[00:00] <magn3ts> totem sucks. also totem lets you tweak the audio output settings, its possible that you had tweaked them poorly/incorrectly
[00:00] <hal9k2010> hello, need some help with ubu 9.04 ppc on imac G3
[00:00] <g0th> it is very common (actually the only thing used) in math communities
[00:00] <jcurran> Requested 'libdrm >= 2.4.16' but version of libdrm is 2.4.14
[00:00] <magn3ts> I must be loosing my mind. I went upstairs to grab my ubuntu disc and do a line of coke and when I came back X was working fine.

[00:00] <wgilthorpe> any ideas
[00:00] <g0th> Gryllida: you have to learn the latex syntax (it is not hard), write the file (yourfile.tex) and then use eg. "pdflatex yourfile.tex" to create a .pdf file
[00:01] <_raven_> hello - EXTERNAL MONTIOR: i need to change the frequency from 60 to 50 hz - how/where in which file? tnx
[00:01] <Flipz> Does limewire work on linux?
[00:01] <theking> مرحبا
[00:01] <magn3ts> Is there an app that will let me do Latex ... more graphically?
[00:01] <amartinenco> halitech, http://paste.ubuntu.com/380029/
[00:01] <g0th> Gryllida: to edit the file you can use any text editor you like, there are also graphical frontends for latex iirc (I don't use them)
[00:01] <chrisboom> how do i save the contents of the terminal
[00:01] <Halitech> amartinenco, looks fine to me, dumb question but does that system have a net connection right now?
[00:01] <ubuntu__> Hi, I need a program that will inspect my hard drive or possibly fix it even. i am getting a notification that one or more of my hard disks has bad sectors.
[00:01] <amartinenco> yes
[00:02] <hugh__> @Flipz, there is a .deb package for limewire available
[00:02] <chrisboom> i want to copy down everything that ive typed on it over the last hour
[00:02] <Flipz> whats a .deb package?
[00:02] <g0th> Gryllida: it is the best choice imo, but if you just need to get something done, I guess you might want to look for something else. But I can tell you that once you know latex a bit it is very nice and fast to use and produces the best results.
[00:02] <ers> I'm running 9.10, it says I don't have the nvidia module anymore, how do I reinstall it?
[00:02] <Halitech> amartinenco, are you using the update manager or the terminal?
[00:02] <ubuntu_> hello can anyone help me
[00:02] <magn3ts> amartinenco: do you intentionally not want karmic backports?
[00:02] <Trek> Flipz: its an installer for Debian-based Linux (includes Ubuntu)
[00:02] <Trek> !ask | ubuntu_
[00:02] <theking> bonsoir tous
[00:03] <ubuntu_> okay
[00:03] <MTecknology> ubuntu__: the only decent tool I ever found was SpinRite, but it's not free
[00:03] <amartinenco> i dont know what that means sorry i have only 2 days of experience in ubuntu
[00:03] <Gryllida> ers, g0th, thanks! I think I will be exporting to .odt in LyX. But is there any other word processor except for openoffice which could open .odt and save .doc files?
[00:03] <chrisboom> anyone?
[00:04] <Halitech> amartinenco, where are you getting the error? in a black window or someplace else?
[00:04] <Curious4> Hey, im thinking on putting ubuntu 9.10 on a windows 2000 machine since the owner doesnt have the newer versions, does the installation cd sets up the dual booting as well or do i need to do it manually?
[00:04] <amartinenco> ubuntu updater or when i run "apt-get update"
[00:04] <chai_> having serious sound issues here. no soundcards recognized by aplay and /dev/asound/cards. lspci can see the soundcard, i have the module installed, but still nothing. sound preferences says "dummy audio"
[00:04] <hassanakevazir> chrisboom, just your commands or the outputs too?
[00:04] <amartinenco> halitech, update manager or apt-get update
[00:04] <anomoly> cruious4: the cd will give you the option of, and walk you through, setting up a dual boot
[00:04] <Halitech> amartinenco, ok, run sudo apt-get update and post the output in pastebin
[00:04] <g0th> hi, how do I set up a connection with a manual ip address? I have a dhcp server but I would like to always have the same ip address eg. because I need to redirect traffic accordingly. I used the network manager and added a new wired connection but there is no option for dhcp with manual ip address. in any case I used the manual option and specified the ip address, netmask and gw, for the dns server I specified the same as the gw, but if I do
[00:05] <Gryllida> chrisboom, try find it here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[00:05] <chai_> g0th, http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=ubuntu+static+ip ;)
[00:05] <Curious4> I never installed mine with dual booting because I wanted it to be an ubuntu machine only, but this is for a fam member that doesnt know much about computers
[00:05] <magn3ts> hugh__: why recommend limewire. frostwire is far superior
[00:05] <hassanakevazir> chrisboom, your commands are saved in ~/.bash_history
[00:05] <ubuntu_> I installed a GDM theme on my ubuntu 9.10 and it removed the one I had preinstalled, now the gui wont load, im stuck in the command line mode
[00:06] <hugh__> @magn3ts, because he asked about limewire, do keep up
[00:06] <marcosbond> #Salvador
[00:06] <anomoly> curious4: the installer will make it easy to set up the dual boot.
[00:06] <sickly> ubuntu , did u hit alt F7
[00:06] <ubuntu_> no
[00:06] <amartinenco> Halitech, http://paste.ubuntu.com/380032/
[00:07] <MTecknology> I need to burn a 4.4GB iso to a 4.7GB DVD but it's only showing 4.4GB available on the DVD. So now it doesn't have enough space. Anyone have any ideas how to make it burn the file? compress or something..
[00:07] <sickly> alt F7 should get u out of it
[00:07] <chai_> sickly, you mean ctrl alt f7?
[00:07] <ubuntu_> um
[00:07] <Halitech> Curious4, just make sure you do a manual install and select the correct partition
[00:07] <sickly> yes sry
[00:07] <ubuntu_> I cant login through the gui
[00:07] <hawkal> Is it possible to restore a deleted file  on ubuntu/ linux?

[00:08] <g0th> chai_: this does not work anymore
[00:08] <sickly> actually im not sure if its cntrl alt F& or alt F7
[00:08] <g0th> chai_: it has worked for me since over 10 years but since a recent update it fails
[00:08] <sickly> F&*
[00:08] <sickly> F7*
[00:08] <g0th> chai_: I don't have the slightest clue why
[00:08] <magn3ts> hugh__: so? thats like someone asking about installing IE in ubuntu and not telling them about ubuntu
[00:08] <blackstar> c
[00:08] <g0th> I mean "/etc/network/interfaces"
[00:09] <chai_> g0th, which ubuntu?
[00:09] <hugh__> @magn3ts, he asked about limewire, he was answered, should you have wished to mention another program, you can do so, now quit whining
[00:09] <g0th> karmic
[00:09] <Halitech> amartinenco, I don't think the issues is with the connectoin, I think the index files you are downloading are farked
[00:10] <blackstar> i need hep setting a Gobi 3G connection for my Toshiba laptop M505-s4072
[00:10] <amartinenco> Halitech, so what do i do ? should i just wait or is it something i did with the system? Did modify anything though.
[00:10] <amartinenco> did not *
[00:10] <chai_> g0th, some users complained that in some karmic updates, NetworkManager is installed and screws up manual ip
[00:10] <chrisboom> hassanakevazir: the outputs too
[00:10] <chrisboom> i still have terminal open
[00:11] <ubuntu_> this is what happened, I installed the theme then I restarted as I wanted to see the newly installed login theme, anyways instead of getting into the login screen a grey and black type gui error message popped up saying that my x display is not working correctly and it gave me a bunch of options, i went through them all but nothing fixed the problem!
[00:11] <Halitech> amartinenco, you could try a different server
[00:11] <Testtube> opps
[00:11] <chai_> g0th, try sudo apt-get remove network-manager network-manager-gnome
[00:11] <chrisboom> but it wont let me scroll all the way up
[00:11] <chai_> g0th, if you don't use NetworkManager
[00:11] <amartinenco> Halitech, how? or where do i choose?
[00:11] <g0th> hmm I use it for wireless
[00:11] <Testtube> everytime i try to get a network list on this network i get a excess flood
[00:11] <g0th> that might work though
[00:11] <Testtube> is that normal
[00:11] <subspider> hi a install restric drivers for my ati grafic card and now i have a logo with these AMD Unsoported hardware
[00:11] <subspider> what can i do
[00:11] <subspider> ??
[00:11] <Testtube> network list* channel list
[00:12] <Halitech> amartinenco, System - Admin - Synaptic Package manager
[00:12] <chai_> g0th, look at the comments here, same issue http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=1291
[00:12] <g0th> iirc the network manager doesnt do anything if there is an entry in /etc/network/interfaces
[00:12] <g0th> ok thanks for the help
[00:12] <g0th> I will check it out
[00:12] <Halitech> amartinenco, then I think its Edit - Repos
[00:12] <blackstar> Anyone Know how to setup a 3G network connection with a built in card?
[00:13] <Halitech> subspider, what video card do you have and what version of Ubuntu?
[00:13] <g0th> netmask 255.255.252.0
[00:13] <subspider> ATI mobility radeon hd 5730
[00:13] <g0th> why 252?
[00:13] <_raven_> hello - EXTERNAL MONTIOR: i need to change the frequency from 60 to 50 hz - how/where in which file? tnx
[00:13] <subspider> ubuntu karmic
[00:14] <Halitech> subspider, from the ati site or restricted drivers?
[00:14] <csh> Cannot find method for booting files with grub2: http://ubuntu.sabza.org/2008/03/24/installing-debian-from-ubuntu-or-any-other-gnulinux/
[00:14] <chai_> g0th, do ifconfig | grep -i mask
[00:14] <subspider> restric driver
[00:14] <theking> hi all
[00:14] <amartinenco> Halitech, can you please take a look and tell me exactly what to change ?
[00:14] <chai_> g0th, that's your subnet mask
[00:14] <theking> i have a problem with my cam
[00:14] <Aggrav8d> how do i uninstall something from the command line?  i know sudo apt-get install but what about the opposite?
[00:14] <chai_> Aggrav8d, sudo apt-get remove
[00:14] <theking> i use ubunto 9.10
[00:14] <blackstar> Anyone Know how to setup a 3G network connection with a built in card?
[00:15] <scivi> sudo apt-get remove
[00:15] <chai_> Aggrav8d, and sudo apt-get remove --purge if you want to remove all configuration files too
[00:15] <csh> Aggrav8d:  sudo apt-get remove
[00:15] <Halitech> amartinenco, I gave you the steps, the should be an option about main server, try that
[00:15] <g0th> chai_: ok, I just don't understand why they have 252 in the example line on the page you specified
[00:15] <zleap> apt-get remove
[00:15] <zleap> i think
[00:15] <chrisboom> sorry, so how do i save the output and input of the terminal
[00:15] <theking> any one use skybe beta for linux hier???
[00:15] <chrisboom> i want a record of what ive typed in the last hour
[00:16] <chai_> g0th, because their subnet mask is 255.255.252.0, if you do ifconfig, you can see your connection settings, and use those to manually specify
[00:16] <Halitech> chrisboom, copy and paste it into gedit
[00:16] <zleap> chrisboom, type history
[00:16] <zleap> that will give you what you have entered at the console for your user
[00:16] <magn3ts> chrisboom, should've asked an hour ago
[00:17] <chrisboom> ok, so is there no way to ask it to copy everything thats happened in the terminal since the current window was opened?
[00:17] <speps> hey guys is there a way to load a flash without browser?I mean a wrapper for libflashplayer.so.Thanks
[00:18] <g0th> chai_: what exactly is the subnet mask?
[00:18] <Aggrav8d> csh - thanks.
[00:18] <madjoe1> hi! how can I uninstall Imagemagick?
[00:18] <blackstar> Anyone Know how to setup a 3G network connection with a built in card?
[00:19] <chai_> g0th, i can't explain it as well as wikipedia... :P
[00:19] <madjoe1> I've followed these steps to install it: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/install-source.php#unix
[00:19] <Semitones> is it safe to run pyNeighborhood with sudo?
[00:20] <Semitones> er, gksu
[00:20] <madjoe1> anyone?
[00:20] <chai_> g0th, basically, its a way for the router to divide many ip addresses for multiple system
[00:21] <theking> ممكن مساعدة لو فيه من يتكلم عربي؟؟؟
[00:21] <IdleOne> Semitones: probably not
[00:21] <magn3ts> chrisboom, gnome-terminal has a max scrollback (I usually increase it)
[00:21] <IdleOne> !arabic
[00:21] <magn3ts> chrisboom, not sure why you assume that an app would just automatically record everything you type into it
[00:21] <magn3ts> chrisboom, also someone has already mentioned bash history to you
[00:21] <amartinenco> Halitech, picking the best server right now, ill tell you what happens.
[00:22] <g0th> thx
[00:22] <xjiro1> how come gnome-screensaver doesn't properly lock ?
[00:22] <xjiro1> well, lock at all
[00:22] <magn3ts> xjiro1, all the time or just every once in a while?
[00:22] <magn3ts> xjiro1, its an option...
[00:22] <xjiro1> i have a password, it's definitely checked
[00:22] <xjiro1> gnome-screensaver-command --lock
[00:22] <xjiro1> does not result in requiring a password
[00:22] <blackstar> Anyone Know how to setup a 3G network connection with a built in card qualcom conection
[00:23] <xjiro1> it is supposed to, correct ?
[00:23] <chrisboom> i would assume that a windows, whilst open, especially a text based one, and one that was so important would have had a "save" function to save everything that had happened since it was opened
[00:23] <IdleOne> xjiro1: the password is to unlock the screensaver
[00:23] <magn3ts> xjiro1, did you select the option in the gnome-screensaver-preferences?
[00:23] <amartinenco> unbelievable, does not work
[00:23] <xjiro1> right, it does not ask for a password, it goes straight to the unlocked desktop
[00:23] <xjiro1> yes
[00:23] <xjiro1> restarted gnome-screensaver too
[00:23] <IdleOne> xjiro1: ahh well then yes it is supposed to ask for password
[00:24] <xjiro1> i can't get the desired behavior even once
[00:24] <magn3ts> xjiro1, :[
[00:24] <IdleOne> xjiro1: report a bug
[00:24] <wgilthorpe> how do i report a bug
[00:24] <xjiro1> i was asking because it seems to be reported in many places, they're all just ignored
[00:24] <xjiro1> i figured there was some obvious reason
[00:24] <IdleOne> !bug | wgilthorpe
[00:24] <blackstar> Anyone Know how to setup a 3G network connection with a built in card qualcom conection Karmic

[00:27] <wgilthorpe> i think it may be the root of my prob, but not sure
[00:27] <ubuntu_> is there anyway to reinstall the ubuntu login theme package through command line?
[00:27] <chai_> ubuntu_, reinstall ubuntu-desktop package
[00:28] <ubuntu_> chai shouldnt I put an sudo apt-get in there?
[00:29] <chai_> ubuntu_, that wasn't a command lol... i mean "you should reinstall the package called ubuntu-desktop"
[00:29] <ubuntu_> or rather "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" ?
[00:29] <ubuntu_> is that the correct command that i just typed?
[00:30] <chai_> ubuntu_, if you dont care about removing preferences, you could do "sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-desktop" then "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[00:30] <magn3ts> its a miracle you found a way to change the login theme :rollseyes:
[00:30] <blackstar> anyone know how to make qualcom 3G connection?
[00:31] <IdleOne> !wifi | blackstar
[00:31] <ubuntu_> okay thanks chai

[00:33] <chai_> i'm dying... my... my audio... no soundcards found... nothing...
[00:33] <Halitech> chai_, does it show up in lspci?
[00:34] <chai_> Halitech, yea, here is the full info i posted on ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8849057#post8849057
[00:34] <obiwan_> hey guys, grub won't read my /etc/grub.d/ scripts
[00:35] <obiwan_> i know because i put some echoes in them and they don't show when i update-grub
[00:35] <obiwan_> however, grub finds all the kernels and makes a grub.cfg
[00:35] <Halitech> chai_, can you change the output from dummy output?
[00:35] <obiwan_> but i want it to read the files
[00:36] <chai_> Halitech, dummy output is the only option in sound preferences
[00:36] <Halitech> chai_, then no idea, I've never liked dealing with sound
[00:36] <kad__> hey! how i can check my DNS cache ?
[00:37] <chai_> Halitech, hah... well thanks anyways. sound is definitely a bitch in karmic
[00:37] <Halitech> chai_, when it doesn't work it sure is
[00:38] <ubyserver> Beautiful
[00:38] <ubyserver> How do I kill any X that is running? Because I just tried startx and I get errno3: Server is already active for display 0
[00:38] <TheDodo> If you're having sound troubles in Karmic, I'd take a stab at Linux Mint. I'm not sure what changes were made, but Pulseaudio's worked like a charm, whereas the sound used to cut out at times on my Karmic install. (on two separate machines)
[00:39] <ubyserver> It's alright
[00:39] <ubyserver> I found it. ALT+CTRL+F7
[00:39] <anom01y> anyone else here have a problem with their ubuntu freezing over night (every night) ??
[00:39] <chai_> TheDodo, yea i've been thinking about a fresh install... just so much to back up
[00:40] <anom01y> I checked  /var/log/messages can't see anything in particular there causing it
[00:40] <Halitech> chai_, no seperate /home ?
[00:40] <anom01y> maybe I will just log out every night
[00:40] <anom01y> I thought Linux was supposed to be more stable than windows
[00:40] <ubyserver> anom01y: It is.
[00:40] <TheDodo> I do regular backups myself, so I generally don't have too much to deal with if I need to make a copy of all my files.
[00:40] <anom01y> but my computer has frozen on me so many times
[00:40] <chai_> Halitech, nope, all on one 80gb harddrive...
[00:40] <ubyserver> anom01y: You just have to learn how to use it properly.
[00:40] <hiexpo> anom01y, do you have your power settings right is it hybernating
[00:40] <Halitech> chai_, check here http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[00:41] <m3F> hi!
[00:41] <TheDodo> anom01y: That depends entirely on the task it's being used for. Sometimes it is, othertimes it's a crapshoot.
[00:41] <chai_> Halitech, thanks! will definitely try that on the next install
[00:42] <sixofour9876> #kubuntu is deaD, DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO SET UP KPACKAGEKIT?
[00:42] <sixofour9876> sorry caps
[00:42] <ubyserver> anom01y: Linux just takes getting used to. As everything else.
[00:42] <chai_> Halitech, plus can finally jump to ext4
[00:42] <Halitech> chai_, thats how to make one if you don't have a seperate home already and want to
[00:42] <ubyserver> I remember when I first dove into learning Linux it was a headache.
[00:42] <m3F> I use Ubuntu Jaunty, and i have problems with my iPod since a few days ago. I am wondering if the problem came from installing kubuntu-restricted-extras in gnome. Could it be the problem?
[00:42] <ubyserver> I'm actually going from Windows 7 on this laptop to straight Linux in a couple days.
[00:43] <chai_> Halitech, yea, but the whole harddrive is partitioned right now
[00:43] <Halitech> chai_, gives you all the steps on resizing and making a new partition
[00:43] <odla> sixofour9876, what do you mean 'set up'?
[00:43] <TheDodo> I actually think Win7 runs reasonably well, but the UI makes it a pain for day to day use, hence my switching my notebook to Linux.
[00:43] <Sa[i]nT> How do you zipped files into split files on ubuntu?
[00:43] <sixofour9876> its not finding any applications
[00:43] <sixofour9876> so i am assuming it doesn't know where to look
[00:44] <sixofour9876> AND APT-GET CAN'T UPDATE, IT FREEZES
[00:44] <anom01y> definately there is nothing more frustrating than having a computer you can't rely on to stay on over night
[00:44] <sixofour9876> sorry caps
[00:44] <odla> sixofour9876, kpackagekit is quirky ... i recommend using apt-get from the command line or installing synaptic
[00:44] <sixofour9876> on a laptop, i keep hitting caps button
[00:44] <hiexpo> ubyserver, ya i remember when i first started using linux many years ago when everything was shell and it was so tough getting use to so i gave up on it and just stasrted using it again awhile back people don't realize the progress of unix it has come a long ways
[00:44] <ng0n> Win 7 is certainly an improvement over Vista.. uggg.
[00:44] <anom01y> is there any way I can just turn off the power saving stuff. I do not have a laptop
[00:44] <ubyserver> TheDodo Oh it definitely does, especially on a not so fast laptop. But I am tired of Windows and want to customize the heck out of Ubuntu
[00:44] <sixofour9876> apt-get can't update
[00:44] <sixofour9876> it freezes on 30%
[00:44] <odla> sixofour9876, sudo apt-get update?
[00:45] <sixofour9876> tu.com oir something
[00:45] <odla> sixofour9876, reboot or find the process in top and kill it

[00:45] <odla> Gryllida, you mean latex files?
[00:45] <sixofour9876> why do i need to reboot?
[00:45] <anom01y> sixofour9876, try

[00:45] <anom01y> and do update there
[00:45] <jiggle> go ubuntu
[00:45] <Halitech> sixofour9876, can you use pastebin and post your sources.list file
[00:45] <Gryllida> odla, my scanned file is PDF
[00:45] <sixofour9876> one at a time please lol
[00:46] <sixofour9876> i just got kubuntu 30 mins ago
[00:46] <ubyserver> But when you get through it after fixing over 20 errors and learning startx, etc. you are too happy.
[00:46] <JoeSomebody> hello, i want to get my mom on ubuntu, but i would need to make ati remote wonder work on it, and nvidia tv out (pulled the ati video), sound do-able? software-wise i have it all ok
[00:46] <anom01y> sixofour9876, try Xubuntu
[00:46] <odla> Gryllida, you want to insert that into lyx the latex editor and compile it into a pdf?
[00:46] <ubyserver> True level of accomplishment.
[00:46] <hiexpo> ubyserver, yes it was a pain i remember
[00:46] <anom01y> its better for performance
[00:46] <sixofour9876> nah, i know kubuntu most
[00:46] <sixofour9876> i used it for a few years
[00:46] <anom01y> better by a mile
[00:46] <sixofour9876> but i forgot alot of stuff
[00:46] <odla> sixofour9876, i would install synaptic and use that instead
[00:46] <Gryllida> odla, my document should be anything that can be exported to odt , and should have images inside...
[00:46] <sixofour9876> how?
[00:46] <anom01y> I can't figure out why my computer keeps freezing every night
[00:47] <Talon_> sometimes my flash videos dissapear in firefox, just poof gone. No flash applets work until i restart firefox when this happens, any clue what might cause this?
[00:47] <Halitech> !who | sixofour9876
[00:47] <Sa[i]nT> How do you zip files into split files on ubuntu?
[00:47] <anom01y> I can't leave it alone for more than 8 hours
[00:47] <sixofour9876> odla:  how?
[00:47] <odla> Gryllida, oh but lyx is for latex ... why not use openoffice.org?
[00:47] <Halitech> anom01y, have you checked the ram? the power supply?
[00:48] <hiexpo> anom01y, it is probally freezing / getting stuck in hibernate and you don't know the key to take it out of hybernation is all lookk in your power manangement and disable it
[00:48] <Gryllida> odla, openoffice has uncomfortable math formula editor,  lyx's one is much better... is it so good in any other app?
[00:48] <TheDodo> odla: Because it's a lumbering behemoth of an app suite that's barely better than what it tries to replace.
[00:48] <odla> Gryllida, well into lyx you should be able to insert a graphic with \insertgraphics{}
[00:49] <odla> i've not use lyx but i know it's for latex
[00:49] <fabio123> lyx is latex
[00:49] <fabio123> you should use latex directly
[00:49] <odla> lyx is a WYSIWYG not like editing latex with emacs or something
[00:49] <klappi> wysiwym
[00:50]  * odla agrees w/ fabio123 
[00:50] <ng0n> x86_64 wubi moves right along.
[00:50] <odla> oh sorry
[00:50] <sixofour9876> what is the command to search apt-get?
[00:51] <fabio123> apt-get search the hell
[00:51] <odla> apt-cache search foo
[00:51] <sixofour9876> incalid operation
[00:51] <sixofour9876> invalid
[00:51] <sixofour9876> oh cache
[00:51] <fabio123> apt-cache search...
[00:51] <ng0n> anyone know of a stock market 'widget' for the screen ?
[00:51] <fabio123> i know how to tweak google chrome
[00:52] <Gryllida> odla, the image will not be /INSIDE/ of the file... but just in the same directory. it's uncomfortable to keep track of the images in this case..
[00:52] <ng0n> rr
[00:52] <ng0n> that's a thought.
[00:52] <odla> Gryllida, well don't know then ... you can always send a pdf or dvi compiled from latex ... i don't really know lyx
[00:52] <Testtube> hey guys regarding psybnc and vhosts is there a file on the linux machine that has to exist in order for you to take advantage of the vhosts you have?
[00:53] <Testtube> Ive googled it and cant find it. I seem to remember there being a file that you have to edit in order for vhosts to work properly
[00:54] <jacquesdupontd> hi guiys
[00:55] <Testtube> its not /etc/hosts ?
[00:55] <sixofour9876> synaptidc search repachakgekitfers me to k
[00:55] <jacquesdupontd> i would like to know if there's a web page that says all type of ubuntu existing, i mean xubuntu kubuntu
[00:55] <jacquesdupontd> lubuntu
[00:55] <jacquesdupontd> etc
[00:55] <sixofour9876> ugh
[00:55] <jacquesdupontd> where can i find a list ot all ubuntus ?
[00:55] <odla> Gryllida, you could also use google documents as you can use latex to write math equations and can embed pictures .. but that's not a really good solution i would imagine either
[00:55] <Gryllida> odla, it's really uncomfortable to make a lyx or latex document with images, since the images are not inside, lie in the file's directory, and can't keep track of them. I am afraid lyx or latex couldn't be the starting point for a document which needs scanned images. that's why really not knowing LyX is of no problem... ;) does abiword or KWord or anything else you know have a comfortable...
[00:55] <Gryllida> ...math formula editor?
[00:55] <Sinani201_> Can I download the forest theme here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Forest ?

[00:56] <Datz> hi, I'm trying to run ubuntu headless, but the grub screen just stays up and doesn't proceed. Can someone help me to add a countdown?
[00:56] <odla> Gryllida, i don't really know ... i do agree that the oo.org3 math editor blows but i don't know of a good alternative outside of latex ...
[00:57] <fabio123> Sinani201_: several atttachment there
[00:57] <Gryllida> Sinani201_>	It is in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/INCOMING , just a candidate for theme, not finished yes...now it's just a bunch of images ... but I am not sure
[00:57] <Sinani201_> fabio123: Yes, but they are just images.
[00:57] <Sinani201_> Grylida: OK. Thanks.
[00:57] <x_> can i download google earth on ubuntu 9.10
[00:57] <Sinani201_> Bye

[00:58] <PlainFlavored> how do i copy text out of nano?
[00:58] <Sinani201_> fabio: Normally theme files are in a tar-gz
[00:58] <sixofour9876> when i did apt-cache search for synapticd, it refered me to kpackagekit
[00:58] <jiohdi> x, as long as you have enough memory it works fine
[00:58] <fabio123> Sinani201_: that is not a gtk theme
[00:58] <Gryllida> Sinani201_, "INCOMING All artwork submissions from the community are organised here. " --- they're not finished, just candidates
[00:58] <sixofour9876> which is kde package manager
[00:58] <fabio123> as for the icons i can say that is Meliae
[00:58] <Sinani201_> OK OK I get it, it's not available yet.
[00:58] <Sinani201_> Thanks
[00:59] <Testtube> ah it is /etc/hosts file

[01:04] <ubyserver> Not only that but I learned so much along the way.
[01:04] <ubyserver> Plesk is like Webmin.

[01:16] <jbangert> Hello, is there a way to edit a variable of a running shell process, because I have a script running on a 30-machine cluster for 1 week now and I want to change a shell variable (number of simultaneous processes) without interupting the shell
[01:16] <Gryllida> !ask | zeroseven0183
[01:16] <jbangert> Shell should be bash, and it should be vital that the shell DOES NOT CRASH!!!
[01:16] <Xuen> bertman: Alternate installer disk? Where is that found?
[01:17] <o_> study use linux!
[01:17] <bertman> What version are trying to install?
[01:17] <o_> so perfect!!!!
[01:17] <zeroseven0183> Is there way to hide Nickserv and "frigg" when I automatically join Ubuntu channels here in Pidgin?
[01:17] <Xuen> bertman: 9.10
[01:17] <bertman> hangon
[01:17] <onexused> Xuen: from Ubuntu.com, click download ubuntu, then click text-based installer under Other download options.

[01:18] <o_> no game linux can be the best
[01:18] <onexused> Which takes you to the page bertman just linked : P
[01:18] <o_> but now have game
[01:18] <saihtam> jbangert: what kind of application is running?
[01:18] <bertman> If you have problematic hardware, then you should try the alternate install CD.  make your way through, and it will probably work
[01:18] <saihtam> jbangert: was an intresting question
[01:18] <Gryllida> it's uncomfortable to make a lyx or latex document with images, since they are not inside, lie in the file's directory, and I can't keep track of them.
[01:18] <Gryllida> lyx or latex couldn't be the starting point for a document which needs scanned images.
[01:18] <jbangert> saihtam: Extreme-scale anagram generation xD: based on MPI
[01:18] <Gryllida> does abiword or KWord or anything else you know have a comfortable math formula editor?
[01:19] <saihtam> jbangert: no idea what that is, but I think you have to kill it and change the variable
[01:19] <bertman> Gryllida, there are several....for KDE
[01:19] <jbangert> Gryllida: Tried LyX, it is a beginner-friendly LaTeX editor
[01:20] <jbangert> saihtam: well the shell runs around a hundred jobs in sequence
[01:20] <saihtam> jbangert: 24/7?
[01:20] <bluenemo> hi ubuntu irc. I'm switching from debian to ubuntu and having problems with the sound of torcs3d Racing on both my thinkpadT60p and my tower. I can hear all the time but its noise. sorry really searched google
[01:20] <jbangert> ( I have no idea how far it has proceeded so far)
[01:20] <jbangert> saihtam: Yes
[01:21] <jbangert> And each of these jobs takes between a few minutes and ten hours to complete
[01:21] <Xuen> bertman:ok, i'm downloading ubunt 9.10 alternate iso
[01:21] <jbangert> saihtam: Its been up since last friday morning, no other jobs running
[01:22] <saihtam> jbangert: but if you change the variable now and wait for it to start again?
[01:22] <jbangert> saihtam: It doesn't start again... the shell has been running for 1 week
[01:23] <Testtube> :/
[01:23] <jbangert> only my own program restarts
[01:23] <saihtam> jbangert: yes but change the startup script for the application
[01:23] <Gryllida> jbangert: me tried LyX too, but I need lots of scanned images in my document.
[01:23] <Gryllida> they can not be inside of the file (unfortunately). they can only be in its directory (difficult to keep track of them).
[01:23] <Gryllida>  that's why I can (and do) use LyX for some documents,
[01:23] <Gryllida> but as some need lots of scanned images inside,
[01:23] <Gryllida> I  am searching for another word / document processor.
[01:23] <Gryllida> Maybe you know one?
[01:23] <FloodBot1> Gryllida: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:26] <VSpike> I downloaded an ubuntu CD image, but all I can find is a blank DVD. Can I use the image I have at all to make a bootable DVD?
[01:26] <jbangert> Gryllida: you can convert scanned docs to EPS and embed them. Or, as I do, keep a folder <filename>_res for every <filename>.lyx which contains graphics, eps, macros, tex ,etc...
[01:27] <xangua> VSpike: yes
[01:27] <o_> China use too much time  to make tree's food
[01:27] <jbangert> Gryllida: Then use SVN to keep track of all changes !
[01:27] <onexused> VSpike: yes
[01:27] <Gryllida> FloodBot1, http://paste.ubuntu.com/380059/
[01:27] <VSpike> onexused / xangua : how? :)
[01:27] <xangua> VSpike: just write as an image in the dvd
[01:27] <o_> really better than hunman's
[01:27] <o_> so well
[01:27] <onexused> VSpike: Put in the DVD instead of the CD when you write the ISO?  The format's the same, you'll just be wasting the rest of the space on the DVD.
[01:28] <VSpike> Oh great, I was hoping it was that simple
[01:28] <VSpike> xangua / onexused : thanks
[01:28] <Gryllida> I like odt since it keeps images inside. I would like a similar format. what app supports it and has a comfortable math editor?
[01:28] <LinuxHelpNeeded> I installed some programs "sudo apt-get install nmh" "apt-get install root-system-bin" "sudo apt-get install torque-client" what do they do?

[01:33] <josh__> Question. I am running ubuntu netbook remix and need to network with and have remote access to my other laptop in the house running xp. *both on same wireless network where to start?
[01:34] <calebjohnson> josh_: start with pinging the other machine to see if you have connectivity
[01:34] <calebjohnson> josh__: after that, download tightVNC on the windows xp machine and configure the server to allow incoming connections, then use the built in remote desktop application in ubuntu to connect to it
[01:35] <calebjohnson> josh__: you'll need the Ip address for this
[01:35] <anto9us> josh__: sudo apt-get install ssh, then you can browse that machine from nautilus.. ssh://<user@ip_address>
[01:36] <FelixDeSouza> anyone about who can help me setting up foxyproxy? whenever i try to bind a port with ssh i get "bind: address already in use"
[01:36] <VSpike> calebjohnson: If it's XP pro you can enable windows remote desktop and use a remote desktop client instead of VNC. It's a more efficient protocol.
[01:36] <FelixDeSouza> doesnt matter what port i use
[01:36] <bastid_raZor> anto9us: josh__ openssh-server is the package you want.
[01:36] <VSpike> calebjohnson: sorry, wrong person
[01:36] <VSpike> josh__: : If it's XP pro you can enable windows remote desktop and use a remote desktop client instead of VNC. It's a more efficient protocol.
[01:36] <o_> K P N S Ca Fe O VITAMIN and so much other in chinese flower's food!
[01:36] <FelixDeSouza> im running in a VM, with a bridged connection
[01:36] <o_> so much!!
[01:36] <calebjohnson> VSpike: just figured that ubuntu wouldn't use the right protocol to communicate with xp
[01:36] <o_> N is WHAT ?
[01:36] <josh__> bastid:ok
[01:36] <o_> SO POWER!
[01:36] <anto9us> Ignore, me, wasn't paying proper attention :)
[01:36] <o_> LIKE LIFE!
[01:36] <Gryllida> anto9us, I tried to find it at openoffice official site, and saw that comment: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/Dmaths#comment-2209 I don't think I am very likely to try it... sorry :)
[01:37] <josh__> let me try that youve all been alot of help
[01:37] <VSpike> josh__: if file sharing is enabled on the xp machine, you can use nautilus to connect to it with SMB
[01:37] <calebjohnson> question:  how do I start multiple instances of X so I can have different DE's on my virtual screens? i use to do it and i completely forget the command... is it somewhere along the lines of startx :x ??
[01:38] <calebjohnson> josh__: yeah, syntax is smb://ip.address

[01:41] <`mOOse`> iono bastid - bastid spell much? ;-)
[01:41] <histo> calebjohnson: ahh
[01:41] <calebjohnson> onexused: no worries
[01:42] <m3F> is Ubuntu-Tweak being though for a new Ubuntu release?
[01:42] <histo> m3F: what?
[01:42] <o_> 中文的字母和英文一样多
[01:42] <onexused> Could someone kick o_ ?
[01:42] <CkhiKuzad> !english o_
[01:42] <CkhiKuzad> meh
[01:42] <m3F> I use Ubuntu Jaunty, and i have problems with my iPod since a few days ago. I am wondering if the problem came from installing kubuntu-restricted-extras in gnome. Could it be the problem?
[01:42] <histo> !ch | o_
[01:42] <IdleOne> !ops | o_  using caps and now chinese for no good reason
[01:43] <onexused> Heck, he wasn't speaking English before.
[01:43] <nitro_> histo, it is the ventilator
[01:43] <histo> m3F: what sort of problems are you having with your ipod?
[01:43] <histo> nitro_: okay maybe this isn't the right place to ask.
[01:43] <CkhiKuzad> ok people of ubuntu, I need your help.  today i used Unetbootin, and it wanted to overwrite something in my /boot/ directory. i let it, and now my ubuntu distro wont boot. is there a way (ASIDE FROM REINSTALLING) to restore this entire /boot/ directory?
[01:44] <nitro_> yep histo i know but i'm desesperated :(
[01:44] <onexused> CkhiKuzad: Not unless you backed it up before, I think.  Do you know what file it wrote?  What happens when Ubuntu won't boot?
[01:44] <histo> CkhiKuzad: does grub load?
[01:44] <VSpike> Damn, that was a waste of a DVD :) I forgot the target machine only has CD drive
[01:44] <IdleOne> CkhiKuzad: I think the !grub2 factoid has info on reinstalling grub
[01:44] <CkhiKuzad> i've 9.04, not 9.10
[01:45] <histo> CkhiKuzad: you just need to install grub again
[01:45] <IdleOne> CkhiKuzad: see !grub
[01:45] <CkhiKuzad> no i dont
[01:45] <histo> !grub > CkhiKuzad
[01:45] <CkhiKuzad> i've done that before.
[01:45] <IdleOne> CkhiKuzad: you did it wrong maybe
[01:45] <CkhiKuzad> it didnt work, lucky for me i've Debian installed on my other hard drive
[01:45] <onexused> VSpike: Heh, too bad on that.
[01:45] <Wingchun1978> hi all
[01:45] <histo> CkhiKuzad: if grub is reinstalled then you can update-grub and regenerate the images in /boot
[01:45] <m3F> hi histo: my problem is that when i try to manage my iPod with any Media Player it fails.
[01:45] <CkhiKuzad> when i restored grub to that hard drive, ubuntu itself wouldnt boot
[01:46] <sroz9960> hahaha grub
[01:46] <histo> m3F: what do you mean by fails? is it detected?
[01:46] <`mOOse`> CkhiKuzad - is this a usb install?
[01:46] <anto9us> VSpike: that's where I'd open up the box and connect DVD drive temporarily
[01:46] <john0145> hello everyone I am trying to access website called radiopaq.com.. it doesnt play station can anyone guide to solve this problem thank you
[01:46] <CkhiKuzad> no, its hard drive
[01:46] <CkhiKuzad> its from a LiveCD to a hard drive, and sroz you are not helping.
[01:46] <histo> CkhiKuzad: well if you can boot with recovery mode or with a cd and chroot to the drive then update-grub will regenerate the images
[01:47] <LSD|Ninja> What's the recommended way of installing additional 32-bit libraries in an amd64 multilib environment?
[01:47] <CkhiKuzad> alright, so 'sudo chroot [drive] && sudo update-grub' ?
[01:47] <m3F> histo: yes, it is detected by the kernel and system, and players too, but when i try to copy music to it it fails. The media player (Banshee or Rhythmbox) hangs up.
[01:47] <histo> CkhiKuzad: basically
[01:47] <CkhiKuzad> alright
[01:47] <histo> CkhiKuzad: want to mount the drive first
[01:47]  * CkhiKuzad tries, but RTFM's
[01:48] <m3F> histo: And it seems to happen since i have installed Kubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:48] <histo> CkhiKuzad: I'm pretty sur eit will have to be mounted to chroot
[01:49] <CkhiKuzad> also, what would be the easiest way to figure out what a certain is in /dev/
[01:49] <CkhiKuzad> certain drive is**
[01:49] <histo> m3F: unless its a codec issue that shouldnt' matter. Try directly copying the files to the device. or using gtkpod
[01:49] <o_> so much country tell lie!!!
[01:49] <histo> CkhiKuzad: sudo fdisk -l
[01:49] <CkhiKuzad> ok
[01:49] <histo> CkhiKuzad: will list all the drives
[01:49] <CkhiKuzad> alright, and their capacities?
[01:49] <o_> they only use little people
[01:50] <histo> CkhiKuzad: then you can sudo mkdir /media/somefolder && sudo mount /dev/blah /media/somefolder
[01:50] <o_> other no give the same!
[01:50] <`mOOse`> CkhiKuzad: df -h
[01:50] <CkhiKuzad> histo i just needed to find the drive
[01:50] <CkhiKuzad> i got it now
[01:50] <crunchbang> hi all
[01:51] <histo> CkhiKuzad: kk sry didn't know what your were asking there for a sec
[01:51] <CkhiKuzad> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ chroot /dev/sda1 && sudo update-grub
[01:51] <CkhiKuzad> chroot: cannot change root directory to /dev/sda1: Not a directory
[01:51] <crunchbang> exit
[01:51] <histo> CkhiKuzad: because you have to mount /dev/sda1
[01:51] <histo> crunchbang: try /exit
[01:51] <CkhiKuzad> i have it mounted.
[01:51] <crunchbang> =) thnx

[01:55] <gyokimae2> Hi, using 9.10. Installed in empty partition of WinXP. Windows partitions are accessiable from "Places", but how can I set it to always mount as read only?
[01:55] <CkhiKuzad> alright
[01:55] <unvs> I'm trying to start daemontools in Koala with "sudo initctl start svscanboot" but all I get is "initctl: Unknown job: svscanboot" even though I did create /etc/event.d/svscanboot .. Any gotchas here?
[01:56] <armando> soy nuevo en ubuntu nunca crei que fuera tan bueno!!!! very very good
[01:56] <CkhiKuzad> !es | armando
[01:56] <histo> CkhiKuzad: hrm.. it didn't generate images?
[01:56] <umang> gyokimae2, have you tried pysdm?
[01:56] <CkhiKuzad> no it didn't. histo
[01:56] <gyokimae2> umang, that is a new term to me. I will go search
[01:56] <histo> CkhiKuzad: let me check something hold up
[01:56]  * CkhiKuzad holds up
[01:56] <onexused> gyokimae2: you should set that in /etc/fstab (edit as root).  For example," /dev/sda3		/media/win		jfs		ro		0 1" would make /dev/sda3 mount to /media/win as read only.
[01:57] <umang> gyokimae2, It's an application. You can install it from synaptic or do $ sudo apt-get install pysdm
[01:57] <histo> CkhiKuzad: look in /media/sda1/boot and see if there are images there.
[01:57] <CkhiKuzad> im in that directory
[01:57] <CkhiKuzad> nothing
[01:57] <CkhiKuzad> just /grub/
[01:57] <histo> CkhiKuzad: sudo update-grub /dev/sda1
[01:57] <Matrix> hi people i need help concerning my webcam
[01:58] <CkhiKuzad> same result, histo
[01:58] <gyokimae2> onexused, fstab contained no line for Win partitions, so I think "places" is mounting on-the-fly
[01:58] <umang> !help | Matrix
[01:58] <histo> CkhiKuzad: let me do some reading and figure out how to re-create the images
[01:59] <histo> CkhiKuzad: then you should be able to boot
[01:59] <armando> ubuntu-es
[01:59] <CkhiKuzad> hopefully it will work
[01:59] <CkhiKuzad> armando '/join #ubuntu-es
[01:59] <umang> armando, /join #ubuntu-es
[01:59] <onexused> gyokimae2: That may be true.  Are you willing to add a line, if you know the windows partition numbers?
[01:59] <Matrix> my laptop acer with acer crystal eyes webcam ,i need a software that will it run or i have it already?
[02:00] <topebwana> #ubuntu-es
[02:00] <gyokimae2> onexused, I think I've done that before. For now, focussing on changing the behavior of "Places"
[02:00] <onexused> gyokimae2: Okay.
[02:00] <unvs> Is anyone running daemontools on Karmic Koala here?
[02:00] <umang> Matrix, See if this helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[02:01] <gyokimae2> onexused, If "Places" is actually an alias to a script stored elsewhere in the system so I can addon "read only", that would be best. Would you know?
[02:01] <cyberjunk502> what's the command to see which port are open in ubuntu
[02:01] <DaemonFC> hmmm, something got fixed...
[02:01] <CkhiKuzad> cyberjunk502, i think it might be netstat
[02:01] <Matrix> ive checked already and they told me to check easycam but it doest exist anymore
[02:02] <CkhiKuzad> but im not absolutely sure.
[02:02] <onexused> gyokimae2: I really have no idea where the config files (if there are any) for gnome/nautilus's automount function is.
[02:02] <histo> cyberjunk502: netstat -ta
[02:02] <[Adam|Linux]> I feel like there is a lag in my typing, is this common to Ubuntu or is it just my hardware?
[02:02] <n16h7f0x> any quake style terminal for gnome?
[02:02] <cyberjunk502> thanks histo
[02:03] <histo> CkhiKuzad: is ubuntu the only OS on the disk?
[02:03] <ardchoille> !info guake | n16h7f0x
[02:03] <CkhiKuzad> on the 160 gig one, yes
[02:03] <n16h7f0x> ardchoille, is it yakuake like?
[02:03] <histo> CkhiKuzad: you're chrooted on to the drive?
[02:04] <umang> Matrix, Does Ekiga work?
[02:04] <CkhiKuzad> but i have more than 15 gigabytes of stuff, thats why i'm avoiding just doing a full reformat and install
[02:04] <onexused> [Adam|Linux]: It might have to do with the amount of RAM you have or the number of programs you're running.  I only have lag in typing when I'm running from a livecd or I'm typing over ssh on a slow connection, or some such.
[02:04] <CkhiKuzad> and yes i am
[02:04] <CkhiKuzad> histo, yes i am chrooted to it
[02:04] <Matrix> i dont have it
[02:04] <onexused> [Adam|Linux]: Otherwise, I wouldn't know.
[02:04] <ardchoille> n16h7f0x: it's similar to the kdeone
[02:04] <seanbrystone> [Adam|Linux], is your cpu reporting 100%?
[02:04] <Matrix> i have cheese
[02:04] <[Adam|Linux]> I have 2 GB of ram and I'm only running xchat and chrome
[02:04] <histo> CkhiKuzad: you can try reinstalling the kernel image or sudo apt-get reinstall grub
[02:04] <CkhiKuzad> how would i reinstall the kernel image?
[02:04] <histo> CkhiKuzad: err grub2 if thats what you are using.
[02:04] <mister_roboto> does anyone know if lucid has sun jdk and i'm just  not seeing it?
[02:04] <umang> Matrix, Does that work?
[02:05] <CkhiKuzad> no im using legacy grub
[02:05] <histo> CkhiKuzad: sudo apt-get reinstall linux-image-whatever you have installed on it.
[02:05] <[Adam|Linux]> CPU hovers around 60%
[02:05] <ardchoille> n16h7f0x: apt-cache show guake  # that will tell you about it
[02:05] <Matrix> yes but its lags
[02:05] <histo> CkhiKuzad: dpkg -l | grep linux-image
[02:05] <hiexpo> mister_roboto, yes it does
[02:05] <CkhiKuzad> linux-image-ubuntu-9.04?
[02:05] <cyberjunk502> tell me if your internet speed is slow does port scanning a remote computer contain errors
[02:05] <histo> CkhiKuzad: nah it will be something like linux-image-2.6.b;lkajsdf
[02:05] <CkhiKuzad> got it
[02:06] <cyberjunk502> i mean does it affect port scan other than speed
[02:06] <histo> CkhiKuzad: reinstall that and then sudo apt-get reinstall grub
[02:06]  * CkhiKuzad pastebins
[02:06] <umang> Matrix, OK. So you're issue is that is lags? If so, ask again here and maybe someone who knows how to fix that will help you.
[02:06] <mister_roboto> hiexpo: aptitude search sun |grep jdk doesn't show anything    where is it?

