LiveCDtroubleanybody familiar with customizing the livecd? in particular, the "F2" boot menu editing within chroot...00:07
unixalotgeo: these are the 2.4 drivers00:07
NET||abuseIdleOne, right clicking on the nm-applet and looking at the  Enable Networking and Enable Wireless   checkboxes, the Wireless one is greyed out.00:07
unixalotgeo: and you have to do all that then go in synaptic and type in xorg-video00:08
unixalotgeo: then use the 2.400:08
unixalotgeo: were you trying to change it threw the xorg.conf?00:08
geounixalot: no..00:09

ubottuUse hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly.00:19
MenZaunop: That's what I thought; but /etc/hostname doesn't exist00:19

NET||abusei'm at my witt's end here,, why does nm-applet / network manager not understand my wireless ? Using standard bcm4328 with STA driver, it knows eth5 is a wifi card, it just greys out the Enable Wireless option??00:24
archboxmanNET||abuse: I was not yesterday was I00:25
unixalotNET||abuse: Is there a physical switch for your wifi?00:25
NET||abusearchboxman, sorry?00:25
Jef91NET||abuse - what Ubuntu version?00:25
NET||abuseunixalot, yes, there is but it is on,, I have been putting up with this problem for 3 weeks.00:25
unixalotNET||abuse: What ubuntu do you use?00:26
NET||abuseunimatrix, it flaked out about a moth ago, i have tried on an off to re-install all drivers, tried fwcutter, everything, nm-applet will not let me enable wireless,, on command line i can do iwlist eth5 scanning and i see all the networks around00:26
NET||abuseunixalot, Jef91 karmic00:26
archboxmanNET||abuse: Does the SAT driver work??? I helped a person with a dell netbook with the same wifi card built in does that work for you card???00:26
NET||abusearchboxman, what is SAT?00:27
archboxmanNET||abuse: meant STA broadcom driver does it work???00:27
unixalotNET||abuse: can you paste the results of lspci00:27
NET||abusearchboxman, this is latitude d630 with bcm4328 rev 03, i am using the STA right now and with that i can iwlist eth5 scanning.00:28
fbc-mxhelp! How do I move my home directory to a new machine? I tried a live CD but I can't copy folders that I don't have permission to in my home dir.00:28
unixalothave you tried like ifconfig down, then up?? lol00:28
unixalotMine was doing this a long time ago but i forget how i fixed it, I think it was physically switched off00:28
panfistis debian only insecure because it's not as updated or through some other flaw? do you have a citation?00:29
amageecan i make a particular command that normally requires root (eg. apache2ctl) runnable by a particular non-root user, without asking for a password?00:29
NET||abuseunixalot, this is not physically switched off, i have even demanded a new card from dell which they delivered today, i've switched it back and forward 4 times and no change, the physical switch is definately NOT switched off00:29
Jef91amagee - yes but it is not recommended00:29
panfistnevermind00:29
amageeJef91: meh.. how do i do it?00:29
greezmunkeyNET||abuse, I found a tip that worked for me. Edit /etc/network/interfaces - Comment out the line "auto lo", and any other lines that include interfaces that you want NM to "manage" once done sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart, and try again.00:30
m3rcIf my nic is using the wrong driver, how do I get it to use a different one afer I modprobe the driver?00:30
archboxmanNET||abuse: I now there was other driver available a BSQ I beleibe it was also would work with the same wifi card is there a other option for driver in system > administation > hardware drivers???00:30
Jef91Amagee - I don't recall off hand, let me look up how I did it *searches for the thread*00:30
amageeok thanks00:30
Oli``m3rc: rmmod the wrong one first, then modprobe the right one00:30
NET||abusearchboxman, no, the admin->hardware drivers only shows the STA as an option.00:30
bastidrazorNET||abuse: possibly nm-applet is looking for a wlan0 before allowing you to enable wireless.. how to change eth5 to wlan0 that i don't know though.00:30
Oli``m3rc: then blacklist the wrong one to stop it loading on boot00:31
unixalotNET||abuse: alright, what about your users00:31
m3rcOli``: did those but it's not associating the new driver with the nic00:31
unixalotLike00:31
NET||abusebastidrazor, that's just weird. ..00:31
unixalotNET||abuse: have you tried to sudo nm00:31
Jef91amagee: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1148021&highlight=root - let me know if you need anything there cleared up00:31
NET||abuseunimatrix, will try sudo nm- now one sec.00:32

Jef91amagee - lol kk00:33
_TristanJef91: I don't know. It works with the installation of the same os/version on another partition.00:33
unixalotNET||abuse: i would try the bum, and enable policy kit, when that work, or doesnt work i recomment creating a new userand trying nm00:33
CarlisHow do i do to open office to check the spanish words ?00:34
amageeJef91: yeah that seems to be exactly what i want, thanks00:34
Jef91_Tristan Does ifconfig in terminal list the card?00:34
Jef91amagee - np00:34
toastedmilkDoes anyone know the terminal command(apt, perhaps) to see if I have fglrx packages installed?00:34
NET||abuseunixalot, it's weird as this behaviour occured a while back, i re-seated the ahrdware, and it worked again for 3 days, then it failed again.00:34
CarlisHow do i do to open office to check the spanish words ?00:34
Jef91Carlis - is your default Ubuntu language spanish?00:34
greezmunkeyIdleOne, I used to advise that myself, but I have reconsidered. I have NM working on this box, with on demand VPN (which is really handy) The thing is that there are some things you *have* to do to your system before NM will work correctly.00:34
Carlisno Jef9100:35
IdleOnegreezmunkey: maybe you could guide NET||abuse. I have no wifi card so don't have these issues00:35
AluminLosha: cool...that's what I did by hand, was just looking for something a little more "one-liner" :)00:35
archboxmanunixalot: why is every time ubuntu puts out a new version they end up with so many problems for kernel, hardware, interupt problems and just overall setup???00:35
m3rcI have a nic that defaults to using via_rhine but I need it to use rtl8139too. How do I associate the nic to the new driver?00:35
unixalotNET||abuse: so this is possibly a hardware issues... what is greyed out in nm=applet?00:35
Aluminwhich it looks like there is, with the service command...it's just not installed by default00:35
unixalotarchboxman: No idea, im still using jaunty..00:35
Alumintoo bad, but...you can't win 'em all :)00:35
greezmunkeyIdleOne, I posted one potential correction for (him/her) earlier :)00:35
NET||abuseunimatrix, the "Enable Wireless" checkbox is greyed out.00:36
NET||abuseunixalot,  i meant... arg.00:36
_TristanJef91: http://pastebin.com/mc6aedbe00:36
Jef91Carlis - Try: Tools->Options->Languages00:36
NET||abuseunixalot, so the "Enable Wireless" checkbox is disabled.00:36
Carlisdo i do that steps in oo ??00:36
m3rcCarlis: yes00:36
archboxmanunixalot: this is why I wont go back to ubuntu every update seems to get more bloated and more problems... I will stick with archlinux :)00:37
Carlisok00:37
SmurfieHm..00:37
_Tristanif you stick to archlinux... why are you here?00:37
unixalotarchboxman: yeah im going to try arch one day, and they just released alpha drivers for my wifi for osx00:37

SmurfieWhere on this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation   do I find the installation for 8.04?00:38
m3rcJef91: Google's the secret linux pro help tool. I heard the FBI's using it now.00:38

NET||abuseunixalot, ok, shoot00:39
IdleOneNET||abuse: log out and back in and wicd will ( cross fingers ) kick in and just work00:39
unixalotNET||abuse: do you want to use nm wireless or can you succesfully connect to wifi using terminal methods like ifconfig iwconfig00:40
greezmunkeyNET||abuse, there is that :)00:40
unixalotNET||abuse: would help determine the bug being software/hardware00:40
geirhaSmurfie: help.ubuntu.com -> 8.04 -> Installing Ubuntu (at the bottom), but yeah, there should've been a link for the LTS on that page too00:40
NET||abuseunixalot, i'd definately prefer to use nm.. remembering the cli series of commands just isn't what i need00:40

RyanDHi all. I am running 9.10 and put my desktop into Hibernate last night. When I tried to boot up today it gives up waiting for root device and drops to busybox. From the live cd I cannot see the disk at all but my bios recognizes it. Is my drive toast? If not how can I fix this? Thanks.00:52

eedgeHey :0) quick question, if I wanted to have a external hostname resolve to something on a local box that was less obscure, could I use the host file for this and if so how?00:55
SmurfieWell, crap. I got photo cd's instead of the other kind >_<  usb stick instead. Hopefully this works.00:55
geirhaCarlis: Hm. Well, try marking all text in the document (Ctrl+a) and set spanish as the language for the selection00:55

TomV_415boourns: I have used the supergrub boot disk... lets me get back to windows, but I need to fix how it opens ubuntu... trying to sort that out now.. (fdisk -l ...)01:06
MenZa!find tclkit | vladc01:06

boournsTomV_415, did you try the "auto linux" option?01:06
ubottuvladc: Package/file tclkit does not exist in karmic01:06
MenZavladc: Out of luck, it would seem.01:06
TomV_415boourns: I'll try it again...01:06
zilkomaaWhy i cant get alsamixer driver option shown in sound->prefences-hardware-profile?01:07
boournsTomV_415, also... from super grub, try show partitions, find your ubuntu partition, hit B for boot... it wont fix grub but its good for testing that u can boot it01:07
vladcMenZa, ubottu: That's weird, I would expect there to be a package for it. I guess I'll have to install it manually.01:07
* `mOOse` listens to TomV_415 and boourns carefully as he has now got a hosed XP/Win7 dualboot install thanks to grub201:07
TomV_415boourns: I just simplified my partiions and such.  there's no auto linux, but there's something like auto magic01:07
rwwkermit: Theoretically, apt-get should mark data packages and things like that as automatically installed, and apt-get autoremove would deal with them.01:07
MenZavladc: I would have expected it too. Sec.01:07
MenZavladc: Perhaps the package 'tcl'01:08
rwwkermit: unfortunately, unless you keep things obsessively tidy, apt-get autoremove often removes too much or too little01:08
vladcMenZa, ubottu: Thanks, I'll try 'tcl'.01:08
boournsyeah super grub is amazing... enough tinkering and u can always fix it ;) with windows too01:08

jack45334any software to do so01:10
tucemiuxanyone here syncs their phone with evolution???  anyone knows if you can sync and tether a phone?01:10
Dr_Willisfaultyground:  and you can use 'emerald --replace &' then the 'exit' command to close the termial if you launch it that way01:10
MenZavladc: For the record, if you do a search for tcl (apt-cache search tcl), you might find other packages.01:10

MenZaMrKeuner: Sure, if the driver supports it (and the printer, of course)01:11
jken146rahduke: why would you want one?01:11
MrKeunerMenZa, do you know if hpijs supports duplex??01:11
MenZaMrKeuner: I don't. Try reading the driver documentation, it should say.01:11

rahdukejken146: i want to be able to monitor transfer speed, users, that kind of stuff01:12
tucemiuxrahduke, because you dont need a GUI to run an ssh server app LoL  It all depends on what you are trying to do with the app01:12

unixalotJoeSomebody: if you dont knw your root pass your kinda scrwed01:20
JoeSomebodyi know it01:20

tucemiux`mOOse`, wrong questions, theyre not getting mounted automatically01:20
`mOOse`tucemiux, I followed the alternative-install xubuntu's menu exactly01:21

JoeSomebodyenable root? prob not unless you guys told me to01:21
grumblyyou have a terminal somewhere- alt-f2 and type xterm01:21
tucemiux`mOOse`, ok that's not a problem, your scenario is an easy fix, the hard part is figuring it out, im going to #grub to see if I can find a developer there01:21
`mOOse`tucemiux, if I go into thunar they aren't there, but if I go into catfish (which someone suggested somewhere) they ARE there, and I can access them in thunar once I select one/both of them in catfish01:21
ardchoilleJoeSomebody: no, no need to enable root. should be your user password01:21

`mOOse`ok thank you tucemiux  - really REALLY appreciate it01:22
bob_0no installable kernel was found in the defined APT source how can i install without getting this warning??01:22
JoeSomebodygrumbly, hehe that worked01:22
tucemiux`mOOse`, you dont have to worry about accessing them after you booted to xubuntu, all you need to be able to do is detect them, if you do a "sudo fdisk -l" you should see the partitions, if not then we have a problem01:22
bob_0any ideas?01:23

jef91Balsak - I have synergy working via the CLI but a GUI would be nice to have...01:24
BalSakok, start by running it from the CLI so that you can see what's happening in the background01:25
JoeSomebodyhang in there i am trying to figure out what i am doing01:25
BalSaknext, make sure you can ping the peer-machine by name, & not by IP (this is a bug, I think)01:25

JoeSomebodya list of programs at least , saved to my usb01:25
* unixalot has been staring at the irc for far to long01:26

Zephyrmaidenhow do i add a new server?01:26
jef91Balsak - How do I ping by IP01:26
BalSakin the server, specify the name of the connecting client in the position by name & in the server are, specify the "server" by the IP (but not by 127.1)01:26
jef91Balsak - just ping <hostname> >01:26
JoeSomebodygrumbly, ok im a  root then01:26

