[00:00] <tucemiux> chetos, i meant to say if you want to put an icon all the way to the right
[00:00] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: thats fine, its just so i can get a better picture of what you see
[00:00] <Out_Cold> tucemiux, the mail icon shows you a list of mail clients. in chetos case evolution and empathy
[00:00] <needhelpUbuntu> do you want to walk me through from 2nd laptop? i can do that no prob
[00:00] <chetos> yeah
[00:00] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, oh i understand lol yeah its always better to be on the box
[00:00] <needhelpUbuntu> i agree
[00:00] <chetos> but i have evolution installed and it doesnt appears :S
[00:01] <needhelpUbuntu> brb im gonna set up the 2nd lap top brb
[00:01] <chetos> there is only empathy
[00:01] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: so is there anything at all in /media/whatever/ ?
[00:02] <euphorianx3> hello, im trying to install lucid-desktop-i386.iso, but its too big for a CD-R (i am burning it as an image cd, not a data cd).  the burning processes fails at 98-99% and i dont know what to do.
[00:02] <tucemiux> Out_Cold, that icon is used in gnome?  i've never seen it in ubuntu, maybe kde? let me fire up my virtual machine
[00:02] <novato_br> how could I share internet connection between windows 7 and ubuntu?
[00:02] <Out_Cold> tucemiux, it's gnome dependant.. one sec please
[00:02] <Out_Cold> indicator-applet 0.1
[00:02] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, yes
[00:03] <needhelpUbuntu> its would appear to be all there, but /home/myuser info is not
[00:03] <needhelpUbuntu> odd
[00:03] <needhelpUbuntu> i dont remember efs'ing the drive
[00:03] <Out_Cold> tucemiux, chetos: http://launchpad.net/indicator-applet
[00:03] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: try cd'ing to the directory and ls
[00:03] <chetos> yeah that
[00:03] <novato_br> hi hi
[00:03] <needhelpUbuntu> i did the basics
[00:03] <needhelpUbuntu> my data is not there
[00:03] <needhelpUbuntu> its skel only
[00:04] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: skel?
[00:04] <novato_br> connection sharing between windowsxp and ubuntu does work so fine
[00:04] <chetos> Out_Cold how i add items to that box?
[00:04] <h4h4> help
[00:04] <chetos> i wanna add evolution there
[00:04] <JohnnyDebt> hey.. how do ONLY download header in evolution email?
[00:04] <novato_br> but connection sharing between win7 and ubuntu 9.10 doesn't work properly
[00:04] <needhelpUbuntu> old unix/linux term for default dir files when you adduser
[00:04] <Out_Cold> chetos, no idea, it was automatic for me and has been so since install.. never had to manually add
[00:04] <chetos> ohh
[00:04] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, as in /etc/skel
[00:04] <chetos> ok
[00:05] <iflema> chetos what version of evolution do you have installed?
[00:05] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: ah, good to know
[00:05] <chetos> Evolution 2.28.1
[00:05] <iflema> chetos just check'n
[00:05] <JohnnyDebt> novato_br, there is a thread on ubuntu forums.. like it was just created and it's hot. Got to the networking and wirless section in the forums, must be on top of the queue
[00:05] <JohnnyDebt> chetos, the newest one
[00:05] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, 2nd box is up, i will goto that box now, and reboot this troubled laptop without livecd, meet you in a few.. i will same user. needhelpUbuntu
[00:06] <needhelpUbuntu> exit
[00:06] <novato_br> ok, JohnnyDebt
[00:06] <chetos> yeah
[00:06] <KenBW2> KenBW2: hey i can talk to myself
[00:07] <JohnnyDebt> chetos, i know its noob but the help is not working and i can't seem to find the option only to download header of the mail, not the complete thing
[00:07] <chetos> =/
[00:08] <JohnnyDebt> chetos, like i don't need the mail for offline use, just the subject..comeon it use to happen on evolution, but that was the last time when i formated
[00:08] <hyperstream> JohnnyDebt, google it perhaps
[00:09] <JohnnyDebt> hyperstream, firefox not opening.. probably due to the instalation of the kernel
[00:09] <JohnnyDebt> nevermind.. ill google it.. :)
[00:09] <hyperstream> lol
[00:09] <JohnnyDebt> i thought i could've taken the shortcut :<
[00:09] <hyperstream> google might be the short cut :P
[00:12] <tucemiux> chetos, still there?
[00:12] <chetos> yes
[00:12] <chetos> trying on Ubuntu forums
[00:12] <tucemiux> chetos, are you familiar using the terminal?
[00:12] <chetos> mm...no
[00:12] <Dravekx> if I have /var/help and /var/help/help2 ... how do i move the ALL contents of help2 to help via ssh?
[00:13] <chetos> i am kinda noob with Ubuntu
[00:13] <chetos> just installed 1 week ago
[00:13] <tucemiux> chetos, open up a terminal, it should be in "Accesores"
[00:13] <tucemiux> chetos, "Accesories-->terminal"
[00:13] <hyperstream> Dravekx, man mv
[00:13] <chetos> ok i am in
[00:14] <markstos> Dravekx: mv /var/help2/* /var/help/
[00:14] <MrKeuner> hello, how can I install c/c++ development plugins in ubuntu installation of eclipse galileo?
[00:14] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, ok, back. thanks for waiting...
[00:14] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: hi again
[00:15] <tucemiux> chetos, did you see my PM?
[00:15] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, first error,,, Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode, nvidia failed to load the nvidia kernel mod
[00:15] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: needhelpUbuntuapt-get install nvidia-settings
[00:15] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, i would like you to check this doc first ok.. this is what i did to fug it up
[00:15] <needhelpUbuntu> i have to get to command prompt
[00:15] <needhelpUbuntu> sb stand by
[00:15] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: ill make sure not to follow its instructions then :P
[00:15] <puff> I have a thinkpad with a 60 GB drive, partitioned into 5 GB for /, 10 GB for /home and 30 GB for bulk data.  It has intrepid on it and the 5 GB / partition is almost full.  I want to a) resize stuff to make / bigger and b) upgrade  to a more recent release.
[00:16] <puff> I have an external drive enclosure with a terabyte drive.  What's the best way to back up my system to it?
[00:16] <g0tcha> hey guys, is there a good video capture program for ubuntu?
[00:16] <KenBW2> puff: copy your home folder
[00:16] <needhelpUbuntu> said, svidia settins set already newest version
[00:16] <tsunami> could someone help me out with the command line ..er.. command to open an archive with the archive utility
[00:16] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: are you SSH'd in with the -X option?
[00:17] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2,  not yet. sb
[00:17] <markstos> puff: I use rsnapshot
[00:17] <markstos> tsunami: In gnome, clicking on an archive usually works.
[00:17] <tsunami> i'm extracting to a location owned by root
[00:18] <tsunami> hrm.. i'll extract then move..? is that the practice were doing in ubuntu?
[00:18] <markstos> tsunami: What extension does the archive have?
[00:18] <tsunami> .tar.gz
[00:18] <lexual> Any know where config files for nautilus-share is, so I can backup my config.
[00:18] <LOWERPOW4E> .Im   UsinG. .H4cKeRzE.
[00:18] <markstos> tsunami: First check the contents: tar -tzvf foo.tar.gz | less
[00:19] <markstos> tsunami: You want to see what the folder structure inside the archive is.
[00:19] <tsunami> it's drupal
[00:19] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, i removed what is here but didnt remove the ln -s  http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Setup_Jail
[00:19] <tsunami> 1mb spread over a few folers
[00:20] <bentob0x> how do I scan my local network for machines on it?
[00:20] <tsunami> ehh i just did the extract, then move approach
[00:20] <tsunami> thanks markstos
[00:20] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, loggin in now, -X option set
[00:20] <needhelpUbuntu> ok im in
[00:20] <markstos> tsunami: OK.  The extract command would have been: tar -xzvf drupal.tar.gz
[00:20] <markstos> tsunami: I use Drupal, too.
[00:20] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: where did you get up to before things screwed up
[00:21] <tsunami> i was using joomla
[00:21] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, ok im in, but... i think im in single user mode
[00:21] <tsunami> but switched for the "case tracker" plugin
[00:21] <needhelpUbuntu> agian, skel dir on /home/mysuer
[00:21] <needhelpUbuntu> ugh
[00:21] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: run nvidia-settings
[00:21] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, k, sb
[00:22] <tucemiux> bentob0x, go to the forum or google and learn to use nmap
[00:22] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, error: control display is undefined
[00:22] <bentob0x> nmap it is, thx tucemiux
[00:23] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, apparently i have lost my /home/myuser/.* settings
[00:23] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: i cant see anything on the VB page that should rm your ~/
[00:23] <puff> markstos: The terabyte drive is ntfs formatted, is that a problem?
[00:23] <blakkheim> !awai > digilord|walking
[00:23] <blakkheim> !away > digilord|walking
[00:23] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, i know,, huh, i dont get it
[00:23] <sagaci> guys, I just have to say Ubuntu really rocks. this thing just runs on just about anything
[00:24] <markstos> puff: Is what you are backing up Ubuntu Linux?
[00:24] <blakkheim> puff: linux can write to ntfs with ntfs-3g, but there is a small speed/cpu overhead
[00:24] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2,  i did the reverse of those settings, so for i in /var.... i did sudo umount $i
[00:25] <needhelpUbuntu> how do i unchoot the /var/64,, i did an umount of that drive, then deleted it.
[00:25] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: im afraid i get the feeling you know more than i do
[00:25] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, possibly lol
[00:25] <Illuminatus> I have a question about PARANOID option in tcpd. I don't understand how it can detect spoof atack. If I send a packet with a source spoof ip when the linux server recive the packet it'll try to resolv that ip and is a ip valid it will get a name for that ip. How does it consider Its a spoof ip?
[00:25] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, but we all have our specialities
[00:26] <puff> markstos: Yes.
[00:26] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: reading the paragraph at the top of that page it sounds like you have a rare setup
[00:27] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, i try to be cutting edge lol
[00:27] <markstos> puff: I would recommend repartitioning the drive: Put some in the same format of your Ubuntu partition you are backing up, and leave some in NTFS or FAT32 (so you can easily share files with friends)
[00:27] <markstos> puff: It's safest to use exactly the same file system on the source and backup partitions.
[00:28] <puff> markstos: Unfortunately, there's stuff on the drive.
[00:28] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, i tried the nvidia gui thingy, says, count not generate a new confg
[00:28] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: permissions?
[00:28] <puff> markstos: Okay, thanks... I have another terabyte drive in another machine, mabe I can shuffle stuff around.
[00:28] <sagaci> will ubuntu be fine on a 25gb partition on a 80gb hdd with XP on the other partition (xp has heaps of viruses)
[00:28] <markstos> puff: You can likely resize the NTFS partition. I have done it before to create dual boot systems.
[00:28] <danbhfive> sagaci: a base install uses like 6g I think
[00:28] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: is it possible you chrooted your ~/
[00:28] <needhelpUbuntu> possibly
[00:28] <needhelpUbuntu> sb
[00:29] <sagaci> danbhfive: and just quickly how do I check how good a graphics card is supported, it's a nvidia one
[00:29] <puff> Hm, I have some other portables around, I will see if I can find one with not-ntfs on it.
[00:29] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, possibly
[00:29] <needhelpUbuntu> i followed those instructions
[00:29] <needhelpUbuntu> on link
[00:29] <markstos> puff: They usually come formatted with NTFS or FAT32.
[00:29] <danbhfive> sagaci: I usually use yahoo, but also, nvidias usually work well
[00:29] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, they failed to say how to remove it though in howto... bastard
[00:29] <needhelpUbuntu> bastards
[00:30] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: ls -la your home folder
[00:30] <puff> markstos: Yeah, but likely at least one of the others I reformatted.
[00:30] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, yep
[00:30] <needhelpUbuntu> its there
[00:30] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, its all owned by me
[00:31] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: so why wouldnt nvidia-settings be able to make a profile folder
[00:31] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: try (gk)sudo nvidia-settings
[00:32] <needhelpUbuntu> im still chrooted i think
[00:32] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, tried that 5 mins ago
[00:32] <needhelpUbuntu> nogo
[00:32] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: im afraid im out of ideas/knowledge
[00:33] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, im gonna try to put things back, ssh the home/mysuer and reinstall lol
[00:33] <needhelpUbuntu> ill let you know what happens
[00:33] <needhelpUbuntu> i still think im in single user mode
[00:33] <needhelpUbuntu>  /boot/grub/menu.1st isnt there
[00:33] <kappa> hi guys, i nedd help to mount an hdd. Can anyone help me please?
[00:34] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: i think that was changed in karmic iirc
[00:34] <markstos> kappa: Ask your question
[00:34] <tucemiux> needhelpUbuntu, menu.1st is no more in grub2
[00:34] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, ill be amazed if it works, but i think all my data is gone.... sighs...
[00:34] <rahduke> if I get a digital HD PVR card will I be able to recieve all the channels that i get thru my cableprovider?
[00:34] <needhelpUbuntu> im on amd64
[00:34] <needhelpUbuntu> 9.10
[00:34] <MrKeuner> hello, how can I install c/c++ development plugins in ubuntu installation of eclipse galileo?
[00:34] <needhelpUbuntu> tucemiux, where is it
[00:34] <needhelpUbuntu> :)
[00:34] <Markive> hi all , is there a way to adjust the frequency output of the soundcard ? the output is too bassy. thanks mark
[00:35] <kappa> i have installed ubuntu on my pc. I have 2 hdd in it. One is dedicated for the operative system and the other is for data. In partitioned in ntfs but i can't see it. How can i mount it to save the data and then change th filesystem into ext3-4?
[00:35] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: i started doing backups recently, one day ill be pleased i did
[00:36] <sagaci> is there a tool to defragment an xp partition from ubuntu
[00:36] <sagaci> kappa:
[00:36] <sagaci> kappa: sudo fdisk -l
[00:36] <needhelpUbuntu> it kinda makes sense, still chroot'd, as when i tried to copy my dir while using liveusb, i mounted that drive, and it said i couldnt smb it over, which means, its perms or chroot,, i believe, thus, using that friggen debootstrap command initially dia a whole fs on /var/64
[00:36] <needhelpUbuntu> when i deleted it,, i removed my ability to work with my home dir... dunno, just a thought
[00:37] <needhelpUbuntu> << not a master of chroot yet
[00:37] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: whats debootstrap?
[00:37] <sagaci> !paste | kappa
[00:37] <woodyjlw> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repositories
[00:37] <needhelpUbuntu> debootstrap (8)      - Bootstrap a basic Debian system
[00:38] <needhelpUbuntu> do a whatis on it
[00:38] <needhelpUbuntu> ;)
[00:38] <kappa> sagaci, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1575a816
[00:38] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: whats bootstrap :P
[00:39] <danbhfive> sagaci: you need windows to run those defrag tools
[00:39] <Markive> is there an eq or something i can adjust the bass and treble of the soudcard on ubuntu please
[00:39] <sagaci> danbhfive: so i have this windows partition full of viruses, i'll just boot into safe mode or normal mode without networking and defrag?
[00:40] <danbhfive> sagaci: I guess, why do you want to defrag?
[00:40] <Soyo> You no longer need anything that is not open source
[00:40] <sagaci> danbhfive: i thought it would be safer before installing ubuntu on the same disk
[00:41] <kappa> sagaci, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1575a816 then?
[00:41] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, i guess its related to brastrap
[00:41] <iflema> kappa in gnome mounted & unmounted partitions show under the places desktop menu or the upper left pane of nautilus (home on the places menu)
[00:41] <needhelpUbuntu> and jockstrap
[00:41] <danbhfive> sagaci: within the same partition? or on a separate partition?
[00:41] <needhelpUbuntu> debootstrap is still running,,, its a serious cmd
[00:41] <KenBW2> needhelpUbuntu: perhaps - didnt know debian swung that way :D
[00:41] <kappa> iflema, i can't see the partiotin
[00:41] <puff> Markive: Hm, there should be.  I'm trying to remember where it is.
[00:42] <needhelpUbuntu> KenBW2, i think debian is very PC
[00:42] <sagaci> danbhfive: same partition on an 80gb hdd, about 20gb for ubuntu rest (60gb left for xp)
[00:42] <needhelpUbuntu> like the rest of the world
[00:42] <sagaci> kappa: so the partition doesn't show up in nautilus
[00:42] <Markive> puff thanks, i'll standby
[00:43] <kappa> sagaci,  no. Only in fdisk but not home or desktop
[00:43] <danbhfive> sagaci: so wait, on separate partitions? or the same partition?  I don't know about using wubi, but separate partitions should be fine
[00:43] <g0tcha> hey guys, is there a good video capture program for ubuntu?
[00:44] <vector1> @g0tcha: Try cheese or VLC :)
[00:44] <vector1> @g0tcha: There's also xawtv.
[00:44] <sagaci> danbhfive: xp is just here atm on a 80gb partition. i want to use the partition thing in ubiquity to install them side by side
[00:44] <Jeruvy> g0tcha: krut is pretty good depending on what you are looking for.
[00:45] <vector1> @g0tcha: It depends on what you want to do. Do you want to capture from a video camera, or a webcam, or a tv tuner?
[00:46] <g0tcha> i have a composite video card on this computer i have ubuntu installed and i want to plug my tv reciever to capture few game videos
[00:46] <sagaci> kappa: go sudo mkdir /media/windows
[00:46] <danbhfive> sagaci: that should be fine, no matter the virii of windows
[00:46] <LoopBack> has anyone played with the banshee that was released today?
[00:46] <sagaci> danbhfive: i need to keep the existing windows there for photos and music etc
[00:47] <vector1> @g0tcha: Composite being DVI/VGA out and S/Video in?
[00:47] <sagaci> kappa: done?
[00:47] <g0tcha> vector1, yes, DVI output from pc to monitor and Composite in to pc
[00:48] <kappa> sagaci, an errore became. Impossible to create the direcotry "/media windows": The file exist
[00:48] <sagaci> did you type exactly sudo mkdir /media/windows
[00:48] <vector1> @g0tcha: regardless, (to my knowledge) VLC or xawtv should be able to do that. I'm not an expert but if you're lucky you might have the device /dev/video or /dev/video0 or something similar to access your composite capture.
[00:49] <g0tcha> hmmm
[00:49] <g0tcha> you think its easier to do it in a Windows OS, vector1?
[00:49] <vector1> @g0tcha: bang this into a terminal
[00:49] <vector1> ls /dev/ | grep video
[00:50] <drew31> Hi People,  I am moving to Ubuntu from Mandriva: Does Ubuntu use the term 'Mozilla-Thunderbird'  or  simply  'Thunderbird'  ??
[00:50] <vector1> Depends. If the video device is there, it might be as simple as opening VLC, selecting 'capture device,' and picking /dev/video0. Then you can save it to a file, stream it, ...
[00:50] <vector1> @drew31 afaik the default e-mail client is evolution
[00:51] <needhelpUbuntu> interesting.......
[00:51] <coz_> drew31,  for installation i believe mozilla thunderbird but let me check
[00:51] <g0tcha> vector1, it returend "video0
[00:51] <needhelpUbuntu> i did what i said i would,,, i got to desktop but... all my data is gone......
[00:51] <g0tcha> "video0" i mean
[00:51] <needhelpUbuntu> i need to learn forensics so i can recover data better....
[00:51] <coz_> drew31,   it is inded mozilla-thunderbcird
[00:51] <coz_> drew31,  sorry  mozilla-thunderbird
[00:52] <sagaci> hey, if i've got two separate computers next to each other, can i just use an ethernet cable into their sockets to network them together or do i need a hub or router
[00:52] <coz_> drew31,  although there is also  just  "thunderbird:"  in the repositories
[00:52] <Awesome3000> sagaci: You Probally need a crossover cable
[00:52] <actionparsnip> Yo yo yo
[00:52] <coz_> drew31,  ok just thunderbird for the actual pacakge  and mozilla-thunderbird for the transitianl package
[00:52] <drew31> vector1, coz_,  thanks,  I put the two together and didn't know which was old and which was new and belonged to ubuntu.
[00:53] <onetinsoldier> hello actionparsnip :)
[00:53] <needhelpUbuntu> whats the hotkey to access the gui menus without a mouse....
[00:54] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: alt+f2
[00:54] <vector1> @g0tcha If you grab vlc from the software center, open it, Media menu -> Open Capture Device
[00:54] <needhelpUbuntu> no
[00:54] <needhelpUbuntu> the menus on the desktop
[00:54] <Callum_> sagaci: Yeah, you'll need a special Ethernet cable called a crossover cable
[00:54] <actionparsnip> Need or alt+f1 to bring up the gnome menu
[00:54] <iflema> needhelpUbuntu Alt+F1
[00:54] <needhelpUbuntu> thank you
[00:55] <sagaci> Callum_: are they rare
[00:55] <Callum_> sagaci: Not at all
[00:55] <sagaci> Callum_: how much roughly
[00:55] <vector1> @g0tcha you'll use /dev/video0 as your video device name, and see if that gets you anywhere
[00:55] <Callum_> sagaci: They're not very expensive, probably about the same as regular Ethernet cables
[00:55] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: you can type a bit of the app name in the alt+f2 dialogue instead of navigating the menu
[00:55] <g0tcha> vector1, cool let me try that out
[00:56] <Out_Cold> sagaci, some NICs have cross-over capability.... but not very common... a cheap $5 hub from kijiji would do you fine
[00:56] <vector1> @g0tcha No worries. If that works, then go media menu -> streaming, pick the capture device tab from the top and type /dev/video0 as the device. Click stream, then you can tick the 'stream to file' box, which is basically saving video live (which I'm guessing is what you're after).
[00:56] <needhelpUbuntu> actionparsnip, i know, but i dont know all the menu commands that well. id rather arrowdown
[00:56] <Nicola> .bin2
[00:56] <Out_Cold> sagaci, and almost any computer shop would make you a cable for about the same price as it is to buy new
[00:57] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: well now you know 2 ways ;)
[00:57] <vector1> While I'm here, I was wondering if anyone could help me with compiling ffmpeg :)
[00:57] <sagaci> Out_Cold: no, my local computer shop seems dodgy and overpriced
[00:57] <needhelpUbuntu> what i want to know is where is all my data that was under the /home/myuser dir!!
[00:57] <g0tcha> vector1, yes, thats what im exactly what i want
[00:57] <Out_Cold> sagaci, you can always make your own but that's a bit of a hassle
[00:57] <needhelpUbuntu> actionparsnip, thanks. alt f1 is what i didnt know
[00:58] <sagaci> Out_Cold: yeah not too good with my hands
[00:58] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: what do you mean about your data?
[00:58] <viper474> Hello, for some reason my headphone audio is only sounding on the left side.  Could someone help me with this issue?
[00:58] <needhelpUbuntu> since i was running a chroot'd env under /var/64 and followed these instructions,, i somehow destroyed my user dir
[00:58] <needhelpUbuntu> http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Setup_Jail
[00:58] <needhelpUbuntu> i removed things not properly
[00:59] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: restore from your backups then
[00:59] <needhelpUbuntu> actionparsnip, you know, /home/youruser/stuff
[00:59] <needhelpUbuntu> actionparsnip, what are you saying?
[00:59] <needhelpUbuntu> i wouldnt be here if i had a backup lol
[00:59] <vector1> @viper474 if you're certain that your headphones work properly and it is not a problem with the connection, you can use alsamixer to see if your left/right volume is correct
[00:59] <needhelpUbuntu> i am building a new box, didnt get to backups yet
[01:00] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: if you data is important to you then you will have a backup. No backup == data is disposable
[01:00] <needhelpUbuntu> i dont see how my data just vanished
[01:00] <Trek> hey, how do I set up remote desktop on Ubuntu?
[01:00] <Out_Cold> actionparsnip, i learned that lesson with over 5000 ebooks that magically disappeared
[01:00] <needhelpUbuntu> look at that link and show me where i would have lost it from while removing this and that...
[01:00] <needhelpUbuntu> actionparsnip, enough, i dont need that right now,,, just stay outta of it,
[01:01] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: you can use foremost to extract data from unused sectors but don't expect miracles
[01:01] <vector1> Would anybody be able to help me with compiling ffmpeg? I'm having a small issue with libx264 and I'm not quite sure how to track it down
[01:01] <actionparsnip> Out_cold: people need to learn to backup as systems become more entwined in their lives
[01:01] <needhelpUbuntu> actionparsnip, i was looking into foremost, havent used it before, but it was on some docs i read this morning
[01:01] <Out_Cold> vector1, what's the error exactly?
[01:01] <kappa> sagaci, are you still here?
[01:02] <Trek> hey, how do I set up remote desktop on Ubuntu?  i kind of need the access, and I need Remote Desktop access capable of working with Windows
[01:02] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: look for: ubuntu data recovery
[01:02] <Out_Cold> actionparsnip, yea... i now keep a huge backup on my server and occasionally do dvd bkups
[01:02] <needhelpUbuntu> actionparsnip, explain how "unused" sectors applies
[01:02] <viper474> @vector1: Oh, I hope they are working properly, I will have to find others to know for sure...I just now looked at the wire leading into the earpiece.  There could be a small problem there.  I guess I was looking too hard into it since, I kept looking over the settings in pulse audio and wondering what was going on.  I could boot into Vista and I'd know for sure.
[01:02] <vector1> @out_cold When compiling, I hit a brick wall with the following:
[01:02] <vector1> home/vector/Source/ffmpeg/libavcodec/libavcodec.so: undefined reference to `x264_encoder_open_83'
[01:02] <sagaci> kappa: did you exactly type sudo mkdir /media/windows
[01:02] <edektor> anybody know of some good command line audio inspection tools?
[01:02] <chungachanga> i am new to ubuntu need help with soundcard
[01:02] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu; if the OS can't see the files then the data bits are not marked as 'used'
[01:02] <Out_Cold> vector1, did you apt-get build-dep ffmpeg??
[01:02] <kappa> yes i did sagaci, it works and i fix it
[01:03] <chungachanga> i have hp hdx9000 laptop
[01:03] <kappa> sagaci,  i hav another question
[01:03] <Trek> hey, how do I set up remote desktop on Ubuntu?  i kind of need the access, and I need Remote Desktop access capable of working with Windows
[01:03] <vector1> @out_cold I've googled for x264_encoder_open_83 and nothing comes up. I've `grep x264_encoder_open_83 ./*` and only the libavcodec.so matches
[01:03] <g0tcha> weird.. cant find vlc in the software center
[01:03] <vector1> @out_cold I grabbed the latest git clone yesterday
[01:03] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: bits cannot be empty, they will always be a 1 or 0 so you may be able to recover some of the data which you haven't overwritten
[01:03] <Out_Cold> vector1, no idea then mate.. sorry
[01:03] <vector1> @out_cold of x264 and ffmpeg separately
[01:03] <Trek> anyone here know about Remote Desktop and Ubuntu?
[01:03] <iflema> !vnc | Trek
[01:03] <vector1> @out_cold thanks anyway :)
[01:03] <chungachanga> anyone care to help me with sound
[01:04] <Trek> thanks
[01:04] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: imagine if your drives motor failed overnight. Where is your data?
[01:04] <viper474> thanks guys, I'll check my stuff...
[01:05] <actionparsnip> Needhelpubuntu: as I said earlier. No backup == you don't care if you lose it.
[01:05] <kappa> sagaci, i have another question for you.
[01:05] <vector1> nobody else for compiling ffmpeg with libx264? :D
[01:06] <actionparsnip> Vector1: is there not a ppa with it already done
[01:06] <SERBIA> alo majmuni
[01:07] <vector1> @actionparsnip I'm not sure. I'm not very familiar with ppa. I had issues with using the ffmpeg packages on apt-get (installing -dev and some other stuff ended up conflicting, so I wanted to compile)
[01:07] <actionparsnip> Vector1: websearch for: ppa search
[01:07] <Daugha|n> Is there a test package I can get to see exactly what my proccy is doing?
[01:08] <vector1> @actionparsnip thanks, will do
[01:08] <actionparsnip> Vector1: you will find the launchpad seach page and you can try finding a maintainer whom has already compiled
[01:08] <onetinsoldier> Daugha|n: you mean to see how much activity your processor has? it's load...
[01:08] <actionparsnip> Vector1: you may have to contact them to verify
[01:09] <actionparsnip> Daugha|n: use: top
[01:09] <vector1> @actionparsnip Thanks, I'm checking it out now. :)
[01:09] <Daugha|n> actionparsnip: top?
[01:09] <actionparsnip> Daugha|n: type it in a terminal and hit enter
[01:10] <actionparsnip> top
[01:10] <sagaci> kappa: what's the question
[01:10] <Daugha|n> Oh, that just shows me what is running...
[01:10] <actionparsnip> Daugh|n: read the top lines ;)

[01:15] <vector1> @viper474 bugger. Might be worth checking the cable hasn't become wrecked at either end, that it's in the headphone properly and everything. If they're earbuds there won't be a lot you can do to fix them.

[01:16] <tcarter> ctrl alt arrows only switch between workspaces.....any idea how to switch to second monitor....ctrl alt f7/f8?
[01:16] <rolsworth> because i remember flash not wokring on 64bit
[01:16] <rww> ubottu: flash64 | rolsworth
[01:16] <actionparsnip> Rolsworth: there are native 64bit flash and jave. Ubuntu uses an abstraction layer with the 32bit plugins and they work fine too
[01:16] <arand> !serbian | SERBIA chungachanga
[01:16] <rww> rolsworth: the "64-bit Firefox and 64-bit Flash plugin" worked fine for me.
[01:17] <viper474> @vector1: It's not the jack, because I could play something and then manipulate the cord that goes into the earpiece and I could hear sound...There is a small cut in the wire.
[01:17] <actionparsnip> Rolsworth: browser plugins have very little to do with stability
[01:17] <tcarter> random832: sorry i didn't notice you responded...no i have two seperate desktops
[01:17] <rolsworth> so it's not like windows where the default browser is 32bit
[01:17] <iAmerikan> I'm about to create a small partition and install XP on it for a game. Are there any ways to makesure I don't have problems re-loading grub?
[01:17] <Random832> tcarter; i didn't even know you could do that anymore
[01:18] <rww> rolsworth: no
[01:18] <Random832> and you can't move the mouse between them?
[01:18] <vector1> @viper474 yeah, you'll either have to break them open and solder/tape the cable to repair it or get a new set.
[01:18] <actionparsnip> Iamerikan: I can't see how you can do anything different. You will need to reinstall grub though
[01:18] <Random832> try ctrl-alt-f8 i guess - i've literally never heard of anyone with such a setup before
[01:18] <iAmerikan> actionparsnip, just making sure.
[01:18] <actionparsnip> Rolsworth: you can use firefox32 if you wish
[01:18] <viper474> Yeah, I'll just go with the Headset (mic and headphones) set I have at home.  Platronics for tha win!
[01:19] <tcarter> random832: yeah i just set them up but i figure out how to manuver btw the two. since there on seperate xwindows (suposssedly) i thought i could use ctrl alt f7 and f8
[01:19] <Random832> are they separate displays :0 and :1, or just separate screens :0.0 and :0.1?
[01:19] <actionparsnip> Rolsworth: assuming you use the firefox browser...
[01:20] <tcarter> seperate display....0 and1
[01:20] <naderman> hey, so sound stopped working for me earlier today (no idea why) so I decided to properly install pulseaudio (using kde) and then upgraded finally to 9.10, all my soundcard outputs is some crackling though, anybody have any ideas why?
[01:20] <naderman> I've obviously gone through google and tried some of the various suggested settings for pulseaudio, none of which seem to work
[01:21] <actionparsnip> Naderman: tried pulling the volume levels down to about 80%
[01:21] <naderman> actionparsnip: yes, but I'll do it again
[01:21] <actionparsnip> Naderman: killall pulseaudio; rm -rf $HOME/.pulse*
[01:22] <tcarter> random832: when i check it tells me they are set as absolute not right of and left of....i saved it as r of and l of
[01:22] <actionparsnip> Naderman: then press alt+f2 and type: pulseaudio
[01:22] <actionparsnip> Naderman: good place to start with sound issues
[01:23] <naderman> actionparsnip: still just crackling
[01:23] <kevalmighty> .
[01:23] <actionparsnip> Bah, that's all I got then
[01:23] <naderman> at any sound level
[01:23] <matt_keys> how do you force a controller to re-scan for hard drives?
[01:24] <actionparsnip> Matt_keys: restart hal maybe
[01:24] <naderman> actionparsnip: hah but I found the configuration tab in pavucontrol
[01:24] <naderman> that solved it
[01:24] <ubuntununuub> hey guys, I have a problem, wondering if theres a quick fix
[01:24] <naderman> great :D
[01:24] <ubuntununuub> google didn't help
[01:25] <naderman> had the wrong output setting there
[01:25] <ubuntununuub> I'm a nub to ubuntu
[01:25] <ThatGuyOverThere> I've got some trouble with my video card. Can anyone help?
[01:25] <ubuntununuub> everytime I go afk for a while, the screen loses color intensity
[01:25] <ubuntununuub> like, I can't read text
[01:25] <ubuntununuub> but it only happens when I go afk for a while
[01:25] <ubuntununuub> and the only thing that fixes it is a restart
[01:25] <chungachanga> !help
[01:26] <ubuntununuub> ok, will reword
[01:26] <chungachanga> i have problem with sound laptop HP hdx9000

