[00:00] <onetinsoldier> wolter: yes. mine is. i formatted mine as fat32. then i used 'unetbootin' and installed 9.10 by booting it live off the bootable usb stick that unetbootin made
[00:01] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: its ok, I typed "sudo nautilus" and added deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free to the apt list
[00:01] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  its very bad habbit to run nautilus as root.. im not even sure why you needed to do that.. :)
[00:01] <TheMozart> trism: now u tell me :P
[00:01] <TheMozart> i closed nautilus as root now.. can it do any damage since I opened it once as root?
[00:02] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  You  can add specific repos with the various other tools.. or make a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[00:02] <onetinsoldier> TheMozart: no
[00:02] <MAZ> Hey all
[00:02] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  you would not belive the silly things ive seen happen by people who accidently do things with nautilys as root. :)
[00:02] <onetinsoldier> hi there
[00:02] <anil56554> hello maz
[00:03] <MAZ> Pretty much  still learning Ubuntu but love it so far
[00:03] <wish^> so ubuntu for server ?
[00:03] <wish^> what can you tell me?
[00:03]  * Dr_Willis points Out that Compuiz HAS a feature to append 'ROOT:' to the title of any window/program running as root. :) handy
[00:03] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: all i did was add deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free to the apt list text file, and then installed opera.. opened apt again and removed deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free to the apt list.  Is that ok?
[00:03] <anil56554> how to update metasploit
[00:03] <Dr_Willis> wish^:   yes it can work as a server...
[00:03] <wish^> will it work well, as in well like debian, fedoracore?
[00:03] <wish^> stable?
[00:03] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  why did you remove it? you dont get opera updates now.. and next time look in   /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[00:04] <blakkheim> anil56554: with svn
[00:04] <MAZ> Any help me with a problem?
[00:04] <Dr_Willis> wish^:   ive never heard of any complaints
[00:04] <anil56554> svn how to do that
[00:04] <Xarver> how do I make my essay on openoffice word double spaced?
[00:04] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: look at /etc/apt/sources.list.d for what?
[00:04] <blakkheim> anil56554: you shouldn't be using metasploit if you don't know that
[00:04] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  thats the PROPER place to add  unoffical repos.
[00:04] <anil56554> i know that
[00:04] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  altering the sources.list file is sort of out of date.
[00:04] <onetinsoldier> hi. i could use some help with getting proprietary ati fglrx 9.12 drivers working. the fbdev driver appears to load, but the first error that appears in my log file is '(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory'. is there a specific package that creates /dev/fb0? btw, i do have 'dbus' and 'hal' installed. here is a pastebin of my entire Xorg log file --> http://pastebin.com/f670622f6
[00:05] <anil56554> i was just trying to see someone here is intrested in metasploit
[00:05] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: ok I added deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free back to sources.list.  Is that all I need to do to get opera updates?
[00:05] <_CommandeR_> when i enable two finger scroll in mouse options it does not work for some reasons and i have no idea how do make it work anyone ?
[00:06] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  you totally missed the point of me mentioning /etc/apt/sources.list.d havent you.....
[00:06] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: its empty inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[00:06] <Xarver> nevermidn
[00:06] <TheMozart> nothing there
[00:06] <Xarver> mind
[00:06] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  you create a proper file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and those get appeneded to the sources  No need to mess with the sources.list file.
[00:06] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: i hear ya
[00:07] <MAZ> Any have any idea why I would get a kernal Panic while trying to load Ubuntu 9.10?
[00:07] <hulabear> Howdy!  I have been using Ubuntu for about a year.  I have noticed that when transferring folders (either within the same drive or to another drive) the total number of files affects the transfer speed.  That is, 1000 files start moving more quickly and at a higher speed than 50000 files.  Indeed, a folder that has 100,000 files may take up to 30 minutes before the data begins moving;  the initial transfer rate starts around 1 kbs a
[00:07] <hulabear> nd slowly increases as the number files yet to move declines.  The transfer speed only rarely exceeds 1 megabyte per second.  What am I doing wrong?
[00:07] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: so I added a file called "sources" inside the /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder and add "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" to the sources text file?
[00:07] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  pastebinit  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
[00:07] <Dr_Willis> http://pastebin.com/f4d597e11
[00:07] <ulb> hulabear: archive (compress) the files first
[00:08] <anil56554> anyone metasploit geek
[00:08] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: what you mean? pastebin?
[00:08] <Dr_Willis> theres an example. from what i gather the  opera.deb whould of created just that file
[00:08] <Dr_Willis> LOOK at the pastebin i pasted
[00:08] <wish^> so anyone have any experience with ubuntu for an ftp server?
[00:08] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: i dont understand
[00:08] <meganerd> what Dan said
[00:08] <blakkheim> wish^: i've used debian..
[00:09] <wish^> ive used debian
[00:09] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  you make a file  called whatever.list (thats why i gave the full path in my paste)  then have a line in it like that pastebin shows for each repo you want to add.
[00:09] <wish^> thing is, i wanna try something new..
[00:09] <Zhenya> hi guys, anyone here have an android phone and have succesfully run gmoteserver on their install?
[00:09] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: I know I am supposed to add deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free inside the /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder.. but what file do I create?
[00:09] <blakkheim> wish^: trust me, you're better off with debian for that
[00:09] <jrib> wish^: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/index.html
[00:09] <jrib> blakkheim: why?
[00:09] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: your explanation doesnt make sense to me sorry
[00:09] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart: Picksomename.list
[00:09] <MAZ> Any have any idea why I would get a kernal Panic while trying to load Ubuntu 9.10? It also says something about not killable process running or something to that effect
[00:09] <Dr_Willis> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
[00:09] <blakkheim> jrib: debian (stable) is one of the best distros for a server
[00:10] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  was MY specific example..
[00:10] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: where do I save that file?  Desktop?
[00:10] <blakkheim> jrib: just my opinion of course
[00:10] <hulabear> I am using external drives that are 500 Gb and 1.5 Tb capacity.  I make frequent changes to the contents.  Will compressing these drives interfere with ease of access to the data?
[00:10] <jrib> blakkheim: I agree that nothing compares to stable but ubuntu LTS is a strong server distro imo too
[00:10] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:   You make a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/    with some descriotive name.list   and the repo line goes In that file
[00:11] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: i created a file called opera.list on my deskstop. and inside that file I added: deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free.  Now what?
[00:11] <blakkheim> jrib: i prefer debian from a security standpoint, i have much more respect for them
[00:11] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:   You make a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/    <------------------------- IT GOES in there
[00:11] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: whats safest way to love the file opera.list into /etc/apt/sources.list.d?
[00:11] <sefram> how can I get fglrx working in karmic?
[00:11] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: move, not love :P
[00:11] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  sudo mv whatever whever
[00:11] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: ok
[00:12] <Zhenya> anyone?
[00:12] <noladesi> hey how do you register a screen name
[00:12] <jrib> !register | noladesi
[00:12] <Dr_Willis> noladesi:  /msg nickserv help
[00:12] <noladesi> dr_willis: just type that cmd in here
[00:13] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: ok i think its done
[00:13] <R1kARD0> hello =)
[00:13] <noladesi> thanks
[00:13] <R1kARD0> how is ebrivadi doing?
[00:14] <noladesi> ok
[00:14] <R1kARD0> ok =)
[00:14] <noladesi> i think i got it
[00:15] <R1kARD0> so can i ask some little help, not to be solved, just where to be pointed out
[00:15] <R1kARD0> please xD
[00:16] <hulabear> how do I compress my hard drives?
[00:16] <Dr_Willis> hulabear:  its broberly not worth the effort to even do so.
[00:17] <R1kARD0> just when i logging in to my account the only thing that i see is a terminal window and my wallpaper
[00:17] <fuzzybunny> Can anyone help me whenever I open a webcal:// link or double click on a .ics file it just opens as a text file and doesn't give me the option of adding the event to my Evolution calendar
[00:17] <TheMozart> whenever Ubuntu goes into full screen, I get this message, ""Could not switch the monitor configuration. CRTC 56"  Anyone know whats happening?
[00:17] <hulabear> Howdy!  I have been using Ubuntu for about a year.  I have noticed that when transferring folders (either within the same drive or to another drive) the total number of files affects the transfer speed.  That is, 1000 files start moving more quickly and at a higher speed than 50000 files.

 nd slowly increases as the number files yet to move declines.  The transfer speed only rarely exceeds 1 megabyte per second.  What am I doing wrong?
[00:17] <R1kARD0> i don't know what happened xD. i left my pc to my cousin and them, bam, dunno the hell he did XD
[00:18] <anil_ded> TheMozart: Change your monitor refresh rate and resolution
[00:18] <TheMozart> anil_ded: where?
[00:18] <hulabear> ulb suggested archiving/compressing the files before doing the transfer.
[00:18] <Tuxguy> How do you chain install packages? in yum its like 'yum install x y z' but 'apt-get install x y z' gives unmet dependency issues
[00:19] <R1kARD0> well, if anyone know something about, when i loggint in to my session the only thing that i see is a terminal, no borders, nothing
[00:19] <anil_ded> TheMozart : which linux you use
[00:19] <jrib> Tuxguy: what are you trying to do?  That syntax is correct for installing multiple packages?  Pastebin your command and the output
[00:19] <jrib> -?
[00:19] <Phong_> hi
[00:19] <TheMozart> anil_ded: it is on 1280x800 16x10 now... but only offers 4;3
[00:19] <TheMozart> anil_ded: latest
[00:19] <setuid> Any grub gurus about? I'm at the "grub rescue>" prompt, and nothing is available. Typing 'help' results in: "Unknown command 'help'"
[00:19] <Tuxguy> jrib, well, say  y and z depend on x
[00:19] <Phong_> i have question: is there a touch screen driver for ubuntu?
[00:19] <Tuxguy> jrib, ettercap ettercap-common ettercap-gtk
[00:20] <jrib> Tuxguy: then just install y.  apt-get will figure out it needs x by itself.  That's what a package manager does :)  If you do list them all, it doesn't matter
[00:20] <setuid> I removed grub2, installed grub as per this page (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reverting%20to%20GRUB%20Legacy), and booting left me at this "grub rescue>" prompt.
[00:20] <hulabear> Dr Willis:  what is the fastest way to move folders using Ubuntu Karmic Koala?
[00:20] <noladesi> yep
[00:20] <noladesi> i think i did it.
[00:20] <jmburgess> Hello I was using my laptop when the wireless stopped working and then it kernel paniced
[00:20] <jmburgess> now I can't get wireless to work
[00:20] <Phong_> i have question: is there a touch screen driver for ubuntu?
[00:20] <Dr_Willis> hulabear:  you mean across  the network? or the local machine?
[00:21] <anil_ded> TheMozart : if you have any graphic drivers go to its setting change its refresh rate.
[00:21] <Dr_Willis> Phong_:  ive seen touch screen enabled linux devices.. so thers proberly some.
[00:21] <Tuxguy> jrib, it gives me Conflicts: ettercap but 1:0.7.3-1.4ubuntu1 is to be installed
[00:21] <noladesi> got a screen name
[00:21] <jmburgess> it says it is on but it doesn't find any networks, by rmmod and modprobing iwlagn I can get it to see networks but it won't connect to anything
[00:21] <hulabear> On a local machine, usually from from one external drive to another.
[00:21] <noladesi> ubuntu is great man
[00:21] <gkahla> Phong_- yes, there is - it's already installed, too. you just have to configure your X for it
[00:21] <noladesi> i love netbook remix
[00:21] <Dr_Willis> hulabear:  I just use the file manager or command line. Nothing special
[00:21] <skalka> someone can help me in compiling gnome-shell?
[00:21] <R1kARD0> i hate netbook remix
[00:22] <R1kARD0> haha netbook remix is nice, i luv it XD
[00:22] <skalka> i have an error while compiling mutter
[00:22] <noladesi> why retardo?
[00:22] <blakkheim> noladesi: i see what you did there
[00:22] <anil_ded> My windows partions are automatically mounted but not as root so i have to open them as root when i want to delete files any solution
[00:22] <noladesi> blakkheim: ok
[00:23] <hulabear> Dr. Willis :  I have been using the CUT and PASTE commands.  I have observed that the more files that are being moved, the longer it takes for the move tho begin and the slower the transfer speed.
[00:23] <R1kARD0> it's ok noladesi, i was being a fool, just playing around, see what u were going to do
[00:23] <noladesi> r1kard0: thats cool man
[00:23] <Dr_Willis> anil_ded:   try installing/running the ntfs-config tool and enable the users write drives feature
[00:23] <phong_> can u name one touch screen driver for ubuntu?
[00:24] <R1kARD0> so, when i logging in i only see a terminal and my wallpaper T_T
[00:24] <noladesi> r1kard0: are you using regular desktop version
[00:24] <jrib> Tuxguy: can you pastebin the command you ran and the full output as well as a copy of your /etc/apt/sources.list*
[00:24] <Dr_Willis> hulabear:  its calculating the sizes so that makes sence at the start. I doubt if the actual transfer speeds differ
[00:24] <eggshells> the SDL libraries in Synaptic are outdated by several versions, is there a way to report this?
[00:24] <gkahla> phong_- touchscreen drivers are already included in xorg
[00:24] <anil_ded> Dr_willis : can we solve it by modifiying fstab entries
[00:24] <Dr_Willis> hulabear:  i just click -drag - hold down alt key - and select move
[00:24] <ice_stone> it doesn't work
[00:25] <Dr_Willis> anil_ded:  thats what that command sort of does..  IF they are mounted by fstab..  else it changes some hal/auto mount options
[00:25] <anil_ded> Dr_willis: i use mint 7
[00:25] <Dr_Willis> anil_ded:  so? the command still does the same stuff.
[00:25] <Dr_Willis> anil_ded:  if you want fstab entries. then make them. or let that tool make them
[00:25] <ice_stone> god why is is so big deal to get 1024x768 at 120hz to work?!>?
[00:25] <ice_stone> i have been spending all day trying to get it working
[00:25] <ice_stone> stubborn ubunutu
[00:26] <hulabear> Have also used the click and drag method; same thing happens.  The transfer speed starts at 1 kbs and slowly rises to as high as 1 mbs, rarely faster.
[00:26] <R1kARD0> well, when i logging in the only ting that i see is a terminal and my wallpaper
[00:26] <anil_ded> Dr_willis: which command
[00:26] <R1kARD0> can't do anything
[00:26] <Random832> ice_stone; 120hz? what?
[00:26] <ice_stone> I have been trying to config the xconf
[00:26] <TheMozart> didnt work.. I stilll get this message when Ubuntu loads in full screen: "Could not switch the monitor configuration. CRTC 56".. anyone else have idea?
[00:26] <Dr_Willis> anil_ded:   try installing/running the ntfs-config tool and enable the users write drives feature
[00:26] <phong_> can someone tell me where i can get a touchscreen driver for my tablet pc ?
[00:26] <ice_stone> Random832, 120hz at 1024x768
[00:26] <Random832> can you really do that?
[00:26] <TheMozart> can it be damaging my laptop screen?
[00:26] <jmburgess> Can anyone help me
[00:26] <Random832> i've never heard of a frequency over 80
[00:26] <ice_stone> why not over 80?
[00:27] <TheMozart> anyone ever seen this message "Could not switch the monitor configuration. CRTC 56"?
[00:27] <ice_stone> in window xp it can do 120 hz
[00:27] <Dr_Willis> Random832:  thats what i was thinking also.. at least not on a LCD..
[00:27] <setuid> Sure you can
[00:27] <Random832> i've just never heard of such a thing - well i mean do you actually know your monitor can do that, or are you just assuming
[00:27] <ActionParsnip__> yo yo yo
[00:27] <ice_stone> I'm on CRT
[00:27] <setuid> My LCD goes up to 400Hz
[00:27] <iflema> ice_stone your video card may not handle the 120hz
[00:27] <Random832> are you sure it's not an interlaced mode that's just called 60Hz on linux?
[00:27] <ice_stone> no man listen... i have window xp
[00:27] <noladesi> Hey does anyone have any stats on battery usage comparisons between Netbook Remix and Desktop Ubuntu????
[00:27]  * Dr_Willis thinks we may be getting into marketing terms/buzzwords/hype now. :)
[00:27] <ice_stone> i just need to force ubuntu to let me do 120hz
[00:28] <setuid> Dr_Willis, Marketechture!
[00:28] <ActionParsnip__> noladesi: i'd imagine the netbook has special acpi modules
[00:28] <ice_stone> iflema, my video card can handle it
[00:28] <iflema> ice_stone sit further back ;)
[00:28] <ice_stone> iflema, what do you mean?
[00:29] <iflema> ice_stone just how big is this monitor?
[00:29] <meganerd> I am glad to have left the CRT world behind
[00:29] <ice_stone> iflema, 21 inch
[00:29] <ice_stone> i won't leave crt world yet
[00:29] <ice_stone> till they make LCD with 120hz
[00:29] <R1kARD0> T_T i already try to restore gnome to default settings and nothing
[00:29] <meganerd> I had a 21" CRT once, it broke my desk
[00:29] <noladesi> why
[00:29] <Dr_Willis> meganerd:  hard on the back also... :)
[00:29] <ice_stone> I like to play quakelive at 120hz
[00:29] <daftykins> ice_stone: they do make 120Hz LCDs
[00:29] <meganerd> the only reason would be shuttered 3d
[00:30] <iflema> ice_stone 60hz on 19inch lcd here..... so crisp....so clear...
[00:30] <ice_stone> but not smooth
[00:30] <ice_stone> iflema, not smooth
[00:30] <meganerd> there are 240 Hz LCDs now
[00:30] <qwood> hi all, i have a question about quotas i wondered if anyone knew anything about. when i run "quotacheck -avugm" I get a warning that the quotafile //aquota.user and //aquota.group was probably truncated. is this ok?
[00:30] <noladesi> don't they already have an LCD wit 120hz???
[00:30] <iflema> ice_stone smooth...yes
[00:30]  * Dr_Willis thinks we are getting into subjective marketing terms now...
[00:30] <meganerd> I am not sure if there are any drivers that support this in Linux though
[00:30] <anil_ded> Dr_willis: ntsf-config not worked
[00:30] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: what make / model is the display?
[00:30] <ice_stone> it have to be something with my config
[00:31] <ice_stone> hitiahi
[00:31] <linkz0r> i wonder why you'd need 240hz, 120 is more than enough
[00:31] <ice_stone> 120 is what I wanted
[00:31] <linkz0r> more than that and you won't notice any difference
[00:31] <R1kARD0> when i loging in i only see a terminal T_T anyone know where to find some answer
[00:31] <MavricAFK> I was on Compiz and I set reflection on and linux crashed, I restarted a few times and everytime right after I logged in the screen would freeze, can anybody help me?
[00:31] <noladesi> i want a million hz
[00:31] <R1kARD0> a guide to repair this problems
[00:31] <ice_stone> but instead i am stuck at 75hz at 1024x768
[00:31] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: wat model ? hitiahi do a wide range
[00:31] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, let me look u
[00:31] <phong_> can someone tell me where i can get a touchscreen driver for my tablet pc ?
[00:31] <Dr_Willis> anil_ded:  you did unmount the drives and let it remount them? perhaps log out/back in or perhaps reboot.
[00:31] <ice_stone> up
[00:31] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: its like saying an epson printer, we need the model
[00:32] <linkz0r> noiladesi, poor of your graphics programs, having to refresh millions per second to keep up with your monitor :3
[00:32] <anil_ded> Dr_willis: Yes Bro
[00:32] <onetinsoldier> hi. i could use some help with getting proprietary ati fglrx 9.12 drivers working. the fbdev driver appears to load, but the first error that appears in my log file is '(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory'. is there a specific package that creates /dev/fb0? btw, i do have 'dbus' and 'hal' installed. here is a pastebin of my entire Xorg log file --> http://pastebin.com/f670622f6

[00:34] <blakkheim> R1kARD0: what's wrong with that?
[00:34] <anil_ded> Dr_willis: Thanks dude
[00:34] <noladesi> ok
[00:35] <ActionParsnip__> MavricAFK: you'd be better asking in #compiz
[00:35] <MavricAFK> Ok
[00:36] <TheMozart> how can I tell ubuntu not to use my Nivida settings and just use default
[00:36] <noladesi> hey is uNR better for batt life compared to Win 7
[00:36] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, in nvidia setting it said i have 100hz for 1152x864 but why not 1024x768??
[00:36] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  you could rename the xorg.conf  so you have no xorg.conf then it should use defaults
[00:36] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: but wont it create it again upn rebooting?
[00:36] <ice_stone> i think it will make same other one
[00:37] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  No.
[00:37] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  i have several nvidia systems with no xorg.conf at all
[00:37] <ice_stone> oh..
[00:37] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: it seems my nivida is not liked by Ubuntu... thats why it gives that CRTC56 message
[00:37] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: ok, so what do I do? how I rename it?
[00:38] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  sudo mv whatever whatever.backup
[00:38] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: eh?
[00:38] <Dr_Willis> I think it may be time to lean  some bash basics.....
[00:39] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  sudo mv path/tp/file  /poath/to/newname.backup
[00:39] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: whats the command to rename the xorg.conf?  I type sudo mv xorg.conf x1.conf ?
[00:39] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  yes.. if you are in the proper directory which is /etc/X11
[00:39] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: are u playing with me?
[00:39] <TheMozart> sudo mv path/tp/file  /poath/to/newname.backup?? whats that? :P
[00:39] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: not sure, i'd sit on 100hz personally
[00:39] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  this is pretty much bash 101 day 1 stuff.
[00:39] <dandaman> so when i had 9.04 my hd that had windows on it was /media/disk, now when i upgraded to 9.10 the name got changed to /media/D231154353 how sould i go about changing the name back to disk? im afraid of breaking something by simply renaming it. when i right click on the disk in GParted, label is grayed out
[00:39] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  THINK about the paths/filenames  use your TAB keuy to complate the proper filenames
[00:40] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: so I go into /etc/X11 and type "sudo mv xorg.conf x1.conf"
[00:40] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  you got it
[00:40] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: then reboot and Ubuntun will actually start?
[00:40] <R1kARD0> so
[00:40] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:   just restart the GDM service  'sudo service gdm restart'
[00:41] <noladesi> Anyone compare NBR vs. Win 7
[00:41] <noladesi> in battery life
[00:41] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: there is no file called xorg.conf in my /etc/X11 folder. how come?
[00:41] <blakkheim> noladesi: this isn't the place for that
[00:41] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  looks like you are using the defaults then.. Unless your user has some specific settings set up
[00:41] <meganerd> noladesi: not apples to apples
[00:41] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: mv: cannot stat `xorg.conf': No such file or directory
[00:41] <setuid> So any ideas?
[00:41] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, in window xp (i dual booted) it do 100hz and 120hz just fine
[00:41] <Dr_Willis>  ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:42] <Dr_Willis> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1826 2009-11-08 02:50 /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:42] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: then i have no idea, is 100Hz that offensive?
[00:42] <noladesi> oh yeah meganerd
[00:42] <noladesi> i mean what do you think about UNR's performance
[00:42] <meganerd> noladesi: besides the biggest draw is going to be the LCD followed by the north bridge
[00:42] <Dr_Willis> noladesi:  unr works decent on my Netbook.
[00:42] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, i can't even get 100 or 120 to work
[00:42] <meganerd> I have a problem with my netbook's crappy ssd
[00:42] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: ok so maybe I should install the Nvidia drivers?
[00:42] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: which nvidia driver are you using?
[00:43] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  If you are using nvidia cards and want the best preformace.. yes.. Use the nvidia cxdrivers
[00:43] <meganerd> so I have not bothered to really bench it since I pretty much can't stand it
[00:43] <noladesi> It works well on mine also
[00:43] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: how I install them? command?
[00:43] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, the most recommended one
[00:43] <noladesi> The biggest issue i have with UNR is my mouse is a little strange
[00:43] <meganerd> it is useable with Linux and a RAM upgrade (with no swap)
[00:43] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: try adding the nvidia ppa and use the 195 driver, it may help
[00:43] <meganerd> no problem here
[00:43] <noladesi> yeah
[00:43] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, 185.18.36
[00:43] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: sudo apt-get install nvidia cxdrivers ?
[00:43] <noladesi> maybe i need to mess with the setttings
[00:43] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: try the 195 from the nvidia ppa
[00:44] <Dr_Willis> !nvidia | TheMozart
[00:44] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  it depends on your video card. I use the hardware-driver tool in the menus for mine
[00:44] <phong_> can someone tell me where i can get a touchscreen driver for my tablet pc ?
[00:44] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__,  what you mean ppa?
[00:44] <Dr_Willis> phong_:  i would check the forums for your exact tablet pc and see what others are using.
[00:44] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: where is the hardware-driver tool?
[00:45] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  in the system -> admin menus
[00:45] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: i ran hardware-driver tool but it didnt find anything
[00:45] <ActionParsnip__> !ppa | ice_stone
[00:45] <noladesi> hey are there drivers available for download for UNR???
[00:45] <meganerd> phong_: my lenovo x41 worked out of the box
[00:45] <ActionParsnip__> noladesi: that doesnt make sense, the drivers are for the hardware, not the OS
[00:45] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  No idea then. could be your card is one thats not supported by the driuvers yet. or some other oddity.
[00:45] <jiohdi> noladesi: like nvidia?
[00:45] <Dr_Willis> noladesi:  UNR uses the same drivers as ubuntu would
[00:45] <phong_> DR: i have fugitsu u810
[00:46] <Syco54645> how do i disable this notifier thing in karmic? i just installed this update and it is driving me crazy
[00:46] <Guest51632> j
[00:46] <Guest51632> j
[00:46] <Guest51632> j
[00:46] <FloodBot4> Guest51632: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:46] <phong_> everythign seeems to work but i can't u a touch screen
[00:46] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: search for nvidia ppa and add the extra repo, you can then install the 195 driver
[00:46] <noladesi> gotcha Willis
[00:46] <unkmar> I was using my laptop, decided to take a name and apparently it did too.
[00:46] <powertool08> Does anyone have a working samba config file which uses user-level security on a shared folder, but also allows guest to print without needing a password?
[00:46] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: yeah, somehing is wrong.. I get "Could not switch the monitor configuration. could not set the configuration for CRTC 56" whenever I run ubuntu in full screen.  But it actually does run in full screen OK it seems.. Can I be doing any damage to my laptop screen?
[00:46] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: it never did this on older Ubuntu
[00:46] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__,  ppa thing is interesting, i'm doing that now
[00:47] <unkmar> I am in via ssh from another machine but only the backlight comes on for the laptop.
[00:47] <iflema> noladesi if ya got time/resources checkout http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-moblin-remix/releases/9.10/release/
[00:47] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  the phrase 'ubuntu in full screen' seems... odd.. what do you mean exactly by that?
[00:47] <ActionParsnip__> powertool08: you define the allowed users in /etc/samba/smb.conf for each defined share
[00:47] <unkmar> it doesn't not respond to keystrokes or mouse movement.  How can I reawaken this thing?
[00:47] <ActionParsnip__> powertool08: you can set guest as allowed ok for the printers seperatel
[00:47] <powertool08> ActionParsnip__: I haved my passworded share working, but I can't get my printer to even show up on a windows computer.
[00:48] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  if its a laptop - i would check the forums for that exact model of laptop and see what others say about it
[00:48] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: running Ubuntu as guest through Virtualbox
[00:48] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: as soon as I press full screen, I get that message
[00:48] <ActionParsnip__> powertool08: under windows add a network printer and give the full path to the printer share
[00:48] <powertool08> ActionParsnip__: I have public = yes, browseable = yes, and guest ok = yes set in my printers section.
[00:48] <NotTooSmart> how do i determine which port on a system is the 2.0 usb ?
[00:49] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  Err.. i dont recall you mentionign virtualbox  - for vbox the card/drivers dont matter. You install teh  Virtualboxc guest addations.. and thats it..
[00:49] <Dr_Willis> that was the first time he MENTIONED virtualbox right? :)
[00:50] <unkmar> apt-get install defibulator; sudo defibulate -revive-from-sleep-mode
[00:50] <powertool08> ActionParsnip__: Is there not a way to make it show up in the list when browsing to add one? I'd like it to be easy for others.
[00:50] <ActionParsnip__> powertool08: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba   scroll to about 80% down, shows you the lines you need in smb.conf
[00:50] <Dr_Willis> powertool08:  i recall some 'default' option in samba for default shares to show. also.
[00:51] <TheBigDirtyEmu> Could some one give me a hand with some bash and rTorrent/
[00:51] <powertool08> ActionParsnip__: Dr_Willis Thanks, I'll look into both of those.
[00:52] <NotTooSmart> powertool08, http://pastebin.com/f7de0375 that is a sample smb.conf for you
[00:52] <Dr_Willis> powertool08:  i just enable the home shares and type in the actual username at the end of the share line then bookmark it :)
[00:52] <Dr_Willis> NotTooSmart:  thats empty. :)
[00:53] <powertool08> NotTooSmart: Nothing loaded, but I'm not looking for a simple conf. I want to password all shares except the printer.
[00:53] <phong_> DR: i got touch screen to work when i go to bios and set up   as Touch Panel instead of Tablet
[00:53] <NotTooSmart> Dr_Willis, powertool08  um, ok nevermind then
[00:53] <phong_> but then, it is not calebrate
[00:53] <powertool08> NotTooSmart: Thanks for the effort though.
[00:53] <phong_> is tthere a software to calibrate fugitsu u810 ?
[00:54] <NotTooSmart> powertool08, if you want to password protect set security = user
[00:55] <javatexan> hey something is broke
[00:55] <powertool08> NotTooSmart: I have that set, the problem is, with security set to user instead of share, I can't share printers without a password.
[00:55] <NotTooSmart> powertool08, hrm...
[00:56] <phong_> anyone know a full instruction how to install evtouch for ubuntu?
[00:56] <cooldeniz> jo
[00:56] <zetheroo> while trying to do ./configure I am getting this error: checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!
[00:56] <NotTooSmart> powertool08, can you enable guest account for printing?
[00:57] <cooldeniz> jo
[00:57] <gkahla> zetheroo- do you have the -dev versions of xorg installed?
[00:57] <Necromancyr> Ok, tried the beginners channel and it seems dead so figured I might try here.  Was wondering if something was possible and how, exactly, xrandx works.  Basically, is it possible to use xrandx to horizontally mirror/reflect the screen and the run Windows in a virtual box and have that be reflected as well?
[00:57] <zetheroo> gkahla: don't know
[00:58] <gkahla> if you don't have the -dev version of all the various libs installed, you can't build against them...
[00:58] <zetheroo> gkahla: would it be xserver-xorg-dev ?
[00:58] <powertool08> NotTooSmart: It doesn't do much good. The user would still be prompted for a password because its wanting them to log in before they can see the printer.
[00:58] <gkahla> zetheroo- let me check
[00:58] <Syco54645> how do i disable this notifier thing in karmic? i just installed this update and it is driving me crazy
[00:59] <phong_> ok my last question: is it good idea to get precompile or the source then i do compile ?
[00:59] <Roasted> Whenever I create a group in ubuntu, then close, and try to apply the group to a folder in terminal, it says invalid group. When I go back, the group is gone. Why is this group disappearing each time I add it?
[00:59] <Jef91> Howdy All - I am trying to use apt-get build-dep from a program and it is telling me "E: Build-dependencies for maxima could not be satisfied.
[00:59] <Jef91> " is there a way I can have it tell me which depens it cannot get?...
[00:59] <mglibin> Hello all!
[00:59] <Necromancyr> No one?  Damn it.  If I have to redesign this arcade cabinet after building it I'm going to lose it.
[00:59] <zetheroo> Syco54645: hehe ... yeah it can get a bit annoying ...
[01:00] <mglibin> What up?
[01:00] <Necromancyr> Me?  Trying to understand the limitations of xrandx. :)
[01:00] <morphix> Necromancyr: so what is the purpose?
[01:00] <mglibin> Do you speak Chuvash?
[01:00] <zetheroo> gkahla: btw I installed that package but still get the error ...
[01:00] <morphix> reflecting the screen in reverse onto a mirror?
[01:00] <NotTooSmart> powertool08, are you sure its possible to view devices without logging in?
[01:01] <Syco54645> zetheroo, any way to disable it??
[01:01] <powertool08> NotTooSmart: Pretty sure
[01:01] <Necromancyr> It's a computer in an arcade cabinet that's going to run MAME.   The cabinet is a mirror setup - so the player looks into a mirror to play.
[01:01] <Syco54645> its really bad in my netbook...
[01:01] <mglibin> xcv
[01:01] <morphix> in gnome
[01:01] <NotTooSmart> powertool08, im looking through the docs, trying to figure it out and finding nothing
[01:01] <zetheroo> Syco54645: there must be .. have you googled it?
[01:01] <mglibin> dfgdfg
[01:01] <Syco54645> zetheroo, i have and didnt find anything...
[01:01] <powertool08> Dr_Willis: The default share kinda works. It still prompts for a user/pass, but regardless of what's entered it will now show my printer share after the login fails.
[01:01] <Necromancyr> If I can find the appropriate front ends and emulators in linux, I'll use them instead...but right now it looks like the emu/FE software has to be in Windows...and there's NO way to mirror the output on windows for a LCD display.
[01:01] <morphix> in gnome there is a configure display settings panel applet
[01:01] <Roasted> Guys. Why is my group disappearing each time I add it.
[01:02] <morphix> you can right click and change the orientation
[01:02] <morphix> eg. upside down, to the right, to the left
[01:02] <powertool08> NotTooSmart: I know, I can find lots of documentation on passwording it, or leaving it wide open, but not to use a combination depending on the share.
[01:02] <noladesi1> yo
[01:02] <morphix> do you need to mirror it upside down?
[01:02] <NotTooSmart> powertool08, thats what I meant ....
[01:02] <Necromancyr> Morphix: I don't actually have ubuntu installed.  I wanted to try to understand how the flipping works so that I can make sure it will do what I need prior to spending the time on it.
[01:02] <Necromancyr> No - mirror left to right.
[01:03] <morphix> ah
[01:03] <Necromancyr> If you hold your monitor up into a mirror - that's what I need my video output to look like by default.
[01:03] <Necromancyr> I think xrandx -reflect x does this.
[01:03] <qualitang> Network Manager won't automatically reconnect to my wireless network after a router reboot. Ubuntu 8.10, Can some one point me in the right direction?
[01:03] <Johnny_425> ubuntu 9.10 desktop edition won't detect my headphones, please help!!!
[01:03] <zetheroo> Syco54645: in Startup applications there is an entry called Indicator applet ... you could try disabling it and re-login ...
[01:04] <Necromancyr> I'm willing to attempt it, but I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to ubuntu and linux in general...so I'm wondering what xrandx actually works on.  If I used that, would it reflect EVERYTHING (which is desired), only certain stuff, etc.  (i.e. would it reflect programs using SDL)
[01:04] <zetheroo> Syco54645: scrap that
[01:04] <desero> Necromancyr: you can probably try it out on the livecd without installing anything
[01:04] <Johnny_425> ubuntu 9.10 desktop edition won't detect my headphones, please help!!!
[01:04] <Syco54645> zetheroo, ok, i am not even sure what to call this thing other than annoying...
[01:04] <Roasted> My group I make keeps disappearing each time I add it. WHY is it just disappearing?!
[01:05] <zetheroo> Syco54645: the indicator applet is the little envelope icon on the panel ...
[01:05] <powertool08> Dr_Willis: Actually, when running through the gui to add a printer, it shows up now. I guess it attempted to log in as the windows user, failed, then opened anyway. Thanks you made my day :D
[01:05] <zetheroo> Syco54645: this is probably a service running ...
[01:05] <noladesi1> yo
[01:05] <Necromancyr> Desero: One's downloading now.  Honestly, was just curious if anyone knew about how it worked at a lower level since attempting the whole virtual box of an xp machine isn't going to be easy... (Well, it might be, but it's going to take awhile to do)
[01:05] <noXandOs> If used Wubi to install Ubuntu within windows would I also be able to login virtually with VirtualBox?
[01:05] <noladesi1> why is there a 1 by my name
[01:05] <tamran> howdy everyone
[01:05] <noladesi1> how do i log in to my old user.
[01:05] <ActionParsnip__> noXandOs: can you clarify the question, wubi and virtualbox are seperate
[01:06] <tamran> I've got Kubuntu 9.10 installed and I'm finding the gtk2 apps all have bigger fonts than the kde ones.  Is there any way to change this?  Keep in mind, I've been all over the menus and settings (yes I found the settings for gtk fonts).
[01:06] <powertool08> NotTooSmart: Seems the 'default service = $printer_share_name' line is the key. Thanks for the ideas.
[01:06] <noXandOs> i know
[01:06] <tamran> it seems like half the font types in gnome apps under kde look just right, but things like pop up menus are about 30% larger
[01:06] <ActionParsnip__> noXandOs: you can run virtualbox inside a wubi install
[01:06] <NotTooSmart> powertool08, heh i dont think I helped you but Im glad you figured it out
[01:06] <noXandOs> it is kind of a hard question to word, let me see
[01:06] <tamran> does anyone know how to fix?
[01:06] <Syco54645> zetheroo, yeah. you would think it would be easier to disable since i assume most people do not appreciate it
[01:06] <ActionParsnip__> !ghost
[01:06] <ActionParsnip__> noladesi1: ^
[01:07] <noXandOs> what if i want to log in to my wubi installation from windows through virtualbox?
[01:07] <ActionParsnip__> noXandOs: its a different file structure so i doubt it will work
[01:07] <noladesi1> this irc stuff is strange
[01:08] <zetheroo> Syco54645: well I have a very high res screen so its ok ... but I would like if when i click on it that it would disappear
[01:08] <thermal_> is there a way to bootstrap windows on your different virtual desktops when you start? I would also like to do the same with chrome or firefox starting windows going to particular urls on different virtual spaces and screens
[01:08] <phong_> i have this problem: where can i find the package: No package 'xorg-server' found
[01:08] <phong_> does anyone has a clue?
[01:09] <desero> Necromancyr: I haven't used this software, but I have used the nvidia drivers to flip the image on the screen, i doubt this will be a problem
[01:09] <Syco54645> zetheroo, my screen is pretty high res too, it is just annoying. clicking should make it go away or i should be able to set the duration...
[01:10] <zetheroo> Syco54645: ok I am having a look around
[01:11] <mluser-home> any screen experts online?
[01:12] <marc__> I have a HTPC running winxp, another computer running linux most of the time for web development but booting in WinXP for gaming. I want to create a file/print/torrent server in the closet with a spare computer I have. Should I go with NFS or Samba?
[01:12] <powertool08> mluser-home: Not an expert but I use it some.
[01:12] <noladesi1> ok
[01:13] <Syco54645> zetheroo, if you have other things to do dont worry about it
[01:13] <linxeh> marc__: CIFS (samba), or do both
[01:13] <phong_> how to open browser as root?
[01:13] <mluser-home> powertool08: I'm trying to set the default on horizontal split to start a new shell rather than an empty section
[01:13] <phong_> nautilius?
[01:13] <linxeh> marc__: nfs is easier for unix hosts, but a PITA for Windows
[01:13] <linxeh> phong_: sudo nautilus
[01:14] <mluser-home> powertool08: when I use ctrl+a S, I get a new empty section, I want to change the behavior to start a new shell
[01:14] <noladesi1> irc is messing with me
[01:15] <powertool08> mluser-home: Sorry, I don't use it that much. I'd guess you need to add something to a screenrc file in your user directory, ex: /home/user/.screenrc
[01:15] <marc__> that what I thought with what I was reading... then I have a problem, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 right now (desktop) and installed Ubuntu 9.10 server in the closet, but when I try to move files (from desktop to server), nautilus crash after 4Gb... seems to be samba related but not sure how to fix that...
[01:15] <iflema> mluser-home man screen in a terminal
[01:16] <powertool08> mluser-home: #bash is pretty good with screen if you can't find an answer here.
[01:16] <mluser-home> powertool08: thanks.. I'll try #bash
[01:16] <linxeh> marc__: what happens using the command line ?
[01:17] <millertimek1a2m3> anyone need some help?
[01:17] <protojay> yes millertimek1a2m3 , how do i stop ubuntu sucking?
[01:18] <ActionParsnip__> protojay: use the minimal install and only install what you need
[01:18] <millertimek1a2m3> protojay, this is like the second joke i've gotten like that
[01:18] <marc__> I have no idea how to move files across network using command line :(
[01:18] <iflema> millertimek1a2m3 twinview with seperate backgound images?
[01:18] <Necromancyr> :)  Easy one.  How can I get to a command line on the LiveCD version :)  need to try something with xrandx
[01:18] <ActionParsnip__> marc__: mount the remote filesystem, then you can copy it like a local folder
[01:19] <Necromancyr> ...nevermind.  Just found it under accessories.  and I meant xrandr
[01:19] <millertimek1a2m3> iflema, I've read up on that, i've had multiple monitors set up as well once, it's something that they've been trying to implement for a long time
[01:19] <millertimek1a2m3> have you checked the ubuntuforums?
[01:19] <zetheroo> Syco54645: I have a really good look through gconf-editor ... could not find anything there ... but this is a very good issue ..
[01:19] <iflema> millertimek1a2m3 mmm other distros have it out da box with twinview.... prob should look ito it huh
[01:19] <zetheroo> Syco54645: have you seen this  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1360080
[01:20] <millertimek1a2m3> iflema, well what other distros support this out of the box?
[01:20] <millertimek1a2m3> because I tried for a long time to get it working
[01:20] <marc__> then how can I mount remote filesystem? I now how to do that for local drive but not on remote... any good link where I can learn that?
[01:21] <Syco54645> zetheroo, i had back when i was trying to disable it on my netbook and it caused unr not to run...
[01:21] <ActionParsnip__> marc__: what is the remote share? samba? ftp? ssh?
[01:21]  * iflema scrap'n for memory...... mandirva2010 is one.... i think cant remember.....
[01:21] <millertimek1a2m3> iflema, there's an app in the repos called "multiple screens". it might be what you're looking for
[01:21] <Syco54645> zetheroo, the second post that is, the third says just to remove the indicator app
[01:21] <iflema> good one
[01:21] <marc__> default with ubuntu was samba
[01:21] <humble1> have a nice day everyone :)
[01:21] <marc__> when I open remote computer with Nautilus I see "smb://ubuntu-data-cent/"..
[01:21] <zetheroo> Syco54645: yeah ..
[01:21] <noladesi1> yo
[01:21] <Syco54645> zetheroo, i will try that
[01:22] <ActionParsnip__> marc__: http://www.geekology.co.za/blog/2009/04/ubuntu-linux-quick-tip-mount-samba-windows-file-share-to-folder/    stuff like this is ok
[01:22] <noladesi1> i need a link to learn about irc.
[01:22] <ActionParsnip__> marc__: i believe if you access the share there will be a folder in ~/.gvfs
[01:23] <marc__> ActionParsnip__, ok thanks a lot, I'll go try/check that. :)
[01:24] <iflema> millertimek1a2m3 its really not important but if you have the time.... whats the cli command... is it twinview with seperate background images.... is it stable... does it work?
[01:24] <zetheroo> Syco54645: seems to me that the other way to disable the notifications is to disable the specific apps from reporting their status ...
[01:24] <Necromancyr> Ok, now I do need help.  If anyone has ever used xrandr, can you help me in figuring out how to determine what my output is for this?
[01:25] <millertimek1a2m3> iflema, i think ubuntu uses xrandr have you read up on that?
[01:25] <zetheroo> Syco54645: for instance you can tell nm-applet to not report disconnections
[01:25] <millertimek1a2m3> iflema, i don't know what you're talking about with cli command
[01:25] <RocketLauncher> When transferring files off a cd to my hdd, there's NO Progress bar
[01:25] <RocketLauncher> i'm using nautilus
[01:25] <Syco54645> zetheroo, i will have to look into that
[01:25] <Syco54645> really annoying on pidgin
[01:25] <RocketLauncher> there's no progress bar in thunar either. i can't tell if this thing is done.. no way to show progress
[01:25] <meganerd> xrandr is what gnome is using to actually change screen geometry etc
[01:25] <iflema> millertimek1a2m3 cli = command line... apparently and ill just keep using my cut&paste 2 piece image
[01:27] <humble1> ActionParsnip__: http://www.geekology.co.za/blog/about/ is you are?
[01:28] <ActionParsnip__> humble1: sure about what?
[01:29] <zetheroo> Syco54645: in Pidgin there is a plugin for libnotify ... disabling that plugin will probably stop the Pidgin notifications ...
[01:29] <Johnny_425> no sound is coming out of my headphones, they are plugged in at the front headphone jack, it also has a mic, which is plugged into the microphone jack. Please help me.
[01:29] <humble1> ActionParsnip__: Hi! My name’s Willem, I’m a 25-year old. it's true?
[01:29] <Syco54645> zetheroo, yes it did, thanks
[01:30] <ActionParsnip__> humble1: if you say so
[01:30] <MenZa> !ot
[01:30] <RocketLauncher> When transferring files off a cd to my hdd, there's no way to show progress so i can't know how long it has to go until it's done transferring............. what should i do? this is irritating
[01:30] <ActionParsnip__> RocketLauncher: it will show a progress bar in a DE
[01:30] <humble1> ActionParsnip__: nice blog. MenZa; don't jealous.
[01:30] <RocketLauncher> ActionParsnip__, running gnome
[01:31] <DaZ> RocketLauncher: you can use du to measure how much is left
[01:31] <alan_> I am getting the following error whenever I download anything from synapticE: inform: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
[01:31] <Nafri_> is it possible to group programs by type in gnome panel? like in kde multiple documents are grouped, multiple firefox sessions can be grouped etc
[01:31] <DaZ> or look for progressbar patches [;
[01:31] <ActionParsnip__> RocketLauncher: you can add this in cli to get progress: http://chris-lamb.co.uk/2008/01/24/can-you-get-cp-to-give-a-progress-bar-like-wget/ in clie
[01:31] <Johnny_425> no sound is coming out of my headphones, they are plugged in at the front headphone jack, it also has a mic, which is plugged into the microphone jack. Please help me.
[01:31] <ActionParsnip__> RocketLauncher: the gnome desktop will show a progress bar
[01:32] <RocketLauncher> why doesn't nautilus have a progress bar in the first place? seems illogical
[01:32] <dworek> hello all
[01:32] <humphreybc1> How would I go about setting up sound to work on Ubuntu Server Edition?
[01:32] <ActionParsnip__> RocketLauncher: it does
[01:32] <RocketLauncher> ActionParsnip__, i dont want to do it via cli, i don't like file managing through cli
[01:32] <onetinsoldier> alan_: hello. i can try and help. hang on a minute here...
[01:32] <ActionParsnip__> RocketLauncher: looks like this: http://ultimate.in.rs/temp/ubuntu/CopyQueue_Expanded.png
[01:33] <Johnny_425> no sound is coming out of my headphones, they are plugged in at the front headphone jack, it also has a mic, which is plugged into the microphone jack. Please help me. I was sent here by #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:33] <dworek> can somebody help me with weake wifi signal on Ubuntu?
[01:33] <RocketLauncher> ActionParsnip__, how do i get it working
[01:33] <alan_> onetinsoldier thanks
[01:33] <ActionParsnip__> RocketLauncher: just copy and paste a file in nautilus, its te default activity
[01:34] <ActionParsnip__> dworek: run: sudo lshw -C network     you will see the product line, you may need firmware
[01:34] <RocketLauncher> Aciid, i've been dragging in dropping, my bad
[01:34] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, how long do you wait for the PPA key to work?
[01:35] <emma> what does ubuntu need?
[01:35] <millertimek1a2m3> emma? i didn't know that girls used linux
[01:35] <onetinsoldier> alan_: you're welcome. ok, i give it a try. let's see if we can figure out what's not installed. what's the output of --> dpkg -l \* | grep '^in'  ??
[01:35] <millertimek1a2m3> at all
[01:35] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: as long as it takes dude, you can manually add the ppa lines to /etc/at/sources.list
[01:35] <emma> millertimek1a2m3: that's pretty silly of you then.
[01:35] <alan_> onetinsoldier ok let me see
[01:35] <microhaxo> I need help, Could anyone on here help me setup a mips toolchain? I've never programmed outside of x86 before. I have all the source files and a mips-4.3 file containing everything needed.
[01:35] <millertimek1a2m3> emma: are you in college? what do you use linux for?
[01:35] <Arv3n> meh. nfl football forums suck
[01:36] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: you will have to manually import the key on the nvidia pa page tough (not hard)
[01:36] <john> hello to every one
[01:36] <Arv3n> i misnamed a player and got insulted by like 5 different people.
[01:36] <daftykins> !hi | john
[01:36] <Guest67140> ok  this is so cool
[01:36] <tzeentch73> Hi.  Anybody got an idea for me.   I've been trying to install ubuntu server for 3 days.  I just got the grub install from the CD (farthest yet).  My DVD (brand new darnit) keeps dying in the middle of the install.  Is there a way to install grub for there, or at least reboot the computer and pick up from where it left off
[01:36] <iflema> emma some of the mainstream applications/topics have html docs that could use some lovin
[01:37] <daftykins> tzeentch73: have you tried running the CD check/test option?
[01:37] <ActionParsnip__> tzeentch73: did you md5 test the ISO files youo downloaded?
[01:37] <onetinsoldier> alan_: if you don't get anything from that, there's a few more to try yet. --> dpkg -l \* | grep '^iF'
[01:37] <emma> iflema: i see. so documentation. Not a bad suggestion at all.
[01:37] <microhaxo> Could anyone on here help me setup a mips toolchain?
[01:37] <millertimek1a2m3> emma: are you in college? what do you use linux for?
[01:37] <daftykins> !ot | millertimek1a2m3
[01:37] <emma> iflema: I was sort of hoping though, if say, you had a medium sized team of developers who were eager to do something, what could ubuntu use that would be appreciated and popular?
[01:37] <iflema> emma now ya talking
[01:38] <noladesi> dang
[01:38] <emma> daftykins: is right, im going to take this elsewhere :)
[01:38] <Guest67140> i want to know is ubuntu better then windows
[01:38] <millertimek1a2m3> emma are you a developer?
[01:38] <tzeentch73> ActionParnisp__ : yes.  I even verified the CD.  It verified at first, but if verify it now, it tells me that it's no good ( I don't even hear the player running).
[01:38] <ActionParsnip__> tzeentch73: have you tested your ram?
[01:39] <Guest67140> this is the first time im useing ubuntu
[01:39]  * olivetree oi pessoal ;)
[01:39] <daftykins> Guest67140: there is no 'better' in computing, merely what does the job and what suits you as a person
[01:39] <Guest67140> any on can pass on tips
[01:39] <alan_> onetinsoldier "in  pacman   <none>    (no description available)
[01:39] <ActionParsnip__> Guest67140: theres no right answer to that, if ubuntu suits your needs closer than windows then yes. if windows gives you more of what you need, then no
[01:39] <tzeentch73> ActionParsnip__ : Yes.  I let it run for about 4-5 hours.  It founds a few errors, but not many.
[01:40] <ActionParsnip__> Guest67140: it depends what you want to use your system for to if ubuntu is the tool for the job
[01:40] <tzeentch73> on 8 gigs.
[01:40] <Guest67140> but can you instal windows on ubuntu
[01:40] <ActionParsnip__> tzeentch73: sounds like your ram errors are causing the issues, you should have zero errors in the ram test
[01:40] <onetinsoldier> alan_: roger. ok, that's a problem package then, pacman. do you know how to use auto tab-completion?
[01:40] <ActionParsnip__> Guest67140: so you can virtualise, but you can virtualise ubuntu under windows
[01:40] <noXandOs> IS there a place for beginners of linux to read up? I'm new to l inux but pretty computer savvy otherwise.
[01:40] <daftykins> Guest67140: if you mean virtualization then yes, but you can install lots of OSs on windows and lots of OSs on Linux too
[01:41] <alan_> onetinsoldier no I don't
[01:41] <onetinsoldier> alan_: ok
[01:41] <B3rz3rk3r> noXandOs, what do you want to know about?
[01:41] <noXandOs> I just like to read stuff but I cant start at the end of the book ya know?
[01:41] <greezmunkey> hello ppl :)
[01:41] <onetinsoldier> alan_: try the following on the command line --> cd /var/cache/apt/archives
[01:42] <tzeentch73> ActionParsnip__ : Really.  I didn't know that (thought a few was normal).  I'll try switching the ram around then to see if it does anything.
[01:42] <Guest67140> man this is so cool to find a place were you can get help and learn more with out people trying to hack your computer
[01:42] <B3rz3rk3r> noXandOs, are you interested in the history or the current applications, or the kernel.. try be more specfic?
[01:42] <onetinsoldier> alan_: then --> ls pacman* - and tell me what the output is
[01:42] <ActionParsnip__> tzeentch73: id look into working out which stick is bad and remove it
[01:42] <alan_> ls pacman
[01:42] <noXandOs> Current applications and learning my way around the file system and stuff.
[01:43] <B3rz3rk3r> noXandOs, that i can help you with.. mind if i pm you?
[01:43] <binMonkey> is there a way to save a document in vim BUT still keep it open?
[01:43] <iflema> Guest67140 watch what ya say when ya ip address is on display...
[01:43] <blakkheim> binMonkey: :w
[01:43] <noXandOs> Nope not at all
[01:43] <tzeentch73> ActionParsnip__  : yeah, I'll test them in pairs...
[01:43] <binMonkey> blakkheim: thanks!!!!!!
[01:43] <alan_> onetinsoldier No such file or directory
[01:44] <microhaxo> Anyone?
[01:44] <mgrotte> I have recently installed adito ssl vpn on 9.10 server 32bit and every time I reboot the server I have to manually restart the adito service for it to accept my login.  any ideas on how to fix this problem,  adito is the old ssl-explorer that is now owned by openvpn aka openvpn als server
[01:44] <onetinsoldier> alan_: what's the output of --> pwd
[01:45] <emanux> hello, i have a off-topic question about running subclipse
[01:45] <mgrotte> opt/adito-0.9.1
[01:45] <alan_> ontinsoldier /var/cache/apt/archives
[01:45] <onetinsoldier> alan_: ok. hmmm. well, what happens if you do --> apt-get -f install
[01:45] <emanux> it says: Unable to load default svn client
[01:46] <emanux> setup: eclipse 3.5 ubuntu karmic
[01:46] <onetinsoldier> alan_: you'll probably just get the same error message as before, but i thought i'd have you try it
[01:46] <emanux> it is looking JavaHL
[01:46] <mgrotte> no packages to install
[01:48] <microhaxo> So no one knows how to setup a toolchain?
[01:48] <mgrotte> Anybody now why adito ssl vpn service needs to be restart after server reboot in order to get logins working again??
[01:48] <daftykins> mgrotte: why not add an auto restart into /etc/rc.local ?
[01:49] <rstob911> MTecknology: are you around
[01:49] <mgrotte> how would I do that, what would the line look like. I have never had to do that before
[01:50] <alan_> onetinsoldier autoremoving one moment
[01:50] <onetinsoldier> alan_: ok
[01:51] <daftykins> mgrotte: same command as to restart the service i think. however you're doing it now
[01:52] <greezmunkey> Will someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction to determine which device name my attached serial port is using? Dell laptop, integrated serial.
[01:52] <daftykins> say "/etc/init.d/service restart" or for 9.10 server maybe "service <servicename> restart"
[01:52] <Mtn-Man> hi
[01:52] <Mtn-Man> anyone here use  bitpim?
[01:52] <funkyHat> What's the best way to get grub 2 to default to -rt kernels? At the moment I can select them from the list, but because the -generic kernel has a higher minor revision version it gets chosen as the default

[02:06] <Gateway> hello
[02:06] <konbon> looks like its installing now
[02:06] <konbon> thanks anyways
[02:06] <NanoGuy> hello gateway
[02:06] <alan_> onetinsoldier http://paste.ubuntu.com/358806/
[02:06] <Dr_Willis> konbon:  you nroamlly 'run' a .run from the terminal. not the gui
[02:07] <Dr_Willis> konbon:  'chmod +x whatever.run'  then 'sudo ./whatever.run'
[02:07] <Gateway> I would like to know what I have to give as an answer to " what is the location of the "vwmare" program on your computer ? " :)
[02:07] <konbon> Dr_Willis: that's what im doing, im in terminal
[02:07] <konbon> but it said i had no permission
[02:07] <Dr_Willis> Gateway:  it installs parts where they need to go.
[02:07] <onetinsoldier> alan_: ok, i'm reading it now...
[02:07] <konbon> so, i tried to log in as admin, but i got "wrong password" error
[02:07] <Dr_Willis> konbon:  note teh use of the 'sudo' command
[02:07] <konbon> yes, tried that as well
[02:07] <alan_> onetinsoldier ok
[02:07] <konbon> still said wrong pass
[02:08] <konbon> anywho, its all done now
[02:08] <Mtn-Man> can anyone help me with bitpim
[02:08] <Mtn-Man> ?
[02:08] <Gateway> Dr_Willis, and what directory should I give to it ? /usr/vmware ?
[02:09] <Gateway> or /var/lib/vmware ?
[02:09] <Dr_Willis> Gateway:  it? give what excactly?
[02:09] <onetinsoldier> alan_: i'll be back in a minute. i see that it's the 'inform' package that's giving you trouble
[02:09] <alan_> onetinsoldier yes, I saw that too
[02:09] <Gateway> Setup is unable to find the "vmware" program on your machine. Please make sure
[02:09] <Gateway> it is installed. Do you want to specify the location of this program by hand?
[02:09] <Gateway> [yes]
[02:10] <Dr_Willis> Gateway:  what setup program?
[02:10] <Gateway> of vmware server
[02:10] <Dr_Willis> try 'which vmware' or whatever vmware command you use. I dont use vmware. I perfer virtualbox
[02:10] <Dr_Willis> !vmware
[02:10] <konbon> buh, now my X is pooped
[02:11] <Gateway> and I don't know why it gives such thing ? because I'm just trying to install it
[02:11] <konbon> screen went all pink and green
[02:11] <konbon> meh, back to Debian, this Ubuntu is for the kids :P
[02:11] <konbon> Thanks anyways, peace
[02:12] <onetinsoldier> alan_: ok, i'm back
[02:13] <alan_> onetinsoldier ok
[02:13] <desero> Gateway, how are you trying to install it?
[02:13] <onetinsoldier> alan_: you could try making that directory that it says is missing and then see if the package will proceed to install
[02:13] <desero> and also, why not use virtual box?
[02:13] <Gateway> desero, I've downloaded the .tar.gz file
[02:13] <Gateway> then I've tried to run the script .pl
[02:14] <alan_> onetinsoldier : sorry let me see i'll be right back
[02:14] <Gateway> I guess it's in perl
[02:14] <onetinsoldier> alan_: if you want to try that then do the following --> sudo mkdir /usr/bin/inform-6.31 && sudo dpkg --configure inform
[02:15] <NanoGuy> just joking
[02:15] <Gateway> it asked me if I agree with the licence ... but it stops here and asks me to give it the location of the vmware program on my machine
[02:15] <onetinsoldier> alan_: ok

[02:15] <desero> Gateway, are you trying to install the vmware service?
[02:15] <onetinsoldier> alan_: ah-ha!
[02:15] <onetinsoldier> alan_: :-)
[02:16] <Gateway> desero, I'm trying to install the vmware server
[02:16] <Gateway> yes
[02:16] <desero> Gateway, yes, server sorry
[02:16] <alan_> onetinsoldier let me try synaptic
[02:16] <onetinsoldier> alan_: roger
[02:17] <R1kARD0> hello
[02:18] <alan_> onetinsoldier :) yep Roger that, that's got it!
[02:18] <Gateway> I got back to the extracted vmware file
[02:18] <R1kARD0> i have a little trouble, when i log in to my ubuntu session the only thing that appear is a terminal
[02:18] <onetinsoldier> alan_: awesome! enjoy :)
[02:18] <phong_> how to install evtouch in ubuntu
[02:18] <Gateway> and after typing ls -l I got this thing : vmware-install.pl -> bin/vmware-uninstall-mui.pl
[02:18] <phong_> i'm reallly stuck
[02:18] <R1kARD0> no windows border, nothing, no pannels
[02:18] <alan_> onetinsoldier I appreciate the help
[02:18] <R1kARD0> anyone know anything about it?
[02:18] <Nafri_> does anybody knows how can i delete the gnome panel?
[02:18] <onetinsoldier> alan_: you're welcome
[02:19] <Nafri_> i can't delete the last panel
[02:19] <Gateway> and there is a file called bin
[02:19] <Nafri_> the option is disabled
[02:19] <petsounds> Nafri_, why? you only have one panel?
[02:20] <onetinsoldier> alan_: are you still here?
[02:20] <desero> Gateway, I haven't installed vmware, but that looks like a symlink to an uninstall file, which I don't understand
[02:20] <Nafri_> petsounds : i am using awn manager now... so i want to remove the gnome-panel
[02:21] <Gateway> desero, ok thanks anyway :)
[02:21] <desero> Gateway, and just to make sure, is there some special reason you are using vmware server instead of virtualbox? because that would be far simpler
[02:21] <onetinsoldier> alan_: i saw what might be a slight issue with the 'inform' install, that warning you got might be a slight issue, but probably not a huge deal
[02:21] <alan_> onetinsoldier yes?
[02:21] <Gateway> desero, because I would like to access to windows from linux
[02:21] <onetinsoldier> alan_: you should run a command about that warning message.. one moment
[02:21] <desero> Gateway, you can to that with virtualbox
[02:21] <Gateway> there are many programs that I'm obliged to use :s
[02:22] <onetinsoldier> alan_: just so you know, i'm talking about this warning message --> update-alternatives: warning: not replacing /usr/bin/inform with a link.
[02:22] <desero> Gateway, if you just type "sudo apt-get install virtualbox" in the terminal, you will have installed virtualbox in a few minutes
[02:23] <Gateway> desero, I know but there are other reasons for that :s
[02:23] <desero> and setting up windows through virtualbox is very simple
[02:23] <alan_> onetinsoldier ok
[02:23] <desero> oh, okay
[02:23] <Gateway> the company is using vmware
[02:23] <Gateway> and I have to learn things about this program
[02:24] <onetinsoldier> alan_: you can check it out a little bit with the follwing command --> sudo update-alternatives --display inform
[02:24] <Gateway> I guess you undertand the situation, desero :)
[02:24] <petsounds> Nafri_, i don't think you can. but i might be wrong.
[02:24] <alan_> onetinsoldier okay pasting to paste bin
[02:24] <Gateway> thanks guys ;)

[02:25] <gamer> is this english ubuntu?
[02:26] <gamer> od german?
[02:26] <desero> Gateway, did the perlscript not offer a default setup directories?
[02:26] <onetinsoldier> alan_: show me the output of --> ls -l /usr/bin/inform
[02:26] <phong_> question: in ubuntu is there a file call /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:27] <phong_> how come i can't fine it?
[02:27] <phong_> they told me to modify something in that file, but i can't seem to fine it in here /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:27] <phong_> can someone tell me ?
[02:27] <Gateway> desero, no unfortunatly :s
[02:27] <kh_> Hi guys I need help, how do I install Flash 9
[02:27] <kh_> not 10
[02:28] <desero> Gateway, according to the manual I am reading, the script should offer default directories
[02:28] <alan_> onetinsoldier -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 435828 2008-05-29 11:20 /usr/bin/inform
[02:28] <desero> Gateway, sure there is not an option, maybe just write "default" as a parameter or something
[02:28] <kh_> Guys, anyone know how to install Flash 9 instead of 10?
[02:28] <desero> Gateway, oh, and btw, are you installing the program as root?
[02:28] <alan_> onetinsoldier fyi inform binary works
[02:29] <Gateway> desero, ok I'll try :)
[02:29] <syrius> how do I get SVIDEO to work in ubuntu?
[02:29] <Gateway> desero, of course as root :)
[02:29] <syrius> I think I am going to move back to windows
[02:29] <desero> just making sure :)

[02:29] <ice_stone> hey
[02:29] <mgrotte> anybody know how to restart a service after boot, I tried to add it in rc.local with no sucess
[02:29] <petsounds> phong_, did you try to open it with gedit?
[02:29] <kh_> Anyone?
[02:29] <onetinsoldier> alan_: ok, how about this one? --> dpkg -S /usr/bin/inform
[02:29] <Gateway> desero, such things happens thanks for that ;)
[02:29] <ice_stone> how long do you guys wait for PPA?
[02:29] <ice_stone> its been over 1 hour
[02:30] <desero> Gateway, no problem
[02:30] <onetinsoldier> alan_: if the infor binary is working ok, then i guess you really are all good. cheers

[02:31] <amy> i have a acer aspire 3680 and its not picking up the wierless internet ubuntu 9.10
[02:31] <onetinsoldier> alan_: cheers m8 ;-)
[02:31] <amy> help
[02:31] <Gateway> desero, it doesn't accept anything... here is what it returned
[02:31] <Gateway> The answer "default" is invalid. It must be one of "y" or "n".
[02:32] <desero> then type: y
[02:32] <mgrotte> anybody know how to restart a service after boot, I tried to add it in rc.local with no sucess
[02:32] <Gateway> after typing y or yes I have to give it the location :)
[02:32] <Gateway> after n or no
[02:32] <Gateway> the installation is aborted
[02:32] <alan_> onetinsoldier I would send a salute but I'm not sure how :)
[02:32] <NotTooSmart> media any ideas?
[02:32] <urlwallace> amy have you set your security to wap before scanning?
[02:32] <mgrotte> amy_ do you see any wireless networks available when clicking on the icon
[02:33] <amy> i have a acer aspire 3680 and its not picking up the wireless Internet ubuntu 9.10 anybody?
[02:33] <arooni_____> hi folks!  is there a i have ubuntu latest and i'm wondering; how can i make it so i dont have to click the ubuntu emptahy icon for each new message that exists.  i have to click the icon then scroll down to empahty (as oppoed to evolution) then click the person who sent me a message.  is there a way to make this easier?
[02:33] <desero> Gateway, hmm, what if you just hit enter when it askes for a location?
[02:33] <amy> in the network manager it says disconected
[02:33] <onetinsoldier> alan_: S!
[02:34] <mgrotte> amy does it say any available???

[02:35] <ice_stone> grr.. whats taking PPA forever?
[02:35] <amy> just installed ubuntu 9.10 works with windows
[02:35] <Gateway> desero, thank you I'm going to read it :)
[02:35] <mgrotte> amy try system>administration>Hardware Drivers to check for a driver, I am guessing that it does not have a driver for that wireless card
[02:35] <onetinsoldier> songer: sudo apt-get install libfaac0 ??
[02:36] <onetinsoldier> !libfaac0
[02:36] <mgrotte> amy_have you tried plugging it in with a cable and updating???

[02:38] <kh_> guys
[02:38] <kh_> how do I install Flash 9?
[02:38] <mgrotte> amy_ is ubuntu running inside windows xp or vista??
[02:38] <edbian> kh_, You want flash 9 and not flash 10?
[02:38] <amy> no on a diffrent partition dual boot
[02:38] <kh_> yea
[02:38] <kh_> Flash 9
[02:38] <kh_> Flash 10 has problems with webcam
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> 'flash has problems' :)
[02:39] <edbian> kh_, You're gonna have to get it from the website.  I suspect there is a .deb that you can install though.  Be weary.  Ubuntu likes to have 1 and only 1 instance of a flash player installed.  If you have more than 1 none of them work (or something else strange happens)
[02:39] <mgrotte> amy_ right click on network manager in task bar and make sure enable wireless is checked
[02:39] <amy> it is enabled
[02:39] <kh_> i installed it
[02:39] <Guest41377> fhehtu4u5
[02:40] <kh_> now firefox
[02:40] <kh_> has problems with it
[02:40] <kh_> it doesn't want to use it
[02:40] <FloodBot4> kh_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:40] <{chmod}755> kh_, Enter is not punctuation
[02:40] <ice_stone> hey how do you guys wait for PPA????
[02:40] <edbian> kh_, Make absolutely sure you don't have another flash player installed.  That's my only guess.
[02:41] <kh_> How do I get my webcam working? No I made sure to remove the other flash player
[02:41] <mgrotte> amy_I am out of ideas, i would google the wireless card model for ubuntu
[02:41] <EntityReborn> is there a way to disable caching for flash/removable drives?
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> ice_stone:  Huh?
[02:41] <ice_stone> Dr_Willis, you know PPA thing
[02:41] <desero> amy, go into a terminal for me and write lspci
[02:41] <desero> see if you can find a name for the card
[02:42] <ice_stone> Dr_Willis, i signed up that like 1.5 hour ago
[02:42] <desero> or just go
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> ice_stone:    you are waiting for some confirmation email?  (you are not being very clear)
[02:42] <ice_stone> Dr_Willis, it kept saying it couldn't find my gpg key
[02:42] <jimp> upgraded to 9.10, pretty much a newbie, now when restart it hangs on a blank screen, tried the other startups in grub none of them take me in to the sys
[02:42] <macman__> does anyone use elm the email client ?
[02:42] <MenZa> !anyone | macman__
[02:43] <macman__> MenZa do you use elm
[02:43] <ice_stone> Dr_Willis, i got the finger key
[02:43] <EntityReborn> Dr_Willis, is there a way to disable caching for flash/removable drives?
[02:43] <MenZa> macman__: No. Read what ubottu just said.