Dr_Willisjef91:  i found the quick syngery interface very odd to use. i was easier for me to juist make a syngery config by hand01:27
grumblyJoeSomebody: if you can run synaptic from that prompt, you've at least gotten a workaround01:27
infidjef91: quicksynergy is pretty self explanatory. i think it's great for creating a quick config file, then no longer using it and use synergys / synergyc separately01:28
JoeSomebodyjust type synaptic?01:28
jef91Dr_Willis - ditto thats what I am doing now01:28
tucemiux`mOOse`, there's nobody in #grub right now, first let's find out in what device your grub is installed: sudo grub-probe -t device /boot/grub01:28

dukehunterneed wireless help01:31
shawnboyanybody know why wlan wouldn't show up in ifconfig when I know it's on?01:31
tucemiux`mOOse`, you have different partitions on your USB drive?01:31
Dr_WillisAlan502:  from windows be sure to defrag/scandisk  - and depending on the version of windows.. windoes Does have tools to resize NTFS that can work a lot faster then gparted does for me01:31
`mOOse`yes01:31
shawnboyoops... there's dukehunter. I'm here on his behalf.01:31
`mOOse`/dev/sdb1 is a 30 meg partition I made just for grub01:31
Alan502Dr_Willis, it's a clean windows installation, factory default.01:32
boournsTomV_415, did you try in super grub:  going to view partitions, selecting your ubuntu partition, and press B like i recommended?01:32
TomV_415boourns:dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc  is trying to pull stuff from Grub Legacy meu.list, but that's not there01:32
dukehunterhave no wireless capabilities after 9.10 install01:32
boournsTomV_415, cause if that doesn't work, you might have a bigger problem than you think01:32
TomV_415boourns: how do I view partisions01:32
tucemiux`mOOse`, that wont be a problem, the problem could be that grub is pointing to the wrong partition, partittions start at 1 I believe not at index 0 like legady grub01:32
`mOOse`it refused to install there though for some reason - is it possible it wouldn't install there because I made /de/sdb1 an LVM?01:32
tucemiux`mOOse`, can you post your grub.cfg to pastebin01:32
boournsTomV_415, look through the options on super grub its in there01:32
`mOOse`yes01:32
`mOOse`hang on01:32
Dr_WillisAlan502:  so? still same procedure.. defrag/scan/try  the windows features..   then id try gparted again01:33
TomV_415boourns: options?  Hm... let me restart and try that..01:33
CarciI was gonna join and ask for help getting my remote desktop working--but I figured out what was wrong already xD01:33
Alan502Dr_Willis, ok :) thank you01:33
boournsTomV_415, its not actually under something called "options" im just saying its there somewhere01:33
BalSakdoes anyone know how to set up & configure SIP voip & video in empathy, please?01:34
jef91Do I need to manually make a config file for quicksynergy to use Balsak?01:34
CarciSo uh, thanks Ubuntu people for including an easy to use remote desktop :301:34
boournsBalSak, never heard of it... i've used ekiga and its easy to set up though01:34
BalSakjef91: you can manually create a config file so that you have quicksynergy's functionality without actually having to need to run the front-end GUI; quicksynergy is simply a GUI frontend for synergyc (client) & synergys (server). SQ elables you to create that config file that you can them make use of in your synergyc/synercys application01:35
`mOOse`tucemiux,  http://pastebin.com/m79b1719701:36
`mOOse`TomV_415, what iso of supergrub are you using?01:36
jef91Balsak - sorry, I feel stupid right now. When I hit excute on my server for synergy I get: 'ERROR: synergys.cpp,1068: cannot read configuration ".quicksynergy/synergy.conf"'01:36
jef91Balsak How do I make it create a configuration?01:36
TomV_415`mOOse`: supergrub v 1.2.101:37
tucemiux`mOOse`, can you first try: sudo update-grub01:37
`mOOse`yes tucemiux, thanks TomV_41501:37
BalSakboourns: thanks. I did use ekiga in the past, but it's had some really serious issues. empathy is now punted as the "official" ubuntu IM client, complete with integrated video & voice: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Empathy & http://www.jonobacon.org/2009/10/09/this-is-what-awesome-looks-like/01:37
boournsheh you're right here it is in 9.10... i had no idea, still using pidgin + ekiga01:37
BalSakjef91: that error probably implies that the config file is missing. thry `sudo touch ~/.quicksynergy/synergy.conf`01:38
`mOOse`tucemiux,  here is the update output: http://pastebin.com/m2f4fa02801:38
TomV_415boourns: now in super grub (1.96) do I need to drop to command line?01:38
jef91Balsak - yes that file is missing01:38
BalSakjef91: but QS should automatically create that file if it's missing01:38
goyangfchow do i install java on karmic?01:39
jef91Balsak - Where do I tell QS what system to use as the host?01:39
infidwhy is chmod not called 'chperm'01:39
Alan502goyangfc, java is on the repositories01:39
jken146goyangfc: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre01:39
goyangfcwhat about the jdk?01:40
tucemiux`mOOse`, did update-grub work?01:40
jken146goyangfc: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk01:40
BalSak jef91: in the "server" field, under the "use" tab01:40
coz_goyangfc,   opne synapitc package manager  hit Search type  sun java01:40
coz_goyangfc,  get the 6  revision and all is listed there01:40
`mOOse`yes tucemiux - I pasted it to pastebin url above01:40
jef91Balsak What do I put there on the host computer? The system's own name?01:40
BalSakinfid: you  can alias it to pretty-much what you want01:40
kermitis there a way to tell what packages have been used recently?01:41
BalSaki usually put the IP in of the system that has the keyboard & mouse attached that I want to use01:41
kermiter, havent01:41
tucemiux`mOOse`, ok so grub found the OS's, can you boot up to them?  And if not what error are you seeing?01:41
jef91Balsak - I can't use quick synergy on the host?...01:41
arandgoyangfc: You want the sun-java6-plugin ((and it's dependencies)) rather than -jdk though, I presume.01:41
BalSakjef91: ??????01:41
TomV_415boourns: I'm in supergrub  on the commad line, I can see all the commands (tab) what command did you suggest?01:41
infidBalSak:  just saying it seems like a mismomer01:42
jef91Balsak - On the computer I want to use the keyboard and mouse on, what do I put for server?01:42
BalSakinfid: there's a LOT of legacy commands01:42
Dr_Willisjef91:  i got it working once with quick syng.. but it was easier to just use a script on host/client to launch the ciommands i needed01:42
`mOOse`tucemiux, I installed xubuntu on a usb flashdrive and stupidly left my HD in my laptop (despite solid warnings not to), whuch has XP and Win7 on it...grub gave me a hard time because I forced it to install on the boot partition I made for the flashdrive. It installed the bootscreen to the usb, but in that menu there's 2 entries for win7, but nothing for XP...now I can't boot to either XP or Win701:42
BalSakjef91: it's own IP01:42
`mOOse`I cannot boot to either of them01:42
boournsTomV_415, what i'm talking about is a boot disc, super grub disc, it isnt a command line its a text based menu01:43
TomV_415boourns: I'm trying probe /dev/sda501:43
coz_goyangfc, find it in synaptic?01:43
jef91Balsak - when I put in it's own IP and/or hostname it says it cannot connect...01:43
TomV_415boourns: Right, I booted from the CD.. got to command line by typing 'c' after trying AUTO MAGIC with no luck01:44
BalSakjef91: don't worry about that now01:44
TomV_415it's trying to mount a uuid device that doesn't exist..01:44
goyangfcum01:44
goyangfcyeah01:44
BalSakjef91: if you've defined the position of the other systems (by hostnames that you can ping OK) relative to each other, and use the same server (by IP) on every node, you should be OK01:45
tucemiux`mOOse`, the only difference between your config and my config is that there's this line before "chainloader +1": drivemap -s (hd0) ${root} ,  I know youre not supposed to edit your .cfg but this is an emergency, you could set your grub.cfg to be writable, make the change, save the file, and change permissions back to non-writable and try booting up to windows, you could also add your own owntry to "40_custom.cfg"01:45
tucemiux`mOOse`, sorry i ran out of time I'll be back in about an hour01:45
jef91Balsak - thanks for trying to help but quicksynergy blows IMO, just going to write a script to wrap the CLI for my roomates01:46
`mOOse`ok thanks tucemiux ....I thought that you couldn't edit that file cause grub just writes right back over t01:46
`mOOse`it01:46
TomV_415in supergrub, ls gets two lines:  (hd0) (hd0,5) (hd0,2)  (hd0,1) (hd2)   and then error: no such disk01:46
`mOOse`I'm so lost....sigh01:46
goyangfccoz, it's installing java-common, sun-java6-jre, odbcinst1debian1, unixodbc, sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jdk01:46
TomV_415(hd2) is the live cd01:46

NatureTMhi, I recently got a Toshiba A505-6033 and my r8192se Wireless card didn't work.  After alot of tinkering I figured out acpi was to blame.  kernel params acpi=off and acpi=noirq not only fixed the card but also made the lapptop run faster.  Unfortunately it also broke suspend to ram.  I searched and found no solutions.  Just wondering if anyone is aware of the issue or has a fix.01:46
robtowAnyone know how to set up Ubuntu as a WiFi access point?01:47
BalSakjef91: & https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto01:47
tucemiux`mOOse`, yes, grub overwrites every thing changes are made, it could work for a while if you make your own additions but they could be overwritten, that's why you can try what I told you, you can also add yoru own entry in 40_custom01:47
jef91Balsak - I was there already, my issues is getting QuickSynergy to setup the host properly01:47
tucemiuxbe back later01:47
arand`mOOse`: It only overwrites when update-grub is run, so "automatically" in the case of kernel or grub updates..01:47
TomV_415root (hd0,5) gets "Filesystem is ext2 (!!)01:47

Blue11hey sounds like my usb drive01:47
jef91Balsak - The sad part is Synergy includes a wonderful GUI for Windows by default01:47
BalSakjef91: functionality's pretty-much identical01:48
jef91Balsak - not in the slightest.01:48
jef91The Windows GUI was intuitive to use and worked01:48
Dr_WillisI got my syngery 'clint' set where i boot to windows or linux on the other box and i can controll it.01:48
TomV_415any help with suber grub or grub rescue?  I think I just need to point to the right mount point and I'll be all set.01:49
TomV_415I can see all the files from live CD01:49
BalSakjef91: i use QS any a very large number of different OS's, and I have very few issues; you may be dealing with some other problems (like networking)01:49
arand`mOOse`: So, yes, you can edit the file and just re-edit it each time it's changed (which shouldn't be too often) However, demands you know what you're doing when editing the file, and should be aware that it's not intended...01:49
jef91Balsak - the CLI works 100% fine01:49
jef91Balsak - in fact I'm using it now01:49
Dr_WillisI fiound the QS gui a little odd to setup. but after i explored it for a bit. i figured it out.01:50
TomV_415seems to me all admin folders should be under git... so you can commit changes and roll back anytime.01:50
`mOOse`arand, and I don't - which is why what tucemuix wrote me above is puzzling me - did he want me to ADD that line to my config?01:50
BalSakjef91: well, there you go01:50
richhello guys, im really stuck and could desperately do with some help01:51

microhaxoIs it possible for me to use tint2 to manage my windows when minimized/maximized and still have the gnome task panel??02:13

SpaceGhostC2CTomV_415, you should remove everything up to UUID, only have root= and put /dev/sda502:15

Belboz99ayam_jago: I found the easiest way to handle nvidia drivers was with envy02:16
macoSpaceGhostC2C: UUIDs work even if libata changes the format of the /dev names (like when ide devs went from /dev/hda to /dev/sda a couple releasess back)02:16

iflemaayam_jago it is most likely possible you could simply select the older version pre-boot in the grub menu.... it is possible to change the default kerenel to boot.03:25

FauntixZeth: ok zeth the driver i need for ubuntu is the gateway finepoint03:32
fireballlabarna: no, I just lose it when the wine app goes full screen. Pretty sure it's to do with a resolution change somewhere, probably x. But that's the problem and it needs fixing, please. . .03:32
labarnabob_: can you edit the menu... right click the menu for instance?03:32
labarnafireball: I think you probably right about the resolution change.  The only way I could see working around that is matching your desktop resolution and configuring from there so that when wine starts it doesn't change the resolution.03:33
zetherooFauntix: interesting03:33
nuvanzetheroo: used the info on packages.ubuntu.org to make sure I had the proper dependencies downloaded before I put 'em on the usb stick.  Ended up installing linux-image-2.6.31-16generic, l-b-modules-2.6.31-16-generic, l-b-m-karmic-generic, and l-b-m-wireless-karmic-generic03:33

fireballlarbarna: i reckon it could be done through regedit, but no idea how03:35
devrethmanAFAIK wine can make things fullscreen if they ask to be. I don't know if it's possible to just make some random app take up your whole screen with no decorations.03:35

fireballiflema: no, just not calibrated in full screen mode, fine un-maximised03:37
labarnafireball: yeah sorry I'm not entirely sure, wine is tricky with resolution.  best bet is to ask in a wine channel or on their mailing list03:37

irkeppingfloyd, sloopy: I want to bridge my connections so when i switch between them my streaming media isnt interrupted04:19

tonyyarussosacarlson: can you define "got stuck"?04:21
rumpsyrww: Yes, you right,  know that, but even after removal of ntp, i'm facing the same problem, it automatically assigning some default time04:21
drbanzaiobscurant1st, You can run a webserver without a domain name...just use the IP address04:21
sacarlsontonyyarusso: well I didn't write it down but I can try again and tell you.04:22
sacarlsontonyyarusso should I just try install lamp?04:22
irkepthis is kind of unrelated to my question, but, can you bridge connections to different networks?04:22
tonyyarussosacarlson: sure.  My guess is that you didn't expand the little window that asks you for sql root password.04:22
sloopyirkep, never done it 'client side' so to speak, but i would guess you would use bridge utilities04:22
tonyyarussosacarlson: from tasksel?  You could, if you want it.04:22

pingfloydirkep: why not just make your life easy and install a switch?04:24
linux-padawannetworking restart04:25
tonyyarussohunger__: 8.04 or 8.10?  You should always specify.  (I don't know the answer, but if someone else does they'll need to know which.)04:25
linux-padawancommand notfound04:25
sacarlsontonyyarusso yes this time i'm using the command line with tasksel04:25
hunger__i read in some posts hdmi audio on nvidia was removed in 9.04+ and the fix didn't make it into 9.10, but others have said they gotten it to work, just worked no idea how though04:25
PupenoHow do I add a file type to ubuntu so that they are open with certain application?04:25
pingfloydswitches are so cheap these days, hence why nobody bothers bridging anymore04:25
hunger__tony, both 8.04 and 8.1004:25
rumpsyrww: what might be the problem?04:25
mkquist_linux-padawan: "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" ?04:26
rwwrumpsy: after you remove power from the computer? if so, that sounds more like a problem with the clock battery04:26