[02:16] <ardchoille> ned-: the theme prefs are saved in various config files. If you're not using gnome I don't think you'll be able touse the theme prefs window either
[02:16] <histo> Guest30277: lspci | grep VGA
[02:17] <magn3ts> Anyone got any good recommendations on download managers?
[02:17] <centHOGG> yeah windows
[02:17] <centHOGG> :P
[02:17] <ned-> ardchoille, do you have any idea how to change the default font-size for gtk launched apps?
[02:17] <histo> magn3ts: the one build in firefox
[02:17] <onexused> magn3ts: I like wget, which is text-based.
[02:17] <histo> magn3ts: built
[02:18] <ardchoille> ned-: no idea other than the theme prefs gui
[02:18] <ned-> ive tried gtk-chtheme, and it works but its not complete.
[02:18] <magn3ts> histo, what? I would hardly call that a download manager by any means
[02:18] <ned-> hmm alright thanks.
[02:18] <histo> !best | magn3ts
[02:18] <magn3ts> onexused, I'm looking for something more native but like jdownloader that does megashare/rapidshare captchas and autodownloading
[02:18] <ardchoille> ned-: also I think most theme prefs need to have the gnome-settings-daemon running too inorder to take effect
[02:19] <magn3ts> histo, right but I'm looking for suggestions. thats a silly factoid to solicit recommendations. I don't know the name of every single download manager available for ubuntu
[02:19] <supremearyal> ned: lxappearance
[02:19] <CrOnOs__> magn3ts: why dont run those on wine?
[02:19] <bigtom21485> technical question about wine
[02:19] <hal9k2010> anyone with ubuntu ppc exp?
[02:19] <bigtom21485> how do i get a malfunctioning windows program to close?
[02:19] <ardchoille> magn3ts: try gwget
[02:19] <calebjohnson> question: how do i remove an entire package like xfce?
[02:19] <centHOGG> reinstall
[02:19] <magn3ts> CrOnOs__, well jdownloader runs in linux but its Qt
[02:20] <ardchoille> bigtom21485: open a terminal and run xkill # but be carefull with it
[02:20] <onexused> bigtom21485: You could try killing it.  In the terminal, ps -A and find the number in front of the program, then kill <number>.
[02:20] <ned-> ardchoille, well, when i have a low resolution set, launch an app, then change the resolution back to my standard higher res, i get the font-size i want. i just want to send that font-size setting to xchat & pidgin.
[02:20] <ned-> supremearyal, thanks ill take a look.
[02:20] <magn3ts> ardchoille, I can use wget no problem, like I said I'm more interested in the captcha completing and taking in a huge list of links at once and bypassing the wait restriction
[02:20] <magn3ts> I think I'll just stick with jdownloader lol
[02:21] <ardchoille> ned-: xchat has its own font settings, have you tried that?
[02:21] <LinuxHelpNeeded> I tried installing a GDM theme on my ubuntu 9.10, needless to say I dont have a proper login anymore, where can I download another login gui?
[02:21] <supremearyal> LinuxHelpNeeded: gnome-look.org
[02:21] <ardchoille> magn3ts: Ah, ok, no idea then
[02:22] <LinuxHelpNeeded> supremeryal what are they under?
[02:22] <ned-> ardchoille, i have, that just changes the font size for the chat buffer, not the user lists on the right
[02:22] <onexused> I think he means like kdm or xdm, not a theme for gdm.  Or am I wrong?
[02:22] <ardchoille> LinuxHelpNeeded: the theme settings in thenew gdm are not feature complete yet
[02:23] <LinuxHelpNeeded> okay so I cant use GDM themes?
[02:23] <greezmunkey> ardchoille, I ran apt-get install gwget, and recieved this: You must have at least one <locale> entry in a <schema>:: Is this normal?
[02:23] <LinuxHelpNeeded> which ones are supported?
[02:23] <ned-> supremearyal, that was exactly what i was looking for.
[02:23] <ardchoille> ned-: I don't know. I do know that running gnome-settings-daemon sets things up correctly, I did that when I used a window manager
[02:23] <ned-> thank you good sir. youve saved me quite a bit of headache.
[02:23] <ardchoille> greezmunkey: never seen that before. Which ubuntu version?
[02:24] <CkhiKuzad> histo, it didnt work, and my system froze up
[02:24] <queso> What package should I install to get libgl in Jaunty?
[02:24] <greezmunkey> ardchoille, Linux UbuntuServ01 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[02:25] <CkhiKuzad> histo? are you here?
[02:25] <LinuxHelpNeeded> umm... where are the login gui themes at? what are they under in gnome-look?
[02:25] <CkhiKuzad> LinuxHelpNeeded yes its gnome-look, they are GDM themes
[02:25] <ardchoille> greezmunkey: are you running gnome?
[02:25] <greezmunkey> ardchoille, the program runs... I'll try a download from a FTP server I know of...
[02:25] <LinuxHelpNeeded> im running ubuntu 9.10
[02:26] <ardchoille> LinuxHelpNeeded: the gdm theme settings in the new gdm are not feature complete yet, you won't be able to use a full gdm theme
[02:26] <supremearyal> LinuxHelpNeeded, at the left under "GDM Themes"
[02:26] <greezmunkey> ardchoille, I am.
[02:26] <LinuxHelpNeeded> ckhikuzad I used a GDM theme and now I cant get into the login via GUI but only through command line
[02:26] <ardchoille> greezmunkey: never seen that error before
[02:27] <CkhiKuzad> well uninstall that GDM theme. LinuxHelpNeeded
[02:27] <LinuxHelpNeeded> how do I do that?
[02:27] <CkhiKuzad> LHN: system>administration>login window
[02:27] <CkhiKuzad> then the local tab
[02:28] <InsomniaCity> Is using a firewire external drive as easy as a USB external drive?
[02:28] <LinuxHelpNeeded> okay thanks
[02:28] <histo> CkhiKuzad: yeha i'm here
[02:29] <CkhiKuzad> my liveCd lagged extremely, and i had to reboot, histo. and nothing was fixed
[02:29] <greezmunkey> ardchoille, yeah, it could be an install annoyance - I'll check it out further...
[02:30] <LinuxHelpNeeded> the problem might be because i installed this: "sudo apt-get install gdm-2.20"
[02:30] <ardchoille> greezmunkey: did you install from the server cd and then install gnome?
[02:30] <LinuxHelpNeeded> it replaced my old one
[02:30] <LinuxHelpNeeded> on ubuntu 9.10
[02:30] <CkhiKuzad> histo, i think i'm going to install ubuntu on a 50 gig partition, and just copy all the stuff over. i am so close to giving up/
[02:30] <Gryllida> Is there a way to make Ubuntu boot, splash screens non-graphical, so that they show information about what's going on?
[02:31] <ardchoille> LinuxHelpNeeded: the gdm theme settings in the new gdm 2.0 are not feature complete yet, you won't be able to use a full gdm theme
[02:31] <LinuxHelpNeeded> how do i restore the old one?
[02:31] <greezmunkey> ardchoille, no this is the desktop version, I just named it ubuntuserv01 !
[02:32] <jiohdi> gryllida system preferences splash
[02:32] <ardchoille> ah, ok
[02:32] <histo> CkhiKuzad: what happened when you tried it?
[02:32] <ardchoille> greezmunkey: but that error has got me puzzled
[02:32] <histo> CkhiKuzad: does grub load?
[02:33] <CkhiKuzad> histo, thats completely redundant. my boot directory is EMPTY
[02:33] <greezmunkey> ardchoille, Me too, but the program seems to run. I do have an install of MySQL here though, could be because of that??
[02:33] <histo> CkhiKuzad: did you issue the reinstall of the image command?
[02:33] <CkhiKuzad> yes
[02:33] <histo> CkhiKuzad: then you also have to reinstall grub
[02:33] <CkhiKuzad> and thats when it lagged me off.
[02:33] <histo> CkhiKuzad: so it didn't finish the reinstall of the files?
[02:33] <CkhiKuzad> no it didnt,
[02:34] <CkhiKuzad> could you send the commands to do that again, it might have been how many files i had open
[02:34] <histo> CkhiKuzad: huh yeah that should replace the images in /boot if you reinstall one of them.
[02:35] <ardchoille> greezmunkey: I don't think it's that
[02:35] <queso> How can I get the deb for nvidia-glx-185? http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/nvidia-glx-185 There's no download link . . ?
[02:35] <phoebus> Anyone watch zeitgeist addendum?
[02:35] <queso> Oh poo, I found it, nevermind. :)
[02:35] <ardchoille> queso: which version of ubuntu?
[02:35] <ardchoille> ok
[02:36] <queso> ardchoille: I'm in jaunty
[02:36] <supremearyal> queso: click on whichever architecture you are on at the bottom of that page
[02:36] <CkhiKuzad> histo, could you send the commands to do that again, it might have been how many files i had open
[02:36] <gm|lap> hey, how do you set a video mode which isn't in the "display" menu?
[02:36] <gm|lap> this USED to be able to set 1024x768 for my primary monitor
[02:37] <queso> It says it's for karmic, but I'm on jaunty.  I couldn't get my video driver to work unless it was 185.  So I downloaded that off the nvidia site.  Now I need opengl support so I want to use version 185 or, I'm guessing, it's going to break my video card driver.  So I guess I have to use a karmic deb in jaunty.
[02:37] <gm|lap> alternatively, how do you make the mode appear in the "display" dialogue (s/menu/dialogue/)
[02:37] <todd_> hey guys, can anyone help me with a theme problem?
[02:37] <histo> CkhiKuzad: sudo mkdir /media/sda1 && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 && sudo chroot /media/sda1 && sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-2.6.28-17-generic linux-image-generic grub
[02:37] <greezmunkey> ardchoille, now that you mention it, there does seem to be something wrong...I don't have time to check it out now though, thanks!
[02:37] <Gryllida> todd_ : we can try once we see the question :)
[02:37] <ardchoille> queso: don't mix version packages, that will only cause problems
[02:38] <queso> ardchoille: What else can I do?
[02:38] <histo> CkhiKuzad: you may not have to do the mkdir if you are using the same os right now as before.
[02:38] <ardchoille> queso: nvidia card?
[02:38] <todd_> Gryllida: thanks
[02:38] <queso> ardchoille: Yes.  The solution would be for Ubuntu to have a package for Jaunty, but there isn't one.
[02:39] <ardchoille> !info nvidia-glx-185 jaunty
[02:39] <queso> ardchoille: I have version 185 working because I downloaded it and it compiled and installed for my kernel.
[02:39] <CkhiKuzad> if i lag out, i lagged out.
[02:39] <Guest30277> hey why cant I enable desktop graphics?
[02:39] <histo> Guest30277: what kind of graphic card do you have?
[02:39] <Guest30277> ATI Xpress
[02:40] <CkhiKuzad> histo i'm worried about lagging out again from firefox
[02:40] <queso> ardchoille: :(
[02:40] <histo> Guest30277: system > administration > hardware drivers
[02:40] <CkhiKuzad> so i'm going to PM you the result of the terminal, rather than using pastebin, ok?
[02:40] <Guest30277> Nope
[02:40] <Guest30277> Checked it didn't have anything
[02:40] <ardchoille> queso: which card do you have? 5 or 6 series?
[02:40] <JoeSomebody> is gtk 2 on karmic already, or does it need to be added?
[02:40] <histo> !ati > Guest30277
[02:40] <Guest30277> It says
[02:40] <histo> CkhiKuzad: k
[02:41] <ardchoille> JoeSomebody: gtk-2.0 has been in Ubuntu for a while
[02:41] <queso> ardchoille: I don't know, is there a command I can run to find out?  (I do know that it didn't work with version 180 of the driver.)
[02:41] <JoeSomebody> ardchoille thanks
[02:41] <Guest30277> I qute "Desktop effects could not be enabled"
[02:41] <jtwhite> My computer overheats when running Ubuntu but not Windows... Why is this?
[02:42] <ardchoille> queso: I asked because I have nvidia geforce 6200 and it works but there's a bug in the driver that affects compiz, just curious about which card you had
[02:42] <Guest30277> I have a driver for it i checked with envyng I have the most recent apparently
[02:42] <jtwhite> It's a Dell Inspiron 1525
[02:42] <ardchoille> queso: does the 185 driver work?
[02:42] <todd_> i installed a theme package that came with 6 tar.gz files, i exracted them. each file i am guessing contains a different component of the theme. so from there i went to system>preferences>appearance>themes>install. 1 of the 6 tar.gz files installed. the other files which contain emblems and what will not install. is there another route that i can take to add the themes to my system? am i doing something wrong?
[02:43] <seanbrystone> dont extract them
[02:43] <queso> ardchoille: Yes, the 185 driver does work (I got it from nvidia's website). This is the script I run to compile/install it: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg1.run
[02:43] <queso> ardchoille: (And with this driver compiz works)
[02:43] <ardchoille> queso: ok, so what is the issue now? I must have missed something
[02:43] <Darxus> Why is /var/log/mail.log listed in the output of both syslogd-listfiles and syslogd-listfiles --weekly?  The syslogd-listfiles man page seems to be saying these lists are based on /etc/syslog.conf, but I only have one entry for mail.log in it.  Probably the default config.
[02:44] <queso> ardchoille: I need opengl support.  So I figured nvidia-glx-185 was what I should install to get it.
[02:44] <steelsteve> hello!
[02:44] <lpirkel> hey
[02:44] <ardchoille> todd_: when you use the theme manager to install themes, they are usually placed in ~/.themes (for themes) or ~/.icons (for icons)
[02:44] <queso> ardchoille: I'm trying to get photoshop to run in wine and someone in #winehq said it wasn't a wine problem but a distro problem.
[02:45] <todd_> ardchoille: oh i see, so what do i need to do differently?
[02:45] <ardchoille> queso: Ah, ok. I can't help much with wine, never used it but wine might be the problem, I don't know
[02:45] <lpirkel> alright i see a lot of people who are asking questions here but ive got a wireless question
[02:46] <ardchoille> todd_: try unpacking the theme components and placing them in the proper folder: ~/.themes or ~/.icons
[02:46] <ardchoille> todd_: which theme was it? if you can get me a link to download it I can look at it and tell you more
[02:46]  * srnth is away: AFK
[02:46] <todd_> that would be awsome!
[02:47] <cows> hello?
[02:47] <cows> can u hear me
[02:47] <ardchoille> !away > srnth
[02:47] <lpirkel> anyone here good with wireless problems?
[02:47] <steelsteve> just ask
[02:47] <cows> lpirkel, whats ur problem
[02:47] <queso> ardchoille: No, the wine folk said it was an issue with my distro. Ubuntu hasn't yet installed support for opengl. That's why I want to install that karmic deb, because it matches the version of my video driver.
[02:47] <todd_> ardchoille: http://www.4shared.com/file/141492476/7c00c2df/Windows7tar.html
[02:48] <lpirkel> lol sorry, so im sorta new to ubuntu and my broadcom 802.11b/g wireless card doesnt work with ubuntu
[02:48] <gm|lap> does anyone have any idea on how to set *any* video mode on an X11 server on-the-fly?
[02:48] <gm|lap> xvidtune doesn't seem to have the options i need
[02:48] <lpirkel> i tried the whole b43 cutter thing but im suckin at making it work
[02:48] <ardchoille> todd_: hold on.. waiting for the download link
[02:49] <steelsteve> I need hope... and help, I can't seem to use high-end social sites (yeah, I use those 'cause I have a life, sorta). the problem is that on facebook and others I can't seem to get anything beyond viewing pages, anything else produces a blank page. I use 9.10 and the latest firefox
[02:49] <srnth> lpirkel, have you tried the broadcom STA driver?
[02:49] <ardchoille> todd_: 17mb? sounds like it has an icon theme too
[02:49] <todd_> yeah it does
[02:49] <todd_> it is a windows 7 pack
[02:49] <ardchoille> queso: But installing a karmic .deb on jaunty will likely cause more problems, if it installs at all
[02:50] <burdie2> okay when I right click on the desktop im not getting any bar popping up!
[02:50] <lpirkel> i have not...see i tried doing the sudo apt-get install b43 cutter command but it says it cant find it and i also tried the same with build essential, same problem
[02:50] <ardchoille> todd_: I'll unpack it and see what I can find, will be back with you shortly
[02:50] <steelsteve> someone who can help me just send a private message
[02:50] <steelsteve> I need hope... and help, I can't seem to use high-end social sites (yeah, I use those 'cause I have a life, sorta). the problem is that on facebook and others I can't seem to get anything beyond viewing pages, anything else produces a blank page. I use 9.10 and the latest firefox
[02:50] <todd_> ardchoille: thank you!
[02:51] <ardchoille> todd_: which version of ubuntu are you running?
[02:51] <todd_> 9.10
[02:51] <queso> ardchoille: So what should I do? :(
[02:51] <lpirkel> srnth: do you see what im saying?
[02:51] <srnth> does anyone know the package for the STA driver? I forgot =P
[02:51] <ardchoille> queso: I don't know.
[02:52] <ardchoille> This is what I get for buildiing my computers from parts that I already know work with Ubuntu
[02:52] <burdie2> okay when I right click on the desktop im not getting any bar popping up!
[02:52] <queso> ardchoille: Well, what package should I install to get opengl support?  Is nvidia-glx even the right package?
[02:52] <ardchoille> todd_: ok, you'll need to unpack the initial package, go into the resulting folder and drag each of the packages there into the theme manager. Try that
[02:52] <srnth> lpirkel: can you pastebin the error you get when you try to install? "it cant find it" is not very specific xD
[02:53] <queso> ardchoille: I think I should already have opengl support. :/
[02:53] <todd_> unpack?
[02:53] <lpirkel> srnth: umm it says building dependancy tree...then i think it says could not locate package information or something on E:/ im on XP right now unfortunately
[02:53] <queso> ardchoille: Is it because I used the script off their site to install the driver? Could it be that it installed in a non-standard place the support for opengl (from the perspective of ubuntu)?
[02:53] <ardchoille> queso: I think you should too, that's why I still say it's a wine problem
[02:53] <steelsteve> ... any longer and I might just start spamming
[02:54] <srnth> lpirkel, can I PM you?
[02:54] <ardchoille> queso: interesting thought, but again I don't know
[02:54] <rasstar> flash on linux seems to be really bad compared to windows. Using almost 100% of my cpu for a 1080p video
[02:54] <queso> ardchoille: What's a sure-fire way to make sure I have opengl installed?
[02:54] <SpockVulcan> steelsteve: just state your question
[02:54] <steelsteve> I have
[02:54] <SkyPirate> I have a question about downloading a certain program on Linux
[02:54] <lpirkel>  srnth: sure
[02:54] <ardchoille> todd_: right click the initial package and choose "extract here"
[02:54] <todd_> ardchiolle: did that process work for you?
[02:54] <ardchoille> yes
[02:55] <steelsteve> SpockVulcan: I have, twice
[02:55] <ardchoille> todd_: being that you're on 9.10, you won't be able to use the gdm theme as the gdm in 9.10 is not yet feature complete
[02:55] <SpockVulcan> steelsteve: od it again
[02:55] <SkyPirate> how do I download Soya3D?
[02:55] <steelsteve> I need hope... and help, I can't seem to use high-end social sites (yeah, I use those 'cause I have a life, sorta). the problem is that on facebook and others I can't seem to get anything beyond viewing pages, anything else produces a blank page. I use 9.10 and the latest firefox
[02:55] <burdie2> okay when I right click on the desktop im not getting any bar popping up!
[02:56] <Roll_Tide> Hi, I have dual monitors, works perfect except every reboot I have to redo the setup. When I try to save it I get this error "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!" I'm doing it in "NVIDIA X Server Settings"
[02:56] <todd_> ardchoille: ok i have unpacked all 6 of the files. now the theme manager? is that the theme window under appearances?
[02:56] <Gryllida> Is there a way to make Ubuntu boot, splash screens non-graphical, so that they show information about what's going on?
[02:56] <Out_Cold> if my hosts.deny keeps blocking IPs for sshd where can I shut this off??
[02:56] <Gryllida> Like it is in Damn Small Linux and other smaller distributions:... NNN MB RAM... N00MHz processor ... PS2 mouse...
[02:56] <manojkmohan> .
[02:56] <Gryllida> - all in a black window with white letters?
[02:57] <steelsteve> that's BIOS info Gryllida
[02:57] <burdie2> okay when I right click on the desktop im not getting any bar popping up!
[02:57] <Out_Cold> Gryllida, there's a key to do that. You can most likely do for bios and grub
[02:57] <ardchoille> todd_: no, just unpack the initial downloaded package, which it sounds like you already did, then go into the Windows7 folder and drag each of the desired packages into the theme manager. Don't bother with the win7.emerald and gdm packages
[02:57] <Gryllida> steelsteve: Should I change something in BIOS? (What?)
[02:58] <steelsteve> no, the info is found by the BIOS
[02:58] <Gryllida> Out_Cold: How? which key?
[02:58] <steelsteve> nevermind
[02:58] <Out_Cold> Gryllida, possibly F2 or F8 or ESC or DEL, depends on the system
[02:59] <Gryllida> steelsteve, where is the info is found by the BIOS? where and what should I undertake to do a non-GUI boot?
[02:59] <supremearyal> Gryllida,  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=638375
[02:59] <queso> ardchoille: Thanks for your help. I think you're right, I must already have OpenGL support. I have a game called Neverball installed, which requires OpenGL, and the game works.  I'm off to #winehq again. Thanks again.
[02:59] <ksbalaji> my os is ubuntu hardy. I removed oo installd from repo 2.x and tried to install 3.2 downloaded as deb pack. I could not find instructions as to which deb file to install first etc.
[02:59] <ardchoille> queso: Ah, I thought so. you're welcome
[02:59] <ksbalaji> now after installation, oo does not open. I get message: missing vcl resources -corrupt installation. Help!
[02:59] <steelsteve> it depends on the starting splash screen Gryllida
[02:59] <ksbalaji> Deb linux oo 3.2 installation help?
[03:00] <steelsteve> it should say to press something for system info

[03:01] <todd_> ardchoille: how do i get to theme manager?
[03:01] <ardchoille> Is emerald dead or dying off?
[03:01] <grumbly> I need some help installing a second distro to a seperate partition without wiping out grub2
[03:01] <ardchoille> todd_: System > Preferences > Appearance
[03:01] <grumbly> i dont know how to do it
[03:01] <OpenSourcery> does the live cd come with the nessacay sw to set up a proxy server?
[03:01] <Gryllida> supremearyal, thanks
[03:02] <OpenSourcery> i would like to test something and not have to wait for the packages to dl
[03:02] <Hammerjak> grumbly: just make sure the second distro doesn't install a bootloader, what's the problem?
[03:02] <histo> OpenSourcery: you want to create a proxy server from a live cd?
[03:02] <todd_> and i can just drag the file with the icons to the theme manager?
[03:02] <grumbly> Hammerjak: I'm on  a netbook and don't happen to have a usb disk of any sort
[03:02] <Hammerjak> grumbly: have you created your second partition?
[03:02] <ardchoille> Hammerjak: the second distro should recognize and add the current install to the boot menu, that has been my experience
[03:02] <supremearyal> todd_: right click on desktop and click "Change Desktop Background", then select the tab labeled "Theme" on the top
[03:02] <steelsteve> I need hope... and help, I can't seem to use high-end social sites (yeah, I use those 'cause I have a life, sorta). the problem is that on facebook and others I can't seem to get anything beyond viewing pages, anything else produces a blank page. I use 9.10 and the latest firefox
[03:02] <steelsteve> I NEED help on this, I can't seem to use the forums anyways
[03:03] <grumbly> Hammerjak: i have
[03:03] <ardchoille> todd_: you should be able to yes
[03:03] <jeeez> why does firefox load images in a window, and when i right click-->save, it downloads the whole image again?
[03:03] <Hammerjak> grumbly: I'm assuming your current distro is ubuntu, correct?
[03:03] <grumbly> Hammerjak: yeh, karmic
[03:04] <Hammerjak> grumbly: ok then it's using grub2, you just install the second distro (make sure *not* to let it install a bootloader) then boot ubuntu and run 'sudo update-grub'
[03:04] <coz_> jeeez,   can you link to to a site that you have done this on
[03:04] <todd_> ardchoille: only 1 out of the 6 files will actually drag and drop. the other files say "does not appear to be a valid theme"
[03:04] <jeeez> http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/Dd9b7ab7/02156_orangedays_1440x900.jpg
[03:04] <ardchoille> todd_: which one worked?
[03:05] <coz_> jeeez,  file not found with that link
[03:05] <histo> steelsteve: what kind of video card?
[03:05] <ardchoille> todd_: we should continue this in PM. May I pm you?
[03:05] <jeeez> oh, right.
[03:05] <grumbly> Hammerjak: if it DOES install a bootloader (ie, dosn't give me an option not to) is it a matter of just reinstalling grub from within karmic
[03:05] <Hammerjak> grumbly: yes
[03:05] <Hammerjak> grumbly: what's the second distro you're planning on installing?
[03:05] <jeeez> coz_: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/downloads/downloads/widescreen/1440x900/ its the same for any image. when i click on download, it opens the image inside the browser
[03:05] <ranjan> Hello every body ... I am having some storage space problem i have dual booted my computer in which i am hving xp in one part and ubuntu 9.10 on other and an common space in between this two  all this i have done on an 80gb's of hard disk and now i am having some trouble in storage space ... i mean to say i am runing low in storage space so i am planing to go for an external hard disk but i am not able to decide in which file system should i format it so tha
[03:05] <ranjan> t i can use it with charm from both the platform .. should i go for ntfs or some thing els .. please sugest ...
[03:06] <jeeez> coz_: and when i right click and save it, it downloads all over again. its a pain, my net connection is really slow
[03:06] <todd_> yes please!
[03:06] <grumbly> Hammerjak: I was gonna play with moblin
[03:06] <histo> jeeez: its a problem with they're site design
[03:06] <coz_> jeeez,   well I believe  it is caching that picture  ....there is probably another way to directly download it  but not sure off hand
[03:06] <grumbly> Hammerjak: and maybe play with lucid
[03:06] <CrOnOs__> grumbly: why dont you try install grub on the partition not on the mbr ?
[03:06] <Hammerjak> grumbly: ah, ok I haven't played with that one but the last step before install should have some sort of Advanced button to un-check the bootloader install
[03:06] <coz_> jeeez,  you may be able to do a wget
[03:06] <histo> jeeez: right click on teh download button
[03:06] <Darxus> Ahhh, I think my mail.log is getting rotated every day because it's always over 1mb.
[03:07] <ardchoille> todd_: see my PM
[03:07] <grumbly> CrOnOs__: I don't know if I'll have the option
[03:07] <John-_> So is a repository a collection of data on a third party developer who sends updates?
[03:07] <histo> jeeez: and save link as
[03:07] <jeeez> histo: yeah, i get it.
[03:07] <histo> jeeez: that way you don't have to jump through clicking then right clicking.
[03:08] <jeeez> histo: yes sir! :)
[03:08] <CrOnOs__> grumbly: what distro are you installing?
[03:08] <grumbly> CrOnOs__: Moblin- and maybe lucid
[03:09] <grumbly> i'm not new to *nixes but not too familiar with linux
[03:09] <grumbly> more familiar with freebsd- but i can't get it working on the netbook for lack of supported drivers
[03:10] <grumbly> Hammerjak: What if I were to install it using VirtualBox to the partition?
[03:10] <Hammerjak> grumbly: if you use virtualbox you don't need a partition at all
[03:11] <Hammerjak> grumbly: virtualbox is an application you would run from ubuntu which would run another OS within it
[03:11] <grumbly> Hammerjak: I know, but I dont know how i'm even going to get the installer iso to load without a USB disk
[03:11] <Hammerjak> grumbly: not sure on the performance of running a virtual machine on a netbook though
[03:11] <grumbly> Hammerjak: Virtual machine on a net book= not good...
[03:12] <grumbly> Hammerjak: it's kind of like trying to live on squirrel milk...
[03:12] <Hammerjak> grumbly: i wouldn't suggest virtualbox then :)
[03:12] <grumbly> Hammerjak: I mean to use it simply as a mechanism for loading the install disc
[03:12] <LINUXUSERNEEDSHE> How do I get into GDM Manager in ubuntu 9.10?
[03:12] <anon> you dont
[03:12] <coz_> LINUXUSERNEEDSHE,  what are you trying to do
[03:12] <CrOnOs__> grumbly: why dont you try ubuntu netbook remix im using that now
[03:13] <grumbly> Hammerjak: unless there's a magical ability to boot from iso...
[03:13] <LINUXUSERNEEDSHE> I want to change themes
[03:13] <````````````````> I dont like the ubuntu netbook remix
[03:13] <LINUXUSERNEEDSHE> login theme
[03:13] <Hammerjak> grumbly: not that i'm aware of
[03:13] <````````````````> Its fail
[03:13] <grumbly> CrOnOs__: I didnt like it...
[03:13] <coz_> LINUXUSERNEEDSHE,  ok hold on let me get command
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> grub2 can boot iso files for some distros
[03:13] <Hammerjak> LINUXUSERNEEDSHE: you can't change login themes in karmic... though you can change the background image
[03:13] <grumbly> CrOnOs__: I dont like the clutter interface
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> LINUXUSERNEEDSHE:  the 9.10 gdm is not very themeable. You can install the old gdm if you want to use old gdm themes
[03:13] <coz_> LINUXUSERNEEDSHE,  ok   this is the command     gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties
[03:14] <coz_> LINUXUSERNEEDSHE,  that will open up what appears to be the appearance  dialog
[03:14] <infid> what does chmod +s do?
[03:14] <Dr_Willis> LINUXUSERNEEDSHE:  theres a few tools that let you tweak the looks of gdm2  - but its not as themeable as the old gdm
[03:14] <Dr_Willis> infid:  sets the SUID bit
[03:14] <coz_> LINUXUSERNEEDSHE,  you choose a theme like you are choosing a regular gtk2 theme for the windows
[03:14] <grumbly> Hammerjak: you can change login themes,,, I did it... using GDM2Setup
[03:14] <Hammerjak> grumbly: ooooo, i didn't know about that tool :D
[03:14] <coz_> LINUXUSERNEEDSHE,  reboot  and it should show that theme on login but NOT for the windows
[03:14] <CrOnOs__> grumbly: can you use other machine to virtualize those installs and see if you have grub options?
[03:15] <````````````````> how is babby formed
[03:15] <hikenboot> how do i get dpkg to create a log so i can find out why flash-pluggin is failing?
[03:15] <Dr_Willis> I have a list of a few other gdm2 config/theme tools at http://delicious.com/dr_willis under the gdm/gdm2 tags
[03:15] <grumbly> CrOnOs__: I would like to try but I don't know if I can boot off the installed virtual machine... even if I use an actual disc
[03:15] <grumbly> disk
[03:15] <LINUXUSERNEEDSHE> okay thanks, but I had a glossy black theme then I installed GDM and now its a generic looking login menu with a different background
[03:15] <infid> Dr_Willis: i know that but i dont know what that means exactly. i'm reading that it means to execute the program as the user who owns the file rather than who is currently trying to run the file
[03:16] <grumbly> LINUXUSERNEEDSHE: Take a gander at GDM2Setup
[03:16] <Dr_Willis> LINUXUSERNEEDSHE:  the 'epidermis' program also ;ets you change the dfault gdm2 themes from a choice of about 6 alternatives
[03:16] <Dr_Willis> infid:  yes. thats what it does
[03:16] <grumbly> LINUXUSERNEEDSHE: I think you can get it with ubuntu tweak, but maybe apt too...
[03:16] <grumbly> Dr_Willis: huh... never saw that one...
[03:16] <Dr_Willis> infid:  set teh suid bit on 'reboot' and then any user can type reboot.. and system reboots. as if root ran it
[03:17] <Dr_Willis> grumbly:  epidermis worked good for a bit..bt has issues last i tried it
[03:17] <LINUXUSERNEEDSHE> how do I get into GDM2Setup?
[03:17] <grumbly> CrOnOs__: if I use virtualbox or some other virtualization, will I be able to boot off the resultant instalation?
[03:18] <grumbly> LINUXUSERNEEDSHE: If you've installed it, it should be in preferences or administration
[03:18] <grumbly> Dr_Willis: I never had any issues with GDM2Setup
[03:18] <CrOnOs__> grumbly: you dont need to boot the system only see what boot options give you on each distro, if they alow chose where install grub mbr or partition
[03:19] <LINUXUSERNEEDSHE> the gdm im running is the 2.28.1 version
[03:19] <momita> im getting print errors everytime i try to print
[03:19] <greezmunkey> ardchoille, I bailed on gwget, no biggie! I just use the command line when I need it!
[03:19] <Dr_Willis> grumbly:  epidermis does more then gdm2setup does -
[03:19] <grumbly> CrOnOs__: Oh... I misunderstood what you were saying.  Even still, I dont want to bother taking the time unless I can boot off the installed system
[03:19] <momita> after i upgraded new kernel etc
[03:20] <Dr_Willis> grumbly:  epidermis hs some quirks
[03:20] <momita> how do i troubleshoot?
[03:20] <Dr_Willis> LINUXUSERNEEDSHE:  find the gdm2setup homepage? read/install/run it?
[03:20] <spikku> Hmm, so I set a dir to chown www-data:www-data, and added group www-data to my user, and still don't have access to the dir. ? Am I missing something?
[03:20] <````````````````> well first you have to install windows 7
[03:20] <````````````````> NOTRLLY
[03:20] <grumbly> Dr_Willis: hehe... Its the quirks that it does better, right? :)
[03:20] <ardchoille> greezmunkey: That works too :)
[03:20] <Dr_Willis> grumbly:  not when it coredumps
[03:21] <spikku> also, yes, the dir is g+w
[03:21] <Dr_Willis> grumbly:  I think theres work to be done in the whole 'theme selection' area under gnome/ubuntu :) its gotten way too complex.
[03:21] <coz_> Dr_Willis,  interesting site ...didnt know about this :)
[03:22] <Dr_Willis> coz_:  delicious? :) its a must use site
[03:22] <coz_> Dr_Willis,  I like it :)
[03:22] <grumbly> so, CrOnOs__ or Hammerjak, or anyone else, do you know if I use VirtualBox to load/install an ISO to a separate partition, will that installation be bootable thru the currently installed grub2 or will it just be a waste of time?
[03:22] <Dr_Willis> coz_:  bettre in google in some ways for finding sites with info/related info to a topic
[03:22] <CrOnOs__> grumbly: well the problem is i never installed any of those distros but the option to install grub probably is there, you can always try and even if you delete your grub you can boot from usb/livecd and restore aold grub
[03:22] <evim> vvvvvvvvvvvvv
[03:23] <coz_> Dr_Willis,  very cool.... now i have something to do beside play solitaire :)
[03:23] <Dr_Willis> grumbly:  using virtualbox to access a 'real' hard drive is not reallly a recomended thing.
[03:23] <grumbly> CrOnOs__: that's not the question.  I need to know if I the installation will boot if I use virtualbox to install it.  I dont have a disc
[03:23] <Hammerjak> grumbly: I'm pretty sure it'll be a waste of time... I didn't even know you could install a VM on a partition... I've only used the virtual hard disks virtualbox creates
[03:24] <Dr_Willis> grumbly:  i have seen 'convert vbox to a real install' type guides but never tried them
[03:24] <sn1ffer72> I have been coding all night
[03:24] <sn1ffer72> so I figured what a better way to waste some time like a good old chatroom
[03:24] <grumbly> Dr_Willis and Hammerjak: ok...  Thankyou for your input.
[03:24] <CrOnOs__> grumbly: i wont recomend it
[03:24] <sn1ffer72> Have any of you ever heard of Chi-Running? or barefoot running?
[03:25] <TheDodo> I have, although I've not heard it called Chi-running.
[03:25] <sn1ffer72> A friend of mine said by wearing these crazy shoes it makes your legs stronger. (not sketchers)
[03:25] <sn1ffer72> http://vibramfivefingershoes.net
[03:25] <sn1ffer72> He said because you run on the balls of your feet vs. heels.
[03:26] <TheDodo> Yes, it forces you to put your foot down differently as you run, which results in both less wear and tear and better posture.
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> sn1ffer72:  chat in #ubuntu+1 please
[03:26] <sn1ffer72> I think they are ugly, but it does really make sense on how they work.
[03:26] <grumbly> So my next question: can I, in any way, boot an ISO from grub2?
[03:26] <sn1ffer72> Has anyone ever heard of them or tried them?
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> oops wrong channel :)
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> !ot
[03:26] <sn1ffer72> you dodo?
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> sn1ffer72:  read reviews - says they dojnt work.
[03:26] <Talon_> grumbly: I'm not too sure, i dual boot windows and linux, installed windows first, then linux so i had a choice in grub, but I've been seriously thinking about deleting windows because the games i play work in wine, and seamless mode in virtualbox is awesome for those windows apps i cant part with that wont work in wine.
[03:26] <LINUXUSERNEEDSHE> this is the website for GDM2setup, how do I actually install this package?https://launchpad.net/~gdm2setup/+archive/gdm2setup/+packages
[03:26] <sn1ffer72> prob is I see a lot of mixed reviews
[03:27] <sn1ffer72> and this kid at work.. whom I trust
[03:27] <Hammerjak> grumbly: i've never tried that, but I don't know how grub can mount an iso without first mounting the drive holding the iso
[03:27] <Dr_Willis> !ot | sn1ffer72
[03:27] <sn1ffer72> seems to think something about em.. but I am not sure
[03:27] <grumbly> Hammerjak: I know grub cant, but I thought grub2 might... I at least thought I remembered seeing it was possible, if not easy....
[03:28] <grumbly> but I can't remember the link
[03:28] <sn1ffer72> I mean I am not a really good runner
[03:28] <sn1ffer72> but I can code :)
[03:28] <Edgar1> hello, I have a c-media sound card. Before worked fine, but now it doesnt. Dont know why, when I lspci in the terminal it doesnt show the sound card, it seems that the systems doesnt recognize it, what can I do to enabled it again?
[03:28] <Hammerjak> grumbly: i'll admit i don't know grub2 very much, it wouldn't surprise me but i'm not the one to ask for advice on that one :)
[03:28] <grumbly> Hammerjak: ok!
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> grumbly:  grub2 can boot iso files. but they have to reside on a filesystem grub2 can normally access.. not sure what fs's its limitd to these days. It can do ext2/3/4 and vfat i know. proberly can do others
[03:29] <grumbly> hah... If it will do it, I'm gonna try and get freebsd on this crabby snabby turdbag
[03:29] <grumbly> Dr_Willis: it'll be on an ext4 part
[03:29] <Hammerjak> grumbly: kinda offtopic, but have you played with pc-bsd at all?
[03:30] <shenmue> hello from moscow =)
[03:30] <grumbly> Hammerjak: yes.  it is... "the bsd equivalant of ubunut"
[03:30] <grumbly> as it was kindly put...
[03:30] <Edgar1> can anyone help me with my sound card issue?
[03:31] <JoeSomebody> i installled some themes, and they are not there in appearance, how do i fix this?
[03:31] <grumbly> I used it a few years ago, back when 6.0 was all the rage... but I found it a little... off.  I couldn't get out of the genkernel and couldnt do a couple other things.  This was years ago though, so I can only expect it to have gotten better
[03:31] <hikenboot> hello all the file adobe-flashplugin.prerm does not exist on my karmic system a solution to the remove error #2 was to patch this file anyone know where i can find it?
[03:32] <coz_> hikenboot,   try  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:33] <grumbly> Hammerjak: if you havent had your hands on setting up a FreeBSD system, it's actually quite easy... I dont know why people would want to use PC-BSD.  but then again, I'm not afraid of CLI and i know how to find and read man pages.
[03:33] <Hammerjak> grumbly: yeah, i installed freebsd a couple months ago just to play with it and i never could get gdm/kde to launch
[03:33] <Hammerjak> grumbly: i have no use for a server so i didn't really want to setup the box the CLI way
[03:33] <coz_> hikenboot,  sorry didnt read your post carefully enough
[03:34] <JoeSomebody> hi , i installed some themes, and they are not there in appearance, how do i make them re-appear?
[03:34] <grumbly> Hammerjak: Getting an X system on it really isn't difficult...
[03:34] <grumbly> especially now... there's dbus and hald
[03:34] <coz_> hikenboot,  that particular file does not exist on my system either
[03:34] <coz_> hikenboot,   what is it that requires it?
[03:34] <Hammerjak> grumbly: eh, that's alright, i was just poking around with it in a VM anyway
[03:35] <hikenboot> its a required file that needs to be patched in order to uninstall the flash plugin properly
[03:35] <Hammerjak> anyway, i gotta go, see ya
[03:35] <grumbly> Hammerjak: OH! that is a very different ball of crap...  I have NEVER been able to get a reasonable X anything in VM running freebsd
[03:35] <Hammerjak> grumbly: lmao, thanks that makes me feel better :)
[03:35] <coz_> hikenboot,  so if you go into synaptic pacakge
[03:35] <grumbly> MAYBE ice...
[03:35] <grumbly> but thats it
[03:36] <coz_> hikenboot,   sorry  synatpic  hit search  type in adobe and right clickt he flashplugin-installer  "REmove completly"  it  gives an error?
[03:36] <grumbly> Hammerjak: I did get xfce on ONCE... but it was QUIRKY AS HELL
[03:36] <skullcandy> hey guys, does anyone know how to find the default gateway of a computer on ubuntu?, i know how to do it in windows, ipconfig /all, but what is the default ip adress command in the terminal>
[03:36] <skullcandy> ?
[03:37] <IdleOne> skullcandy: ifconfig -a
[03:37] <seanbrystone> how do i install KDE4 (or whatever the newest one is) on Ubuntu 9.10?
[03:37] <grumbly> skullcandy: ifconfig -a
[03:37] <grumbly> DAMN LAG
[03:37] <Gamrok> hey can i revert back to the old gdm viasynaptic
[03:37] <dyrnade> hey
[03:37] <skullcandy> thankyou guys
[03:37] <sn1ffer72> ip route add default via 192.168.1.254
[03:37] <Gamrok> hey can i revert back to the old gdm vias ynaptic
[03:37] <IdleOne> grumbly: please drop the caps and watch your language
[03:37] <genii> Gamrok: No
[03:37] <grumbly> seanbrystone: do you want to install kubuntu-desktop?
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> Gamrok:  yes you can - from what ive heard
[03:38] <grumbly> seanbrystone: or just kde?
[03:38] <hikenboot> http://pastebin.ca/1803349
[03:38] <sn1ffer72> that was for you skullcandy
[03:38] <seanbrystone> grumbly, ?is that kde 4 or 4.5
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> Gamrok:  i havent done it. Ivve seen guides/tutorial sites that mention doing it
[03:38] <Gamrok> ok thanks guys
[03:38] <grumbly> seanbrystone: it's 4.4 i believe
[03:38] <snayth> Hi - If I go into System/Administration/Users and Groups - and make a new user or account can I delete the 1st original account I used to setup and install Karmic ? ?
[03:38] <seanbrystone> grumbly, not sure what the difference of kubunu-desktop is from KDE
[03:39] <dyrnade> who one knows the Aptana Studio's PHP plug-in matter?
[03:39] <skullcandy> @sn1ffer72 thankyou
[03:39] <dyrnade> who one knows the Aptana Studio's PHP plug-in matter?
[03:39] <grumbly> seanbrystone: kubuntu supplants the typical ubuntu installation with KDE and such... just installing kde won't do that, so you'll be able to get back into gnome with ease and not have to worry about missing things
[03:40] <seanbrystone> yeah i think i just want KDE by itself then
[03:40] <grumbly> seanbrystone: either way, use Synaptic...  they're both standard packages
[03:40] <seanbrystone> how would i do that?
[03:40] <dyrnade> who one knows the Aptana Studio's PHP plug-in matter?
[03:40] <dyrnade> who one knows the Aptana Studio's PHP plug-in matter?
[03:40] <shenmue> no flood =)
[03:41] <dyrnade> sorry about that:D
[03:41] <seanbrystone> grumbly, ok thanks
[03:41] <dyrnade> but nobody cares me :S