[01:26] <ezrafree> hello
[01:26] <ezrafree> anyone know how to use a vga font in gnome-terminal?
[01:26] <actionparsnip_> Ububuntununuub: restart the x server instead, or switch from cli to desktop
[01:26] <ThatGuyOverThere> Anybody? My video card isn't working right. Compiz animations are slow and choppy and so is video playback.
[01:27] <ubuntununuub> I'm a noob to ubuntu, and my problem is that everytime I go afk, the screen loses color intensity or something, and text becomes pretty much impossible to read, and things look really bright. adjusting monitor brightness doesn't help
[01:27] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Which card model is it?
[01:27] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere: what is the output of: lspci | grep -I vga
[01:27] <actionparsnip_> Oops. grep -I vga
[01:28] <actionparsnip_> Sorry
[01:28] <ThatGuyOverThere> Isn't that the same thing you just typed...?
[01:28] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: lspci|grep VGA
[01:28] <ThatGuyOverThere> Okay.
[01:29] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere: no, linux is case sensitive so its not the same
[01:29] <soreau> actionparsnip: you typed the same thing
[01:30] <actionparsnip_> Soreau: ah, my phone must be showing it badly then, oh well
[01:30] <capron> My compiz also runs slow and chopy x1050 ati.  I guess buy a new wood be better ?
[01:30] <ThatGuyOverThere> And now I can't get the terminal to start...
[01:30] <ThatGuyOverThere> ...what the deuce...
[01:30] <soreau> capron: Which version of ubuntu?
[01:30] <actionparsnip_> !ati | capron
[01:30] <ThatGuyOverThere> Alright, I'ma try restarting. My computer is acting weird.
[01:30] <actionparsnip_> !terminal | thatguyoverthere
[01:30] <capron> I use 9.10 Karmic
[01:30] <ThatGuyOverThere> Be right back.
[01:31] <soreau> actionparsnip: That is a horrible ati factoid btw. Consider /msg FusioBot ati
[01:31] <capron> ubottu, I will check that
[01:31] <soreau> capron: Which version of ubuntu?
[01:31] <capron> soreau, 9.10
[01:31] <matt_keys> actionparsnip_: this is kinda tricky though, not sure hal would be the best method. i just tried "echo "0 0 0" >/sys/class/scsi_host/host6/scan", but it didn't add the drive in
[01:31] <actionparsnip_> Soreau: i'd change it to ati sucks ;)
[01:32] <mudassarm30> Hello brothers, I just installed ubuntu 9.10, but it hanges before login screen and keyboard mouse stop working, please help
[01:32] <soreau> actionparsnip: The proprietary ati driver sucks. The open driver is much better and is getting better all the time
[01:32] <actionparsnip_> Matt_keys: there's something you gotta do with tee to echo text into files. Not sure what it is
[01:32] <afroman> could anybody help connect my bluetooth headset to my pc with vbox?
[01:33] <dukz> hey, anyone uses virtualization here? I'm setting up one of our server boxes
[01:33] <razertek> actionparsnip, hi
[01:33] <dukz> I have 9.10. KVM or Xen? Suggestions please.
[01:34] <actionparsnip_> Hi razertek
[01:34] <soreau> actionparsnip: That is why I think the ati factoid ubottu has is horrible, because it makes no mention of the open radeon driver
[01:34] <actionparsnip_> Soreau: I use only nvidia or really old intel I know are going to give me zero issues
[01:35] <matt_keys> actionparsnip_ : I've got 4 drives on the first (intel) controller. /boot is sda1, swap is sda2, and / is sda3 on the first drive. the rest of the first and the other 3 drives on the intel controller are raid0 to md0. a 1tb drive is on the second (marvell tech) controller.
[01:35] <ThatGuyOverThere> What was the command again?
[01:35] <soreau> actionparsnip: My point is the ati factoid ubottu knows is horrible. It should be updated to mention the open driver at least. Im not saying any card is better than others
[01:35] <matt_keys> actionparsnip_ : if I try to boot with the 1tb drive plugged in, it never makes it past grub
[01:36] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: lspci|grep VGA
[01:36] <afroman> could anybody help connect my bluetooth headset to my pc with vbox?
[01:36] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere: lspci | grep VGA
[01:36] <ThatGuyOverThere> Oh my god!
[01:36] <matt_keys> actionparsnip_ : boot cd doesn't work either. so I hot plugged it (it's been wiped anyway) to see if I could mount it
[01:36] <ThatGuyOverThere> My terminal is still not starting!
[01:37] <ThatGuyOverThere> Can anyone think of a reason I wouldn't be able to start a terminal?
[01:37] <actionparsnip_> Matt_keys: boot to live cd and make sure all the UIDs are right for each partition in etc/fstab on the internal partition
[01:37] <razertek> actionparsnip would you suggest i upgrade to lucid alpha2 from 9.10 if all i am doing is studying for my lpic1
[01:38] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere: press alt+f2 type: gnome-terminal then press enter
[01:38] <sece> #ircnet
[01:38] <matt_keys> actionparsnip_ : confused? it boots if I remove the 1tb drive
[01:38] <actionparsnip_> !lucid | razertek
[01:38] <ThatGuyOverThere> actionparsnip_: Still no good.
[01:38] <actionparsnip_> Matt_keys: check your grub and fstab settings
[01:39] <ThatGuyOverThere> Everytime I hit the launcher, it says "starting terminal" in the taskbar, but then it never starts.
[01:39] <matt_keys> is there a way to tell grub to ignore a controller?
[01:39] <matt_keys> so that at least bios will see the drive and pass that along to the kernel
[01:39] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere: killall gnome-terminal
[01:39] <jimisrvrox1> hey guys if anybody has a minute I would appreciate some help with my wireless card Ive done iw and if config and its showing not managed.
[01:39] <ThatGuyOverThere> actionparsnip_: Won't that stop my X server?
[01:39] <mudassarm30> keyboard mouse doesn't work after installing 9.10 please help
[01:39] <krel> hi!  /part
[01:39] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere: then try running a terminal
[01:39] <krel> err, wrong window, sorry :(
[01:40] <soreau> ! tty | ThatGuyOverThere
[01:40] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere, no. Terminal is only a terminal app. It is not the x server
[01:40] <ThatGuyOverThere> I know.
[01:40] <jimisrvrox1> #linuxhelp
[01:40] <ThatGuyOverThere> I just didn't remember how to start it.
[01:41] <actionparsnip_> Jimisvrox1: run: sudo lshw -C network
[01:41] <arand> matt_keys: is it not so that it tries to boot from the 1tb drive when it is plugged in? And there is no bootloader on the 1tb drive?
[01:41] <actionparsnip_> jimisrvrox1: websearch for the product line
[01:41] <ThatGuyOverThere> Okay, I did killall gnome-terminal. Now what?
[01:41] <mudassarm30> somebody please help regarding keyboard/mouse issue in Ubuntu 9.10
[01:42] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere: alt+f2 and type gnome-terminal then press enter
[01:42] <arand> mudassarm30: detail issue, if anyone knows they'll answer.
[01:43] <ThatGuyOverThere> actionparsnip_: Still nothing.
[01:43] <mudassarm30> I installed Ubuntu 9.10 and keyboard / mouse are not working on the login screen .... even I can't see the login screen as well
[01:44] <actionparsnip_> Thatguyoverthere: strange. Try installing guake and use that instead
[01:44] <vaporub> if I add a startup script from an application... say /etc/init.d/mywebapp... do i need to run 'update-rc.d mywebapp defaults' for it to work on startup and shutdown?
[01:44] <jimisrvrox1> actionparsnip RT2500
[01:44] <ratbox_> mudassarm30: maybe that's 'cause Ubuntu 9.10 all the way back to 8.10 have been garbage?
[01:45] <blakkheim> burn
[01:45] <actionparsnip_> Jimisvrox1: ok that's the chip which is what you need to know. Now find guides on how to set it up
[01:45] <vaporub> or should I manually symlink the script to a runlevel?
[01:45] <afroman> how do I get my "sound preferences" back?
[01:46] <ThatGuyOverThere> Alright, terminal finally working. That command again?
[01:46] <almostsix> I'm trying to get openssh-server to run on my desktop (xubuntu 9.10), and I get this message, which I don't understand: "sshd re-exec requires execution with an absolute path." What does this mean?
[01:46] <blakkheim> almostsix: run /usr/sbin/sshd
[01:47] <ratbox_> Ubuntu Hardy and Gutsy have been AWSOME to me and all my hardware... I'm building Ac!D Linux to fix what bugs Hardy has and are left by the Ubuntu devs.  It bugs me how they leave stuff broken all the *** time.
[01:47] <ThatGuyOverThere> actionparsnip_: My terminal is finally working. What was the command?
[01:47] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: lspci|grep VGA
[01:47] <ubuntununuub> btw, anyone here have an android phone?
[01:47] <actionparsnip_> Thanks soreau
[01:47] <ubuntununuub> because I saw someone was working on getting android apps to run natively on ubuntu
[01:48] <actionparsnip_> Ubuntununuub: using it now
[01:48] <ubuntununuub> looked fairly amazing
[01:48] <ubuntununuub> <3 droid
[01:48] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[01:49] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Which version of ubuntu?
[01:49] <ThatGuyOverThere> Karmic
[01:49] <almostsix> blakkheim: Ah, okay, that makes sense. Now I get this error though: could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
[01:49] <ubuntununuub> I just hope that someone manages to hack the ipad to run android. ipad hardware + android 2.1 would be so sick
[01:49] <Speculater> Can I get Ubuntu on my iPhone? :-p
[01:49] <blakkheim> almostsix: sounds like you need to find a tutorial on how to setup an ssh server :/
[01:49] <vaporub> almostsix: did you try this link http://ipucu.enderunix.org/view.php?id=1879&lang=en
[01:49] <soreau> I dont know exactly which card that is but I wouldnt expect too much out of it
[01:49] <jimisrvrox1> actionparsnip its been a while since I set up a wireless card. Forgot all kinds of commands but I remmeber there being like 2 or so versions of the RT2500
[01:50] <mudassarm30> please solve my keyboard/mouse problem with Ubuntu 9.10, otherwise tell me some better distro, I have installed it 10 times but no use
[01:50] <blakkheim> !ssh > almostsix
[01:50] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Karmic.
[01:50] <charles__> can anyone point me in the direction of a Winamp-like media player? i'm less concerned with things liek skins and a lot MORE concerned with things like display information (i like being able to see the bitrate and things like that). mostly what i want to make sure of is a good, functional playlist display
[01:50] <actionparsnip_> Jimisvrox1: copy the product line and use it in websearches. You will hit gold
[01:50] <blakkheim> charles__: mpd + ncmpcpp
[01:50] <vaporub> almostsix: but actually just running 'aptitude install openssh-server' should set you up
[01:51] <actionparsnip_> !winamp | charles__
[01:51] <sn00kie> I'm trying to build a livecd using remastersys from my parallels install.  Problem is my video resolution on the livecd is terrible.  It doesn't autoadapt to the video card like the regular install cd, anyone know why or can point me in the right direction?
[01:51] <jimisrvrox1> actionparsnip_: what really sucks is Ive taken a linux course at school but I figure it takes a few years of using the cli to really memorize it pretty good..
[01:51] <ubuntununuub> no you know what would be fucking sick
[01:51] <ThatGuyOverThere> charles__: Never used Winamp, but Songbird is excellent and it probably has an extension for what you want.
[01:51] <charles__> i know winamp is for windows... hence "winamp-like"
[01:51] <ubuntununuub> if the ipad had swype keypoard
[01:51] <actionparsnip_> Charles__: banshee and amarok are pretty sweet too
[01:52] <ThatGuyOverThere> charles__: Definitely the best media player I've ever used for Linux. I've tried Banshee and Amarok and quite frankly thought they were weak.
[01:52] <chungachanga> hp hdx9000 anyone knows how to solve sound problem?
[01:52] <charles__> i need to write these down and sort through them to see which one works for me.. thanks fo r the suggestions guys :)
[01:52] <mudassarm30> anyone know the solution for mouse/keyboard problem in Ubuntu 9.10 ???
[01:52] <actionparsnip_> Jimisvrox1: best way to learn cli is to use it
[01:52] <chungachanga> no sound and driver is ok
[01:52] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Still there?
[01:52] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: I wouldnt really know what to expect performance wise from that chipset, but typically, I dont expect much performance from laptops in general
[01:53] <ThatGuyOverThere> Well, I know it's going to kinda suck, being an integrated card.
[01:53] <ThatGuyOverThere> But what makes me suspicious is that I get significantly worse performance with it using Ubuntu than with Windows.
[01:53] <ThatGuyOverThere> Which leads me to think it's a driver issue or something.
[01:53] <almostsix> Oh, duh. Solution to sshd problem: sudo. Thanks for the pointers though
[01:54] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: The only thing you can do is try the next version of ubuntu to see if things have improved, or ask in #intel-gfx. Also, make sure you arent running intense compiz effects like transparent cube, for example
[01:54] <actionparsnip_> ThatGuyOverThere: throw the output into websearch engines. You will find guides
[01:54] <Diastro> hi everyone!
[01:55] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: If I remember correctly, I had trouble playing HD video even with Compiz disabled... which I know my card is capable of because I can do it in Windows.
[01:55] <Diastro> I'm new, I'm looking for a place to get some tip on Ubuntu.... Got the basic running but now for the more challenging I need a bit help
[01:55] <PeterT> is this the most active channel on freenode?
[01:55] <sn00kie> I'm trying to build a livecd using remastersys from my parallels install.  Problem is my video resolution on the livecd is terrible.  It doesn't autoadapt to the video card like the regular install cd, anyone know why or can point me in the right direction?
[01:56] <ratbox_> right now? yes this is the most active channel, PeterT
[01:56] <Jeruvy> Diastro: this is a support channel, just ask you questions if anyone knows they'll respond.
[01:57] <actionparsnip_> Snookie: you will need to install / configure the driver in the livecd
[01:57] <linusoleander> Is there any way in ubuntu to get metadata from ASF files?
[01:57] <sn00kie> actionparsnip_: you know how?  Which driver?  What does the Livecd do to autedetect and does it have a copy of all the drivers?
[01:57] <actionparsnip_> ThatGuyOverThere: you need better settings for your display. What windows does or doesn't do is moot
[01:58] <actionparsnip_> Sn00kie: run: sudo lshw -C display
[01:58] <ThatGuyOverThere> actionparsnip: I'm just saying that's what leads me to believe it's not just that the graphics card sucks (which it does, but I'm still thinking I should be able to get some better performance).
[01:58] <actionparsnip_> Sn00kie: use the output to find guides
[01:58] <sn00kie> actionparsnip_: from the livecd?
[01:58] <uorygl_> Is it possible to make the characters a with macron and o with macron using the compose key?
[01:58] <actionparsnip_> Sn00kie: sure
[01:58] <ThatGuyOverThere> actionparsnip_: How do you mean with the display settings?
[01:59] <linusoleander> any one?
[01:59] <uorygl_> I can do ē, ī and ū, but not a and o; it makes ª and º or ã and õ when I try.
[01:59] <jon> hello
[01:59] <actionparsnip_> ThatGuyOverThere: paste the line outputted into seach engines and you will find guodes and / or bug reports
[02:00] <Dreamglider> how should i go about making harddisk images for multiple identical laptop's ? i need them all to be the same (School laptops)
[02:00] <sn00kie> Dreamglider: remastersys
[02:00] <ThatGuyOverThere> actionparsnip_: Alright, I take back what I said. Videos played more smoothly using Metacity instead of Compiz.
[02:00] <actionparsnip_> Dreamglider: partimage is one option
[02:01] <sn00kie> dreamglider: by far the easiest solution
[02:01] <CVD-PR> hey there
[02:01] <ThatGuyOverThere> actionparsnip_: Any way I can boost Compiz's resource efficiency...? I really can't stand Metacity.
[02:01] <charles__> okay, audacious it is... thanks again, folks :)
[02:01] <Dreamglider> is remastersys free ?
[02:01] <Dreamglider> is remastersys opensource ? *
[02:01] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: One thing you can do is increase the shared video ram
[02:01] <sn00kie> dreamglider: yes, one sec, I have a good reference for you
[02:01] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Like how?
[02:01] <aphedox> I can't get my sound to work correctly. I can hear the output faintly but it is overcome by extemely loud varying static noise. I just did a fresh install of 9.10 x64 and updated everything but my problem persisted. I have Intel HD Audio ALC889A. Works fine on Windows, and surprisingly on Haiku, despite the fact that its HD Audio drivers are extremely immature. I messed around with my previous ubuntu install a bit and removed pulse
[02:01] <aphedox> audio but I don't think that that was the problem. Any ideas?
[02:02] <actionparsnip_> ThatGuyOverThere: cut down the plugins drastically. I personally think com.piz is garbage. You can also ask in #compiz
[02:02] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Like very carefully :)
[02:02] <CVD-PR> Dreamglider, whats the difference
[02:02] <sn00kie> dreamglider: http://www.techradar.com/news/software/operating-systems/10-scripts-to-create-your-own-linux-distribution-665247
[02:02] <sn00kie> dreamglider: that was on dig the other day, pretty good rundown
[02:02] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Very funny. How do I do that?
[02:02] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Is this a hardware issue?
[02:02] <sn00kie> dreamglider: *digg
[02:02] <actionparsnip_> ThatGuyOverThere: i'd see if there are any guides for your chip to make it run better
[02:02] <soreau> actionparsnip_: Please do not say compiz is garbage. That is not true and also wreckless
[02:02] <Dreamglider> sn00kie: thanks i'll read up on that.
[02:02] <g0tcha> anyone can help me install my tv tuner?
[02:02] <sn00kie> dreamglider: no prob
[02:03] <actionparsnip_> Sn00kie: partimage will enable a ghost-like install method which is way easier than running an installer on each system
[02:03] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Intel gpus share your system ram, so you can tell it how much to allocate to the card
[02:03] <actionparsnip_> Soreau: I'm expressing an opinion which is fine and dandy
[02:03] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Your x log should tell you how much it is using by default
[02:03] <hiexpo> good evening everyone
[02:04] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: 'Splain. I don't know enough to be able to do that. Can you give me a step by step?
[02:04] <soreau> actionparsnip_: Im just asking for you not to say compiz is garbage. That offends me
[02:04] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Or give me a link to a guide? I'm not a novice with Linux but I'm also not super savvy.
[02:04] <sn00kie> actionparsnip_: good point
[02:04] <actionparsnip_> Soreau: didn't mean to offend you dude
[02:04] <wooshu> i need to find a extremely trustworthy, capable, and credible person who works at canonical.
[02:05] <actionparsnip_> !ot | Wooshu
[02:05] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Actually, you would have to look up the right option to set in xorg.conf. Perhaps man intel will tell you
[02:05] <kaddi> hi, I'm running kubuntu but noone in their channel seems to no about sound. I updated today and rebooted to install the latest kernel and no I have no more sound. What can I try to fix this?
[02:05] <kaddi> *know
[02:06] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: man intel? Is that a terminal command?
[02:06] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Yes
[02:06] <wooshu> actionparsnip_, are you a ubuntu endorsed staff ?
[02:06] <actionparsnip_> Soreau: funny how some systems still need xorg.conf yet ubuntu doesn't give a skeleton file to flesh out
[02:06] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: I believe it should open the intel driver manual and show you xorg.conf options available for it
[02:06] <kellopes> I need help to fix my wifi problem. I have a Atheros AR5001 that is not being recognized by ubuntu..
[02:06] <actionparsnip_> Wooshu: I'm not even an op. Do you have an ubuntu support uestion?
[02:06] <soreau> actionparsnip_: *shrug*
[02:06] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Thanks.
[02:06] <jason_> I'm running Lucid Lynx and having trouble with my mouse being inverted.  Can anyone give me a hand?
[02:07] <blakkheim> !lucid > jason_
[02:07] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: You can create a default xorg.conf file with Xorg -configure
[02:07] <blakkheim> kellopes: atheros chipsets work flawlessly in linux for me
[02:07] <hiexpo> jason_, - is that on a fresh install
[02:07] <blakkheim> kellopes: which module are you using for it?
[02:07] <actionparsnip_> Kellopes: same chip works out of the box here
[02:08] <hiexpo> jason_, - or was you messing around and got that?
[02:08] <actionparsnip_> Kellopes: its the reason I buy them
[02:08] <kellopes> blakkheim, actionparsnip_ guys.. it just doenst work for me..
[02:08] <soreau> kellopes: What do you mean not recognized?
[02:08] <actionparsnip_> Kellopes: are you fully updated?
[02:09] <blakkheim> kellopes: you didn't answer my question, how do you expect to get any help?
[02:09] <kellopes> soreau: i had windows move to linux and now i cant use my wifi
[02:09] <ThatGuyOverThere> sorea: Says in the manual it'll allocate 24MB by default if the system RAM is more than 192 MB.
[02:09] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: It seems to me that would definitely affect graphics performance. :)
[02:09] <kellopes> blakkheim: i will
[02:09] <hiexpo> jason if you want help you have to answer
[02:09] <soreau> kellopes: You need to elaborate. What is the output of:  lsmod|grep ath
[02:09] <sn00kie> actionparsnip_: looks like lshw -C display only gives me info about my current hardware.  I'm really looking to make my personal live cd adapt to the graphics card of the host system, similar to the ubuntu live disk
[02:10] <actionparsnip_> ThatGuyOverThere: I think there's an option to make it 'greedy' may help
[02:10] <kaddi> where could I get help for sound issues?
[02:10] <kellopes> blakkheim: i am new at linux how do i see the module?
[02:10] <hiexpo> kaddi, - whats wrong
[02:10] <actionparsnip_> Sn00kie: well now you know the display chip, you can websearch to find guides
[02:10] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Hey, now you might be getting somewhere. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see how much it is actually allocating
[02:10] <Xgates> what is the repo url for Karmic to get vlc? This is what I have ---> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ - Karmic - multiverse it's saying 404 not found
[02:11] <hunt> Hi, I want to install linux, mac os x and windows on one machine, I want to have one partition with my media files, which can be accessed by all operating systems, what file system should I use? NTFS? Fat?
[02:11] <blakkheim> kellopes: lsmod
[02:11] <actionparsnip_> Xgates: there's one by korn. Search for: vlc ppa
[02:11] <soreau> kellopes: This will tell you which module if any is loaded->  lsmod|grep ath
[02:11] <blakkheim> hunt: ntfs if you have any one file bigger than 4gb
[02:11] <sn00kie> actionparsnip_: Sorry, I think I'm not being clear.  The machine will change from system to system.  I would like the live cd to at least give me a decent resolution because my current solution with remastersys assumes the display of the machine I made the cd on
[02:11] <actionparsnip_> Hunt: i'd use ntfs
[02:11] <Xgates> actionparsnip_: I want the one from Karmic ---> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=vlc&searchon=names&suite=karmic&section=all
[02:12] <kellopes> soreau: your command doesnt give a output in my computer
[02:12] <actionparsnip_> Xgates: are you running karmic?
[02:12] <hiexpo> triple partion your asking for it
[02:12] <soreau> kellopes: Ok, pastebin the output of lspci|grep -i ath
[02:12] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Assuming I can figure out how to allocate more memory, what would be a high enough amount without affecting my CPU speed?
[02:12] <hunt> Thanks
[02:12] <blakkheim> soreau: thats the wrong command
[02:12] <Xgates> actionparsnip_: actually I'm on Mint and want to put in the karmic universe repo, do you know the URL to use?
[02:13] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: I mean without DRASTICALLY affecting my CPU speed, obviously.
[02:13] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: You would have to experiment, I have no idea. Probably depends on your available system ram
[02:13] <sn00kie> actionparsnip_: In other words, I'm taking this live cd on a new system, and the livecd only has the driver of the system I crafted the disk on.  I want it to act like the ubuntu live cd where it doesn't care what driver is installed for xorg, and figures it out on the fly.
[02:13] <actionparsnip_> !mint | xgates
[02:13] <soreau> blakkheim: He already said lsmod|grep ath showed no output, so I want to make sure at least lspci shows the card before instructing him to load the module
[02:13] <Xgates> actionparsnip_: simple question do you KNOW the Karmic Universe Repo URL? yes or no?
[02:13] <actionparsnip_> Sn00kie: then install the driver but don't configure xorg.conf and it should be fine
[02:14] <actionparsnip_> Xgates: no
[02:14] <blakkheim> soreau: makes sense, ignore what i said then
[02:14] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: I've got 4 GB RAM.
[02:14] <Xgates> ok that's all I wanted to know... ;p
[02:14] <w3b4> memoria not 1g
[02:14] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: But I will experiment.
[02:14] <soreau> kellopes: Please show the output of lspci|grep -i ath
[02:14] <actionparsnip_> Xgates: I wouldn't mix mint with karmic, you'll get a mess
[02:14] <sn00kie> actionparsnip_: you mean just remove my xorg.conf ?
[02:14] <w3b4> apenas 27 reais
[02:14] <actionparsnip_> Xgates: your distribution isn't supported here
[02:14] <kellopes> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m614578d8
[02:14] <kellopes> soreau, blakkheim: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m614578d8
[02:15] <gerrin> just did an update and now my laptop wont connect to my wireless network
[02:15] <Xgates> actionparsnip_: sorry you don't know what you're talking about Mint Helena Uses Karmic all Mint versions USE the Ubuntu repos :)
[02:15] <gerrin> any ideas on how i can fix that
[02:15] <od3n> does anyone know how to get mp4 clips to play on ubuntu
[02:15] <soreau> kellopes: Ok, now do sudo modprobe ath5k
[02:15] <Xgates> anyhow, I'm not a noob just wanted to ask a simple question without a lecture on Linux :)
[02:15] <actionparsnip_> Sn00kie: just rename it, karmic and later do not need it unless you need special settings
[02:15] <sexcells> ubuntu sucks lmao
[02:15] <Khodok> Hi guys, I need some help here... I need to have abrowser and firefox at the same time, but they can't be installed together. What can be done with it?
[02:16] <actionparsnip_> Xgates: your distro still isn't supported here. Mint has its own channel
[02:16] <sn00kie> actionparsnip_: I'm terribly sorry, I'm not following
[02:16] <kellopes> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m300eed6f
[02:16] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: I'm looking at Xorg.0.log here. Where might it tell me how much memory it's allocating?
[02:16] <coldcog> sn00kie: what are you trying to do?
[02:16] <Xgates> actionparsnip_: I'm not asking for support I'm asking for the Karmic Universe repo URL
[02:16] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: If you want to pastebin it I could look I guess.. it can be somewhat cryptic
[02:16] <kellopes> soreau: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m300eed6f
[02:17] <blakkheim> kellopes: paste the output of ifconfig -a
[02:17] <kellopes> soreau: while we were talking my wireless conection showed here..
[02:17] <soreau> kellopes: Ah, where did you get the output from which command?
[02:17] <Xgates> can someone be kind enough to look at their repo URLS and give me the Karmic Universe repo url?
[02:17] <actionparsnip_> Xgates: this channel is support ONLY. Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:17] <ekristen> I have always been a big fan of ubuntu but I am about to jump ship ... does xorg on ubuntu just ignore changes made to the xorg.conf file? ubuntu refused to recognize my monitor and then when I go and add in the modes manually it never gives those to me as an option to switch to, only 800x600 and 640x480, this is getting a little annoying, and apparently xorg will run without an xorg.conf in /etc/X11?? wtf
[02:17] <kellopes> soreau: i appreciate your help.. but i need to go now..
[02:17] <ekristen> or am I just missing something
[02:17] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Y'know what, I'll see what Google can turn up first and then get back to you if I need help. Thanks.
[02:17] <kellopes> can i talk to you tomorrow?
[02:17] <sn00kie> coldog: I have a ubuntu installation on my disk that I'm trying to use remastersys with.  I got through everything fine.  The only problem is, when I boot the image on another machine, the X server is all messed up.  My question is, what can I do to make my 'custom live cd' act like the 'ubuntu live cd' and adapt to any video card in the system (even loading compiz if supported)
[02:17] <kellopes> soreau: can i talk to you tomorrow?
[02:17] <soreau> kellopes: Maybe, just ping me
[02:18] <blizzow> I have to do some legacy testing  on an edgy box and need a package, but can't find any edgy archives.  Anyone know of a working edgy mirror?
[02:18] <kellopes> soreau: how do i ping you
[02:18] <sn00kie> coldog: right now it's assuming the video card in the system I created the disk on
[02:18] <actionparsnip_> Sn00kie: hopefully udev and hal will detect the hardware and use the right driver
[02:18] <coldcog> ekristen: you mean it doesnt have the res you want?
[02:18] <Khodok> Guys, please help me with that firefox issue! :)
[02:18] <ekristen> coldcog: yes
[02:18] <blakkheim> !please | Khodok
[02:18] <gerrin> just did an update to version 9.10, now cant connect to my wireless network, how can i fix it
[02:18] <coldcog> ekristen: have you edited an xorg before? or used HAL?
[02:19] <norzb> does anyone know why a dvd burner would only burn at 0.2x
[02:19] <sn00kie> coldog: it isn't the resolution is stuck at some small resolution and there is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11
[02:19] <capron> Khodok, uppdate firefox problem solved :-)
[02:19] <CVD-PR> how to if my ubuntu is 32 or 64 bit?
[02:19] <ekristen> I have a lot of experience editing xorg.conf on redhat, centos, freebsd systems
[02:19] <ekristen> xorg is usually xorg ;)
[02:19] <iAmerikan> CVD-PR, uname -a
[02:19] <actionparsnip_> Ekristen: you will need to run: lspci | grep VGA
[02:19] <sn00kie> coldog: I should mention the machine this is being made on is a parallels machine
[02:19] <soreau> kellopes: Just type my nick like you are doing now
[02:19] <blakkheim> CVD-PR: uname -m
[02:19] <coldcog> sn00kie: so you dont have an xorg.conf?
[02:19] <soreau> oh well
[02:19] <sn00kie> coldog: no not after booting into my custom live cd
[02:20] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: yup, got it
[02:20] <actionparsnip_> ekristen: you will see your video chip and you can find guides
[02:20] <coldcog> ekristen: you probly know more about it than me then :p
[02:20] <Khodok> capron, the thing is that abrowser & firefox packages conflict with each other, can I tell them to ignore each other?
[02:20] <CVD-PR> i686
[02:20] <actionparsnip_> Ekristen: if its nvidia based then: gksu jockey-gtk will offer you a driver
[02:20] <blakkheim> CVD-PR: 32bit then
[02:20] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: This guide I'm looking at here says I can increase the allocation from the BIOS. Would that work?
[02:20] <ekristen> it is nvidia based
[02:21] <Khodok> capron, I used icecat instead of abrowser, but it got ruined with version 3.6 and doesn't work
[02:21] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: the monitor is hooked up via a kvm, before it was hooked up via kvm and directly to the system it worked fine
[02:21] <CVD-PR> blacksun,  if it was 64, how it showit
[02:21] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Not sure how to explain the better video performance in Windows if it's a BIOS issue... but then I guess Windows wasn't runnig Compiz either...?
[02:21] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: AFAIK, you need to tell X through xorg.conf
[02:21] <ekristen> now it is giving me issues
[02:21] <robtow> HOw can I find the source for the zd1211 driver used in Ubuntu 9.04?
[02:21] <actionparsnip_> Ekristen: great. Nvidia love linux
[02:21] <capron> Khodok I think you have too choose what too run.
[02:21] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: definitely
[02:21] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Okay. I'll keep looking.
[02:22] <actionparsnip_> Ekristen: run: gksu nvidia-settings
[02:22] <norzb> does anyone know why a dvd burner would max out at only 0.2x
[02:22] <DaZ> nvidia drivers aren't too good actualy
[02:22] <actionparsnip_> ekristen: setup the display and click Write to X config file
[02:22] <DaZ> but at least work.
[02:22] <arand> ThatGuyOverThere: Hmm, are you running 32bit?
[02:23] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: I get nothing
[02:23] <ekristen> the command runs
[02:23] <DMJC> Daz if by work you mean constantly lock up
[02:23] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: You see in the man page where it talks about the VideoRam Option?
[02:23] <ekristen> prompted for password
[02:23] <CVD-PR> when 32bit gonna die
[02:23] <ekristen> then returned to prompt
[02:23] <blakkheim> CVD-PR: never!
[02:23] <actionparsnip_> Ekristen: run it in terminal: do you get any errors'
[02:23] <ekristen> no
[02:23] <DMJC> if ATi runs less stuff but runs 100% of the time
[02:23] <DMJC> then ATi is better than nvidia
[02:23] <ThatGuyOverThere> I didn't get that far, to tell you the truth. :) I'll check it out.
[02:24] <DaZ> DMJC: mine run just fine.
[02:24] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: You see in the man page where it talks about the VideoRam Option?
[02:24] <DMJC> which runs a lot of stuff but only 30% of the time
[02:24] <u19809> guys when Istart a console and run 'set' i see MANY functions in the environment of bash ... what are they doing there ?
[02:24] <DMJC> I keep getting freezing in games
[02:24] <DMJC> and it's all GPU related
[02:24] <DMJC> happenned on two gpus as well
[02:24] <actionparsnip_> ekristen: use 1 monitor direct connected and use the gksu nvidia-settings
[02:24] <nick_h> why might running "synclient TouchpadOff=1" not change the value of TouchpadOff? before and after running that, "synclient -l" says TouchpadOff=2
[02:24] <gerrin> new to ubuntu, do i need an antivirus software like I would if i were using windows
[02:24] <DMJC> gerrin: no
[02:24] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: 1 monitor via kvm
[02:24] <B3rz3rk3r> gerrin, no
[02:24] <ekristen> dsub connection
[02:24] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: This means you would put something the following in the Device section of your xorg.conf:  Option "VideoRam" "128"
[02:25] <DaZ> gerrin: you don't need it yet and there isn't anything good anyway.
[02:25] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: For example
[02:25] <norzb> does anyone know why a dvd burner will only burn at 200 kb/s
[02:25] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Okay. Thanks.
[02:25] <actionparsnip_> ekristen: whatever makes it work, write the settings to the x config file then reboot with everything hooked up right. Might help
[02:25] <coldcog> gerrin: you can get it though, but mostly to protect windows machines you may be networked with
[02:25] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: gotcha I will give it a shot, everything worked great before switching to the kvm
[02:25] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: so I don't have much faith
[02:25] <actionparsnip_> Norzb: check it is using dma
[02:26] <blakkheim> gerrin: not unless you are running a mailserver
[02:26] <gerrin> ok another question, is there anyway i can get windows based programs to work on unbuntu
[02:26] <gerrin> no im not
[02:26] <blakkheim> !wine > gerrin
[02:26] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: it appears ubuntu doesn't want to honor what is written in the xorg.conf file
[02:26] <arand> nick_h: I'm not sure if the gconf-key /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/off might overrride? (Just a guess)
[02:26] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: and it says this option is now ignored for 830 and later chips :P
[02:26] <actionparsnip_> ekristen: not something I've used tbh
[02:26] <norzb> actionparsnip_: where would I check that
[02:26] <DaZ> gerrin: wine or virtual machine
[02:26] <actionparsnip_> Ekristen: it will if the file exists
[02:26] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: How do I know if I have such a chip?
[02:26] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: I have even deleted the xorg.conf and restarted gdm and xorg starts find without an xorg.conf or without generating a default one
[02:26] <actionparsnip_> Norzb: sudo hdparm /dev/sr0
[02:27] <actionparsnip_> Oops
[02:27] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: well seeming how 9.10 installer won't see my hard drive, but the previous version does, and now the xorg issues I am loosing faith in ubuntu
[02:27] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: So is your main problem video playback? If so, which player and vo method are you using for the player?
[02:27] <actionparsnip_> Norz : sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sr0
[02:28] <ekristen> actionparsnip_: thanks for the help, I will mess this crap some more, I will probably be back later
[02:28] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Video playback is the main problem, yes. Graphics also look jagged in Compiz and are sometimes choppy.
[02:28] <actionparsnip_> Ekristen: can always use hardy if it worked for you. Its still very supported
[02:28] <razertek> ekristen: are you having trouble with a harddrive not being recognized?
[02:28] <dane> im new to irc what are some popular interesting channels
[02:28] <norzb> actionparsnip_:inapproriate ioctl for device
[02:28] <nick_h> arand: i'm using kubuntu, actually
[02:28] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: But as I said, I just tried switching to Metacity a couple minutes ago and did actually get much better video performance.
[02:29] <actionparsnip_> Norzb: I'm gonna hit the hay. Look into checking its using dma. You may need a firmware upgrade (risky)
[02:29] <sontek> How do I figure out whatapplication is listening on a port
[02:29] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: What about part b of my question?
[02:29] <razertek> actionparsnip_: are you pretty good with smb.conf?
[02:29] <nick_h> arand: ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/%gconf.xml exists. would it be used in KDE, though?
[02:29] <DMJC> metacity has a tendancy to lock up
[02:30] <actionparsnip_> Razertek: somewhat
[02:30] <sontek> netstat -a shows i'm listening on that port, but I want to figure out what app is doing the listening
[02:30] <norzb> actionparsnip_: everywhere some tell me to get the firmware but no one tels me where to get it
[02:30] <actionparsnip_> Norzb: sudo lshw -C disk
[02:30] <arand> nick_h: I don't think so, I don't know much/anything about kde stuff.
[02:30] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Seems like a moot point to me... If I get better graphics performance with Metacity than with Compiz, I'm betting it's just a matter of not having enough video ram.
[02:30] <razertek> actionparsnip_: is the network manager intended to work with samba and smb.conf or do i need to add eth0 to interface file
[02:31] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: But to answer your question, it does this with any video player.
[02:31] <actionparsnip_> Norzb: will tell you the exact model. Get the firmware for that exact model
[02:31] <mudassarm30> how to downgrade the ubuntu 9.10 kernal so that mouse/keyboard freeze problem may be solved while booting
[02:31] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: That includes streaming video, i.e. YouTube.
[02:31] <norzb> actionparsnip_: it didnt show anything
[02:31] <actionparsnip_> Razertek: network manager is nothing to do with smb.conf
[02:31] <actionparsnip_> Norzb: give it time
[02:31] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Try this for a test: mplayer -zoom -vo xv /path/to/your/video.ext
[02:32] <tutuca> hi
[02:32] <actionparsnip_> Razertek: network manager handles networks and network settings. Smb.conf manages samba shares and samba settings
[02:32] <g0_> Hi, Is it possible to delete and unmount extended partitions without losing all your data, and having to create a new partition table? When I book into the live cd, the extended directory is still locked and I cant merge the space into other ext4 partitions
[02:33] <actionparsnip_> Mudassarm30: select the older kernel from grub
[02:33] <afroman> hello. how do I get back the "sound preferences"? I lost it
[02:33] <razertek> actionparsnip_: but if i add eth0 to interface file then i have manually configured the networking which will allow the smb.conf to work properly...but the thing is i want to use network manager which you can only do one or the other (interface file)
[02:33] <norzb> actionparsnip_: it went through a list of interfaces and then brought me back to control i already ran it twice
[02:33] <tutuca> anyone having troubles getting on msn with empathy, there has been a couple of days since it started throwing "network error"
[02:33] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: That seems like it might be better.
[02:34] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: But to get Compiz effects to work better I'm still going to need more video RAM allocation, no?
[02:34] <afroman> how do I get back the "sound preferences"? I lost it
[02:35] <morphix> razertek: you still need eth0 configured somewhat in /etc/network/interfaces
[02:35] <actionparsnip_> Razertek: if you add an eth0 entry to interfaces it will not be managable by network manager. Weather you use interfaces or network manager has no bearing on smb.conf
[02:35] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: It is not hard and fast guarantee compiz will absolutely run better if you increase the shared video ram
[02:35] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: But wouldn't that make video performance better in general?
[02:36] <faultyground> Hey all.  Hope everyone is having a good evening.  I have a (hopefully simple) question regarding accessing windows documents folders from ubuntu.  Im unable to find anything in the "Documents and Settings" folder.  Help?
[02:36] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: but it is worth a try. Id start by using the VideoRam option, which incidentally the man page says the values are in kb I believe then make sure the option is actually being used and not ignored, by checking your X log
[02:36] <razertek> actionparsnip_: how is that?...morphix: i am using lo in interfaces...the default setup
[02:36] <norzb> actionparsnip_: can I use the model number from newegg where i purchased it
[02:36] <morphix> the default setup still has 1 or 2 lines for eth0
[02:37] <actionparsnip_> Norzb: if it is sufficient and gets you where you need to go then sure
[02:37] <norzb> actionparsnip_:ok and then wat google that
[02:37] <Veggie> anybody know i can play this live-radio without using webbrowser?  http://corusmedia.media.streamtheworld.com/player/Player.htm?id=cknwam&city=Vancouver&bdskey=&url=http://www.cknw.com&platform=EMMISAM&active=true
[02:37] <actionparsnip_> Razertek: all you need is the loopback device in there. The rest can be configured with networkmanager/wicd/whatever
[02:38] <razertek> morphix: auto lo iface lo inet loopback is all that is in there
[02:38] <morphix> razertek: enter this in /etc/network/interfaces which i currently have setup
[02:38] <morphix> auto eth0
[02:38] <morphix> iface eth0 inet manual
[02:38] <morphix> thats it
[02:38] <FloodBot3> morphix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:38] <actionparsnip_> Norzb: i'd use a conjunction of both to make searches better. Try a few search engines too
[02:38] <soreau> Veggie: Many players can play audio streams. Have you tried totem?
[02:38] <morphix> wait
[02:38] <morphix> remove the "iface eth0 inet manual"
[02:38] <morphix> just have "auto eth0"
[02:39] <razertek> morphix: 1 min
[02:39] <Veggie> soreau  yes i know: but what do i put as  streamURL
[02:39] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Can't find my xorg.conf file. Where is it for Karmic?
[02:39] <morphix> once you've added "auto eth0" then log out and log back in
 ThatGuyOverThere: You can create a default xorg.conf file with Xorg -configure
[02:40] <razertek> morphix: http://pastebin.com/m4de4f941
[02:40] <g0tcha> so is there anyway to install a tv tuner in ubuntu or is it just a waste?
[02:40] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Open drivers dont need a conf file since X is good enough at guessing what you need mostly
[02:40] <nomnex> Open Office 3.1. question. Do I need Java if I run Base as a front end with postgresql?
[02:40] <morphix> razertek: thats samba
[02:40] <CAPcap> can someone walk me though downgrading wine 1.1.37 back to 1.1.36?
[02:41] <razertek> morphix: if i add auto eth0 to interfaces then that means i have configured network manually and cannot use network manager which is not what i want
[02:41] <morphix> razertek: NO
[02:41] <morphix> if you just add auto eth0 WITHOUT any other lines
[02:41] <morphix> it works with network manager
[02:41] <morphix> i have that setup right now
[02:41] <morphix> and it is working with network manager
[02:42] <CVD-PR> how can i search for a package snaptic on the terminal
[02:42] <minimec> g0tcha: http://www.linuxtv.org/
[02:42] <Guest53339> I can anyone help me find backtrack repository for ubuntu 9.10 64bit thank
[02:42] <Veggie> anybody know i can play this live-radio without using webbrowser?  http://corusmedia.media.streamtheworld.com/player/Player.htm?id=cknwam&city=Vancouver&bdskey=&url=http://www.cknw.com&platform=EMMISAM&active=true
[02:42] <razertek> morphix: should i keep the lo lines in there too and just add auto eth0?
[02:42] <morphix> yes
[02:42] <razertek> k one sec
[02:42] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Are you saying I don't already have an xorg.conf file?
[02:42] <dane> whois razertek
[02:43] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: No, quite the opposite
 ThatGuyOverThere: You can create a default xorg.conf file with Xorg -configure
[02:43] <razertek> dane:  me
[02:43] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Why do I have to create a default one? Why can't I just edit the one I've got?
[02:43] <norzb> actionparsnip_: could i use the windows firmware?
[02:43] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Because you dont have one
 ThatGuyOverThere: Open drivers dont need a conf file since X is good enough at guessing what you need mostly
[02:44] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: How do you know...?
[02:44] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Okay.
[02:44] <istvan> hey, i'm having trouble installing grub (has error on boot) but all of the guides online end up in some error, can someone help me please?
[02:45] <error404notfound> is there an easy way to redirect *.domain.com to say 192.168.1.1 instead of public IP?
[02:46] <razertek> morphix: it says when i do a networking restart ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0
[02:46] <g0tcha> minimec, even if the drivers are not installed, it should show if i type ls /dev/ | grep video , right?
[02:46] <DaZ> error404notfound: /etc/hosts? :f
[02:46] <morphix> razertek: your device IS eth0 correct?
[02:46] <error404notfound> DaZ, do i have to add 25 entries to 3 systems? :P
[02:46] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: Alright, running Xorg -configure gives me "Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0."
[02:46] <axisys> any idea why this rc.local does not run during reboot? http://pastebin.com/d6111e5f9
[02:46] <razertek> morphix: yes
[02:46] <morphix> try rebooting
[02:47] <minimec> g0tcha: Probably not. /dev/videoX is only registred, when the driver was loaded correctly.
[02:47] <Guest53339> plz help me find backtrack repos fot ubuntu 9.10
[02:47] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: ok, hang on
[02:47] <blakkheim> Guest53339: this is not the place for that
[02:47] <g0tcha> minimec, its an unboard composite tv tuner, how can i know which drivers it would need?
[02:47] <Coachj> does anyone know if 8000 frames every 5 sec is a decent rate for my ati 9000 card?
[02:47] <Alan502> Please i need urgent help!!! My kde(i'm using kubuntu) freaked out after logging in with fluxbox. After logging of fluxbox i chose kde again but now it's black with the mouse as the only thing visible!
[02:48] <CAPcap> can someone walk me though downgrading wine 1.1.37 back to 1.1.36?
[02:48] <razertek> morphix: k brb
[02:48] <blakkheim> CAPcap: uninstall it, dl the source of that version, compile it
[02:48] <CAPcap> ...
[02:48] <istvan> help with grub?
[02:48] <Alan502> CAPcap: there might also be a .deb for that version
[02:49] <DaZ> Coachj: glxgears is not a benchmark [;
[02:49] <jiohdi> Alan502: chose gnome or something else, create a new account and then start that with kde... erase the old account
[02:49] <CAPcap> i think there is on launchpad i just dont know what to do
[02:49] <CAPcap> do I have to uninstall it?
[02:49] <minimec> g0tcha: try to use the commands 'lspci' and 'lsusb' to list all pci and usb devices. Then use 'dmesg and scroll through the messages to find any errors for the device.
[02:49] <blakkheim> CAPcap: yes
[02:49] <Coachj> Daz: what should i use?
[02:49] <CAPcap> crapples.
[02:49] <Alan502> jiohdi: my install is kubuntu originally so i don't have any other wm
[02:49] <CAPcap> ok thanks you guys
[02:50] <jiohdi> Alan502: you can go to a terminal in recovery if necessary and apt-get install gnome
[02:50] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Does it make one if you do? sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[02:50] <soreau> ThatGuyOverThere: Well I guess X cant be running when you issue this command for whatever reason
[02:50] <Coachj> DaZ: what should i use?
[02:50] <DaZ> Coachj: who knows
[02:50] <Alan502> jiohdi: this happened exactly yesterday, but "killall kwin; kwin --replace" helped for a bit. I had to reboot but now it doesn't :(
[02:50] <DaZ> Coachj: doom,quake,unreal? {;
[02:51] <Yoha> help pls - tried installing 9.10 to a usb key drive but did not click on advanced button and now have grub on hdd not usb drive. how to restore vista boot loader and install grub to keydrive so it can work in more than one pc???
[02:51] <trism> CAPcap: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html
[02:51] <DaZ> always better.
[02:51] <razertek> morphix: same thing
[02:51] <Alan502> jiohdi: i want my kde back :( gnome will also take loong to download with my internet connection
[02:51] <CAPcap> trism what is that?
[02:51] <Coachj> DaZ: it will barley run Urban Terror
[02:51] <pilif12p> I cant fing the right package for libpcap
[02:51] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: So...
[02:51] <trism> CAPcap: the archive of all the old deb versions
[02:51] <CAPcap> oh nevermind i see
[02:51] <pilif12p> what is it?
[02:51] <jiohdi> Alan502: you might try apt-get kde4
[02:51] <morphix> what the?
[02:51] <CAPcap> thank you very much trism
[02:51] <morphix> what does network manager say?
[02:51] <jiohdi> apt-get install kde4 that is
[02:52] <Alan502> jiohdi: will that download all the kde packages?
[02:52] <razertek> morphix: shows i am connected as usual
[02:52] <jiohdi> Alan502: only if its broken, otherwise it will tell you that everything is ok
[02:53] <Alan502> jiohdi: oh shit, how heavy is it?
[02:53] <scotty^> Hi all
[02:53] <jiohdi> Alan502: how heavy is what?
[02:53] <Alan502> jiohdi: i mean how big is it
[02:53] <ThatGuyOverThere> soreau: What do I do, then...?
[02:53] <jiohdi> Alan502: dont know
[02:53] <scotty^> I'm trying to help a couple of people in launchpad bug 509652
[02:53] <Alan502> jiohdi: kde4 how big ist?
[02:53] <razertek> morphix: in the edit connections it says under last used...never
[02:54] <jaredmccorkindal> can anyone explain what "failed to mount windows share" means?
[02:54] <jiohdi> Alan502: dont know... its very big for dial up
[02:54] <morphix> razertek: does it atleast list eth0?
[02:54] <Alan502> jiohdi: "couldn't find package kde4"
[02:54] <razertek> yes
[02:54] <jiohdi> jaredmccorkindal: it means your windows partition is not accessible
[02:54] <Alan502> jiohdi: mine is slower than dial up :(
[02:54] <scotty^> Have the full-bleed printing settings changed between Jaunty and Karmic?
[02:54] <morphix> are you able to click 'edit' on it?
[02:54] <jiohdi> Alan502: try kde
[02:54] <jaredmccorkindal> jiohdi: what can I do to make it accessible
[02:55] <razertek> morphix:  yes
[02:55] <morphix> go to edit
[02:55] <morphix> and then up the top is "connect automatically"
[02:55] <jiohdi> jaredmccorkindal: sorry, noob here, dont know enough to assist
[02:55] <razertek> k
[02:55] <Alan502> jiohdi: you, that are lucky to have you GUI working, could you look in your synaptic how is it exactly named please =]
[02:55] <jaredmccorkindal> same here
[02:55] <nox9_> ktos z pl??
[02:55] <razertek> morphix: it is already selected
[02:55] <Alan502> and by the way, does anyone have any other idea FIXING MY KDE?
[02:55] <jiohdi> Alan502: one moment :)
[02:56] <uorygl_> I'm using a laptop; I notice that there's no battery indicator in the upper right corner among the other indicators. I seem to remember the battery being strangely absent from /proc or /var, or something.
[02:56] <DaZ> Alan502: move ~/.kde and see if anything changes
[02:56] <DaZ> Alan502: and pastebin ~/.xsession-errors
[02:56] <g0tcha> minimec, this is my dmesg http://pastebin.com/m319edd6c
[02:57] <Alan502> DaZ: i'm on irssi :(
[02:57] <Diastro> Hey guys, I installed compiz setting manager, when I change so of its options under Unbuntu 9.1 nothing happens, am I missing something?
[02:57] <DaZ> Alan502: so? :f
[02:57] <Alan502> DaZ: how do i "move" ~/.kde?
[02:57] <DaZ> Alan502: mv?
[02:57] <gbear14275> what is the command to list the groups on my computer and the command to add a user to a group?

[02:59] <uorygl_> Alan502: I think you would find it useful to know how to suspend a process, run some other commands, and then resume the process.

[03:00] <Dr_Willis> Guest94358:  does it work with Cheese?
[03:01] <Alan502> uorygl_: how so?
[03:01] <Guest94358> its built into my laptop
[03:01] <uorygl_> Alan502: well, you would be able to leave irssi, run a command, and then come back to it.
[03:01] <gbear14275> scotty^: in regard to that error? or just to add users to groups...

[03:07] <Guest78113> register gifted giftedghoul@gmail.com
[03:08] <gbear14275> any virt ninjas out there
[03:08] <IdleOne> tiger2wander: python-m2crypto I believe is what you want
[03:08] <dean4watch> yeah
[03:08] <gbear14275> dean4watch: seen this before by chance?http://paste.ubuntu.com/364282/
[03:09] <dean4watch> what does it contain?
[03:09] <g0tcha> minimec, hmm i dont think its reconizing the right one.. because i have the graphic card which has dvi+hdmi out and has s-video in.. and in the front is another card that uses composite, thats what i want to use
[03:09] <gbear14275> thats the error message I run into when I try and create a new VM with lvm storage
[03:10] <Alan502> DaZ, uorygl_ jiohdi  okay, so i moved .kde and rebooted. Now i have kde with default config :D but all the panels are on my second screen, not on my primary screen althought nvidia-settings are correct.
[03:10] <g0tcha> cuz ive tried with both video0 and vbi0 and they both dont work
[03:10] <gbear14275> dean4watch: I know it has to do with insufficient permissions... but don't know how to resolve it
[03:10] <chungachanga> have problem, my sound not working, ubuntu has problem with my sound card rv630/m76 radeon hd2600
[03:10] <jiohdi> Alan502: sorry, beyond my knowledge
[03:10] <david__> Does anyone know how to install Compiz proprelY? I tryed, but My compiz setting isnt simply having no effects...
[03:11] <jesse2> Hello.  I primarily use gnome, but when i load up KDE, my screenlets (which i use in gnome) still auto load on KDE.  is there a way i can have them autoload on gnome but not kde?
[03:11]  * JCC_Starguy is digging on ubuntu on my old HP laptop and on my PS3!
[03:11] <david__> JCC_Starguy, : Doing the same :P
[03:11] <gerrin> just installed a windows program using wine, but now having problems running said programming , any hints?
[03:11] <chungachanga> have problem, my sound not working, ubuntu has problem with my sound card rv630/m76 radeon hd2600
[03:11] <jiohdi> jesse2: what are screenlets?
[03:11] <jimisrvrox> hey guys I am trying to get my wireless card working on 9.04 rt2500 and I went through tyring to set it up via cli and am stuck when I try dhclient and end up with NODHCP offers received if somebody can help I would appreciate it thank you
[03:11] <JCC_Starguy> gerrin, depends on the application. Which one?
[03:11] <tiger2wander> IdleOne, I have search package using apt-cache command and installed it but script still through error "ImportError: No module named request"
[03:12] <tiger2wander> while I'm trying to use: "import urllib.request, urllib.error"
[03:12] <gerrin> its the Grand Theft Auto: Vice CIty Game
[03:12] <jesse2> jiohdi: screenlets are little apps that are on your desktop
[03:13] <jesse2> like clock calendar, etc.  similar to what kde and windows have
[03:13] <JCC_Starguy> gerrin, not every Windows prog will run on Wine. Have you looked at www.winehq.org?
[03:13] <gerrin> no, but i will
[03:13] <jiohdi> jesse2: since I am new and dont know all the ins and outs, if I wanted to do what you want to do, I would just create another account for the kde
[03:13] <chungachanga> have problem, my sound not working, ubuntu has problem with my sound card rv630/m76 radeon hd2600
[03:14] <jesse2> jiohdi: thanks... but im gonna see if there is another fix.  by the way, here is the screenlets website: http://www.screenlets.org
[03:14] <jesse2> try it, you might like it
[03:14] <JCC_Starguy> gerrin, the applications page will tell you if it will work or not and often someone will post how they got something to work.
[03:14] <dean4watch> simply don't use KDE4 - it's sucks.

[03:15] <JCC_Starguy> happyface0: a little. Why?
[03:15] <tiger2wander> IdleOne, :(
[03:15] <un214> happyface0: yeah, too much in hunting strange performance problems that finally went away when we leveled vmware and reloaded on bare metal
[03:16] <IdleOne> tiger2wander: try asking in #python perhaps

[03:17] <chungachanga> have problem, my sound not working, ubuntu has problem with my sound card rv630/m76 radeon hd2600
[03:17] <JCC_Starguy> Gerrin, I found your game GTA:VC on the apps DB page on the Wine site. It's rated as platinum so you should be able to get it to run.
[03:17] <DaZ> plasma was annoying few releases ago
[03:17] <DaZ> now it's pretty usable [;
[03:17] <RiotingPacifist> Im playing with a custom kernel, all the devices are spotted in dmesg, but there is not /dev/sd*, any idea what im missing?
[03:17] <Zer> Something I've been wondering for a while: Is there any reason, any reason at all not to delete the built-in users gnats, irc, mail, list, blah blah, as well as about half of the built-in groups?
[03:18] <ouyes> !ati
[03:18] <RiotingPacifist> btw how on earth can i read logs from busybox, i ended up greping by time, because i cant scroll up/down the screen
[03:19] <obscurant1st> is there any way for installing firefox 3.6 in karmic using the apt-get?
[03:19] <obscurant1st> i dont want the pre release version.
[03:19] <jesse2> obscurant1st: good question... i dont think they made a package yet
[03:20] <obscurant1st> whatever i try the firefox 3.6.1 pre is getting installed
[03:20] <ouyes> hi, i am using 9.10 and 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series [1002:95c4], which driver should i use ?
[03:20] <obscurant1st> oh jesse2: thx for the info?
[03:20] <scotty^> Firefox 3.6 is in the repos for Lucid
[03:20] <jesse2> haha no prob :-P sorry
[03:20] <obscurant1st> so its always late like this?
[03:20] <jesse2> scotty^: whats the lucid repos?
[03:20] <idgfhH> Hey, has anyone else noticed Ubuntu being exceedingly slow?
[03:21] <obscurant1st> idgfhH: no, its not slow
[03:21] <obscurant1st> for me its fatser than win7.
[03:21] <RiotingPacifist> obscurant1st: are you on 64bit ?
[03:21] <Stefan91> serbia
[03:21] <IdleOne> !lucid | jesse2
[03:21] <Stefan91> serbia
[03:21] <scotty^> If you install Lucid (or run it from a live CD), you can update to Firefox 3.6 easily
[03:21] <JCC_Starguy> idg: I've never had one bit of trouble with Ubuntu.
[03:21] <Stefan91> serbia
[03:21] <jesse2> ah, i see :-D
[03:21] <idgfhH> obscurant1st: it seizes up if I try to run anything alongside firefox

[03:21] <IdleOne> Stefan91: stop!
[03:21] <obscurant1st> RiotingPacifist, my proc is 64 bit but ubuntu is 32 only..
[03:21] <jesse2> What program can i use to have applications load as soon as i start gnome?
[03:22] <idgfhH> jesse2: System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications ?
[03:22] <JCC_Starguy> I have jaunty as a 64 bit version.
[03:22] <jesse2> danke
[03:22] <idgfhH> bitte
[03:22] <ouyes> i want to play video games under linux so i need the OPENGL support, which driver should i use?
[03:22] <RiotingPacifist> obscurant1st: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ubuntuzilla/index.php?title=Main_Page, there may be other ways but i've heard good things from 32bit users for ubuntuzilla
[03:23] <obscurant1st> idgfhH, I am using Karmic, its just awesome.
[03:23] <RiotingPacifist> ouyes: what graphics card do you have
[03:23] <obscurant1st> Iam loving it.
[03:23] <obscurant1st> RiotingPacifist, let me try it..
[03:23] <obscurant1st> thx for the link
[03:23] <obscurant1st> :SD
[03:23] <scotty^> ubottu: I've been using the Lucid alpha 2 live CD for several weeks now.  It's pretty stable, although updating mesa and installing flashplugin at every boot is a bit annoying.
[03:23] <idgfhH> obscurant1st: also using Karmic. 512MB ram, but Debian Lenny runs perfectly
[03:23] <ouyes> RiotingPacifist, VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series [1002:95c4]
[03:23] <JCC_Starguy> Wow! It's busy here. And someone tried to tell me that IRC was dead. :)
[03:24] <idgfhH> only have ~2.5 GB free, would that be a problem ?
[03:24] <ouyes> RiotingPacifist,  a thinkpad t400 laptop
[03:24] <RiotingPacifist> ouyes: for gaming, for now, you will have to use !flgrx (the closed driver)
[03:24] <happyface0> un214: JCC_Starguy: I have a multi-partition setup but I run vmware to boot into my other partitions. But I'm having trouble booting into windows 7 from my ubuntu partition (BSOD on load)
[03:24] <RiotingPacifist> !ati | ouyes
[03:24] <IdleOne> scotty^: but it is still alpha, Works for you does not mean  will work for everyone. and lucid is offtopic for this channel
[03:24] <un214> happyface0: I lose
[03:25] <obscurant1st> idgfhH, my ram is 2GB, maybe thats the reason
[03:25] <obscurant1st> :0
[03:25] <idgfhH> obscurant1st: heh
[03:25] <ouyes> RiotingPacifist,  i know that !ati , but i am worried if flgrx works ok in 9.10?
[03:25] <happyface0> un214: :D no problem don't worry about it
[03:25] <JCC_Starguy> happyface0 I don't have enough experience with vmware to help you there. I can only do basic setups.
[03:25] <blakkheim> don't buy from ati - enemy of your freedom
[03:25] <JCC_Starguy> Sorry.
[03:25] <happyface0> thanks anyway JCC_Starguy
[03:26] <idgfhH> it takes almost an entire minute to open the terminal
[03:26] <idgfhH> ;-;
[03:26] <RiotingPacifist> ouyes: try it, the open drivers that come by default are fine for everyday use but cant do 3d yet, if the closed drivers crash there is little anybody can do to fix it
[03:27] <blakkheim> idgfhH: ;_;
[03:27] <scotty^> Thanks IdleOne - just out of interest, if Lucid is offtopic for this channel, which channel should I go to if I need support for Lucid?
[03:27] <blakkheim> !lucid
[03:27] <IdleOne> scotty^: #ubuntu+1
[03:27] <JCC_Starguy> BTW, which IRC client are most of you using?
[03:27] <RiotingPacifist> idgfhH: I've run ubuntu on less than 512 without problems, make sure compiz is turned off
[03:27] <blakkheim> JCC_Starguy: irssi
[03:27] <idgfhH> RiotingPacifist: it is
[03:27] <Zer> Anyone know if the GIDs in /etc/group are hardcoded to functionality? Or is it linked to the group name?
[03:27] <RiotingPacifist> idgfhH: is all your ram being used by something?
[03:27] <sijmen> how do i delete swapfile
[03:28] <RiotingPacifist> sijmen: ubuntu doesn't use a swapfile
[03:28] <Zer> That is to say, for any permissions that might require having one of them as a secondary group, do they depend on the ID of the group?
[03:28] <RiotingPacifist> !swap | sijmen
[03:28] <Zer> (I don't mean on the filesystem)
[03:28] <ouyes> RiotingPacifist,  i do not want to take that risk, my system maybe crash by using th fglrx
[03:28] <obscurant1st> RiotingPacifist, if ubuntu dont use swap, them my swap space is just a waste  right?
[03:28] <obscurant1st> i can delete it or what?
[03:28] <sijmen> on my netbook
[03:29] <RiotingPacifist> ouyes: its a risk, AFAIK the latest ATI drivers are fairly good, but when running them there is always a risk it will crash
[03:29] <scotty^> ouyes: If you want to use the open-source ati driver (not radeonhd) for gaming you will get significantly better results with an unreleased 2.6.33 kernel and mesa 7.8 - see the Phoronix forums for some good reports and for assistance.
[03:29] <sijmen> dont want swap have lots of mem
[03:29] <Stefan91> srbin
[03:29] <Stefan91> srbin
[03:29] <idgfhH> RiotingPacifist: apparently Firefox is using 90%+ CPU o_O

[03:30] <afroman> can somebody help get "system-->preferences--> sound"? (there is nothing wrong in the system---> pref---> main menu)
[03:30] <obscurant1st> RiotingPacifist: are you sure ubuntu dont use the swap, so that i can remove it?? my harddisk is almost fyull,.. :(
[03:30] <idgfhH> blakkheim: flash isn't being used
[03:31] <obscurant1st> i need some space
[03:31] <Srbin> Stefan91 nema pricanja a? D:
[03:31] <RiotingPacifist> obscurant1st: ubuntu uses a swap partition, if your never use any it is best to keep it around because otherwise as soon as you run out of memory ubuntu will start killing programs
[03:31] <obscurant1st> idgfhH: which version of firefox are you using?
[03:31] <blakkheim> !englishh
[03:31] <blakkheim> !english
[03:32] <RiotingPacifist> idgfhH: does it do that on a blank page
[03:32] <Adragon> hi
[03:32] <Stefan91> Adragon .!.
[03:32] <Stefan91> Adragon .!.
[03:32] <obscurant1st> RiotingPacifist: oh.. :(
[03:32] <Adragon> ,,,
[03:32] <idgfhH> blakkheim: hah, disabling flash in Tools -> Addons -> Plugins dropped Firefox down to > 10%
[03:32] <blakkheim> !ops | Stefan91
[03:32] <idgfhH> err, < 10%
[03:32] <Adragon> why does everyone shout "Adragon" whenever they see me?
[03:33] <rww> Adragon!
[03:33] <obscurant1st> RiotingPacifist: lv ya, that firefox 3.6 update worked like a charm..
[03:33] <Adragon> what
[03:33] <Stefan91> Adragon .!.
[03:33] <obscurant1st> i was searching for it form many days..
[03:33] <obscurant1st> :D
[03:33] <obscurant1st> thx
[03:33] <scotty^> ouyes - fglrx Catalyst will work with 9.10 if you use the specially-provided (by ATI) prerelease version included with 9.10.  It should also work as of Catalyst 10.1, released yesterday.
[03:33] <Stefan91> Adragon .!.
[03:33] <Stefan91> Adragon .!.
[03:33] <Flannel> Stefan91: Stop
[03:33] <RiotingPacifist> obscurant1st: if you really need the space you can reduce the swap partitions size or even move to a small swapfile, but it's always best to have atleast some swap (if your sure you never use it, 128M should be enough unless you want to hibernate)
[03:33] <Adragon> WHAT DO YOU WANT
[03:33] <Stefan91> Adragon .!.
[03:34] <scotty^> blakkheim - I think he's already got the ATI HD3400
[03:34] <Alan502> Adragon .!.
[03:34] <Adragon> WHAT
[03:34] <obscurant1st> RiotingPacifist: i will reduce it, now i hv given almost double the size of my memory, its almost 4GB, i thnk i ll gv 1 Gb for swap.
[03:34] <obscurant1st> :d
[03:34] <Adragon> what the hell do people want from me?
[03:35] <RiotingPacifist> obscurant1st: think of it as backup ram for when your ram gets full, if there is not enough bad stuff happens, but most of the time it will sit unused
[03:35] <scotty^> blakkheim:  Thanks for the !lucid tip.
[03:35] <Adragon> im using Xubuntu
[03:35] <Alan502> Adragon .!.
[03:35] <obscurant1st> RiotingPacifist: ok thx for the info..
[03:35] <Adragon> SHUT THE HELL UP ALAN
[03:35] <RiotingPacifist> obscurant1st: if you want to hibernate you need ~1.1x ram, 4GB is excessive though so i'd definetly cut it to ~2.2
[03:35] <Alan502> LMAO
[03:36] <scotty^> IdleOne: Thanks for the #ubuntu+1 info.  Good name, that.
[03:36] <jiohdi> anyone know why UNR has a server mis-match for ubuntu one?
[03:36] <Alan502> hahaha xD
[03:36] <obscurant1st> ok..
[03:36]  * scotty^ is using Empathy - not really liking it
[03:36] <Alan502> do you have something we can help you in Aragon ?
[03:36] <Adragon> um yes
[03:36] <Alan502> !ask
[03:36] <funkyHat> AAaarrgghhh!!! Adragon!!
[03:36] <Adragon> !how the hell do i install Java on Xubuntu
[03:36] <ouyes> scotty^, but my kernel is 2.6.31-14-generic, so what suggestion do you have ?
[03:37] <Adragon> !how the hell do i install Java on Xubuntu
[03:37] <RiotingPacifist> !java | Adragon
[03:37] <Alan502> Empathy is still missing
[03:37] <afroman> how do I get "system-->preferences--> sound" back? (there is nothing wrong in the system---> pref---> main menu)
[03:39] <pbink> anyone have a good guide to install the latest ati driver for the HD4870 on 9.1? tried three so far and they've all failed...sh'ing the run directly fails, as does trying to build a deb package outta it
[03:40] <blakkheim> pbink: step 1- buy nvidia
[03:40] <pbink> blakkheim, nice
[03:42] <Adragon> question
[03:42] <Adragon> is there a chat jannel
[03:42] <Adragon> *channel
[03:42] <scotty^> OK, according to the Catalyst 9.10 release notes, they have not added support for Ubuntu 9.10.  They have only added support for RedFlag DT6.0 SP3 and SLED and SLES 10SP3.
[03:42] <afroman> pbink: there's something in the new Xorg that isn't compatible with the ati catalyst, unless they have fixed it. what I recommand is to use the ati open source driver
[03:43] <pbink> afroman, i will try that...any experience with DRI's?
[03:45] <afroman> pbink: i'm a newbie, so I'm not that good. besides I was just happy to see images again :)
[03:46] <afroman> pbink: I also have less tearing now.
[03:46] <pbink> afroman, so which open source driver did you go with?
[03:48] <jack> hello
[03:48] <afroman> pbink: as I said, I'm a newbie, so I installed all 3. then tried each one until I was closest to the best pic
[03:48] <scotty^> ouyes - If your kernel in 2.6.31-14-generic the first thing you should do is run Update Manager from the System menu.
[03:48] <pbink> afroman, gotcha
[03:49] <afroman> pbink: but if U have an hd, I should recommend radeonhd
[03:50] <LucidGuy> Looking for a solution in keeping all my ubuntu workstations in sync when it comes to packages installed and versions.  Are there apps out there that can do this for me?
[03:50] <afroman> how do I get "system-->preferences--> sound" back? (there is nothing wrong in the system---> pref---> main menu)
[03:50] <scotty^> Sorry, I meant Catalyst 10.1
[03:51] <afroman> pbink: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[03:51] <scotty^> afroman - It's the 2.6.31 kernel that Catalyst doesn't support yet.
[03:51] <FiReSTaRT> !iso
[03:51] <GoogleMcYahoo> i have a windows 7/ubuntu dual boot that i just installed but when i boot into ubuntu it doesn't detect my wireless network
[03:51] <FiReSTaRT> !isos
[03:52] <GoogleMcYahoo> i am assuming i have to configure this but how do i do this?
[03:52] <pbink> afroman, awesome, i'll check that out
[03:52] <FiReSTaRT> !torrent
[03:52] <ouyes> i remember there is an ADD/Remove tools to and and remove softwares, but in 9.10 it is gone, and software center instead of it
[03:52] <kinja-sheep> GoogleMcYahoo: For starters, find out what you need -- "sudo lshw -c network"
[03:52] <FiReSTaRT> ooops.. where do i get the ubuntu torrent seeds?
[03:52] <blakkheim> ouyes: man aptitude
[03:53] <ouyes> blakkheim,  i do not know what are you talking about, i want to use that old tool ADD/REMOVE
[03:53] <afroman> scotty^: it worked with 2.6.31-14 & 16
[03:54] <blakkheim> ouyes: read the manual page of aptitude instead, it is far more useful
[03:54] <kinja-sheep> blakkheim: He want to use GUI to click, click, click things.
[03:54] <[[thufir]]> how do tell whether a package is installed?  aptitude -? foo
[03:54] <hmg> hi. i have a file which is executable (did chmod +x filename), but when typing ./filename i get: bash: ./filename: No such file or directory
[03:54] <blakkheim> kinja-sheep: then maybe windows or mac os x is a better option for him :)
[03:55] <hmg> i can run other files with ./ just not this one!
[03:55] <hmg> :S
[03:55] <macius> hey im using a macbook pro, and realized the trackpad is functions completely under ubuntu 9.10? im wondering what drivers are being used to accomplish this, dont have the os installed on my mac anymore although im using slackware 13 and its completely unresponsive
[03:55] <afroman> pbink: here some good info http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI
[03:55] <blakkheim> hmg: what about "sh filename"
[03:55] <hmg> filename: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
[03:56] <pbink> afroman, roger, i'll check that out as well...right now i'm stuck on getting my virtualbox'd install to recognize the card at all :/
[03:56] <roachmmflhyr> [[thufir]],  at the cli type: apt-get remove <first few letters of packagename> then hit tab tab tab if it pops up then its installed
[03:56] <blakkheim> hmg: then it's the file that is the problem
[03:56] <kinja-sheep> [[thufir]]: aptitude search <xyzPackage>     i = installed ; p = purge
[03:56] <macius> if anyone is using macbook pro, can you lsmod | grep synaptic or usbhid and tell me if those modules are loaded? cause i seem to be missing them and unable to load them
[03:56] <afroman> how do I get sound preferences back?
[03:56] <afroman> anyone?
[03:56] <ouyes> blakkheim, what you are trying to say? the manual will solve my issue?
[03:56] <h00k> macius: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro
[03:56] <hmg> but, how can i see it, yet it doesn't exist (according to the terminal)
[03:56] <hmg> o_O
[03:56] <blakkheim> ouyes: i'm saying learning to use aptitude to manage software is a better choice than some add/remove programs thing
[03:57] <blakkheim> hmg: it exists, but it looks like there is an error in it
[03:57] <hmg> hm
[03:57] <macius> h00k: lol you dont understand how long i was staring at the ubuntu forums :P probably 7 hours all thoughter with no luck since ubuntu is very accepting of mac out of the box
[03:57] <kinja-sheep> ouyes: Use Software Center or Sypathetic (sp?)
[03:57] <rumpsy> all of sudden desktop effects not working for me ! , but it was working before
[03:57] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, are you in the correct directory
[03:57] <[[thufir]]> is the firefox plugin at http://www.alibaba.com/ a security problem, or ok to install the chat plugin?
[03:57] <roachmmflhyr> rumpsy, turn them back on
[03:57] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: yes
[03:57] <neil_d> does the Leadtek vc100xp work under ubuntu?
[03:57] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: it even do auto complete when pressing [TAB]
[03:57] <ouyes> blakkheim,  i know how to add and remove a software but i need an old tool make things simply
[03:58] <roachmmflhyr> rumpsy, or hit ctrl alt backspace
[03:58] <blakkheim> ouyes: aptitude is simple
[03:58] <navin> Hi, how can I reset the Firefox and delete all the temp files in Ubuntu?
[03:58] <rumpsy> roachmmflhyr: i tried, both of that option.
[03:58] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, what are the permissions on it?
[03:58] <blakkheim> navin: mv ~/.mozilla /tmp/mozillabackup
[03:58] <h00k> macius: did that help you at all?
[03:58] <h00k> macius: that link/
[03:58] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: -rwxr-xr-x
[03:58] <ouyes> blakkheim,  if you know the name of the software you can use aptitude but if you do not ?
[03:58] <rumpsy> navin: Are you sure, do you like that?
[03:58] <blakkheim> ouyes: aptitude search $string
[03:58] <navin> blakkheim may I know what is the use of this command?
[03:59] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: i tried setting chmod 777 filename too
[03:59] <blakkheim> navin: it moves your mozilla directory (with all settings) to a backup, next time you restart firefox it will be totally reset
[03:59] <rumpsy> navin, what version of ff you have?
[03:59] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, strange.... try to temporarily chmod 777 <filename> then try to ./filename just for giggles
[03:59] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, ahh sorry i was too slow
[03:59] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, what file is it?
[04:00] <ouyes> blakkheim, you completely have no idea what to install after a fresh installation , forget it ,
[04:00] <blakkheim> ouyes: actually i do
[04:00] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, is it a file from the apt channels?
[04:00] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: its name is nwserver, and it's a neverwinter nights server downloaded from http://nwn.bioware.com/downloads/standaloneserver.html (the official website)
[04:01] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, is there a md5 checksum on the site? if so did you check it? did you try to re-download the file?
[04:02] <Guest07843> Hi!  Anybody use amavisd-new on ubuntu(-server)?
[04:02] <ouyes> hmg, after downloading you have to verify the file and use md5 check tool to check it
[04:02] <macius> h00k: i was looking aat those exact pages quite a bit before so i cant say it did :( with ubuntu touchpad works out of the box so it doesnt explain the config process to much
[04:02] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: doesn't seem to be any checksum stuff. hmm. all the files were inside an archive
[04:02] <navin> blakkhein where do i have to tye that command?
[04:02] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: could this happen even though inside a zip?
[04:02] <h00k> macius: what exactly are you looking to config
[04:03] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: i'll try downloading it again. never seen anything like this :S
[04:03] <macius> h00k: touchpad, certain drivers are loaded liek bcm5974 and i wrote my xorg to understad synaptic, alot the event is not found and synaptic not beign loaded
[04:03] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, hmm not sure very large zip file though... :( may not be debian compatible
[04:04] <navin> rumpsy I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and mozilla 3.5
[04:04] <roachmmflhyr> hmg,  at the command line type     file <filename> what is the output
[04:04] <OzZiE--> hello
[04:04] <macius> h00k: touchpad is completely unresponsive, which i have no idea why :P since it is able to work under ubuntu even on the livecd
[04:04] <bung> what shell would let me type the first letter(s) of a line, and press up to scroll through command history lines that start with that letter(s)
[04:04] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: nwserver: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped
[04:05] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, what is the output of ./<filename>
[04:05] <h00k> macius: oh, that is interesting, and i have no idea how to help you. :/ Keep plugging away, someone should be able to. I'm sorry.  Also, consider filing a bug on Launchpad
[04:05] <Zer> Could someone explain the purpose of uuidd to me? As far as I can see, (1) it has a user, (2) it isn't even running, and (3) that appears to be unnecessary for uuidgen to function.
[04:05] <OzZiE--> im using an ubuntu live cd on a windows laptop which I would like to backup the harddrive to another xp pc.  Can someone help me please?
[04:05] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: bash: ./nwserver: No such file or directory
[04:06] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, what dist version are you using?
[04:06] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: wait, i think i found something: maybe this will work? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4520125
[04:06] <macius> h00k: haha no worries but ty, honestly this is problem is so unbelievable complicate i wouldnt expect it to be answered in a second here :P , i tried everything up to recompiling my kernel
[04:07] <macius> h00k: one quick question does apt-get offer usbhid? cause it seems the one on my system is corrupt or something :S, since im not able to load it
[04:07] <h00k> macius: can you lsmod on a live instance and then again after installing and compare the two?
[04:07] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: I'm not sure how I check my distro (i'm on my friends server through ssh)
[04:08] <macius> h00k: yeah i think ill try that
[04:08] <jiohdi> macius: use apt-cache search
[04:08] <puff> I have a mythbuntu box.  Currently I have it set to use the LCD screen instead of the s-video out, because I lugged it up from my TV room to work on it.  I now have it working and happy and I want to get it back to using the s-video out.  However, I cannot find my  notes from when I changed it to use the LCD.
[04:08] <h00k> macius: I don't see it, I'm not entirely sure what usbhid does.
[04:08] <OzZiE--> i setup a share in ubuntu but when i use my windows pc to get into the share I get a message "you might not have permissions to use this network resource"
[04:09] <Callum_> puff: what video card does your system use?
[04:09] <puff> Callum_: nvidia.
[04:10] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, cat /etc/lsb-release
[04:10] <Callum_> puff: you can rather easily use 'sudo nvidia-settings' to bring up a graphical interface and change the video outputs without any fuss
[04:10] <puff> Callum_: nv43 geforce 6600.
[04:10] <puff> Cool..
[04:10] <puff> Is there any way to have it enable both the LCD and the TV?
[04:10] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
[04:10] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: whops: DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 9.04"
[04:10] <Callum_> puff: If you are not using SLI, yes
[04:10] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, thats all the info you receive
[04:11] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, 32 or 64 bit?
[04:11] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: there are several lines only one got copied hehe
[04:11] <puff> Callum_: What's SLI?
[04:11] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: doesn't say :/
[04:11] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, what does uname -a say?
[04:11] <Callum_> puff: two video cards in one machine working together
[04:11] <h00k> macius: it does look like I have this in: /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/usbhid
[04:11] <h00k> macius: so I suppose it's there already.
[04:12] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: .... x86_64 GNU/Linux
[04:12] <Blue1> I am try to install flash for opera using:  http://www.opera.com/docs/linux/plugins/install/#flash  I get audio but no video on youtube -- suggestions?
[04:13] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, ahh bingo i believe your nw server is a 32 bit specific server
[04:13] <h00k> puff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Link_Interface
[04:13] <h00k> puff: not to eavesdrop
[04:13] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: you think those shared libs won't do it? (did you see the link?)
[04:13] <mboh> mboh
[04:13] <puff> Hook Not at all.
[04:13] <puff> Callum_: Ah, AFAIK, no.  Looking at the nvidia-settings GUI, I would guess I select X Server DisplaConfiguration?
[04:14] <Callum_> h00k: there is no eavesdropping in an IRC channel =)
[04:14] <puff> Callum_:  I'm still upstairs, so the s-video is not plugged into anything  Will I need to have it plugged in before I can detect tit?
[04:14] <Callum_> puff: unfortunately, yes
[04:15] <Callum_> puff: is a VNC server installed on your machine?
[04:15] <slickvic171> sup
[04:15] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, sometimes it will run a 32bit app no prob but sometimes it cant run the correctly some people have had success installing pkg 'ia32-libs' but i dont guarantee anything
[04:15] <puff> Callum_: No, and I can't get net to the t room yet.  Wifi won't reach.  I have to run a cable down there.
[04:15] <puff> Callum_: To the tv room, that is.
[04:15] <h00k> macius: I hope you get things figured out, I have to run
[04:15] <h00k> macius: good luck.
[04:15] <h00k> Peace, all.
[04:15] <ravic> Hi guys! need some help in customizing my gnome-terminal
[04:16] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: ok. thank you very much for your help :) teached me a few useful commands too :)
[04:16] <ravic> i have set to transparent. it shows me my desktop image in background
[04:16] <paulus> i can't get internet through my cable modem on xubuntu (it works fine on my wife's computer).  I can get wireless.  I had entered manual settings for eth0 to connect to the internet at work; how can I be sure I've cleared them all out?
[04:16] <h00k> ravic: that's what it's supposed to do :)
[04:16] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, no problem come back if you have any other questions
[04:16] <blakkheim> ravic: unless you are using some kind of compositing, it will be pseudo-transparency
[04:17] <puff> Callum_: Oky, does this sound like a good idea:  lug the box, LCD, keyboard and mouse down to the TV room, plug the s-video out into the TV, boot it up, use the LCD to run nvidia-settings, try to autodetect?
[04:17] <ravic> how do i get real transpaerncy?
[04:17] <brand0n> anyone ever get the PS3 Eye webcams audio to work
[04:17] <blakkheim> ravic: use something like xcompmgr or compiz fusion
[04:17] <Callum_> puff: yes, that will work =)
[04:17] <h00k> ravic: do you have "Desktop effects" enabled?
[04:17] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, also found this online "To use NWNX on 64-bit system, you have to install 32-bit libraries and make a 32-bit chroot environment, then compile & run NWNX in this environment."
[04:17] <brishu> anyone know of a way where i can find what keybinding does waht (including the custom ones set by other programs), i have 2 keybindings that are SUPPPOSED to work, except they just dont do anything ... >.> ...
[04:18] <puff> Callum_: Thanks!  I go now to try.  I will come back with my remote contorl, or on it.
[04:18] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, http://www.nwnx.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=11998&sid=b91133a9b7a4ea1b1b92bad695363bb7 check this out it might help
[04:18] <navin> can anyone tell me how to delete the temporary internet files??
[04:18] <roachmmflhyr> navin, firefox?
[04:18] <navin> yes
[04:18] <ravic> h00k, i am not sure.
[04:19] <roachmmflhyr> navin, click tools->'clear private data'
[04:19] <navin> roachmmflhyr as we delete the prefetch folder in Windows and delete the temporary internet files, how can we do the same here as well.
[04:19] <h00k> ravic: if you goto System -> Preferences -> Appearance, Visual Effects tab
[04:19] <h00k> ravic: which option is checked there?
[04:19] <brand0n> anyone ever get the PS3 Eye webcams audio to work
[04:20] <ravic> none
[04:20] <roachmmflhyr> navin, check the necessary boxes and hit clear data .....
[04:20] <h00k> ravic: see if you can set "Normal" or "Extra," it really depends on your graphics card
[04:20] <navin> roachmmflhyr  i have done that but still the history is still there
[04:21] <ravic> installed a driver and needs a restart
[04:21] <ravic> going for it
[04:21] <h00k> ravic: okay, cool.
[04:21] <h00k> ravic: good luck!
[04:21] <redDog_> kinja-sheep: ok i did a sudo lshw -c network and wrote down the info... what is the next step in configuring my wireless connection
[04:21] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: i'll check into it :) thanks again (might be back ^^ )
[04:22] <roachmmflhyr> navin,  well clear the cache as well in edit->preferences->advanced->network->'clear cache'
[04:22] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, :)
[04:22] <h00k> navin: if you've checked the appropriate boxes, it shouldn't be there
[04:22] <navin> roachmmflhyr  I am not getting the option of clear private data under tools
[04:22] <kinja-sheep> redDog_: I don't recall you. Either way, you might want to check the hardware list.
[04:22] <kinja-sheep> !hcl | redDog_
[04:22] <roachmmflhyr> navin,  click edit->preferences->advanced->network->'clear cache'
[04:23] <roachmmflhyr> navin, its in the main toolbar not in tools
[04:23] <redDog_> kinja-sheep: i had another name before but had to reboot to open up my ubuntu install and forgot what name i was using in here
[04:24] <h00k> ravic: any luck?
[04:24] <ravic> nope
[04:24] <ravic> its set to extra
[04:24] <h00k> ravic: alright, so you have effects enabled
[04:24] <h00k> ravic: for instance, windows wobble if you move them around?
[04:24] <ravic> s
[04:25] <ravic> n very smoothly
[04:25] <kinja-sheep> redDog_: You should not need to write everything down (physically with a pen or pencil on a pad) but you're looking for specific information on your wireless card.  Also, if you haven't done yet, check Hardware Drivers under System --> Pref/Admin.
[04:25] <ravic> hook, i got it
[04:25] <h00k> ravic: what'dja do?
[04:25] <ravic> seem like it took time
[04:25] <h00k> ravic: probably, yeah. Does your terminal look better?
[04:26] <ravic> yeah
[04:26] <ravic> i like this real tranparent setting
[04:26] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: the shared libs stuff worked :D server is running! finally! :D :D
[04:26] <ravic> i can type commands in terminal with FF behind it
[04:26] <h00k> ravic: it's true, it looks good
[04:26] <ravic> no need to toggle
[04:26] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, awesome good job
[04:26] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: :)
[04:26] <ravic> h00k, thanks boz
[04:27] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, 'ia32-libs' pkg?
[04:27] <h00k> ravic: hey, no prob, glad you got it.
[04:27] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, which packages did you install?
[04:28] <ravic> h00k, 1 more thing
[04:28] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: only this one: apt-get install ia32-libs :)

