having trouble with adding icons to my desktop like trash and system monitor and the volume monitor . Is there a link to a discussion or would any have an idea on how I might attack this bug ?

[22:08] <Olejo> I am very new to linux and ubuntu and don't really know what I am doing with the partitions. Can anyone talk me through it?
[22:09] <amirite> is upnp the same as peer exchange?
[22:09] <Pingu> on ati there isnt any 9.4 for my G care
[22:09] <Mozzytm> http://www.computechgroup.com/?p=480
[22:09] <Pingu> it is Ati 9550 btw
[22:09] <protojay> Olejo, just use the default settings n u will be fine, dont configure any partitions

[22:09] <TimoH> Hi there! I spent most of my week to move one of our projects from several servers (Apple XServe & Linux) into one VMWare Server 2.0.2 VM using Ubuntu Server 9.10 64bit. Everything is working now, but the file systems are not unmounting properly on shutdown. On every startup I get msgs from fsck. Not sure where to start.
[22:09] <saica> Pingu, i spent weeks trying to get the legacy drivers to work in Karmic.... i want that time back.
[22:09] <Mozzytm> my internet comes into ubuntu via wlan0 and my xbox is on eth0
[22:09] <Pingu> xD
[22:09] <Olejo> Thanks I will give it a try.
[22:10] <guntbert> Mozzytm: not able to help you - but please keep your question in one line - its very difficult to read them across many lines
[22:10] <acicula> TimoH: you are rebooting the VMware server or?
[22:10] <Olejo> THe defaults tell me I have no root file system
[22:10] <saica> Olejo, wait-- what do you have in mind to do? are you installing ubuntu on to a blank system?
[22:11] <Guest84851> daftykins,  http://pastebin.ca/1752887
[22:11] <TimoH> acicula: no, that would be too easy... :) I'm rebooting the VM.
[22:11] <Pingu> saica so you are saying Im kinda screwed?
[22:11] <Pingu> how did u fixed it?
[22:11] <Olejo> No it has ubuntu on it but am passing a machine on to a friend and want to put a clean OS on it.
[22:11] <Mozzytm> if anyone has any ideas please pm me and i can paste conf files etc
[22:12] <Guest84851> daftykins, the other one http://pastebin.ca/1752888
[22:12] <acicula> TimoH: the guests being shutdown before the machine has finished shutting down then i guess, wouldnt know why though
[22:12] <daftykins> Mozzytm: you don't really need DHCP. just set the xbox statically.
[22:12] <saica> Speaking of fglrx, i have an issue with 8.593 in Jaunty. Everything works now except anti-aliasing with opengl programs... they come out looking like this: http;//i31.tnypic.com/244z9z8.png although they are not frozen...
[22:13] <Mozzytm> daftykins, have any pointers to tutorials on that? i can do the xbox side but im unusre how to share the interent, ive tried 3 tutorials and they vary in success from killing my internet on ubuntu to a half connection on the xbox
[22:13] <Mozzytm> and firestarter (apparently the easiest one) keeps claiming eth0 is not ready
[22:13] <saica> Pingu, if you want to get it working on Karmic you are in for some long nights and heavy headaches.... i'm not gonna say it's impossible, but it will drive you mad. the furthest I got was that fglrx actually did work, but gnome was so screwed up i could hardly use my desktop...
[22:14] <Olejo> saica, No it has ubuntu on it but am passing a machine on to a friend and want to put a clean OS on it.
[22:14] <atom_fox> Slart, thanks
[22:14] <daftykins> Mozzytm: if you're successfully bridging your wired to wireless interfaces, you should get a DHCP lease from the router your wireless is connected to
[22:14] <sje46> hey, if the harddrive's dead, can you just buy an external harddrive and install an OS on that?
[22:15] <daftykins> Guest84851: looks like you just want to knock out what's causing it to look up this login.com jazz
[22:15] <Pingu> saica you reminded me when I had same problem on old 8.10 but I fixed it in 3 days... horrible moments
[22:15] <schay> hi
[22:15] <saica> Olejo, oh that is good news. You can erase everything. When the installer asks you what to do about partitions, just take the first option it gives you (should be "use largest available space" or something of the like)
[22:15] <Pingu> Well... I think Ill gave up