[02:43] <mgrotte> how do you restart a service on bootup?
[02:43] <kh_> What webcam program do you guys use?
[02:43] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, i'm still waiting on finger key progress
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> EntityReborn:  you could proberly mount them manually with some options..
[02:44] <shadmego> I do have a question for you Ubuntu experts if you have some time
[02:44] <hexflapsh> shoot
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> EntityReborn:  but still you should properly unmount the things
[02:44] <edbian> mgrotte, Why do you want to restart it?  Why not start it on boot up? or choose not to start it on boot up??
[02:44] <EntityReborn> blah
[02:44] <shadmego> First, let me say I hold a RHCT, so I'm not completely clueless in matters of Linux
[02:44] <kh_> how do you guys get your cams working through MSN?
[02:44] <EntityReborn> I was hoping for some switch or setting
[02:44] <shadmego> This past weekend, I gave a presentation on Linux and Ubuntu to about 60 people. Some of them have since tried to install Ubuntu in a dual boot environment
[02:45] <hexflapsh> Aight...
[02:45] <scunizi> yes?
[02:45] <mgrotte> how do you restart a service right after boot without user intervention??  server 9.10
[02:45] <shadmego> Grub has set the default OS to Ubuntu, but my clients want the default to be Windows Vista
[02:45] <shadmego> Everything is fine. I tell them how to edit the menu.lst file to make Windows the default
[02:45] <happy_> mgrotte: what do you mean restart it?
[02:45] <filloy> hello everyone!. I've been having problems with my external fat32 hdd. Some folders are now detected as "program", and the MIME Type is "application/octet-stream" instead of "inode/directory". I've tried sudo fsck.vfat -arv but nothing changes. Any help is appreciated.
[02:45] <desero> mgrott, you could use cron
[02:46] <happy_> mgrotte: why would you want to restart it on boot?
[02:46] <shadmego> They tell me this evening that the menu.lst file doesn't exist. When they try to open it in gedit, it is a blank file
[02:46] <scunizi> shadmego: editing grub you can place the window boot first.. however ubuntu uses grub2 which is different from editing menu.lst..
[02:46] <mgrotte> edbian_ i have installed adito ssl vpn and you cannot log into it after reboot unless you restart the service,  comes back invalid login
[02:46] <shadmego> this has me a bit stumped
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> mgrotte:  you could put the command in /etc/rc.local
[02:46] <shadmego> hmmm
[02:46] <scunizi> !grub2 | shadmego this will help..
[02:46] <desero> mgrotte: man cron :)
[02:46] <happy_> mgrotte: I would put the command to restart it in rc.local
[02:46] <shadmego> thanks ubottu. That is exactly what I was looking for
[02:46] <plcTowlie> hi everyone, i'm trying to backup my wifes ubuntu pc to update it, and the .gvfs directory is reporting it uses >60gb is this normal?
[02:46] <EntityReborn> ...
[02:47] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__,  if i get "gpgkeys: key 0CDE6466 not found on keyserver
[02:47] <ice_stone> gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found." does that means i do it wrong or they're still processing?
[02:47] <EntityReborn> lol
[02:47] <happy_> desero: not cron.
[02:47] <scunizi> shadmego: that was me.. ubottu is a bot :)
[02:47] <edbian> mgrotte, It is probably starting before the networking is my guess.  In any case.  You could write a script that first "sleep 10" and then restarts your service.  Place it in /etc/init.d/ make it executable and then link to it in rc2.d/
[02:47] <kh_> In aMSN I can see my webcam but the other person can't
[02:47] <desero> happy_: why not?
[02:47] <plcTowlie> i discovered it when i just drug the /home directory over to a network backup and it said so much files were going to be copied
[02:47] <shadmego> opps. When I say ubottu, I mean scunizi ....
[02:47] <mgrotte> I have tried the rc.local thing with no sucess,  I added the line "/etc/init.d/adito restart" and it did not work
[02:47] <happy_> desero: He only wants to restart it on boot. It would be annoying if it restarted while someone was using it
[02:48] <desero> happy_: he can do that
[02:48] <scunizi> shadmego: common error :) . no problem... how did you get 60 people together to do a presentation?
[02:48] <edbian> mgrotte, I think you just don't understand how it works.  All of the scripts are in /etc/init.d/
[02:48]  * olivetree voltei ;)
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> mgrotte:  perhaps do 'service whatever restart'
[02:48] <shadmego> It's a local computer user group.
[02:48] <edbian> mgrotte, Then you create links to them in rcX.d  so that they are run depending on what run level is entered
[02:48] <shadmego> We did presentation on Windows 7, Mac and Linux
[02:48] <Idad> hello.. can anyone help me with wireless driver reinstall problem... i got script error... "Exec format error"
[02:49] <scunizi> shadmego: through your work? or private endevour?
[02:49] <mgrotte> I will try it, be right back, I'm ssh'ed into the server
[02:49] <shadmego> Private endevour.
[02:49] <mediaprodigy> looking for an app like MZC OSX xFactor
[02:49] <scunizi> shadmego: nice.. keep it up!  no matter what distro linux needs more exposure
[02:50] <shadmego> thanks! I made 3 copies of Ubuntu and 3 of Kubuntu. All copies were gone before the end of the meeting ...
[02:51] <EntityReborn> lol
[02:51] <scunizi> shadmego: I've been using gnome for several years.. just started using Kubuntu and I find I am liking kde 4.3+ quite a bit
[02:51] <EntityReborn> UBUNTU MAKERS should distribute 1GB flashdrives of the live cd
[02:51] <shadmego> I spoke some about the ways in which Linux is better than Windows/Mac. I gave a bit of a run down on why kinds of things you can do with Linux, but mostly, I stressed the community and freedom you get with Linux
[02:51] <mgrotte> what is the difference between /etc/rc.local and /etc/init.d/rc.local
[02:51] <shadmego> I have Kubuntu installed on my desktop, but I don't get to  use it very much
[02:52] <scunizi> EntityReborn: you could do that too and charge for the cost of the flashdrive and labor
[02:52] <shadmego> etc/init.d/rc.local is used as the default for all users
[02:52] <shadmego> oh way
[02:52] <EntityReborn> true, but as an alternative to the CD request on the site
[02:52] <shadmego> I didn't finish reading your question
[02:53] <scunizi> EntityReborn: cd's are cheaper
[02:53] <EntityReborn> would be a slick thing to distribute flashdrives instead of CDs at meetings
[02:53] <dorkface> !repartitioning
[02:54] <shadmego> a bit more expensive though
[02:54] <EntityReborn> scunizi, 1GB drives aren't much more, but yes, you are right
[02:54] <scunizi> EntityReborn: you could do 2 gigers and include the windows installs for OOo, Pidgeon, Gimp, Scribus etc.. so there will be added value.. :)
[02:55] <scunizi> EntityReborn: might be worth $20 to those attending.
[02:55] <ymanton> having a problem with fast-user-switch-applet on karmic. i installed the pkg and it appears checked in system->preferences->startup applications but its not on the panel, and its not in the panel->add menu
[02:55] <pac1> I have an initramfs from sabayon on /boot.  update-grub says it found it, but it does  not get added to grub.cfg.  Is there some configuration needed to use initramfs along side initrd's?
[02:55] <EntityReborn> scunizi, true
[02:56] <shadmego> who asked the question about the difference between rc.local files?
[02:56] <EntityReborn> also, is there a way to get a bunch of live cd's side by side on one partition?
[02:56] <mediaprodigy> what is a good P2p App?
[02:57] <iflema> ymanton try adding the indicator applet session and select switch user to switch user
[02:57] <EntityReborn> mediaprodigy, torrents :P
[02:57] <mediaprodigy> EntityReborn: thans
[02:57] <mediaprodigy> EntityReborn: thanks
[02:57] <t1n0m3n> Is mapping a software/firmware raid array to /dev/mapper on install a new thing for 9.10 or did I miss it for 9.04?
[02:57] <kh_> Guys, anyone know how to get WebCam working with MSN so other people can see it not just me?
[02:57] <mediaprodigy> EntityReborn: what app do you use for torrents on Ubuntu?
[02:58] <F223> hey, can someone help me install ubuntu?
[02:58] <shadmego> mgrotte: the /etc/init.d/rc.local is a startup script that points to the /etc/rc.local file
[02:58] <apipkin> i'm new to linux, but decided it was finally time. i have ubuntu 9.10. is there a recommended ftp client?
[02:58] <mgrotte> does the terminal command java-version still work in 9.10,  I have java installed and working on my server but when I use java-version it comes back command not found.
[02:58] <{chmod}755> F223, What's up?
[02:58] <EntityReborn> mediaprodigy, I use the default, transmission, but there are tonnes out there
[02:58] <pac1> apipkin gftp works for me.
[02:58] <onetinsoldier> mediaprodigy: i like the bloated one... Vuze (formerly know as Azureus)
[02:58] <EntityReborn> mediaprodigy, ktorrent isn't so bad
[02:58] <EntityReborn> eww, vuse
[02:59] <shadmego> Well, I gotta go finish answering a couple of responses from new Ubuntu users.
[02:59] <shadmego> Thanks for the help!
[02:59] <apipkin> pac1: can you store the connect?

[02:59] <apipkin> connection*
[02:59] <jack5463> how do i register when  i see this message :Please register with services and use the IDENTIFY command (/msg nickserv help) to speak in this channel
[02:59] <pac1> apipkin, don't know.  never did that.
[02:59] <scunizi> !register | jack5463
[03:00] <pac1> apipkin, easy enough to try things out and remove them later if you decide you don't want them.
[03:00] <pac1> use apt-get install gftp
[03:00] <mediaprodigy> EntityReborn: not very familiar with Ubuntu yet.. will check out the default transmission
[03:00] <pac1> or synaptic
[03:00] <apipkin> true. i like learning from others experience sometimes ;)
[03:00] <apipkin> i'll give it a shot though. thanks pac1
[03:00] <pac1> apipkin, if you have a fast pipe that is.
[03:01] <desero> apipkin: what do you mean by storing the connection?
[03:01] <ymanton> iflema: thanks
[03:01] <pac1> if bandwith is not free you might want to take another approach.
[03:01] <apipkin> saving the user and pass so i dont have to type it in all the time
[03:01] <pac1> apipkin, check for a config file for gftp
[03:01] <apipkin> pac1: bandwidth is wide open :)
[03:01] <linux> Anyone heard of Dr. Web Live CD for windows antirvirus scanning?  Is it legit?
[03:02] <kentrel> Hi, I've got two monitors. For some reason I can't drag items from one monitor to the other. How do I fix this, or at least be able to send them over?
[03:02] <scunizi> linux: you can make your own with "rescuecd" or a persistant install of ubuntu live cd on a usb stick
[03:03] <pac1> apipkin, there are bookmarks in gftp
[03:03] <linux> scunizi: rescuecd - to fix a windows computer?
[03:03] <mediaprodigy> EntityReborn: kbuntu vs vuze?
[03:03] <bonelifer> Does WOL require a hard wired connection or will it work with the wireless connection.  The router is a WRT54GL with Tomato 1.27(I think that's the version) firmware. The card, I don't have the name of off hand since I just ordered it.
[03:03] <mediaprodigy> onetinsoldier: thanks
[03:03] <scunizi> linux: sure.. it's a live cd with lots of tools.. there are others out there too.. no need to pay for one.
[03:03] <t1n0m3n> kentrel: what video card are you using?
[03:03] <desero> apipkin: i think you can do this simply with nautilus
[03:04] <linux> scunizi: cool!  thanks for the tip
[03:04] <kentrel> Nvidia Geforce
[03:04] <Lars2011> if I have the mean round trip time of X milliseconds for reaching an httpd server, and I send a request of about 300 bytes, and get ~7 KB back, how would I use this information to estimate the total time needed for the request if I assume the page generation time on the server to be negligible? only an estimate is needed.
[03:04] <pac1> apipkin, that should do what you want.
[03:04] <desero> apipkin: at least you can store all the information except the password
[03:04] <desero> that I do know
[03:05] <t1n0m3n> kentrel: had you installed the restricted drivers?
[03:05] <Idad> hello.. can anyone help me with wireless driver reinstall problem... i got script error... "Exec format error"
[03:05] <apipkin> cool thanks. i may try doing it directly in nautilus as well
[03:05] <t1n0m3n> *have
[03:05] <desero> apipkin: never mind, just check, connected to the ftp on my computer and it can store the password and everything
[03:07] <kentrel> t1n0m3n, yeah. I used them to configure my system
[03:07] <kentrel> But I siwtched off Cinerama because it gave me problems on Ubuntu 8

[03:14] <EntityReborn> Is it possible to multiboot live CDs on a flash drive?
[03:14] <sile> well, that's the problem of reverse engineering I suppose
[03:15] <EntityReborn> Say, if I wanted to boot both Fedora and Ubuntu from one device
[03:15] <iflema> EntityRebourn yes... but not sure if its automated.... ya might have to get a little dirty
[03:15] <EntityReborn> hm
[03:15] <scunizi> EntityReborn: if it's big enough maybe.. perhaps manually configuring grub.. but you might not need to .. 4 gigs will get you 4 live installs ... hopefully
[03:15] <sile> going to sleep, good night/whatever dudes!
[03:15] <EntityReborn> scunizi, that's what I'm hoping
[03:16] <iflema> EntityRebourn grub2
[03:16] <EntityReborn> I was thinking, 4 seperate partitions, then grub it, but I haven't the slightest idea on how to pull that off
[03:16] <EntityReborn> I can probably load the partitions fine, using unetbootit
[03:16] <EntityReborn> *in
[03:16] <Necromancyr> ...what does it mean when xrandr tells you you can't do...well...anything...with a particular output
[03:17] <Necromancyr> Am I using it wrong or...CAN an output not be usable with xrandr.
[03:18] <scunizi> Necromancyr: it typically means that the resolution you need isn't yet registered with xrandr.. xrandr docs will tell you how to do that.
[03:18] <TASagent> Hey, is anyone available & willing to help me get my wireless card up and running on a new install on a Dell laptop?  I would really appreciate the help.
[03:19] <Necromancyr> Scun, I'm trying to do a reflect.  It's only one output that comes up as default...I'm assuming I can use xrandr --output default --reflect x.  I get an error saying rotate/reflect not usuable on output default (or something close to that)
[03:19] <ActionParsnip__> TASagent: run: sudo lshw -C network      websearch the product line for the wifi, i personally bet its some cheap broadcom thing
[03:19] <ActionParsnip__> TASagent: if it is then check this link:

[03:20] <javatexan> is there a way to programatically add items and remove them from the panel, I am on ubuntu 9.10 gnome
[03:20] <scunizi> Necromancyr: not sure about that.. but if you type xrandr in a terminal and the resolution you need isn't listed it won't work.. you'll need to add the resolution.
[03:20] <Necromancyr> Ok.  Let me run down and check that and see if that's the issue.
[03:22] <EntityReborn> scunizi, would you know any guides on how to do what I want?
[03:22] <Idad> hello.. can anyone help me with wireless driver reinstall problem... i got script error... "Exec format error"
[03:22] <ActionParsnip__> javatexan: i think if you create a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications then it will be added
[03:22] <EntityReborn> and if the seperate partitions was the way to go?
[03:23] <yeason> is there a file in which I can set global cflags? I think I need to enable one in order to compile something
[03:23] <ActionParsnip__> yeason: you could use ~/.bashrc
[03:23] <scunizi> EntityReborn: nope.. but what I would try is to partition the flash drive in 4 equal parts.. install the first distro in partition 1, the second in partition 2 then test boot and see if grub gives you the choice between the two.. if it works proceed with 3 & 4
[03:24] <javatexan> I am having sooooo much trouble with the notification area...I often have to remove it and then add it to the panel again.  I was hoping that I could write a quick script that would do it for me
[03:24] <scunizi> EntityReborn: remember that the last install will write and control grub
[03:24] <EntityReborn> scunizi, ok, will do, once Fedora finishes downloading
[03:25] <olvap> hi, i forget my freenode password
[03:25] <AlanF> sorry for going off topic here, but I'm trying to remember a movie I once saw long ago, all I can really recall is there being some sor tof temrinal and many shots of the clouds or so, like it was swtich back and forth betwen that and some sort of interior shot of what looked like a strange looking terminal of some kind, like people in lines going through some sort of doors or so, and there being some sort of metalic robot guy and I think there was somethi
[03:25] <ActionParsnip__> olvap: join #freenode
[03:25] <Necromancyr> Hrm....resolution is listed.
[03:25] <Necromancyr> Crap.
[03:25] <ActionParsnip__> !ot | AlanF
[03:25] <Necromancyr> (it has a star next to it, but it is listed)
[03:25] <yeason> ActionParsnip__: Doesn't .bashrc only affect the current user?
[03:26] <abumaia> I'm having trouble with my monitor.  My screensaver is turned off, power management is set to never turn the monitor off, and there are no BIOS settings regarding monitor power management.  However, my monitor is still turning off after 30 minutes idle.  Where else can I look for the setting causing this?
[03:26] <EntityReborn> brb
[03:26] <ksnp> i am trying to automatically delete email sent to root by some jobs, periodically, any suggestions ?
[03:26] <ActionParsnip__> yeason: yes as its stored in the home folder
[03:26] <yeason> ActionParsnip__: that's what I thought... isn't there a file in which it can be set globally?
[03:26] <jzxu> guys, why doesn't this command redirect where I expect it to?
[03:26] <ActionParsnip__> yeason: not that i know of
[03:27] <ActionParsnip__> yeason: could try asing in #C++
[03:27] <jzxu> for i in `seq 10`; do echo $i &>/tmp/arst; done
[03:27] <jzxu> it's printing all the numbers out onto console
[03:27] <jzxu> instead of putting them into /tmp/arst
[03:28] <Necromancyr> So...aside from resolution, anyone have any ideas for while xrandr would refuse to work?
[03:28] <abumaia> jzxu:  isn't it doing both?
[03:28] <Necromancyr> (no rotation, no reflect, etc.)
[03:28] <noladesi> hello
[03:28] <jzxu> abumaia: no
[03:28] <Necromancyr> One monitor setup through a nvidia 6600.
[03:28] <jzxu> abumaia: also, why would you expect it to do both?
[03:28] <Freeaqingme> Hi. Every time I reboot my server (not planning on doing that a lot, but still...) I need execute `/etc/init.d/networking restart` before the networking works. Any idea how come, and how to fix?
[03:29] <Zeonisis> How can I enable transparent windows in GNOME?
[03:29] <ActionParsnip__> Necromancyr: have you installed the nvidia-glx-185 driver?
[03:29] <abumaia> jzxu: when I've had to echo to another file, it printed to console, but also did redirect to the other file
[03:29] <cdi> can anyone recommend a way to encode subtitles to avi I'd like to be able to do it through terminal as well
[03:29] <Flipz> I'm having internet issues, is there anyone who can personally contact  me? I've been told to install ndwiswrapper or something
[03:29] <jzxu> abumaia: this isn't the behavior I see by default on other linuxes
[03:29] <Necromancyr> ActionPArsnio__: Sorry, kind of a newb.  I clicked on the icon to install the proprietary driver....yes.  I think that was the latest one.
[03:29] <jzxu> is there some strange default setting ubuntu has for bash?
[03:30] <noladesi> Is there a reason why it won't let me partition my HD via the windows partitioner. The HD has nothing on it.
[03:30] <Necromancyr> I got it to work on my laptop, figured it would definitely work on this other PC.  Now it's not. :/
[03:30] <ActionParsnip__> Flipz: run: sudo lshw -C network    websearch for the product line for the wifi for guides. You can check it works already using: sudo iwlist scan
[03:30] <Flipz> Wha?
[03:30] <Flipz> I'm new to ubuntu
[03:30] <ActionParsnip__> Flipz: they are terminal commands
[03:31] <EntityReborn> :/
[03:31] <Flipz> okay
[03:31] <Flipz> gimmie a sec
[03:31] <EntityReborn> Well, Unetbootin messes with the images
[03:31] <ouyes> Flipz,  applications>accessories>terminal
[03:31] <Flipz> gimmie a sec
[03:31] <EntityReborn> uses its own bootloader
[03:32] <ouyes> Flipz, any luck?
[03:32] <Necromancyr> ActionParsnip, that was what you meant right?
[03:32] <abumaia> I'm having trouble with my monitor.  My screensaver is turned off, power management is set to never turn the monitor off, and there are no BIOS settings regarding monitor power management.  However, my monitor is still turning off after 30 minutes idle.  Where else can I look for the setting causing this?
[03:33] <ActionParsnip__> abumaia: i set mine in xorg.conf
[03:33] <ActionParsnip__> abumaia: http://www.randombugs.com/linux/disable-monitor-standby-xorg-xserver.html
[03:33] <javatexan> lol...I can't find anything in google or the forums...I guess it must not exist ;)
[03:34] <ouyes> abumaia, reset the screensaver and unclick the idle
[03:34] <abumaia> ActionParsnip__: thanks
[03:34] <javatexan> I found how to unset all of them...;)
[03:35] <TASkmaster> Sweet, it worked.  Thank's guys!
[03:35] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__,  i finally got key regisited
[03:36] <abumaia> ActionParsnip:  dpms for my monitor is already set at standby:0 suspend:0 off:0
[03:36] <abumaia> that doesn't seem to be it
[03:36] <abumaia> ouyes:  how do you mean "reset the screensaver"?
[03:36] <TASagent> Whoops. I doubly logged in.  I meant to say thanks over here.
[03:36] <hexed> abumaia; did you try going through the menus from the buttons on your monitor to see if there is any power saving options in there?
[03:36] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, where do i find PPA?
[03:36] <TASagent> Wireless is up and running, no problems now.
[03:36] <abumaia> hexed: it's a laptop
[03:37] <hexed> abumaia; ah nm then lol
[03:37] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa
[03:37] <ActionParsnip__> TASagent: cool
[03:37] <Freeaqingme> Hi. Every time I reboot my server (not planning on doing that a lot, but still...) I need execute `/etc/init.d/networking restart` before the networking works. Any idea how come, and how to fix?
[03:38] <ouyes> abumaia,  you have used the idle option, when the computer is idle, the screensaver will be active
[03:38] <scunizi> Freeaqingme: you might ask in #ubuntu-server as well
[03:38] <Freeaqingme> hmm, tnx
[03:38] <ouyes> Flipz,  any luck , any process
[03:39] <abumaia> ouyes: the activate screensaver when computer is idle option is unchecked
[03:39] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, i'm on 64bit utunbu so does it matter what one i am getting?
[03:39] <ouyes> Flipz,  any advance
[03:39] <Flipz> UHM
[03:39] <abumaia> ouyes: plus, the idle timeout for screensaver is 2 hours, so I'm relatively certain it's not the screensaver
[03:39] <mgrotte1> How do you browse your network with nautilus?  I can see the workgroup name but I keep getting unable to mount when I try to browse the workgroup.  If you enter the share manually with smb://ip it works fine.
[03:39] <Flipz> Errr not rly
[03:39] <ksnp> i am trying to automatically delete email sent to root by some jobs, periodically, any suggestions ?
[03:40] <ouyes> abumaia,  and put display to sleep unchecked?
[03:40] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: the arch will be managed, just install the 195 driver
[03:40] <AsoSako> _mgrotte1 usually different computers on ur workgrouop are identified and you enter them individually
[03:40] <abumaia> ouyes: put display to sleep options in both ac and battery sections set to Never
[03:41] <moreia> I had an improved clock and calendar on my Karmic gnome panel. It had a weather widget attached to it and I could set a couple of locations. I deleted it somehow (I know how. I clicked "remove this panel." But I didn't mean to.) and now I can't figure out how to get it back. It isn't among the options when I select "add." It was a recent addition, though i can't remember if I got it via Karmic or Gnome DO.
[03:41] <moreia> I'm hoping that this is simple. I can't figure out how to search the forums for it.
[03:42] <mgrotte1> AsoSako_ it seems pointless to put a network tab in nautilus if it does not work.  This feature used to work in older versions like 8
[03:43] <ActionParsnip__> mgrotte1: in te address bar type: smb://servername   to access the shares on servername
[03:43] <abumaia> I think I've found all the obvious settings for keeping the monitor on, so I'm wondering if there are any other less obvious options I need to use
[03:43] <ouyes> abumaia,  what is the situation you are encountering, a few minuets the screen took off ?
[03:44] <abumaia> ouyes: it seems to be after 30 minutes idle, the screen turns off
[03:44] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, i get Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: nvidia-195-kernel-source (>= 195.30)
[03:44] <ice_stone> ??
[03:44] <ouyes> abumaia,  tell  me your pc 's type and module
[03:44] <petsounds> moreia, do you want to reset your panels to default?
[03:45] <scunizi> ice_stone: do you have that binary driver installed?
[03:45] <abumaia> ouyes: dell inspiron laptop, not sure what you mean by module
[03:45] <ice_stone> scunizi, not sure
[03:45] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: looks like you'll need to find the source somewhere, i'd imagined it'd be on the ppa
[03:45] <mgrotte1> why does the network option not let you browse network pc's anymore.  It worked in 9.04 until nautilus had a update that broke this feature and has not worked since.  Seem pointless if I have to remember all my network machines name and use smb://name to access files.
[03:45] <ouyes> abumaia, for example acer 5520g (5520g
[03:45] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: have you websearched the error?
[03:45] <scunizi> ice_stone: you would know.. you'd have to download it from nvidia and manually install it.
[03:46] <abumaia> ouyes: no separate monitor, it's a laptop
[03:46] <scunizi> ice_stone: if you installed the driver supplied by ubuntu that I believe is version 185.xx
[03:47] <ice_stone> scunizi, i but i am trying to get my 1024x768 at least 100hz it support up to 120hz
[03:47] <ouyes> abumaia,  i know make sure the bios has a proper power settings
[03:47] <ice_stone> scunizi, thats what resolution is supported at by my crt monitor
[03:47] <abumaia> ouyes: yes, I've checked bios, there are no monitor power management settings
[03:48] <ouyes> abumaia, which version of ubuntu are you using?
[03:48] <abumaia> 9.10
[03:48] <scunizi> ice_stone: so the resolution is ok.. it's just the refresh rate you're trying to improve?
[03:48] <ice_stone> scunizi, exactly
[03:48] <ouyes> abumaia,  what is the bios type of your lap Phonex?
[03:49] <ice_stone> scunizi, i have been trying to force 120hz but looks like Ubuntu won't let me
[03:49] <guang> h
[03:49] <scunizi> ice_stone: is there a specific reason other than "I want it too"?
[03:49] <ouyes> abumaia,  your bios type?
[03:50] <abumaia> ouyes: checking, just a minute
[03:50] <ice_stone> scunizi, I live on 120hz for gaming
[03:50] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: sudo apt-get install nvidia-195-kernel-source
[03:51] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: also: sudo apt-get install libvdpau-dev
[03:51] <scunizi> ice_stone: then you might need to install the binary driver from nvidia to bring it up to current beta level.. you'll have to do some reading though on nvidia's site to see if that will happen with that driver and your specific card.. perhaps your card won't support it?
[03:51] <ice_stone> scunizi, oh my card support that
[03:52] <scunizi> ice_stone: then look into the latest driver..
[03:52] <mr_frostee> .
[03:53] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: maybe its supported under windows but not linux
[03:53] <ouyes> abumaia, Award BIOS,PHOENIX or what? i am quite sure about one thing ,in  the bios settings, there is always power management option excepet the OEM special bios,careless
[03:54] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, if i can get it to work at 1152x864 with 100hz why can't i get 100hz on 1024x768?
[03:54] <scunizi> ice_stone: it may also be an xrandr setting you need to change
[03:54] <abumaia> ouyes:  I'm not sure exactly which BIOS it is, however there is a power management section in the BIOS, however it only regulates Wake From USB
[03:55] <ice_stone> scunizi, xrandr setting, oh yes please.. can you help me with this one?
[03:55] <ouyes> ouyes, there are few bugs reported involving monitor issues,
[03:55] <scunizi> ice_stone: not much.. every time I need to change something I have to google for the answer.. it's still a foreign service to me.
[03:55] <jiohdi> abumaia: BIOS is a program built into a chip that controls how your computer will boot up
[03:55] <ouyes> abumaia,  there are few bugs reported involving monitor issues,
[03:55] <abumaia> jiohdi: yes, I know ^_^
[03:56] <ice_stone> scunizi, i have been googling all day
[03:56] <tpocra> Anyone know how to use software RAID mdadm to turn a hot spare into an active part of the array?
[03:56] <abumaia> ouyes: ok, I'll have a look around the bug reports then, see if I have the same issues.  Thanks ^_^
[03:56] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: then use the 1152x864
[03:56] <ice_stone> scunizi, i wish there is simple command to add 120hz to my 1024x768 resolution...
[03:56] <Necromancyr> ...Interesting.  I got xrandr to work for rotating with the Nvidia drivers but it doesn't work with reflect.  Which is what I need.
[03:57] <ice_stone> 1152x864 too slow
[03:57] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, i want 125fps with 120hz or 100hz and its smooth like silk..
[03:57] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: i'd suggest getting the 195 driver sorted, you may need to find a deb for the driver source which seems missing
[03:57] <ouyes> abumaia,  give the bios screen a careful look you will find the bios type, and check again your lap have proper power management settings
[03:57] <Necromancyr> Anyone know if theres a way to just use stock drivers with a video card - nothing propietary - so the card just works like a VGA card and always works with the reflect option for xrandr?
[03:58] <scunizi> ice_stone: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=121408  and http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=125698  might help.. my first google attempt
[03:58] <ouyes> abumaia,  i do not think this is a bug
[03:58] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: your brain can't process above about 40, its not fast enough
[03:58] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, i need 125 fps for quakelive.com
[03:58] <ouyes> abumaia,  it is your bug, most likely your carelessness
[03:58] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: you really wont notice it'
[03:58] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, quakelive.com support linux now and i really want to be playing it
[03:58] <tundrayeti311> any openGL experts, or can point me to channel?
[03:59] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, I am professial gamer
[03:59] <JohninLex> I have a 32 inch screen is there a way I can divide it into 4 eight screens, the reason is that everything blurry, does anyone know what I am talking about?
[03:59] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, i can tell big different between 85hz and 120hz
[03:59] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: your brain isnt chemically fast enough to process that level of image cahnge
[03:59] <ouyes> abumaia,  check again, both the screensaver and the power management settings
[03:59] <ouyes> abumaia,  and the bios settings
[04:00] <EntityReborn> Trying to install grub2 onto my usb drive, to boot ISOs, but using grub-install --root-directory=/media/Multi/ /dev/sdb I get grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1.  Check your device.map.
[04:00] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, its not about brain, its about combo of mouse spin and fps/hz all mixed
[04:00] <ouyes> abumaia,  do tell me how things are going ,ok?
[04:01] <JohninLex> EntityReborn, have you tried unetbootin?
[04:01] <Necromancyr> Crap...no one on the reflect issue?  Damn this sucks.
[04:01] <abumaia> ouyes: I have been checking and rechecking the screensaver and power management settings multiple times already.  That is why I came here to ask about it.  According to the settings as they are now, the screen should stay on indefinitely, but it is still being turned off after 30 minutes idle.
[04:01] <EntityReborn> JohninLex, my ultimate end would be multibooting various ISOs/LiveCDs from my flash, but yes, I have tried unetbootin.
[04:01] <scunizi> Necromancyr: you might ask in ##linux
[04:02] <ouyes> abumaia,  by the way, when you encountered this issue, what task you were doing?
[04:02] <Necromancyr> I shall.  Was using Ubuntu so figured this place would be better :/
[04:02] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: well you'll be struggling and banging your head til you get it nice, or you can use your system and get on with life. i cant recomend anything else except the 195 driver.personally i think you are  wasting your time
[04:02] <abumaia> ouyes: I was doing nothing, the computer was idle when the screen turned off
[04:02] <Necromancyr> ...that and I can't seem to get INTO that damn channel.
[04:02] <JohninLex> ok I know how to get one to boot not 2 on a jumpdrive sorry
[04:02] <abumaia> ouyes: against its settings
[04:03] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, well i can always dual boot to xp just to play quakelive and then dual back into here to surf and watch movies and everything else... i hate dual booting :(
[04:03] <scunizi> Necromancyr: normally you'd be right but when unusual questions result in no answer I go there.. should be able to /join ##linux to get in
[04:03] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, the VLC player is so much in linux for me
[04:03] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, *better
[04:03] <Necromancyr> Might just be slow (using chatzilla)...ton of people so...guessing it's loading all the names.
[04:03] <jiohdi> Necromancyr: do you have a nick registered with nickserv?
[04:04] <Necromancyr> Yup.
[04:04] <DiegoYes> Oi. : >
[04:04] <scunizi> Necromancyr: irssi
[04:04] <Necromancyr> Ack.  Nope...just forwards me to overvloew
[04:04] <Necromancyr> overflow even.
[04:04] <jiohdi> Necromancyr: I just tried got right in
[04:04] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: vlc only uses one core if your cpu is dual core
[04:04] <JohninLex> I have a 32 inch screen is there a way I can divide it into 4 eight screens, the reason is that everything blurry, does anyone know what I am talking about?
[04:04] <Necromancyr> Grrr....
[04:04] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: or multi-core
[04:04] <ravic> Hi, I am running ubuntu on my mac book 5.3. Sound was working fine till last night dont know what happened  all of sudden. No sound now. Followed this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-3/Karmic
[04:05] <ouyes> abumaia, it is strange , there maybe three causes for this issue, 1 bios setting( though small possibility since you checked again and again)2 some software affected the power management function 3 bugs(very small possibility)
[04:05] <ravic> No luck either. Any suggestions?
[04:05] <ravic> please
[04:05] <Goilio> Hi, is their any way I can use my spare laptop as a third screen for my current setup?
[04:05] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: mplayer can use multiple cores /  cpus if you install the better compiled one or compile it yourself for multiple threads
[04:05] <ActionParsnip__> Goilio: can use vnc I guess
[04:05] <JohninLex> ravic, , sudo apt-get remove ubuntu | sudo apt-get install Debian
[04:06] <Goilio> ActionParsnip__: That would still give me one of my two screens not a third
[04:06] <happy_> JohninLex: I am getting an error. Upgrading is not allowed.
[04:06] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, that sounds nice. I guess i stuck to xp for quakelive.com and stuck movies on linux os
[04:06] <bastid_raZor> JohninLex: you can not pipe apt-get in that way
[04:06] <ouyes> abumaia,  is this  quite  a big issue for you in you daily use of your lap?
[04:06] <abumaia> ouyes: I agree.  I have checked the obvious settings, so I was asking if there are less obvious settings somewhere.  Would Wine take over display controls?
[04:07] <Necromancyr> Grrr...
[04:07] <ActionParsnip__> ice_stone: quake live runs fine on my 75hz 1280x1024 screen, try it, you'll find it ok
[04:07] <Necromancyr> Stupid nickserv
[04:07] <JohninLex> happy_, have you tried doing it in an terminal
[04:07] <ravic> JohninLex: what exactly u mean?
[04:07] <abumaia> ouyes: no, not a big issue.  Just a matter of my computer not acting the way I tell it to work.
[04:07] <TommyB> anyone in here care to lend a hand?
[04:07] <happy_> JohninLex: huh? I am talking about when I typed in your command to upgrade to debian :-P
[04:07] <arvind_khadri> !ask  | TommyB
[04:07] <ActionParsnip__> Goilio: i think theres a vnc app where as you move the cursor off one system, it arrives on the desktop of another. let me see if i can find the name, chris prillo reviewed it
[04:08] <JohninLex> ravic,  it was a good joke against Ubuntu, I wanted to get some heat from it but that never happed lol
[04:08] <ice_stone> ActionParsnip__, 75hz ... bah, i'll wait till i get 120hz LCD gaming monitor then I'll be sold
[04:08] <TommyB> typing on my phone because I can't come in here on a proxy, sry if I'm slow :P
[04:08] <Goilio> ActionParsnip__: its called synergy
[04:08] <happy_> JohninLex: I supported you :-P
[04:08] <ice_stone> OK i gotta GO
[04:08] <abumaia> ouyes: there's a discrepancy between settings and actions.  It's a little problem that I personally would like to fix, though it's not a major issue.
[04:09] <JohninLex> sorry happy_  I missed that
[04:09] <ouyes> abumaia,  ok then we can stop here, good luck.
[04:09] <happy_> JohninLex: right after you said that I said
[04:09] <ActionParsnip__> Goilio: http://chris.pirillo.com/how-to-access-your-computer-remotely-with-a-vnc-kvm/
[04:09] <abumaia> ouyes: thanks for trying ^_^
[04:09] <happy_> JohninLex: I am getting an error. Upgrading is not allowed.
[04:09] <Yashy> I have onboard Nvidia drivers working fine. I add a PCIe ATI card, and the onboard device seems to disappear from lspci/lshw/dmesg?
[04:09] <TommyB> grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 gives error 15, file not found
[04:09] <TommyB> how can I install grub
[04:10] <JohninLex> I really thought you had a problem, but I can help you install Debian if you like
[04:10] <ActionParsnip__> Yashy: make sure the onboard video supports having dual displays, some dont like it, or the extra card will need to be set as primary
[04:10] <oj_> hi, i have a prolink wn2000 usb wireless adapter, does anyone know how to make it work in ubuntu?
[04:10] <ActionParsnip__> !grub | TommyB
[04:10] <DiegoYes> OJ da Juice man.
[04:10] <JohninLex> it is a little better than Ubuntu ( at least in my view )
[04:10] <happy_> JohninLex: I use debian for servers
[04:10] <TommyB> ubottu, I'm on 9.10
[04:11] <ActionParsnip__> JohninLex: yeah ive started leaning towards it myself
[04:11] <TommyB> wow, really wish this channel allowed proxied users
[04:11] <ouyes> abumaia, we have to leave the issue for now
[04:11] <arvind_khadri> !grub2 > TommyB
[04:11] <TommyB> can't keep up on a 3.2" hvga screen
[04:11] <JohninLex> my problem is that I am not going to know what is going not to work from update to update
[04:12] <wolter> hi, I keep reformatting my USB flash drive but I still get this files installed in it, I don't know how they get there..
[04:12] <wolter> its like its partitioned or something, but I cannot delete the internal partition
[04:13] <mobidroid> Hi, is there any way to have two monitor using nvidia xinerama and be able to play opengl game with a working mouse?
[04:13] <ActionParsnip__> wolter: you can use dd to write zeroes to the partition
[04:13] <JohninLex> wolter, are you using gparted?
[04:13] <mobidroid> my mouse location is always screwed :( sniff sniff
[04:13] <Virtual> Is ubuntu installed with wubi any different than if I install it myself from a dvd?\
[04:13] <JohninLex> yes Virtual  it is
[04:14] <Virtual> JohninLex, how so ?
[04:14] <JohninLex> with wubi it installs inside of windows, and adds a MBR to the boot
[04:14] <wolter> JohninLex, yes; ActionParsnip__ can you explain further?
[04:14] <Virtual> JohninLex, i know that, i mean any different inside the os?
[04:15] <troopperi> wolter: have you unmounted it before try format?
[04:15] <mobidroid> anyone here is using dual monitor and a fixed the mouse issue in xinerama?
[04:15] <JohninLex> as far of the OS no there the same Virtual
[04:15] <wolter> troopperi, of course, without unmounting I cannot format it, not with gparted
[04:15] <ActionParsnip__> wolter: assuming the partition is /dev/sdc1 (your may be different so check): sudo umount /dev/sdc1; sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc1
[04:16] <ActionParsnip__> wolter: this will write zeroes to the whole partition
[04:16] <wolter> ActionParsnip__, and erase the whole thing consequently?
[04:16] <BlueSherpa> anyone know how to bond ethernet adapters in Ubuntu 9.10?
[04:16] <BlueSherpa> I tried this tutorial, but no luck:  http://www.howtoforge.com/nic-bonding-on-debian-lenny
[04:17] <wolter> ActionParsnip__, hm, that made it blink a few times
[04:17] <JohninLex> later
[04:17] <BlueSherpa> I tried the script from this tutorial... it seems to get it working, but only on 100Mb http://www.linuxhorizon.ro/bonding.html
[04:17] <ActionParsnip__> wolter: yes as the data on the partition will be zeroed out
[04:17] <chalcedony> ActionParsnip__, i got an error in firefox, after shutting down and rebooting -ubuntu 9.04 .."Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with your application's file directory..."
[04:18] <TommyB> I hate linux
[04:18] <wolter> TommyB, maybe you don't know it that welll.. What's your problem?
[04:18] <chalcedony> TommyB, there are days to hate chocolate
[04:18] <LinuX2half> How do I check my current system requirements if I'm planning to install an operating system?
[04:18] <mobidroid> TommyB: yup i'm getting there... I try but each time it's the same war to find info...
[04:19] <TommyB> lol
[04:19] <chalcedony> how can i see how much disc space is being used?
[04:19] <lifeeth-mobile> :)
[04:19] <sebsebseb> uh what happended about 1780 people again
[04:19] <Yashy> Is it possible to use a new ATI driver for my onboard ATI video card, and the old radeon driver for a PCIe ATI legacy card for dual head?
[04:19] <TommyB> dude I resized and moved a partition and now grub won't load
[04:19] <TommyB> and I can't install it
[04:19] <TommyB> it boots to a grub> terminal
[04:20] <mobidroid> Ok let me ask a smarty way my question how is managed the mouse axis in openGL can I make a X offset so in open GL the mouse is to not have always the same X coord
[04:20] <chalcedony> TommyB, you did a backup before hand?
[04:20] <wolter> ActionParsnip__, now it says there is no more space left on the device
[04:20] <wolter> Should I Control+C ?
[04:20] <TommyB> chalcedony, backup? lol onto what?
[04:20] <mobidroid> assuming that: Screen  "screen1" RightOf "screen0" and mouse pointer is assigned
[04:20] <TommyB> not everyone has $ for an external hdd, I'm broke
[04:21] <ActionParsnip__> wolter: thats fine, its hit the end of the destination device
[04:21] <mobidroid> TommyB: thats the price of linux TIMESSSSSSSSSSS
[04:21] <chalcedony> might have cost you more than you want to spend, TommyB
[04:21] <wolter> Ok, so Control+C?
[04:21] <mobidroid> :P
[04:21] <ActionParsnip__> wolter: sounds fine to me
[04:21] <wolter> ah.. it exited on its own now that I check
[04:21] <TommyB> I have win7 and ubuntu, both still installed
[04:21] <TommyB> can't boot from either
[04:21] <obliv|on> Does anyone in here know about turnkey linux?
[04:21] <ActionParsnip__> wolter: remount the partition, ten check
[04:22] <ActionParsnip__> !ot | obliv|on
[04:22] <wolter> ActionParsnip__, well.. the odd partition is still alive
[04:22] <wolter> and the other one just does not appear, I guess because it has no format
[04:22] <snoopy_> hmm can some one help me
[04:22] <obliv|on> turnkey is based on ubuntu so how is that offtopic?
[04:22] <sebsebseb> !ask | snoopy_
[04:22] <wolter> ActionParsnip__, maybe I should do it to sdb and not to sdb1 ?
[04:22] <ActionParsnip__> obliv|on: its not an official release by canonical so is not supported here
[04:22] <mobidroid> snoppy_: switch your fonts to black, mine are white no one can read me...
[04:22] <johntramp> hi i am trying to run the arduino ide and am getting this error. java/lang/ClassNotFoundException: error in opening JAR file /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rt.jar
[04:23] <johntramp> it was working fine not long ago
[04:23] <ActionParsnip__> obliv|on: many Linux releases are based on ubuntu and are equally not supported here
[04:23] <snoopy_> well i really dont know what it is, its a little ram thingy i think and hu idk how to put it :|
[04:23] <mobidroid> at least a little : we have no idea go elswhere would have been appreciated ;)
[04:23] <ActionParsnip__> wolter: try it dude
[04:23] <wolter> TommyB, have you tried installing grub through grub-install from a live CD ?
[04:23] <mobidroid> snoppy_: good we have a first keyword memory
[04:23] <iflema> TommyB did you drop a new partition in front of the resize? reinstalling grub from a live cd will 4 sure get back windows. or the windows install disc is capable of that also.
[04:24] <snoopy_> its PC3200U-30330
[04:24] <mobidroid> snoopy_: its a hardware issue?
[04:25] <mobidroid> bah no one can say i didnt try to help him...
[04:25] <johntramp> just didnt try hard enough?
[04:25] <mobidroid> Ok so dual monitoring is behond #unbuntu experience i'm right?
[04:26] <scunizi> mobidroid: nope.. check out xrandr.. it's what controls that..
[04:26] <mobidroid> monitoring has "the lcd stuff that allow to read my unreadable questions@
[04:26] <ActionParsnip__> mobidroid: not at all, many users dual monitor happily
[04:26] <mobidroid> thx for the keyword ill google it
[04:26] <mobidroid> ActionParsnip_ : well dual monitoring work just fine but in full screen 3d the mouse is stock on the X axis
[04:28] <mobidroid> bahhhhhhh ill just put it back to the useless twinview... this is a bit turn off :(
[04:29] <ActionParsnip__> mobidroid: log a bug
[04:29] <mobidroid> i saw a mouse offset in the config but just dont get why this offset is screwed in fullscreen open gl games
[04:29] <BlueSherpa> anyone know how to bond nics in Ubuntu?
[04:29] <mobidroid> actionparsnip_ : what the url to log a bug again?
[04:29] <wolter> BlueSherpa, bond nics?
[04:29] <ActionParsnip__> !bug
[04:29] <mobidroid> gracias
[04:30] <BlueSherpa> wolter: where you can bond two network cards

[04:30] <clocker> Pidgin not connecting?  It did when I first installed it and now nada... Any idea how to get it working?
[04:31] <wolter> oh..
[04:31] <mobidroid> my dilema is this a nvidia bug or unbuntu bug?!
[04:32] <ActionParsnip__> clocker: try renaming ~/.purple then reset it up
[04:32] <ActionParsnip__> mobidroid: i'd say ubuntu due to the mouse locking
[04:32] <clocker> thanks... I'll give that a go

[04:41] <Tamnakz> For hardware drivers: I don't have iternet at home. Can I download all of the possible drivers, and activate them independantly? Or do they not save when I activate another?
[04:41] <mobidroid> like the cltr-c in console

[04:47] <BlueSherpa> anyone know how to bind Nics in Ubuntu?
[04:48] <petsounds> !ipod > drbe4t
[04:49] <iflema> Tamnakz there will probably be dependencies... that is ya drivers may be dependant on something that also need to be downloaded from the net.
[04:50] <clocker> !ipod
[04:50] <Tamnakz> iflema: right, but the only way to dowload them is to go to hardware drivers, select 'activate' and it downloads. . . if I activate one, then the other, to download them all, will I be able to re-activate them once I have no web?
[04:50] <drbe4t> oh no ubotto i just need it for a ipod video
[04:51] <iflema> Tamnakz argh....... dont quote me.... yes
[04:51] <iflema> Tamnakz not positive

[04:53] <Tamnakz> * so it's more clear, was that alert legit?
[04:53] <Tamnakz> thanks
[04:53] <Jeruvy> don't it's bogus
[04:53] <Tamnakz> no offense, someone other than ionine_
[04:53] <Tamnakz> two out of three takes it?
[04:53] <Tamnakz> is it legit? or not?
[04:53] <Gh0st_Note-> Hello, hello!
[04:53] <Jeruvy> !ops | ionine_
[04:53] <notionine_> yeah its legit
[04:54] <Tamnakz> jeruvy wtf? I've never seen a bot on irc

[04:54] <Jeruvy> Tamnakz: just ignore it
[04:54] <Tamnakz> ionine_ if you've got something to say say it here
[04:54] <ionine_> jeruvy is offended by my message
[04:55] <Gh0st_Note-> Just started using Ubuntu. I freakin' love it.
[04:55] <{chmod}755> Tamnakz, then welcome to Freenode. Almost all linux/distro channels have their own bot.
[04:55] <scunizi> Tamnakz: we have a very friendly bot in this channel.. :)
[04:55] <Jeruvy> thanks tsimpson
[04:55] <{chmod}755> lol, he always screams at me
[04:55] <mediaprodigy> ktorrent is great. but is there a plain p2p app for just music?
[04:55] <{chmod}755> !hi | {chmod}755
[04:56] <Tamnakz> haha, I was talking about ionine_ but wtf
[04:56] <{chmod}755> See? he doesn't even say hi
[04:56] <F223> hey, I just installed Ubuntu, what're some cool things I can do off the bat?
[04:56] <Gh0st_Note-> Get Compiz Fusion immeditely.
[04:56] <Gh0st_Note-> Go, now!
[04:56] <F223> yeah, I got that :)
[04:56] <{chmod}755> Gh0st_Note-, fail
[04:56] <Gh0st_Note-> Haha
[04:56] <Tamnakz> f223 instead of alt+tab to shift windows, hit the 'windows sign'+tab
[04:56] <scunizi> F223: rip dvd's, start a web server, play with the special effects
[04:56] <Tamnakz> :D
[04:56] <{chmod}755> Compiz is resource heavy and can make a computer freeze so fast it's not even funny
[04:56] <Gh0st_Note-> No, not fail
[04:56] <F223> oh cool
[04:56] <Gh0st_Note-> Working fine for me
[04:57] <F223> I've got grood hardware, if it fails, though, I'll stop using it
[04:57] <Gh0st_Note-> Got the "sphere" going and all.
[04:57] <{chmod}755> Gh0st_Note-, just because it works for you doesn't mean it works for the rest of us.
[04:57] <drbe4t> hey i can't get gtkpod to upload my ipod video
[04:57] <drbe4t> any help
[04:57] <Gh0st_Note-> Well, just because it doesn't work for you doesnt mean it wont work for others either.
[04:57] <{chmod}755> !help | drbe4t
[04:57] <Gh0st_Note-> Goes both ways buddy.
[04:58] <{chmod}755> Gh0st_Note-, It does work for me, actually.
[04:58] <Gh0st_Note-> *facepalm*
[04:58] <{chmod}755> Yeah, get used to that.
[04:58] <mediaprodigy> what is the best ubuntu p2p app for downloading music?
[04:58] <Gh0st_Note-> Then was is the big deal? It's a neat app for who it does work for, and for those who care about personalization, it's nice.
[04:59] <{chmod}755> mediaprodigy, pirating music isn't an appropriate topic for this channel.
[04:59] <{chmod}755> Gh0st_Note-, I'm just razzin' ya. Compiz is ok. Just resource heavy
[04:59] <glick> excuse me, where does telepathy store IM conversations?
[04:59] <bastid_raZor> !frostwire | mediaprodigy
[05:00] <Gh0st_Note-> Anyways, chmod, do you think it crashes due to a user having bad hardware, or because of badly written code? I'm asking a legit question, I'd like to know
[05:00] <Homicidal> http://linuxhaters.blogspot.com/2008/06/evolution-of-ubuntu-user.html
[05:00] <Gh0st_Note-> My hardware is superb, but, to be honest I have heard of odd things happening with compiz. Just hasn't happened with me
[05:00] <Gh0st_Note-> Yet atleast
[05:01] <glick> anyone know?
[05:01] <Real_Ubot> I can't switch wordspace if I have closed a window just before trying to change workspace using my keyboard. I have to first click on the Desktop. This problem occured after I installed
[05:01] <Real_Ubot> Conky. What is happening?
[05:01] <{chmod}755> Gh0st_Note-, primarily because of bad hardware.
[05:01] <Jeruvy> Gh0st_Note-: generally it's more that compiz is very resource heavy and can conflict with other apps.  Marginal hardware can also flake out due to it.
[05:01] <Gh0st_Note-> Chmod, based on what i've heard, it runs great on a lot of hardware, I mean, Aero on vista requires more yet it is nowhere near as attractice or customizable?
[05:02] <Gh0st_Note-> as compiz*
[05:02] <dan__> How can I enable my Nvidia Geforce GT 330m 1gb?
[05:02] <{chmod}755> Who says? Compiz can be fully modified to provide some outstanding effects that fully beat Aero.
[05:02] <scunizi> Gh0st_Note-: the only time I've had issues is with some games.. they just don't like it.
[05:02] <Gh0st_Note-> I'm running a GTX260 Black Edition, Q6600 Quad, 2GB of ram
[05:02] <{chmod}755> dan__, lspci, probe or modprobe?
[05:02] <scunizi> dan__: go to System>Admin>hardware drivers and see if there is a driver waiting to be activated.
[05:03] <Gh0st_Note-> Dan, go to hardware drivers
[05:03] <Gh0st_Note-> Yes, what he said
[05:03] <dan__> Already checked hardware drivers. There are  none listed
[05:03] <Gh0st_Note-> hm
[05:03] <{chmod}755> dan__, Do you see it in an lspci?
[05:03] <scunizi> dan__: have you done all your updtes?
[05:03] <F223> ok, you know the windows in the bottom right hand corner that you can switch between, what are those called?
[05:04] <Gh0st_Note-> deskspaces
[05:04] <{chmod}755> F223, workstations
[05:04] <Gh0st_Note-> yes workstations
[05:04] <Gh0st_Note-> lol
[05:04] <Gh0st_Note-> Eitherway really
[05:04] <{chmod}755> I've seen them called everything. =P
[05:04] <F223> ok, can you customize workstations so that each one has a different theme?
[05:04] <Gh0st_Note-> Yup
[05:04] <dan__>  VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0a29 (rev a2)
[05:04] <pointlessjon> anyone have any tips on diagnosing issues with /dev/null?
[05:04] <dan__> 01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation Device 0be2 (rev a1)
[05:04] <{chmod}755> F223, I've seen it done, but I don't know how.
[05:04] <F223> ok
[05:04] <dan__> yeah I did all the updates
[05:04] <Gh0st_Note-> I personally haven't tried it myself dan yet, but I have looked up ways to do it
[05:05] <Gh0st_Note-> seems fairly simple to
[05:05] <{chmod}755> dan__, probe nVidia Corporation Device 0be2
[05:05] <Gh0st_Note-> Just google it
[05:05] <petsounds> !envyNG > dan__
[05:05] <Gh0st_Note-> or bing it whatever
[05:05] <scunizi> dan__: ignore the reference to envyng.. it'll mess with your system..
[05:05] <petsounds> scunizi, what?
[05:06] <scunizi> !envyng | petsounds don't suggest this
[05:06] <deltaflyer4747> Hi, anyone knows why is the #debian locked ?
[05:06] <dan__> What should I do?
[05:06] <scunizi> dan__: if you need the nvidia drivers you can manually install the binary from nvidia.. the issue with it is you'll have to reinstall it with each kernel upgrade..
[05:07] <Gh0st_Note-> Dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu is heaven. srsyly.
[05:07] <sabharish> I run Ubuntu 9.10 as a VM with virtualbox
[05:07] <petsounds> scunizi, messing with your system, in what manner....
[05:07] <F223> I agree, Gh0st
[05:07] <sabharish> and I installed wine, but whenevr I run it its very slow
[05:07] <{chmod}755> Windows 7 is the devil. It hovers over you in your sleep and touches itself. srsyly
[05:07] <Gh0st_Note-> haha
[05:07] <scunizi> petsounds: check the forums.. envy has been around for some time.. lots of issues with it..
[05:07] <deltaflyer4747> or is there anyone able and willing to help me with debian dpkg-buildpackage on mysql problem ?
[05:08] <{chmod}755> deltaflyer4747, you need to go to #Debian for that.
[05:08] <Gh0st_Note-> Windows 7 isn't to bad. I got it for 30 bucks thanks to the student deal
[05:08] <dan__> I already found the binary but I dont understand how I have to update the kernel
[05:08] <Gh0st_Note-> So I don't feel bad about buying it
[05:08] <{chmod}755> I don't want any system that is going to touch itself while I sleep
[05:08] <deltaflyer4747> 755 i'd love to, but as i asked few mins ago, #debian is locked
[05:08] <sebsebseb> !ot
[05:08] <Gh0st_Note-> I'm beginning to use Ubuntu more and more though, with Windows 7 used for games.
[05:08] <sebsebseb> !windows
[05:08] <{chmod}755> Gh0st_Note-, I use windows for
[05:08] <{chmod}755> nothing
[05:08] <{chmod}755> I only use Linux
[05:09] <scunizi> dan__: nvidia has docs on how to install.. but in essense you have to first uninstall the ubuntu driver using synaptic.. when installing the new driver you have to do it from a TTY with the gui shut down..
[05:09] <Gh0st_Note-> haha, well you're obviously not much of a gamer then. :P
[05:09] <deltaflyer4747> {chmod}755: i'd love to, but as i asked few mins ago, #debian is locked
[05:09] <{chmod}755> Gh0st_Note-, do you even know what you're talking about?
[05:09] <{chmod}755> deltaflyer4747, I saw it the first time. It's cool, just hang here for now. Or try #Linux
[05:09] <sebsebseb> Gh0st_Note-:  {chmod}755 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[05:10] <Gh0st_Note-> There's no way around it... Linux, in its present state is not good for gaming.
[05:10] <Gh0st_Note-> Yup.
[05:10] <{chmod}755> sebsebseb, Sorry we're getting in the way of such a busy night
[05:10] <sebsebseb> Gh0st_Note-: quite a lot of good natives games for Desktop Linux
[05:10] <{chmod}755> Gh0st_Note-, epic fail
[05:10] <sebsebseb> !games
[05:10] <deltaflyer4747> {chmod}755: well, noone there is able to help me tho... but i will try the general linux... i just thought it could be common problem as deb and ebu share common ground
[05:10] <Gh0st_Note-> Yeah okay, go run every one of those steam games available, retail games, etc, with no problems, then come back to me.
[05:10] <iflema> Gh0st_Note- define gaming?
[05:10] <{chmod}755> I play all of my games on linux
[05:11] <{chmod}755> Gh0st_Note-, phail on a pail
[05:11] <Gh0st_Note-> sigh... Okay, sure you can play freeware, the limited selection on Wine perhaps with problems, or you can shell out extra money for the alts to wine
[05:11] <scunizi> dan__: check this out.. I wrote this some time ago.. http://pastebin.com/m563a62f4
[05:11] <Gh0st_Note-> but seriously... the gaming is limited
[05:11] <sebsebseb> Gh0st_Note-: also it's best to only support games companies who make for Desktop Linux,  or  WII or PS3 or something that isn't Xbox.
[05:11] <{chmod}755> Gh0st_Note-, I play NWN with wine. It has a linux client.
[05:11] <deltaflyer4747> crap :( linux is also overflow :(
[05:11] <scunizi> Gh0st_Note-: that's nothing new to us..
[05:11] <Gh0st_Note-> Yes, I agree with supporting Linux client games, don't get me wrong.
[05:11] <{chmod}755> Actually, I hate wine and don't use it for any of my games
[05:11] <dan__> scunizi: Ill check it out. Thanks :)
[05:12] <Gh0st_Note-> I LOVE linux and ubuntu, but seriously, be realistic.
[05:12] <{chmod}755> Gh0st_Note-, I am
[05:12]  * iflema thinks Gh0st_Note-  needs a console.... like the kids have
[05:12] <{chmod}755> Gh0st_Note-, when you're as 1337 as sebsebseb, scunizi, and me then you'll kno what I'm talking about
[05:12] <sebsebseb> you can dual boot if Wine or commercial versions of it,  or a Windows virtual machine, aren't good enough for your Windows games
[05:12] <Gh0st_Note-> Uh no, I hate console gaming. I just said I have Windows 7 in dual boot with Ubuntu.
[05:12] <deltaflyer4747> iflema: PS3 with ubuntu? :)
[05:12] <Gh0st_Note-> Ps3 with Linux is limited.
[05:13] <ardchoille> I feel the gaming chat would be better served in another channel.. since it isn't actually in answer to an Ubuntu support question.
[05:13] <{chmod}755> Windows 7 molests children
[05:13]  * iflema Gh0st_Note- poor fing  
[05:13] <sebsebseb> ardchoille: indeed
[05:13] <{chmod}755> There, I said it
[05:13] <sebsebseb> !ot | Gh0st_Note-
[05:13] <Gh0st_Note-> Look, I know you like thinking it's really hardcore to game on linux and have a limited selection of games, but wake up.
[05:13] <Gh0st_Note-> Yes, no problem, I'll stop.
[05:14] <scunizi> Gh0st_Note-: this is all off topic for this channel and belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic.. there you can say what you want.. support here.. bs and other conversation there.
[05:14] <deltaflyer4747> I know this is not the #debian (which gives me overflow), but is there anyone able and willing to help me with debian dpkg-buildpackage of mysql problem ?
[05:14] <dan__> scunizi: Which driver do I get? I'm running 64 bit 9.04 and am not sure which driver I need for the Nvidia GT 330m 1gb
[05:14] <stealyourface> scunizi: so what are you trying to say, your being vague
[05:15] <scunizi> stealyourface: :)
[05:15] <scunizi> dan__: hang on..
[05:15] <neezer> So I just read something about ramdisk and using something called preload. anyone know anything about that?
[05:15] <wolter> how can I get the version of a package installed in my computer, for example notify osd?
[05:16] <dan__> Holding :D
[05:16] <kinja-sheep> wolter: aptitude show <zomg> ?
[05:16] <syn-ack> wolter: apt-cache policy (package)
[05:16] <scunizi> dan__: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_190.53.html
[05:16] <ardchoille> wolter: apt-cache policy packagename
[05:16] <wolter> thanks guys
[05:16] <wolter> heheh
[05:16] <deltaflyer4747> hmm... couldn't ANYONE tell me that i need to register my nick ? :-/ :(
[05:16] <deltaflyer4747> thanks
[05:16] <stealyourface> deltaflyer4747: nuh uh
[05:16] <wolter> I keep trying with the wrong packages
[05:17] <sebsebseb> !register | deltaflyer4747
[05:17] <wolter> What tells me: wolter, you should make a script for all the common operations and distribute
[05:17] <deltaflyer4747> sebsebseb: Thanks
[05:17] <sebsebseb> deltaflyer4747: np
[05:17] <ardchoille> wolter: make use of your ~/.bash_aliases file :)
[05:17] <wolter> ardchoille, hmm.. could be too
[05:18] <ardchoille> wolter:  installme='sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends'
[05:18] <ardchoille> :)
[05:18] <Dravekx> how do I uninstall a program from ubuntu server via ssh?
[05:19] <ardchoille> wolter: This one would be good in your recent question:   apppolicy='apt-cache policy'
[05:19] <daftykins> Dravekx: sudo apt-get remove <packagename>
[05:19] <wolter> ardchoille, yes, or woxe-pkgversion
[05:19] <wolter> hm.. could I use empty spaces too?
[05:20] <ardchoille> wolter: not sure about that
[05:20] <kinja-sheep> wolter: for aliases, no. You'd want to use dash or underscore.
[05:20] <ardchoille> wolter: I thinkit's ok so long as the spaces are inside the single quotes
[05:20] <ardchoille> kinja-sheep: Thank you, that is good to know
[05:20] <disappearedng_> Anybody know why I am getting Error reading iPod photo database from gtkpod
[05:21] <wolter> ardchoille, i mean, for identifiers, but thanks kinja-sheep, Ill use dashes.. or hyphens as some like to call
[05:21] <Dravekx> how do I check for new stuff? there's update and ?
[05:22] <dan__> sorry about that. I closed about. Can you please link me to the guide again?
[05:22] <ardchoille> Dravekx: sudo apt-get upgrade  ?
[05:22] <Dravekx> yes! lol
[05:22] <Dravekx> brain fart.
[05:22] <ardchoille> Dravekx: there's also : sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:22] <kinja-sheep> wolter: I use something like lla "for ls -alh" ; ll for "ls -lh". You get the idea. Better than "ls-al" or similar.
[05:22] <disappearedng_> how do I put wmv files on ipod and what to use
[05:22] <Dravekx> whats the difference between dist-upgrade and jsut upgrade?
[05:23] <ardchoille> Dravekx: dist-upgrade will bring in new packages inorder to satisfy dependencies of you current apps
[05:23] <Dravekx> oh ok :)
[05:24] <Dravekx> is it better to auto-update or manually update?
[05:24] <scunizi> Dravekx: occationally and this is rare.. it will also upgrade a package to the latest version
[05:25] <ardchoille> Dravekx: I feel auto-update is good as you may forget to manually update
[05:25] <Dravekx> scunizi, really?
[05:25] <scunizi> Dravekx: auto update for security and occationally do the other.. like I said.. it's rare
[05:25] <Dravekx> ardchoille, any idea how to check or turn on auto updates?
[05:25] <ardchoille> Dravekx: "latest versin" = the latest version that is available in the repos
[05:26] <ardchoille> Dravekx: No idea how to do that, sorry
[05:26] <scunizi> Dravekx: ardchoille not what I ment but .. ok
[05:27] <ardchoille> scunizi: usually we don't get new versions once the release is out, we just get bug fixes and security updates. We may get newer versions if that is part of a bug fix
[05:27] <ardchoille> or a sceurity update
[05:27] <scunizi> ardchoille: right.. like I said.. rare
[05:27] <ardchoille> Ah, yeah
[05:27] <wolter> every time I log in .bash_profile is executed?
[05:28] <kinja-sheep> Dravekx: Static cron job, cron-apt, or unattended-upgrades.
[05:29] <Dravekx> what is cron-apt? I dont have that installed.
[05:29] <kinja-sheep> !info cron-apt | Dravekx
[05:29] <ardchoille> wolter: .bash_profile is not "executed", it's sourced each time you start up bash
[05:29] <Dravekx> ohhh
[05:29] <wolter> oh ok
[05:29] <wolter> yeah i meant that :)
[05:29] <joshua__> so no putting "exit" in .bash_profile unless you want something really hard to fix
[05:30] <neezer> when I do sudo apt-get upgrade, I get a something saying that some packages have been "kept back" and that 7 packages weren't upgraded. Why is this?
[05:30] <Flannel> neezer: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:31] <kinja-sheep> wolter: Interesting. .bash_profile is for login shells.
[05:31] <neezer> Flannel: what will that do? I'm already running 9.10
[05:31] <joshua__> .bashrc runs in all bash shells
[05:31] <Flannel> neezer: upgrade only bumps version numbers, won't bring in new dependencies.  Things like kernels and things depend on new packages for upgrades.
[05:32] <Flannel> neezer: It'll bring in those packages being held back
[05:32] <ardchoille> neezer: dist-upgrade does not take you to the new release, it simply brings in new packages in order to satisfy update requirements
[05:32] <wolter> kinja-sheep, if that means that every time I log in it will be sourced then I have no further comments on that matter
[05:33] <joshua__> I drove my sysadmin mad when I put "exec ksh" in my .cshrc so long ago. He tried to run a script that su'd to each user and did something with the C shell. He was not pleased to find an interactive shell waiting for him halfway through.
[05:36] <neezer> !pastebin
[05:37] <neezer> Flannel: when I run the dist-upgrade I get an error about unmet dependencies. It is here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7ebb8aed
[05:37] <kinja-sheep> neezer: You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
[05:37] <neezer> I also tried installing libusbmuxd1
[05:37] <neezer> ok.
[05:38] <dan__> How can I install the drivers for a Nvidia GT 330m 1gb? Im running 9.04 64 bit
[05:38] <kinja-sheep> dan__: System --> Admin --> Hardware Drivers.
[05:38] <scunizi> dan__: did my paste not work?
[05:39] <disappearedng_> hey easiest application to convert avi to somethign?
[05:39] <Blue11> mencoder
[05:39] <bastid_raZor> disappearedng_: devede
[05:40] <neezer> kinja-sheep: i tried the sudo apt-get install, and it looked like it installed without errors. then when I did sudo apt-get update, I got the same error about unmet dependencies. it seems like I'm not getting usbmuxd and libusbmuxd1 to install or somthing.
[05:40] <Dravekx> vsftpd is SOOO much faster than proftpd
[05:40] <Metzgerr> my guark terminal is no longer transparency, settings are ok. any hint?
[05:41] <kinja-sheep> neezer: Try installing the packages?
[05:41] <dotblank> Ok I borked my alsa drivers.. will reinstalling Generic Linux Kernel image fix it?
[05:42] <neezer> kinja-sheep. I tried with sudo apt-get install libusbmuxd1 usbmuxd. it aparently didn't work.
[05:42] <dotblank> cause I think alsa is compiled into the kernel
[05:43] <kinja-sheep> neezer: For what app? I don't see libusbmux in the repo.
[05:43] <disappearedng_> I keep getting this error from winff Unknown encoder 'libfaac'
[05:44] <iflema> neezer apt-get -f install
[05:45] <ardchoille> disappearedng_: Just a guess but do you possibly need the libfaac0 package?
[05:46] <disappearedng_> ok all i want to do is convert avi to mov
[05:47] <disappearedng_> so I opened avidemux my wmv file, then simply save it as .mov. The quality is so bad after that, can someone care to explain?
[05:47] <tomipyo> whats the offtop ubuntu channel
[05:47] <tomipyo> i thought it was ubuntu-offtopic
[05:48] <tomipyo> it is hahaha
[05:48] <ardchoille> tomaw: #ubuntu-offtopic