[04:28] <ravic> i am on xcaht
[04:28] <roachmmflhyr> hmg, nice

[04:30] <h00k> ravic: actually, I don't remember exactly where it is in Xchat, but ask the channel and I'm sure someone can help you
[04:30] <hmg> roachmmflhyr: that, I will :D
[04:31] <martinfartin_> i would like to use the "new interface" from the netbook remix on my ubuntu 9.10 karmic cd .iso. 64bit. is it possible. whats the name so i can download/install it? thank you
[04:31] <ravic> hey can some here tel me how to change colour of font u seeing for my message in channel. I am on Xchat
[04:34] <apoc90> can somebody please help me with a really simple problem? i just installed virtualbox and i can't find it under applications, how do i find it
[04:34] <kinja-sheep> ravic: Settings --> Preferences (Interface --> Colors --> Highlight)
[04:35] <kinja-sheep> apoc90: Check under Accessories.
[04:35] <apoc90> it's not there :/
[04:35] <ravic> this is did nt effect anyway
[04:35] <kinja-sheep> apoc90: "killall gnome-panel" and check again.
[04:35] <rumpsy> navin: Are you there?
[04:35] <ravic> kinja-sheep; still u seeing in same colour
[04:36] <navin> rumpsy yes
[04:36] <rumpsy> navin:do you like to clear logs of ff
[04:36] <apoc90> kinja-sheep: that did the trick, thanks for your help i appreciate it :)
[04:36] <kinja-sheep> ravic: Err, what are you talking about specifically?
[04:36] <kinja-sheep> apoc90: No prob.
[04:37] <navin> rumpsy yes
[04:37] <roachmmflhyr> kinja-sheep, he wants to change the color of his font so we see a different color when he talks.....
[04:37] <roachmmflhyr> kinja-sheep, im not telling him
[04:37] <ravic> roachmmflhyr; yeah
[04:38] <roachmmflhyr> ravic, its annoying when people talk in different colors
[04:38] <kinja-sheep> ravic: Changing colors + fonts changes things for you, not for others.
[04:38] <rww> ravic: This channel is set +c, which means that color changes are silently removed from messages you send.
[04:38] <rumpsy> navin: open ff, goto edit and then to preferences
[04:38] <navin> rumpsy i am there
[04:38] <rumpsy> navin: And then choose privacy tab
[04:39] <roachmmflhyr> ravic, oh yeah plus the +c flag is set..useless to change here
[04:39] <navin> rumpsy ok
[04:39] <roachmmflhyr> ravic, will work for other channels
[04:39] <roachmmflhyr> ravic, that is if they dont have +c set
[04:39] <rumpsy> navin: under privacy tab, you will be having three headings, History, Cookies, Private data
[04:40] <ravic> rww; if so y are ur message displayed in black and not my message
[04:40] <ravic> roachmmflhyr;  if so y are ur message displayed in black and not my message
[04:40] <rumpsy> navin: under History, choose you option, that how long do you want to store your history of ff
[04:40] <ravic> my message in channel is in diff colour than all of urs
[04:40] <roachmmflhyr> ravic, thats so you can see what messages that you sent
[04:40] <rww> ravic: because your client is displaying how it thinks your message will look, not how it actually looks after filtering.
[04:40] <rumpsy> navin: under History, choose your option, that how long do you want to store your history of ff
[04:41] <martinfartin_> i found a how-to to my question, thank you
[04:41] <ravic> where to customize it?
[04:41] <MK13> will the ubuntu cd image work if burnt to a dvd?
[04:42] <cabrera> Yes the cd will work if burnt to a dvd
[04:42] <rumpsy> navin: Under Cookies, heading, there is a nice option called "Keep until" make use of that
[04:42] <cabrera> ubuntu iso*
[04:42] <kinja-sheep> ravic: You can't change the modes unless you're one of the ops but that won't happen here.
[04:44] <cabrera> Hello my names Abraham and I have a question about the Ubuntu 9.10 ppc link = http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/9.10/release/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-powerpc.iso
[04:44] <navin> rumpsy r u dere?
[04:44] <rumpsy> navin: Under "Private data" heading, it better to choose this option "Always clear my private data when i close firefox", and use the settings button next to that, in that settings option choose everything if you want
[04:44] <rumpsy> navin: ^^
[04:44] <kinja-sheep> cabrera: Ask away.
[04:45] <cabrera> I have downloaded it from several places but I still keep getting this error from the cds
[04:45] <cabrera> Its asking me for credentials when I know for a fact that it is autologin
[04:45] <MK13> cabrera, thanks
[04:46] <cabrera> I have used all the possible usernames and passwords that I could think of
[04:46] <cabrera> but no luck
[04:46] <cabrera> Anyone know what could be the problem?
[04:46] <rumpsy> navin: And also under "private data" heading another option called "ask me before clearing private data" choose that too, it will be safer if you don't wan to clear private datas.
[04:47] <cabrera> np MK13
[04:47] <rww> cabrera: have you tried username `ubuntu' with a blank password?
[04:47] <cabrera> yes I have
[04:47] <cabrera> I tried both xubuntu and ubuntu
[04:47] <cabrera> with respective logins and nothing works
[04:47] <navin> rumpsy i think i am not any such options in the privacy tab.
[04:48] <rumpsy> navin: what you see there?
[04:48] <cabrera> what I'm doing atm is downloading an older version to see if maybe the ones that are beeing hosted are corrupted
[04:48] <kinja-sheep> cabrera: I'm a bit confused -- Are you using LiveCDs or is that after the installations?
[04:48] <cabrera> LiveCd's
[04:49] <cabrera> It is not the first time I use LiveCd's
[04:49] <kinja-sheep> cabrera: The passwords are randomly generated on LiveCDs, there are no known password.  Simply create a new one with "sudo passwd ubuntu"
[04:49] <cabrera> I come from 7.10
[04:49] <cabrera> And how would I enter a terminal on a LiveCd?
[04:49] <rumpsy> navin: you have to reply me, so that i can help you faster.
[04:49] <navin> rumpsy it says history and location bat
[04:49] <navin> bar*
[04:49] <navin> rumpsy sure
[04:49] <bib> control alt f1
[04:49] <WiseRent0> hello
[04:50] <rumpsy> navin: screenshot please
[04:50] <bib> cabrera, ctrl alt f1
[04:50] <kinja-sheep> cabrera: You should not be at GDM for liveCDs.
[04:50] <IdleOne> cabrera: username is ubuntu and leave the password empty
[04:50] <bib> IdleOne, he tried that
[04:50] <rumpsy> navin: i need screenshot of that, because you are making me clear
[04:51] <rumpsy> navin: i need screenshot of that, because you are not making me clear
[04:51] <navin> rumpsy how shall i send you the screen shot?
[04:51] <DasEi> sudo-s
[04:51] <cabrera> hey sorry if I'm on the wrong channel but it's a first for me on IRC
[04:51] <rumpsy> navin, use imageshack website
[04:51] <artinstartin> how can i switch the desktop mode on ubuntu desktop 9.10 to the netbook remix desktop mode please?
[04:52] <cabrera> let me see if the ctr+alt+F1 works
[04:52] <navin> rumpsy my internet is very slow, but let me try that.

[04:52] <rumpsy> navin: or you have to give me clear answer! , what you see under privacy tab

[04:53] <petsounds> artinstartin, install ubuntu-netbook-remix package and then reboot.
[04:53] <lifestream> Is there a volume control APPLET for the gnome-panel  (APPLET, not notification icon... a panel  APPLET :P *huffs and pants*)  that works in Karmic Gnome?
[04:54] <rumpsy> navin: Are you under privacy tab?
[04:54] <b00m_chef> I have shut-down the "indicator-applet" and now I cannot find a way to get it back up on my panel

[04:54] <navin> rumpsy yes
[04:54] <johntramp> hi.  using evolution mail and setting up filters. I have to manually go to 'message/apply filters' - shouldn't they be applied as soon as a new message arrives?
[04:54] <b00m_chef> anyone know how to do this?
[04:54] <rumpsy> navin: do you see any word with underlined?
[04:54] <navin> rumpsy yes
[04:54] <petsounds> artinstartin, you may find your panel will be messed up after it install, but don't worry you just have to reset your panel settings with.
[04:55] <rumpsy> navin: what is that?
[04:55] <_atomic> sup?
[04:55] <petsounds> !resetpanels > artinstartin
[04:55] <_atomic> I'll find out
[04:55] <b00m_chef> nevermind, got it
[04:56] <artinstartin> thanks for telling me petsounds
[04:56] <petsounds> artinstartin, np
[04:57] <navin> rumpsy it says clear your recent history
[04:57] <navin> rumpsy also remove individual cookies
[04:57] <rumpsy> navin: clicj that clear your recent history
[04:57] <rumpsy> *click
[04:58] <navin> rumpsy now I am getting the prompt to clear recent histpry
[04:58] <navin> rumpsy history*
[04:58] <lavin> how do i open a torrent once it downloaded
[04:58] <edbian> lavin, Do you mean the .torrent file?  Or the actual media?
[04:58] <cabrera> You have to use a torrent manager
[04:59] <rumpsy> navin: Under this prompt what and all you see? list me
[04:59] <cabrera> I would suggest use transmission
[04:59] <navin> rumpsy it says Time range to clear with a drop down
[04:59] <lifestream> ... what... the...  ... ... ..   I'm using headphones just like normal, listening to a song, and suddenly, mid song,  the volume goes WAY ******* UP.  My ears are blown up
[04:59] <lavin> edbian: not sure what you mean but i went to torrent site downloaded file and in downloads it says i need to open with a application ???
[05:00] <cabrera> yeah use transmission
[05:00] <lavin> edbian: i think .torrentfile
[05:00] <cabrera> or delge
[05:00] <cabrera> deluge*
[05:00] <rumpsy> navin: use that dropdown, make it least time
[05:00] <edbian> lavin, Yeah, you go to a website and get a .torrent file.  Open that file with a torrent app like transmission on ubuntu.
[05:00] <vera> hey
[05:00] <edbian> lavin, Then transmission will download the rest of the file for you (obviously the torrent you want will take longer than the few moments it took to get that .torrentfile)
[05:00] <vera> how do i install java onto my ubuntu?
[05:00] <lavin> edbian:  i got that open but carnt find the file
[05:01] <rumpsy> navin: follow , what i said to you before, i said about this already, just scroll and look logs
[05:01] <edbian> lavin, That's just a matter of telling firefox to put it somewhere you can find it ;)
[05:01] <navin> rumpsy okay
[05:01] <Out_Cold> !java
[05:01] <lavin> edbian:  i thought it was a bit quick
[05:01] <Scunizi__> I have a nick that has the underscores at the end because I think it's been ghosted.. how do I fix that?
[05:01] <edbian> lavin, Is the file still there in the downloads window of firefox?
[05:01] <lavin> edbian:  ok thanx i go and try :)
[05:01] <rumpsy> navin: if  you stuck anywhere, ping me then
[05:01] <lavin> edbian: yes still there
[05:01] <Out_Cold> Scunizi, /ns ghost nick password
[05:01] <edbian> lavin, Right click on the file in the firefox's downloads window.  Choose "open with transmission"
[05:02] <Out_Cold> Scunizi, /ns= /msg nickserv
[05:02] <lavin> edbian: :)
[05:03] <edbian> lavin, Problem solved? :)
[05:03] <navin> rumpsy tell me one more thing
[05:03] <paissad> do you think possible to build an i386 package from an amd64 system ?
[05:03] <rumpsy> navin: What?
[05:03] <navin> rumpsy how can I clear the logs of all the chats from empathy.
[05:03] <lavin> e no it doesnt give me that option when i right click it
[05:04] <lavin> edbian: no not solved no option when i right click
[05:04] <rumpsy> i donno about empathy!
[05:04] <resno> hey guys just did a fresh install of 9.10 and the screen is stuck at terminal and is flashing in and out
[05:04] <rumpsy> But check it in its option or preference
[05:04] <edbian> lavin, Then you just have to tell firefox to save it someplace you can find it.
[05:04] <rumpsy> you can get there
[05:04] <lavin> edbian:  i think i have sorted it thankyou
[05:04] <vera> hey can i play wow on ubuntu
[05:05] <cabrera> yes
[05:05] <vera> i  have to download wine if im correct?
[05:05] <Flannel> vera: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[05:05] <Flannel> vera: Yes
[05:05] <cabrera> I think so
[05:05] <lavin> edbian: now i getting a bit used to a unix os i think its great
[05:05] <edbian> lavin, It's unix based.  Linux is a better name ;)
[05:05] <rumpsy> espeak, how to make it work! basic command please
[05:05] <Don_Miguel> :-)
[05:06] <Out_Cold> lavin, linux/unix opens the doors to things that computers should be...
[05:06] <lavin> edbian: is a mac os unix based aswell
[05:06] <rumpsy> espeak "This is Right" ?
[05:06] <Out_Cold> !espeak
[05:06] <edbian> lavin, Loosely but yes
[05:06] <resno> hey guys just did a fresh install of 9.10 and the screen is stuck at terminal and is flashing in and out
[05:06] <edbian> lavin, Mac is less unix than linux
[05:06] <rumpsy> !tell about espeak
[05:06] <lifestream> I have a question about empathy which i'm currently apathetic about.  it shows a green icon to show that I'm "Available", right, then says my name next to it, right, lifestream. I click or double click i, and empathy never comes up. How do I see my contact list? funny, I can shutdown from that menu, but not do anything related to empathy :P
[05:06] <lavin> Out_Cold:  yes much more fun i've enjoyed the learning curve
[05:07] <lavin> edbian:  i on a linux 9.10 karmic ubuntu
[05:07] <Out_Cold> resno, check the disk integrity from boot menu
[05:07] <lavin> edbian: 2.6.31
[05:07] <Ari_Lazarus> Hi guys. Is it just me or does OpenOffice and the way it renders fonts differ a little from MS Office on Windows?
[05:07] <edbian> lavin, Yep
[05:07] <Scunizi__> Out_Cold: for some reason it didn't fix my nick.. trying /msg ghost Scunizi or Scunizi__ <password> ... trying with Scunizi__ nickserv reports back that the nick isn't registered.
[05:07] <Ari_Lazarus> in the way*
[05:07] <Out_Cold> lavin, most people get grey during that curve
[05:07] <edbian> lavin, Unix based.  But not unix.  Definitely linux :)
[05:07] <vera> hey ubuntu is not readin my flash drive
[05:08] <Out_Cold> Scunizi__, one sec i will test for you
[05:08] <lavin> edbian:  been hard work 4 me i never even used dos in windows b4
[05:08] <edbian> lavin, Yeah, the terminal is really powerful :)
[05:08] <cabrera> terminal = GODMODE
[05:08] <erop> Hi there! Which channel should I use to get some help regarding remote Ubuntu install?
[05:09] <edbian> cabrera, GODMODE is pathetic compared to the terminal :P
[05:09] <lavin>  i want to learn a bit of programming now
[05:09] <cabrera> hahahahah
[05:09] <Scunizi__> Out_Cold: there's 3 of me listed.. Scunizi ... Scunizi_ ... and Scunizi__  ..
[05:09] <edbian> lavin, That's a big task!  But a good idea.  Get a teacher
[05:09] <cabrera> You can't learn how to program here
[05:09] <Out_Cold> Scunizi_, , you are trying to regain control of Scunizi right?
[05:09] <Scunizi__> Out_Cold: yep
[05:09] <lavin> e from were
[05:09] <cabrera> This is for support on Ubuntu not programming
[05:09] <lavin> edbian: from were
[05:10] <vera> how do i mount my flashdrive?
[05:10] <edbian> lavin, IDK, a school?
[05:10] <Roasted> ,
[05:10] <edbian> lavin, Can't help you there!
[05:10] <vera> so my flash drive is screwed?
[05:10] <cabrera> Go study CS to program
[05:10] <Izinucs> Out_Cold: now I can't use it at all..
[05:11] <lavin> edbian:  you mean go to a course and do it properly, teh good idea its ok learning on your own but its when you run into trouble it takes long time to sort out
[05:11] <Out_Cold> Izinucs = Scunizi?
[05:11] <Izinucs> Out_Cold: yep.. spelled backwards
[05:11] <edbian> lavin, I went to college to learn programming
[05:11] <jamalta> Hi, if Bluetooth messages are showing up in dmesg, does that mean I have a bluetooth card installed? lspci and lsusb don't show a bluetooth adapter.
[05:11] <Out_Cold> talk in pvt
[05:11] <Izinucs> k
[05:11] <cabrera> Well then go to youtube and look for spoon feed C++
[05:11] <cabrera> Highly recomend for newbs
[05:11] <lavin> edbian:  which language do you think i should begin with
[05:12] <edbian> jamalta, It probably just means you have the bluetooth software installed
[05:12] <resno> my computer is acting like it has a serizure or something, screen and keyboard lights flashing
[05:12] <jamalta> edbian: ah alright
[05:12] <edbian> lavin, That is a question so hotly debated I won't dare answer in this busy channel
[05:12] <vera> how do i get my fashdrive to work?
[05:12] <edbian> vera, You plugged it in?
[05:13] <lavin> edbian:  you have the right to your opinion
[05:13] <cabrera> Try out BASIC
[05:13] <edbian> vera, Does it show up in the output of "sudo fdisk -l" ??
[05:13] <vera> yes i did and it say cannont mount
[05:13] <edbian> vera, Why can't it mount?
[05:13] <cabrera> try a force mount
[05:13] <paulus68> what is the correct way to create a "secure tunnel" through ssh in order to surf over the internet using a socks5 proxy
[05:13] <lavin> cadwas that to me BASIC
[05:13] <jamalta> What's a more reliable way to check if I have a bluetooth adapter installed?
[05:13] <beefcake> Enter text here...hey could someone please help me
[05:13] <blakkheim> paulus68: setup a local ssh proxy and change your firefox settings
[05:13] <flexible> hey
[05:14] <edbian> jamalta, The output of "sudo lspci"
[05:14] <jamalta> edbian: thanks
[05:14] <flexible> i install KDE last night, and rebooted today...
[05:14] <vera> hoq do i force mount
[05:14] <edbian> jamalta, No problem! :)
[05:14] <vera> how*
[05:14] <lavin> cadeera was that to me about basic
[05:14] <cabrera> yeah
[05:14] <beefcake> i have an apple airport extreme and i cant connect to the internet with it on ubuntu due to the fact my wireless password is to small
[05:14] <cabrera> it's the easiest language right now
[05:14] <blakkheim> beefcake: so make it longer
[05:14] <beefcake> how can i fix that
[05:14] <lavin> cabrera: i'll look into it thanks
[05:14] <cabrera> Well one of the easiest
[05:15] <beefcake> without having to make it longfer
[05:15] <cabrera> But if you want to look into somthing used a lot then you can go either Java or C/C++
[05:15] <flexible> i install KDE last night, and rebooted today... however now i cannot log in... it just says it is unable to mount the filesystem,and takes to me to the maintenance prompt, yet i still manage to be able to cycle through all the files when in this maintenance prompt... i try typing 'startx' and it fails... i suspect KDE has ruined somthing... help please?
[05:15] <resno> i know this isnt support but i am having a weird issue with my fresh ubuntu install. the screen and keyboard lights are flashing.
[05:16] <beefcake> i think its because it is using the wrong security system ut it only has one option on tghe wireless key entry system
[05:16] <edbian> resno, Actually, this is support! :)
[05:16] <edbian> resno, That usually means you have a stick of bad ram
[05:16] <resno> yea, i was using that blurb on the offtopic line
[05:16] <resno> edbian: how can itest that?
[05:16] <DasEi> flexible :you had a running gnome before and now can boot safemode still ?
[05:16] <flexible> yes
[05:16] <edbian> resno, Do you have the memtest86+ option in your boot menu?  That is a ram testing program
[05:16] <resno> everything is new except hard drive and video card edbian
[05:17] <ja660k> hey guys, just installed ubuntu on my imac (daul boot) and it boots into mac straight away, like i cant choose what os to boot into?
[05:17] <flexible> the system appears to be fine DasEi, except X seems to be corrupt
[05:17] <edbian> resno, Alternatively, remove the ram sticks one at a time and see if the problem goes away.
[05:17] <DasEi> flexible :how did you install ? sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ?
[05:17] <flexible> this is 64bit btw
[05:17] <edbian> resno, The memory on the video card may be bad.
[05:17] <flexible> yes, technically through synaptic though
[05:17] <cabrera> in the terminal DasEi
[05:17] <resno> will memtest86+ rule out the ram?
[05:18] <cabrera> yes
[05:18] <cabrera> it will check to see if it is dead or not
[05:18] <resno> edbian: i can get it to boot into live cd. however i get sr0 error along the way
[05:18] <DasEi> flexible :right, did you try dpkg repair ... from the recovery menu ? (have to choose netroot for dhcp in front, then enter exit at cmd-prompt, then choose
[05:18] <paulus68> blakkheim what is the correct syntax for this normally I connect to my server over ssh like this ssh username@blablabla.dyndns.org -pxxxx
[05:19] <edbian> resno, sr0 errors mean the CD has very minor scratches in it.  Like skipping on a music CD.  If there are too many the system won't boot.
[05:19] <flexible> DasEi, i'd rather just remove KDE and revert to GNOME
[05:19] <vera> sigh my flash drive still will not work
[05:19] <jimisrvrox1> hey guys if anybody has a minute I am having probs with my RT2500 using ubuntu 9.04. getting no dchpoffers
[05:19] <blakkheim> paulus68: ssh -fND localhost:someport user@server
[05:19] <DasEi> flexible :first make sure there are no unmet dependencies, then reconfigure your x, should boot then
[05:20] <blakkheim> paulus68: then set your socks proxy to localhost:portwhateveryouchose in firefox
[05:20] <flexible> alright
[05:20] <flexible> how do i do that DasEi
[05:20] <vera> any advice for my flash drive not working
[05:20] <cabrera> RT2500 if I'm not mistaken has a special driver for linux
[05:20] <Hextasy> if I wanted to use vnc on my ubuntu box, what direction should I look for a server?
[05:20] <paulus68> blakkheim: thanks
[05:20] <resno> and now it just booted... weird
[05:20] <Simonsez> c/leave
[05:21] <Out_Cold> !vnc > Hextasy
[05:21] <DasEi> flexible: 1)netroot just for inet-connect), enter exit 2) dpkg..blah, let it finish 3) rootprompt again : cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg_ba  && dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:22] <flexible> what is netroot
[05:22] <jimisrvrox1> cabrera: well ive had it working before but idk...ive got a driver installed for it but i need to document whatever works that way I dont have to mess with this stuff anymore!
[05:22] <DasEi> flexible: an option from the recovery (safemode) menu, know how to get there ?
[05:22] <flexible> nope
[05:23] <cabrera> is the RT2500 for a wifi doongle?
[05:23] <optimus_t> when i download the some package with package manager, where will i get the tarball for the corresponding package??
[05:23] <jimisrvrox1> doongle? not sure what you mean by that term
[05:23] <DasEi> flexible: when machine starts sayin grub..., hit ESC (or left shift at newer grubs), then you can choose which kernel to boot >> safemode
[05:23] <cabrera> OK is the network card external where you can plug into usb?
[05:23] <Out_Cold> optimus_t, no tarball is installed.. you will get files in /tmp until the install is finished
[05:24] <quietone> vera: on the forums I found reference to a mount option (-o force). can anyone confirm that is correct?
[05:24] <flexible> okay i am at the safemode prompt
[05:24] <flexible> what do i type
[05:24] <jimisrvrox1> no ive got the PCI card
[05:24] <optimus_t> Out_Cold: and if i want the tarballs for the package then what shld i do?
[05:24] <youwin> is it possible to share my user's settings with my sudo user settings?
[05:24] <DasEi> flexible: you got that menu with the choices, like resume,dpkg.. and so on ?
[05:24] <flexible> no
[05:25] <DasEi> flexible: so is that a busybox maybe ?
[05:25] <Out_Cold> optimus_t, if you want source code you can enable source in the /etc/apt/sources.list or repositories from some synaptics menu
[05:25] <flexible> DasEi, i'm running linux mint, which isn't strictly ubuntu
[05:25] <youwin> i'd like the gedit plugins and bashrc to be the same
[05:25] <DasEi> !mint | flexible
[05:25] <youwin> as well as mostly everything else
[05:25] <DasEi> flexible: basics are same there, though
[05:26] <optimus_t> k
[05:26] <cyqotiq> Is anyone on a 64-bit machine who CAN watch Hulu?
[05:26] <jayjaymires> I have
[05:26] <bib> install the 32 bit repo
[05:26] <mneptok> cyqotiq: no. it's a known issue.
[05:26] <opebluefish> yeah i can watch Hulu
[05:27] <DasEi> flexible: it seems to me you either are at a cmd-line after a starved gdm or at initramfs'es busbox
[05:27] <jayjaymires> I haven't had a problem with hulu
[05:27] <cabrera> Here's the drivers for the RT2500: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rt2400/
[05:27] <mneptok> cyqotiq: you need the 32-bit Flash and nspluginwrapper
[05:27] <gt_29> i got gui error
[05:27] <cyqotiq> mneptok: I was wondering if that would work
[05:27] <DasEi> flexible: still around ?
[05:27] <cabrera> or you could always instal ndiswrapper and get the windows driver(.inf's and .cat)
[05:28] <gt_29> how to recover gui?
[05:28] <jayjaymires> What does wrapper mean anyways
[05:28] <cyqotiq> people who talk in rhyme to a beat
[05:28] <gt_29> how to recover ubuntu 9.10?
[05:28] <jayjaymires> lol
[05:28] <cabrera> ndiswrapper is a network program fro gnome
[05:29] <jimisrvrox1> yeah Id rather try to dl the drivers than mess with ndis
[05:29] <cabrera> for*
[05:29] <cabrera> But do take in mind that you might have to compile some code
[05:29] <cabrera> and it might be more of a hassle if you don't know what you are doing...
[05:30] <cabrera> But I have to go have a good night all cya
[05:30] <Tulga> guys someone install ubuntu on appleTV box?
[05:31] <vera> hey still need help with my flash drive issue
[05:31] <jayjaymires> What's wrong with your flash drive?
[05:32] <vera> it will not load .and all  thing does is say cannot mount flash drivethe
[05:32] <cyqotiq> I'm guessing it works on another box?
[05:33] <vera> yea my flash drive works for pc just not ubuntu
[05:34] <cyqotiq> have you checked it for corruption?
[05:34] <vera> yes i have
[05:34] <vera> but it wont load
[05:35] <cyqotiq> Is it a standard USB flash memory stick?
[05:35] <vera> yes
[05:36] <cyqotiq> And since you're getting an error, I'm guessing your system recognizes the hardware.  Do you know what the device name is in /dev?

[05:39] <merma> is it possible to use Reconstructor from another distro besides Ubuntu?

[05:41] <Out_Cold> nikitis, you can also search for a .deb package from the repositories..
[05:41] <zruty> Why do I feel a bot attack coming on ...?
[05:41] <Omar87> Okat, here we go again.
[05:41] <headyadmin> hahaha
[05:41] <Out_Cold> nikitis, you can dpkg also but not recommended
[05:42] <Omar87> I think you might wanna turn this channel into a "registered users only" one very soon. :-)
[05:42] <nikitis> Out_Cold, i'm more interested in the name of the packages
[05:42] <Ari_Lazarus> Both Trista and Electa had a <n=namehere> hostname
[05:42] <Out_Cold> Omar87, it gets to that occasionally
[05:42] <nikitis> Out_Cold, What is the opengl 32-bit libraries called?
[05:42] <cyqotiq> 65.*.*.* <-- Isn't that a Microsoft IP?
[05:43] <zruty> How do I move my downloads-in-progress without breaking them, having to start all over?
[05:43] <Omar87> Out_Cold: :-)
[05:43] <cyqotiq> zruty: Which program?
[05:43] <Out_Cold> nikitis, what is your overall goal here??
[05:43] <Myke1> Hey folks, got a compiz question for you, real simple, yet I cent seem to find the answer. Is there a way to snap all windows to tileup next to each other neatly? like 4 windows would make 4 panels on the screen etc
[05:43] <zruty> cyqotiq: transmission
[05:44] <mobi-sheep> zruty: I think Transmission have "right-click and move" thing.
[05:44] <cyqotiq> Right-click, choose "Set Location"
[05:45] <zruty> eh, no
[05:45] <headyadmin> or 'Move data file to'
[05:45] <cyqotiq> Myke1: If you mean "Tile"... not that I know of.  But there is a "Snap to Edge" function
[05:45] <zruty> In the transmission screen? No such options when I right click on the download
[05:45] <headyadmin> zruty: Move Data File To
[05:45] <cyqotiq> Which version?
[05:46] <mobi-sheep> zruty: "Set Location" as cyqotiq said. Unless you're on Hardy. :)
[05:46] <zruty> Ubuntu 9.04, tranmission 1.51 (7963)
[05:46] <soreau> Myke1: You can do it with the grid plugin
[05:46] <zruty> No, these options do not show
[05:46] <cyqotiq> Ah.  Update to 1.75 ;)
[05:47] <Out_Cold> nikitis, a apt-cache search libgl turns up about 30 or more libraries... depends on your needs to what you should download
[05:47] <Myke1> @soreau is that in compiz or do i have to download a seperate plugin
[05:47] <zruty> ok
[05:47] <Myke1> @cyqotiq ill give it a try
[05:47] <soreau> Myke1: It is part of the plugins-extra package which is installed by default
[05:47] <zruty> I figured the automatic updater thing would do that, well, automatically
[05:47] <Myke1> @soreau ah ok let me look then
[05:48] <cyqotiq> Myke1: soreau suggested... yeah.nvm
[05:48] <cyqotiq> :)
[05:48] <nikitis> Out_Cold, i'm trying to play World of Warcraft on 64-bit.  I've installed 32-bit wine. Have the ia32-libs installed.  But the game crashes when I try to play.
[05:48] <zruty> cyqotiq: mobi-sheep headyadmin: thanks
[05:48] <soreau> Myke1: There is also the tile plugin as cyqotiq but you would have to install that separately afaik
[05:48] <Billlll> OOOoOO
[05:48] <mobi-sheep> zruty: I imagine if you don't see "Set Location" when right-clicking on the torrent queue in Transmission, you could try pause it and move it manually.
[05:49] <cyqotiq> mobi-sheep: That doesn't wokr
[05:49] <Out_Cold> nikitis, well do a search in synaptics for opengl and read thoroughly
[05:49] <cyqotiq> I tried... big headaches
[05:49] <zruty> mobi-sheep: Yeah I did.... then adjust the download path and etc, but it doesn't pick up on that
[05:49] <Out_Cold> mobi-sheep, that breaks it
[05:49] <Out_Cold> upgrade then move
[05:50] <mobi-sheep> zruty: The resume torrents resides in ~/.config/transmission/resume
[05:50] <Billlll> O_o my balls dropped?
[05:50] <cyqotiq> zruty: I'm pretty sure you have to run the 1.7x version to get that functionality.  I remember being upset at pre 1.7 versions for breaking the torrent.
[05:50] <Roxyhart08> hi
[05:50] <cyqotiq> Billlll: Congrats!!
[05:51] <Billlll> LOL
[05:51] <whammo> hi I'm trying to install karmic on an inspiron 1564 (pretty new) and I get the black screen. when I try the "try ubuntu" option I heard the startup sound, but no video
[05:51] <Out_Cold> time for a barmitzfa
[05:51] <Roxyhart08> someone knows how i can to connect to ubuntu-server channel...i got a message that said i need to by identified
[05:51] <Out_Cold> Roxyhart08, you are here
[05:51] <cyqotiq> whammo: What video card?
[05:51] <zruty> cyqotiq: Yeah, well, they're not all that critical but some had been going for a few months...
[05:51] <Myke1> Cyqotiq and Soreau: I got it, Grid does what i'd like it to do. Thanks a bunch :)
[05:52] <cyqotiq> Myke1: np
[05:52] <zruty> mobi-sheep: Found them... what can I do with these?
[05:52] <Guest90926> Got home from work went to turn on computer and it hangs at Starting Crypto Disks..... I don't even have encryption setup on this computer.  Help!
[05:52] <Roxyhart08> but this is ubuntu or ubuntu-server?
[05:52] <Out_Cold> Roxyhart08, it's the same thing really...
[05:52] <Billlll> http://unimelb.edu.au/  <--- This a good university saw it in one of the spam bots :D
[05:52] <mneptok> Roxyhart08: you need to register your nick to use -server at this time
[05:53] <mneptok> Out_Cold: no, it is not the same.
[05:53] <mobi-sheep> zruty: There are support in #transmission -- The idea is that you copy (rather than move) the content to the new path. Set the new path in ~/.config/transmission/setting* ; then you pop in <whatever>.torrent in ~/.config/transmission/resume/ -- Now, try and start Transmission.
[05:53] <Out_Cold> oh there actually is a server channel??? i always use this channel :p
[05:53] <Roxyhart08> yes, but how i do that ?
[05:54] <mneptok> Roxyhart08: /msg NickServ help register
[05:54] <Out_Cold> !resister
[05:54] <Roxyhart08> is there any special thing to do to regustrate my nick?
[05:54] <cyqotiq> Anyone know if X-Chat (still) supports hiding the Join/Part messages?  I'm not finding it.
[05:54] <mobi-sheep> cyqotiq: Right-click on the channel tab.
[05:54] <Out_Cold> cyqotiq, it's right click on the channel on far left
[05:54] <cyqotiq> Out_Cold: th
[05:54] <cyqotiq> x
[05:54] <cyqotiq> and mobi-sheep :)
[05:55] <Roxyhart08> sorry i am new in that before i was in wenchat so  dont know what are you saying
[05:55] <cyqotiq> ahh... peaceful, now. :)
[05:55] <Roxyhart08> need to send a msg?
[05:55] <malsyned> Anybody know how to get Empathy to actually pop up new IM windows when people IM me instead of just notifying my in the tray?
[05:55] <Roxyhart08> at someone?
[05:56] <mneptok> Roxyhart08: please ask in #freenode if you do not understand the instructions i gave you
[05:56] <mobi-sheep> Roxyhart08: A nickname servicing channel bot, yes.
[05:56] <Out_Cold> Roxyhart08, http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml
[05:57] <cyqotiq> malnilion: Try disabling the "Use Message Indicators" option?  Just guessing
[05:57] <whammo> cyqotiq: i think ATI Mobility Radeon HD4330
[05:57] <cyqotiq> you shouldn't have a problem with that card.
[05:57] <Roxyhart08> ok, thanks
[05:57] <cyqotiq> sorry, that was something of an obvious statement.
[05:58] <whammo> cyqotiq: scratch that, it's working now. took an really unusual amount of time but it's going
[05:59] <zruty> mobi-sheep: ... that seems not to work....
[05:59] <cyqotiq> ATi has proprietary drivers.  If you're just "trying" it, then it's probably just running in direct FB mode.. but I have never heard the login sounds before the video showed up.  Odd.
[06:00] <zruty> How to update to a later version? apt-cache does not show the version #,  the GUI does not allow me to install. I just did an apt-get update but that did not do anythnig with transmission
[06:00] <mobi-sheep> zruty: I'm on different version than you but I'll test it (w/o setting location).
[06:00] <cyqotiq> zruty: That method works, but it's tricky.  I'd say your best bet is to upgrade and restart X-mission
[06:00] <cyqotiq> Are you on Hardy?
[06:00] <mobi-sheep> zruty: There are PPA that will push you to 1.76
[06:00] <zruty> 9.04
[06:00] <zruty> Tthat's jackalope I think
[06:00] <cyqotiq> Jaunty... you should be able to update.
[06:01] <cyqotiq> You may want to try using the System > Admin > Package Manager and try a manual update
[06:02] <mobi-sheep> zruty: https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/ppa
[06:02] <cyqotiq> or updating your source list might work, too :)
[06:02] <mobi-sheep> zruty: You did "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade" ?
[06:03] <cyqotiq> Out of curiosity, is there a reason you're staying with Jaunty instead of doing a distro upgrade?
[06:03] <c0l2e> how can I add permanent folder to PATH right  now??
[06:03] <c0l2e> 9.10 doesn't have the usual /home/user/bin now
[06:04] <jimisrvrox1> hey guys if anybody has a minute I am having probs with my RT2500 using ubuntu 9.04. getting no dchpoffers
[06:04] <mobi-sheep> c0l2e: That is for user's private bin (if it exists).
[06:04] <cyqotiq> edit your ~/.profile and export your appended PATH variable
[06:04] <mobi-sheep> c0l2e: In other word, create a folder "bin" and place your candy scripts there.
[06:04] <c0l2e> hmm
[06:04] <zruty> cyqotiq: I need to plan such a big upgrade... it is not just a desktop computer
[06:04] <c0l2e> i'll try
[06:04] <cyqotiq> zruty: Gotcha.  Just asking.
[06:05] <neil_d> anyone know if the Leadtek vc100xp works under ubuntu?

[06:07] <cyqotiq> jk
[06:07] <cyqotiq> Is it the same icons that "keep" disappearing?
[06:08] <zruty> the package manager does nto allow me tot mark it for upgrade...

[06:09] <firevai> hi everyone.. how are you all today?
[06:09] <DasEi> kingbilly: hmm, have you got a live cd ?
[06:09] <Myrtti> !hi | firevai
[06:09] <firevai> i have a lil problem.. i went mucking with trying to kill pulse audio for skype, and now when i click restart.. it doesnt respond.. now i have do manually in terminal reboot. any ideas what i may have done.. i've also uninstalled skype, and i still have the icon in applications/internet
[06:10] <cyqotiq> zruty: If you have to add it (I'm guessing you will) then close, and do an 'sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade'
[06:10] <firevai> i removed the exe from /usr/bin..
[06:11] <firevai> firstly i removed it with synaptec pkg manager
 no
[06:11] <disappearedng_> cyqotiq what bottom left are you talking about
[06:11] <cyqotiq> disappearedng_: I was kidding.
[06:12] <cyqotiq> disappearedng_: Which icons are disappearing?
[06:12] <disappearedng_> xchat, azureus
[06:12] <cyqotiq> are the programs still running, or do they get killed, too?
[06:12] <firevai> i tried rm -r skype.. didnt work either
[06:12] <disappearedng_> pretty much only those that will disappear when you exit the GUI
[06:12] <disappearedng_> actually ps aux seems to show that they are indeed alive]
[06:13] <cyqotiq> I had a similar issue in 9.04 once.  Phantom issue.  After about a week, it stopped.
[06:13] <c0l2e> thanks everyone
[06:13] <zruty> cyqotiq: .. having some trouble adding it into my sources.list ; it keeps telling me there is a malformed line
[06:14] <firevai> any suggestions.. i can post the link for the page that i found to disable pulse.. and show the lines i did in term... maybe that mucked my restart from working
[06:14] <Myke1> In Virtualbox, how do you load up and run the Additions "CD"... I load it up and click on the Vboxlinuxadditions-am64.run but it wont let me install it because i am not in root... how do i Sudo it in terminal?
[06:14] <zruty> Oh think I can figure this one out
[06:15] <cyqotiq> zruty: Also, you may need to enable the 'universe' packages.  can't remember if x-mission is in 'main' or not.
[06:16] <DasEi> Myke1: meet me in  #vbox ?
[06:16] <zruty> cyqotiq: universe is in there. But now it says somethting the public key is not available
[06:16] <nikitis> How do you temporarily disable 3d Compisition
[06:16] <firevai> can anyone point me in the right direction for my problem please?
[06:16] <Myke1> ok
[06:16] <kingbilly> DasEi: i do, but i actually booted to another partition i still had
[06:17] <silv3r_m00n> shud i apply all updates in synaptic ?
[06:17] <DasEi> kingbilly: so can you access your ""crypted"" files ? ? are they mountable ?
[06:17] <cyqotiq> zruty: Actually go look at this page: https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/ppa
[06:17] <firevai> i tried to kill pulse audio from a forum, and now when i click restart it doesnt respond.... i have to manually do it in terminal.. any ideas?
[06:18] <cyqotiq> The instructions are all laid out, pretty simple.  Look for the link that says "Not running Karmic?"
[06:18] <firevai> and i cant get the skype icon to go away in applications/internet
[06:18] <kingbilly> DasEi: yes i can access them.  I mounted, chroot, update, and i'm gonna run update-initramfs -u when this upgrade is done
[06:18] <Roxyhart08> question, someone have experience with ubuntu 9.10 server...it is better or have a lot of bugs?
[06:18] <Kentrel> A couple of times lately my Ubuntu has slowed to a crawl and all I can hear is my disk being access
[06:18] <Kentrel> My computer becomes unusuable
[06:18] <Kentrel> I think it might be Vuze, but are there any diagnostic programs I can run in the background in case it happens again?
[06:19] <DasEi> kingbilly: good approach, else update grub another try
[06:19] <kingbilly> DasEi: I am wondering if the computer doesn't actually think my harddrive is encrypted, but is actually hung up on whatever the next part of the boot sequence is
[06:19] <Kentrel> I have a dual core and both cores run at 100%
[06:19] <firevai> ok wellll guess theres no hope for me atm lol.. take care everyone.. guess i will go search the world of google
[06:19] <cyqotiq> disappearedng_: If you go into one of the programs whose icon has disappeared, and then try unchecking the "show tray icon" (or whatever the wording might be), then RE-checking it, does the icon come back?
[06:19] <danbhfive> Kentrel: I like to add the system monitor applet.  You can also use the termial command `top`
[06:20] <firevai> p.s i've found updating from 9.04 to 9.10 makes my system slow, and lags really bad
[06:20] <kingbilly> DasEi: is there a command to update grub?
[06:20] <cyqotiq> firevai: What are your specs?
[06:20] <DasEi> kingbilly: karmic / grub 2 ?

[06:20] <Kentrel> .danbh,. but what can I run that will keep logs that I can check when I reboot
[06:21] <Kentrel> When my computer has become unusable I have no option but to reboot
[06:21] <cyqotiq> kingbilly: update-grub
[06:21] <firevai> sorry i have bad eyes.. if i miss what you say.. i'm sorry
[06:21] <kingbilly> DasEi: LinuxMint KDE 8 touched the grub last... i'm not sure if it is grub 1/2
[06:21] <cyqotiq> firevai: 32 or 64 bit?
[06:21] <firevai> 32
[06:22] <DasEi> kingbilly: if you got a file : /etc/default/grub,    its grub2 , then can do sudo update-grub
[06:22] <firevai> i'm really trying to sort this skype, and restart problem atm
[06:22] <firevai> i cant get skype completely out of my system.. i still have the icon in applications/internet, and when i click restart.. nothing happens.. i have to manually do it in term
[06:23] <kingbilly> DasEi: thanks             Thank you cyqotiq
[06:23] <cyqotiq> np
[06:23] <cyqotiq> firevai: does the icon launch skype, or is the app completely remove?
[06:23] <cyqotiq> *removed
[06:23] <firevai> it doesnt launch it.. i removed it from usr/bin
[06:24] <firevai> but first uninstalled through synaptec
[06:24] <cyqotiq> ok.. this is just a kludge, but you can use the menu editor (System > Preferences > Main Menu) to remove the icon.
[06:25] <firevai> oh ok thanks didnt see that
[06:25] <cyqotiq> np
[06:25] <andrea> ciao a tutti
[06:25] <firevai> cyqotiq,  you rock
[06:25] <kingbilly> DasEi: sudo update-grub 'Cannot find list of partitions!'
[06:25] <firevai> now any suggestions on why my restart wont restart?
[06:26] <zruty> cyqotiq: Wonderful! Figured it out with a lot of help from you! Got to go download by download but that will take a few months less time than to restart them all. Thanks!
[06:26] <zruty> mobi-sheep: Thanks to you too!
[06:26] <firevai> sudo find /boot/grub/stage1 ... kingbilly? maybe
[06:26] <Brandon_> so what happens when it says : Package mysql-server-4.1 is not available, but is referred to by another package, this may mean that the package is missing, ha been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
[06:26] <cyqotiq> zruty: np, good luck
[06:26] <DasEi> kingbilly: same harddrive?
[06:26] <firevai> brb one min please
[06:26] <mobi-sheep> zruty: If you didn't know, you need to run those two commands (first, to update the software database, second, to obtian and install/update the packages). :)
[06:27] <danbhfive> Brandon_: it means the package doesn't really exist, except as a passing reference
[06:27] <kingbilly> DasEi: yeah one hard drive, i entered the command on my chrooted partition
[06:28] <Snausages> hrm
[06:28] <Brandon_> so if i have directions to install that and i get that messege, should i find newer version thatn 4.1?
[06:28] <DasEi> kingbilly: still a little more to do : http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[06:29] <kingbilly> firevai: no luck (also, the wiki says to ignore this if you have multiple os entries.  I have 3 different os)
[06:29] <firevai> ahh ok sorry..
[06:30] <DasEi> kingbilly: but beforehand, check if initramfs hasn't resolved it, grub is before cryption is called, so posibly still in order (though wrong labels there can cause that behaviour, too)
[06:30] <firevai> sorry brb
[06:30] <cyqotiq> Anyone know of any reading material on 10.04 plans?
[06:30] <zruty> mobi-sheep: Yes, I figured it out, also how to import that gpg key and everything. I am now on 1.76 and am setting locations and verifying local data.