[22:22] <matthewford> hi, i've got an issue installing ubuntu onto my dell mini 9, i've put the iso onto the stick and tried to boot into it, however I just get this http://twitpic.com/y8h58  I tried to download the image a few times to no avail
[22:22] <TiCoNe> ciao a tutti
[22:22] <daftykins> Guest84851: probably ^_^
[22:23] <rahduke> all of a sudden all my Desktop icons, (drives, folders, files) have dissapeared.... Not sure what is happening... I'm using Karmic and I'm about to freak out.
[22:23] <Colloguy> skrite: nifty, but I'd rather not have to install anything
[22:23] <Colloguy> skrite: I think I'll just download a wav to play using aplay then
[22:23] <Guest84851> daftykins, probably hehe you dont know?
[22:23] <Guest84851> daftykins, ;(
, cant just copy the ISO on the USB stick.  You need to use a program called UNETBootin or seomthing liekt hat to put the files on there correctly
[22:23] <rahduke> nautilus will not launch unless i use command line
[22:24] <saica> yah so, if anybody knows why fglrx corrupts the framebuffer in opengl applications whle anti-aliasing is on.... and why they sort of work when run with sudo (although it breaks AIGLX support)
[22:24] <skrite> you can convert ogg to way
[22:24] <matthewford> oneunder: i followed the instructions for osx usb copy using dd is that not enough?
[22:24] <daftykins> Guest84851: i don't have a GUI ubuntu install running right now so i can't check. just backup sources.list by running (at terminal) "sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list old" and then try
[22:24] <skrite> Colloguy, wave that is, you can convert if your app takes waves
[22:24] <amirite> what happens if i enable ip forwarding -- does that make my server hackable or exploitable?
[22:25] <oneunder> oh....using that it should have worked then (sorry, thought youjust copied the ISO file tot he USB stick)
[22:25] <Colloguy> skrite: will try
[22:25] <jafa> Hi guys, I am seeing a socket problem... two NICs both with 169.254.x.x IPs (isolated networks). If I bind a couple of sockets to each local IP and send a packet to 169.254.255.255 then Ubuntu sends both packets out the same NIC, but one with the IP from the other NIC
[22:25] <matthewford> i can get the installer to even boot, it just stops saying no os found.
[22:25] <protojay> yes infact ur likely to get hacked the night u do that
[22:25] <protojay> amirite,
[22:26] <acicula> protojay: hes talking about opening a port for bittorrent
[22:26] <rek> hi i'm not able to use tab to complete the file names in bash
[22:26] <Slart> amirite: I don't think ip forwarding will affect the security on the computer in question.. I'm not so sure about other computers on the network behind that one
[22:27] <rahduke> umm can someone explain to me why all of my desktop icons are gone, and why nautilus will not launch for me... I'm using 9.10 Karmic. This all happened suddenly like 20 mins ago
[22:27] <Indy^> does anyone know if Pageant for Putty has been ported for Linux...cant seem to find it anywhere
[22:28] <Guest84851> daftykins, ok done, then open source.list with gedit?
[22:28] <acicula> Indy^: probably not, putty is win only?
[22:28] <Indy^> oe something I can use with putty as an agent forwarder
[22:28] <laurent_> 3
[22:28] <acicula> Indy^: err ssh-agent or something
[22:28] <daftykins> Guest84851: nah use your GUI option if you like it
[22:29] <saica> fglrx + opengl x anti-aliasing = framebuffer corruption...... any takers?
[22:29] <Guest84851> daftykins, you mean Software Sources?
[22:29] <axisys> my laptop hp 6730b has a built in mic on top of the screen.. how do I enable it?
[22:29] <Guest84851> daftykins, because I already tried chanding the server and dont' work
[22:30] <VCoolio> rahduke: maybe nautilus crashed? it also draws your desktop; see if nautilus is still running ("ps aux | grep nautilus"), kill if necessary and try again; logout and back in could also work
[22:30] <phillip> hello
[22:30] <daftykins> Guest84851: where are you based?
[22:30] <hattoricaca> hey, what's a good sip client i can use in ubuntu?
[22:31] <Guest84851> daftykins, Puerto Rico, USA
[22:31] <rahduke> VCoolio:  I think the problem is that nautilus isnt launching when i log into my computer, I've been messing around and launched nautilus as root and now it works kind of....
[22:31] <mauri> i've try to generate .deb package using dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc but it gave the following error:http://pastebin.com/d42375b7d
[22:31] <skrite> phillip, hello
[22:31] <rahduke> VCoolio: but this isnt a permenant solution
[22:31] <daftykins> Guest84851: just stick a US mirror near you in instead then