[05:48] <dan__> scunizi: My terminal froze up on me when I ran the commands
[05:49] <neezer> kinja-sheep: I used a repo for connecting my ipod touch from here: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa...Here is the full printout of what I got as a response to sudo apt-get -f install.  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d6d6c2fc3
[05:49] <jack> yo wassup
[05:50] <Blue11> "MY!  People come and go so quickly here...."
[05:50] <iflema> disappearedng_ vlc does a great job @ converting from this to that..... and there are at least 2 other ways... renaming he extension is not one of those
[05:51] <disappearedng_> um, I assume on avidemux it's not simply renaming
[05:51] <scunizi> dan__: perhaps it was when you tried to stop the gui? with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop?  with the newer ubuntu releases you have to sudo service gdm stop
[05:51] <brandon-> is it save to remove the modem manager
[05:51] <brandon-> ?
[05:51] <brandon-> the package "modemmanager" if im not using a modem?
[05:52] <iflema> neezer sorry
[05:52] <scunizi> dan__: http://pastebin.com/m2dfca673

[05:55] <syn-ack> Blue11: I fail to see what that has to do with Ubuntu...
[05:55] <Blue11> because ubuntu will host -- but okay sorry for bothering
[05:56] <neezer> iflema....ok...well, I removed the repositories for the packages and did a -f install and everything is back to normal...I guess it isn't a big deal as i never got it to work anyways.
[05:56] <brandon-> jack5463, what cant you do?
[05:56] <jack5463> you tell me
[05:56] <brandon-> i am telling you
[05:56] <iflema> neezer NO!!! I DONT KNOW>>> was meant for somebody else
[05:56] <brandon-> you can do anything
[05:56] <jack5463> ok thanks
[05:56] <brandon-> anyone know any good threads or articles on how to remove stuff you dont need
[05:56] <brandon-> to optimize ubuntu
[05:56] <lauriff> um, you can't run photoshop, that's about it
[05:56] <Win> Which is EASIER Arch Linux or Gentoo
[05:56] <brandon-> who needs photoshop when you got gimp
[05:56] <brandon-> and photoshop runs good in wine for me
[05:57] <brandon-> Win, why would you ask that in ubuntus channel
[05:57] <iflema> neezer what to work?
[05:57] <Win> just curios
[05:57] <lauriff> CS4?  workspaces are always screwed-lookin to me
[05:57] <syn-ack> brandon-: Never seen you a troll before?
[05:57] <Win> i think i'll try one
[05:57] <osirisx11> can someone please help me with autocropping a bunch of images? i know it sounds simple but i've been searching for a solution for hours. imagemagick with -fuzz and -trim still won't work as they are scanned from a flatbed scanner and have a bit of noise
[05:57] <iflema> ipod.... ooooo
[05:57] <brandon-> syn-ack, never
[05:58] <brandon-> anyone know any good articles or threads on what packages you can remove to cut down on loaded apps
[05:58] <syn-ack> brandon-: Welcome to the world of IRC... Where Men are men, women are men and troll run rampant
[05:58] <syn-ack> trolls too
[05:58] <brandon-> thanks syn-ack
[05:58] <osirisx11> brandon-: there is a computer janitor app installed by default
[05:58] <brandon-> yea i used that janitor thing
[05:58] <brandon-> and its retarded
[05:58] <brandon-> it screwed my pc up last time i used it, hardcore
[05:58] <syn-ack> brandon-: check out bleachbit
[05:59] <brandon-> no i dont wanna delete files
[05:59] <brandon-> see
[05:59] <osirisx11> brandon-: well it cleaned REALLY well then didn't it? ;)
[05:59] <brandon-> im looking at my taskmanager seeing all this stuff loaded, i wanna know what i can get away with unloading/deleting
[05:59] <brandon-> no it didnt clean anything, instead of removing unccesary stuff it removed stuff i used and needed
[05:59] <jack5463> janitor isn't ai
[06:00] <brandon-> its not jack? wise words from the guy who just asked "what can ubuntu do"
[06:00] <syn-ack> brandon-: well... in Ubuntu that's kinda hard to say with somethings... really a default install is really quite small
[06:00] <jack5463> good guess huh
[06:00] <brandon-> yea i know syn nack but i see stuff loaded multiple times
[06:00] <brandon-> is that normal?
[06:00] <brandon-> hald-addon-storage
[06:00] <brandon-> smbd
[06:00] <syn-ack> thats normal.
[06:00] <brandon-> apache2
[06:00] <brandon-> oh ok
[06:00] <FloodBot4> brandon-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:01] <syn-ack> brandon-: They're called "threads"
[06:01] <brandon-> well isnt apache like a web server or something, why would i need that running?
[06:01] <lauriff> especially if you're running in concurrent mode
[06:01] <ardchoille> brandon-: Did you install from the server edition?
[06:01] <alabd> How to open pdf files in ubuntu except document veiwer
[06:01] <brandon-> i dont believe so ardchoille
[06:01] <lauriff> apt-get install evince? apt-cache search pdf?
[06:02] <dan__> scunizi: Ill try again
[06:02] <ardchoille> brandon-: you don't need apache unless you're running a server, and the only way to instal it is manually or via installing from server edition
[06:02] <brandon-> i downloaded the one from ubuntu.com ardchoille
[06:03] <brandon-> didnt say server
[06:03] <brandon-> i just got the 64bit ubuntu 9.10
[06:03] <ardchoille> ok, well you can remove apache if not needed
[06:03] <ardchoille> brandon-: I think you ended up with server edition
[06:03] <brandon-> does that mean theres alot of crap running i dont need?
[06:04] <ardchoille> brandon-: Quite possibly
[06:04] <jack5463> can i access windows if I'm running ubuntu from cd?
[06:04] <ardchoille> brandon-: like apache, php, mysql, etc
[06:04] <alteregoa> jack5463
[06:04] <alteregoa> yes
[06:04] <alabd> lauriff:  except  evince
[06:04] <brandon-> is it gonna be a pain in the ass to remove ardchoille
[06:05] <brandon-> or just a few apt-get remove's
[06:05] <alteregoa> you just need to clock on the drive button
[06:05] <ardchoille> brandon-: No idea, haven't ever tried it
[06:05] <alteregoa> so you have access to your windows files
[06:05] <alteregoa> maybe you can start ubuntu in a virtual machine
[06:05] <syn-ack> brandon-: I'd go to the site, download the correct edition and reinstall.
[06:05] <brandon-> fuck that
[06:05] <brandon-> ive had this installation for months, i dont wanna re-install
[06:05] <syn-ack> !language | brandon-
[06:05] <ardchoille> brandon-: I would agree with syn-ack
[06:05] <airtonix> !who alteregoa
[06:05] <brandon-> oh wow ok i forgot this channel is all kids
[06:05] <lauriff> alabd: in terminal run "apt-cache search pdf" and choose whatever you like best
[06:05] <osirisx11> brandon-: i would too
[06:05] <brandon-> its ok to troll but i cant say cuss words
[06:05] <brandon-> i got it
[06:06] <brandon-> you would what orisis?
[06:06] <alteregoa> !who alteregoa
[06:06] <osirisx11> what others said, get the desktop version, reinstall
[06:06] <brandon-> im at the website and it says nothing about desktop or server
[06:06] <ardchoille> brandon-: That would definitely take care of the not needed packages
[06:06] <airtonix> alteregoa, i meant to incite the concept about prefixing messages with the targets name to make it easier for all to understand the flow of conversation
[06:06] <airtonix> !who | alteregoa
[06:07] <ardchoille> brandon-: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/
[06:07] <brandon-> yea i undersatnd ardchoille  but ive had this installation since 9.10 came out and i already customized alot of stuff, not to mention my gf did as well id ratehr just uninstall all the extra pacakges and save myself the trouble of reinstalling
[06:07] <alabd> lauriff: would you give name
[06:07] <syn-ack> brandon-: First off, and I'm not trying to be rude or anything, I've used linux for more years than I care to admit and I'm going to tell you that while you CAN remove all that stuff you don't need, it's only going to cause you more of a headache that it's worth
[06:07] <brandon-> the server edition says it doesnt install a GUI
[06:08] <brandon-> so how can that be what i have?
[06:08] <ardchoille> brandon-: That's up to you of course, but it may take a lot of work and/or you may not get rid of everything. You choice
[06:08] <ardchoille> brandon-: did you ever install ubuntu-desktop package?
[06:08] <osirisx11> brandon-: maybe you installed something that needed apache?
[06:08] <airtonix> brandon-, what are you trying to achieve ? free up disk space or reduce cpu load ?
[06:08] <lauriff> alabd: meh, try epdfview
[06:08] <brandon-> reduce cpu airtonix
[06:09] <brandon-> i dont recall installing ubuntu-desktop ardchoille
[06:09] <brandon-> isnt there an easy way to tell which version i have, a command perhaps?
[06:09] <jack5463> what is !tab
[06:09] <ardchoille> brandon-: Ok, then I might have been wrong. Just curious as to how you ended up with apache
[06:09] <airtonix> brandon-, yes
[06:09] <ardchoille> brandon-: lsb_release -a
[06:09] <meganerd> brandon-: then use top to figure out what is eating CPU and remove it
[06:09] <meganerd> brandon-: or stop whining and reinstall
[06:10] <brandon-> nothings really eating it, just trying to get rid of uncesary stuff
[06:10] <brandon-> i noticed the modemmanger and wondered if i needed it
[06:10] <ardchoille> Let's be respectful and try to help as best we can :)
[06:10] <brandon-> im not whining about anything
[06:10] <meganerd> brandon-: you could also backup your home directories, reinstall, readd the users, then restore their dorectories
[06:10] <brandon-> meganerd theres no point in reinstalling if im not even on the server eidtion
[06:10] <brandon-> which im almost positve that im not
[06:10] <airtonix> brandon-, its something you would do on windows for sure... is this the concept you are trying to achieve ?
[06:10] <syn-ack> brandon-: That's one of the things I would personally keep on the system since removing it will also remove it's deps which include network manager
[06:11] <brandon-> ok syn-nack
[06:11] <meganerd> brandon-: it actually does not matter, you could install the desktop version, then do an sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[06:11] <brandon-> meganerd i dont think you hve any idea whats going on with what im saying
[06:11] <ardchoille> meganerd: Say that again?
[06:11] <brandon-> you sortve jumped in the convo head first
[06:11] <brandon-> and you dont seem to fully grasp anything weve talked about
[06:11] <syn-ack> Hrm
[06:11]  * iflema windows power user user... 
[06:12] <alabd> is there any way to write on free spae of DVD ?
[06:12] <alabd> *space
[06:12] <meganerd> brandon-: I have the desktop version but I installed apache2, samba, mysql, bind9 which are considered "server" packages.  The whole server desktop delineation is rather arbitrary
[06:12] <osirisx11> brandon-: you catch more flies with honey than vinegar
[06:12] <brandon-> i installed samba as well
[06:12] <syn-ack> Well I'm in a pickle it seems.... Seems taht my new ISP throttles BT so I can no longer use it to sync my daily builds.
[06:12] <brandon-> i know osiris, but he comes in out of nowhere telling me to stop whining when im just asking legit questions
[06:12] <meganerd> brandon-: if you do not need apache and samba then remove them
[06:12] <brandon-> nou, i installed samba myself
[06:12] <brandon-> because i do need it
[06:13] <brandon-> would the server edition have already had samba isntalled? if so then im certain im not on it
[06:13] <syn-ack> yes
[06:13] <brandon-> because i had to install samba myself
[06:13] <osirisx11> brandon-: your tone is awfully aggressive and may make less patient people not want to help you
[06:13] <drew33> Hi All,  I just loaded/installed - My screen is mis-configured and the gnome menu panel is down out of sight (and out of reach),  What  can I do to straighten this out.   I can't get at any programs.
[06:13] <brandon-> orisis then stop talkign to me then
[06:13] <syn-ack> brandon-: what does lsb_release -a tell you?
[06:13] <meganerd> brandon-: the server edition asks you at install, so it may or may not have.  It is available to install on either of the Desktop or server editions
[06:13] <brandon-> it seems like youre trying to passively aggressively trol me
[06:13] <brandon-> yea it did ask me to install
[06:13] <brandon-> sec syn
[06:13] <IdleOne> osirisx11: let syn-ack help brandon-  please, he seems to know more about the situation then we do
[06:14] <brandon-> no lsb modules available syn
[06:14] <syn-ack> brandon-: I understand you're upset but you really do need need to calm down now, or you won't be getting anymore help
[06:14] <syn-ack> What else does it say?
[06:14] <osirisx11> brandon-: i'm trying to help you. we're all friends here. no need to be angry at anyone or call names.
[06:14] <brandon-> im not upset lol
[06:14] <lauriff> you're forgetting the -a option
[06:14] <djhash> bandon: if you had gnome from the beginning then you installed the desktop edition.
[06:14] <brandon-> really im not, my system is working fine i just wanna know what i dont need and what i do need
[06:14] <alabd> when dvd inserted > Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'Debian 5.0.3 i386 Bin-1'.
[06:14] <brandon-> yes i had gnome from the beginning
[06:14] <syn-ack> Then yeah you're running desktop.
[06:14] <lauriff> I think we can be reasonably certain you don't have the server edition.
[06:14] <syn-ack> brandon-: apt-get remove apache
[06:15] <syn-ack> well throw a sudo in there
[06:15] <brandon-> ok thanks syn youve ben really helpful, and thanks for not being a douche
[06:15] <brandon-> yea i got it
[06:15] <brandon-> thanks
[06:15] <djhash> brandon-: Use synaptic, there is a button that says installed. It'll show you everything that is installed. If you know what you don't want then just mark them for removal.
[06:15] <brandon-> nah i dont know for sure djhash thats why i was asking
[06:15] <brandon-> the thing that got me asking was the modemmanger, i didnt know if tit was just for 56k modems or what, cuz i saw it in my running processes
[06:15] <brandon-> and i wanted to get rid of all the running stuff i dont need
[06:16] <alabd> lauriff: also that has the same problem
[06:16] <dan__> Can someone help me with a Nvidia GT 330m 1gb on 64bit ubuntu 9.04
[06:16] <ardchoille> syn-ack: should he do a "sudo apt-get autoremove" when done with apache?
[06:16] <djhash> brandon-: well, it still lists them, and you can click on each and it'll show you description, if you're still unsure, use google, then you'll know if it is important or not.
[06:16] <brandon-> thank you djhash
[06:16] <brandon-> very good advice :)
[06:16] <syn-ack> ardchoille: I would
[06:16] <alabd> pdf viewers in 9.04 just open 1 sat page of pdf file why ?
[06:16] <Jasonrj> '
[06:17] <brandon-> this facebook command line bulcrap i think
[06:17] <brandon-> is what made me install php5 and apache
[06:17] <brandon-> think i figured it out
[06:17] <djhash> brandon-: just becareful, when you mark something for removal, it might tell you that there are other things that needs to be removed, because they depend on it. check that list and make sure it doesn't have anything in there you want.
[06:17] <Metzgerr> my guark terminal is no longer transparency, settings are ok. any hint?
[06:17] <brandon-> yea i know djhash, thank you alot
[06:18] <syn-ack> brandon-: After apache uninstalls you may also want to an apt-get autoremove to remove it's deps that it's no longer using
[06:18] <brandon-> you and syn-ack  were both very hjelpful
[06:18] <brandon-> yea yea
[06:18] <brandon-> <3
[06:18] <ardchoille> syn-ack: I sent you a pm
[06:18] <syn-ack> I sees ya. :P
[06:19] <isolat3dsh33p> guys, is there any way to lock a folder so that no one can open it unless a password is given?
[06:20] <syn-ack> brandon-: wth is this facebook thing you're talking about now?
[06:20] <brandon-> ah im saying i found out why i have apache
[06:20] <brandon-> i installed a thing called fbcmd so i can have facebook stuff in my conky display
[06:20] <jack5463> why
[06:20] <brandon-> and it required php5, which requires apache2
[06:20] <iflema> isolat3dsh33p assign root privillages
[06:20] <brandon-> apparently
[06:21] <syn-ack> brandon-: ah.... thats why you need to check deps before you go installing things all will nill like that
[06:21] <brandon-> lol yea im still new to linux as a whole, but im learning pretty fast
[06:21] <isolat3dsh33p> iflema, ok, thanks :)
[06:21] <brandon-> having facebook in conky is nice
[06:21] <brandon-> but not nice enought o have an apache server running 24/7
[06:21] <brandon-> seems like a security risk and a waste of memory
[06:21] <syn-ack> brandon-: synaptic will list the deps as will apt-cache policy
[06:22] <brandon-> yea thats how i figured out apache was linked to php5
[06:22] <brandon-> which fbcmd needs to function
[06:22] <iflema> isolat3dsh33p and sudo... surely theres gotta be a beter way?
[06:22] <exodus_ms> I have a file I need to copy from my desktop to my laptop that was saved with root privileges. Should I use chown chgrp etc?
[06:23] <ardchoille> exodus_ms: sudo chown $user:$user file  <-- where $user is your suername
[06:23] <exodus_ms> ardchoille, thank you
[06:23] <ardchoille> yw
[06:24] <ardchoille> syn-ack: Thanks for helping brandon- , good job mate :)
[06:24] <brandon-> <3
[06:24] <syn-ack> np
[06:24] <songer> hello
[06:24] <brandon-> this apache portable runtime librarys and stuff, are they needed?
[06:24] <brandon-> they dont get taken out with apache
[06:25] <ardchoille> brandon-: Did you do: sudo apt-get autoremove  ?
[06:25] <brandon-> oh no
[06:25] <brandon-> i didnt remove the original yet, ill try that
[06:25] <ardchoille> Run that
[06:25] <Blue11> they really need a sudo apt-get MakeItDieNow
[06:25] <ardchoille> brandon-: Well autoremove removes deps, so good to do after you remove apache
[06:25] <songer> why it becomes slower ubuntu?
[06:26] <iflema> isolat3dsh33p www.gnome.org/projects/nautilus-locked-folders
[06:26] <songer> what can i do to make my ubuntu normal speed?
[06:26] <isolat3dsh33p> iflema, I'm not sure how to do it. I gave the permission to admin and folder access to none to others but still I can open the folder. I want the folder to be lock, no one can view what's inside unless a password is given.
[06:26] <exodus_ms> ardchoille, grrr, I'm still unable to copy the file. I'm connecting via sftp and have tried command line and nautilus to copy the file
[06:26] <isolat3dsh33p> iflema, ok, I'm going to read that now :)
[06:26] <Blue11> exodus_ms: why not use scp?
[06:27] <songer> firefos its slow some times
[06:27] <ardchoille> exodus_ms: I'm not familiar with sftp
[06:27] <exodus_ms> Blue11, tried that as well, same thing permission denied
[06:27] <kinja-sheep> iflema: "Right away. No questions asked."  How does that stop the snoopers from right-click and "Unlock it" ?
[06:27] <Blue11> ahh well permission problems are different not scp problme or sftp
[06:27] <Blue11> exodus_ms: ru trying to copy a system file?
[06:27] <songer>  and sometime i need to kill it with comman
[06:27] <iflema> ?
[06:28] <isolat3dsh33p> iflema, it gives nothing actually. :(
[06:28] <jonzbcc> hello, I'd like to figure out how to pgp encyrpt/decrypt emails (found a thunderbird plugin for it). Now I want to do the same for the command line. two reasons: I want to know that if my mail is in mbox format, I can take that simple ascii and simply pipe it to another utility like `mcrypt -g` -- does anyone know how to encrypt/decrypt a file that's been encrypted with PGP using the command line?
[06:28] <brandon-> ok it ogt everything else with the autoremove
[06:28] <songer> any help?
[06:28] <exodus_ms> Blue11, na, it is a wireshark log I had saved on my desktop, trying to view it on my laptop
[06:29] <Blue11> exodus_ms: well what are the permissions on the source file set as?
[06:29] <alabd> Hello  what are mode 1 and 2 for ? i k3b advance tab
[06:29] <jonzbcc> alabd: where are you seeing modes 1 and 2?
[06:29] <exodus_ms> Blue11, owner and group set to 0
[06:29] <Blue11> exodus_ms: where is the file located in home directory?
[06:30] <Blue11> exodus_ms: yes that is a permissions error set to zero
[06:30] <exodus_ms> Blue11, yeah, home directory on the remote machine
[06:30] <Guest18516> #apple
[06:31] <ardchoille> brandon-: Ok, what about php5 and mysql?
[06:31] <Blue11> okay then let's do a couple of things - first lets set the owner so sudo chown <YourUserid> <FileNameGoesHere>
[06:31] <brandon-> i uninstalled php5
[06:31] <songer> i need help
[06:31] <brandon-> when i uninstalled apache2, php5 went with it
[06:31] <jonzbcc> anyone encrypt there emails with PGP?
[06:31] <Blue11> exodus_ms: okay then let's do a couple of things - first lets set the owner so sudo chown <YourUserid> <FileNameGoesHere>
[06:31] <ardchoille> brandon-: ok
[06:31] <Virtual> i just installed ubuntu on my laptop and the fan is running at max speed even though i am not using any app, what do i need to install so it scales down the cpu or the fan speed?
[06:31] <bluejeans> jonzbcc: gpg you mean?
[06:31] <brandon-> i have mysql-common installed ardchoille
[06:31] <songer> i made update nd now ubuntu  becomes slower
[06:32] <brandon-> and libmysqlclient
[06:32] <jonzbcc> bluejeans: no, I mean pgp (pretty good encryption) key pairs
[06:32] <exodus_ms> Blue11, ok, just ran the command on the remote machine
[06:32] <ardchoille> brandon-: So do I but they don't do much here, and I keep a lean system
[06:32] <brandon-> kk
[06:32] <brandon-> im trying to look for more crap i accidentally installed
[06:32] <brandon-> when i was more of a newb
[06:32] <brandon-> trying to streamline my system
[06:32] <exodus_ms> Blue11, owner is now 1000 group is the same as before 0
[06:32] <brandon-> it seems like it runs real fast when i first bootup, then performance kind of degrades over time
[06:32] <bluejeans> jonzbcc: ah ok... no, i have used gpg for that tho
[06:33] <brandon-> and i know that isnt right
[06:33] <brandon-> thats more of a windows thing
[06:33] <Blue11> exodus_ms: now let's set the permissions sudo chmod 755 <FileNameGoesHere>
[06:33] <airtonix> !enter | brandon-
[06:33] <kinja-sheep> brandon-: Do you have OpenOffice?
[06:33] <ardchoille> brandon-: since you no longer have apache, you might have a look and see if there's anything you want to keep in /var/www
[06:33] <brandon-> thanks airtonix, glad youre here to tell me that
[06:33] <airtonix> brandon-, libmysqlclient is used by various programs as a method of storing options and extra data
[06:33] <Blue11> exodus_ms: that sets read/write/delete for YOU, and read/access for everyone else
[06:33] <brandon-> yes i do kinja
[06:34] <kinja-sheep> brandon-: That is it.
[06:34] <jonzbcc> bluejeans: I just looked up what gpg is -- its just a utility -- and it looks like it can generate/handle pgp keys (this gives me a lead!). -- do you ever use gpg on the command line?
[06:34] <brandon-> ardchoille,  just index.html in /var/www
[06:34] <bluejeans> jonzbcc: yep
[06:34] <songer> wht can i do?
[06:34] <exodus_ms> Blue11, thank you very much. Will I need to set the perms back on the local machine?
[06:34] <ardchoille> brandon-: you can remove that dir if needed, requires sudo
[06:34] <ardchoille> brandon-: be very careful not to remove /var
[06:35] <Blue11> exodus_ms: no it should copy with same permissions - give scp a try
[06:35] <bluejeans> jonzbcc: or get the keys plugin for firefox .. encrypt/decrypt on the fly
[06:35] <brandon-> yea i know ardchoille :P
[06:35] <ardchoille> ok
[06:35] <brandon-> im seraching through installed files right now in synaptic
[06:35] <ardchoille> brandon-: Good idea
[06:35] <brandon-> trying to see if anything catches my eye like apache did, that souldnt be here
[06:36] <brandon-> ardchoille,  do you have gvfs-fuse installed? i think i installed it for some ipod sync app
[06:36] <Blue11> exodus_ms: so it looks something like (on the machine where the file is located we are going to push onto other machine) scp <FileNameGoesHere> Destination:///home/<UseridGoesHere> . (period at the end important!)
[06:36] <airtonix> brandon-, have you tried crunchbang linux yet?
[06:36] <brandon-> nope, never heard of it
[06:37] <ardchoille> brandon-: I think gvfs-fuse came with the system, I didn't installt manually
[06:37] <airtonix> brandon-, if you are looking for a lean deb based linux system then crunchbang might appeal to you
[06:37] <jonzbcc> bluejeans: thanks for speaking up at all -- I just found a lot of stuff to read up on. I am in a command line env. majority of the time, so I want to make sure (before I publish a public key to my website) that when I *do* start using mutt and keeping my mail in .mbox format, I'll be able to encrypt/decrypt right on the command line without the help of mutt/plugins/etc.
[06:37] <blakkheim> lol, crunchbang isn't "lean" - it's just as bloated as ubuntu
[06:37] <brandon-> nah im not really looking for that airtonix, just trying to remove stuff i installed awhile ago when i didnt knoww what i was doing
[06:37] <airtonix> blakkheim, define bloat
[06:37] <brandon-> without having to reinstall completely
[06:37] <Blue11> Not as bloated as windoze (yet)
[06:37] <blakkheim> airtonix: anything that's unneeded
[06:37] <brandon-> reinstalling just to get rid of a few packages seems like a windows solution to a linux problem
[06:38] <bluejeans> jonzbcc: np. have fun with it
[06:38] <airtonix> blakkheim, then your concept of bloat is subjective
[06:38] <ardchoille> We should take the bloat and Windows convos to another channel
[06:38] <brandon-> i wonder what made the ubuntu devs go with empathy over pidgin
[06:39] <brandon-> first thing i did was uninstall empathy to reinstall pidgin
[06:39] <brandon-> its terrible
[06:39] <ardchoille> brandon-: I think it was because pidgin and skypefeatures can be handled with emp ?
[06:39] <airtonix> brandon-, also : telepathy
[06:39] <brandon-> ah, i dont know a single person on or offline that uses skype, must be a big deal
[06:39] <brandon-> i got the skype app on my ipod but i only used it once lol, seemed kind of stupid
[06:40] <firefox_> can anyone help me with a moblock issue?
[06:40] <airtonix> brandon-, not if you have access to free wifi
[06:40] <exodus_ms> Blue11, didnt work
[06:40] <brandon-> everywhere i go i have wifi access, thats why i bought an ipod touch
[06:40] <Blue11> exodus_ms: okay what happendd?
[06:41] <exodus_ms> scp: ///home/trenton: not a regular file
[06:41] <exodus_ms> Blue11, ^
[06:42] <Virtual> i just installed ubuntu on my laptop and the fan is running at max speed even though i am not using any app, what do i need to install so it scales down the cpu or the fan speed?
[06:42] <Blue11> exodus_ms: it needs the name of the destination computer - for example scp MyLetter.txt Phoenix:///home/myuserid  where Phoenix is the name of the computer you are trying to send the file too
[06:42] <iceroot> Blue11: why ///
[06:43] <iceroot> Blue11: exodus_ms normally its   scp /home/someuser/localfile user@host:/home/something/and/so/on
[06:43] <exodus_ms> Blue11, I used <userID>@<IPaddr>  will that not work?
[06:43] <Blue11> exodus_ms: the first two // is the computer hence Phoenix:// then the last / is for the directory name
[06:43] <Blue11> exodus_ms: dunno let me look at the man
[06:44] <dan__> Can someone help me with a Nvidia GT 330m 1gb on 64bit ubuntu 9.04
[06:44] <Blue11> exodus_ms: yeah it shows that as an option
[06:44] <bluejeans> iceroot: Blue11 ... butting in but, it you scp to user@<host>:dir/ then you don't start the path from /home/ because you're logged in as your user and path astarts from your home
[06:45] <m0ar> Anyone got the Creative X-Fi mediaplayer to work in karmic? I can see it, view the files but not listen to them when transferred. Pretty wierd
[06:45] <Blue11> bluejeans: you are quite correct --
[06:46] <iceroot> bluejeans: yes you are right, its just me using absolute path everytime
[06:46] <Blue11> bluejeans: for me its less typing to do the /// thing but to each his own I guess
[06:46] <iceroot> Blue11: for what is ///?
[06:47] <Vanessur>  /join #ubuntu
[06:47] <iceroot> Vanessur: you are here
[06:47] <MaT-dg> m0ar: what is this x-fi mediaplayer?
[06:47] <Vanessur> i thought so
[06:47] <Blue11> iceroot: computer (//) and path (/) looks strange but it works -- great thing about linux - more then 1 way to skin cat
[06:47] <Vanessur> But someone told me I wasn't...
[06:47] <exodus_ms> Blue11, I got it, thanks!
[06:48] <Blue11> exodus_ms: you owe me a coffee and with that, I will rest - good night folks...
[06:48] <Vanessur> When I use Ubuntu my internet conenction gives out after a couple minutes and won't let me re connect.
[06:48] <exodus_ms> Blue11, :)
[06:48] <Blue11> Vanessur: wireless?
[06:49] <Vanessur> yes
[06:49] <Blue11> what brand of card?
[06:49] <meganerd> Vanessur: do you know what wireless chipset you have?
[06:49] <Blue11> Vanessur: what type of card/chipset?
[06:49] <Vanessur> Good question
[06:50] <Blue11> Vanessur: do an lspci
[06:50] <Vanessur> I am on Vista
[06:51] <SpaceGhostC2C> Hey. I have a microphone running through a soundblaster live! 5.1 card, and everything is set except for one thing. When I talk into the mic, every sound gets played through my output. How do I stop that?
[06:51] <iflema> isolat3dsh33p chgrp & chown sorry i left ya.... and im not a total nethack....
[06:51] <Blue11> Vanessur: lets see if I can do this from memory:  /start/control panel/system/hardware info - -something like that
[06:52] <Blue11> Vanessur: this is a ubuntu help channel not vista though so --- our help maybe limited..
[06:52] <bluejeans> my memory doen'st even reach back that far
[06:52] <rookie> help help
[06:52] <isolat3dsh33p> iflema, no problem. I'll look at it. Thanks :)
[06:52] <Vanessur> yeah
[06:52] <Vanessur> My problem is with Ubuntu
[06:52] <Blue11> bluejeans: If detected early WINDOWS can be cured!
[06:52] <Vanessur> I can't connect to the ineternet
[06:53] <rookie> @vanessur : whts the best brute force dowload
[06:53] <Blue11> night folks
[06:53] <Vanessur> nevermind then
[06:53] <SpaceGhostC2C> Vanessur: you should boot into linux, or ubuntu and then do: lspci
[06:53] <Vanessur> I'll stick with wonderful Vista
[06:53] <Vanessur> forevah
[06:53] <SpaceGhostC2C> Later.
[06:53] <bluejeans> Blue11: 7 years and counting

[06:53] <SpaceGhostC2C> Vanessur: have fun with windows and vista... :(
[06:54] <Vanessur> I won't
[06:54] <SpaceGhostC2C> Your choice. Or rather, your giving up of choice.
[06:54] <smoke-zp> hi
[06:54] <rookie> @vanessur: which is the best brute force?
[06:54] <Jeruvy> Vanessur: how can you expect help here, if you're not running ubuntu?  You should join ##windows
[06:54] <SpaceGhostC2C> Hey. I have a microphone running through a soundblaster live! 5.1 card, and everything is set except for one thing. When I talk into the mic, every sound gets played through my output. How do I stop that the sound playing through the speakers??
[06:54] <Vanessur> =/
[06:54] <rookie> ubuntu chal rha hai
[06:54] <rookie> gandu
[06:55] <Vanessur> I can't come here on Ubuntu
[06:55] <Vanessur> that is my problem
[06:55] <Vanessur> wow
[06:55] <ddecator> what's the problem?
[06:55] <NeT_DeMoN> Jeruvy, because in ##windows they won't tell you how to fix your Ubuntu to connect to the internet
[06:55] <Jeruvy> SpaceGhostC2C: try muting the mic
[06:55] <SpaceGhostC2C> Vanessur: do you know how to use two computers? Can you?
[06:55] <chalcedony> hi rookie
[06:55] <EastDallas> SpaceGhostC2C: you can mute it using gnome-alsamixer
[06:55] <Vanessur> Thanks Robert
[06:55] <bluejeans> SpaceGhostC2C: do you have jack ?
[06:55] <Vanessur> I don't have two computers
[06:55] <Vanessur> or access to two computers
[06:55] <jack5463> i had a hard time getting here from ubuntu also
[06:55] <Jeruvy> NeT_DeMoN: thats debatable, but not the issue here.
[06:55] <ddecator> what trouble are you having with Ubuntu?
[06:56] <SpaceGhostC2C> Jeruvy: I have, but I use it for skype. Should I check out jack?
[06:56] <NeT_DeMoN> SpaceGhostC2C, and not everyone has two computers
[06:56] <Vanessur> ddecator I can't connect to the internet on Ubuntu
[06:56] <collectek_> hello all
[06:56] <troublescoot> do you guys recommend ClamAV for antivirus?
[06:56] <Vanessur> after two mintues it will disconnect
[06:56] <ddecator> @Vanessur are you trying to connect to wireless or ethernet?
[06:56] <SpaceGhostC2C> Vanessur: so, are you trying to use wireless or a wired connection?
[06:56] <Vanessur> wireless
[06:56] <EastDallas> SpaceGhostC2C: Jack is not necessary for skype.  If you aren't doing recording, I wouldn't recommend using Jack for much
[06:57] <Jeruvy> SpaceGhostC2C: if you mute the mic does the mic stop working?
[06:57] <Vanessur> wireless
[06:57] <bluejeans> SpaceGhostC2C: jack is just a simple audio routing utility..tells it to go/not go wherever you want
[06:57] <airtonix> jeruvy, #windows isn't even a support channel to be brutually honest
[06:57] <ddecator> What version of Ubuntu?
[06:57] <rookie> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[06:57] <rookie> help
[06:57] <rookie> m burning my ass
[06:57] <SpaceGhostC2C> Jeruvy: It stops the mic completely yes.
[06:57] <NeT_DeMoN> !language > rookie
[06:57] <SpaceGhostC2C> !language | rookie:
[06:57] <collectek_> clamav works well - especially w. email integrated
[06:57] <Vanessur> maybe he is talking about his burning donkey?
[06:57] <troublescoot> collectek_: email integrated?
[06:57] <Vanessur> geez
[06:57] <Vanessur> and 9.10
[06:58] <EastDallas> SpaceGhostC2C: do you have the package gnome-alsamixer installed?  If so, you can mute the mic from playing back through the speakers, but not from receiving input.  Similar to the Windows mixer.
[06:58] <ddecator> Are you able to connect to Ethernet to see if there are updates that can fix the problem?
[06:58] <SpaceGhostC2C> bluejeans: is jack simple? I've played with other sound servers. I'll look at it
[06:58] <collectek_> like zimbra server can filter mail through server and clamav
[06:58] <Vanessur> probably
[06:58] <SpaceGhostC2C> EastDallas: I just got it from the repos. I'll look at it now.
[06:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> !enter | Vanessur
[06:59] <Flannel> Just ignore those.

[07:01] <ArielMT> "last measure" with a twist, if i read the link's source right
[07:01] <EastDallas> SpaceGhostC2C: If you're familiar with physical audio recording devices and live sound reinforcement, jack will seem familiar, but if not it might seem very complicated.
[07:01] <collectek_> d
[07:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> EastDallas: I have played, but I am not fluent with the software. I got Gnome Alsa Mixer. I'll play and see if I can get it to work. I'll let you know about it.

[07:11] <alteregoa> the fine young cannibals
[07:11] <Flare-Laptop> !ot | alteregoa
[07:11] <arand> Quoting ubottu: There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit
[07:11] <Metzgerr> yes, reeniginEesreveR
[07:11] <Vanessur> You can talk about cannibals but not about burning donkeys?
[07:12] <reeniginEesreveR> Metzgerr, whats the procedure?
[07:12] <bluejeans>  reactor /ignore *@* dcc   ??
[07:12] <Metzgerr> burn a live cd on disk or use a ubs stick, start the live cd and install ;)
[07:12] <reactor> bluejeans, roger
[07:12] <reeniginEesreveR> Metzgerr, when i try dpkg -i package.deb it says "package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)"
[07:13] <alteregoa> On a scale of 1 to 4, what are your feelings about the color green?
[07:13] <Metzgerr> u need i686
[07:13] <Metzgerr> i686 can be 32 or 64 bit
[07:13] <reeniginEesreveR> Metzgerr, what if the i686 pckage isn't available?
[07:13] <Metzgerr> take a closer look
[07:13] <alteregoa> i686 is 32bit
[07:13] <w3rd_> hey guys, upgraded ubuntu and skype mic doenst work? any suggestions? i only see pulse mixer in sound settings... however before i upgraded i could see my headset... i can hear but i cant talk? any suggestions?
[07:13] <Metzgerr> it is, the i686 package is used by 80% users
[07:13] <alteregoa> x86:64 is 64
[07:13] <SwedeMike> Metzgerr: I'd say that i686 is i386 but optimized for i686 class processors, if it's 64bit it's amd64
[07:13] <alteregoa> i686 is pentium 4 class
[07:14] <SwedeMike> actually i686 is ppro and later.
[07:14]  * iflema mike... mike.. mike..
[07:14] <w3rd_> skype suggestions anyone???
[07:14] <alteregoa> but ubuntu binaries are still compiled with i586, what a waste
[07:15] <gerzel> hmm  Anyone else having problems with the new update of Chromium from the google repositories?  It is giving me an "aw Snap!" after trying to load my igoogle page, seems to load the page fully and then the page instance crashes.
[07:15] <Flare-Laptop> oh boy
[07:15] <alteregoa> thats why i use x86_64
[07:16] <alteregoa> get rid of those legacy crap
[07:16] <collectek_> w3rd_ : there was a setting ti change the /dev/ to a different decice.... i dont remember whatit was though
[07:16] <reeniginEesreveR> shouldn't i686 be backward compatiable with i386?
[07:17] <collectek_> computer is not in feo t of me
[07:17] <w3rd_> hmm... let me look..
[07:17] <alteregoa> it is
[07:17] <w3rd_> is it in the skype options?
[07:17] <collectek_> no
[07:17] <w3rd_> oh.. its via the config file
[07:17] <collectek_> yes
[07:17] <alteregoa> a i686 cpu but not a i686 compiled one for a cpu without i686 features
[07:17] <w3rd_> hmmm... lame
[07:18] <w3rd_> not a problem though for an advanced user... but for n00bs
[07:18] <w3rd_> lam3
[07:18] <collectek_> yes
[07:18] <alteregoa> why should someone run those binaries on a 386
[07:18] <w3rd_> got a n00b having issues.. and hard to instruct.. i appreciate the direction though..
[07:18] <reeniginEesreveR> alteregoa, what about an i686 machine trying to run i386 stuff?
[07:18] <alteregoa> well i had a 386,dx20, with 80mb harddrive for just 5600 bucks back in 1988
[07:19] <greezmunkey> how much ram?
[07:19] <collectek_> yep

[07:22] <xubunoobie> Hello.  Is there someone who knows a little something about getting java to work on a new install of xubuntu?  I did the xubuntu restricted extras install.  I went to Sun's website to test java and it said it wasn't working.  I checked in the synaptic pachage manager for openjdk jre and it looked like it was installed properly.  I even did a "mark for reinstall" just in case.   About:plugins on my mozilla doesn't show anything java

[07:27] <TJSD> Is it possible to format a hard drive to ext3 and install ubuntu from inside xp, but then have that hard drive boot on another computer without windows. Any ideas?
[07:27] <arand> xubunoobie: Look for the sun-java6-bin package in synaptic and install it.
[07:28] <xubunoobie> arand: Do you think that one would be better than the one maintained by Canoical (openjdk)
[07:28] <airtonix> TJSD, no.
[07:29] <troublescoot> installing my first dedicated ubuntu server and, for some reason, webmin doesn't see that apache2 is "started." I know because it says "Start Apache" at the top right, yet I run ps aux | grep 'apache' and it's there. I checked the paths and everything seems legit -- anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
[07:29] <airtonix> TJSD, 1) are you unable to boot from cd 2) do you not have a recent ubuntu live cd ?
[07:29] <TJSD> i cannot boot from cd because i wiped my hd and it has no boot sector. it wont load cds but it will boot to usb flash.
[07:30] <airtonix> TJSD, i thought booting from cd was controlled by the bios and has nothing to do with the condition or presence of a hard drive .
[07:30] <arand> xubunoobie: I do not know, but might be worth a try I guess.
[07:31] <greezmunkey> TJSD, that does'nt make sense...
[07:31] <arand> TJSD: That, in theory, shouldn't prevent you from booting CDs, have you checked the bios to see if CD boot is selected?
[07:31] <EastDallas> annonymous: Open a terminal and type sudo dpkg --configure -a
[07:31] <TJSD> i figured the same but it tells me ntldr is missing. press any key to reboot
[07:31] <airtonix> TJSD, you might want to familiarise yourself with your BIOS
[07:31] <TJSD> Yes it is set to boot from cd
[07:32] <TJSD> like i said if i set it to boot from usb that will work.
[07:32] <airtonix> TJSD, it might only work if the cd is on its own IDE channel
[07:32] <xubunoobie> arand:  Ok.  Thank you I will give it a try.
[07:32] <greezmunkey> TJSD, That sounds like an XP problem
[07:33] <TJSD> its been tuff to solve
[07:33] <airtonix> TJSD, this means that the cdrom drive needs to have its own ide cable connecting it to the motherboard
[07:33] <TJSD> thanks for all your help
[07:33] <TJSD> Ya it has its own channel
[07:33] <TJSD> I can boot from floppy as well
[07:33] <annonymous> done it
[07:33] <annonymous> after?
[07:33] <sss> hey, sup? i have a "problem"
[07:34] <EastDallas> annonymous: sudo apt-get update
[07:34] <EastDallas> annonymous: sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:34] <TJSD> does the ubuntu installer format to ext3?
[07:35] <airtonix> TJSD, depends which version of ubuntu. 8.10 9.04 use ext3 where 91.0 will also provide ext4 as well
[07:35] <sss> TJSD, you can specify the filesystem
[07:35] <ubuntu> polskie ubuntu
[07:35] <EastDallas> annonymous: if there's nothing to be upgraded, just try installing any package
[07:35] <sss> hey guys, Markus is completely free right
[07:35] <EastDallas> annonymous: I have more ideas if that doesn't work.
[07:35] <TJSD> ok thanks
[07:35] <annonymous> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3601dfe
[07:35] <annonymous> got that

[07:37] <airtonix> sss does Markus have anything to do with ubuntu ?
[07:37] <annonymous> okay hold on a sec
[07:37] <Awesome3000> annonymous  What are you trying to do?
[07:37] <EastDallas> annonymous: then sudo apt-get update

[07:38] <airtonix> adac, tried looking in the userland folder : ~/gnome2 ? or ~/.config
[07:38] <EastDallas> annonymous: NP
[07:38] <annonymous> thanks very much man
[07:39] <EastDallas> adac: it's in /home/purple
[07:39] <airtonix> adac, pidgin also uses the name purple to identify itself sometimes
[07:39] <bluejeans> Awesome3000: 'locate pidgin'
[07:39] <EastDallas> annonymous: any time...glad I could help
[07:39] <arand> adac: I think ~/.purple/
[07:39] <bluejeans> sorry.. adac
[07:40] <EastDallas> adac arand bluejeans it's definitely /home/.purple
[07:40] <Dr-Digi> so am i just like out of luck? i installed ubuntu yesterday on a partition of my windows system,  grub and all i get options of what to boot off of and windows wont boot, only ubuntu does

[07:43] <Leftmost> I'm attempting to follow the directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick for Mac OS X, but an IMG file for amd64 is nowhere to be found. Any ideas?
[07:44] <oko> fj
[07:44] <oko> witam
[07:44] <keepsake> Leftmost: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[07:44] <keepsake> Leftmost: It's just the 64bit version
[07:44] <pretender> installed citrix receiver xen app version 11 ob ubunru 64 bit 8.04 and it is working.  however when i open up terminal services client ica is greyed out.  Is there an easy way to shadow someone's citrix session in linux perhaps from the terminal?
[07:44] <Awesome3000> Dr-Digi: Do you have a windows disk
[07:44] <Leftmost> keepsake, the instructions specifically say it will not work with an ISO, only an IMG. IMG is a different format, used by Apple.
[07:45] <Leftmost> Various wiki pages refer to being able to get IMG files at one point, but no such thing for 9.10, it seems.
[07:45] <EastDallas> Leftmost: http://macosx.com/forums/networking-compatibility/28079-iso-img-conversion.html
[07:45] <keepsake> Leftmost: As far as I know there is little difference between IMG and ISO.
[07:45] <Dr-Digi> Awesome3000 it was on my hard drive originally, i had 320 gigs free and i added it into that hard drive to use 50 gigs
[07:45] <keepsake> Leftmost: Actually yeah look at what EastDallas sent.
[07:46] <EastDallas> Leftmost: those are instrux for converting iso to IMG
[07:46] <Leftmost> Ahh, saw that thread... someone passed over the instructions.
[07:46] <Dr-Digi> i got an XP Pro upgrade disk and my gateway xp pro disk
[07:47] <sss> WELL, How can i get Server help?
[07:48] <Awesome3000> Dr-Digi  Try booting either of those and see if it has an option to fix windows booting. Then reinstall grub so to boot into ubuntu
[07:48] <keepsake> Dr-Digi: Are you having problems booting Windows?
[07:48] <EastDallas> Leftmost: You can accomplish this in the Terminal with this command:
[07:48] <EastDallas>  hdiutil convert "/path/to/name.iso" -format UDRW -o "/path/to/output.dmg"
[07:48] <Leftmost> EastDallas, I got it, thanks.
[07:49] <Dr-Digi> okay, i have done almost all of that without ever reading that page
[07:49] <Dr-Digi> i get a list of OS's
[07:49] <Dr-Digi> Windows XP Professional , Ubuntu, Ubuntu Safe Mode  etc
[07:49] <Dr-Digi> but Windows doesnt boot
[07:49] <Dr-Digi> it just like reboots and goes back to grub
[07:49] <keepsake> Dr-Digi: You'll have to do some fixmbr and fixboot commands in a recovery console.
[07:50] <troublescoot> Guys, webmin can't see apache2 running.. how do I get it to see the light??
[07:50] <EastDallas> Dr-Digi: you might be able to do a repair install of windows to restore ntldr, but it will most likely break your dual boot.
[07:50] <Awesome3000> Dr-Digi: It sounds like you have installed grub over windows bootloader start by restoring it
[07:50] <arand> Dr-Digi: try running an "sudo update-grub" from within ubuntu, or hang on, do you want to get rid of grub?
[07:51] <Dr-Digi> i dont mind grub... i like the option of which OS to boot from
[07:51] <Dr-Digi> my issue is my macintosh motherboard fried, and its not under warranty i cant really afford a new mac right now and i got files i need
[07:51] <arand> Dr-Digi: then try th update-grub, which _might_ work
[07:52] <defn> I have a savvy user who is going to be logging into my system.  How can I make sure that all of his keystrokes and bash_history are secured?
[07:52] <Dr-Digi> windows xp wont mount the hard drives and ubuntu does
[07:52] <defn> err are logged
[07:52] <defn> so I can review what he did on my machine
[07:52] <keepsake> Dr-Digi: Boot with your Windows XP disk, and enter Recovery Console when prompted. Log in, and then type in the following commands: "fixmbr" followed by "fixboot". You'll find that it'll remove grub. If you want grub, you can reinstall it afterwards.
[07:53] <defn> he will have sudo access, so id like to make it impossible for him to cover his tracks
[07:53] <defn> any ideas?
[07:53] <Dr-Digi> i got a bunch of errors
[07:53] <keepsake> defn: Keylogging =O
[07:53] <defn> keepsake: heh, whatever works man
[07:54] <arand> defn: if he has root access it is not possible.
[07:54] <Dr-Digi> http://pastebin.com/d3df30890
[07:54] <boyan> Hi folks, has any of you used www.ubuntuforums.org lately? I have a problem posting a new Thread...
[07:55] <keepsake> Dr-Digi: Are you trying to get Windows back? Your Windows isn't booting probably not because grub is messed, but because the Windows bootloaders are damaged.
[07:56] <arand> Dr-Digi: I am guessing that those errors shouldn't affect it, try booting windows now, if that doesn't work go with keepsake's suggestion
[07:58] <TJSD> how can the boot loaders be fixed?
[07:59] <keepsake> TJSD: Which bootloaders?
[07:59] <TJSD> for me its ntldr
[07:59] <EastDallas> defn: You could use a keylogger, but with sudo access he could defeat anything you installed.
[07:59] <EastDallas> !info lkl
[07:59] <arand> TJSD: is windows still installed on the disk
[08:00] <TJSD> im formating my hd to fat in hopes that i can just create a fake windows folder
[08:00] <TJSD> no windows
[08:00] <arand> TJSD: no operating system at all?
[08:00] <TJSD> then hopefully i can boot from cd. i know it shouldnt keep me from booting from cd drive but...
[08:01] <TJSD> no os its a blank drive
[08:01] <keepsake> TJSD: Why would you want a Windows bootloader then?
[08:01] <Awesome3000> TJSD  to boot from cd it's BIOS not bootloader that you need
[08:01] <EastDallas> TJSD: why do you think your bootloader is preventing you from booting from CD?
[08:02] <TJSD> i know that the bios must be set to boot from cd but it wont boot from the cd drive. ive tried two drives
[08:02] <arand> TJSD: in theory, what is or not on the disk shouldn't affect CD booting at all..
[08:02] <keepsake> TJSD: Then it's the disk; it's probably not bootable.
[08:02] <defn> The user who is logging into my system will have root access, but won't be doing anything beyond a couple of simple tasks.  I just want to guarantee that he cannot delete his history through conventional methods.
[08:02] <Awesome3000> TJSD  Is the drive a master
[08:02] <arand> TJSD: can you boot USB though?
[08:02] <keepsake> defn: Someone with root access can do ANYTHING.
[08:02] <TJSD> it doesnt make sense to me either. im trying to fix it to rule it out as why i cant boot from cd
[08:02] <keepsake> defn: That's what root is =\
[08:02] <EastDallas> defn:  If he's got sudo access you can't guarantee that.
[08:03] <Awesome3000> defn  what is he doing
[08:03] <defn> he's scanning my machine looking for stuff, he's going to be running a couple of locate commands and then logging off
[08:03] <EastDallas> TJSD: Are you trying to boot ubuntu install cd?
[08:03] <unimatrix9> hello there
[08:03] <defn> he is not going to assume im doing anything like this
[08:03] <TJSD> im asill check the jumpers. its a dell comp so it should still be set
[08:03] <defn> i just want to capture his history somewhere he might not look
[08:04] <TJSD> i cant boot from ubuntu cd or windows xp install
[08:04] <EastDallas> !info lkl | defn
[08:04] <unimatrix9> pidgin fails to connect to msn, due to protocol, are you having the same problems here? any tips to resolve this issue?
[08:04] <arand> TJSD: in that case, boot and install from a usb maybe?
[08:04] <EastDallas> TJSD: Have you gone into the bios and set the CD-ROM first in boot order?
[08:04] <TJSD> yes dallas
[08:04] <TJSD> i can boot from usb
[08:05] <keepsake> defn: Although, it's important to note that with sudo/root access, it's near impossible to make something foolproof. If this person finds the log/program, the person can delete/terminate.
[08:05] <defn> keepsake: yes i understand this
[08:05] <defn> but he will not be doing that
[08:05] <TJSD> i tried the usb booter from ubuntu.com but that wouldnt boot either for some reason
[08:05] <jack5463> i'm booted from cd now
[08:05] <EastDallas> unimatrix9: I'm connected to MSN via pidgin right now
[08:05] <defn> does running `history -c` stop the current history log in RAM from being written to .bash_history?>
[08:05] <unimatrix9> hmm, okey
[08:06] <jack5463> had to change the order of bootdrive
[08:06] <keepsake> unimatrix9: Is your pidgin updated?
[08:06] <keepsake> unimatrix9: The MSN protocol changed awhile ago.
[08:06] <unimatrix9> i just updated it...
[08:06] <keepsake> unimatrix9: What version is yours?
[08:06] <EastDallas> unimatrix9: has this been going on for a while
[08:06] <unimatrix9> 2.4.1
[08:07] <arand> TJSD: have you also made sure the CD is booting before the HD?

[08:07] <EastDallas> unimatrix9: there's a ppa
[08:08] <TJSD> or you mean cd booting?
[08:08] <EastDallas> unimatrix9: I'm on 2.6.5
[08:08] <unimatrix9> yes i added ppa, hmm, maybe i did something wrong
[08:08] <keepsake> unimatrix9: You might need to build from source, since I doubt the latest version if built for 8.04.

[08:16] <cousin_mario> what's a good repository to get thunderbird 3 for karmic?
[08:17] <EastDallas> cousin_mario: it's in the built in repos
[08:17] <EastDallas> cousin_mario: are you looking for the daily builds?
[08:17] <cousin_mario> EastDallas: under what name?
[08:17] <cousin_mario> EastDallas: nope
[08:18] <sefram> EastDallas: It has chipid 0x9710 and is an RS880
[08:18] <Quan-Time> cousin_mario: yer. what he said..  how it works is. the main ubuntu "official" one has limited speed, so any "mirrors" are all identical.  They log in each night, and update..
[08:18] <cousin_mario> Quan-Time: it's not about speed
[08:18] <cousin_mario> Quan-Time: I can't find thunderbird 3 in the main repositories

[08:18] <EastDallas> sefram, I couldn't find a 4200 hd on their website
[08:19] <cousin_mario> zzz: is the mb bricked already?
[08:19] <seventoes> are there any simpler solutions for DNS than Bind 9?
[08:19] <sefram> EastDallas: which site?
[08:19] <cousin_mario> seventoes: possibly dnsmasq
[08:19] <Dr-Digi> yeah that didnt work...
[08:19] <cousin_mario> seventoes: depending on your needs
[08:19] <Quan-Time> cousin_mario: umm.. try "thunderbird" instead.. its prolly listed that way
[08:19] <Dr-Digi> im have to figure out that other method
[08:19] <cousin_mario> Quan-Time: that's the 2.x version
[08:19] <Awesome3000> seventoes what are you trying to do
[08:20] <seventoes> got a VPS I need to point a domain at and control the records
[08:20] <zzz> cousin_mario: I'm not sure. I think the bios is bricked. I try to update earlier and I think it might have died while updating. I was going to try to recover via a floppy drive.
[08:20] <EastDallas> cousin_mario: That's too funny..I installed it from synaptic in Jaunty...I've since uninstalled it, and it's not there now!??!?
[08:20] <EastDallas> sefram ati.amd.com
[08:20] <cousin_mario> zzz: I think it was 20 years ago since I played with that stuff..does it try booting from a floppy?
[08:21] <cousin_mario> EastDallas: could you check your old repositories? perhaps you added some unofficial one?
[08:21] <cousin_mario> EastDallas: is ubuntuzilla any good?
[08:21] <sefram> EastDallas: its there http://support.amd.com/de/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx but that doesnt work...
[08:21] <cousin_mario> zzz: by the way, did you reset the CMOS via jumper after the update?
[08:21] <zzz> cousin_mario: I don't know, sadly. I haven't messed with floppy drives in years and I don't have any floppies to mess around with right now. I just was going to ask if anyone has ever recovered via the floppy disk method. I know some people have used external floppies via usb, so technically a usb flash drive should work too (right?)
[08:22] <zzz> cousin_mario: Not via the jumper. I took the battery out for a minute or two.
[08:22] <EastDallas> cousin_mario: I just went through and cleaned up my sources.list a few weeks ago, so I know none of the old repos are there.  Don't know anything about ubuntuzilla.
[08:22] <zzz> Should I reset the jumper?
[08:22] <cousin_mario> zzz: I think the problem is the bios in that state might not be able to use usb peripherals
[08:22] <Quan-Time> cousin_mario: im still using thunderbird 2 as well, and just checked, no 3 update as yet.. thats proly why.. give it a few days
[08:23] <cousin_mario> zzz: what did you use for the upgrade?
[08:23] <juxo> hello what's the name of the french ubuntu room ?
[08:23] <pat|nG> does skype apps work on ubuntu? or kubuntu?
[08:23] <cousin_mario> Quan-Time: been months now, I don't need it to be official
[08:23] <juxo> please :
[08:23] <juxo> :D
[08:23] <zzz> cousin_mario: I went into the bios and hit the M-Flash tool with my usb flash drive - and it wrote the bios
[08:23] <cousin_mario> zzz: ok
[08:23] <juxo> ?
[08:23] <Awesome3000> cousin_mario: Can you just go to  http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/all.html  download & install from there
[08:23] <cousin_mario> zzz: I'd try the jumper
[08:23] <EastDallas> cousin_mario: here's the ppa for the daily builds: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa
[08:23] <zzz> It said erasing, writing, crap like that.. then went to a black screen. I waited a bit, and being impatient, just rebooted it.
[08:23] <cousin_mario> Awesome3000: I could, but I also want it to be up to date
[08:24] <cousin_mario> EastDallas: I don't want the daily builds
[08:24] <Quan-Time> cousin_mario: http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/download/?product=thunderbird-3.0&os=linux&lang=en-US just get it and install manually
[08:24] <zzz> cousin_mario: What do I do for that, just take it out, move it to a different pin, and start it back up?
[08:24] <cousin_mario> zzz: usually. I also recommend you ask on #hardware
[08:24] <Awesome3000> cousin_mario: Doesn't Thunderbird update itself
[08:24] <zzz> cousin_mario: Thanks.
[08:24] <TJSD> Thanks everyone and have a good night
[08:24] <cousin_mario> Awesome3000: dunno, what about dependencies btw?
[08:24] <alex87> i'm trying to run mozilla 3.0 from mozilla's tar, but bash is telling me that thunderbird-bin doesn't exist? it definitley does exist
[08:25] <GG19> is there a way to put specific icons to files? I dont know where to look, and I don't mean theme icons I mean custom icons.
[08:25] <Jowi> alex87, cd into the directory and launch it with ./filename
[08:26] <ardchoille> GG19: right flick the file, Properties, in the Basic tab click the icon and change it
[08:26] <Awesome3000> cousin_mario:  Think the installer would ask about them
[08:27] <EastDallas> cousin_mario: as far as I can tell, that's the only repo that exists for tbird3
[08:27] <GG19> ardchoille,  thank you so much :(
[08:27] <GG19> opps
[08:27] <GG19> :)
[08:27] <GG19> dark room keys are hard to see
[08:27] <cousin_mario> Awesome3000: I assume installing those from a tarball would conflict with the ones installed normally
[08:27] <cousin_mario> EastDallas: ok
[08:30] <pat|nG> does skype apps work on ubuntu? or kubuntu?
[08:30] <alteregoa> yes

[08:32] <pat|nG> jm95: it's hard to install vmware on ubunyu 8.04
[08:32] <EastDallas> sefram: I must be blink, because when I choose linux-x86 then Radeon, nothing comes up that says 4200 HD or HD 4200
[08:32] <jm95> i no im getting some errors
[08:32] <pat|nG> coz ubunyu 8.04 doesnt exist
[08:32] <EastDallas> *blind
[08:32] <pat|nG> hehe
[08:32] <jm95> :(
[08:33] <jm95> its hardy heron
[08:33] <pat|nG> which vmware u're using?
[08:33] <pat|nG> workstation?
[08:33] <pat|nG> go for player!
[08:33] <jm95> vmware server
[08:34] <pat|nG> do u really need to install that server?
[08:34] <pat|nG> is it for work?
[08:34] <jm95> probably not im unsure
[08:34] <pat|nG> or just for u?
[08:34] <jm95> just me
[08:34] <sefram> EastDallas: Linux x86_64  > Integrated/Motherboard > Radeon HD 4200   (i tried this ito way too old for ubuntu karmic and wont work)
[08:34] <pat|nG> go for player
[08:34] <pat|nG> player is easy
[08:34] <jm95> is there a guide anywhere for setting it up
[08:34] <pat|nG> yup
[08:34] <pat|nG> mostly from vmware player
[08:35] <pat|nG> server is quiet complicated to config tho
[08:35] <jm95> does player do the same as server?
[08:35] <sefram> EastDallas: Best thing after you installed it you never get rid of all that crap it leaves on your system...
[08:35] <Phil0926> hey does anyone here know how i can get Ventrilo on Ubuntu 9.10
[08:35] <EastDallas> sefram: unfortunately, amd dropped updated support for a lot of their hardware...I had to go out and buy an nvidia card for my desktop machine.
[08:35] <pat|nG> but in documentation here...i mean in site....u'll find lots of vmware player setups for ubuntu
[08:35] <jm95> ok il take a look thanks for your advice
[08:36] <pat|nG> u just need to virtualize right?
[08:36] <pat|nG> so go for player
[08:36] <jm95> yes want an xp running
[08:36] <pat|nG> player will do for that
[08:36] <jm95> brill thanks
[08:36] <Phil0926> hey does anyone here know how i can get Ventrilo working
[08:36] <pat|nG> welcome
[08:36] <sefram> EastDallas: its quite new one, but i think i never will give AMD any money again and buy only nVidia / Intel in the future... Shame on you guys from AMD...
[08:36] <pat|nG> or vbox if u like
[08:36] <pat|nG> try
[08:37] <Phil0926> i got it and run the install and wine but dont see any sort of .exe or on my WineDoors life
[08:37] <EastDallas> sefram: Ubuntu didn't offer to install the proprietary drivers for you via jockey?
[08:37] <Phil0926> i never use AMD/ATI
[08:37] <Phil0926> i alwas build Nvid/Intel
[08:37] <pat|nG> but i do use vmware
[08:38] <sefram> EastDallas: Its the same crap as the one from the amd page, it offered it but it wont work in karmic... I heard it should work on hardy, but i want to use a system which is up to date...
[08:39] <EastDallas> sefram: sorry :(
[08:39] <sefram> grmbl i want my wasted money back...