[06:31] <kingbilly> DasEi: okay.  had success with updating grub from your link.. i didn't mount /sys for chrooting
[06:31] <ouyes> how is the flgrx driver works in the 9.10
[06:32] <firevai> ok back sorry
[06:32] <kingbilly> DasEi: going to restart. thanks for the help *crosses fingers*
[06:32] <DasEi> ouyes: depends on card, for me the opensorce radeonHD did best
[06:32] <DasEi> kingbilly: yess
[06:32] <firevai> cyqotiq, may i msg you please?
[06:32] <ouyes> cyqotiq, this is the plan http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-10-04-LTS-Release-Schedule-122658.shtml

[06:36] <PDG1> I just did the same thing as hunt... but I'm having some trouble with using the proper permission so that my user can create files and folders on the drive
[06:36] <DasEi> ouyes: which distro ?
[06:37] <hunt> DasEi: sda8
[06:37] <ouyes> DasEi,  when i follow the steps of the instruction on how to install open source drive for ati , i can not find some files

[06:37] <PDG1> gksudo?
[06:38] <DasEi> hunt: scroll down, add a line :
[06:38] <danbhfive> Brandon_: please don't forget to use my name.   I think mysql has been 5.x for awhile now.  Maybe just use 5.x?  I have no idea what those versions really mean...
[06:38] <danbhfive> Brandon_: but anyway, Im off to bed, so good luck!
[06:38] <ouyes> danbhfive,  they mean nothing just numbers

[06:39] <chreekat> What am I supposed to do when pulseaudio uses 50% of my cpu and hydrogen pops and stutters uselessly? I haven't installed anything manually besides hydrogen itself
[06:39] <hunt> DasEi: the "user" means I have access as normal user right?
[06:39] <DasEi> hunt : save fstab, exit gedit
[06:40] <chreekat> as a bonus, hydrogen segfaults when run from a terminal
[06:40] <DasEi> hunt: comin soon, PDG1
[06:40] <chreekat> but not from the Application smenu
[06:40] <DasEi> hunt : yes
[06:41] <DasEi> hunt :(in trml) sudo mkdir /media/ntfs
[06:41] <DasEi> ( in trml )
[06:41] <hunt> DasEi: thx I'll give it a try
[06:41] <PDG1> DasEi, isn't there a man page on FStab or something?
[06:41] <rumpsy> DasEi: making that dir is not necessary
[06:42] <DasEi> hunt : sudo chown -R  huntOrWhatever /media/ntfs
[06:42] <DasEi> hunt : your regular username
[06:42] <hunt> DasEi: yeah... finished?
[06:42] <DasEi> hunt : sudo mount -a , done
[06:42] <rumpsy> DasEi: continue, you are on right path
[06:43] <DasEi> rumpsy: ;-)
[06:43] <hunt> DasEi: thx, I'll be back in 2 minutes
[06:43] <actionparsnip> Yo yo yo
[06:43] <DasEi> PDG1: got it , fstab / chown mountdir ?
[06:43] <PDG1> DasEi, chown mount dir?
[06:44] <theadmin> Anybody here experiencing browser freezes while Java applets load?
[06:44] <actionparsnip> Theadmin: does it happen in all browsers?
[06:44] <rumpsy> PDG1: DasEi given a brief lesson to hunt, look logs
[06:44] <PDG1> I'm trying to allow any user access to this drive. Via Samba o whatever
[06:45] <theadmin> actionparsnip: I only use Firefox, actually, but it seems so to me. Happens in Opera too at least.
[06:45] <actionparsnip> Theadmin: do you have the latest java? Are you using a 64bit OS? If so are you using 64bit java or the 32bit one via nspluginwrapper?
[06:46] <theadmin> actionparsnip: Woah woah. 32bit OS. Using Java from repositories.
[06:46] <PDG1> so if I want to change ownership of the mount to everyone... I would put nobody? is that right? DasEi
[06:46] <DasEi> ouyes: still there ?
[06:46] <rumpsy> PDG1: user
[06:46] <DasEi> PDG1: nope.. well open a trml
[06:46] <actionparsnip> Theadmin: ok that's cool. Is it all java applets?
[06:46] <hunt> DasEi: works, great thank you
[06:46] <ouyes> DasEi,  of course you are busy
[06:46] <DasEi> hunt : good to see
[06:46] <hunt> DasEi: now for the second part
[06:47] <DasEi> ouyes: still there ?
[06:47] <actionparsnip> Theadmin: I suggest you hit www.java.com to check you have the latest pplugin
[06:47] <theadmin> actionparsnip: Pretty much yeah, except for really small ones. It only hangs while they are loading, after it it returns to normal
[06:47] <DasEi> ouyes: sry, we can try envy, see how far ati got
[06:47] <ouyes> DasEi, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver this is the link for 7.10
[06:47] <actionparsnip> Theadmin: i'd log a bug with firefox for the hanging
[06:48] <DasEi> ouyes: (trml) sudo apt-get install envyng-qt
[06:48] <rumpsy> theadmin: it may also due conflicts, i think so
[06:48] <theadmin> actionparsnip: It sezzit mine version is 6.15, recommended is 6.18. But I don't wanna use software that is present in repositories not from them. Whatever. I think I can live with that... And indeed I'd send a bug to mozilla
[06:48] <ouyes> DasEi,  tell me your purpose why envy?
[06:48] <hunt> DasEi: I want to automatically access certain folders on this partition when I enter a folder on my normal system, for example if I enter ~/documents, I want to be automatically linked to the documents folder on this partition
[06:49] <actionparsnip> Theadmin: i'd get that sorted first.
[06:49] <DasEi> PDG1: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/fstab
[06:49] <DasEi> hunt : man ln  tells you
[06:49] <ouyes> DasEi,  i do not want to do expriment on my system without knowing what is the target
[06:49] <mobi-sheep> hunt: Symbolic Links. "cd ; ln -s /path/to/other/partition/Documents ."

[06:50] <ouyes> envy! | Dasda
[06:50] <toyol> hello, can someone help me here... i want to know how to fast format on ubuntu /dev/sdb (6TB)
[06:50] <actionparsnip> Not envy! Noooo
[06:50] <chreekat> exciting! an aptitude update gives new versions of pulseaudio. problem not solved, but at least different
[06:50] <DasEi> actionparsnip: take over a hd3400 on jaunty ?
[06:50] <theadmin> Also, what's with the "This product was created by Debian and Ubuntu, based on OpenOffice.org"?... I mean, I don't see any differences except for this text in about box.
[06:51] <maco> theadmin: it's not pure OO.o. it's actual Go-OOo, which is a community version of OOo with extra features
[06:51] <actionparsnip> Toyol: what filesystem do you want to use? You don't just 'format' partitions
[06:51] <maco> theadmin: because getting patches into upstream OOo is a pain
[06:51] <ouyes> Dasda,  wait for a while , it is installing
[06:52] <chreekat> Oh, spoke too soon.
[06:52] <actionparsnip> Dasei: nvidia all the way dude :)
[06:52] <ouyes> DasEi,  it needs 8 minutes to install
[06:52] <PDG1> DasEi, guessing you want the pastebin URL
[06:52] <toyol> actionparsnip : ntfs
[06:52] <PDG1> DasEi, http://pastebin.com/f3a9886f1
[06:52] <DasEi> actionparsnip: me huggles it, too meanwhile , eh
[06:53] <actionparsnip> Toyol: you can install ntfsprogs (I think its that) and you can format partitions to ntfs (you don't format disks)
[06:53] <zah2an> hello all
[06:53] <toyol> actionparsnip : already . what command ?
[06:53] <ouyes> zah2an,  hi you
[06:53] <actionparsnip> Toyol: as for 'quick' I am not sure how it can be quicker
[06:53] <ouyes> hi! | zah2an
[06:53] <toyol> right now i use mke2fs -j /dev/sdb
[06:53] <DasEi> PDG1: so there is no entry for any additional partiton..
[06:53] <zah2an> how's everyone?
[06:54] <ouyes> ! hi | zah2an
[06:54] <actionparsnip> Toyol: search software center for ntfs. You will see the package. Its ntfsprogs or ntfs apps or somesuch
[06:54] <DasEi> PDG1: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[06:54] <LucidGuy> I have about 40 ubuntu workstations that I want to all have the exact same packages installed.  Any recommendations?

[06:54] <actionparsnip> !clone | lucidguy
[06:55] <CAPcap> whenever i try to play warsow it just changes my screen resolution and doesnt do anything else. help?
[06:55] <DasEi> LucidGuy: or a :
[06:55] <DasEi> !ltsp
[06:55] <LucidGuy> !automate
[06:55] <actionparsnip> Lucidguy: if the systems are identical you can set one up then use partimage to create an Image of the root partition and spit it onto the others
[06:56] <DasEi> ouyes: installed ?
[06:56] <LucidGuy> actionparsnip, Thats one way to do it, but they all are quite different when it comes to hardware.
[06:56] <LucidGuy> !cloning
[06:56] <cyqotiq> CAPcap: Changing the screen resolution is a fairly simple request that is often left un-reversed with programs that crash before correcting it.  Have you tried launching the program from a terminal?  Maybe there's something there that will give a bit more insight.
[06:56] <ouyes> DasEi,  3 minutes later
[06:57] <actionparsnip> Lucidguy: gotcha, the !clone will do you nicely
[06:57] <PDG1> DasEi, http://pastebin.com/f145a0fd2
[06:58] <CAPcap> cyqotiq, http://paste.ubuntu.com/364386/
[06:58] <CAPcap> doesnt change my resolution when i run from the terminal
[06:58] <PDG1> DasEi, I didn't think I needed to add it to fstab. I figured it would do it automagically when i created the partition
[06:59] <DasEi> PDG1: so you got another situation there, a 1g external (usb) foramtted with an ext fs
[06:59] <shleda> hi, I am n00b in python, how do I make .pyc file run on double click, I am on karmic
[07:00] <shleda> the .pyc file runs on command prompt as it is executable
[07:00] <DasEi> PDG1: ooh, sory. it's a TB hd
[07:00] <cyqotiq> CAPcap: Looks like it's trying to use something that your hardware doesn't support (or at least that you don't have driver support for)
[07:01] <ouyes> DasEi,  it is done then what to do ( ati driver open source)
[07:01] <DasEi> PDG1: is it inbuild or removable ?
[07:01] <PDG1> DasEI, yeah... i was gunna say :P but it still seems like I've got the wrong permissions or something
[07:01] <cyqotiq> CAPcap: XFree86-VidModeExtension (on line 102) and XF86VidModeGetGammaRamp (on line 103)
[07:01] <CAPcap> cyqotiq, yeah its prob asking for 3D which isnt supported well in the open driver for my card
[07:01] <PDG1> DasEi, inbuild
[07:01] <cyqotiq> what is your chipset?
[07:01] <DasEi> PDG1: have to add it to fstab then
[07:02] <CAPcap> ati mobility radeon 900
[07:02] <CAPcap> 9000***
[07:02] <PDG1> DasEi, err... removable isn't the same as external, right?
[07:02] <actionparsnip> Shelda: mark it as executable with chmod +x /path/to/file.pyc
[07:02] <CAPcap> which ati no longer supports so i cant get prop drivers either
[07:02] <DasEi> ouyes: the open source will do, but if we can get envy to use the ati ones, result will be better
[07:03] <actionparsnip> Shelda: you will also need the right first line in the file. I don't know the path but it will be something like: #!/bin/python
[07:03] <DasEi> PDG1: removable is like sata-plugable or usb, internal is in-case
[07:03] <ouyes> DasEi,  ok () i jsut want to remind you the issue
[07:03] <shleda> it is there, I told you, I can run it on command prompt but when I double click on it, wont run
[07:03] <actionparsnip> Shelda: it will then be double clickable, you may want to right click the script and mark it to run in terminal too
[07:03] <DasEi> PDG1: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[07:04] <ouyes> DasEi,  what to do then after installing
[07:04] <DasEi> PDG1: scroll down, add a line :
[07:04] <cyqotiq> CAPcap: That's the best I can come up with, off hand
[07:04] <DasEi> ouyes: the path I choosed ws to look for propitarys first, you want open source only ?
[07:05] <cyqotiq> CAPcap: Is there a settings dialog where you can turn the hardware support off?
[07:05] <shleda> here is the error-> There is no application installed for Python bytecode files
[07:05] <DasEi> PDG1: you formatted the 1 tb to ext3 or 4 ?
[07:05] <CAPcap> cyqotiq, where? for what?
[07:06] <actionparsnip> Shelda: those 3 things are all you need. Correct top line so the interpretter sees it as python, marked as executa ble using chmod and set to run in a terminal (if suitable, you can always undo it)
[07:06] <cyqotiq> CAPcap: For warsow.  I'm not familiar with it.
[07:06] <user42> can someone help me w/ grub?
[07:06] <toyol> hai
[07:06] <ouyes> DasEi,  ah man i already install envyng-qt
[07:06] <PDG1> DasEi, ext3 .. is that a problem?
[07:06] <shleda> kumar@kumar:~$ ls -al myfortune.pyc
[07:06] <shleda> -rwxr-xr-x 1 kumar kumar 1423 2010-01-27 00:22 myfortune.pyc
[07:06] <CAPcap> cyqotiq, its a game. and it just never loads so i cant really change any settings in it
[07:06] <actionparsnip> Shleda: not sure there. Afaik ubuntu comes with nice python stuff
[07:06] <ouyes> DasEi,  ws stands for what?
[07:06] <actionparsnip> !python
[07:07] <toyol> can help me.. what command to stay if i want to quit my ssh ? and this process still run ?
[07:07] <DasEi> ouyes: envy is an app to install prop drives, nothing happens with just having it installed
[07:07] <actionparsnip> Not useful there
[07:07] <DasEi> ouyes: was
[07:07] <actionparsnip> Toyol: look into screen
[07:07] <cyqotiq> CAPcap: Then the best I know to say is check google for a fix.  Maybe there's a manual hack to the settings file or something.  otherwise, I don't know.
[07:08] <user42> i'm trying to follow: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1046635&page=2 but i am getting "sudo: grub: command not found"
[07:08] <DasEi> PDG1: no fine, so line for fstab :
[07:08] <CAPcap> cyqotiq, thanks for your help.
[07:08] <Diverdude> is there any way i can change the behaviour of a window when i double click the top of the window.. i would like it to have the behaviour of alternating between maximized and restore window instead of the efault behaviour. Is this possible?
[07:08] <cyqotiq> CAPcap: np... sorry I couldn't be more help
[07:08] <DasEi> PDG1: /dev/sdb1   /media/sdb1    ext3  user,auto,rw,exec   0    0
[07:08] <ouyes> DasEi,  so next step?
[07:09] <actionparsnip> Ouyes: does: gksudo jockey-gtk not offer you a driver?
[07:09] <PDG1> DasEi, how do we know it's sdb1? where did you find that?
[07:09] <PDG1> did we find that*
[07:10] <emma> test
[07:10] <PDG1> DasEi, nm... found it :P
[07:10] <shleda> actionparsnip: what I basically want is to let others run my python app on their machines as a simple application
[07:10] <DasEi> ouyes: sudo synaptic, look if one (or all) are installed, if so, remove them :
[07:10] <DasEi> xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-kernel-source fglrx-modaliases fglrx-amdcccle
[07:10] <actionparsnip> Diverdude: I think that's under mouse settings. I believe the default is rollup but it can be changed to max/restore. If you use compiz its in ccsm (I think)
[07:10] <ouyes> DasEi,  one what ?
[07:11] <actionparsnip> Shleda: not unreasonable
[07:11] <DasEi> PDG1: save fstab, close gedit
[07:11] <linkiduu> Hi..Login screen appears..but when logged in , terminal is opening :(
[07:11] <ouyes> DasEi,   sudo synaptic nothing come out
[07:11] <linkiduu> gnome is installed..
[07:11] <PDG1> DasEI, unmount and then Mount?
[07:11] <DasEi> ouyes: one package
[07:11] <shleda> actionparsnip: i was in python room and they asked me to nag you guys :)
[07:11] <DasEi> PDG1: sudo mkdir /media/sdb1
[07:12] <linkiduu> can some one please tell how to start gnome ?
[07:12] <actionparsnip> Shleda: have you marked the file to run in a terminal?
[07:12] <PDG1> I've already got a mountpoint for it... but no harm making another :P
[07:12] <DasEi> PDG1: sudo chown -R <UrUsernameHere> /media/sdb1
[07:12] <DasEi> PDG1: sudo mount -a
[07:12] <linkiduu> can some one please tell how to start gnome ?
[07:12] <DasEi> ouyes: sudo synaptic
[07:12] <shleda> actionparsnip: yes, i can run it as ./myfortune.pyc and it works as intended
[07:12] <ouyes> DasEi, sudo synaptic nothing come out
[07:13] <DasEi> linkiduu: sudo gdm start
[07:13] <linkiduu> ok..thanks DasEi
[07:13] <DasEi> ouyes: should raise a gui
[07:13] <actionparsnip> Dasei: you can use $USER to show the username ;)

[07:14] <Diverdude> actionparsnip, hmm but i wonder where in ccsm
[07:15] <actionparsnip> Shleda: seems a different top line is in order. If push comes to shove make a bash script to run the command (bit ott but will work)

[07:18] <PDG1> DasEi, nope :P
[07:18] <linkiduu> DasEi : thanks..now gui is loaded ..
[07:18] <DasEi> PDG1: sure, unmount it first (sudo unmount /dev/sdb1 for each mountpoint, mount tells you if it's mounted)
[07:18] <ouyes> DasEi,  sudo: envyng-qt: command not found
[07:18] <PDG1> DasEi, unable to create folders and i can only imagine files... I can see the lost and found folder.
[07:20] <DasEi> ouyes: I got you wrong in so far that I thought you had any (sluggish) desktop at all, so command line only it is, not terminal
[07:20] <DasEi> sudo apt-get install envyng-core
[07:20] <SpaceGhostC2C> ouyes, do you need hardware drivers?

[07:24] <SpaceGhostC2C> w3l54666: what card do you have?
[07:25] <linkiduu> thechef : theres a addon for mozilla firefox
[07:25] <w3l54666> its onbord on my lappy
[07:25] <DasEi> w3l54666: you can use envy to first uninstall the driver again, then rme
[07:25] <w3l54666> got it to look at it and it messed up :P
[07:25] <DasEi> *then remove it itsel, w3l54666
[07:25] <PDG1> DasEi, Error creating directory: Permission denied
[07:25] <DasEi> PDG1: sudo mkdir /media/sdb1
[07:25] <w3l54666> DasEi: will sudo apt-get autoremove work for it???
[07:26] <DasEi> w3l54666: NO
[07:26] <w3l54666> because its going summat
[07:26] <w3l54666> y?
[07:26] <w3l54666> DasEi: i went here
[07:26] <w3l54666> DasEi: http://albertomilone.com/envyngfaq.html#A
[07:26] <SpaceGhostC2C> w3l54666: I'll let DasEi handle you. he or she seems to have it covered. I'm back to ubuntu-offtopic.
[07:26] <PDG1> DasEi, but that folder already exists ... I made it earlier...
[07:26] <w3l54666> SpaceGhostC2C: ok ty
[07:27] <DasEi> PDG1: so when do get that error ?
[07:27] <w3l54666> DasEi: then in terminal it said to use sudo apt-get autoremove
[07:27] <DasEi> PDG1: Error creating directory: Permission denied  ??
[07:27] <w3l54666> brb need to reboot
[07:27] <PDG1> DasEi, when i use the file manager and try to create a folder using user "media"
[07:28] <thechef> linkiduu, mmh i'd check that - but if that is all i'm required to write in my own since i'm going to use it as a cronjob
[07:29] <DasEi> PDG1: you followed the steps... you chownded the dir to the regular system user... you call him/her media..
[07:29] <DasEi> PDG1: pastebinit /etc/fstab
[07:29] <DasEi> PDG1: your regual user is media ? output from whoami ?
[07:30] <PDG1> yeah, regular username is media
[07:30] <PDG1> DasEi, http://pastebin.com/f6b8db5a9
[07:30] <DasEi> PDG1: sudo chown -R media  /media/sdb1
[07:31] <DasEi> PDG1: fstab looks correct
[07:31] <DasEi> PDG1: should work then
[07:32] <BlackDalek> I am trying to install ubuntu 9.10 on a laptop. When the ubuntu CD boots up I get no text - only boxes instead of letters. I caqn't read anything in the installer. How do I get a readable display to install ubuntu?
[07:33] <DasEi> BlackDalek: maybe a corrupt medium or a broken drive ? else try the text installer (alternate)
[07:34] <PDG1> DasEi, still not working properly. but now I'm unable to unmount
[07:34] <w3l54666> DasEi: envy has been uninstalled, yet my monitor aint recognised
[07:35] <BlackDalek> the laptop is a HP pavillion dv9000 - I am downloading the alternate installer now.
[07:35] <DasEi> w3l54666: if you used envy to install a (bad driver), first have to uninstall the driver, then envy
[07:36] <w3l54666> DasEi: how do i unistall the driver???
[07:36] <DasEi> PDG1: again :   mount | pastebinit
[07:36] <DasEi> w3l54666: easiest in reverse, by using envy
[07:36] <w3l54666> so install envy again
[07:37] <PDG1> DasEi, http://pastebin.com/f3aead9ce
[07:37] <w3l54666> DasEi: uninstall driver then unistall envy
[07:37] <DasEi> w3l54666: easiest I think, unless you know the packge name , then synaptic or apt
[07:38] <PDG1> DasEi, maybe i just need a reboot?
[07:38] <paddy_melon> Hey guys, anyone know why my Ubuntu NBR which I downloaded and installed (karmic) just 2 days ago just did a distro update? I haven't added the dev updates for lucid either... apart from some programs added, it's just stock UNR
[07:38] <paddy_melon> *unbr
[07:38] <DasEi> PDG1: yes, would fix it, it's still sticky from the former mount
[07:39] <nomnex> I need to remove 3 commands I have passed. it's in gconf-editor. The 3 commands here http://pastebin.com/m3c80f08e, can you help. I want to remove them
[07:39] <nomnex> What's the syntax
[07:39] <Guest47686> everytime the computer gets unplugged, the screen turns off until I shake the mouse or type a key. Why does this happen?
[07:39] <PDG1> brb home skillet
[07:40] <Guest47686> also  how do I adjust the brightness on the monitor?
[07:40] <mobi-sheep> nomnex: ALT + F2 -- Type in "gconf-editor" -- You figure out next. :o
[07:40] <nomnex> mobi-sheep, I want to remove the keys, completely
[07:41] <mobi-sheep> nomnex: Do it in gconf-editor
[07:41] <nomnex> mobi-sheep, you cannot remove keys you add from the GUI.
[07:41] <paddy_melon> Hey guys, anyone know why my Ubuntu NBR which I downloaded and installed (karmic) just 2 days ago just did a distro update? I haven't added the dev updates for lucid either... apart from some programs added, it's just stock UNR
[07:41] <jlpicard1701e> Hi!
[07:41] <paddy_melon> hi!
[07:41] <nomnex> mobi-sheep, you need to use the command line
[07:42] <Guest47686> halp!
[07:42] <jlpicard1701e> I'd like to make my own domain controler but i don't know wich kind of distrib i should use.... someone got an idea
[07:42] <DasEi> w3l54666: do you get by so far ? to remove (after killing wrong driver) sudo apt-get remove --purge envyng*
[07:43] <Guest47686> do I have voice in this channel?
[07:43] <mobi-sheep> Guest47686: We read you.
[07:43] <Awesome3000> Guest47686: Are you asking if people can hear you

[07:43] <maco> Guest47686: this channel isnt +m
[07:44] <nomnex> mobi-sheep, these key have no schema, do you know how to remove them?
[07:44] <w3l54666> DasEi: i re-installed envy now and it aint showing n e driver i installed
[07:44] <jlpicard1701e> Guest47686>  I can read ya' !
[07:44] <Guest47686> irc is still pretty confusing to me
[07:44] <mobi-sheep> nomnex: I'm reading the manual page. You could try --unset
[07:44] <w3l54666> DasEi: so im guessing its about sumwhere
[07:44] <w3l54666> DasEi: its just not recognising my laptop display
[07:44] <Awesome3000> Guest47686: The trick is to get a easy client
[07:44] <DasEi> w3l54666: is it nvidia or ati ?
[07:44] <aaqil> what is text notepad name in xfce?
[07:44] <w3l54666> i thought it was Ati
[07:44] <Guest47686> I came here to ask how I can keep this laptop from turning off the screen every time it accidentally unplugs
[07:44] <Awesome3000> aaqil: Mousepad
[07:44] <w3l54666> DasEi: but obviously not
[07:45] <DasEi> w3l54666: oo
[07:45] <w3l54666> DasEi: its onboard
[07:45] <Awesome3000> aaqil: But I don't think it is defualt installed
[07:45] <DasEi> w3l54666: set by step then
[07:45] <aaqil> yes i found it mousepad
[07:45] <Guest47686> Awesome3000, I'm using xchat, does that count?
[07:45] <w3l54666> DasEi: how?
[07:45] <PDG1> DasEi: Empathy sucks for IRC anyway :P
[07:45] <DasEi> w3l54666: sudo envyng -t
[07:45] <Awesome3000> Guest47686: I'm using Opera
[07:45] <nomnex> mobi-sheep, I will tray that, what manual page do you read?
[07:45] <mobi-sheep> nomnex: http://www.gnome.org/~shaunm/admin-guide/gconf-6.html
[07:46] <PDG1> DasEi: we reign victorious.
[07:46] <paddy_melon> Hey guys, anyone know why my Ubuntu NBR which I downloaded and installed (karmic) just 2 days ago just did a distro update? I haven't added the dev updates for lucid either... apart from some programs added, it's just stock UNR
[07:46] <DasEi> w3l54666: remove ati driver

[07:48] <Guest47686> anybody know how to adjust screen brightness?
[07:48] <paddy_melon> Gues47686, this is usually done by the monitor
[07:48] <mi1558> juju?
[07:48] <McBauseline> Mimi?
[07:49] <mi1558> jo :D
[07:49] <McBauseline> ;D
[07:49] <McBauseline> school sucks?! :D
[07:49] <mi1558> ;)
[07:49] <Guest47686> paddy_melon, this is a laptop, and I know it can dim because it does automatically on battery power
[07:49] <hiatus> Guest47686: power options
[07:49] <mi1558> :D
[07:49] <mobi-sheep> McBauseline, mi1558: Quit it. You know you're talking to yourself.
[07:49] <paddy_melon> Guest47686... in Power options you can or, are there any ACPI buttons on the laptop?
[07:50] <mi1558> what
[07:50] <mi1558> ?
[07:50] <jongbergs> hi, i'd like to ask your opinion whether it's possible to monitor regarding what computer on the local network uses the particular YAHOO ID only.
[07:50] <Guest47686> paddy_melon: there are buttons for internet and volume, etc, but not brightness. Power options didn't seem to have brightness setting
[07:51] <ardchoille> What is the "accepted" gui ftp client for gnome?
[07:51] <DasEi> w3l54666: so you did so far ?
[07:51] <zmbMonkey> how do you prevent the clipboard from clearing after a program quits?
[07:51] <w3l54666> DasEi:uninstalled drivers now
[07:51] <rumpsy> DasEi: Still helping?
[07:51] <nomnex> mobie-sheep, can you help with the syntax "sample: gconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/command 'deluge "%s"' how do I --unset the key (full string) thanks
[07:51] <ardchoille> I'm using gftp but heard it's not developed anymore
[07:51] <rumpsy> DasEi: That's awesome man ;)
[07:51] <mobi-sheep> ardchoille: Gnome? I would imagine it uses Nautilus's Connect To Server
[07:51] <PDG1> DasEi: so I notice that it still shows up in the menu as mamajam. I'm guessing that's because the drives label is mamajam.
[07:51] <DasEi> rumpsy: good days, worst days ;-)
[07:51] <ardchoille> zmbMonkey: you might be interested in parcellite
[07:52] <cyqotiq> jongbergs: That would be an issue of router logs.
[07:52] <DasEi> PDG1: yes, label is not mountpoit
[07:52] <ardchoille> mobi-sheep: oh, forgot nautilus does ftp too
[07:52] <DasEi> point*
[07:52] <zmbMonkey> i will look at it, ty ardchoille
[07:53] <DasEi> w3l54666: write down (paper) sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:53] <mobi-sheep> ardchoille: Yup. Also, I find filezilla useful but I have almost no needs for it.
[07:53] <jongbergs> cyqotiq: i'm afraid our Linksys RV082 router doesn't have that kind of capability..
[07:53] <ardchoille> zmbMonkey: it has a user configurable number of copies it can keep regardless of if an app exits
[07:53] <rumpsy> DasEi: This day is for you da, வாழ்௧
[07:53] <Guest49380> gftp
[07:53] <jongbergs> cyqotiq: is there other way to accomplish this?
[07:53] <rumpsy> !gftp
[07:54] <PDG1> DasEi: and now whilst i try to create this Samba share... permissions I've added to the mount/drive should cause me to pull hairs
[07:54] <Guest49380> ubottu is asleep?
[07:54] <DasEi> w3l54666: strg-ALT-F1  > logs you out of desktop, log in in cmd-line, issue given comman, then enter : sudo gdm restart
[07:54] <zmbMonkey> its exactly what i was looking for, tyvm!
[07:54] <mobi-sheep> DasEi: sudo service gdm restart :)
[07:54] <rumpsy> Guest49380: What you want?
[07:54] <nexus> #sabayon
[07:55] <Guest49380> rumpsy, I want to adjust the brightness on this laptop
[07:55] <mobi-sheep> DasEi: Oh that would work too. (but not invoking from /etc/init).
[07:55] <w3l54666> DasEi: whats strg?
[07:55] <Guest49380> it is too bright, but I don't want to unplug it
[07:55] <DasEi> w3l54666: my bad, ctrl
[07:55] <w3l54666> ok
[07:55] <w3l54666> do that now
[07:55] <plustax> I have a question. I have a 9.10 laptop and a 9.10 desktop. How do I setup a shared folder of sorts so I can transfer large amounts of files and folders back and forth? Both computers are on the same network.
[07:56] <rumpsy> Guest49380: okay, do you have "fn" key on your lap keybord
[07:56] <mobi-sheep> Guest49380: Don't you have "Brightness" FN keyboard shortcuts on your laptop?
[07:56] <cyqotiq> jongbergs: Not without installing some kind of network monitor on the machine in question.  Since you're trying to find a machine, your best bet is to see where the traffic is getting redirected on the LAN.
[07:56] <nomnex> mobi-sheep, what's the --unset command for "gconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/command 'deluge "%s"" I don't pass the correct string. Can you help?
[07:56] <DasEi> plustax: samba or nfs
[07:56] <Guest49380> rumpsy, yes I have fn. mobi-sheep: I don't think so? I can't see in the dark
[07:57] <Guest49380> mobi-sheep: thanks... trying them now
[07:57] <mobi-sheep> Guest49380: Press FN + (Symbol of LCD brightness display of some sort).
[07:57] <rumpsy> Guest49380: okay press, hold it and press f5 or f6
[07:57] <DasEi> !samba > plustax
[07:57] <DasEi> !nfs > plustax
[07:57] <Guest49380> rumpsy, mobi-sheep, wow, I feel stupid. Thanks a lot for showing me how to do this
[07:58] <zmbMonkey> ardchoille: tyvm
[07:58] <hiexpo> good evening all
[07:58] <ardchoille> zmbMonkey: yw
[07:58] <cyqotiq> jongbergs: From what I'm reading on google, it looks like the RV082 supports logging
[07:58] <jts> kocham julcie
[07:58] <mobi-sheep> nomnex: Try "gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet"
[07:58] <Guest49380> rumpsy, mobi-sheep, just one more thing, whenever the laptop gets unplugged, the screen shuts off for some reason. Is this a bug, or a setting somewhere?
[07:59] <mobi-sheep> Guest49380: Now you know.  Also, check out more of your laptop's FN features. It does more than just brightness. :o
[07:59] <papul> what happens when i do apt-get update?
[07:59] <Guest49380> yeah
[07:59] <mobi-sheep> Guest49380: It is not a bug. It is a power option feature. Saving you some minutes of battery life. Check out Power Option (or under Screensaver).
[07:59] <Guest49380> papul: apt contacts the server to see what new packages are there
[07:59] <cyqotiq> jongbergs: An 8-port router priced ~$200USD isn't standard home equipment.  Is this a work scenario?
[08:00] <papul> and download some files right?
[08:00] <Guest49380> ah, screensaver. Thanks mobi-sheep!
[08:00] <DasEi> Guest49380: check powersaving settings, both acpi and bios, and maybe screensaver (idle triggered by powersave)
[08:00] <PDG1> Guest49380: I was going to tell him certain doom
[08:00] <mobi-sheep> Guest49380: You mean dim, right?  Not blank screen completely?
[08:00] <indus_> hi i am facing problem in installing apache2-mpm-worker someone sugest what the solution
[08:00] <Guest49380> mobi-sheep, it does both. I like it to dim, but I don't like the blank screen
[08:00] <papul> ?
[08:00] <iAmerikan> What's a program that'll install my webcam's driver. I mean a program somewhat like EasyCam
[08:00] <rumpsy> Guest49380: There are some power option under screensaver settings, figure it and make your own decision to make a new rule to power saver
[08:01] <Guest49380> PDG1, haha, yes well I always thought apt-get upgrade did that
[08:01] <Guest49380> rumpsy, alright
[08:01] <indus_> some help me to install apch2-mpm-worker
[08:01] <Awesome3000> !webcam | iAmerikan
[08:01] <PDG1> papul: yes, it will :P
[08:01] <iAmerikan> I've already seen that
[08:01] <iAmerikan> which suggests easycam
[08:01] <iAmerikan> which depends on python-xml
[08:01] <mobi-sheep> nomnex: Working for you? It should unset everything under 'magnet' directory.
[08:01] <iAmerikan> which was discontinued in 9.10
[08:02] <w3l54666> DasEi: i did that but still not recognising my laptop monitor
[08:02] <papul> i want to know how to delete those files and not the packages
[08:02] <cyqotiq> iAmerikan: Are you wanting to INSTALL?  or just USE the camera?  Cheeze is a pretty... cheesy :)  program that is simplistic, but functional.
[08:02] <rumpsy> Guest49380: power management is your option, configure for your own purpose
[08:02] <rumpsy> brb
[08:02] <nomnex> mobi-sheep, just a sec,
[08:02] <kholby> I'm having trouble with wireless networking on a Broadcom card with Ubuntu 9.10.  Without a driver installed, I can see all network cards available on my computer, but wireless says device not ready.  If I install the Broadcom STA driver, it says I need to restart, so I do, then only the loopback interface shows up on iwconfig.
[08:02] <DasEi> w3l54666: you now got the old situation back, I assume
[08:03] <iAmerikan> cyqotiq: install. Awhile ago I saw a handy little program that automatically install'd my webcam's driver
[08:03] <Guest49380> thank you for your help!
[08:03] <kholby> ...also, jockey says the driver is activated but not in use.
[08:03] <w3l54666> DasEi: still not recognised my monitor :S
[08:03] <papul> i want to know how to delete the files that are downloaded when i do apt-get update and not the packages
[08:04] <mobi-sheep> papul: What do you mean? Everything usually goes in /var/cache/apt/archives
[08:05] <mobi-sheep> papul: Oh. I get it.
[08:05] <papul> mobi-sheep: ?
[08:05] <DasEi> w3l54666: you are on laptop with external monitor ?

[08:08] <nomnex> mobi-sheep, I am worry since the command did not delete what was under /magnet but the folder itself.
[08:09] <mobi-sheep> nomnex: It is url-handlers. It either can be there or not, depending on each individual users. You can add it. It does not have to be there.
[08:09] <w3l54666> my monitor on laptop aint being recognised anymore, i thought it was a ati card but i gues not, looked in synaptics now and VIA was installed, so reinstalled all VIA stuff, gonna reboot once u replied

[08:33] <pat|nG> i see

[08:34] <mobi-sheep> ecolitan: If it is your personal script, you can use sudo on the script.
[08:34] <mobi-sheep> (ie sudo ./script.sh)
[08:34] <de9ine> Just got evolution up and running with our Exchange 2007 server. Works just fine :D Does any one know If there is any plugin / feature that allows me to view calendars from people in my contact list?
[08:35] <ecolitan> mobi-sheep: nice thank you! I had tried: sudo echo "blah" >>    but it was the redirection that needed the privilage not the echo
[08:35] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: Best to run it in the terminal then or edit the launcher to include gksudo.
[08:35] <mickeyboy> is anyone free to have a look atm
[08:35] <pat|nG> mobi-sheep just opened my terminal everytime i type exit i got this message from terminal : Shell exited. Another one is launching.....the terminal is keep on popping...why? and how can i exit it totally?
[08:36] <mickeyboy> pat|nG: sudo killall (app name)
[08:37] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: What did you do that cause the endless loop?
[08:37] <pat|nG> no terminal process found
[08:37] <pat|nG> i just got this cairo-dock and from there i add the terminal
[08:37] <mickeyboy> pat|nG: did you do something before this happend
[08:37] <pat|nG> and i opened it and then it keeps coming back everytime i typed exit

[08:43] <mickeyboy> pat|nG: ok great now this might work. first delete terminal link in doc. then open applications>accessories and drag the terminal icon into the dock itself. that could creat the link properly.
[08:43] <DasEi> w3l54666: well, quite a seldom model, so I couldn't find an exact match, but a slightly different widescreen lcd, hat we can try

[09:05] <Stevethepirate> Hello, weird error here, it seems like a key on my PC (ubuntu 9.10) is being permanently pressed. But its not (continues even when keyboard unplugged). The key that is supposedly pressed is either F, "." or enter... just carries on and on.
[09:05] <flaarg> Stevethepirate: clean your keyboard first thing
[09:05] <Stevethepirate> Rofl, same thing happens with like 3 keyboards.
[09:05] <pat|nG> verb3k: exploiting is the best key to familiarize distros......spend 3hrs exploiting if success? u gained! if failure? then ask! don't get pissed off coz no one is helping u for an hour....u'd lost a precious time to deal with ur distro....that would be ur bonding moment.....hehe...just like me....exploiting is challenging.....
[09:06] <flaarg> Stevethepirate: does it do it in a livecd?
[09:06] <rumpsy> Stevethepirate: maybe old keyboards
[09:06] <Stevethepirate> That was my first idea ;/
[09:06] <flaarg> that sounds like hardware error
[09:06] <alteregoa> NX_COMMFD=26Process started
[09:06] <Stevethepirate> flaarg: New logitech pc's, and I would rather not restart the machine if possible.
[09:06] <alteregoa> Segmentation fault
[09:06] <flaarg> Stevethepirate: does it do it in tty or just in X?
[09:06] <Stevethepirate> The box is running x11vnc, but I am not sure why suddenly that would cause this.
[09:06] <alteregoa> i hate this smegma fault
[09:06] <Stevethepirate> Just on X.
[09:07] <flaarg> does restarting X fix it?
[09:07] <SolarisBoy> smegma fault?
[09:07] <alteregoa> segmentation fault
[09:07] <Stevethepirate> At first I thought it was a user being a bastard and catting on a pipe.
[09:07] <Stevethepirate> Um, restarting X does fix it, but after a while it starts up.
[09:07] <SolarisBoy> o good times
[09:07] <alteregoa> qtnx
[09:08] <Stevethepirate> (as in the problem resumes after a while)
[09:08] <flaarg> Stevethepirate: it probably is a user being a bastard then
[09:08] <Stevethepirate> flaarg: It's not.
[09:08] <Stevethepirate> The problem starts like when I am typing on X.
[09:08] <Stevethepirate> And w/e key I am pressing, it carries on
[09:08] <Stevethepirate> As if it is stuck
[09:08] <flaarg> well im sorry I can't help you I have only ever seen that happen because of a cat or a broken/jammed keyboard

[09:09] <cyqotiq> anyone know how to fix the issue where the right ALT key stops functioning?
[09:10] <retry> buy new keyboard
[09:10] <flaarg> people use the right alt key?
[09:10] <Stevethepirate> Keymap issue or the hardware?
[09:10] <cyqotiq> It gets automatically set at boot time for something (can't remember what)
[09:10] <Stevethepirate> flaarg: Totally.
[09:10] <retry> xkeymap maybe?
[09:10] <flaarg> I have mine set to multi-key for ° and ☭
[09:10] <Potemkin> why are you so judgmental flaarg
[09:10] <Stevethepirate> Heh.
[09:10] <obsidieth> hghg

[09:12] <Myrtti> retry: move on
[09:12]  * alteregoa eat those doners with pig meat
[09:12] <Stevethepirate> pat|nG: And the answer is yes.
[09:12] <retry> I love vbo
[09:12] <retry> x
[09:12] <retry> it's even nicer than vmware workstation and yet...free
[09:12] <Stevethepirate> Heh
[09:12] <retry> well workstation has some features vbox doesnt...but I really dont need em
[09:12] <Stevethepirate> Its networking is a bit finnicky though.
[09:13] <retry> i have no probs with it...I just nat to my router anyway
[09:13] <Stevethepirate> Sometimes network just dies on it suddenly.
[09:13] <Jimi_Neutral> Hi all, am I right in thinking that I would not be able to do an install of Ubuntu by loading into a virtual drive and diong this all remotley?
[09:13] <retry> hmm i haven't had that prob steve
[09:13] <cyqotiq> pat|nG: To clarify Stevethepirate's statement, "vbox" is a programming object used in GUI development.  "Virtual Box" is a virtual machine software.
[09:13] <Stevethepirate> eth0 just drops even hour or so
[09:13] <Stevethepirate> For some reason.
[09:13] <Stevethepirate> And I am spoofing macs.
[09:13] <Stevethepirate> So it causes a bit of a problem for me.
[09:14] <retry> why are you spoofing?
[09:14] <retry> up to no good?
[09:14] <Stevethepirate> Nah.
[09:14] <Stevethepirate> At our varsity, MAC specific DHCP leases.
[09:14] <retry> varsity?
[09:14] <Stevethepirate> So instead of waiting 2 weeks to get a new MAC registered, I just recycle MACs
[09:14] <Stevethepirate> university
[09:14] <alteregoa> spoofing macs, steve jobs doesnt like that
[09:14] <retry> oh
[09:14] <Stevethepirate> "college"
[09:14] <Stevethepirate> Hahaha
[09:15] <retry> steve jobs doesn't like a lot of things
[09:15] <cyqotiq> interesting concept... so "Varsity sports" in high school... ?
[09:15] <retry> like letting his customers do what they want with products they bought
[09:15] <Stevethepirate> cyqotiq: I don't follow?
[09:15] <retry> cyqotiq, yeah that is why it confused me too
[09:15] <cyqotiq> nvm.. :)
[09:15] <Stevethepirate> Oh ;/
[09:15] <Myrtti> !offtopic
[09:15] <Stevethepirate> We have weird names in South Africa :D
[09:15] <Myrtti> stick to the issue, folks
[09:16] <retry> Myrtti, there don't seem to be any right now :/
[09:16] <Stevethepirate> Myrtti: I think this is borderline, since we are talking about an eth0 dropping on ubuntu 9.10.
[09:16] <Stevethepirate> And when it comes up it reloads original MAC
[09:16] <Stevethepirate> :D
[09:16] <cyqotiq> And spoofing macs
[09:16] <retry> steve, can you set the mac in the ifup script?
[09:17] <Stevethepirate> You probably could.
[09:17] <retry> that'd sort it out
[09:17] <Stevethepirate> Ye.
[09:17] <Stevethepirate> I was merely pointing out some problems I had had with Vbox.
[09:17] <pat|nG> Stevethepirate: is virtualbox a good choice? or vmware?
[09:17] <Stevethepirate> Depends on what you need?
[09:18] <cyqotiq> virtualbox is pretty decent.  vmware is great, but makes you jump through hoops just to use a VM player.
[09:18] <retry> pat, go with virtualbox
[09:18] <Stevethepirate> I enjoy vbox's simplicity, but I guess it lacks some of vmwares features.
[09:18] <rumpsy> pat|nG: pick virtualbox
[09:18] <retry> vmware is bloated too
[09:18] <retry> a lot
[09:18] <Stevethepirate> The thing is.
[09:18] <pat|nG> tell me the difference between virtualbox and vmware if u dnt mind?
[09:18] <Stevethepirate> This boils down to choice.
[09:18] <Stevethepirate> I mean, just look at an IDE.
[09:18] <retry> pat, not much diff but vmware workstation is not free...the player is
[09:18] <Stevethepirate> Some people prefer eclipse, some prefer kate, some prefer visual studio.
[09:18] <Stevethepirate> Its all choice.
[09:18] <pauletin> some just open vi
[09:18] <retry> virtualbox is lighter and snappier
[09:19] <Stevethepirate> I mean, I use nano or vi for almost anything
[09:19] <thechef> btw: are there any installation packages for vmware?
[09:19] <Stevethepirate> But when it comes to C# I use VS.
[09:19] <retry> the guest tools in virtualbox work better for me
[09:19] <retry> I can share clipboard and what not with much less config
[09:19] <DasEi> Stevethepirate: if I remember right, ethtool also lets you set the mac for a nic
[09:19] <retry> and virtualbox has seemless mode
[09:19] <Stevethepirate> DasEi: I know the ways to fix it thank you.
[09:19] <retry> which kicks all kinds of butt
[09:19] <Stevethepirate> I was just pointing out that vbox *does* drop it.
[09:19] <Stevethepirate> And you need to "fix" it really.
[09:19] <cyqotiq> the ONLY thing I've found that VMWare has over VirtualBox, so far, is that it has better graphics support if you run a Windows guest OS.
[09:19] <rasstar> every time i boot ubuntu my raid 0 drives go offline and i cannot find a fix
[09:19] <cyqotiq> and that's questionable
[09:20] <Stevethepirate> Running windows on vmware
[09:20] <retry> cyqotiq, have you tried vbox lately?
[09:20] <Stevethepirate> Means you now have 2 problems.
[09:20] <cyqotiq> I have.  I can't get some of my 3D software to work properly.
[09:20] <retry> hm
[09:20] <cyqotiq> Then again, some of it doesn't work in VMWare, either.
[09:20] <Stevethepirate> I think that is semi-stolen from the old quote "If you think you can solve a problem using XML, you now have 2 problems"
[09:20] <retry> i have had no luck getting the fancy beryl stuff working in either
[09:20] <retry> i dont care much either way
[09:21] <Stevethepirate> What do you _really_ want to virtualise compiz-fusion for?
[09:21] <retry> vmware does let you save multiple snapshots though
[09:21] <retry> if you care
[09:21] <Stevethepirate> retry: You do mean compiz fusion.
[09:21] <retry> yeah whatever it's called now
[09:21] <Stevethepirate> :D
[09:21] <retry> Stevethepirate, I dont really want to virutalize it, i just mean I can't get 3d support going in either
[09:21] <cyqotiq> It's why I run a dual boot.  Win7 partition handles my hardcore 3D software that have no Linux counterparts.
[09:21] <Stevethepirate> TBH, guys I need to make a confession.
[09:21] <retry> you're a woman?
[09:21] <Stevethepirate> I am running 5 boxes of linux.
[09:21] <Stevethepirate> And a win7 laptop
[09:21] <retry> only 5?

[09:24] <Stevethepirate> No
[09:24] <cyqotiq> steve: can't you just use "><" ?

[09:24] <Stevethepirate> Not a game.
[09:24] <theadmin> Stevethepirate: Oh lol sorry
[09:24] <Jimi_Neutral> retry, by virtual drive i mean loading the iso on a virtual drive with isomagic or daemon tools ro whatever and by remotley i mean logging into my pc remotley using vnc...all i need to do is get the ball rolling, i can do the rest later
[09:25] <theadmin> Explore2: What is the file extension?
[09:25] <Stevethepirate> Jimi_Neutral: In this sense it is called "Ghosting" a disc.
[09:25] <theadmin> rasstar: Yeah. But it's fine with me. I only run very little windows stuff
[09:25] <retry> well can vnc relay drives to your remote box? I dont think so
[09:25] <alteregoa> yes
[09:25] <retry> yes vnc can relay drives?
[09:25] <Explore2> theadmin: .tar.gz
[09:25] <retry> i've not seen that
[09:25] <Jimi_Neutral> Stevethepirate, sorry i thought ghosting was copying a drive...im from windows lol
[09:26] <alteregoa> just mount a vnc drive
[09:26] <theadmin> Explore2: Seems to me you've got the source code
[09:26] <retry> I've done remote installs using kvm appliances
[09:26] <Explore2> yes
[09:26] <retry> not vnc
[09:26] <retry> what's a vnc drive?
[09:26] <Stevethepirate> Jimi_Neutral: your explanation is poor, my answer will also be :/
[09:26] <om26er> !megaphone
[09:26] <Stevethepirate> Explore2: Hey.
[09:26] <alteregoa> a remote attached drive
[09:26] <om26er> what is empathy megaphone applet?
[09:26] <Stevethepirate> Odds are there are README file inside that tarball.
[09:26] <retry> i bet it would work only with network install iso
[09:26] <retry> not full iso
[09:26] <retry> too much latency for full iso
[09:27] <theadmin> Explore2: You'll have to compile it then. Try running a terminal in directory where you extracted after extracting the archive. Then try running "./configure && make && sudo make install"
[09:27] <Stevethepirate> You want to "tar -xvvf <name of tar ball>
[09:27] <Stevethepirate> theadmin: Not always.
[09:27] <Jimi_Neutral> Stevethepirate, is it? sorry i thought it was self explainitory, I need to install ubuntu from a remote location usnig vnc and the copy of ubuntu needs to go on a virtual disc drive cause its not burnt to cd
[09:27] <alteregoa> well i use hamachi, so i can mount everything over NFS or SMB
[09:27] <retry> also how do you get a vnc server going on a box you want to wipe?
[09:27] <theadmin> Stevethepirate: He said he got the source ;)
[09:27] <retry> you cant reboot into the iso remotely
[09:27] <alteregoa> and there is no open port for intruders, it makes it very secure
[09:27] <Stevethepirate> theadmin: Not all source is as simple as configure, make, make install.
[09:27] <retry> jimi, I dont think you can do that ...not with vnc
[09:27] <theadmin> Stevethepirate: Obviously... but if no, then explaining it will be a pain
[09:27] <retry> you need some sort of kvm appliance
[09:28] <Stevethepirate> theadmin: Better to teach people to read the README file?
[09:28] <retry> something that runs independently of the target machine
[09:28] <retry> like Sun's ELOM
[09:28] <Stevethepirate> retry: Ye.
[09:28] <Jimi_Neutral> well i dont need to do the full install, as I said i just need to get the ball rolling and i can carry on when i get home and am back at the machine
[09:28] <theadmin> Stevethepirate: Right... :D Anyway, only thing I managed to compile successfully was Apache :D
[09:28] <retry> jimi but you can't run a vnc server AND boot into the iso can you
[09:28] <cyqotiq> heh... get the (tar)ball rolling. :)
[09:28] <Stevethepirate> Jimi_Neutral: The thing is. You are *ON* windows at the moment. You can't wipe the active disc.
[09:29] <Stevethepirate> cyqotiq: Oh you devil! :D
[09:29] <retry> to install you need to boot from the iso...that means the vnc server isn't running
[09:29] <Stevethepirate> Jimi_Neutral: So your only option is to install the / partition on windows.
[09:29] <Jimi_Neutral> Stevethepirate, so it needs ot be from physical CD
[09:29] <Stevethepirate> retry: He could actually.
[09:29] <retry> how
[09:29] <Oli```> How can I find out what's locking apt? I can't see anything open that would be doing it
[09:29] <retry> man ubuntu offtopic has TOO much chatter
[09:29] <Stevethepirate> retry: He could "get the ball rolling"
[09:29] <retry> how
[09:30] <Stevethepirate> By resizing his NTFS partition actively.
[09:30] <Stevethepirate> And extracting all his / files.
[09:30] <cyqotiq> Oli```: Update Manager, Synaptic Package Manager, aptitude, apt-get, Ubuntu Software Center... none of those are running?
[09:30] <theadmin> Oli```: Well, try running "sudo killall apt-get && sudo killall aptitude && sudo killall synaptic"... those are 3 applications that most likely can do so
[09:30] <retry> well ok he could use virutalbox create a guest linux system ...attach to real drive
[09:30] <retry> boot guest off iso
[09:30] <retry> and install to drive
[09:30] <Stevethepirate> That is dumb.
[09:30] <Stevethepirate> But probably better than anything else.
[09:30] <Stevethepirate> Jimi_Neutral: Just go home early and install it.
[09:31] <Oli```> cyqotiq: not that I can see - no but I'll try theadmin's killalls
[09:31] <retry> your way won't install anything just dumps the CD iso
[09:31] <retry> that's not a full install
[09:31] <Stevethepirate> I didn't say dumb the ISO
[09:31] <Stevethepirate> *dump
[09:31] <retry> also the way I just described worked perfectly for getting my usb key install going
[09:31] <Stevethepirate> Lol.
[09:31] <Stevethepirate> That is a big rigmarole for a USB key ;/
[09:31] <Stevethepirate> :D You running DSL on it?
[09:31] <retry> naw
[09:32] <retry> full ubuntu
[09:32] <Stevethepirate> Eish :D
[09:32] <retry> i tried dsl and puppy and they pissed me off
[09:32] <retry> no security updates and freaking old software
[09:32] <Stevethepirate> Heh, I used fluxbox for around 2 years.
[09:32] <Jimi_Neutral> Stevethepirate, lol thanks I think i will, will be a lot easier
[09:32] <Stevethepirate> At school all machine were windows NT
[09:32] <Stevethepirate> Which was pretty irritating.
[09:32] <retry> Jimi_Neutral, install virtualbox on target machine
[09:33] <Stevethepirate> retry: For a new ubuntu user, he should rather just go home and install like a normal person.
[09:33] <Oli```> cyqotiq & theadmin: thanks - I looked through PS for synaptic and it turns out there an invisible window of it somewhere (very odd!) but killed now and apt-get is working. Thanks
[09:33] <alteregoa> i used flux capacitors 2 years ago
[09:33] <retry> well that's probably true, but I'm here to provide solutions, not make decisions
[09:33] <cyqotiq> Oli```: np

[09:33] <Stevethepirate> When I said fluxbox above I meant DSL with flux.
[09:34] <retry> change the number part of the url
[09:34] <retry> that might work
[09:34] <retry> DSL has 2.4 kernel...annoying
[09:35] <rumpsy> 2.4 kernels are solid, they give good performance
[09:35] <retry> the dsl one is old
[09:36] <rumpsy> may be old, but powerful
[09:36] <retry> i don't necessarily believe it
[09:36] <retry> anyway I wanted ext4 too
[09:36] <retry> to optimize use of disk
[09:37] <retry> usb key gets like 10-15MB/sec throughput

[09:42] <w3l54666> hey guys need help with my usb wifi dongle
[09:42] <w3l54666> anybody care to give 1-2-1 help???
[09:44] <Explore2> for farsight, i had to install libnice and it says, configure: error: could not find Python headers
[09:44] <Explore2> any suggestions?
[09:46] <w3l54666> i need to get my RT3070 usb wifi dongle working but have no idea!!! help!!!!
[09:48] <KrisKo> Explore2: try to install python debug packages
[09:48] <Oli```> w3l54666: try "sudo rmmod rt2800usb" and plugging it in again - that works for my RT USB one
[09:49] <Oli```> w3l54666: if that works, you want to blacklist it so it does it on boot
[09:50] <faileas> I have a programme whose man page is in a non standard location - /usr/local/foo/man/ some other stuff
[09:50] <faileas> how do i open thm?
[09:50] <cyqotiq> mv /usr/local/foo/man /usr/local/foo/man/chu
[09:51] <w3l54666> Oli```: it didnt work
[09:51] <cyqotiq> I'm so bad... sorry.
[09:51] <w3l54666> Oli```: hang on yes it did
[09:51] <w3l54666> Oli```: lolz how do i blacklist it??
[09:51] <faileas> cyqotiq: that's a terrible joke
[09:52] <Oli```> w3l54666: ;) I blacklisted mine by opening up another blacklist file (in my case /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf) and sticking "blacklist rt2800usb" on a new line but I think you can make a new file in /etc/modprobe.d/ as long as it starts "blacklist-" and ends ".conf"
[09:53] <cyqotiq> faileas: I know, I'm awful.. but "/usr/local/foo/man" was begging for it.
[09:54] <faileas> cyqotiq: if you insist /usr/local/gw6c/man/ and there's a man5 and man8 folder in it.
[09:54] <faileas> however the exact name of the app has nothing to do with the issue ;p
[09:54] <llutz> faileas: add it to MANPATH
[09:54] <faileas> llutz: how? and which one of the two?
[09:55] <llutz> faileas: /etc/manpath.config
[09:56] <llutz> faileas: adding /usr/local/gw6c/man/  should make 5 and 8 available (man 5 foo, man 8 foo)
[09:57] <faileas> llutz: ahh, fixed i think ;p

[10:42] <Myrtti> rumpsy: by default ubuntu doesn't have root access. please do not tell others to enable it
[10:42] <Oasa> the icons everything
[10:42] <rumpsy> Myrtti: i'm not told to activate it
[10:42] <rumpsy> he had it
[10:43] <mobi-sheep> rumpsy: sudo -i (better than activating a root account).
[10:43] <KrisKo> sudo su does login you as root
[10:43] <nakamuka> mobi-sheep, but is there any way to specify in the server side? as we specify for ftp in vsftp.conf anon_root=path ?
[10:43] <lynxsys> if I use ubuntu with lamp is it better to change the ownership of /var/www to the user with admin permissions to enable creating folders via ftp?
[10:43] <Myrtti> KrisKo: and it's not exactly safe method of doing it
[10:43] <Myrtti> KrisKo: there are better ways, which aren't needed either
[10:44] <Jimi_Neutral> is the 64bit desktop ubuntu for AMD processors only?
[10:44] <llutz> nakamuka: no there isn't unless you build ssh/sftp-chroots
[10:44] <Myrtti> no
[10:44] <Myrtti> Jimi_Neutral: AMD64 is a legacy name for 64-bit OS architectures
[10:44] <Jimi_Neutral> Myrtti,  oh, thanks :)
[10:44] <Oasa> Can some one please tell me how to stop the automatic rearranging of icons in my panel
[10:44] <mobi-sheep> nakamuka: Nothing I am aware of. You could try #ubuntu-server. It would defeat the purpose of using scp if I can't specify where to copy it to.
[10:45] <rumpsy> Myrtti: okay, i follow you, i don't follow those ways
[10:46] <rumpsy> Myrtti: i'm sure, you can believe me
[10:47] <rumpsy> Myrtti: what is the command to open hardware drivers in (system->administration) using gksu
[10:50] <Explore2> Oasa: makefile is there as Makefile.am Makefile.in
[10:50] <arand> rumpsy: "gksu jockey-gtk"
[10:50] <nakamuka> llutz does it applicable for scp? i mean ssh/sftp-chroots  ?
[10:51] <rumpsy> arand: is that to open harware drivers
[10:51] <alteregoa> !seen lars samström
[10:51] <Oasa> Explore2: They are just part. You sure there is no individual makefile :S

[10:51] <cantoma> guys i got this from bzip2 bzip2: File too large. I am trying to compress 1TB of data. Is there a limit in the filesize?
[10:52] <llutz> nakamuka: it always depends on what you need, here's a short howto. check and decide for your task http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted-ssh-sftp-tutorial-debian-lenny
[10:52] <Oasa> Guys how to make, if there is no makefile ?
[10:52] <rumpsy> Thank you :) . . i noted it
[10:52] <arand> rumpsy: yes, the one where you may install video drivers e.g. Also the command does not need gksu it seems, since it unlocks with password aftterward, when you install rather than when you start the app.
[10:53] <Explore2> Oasa: for me, there is an error in configuring i saw now
[10:53] <alteregoa> 1tb of data?
[10:53] <ManDay> INVALID UTF8, someone please help me with that error in, for example auditious music player's playlist on ID tags!
[10:53] <Explore2> are they not valid makefiles? what is @ and $ in make file?