[22:35] <Krabmeat> pici: u still there?
[22:35] <daftykins> Guest84851: somethings causing your machine to not connect to the right addresses. try changing your DNS to google / opendns
[22:35] <te> chamunks: clone the drive.
[22:35] <rahduke> VCoolio: deleting the data in /home/.local/gvfs-metadata worked for whatever reason.... very strange. Thanks for your help though
[22:36] <VCoolio> rahduke: cool; keep in mind that messing with sudo nautilus can result in screwed permissions on files
[22:41] <Guest84851> daftykins, um how I do that?

[22:43] <feedmecereal> rahduke: I forgot to mention that the icon on my gnome panel is missing because I'm using oss.
[22:45] <feedmecereal> well the icon is missing
[22:45] <rahduke> feedmecereal: so add it to the panel
[22:48] <some_random> FuzzyFox0, it's called 'gnome-screenshot' have a look on your system for config files relating to it
[22:48] <some_random> or google it, i had a bit of a look for you, but found nothing obvious :-\

[22:48] <sunraider39> i need some information, so i am attempting to install windows programs with wine. i have succeeded in some but some of the more advanced 3d games and stuff do not work. i am pretty sure it is because i dont have the required opengl c++ etc what i need to know is do i know which thing i need?
[22:48] <sunraider39> i need some information, so i am attempting to install windows programs with wine. i have succeeded in some but some of the more advanced 3d games and stuff do not work. i am pretty sure it is because i dont have the required opengl c++ etc what i need to know is how do i know which thing i need?
[22:48] <AliceMargatroid> sunraider39, some games just don't work on WINE.
[22:48] <blakkheim> sunraider39: you only need to ask once, and you might want to /join #winehq for wine support
[22:48] <AliceMargatroid> Can you give a partial list of them?
[22:50] <Slart> !ics
[22:50] <FuzzyFox0> anyone?
[22:54] <feedmecereal> my sound preferences were removed from my panel when I switch from pulseaudio to oss and I can't find the option to add them again (I think they only apply to PulseAudio). How do I adjust OSS sound preferences?
[22:54] <FuzzyFox0> thanks
  i already checked the list all of them should work. i have gotten aoe2 and clonk to work. sauerbraten, battlefield 1942 and warcraft 3 do not work
[22:55] <feedmecereal> what's with everyone quiting at the same time?
[22:55] <Wicked> feedmecereal, its a netsplit
[22:55] <Wicked> !netsplit | feedmecereal
[22:55] <Wicked> bot must be gone....but a netsplit is when a irc server disconnects from another irc server.
[22:55] <melvin> wine isn't really nice for windows apps, it's still under development, a better bet is virtualisation using Virtualbox.
[22:55] <Mozzytm> server split
[22:55] <duffydack> anyway to see past clipboard history?
[22:56] <rww> Wicked: She's still there, but there's a lot of lag right now.
[22:57] <saica> which has been under development longer: wine or ubuntu?
[22:57] <rww> saica: WINE

[23:15] <gdiz> hello everyone, I have a file system with files buried in folders.  I want to set permissions of all files to read only, but I want to set permissions of all folders so that I can still add files to folders.  How would I do that?