[08:52] <zey> squid
[08:53] <arand> Quan-Time: autoremove?
[08:53] <rick__> can anyone link me or point me in the right direction regarding a list of ubuntu's default file permissions... I have was trying to set /usr/games to be like multiuser but I screwed it up :(
[08:53] <arand> Quan-Time: or clean, autoclean..
[08:53] <_DarkStar_> I'm looking to update Firefox from version 2, any ideas what the command is to do so?
[08:54] <rick__> _DarkStar_ sudo apt-get firefox
[08:54] <_DarkStar_> thanks
[08:54] <_DarkStar_> E: Invalid operation firefox
[08:54] <_DarkStar_> ;
[08:54] <arand> rick__: wrong
[08:55] <_DarkStar_> doesnt seem to work rick__
[08:55] <rick__> sec
[08:55] <_DarkStar_> lol... figured so arand
[08:55] <ardchoille> sudo apt-get install firefox
[08:55] <arand> _DarkStar_: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[08:55] <oCean_> _DarkStar_: to install packages it is "sudo apt-get install <packagename>"
[08:55] <_DarkStar_> 8.04 i think
[08:55] <rick__> lol what ardchoille said
[08:56] <_DarkStar_> Description:Ubuntu 8.10 arand
[08:56] <EastDallas> _DarkStar_: you'll have to install shiretoko to install a newer version on 8.10
[08:56] <_DarkStar_> i am learining some bash commands :P
[08:56] <rick__> hmm for some reason nautilus wont change file permissions for me recursively :(
[08:56] <oCean_> _DarkStar_: try "apt-cache policy firefox" to see whether there are suitable updates for you
[08:56] <_DarkStar_> i am learining some bash commands :P
[08:56] <arand> _DarkStar_: listen to eastdallas.
[08:56] <_DarkStar_> EastDallas: it seems i have 8.10 :P
[08:57] <_DarkStar_> arand: i have 8.10 lol
[08:57] <_DarkStar_> shell is very... new to my windows mind
[08:57] <EastDallas> _DarkStar_: Shiretoko is the "codename" for Firefox 3.5.
[08:58] <arand> _DarkStar_: Use synaptic package manager and install the "firefox-3.0" package
[08:58] <oCean_> _DarkStar_: type "apt-cache policy firefox" to see which versions are available for your 8.10 release
[08:58] <arand> oCean_: That'll only give info about v2
[08:58] <meganerd> 8.10 is EOL, time to upgrade
[08:58] <oCean_> arand: it will give info on what is available
[08:59] <kraut> moin
[08:59] <rick__> anyone know why after I set /usr/games permissions to be the user "games" and group "games" I now get access denied for everything inside of it?
[08:59] <rick__> I have made myself part of the "games" group also
[09:00] <EastDallas> _DarkStar_: do you see a package called 'shiretoko' in synaptic?
[09:00] <_DarkStar_> it says firefox is already at its newest version
[09:00] <_DarkStar_> but my "about" on firefox says version 2
[09:00] <oCean_> meganerd: not eol yet
[09:00] <arand> EastDallas: for 8.10 there is no shiretoko
[09:00] <_DarkStar_> arand is correct...
[09:01] <_DarkStar_> arand: what exactly is the latest version of firefox?
[09:01] <oCean_> _DarkStar_: did you try the apt-cache policy command?
[09:01] <EastDallas> _DarkStar_: take a look at this: https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ubuntuzilla/index.php?title=Main_Page
[09:01] <arand> _DarkStar_: so use the "firefox-3.0" package.
[09:01] <_DarkStar_> Version 3?
[09:02] <_DarkStar_> ok no worries i solved it...
[09:02] <troublescoot> ok guys, this is driving me insane. i have a barebones ubuntu install. installed webmin, then installed apache2 using apt-get ... now webmin doesn't seem to see that apache2 is running. can someone help me figure this out?
[09:02] <_DarkStar_> i was using an alpha1.1 version a while back was really lightweight but changed all my shortcuts
[09:02] <_DarkStar_> just had to change my shortcuts back to the original firefox
[09:02] <_DarkStar_> and its solved :P
[09:02] <EastDallas> troublescoot: you installed apache2 after webmin?
[09:03] <arand> _DarkStar_: 3.5 is I think... 3.6 and 3.7 still in development, but old versions of ubuntu will obviously lag in versions
[09:03] <oCean_> !webmin | troublescoot, mind you:
[09:03] <troublescoot> EastDallas: yes
[09:03] <troublescoot> ebox? ok
[09:03] <_DarkStar_> arand: i see their is a 9.04 do u suggest upgrading to it?
[09:03] <oCean_> _DarkStar_: latest is 9.10
[09:03] <_DarkStar_> i had to clean install the previous time since 9.04 doesnt support touchpad
[09:03] <oCean_> afk > papul|away
[09:04] <oCean_> !afk > papul|away
[09:04] <_DarkStar_> oCean_: well on 9.04 i lost usage of my touchpad
[09:04] <EastDallas> troublescoot: I think that's your problem...You might try completely removing webmin and reinstall.  FWIW I use webmin on 3 karmic servers fine.
[09:04] <oCean_> _DarkStar_: probably kernel boot option, like acpi=off or something
[09:04] <troublescoot> EastDallas: ok, let me try that
[09:05] <Blues-> one question .. if I move HD's between 2 ubuntu servers .. will the UUID of the disks be the same ?
[09:05] <_DarkStar_> oCean_: if u refer to google forums im not the only one experiecing this and its a known bug for older laptops :)
[09:05] <oCean_> EastDallas: troublescoot that might be, but this is not the channel to expect support. Since, well, it's no longer supported
[09:05] <_DarkStar_> ubuntu forums*
[09:05] <koshari> Blues should be
[09:05] <Blues-> ok thanks
[09:06] <irwan> cf
[09:06] <irwan>   htfui
[09:06] <troublescoot> oCean_: i understand -- i've just been Googling this one issue for a few hours now like a zombie, so i figured i'd come here. i appreciate any help at all at this point
[09:06] <arand> _DarkStar_: guess you could always try out 9.20 and see if the touchpad works, just running the liveCD should give you an idea..
[09:06] <arand> _DarkStar_: 9.10 sorry
[09:07] <_DarkStar_> arand: im using xubuntu at the moment lol...
[09:07] <koshari> arand you mean 9.10

[09:08] <_DarkStar_> koshari: mock my crappy laptop all u want :P i do it all the time lol
[09:08] <arand> _DarkStar_: 9.10 is with xfce as well.
[09:08] <_DarkStar_> arand: ok lemme give it a try lol...
[09:08] <dukz> what's a good monitoring service for multiple servers located in different areas? I want a centralized location where I can check their status.
[09:08] <koshari> _DarkStar_ you could try flux
[09:09] <arand> !ops | irwan spam and flood
[09:09] <ardchoille> dukz: I've seen people use gkrellm for that
[09:09] <_DarkStar_> koshari: im a newbie.... not very sure yet how to install flux etc
[09:09] <troublescoot> EastDallas: that fixed it. :) thank you
[09:09] <koshari> _DarkStar sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[09:09] <EastDallas> troublescoot: np
[09:10] <arand> _DarkStar_: Linux Mint has a version with fluxbox
[09:10] <jussi01> !fluxbuntu
[09:10] <_DarkStar_> arand: hate linux mint... like a windows mimic
[09:10] <dukz> ardchoille: Thanks, am checking. I'm looking at munin, but it seems that i have to install it in every server, which is what I"m avoiding
[09:11] <jack5463> if you run ubuntu from a usb stick but don't install it can you add functions to the os like a regular hd?
[09:11] <arand> _DarkStar_: Or crunchbang, (but I'm sliding offtopic now...)
[09:11] <_DarkStar_> arand: one thing at a time...lets start with this fluxbox ;)
[09:11] <EastDallas> oCean_: Webmin is still updating their debian repo.  I just upgraded to 1.500 the other day.
[09:11] <_DarkStar_> koshari: fluxbox if im correct is a different session right?
[09:12] <koshari> _DarkStar_ correct
[09:12] <_DarkStar_> koshari: so now its installed.. i log of this session and boot into flux?
[09:12] <jussi01> EastDallas: webmin is not supported in ubuntu at all
[09:12] <irwan> dragom
[09:12] <EastDallas> http://webmin.com/support.html

[09:13] <_DarkStar_> arand: to boot into flux i simply logout and then log into the flux session?
[09:14] <koshari> _DarkStar_ yes
[09:14] <_DarkStar_> great :P
[09:14] <troublescoot> now i have a whole new fun issue -- i have spyware IPs sending my server requests for spam emails a la grum botnet :]

[09:20] <error404notfound> I am looking to create a trimdown version of ubuntu myself, just like google chromium. I have download JeOS, what do i need to customize its installed CD so that it also installed X and probably some very light WM and chrome?
[09:20] <_DarkStar_> error404notfound: im using xubuntu uses almost no resources and good graphics on a 128mb ram pc :)
[09:21] <maxagaz> how to fsck a lvm partition from live usb ?
[09:21] <error404notfound> _DarkStar_: yes, but i just wanna experiment. I wanna know how to customize and build a distro. Unfortunately Remastersys no longer works with grub2+karmic on my system
[09:21] <_DarkStar_> sorry error404notfound not really into that :P
[09:22] <ardchoille> error404notfound: that really isn't supported here
[09:23] <error404notfound> ardchoille: okay, then where is that supported?
[09:23] <ardchoille> error404notfound: no idea, try their mailing lists orforums
[09:23] <defn> anyone here use sfill?
[09:24] <Jimi_Neutral> anyone know any info about ghemax.....my shippings website has been hacked by him
[09:28] <Xfact> I am using ubuntu 9.10 and in some cases like google gadgets offering two versions of .deb package 1st based on 'GTK2 and another is based on 'Qt'...which one is decent and I should take?
[09:28] <meganerd> Xfact: qt for KDE, GTK2 for Gnome
[09:28] <ardchoille> Xfact: gtk is the toolkit used by gtk apps (gnome), qt is the toolkit used by kde apps
[09:29] <troublescoot> do you guys recommend Bind as my DNS server?
[09:29] <meganerd> troublescoot: bind is what I use here at home
[09:29] <Xfact> so GTK is preferable?
[09:29] <Metzgerr> my guark terminal is not transparent anymore, settings are ok. any hint?
[09:29] <Xfact> as I am using ubntu based on Gnome
[09:29] <ardchoille> Xfact: in your case, yes
[09:29] <meganerd> Xfact: it depends on which environment you are using
[09:29] <meganerd> though either will work, there is really no "better" option
[09:30] <troublescoot> meganerd: i'm doing my first ubuntu dedicated server setup and trying to figure out how best to set it up
[09:30] <ardchoille> True, gnome apps work in kde and kde apps work fine in gnome
[09:30] <troublescoot> doing a mass migration from a shared hosting environment to the dedi
[09:30] <ardchoille> Xfact: since you're aksing this question, I would recommend sticking with gtk stuff for now
[09:30] <Xfact> Kubntu users can use Qt based apps?
[09:31] <ardchoille> yes, qt is a toolkit used to write kde gui apps
[09:32] <ardchoille> iirc, GTK = Gimp Tool Kit, which was originally designed for The GIMP app itself
[09:36] <rethus> how can i rsync via ftp?
[09:36] <rethus> is this possible?
[09:37] <Diverdude> I have installed a program called imagej, and I need to locate its folder because I have to put a plugin-file into its folder. How do I figure out where imageJ's folder is in ubuntu?
[09:38] <Diverdude> any1?
[09:39] <srdgame> I have setup my dual monitors, the second one is the extended screen.  They are in different resolution, and the second screen's is bigger than my main screen.  And then my mouse could hide under my major screen.  Could anybody help?
[09:40] <rethus> or is there an ftp-client wich copy only files which different than my files to my local hdd ?
[09:40] <srdgame> The same question as one people met before, which may could help to clarify my question.   refer:http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=86266
[09:40] <EastDallas> Diverdude: Have you tried search?  It might be in ~/.imagej (show hidden items)
[09:41] <disappearedng_> any one here familiar with the proper way to type
[09:41] <EastDallas> disappearedng_: Are you being facetious?
[09:42] <disappearedng_> no cause I realize that characters involving the right hand I type with a much lower accuracy
[09:42] <disappearedng_> like backspace, ., /, p, o
[09:42] <defn> having a good keyboard does wonders
[09:43] <disappearedng_> yeah I was thinking of getting a 200USD keyboard that splits the keys up for you
[09:43] <defn> i have a HHKB II Pro
[09:43] <defn> 254$ USD
[09:43] <defn> well worth it
[09:43] <FloodBot4> defn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:43] <Kartagis> I have a problem with not being able to watch facebook videos in full length on firefox. I can do that on chromium. should I file a bug or something?
[09:44] <skydrome> #firefox
[09:44] <Kartagis> thanks skydrome
[09:44] <rethus> which is a good frp-client gui ?
[09:44] <Guest26848> is anybody here who could help me with my webcam video on skype? I have ubuntu 9.10. Webcam is workin on cheese webcam or webcam monitor but on skype is just green video. I tryed to google it but with no succes. I am sure it has to be way to make it work, so please help me...
[09:44] <EastDallas> rethus: rsync does not work over ftp.  I can't vouch for this, but it looks like what you need: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ftpsync/
[09:44] <maco> Guest26848: 64bit?
[09:45] <EastDallas> Kartagis: I've had the same prob for a long time.
[09:45] <Guest26848> maco: i think yeah
[09:45] <DJones> rethus: frp-client or ftp-client?
[09:45] <maco> Guest26848: i edited my /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop to have "Exec=LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype" instead
[09:46] <Guest26848> maco:how should i do that?
[09:46] <Kartagis> EastDallas, were you able to solve it?
[09:46] <maco> Guest26848: gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop
[09:46] <maco> Guest26848: then edit the Exec= line to be like what i said
[09:47] <DJones> !ftp | rethus Assuming you mean ftp-client, As with anything, you're better trying a few of the packages to see which feels the best in use for yourself, what works well for one person may not suit you.  Have a look at ubottu's links and the packages she suggests
[09:47] <EastDallas> Kartagis: HOnestly, I thought it was a FB problem...I usually just play the video a second time and it will play all the way through.
[09:48] <Kartagis> EastDallas, I just played the video on chromium and it played all the way
[09:49] <jonzbcc> exit
[09:49] <EastDallas> Kartagis: Like I said, it's intermittent for me, so I didn't realize it was a FF bug.  Sometimes they play all the way through on the first try.
[09:49] <troublescoot> holy crap -- is there some guide that will help my slow brain with BIND9?
[09:49] <troublescoot> i am utterly lost
[09:49] <SwedeMike> troublescoot: don't ask to ask.
[09:49] <psteyn> Hi guys.  I'm running Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS.  I _need_ to use PHP 5.2.5 or higher, but LTS seems to be locked to 5.2.4.x.  How can I safely upgrade to PHP 5.2.5?
[09:50] <troublescoot> SwedeMike: i won't
[09:50] <EastDallas> troublescoot: http://linux.justinhartman.com/DNS_Installation_and_Setup_using_BIND9
[09:52] <troublescoot> EastDallas: thank you, kind sir
[09:53] <EastDallas> troublescoot: np
[09:53] <_Darkstar_> hi...
[09:54] <_Darkstar_> arand: ?
[09:54] <_Darkstar_> koshari: ?
[09:54] <Metzgerr> how do you synch your windows mobile device with ubuntu?
[09:54] <arand> _Darkstar_: yea?
[09:55] <_Darkstar_> arand: i've tried that fluxbox.. not rellly my style but IceWm is awesome :D
[09:55] <troublescoot> EastDallas: do all domains on the server need master zones or only the server's primary domain?
[09:55] <_Darkstar_> arand: what i wanna knw is can i put panels on icewm and how do i insert desktop shortcuts.. i've heard of iDesk?
[09:55] <alteregoa> i installed ubuntu-satanic
[09:55] <troublescoot> don't worry -- i won't go too crazy with questions, just wanted a push in the right direction
[09:55] <alteregoa> ubuntu-satanic looks very nice
[09:56] <alteregoa> maybe its politically incorrect to add it in to the main releases
[09:56] <xss> ubuntu is good
[09:56] <alteregoa> but ubuntu-satanic has beautiful login screens and screensavers
[09:56] <erUSUL> alteregoa: it is one of the many derivatives that we do not support here ...
[09:56] <maco> alteregoa: particularly for halloween
[09:57] <xss> i m the creater of ubuntu
[09:57] <maco> erUSUL: er, its not exactly a derivative. it's not a distro. it's a single theme package
[09:57] <EastDallas> troublescoot: I'm no DNS guru, that's just a guide I used in the past.
[09:57] <EastDallas> :p
[09:57] <alteregoa> erUSUL, who cares if #ubuntu supports ubuntu-satanic, its open source so anybody can do what he want with it
[09:57] <erUSUL> alteregoa: true; but offtopic
[09:57] <troublescoot> EastDallas: fair enough. DNS is an ugly beast to tackle.
[09:57] <troublescoot> :]
[09:57] <alteregoa> yeah life is offtopic
[09:57] <Hans_Henrik> well not everything.. can't exactly change the name and start selling it
[09:58] <maveas> Lol xss
[09:58] <maco> Hans_Henrik: um, yes you can
[09:58] <arand> _Darkstar_: Well, I actually have no idea, have never really used them, the downside of those in my experience, is them being somewhat more tricky to configure..
[09:58] <Hans_Henrik> maco: but like "legally do it", unless your... whoever ubuntu is copyrighted to (canonical inc?)
[09:58] <alteregoa> i cant stand those political correctness of ubuntu
[09:58] <maco> Hans_Henrik: removing copyright statements and claiming you wrote it all and refusing to give others the source is about all you can't do
[09:58] <maco> Hans_Henrik: renaming is *well* within the protections of the GPL
[09:58] <maco> Hans_Henrik: selling for cash is also perfectly ok
[09:59] <maco> Hans_Henrik: i suggest you read the GPL some time
[09:59] <_Darkstar_> ........
[09:59] <alteregoa> i read the GPL any day
[09:59] <EastDallas> troublescoot: much more comprehensive and might answer your question : http://www.bind9.net/manual/bind/9.3.2/Bv9ARM.html
[09:59] <erUSUL> Hans_Henrik: you only have to respect the ubuntu trademark policies ( www.ubuntu.com/legal ) and the license of the varius packages
[09:59] <alteregoa> heh the kernel 2.6.33 brings a major performance improvement for applications in the foreground
[10:00] <alteregoa> they changed something in the process scheduler
[10:00] <maco> Hans_Henrik: and the trademark policy is actually more like "please DO change the name so people dont get confused"
[10:00]  * airtonix hears collective scratching of thousands scrambling to install 2.6.33
[10:00] <maco> alteregoa: please go to #ubuntu-offtopic as you do not appear to be asking a support question
[10:00] <alteregoa> ok inspector maco
[10:01] <erUSUL> given that 2.6.33 is not even released i do not think so airtonix :)
[10:01] <airtonix> hence the scratching
[10:01] <troublescoot> EastDallas: thanks!
[10:01] <alteregoa> erSUL, ok RC4 is still 3 or 4 cycles away from the final release
[10:02] <alteregoa> whateer erusul means
[10:02] <Hans_Henrik> maco: but lets say i made my own app witch weren't open source, commercial, and i needed some small potion of the ubuntu kernel code for whatever, then i would be forced to give the source code of my app to all i send/sold it to?
[10:03] <erUSUL> alteregoa: ;)
[10:03] <maco> Hans_Henrik: yes
[10:03] <Ali_> hi all, can someone please tell me how to forward all emails coming to a specific domain to another program?
[10:03] <Guest26848> maco:what should i do when it is 32bit?
[10:03] <erUSUL> Hans_Henrik: if you use gpl code you have to ovide by the gpl license or stop distributing... #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to discuss further
[10:03] <maco> Hans_Henrik: you would not be allowed to make it not open source. it MUST also be GPLv2
[10:04] <maco> Guest26848: umm then the path is a bit different....let me find...
[10:04] <llutz> Ali_: maildrop/procmail
[10:05] <MASARUwota> Hans_Henrik: traitor detected D:
[10:05] <maco> Guest26848: try with "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype" instead
[10:05] <Hans_Henrik> MASARUwota: ?
[10:05] <Ali_> llutz, i was using postfix and was hoping there is some kind of way of piping mail from one domain only to a program
[10:06] <Hans_Henrik> could i bypass the GPL-lisence by just making a wrapper for some DLL open source, and the dll is the 1 actually doing stuff? :p
[10:06] <Hans_Henrik> (well and the wrapper has the gpl-2 code specific stuff)
[10:08] <MASARUwota> Hans_Henrik: youre not allowed to use GPL stuff in commercial software. An exception is LGPL, which DOES allow you to do that. but afaik the ubuntu kernel = linux kernel = GPL
[10:09] <MASARUwota> Hans_Henrik: also, please, if you want to make a wrapper, just make that opensource aswell :/
[10:09] <Guest26848> maco: after doin this and launching skype it wrote me this error:"Failed to execute child process "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so" (No such file or directory)"
[10:09] <maco> Guest26848: what is the output of "uname -a"?
[10:10] <Guest26848> maco: Linux jan-desktop 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 16:20:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[10:10] <Hans_Henrik> is Red Hat Enterprise linux open-source?
[10:10] <erUSUL> Hans_Henrik: yesw
[10:11] <MASARUwota> Hans_Henrik: you pay for support afaik
[10:11] <erUSUL> MASARUwota: and the name ;)
[10:13] <Guest26848> maco: Linux jan-desktop 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 16:20:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[10:14] <fcuk112> i installed ubuntu, burned a copy of win7-x64 ready to install for dual-booting.  but when i boot up, it doesn't boot from the cd (goes straight into installed ubuntu).  any ideas?
[10:14] <maco> Guest26848: hmm i dont know why it wouldn't exist. i dont have 32bit here to try to figure out where that is.  im pretty sure its a v4l v. v4l2 problem though, so googling "ld_preload skype" should point you the right direction (doing the 64bit equivalent worked on mine)
[10:15] <sivang> where can I download ubuntu 8.10 from ?
[10:15] <Guest26848> ok, thanks anyway.
[10:15] <seven> hia
[10:15] <erUSUL> fcuk112: check bios settings for boot order. further questions go to ##windows as is win7 issue ;)
[10:15] <sivang> it si not in the download options anymore

[10:15] <_Darkstar_> hi im using xubuntu with a IceWM, im wondering how do i add a task panel on my screen ?
[10:15] <bredoto> hia
[10:16] <homebrewcider> can someone help please. I have no sound. when I fire up the mixer I have no alsa device listed (where last night there was one) I have "Playback:dummy output (pulse audio mixer)" listed
[10:17] <_Darkstar_> hi im using xubuntu with a IceWM, im wondering how do i add a task panel on my screen ?
[10:17] <arand> sivang: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ note that 8.10 will be End-Of-Life in april
[10:17] <arand> !repeat | _Darkstar_
[10:17] <sivang> arand: not good, it is much faster then 9.10
[10:17] <sivang> and so 9.10 is a pain to work on web development
[10:18] <bredoto> need help! how can i detect nat connection on client side in ubuntu ?
[10:18] <boyan> does anybody of you have problems posting new thread on www.ubuntuforums.org?
[10:22] <bredoto> enybody
[10:22] <_Darkstar_> ok... icewm and flux are a waste :/
[10:24] <screen-x> bredoto: compare ip from network manager, with ip from  http://ipchicken.com/
[10:24] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, tried out tint2 ?
[10:25] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, I use it when I have openbox running
[10:25] <_Darkstar_> tint2?
[10:26] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, it is a taskbar
[10:26] <_Darkstar_> airtonix: lemme chek it out... low on resources?
[10:26] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, very
[10:26] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, http://code.google.com/p/tint2/
[10:26] <_Darkstar_> airtonix: exactly what im looking for then :P
[10:26] <Tanthrix> If anyone is in the mood to figure out a really strange samba issue making a 3 year old Arch Linux system own my new Ubuntu system with regards to file/folder traversal speed, have a look at this: http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux-cifs-client/2010-January/005512.html
[10:26] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, i can't remember if it is in the ubuntu repos
[10:26] <airtonix> !find tint2
[10:27] <airtonix> !info tint2
[10:27] <airtonix> :)
[10:27] <coolguy4> is there a terminal command to find out my current screen resolution?
[10:28] <joep> Hi. I have a problem with a Hardy installation from an USB-stick. I want to add some packages to it but that won't work as it says:E: Unable to write mmap - msync (28 No space left on device). However, the USB stick has still 1 GB free, however, it is formatted as FAT32 (standard when making an OS on an USB-stick). I wonder if anybody knows how to overcome this problem.
[10:28] <coz_> _Darkstar_,  did you also try  lxde?
[10:28] <fcuk112> for some reason my systray icons are to the right of my login name and date/time, any idea how to fix?
[10:28] <llutz> coolguy4:  xdpyinfo |grep dimen
[10:28] <_Darkstar_> no i havent coz_ but i think i like this tint2
[10:28] <coz_> fcuk112,  I notice this happening with dual monitor set ups
[10:28] <coz_> _Darkstar_,  ok tint2  works as well as lxde
[10:28] <fcuk112> coz_: i don't have dual-mon setup.
[10:29] <coolguy4> llutz: thanks
[10:29] <coz_> fcuk112,   you cans right click the system tray   unlock and move it where you want   the same for the clock
[10:29] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, here is how i was using it (apps separated per workspace) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/180039/screenshots/2009-07-15-173127_1920x1080_conky.png
[10:29] <fcuk112> coz_: for some reason it won't move to the right of those icons though.
[10:30] <coz_> fcuk112,  would you take a screenshot and upload to picpaste.com     let me see what you mean
[10:30] <fcuk112> coz_: ah no i just fixed it, thanks! ^_^
[10:30] <coz_> ok
[10:30] <_Darkstar_> it looks pretty awesome airtonix
[10:30] <_Darkstar_> airtonix: whats the sudo pacage name to install it on terminal?
[10:31] <coz_> airtonix,  actually I really like that wallpaper   where is that from?
[10:31] <joep> coolguy4: You must do it as user as root cannot reach the user display.
[10:31] <erUSUL> Tanthrix: you seem to already contacted the right people about it. seems purely kernel related (the in kernel cifs driver)
[10:31] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, sudo apt-get install tint2
[10:31] <_Darkstar_> E: Couldn't find package tint2
[10:32] <Mwa> What does GNAA mean?
[10:32] <_Darkstar_> airtonix: doesnt seem to find the package
[10:32] <Tanthrix> erUSUL: That's my thought as well, but I thought it might not hurt to ask here, in case there was something Ubuntu-specific that could be causing issues.
[10:32] <coz_> _Darkstar_,  just to see  ...here is a list of window managers   http://xwinman.org/others.php
[10:32] <resjudicata> ubuntu no longer detects my sound card, what should I do?
[10:32] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, you have the universe repo enabled ?
[10:32] <coolguy4> I'm trying to google this... but I'm having some trouble. I have a dual head mother board. i just modified xorg.conf according to a howto. It works well, but now I have two identical screens, I'd like two separate sceens.
[10:32] <_Darkstar_> airtonix: i have no idea what that means im using xubuntu lol
[10:33] <erUSUL> Tanthrix: well if you could test vanilla 2.6.31 (without ubuntu patches) it will help to see if it is a ubuntu issue
[10:33] <coz_> coolguy4,  which video is on board     lspci | grep -i vga
[10:33] <erUSUL> Tanthrix: afaik Arch uses vanilla kernels ?
[10:33] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, ok open up synpatic package manager
[10:33] <_Darkstar_> ok
[10:33] <_Darkstar_> open...
[10:33] <coolguy4> it's ati 3200 HD
[10:34] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, Settings > Repositories
[10:34] <coz_> coolguy4,  mmm damn I know too little about ati  however I believe there is something called "Bigdesktop"  for ati
[10:34] <coz_> coolguy4,  you may want to look into that
[10:34] <_Darkstar_> right... go on airtonix
[10:34] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, second tick box on the first tab should be ticked
[10:34] <Tanthrix> erUSUL: Is there an easy way to do that that you're aware of? I admit I haven't done a lot of manual kernel-related stuff over the years.
[10:34] <coolguy4> coz_: oh, i thought xinerama could do the dual desktops by itself
[10:35] <coz_> coolguy4,   well with ati I am not sure   you can talk with people in the #radeon channel or #ati channel to be sure
[10:35] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, one labeled : "Community-maintained Open Source Software (universe)"
[10:35] <erUSUL> Tanthrix: maybe you find a ppa with vanilla kernels ... but it will be 2.6.32 or so
[10:35] <erUSUL> !ppa | Tanthrix
[10:35] <coolguy4> ok, thanks
[10:35] <jm95> can anyone help with an error installing vmware player
[10:36] <Tanthrix> erUSUL: I'll have a look, thanks for the info.
[10:36] <erUSUL> Tanthrix: no problem.
[10:36] <alteregoa> heh where can i get kernel sources for mainline kernels?
[10:36] <erUSUL> alteregoa: vanilla kernels? www.kernel.org
[10:36] <alteregoa> i installed the sourcecode to mainline-ppa into the /home/ dir
[10:36] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, once you have that enabled .. closing that window should prompt you to do a reload of the package index
[10:36] <oCean_> !anyone | jm95
[10:37] <oCean_> jm95: also, have you considered using virtualbox?
[10:37] <alteregoa> erUSUL: i dunno if its a vanilla kernel, its a precompiled kernel on ubuntu mainline site
[10:37] <_Darkstar_> airtonix: it has been ticked
[10:37] <jm95> ok i have just used command gksudo bash ./VMware-Player-2.5.1-126130.i386.bundle
[10:37] <jm95> yet it does not do anything
[10:37] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, if it didn't ask for you to reload the index then hit the reload button on the toolbar to the far left.
[10:37] <erUSUL> alteregoa: if you are getting it from a repo just install the source package for it
[10:37] <jm95> how do i used chmod - the file is on my desktop
[10:37] <erUSUL> alteregoa: sudo apt-get source package_name
[10:37] <_Darkstar_> airtonix: its always been enabled lol
[10:37] <alteregoa> i installed it
[10:38] <alteregoa> erUSUL i installed the headers and the source package
[10:38] <erUSUL> jm95: right click on it go to properties. tick the executable checkbox on the first tab
[10:38] <jm95> no is vitualbox designed for linux?
[10:38] <junmin> hello all, just install ubuntu 9.10, mouse is randomly freezing :s any idea?
[10:38] <alteregoa> but the nvidia driver still cannot find the kernel-headers
[10:38] <airtonix> coz_, sorry only info i have for that background is the filename : wallpaper102.jpg
[10:38] <oCean_> jm95: Applications > Accessoires > terminal, Then you're on the commandline. Then you can "chmo +x filename.bundle"
[10:38] <alteregoa> jumin: replace the batteries
[10:38] <coz_> airtonix, no problem :)
[10:39] <erUSUL> alteregoa: then should be somewhere in /usr/source/ ?

[10:39] <erUSUL> intok: memtest ?
[10:39] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, you might be right.
[10:40] <_Darkstar_> airtonix: so i should upgrade to 9.04?
[10:40] <Jowi> junmin, if it's a USB mouse, plug it into another USB port and see if it works better
[10:40] <alteregoa> junmin: maybe your mouse is messed up
[10:40] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, this is how i installed it on 8.10
[10:40] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, http://code.google.com/p/tint2/wiki/Install#For_Ubuntu_8.10_(Intrepid)
[10:40] <junmin> alteregoa: tried another already. Jowi tried anothers ports already :s
[10:40] <intok> erUSUL memtest passes, smartmon passes, but sometimes the box decides it not going to read any hdd or live disc, hdd is sata cd it ide
[10:40] <alteregoa> jumin: then your usb is messed up
[10:40] <jm95> thanks but i get no file or directory now
[10:41] <airtonix> _Darkstar_, that screenshot was from me using 8.10 last year
[10:41] <ffr76> Bom dia
[10:41] <alteregoa> get a bus powered hub or something
[10:41] <alteregoa> or a self powered
[10:41] <erUSUL> intok: nothing in the logs from the kernel ?
[10:41] <ffr76> sorry good morning
[10:41] <erUSUL> !hi
[10:41] <oCean_> jm95: once in terminal you have to navigate to the folder containing the downloaded file. Is it in Downloads or in Desktop in your homefolder?
[10:41] <Nokia_E75> Assalamualaikum w.b.t.
[10:41] <Guest11172> how to set date&time variable in bash script
[10:41] <Jowi> junmin, see if you get a lot of USB disconnects in /var/log/messages - if you do, try with a different kernel version.
[10:41] <Nokia_E75> Hye... :)
[10:42] <intok> erUSUL haven't checked, I'm still a n00b in linux
[10:42] <jm95> its in admin desktop ocean
[10:42] <oCean_> Guest11172: variable?
[10:42] <erUSUL> Guest11172: date=$(date)
[10:42] <resjudicata> anyone?
[10:42] <alteregoa> On a scale of 1 to 4, what are your feelings about the color green?
[10:42] <resjudicata> how do I get ubuntu to recognize an audio card?
[10:42] <Jowi> junmin, ...or perhaps it's a hair by the led of the mouse. give it a good blow :D
[10:42] <Nokia_E75> I'm using mIRGGI on Nokia E75
[10:43] <erUSUL> intok: check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages /var/log/kern.log
[10:43] <oCean_> jm95: and you are this "admin" ? Then, after opening terminal do "cd ~/Desktop"
[10:43] <Nokia_E75> How to detect my E75 on Ubuntu 9.10?
[10:44] <alteregoa> no clue
[10:44] <jm95> get no file or folder
[10:44] <jm95> should i go with virtualbox
[10:45] <_dsl> hello, is it possible to restrict interent browser access to specific sites (say just 3 or 4)?
[10:45] <intok> resjudicata what audio card and have you checked that it's selected in the sound prefs? have you also checked in the multimedia systems selector you'll have to unhide that by going to System>Prefrences>Main Menu> Multimedia systems selector just check the box so it shows in the list, set everytihng to alsa and it should be good
[10:45] <oCean_> jm95: I'm just not sure where you downloaded the file. Sure, you could try virtualbox ...  the free edition is in the repositories
[10:45] <Jowi> alteregoa, I would say "pizza" or perhaps "pencil" or perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[10:45] <resjudicata> intok, sound prefs says its using the "dummy" device, my card doesn't show up
[10:46] <Nokia_E75> How to detect my E75 on Ubuntu 9.10? Anyone knows? Its only charging when connect via USB cable
[10:46] <resjudicata> intok, I'm not sure what make and model it is, whatever comes with dell vostros these days
[10:46] <jm95> i will try that now
[10:46] <resjudicata> and wasn't ubuntu supposed to be using pulseaudio and not alsa starting 9.10?
[10:46] <oCean_> jm95: if you're still on the commandline (in terminal) then you could do "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose" to start install process
[10:46] <sdf23> Hi all, i m using crossover 8 on ubuntu 9.04 for ms office 2007. If i upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 will i have to watch for something?
[10:47] <erUSUL> resjudicata: puseaudio sits on top of alsa (the kernel drivers)
[10:47] <resjudicata> erUSUL, oh, thanks. I thought it was a complete replacement
[10:47] <Nokia_E75> Nobody helps me?
[10:48] <jm95> ok thanks
[10:49] <pat|nG> jm95
[10:49] <pat|nG> is it workin?
[10:49] <Nokia_E75> Ok bye...
[10:49] <resjudicata> ok, the multimedia systems selector program doesn't list my audio card either, it shows "unkown"
[10:50] <erUSUL> resjudicata: ls /dev/snd/*
[10:51] <resjudicata> erUSUL, by-path  controlC0  hwC0D0  pcmC0D0c  pcmC0D0p  pcmC0D1p  seq  timer
[10:51] <intok> resjudicata look up the model sound chip on dells site?
[10:51] <resjudicata> intok, tried that, no look. they just list that it's "integrated"
[10:54] <erUSUL> resjudicata: so it seems that the sound card is there ... alsamixer does not show it ?
[10:55] <erUSUL> resjudicata: or « amixer info »
[10:55] <jm95> ocean thx for help - i get no suitable module for running kernal found
[10:56] <resjudicata> it shows an intel card, Card default 'Intel'/'HDA Intel at 0xf6dfc000 irq 21'
[10:56] <farciarz84> how can I update certain program in ubuntu?
[10:56] <farciarz84> from console
[10:56] <intok> erUSUL scanning over both nothing overtly jumps out at me kern.log http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7a914fb6 Messages http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m781981f1
[10:56] <farciarz84> sudo apt-get install program (tell me that this soft is already installed) but I would like a new version of it
[10:57] <erUSUL> !latest | farciarz84
[10:57] <resjudicata> !backports
[10:58] <farciarz84> erUSUL: I don't need lastest for the first
[10:58] <farciarz84> but 1.0.0 and 1.3.5 is a big difference
[10:58] <janksinjs> tarakaani taadi
[10:58] <janksinjs> :D
[10:58] <erUSUL> farciarz84: the part i want you to read is this « Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact  bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit.
[10:59] <janksinjs> kas ir, neviens nekaa nerubii
[10:59] <janksinjs> ?
[10:59] <resjudicata> so... any ideas what should I do?
[10:59] <Rincewind> ;-)
[10:59] <erUSUL> farciarz84: so if the package is not backported a new version only appears in a new version of ubuntu
[10:59] <janksinjs> kamaseki
[10:59] <janksinjs> :D
[11:00] <janksinjs> neviens te LV nerubii?
[11:00] <farciarz84> erUSUL: stragne
[11:00] <erUSUL> farciarz84: how so? is how most distributions work
[11:01] <farciarz84> But I would like to install new version, old has a lack of some things I need
[11:02] <erUSUL> farciarz84: as i said you may check backports or maybe you can get a new package in a ppa or in getdeb.net
[11:02] <zeroXten> heya.. anyone know if full disk encryption key is kept in memory when ubuntu karmic is in hibernate?
[11:02] <intok> farciarz84 tried http://getdeb.net ?
[11:03] <net> yes

[11:10] <meowbuntu> !ask | net
[11:11] <joep> oCean_: Hi, we had little contact yesterday regarding my botched HD. It is still a mystery but I first wnat the following solved.Hi. I have a problem with a Hardy installation from an USB-stick. I want to add some packages to it but that won't work as it says:E: Unable to write mmap - msync (28 No space left on device). However, the USB stick has still 1 GB free, however, it is formatted as FAT32 (standard when making an OS on an USB-stick). I wonde
[11:11] <joep> r if anybody knows how to overcome this problem.
[11:11] <net> thank you for easy ubottu
[11:11] <meowbuntu> !ask | joep
[11:12] <meowbuntu> joep, how much space is left in the homefolder i wonder
[11:13] <jm95> is the newest ktorrent in the repo
[11:13] <guntbert> !latest | jm95
[11:13] <net> I am looking for friend who are like to pen testing
[11:13] <oCean_> snicore: install mozilla-mplayer, that'll let you run divx
[11:13] <guntbert> !ot | net
[11:14] <joep> meowbuntu: Well that's the problem. It is an USB-stick of 2 GB and 1 GB is free. However I don't know what linux does with a FAT32 partition.
[11:14] <oCean_> joep: not familiair with that problem, maybe you have to re-format the stick?
[11:14] <meowbuntu> joe75, how big is the os on drive
[11:15] <meowbuntu> ^ joep
[11:15] <meowbuntu> joep, how big is os install on flash drive
[11:16] <meowbuntu> is it an 8gig partition ????
[11:16] <meowbuntu> oops
[11:16] <meowbuntu> no it cant be. is it live install on usb
[11:16] <meowbuntu> ^ joep
[11:16] <fresno> gotta untar a heap of files to get a usb mobile stick modem going. and some .deb files, how do I do that? double click from desktop ? do I need to sudo em or what ?
[11:17] <meowbuntu> sorry joep i dont know
[11:17] <joep> meowbuntu: Well, I'm afraid that will not solve the problem as the OS is installed using the USb creator function in SYStem -> administration.
[11:17] <hiexpo> hello all good morning
[11:18] <joep> meowbuntu: thanks for the try. I hope somebody else has an idea.
[11:18] <guntbert> !hi | hiexpo
[11:18] <meowbuntu> joep, how does that set up os on flash drive
[11:18] <mmy> Hi
[11:18] <hiexpo> :)
[11:19] <jm95> thx ubottu what wud be the command to update thru terminal, thanks
[11:19] <meowbuntu> joep, usb-creator needs a live cd or .iso of ubuntu
[11:19] <joep> meowbuntu: I used the function: USB startup DIsk creator which is in my Karmic setting under: SYStem -> administration
[11:20] <hiexpo> hello gunbert & ubottu
[11:20] <iflema> joep gparted
[11:20] <joep> meowbuntu: Of course I installed the OS (in this case Hardy) from a downloaded .iso file.
[11:20] <oCean_> jm95: use "apt-cache policy <packagename>" to see whether there are updates available (in the repositories) for <packagename>
[11:20] <noisymouse> how do I use a saved configuration file when making a kernel?
[11:20] <guntbert> jm95, hiexpo: ubottu is a bot :)
[11:20] <meowbuntu> joep, ok its a live install i'm deffinatly not so clued up on that

[11:24] <hiexpo> oh ok   thanx
[11:24] <jami> Guest26848: just google video for linux v4l on ubuntu
[11:24] <barf> Anyone good at installers?
[11:24] <meowbuntu> hi how do i get my plygged in drives and cd to show on desktop
[11:24] <jami> barf:  just ask
[11:25] <meowbuntu> barf, ask your question
[11:25] <oCean_> Guest26848: that is weird, since packages.ubuntu.com shows: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/lib32v4l-0
[11:25] <meowbuntu> !ask | barf
[11:25] <guntbert> Guest26848: what was the command you used?
[11:25] <barf> I have an embedded system Samsung SyncMaster 400PXn, I am able to reboot the preinstalled Windows XPe, and I tried to install Hackintosh on it
[11:26] <barf> I am not too focused on which OS to run, perhaps MacOS X perhaps Ubuntu
[11:26] <barf> What I need on there is a compositing app
[11:26] <Guest26848> guntbert:sudo apt-get install lib32v4l-0
[11:26] <barf> Similar to Premiere or Motion
[11:26] <jami> barf: check your system components first against the driver tree
[11:27] <ghostcube> kdenlive or kino should work for cutting like in premiere
[11:27] <barf> The problem is in the bootability of the stuff on the USB
[11:27] <barf> I tried with chameleon
[11:27] <jami> barf: embedded devices often based on crude sis chips
[11:27] <guntbert> Guest26848: I guess there is a naming problem somewhere - I'll take a look
[11:27] <barf> jami: how can I find out?
[11:27] <meowbuntu> barf, #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions
[11:27] <barf> Even the BIOS ones?
[11:27] <sdf23> Hi all, i m using crossover 8 on ubuntu 9.04 for ms office 2007. If i upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 will i have to watch for something?
[11:28] <barf> That’s why I asked the silly question in the beginning, to make sure I am not off topic.
[11:28] <oCean_> guntbert: the package does exist in main
[11:28] <jami> barf: the error window is to large. check your compatibility first
[11:29] <barf> Hard disk boot sector invalid
[11:29] <barf> How would I do that jami?
[11:30] <guntbert> oCean_: yes, but !info lib32v4l-0 doesn't show it ...
[11:30] <oCean_> guntbert: indeed. Could it be the architecture? packages.ubuntu.com only shows amd64
[11:30] <jami> barf: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[11:31] <barf> There is already WinXPe installed on the device
[11:31] <meowbuntu> barf, can i pm you
[11:31] <barf> Maybe there is a script that can be run to do the same as lspci?
[11:32] <barf> Go ahead
[11:32] <barf> meowbuntu: sure
[11:32] <oCean_> Guest26848:
[11:32] <oCean_> Guest26848: are you running 32 or 64 bits?
[11:32] <Guest26848> oCean_: 32 bits
[11:33] <oCean_> Guest26848: guntbert that could be it. Packages.ubuntu.com only shows available for amd64 architecture, even being 32bits libs
[11:33] <theadmin> Uh... why do I have "libthai" installed? I don't speek Thai, nor does anyone who uses this comp
[11:33] <guntbert> Guest26848: try sudo apt-get update (to refresh the database) - then sudo apt-get install lib32v4l<tab> (to get autocompletion)
[11:34] <joep> Well, guys, although it is not solved thanks anyway. I will try later.
[11:35] <jm95> how can i remove ktorrent using terminal
[11:36] <myzonez> Is there any particular advantage in using KDE over GNOME?
[11:36] <w_> no
[11:36] <theadmin> jm95: sudo apt-get remove ktorrent
[11:36] <mustu> hi, how can we exclude some IPs from the given range in my dhcpd.conf..
[11:36] <theadmin> myzonez: Not really. Altough some like it more.
[11:36] <MASARUwota> myzonez: more functions easily available, less minimalistic.
[11:37] <w_> kde sucks
[11:37] <w_> poor graphics
[11:37] <robertm85> myzonez: It's simply a personal preference entirely up to the user
[11:37] <hipitihop> Anyone here can help me diagnose a bluetooth keyboard/mouse periodic drop-out ?
[11:37] <MASARUwota> it doesnt, people dont give it enough credit. its a pretty nice environment
[11:37] <jami> jm95: use purge to remove the configs too
[11:37] <oCean_> w_: there's no need for that in this channel. Please stop
[11:37] <theadmin> w_: Many preffer KDE, but I agree with you. It's buggy.
[11:37] <bazhang> !ot
[11:37] <bazhang> lets take the DE chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:37] <oCean_> !software | jm95, read here on how to manage your software:
[11:37] <theadmin> !Equivalents
[11:38] <mickster04> how do i connect to a wpa wireless network with no gui
[11:38] <jm95> i will take a look thx
[11:38] <guntbert> jm95: sudo apt-get remove <package-name>
[11:38] <jami> mickster04: iwconfig
[11:38] <myzonez> theadmin, oh thanks. And I want to upgrade my 9.04 to karmic koala.....and I want to use KDE. but I think I read somewhere that its recommended to update everything using the update manager and then go for the system upgrade. is it true?
[11:38] <theadmin> myzonez: Well, yes, it is
[11:39] <mickster04> jami, well it doesnt seem to be connecting....can u give me a more detailed responce?
[11:39] <Andorin> So it looks like every time I log out, my Visuals preferences get reset from Normal to None. What do I do about this?
[11:40] <Andorin> Visual Effects, rather.
[11:40] <MASARUwota> Andorin: set compiz to start automaticly
[11:40] <hipitihop> My BT keyboard / mouse woks for a while and then drops out. I have to re-insert dongle and sometimes re-pair to get it back, where do I look to see why this is happening ?
[11:41] <MASARUwota> Andorin: add 'compiz --replace' to autostart
[11:41] <jami> mickster04: the manpage will give you detailed responce. man ifconfig, iwup, iwdown.
[11:41] <myzonez> theadmin: oh. So I guess i'll install KDE after the upgrade. But the peculiar thing is, I can't find 'KDE' in my synaptic manager...though I can use the apt-get stuff, I notice that a lot of things are missing...I was using ubuntu before and I had to format my computer....I installed this again from the very same cd. Any idea what's wrong? I think canonical withdrew the support for jaunty
[11:41] <Andorin> MASARUwota: K
[11:41] <theadmin> myzones: That is called "kubuntu-desktop", not "KDE" by now
[11:42] <myzonez> theadmin, and Kubuntu is an entirely different thing? I mean I can'
[11:42] <myzonez> theadmin, can I have gnome and Kde together? (although its not very useful to do so.)
[11:42] <theadmin> myzonez: It's not different, it's the same except the fact that it uses KDE over GNOME. And yes, you can.
[11:42] <_nmap> Does anyone knows a software to see if my fingerprint reader is instaled properly?
[11:43] <hipitihop> _nmap, is it usb attached ?
[11:43] <_nmap> hipitihop, yes
[11:43] <mike_k> is it possible to set up a wubi install without being in windows?
[11:43] <myzonez> theadmin, and its better if u use either kde or gnome?
[11:43] <myzonez> theadmin, and not both?
[11:43] <theadmin> Can anyone tell me of a normal CLI text editor? Neither emacs nor other stuff makes sense
[11:43] <hipitihop> _nmap, so what do you get from "lsusb"
[11:43] <theadmin> myzonez: Well, if you wanna save space, otherwise no
[11:43] <Guest26848> guntbert: still can't find it
[11:43] <jami> theadmin: vim
[11:43] <mike_k> windows freezes within minutes of starting up
[11:44] <theadmin> jami: Will try in a sec
[11:44] <hipitihop> theadmin, nano
[11:44] <iflema> nano
[11:44] <mike_k> live cd lunix doesnt, so im suspecting its a hard drive issue
[11:44] <amikrop> Hello, recently, the a button, when I press it, writes down something like adsf and lowers the volume.
[11:44] <amikrop> Is that a recent bug?
[11:44] <amikrop> "a" button
[11:44] <theadmin> hipitihop: Hey, thanks, this is very simple, just what I need :D
[11:44] <woru2> anyone knows a software to make e-cards in linux?
[11:44] <hipitihop> amikrop, sounds more like a stuck gummey key on your keyboard
[11:45] <myzonez> theadmin, And KDE stands for K development environment. And there's no way to run amarok on gnome?
[11:45] <zfx> pulse audio better than alsa or both same?
[11:45] <jami> theadmin: editors like nano have nearly no features
[11:45] <_nmap> hipitihop, humm the hardware is listed on lsusb response..
[11:45] <oCean_> amikrop: i agree with hipitihop must be defected keyboard
[11:45] <guntbert> Guest26848: strange - I could install it fine (but I'm on 64bit) - what happens when you type sudo aptitude install lib32v4<tab> ?
[11:45] <theadmin> myzonez: Why there is, just install it, it will also get some KDE libraries but it will run on GNOME just fine
[11:46] <zfx> pulse audio better than alsa or both same?

[11:46] <myzonez> theadmin, Thanks.....does KDE look better? :)
[11:46] <oCean_> guntbert: I really don't know why it's not in the repos. It *is* on LP: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libv4l/0.6.0-1/+build/1126156
[11:47] <QPrime> jami: nano no features? really?  simplicity is a feature ;)
[11:47] <theadmin> myzonez: Well, yes, it does a bit... altough GNOME+Compiz+Those awesome desktop effects is better then KDE
[11:47] <mike_k> is there a live cd i can set up with tests nvidia 3d hardware acceleration?
[11:47] <GG19>  edit the resolution of my video? I recorded my desktop with gtk-recordmydesktop but I want to save the video at maybe 50% the size.

[11:47] <oCean_> Guest26848: nono, <tab> means *press* the <tab>key
[11:47] <GG19> anyone know of a good vieo editer to do that?
[11:48] <guntbert> Guest26848: ah - with <tab> I mean press the tab-key
[11:48] <guntbert> oCean_: I'm certain it *is* in the repos
[11:48] <myzonez> theadmin, well, compiz won't work on mine....no graphics card, and a really problematic VIA onboard
[11:48] <Andorin> MASARUwota: I added compiz --replace to the startup applications, but it didn't run when I logged in.
[11:48] <Guest26848> sorry
[11:48] <theadmin> myzonez: Don't go with KDE then, it's quite... hungry on video cards
[11:48] <hipitihop> _nmap, ok, what line lsits your device ?
[11:49] <oCean_> guntbert: yep, just not the i386 build.
[11:49] <myzonez> theadmin, Thank god u said that. My system would have crashed or something!!! Even the display goes crappy on Gnome sometimes...and the worst part is, there's no official drivers for my chipset....so its either Vesa or the openchrom drivers....and both doesn't support 3-d drawing
[11:50] <barf> Anyone here with experience in running linux on embedded devices?
[11:50] <hipitihop> _nmap, still there ?

[11:51] <abu> hi i installed ubuntu9.10 and 9.04 but 9.04 is not working properly from morning plz help me how to repair that
[11:51] <Guest26848> guntbert: it wroteCouldn't find any package whose name or description matched "lib32v4"
[11:51] <amikrop> hipitihop: how can I fix it? it showed up yesterday first time
[11:52] <hipitihop> _nmap, the important information is 00ff:5731 you may want to google that along with ubuntu... the lsusb atleast tells you that your system can see the device plugged in
[11:52] <theadmin> myzonez: KDE is way hungry actually... If you wanna something productive go with XFCE it's really fast. Altough, GNOME is medium and if it works fine, keep that
[11:52] <abu> hello
[11:52] <abu> hi i installed ubuntu9.10 and 9.04 but 9.04 is not working properly from morning plz help me how to repair that
[11:53] <abu> any one help me
[11:53] <GG19> I watched this youtube video of someones Ubuntu setup and I seen some kind of animation of fire under his mouse and it had a trail effect when he moved it does anyone know what that program might be?
[11:53] <theadmin> abu: Don't repeat, that's first. Next, please give more details. What do you get? Any errors or such?
[11:53] <paulus> Hi
[11:53] <QPrime> jami: I hear ya... but I'd say that most people in #ubuntu are just looking for a (fairly) simple editor cli based editor to muck with config files.  nano usually fits the bill pretty well (or joe if you're feeling freaky)
[11:54] <paulus> Last week I upgraded my desktop to Karmic Koala
[11:54] <paulus> for some reason my NIC is no longer working
[11:55] <abu> in 9.04 blink the desktop
[11:55] <abu> what i do
[11:55] <zacard> any1 got problem with grub2 after running windows ?-_-
[11:55] <guntbert> Guest26848: that is really strange - ah wait
[11:55] <theadmin> abu: it seems your X server is broken.
[11:55] <paulus> the driver is loaded, and ethtool sees the device but says 'no link detected'
[11:55] <abu> how i repaire
[11:55] <jami> paulus: did you overwriting some configs during upgrade
[11:56] <Arabus> QPrime: I would vouch for vi instead, since most of its usage reappears in many unix applications
[11:56] <amikrop> oCean_: And what can I do to fix that keyboard problem? It just showed up yesterday first time, while I have the Ubuntu installation for years.
[11:56] <guntbert> Guest26848: you said you are on 32bit architecture?
[11:56] <paulus> it's a Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)
[11:56] <jami> Arabus: vi is a very very painful tool
[11:56] <theadmin> abu: I'm not sure. Try booting into the recovery mode and then running the "Repair graphical problems" from the menu that appears
[11:56] <hipitihop> _nmap, do you know what model it is ?
[11:57] <abu> i have already tried
[11:57] <hipitihop> amikrop, sorry, I think I may be answering too many people and lost track ;-)
[11:57] <meowbuntu> theadmin, what are the commands to repair graphical problems  ?????
[11:57] <QPrime> Arabus: fair enough.  don't wanna start an editor fire-fight. nano seems to sit well with most casual users.
[11:57] <theadmin> meowbuntu: Uh, it was in 9.04, they seemed to remove it in 9.10. Was in menu... uh... xfix or fixx or something
[11:57] <Guest26848> guntbert:i think so
[11:58] <jami> meowbuntu: check your X11 log!!!em
[11:58] <_nmap> hipitihop, is this one here: http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=biopod-ec&tab=features
[11:58] <guntbert> Guest26848: then you will need libv4l-0 - please try it
[11:58] <meowbuntu> jami, how to do that
[11:58] <paulus> I've netbooted into kubuntu with  a 2.6.27-7 kernel
[11:58] <Guest26848> guntbert:cose skype fork only when i instal 32 version
[11:58] <paulus> and here the NIC works fine
[11:58] <meowbuntu> paulus, join #kubuntu
[11:59] <paulus> I don't have a problem with kubuntu
[11:59] <paulus> I've netbooted into kubuntu because ubuntu has a problem with the nic
[11:59] <guntbert> !enter | paulus
[11:59] <hipitihop> _nmap, any other devices listed by lsusb that might be the one ?
[11:59] <meowbuntu> paulus, #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions #kubuntu is the kubuntu support channel
[11:59] <jami> meowbuntu: tail -n 200 /var/log/Xorg.0.log     look for errors
[12:00] <oCean_> guntbert: that would be the 0.5.9. - at least that's what's on LP
[12:00] <sam__> anyone know how I can use sed to grab a load of txt files and dump them in a seperate folder? find . -name \*.txt -exec sed??? {} /again \;
[12:00] <paulus> I know, I'm trying to get support for ubuntu - kubuntu is running fine thankyou but my system is an ubuntu box
[12:01] <guntbert> oCean_: for karmic it should be 0.6.0.1
[12:01] <jrib> sam__: why sed?
[12:01] <oCean_> guntbert: just noticed the naming difference on LP too ... :/
[12:01] <sam__> or any other tool, sed was suggested here yesterday
[12:01] <_nmap> hipitihop, The is a Elan Microeletronics Corp. I dont know what is this... Any other devices listed i know what is... sry for my bad english
[12:02] <jrib> sam__: why not « cp » ?
[12:02] <Andorin> So guys... I added compiz --replace to my startup applications so that it runs when I log in. (Somehow I guess it got turned off.) But it still doesn't run on login. Why?
[12:02] <sam__> OK how do I make the output of cp dump files in a folder?
[12:03] <jrib> Andorin: the proper way is to use System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Desktop Effects
[12:03] <jrib> sam__: cp copies files.  Tell it to copy the file « find » found to /again.
[12:03] <Andorin> jrib: I know. But the Visual Effects are getting reset to None every time I log in.
[12:03] <jrib> Andorin: does it happen with a new user?
[12:04] <qualitang> ubuntu 8.10, network manager won't automatically reconnect to wireless network after a router reboot. Any ideas?..
[12:04] <jrib> sam__: if you need a -exec example to work from, check "man find"
[12:04] <Andorin> jrib: I'd have to create another account to find out, but off the top of my head, I doubt it will.
[12:04] <geekyogi> I just broke the key 'u' on my keyboard... any app to map the key with other key like ctrl...???
[12:04] <jrib> Andorin: then create another account so you can find out...
[12:04] <jami> qualitang: give your a few min to boot
[12:04] <jrib> geekyogi: you can probably use xmodmap
[12:05] <sam__> sudo find . -name \*.txt -exec cp {} /folder \;
[12:05] <sam__>  does not seem to create the directory 'folder'
[12:05] <mark__0> hi, is there a way to make 'top' just dump out the process list once without refreshing?
[12:05] <jrib> sam__: create it...
[12:05] <jami> qualitang: give your rooter a few min to boot i mean
[12:05] <geekyogi> k.. will try tat.. :) thanks..
[12:05] <paulus> So I had upgrade to karmic with a 2.6.31 kernel, and the NIC worked OK until this morning
[12:05] <jrib> mark__0: maybe you want "-b" ?
[12:05] <sam__> $ mkdir folder
[12:05] <sam__> sam@sam-laptop:~/span/Onespace site data$ sudo find . -name \*.txt -exec cp {} /folder \;
[12:05] <sam__> sam@sam-laptop:~/span/Onespace site data$ cd fol
[12:05] <sam__> bash: cd: fol: No such file or directory
[12:05] <sam__> sam@sam-laptop:~/span/Onespace site data$ cd folder/
[12:05] <FloodBot4> sam__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:05] <sam__> sam@sam-laptop:~/span/Onespace site data/folder$ ls
[12:06] <theadmin> Can anyone tell why netstat gives a buncha weird lines starting with "unix" at the end of list? That's not even a protocol
[12:06] <sam__> jrib, http://pastebin.ca/1757319
[12:06] <jami> theadmin: that might be system sockets
[12:06] <paulus> The b44 module is still loaded, and the device shows up in the messsages, but not in the ifconfig output
[12:06] <theadmin> jami: Ah, makes sense. Thanks
[12:06] <jrib> sam__: first of all, why are you using sudo?  You copied the files to /folder, not ~/.../folder
[12:07] <Andorin> jrib: No.
[12:07] <jrib> Andorin: it works fine on a new account?
[12:07] <qualitang> jami: no matter how long i wait, the network manager will just sit there, waiting for me to confirm the WEP key, i just have to press OK and it will reconnect, won't do it automatically, even though it already has the key...
[12:07] <Andorin> jrib: Yeah.
[12:07] <iflema> mark__0 top -d 10 would refresh every 10 sec
[12:07] <sam__> without sudo; cp: cannot create regular file `/folder': Permission denied
[12:08] <jrib> sam__: because "/folder" is not the same as "~/.../folder"
[12:08] <jami> qualitang: you have to save your password
[12:08] <jrib> sam__: /folder is an absolute path.
[12:09] <Asad> I am getting this error while trying to install virtualbox non-free: http://pastebin.com/d2c1b219b  :s
[12:09] <qualitang> jami: password is saved, it just waits for me to press OK to reconnect, i don't have to put the password in again..
[12:10] <theadmin> sam__: Yeah, for a relative path use, like, ./folder
[12:10] <theadmin> (I guess)
[12:10] <jami> qualitang: a mom i got that behaviour on my own
[12:10] <sam__> OK working now, thanks all
[12:10] <jrib> Andorin: well now we're sure it's a configuration issue.  First, get rid of that startup command you added.  I believe Desktop Effects uses gconf, so check your permissions on gconf.  Do you know how to do this?
[12:11] <Andorin> jrib: Sure, hold on
[12:11] <jami> qualitang: but after a fail connection the NM works again
[12:11] <tishamme1> what is the policy to set CLASSPATH systemwide?
[12:11] <jrib> tishamme1: /etc/environment is probably best
[12:12] <Andorin> jrib: Actually, the "checking permissions w/ gconf" bit is new to me.
[12:12] <livingdaylight> hello
[12:12] <ubuntu_> hi
[12:12] <jrib> tishamme1: or maybe /etc/profile
[12:12] <ubuntu_> i need some help
[12:12] <tishamme1> jrib: ok. is there a policy about what dir i should put there? meaning: where is the dir for jar extensions? where does ubuntu packages install java ext libraries?
[12:12] <livingdaylight> how do i reduce a jpg in size as in mb size. For eg. from 5mb to 4mb
[12:12] <jrib> Andorin: find ~/.gconf ~/.config ! -user $USER      should be a start
[12:13] <jrib> tishamme1: oh, that.  I don't know
[12:13] <ubuntu_> im soooo f#$%%
[12:13] <tishamme1> jrib: ok thanks
[12:13] <qualitang> jami: this kinda describes my problem better.. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1244552.html
[12:13] <jrib> tishamme1: dpkg -L will list paths a package installed if that helps
[12:13] <Andorin> jrib: No output.
[12:14] <VELENOSO> irc:///drive-in
[12:14] <ubuntu_> i accidentally erased the drive (thanks to my 2 year old niece pushing buttons) that had ubuntu on it
[12:15] <jrib> Andorin: alright, guess we have to figure out how exactly Desktop Effects stores the setting
[12:15] <blackest_knight> Anyone willing to allow an ssh login ?
[12:15] <tishamme1> ubuntu_: will a monkey randomly typing on a keyboard type "sudo rm -rf /" ?
[12:15] <jrib> blackest_knight: no, don't ask for that here.  There are plenty of shell providers on google
[12:16] <DJones> !danger | tishamme1
[12:16] <ubuntu_> now im getting error 17
[12:16] <jrib> won't work anyway
[12:16] <ubuntu_> nah i was in winxp
[12:16] <tishamme1> DJones: i know, i was answering to ubuntu_'s issue with his niece
[12:16] <DJones> jrib: Ah yes, I see now, its wrong way round

[12:17] <tishamme1> jrib: ahahah, didn't know that
[12:17] <VELENOSO_> irc:///mega_fantasy
[12:17] <DJones> jrib: INteresting to know that, hadn't heard of that
[12:17] <jrib> VELENOSO_: stop doing that please

[12:17] <iflema> Asad @ the bottom
[12:17] <VELENOSO_> irc:///mega_fantasy
[12:18] <jami> qualitang: yes thats my problem too!
[12:18] <hipitihop> _nmap, don't worry about your English. Nut you will need to understand the real manufacturer of your device and then you should be able to find if there is a driver available for it
[12:18] <LjL> VELENOSO_: don't do that please
[12:18] <Andorin> jrib: Alrighty, I'm fine with that.
[12:19] <jrib> Andorin: I think there's a key for the window manager gnome uses in gconf.  You should be able to find it if you search for "compiz" or "metacity" in key values (I don't have desktop effects).  See if that's what gets changed when you toggle the setting in the gui.  Also someone in #compiz might just know
[12:19] <qualitang> jami: lol.. gotta find somethin to fix it!.. wonder is there a script you could run to check network staus and connect if disconnected.. or another network manager?
[12:19] <Armageddon> how do I make a user a sudoer ?
[12:20] <jrib> Armageddon: add him/her to the admin group
[12:20] <Armageddon> jrib, thanks
[12:21] <hipitihop> _nmap, this might also help: do "sudo mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb" and then "sudo cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" you should be able to find the same device id's but also now see what driver is laoded if any.
[12:21] <barf> Anyone got a clue on how to run Ubuntu on this: http://pastebin.com/f26e6cc08

[12:22] <sapastra> cojonudo jejeje
[12:22] <hipitihop> _nmap, that is all I can help with at the moment. Once you know what the real manufacturer is then you will be able to see what driver you need and if it is loaded.

[12:29] <jm95> what version does that install please amikrop
[12:31] <GG19> im having trouble with cairo dock
[12:31] <GG19> I get a black box around it and its all glitchy
[12:32] <jm95> amikrop: is that the 3.3.3 version
[12:32] <AshishMalik> when i try to run nautilus in fluxbox (ubuntu), desktop icon appears, desktop background is set to the that i have in gnome, and i can't access the applications by right clicking on the desktop. Any help ?
[12:32] <amikrop> jm95: I am not sure
[12:33] <amikrop> jm95: try and see ;)
[12:33] <underdev> i have added a ppa and checked "apt-cache policy", and i see it at the top of the version table.  Now if i "apt-get install" the package, will the ppa version (latest and greatest) be installed, or do i have to specify it in some way?
[12:33] <amikrop> hipitihop: do you have any ideas? :)
[12:33] <underdev> ie, can i tell apt that i want to prefer files from the ppa?
[12:34] <pjotr> AshishMalik: nautilus --no-desktop
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> the ppa versions always seem to take presidence here underdev
[12:35] <underdev> okay, thanks.  I'M GOING FOR IT :)
[12:35] <Guest1530> i have a .iso setup in external drive, how can i boot a pc without writing this iso on cd
[12:36] <jm95> amikrop: its only an old version
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> Guest1530:  you can set up grub2 to boot a iso file - depending on the disrto On the iso file
[12:36] <DJones> Guest1530: To install ubunutu from an iso?
[12:36] <Guest1530> yes
[12:36] <Guest1530> 9.10
[12:37] <underdev> Dr_Willis: ty, yes it prefered the newer packages in the PPA
[12:37] <underdev> appreciate your help
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> Guest1530:  you can install grub2 to the external drive and make a proper grub.cfg to boot the iso file
[12:37] <GG19> okay bigger problem i cant even close the cairo dock now I tell it to exit and it reopens
[12:37] <obiwan_> maybe there's a daemon relaunching it
[12:37] <Guest1530> Dr_willis: need some more explanation
[12:37] <jami> Guest1530: tried unetbootin?
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | Guest1530
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> Guest1530:  also see my list of links at http://delicious.com/dr_willis under the grub2 tags
[12:38] <AshishMalik> how do i get to know how many packets or bytes of data is outgoing and incoming in my ubuntu ? Plzz help  . .
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> Guest1530:  prioberly easier to use unetbootin and a spare flash drive to make a bootable 'installer flash ddrive'
[12:39] <hipitihop> amikrop, the only idea I have is that it sounds like a broken or dirty keyboard with one or more of the keys sticking.
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> AshishMalik:  thers various network monitor tools. conky can do it, as can gkrellem and proberly a dozen others if you want 'realtime' status. If you want in depth analisys - theres ntop
[12:40] <DJones> Guest1530: If you've got a usb key and your machine is capeable of booting from usb in the bios settings, you could create a bootable usb key and install from that
[12:40] <amikrop> hipitihop: it is a laptop keyboard, so, I shouldn't remove any keys for cleaning, right?

[12:40] <Dr_Willis> amikrop:  i find that laptop keys normally dont pop off.
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> amikrop:  at least not in the same ways that many desktop keyboards do -  :)
[12:41] <Guest1530> thanks
[12:41] <hipitihop> amikrop, so you need to eliminate that possibility. One way is to plug in another keyboard. If it works, then you know it is your keyboard. If the problem persists then we would have to look elsewhere. since you do not have naother one, then the only other thing I can think of is to try and clean the keybaord and make sure there is nothing stuck between keys etc.
[12:42] <AshishMalik> thanks
[12:43] <hipitihop> amikrop, I am not a hardware person so I have no idea about laptop keyboards so yes I would advise caution removing anything. A lot of keyboards are usb these days, a frined have one you can borrow ?
[12:43] <sravan> Will "sed -i -e '97d' /home/sravan/Desktop/file.txt"  comment out 97th line in that file or remove that line of the file ?
[12:43] <sravan> Sorry for asking a question which is not topic of this channel
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> I though the 'd' option in sed deleted..
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> sravan:  make a backup iof the file and try it and see what it does. :)
[12:44] <hipitihop> amikrop, if you really suspect software as the problem, then why don't you boot it from a live-cd
[12:45] <amikrop> hipitihop, Dr_Willis: OK, thank you, I 'll try what you both suggested.
[12:46] <JonathanEllis> I have a question about Google Chrome. I cant find any info on the Smart Bookmarks button. The folder just stays empty and there is an "Other Bookmarks" button which has all my bookmarks in it. What is Smart Bookmarks for?