[10:53] <Oasa> Oasa : Okay thats why what is the error?
[10:54] <mobi-sheep> cantoma: What filesystem?
[10:54] <cantoma> ext2
[10:54] <alteregoa> cantoma you try to compress a empty file with 1tb filesize, and trying to mail the file?
[10:54] <Oasa> No $ and @ are valid
[10:54] <alteregoa> create a file with 8 spaces
[10:54] <cantoma> alteregoa, whatever you are saying i didn't said that
[10:55] <llutz> !ot | alteregoa stop your nonsense here pls
[10:55] <Oasa> $ are used to specify varibles :D
[10:55] <mobi-sheep> cantoma: Hmm. 16GiB to 2TiB for ext2. You're okasy.
[10:55] <alteregoa> then you can compress 1tb file within a 10kb rar
[10:56] <cantoma> whats the problem with bzip2?
[10:56] <alteregoa> maybe use a 64bit version

[10:59] <Sargun> Let's see how this goes, I am preserving my gentoo hard drive in case I want to go back
[10:59] <Sargun> how do I nuke the start-up sound?
[10:59] <rumpsy> But late migration, i think so..
[10:59] <Sargun> Why do you think it's late?
[10:59] <Sargun> I've already hit a few issues in Ubuntu that I didn't touch in Gentoo
[11:00] <rumpsy> you missed most of the releases in ubuntu
[11:00] <sambagirl> hey
[11:00] <Myrtti> rumpsy: at any given point, there's always some missed releases...
[11:00] <sambagirl> is there a ipad a4 port for ubuntu yet?
[11:01] <rumpsy> Sargun: goto system->preferences->sounds.. there you have options
[11:01] <arand> Sargun: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/437429 Sound customization is severely lacking in 9.10, but there are workarounds.
[11:01] <Sargun> :-/
[11:02] <Sargun> ew, atime is enabled.
[11:02] <Sargun> Man, what's up with the IO scheduler, I'm running a copy in the background and it's completely bringing my system to a halt
[11:02] <pat|nG> what's the command to delete an application? i mean the total delete?
[11:03] <Sargun> apt-get remove

[11:03] <pat|nG> thanx guys
[11:03] <Sargun> purge/remove, close enough
[11:03] <rumpsy> yes
[11:03] <Sargun> I come from a CentOS/Gentoo background
[11:03] <Sargun> where emerge -C was god.
[11:04] <rumpsy> Sargun: i'm new to centos, that i'm having in 3rd hdd
[11:04] <korb> can u guys recommend me a good and thin IM server for ubuntu ? actually i use jabberd14 but got serious memory issues, with a 500 users database i can get up to 4gb of mem use until it dumps the process
[11:04] <Sargun> korb, ejabberd is awesome
[11:05] <Sargun> unreal-ircd is fine for small installs
[11:05] <arand> pat|nG: The purge command will however not remove the user-specific config files in the home dir, those you will have to remove yourself..
[11:05] <Sargun> erm, inspircd, not unreal, unreal is actually pretty rad.

[11:07] <pat|nG> any screensaver app u could recommend?
[11:07] <arand> pat|nG: xscreensaver-gl *-data are installed by default it seems (at least here on 9.04)
[11:07] <lynxsys> whats the command to change ownership? cli>chown -R user
[11:07] <Sargun> faileas, ejabberd is awesome
[11:07] <faileas> Sargun: well, since he explicitely mentioned having trouble with it... unless you could work out what's wrong... ;p
[11:08] <Sargun> oh, sorry, I didn't see that
[11:08] <Sargun> what issues were you hitting with ejabberd?
[11:08] <Sargun> faileas, what's wrong with irc?
[11:08] <faileas> Sargun: ...eep. i think i got confused
[11:08] <Halabund> Why does sound (e.g. music playback, regardless of player) have a different quality in WinXP and Ubuntu on the same machine?  Do any of them pass it through an equalizer?  It is markedly better ("wholer") in XP, while in Ubuntu it often makes the laptop case resonate even at not too high volumes.
[11:08] <korb> jabberd14 is the issue
[11:08] <faileas> Sargun: its just not an IM client ;p
[11:08] <faileas> *server
[11:08] <korb> 500users 4gb consumed mem until dumps
[11:09] <Sargun> korb, wait, -- ejabberd was consuming 4 G of memory?
[11:09] <KrisKo> lynxsys: you can use it to change user and group: chown user:group <file>
[11:09] <mobi-sheep> Sargun: If you come from CentOS/Gentoo background, you might be interested in Ubuntu Minimal (where you start with a console and install certain packages as you go).
[11:09] <Sargun> why does the clock do weather?

[11:11] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: Usually yes. Unless you're reading outdated linux documents.
[11:11] <KrisKo> pat|nG: most commands are the same
[11:11] <llutz> pat|nG: most should work, there are always differences (i.e package-management)

[11:22] <Sargun> is there any downside to using apt as opposed to synaptic
[11:25] <enzotib> Sargun: the keys on the keyboard become gray faster
[11:25] <arand> Sargun: synaptic has a nicer internal history function, otherwise I don't think so.
[11:25] <mobi-sheep> Sargun: Nothing at all. synaptic is GUI package manager. apt is CLI package manager.
[11:25] <Sargun> and what is this aptititude thing
[11:25] <mobi-sheep> Sargun: Another front-end.
[11:26] <Myrtti> aptitude keeps a bit better track on what packages are installed than apt-get
[11:26] <Sargun> ah
[11:26] <arand> Sargun: somewhat higher-level than apt-get, has a ncurser interface if started as-is
[11:26] <pirx> hi! does anyone know if there are eclipse(ee) packages for ubuntu?
[11:27] <mobi-sheep> Sargun: The real package manager is dpkg. Apt, aptitude, synaptic, and Software Center are tied to it.
[11:27] <arand> Sargun: aptitude imo is better at showing conflicts and giving suggestions on solutions.

[12:07] <lotus> hey, aptitude seems to be going through Tor.  I don't want this and didn't torify apt-get, how can I stop this from happening?
[12:08] <mobi-sheep> locallyremote: Only if you know multiple languages. :o
[12:08] <locallyremote> or if they all know english? the standard defacto language for troublshooting? just kidding, generally #ubuntu scrolls so fast i cnt even read threads properly
[12:08] <arand> lotus: have you set up the $HTTP_PROXY to point to tor?
[12:09] <NFischer> Hi all.. my problem is: i Just bought a new hdd and mount it in /etc/fstab to /home/data but it apears as "Media" in Places.. as it would be a removable disk.. how can i change this
[12:09] <locallyremote> is $http_proxy and $HTTP_PROXY different to the xubuntu 9.10 environment?
[12:10] <pat|nG> mobi-sheep: still got the same error
[12:10] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: http://tinyurl.com/ydhzgvy ?
[12:11] <pat|nG> i think it's in http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic-updates/universe/binary-i386/packages.bz2 hash sum mismatch
[12:11] <arand> locallyremote: yes, variables are case-sensitive, if you've set the $HTTP_PROXY it might be applied to everything, hence apt as well..?
[12:12] <pat|nG> and the BADSIG
[12:12] <locallyremote> Arand: thanks for a reply!!! :) (relief!) let me try.
[12:12] <lotus> arand: I might have, how to check?
[12:13] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: Where did you get that line from?
[12:14] <airtonix> lotus, echo HTTP_PROXY
[12:14] <arand> lotus: "echo $HTTP_PROXY"
[12:14] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic-updates/universe/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 does exists
[12:14] <lotus> blank
[12:15] <lotus> $http_proxy is set to localhost:8118 though
[12:15] <airtonix> lotus, did you set it with : export $HTTP_PROX="localhost:8118"
[12:15]  * airtonix means HTTP_PROXY
[12:15] <lotus> thankyou airtonix and arand.  I did not.  But I have clicked "apply system wide" on a proxy config dialog somewhere at some point
[12:16] <arand> lotus: then it's not that at least.. how do you see that aptitude goes through tor? Ah, that $http_proxy might be the issue then..
[12:16] <pat|nG> from the error message
[12:16] <pat|nG> same i did post the pastebin.com link earlier
[12:16] <lotus> I see that it goes through tor because without tor open, it says : fowarding failure [ip 127.0.0.1 8118 ]
[12:17] <lotus> what's the best way to get it to not set that way by default?
[12:18] <locallyremote> arand: thanks :)
[12:19] <locallyremote> something seems to be working. lets see if it continues to work as expected :)
[12:19] <arand> lotus: if you do "export http_proxy=" that will clear that variable.
[12:19] <lotus> arand: did that.  do I need to make a script to do that every time I login?
[12:20] <arand> lotus: I think not, but am not sure.
[12:20] <lotus> thanks I'll find out when I reboot :)
[12:20] <arand> lotus: does it work without tor now?
[12:20] <lotus> yes :)_
[12:22] <arand> lotus: btw, I think another way to clear variables is "unset http_proxy", but it should do the same..
[12:24] <pat|nG> mobi-sheep: i think i got the trick to do it but i need ur help i got this http://ae.archive.ubuntu.com thingy...how can i get rid of that ae.? like i would rather use the main archive.ubuntu.com?

[12:25] <Sargun> stupid question, what's with all the gvfsd-http processes accessing the interwebs
[12:25] <ne0futur> hi all I uninstalled many games like torcs, flightgear and others, to free space on my disk
[12:25] <ne0futur> but :
[12:26] <Gorlist> hi, having some problems in ubuntu 9.10, after a while im finding my DVB tv signal deteriorates (can take upto 5 minutes), will drop from 100%, holds at 64% then falls off from their. Test in windows and no problems
[12:26] <ne0futur> http://dpaste.com/151564/
[12:26] <NFischer> Hi all.. my problem is: i Just bought a new hdd and mount it in /etc/fstab to /home/data but it apears as "Media" in Places.. as it would be a removable disk.. how can i change this
[12:26] <ne0futur> apt-get remove dont remove /usr/share/games data ????????
[12:27] <ne0futur> can I safely rm -rf /usr/share/games torcs and others ?
[12:27] <ne0futur> isnt this a apt bug ?
[12:27] <arand> ne0futur: Remove the data packages etc. either through synaptic, or apt-get autoremove
[12:27] <_ruben> ne0futur: use the purge option of apt-get/dpkg
[12:28] <jrib> ne0futur: purge the /right/ package
[12:28] <ne0futur> apt-get purge did nothing
[12:28] <pat|nG> 1: Delete the contents of /var/lib/apt/lists/partial. <---- how to do it? what's the command?
[12:28] <pat|nG> 2: Ensure file /etc/apt/sources.list only points to "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/", not, as Jonathan Harker points out above, sources such as "http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" <---- again how to do it? what's the command?
[12:28] <arand> ne0futur: "remove" with apt-get will only remove the named packages, but not "torcs-data" for example.
[12:28] <arand> ne0futur: but "apt-get autoremove" should do that
[12:29] <ne0futur> apt-get autoremove find nothing to remove
[12:29] <ne0futur> still 1 GB data for games i removed . . .
[12:29] <w3l54666> hey guys, can i create a link-up from mu ubuntu laptop to my m8's windows home server, via the net???
[12:29] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: I'm back. Change it via "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[12:30] <pat|nG> mobi-sheep: tell how to do it bro
[12:30] <pat|nG> hehe
[12:30] <arand> ne0futur: try checking with "dpkg -S /usr/share/games/torcs" to see which package those files belong to.
[12:30] <ne0futur> i ll have to spend 30 mins in dselect to find all the packages and remove them one by one . . . I thought apt was better made . . . never seens this with urpmi . . .
[12:31] <ne0futur> do you think this could be reported as a bug ? or debian guys will say me its normal ?
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> explore the other apt tools perhaps.
[12:31] <diipadaapa_> Hi there =) can some one help me with Iptables.. I cannot mess this up, and I am flying blind. I need www + ssh and mysql  only from localhost + bruteforce attack prevention some kind.. This far I have gotten, but before I run it, I could use some confirmation.. =)  script: http://pastebin.com/mc701c0a
[12:31] <_ruben> ne0futur: dpkg --purge any-packages-you-removed
[12:31]  * Dr_Willis missed the initial problem. but knoqws theres a LOT of features to the apt system that get overlooked
[12:32] <ne0futur> thanks , dpkg -S /usr/share/games/torcs will help me save a little time
[12:32] <diipadaapa_> I have one shot at this.. if I shut my self out.. that server is sitting idly for 2 weeks.. o_O
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> why ssh only from localhost? that dosetn make a lot of sence
[12:33] <ne0futur> dpkg --purge torcs did nothing
[12:33] <diipadaapa_> Dr_Willis: no ssh from out side, but mysql only from localhost
[12:33] <Sargun> root@lucifer:~# jockey-text -e xorg:nvidia-185
[12:33] <Sargun> SystemError: installArchives() failed
[12:33] <Sargun> I get that fun little error, any ideas
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> diipadaapa_:  i belive mysql has settings for that to set what ports/ip's to listen to
[12:34] <ne0futur> dpkg --purge flightgear neither
[12:34] <arand> ne0futur: did you only install the "torcs" package when you installed it, normally "torcs-data" is pulled along, but marked as auto-installed and hence can be autoremoved when "torcs" is removed.
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> why not 'sudo apt-get --purge whatever' ?
[12:34] <arand> ne0futur: if you installed those packages specifically they wont be able to autoremove.
[12:35] <ne0futur> Dr_Willis: i do it as root . . . dont need sudo
[12:35] <Myrtti> ne0futur: oh, you've got root. good luck
[12:35]  * Dr_Willis still wonders why dpkg and not apt-get..
[12:35] <ne0futur> ill find them one by one with dpkg -S . . . but really it looks like a bug for me
[12:36] <ManDay> Audacious doesnt properly recognize UTF-8 characters, so do some other programs, how can I fix that?
[12:36]  * Dr_Willis has missed ne0futur 's original problem.
[12:36] <ne0futur> and furthermore packages are badly named, without dpkg -S i would have never nbeen able to find a package named fgfs-base ( could be named flightgear-data . . . )
[12:37] <Myrtti> ne0futur: apt-cache search flightgear didn't help then?
[12:37] <pat|nG> Myrtti: http://pastebin.com/m504f3481 can u give me the howto do it step by step? how to delete the contents? and change the archive source?
[12:37] <ne0futur> Myrtti: is it bad to use root with ubuntu when managing packages ?
[12:38] <Myrtti> ne0futur: in general, using root in ubuntu to do *anything* is bad.
[12:38] <Myrtti> ne0futur: use sudo.
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> ne0futur:  its best to use sudo as needed like ubuntu is designed.
[12:38] <Stevethepirate> bbl
[12:38] <ne0futur> is it possible apt dont work is using root , not sudo ?
[12:38] <arand> Dr_Willis: has residual stuff in /usr/share/games, albeit having removed the "basenamed" packages, guessing that a lot of *-data *-core etc. is still left, and unable to autoremove for some reason.
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> ne0futur:  it should work the same.
[12:38] <ctford> @Dr_Willis I have a friend whose first command when opening a terminal is "sudo bash"
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> ctford:  i will be nice and just say.. 'thats stupid' :)
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> then again you have to wonder what all one needs to do as 'root' once you get a system set up.. i rarely use sudo for more then an apt-get update, and apt-get upgrade  these days
[12:39] <ctford> @Dr_Willis You use nicer language than I did when I saw him do it
[12:39] <ne0futur> ok apt-get remove fgfs-base freed 400 MB ;) i m better . . . next one
[12:40]  * Dr_Willis thinks theres a reason synaptic was invented
[12:41] <ManDay> Audacious doesnt properly recognize UTF-8 characters, so do some other programs, how can I fix that?
[12:41] <w3l54666> so can anybody help me out regarding linking my ubuntu laptop to a friends Windows Home Server??
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  clarify what you mean by 'linking'
[12:41] <ManDay> USB Thumb drives fail to automount although AUtomount is enabled in gconf and the device is propery formatted, what could possibly cause that?
[12:41] <w3l54666> Dr_Willis: via internet
[12:42] <ne0futur> arand: many thanks for the dpkg -S command, seems to be the only working tool to find and kick game dependencies filling my disk
[12:42] <k0ala> i need some help with the firewall
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  ive noticed automounting 'crashes' for me every so often  i can still manually mount devices.. but i have to log out/back in to get automounting working right again.. siometimes i got to reboot.. not sure whats causiong it
[12:42] <w3l54666> Dr_Willis: as he lives a few many miles away from me, and we share documents and such
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  try to be a little bit more specific by what you want to Do  with a 'link' that term means veyr little.
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  He could use winscp to access files on your machine if you wanted.
[12:43] <ManDay> Dr_Willis, I can always mount it manually (as su). Rebooting or logging out never changed anything for me, tho
[12:43] <k0ala> am on karmic and used the network tools to find the open ports. how do i close those open ports?
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> ManDay:  odd.  Ive had similer issues since beta.
[12:43] <w3l54666> Dr_Willis: ok i wana connect to his home server, for specific files, and if need be, use it as storage, is that possible???
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> k0ala:  dont run any services it dosxent matter if they are open if a service is not listening to them.
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  proberly. but ive never done it that way. You may to ask in #windows for what service to use on windows to set that up. You dont want to do 'samba' over the internet without a ssh tunnle, or vpn proberly
[12:44] <arand> ne0futur: if you did not specifically install the fgfs-base package it *should* be automatically removable via autoremove, hmm... Also I know that aptitude tends to autoremove things automatically where apt-get doesn't, might be worth using instead in future..
[12:44] <k0ala> Dr_Willis, 139, 445 :|
[12:45] <ManDay> Dr_Willis, thanks for the hint then
[12:45] <arand> ne0futur: but as of now sometihng might have marked the '
[12:45] <w3l54666> Dr_Willis: ok so what would i need for a ssh tunnel then software wise, on my end of the link???
[12:45] <ne0futur> arand: i just installed torcs and flightgear ( anongst others ) using dselect
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> !ssh | w3l54666
[12:45] <k0ala> netbios-ssn
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  no idea really. i dont do windows -> linux stuff like that. except on a local lan.
[12:46] <mobi-sheep> w3l54666: 700MB+ media transfers takes forever if you're thinking that.
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> !firewall | k0ala
[12:46] <w3l54666> mobi-sheep: really
[12:46] <ManDay> Audacious doesnt properly recognize UTF-8 characters, so do some other programs, how can I fix that?
[12:46] <ne0futur> arand: iirc dselect automaticaly selected the data packages needed for the games to work
[12:46] <arand> ne0futur: ...marked the *-data packages as manually installed..
[12:46] <pat|nG> http://pastebin.com/m504f3481 can u give me the howto do it step by step? how to delete the contents? and change the archive source?
[12:46] <w3l54666> mobi-sheep: rekon i could stream from his server then???
[12:46] <ne0futur> ( and should do the same when uninstaling)
[12:47] <k0ala> Dr_Willis, though i have tried both, thanks for the help
[12:47] <mobi-sheep> w3l54666: Really. It goes in and out of ISP interwebs and whatnot.
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> k0ala:  My router blocks those from the internet.. so it dosent matter if they are open.. actually they NEED to be open for samba to work on my lan.
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> k0ala:  so the fact theya re open with the tools dont matter here.
[12:48] <mobi-sheep> w3l54666: You're better off with external storage media. It is faster and hassle-free.
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> I forget which one is samba.. thats 139 isent it.. whats 445?
[12:48] <k0ala> 139 - netbios-ssn / 445 :microsoft ds
[12:48] <mobi-sheep> Dr_Willis: Microsoft-DS Active Directory, Windows shares
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  wanting to stream video files? he could install 'orb' on his windows box then you could watch videos from anywhere. :0
[12:49] <k0ala> i dont have any windows disk here
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> k0ala:  is your pc behind a router? or directly connected to the internet? its the only machine on the lan?
[12:50] <arand> ne0futur: yea, you could check if they are in fact set to manually installed by using "aptitude show packagename" (There is an automatically installed=yes/no item there)
[12:50] <k0ala> behind a router. (actually the modem also has a builtin router and i got another between it snd the pcs)
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> k0ala:  let some site like shields up scan your network and see aht it sees.. You may be worring about nothing
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> Unless you are worried about the other pc's on the lan haxxoring you
[12:51] <k0ala> i got booted 5-6 times in yahoo today
[12:52] <k0ala> it happened for the first time
[12:52] <k0ala> today
[12:52] <CaneToad> anybody else got broken bluetooth on karmic and jaunty with recent updates?  was working fine for me, now obex won't work
[12:52] <pat|nG> mobi-sheep: bro....wat's the command? i mean i like to delete the contents of /var/lib/apt/lists/partial. ?
[12:52] <mobi-sheep> Dr_Willis: You used Orb before? It works well?
[12:53] <k0ala> m using pidgin 2.6.2
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> mobi-sheep:  it 'works' but it dependsx on your connection a great deal
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> mobi-sheep:  it did let the wife watch videos on the Wii. :)
[12:53] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: "sudo rm -rfv /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*"
[12:54] <mobi-sheep> Dr_Willis: Nice. Any linux alternatives? I know VLC is capable of that but meh -- A little hassle.
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> mobi-sheep:  orb is radically different from how vlc works. :)
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> mobi-sheep:  no idea on a linux port of it. Proberly isent one
[12:55] <ManDay> Audacious doesnt properly recognize UTF-8 characters, so do some other programs, how can I fix that?
[12:57] <pat|nG> mobi-sheep: bro do i have to change http://archive.ubuntu.com? i mean do i have to change all to http://archive.ubuntu.com?
[12:57] <ne0futur> arand: yes theyre not automatically installed . . . i thought apt was managing dependencies . . . i m really disappointed with this
[12:57] <wejick> Can anyone tell me about readme.diskdefines, and the detail about this thing.
[12:58]  * Dr_Willis has never had issues with apt-get not manageing dependencies
[12:59]  * Urda loves the aptitude way more!
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> i had aptitude remove then reinstall 300mb of  identical files.. once.. for some odd reason. :)
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> still not sure why it did that.. but it reinstalled the oens it had just decided to remove. heh
[13:00] <pat|nG> SUCCES!
[13:00] <pat|nG> i did it!
[13:00] <pat|nG> thanx!
[13:00] <pat|nG> weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[13:02] <pat|nG> http://pastebin.com/m504f3481 <---- for updating error do this steps....it works for me! just did it right now.....everything is fine! thanx to mr. Geoff!  mobi-sheep and Myrtti! and some of the guys here who helped!
[13:02] <mobi-sheep> pat|nG: Weeeeee! (Little fake bro)
[13:03] <ManDay> Audacious doesnt properly recognize UTF-8 characters, so do some other programs, how can I fix that?
[13:04] <pat|nG> ManDay : get the audacious2
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> I cant even find any of my music thqt uses fancy characters
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> I got some with Japanses/chionease characters in their names.. but i think audacious worked with them last i tried
[13:05] <mobi-sheep> ManDay: http://tinyurl.com/ybf694j
[13:05] <w3l54666> does ubuntu have a plug and play system??? as i got a USB mouse for lappy???
[13:05] <UK-DONE> Why can't I start my net I get net work unmaged error
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  i plyg in my mouse in my laptop and it works
[13:06] <w3l54666> Dr_Willis: hmm mine hasnt
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> check dmesg output.
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> its worked that way for me for Ages and on several laptops
[13:07] <w3l54666> Dr_Willis: and what do i look for??
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  any messages at teh bottom qwhen you plug it in
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> plug in.. check dmesg command out put a few times as it 'scans' the usb stuff
[13:08] <mobi-sheep> "lsusb" could works too.
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> it 'should' work..
[13:09] <w3l54666> Dr_Willis: how do i pastebin summat from terminal??
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> !infp pastebinit
[13:09] <w3l54666> Dr_Willis: command wise?
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> w3l54666:  pastebinit command
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> !info pastebinit
[13:09] <mobi-sheep> it 'would' work :)er
[13:09] <nikolam> hello, anyone else also have slow speed when downloading from ppa.launchpad.net or is it only me?
[13:10] <wejick> I need the readme.diskdefines's documentation. i've googled it but I cant found it
[13:10] <ne0futur> arand: yes i ll try to use aptitude and not apt-get or dselect, thanks for the advice
[13:10] <UK-DONE> Why do I get network unmanaged error  ?
[13:11] <mgolisch> UK-DONE: probably because your interface is managed via /etc/network/interfaces file?
[13:11] <ne0futur> thanks all. bye
[13:12] <mgolisch> networkmanager leaves all network interfaces alone that are managed by the system networking initscripts
[13:12] <UK-DONE> mgolisch: But now I cant updae anymore and my net is down
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> Ive never used dselect in several years of ubuntu ussage.....
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> I dont even bother with aptitude much any more
[13:13] <UK-DONE>  mgolisch: Any solution for this ? I tried a couple of solutions from forums but couldnt do it properly
[13:13] <w3l54666> did the dmesg output, then what to pastebin it??
[13:15] <nikolam> hello, anyone else also have slow speed when downloading from ppa.launchpad.net or is it only me?
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> dmesg | pastebinit
[13:15] <remoteCTRL1> in know this is heavily offtopic but as i dont know where else to ask: i want to configure squid to anonymize http requests, meaning the receiver does not see the ip of the client but the one of squid, does anybody know how to do that?
[13:15] <amouge> hey all.. im only a few month in to running ubuntu full time.. ive had it before.. but never ran it full time like I am now...
[13:16] <amouge> yesterday I started getting random pop ups on pidgin... mostly saying a few random letters and invalid channel or user
[13:16] <remoteCTRL1> amouge: congratulations!
[13:16] <amouge> today I got one that said __ wants to send you to irc.someserver.com#hackerthreads
[13:16] <UK-DONE> Does anyone have a solution for network unmanaged error ?
[13:16] <amouge> i forget what someserver.com was
[13:16] <remoteCTRL1> amouge: configure pidgin not to receive messages from ppl not on your contact list
[13:16] <mobi-sheep> amouge: Spams. Ignore them.
[13:17] <amouge> ok.. they were pidgin notificiations though.. not messages in new tabs
[13:17] <amouge> does that make a difference
[13:17] <remoteCTRL1> UK-DONE: yes: edit nano /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf and set managed to true
[13:17] <remoteCTRL1> amouge: afaik not
[13:19] <amouge> thank you.. was worried about being compromised..
[13:20] <remoteCTRL1> amouge: not gonna happen unless you accidentally click accept on such requests
[13:20] <UK-DONE> remoteCTRL1: I need a little bit primer for editing files in Konsole (Yes I have kubuntu) I tried a couple of times but all lines just disappers when I press insert button
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> UK-DONE:  using what text based editor?
[13:21] <remoteCTRL1> UK-DONE: i wrote the command already with nano infront which is the editeor;)
[13:21] <remoteCTRL1> -e
[13:22] <mobi-sheep> amouge: Like that?
[13:22] <UK-DONE> remoteCTRL1: Ok I tried vi to edit the same file but when i clicked insert it kept adding line and all the main code went to the bottom
[13:23] <UK-DONE> Anyways I ll try
[13:23] <remoteCTRL1> UK-DONE: do yourself a favour and use nano as i said;) further put sudo infront otherwise you will not be able to save the file
[13:23] <NFischer> Hi all.. my problem is: i Just bought a new hdd and mount it in /etc/fstab to /home/data but it apears as "Media" in Places.. as it would be a removable disk.. how can i change this
[13:23] <NFischer> Hi all.. my problem is: i Just bought a new hdd and mount it in /etc/fstab to /home/data but it apears as "Media" in Places.. as it would be a removable disk.. how can i change this
[13:23] <FloodBot2> NFischer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> if its a removeable disk.. let the auto mount system handle it.. not fstab..
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> is one way
[13:24] <lenswipe> hey guys
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> NFischer:  also give the disk/filsystem a proper 'label' and it should use the label name where it can
[13:25] <mobi-sheep> NFischer: You can make it looks nice (ie "20 GB Filesystem")
[13:25] <ManDay> Audacious doesnt properly recognize UTF-8 characters, so do some other programs, how can I fix that?
[13:26] <B9> hey when i upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic some of my keypad directional arrows stopped working, does anybody have any ideas about how i may fix em please?
[13:26] <Justin_`> Quetstion: Will my Microsoft keyboard and mouse work with Ubuntu (Running on USB)
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> Justin_`:  normal usb keybiorads/mice should work fine
[13:27] <ManDay> yes Justin_`
[13:27] <pat|nG> i'm enjoying ubuntu now!
[13:27] <Justin_`> Will my netgear wireless adapter work fine aswell?
[13:27] <scunizi> Justin_`: unless they are logitec.. then some have issues..
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> depends on the chipset Justin_`
[13:27] <Justin_`> Ah ok.
[13:28] <Justin_`> Damn you guys are really helpful and fast
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> Only mouse/keyboard issies ive ever had was with the fancy keys/buttons that i never use anyway
[13:28] <lenswipe> has anyone got any ideas of cool things to do with ubuntu
[13:28] <lenswipe> things  can install over webmin that is
[13:28] <scunizi> Justin_`: that's why we get the big bucks :)
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> lenswipe:  over webmin? Huh. whaat does that have to do with anything.
[13:28] <Justin_`> haha :)
[13:28] <Justin_`> How much ram would it use just running the OS?
[13:28] <lenswipe> Dr_Willis: it means i cant use the command line
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> lenswipe:  why not?
[13:29] <scunizi> Justin_`: the live cd I think requires 384 to run.. server 256.. but the more the merrier..
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> theres always the synaptic gui...
[13:29] <scunizi> Justin_`: those are minimums
[13:29] <lenswipe> Dr_Willis: because the client side ssh client in webmin requires outbound port 22 to be open, im at college where its blocked.
[13:29] <Justin_`> Do you have to have the CD in to use the OS?
[13:30] <arand> Justin_`: no
[13:30] <Justin_`> Ah ok awesome :)
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> lenswipe:  you do realize that webmin is considered a big security risk?  and you can proberly set up ssh to use some other port..
[13:30] <jeke> I am trying to reset my root password with Ubuntu 9.10 i selected recovery mode from the GRUB menu I then get a menu which gives me the option to get a root shell. However this root shell requires a maintenance password. How do I change a forgotten root password?
[13:30] <B9> hey when i upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic some of my keypad directional arrows stopped working, does anybody have any ideas about how i may fix em please?
[13:30] <scunizi> Justin_`: but then how you gonna get it?  .. you could download the iso and put it on a usb stick instead of a cd
[13:31] <Justin_`> Yeah I am downloading the ISO, burning it onto a CD then installing it
[13:31] <Justin_`> But I thought you said you need to have the 'live cd' in to use the OS
[13:31] <scunizi> Justin_`: you on a win machine now?
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> Justin_`:  live cd lets you test or install the os
[13:31] <LjL> !root | jeke
[13:31] <Justin_`> Windows vista atm
[13:31] <arand> jonbo: but if you run the liveCD environment where you boot solely off the CD, then you'll have to keep the CD in of course, but not if you install ubuntu to disk.
[13:32] <Myrtti> jeke: do not try to set one, please.
[13:32] <jeke> I have also forgotten my normal user password
[13:32] <LjL> jeke: add "init=/bin/sh" to your kernel line from the GRUB menu, change password.
[13:32] <jeke> LjL, thanks
[13:33] <scunizi> Justin_`: ok.. the live cd allow you to boot from it.  You'll be able to run the os right from the cd.. it's slower (much) but a good way to test it... also burning the iso is different from data. if your burning software doesn't support iso images. just google for windows iso burner.. when burning do it at the slowest speed possible..
[13:34] <Justin_`> Ahh ok
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> !iso
[13:34] <arand> jonbo: oops, above was meant for Justin_`
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. thers some factoid with a list of burning apps for windwos.. I  like 'infrarecorder' or 'burnatonce'
[13:35] <scunizi> Justin_`: there you go .. Dr_Willis had ubottu give you a link that might be helpful
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> !burn
[13:35] <Justin_`> Wouldn't I be able to burn the ISO onto a CD from my windows laptop?
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> Still not that one. :)
[13:35] <arand> !burniso
[13:35] <Justin_`> then put that into the desktop I want to install it on
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> Justin_`:  yes with the right tools
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> Justin_`:  or use unetbootin and make a bootable usb flash drive.. it will install faster from that
[13:36] <Justin_`> Ok ill read that help site
[13:37] <bbelt16ag> hey peeps i was  wondering if there is a hotkey app for linux or something built in to ubuntu where i can have keys set to start apps.  print text, change  screens  etc??
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> bbelt16ag:  gnome and compiz has some settings to do that
[13:38] <bbelt16ag> ok
[13:38] <arand> bbelt16ag: there is already a configuration for that in System>pref>keyb. shortc.
[13:38] <bbelt16ag> i see it
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> some of those example tasks  - fall under 'compiz' controlled features also
[13:39] <dp_> so whats the word on fglrx cards in Lucid?
[13:39] <Pici> dp_ : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.4 support/discussion.
[13:39] <arand> bbelt16ag: And also compizconfig-settings-manager has a very general tool for applying all kinds of shortcuts
[13:39] <dp_> Pici: cool
[13:39] <B9> hey when i upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic some of my keypad directional arrows stopped working, does anybody have any ideas about how i may fix em please?
[13:40] <arand> bbelt16ag: in case you're compiz of course.
[13:41] <scunizi> B9: LOL.. for some they are activated and they've never seen it.. drives them crazy to turn them off... try ctrl+alt+numlock.. might tbe ctrl+numlock .. it activates the arrow keys in the numeric keypad to act like a mouse
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> B9:  some as in left works.. but not right>
[13:41] <scunizi> or de-activates
[13:42] <bbelt16ag> k thanks
[13:44] <jeke> I am still having problems resetting my password i tried adding init=/bin/sh to the kernel line in grub. I get the error /bin/sh cannot open splash, and then a kernel panic
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> jeke:  the 'rescue/revovery' option dident work from teh grub menus to get to a shell?
[13:44] <jeke> no
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> what did it do then?
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> You may have deeper issues
[13:45] <jeke> if their is no root password can just push enter at the recovery screen menu
[13:45] <jeke> ?
[13:45] <scunizi> yes
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> cant say that i rember off hand jeke  -  I always rember my password
[13:46] <jeke> ok i will try that first
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> a kernel panic - seems to be a sign of a deeper problem
[13:50] <jeke> Could i kernel panic
[13:51] <jeke> Sorry, *Could a kernel panic be caused by another error in the boot process
[13:51] <jeke> such as not being able to enter single user mode
[13:52] <jeke> it boots normally without the init=/bin/sh parameter
[13:52] <jaypur> Myrtti, thx
[13:52] <Kartagis> I am using brasero to burn a CD. sometimes it refuses to burn one unless I reboot the laptop. any ideas?

[13:56] <boli> ola
[13:56] <lenswipe> so does anyone have any ideas?
[13:56] <lenswipe> no?

[13:57] <jeke> yeah
[13:57] <lenswipe> Slart: can it?
[13:57] <lenswipe> Slart: what module is that?
[13:57] <lenswipe> Slart: whats it called?
[13:57] <scunizi> lenswipe: what is it with webmin.. is webmin installed at the school or on your remote machine?
[13:58] <Slart> lenswipe: I vaguely remember it having an apt module
[13:58] <lenswipe> scunizi: webmin is server side - its on my machine, its the only thing the college dont block more or less
[13:58] <Pici> I vaguely remember webmin not being supported here.
[13:58] <lenswipe> Slart: hmm it doesnt have one of tose

[13:58] <grey_> hi #ubuntu
[13:59] <lenswipe> Dr_Willis: no, i want to install like servers to do cool stuff without having SSH access
[13:59] <grey_> could someone tell what is the name on unstable ubuntu repository ?
[13:59] <grey_> in debian it is sid
[13:59] <Myrtti> grey_: there is no such thing.
[13:59] <grey_> Myrtti: ok, what is the latest repository then ?
[13:59] <Myrtti> grey_: ubuntu isn't a rolling release distro, but you may want to try lucid.
[13:59] <Myrtti> !lucid | grey_
[13:59] <scunizi> Pici: lenswipe correct.. webmin isn't supported because it changes some file settings that get borked on some upgrades, patches etc.. I think the supported package is ebox or something similar
[14:00] <grey_> Myrtti: where I can read about repository organization ?
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> lenswipe:  time to check the package manager then I guess..  Theres a few games that are client/server// but you still need the cliekt on your end
[14:00] <grey_> ubottu: thaks
[14:00] <grey_> Myrtti: thanks

[14:04] <heylouiz> anyone from brazil?
[14:05] <leo> what about check for trouble, like the CHKDSK on ms?
 I am using brasero to burn a CD. sometimes it refuses to burn one unless I reboot the laptop. any ideas?

[14:05] <Justin_`> Are you able to run .sh files on Ubuntu?
[14:05] <Myrtti> leo: fsck is run automatically every so often in boot
[14:05] <Tm_T> Justin_`: sure
[14:05] <heylouiz> thanks
[14:05] <scunizi> leo: it'll do that every 24 boot or 6 mths whichever comes first

[14:05] <lideranca> ubuntu the best
[14:06] <erUSUL> !java | Justin_`
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> theres rarely a need to defrag the various linux fileysstems,.. 'ubuntu' is an os. :) not a Filesystem
[14:06] <BluesKaj> !ext
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> Justin_`:  install the ubuntu-restricted-extras pacakage it should install java and some other parts
[14:06] <Carlis_> I am trying to install ie7 in Ubuntu but I receive this message: Ie7 is not supported on this operating system. How do i fix this issue ?
[14:06] <BluesKaj> !extfs
[14:07] <iceroot> Carlis_: why you want to do something like that?
[14:07] <trijntje> Carlis_, firefox?
[14:07] <scunizi> Kartagis: did you try k3b?
[14:07] <BluesKaj> dumbot
[14:07] <Myrtti> !bot > BluesKaj
[14:07] <iceroot> Carlis_: you dont want IE
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> Carlis_:  err.. give up? i doubt if its doabnle.. theres that ies4linux tool somewhere.. but it only does up to ie6 i think
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> !ie
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> :)
[14:07] <Kartagis> scunizi, no, but it doesn't happen on my desktop
[14:07] <trijntje> haha
[14:07] <Kartagis> scunizi, what could be the difference?
[14:07] <eR> d
[14:08] <BluesKaj> Myrtti, yeah, but this bot is dumber than it should be
[14:08] <eR> dd
[14:08] <scunizi> Kartagis: no idea..
[14:08] <eR> d
[14:08] <eR> d
[14:08] <FloodBot2> eR: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:08] <Diverdude> I have .sh script.How do i make it accesible in the entire system, so that I from an arbitrary folder can execute it by writing e.g. myscript if the scriptname is myscript.sh?
[14:08] <Myrtti> BluesKaj: no, it's exactly as smart as it needs be
[14:08] <BluesKaj> yeah sure
[14:08] <Carlis_> I have installed WorldCast but I can´t insert and image in the text body. To fix this issue is installing ie7 with winetricks.
[14:09] <iceroot> Carlis_: with what browser you cant do it?
[14:09] <shirish_> what is that bluetooth accessory that is used to transfer files from mobile to PC
[14:09] <shirish_> I dont remember the name
[14:09] <Carlis_> ie7
[14:09] <shirish_> !bluetooth
[14:09] <iceroot> Carlis_: cant
[14:10] <erUSUL> Diverdude: pu it somewhere in your path ~/bin/ fo yourself or /usr/local/bin/ if you want it accessible to others
[14:10] <VCoolio> Diverdude: check possible folder with "echo $PATH"
[14:10] <Carlis_> How can I insert an image in text body in WorldCast ?
[14:11] <Diverdude> erUSUL, i cannot just update the path to also point at the folder containing mysctript.sh?
[14:11] <nn-main> Carlis_: are you talking about internet explorer 7?  I use ie6 on linux .. via wine .. need it for some school thing that requires active X
[14:11] <erUSUL> Diverdude: it is easier to use an already present folder.
[14:12] <Diverdude> erUSUL, hmm but if i format my computer i might forget what scripts i have created that lies in that huge folder with all the other scripts....It easier to just remember to backup a folder containing all my selfmade scripts
[14:12] <Carlis_> I was installing ie6 and now I decided to install ie7 and now I receive the message Ie7 doesn´t support this OS
[14:12] <erUSUL> Diverdude: ~/bin/ in your home folder is the weasiest you do not need root
[14:12] <sa_coraima_xula> playboy
[14:13] <scunizi> Carlis_: worldcast is for mass emailing?  with html?  a windows program? wine support in #winehq, windows in ##windows
[14:13] <nn-main> Carlis_: ... lol you cant install them dirrectly into linux ... earch ies4linux  project
[14:13] <erUSUL> Diverdude: use bin in your home folder. your home folder is something you will allways bckup or copy
[14:14] <erUSUL> Diverdude: also /usr/local/bin/ is empty in a fresh install only compiled programs or scripts mad by yourself en up in /usr/local/
[14:14] <sa_coraima_xula> playboy
[14:14] <VCoolio> Diverdude: listen to erUSUL but to add a folder to path: add a line to ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc like "PATH=${PATH}:/yourfolder" and then a line "export PATH"
[14:14] <IdleOne> !es | sa_coraima_xula
[14:15] <Carlis_> is there a #windows channel ?
[14:15] <Myrtti> Carlis_: ##windows
[14:15] <Emanon> god i hope not
[14:15] <scunizi> Carlis_: gave it to you earlier
[14:15] <nn-main> Carlis_: command /join ##windows
[14:15] <Emanon> more like #:
[14:16] <Carlis_> ok thanks
[14:17] <scunizi> Emanon: # works for the windows channel.. but it refers to ##windows
[14:17] <amokpaule> Hello, on ubuntu karmic my mouse is moving from alone to the top of my screen
[14:17] <Emanon> read the name of the symbols i used out load scunizi it will make sense then
[14:17] <smokey> how the new linux mint
[14:17] <Justin_`> 15 mins til the download is done :) :) :)
[14:18] <Pici> smokey: We do not support Linux Mint here. Please use their support channel.
[14:18] <Pici> !mintsupport | smokey
[14:18] <scunizi> Emanon: got it.... careful.. that's treading on the coc some
[14:18] <Emanon> i know hehe
[14:18] <Emanon> but it's windows so it balances out
[14:20] <GutZuWiSSeN> are there any (good) project management  tools for ubuntu?
[14:21] <scunizi> GutZuWiSSeN: what have you tried?
[14:21] <Emanon> yea, quality kind of depends on what you're used to using
[14:21] <amokpaule> Hello, on ubuntu karmic my mouse is moving from alone to the top of my screen
[14:21] <GutZuWiSSeN> scunizi, openproj, planner, ganttproject  ...
[14:21] <capron> GutZuWiSSeN,  maybe check system->Admin
[14:21] <istvan> my friend installed ubuntu inside a windows partition, so he has the ubuntu folder inside the root dir. i'm trying to fix his grub, but i cant get any of the grub commands to find the boot directory with that setup. whats the solution? do i mount that ubuntu folder instead of the paritition?
[14:22] <Ari_Lazarus> Gamers! What are the best games in the repository that are updated on a regular basis?
[14:23] <Emanon> Ari_Lazarus: http://whdb.com/2008/top-25-linux-games-for-2008/
[14:23] <Emanon> thats just one opinion
[14:23] <scunizi> GutZuWiSSeN: check this list.. http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/200904102027568/ProjectManagement.html  planner and ganttproject aren't too bad.. there are also some web based (for your server) CRM programs that also incorporate that feature..
[14:23] <Emanon> theres a ton more but theres also other articles
[14:23] <GutZuWiSSeN> scunizi, thx
[14:24] <Ari_Lazarus> Emanon: Cheers. I've got Freeciv and Battle for Wesnoth. Both epic games. :)
[14:25] <Emanon> i went off games for quite a while (burned out after 10 years on EverQuest) getting back in with simple things like card games anagrams chess and the like
[14:27] <Ari_Lazarus> You could try flash games on Kongregate or Newgrounds. I found out those are handy when you've got a couple minutes instead of hours.
[14:27] <istvan> can anyone help with my grub problem?
[14:27] <amokpaule> Hello, on ubuntu karmic my mouse is moving from alone to the top of my screen
[14:27] <Sacho> Yay wesnoth!
[14:27] <coz_> amokpaule,  quickly or over a period of time?
[14:28] <capron> istvan, ubuntu use grub2 the menu.list is gone
[14:28] <coz_> istvan,  and if no one help here you can try the #grub channel :)
[14:28] <coz_> istvan,  what is the issue...out of curiosity
[14:28] <amokpaule> coz all the time it moves up slow needs about 30 secs from the bottom to the top
[14:28] <IdleOne> istvan: also try #ubuntu-wubi
[14:29] <IdleOne> err nm that
[14:29] <capron> istvan, I dont think I can help you but what is the problem ?
[14:29] <IdleOne> doesn't exist
[14:29] <tininek> i need my mom to think she uses vista, what should I change at the begining? usplash or xplash?
[14:30] <coz_> tininek,  on karmic it would be xsplash..but why try to fool her?
[14:30] <tininek> ok
[14:30] <istvan> the problem is my friend installed ubuntu inside a windows partition (in the root dir there is a 'ubuntu' directory) familiar with this feature? anyhow, his grub is messed up, but i can't get grub to reconfigure itself from a live cd because i can't make it find the boot dir since it isn't in the root of the parition (my theory anyway)
[14:30] <capron> tininek,  Haha think she use vista lol
[14:31] <tininek> i tried to dialogate
[14:31] <tininek> i tried to explain, but too much effort
[14:31] <coz_> tininek,  she isnt bying it :)
[14:31] <tininek> she just wants vista so there she has
[14:31] <tininek> she suspects something i guess
[14:31] <coz_> tininek,   I have switch many clients over to ubuntu  from windows...some with great difficulty until they actually used it
[14:31] <tininek> i just need to change that ubuntu logos
[14:32] <tininek> i know
[14:32] <coz_> tininek,  the white on black one?
[14:32] <coz_> logo
[14:32] <istvan> coz_: capron ^
[14:32] <tininek> I mean the ubuntu logos at the begining
[14:32] <tininek> i didnt know it was xplash
[14:32] <tininek> thanx
[14:33] <coz_> tininek,   /usr/share/images/xsplash
[14:33] <JuJuBee__> I just installed a fres copy of 9.04 on a server and for some reason apache not starting up when I restart the server.
[14:33] <ubuntu> hey  i have a dvd disc its original i want to play it i open it on vlc nothing happens i click on the folder of the dvd i see the files are there
[14:34] <tininek> seems complicated, but i found a tool called TheeMahn’s XSplash Maker
[14:34] <capron> istvan, maybe try out that grub channel, or try reinstall grub in the mbr  on the disk but it might mess up the system even more
[14:34] <erUSUL> !dvd | ubuntu
[14:34] <istvan> capron: ok, thanks
[14:34] <coz_> tininek,   do you have a link to that?
[14:34] <tininek> im seeking
[14:34] <tininek> i found this tool ond ubuntu ultimate edition
[14:35] <tininek> if u find shate coz_
[14:35] <coz_> ah
[14:35] <tininek> share
[14:35] <fixxxermet> My /home is on a separate partition and is encrypted.  After reinstalling ubuntu and choosing NOT to format my /home partition, when I login, my desktop never shows up and my files are not in /home/user.  Do I need to somehow decrypt my home partition?
[14:35] <capron> istvan , I liked this tutorial for grub2 http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html
[14:35] <tininek> coz_: maybe this http://www.themelinux.com/nggallery/page-46/page-2/
[14:36] <Da> Hello
[14:37] <luca__> Hi, I decided to change the system language from italian to english. Ubuntu asked me if I wanted to translate the folders names, I clicked yes but now I have the "old" desktop called "Scrivania" and a new empty desktop (which is the translation). How do I revert this?
[14:37] <noviceTux> Hi all, i have problem with my flash player on firefox, i want to delete it and install it again
[14:37] <noviceTux> any one can guide me?
[14:38] <warriorforgod> noviceTux: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[14:38] <fogbank> luca__: it would probably be easier to just move your files from the old directory to the new one.
[14:39] <scunizi> noviceTux: what did you install to get flash working in the first place?
[14:39] <fogbank> luca__: and possibly file a bug.
[14:39] <JuJuBee__> Any help with apache?
[14:40] <techrascal> what is the geekiest thing you can do to your ubuntu system?
[14:40] <scunizi> noviceTux: if you installed the package mentioned by warriorforgod *and* you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras then you have 2 different flash packages installed.. they are interfearing with each other.. uninstall the "non-free" version
[14:40] <kain> get my site running using flash
[14:40] <kain> actually it works nicely but was a little pita
[14:40] <fogbank> techrascal: make love to your floppy drive? :P
[14:41] <techrascal> lol....
[14:41] <noviceTux> warriorforgod done , and now when i want to install it again after downloading from adobe site i got this message Erreur : Entre en conflit avec le paquet installé « flashplugin-installer »
[14:41] <techrascal> fogbank: seriously something really hard to do on a linux system
[14:41] <kain> not sure I can link it in there, so :^)
[14:41] <rumpsy> Good antivorus for ubuntu?
[14:41] <Myrtti> rumpsy: not really needed
[14:41] <scunizi> noviceTux: see my post to you above
[14:42] <rumpsy> Myrtti: Okay.
[14:42] <pat|nG> i got a webcam on my laptop...i haven't try to use it on ubuntu coz i don't know where i can find the apps? can anyone tell me?
[14:42] <fogbank> techrascal: I guess that hacking the kernel would rank pretty high on the geek scale.
[14:42] <greedo> My question: If I use the lpr command from a regular ssh client (ie. not using xterm), I get a printout from a IP printer without problems.
[14:42] <erUSUL> pat|nG: install cheese
[14:42] <erUSUL> !info cheese
[14:42] <greedo> But if I am using an xterm and issue the exact same command, a window named "LPR GUI" pops up. The problem with the gui window is that the "OK" button is greyed out and nothing I do seems to allow me to print.
[14:42] <noviceTux> scunizi how to install the non free one?
[14:43] <scunizi> noviceTux: did you already install ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[14:43] <noviceTux> not yet
[14:43] <noviceTux> true to say i don't know
[14:43] <scunizi> noviceTux: then don't bother with the non-free version of flash.. just install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:43] <BluesKaj> is canonical selling out ?  http://tinyurl.com/yabprov
[14:44] <noviceTux> scunizi doing this
[14:44] <scunizi> BluesKaj: no
[14:44] <Myrtti> BluesKaj: feel free to discuss this at #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:45] <mikey_> where would i go to ask questions about xubuntu?
[14:46] <Tm_T> mikey_: here or #xubuntu (:
[14:46] <coz_> mikey_,  here or  #xubuntu I believe
[14:46] <BluesKaj> yeah Myrtti , there's so much activity in here at the moment
[14:46] <Myrtti> BluesKaj: it's offtopic discussion for this channel.
[14:46] <mikey_> thanks

[14:57] <Yoshio> Hello guys! I have a ubuntu-server which I use for streaming music and stuff.. however when I try to transfer files to the server it's extremely slow
[14:57] <krimchou> or, how can i rebuild dependencys just in my /home/
[14:57] <rumpsy> hey arvind_khadri
[14:57] <Emanon> just install it justin grub will override a windows MBR and make ubuntu the default option on bootloader prompt
[14:57] <_atomic> Hi
[14:57] <arvind_khadri> rumpsy, hi L)
[14:57] <rumpsy> arvind_khadri: so , any prob?
[14:58] <Justin_`> Emanon, I put the CD into my CD drive, Booted from CDDRIVE and now it loaded into the OS without asking to install or anything :S Is this normal?
[14:58] <arvind_khadri> rumpsy, nah, why ?
[14:58] <Myrtti> Justin_`: it's the live session, where nothing on your harddrive is changed
[14:58] <Myrtti> Justin_`: you can install it from that session if you want
[14:58] <rumpsy> arvind_khadri: just to know!, nothing more than that, you are indian right?
[14:58] <rick__> can someone here help me out with mounting a WD my notebook?
[14:58] <Justin_`> Oh yeah
[14:58] <Justin_`> Now I see the Install icon :)
[14:58] <kubanc> is there any way to set how much desktop size  can program window have in gnome
[14:59] <arvind_khadri> rumpsy, yes
[14:59] <Emanon> Justin_`: did you walk away for a sec? usually ubuntu has a prompt asking if you want to install, boot from a hard disk perform a memory test etc
[14:59] <Justin_`> No. I have been here the whole time
[14:59] <rumpsy> How good i'm guess :o
[14:59] <novato_br> how can I get to start the ubuntu without gui mode?
[14:59] <novato_br> I'm using usb live
[14:59] <novato_br> please
[14:59] <Emanon> oh but the install finally popped up, problem solved
[15:00] <theadmin> novato_br: When it finished booting, try hitting Ctrl+Alt+F1
[15:00] <Justin_`> The Install Ubuntu 9.10 on the desktop has loaded up
[15:00] <novato_br> it doesn't work, theadmin
[15:00] <Emanon> should be on one of the F# listed at the bottom of the screen on boot novato_br
[15:00] <Emanon> the one all the way to the right has options for expert mode and such
[15:00] <Kartagis> !edubuntu
[15:01] <novato_br> i didn't get it, Emanon
[15:01] <rick__> can someone help me out mounting an external harddrive My Notebook?
[15:01] <novato_br> I want those options to initialize without gui
[15:01] <novato_br> how can I do that?
[15:01] <Emanon> !info edubuntu
[15:02] <novato_br> my geforce nvidia 7050 doesn't work properly
[15:02] <theadmin> !info edubuntu-desktop | Emanon
[15:02] <Justin_`> "Sorry, the program "jockey-gtk" closed unexpectedly"