NeverwillI may have to do that FTP server thing, i've used FTP before.04:38
sloopyhunger__, nfs has simple security is easy to hack with MIM attacks04:38
hunger__sloopy, i see, will take note of that04:39
rwwbazhang: thanks04:39
pingfloydyeah, nfs was never meant for use across untrustworthy networks04:39
MTec007Neverwill: samba is more of a solution than ftp but i never had luck with samba04:39
hunger__neverwill, yeah i think ftp is easier, or at least less frustrating, but samba is a better solution overall04:39

Neverwillcause i have a few programming questios04:46
sloopyNeverwill, ubuntu only...04:46
RiverRatUbuntu.  There is a #hardware channel that is more general.04:46
rwwNeverwill: Ubuntu support only. #ubuntu-offtopic has other discussions, and some programming languages have their own channel.04:46
rwwNeverwill: which language?04:46
sloopyNeverwill, there are other channels for specific languages...04:46
Neverwillhow do I get to see the list of rooms?04:47
Neverwillrww: mainly Python, just starting out :/04:47
rwwNeverwill: /msg alis help. Alis is a service bot for searching for channels. Some people will recommend /list, which is a bad idea.04:47
rwwNeverwill: I think #python exists.04:47
zedsterstill having issues, I do not have a tty1-6, its driving me nutz04:47

Anarki2004no universe04:54
zedstermrpink57: no, what should I look for?04:54
rwwAnarki2004: that's why it's not finding it, then.04:54
andrewsdzedster: Hmm, not sure if it made a difference - perhaps?04:55
mrpink57zedster: near the bottom you should see your tty's its an obvious04:55
rwwAnarki2004: Try installing "xchat-gnome" instead. It's rather annoying, but it's in main so you should have it.04:55
andrewsdzedster: I'm curious... have you heard reports of the safe mode fixing 100% cpu issues on exit (I don't use plugins btw)04:55
Anarki2004ok04:55
mrpink57zedster: basically it should show telling tty to run in runlevels04:55
Anarki2004i think that did it04:56
zedsterandrewsd: no, just normally if the problem doesn't occur in safe mode it is diagnostically relevant04:56
zedstermrpink57: how do I access it?04:56
mrpink57sudo gedit /etc/inittab04:56

EliasAmaral-f stands for 'fix broken'05:13
sc_woesc'mon i'm not that stupid05:13
onetinsoldieremes: another alternative is 'evince'. it's in the repo. you might have it installed already05:13
zedsternovemberhascome2: also make sure its not a hardware issue if its an external hd and not flash, could be a loose ide/sata05:14

zmanningIdleOne, for general reference though, would that be the correct location?05:54
futurama140IdleOne: i just bought a new nvidia graphics card to replace an unsupported card in ubuntu, anytime i ran a 3d accelerated program, the screen would flash black. i tried about 7 different drivers to no avail. i was trolled into erasing my ubuntu, so i re-installed windows, and i used a new monitor. i just picked up a new monitor and now the flicker is back with 3d stuff. ive tried several power supplies, many drivers, TWO diff05:55
IdleOnezmanning: /opt I believe is a better location. I might be wrong. I don't normally compile05:55

sc_woesdabaR, it finished with a HUGE number of warnings, and as soon as it finished, Update Manager popped up saying it wants to install gtk2.0, should i let it?05:57

nat2610_chelz, I checked before, but it's not really my problem. If I use for example vlc, the sound is there ... it's only in the browser that I notice this issue07:14
tom-v415iflema: wireless is connected..shows signal strength07:14
chelzYvier6: sure! we call those "symbolic links" to make a link you do:   ln -s target linkName07:14
iflematom-v415 and wireless is what you trying to connect through?07:14
Yvier6ln -s /var/www/vhosts/XXX/httpdocs/ drupal07:15
Yvier6so?07:15
chelzYvier6: yeah, where you execute that a link called "drupal" will be created07:15
chelzYvier6: so make sure you're where you want the link to be07:15
tom-v415iflema: yes, I can try wired..07:15

chelzYvier6: yes07:15
tom-v415iflema: but it was all working fine  just a little while ago.07:16

Yvier6chelz: hm..and only drupal isnt ok?07:16
iflematom-v415 ok... well... whats changed?07:16
damnbadluckexcuse me, i was here yesterday and my mounter became corrupt, so joeyjones told me to "sudo remove mount" and the whole OS is gone, i have a 9.10 disc here, and i have access to the command line in grub, can i repair my system this way? i would just try a fresh install but i have some files i need to save.07:16
chelzYvier6: i'm talking about where the link you create will be put07:16
Yvier6chelz: thanks an last question :D how can i delete a symboliclink?07:17
chelzdamnbadluck: boot to the 9.10 disc, mount your filesystem, and get the files you want back07:17
chelzYvier6: it is like any other file. you can either move it to the trash in gnome's nautilus or do "rm file". in your case "rm drupal"07:17
tom-v415iflema: just plugged it in, and wired is working..07:18
chelzdamnbadluck: then probably the easiest is to reinstall ubuntu07:18
Artanis00How do you set folder icons like the default home folder places that respect changing the theme? If I just set the icon from the folder's properties menu the icon doesn't change to new themes.07:18
replic8torhow do you block an ip from accessing ubuntu? I tried command iptables but it doesnt exist.07:18
chelztom-v415: in ifconfig were you getting assigned an IP?07:18
tom-v415chelz: but what's changed is not too much..I copied over all my settings from a previous install so I updated /home/myname with lots of files07:18
Artanis00damnbadluck: Though you sould chroot into the old install and reinstall mount07:18
haffereplic8tor: I would install firestarter and build a firewall rule.07:19
iflematom-v415 what did you do? :) did you update... change anything... too many changes?07:19
damnbadluckchelz: im trying to boot to it, but anytime i try to either install or boot from disc, the disc drive speeds up and then nothing happens, i have to ctrl+alt+del to make the system respond, do you have any suggestions?07:19
Artanis00damnbadluck: um, sould -> could07:19
tucemiuxreplic8tor, do you have a router at home?07:19
replic8toris firestarter console?07:19
replic8torI do have a router yes.07:19
tomatoes7my sound sucks ass on my pc07:19
tucemiuxreplic8tor, you can try blocking the IP in the router07:19
haffereplic8tor: No, it's a gui.07:19
chelzdamnbadluck: you could try checking your BIOS settings to make sure it tries booting to a CD before the hard drive. you could also try burning another install CD07:20
tomatoes7i get some like weird feedback sound07:20
damnbadluckArtanis00: "chroot" from command line?07:20
damnbadluckchelz: ill check that then.07:20
chelzdamnbadluck: you can use chroot to fix your system if you remember the exact command you did to break it07:20
tucemiuxtomatoes7, youre recording using the mic?07:20
tom-v415iflema: here's the BEFORE (i plugged in wire) ifconifg: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7556d1b207:20
tomatoes7no07:20
chelzdamnbadluck: well actually you could check your ~/.bash_history if you get your fs mounted07:20
damnbadluckchelz: the exact command was "sudo apt-get remove mount"07:21
tucemiuxtomatoes7, you get feedback just by listening to music or stuff?07:21
Artanis00damnbadluck: it's kinda complicated, but it's possible to access the installed environment within the liveCD through the command line07:21
replic8torWhat non gui app should I try if not firestarter?07:21
tomatoes7yeah07:21
chelzdamnbadluck: if you get booted to a livecd chrooting is an option07:21
tomatoes7its like a loud farting chopper07:21
iflematom-v415 two network interfaces.... i wanted that info before to save you moving between machines..... it does not help now07:21
tucemiuxit's your computer, some computers have that problem, i have that problem on windows but on ubuntu it sounds fine07:22
Artanis00damnbadluck: From there you should be able to use apt-get to install mount again07:22
replic8torfirestarter is just a frontend to iptables yea?07:22
tom-v415iflema: now that I've got a connection, I've put both ifconfig outputs up in that same link.07:22
tomatoes7tucemiux, well i figure i need different drivers07:22
Viper1432yes replic8tor , but its a very nice frontend.07:22
tomatoes7its never had problems when i run windows07:22
tom-v415iflema: what do you look at in that output, lots of stuff to parse there. (in ifconfig )07:22
damnbadluckchelz: ok so my disc drive is set to first position to boot from, and i have no other discs i can use for another copy of ubuntu. how long should i wait after choosing the boot from disc option before it responds?07:22
replic8torIts a server, doesnt run X>07:23
gokturk_#ubuntu-tr07:23
Artanis00damnbadluck: I have a blog post here that I refer to when I nuke my installs, detailing how to chroot into the installed environment from a LiveCD: http://artanis00.blogspot.com/2009/08/getting-sources-source-keys-and-package.html07:23
damnbadluckArtanis00: ok, well i suppose thisll be a lot easier when i can get the CD to boot properly.07:23
chelzdamnbadluck: don't select boot from disk. select "try out ubuntu"07:23
tucemiuxtomatoes7, or it could also be the sound card07:23
tucemiuxit could also be pulseaudio though i doubt it, I suggest you check the forum or launchpad07:24
tomatoes7the sound card works fine in windows07:24
damnbadluckchelz: yea, thats what i meant :P07:24
Artanis00damnbadluck: I didn't realize you couldn't get into the LiveCD either...07:24
chelzdamnbadluck: do you have any usb flash sticks/drives around that you can format?07:24
chelzdamnbadluck: if your system can boot to a usb device, you can install ubuntu on one of them with UNetbootin07:25
damnbadluckchelz: no i dont actually :P07:26
damnbadluckchelz: how long should the system take to respond when i use the "try ubuntu" option?07:26
tom-v415chelz: oops, thought the same url would show my updated pastebin... here's the update ifconfig, with both wireless only (not working) and wired: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2cc1e5e07:26
Artanis00damnbadluck: It can take a while07:27
chelzdamnbadluck: as long as the CD drive is active and whirring, then it's doing its job07:27
chelzdamnbadluck: an ipod or other many kinds of mp3 players can be used also07:27
damnbadluckArtanis00, chelz: ok then, ill check back in in a few minutes07:27
tomatoes7my ubuntu is acting like windows....slow07:28
Artanis00chelz: *note to self* boot a computer to Ubuntu off an iPod for laughs.07:28
iflematom-v415 its basically useless... and that link has the wireless connected only.07:28
chelzArtanis00: it works great :)07:28
Artanis00chelz: I'll need to acquire an iPod. which work best?07:28
tom-v415chelz: the second pastbin?  Should have a before and after ..07:28
chelzArtanis00: anything gen 5.5 and before07:28

tom-v415chelz: very odd, I'm chatting using the same network (different computer) on that wireless network.. and ubuntu shows a good connection, but can't see anything on it.07:36

hyperstreamdamnbadluck, is this for a laptop?07:38
damnbadluckchelz: i just realized, i do however have many spare hard drives, and a usb adapter.07:39
chelztom-v415: try without the ethernet wire07:39
rwwlars_bauer: If it's a .tar.bz2 file, use `tar -xjf /path/to/file.tar.bz2` instead07:39
damnbadluckhyperstream: no, but almost as difficult, a slimline pc07:39
chelzdamnbadluck: that would work fine, if by usb adapter you mean an external enclosure07:39

chelzdamnbadluck: ah alright. heh sounds like it'll work07:40
damnbadluckchelz: how can i work with it then? what should i do?07:41
chelztom-v415: hmm how long did the wireless work for? and did anything happen just before it stopped working?07:41
chelzdamnbadluck: plug it in like a usb flashdrive and install ubuntu to it using Unetbootin07:41
Artanis00damnbadluck: probably just use the flash drive boot instructions on it07:41
Artanis00or that07:41
damnbadluckchelz: "Unetbootin" ? im using a windows system right now since the system with ubuntu obviously isnt working :P07:42

devrethmanHow is it that after like 8 years of trying to make linux more user friendly, nobody has figured out how to prevent sound card locking?08:08
HammerHead66chaz: are u the one that helped me before?08:09
chelzHammerHead66: yep08:09
puppymy sound card never works08:09
chelzdevrethman: they have. newer OSS handles it well and alsa does it fine08:09
Viper1432funny, mine always works.08:09
chelzpuppy: try harder :P08:09
chelzHammerHead66: is flash having issues?08:09
devrethmanChelz: Really, then how is it that using the latest version of the most user friendly distro, Youtube can still shut MPD down?08:10
HammerHead66ļ»æchelz: I am able to see the flash but when I try to watch something on hulu.com it tells me that my player it not up to date08:10
puppyworks fine under win7 but under linux after sleep no good08:10
devrethmanI have to sit here and /etc/init.d/mpd restart over and over again until it finally picks it up08:10
devrethmanand once it has, half my other apps stop making sound.08:10
HammerHead66ļ»æchelz: I did sudo apt-get update   and also upgrade08:10
puppyi just want my music to play lol08:11
chelzdevrethman: eh well there's still a ways to go. sometimes manual tweaking is still necessary08:11
chelzHammerHead66: ah alright, well do sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree08:11
chelzHammerHead66: we're going to need to install a newer version08:11
devrethmanYeah, I know, but from the impression that I've had, making ALSA work without "manual tweaking" has been in development longer then Duke Nukem Forever.08:12
devrethmanwhich makes me a sad panda.08:12
HammerHead66ļ»æchelz: ok removed08:12
beruicDoes anyone know how to control the size of password symbols in dialogs? Mine are very small.08:12
puppysad panda lol08:13