[12:46] <hipitihop> amikrop, good luck.
[12:46] <David12841> hey, anyone knows a good audio player where i can select music from folders instead of albums/artists?
[12:47] <JonathanEllis> David12841: I think Amarok might do what you want
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> David12841:  most of them ive seen can do that..  Or just drag/drop the whole folder to the player and it makes a playlist for that directory
[12:48] <jami> qualitang: a heartbeat simulated by a ping =)
[12:48] <David12841> i tried banshee, rythmbox and listen and they cant handle it Dr_Willis
[12:48] <David12841> i'll try amarok JonathanEllis
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> or you are overlooking how it does it.  But i tend to just use audacious.
[12:49] <qualitang> jami: lol
[12:49] <qualitang> jami: havn't got time to try it now..
[12:49] <yamaha> Dr_Willis; have a nice day.
[12:49] <mercutio22> David12841: in Rhythmbox you can create a playlist with files from a particular folder
[12:49] <qualitang> jami: will try in a few days.... exams are upon me...!
[12:50] <arand> David12841: I like gmusicbrowser for that very purpose
[12:50] <jve> Hi all, I have got a weird problem. When i play audio the sound is crackling but if i open the puse volume control (pavucontrol) the crackling stops and as long as i have the control window open the audio sounds fine. If i close the volume control the audio starts crackling again.
[12:50] <arand> David12841: I also know decibel is a very simplistic one that does just that
[12:50] <David12841> its not what i need mercutio22, i have a huge collection of classical music, and a lot of it doesnt have an artist/album labelling that works
[12:50] <jami> qualitang: Thats nice and will work because it will restart the nm. But what did it do when there is no network attached
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> I just drag/drop a directory to Rythmbox;s playlist and it adds the files from the directory..
[12:51] <AshishMalik> exaile music player does not show lyrics when i play a song. How do i do it ?
[12:51] <mercutio22> David12841: as I said, you can create the playlist containing the files from a folder, irrespective of metadata quality.
[12:51]  * Dr_Willis seconds what mercutio22  says
[12:51] <qualitang> jami: haven't tried it yet...
[12:52] <jami> qualitang: don't forget to test that point :)
[12:52] <plitter> does anyone have fulltilt poker working on ubuntu 9.10?
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> plitter:  is that a windows game? or what
[12:53] <misterB> anybody know of a free VPN service that works with Ubunut?
[12:53] <slumber_> hi
[12:53] <qualitang> jami: will do! cheers man...!
[12:53] <jami> misterB: openvpn?
[12:54] <plitter> Dr_Willis: its a windows game, installed it with wine, but it didnt start....
[12:54] <misterB> jami: Yeah, but problem is I need to know if there's a free service available out there that uses openvpn
[12:54] <slumber_> how i get permission to handle partitions on partition manager?
[12:55] <jami> plitter: did you check the compatibility on winehq.org?
[12:55] <epinky> !appdb
[12:55] <jami> misterB: In most cases your company has the other end X)
[12:56] <David12841> mercutio22: is it possible to have a list of al my cd's as a collection of folders in rythmbox?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis_> Hmm.. i think i enabled my free vpn and got hung up. :)
[12:56] <misterB> jami: yeah, I know. Here's the situation. I'm in a country blocking facebook among other sites, and trying to get access.
[12:56] <AshishMalik> Hey guys, My EXAILE PLayer is not showing lyrics after i play a song. Can u help me ?????
[12:56] <mercutio22> David12841: no, I see what you mean
[12:56] <slumber_> ow i get permission to handle partitions on partition manager?
[12:57] <Myrtti> AshishMalik: there is a plugin you can install
[12:57] <sash_> slumber_: gksu
[12:57] <Dr_Willis_> slumber_:  run the partion manager as root.
[12:57] <jami> misterB: what?
[12:57] <AshishMalik> Myrtti: I enabled it, still no success
[12:57] <chris|> AshishMalik, try #exaile
[12:57] <slumber_> tks
[12:57] <mercutio22> David12841: indeed that would be a cool feature to have to mass-solve the metadata problem.
[12:57] <David12841> arand decibel doesn't work from the repositories
[12:57] <AshishMalik> ok..
[12:58] <plitter> jami: it seems like it is compatible for the latest version of winehq, going to try to install it and see
[12:58] <David12841> i know amarok did have it mercutio22
[12:58] <misterB> jami: hotspotshield works for windows, but I can't find anything analogous to hotspotshield for linux
[12:58] <David12841> i'm installing it now to check if it still does have that feature
[12:59] <jami> misterB: isn't that a firewall tool?
[12:59] <jrib> misterB: there are lots of free (or really cheap) shell providers that you could use
[12:59] <knxville> Is there a command to move files named for example: number1, number2, number3.. so it's like "mv number1+2+3+4+5+6 ./numbers" ?!
[12:59] <mjrosenb> hey, i seem to be unable to upgrade this laptop from intrepid
[12:59] <mjrosenb> anyone have any ideas?
[12:59] <mercutio22> David12841: alright.. tell me what you find out
[12:59] <misterB> jrib: care to point me in any sort of direction?
[13:00] <geojanm> hi.. i try to view a wmv video in openoffice but there is always a "?"... converting with vlc oder handbrake does not work, any ideas?
[13:00] <geojanm> but playing with vlc is ok
[13:00] <misterB> jami: hotspotshield is free VPN service
[13:01] <jami> misterB: ah ok :) mixed it up with hotspotshield . com
[13:01] <David12841> it still does have that feature mercutio22, i can make you a screenshot if you want
[13:01] <David12841> but amaroks interface is ugly :s
[13:01] <jami> the new one
[13:02] <jami> yes it's ugly
[13:02] <David12841> i want a gnome interface for amarok :p
[13:02] <jami> build one
[13:03] <Emry> Are there any special instructions to follow with the 9.10 Netbook remix under vista? For some reason it lets me select the thumb drive and select an amount of reserved space, but does not let me click the Make Startup Disk Button.
[13:03] <hipitihop> are there any bt hardware diagnostics I can run for my dongle/keyboard/mouse
[13:03] <shenery> Hi guys really new to Ubuntu and ive got all my stuff working accept my graphtech plotter
[13:04] <arand> Emry: I think you might have to reformat the usb..
[13:04] <hipitihop> alternatively what log can I monitor from the bluetooth stack to diagnose periodic keyboard/mouse drop out
[13:04] <mjrosenb> nobody knows why i would be unable to upgrade from intrepid to *anything* newer?
[13:04] <pjotr> knxville: mv number?
[13:04] <shenery> there is a tutorial online but i can seem to get it working
[13:04] <Emry> arand, :-) Reformatting now. ^_^  Fat32 is ok?
[13:05] <shenery> this is the webpage i fond with the driver http://vidar.gimp.org/graphtecprint/
[13:06] <arand> Emry: hmm, might work, although I'm not sure what the usb creator will use in the end..
[13:07] <Johnny_425> ubuntu 9.10 won't remember my network settings
[13:08] <Audible> quick question
[13:08] <Audible> the ubuntu installer
[13:08] <Audible> and partitioner
[13:08] <choonming> can someone point me how to create a legend box in dia?
[13:08] <Audible> does it resize the partition, or does it repartition it ( so you have to reinstall windows if you make an additional ubuntu partition )
[13:08] <Johnny_425> It resizes the partition
[13:09] <noXandOs> So I am comfortable enough to stop running Ubuntu via virtualbox and actually install it on my pc. Is there a certain way I need to remove it or can I just uninstall virtualbox?
[13:09] <knxville> pjotr: im aware of the command to move a single file, but if I want to move like 100 files, starting from file1 -> file 100.
[13:09] <Audible> Johnnny : so it doesnt delete Windows partition if i choose to install it ?
[13:09] <DJones> Audible: It will do either depending on what you ask, if you're resizing though, its always worth making a backup beforehand in case something goes wrong
[13:09] <arand> Audible: depends on what you choose, default is resize and create a new ubuntu alongside
[13:09] <Audible> okey, and keep the windows with a smaller side?
[13:09] <knxville> noXandOs, What do you mean?
[13:09] <Johnny_425> If you don't choose to install it on the whole disk
[13:10] <Audible> yep
[13:10] <choonming> can someone point me how to create a legend box in dia?
[13:10] <Johnny_425> Audible: If you don't choose to install it on the whole disk
[13:10] <arand> Audible: yes, it should be clear what it's doing from the installer screen.
[13:10] <knxville> noXandOs, you can just uninstall virtual box, and install ubuntu on your partition.
[13:10] <timwood> Good morning
[13:10] <noXandOs> ok
[13:10] <pjotr> knxville, mv number*
[13:10] <zvacet> Audible: it can resize or delete,create new ones depends what do you want to do
[13:11] <noXandOs> i am gonna try to go 7 days without using windows
[13:11] <timwood> Can someone help me figure out why a ssh fingerprint from a server might have changed.
[13:11] <knxville> pjotr: thanks... so it's just the "filename*" the * indicating everything starting with filename?
[13:11] <Johnny_425> GOOD BYE
[13:11] <Audible> noXandOs : depending on what programs you run everyday, you'll be happy
[13:11] <noXandOs> i dont do anything special
[13:12] <Audible> if its watching porn and reading email then linux is the right for you
[13:12] <sipior> timwood: installation of a new operating system is a common culprit.
[13:12] <noXandOs> ive just never felt helpless in front of a computer before in my life
[13:12] <timwood> As far as I can tell, the public key has not changed.  Only things that changed between when I last connected was an update of openssl was applied.
[13:12] <knxville> noXandOs, It's really easy... Just use this forum or google.. It find it much easier to get help as a linux user than a windows user.
[13:12] <noXandOs> it kinda sucks
[13:12] <zvacet> noXandOs:  why do you use windows
[13:12] <noXandOs> because it came with my pc
[13:12] <noXandOs> :/
[13:12] <brijith> Guys help needed. I was having dual boot Xp and ubuntu. What happened is when I removed Xp I lost the boot loaded how can I restore, I have ubuntu9.10 install CD with me
[13:12] <timwood> sipior: are you aware of any tests I can run or things I can check to see why the fingerprint changed?  I've checked and there is no man in the middle involved.
[13:13] <mjrosenb> can anyone think of any reason that a machine running intrepid would not want to upgrade?
[13:13] <arand> brijith: did you fresh install ubuntu, (not upgrade from 9.04?)
[13:13] <zvacet> noXandOs: good point  ;)  you will get used to Ubuntu just give it some tome
[13:13] <noXandOs> i like ubuntu but the file system scares me
[13:13] <brijith> arand:no it was there when I removed Xp
[13:14] <sipior> timwood: check the timestamps on the host keys in /etc/ssh
[13:14] <noXandOs> i know what my old man feels like when he is sitting in front of a compter
[13:14] <arand> brijith: yes but initially when you installed ubuntu, did you install 9.10?
[13:14] <zvacet> noXandOs:  nothing to be scared of just one step at the tome what you don't know just ask here or on forums
[13:14] <brijith> yes
[13:14] <timwood> sipior: I did via a regular ls -lrt command.  Could you give me some better commands to run to check timestamps?
[13:15] <arand> brijith: ok, then the bootloader will be grub2.
[13:15] <brijith> arand: sorry it is not 9.10 it ts 9.04
[13:15] <sipior> timwood: ls -l is perfectly fine :-)
[13:15] <llutz> timwood: stat /etc/ssh/ssh_host*
[13:15] <brijith> arand:but the CD I ahve with me now is 9.10
[13:15] <timwood> sipior: ls -l showed last modified months ago.
[13:15] <arand> brijith: ah, then it will be "grub-legacy" Then
[13:15] <timwood> llutz: I will try stat
[13:15] <Emry> If the USB drive is too large, will it ignore it? :/
[13:16] <timwood> Any other ideas before I head down to server room, as I cannot safely connect to the machine via ssh.
[13:16] <sipior> timwood: i think you're making a bit much out of this, frankly.
[13:17] <brijith> arand:can I recover  using  ubunt u9.10 install CD
[13:17] <sipior> timwood: are you the only one responsible for this machine?
[13:17] <timwood> really?  How can I trust my server's identity if it's ssh key fingerprint has changed.
[13:17] <timwood> sipior: yes.
[13:17] <arand> brijith: so from the liveCD you'll first have to install grub ("legacy"), look in synaptic for the package named "grub" it should be version ~0.97 or something, and install that (this will remove the grub-pc package, which is as it should be)
[13:17] <dexterddit> exit
[13:17] <timwood> I'm considering having our CIRT have a look at it just in case.
[13:17] <jrib> timwood: there was update maybe a year ago that changed keys because they weren't safe, but the update made it clear that it was going to do so
[13:18] <timwood> jrib: got link or update number?  I'll search in the meantime.
[13:18] <timwood> by the way this is a Ubuntu 9.04 server.
[13:19] <brijith> arand:u says I have to go live on 9.10 and install grub
[13:19] <jrib> timwood: if you run updates regularly then it shouldn't be it.  Googling something like "debian ssh fiasco" should get you info about what I'm referring to
[13:19] <timwood> thanks jrib
[13:19] <brijith> arand:will it get installed in the already existing ubuntu installation
[13:20] <timwood> I do run updates regularly and this server hasn't been installed for very long to begin with.  Sometime late last year.
[13:20] <timwood> just before 9.10 came out.
[13:20] <arand> brijith: yes, boot into the liveCD, and then downgrade the temporary version used there from grub2->grub-legacy according to instructions above, no this will only apply to the liveCD temporary environment, but we need that to be able to restore it to the disk in the next step
[13:21] <llutz> timwood: then it shouldn't be affected by that key-change
[13:21] <Draccy> Alrighty. I've upgraded to Karmic and I'd like my old GDM setup back. What do I do?
[13:21] <brijith> arand:oky tell me the steps I will not it down and try it
[13:21] <blinkiz> Hi. I need to find a string in many files. '</div></span></span>' is the string. grep -R '</div></span></span>' ./* did not work. Any suggestion how to solve this?
[13:21] <timwood> So theoretically someone might have gotten "root" on my machine and changed the keys and covered their tracks with regard to timestamps?
[13:22] <sipior> timwood: unlikely, but possible, i suppose. have you reinstalled the openssh package at any time recently?
[13:23] <bicz> hello
[13:23] <arand> brijith: http://pastebin.com/m6360b19a (quoting myself)
[13:23] <timwood> I'll double check on the openssh package, but I don't think so.  I just run the standard updates from ubuntu.
[13:23] <bicz> is it possible to delay programs @ startup?
[13:24] <jrib> bicz: like?
[13:24] <brijith> arand:oky that will install the grub in to the live environment. what I have to do next
[13:24] <brijith> ?
[13:25] <bicz> jrib: i have xchat and emesene in "system-preferences-startup" and i would like to delay them
[13:25] <oistopthat> delay or stop on startup bicz
[13:25] <jrib> bicz: create a shell script and have it "sleep N" where N is the number of seconds, before starting your application
[13:25] <timwood> thanks jrib, llutz and sipior for the advice.
[13:26] <arand> brijith: It'd be good if you could join the chat here from the liveCD, but I could link you to a page of instructions.
[13:26] <mjrosenb> is ubuntu supposed to add repositories other than intrepid at any point in time?
[13:26] <David12841> btw, is there a possibility that i can introduce a volume control button on the taskbar? there is one in the system tray (ubuntu 9.10) but i dont think its very easy to use
[13:26] <masachosa> Hi boys, who is founder of Ubuntu Linux, or Cannonical?
[13:27] <jrib> mjrosenb: what does that mean?  What are you trying to accomplish?
[13:27] <Pici> !sabdfl | masachosa
[13:27] <bicz> jrib: ok thanks u think it will work if in the commannd line i put " sleep 10 xchat " ?
[13:27] <mjrosenb> jrib: i am attempting to upgrade from intrepid to *anything* newer
[13:27] <jrib> bicz: no, and what command line are you takling about?
[13:27] <masachosa> ubottu cosmonaut? :-) Ok, thanks you.
[13:27] <jrib> mjrosenb: jaunty and karmic are both available
[13:27] <mjrosenb> jrib: and nothing seems to know about any newer repositories or package manager
[13:27] <mjrosenb> jrib: i know
[13:28] <jrib> !upgrade > mjrosenb
[13:28] <bicz> the GUI on System -> Preferences
[13:28] <masachosa> And what is Ubuntu, Gnu/Linux or Linux?
[13:28] <bicz> jrib:  the GUI on System -> Preferences
[13:28] <Draccy> Oh wait...
[13:28] <Draccy> Oh god...
[13:28] <Draccy> It can't be configured?!
[13:28] <Draccy> Urgh. ._.
[13:28] <FloodBot1> Draccy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:28] <jrib> bicz: no, you need to create your own little shell script in a text editor.  line 1: #!/bin/bash   line 2:  sleep 10    line 3: xchat
[13:28] <jrib> bicz: then make it executable and add that to your startup
[13:29] <bicz> ok understood tnx
[13:29] <dinosaurvskitten> are there alternatives to skype that a) actually work on linux and b) can connect to skype's network?
[13:29] <zvacet> mjrosenb:  ubuntu will not add  other repos you will have to do it or you done it already
[13:30] <timwood> One more question: is there a command in Ubuntu that will show when a package was installed, compiled/built, released, etc like how Red Hat has rpm -qi package-name?
[13:30] <masachosa> Boys, is there any new Interview with Linus Torvalds? Whats news about him?
[13:30] <zvacet> masachosa:  every distro is gnu/linux
[13:30] <jrib> zvacet: he shouldn't have to add any repositories to upgrade
[13:30] <jrib> !ot | masachosa
[13:30] <eshat> AcroRead freezes with 100% CPU, when I Click Properties on Print Dialog, how to solve this issue ? Reinstalling and removing .adobe didn't help...
[13:30] <bazhang> masachosa, please take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:30] <mjrosenb> jrib: the screen that says "New distribution release '...' is available"
[13:30] <masachosa> goin ubuntu offtopis..sor
[13:30] <mjrosenb> jrib: does not seem to exist
[13:30] <masachosa> sorry
[13:31] <jrib> mjrosenb: did you see the link ubottu gave, it's likely to have some troubleshooting suggestions
[13:31] <zvacet> jrib: I didn't follow from beginning of course not if he want to upgrade via network
[13:31] <arand> brijith: http://pastebin.com/m7361112a should be fairly complete instructions for it, but if something doesn't work, it might be sueful if you could get into this chat from the liveCD, you should be able to do that from Empathy (chat client) I think
[13:32] <davertron> how do i get the same ubuntu menu (the ubuntu symbol) and the "Places" and "Systems" menus on a new panel?
[13:32] <jrib> davertron: right click -> add to panel
[13:32] <R1kARD0> hello
[13:33] <davertron> jrib: ah, Menu Bar
[13:33] <davertron> jrib: I used the other one, that's slightly different, and didn't even notice that one
[13:33] <R1kARD0> hey, i have a little trouble with my session , when i log in the only thing that i see is a terminal, without borders, no panels, nothing
[13:33] <davertron> jrib: thanks
[13:33] <R1kARD0> and only the background,
[13:34] <bicz> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/359012/ ?
[13:34] <nastas> hi all
[13:34] <brijith> arand:Oky thanks, Let me try
[13:34] <timwood> Anyone know of the equivalent command to rpm -qi to show the install date and possibly other information about a package?
[13:35] <llutz> timwood: aptitude show packagename      but no install-date
[13:36] <timwood> llutz:  :-(
[13:36] <timwood> Maybe a feature request I should submit.
[13:36] <sipior> timwood: the logs in /var/log/apt will show the installation date
[13:36] <timwood> thanks sipior!
[13:37] <timwood> thanks again for the help

[13:42] <arvind_khadri> abu, you mean you want to install 9.10 ?
[13:42] <arand> Darael: corrupt profile would be a guess, try running "firefox -P" and creating a new one.
[13:42] <Darael> abu: If you installed with Wubi, remove it from within Windows, otherwise just put something else over the top.  If you're in a dual-boot situation, use the partition manager for whichever OS you want to keep to remove the other partitions.
[13:42] <abu> i already installed both 9.04 and 9.10
[13:42] <silverrocker> hey quick question. I want to the clock/date app in gnome-panel to display the date in another format how can I change this. or what other applet do I need?
[13:43] <Darael> arand: Thanks for the tip, but it segfaults with -P too!
[13:43] <abu> i want to remove 9.04
[13:43] <arvind_khadri> silverrocker, check the properties in the clock applet
[13:43] <arand> Darael: ah, then it's probably something else, and I'm as clueless as you.
[13:43] <silverrocker> arvind_khadri: I tried nothing there
[13:43] <arvind_khadri> abu, use a live cd and just format the partitionm
[13:44] <abu> can you plz tell me how to do that
[13:44] <arvind_khadri> silverrocker, right click on it and you get preferences
[13:44] <silverrocker> arvind_khadri: I did that but I dont want that, I want to change the format that the date is displayed. I want it to do DD.MM.YYYY
[13:44] <arvind_khadri> abu, boot from the live cd, and then go till the partition table step and then format the drive which has 9.04
[13:45] <abu> ok i will try
[13:45] <arand> arvind_khadri: abu: it may be the case that the grub in use is still on the 9.04 partition, which might cause problems if not fixed before removing..
[13:46] <arand> arvind_khadri: abu: Or rather, you'll have to reinstall it from the liveCD..
[13:46] <nastas> problems while playing .mkv movie. any idea???
[13:46] <abu> how i use live cd
[13:46] <abu> live cd meand
[13:46] <arvind_khadri> arand, what if 9.10 was installed after 9.04
[13:46] <abu> ya
[13:47] <linenoise> How do I disable my touchpad?  I googled, but none of the solutions worked.  I'm running karmic on a e6500 (synaptics touchpad client fails to disable touchpad)
[13:47] <linenoise> I mean without taping an insulator over the damn thing.
[13:47] <arand> arvind_khadri: I don't know what it does with the bootloaders if it just overwrites the mbr and uses grub2 on the 9.10 partition, it seems logical it should, but I'm not completely sure...
[13:47] <abu> ok
[13:49] <arvind_khadri> linenoise, system->preferences->mouse ??
[13:49] <linenoise> arvind_khadri: yeah, no
[13:49] <ouyes> hi all how can i make a connection between my htc phone and my laptop via bluetooth?
[13:50] <arvind_khadri> linenoise, does it help?
[13:50] <linenoise> I've installed and tried tpconfig, I've removed the f'ing thing from my xorg.conf (which doesn't exist in karmic anymore, which is stupid), it will not go away
[13:50] <ouyes> i open the bluetooth wizard but it can not find my htc
[13:50] <linenoise> and every time my thumb even comes near it, the stupid pointer flies off the screen
[13:50] <linenoise> arvind_khadri: not at all
[13:50] <linenoise> arvind_khadri: no effect whatsoever
[13:50] <jrib> linenoise: theres' usually a bios setting
[13:51] <linenoise> there is no bios setting on the e6500
[13:51] <arvind_khadri> linenoise, modprobe -r psmouse
[13:51] <Darael> silverrocker: try alt+f2, enter "gconf-editor" and change keys in /apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/prefs - change the fromat key to "custom" and the custom_format key to "%d.%m.%y %r %p" for 12-hour time, or replace the "%r %p" with "%R" for 24-your time.  The dots are just formatting, you can freely change them.
[13:51] <pomas> test
[13:51] <linenoise> arvind_khadri: I still want a mouse (track stick) just not the touchpad
[13:51] <linenoise> arvind_khadri: but thanks
[13:51] <linenoise> arvind_khadri: that will work if nothing else does
[13:51] <arand> !liveCD > abu
[13:52] <pomas> russia?
[13:52] <Darael> Anyone know what might cause segfaults upon launch of Firefox, besides a corrupted profile?
[13:52] <Pici> !ru | pomas
[13:52] <troopperi> !bluetooth
[13:52] <abu> ok
[13:52] <pomas> да шарю я
[13:52] <arvind_khadri> !touchpad | linenoise did you read this?
[13:53] <aimtrainer> irc://irc.zenet.org:6667/pre
[13:53] <jrib> linenoise: right, as that link points out, you can use synclient to do it in software
[13:53] <aimtrainer> oups sry
[13:53] <linenoise> I tried synclient, no love
[13:54] <noisymouse> does make output file names as it compiles them or only after they have compiled?
[13:54] <jrib> linenoise: did you enable shmconfig?
[13:54] <linenoise> yes
[13:54] <jrib> linenoise: and you verified it was enabled?
[13:54] <linenoise> you know... this should not be this difficult... thank you all for your time... I'm not doing this... too frustrating... it works in windows even though I hate windows... sorry.. giving up...
[13:55] <Zta> How do I install the Glassfish appserver properly from packages?  All I get from 'apt-get install glassfish-*' is a bunch for jar files installed.  I'm particularly interested in 'asadmin' somewhere in my path and perhaps a '/etc/init.d/glassfish'
[13:55] <arvind_khadri> noisymouse, only after its done
[13:56] <nastas> anyone knows why i can't play .mkv video???
[13:56] <bazhang> nastas, with vlc ?
[13:56] <jrib> nastas: mkv is just a container
[13:56] <Zta> jrib: that
[13:57] <nastas> yes bazhang. with vlc or totem
[13:57] <Zta> ..wasn't the question =)
[13:57] <bazhang> nastas, probably not the codecs installed
[13:57] <arvind_khadri> nastas, iirc, mplayer plays it
[13:57] <newan> Hello, i have same problems between opensync: Error writing entry pas-id-4B55AC0A00000000 to member 2 (syncml-obex-client): Unable to commit change. Error 415
[13:58] <nastas> bazhang: it just start's the movie but with bad quality. and it freeze
[13:58] <eshat> Hi all. My Adobe Reader (9.3)freezes with 100% CPU, when I Click Properties on Print Dialog. Reinstalling and removing .adobe didn't help...
[13:58] <bazhang> nastas, likely corrupted file then
[13:58] <boscop> why does ubuntu suggest installing kernel 2.6.31 when I have 2.6.32? how can I remove it from the available updates list?
[13:58] <nastas> it plays fine in my friends windows desktop
[13:58] <Darael> eshat: Not a complete solution, but does it need to be Adobe Reader? There's quite a lot of apps that can read PDFs in Ubuntu.
[13:59] <wrapster> how do i mount an ISO in ubuntu?
[13:59] <nastas> bazhang: and i'm talking about the same dvd
[13:59] <wrapster> i mean.. to read the contents of the ISO
[13:59] <eshat> Darael: I use okular myself, but I am working at the university and a lot of ppl need adobe reader
[13:59] <arand> boscop: you can lock/block packages in synaptic/apt, not sure specifically how though.
[13:59] <SeaOrifice> can someone help me in compiling a driver module for an ethernet card ???
[14:00] <jrib> !iso | wrapster
[14:00] <arvind_khadri> !iso | wrapster
[14:00] <arvind_khadri> jrib, jinx :)
[14:00] <jrib> arvind_khadri: you owe me a coke!
[14:00] <arvind_khadri> jrib, anytime :)
[14:00] <jaguar6> hi everyone!
[14:01] <arvind_khadri> !hi | jaguar6
[14:01] <jaguar6> i have a very urgend but minor problem
[14:01] <zw> hi,jayuar6
[14:01] <chiiiiiz> hi!!
[14:01] <arvind_khadri> jaguar6, ask away :)
[14:01] <jaguar6> someone here willing to help me
[14:01] <Darael> !ask | jaguar6
[14:01] <jaguar6> i just installed a .jar file
[14:01] <chiiiiiz> does anyone know how to improve the display with a Intel  82915G/GV/910GL chipset... I am stuck at 1024x768 on a Karmic
[14:01] <jaguar6> the setup asks me for a location to which i want to install the program
[14:01] <jaguar6> what would the path be
[14:02] <newan> java -jar jarfile.jar
[14:02] <SeaOrifice> Re : can someone help me in compiling a driver module for an ethernet card ???
[14:02] <Frozenball> it's yours to choose?
[14:02] <jaguar6> yeah i got the .jar working
[14:02] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, yeah
[14:02] <jaguar6> this is a very general question
[14:02] <jaguar6> where do i install my programs to
[14:03] <Darael> jaguar6: If you want it for your own user only, put it somewhere in ~/ - otherwise, non-distro software is usually installed in /opt
[14:03] <jaguar6> im absolutely new to this
[14:03] <SeaOrifice> actually the source of the driver is part of kernel
[14:03] <Rigs77> ragazzi come si fa a scaricare i film con xchat? grazie a tutti
[14:03] <jaguar6> ok thx
[14:03] <SeaOrifice> but i want to compile only that driver module
[14:03] <Pici> !it | Rigs77
[14:03] <Leoneof`> hi, it is possible to make one partition for /root, and other partition for /var ?
[14:03] <Rigs77> ok grazie
[14:03] <noXandOs> Ok everyone I'm back.. Day 1 begins. *gulp*
[14:03] <llutz> Leoneof`: sure but /root is pointless
[14:03] <Darael> Leoneof`: Yaes - just choose manual partitioning at install time.
[14:04] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, why do you want to compile it, if its already there in the kernel?
[14:04] <Zta> How do I install the Glassfish appserver properly from packages?  After I 'apt-get install glassfish-*' I only get a bunch for jar files installed.  I was expecting 'asadmin' somewhere in my $PATH and perhaps a '/etc/init.d/glassfish'.
[14:04] <jaguar6> Darael: it wont let me install to /opt
[14:04] <SeaOrifice> many a times, my card is not supported by some other linux distros
[14:04] <SeaOrifice> especially live distros
[14:04] <SeaOrifice> earlier
[14:04] <Leoneof`> Darael: what the purpose if i do this way?
[14:04] <jaguar6> it says something, sorry i have to translate, like the directory your aiming for cant be changed
[14:04] <SeaOrifice> ubuntu live didnt support
[14:05] <Darael> jaguar6: It may not exist as a folder, or maybe you aren't installing it as root.
[14:05] <SeaOrifice> bt recent 8.10 supported
[14:05] <jaguar6> do i have to install it as root?
[14:05] <Darael> jaguar6: probably not a good idea.
[14:05] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, once support is added it stays
[14:05] <Darael> jaguar6: But only root can write to various folders, /opf being one.
[14:05] <jaguar6> im fucked, i need this program for a paper that i have to hand in tomorrow
[14:06] <l3ns> hi
[14:06] <SeaOrifice> arvind_khadri: i am using a Ubuntu based distro, in that it doesnt
[14:06] <Darael> jaguar6: Just put it somewhere in ~/ for now.
[14:06] <llutz> jaguar6: just install it to any dir inside your home
[14:06] <jaguar6> ok thx
[14:06] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, have you installed it, which version, whats the card?
[14:06] <chiiiiiz> does anyone know how to improve the display with a Intel  82915G/GV/910GL chipset... I am stuck at 1024x768 on a Karmic
[14:06] <jaguar6> same problem
[14:06] <SeaOrifice> lemme give u all the details, hang on
[14:06] <arvind_khadri> !fixres | chiiiiiz
[14:07] <Leoneof`> llutz: what the purpose if i make separated partitions for example like /var and /root ? it is good or not?
[14:07] <llutz> Leoneof`: imho separat /root is senseless
[14:07] <Leoneof`> llutz: why?
[14:08] <Darael> Leoneof`: It depends - usually not needed on a desktop system, but putting /usr and /home on different disks to / can be useful.
[14:08] <SeaOrifice> arvind_khadri: have a look at KERNELSOURCEPATH/drivers/net/sc92031.c
[14:08] <llutz> Leoneof`: you actually shouldn't work as root so root won't have special things to keep
[14:08] <Darael> Leoneof`: /root is just root's home folder - it shouldn't have more than a few kilobytes in it anyway.
[14:08] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, am asking which ubuntu version you are using, and whats the card model!!
[14:08] <llutz> Leoneof`: also it is very unlikely that /root fills your /-fs
[14:08] <SeaOrifice> i currently downloaded a linux kernel (source) and i found it
[14:08] <SeaOrifice> its there in that file arvind_khadri
[14:09] <llutz> Leoneof`: so where do you see any advantage in extra /root ?
[14:09] <hadean> heeeeeey guys y dont u help some nub: somehow i got it to work that my apache install wont start up with the system on a restart... can someone help?
[14:09] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, are you using Karmic ??>
[14:09] <bloodski> i've got a problem with hdmi, it overscans the resolution, which makes the edges not visible, any ideas?
[14:09] <ouyes> hi everybody i want to have a bluetooth ear phone
[14:09] <SeaOrifice> arvind_khadri: i am asking in general
[14:09] <Leoneof`> Darael, llutz : when i tried to install Ubuntu, i've seen many options to make partitions like /var /root ...etc i cant remember more
[14:09] <Darael> Leoneof`: Some of the folders in / (the filesystem root, not the same as /root) are useful on their own partitions, it's just that /root isn't one of them... usually.
[14:10] <hadean> im using karmic up2date and the apache install was installed via apt from the general sources
[14:10] <ouyes> is anyone using it now?
[14:10] <llutz> Leoneof`: given options not always make sense
[14:10] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, it cant be answered in general, and drivers from different trees cant be compiled... e.g drivers from 2.6.32 cant be used in 2.6.31
[14:10] <Darael> Leoneof`: /usr, /tmp, /var, /home and a few others can be useful, but those options are most useful in multiple-hard-drive scenarios.
[14:10] <llutz> Leoneof`: and btw, if you have to ask this, you most likely don't need any extra-partition at all
[14:11] <David12841> why isnt it possible to introduce an extra volume control button on the panel in ubuntu 9.10?
[14:11] <Pici> Leoneof`: Just because the partitioner offers them as choices doesn't mean you need to use them :)
[14:11] <David12841> i installed gnome-alsa-mixer
[14:11] <SeaOrifice> arvind_khadri: output from lspci ->
[14:11] <SeaOrifice> 02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Hangzhou Silan Microelectronics Co., Ltd. SC92031 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter (rev 01)
[14:11] <Leoneof`> o i c, thanks for the info
[14:11] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, ubuntu 9.10 ?
[14:12] <Leoneof`> so i will install Ubuntu with all /var /tmp /usr ..etc in one partition
[14:12] <SeaOrifice> the Distro i am using is having a kernel version 2.6.30.2
[14:12] <SeaOrifice> oops not that
[14:12] <llutz> Leoneof`: you may put /home extra
[14:12] <SeaOrifice> 2.6.30.9
[14:12] <hadean> yupp
[14:13] <Leoneof`> that /home extra is like second partition in Windows?
[14:13] <rethus> how did i use history in ubuntu on shell?
[14:13] <Darael> Leoneof`: Yup - just set one partition to be / and the installer will take care of the rest - you can probably just use one of the guided partitioning options if you don't want a separate /home.
[14:13] <hadean> again: where can i check why my apache wont start up with the system?
[14:13] <Darael> Leoneof`: /home is where all your user data goes.
[14:13] <rethus> on suse i have only to press arrow-key "up"
[14:13] <rethus> didn't work on ubuntu?!
[14:13] <llutz> Leoneof`: /home is the users-place, where personal things are stored
[14:13] <patri85> hello
[14:14] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, run lsb_release -a in a terminal
[14:14] <llutz> Leoneof`: extra /home makes backup/restore/reinstallation easier for some people
[14:14] <SeaOrifice> arvind_khadri: i m currently not in that OS
[14:14] <SeaOrifice> i am using Windows
[14:15] <SeaOrifice> ryt now
[14:15] <arvind_khadri> hadean, system -> preferences -> session
[14:15] <SeaOrifice> if i could connect to internet
[14:15] <SeaOrifice> why would i be asking
[14:15] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, you dont know which ubuntu version you installed??
[14:15] <Darael> Anyone know what might cause segfaults upon launch of Firefox, besides a corrupted profile?
[14:15] <Pici> hadean: Will apache start if you run it manually?
[14:16] <hadean> arvind_khadri: the weired thing is: it is there
[14:16] <hadean> Pici: yupp
[14:16] <scunizi> Darael: could be a plugin, theme as well..
[14:16] <SeaOrifice> arvind_khadri: its BT4
[14:16] <rethus> how did i use history in ubuntu on shell?on suse i have only to press arrow-key "up"didn't work on ubuntu?!
[14:16] <Leoneof`> thanks folks, i will leave Windows soon
[14:16] <SeaOrifice> its a ubuntu based distro
[14:16] <Pici> hadean: How did you install apache2?
[14:16] <erUSUL> rethus: is the same in ubuntu
[14:16] <hadean> apt-get
[14:16] <Dishcandanty> jw
[14:17] <scunizi> rethus: it works .. unless you've got to open terminals.. type history
[14:17] <arvind_khadri> !ubuntu | SeaOrifice
[14:17] <arand> rethus: shift+pgup?
[14:17] <Darael> scunizi: I've removed (well, renamed) ~/.mozilla/firefox and would hope the plugins from the repos are stable.
[14:17] <theadmin> How can one list all mountable devices?
[14:17] <Pici> SeaOrifice: We do not support Backtrack here, please use their support channel instead: #remote-exploit
[14:17] <arvind_khadri> SeaOrifice, only ubuntu is supported here
[14:17] <rethus> arand: can i change the shortcut?
[14:17] <arand> theadmin: "sudo fdisk -l" I guess
[14:18] <SeaOrifice> Lol i knew something like this will happen
[14:18] <scunizi> Darael: should be.. and if you've renamed the config then if it was a plugin that should have fixed it.  Weird.. I don't now.
[14:18] <SeaOrifice> bt i have a general question
[14:18] <SeaOrifice> please answer someone
[14:18] <ouyes> hi guys i really need your help
[14:18] <komputes> does anyone here have a ThinkPad X301 and is available for a quick test?
[14:18] <Pici> SeaOrifice: We do not even use that kernel version in Ubuntu.
[14:18] <rethus> arand:;  but no, thats not what i asked
[14:18] <bloodski> i've got a problem with hdmi, it overscans the resolution, which makes the edges not visible, any ideas?
[14:18] <rethus> i mean not srolling up.
[14:18] <theadmin> arand: Hm. Where did sda2 get to? %) It has sda1 and sda3
[14:18] <rethus> i mean history... writing last commands that submitted on shell
[14:18] <rethus> u writ cd ..
[14:19] <rethus> then u type arrow up and the bash write themself cd .. (your last command)
[14:19] <arand> theadmin: I'm innocent :|
[14:19] <Pici> rethus: What shell are you suing?
[14:19] <Pici> rethus: *using?
[14:19] <theadmin> Arand: eh sorry
[14:19] <SeaOrifice> Pici: can you point me how to compile some drivers , separately from the linux kernel source atleast
[14:19] <j0char> hi any tips on hdtv playback and ati?
[14:19] <Pici> !compile > SeaOrifice
[14:19] <arand> theadmin: meaning: I have no clue ;)
[14:19] <theadmin> arand: Ah :D
[14:20] <hadean> can it be be that some other startup program cancels the starting up?
[14:20] <ouyes> i am using the bluetooth to transmit some data from my laptop to my htc hd phone, both support the bluetooth 2.0 but i get a pratical speed 0f 109kb/s? how to speed it up?
[14:20] <rethus> Pici: think its bash
[14:20] <Pici> rethus: what does   echo $SHELL   say?
[14:20] <rethus> /bin/bash
[14:20] <arand> theadmin: should you have a faulty partition table, testdisk might be able to help..
[14:20] <theadmin> Another thing. How to list all variables?
[14:20] <Oli``> Is it possible to change how fast the processor ramps up to full speed? I'm finding that if something is only using 70% of one core, the CPU stays underclocked - I'd rather it started jumping at 50%
[14:21] <rethus> if i type history i got a list of all commands which i have typed
[14:21] <rethus> but key-up don't work
[14:21] <theadmin> arand: Meh, I messed with partitions a bit
[14:21] <Pici> rethus: Is this a new user? One that you created yourself and not created by the installer?
[14:21] <SeaOrifice> :-( I am not that stupid ubottu bot, i know these things :-p
[14:22] <rethus> pici: yes it is
[14:22] <j0char> hdtv playback with ati anyone?
[14:22] <theadmin> arand: What do you mean by a "faulty" partition table?
[14:22] <neilton> join #saj
[14:23] <erUSUL> Oli``: i think you can tweak things under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/
[14:23] <lh643> hello
[14:24] <neilton> #saj
[14:24] <Pici> rethus: It sounds like you used the wrong command to create your user and you're missing files from /etc/skel/.  To fix you can issue cp /etc/skel/* ~/    as your user and then open a new login shell
[14:24] <theadmin> neilton: Don't spam
[14:24] <oCean_> rethus: when pressing the up arrow, does anything else happen? Like, does the cursor or mousepointer move?
[14:24] <A[D]minS> how i can give a user root access for a temporary time but also i want to make sure that all his actions while he is root.. will be saved to his history ?
[14:24] <hadean> anyways
[14:24] <arand> theadmin: if you know sda3 should be there and it doesn't show up in fdisk, chances are the partition table might have gone a bit whacky, the partition table is a set of bytes at the start of the HD detailing where partions boundries start and end
[14:25] <theadmin> arand: sda3 shows up, sda2 doesn't. Altough it shouldn't exactly, well, I think I'm starting to make sense of it
[14:25] <oCean_> !afk > theadmin_away
[14:25] <arand> theadmin: if you deleted sda2, it shouldn't no
[14:26] <theadmin_away> oCean_: Not that I'm going away that often, sheesh
[14:26] <scunizi> theadmin_away: if you havent yet.. use gparted to compare against fdisk's results..
[14:26] <Darael> A[D]minS: add him to a new group which you give sudo permissions for, but prevent using sudo to use sudo or su, or with the -i option.

[14:27] <rethus> Pici: you have an idea what to do?

[14:28] <A[D]minS> Darael what if i gave him sudo like this - > %user ALL=/bin/su - ?
[14:28] <sile> hi
[14:28] <Darael> A[D]minS: I'm not incredibly familiar with the sudoers config syntax, sorry.
[14:28] <A[D]minS> Darael: actually i couldn't get "but prevent using sudo to use sudo or su, or with the -i option."

[14:32] <patri85> Pici: I'm trying to download a file
[14:33] <arvind_khadri> joost_op, maybe we should merge dpkg from #debian :D
[14:33] <Darael> Anyone know what might cause firefox to segfault on launch? Have already eliminated problems in the profile.
[14:33] <sipior> A[D]minS: that turns out to be fairly tricky to do if you try implementing a "everything but these apps" rule in /etc/sudoers (you'll never get them all). delegating sudo powers is best done in additive fashion (figure out what the person needs to do and add only those capabilities)
[14:33] <Pici> patri85: We do not serve files in #ubuntu
[14:33] <joost_op> arvind_khadri: I am in disguise
[14:34] <joost_op> arvind_khadri: what is merge?

[14:35] <ikonia> Darael: memory (ram) problem or an overclocked PC can do it
[14:35] <Darael> ikonia: It was fine until yesterday, and the CPU not overclocked.
[14:35] <ikonia> Darael: ram can go bad
[14:36] <ikonia> Darael: launch firefox from the command line see if you get any hints
[14:36] <ikonia> Darael: is this firefox supplied/packaged by ubuntu from the repos
[14:36] <Darael> ikonia: It's the repo supplied one, and I have been running it from the terminal - that's how I know it's segfaulting.
[14:36] <ikonia> Darael: no clues in there ?
[14:36] <sipior> Darael: try running it under strace, see if you can isolate a cause. be prepared for a deluge of output :-)
[14:36] <ikonia> Darael: has anything changed/been updated on your box ?
[14:36] <rethus> pici: works well. thanx
[14:37] <Darael> "(firefox:14793): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times" is all I get, sometimes once, sometimes twice.
[14:37] <Pici> rethus: great
[14:37] <Darael> ikonia: No updates since the day before yesterday.
[14:38] <Roasted> hey guys
[14:38] <Roasted> I'm trying to get awn dock rolling. I have awn manager installed. Is there something I need to adjust in the awn manager menu to get the dock to come up?
[14:39] <KenBW2> is it normal for the Xorg process to use 200MB of RAM after running for 15 days?
[14:39] <David1284> the volume in ubuntu 9.10 is in the notification area, is it possible to move it to the panel, or create a volume knob in the panel?
[14:39] <erUSUL> KenBW2: depends on what is running
[14:40] <sipior> KenBW2: that doesn't sound crazy, no.
[14:40] <ikonia> KenBW2: is it using the ram or just have a foot print of having used that ram (eg: how do you know it's using that ram)
[14:40] <KenBW2> ikonia: i looked in system monitor
[14:40] <scunizi> KenBW2: with compiz running maybe.. not really sure
[14:40] <ikonia> KenBW2: I don't know how system monitor reads it, check with top and ps aux
[14:41] <oCean_> Darael: try (re)moving your ~/.mozilla directory .. An immediate remove might be drastic (since your bookmarks etc are there also)
[14:41] <KenBW2> ikonia: top says 195MB
[14:42] <ikonia> KenBW2: in the virt colum ?
[14:42] <Darael> oCean_: renaming ~/.mozilla/firefox was the first thing I tried.
[14:42] <KenBW2> ikonia: 415m in VIRT
[14:43] <oCean_> Darael: well, not only firefox dir. There might be corruption in ~/.mozilla/default/cache or something..
[14:43] <ikonia> KenBW2: ok so it is using 200mb then
[14:43] <usuario_> ola
[14:43] <KenBW2> ikonia: is there a way of reducing that? short of restarting X?
[14:43] <usuario_> Que?
[14:44] <thiebaude> !es
[14:44] <Darael> sipior: A deluge was an understatement.

[14:45] <psyk> I have an ASUS G60VX laptop (I'm guessing that's why this is happening) and my pipe key is giving me ">" and my backslash is giving me "<" (note: the real keys for < > work fine) does anybody have any idea how I can fix this?
[14:45] <conflix> wow, lots of spammers over night!
[14:45] <arvind_khadri> psyk, you have the wrong layout :)
[14:46] <Foul> Hiya guys.  Anyone know a fix for what seemed to be a rather wll known bug where sound can only be played by one application at a time?
[14:46] <Darael> sipior: Any suggestions on what to gre for?
[14:46] <psyk> arvind_khadri, how can I change it?
[14:46] <arvind_khadri> psyk, system->preferences->keyboard , check the layout there
[14:46] <ikonia> KenBW2: not really, you'd have to stop doing whatever is causing it to gworow or use that much ram
[14:46] <psyk> arvind_khadri, alright, thank you!
[14:46] <scunizi> Foul: don't use skype?
[14:46] <xss> why
[14:46] <Darael> oCean_: Nope, didn't work. Thanks anyway.
[14:47] <Foul> scunizi: It's not just skype.  Other applications won't allow youtube to play audio while they are open.
[14:47] <xss> sex
[14:47] <sipior> Darael: "segmentation fault" would be a good start. actually, just open up the output file in a decent editor, start at the end and work backwards.
[14:47] <psyk> arvind_khadri, still < > ):
[14:48] <psyk> arvind_khadri, it says that it's using backslash and pipe but it isn't.
[14:48] <Foul> So no one can help me? :(
[14:48] <arvind_khadri> psyk, no idea
[14:48] <scunizi> Foul: once skype is loaded it messes with the audio for lots of stuff even after quitting it. Youtube is flash so which flash driver are you using.. the one from restricted-extras or the repo's "non-free" version?
[14:48] <neezer> is there a way to make dvd::rip use more of my cpu? it is stepped down to 800 MHz, and it isn't even using all f the power at 800.
[14:49] <KenBW2> ikonia: it's probabl;y down to my uptime, but i cba restarting
[14:49] <Foul> scunizi: Not sure on the flash driver.  I know I have restricted extras installed though.
[14:49] <razertek> hi everyone
[14:50] <razertek> anyone know why my network systray icon when clicked on says device not managed in greyout letters and the icon itself does not show the two plugs being connected but one plug standing up with dots next to it?
[14:51] <scunizi> Foul: check synaptic to see if the non-free version is installed.. if it is uninstall it.. it's not good to have both. Could cause conflicts.  as for the audio, after closing skype you might try killall alsa, sudo service pulseaudio restart etc..
[14:51] <xss> hii
[14:52] <Roasted> why is it when I remove something from the startup applications list, it still auto starts?
[14:52] <Darael> sipior: Two lines include "Segmentation fault", both at the end. Output of greeping for "SEGV" at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/359049/ - makes little to no sense to me.
[14:52] <erUSUL> razertek: maybe that specific device is managed by /etc/network/interfaces
[14:53] <Foul> scunizi: I'm affraid most of that went over my head. :(  Please be patient with the following stupid questions...  What's the name of the non-free version of the adobe flash driver?  If it's not free then I'm assuming i would have had to pay for it to get it right? If that's the case then I don't have it.  - How would I killall alsa?  do I just type that and sudo service pulseaudio restart into a terminal?
[14:53] <razertek> erUSUL: kool then..cuz i just got through adding it there...so that is why?
[14:53] <razertek> erUSUL: can i have both though
[14:53] <erUSUL> razertek: yes NM ignores the interfaces that are managed via interfaces.
[14:54] <erUSUL> razertek: no you not have your cake and eat it too; sorry ;P
[14:54] <sipior> Darael: you'll want to include a few lines of context for each match (the -C switch to grep). or maybe just pastebin the last few hundred lines or so.
[14:54] <Darael> Foul: It's non-free not because you have to pay but because of the restrictions on it. The package is "flashplugin-installer" or "flashplugin-nonfree" - I forget which.
[14:54] <Foul> Darael: Thanks mate I'll look those up.
[14:54] <sipior> Darael: try grep -C 20, to start
[14:54] <Darael> sipior: Will do.
[14:54] <razertek> erUSUL: before i network restart would tell me unknown interfaces eth0=eth0 forsome reason...so was it a good idea to add it to interfaces?
[14:55] <razertek> a*
[14:55] <NoobUser> Rather than name a file "Pass/Fail", what should I name it?
[14:56] <Darael> sipior: http://pastebin.com/f156e4088
[14:57] <psyk> I have an ASUS G60VX and my pipe/backslash keys just put "< >" - the keyboard model and layout is correct, is there any way I can manually change the keys?
[14:57] <erUSUL> razertek: dunno what the problem you are trying to solve is.
[14:57] <psyk> It's interfering with my programming, I'll get fired if I don't get this fixed.
[14:58] <djMax> I'm using JeOS and trying to use a wifi card, any pointers to how to install the mac80211 module(s)?
[14:58] <blackest_knight> hi i was wondering if anyone could do me a favor and download a file and dcc me a copy
[14:58] <NoobUser> psyk: I think the easy solution to your problem is just to quit your job.
[14:58] <razertek> erUSUL: just why it would tell me unknown interface when i did a network restart before i added it to the interface file
[14:58] <sipior> Darael: could you try pastebinning the last five hundred lines or so?
[14:58] <Darael> sipior: Certainly, one moment.
[14:58] <psyk> NoobUser, not funny
[14:59] <jrib> psyk: use xmodmap as a temporary fix, but I'd say your keyboard model is *not* correct
[14:59] <petate> Hi: I need the "Remote Desktop" of Ubuntu 9.10 always running, because i have a computer without monitor. When i reboot, the remote desktop didn't start. Any ideas?
[14:59] <jrib> model/layout
[14:59] <oCean_> Darael: just wondering, have you rebooted since this issue began?
[14:59] <psyk> jrib, the layout is correct, it doesn't show < > under the pipe key, and as for model, there's only 'asus laptop' under asus, so I don't know what else it could be
[14:59] <scunizi> psyk: try an external usb keyboard
[15:00] <Darael> oCean_: Yup! Sensible to ask, though.
[15:00] <erUSUL> razertek: if you use network manager you do not need to do network restarts ...
[15:00] <jrib> psyk: it's not correct because you are pressing a key and it is not doing what you expect it to
[15:00] <psyk> jrib, thanks though. I'll try xmodmap
[15:00] <razertek> erUSUL: o so it would tell me that for that reason?
[15:01] <Miracle> what do i need to play m4a files?
[15:01] <Darael> sipior: http://pastebin.com/f60d93d17
[15:01] <razertek> psyk: have you tried going to sys preferences and then keyboard and then change the layout?
[15:01] <erUSUL> razertek: i really dunno wihtout seeing the entire msg you got. apprt from that message you where seeing any other problem. it was just a cosmetic issue
[15:01] <jbendotnet> hi - am trying to update 9.10 server and get Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/g++-4.4_4.4.1-4ubuntu9_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) any ideas?
[15:02] <psyk> razertek, yes. I tried all of the US layouts.
[15:02] <petate> Anyone knows how to start "Remote Desktop" from command line? I have an Ubuntu 9.10 working in a computer without monitor.
[15:02] <razertek> how about dvorak/programmer?
[15:02] <jrib> jbendotnet: is that the full error?
[15:02] <MrPockets> rdesktop
[15:02] <jbendotnet> jrib: yes
[15:02] <razertek> which is a us layout
[15:02] <epinky> psyk: xmodmap could help
[15:02] <MrPockets> or rather, rdesktop x.x.x.x
[15:02] <jbendotnet> jrib: no!
[15:02] <jbendotnet> ang on
[15:03] <Roasted> Has anybody unchecked anything from startup applications and had it stick? When I remove something from startup apps, it gets removed, but if I reopen it after, its back. The only way to REMOVE anything from startup applications is to remove the entire entry. Is this normal??
[15:03] <Darael> MrPockets: I think petate wants to know how to start the server rather than the client.
[15:03] <MrPockets> ah
[15:03] <psyk> epinky, after looking at the syntax, I don't really know how to use xmodmap. and Google offered no help.
[15:03] <MrPockets> no monitor,  ..that'd make sense .
[15:03] <jrib> psyk: read the official documentation?
[15:03] <Darael> Roasted: Not in my experience, it Just Works (tm) for me.
[15:03] <jbendotnet> jrib: http://pastie.org/784839
[15:04] <petate> Darael: That's right
[15:04] <jrib> Roasted: check ~/.config/autostart permissions
[15:04] <LuciusMare_> hello,i borken my x server
[15:04] <jrib> jbendotnet: "corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive
[15:04] <scunizi> Roasted: most likely it was a program that was open when you shutdown.. there's a mode in there that will remember what is open and re-open it on reboot.. so.. make sure that option is turned on close all apps.. reboot.. turn option off..

[15:05] <jrib> Roasted: and ownership?
[15:05] <hwilde> hey guys I made a USB install disc, but I don't remember which .iso it is, how can I tell what version is on the usb key?
[15:05] <Roasted> jrib - me:me
[15:05] <jrib> Roasted: not permissions then.  Check that the file actually changes when you use the gui
[15:06] <Roasted> jrib - I think what scunizi said was right. Some things I uncheck uncheck fine. Others re-check themselves, such as gnome-do docky which in the preferences of that app is set to auto start.
[15:06] <Darael> hwilde: When you plug it in, it should show up with a label that describes the release and architecture.
[15:06] <LuciusMare_> Anyone?
[15:06] <jrib> Roasted: ok
[15:06] <Roasted> thanks dudes

[15:06] <AmirMohammad> Hi, once I connected to a samba shared folder on a windows box and nautilus asked me username/password and whether remember it forever, I selected remember it forever, and now I want to change it but can't find how to tell it to forget it
[15:07] <LuciusMare_> oof.
[15:07] <LuciusMare_> i just need it urgently, thus i am kinda nervous.
[15:08] <jrib> LuciusMare_: I (and I bet others) have no clue what the problem is because you broke it up on several lines.
[15:08] <LuciusMare_> i didnt
[15:08] <perdigon> buenas me las piro
[15:08] <razertek> AmirMohammad: did you google just that yet?
[15:08] <hwilde> Darael, nope it just says 8GB Corsair removable media
[15:08] <LuciusMare_> startx tells me i am not authorized and xauth list does not output anything
[15:08] <LuciusMare_> is enough,dont you think?
[15:09] <AmirMohammad> razertek: yeah, couldn't find the answer
[15:09] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[15:09] <feep> hello,everyone
[15:09] <jrib> LuciusMare_: what version of ubuntu is this?
[15:09] <LuciusMare_> kubuntu 9.10
[15:09] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: i am not even running X.
[15:09] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[15:09] <jrib> LuciusMare_: why are you using startx instead of starting kdm as it does by default?
[15:09] <LuciusMare_> i am not even running x
[15:10] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, just run the command man
[15:10] <Darael> hwilde: interesting... usually there's a second volume which will show up as the arch and release... Try booting it, then "uname -a" will include the arch, and "lsb_release -a" will include the version.
[15:10] <arand> hwilde: he's using kde.
[15:11] <hwilde>  this will work for kde and gnome:    sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[15:11] <hwilde> note the question mark.
[15:11] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: dude.
[15:11] <LuciusMare_> i

[15:11] <LuciusMare_> running
[15:11] <LuciusMare_> x
[15:11] <hwilde> !enter > LuciusMare_
[15:11] <Darael> LuciusMare_: So start ?dm rather than restarting it!
[15:11] <LuciusMare_> this is nonsense.
[15:11] <LuciusMare_> I can't start it.
[15:11] <LuciusMare_> I have borken x.
[15:11] <razertek> AmirMohammad: in nautilus right click on the share and check permissions
[15:11] <Tarantulafudge> is there anything like Zune's SmartDJ for Ubuntu?
[15:12] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, undo what you did to break it.
[15:12] <LuciusMare_> i am trying.
[15:12] <Darael> LuciusMare_: In that case, have you tried booting in recovery mode and using the xfix option?
[15:12] <LuciusMare_> Darael: not yet, my only problem now is with x authorization
[15:13] <jrib> LuciusMare_: you can't be helped if you do not answer questions
[15:13] <LuciusMare_> jrib: and you don't listen to what i do tell you
[15:13] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, move your xorg.conf to a backup filename, restart kdm, and you will get a failsafe x session.
[15:13] <jrib> LuciusMare_: good luck with your issue.
[15:13] <LuciusMare_> i told hwilde thrice times i am not running x
[15:13] <hwilde> Darael, I'm trying to avoid booting a dozen usb keys to find the right one.... the version must be in there somewhere
[15:13] <jrib> LuciusMare_: and he gave you a command to start x.  So try it and tell him what the output is.  I also asked you a different question
[15:14] <Darael> LuciusMare_: All you've actually told us is that you're having a problem with x authorisation, and can't start X - more info would be helpful.
[15:14] <LuciusMare_> xauth list does not output anything
[15:14] <LuciusMare_> i also said
[15:14] <LuciusMare_> startx tells me i am not authorized
[15:14] <LuciusMare_> oh,and my ~/.Xauthority is blank
[15:14] <razertek> AmirMohammad: sudo smbpasswd -x username
[15:14] <jrib> LuciusMare_: repeating what you've already said is not helpful.  Answering the new questions we've asked is
[15:15] <hwilde> LuciusMare_,  try what I told you, or you are dead to me.
[15:15] <charnel> I want to use my ~/www file as the /var/www file is this possible ? I dont want to chmod all the time
[15:15] <LuciusMare_> Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
[15:15] <LuciusMare_> Upstart job, you may also use the restart(8) utility, e.g. restart kdm
[15:15] <LuciusMare_> restart: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.40" (uid=1000 pid=4578 comm="restart) interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Restart" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init"))

[15:15] <Tarantulafudge> I just wanted to say that yesterday I did an wubi install while using primarily TV-out and I had absolutely zero problems
[15:15] <LuciusMare_> and exits
[15:16] <Tarantulafudge> I can tell that flash actually works faster than on windows 7
[15:16] <hwilde> charnel, you could symlink /var/www to ~/www if you want
[15:16] <charnel> thanks
[15:16] <Darael> charnel: You could symlink /var/www to ~/www or you could change the group permissions on /var/www
[15:16] <sipior> Darael: might you have another account you could try running firefox from?
[15:16] <jrib> charnel: a differen approach would be to enable userdirs in apache.  Then every user would have their own little space at domain/~username
[15:17] <Darael> sipior: absolutely. Back in a tick.
[15:17] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: did that help you?
[15:17] <tiger1> Is there a program make a debian package ??
[15:17] <jrib> !packaging | tiger1
[15:17] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, what did you do to your system exactly since it was working
[15:17] <charnel> Darael:  jrib: hwilde: Thank you very much I think symlink was what i was looking for
[15:17] <hwilde> charnel,   ln -s
[15:17] <razertek> AmirMohammad: did it work?
[15:17] <jrib> tiger1: you might want to read about checkinstall as well, but if you plan to distribute the package and want to make a proper one, see ubottu's links
[15:18] <Spage> Java problem. After upgrading to 9.10 java does not exit properly. The process remains after exit as sleeping in the process list. It sucks all the CPU power from the machine
[15:18] <jrib> charnel: symlink won't really do much, you'll still have to change permissions
[15:18] <tiger1> checkinstall make my application on application menu ?
[15:19] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: the whole story is about an hungry game, i needed to upgrade my drivers, so i downloaded the not-in-repos-yet ones, and now, update came and i booted with borken x. Through a line of purging,installing and reinstalling, i got to this state - i need to be root to run x, aside from that,it is in perfect condition
[15:19] <razertek> Spage: set its priority
[15:19] <charnel> but changing group permissions in my home folder will do the job forever right ?
[15:19] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, make a new user with a clean profile and see if they can run x
[15:19] <jrib> charnel: same as changing permissions on /var/www
[15:19] <llutz> LuciusMare_: ls -l $(which X)
[15:20] <charnel> yes I just did not want to change permissions for var/www
[15:20] <Darael> charnel: ...or you could make a suitable usergroup, set it to the owning group of /var/www, give it appropriate perms, and make yourself a member.
[15:20] <jrib> charnel: that's what you are doing.  symlink doesn't have separate permissions
[15:20] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: nope
[15:20] <LuciusMare_> llutz: -rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 9672 2009-11-10 11:54 /usr/bin/X
[15:20] <biagidp> I've got an external USB drive that's showing up in lsusb, but not when i check in fdisk -l.  I'd like to mount it, but don't know how.  Anyone can help?
[15:21] <LuciusMare_> biagidp: have you checked "dmesg|tail" ?
[15:21] <metalfoo> Hi there, I've got a question (not directly related to ubuntu). I established a bridge (brctl) betweeen a (virtual/xen) interface and a real ethX interface. I was wondering why I'm now forced to set-up an IP address for the _bridge_ interface in order to reach the attached virtual interface through it with a complete different ip. has someone an idea?
[15:21] <uberspaced> what's the easiest way to find the directory where the netboot iso is?
[15:21] <uberspaced> I google: ubunto netboot iso
[15:21] <uberspaced> and it's not easy to find.
[15:21] <erUSUL> biagidp: unplug the disk. then in a terminal do « tailf /var/log/messages » . after that plug the disk. paste the output you get in the terminal
[15:21] <erUSUL> !paste | biagidp
[15:22] <guest_007> sd
[15:22] <kinja-sheep> uberspaced: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/9.10/ (0.01ms)
[15:22] <biagidp> LuciusMare_: I did, I didn't see anything that looked like an error, I'll but it up on past bin
[15:22] <uberspaced> kinja-sheep: thanks.
[15:22] <biagidp> erUSUL: I'll get that log file too
[15:22] <guest_007> Hello, how does Koala boot? I checked scripts and can't find mountall, cryptdisks. Where can i read about changes"?
[15:23] <kinja-sheep> guest_007: Magic
[15:23] <nathan7> dependency-based bootstuffs iirc.
[15:24] <biagidp> erUSUL: of course it works the time I do that, thanks :-P
[15:25] <razertek> Spage: use: ps u U username   ........to get process id
[15:25] <guest_007> What changed in koala boot sequence? How to add custom script before mount?
[15:26] <AmirMohammad> razertek: yeah, found it, but not with what you told. I told I'm accessing a remote windows box, the user is not local and sure I can't modify it using smbpasswd
[15:26] <kinja-sheep> guest_007: Are you using cryptsetup for full-system encryption?
[15:26] <AmirMohammad> razertek: it's in Applications->Accessories->Password and Encryption keys
[15:26]  * SeRgIoV says hello to the channel
[15:26] <razertek> Spage: then: use: nice
[15:27] <razertek> AmirMohammad: hmm
[15:27] <guest_007> kinja-sheep: as always, /boot + encrypted LVM
[15:27] <om26er> !hi | SeRgIoV
[15:27] <razertek> AmirMohammad: did u have to delete a key from there ?
[15:28] <LuciusMare_> I broken my X authorization, i am not authorized to run X - .Xauthority is blank. How do i fill it?
[15:28] <kinja-sheep> guest_007: It is likely to be in initfs (spell?) -- It is a temporary filesystem used at bootup to load modules and scripts.
[15:28] <jrib> LuciusMare_: why are you using startx instead of starting kdm as it does by default?
[15:28] <hwilde> lol jrib
[15:28] <LuciusMare_> i didnt say i do use it
[15:28] <AmirMohammad> razertek: yeb
[15:28] <jrib> LuciusMare_: what?
[15:28] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, how long have you had this problem
[15:29] <tarzeau_> how can i file a bug about kmenuedit? to which email address?
[15:29] <razertek> Spage: sry i meant: renice
[15:29] <jrib> !bug | tarzeau_
[15:29] <tarzeau_> or on what url with webform can i tell what's wrong?
[15:29] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: this day it started,after the damned update :P
[15:29] <tarzeau_> jrib: yes i read that, and the apport* tools don't work
[15:29] <jrib> tarzeau_: what does "don't work" mean?
[15:29] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, how many hours have you spent trying to fix it
[15:29] <kinja-sheep> guest_007: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-17-generic (that is where it is in). You'll want to create a copy. Add it to menu, extract the file and edit.
[15:29] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: about three,four or so
[15:29] <guest_007> kinja-sheep: what changed since Heron? /etc/rcS.d/ has few files now. Looks like other files are in GRUB2?
[15:29] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, you realize you can reinstall from the cd in about 20 minutes
[15:30] <tarzeau_> jrib: i start ubuntu-bug kdebase-workspace-bin
[15:30] <FortyTwo> Evolution doesnt sort SPAM Flagged Mail into SPAM directory, what to do?
[15:30] <tarzeau_> jrib: then i say "other" and can't tell anything about it
[15:30] <tarzeau_> jrib: it does something, i have no idea what
[15:30] <hwilde> !enter > tarzeau_
[15:30] <RediXe> I have a ext3 partition being mounted to /media/storage, how do I make this rw for my user and not just root?
[15:30] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: i do, but i - 1) cant reboot, 2) am sure i will need this in future 3) think its more elegant :)
[15:30] <jrib> tarzeau_: keep reading (I would just file at launchpad.net directly)
[15:31] <kinja-sheep> guest_007: There are commands, I can't find them. I'm trying to find a site on that. I think /etc/rcS.d/ starts later.
[15:31] <amunoz> hola
[15:31] <llutz> RediXe: use chown/chmod
[15:31] <onetinsoldier> hi all. my sound suddenly just stopped working. anyone think they might be able to help me get it going again?
[15:31] <tarzeau_> can you reproduce this? open kmenuedit then add a new submenu, give it an icon from a path of your own, for example /opt/icons/
[15:31] <jrib> LuciusMare_: what did you do that broke it?
[15:31] <LuciusMare_> jrib: i didnt say i use startx. Aside from that, - "blah,use start kdm,it is an upstart job" > "start kdm" > "job kdm already running"
[15:31] <tarzeau_> jrib: how?
[15:31] <hwilde> RediXe, sudo chown you:you /media/storage
[15:31] <erUSUL> !addingfs | RediXe
[15:31] <petate> I can't start an X session through PuTTY and Ubuntu 9.10? Any help? Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10.0
[15:31] <amunoz> ghtut7it7i
[15:31] <tarzeau_> jrib: i do have a launchpad account, i'm logged in, i just can't find any way to report a bug
[15:31] <jrib> tarzeau_: read ubottu's link
[15:31] <hwilde> petate, you have to click the box to allow X11 forwarding
[15:31] <LuciusMare_> jrib: installed non-repo drivers,update came, i am xless. Purge this blob, install repo version, blank .Xauthority
[15:31] <amunoz> otdj8yyfutytugi9etu
[15:31] <hwilde> !bug > tarzeau_
[15:32] <petate> hwilde: i already did that
[15:32] <rrodriguez> yy
[15:32] <RediXe> erUSUL, I read those, so the only way to do it is to use chown/chmod?
[15:32] <Darael> LuciusMare_: If KDM is already running, I'm assuming you've tried switching to where X ought to be (usually ctrl+alt+f7, sometimes on ctrl+alt+f8 instead)?
[15:32] <hwilde> petate, are you sure it works with putty?  why aren't you just using ssh -X
[15:32] <rrodriguez> gooritgjkr90
[15:32]  * om26er still don't know how to use chmod
[15:32] <rrodriguez> lñbnkgfpj
[15:32] <LuciusMare_> Darael: you are assuming right
[15:32] <jrib> !permissions > om26er

[15:33] <onetinsoldier> hi all. my sound suddenly just stopped working. anyone think they might be able to help me get it going again?
[15:33] <LuciusMare_> Darael: and, even if it would be running, i still need to solve the problem i cant run it manually
[15:33] <jrib> LuciusMare_: what did you install exactly?
[15:33] <paulus> Hi
[15:33] <rrodriguez> hgh
[15:33] <petate> hwilde: I'm on windows trying to connect to Ubuntu
[15:33] <LuciusMare_> jrib: drivers 190
[15:33] <onetinsoldier> howdy
[15:33] <jrib> LuciusMare_: someone asked you about trying with a different user earlier I think.  What was the result of that?
[15:34] <paulus> Has anyone else had problems with the b44 NIC driver in Karmic Koala?
[15:34] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, sudo pastebinit -i  /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[15:34] <LuciusMare_> I also earlier answered that the new user cant
[15:34] <jrib> LuciusMare_: you have to be specific.
[15:34] <hwilde> petate, you should use freenx or vnc then.  the error message is that there is no xserver on your windows machine to forward the desktop to
[15:34] <LuciusMare_> jrib: okay, same problem as me,not authorized to run x
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> paulus: tried a different cable?
[15:34] <paulus> yes
[15:34] <petate> thanks, i'll try that
[15:35] <hwilde> petate, freenx is wicked fast imho
[15:35] <jrib> LuciusMare_: what's the actualy output not paraphrased?
[15:35] <paulus> anyway if I netboot into kubuntu the nic works fine
[15:35] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, sudo pastebinit -i  /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> paulus: does: sudo lshw -C network     show it with a driver?
[15:35] <LuciusMare_> oh,sorry
[15:35] <FortyTwo> Evolution doesnt sort SPAM Flagged Mail into SPAM directory, what to do?
[15:35] <LuciusMare_> jrib: same as me means: X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
[15:35] <LuciusMare_> xinit:  Server error.
[15:35] <paulus> I'll try that
[15:35] <_raven_> how is possible to select, which network-device is used if e.g. firefox uses not the right one?
[15:36] <Darael> sipior: Second reboot after the problem appeared, it's vanished! In any case, thank you so much for your time.
[15:36] <llutz> _raven_: route
[15:36] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: http://pastebin.com/f2104358e
[15:36] <onetinsoldier> arrghh! my sound suddenly just stopped working. anyone think they might be able to help me get it going again?
[15:36] <sipior> Darael: bizarre, but glad it's working, of course :-)
[15:36] <oCean_> Darael: yay :)
[15:36] <Explore1> How can i install oss?
[15:36] <Explore1> apt-cache oss gives a  very long list, which one do i need to install?
[15:37] <katycorp1> does anyone know how to prevent chat text from showing up in the notification area in karmic? (using pidgin for a client)
[15:37] <LuciusMare_> Explore1: i would basically go with "apt-get install oss"
[15:37] <_raven_> llutz, how to select exactly when umts and cable is activated?
[15:37] <llutz> _raven_: sudo route del default && sudo route add default ppp0
[15:38] <_raven_> llutz ok tnx
[15:38] <FortyTwo> Evolution doesnt sort SPAM Flagged Mail into SPAM directory, what to do?
[15:38] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, your xorg log looks fine.  have you tried rebooting?
[15:38] <llutz> _raven_: pppd should replace default-route on umts-connect
[15:38] <Explore1> LuciusMare_E: Couldn't find package oss
[15:38] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: x works fine
[15:38] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: i cant just run it under my user, i am not authorized
[15:39] <Darael> Explore1: the oss-compat package would allow OSS-using applications to work by interfacing with your existing sound framework, so unless you're doing a custom remix from a minimal install it's probably what you want.
[15:39] <jrib> LuciusMare_, hwilde: the log pasted has errors...