[15:03] <Emanon> does anyone know of a good graphical config utility for grub in gnome?
[15:03] <mediaprodigy> Question: I use chatzilla for IRC in firefox. Does anyone recommend a better IRC solution or is browser based IRC the best solution?
[15:03] <novato_br> fuck
[15:03] <Yoshio> Hello guys! I have a ubuntu-server which I use for streaming music and stuff.. however when I try to transfer files to the server it's extremely slow
[15:03] <Emanon> something similar to kgrubeditor on kde
[15:03] <LjL> !language | novato_br
[15:04] <erUSUL> novato_br: boot into recovery mode ?
[15:04] <Emanon> mediaprodigy: i like the irc client in pidgin myself
[15:04] <theadmin> novato_br: Try removing the "gdm" file out of /etc/init.d, but back it up first.
[15:05] <arand> !tty | novato_br
[15:05] <mediaprodigy> Emanon: someone else recommended pidgin.. will take a look at it.
[15:05] <Justin_`> Dose it normally take along time for Ubuntu to load in 'live mode'?
[15:05] <arand> novato_br: switching to a tty and thewn stopping gdm might be an option?
[15:05] <Emanon> sometimes Justin_`
[15:05] <Yoshio> Justin_`: depends on your computer
[15:05] <theadmin> Justin_`: Well, all is depending on your CD drive speed.
[15:05] <Myrtti> Justin_`: depends mostly on the speed of your cd drive
[15:05] <Justin_`> I burnt it at the max
[15:05] <Myrtti> Justin_`: the reading speed
[15:05] <Justin_`> Doing another CD now at 4x
[15:06] <theadmin> Justin_`: THAT is a bad idea. Do it at slowest speed.
[15:06] <Emanon> i havent found that to be a problem Justin_` but sometimes it can be i hear
[15:06] <Justin_`> Ok, Ill try putting it into my other CD drive (faster)
[15:06] <novato_br> arand, I can't stop gdm
[15:06] <novato_br> when I try it shows message error
[15:07] <Emanon> http://sourceforge.net/projects/billix/ is kinda cool
[15:07] <mediaprodigy> Ubuntu: I am new to this OS but I must say the software download center is one of the coolest parts of Ubuntu!
[15:07] <novato_br> it doesn't wokr
[15:07] <arand> novato_br: what error?
[15:08] <Emanon> thanks mediaprodigy i prefer the full synaptic but media center is kinda cool
[15:08] <novato_br> gdm failed stopping command
[15:08] <theadmin> Meh, software center is kinda weird
[15:08] <Emanon> ubuntu-tweak isnt bad either
[15:08] <novato_br> something like that
[15:08] <Daisy_Diddle> hello
[15:08] <theadmin> Hi, Daisy_Diddle
[15:08] <Yoshio> I have massive problems running ubuntu on my AMD 3200+ with Geforce 6800GT. when i surf on the net I have massive lag on almost any site
[15:08] <mediaprodigy> Emanon: theadmin: do you recommend something better..
[15:08] <Emanon> hello Daisy_Diddle
[15:08] <Daisy_Diddle> I came her to ask for help with C++ #define
[15:08] <theadmin> mediaprodigy: Synaptic ^_^
[15:09] <mediaprodigy> theadmin: :) thanks
[15:09] <alberane>  /msg NickServ identify <password>
[15:09] <boomernang> Yoshio, what video card drivers do you have installed?
[15:09] <Emanon> i like synaptic mediaprodigy although ubuntu tweak's installation options are nice
[15:09] <alberane>  /msg NickServ identify 123456

[15:09] <LjL> !identify > alberane    (alberane, see the private message from ubottu)
[15:09] <jenda_> I have trouble connecting to the internet from one machine. Can anyone help me compare the ifconfig -a output of this machine (not working): http://pastebin.com/m58d1f2af and this one (working) http://pastebin.com/m35ce2420 ? The issue is unrelated to the OS, however, as the connection fails under Windows 7 as well. Is this likely a cable issue, or a NIC issue, or anything else? Both of those components are brand new, however.
[15:09] <Yoshio> boomernang: Nvidia 185 i belive
[15:10] <Daisy_Diddle> can anyone help me write definition like this: #define slot( v_name, ... ) ? with unknown count of parameters?
[15:10] <Yoshio> boomernang: it's really painfull to use
[15:10] <arand> Daisy_Diddle: I would suggest a C-dedicated channel, I think there is #c or #c++
[15:10] <theadmin> Daisy_Diddle: This looks like something C++ related... I'd say it's not exactly Ubuntu stuff
[15:11] <boomernang> Yoshio, what is the output of this command 'glxinfo | grep dir
[15:11] <Daisy_Diddle> well, ok :P I don't like u ^^
[15:11] <LjL> jenda_: dunno... but i must say i didn't know you could have something as interrupt number 251
[15:11] <Emanon> :-)
[15:11] <Yoshio> boomernang: direct rendering: Yes GL_EXT_direct_state_access, GL_EXT_draw_range_elements, GL_EXT_fog_coord
[15:11] <jenda_> LjL: and what does that mean? :)
[15:12] <mediaprodigy> Emanon: theadmin: I just realized that I think I am using Synaptic as I am running ubuntustudio
[15:12] <LjL> jenda_: i don't know :(
[15:12] <erUSUL> jenda_: RX packets:4422 errors:1579 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:1579 a lot of errors ?
[15:12] <boomernang> Yoshio, so what kind of lag do you experience on websites? is it bad when you scroll down fast?
[15:12] <theadmin> mediaprodigy: It should be under System -> Admininstration -> Synaptic Package Manager
[15:13] <Yoshio> boomernang: yeah and it's not only flash sites that are "slow"
[15:13] <erUSUL> jenda_: dunno whay again; what are the nic chip on the bad machine ? is same cable/router etc?
[15:13] <noellen> msg NickServ identify brucata87
[15:13] <LjL> !identify > noellen    (noellen, see the private message from ubottu)
[15:13] <jenda_> erUSUL: it's an NVidia nForce 10/100/1000 integrated, I think.
[15:13] <theadmin> noellen: You forgot the slash :/
[15:13] <mediaprodigy> Emanon: theadmin: Yes i have it .. but I must admit I do not know how to use it.. as I have been using add/remove applications and do not really understand the difference.. will have to do some reading on this.
[15:13] <jenda_> erUSUL: on an M4N82 ASUS motherboard.
[15:13] <Emanon> oh btw for all you 64 bit ubuntu (and derivitives) users youl like this http://vadi-blog.com/2009/02/26/howto-upgrade-alpha-version-of-64bit-flash-to-latest-version/
[15:14] <boomernang> Yoshio, glxinfo | grep "server glx vendor"?
[15:14] <Justin_`> be right back
[15:14] <Justin_`> rebooting laptop
[15:14] <Emanon> alot nicer than the 32 bit plugin through nsplugins
[15:14] <jenda_> erUSUL: otherwise, I just connected it with a cable that arrived today, and I think the problems were there even with the old cable (or, might have been different problems, lemme check that)
[15:15] <jenda_> the rest of the network is working for other machines.
[15:15] <jenda_> (switch, router etc.)
[15:15] <erUSUL> jenda_: well nforce nic are not know for stellar performance/reliability in linux but anyway really dunno what may be the problem would be nice if you could try a cheap pci nic card
[15:15] <root> ..
[15:15] <root> WHY？
[15:16] <Guest84258>  ？
[15:16] <noviceTux> scunizi i installed ubuntu-restricted-extras but i still have the same problem
[15:17] <Urda> ？<->? hehe cool
[15:17] <theadmin> noviceTux: What is the problem, actually? I missed it.
[15:17] <noviceTux> flash player
[15:17] <Yoshio> boomernang: server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
[15:17] <Pelo> noviceTux, what's your issue again ?
[15:17] <ymioll> hi
[15:17] <boomernang> Yoshio, have you restarted since you activated the nvidia drivers?
[15:17] <theadmin> noviceTux: You need to install "flashplugin-installer" package (Jaunty, Karmic) or "flashplugin-nonfree" (earlier releases)
[15:18] <boomernang> Yoshio, have you tried another browser?
[15:18] <Yoshio> boomernang: yes... I have had this problem for like 1 year :)
[15:18] <ymioll> is there a way to store everything i type in the command line interface in a text file?
[15:18] <Yoshio> boomernang: yes opera works much better than firefox
[15:18] <noviceTux> it's installed
[15:18] <intgr> Hi, the Ubuntu Server 9.10 base installation does not include a powernow-k8 kernel module; any ideas where I could find it?
[15:19] <boomernang> Yoshio, does flash lag in opera?
[15:19] <noviceTux> but i still have problem with reading flash videos
[15:19] <Yoshio> boomernang: abit but not nearly as much as in firefox
[15:19] <ouyes> hi i use gparted tool to make partitions on my usb external hd, but i can not creat or copy a file in the ext4 partition, the permission is root .how can i change it so that anybody can access to it freely
[15:19] <noviceTux> i wanted to download it from adobe site but when i open it with synaptic i got this message Erreur : Entre en conflit avec le paquet installé « flashplugin-installer »
[15:19] <cmp> hi every body , i want to disable the keyring lock
[15:19] <erUSUL> !addingfs | ouyes
[15:20] <ymioll> is there a way to store everything i type in the command line interface in a text file?
[15:20] <boomernang> Yoshio, what about on live cd - just to cancel out your hard drive as the problem... does it lag in live mode?
[15:20] <ouyes> does anybody know how to change the permission so that anyone can access that partition
[15:20] <jklabnsdfg> could someone please tell me how to restore the volume control (little symbol in the task bar) in 9.10? I have unfortunately deleted it :-(
[15:20] <Yoshio> boomernang: from what i remember the live cd did actually work much better
[15:20] <LjL> ymioll: the last 20 or so are stored automatically in the text file ~/.bash_history
[15:21] <ymioll> LjL, thank yoiu so much
[15:21] <cmp>  hi every body , i want to disable the keyring lock
[15:21] <Raverix> Hello
[15:21] <theadmin> ouyes: chmod 777 Filename
[15:21] <ouyes> erUSUL,  why this, it is ok for ntfs, i have full permission for the ntfs partition why not the ext4 partition. how to solve this issue?
[15:22] <joseLu> Olaa
[15:22] <Yoshio> boomernang: because now using firefox is almost unusable
[15:22] <cmp> hi every body , i want to disable the keyring lock
[15:22] <erUSUL> ouyes: the reason is in the factoid. ntfas is not native unix permissions are faked and as such can be faked to anything we want at mount time. not so for ext4
[15:22] <Raverix> I'm relatively new to Linux, and I'm trying to setup a VNC connection to my Ubuntu box. I've followed the instructions here: http://www.ehow.com/how_5089245_install-vnc-server-ubuntu.html, and have Chicken of the VNC client installed on my Mac.
[15:23] <boomernang> Yoshio, it's that bad? have you tried re-installing it?
[15:23] <Raverix> when I connect to the VNC server, all I get is a gray screen with an X Cursor.
[15:23] <Raverix> Any suggestions?
[15:23] <jenda_> erUSUL: it's similar under Windows 7 with official drivers, and it's the same with another cable ( http://pastebin.com/m48fbb9a8 )
[15:23] <arand> Yoshio: if you create a new profile using "firefox -P" does it make any difference?
[15:24] <LjL> jenda_: have you tried putting it in a different PCI slot by any chance?
[15:24] <cmp> hi every body , i want to disable the keyring lock
[15:24] <jenda_> LjL: I don't want to open the box
[15:25] <Tommy899> can someone help me, I have some files like this footer.php~ what are they?
[15:25] <candy> #kubuntu
[15:25] <theadmin> Tommy899: Backups left by editors
[15:25] <Yoshio> arand: nope
, hey
[15:25] <Tommy899> I can not delete them
[15:25] <Yoshio> boomernang: maybe there is something wrong with my harddrive since it's kinda old
[15:25] <cmp> candy, hi
[15:26] <phirestalker> does anyone know of a media player that is statically linked and will not use temp space or save history?
[15:26] <cmp> candy, can you tell me how to disable the keyring?
[15:27] <boomernang> Yoshio, i don't think it's that bad.. you just need to do the annoying work of trial and error.. you know opera works abit better..  so try another browser that is basically the same as firefox like konqueror or something
[15:28] <boomernang> Yoshio, and then you can work out what is going on...  did you upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10? or still on 9.04?
[15:28] <arand> Yoshio: Yes, I've experienced very sluggish FF if I keep the profile on a usb stick as opposed to on the HD, which makes a tremendous difference, so poor disk performance is definitely a possible cause. If that is the problem in question, no idea..
[15:28] <Stefan91> todor
[15:28] <hwilde> cmp, I don't think yo uwant to do that, but... sudo apt-get remove gnome-keyring       warning it will probably break stuff

[15:38] <mikeg3> I am having trouble installing Ubuntu 9.10.  I get a white pulsating ubuntu logo, then the monitor goes to sleep.  I am 99% sure that the reason for the failure is that I need the restricted nVidia drivers for my 6150se nforce 430, but how can I get the drivers if I can't see the screen?
[15:38] <arand> grubnoob: and 8.10 is still installed somewhere (although unable to boot at the moment)?
[15:38] <grubnoob> It only stopped working after I restore the root directory from backup.tgz

[15:41] <erUSUL> jenda_: well if it does not work in win7 you can certainly just retrun the Motherboard
[15:41] <llutz> aaronorosen2: java jdk
[15:41] <arand> grubnoob: it may be that the secondary stages of the bootloader has changed position on the disk, hence the mbr points to the wrong direction. These command will only overwrite the 466bytes of the mbr.
[15:41] <pirata> my name is paul
[15:41] <pirata> you
[15:42] <jenda_> erUSUL: would have to return the machine, as it was bought whole. I'll have to think about whether its worth it :D

[15:44] <mikeg3> I am having trouble installing Ubuntu 9.10.  I get a white pulsating ubuntu logo, then the monitor goes to sleep.  I am 99% sure that the reason for the failure is that I need the restricted nVidia drivers for my 6150se nforce 430, but how can I get the drivers if I can't see the screen?
[15:44] <grubnoob> arand: Thank you.  I will now reboot to see if that works.
[15:44] <arand> grubnoob: good luck!
[15:45] <jenda_> erUSUL: One more thing has come to mind. Do you know what ASUS Gate is? Does it mess with BIOS? It boots up before the OS itself, and I might have messed it up (always throws an error instead of booting).

[15:56] <werther933> system -- login screen
[15:57] <ymioll> what do you guys suggest me to learn? csh or sh?
[15:57] <KrisKo> woodyjlw: i would search for that in gconf-editor

[15:58] <danub> hey all. I just downloaded some login themes from the gnome art site. they are tar files. I extracted them but there is no installer or theme package file. How am I supposed to use these as my login themes?

[16:13] <mikeg3> Hi everyone.  I can't seem to install Ubuntu 9.1 to a separate partition on my Windows Vista box.
[16:13] <danub> oh well, back to KDE I guess
[16:13] <danub> exiit
[16:13] <grubnoob> Where would I find the stage1 and stage2 counterparts on the Live CD?
[16:14] <Audible> hmm, more 32bit libs should be added in lib32a
[16:14] <ymioll> how can i find a file in my computer?
[16:15] <ymioll> if i use `find` it does not find it
[16:15] <steffan> !locate | ymioll
[16:15] <llutz> ymioll: find /path/ -iname name
[16:15] <arand> grubnoob: I don't know, but to restore them the best way would probably be reinstalling grub.
[16:15] <jandro> Hi, I just got a lcd monitor that works fine via DVI once gdm starts but, what's the way to configure it for the tty's? cheers
[16:16] <grubnoob> arand: How do I do that?
[16:16] <ymioll> llutz, how do you tell it to search EVERYTHING?
[16:16] <llutz> ymioll: find /path/ -type f
[16:17] <llutz> ymioll:or a file called "everything"?  find /path/ -iname everything
[16:17] <arand> !grub | grubnoob
[16:17] <woodyjlw> KrisKo,  ahh that link you sent me might have fixed it for me I will reboot and see
[16:18] <RalphSpencer> Hi.. How to make ubuntu 9.10 visible on LAN?
[16:18] <llutz> RalphSpencer: connect lan-cable
[16:18] <Sargun> Ubuntu uses network-manager, right
[16:18] <RalphSpencer> I'm not that dumb
[16:19] <RalphSpencer> Sargun, yea
[16:19] <llutz> RalphSpencer: your question is
[16:20] <RalphSpencer> Well, when it had XP my IPMSG program would detect all other computers, now it wont.
[16:20] <JuJuBee> I cant get apache2 to start up automagically on reboot
[16:20] <ymioll> llutz, i don't know what the /path/ is
[16:20] <ymioll> i jsut want to search the whole computer
[16:20] <llutz> ymioll:or a file called "everything"?  find / -iname everything
[16:20] <ymioll> no no
[16:20] <ymioll> \not a file called everything
[16:20] <andrea_> ciao
[16:20] <ymioll> llutz, just search the whole computer
[16:20] <jellow> RalphSpencer: can you ping it from another host on your network?
[16:20] <llutz> ymioll: search for WHAT?
[16:21] <llutz> ymioll:sudo ls -lRa /             would show "everything"
[16:21] <ymioll> search for .login file
[16:21] <arand> grubnoob: first mount sda1 as /media/something , and then run the grub-install with --root-directory=/media/something and /dev/sda as the "mbr location"
[16:21] <llutz> ymioll: find / -name .login
[16:21] <RalphSpencer> i dont know ... this is a residential lan for sharing movies etc .. would have to call someone up at 3 AM ROFL
[16:22] <RalphSpencer> any other way?
[16:22] <jellow> RalphSpencer: anyone else connected tot eh network?
[16:22] <RalphSpencer> yea .. 30+ ppl
[16:23] <llutz> RalphSpencer: have you blocked ICMP?
[16:23] <afink> I'm having major trouble with the usb-creator program on 9.10.  The workaround for the dbus bug worked the first time but now it is no longer working.  Anyone got some tips?
[16:23] <RalphSpencer> ICMP?
[16:24] <RalphSpencer> what is ICMP ?
[16:25] <llutz> RalphSpencer:a protocol, but sorry, ipmsg seems to be something diffrent as i thought
[16:25] <RalphSpencer> shouldn't hurt trying to enable that anyway .. how to do that?
[16:25] <afink> RalphSpencer: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ICMP

[16:26]  * Sargun is seeing really bad speeds on his wireless stuff - I moved over from Gentoo
[16:26] <Sargun> any ideas what could cause a drop for 2 mbit to 200 kbitsec?
[16:26] <superpie> k so im looking for something that will put a web page on my desktop as a widget or something similar
[16:27] <om26er> Sargun, I think it not ubuntu problem rather you network?
[16:27] <jellow> Sargun: traffic shaping ?
[16:28] <FeiRuoWa> om26er, people near you also using the service
[16:28] <Sargun> om26er, I had gentoo installed on this laptop yesterday, I was getting speeds of about 2 mbit/sec reliably over the WiFi service.
[16:28] <iAmerikan> Sargun: are there any other computers on your network
[16:28] <woodyjlw> KrisKo,  it is strange. grub comes up with countdown to choose OS and num loc is on for that but soon as it chooses to go to ubuntu it kills num lock
[16:28] <Sargun> iAmerikan, None on the WiFi network
[16:29] <iAmerikan> what about the wired?
[16:29] <iAmerikan> Sargun: what about the wired?
[16:29] <Sargun> iAmerikan, the computer I'm talking to... and a few others. If my network was a one computer network, don't you think that would be kind of pointless?
[16:29] <woodyjlw> I turned num lock off in bios with same results
[16:29] <grubnoob> !grub
[16:30] <woodyjlw> its not a huge deal I will just get use to it
[16:30] <RalphSpencer> any program that can list all the computers on the network?
[16:31] <warriorforgod> RalphSpencer: You should be able to look on your router, or dhcp server to see all clients with active dhcp connections.  Otherwise you can use something like nmap.
[16:32] <KrisKo> woodyjlw: you've also edited /etc/gdm/Init/Default, and added those 3 line before exit 0?
[16:32] <maxjezy> hello, just installed ubuntu with wubi, anyone know how i make the channel sign?

[16:33] <bertiebaggio> whoops
[16:33] <bertiebaggio> wrong keyboard
[16:33] <bertiebaggio> sorry
[16:33] <JuJuBee> RalphSpencer: if you run nmap -v 192.168.1.0/24  or whatever your network ID is, it will show you all machines (that are on) and ports that are open
[16:34] <bertiebaggio> is it just me or is firestarter very tempermental at sharing an internet connection?
[16:34] <RalphSpencer> 10.1.1.0/255 is valid too, right?
[16:35] <superpie> no such widget? :(
[16:35] <RalphSpencer> JuJuBee, 10.1.1.0/255 is valid too, right?
[16:35] <JuJuBee> RalphSpencer: nmap -v 10.1.1.0/24  (if your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0)
[16:36] <KrisKo> woodyjlw: note: numlockx has to be installed on your system, try out in console: "numlockx on" "numlock off" > does it switch numlock on/off?
[16:36] <RalphSpencer> yea and how to set lan ip and subnet mask in ubuntu?
[16:36] <llutz> RalphSpencer: ifconfig
[16:36] <Masa> yes
[16:36] <KrisKo> woodyjlw: correction: "numlockx off"
[16:36] <hiexpo> morning eveyone
[16:36] <RalphSpencer> care to give the exact command
[16:37] <llutz> RalphSpencer: ifconfig <iface> <ip> netmask 255.255.x.y     depending on your setup
[16:37] <jellow> RalphSpencer: Are you trying to recive IPMSGS from a win box ?
[16:37] <RalphSpencer> am being too dumb but what is iface?
[16:37] <RalphSpencer> jellow, yes
[16:38] <jellow> RalphSpencer: IPMSGS is not compatible
[16:38] <llutz> RalphSpencer: you network-interface (wlan0, eth0, ethX, ppp0)
[16:38] <llutz> your
[16:39] <jellow> RalphSpencer: linux cannot use IPMSG , It not a network issue
[16:39] <Masa> Buenas!

[16:53] <MasBlaMan> cr0mulent: er its hard to say since new usb sticks dont say what chip there are using
[16:53] <maxjezy> if you got a netbook, make sure you got battery
[16:53] <Masa> yes
[16:53] <cr0mulent> MasBlaMan: is there a certain brand that works/
[16:53] <Myrtti> maxjezy: if you like your ubuntu enough to upgrade it, why don't you install it properly to the disk?
[16:53] <maxjezy> Myrtti, dont got a usb memory yet.
[16:54] <MasBlaMan> cr0mulent: some times even a revision of the same model changes the chip
[16:54] <Jeruvy> maxjezy: it should but given that upgrades can be troublesome normally, I'd either install it fresh using wubi or do a normal install (dual boot).
[16:54] <maxjezy> need to get me one, i on a netbook without cd
[16:54] <maxjezy> Jeruvy, wubi 9.10 is not working
[16:54] <ttye0> Does anyone know of something that will allow me to use my touchpad more like a tablet input system rather than a standard mouse?
[16:54] <maxjezy> bad meta link
[16:54] <Justin_`> Is there any way I can login to Ubuntu without the password (I forgot what i put in)
[16:54] <Oasa> kellopes : Ofcourse you have to be cautious. because at the end you might end up deleting the whole partition table
[16:55] <hiexpo> Myrtti, - no kidding i have noticed that most of the issues people have is due to installation /  good morning
[16:55] <Oasa> But you can always experiment with gparted. Untill you press APPLY no changes will be applied.
[16:55] <Masa> Yes, use Konboot
[16:55] <Jeruvy> maxjezy: ah well you could also wait until it's fixed or for lucid.  Is there something about jaunty that is requiring you to upgrade?
[16:55] <earthen> can some one help me? I've installed some updates and now my wireless no longer works
[16:55] <kellopes> oasa.. thanks.. i will try later.. i need to go for lunch now..
[16:55] <Justin_`> How do I use Konboot?
[16:55] <maxjezy> Jeruvy,  not really actually, just the network manager do
[16:55] <maxjezy> i need it
[16:55] <maxjezy> for mobile connection
[16:55] <Masa> Download konboot a booting de Cd
[16:56] <maxjezy> oh, no i just did see that 9.04 got it
[16:56] <Oasa> okay kellopes
[16:56] <warriorforgod> Justin_`: Just boot to it.  It only works on 32 bit systems thoug.
[16:56] <maxjezy> i did use 8.04 before
[16:56] <warriorforgod> *though
[16:57] <Jeruvy> maxjezy: well if you do upgrade, make sure you backup your disk (wubi install) first, and make sure you have enough free space.
[16:57] <Justin_`> I am running 32
[16:57] <MasBlaMan> maxjezy: what kind of "mobile" connect?
[16:57] <Justin_`> Kon-Boot Windows&Linux fine?
[16:57] <Oasa> !konboot | Oasa
[16:57] <Oasa> what is kon-boot ?
[16:57] <maxjezy> MasBlaMan, the usb network connection modem
[16:58] <Masa> http://www.megaviload.com/home/63-seguridad/2357-konboot-ingresa-a-cualquier-equipo-sin-la-pass
[16:58] <maxjezy> mobile broadband
[16:58] <MasBlaMan> maxjezy: you can use wvdial so you can change NM if you want
[16:59] <Masa> or    http://www.piotrbania.com/all/kon-boot/
[16:59] <maxjezy> MasBlaMan, i will test if this work later, if not i get wv dial

[17:02] <Raverix> Hello, I'm trying to connect to Ubuntu Server (8.04) from Mac. I have CotVNC as my client, and vnc4server xinetd (as my server) I can succesffully connect, but when I do, all I get is a gray screen, with a small terminal console in the top left corner, and a cursor. I have installed the ubuntu desktop already... suggestions?
[17:03] <JerrY_> irc://chat.freenode.net/postgis
[17:05] <mre1f> hey guys
[17:05] <Justin_`> Ok, I have booted in KonBoot and I have a white screen with a logo
[17:05] <mre1f> anyone here have a dual display?  I'm having some issues with full screen flash
[17:05] <Justin_`> Do I have to do anything else or what
[17:05] <panfist_> i initiated a command yesterday, and when i came back to my machine, it had powered off, i dont know why (power failure?) is there a way to tell if the command completed successfully?
[17:06] <hiexpo> what was the command
[17:06] <panfist_> dd
[17:06] <panfist_> dd of=/dev/zero if=/dev/sd*
[17:07] <afink> panfist_: are you trying the usb-creator workaround?
[17:07] <hiexpo> does the drive look right
[17:07] <panfist_> i have no idea what the usb-creator workaround is
[17:07] <panfist_> im trying to zero these drives because theyre going to go into a raid array
[17:08] <panfist_> and this way i can assume-clean on the array instead of resyncing when it's first started
[17:08] <darkmaster977> hi, i have a problem with my microphone in ubuntu
[17:08] <darkmaster977> is very quiet
[17:09] <darkmaster977> but all slider in alsamixer is on 100%
[17:09] <sayanriju> panfist_, looks like you just wiped your hard disk(s) clean!
[17:09] <panfist_> that was the goal
[17:09] <Emanon> looking for suggestions on usenet clients, prefer ones with good gnome integration
[17:09] <panfist_> i want to know if it finished
[17:09] <nici> !de
[17:09] <Justin_`> What is the default 'root' password
[17:09] <Slart> !root | Justin_`
[17:10] <Justin_`> I can't login to Ubuntu tho
[17:10] <Justin_`> Its on the login screen
[17:10] <sayanriju> panfist_, try booting it first
[17:10] <Justin_`> I can't remeber the password i set for my account
[17:10] <Slart> Justin_`: try starting the recovery mode
[17:10] <Justin_`> And how would I go about doing that
[17:10] <mre1f> Justin_`, you should have created a user account during the installation
[17:10] <panfist_> try booting what first?
[17:10] <sayanriju> panfist_, also you should try such stuff from a live environment, hope you did that
[17:10] <Emanon> yea go recovery then "sudo passwd your_user"
[17:10] <Justin_`> How do I get into recovery?
[17:10] <Slart> Justin_`: that is from the Grub menu.. there's is one normal kernel mode.. then there is the recovery mode.. from there you can do all kinds of things
[17:11] <Emanon> reboot and select it in the boot options
[17:11] <Xserver> is there a tool or software which can generate macs based on the OUI ?
[17:11] <Justin_`> ... Confused. I don't have any options...
[17:11] <Slart> Justin_`: you might have to press a key at startup if the grub menu doesn't show up.. don't remember which one it is though
[17:11] <panfist_> the actual command i did was specific to the raid drives, i just threw the wild card up because it was shorter than typing in the actual command, on 6 drives. i did not wipe my boot partition
[17:11] <mre1f> Justin_`, during boot before ubuntu starts to load you should see the grub loader
[17:11] <Xserver> F8 ?
[17:11] <yeason> I'm wondering if anyone has gotten windows 7 to read ext4 with one of the many drivers out there... I have one that 'works' in that it will mount the drive and I can see the root folders but they're all empty... any ideas?
[17:11] <panfist_> why cant you guys just answer the bleepin' question, how do i know if the command completed?
[17:12] <mre1f> Justin_`, it will count down for a few seconds before loading.. you should see a few options there.. use your cursor keys to select ubuntu xx recovery mode and press enter
[17:12] <Slart> panfist_: if there was an easy answer we would have told you
[17:12] <panfist_> or is it impossible to know
[17:12] <ymioll> how do i show the list of users connected in my .login script?
[17:12]  * panfist_ frowns
[17:12] <Justin_`> Dont see it :(
[17:12] <Slart> Justin_`: hang on.. let me get the info for you
[17:12] <mre1f> http://yogieza.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/grub-boot-loader.jpg <- should look like this
[17:13] <Slart> Justin_`: reboot and hold SHIFT
[17:13] <mogsog> Hello was wondering if the was a w32 program I could use to connect to my ubuntu machine
[17:13] <bastid_raZor> after running an aptitude safe-upgrade and all updates fine, what does this [-17] mean on this final line?  Current status: 0 updates [-17].
[17:13] <Justin_`> nope
[17:13] <mre1f> mogsog, putty for ssh access and tightvnc for a "remote desktop"
[17:13] <Justin_`> Ok, I got into a balck screen, (like command prompt)
[17:14] <Justin_`> What was that sudo command?
[17:14] <regergeg> do u know something like rapache but with bind configuration?
[17:14] <Emanon> Justin_`:  "sudo passwd your_user"
[17:14] <Slart> Justin_`: it should get you a menu that looks something like this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/wp-content/uploads/WUBI-Grub2.png
[17:14] <steffan> !sudo | Justin_`
[17:14] <Klear> when i run a script (./my_script), I get "Unable to execute, no such file or directory" -- but the file is right there
[17:14] <mogsog> mre1f: is tight vnc on linux or do I just use the client to connect to the built in linux remote desktop?
[17:14] <Klear> what could be the problem?
[17:14] <Justin_`> Authentication token manipulation error - password not changed
[17:15] <friday> does anyone know if theres another video player besides totem that has a "repeat mode"?
[17:15] <Myrtti> Justin_`: what are you trying to do?
[17:15] <Myrtti> Justin_`: change your own password?
[17:15] <Slart> friday: vlc
[17:15] <Justin_`> Yes
[17:15] <Justin_`> sudo passwd justin
[17:15] <Myrtti> Justin_`: you don't need sudo for that
[17:15] <friday> Slart: where?
[17:15] <Myrtti> Justin_`: just passwd justin
[17:15] <Slart> Justin_`: just    passwd <yourusername>    should do it.. you're already root when you boot like this
[17:15] <Emanon> oh yea cause recovery is root by default huh?
[17:15] <Emanon> sorry im a tard
[17:16] <Justin_`> still get the error
[17:16] <mogsog> got it thanks mre1f!
[17:16] <x7m> Is a new computer with windows 7 worth a $400.00 sale?
[17:16] <mre1f> :)
[17:16] <Emanon> friday: vlc is in your repository
[17:17] <friday> where in vlc is the repeat mode
[17:17] <Emanon> friday: in the playlist
[17:17] <Slart> x7m: is a car worth $50.000? depends on the car, right?
[17:17] <Emanon> x7m:  no computer with windows is worth $400
[17:17] <x7m> okay thanks.
[17:18] <Emanon> hehe
[17:18] <Justin_`> None of this is working
[17:18] <Emanon> sorry you forgot your password Justin_`
[17:18] <Slart> Justin_`: what isn't working? what kind of error do you get?
[17:18] <Justin_`> Ok this is what happned
[17:19] <pat|nG> where can i open iptables?
[17:19] <Justin_`> I was installing ubuntu, it asked for a username and password (user - justin) (pass - dont remeber). I am trying to reset/set a new password for the account - justin
[17:19] <friday> Emanon or slart is there another player that has repeat mode?
[17:19] <pat|nG> !iptable
[17:19] <Slart> friday: vlc
[17:19] <x7m> my OS is 8.4, How do I get the DVD player to work?
[17:19] <pat|nG> !iptables
[17:19] <friday> Slart: besides vlc
[17:19] <Slart> friday: or totem.. I suppose mplayer has it too.. it's a very common option
[17:20] <warriorforgod> Justin_`: You should be able to reboot into recovery mode, and then use passwd justin
[17:20] <Emanon> friday: vlc, totem, mplayer, dragon player
[17:20] <Justin_`> ill try rebooting, hangon
[17:20] <Justin_`> holding down shift yeah?
[17:20] <Slart> Justin_`: yes
[17:20] <Emanon> friday and about 50k more
[17:20] <Emanon> just go into synaptic and type "movie player"
[17:21] <Emanon> find one that you like
[17:21] <ymioll> why doesnt this work? echo "Current users on: `who -s`"
[17:21] <arghh2d2> i had windows working on virtualbox earlier today and it didnt take me long to ask myself "wtf am i doing?"  it's been so long without windows i forgot how ridiculous the whole experience is.  Thank GNU/Linux!! :)
[17:21] <happyface0> anyone here use irssi?
[17:21] <panfist_> yes
[17:21] <Myrtti> happyface0: plenty of people
[17:21] <warriorforgod> ymioll: Are you using this in a script?
[17:21] <warriorforgod> happyface0: yes
[17:21] <arghh2d2> happyface0: yeah
[17:21] <bastid_raZor> happyface0: there is an #irssi channel
[17:21] <gino>  milan90
[17:21] <happyface0> haha ok
[17:22] <ymioll> warriorforgod, yea
[17:22] <arghh2d2> irssi ftw
[17:22] <gino> lista!
[17:22] <warriorforgod> ymioll: Try asking your question in #bash
[17:22] <happyface0> well a quick question - how do I view events (like when my nick is shown) awhile after they happen?
[17:22] <happyface0> is there a way
[17:22] <panfist_> pg up
[17:22] <gino> ciao a tutti
[17:22] <Justin_`> Ok, I got into the boot menu but I am unable to use my keyboard to arrows down
[17:22] <gino> !lista
[17:22] <hajmola> sensors says "Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.", any ideas?
[17:22] <Slart> happyface0: try writing   /lastlog <something_to_search_for>
[17:23] <punto> how do I find out what's using my memory? I just killed everything, and top says there's like 700mb in use (plus 200 swapped)
[17:23] <Slart> happyface0: in this case...    /lastlog happyface    would show all lines with your nick in it
[17:23] <bahamas> guys, is there something i have to set/change in ubuntu, to be able to see my linux partitions from windows?
[17:23] <Oasa> bahamas : Lool
[17:23] <happyface0> thanks Slart that will be useful
[17:23] <macman_> anyone had luck ripping Gi_joe_rise of cobra
[17:23] <Slart> Justin_`: hmm.. do you have a weird keyboard of some kind ? wireless?
[17:23] <scott_ino2> hello, does anyone know how i can mount a hard drive pulled from a recent ubuntu machine (it normally mounts it automatically, however I'm having problems I think because of the encryption)
[17:23] <bahamas> Oasa: hi :)
[17:23] <Emanon> bahamas: by default windows can't see ext filesystems
[17:23] <Myrtti> !ext3 | bahamas
[17:23] <Justin_`> Belkin, Wired, connected via a USB
[17:23] <Slart> happyface0: you can type   /lastlog -clear    to remove the search results
[17:24] <Emanon> isnt ext4 default on karmic?
[17:24] <scott_ino2> Emanon, yes
[17:24] <Slart> Emanon: I think so
[17:24] <Justin_`> I can get a adapter to change it to the circle port (don't know name)
[17:24] <Oasa> bahamas ; you can use it to write also. SO please dont use that.
[17:25] <Slart> Justin_`: that shouldn't be necessary... so arrow keys doesn't work.. hang on.. you're running the latest ubuntu, right? 9.10?
[17:25] <Emanon> Justin_`: the round keyboard and mouse plugs are Ps/2
[17:25] <warriorforgod> Justin_`: The cirle port is called a PS2 port, or if it is older style it is DIN.
[17:25] <Justin_`> Yes 9.10
[17:25] <Slart> Justin_`: the first line is selected, right?
[17:25] <Justin_`> Yes
[17:26] <Slart> Justin_`: what happens if you press 'E'
[17:26] <Justin_`> Nothing
[17:26] <Slart> !pm | happyface0
[17:26] <hajmola> sensors says "No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need." Anyone know how I get the kernel drivers I need?
[17:27] <Slart> Justin_`: <enter> doesn't work either?
[17:27] <scott_ino2> hajmola, run "sensors-detect"
[17:27] <hajmola> scott_ino2, I did
[17:27] <Justin_`> No.
[17:27] <Justin_`> Nothing works
[17:27] <happyface0> Slart: to block chanserv windows telling me that I've logged in, which autocreate do I set?
[17:27] <Slart> happyface0: I have no idea
[17:27] <bahamas> Myrtti: i have ext2 1.11a installed on my system, but i still can't enter my linux partitions. i get a prompt saying that the disk is not formatted
[17:28] <scott_ino2> hajmola, certain types of sensors aren't supported yet, you sure you'rs is? I have this problem now where i have a newer k9n board and they haven't written drivers for them
[17:29] <Myrtti> bahamas: is the filesystem in your linux ext4 or ext3?
[17:29] <Justin_`> Slart, I connected it via a PS2 port and I can now select
[17:29] <hajmola> scott_ino2, It worked back on Intrepid. Sensors-detect says coretemp
[17:29] <Justin_`> Ok, its booting in recovery mode
[17:29] <bahamas> Myrtti: ext3
[17:29] <Slart> Justin_`: oh.. great!  I was googling and I think I found some other ways.. but nevermind
[17:29] <Justin_`> Now i have a Recovery menu.
[17:29] <Slart> Justin_`: you should end up at a menu with some options
[17:30] <Slart> Justin_`: pick the one that is marked "Drop to root shell prompt"
[17:30] <Justin_`> Done, Now I have a black line at the bottom of my screen
[17:30] <Justin_`> root@justin-desktop:~#
[17:30] <Slart> Justin_`: ok.. what is your username on this machine?
[17:30] <Justin_`> justin
[17:31] <Slart> Justin_`: then you write      passwd justin
[17:31] <Justin_`> Woo, Password updated
[17:31] <Justin_`> Now just powerdown at the button?
[17:31] <scott_ino2> hajmola, hmm odd, sorry i can't be of more help
[17:31] <Slart> Justin_`: ok.. then type    reboot
[17:31] <Justin_`> or that
[17:32] <DuCkNeT> grr....
[17:32] <DuCkNeT> compiz not working
[17:33] <Slart> Justin_`: apparently your keyboard might work better if you find and enable an option called  "Legacy USB support" in your BIOS
[17:33] <hajmola> scott_ino2, thanks anyways
[17:33] <Justin_`> Slart, Now that boot menu is up, (I didn't push anything)
[17:33] <w3l54666> how do i ping an ip???
[17:33] <Slart> Justin_`: just select the top choice
[17:34] <Slart> w3l54666: ping 111.222.333.444
[17:34] <bahamas> Myrtti: i found my explanation: The volume has an Ext2/Ext3 file system, but the Ext2 IFS 1.11 software did not
[17:34] <bahamas> mount it because the file system has an inode size unequal to 128 bytes (inode
[17:34] <bahamas> size: 256 bytes).
[17:34] <bahamas> The only way to solve it is to back up the volume's files and format the file
[17:34] <bahamas> system: give the mkfs.ext3 utility the -I 128 switch. Finally, restore all
[17:34] <FloodBot2> bahamas: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:34] <bahamas> backed-up files.
[17:34] <Justin_`> Slart, I will have a look at it next reboot
[17:34] <w3l54666> Slart: ok ty
[17:34] <Slart> Justin_`: you're welcome

[17:37] <scott_ino2> agroker, np
[17:37] <callum_> Thanks scott!
[17:37] <callum_> <3
[17:37] <arand> callum_: That normally takes fairly long (if it's the free shipit CD)
[17:37] <cinex> will ubuntu provide a better performance or xubuntu even
[17:37] <cinex> i have a pc with 860mhz cpu and 360 mb of ram. it has xp pro service pack 3 (and runs suprisingly). its a comunial pc used for people in the community to read email, write cvs etc.
[17:37] <Klear> Slart, yes I am copy/pasting the file name
[17:37] <PDG1> trying to create a share between my living room comp and my room comp but now when i select Network out of the menu it shows Windows Network but then says "Unable to mount. Failed to retrieve share list from server" any ideas?
[17:37] <rek> fdisk maybe
[17:38] <Klear> does Ubuntu use a different way to run programs than other Linux distros?
[17:38] <Slart> cinex: xubuntu is a little bit lighter.. so it might leave more processing power/memory to your apps
[17:38] <Justin_`> How come my Wireless internet wont connect?
[17:38] <Slart> Klear: nope.. is the file marked as executable?
[17:38] <Klear> Slart, yes, it is chmoded to 755
[17:38] <scott_ino2> cinex, I would suggest trying xubuntu, definitely not ubuntu gnome/kde, otherwise look into a different "unsupported" ubuntu based distro such as crunchbang
[17:38] <blakkheim> xubuntu is still very bloated
[17:38] <scott_ino2> crunchbang works wel
[17:38] <blakkheim> i would recommend not using xubuntu or crunchbang, but using a lighter distro with a minimal cli install
[17:38] <Klear> am I using the right syntax?
[17:39] <Justin_`> How come my Wireless internet wont connect?
[17:39] <Slart> Klear: what is the first line in your script?
[17:39] <GeminiDomino> Ubuntu 8.04 Server:   After installing postgresql (8.3), the database server will not start. No log file is created and apparently /etc/postgresql was not created on installation. I removed all postgresql* packages and reinstalled, but the problem persists. Any ideas?
[17:39] <cinex> scott_ino2: ill look up scrunchbag now
[17:39] <Klear> Slart, seems to be encoded
[17:39] <blakkheim> cinex: see my previous message
[17:39] <blakkheim> Justin_`: what wireless card is it
[17:39] <PDG1> Justin_`: wont connect... like wont connect at all
[17:39] <Justin_`> Netgear
[17:39] <Slart> Klear: og.. it isn't a script? it's a binary?
[17:40] <Justin_`> It wont connect at all
[17:40] <cinex> blakkheim: ya, erm.
[17:40] <scott_ino2> Cinex, I use it for all of the old machines I give away 633mhz or less and it runs nicely.
[17:40] <Justin_`> I am broadcasting my SSID - 'FML'
[17:40] <Klear> Slart, seems like it... how would I run that?
[17:40] <cinex> It needs to be easily used by not so smart people, the hamilton library (ontario) has linux installed, its nice but i dont know what version
[17:40] <wildc4rd> evening all
[17:40] <Justin_`> I have added it into the Network connections under Wireless internet
[17:40] <Myrtti> please bear in mind that Crunchbang is not supported on this channel at all.
[17:40] <blakkheim> cinex: so you can set it up
[17:40] <happyface0> Justin_`: one of my SSIDs is Porkchop Sandwiches
[17:40] <Myrtti> so if you end up using it, the support isn't here
[17:41] <Slart> Klear: hmm.. can you do a ls -l in the folder where this file is located and pastebin the results?
[17:41] <actionparsnip> Yo yo yo
[17:41] <Slart> Klear: also the output from       file <yourfilename>
[17:41] <Slart> !pastebin | Klear
[17:43] <cinex> blakkheim: I can set up linux in my sleep :P
[17:43] <Justin_`> Any help about my wireless internet?
[17:44] <blakkheim> cinex: ok
[17:44] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: wassup?
[17:44] <Myrtti> cinex: if you feel comfortable with the old ncursesbased debinstaller, I'd get the mini.iso and build the os from the netinstall
[17:44] <Myrtti> cinex: if you really want to decide app by app what goes in and to gauge the speed of them
[17:45] <Justin_`> Ok, I have a Netgear wg111v2 wireless network card installed in my desktop
[17:45] <Justin_`> But i am unable to get it to work :S
[17:45] <earthen> cinex since you can setup linux in your sleep maybe you can help me out?
[17:45] <cinex> Myrtti: I have the problem of them being to impatiant for me to exeriment on their machine. which is Why I thought ubuntu would be good. its done in like 1 hour
[17:45] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: the make and model is fairly moot. Run: sudo lshw -C network
[17:46] <Justin_`> Ok actionparsnip
[17:46] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: you will see the chip it uses. Netgear don't make chips so knowing your brand gets you nothing
[17:47] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: read the product line and use it in websearches to find guides
[17:47] <Justin_`> actionparsnip, What did you need to know about that 'sudo lshw -C network'?
[17:48] <Myrtti> Justin_`: if you know how to use pastebins, you can put it there
[17:48] <Myrtti> !pastebin | Justin_`
[17:48] <oldmes> hi all
[17:48] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: none. Its for you. Use the product line in the wireless section and you will find guides
[17:48] <Justin_`> How can I use pastebin if I dont have internet access on it
[17:48] <oldmes> i need some help
[17:49] <Myrtti> Justin_`: oh, right... too late for my brain ;-)
[17:49] <Justin_`> actionparsnip, There is no 'product line'
[17:49] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: websearch on an internet accessing system
[17:49] <Justin_`> I see it nvm
[17:49] <hwilde> actionparsnip, it's a realtek chipset fyi
[17:49] <hwilde> RTL8187B
[17:50] <earthen> can anyone help me with a wireless problem I'm have after doing the latest updates
[17:50] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: sudo lshw -C network | grep -i product
[17:50] <DAMEXICO_> l
[17:50] <capon> hi all, how do I connect 2 ubuntu computers using ethernet cable?
[17:50] <apparle> Why is the package 'eagle' in the repositories not the latest version
[17:50] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: the line will say realtek then, websearch for that
[17:50] <oldmes> How i can provide IP addresses in dotted decimal or host/network names ?
[17:50] <apparle> !eagle
[17:50] <actionparsnip> Capon: you need a crossover cable
[17:50] <apparle> !info eagle
[17:51] <cinex> apparle: probably something to do with gcc or the kernel or some dependacie
[17:51] <actionparsnip> Capon: and you will need to define IP addresses manually
[17:51] <hwilde> Justin_`, the netgear wg111 uses the realtek rtl8187b chipset.  there are plenty of online guides to get it working https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/NetgearWG111
[17:51] <Justin_`> 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless
[17:51] <hwilde> oldmes, ifconfig
[17:51] <cognitiaclaeves> Trying to install the latest version of rapidsvn ( in order to solve an issue with it not being able to check out a path with windows-encoded characters in it -- or something like that ) -- makes, makes installs, and then when run: rapidsvn: error while loading shared libraries: libsvncpp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory .. hoping someone knows about this.. can't find anything on it.
[17:51] <actionparsnip> Justin_`: there you go. Find that
[17:51] <apparle> cinex: the current verision is 5.7 but repos have 5.4.............and the site provides binaries in the form of run files
[17:51] <capon> actionparsnip, istn't is possible to connect them with a normal ethernet cable?
[17:52] <alabd> what's the problem  http://pastebin.com/m7c286d3f ? after using this script https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/scripts/ipkg-make-index.sh
[17:52] <hwilde> apparle, the repos usually ahve the last stable version.  it might be a little behind
[17:52] <actionparsnip> Capon: it won't work with a patch cable as the transmittor will be connected to the transmittor of the other
[17:52] <cinex> apparle: so install the .deb
[17:52] <Justin_`> Ill install it tomorrow, don't have the CD with me and it is almost 5am
[17:52] <actionparsnip> Capon: which is why its called a crossover
[17:52] <capon> actionparsnip, thanks ;)
[17:53] <apparle> hwilde: the one I am talking about is stable and has been released in july 2009
[17:53] <actionparsnip> Capon: a 'normal' cable doesn't exist
[17:53] <Justin_`> Thanks for your help
[17:53] <PDG1> Still lost on why it says I cant mount a windows sahre
[17:53] <actionparsnip> Capon: there are 2 types, patch and crossover
[17:53] <apparle> cinex: they provide run file and not the deb file...
[17:53] <oldmes> How i can provide IP addresses in dotted decimal or host/network names ?still having problems
[17:53] <capon> actionparsnip, how do i know that mine is a patch or crossover cable?
[17:53] <actionparsnip> Capon: some NICs can autonegotiate but most don't
[17:54] <hwilde> oldmes, what do you mean provide?  what language do you speak
[17:54] <PDG1> anyone well informed with Samba?
[17:54] <cognitiaclaeves> Does libsvncpp.so.3 even exist for Ubuntu?
[17:54] <hwilde> capon, you can do adhoc wireless maybe
[17:54] <hwilde> cognitiaclaeves, apt-file search libsvncpp.so
[17:54] <actionparsnip> Capon: look at the little wires in the head. If they are identical its patch and won't work in a p2p lan. If they are different its a crossover
[17:54] <tham1> What is the key combination in ubuntu that corresponds with the Ctrl+Alt+Del in windows?
[17:54] <Oasa> can some one here please tell me how to connect via VPN :S ?
[17:55] <maco> !sysrq | tham1
[17:55] <cognitiaclaeves> hwilde: Thanks... I was trying to remember that command...
[17:55] <actionparsnip> Tham: to bring up task manager etc?
[17:55] <capon> actionparsnip, they are identical XD
[17:55] <pawel__> What is the package name for cpan?
[17:55] <cinex> tham1: cntrl+alt+del during text mode/boot and cntrl+alt+backspace will kill the Xserver
[17:55] <maco> printscreen?? what??
[17:55] <capon> hwilde, what do you mean?
[17:55] <hwilde> capon, to connect the two computers without a cable, if they both have wifi
[17:55] <danbhfive> maco: for many people, sysrq = printscreen I think
[17:56] <actionparsnip> Capon: won't work in a p2p then. That is used to connect a system to an interconnection device like a switch
[17:56] <tham1> maco: it brings up the Save Screenshot dialog
[17:56] <hwilde> pawel__, aptitude search cpan
[17:56] <maco> tham1: because the factoid is wrong. its alt+sysrq
[17:56] <slartsa> Hello, could someone help me out with wlan issue? I'm having Telewell TW-WLAN USB receiver (with RT2870 chip) and Ubuntu 8.04 which cannot find any wireless networks
[17:56] <maco> danbhfive: sysrq is on del for me
[17:56] <capon> hwilde, can you explain plz
[17:56] <maco> tham1: you may need to hold Fn if it's a laptop
[17:56] <tham1> ubottu: thanks!
[17:56] <hwilde> capon, do the two computers you are trying to connect both have wireless?
[17:56] <capon> hwilde, yes
[17:56] <danbhfive> maco: hmm, yeah that should probably be changed
[17:56] <actionparsnip> Slartsa: have you tried the realtek site for drivers or search for guides on the chip?
[17:57] <tham1> cinex: ctrl+alt+backspace does nothing
[17:57] <hwilde> capon, ok so you can create an "adhoc" network between the two over wireless.  try this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html
[17:57] <slartsa> actionparsnip:  I couldn't find any guides from the manual
[17:57] <capon> hwilde, thanks
[17:57] <hwilde> tham1, ctrl+alt+delete man
[17:58] <tham1> maco: yeah, i did, may be some fault with the keyboard :S
[17:58] <pawel__> hwilde,  I don't see it.
[17:58] <maco> tham1: yeah ctrl+alt+backspace is disabled by default for 2 releases now
[17:58] <tham1> hwilde: okay, thanks!
[17:58] <actionparsnip> Slartsa: try online: http://www.apfelkraut.org/2009/02/howto-wlan-ralink-rt2870-usb-stick-kubuntu-810/
[17:58] <hwilde> pawel__, libcpan... look
[17:58] <actionparsnip> Slartsa: will work on any release as you are compiling the driver
[17:59] <actionparsnip> Slartsa: you will need to compile the driver again if you change to a new kernel.
[17:59] <Raverix> Hello, I'm trying to connect to Ubuntu Server (8.04) from Mac. I have CotVNC as my client, and vnc4server xinetd (as my server) I can succesffully connect, but when I do, all I get is a gray screen, with a small terminal console in the top left corner, and a cursor. I have installed the ubuntu desktop already... suggestions?
[17:59] <cognitiaclaeves> hwilde: There is no libsvncpp.so.3. ... So how do I get it installed?
[17:59] <ZykoticK9> tham1, if your using 9.10 (karmic) then ctrl+alt+backspace has been replaced with alt+sysrq+k to kill Xorg
[17:59] <pawel__> hwilde, hwilde: libcpan-plus-perl?
[18:00] <slartsa> err.. I've never compiled anything... :/
[18:00] <tham1> got it! thanks!
[18:00] <hwilde> pawel__, you're asking me what you are looking for ?
[18:00] <pawel__> hwilde, I want to update cpan shell, not cpan library
[18:01] <hwilde> pawel__,  http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/HowToInstallCpanModules
[18:01] <PDG1> is smb.conf the only configuration file needed for Samba? I'm going to try and start over but i want to know if smb.conf is the only thing I need to replace with originals
[18:01] <slartsa> actionparsnip:  I've tried some directions that told me to add my chip to a blacklist, I've tried that

[18:05] <cognitiaclaeves> hwilde: Ok.  It's not there.  Am I just sol with being able to install the latest rapidsvn?  What working SVN GUI does Jaunty have?
[18:06] <skot> I'm looking for a little help with a failed soft-raid array (ubuntu-9.10 -2.6.31-17 kernel- raid5 5-disks). I got a replacement drive but on adding the new one, another drive is failing during the sync. It only gets about 55% done, and then fails.
[18:07] <kristi> hi
[18:08] <Oasa> !ask | kristi
[18:08] <hwilde> cognitiaclaeves, nah just symbolic link the one you get to .so.3

[18:08] <_empty> Anybody uses Vaio P notebook? Iam trying to get the graphic to work, intel GMA 500.. any suggestions? I have tried ./poulsbo.sh script, without result. :(
[18:09] <arand> Oasa: preemptive, borderline rude :/
[18:09] <cognitiaclaeves> hwilde: Ok.  Looks like it opens now.  ( Here's hoping the problem wasn't solved in .so.3 )
[18:10] <Oasa> arand : what ?
[18:12] <friday> could anyone tell me how to use xine as a stand alone player?
[18:14] <arand> Oasa: The !ask factoid may be interpreted as "ask or get out" especiall is it's the first thing one hears after joining and saying "hi", just mentioning that it may be interpreted as rude.
[18:14] <phox_> Hi! I want my comp to, at boot, performs to command. First the unmount an external harddrive, then mount it in a special way. How can i add this to autostart? I alreave the commands. In startup applications, can i just add two differents command following themself?

[18:29] <ghabit> friday: right click on video file.
[18:29] <BigDaddyCool> Hello, I have an EeePC 1101HA. The keys for LCD brightness are not working. Brightness adjustment via gnome applet works. Is there an easy way to add it via System->Preferences->Keyboard?