[03:41] <kareeser> racerd: what version of wine are you running?
[03:41] <racerd> 2.1
[03:41] <grumbly> seanbrystone: synaptic and search for kde.  when you find what you think is right, read the info... mark it to install, and if it says it's going to remove a bunch of stuff, you've chosen the wrong one
[03:41] <racerd> it was working and then it stopped
[03:41] <almoxarife> http://pastebin.ca/1803351 <-- see hikenboot
[03:41] <kareeser> racerd: 2.1? or 1.2? :P
[03:41] <magn3ts> If I want to move my home directory and its encrypted, should I log out first? Otherwise it will copy the encrypted version and the decrypted version, no?
[03:41] <racerd> i said... 1.2.....
[03:41] <racerd> >.>
[03:41] <seanbrystone> grumbly, ok thanks again :D

[03:43] <kareeser> racerd: have you tried using OSS instead of ALSA?
[03:43] <iconmefisto> !info kubuntu-desktop | seanbrystone
[03:43] <seanbrystone> iconmefisto, but isnt that more permanent? like how would i get back to ubuntu if things go wrong?
[03:43] <racerd> just kind of errored out
[03:43] <racerd> i was using oss and wow had sound
[03:43] <racerd> played a movie
[03:43] <racerd> .avi
[03:43] <racerd> came back
[03:43] <dyrnade> who one knows the Aptana Studio's PHP plug-in matter?
[03:43] <racerd> and no sound
[03:43] <FloodBot1> racerd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:43] <almoxarife> hikenboot: use synaptic, and repair, can you do that?
[03:43] <segin> What port does SWAT run on per default?
[03:44] <hikenboot> nope it fails to repair it
[03:44] <iconmefisto> seanbrystone: it's no more or less permanent than installing kdebase (or whatever package you intend to install)
[03:44] <skullcandy> @segin they run on 911
[03:44] <skullcandy> jk
[03:44] <segin> skullcandy: ty
[03:44] <almoxarife> hikenboot: is adobe flash installed as per synaptic?
[03:44] <iconmefisto> seanbrystone: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[03:44] <kareeser> racerd: ouch. that's weird.
[03:44] <racerd> yeah
[03:45] <seanbrystone> iconmefisto, thanks
[03:45] <racerd> it was
[03:45] <aanderse> i am trying to compile some software but i'm getting the following error: http://pastebin.ca/1803356 (note i DO have libxml2-dev installed!)
[03:45] <kareeser> racerd: unfortunately, out of the scope of my expertise, sorry buddy
[03:45] <aanderse> please help!
[03:45] <hikenboot> almoxarife it was installed via aptitude, but failed during the uninstall
[03:45] <histo> Is there a meta package for moblin?
[03:45] <Gryllida> Do you recommend to do disk defragmentation before shrinking a partition? Or is is of no relation to the safety level of the process?
[03:45] <almoxarife> hikenboot: adobe is installed as per synaptic?
[03:45] <Guest42316> I screwed up my video, im in low mode how do I fix it?
[03:45] <racerd> that is ok, my sound for my speakers don't work either, just the headphone jack.  I have a gateway p6831fx laptop
[03:45] <momita> i need cups help :(
[03:46] <Guest42316> low graphics mode*
[03:46] <racerd> is there a command i could use to reload the sound ?
[03:46] <kareeser> Guest42316: what did you do?
[03:46] <coz_> Gryllida,  definitly defrag windows before hand especially xp
[03:46] <kareeser> Guest42316: leading up to the error
[03:46] <Guest42316> install a bad driver
[03:46] <Guest42316> I fixed it though
[03:46] <WiW> Completely new to Ubuntu/Linux, trying to get my WiFi set up. It doesn't look like Ubuntu is even recognizing my WiFi adapter. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
[03:46] <almoxarife> racerd: 'sound' in prefs?
[03:46] <Guest42316> I uninstalled it completely now what?
[03:46] <kareeser> WiW: System -> Admin -> Hardware Drivers
[03:46] <hikenboot> almoxarife i did a sudo aptitude install ...
[03:46] <kareeser> Guest42316: can you install the correct driver? ;)
[03:46] <Guest42316> I still have the problem
[03:47] <Gryllida> coz_, thanks, and why "particularly xp"?
[03:47] <almoxarife> hikenboot: no matter, does synaptic see 'adobe flash' installed?
[03:47] <coz_> Gryllida,  I believe  windows7 defrags just after installation
[03:47] <racerd> i mean like a terminal command to reload the sound
[03:47] <coz_> Gryllida,  xp does not
[03:47] <Guest42316> kareese, I don't see it in hardware drivers and considering I screwed up last time I dont think its a good idea I try again.....
[03:47] <pedrocr> What package creates /etc/samba/smb.conf? I'm trying to get my installation back to pristine condition and am finding it difficult given that samba-common blows up on --reinstall if there is no /etc/samba/smb.conf
[03:47] <grumbly> iconmefisto: I only suggested one over the other so that some of the gnome stuff doesnt get removed by kubuntu-desktop
[03:48] <jimi_> This webpage doesn't resolve for me... but it does for others. Is it my isp's dns? Firefox can't find the server at support.moc.edu.
[03:48] <kareeser> Guest42316: while it might suck - try googling your wireless card (find it with "lshw -C network")
[03:48] <iconmefisto> grumbly: no gnome stuff should get removed. it's quite possible to have both kde and gnome
[03:48] <kareeser> Guest42316: special instructions, probably
[03:48] <Guest42316> VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]
[03:48] <Guest42316>  | thats my gpu
[03:48] <Gryllida> coz_, I see your main idea, thanks for this information
[03:48] <hikenboot> this is odd, but it fixed itself! http://pastebin.ca/1803361
[03:48] <coz_> Gryllida,  this is assuming you are installing on the same disk that windows is on...if on the other hand you have an extra drive in the system defragging is not necesary...simply install ubuntu to the secondary disk
[03:48] <kareeser> Guest42316: whoops... nevermind
[03:49] <brian_> re WiFi, I had to use ndiswrapper with a windows driver to get mine working. a google search with the product code should turn up something...
[03:49] <kareeser> Guest42316: wrong person... and command. ATI, eh?
[03:49] <grumbly> iconmefisto: I must be thinking of another package... kde-desktop maybe?  One of the kde- metas wants to remove some gnome stuff
[03:49] <Guest42316> Yeah
[03:49] <kareeser> Guest42316: have you tried reconfiguring your xorg.conf using the ati utility?
[03:49] <hikenboot> I just changed the package name
[03:49] <coz_> Gryllida,  also if  this is windows7  after some use  defrag that as well
[03:49] <Gryllida> coz_, that is right the case: I have only one disk, only one partition, need to shrink it. yes, I am on Windows XP. Thanks!
[03:49] <Guest42316> I dont even have that, I dont think I have ever had the driver
[03:49] <grumbly> iconmefisto: I only know because I was looking into it yesterday
[03:49] <Guest42316> IS it in synaptics package manager?
[03:49] <coz_> Gryllida,  cool good luck then :)
[03:50] <kareeser> Guest42316: it comes with the proprietary driver from ati.com
[03:50] <racerd> so how do i reload x11 w/o rebooting?
[03:50] <Gryllida> coz_, thanks for wishing good luck! :)
[03:50] <kareeser> racerd: sudo service gdm restart
[03:50] <kareeser> racerd: assuming you're using gnome
[03:50] <teratorn> what is the simplest way to build a new kernel, 2.6.32, (not avail through packages in ubuntu 9.10)?
[03:50] <arand> jimi_: came up on the second try for me, it's http://support.moc.edu/MRcgi/MRentrancePage.pl you're looking for right? (might have been unaccessible temporarily)
[03:50] <greezmunkey> pedrocr, here is a copy of a default smb.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/380118/
[03:51] <jimi_> arand, i think its m isp dns....
[03:51] <iconmefisto> grumbly: I've only ever done it the other way around, install ubuntu-desktop on a kubuntu install, so maybe you're right, but installing ubuntu-desktop again should set things back
[03:51] <teratorn> I just want the same configuration as the stock 2.6.31 kernel
[03:51] <kareeser> Guest42316: no clue... I use nvidia... let me... check....
[03:51] <grumbly> teratorn: you look at kernel.org yet?
[03:51] <pedrocr> greezmunkey, thanks, it worked now that I purged samba-common before reinstalling
[03:51] <greezmunkey> pedrocr, cool :)
[03:51] <grumbly> iconmefisto: that would work, but it's an extry step
[03:51] <teratorn> grumbly: is grabbing the tarball and starting from scratch your best advice? :)
[03:52] <Guest42316> Yeah I have a ballin gpu on my desktop a dual 9800 GTX+ graphics card but on this its meh
[03:52] <grumbly> teratorn: I dunno... I am not well versed in linux kernel building...
[03:52] <greezmunkey> meh??
[03:52] <SunshineDonut> Put in Casablanca, Totem gave me an error message, with reason: no reason.
[03:52] <almoxarife> ubuntu being made for the graphical minded user, why do I see so much terminal fix suggestions??? does not seem to me to fit the picture of  'ease', proving your terminal prowess is great, me, give me a gui fix and I am happy, just a thought
[03:52] <grumbly> teratorn: only ever did it a handfull of times and only when I really really needed to
[03:53] <racerd> ty
[03:53] <greezmunkey> almoxarife, you have to understand where Linux came from...
[03:53] <racerd> i'm going to try that here in a few
[03:53] <Gryllida> ... does GParted defragment a disk before shrinking a partition? or is this just not possible?
[03:53] <grumbly> almoxarife: because it's faster... and since most people who figure out fixes do so using cli... and it is STILL linux, which is... still very much a cli OS even with its bells and whistles
[03:54] <almoxarife> greezmunkey: I know where ubuntu is trying to go
[03:54] <magn3ts> How do I move an encrypted home folder? I can't execute the commands without being logged in, if I'm logged in then it mounts my home dir. It's lose lose. :[
[03:54] <greezmunkey> almoxarife, where is that?? Do tell.
[03:54] <pedrocr> is there any standard GUI config tool for samba or is editting /etc/samba/smb.conf the way to go?
[03:54] <almoxarife> greezmunkey: GUI, I like it
[03:54] <eer> is adobe flash player not working for ubuntu?
[03:55] <greezmunkey> pedrocr, none that are really worth using. There is a web interface.
[03:55] <grumbly> greezmunkey: He has a point.  It is definitly one of the more user friendly linux- non- windows-trying-to-be
[03:55] <teratorn> magn3ts: log in as root, or as another user, or login from a virtual console instead of through gdm, maybe?
[03:55] <kareeser> eer: sure it is :)
[03:55] <JoeSomebody> hi , i installed some themes, and they are not there in appearance, how do i make them re-appear? google was no help
[03:55] <almoxarife> pedrocr: there is, right click on a folder and you have the share option, that is samba giu
[03:55] <kareeser> JoeSomebody: how did you install them?
[03:55] <pedrocr> almoxarife, that I know, I meant the other options
[03:55] <MTecknology> I'm having troubles with grub after windows. I install grub again just findn but I can't make it detect the windows installation. Any ideas?
[03:55] <magn3ts> teratorn, if I login through a tty it mounts my dir. I don't have another user and root is disabled :P I think I'll just do it from a live disc
[03:55] <pedrocr> almoxarife, but thanks
[03:55] <JoeSomebody> kareeser dragged them
[03:56] <kareeser> JoeSomebody: to...?
[03:56] <pedrocr> to be able to browse the local network is it just a matter of setting the work group?
[03:56] <eer> since yesterday it is not working for me flv player, is it becvause of updates?
[03:56] <greezmunkey> grumbly, Agreed, but I don't know of any OS that is truely gui based.
[03:56] <JoeSomebody> kareeser appearance screen
[03:56] <grumbly> greezmunkey: Amiga
[03:56] <grumbly> no cli at all
[03:56] <kareeser> JoeSomebody: great - and... were there any errors?
[03:56] <almoxarife> pedrocr: I leave samba alone, most of my conf fixes are in dnsmasq.conf, no gui there I assume
[03:56] <MrsApple> i  need the az ubuntu channel name so i can join. anybody know what it is? and how to save it??
[03:57] <teratorn> magn3ts: why can't you "cd .." and umount /home/<user>
[03:57] <kareeser> magn3ts: sudo umount ;)
[03:57] <teratorn> hmmph, I guess the shell will have open files
[03:57] <magn3ts> teratorn, I can't imagine that unmounting while logged in is a good idea :O
[03:57] <teratorn> magn3ts: hey you're the one who asked for a hammer
[03:57] <JoeSomebody> kareeser should i delete them from .themes and start over?
[03:57] <grumbly> greezmunkey: there's a couple others out there... Like Mac OS 9 and such
[03:57] <teratorn> magn3ts: it won't hurt that much
[03:58] <JoeSomebody> kareeser yeah i had errors (newbie) looking for a cool theme
[03:58] <magn3ts> teratorn, lol. I don't mind restarting. I have to setup the fstab entry for /home anyway so its no biggie
[03:58] <custom_> hamza
[03:58] <kareeser> JoeSomebody: it depends... I usually go the direct route and extract the files straight to /usr/share/themes
[03:58] <almoxarife> perhaps ubuntu irc needs a #ubuntu-gui-fix-room ?
[03:58] <greezmunkey> grumbly, Mac OS 9... that went the way of the dinosaur, next...
[03:58] <kareeser> JoeSomebody: less of a headache, because I ran into the same probs. as you
[03:58] <WiW> lol
[03:58] <kareeser> JoeSomebody: yes... so clear your .themes first
[03:59] <JoeSomebody> kareeser ok , all of them?
[03:59] <grumbly> greezmunkey: and considering the AVERAGE user has probably never done anything that would need cli, Ubuntu has the right idea in trying to GUI-ficate and automate as much as possible
[03:59] <pedrocr> almoxarife, I'm just trying to browse the hosts in the local network and the network doesn't shown anything
[03:59] <kareeser> JoeSomebody: whichever ones don't show up in appearance settings :)
[03:59] <JoeSomebody> i don't know which were already there?
[03:59] <JoeSomebody> ah
[03:59] <JoeSomebody> ok
[03:59] <greezmunkey> grumbly, again , agreed.
[03:59] <kareeser> JoeSomebody: in other words - the ones that don't work :P
[04:00] <JoeSomebody> kareeser thanks :)
[04:00] <almoxarife> pedrocr: the 'host' os your harddrive
[04:00] <almoxarife> is
[04:00] <almoxarife> on wubi?
[04:00] <AlphaOne> hello people
[04:00] <grumbly> greezmunkey: Mac OS 9 and AmigaOS both... but if you ever want a really fun experience, use an amiga as a firewall
[04:01] <grumbly> Security through Obsolescence
[04:01] <Blue1> grumbly: smile when you say that
[04:01] <AlphaOne> Why are flash web videos playing so jerky?  I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop a few days ago.  Note:  I am Linux SUPER-N00B
[04:01] <almoxarife> pedrocr: is yours a wubi install?
[04:01] <grumbly> Blue1: I do!
[04:01] <greezmunkey> grumbly, yikes! But then again, Amiga was WAY ahead of the curve. The Internet was in diapers at the time... Back on topic...
[04:01] <kareeser> AlphaOne: do you have graphics card drivers installed through "System - Admin - Hardware Drivers"?
[04:02] <Blue1> AlphaOne: 32 bit or 64 bit system?
[04:02] <AlphaOne> 32
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> greezmunkey:  i still have several amigas :)
[04:02] <grumbly> greezmunkey: spanish for word... PALABRA
[04:02] <kareeser> AlphaOne: talk to Blue1, I'm actually swamped. Next time, buddy.
[04:02] <AlphaOne> lol ok kareeser
[04:02] <pedrocr> almoxarife, no, I'm trying to get Ubuntu to participate in an ADS network, found a howto already
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> Looking back at these old OS's i still see features they had that i wish were in Ubuntu/Linux
[04:02] <grumbly> Dr_Willis: Why don't other systems put their OS on EEprom???  its sooooo much faster to load!
[04:02] <momita> printing will work for my sudo user but not my normal user who cant be sudo :(
[04:02] <Blue1> AlphaOne: do this in your browser:  about:plugins
[04:02] <momita> can i get help
[04:02] <momita> ?
[04:03] <grumbly> Amiga is TOTALLY the shi...train
[04:03] <AlphaOne> bluel - how do I confirm that I have the proper graphics card drivers installed?
[04:03] <kareeser> momita: you need to be of the group "lpadmin"... I think
[04:03] <Blue1> crap -- about nospace colon plugins
[04:03] <AlphaOne> ok Bluel, I typed it in Firefox, but I also use Google Chrome
[04:03] <Blue1> about;plugins but a colon instead
[04:03] <grumbly> momita: Add your user to the group stated
[04:03] <coz_> ok guys I am going to bed... do well..share what you know...night all
[04:03] <momita> kareeser, even for a network printer?
[04:03] <AlphaOne> ok I did
[04:03] <kareeser> momita: no clue, sorry. :(
[04:04] <ubyserver> I am installing a software via shell and have a full screen of options with missing options that I don't know how to scroll to.
[04:04] <Guest42598> negros
[04:04] <ubyserver> What do I do?
[04:04] <luis_> hello
[04:04] <grumbly> momita: gimme a few minutes to look something uo
[04:04] <kareeser> ubyserver: tab?
[04:04] <momita> kareeser, it was working fine before until the new kernel upgrade
[04:04] <genii> Guest42598: Hm?
[04:04] <Blue1> AlphaOne: look for a heading called shockwave flash
[04:04] <ubyserver> This is not vi or grep |
[04:04] <ubyserver> This is from within an installation with options.
[04:05] <AlphaOne> ok Bluel - I see it, its the first one
[04:05] <wick94> hi guys
[04:05] <ubyserver> 1-50 options and I can only see 20-50
[04:05] <dyrnade> who knows the solution about Aptana Studio's php plug-in problem ?
[04:05] <almoxarife> Blue1: flash, like adobe flash?
[04:05] <wick94> can some1 tell me a program that will let me back up my utube channel
[04:05] <Blue1> AlphaOne: can you paste the one line after the heading...
[04:05] <Blue1> almoxarife: yes
[04:05] <grumbly> momita: have you tried using the previous kernel or did you remove it?
[04:05] <DanDare> Hello. Im a Debian user thinking now to try Ubuntu. It´s Ubuntu reliable for http server ?
[04:05] <almoxarife> Blue1: using ubuntu?
[04:06] <Blue1> AlphaOne: looks like this -- File name:  libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
[04:06] <momita> grumbly,  i havent removed it
[04:06] <AlphaOne> Bluel -     File name: libflashplayer.so
[04:06] <DanDare> Configuration is near as in Debian? Location of files, configuration schemes etc ?
[04:06] <momita> grumbly, i have 4 or 5 kernels there actually
[04:06] <ubyserver> Is there a way to scroll up in SHELL?
[04:06] <wick94> any1 knw a program that lets u backup ur utube channel
[04:06] <dyrnade> who knows the solution about Aptana Studio's php plug-in problem ?
[04:06] <dyrnade> who knows the solution about Aptana Studio's php plug-in problem ?
[04:06] <grumbly> momita: can you boot into the one that worked?
[04:06] <dyrnade> who knows the solution about Aptana Studio's php plug-in problem ?
[04:06] <Blue1> AlphaOne: what version?
[04:06] <FloodBot1> dyrnade: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:06] <momita> grumbly, if you wont miss me too much :)
[04:06] <AlphaOne> Bluel -     Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
[04:06] <tottiq> nice
[04:06] <grumbly> momita: hah!
[04:06] <jiohdi> DanDare: I use both, they are very similar
[04:07] <DanDare> jiohdi, nice
[04:07] <Blue1> AlphaOne: yup that's the latest - are you using firefox?
[04:07] <ubyserver> Question answered
[04:07] <grumbly> momita: before you do, have you looked here: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/printing/C/printing.html
[04:07] <almoxarife> Blue1: you need pack 'adobe flash' unless you want to do it the hard way
[04:07] <ubyserver> SHIFT + PAGEUP
[04:07] <eddym> hey guys how do i fix this E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[04:07] <eddym> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[04:07] <wick94> plz tell me a progrm that will let me backup my utube channel
[04:07] <AlphaOne> Bluel - I use firefox, and Google Chrome, but the problem exists in both.  flash video is playing too skippy and jerky
[04:07] <jiohdi> DanDare: debian does not use the cutting edge because of stability concerns, but otherwise they are definitely family
[04:07] <grumbly> eddym: um... it says what to do...
[04:08] <kostkon> wick94, you could try xVideoServiceThief (http://xviservicethief.sourceforge.net/)
[04:08] <eddym> grumbly, i do that nothing happens
[04:08] <tottiq> eddym, did u use computer janitor?
[04:08] <wick94> eddym, open the terminal and type tht in it
[04:08] <eddym> tottiq, wher is that
[04:08] <Blue1> AlphaOne: from what source?
[04:08] <DanDare> jiohdi, you think Ubuntu would be reliable enought for a dedicated http server ?
[04:08] <tottiq> ok then that's a no
[04:08] <wick94> plz tell me a progrm that will let me backup my utube channel
[04:08] <tottiq> nvm
[04:08] <AlphaOne> Bluel - YouTube, Google Video, Hulu
[04:08] <jiohdi> DanDare: not sure about servers... but what does ubuntu offer different?
[04:08] <AlphaOne> etc.
[04:09] <wick94> plz tell me a progrm that will let me backup my utube channel
[04:09] <almoxarife> wick94: I use 'sbackup' simple and gets the job done
[04:09]  * Blue1 thinks...
[04:09] <erik14213us> how do i mount ide hard drive
[04:09] <luis> hello
[04:09] <Dr_Willis> !mount | erik14213us
[04:09] <wick94> almoxarife, can it backup my utube channel
[04:09] <DanDare> jiohdi, i do use zoneminder on this box also.. and everytime i need install new versions it´s a real pain
[04:09] <Blue1> AlphaOne: i am on a 64 bit system....so I have diffrent issues
[04:09] <AlphaOne> Bluel - could it be a driver issue?
[04:09] <erik14213us> type
[04:09] <almoxarife> wick94: doe that channels file reside on your machine?
[04:09] <erik14213us> mount
[04:09] <DanDare> jiohdi, want some multimedia facilities on it also, that´s
[04:09] <Blue1> AlphaOne: yes
[04:09] <jiohdi> DanDare: that means nothing to me, again I dont know much about servers
[04:09] <almoxarife> files
[04:09] <wick94> no
[04:10] <grumbly> DanDare: For server environs, I always stick to what I'm comfortable in... in my case, that means FreeBSD.  If you're used to Debian, I dont expect that Ubuntu would be too hard to get accomidated to, but I dont know all their interesting differences
[04:10] <DanDare> it´s ok, thanks jiohdi
[04:10] <wick94> it's my utube channel so no
[04:10] <dyrnade> who knows the solution about Aptana Studio's php plug-in problem ?
[04:10] <DanDare> grumbly, allright.. well it´s what im going to discover anyway
[04:10] <almoxarife> wick94: not sure then
[04:10] <wick94> ok
[04:10] <Blue1> AlphaOne: what video card do you have?  hint  lspci | grep VGA
[04:10] <grumbly> DanDare: I wish you the best of luck!
[04:10] <wick94> u knw any1 else who might b able to help
[04:10] <DanDare> :D thanks. To you too!
[04:10] <jiohdi> DanDare: an IT guy in jordon once told me of his preferences... he put BSD above linux for security
[04:11] <almoxarife> wick94: google is backing up your channel, aint it?
[04:11] <grumbly> DanDare: I know that Ubuntu is a debian based distro...
[04:11] <wick94> i dont thnk so
[04:11] <DanDare> jiohdi, that´s about truth... BSD is just too much for me
[04:11] <wick94> i need to keep it on my system in case something happens
[04:11] <luis> is BDS hard to install
[04:11] <luis> BSD
[04:12] <erik14213us> geez
[04:12] <grumbly> luis: It is actually quite easy
[04:12] <erik14213us> dont they make program
[04:12] <almoxarife> luis, not as e3asy as ubuntu
[04:12] <erik14213us> for mounting
[04:12] <luis> can you give me a link where a can read from it Grumly
[04:12] <Blue1> AlphaOne: how is that going?
[04:12] <AlphaOne> Bluel - VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M
[04:13] <grumbly> almoxarife: no, but almost nothing except windows, OS X, and a mitten full of linux distros are
[04:13] <Blue1> AlphaOne: okay ati -- let me see what I have on my suse system - that has an ati card brb
[04:13] <AlphaOne> ok
[04:13] <erik14213us> i guess
[04:13] <erik14213us> not
[04:13] <luis> whats the diference between ubuntu and BSD
[04:13] <dinosaurvskitten> any recommendations for a simple video editor? I just need to line audio up with video and compress them down to something uploadable to youtube... I tried kino but it's pretty bad (slow, bad ui), and I don't feel like messing around with mencoder options for aeons.
[04:13] <almoxarife> luis, ubuntu is easier
[04:13] <grumbly> luis: their fundamental philosophies...
[04:13] <erik14213us> most programmers to stupid to write program for newbies
[04:13] <greezmunkey> ALL: What can I run to determine if a device has been given an IP address via dhcpd? A log file maybe??
[04:14] <luis> ok so i should keep my self focus on ubuntu
[04:14] <almoxarife> luis, yes
[04:14] <DanDare> kuis, BSD is focused on security.. even ls outputs are encrypted (i believe)
[04:14] <zac__> wait who was i pming recently? i was like guest something
[04:14] <erik14213us> but thats how linux is
[04:14] <kostkon> dinosaurvskitten, openshot http://www.openshotvideo.com/
[04:14] <John-_> How do I get the toolbar to appear in xchat?
[04:15] <grumbly> Linux is a Kernel.  Ubuntu is a distribution... together, they form the operating system you know as Ubuntu.  FreeBSD is the OS.  Everything, from kernel to apps, is maintained by FreeBSD.
[04:15] <luis> ok thanks guys
[04:15] <almoxarife> !xchat
[04:15] <grumbly> DanDare: only openBSD is that secure by default.
[04:15] <dinosaurvskitten> kostkon, looks good, I'll give it a try. Thanks!
[04:16] <grumbly> anyhow, this isnt a bsd channel...
[04:16] <zac__> who was i pming recently it was like reese something
[04:16] <jiohdi> BSD is very very close to Unix
[04:16] <Blue1> AlphaOne: I am using an old driver on suse
[04:16] <almoxarife> ubuntu is better than bsd :)
[04:16] <grumbly> DanDare: if you are confident in your knowledge of linux and nix in general, I would say go for the Ubuntu Server jump
[04:16] <AlphaOne> bluel - hmmm, what should I do?
[04:16] <almoxarife> jesus
[04:16] <AlphaOne> Bluel - do I not have the proper driver installed?
[04:17] <Blue1> AlphaOne: thinking
[04:17] <AlphaOne> :-\
[04:17] <DanDare> grumbly, hey, i wasnt thinking of it, thanks !
[04:17] <grumbly> jiohdi: that's a bold and blanket statement.  Its like saying every canadian is basically a US Citizen...
[04:18] <DanDare> Ubuntu says it´s installing... but dont asked me if i prefer a minimal system etc etc.. it just installs that bunch of things by default ?
[04:18] <grumbly> jiohdi: which is true... darn tax dodgers
[04:18] <kostkon> DanDare, yeap
[04:18] <grumbly> DanDare: yep.
[04:18] <jiohdi> grumbly: from what I have read... BSD is a version of unix basically
[04:18] <AK|laptop> Guys, I need webcam support for the MSN protocol, and it's not working for me with aMSN. Is there ANY other program out there that will let me use my webcam with a Windows Live Messenger user? Alternately, can I do so with Yahoo on any software?
[04:18] <DanDare> On Ubuntu Server i can have more options on instalation ?
[04:18] <tottiq> emesene?
[04:19] <tottiq> try emesene
[04:19] <Blue1> AlphaOne: look at this:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI/
[04:19] <kostkon> +1 for emesene
[04:19] <luis> is there a way to access your msm or yahoo account on terminal
[04:19] <kareeser> AK|laptop: you probably need the latest version though.. trunk.
[04:19] <kareeser> AK|laptop: the one on the repos won't do much... I think.
[04:19] <YeTr2> `run cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "MHz"
[04:19] <Blue1> luis alpine
[04:19] <AK|laptop> The description for emesene says it doesn't support webcams.
[04:20] <AK|laptop> And I will check aMSN versions...
[04:20] <luis> ok Blues1
[04:20] <kostkon> AK|laptop, the latest version of it does support webcams
[04:20] <AK|laptop> kostkon: Is that version in the repos?
[04:20] <kareeser> AK|laptop: not in the repos, it won't... I said download the latest version :)
[04:20] <kostkon> AK|laptop, don't think so :/
[04:20] <AK|laptop> k...
[04:21] <AlphaOne> Bluel - I'll look into it, thanks, I gotta hit the sack
[04:21] <AlphaOne> thank you :-)
[04:21] <Blue1> AlphaOne: best I can do --
[04:21] <AlphaOne> wai
[04:21] <luis> is alpine good
[04:21] <AlphaOne> bluel - videos on my hard drive play fine though
[04:21] <AlphaOne> bluel - does that change anything or give you any insight?
[04:22] <Blue1> AlphaOne: yes
[04:22] <Blue1> AlphaOne: private message ok?
[04:22] <AlphaOne> bluel - ok :-)
[04:23] <zac__> Hi i need help restoring my video configuration I screwed it up and now i can only boot into low graphics
[04:23] <grumbly> jiohdi: So is linux.  one is based on System V the other is based on SCO
[04:23] <kareeser> zac__: what did you do?
[04:23] <kostkon> AK|laptop, oh, it seems the version on the karmic repo (1.5) supports webcams
[04:24]  * extor *CrIcKeTs cHiRPiNg*
[04:24] <phoul> whats the nae of the config thing for compiz in ubuntu now
[04:24] <samuel_> hey every1
[04:24] <kareeser> phoul: compizconfig-settings-manager
[04:24] <phoul> apt-cache search compiz returns nothing configuration related
[04:24] <phoul> hrm
[04:24] <AK|laptop> kostkon: Thank you. I'll try it.
[04:24] <zac__> There we are
[04:24] <phoul> package cannot be sound for that
[04:24] <phoul> =\
[04:24] <greezmunkey> phoul: System/Preferences/Compiz Config...
[04:25] <semitones_> is /etc/samba/smb.conf still use for configuring samba?
[04:25] <kareeser> phoul: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[04:25] <kareeser> phoul: it's definitely in the repos
[04:25] <phoul> 9.10
[04:25] <greezmunkey> semitones_, yes
[04:25] <almoxarife> I have found 'vlc' the simple solution to 'webcam' issues, works, that's what I want, I load it thru 'synaptic too, none of this complicated terminal stuff for me
[04:25] <grumbly> jiohdi: there's a bunch of different unix variants... SCO, BSD, IRIX, HP-UX, and so on....
[04:25] <samuel_> i know this is not the place, but any1 knows how the raw irc protocol is implemented?
[04:25] <AK|laptop> Woohooooo, installing the latest version of aMSN from the site broke it. Now to try emesene.
[04:25] <semitones_> greezmunkey: thanks, much obliged
[04:26] <luis> how good is alpine
[04:26] <jiohdi> grumbly: for us noobs they are all alike
[04:27] <samuel_> ill take that as a no...
[04:27] <grumbly> jiohdi: even for non-noobs, they're all pretty similar... each one has its own perks and downfalls...
[04:27] <jiohdi> grumbly: I am installing pc bsd in virtual box as we speak... like to see what it looks like
[04:27] <samuel_> bsd rox:P
[04:27] <almoxarife> this noob only believes in ubuntu thus far
[04:27] <grumbly> jiohdi: it looks like KDE
[04:28] <jiohdi> grumbly: which version
[04:28] <w3rd_> hey guys im using jaunty, i would like to use the command add-apt-X how do i install this on 9.04??
[04:28] <grumbly> almoxarife: that has been made ubundantly clear... and close-mindedness is the downfall of all good people...
[04:28] <martianixor> hi, this is karmic, tried to do SVG import in Skencil, and it told me that I need python-xml, is it removed ?
[04:28] <grumbly> jiohdi: last I used, it was kde3
[04:28] <grumbly> but that was a while back
[04:28] <samuel_> ubuntu actually is the transitional os 4 linux noobs
[04:28] <pyr0path> iim having a problem with trying to install some wireless drivers in 9.10. hows come i am unable to use the make command?
[04:28] <martianixor> I believe it has affected the same SVG thing in blender too
[04:28] <AK|laptop> kostkon: Nope! That doesn't work either. It tells me that I don't have libmimic so I can't use the webcam. It EVEN tells me this after I install the libmimic0 package!
[04:29] <jiohdi> grumbly: kde3 was very similar to gnome, but 4 is a world of difference
[04:29] <kareeser> pyr0path: because you haven't installed it yet :)
[04:29] <grumbly> jiohdi: kde3 was not at all similar to gnome...
[04:29] <martianixor> what am I missing?
[04:29] <kareeser> pyr0path: I believe the package "build-essential" will installing it
[04:29] <samuel_> jiohdi id like 2 c
[04:29] <jiohdi> grumbly in what way?
[04:29] <martianixor> thanks in Advance
[04:29] <pyr0path> kareeser, mind if i pm you?
[04:29] <kareeser> nope
[04:30] <frontendloader> what does the ppa: notation mean I can do with it
[04:30] <frontendloader> how would I add a ppa: source to my sources?
[04:30] <grumbly> um... its only similarities are that it is a window manager and has a bunch of gui apps...
[04:30] <kareeser> it means you can add it to software sources
[04:30] <kostkon> AK|laptop, you need to install the python-libmimic package, because emesene is a python app, not a c/c++ one
[04:30] <kareeser> just like a deb or deb-src line
[04:30] <almoxarife> grumbly: perhaps, but I accept the narrowness of the path called #ubuntu, I have been to #linux on undernet, I believe we have said more here about linux than I ever saw there, call me close minded
[04:30] <kareeser> except you don't need to verify the source with a key
[04:30] <AK|laptop> ah
[04:30] <jiohdi> grumbly: compared to 4 it was very similar... 4 is completely different
[04:30]  * iflema :)
[04:31] <grumbly> jiohdi: you MUST be on some sort of hallucenogen that I would like to be taking
[04:31] <frontendloader> so I can just sudo echo deb ppa:foo/bar >> /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[04:31] <ardchoille> frontendloader: no
[04:31] <kareeser> I'd use software sources.
[04:31] <kostkon> martianixor, try installing the python-lxml package
[04:31] <ardchoille> !ppa
[04:31] <frontendloader> ardchoille: care to elaborate?
[04:31] <Ziggyzxxyl> how do I format a floppy disk?
[04:31] <grumbly> almoxarife: indeed that would be true
[04:32] <martianixor> kostkon: kostkon No candidate version
[04:32] <almoxarife> frontendloader: I use 'ubuntu tweak' to load ppa's, they may not all be there, but it's a gui and its easy
[04:32] <martianixor> where's the bot?
[04:32] <kostkon> hmm strange
[04:32] <Ziggyzxxyl> !floppy
[04:32] <martianixor> ubottu: python-xml
[04:32] <kostkon> !info python-lxml karmic
[04:32] <martianixor> !python-xml
[04:32] <grumbly> almoxarife: but comments like ubuntu is better than BSD are just ignorant and inflamitory
[04:32] <ardchoille> frontendloader: that command will fail due to the redirection ">>". The proper way to do that is: echo "blah" | sudo tee -a /path/file  but there is an easier way to add PPA's
[04:32] <jiohdi> grumbly: I use debian on an old machine and it only allowed kde3.5 but when I tried kde4 on ubuntu it was 4... which is completely different than 3.5, which was very much like gnome
[04:32] <martianixor> kostkon: thanks
[04:32] <ardchoille> !ppa | frontendloader
[04:33] <kostkon> martianixor, did you manage to install it?
[04:33] <martianixor> kostkon: how !!! It tells me No Candidate Version
[04:33] <grumbly> jiohdi: I dont agree, but whatever.  They have similarities, but not many.  Have you used LXDE?
[04:33] <almoxarife> grumbly: perhaps, if I was on the BSD channel, I walk the narrow path, I know my station in life
[04:33] <AK|laptop> kostkon: As far as I can tell, that did it. My contact needs to come back from being afk before I can tell for certain, but it's sending the requests okay. Thanks a lot.
[04:33] <almoxarife> is ubuntu tweak safe?
[04:34] <jiohdi> grumbly, I have used a lot of them... gnome, kde, lxde, icewm, even openbox and twm
[04:34] <kostkon> AK|laptop, :)
[04:34] <grumbly> jiohdi: I like LXDE... i think it will be pretty phenomenal when it gets to be a bit more mature
[04:34] <arand> frontendloader: Use either add-apt-repository "ppa-notation" or paste the ppa line in software centre "other"
[04:34] <`mOOse`> xfce ftw
[04:34] <ardchoille> almoxarife: I haven't seen anything to suggest it isn't
[04:34] <Ziggyzxxyl> how do I format a floppy disk?
[04:35] <arand> frontendloader: correction software sources
[04:35] <jiohdi> grumbly, I find icewm to be extremely useful on older machines
[04:35] <grumbly> eh... XFCE WAS good... now its a little... cumbersome (not bloated or over done)...
[04:35] <jiohdi> but lxde is good
[04:35] <kostkon> martianixor, strange. open a terminal and give: apt-cache policy python-lxml  what do you get?
[04:35] <momita> grumbly, hmm i think i found the problem
[04:35] <jiohdi> xfce was cranky and after every tenth boot or so, I would lose my panels
[04:35] <DanDare> Ziggyzxxyl: mkfs.vfat /dev/fd0
[04:35] <martianixor> kostkon: I have python-lxml installed
[04:35] <kostkon> martianixor, oh
[04:35] <grumbly> jiohdi: LXDE/openbox didnt do it for you?  It was grooving well and good on an ancient p2 i have
[04:36] <JoeSomebody> kareeser you still around?
[04:36] <`mOOse`> I don't have similar experience with it - I really enjoy xubuntu
[04:36] <jiohdi> grumbly, that is a very good combo for old machines, but I added some memory and so I am just using gnome again
[04:36] <kareeser> JoeSomebody: yes...
[04:36] <greezmunkey> Question regarding sharing wired Ethernet connection in Network Mgr: Is the default IP Network configurable, it currently is using 10.42.43.0/24 Interface IP X.X.X.1
[04:36] <kareeser> JoeSomebody: pm me
[04:36] <martianixor> kostkon: Oh wait I need to execute that cache command
[04:36] <grumbly> momita: good! remember what it is, and how you are to fix it, then share it with some other shmoe with the same problem
[04:36] <martianixor> kostkon: Oh not really
[04:36] <momita> grumbly, i have some professional fonts installed in .fonts like Adobe Garamond Pro, it is detected by Abiword, not OpenOffice, but I do not use OPenOffice usually
[04:36] <|604|> kubuntu channel is dead, so i have a question, i am trying to install firefox, and its telling me all the components or what ever have been installed, but when ever is earch for it on my pc all i find is the installer :/ ???
[04:36] <grumbly> jiohdi: hahah! cheater!
[04:36] <martianixor> kostkon: but I have it installed
[04:37] <grumbly> momita: is there a question somewhere?
[04:37] <momita> grumbly, so when i printed a document with Adobe garamond pro it hit "stop"
[04:37] <kostkon> martianixor, oh you are right. there isn't really a version of python-xml for karmic on the repos http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python-xml&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
[04:37] <jiohdi> grumbly, its hard to find memory for old compaqs :)
[04:37] <grumbly> jiohdi: nah... just go to yardsales and ebay
[04:37] <momita> grumbly, when i tried it with my sudo user it did not have those fonts installed
[04:37] <kareeser> jiohdi: I have an AMD k6 era compaq...
[04:37] <martianixor> kostkon: Oh dear .....
[04:38] <almoxarife> ardchoille: I got started on linux on ubuntu, tried figuring it out first with DSL, since then I have not seen anything that I can't do in ubuntu when it comes to doing linux stuff, its not shilling its practical experience
[04:38] <kareeser> jiohdi: want some of that ram?
[04:38] <`mOOse`> |604| - have you looked in /home/.firefox?
[04:38] <EMABrad> So, I'm installing Eeebuntu on my friend's netbook.  She wants XP Pro on it as well, but doesn't have the CD yet.  She'll have it soon, but wants Eeebuntu now, so I'm partitioning the hard drive using the Eeebuntu installer, which, as far as I know, is the same installer as Ubuntu.  I choose "Specify partitions manually", and have a few questions as to how exactly to set the partitions up.
[04:38] <grumbly> momita: OH!!! that's the issue you had... oh...
[04:38] <jiohdi> grumbly, I think I have installed about a dozen times so far on that old machine until I got it where it wants me
[04:38] <momita> grumbly, so i dont know why it crashed . . .
[04:38] <kareeser> EMABrad: go on... we'll try our best to help
[04:38] <marcos_> boa noite a todos
[04:38] <DanDare> How do i set root password in Ubuntu
[04:38] <momita> grumbly, i just know it had to do with the fonts
[04:38] <jiohdi> kareeser: nope, thanks, anyways... but I got enough and its working
[04:38] <marcos_> alguem ai fala portugues
[04:38] <ardchoille> kostasuse: apt-cache search python | grep xml  ?
[04:38] <marcos_> ?
[04:38] <DanDare> In the user configuration root is grayed out
[04:38] <grumbly> momita: did you fix it?
[04:39] <martianixor> kostkon: I'm unable to think I was busy with a project..., any suggestions for how to resolve that SVG import issue due to the missing python-xml?
[04:39] <|604|> kubuntu channel is dead, so i have a question, i am trying to install firefox, and its telling me all the components or what ever have been installed, but when ever is earch for it on my pc all i find is the installer :/ ???
[04:39] <ardchoille> almoxarife: I agree totally :)
[04:39] <kareeser> DanDare: it's not recommended you do that
[04:39] <kareeser> DanDare: do you still wish to know?
[04:39] <momita> grumbly, well not really . . . if someone selects one of those fonts that appear in abiword it will get the same error
[04:39] <ardchoille> kostkon:  apt-cache search python | grep xml  ?
[04:39] <almoxarife> but I admit to being the linux noob who will hunt down a gui for problem solving, call me cheap that way ardchoille :)
[04:39] <DanDare> kareeser, yeah i wish to know :)
[04:39] <ardchoille> hehe
[04:39] <kostkon> martianixor, you could try installing the version from jaunty (http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/python-xml) although i am not really sure it that's the best solution
[04:39] <momita> momita, i guess i will have to put the slow open office instead?
[04:39] <EMABrad> We're wanting to dual boot, but also have a shared partition (probably fat32) that has all of her documents and stuff like that.  We've got all the sizes mapped out, so we don't need help with that.
[04:40] <grumbly> momita: have you tried reinstalling the fonts?
[04:40] <kareeser> DanDare: if you get compromised, don't come crying to us :P
[04:40] <EMABrad> Is fat32 the best format for this partition?
[04:40] <kareeser> DanDare: sudo passwd
[04:40] <grumbly> momita: maybe they're not installed properly?
[04:40] <momita> grumbly, fc-cache -f -v?
[04:40] <ardchoille> kostkon , martianixor do not mix release packages like that, it causes more problems
[04:40] <kareeser> EMABrad: ntfs
[04:40] <martianixor> kostkon: this sounds like what I was thinking, that I'll install it from source
[04:40] <martianixor> ardchoille: yeah I know, I wouldn't do it
[04:40] <kareeser> EMABrad: fat32 or fat16 are nice and compatible, but old... very old.
[04:40] <martianixor> ardchoille: thanks :-)
[04:40] <ardchoille> yw
[04:40] <grumbly> momita: or if they're from a package, try using apt/synaptic
[04:40] <DanDare> kareeser, sudo pawwd changes passwd for current user
[04:40] <Ziggyzxxyl> DanDare: nothing happened.
[04:41] <momita> grumbly, how could they not be installed properly?  you just copy them into .font directory
[04:41] <EMABrad> Eeebuntu reads NTFS fine?
[04:41] <Blue1> EMABrad: yes sir
[04:41] <`mOOse`> EMABrad - it's recommended that you install the MS os first then the linux distro - that way grub (the bootloader) knows what to do with the windows install - if you do it the other way, it's more work
[04:41] <DanDare> kareeser, oh now sorry, ill try this way
[04:41] <martianixor> kostkon: thank you so much :-)
[04:41] <grumbly> momita: I dont know- but maybe one of the programs doesn't read the fonts from that place- maybe there's some symlinks missing... not sure
[04:41] <DanDare> Ziggyzxxyl, chech on /etc/fstab if /dev/fd0 is really your floppy drive.. or if it point to another direction
[04:42] <EMABrad> Well, as of right now, her computer isn't operational, and she needs it, but won't have the Windows CD until next weekend, so we figured this was the best option.
[04:42] <grumbly> i dont do word processing on my netbook which is all I have running ubuntu
[04:42] <Ziggyzxxyl> DanDare: fd0 is floppy drive. the drive light came on for a second then went out. Can't mount the floppy disk or detect any media in drive.
[04:42] <kareeser> EMABrad: there are ways to get the grub bootloader back
[04:42] <DanDare> Ziggyzxxyl, Ubuntu dont have a graphical form to format an diskette? On KDE ?
[04:42] <kareeser> EMABrad: don't worry too much about that
[04:42] <martianixor> kostkon: I'll try to find a solution before Sunrise, in order to not get burned due to the fact that I'm a vampire right now
[04:42] <kostkon> martianixor, it seems python-xml gets broken with python 2.6 that's why is missing from the karmic and lucid repos
[04:42] <archboxman> grumbly: are you wine???
[04:42] <martianixor> kostkon: yeah, launchpad?
[04:42] <kostkon> martianixor, here is the bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-xml/+bug/343242
[04:42] <grumbly> archboxman: huh?  i dont understand...
[04:42] <kareeser> archboxman: grumbly's a chardonnay
[04:43] <martianixor> kostkon: yes that's where I landed
[04:43] <grumbly> archboxman: I am a sassy whisky
[04:43] <momita> grumbly, well let me try xelatex to see if it works with a pro font
[04:43] <archboxman> cant read font???
[04:43] <almoxarife> serious question, as a wubi user I have seen ubuntu grub2 crash on me three times this far, I mean no way to get the root.disk to work properly after what seems to be kernel upgrades, any one seeing the same thing?
[04:43] <DELmE> yo, can any of you help me with my wireless?
[04:43] <EMABrad> When I'm selecting the partition to put Eeebuntu on, what format should this be?  Ext3 or Ext4?
[04:43] <grumbly> momita: OH wow... I totally misread that...
[04:43] <almoxarife> noob and wubi, that's right
[04:44] <archboxman> grumbly: happy you drink liquor sorry I got the Caption Morgan out front.lol
[04:44] <grumbly> momita: maybe you should look into the respective word processor documentation and see if there's an extra step that you need
[04:44] <Logicwax> anyone here an expert on dmraid?