devrethmanberuic: Mine are really big. Want to trade?08:13
beruicYes please :)08:13
chelzHammerHead66: then either open it when firefox asks you to save it, or save it then doubleclick it08:13
devrethmanOkay, just a sec.08:13
EliasAmaral'password symbols'?08:13
damnbadluckchelz: unetbootin is processing and installing on the USB drive. will let you know how it goes.08:14
chelzperhaps he means black dots08:14
EliasAmaralyou meant those dots when you enter a character?08:14
chelzdamnbadluck: sounds good08:14
devrethmanā—ā—ā—ā—ā—ā—ā—ā—ā—ā—ā—ā—ā—ā—ā—08:14
EliasAmaralthey are huge here08:14
beruicEliasAmaral: yes, those dots08:14
devrethmanPut those in your password boxes.08:14
EliasAmaralyou want them even more bigger?08:14
EliasAmaral(gtk2/gnome here)08:14
chelzberuic: do you mean on the login screen?08:14
beruicMine are very small in both login and gksudo08:14
EliasAmarali guess every system with the ubuntu's default font will have the same char08:14
devrethmanMine are also cyan, so you might want to do something like that.08:14
devrethman*something about that.08:14
chelzdevrethman: depends on your soundcard. it's probably a good idea to google around every so often to see what the latest is in the linux world. a lot of times just a bit of tweaking can fix things.08:15
EliasAmaralmaybe you are using a nonstandard font beruic08:15

devrethmanAlthough I have to give you guys props, it took me about a minute and a half to configure twinview last week.08:16
HammerHead66ļ»æchelz: ok08:16
devrethmanberuic: I think those symbols are part of the system font. You could try changing it in Menu -> system->prefs -> appearance08:17
devrethmanbut that would change the font for everything else, too. I don't know of a way to make specific things like that larger or smaller.08:17

devrethmanAll of them are set to "sans"08:17

devrethmanThey finally made a 64 bit flash player O_o08:20
devrethmanwhen did that happen?08:20
chelzdevrethman: very recently heh08:21
Myrttidevrethman: last summer, but it's alpha08:21
chelzi've heard it's stable enough for most users. stable as flash ever really is.08:21
chelzdamnbadluck: when did you get that error?08:21
damnbadluckjust now, after trying to boot via usb08:22
damnbadluckchelz: ^^08:22
devrethmanin my experience, flash is about as stable as the stuff I made with Duplo when I was very small. It usually gets noscripted.08:22
devrethmanI'm just impressed that adobe has finally gotten their heads out of thei--- errmmm. you know where this is going.08:22
chelzi use chromium for flash stuff, and browse regularly with firefox and noscript08:22
HammerHead66ļ»æchelz: now that I've downloaded it, extracted, what now?08:23
devrethmanchromium?08:23
chelzwell i'm still waiting for hardware accelerated video playback on linux08:23
chelzgoogle chrome's oss project. has an ubuntu ppa08:23
devrethmanhasn't mplayer had that for quite awhile?08:23
damnbadluckchelz: what do i do?08:23
Myrttioh sorry, year ago in november08:23
chelzdevrethman: no, it's needed by the flash plugin08:23
hackiolegaroHello Ubuntu08:24
chelzdamnbadluck: if you're sure it's trying to boot to the drive, try reformatting it and doing a unetbootin install again. that's a grub error of somekind08:24
devrethmanoh, hardware accelerated flash video? Cause I know I got hardware accelerated H264 working last summer.08:24
damnbadluckchelz: ok08:24
chelzdevrethman: yeah i have h264 and all that08:24
devrethmanat least I thought I did.08:24
chelzHammerHead66: in a terminal do: cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/08:25
devrethmanwell, when I did it it was only in the SVN and you had to use a bunch of wierd options08:25
[BT]BrendanI wish deleting things with the command line would sent them to the recycle bin.08:25
dandamanwhen grub loads for me i have like 5 versions of ubuntu, i always use the first but i'm wondering what the other 4 are for08:25
devrethmanI think it was lik -vdapau=on or something like that.08:25
devrethmandandaman: Old kernels, in case it updates to a kernel that does not work, you'll be able to get into the old ones to fix it.08:25
rwwdandaman: old kernel versions, probably08:25
chelz[BT]Brendan: there are tools that do that, just not the default ones. *nixes expect people to have backups08:25
dandamandevrethman: so i should always be loading from the one on top, right?08:26
devrethmanAlthough while we're on the subject, is it possible to make those automatically disappear when they're more than 2 versions old?08:26
devrethmanor something08:26
=== JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz
devrethmandandaman: You should generally be loading the one with the highest version number. On mine they end up on the top usually08:27
chelzdevrethman: that does sound like a good feature. i haven't heard of anything existing that does that though08:27
dandamanwhat's a kernel?08:27
dandamani figure i should know these things if im a CS major08:27
HammerHead66ļ»æchelz: returned : permission denied08:27
devrethmanhahaha. Kernel is like... the thing at the center of the OS that does all the low-level stuff08:27
devrethmanif it's working right, you will never notice it.08:27
puppyits the heart08:28
HammerHead66ļ»æchelz: cannot create regular file08:28
Quan-Timedandaman: kernel is a bit of corn... OR its the major reliant factor of literally every computer OS... know how windows 95 and 98 are hugely the same ? its got the same kernel.. etc.. hope that helps08:28
devrethmanchelz: I tried screwith with grub.conf in ubuntu once, and it was full of comments and strange foriegn things with names like 'AUTOMAGIC' so I left.08:28
dandamanQuan-Time: still doesnt really explain what a kernel is :\08:29
chelzHammerHead66: sudo cp08:29
devrethmanIt's the low-level. It interfaces between hardware and software and does things like memory management and driver management.08:29
chelzdevrethman: menu.lst makes sense to me since i have experience with it, but the grub2 stuff i still need to learn08:29
Quan-Timedandaman: umm... ok.. a kernel has the basis of how things interact.. ie: how a mouse interfaces with the screen.. all via software. the kernel is the "core" software.. im sure theres a wiki on it..08:29
HammerHead66ļ»æchelz: did it but did not ask for password08:30
chelzdandaman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_%28computing%2908:30
chelzHammerHead66: you only have to enter your password every 15min i think for sudo08:30
dandamankk08:30
Quan-Timedandaman: major kernel updates include new "standards" for hardware, driver sets, etc..08:30
devrethmanI wrote my own menu.lst when I used gentoo, but here there's all sorts of extra stuff that I'm worried will set it on fire if I screw with. Grub errors are almost as annoying as wet socks, so I avoid them.08:30
HammerHead66ļ»æchelz: O.. ok08:30
dandamani remember for an internship interview i didnt get the interviewer asked me to write a kernel for unix08:30
dandamanis that really realy hard?08:30
Quan-Timedandaman: and for the record, im not a computer tech. nor involved in the computer industry..08:30
dandamanbecause it sounded hard when he first asked me :\08:30
chelzdandaman: a popular exercise for CS-types is to write their own kernel08:31
devrethmanYeah, that's kind of rediculously hard.08:31
Quan-Timedandaman: yes.. "writing" a kernel is HUGE.. but making a custom kernel is possible.. if you dont know what a kernel is, then its stupidly hard08:31
devrethmanIt is? Nobody told me O_o Perhaps I'm in the wrong major08:31
chelzHammerHead66: then you might need to restart firefox. but that should do it08:31
Quan-Timedevrethman: oh dear...08:31
chelzHammerHead66: if you ever want to update flash, just go to adobe's site and hunt for the 64bit flash tar.gz and copy it into the same place08:31
devrethmanI thought I was cool cause I wrote a BASH script that splits PDFs in half vertically08:31
Quan-Timedevrethman: can you drive a car ?08:32
HammerHead66ļ»æchelz: ok thanks08:32
chelzdevrethman: well a simple kernel, not one that follows all the unix standards08:32
devrethmanYeah, a simple kernel is possible. Writing a kernel that implements UNIX is... not so much.08:32
devrethmanwell, I'm sure it's possible, but it is not something I would do with my free time08:33
devrethmanQuan-Time: Yes... why?08:33
Quan-Timedandaman: can you drive a car ? its like that with CS... you learn over time.. you need correct teaching.. like doing anything.. with time @ college, you will learn the skill set needed..08:34

youcefi have question?08:54
ikoniaanli_: bug reports are not "not supported"08:54

ikoniascottj: no, but there is a keyboard deamon that picks up the changes08:57

airtonixquestion about networkmanagers ICS features : i currently have my netbook set to dhcp connect to my desktop(which is having two NICs, eth0 is outwards to the router which hits the WAN, and eth1 is inward and set to "shared to computers" in networkManager)... from my netbook I can access the apache server on my desktop but not google09:08

meowbuntuHi ho how it go everyone09:09
titan_arkikonia: i could only come up to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/45396309:09
ikoniaairtonix: you need your need something to act as a router out to the internet09:09
titan_arki am quite a n00b09:09
ikoniatitan_ark: just reading09:09
titan_arkwould appreciate the help09:09
titan_arkikonia: i thank you09:09
ikoniatitan_ark: that looks like it could be a similar problem/bug to you09:10
VectorXhow do i reset the smb.conf file to its defaults ?09:10
airtonixikonia, yep this is the function i desire my desktop to fullfil. and it does most of what i expect however I can;t seem to get past the desktop and out onto the internet when using the netbook09:10
titan_arkikonia: yeah.09:10
ikoniaairtonix: what are you using on the desktop as a router ?09:10
retryVectorX, ipkg-configure09:10
ikoniatitan_ark: I'm sorry to say it looks like a kernel bug that "should" be fixed in the next ubuntu release......09:10
retrythere's a flag to reconfigure to default09:10
retrytype man ipkg-configure09:10
titan_arkikonia: i can see the mention of my notebook model. but what is the solution. seems to not make sense to me.09:11
ikoniaretry: dpkg ?09:11
retryoh yeah!09:11
ikoniatitan_ark: ahhh so you are even using that notebook, ok, so I'd be confident that that is the problem then09:11
retryha I've been messing about with my pre :D09:11
ikoniatitan_ark: well found09:11
retryso I was in ipkg mode09:11
airtonixikonia, traditionally i would use firestarters ICS features, however now i;m using the gnome networkManager to do it, im connecting from the netbook to the desktop via ethernet cable09:11
titan_arkikonia: yes i own a HP dv4t 140009:11
ikoniaairtonix: gnomenetworkmanager is not routing software or ip forwarders09:11
=== skydrome is now known as TeLe
ikoniatitan_ark: ok, so that's the bug then09:11
retryVectorX, dpkg-reconfigure09:12
airtonixikonia, this (http://jeremy.visser.name/2009/03/24/simple-internet-connection-sharing-with-networkmanager/) leads me to believe otherwise09:12
titan_arkikonia: yes, but i cant seem to comprehend the solution. except that the test kernel has been patched09:12
VectorXretry do i need to specify anything else09:12
retryVectorX, yes the argument is the package yo uwant to reconfigure09:12
retryso whatever samba is called09:12
retryis it smb or just samba?09:13
ikoniatitan_ark: so you need to wait for that patched kernel to be released to ubuntu09:13
VectorXsamba i think09:13
airtonixretry, amb is an acronym : small message block09:13
airtonixretry, smb*09:13
meowbuntuHi all09:13
retryairtonix, it's also samba09:13
airtonixretry, :) which is a name inspired by the protocol name09:14
titan_arkikonia: ah okay. i remember when i was using a wubi install and facing some other issues, someone had given me a link to a vanilla kernel, if i am not mistaken this was also solved by the vanilla kernel09:14
retryright09:14
ikoniaairtonix: that guide won't fly in my view unless the machine you are using is automatically setup as a router/forwader, because all gnome-network-manger is doing is telling your card to advertise it's self for incoming dns lookups with dns-masq09:15
anli_ikonia: hm, with 3.5.7, it is the same, if I try to open the firebug console, the browser closes09:15
ikoniaanli_: there clearly is a bug there - but only for selected configurations09:15
otoadyI'm tired.  the cd writer won't recognize media either ... tomorrow09:16
airtonixikonia, firestarter ICS features do more than gnomes network manager then ? (because i have used firestarter to do the whole thing from dns server and forwarding)09:16
ikoniaairtonix: look down the list and the ammount of people having to alerter routes and the like09:16
anli_ikonia: ok, so how do I install a 32-bit firefox?09:16
ikoniaairtonix: yes, firestarter is a full on firewall that can do forwarding09:16
anli_ikonia: Has to be made by hand, I suppose?09:16
ikoniaanli_: you'll have to pull that from the firefox site I'm afraid09:16
anli_ok09:16
ikoniaanli_: have you tried removing firebug, restarting the browser, confirming it works then re-installing firebug09:17
ikoniaanli_: the new browser may benifit from a new install of firebug09:17
airtonixikonia, thanks for the clarification09:17
ikoniaanli_: also did anything else get updated with firefox ?09:17
ikoniaanli_: need to pop out now, but I'd strongly advise a clean firebug install and a reboot to make sure all your updates took effect09:18
anli_ikonia: When I opened the firefox window, no suggestions to update the plugins were made, but I uninstalled firebug and installed it09:18
anli_ikonia: thx09:20

hydesteri have searched online and it isn't clear to me if Xen will be supported via the standard ubuntu karmic distro with building custom kernels, etc.  anybody know?10:34

pingfloyddamnbadluck: one common cause for failed installs is bad download (be sure to check the hash against the iso) or a bad CD burn10:35

acsiaI am trying to upgrade from gutsy to hardy and I get a couple of 404 as the upgrade tries to hit against http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-backports/main/source/Sources.gz11:15