[18:35] <Trek> *shivers*  Tatsuya6400: why do you want ANYTHING remotely like Windows...
[18:35] <renfox> i think that crunchbang (which is based on debian => ubuntu) is pretty lightweight.
[18:35] <lavin> how do i move round my system in terminal can some one give me a few commands to try please
[18:35] <actionparsnip> Phox_: add a line in /etc/fstab to mount it properly first time
[18:36] <theadmin> renfix: He's asking for a VERSION of Ubuntu, not some Ubuntu respin
[18:36] <Welshy-Rob> Tatsuya6400,  I have a little button at the bottom right of my screen, you can add it by right clicking on your panel and selecting "add to panel"  then select trash = )
[18:36] <Tatsuya6400> cuz its harder to drag stuff to the little trash on the bar
[18:36] <cyqotiq> Tatsuya6400: You can either create a link to ~/.local/share/Trash or there's a nifty piece of software called UbuntuTweak that will add it for you (along with other things to help mess up your system).
[18:36] <lavin> i want to get in downloads
[18:36] <Oasa> lavin: what do you actually want to do ?
[18:36] <grawity> lavin: 'cd somedirectory' to go to somedirectory. 'ls' and 'ls -l' to list files. ('ls -a' and 'ls -la' show hidden ones too.)
[18:36] <Tatsuya6400> thx
[18:36] <paulus68> theadmin: the reason I ask is because the current ubuntu version on my laptop tents to make my cpu fan go grazy. so in your opinion xubuntu is better to avoid heavy cpu usage?
[18:36] <phox_> actionparsnip: Okey! It is a NTFS drive..
[18:36] <theadmin> paulus68: Yeah, Xubuntu is lighter
[18:37] <theadmin> Any difference between "ls" and "dir" at all?
[18:37] <actionparsnip> Lavin: use 'cd' to enter a directory. And 'cd ..' to move up a directory
[18:37] <Welshy-Rob> theadmin,  ls shows executables in colour and dir simply list folders
[18:38] <Welshy-Rob> files *
[18:38] <actionparsnip> Lavin: then type cd $HOME/Downloads
[18:38] <grawity> Welshy-Rob: dir supports colours t oo.
[18:38] <cyqotiq> theadmin: and 'dir' is 1 letter longer than 'ls'
[18:38] <cyqotiq> :)
[18:38] <actionparsnip> Phox_: doesn't matter. And its an ntfs partition
[18:38] <theadmin> actionparsnip: What's that "$HOME"? Isn't it "~"?
[18:38] <grawity> theadmin: 'dir' is equivalent to 'ls -Cb'
[18:38] <actionparsnip> Theadmin: same thing
[18:38] <Tatsuya6400> the link to trash doesnt work like actually dragging something to trash, and yes, im a 3 day old convert to linux from windows :P
[18:38] <Oasa> yah ~ is home directory
[18:39] <mlhoss> can i network my pc to my wireless laptop to have total laptop control from the pc?
[18:39] <actionparsnip> Theadmin: this keyboard doesn't have a tilde key
[18:39] <grawity> theadmin: Almost all the time, the shell expands both ~ and $HOME to the same home directory.
[18:39] <lavin> i try that and it says no file or directory i go and try again
[18:39] <Tatsuya6400> meh, im just gonna get used to where the trash is on the title bar
[18:39] <grawity> (The differences are that $HOME is a shell variable, changeable, and value of ~ is taken from /etc/passwd, same for ~anyuser)
[18:39] <phox_> actionparsnip: will this work after i reboot or directly?
[18:39] <actionparsnip> Mlhoss: sure, just enable the sharing of the desktop. Most apps have webuis now which are much sleeker
[18:40] <mlhoss> right click... move to trash... in kubuntu, anyway
[18:40] <theadmin> mlhoss: Same in Ubuntu.
[18:40] <cyqotiq> Tatsuya6400: Don't worry about the "Windows flashback" thing.  You're going to get hazed from both camps from time to time.  Water off a duck's back.  You can use UbuntuTweak to show desktop icons for Trash, Documents, and even a "My Computer" type icon that launches nautilus.
[18:40] <actionparsnip> Phox_: you can unmount it then run: sudo mount -a
[18:40] <lavin> actionparsnip: i type cd /home that works
[18:40] <lavin> actionparsnip:  cd /Downloads from there no such F/D
[18:40] <actionparsnip> Lavin: yes now you need to cd to your username where the downloads folder is, use tab to autocomplete
[18:41] <Tatsuya6400> im having trouble syncing 3rd generation ipod nano's, is there anything i can do?
[18:41] <grawity> lavin: First, $HOME is not /home. It is /home/lavin. (Assuming your Ubuntu username is 'lavin'.)
[18:41] <actionparsnip> Lavin: cd /home/$USER/Downloads
[18:41] <Pici> !case
[18:41] <actionparsnip> !ipod | Tatsuya6400
[18:42] <cyqotiq> !RockBox
[18:42] <syockit> lavin: from /home, you have to cd Downloads . if you put in the leading /, it'll start from top again
[18:42] <phox_> actionparsnip: didnt work, got an error. Bad line. Here is what i wrote in fstab: "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /home/johan/Desktop/NTFS -o uid=johan,gid=users,umask=0000"
[18:42] <lavin> actionparsnip:  i got it thanks now if i want to get into a file i go cd / file name?
[18:42] <Oasa> !case
[18:42] <Speed9> hay i had tryd to instal Ubuntu and XUbuntu but i have Error 5 In/ex-put
[18:43] <actionparsnip> Phox_: you need to rearrange the command to fit fstab, look at the other lines and online guides
[18:43] <mlhoss> thanks... and sorry about the "flashback" thing. I have two drives, one with windows and one with linux. seldom do i use the windows anymore.
[18:43] <actionparsnip> Lavin: without the / yes. E.g. cd foldername
[18:43] <yaaar> hey, does anybody know how to make epiphany stop remembering my google talk password? I've gone into accounts and deleted it, but when i go back it's there again. i don't see any 'remember password' checkbox or antyhing....
[18:44] <yaaar> er...woops. not epiphany....empathy
[18:44] <actionparsnip> Speed9: did you verify the CD and ISO you downloaded?
[18:44] <chiiiiiz> hello
[18:44] <theadmin> yaaar: Try going to "Passwords and encryption keys" and removing it out of there
[18:44] <misreckoning> is "AMD64" image working on Intel's i7 processors? thanks!

[18:45] <Tatsuya6400> ok, got another problem, im having trouble wakeing my laptop from suspend, and the link in Help and Support is broken
[18:45] <yaaar> theadmin: hmm...where is that? i don't see it in empathy's settings, or in gnome's system->preferences
[18:46] <Speed9> 1st Time Ubuntu : did very slow,but stil it work then i install Xununtu and then comes error so i witch back to Ubuntu and now it says too : Error 5
[18:46] <theadmin> yaaar: Uh... should be... just try launching "seahorse" from terminal
[18:46] <lavin> actionparsnip: yes , i very new to linux (computinf altogether) but now i getting a bit better im glad i swapped over i'll never go back to windows
[18:47] <hiexpo> lavin, - do lot's of reading
[18:47] <mlhoss> I use the windows drive for storage from my linux drive!
[18:47] <lavin> actionparsnip:  i bin n fetched a unix book from libary (only one they had but it will give me basics ihope
[18:48] <haseebh2O> My laptop is Acer 6935G with graphics card 9600M GT now everything was abit laggish so i thought to updating the drivers, now after updating and restarting all i see is the wallpaper and the taskbar.there are no icons
[18:48] <haseebh2O> its ubuntu 9.10
[18:48] <Tatsuya6400> ok, got another problem, im having trouble wakeing my laptop from suspend, and the link to help me fix it in Help and Support is broken
[18:48] <hiexpo> go to isuhunt there are many there
[18:48] <haseebh2O> any idea how to fix it ?
[18:48] <yaaar> theadmin: ok, that worked. but now the account in empathy just doesn't work...just says "network error" and prompts me to edit the account and put the password back in. used to be (with pidgin) it would just ask for the password when i opened it, which is what i want
[18:48] <Welshy-Rob> lavin,  i was the same , but you pick it up quickly , its much easier to learn than windows in my opinion and there is a great community xD
[18:48] <theadmin> Sometimes after I log in, my desktop is all orange and is unclickable, has no icons too. What can be the problem?
[18:48] <haseebh2O> same here
[18:49] <haseebh2O> its clickable
[18:49] <haseebh2O> but no icons
[18:49] <haseebh2O> only the taskbar
[18:49] <FloodBot2> haseebh2O: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:49] <theadmin> yaaar: Well, you probably should switch back to Pidgin, it's actually better.
[18:49] <Welshy-Rob> haseebh2O,  have you checked that "visual effects" are enabled?
[18:49] <haseebh2O> i cant
[18:49] <haseebh2O> no icons Welshy-Rob
[18:49] <hiexpo> yes pidgin is the best
[18:49] <haseebh2O> im new to this Welshy-Rob ,sorry :(
[18:49] <Oasa> pidgin rocks :D
[18:49] <yaaar> theadmin: so if pidgin is better why did ubuntu switch to empathy?
[18:50] <hiexpo> i have all my messnagers on it
[18:50] <Oasa> yaar : to support video
[18:50] <Oasa> I know 2.6.4 have video
[18:50] <haseebh2O> Welshy-Rob:  i have just managed to open firefox somehow inorder to come to irc and fix the problem
[18:50] <Welshy-Rob> haseebh2O,  no worries
[18:50] <theadmin> yaaar: Empathy is based on telepathy backend, it's quite awesome. But empathy GUI is just... bleh
[18:50] <Oasa> but when karmic was created it dint have video support
[18:50] <DAMEXICO__> So i guess that rules out pidgin as the best then
[18:50] <DAMEXICO__> maybe you just got used to pidgin
[18:50] <Welshy-Rob> haseebh2O, are you admin?
[18:50] <haseebh2O> Welshy-Rob:  graphics card 9600m GT i update to my knowledge 185.xx

[18:51] <PDG1> alright :D fixed one of my problems
[18:51] <Welshy-Rob> haseebh2O, have you enabled any "hardware drivers"?
[18:51] <lavin> actionparsnip:  when i ls in a file and its in green how do i open that file

[18:52] <Oasa> i wonder if a nick bazant PMed any of you?
[18:52] <haseebh2O> Welshy-Rob:  everything was operational, sound,wifi only the system was abit laggish so i thought of updating

[18:57] <Welshy-Rob> haseebh2O, i may know what it is now just try log out and before you log back in look at the bottem and there should be a drop down list , just make sure you have `gnome` selected

[19:01] <rexha> hiexepo the latetes version of pidgin is 2.6.5 but in ubuntu respos is 2.6.2 so it's better to use ubuntu's one or www.pidgin.im
[19:01] <haseebh2O> Welshy-Rob:  nope
[19:01] <Tatsuya6400> Can i get a working link to quirk checker script please?
[19:02] <Welshy-Rob> haseebh2O, humm i dont know sorry = ( im not that experienced my self sorry for wasting your time
[19:02] <haseebh2O> Welshy-Rob:  same thing just the panel,this all happened after the update or anything that was marked in the synaptic manager
[19:02] <haseebh2O> Welshy-Rob:  no problem
[19:02] <Pici> Tatsuya6400: No one knows what that is.  If you explain perhaps someone can answer you.
[19:02] <PDG1> hiexpo: well it's part of the repository... so I'd say so. When you update the system it updates all the packages
[19:02] <mlhoss> 2nd question.. with kubuntu karmic on the pc, and ubuntu on the laptop, i could still have network control over the laptop?
[19:03] <Welshy-Rob> haseebh2O,  you could try uninstalling the package ?
[19:03] <hiexpo> ok got it had to use my noddle a bit lol pidgin -v
[19:03] <Tatsuya6400> i have trouble recovering my laptop from suspend, the help and support says to try quirk script checker, but the internet link is broken, i was wondering if any1 knew what to do?
[19:03] <yaaar> wow. so there you have it...empathy just straight-up won't let you create an account without storing the password. and it's been a known bug for like 2.5 years. and yet they still made it the default IM for Karmic. that's so insane i can't get my head around it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/118800

[19:15] <JULinuxUser> Guest42361 no that's not my problem. My problem is that I don't know how to get my computer to see the Conexant Systems, Inc. HCF 56k Data/Fax/Voice Modem (Worldwide) (rev 08) dial up modem

[19:16] <JULinuxUser> nathan7 right. so why are they so hard to get working?

[19:18] <nathan7> JULinuxUser: It doesn't know the language the modem speaks
[19:18] <nathan7> JULinuxUser: kinda
[19:18] <nathan7> JULinuxUser: It doesn't know how to talk to it
[19:18] <JULinuxUser> For me external modems have all been easy to set up. This internal one should be easy too.
[19:19] <Oasa> can some please tell me how to connect via vpn ?????
[19:19] <dcver> have you set it up ?

[19:20] <nathan7> Oasa: what kind of VPN?
[19:20] <nathan7> objorn: #ubuntu isn't #debian, although most debian stuff applies to ubuntu too and vice-versa
[19:20] <objorn> i had xorg to reconfigure and create another xorg.conf on this distro and i copied it over to the other partition, but the x.org wouldn't start up
[19:20] <^icy-ice^> ubuntu is repackaged and reworked debian
[19:20] <Oasa> nathan7, dcver : I In windows i used to select set up vpn. I give the address as : vpn.kongshare.com and username and pass.
[19:21] <objorn> nathan7: it's a ubuntu dist
[19:21] <nathan7> objorn: no.
[19:21] <objorn> nathan7: yes it is
[19:21] <nathan7> objorn: Ubuntu is based on debian.
[19:21] <objorn> i know this
[19:21] <objorn> but i'm asking for ubuntu help
[19:21] <Pindaman> Hey its me again, still no progress on my Ubuntu Server internet connection. Its driving me mad
[19:21] <^icy-ice^> both ubuntu and debian are intended for computer novices or typical users
[19:21] <nathan7>  20:19:39 < objorn> i have two installations of debian on this system
[19:21] <nathan7>  20:19:58 < objorn> i'm trying to get the other one to start, but the i screwed up the X.org on it
[19:21] <objorn> my bad, i meant ubuntu
[19:21] <^icy-ice^> so that I use OpenBSD, which is only for elitists
[19:21] <llutz> Oasa: install a vpn-client, configure it, use it
[19:21] <primary> Will someone direct me to a programmers channel?
[19:22] <nathan7> ^icy-ice^: Lol.
[19:22] <Pindaman> My current situation is that i can ping and host to anything and it all works fine. But as soon as i wget or apt-get update nothing happens.
[19:22] <nathan7> ^icy-ice^: Debian is intended for computer novices, Ubuntu is *suitable* for computer novices
[19:22] <sergant> #ubuntu-ru
[19:22] <Oasa> llutz : give me a name of a vpn client
[19:23] <llutz> Oasa: apt-cache search vpn client                      i.e vpnc
[19:23] <^icy-ice^> nathan7: do you know OpenBSD has a new song with every release?
[19:23] <Welshy-Rob> Oasa, tor
[19:23] <Oasa> Welshy-Rob: what ?
[19:23] <^icy-ice^> nathan7: the latest song from 4.6 is about Intel, Microsoft, ACPI and AMI
[19:23] <Welshy-Rob> Oasa, it's a name of a vpn
[19:24] <llutz> Welshy-Rob: tor isn't a vpn-client
[19:24] <Oasa> tor okay
[19:24] <Welshy-Rob> llutz, ok
[19:24] <Oasa> lemme see
[19:24] <Welshy-Rob> llutz, what is it then?
[19:24] <llutz> Welshy-Rob: tor- the onion router, a network
[19:25] <Oasa> which one serve my purpose there are about 5
[19:25] <Oasa> llutz : which one serve my purpose there are about 5
[19:25] <Welshy-Rob> llutz,  yeah which is a Virtual Private Network
[19:25] <saraqual> Hey guys
[19:25] <llutz> Welshy-Rob: which is not intended to connect to a "normal" vpn
[19:26] <Welshy-Rob> !hi | saraqual
[19:26] <llutz> Oasa: depends on your vpn, read documentation
[19:26] <Welshy-Rob> llutz, oh okay i get what you mean
[19:26] <saraqual> Heya Welshy-Rob , ta for the welcome :D
[19:26] <Guest42361> tony are you there?
[19:26] <Welshy-Rob> saraqual, anytime
[19:26] <Welshy-Rob> !ask | saraqual
[19:27] <wash> Uh, so, I just re-installed Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop on my Macbook 5-1 (aluminum unibody). For some reason, https://help.ubuntu.com/community <- this page is showing up in spanish. I've tried restarting my computer, clearing the cache, uninstalling firefox,
[19:27] <hwilde> wash, edit, preferences, content, languages
[19:27] <saraqual> Just a quick question if you please, I am an avid gamer, but the rest of my gaming horde uses Ventrilo, any substitute on ubuntu, or will I have to build up something from scratch?
[19:27] <wash> It's -really- annoying. I've not seen any similiar results when I googled it. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? It's just this one page
[19:28] <wash> Tried that hwilde.
[19:28] <Oasa> llutz : There is no documentation available :(
[19:28] <nathan7> ^icy-ice^: ooh, cool
[19:28] <Guest22640> SALUT A TOUS
[19:28] <Oasa> llutz can you please check and tell which one I need. In windows the normal one does
[19:28] <wash> The language is english
[19:28] <nathan7> ^icy-ice^: but I can listen to it without using the OS =p
[19:28] <Welshy-Rob> saraqual, look at wine
[19:28] <wash> every other page is in english
[19:28] <hwilde> wash, you just reinstalled?  try making a new user and see if they are spanish too
[19:28] <jophish> If I wanted a user to not be able to run any commands, how would I achieve this. I cant remember exactly how to do it, putting shell=FALSE into a configuration file for that user. I cant seem to remember the details
[19:28] <Welshy-Rob> !wine | saraqual
[19:28] <wash> Tried that too.
[19:29] <hwilde> actually... that page is spanish.
[19:29] <wash> hahaha
[19:29] <wash> itc, epicness
[19:29] <^icy-ice^> nathan7: right, so check the OpenBSD 4.6 song, dude.
[19:29] <hwilde> it was edited today and turned into spanish
[19:29] <wash> that's pretty funny.
[19:29] <saraqual> Rob, well, I am looking at moving everything on the gaming side over to the ubuntu side, I've used wine in the past (3 - 4 years ago) but it was sluggish for the gaming, is there some other emulator which I can use that would take care of Vent and the gaming requirements?
[19:29] <hwilde> the previous diff is english
[19:29] <Welshy-Rob> saraqual, see this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=41737
[19:29] <wash> *nods*
[19:30] <wash> That would explain things
[19:30] <hwilde> you should login and revert it to english tbh
[19:30] <Pici> hwilde: I'll poke someone about it.
[19:30] <saraqual> Lemme check quickly :)
[19:30] <Welshy-Rob> saraqual, i am not sure sorry
[19:30] <wash> I think I can edit it
[19:30] <wash> I have a launchpad account
[19:30] <llutz> Oasa: you don't really ask _me_ to read _your_ documentation, don't you?
[19:31] <hwilde> wash, well you can just view the previous page for now
[19:31] <Oasa> llutz : I dont have a documentation and there is no documentation
[19:31] <Oasa> llutz : I installed vpnc
[19:31] <Oasa> llutz : its asking me IPsec gateway. Whats it?
[19:31] <saraqual> Ah, no worries Rob :) B.t.w, I am applying for a new job, they want me to configure and run digital pabx's like asterix ... would it better to get the asterix destro for that, or would it be better to grab ubuntu and load asterix on it?
[19:31] <saraqual> Just an opinion poll of sorts :P
[19:31] <bcj> Under which package do I submit CD/DVD drive issues?
[19:31] <wash> Well, shouldn't I change it back?
[19:32] <nathan7> kernel?
[19:32] <hwilde> saraqual, you better get ubuntu server and tons of ram
[19:32] <bcj> nathan7: That was my first thought, but I don't want to bother those guys if there is a specific owner.
[19:33] <saraqual> Yeah? Shyte... I thought I could build a test rig at home, but the dammed hardware here is expensive, so I might have to hold up on that one
[19:34] <wash> Also, anyone know where I can find a decent guide for setting up and using an svn repository?
[19:34] <trism> wash: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ is a pretty decent guide
[19:35] <steffan> !svn | wash
[19:35] <wash> *nods*
[19:37]  * _Ovidiu is away: Gone away for now
[19:38] <wash> Any other suggested software that goes with SVN? e.g. remote-access GUI? Planning to set it up on my server.
[19:38] <bastid_raZor> !away > _Ovidiu
[19:38] <fromWinToLin> Does anyone here use Banshee Media Player?
[19:39] <bcj> wash: Have you looked at Tortoise?
[19:39] <wash> Not heard of it, will have to take a look
[19:39] <toto> hi gentlemen
[19:39] <saraqual> Cheers cheers guys
[19:39] <Guest86127> i am wondering ohw can i see my network with ubuntu
[19:40] <Trek> Guest86127, define "see your network"
[19:40] <Guest86127> i have a gentoo box. both ubuntu and gentoo are connected to my AP (wifi)
[19:40] <kothog> i am following some dependencies for a project i'm building from souce and i keep running into lib not found.  libSM not found. libxrandr not found.. etc. Is there a way, on a normal system, to find meta-packages that *provide* a single one of these libraries, and thus potentially locate a one-liner apt-get i can use to try and get everything i need?
[19:40] <HTbeeJay> hey guys, anyone here has ubuntu running on lenovos latest t410?
[19:40] <Guest86127> Trek: i d like to be able to see the other coputer and drag and drop files, or connect through them with an export display, etc
[19:41] <fromWinToLin> Guest82857, the non-traditional way is to browse the network share with Nautilus (which will mount it as readable only to Nautilus or Nautlis-aware applications).
[19:41] <Guest86127> anything graphical to copy and paste files, etc. The other problem i have is when i try to set my DLNA certified TV: not able to see my omputers
[19:41] <kothog> i've tried apt-cache rdepends.. but that doesn't do it.
[19:41] <fromWinToLin> That was meant for Guest86127.
[19:41] <Trek> Guest86127, sorry, had to switch off of the web-FTP-access
[19:42] <Guest86127> Trek fromWinToLin it s ok
[19:42] <Trek> Guest86127, you can easily achieve FTP with SFTP/SSH
[19:42] <Trek> Guest86127, you can easily achieve Fdrag-and-drop with SFTP/SSH*
[19:42] <fromWinToLin> Guest86127, open up Nautilus (the file browser for GNOME), and then type in something like this: smb://192.168.2.5/myshare
[19:42] <Seveas> fromWinToLin, err, that's not entirely true. What nautilus accesses can be found in ~/.gvfs/ for non-file-url aware applications
[19:43] <fromWinToLin> Guest86127, of course, replace the IP address with the actual computer's IP address, and replace "myshare" with the actual share name.
[19:43] <fromWinToLin> Seveas, did not know that. That can come in handy, definitely.
[19:44] <male_renamon> my software downloads are very slow and i have a great connection. wats the problem here?
[19:44] <fromWinToLin> Seveas, but for shares I need available 24/7, I just mount them with autofs somewhere in /mnt/.
[19:44] <Seveas> fromWinToLin, and nautilus can be taught to pass the names in ~/.gvfs when opening such applications :)
[19:44] <Andria> when i use the Shortcuts to mount an NTFS, which command is use ? Thanks :)
[19:44] <Guest86127> well ok then so i don t know which is the IP of the other box
[19:44] <AndyB> Hello, world
[19:44] <Andria> male_renamon, maybe the server is busy :)
[19:45] <fromWinToLin> Guest86127, on the other box, type: ifconfig
[19:45] <fromWinToLin> Guest82857, this should show you the IP address for the active network adapter.
[19:45] <male_renamon> hmm maybe im trying to get frets on fire
[19:45] <jeffjeffdejeff> hi all. looking for advice on how to add another hdd to my setup.  have managed to format the disk which shows up when i do fdisk -l as sdb1.  but when i try to mount using "sudo mount /dev/sdb1" i get "can't find /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"  can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong please?
[19:46] <AndyB> Dear channel .. does anybody in here successfully operates an USB Hub at 2.0 speed with Linux?
[19:46] <male_renamon> are there any known problems with that programs?
[19:46] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, not enough arguments. You need to specify where you want to mount it (location in the file system tree.) For example: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/newhdd
[19:47] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, it's recommended you create an empty directory where you want to mount it to.
[19:47] <Guest86127> fromWinToLin: i am on it thanks
[19:47] <male_renamon> are there any known problems with the program frets on fire?
[19:47] <lory80> hello all
[19:47] <jeffjeffdejeff> fromWintoLin: not sure i understand you fully.  sorry, relevant novice as you may have guessed.
[19:48] <BigDaddyCool> Hello, I have an EeePC 1101HA. The keys for LCD brightness are not working. Brightness adjustment via gnome applet works. Is there an easy way to add it via System->Preferences->Keyboard?
[19:48] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, after that, you can access the new drive under /mnt/newhdd (and even create shortcuts to it, etc.) If you want this to be done on boot up, add an entry in /etc/fstab
[19:48] <Guest86127> fromWinToLin: ok so i can ping my other box
[19:48] <nathan7> Okay, wtf.
[19:48] <AndyB> My USB Hub disconnects after some time with heavy load, leaving "Cannot enable port 2.  Maybe the USB cable is bad?" in the dmesg log. I googled for hours, there's more than 500.000 hits and there's a almost three years old bug filed for Ubuntu aswell. I can't believe it's such a mess to use USB2.0 with Linux.
[19:48] <lory80> I have to reactivate the CUPS server to get the active printer at every boot. with the command sudo etc / init.d / cups restart. there 'way to make permanent the start the start the CUPS server?
[19:48] <mEck0> Hi! I have problems with connecting to a hidden WLAN with WPA2 encryption from a ASUS EEE901. I have broadcast ssid disabled and when I add the hidden wlan, it can't be found, hence not connected to. If I remember right, this eee has a Racom 2860 network card
[19:48] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, create a new directory somewhere. Preferreably within the /mnt/ directory. Example: sudo mkdir /mnt/newhdd
[19:48] <Trek> Guest86127, have you considered using VNC or something to get connectivity between the two computers?
[19:48] <AndyB> Ony "solution" I found was: remove ehci module, downgrade to USB 1.1 ...
[19:48] <KaiForce> AndyB:  some USB controllers are crap
[19:49] <chai> hi all. ubuntu 9.10 amd64 here. I have java runtime installed, but java applets don't work in chrome or firefox. can anyone help me?
[19:49] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, then mount the newly formatted partition in that location: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/newhdd
[19:49] <Guest86127> Trek, i haven t. i d like to see the other computer, in anyway.
[19:49] <AndyB> KaiForce: I've read that a hundred times today. But: Windows works fine. Actually, I have tried 3 HUBs already. Can't believe they are all crap.
[19:49] <Guest86127> i can SFTP from one to another, but port 22 refused the connection
[19:49] <Sargun> A) How do I get more virtual desktops in gnome?
[19:49] <Guest86127> is that going to be really hard°
[19:49] <Guest86127> ?
[19:49] <Trek> Guest86127, you need to open port 22 then through the firewall
[19:49] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, and to access the drive, nagivate to /mnt/newdhh (or even create a shortcut to it for more convenience.)
[19:49] <fromWinToLin> *navigate
[19:49] <KaiForce> AndyB: what controllers are they?
[19:49] <AndyB> Even if they are crap, why do they work with Windows, and they don't work with Linux
[19:49] <acicula> Sargun: err via preferences
[19:49] <fromWinToLin> *newhdd
[19:50] <Trek> Guest86127, I don't like setting up VNC, so I just SSH into my computers;
[19:50] <Guest86127> i don t mind the way it could be done, really. i just want the easiest way.
[19:50] <CAPcap> sargun right click and select preferences then chan # of rows/columns
[19:50] <Guest86127> Trek: ok so i have to open port. A GUI in ubuntu?
[19:50] <acicula> Sargun: right click the workspace pager and change it
[19:50] <Sargun> CAPcap, acicula thank
[19:50] <CAPcap> sargun no problem
[19:50] <AndyB> KaiForce: My Desktop PC is a Gigabyte 78GPM DS2H with SB700, USB-hubs are D-Link, Delock, Trust, some other ..
[19:50] <Sargun> B) Network manager doesn't support vlans, yet my ethernet interface is trunked. I can't use stuff like empathy unless NM says the connection is up. Any ideas?
[19:50] <Trek> Guest86127, Firestarter or gufw will do the trick, and auto-config your iptables which will open the port
[19:50] <AndyB> I have the same USB trouble with my SheevaPlug
[19:50] <Trek> Guest86127, wait, thats ubuntu
[19:51] <Guest42361> can anyone here help my with setting my remote up
[19:51] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, take a look at the file /etc/fstab  (this file contains a list of mounts to be mounted upon booting up the system, automatically.) You can edit it with root privileges (example sudo gedit /etc/fstab) and add your own custom entries, such as this one you just made.
[19:51] <acicula> nm doesnt support vlans?
[19:51] <jeffjeffdejeff> fromwintolin: oooh you're good
[19:51] <Trek> Guest86127, you'll have to configure the firewall on the other box to accept on port 22
[19:51] <Trek> thats all
[19:51] <Trek> i'm of
[19:51] <acicula> acura: i havent had problems with vlans and ubuntu, can you rephrase your problem?
[19:51] <jeffjeffdejeff> fromwintolin: ok, what would i need to put in fstab to now make it mounted at boot?
[19:51] <CAPcap> I have a saitek p880 dual analog usb controller. i cant find anything but windows drivers. any suggestions?
[19:51] <acicula> s/acura/ Sargun
[19:51] <nightfrog> gksudo gedit /etc/fstab would be better
[19:52] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, here's a good article on it: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html
[19:52] <Wanderer> Anyone have dhcpd working with ipv6?
[19:52] <acicula> Wanderer: its on by default
[19:52] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, I can give you a basic example, but change it to your liking.
[19:52] <lory80> I have to reactivate the CUPS server to get the active printer at every boot. with the command sudo etc / init.d / cups restart. there 'way to make permanent the start the start the CUPS server?
[19:52] <acicula> Wanderer: or is this about assigning ips?
[19:52] <Wanderer> acicula: I'm trying to figure out how to get my dhcpd to hand out ipv6 IP's

[19:52] <wash> So, I have a Macbook 5-1 running Karmic. Is there any way to install rEFIt without Mac OS X? I've got no Mac OS X install disk.
[19:53] <Flamey> fromWinToLin: Isn't he better to use sudo -e such as not to give his editor root privileges?
[19:53] <sergio> ola
[19:53] <sergio> ola
[19:53] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, here is an example of a line you can add: /dev/sdb1     /mnt/newhdd     ext3     defaults     0     0
[19:53] <sergio> ola
[19:53] <CAPcap> I have a saitek p880 dual analog usb gamepad. i cant find anything but windows drivers. any suggestions?
[19:53] <fromWinToLin> Flamey, just trying to keep it simple for the time being, plus I have to run now!
[19:53] <spiderman> ñ,,kkkk
[19:53] <jeffjeffdejeff> fromwintolin:  that's great so far, thanks.  possible silly question, but when it's mounted, i take it all folders/subdirectories within that point are accessible?  do i need a uuid to put in fstab?
[19:53] <Guest86127> guys so no one of you see his other boxes out of the box?
[19:54] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, it's better if you use the uuid or partition ID instead of the dynamic link. Example: Use /dev/disk/by-id/blahblahlbah-part1   instead of   /dev/sdb1
[19:55] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, yes, when you mount it, it gives you access to the entire file system (ext2, ext 3, ext4, whatever) that you created earlier. It's like plugging in a USB drive and having access to everything within the USB drive.
[19:55] <CAPcap> I have a saitek p880 dual analog usb gamepad. i cant find anything but windows drivers. any suggestions?
[19:56] <fromWinToLin> jeffjeffdejeff, I have to run, seriously! I might be late. Hopefully others here (and I'm sure) will be able to help you more.
[19:56] <Scunizi> Is there anything in the repos for an admin to initiate a remote desktop connection to a user that may or may not be behind a firewall?
[19:56] <jeffjeffdejeff> fromwintolin - sorry - didnt realise you needed to dash.  thanks ever so much!
[19:56] <arghh2d2> i just got a new harddrive, i want it to mount up at boot but i want  regular users (or at least one reguser) to have full +rwx permissions...would the options  auto,user in fstab be sufficient? cuz auto by itself doesnt include +x  but auto seems to be necesary for boot mounting
[19:57] <CAPcap> I have a saitek p880 dual analog usb gamepad. i cant find anything but windows drivers. any suggestions?
[19:58] <Guest86127> ok i solved it!
[19:58] <Guest86127> i ran ssh daemon on the other box. and voila. a SFTP and bingooo
[19:58] <Knick-LAP> Hi - i just installed ubuntu on my usb stick using the live cd, but now when I try to boot my notebook without the usb stick plugged in, it comes up with the grub loader and can't boot back into windows. any solutions?
[19:59] <GrandPixel> i changed ownership of a folder to another user and group, now i can't get back into the folder in terminal... how do i view and edit files in that folder?
[19:59] <Sargun> acicula, How do I do vlans via method of network manager?
[19:59] <jexmex> anybody else heard of problems with ubuntu 9.10 acting funny after waking up, or not waking up at all (after it goes into suspend mode)
[19:59] <lory80> I have to reactivate the CUPS server to get the active printer at every boot. with the command sudo etc / init.d / cups restart. there 'way to make permanent the start the start the CUPS server?
[19:59] <wash> Jexmex, yah
[19:59] <wash> I have the same issues
[19:59] <VCoolio> jeffjeffdejeff: sorry, just looked into the channel; if you want write access to the partitions you're automounting I think you need "user,defaults" (no spaces) instead of just defaults
[19:59] <wash> But it's probably cause efi hates me on my end
[20:00] <Scunizi> Sargun: if your machine is part of one vlan then the ip and netmask should be set to what is required of that vlan
[20:00] <hajmola> how come my external harddrive suddenly got named "4947-234F"? Is there a way I can change that?
[20:00] <bastid_raZor> GrandPixel: sudo chmod o+rx  folder   ..that will allow everyone not in the group or owner to get into that directory
[20:00] <GrandPixel> ok thanks bastid_raZor
[20:00] <jexmex> I installed it on two older computers we are going to use for data entry, the laptop acts funny after it wakes up (the mouse acts like the computer is lagging bad and trying to lock up), the other one will not wake up, its in a comma, lol
[20:00] <Scunizi> Sargun: #networking might be a better channel for that type of question..
[20:00] <dskippy> I am having a problem upgrading an old machine that was on gutsy gibbon. I ran "sudo do-release-upgrade" it upgraded to hardy heron fine. I tried running that command after the upgrade and now it does not find a new version. I want to get to karmic-koala.
[20:01] <bastid_raZor> GrandPixel: you'll also need to add w if you're wanting to be able to write to it..  but that defeats the purpose of changing owner/group.
[20:01] <hajmola> dskippy, best idea is to do a clean install
[20:01] <dskippy> I tried to copy a karmic koala sources.list and run apt-get dist-upgrade but that gives lots of errors.

[20:02] <GrandPixel> are the terms "user" and "owner" synonomous in linux?
[20:02] <dskippy> guntbert: Thanks. Reading.
[20:03] <Guest86127> OK SO THIS WORK IF i start the sshd daemon in the other box: but the other way is not available, cause i need to satrt the ssh server on my ubuntu as well
[20:03] <Guest86127> how can i do this?
[20:03] <kothog> GrandPixel: no.
[20:03] <bastid_raZor> Guest86127: install openssh-server on both boxes
[20:03] <guntbert> GrandPixel: yes and no, the owner is the user that owns the file, but in the permission he is called "user" :)
[20:04] <Guest86127> bastid_raZor: one of the boxes is ok. i just need to run the ssh daemon every boot
[20:04] <Guest86127> onthe other box
[20:04] <Guest86127> how can i start this on ubuntu?
[20:04] <bastid_raZor> Guest86127: openssh-server being installed it will do it itself..
[20:04] <guntbert> dskippy: and see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[20:05] <jedc> GrandPixel, every user is an owner of his or her files

[20:08] <syockit> sudipta: ask once and wait.
[20:09] <Guest86127> mobi-sheep: i mean i installed openssh server. then?
[20:09] <mobi-sheep> Guest86127: That is it. It is a daemon. It is already running. You can go ahead and ssh in.

[20:09] <Flamey> wash: How did you install ubuntu on your Macbook, through boot camp?

[20:11] <sum1> why when i shutdown ubu 9.10 i got the shutdown image in low res and half-damaged?
[20:11] <mobi-sheep> Guest86127: You could try ushare.  It s a lightweight UPnP A/V Media Server.
[20:12] <wash> Well, no legal one. A friend offered a 32 bit 10.5.6, but it was cracked
[20:12] <Kentrel> sum1,  I get that two. Don't know why - figured it was a video driver issue. I have an onboard Geforce
[20:12] <sum1> Kentrel i got nvidia too.. but the rest was ok.. strange thing!
[20:13] <Kentrel> Can you access a terminal window with Alt+F8 or whatever it is

[20:14] <station> including programs.
[20:14] <station> what is the ideal way to do so
[20:14] <rcaskey> is there any way to see the permissions of a file inside a tar archive? tar --list lets me see the actual naems of the files
[20:16] <mobi-sheep> station: There are no ideal way but there are many ways. For starters, you could take a look in ubuntu-desktop metapackage and determine what packages are installed; then remove those.

[20:26] <mobi-sheep> miranda_82: Use a terminal instead of TTY? ;\  I would think HDMI is something related to Xorg.

[20:26] <noise_> what is aircrack,?
[20:26] <cbx33> oooooooh
[20:27] <darkmaster977> aircrack is a program
[20:27] <darkmaster977> xd
[20:27] <noise_> wow
[20:27] <Pici> darkmaster977: When helping, be helpful.
[20:27] <noise_> really?
[20:27] <Trek> noise_ its software to crack wifi systems, but you shouldn't hack :P
[20:27] <darkmaster977> to chacking wifi networks with wep and wpa
[20:27] <pfifo> aircrack is used to hack WEP and other wireless security.
[20:27] <noise_> so i can find the password ?
[20:27] <Trek> which is illegal, noise_
[20:27] <noise_> ok
[20:27] <darkmaster977> yes
[20:27] <noise_> where can i find a tutorial?
[20:28] <darkmaster977> on yt
[20:28] <noise_> is easy to learn
[20:28] <MTecknology> !grub2
[20:28] <pfifo> no its not illegal, its illegal to steal bandwidth, finding the security key is ok
[20:28] <MTecknology> !restoregrub
[20:28] <miranda_82> mobi-sheep, so HDMI depends on X Window?
[20:28] <station> mobi-sheep, I don't want kde
[20:28] <station> it removes everything related to it
[20:28] <Trek> can you stop talking about illegally hacking security and what not?  it's making me want to get the international governments involved
[20:28] <station> including the mouse driver and stuff
[20:28] <J0NnYe> what language used in TRIN00 who knows?
[20:28] <guntbert> !ot | darkmaster977, noise_
[20:28] <Pici> noise_: We don't provide support for it in this channel, you'll have to look elsewhere.
[20:28] <noise_> ok
[20:28] <Pici> guntbert: We don't support aircrack in -offtopic either.
[20:29] <miranda_82> noise_, i missed your question, what was it?
[20:29] <mobi-sheep> miranda_82: You could try #xorg or #nvidia
[20:29] <Trek> Pici, what's the ! tag that states stuff regarding legal/ people-uncomfortable-with-illegal-activities thing?
[20:29] <cbx33> noise_, goto remote-exploit.org
[20:29] <cbx33> sorry
[20:29] <cbx33> .com
[20:29] <guntbert> Pici: sorry, you are right - you found the better words anyway :)
[20:29] <miranda_82> mobi-sheep, do you think there is a change to get grub on the HDMI?
[20:29] <guntbert> Trek: piracy
[20:29] <Pici> Trek: !illegal
[20:29] <noise_> thank you
[20:30] <miranda_82> aircrack is not piracy at all guys..
[20:30] <noise_> i have wifi around my house but they have pass,so can i use them ?
[20:30] <mobi-sheep> station: That command should remove (all or most of) Ubuntu-Gnome packages. Don't have to install KDE.
[20:30] <CAPcap> I have a saitek p880 dual analog usb gamepad. i cant find anything but windows drivers. any suggestions?
[20:30] <Pici> miranda_82: The !piracy and !illegal factoids point to the same block of text, thats all,.
[20:30] <miranda_82> noise_, if it does not belong to you, or you are not authorized, its illegal
[20:30] <station> i understand, I tried it yesterday
[20:30] <miranda_82> Pici, no worries
[20:30] <station> it won't recognize the mouse attached, even though the optical light is on
[20:30] <cbx33> who's this saying aircrack is illegal :)
[20:30] <noise_> i my country its not a problem ! :P
[20:30] <pfifo> noise_, ask them, they might let you, specially if you offer to pay a portion of the bill
[20:31] <station> it won't display anything in the LXDE session
[20:31] <miranda_82> noise_, even in some countries, its illegal to connect to someones wifi even if they are not protected
[20:31] <cbx33> miranda_82, such as the UK
[20:31] <noise_> i am from albania!
[20:31] <Pici> !offtopic
[20:31] <miranda_82> cbx33, good point :)
[20:32] <cbx33> but, there is nothing wrong with testing the strength of your own wireless
[20:32] <station> mobi-sheep, another thing is that this machine uses a wireless crad
[20:32] <mobi-sheep> station: You could try reinstalling lubuntu-desktop packages. Some packages are overlaying with others.
[20:32] <miranda_82> cbx33, exactly, you are absolutely wright
[20:32] <station> thus there is no utility to configrure it
[20:32] <cbx33> noise_, I wouldn't like to comment on your laws there, but I certainly wouldn't advocate using other peoples wireless without their permission
[20:32] <miranda_82> *right
[20:32] <noise_> okok
[20:33] <pfifo> I am looking to remove gnome-panel from my install but I need something to replace it with, dose anyone know of a different taskbar/panel solution?
[20:33] <lieuwe> probably the wrong place to ask, but are there any multiplayer games that you can play on both ubuntu and windowze?
[20:33] <cbx33> lieuwe, sure there are
[20:33] <cbx33> Tremulous

[20:35] <cbx33> J0NnYe, what ya wanna know
[20:35] <Slart> lieuwe: most of Id softwares stuff is available on linux as well.. quake wars, enemy territory and so on
[20:35] <pfifo> CAPcap, I have a p2500, it just works
[20:35] <cbx33> CAPcap, is it detected as a USB device?
[20:36] <CAPcap> cbx33, idk um how would i check?
[20:36] <lieuwe> the problem isn finding linux games, the problem is running them on windowze
[20:36] <J0NnYe> cbx33 php injection..do u know?
[20:36] <cbx33> CAPcap, load up terminal
[20:36] <pfifo> J0NnYe, php, go...
[20:36] <cbx33> and type dmesg
[20:37] <cbx33> J0NnYe, what type of php injection
[20:37] <cbx33> and for what reasons
[20:37] <CAPcap> ok well i see my controller listed in the mile of stuff that showed up
[20:37] <J0NnYe> cbx33 i dont know how i can get a shell
[20:37] <Slart> lieuwe: enemy territory, doom and so on might just be available on windows.. I'm not sure if any of the games in the Doom series was ever considered a hit on windows.. but I understand they might be more popular on linux.. ;)  <-- major sarcasm smiley here
[20:37] <J0NnYe> cbx33 or a good shell
[20:38] <cbx33> J0NnYe, you're not being very clear,
[20:38] <cbx33> plus this topic is probably best discussed in a php channel
[20:39] <brandonban6> Anyone here use Autokey in Ubuntu; if so I have a scripting question.
[20:39] <J0NnYe> cbx33 sure
[20:39] <Slart> lieuwe: this page actually has a pretty nice list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_gaming#id_Software
[20:39] <lieuwe> Slart: iḿ really looking for games i can multiplay with someone on a windows pc...
[20:39] <guntbert> J0NnYe: ask in ##php
[20:40] <cbx33> guntbert, beat me to it
[20:40] <cbx33> J0NnYe, ^^
[20:40] <guntbert> cbx33: :)
[20:40] <Ose> so, my computer crashed while I was working in this program called RedNotebook, and now it doesn't start up properly
[20:40] <Ose> it goes straight to the gray unresponsive screen
[20:40] <Ose> help?
[20:41] <Slart> lieuwe: yes? all the games I've mentioned have native clients on both windows and linux
[20:41] <Ose> it as in the program I mean
[20:41] <CAPcap> cbx33, its working fine i guess the game i was setting it up for before just didnt like it
[20:41] <Slart> lieuwe: many of the games on the webpage I linked you too also have clients for more than one OS..
[20:41] <CAPcap> thanks
[20:41] <lieuwe> Slart: rly? all the sites pointed to mention nothing out windows/ports
[20:41] <cbx33> np
[20:43] <cbx33> right now back to ASM and NASM!
[20:43] <Slart> lieuwe: Enemy territory.... Quake Wars ... Doom 3...

[20:46] <guntbert> miranda_82: ubuntu support
[20:46] <miranda_82> If I say that GNOME is good, is that offtopic as well?
[20:46] <guntbert> miranda_82: yes
[20:46] <Trek> miranda_82: anything else can be talked about in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:46] <Pici> miranda_82: This is a support channel, so if you're asking or answering questions or watching, thats fine.  Discusssion is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:47] <miranda_82> so the php injection conversation was fine,
[20:47] <miranda_82> but saying that ET is fun is offtopic
[20:47] <miranda_82> excellent
[20:47] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  I've noticed that wpa supplicant (in roaming mode) doesn't appear to reliably execute my "down" commands when I leave certain access points.  How come?
[20:48] <jonaskoelker> I just pick up my laptop and leave the radio coverage area.  Is that related?
[20:48] <bitzy> hello, I am a new ubuntu user... can I use Yahoo messenger on this SO?
[20:48] <miranda_82> you guys should  definitely calm down a litte bit and take it easy
[20:48] <Trek> bitzy, not really.  you can use Pidgin though to use the IM feature of Yahoo though
[20:48] <Slart> bitzy: yes.. you can either use empathy, that might already be installed, or try pidgin

[20:48] <wash> I'm having some problems with apt-get on my server. Just installed server 9.10 + LAMP + OpenSSH. SItting on a VLAN behind a NAT w/ static outward facing IP. I'm able to SSH in from within the network, and apache/mysql seem to be running fine, but whenever I apt-get anything, I'm being told it can't be found
[20:48] <brandonban6> bitzy, you can also try www.meebo.com
[20:49] <e-DIO-t> and I mean: WHY canonical started supporting empathy?! :°°°
[20:49] <wash> Can't do sudo apt-get update either
[20:49] <bitzy> thank you!
[20:49] <sheepherd> yo all... im new to ubuntu and running this automatic update thing right now... and now it asks me: "what would you like to do about grub?" what shall i do?
[20:49] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: what are your options?
[20:49] <bitzy> I was more interested in the file sharing competences of the original Y! messenger...
[20:49] <guntbert> e-DIO-t: this channel is for support - discussions in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[20:49] <Slart> e-DIO-t: wasn't it Gnome that started having empathy as some kind of default?
[20:49] <bitzy> :D
[20:49] <sheepherd> keep the local version currently installed <- selected by default
[20:50] <jonaskoelker> bitzy: you can try running it under wine
[20:50] <sheepherd> install the package maintainer's version
[20:50] <sheepherd> show the differences between the versions
[20:50] <toto> hi!
[20:50] <sheepherd> show a side-by-side difference between the versions
[20:50] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: have you edited /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[20:50] <miranda_82> it was about the fact that empathy had already video chat support and gnome did not have it at the time the decision was taken
[20:50] <bitzy> oooo
[20:50] <guntbert> !enter | sheepherd
[20:50] <e-DIO-t> [dunno: tought it was canonical. END of the OT]
[20:50] <sheepherd> oh sry :)
[20:50] <Slart> bitzy: usually the text message stuff works nicely.. but things like video, file sharing and other special things might not work reliably on linux
[20:50] <sheepherd> jonaskoelker no i havent
[20:50] <Guest34964> i have a question: i connected my PC to my plasma TV through HDMI. but the sound doesn t go out from the TV speakers. how can i do this?
[20:50] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: then it should be safe to go with the package maintainer's version
[20:51] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: to to be certain, pastebin the differences
[20:51] <pfifo> wher can I find a list of ! commands?
[20:51] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: (and tell me the url)
[20:51] <Slart> !bot | pfifo
[20:51] <miranda_82> Guest34964, are you using the pusleaudio applet?
[20:51] <Guest34964> miranda_82: no and i don t know what it is :(
[20:52] <sheepherd> jonaskoelker: ya of course :P im new to ubuntu not to pc's
[20:52] <Guest34964> i thought the sound would go naturrally and simply through the HDMI plug
[20:52] <miranda_82> Guest34964, system, preferences, sound
[20:52] <Guest34964> then i could redirect it to my hifi amp
[20:52] <winr4r> so has anyone here got WPA authentication to work with ubuntu + ath5k
[20:52] <bitzy> and one more thing... where can I find desktop themes? I think this OS looks great... but I would like some preinstaled themes can you help me please?
[20:52] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: ah ok :)  some people need the extra hand holding...
[20:52] <winr4r> because i can't :< works with WEP and open networks
[20:52] <Slart> bitzy: have a look at gnome-look.org
[20:53] <Guest34964> miranda_82: ok but what is it for? what do i have to change there?
[20:53] <miranda_82> Guest34964, then go to Hardware, and under profile
[20:53] <winr4r> i get "deauthenticated (reason 15)" in my dmesh
[20:53] <sheepherd> jonaskoelker: here you go: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/171195/
[20:53] <winr4r> dmesg*
[20:53] <miranda_82> Guest34964 and then choose something like Digital Strereo
[20:53] <miranda_82> Guest34964 if you dont have that option, you will possibly need to edit your alsa-base.conf file
[20:53] <ardchoille> !themes | bitzy
[20:54] <Guest34964> miranda_82: nice tip. i ll have a look then
[20:54] <Trek> winr4r, its possible that whatever system you're connecting to is automatically unauthorizing you
[20:54] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: make a backup copy of /boot/grub/menu.lst, then go with the package maintainer's version
[20:54] <winr4r> trek, why would it do that?
[20:54] <bitzy> thank you verry much!
[20:54] <miranda_82> Guest34964 no problem! ITs quite confusing to find
[20:54] <Guest34964> but will it still sound through the PC speakers? (they re not as bad, and using the 4 of them could be sweet)
[20:54] <miranda_82> no
[20:54] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: then reboot.  If linux comes up alright, you (probably) don't need the backup
[20:54] <miranda_82> you get both options under the profile settings
[20:54] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: and if not, have fun with live CDs and such :)
[20:54] <winr4r> trek, i'm like 100% positive that i'm using the right WPA key
[20:55] <Trek> winr4r, could be anything from issues with the access points, to a config issue in ubuntu
[20:55] <Guest34964> oh ok so it is for GOOD file then :)
[20:55] <Ziber> I've run into this problem before, and dont remember how to fix it. Seems there's a bug in "command-not-found". http://zpaste.org/8414
[20:55] <Guest34964> i ll have a look
[20:55] <sheepherd> jonaskoelker: k thx... hope it works out flawlessly
[20:55] <winr4r> Trek: other laptops in the same building connect just fine
[20:55] <miranda_82> kan somebody kick me from this channel please?
[20:55] <winr4r> so i suspect a driver issue
[20:55] <jonaskoelker> sheepherd: it should
[20:55] <Trek> winr4r, are they running *nix as well?
[20:55] <winr4r> the problem is i have no idea what it could be
[20:55] <winr4r> Trek: no micros~1
[20:55] <miranda_82> !kick miranda_82
[20:55] <miranda_82> balls
[20:56] <Guest34964> miranda_82: why?
[20:56] <Trek> miranda_82, go to the ops and ask
[20:56] <e-DIO-t> or flood a bit!
[20:56] <e-DIO-t> ;)
[20:56] <guntbert> miranda_82: just /part #ubuntu
[20:56] <Trek> winr4r, its possible the accesspoint and your operating system are not compatible
[20:56] <Ziber> Why do I get a python error ("import site failed...") when I try a command that doesnt exist on ubuntu 9.04?
[20:56] <Trek> winr4r, thats an issue I deal with and I have an INtel card
[20:56] <miranda_82> or talk about something off topic, and they will flood you with stupid premade messages thinking they are the sheriff
[20:57] <winr4r> winr4r: oh :<
[20:57] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: my guess is the command that gets run when the command you typed wasn't found is written in python, and there's a config problem
[20:57] <winr4r> well if an AP doesn't work with an operating system, that still sounds like a driver bug
[20:57] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: try creating an empty ~/site.py
[20:57] <reisio> guys for the 9.10 install cd, is there a framebuffer installation option in the GRUB menu?
[20:57] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: if that works it's probably a _bad_ band-aid...
[20:58] <magnus> guys i did read about how to install libmimic. but it sed i neded to start it in terminal. how do i fo that?