[04:44] <magn3ts> ek, sorry
[04:44] <EMABrad> Also, I figure that the Eeebuntu partition should be "Primary".  Am I right?
[04:45] <EMABrad> Should the type for the storage partition be "Logical"?
[04:45] <grumbly> archboxman: I prefer a good strong Meyers drink or a sailor jerry... Cap'n Mo just doesn't have the gonads... but the select(?) ones are pretty good... the parrot bay can bite the dirty side of my incontenent aunt's diapers though
[04:45] <DELmE> anyone? Because I have recently re-loaded ubuntu 9.10 on my computer and I have installed all the needed drivers for my wireless card but when I click on the network it doesn't connect, then sometimes it will randomly connect fine. But thats like 1/100
[04:46] <grumbly> DELmE: have you tried a different network manager?
[04:46] <DELmE> yea
[04:46] <Danbo19> Hello everyone, I'm busy toubleshooting my girlfriend's parents' laptop, but the problem is that windows 7 is refusing to boot after I installed Mint a couple months ago, is this the appropriate place for suck a question?
[04:46] <archboxman> grumbly: I drink Sailor Jerry seems the reciepe has changed almost tastes like Capt Morgan anymore :(
[04:46] <almoxarife> DELmE: can you connect to the internet once via ethernet?
[04:46] <DELmE> i tried wicd
[04:46] <Semitones> what's faster -- sending files over a LAN with scp, or with samba?
[04:46] <DELmE> yea im connected via ethernet now
[04:46] <DanDare> What cames with Ubuntu isnt KDE ?
[04:46] <grumbly> DELmE: is it an NDIS card?
[04:47] <grumbly> DanDare: Gnome
[04:47] <Blue1> Semitones pretty much equal - depends on file systems
[04:47] <DanDare> Oh snap, thanks grumbly
[04:47] <DELmE> its a NETGEAR card, im not sure wich one
[04:47] <Semitones> Blue1, thanks -- in that case, scp is much easier :P
[04:47] <grumbly> semitones: i find SCP to be slower
[04:47] <almoxarife> DELmE: wifi is via ?
[04:47] <grumbly>  DanDare: no problem
[04:47] <archboxman> DELmE: lspci -nnk
[04:47] <DELmE> ndiswrapper
[04:47] <Semitones> grumbly, hmm because of the encryption maybe
[04:47] <Ziggyzxxyl> I need to write some files to a floppy disk. I have 3 computers with floppy drives running ubuntu, and none of them will mount any floppy disk I put in their drives... they all just say can't mount and no media in the drive... no matter which floppy disk I put in it - formatted/unformatted/disks with files on it, etc.. Do I need to install Windows on a machine just to put files onto a floppy?
[04:47] <DELmE> im picking up the wifi but it just wont connect
[04:47] <iflema> EMABrad  ext3 or ext4, both will work.... take ya pick..... doesnt have to be on primary partitions.... the thing there is you only get four primary or three plus logical partitions......
[04:48] <almoxarife> DELmE: connect to?
[04:48] <Predaking> anyone know how to stop overscan on nVidia ION? my TV is chopping about 100px on all 4 edges
[04:48] <psycho_oreos> DELmE, pastebin your lspci -nnk output
[04:48] <grumbly> Ziggyzxxyl: have you tried DDing to the drives?
[04:48] <Blue1> Semitones samba is much better today then in the past

[04:50] <martianixor> jiohdi: that's me too ...
[04:50] <Ziggyzxxyl> grumbly: I see
[04:50] <grumbly> jiohdi: either way...
[04:50] <EMABrad> What do I set as the mount point?
[04:50] <martianixor> jiohdi: but also, Dungeons & Dragons
[04:50] <jiohdi> Ziggyzxxyl: its a command like program that lets you get everything off a disk and create an iso file
[04:50] <jiohdi> martianixor: thats DnD or D&D :)
[04:51] <grumbly> Ziggyzxxyl: are you trying to write to the disk or read from the disk?
[04:51] <Danbo19> So... um... Windows 7 question? I'm pretty sure the issue was that I installed Mint, but I don't know if this is the right place to ask...
[04:51] <DanDare> I will try 'pt-get purge gno*'
[04:51] <DanDare> to see what happens
[04:51] <martianixor> jiohdi: hahaha yes thanks :-)
[04:51] <Ziggyzxxyl> grumbly: I am trying to format a floppy and write files to the floppy

[04:52] <LSD|Ninja> Is ldconfig recursive? As in, if I were to create a directory in /usr/lib32 and dump some libs in there, will they get put into the ld.so.cache? I need to inject some 32 bit libs in there, but want to seperate them from what ia32-libs installs/maintains

[04:52] <DanDare> *Thi Ubuntu on this VM is not to late much... i guess
[04:52] <iflema> EMABrad are you going through the installer now?
[04:53] <igie> Hi, my ubuntu 9.04 is acting strange, file manager is not responding, all icons on the desktop have disappeared and there is no internet access, I am using a live cd to be here right now, anyone know how i can fix this?
[04:53] <psycho_oreos> DELmE, its probably to do with missing extra files, check dmesg
[04:53] <DanDare> doing that apt purge i will free 1,1Gb of space, sounds good :)
[04:53] <DanDare> and then will try installing xfce4
[04:53] <AK|laptop> kostkon: Nope. Emesene isn't working. It's giving me the same problem I have with aMSN. *frustrated*
[04:53] <DELmE> psycho: how do i do that? lol, im still pretty new to linux
[04:53] <kostkon> AK|laptop, :/
[04:53]  * martianixor staring ...
[04:54] <jiohdi> igie: anything you need to worry about file wise? if not, re-installing is just a half hour away
[04:54]  * martianixor hypnotized
[04:54] <DanDare> note: im doing this on X running Gnome... excited right now
[04:54] <archboxman> igie: restart computer sounds like gnome did load
[04:54] <con-man> anyone know why I would have stupid amounts of lag using wine with wow in opengl mode with all the settings at the lowest?  I have an nVidia 275ftw
[04:54] <AK|laptop> Yo, guys. On Karmic, why is it that with both aMSN and emesene, I can neither send nor receive webcams?
[04:54] <igie> jiohdi: thats my last option.
[04:54] <|604|> how do i find out basic system information in kubuntu? [cpu, ram, video etc]...kubuntu channel is inactive
[04:54] <psycho_oreos> DELmE, pastebin your dmesg output
[04:55] <DELmE> ok
[04:55] <igie> archboxman: i've restarted at least 10 times and its the same deal...
[04:55] <jiohdi> igie, I have crashed so many systems since I began with linux its just second nature to me :)
[04:55] <AK|laptop> I know my webcam works because Cheese displays it just fine. I know my friend's cam works fine. So WHY can't I send or receive the data? :(
[04:55] <archboxman> igie:  look at your dmesg file something didn't load
[04:55] <igie> archboxman: i've even tried using synaptic, but its pointless because i have no internet :S
[04:55] <jiohdi> igie, it helps to have a 16gig flash drive for back ups :)
[04:55] <EMABrad> My internet connection was erroneous.  What do I set as the mount point?
[04:55] <jiohdi> I have even crashed that :)
[04:56] <iflema> EMABrad are you going through the installer now?
[04:56] <DELmE> psycho_oreos:http://paste.ubuntu.com/380143/
[04:56] <igie> jiohdi: i know the feeling, but i want to figure this one out...
[04:56] <archboxman> jiohdi: burn to dvd important files
[04:56] <jiohdi> archboxman: yah :)
[04:56] <DanDare> EMABrad, im not sure.. im not sure if internet have mount points. What´s the problem ?
[04:56]  * martianixor day dreaming
[04:56] <EMABrad> Yeah, I'm going through it on a separate computer.
[04:56] <igie> archboxman: i would't know what I was looking for in the dmesg file... hell, i don't even know where to find that file.
[04:57] <grumbly> huh... my suspend isnt working
[04:57] <grumbly> no suspend on close
[04:57] <EMABrad> DanDare: I'm installing Eeebuntu on a different computer, but got disconnected from the internet briefly on this one.
[04:57] <grumbly> :(
[04:57] <iflema> EMABrad if you have made only one partioton... the mount point is /
[04:57] <psycho_oreos> DELmE, try this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/marvell-88w8335-chipset-netgear-wg311-pcicard-driver/
[04:57] <kareeser> grumbly: what happens when you try "sudo pm-suspend"? try it in a terminal
[04:57] <EMABrad> And if I intend to create more partitions in the future?
[04:57] <igie> archboxman: I've tried re-installing nautilus, and that doesn't fix it, and well, i can't really change much because i have no internet :(
[04:57] <archboxman> igie: locate dmesg then use text editor to read file it should say somewhere towards the boot you install failed listing problems
[04:58] <grumbly> it suspends
[04:58] <DELmE> ok, trying now, thanks. . I think its the same driver I'm using though
[04:58] <archboxman> igie: gnome failed or xserver...
[04:58] <archboxman> igie: I lean toward gnome because graphics loaded
[04:58] <grumbly> kareeser: but no suspend on close
[04:59] <kareeser> grumbly: laptop lid close?
[04:59] <igie> archboxman: when I looked in synaptic, gnome is not something that has the ubuntu logo next to it, and it doesn't seem to ever have been installed on my box.
[04:59] <grumbly> kareeser: yeh
[04:59] <EMABrad> Should I do a different mount point if I intend to install XP in the future?
[04:59] <archboxman> igie: using what kde or windows mananger
[05:00] <kareeser> what's the option set for "When laptop lid is closed" under "System -> Preferences -> Power"?
[05:00] <kareeser> grumbly:
[05:00] <igie> archboxman: windows manager I believe.... the one out of the box.... I've only ever messed around with kde on openSuse
[05:00] <archboxman> igie: fluxbox
[05:01] <magn3ts> Can someone confirm that the find | cpio command on this page is accurate: http://tinyurl.com/ybhwogg ? Specifically, should it be executed as root? Would an alternative like unison or rsync be a better choice. I'd like to preserve ^all file attributes^.
[05:01] <iflema> EMABrad i suggest installing XP on the first partition...... up front the install ya linux after...... and no the mount point is still /
[05:01] <grumbly> kareeser: suspend
[05:01] <igie> archboxman: what's fluxbox?
[05:01] <archboxman> igie: ok sorry Im 100% a gnome user :)
[05:01] <kareeser> grumbly: and it works in windows (ie. not a physical problem)?
[05:01] <kareeser> grumbly: if so, it may be time for a bug report.
[05:01] <grumbly> kareeser: dunno... never use windows on this netbook
[05:01] <DELmE> psycho_oreos: I get an error when I try to execute a make command with the files you gave me: http://paste.ubuntu.com/380148/
[05:01] <archboxman> igie: http://xwinman.org/
[05:01] <grumbly> kareeser: it worked before I hosed the system last week
[05:02] <igie> archboxman: so is fluxbox what ubuntu uses as its file manager ?
[05:02] <EMABrad> She doesn't have the XP CD yet, but needs to use the computer now, so I'm sort of forced to start the installation with Eeebuntu.
[05:02] <grumbly> kareeser: its a fresh install of karmic, same as previousl
[05:02] <psycho_oreos> DELmE, the guide from the link I posted said nothing about making files
[05:03] <EMABrad> iflema: She doesn't have the XP CD yet, but needs to use the computer now, so I'm sort of forced to start the installation with Eeebuntu.
[05:03] <iflema> EMABrad win xp will complain and youll have to wipe ya linux if there is no naitive window file system on the first partition
[05:03] <DELmE> oh, just assumend i had to. thanks, ill try it again
[05:03] <archboxman> igie: file manager is not your only problem,  It won't load a desktop... kde could have failed during boot up...
[05:03] <chetnick> i installed ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop, i only have bradcom sta driver available for my wifi card. What happened with b43 driver? STA does not support monitor mode. Is there a way to install b43?
[05:03] <psycho_oreos> DELmE, read what it said in the link clearly, it was telling you that you need ndiswrapper and the driver disc
[05:04] <harisund> OK guy, prior to 9.10 when I wanted to edit the network settings I would make changes in /etc/network/interfaces .. that file has nothing now? Where do I set up my eth1 to be static on boot and eth0 to be DHCP?
[05:04] <iflema> EMABrad just format 10 or 20gig+ or whatever on the first partition.... the format the rest for linux
[05:04] <grumbly> any ideas?
[05:04] <EMABrad> So what if I created the Eeebuntu partition at the end of the drive instead of the beginning, keeping unallocated space at the beginning?
[05:04] <psycho_oreos> chetnick, if you have an unsupported broadcom chipset, b43 only supports a handful, you won't get much functionality
[05:04] <kareeser> EMABrad: sure. it doesn't matter, Windows will wipe out the boot manager anyways
[05:04] <archboxman> igie: I dont use kde so I'm not going to talk about a desktop I dont use ... sorry :)
[05:05] <chetnick> psycho_oreos: i used it on 9.04...
[05:05] <igie> archboxman: so i take it kde is what ubuntu uses out of the box ?
[05:05] <psycho_oreos> chetnick, pastebin your lspci -nnk output
[05:05] <Luke_> i still can't get Ubuntu to boot after instalation
[05:05] <archboxman> igie: no just a choice like some many other distro's
[05:05] <chetnick> psycho_oreos: what i'm saying is in 9.04 i got to choose between STA nad b43, in 9.10 only STA is available.
[05:05] <NewWorld> igie:  No, default desktop env is GNOME
[05:05] <EMABrad> kareeser: By "wiping out the boot manager", what exactly do you mean?  Am I not going to be able to boot Eeebuntu after I install XP if I'd installed Eeebuntu first?
[05:06] <psycho_oreos> chetnick, I'm waiting on your lspci -nnk output in pastebin
[05:06] <archboxman> igie: http://distrowatch.com/
[05:06] <iflema> EMABrad best not to leave a gap if ya follow me...... just format the first partion big enough and of a native file system type e.g. ntfs.... and use the rest for linux and a partition twice the size of ya ram for swap space
[05:06] <kareeser> EMABrad: nope... BUT you can fix it. and keep all of your data
[05:06] <NewWorld> EMABrad:  Yeah, though that's fixable through the Ubuntu Live CD
[05:06] <Luke_> does anybody know how to skip the graphics detection in GRUB menu
[05:06] <archboxman> igie: I have used about 15+ distro's there all different..
[05:06] <kareeser> EMABrad:  see this article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[05:07] <igie> archboxman: according to NewWorld: i'm running gnome, because i didn't change the desktop environment :s
[05:07] <chetnick> psycho_oreos: http://pastebin.com/m6291ed0d
[05:07] <NewWorld> igie:  Ubuntu uses GNOME. KUbuntu KDE, XUbuntu XFCE
[05:07] <magn3ts> Can someone confirm that the find | cpio command on this page is accurate: http://tinyurl.com/ybhwogg ? Specifically, should it be executed as root? Would an alternative like unison or rsync be a better choice. I'd like to preserve ^all file attributes^.
[05:08] <chetnick> psycho_oreos: or did you need whole output?
[05:08] <harisund> Hey guys how do I setup static net connection? Do I edit /etc/network/interfaces again?
[05:08] <psycho_oreos> chetnick, that chipset isn't supported natively with ubuntu yet, you need bleeding edge kernel and the driver is still very much WIP
[05:08] <psycho_oreos> chetnick, no that output is fine
[05:08] <psycho_oreos> chetnick, wait
[05:08] <kareeser> harisund: something wrong with nm-applet?
[05:08]  * B|aSS is away: Yeah dude, Im Away!
[05:08] <archboxman> igie: I would say reinstall,but you need to backup your data in /home folder first :)
[05:08] <psycho_oreos> chetnick, misread,
[05:08] <greezmunkey> harisund, are you using NetworkManager?
[05:08] <chetnick> psycho_oreos: how come it was supported in 9.04?
[05:08] <harisund> kareeser: I don't use a GUI
[05:08] <harisund> greezmunkey: no
[05:08] <kareeser> harisund: ick.
[05:08] <kareeser> harisund: not my forte, sorry :)
[05:08] <EMABrad> kareeser: Thanks, I'll take a look at that.
[05:09] <theadmin> How do i view the current UNIX time?
[05:09] <greezmunkey> harisund, edit /etc/network/interfaces...
[05:09] <psycho_oreos> chetnick, no that chip should be supported in 9.10, you could probably go through the b43 manual installation, just make sure you blacklist wl and unload it from modules
[05:09] <harisund> greezmunkey: There's no line for eth0
[05:09] <igie> NewWorld: ok so i'm running gnome, because i didn't change that at all. but now, no icons appear, i have no internet, and anytime i try to open or mount a disk it freezes and when i shut down it says file manager not responding :s
[05:09] <archboxman> igie: if your using a livecd you should be able to burn a copy of /home folder and also copy your bookmarked files in firefox... :)
[05:09] <Luke_> ok i cant get Ubunto to boot for anything, ive tryed every way of installing i could think of, which turned out to be, not so much, i have the images of the kernel freeze when booting  please help
[05:09] <EMABrad> iflema: So when XP installs, does it need a partition already made out for it, or can it create a partition out of unallocated space?
[05:10] <harisund> greezmunkey: Once upon a time /etc/network/interfaces used to have auto eth0 followed by "iface eth0 inet dhcp" or something like that. No longer there ..
[05:10] <chetnick> psycho_oreos: damn, i have to do it manually, i wonder why is not available any more through restricted drivers. Its only STA there now.
[05:10] <NewWorld> igie:  is this a fresh install?
[05:10] <archboxman> NewWorld: wants to troubleshoot the old system..
[05:11] <NewWorld> archboxman:  who?
[05:11] <psycho_oreos> chetnick, it might be a bit of a bug with the restricted drivers I think. there's another variant with that same chipset but it isn't supported in any standard ubuntu kernel, its bcm4312 b/g (14e4:4315)
[05:11] <greezmunkey> harisund, I can paste you an example, or you an google one...
[05:11] <archboxman> igie
[05:11] <igie> NewWorld: nope, its been on there for about a month
[05:11] <Luke_> can ayone see me?
[05:11] <zane> hi i have some problems with multi touch. it works in windows 7 but it wont work in ubuntu
[05:11] <NewWorld> yes Lu
[05:11] <archboxman> NewWorld:  igie wants to troubleshoot old system ..
[05:11] <Luke_> ok i cant get Ubunto to boot for anything, ive tryed every way of installing i could think of, which turned out to be, not so much, i have the images of the kernel freeze when booting  please help
[05:11] <igie> archboxman: i'm trying to avoid a fresh install :(
[05:11] <zane> any ideas its for a dell studio xps 16
[05:11] <NewWorld> igie:  So when it boots up what do you see?
[05:11] <greezmunkey> Luke_, your typing anyway...
[05:12] <Luke_> so what
[05:12] <Luke_> i need help!
[05:12] <chetnick> psycho_oreos: yeah, i know that people had problems with it .... not me though. I'll figure something out. Thanks.
[05:12] <harisund> greezmunkey: Most places online say there will be a line in /etc/network/interfaces that says "auto eth0 ; iface eth0 inet dhcp" .. but /etc/network/interfaces on 9.10 doesn't have that line at all. Where does Ubuntu know to setup DHCP for eth0 on boot? I am guessing there's something with Upstart, and no instructions are there on the web for 9.10 (only 9.04 and prior)
[05:12] <psycho_oreos> chetnick, and that other variant is causing bit of confusion when a more complete output would have rendered b43 to be visible
[05:12] <igie> NewWorld: it boots up no problem
[05:12] <kareeser> EMABrad: you can use unpartitioned space
[05:12] <Andorin> I have a regular old Logitech Quickcam, apparently perfectly supported in Ubuntu. I'm running Karmic. I have tried this on two separate machines now, one 32-bit and one 64-bit. I have tried this with both aMSN and emesene. When I try to cam with a contact, neither of us can see each other's feeds at all. I know my cam works fine because I can run it in Cheese. What gives? Why is Ubuntu refusing to let me cam?
[05:12] <NewWorld> igie:  Boots up to what? Login screen?
[05:12] <igie> NewWorld: yes
[05:12] <NewWorld> igie:  And then the desktop loads and everything except icons?
[05:13] <pepee> anyone knows if karmic will be upgraded to kernel ver. 2.6.32?
[05:13] <greezmunkey> harisund, give me a minute and I'll paste you an example with comments...
[05:13] <adifire> is ther multi-touch in ubuntu??!?!? never heard of it.. :)
[05:13] <harisund> greezmunkey: Thanks man, but please make sure it is 9.10 compatible
[05:13] <Luke_> i have decided to take back my $600 laptop to "bestbuy" but if i could get Ubuntu working there would be no need for that
[05:13] <NewWorld> Luke_:  Did you make your boot order boot from CD first?
[05:13] <igie> NewWorld: no icons and I can't mount any drives, and some of my google gadgets are missing and some of my screenlets too.. and no internet
[05:13] <CkhiKuzad> I want to install ubuntu to take up my entire drive, however i want to import the data from my current ubuntu installation (which is corrupt in the boot) yet ubuntu's installer wont let me. is there a workaround for this?
[05:13] <EMABrad> kareeser: The Eeebuntu installer won't let me create an NTFS partition.  Should I just leave it be, then create it after everything has installed with GParted?
[05:14] <zane> adifire,  i have found sites that say yes
[05:14] <NewWorld> igie:  Can you mount through terminal? have you tried?
[05:14] <Luke_> yes i have succesfully installed ubuntu but i cant get it to boot
[05:14] <NewWorld> Luke_:  Does GRUB load w hen you power on?
[05:14] <greezmunkey> harisund, no worries :)
[05:14] <Luke_> after instalation
[05:14] <Luke_> yes
[05:14] <igie> NewWorld: i've tried and it opens the folder, but then once i click in that folder it freezes and crashes
[05:15] <NewWorld> igie:  Shall we try to boot in the terminal? that way it will display the error messages and we can know what the problem is.
[05:15] <delectate> maybe there is something wrong with your nautilus?
[05:15] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, what do you mean with "which is corrupt in the boot"?
[05:15] <NewWorld> Luke_:  When you select to boot Ubuntu in GRUB what happens?
[05:15] <delectate> try recovery mode
[05:15] <manhunter> geirha: hello
[05:15] <CkhiKuzad> sorry, i was typing fast pepee. it means the /boot/ directory is GONE
[05:15] <manhunter> geirha: hello
[05:15] <igie> NewWorld: sure, but i'm on a livecd, so i will have to try that and then come back... will you be here?
[05:16] <Luke_> it goes into the kernel boot like normal; then gets hung around three secinds into the boot
[05:16] <magn3ts> will rsync -axS be recursive?
[05:16] <NewWorld> igie:  Yeah but will you be able to do that yourself? Don't you have another computer?
[05:16] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, you ca reinstall grub from a live cd
[05:16] <greezmunkey> harisund, look here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/380153
[05:16] <pepee> *can
[05:17] <NewWorld> Luke_:  What ouput message does it stop at? Or is it just the loadingn progress bar?
[05:17] <ZykoticK9> theadmin, not sure if someone gave you an answer to your Unix Time question but it's "date +%s"
[05:17] <igie> NewWorld: I do, but its accross the room... I will go log in to this chat from there.
[05:17] <chetnick> psycho_oreos: to blacklist wl i just add it to /etc/modeprobe.d/blacklist.conf ?
[05:17] <CkhiKuzad> pepee. no i cant. i've tried everything, and it wont work. i've given up
[05:17] <grumbly> huh...
[05:17] <NewWorld> igie:  Yeah do that :)
[05:17] <grumbly> it worked that time...
[05:17] <grumbly> weird
[05:17] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, even "grub-install"?
[05:17] <Luke_> hang on and ill tell you..
[05:17] <CkhiKuzad> even "grub-install"
[05:17] <greezmunkey> harisund, for the static interface you need: netmask 255.255.255.0 or whatever
[05:17] <harisund> Thanks greezmunkey I will check it out
[05:17] <psycho_oreos> chetnick, yes and also make sure to remove wl from kernel modules (modprobe -r) prior to inserting b43
[05:17] <igie> NewWorld: P.S. while I do that, you can get more info on my troubles at this post in the forums.. I found someone else with a similar issue...
[05:18] <CkhiKuzad> the boot directory is completely corrupt, i cant repair this no matter what
[05:18] <igie> NewWorld: i'm the poster: Zidaps... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1406033
[05:18] <chetnick> psycho_oreos: ok, thanks.
[05:18] <CkhiKuzad> but i've 15 gigs that i want to keep, yet reinstall ubuntu
[05:18] <theadmin> ZykoticK9: Wow thanks... one more thing, i suppose "date" is in "coreutils"?
[05:18] <psycho_oreos> chetnick, make sure there's firmware ready for b43
[05:18] <CkhiKuzad> i wish i could just get this damn vmlinuz. and linux-image, thing working
[05:18] <NewWorld> CkhiKuzad:  Have you tried this tut: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351  <<< it worked for me many times
[05:19] <ZykoticK9> theadmin, sorry no idea
[05:19] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, i think the best you can do is reinstall grub
[05:19] <CkhiKuzad> god *facepalms*
[05:19] <CkhiKuzad> the grub directory is still there
[05:19] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, are you sure your linux partition is OK?
[05:19] <YankDownUnder> Anyone familiar with Songbird?
[05:19] <CkhiKuzad> its the linux images that are gone
[05:19] <theadmin> Ah, yes, yes it is. Good.
[05:19] <ZykoticK9> YankDownUnder, using it right now
[05:20] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, just copy them from the cd...
[05:20] <CkhiKuzad> everything but /boot/ is fine
[05:20] <NewWorld> CkhiKuzad:  When you boot does GRUB load?
[05:20] <javatexan> where do things in crontab -e log to?
[05:20] <CkhiKuzad> pepee, the cd has one file, for booting the cd
[05:20] <YankDownUnder> ZykoticK9, Any secrets for getting it to properly view an ipod? (Got it originally from getdeb)
[05:20] <admission> hi
[05:20] <CkhiKuzad> it loads as the primary bootloader, from debian.
[05:21] <CkhiKuzad> but not the ubuntu one
[05:21] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, yep, and after booting linux with that files, you can simply reinsxtall linu
[05:21] <ZykoticK9> YankDownUnder, sorry man I don't have an iPod and have never tried to tie in any players, just use it as my Music player that's all -- sorry.  Best of luck.
[05:21] <NewWorld> CkhiKuzad:  Can't you mount the partition from Debian and copy the files from there?
[05:21] <pepee> *reinstall linux
[05:21] <CkhiKuzad> the partition is 1.4 gigabytes
[05:21] <Pira> NewWorld: I'm here. This is igie.
[05:21] <CkhiKuzad> and i've 15 gigs to import
[05:21] <NewWorld> Hey Pira
[05:21] <YankDownUnder> ZykoticK9, :) -> yeah - it's been a trip to say the least mate - love it, but it just ain't seein the doggone ipod - and the missus ain't happy about that!
[05:22] <Pira> NewWorld: Ok, so how do i restart in terminal?
[05:22] <CkhiKuzad> i just need to know if there is a way to make ubuntu allow me to import my data while formating the entire thing.
[05:22] <chetnick> psycho_oreos: yeah, when you install b43-fwcutter it extracts the firmware with it.
[05:22] <greezmunkey> javatexan, you should find (them) in /var/log/cron
[05:22] <NewWorld> YankDownUnder:  In terminal type 'fdisk -l' and see if you can see the ipod there?
[05:22] <NewWorld> Pira:  'sudo reboot'
[05:23] <ZykoticK9> NewWorld, just an FYI - but you have to use "sudo fdisk -l" to see anything listed... Yank is gone though...
[05:23] <psycho_oreos> chetnick, ok, was assuming you weren't following guides, my bad :)
[05:23] <NewWorld> ZykoticK9:  Yeah in my current distro that's true, but I remember doing it in hardy without sudo and worked just fine :S
[05:23] <greezmunkey> harisund, if you make the appropriate entries in your /etc/network/interfaces file be sure to restart networking: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[05:24]  * CkhiKuzad takes a nap until he gets some help with what he said
[05:25] <harisund> greezmunkey: that I do .. but here's my question. In the current /etc/network/interfaces file, there's no entry for eth0. But still, eth0 automatically starts with DHCP on boot. When there's no entry how does Ubuntu know ?
[05:25] <NewWorld> CkhiKuzad:  I asked you if you can mount it from within Debian and axx the files that way.
[05:25] <Pira> NewWorld: sudo reboot brought me right back into the log in page.
[05:25] <Ziggyzxxyl> I've tried and tried and tried and searched and googled and tried for hours and I still can't get my head around copy files to a floppy disk - nothing I do is working. I can't make any sense out of DD. I've found countless howtos about making disk images and mounting images and using DD to transfer images to a physical floppy, but none of it is working. I need an easy to follow, step by step instructions....
[05:25] <chetnick> psycho_oreos: thanks :-)
[05:25] <NewWorld> Pira:  Reboot restarts the computer, so didn't it restart?
[05:25] <CkhiKuzad> newworld, i cant do that! i only have 1.4 gigs left on the debian drive, and 15 gigs of files to import
[05:26] <greezmunkey> harisund, you said you have no gui, are you running server?
[05:26] <CkhiKuzad> thats like writing an ubuntu ISO to a floppy.
[05:26] <Ziggyzxxyl> I just want to copy some files to a floppy, surely it can't be as impossible as it seems?
[05:26] <NewWorld> CkhiKuzad:  Don't you have any external storage devices?
[05:26] <Pira> NewWorld: yes it restarted, but the issue of no icons and no internet and crashing file manager still persists :(
[05:26] <harisund> greezmunkey: yeah why? (but I think NM might be installed, since I did a apt-get install ubuntu-desktop later but only login remotely really)
[05:26] <CkhiKuzad> a 2 gigabyte flash drive, and a 2 gig SD card
[05:26] <CkhiKuzad> and ubuntu one
[05:26] <CkhiKuzad> but that doesnt count
[05:26] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, do you know what means "mount"?
[05:27] <NewWorld> Pira:  Lol okay hmmmm which problem to start on first lemme think
[05:27] <CkhiKuzad> yes i know what mount means, i've been using debian and ubuntu since 2007
[05:27] <djstava> hello,all
[05:28] <chetnick> psycho_oreos: wow, it worked... Cant believe it went so smooth. Thanks for help.
[05:28] <CkhiKuzad> debian wont partition this fully, ubuntu 7.04 wont, ubuntu 8.10 wont, ubuntu 9.04 wont. i cant do anything
[05:28] <greezmunkey> harisund, you can check with ps -ef | grep Network
[05:28] <Ziggyzxxyl> ironically, if I'd spent 2 hours installing windows onto a machine, I'd have the files on a disk by now :( ..but no - stupid me thought it would be quicker to do it in ubuntu. I had no idea it was so frigging difficult to do something as simple as copy files to a disk :(
[05:28] <psycho_oreos> chetnick, nw
[05:29] <NewWorld> Pira:  Okay the file manager first. Open up a terminal and type in 'gksudo nautilus', with the file manager make it crash like you did before. Then press Ctrl+Alt+1 and see if you can see the terminal screen.
[05:29] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, well, I'm not understanding what your problem is...
[05:29] <CkhiKuzad> pepee, let me make it clear.
[05:29] <NewWorld> CkhiKuzad:  Please lol. I am confused.
[05:29] <militant> hmmm question on keybindings.  i have the usual ctrl-shift-arrows for switching desktops, checked it in the settings.  so what could be conflicting and making that not work?
[05:29] <NewWorld> Pira:  Sorry, Ctrl+Alt+F1
[05:30] <Andorin> I have a regular old Logitech Quickcam, apparently perfectly supported in Ubuntu. I'm running Karmic. I have tried this on two separate machines now, one 32-bit and one 64-bit. I have tried this with both aMSN and emesene. When I try to cam with a contact, neither of us can see each other's feeds at all. I know my cam works fine because I can run it in Cheese. What gives? Why is Ubuntu refusing to let me cam?
[05:30] <NewWorld> militant:  Alt+F2 > type in 'gconf-editor' > Try and search for that shortcut to see if it's assigned to anythingn else.
[05:30] <airtonix> Ziggyzxxyl, your premature rage indicates a pebkac scenario.
[05:30] <CkhiKuzad> I want to reinstall ubuntu.  my current version's boot directory is corrupt. i've no way to partition it fully. when i try to do a full format and install, it says nothing can be imported. i want my 15 gigs of files imported.
[05:31] <MJEvans> What timezone is http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ set to?  UTC hopefully?
[05:31] <Ziggyzxxyl> pebkac is my middle name
[05:31] <airtonix> CkhiKuzad, herein lies the lesson that you don't put /home on the same partition as / or /swap or /proc
[05:31] <Pira> NewWorld: ctrl+alt+F1 and its asking me to log in from a screen that went all termional
[05:31] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, to reinstall ubunyu you can simply copy/paste the files...
[05:31] <Pira> NewWorld: no more gui. only terminal
[05:31] <pepee> please, explain: is ubuntu in the same hdd as debian?
[05:31] <militant> NewWorld: good thought.  but a search for <ctrl><alt> yields nothing and i don't know how to escape within the search box or whatever else is needed
[05:31] <CkhiKuzad> no it is not pepee
[05:32] <pepee> ahh ok
[05:32] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, and where is it...?
[05:32] <Dr_Willis> Pira:  thats the 'console' :)
[05:32] <CkhiKuzad> and pepee these caps are for emphasis and not shouting: I NEED TO FORMAT AND INSTALL. I CAN NOT COPY AND PASTE FILES THAT NO LONGER EXIST AFTER A FORMAT.
[05:33] <NewWorld> Pira:  Perfect, login as root. Then execute 'ps -e | grep nautilus'. Note the PID (Process ID) on the left. Then 'kill [the process ID here with  no brackets]'. And then Ctrl+Alt+F7 to see if the system unfroze.
[05:33] <Ziggyzxxyl> I can get kfloppy to format a floppy, but that is all... can ANYONE explain how I get a file onto the floppy?
[05:34] <NewWorld> militant:  You said you use Ctrl+Shift, but then you search for Ctrl+Alt?
[05:34] <jermz> hi
[05:34] <jermz> boring
[05:34] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, ok. I think you have to copy your config files by hand
[05:34] <CkhiKuzad> there are trillions of config files, which are you talking about, pepee?
[05:34] <militant> NewWorld: if i said ctrl-shift i was mistyping.  ctrl-alt-arrows have been the defaults forever i know, and it's hwat i use.  was fooling around in compiz-settings-manager or whatever and the shortcut stopped working
[05:35] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, system config files? browser configs? ...?
[05:35] <NewWorld> militant:  Maybe search just for 'left' or for 'right'?
[05:36] <Pira> NewWorld: yes the system unfroze but thats because nautilus closed. now my background wallpaper is gone too.. lol
[05:36] <NewWorld> CkhiKuzad:  Why can't you partition it?
[05:36] <CkhiKuzad> it freezes up or just stops bothering NewWorld
[05:36] <NewWorld> Pira:  Great, what does it say in the terminal? Remember we did 'gksu nautilus'?
[05:36] <NewWorld> CkhiKuzad:  Is that Gparted on the ubuntu Live CD?
[05:37] <CkhiKuzad> pepee. its not the configurations i need to keep. i can reset those in 10 minutes. the files, images from school, mp3s, movies, stuff like that
[05:37] <Dr_Willis> you can install gparted once you boot the live cd
[05:37] <Pira> NewWorld: doesn't say a thing besides "gksudo nautilus"
[05:37] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, ahh
[05:37] <CkhiKuzad> Pira, i think its supposed to be gksu
[05:37] <teratorn> is there any reliable, automatic way to rename a user account?
[05:37] <NewWorld> CkhiKuzad:  I don't think there's a difference, both do same thing.
[05:38] <CkhiKuzad> so a configuration for making firefox have pipelining is the same as a picture of my girlfriend at the homecoming dance?
[05:38] <Pira> CkhlKuzad: it worked both ways the same way :s
[05:38] <airtonix> CkhiKuzad, gksu & gksudo are the same thing as far as I am aware.
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> teratorn:  i recall some guides/scripts on how to do that. but i normally make a new acount and move the files over by hand
[05:38] <NewWorld> CkhiKuzad:  Is that Gparted on the ubuntu Live CD?
[05:38] <CkhiKuzad> yes it is
[05:39] <geekualizer> NewWorld: yes
[05:39] <teratorn> Dr_Willis: yeah... I'm not sure how to move my encrypted home dir over... maybe it's not hard
[05:39] <powdahound> Should I be using vmbuild or ubuntu-vm-builder to create VM instances? I'm on 9.10 server. So confused by the state of virtualization in Ubuntu...
[05:39] <CkhiKuzad> and i noticed the error in what i said, newworld. you meant gksudo and gksu, not configurations and files
[05:39] <NewWorld> CkhiKuzad:  You should try another partition program like cfdisk, or a Windows solution.
[05:40] <CkhiKuzad> NewWorld, i dont have windows on this system at all
[05:40] <mod> hmm trying to add a printer and I get the "client-error-not-possible".   The bug report says that I need a new version of foomatic-filters, 3.0 to be exact, but the best I can seem to get with package manager is 2.2
[05:40] <militant> NewWorld: ok, i found 2 duplicate keybindings for differnet functions, on both left and right.  cleared those.  do i need to log out and back in
[05:40] <NewWorld> CkhiKuzad:  It could be that your hardrive is physically impaired. I had that and it was horrible.. you should run a surface test to see if it is physically defected.
[05:40] <mod> i've turned on all update sources, etc, but I cannotseem to get 3.0
[05:40] <mod> any ideas?
[05:40] <NewWorld> Pira:  I haven't left you, just thinking what to do next.
[05:40] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, maybe the mbr is corrupted
[05:40] <CkhiKuzad> NewWorld. its not my hard drive, i deleted the directory once by accident.
[05:40] <NewWorld> militant:  No, it should save right there and then.
[05:41] <militant> hmmm.  something's still conflicting then
[05:41] <Pira> NewWorld: i realise other people have issues as well. Your only one person. Do your best ;)
[05:41] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, you can run fsck too
[05:41] <gyokimae2> Anyone know, with gconf-editor in 9.10, where did the item [system]$B!d(B[storage]$B!d(B[default_options]$B!d(B[ntfs-3g] go?
[05:41] <NewWorld> mod:  The repositories are outdated... you will have to compile the package from source and it might not be so easy.
[05:41] <w3rd_> hey guys, know of an easy way to connect to an ubuntu computer over wan?
[05:41] <NewWorld> w3rd_:  Graphically or CLI?
[05:41] <Luke_> ssh
[05:42] <w3rd_> graphically
[05:42] <CkhiKuzad> i hate partitioning to be honest. a tedious 2 hours of a progress bar not showing you the detail of how far you are, just going back and forth
[05:42] <CkhiKuzad> i've broken an LCD monitor from it once.
[05:42] <hal9k20101> hello i am having problems with ubu ppc , the only way i can boot the cd is if i use "live-nospash-powerpc" comand but gets me to a funny looking desktop
[05:42] <w3rd_> well aware of ssh... was hoping there was a way to view the screen
[05:42] <NewWorld> CkhiKuzad:  Talk about it, I resized my parititon yesterday, corrupted.. lost so much stuff :'(
[05:42] <stevebuntu> anyone else running on a samsung N130 ?
[05:42] <cody__> Hey everyone, I'm trying to change /etc/profile so that I can add the java PATH variable and I can't figure out how to do it. I opened it in Kate, but don't have permission to save it. Any suggestions?