Quan-Timehaving problems mounting an iso.  tried furius ISO mount, and gmount... to no avail.. ideas ? its a .iso file (dvd size)11:16
damnbadluck2chelz: how do i move files when permission is denied?11:16
acsiait seems that it tries to grab the subdomain from sources.list but that is for obsolete releases11:16
michaeldobrovitsKilev, the only diffrence between i3 and i7 is that i3 is dual core and doesn't have intel turbo boost11:17
Mateo_i have a problem with wubi and the last ubuntu... my computer has shutted down, and on reboot, i have a GRUB4DOS ... menuend: 0x.... just after selecting ubuntu in grub11:17
kilevyes i'm not after difference so do you know if i7 works with latest ubuntu if it does then probably i3 will work too11:17
sebsebsebacsia: yeah stuff like that,  repos becoming bad when releases are no longer supported, and then making trying to upgrade to a supported release an issue11:18

sebsebsebMateo_: oh dear hrm,  there is a way to access  a  Wubi,  that won't boot up I mean just for the data, but  not sure how to do that11:23
root51vista look alike11:23
meowbuntudamnbadluck2, that will give you the file browser nautlius as root.11:23
Prajwalroot51 you can add your own xsplash images :)11:23
meowbuntuindus, eighter will work11:23
sebsebsebMateo_: anyway what I was going to suggest is to just do a normal dual boot,  but first you want to get hold of that data  I guess11:23
drlajperhaps this is a silly question... is there a naming convention for folders: should I use lowercase or uppercase letters for my own folders?11:23

indusmeowbuntu, there is a reason why gksu should be used for gui apps11:23

indusmeowbuntu, it can mess up permissions if used with sudo11:24
meowbuntuindus, i use sudo just fine from live cd ubuntu to do same other day11:24
indus!gksu11:24
ubottuIf you need to run graphical applications as root, use Ā« gksudo Ā», as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)11:24
michaeldobrovitskilev, the only kernel demand is smp, and it's there already11:24
Mateo_sebsebseb: it's not working when i choose ubuntu11:24
Prajwalroot51 you will find a folder xsplash replace the images and logos there11:24
sebsebsebMateo_: ok and in Ubuntu you have some important data?11:24
Prajwali dont remember the path exactly11:24
meowbuntuok damnbadluck2 use gksu nautilus then11:24
sebsebsebMateo_: that is not backed up some where else as well?11:24
Mateo_i do sebsebseb11:24
damnbadluck2meowbuntu:  permission still denied11:25
sebsebsebMateo_: ok well  it is possible to get hold of it, without booting Ubuntu from Wubi,  however I do not know the details for that.     Once you have the data, I suggest just doing a porper partitioned dual boot.  So first you should re size Windows 7 using Windows 7 if it's like Vista, or data loss might happen.  Then it's just set up a dual boot like normal.11:25
MyrttiMaja___: do you have Ubuntu support question?11:26

Myrttiksbalaji: you removed the daily ppa from the sources, and cleared your package cache?11:31

ginedi_turneralex__: tehnically speaking yes, it's not hacking... but hackers take care of stuff like this11:32
sebsebsebksbalaji:   Probably better really to stay with  the Firefox  3.5 (with the security updates).  People who upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04, which will be released at the end of April,  will get the later Firefox.11:32

sebsebsebksbalaji: ,but when the final is released it's easy to upgrade to it from 8.0411:46

michaeldobrovitsneed help creating custom modeline11:51
sebsebsebksbalaji: upgrade then,  no Ext4 on upgrade though,  or Grub 2 as far as I know, but you don't need those anyway,   anyway April 29th is when it comes out, but the first day or two, the download servers will be packed, and so downloads will take quite a while11:51
ouyesmichaeldobrovits, sudo nautilus11:51
ouyessudo: nautilus: command not found  as i said i am in xubuntu11:51
erUSULScreamo_Smurf: with what step? or what is the error you are getting?11:51

erUSUL!gksudo | ouyes11:51
ubottuouyes: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use Ā« gksudo Ā», as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)11:52
sanderj_Hi. Why does /etc/debian_version have "lenny/sid".. in my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS os?11:52
ouyessebsebseb,  see my private message please11:52
AceKinganubhav, I wouldn't think so, but I can't get mine to switch computers. It worked fine before. Maybe something happened to the switch. I figured I'd ask before buying a new switch. Thanks11:52
michaeldobrovitsScreamo_Smurf, do you say that internet to your xbox goes trough the computer and works but on the host ubuntu machine you can't use the internet ah?11:52

ribotScreamo_Smurf: 9.0912:03
diablo-sghi ubuntuan :)12:03
Myrttiksbalaji: the system probes what hardware it's on and probably won't complain at all. but you should try the live cd perhaps first12:03
michaeldobrovitsouyes, do sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g12:03
Myrttiribot: there is no 9.0912:03
michaeldobrovitsouyes,without do12:04

ubottucoz_: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) was the first release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30, 2006. See !eol for more details.12:05
lucky4linuxi have 8.10 and I want 9.10.  9.04 has graphic problems with my system. I want to directly upgrade to 9.10 form 8.04. is it possible ?12:05
ribotgood to know Myrtti :)12:05
Myrttilucky4linux: no.12:05
lucky4linuxi mean from 8.1012:05
coz_sebsebseb,  yep I have all the disks right here  :12:05
coz_:)12:05
Screamo_SmurfMyrtti12:05
ribotso i can download wvdial from windows somehow, then install on linux=12:06
sebsebsebcoz_: I have used them all except that one, still not got round to virtual maching it to try you know12:06
Myrttilucky4linux: you can upgrade from LTS to LTS and from previous version to next without big problems. The other methods require you to upgrade one release at a time.12:06
ouyesmichaeldobrovits, i have installed it  already12:06
Myrttilucky4linux: or clean reinstall.12:06
lucky4linuxMyrtti  thx12:06
MyrttiScreamo_Smurf: you can try to change your dns settings, but I'm not really an expert on it.12:06
coz_sebsebseb,  4.10 was ...as you can guess ... not real great   but    I will have to try it again soon to be reminded of the progress :)12:06
ksbalajilucky4linux. Myrtti, thanks for the idea! bye for now!12:06
Screamo_Smurfhow do i do that?12:07
Screamo_Smurf:/12:07
Screamo_Smurfhmm i cant ping my dns12:07
sebsebsebcoz_: yeah exactly progress be reminded of it by trying older releases.   I started with second release,  but this is off topic, let's continue a bit in pm :)12:07
coz_sebsebseb,  sounds good12:08
MyrttiScreamo_Smurf: can you ping 8.8.8.812:08
michaeldobrovitsouyes, after ntfs 3g installed you can move and erase inside the ntfs m i right?12:08
Screamo_SmurfMyrtti yes i can12:08
JonathanEllisI am a driving instructor. I need to manage my client's appointments and I would like to manage their accounts at the same time within the same app. So I would like an app that allows me to book appointments for my clients but also  keeps track of which lessons they have paid for and allows me to summarise whose accounts are in debit / credit and how much money I have taken in a year. Is there an application that can do this or do I need to write it 12:08
ouyeslucky4linux,  it is hard, why not try to download 9.10 then make an installation,keep the data of your  home directory12:09
Screamo_Smurfits kinda annoying when you cant access internet and your brother has been playing on xbl the past 11 hours :(12:09
ouyesmichaeldobrovits,  i still can not copy files from ntfs partition to my ext4 home directory12:10
MyrttiScreamo_Smurf: you can try this https://store.opendns.com/setup/operatingsystem/ubuntu12:10
lucky4linuxouyes great idea, but i have to install other software again in the new system :(12:10
ribotis it safe to install a deb file, for apt-get usage later?12:11
Screamo_SmurfMyrtti no internet :(12:11
Screamo_Smurfis there maybe a command for manualy setting the dns address?12:11
ouyeslucky4linux,  it is quite different between two normal releases of ubuntu , so making fresh installation will save your a lot of time compared to upgrade(the download will last a long time)12:11
MyrttiScreamo_Smurf: you can try this https://208.69.38.150/setup/operatingsystem/ubuntu12:11
lucky4linuxouyes ok :) I will do it12:12
ouyeslucky4linux,  no mate you can backup packages before you make the installation,12:12
Screamo_SmurfMyrtti well the site cam up but said page not found12:12
michaeldobrovitsouyes, try thunar alone12:12
MyrttiScreamo_Smurf: Right-click on ā€˜Network Iconā€™ (located at top-right panel by default) and click on ā€˜Edit Connectionsā€™ to open Network Connections Manager.12:12

Dr_WillisAkmens:  you cant  have 4 primaries AND a extended. one primary must become the extended12:33
sebsebsebouyes: ok12:33
Mateo_sebsebseb: in fact  it looks like it's probably the grub that is corrupted ...12:33
mmerlonehi all, greetings from Brasil!12:33
ksbalajiMyrtti, thanks and ubottu is becoming clever. Wherefrom it got the cue?12:33
AkmensDr_Willis: i need 5 partitions12:33
Dr_WillisAkmens:  and my answer is still the same.. you MUST make use of an extended partion then and put extra partions in there12:33
AkmensDr_Willis: i need to delete sda4, mane sda4 extend and sda5?12:33
Dr_WillisAkmens:  a extended can hold several logical partions12:33
ouyesit is so strange, i can mount,  create files, delete files, but i just can not copy files, what is wrong? i can not copy files from a ntfs partition to a ext4 filesystem(my home directory012:33
mmerloneI am trying 'apt-get install apt-show-versions' on a 8.04.4 and get the error 'Weak references are not implemented in the version of perl at /usr/lib/perl5/AptPkg/hash.pm line 8' after '** initializing cache. This may take a while **'12:34
AkmensDr_Willis: so i cant make that unallocated as partition if i dont delete sda4?12:34
mmerloneI could not find anything useful from google...12:34
rcombook thanks i'll try that12:34
Screamo_SmurfJimi_Neutral if you want to know google dns servers are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.412:34
Dr_WillisAkmens: nore more then 4 base (primary or extended)  partions.. so correct..12:34
mmerlonecan anybody help me?12:35
decoderMyrtti: i found it, its a bug in ubuntu... wine1.2 pulls in ttf symbol replacement fonts.. once I uninstall them, everything works again as expected12:35
AkmensDr_Willis: strange that i cant make it now as extended :/12:35
Jimi_Neutralhow do i set the dns servers...i know how to in windows but i am new to linux...i have set it up with a static address and it worked fine12:35
Dr_WillisAkmens:  if you want to use the space resize sda4 or sda312:35
Dr_WillisAkmens:  you can NOT have 4 primaries AND an extended.. that would be 5 partions.12:35
Myrttidecoder: ah, guessed it had to be something wrong with the fonts. Wine doesn't suprise me at all12:35
Dr_WillisAkmens:  the use of a /boot partion is a bit outdated thse days and proberly not needed12:36
decoderMyrtti: my guess is the regular ttf symbol font is overruled by the ttf symbol font from wine12:36
decoderwhich is a problem12:36
AkmensDr_Willis: that boot partition is for gentoo, and there is its kernel, so i cant delete it12:36
AkmensDr_Willis: i cant, but then ill have to compile it again12:36
Dr_WillisYou can set up gentoo to not use a /boot/ partion.12:37

Screamo_Smurfah damn it there went my dns :(12:37
Screamo_Smurfhad it for 10 mins then gone12:37
MOODYway a.q.12:37
MyrttiJimi_Neutral: where you set up the static address? on the Graphical dialog for it? you can change your dns in the same place12:38
Dr_WillisAkmens:  my normal layout 4 partions total -> (primary sda1 )(primary sda2)(primary sda3) (extended, logical (sda4) logical sda5))12:38
Dr_WillisAkmens:  it has 3 primaries + 1 extended thats holding 2 logicals.. => 5 partitions total12:38

Dr_WillisAkmens:  the extended partion is techincally 'sda4')12:39

Dr_WillisAkmens:  if you wan tto use its space. resize the aprtions next to it.12:41
Jimi_NeutralMyrtti, in /etc/network interfaces12:41
Screamo_Smurfcandy did it say dependencie not satisfied?12:41
Dr_WillisAkmens:  then you can make a new one in the unallocated space.12:41
Dr_WillisAkmens:  but they will be 'out of numeracal order' so that can confuse things12:41
AkmensDr_Willis: ok, ill try to remember it12:41
candyScreamo_Smurf, no it says something like your packet has been corrupted12:42
Screamo_Smurfhmm i dont know12:42
Screamo_Smurftry redownloading it12:42
MyrttiJimi_Neutral: you can start by making a backup of a file, with sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.auto12:42
Hiramdoes anyone know how to see what the largest contiguous block of free memory you have is?12:42
candyScreamo_Smurf, it says packet might be corrupted or u r not allowed to open the file. check the permission of the file12:43
candyScreamo_Smurf, what to do??12:43
MyrttiJimi_Neutral: then you edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf , you can do it with sudo nano or gksudo gedit or whatever you prefer12:43