[23:23] <Ty> some script or app changed my firefox program so that instead of being able to manipulate it in a windows environment it's 'stuck' in "fullscreen" anyone have any ideas how I  can fix this putaine de machine?
[23:23] <Hans_Henrik> btw freenode is having technical problems atm, very few actually get these messages (at least thats the case in #aircrack-ng), i think you'd get much more support once they fix it :p
[23:24] <Dextronaught> I tried fixing it, I honestly can't do nothing, this is like my 3rd or 4th day getting nowhere
[23:24] <MHz256> hi all
[23:24] <MHz256> how do I disable the touchpad completely?

[23:24] <jongbergs> hi, i need to remove previous kernel images what command used to remove this so that it won't also appear in grub?
[23:24] <moskvat> hello, my pc no have sound in jack front
[23:24] <rww> canthus13: freenode is having problems. there is, in fact, lots of lag.
[23:24] <moskvat> help-me
[23:24] <gdiz_> sorry I was having trouble with IRC.  So once again, I have files buried in several different folders.  I want to set files to read only, but set permissions on folders so I can still add things to the folders.  Does anyone know how to do that?
[23:24] <saica> fglrx + compiz + opengl application x anti-aliasing = framebuffer corruption. (i have figured out it doesn't happen without compiz but... i like compiz)
[23:24] <saica> jongbergs: apt-get remove --purge packagename (but often you will have to edit your menu.lst file by hand as that part of the process is just buggy)
[23:24] <timwood> jongbergs: I use aptitude command-line, using either the remove or purge option
[23:24] <osmosis> any reason not to run 64 bit ubuntu on my laptop? Are the ATI drivers and flash supported?
[23:24] <soreau> saica: Use the open source driver
[23:24] <rww> osmosis: yes, both are supported
[23:24] <PovAddict> osmosis: 32-bit Flast will work on a 64-bit Ubuntu through nspluginviewer
[23:24] <PovAddict> canthus13: no, it's a freenode problem

[23:25] <Paulo_> hello, CAPcap
[23:25] <Seveas> LjL-2, ah, fun
[23:25] <Paulo_> how are you?
[23:26] <LjL-2> Seveas: the k-line has been removed but that isn't exactly propagating to all servers, given the situation :|
[23:26] <Miguel> ?
[23:28] <dbdii407> There's an index page that comes with the lighttpd sudo apt-get install, Is that design copyrighed or anything?

[23:30] <gdiz> I am sorry if this is already here, but I am trying to figure out how to add permissions to all files in a file hierarchy so they are read only yet leave the folders so I can still add stuff to the folders.  Is there an easy way to do that?

[23:32] <bobbytek2> for ubuntu?
[23:32] <dbdii407> bobbytek2: xChat
[23:33] <jordanbuchman> Ubuntu Vs. Kubuntu Vs. Xubuntu?
[23:33] <dbdii407> In my opinion. :P
[23:33] <kgs> bobbytek2, xChat is nice and easy.
[23:33] <gui7> does netcat show any output on progress or whatever?
[23:33] <tag> I like chatzilla
[23:33] <duck_tape> anybody know what servers/ports do i need top open up on a firewall in order to get apt-get to work?
[23:33] <bobbytek2> for ubuntu?
[23:33] <astrojp> Any good math tutorial software that goes from 'everyday math' up to trig and/or calculus? TuxMath is all I found but want something more in-depth than that.

[23:34] <dbdii407> There's an index page that comes with the lighttpd sudo apt-get install, Is that design copyrighed or anything?
[23:34] <duck_tape> xchat was my choiuce back in the day
[23:34] <tag> I use chatzilla on any platform
[23:34] <kgs> Um..
[23:34] <kgs> Actually... no, there was no Ubuntu back in the day.
[23:34] <CAPcap> i get that freenode is whack today but, no what?
[23:34] <astrojp> yes, for Ubuntu.
[23:34] <tuxx> irssi is really nice too.
[23:34] <tuxx> But for GUI, I'd opt for xchat. ymmv