[05:43] <mod> what
[05:43] <pepee> cody__, kdesudo kate /etc/profile
[05:43] <Trek> how do I purge all instances of a process from terminal?
[05:43] <NewWorld> mod:  The shortcut?
[05:43] <airtonix> w3rd_, use vnc through ssh tunnel
[05:43] <CkhiKuzad> i DONT want to partition. i will repeat that in bolded caps: I DO NOT WANT TO PARTITION, I WANT TO DO A FULL FORMAT, BUT IMPORT EVERYTHING BEFORE IT FORMATS.
[05:43] <NewWorld> Trek: I think 'killall' but look at man page
[05:43] <cody__> Thank you, I'll try that
[05:43] <hal9k20101> anybody with ubuntu ppc exp. ??
[05:44] <w3rd_> got a link?
[05:44] <airtonix> w3rd_, or you can use hamachi and then vnc through that virtual lan
[05:44] <MindVirus> Anyone?
[05:44] <mod> Which shortcut would that be?
[05:44] <NewWorld> CkhiKuzad:  Can't. Get external storage or free up space on the Debian partition.
[05:44] <Blue1> CkhiKuzad: illogical
[05:44] <cbojar> ckhiKuzad: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/PNY+-+8GB+USB+2.0+Flash+Drive+-+Blue/Black/8452854.p?id=1183767792509&skuId=8452854 get two, save yourself some anger and frustration
[05:44] <NewWorld> Oh my bad sorry mod, I confused you for someone else.
[05:44] <archboxman> Blue1: Got spoke ears...... lol
[05:44] <greezmunkey> Ziggyzxxyl, did you get your floppy to be useable?

[05:45] <OperaRox> omg ubuntu
[05:45] <MindVirus> iconmefisto: Tuxguitar is pretty crappy.
[05:45] <mod> NewWorld, np heh
[05:45] <geekualizer> w3rd_: ssh -C -X user@target -L 5900:localhost:5910  - then run vncviewer locally to connect to port 5910
[05:45] <airtonix> w3rd_, you know how to setup a ssh tunnel ?
[05:45] <NewWorld> Pira:  Make it crash again, then switch to terminal with CtrlAltF1 and type 'dmesg | tail'
[05:45] <CkhiKuzad> forget it. i will figure it out on my own. all you are seeming to tell me is that i need to buy something or free up 15 gigabytes on a 10 gigabyte disk, or partition a drive with partitioning tools that DO NOT WORK
[05:46] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, you have 2 disks, and you want to recover all of the data from one of them, and you can't run ubuntu from that disk. is that?
[05:46] <militant> NewWorld: interestingly, it's set to give me 2 desktops, but i can't even click into the 2nd one... did i turn something off somehow?
[05:46] <greezmunkey> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1347098
[05:46] <NewWorld> CkhiKuzad:  Use different partitioning tools.
[05:46] <Ziggyzxxyl> greezmunkey: no, but I may have worked it out - if I run xp in virtual box, I can access the floppy. So I might be able to write the files to the floppy from within virutalbox running xp...
[05:46] <CkhiKuzad> newworld
[05:46] <CkhiKuzad> linux only partitioning tools please.
[05:46] <airtonix> w3rd_, first step is that you need the remote machines router IP or domain name setup via something like dyndns, then you use geekualizers step above, then you follow : http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/06/12/vnc-over-ssh-securing-the-remote-desktop/
[05:46] <CkhiKuzad> i cant use windows
[05:46] <greezmunkey> Ziggyzxxyl, check the post right above you :)
[05:46] <pepee> CkhiKuzad, cfdisk
[05:47] <NewWorld> CkhiKuzad:  You don't need windows, these programs are booted into. Check 'Hiren's BootCD' for example.
[05:47] <Pira> NewWorld: way too many things came up for me to type them all out
[05:47] <NewWorld> Pira:  Any ones that seem relevant?
[05:47] <Pira> NewWorld: what am I looking for?
[05:47] <NewWorld> Pira:  Errors haha
[05:47] <airtonix> w3rd_, or you can skip the whole separate ssh setup routine and use freenx instead
[05:47] <Pira> NewWorld: not really.
[05:48] <airtonix> w3rd_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[05:48] <NewWorld> Pira:  What's the last message? Doesn't' have to be verbatim, just keywords.
[05:48] <CkhiKuzad> i'm going to my aunt's house this sunday. she will be able to partition the drive, she owns a computer repair store.
[05:48] <pepee> I give up...
[05:48] <MindVirus> Any guitar tabbing software that doesn't suck?
[05:48] <Pira> NewWorld: no ipv6 routers,  forcedeth for MSI
[05:49] <CkhiKuzad> thanks for your help, i wish it would have helped in the way i hoped it would
[05:49] <Pira> NewWorld,. things like that
[05:49] <Dr_Willis> its fun to use virtualboxc to practice partioning drives :)
[05:49] <pepee> Dr_Willis, it helped me to copy windows to another machine....
[05:49] <pepee> vbox FTW ;)
[05:49] <archboxman> Pira: weren't you in here last week sometime and came to the conclusion as igie you could find problems in your dmesg??????
[05:49] <Pira> NewWorld: one warning about dhcpd3 using 32-bit something or other
[05:50] <NewWorld> Pira:  Those are just network-related messages, nothing relevant :(
[05:50] <NewWorld> Pira:  Does everything freeze and become grey and you can't move the mosue?
[05:50] <NewWorld> militant:  Change setting to have 4 workspaces? Then try to switch between them to see if works?
[05:51] <Pira> archboxman: nope, must have been a different igie ;) this problem started tonight after i screwed around with winbind and samba trying to share files...
[05:51] <Pira> NewWorld: yup, freezes and greys out
[05:51] <NewWorld> Pira:  Mouse?
[05:51] <militant> NewWorld: i solved it digging around in compiz.  been fiddling with it too much.  thanks for the help
[05:51] <NewWorld> cursor
[05:51] <archboxman> Pira: stop both services..
[05:51] <NewWorld> militant:  yw :)
[05:51] <Luke_> NewWorld:im at GRUB it will just be a seond
[05:52] <Pira> NewWorld: mouse shows its busy, with that clock thing, but it still moves where i point it
[05:52] <Ziggyzxxyl> trying to copy the files to the floppy in XP under virtualbox failed... but at least the drive light came on and it made noises as if it was copying.... looking at your link now greezmunkey ....
[05:52] <NewWorld> Pira:  archboxman has a good idea. Kill nautilus from terminal like before. Then use System Monitor or similar to kill all optional processes.
[05:53] <greezmunkey> Ziggyzxxyl, you will have to interface with it from the command line, sorry :)
[05:53] <pepee> haha
[05:53] <tm512> hi guys
[05:54] <NewWorld> Problem, tm512 ?
[05:54] <archboxman> Pira: that is important information you should have told us about earlier :)
[05:54] <stevebuntu> whts the dif between ubuntu and ubuntu remix ?
[05:54] <Pira> NewWorld: archboxman: i removed samba and winbind from /etc/init.d because they were screwing up my reboot, sticking and freezing... so those definitely aren't running
[05:54] <tm512> i have a 3com ethernet 3c589d pc card and im trying to get it working under ubuntu server
[05:55] <hal9k20101> need some help with ubuntu for ppc
[05:55] <tm512> the laptop in question has a busted screen
[05:55] <Dr_Willis> hal9k20101:  and the specific question is?
[05:55] <archboxman> Pira: uninstall or move to background services???
[05:55] <tm512> and i cnt have it on a screen and the internet at the same time
[05:55] <Luke_> oNewWorld: ok i reinstalled Ubuntu and it booted into a runlevel three command promt and i logged startx, and now i cant do anything  my mouse wont move and the keyboad wont work
[05:55] <NewWorld> Pira:  That sticking and freezing in addition to your current problems? Or was everything else working fine?
[05:55] <tm512> how do i get it working?
[05:55] <geekualizer> stevebuntu: netbook-remix has a slightly different frontend for working with smaller screens as found on netbooks.. see http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/unr
[05:56] <tm512> under ifconfig it isnt listed
[05:56] <hal9k20101> after boot using "live-nosplash-powerpc" got to a desktop with flushed color
[05:56] <NewWorld> Luke_:  Looks like you will have to edit xorg.conf can you locate it?
[05:56] <Dr_Willis> tm512:  this is a wireless card?
[05:56] <tm512> only the loopback
[05:56] <hal9k20101> how can i fix this
[05:56] <tm512> no
[05:56] <tm512> ethernet
[05:56] <knoppies> tm512, and if you do ifconfig -a?
[05:56] <Luke_> hang on
[05:56] <Dr_Willis> tm512:  a pcmcia wired card? or whate exacttly?
[05:56] <Pira> archboxman: its all explained here... i post as "zidaps" on the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1406033
[05:56] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> When I right click on my desktop nothing pops up, I dont get the menu popping up!? How do I go about getting that to work again?
[05:57] <tm512> the laptop (compaq armada 1750) has no built in ethernet
[05:57] <Luke_> NewWorld:what is the directory?
[05:57] <tm512> brb
[05:57] <stevebuntu> the reason i ask is im using it to learn .net with mono and i cant seem to get apache to function
[05:57] <hal9k20101> how can i fix xorg
[05:57] <knoppies> LINUXHELPNEEDED, that only works if nautilus renders your desktop.
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  sounds like the nautiuls may of died. it handles the desktop. you try logout/back in?
[05:57] <Pira> NewWorld: everything was working perfectly until i tried to in stall winbind with "sudo apt-get install winbind"
[05:57] <NewWorld> Luke_:  /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[05:57] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> yes many times
[05:57] <geekualizer> stevebuntu: I see no reason why it shouldn't work under UNR
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  make a new user  see if it works for them
[05:57] <NewWorld> Pira:  Do you want to uninstall winbind? And maybe Samba too?
[05:58] <Pira> this page on the forum, where i posted as "zidaps" explains it all http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1406033
[05:58] <knoppies> LINUXHELPNEEDED, then it sounds like you are not using nautilus to render your desktop, give me a sec while I go find the correct setting.
[05:58] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> how do I go to restart nautulis?
[05:58] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> or reinstall it
[05:58] <Pira> NewWorld. I tried that, but let me try again.
[05:58] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  YOu can restart nautilus by killing it's process from another terminal. Can you do that/
[05:59] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> how do I go about doing that?
[05:59] <tm512> just lists loopback
[05:59] <airtonix> LINUXHELPNEEDED, 1) alt+ctrl+f2 2) login 3) killall nautilus && nautilus
[05:59] <tm512> :(
[06:00] <tm512> i need to get it on the internet for dhcp
[06:00] <stevebuntu> if u had to learn one prog language which one would u learn first ?
[06:00] <tm512> stevebuntu: python
[06:00] <geekualizer> stevebuntu: python
[06:00] <knoppies> stevebuntu, I like c++, but then I dont know too many.
[06:00] <NewWorld> Yup I heard python is a great first language.
[06:00] <airtonix> LINUXHELPNEEDED, or an easier way is that if you have your applications/places/system menu in the panel up top, just select a place from the places menu
[06:00] <mneptok> stevebuntu: APL. it will drive you back to your previous career choice.
[06:00] <teratorn> do *not* try to learn c++ first, if you value your sanity
[06:01] <tm512> i need to ssh into this laptop
[06:01] <airtonix> tm512, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH
[06:01] <NewWorld> tm512:  You could try to find another screen and connect it to that.
[06:01] <Ziggyzxxyl> greezmunkey: i failed at the cp step. It just tells me "cp: omitting directory `/home/ubuntu/Documents/copyme/'"
[06:01] <mezquitale> tm512, install openssh on the laptop
[06:01] <tm512> it is installed
[06:01] <Ziggyzxxyl> what am I doing wrong?
[06:01] <tm512> but i cant get the card working
[06:01] <stevebuntu> can i use mono for python ?
[06:01] <airtonix> Ziggyzxxyl, take the last slash off the path
[06:02] <mezquitale> tm512, what do you mean "card"? ssh is not tied to a card
[06:02] <Dr_Willis> stevebuntu:  go learn python. its handy
[06:02] <Luke_> NewWorld:Ok im in the terminal now what  i have cd ed into /etc/X11
[06:02] <tm512> i know -_-
[06:02] <teratorn> stevebuntu: yes, but why would you want to?
[06:02] <Besogon> Yestuday a idea stroke in my mainconserning GNU MAKE. If gnu make can install a program why can't it build some king of package with common format, which could  be recycled with next utilites for make deb or rpm packages.I think, it would be better for all.
[06:02] <knoppies> mezquitale, he has an ethernet card he is trying to get working.
[06:02] <stevebuntu> that was my first choice
[06:02] <djveer> Hey guys, would it be possible to boot a 64-bit VM with Virtualbox ... running Ubuntu off a liveCD?
[06:02] <NewWorld> Luke_:  'nano xorg.conf'
[06:02] <mneptok> tm512: wired or wireless?
[06:02] <teratorn> stevebuntu: just use Python for python
[06:02] <tm512> i cant hook the laptop to the internet with this wired card
[06:02] <greezmunkey> Ziggyzxxyl, what command did you issue?
[06:02] <tm512> pcmcia
[06:02] <mneptok> tm512: lspci -vv
[06:02] <mezquitale> tm512, the problem is not with ssh, first get your ethernet card working, go fix your ethernet card then come back and ask away
[06:02] <Luke_> its completely blank!
[06:02] <mneptok> tm512: who makes the chipset?
[06:03] <stevebuntu> um im assuming python is a prog ?
[06:03] <igie> NewWorld: archboxman: ok so that worked perfectly
[06:03] <tm512> i never said it was ssh
[06:03] <tm512> brb, going to laptop
[06:03] <knoppies> mezquitale, that is what he is trying to do, go read up if you want to jump in.
[06:03] <teratorn> stevebuntu: you could start with a functional language, if it makes sense to you... learnyouahaskell.com
[06:03] <NewWorld> Luke_:  'sudo updatedb', then 'locate xorg.conf'
[06:03] <mezquitale> djveer, i dont see why not, unless youre trying to do it using a 32 machine, then im not sure about that one
[06:03] <igie> NewWorld: archboxman: i'm back up and running 100% again, but i
[06:03] <NewWorld> igie:  What is fixed?
[06:03] <archboxman> igie:  what worked?
[06:04] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> Hi could the kind person who helped me just a moment ago please re-state the method of getting into another terminal to restart nautulis?
[06:04] <djveer> mezquitale: Well it's a 64-bit capable processor.... but I tried running it off a 32-bit OS (happened to be windows xp) and didn't work.
[06:04] <Ziggyzxxyl> greezmunkey: tried both "sudo cp /home/ubuntu/Documents/copyme /media/floppy" with and without trailing "/" at end of copyme path
[06:04] <hannah_irina> hi, i need to give internet in another computer! i configure eth0 and eth1 but i need the make someting.. for give him itnernet
[06:04] <igie> NewWorld: archboxman: hahahha... i'm the same person as Pira.... removing samba and winbind fixed the problems
[06:04] <NewWorld> mezquitale:  tm512 came in here to get the card working....
[06:04] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> I got D/C
[06:04] <teratorn> stevebuntu: http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/
[06:04] <NewWorld> igie:  Icons, nautilus and internet?
[06:04] <knoppies> LINUXHELPNEEDED, alt-ctrl-F2, if I recall correctly.
[06:05] <igie> NewWorld: yup all good as gold now
[06:05] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  Alt+Ctrl+F1
[06:05] <hannah_irina> sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
[06:05] <NewWorld> igie:  I'm glad :)
[06:05] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> What do I need to type afterwards?
[06:05] <tm512> its not showing up
[06:05] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> once in the terminal?
[06:05] <tm512> the cardbus adapter is
[06:05] <mezquitale> djveer, so make some space for ubuntu on your hard drive and create a dual boot, download the 64 bit ISO
[06:05] <knoppies> Im not sure, you will have to ask the guy who was helping you earlier.
[06:05] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  'killall nautilus'
[06:05] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> and how do I get back to the desktop afterwards?
[06:05] <seanbrystone> LINUXHELPNEEDED, it was something like alt-ctrl-f1  , log in, killall nautilus && nautilus
[06:05] <knoppies> alt-ctrl-F7
[06:05] <igie> NewWorld, but my problem of sharing ... well thats how i got into this mess in the first place... I still can't share without samba and winbind :s
[06:05] <djveer> mezquitale: yeah I may do that.. thanks :)
[06:05] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  Ctrl+Alt+F7 gets you back into X
[06:06] <mneptok> LINUXHELPNEEDED: alt+f2 and type "killall nautilus && nautilus" (no quotes) in the input box
[06:06] <mezquitale> Newky, knoppies thanks for the heads up, once tm512 has his equipment ready to troubleshoot hell start ask questions again
[06:06] <igie> NewWorld: i guess i will try to re-install them and see if they work this time round.
[06:06] <pepee> hannah_irina, and your question is?
[06:06] <archboxman> igie: misconfiguration of samba has it loopback pakets to 127.0.0.1
[06:06] <greezmunkey> Ziggyzxxyl, add: /copeme : to the end of your command, or /.
[06:06] <mneptok> LINUXHELPNEEDED: or just log out and back in
[06:06] <tm512> i have no clue how to set up this ethernet card
[06:06] <tm512> thats my problem
[06:06] <knoppies> mezquitale, k. I appreciate the help.
[06:06] <Luke_> NewWorld: ok i had to reboot laptop    now im stuck in the kernel
[06:06] <tm512> NOT ssh
[06:06] <mneptok> tm512: who makes the chipset?
[06:06] <greezmunkey> Ziggyzxxyl, you need to supply a filename :)
[06:06] <mezquitale> djveer, what 64 ubuntu flavor youre thinking about?  most 64 bit ubuntu flavors you can try booting up into it first to see if you like it or not
[06:06] <tm512> its 3com
[06:06] <NewWorld> Luke_:  What you mean stuck in the kernel? :/
[06:06] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> okay thanks
[06:06] <tm512> no clue
[06:06] <airtonix> mnemonikk, i just logged out and back in then i lost a four million dollar game on the internet... THANKS!
[06:07] <tm512> doesnt show up in lspci
[06:07] <igie> archboxman: i have no idea what that mean :P whats a loopback packet ?
[06:07] <airtonix> mnemonikk, here in lies the lesson of  help desk : less destructive help directions are preferred first
[06:07] <mneptok> tm512: then the internal ethernet is not physically connected. lspci will gladly show devices for which there is no driver.
[06:07] <igie> NewWorld: archboxman: thank you guys for helping me try to solve this issue :)
[06:07] <tm512> i mean jesus christ this card works with Mac OS 8.6
[06:07] <Ziggyzxxyl> greezmunkey: I already thought of that - that fails too - "cp: cannot create regular file `/media/floppy/filename.ext': Read-only file system"
[06:07] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> okay tried that and it said no process!
[06:08] <djveer> mezquitale: eval copy of Red hat ES 64-bit
[06:08] <mezquitale> tm512, is it internal or external ethernet card?  what machine do you have? name and model please
[06:08] <archboxman> igie: it tests the nic card.... anyways not important ... you know now how to kill the process if problems
[06:08] <NewWorld> igie:  :D I love fixing things
[06:08] <tm512> i already said
[06:08] <tm512> external
[06:08] <airtonix> LINUXHELPNEEDED, because it is not running
[06:08] <stevebuntu> cool its always the most difficult step to figure out where to start
[06:08] <tm512> pcmcia
[06:08] <Ziggyzxxyl> this is hopeless.
[06:08] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> how do I get it to run?
[06:08] <tm512> compaq armada 1750
[06:08] <airtonix> LINUXHELPNEEDED, 1) alt+ctrl+f2 2) login 3) killall nautilus && nautilus
[06:08] <mezquitale> djveer, this is ubuntu support, i can walk you through the steps that help you get your system ready but afterwards youre on your own
[06:08] <NewWorld> Ziggyzxxyl:  How did you mount the floppy?
[06:08] <mneptok> tm512: it might require some kind of firmware injection that is handled by the driver for Mac OS
[06:08] <stevebuntu> thats why i like mono there are projects you cna "reverse engeneer" so to speak
[06:08] <airtonix> LINUXHELPNEEDED, or an easier way is that if you have your applications/places/system menu in the panel up top, just select a place from the places menu
[06:09] <greezmunkey> Ziggyzxxyl, good point, you are probably mounted readonly...let me check something.
[06:09] <tm512> 3com etherlink 3c589d
[06:09] <Ziggyzxxyl> NewWorld: sudo mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
[06:09] <tm512> brb
[06:09] <djveer> mezquitale: it's okay I should be able to handle doing the dual-boot but thanks :) and I appreciate your advice greatly
[06:09] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> yes that obviously works but that doesnt fix the problem with the no bar showing up if I right click on the desktop
[06:09] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  just type 'nautilus' if doesn't work t hen 'gksudo nautilus'
[06:10] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  Does right clicking on other things work?
[06:10] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> yep
[06:10] <airtonix> NewWorld, why would you run nautilus as root to solve this issue, it makes no sense ?
[06:10] <pepee> Ziggyzxxyl, add -o rw, maybe it can help
[06:10] <greezmunkey> Ziggyzxxyl, yeah add rw to the -t and try again
[06:10] <mezquitale> tm512, youre going to have a good time trying to figure that one out them, sorry i wont be much help with your pcmcia card, keep asking again, this time mention your pcmcia manufactuer and model, if i find something in the forum ill let you know
[06:10] <archboxman> NewWorld: I think someone needs to update ubutto to add state your problem and what was the last thing you were installing or playing with when system crashed...
[06:10] <NewWorld> airtonix:  It doesn't affect anything, so doesn't matter which.
[06:11] <airtonix> NewWorld, i beg to differ
[06:11] <mneptok> tm512: try "modprobe 3c589_cs"
[06:11] <Ziggyzxxyl> greezmunkey:  sudo mount -trw msdos /dev/fd0 /media/floppy ? or -t -rw?
[06:11] <pepee> Ziggyzxxyl, '-t rw'
[06:11] <pepee> Ziggyzxxyl, or -o uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000
[06:12] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> NewWorld yes if I right click on something else it works
[06:12] <airtonix> NewWorld, example, while you were typing out your next reply  PersonRequetingHelpThatYouSuggestedtoRunNautilusAsRoot just decided to find out what happens when they delete the /var folder....
[06:12] <greezmunkey> Ziggyzxxyl, it's probably mounted as root, and will not let you create files there, mine did. I'll try sudo to copy a file there...
[06:12] <airtonix> NewWorld, so now you have another issue clouding the previous problem (that you won't be aware of immediatly)
[06:13] <airtonix> NewWorld, less destructive help directions first.
[06:13] <NewWorld> airtonix:  They were first, I said _if it doesn't work_ run as root.
[06:13] <mneptok> LINUXHELPNEEDED: are you using Compiz?
[06:13] <greezmunkey> Ziggyzxxyl, that was exactly it! So, now to figure out how to mount as my user...
[06:13] <Ziggyzxxyl> greezmunkey: I have been using sudo to try and cp the files there - it says read only... I can't get the "rw" into the command, it isn't accepting it after -t rw
[06:13] <airtonix> NewWorld, its not even needed...
[06:13] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> Mneptok yes!
[06:14] <NewWorld> airtonix:  Fair enough,
[06:14] <mneptok> LINUXHELPNEEDED: disable it
[06:14] <archboxman> got to go have fun :) boys,boys,boys
[06:14] <greezmunkey> Ziggyzxxyl mount -rwt msdos /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 (is what I did)
[06:14] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> Mneptok Ive disabled it, I still cant right click on desktop!
[06:15] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  Can you left click on the icons?
[06:15] <tm512> okay screw this
[06:15] <mezquitale> tm512, the only solutionI found requires you to compile the driver intot he kernel
[06:15] <pepee> greezmunkey, -o uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000 for mounting as your user
[06:15] <greezmunkey> Ziggyzxxyl, the good thing here is that once you know exactly how to mount and unmount, you can create scripts to do this much more simply.
[06:15] <mneptok> tm512: try "sudo modprobe 3c589_cs"
[06:15] <greezmunkey> pepee, cool I'll try it :)
[06:15] <mezquitale> tm512, have you tried booting up to your laptop with the pcmcia plugged in?
[06:15] <mneptok> mezquitale: unlikely, as the module is already shipped in compiled form
[06:15] <tm512> yes
[06:15] <NewWorld> greezmunkey:  Script or put into fstab?
[06:15] <hannah_irina> deepfreez@haihui:~$ /etc/init.d/iptables save
[06:15] <hannah_irina> -bash: /etc/init.d/iptables: No such file or directory
[06:16] <hannah_irina> ??? what is the problem
[06:16] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> NewWorld I dont have Icons on desktop neither can I add any to the desktop
[06:16] <tm512> brb
[06:16] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> I am running cairodock
[06:16] <greezmunkey> NewWorld, that's the one! :)
[06:16] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  Try putting on a CD and if you have auto-mounting on it should show the icon of it at the top left. Any removable devices actually.
[06:16] <stevebuntu> anyone else having an issue with the realtek nic ?
[06:16] <airtonix> hannah_irina, obviously :  No such file or directory
[06:16] <pepee> hannah_irina, /sbin/iptables
[06:17] <mezquitale> mneptok, do you know how to compile drivers into the kernel so you can walk tm512 on how to do it?  If the modle is already compiled then all you may have to do is install the module and configure it to be used
[06:17] <mneptok> LINUXHELPNEEDED: do you have a LiveCD available?
[06:17] <pepee> hannah_irina, sudo /sbin/iptables save
[06:17] <aKPowered> # Appears as HUGH.
[06:17] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> I tried this with my secondary hdd no it doesnt show the mount on desktop
[06:17] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> mneptok Yes I do!
[06:17] <pepee> but there is no need to add /sbin/ ...
[06:17] <stevebuntu> when i hibernate the wireless card seems to get disconnected then i have to reboot to reconect
[06:17] <mneptok> mezquitale: there is not reason to compile it in. it can be dynamically loaded on boot.
[06:17] <Luke_> NewWorld: no i cant even get it to boot
[06:17] <RPG_Master> OK, I'm about to do some lost+found recovery. Which of these would be the best for the job? Foremost, MagicRescue, or Sleuthkit?
[06:17] <hannah_irina> peope , airtonix
[06:17] <hannah_irina> deepfreez@haihui:~$ sudo /sbin/iptables save
[06:17] <hannah_irina> Bad argument `save'
[06:18] <Luke_> now i cant even get it to boot
[06:18] <mneptok> LINUXHELPNEEDED: boot off it and see if the problem may be with your particular configuration.
[06:18] <NewWorld> Luke_:  When you power it on do you see GRUB?
[06:18] <Luke_> yes
[06:18] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> Boot into liveCD mode?
[06:18] <mneptok> LINUXHELPNEEDED: yes
[06:18] <pepee> stevebuntu, lspci | grep -i wireless, and tell me which card it is
[06:18] <NewWorld> Luke_:  You select to boot Ubuntu and where does the problem occur?
[06:18] <hannah_irina> pepee, i need to save the rules when i restart the linux the rules backup
[06:18] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> I tried that earlier and it works like normal
[06:18] <airtonix> hannah_irina, 1) do you know how to use iptables to begin with 2) did you first consult : man iptables 3) stop pasting terminal output over multiple lines
[06:18] <pepee> hannah_irina, man iptables....
[06:18] <RPG_Master> All I'm looking to do is stick all the files of a type into individual folders.
[06:18] <mneptok> LINUXHELPNEEDED: then something about the way your installed system is set up is causing the problem.
[06:19] <Ziggyzxxyl> greezmunkey: it did not work. still getting "omitting some blah blah blah crap" when I try to copy the folder or "read only blah blah..." when I try to copy a single file :(
[06:19] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  Do you think cairo-dock is the problem?
[06:19] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> maybe GDM?
[06:19] <mneptok> LINUXHELPNEEDED: restart Nautilus all you want, it won't help.
[06:19] <tm512> nope not working
[06:19] <RPG_Master> Include some like ".ARW", my camera's RAW files
[06:19] <NewWorld> Ziggyzxxyl:  Are you copying as root?
[06:19] <mezquitale> tm512, do not despair, I suggest you open a thread in the forum, since it's an old card then most likely youll find someone who can help you
[06:19] <RPG_Master> So, any advice?
[06:19] <Ziggyzxxyl> NewWorld: yes
[06:19] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> I closed cairo-dock but still the same problem persists so it seems cairo-dock is not the problem
[06:19] <mneptok> LINUXHELPNEEDED: create a new account and login to that. see if your Cairodock or other account-specific modifications are causing the problem
[06:19] <tm512> i'll resort to the dock that came with the laptop first
[06:20] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> Okay I will be back :)
[06:20] <NewWorld> RPG_Master:  Nautilus > Ctrl+F > type in .[extension of file]?
[06:20] <tm512> thanks for the help, even though a solution wasnt found
[06:20] <pepee> hannah_irina, you can add the rules to /etc/rc.local
[06:20] <Tatzelbrumm> Hi, I have a hard disk problem under 9.04. Is this the right place to ask?
[06:20] <tm512> but i have to go
[06:20] <mneptok> tm512: good luck
[06:20] <mneptok> bah
[06:20] <mezquitale> lol
[06:20] <rww> Tatzelbrumm: yes
[06:20] <NewWorld> Tatzelbrumm:  I guess so, try
[06:20] <RPG_Master> NewWorld: This is Lost+Found, ie "#12345" for file names :(

[06:21] <stevebuntu> that command didn't work
[06:21] <NewWorld> RPG_Master:  Another file-manager, called Krusader has an option to filter search results by filetype. You could try that.
[06:22] <pepee> mauhur, apt-cache search plone
[06:22] <Luke_> or it stops on eth0 : RTL 8102e at 0xffffc9000020c6000 , 00:owiefjowifh mac adress
[06:22] <Tatzelbrumm> ok, Problem: I used the 9.04 install CD to resize an existing 12GB ext3 partition with 9.04 on it to 78GB. Paritioner quit with error message, but the partition seems to be resized successfully, and I can still boot into the partition. The only issue: The 9.04 on the partition still thinks it has only 12GB. What do I need to do to let the Linux know that it has more space now?
[06:22] <Ziggyzxxyl> sorry, but this is utterly hopeless and has been a waste of my time. I don't see I have any choice but to install windows on a machine, copy the files to the floppy from there.. otherwise I am going to be up all night trying to write files to a flippin floppy disk :(
[06:22] <RPG_Master> NewWorld: It knows even if the file doens't include the extension in it's name?
[06:22] <pepee> stevebuntu, that command tell you what your card is
[06:22] <NewWorld> bhundven:  What error mesage do you get when you try to install one of the uninstallable packages?
[06:23] <bhundven> NewWorld: the package is unavailable
[06:23] <NewWorld> RPG_Master:  I've never tried it but it seems too, maybe with MIME or smth... worth a try?
[06:23] <stevebuntu> it doesn't show anything ?