Otacon22UniDoes anyone knows how can I update my kernel version on ubuntu 9.10 ?13:33
Otacon22Uniwich is the meta-package to install?13:33
icek0ldapt-get dist-upgrade13:33
Dr_Williszilkomaa:  check google for the 'ubuntu-tweak' tool. but we have to wonder what sort of tweaks you are looking for,13:34
Otacon22Uniyes, but on dist-upgrade there isn't the last kernel13:34
Dr_Williszilkomaa:  theres not a lot of tweeking needed.. except for somne settings you may like to change..13:34
BettyFord-failedi got a problem13:34
Dr_WillisOtacon22Uni:  ubuntu dosent keep cutting edge up to date with kernel versions13:34
BettyFord-failedi cannot run the tony clifton emulator13:35
BettyFord-failedi got  a error in module kaufman13:35
archboxmanOtacon22Uni: they maintain a database and only release stable kernel ... you need to try slackware or archlinux for this its a rolling release or cutting edge distro13:35
BeepBeepAnyone know what is the chatroom for Xubuntu?13:35
komsasexit13:35

BeepBeepThanks13:36
goodtimeoh man i messed up13:37
archboxmanOtacon22Uni: remember if you go to slackware or archlinux you are required to do a lot more updates and configuration of xorg and more config files and this is for a expereinced linux user...13:37
goodtimei deleted a ts file13:37
DarkDigitalDreamIf I wanted my sound to be muted after returning from hibernate mode, is there a way to do that? Opening my computer in class at 8:30 in the morning to have last nights music blasting uncontrollably for a bit causes me more trouble than I care to admit.13:37
jeroendvhi, where can i find a fortran 77 compiler for karmic in aptitude? g77 doesn't seem to exist anymore in karmic?!?13:39
Otacon22Uniarchboxman, a my firend has a wireless card wich disconnect and reconnect always and some people said me to update the kernel version to remove the problem13:39
ubuntuare there any GRUB2 know-it-alls here?13:39
llutz!find fortran13:40
jeroendv!find fortran13:40
archboxmanOtacon22Uni: first what is the range from the box and you signal strength???13:40
llutzbot sleeps13:40
archboxmanOtacon22Uni: iwlist13:40
Picijeroendv: apt-cache search fortran | grep 77   reveals a few packages that might be useful to you.  I don't know enough about Fortran to know if they definitely are though.13:41
Screamo_Smurfoh man :(13:41
Otacon22Uniarchboxman, the access point is at 1 mt of distance -.-13:41
indusubuntu hello13:41
Screamo_Smurfmy dns wont work anymore :(13:41
indusubuntu still stuck with error 15?13:42
archboxmanOtacon22Uni: came to right man those are radio waves if your to close the signal can pass over the access point13:42
Screamo_Smurfstill cant get it to use a custom dns server :'(13:42
llutzjeroendv: gfortran13:42
zilkomaaDr_Willis: Thank you for your reply, i have ubuntu tweak. Well i mean is there like a  need for processor driver etc?..i'll have done pretty much all what after install is good to do.13:43
JonathanEllisIs there an appointment management app for Ubuntu that handles billing?13:43
DexterLBhi13:43

jekeI amtrying to unload the vmnet module however it is used by one other module accoring to lsmod "vmnet                  40060  1"  I do not know how to find the module that is using vmnet how would i find this out?13:45
archboxmanOtacon22Uni: the other problem is if the laptop or desktop has shielding on the sides or bottom the signal will also miss the access point because it is one directional antenna instead of a omni directional annneta short for all around directional antenna13:46
xroi have a trouble with cron... www-data (apache user) has to start remote shell with cron... i write command in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/www-data , but it's like cron nerver read this file....13:46
DexterLBhmm internet connection dropped13:47
Picijeroendv: You could try fort77 and f2c13:47
DexterLBso I'll repeat the question13:47
DexterLBI have a server that is only CLI, and has no soundcerd. Can I install pulseaudio there and make devices discoverable on other computers?13:47
bigpreshxro: Use the crontab command to edit crontabs, don't edit directly in /var/spool/cron/crontabs13:47
bigpreshxro: e.g. sudo crontab -e -u www-data13:47
SlartDexterLB: I can't see a reason why you shouldn't be able to run pulseaudio on a computer without a sound card.. not really sure what you mean by "discoverable" though.. you can play audio on another computer using pulseaudio if that's what you mean13:48
bigpreshxro: Also, make sure that all commands you put in the crontab end with a newline; at least some cron daemons will silently ignore ones which don't (e.g. if it's the last line of the file)13:48
DexterLBSlart: yes, that's what I mean13:48
SlartDexterLB: afaik that's one of the major features of pulseaudio.. that is's network transparent13:49
DexterLBSlart: but I have no experience with pulseaudio's config files, I've only used the GUI's, so I'm a n00b there13:49
zumbrujmhi all, just wondering how online documentation is typically stored: html files, database entries, or xml documents.13:49
DexterLBSlart: could you link to a tutorial or something?13:49
SlartDexterLB: there is a pulseaudio manager.. "paman". Try using that13:49
DexterLBoh ok13:49
SlartDexterLB: I've never configured pulseaudio using config files directly13:50

SlartDexterLB: hang.. let me see what I can find13:51
jussi01DexterLB: you may want to ask in #ubuntu-server13:51
DexterLBwell I'm not using ubuntu server13:52
DexterLBI'm using regular ubuntu13:52
DexterLBbut with gui removed13:52
bigpreshxro: I believe crond will ignore you, as the changes should be made with the crontab command13:52
indusSPhcT, which webcam? generally drivers ar enot required13:53
bigpreshxro: You can overwrite the current crontab with one from a file using 'crontab -e -u username filename'13:53
bigpreshxro: Also, beware that if the machine is configured correctly, the www-data user won't have a shell.  If that's the case, cron won't run any commands for them13:54
SlartDexterLB: couldn't really find anything useful about running pulseaudio without X.. launchpad seems to be offline at the moment13:54
xrobigpresh, i added a shell13:55
xrobigpresh, crontab -e -u www-data /var/spool/cron/crontabs/www-data   -->  crontab: usage error: no arguments permitted after this option13:56
zumbrujmjoin /##php-support13:56
SlartDexterLB: this might be useful http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/CLI13:57
bigpreshxro: Apologies, omit the -e option if you want it to read a crontab from a file, as opposed to launching an editor to edit the crontab13:57
DexterLBthanks13:57
xrobigpresh, crontab -u www-data /var/spool/cron/crontabs/www-data  that works fine13:58
xrobigpresh, but that means i can't edit my crontab with python?13:58
xrobigpresh, or should do a --> os.system("crontab -u www-data /var/spool/cron/crontabs/www-data")13:59
bigpreshxro: That ought to work, if a bit bodgy13:59

SetiAmonhey with linux do you need to worry about "secure deletion" i mean if i delete something in linux is it really deleted?14:02
miliear11114:02
kworkSetiAmon,  if you delete smt in any operating system is it really deleted ?14:03
michaeldobrovitsSetiAmon, no, check for shred command14:03
bigpreshSetiAmon: The space on disk is marked as no longer used, but the data is still there, and could be retrieved14:03
xrobigpresh, ok so it's not possible to directly write in the crontab files... it works in /etc/crontab but not in /var/spool/cron/.../www-data     do you understant it?14:03
michaeldobrovitsSetiAmon, if it doesn't exist install it in synaptics14:03
SetiAmonYeah I have SRM i generally do a   srm * -V when i want to get rid of files14:03
bigpreshxro: Yes - you shouldn't mess with the files in /var/spool/cron as I originally said :)14:03
bigpreshxro: Or, if you do mess with them, be aware that crond won't notice14:04
SetiAmonSo other then SRM and LVX is there anyway to improve my security?14:04
bigpreshSetiAmon: Don't store stuff you don't want someone to find? :)14:04
michaeldobrovitsSetiAmon, shreding the disc14:04

SetiAmonBigpresh:well thats kind of diffacult,dont you have personal or business information on your computer you don't want others to find?14:07
bigpreshSetiAmon: I was joking, hence the smiley14:07
bigpreshSetiAmon: To securely delete a file, try the 'shred' command as mentioned by michaeldobrovits14:08
bigpreshSetiAmon: You could also consider whole-disc encryption, which will help if the hardware was physically stolen14:08
SPhcTbigpresh: ty for now...14:09
Vkr324Hey everyone, I have a triple boot Vista-Ubuntu-Ubuntu (2 versions) and I want to remove one of the versions of ubuntu (just one, i need the other one). Do I simply reclaim that partition? effect should be GRUB with dual boot Vista-Ubuntu14:09
al1irvI've got anAsus eeepc model 904 running XP wjat's thebest to put on on it, ubuntu remix, eeebuntu or easypeasy and what's the difference?14:10
michaeldobrovitsSetiAmon, encryption can be dencrypted but it will need the goverment to come and get a warrent to use somekind of super computer to decrypt14:10
michaeldobrovitsSetiAmon, if this is not the deal you can just shred and make the data overwritten by anychance of recovery14:11
sebsebsebVkr324: Where is Grub  installed, into the MBR like normal?14:12
Vkr324yes14:12
=== bdsm is now known as xmmsxine
sebsebsebVkr324: Ok one of those versions of Ubuntu well it's Grub, will control your Grub, any idea which?14:12
manchurianhello is there anybody with experience of mantis on ubuntu?14:12
Vkr324i guess the first one I put on there seeing as i used grub from that point on. or does overlaying another ubuntu give that ubuntu the grub?14:13
Vkr324any way of checking this?14:13
sebsebsebVkr324: typing wrong thing there, anyway I mean to put  that  one of those versions of Ubuntu, it's Grub will control it all14:13
sebsebsebVkr324: Which versions are on there? Which did you put on first?14:13
=== FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa
Vkr324first the 8.04, then the most recent one, but that one doesn't seem to agree with my asus so I'd like to remove it for now14:14
sebsebsebVkr324: if you delete the wrong /boot   your Grub boot longer will no longer work14:14
sebsebsebVkr324: well it will show Grub menu, but it won't boot stuff14:14
manchurianmantis can not send e-mail to new users signed up14:14
Vkr324yeah I figured, any way of figuring out which of the two is controlling the grub?14:14
sebsebsebVkr324: ok14:14
sebsebsebVkr324: then you put 9.10 on,  and it just worked/14:15
sebsebseb?14:15
sebsebsebVkr324: could boot them both up?14:15
Vkr324yeah it all boots fine, but there's some issues in the latest version i have not time to deal with for the moment, so i'd like to get rid of that partition14:15
manchuriannobody?14:16
sebsebsebVkr324: are you on Ubuntu now?14:16
Vkr324nope, different machine (mac)14:16
hipitihopis there a graphical diff tool that easily lets me compare files in different directories .. actually one set is via an ssh session14:16
Mateo_:(  i still have my grub problem ... i've installed ubuntu with wubi times ago, and this morning computer shutted off, after a reboot, when i choose Ubuntu on the selection page, i get a page with GRUB4DOS Memory  625K / 3063M menuend: 0x4352E14:16
sebsebsebVkr324: well first you need to find out which  install is controlling Grub14:16
sebsebsebVkr324: it's probably 8.04 since that went on first, but maybe not14:16
Vkr324ok, any way of checking this?14:16
=== TREllis_ is now known as TREllis
sebsebsebVkr324: sure, but  need to be on Ubuntu really14:17
erUSULhipitihop: meld?14:17
Vkr324also, will the grub figure out that a partition has been deleted and not show that OS in the list anymore?14:17
hipitihoperUSUL, looking it up, thanks14:17
Vkr324or will it show the os and then simply fault when you try to boot it14:17

sebsebsebVkr324: no I don't think so, but that can be edited,  hopefuly it's  the 8.04 Grub that is controlling it all, since  that's easier to deal with than this new Grub 2, for most of us14:17
howlymowlyhi guys.. short question:  i put the "swallower" applet in my gnome panel.. but I can not remove it anymore.. it keeps asking me for a window to swallow on every log in..  any idea how to remove that applet?  I am not able to click on it in the panel, since for some reason its invisible...14:18