[23:36] <gui7> is "tar c /dir/here" a valid command? if so, what does the c do?
[23:36] <pizux> chetnick, mediafire ?
[23:36] <kgs> man tar?
[23:36] <chetnick> gui7: c - where to extract (location)
[23:37] <chetnick> gui7: this command is not complete
[23:37] <gui7> chetnick, woudl it be complete like this?: "tar c /home | nc -q 10 -l -p 7878"
[23:37] <chetnick> pizux: mediafire? you are asking me?
[23:38] <kgs> It's generally something like "tar xfvz/xvjf archive.tar.gz/tar.bz2"
[23:38] <bobbytek2> what's a nice irc client for gnome?
[23:38] <bobbytek2> I'm a noob
[23:38] <chetnick> gui7: sorry my mistake .. that was c switch.
[23:38] <pizux> chetnick, i said u were looking for a rapidshare download site iam wrong?
[23:39] <kgs> I guess we're talking about compressing not decompressing...
[23:39] <chetnick> gui7: what are you trying to do?
[23:39] <bastid_raZor> bobbytek2: irssi is a great cli client
[23:39] <pizux> bobbytek2, xchat
[23:39] <gui7> i'm trying to make a tar of the directory /home and then netcat it
[23:40] <chetnick> pizux: i am looking for downloader (applicaton) that supports server login... for rapidshare premium account
[23:40] <chetnick> gui7: you wanna transfer it using netcat?
[23:40] <AmateurUser> I've created a 1.5TB EXT4 partition but forgot to create a swap space. How do I shrink a 1.5TB EXT4 partition without it taking all week?
[23:41] <gui7> chetnick, yes
[23:41] <cwheeler> I'm trying to run Ubuntu 9.10 in a Parallels VM on OS X Snow Leopard and having issues are there known problems with this? Debian works correctly.
[23:41] <chetnick> gui7: you need to give name to archive too.. so like this tar -c home.tar /home
[23:41] <chrismeo> pidgin
[23:41] <Hari_Seldon> xChat is cool but u can use Pigin
[23:42] <some_random> how many disk blocks in 4gb? (for swap partitioning)
[23:42] <chetnick> or irssi?
[23:42] <jacob959> so i've extracted my tar.bz2 but i don't know how to install it....can anyone help?
[23:42] <chetnick> jacob959: enter directory ... read README and INSTALL
[23:42] <gui7> chetnick, i'm piping it
[23:42] <jrib1> jacob959: you avoid installing software using tar.gz.  What exactly are you trying to install?
[23:43] <gui7> chetnick, its got the archive name at the other end of netcat on my otehr command :P - its working anyways
[23:43] <gui7> chetnick, to decompress the tar what would be command be?
[23:43] <chetnick> tar -xvf foo.tar
[23:44] <gui7> oki doki :)
[23:44] <gui7> thx
[23:44] <chetnick> i dont know ... good if its working... i transfered files with nc once... long time ago
[23:44] <jacob959> jrib1: yes i usually do avoid them....but its a pHp server, and this is the only way to install
[23:44] <chetnick> its nice way to backup things anyways
[23:44] <jrib1> jacob959: why aren't you being specific?
[23:45] <bobbytek2> pizux, gnome version?
[23:45] <bobbytek2> what's the difference?
[23:45] <jacob959> jrib1: its called php-5.3.1
[23:45] <jrib1> jacob959: php is certainly in the repositories
[23:45] <jrib1> !lamp > jacob959

[23:50] <kgs> We didn't need them anyway.
[23:50] <jacob959> jrib: that isn't available in 9.10
[23:50] <kwtm> no wonder I wasn't getting a response.  It was a netsplit.
[23:50] <nullp0inter> anyone know how i would escape setTimeout('TINY.box.show("session.php?suid=<?php echo $id; ?>",1,200,200,1,0);', <?php echo $timeLeft; ?>); in a sed replace?
[23:51] <jrib> jacob959: yes it is
[23:51] <kwtm> nullp0inter: are there octal/hex escapes allowed in sed?  I'd go that route.

[23:54] <kwtm> nullp0inter: darn, sed (which uses GNU regexes, right?) doesn't recognize \x00 to \xFF as ASCII escapes. :(   THis is from http://www.regular-expressions.info/refflavors.html

[23:57] <jacob959> jrib: i have apache installed the html server...but it still requires the php i've downloaded which only comes in a tar.bz2 file