[06:23] <Luke_> NewWorld:or it stops on eth0 : RTL 8102e at 0xffffc9000020c6000 , 00:owiefjowifh mac adress
[06:24] <RPG_Master> NewWorld: It wouldn't hurt the files if I copied the entire lost+found file onto an external hard drive, would it?
[06:24] <steveness> i just made a new swap partition to the requirements, but how do i set it up for hibernation?
[06:24]  * bhundven is on lucid
[06:24] <NewWorld> bhundven:  I'm not sure what that error message means. But you can try downloading the package from the repo server directly and then installing with dpkg?
[06:24] <pepee> Ziggyzxxyl, http://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=en&q=howto+floppy+disk+linux :P
[06:24] <NewWorld> RPG_Master:  It's just querying, cant hurt to search.
[06:25] <ardchoille> !lucid | bhundven
[06:25] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, fire up the live CD again and look at the partitions again
[06:25] <bhundven> right
[06:25] <NewWorld> Luke_:  what's above that? Not verbatim, just relevant brief stuff.
[06:26] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> Okay i got into another account and the right clicking function on the desktop worked like normal, but upon entering an error message was displayer it reads: "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet".
[06:26] <pepee> Ziggyzxxyl, it's easy to mount the floppy under linux...
[06:26] <steveness> i just made a new swap partition to the requirements, but how do i set it up for hibernation?
[06:26] <dgbc> there is not plone package for ubuntu? the one it has is missing some dependency
[06:26] <Luke_> the last line before the drm initalized drm..... is udevd-word{133}: /sbin/mobprobe -b acpi .....
[06:26] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale, I did this alredy and the partition shows as having 78GB now. The partition editor utility in the linux on the (resized) hard disk agrees.
[06:27] <Luke_> and now it is in runlevel3
[06:27] <NewWorld> Tatzelbrumm:  What was the error message?
[06:27] <Ubuntunewb> Hey, I'm trying to install Mac OSX as a guest OS with VirtualBox, anyone have any experience with that?
[06:27] <bhundven> NewWorld: I've been using the same install of debian unstable for a decade and am fairly comfortable using alpha versions of ubuntu. It just annoys me that a package can be released with missing dependencies.
[06:27] <bhundven> :(
[06:27] <NewWorld> Luke_:  What version of Ubuntu is this?
[06:27] <ardchoille> Ubuntunewb: we can't offer assistance with that as it's a copyright violation. Try another network.
[06:28] <dgbc> Ubuntunewb, i don't think that's possible.
[06:28] <Tatzelbrumm> NewWorld : I do not recall. anyhow, the partition seems to be fine, the linux ON the partition just didn't get the memo that it has a new size.
[06:28] <Luke_> 10.4 just got
[06:28] <Luke_> it
[06:28] <Ubuntunewb> how is it a copyright violation if I own the software?
[06:28] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, on what partition is 9.04 installed and what mount point did you give it? what does df tell you about the partition?
[06:28] <NewWorld> !lucid | Luke_
[06:28] <pepee> steveness, are you using ndiswrapper?
[06:28] <ardchoille> Ubuntunewb: yes, if you're isntalling it on non-apple hardware
[06:28] <steveness> pepee, i have no clue
[06:28] <Luke_> sorry Karmic Koala
[06:28] <stevebuntu> pepee do u mean me ?
[06:29] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: /dev/sda3
[06:29] <pepee> ohh sorry....
[06:29] <NewWorld> Luke_:  :/ 64bit 32?
[06:29] <RudyValencia> Ubuntunewb: Mac OS X is licensed only for installation on Apple hardware.
[06:29] <pepee> stevebuntu, yep
[06:29] <Luke_> 64
[06:29] <stevebuntu> ni i am not using the wrapper
[06:29] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: mounts to /
[06:29] <stevebuntu> no
[06:29] <Luke_> CPU is compatible!
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> Ubuntunewb:  with apple they claim you basically have only the rights they give you.
[06:29] <stevebuntu> im trying to get away from windowz :)
[06:30] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, you know how to use paste bin?
[06:30] <Luke_> and now its in x ALL BY ITS SELF
[06:30] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: $ df
[06:30] <Tatzelbrumm> Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on

[06:30] <Luke_> but nothing works
[06:30] <NewWorld> Luke_:  Wait lolwut.. it's in X now?!
[06:30] <Ziggyzxxyl> pepee: I've done that, I've been doing that for the past 8 hours and nothing has worked. I currently have a machine installing xp so my problem will be solved in about 1 or 2 hours.. I should have done this in the first place. mounting floppies in linux, I have discovered in impossible.
[06:30] <bhundven> Ubuntunewb: the only way I've been able to virtualize mac os x, is using parallels or vmware fusion on mac os x.
[06:30] <syrius> UBUNTUS
[06:30] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> Okay i got into another account and the right clicking function on the desktop worked like normal, but upon entering an error message was displayer it reads: "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet".
[06:30] <NewWorld> Luke_:  I thought you said it wouldn't boot....
[06:30] <Luke_> yes
[06:30] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: I don't know what paste bin is ... can you walk me through?
[06:30] <mezquitale> !paste
[06:30] <Ziggyzxxyl> is*
[06:30] <NewWorld> Luke_:  So what do yousee?
[06:31] <mezquitale> !pastebin
[06:31] <steveness> i just made a new swap partition to the requirements, but how do i set it up for hibernation?
[06:31] <Dr_Willis> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  that error is common. Its the fastuser (login/out) applet that gets confused. Its shouldent be criti8cal
[06:31] <ZykoticK9> UT '99 - settings from GUI not saving, tried with gksudo still not saving -- manually configured .ini file for resolution but having trouble setting w-a-s-d as movement keys.  Any suggestions?
[06:31] <Dr_Willis> steveness:  if its in the fstab file it should use it - i belive
[06:31] <pepee> stevebuntu, have you tryed reloading the driver of your card?
[06:31] <bhundven> Tatzelbrumm: http://www.pastebin.com  ... it should be pretty obvious.
[06:31] <Luke_> sometimes it boot gets stuck, sometimes it gets to white ubuntu symble and sometimes like right now im at the login screen but nothing works!
[06:31] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> okay cool but what about my desktop right clicking problem, can anyone point me in the right direction?
[06:31] <stevebuntu> several times it took 2 instals just to get it working
[06:31] <NewWorld> ZykoticK9:  Make sure the files have write permissions.
[06:32] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> it works in another account
[06:32] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> but this one ... nope
[06:32] <NewWorld> Luke_:  Switch to a terminal > Alt+CtrlF1
[06:32] <Dr_Willis> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  it works with 1 user not the other.. thus the problem user has a config issue/conflict. I would reset all he problem users settings
[06:32] <Ziggyzxxyl> I can mount floppy disks and format floppy disks but there is no way I can copy anything to them in linux.
[06:32] <steveness> Dr_Willis, .how do i know if it is
[06:32] <Tatzelbrumm> ok, pastebin up&running, now what?
[06:32] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, basically we ask you to run a command in your machine and you post the output in http:/paste.buntu.com, then you post the link on the channel so that we can see the output of the command, this is so that share with us multiple lines, if you attempt to paste multiple lines in the channel you will get kicked
[06:32] <Luke_> didn't accept!
[06:32] <Ubuntunewb> Ah... it appears its illegal to run it in a Virtual machine on anything but Leapard's server eddition, but that too needs to be on apple hardware... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/11/01/apple_allows_leopard_virtualization/
[06:32] <Dr_Willis> steveness:  look in fstab file for a swap entry. if not add one.
[06:32] <Ubuntunewb> well bullocks!
[06:32] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> Dr_willis how would I go about resetting these settings?
[06:32] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  You could replace the nautilus configuration files with the default ones created in the new user account.
[06:32] <steveness> Dr_Willis,  where is the fstab file
[06:32] <ZykoticK9> NewWorld, they are located in /usr/local/games so user does not have write permission (but the root thing didn't work either)
[06:33] <spartan07> having problem putting ubuntu on my P4. It has an old bios and I think it needs an EFI Partition to use the extended settings to be able to tweak it and install ubuntu. My questions is how do I create an EFI partition?
[06:33] <NewWorld> Luke_:  Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to kill X
[06:33] <Dr_Willis> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  they are various config files in your users home dir .gnome* .gtk* and stuff in .config - I often clean them all out. Some i do wantt o keep
[06:33] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, what is the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[06:33] <pepee> Ziggyzxxyl, sudo mount -o gid=1000,uid=1000 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy ??
[06:33] <Luke_> didnt work either
[06:33] <stevebuntu> i read the the new kernal has better drivers
[06:33] <rww> !dontzap | NewWorld, Luke_
[06:33] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale : to www.pastebin.com or paste.ubuntu.com
[06:33] <stevebuntu> its a samsung n130
[06:33] <Tatzelbrumm> ok will run the fdisk.
[06:33] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> okay.. that sounds plausible but im not so much familiar with the procedure as im quite new to Linux in general
[06:33] <pepee> stevebuntu, I have a problem with wireless drivers too
[06:33] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> Ive been using it for the past week
[06:34] <darolu> Ziggyzxxyl: what's the content of your /etc/fstab file?
[06:34] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  Is there a directory called '.nautilus' in your home directory?
[06:34] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> one sec ill check
[06:34] <pepee> stevebuntu, check: http://wireless.kernel.org/
[06:34] <meowbuntu> hi anyone ever used enlightenment wm on ubuntu
[06:34] <spartan07> live cds dont even boot to desktop and when I do an install it hangs at the beginning
[06:34] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> yes
[06:34] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, you almost got it, in paste bin youre supposed to paste the output from the command you ran, click on "Paste!", then you should get an URL, you want to copy that url and post it in the channel
[06:34] <abhi_nav> if i used tor on virtualbox guest ubuntu, then is it anonymos and safe as that of in normal host ubuntu???
[06:34] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> NewWorld Yes but theres nothing in it
[06:35] <NewWorld> :o
[06:35] <mezquitale> spartan07, what type of machine do you have? desktop/laptop? manufacturer and model
[06:35] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  In the new user's home directory are there any files in '.nautilus'?
[06:35] <pepee> Ziggyzxxyl, ls /dev/fd*
[06:35] <mezquitale> abhi_nav, yes
[06:35] <NewWorld> Luke_:  Did you manage to kill X server?
[06:35] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> NewWorld Do I have to login into that account to check?
[06:35] <abhi_nav> mezquitale: have u tried it urself?? any exprnce??
[06:35] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale, ok, here comes: http://www.pastebin.com/d946d690
[06:36] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  No, you can read the contents under root thorugh the terminal. can you do that?
[06:36] <steveness> how do i add a device to fstab
[06:36] <mezquitale> abhi_nav, yes
[06:36] <Luke_>  no i had to reboot im still wating for the kernel to pass me on to runlevel 3

[06:37] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  Accessories > Terminal
[06:37] <pepee> steveness, what kind of device?
[06:37] <Luke_> how can i enter runlevel 3 from kernel? if possible
[06:37] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> no I meant what do I type into the terminal to check the root
[06:37] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, did you boot into the machine?? what is the output of "df"?

[06:38] <spartan07> BIOS has an advanced settings greyed out in bios. I think its because it has no EFI partition. system rescue cd is the only cd that boots to desktop
[06:38] <abhi_nav> how to view each channel of this irc in diffrnt window? (NOT in diffrnt tabs!) I am using xchat
[06:38] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  type 'su [whatever the name of the new user is'  then 'cd ~'

[06:38] <pepee> stevebuntu, you can download new kernels from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[06:38] <mezquitale> abhi_nav, it all depends on the client youre using

[06:39] <Dr_Willis> some day there needs to be a 'reset gnome settings vack to normal' tool :)
[06:40] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  type 'who' does it show the new user account?
[06:40] <stevebuntu> command to see current kernal pls
[06:40] <ardchoille> Dr_Willis: I agree

[06:40] <pepee> steveness, gksudo /etc/fstab, and then put something like '/dev/sda5      none   swap    sw                               0       2'
[06:40] <stevebuntu> thx sucks getting old :(
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> during beta testing i tend to clean out my settings every week.
[06:40] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> NewWold No its does not show the other user
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> hal9k20101:  whats the exact problem
[06:40] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, if you boot up into your machine and run those commands we can find out
[06:40] <NewWorld> pepee:  steveness : gksudo gedit ........ etc
[06:41] <abhi_nav> mezquitable: and NewWorld: thnx both works detacha and ctrl + I
[06:41] <abhi_nav> mezquitable: and NewWorld: thnx
[06:41] <pepee> NewWorld, that is
[06:41] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  'su [new user name]' <<< no brackets
[06:41] <darolu> LINUXHELPNEEDED: type "ls /home" (without quotation marks) do you see the user there?
[06:41] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: I have already booted up into the machine ... in fact, I'm running IRC on it right now.
[06:41] <hal9k20101> after boot using live-nosplash-powerpc my desktop is flushed, colors are funky
[06:42] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, ok what is the output of "df"?
[06:42] <stevebuntu> i have installed remix can i still use the 32 generic ?
[06:42] <pepee> NewWorld, i'm using kde, forgot to  mention gedit :)
[06:42] <Dr_Willis_> http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/
[06:42] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: see http://www.pastebin.com/d2e0c2d8a
[06:42] <abhi_nav> mezquitable: and NewWorld: evrthng is fine. but why it shows #ubuntu-unregged in title bar of irc???
[06:43] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: fdisk says it has a 78GB partition, df thinks it has only 12GB, that's the problem.
[06:43] <abhi_nav> mezquitable: and NewWorld: i have identified my nick
[06:43] <pepee> stevebuntu, hmmm I don't think it is very different...
[06:43] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> 'su [new user name]' <<< no brackets This worked for me
[06:43] <NewWorld> abhi_nav:  Cause it's detached haha
[06:43] <abhi_nav> mezquitable: and NewWorld: what does that unregged mean??
[06:43] <pepee> stevebuntu, anyway, you can try
[06:43] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  now 'cd ~/'
[06:43] <Dr_Willis_> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/
[06:43] <hal9k20101> Dr_Willis    i dont know how to fix resolution
[06:43] <NewWorld> abhi_nav:  Are you running Xchat on Windows?
[06:43] <spartan07> any help would be appreciated
[06:44] <stevebuntu> true not like i haven't done a format and reinstal before
[06:44] <abhi_nav> mezquitable: and NewWorld: no ubuntu 9.04
[06:44] <abhi_nav> mezquitable: and NewWorld: no ubuntu 9.04 (ONLY) !!!
[06:44] <YankDownUnder> XChat runs on M$? Foowah...
[06:44] <Ziggyzxxyl> "/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0" is in my fstab file
[06:44] <NewWorld> abhi_nav:  Maybe your nick isn't registered on the IRC server?
[06:44] <abhi_nav> NewWorld: it is registered as per the process
[06:44] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> NewWorld that cd ~/ didnt do much
[06:45] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: did you get the fdisk and df outputs?
[06:45] <NewWorld> YankDownUnder:  Yah but you have to pay for it on Win, while on nix you don't :D
[06:45] <abhi_nav> NewWorld: i follow the process and also get the cnfrmation mail on my email
[06:45] <pepee> Ziggyzxxyl, ls /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0
[06:45] <YankDownUnder> NewWorld, PAY? Did you say PAY? Mate...that's a naughty word round these parts! :)
[06:45] <YankDownUnder> NewWorld, ...and I was just joshin mate...
[06:45] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  It should change directory to the new user's home directory. Type 'echo $PWD' to make sure
[06:45] <bhundven> abhi_nav: or you didn't identify with nickserv: /msg nickserv help
[06:45] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, boot up to live CD again, try resizing the disk again, this time remove like 5 or 10 megabytes
[06:45] <Losha> Tatzelbrumm: I'd like to see the fdisk and df outputs in a pastebin
[06:45] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> yes thats what it did
[06:46] <mezquitale> Losha, http://www.pastebin.com/d946d690 http://www.pastebin.com/d2e0c2d8a
[06:46] <mneptok> NewWorld: you do not *have* to pay for XChat on Windows.
[06:46] <abhi_nav> NewWorld: and bhundven: i have identified it properly /msg nickserv identify password
[06:46] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> NewWold yes im in the users directory
[06:46] <darolu> Ziggyzxxyl: change user for users, if you're mounting from terminal (with sudo) you will be able to access your floppy with root priviliges only
[06:46] <Ziggyzxxyl> pepee: ls just repeats those paths back at me
[06:46] <llutz> NewWorld: just use "pwd", shorter than "echo $PWD" ;)
[06:46] <abhi_nav> 'password' is not my password, ok?? :)
[06:46] <pepee> Ziggyzxxyl, ok
[06:46] <abhi_nav> ;)
[06:46] <Tatzelbrumm> Losha: http://www.pastebin.com/d2e0c2d8a http://www.pastebin.com/d946d690
[06:46] <mneptok> YankDownUnder: http://www.silverex.org/download/
[06:46] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  Are there any files in the '.nautilus' folder? type 'ls -al ~/.nautilus'
[06:47] <pepee> Ziggyzxxyl, just insert the floppy and then execute: sudo mount -a
[06:47] <lampliter> halp?  I just upgraded a machine and found jfs is no longer available.  can I rescue data without reloading an older version of ubuntu?
[06:47] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: Can I SHRINK an ext3 partition? I thought that was impossible...
[06:47] <NewWorld> abhi_nav:  I think this is more of an xchat issue :P They have a support chan I'm sure
[06:47] <AnAnt> how do I print to a file (out.ps or out.pdf) using lp ?
[06:47] <abhi_nav> NewWorld: and bhundven: I just want to make sure that though it is showing #ubuntu-unregged on title bar, i can use this irc channel as in normal case.
[06:47] <pepee> Ziggyzxxyl, after that: ls -l /media/floppy0
[06:47] <NewWorld> llutz:  Thanks for that tip :) didn't know that program existed
[06:47] <mneptok> lampliter: reboot to an older kernel from the previous insyallation
[06:47] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, off course you can
[06:47] <abhi_nav> which one is xchat support channel??
[06:47] <lampliter> Ta
[06:47] <NewWorld> abhi_nav:  You're using it normally now, right?
[06:47] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: and what happens with the data on it?
[06:48] <abhi_nav> yes
[06:48] <abhi_nav> haa haa
[06:48] <abhi_nav> :)
[06:48] <lampliter> mneptok: that means a full reinstall
[06:48] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> NewWorld Yes 2 files
[06:48] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  What files?
[06:48] <pepee> abhi_nav, that's MY password :P
[06:48] <mneptok> lampliter: no, it means "Press <ESC> to enter the GRUB menu"
[06:48] <Ziggyzxxyl> pepee: now it responds "total 0"
[06:48] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> drwxr-xr-x  2 bob bob 4096 2010-02-20 17:23 .
[06:48] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> drwxr-xr-x 25 bob bob 4096 2010-02-20 17:24 ..
[06:48] <spartan07> anyone know how to do an EFI partition?
[06:48] <Luke_> im in runlevel 3!!!!!!!!!!1
[06:48] <tatzelbrumm_> mezquitale: ok, IRC on the secondary computer is up and running ...
[06:48] <NewWorld> abhi_nav:  I'm sure if you google you can find Xchat suppot chan :)
[06:48] <abhi_nav> pepee: oh very funny
[06:48] <abhi_nav> pepee: :) :)
[06:48] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, i forgot to mention it, first back up your data just in case, you have plenty of free space in your scenario but just incase back up your data
[06:48] <NewWorld> Luke_:  I hear you say that before, but what does that mean lol?
[06:49] <darolu> abhi_nav: #xchat would be my guess
[06:49] <abhi_nav> NewWorld:you dont know??
[06:49] <spartan07> or have an idea why ubuntu might hang on install?
[06:49] <tatzelbrumm_> mezquitale: already done; I just want to avoid having to reinstall Mathematica etc.
[06:49] <abhi_nav> yes #xchat is xchat support channel it works
[06:49] <abhi_nav> thnx darolu
[06:49] <Luke_> it means im at the terminal
[06:49] <darolu> abhi_nav: no problem
[06:49] <pepee> Ziggyzxxyl, well, your floppy is mounted, but it have nothing on it...
[06:49] <lampliter> mneptok: I wiped the old install clean away nothing to select in grub except 9.10 kernels
[06:49] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  I think would help you> <Dr_Willis_> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/
[06:49] <tatzelbrumm_> I see what you mean, I should save the entire file system, not just my home directory ... will do.
[06:49] <abhi_nav> NewWorld: thnx
[06:50] <mneptok> lampliter: so boot to an older LiveCD session and mount the partition from there
[06:50] <NewWorld> Luke_:  'startx'?
[06:50] <Ziggyzxxyl> pepee: maybe so, but I still can't copy anything to it... same errors as usual
[06:50] <magn3ts> How do I stop ubuntu from trying to eject a disk. it keeps making my MBP do the eject disk thing. it doesn't sound healthy for my disc drive
[06:50] <lampliter> was also moving from x86 to amd64 systems
[06:50] <magn3ts> I'm really afraid something is going to break
[06:50] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> Okay thanks NewWorld and Dr_Willis_
[06:50] <Losha> Tatzelbrumm: Hmm. That's pretty scary. I agree with mezquitale. Backup anything valuable...
[06:50] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  yw hope it fixes everything :)
[06:50] <Luke_> ok im at the login screen but nothing works! mouse keyboard
[06:50] <spartan07> has anyone else had a similar problem?
[06:50] <pepee> Ziggyzxxyl, try sudo cp /etc/fstab /media/floppy0
[06:51] <magn3ts> please someone.
[06:51] <NewWorld> Luke_:  Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login.
[06:51] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, dont forget to back up your bookmarks and paris videos
[06:51] <NewWorld> magn3ts:  Does it eject randomly?!
[06:51] <meowbuntu> hi anyone ever used e17 wm on ubuntu
[06:51] <Luke_> doesnt work!!!!!!!!!!1
[06:51] <lampliter> maby a vm with raw disk mount might work
[06:51] <Ubuntunewb> luke: try restarting, if you havent already.
[06:51] <Luke_> my numlock wont even lightup
[06:51] <magn3ts> NewWorld, it just keeps trying to eject it as if I'm pressing the button constantly!!! its a macbook pro slot loading drive
[06:51] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: home directory and all my data is backed up. installed programs aren't.
[06:52] <NewWorld> Luke_:  DId you follow that wiki that said how to enable Ctrl+Alt+Backspace?
[06:52] <greezmunkey> Ziggyzxxyl, I had to step away...I tried pepee's advice, but the mount command doesn't seem to support those options. I can mount the floppy, and create files as (root)sudo, but that's as far as I have been able to do for now.
[06:52] <Ubuntunewb> luke: or power off, plug your keyboard and mouse into different ports, and start up again.
[06:52] <Luke_> tried couldnt get it to work
[06:52] <darolu> Ziggyzxxyl: what is the file system of your floppy?
[06:52] <Tatzelbrumm> ok changing computers now for IRC.
[06:52] <NewWorld> Okay restart but don't startx, we'll edit the xorg conf files
[06:52] <darolu> Ziggyzxxyl: meaning your disk
[06:52] <pepee> greezmunkey, you just have to mount it with permissions to your user...
[06:52] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, basically a back up should include anything you cannot replace, anything you can replace you shouldnt worry about
[06:52] <magn3ts> Can someone PLEASE tell me how to immediately disable my DVD drive?!
[06:52] <lampliter> mneptok: thanks for the help.  hated the answer but that is not your fault :-)
[06:53] <Luke_> hang on
[06:53] <pepee> greezmunkey, man mount, and then: /floppy
[06:53] <greezmunkey> pepee, I'm trying that now...
[06:53] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale ok trying to reboot this computer, I'm still on IRC as tatzelbrumm_
[06:53] <turbowei> does anyone know a way to sync karmic with samsung behold I?
[06:54] <NewWorld> magn3ts:  Can't you just not put the disc in?
[06:54] <mezquitale> turbowei, what is it that you want to sync?
[06:54] <spartan07> can anyone help me with an ubuntu install. ubuntu hangs when installing
[06:54] <NewWorld> spartan07:  at what point it does it hang?
[06:54] <turbowei> mezquitale, some pix on my behold.
[06:54] <spartan07> beginning
[06:54] <NewWorld> spartan07:  lol, specifically? What do you see and what just happened?
[06:54] <magn3ts> NewWorld, no, it just spits it back out
[06:54] <turbowei> mezquitale, I wanna transfer them onto karmic.
[06:54] <spartan07> before even the guided gui install comes up
[06:54] <calmsiva> need help in finding how to use empathy im
[06:54] <magn3ts> NewWorld, it finally stopped, hopefully not because it broke :/
[06:55] <Luke_> in root shell!!!!!!11
[06:55] <NewWorld> magn3ts:   :( well
[06:55] <pepee> greezmunkey, mount -o rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 /dev/ ......
[06:55] <llutz> Luke_: "Multiple exclamation (/question) marks are a sure sign of a diseased mind." [Terry Pratchett]
[06:55] <NewWorld> Luke_:  'nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf'   see anything?
[06:55] <spartan07> ubuntu white logo glows and after a while stops glowing doesnt move on from there
[06:55] <songer> hello
[06:55] <NewWorld> spartan07:  What version of Ubuntu?
[06:55] <mezquitale> turbowei, so the samsung behold I is like a pda?  you might want to head on to the forums for that one, it took me forever to figure out how to sync my contacts on my htc mogul but i had to use the forum
[06:55] <NewWorld> problem, songer?
[06:55] <calmsiva> read the gnome notes on empathy - but could not figure out how to use empathy
[06:55] <Luke_> well i do have asbugerz
[06:56] <spartan07> no live cds run and installs dont work. have tried, ubuntu 9.10, 9.04, LTS and LTS text install
[06:56] <calmsiva> i want to use it like skype - is it possible
[06:56] <songer> does anybody know why vlc goes bad with avi?
[06:56] <Luke_> i see a blank screen with nano pulled up!
[06:56] <songer> NewWorld,  do you know?
[06:56] <pepee> spartan07, alternate?
[06:56] <NewWorld> songer:  I had soo many problems with VLC wow, well what version is it?
[06:56] <spartan07> live cds dont get to desktop. says kernal loading then on the older versions the progress bar fills 1 tenth and stops
[06:57] <turbowei> mezquitale, mind sharing your experience? How did you sync your mogul with ubuntu?
[06:57] <spartan07> alt doesnt work
[06:57] <NewWorld> Luke_:  Maybe xorg is elsewhere. Quit nano. 'updatedb' then 'locate xorg.conf'
[06:57] <calmsiva> any help in finding a better manual on empathy
[06:57] <darolu> spartan07: Next time you boot a LiveCD try the "test memory" option, it may be physical damage of your RAM modules.
[06:57] <spartan07> text installs but doesnt boot
[06:57] <pepee> Ziggyzxxyl, ?
[06:57] <spartan07> it installs and runs windblows fine
[06:58] <songer> NewWorld,  4.4.1
[06:58] <NewWorld> spartan07:  So you installed it but doesn't boot? Or you want to boot into LiveCD environment now?
[06:58] <llutz> NewWorld: there's no xorg.conf by default, it's not needed in most cases. if you need to make changes, create one
[06:58] <mezquitale> turbowei, i used the forum? i cant sync data on the micro sd card unfortunately but I was able to sync contacts and anything else on main me mory
[06:58] <NewWorld> songer:  VLC doesn't go that far up.
[06:58] <Luke_> fiund it /usr/share/man/man5/xorg.cong.5.gz   sounds like a man file though
[06:58] <spartan07> text install installs but doesnt boot after install, live cd encv does not get to desktop
[06:58] <songer> NewWorld, 1.0.2, sorry
[06:58] <llutz> Luke_: there's no xorg.conf by default, it's not needed in most cases. if you need to make changes, create one
[06:58] <turbowei> mezquitale, which subforum (category) should my question go in?
[06:58] <NewWorld> llutz:  okay Luke_ : 'Xorg configure'
[06:58] <MilitantPotato> I installed the netbook remix, I didn't like the desktop system that came with it, so I disabled it.  Now I have no icons on my desktop, how do I fix this?
[06:59] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> So what do I delete to reset my ubuntu settings? http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/
[06:59] <mneptok> NewWorld: /etc/X11/xorg.conf is a stub file as of 9.10
[06:59] <bhundven> NewWorld: on some new installs with video hardware that 'just works' (intel) you don't get an xorg.conf: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1340780
[06:59] <mezquitale> turbowei, dont post a question, search - most likely someone figured it out by now
[06:59] <pepee> spartan07, what do you see when you boot your machine? can you see "grub"?
[06:59] <MilitantPotato> In Xfce4 I have desktop icons, so it has to be a gnome setting...
[06:59] <Dr_Willis> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  did you7 read the guide?  several directories like .gnome and .gconf are normally what i delete
[06:59] <mneptok> MilitantPotato: what icons do you want?
[06:59] <spartan07> grub gives me error 15 after text install
[07:00] <Luke_> it didnt recognise the configure
[07:00] <MilitantPotato> mnemonikk: the files in ~/Desktop
[07:00] <NewWorld> mneptok:  bhundven : lol so how do we configure X server now then?!
[07:00] <songer> and i love xbmc but audio is not clean
[07:00] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[07:00] <NewWorld> Luke_:  What was the error it spit out?
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  you could 'move' the .directorys they say to remove. Move them to 'Backups' or somthing
[07:00] <mezquitale> turbowei, your device is a phone?
[07:00] <pepee> spartan07, how many disks and partitions do you have?
[07:00] <Dr_Willis> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  there ya go..
[07:00] <bhundven> xorg -configure  -- will dump what xorg finds to xorg.conf.new in your home directory.
[07:00] <bhundven> NewWorld:
[07:00] <Luke_> hang on
[07:00] <NewWorld> songer:  Best I can suggest is to backup and remove the '.vlc*' configuration directories.
[07:00] <pepee> greezmunkey, ?
[07:00] <spartan07> right now 1 partition. I want to install linux on the whole HDD
[07:01] <calmsiva> thanks sir
[07:01] <NewWorld> bhundven:  Right I told him 'xorg configure' no dash, maybe that's why.
[07:01] <pepee> spartan07, that sounds strange....
[07:01] <songer> ok, and what can i do with xbmc?
[07:01] <spartan07> I went in with rescue cd and formated to ext4
[07:01] <greezmunkey> pepee, there's more to it than that apparantly, still mounts as root (???)
[07:01] <bhundven> ;)
[07:01] <pepee> greezmunkey, very strange...
[07:01] <NewWorld> songer:  Wait so what exactly happens with the AVI files?
[07:01] <greezmunkey> pepee, I will try creating my own mount point and let you know...
[07:02] <pepee> greezmunkey, -o user,defaults,noauto
[07:02] <songer> movie player plays avi very well
[07:02] <spartan07> I think because it is an old bios I need an EFI partition to open up some advanced config settings on the bios which right now are greyed out
[07:02] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> I dont have .Gnome or .Gnome2 but I have .Gnome2_private
[07:02] <NewWorld> songer:  They use different engines.
[07:02] <songer> NewWorld, vlc with avi audio goes pausing
[07:02] <Luke_> fatal server errot:  unrecognisedoption: configure
[07:02] <Luke_> fatal server error:  unrecognised option: configure
[07:02] <pepee> greezmunkey, obviously unmount before remounting...
[07:02] <MilitantPotato> My desktop isn't showing the files in ~/Desktop after I removed the Netbook-remix desktop, how do I make gnome show them?
[07:03] <NewWorld> songer:  What you mean goes pausing?
[07:03] <bhundven> Luke_: Xorg -configure
[07:03] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> neither do I have .gconf and .metacity
[07:03] <airtonix> LINUXHELPNEEDED, correct name for the gnome2 folder in your home folder is : ~/.gnome2 (all lowercase)
[07:03] <spartan07> and Im hopeing once I do that I can set the acpi settings and maybe that will do it but Im not sure
[07:03] <turbowei> mezquitale, yah
[07:03] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  How are you checking that? Terminal or the nautilus file browser?
[07:03] <turbowei> mezquitale, a rather old model.
[07:03] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> dont have .gnome .gnome2 .metacity .gconf
[07:03] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> nautilus file browser
[07:04] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  Press Ctrl+H to show hidden files.
[07:04] <spartan07> right now I have no kind of settings for that in bios and I have researched the ubuntu forums and they say to change some of those settings
[07:04] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> I have that option active already
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  that site ngave the exact command to u7se  to remove the dirs
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> run that command.. logout/back in see if it works
[07:04] <pepee> spartan07, what if you install another linux distro and install ubuntu from there?
[07:05] <pepee> spartan07, is complicated, but you learn some things....
[07:05] <xfact> I have one portable drive that I want to encrypt with password to keep my private stuffs, how to do that on Ubuntu?
[07:05] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> this one? rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[07:05] <spartan07> tried mint, #!, fedora, and knopixx
[07:05] <songer> NewWorld, the audio is going pausing
[07:05] <spartan07> all hang
[07:05] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  While you're in your home direcotyr, yes
[07:06] <NewWorld> songer:  Do you know if you're using ALSA or PulseAudio?
[07:06] <spartan07> im usig ubuntu on this machine now and is my distro of choice
[07:06] <stevebuntu> pepee Same version is already installed but uname -r shows 2.6.31-20-generic
[07:06] <stevebuntu> ?
[07:06] <pepee> spartan07, have you tryed installing from wubi?
[07:06] <spartan07> no I have not
[07:06] <spartan07> awesome idea
[07:06] <NewWorld> =D
[07:06] <pepee> stevebuntu, dpkg -l | grep linux-
[07:07] <bhundven> spartan07: or unetbootin
[07:07] <spartan07> I totally forgot about that option
[07:07] <pepee> stevebuntu, dpkg -l | grep linux-  | grep "2.6.32"
[07:07] <mneptok> spartan07: are you familiar with messing with your BIOS?
[07:07] <xfact> Any ways to make my portable drive private (encrypted) with password?
[07:07] <llutz> xfact: ecrypt, truecrypt  you should find howtos at forums
[07:07] <spartan07> yes
[07:07] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> how do i get into the home directory through terminal?
[07:07] <MilitantPotato> mnemonikk: I sorted it out, gconf-editor apps>nautilus>preferences
[07:07] <Luke_> ok it outputted To test server run 'X -conig /xorg.conf.new"
[07:07] <mneptok> spartan07: and to be clear, you get a GRUB error 15?
[07:07] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale : ok while I'm rsyncing my root directory to an external disk ... I understand you want me to reboot onto the CD, and then?
[07:07] <spartan07> messed around with it long enough to make ubutnu run on this x58 i7
[07:07] <spartan07> yes
[07:07] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  'cd ~'  << ~ is shortcut for  home dir
[07:07] <Dr_Willis> this is when its a good time to suggest reading a few bash tutorials..
[07:07] <xfact> llutz: ok looking
[07:08] <songer> NewWorld, how can i know that?
[07:08] <bhundven> Luke_: or just 'sudo cp ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf' (without quotes) and 'sudo restart gdm'
[07:08] <NewWorld> songer:  What ubuntu version are you using?
[07:08] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> I tried that but it doesnt do anything
[07:08] <ZykoticK9> LINUXHELPNEEDED, NewWorld and even faster way to get to your home directory is to type "cd"
[07:08] <pepee> spartan07, or just install it in another machine...
[07:08] <songer> karmic
[07:08] <songer> NewWorld,
[07:08] <spartan07> ??
[07:08] <mneptok> spartan07: go into the BIOS and see if the IDE/SATA devices can be put in RAID mode. whatever the setting is now, change it to the other option. this will have Linux try to load the AHCI driver, which may result in your disks being recognized.
[07:08] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  Type in 'pwd' to print working directory, to see if you're in the right home directory.
[07:09] <askhader> If I remove alsa using synaptic and then re-install it- will it be a totally fresh slate of alsa?
[07:09] <pepee> spartan07, with your hdd on it
[07:09] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> yes im in home
[07:09] <NewWorld> ZykoticK9:  :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *mind blown*
[07:09] <bhundven> Luke_: if it fails, put the results up on pastebin from /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:09] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> but this command does nothing rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[07:09] <spartan07> brb let me see if I have those settings
[07:09] <pepee> ZykoticK9, hahah
[07:09] <NewWorld> askhader:  No, you would have to do 'Completely Remove' and that might not remove everything anyway.
[07:09] <stevebuntu> ii  linux-image-2.6.32-020632-generic     2.6.32-020632                              Linux kernel image for version 2.6.32 on x86
[07:09] <stevebuntu> ii  linux-source-2.6.32                   2.6.32-020632                              Linux kernel source for version 2.6.32 with
[07:10] <pepee> stevebuntu, reboot your machine
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  bash 101 - if a command dosent print an error,. it basically worked
[07:10] <airtonix> ...
[07:10] <askhader> NewWorld: So how would I go about doing this? Perhaps completely removing and recompiling from source?
[07:10] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, reboot into the live CD and then resize your ext3 partition, take away like 4 to 10 megabites and then reboot again into the hard drive
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  log out/baqck in and see if it worked
[07:10] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  type 'ls -al ~/' and upload output to www.pastebin.com
[07:10] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: ok, after I've backed up my root directory. rsync is running, and will probably run for some 10 min.
[07:11] <stevebuntu> xchat how do i save this channel ?
[07:11] <NewWorld> askhader:  Why do you want to recompile from source? Can't you just get the stable packages from the repo?
[07:11] <NewWorld> stevebuntu:  What you mean save? And what IRC client?
[07:11] <spartan07> no raid mode but extended configuration is greyed out and says not used
[07:11] <askhader> NewWorld: Well sound refuses to work on my HP laptop intel-hda card on karmic
[07:11] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> NewWorld whats that for?
[07:11] <stevebuntu> bookmrk
[07:11] <stevebuntu> favorite
[07:11] <bhundven> stevebuntu: you should probably 'sudo update-grub' before rebooting. just to make sure grub has your new kernel.
[07:11] <stevebuntu> xchat
[07:11] <pepee> stevebuntu, just write /join #ubuntu after connecting to the server
[07:12] <mezquitale> askhader, why would you want to remove alsa?  If sound does not work it will not work by reinstalling, you have to configure it
[07:12] <NewWorld> LINUXHELPNEEDED:  You can't find the directories you have to delete. 'ls' lists the files in a directory. If we could see it we could point you to the right folder.
[07:12] <mneptok> spartan07: well, see if you can enable that, and see if the setting is there.
[07:12] <greezmunkey> pepee, I created a mount point in my home dir as a test, mounted the floppy, and then accessed with Nautilus. I could right click, and get an option to create a folder or document (didn't do that before), but clicking one of those options fails (permission denied)! Wierd.
[07:12] <NewWorld> stevebuntu:  You would have to add from XChat > Network List
[07:12] <LINUXHELPNEEDED> http://www.pastebin.com/d5f948940
[07:13] <pepee> stevebuntu, network list, select freenode, edit, favorite...
[07:13] <askhader> mezquitale: I screwed around with a patch and may have broken alsa =]
[07:13] <NewWorld> askhader:  as normal user run 'alsamixer' in terminal. Use 'M' to unmute the right channels.
[07:13] <askhader> NewWorld: I've tried the usual troubleshooting
[07:13] <askhader> NewWorld: Nothing takes. It's a known issue for my laptop series.
[07:14] <spartan07> I think I need to create an EFI partition to enable that section of the bios. The issue is I dont know how to make an EFI partition. Rescue cd and gparted do not have an option for that
[07:14] <greezmunkey> pepee, you know what...I use thumbdrives anyway, and they work - I'm bailing on the floppy!
[07:14] <pepee> greezmunkey, sudo chown -R /media/floppy0 ?
[07:14] <askhader> NewWorld: It was submitted to the bugzilla but karmic has yet to patch it.
[07:14] <mezquitale> askhader, if you want to reinstall alsa go ahead but it may do more harm than good, you will have to do manual configuration
[07:14] <pepee> greezmunkey, sudo chown -R -your_user- /media/floppy0 ?
[07:14] <NewWorld> askhader:  And you couldn't find a workaround?
[07:14] <spartan07> is there a rescue distro that has those kind of options?
[07:14] <greezmunkey> pepee, I could try it...brb
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> spartan07:  you sure you dont mean an efi partition table?
[07:14] <llutz> greezmunkey: sudo mount -o remount,uid=1000,rw /dev/fd0
[07:15] <scadfux> hi how i get to the ubuntu support IRC??
[07:15] <NewWorld> scadfux:  you're here. ask away.
[07:15] <spartan07> I thought efi was just for apple but I read in the forums that the bios uses it for more config settings
[07:15] <scadfux> ahok
[07:15] <stevebuntu> k wish me luck :)
[07:15] <drcode> hi all
[07:15] <llutz> pepee: don't use chown/chmod for non-unix filesystems. it won't work in most cases
[07:15] <scadfux> I got a kernel problem
[07:15] <Dr_Willis_> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table
[07:15] <NewWorld> problem, drcode?
[07:15] <spartan07> maybe thats it.
[07:15] <mneptok> !info refit > spartan07
[07:15] <drcode> I try to upgrade from ubuntu 9.04 into 9.10 , it say that I need to add universe.
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> spartan07:  i recall on a NEW unpartione3d hd - that gparted asked me once what type of partion table to use. I think efi was an option
[07:16] <drcode> but where to had it?
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> spartan07:  but i may be wrong
[07:16] <pepee> spartan07, try ubuntu lucid
[07:16] <NewWorld> drcode:  Start Menu > System > Administration > Sources? Something like that?
[07:16] <spartan07> i just ran gparted and I didnt see it
[07:16] <pepee> (10.04)
[07:16] <spartan07> wow, thats available, good idea
[07:16] <MHz128> What mp3 player has graphical visualizations(plugins) for Ubunut?
[07:16] <llutz> !lucid > spartan07
[07:16] <Cappy> anyone alive here?
[07:17] <baal-amiga> re
[07:17] <pepee> spartan07, no idea if it will support it...
[07:17] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: as I'm seeing the list of everything on my linux installation ... can I delete /lib/modules subdirectories of older kernels than, say, the last 3 ones?
[07:17] <NewWorld> Tatzelbrumm:  I did that, cause I didn't need them and there was no problme.
[07:17] <greezmunkey> llutz, dude...just when I was about to give up...That worked! It was the uid=1000 that did it!
[07:17] <ljsdofuynsdfufuh> hey guys, ubuntu 10.04 just detected a raid system automatically that I couldn't get to work in other distros automatically - do you guys have any idea what it is doing in order to setup dmraid?
[07:17] <pepee> thanks llutz , didn't know it
[07:18] <syn-ack> MHz128: first, its Ubuntu and second, Rhythmbox does
[07:18] <bhundven> ah. llutz heh, I'm in the wrong chan. thanks.
[07:18] <mezquitale> Tatzelbrumm, that is a different issue that you will have to ask someone else, first fix your hard drive and then do as you wish
[07:18] <qwer> or is it using the linux kernel reaid at first?
[07:18] <llutz> greezmunkey: read man mount   for non-unix fs mount options
[07:18]  * greezmunkey bows to llutz, Obama waiting to do same
[07:18] <mneptok> qwer: /join #ubuntu+1
[07:18] <scadfux> when starting the Ubuntu, linux 2.6.31 - 19 it says [2.438226] kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root FS on unknown -block(8,5)
[07:19] <spartan07> ok guys im gonna try lucid and the wubi install I'll be back. thanks for the great ideasd
[07:19] <pepee> spartan07, /join ubuntu+1 ad ask them
[07:19] <pepee> /join #ubuntu+1
[07:19] <llutz> spartan07: anddon't cry if it breaks
[07:19] <drcode> I got this "You might see a note that support for some applications ended"
[07:19] <pepee> llutz, haha
[07:20] <spartan07> lol, I wont. I'll be happy if I get anything
[07:20] <scadfux> hello?
[07:20] <drcode> can I just skip it?
[07:20] <pepee> hello scadfux
[07:20] <Guest79791> hdparm -Tt /dev/sd[ab] what does this do?
[07:20] <NewWorld> scadfux:  You should check the filesystem for errors. DO you know how to do that?
[07:20] <scadfux> nop
[07:21] <scadfux> this is my firt experience with linux
[07:21] <scadfux> so how do i get there
[07:21] <pepee> Guest16997, man hdparm
[07:21] <llutz> Guest79791: performs something like a disk-benchmark
[07:21] <NewWorld> scadfux:  The easiest method would be to boot into the LiveCD and check it from Gparted. Can you boot into the LiveCD environment?
[07:22] <scadfux> i got the 2.6.31 - 19 version completely blocked i`m working from the 2.6.31 -17 version
[07:22] <Cappy> folks, ive been asking in #ubuntu-server but the folks there have gone quiet.
[07:22] <Cappy> im trying to get wifi working on a server install
[07:22] <NewWorld> Cappy:  What card model?
[07:22] <greezmunkey> llutz, ok, that's great - but I read that file changes are queued to floppy drives, and that those changes are written when the drive is umounted. Where should I look to cause the drive changes to be written immediately?
[07:22] <Cappy> its a ralink card.
[07:23] <llutz> greezmunkey: sudo mount -o remount,uid=1000,rw,sync /dev/fd0
[07:23] <Cappy> i have wireless-tools installed and i have the card associated to my network with wpa2 turned off (open network)
[07:23] <Semitones> hey -- are there any diagnostics I can run to see if my hard drive is ok (not failing or anything)
[07:23] <llutz> greezmunkey: "sync" option
[07:23] <scadfux> sure but how i get to the live CD in firt place?
[07:23] <greezmunkey> llutz, sync option?
[07:23] <greezmunkey> llutz, got it!
[07:23] <Semitones> I've been getting really high "wait" percentages when update manager runs
[07:23] <llutz> greezmunkey: it's a mount option
[07:23] <Semitones> and it's started today
[07:23] <greezmunkey> llutz, trying that now..
[07:24] <NewWorld> scadfux:  Do you have Gparted installed on this older kernel version?
[07:24] <llutz> greezmunkey: you can manually force syncing, using "sudo sync" at commandline
[07:24] <NewWorld> Cappy:  if you type 'ifconfig' on that machine does it show something like 'wlan0'?
[07:25] <scadfux> I dont think so
[07:25] <scadfux> this is chinese for me
[07:25] <Cappy> not when i do ifconfig, but i get the info when i do iwconfig
[07:25] <llutz> Cappy: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up && sudo dhclient wlan0
[07:25] <scadfux> NewWorld: like i`m really new on this
[07:25] <greezmunkey> llutz, would that be recommended, especially when using usb jump drives?
[07:26] <NewWorld> scadfux:  Is it a fresh install?
[07:26] <scadfux> NewWorld: how i get to the gparted in first place
[07:26] <scadfux> yep
[07:26] <llutz> greezmunkey: i prefer to mount with "sync". it minimizes danger of data loss
[07:26] <scadfux> linux and win7
[07:26] <NewWorld> scadfux:  What ubuntu version? Maybe Gparted won't help solve the problem after all
[07:27] <Scugnizzo> Buongiorno a tutti
[07:27] <scadfux> I unistalled the Amarok and then i defraged the disk by windows
[07:27] <scadfux> and now it doesnt work
[07:27] <Cappy> llutz, thanks a bunch, now it works
[07:27] <scadfux> 2.6.31 - 19
[07:27] <llutz> greezmunkey: if you often have to deal with floppies, look at mtools
[07:28] <NewWorld> scadfux:  0.0 how can you defrag from Windows? Check what version you downloaded.. 8.10 or 9.04 ,etc
[07:28] <scadfux> oh and also i tried to make an upgrade but it doesnt wants to connect to the server
[07:28] <greezmunkey> llutz, will do thanks.
[07:28] <NewWorld> scadfux:  How can you make an upgrade if ubuntu won't even boot because of the kernel panic?
[07:28] <scadfux> Ubuntu 9.10
[07:29] <scadfux> before it happened
[07:29] <NewWorld> scadfux:  sorry what did you defrag exactly?
[07:29] <scadfux> NewWorld: is this a big problem?
[07:29] <NewWorld> scadfux:  No, cause it's a fresh install and you can just re-install :)
[07:29] <Cappy> llutz, i have an address from my router, but i cant ping out, anything else you can suggest?
[07:30] <greezmunkey> llutz, If I edit /etc/fstab do I need to restart for the changes to work?
[07:30] <llutz> Cappy: check nameservers/route
[07:30] <llutz> greezmunkey: only if you want automount things
[07:30] <scadfux> I used the Smart defrag from Iobit.com and defragged the disk where were the ubuntu
[07:30] <Cappy> llutz, sorry to be a pain, but where am i looking to check them? what am i looking for?
[07:30] <scadfux> ok
[07:31] <asdff> Would anyone by chance know how to append a command usually invoked with a colon in vim to the .vimrc? EG; adding :NERDTree to the .vimrc?
[07:31] <NewWorld> scadfux:  What did you defrag?
[07:31] <scadfux> the X:\ disk
[07:31] <llutz> Cappy: "host www.google.com"  "sudo route -n"  look for G in a line, showing the gateway
[07:31] <NewWorld> scadfux:  What is on that disk?
[07:32] <scadfux> NewWorld: the ubuntu but I did it by Win7
[07:32] <jeff420> good day to all :) .. I am unable to use /dev/video0 in mythtv ... I just followed this nice url for the pvr 150 happu card http://hyams.webhop.net/mythtv/myth_ubuntu.html
[07:32] <NewWorld> asdff:  There's a VIM chan on freenode I think :)
[07:32] <asdff> haha kk man cheers
[07:32] <scadfux> there are also some music...
[07:32] <llutz> Cappy: "grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf"  should show you at least one valid dns-ip
[07:32] <scadfux> so I reinstall?
[07:32] <NewWorld> scadfux:  You can't defrag the linux partition like that. That's what ruined it probably, just reinstall
[07:32] <scadfux> ok
[07:33] <scadfux> may I reinstall it by the windows common unistaller?
[07:33] <NewWorld> scadfux:  wubi?
[07:33] <jeff420> but as it has been I am still not able to view video or live tv in myth .. I can post mythbuntu log grabber if some would take a look at the video part ?
[07:33] <scadfux> and what i do when I wanna defrag linnux?
[07:33] <scadfux> yep
[07:33] <NewWorld> scadfux:  The way it's built, you don't need to defrag it. It doesn't fragment.
[07:33] <Cappy> llutz, i did 'host www.google.com" and got a connection timed out error
[07:33] <scadfux> linux*
[07:33] <jeff420> pray ..:)
[07:34] <scadfux> ah nice
[07:34] <moatt> i wanna make it so my mouse can scroll when i hold down on the scroll wheel, how?
[07:34] <llutz> NewWorld: wrong
[07:34] <scadfux> so I unistall by wubi and reinstall on a separated partition?
[07:34] <NewWorld> llutz:  I tried to pick my words carefully there, I knew some lawyer would break my statements apart xDD
[07:34] <llutz> scadfux: you cannot defrag ext-filesystems, you'd have to copy it to a fresh filesystem
[07:35] <llutz> NewWorld: tbh, it is definetly an urban legend that ext-fs won't fragment
[07:35] <NewWorld> scadfux:  Don't you want to reinstall to the same partition? Just format it and reinstall there.
[07:35] <scadfux> ?????
[07:35] <scadfux> no i have more stuff on that partition
[07:35] <NewWorld> Back it up :)
[07:35] <greezmunkey> llutz, yeah, I have to restart. I added the sync option, and uid option in fstab.
[07:35] <scadfux> ou shait
[07:36] <llutz> greezmunkey: no restart needed
[07:36] <scadfux> ok
[07:36] <moatt> i wanna make it so my mouse can scroll when i hold down on the scroll wheel, how?
[07:36] <scadfux> and how do i hear music on linux that is on a windows partition?
[07:36] <NewWorld> Make pigs fly and it will happen moatt :)
[07:37] <moatt> ....
[07:37] <scadfux> ?
[07:37] <scadfux> ok
[07:37] <moatt> system>prefrences>now what?
[07:37] <scadfux> thx bye?
[07:37] <greezmunkey> llutz, I issued another mount command, and recieved an error. "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock yadda yadda yadda
[07:37] <NewWorld> scadfux:  In the file browser in linux, on the left yo uwill see the windows partition.
[07:37] <darolu> moatt: depending on the app, you can do it via plug ins; i.e. epiphany has a neat one
[07:37] <octavio> scadfux- an easy solution would be to copy your files onto a portable hard drive, and just play it while logged into Linux. But thats a lazy solution...
[07:37] <NewWorld> moatt:  I don't think it's as simple as that at all :(
[07:37] <darolu> !patience | moatt
[07:38] <USERofLINUX247> Hi can I run gnomenu on ubuntu 9.10?
[07:38] <ardchoille> moatt: gnome doesn't have anything like that for general use afaik
[07:38] <greezmunkey> llutz, maybe it didn't like the uid=1000 option...I'll check, thanks!
[07:38] <llutz> Cappy: sudo route -n|grep G
[07:38] <scadfux> yep but it doesnt open the files on the host file
[07:38] <NewWorld> scadfux:  the host file?
[07:38] <llutz> greezmunkey: paste that fstab-line here please
[07:38] <moatt> SO
[07:38] <moatt> Wait, when I click on the scroll wheel
[07:38] <moatt> usually I can drag the screen aroung
[07:38] <moatt> usually I can drag the screen around
[07:38] <scadfux> yeah?
[07:38] <moatt> now I can't....
[07:38] <NewWorld> scadfux:  what is a host file?
[07:38] <scadfux> its written host
[07:38] <scadfux> on the file
[07:39] <scadfux> and it takes to the other files on the same disk
[07:39] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: yes, you can add it to your panel by right clicking on it; Alt+F1 works too... I think
[07:39] <NewWorld> scadfux:  What is this file and how is it relevant? :S
[07:39] <scadfux> just forget it
[07:39] <scadfux> ...
[07:39] <scadfux> ok
[07:39] <scadfux> now i gonna format my disk
[07:39] <NewWorld> Wait
[07:40] <NewWorld> Didn't you say you have stuff there you wanna keep?
[07:40] <scadfux> tell me
[07:40] <jeff420> what is this person doning .. ..
[07:40] <scadfux> yep
[07:40] <NewWorld> So don't format... back it up.
[07:40] <llutz> !enter | scadfux
[07:40] <scadfux> and u told me to make the backup
[07:40] <NewWorld> Yeah, do that before the format
[07:40] <greezmunkey> llutz, had to get it here: /dev/fd0/media/floppy0msdosrw,uid=1000,noauto,utf8 0 0
[07:41] <scadfux> ah ok.
[07:41] <NewWorld> Make sure to backup the 'host file' it sounds important.
[07:41] <llutz> greezmunkey: some spaces/tabs missing....
[07:41] <greezmunkey> llutz, insert spaces in the usual places...
[07:41] <USERofLINUX247> How to I install a .tar.gz file?
[07:41] <Jonz> has anybody ever found the terminal application acts as if the ctrl key is constantly pressed down? This only happens in Terminal, not any other application..
[07:41] <scadfux> yep i gonna do it but then i need to format right?
[07:41] <greezmunkey> llutz, I'll redo.
[07:41] <greezmunkey> /dev/fd0/media/floppy0msdosrw,uid=1000,noauto,utf8 0 0
[07:41] <greezmunkey> /dev/fd0/media/floppy0msdosrw,uid=1000,noauto,utf8 0 0
[07:41] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: before you do that, have you checked the repos to see if the app is already there?
[07:42] <greezmunkey> yikes...
[07:42] <scadfux> so backup and format...
[07:42] <llutz> greezmunkey: :D is ok
[07:42] <NewWorld> scadfux: Yeah once you've backed up your files format that partition. And reinstall Ubuntu.
[07:42] <ardchoille> !away > meowbuntu
[07:42] <greezmunkey> llutz: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 msdos rw,uid=1000,noauto,utf8 0 0
[07:42] <llutz> greezmunkey: change "msdos" into "auto"  and try again
[07:42] <greezmunkey> there
[07:42] <USERofLINUX247> in synaptic? YEs
[07:42] <meowbuntu> anyone here used e17 on ubuntu
[07:43] <scadfux> NewWorld: thx NewWorld a lot of work to keep the linux working.
[07:43] <magn3ts> How can I mount my external drive so that it doesn't enforce permissions?
[07:43] <NewWorld> scadfux:  Np, hope it works out :)
[07:43] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: a .tar.gz is a container+compressing format, similar to zip or rar
[07:43] <scadfux> Bye!!
[07:43] <NewWorld> see ya
[07:43] <greezmunkey> llutz, worked with msdos there, the thing I added was uid=1000, but I'll try...
[07:43] <USERofLINUX247> okay so i extracted it to a file on my desktop, how would I go about installing it?
[07:44] <USERofLINUX247> also my background changed after extracting the file to desktop
[07:44] <NewWorld> USERofLINUX247:  Use a terminal and 'cd' inside the extracted folder.
[07:44] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: first, extract the contents of it, then (if available) run the binary file; if there is no binaries you will need to compile the source code.
[07:44] <USERofLINUX247> (i dont have multiple wallpapers)
[07:44] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: sounds like you might have nautilus running as root
[07:45] <USERofLINUX247> ardchoille, is that a problem?
[07:46] <USERofLINUX247> Do i need to install gnome to get gnomenu to run?
[07:46] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: nautilus manages the desktop wallpaper and icons. and afaiac nautilus shouldn't be run as root, it's better to learn how to use the cli with sudo
[07:46] <USERofLINUX247> gnome in the synaptic manager
[07:46] <ZykoticK9> Has aRTS sound server been completely removed?  If I have a game giving me error about libartsc.so.0, should I just forget about it?  The game is UT2004-64bit-demo (I have UT2004 32bit working fine)
[07:46] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: if you are running Ubuntu (not Kubuntu nor Xubuntu) you already have gnome and the gnome menu installed.
[07:47] <greezmunkey> llutz, that's wierd, changed to "auto" tryed to open "file.txt" got an option box stating that "file.txt" is an executable text file, run in term, display contents, etc !!
[07:47] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: you need gnome panel running in order to be able to add the gnomenu applet, yes
[07:47] <USERofLINUX247> im running ubuntu but in synaptic it shows I dont have gnome installed
[07:47] <Ubuntunewb> whats Kubuntu and Xubuntu?
[07:47] <greezmunkey> llutz, that's funny - executable text file... :D
[07:47] <darolu> Ubuntunewb: it is Ubuntu with different desktop environment
[07:47] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: that's normal, you have the package called ubuntu-desktop installed, that's the normal ubuntu desktop
[07:48] <llutz> greezmunkey: all will be executable, if that bit is set
[07:48] <USERofLINUX247> should I install gnome?
[07:48] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: no
[07:48] <USERofLINUX247> thats in the synaptic manager
[07:48] <greezmunkey> llutz, I think I'll try vfat and see what happens...
[07:48] <USERofLINUX247> oh okay
[07:48] <USERofLINUX247> so how would i learn to use cli with sudo? what does that mean?
[07:48] <drcode> I am looking for good desktop recorder , where I can put also notes and so, under linux
[07:48] <ardchoille> !sudo | USERofLINUX247
[07:49] <ardchoille> !bash | USERofLINUX247
[07:49] <harleypig> -!- <Boricua> any one know if there is a psx emulator that emulates burned cd's?
[07:49] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: did you enable the root account? are you logged into your desktop as root user?
[07:50] <jeff420> can not view live tv in myth  ..can capture video live with VLC player as pvr:// under the card settings
[07:50] <b14ck> Quick question. I'm on 9.04 server. What command can I use to apply system updates (not only package updates)? I've been using aptitude upgrade to do package updates.
[07:50] <jeff420> can any one help me get it working in myth please
[07:50] <NewWorld> harleypig:  what ones have you tried?
[07:51] <MilitantPotato> j
[07:51] <jeff420> b14ck, I believe    sudo apt-get update
[07:52] <ardchoille> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade  # to update everything
[07:52] <jeff420> b14ck,  sorry did not read the end of that .
[07:52] <zzz_> b14ck: If you would like to upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu, e.g. 9.10, then have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading See the section for Ubuntu Servers.
[07:52] <greezmunkey> llutz, If anything, this has been a learning experience! vfat didn't change that, but at least the drive is useable now!
[07:52] <b14ck> Won't dist-upgrade just remove packages?
[07:52] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: https://launchpad.net/gnomenu download the 2.4 version (is the file you probably downloaded inittially) when you extract it, a README.txt file is created, READ IT, you'll find installation instructions there.
[07:52] <ardchoille> b14ck: it updates the system
[07:52] <b14ck> ardchoille, gotcha
[07:52] <b14ck> thanks
[07:52] <ardchoille> yw
[07:53] <MilitantPotato> sudo apt-get install love was disappointing.
[07:53] <USERofLINUX247> thanks darolu :)
[07:53] <magn3ts> How can I mount my external drive so that it doesn't enforce permissions?
[07:53] <magn3ts> or so that regular users can access all files regardless of the octal permissions
[07:53] <MilitantPotato> magn3ts: fstab?
[07:54] <blinkiz> We are about to set up a new virtualization platform at my work. It will contain a 35TB disk server and two virtualization servers that has 2xquad CPUs and +24GB RAM. Live migration should work between these two servers. I need some advice how to set this up. Disk server will probably be using LVM where each guest has a logical volume. One of my questions is, how do I make the virtualization servers see my LVM on the disk server? It's not optimal t
[07:54] <blinkiz> o create one iSCSI LUN for each logical volume. Then I need to do this manual each time. Is this a must? Any recommendations?
[07:54] <darolu> !fstab | magn3ts
[07:54] <cbx> Does ubuntu need a swap partition?
[07:54] <NewWorld> cbx: nope
[07:55] <NewWorld> cbx: It's recommended though, especially if you have low ram.
[07:55] <cbx> 1 Gb of ram on a dell laptop
[07:55] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: uhhh .... why are you downloading source when you could use a PPA? - https://launchpad.net/~gnomenu-team/+archive/ppa
[07:55] <darolu> cbx: technically you can run without it, but you should create one with at least 512MB
[07:55] <MilitantPotato> cbx: if you're hibernating, having more than your memory is a good thing
[07:55] <mneptok> cbx: if you ever want to have a prayer of hibernating, yes.
[07:56] <cbx> ah yes, I forget that
[07:56] <pepee> I'm trying to resize a ntfs partition...
[07:56] <mneptok> cbx: 1.5GB to be sure you can hibernate
[07:56] <cbx> stupid gparted won't let me create a an extended / logical partition for some reason
[07:56] <ardchoille> mneptok: very good point
[07:56] <pepee> BUT ntfsresize says that there are bad sectors...
[07:56] <syn-ack> Then there probably are
[07:56] <USERofLINUX247> mneptok because im not sure what im doing! LOL thanks ill get that instead
[07:56] <pepee> the hdd is new
[07:56] <cbx> pepee: try running chkdisk in windows
[07:56] <NewWorld> cbx: You are limited to 4 primary partitions per hardrive. An extended partition is counted as a primary one, but you can create unlimited amount of logical parititons in the extended parititon.
[07:57] <b14ck> When I try to do an aptitude upgrade I get the following error: http://pastie.org/833967 Any idea how to fix?
[07:57] <maurizio> jgjhgg
[07:57] <pepee> cbx, same on windows
[07:57] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: add the PPA to your sources. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gnomenu
[07:57] <magn3ts> fstab is definitely not what I'm looking for. the options there would help but that page doesn't answer the question. I know how to use fstab
[07:57] <cbx> NewWorld: I have space for 2 primary partitiions, one is for a windows install, [2 are already used up with date :| ] I'd like to create an extended one, but gparted won't let me
[07:57] <pepee> BUT the partition was "moved" from a desktop pc using dd and netcat
[07:58] <USERofLINUX247> W: Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  403  Forbidden
[07:58] <USERofLINUX247> whats up with that line?
[07:58] <NewWorld> cbx:  date?
[07:58] <darolu> magn3ts: then read "man mount" and use the options you need on your fstab file...
[07:58] <pepee> so I don't know if really there are problems with this hdd
[07:58] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: you're using Edgy?
[07:58] <magn3ts> darolu, I don't want it in fstab >_<
[07:58] <NewWorld> pepee:  chkdsk doesn't complain?
[07:58] <USERofLINUX247> whats edgy?
[07:58] <cbx> NewWorld: date? of the gparted release?
[07:59] <magn3ts> also I already read !fstab !partitions the man page and googled for 20 minutes
[07:59] <cbx> USERofLINUX247: check your sources
[07:59] <darolu> magn3ts: then mount manually each time you want to mount your device
[07:59] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: were you here before as another all-caps NEEDSHELP nick?
[07:59] <NewWorld> cbx:  "[2 are already used up with date :|" << what does your HDD look like in terms of partitions?
[07:59] <magn3ts> every where says use "gksudo nautilus" which is NOT the right answer to the problem
[07:59] <USERofLINUX247> how do i check sources?
[07:59] <USERofLINUX247> yes
[07:59] <USERofLINUX247> mneptok that was me
[07:59] <pepee> NewWorld, nope, but it says "72 kB of files in bad sectors"
[07:59] <cbx> NewWorld: Data...
[07:59] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: can i be 100% honest with you? and you won;t take it personally?
[07:59] <cbx> pepee: so tell chkdisk to fix those errors
[07:59] <syn-ack> magn3ts: I don't mean to come to the party late but what is that you're trying to do?
[07:59] <USERofLINUX247> no i wont take it personally say what you have to say
[08:00] <pepee> cbx, /f /r ? i did that
[08:00] <cbx> pepee: defragmenting in windows should help too
[08:00] <pepee> i did that too
[08:00] <NewWorld> pepee:  Can't you use another program apart from Gparted?
[08:00] <magn3ts> syn-ack, I'm trying to mount an external hard drive and have ubuntu ignore the chmod/owner of the files on the drive
[08:00] <MilitantPotato> pepee: use the software your disk manufacturer provides for hard drive diagnostics, if that says there's bad sectors, return the drive.