[15:39] <genixpro> hello there ubuntunites. I am having some problems, in particular, I cant seem to get opengl to work. The mesa implementation doesnt seem to support shaders which are critical to the game i am creating
[15:40] <FortyTwo> Ok thanks for that advice ubottu, im new to irc princips
[15:40] <Explore1> Darael, i dint get you?
[15:40] <razertek> FortyTwo: did you check all your setting in evo?
[15:40] <genixpro> I'm on my laptop, and i was sure it has a radeon mobile, it should work better then this
[15:40] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, backup your xorg.conf, delete it,  sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart
[15:41] <LuciusMare_> oof.
[15:41] <jrib> LuciusMare_: what does this return: sudo grep allowed /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config   (hope you can do 2 things at once)
[15:41] <Explore1> Darael, oss-compat is already installed on my machine
[15:41] <hwilde> jrib, seeing how you have a scalpel and I have a sledgehammer,  it's all yours
[15:41] <Explore1> Darael, how can i check whcih sound framework i have?
[15:41] <Urda> Hello fellow ubuntu users! Question: How can I get php5 to run without Suhosin? It appears as if the package for apache and CLI both have it on by default. I have a 9.10 x86 server OS that needs it
[15:41] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: i said already, it tells me its an upstart job, so i got to use start kdm,i use it, kdm already running
[15:41] <jrib> hwilde: i have to leave soon anwyay
[15:41] <genixpro> however, when i go into the hardware drivers, it doesnt give me the option to install any graphics cards drivers. only my wireless card
[15:42] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, honestly, my rule of thumb is if it's not fixed after 1 hour, reinstall from cd.
[15:42] <LuciusMare_> jrib: allowed_users=console
[15:42] <onetinsoldier> genixpro: i wouldn't know much about that. sound interesting though! have you checked to see if there's a #mesa channel?
[15:42] <Darael> Explore1: Ah, not a clue then. However, it's likely that some of the stuff you've got from apt-cache searching would be removed if you aptitude searched - it usually returns fewer, more relevant results.
[15:43] <Spage> razertek: what does "renice" mean?
[15:43] <jrib> LuciusMare_: for kicks, read the file, use debconf to change it to anyone and see if it makes a difference (revert it later)
[15:43] <LuciusMare_> debconf?
[15:43] <jrib> LuciusMare_: dpkg-reconfigure blah, the file explains
[15:43] <genixpro> well i dont expect mesa alone to work onetinsoldier, I would like to install vendor drivers, but nothing is showing up in the menu where they usually pop up
[15:43] <razertek> Spage: it adjust the priority for runaway processes and such
[15:44] <eurythmia> I have a friend who requested to add me to his gtalk contacts ... how do I accept this request in empathy? I get the OSD saying that "so and so has requested a subscription ..." but there is no apparent way to accept said request.
[15:44] <Spage> But it something that happend every time I running a java client.
[15:44] <LuciusMare_> jrib: my .Xauthority still blank
[15:45] <jrib> LuciusMare_: you received the same error?
[15:45] <luist> how do i redirect error output to standard output?
[15:45] <LuciusMare_> luist: command 2>&1
[15:45] <jrib> luist: 2>&1
[15:45] <onetinsoldier> genixpro: roger. i have a desktop ati card here...
[15:45] <LuciusMare_> jrib: i didnt even bother, my .Xauthority still blank
[15:45] <luist> so if i want to redirect all output to a file i can use command 2>&1 > myfile?
[15:46] <jrib> LuciusMare_: erm, what did you do that you expect it to become non-blank?
[15:46] <LuciusMare_> jrib: dpkg-reconfigured everything with xserver or xorg in its name ^^
[15:46] <LuciusMare_> not really
[15:47] <LuciusMare_> just xserver-xorg and things that seemed to have something in common with authorizating
[15:47] <jrib> LuciusMare_: dpkg never touches anything in your home
[15:47] <LuciusMare_> jrib: oh
[15:47] <bloodski> i've got a problem with hdmi, it overscans the resolution, which makes the edges not visible, any ideas?
[15:47] <LuciusMare_> jrib: i think that we are just still on a problem - i need to fill my .Xauthority
[15:47] <LuciusMare_> but i dont know how or w/ what
[15:47] <fhaus> any ruby programmers on?
[15:47] <LuciusMare_> fhaus: try #ruby
[15:48] <r00t_> #linuxac
[15:48] <onetinsoldier> genixpro: if ati makes a driver for the 'mobile' type of video cards for linux you could download it and install it manually
[15:49] <jrib> LuciusMare_: I don't know how that gets filled, but I would start by trying startx

[15:49] <onetinsoldier> nooo! my sound suddenly just stopped working. anyone think they might be able to help me get it going again?
[15:49] <arand> How can I set sound volume from terminal?
[15:49] <hwilde> onetinsoldier, type "alsamixer" on cli and unmute everything
[15:49] <rjurney> Can I install a CentOS or SuSE RPM on my ubuntu system?  The vendor only supplies RPMs.
[15:49] <hwilde> arand, alsamixer
[15:50] <onetinsoldier> hwilde: roger. i'll try it...
[15:50] <hwilde> rjurney, some rpms will install fine
[15:50] <arand> hwilde: *facepalms
[15:50] <rjurney> hwilde: Redhat 4, 5 or SuSE?
[15:50] <jrib> LuciusMare_: anyway I have to go, google also claims kdm/gdm create a new xauthority everytime.  You also have errors in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[15:50] <hwilde> rjurney, depends on the rpm itself actually, and where it wants to put files, what it is expecting etc
[15:50] <genixpro> onetinsoldier: thank you i am taking a look
[15:51] <Darael> rjurney: It's not guaranteed, but if you install the package "alien" you may be able to convert it to an installable debian package.
[15:51] <rjurney> huh
[15:51] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, jrib,  I agree it has nothing to do with .xauthority.   but blowing away xorg.conf should get you a failsafe.  if that doesnt work you have serious problems.
[15:51] <rjurney> That kinda sucks
[15:51] <hwilde> rjurney, did you TRY to install the rpm yet
[15:51] <Shrey> can anyone help me in ubuntu
[15:51] <dooglus> hey guys I have a question
[15:51] <Shrey> for the apt-get
[15:51] <rjurney> I am as we speak
[15:51] <Darael> !ask Shrey, dooglus
[15:52] <dooglus> when I install from the ISO, it asks me if the first user's home should be encrypted
[15:52] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: i guess it does, user that has something in it, (it looks sorta like a hash)  can run it
[15:52] <jrib> rjurney: you may break your system that way....  What is it you are attempting to install?
[15:52] <fhaus> how do i register on this irc server
[15:52] <dooglus> is there some way of having the 2nd user's home encrypted too?
[15:52] <rjurney> jrib: Vertica
[15:52] <jrib> !register  |  fhaus
[15:52] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, I believe that file is auto generated when x starts up.  so it should be blank in your case.
[15:53] <zapisto> hi all , i want to know if it existe a tool/sript/sorft who permit to manage update for a small cloud of 9.04 and 9.10 from a central point witout need to go on each system and run update
[15:53] <airstrike> i'm missing some icons (like amsn and utorrent which _are_ running now) from my tray next to the clock. how can i fix that? they were there earlier today
[15:53] <jrib> rjurney: you should probably contact them directly about it
[15:53] <rjurney> jrib: They'll say to run CentOS, surely ;)
[15:53] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: it is blank only at my user, at the second,there is something.And,he can start the x
[15:53] <dooglus> Darael: what do you mean?
[15:53] <jrib> rjurney: won't know until you try
[15:53] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, ok then it's something in your profile then.
[15:53] <LuciusMare_> i know
[15:54] <LuciusMare_> er
[15:54] <LuciusMare_> what
[15:54] <hwilde> LuciusMare_, in other words it's not a package issue, it's not a driver issue, it's not an x issue, it's not a kde issue, its your user profile.
[15:54] <LuciusMare_> okay, it is not my user profile
[15:54] <Darael> dooglus: It was a failed bot command, never mind that. The answer to your question is: Yes - you may be able to do it when you create the user; I'm not sure. Excuse me while I look up how to do it after user creation.
[15:54] <JohnnyDoe> trying to connect to my vpn.. were could i find the vpn's gateway
[15:54] <LuciusMare_> hwilde: i tried to run it from the user, i cant
[15:54] <LuciusMare_> i mean, from the user that was supposed to be able to run it,and could run it before
[15:54] <onetinsoldier> genixpro: roger... i used that guide to install the 9.12's. but after it was all done i had to manually give the command to generate a fglrx-enabled /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. with the following command --> sudo aticonfig --initial
[15:55] <onetinsoldier> hwilde: sorry, but alsamixer didn't seem to get me anywhere. thanks for trying tho
[15:55] <blahhhhhhal> i'm not able to access 1 TB freeagent seagate portable disk drive on ubuntu 9.10.. any ideas?
[15:55] <llutz> LuciusMare_: if you think your problem will be solved with a new ~/.Xauthority, "sudo mkxauth -c <youruser>"
[15:56] <JohnnyDoe> trying to connect to my vpn.. were could i find the vpn's gateway
[15:56] <nvme> i am trying to access a windows share through an SSH tunnel, i am able to see the shares on the windows remote computer but i cant mount them (nautilus just says failed to mount), anyone know what can be wrong ?
[15:56] <hwilde> onetinsoldier, close all the open programs, one of them may have locked the sound driver... happens to me sometimes.  especially totem fighting with firefox
[15:56] <Fud--> onetinsoldier I was about to ask the same thing, where is the config util for asla...i can't find it in ubuntu but there was one in gentoo that was just one command on the terminal
[15:56] <onetinsoldier> hwilde: hold on, I just pressed 'H' in alsamixer and it's showing me some 'help'. describes what keys do what in here...
[15:56] <Fud--> the mixer doesn't help
[15:57] <hwilde> onetinsoldier, I think M is for mute, and the arrow keys up and down adjust volume.  there is a little Mute symbol at the bottom of each channel
[15:57] <JohnnyDoe> trying to connect to my vpn.. were could i find the vpn's gateway
[15:57] <JohnnyDoe> anyone
[15:57] <onetinsoldier> yeah.. i don't think the mixer is going to help, but i am going to play with it some here to try and see. i'll close all programs too, although all i have open is firefox, my gnome-terminal, and xchat
[15:58] <sephy> onetinsoldier: You need master, pcm, front and headphone
[15:58] <onetinsoldier> sephy: ok, thanks :)
[15:58] <sephy> m for mute/unmute, up/down for volume adjusting
[15:58] <hwilde> onetinsoldier, try logging out and logging back in does it play the ubuntu theme music ?
[15:59] <Fud--> just saying asla had some app that probed and set up the sound card auto from the command line but i cant find that in ubuntu
[15:59] <onetinsoldier> hwilde: arrrgh. i have to leave for a few minutes. be back in just a few... i hope
[16:00] <Thaxll> Hello, I've a problem with my second screen plug into my laptop, when I've a dark picture / movie I see some wave on the screen ( it seems to be a sync or refresh issue ) where could I increase de the refresh rate of my second screen ?
[16:00] <zapisto>  i want to know if it existe a tool/sript/sorft who permit to manage update for a small cloud of 9.04 and 9.10 from a central point witout need to go on each system and run update
[16:01] <hwilde> Thaxll, you can specify vrefresh and hsync in xorg.conf  google it for your monitor type
[16:01] <sephy> Fud--: It's alsa, and the command you're thinking about is alsaconf
[16:02] <jasonmchristos> how do i see the installed drivers in ubuntu?
[16:02] <Fud--> thanks sephy
[16:02] <Fud--> i'll try that
[16:02] <sephy> jasonb: Some are implemented in the kernel, others are modules loaded during boot
[16:02] <Darael> dooglus: http://ur1.ca/k6uy explains how to migrate an existing user to an encrypted home, or to add one with a preencrypted home, do it with "sudo adduser --encrypt-home".
[16:03] <Darael> dooglus: Sorry for the delay!
[16:03] <sephy> jasonb: If you want the modules try typing lsmod in a terminal
[16:03] <dooglus> Darael: thanks.  I'll take a look
[16:07] <vikahagrawal> hi
[16:07] <vikahagrawal> any body india
[16:07] <linny> is it possible and if so could someone point me to a tut or guide to make a karmic .deb work with jaunty ?
[16:08] <LuciusMare_> llutz: i have no command like mkxauth
[16:08] <nvme> i am trying to access a windows share through an SSH tunnel, i am able to see the shares on the windows remote computer but i cant mount them (nautilus just says failed to mount), anyone know what can be wrong ?
[16:08] <Darael> linny: What are you trying to accomplish? There may be a better way - and to give a straight answer, whether it's possible depends on the package, so I doubt there's a guide.
[16:09] <c_nick> wht can best work on a p4 845gv chip
[16:09] <linny> Darael: there is an app called wiithon a wbfs file manager for linux it only has karmic repos and debs
[16:09] <FortyTwo> razartek, yes all settings are checked(filter)
[16:10] <Darael> linny: Have you looked for a ppa in Launchpad?
[16:10] <sephy> linny: I don't recommend it, but if you download the package from http://packages.ubuntu.org/karmic you'll be able to install it using the command: dpkg -i packagename.deb    Again, I strongly advice _AGAINST_ it
[16:11] <zapisto>  i want to know if it exist a tool/sript/sorft who permit to manage update for a small cloud of 9.04 and 9.10 from a central point witout need to go on each system and run update
[16:11] <paulus> ActionParsnip: lshw -C network says it's DISABLED, driver=b44
[16:12] <linny> sephy:Darael: i think im due an upgrade anyways thanks, i just dont like messing with a working box so i was putting off updating :)
[16:12] <oCean_> zapisto: with multiple systems, you would have to update all of 'em anyway?
[16:13] <JediMaster> anyone know how to get reverse DNS/PTR records working in MaraDNS?
[16:13] <oCean_> !aptproxy | zapisto maybe looking for something like this?
[16:14] <llutz> JediMaster: look at faq
[16:15] <JediMaster> llutz, I did and it doesn't work
[16:15] <hwilde> need help with mount and uuids please:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/359077/
[16:16] <Urda> Hello fellow ubuntu users! Question: How can I get php5 to run without Suhosin? It appears as if the package for apache and CLI both have it on by default. I have a 9.10 x86 server OS that needs it
[16:16] <JediMaster> llutz, e.g. did "dig 4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa @localhost" and it comes up with a cname to another PTR
[16:17] <JediMaster> Urda, why do you need it without suhosin?
[16:17] <llutz> JediMaster: you read the part about "internet wide reverse dns"?
[16:17] <{aaron}> hi guys, i was wondering if there was a generic way to restore/foreground X apps?  my running apps disappeared in blackbox and I don't know how to get them back :(
[16:17] <oCean_> hwilde: do "grep 1234 /etc/fstab"
[16:18] <Urda> JediMaster: Using Gearman, and the return from Worker and Client is tripping it for one reason or another. Gearman may be doing something it doesn't like, but the fellows in #gearman haven't pinned it yet
[16:18] <hwilde> oCean_, nope.  checked there first, and mtab... i'm actually doing grep -r through the whole filestysem at this point
[16:18] <JediMaster> llua, I don't see that on http://www.maradns.org/faq.html
[16:18] <LuciusMare_> oh,and the reboot does not work,any more ideas?
[16:18] <Urda> JediMaster: The Classic ALERT canary mismatch
[16:19] <llutz> JediMaster: faq 7,  "if you wish to habe a PTR....."
[16:19] <llutz> have
[16:19] <oCean_> hwilde: the way you mount (not mentioning device nor mountpoint) it will try to get the info needed from fstab
[16:19] <zapisto> ocean_, ubottu , thanks but i would still need to manual run update on all the systems ?
[16:19] <LuciusMare_> hm
[16:19] <JediMaster> llutz, yes I know, and our ISP has given us control over it
[16:20] <llutz> JediMaster: ah, ok. no clue then
[16:20] <JediMaster> llutz, it's more that maradns doesn't seem to be returning the correct response unless I've got my dig syntax wrong?
[16:20] <Fud--> aha i see alsaconf doesn't exist in linux mint which is ubuntu based
[16:20] <Explore1> how can i check the version of any package i am using?
[16:20] <LjL> Explore1: apt-cache policy packagename
[16:21] <{aaron}> nvm X crashed on me... i guess that sort of solved the problem :(
[16:21] <LuciusMare_> when i `start kdm` under normal user, it prints a message about rejected dbus message,if i run it under root, it is already running,and if i try to run it under user again,it tells me only root wants to run kdm
[16:21] <LuciusMare_> heh
[16:21] <noXandOs> hey i just removed my virtual desktops from the panel, how do i get them back?
[16:22] <oCean_> zapisto: well, yes, all systems have to be updated, right? You could also have a look at cron-apt package, which provides (basic) automatic updates (-scheduling)
[16:22] <kinja-sheep> noXandOs: Workspaces? Right-click on the panel and add Workspace.
[16:22] <Darael> LuciusMare_: You'll want to stop it (as root) and try starting it again?
[16:22] <LuciusMare_> maybe
[16:22] <oCean_> noXandOs: right-click panel > add to panel > workspace switcher
[16:23] <Darael> *poke*
[16:23] <zapisto> ocean, yes i have about 20 systems, now i have to manually connect to all of them and run update, i was thinking of some scription and cron
[16:23] <noXandOs> oh, workspace.. thanks :)
[16:23] <paulus> after some googling I did a sudo ifconfig eth0 up
[16:23] <zapisto> but just want to know if something already exist
[16:23] <paulus> now the nic shows up in ifconfig, but no ip address. dmesg report 'link is not ready'
[16:24] <^paradox^> quick question
[16:24] <oCean_> zapisto: see my previous line: "..You could also have a look at cron-apt.."
[16:24] <oCean_> !info cron-apt | zapisto
[16:25] <zapisto> ocean : i am look at it now, but mean i have to install that on all system (that's a good start)
[16:25] <LuciusMare_> oh,screw it,i'll just reinstall
[16:25]  * LuciusMare_ gets debian
[16:26] <oCean_> zapisto: well, if you're looking for more sophisticated management software, have a look at http://www.canonical.com/projects/landscape
[16:26] <zapisto> i was more thinking of a push over pull but ehhh this will prolly help me
[16:26] <^paradox^> i installed frostwire recently and it just popped up and said theres a newer version avalaible. it wants me download another deb file. is this this how im supposed to update it then or do i wait for updates through update manager?
[16:26] <zapisto> ocean : hooooo great let me look
[16:26] <kto> vlc or rhythmbox shutsdown If I suspend my computer
[16:27] <mpathy> Hi there.. I cannot live without an Ubuntu even when I have to do work on the windows desktop :) What would be the best option for an Ubuntu on a VirtualBox on a Win7 64bit? (Jeos? Ubuntu 9.10 32bit or 64bit?)
[16:28] <Explore1> how can i upgrade the gstreamer on my machine?
[16:29] <^paradox^> anyone?
[16:30] <sephy> ^paradox^: That's for you to decide. The package manager will tell you when there's newer versions of a package
[16:30] <logan_> hola
[16:30] <lulu> hola logan
[16:30] <sephy> ^paradox^: As a golden rule, if it works, don't mess with it
[16:30] <logan_> quien eres te conosco
[16:30] <lulu> no, simplemente te vi lol
[16:31] <lulu> voy a #ebooks a buscar un libro de postgre :P
[16:31] <logan_> ahh aque te dedicas
[16:31] <oCean_> !english | logan_ lulu
[16:31] <^paradox^> sephy: so even if its offering updates now itd be better to wait on them in updates manager? just checking
[16:32] <paulus> well the link seems to be up now (just took some time) but still no ip - ifup eth0 just says "ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0"
[16:32] <triple_xxx> ^paradox^: I don't get the newer version ... I feel that is just another way for people to keep track off you... I think the newer version asks you to register...

[16:35] <^paradox^> triple_xxx: aside from that. frostwire was installed with a deb file in the first place i believe. not from repos or add/remove. so would updates still show in updates manager?

[16:47] <shadowwulf> IdleOne, nope
[16:47] <papul> is there a way to encrypt a home partition
[16:47] <maverick> what is the /etc/init.d/gdm restart equivalent in xubuntu?
[16:47] <IrIT> Hi. I have a G15 keyboard from logitech. I'ev just installed the g15daemon, and the display and multimedie buttons is working perfect. However, my extra buttons aren't recognized - not even with xev. Under keyboard settings I've chosen G15 logitech as layout?
[16:47] <IdleOne> shadowwulf: I don't know then. sorry
[16:47] <arvind_khadri> papul, yes, 9.10 provides it
[16:47] <papul> i mean a home folder
[16:48] <papul> arvind_khadri: how?
[16:48] <resno> how do i rollback a update to an earlier version? its for a kde package
[16:48] <freeride> arvind_khadri yes, i did. It worked perfectly, but today it doesn't connect to any account, by the way empathy doesn't work too
[16:48] <arvind_khadri> resno, rollback is not supported yet
[16:48] <onetinsoldier> hwilde: still no sound. just tried a .ogg file with audacious
[16:49] <papul> arvind_khadri: how?
[16:49] <wowoto> papul: man encrypt
[16:49] <arvind_khadri> papul, just a moment
[16:49] <resno> arvind_khadri: well, a friend of mine was able to do it before. as this problems appears not to be fixed on a recent update
[16:49] <hwilde> onetinsoldier, you have rebooted?  checked all the wires?  speakers are turned on?  try with headphones?
[16:49] <Urda> Question: How can I restart Ubuntu One? It doesn't seem to be responding
[16:49] <s3luk> no one can help or know where i can go besides google ??
[16:49] <onetinsoldier> hwilde: i think i might see part of the problem in alsamixer, not sure though
[16:49] <arvind_khadri> resno, rollback as in kde 3.5 to 3.4 or something like that?
[16:49] <onetinsoldier> hwilde: my sound works ok in 2 other operating systems.. winxp pro, and lucid alpha2
[16:50] <papul> wowoto: doesnt work
[16:50] <bastid_raZor> papul: you want to encrypt your home folder or home partition?
[16:50] <freeride> pidgin doesn't connect to any account and empathy doesn't work too. What's the problem?
[16:50] <^paradox^> bastid_raZor: so then i would need to download the deb to update it?
[16:50] <resno> arvind_khadri: no, kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4
[16:50] <papul> bastid_raZor: my home folder /home/papul
[16:50] <wgl> I seem to have an installation of karmic ubuntu that does not have /usr/bin/time installed.  What package might that be in?
[16:51] <arvind_khadri> papul, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-a-private-encrypted-folder-on-ubuntu-810-intrepid.html
[16:51] <resno> arvind_khadri: no, kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4
[16:51] <freeride> please help, pidgin doesn't connect to any account and empathy doesn't work too. What's the problem?
[16:51] <bastid_raZor> ^paradox^: yes, the benefit of installing by deb is the ability to uninstall easily.
[16:51] <arvind_khadri> resno, you want to go to kde3 ?
[16:51] <resno> arvind_khadri: i just want this kde issue to stop bugging me :)
[16:52] <resno> arvind_khadri: as i have unmet dependencies currently
[16:52] <arvind_khadri> resno, better to ask in #kubuntu
[16:52] <^paradox^> bastid_raZor: ok just wanted to be sure. didnt wanna screw anything up
[16:52] <onetinsoldier> hwilde: when i start 'alsamixer', it's showing the following card at the top-left --> Card: HDA ATI HDMI and Chip: ATI R6xx HDMI. I need X-Fi Titanium selected
[16:52] <papul> arvind_khadri: link doesnt work
[16:52] <arvind_khadri> papul, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-a-private-encrypted-folder-on-ubuntu-810-intrepid.html it works here
[16:52] <papul> bastid_raZor: ?
[16:52] <resno> arvind_khadri: the sad thing is, i dont use kde, but i never uninstalled it. thanks anyway.
[16:53] <hwilde> onetinsoldier, sytem-> pref-> sound    select the right output devices?
[16:53] <freeride> arvind_khadri please help, pidgin doesn't connect to any account and empathy doesn't work too. What's the problem?
[16:53] <^paradox^> guess itll always be updated with debs. hmmmm no problem. thanks
[16:53] <arvind_khadri> freeride, which network?
[16:53] <Craig_Dem> free_loader: Check your login details
[16:53] <freeride> arvind_khadri i've got router and automatic Ip
[16:54] <freeride> arvind_khadri ADSL
[16:54] <maverick> hwilde: sorry to interrupt, but are you having cracking sounds during games?
[16:54] <Al1> my skype webcam showing green video. I have ubuntu 9.10. I need somebody who could help me cose googlin around is without succes and it is driving me crazy
[16:54] <arvind_khadri> freeride, i meant aim,msn or google ...
[16:54] <shadowwulf> i have a live cd of ubuntu 9.10 i am trying to install the ubuntu CD and it is prompting me for a username and password .. how can i log in to install ?
[16:55] <freeride> arvind_khadri aim, msn and irc nothing works
[16:55] <hwilde> maverick, yes I do have some strange behavior with pulse and libsdl when multiple apps access soundcard
[16:55] <onetinsoldier> no. whenever i go there and select the X-Fi card... then hover my mouse over the speaker icon on the panel, the pop-up shows the X-Fi Titanium as selected. but if i open up the sound preferences and go to the 'Hardware' tab in there, it has the ATI HDMI selected
[16:55] <maverick> hwilde: what is the output of cat /proc/asound/version
[16:55] <hwilde> shadowwulf, that is not the expected behavior.  redownload and reburn the cd
[16:55] <hwilde> maverick, i dunno thats on my home machine, ask me in about 7 hrs
[16:56] <shadowwulf> hwilde, thanks
[16:56] <hwilde> maverick, but I did recompile asound and alsa from the latest svn trunk and still the same errors
[16:56] <maverick> hwilde: if thats your problem, then its alsa's fault...upgrading to the lastest version solved it for me (1.0.22)..
[16:56] <wowoto> shadowwulf: try to install ubuntu with LIVEUSB
[16:56] <hwilde> maverick, nah i have latest versions of everything
[16:56] <wowoto> shadowwulf: and have a look at www.unetbootin.com
[16:57] <maverick> hwilde: ohh...then i have no idea..what is the exact problem you are facing?
[16:57] <berl69> ah ah ah
[16:57] <arvind_khadri> freeride, no idea, am sorry
[16:57] <onetinsoldier> hwilde: if i do the lsmod command, it looks like it loading up drivers for both cards. snd_hda_codec_atihdmi, snd_ctxfi. perhpas if i can keep it from loading up the drivers for the ati hdmi card when i boot up?
[16:57] <freeride> arvind_khadri thanks anyway :)
[16:57] <hwilde> maverick, occasionally and randomly when two apps try to access soundcard it sounds like its coming form a  tin can.  I have lots of pastebins if you want to see but its at home
[16:57] <hwilde> onetinsoldier, you can blacklist modules
[16:57]  * wowoto go to bed @
[16:58] <maverick> hwilde: sounds like an alsa problem to me...is it occurring suddenly, or is it from the time you installed ubuntu
[16:58] <ninel> "SIOCGIFFLAGS error: No such device" what could be the error?
[16:58] <papul> i am not geting much help from the site
[16:58] <bastid_raZor> papul: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedHomeFolder
[16:58] <papul> ok
[16:59] <hwilde> maverick, only on recent updates.  it's a libsdl issue
[16:59] <sile> Hi! I was wondering if there's a way to change the calendar format in Ubuntu. I want Monday to be the first of the week instead of Sunday, but I can't find anything to do this in the calendar preferences.
[16:59] <maverick> hwilde: did you try rolling back to the previous version then?
[16:59] <onetinsoldier> hwilde: roger. this started happening when i 1) installed the propietary ATI Video drivers, then i made an xorg.conf file with the following commands --> sudo Xorg -configure, aticonfig --initial (both as root user)

[17:01] <hwilde> maverick, I am not debugging that at the moment, but message me in about 5 hrs when I am at home and I will send you all the info
[17:01] <maverick> hwilde: ok..
[17:01] <Migi32> hey everyone, what's a good alternative to vnstat that produces *reliable* data?
[17:01]  * Homely_Girl blows kisses to all who responded, thank you!! :)
[17:02] <maverick> hwilde: but i doubt i would be able to help you, i am a sort of a newbie
[17:02] <solipsist> can someone help me with newbie installation stuff?
[17:02] <maverick> solipsist: fire away
[17:02] <soreau> solipsist: Not if you dont ask your question
[17:02] <onetinsoldier> hwilde: i'm going to remove my xorg.conf file, then do 'aticonfig --initial' on an empty xorg.conf file and reboot and see what happens. if your still here i'll let you know what happens
[17:02] <chazco> Hi... does anyone know how I can setup LIRC on Ubuntu 9.10?
[17:02] <solipsist> well i don't know what's wrong.
[17:02] <solipsist> i can't install anything from source
[17:02] <maverick> solipsist: pastebin your compilation errors
[17:03] <ninel> I am with wvdial problem anyone would help me dig down why I always dont get the prompt for  "Default Key Ring" which doesn't let it recognise my modem?
[17:03] <soreau> solipsist: 1) Why are you trying to compile from source 2) What package? 3) What are you trying and what errors do you receive?
[17:03] <Migi32> hey everyone, what's a good alternative to vnstat that produces *reliable* data?
[17:03] <IdleOne> solipsist: you probably need to install build-essential " sudo apt-get install build-essential " but search in Synaptic for the app first
[17:04] <pat|nG> if i install ubuntu thru livecd after installing is it ready to work?
[17:04] <solipsist> i'm trying to install aircrack-ng but it said i don't have the permissions to.
[17:04] <freeride> pat|nG sure it is
[17:04] <ninel> pat|nG: it should be okay
[17:05] <maverick> solipsist: permission errors are usually solved by using sudo before your commands
[17:05] <soreau> pat|nG: Short answer, yes
[17:05] <pat|nG> thank u
[17:05] <bastid_raZor> pat|nG: yes and no, there are some updates you should do, but you don't have to  if yo udont want.
[17:05] <asla> hello
[17:05] <ninel> I'd be grateful if anyone would help me dig down my wvdial problems
[17:06] <solipsist> well why can't i just download this with "sudo aptitude install aircrack-ng"
[17:06] <Migi32> hey everyone, what's a good alternative to vnstat that produces *reliable* data?
[17:06] <solipsist> why won't that work?
[17:06] <ninel> my Karmic dont popup the Modem connectivity
[17:06] <solipsist> i've never had to install anything from source
[17:06] <Migi32> or rather, how do I reliably monitor my incoming/outgoing traffic?
[17:06] <Al1> is anybody here who could help me to fix my problem with green video on skype? I have ubuntu 9.10
[17:06] <soreau> solipsist: If you have compiled it successfully, install it with sudo make install
[17:06] <ninel> Migi32: gnome-system-monitor ?
[17:07] <solipsist> make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
[17:07] <llutz> !checkinstall | solipsist
[17:07] <llutz> !compile | solipsist
[17:07] <psyk> So apparently since 7.10 this problem has existed and has never been fixed. I have an intel sound chip and a realtek sound card, and sound doesn't work. Yes, I've made sure that nothing was muted in alsamixer etc
[17:07] <soreau> solipsist: You need to run make && sudo make install from the source directory..
[17:07] <llutz> soreau: pls don't recommend "make install"
[17:07] <IdleOne> solipsist: what error do you get when you run sudo aptitude install aircrack-ng?
[17:07] <soreau> llutz: Meh
[17:07] <sheldon_2> hello every one.. i can see ample amount of screen tearing while moving windows
[17:07] <sheldon_2> can any one help me?
[17:08] <Migi32> ninel, the problem is that gnome-system-monitor doesn't keep a history of bandwith usage
[17:08] <soreau> !info aircrack-ng
[17:08] <solipsist> no error
[17:08] <solipsist> it does everything right
[17:08] <llutz> soreau: installing besides packagemanagement is a stupid idea, use at least checkinstall
[17:08] <solipsist> but then the program doesn't show up
[17:08] <ninel> solipsist: A good tutorial for you can be "how to install Google's Go on Ubuntu"
[17:08] <soreau> solipsist: Its already in the repos so you dont need to install anything from source
[17:08] <llutz> soreau: in your case: pls recommend that :)
[17:08] <solipsist> so what command do i use?
[17:08] <zagabar> I configured my server to forward from eth1 and wlan0 to eth0 so that I could use it as a router kinda. ICS in other words. That works great. However now another problem arose because of it. I cannot connect to my mailserver anymore with like mozilla firebird or squirrelmail. What can be the cause for this?
[17:08] <soreau> llutz: I didnt know ubuntu had aircrack in the repos
[17:09] <sheldon_2> any one please help me with my screen tearing issue
[17:09] <IdleOne> solipsist: run aircrack-ng
[17:09] <usuario__> alex
[17:09] <soreau> solipsist: If you already have installed aircrack-ng package, you shouldnt need to do anything else
[17:09] <solipsist> idleone: bash: run: command not found
[17:09] <IdleOne> just aircrack-ng
[17:09] <solipsist> i can't find the program though
[17:10] <rainy-day> upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10, is it ok to just do apt-get dist-upgrade or is this risky and it's best to do a clean install?
[17:10] <soreau> solipsist: aircrack-ng.org
[17:10] <sheldon_2> IdleOne: I have geforce 9400gt and just installed nvidia drivers from the hardware drivers option..
[17:10] <sheldon_2> IdleOne: but i can see ample amount of screen tearing
[17:10] <sheldon_2> IdleOne: while moving the windows
[17:10] <solipsist> i can't run it because i can't find it
[17:10] <Migi32> hey everyone, what's a good alternative to vnstat that produces *reliable* data?
[17:10] <soreau> solexious: Type aircrack-ng and press enter
[17:10] <IdleOne> sheldon_2: I don't have nvidia and have no clue how to help you witrh it
[17:10] <onetinsoldier> hwilde: don't know if you saw what i said to you a bit ago, but i tried it. didn't work
[17:10] <mattgrey> Hey! A friend installed ubuntu on my laptop but I can't find Internet Explorer! Where can I download it?
[17:11] <IdleOne> with*
[17:11] <sheldon_2> IdleOne: thank you very much
[17:11] <solipsist> bash: aircrack.ng: command not found
[17:11] <arvind_khadri> rainy-day, that wont take you from 9.04 to 9.10
[17:11] <IdleOne> solipsist:  it's a - not .
[17:11] <solipsist> can someone tell me where to find this program if i supposively installed it already?
[17:11] <soreau> solipsist: Pastebin the output of sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng
[17:11] <rainy-day> arvind_khadri: so what's the best way to upgrade?
[17:11] <paulus68> to surf at work I use putty to create a "proxy" through secure ssh is there a way that I can check how much trafic I have while surfing like this?
[17:11] <soreau> ! who | solipsist
[17:12] <soreau> ! paste | solipsist
[17:12] <onetinsoldier> mattgrey: ubuntu doesn't come with Internet Exploder. use Mozilla Firefox or Opera... or perhaps Google Chrome can be installed in linux as well, but not certain
[17:12] <arvind_khadri> rainy-day, gksu update-manager -D
[17:12] <IdleOne> soreau: his issue is how to run it. he said the install completed just can't find it in menus
[17:12] <sheldon_2> ubottu: I am having screen tearing issues with ubuntu.. I am on 9400gt and 185 drivers..
[17:12] <mattgrey> Does nobody else of you have a problem with Internet Explorer?
[17:12] <sheldon_2> ubottu: can you help me please?
[17:12] <onetinsoldier> mattgrey: ubuntu doesn't come with MS Internet Exploder. use Mozilla Firefox or Opera... or perhaps Google Chrome can be installed in linux as well, but not certain
[17:13] <Jowi> mattgrey, IE is not available. use Firefox.
[17:13] <solipsist> i can't remember who says what because the chat goes so fast. why can't IRC people just message like normal people in private?
[17:13] <Shirack> can anyone point me to the help channel?
[17:13] <IdleOne> sheldon_2: please be patient. ask your question ( all on one line ) and if someone knows they will help
[17:13] <mattgrey> I don't like firefox. I need IE.
[17:13] <soreau> Bah, I see the problem
[17:13] <PhoenixGI> OneTineSoldier: yes, there is a Ubuntu/Deb build of chrome
[17:13] <nastas> solipsist: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/ read first.
[17:13] <David1284> ubotto
[17:13] <soreau> solipsist: aircrack-ng not aircrack.ng
[17:13] <David1284> ubottu:
[17:13] <soreau> There is a difference
[17:13] <Pici> David1284: ubottu is a program, its not a person that can repsond.
[17:13] <solipsist> i know i installed it with aircrack-ng
[17:13] <paulus68> to surf at work I use putty to create a "proxy" through secure ssh is there a way that I can check how much trafic I have while surfing like this?
[17:13] <s3luk> help!!
[17:13] <Shirack> anyone know the ubuntu help channel?
[17:13] <Pici> !ask
[17:13] <Pici> Shirack: You're here!
[17:13] <onetinsoldier> mattgrey: your not going to get internet explorer installed into linux
[17:13] <nastas> solipsist: just read
[17:13] <s3luk> why does /dev/dsp perminantly have sound at it
[17:14] <Jowi> mattgrey, your only solution is to install Windows then.
[17:14] <David1284> ubottu: master volume on panel
[17:14] <soreau> solipsist: aircrack-ng is an advanced program not for the novice user. You need to read how to use it at aircrack-ng.org
[17:14] <mattgrey> But firefox has privacy and security issues..
[17:14] <s3luk> even tho its /dev/dsp_in that recieves the sound
[17:14] <IdleOne> solipsist: you are running the wrong command. aircrack-ng is correct. aircrack.ng is incorrect
[17:14] <s3luk> $££$%!%
[17:14] <rainy-day> arvind_khadri: it tells me 'gksu: option requires an argument -- 'D'
[17:14] <paulus68> Pici: do you hhave a sugestion by any chance?
[17:14] <arvind_khadri> sheldon_2, 185 drivers arent stable, come down to something stable i would say 173 or so
[17:14] <solipsist> okay so the package is installed on my desktop. what am i supposed to do next and with what command?
[17:14] <arvind_khadri> rainy-day, just a moment
[17:15] <David1284> is there a way to get the master volume on the panel instead of the application bar?
[17:15] <Moose_> join #python
[17:15] <rainy-day> arvind_khadri: ok it works without -D
[17:15] <Shirack> can anyone help. having problems setting up my 9.10 wireless
[17:15] <arvind_khadri> rainy-day, sorry its -d not -D :S
[17:15] <sheldon_2> arvind_khadri: thanks for the advice. I will try it
[17:15] <David1284> i really like when the volume is in the upper right corner so i dont have to look when i want to change the volume
[17:15] <David1284> is there a way to get the master volume on the panel instead of the application bar?
[17:15] <solipsist> can someone private message me?
[17:16] <rainy-day> arvind_khadri: thanks!
[17:16] <nastas> solipsist: what exactly is your issue?
[17:16] <paulus68> to surf at work I use putty to create a "proxy" through secure ssh is there a way that I can check how much trafic I have while surfing like this?
[17:16] <IdleOne> David1284: right click on the panel > add to panel
[17:16] <arvind_khadri> rainy-day, np, yw :)
[17:16] <arvind_khadri> !wifi | Shirack
[17:16] <Shirack> any ubuntu tech admin that can help me with a wireless issue here?
[17:17] <solipsist> nastas: i'm trying to install aircrack-ng and can't do this chat-talk thing very well
[17:17] <David1284> it worked before IdleOne, but since i installed 9.10 this option has disappeared
[17:17] <IdleOne> David1284: try reseting your panel to default. see !panels
[17:17] <David1284> ok, i'll have a look
[17:17] <IdleOne> !panels
[17:18] <David1284> but it was like this default
[17:18] <David1284> its a clean install
[17:18] <Al1> i have a green video in skype and i am total helpless. I have ubuntu 9.10. Please help me somebody!
[17:18] <solipsist> can someone private message me to help with installing something?
[17:18] <Shirack> im missing options in network connections gui from a fresh ubuntu 9.10 install so i cant connect
[17:18] <kosmosas> hello
[17:18] <Shirack> only have vpn connection options
[17:18] <IdleOne> David1284: something got screwy :) who knows, reset and hopefuly you will experience the ubuntu of ubuntu
[17:18] <kahen> is there a way to get rid of the new volume display and get the old one back?
[17:18] <Myrtti> !pm | solipsist
[17:18] <paulus68> to surf at work I use putty to create a "proxy" through secure ssh is there a way that I can check how much trafic I generate while surfing like this?
[17:18] <onetinsoldier> paulus68: perhaps install and run 'iptraf' (or a similar util) on the relevant machine?
[17:18] <llutz> solipsist: type into a terminal "sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng && man aircrack-ng"
[17:18] <arvind_khadri> Shirack, switch over to wicd
[17:19] <Shirack> arvind how to i do this?
[17:19] <paulus68> onetinsoldier: so I install this on my server?
[17:19] <arvind_khadri> Shirack, sudo aptitude install wicd
[17:19] <Pici> paulus68: Or perhaps iftop if don't mind running something interactive to see total traffic
[17:19] <kosmosas> How can I restore dependencies which I installed not long ago ? I dont need them anymore how can I restore changes made to my  system , I am using ubuntu 9.10
[17:19] <solipsist> llutz: it told me aircrack-ng is already the newest version.
[17:20] <solipsist> i already installed it, i just can't find the program
[17:20] <llutz> solipsist: type into a terminal "man aircrack-ng"
[17:20] <killaxxl> can some one help me install apache2?
[17:20] <wilstar> hi
[17:20] <onetinsoldier> paulus68: sure. i always start with 'iptraf' to monitor any network stuff. i love iptraf. i'd install it on all machines if you can :-)
[17:20] <kahen> specifically i don't want this "fancy" gray/black thing at the top right. i prefer the small-ish themed one that used to be slightly below the middle of the screen
[17:20] <killaxxl> please pm
[17:20] <IdleOne> !lamp > killaxxl
[17:20] <Pici> killaxxl: sudo apt-get install apache2
[17:20] <paulus68> Pici: ok thanks
[17:20] <llutz> solipsist: it's a commandline app, no menu no gui no clicky
[17:20] <xteejx> Hey guys, is there any package which does the same job that PeerGuardian or Peerblock does in Windoze for Ubuntu, i.e. use blocklists for P2P?
[17:21] <llutz> hard to become a hacker today
[17:21] <paulus68> onetinsoldier: is there a way to do this just monitoring 1 port in particular?
[17:21] <Shirack> sudo aptitude install wicd - Gives me "command not found"
[17:21] <solipsist> llutz: thanks.
[17:21] <nastas> Shirack: why do you need wicd?
[17:21] <onetinsoldier> paulus68: let me look at iptraf's options.. hang on
[17:21] <paulus68> onetinsoldier: ok
[17:21] <Shirack> ok i had a typo
[17:21] <maverick> nastas: coz wicd is a 100 times better for wired connections
[17:22] <arvind_khadri> Shirack, ?? sudo apt-get install wicd
[17:22] <Shirack> someone told me to do it
[17:22] <Shirack> can you help with wireless setup nastas
[17:22] <nastas> did you check pm Shirack?
[17:22] <Shirack> im missing the usual options from the network conecctions gui following fresh install
[17:22] <killaxxl> pici: i did the apache2 install and tried http://localhost and it worked but when i tried to ssh it just times out
[17:23] <arvind_khadri> Shirack, wicd is a better manager, and is prefered for wireless
[17:23] <Jowi> onetinsoldier, that's a nice app. I hadn't seen it before.
[17:23] <Pici> killaxxl: ssh is not apache, did you install the ssh package?
[17:23] <onetinsoldier> Jowi: cheers. glad you like it
[17:23] <killaxxl> pici: lemme double check, brb
[17:23] <paulus68> onetinsoldier: is this also good for commandline only?
[17:23] <keroy> bin bestimmt falsch hier ich suche einen recorder fürs tv
[17:23] <llutz> keroy: vdr
[17:24] <llutz> !de | keroy
[17:24] <keroy> thx
[17:24] <onetinsoldier> paulus68: yes. iptraf is an ncurses command line util. i'm not sure i see a way in it to monitor just one single port. but there may be a way to do it
[17:25] <paulus68> onetinsoldier: ok I will take a look into it
[17:25] <yeason> when I try to compile vlc from source I get an error telling me to recompile with -fPIC. I'm pretty sure I need to add that to global CFLAGS and recompile some of my libraries, etc. Is there someone who can help me out with this?
[17:25] <kahen> whoever wanted PeerBlock... A) the source code is public. B) the list of "bad" IPs is public. C) iptables exists. it should be easy(-ish) to whip something up that does what you want
[17:26] <xteejx> kahen: It was me :)
[17:27] <paulus68> onetinsoldier: once installed does it run by default or do you have to start it each time?
[17:28] <Dravekx> how do I install lamp server on ubuntu server?

[17:29] <paulus68> onetinsoldier: ubuntu
[17:30] <MartinSt> legend: this is most probably a hardware error. save your data and buy a new drive, do not excessivly use this drive, it will damage further.
[17:30] <onetinsoldier> paulus68: ??
[17:31] <paulus68> onetinsoldier: thought you where takling to me when you wrote in?
[17:31] <lengend> ok MartinSt, thank you

[17:33] <amy_> hi

[17:34] <genii> !ask
[17:34] <brad[werk]> amy_: Go ahead
[17:34] <amy_> when I go on the websites, such as yahoo.hk, lots of adverts keeps on popping up
[17:34] <Dravekx> clear
[17:34] <amy_> is there a way to get rid of them
[17:34] <freeride> how to apt-get OA&M??
[17:34] <MartinSt> use adblock plus extension with firefox
[17:35] <sipior> freeride: OA&M?
[17:35] <Xbert> amy_, try the firefox add-on called adblock+
[17:35] <freeride> sipior Operations, Administration and Maintenance
[17:35] <amy_> where can I get it from?
[17:35] <amy_> do I need to download anything?
[17:36] <MartinSt> amy: addons.mozilla.com
[17:36] <sipior> freeride: that was fairly non-obvious.
[17:36] <Xbert> amy_,  addons.mozilla.com and search for adblock
[17:36] <ariadna> que?
[17:36] <amy_> ok
[17:36] <llutz> !info  adblock-plus
[17:37] <ariadna> my name is ariadna

[17:37] <amy_> thanks
[17:38] <ariadna> hello
[17:38] <ariadna> hello
[17:38] <s3luk> can some one tell me how you install the LADSPA plugins for ecamegapedal??
[17:38] <onetinsoldier> my sound suddenly stopped working the other day in karmic. i have 2 sound cards listed in 'sound preferences' a ATI HDMI that's onboard my ati video card, and an X-Fi Titanium sound card in a pci-x slot. my sound was working fine with the X-Fi card selected until yesterday. my sound does work fine in 2 other OS's, WinXP Pro and Ubuntu Lucid Alpha2. anyone think they might be able to help me get it working in Karmic again?
[17:38] <fcuk112> i want to dual boot win7/karmic, i am planning to resize my win7 partition and install karmic on the free space.  do i still need to allocate swap if i have 8GB of RAM?
[17:38] <sipior> ariadna: there are around 1300 people in this channel, friend. was there something we could help you with?
[17:38] <IdleOne> ariadna: this is not a chat channel if you would like to chat please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:39] <IdleOne> fcuk112: probably not
[17:39] <Xbert> fcuk112, you don't have to but it would still be recommended
[17:39] <chadwin> exit
[17:39] <llutz> fcuk112: you alwys can add swap-files later, if really needed
[17:40] <grendal_prime> hey is there a way to unlink a huge dir on a ciffs share.
[17:40] <fcuk112> llutz: does karmic automatically use a swap file?  or do you have to do some config?
[17:40] <Xbert> fcuk112, the install will alert you that you have no swap you can ignore the warning
[17:40] <Guig00> hi everybody
[17:40] <onetinsoldier> hi
[17:40] <llutz> fcuk112: idk, i guess you have to do it manually

[17:40] <fcuk112> ok thx.
[17:41] <Guig00> somebody knew a Super Mario theme for ubuntu?

[17:42] <brad[werk]> d1g1t4l_nrg: I didn't find it difficult at all, I did a remote install using root on LVM on top of MD RAID1 and it's now a VM server
[17:42] <d1g1t4l_nrg> anybody have a opinion on the installation of ubuntu
[17:43] <Xbert> d1g1t4l_nrg, i just did an install, it took me 20 mins to get it running
[17:43] <brad[werk]> d1g1t4l_nrg: All steps were performed using the installation manager
[17:43] <d1g1t4l_nrg> wow sounds cool
[17:43] <d1g1t4l_nrg> ah very nice
[17:43] <Xbert> d1g1t4l_nrg,  as easy as doing a desktop install just with a text installer
[17:43] <thiebaude> d1g1t4l_nrg: install is easy, been doing it over 4 yrs
[17:43] <d1g1t4l_nrg> what sort of hardware are you running.
[17:44] <M1TE5H> how to connect samsung phone in ubuntu 9.10 for net
[17:44] <d1g1t4l_nrg> and are you running any mail, ftp, fileservers and db on this.
[17:44] <llutz> hard work begins after server-installation
[17:44] <maverick> suddenly now, i cannot play mp3s...i know a restart will fix the problem, but i want to know why they are not playing currently?
[17:44] <Xfact> Unix and Linux has any major difference?
[17:44] <Dravekx> d1g1t4l_nrg, im a 2 month ex-windows server fanatic.. I wont go back. i love the install. its easy. i have 3 Dell T105s.
[17:44] <rainy-day> how can I restore/recreate cdrom device(s) in /dev/ ?
[17:44] <fcuk112> brad[werk]: what does virt-manager do?
[17:44] <thiebaude> d1g1t4l_nrg: i have dual amd opteron 164's with nvidia 8400 gs (521mb video ram)
[17:45] <Xbert> d1g1t4l_nrg,  HP server, yes running SSH,APACHE,MYSQL, all installed automatically with the installer
[17:45] <xteejx> I want to use MoBlock, but I'm using Lucid, can I use karmic packages from the PPA on Lucid?
[17:45] <brad[werk]> fcuk112: It's a graphical frontend for libvirt, which is in turn a frontend for a bunch of new virtualization technologies native to Linux
[17:45] <maverick> nevermind, it starting working now, strange
[17:45] <brad[werk]> fcuk112: Essentially provides a GUI for creating virtual machines without having to use something legacy like VMware
[17:45] <hwilde> maverick, pastebin /var/log/syslog  and /var/log/dmesg
[17:46] <n00p> How might I recognise information regarding my expresscard bus using lspci? Are there any particular identifiers used to identify an expresscard bus?
[17:46] <Xbert> xteejx, has it been removed ? i think the package is called blockcontrol now?
[17:47] <onetinsoldier> my sound suddenly stopped working the other day in karmic. i have 2 sound cards listed in 'sound preferences' a ATI HDMI that's onboard my ati video card, and an X-Fi Titanium sound card in a pci-x slot. my sound was working fine with the X-Fi card selected until yesterday. my sound does work fine in 2 other OS's, WinXP Pro and Ubuntu Lucid Alpha2. anyone think they might be able to help me get it working in Karmic again?
[17:47] <d1g1t4l_nrg> Brad which of the t105s did you buy there are 3 models available.
[17:47] <maverick> hwilde: i have analyzed that i cant play mp3s while im playing flash online and vice versa lol..
[17:48] <d1g1t4l_nrg> wow well thanks for the info.
[17:48] <Dravekx> d1g1t4l_nrg, I have 2 of the expensive ones, and 1 of the $300 ones.
[17:48] <d1g1t4l_nrg> I have a couple of boxes at home so i will try the install on one of them.
[17:48] <fcuk112> brad[werk]: how is it better than virtualbox?
[17:49] <natrixnatrix89> if I run ubuntu server. Is it possible to connect it to a wifi network?
[17:49] <d1g1t4l_nrg> anyone have this on a Xdsl provider
[17:49] <TorMentor> anyone here that is a expert at X and the configuration of it?
[17:49] <Xbert> natrixnatrix89, yes
[17:49] <Jowi> natrixnatrix89, yes, provided that you set it up to do so.
[17:49] <d1g1t4l_nrg> Brad do u really see a difference on those vs a regular pc?
[17:50] <natrixnatrix89> Jowi: how do i set it up to do so?
[17:50] <Jowi> natrixnatrix89, a server setup is pretty bare bones.
[17:50] <onetinsoldier> TorMentor: you'd be better off stating what the actual problem is, or asking how you can do what it is you actually want to do
[17:50] <kainam00> I have a CUPS related question, can anyone here help?
[17:50] <kainam00> Basically - I have a PDF printer set up on a Linux box through CUPS and available via the network via LP (port 515).
[17:50] <kainam00> I'm trying to have a remote host, that runs a proprietary application designed to print to PCL supporting printers, print to this Linux box, and for the jobs to come out as PDFs. So far, the jobs come through fine, but the PCL codes do not get interpreted correctly. Meaning that I'm not getting the correct fonts or form feeds, just the codes printing out as part of the "text".
[17:50] <kainam00> Is there a way to have the print jobs go through some sort of PCL supporting driver before going to PDF?
[17:50] <FloodBot1> kainam00: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:50] <brad[werk]> fcuk112: That's a matter of debate I'm sure ;P
[17:51] <Jowi> natrixnatrix89, depends on what you want on your server. by default, the server install does not include a window manager.
[17:51] <d1g1t4l_nrg> well have to get going thanks a bunch for the information.
[17:51] <TorMentor> onetinsoldier: ah ok. I have just got myself a htpc. I want it to run at resolution 1920x1080. THe problem is that nvidia-settings wont let me choose that res
[17:51] <kainam00> Anyone help - http://paste.ubuntu.com/359126/
[17:52] <TorMentor> according
[17:52] <natrixnatrix89> Jowi: all I want is to make a small server that would be connected to a local weather station with serial port, and that would connect to wifi to be always online, so I could get this weather info..
[17:52] <n00p> Does anyone know how I might identify information regarding manufacturer/make of an expresscard bus?
[17:52] <kernel_geek> Hello why do I get an error message with pidgin in msn if I try to send a link (quite long) ?
[17:52] <Shapeshifter> Guys. Is there a firefox 3 package that _doesn't_ install freakin' synaptics as a dependency??
[17:52] <onetinsoldier> TorMentor: not sure, but you may need to install the Nvidia proprietary drivers.
[17:52] <brad[werk]> fcuk112: The main attraction to libvirt based virtualization is the amount of development muscle behind it - VirtualBox is an excellent app and I actually use it on all my workstations, but I have trouble seeing it deployed on a large number of servers while maintaining easy management
[17:52] <Bt4Newbie> hello
[17:52] <Bt4Newbie> everybody
[17:52] <brad[werk]> fcuk112: Incidentally, one nice thing about virt-manager is that it can connect to virtualbox instances and manage them too
[17:52] <TorMentor> if i start gdm without a xorg.conf then it will use my resolution
[17:53] <d1g1t4l_nrg> bye the way i could not beleive how easy it was to install my wireless adapter and the scanner in unbuntu
[17:53] <d1g1t4l_nrg> sorry ubuntu
[17:53] <geirha> natrixnatrix89: ''man interfaces'' and ''man iwconfig''  should have the necessary information on how to set up wifi on the server.
[17:53] <brad[werk]> Which is handy because my personal colo box is not capable of running Xen or KVM in HVM mode
[17:53] <Jowi> natrixnatrix89, "wicd" includes console tools for managing wifi. it's pretty good.
[17:53] <hwilde> kainam00, pcl is hp proprietary, but you can try  hp2xx to convert it
[17:53] <brad[werk]> How come we all hate networkmanager now :\
[17:53] <onetinsoldier> TorMentor: they are also known as 'restricted-drivers'. were you prompted to install the nvidia restricted-drivers when you first booted up into ubuntu?
[17:53] <d1g1t4l_nrg> have a great day everyone.
[17:53] <natrixnatrix89> thanks geirha and Jowi. Ill try that..
[17:53] <d1g1t4l_nrg> and thanks again.
[17:54] <kainam00> hwilde, how do I go about it? Do I set the driver in the PDF printer to hp2xx?
[17:54] <Xenefungus> new install of 9.10, flash works out of the box (o_O) but no sound in flash videos? _K_ubuntu that is, but their channel isnt helpful at all
[17:54] <TorMentor> onetinsoldier: i installed the one using hardware drivers.
[17:54] <hwilde> kainam00, you would have to capture the pcl, convert with hp2xx, then print that
[17:54] <Bt4Newbie> could I have some help with modules?
[17:54] <nintnint> quick question, that dvd drive in my laptop, what is that bay called?  Like if I wanted to look for a hard drive expansion to fit in that bay, what would I be looking for?
[17:55] <TorMentor> aka restricted drivers gui :D
[17:55] <_Darkstar_> hello i need to knw if their is a shortcut to logout of ubuntu?
[17:55] <fcuk112> brad[werk]: i sometimes help out with MOTU packaging, will take a look into it when i get some time.  thanks for your info.
[17:55] <onetinsoldier> TorMentor: ok, keep asking. i'm not sure how to help with the resolution
[17:55] <_Darkstar_> i have tried alt+f4
[17:55] <hwilde> _Darkstar_, ctrl alt backspace  should logout
[17:55] <_Darkstar_> ok thanks lemme try
[17:55] <n00p> (nintnint) I'd look for second harddrive enclosure for your particular model.
[17:55] <kainam00> hwilde, so, do I set up another printer in CUPS with that driver, but pointed to output to my CUPS PDF printer? Or do I need to pipe it through the driver on a lower level somehow?
[17:56] <TorMentor> onetinsoldier: do you know if there is a way tro save the current options to a file?
[17:56] <hwilde> kainam00, i guess option b, but i dunno really
[17:56] <nintnint> what do you mean, I do not understand
[17:56] <TorMentor> onetinsoldier: im talking of xorg.conf
[17:56] <n00p> Nintnint, what's your laptop?
[17:56] <nintnint> emachines n-10.  an old piece of junk but my piece of junk
[17:56] <onetinsoldier> TorMentor: it's probably already in a file --> /etc/X11/xorg.conf - if they're not in there, then i'm don't know, no
[17:57] <TorMentor> onetinsoldier:  i deleted that file to get gdm to reset it. But it didn't save the settings into it.
[17:57] <mtoroyarzo> w
[17:58] <_DarkStar_> is their a command in terminal to log out of ubuntu?
[17:58] <_DarkStar_> pretty desperate here
[17:58] <TorMentor> onetinsoldier: ill try to restart gdm to see if that saves my xorg.conf. BRB
[17:58] <llutz> exit
[17:58] <onetinsoldier> TorMentor: i'm not sure how for an nvidia card. i use ati here
[17:58] <onetinsoldier> my sound suddenly stopped working the other day in karmic. i have 2 sound cards listed in 'sound preferences' a ATI HDMI that's onboard my ati video card, and an X-Fi Titanium sound card in a pci-x slot. my sound was working fine with the X-Fi card selected until yesterday. my sound does work fine in 2 other OS's, WinXP Pro and Ubuntu Lucid Alpha2. anyone think they might be able to help me get it working in Karmic again?
[17:58] <bloodski> i've got a problem with hdmi, it overscans the resolution, which makes the edges not visible, any ideas?
[17:59] <_DarkStar_> llutz: exit?
[17:59] <_DarkStar_> is their a command in terminal to log out of ubuntu?
[17:59] <maverick>  DarkStar: sudo stop gdm ?
[17:59] <n00p> (nintnint) get on google and search for: Emachines n-10 second hdd <--- you could add enclosure to that query.
[17:59] <maverick> _DarkStar_: sudo stop gdm ?
[17:59] <hwilde> TorMentor, if you rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then restart gdm it will generate a failsafe default file for you.
[17:59] <_DarkStar_> maverick: gdm is an unknown cmd
[17:59] <TorMentor> bloodski: nvidia has a setting to allow the monitor(tv) to do the scaling to fit.
[17:59] <maverick> _DarkStar_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[18:00] <onetinsoldier> _DarkStar_: try sudo service gdm stop
[18:00] <tkmr> how about init3
[18:00] <tkmr> ?
[18:00] <mamooli> is there a graphical interface for mysql on ubuntu?
[18:00] <TorMentor> hwilde: when is that config generated at start or when closing X?
[18:01] <hwilde> TorMentor, at start
[18:01] <albyptc> ciao
[18:01] <TorMentor> hwilde: that's odd. i dont have that file. and x is running at the resolution i want
[18:02] <bloodski> TorMentor: where is that setting? im using nvidia ion platform
[18:02] <thrityfour> mamooli "sudo apt-cache seach mysql gui" replies mysql-admin
[18:02] <hwilde> TorMentor, are you sure?  it is using:   /etc/X11/xorg.conf     check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[18:02] <thrityfour> I have no experience with it, though
[18:02] <n00p> (nintnint) I've found a few, but I'm not sure if they'll go in your computer. You'd need to verify.
[18:03] <TorMentor> bloodski: start nvidia control panel and i had it at a tab below the temp meters
[18:03] <nintnint> nah, I don't need anymore storage really.
[18:03] <nintnint> but thanks anyway
[18:03] <bloodski> okay, thx for the info TorMentor, i'll check it out
[18:03] <TorMentor> hwilde: it can't be using /etc/X11/xorg.conf it doesn't exist :P
[18:04] <hwilde> TorMentor, look in the log I told you and figure out wth it is doing.
[18:05] <sharperguy> Right so I'm trying to install UNR on this acer aspire one. My problem is I don't have a dedicated USB stick. I have a hard drive with an extra partition I could use, but would it actually be possible to boot from this partition?
[18:05] <n00p> Ok. Does anyone have any idea how I might identify my expresscard bus information in Ubuntu? I need information that will help to install drivers on my other FreeBSD machine.
[18:06] <maverick> n00p: try Restricted Drivers from the system --> administration menu?
[18:06] <n00p> No restricted drivers item in that menu.
[18:07] <n00p> There is a hardware drivers item, but that lists only my WAN adapter.
[18:07] <Bt4Newbie>  sorry could I have some help...the channel is busy...
[18:07] <TorMentor> hwilde: it says its using default built-in configuration. Then it does a scan on whats available and registers the EDIDs as i want it to.
[18:07] <erUSUL> !ask | Bt4Newbie
[18:07] <nintnint> so where is the c: drive if i install some programs in wine?
[18:08] <Bt4Newbie> ok
[18:08] <nintnint> I installed foobar2k and I want to put in cdisplay but I don't remember where it is.
[18:08] <sharperguy> nintnint, ~/.wine/drive_c
[18:08] <TorMentor> nintnint: ~/.wine/
[18:08] <Bt4Newbie> I have 3945 ABG Intel Wireless
[18:08] <nintnint> oop, yep, there it is
[18:08] <sharperguy> nintnint, You can also change it with winecfg
[18:08] <Bt4Newbie> how can I install the modules in backtrack4
[18:09] <nintnint> well, if I install cdisplay, and its program is CDisplay.exe, how can I run that with Alt-F2
[18:09] <Bt4Newbie> Intel Pro doesn't inject packets...
[18:09] <Bt4Newbie> but I read is possible to install the modules
[18:10] <onetinsoldier> n00p: hello. if you're just wanting to gather info on your hardware, try --> sudo lshw | less
[18:10] <Bt4Newbie> ipraw
[18:10] <n00p> Ty onetinsoldier, will do now.
[18:10] <onetinsoldier> n00p: cheers
[18:10] <lighta> sharperguy, if you change your ./wine/c : folder to an old C: from windows would it be fine ?
[18:11] <Bt4Newbie> WELL?
[18:11] <onetinsoldier> my sound suddenly stopped working the other day in karmic. i have 2 sound cards listed in 'sound preferences' a ATI HDMI that's onboard my ati video card, and an X-Fi Titanium sound card in a pci-x slot. my sound was working fine with the X-Fi card selected until yesterday. my sound does work fine in 2 other OS's, WinXP Pro and Ubuntu Lucid Alpha2. anyone think they might be able to help me get it working in Karmic again?
[18:11] <Bt4Newbie> it's so caotic here
[18:11] <sharperguy> lighta, I don't think so. AFAIK wine uses different DLLs which make it compatible with linux (somebody correct me if I'm wrong)
[18:11] <Bt4Newbie> can i speak in pvt?
[18:11] <llutz> Bt4Newbie: this is ubuntu, no backtrack support here
[18:11] <nintnint> well, if I install cdisplay, and its program is CDisplay.exe, how can I run that with Alt-F2
[18:11] <Bt4Newbie> -.- tanks a lot
[18:12] <sharperguy> nintnint, yeah I'm typing a response
[18:12] <Bt4Newbie> -.- tanks a lot -> llutz
[18:12] <mikebeecham> hi there, I wonder if it's possible for me to connect my Android phone to my ubuntu machine, and use my ubuntu's internet connection on my phone?
[18:12] <TorMentor> nintnint: "wine ~/.wine/c_drive/Program\ Files/cdisplay.exe"
[18:12] <lighta> ok thx for info (having ndis.sys error :/)
[18:12] <nintnint> I have to do all that for the single exe?
[18:12] <robin_sz> Where can I get ubuntu for XP? I downloaded the new one but it seems to be for Vista only ...
[18:12] <sharperguy> nintnint, I think also, at least in 9.10, if the program appears in your Applicaions->wine menu you can start to type the name of the application and the icon should appear and you can just click it
[18:13] <n00p> (onetinsoldier) it doesn't appear to be in there. I do have a few things that aren't recognised, however. I'll try google :)
[18:13] <ardchoille> mikebeecham: There is information on that at the T-Mobile forums: http://forums.t-mobile.com/tmbl/
[18:13] <onetinsoldier> n00p: hmmm, roger. good luck

[18:21] <mod6> good afternoon - i have a Dell Inspiron 1545 running Ubuntu 9.10 -- it has the Broadcom 4312 wireless driver, currently im using the `wl` driver, but i would like to use the b43 driver, can anyone help me to switch this?  we can take this to /msg since traffic in here is high. thanks in advance.
[18:23] <rayve> I know there are Ctrl shortcut to stop and resume input while typing in a terminal, but I can't remember what they are - can anyone help?
[18:24] <n00p> (onetinsoldier) does "mobile PCI bridge" sound anything like a PCMCIA or expresscard port?
[18:24] <clrg> rayve: "set -o vi", takes you to VI mode. Just ESC two times to stop input, hit i, r or a to resume.
[18:24] <xubunoobie> Hello!  If my ipod will not mount after installing the restricted extras package and the ipod plugin for ehaile.  Is there something I am missing or have overlooked?
[18:25] <pantii> hej
[18:25] <clrg> xubunoobie: Is the driver loaded? Did you reboot since you installed the new module?
[18:25] <maverick> u
[18:25] <n00p> Hmm no that seems to be my digital audio output.. Cool :)
[18:26] <rayve> clrg, thank you, but I meant directly on the command line rather than in a text editor
[18:26] <Dravekx> how do I join a group?
[18:26] <xubunoobie> clrg:  I did not reboot yet.  Do I also need ffmpeg from synaptic?  It says that ugly and bad gstreamer are installed, but not ffmpeg
[18:26] <llutz> Dravekx: sudo adduser user group
[18:27] <clrg> rayve: set -o vi is to be applied in the command line. You're not going to enter vi, you're just going to use it to edit your commands.
[18:27] <xubunoobie> clrg:  which driver?   Maybe I should reboot first if you think that will help
[18:27] <Dravekx> ARGGHHH

[18:31] <shortcircuit> Can someone help me resolve (and fix) the reason I get a refused connection when trying to run a vm using virt-manager? The relevant syalog line is line 7 in this pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m514d2c4d
[18:31] <Urda> Question: Ubuntu One Seems to be Hanging, how do I restart it?
[18:31] <pvh_sa> onetinsoldier, that's what i'm using. this monitor is on my laptop (fujitsu lifebook p7230), graphics is intel 945GM with 256 MB RAM...
[18:32] <M1TE5H> what is computer janitor andit is not working in my laptop
[18:32] <Miracle> I want to install gstreamer* packages but I want to leave out 1 particular package. is there an apt-get option for this?
[18:32] <Leonard_> Guys, I've been using Ubuntu a while now, but I have a lovely new machine, which is 64bit, and wanted your opinions on whether it's worth going 64bit ubuntu instead of 32?
[18:32] <pvh_sa> onetinsoldier, ah, fixed it. it was the 'mirror screens' that caused problems
[18:32] <paulus68> clrg: is this line comming between line 18 and 19? or am I wrong?
[18:33] <ZykoticK9> Leonard_, if you have more then 4G memory YES
[18:33] <Leonard_> I have been trying it out - and it seems certain things don't work [as well] in 64 bit
[18:33] <djMax> how can I install mac80211 modules/drivers on Ubuntu JeOS?
[18:33] <Leonard_> I have exaclty 4GB memory
[18:33] <shortcircuit> Leonard_: Then yes, still.
[18:33] <ZykoticK9> Leonard_, almost everything works under 64bit
[18:33] <michaell_> Leonard_: I go with yes, its faster
[18:33] <ertr2> hi
[18:33] <onetinsoldier> pvh_sa: ahh! good deal. congrats :-)
[18:33] <Leonard_> things like Adobe Air (tweetdeck), flash
[18:34] <michaell_> Leonard_: noticeably
[18:34] <ertr2> guys
[18:34] <Leonard_> michaell_: oh really?
[18:34] <ertr2> i need help
[18:34] <shortcircuit> Leonard_: Some of your address space is actually taken up by device mapping. You're not going to get access to the full 4G of RAM until there's room for both your RAM and your devices in your address space.
[18:34] <Leonard_> That's important to me
[18:34] <TorMentor> hwilde: Got x to work as i want it =)

[18:34] <Alan-c> hi all
[18:34] <shortcircuit> Leonard_: Well, unless you play around with pae, but that's not necessary any more.
[18:34] <ertr2> i cant connect my 2nd display with backtrack 4
[18:34] <xubunoobie> I am having a little trouble getting my ipod to be recognized.  I get an error:  mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,        missing codepage or helper program, or other error        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try        dmesg | tail  or so    I installed the "restriced extras"  and the ipod plugin for exaile, then rebooted.  Is there something that I overlooked?
[18:34] <ertr2> pici undrestood
[18:35] <Leonard_> Can anyone, off the top of their heads, mention things what work less well in 64-bit versions?
[18:35] <shortcircuit> Leonard_: Anything that involves tons and tons of pointers?  On the whole, the impact is negligible.
[18:35] <ZykoticK9> ertr2, this is Ubuntu support not Backtrack -- they have a channel remote-exploit or something similar to that
[18:36] <Alan-c> how do i get intel graphic driver on my laptop my scree resolution is 1280x800 please can anyone help
[18:36] <llutz> ertr2: /j #backtrack-linux   or #remote-exploit
[18:36] <shortcircuit> Leonard_: About the only problem I've noticed is that Adobe Flash likes to hang more frequently.  But it's Adobe Flash, so what do you expect? :)
[18:36] <ertr2> but its ubuntu based
[18:36] <ertr2> llutz TNX
[18:36] <Leonard_> So in theory, codecs, flash support, air support, java support, etc, should all work the same?
[18:36] <ertr2> lol
[18:36] <onetinsoldier> what is 'backtrack'?
[18:36] <ertr2> its like modded ubuntu
[18:36] <onetinsoldier> oh.. i see
[18:36] <erUSUL> Leonard_: pretty much the same yes
[18:36] <shortcircuit> Leonard_: I've been running 64-bit exclusively at home since Nov 2008.  Haven't seen any real issues with it for over a year.
[18:36] <ertr2> with aircrack and other that kind a stuff inside
[18:37] <ertr2> omg am banned from backtrack channel...
[18:37] <Leonard_> I know - flash is a pita - and of course silverlight is pretty slow on here but I mean I will probably run Win7 in virtualbox for photoshop/fireworks/sky player/etc that just run more smooth in that
[18:37] <onetinsoldier> ertr2: ok, thanks. never heard of airtrack either of course... lol. i might look it up on google. thanks
[18:37] <shortcircuit> Ok, mild clarification: I've been running a 64-bit Linux OS, but some apps may still be 32-bit.
[18:38] <Leonard_> Well, I really appreciate your answers guys. Take care, and I think I'll stick around in here:)
[18:38] <JustMozzy> Hi guys. I just bought today a Nokia N86 and I am trying to get amarok to see it but until now I failed. can someone help me with that?
[18:38] <shortcircuit> Leonard_: I'm actually running Win7 inside libkvm right now.  Don't have Aero, but I don't know whether or not I'm going to need to fix that.
[18:39] <michaell_> Leonard_: ive got three machines -  32 bit and 1 64bit- they all work pretty much the same - did nitice when i went from 32bit to 64 the video encode time went wsy down
[18:39] <onetinsoldier> my sound suddenly stopped working the other day in karmic. i have 2 sound cards listed in 'sound preferences' a ATI HDMI that's onboard my ati video card, and an X-Fi Titanium sound card in a pci-x slot. my sound was working fine with the X-Fi card selected until yesterday. my sound does work fine in 2 other OS's, WinXP Pro and Ubuntu Lucid Alpha2. anyone think they might be able to help me get it working in Karmic again?