Vkr324can't access that computer now, but I'll check once i can get to it. how do i then edit the list of OSses that the grub shows? in the remaining ubuntu right?14:20
hipitihoperUSUL, heh software center fails to install meld due to untrusted sources..checking if synaptic does better14:20

erUSULJimi_Neutral: no need to be sorry. in multiple lines is hard to follow you. so it is in your interest14:23
sebsebsebVkr324: What's your partition set up like, it seems you want to remove the other Ubuntu to make space,  if you had set up partitions properly enough in the first place, then there probably woudn't be a need to remove another partition,  other than simpally to get rid of it, because not wanting that version14:23

sebsebsebMateo_: sometimes people in here who know wubi quite well, but this doesn't seem like one of those times14:25
Vkr324small business running on ubuntu, one of my colleagues "accidentally" installed the newest ubuntu as a third boot alongside vista and U8.04, but is not pleased with it and wants to get rid of it (just wants it out of the grub list, really, for neatness). So I'll just go into Vista, delete the 9.10 partition and that's that?14:25

soreauJimi_Neutral: Sounds like a nameserver issue. What is in /etc/resolv.conf?14:25

soreauJimi_Neutral: There needs to be a line in there like this for example, to use googles public name server:  nameserver 8.8.8.814:30
Jimi_Neutralsoreau, there is nothing but what i gave you14:30
Mateo_erUSUL: yep, i'm looking for it in the guide14:30
Jimi_Neutralsoreau, i know the DNS server address we use, i can look it up on cmd on my windows laptop, that will work wont it?14:31
rcombohoonteke: no I am using both ways, with a drive emulator sometimes and always with self - testing prgm from the cd and both come up with errors14:31
sebsebsebVkr324: that's what happens when people remove Ubuntu,  and keep WIndows,  the /boot goes, but a tiny bit of Grub is still left on the MBR (Master  Boot Record) with the enteries,  but  then it can't boot stuff up because the actsaul Grub has been deleted.   Then  to boot Windows two options,  to  boot Ubuntu well Grub can be re installed.  However it's easier to not delete Grub in the first place in your case.14:31
SPhcTsoreau Genesys Logic Inc. no there are not..14:31
soreauJimi_Neutral: I would suggest commenting all those lines (by adding a # at the beginning of each) then add a line: nameserver IP14:31
SPhcTsoreau but it seems like company name for camera14:31
hoontekercombo: alright, so you've burn errors.  well, make sure you have a good ISO: boot with it inside of VirtualBox.14:32
Jimi_Neutralsoreau, they are commented14:32
soreauJimi_Neutral: Where IP is the ip address of your name server14:32
Jimi_Neutralsoreau, ok i will giev that a try14:32
sebsebsebVkr324: it's easy enough to find out which one you have,  for example go into the /boot in your 8.04 partition14:32
hoontekercombo: you also might try a different burning program: http://infrarecorder.org/14:32
soreauJimi_Neutral: Just try adding a line like: nameserver 8.8.8.8 then try to ping google.com14:32
Jimi_Neutralsoreau, do i end it with a ';'14:32
soreauJimi_Neutral: no14:32
=== deus is now known as Guest15907
=== n00b81_ is now known as n00b81
sebsebsebVkr324: uh I meant to put it's easy enough to find out which one is controlling stuff,  for example go into the /boot in your 8.04 partition.   actsaully do this gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst  then for example re name your Windows entry or one of the Ubuntu enteries, and save the file, re boot the computer and see if the changes are there.   If so good that's the Grub that is being used,  and then it's fine to just delete the 9.10 partition.14:33

Dr_Williskunji:  theres a tool called 'epidermis' that is supposed to be able to cahnge splash and other gfx like that..   personally i disabel the uselss thing14:35
soreauJimi_Neutral: What ip did you use for the name server?14:36
Jimi_Neutralsoreau, im still on the 8.8.8.8 u suggested14:36
Mateo_erUSUL: sorry but maybe you can help me, in the guide to mount from a live CD, and in the "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /win" line, i have to replace the sda1 with the correct one, but how can i find it ?14:36
kunjiI can try it, though I thought the command line method would have been most reliable.. I'll give it a shot, thanks.14:36
soreauJimi_Neutral: Try your routers internal ip (or whatever is providing that pc with the net)14:36
sebsebsebVkr324: however I guess 8.04 woudn't upgrade  that partition if doing that14:36
Jimi_Neutralsoreau, the default gateway?14:37
soreauJimi_Neutral: Like if your routers ip is 192.168.1.1, use that14:37
Vkr324so where does GRUB find the list of OSses to choose from?14:37
csirifiszkiohello everybody14:37
Jimi_Neutralsoreau, im not actually sure of it, im at work14:38
csirifiszkioi need some help14:38
sebsebsebVkr324: in /boot of the version that is controlling Grub14:38
csirifiszkioim using Karmic14:38
soreauJimi_Neutral: Well you should know it14:38
Vkr324k, that should be all I need. cheers man14:38
Gatewayguys do you know an equivalent of hyperterminal ?14:38
hoontekeVkr324: because grub has the ability to read certain filesystems, it can just read it from a file.  Historically, /boot/grub/grub.cfg or /boot/grub/menu.lst.14:38
SPhcTmaybe i find driver files what i have to do with all files14:38
llutzGateway: minicom14:38
Dr_WillisGateway:  you mean a serial terminal program? theres a few in the repos i imagine. Not used any in ages14:38
sebsebsebVkr324: you can re install Grub as well into 8.04 or well  10.04 even, assuming you upgrade that install  to  the next LTS, that's released at end of April14:39
soreau! ask | csirifiszkio14:39

ubottugrub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards.14:39
sebsebseb!grub214:39
ubottuGRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub214:39
Gatewayllutz, I've already tried but I didn't understand how to make it work14:39
soreauSPhcT: If you find the driver source code, you would have to compile and install it14:39
hoontekeVkr324: but you have to tell it /which/ harddrive and partition from which to read that file, which is what get's installed in the 1st and 1.5 boot-stage loaders.14:39
sebsebsebVkr324: now you got the links above as well, now I think you got all you need14:39
Vkr324@hoonteke so deleting a partition in vista will not update this list and grub will still show this partition, right?14:40
SPhcTsoureau how i can complete it? and install?14:40
hoontekeVkr324: correct.14:40
Jimi_Neutralsoreau, will not using the ip addresses of the DNS server looked up using cmd on my windows machine work?14:40
Vkr324k, tnx guys14:40
soreauSPhcT: It depends on what the files are14:40
hoontekesebsebseb: heh, hardly.  I've just finished doing some grub work, and the documentation leaves lots to be desired for folks who aren't gurus.14:40
sebsebsebVkr324: if you delete /boot the one that is being used14:40
hoontekebut, that is a start.14:40
csirifiszkiook, sorry. where can i change video driver in Karmic, because i used to do it in xorg.conf14:40
sebsebsebVkr324: it will be like,  what happens when people remove Ubuntu, but still have Windows on there, then  Grub can be re installed, but it's not that easy14:40
soreauJimi_Neutral: I dont understand that question14:41
SPhcTsoreau: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gl86014:41
sebsebsebhoonteke: indeed those help pages, aren't that easy to follow really for newbies14:41
Jimi_Neutralsoreau, ok i used command line in windows to type ipconfig /all and that gives me the DNS servers....can i not use them14:41
hoontekesebsebseb: more than not easy for noobs.  I'm hardly a noob, and I've had a hard time following that documentation.14:41
soreauJimi_Neutral: I dont know what you are asking.14:42
Dr_WillisGrub2 is pratically its own OS. :)14:42

Jimi_Neutralsoreau, i need to set an ip for DNS right? So you know when you type in ipconfig /all into a command window on windows it comes up with a list of ip addy, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS serves and so on....can i not use the ip addys where it says DNS servers and use them to put in the config file on this ubuntu box14:43
SPhcTSPhcT14:43
Dr_WillisI think theres more to it then  they wanted to.. :) they had a lot of things they wanted to fix in a way that it will work for the next few generations of pcs :)14:43

Jimi_Neutralsoreau, cause im guesing thats the DNS servers that this network is using14:44
kunjiJimi_Neutral: windows commands are different from the commands for linux quite often, I think the command you want is ifconfig14:44
soreauJimi_Neutral: I dont know, I dont use windows. Maybe you can try iptables or ask in #networking14:44
Jimi_Neutralkunji, thats not what i am asking but ty anyways :)14:44
Jimi_Neutralok well that does happen14:44

llutzJimi_Neutral: you can use them14:45
Jimi_Neutralllutz, ok, do they have to be seperated by a comma14:45
Dr_Willisnight all.14:46
llutzJimi_Neutral: where do you add them?14:46
soreauSPhcT: Yes, I downloaded one of the tarballs and it is source code for a linux kernel module (driver). To compile it, install build-essential then extract the folder and from that folder run the folling command to compile it: make14:46
Jimi_Neutralllutz, i have been told to add them to the resolv.conf file14:46
llutzJimi_Neutral: nameserver i.p.a.dress              single line per ip14:47
soreauSPhcT: If it builds successfully without errors, it will produce a .ko file, then you will use this command to load this driver: sudo insmod file.ko14:47
llutzJimi_Neutral: they will be overwritten at reboot14:47

However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)15:27

nevstahPelo: i just ran apt-get purge <program> and that did the trick15:42
soreauSPhcT: It is relatively difficult to write drivers. If something changes in the kernel that the driver relies on, it wont work. I think if you find the right version of the code compatible with your kernel, it will work15:42

zealoti dont know why they still include gparted with ubuntu16:55
ActionParsnipMateo_, there may be guides on how to mount the file under linux otherwise I have no idea16:55
zealotbut it has segfaulted every single time ive used it16:55
sebsebsebActionParsnip: he has tried something, but didn't work out for him16:55
zealotand ruined all the data on my hardddrive16:56
sebsebsebActionParsnip: I guess he was doing something wrong16:56
ActionParsnipzealot: its really useful for partitioning disks16:56
zealotuse cfdisk16:56
zealotno its not16:56
zealoti mean16:56
zealotits useful in that it has a nice graphical interface16:56
ActionParsnipzeltak, thats your poor use o the app then, gparted is a great app16:56
sebsebsebzealot: gparted is useful16:56
zealotbut its completely unstable16:56
=== Pupeno_ is now known as Pupeno
sebsebsebzealot: if you don't want to use gparted, just use manual instal16:56
zealotand is prone to crash right in the middle of partitioning16:56
zealotand corrupt all the data on everything16:56
zealotso use cfdisk16:57
ActionParsnipzealot, did you update gparted before using it?16:57
slnnerya i had no problems with gparted16:57
sebsebsebMateo_: well patience I guess,  there will be someone here later who can help  you with Wubi probably16:57
zealotzealot: of course not it was on the ubuntu livecd16:57
zealoti just threw out the livecd and got the alternate install cd16:57
slnneranyone know how to enable active scripting under wine?16:57
ActionParsnipzealot, you can still update the envioronment n the livecd16:57

zealotActionParsnip: when i can just use fdisk or cfdisk16:57
slnnerthx ActionParsnip16:58
sipiorActionParsnip: tab-complete failure? :-)16:58
zealotcfdisk is probably the easiest partitioner you could ever use16:58
yaaarhowdy16:58
ActionParsnipzealot, there will most likely be an upddate for it which fixes bugs etc like any other update16:58
Mateo_sebsebseb: if at least i could get my data back ... that would be wonderfull :)16:58
zealotand its never caused me any problems16:58
ActionParsnipzealot,it may fix the issue you are having16:58
sebsebsebMateo_: you can also try ubuntuforums16:58

ActionParsnipzealot, read you EULA dude16:59
zealotActionParsnip: why?16:59
sebsebsebzealot: gparted is a good program16:59
ActionParsnipzealot, linux comes with zero garuntees and no sla16:59
zealotActionParsnip: I know canonical isnt responsible for any damages16:59
ppaulhusllutz: and what exactly is the difference between s or S ?16:59
zealotim just trying to tell other people here16:59
zealotdont mess around with gparted16:59
sebsebsebzealot: no17:00
sebsebsebzealot: it works for most people just fine17:00
ActionParsnipzealot, i've never had an issue with it personally17:00
zealotcause you might ruin your other partitions17:00
zealotjust stick with something thats tried and true17:00
zealotlike fdisk17:00
zealotor cfdisk17:00
sebsebsebzealot: gparted is tried and used17:00
zealotnah17:00
sipiorzealot: yes, "easy to use" for our new users :-)17:00
zealotevery time i used it it segfaulted while partitioning17:00
sebsebsebzealot: also most people don't use the commands  or anything that would run in the shell, to set up partitions, that do Ubuntu17:00
zealotand i used several different versions17:00
ActionParsnipzealot, you are using linux though so you are not forced to use gparted in any way17:01

popeye_MARK SHUTTLEWORTH AND CANONICAL ANNOUNCE LINUX FOR NIGGERS17:11
popeye_FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE17:11
popeye_ISLE OF MAN - June 1, 2006 - At a press conference today, Canonical CEO and Free Software spokesman Mark Shuttleworth announced the immediate availability of version 6.06 of the Ubuntu Linux distribution. The latest version, known by its code name, "The Diaper Drake," includes special features designed to make Linux easier and more comfortable for niggers the world over.17:11
popeye_"Niggers have always had trouble understanding new technology," Shuttleworth began. "Computers are no exception. Some people have said this is because niggers are dumb, but I believe the real problem is that technology has traditionally been designed for white people. Ubuntu changes all that. It was developed from the ground up with niggers in mind. It will usher in a whole new era of Afro-ergonomic computing."17:11
FloodBot2popeye_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.17:11
Mateo_ActionParsnip: i'm reading this:: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How%20can%20I%20access%20my%20Wubi%20install%20and%20repair%20my%20install%20if%20it%20won%27t%20boot?  but how can i get the device name (sda1 or sda2) when i'm on the liveCD please ?17:12
FloodBot2popeye_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.17:12
popeye_"Niggers have always had trouble understanding new technology," Shuttleworth began. "Computers are no exception. Some people have said this is because niggers are dumb, but I believe the real problem is that technology has traditionally been designed for white people. Ubuntu changes all that. It was developed from the ground up with niggers in mind. It will usher in a whole new era of Afro-ergonomic computing."17:12
popeye_Shuttleworth presented an overview of some of the features users could expect in the latest version of Ubuntu, including an Ebonics-to-English converter, African "tribal beats" sound and desktop theme, and a collection of rap music and gay pornography, "which of course will be encoded using patent and royalty-free formats," Shuttleworth added, smiling. He proceeded to elaborate, but OpenOffice.org Impress crashed at that point.17:12
popeye_"But this release isn't just about new features," Shuttleworth said, making a quick segue to the humanitarian and ideological concept behind Ubuntu. "This new version brings black men closer together than ever in the spirit of Ubuntu." Shuttleworth then demonstrated the concept of Ubuntu by getting on his knees and sucking a young black boy's erect penis.17:12
popeye_About Canonical17:12
popeye_Canonical Ltd. is committed to the development,distribution and promotion of open source software products, and to providing tools and support to the open source community. Canonical is a global organization headquartered in the Isle of Man, with employees throughout Europe, North America, South America and Australia. Canonical is a technology partner of the Gay Nigger Association of America, of which it holds a 36% equity stake.17:12