[08:00] <pepee> NewWorld, i'm not using gparted..
[08:00] <greezmunkey> llutz, well all of the now works on the laptop, now for this machine!
[08:00] <pepee> fdisk, cfdisk, ntfsresize
[08:00] <NewWorld> pepee:  What are you using?
[08:00] <NewWorld> Oh
[08:00] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: you're obviously new to the Linux world. and you're trying to use custom apps, install additional software sources, recofigure the system. you have a LOT of motivation, but none of the background skills.
[08:00] <magn3ts> !umask
[08:00] <greezmunkey> s/the/that
[08:00] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: you're trying to run before you can walk.
[08:01] <syn-ack> magn3ts: you can't ignore the file permissions for, for one, permissions are inode based not file based and two if you'd like to automount the drive, you add the entry to fstab
[08:01] <pepee> I can rely on the info from chkdsk/ntfsresize?
[08:01] <syn-ack> magn3ts: period.
[08:01] <USERofLINUX247> LOL your quite right about that! maybe I have some scissors in my hand also
[08:01] <cbx> How does ubuntu hibernate if you install it thru wubi?
[08:01] <pepee> is my new hdd that bad? :(
[08:01] <cbx> it creates a pagefile
[08:01] <cbx> ?
[08:01] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: stop trying to tweak the bejebus out of your system, and just *use* it for a while. learn the basics. find your way around. then start changing default apps and the default look and feel.
[08:01] <NewWorld> USERofLINUX247:  HAHAHAH Scissors x'D
[08:01] <magn3ts> USERofLINUX247, why on earth do you have edgy sources in your sources.list
[08:01] <cbx> lol
[08:02] <cbx> Don't bash him
[08:02] <zzz_> brico: Is language-pack-en installed?
[08:02] <USERofLINUX247> I have no idea magn3ts
[08:02] <NewWorld> cbx:  Hibernates to the swap file
[08:02] <zzz_> brico: sorry, wrong nick.
[08:02] <magn3ts> oh my freaking god. I appreciate the help but I've specified like 6 times that I don't want this automounted or in my fstab. I'm gonna go figure this out myself.
[08:02] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: i say this not to deride you, but because i want you to learn to love Linux. and i think you're just setting yourself up for frustration.
[08:02] <pepee> again, the partition was moved through the lan... using dd and netcat
[08:02] <valentinex> how to install a .bin file?
[08:02] <cbx> NewWorld: ah, so it'll create a swap file innit? Can't I create a swap *file* instead of a partition?
[08:02] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: here is the easy way -> click on System - Admin - Software Sources; there click the "other software" tab, then click on Add; and paste this: ppa:gnomenu-team/ppa IF you are using Karmic (Ubuntu 9.10)
[08:02] <syn-ack> magn3ts: I never told you to automount, I merely said IF
[08:03] <syn-ack> if you DONT want automount, then I suggest you man mount
[08:03] <zzz_> b14ck: Is language-pack-en installed?
[08:03] <NewWorld> cbx:  I've never heard of that being done, maybe Google it
[08:03] <cbx> I'm just going to do a wubi install then
[08:03] <syn-ack> magn3ts: especially if you're gonna have that tude with me.
[08:03] <cbx> 3 systems to install windows and linux on
[08:03] <magn3ts> syn-ack, I know. I'm getting frustrated. I already read the man page and it didhn't help. I'm almost 100% positive there is a way to do this with umask but I'm having a heck of a time with google
[08:03] <NewWorld> USERofLINUX247:  If you're not on edgy, the packages that edgy repo will provide won't install on your system.
[08:03] <syn-ack> magn3ts: which fs are you trying to mount?
[08:03] <magn3ts> hfsplus
[08:04] <pepee> cbx, use virtualbox and then clone the hdd
[08:04] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: thanks for listening. as always, what i said is just one man's opinion. take it for what it's worth. and if you ask my wife, it ain't worth much, brother. ;)
[08:04] <syn-ack> magn3ts: is the hfs kernel module loaded?
[08:04] <magn3ts> syn-ack, yeah I can mount it okay but I can't access my /Users/<me> because I don't have permission in ubuntu
[08:04] <pepee> with vbox and you can repair windows after accessing it from the physical partition...
[08:04] <zzz_> b14ck: ?
[08:04] <pepee> *vbox and linux
[08:05] <valentinex> now my turn guys help me now how to install a .bin file
[08:05] <mneptok> valentinex: what is the file?
[08:05] <greezmunkey> Speaking of cloning HDDs, is dd a viable option for that?
[08:05] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: after that (and reloading your list), go to System - Admin - Synaptic and search for gnomenu and check it to install (right click the empty box)
[08:05] <valentinex> jdk, java development kit
[08:05] <Tatzelbrumm> mezquitale: my backup is FINALLY complete. Booted from CD. Now what? Installer or run ubuntu off the CD?
[08:05] <USERofLINUX247> LOL, thanks for the help! I will take your advice and start learning the basics
[08:06] <valentinex> mneptok: ^
[08:06] <Ubuntunewb> Valentinex: right click the .bin file, click the partitions tab, and check the box "allow to execute as a program"
[08:06] <mneptok> valentinex: the one in the repos won;t suit your needs?
[08:06] <jadakren> how do i prevent my IP and ISP showing up when i connect to an irc channel ?
[08:06] <greezmunkey> USERofLINUX247, first one: DOn't tell ANYONE here your a n00b!
[08:06] <llutz> jadakren: ask at #freenode for a cloak
[08:06] <Ubuntunewb> valeninex: permissions tab, not partitions tab... >.>
[08:06] <pepee> valentinex, chmod +x *.bin; ./-name_here-.bin
[08:06] <pepee> ?
[08:07] <USERofLINUX247> Oh right so if I add those sources then it gives permission browse their packages
[08:07] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: which ubuntu versio are you running?
[08:07] <USERofLINUX247> 9.10
[08:07] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: yes, add the ppa:gnomenu-team/ppa to access the gnomenu package
[08:08] <pepee> hmm please, help me
[08:08] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: ok, if you add sources for any other version (ex. jaunty sources, hardy sources), you're gong to have problems later
[08:08] <mneptok> USERofLINUX247: you will not be able to use apt or Synaptic until you fix the broken edgy reference in your sources.list
[08:08] <ardchoille> that's what I was talking about :)
[08:09] <ardchoille> USERofLINUX247: you need to stick with karmic sources and only karmic
[08:09] <pepee> I can't believe my new hdd has bad sectors
[08:09] <darolu> USERofLINUX247: Go to System - Admin - Software Sources; in the 'other software' tab you can add the ppa I gave you and disable the edgy ones mneptok told you
[08:10] <USERofLINUX247> Aha I see it now
[08:11] <USERofLINUX247> http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org edgy was the one to disable
[08:11] <USERofLINUX247> and the 2 karmic ones were to be activated

[08:13] <syn-ack> yeah, its emerald now. :D

[08:19] <llutz> darolu: imho it just wastes ressources and has no positive effect on the workflow. so, imho, useless "cool and hip" stuff. </ot)
[08:19] <syn-ack> pepee: that doesnt mean that disk in its entirety is going to go bad. a lot of brand new disks have a couple bad sectors on them. I would keep an eye on it and just make sure it doesnt get worse
[08:20] <darolu> llutz: I also use the switch workspace a lot, hitting the top right corner of my screen, useful when running fullscreen VM's
[08:20] <syn-ack> pepee: in the mean time, what I would personally do is go out and get a spindle of DVDs and get a proper backup in

[08:29] <axon> hello out there, in fact i have two problems - but maybe they are connected: 1st: something with my sound configuration is wrong: i can't use a microphone (if i try, i got a very bad result - with a non-satisfaiable record) 2nd changing the brightness of my monitor doesn't work with the Fn-keys (i'm allready using the panel-applet for this thing) - Now i found accidentally that this two things works under older version of linux. even under some of this small v
[08:29] <axon> ersion (like puppy and dsl) it seems to work - thats why i installed an older kernel. my big brother told me that is maybe has to do with the drivers of my mainboard ... how can i find out which driver my mainboard is using? how can i change it? ... do you have better explanations for my problems? - need help
[08:29] <meowbuntu> hi i cant install svn on ubuntu its changed its name what is the new app name
[08:29] <Mean_admin> in a terminal, I have to type in "sudo mediatomb" to start a video streaming app. I'd like to have it start on boot... how should I proceed ?
[08:29] <syn-ack> pepee: please be careful with that took since it can cause data loss if not used correctly. Please carefully read the directions on the site before you run it
[08:29] <pepee> ok, i'll

[08:34] <sd> hi
[08:35] <axon> has no-one any idea?
[08:35] <fauzie> help ... emergency. My HD is almost dead. I'm trying to move my data to an external Hard Drive, but the external HD is not detected. It worked just an hour ago.
[08:35] <moatt> darolu didn't work
[08:36] <darolu> axon: your microphone problem may be solved by adjusting your input-volume
[08:36] <axon> @ fauzie : what's about lsusb?
[08:36] <darolu> moatt: go to youtube and try to watch a video, if you can watch it you're set
[08:36] <darolu> axon: lsusb list all your usb devices
[08:37] <fauzie> axon: trying
[08:37] <axon> darolu : no - i allready tried ...
[08:37] <fauzie> axon: i don't understand the output of lsusb ...
[08:37] <darolu> axon: did you try with alsamixer (command line)?
[08:37] <axon> darolu ... yes i'm telling him --- because he  wants to detect an external harxddrive ...
[08:37] <axon> yes
[08:37] <axon> @ darolu yes
[08:38] <axon> @darolu do you have some special tipps for me?
[08:39] <Tatzelbrumm> I still have a problem resizing an ext3 partition under 9.04 ubuntu.
[08:39] <argothian> hello, can I ask for help with redirecting connection to free vpn PacketiX? I am foreign student in China and want to access restricted websites
[08:39] <fauzie> Maybe this? -> Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1686:007f
[08:39] <darolu> axon: sry about the lsusb I read your comment and thought you were asking; tips, uhmm well first you need to determine if your microphone works fine elsewhere, it might be damaged, about your keyboard function keys, I am not familiar with that kind of keyboards but I'll try to find docs about them
[08:40] <Tatzelbrumm> Problem: If I enter sudo resize2fs /dev/sda3 , I get back: Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/sda3' first ... which I just did before, with no error messages. What's going on?
[08:40] <MrCatEye> hello
[08:40] <dayo> how to i delete a symbolic link without deleting the target, when the link has the same name as target and is in same directory?
[08:40] <axon> @ darolu : yes, because under ubuntu 5.04 the microphone is working ...
[08:42] <llutz> dayo: same name as target/same dir? imho impossible
[08:42] <darolu> axon: is this what you're looking for regarding your keyboard? http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Hardware/Microsoft_Keyboard_Function_Key_Fix
[08:43] <jpalex> !list
[08:43] <MrCatEye> dayo - maybe try "unlink"
[08:44] <darolu> axon: you can try installing xbindkeys for your keyboard issue: sudo apt-get install xbindkeys xbindkeys-config
[08:44] <dayo> MrCatEye: it wasn't even the same name. i was looking at the wrong column lol
[08:45] <MrCatEye> :)
[08:47] <fauzie> crashed ....
[08:47] <MrCatEye> now I have a question, I installed "klavier" (Screenkeyboard) an I added an entry to the "startmenu", but it seems, that this programms needs sudo rights to work properly
[08:48] <fauzie> I've disconnected all of the usb device but the external HD. Now lsusb shows only 4 entries with ID 0000 : 0000
[08:48] <MrCatEye> so how to make ubuntu asking me for the pw

[08:48] <Bhuvi> how to make a script execute some commands when system event has occured eg:such as laptop switches from mains to battery
[08:50] <Xaero252> I have a (hopefully) simple nvidia graphics question; I have the nvidia drivers installed, and two monitors, however when I set it to seperate X screens it complains about restarting X, so I switch to Terminal 1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and do sudo killall gdm-binary, and the do sudo gdm; however the changes don't occur. am I missing something dumb?
[08:51] <fauzie> axon: I plug it to another outlet, it's ON !!! :D
[08:51] <llutz> MrCatEye: if really needed, start it with "gksu klavier"
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> Xaero252:  save changes to xorg.conf -> use 'sudo service gdm restart' is what i normally do
[08:51] <greezmunkey> Does Live-CD contain gparted?
[08:51] <MrCatEye> llutz thanks found it on google a minute ago
[08:51] <Xaero252> Dr_Willis: thanks, I'll try it out now
[08:51] <rww> greezmunkey: yes
[08:52] <jake__> hi, i just installed lampp and i need to copy over a php file into my htdocs folder, but it says i dont own that folder so it will not let me paste. help.
[08:52] <jake__> says nobody group root
[08:52] <axon> darolu : i installed the programm you proposed ... it looks very fine (exept the getkey funtion provoce an error ... but thats ok)... thank you for that ... do you know if there is any command-line tool to change the brightness of an laptop-screen? at the moment i'm using "Bildschirmhelligkeits-Applet 2.22.1" (but don't kno how to remote this from the terminal)
[08:53] <greezmunkey> rww, I want to be able to clone voicemail system HDDs, I figure I can add a second drive, boot into live CD than go from there; does that sound about right?
[08:53] <axon> @fauzie :  so everything is fine ?
[08:53] <linucks> jake__, you may need to do it with 'sudo' and then set the correct permissions
[08:53] <argothian> Hi there, I have installed free vpn PacketiX service, tried sudo ifconfig vpn_0, sudo dhclient vpn_0, then again ifconfig... I gain adress for client, but then i cannot acces internet. Im beginner please help
[08:53] <jake__> then what use is the file browser if you cant copy paste?
[08:54] <MrCatEye> jake__ - yes and If not already done do it on the console
[08:54] <scorpo> Hello, if I want to run a webserver (ie LAMP package) is there any benefit to using Unbunto server edition or is the regular desktop version fine?
[08:55] <tulu> hi all! Does Totem run mms stream? Pls, anyone answer me! Srr 4 my bad English
[08:55] <darolu> axon: sorry, I have no idea how to do that from cli
[08:55] <linucks> jake__, there may not be read permissions set on the file, the file manager will work like the shell; if you don't have permissions to read that file then you won't be able to read it and there isn't much that can change it apart from changing the permissions if you happen to be the owner of that file
[08:55] <MrCatEye> jake__ - with nautilus it won't work (as far as I know, becaus u have to start nautilus with sudo rights to gain access to "root-protected" files & folder)
[08:56] <jake__> ahh
[08:56] <MrCatEye> jake__ - so it is easier to do it with the console
[08:56] <llutz> scorpo: running it just as a server? then it's better to use -server or minimal-install
[08:56] <linucks> jake__, try running the command 'gksudo nautilus'
[08:56] <linucks> then try doing your copy.
[08:56] <MrCatEye> like in good old DOS times :)
[08:57] <llutz> MrCatEye: DOStimes never had been good :)
[08:57] <linucks> but jake__, as MrCatEye said you could use the console and go 'sudo cp /path/to/file /path/to/intended/copy'
[08:58] <scorpo> llutz: I want to run a webserver (along with MySQL, PHP etc), and also be able to use the machine as a linux desktop to learn about linux. But I don't need the computer to share files/applications with other computers, which is what I understand a regular "server" does.
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> scorpo:  use desktop ed then
[08:58] <greezmunkey> !lamp
[08:58] <llutz> scorpo: "server" just means, a machine serves data, in any form/protocol. for your task, destop-install should be fine
[08:59] <scorpo> llutz, Dr_Willis, & ubottu: thanks guys.  I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something as I'm new to the webserver thang.
[08:59] <scorpo> and new to the linux thing too ;)

[09:21] <Dr_Willis> !vpn
[09:21] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis, I want to upgrade my home partition. It's a lowly 20MB drive now, so it looks like I can boot from a live CD after installing a bigger drive, then use gparted to copy it.
[09:22] <greezmunkey> s/20MG/20GB
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> greezmunkey:  thats easially done.
[09:22] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis, yea, looks like it!
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> greezmunkey:  no need to really use a live cd either. Plug in new hd. Mount /newhome to it.. copy /home over.. rmount it as /home
[09:23] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis, after formatting of course, right.
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> of course...  gotta format befor ya can even mount

[09:35] <Mean_admin> I'm having a hell of a trouble in getting windows 7 to see a samba share... anyone got hints ?
[09:35] <NewWorld> Hey :) I think you should check your drive for file-system errors. What filesystem is on the drive?

[09:36] <RPG-Master> NewWorld, How would I go about doing that?
[09:36] <greezmunkey> Mean_admin, run smbpasswd in a terminal, and setup a user for your Win7 box...
[09:37] <Mean_admin> greezmunkey: yeah I have a smbuser and it matches local machine user
[09:37] <Dr_Willis> sudo smbpasswd -a username
[09:37] <Mean_admin> greezmunkey: problem is win7 sees share, just wont connect "cannot access" says it
[09:38] <NewWorld> RPG-Master:  Make sure it's unmounted(!!! important). Then 'e2fsck -fv [drive location]' << will scan for errors. Add the -y switch to that command to fix the errors

[10:29] <RPG-Master> is there a way to set fsck to -y after starting it without?
[10:30] <llutz> wie|het|my|nick: sudo chmod 775 /etc/squid
[10:30] <NewWorld> RPG-Master:  I wish there was but couldn't find a way. I just put something heavy on the enter key lol

[10:30] <edqnag> HI, i installed NWN but i cannot run it or remove it since it sais i dont have permision, what should i do, thank you!
[10:30] <NewWorld> RPG-Master:  If after a while 'Enter' doesn't work anymore, press 'y' and vice versa.
[10:31] <NewWorld> Cowrix:  You need to partition your hardrive. Boot into the LiveCD. And use the Gparted program to make a new partition for Ubuntu.
[10:31] <RPG-Master> NewWorld: Hey, if I'm getting ALLOT of inode error being fixed... does that mean I'm going to find all my files in the lost+found folder?