[18:48] <epinky> paulus68: maybe you should add a conditional at the beginning to echeck if execution ofl your code is needed, I mean before executing your current code, check if auth.log has changed, maybe using 'stat' command

[18:56] <Besogon> epinky, I don't satisfy by octave 3.0 (because of some functions from 3.0.1 work bette and more usefull (like vander()) at the other hand octave 3.0 is bulded better) So I decide to compile from source.

[18:56] <Blue112> How can I hear what's in on my Line In input to the output ?
[18:57] <nevermoreskies> I'll give it another look, thanks
[18:58] <epinky> Blue112: is it unmuted?
[18:58] <Blue112> epinky, I'm kinda lost in the pulseaudio settings, but the "INput" tab is unmuted, yes.
[18:58] <marc__> hi all. I'm installing Ubuntu 9.10 server on a old computer I have. when it comes to the partition screen the default is on LVM. that computer will be used as a file+torrent server and as a backend for tv recording and I will add/upgrade hard drives over time. Should I use LVM or go with normal partitionning?
[18:58] <Blue112> I have a lot of profile for my soundcard, I don't know which to choose >_<
[18:59] <Besogon> erUSUL, octave 3.2 is builde worse the octave3.0 (for example funcions "who" and"whos" at least don't work like in old octave)So You have advised texlive, haven't you?
[18:59] <epinky> Blue112: can you install gnome-alsamixer to check?
[18:59] <Blue112> Sure.

[19:02] <gatty> chazco: you can change that with preferences, or with a different skin
[19:02] <chazco> gatty - Hmm, okay, i'll look into it

[19:07] <Schui> hello, im having a problem trying to detect my camera, it seems i need a driver but i can only find an exe for windows, was wondering what other ppl do about this?
[19:08] <skarufue> what camera?
[19:08] <Schui> its a hitachi dz-mv230a
[19:08] <Schui> camcorder
[19:09] <onetinsoldier> my sound suddenly stopped working the other day in Karmic. i have 2 sound cards listed in 'sound preferences' an ATI HDMI that's onboard my ati video card, and an X-Fi Titanium sound card in a pci-x slot. my sound was working fine with the X-Fi card selected until yesterday. my X-Fi sound does work fine in 2 other OS's, WinXP Pro and Ubuntu Lucid Alpha2. anyone think they might be able to help me get it working in Karmic again?
[19:09] <Schui> surely other people use cameras and can detect them on linux??
[19:09] <llutz> !repeat | onetinsoldier
[19:10] <onetinsoldier> hey.. i'm waiting like at least 5 minutes(more i think) between asking
[19:11] <onetinsoldier> i'm pretty sure i'm waiting at least ten minutes to repeat.. that's a while. lot's of peeps come and goo in that amount of time
[19:12] <skarufue> well
[19:12] <skarufue> i cant find anything about your camera
[19:12] <skarufue> + linux
[19:12] <Schui> i know lol :S
[19:13] <Schui> do you think there is a linux software that would work?
[19:13] <Chimpout> I am having a slight problem with Ubuntu
[19:13] <acicula> Chimpout: describe your problem, what you tried, what happened, what you thought should've happened
[19:13] <Chimpout> I have everything working, except my AOL browser
[19:13] <Chimpout> it won't even workin WINE
[19:13] <soreau> -_-
[19:14] <soreau> Chimpout: Why on earth would you want to use an AOL browser?
[19:14] <acicula> not all programs work in Wine, i guess the AOL browser, what ever it is, is a windows program
[19:14] <Chris___> what are the hot keys on a (ubuntu) macbook to adjust screen brightness/contrast?
[19:14] <Chimpout> it is that I have aol internet
[19:14] <Chimpout> paying for it for exclusive aol stuff
[19:14] <acicula> Chris___: the same as you normally use?
[19:14] <Chimpout> and i need the browser for its email security
[19:14] <Chimpout> and security edition stuff
[19:14] <acicula> Chimpout: did you look on the winehq site if its supported via wine?
[19:14] <Chris___> acicula: buddy of mine texted me from class asking me that. on my regular not mac laptop, it's FN + F7/F8.. Apparently that doesn't work for him
[19:15] <Chimpout> it says it is
[19:15] <Chimpout> but it won't work
[19:15] <shadenzo> !list
[19:15] <kulych> Hi
[19:15] <acicula> Chimpout: its possible its simply not working, doubt the function keys for that would change, but maybe there is some specific info to find on ubuntu on mac hardware?
[19:15] <kulych> Can you talk me about any good FTP client? Thanks :)
[19:16] <llutz> kulych: lftp
[19:16] <Schui> so i was wondering, does any one else use cameras / able to detect and use them on ubuntu?
[19:16] <acicula> kulych: ftp :)?
[19:16] <acicula> Schui: yeah, fire up gstreamer-properties (from a console), switch to video and hit test?
[19:16] <kulych> yes :)
[19:16] <acicula> Schui: its called video4linux or v4l if you want to get it setup
[19:17] <ardchoille> Schui: I use a Canon and Ubuntu detects it immediately
[19:17] <Schui> did you have to install anything or did it detect it automatically?
[19:17] <ardchoille> it was automatic
[19:17] <acicula> normal cameras are just detected as storage devices i think?
[19:17] <adac> Does anyone know if nautilus-dropbox is open source? If yes, where can I download it?
[19:18] <onetinsoldier> cameras need a driver i think
[19:18] <ardchoille> acicula: I think you're right,mince was
[19:18] <skarufue> @Shui i think there is no linux support for you camera... but on the other hand i think DV is standertised so you could try any video editing software really
[19:18] <ardchoille> *mine
[19:18] <ortsvorsteher> !cam | onetinsoldier
[19:18] <acicula> well if its an integrated camera on your laptop it does, if it just is a handheld camera it behaves like an external hardrive/cd/usbstick/memory stick etc
[19:18] <dybbuk> can i burn a 64 bit iso image onto a usb stick using my 32 bit computer ?
[19:18] <onetinsoldier> thanks ortsvorsteher. i'll check that out
[19:18] <ortsvorsteher> have fun
[19:19] <acicula> dybbuk: yeah, easier to use unetbooting (program)
[19:19] <onetinsoldier> ortsvorsteher: ok, thanks. but i see that's for webcams
[19:19] <ortsvorsteher> sure dybbuk
[19:19] <ortsvorsteher> onetinsoldier, and you have a normal cam?
[19:19] <onetinsoldier> ortsvorsteher: i have a 'camera'.. hehe. Canon Powershot SD850 IS
[19:19] <acicula> !usb > dybbuk
[19:19] <Schui> well i plug it in and nothing happens, searched and find out ppl on windows use a driver... so i should try to use other software? such as v4l
[19:19] <ortsvorsteher> so may you search the web? onetinsoldier
[19:19] <acicula> Schui: is it a webcam or a a handheld camera(ie something with its own storage)
[19:20] <skarufue> what is the root device called in a wubi installation? eg what i have to pass after: linux /boot/vmlinux-2.x-generic root=. or if you dont know that but are on a wubi install could you be so kind to post the output of cat /boot/grub.cfg or put it into http://pastebin.com/ and send me the link?
[19:20] <onetinsoldier> ortsvorsteher: yeah. thanks
[19:20] <ortsvorsteher> :)
[19:20] <Chris___> what are the hot keys on a (ubuntu) macbook to adjust screen brightness/contrast?
[19:20] <Schui> its a hand held camera
[19:20] <onetinsoldier> ortsvorsteher: what i really need help with is a sound problem i'm having
[19:20] <ardchoille> !hcl
[19:20] <Aia> I want to know how's done. If any can point to some more knowledge. When I go to places and click in a hard drive, gnome mounts it into /media/ and it makes a directory with the name of the hard drive. If I umount the directory is removed as well. But when I do it manually in the command line, I need to create the directory. How's done automatically?
[19:20] <acicula> Schui: post the output from dmesg?
[19:20] <ortsvorsteher> which is? onetinsoldier
[19:20] <onetinsoldier> my sound suddenly stopped working the other day in Karmic. i have 2 sound cards listed in 'sound preferences' an ATI HDMI that's onboard my ati video card, and an X-Fi Titanium sound card in a pci-x slot. my sound was working fine with the X-Fi card selected until yesterday. my X-Fi sound does work fine in 2 other OS's, WinXP Pro and Ubuntu Lucid Alpha2. anyone think they might be able to help me get it working in Karmic again?
[19:21] <Schui> i'm sorry.. what lol
[19:21] <acicula> dmesg in a console gives out some messages
[19:21] <ardchoille> Schui: See if your camera is listed here, there may be a work around: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaDigitalCameras
[19:21] <Zesturian> Hmm, fresh install of Kubuntu 9.10, kernel has identified two CPU's I only have one. I thought it might be hyper threading so I turned this on, no difference, it thinks I have 2 CPU's! I know I don't, it's a Intel Pentium 4 - Single core...
[19:21] <acicula> can you unplug/plug the camera and paste the output on pastebin somewhere
[19:21] <ortsvorsteher> onetinsoldier, did you tried system -> settings -> sound?
[19:21] <Zesturian> *turned hyper threading off
[19:21] <onetinsoldier> ortsvorsteher: yes
[19:22] <Zesturian> Anyone any idea's?
[19:22] <Schui> yeah, not sure what you want me to copy
[19:22] <ortsvorsteher> and sound is on there? onetinsoldier
[19:22] <onetinsoldier> ortsvorsteher: yep
[19:22] <acicula> Zesturian: either its dualcore, or detecting hyperthreading
[19:22] <ortsvorsteher> alsa is also selected? onetinsoldier
[19:22] <onetinsoldier> ortsvorsteher: yes
[19:22] <Schui> and i looked from that website but my model is hitachi, its a dz-mv230a if you were wondering
[19:22] <acicula> Zesturian: how are you figuring it is detecting two cores?

[19:23] <dybbuk> did GOS die off completely?
[19:23] <acicula> Zesturian: bios probably
[19:23] <Zesturian> dual-bios would cause it acicula?

[19:25] <Zesturian> I ran xchat through gdb, when it segfaulted, it was to do with a gtk lib and a memory issue, I have tested my ram with no issues detected.
[19:25] <_Darkstar_> hi i'm using ubuntu with an ancient laptop, wondering if theirs a less resource consuming theme for ubuntu
[19:25] <ANTRat> !latest | Yuri_Har1ison
[19:25] <Zesturian> acicula, a week or so ago, I'll try again
[19:25] <acicula> Yuri_Har1ison: you can try to install an older package manually
[19:25] <onetinsoldier> ortsvorsteher: ok.. thank you for trying to help me out. let me check out what ubottu says and try it :)
[19:25] <ANTRat> wait nevermind
[19:25] <Zesturian> Thanks, if there's no resolve with that, what else might be worth checking?
[19:25] <ANTRat> i read that backwards
[19:25] <ortsvorsteher> :)
[19:25] <acicula> Yuri_Har1ison: it wont have the security updates applied though and/or may not be managed anymore
[19:25] <streblo> i'm looking for a book/website/tutorial that i can read so that i can suck less at linux, can anyone suggest one?
[19:25] <acicula> Yuri_Har1ison: considered moving over your application from 8.1 to 8.4?
[19:26] <Zesturian> The computer keeps seizing up, getting very irritating.
[19:26] <Chris___> can anyone on a macbook tell me what are the hot keys on a (ubuntu) macbook to adjust screen brightness/contrast?
[19:26] <_Darkstar_> hi i'm using ubuntu with an ancient laptop, wondering if theirs a less resource consuming theme for ubuntu
[19:26] <skarufue> they seriously need to split this channel into subcategories
[19:26] <streblo> skarufue: yeah, they should. i'm guilty of asking general linux questions in here because the people here are nicer than in #linux
[19:26] <acicula> skarufue: its ment for basic support i suppose, but people ussually come here for everything but the kitchin sink
[19:27] <m0UsE> if anyone has gotten gtkpod working for an ipod 5g nano can you pm me?
[19:27] <zippy> _Darkstar_ try lxde or xfce4 desktop
[19:27] <skarufue> @ Darkstar dont repeat so much try to read too. as i said ubuntu might not be the right distribution choice for a ancient laptop
[19:27] <onetinsoldier> ortsvorsteher: i can't seem to get to where i see that 'alsa' is selected for certain
[19:27] <Zesturian> _Darkstar_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems
[19:27] <xubunoobie> Hello.  I am having trouble getting my 2nd generation ipod nano to mount when I plug it in. Any ideal
[19:27] <acicula> Zesturian: well install lm-sensors too and have a look at the temperatures then
[19:27] <skarufue> @Darkstar if you stay with ubuntu maybe try another window manager eg enlightenment
[19:27] <ortsvorsteher> onetinsoldier, let me have a look, may i find it here. you have ubuntu 9.10?
[19:28] <_Darkstar_> hi i'm using ubuntu with an ancient laptop, wondering if theirs a less resource consuming theme for ubuntu
[19:28] <Yuri_Har1ison> ubottu: Any way I want install version 8.1 I can not do that?
[19:28] <onetinsoldier> ortsvorsteher: yes. i'm currently in 9.10. i also have 10.04 installed... and it works in there
[19:28] <ardchoille> DarkEyes: Try Fluxbox, Window Maker or another window manager.. much less resources needed
[19:28] <Zesturian> Thanks acicula, I'll give all this a spin.
[19:28] <arand> !repeat | _Darkstar_
[19:28] <_Darkstar_> lol
[19:28] <adac> When I create a new user, Is it possible to create it's home directory on an external disk?
[19:28] <Schui> ardchoille: i was just wondering, was your camera a canon or do you just use canon drivers?
[19:29] <m0UsE> if anyone has gotten gtkpod working for an ipod 5g nano can you pm me?
[19:29] <ardchoille> Schui: Canon powershot
[19:29] <acicula> adac: yeah its definitly possible, not sure if ubuntu will let you automate it it an easy way though
[19:29] <adac> acicula, I should try that out maybe ;)
[19:29] <m0UsE> if anyone has gotten gtkpod working for an ipod 5g nano can you pm me?
[19:30] <jellow> adac: you could link them with ln
[19:30] <Tamara> join/ #linux.conf.au
[19:30] <acicula> !repeat | m0UsE
[19:30] <adac> jellow, yeah that is a good idea!
[19:30] <onetinsoldier> ortsvorsteher: i got it.. it's working
[19:30] <acicula> still means the disk needs to be mounted prior to the user logging in
[19:30] <jellow> acicula: fstab?
[19:31] <ortsvorsteher> how did you fix it? i am to slow to find it :D onetinsoldier
[19:31] <pozican> I have a box at home with no monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Gnome, xorg, and associated are taking up almost a gig of ram. Can I safely remove these from an ssh session? Is killing X and stopping gdm enough to stop the Xorg sessions currently running?
[19:31] <acicula> fstab may work yeah
[19:31] <acicula> pozican: stopping gdm will shutdown the X subsystem
[19:31] <pozican> acicula: chmod -x gdm will stop it from doing so on reboot?
[19:32] <onetinsoldier> ortsvorsteher: i have a program under Applications --> Sound and Video --> Alsamixergui
[19:32] <acicula> pozican: err better to disable the service from starting
[19:32] <acicula> that just breaks prorams
[19:32] <onetinsoldier> ortsvorsteher: the dang volume was turned all the way down
[19:32] <ortsvorsteher> onetinsoldier, yes, thats the one ...
[19:32] <ortsvorsteher> :D
[19:32] <pozican> acicula: uh, I thought /etc/init.d was the service handler?
[19:33] <acicula> pozican: you need to remove the script itself from the startup sequence
[19:33] <nevermoreskies> "WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong  into /etc/modprobe.d/."  What's this, anyone have an idea?
[19:33] <acicula> pozican: just making it non-executable will cause the boot sequence to fail and possibly go into fall-back mode to fix the failure
[19:33] <pozican> acicula: I presume ubuntu has some non-standard sub-par way of a startup sequence that doesn't involve init.d then?
[19:33] <acicula> pozican: it uses the normal standard startup stuff
[19:33] <ortsvorsteher> i dont have it installed, so i will do it now...
[19:34] <acicula> pozican: though it recently switchted to startup
[19:34] <DexterF> hi
[19:34] <DexterF> anyone know a ppa fpr xine-vdpau?
[19:34] <onetinsoldier> ortsvorsteher: how it got that way i don't know. i didn't do anything that i know of. it was turned all the way down and had a lock icon at the bottom. however, the volume control on the application bar didn't show it as 'muted' or anything and it looked like the volume was up there. strange. anyway, working now. thanks for help :-)
[19:34] <ortsvorsteher> thanks for the idea ;) onetinsoldier
[19:34] <pozican> acicula: ok, how do I disable it from startup?
[19:34] <ardchoille> DexterF: you can search for a PPA here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[19:34] <skarufue>  what is the root device called in a wubi installation? eg what i have to pass after: linux /boot/vmlinux-2.x-generic root=. or if you dont know that but are on a wubi install could you be so kind to post the output of cat /boot/grub.cfg or put it into http://pastebin.com/ and send me the link?
[19:35] <skarufue> @poizacan just unistall gdm
[19:35] <acicula> pozican: update-rc.d
[19:35] <pozican> LOL
[19:35] <arand> skarufue: it's loop= something I think.. hang on
[19:35] <acicula> or just install gdm yeah
[19:35] <acicula> *uninstall
[19:36] <pozican> acicula: lol, is that a port from the gentoo tool? Why would they name the startup sequence tool rc.d if up until now they have used init.d?
[19:36] <pozican> acicula: haha, thanks for the help mate
[19:36] <arand> skarufue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/477104 first comment seem to have the instructions
[19:36] <squelos> hi
[19:37] <melm> I get this error when i start inkscape /home/parasite/Desktop/Screenshot.png
[19:37] <acicula> pozican: dunno if its a port, init.d holds scripts, rc?.d holds symlinks, it was like that in the previous centuary too :/
[19:37] <squelos> can you hear me ?
[19:37] <pozican> acicula: haha
[19:37] <onetinsoldier> ortsvorsteher: just found something even better than alsamixergui, i think anyway.... gnome-alsamixer
[19:37] <paissad_> i would like to know if like /tmp, /var/tmp is emptied during reboot
[19:37] <acicula> paissad_: dont think soi
[19:37] <G_A_C> pozican: rc.d holds scripts for each runlevel; init.d holds the actual instructions but rc?.d tells ubuntu which ones to run
[19:37] <skarufue> @arand thank you must have had google block not finding tha one
[19:37] <acicula> its not meant to be
[19:37] <ortsvorsteher> yes, its the nicer one... onetinsoldier
[19:38] <Samp> so I spanned these two hard drives together with lvm, and I think I've messed up. I can't mount the volume without root permissions and once I do I can't write to the volume without write permissions. Is it ok to delete the filesystem I created that spans the two drives?
[19:38] <acicula> Samp: well do you care about the data?
[19:38] <ikonia> Samp: you can't mount without root - that's fine, and you can't write without write permission, that's fine too
[19:38] <Samp> theres none on there yet.
[19:38] <arand> skarufue: Well, I had it in my browse history, that one seems to have hit quite a few people a while ago...
[19:38] <Samp> i meant write without root permissions.
[19:39] <ikonia> Samp: change the ownership
[19:39] <Samp> I try to make a new folder, and get an error message, only root can do that.
[19:39] <Samp> k, will try.
[19:40] <Samp> ooh
[19:41] <Samp> I changed ownership of the folder I'm mounting to, and now I can create folders
[19:41] <revel> rsync -avl --exclude '/public_html/app/sessions/*' /public_html/app ~/backup  but it is still iterating over each of the sessions, not sure if it will skip them in the end or not, thoughts?
[19:41] <Samp> now I'll reboot and see if it auto-mounts on boot. If I don't make it back in here, thanks for the help, guys.
[19:43] <clocker> sblive on 9.1 and I've got no sound.  Sound config tool only sees internal, but that's dead too.  All updates are complete.  I'm out of ideas

[19:47] <Samp> what do the two numbers at the end of each fstab entry mean?
[19:47] <ikonia> Samp: don't worry about that, - can you please pastebin your /etc/fstab please
[19:47] <Samp> well here's the line that should mount the volume
[19:47] <Samp> /dev/hddgroup/basement	/mnt/basement			ex3	defaults	0	2
[19:48] <onetinsoldier> ex3?
[19:48] <ikonia> Samp: ex3 should be ext3
[19:48] <onetinsoldier> should be ext3?
[19:48] <Samp> ha

[19:58] <daftykins> jb__: is the card new, or has it worked previously?
[19:59] <Tez> I've found solutions for the issue i was asking about, but i still need help
[19:59] <jb__> daftykins, the card is new i bought for like 3 weeks ago
[19:59] <Tez> they all say to boot from the live cd and log in as root
[19:59] <jb__> and it works in windows 8
[19:59] <Tez> i can't boot from the live cd
[19:59] <jb__> and it works in windows 87
[20:00] <Samp> hey thanks to everyone that helped with my logical volume thing, it works fine now.
[20:00] <daftykins> jb__: ok so you can probably rule out power and being seated correctly.
[20:00] <filthpig> Hi guys. I have a Radeon 9200 Mobility card in my laptop, using Karmic. When I enable desktop effects the deskop background goes black, and if I maximize windows they also turn black. Some guy has reported a similar problem (with similar gfx-card) here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1302069
[20:01] <filthpig> any ideas how to fix?
[20:01] <xxx_> hello
[20:01] <onetinsoldier> Samp: congrats and enjoy :)

[20:01] <acicula> filthpig: tried the open source or the binary driver?
[20:01] <daftykins> jb__: how many displays do you have connected?
[20:02] <filthpig> acicula: only the open driver work with this card
[20:02] <onetinsoldier> Samp: i think it was ikonia that mostly helped you with that ;)

[20:02] <xxx_> ktoś mówi po poslku

[20:02] <Gadget3000> Homely_Girl: YOu need to change to the directory of the installer first so: 'cd ~/Downloads' for example
[20:02] <jb__> daftykins, well i got a problem whit it in windows 7 to i have to run a xpert tool setting it to power saving mode for it to work but they said it was a bug in the new windows 7 drivers. only use one.

[20:03] <dnsbob> if I have the following IP subnet 192.168.1.0/22 would that be class B or class C? in other words; does the first octet dictate the class of the network or is there s minimum number of required netmask bits?
[20:03] <ikonia> dnsbob: try ##networking for that sort of question
[20:03] <loltoad> hello, can anyone help me with soem nvidia/X stuff?
[20:03] <daftykins> dnsbob: that should be run as a /24

[20:04] <paulus68> Hi I have this script http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4e0d3929 which is sending me each hour a mail, however I don't want it to sent mails to me when there is nothing in the file how do I do this?
[20:04] <NorthByNorthWest> Hi! Experimenting with a headless server and have created a new user that is made admin... but the prompt shows only "$" not the usual user/machine/path
[20:04] <ikonia> NorthByNorthWest: set PS1 environment variable up
[20:04] <NorthByNorthWest> export PS1="\u@\h\w$ "  makes the prompt show EXAKTLY export \u@\h\w$
[20:04] <daftykins> jb__: sounds a bit iffy. i found some results on google for issues, some suggest only connecting one display etc. i'd maybe RMA the card to the company/website you bought it from and get a different one
[20:05] <clrg> NorthByNorthWest: You can set the promt with the $PS1 variable
[20:05] <idea4good> i am tryi o get gnomemaker for .exe t .iso burnning
[20:05] <filthpig> are there any AMD/ATi or graphics-oriented support channel for ubuntu?
[20:05] <idea4good> bu it says error 404 not found
[20:05] <idea4good> repo is missing
[20:05] <idea4good> i guess
[20:05] <jb__> daftykins,  do you think "noapic nolapic" can work when i boot up the kernel ?
[20:05] <clrg> NorthByNorthWest: What shell are you using? (echo $0)
[20:05] <Homely_Girl> Gadget3000: Got ya!! :)
[20:05] <ryan\n> Is skype not in the package manager?
[20:05] <jb__> daftykins, you think it is the card then .. that sucks :P
[20:05] <NorthByNorthWest> clrg: -sh    it says
[20:05] <ikonia> !skype | ryan\n
[20:06] <ikonia> ryan\n: no, it's closed source
[20:06] <ikonia> !skyp | ryan\n
[20:06] <clrg> NorthByNorthWest: Type "bash" and try again
[20:06]  * mkquist is away: Gone away for now
[20:06] <daftykins> jb__: possibly, unless your power supply isn't good enough. i'd get a friend to try it or something in another computer if you can
[20:06] <onetinsoldier> paulus68: you might want to try asking in a bash channel. it's probably #bash or ##bash
[20:06] <NorthByNorthWest> clrg: oh! that did it! how do I make it do this when logging in?
[20:06] <acicula> ryan\n: nope
[20:06] <daftykins> filthpig: just looked at your link, what driver do you have enabled?
[20:07] <shadow120> ryan\n: the only way i could get skyp to work was to download it form there site
[20:07] <acicula> err guess that was already answere
[20:07] <ANTRat> NorthByNorthWest: usermod -s /bin/bash <username>
[20:07] <clrg> NorthByNorthWest: You have to set your shell to /usr/bin/bash. Try a grep yourusername /etc/passwd and check what shell you have, most likely /bin/sh. Open /etc/passwd with sudo vi /etc/passwd or gksudo gedit /etc/passwd and replace the path.
[20:08] <jb__> daftykins, well ok ,, know i got 400W in my power supply so it would be enough but well iam gonna try it at a friends place
[20:08] <filthpig> daftykins: I guess its the xorg-ati driver
[20:08] <ryan\n> Thanks!
[20:08] <clrg> ANTRat, NorthByNorthWest: /bin/bash, right
[20:08] <askjohny> Hmm.. I think I'm in the right spot.  I just was wondering if WUBI could install a fully functional copy of Ubuntu onto an alternate partition. As in desktop effects, gaming, etc. and run at full speed.  Not just a giant .disk file on the windows partition.
[20:08] <daftykins> filthpig: please pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log to confirm
[20:08] <acicula> jb__: check in ##hardware, more then rated wattage the peak amperage on the +12V line(s) matters and the amount of hardwaer
[20:09] <daftykins> askjohny: it's best avoiding wubi and just installing normally if you want that.
[20:09] <Spasysheep> are there any good msn clients for ubuntu that have decent webcam support
[20:09] <skarufue> @jb__ i had a similar problem on a X1600 solution was to not install the ati drivers from ubuntu but directli from ati page
[20:09] <dooglus> Spasysheep: the best I found is amsn
[20:09] <dooglus> !info amsn

[20:12] <filthpig> nx7010 that is
[20:13] <daftykins> filthpig: heh, it's talking a lot about mac stuff in that log
[20:13] <filthpig> !hi | Renatus
[20:13] <loltoad> when i switch to nvidia drivers, it sets the resolution too high such that i cannot use the nvidia gui tool to bring it back down, can anyone help me with this?
[20:13] <Homely_Girl> Gadget3000: I could kiss you!! It's up 'n running thanks! :)
[20:13] <skarufue> @jb__ http://wiki.compiz.org/Troubleshooting#ATI_Cards
[20:13] <filthpig> daftykins: yeah, mouse emulation. It always does that
[20:13] <Gadget3000> Homely_Girl: np :D
[20:13] <skarufue> @jb__ seems like your card is too old
[20:14] <daftykins> filthpig: can you paste here the gfx device's lspci line?
[20:14] <jb__> skarufue, hmm i got a geforce 9500gt
[20:14] <Spasysheep> dooglus: amsn wants me to install farsight2
[20:14] <Renatus> I have a problem with permissions, I recently installed ubuntu on my last gen dell studio, i try to download drivers from dells website but it tell me cannot write to xxx, 'permission denied'
[20:14] <razertek> filthpig: do you have the latest drivers
[20:14] <skarufue> @jb__ sorry thought i read radeon 6xxx somwhere a few lines up
[20:15] <razertek> filthpig: sry late
[20:15] <daftykins> razertek: that's what i'm getting to. please don't tread on toes :P
[20:15] <jb__> skarufue, hehe no problem
[20:15] <clrg> Renatus: Try the command again, with a leading sudo
[20:15] <filthpig> daftykins: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] (rev 01)
[20:15] <razertek> daftykins: i was actually scrolled up when i read and typed that =)
[20:15] <jb__> skarufue, but thx i will take a look under the nvidia card section
[20:15] <Renatus> alright, thanks clrg
[20:15] <neohashi> hello .. do anyone know how to show keypresses on screen (for video tutorial desktrop recording)?
[20:16] <daftykins> anyone know what version of X.org is in Karmic?
[20:16] <filthpig> daftykins: Desktop Effects has always worked for me on this laptop (since Beryl days :), this is the first time I've had problems concerning anything else than sluggishness
[20:17] <widmo> hello
[20:17] <daftykins> filthpig: yeah it looks like Karmic uses a X.org version too new for ATI to have made decent display drivers for your hardware
[20:17] <clrg> daftykins: Run "xorg -version" to find out
[20:17] <hwilde> ati hasn't made a good driver since 2004
[20:17] <hwilde> nvidia 4 life
[20:17] <daftykins> filthpig: you'll another have to play with drivers such as fglrx or the ATI ones or go back to Jaunty or before
[20:17] <skarufue> @jb__ also have a look at black windows a bit further down
[20:18] <daftykins> filthpig: can you run what clrg just said plz
[20:18] <daftykins> clrg: thanks
[20:18] <filthpig> clrg: "no such command" it says
[20:18] <papkie> /wc
[20:18] <razertek> you should be using the ati release of drivers from 12/17/09
[20:19] <razertek> filthpig: as karmics drivers are older than this
[20:19] <filthpig> razertek: are there debs of that available? and are they compatible with Karmic?
[20:20] <clrg> filthpig: Interesting. Man xorg shows the manpage for x.org, but there's no such command. I'm sorry, I don't know how to find out then
[20:20] <razertek> filthpig: what pc brand/
[20:20] <adac> Does anyone know if nautilus-dropbox is open source? If yes, any idea where to get the source from?
[20:20] <razertek> ?
[20:20]  * mkquist is back.
[20:20] <filthpig> razertek: I wrote that earlier. HP Compaq NX7010
[20:21] <jugglerbry> hi all

[20:22] <loltoad> how do i change my resolution via xorg.conf?
[20:23] <acicula> !resolution
[20:23] <clrg> loltoad: Try "man xorg.conf"
[20:25] <razertek> filthpig: sry man i would say the drivers are definately discontinued for linux
[20:25] <filthpig> clrg: http://pastebin.com/me6bf9ae for Xorg info
[20:25] <Ari_Lazarus> Hi guys. I seem to have a problem wherein when I try to use my automounted partitions, it does not execute programs on it. I don't have this problem with my ext hdd when I plug it in. Any ideas as to what might be causing this? The Storage Device Manager shows the parameters as being 'user' for all my drives.
[20:26] <perdigon> JOSE
[20:26] <mAriachi> hi!
[20:26] <razertek> Ari_Lazarus: does user have execute permissions on the partition
[20:26] <clrg> Ari_Lazarus: What operating system were your programs written for?
[20:26] <mAriachi> i have an issue, would smb help me pls? :D
[20:26] <clrg> !ask | mAriachi
[20:27] <filthpig> razertek: hmmm. I know AMD/ATi have discontinued the support but I thought the open source driver would continue to support it
[20:27] <mAriachi> thanks! you are too kind
[20:27] <filthpig> mayyybe I should give Lucid a spin
[20:27] <filthpig> to see how it works there
[20:28] <Ari_Lazarus> clrg and razertek: They are linux programs, according to the sda5 (the partition's) properties page, I can create/delete... but I don't see execute. How can I incorporate this automatically?
[20:28] <alamati> hi all, I can't play mpg, mkv wmv and ... in ubuntu 9.10, but i can play them in ubuntu 9.04 machine, what's the problem?
[20:28] <filthpig> I didn't have any problems with desktop effects in kubuntu 9.10 though.. other than sluggishness
[20:28] <mAriachi> i have recently installed xubuntu karmic, i love it, i am dual booting with win 7, had ubuntu before, but due to my friend's carefulness(he disconected the power cord of my laptop during an update)
[20:28] <Krzysiek> Use VLC
[20:28] <mAriachi> i decided to try xubuntu, i love it
[20:28] <mAriachi> have one small issue
[20:28] <clrg> Ari_Lazarus: By setting an umask when mounting it. You need to add execute-rights, which would usually be like 750.
[20:28] <alamati> I used it, but it can't play them too!
[20:29] <clrg> Ari_Lazarus: Or simply "chmod +x programfile"
[20:29] <mAriachi> when i play audio or a movie, the internal speakers, and the connected headphones are singing at the same time!
[20:29] <mAriachi> this is nice sometimes (quadrophony)
[20:29] <mAriachi> but smt i need some privacy :D
[20:29] <filthpig> alamati: installed restricted-extras?
[20:29] <capt_blackwood> i hear that...
[20:29] <Ari_Lazarus> clrg: I'd like all files to be executable, I'll try that umask thing.
[20:29] <Krzysiek> install ubuntu restricted formats from software center
[20:30] <razertek> Ari_Lazarus: sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[20:30] <sshc> !ask
[20:30] <iceroot> !gksudo | razertek Ari_Lazarus
[20:30] <razertek> under the options column
[20:30] <Renatus> has anyone ever played some windows games through steam using wine successfully?
[20:30] <jellow> mAriachi: look at alsamixer in terminal  use m to mute
[20:30] <iceroot> Renatus: yes, look at appdb
[20:30] <Ari_Lazarus> hold up, lemme get this up
[20:30] <iceroot> !appdb | Renatus
[20:31]  * mkquist is away: Gone away for now
[20:31] <recon69_lap> hi, got a small issue. when playing games I sometimes get locked in a game in fullscreen mode when shutting the game down and end up ctrl-alt-f4 ing to get a command line to reboot. is there a key that would switch between screen modes so i cant easly shutdown the game with rebooting?
[20:31] <razertek> Ari_Lazarus: k
[20:31] <filthpig> Renatus: yes, both HL2, CS:S and some dirt racing game
[20:31] <alamati> I'm going to install them
[20:31] <recon69_lap> with/without*
[20:31] <capt_blackwood> Renatus, I've got some Half Life Games running...
[20:31] <mAriachi> tried that, i fixed it before, but i dont remember how i did it, i think i made sth to act as default and it fixed the issue, but that was when i was using ubuntu karmic
[20:31] <alamati> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[20:31] <brontosaurusrex> running gnome-do in docky mode, but the 'home folder' icon doesnt react
[20:31] <Gadget3000> Renatus: Half life is the only game that plays normally really. other take either ages to configure or just don't work. I would reccommend the latest development wine for games
[20:31] <brontosaurusrex> any clues?
[20:31] <Ari_Lazarus> alright razertek what am I looking for
[20:31] <Ari_Lazarus> :D
[20:32] <razertek> Ari_Lazarus: look for your device listing sda5 right? then in the options column next to it reading users ...make it read users,exec
[20:32] <mAriachi> the alsamixer thingie, did not help then, nor now, i muted and unmuted tried various combinations to no success :D
[20:32] <capt_blackwood> Wine Version 1.1.36
[20:32] <clrg> Ari_Lazarus: Mount your drive with the -o umask=value option. (eg 0027)
[20:32] <idea4good> i try to get gnomemaker using aptget repo not found
[20:32] <idea4good> same throu Synaptic manager
[20:32] <Ari_Lazarus> Do I put the umask thing in fstab?
[20:33] <onetinsoldier> recon69_lap: hello. you might try something like... ctrl+alt+f2
[20:33] <idea4good> Ubuntu 7.10
[20:33]  * mkquist is back.
[20:33] <Ari_Lazarus> Or did you mean that for the terminal
[20:33] <onetinsoldier> recon69_lap: then to get back to X... ctrl+alt+f7
[20:33] <mAriachi> anybody hlp?
[20:33] <mkanyicy> Ari_Lazarus, what do you want to do?
[20:33] <jellow> mAriachi: No idea then sorry good luck keep searching. Don't forget to add nick when talking.
[20:33] <recon69_lap> onetinsoldier: thx, I'll try that :)
[20:33] <razertek> ari_in the fstab file
[20:33] <Ari_Lazarus> ok
[20:33] <Gadget3000> !away | mkquist
[20:33] <onetinsoldier> recon69_lap: yw, cheers
[20:33] <clrg> Ari_Lazarus: That's one possibility. The other is to mount your drive per hand, like "mount /dev/yourdrive1 /mnt/your/mount/point -o umask=0027"
[20:33] <adac> acicula, thx a lot!
[20:33] <Ari_Lazarus> Automounting and giving it exec permissions
[20:33] <brontosaurusrex> nm, gnome-do restart fixed it
[20:34] <Ari_Lazarus> ok
[20:34] <Ari_Lazarus> I'm going to try restarting
[20:34] <Ari_Lazarus> brb
[20:34] <mAriachi> bump :D, nobody else experiencing the same issue?
[20:34] <razertek> k
[20:34] <guest_007> How can i switch to use software video drivers instead of nvidia? all nvidia drivers are broken with my pc.
[20:34] <mAriachi> posting again in case anybody missed it! xD
[20:35] <razertek> mAriachi: k
[20:35] <mAriachi> my laptop is playing through the line out and the internal speakers simultaneously! i want it to be like when i plug in my headphones, only the headphones to work, anybody have an idea?
[20:36] <loltoad> guest_007, replace nvidia with vesa in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:36] <F223> I've got gnome installed right now on Ubuntu, if I switch to KDE, will it mess everything up?
[20:36] <clrg> mAriachi: I'm sure if someone knew the solution to your problem, they would've answered. Have you tried google?
[20:36] <mkanyicy> clrg, umask does not work with ext2/3/4 partitions IMO
[20:36] <mAriachi> F223: nope, go ahead and try it
[20:36] <onetinsoldier> mAriachi: try installing gnome-alsamixer. easier to work with in my opinion
[20:36] <mAriachi> sudo apt-get install kde-desktop
[20:36] <hwilde> mAriachi, mute the one you dont want to play
[20:36] <wolter> does the gvfsd-ftp server work on lan?
[20:36] <mAriachi> hwilde: no can do, tried all the combinations, wont do it
[20:37] <brontosaurusrex> wolter: any ftp server will work
[20:37] <hwilde> mAriachi, you just have to mute line out and leave headphones unmuted.
[20:37] <mAriachi> hwilde: when i do that, everything is muted
[20:37] <razertek> mAriachi: what is your output device in sound prefs?
[20:37] <mAriachi> hwilde: no sound comming from either source
[20:38] <clrg> mkanyicy: You're right, sorry
[20:38] <mAriachi> razertek: i have 2, nvidia HDA (ALSA) and Realtek (OSS)
[20:38] <guest_007> loltoad: does vesa support 1600x900 ?
[20:38] <wolter> brontosaurusrex, is that i cannot access the ftp share from firefox or chrome if I use gvfsd-ftp
[20:38] <clrg> Ari_Lazarus: Try "sudo chmod 750 -R /your/programs/directory/*" instead
[20:38] <mAriachi> razertek: tried all the combinations with muting and trying
[20:39] <hoelk> Sorry to bug, but just a small question, does anyone know any rumors about texlive 2009 comming to ubuntu?
[20:39] <henkpoley> Say I have a private key to SSH to a machine, is there any way to automatically provide this key file? I mean at home I trust my machine, ssh could just provide the right key for the hostname + username combo.
[20:39] <guest_007> clrg: /* will miss all dirs and files startinng from . like .htaccess ot .private
[20:39] <mkanyicy> clrg, Ari_Lazarus has left, he/she is rebooting his/her machine
[20:39] <paolo> hi
[20:39] <razertek> mAriachi: but what is it?
[20:39] <brontosaurusrex> wolter: no idea, i always use ftp clients or nautilus
[20:39] <loltoad> guest_007, i only know that cuz its simmilar to the problem im dealing with .. that said i believe it does you just have to set Modes rite
[20:39] <mAriachi> razertek: Realtek is selected
[20:39] <mAriachi> (OSS)
[20:39] <razertek> mAriachi: and what are all the options in the list for output
[20:40] <clrg> guest_007: That's right. We want to make binaries executable, and they don't start with a dot.
[20:40] <alamati> anyone know how I can enable expo in compiz? I mean similar expo in MacBooks. thanks
[20:40] <mAriachi> razertek: you mean soundcard?
[20:40] <mkanyicy> henkpoley, never ssh a private key
[20:40] <recmajkemi> how do i change keyboard input? change languages i mean
[20:40] <razertek> mAriachi: no all the devices available for output
[20:40] <jrib> alamati: try #compiz, you need to use ccsm
[20:40] <henkpoley> mkanyicy: I mean automatically use the identity file
[20:40] <mAriachi> recmajkemi: add the keyboard layout applet on the panel
[20:41] <wizzo50> How do you install a tar.bz2 file on the terminal?
[20:41] <clrg> henkpoley: Your private key never ever leaves your PC. Only the public key does.
[20:41] <jrib> wizzo50: you avoid it.  What are you trying to install?
[20:41] <koshari> alamati "super e"
[20:41] <mAriachi> Realtek ALC660-VD (OSS mixer)
[20:41] <mkanyicy> henkpoley, what is an identity file?
[20:41] <alamati> koshari: my thinkpad have no super key
[20:41] <mAriachi> razertek: Realtek ALC660-VD (OSS mixer)
[20:41] <wizzo50> jrib /tmp/firefox-3.6rc2.tar.bz2
[20:41] <onetinsoldier> recmajkemi: try System --> Preferences --> Keyboard --> Layouts Tab
[20:41] <Renatus> so whenever i try to open up a browser it says its loading in the taskbar but it never comes up and it just closes
[20:41] <jrib> wizzo50: firefox is installed by default
[20:41] <surf> Hi I have Karmic and my wi-fi connection keeps disconnecting. ASUS UL-50 notebook. Any Idea?
[20:42] <henkpoley> clrg, mkanyicy : yes yes, I just try to help someone else who already has it the files correctly placed but needs to specify the identity file each time
[20:42] <koshari> alamati the super key is the equiv to the windows key
[20:42] <mAriachi> razertek: and Nvidia HDA (ALSA)
[20:42] <duffydack> surf, is it a broadcom?
[20:42] <clrg> surf: I got the same issue. It appears to be a bug in NetworkManager. I use wicd as a replacement.
[20:42] <alamati> dear koshari, old ThinkPads have no win key
[20:42] <recmajkemi> onetinsoldier: tnx found it, can i append system shortcut to toggle between languages?
[20:42] <mkanyicy> henkpoley, what is an identity file again?
[20:43] <jrib> wizzo50: should be in your Internet menu iirc
[20:43] <koshari> ok, do you have compiz settings manager installed?
[20:43] <wizzo50> jrib, It was a file on about the next one coming out
[20:43] <razertek> mAriachi: what are your options for oss mixer settings
[20:43] <surf> it's my wi-fi router at home. My card is and antheros wi-fi card
[20:43] <duffydack> surf, I have similar issue... downloads for ages, then just disses for no reason... as he said, wicd is better for wireless imo.
[20:43] <surf> clrg, how can I do it?
[20:43] <Ari_Lazarus> Giving exec permissions, seem to work. Thanks razertek , clrg :)
[20:43] <wizzo50> iirc?
[20:43] <jrib> wizzo50: that's not supported, it's better to wait until it hits the repositories
[20:43] <clrg> surf: "sudo apt-get install wicd"
[20:43] <surf> duffydack, thx. How can I use it?
[20:43] <Al1> is it possible to run windows skype thru wine? If yes what suggestion you have for me to achieve that?
[20:43] <jrib> wizzo50: "if I recall correctly"
[20:43] <razertek> Ari_Lazarus: np
[20:43] <mAriachi> razertek: Volume (maxed), Line - In (min), microphone (min) and PCM-2
[20:44] <duffydack> surf, my buddy has an atheros chipset wifi, and network manager locks up his machine when using it... wicd solved it
[20:44] <clrg> Al1: I believe there's a linux version of Skype? http://www.skype.com
[20:44] <surf> seems cool
[20:44] <alamati> jrib: Is the ccsm in repo?
[20:44] <mkanyicy> razertek, just curious on the 'exec' option on fstab, does it apply to all files and folders in a partition?
[20:44] <alamati> I can't find it :(
[20:44] <jrib> wizzo50: anyway if you want to ignore my advice search for "firefox new version" at help.ubuntu.com but I've been here for a while and I've had to help people remove their custom installs several times because of issues (or accomplish something the hard way because it's not from the repositories)
[20:45] <jrib> !ccsm | alamati
[20:45] <wizzo50> jrib, I have had files before that I download and never got installed because of the extinsion tar.bz2
[20:45] <koshari> alamati you may need to installl it
[20:45] <jrib> wizzo50: good.  You shouldn't install things from tar.gz, especially if they are in the repositories already
[20:45] <wizzo50> jrib, You know more then tme
[20:45] <wizzo50> me
[20:45] <Al1> clrg: there is but for more than month i am unable to run webcam on linux skype, even if webcam is workin on onther applications...
[20:45] <wizzo50> jrib, why?
[20:45] <alamati> thanks. simple-ccsm is in repo
[20:46] <kyle6513> Hello, I'm having problems forcing my laptop to display 1024x768 resolution instead of 1024x600
[20:46] <Tukeke> http://i41.tinypic.com/217vhv.png
[20:46] <Tukeke> http://i41.tinypic.com/217vhv.png
[20:46] <razertek> mAriachi: makes the partion itself exec
[20:46] <gabriel__> salut
[20:46] <ikonia> Tukeke: any reason you're showing us that ?
[20:46] <wizzo50> jrib, Why should I not install files like that?
[20:46] <jellow> !fr | gabriel__
[20:46] <mAriachi> kyle6513: what kind of graphic card are you using?
[20:47] <jrib> wizzo50: the advantages of using the repositories are mainly 1) you get automatic updates 2) often times, some attempt at integration is made and 3) APT makes it easy to remove things you don't like
[20:47] <mAriachi> razertek: didn't quite understand that
[20:47] <gabriel__> jai un léger souci avec un ibm thinkpad sous ubuntu
[20:47] <jrib> !fr | gabriel__
[20:47] <clrg> Al1: Sounds like Skype doesn't support your webcam. I don't think it's going to work with wine if it doesn't with the native version.
[20:47] <kyle6513> mAriachi, Its intel intergrated, not too sure of a model number
[20:47] <rafkin> hello
[20:47] <wizzo50> jrib, Oh I see
[20:47] <wizzo50> ok
[20:47] <mAriachi> kyle6513: have you tried searching with the Hardware Drivers option?

[20:48] <mAriachi> razertek: yes yes i know that, but what has that to do with my sound problem?
[20:48] <kyle6513> mAriachi, you are talking about restricted drivers right?
[20:48] <jrib> wizzo50: if you feel a bit inexperienced but want to test things out, that's a good thing, but don't do it on your main install.  Instead use a virtualizer like virtualbox so you can have a separate operating system for testing that you can easily revert if something goes wrong
[20:48] <Al1> clrg: and do you think it is possible to make it support?
[20:48] <jellow> rakan: Hello
[20:48] <mAriachi> kyle6513: right you are

[20:50] <mAriachi> kyle6513: do you have a notebook or a pc?
[20:51] <razertek> mkanyicy: you were asking?
[20:51] <jrib> wizzo50: even better, it's just a file and you run another copy of ubuntu inside a "window"
[20:51] <kyle6513> mAriachi, I have a netbook, asus eeepc 1000H
[20:51] <rafkin> i have pc

[20:52] <clrg> Al1: Skype for Linux is still beta. Wait for the final version, it'll probably support your webcam by then
[20:52] <rafkin> ubuntu 9.10
[20:52] <alamati> I installed restricted-extra but I got this message in playing mkv format:
[20:52] <alamati> No suitable decoder module:
[20:52] <alamati> VLC does not support the audio or video format "avc1". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
[20:52] <alamati> what's the problem?
[20:52] <FloodBot1> alamati: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:53] <kyle6513> alamati, the format is not supported by vlc from what i understand
[20:53] <recmajkemi> how do i toggle between languages
[20:53] <nevermoreskies> When I try to open PulseAudio Device Chooser, it won't show up, and if I run it from the terminal, I get an error saying: ** (padevchooser:4400): WARNING **: pa_browser_new() failed. ... any ideas how to make it work?
[20:53] <mAriachi> kyle6513: mate, run this in a terminal
[20:53] <alamati> what do I do?
[20:53] <mAriachi> kyle 6513: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
[20:53] <Al1> clrg: is there any possible answer on: when?
[20:54] <guntbert> intangir: should not be possible

[20:54] <rek> i'm tired of having audio problems please help me out with this issue.... now for example my flash plugin is missing the audio damn
[20:55] <mAriachi> rek: what browser are you using?
[20:55] <trism> recmajkemi: if you want to toggle between the language used in the gui menus, etc, you can log out, switch the language and log back in; if you just want to type in another language you'll need to setup ibus or something similiar
[20:55] <mAriachi> rek: and what os?
[20:55] <rek> what can i do to reload the audio if an mp3 or a plugin does not work???????
[20:55] <rek> lol os... hardy

[20:55] <rek> mAriachi:  firefox
[20:55] <mAriachi> rek: have you installed restricted extras?
[20:55] <rek> yes
[20:55] <clrg> Al1: I guess it ranges from one week to ten years. I can't give you an accurate answer. Why don't you use MSN or ICQ instead?
[20:56] <mAriachi> kyle6513: ok, now try to start the app in the system settings
[20:56] <mAriachi> kyle6513: it should be there, and you can change your resolution there
[20:56] <wizzo50> jrib, Is there an addon in Firefox for that?
[20:56] <filthpig> razertek: daftykins: I've discovered xorg.conf is not in /etc/X11 as I'm used to, but it's put to my /home folder. I presume this is normal. Are you good at xorg.conf-hacking?
[20:56] <rek> jrib is a river told me jrib,help me out with my issue
[20:56] <mAriachi> rek: google your problem mate, i would suggest you reinstall the restricted extras
[20:56] <kyle6513> mAriachi, under what name
[20:57] <mAriachi> kyle6513: xserver
[20:57] <guntbert> !google | mAriachi
[20:57] <jrib> !virtualbox | wizzo50
[20:57] <kyle6513> mAriachi, sorry to tell ya, but its not
[20:57] <kyle6513> mAriachi, ill try run it via alt f2
[20:58] <mAriachi> kyle6513: just skim through the menus, or try that, dont know the command though
[20:58] <Al1> clrg: it was working ok, until i updated to ubuntu 9.10 i am unable to work my webcam since. i don't know about linux msn or icq version... and have no contacts there
[20:58] <mAriachi> kyle6513: it should be there
[20:58] <mx> hi ! anybody can help me ?
[20:58] <JasonCook> @mx with what
[20:58] <kyle6513> mAriachi, yeah, its not anywhere
[20:58] <mAriachi> kyle6513: or just try typing the xserver-xorg-video-intel in a terminal
[20:59] <mx> I want to reproduce wav files from Start dict
[20:59] <kyle6513> mAriachi, command not found
[20:59] <mx> a dictionary aplication

[21:00] <mx> okok
[21:00] <mAriachi> kyle6513: don't know then, i would suggest manualy editing the xorg file, but that is dangerous. If your xserver is the latest version then everything should be fine
[21:01] <brontosaurusrex> mx: explain 'reproduce'
[21:01] <kyle6513> mAriachi, using xrandr, the very first line says, Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 600, maximum 4096 x 4096
[21:01] <mAriachi> kyle6513: or if you say you have and eee pc, i would suggest trying out the Ubuntu NetBook Remix OS, it is optimized for Netbooks such as yours, cheers
[21:02] <kyle6513> mAriachi, Tried the netbook remix, it was very unstable :/

[21:07] <kyle6513> blinkingWifi, This would be hard wired, so i dont think it would be possible, try opening up the card or laptop and adding a manual switch to it
[21:07] <kyle6513> blinkingWifi, this wouldnt happen to be on an eeepc would it?
[21:07] <rek> does not work
[21:07] <mAriachi> blinkingWifi: well, it's the only workaroung, i do that when im playing movies and the DVD-ROM Led blinks me into insanity, i ducktaped it!

[21:34] <filthpig> Guest80688; known problem. Wifi drivers are often bad due to lots of reverse engineering and sloppy work/documentation from the makers of the chips. But you should google around and see if there are newer drivers for your card..
[21:34] <Krzysiek> Can't SSH into Ubuntu, Any Ideas?

[21:42] <donteatyellowsno> is it normal?
[21:42] <F223> what are some cool things to do with linux when you're bored?
[21:42] <icelander> F223: Getting Wifi working is fun and will eat up a lot of time
[21:42] <dotblank> ok I need an expert...
[21:42] <apipkin> i started playing with workspaces in 9.10 and i have two rows, but can't access the bottom rows. how do i do that?

[21:43] <zero1> F223: aptitude moo
[21:43] <icelander> F223: Ah, that must be why you're looking for something else to do
[21:43] <dotblank> Aynone know where the alsa-drivers are located for karmic. I know its supposed to be with the kernel but I borked my set up and know I dont have em
[21:43] <kinja-sheep> F223: Play a game. pingus
[21:43] <dotblank> reinstalling my kernel did not help either
[21:44] <F223> I'd like to customize Ubuntu further to just look/be cooler, but I don't know where to start
[21:44] <icelander> I'm getting "recvfrom(ctrl_iface): Bad file descriptor" when I try to use wpa_supplicant to connect to my network

[21:44] <dotblank> the one that came with ubuntu worked fine
[21:45] <F223> I liked that aptitude moo thing
[21:45] <arand> F223: gnome-look.org?
[21:45] <kinja-sheep> F223: Start something, at least.  Perhaps, customizing your IRC client? I did mine. :)

[21:46] <kinja-sheep> F223: XChat. I hope to learn irssi (but meh).
[21:46] <shadeslayer> Dr_Willis: hehe...
[21:47] <F223> ah, I'm using... pidgin
[21:47] <Dr_Willis> I perfer weechat 0.3.0 then  irssi now a days
[21:47] <kinja-sheep> Dr_Willis: Why?
[21:47] <shadeslayer> F223: install KDE and install all the widgets on kde-look.org
[21:47] <zero1> wish empathy had support for irc by default
[21:47] <shadeslayer> F223: also on gnome we have mac4lin
[21:47] <icelander> I guess nobody knows about getting WPA working
[21:47] <jrib> !wifi > icelander
[21:47] <hwilde> icelander, i know about wpa what do u need
[21:47] <shadeslayer> zero1: it has support,not just default :)
[21:48] <Dr_Willis> kinja-sheep:  it has features that irssi dosent.
[21:48] <kyle6513> Having problems making my laptop display a resolution larger than 1024x700, anyone who can help?
[21:48] <hwilde> !fixres > kyle6513
[21:48] <dsl_> whats the keyboard shortcut for desk switching with the fancy '3d' preview please?
[21:48] <Lord-Readman> Hello, im wanting to help out with ubuntu translations
[21:48] <zero1> http://webchat.freenode.net/ is a good irc client tho
[21:48] <shadeslayer> dsl_: in compiz?
[21:48] <hwilde> dsl_, isnt it ctrl left right arrow ?
[21:48] <Dr_Willis> !cube
[21:48] <kyle6513> hwilde, I told you before, anything on that page does not help me
[21:48] <Dr_Willis> if the cube stuff is enabled in compiz. :)
[21:48] <dsl_> no just a pseudo 3d view of desks
[21:49] <shadeslayer> dsl_: also see ccsm
[21:49] <Dr_Willis> You can spend a week playing w3ith CCSM
[21:49] <kinja-sheep> !ccsm | kyle6513
[21:49] <shadeslayer> !ccsm | dsl_
[21:49] <apipkin> hmmm can't seem to find a key command to take me to the second row of desktops
[21:49] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, i think you have the wrong guy there...
[21:49] <icelander> How do I get WPA working with wpa_supplicant
[21:49] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: I was thinking the same thing. :o
[21:49] <rubberducky> i have a grub2 question, i have a dedicated paritiion that i want to use for grub
[21:49] <rubberducky> is that a good idea?
[21:49] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, :P
[21:49] <rubberducky> since i regularly install new linux distro's and my bootloader gets overwritten all the time
[21:49] <hwilde> icelander, did you make your supplicant.conf file ?
[21:50] <Dr_Willis> rubberducky:  making a /boot/ partition used to be common practice.
[21:50] <ghost_> ö
[21:50] <rubberducky> ah
[21:50] <icelander> hwilde: Yep, got the conf file
[21:50] <dsl_> not the full 3d thing, just the preview of screens sort of set back
[21:50] <Dr_Willis> rubberducky:  thats not the same as the bootloader location. the bootloader goes in the MBR.
[21:50] <juuliiaan> #dibujo
[21:50] <icelander> I'm getting this error: "recvfrom(ctrl_ifce): Bad file descriptor"
[21:50] <rubberducky> yeah sorry, messed up terms
[21:50] <ghost_> hey, any chance to rotate my desktop under nvidia card? tried with control panel but dont see the option
[21:50] <rubberducky> can i add a /boot partition now
[21:50] <kyle6513> dsl_, try holding alt and control and press down
[21:50] <Dr_Willis> rubberducky:  i find it easier to test out disrtos in virtualbox
[21:50] <kinja-sheep> ghost_: You have to install compizconfig-settings-manager first
[21:50] <rubberducky> after i already installed ubuntu 9.10
[21:50] <hwilde> icelander, what is the name of your wireless interface, eth1?  ath0 ?
[21:51] <icelander> I don't know
[21:51] <kinja-sheep> ghost_: Oh rotation, I'm checking it myself.
[21:51] <hwilde> icelander, type iwconfig
[21:51] <ghost_> kinja-sheep: thx mate :o) i have ccsm installed
[21:51] <rubberducky> i already have a partition, but how do i configure everything including grub to boot from it and stuff?
[21:51] <icelander> It says wlan0
[21:51] <hwilde> icelander, do you know what type of card it is ?
[21:51] <Dr_Willis> rubberducky:  during the install mount /boot/ to that partition
[21:52] <rubberducky> yeah, but the isntall is already done:-)
[21:52] <rubberducky> can it still be done?
[21:52] <kri1987> i've lost access to my home folder... can't even cd into it... went in as root and basically recursively changed permission to 777.. still have no access
[21:52] <kri1987> i'm stuck guys
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> rubberducky:  normally /boot/ is a small partition at the start of the hard drive. ages ago - people made sure it was below the 1024 cylinder limitation
[21:52] <rubberducky> or is a reinstall the easiest option?
[21:52] <shadowwulf> is there somewhere i an find a listing where i can safely remove items from package manager without crashing ubuntu ... i have 4 GB to work with
[21:52] <donteatyellowsno> hey icelander,,, is my ubuntu DNS suppose to be the same as my windows DNS?
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> rubberducky:  too late then.
[21:52] <icelander> hwilde: Yeah, an Inprocomm 2220
[21:52] <rubberducky> ok, i'll reinstell then,
[21:52] <rubberducky> it's a fresh install anyways
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> rubberducky:  i even have /boot/ with some iso files in it. and grub2 setup to boot the iso files as a failsafe rescue option
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> rubberducky:  its debateable if its worth the effort really.
[21:52] <icelander> donteatyellowsno: Yes
[21:53] <hwilde> icelander, oi what kinda chipset is that ?   type   "man wpa_supplicant"  and scroll down to the list of drivers (hostap, madwifi, wext, etc)
[21:53] <rubberducky> where do you but the iso's then?
[21:53] <rubberducky> and how big should i make it?
[21:53] <Dr_Willis> rubberducky:  i got mine in /boot/ as well.
[21:53] <rubberducky> ok
[21:53] <Dr_Willis> rubberducky:  depends on what you are doing exactly with it
[21:53] <rubberducky> now it's 50mb
[21:53] <rubberducky> but that seems big
[21:53] <rubberducky> i have backtrack linux in it
[21:53] <rubberducky> and ubuntu
[21:53] <rubberducky> and windows
[21:53] <rubberducky> but i install a new backtrack every now and then
[21:54] <hwilde> icelander, then you type    sudo /sbin/wpa_supplicant -d -w -i wlan0 -D driverhere  -c /path/to/config/file
[21:54] <rubberducky> and it always messes up by installing LILO
[21:54] <Dr_Willis> the only things that normally goes in /boot/ are various kernel and support files.
[21:54] <pershian007> hi i cant copy DVD move to hard disk /// I/O error // helppppppppppppp
[21:54] <hwilde> icelander, try driver wext first
[21:54] <rubberducky> i don't know how big the kernel is actually
[21:54] <rubberducky> is 1mb enought for /boot?
[21:54] <rubberducky> or am i being stupid...
[21:54] <Dr_Willis> rubberducky:  1mb is stupid
[21:54] <kinja-sheep> rubberducky: No.
[21:54] <rubberducky> :D
[21:54] <rubberducky> sorry then
[21:54] <Dr_Willis> look at your current /boot/ and see how large it is
[21:54] <rubberducky> i don't have one now
[21:55] <rubberducky> so i wouldn't know
[21:55] <shadowwulf> is there somewhere i an find a listing where i can safely remove items from package manager without crashing ubuntu ... i have 4 GB to work with
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> if you ahve linux isntalled then you have a /boot/ directory
[21:55] <rubberducky> aah sorry
[21:55] <shadeslayer> pershian007: um maybe the DVD is corrupted and/or the HD too
[21:55] <rubberducky> yes
[21:55] <rubberducky> i get what you mean
[21:55] <mkanyicy> kri1987, pastebin "sudo ls -lh ~"
[21:55] <rubberducky> 14mb
[21:56] <rubberducky> so i can keep it at 50?
[21:56] <kinja-sheep> Following up on something, what is the appropriate way to remove old kerenls? Just purge them in the "linux-image-<random>?"
[21:56] <shadeslayer> mkanyicy: sudo with ls ?
[21:56] <pershian007> shadeslayer no
[21:56] <rubberducky> seems pretty future proof
[21:56] <shadeslayer> pershian007: are you sure?
[21:56] <Dr_Willis> drive space is cheap. Mine is 3gb
[21:56] <mkanyicy> shadeslayer, yes
[21:56] <Krzysiek> VNC from windows into Ubuntu connection refused??
[21:56] <pershian007> shadeslayer yes
[21:56] <microhaxo> I am having trouble setting up my SSD. In ubunto i am told to gedit /etc/fstab and replace relatime with notime for my ssd, however i do not see relatime or anything close to that in fstab??
[21:56] <mkanyicy> shadeslayer, is there a prob in that?
[21:56] <icelander> hwilde: no joy
[21:57] <shadeslayer> mkanyicy: i dont think sudo is required with ls
[21:57] <icelander> and no more time to fiddle
[21:57] <icelander> Linux is for people without children who need taken care of
[21:57] <shadeslayer> mkanyicy: it may/may not cause harm
[21:57] <mkanyicy> shadeslayer, i did not say so either
[21:57] <aafuentes> Hi! im trying to compare how much ubuntu change debian. where can i find out more about the proccess ubuntu follow? I know they freeze debian at some point. Where can i get those points?
[21:57] <mkanyicy> shadeslayer, it WILL NEVER do a harm!
[21:57] <Dr_Willis> !release
[21:58] <Dr_Willis> aafuentes:  the release schedule is a big differance also. and 'upstart' is a big differance
[21:58] <mkanyicy> shadeslayer, fyi, i'm a bit too advanced on linux
[21:58] <shadeslayer> mkanyicy: well i am still not sure if sudo should be used with ls,but its your call
[21:59] <L3dPlatedLinux> was wondering if I am the only one with a issue with k9copy crashing
[21:59] <rubberducky> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CreateBootPartitionAfterInstall
[21:59] <mkanyicy> shadeslayer, you were supposed to read the whole thing before you comment
[21:59] <rubberducky> seems like i can still do the boot thing now
[21:59] <theoraforever> I'm trying to send a Notification Bubble ("Computer will be shut down") to all the other users logged in. The closest thing all my googling finds is wall, which only sends messages to terminal windows. Is there a way to do this? (I do have root, BTW)
[21:59] <ghost_> hey, any chance to rotate my desktop under nvidia card? tried with control panel but dont see the option
[21:59] <aafuentes> Dr_Willis, what do you mean?
[21:59] <mkanyicy> shadeslayer, sudo gives a normal user 'sudo
[21:59] <mkanyicy> shadeslayer, sudo gives a normal user 'sudo' priviledges
[21:59] <shadeslayer> kinja-sheep: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/removing-old-kernels
[21:59] <mkanyicy> shadenzo, even a root types
[21:59] <shadeslayer> mkanyicy: i know about elevation of priviliges
[22:00] <mkanyicy> shadenzo, even a root types 'ls'
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> aafuentes:  learn about how the release schedule works and how upstart works.. thats 2 big difrerances from ubuntu to debian
[22:00] <mkanyicy> sorry shadenzo
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> ghost_:  the various xrandr tools can do that
[22:00] <shadenzo> nothing
[22:00] <pershian007>  i cant copy DVD  move  file to hard disk error   I/O error
[22:00] <mkanyicy> shadeslayer, well do you know about the safety of 'ls'?
[22:00] <aafuentes> Dr_Willis, I intend to compare the source code directly
[22:00] <zagabar> I configured my server to forward from eth1 and wlan0 to eth0 so that I could use it as a router kinda. ICS in other words. That works great. However now another problem arose because of it. I cannot connect to my mailserver anymore with like mozilla firebird or squirrelmail. What can be the cause for this?
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> io erorr = dirty disk, or drive
[22:00] <undeman> mmm
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> aafuentes:  time to get digging then i guess good luck.
[22:01] <aafuentes> Dr_Willis, Thats what im doing right now ^^ thanks
[22:01] <ghost_> Dr_Willis:  no see here please http://pastebin.com/m13f0823
[22:01] <kinja-sheep> theoraforever: notify-send "zomg" "zomg" (for starters(.
[22:01] <Dr_Willis> aafuentes:  i think the various ubuntu packages source have ubuntu specific patchs  for things
[22:01] <shadeslayer> mkanyicy: nope
[22:01] <mkanyicy> shadeslayer, if you cannot 'cd' to a directory then you cannot know what's inside then 'ls dirname' may not even work
[22:01] <kyle6513> dsl_, try holding alt and control and press down
[22:01] <kyle6513> dsl_, sorry, wrong thing
[22:02] <kyle6513> Having problems making my laptop display a resolution larger than 1024x700, anyone who can help?
[22:02] <donteatyellowsno> ladies and gents, lets have 10 minutes of silent for the people of haiti. thank you
[22:02] <shadeslayer> mkanyicy: yeah so?
[22:02] <aafuentes> Dr_Willis, i found for example this page http://patches.ubuntu.com/ where ubuntu put their patches on a regular basis
[22:02] <mkanyicy> shadeslayer, then 'sudo ls' will enable you to see whats inside
[22:02] <shadeslayer> mkanyicy: im trying to see the history of the problem but cant find the original question
[22:02] <aafuentes> Dr_Willis, but i cant find what are the exact freeze points in debian repositories
[22:03] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: You tried it with custom Xorg.conf? Also, see !fixres
[22:03] <damanmagee> been a windows user for years and been using kubuntuntu 9.10 now for 3 weeks and havent looked back since, waste of money buying windows 7
[22:03] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, i thought that xorg was no longer used?
[22:04] <mkanyicy> shadeslayer, ok, the other guy said his home directory is inaccessible and have tried chmod without any luck as a root. now thats strange, I then asked for 'ls' as a root
[22:04] <theoraforever> kinja-sheep: That's great! How do I put that on another users screen? (I presume that requires root)
[22:04] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: It does not mean you ought not to use it. :o
[22:04] <pershian007> i cant copy DVD  move  file to hard disk error   I/O error

[22:04] <mkanyicy> kri1987, did you finally get your system working
[22:05] <ghostlines> does the latest ubuntu's mencoder support multithreading by default?
[22:05] <shadeslayer> mkanyicy: ah ok then.. my bad
[22:05] <mkanyicy> shadeslayer, just  curious, what makes you think that 'sudo ls' can be dangerous?
[22:05] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, is there anyway I can generate an xorg.conf and then edit it from there?
[22:06] <pershian007> i cant copy DVD  move  file to hard disk error   I/O error help meeeee

[22:06] <kri1987> sorry it's a bit messy...
[22:06] <kinja-sheep> theoraforever: You will have to use something like --> DISPLAY=:0 notify-send "Head" "Body"
[22:06] <kyle6513> kri1987, pastebin that next time

[22:09] <kri1987> haha oops sorry i'm very new to this
[22:09] <kri1987> using the web client
[22:09] <mkanyicy> kri1987, copy everything and paste it at http://paste.ubuntu.com not here
[22:09] <Dr_Willis> kri1987:  you want to do 'ls -al | pastebinit'
[22:09] <shadeslayer> kri1987: oh no problem :)
[22:09] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, where should the xorg be?
[22:09] <Lord-Readman> is linux-image-generic-pae{p} safe to remove?
[22:09] <hwilde> kri1987, he wants you to type   "ls -al | pastebinit"

Do I have a bad Video driver?  Any help on changing that?
[22:09] <kri1987> ahh
[22:09] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, well its not -.-"
[22:10] <hwilde> kri1987, that will take the output of the "ls -al" command and send it to pastebin, that will return a link, and copy and paste that link here for us
[22:10] <mkanyicy> kri1987, anyway I saw what I wanted to see
[22:10] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: You could try "Xorg -configure"
[22:10] <kri1987> http://pastebin.com/f38ac595a
[22:10] <kyle6513> why not just get him to go to the actual pastebin website

[22:10] <hwilde> microhaxo, sudo vi

[22:11] <kri1987> no
[22:11] <Ziber> Alright, so I have a Xen VM and when I boot it up, SSHd doesnt initally listen on the IPv6 address I told it to. I have to restart SSHd in order to make it listen on that address. Any reasons this would happen?
[22:11] <microhaxo> I did that
[22:11] <kri1987> i'm ssh in
[22:11] <kri1987> and i can log in
[22:11] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, do I need to kill xserver first?