flootenkerpStrange, I deleted the .compiz folder and restarted, but all my settings persist17:16
ActionParsnipMateo_, sudo fdisk -l17:16
flootenkerpUnless the settings are saved somewhere else17:16
soreauflootenkerp: compiz settings are not stored in ~/.compiz17:17

flootenkerpErm, that's the issue17:17
perlsyntax_i hope it 3D17:17
soreauActionParsnip: They're not stored there either if you're using the default backend17:17
flootenkerpThe reason I'm deleting the settings is because I CAN'T SEE THE COMPIZ WINDOW17:18
ActionParsnipperlsyntax_, ati.com has a driver, make sure your version of xorg is supported by it. i dont use ati cards personally17:18
flootenkerpApologies for caps.17:18

perlsyntax_ does anyone use ATI video cards in here?17:19
soreauflootenkerp: Then get to sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects and set to None17:19
ActionParsnipflootenkerp, do it in root recovery console then or s another user which can use sudo17:19
soreauflootenkerp: That will start metacity, then you can make changes in ccsm to undo whatever you did17:19

acicula!sound17:51
DavidJHeinrichbut why am I hearing myself!17:51
ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP317:51
aciculaeh?17:51
aciculayou just said it didnt work?17:52
SPhcTboourns, it show also if problem is on my system disk or only external drives17:52
DavidJHeinrichok, in GNOME Alsa Mixer, I can adjust many things, including Mic & Mic Boost...if I turn Mic or Mic Boost down to zero, I don't hear echos of my own keyboard typing into my headset17:52
vhborges88hey guys, can anyone help me? i just cant update ubuntu :(17:52
kane77acicula, he said it does not record the sound17:52
DavidJHeinrichthe mic is picking up my keyboard strokes and amplifying them into my head17:52
macman_according to this i shouldn't install x64 ubuntu17:52
aciculaoh like so17:52
DavidJHeinrichbut yet, I can't record anything17:53
boournskane77, i have like 100 short avi's i need to append together, they are all xvid/mp3 and the same resolution... but when i do it with an avidemux script, the audio always loses sync... i even did audio normalizing, makes no difference17:53

aciculamacman_: there are only a few select non-open source programs that arent available in 64bit17:54
Myrttirasstar: new themes is a lame excuse to download something that limits your options for support17:55

rasstardoesn't really matter to me17:56
macoDavidJHeinrich: that is, the sound may go from your mic to your speakers directly, without ever reaching the OS17:56
aciculaDavidJHeinrich: i think that has more to do with the SC itself, but dunno, all i can do is point you to the sound trouble shooting card17:56
DavidJHeinrichmaco: but if that's so, why is it controllable by the GNOME  Alsa Sound mixer?17:56
Myrtti!ultimate | rasstar, good luck with it then.17:57
ubotturasstar, good luck with it then.: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition17:57

harjot__what could hwelp me for my mic then?18:41
calrikPelo: in order to mount the network share does that mean I have to install NFS?18:41
llutzcalrik: no, just use ssh18:41
Pelocalrik, nfs or samba , those are the usual18:41
Pelocalrik, ssh will work to18:41
calrikok sweet I get ssh install I will use that18:41
llutzcalrik: rsync -aux / user@host:/mnt/new/18:41

_TristanHello. I have two partitions of the same distro on my computer. On one gtk can't find any engines, on the other it can. I want to solve this by copying over files/folders from the good partition. What should I copy over?18:56
mezquitalehwilde, in karmic it's possible to have "/home" encrypted in its own partition and then just have "/" in another partition so that appz will run fast, right?18:57
hwildemezquitale, yes I believe you encrypt any partition you want18:57
mezquitalepiero, you can talk about that in the #offtopic-channel or you can ask again and hopefully someone that knows the answer will reply, if you see no reply try at another time18:58
webbb82when i goto install ubuntu to the unallocated space it says i cant because i already have too many main partitions but the only ones i have are the windows 7 one and the backup partition can anyone please help a noob?18:58

Jason1linux media players that support switching between multiple playlists-  anyone know? windows refugee here- srry if stupid question.19:00
mezquitalewebbb82, most likely you have more than one primary partition due to windows 7 install, use paste bin WARNING: use paste bin or you will be booted, use paste bin and show us the output of "sudo fdisk -l"19:00

Jason1Thanks hwilde19:01
mezquitale_Tristan, it's not as easy as you make it sound, if you wanted an actual copy you could use gparted to make an exact copy of your partition and copy it to your other partition, what youre attempting to do is not reasonable, youre trying to perform a magic trick19:01

Jason1thanks blakkheim.19:03
mezquitalewebbb82, your problem is that you have about 4 extended partitions.  Yes, deleting the backup partition could help, it all depends on the location of the backup partition.  What you want to do is delete a partition, then free up some space on your hard drive, then create an extended partition19:03
PiciSPhcT: That is what the readme file looks like?19:03
hwilde_Tristan, what do u want to do?  sorry I missed the original19:03
djtuxyHello19:03
mezquitalewebbb82, my apologies, i wanted to say your problem is that you ahve more than 4 PRIMARY partitions19:03
pdg1blackkheim, that only opens it in a different editor. I'm looking to do the not so very manual way. if there is such a thing19:03
SPhcTPici, no thats are likts to files what i have19:03

blip-hi, I just upgraded to xubuntu 9.10.   When I have xfce4-power-manager running, it makes the laptop brightness go up and down in steps of 2..... such that I only have 3 brightness settings.     If I kill the xfce power manager then the brightness controls are back to normal (but of course no OSD).   any ideas why this happens ?    gnome-power-manager doesn't have this problem19:04
_Tristanhwilde: I want to copy everything gtk-related from one partition to another because gtk can't find its engines on this partition19:04
blakkheimpdg1: it would be good to learn how to add things to it19:04
mezquitalewebbb82, now create an extended partition and allocate the 250 gigs to the extended partition19:04
SPhcTPici, so you can get them and see readme and all other stuff what is there19:04

pdg1blakkheim, alright... I suppose I am looking for a lazy mans route. I know I've done it a few times before, I just find it a pain in the but everytime I install a new system and end up having to edit fstab for each machine19:06
mezquitalewebbb82, that is OK, you can have up to 4 primary partitions but youre not allowed to have more partitions after that, you can have 3 primary partitions and an extended partition, the extended partition should allow you to create more than 4 partitions19:06
djtuxymsi u10019:06

nytek_webbb82: do you have to?19:07
webbb82no but i dunno what els todo19:07
hwildewebbb82, you should stop immediately and make a complete image of your harddrive before you go any further.19:07
Pelowebbb82, do not delete the recovery partitons unless you never ever ever intend to restore your system to it's factory settngs19:07
djtuxynytek_ yes i have it but, i cant install my wireless adapter because i have to do an update of the drivers and i can't connect by adsl :S19:07
mezquitalewebbb82, i cant say unless i knew what your hard drive looked it, apparently running "sudo fdisk -l" would show us how you have your hard drive partitioned, use paste bin19:07
nytek_webbb82: it doesnt matter if you have them or not, because most os's have all the drivers anyways. especially the ones you need19:08
webbb82i got the recovery cd from the factory so no matter what i can reinstall windows 719:08

mezquitalechristof, i would use a router, it's easier plus the fact that some ISP's dont like you using ICS, they would rather you use a router19:18
PiciSPhcT: I don't know then, that is what thos instructions say to do.19:18
christofyeah,cant afford one this month19:18
zig_Additionally, most the articles that I read direct one to set the priority to the max, which also doesn't make sense to me. It would make more sense to set the swap files as the same priority to effect striping... maybe. But using a thumbdrive as swap is _not_ fast19:18
christofmy bro (2nd pc) just switched to ubuntu19:19

emghazalMy HP laptop has some extra buttons (mute, volume up/down, play/pause, stop, wireless on/off, etc), they can be changed from System->Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts (they have names like "XF86AudioMute"). But I can't change the wireless on/off button (it turns bluetooth on/off instead of wifi). When I click a command in Keyboard Shortcuts then press that button, it doesn't get recorded, but all other buttons do. Any ideas?19:25
iWolfAnswer it, then hit enter19:25
Aethelredllcoolhodge: is that a question?19:25
wasutton3llutz, does that create a timestamp with that?19:25
llcoolhodgeis what a question19:25
macollcoolhodge: it is quite possible you have hit a driver bug and simply need to file a bug and wait for it to be fixed19:25
iWolfmaco: No19:25
SPhcTPici, done19:25
iWolfmaco: It's happened with SEVERAL other people19:25
llutzwasutton3: yes19:25
llcoolhodgeit was working fine19:26

macollcoolhodge: ok i missed the start of this. what happened?19:26
llcoolhodgeand then i tried to watch some pron too and it cutout everything and i restarted the computer19:26
PiciSPhcT: now cd back into the gdspca-randomletters folder19:26
iWolfmaco: No sound19:26

macoiWolf: that is meaningless19:26
SPhcTPici, done19:26
=== zig is now known as zig_
PiciSPhcT: run make19:26
macoiWolf: could be muted, could be broken driver, could be the sound device hogged by another application19:27
iWolfmaco: I'm sure it would alert you about a broken driver19:27
SPhcTPici, works19:27
llcoolhodgethe sound device at the time was hogged by another maco19:27
macoiWolf: just searching for "no sound" will get you 50-billion suggestions on ways to fix it and maybe one of them might work19:27

razlaHi! Since a week or so, when I turn my volume (alsa) up to 'loud-ish', the whole sound output starts to stutter. I really don't know where to look for errors or how to see what's going on (nothing relevant in dmesg), could anyone point me in the right direction? There is also some noise in the background when playing not so loud music... Using ubuntu-current (desktop) pretty much19:42
Fishscenerazla: For noise in the background - it sounds like a grounding issue.19:44
razlaWow, after hours and hours of research I ask in the channel. And within 1 minute I find out what the problem is (front mic boost not muted). How stupid. Thanks anyway!19:44

christofty19:57
ikoniakrysis: I'll ask again - how do you know you're using an "intel" driver (the one that's causing you a problem) the intel drivers ARE open source so they are already intergrated into ubuntu, and they won't show up in the restricted drivers tool because they are open source - not restricted19:57
krysiswell I assume im not using them because the graphics aren't being generated correctly ikonia, and in past Ubuntu version i had to take my card out of Blacklist to use compiz19:57

hobokieHi - I download Ubuntu from here - (http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download) - When I finished installing I had over 200 updates to download and install - I would like know if there is a site I can go to that has the most current version ? ? ?19:58
rotmorhi, what does this sed command exactly do: http://pastebin.com/m12c26eae ?19:58
amiritethanks llutz19:58
ikoniahobokie: that is the most current version19:58
krysisikonia: Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller   but if all intel graphics arent right then why does Sabayan linux work flawlessly with my card?19:59
ikoniakrysis: maybe because you're not using the intel driver included in xorg, you're using one of the 3 that will work19:59
hobokieikonia: So it's just install and do updates ?19:59

Danbo19Hello, I am trying to sync my ipod nano using itunes in virtualbox. I have sucsessfully set up windows in virtualbox, my question is: where do I put my music so I can access it in the virtual machine?19:59
krysisso how can i edit xorg in 9.10 as the xorg.conf is gone?19:59
ikoniakrysis: /etc/X11/xorg.conf is gone, but you can put one there to hard code options, it's not there as it's supposed to be dynamic, but it doesn't always get it right20:00
actionparsnipDanbo19: the latest wine and latest itunes work together enough to transfer somgs20:00
Trekikonia, is an op around in #ubuntu-ops at all?20:00
llutzrotmor: deletes all 127.0.0.1 from that file20:00
jamesd_Danbo19, you can setup a share in virtualbox or use samba on ubuntu20:00
ikoniaTrek: sure, one moment20:00
=== Sememmon_ is now known as Sememmon
hobokieikonia: Ok - No biggie have very fast connection anyway - Just like life simple as possible :)20:00
rotmorllutz: thanks20:00
Danbo19really? I was unaware itunes works in wine now20:00
Danbo19that sound easier than virtualbox20:01
rotmordaftykins: thanks too20:01
actionparsnipDanbo: if you wanna use virtualbox to use itunes you should ask in ##windows as itunes isn't supported here20:01
daftykinsrotmor: np :)20:01
hobokieikonia: By the way Thank You20:01
panfist_is it possible to, using apt or dpkg on an offline host, to select some packages for download and make a list of all those packges and dependencies,20:01
Danbo19oh, okay well thanks20:01
panfist_then to download all the packages on taht list and provide them to the offline host?20:01
krysisikonia: ok i see, but i don't know what driver i am using currently, nor do i know how to edit the xorg.conf to switch the driver20:01
ZykoticK9panfist_, look into apt-on-cd20:01
_UsUrPeR_christof: pastebin is a web site where you can copy-paste lots of information for other people to look at. You submit all the stuff I asked you to give me, and give me the link to the site20:01

I'll post it again then the update: My HP laptop has some extra buttons (mute, volume up/down, play/pause, stop, wireless on/off, etc), they can be changed from System->Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts (they have names like "XF86AudioMute"). But I can't change the wireless on/off button (it turns bluetooth on/off instead of wifi). When I click an action in Keyboard Shortcuts then press the wireless button, it doesn't get rec20:34

DaraelI've been trying to mount a webDAV share, which I normally can only get to through a godsawful MS ISA server browser interface.  I can't get it to mount with gvfs (places->connect to server), but I can mount it with davfs2 or fusedav.  Problem is, if I use davfs2 it takes... well, more than half an hour to unmount (I restarted in the end) and if I use fusedav I can't unmount it at all.  Have tried cadaver as well as the graphical clients (davex22:29