[21:05] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: i have site.py in /usr/lib/python/2.5/
[21:05] <Scunizi> itamarjp: why did you put the -y at the end of the install line?
[21:05] <itamarjp> I am running as root
[21:05] <datz> itamarjp: ok
[21:05] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: yeah, but your python version isn't 2.5, it's 2.6 (more specifically, 2.6.2)
[21:05] <stronze> i need help fixing my sound.i cant figure out whats wrong and cant locate anything via google/ubuntu forums
[21:05] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: is python2.6-minimal installed?  If not, try installing it
[21:05]  * Ziber blinks
[21:06] <noise_> Thanks for the help!
[21:06]  * Ziber tries
[21:06] <Scunizi> itamarjp: simply.. sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin  ... with no -y at the end
[21:06] <grubnoob> I just reinstalled Grub, so Ubuntu seems to boot properly, but the GUI (Alt+F7) can't seem to see the mouse or keyboard.  How do I fix this?
[21:06] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: yes, it is.
[21:06] <datz> Hi, in the conneciton manager I see an profile under the wired connections "ifupdown (eth0)" I can't edit or delete this connection, and it says it was never active. How can I delete it? I am using ubuntu server with gnome.
[21:06] <itamarjp> makes no difference for me with -y or without it
[21:06] <grubnoob> The keyboard still works in the other screens.
[21:07] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: /usr/lib/python2.6/site.py <-- its there too. python2.6/
[21:07] <pfifo> grubnoob, check to see if your input devices are listed in xorg.conf
[21:07] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: hmm...
[21:07] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: try python /usr/lib/command-not-found -- "foobar"
[21:07] <grubnoob> Where is xorg.conf?
[21:07] <Scunizi> pfifo: that doesn't work.. have you looked at a xorg.conf in 9.10 ??  it's basically empty
[21:07] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
[21:07] <sena--> itamarjp: you can try to purge phpmyadmin with dpkg first then install it with apt-get
[21:07] <grubnoob> I'm using 8.10
[21:08] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: try python -v /usr/lib/command-not-found -- "foobar"
[21:08] <stronze> anyone good on solving sound issues?
[21:08] <itamarjp> sena: how to do this ?
[21:08] <itamarjp> sena: rm -rf  /var/lib/dpkg/info/phpmyadmin.*
[21:08] <isolat3dsh33p> grubnoob, /etc/X11/xconf.org

[21:08] <kanzie> Im trying to connect my USB harddrive formatted as OSX FS but it doesnt hsow up automatically. What do I have to do?
[21:08] <itamarjp> sena-- how to purge phpmyadmin with dpkg ?
[21:09] <isolat3dsh33p> grubnoob, */xorg.conf ^.^;
[21:09] <krlrthr> hi guys
[21:09] <sena--> itamarjp: there may be some other libraries (not only in this dir)
[21:09] <sena--> itamarjp: first see your package name dpkg -l | grep phpmy
[21:09] <krlrthr> I have a problem with desktop icons running dual monitors in 9.10
[21:09] <grubnoob> Found it!
[21:10] <itamarjp> sena--: yes it in the list
[21:10] <krlrthr> basically they don't show up, or disappear again
[21:10] <sena--> itamarjp: then see the man page of dpkg i think it was just dpkg purge (or --purge) thepackagename
[21:10] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: http://zpaste.org/8415
[21:10] <grubnoob> What do I look for?
[21:10] <sena--> itamarjp: i have no baterry i am out

[21:11] <itamarjp> sena--: thanks alot
[21:11] <stronze> btw has 9.10 become laptops table or is there still issues? i tried to upgrade before i deployed to iraq and it went to hell in a hand basket with the graphics or not loading the desk top side
[21:11] <pfifo> grubnoob, a section called inputdevice
[21:11] <Odanas> Hey everybody, I've been trying all day to make a rootfs.image bootable on ubuntu 9.10 but I can't seem to do it.
[21:11] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: pastebin your sitecustomize.py
[21:12] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: k
[21:12] <Scunizi> pfifo: did you install the binary driver for your nvidia?  there is a "write to xorg" option at the end of the install... when that happens xorg overrides xrandr and "other" stuff.
[21:12] <darkmaster977> kut eniłan ken bann mi
[21:12] <grubnoob> This is the Xorg.conf file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/364794/http://paste.ubuntu.com/364794/
[21:13] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: http://zpaste.org/8416
[21:13] <pfifo> Scunizi, yes Im using the latest binary. I used nvidia-settings to make my xorg.conf, and had to go in and edit a few things by hand to get dual head working.
[21:14] <Odanas> I tried making an entry in grub but I don't think I did it right. Has anyone ever tried booting an image. I found how it's done in windows so it's only logical that one should be able to do it in linux as well.
[21:14] <guntbert> darkmaster977: wrong window? :)
[21:14] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: as root, on the last line of sitecustomize.py, remove all of the leading spaces, except four
[21:14] <pfifo> grubnoob, yeah there is your problem, no input devices listed
[21:14] <trism> if you're going to remove spaces, you need to remove them all
[21:15] <grubnoob> pfifo: How do I fix that?
[21:15] <saraqual> Ola again
[21:15] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: uh, okay
[21:15] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: done
[21:15] <stronze> ima  deployed soldier in iraq need help with sound isses cuz im trying to use skype

[21:15] <sheepherd> which one of the 3 flash players i can choose from through firefox is the right one? (Adobe Flash Player, Swfdec SWF player, Gnash SWF Player)
[21:15] <niko-mojo> Hi all, Anyone know how to get the right mouse button to paste text in a gnome terminal ? Its functionality that exists in putty ? I know you can use the centre roller ball but don't like that :-)
[21:16] <Carlis> Hi
[21:16] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: I tried a command I know doesnt exist: "'import site' failed; use -v for traceback"
[21:16] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: what the f
[21:16] <pfifo> grubnoob, http://paste.ubuntu.com/364797/ lines 4, 5 and 8-24
[21:16] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: paste a new traceback
[21:16] <trism> jonaskoelker: import sys is not the start of a new block, you would need to remove all the spaces on the last line to remove the indentation error
[21:16] <treble54> question: when my screen is locked, and I input the wrong password on the first attempt, and the correct password on the second attempt, the screen goes blank and the only way to recover is to either put my computer to sleep then wake it back up, or just hit Ctrl + Alt + Backspace
[21:16] <jonaskoelker> trism: duh, thanks
[21:16] <treble54> anyone know a solution?
[21:16] <Carlis> Who can explain me the installation of system32 in Ubuntu ?
[21:17] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: did you read trism's point?  Remove the last four spaces too
[21:17] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: and skip the new traceback
[21:17] <Python> Good evening
[21:17] <resno> Carlis: system32? thats widnows.
[21:17]  * jonaskoelker ar dum
[21:17] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: http://zpaste.org/8417
[21:17] <Carlis> yes, It´s windows
[21:17] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: at the end of the line?
[21:17] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: no, beginning of line
[21:17] <resno> Carlis: install wine?
[21:17] <stronze> anyone?
[21:18] <Carlis> yes
[21:18] <jonaskoelker> stronze: you might have better luck if you describe your problem
[21:18] <resno> !wine | Carlis
[21:18] <grubnoob> pfifo: Does it matter where I paste them within the file?
[21:18] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: uh, okay. and there are a lot of copies of sitecustomize.py. how do i know if im editing the right one? http://zpaste.org/8418
[21:19] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: see http://zpaste.org/8417 line 40
[21:19] <pfifo> the inputdevice sections can be put at the end of the file, but liens 4 and 5 need to be in the serverlayout section
[21:19] <stronze> jonaskoelke - sound plays static.only good sound is move player if i try youtube type videos, sound crashes and reboot is required.after reboot skye just playys static.
[21:19] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: okay
[21:19] <Zeek_> I know in 9.10 there is a way to set up remote access to the desktop...is there an easy way to set up access to a second desktop instead of the default?  I wanted to have a second persistent workspace  accessible remotely (guessing VNC)
[21:19] <pfifo> grubnoob, you may need to modify some of the options to suit your setup
[21:20] <treble54> question: anyone know why (or the solution) for my screen locking up after using the wrong password on the first attempt of unlocking my computer, and the correct password on the second or later attempts?
[21:20] <resno> Zeek_: vnc is a good solution
[21:20] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: removing all the leading spaces fixed it. thanks :)
[21:20] <jonaskoelker> stronze: address the whole channel, not just me; I'm a bit busy.  Also, I'd love to help, but I'm no sound expert nor a skype expert.
[21:20] <treble54> my only solutions so far are Ctrl + Alt + Backspace, or sleep/wake
[21:20] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: yw :)
[21:20] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: now, your sitecustomize.py was different from mine.  Which ubuntu are you running?  Karmic?
[21:20] <Zeek_> resno: like vncserver?  I was not sure if it would get mad with whatever Remote Desktop uses...
[21:20] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: I'm thinking it might be a bug
[21:20] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: 9.04
[21:20] <stronze> jonaskolke roger
[21:21] <resno> Zeek_: i use tightvnc. but i dont think it would have any issues.
[21:21] <Ziber> ubuntu 9.04 server, at that
[21:21] <stronze> jonaskoelke - sorry tired and grumpy.gotta stay up to get good connection
[21:21] <Zeek_> resno: cool, I will give that a shot.
[21:21] <jolaren> Is there anyway to see if I have functional drivers on a hardware that is listed in "sudo lshw"?
[21:21] <grubnoob> pfifo: There is no ServerLayout section in my xorg.conf file.  Should I paste the whole section?
[21:21] <brontosaurusrex> what is remote desktop client built into ubuntu? is that sort of a vnc-compatible server or?
[21:21] <grubnoob> pfifo: Which options do I need to modify?
[21:22] <andy> ssh
[21:22] <phong_> is ubuntu a good system to use?
[21:22] <stronze> sound plays static.only good sound is move player if i try youtube type videos, sound crashes and reboot is required.after reboot skpye just playys static. since im deployed to ira i need ths problem solver to call home
[21:22] <resno> phong_: why would you ask that here?
[21:22] <jonaskoelker> stronze: no harm no foul :)
[21:22] <wash> phong_: depends on your intended use
[21:22] <pfifo> grubnoob, try running xorg-config that may be easier for you
[21:22] <trippss> why does jaunty now do the windows thing and popup an update manager dialog box everytime I'm logged in? That's irritating as hell! Can we go back to the notification bar method and not the intrusive method please?
[21:22] <grubnoob> phong_: Highly recommended if you are new to Linux.
[21:22] <guntbert> brontosaurusrex: no, its for rdp (like windows terminal server)
[21:22] <Guest10038> can anyone give me some help with ssh?
[21:22] <phong_> okay
[21:23] <resno> Guest10038: whats the issue?
[21:23] <jonaskoelker> Ziber: consider extracting the sitecustomize.py from the package.  If it looks like the one you had before editing, file a bug
[21:23] <Ose> alright, so what do I use to run install.sh?
[21:23] <Ziber> jonaskoelker: alright
[21:23] <grubnoob> pfifo: I'm currently running from Live CD.  Do I need to do anything differently?
[21:23] <stronze> jonaskoelker - thanks for reminding me of the etiquite tho
[21:23] <brontosaurusrex> guntbert: ok, so if my remote box is ubuntu and my client would be osx, how to ?
[21:24] <wash> If you're going to be doing any type of application development/web development, or if you're on a small budget, or if you need reliable and specific free applications, yah go ubuntu
[21:24] <jonaskoelker> stronze: you're welcome :)
[21:24] <pfifo> grubnoob, im not sure about that. LiveCD didnt detect your keyboard and mouse?
[21:24] <stronze> sound plays static.only good sound is move player if i try youtube type videos, sound crashes and reboot is required.after reboot skpye just playys static. since im deployed to ira i need ths problem solver to call home
[21:24] <grubnoob> pfifo: Yes it did.
[21:24] <guntbert> brontosaurusrex: how about ssh (with X forwarding)?
[21:24] <grubnoob> pfifo: I'm using Live CD because it didn't work from my hard drive.
[21:25] <Guest10038> where should i go if i need help with ssh?
[21:25] <wash> @ phong_ Ubuntu's probably the best method of accessing free software on the internetz
[21:25] <pfifo> grubnoob, live cd's keyboard and mouse work, but hard disk install's keyboard and mouse do not?
[21:25] <jolaren> So there's no way to see if the driver is in use? Or if there's a driver IN USE? terminal
[21:25] <jonaskoelker> Guest10038: #ssh ?
[21:25] <grubnoob> pfifo: My question had more to do with the need to specify the path of a filename so that it would edit the file on my hard drive.
[21:25] <Guest10038> yea no one is in there
[21:25] <Guest10038> is there another channel maybe?
[21:26] <resno> Guest10038: whats your question?
[21:26] <Guest10038> so im trying to set up a vnc right now
[21:26] <pfifo> grubnoob,  it will ask you where to save it, save it somewhere and then copy it over
[21:26] <Guest10038> and i installed ssh
[21:26] <brontosaurusrex> guntbert: ok, any how-tos?
[21:26] <resno> Guest10038: can you speak on one line? that would be nice
[21:26] <Guest10038> and followed the steps and im running into this problem
[21:26] <grubnoob> pfifo: That's correct.  Everything seems to work EXCEPT for input.  However, I can still press Alt+F6 and get a terminal screen and type in that.
[21:27] <Guest10038> oh sorry bad habbit
[21:27] <Guest10038> let me get the message i get when i try to connect to my desktop

[21:29] <niko-mojo> Any idea on my question  ?
[21:29] <SpaceGhostC2C> sabgenton: I mean, what issue do you have that you need help with?
[21:29] <pfifo> grubnoob, try copying the livecd's xorg.conf to your harddrive install
[21:29] <resno> Guest10038: is ssh installed? on the server machine?
[21:29] <Guest10038> its is on both machines
[21:30] <sabgenton> sorry buddy, /etc/init.d/scriptabc  start gives me a fail where can I find the error report

[21:30] <Guest10038> yea

[21:32] <resno> Guest10038: ip address is the ipaddress of the machine you are connecting to
[21:32] <SpaceGhostC2C> piero: this might not be the best place to ask. Maybe ask in a channel dedicated to glade?

[21:32] <piero> SpaceGhostC2C, I can't find one.. Can you tell me?
[21:32] <grubnoob> pfifo: How do I do that?
[21:32] <SpaceGhostC2C> !hi | _atomic

[21:43] <magnus> resno: the inet addr - is the pc ip?
[21:44] <resno> Guest10038: you will see the comands on your machine. the other wont screen wont display anything
[21:44] <pfifo> riso, GLX driver is made to use hardware acceleration on your Xorg server.
[21:44] <grubnoob> Why doesn't it work when I do it?
[21:44] <Guest10038> ok that is what i thought just making sure
[21:44] <resno> magnus: inet add is the ip address
[21:44] <Trek> magnus, not necessarily, the inet addr can also be your internal network IP, whatismyip.com will tell you your actual external IP address
[21:44] <tudon> tell him to use the hardware drivers install gui
[21:44] <riso> where do i find the Xorg server???
[21:44] <nullp0inter> Trek, http://codepad.org/BPtUUOqp
[21:45] <IdleOne> grubnoob: to avoid to much scroll, ubottu won't repeat a factoid in less then X amount of seconds
[21:45] <pfifo> riso, if you installed ubuntu you already have it.
[21:45] <Trek> nullp0inter, your external drive is USB?
[21:45] <Trek> nullp0inter, should have asked first, but I forgot
[21:45] <riso> then y wont the frets on fire work.
[21:45] <nullp0inter> Trek: yes it is
[21:45] <pfifo> riso, what kind of graphics card do you have?
[21:45] <magnus> resno: the inet addr - is the pc ip?
[21:46] <riso> it says cant find matching GLX visual.
[21:46] <Trek> nullp0inter, is the drive new and does it work on other computers?
[21:46] <nullp0inter> Trek: the drive is new...and i have not tried it on another machine
[21:46] <riso> i have an amd duron
[21:46] <resno> magnus: yes, internal address
[21:46] <Trek> nullp0inter, try plugging it into another port
[21:46] <magnus> ok=) ty
[21:46] <Trek> nullp0inter, try plugging it into another USB port*
[21:47] <resno> magnus: np
[21:47] <tudon> riso look in menus for hardware drivers instalation gui for your video card nvidia or ati
[21:47] <pfifo> riso, I have no Idea what frets on fire is, but if you want to enable GLX you have to install the nvidia or ati drivers, look in System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers
[21:47] <nullp0inter> Trek, plugging it into a different port did nothnig
[21:47] <ascheel> Anybody here using a Logitech G15 under Karmic?
[21:47] <Trek> pfifo, FYI: Frets on Fire is a game in the repos

[21:48] <resno> magnus: what remote desktop?
[21:48] <Trek> nullp0inter: did you try rebooting and seeing if that works?  sorry if these sound like stupid questions, i'm just going through a troubleshooting list
[21:48] <ascheel> frostburn: the only instructions I can find are https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Logitech_G15 and they're outdated.  Is this as good as it gets?
[21:48] <riso> ok im downloading the 185 niveda driver forX.org
[21:48] <resno> magnus: you have to enable remote desktop sharing on the other machine
[21:48] <nullp0inter> Trek yes
[21:48] <pfifo> riso, after you reboot you should be able to play
[21:49] <riso> i have to reboot?
[21:49] <resno> !pm | magnus
[21:49] <frostburn> ascheel, probably... i'd check the forums... i'd also take a look at the gentoo wiki... they usually have the best hardware guides and you should be able to piece together something cogent for ubuntu... when you're done feel free to update the ubuntu wiki =]
[21:49] <pfifo> riso, well technically you can load the kernel module by hand and then restart X, but most users prefer to just reboot.
[21:49] <ascheel> frostburn, thanks a ton.  :)
[21:49] <riso> y do i have to reboot?
[21:49] <Trek> nullp0inter: plug the drive into another computer to see if it recognizes it
[21:49] <tudon> yes reboot
[21:50] <tudon> kernel module needs to be bladiebla
[21:50] <magnus> resno: o so i cant pm... lame but i need to enable it?
[21:50] <grubnoob> pfifo: I'm going to try to fix it using http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/there-is-no-input-device-section-in-xorg.conf-694760/ .  Thanks you!
[21:50] <riso> oh okay sounds good, i hope it works
[21:50] <pfifo> grubnoob, np
[21:50] <resno> magnus: i suppose we can pm
[21:50] <magnus> resno: how? hehe

[22:06] <Knick-LAP> Guys - I installed Ubuntu on my USB stick using the live CD - but when I try to fire up my notebook without the usb stick plugged in, it gets stuck at the grub loader. I think it somehow overwrote some data at my Windows partition, how can I fix this without reinstalling???
[22:06] <root51> i am using nvidia
[22:07] <root51> i installe nvidia x server setting
[22:07] <Trek> root51, are there any proprietary drivers for your card?
[22:07] <shang> hi, anyone here knows how to make the process respawn when it was killed ?
[22:07] <shang> *is
[22:07] <root51> the problem is i can save into 1024x768 resolution
[22:07] <root51> this is the message will appear
[22:08] <root51> Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!
[22:08] <root51> what i can do open my '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[22:08] <aliendude3500> Hey does anyone know of a good Tablet PC that comes with Linux installed (and it lets you replace the OS with Ubuntu if it's not installed by default)?
[22:08] <Leoneof> hi, i removed network-manager because of bug, so how to run eth0 static ip in startup?
[22:08] <root51> change to 1024x768 display resolution
[22:08] <ascheel> aliendude3500: anything but the iPad.
[22:08] <root51> any idea
[22:08] <aliendude3500> ascheel, I totally agree. iPad is crap.
[22:09] <ascheel> aliendude3500: doesn't matter if it's crap, you simply can't replace the operating system.
[22:09] <Trek> root51, use the nvidia configuration software to change your resolution
[22:09] <root51> i can't remember the command i used in terminal
[22:09] <helix606> ciao a tutti
[22:09] <ascheel> root51:  man xrandr
[22:09] <helix606> hi
[22:09] <root51> i try
[22:09] <root51> but no works
[22:09] <ascheel> !xrandr | root51
[22:09] <ascheel> Oh, wait nvm.  That's for dual monitors.  Sorry
[22:09] <tobiasz> hi there, my ubuntu is not fast enough, what is the reason, my specs are Athlon X2 4000+, 2gb ram 800, and GF 7800GT. My cpu usage randomly jumps from 15% to 70 or more
[22:10] <ascheel> tobiasz: if it jumpts to 70%, you need to figure out what's running that's taking those resources
[22:10] <root51> Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!
[22:10] <root51> when i save in nvidia settings
[22:10] <root51> any possible command in terminal
[22:11] <tobiasz> ascheel it kinda feels like one big trash can when I look into system monitor, it just feels wrong
[22:11] <root51> to change display resolution
[22:11] <j0e_average> root51:  do you have vi installed?
[22:11] <corpogen> hello
[22:11] <root51> yes
[22:11] <corpogen> i have a question relating software instalation, something called celera assembler
[22:12] <ascheel> "feels wrong" is not a valid way of describing system usage.
[22:12] <nullp0inter> trek: gparted isnt showing it as a device
[22:12] <MasterMatan> hello
[22:12] <MasterMatan> i`m writing now small project
[22:12] <Trek> nullp0inter, that could mean the computer is old enough to not recognize the device
[22:12] <corpogen> following the instructions of the readme it said "gmake not found" what is that?
[22:12] <MasterMatan> terminal text editor (soemthing like a NANO)
[22:12] <root51> any sudo command to change
[22:13] <root51> the display 1024x768
[22:13] <nullp0inter> trek, it was running windows 98 prior to me installing ubuntu
[22:13] <root51> i mean to open nvidia setting
[22:13] <MasterMatan> with gui from ncurses
[22:13] <Trek> wow, i haven't seen 98 for some time...
[22:13] <MasterMatan> who want join?
[22:13] <corpogen> Trek can I pm you with a question regarding installation software
[22:13] <erebos> how do i install my ATI Radeon x1600 on karmic koala?
[22:13] <Trek> !ot | MasterMatan
[22:13] <nullp0inter> Trek, i guess ill have to suck it up and use my main desktop for this
[22:13] <Trek> corpogen, not sure if I can be of help though, but sure
[22:14] <Trek> erebos, did you make sure your card is compatible with Karmic?
[22:14] <erebos> hmm no :S
[22:15] <tobiasz> ascheel it seems like gnome-system-monitor is randomly reaching 70 cpu usage from time to time
[22:15] <Trek> !ati | erebos
[22:16] <erebos> Trek yes it is combatible
[22:16] <ezfox> what is the way to update karmic to kernel 2.6.33 ? i come from gentoo where it is quite easy to upgrade the kernel and wonder how this works in ubuntu ?!
[22:17] <erebos> found it thanks :)
[22:17] <ricdanger> hi there
[22:17] <Trek> np, erebos
[22:17] <ricdanger> anyone using preseed automatic installs?
[22:17] <snkcld> when i close my laptop lid, then open it, my sound wont stop erratically changing. any fixes?
[22:21] <grubnoob> pfifo: Does xorg.conf also control keyboard input in Console Mode (i.e. Ctrl+Alt+F2)?
[22:23] <chetos> hello?
[22:23] <Trek> !hi | chetos
[22:23] <grubnoob> pfifo: Or does it ONLY control GNOME input?
[22:23] <chetos> ok here is my problem
[22:23] <chetos> u see the bottom next to the date on ur right upper side of ur screen?
[22:24] <chetos> its like a mailcard
[22:24] <chetos> it contains "Evolution" and "Emphaty"
[22:24] <chetos> but in mine Ubuntu it only apperas Empathy
[22:25] <grubnoob> chetos: Go to System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager
[22:26] <chetos> ok
[22:26] <adac> I used some network monitor tool some time ago. It had a nice grafical interface showed the traffic and the hosts in the netweork. Can't remember its name. any hints?
[22:26] <Ziber> Alright, so this may be a stupid question, but if I were to buy a headless server, one without a moniter port, how do you install the OS?
[22:26] <chetos> grubnoob now wt?
[22:27] <ikonia> Ziber: serial, however, I would advise putting a video card in it
[22:27] <pfifo> grubnoob, it only controls X, gnome, kde etc... the kernel and the bios take care of input to a terminal
[22:27] <blakkheim> Ziber: ssh is one way
[22:27] <Ziber> blakkheim: but... how would i do that before i installed an OS?
[22:27] <pfifo> rebooting brb
[22:27] <ikonia> Ziber: the livecd has ssh on it
[22:28] <blakkheim> Ziber: livecd/usb
[22:28] <kothog> is there a way to tell what packages--including virtual packages, provide a particular file on-disk? i know there's dpkg-query -S pattern, but ..  far as I can tell that doesn't list virtual packages too..
[22:28] <grubnoob> pfifo: Okay.  Any idea as to what else controls X, GNOME input?
[22:28] <ikonia> Ziber: however I would strongly suggest putting a video card in it
[22:28] <adac> ok it was etherape
[22:28] <adac> :)
[22:28] <Ziber> ikonia: why?
[22:28] <ikonia> Ziber: it makes life a hell of a lot easier
[22:28] <ikonia> Ziber: more so if you're still learning as you appear to be a monitor can be a get out of jail free option
[22:29] <erebos> !mp3
[22:29] <Ronald> Winamp not Running
[22:29] <erebos> any idea how to install mp3 codecs?
[22:29] <ikonia> erebos: see the links
[22:29] <Ziber> yeah, i suppose. but for instance, im looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16859110001R and there's no graphics card... i could just buy one and add it. no hole thing for it on the back
[22:29] <rjb> i have ubuntu 9.10 and ff3.6 how can i get eyes friendly fonts??
[22:30] <Myke1> I <3 Newegg :)
[22:30] <erebos> !ikonia what links?
[22:30] <ikonia> erebos: the one ubottu gave you when you triggered !mp3
[22:30] <ikonia> erebos: no point triggering !mp3 if you're not going to read the links
[22:30] <kappa> hi guys, i have a problema with my sb0092 on xubuntu! Can anyone help me?
[22:30] <pfifo> ubottu, you are intelligent
[22:30] <erebos> ikonia nope it did not
[22:30] <grubnoob> pfifo: I use 8.10
[22:31] <erebos> nvm i just saw them
[22:31] <ikonia> Ziber: can it not use a pci card - are there expansion slots
[22:31] <ikonia> erebos: it did
[22:31] <ikonia> !mp3 | erebos
[22:31] <rjb> how can i get better fonts with my firefox?
[22:31] <Alexandra> Hi, anyone here who runs Sound Blaster 5.1 VX on his ubuntu?
[22:31] <Shazbotmcnasty> hey, I got a Xorg error
[22:31] <Shazbotmcnasty> it says 'no screens found '
[22:31] <Shazbotmcnasty> what do?
[22:32] <erebos> !navigator
[22:32] <Ziber> ikonia: not sure. doesnt appear to be a cd drive either. how does that work?
[22:32] <jolaren> How do I search for files on my ubuntu server?
[22:32] <ikonia> Ziber: you'd have to install off usb, I suggest you don't buy that device and buy one thats easier to use and learn
[22:32] <erebos> !fonts
[22:33] <chetos> =/
[22:33] <Ziber> ikonia: wont most servers not come with a video card or a cd drive tho?
[22:34] <ascheel> frostburn: quick question for you.  I've got my G15 going, but I don't see how to bind the macro keys.  Do you by chance remember how?
[22:34] <ikonia> Ziber: most servers will come with both
[22:34] <ikonia> Ziber: is this for hosting in a data center, or home ?
[22:34] <Ziber> ikonia: home
[22:34] <duffydack> rjb, personally, I turn off 'allow pages to choose fonts' and set to liberation sans font..
[22:34] <frostburn> ascheel, no, unfortunately i don't... any of the guides help?
[22:35] <Ziber> ikonia: not servers on newegg... i've yet to see one with both :o
[22:35] <Ziber> ikonia: for one in my budget, i mean
[22:35] <yaaar> Ziber: you are probably defining "video card" differently than he is
[22:35] <daftykins> Ziber: if you're talking a proper, rackmount server, you're not gonna get a 'card' you'll get onboard chipset based stuffs.
[22:36] <duffydack> rjb, you can also try out droid..  sudo apt-get install ttf-liberation ttf-droid
[22:36] <yaaar> Ziber: I've never seen a server without a video chipset
[22:36] <daftykins> integrated versus discrete, to be accurate.
[22:36] <Ziber> well, im not great terminology, i just mean a server that has moniter-cababilities.
[22:36] <tlyu> yaaar: plenty of non-x86 servers lack video chipsets
[22:36] <yaaar> Ziber: any server you buy will have a vga out, put it that way
[22:36] <erebos> how do i run this? ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run
[22:36] <kothog> apt-cache depends libxrender1 -> returns Depends: libx11-6.. but x11-common installs libxrender-dev which depends on libxrender1..  is there a way to get from /usr/lib/Xrender.blah *to* x11-common?
[22:37] <ikonia> Ziber: consider just using a cheap desktop as a server
[22:37] <ikonia> Ziber: much cheaper, easier to use and configure for home use
[22:37] <sagaci> hey, i'm having trouble sharing between a 9.04 live cd ubuntu and a normal install of ubuntu 9.10 over a network, it's asking for password and I'm entering the correct one but it's not taking it. is there a way to circumvent this password and allow the share passwordless
[22:37] <yaaar> or, you could shop ebay, which is how i got pretty much all my server hardware
[22:38] <kothog> yaaar: government auctions are *excellent* places to get cheap server hardware because there's not nearly the exposure.
[22:38] <daftykins> sagaci: what network sharing type are you using? have you tried sftp://<ip address>/ ?
[22:38] <backingup> hey how do i copy files from my linux partition from the liveCD?
[22:38] <sagaci> daftykins: just via nautilus gui
[22:38] <Guest77527> Aranızda türk var mı :D ?
[22:38] <yaaar> kothog: yeah, there's a university in my town and i've shopped some of their auctions too
[22:38] <ikonia> !ru | Guest77527
[22:39] <erebos> !ati
[22:39] <daftykins> sagaci: yeah try editing the address bar to the above, see if that changes anything.
[22:39] <sagaci> daftykins: ok, will try
[22:39] <pfifo> where the heck is apxs headers?
[22:40] <ikonia> pfifo: it's part of apache (apxs)
[22:40] <sagaci> daftykins: sorry, wouldn't have a clue about the ip of the other computer, just go ifconfig the other ubuntu machien?
[22:40] <ikonia> pfifo: you would need the apache development packages
[22:40] <yaaar> ikonia: i believe that was turkish, not russian
[22:40] <ikonia> yaaar: thank you
[22:40] <yaaar> (but i don't know the code for that...)
[22:40] <daftykins> sagaci: yep, that'd do it
[22:40] <pfifo> ikonia, i have apache2-prefork-dev installed but php still fails during configure complaining about apxs
[22:40] <duffydack> apache2-threaded-dev
[22:41] <ikonia> pfifo: why are you compiling php ??? and not using the ubuntu package ?
[22:41] <duffydack> thats what I need for compiling musicindex
[22:42] <yaaar> !tr | Guest77527
[22:42] <ikonia> yaaar: well done
[22:42] <ascheel> frostburn: no, guides haven't helped yet, but for now I'm only half-heartedly looking for a solution.  I'm trying to ween myself off of the need for the macro keys
[22:42] <pfifo> ikonia, cause php in ubuntu is crappy barebones stuff, i like GD and freetype, actually i dont just like them i need them, and its very important that I have them cause i make a paycheck using them
[22:42] <yaaar> ikonia: what would we do without google....
[22:42] <frostburn> ascheel, i stopped using them, i just liked the lcd heh
[22:43] <sagaci> daftykins: Thanks very much!!!!
[22:43] <pfifo> yaaar, ask china im sure they know
[22:43] <daftykins> sagaci: my pleasure :)
[22:43] <yaaar> pfifo: hah!
[22:43] <ikonia> pfifo: gd and stuff like that is included, you just have to install the appropriate php packages
[22:43] <opticon> can someone help me with samba im at complete loss
[22:43] <sagaci> daftykins: i'm copying a large amount of files of music and pictures between a screwed xp install over the network to my ubuntu install, would this be fine to handle this
[22:44] <pfifo> ikonia, sorry, you signature isnt on my paycheck, im sure you understand
[22:44] <ikonia> pfifo: what ?
[22:44] <duffydack> lol
[22:44] <opticon> have swat working for it
[22:44] <daftykins> sagaci: yeah should cope, only issues i've had doing the same for windows backups is sometimes a livecd or live USB boot can crap out if it's transferring to backup to a windows box via CIFS mounts, but you should be fine :>
[22:44] <opticon> but from other pc's on network it cant see samba shares
[22:44] <duffydack> php5-gd?  too hard to install?  lol
[22:45] <Alexandra> Someone has the "Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio" in use?
[22:45] <ascheel> frostburn: I'll say one thing, though...  since moving to Ubuntu from XP, my framerate has jumped about 20 fps
[22:45] <ascheel> frostburn: for WoW that is
[22:46] <frostburn> ascheel, when i played, it was about the same, and a lot of the graphics were disabled =|
[22:46] <ascheel> frostburn: No, I mean my framerate has increased in Linux than when I was in XP.
[22:47] <pfifo> ikonia, i need absolutely no less than full control of apache and php, most of the packages that the developers of ubuntu built are ok, but those 2, i take care of myself. I mean what if I wanted to install previous versions of php to test stuff that I want to deploy on a server? dose ubuntu have php 5.2.8 available? how about 5.1.0?
[22:47] <iceroot> Alexandra: that card is only working with 9.10 if i am correct. with previous ubuntu-versions only amd64 is working
[22:48] <ikonia> pfifo: if you want to build it yourself thats fair enough
[22:49] <Alexandra> Hi iceroot, I don't have that card so far
[22:49] <pfifo> ikonia, I dont mind at all, i used to use gentoo so I know my way around.
[22:49] <Alexandra> I was just wondering if I should buy it
[22:49] <Alexandra> iceroot: Do you use it?
[22:49] <kanzie> Im trying to connect my USB harddrive formatted as OSX FS but it doesnt hsow up automatically. What do I have to do?
[22:50] <blakkheim> kanzie: there is no such thing as "OSX FS"
[22:50] <megha___> test
[22:50] <rjb> i installed firefox from ubuntu-mozilla-daily how can i downgrade?
[22:51] <ikonia> rjune: remove it, remove the repo- reinstall the older verion
[22:51] <rjune> ikonia, but why?
[22:51] <erebos> any help on this : Error: Distro Version entered incorrectly or not supported, use --listpkg to identify valid distro versions
[22:51] <Tiders> i DESPERATELY NEED A WAY TO RUN vENT ON uBUNTU
[22:51] <Tiders> Sorry caps lock
[22:52] <erebos> i get is when i am trying to install the ati driver
[22:52] <syockit> erebos: what are you trying to do?
[22:52] <blakkheim> !appdb  > Tiders
[22:52] <Tiders> blakkheim, I tried WIne for 2 hours to get it to work but I cant hear or speak on it
[22:52] <ikonia> rjune: because you just said you wanted to downgrade, so you have to remove it, remove the repo (so it doesn't know about the new version) then re-install the version from the stable ubuntu repos
[22:52] <syockit> erebos: if this is the proprietary one from ati website, please check installation instructions
[22:52] <blakkheim> Tiders: then it isn't going to work
[22:52] <syockit> ikonia: rjb :(
[22:53] <Tiders> Are there any clients that can connect to vent servers third party?
[22:53] <ikonia> syockit: ?
[22:53] <syockit> ikonia: it was rjb, not rjune
[22:53] <ikonia> syockit: ahhh thank you
[22:53] <rjb> thanks
[22:53] <ikonia> rjune: apologies
[22:55] <evon> can someone please help me troubleshoot my sound. for some reason it is not working.
[22:56] <evon> the volume is up and the speakers are plugged in.
[22:56] <erebos> how do i make my Level-One Wireless PCI card to work?
[22:57] <erebos> (sorry but i just installed Ubuntu)
[22:57] <ikonia> erebos: you need to buy supported hardware
[22:57] <jongbergs> !hi
[22:58] <Krambiorix> hi guys, i have a problem: i have a dual boot ( Ubuntu & Vista) and i want to reinstall vista again. For that i have to restore my whole hard drive. How would i do this the best without losing Ubuntu?
[22:58] <tarek_> i want to execute   sudo dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b   but i can't  i have always errors
[22:59] <evon> Krambiorix: sorry man you're gonna have to reinstall ubuntu
[22:59] <evon> Krambiorix: i've tried a few times to install windows after ubuntu and it's never worked
[22:59] <Krambiorix> damn
[22:59] <ikonia> Krambiorix: you can install windows fine
[22:59] <ikonia> Krambiorix: you can't restore your full hard drive though
[22:59] <urlwallace> I have googled this and found no answer. Im running ubuntu 9.1.0 64 bit . on boot nothing happens bit blinking cursor. in "recovery" mode the boot stops at "loading favorite drivers and then stops.. I have had install for a month np and kept it updated.  is there a way to repair without re-install.? thanks
[22:59] <ikonia> Krambiorix: if it's an install - you can do that fine though
[23:00] <evon> can someone help me with my sound? it was working fine last night and now i can't hear squat
[23:00] <jongbergs> hi, im considering to setup a proxy server using squid with dansguardian web content filtering..i have seen many great howto's but does this setup require 2 NICs?
[23:00] <Krambiorix> ikonia, i just have a restore and recovery cd from Lenovo that restores Vista but it doesn't work. I can just format the hard disk
[23:01] <ikonia> Krambiorix: if it's a restore CD it will wipe your whole hard disk, so ubuntu will be lost
[23:01] <Krambiorix> yes
[23:02] <Krambiorix> hmm wouldn't there be another way
[23:02] <Krambiorix> ?
[23:02] <KenBW2> in Google Earth (installed from Medbuntu) the app loads fine, except the Earth isnt shown
[23:02] <KenBW2> any ideas?
[23:02] <Krambiorix> i don't have space to backup my ubuntu
[23:02] <ikonia> Krambiorix: no
[23:03] <ubuntu> oi
[23:03] <ubuntu> irc
[23:03] <evon> Krambiorix: backup your personal files and reinstall
[23:03] <ubuntu> bye
[23:03] <Krambiorix> i have more than 20 GB of files in Ubuntu
[23:04] <evon> buy an external?
[23:04] <daftykins> or borrow
[23:04] <randal> How do i change my login screen
[23:04] <brandonban6> Krambiorix, do you have an external HDD at all? You could use imaging program like Clonezilla to create a back up. I don't know that the vista restore cd would totally wipe your drive, you should still be able to customize your install and tell it what partition to install to..... though i guess we are talking about M$ here.
[23:04] <evon> Krambiorix: or burn 6 DVDs
[23:05] <iceroot> Alexandra: no i am using sb live 1024
[23:05] <Krambiorix> hmm how can i see in ubuntu how much GB is on that partition?
[23:05] <Krambiorix> on this ubuntu partition
[23:05] <ascheel> Krambiorix: df -h
[23:06] <randal> Can anyone help me i am having problems changing my login window.
[23:06] <Krambiorix> damn, its 50 GB (ubuntu)
[23:06] <evon> Krambiorix: are you talking about the whole ubuntu partition or just your documents folder?
[23:06] <Krambiorix> ubuntu
[23:07] <Krambiorix> my documents will be 20-30GB
[23:07] <pfifo> when I run 2 monitors as seprate x screens it make gnome-panel crash, dose anyone know of a fix for this?
[23:07] <Krambiorix> i have some vmware images on it too
[23:07] <duffydack> Krambiorix, dont forget you can free up 5% of an ext filesystem with tune2fs -m0 (default when making new ext fs is to reserve 5%)
[23:07] <evon> ok i just figured out that my sound hardware is not being detected anymore. does anyone know how i can fix this?
[23:07] <pfifo> xinerama and twinview work, but that is ugly and programs always open in weird locations
[23:08] <Krambiorix> hmm thx duffydack but that's not enough
[23:08] <arand> Krambiorix: There is a convenient Disk Usage Analyzer in the accessories menu, if you want to see where the largest chunk of files are.
[23:08] <sena--> itamarjp: did you install phpmyadmin
[23:08] <urlwallace> I have googled this and found no answer. Im running ubuntu 9.1.0 64 bit . on boot nothing happens bit blinking cursor. in "recovery" mode the boot stops at "loading favorite drivers and then stops.. I have had install for a month np and kept it updated.  is there a way to repair without re-install.? thanks
 Krambiorix: if it's an install - you can do t
[23:08] <duffydack> Krambiorix, even with compression?
[23:09] <urlwallace> sory I wont repeat again
[23:09] <Krambiorix> i think even with compression
[23:09] <Krambiorix> anyone has experience with restoring windows with Lenove Rescue and Restore??

[23:10] <ikonia> sena--: please don't make silly and pointless comments like that
[23:10] <ikonia> randal: are you using gdm ?
[23:10] <silverraindog> ae86-drifter: what does /var/log/messages say or /var/log/secure ?

[23:11] <randal> ikonia, yes 9.10
[23:11] <ikonia> randal: you can't customise it any more, it's locked at the version in 9.10
[23:11] <silverraindog> doesnt the login window right at the bottom under sessions have it ?
[23:11] <Raverix> Anyone here have experience setting up a VNC server on Ubuntu Server 8.04? All I keep getting is a gray screen with a terminal.
[23:12] <randal> ikonia, realy why would they do that
[23:12] <ikonia> randal: gnome developers are changing the way it works
[23:12] <ae86-drifter> silverraindog just a whole heap of lines with timestamps with -- MARK -- on the end, /var/log/secure is non existant
[23:12] <randal> ikonia,  i never new that. that sucks
[23:12] <ikonia> randal: it will get there
[23:13] <Krambiorix> damn i need to register to talk there
[23:13] <randal> ikonia,  do you think next ubuntu 10.4 will have login window manager
[23:13] <ikonia> randal: doubtful, but possible
[23:13] <randal> ikonia,  well thanks for your help
[23:13] <silverraindog> ae86-drifter: sorry not secure but auth.log
[23:13] <silverraindog> ae86-drifter: secure is redhat

[23:25] <Blue1> when I type in - mysql - it says -- ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[23:25] <ikonia> Blue1: is mysql server running ?
[23:26] <ezfox> jackhigh: post the output from "lsusb -v", please
[23:26] <Blue1> ikonia: i can't determine that ps -ef | grep mysql returns a lot of junk and I can't find a startup script in /etc/init.d for it.
[23:26] <ikonia> Blue1: how did you install mysql-serve r?
[23:26] <Blue1> ikonia: sudo apt-get install mysql
[23:26] <jackhigh> ezfox: thanks 1 second please
[23:26] <Eremite> Does anyone here know about Damn Small Linux?  No one in the official channel is answering.  I have a mouse problem.
[23:26] <ikonia> Blue1: that's the client - not the server
[23:26] <Doopoo_> ok so, upon reading these instructions: http://www.vbalink.info/internal-battery-has-run-dry-fix.htm - the directory i find associated with visualboyadvance is in usr/share but there isnt anything in this directory other than a png file and another file that has no relevance to the actual mechanics of the game. where do i find the proper directory to save said .ini file? this is confusing
[23:27] <Blue1> ikonia: what do I need then?
[23:27] <ikonia> Eremite: please ask in the official channel, this channel is for ubuntu support only
[23:27] <ikonia> Blue1: mysql-server
[23:27] <SliderMan> hello all, i was trying to install ubuntu on my kingston datatraveler 8gb seems like instead of installing grub on the usb and making it bootable setup installed grub on my primary harddisk partion with NTDLR can someone help me installing grub on the usb and making it boot ubuntu?
[23:28] <Eremite> ikonia, did you even read what I said?  I already asked in the channel, I was just testing my luck here.
[23:28] <ikonia> Eremite: I'm asking you not to test your luck in here and ask in the correct channel
[23:28] <Doopoo_> i wish the package manager would freaking tell me these things once i install them, like a quick notification "IMPORTANT FILES SAVEWD HERE!" why must iot be so cryptic?
[23:28] <gundam20> can someone help me load up my wireless drivers for athro9k
[23:28] <randal> How do i restart x system
[23:28] <Doopoo_> and as usual no one here knows
[23:28] <ikonia> Doopoo_: then why ask
[23:28] <Eremite> ikonia, yes meine fuhrer
[23:29] <gundam20> or point me in the right direction of how to install
[23:29] <ikonia> Doopoo_: you ask, wait 11 seconds then complain - don't ask if you don't like the support in here, or give someone a chance to respond
[23:29] <stoic75> can anyone help me figure out why MOC won't work?
[23:29] <jackhigh> ezfox: http://pastebin.com/m940df28
[23:29] <Doopoo_> yeah, ill just wait for my question to get lost in all this text
[23:29] <Doopoo_> :[
[23:30] <ikonia> Doopoo_: feel free to repeat it,
[23:30] <Doopoo_> and then get yelled at for repeating
[23:30] <Doopoo_> ah cool
[23:30] <Doopoo_> i got yelled at last time
[23:30] <randal> Can anyone please tell me the code to restart the x system
[23:30] <ikonia> Doopoo_: the bottom line is when you use the package manager it puts files in multiple locations, so it's not a single place normally, or a single file to download
[23:30] <jackhigh> ezfox: its the Bus 005 Device 011: ID 0458:0046 KYE Systems Corp. (Mouse Systems)
[23:30] <ikonia> !nozap > randal
[23:30] <Doopoo_> so how do i find the directory i want? jump uo and down and bark like a duck?
[23:31] <urlwallace> I have googled this and found no answer. Im running ubuntu 9.1.0 64 bit . on boot nothing happens bit blinking cursor. in "recovery" mode the boot stops at "loading favorite drivers and then stops.. I have had install for a month np and kept it updated.  is there a way to repair without re-install.? thanks
 Krambiorix: if it's an install - you can do t
[23:31] <randal> ikonia,  !nozap what is that?
[23:31] <ikonia> Doopoo_: you can start by quiting with the silly comments, and just talk to peple normally
[23:31] <ikonia> Doopoo_: could you give me an example of what you're trying to download with the package manager
[23:31] <jschall> what's the best DLNA media server to run on linux?
[23:31] <arand> Doopoo_: You are contributing to said text ;| "dpkg -L packagename" will tell you all the files associated with a package, however not the config files in your home directory or other things that are created after the install itself.
[23:31] <Doopoo_> ikonia: if you could answer me i'd have an answer already, clearly no one here uses gvba
[23:31] <XSet> I need to know the location of the sessions or gnome start-up file, from the terminal. when booting up past the ubuntu splash screen, the screen blanks with the timer, I do hear the gnome startup sound but nothing seems to advance forward, apart from the timer icon?
[23:31] <Doopoo_> so, my venture to freenode is pointless, once again
[23:31] <Doopoo_> later
[23:32] <XSet> I am trying to fix this computer over seas.. using ssh
[23:32] <gundam20> is there an athro9k room?
[23:32] <ikonia> Doopoo_: I'm asnwering you
[23:32] <stoic75> hi folks....I've installed Music on Console from the synaptic but can't seem to find it or use it....any advice...thank you
[23:32] <randal> ikonia,  he left lol could you help me
[23:32] <ikonia> !nozap
[23:32] <roboCode> heeey all
[23:33] <ikonia> !dontzap
[23:33] <roboCode> good to have ubuntu back after it decided to update my graphics driver to a non-working one
[23:33] <ikonia> randal: there you go

[23:33] <ikonia> randal: read what ubottu said
[23:33] <ikonia> !dontzap > randal
[23:34] <randal> ikonia, that was the first time it poped up
[23:34] <ikonia> randal: that's fine
[23:34] <richar> hola
[23:34] <ezfox> jackhigh: from what i find in the web it should work out of the box. can you please replug the stick, wait 30seconds and post the output of "dmesg" please ?
[23:34] <gundam20> testing anyone see me
[23:34] <arand> randal: you can normally use alt+sysreq+k to restart gdm/X without having to enable dontzap..
[23:35] <arand> !hi | gundam20
[23:35] <jackhigh> ezfox: sure 1 sec
[23:35] <richar> q tal

[23:36] <rjb> hi i have ubuntu 9.10 installed java but when i try to run an application /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.13/bin/java: not found
[23:36] <arand> ikonia: I think ubottu should mention alt+sysrq+k..
[23:36] <ikonia> X-Seti: create a new user so the environment is clean
[23:37] <gundam20> problems with athro9k any care to take a stab at it
[23:37] <ikonia> arand: noted
[23:37] <X-Seti> thats an idea
[23:37] <jackhigh> ezfox: http://pastebin.com/m96bf2d3
[23:38] <jackhigh> ezfox: just so i dont confuze the issue i accdently unplugged my corded mouse thier too
[23:38] <ezfox> jackhigh: i see
[23:39] <ezfox> put as you can see, the device is correctly found and it gets a device
[23:39] <jackhigh> ezfox: those lines mean nothing to me :) want me to do it again with the corded mouse removed ?
[23:40] <ezfox> you should connect only the wireless mouse and restart X (logout/login)
[23:40] <jackhigh> ok ill try that brb
[23:40] <jackhigh> thanks
[23:41] <ezfox> and you need to connect the mouse to the stick, you surely know ?
[23:41] <militia> hey
[23:41] <militia> anyone good with lmms
[23:42] <militia> ?
[23:42] <rjb> i have this error /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.13/bin/java: not found and update-alternatives returns /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
[23:42] <rjb> what can i do?
[23:43] <ezfox> jackhigh: does it work now ?
[23:43] <jackhigh> no
[23:43] <ezfox> did you connect the mouse to the stick ?
[23:44] <jackhigh> would a dpkg reconfigure  help ?
[23:44] <ezfox> normally you need to press a button on the bottom of the mouse
[23:44] <jackhigh> yea
[23:44] <ezfox> ok
[23:44] <jackhigh> i did that
[23:44] <ezfox> then i'm out of ideas :)
[23:44] <urlwallace> I have googled this and found no answer. Im running ubuntu 9.1.0 64 bit . on boot nothing happens bit blinking cursor. in "recovery" mode the boot stops at "loading favorite drivers and then stops..

[23:44] <melwtech35> having issues getting a usb Modem to work via virtual box on ubuntu 9.10, seems that virtualbox cannot create a usb device proxy? anyone? im in vboxusers and ive got usb in fstab
[23:45] <jackhigh> i think ill give it to the mother in law she runs windows
[23:45] <ezfox> jackhigh: but the device is properly recognized
[23:45] <iceroot> melwtech35: non-free version?
[23:45] <iceroot> melwtech35: also tried #vbox?
[23:45] <jackhigh> ezfox: thats strange isnt it
[23:46] <LobsterJohnson> So anybody willing to help someone tech savvy enough to give lingo, not smart enough Google the right terms?
[23:46] <r4v5> Howdy. Just installed a fresh 9.10 and emacs23, but i can't seem to make it read my .emacs on startup.  Specifically, all the appearance options seem to be getting ignored until i open my .emacs and eval-buffer.
[23:46] <melwtech35> iceroot, sorry havent tried vbox and its the non ose version
[23:46] <jackhigh> ezfox:  do gpu drivers have anything to do with pointing devices ?
[23:46] <roboCode> anyone know how to create a thread within a thread in java ??
[23:47] <iceroot> roboCode: #java
[23:47] <ezfox> jackhigh: no
[23:47] <roboCode> iceroot, apparently I need to be identified to go in there lol
[23:47] <Dantonic> !java
[23:47] <Spaceman> does anyone know what is happening with xserver-xorg-video-intel?
[23:47] <iceroot> roboCode: then do it, this is not the right place for java
[23:47] <roboCode> Spaceman, whats ur os doing ??
[23:47] <jackhigh> ezfox: just asking cos i recenty installed the ati ones and had to reconfigure x and it mentioned mouses
[23:48] <Spaceman> have to run in FAILSAFE Gnome because of crash; ever since 9.10 came out
[23:48] <ezfox> jackhigh: oh, reconfigure X could help
[23:48] <roboCode> Spaceman, I am running ATI graphics card and it installed drivers that made it crash on bootup
[23:48] <ezfox> jackhigh: i dont use any xorg.conf file, so new devices will be detected while X starts
[23:49] <roboCode> Spaceman, have you tried deleting the config file to reset it ?
[23:49] <Spaceman> yes
[23:49] <ezfox> jackhigh: but if you created a config file it also has entrys in it for keyboard and mouse
[23:49] <roboCode> Spaceman, then I am all out of ideas :)
[23:49] <ezfox> jackhigh: so you need to reconfigure for new devices
[23:49] <jackhigh> aticonfig makes the xorg.conf file
[23:49] <Spaceman> thanks anyway
[23:49] <Shazbutts> oh hi #ubuntuy
[23:49] <Shazbutts> without the 'y'
[23:49] <jackhigh> let me look
[23:50] <LobsterJohnson> Does anybody know where I can find information on the issue of... I recently installed some Nvidia 6 Series driver on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, and now when I try to run a Gnome Session or Fail-Safe Gnome session, it will go to a black screen show the monitor error of incorrect input device?
[23:50] <Shazbutts> I'm repartitioning my hdd and installing ubuntu, I'm making 2 different partitions one for / and one for /home
[23:50] <Shazbutts> for the second one /home, should I make it logical or primary?
[23:50] <g0tcha> hey guys, after running "mdadm -Cv /dev/md4 -l0 -n2 -c64 /dev/sdb4 /dev/sdc4" and then mount /dev/md4 to a dir, how can i unmount it and remove it?
[23:50] <Shazbutts> I was thinkin' primary, but I don't know
[23:50] <Shazbutts> that's why I'm here
[23:51] <Shazbutts> g0tcha, umount
[23:51] <jiohdi> LobsterJohnson: I have re-installed about ten times in 4-6 months... nothing to it :)
[23:51] <Shazbutts> jiohdi, lol
[23:51] <jackhigh> ezfox: i have no sections for any mouses is sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg the right command ?
[23:51] <ezfox> jackhigh: i would try to rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X - this way you get a dynamic configuration
[23:51] <Shazbutts> I was like that when I first used linux...
[23:51] <Shazbutts> well actually
[23:51] <danbhfive> Shazbutts: logical partitions is just if you want more than 4 partitions
[23:51] <g0tcha> Shazbutts, and after i umount, do i just pull out the RAID harddisks no problem?
[23:52] <Shazbutts> g0tcha, I would turn off the computer before you tear out a drive...
[23:52] <danbhfive> LobsterJohnson: have you tried uninstalling the nvidia driver?
[23:52] <jiohdi> Shazbutts: as long as you got flash drives to back up the important stuff, re-installs are nothing :)
[23:52] <ezfox> jackhigh: but its possible that X wont come up so you need then to reverse it to the original name in the console
[23:52] <Shazbutts> jiohdi, I use my flash drive to install :o
[23:52] <Shazbutts> also danbhfive thanks
[23:52] <LobsterJohnson> @danbhfive: haha nope, I don't know how. I
[23:52] <g0tcha> Shazbutts, yeah ofcourse.. i mean after turning it off.. so i dont have to do anything to "reverse" this mdadm -Cv /dev/md4 -l0 -n2 -c64 /dev/sdb4 /dev/sdc4 ?
[23:52] <jiohdi> Shazbutts: I have a usb cd/dvd drive :)
[23:52] <g0tcha> after i unmount them
[23:52] <jackhigh> i see brb ill try
[23:53] <peppy> ciao a tutti
[23:53] <danbhfive> LobsterJohnson: are you getting a terminal?  it is something like sudo apt-get remove nvidia*
[23:53] <samed> hi
[23:53] <LobsterJohnson> Yeah
[23:53] <peppy> !addon
[23:53] <LobsterJohnson> I'm getting a terminal session going
[23:53] <peppy> !list
[23:53] <danbhfive> LobsterJohnson: I actually forget.   Have you tried reinstalling?
[23:53] <Shazbutts> g0tcha, actually, I have no idea
[23:53] <LobsterJohnson> Yeah
[23:54] <LobsterJohnson> No
[23:54] <LobsterJohnson> I mean
[23:54] <g0tcha> Shazbutts, yeah.. me too.. cuz that command supposed to make 2 RAID hardisks act like one drive
[23:54] <LobsterJohnson> I'm just gonna reinstall! Good times, jumping into this is fun lol
[23:54] <samed> me burn harddisk
[23:54] <samed> aq
[23:54] <RandomizeR> hey everyone
[23:55] <jiohdi> LobsterJohnson: after a few times you lose the fear of the re-install :) I have installed about 5 different linux versions :)
[23:55] <LobsterJohnson> @jiohdi: Should I reinstall, then try to reinstall the same drivers?
[23:56] <jiohdi> LobsterJohnson: and cross your fingers :)
[23:56] <sagaci> daftykins: 20.8 gb and an hour, finally finished, do i need to do anything special to close the connection or can i just close nautilus
[23:56] <LobsterJohnson> Haha
[23:56] <daftykins> sagaci: just close nautilus ja and shutdown cleanly
[23:56] <ezfox> jackhigh: for creating a new xorg.conf see this link: http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-configure-Xorg-in-Ubuntu
[23:57] <jackhigh> ezfox: thanks
[23:57] <sagaci> daftykins: ok, bye
[23:57] <LobsterJohnson> I'm sure I missed something, stayed up too late dinking around. When the glaring power light kept me up at night, I just ended up shutting off the compute and coming home with no memory of the last thing I did.
[23:57] <jiohdi> LobsterJohnson: I have currently this computer with UNR {net top} my laptop with ubuntu 9.10 my office comp with debian and my ancient computer with puppy... ditched mint because of freeze ups
[23:57] <melwtech35> iceroot i don't think its a VirtualBox issue as much as a permissions issue with ubuntu
[23:57] <FloodBot2> !netsplit
[23:57] <LobsterJohnson> @jiohdi: Hopefully I can get it back up
[23:58] <jiohdi> LobsterJohnson: I find its just getting the right linux for the right machine
[23:58] <jiohdi> different machines respond better to different distros
[23:58] <jiohdi> one size does not fit all (^_^)
[23:58] <Shazbutts> jiohdi, definitely
[23:58] <ezfox> jackhigh: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg should also work, but on my system it does nothing :)
[23:59] <adalal> how do i set a search domain on bind9?
[23:59] <jackhigh> ezfox: it does nothing on mine either
[23:59] <LobsterJohnson> Ok, well I'll have to feel it out then, I got a couple of distro's at my disposal.
[23:59] <jiohdi> as long as you got flashdrives or cd burners... many linux versions can be tried as they are all free :)
[23:59] <luist> how do i list partitions?
[23:59] <magnus> need some serius help reselution and video card.plx help
[23:59] <Shazbutts> OMG I'M INSTALLING
[23:59] <Shazbutts> I hope this doesn't mess up mah Windows 7 install