[22:11] <kyle6513> !pastebin
[22:11] <kri1987> but it doesn't run .bashrc, or .profile.. because it doesn't have access to my home directory
[22:11] <hwilde> kri1987, try to respond to the person you are talking to, like for example I put your name first on this line
[22:11] <kri1987> i created a folder called test
[22:11] <kri1987> in order to check persmissions..
[22:12] <theoraforever> kinja-sheep: Got it to work, thanks.
[22:12] <hwilde> kri1987, try to type all on one line and not hit enter for punctuation... lotta people in this chat
[22:12] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, well, when i run it, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d53a249b
[22:12] <kinja-sheep> theoraforever: No problem. You even can add parameters for time (unlimited) and icon too. :)
[22:13] <theoraforever> I've done that before; what I couldn't figure out was getting it onto the other screen.
[22:13] <pershian007> kinja-sheep i cant copy DVD  move  file to hard disk error   I/O error help meeeee
[22:13] <mkanyicy> kri1987, paste the output of "ls -alh ~" at http://paste.ubuntu.com
[22:13] <kinja-sheep> pershian007: IO ERROR -- NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
[22:13] <kri1987> hwilde, sorry bout that. I created a folder called test. Put permissions as 777. I've noticed that none of the users have access to the home dir anymore. I'm using ubuntu server. So it may have some se linux policy or something... but it's very strange. I've tried chmod 777 and chown to my user as well
[22:13] <kyle6513> pershian007, sounds like a copy protection or faulty hardware
[22:13] <kri1987> http://pastebin.com/f738ce05e
[22:14] <kri1987> hwilde, http://pastebin.com/f738ce05e
[22:14] <pershian007>  kinja-sheep i cant copyyyyyyyy
[22:14] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: You have Nvidia GUI? There should be an option to "save to Xorg"
[22:14] <kinja-sheep> pershian007: That is correct. You can not copy.
[22:14] <hwilde> kri1987, sudo chown yourname:yourname somefile        <-- that will give you permissions
[22:14] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, why is he singling you out for the question he has
[22:14] <austin_work> anyone familiar with ssh rules? I'm trying to limit a particular user to ssh access only from the local network, but sshd keeps denying him: AllowUsers "jason@\i192\.168\.*"
[22:14] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, ah, its not nvidia, its intel intergrated graphics
[22:15] <ghost_> has anyone a working xrandr under nvidia card?
[22:15] <hwilde> austin_work, are you in /etc/hosts.allow ?
[22:15] <austin_work> no, /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[22:15] <pershian007> ilius kinja-sheep  rast mige
[22:15] <hwilde> austin_work, pastebinit for me please
[22:15] <austin_work> other users need remote access, but that user only needs local
[22:15] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: You might want to try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[22:15] <mkanyicy> kri1987, no wonder
[22:15] <kri1987> hwilde, didn't work. I still have permission denied
[22:16] <beli> hwilde: hosts.allow is used by tcp_wrappers enabled apps only
[22:16] <mkanyicy> kri1987, directories MUST be executable
[22:16] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, will that give me an xorg? :D
[22:16] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: I'm hoping for it to.
[22:16] <mkanyicy> kri1987, do this
[22:16] <javatexan> anyone know what the 100 MB partition that windows makes along with the normal partition?
[22:16] <VCoolio> ghost_: it seems not; I used an app that used xrandr without success; with vidmod it worked ok; hope that's useful for you, I don't know more
[22:16] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, nope, sorry >.< unless its in a different place
[22:16] <mkanyicy> kri1987, sudo chmod +x /home /home*
[22:17] <mkanyicy> kri1987, sorry not that but this "sudo chmod +x /home /home/*"
[22:17] <austin_work> hwilde: http://pastebin.com/m534f57f0
[22:17] <kri1987> hwilde, actually.. no, that looks like it is working
[22:17] <ghost_> VCoolio: thx! ill try out vidmod asap
[22:17] <xNinja> hello...isn`t there an apt mirror to install zend optimizer in ubuntu 8.10 ?
[22:17] <ieatworld> how do i find which wireless card my laptop is using?
[22:17] <austin_work> hwilde: tried a few versions of it, none are working
[22:17] <kri1987> hwilde, i'll get back to you... let me try recursively do it for a few folders
[22:17] <beli> ieatworld: is it working?
[22:17] <kyle6513> ieatworld, lspci if its a pci device
[22:17] <hwilde> austin_work, when jason is logged in type  "who -u"  and where is he coming from?
[22:17] <ghost_> VCoolio: vidmod is not in the repos?
[22:18] <hwilde> kri1987, -r option is recursive.
[22:18] <phong_> hi everyone in the chat rooom
[22:18] <kyle6513> phong_, hi
[22:18] <ieatworld> thanks kyle :)
[22:19] <mkanyicy> kri1987, whatever you do, you /home permissions are not fine, same as your $HOME directory
[22:19] <kyle6513> ieatworld, no problems
[22:19] <phong_> does anyone know how to install evtouch ?
[22:19] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: Try creating an empty file /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- Then one of the commands to generate a new one.
[22:19] <toader> Hi, could anybody help me here? thanks http://dpaste.com/147684/
[22:19] <kyle6513> phong_, does sudo apt-get install evtouch work?
[22:19] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, okay
[22:19] <mkanyicy> kri1987, you need to give the 'x' permission to the /home folder and any folder  under /home
[22:19] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, wait. should i try all this as sudo?
[22:19] <phong_> let me try
[22:19] <mkanyicy> kri1987, that is all you have to do, i guess
[22:20] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, oh nevermind i was already doing that
[22:20] <xNinja> hello...?

[22:20] <microhaxo> Help, i've edited my fstab and now it wont boot, it cant mount root. when i try to mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 / -o remount,rw it wont startx!
[22:20] <VCoolio> ghost_: do 'apt-cache search vidmode' and you'll get some libs; but again: I'm a noob on video stuff
[22:21] <austin_work> hwilde: ah, it's using the hostname, not the ip of the client, that explains it
[22:21] <ghost_> ok
[22:21] <mkanyicy> kri1987, are you progressing?
[22:21] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: You have checked the Hardware Drivers under System --> Admin, right?
[22:21] <brontosaurusrex> Counterspell: shift + ctrl +v ?

[22:21] <ob3r0n> toader, ls -w | grep jpg | convert (...)
[22:21] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, yep
[22:21] <phong_> any help?
[22:21] <Counterspell> brontosaurusrex, nope
[22:21] <AIBBB> if you'd be forced not to use ubuntu, what distro would be most suitable for the average consumer
[22:21] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, to no avail
[22:21] <austin_work> hwilde: accessing over putty, so the hostname is, e.g., windows1.local, not 192.168.1.105
[22:21] <kyle6513> phong_, sec
[22:21] <phong_> ok
[22:21] <ghost_> oh, thats xfree86, great -.-
[22:22] <hwilde> austin_work, that is a setting (to resolve the IP to dns names) fyi

[22:22] <kaolbrec> AIBBB: kubuntu? :P
[22:22] <AIBBB> lol
[22:22] <austin_work> hwilde: yaeh, figured there was, now that I found that problem. know it off hand?
[22:22] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: "sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf && sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[22:22] <ob3r0n> fuck
[22:22] <ob3r0n> toader, ls -1 | grep jpg | convert (...)
[22:22] <kinja-sheep> ob3r0n: Language, please.
[22:22] <toader> ob3r0n: i want to keep each file name
[22:22] <ob3r0n> like this
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> microhaxo:  exaztly what did you edit in the fstab? and how are you trying to  access it now?
[22:22] <mkanyicy> AIBBB, the one that the enforcer is recommending to the enforcee

[22:23] <toader> ob3r0n: for example 01.jpg to 01.pdf
[22:23] <austin_work> hwilde: thanks :-)
[22:23] <hwilde> toader, man rename
[22:23] <mkanyicy> kri1987, ping
[22:23] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, files still empty
[22:24] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: You could try the support in #xorg
[22:24] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, is it in freenode?
[22:24] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: Yes.
[22:25] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, thanks
[22:25] <toader> hwilde: i need to covert it to the same name but with .pdf extension
[22:25] <caty> I JUST LOSED THE GAME :'(
[22:25] <toader> for example covert 01.jpg to 01.pdf
[22:26] <hwilde> toader, convert *.jpg test.jpg     it will enumerate test-0.jpg test-1.jpg test-2.jpg etc
[22:26] <hwilde> toader, err pdf... whatever you know what i mean

[22:28] <duckx0r> can anyone tell me what the executable is to launch the GUI for GConf?
[22:28] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, it seems xorg is a little dead...
[22:28] <kinja-sheep> duckx0r: ALT+F2 --> gconf-editor ?
[22:28] <Dr_Willis> duckx0r:  'gconf<tab>' shows some  possibilties :)
[22:28] <duckx0r> kinja-sheep, nope
[22:29] <duckx0r> Dr_Willis, I'm using kde 3
[22:29] <brontosaurusrex> hwilde, toader, right http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4537036&postcount=7
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> duckx0r:  so?
[22:29] <kyle6513> i thought gconf was for gnome?
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> kyle6513:  yep. :) unless we are all confused about what he wants
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> if thers an icon for it.. check the icon properties.
[22:29] <kyle6513> Dr_Willis, heh >.<
[22:29] <duckx0r> Dr_Willis, oh, i thought you meant from the run dialog. thanks
[22:29] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: You could try killing Xorg, then "Xorg -configure" in TTY. It'll probe for devices and write an xorg.conf -- From that, do "sudo updatedb && locate xorg"
[22:30]  * Dr_Willis is not sure the TAB key works in the run dialogs
[22:30] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, how do i kill xorg lol
[22:30] <duckx0r> kinja-sheep, looks like you were right. I just didn't have gconf-editor installed. Thanks
[22:30] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: You would get disconnected. :(
[22:31] <kinja-sheep> duckx0r: No problem.
[22:31] <kinja-sheep> !tty | kyle6513
[22:31] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, >.<
[22:31] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: Remember -- CTRL + ALT + F7 -- is GUI.
[22:31] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, yeah i know about them, just have no idea how to kill xorg xD
[22:31] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: Practice it now.  CTRL + ALT + F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6 -- All temrinals.
[22:32] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, haha yeh i know :P
[22:32] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: Oh alright. "sudo service gdm stop" should do the trick. "sudo killall xorg" maybe.
[22:32] <maritz> Hi. I've attached a usb2.0 stick (8gb kingston) to my pc and it is incredibly slow when transferring large files. (according to a few ls checks it's at below 1mb/s now)
[22:32] <maritz> I've googled around and there seem to be a tonne of other users with such problems. However they mostly have ~4mb/s, which is a bit more than I'm seeing. And all the "solutions" I found, didn't help so far. Any ideas?
[22:32] <duckx0r> kyle6513, ctrl-alt-backspace might work depending on how your system is setup
[22:32] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, i think ill go with killall
[22:32] <kyle6513> WISH ME LUCK!
[22:32] <duckx0r> luck
[22:32] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: Stopping GDM should do more than enough. You can kill xserver-xorg too. Just in case. Good luck.
[22:33] <Dr_Willis> maritz:  ive noticed that also. not really looked into a fix.
[22:33] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, one question, how do i get back into x? start x?
[22:33] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: "sudo service gdm start"
[22:33] <bluberryoam> hey how do you enter special charachters in emacs?
[22:33]  * kyle6513 facepalms self
[22:34] <maritz> Dr_Willis: I'm trying to copy ~4GB to the stick... at the current rate and apparent decline of speed, it's gonna finish... never. :(
[22:34] <Dr_Willis> maritz:  yep - ive noticed it being very slow.
[22:34] <Dr_Willis> maritz:  also aseems to depend on which of my USB ports i use. I got some exctra usb add on cards.
[22:34] <bluberryoam> hey how do you enter special charachters in emacs?
[22:35] <maritz> I tried the 2 free ones, nothing... Also, it isn't a problem in windows. So, it's not a hardware problem.
[22:36] <Darkedge> Can someone make a quick script to check for “ShowOnlyIn=GNOME” in /usr/share/applications/ and replace it with "", Thanks.
[22:36] <maritz> i'm gonna try reformatting it to ext2 now :D
[22:36] <microhaxo> Right, i fixed fstab, but now grub boot loader shows up and asks me to pick what i want to boot. every time, How do i disable that?
[22:36]  * kinja-sheep gives channel operator status to Dr_Willis 
[22:37] <Dr_Willis> Huh?
[22:37] <Darkedge> Dr_Willis: me?
[22:37] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, er, note to self, write down commands so you dont have to come back like an idiot and ask for them again
[22:37] <microhaxo> when i boot it no longer auto boots, it goes to grub boot menu. How do i make it auto boot.
[22:37] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: Oh no. :(
[22:37] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, haha so what did i need to tell the terminal again?
[22:37] <Dr_Willis> Darkedge:  actually i recall a 'gres' command/script for rep,aceing text in batches of files.. proberly other ways to do it as well
[22:38] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513: "Xorg -configure" -- Pretty much. Then come back.
[22:38] <MK13> how can you revoke the "always allow access to keyring" permission from certain applications?
[22:38] <roxlu_> hi, I've got ubuntu server installed and I'm wondering how I can install a printer?
[22:38] <roxlu_> is there a command line tool available?
[22:38] <kinja-sheep> !cups | roxlu_
[22:38] <kyle6513> kinja-sheep, okay lol, thanks
[22:38] <Dr_Willis> roxlu_:  cups has a web based admin feature
[22:39] <Dr_Willis> roxlu_:  and command line tools
[22:39] <roxlu_> thanks a lot!
[22:39]  * kyle6513 has a notepad for commands now
[22:40] <Guest34254> ok, if anyone else wanna know: just use xrandr -o inverted instead of xrandr -y ^^ seems to be broken :p
[22:40] <blight_> hi
[22:40] <testz> hiiii
[22:40] <jack5463> hi
[22:40] <blight_> are there different repositories like stable/testing/unstable ?
[22:40] <testz> yes
[22:40] <blight_> do they have codenames?
[22:40] <testz> yes
[22:40] <blight_> or does each release have all 3
[22:41] <testz> no
[22:41] <blight_> or how does it work?
[22:41] <unop> Darkedge,  sed -i 's/ShowOnlyIn=GNOME//g' /usr/share/applications/*
[22:41] <testz> !repositories
[22:41] <blight_> ok, i guess this is what i need to read to make a decision if i want to switch to another branch
[22:41] <testz> yes
[22:41] <blight_> cause i want more recent software on my system
[22:41] <blakkheim> blight_: then ubuntu isn't for you
[22:41] <blight_> yeah
[22:42] <blight_> i would use gentoo if KDE didnt take 1 day to build
[22:42] <goldie> Hello,
[22:42] <Dr_Willis> blight_:  gee theres 100000's of packages... and 1000's of PPA repos and other repos...
[22:42] <blakkheim> blight_: arch/debian sid maybe?
[22:42] <goldie> does anyone know how to get Ubuntu to run on a Ma
[22:42] <goldie> Mac
[22:42] <blakkheim> goldie: the same way as any other computer
[22:42] <blight_> i dont know
[22:42] <testz> goldie: have you searched on google?
[22:42] <Dr_Willis> goldie:  ppc or newer mac?
[22:42] <goldie> nah
[22:42] <Dr_Willis> !mac
[22:42] <microhaxo> How do i edit grub in 9.10 ????
[22:42] <blight_> i grew lazy of messing around with my system
[22:42] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | microhaxo
[22:42] <blight_> thats why i switched from gentoo to ubuntu
[22:42] <goldie> New Leadopard Mactel
[22:42] <MK13> how can i revoke a program's ability to automatically access my keyring when authenticating the wlan ?
[22:42] <blakkheim> blight_: lol
[22:43] <blight_> whats so funny?
[22:43] <realityiswhere> goldie: which model?
[22:43] <blakkheim> blight_: switching from gentoo to ubuntu
[22:43] <kyle6513_> kinja-sheep, Threw the same error at me :/ think i have to kill xorg?
[22:43] <blight_> yeah, well, like i said, lazyness - doesnt that explain it?
[22:43] <goldie> You can not get ubuntu to run alongside Mac like you can Win7 in bootcamp
[22:43] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513_: I thought you were in TTY when you did that.
[22:43] <blakkheim> blight_: guess so
[22:43] <goldie> I have a macbook.
[22:43] <blakkheim> goldie: yes you can
[22:43] <realityiswhere> goldie: which model... macbook 5,5?
[22:43] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513_: Yeah. Make sure Xorg or xserver-xorg is not running.
[22:43] <testz> goldie: have you searched on google?
[22:43] <goldie> yez
[22:43] <blight_> with gentoo when something doesnt build you gotta mess around, and it happens from time to time, especially when you start mixing stable with unstable packages
[22:43] <kyle6513_> kinja-sheep, TTY? why? it throws me into a console thingy anyway
[22:44] <Darkedge> unop: Sorry, I kinda wanted it to be replaced with nothing..
[22:44] <blight_> so it's always a fight against the breakage
[22:44] <blakkheim> blight_: i run gentoo on my desktop, i know. but i like fixing things
[22:44] <testz> blight_: yeah, so don't waste your time, energy, or harm the environment and use a binary based distro
[22:44] <kyle6513_> kinja-sheep, so, sudo killall Xorg && sudo killall xserver-xorg?
[22:44] <blight_> and sometimes i couldn't update for a few weeks because of conflicts introduced by mixing stable with unstable packages etc
[22:44] <unop> Darkedge, and that's what the command does
[22:44] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513_: Something like that. Use tab to autocomplete.
[22:44] <Dr_Willis> i gave up on gentoo a few years back
[22:44] <kyle6513_> kinja-sheep, alright, so do i stop gdm then do that? I dont think i need to go into a TTY
[22:44] <goldie> Is there a better Linux package then Ubuntu
[22:45] <blight_> blakkheim: yeah it can be fun, but i rather invest the time in other stuff like coding
[22:45] <duffydack> great my radeon 4650HD now supported, except games (nexuiz) are like 1 fps
[22:45] <unop> kyle6513_,  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop
[22:45] <goldie> I am not that impresssed by Karmic Kola
[22:45] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513_: Yes.
[22:45] <kyle6513_> goldie, depends on what you want
[22:45] <blight_> testz: ;)
[22:45] <realityiswhere> goldie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook
[22:45] <Dr_Willis> goldie:  thers 100's of Linux distros out - depends on yoru needs
[22:45] <Darkedge> unop: Well I looked in one of the .desktop files, and its been replaced with "" not a black space =/
[22:45] <kyle6513_> kinja-sheep, do i need to go into a TTY??
[22:45] <goldie> It seem like ubuntu would be the best because they have more bread behind there product then anybody else
[22:45] <kyle6513_> goldie, what are your needs?
[22:45] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513_: Yes. If you kill Xorg, you'll fall back to TTY. So you might as well shut down gdm properly.
[22:46] <goldie> Easy for one.. I am just looking for a distro to do webdesign programming.
[22:46] <kyle6513_> kinja-sheep, hm, so, how would i do this?
[22:46] <unop> Darkedge, was   ShowOnlyIn=GNOME   originally quoted in the file??
[22:46] <kyle6513_> kinja-sheep, jump to a TTY and then perform all of this?
[22:46] <microhaxo> When i add this: tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0 to my fstab i am unable to mount root
[22:46] <roxlu_> how do I install my printer from the terminal ? (I don't have x-windows)
[22:46] <testz> goldie: then just use a distro that you won't have to mess around with a lot
[22:46] <mkanyicy> goldie, that can be arranged on ubuntu as well
[22:46] <Darkedge> unop: I don't think so.
[22:46] <Dr_Willis> microhaxo:  why did you alter it in the first place?
[22:46] <kinja-sheep> kyle6513_: Go in TTY1, "sudo service gdm stop" -- Kill any Xorg / xserver-xorg -- Then run the "Xorg -configure"

[23:00] <Dr_Willis> Ulises:  or use sudo as needed.
[23:00] <unop> Dr_Willis, i bet you, he's wanting to creating something in /etc/ now
[23:00] <kyle6513> _dreamy, then use that link, combined with the data files in your bought copy and together, they can play the game ;D

[23:05] <elhoir|wrk> hi all, just a partitioning question --- i have Windows 7 splitted in 2 partitions, the 1st one has just the boot manager, and the 2nd one contains the OS itself.... Will Ubuntu loader (grub) support it?
[23:05] <cached> yup
[23:06] <cached> it will give you both bootloader
[23:06] <cached> the linux grub then the win 7 loader
[23:06] <cached> but thats only if u have more than 1 ver of windows i think
[23:06] <elhoir|wrk> i havent
[23:06] <cached> make sure you defrag 1st ^^
[23:07] <mkanyicy> elhoir|wrk, havent what?
[23:07] <elhoir|wrk> mkanyicy: "more than 1 ver of windows"
[23:07] <elhoir|wrk> i only have Windows 7 installed currently
[23:07] <ActionParsnip__> wow not heard of defrag in a while, oh memories
[23:07] <cached> lol
[23:07] <wolter> can I change the Ubuntu One directory to somewhere else than my home dir?
[23:07] <cached> whats linux equiv?
[23:08] <mkanyicy> cached, defrag before partition resize on ubuntu is now almost old news
[23:08] <elhoir|wrk> cached: so you think it should work fine
[23:08] <cached> then you will get the linux grub at start
[23:09] <cached> yes, I have vista/7/xp/ubunut and centos
[23:09] <elhoir|wrk> ok i will give it a try
[23:09] <ActionParsnip__> cached: ext3/4 don't need defragging as the journal helps with access
[23:09] <FloodBot3> !netsplit
[23:09] <elhoir|wrk> many thanks :)
[23:09] <elhoir|wrk> wtf
[23:10] <goose> How can I identify an RSA key to use, when doing Places > Connect to Server
[23:10] <ActionParsnip__> cached: you can defrag ext2 so you can convert from ext3 to ext2, defrag then convert back but you will gain nearly nothing
[23:10] <TheMozart> if I load 9.04 liveCD, can I create a bootable Ubuntu on my 1GB USB Stick?
[23:10] <kyle6513> TheMozart, 1gb is a tad small
[23:10] <mkanyicy> goose, ssh will do that for you
[23:10] <ActionParsnip__> TheMozart: sure, under system there is an option top create a usb boot disk
[23:10] <TheMozart> kyle6513: so its not possible?
[23:11] <kyle6513> TheMozart, gimme a second
[23:11] <mkanyicy> goose, why do you want to know your public key before you connect?
[23:11] <goose> mkanyicy: I know, I've created bash aliases for doing that with SSH, but I need to do it with GUI SCP.
[23:11] <TheMozart> ActionParsnip__: is 1GB large enough to get it booting and working?
[23:11] <Dr_Willis> wolter:  check in #ubuntuone im not sure its possible
[23:11] <jongbergs> !ssh
[23:11] <goose> mkanyicy: because I have 14 RSA keys
[23:11] <blakkheim> goose: why do you need a gui for scp
[23:11] <TheMozart> kyle6513: ok
[23:11] <goose> I need to identify which one to use
[23:11] <goose> blakkheim: because gedit > vi
[23:11] <mkanyicy> goose, why do you have 14 keys?
[23:12] <kyle6513> woah what the

[23:12] <onetinsoldier> it's a netsplit join
[23:12] <kyle6513> yeah i see that
[23:12] <goose> mkanyicy: because I have 14 different servers I regularly SSH into. Do you know how I can identify an RSA key with GUI SCP, or are you just questioning me?

[23:13] <Topy44> any ideas?
[23:13] <triple_xxx> opps /ignore
[23:13] <Topy44> its there in a standard UNR installation
[23:13] <goose> blakkheim: gedit is a lot nicer/easier/prettier to use than vi, and I like to have the GUI SCP capabilities, click and drag is a nice convenience.
[23:13] <domi007> i got a nice problem for you: i want to remote desktop from my windows mobile pda to my ubuntu desktop using a usb cable...i already installed xrdp, so the service is up and running, but can't find a way to connect via usb cable....
[23:13] <mkanyicy> goog1jh, why don't use the same public key to all of them
[23:13] <blakkheim> goose: scp -i /path/id_rsa
[23:13] <jongbergs> hi, what messaging command allows you to talk to another computer in a local network just like what net send does for windows?
[23:13] <cached> I found that when I tried to Upgrade ubuntu from 9.04 to 9.10 in my vbox, that it would only give me a command line, wouldn't run the gui
[23:13] <cached> had to dl the 386 iso
[23:13] <goose> blakkheim: that works for SSH, not GUI SCP. (Places > Connect to Server)
[23:14] <elhoir|wrk> cached: will it run using the alternate cd? (i dont know why, but the normal cd doesnt work in my new pc (SATA related?))
[23:14] <ae86-drifter> blakkheim, u need to use smbclient -something then u can use the "net send" type feature
[23:14] <cached> nice, scite is pretty much just like npp
[23:14] <Iowan> jongbergs: Check man wall
[23:14] <onetinsoldier> jongbergs: you might want to look at 'talk'

[23:16] <ActionParsnip__> oh via usb

[23:18] <microhaxo> Should i be worried about this "trim" stuff?
[23:18] <goose> mkanyicy: sounds like a Mozilla application? Ubuntu has a perfectly usable GUI SSH tool built into it, I just need to know how to identify an RSA key to use with it
[23:18] <Topy44> kyle: i love the tabbed browsing and icon-only switcher, i kinda like the launcher but its buggy as hell, and i just wish they would get their act together
[23:18] <ActionParsnip__> domi007: so where is the issue?
[23:18] <mkanyicy> goose, but I dont really see the need to use 14 public keys if you are connecting to 14 servers, what happens if you tripple that to about 50 servers, you would want 50 keys? that's ridiculous
[23:18] <allstar> hey whats up :) need some help with SSH, i can connect to it localy but unable to connect to it externaly.. and help would be appriciated :)
[23:18] <triple_xxx> Topy44: there are some good netbook remixes ,but what netbook do you own???
[23:18] <blakkheim> goose: prettier  isn't always better. the commandline has an option for exactly what you want, i don't use many GUI programs so i don't know of any that do what you need
[23:18] <cached> Dr_Willis: did you get that?
[23:18] <ae86-drifter> does anyone know where to get the ATI BETA drivers from>?>?
[23:18] <domi007> action: i would like to use remote desktop from my  pda to control my ubuntu pc
[23:18] <microhaxo> blakkheim: i've read a lot that the performance of the drive can go down if you dont regularly trim? How can this be done in linux?
[23:18] <Topy44> triple_xxx: first generation eee pc, so 701/4g
[23:18] <blakkheim> microhaxo: it can't be done at this time
[23:18] <kyle6513> Topy44, yeah i know what you mean, i suggest going to the usual ubuntu until the next ubuntu release, if it annoys you that much
[23:19] <Scunizi> allstar: do you have a static IP address on the machine you're trying to reach? have you port forwarded ssh's port to that machine?
[23:19] <microhaxo> So does performance degrade?
[23:19] <Dr_Willis> cached:  get what? :)
[23:19] <pukeko> allstar:pm me
[23:19] <ae86-drifter> domi007, did u enable the RDP
[23:19] <blakkheim> microhaxo: hasn't for me, at all
[23:19] <microhaxo> k
[23:19] <domi007> i got xrdp installed
[23:19] <goose> mkanyicy: as opposed to using one key for all of them? seems like a major security fault to me
[23:19] <cached> No proprietary drivers installed
[23:19] <domi007> and it works
[23:19] <microhaxo> blakkheimL did you do the noatime fix?
[23:19] <kyle6513> Topy44, im running an eeepc 1000H right now and the only problem i have is some things go off screen
[23:19] <allstar> no static , but yes i port forwarded in my router
[23:19] <ae86-drifter> domi007, whats the problem then
[23:19] <microhaxo> *-L
[23:19] <Dr_Willis> cached:  if the hardware drivers tool dont detect it -it could be that card is not supported by the repo versions. you can try the nvidia.run driver installer.
[23:19] <Topy44> and before anyone recommends using eeebuntu or easypeasy or whatever... there is absolutely no reason to use those instead of regular UNR imho
[23:19] <Topy44> as all the bugs and annoyances are present
[23:19] <Scunizi> allstar: you sure that the port forward is going to the right IP address?
[23:20] <mkanyicy> goose, how? it's a PUBLIC key
[23:20] <allstar> yeah
[23:20] <blakkheim> Topy44: there is no reason to use UNR over ubuntu minimal imho
[23:20] <allstar> my nix box is .101
[23:20] <triple_xxx> Topy44: then asus eee pc Easy Peasy was built for that and jolicloud also claims to be working on most netbooks right out the box
[23:20] <domi007> ae86: I don't know how to reach the laptop, the WM client asks for an ip address
[23:20] <cached> must be the vbox
[23:20] <allstar> port 22
[23:20] <domi007> and i tried the ip address from ifconfig
[23:20] <Scunizi> allstar: natively installed or in a VM?
[23:20] <goose> mkanyicy: if someone breaks it, they have access to all of your servers, rather than just one
[23:20] <ActionParsnip__> domi007: ok thats a little clearer than "connection" which is all you said earlier
[23:20] <Panzerboy> ehlo
[23:20] <domi007> action: my bad..sorry
[23:20] <mkanyicy> goose, nope
[23:20] <Topy44> i did manage to change the most annoying thing about the unr launcher, which is the ridiculously high icon distance
[23:20] <triple_xxx> Topy44: depends on screen size also you can get ubuntu with moblin
[23:20] <ActionParsnip__> domi007: not something I use, sorry
[23:20] <kyle6513> Topy44, never looked at them, didnt really see a reason since everything would be downloadable anyway, and since my eeepc worked straight out of the box, i didnt have to do anything
[23:21] <mkanyicy> goose, he would need to have the private key as well
[23:21] <domi007> action: thanks anyway
[23:21] <Topy44> yeah, no major surgery to get mine to work either, most things work fine ootb
[23:21] <domi007> i tried to bridge the usb network interface to a tap interface, which points to localhost
[23:21] <forceflow> I got my asus1005ha working perfectly with UNR too
[23:21] <jongbergs> Iowan: wall broadcast messages to all users on the same system
[23:21] <chun1> Hi, is there any way to switch user using a command? [actually log in to the said user's workspace, so not just su]
[23:21] <Topy44> its all just customizing stuff - the main reason i like UNR is because the screen is TINY (6.4" 800x480) and the touchpad is useless
[23:21] <domi007> but still, my pad always says: can't connect
[23:22] <Dr_Willis> UNR works well on my AAO
[23:22] <kyle6513> Topy44, I'm sure you would be able to get the tabbed window manager with the normal ubuntu installation with a bit of hacking
[23:22] <ae86-drifter> domi007, did you goto internet > then remote desktop viewer? normally it will display the name of the PC there automatically without having to type in the address, it should scann for open ports 5900
[23:22] <mkanyicy> goose, i mean , thats why ssh is called ssh, 100 keys for 100 servers is not worth it
[23:22] <forceflow> Topy44: I am using default gnome-interface though
[23:22] <kyle6513> Topy44, i have a 10" :D
[23:22] <triple_xxx> Topy44: if its screen resolution Moblin would be the way to go
[23:22] <mkanyicy> goose, unless you are working for millitary
[23:22] <domi007> i am using a windows mobile pda, u r talkin about something completely different
[23:22] <Topy44> kyle: there is no reason not to use the tabbed window mode of UNR without the launcher.
[23:22] <jongbergs> onetinsoldier: yes, does it allow you to talk to other user on another computer in the network?
[23:23] <kyle6513> Topy44, ah ok
[23:23] <onetinsoldier> jongbergs: pretty sure that's what it's designed to do
[23:23] <Nafri_>  hello, i'm about to install kubuntu 9.10, I've 64bit processor. Which version should i install 32bit or 64bit? I was wondering if there are proper drivers/applications available for 64bit
[23:23] <mkanyicy> goose, anyway good luck
[23:23] <blakkheim> Nafri_: how much ram do you have
[23:23] <ae86-drifter> domi007, okay... sorry, did u try using the web browser based UI?
[23:23] <onetinsoldier> jongbergs: i
[23:23] <onetinsoldier> jongbergs: i've used it before, many years ago though
[23:23] <domi007> web browser based ui...what is that?
[23:23] <cached> firefox
[23:23] <Topy44> other then that i like the unr launcher, but they messed up the last version. its buggy, and... why did they remove the incredibly useful right sidebar, and didnt even use the space for anything else?!
[23:23] <domi007> anyway, if it runs on the pc side then it is not good for me
[23:23] <Topy44> just put more distance between icons
[23:24] <ActionParsnip__> ae86-drifter: a connection to the ubuntu system via the usb to the PDA is what is required. I dont use PDA so am unsure if this can be done personally
[23:24] <Topy44> wasting more space
[23:24] <domi007> because i can't reah the pc
[23:24] <ae86-drifter> domi007, type the IP of the rdp server with :5900 into the browser
[23:24] <onetinsoldier> jongbergs: also look at 'ytalk'
[23:24] <Topy44> i am considering downgrading to jaunty
[23:24] <kyle6513> Topy44, I have to admit, the idea is good, execution, not so much
[23:24] <ActionParsnip__> Topy44: added the UNR ppa?
[23:24] <L3dPlatedLinux> I am looking for a video editor to take a .mov file and strip the audio from it and and a mp3 or what ever I would like.
[23:25] <Topy44> ActionParsnip__: no, are there any worthy changes?
[23:25] <blakkheim> L3dPlatedLinux: ffmpeg can rip the audio, so can mplayer
[23:25] <domi007> i;ll try it
[23:25] <L3dPlatedLinux> thanks
[23:25] <onetinsoldier> jongbergs: also look at ytalk, xtalk, and utalk
[23:25] <ActionParsnip__> Topy44: no idea, i just know it exists
[23:25] <ae86-drifter> domi007, hmm usb connection? so does the PDA get an IP address on the same subnet etc as the server?
[23:25] <ActionParsnip__> Topy44: https://launchpad.net/~netbook-remix-team/+archive/ppa
[23:25] <domi007> i am not sure about that stuff...preferably yes
[23:26] <domi007> but the pda says: cannot connect...so perhaps it didn't get an ip address
[23:26] <domi007> however activesync says on the pda: connected
[23:26] <Topy44> here is another annoying detail: notices (like the usual "your battery is fucked" message on every boot) go away when moving the cursor over them, but reappear when moving it away again, making it impossible to click them away!
[23:26] <Topy44> its just a ridiculous bug
[23:26] <LogicFan> microhaxo, TRIM support is crucial to your SSD's performance at the moment.  your hdd needs the firmware to support it and the OS needs to support it.  as far as I'm aware, the kernel in 9.10 supports it, but the OS has yet to implement it.  You can however find a utility and run it each time at startup
[23:27] <dj-ice> what is a good chat Messenger
[23:27] <blakkheim> dj-ice: finch
[23:27] <domi007> dj-ice: pidgin
[23:27] <ActionParsnip__> domi007: seems to be a feature in microsofts activesync which appears to be windows only
[23:27] <microhaxo> LogicFan, my drive supports Trim
[23:27] <ae86-drifter> domi007, i dont really know how that "activesync" stuff works
[23:27] <ae86-drifter> sorry
[23:27] <ActionParsnip__> Topy44: they may have ironed it out in the new version
[23:27] <dj-ice> im new 2 linux
[23:27] <domi007> okay, hang on
[23:27] <Topy44> where does the gnome panel save its applet settings?
[23:27] <microhaxo> LogicFan: what utility works best?
[23:27] <Topy44> i want to find that stupid white dot
[23:28] <cwillu> Topy44, gconf-editor is a front end to the tree of xml files;  applet settings are stored under apps | panel
[23:28] <ActionParsnip__> domi007: i suggest you use the wireless or bluetooth
[23:28] <Topy44> ok, thx
[23:28] <domi007> so activesync does 2 things: shares the pc's internet conenction with the pda and synchronizes
[23:28] <kyle6513> Topy44, hehe, maybe its something in the tray not starting properly
[23:28] <domi007> my wifi card is dead and i don't have bluetooth :S
[23:28] <ae86-drifter> domi007, see this thread, it will explain how to get an IP address over ActiveSync, you need to use "VxUtil" http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?ForumId=6&TopicId=2556
[23:28] <Topy44> kyle6513: but its present on all screenshots of karmic UNR i can find, so its definately a bug
[23:29] <ActionParsnip__> domi007: activesync can give addresses to the device on usb and the systm to make a small lan which you can connect stuff over with (according to that page)
[23:29] <LogicFan> microhaxo, there is a patch for hdparam called wiper.sh that i am ware of.  however, do not take my advice as gospel.  research your particular drive's support for ubuntu and the trim command.  chances are there is info on the company website regard support
[23:29] <kyle6513> Topy44, well yeah just ignore it till the next release, unless theres a beta out for lucid nbr
[23:29] <microhaxo> ok thanks.
[23:29] <ActionParsnip__> domi007: i use neither PDA nor remote desktop (too slow) so am not much help here outside of websearches
[23:30] <domi007> hold on, i got an idea, i will try it..
[23:30] <Topy44> hm, actually, i just realized, i think its the "notification area applet"
[23:30] <dj-ice> what are some good chat clien to run yahoo and msn
[23:30] <ActionParsnip__> domi007: go crazy
[23:30] <Topy44> ah, no, it isnt, thats the tray
[23:30] <Dr_Willis> !im
[23:30] <ae86-drifter> domi007, the first step would be to try pinging the program outside of this activesync software, but like ActionParsnip__ i dont know much about this either
[23:30] <WinXP> What's the best distro or software for curing windows viruses,trojans,worms,spywares and malwares?
[23:30] <kyle6513> Topy44, oh, whatcha know i was right :P
[23:30] <ae86-drifter> pinging the PDA* i mean
[23:30] <kyle6513> Topy44, oh, nevermind xD
[23:30] <LogicFan> microhaxo, the TRIM is really important if you don't want your SSD performance to degrade over time.  This is just the nature of the SSD technology at the moment.  The next generation is going to improve this enormously
[23:31] <ActionParsnip__> dj-ice: pidgin can do both. gyachi can do voice and cam in linux
[23:31] <ActionParsnip__> ae86-drifter: what IP though?
[23:31] <ae86-drifter> ActionParsnip__, the IP of the PDA
[23:31] <ae86-drifter> ActionParsnip__, you can use VxUtil to find it
[23:31] <dj-ice> how do i install
[23:31] <domi007> okay, it seems that the ip address i see with ifconfig for the usb network interface
[23:31] <dj-ice> im sorry im new
[23:31] <ActionParsnip__> WinXP: all will be equal, there is no universally best software solution for anything
[23:31] <domi007> is the ip address of the pc side
[23:31] <uglybetty> кто тут?
[23:32] <ActionParsnip__> dj-ice: sudo apt-get install pidgin
[23:32] <ActionParsnip__> !info pidgin
[23:32] <domi007> now i have to figure out, how to reach that from the pda
[23:32] <domi007> tring pinging
[23:32] <mery> usa BuDuScRiPt [ http://digilander.libero.it/udasoft/Software/Linux/buduscript ]
[23:32] <mery> Version 3.1.68
[23:32] <mery> By  U D A ' S o f t w a r e
[23:32] <TheMozart> im running Ubuntu 9.04 from USB stick.. but when I type "sudo apt-get install xchat" it says it cannot be found. why?
[23:32] <ae86-drifter> domi007, does it ping?
[23:33] <kyle6513> TheMozart, try sudo apt-get update first
[23:33] <dj-ice> im on ubuntu .9.10
[23:33] <ActionParsnip__> TheMozart: try: sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome
[23:33] <TheMozart> kyle6513: I did. but it still cant find xchat
[23:33] <TheMozart> ActionParsnip__: ok
[23:33] <domi007> nope, ping from pda to pc says request timed out
[23:33] <kyle6513> TheMozart, try x-chat
[23:33] <kinja-sheep> TheMozart: Pidgin should be installed. It is part of ubuntu-desktop metapackage
[23:33] <ae86-drifter> domi007, okay, well you may want to set up an IP bridge
[23:33] <kyle6513> TheMozart, nevermind that wont work
[23:33] <ActionParsnip__> domi007: you could use nmap to find all active IPs. I dont think you will get far due to microsoft's closed mindedness
[23:34] <TheMozart> sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome <-- worked. thanks ActionParsnip__
[23:34] <TheMozart> kinja-sheep: yes but I like xchat :)
[23:34] <LogicFan> kinja-sheep, i thought that wasn't the case any longer?  i thought pidgin was replaced with empathy?
[23:34] <domi007> i am thinking about
[23:34] <kinja-sheep> TheMozart: XChat > xchat-gnome :)
[23:34] <domi007> somehow i have to give
[23:34] <kinja-sheep> LogicFan: He is using 9.04 ;)
[23:34] <domi007> an ip to the pda with
[23:34] <LogicFan> kinja-sheep, gracie
[23:34] <domi007> perhaps a dhcp server
[23:35] <ae86-drifter> domi007, good luck, some hacking of the PDA may be involved in that
[23:35] <ActionParsnip__> TheMozart: xchat-gnome is a stripped version of the original XChat with less features and only the most common settings included
[23:35] <TheMozart> ActionParsnip__: im in xchat now, cheers
[23:35] <domi007> okay
[23:35] <domi007> i will try
[23:35] <ActionParsnip__> kinja-sheep: depends if you only need the core stuff
[23:35] <domi007> and report later
[23:35] <domi007> :)
[23:35] <TheMozart> ActionParsnip__: yeah I noticed.. looks basic
[23:35] <mAriachi> hi there i have sort of an issue with xubuntu, can anyone help?
[23:35] <ActionParsnip__> TheMozart: its the kiss principle :D
[23:36] <TheMozart> how can I tell how much free space I got left on my 1GB USB stick?
[23:36] <TheMozart> ActionParsnip__: yeah lol
[23:36] <ActionParsnip__> !ask | mAriachi
[23:36] <Topy44> i actually quite like xchat-gnome for my netbook, its very light and compact
[23:36] <mAriachi> TheMozart: left click on the usb on desktop and properties
[23:36] <dj-ice_> what is a good chat clien that i can ues 4 yahoo im sorry im new 2 linux
[23:36] <Topy44> good for small screens
[23:36] <kyle6513> lol...
[23:36] <ActionParsnip__> dj-ice_: gyachi but its not in the standard repos
[23:36] <ActionParsnip__> !yahoo
[23:36] <TheMozart> mAriachi: no, im runnuing USB from the 1GB stick
[23:36] <ActionParsnip__> not helpful
[23:36] <kyle6513> Topy44, xchat-gnome is the same as xchat in the terms of using screen space is it not?
[23:37] <TheMozart> mAriachi: no, im runnuing Ubuntu from the 1GB stick
[23:37] <Topy44> kyle6513: no, it has the hidden userlist which afaik is not in xchat regular
[23:37] <TheMozart> how I check free space?
[23:37] <Dr_Willis> kyle6513:  about the same.  You can always turn off the sidebar/nick list  in xchat
[23:37] <kyle6513> Topy44, ah okay
[23:37] <ActionParsnip__> TheMozart: df -h
[23:37] <Dr_Willis> nicklist in xchat is resizeable
[23:37] <kyle6513> Dr_Willis, heh i see
[23:37] <TheMozart> ActionParsnip__: cheers
[23:37] <mAriachi> hi there, have an issue with xubuntu on my laptop, speakers wont stop playing when i plug in my headphones or other stuff, can anyone help?
[23:37] <Topy44> i used to use xchat regular on my (windows) desktop, i changed to quassel now, and i absolutely love it
[23:37] <jiohdi> anyone know how to get a system monitor on the panel of UNR?
[23:37] <ActionParsnip__> i use pidgin and always will
[23:38] <Topy44> Dr_Willis: in xchat_gnome there is a button that displays it, its hidden otherwise
[23:38] <Topy44> jiohdi: right click on an empty part of the panel, "add to panel", select the system monitor
[23:38] <Dr_Willis> Topy44:  most people seemn to HATE xchat-gnome
[23:38] <Topy44> Dr_Willis: yeah, dunno why
[23:38] <TheMozart> ActionParsnip__: some bug in that command it seems.. it says I have 3.3GB on it.. but its only 1GB USB stick
[23:38] <mAriachi> ActionParsnip__: Pidgin is cool, but still sucks on video conferencing
[23:38] <mAriachi> hi there, have an issue with xubuntu on my laptop, speakers wont stop playing when i plug in my headphones or other stuff, can anyone help?
[23:38] <TheMozart> ActionParsnip__: no my bad, thats the CDROM :)
[23:39] <Dr_Willis> Topy44:  i dont see the point in it really. i will stick with xchat or weechat
[23:39] <TheMozart> ActionParsnip__: /dev/sdb1             951M  827M  125M
[23:39] <jiohdi> Topy44: UNR does not have a right click add to panel feature
[23:39] <mAriachi> hi there, have an issue with xubuntu on my laptop, speakers wont stop playing when i plug in my headphones or other stuff, can anyone help?
[23:39] <Topy44> Dr_Willis: not much point to it, agreed, no reason to switch, but it has details done nicely
[23:39] <Topy44> jiohdi: umh yeah it does, just did it like 2 minutes ago? :)
[23:39] <boss_mc> !repeat | mAriachi
[23:40] <Topy44> but you need to hit an actual "empty" spot, so not the area occupied by the window title applet thingy
[23:40] <jiohdi> Topy44: I can't find one... everything I click on says its part of whats already there and gives no such option
[23:40] <Dr_Willis> Mouse clicking skills :)
[23:40] <Dr_Willis> This is where the kde4 panel has a bit of an advantage
[23:40] <TheMozart> ActionParsnip__: will everything save on the 1GB stick?  or It will start a like a fresh new ubuntu everytime I reboot?
[23:40] <intangir> can i play a DVD on ubuntu 9.10 with mplayer?
[23:40] <Topy44> jiohdi: move the clock around a bit or so to create some empty space
[23:40] <intangir> when i try it lists dvd info and exits
[23:40] <mAriachi> hi there, have an issue with xubuntu on my laptop, speakers wont stop playing when i plug in my headphones or other stuff, can anyone help?
[23:40] <Topy44> believe me, its possible, i've done it :)
[23:41] <TheMozart> ActionParsnip__: how do I totally remove xchat now? I will use Pidgin, looks nicer
[23:41] <Dr_Willis> intangir:  should be possible. or try vlc.
[23:41] <Topy44> mAriachi: repeating your question doesnt actually help
[23:41] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  xchat is much better for IRC then pidgin
[23:41] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: better in what way?
[23:41] <mAriachi> Topy44: i know, just maybe somebody missed it, i wanna repeat it
[23:42] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  xchat is an IRC client first and only.. pidgin is not.. irc is just a added on feature.. so its lacking lots of features that xchat has
[23:42] <papna> I'm trying to use Tor on Hardy. I've installed "tor" and "polipo" through apt and they are running and I've installed Torbutton in Firefox. When I turn torbutton on, I'm not using tor.
[23:42] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: but i like the look of pidgin now :)
[23:42] <Topy44> ARGH i cant get that stupid white dot removed!
[23:42] <ron__> kinja-sheep thank for the info earlier i tried the sudo command you gave me for the xorg.conf but i don't think it did anything whent back to the command prompt?  the xorg.conf file is nowhere i have no clue where it is to edit it? could you give me some more info?
[23:42] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  a window full of text = irc. thats all the look irc needs. :)
[23:43] <Dr_Willis> papna:  tjeres some 'setting up tor in ubuntu' wiki pages  you may have missed a step
[23:43] <TheMozart> anyone tell me how I can totally remove xchat now?  is it "sudo apt-get remove -purge xchat-gnome" ?
[23:43] <mAriachi> hi there, have an issue with xubuntu on my laptop, speakers wont stop playing when i plug in my headphones or other stuff, can anyone help?
[23:43] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: :)
[23:43] <kinja-sheep> ron__: I gave you sudo because you didn't have permissions. As for xorg.conf, you might want to ask kyle6513 if he know the answer.
[23:43] <ron__> ok cool thanks :)
[23:44] <tzeentch73> Anybody know why syslog is reporting this during Ubuntu Server installation, during the grub install : "INFO: Menu item 'grub-installer' succeeded but requested to be left unconfigured."
[23:44] <TheMozart> Dr_Willis: is it "sudo apt-get remove -purge xchat-gnome" ?
[23:44] <tzeentch73> it won't go any further in the install...
[23:44] <micale_> HELLO MY NAME IS MATTHEW GORE AND I AM ADDICTED TO 'TROLLING' WEB SIGHTS ON THE 'INTERNET'. I LIKE TO POST SPAM COMMENTS ALL DAY LONG AND EVEN PLAY HOOKEY FROM MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES SO THAT I CAN POST MORE SPAM COMMENTS.

I HAVE HAD LAST WEEK'S HEADLINE EMBLAZONED ON MY WEENIS FOR OVER ONE WEEK AND IT IS NOT COMING OFF NO MATTER HOW HARD I SCRUB
[23:44] <Dr_Willis> TheMozart:  no idea on -purge , proberly not needed
[23:44] <TheMozart> micale_: hello MATTHEW :P
[23:44] <Kamokow> TheMozart: "sudo apt-get purge xchat-gnome"
[23:44] <TheMozart> Kamokow: ok
[23:45] <TheMozart> Kamokow: whats diff between remove and purge?
[23:45] <dj-ice_> i got 1 ty
[23:45] <Topy44> why cant i remove an applet within gconf-editor?
[23:45] <mAriachi> hi there, have an issue with xubuntu on my laptop, speakers wont stop playing when i plug in my headphones or other stuff, can anyone help?
[23:45] <Dr_Willis> !apt | TheMozart
[23:45] <Kamokow> TheMozart: purge also removes the settings for the program, while remove does not
[23:45] <TheMozart> Kamokow: so I can always use purge for everytrhing I want to remove?
[23:45] <papna> Dr_Willis, All the information I can find is for privoxy, which is out of date, I believe. Do you know if there is anything applicable for Hardy and current torbutton?

[23:46] <kinja-sheep> !ops | micale_
[23:46] <ActionParsnip__> TheMozart: remove removes the package, purge also removes the residual config which remove leaves
[23:46] <kyle6513> ron__, no i did not, sorry
[23:46] <wowhelpmeplz> hi
[23:46] <Dr_Willis> papna:  when i last used tor in beta testing . i installed privoxy and that worked with tor.
[23:46] <Kamokow> TheMozart: You could with most things. I wouldnt recommend it with /everything/ though. Just use your judgement as to whether or not you should also erase the settings.
[23:46] <TheMozart> ActionParsnip__: sounds good
[23:46] <wowhelpmeplz> hey guys, I'd like to make a simple flash application
[23:46] <mAriachi> wowhelpmeplz: just state your issue dude
[23:46] <TheMozart> Kamokow: ok thanks
[23:46] <ActionParsnip__> TheMozart: config in ~ will always remain no matter which is used
[23:46] <wowhelpmeplz> but I couldn't find a free alternative to adobe's flash
[23:46] <domi007> this is so stupid: i can ping from the pda, i can ping from the pc, but remote desktop still says "cannot connect"...i think i will need an alternate client
[23:46] <ron__> kyle6513 ok well thanks anyway:(
[23:46] <wowhelpmeplz> so is there any?
[23:46] <Dr_Willis> papna:  i did not even mess with torbutton or any other tor-extas just tor and privoxy is all i used
[23:46] <TheMozart> wow, ubuntu runs really well on my 1GB USB stick.. I just hope its saving everything.
[23:47] <ActionParsnip__> wowhelpmeplz: there isnt one as far as I know as flash is proprietary to adobe

[23:47] <wowhelpmeplz> mkay
[23:47] <TheMozart> i bet micale is surprised his still here lol
[23:47] <ActionParsnip__> wowhelpmeplz: so you will need to buy adobe's product to make it
[23:47] <mAriachi> TheMozart: how much space did you assign when you made the usb?
[23:47] <wowhelpmeplz> but I can't run it natively on ubuntu
[23:47] <microhaxo> how do i install the latest version of hdparm on ubuntu?
[23:47] <microhaxo> 9.27?
[23:47] <TheMozart> mAriachi: it suggested 128MB so I did that. is that right?
[23:47] <papna> Dr_Willis, torbutton is ostensibly one of the couple recommended ways to use Tor by the Tor project. Did you route all traffic through Tor?
[23:48] <tzeentch73> BTW, ActionParsnip__ , your tip yesterday night about bad memory seemed to have helped.  I removed a pair of sticks that were reporting errors.  Now the install stucks at the grub install without reporting any error, only that INFO in the syslog.
[23:48] <wowhelpmeplz> so there's absolutely no way to produce flash files in ubuntu at the moment?
[23:48] <ActionParsnip__> wowhelpmeplz: it may run via wine. check the appdb
[23:48] <mAriachi> TheMozart: well, it leaves you with 128MB of space for changes
[23:48] <ActionParsnip__> tzeentch73: sweetas duder :)
[23:48] <TheMozart> mAriachi: clever, good
[23:48] <ActionParsnip__> tzeentch73: memory should be 100% error free to prevent issues
[23:48] <mAriachi> TheMozart: You can assign alot more than that
[23:48] <TheMozart> mAriachi: and I assume I should try an update. cause I only have 127MB free
[23:48] <TheMozart> not try rather
[23:49] <mAriachi> TheMozart: This way, if you download changes that are more than 128MB, you're done for
[23:49] <tzeentch73> yeah, now the 4 gigs that left reported no errors.  I just hope I can find a way to continue the install from where I am now (Grub install)
[23:49] <TheMozart> mAriachi: yeah. but isnt my 9.04 still secure enough to use and browse the web etc?
[23:49] <j-3-r-g_> yo
[23:49] <mAriachi> TheMozart: do another Ubuntu Live Usb, and assign more space, if you like ubuntu, make the whole usb for ubuntu
[23:49] <TheMozart> mAriachi: even without any updates
[23:49] <j-3-r-g_> wats poppin everyone
[23:50] <ActionParsnip__> tzeentch73: you can boot to livecd and install grub
[23:50] <TheMozart> mAriachi: i cant, its only 1GB
[23:50] <tzeentch73> oh, really?  I need to check that out.  I burned the live desktop cd also.
[23:50] <mAriachi> TheMozart: yes, yes it is, but you cannot add stuff, like chrome or vlc, or restricted extras
[23:50] <kyle6513> cya later guys
[23:50] <TheMozart> mAriachi: why not?
[23:51] <jiohdi> Topy44: thanks, I found it :)
[23:51] <mAriachi> TheMozart: well, if your usb is 1gb, then surely you can assign more than 128 mb
[23:51] <domi007> so it probably will work
[23:51] <Jeruvy> can anyone tell me if the 2.6.24-26-generic update is a security update?
[23:51] <TheMozart> mAriachi: but Ubuntu took 700mb and I assigned 128MB.. so you mean 180MB is doing nothing?
[23:51] <mAriachi> TheMozart: well 128Mb is just too little
[23:51] <pablo> ke??
[23:51] <ron__> anyone know how to find and edit the xorg.conf so i can change resolution? it is not in the /etc/x11 folder i am using 9.10
[23:51] <mAriachi> TheMozart: Exactly
[23:51] <TheMozart> mAriachi: its just for emergency in case my hard drive dies.
[23:51] <j-3-r-g_> hey I'm no hardware guru but can someone help me out of they don't mind
[23:52] <mAriachi> TheMozart: oh, in that case, cheers, it's fast and cool though
[23:52] <TheMozart> mAriachi: indeed
[23:52] <Shirack> Hi does anyone know the source list and terminal command to update my intel drivers. Having problems enabling desktop effects on ubuntu 9.10
[23:52] <TheMozart> :)
[23:52] <tzeentch73> ActionParsnip__ : Would there be a way to configure it from the smallish shell on the server install CD?
[23:52] <mAriachi> TheMozart: i have a 2 gig usb, that i use only like a liferaft with xubuntu amdx64 version
[23:52] <j-3-r-g_> I have an old box that won't come on for sh*t
[23:52] <F223> how do I make ubuntu same things to my I: drive by default?
[23:53] <onetinsoldier> is there an setting somewhere, where i can make compiz remember what i have open, the windows locations, and their size?
[23:53] <jiohdi> j-3-r-g_: try something really small like puppy linux :)
[23:53] <mAriachi> Shirack: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-intel-video
[23:53] <Grantp> Has anyone used the L2TPNS software?
[23:53] <oistopthat> my question is " is xsplash a required application for ubuntu gnome" i get a INIT usplash stop displayed in a terminal screen on shut down
[23:54] <microhaxo> Anyone know where the install location of the hdparm is?
[23:54] <microhaxo> i need to replace a file
[23:54] <j-3-r-g_> no no no jiohdi i'm ok with software
[23:54] <mAriachi> Shirack: or try the Hardware drivers option
[23:54] <oistopthat> i do microhaxo
[23:54] <mAriachi> microhaxo: tipe that in a terminal
[23:54] <jiohdi> j-3-r-g_: whats not working?
[23:54] <Shirack> thanks marachi i will try
[23:54] <j-3-r-g_> I have an old box that i'm trying to get it back up and running
[23:54] <j-3-r-g_> this is the situation
[23:54] <mAriachi> microhaxo: TrY that in a terminal
[23:55] <mAriachi> j-3-r-g: just state your issue in one line, more chances of anyone reading it
[23:55] <Shirack> marachi it cant find the packae
[23:55] <j-3-r-g_> I have an old box that i recently installed an new DDR sttick and a power supply
[23:55] <Shirack> i think i need to add somthing to the source list
[23:55] <mAriachi> well try it the other way around
[23:55] <mAriachi> Shirack: Xserver-xorg-video-intel
[23:55] <j-3-r-g_> but the box when all hooked up just starts, all the fans spin
[23:55] <Shirack> just that line in software sources?
[23:55] <j-3-r-g_> and no bio's
[23:56] <j-3-r-g_> no logo
[23:56] <jiohdi> j-3-r-g_: did you try changing the hearing aid battery which keeps the bios alive?
[23:56] <mAriachi> Shirack: nope, the same sudo command i mentioned earlier, but the other way around at the end, here;s the whole again
[23:56] <j-3-r-g_> no
[23:56] <Shirack> thank you
[23:56] <Shirack> sorry bit of a newbie
[23:56] <j-3-r-g_> thanks i should try that
[23:57] <j-3-r-g_> but here is more info if it helps
[23:57] <mAriachi> Shirack: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel, or the same, just xserver-xorg-intel-video
[23:57] <jiohdi> if the box is old enough its likely dead
[23:57] <bobbytek> Is there any way when connected to a vpn I can browse folders on a remote machine?
[23:57] <F223> Ok, I have two screens on my computer.  Does anyone know if it's possible to get compiz to work on just one of them?
[23:57] <j-3-r-g_> went switch on the power supply with the button from o to |
[23:57] <bobbytek> that is also running ubuntu
[23:57] <mAriachi> j-3-r-g: maybe you bought an incompatible ram stick
[23:57] <mAriachi> F223: not possible, sorry
[23:57] <j-3-r-g_> the computer automatically comes on well the fan spin like i said
[23:57] <F223> bah humbug :(
[23:58] <onetinsoldier> is there an setting somewhere, where i can make compiz remember what i have open, the windows locations, and their size?
[23:58] <Shirack> "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel"
[23:58] <mAriachi> j-3-r-g: type in the nick in front of your reply, it will let us know who you are talking to
[23:58] <Shirack> sorry typo
[23:58] <j-3-r-g_> then when i force power down by holding the power button for 5 seconds the computer comes off as it normally would but when i try to put it on back again nothing happens
[23:58] <Shirack> "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." following "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel"
[23:59] <Shirack> Tried to enable desktop effects and still cant
[23:59] <Shirack> perhaps the problem is not my driver
[23:59] <mAriachi> Shirack: is your ubuntu updated?
[23:59] <Shirack> should be
[23:59] <Shirack> fresh istall earlier toda
[23:59] <mAriachi> Shirack: type the nickname of who you are talking to