[10:32] <llutz> wie|het|my|nick: it never has been 644 by default
[10:32] <NewWorld> RPG-Master:  Hmmm not so sure, I was recovering all my files from a crash just yesterday. Lost patience with holding Enter (too many inodes) and found _some_ files to be in Lost+Found.
[10:33] <llutz> wie|het|my|nick: ls -ld /etc/squid

[10:33] <wie|het|my|nick> llutz - ls /etc/squid ??
[10:33] <candyban> feros, perhaps I forgot something ... you can revert by removing the # on the original line and adding a # in front of the new lines ...
[10:34] <llutz> wie|het|my|nick: ls -ld /etc/squid
[10:34] <NewWorld> RPG-Master:  It was so effed up I couldn't even mount it. Had to use 'R-Linux' from a Windows environment to recover what was left, so I'm not really sure of what happened heh :/

[10:34] <wie|het|my|nick> llutz - what is it youre trying to say?
[10:34] <candyban> feros, you can keep the new lines, but put a # in front of it
[10:34] <RPG-Master> NewWorld: BUT WERE THE FILES OK? Sorry, I'm kinda freaking out right now :(
[10:35] <feros> oke,
[10:35] <candyban> feros, and remove the # in front of the original line

[10:35] <llutz> wie|het|my|nick: what's the output of that command

[10:37] <NewWorld> RPG-Master:  You should try R-Linux before you 'change' anything to be safe.

[10:50] <ircuser> how can i update only a particular repository in ubuntu for update to a particular package and not entire source list?
[10:50] <candyban_> feros, can you add "options snd-hda-intel model=hp-dv5" .... perhaps that should be sufficient for you
[10:51] <edqnag> did i just extracted the file and need to do something else to install it?

[10:54] <nathan7> d4n1s: Compile it with g++.
[10:54] <d4n1s> where I could download that?
[10:54] <wie|het|my|nick> llutz - if you set permissions for a dir, does it not count for the files listed in then too?
[10:54] <NewWorld> edqnag:  is there a file in the folder called 'INSTALL' or 'README' the instructions are there.
[10:54] <llutz> wie|het|my|nick: only if you use -R

[11:02] <RadicalDreamer> Any help about that?
[11:02] <greezmunkey> Oivey, will the target pc boot from a thumb drive, and do you have one?
[11:03] <meowbuntu> hi is there an app that can scan and detect hdd for bad sectors and fix them etc
[11:03] <pyrosoft> exit
[11:03] <Keal> I am in the .ru channel, but I an rusty on russian and only have a US102 :(
[11:03] <NewWorld> meowbuntu:  what filesystem?
[11:03] <Oivey> greezmunkey:  the pc is usb bootable, but i have no thumb drive, only a usb HDD
[11:04] <greezmunkey> Oivey, can you burn a bootable CD?
[11:05] <Oivey> greezmunkey:  i have no cd drive, thats why im attempting the usb thing
[11:05] <anonymous> meowubuntu: well, I have jaunty, but I think in karmic
[11:05] <anonymous> there is one tool to check hdd
[11:06] <greezmunkey> Oivey, then your option is to make the usb hdd bootable. It should be doable.
[11:06] <anonymous> it's called palimpsest disk utility  i think
[11:06] <Keal> :( bbl
[11:07] <meowbuntu> NewWorld,  ext 2,3,4 i think my hdd has bad sectors or blocks
[11:07] <NewWorld> meowbuntu:  Use e2fsck, there's also fsck
[11:07] <Oivey> greezmunkey:  right, thats what im trying to do.
[11:08] <RadicalDreamer> I have a problem with my wireless card. It stopped working. In lshw it looks "disabled".
[11:08] <RadicalDreamer> Seems the logical name of the card is wmaster0, but on iwconfig I see only an association to wlan0.
[11:08] <anonymous> meowbuntu: You must unmount the disk first (in fsck)
[11:08] <RadicalDreamer> Can anybody help me?
[11:09] <meowbuntu> yes the disk is not mounted
[11:09] <anonymous> ok so try fsck
[11:10] <Gryllida> RadicalDreamer, this is the first thing that comes to my mind: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkDevices#Wireless%20networking
[11:10] <anonymous> hey meowbuntu: you can see this if you're in jaunty and you don't have palimpsest

[11:13] <greezmunkey> Oivey, look here under "The CD Approach": https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[11:13] <johngilbrough> My problem with 8.04 is that it won't do an apt-get of tomcat6
[11:14] <greezmunkey> Oivey, there are several steps, but it looks like it will work.
[11:15] <greezmunkey> Oivey, I ment The CD Image Approach, sorry!

[11:34] <nexsja> hello, i've got an SVN related question. I know there's plenty of manuals on the net, i've honestly wasted an hour or so before resorting to this. I can't get it to work. I've create a repository in ~/svn/, and want to create a working directory in ~/repos/somedir. Any straightforward guideline on that?
[11:34] <edeca> nexsja: #svn ?
[11:34] <nexsja> there's a channel for that too, huh
[11:34] <edeca> nexsja: But basically, you need to svn checkout file:///path/to/repo
[11:34] <hsr> erUSUL:??
[11:35] <erUSUL> hsr: just like you did... maybe the ftp server is not storing the files where you think it should ? if the ftp client shows the file being copied and you see it in the server via the ftp client i think that the error is elsewhere
[11:35] <newbie> hello
[11:35] <hsr> no i didn't even find the file via ftp client....
[11:36] <nexsja> edeca, umm... thanks, that worked. So, then if i understand correctly, there has to be a repository for each project, right?
[11:36] <newbie> I cannot find my cdrom in computer window, anyone can help plz?
[11:36] <nexsja> newbie, did you insert a disc into your drive?
[11:36] <edeca> nexsja: That's up to you.  Personally I like 1 repository per project
[11:36] <edeca> nexsja: But really, #svn are a great help for that sort of question
[11:37] <nexsja> edeca, okay, thank you :>
[11:37] <newbie> nexsja, yes I did
[11:37] <Moat> Any good talking clients like MSN that work for ubuntu? any music players?
[11:38] <nexsja> newbie, is there anything on that disc?
[11:38] <newbie> nexsja, yes it has my printer driver
[11:38] <nexsja> Moat, Pidgin/XChat And rhythmboxx for music
[11:38] <erUSUL> Moat: try the defaults. Aplications>Internet ; Aplications>Multimedia
[11:38] <nexsja> newbie, are you trying to install your windows printer drivers on a linux box?
[11:39] <newbie> nexsja, I did try that because I cannot find the CDrom itself
[11:40] <nexsja> newbie, you could try and go to /media/cdrom
[11:40] <nexsja> or cdrom0/cdrom1 maybe it just wasnt mounted
[11:41] <nexsja> as far as i know every data carrying device you plug into your linux box ends up in /media/ :>
[11:42] <newbie> nexsja, when i go to /media I find three icon for cdrom one is a shortcut and one is cdrom0  the last is cdrom1
[11:42] <nexsja> did you try them?
[11:43] <newbie> nexsja, yes i try them but its empty folders

[11:45] <SolarisBoy> newbie type 'sudo mount /dev/cdrom'
[11:45] <dawid> siema
[11:46] <SolarisBoy> given its in fstab previously that would work
[11:46] <SolarisBoy> if not 'sudo mkdir /media/cdrom && sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom'

[11:52] <SolarisBoy> and you can simply type 'sudo mount /dev/scd0' replacing whatever the name of your device is
[11:52] <SolarisBoy> Cappy: sweetness
[11:53] <newbie> SolarisBoy, I sent you /ect/fstab on pvt
[11:53] <SolarisBoy> ok
[11:54] <SolarisBoy> Cappy: hmm lots of options you have, is that enterprise version encryption?

[12:23] <issyl0> Hi everyone. Can I change the hostname of my laptop from laptop to laptopone ?
[12:23] <edeca> issyl0: /etc/hostname
[12:23] <mathieu__> change it in /etc/hostanme
[12:23] <issyl0> edeca, mathieu__, thanks :)
[12:24] <ainicute> ae
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> Guest79791:  the use of hdparm is getting mor eand more obsolete with changes to the ide/sata subsystmes. Ive not had to use that in ages.
[12:24] <Myrtti> issyl0: you need to change it in /etc/hosts too
[12:24] <PianoPete> edeca: don't forget to reboot
[12:24] <SolarisBoy> Dr_Willis: true indded
[12:24] <Gryllida> can a hostname be changed with GUI, without commands?
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> Guest79791:  itts possible the hdparm command you are using is not giving true info.
[12:24] <edeca> PianoPete: I need to reboot?
[12:24] <issyl0> Myrtti: OK :)
[12:25] <issyl0> Done.  Now I reboot and it is laptopone, right ?
[12:26] <edeca> issyl0: Or /etc/init.d/hostname.sh
[12:26] <mathieu__> issyl0 or try a /etc/init.d/network restart
[12:26] <edeca> issyl0: (might be a bit different on your system)
[12:26] <_Narc_> Hello all. I got a USB key that takes forever to mount, like several minutes, it's FAT formated. Any advice, is it the device or Ubuntu's fault ? Thanks.
[12:26] <edeca> I haven't got my ubuntu laptop on
[12:26] <edeca> _Narc_: Anything in dmesg about it?
[12:26] <edeca> _Narc_: If not, it's possibly just the device.  Try scanning the disk on a Windows box or copying your data off and recreating the fat filesystem
[12:27] <issyl0> OK, thanks all!
[12:27] <Guest79791> dr willis  i was attmping to change from 16 bit i/o to 32 bit
[12:27] <Guest79791> and it deny reqeust
[12:27] <Guest79791> using sudo
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> Guest79791:  it may be because the info you are geting is wrong and it is 32bit allready
[12:27] <_Narc_> edeca: Nothing really alarming in dmesg | tail and I already did that, formatting it under Windows
[12:27] <Guest79791> http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-5031573.html
[12:28] <SolarisBoy> /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
[12:28] <Guest79791> hmm it is quite old
[12:28] <obscurant1st> where is the loacation for the packages which are downloaded by apt-get in ubuntu?
[12:28] <edeca> _Narc_: I've had similar when I've yanked them out without "safely ejecting" :)
[12:28] <edeca> obscurant1st: You mean the cache?
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> hdparm is getting more and more obsolete  -  ive not had to mess with it in years
[12:28] <generic> can someone help me get shh *working*?
[12:28] <SolarisBoy> :/var
[12:28] <generic> Or do I have to do to get remote logins?
[12:28] <edeca> obscurant1st: /var/cache/apt
[12:29] <EgYPaRaDoX> why is it safer to use sudo than su?
[12:29] <obscurant1st> edeca, ok, thx
[12:29] <sebsebseb> Hi
[12:29] <edeca> obscurant1st: The following might free up disk space: apt-get autoclean
[12:29] <generic> ^^^ssh
[12:29] <edeca> obscurant1st: But it removes any downloaded .dpkgs
[12:29] <SolarisBoy> generic: if you haven't enabled it as a startup service or installed it and dont have remote console log in,,
[12:29] <obscurant1st> edeca, i dont want to removeit
[12:29] <SolarisBoy> then you wont be able to from remote
[12:29] <Moat> so truecrypt and scramdisk are the two encryption programs?
[12:29] <generic> SolarisBoy: I have it installed
[12:30] <generic> and it is automatically started
[12:30] <sebsebseb> EgYPaRaDoX: normalley you just sudo  when you want root for command line apps, or  gksudo for graphical, and don't need to use anything else
[12:30] <_Narc_> edeca: Ya, I think so too :) But how to fix it now if formatting doesn't help ? Here's my dmesg | tail if you want to take a look - http://paste.ubuntu.com/380335/
[12:30] <SolarisBoy> generic: so whats the problem?
[12:30] <generic> SolarisBoy:  when i try to login in nothing happens
[12:30] <edeca> _Narc_: That looks totally normal
[12:30] <SolarisBoy> generic: do you mean it times out?
[12:30] <sebsebseb> EgYPaRaDoX: and there's a way to get a root shell all the time, but you woudn't normalley have a reason to do that
[12:30] <generic> SolarisBoy: no error, no output, it jsut stays there doing nothing
[12:30] <Gryllida> Can a hostname of machine running Ubuntu be changed with GUI only, without commands?
[12:30] <SolarisBoy> generic: try -v on your ssh line
[12:31] <edeca> _Narc_: I would expect to see errors about it settling if the stick was dodgy
[12:31] <SolarisBoy> generic: where are you ssh to and where are you?
[12:31] <generic> SolarisBoy: okay then thats actually helped
[12:31] <Moat> so truecrypt and scramdisk are the two encryption programs?
[12:31] <generic> SolarisBoy: debug1: Connecting to gneric.ath.cx [76.122.53.142] port 22.
[12:31] <SolarisBoy> ok so its not connected
[12:31] <generic> it stays st that forever
[12:31] <SolarisBoy> is this behind a firewall?
[12:31] <generic> I can ping the host
[12:32] <SolarisBoy> ok
[12:32] <generic> no no the ports are fine
[12:32] <_Narc_> edeca: I thought so. Yesterday it had a bad superblock alert but I achieved to format but now it takes 5 minutes to automount.
[12:32] <nasso_> does anyone here have experience with encrypted partitions? i have 3 encrypted partitions with the same password, / , swap and /data. i to input two passwords (for / and swap) before the system boots and then the third password is prompted for but the boot doesnt stop. does anyone know how to make it wait for the third password?
[12:32] <Realman23> hi all
[12:32] <generic> I have ssh working on other boxes
[12:32] <Gryllida> my question above, please notice it :/
[12:32] <SolarisBoy> siptables running?
[12:32] <Realman23> hi
[12:32] <edeca> _Narc_: Hrrrrrm, it _could_ be the stick going faulty but fixing itself (they have a small amount of extra storage for bad blocks)
[12:32] <edeca> _Narc_: And the host machine would know nothing about it
[12:32] <sebsebseb> EgYPaRaDoX: hrm left soon after my messages and re joined, so maybe you didn't see them
[12:32] <LaLeche> !info kubuntu-desktop 9.04
[12:32] <edeca> _Narc_: Time to buy a new stick?  They are less than $10 nowadays ;)
[12:32] <LaLeche> !info kubuntu-desktop
[12:33] <generic> SolarisBoy: no, this is a frsh install
[12:33] <LaLeche> !info kde-base
[12:33] <LaLeche> !info kde-core
[12:33] <_Narc_> edeca: The strange thing is that it's brand new. I bought it yesterday :)
[12:33] <SolarisBoy> ok is the host possibly experiencing very high loads then?
[12:33] <edeca> _Narc_: Hrm, that's bad then!
[12:33] <generic> no, im the host
[12:33] <_Narc_> edeca: So you think it's a faulty device ?
[12:34] <SolarisBoy> no the host... as in the node running SSH
[12:34] <edeca> _Narc_: I dunno, it could be.  That's not normal.  Have you got another machine to try it on?
[12:34] <SolarisBoy> TCP/IP can become unresponsive under high loads
[12:34] <_Narc_> Ya. I tested it on Win, it mounts quickly
[12:34] <generic> SolarisBoy: how can i restart the service?
[12:35] <generic> sshd i mean
[12:35] <_Narc_> But I'll try on my other Ubuntu box, thanks for your help anyway
[12:35] <Gryllida> my question, please notice it :/ Can a hostname of machine running Ubuntu be changed with GUI only, without commands?
[12:35] <SolarisBoy> generic: /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[12:35] <SolarisBoy> or service ssh restart
[12:36] <SolarisBoy> what type of address is that host using? static or DHCP?
[12:36] <fakeer> Planning to switch to a rolling-release (at least to see how  it feels). Fellow Ubuntu users, what do you suggest? Or is there a way I can have the semi-rolling release feel in Ubuntu??
[12:36] <korki> hello
[12:36] <Yautja_Cetanu> Could someone point me in the right direction to get advice on how to set up a virtual host on a different port for apache2? I don't have dns or virtual ips
[12:37] <SolarisBoy> Yautja_Cetanu: you can simply de<VirtualHost *:80>
[12:37] <SolarisBoy> oops
[12:37] <SolarisBoy> <VirtualHost *:80>
[12:38] <cmpsalvestrini> Good morning in the morning
[12:38] <_Narc_> edeca: Ok, I don't get it, it mounts instantly on my older box, also running Karmic. :/
[12:38] <SolarisBoy> time to rest =)
[12:38] <Moat> can someone help me install scramdisk
[12:39] <Moat> ?
[12:39] <SolarisBoy> scramdisk?
[12:39] <edeca> _Narc_: Hm, could either be your hardware or karmic then I guess!
[12:39] <cmpsalvestrini> _Narc_: what is it that you're trying to mount
[12:39] <Oivey> does anyone know if i can make a bootable 128mb thumb drive of ubuntu?
[12:39] <Moat> yes scramdisk solarisboy
[12:40] <SolarisBoy> Moat: http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/
[12:40] <_Narc_> cmpsalvestrini: a USB key, FAT formatted. It takes like 5 minutes to mount on my first Ubuntu box and mounts instantly on the other one ...
[12:40] <SolarisBoy> i dont know about scram disk you can use devmapper to implement encrypted block devs
[12:40] <Moat> riiight
[12:40] <generic> SolarisBoy: thx i restarted it and it working now
[12:41] <Moat> does truecrypt work for ubuntu 9.10?
[12:41] <SolarisBoy> generic: sweet ness what was wrong?
[12:41] <LaLeche> !info kdm
[12:41] <IdleOne> Moat: just download the .deb file and double click it
[12:41] <LaLeche> !info kdm 9.10
[12:41] <generic> SolarisBoy: probably traffic...
[12:41] <LaLeche> !info kdm hardy
[12:41] <generic> other than that i have no real answer
[12:41] <LaLeche> is it possible to combine Ubuntu and Kubuntu?
[12:42] <generic> thanks again though.
[12:42] <LaLeche> to have both Gnome and KDE ?
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> LaLeche:  trivial to do that
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> LaLeche:  install kubuntu-dektop packagte   done
[12:42] <LaLeche> ok thx
[12:42] <SolarisBoy> generic which is why i asked is the host under high loads...
[12:42] <cmpsalvestrini> _Narc_: Usually such problems are related either with the kernel driver or maybe there's a .conf problem somewhere? I've never had mounting issues with ubu except when it fsck's an usb stick that I insert, then it's where it gets a bit slow.
[12:43] <Moat> Idleone
[12:43] <Moat> what kind of truecrypt do i get
[12:44] <Moat> i run ubuntu 9.10 on 32bit
[12:44] <jeeez> are there any plugins for firefox that'll help reduce my mouse usage?
[12:45] <Gryllida> jeeez, hang on
[12:45] <_Narc_> cmpsalvestrini: Ya, it's slow too. But why on the first box and not the other ? Could it be a permission problem or something like that ? Which conf files can I check ?
[12:45] <Gryllida> jeez, irc://moznet/firefox
[12:45] <Gryllida> jeeez, irc://moznet/firefox
[12:45] <jeeez> Gryllida: thanks!

[12:46] <Skaba1> Who is from Poland?
[12:46] <edeca> Skaba1: Polish people
[12:46] <cmpsalvestrini> _Narc_: Try finding a way to disable fsck on insertion, that may make it more zippy. As for which .conf files manage that, I've yet to find them...
[12:46] <Skaba1> yes
[12:47] <Myrtti> !pl | Skaba1
[12:47] <SolarisBoy> my friend at work is from poland =)
[12:47] <_Narc_> cmpsalvestrini: OK, thanks, I'll check that
[12:48] <SolarisBoy> cmpsalvestrini: fstab?
[12:48] <cmpsalvestrini> _Narc_: np bro, glad I could point you somewhere
[12:49] <Moat> I wanna download truecrypt, I'm using ubuntu 9.10 and running 32bit, what do i download?
[12:49] <cmpsalvestrini> SolarisBoy: I thought it was /etc/fstab too, maybe it needs to be tweaked for not fsck'ing USB sticks on insertion...
[12:49] <edeca> Moat: www.truecrypt.org has packages
[12:49] <Moat> which one?
[12:50] <IdleOne> Moat: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1190053
[12:50] <cmpsalvestrini> SolarisBoy: Speaking of Solaris, may I DCC? I got a question abt OpenSolaris
[12:52] <rascal999> is it possible to netboot the squashfs on the livecd uncompressed?
[12:52] <IdleOne> Moat: you want to download the x86 version if you are running 32bit
[12:53] <deserteagle> good morning!
[12:54] <Gryllida> good morning
[12:54] <deserteagle> :D
[12:54] <deserteagle> quick question: why does Rox-filer and file-roller (archive manager) show the wrong file size?
[12:55] <deserteagle> i'm downloading something through bittorrent, it says the d/l is barely 20% done... yet both apps show the file as complete
[12:56] <deserteagle> both in file size and after having done an integrity test on it
[12:56] <cmpsalvestrini> deserteagle: probably the file is corrrupted, have you checked CRC?  Also, torrent downloads work in parts, you get the full file size reported but it will not be "truly"that size until the download finishes.
[12:56] <Advo> Hi there, if a program has made a directory called: full-20100220.084714.936  is that just "full-" plus a GMT timestamp? if so, is there any way I can generate that myself? ie if i ran now it would make name something full-"current timestamp as GMT with milliseconds"?
[12:56] <erUSUL> deserteagle: probably the torrent app reserved the space for the file upfront. that's why it is full size in the filesystem
[12:56] <deserteagle> cmpsalvestrini, ooooh i see, so it physically occupies that much space?
[12:56] <green_lantern> hello... I am going to set up a home server with 8.04 server and I would like to attach the printer.  I will have windows computers on the network as well- will cups do the job?
[12:57] <deserteagle> erUSUL, gotcha! :D thank you guys
[12:57] <erUSUL> Advo: man date
[12:57] <cmpsalvestrini> deserteagle: yw mate
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> deserteagle:  thats a option with some torrent clients. also some can append a extension to the end to show the file is not done yet
[12:57] <erUSUL> deserteagle: that reduces the chance for file fagmentation
[12:57] <deserteagle> makes sense
[12:57] <Advo> if ive got a pc with one HD in(running ubuntu) and /opt/ is 200G, is it easy enough to add another harddrive, and sort of add that to /opt/ so if i add a new 200g hd, it would make /opt 400G or isnt that possible?
[12:57] <deserteagle> Dr_Willis, ooh nice! i'll look into that, thank you :)
[12:58] <erUSUL> Advo: you can make a lvm volume with both drives and mount that as /opt/
[12:59] <Advo> erUSUL will that cause problems with the existing /opt dir? as i cant afford to lose the data on there? i just need to somehow increase the space :S
[13:00] <santantonio> #irc.onlinegamesnet.net
[13:00] <deserteagle> Advo, back it up, do what he said, then slap the data back on
[13:00] <erUSUL> Advo: really dunno; just giving pointers on how to achieve what you want. you will have to research a little yourself.
[13:01] <Advo> deserteagle its really not that easy
[13:01] <Moat> Idleone I got the x86version, nothing happened

[13:05] <Maian> Hi
[13:05] <erUSUL> Advo: i do not think is possible to use lvm after the fact ... you will have to find another way. like mounting the new partition inside the /opt/ hierarchy or something like that

[13:16] <soreau> hannes815: what happens if you plugin the second monitor first, then try to activate compiz?
[13:17] <cmpsalvestrini> Darks7ar: is it an SD card reader?
[13:17] <kareneliot_> computa_mike, I have many success stories with Ubuntu :)
[13:17] <_Narc_> nathan7: Ok, I did, I can see my key listed, what should I look for ?
[13:17] <computa_mike> kareneliot_: i hear that..
[13:17] <Darks7ar> cmpsalvestrini: yes
[13:17] <Darks7ar> not only for SD but i want to read from sd card
[13:17] <Moat> I saved it to my home folder
[13:18] <Moat> so what do i do?
[13:18] <|el_nazista|> =))) "the pc TV cards are rubbish dont buy cheap ones", heh, who can give me money to buy this rubbish =)
[13:19] <Darks7ar> cmpsalvestrini: do u have something in mind?
[13:19] <cmpsalvestrini> Darkst7ar: SD card readers are an ongoing PITR for linux, I was lucky that on my laptop the builtin SD reader worked OOB with ubu 9.10
[13:19] <ubuntujenkins> does any one know if changing the resolution with xrandr is possible with an ati card? I don't own one to find out.
[13:19] <hannes815> soreau: if compiz is deactevated and i can plug in the second monitor, trying to run compiz --replace or trying to switch it on in the menues, it doesn't work, presenting a error:"Desktop effects could not be enabled" and if you tell me how to paste console-text i'll give you that.
[13:19] <tana-lab> what do I do, if a package installs okay, however the application installed is broken?
[13:19] <soreau> hannes815: Use pastebin.com
[13:20] <Darks7ar> cmpsalvestrini: can u give an example of the name of the device. is it /dev/sdb?
[13:20] <Moat> IdleOne I saved the thing to my home folder, so what do i put in?
[13:20] <cmpsalvestrini> Darks7ar: I had in mind a module search on google for your sd readre
[13:20] <kareneliot_> computa_mike, do you do some music?
[13:21] <cmpsalvestrini> Darkst7ar: I'm not at my ubu box atm
[13:21] <IdleOne> Moat: cd /home/your_user_name
[13:21] <Darks7ar> cmpsalvestrini: ok. 10x
[13:21] <mongoosedog> hello all
[13:21] <nathan7> _Narc_: unplug usb stick and check hub speeds.
[13:21] <Moat> how do i check my username IDLEone
[13:21] <psycho_oreos> Moat, id
[13:21] <Nemykal> Hi, could someone pastebin their menu.list/grub.conf? Just wanna see how I can make booting more quiet (I'm on gentoo, on my laptop)
[13:21] <psycho_oreos> Moat, you can also simply do cd ~
[13:21] <hannes815> soreau: there you go.
[13:21] <IdleOne> moat type id in the terminal
[13:21] <Moat> done
[13:21] <blakkheim> psycho_oreos: or just cd
[13:21] <computa_mike> kareneliot_: I've had  play hydrogen and ardour - my equipment just ain't up to scratch - plus I'm not very good at it
[13:22] <PianoPete> nasso_: just saw your msg.   there is a known bug in Karmic (see launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484272
[13:22] <PianoPete> ) where gdm is gobbling up keystrokes instead of he console seeing them as your passphrase. Could this be your problem ?
[13:22]  * Zuz|Home is still trying to find someone to help him get wubi to work properly, wubi installed but when the computer is restarted there is no option to select windows xp or ubuntu. Can anyone help me fix this?
[13:22] <soreau> hannes815: You have to post the link it gives you back here
[13:22] <psycho_oreos> blakkheim, I don't think cd will change your pwd to your home directory :)
[13:22] <blakkheim> Zuz|Home: try a real installation
[13:22] <blakkheim> psycho_oreos: try it
[13:22] <computa_mike> kareneliot_: I was planning to record against the free backing tracks that you can download from the net (guitar)
[13:22] <_Narc_> nathan7: Ok, thanks, I'll explore that
[13:22] <hannes815> http://pastebin.com/m764a8a64 that one? soreau?
[13:22] <psycho_oreos> blakkheim, ahh that works :) good to know new ways thanks
[13:22] <Zuz|Home> Blakheim, I dont have a cd burner not ubuntu CDs  :(
[13:22] <tana-lab> Nemykal: timeout 5
[13:22] <tana-lab> default 0
[13:23] <blakkheim> Zuz|Home: usb drive?
[13:23] <hannes815> soreau: sorry, kinda new ;)
[13:23] <Zuz|Home> nope
[13:23] <zetheroo> Zuz|Home: can you boot into windows xp at all?
[13:23] <soreau> hannes815: That is ok. Here is the problem: Checking screen 1Comparing resolution (2560x1024) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Failed.
[13:23] <computa_mike> kareneliot_: 27% downloaded
[13:23] <Zuz|Home> yes
[13:23] <soreau> hannes815: So can you show the output of xrandr?
[13:23] <zetheroo> Zuz|Home: yes to me?
[13:23] <Zuz|Home> yes zetheroo
[13:23] <tana-lab> at the top of your grub.conf
[13:23] <cmpsalvestrini> Best path is to install ubu on its own, preferably without double-booting, and virtualize a windows box for those windows programs that don't have a gnu/linux equivalent
[13:24] <zetheroo> Zuz|Home: when you boot into Windows do you notice any change to your hard drive sizes?
[13:24] <kareneliot_> computa_mike, i havent equipment. lol I've done all with mouse and keyboard.
[13:24] <soreau> hannes815: Actually, what is the output of:  glxinfo -l|grep max_texture_size
[13:24] <hannes815> soreau: how? i think i'm using arandr right now (tried with grandr, xrandr, and arandr) so i don't necessarily now
[13:24] <kareneliot_> computa_mike, LMMS is great :)
[13:24] <Nemykal> tana-lab: Already got the equivalents; I just want to see a ubuntu example grub.conf so I can grab the quiet / splash commands
[13:24] <computa_mike> kareneliot_: what's lmms?
[13:25] <kareneliot_> computa_mike: and Ubuntu gives me happyness with no crashes!

[13:25] <cheem-elegant> hi all, mysql server not running after upgrading from jaunty to karmic. i have checked forums and also applied changes but no success till now.. it is very annoying
[13:25] <uday> How do i install a intex TV tuner card
[13:25] <Nemykal> So can anyone quickly pastebin their /boot/grub/menu.lst for me?
[13:25] <WiW> Somebody please help me. I'm trying to run Ubuntu (made with LinuxLive USB Creator 2.4), and it keeps getting stuck after that bit where it loads the essential drivers, runs those scripts and sets up a live user session/profile/whatever it's called. Then the screen goes blank and I get a blinking cursor...
[13:26] <Zuz|Home> zetheroo, yes I see ubuntu installed, its on the add/remove software, it has the 30gb space I gave, cmpsalvestrini, im not sure if you were saying that to me, but I do already have an ubuntu machine, this is my windows machine but I want to have ubuntu for fun
[13:26] <computa_mike> kareneliot_: yeah - i love ubuntu
[13:26] <saganbyte> i m trying to look for gimpshop but the only link i m getting is a rapidshare page which is too crowded to allow me a download... any suggestions how i can get gimpshop on ubuntu?
[13:26] <WiW> I tried rebuilding Ubuntu on the USB, but no avail.
[13:26] <zetheroo> Zuz|Home: ok so you want to run Ubuntu from within Windows and not dual boot?
[13:26] <kareneliot_> computa_mike, Linux MultiMedia Studio: a sequencer similar to Fruity Loops Studio. http://lmms.sourceforge.net/
[13:26] <soreau> hannes815: Just show the output of:  glxinfo -l|grep max_texture_size
[13:26] <mongoosedog> just wondering if any one can help me? i've tried to intall ubuntu 9.10 and dual boot it with windows vista, the both boot up, vista runs fine but ubuntu freezes, it let me play a game of tetris, but trying to set up empathy it froze, trying to start firefox it froze again, next time it let me start firefox, the froze when i typed in the google search box? it's my first time with ubuntu some i'm pretty clueless
[13:27] <computa_mike> kareneliot_: I'm downloading it right now...
[13:27] <Zuz|Home> zetheroo, no, i want to dual boot, im using "wubi" to do it, I actually used that on my little cousins windows 2000 computer last night and It workd flawless
[13:28] <hannes815> soreau: sorry, i really don't know where to look, how to get this information :(
[13:28] <zetheroo> Zuz|Home: I thought Wubi enabled Ubuntu to be installed within Windows as any other application would be installed
[13:28] <soreau> hannes815: In your terminal where you ran compiz
[13:28] <WiW> Am I asking the wrong questions, because it seems I can't get support on this channel at all...
[13:28] <kareneliot_> computa_mike, LMMS is in development... its not a FL Studio at all... but I dont need FL Studio now :)
[13:28] <Zuz|Home> zetheroo, something like that, but you still dual boot  :)
[13:28] <soreau> ribot is pmming spam
[13:29] <kasun> hello,
[13:29] <zetheroo> what is ribot?
[13:29] <soreau> ! ops | ribot
[13:29] <ribot> sorry i was making script
[13:29] <computa_mike> i just had rbot spamming me about a serial
[13:29] <hannes815> soreau: http://pastebin.com/d13e5442
[13:29] <cmpsalvestrini> Zuz|Home: Win Vista is notoriously prickly about its bootloader, it's a real PITR to have it dualboot. That's one of the reasons why I chose to go the linux way in all my machines (well except for an ati based laptop)
[13:29] <Zuz|Home> zetheroo, my problem is that it didnt change the boot loader, so im not getting the options to switch to ubuntu
[13:29] <computa_mike> ubottu ribot
[13:29] <WiW> Alright, thanks. I give up on Ubuntu.
[13:30] <soreau> hannes815: Oh sorry, I meant grep -i max_texture_size
[13:30] <kasun> can anybody tel me how to reload /etc/resolv.conf file
[13:30] <zetheroo> can someone confirm if Wubi allows you do dual boot ... I thought it installs Ubuntu INSIDE of Windows ...
[13:30] <tana-lab> Nemykal: http://grub.enbug.org/grub.cfg
[13:30] <soreau> hannes815: Or use MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE
[13:30] <Zuz|Home> cmpsalvestrini, you might be right, but im on XP
[13:30] <tyfon> anyone know how to install ubuntu in text-mode only (like via serial console and no vga output)
[13:30] <GSF1200S> hey whats the symbol thats used to tell firefox to open link X
[13:30] <GSF1200S> almost like the $ sign
[13:30] <zetheroo> Zuz|Home: oh, so no GRUB
[13:30] <tyfon> the grub interface defaults to graphics output for some reason
[13:30] <cmpsalvestrini> Zuz|Home: I think wubi does not truly allow dualboot
[13:30] <GSF1200S> im trying to write a simple script to get Tbird to open FF to a web link I click
[13:31] <computa_mike> guys - what's this ribot?
[13:31] <hannes815> soreau: takes a while ;)
 wubi allows dual boot. yes its true, it installs under windows but gives the capability for dual boot
[13:31] <ikonia> he's gone
[13:31] <soreau> hannes815: Start a new terminal and run:  glxinfo -l | grep -i max_texture_size
[13:31] <kareneliot_> tyfon, I think you need to download and use the "Alternate" version of Ubuntu.
[13:31] <lorenzo_> #ubuntu-it
[13:31] <tyfon> hmm
[13:32] <MenZa> lorenzo_: /join #ubuntu-it :)
[13:32] <tyfon> maybe the mini.iso isn't correct afterall :p
[13:32] <zetheroo> kasun: ok cool
 it edits windows bootloader
[13:32] <rabbi1> i got lots of fonts in my windows/fonts how do i embed it in to linux?
[13:32] <hannes815> soreau: GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE = 2048
[13:32] <nasso_> PianoPete, thanks! fixed it with bootwait
[13:32] <MenZa> rabbi1: You can install them in ~/.fonts, then run < sudo fc-cache -r > to reload your font cache.
[13:32] <nasso_> PianoPete, im looking for a way to mount all partitions with just one password now
[13:32] <rabbi1> MenZa: install mean copy paste with do ?
[13:33] <MenZa> rabbi1: Correct. Just drop them in there.
[13:33] <cmpsalvestrini> well guys it's been fun but... time to hit the rays
[13:33] <soreau> hannes815: Ok, that is the maximum total resolution size you can start compiz 0.8 in any dimension. So for example, 1024x768 for both screens would work, but not 1280x1024
[13:33] <Zuz|Home> cmpsalvestrini, what ever it truly does, I installed it on a windows 2000 last night, worked really nice, everytime we restarted the machine we had the option of selecting windows 2000 or ubuntu, it booted straight to that OS when we selected and I loved it... I just want to get wubi to work on my machine, can you help?
[13:34] <soreau> hannes815: This is a graphics chipset hardware limit btw
[13:34] <kareneliot_> tyfon, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors
[13:34] <tyfon> yeah im downloading it :9
[13:34] <cmpsalvestrini> sorry, never used wubi Zuz, always did either a dualboot with windows or an all-ubuntu installation.
[13:34] <hannes815> soreau: so how would i do that and what resolution do i wanna use?
[13:34] <tyfon> i just figured it would work with the netboot installer too
[13:34] <kasun> hello, can anybody tel me how to reload /etc/resolv.conf file???
[13:35] <tana-lab> what do I do, if a package installs okay, however the application installed is broken?
[13:35] <ikonia> kasun: it's real time
[13:35] <jrib> GSF1200S: why are you writing a script at all?  There shouldn't be any need to
[13:35] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: apt-get -f
[13:35] <kasun> ikonia, what do you mean by real time?
[13:35] <soreau> hannes815: Just try setting both screens to 1024x<anything> and compiz should be able to start
[13:36] <ikonia> kasun: it's parsed real time
[13:36] <hannes815> soreau: cool, i'll try it out. is that hardware limit supposed to be driver-fixed or permanent?
[13:36] <GSF1200S> jrib: im on seperate X sessions- firefox has a lock on the existing process. I have to run a script to go to DISPLAY=:0.0 Firefox... but I dont know the operand or whatever to tell thunderbird to insert its link
[13:36] <SolarisBoy> how is 9.04 support for i7 processor?
[13:36] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: apt-get install -f
[13:36] <kareneliot_> computa_mike, in leavin.
[13:36] <soreau> hannes815: Alternatively you can start compiz like this but it will probably cause problems:  SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz
[13:36] <ikonia> soreau: fine
[13:36] <tana-lab> PingFloyd: there are no broken dependencies that apt-get can tell
[13:37] <soreau> ikonia: Thanks! :)
[13:37] <kareneliot_> computa_mike, tyfon: good bye and nice days!
[13:37] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: you would   apt-get install -f package
[13:37] <kasun> ikonia, okay thanks.
[13:37] <jrib> GSF1200S: just pass the arguments directly to the firefox command
[13:37] <tana-lab> as the package dependencies are installed too
[13:37] <GSF1200S> jrib: how so?
[13:38] <ikonia> soreau: sorry, that was meant for SolarisBoy
[13:38] <kareneliot_> hey all: $cd heart  $apt-get install anarchism
[13:38] <ikonia> SolarisBoy: support is fine
[13:38] <soreau> hannes815: The hardware limit I believe is fixed in software with compiz-0.9
[13:38] <chartoin> I am having a bit of a problem. I get and error saying libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[13:38] <soreau> ikonia: I know, Im just poking fun at you ;)
[13:38] <EgYPaRaDoX> is it possible to change dependencies?
[13:38] <ikonia> EgYPaRaDoX: not without rebuilding a package
[13:38] <GSF1200S> jrib: haha man, i dont know what the hell im doing... tryin
[13:39] <chartoin> Please help me
[13:39] <chartoin> I am having a bit of a problem. I get and error saying libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[13:39] <jrib> GSF1200S: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide

[13:39] <chartoin> I am trying to run a Yahoo TV widget simulator
[13:40] <GSF1200S> jrib: thanks
[13:40] <ikonia> chartoin: ok, so it's complaining that a libraray it needs, is not on your system
[13:40] <_Narc_> Hello. Sorry to ask again. Any idea why my 16 GB USB key takes forever to mount (or doesn't mount at all) on my first Ubuntu box and mounts instantly on Win and my other Karmic box ? Thanks a lot.
[13:40] <umang> ninja, Have you tried installing ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[13:40] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: that error may or may not have to do with broken dependencies then
[13:40] <chartoin> I tried apt-get install libreadline5
[13:40] <soreau> chartoin: You probably need to install the libreadline5 package
[13:40] <gautham> whats the best way to download offline updates and packages for ubuntu ?
[13:40] <chartoin> its installed
[13:40] <tana-lab> indeed, it's the package that's broken
[13:41] <soreau> chartoin: What is giving you this message?
[13:41] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: likely the actual build of that particular package
[13:41] <umang> gautham, A download script from Synaptic Package Manager.
[13:41] <chartoin> soreau, When I run the simulator, it opens up a terminal
[13:41] <ninja> umang: this is the first time I have tried linux. I am ashamed to say, I do not know how to do that.
[13:41] <gautham> umang: any link or howto ?
[13:41] <chartoin> soreau, I get the error in the terminal
[13:41] <tana-lab> the maintainer of the packages is: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com>
[13:42] <ikonia> chartoin: because it can't find the libarary
[13:42] <Darks7ar> ubuntu can't work with my card reader. when i plug in sd card dmesg says:[ 3234.064068] usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
[13:42] <Darks7ar> [ 3234.207296] usb 2-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[13:42] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: where did you get the package from?
[13:42] <tana-lab> but that seems to be a catch all
[13:42] <umang> gautham, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Synaptic/PackageDownloadScript
[13:42] <chartoin> so what should I do?
[13:42] <soreau> chartoin: What is the output of:  ls /lib/libreadline.so.5
[13:42] <Darks7ar> what to do?
[13:42] <ikonia> chartoin: see if the library is on your system first of all
[13:43] <tana-lab> PingFloyd: karamic repo
[13:43] <sebsebseb> ninja: open the terminal and then  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[13:43] <sebsebseb> ninja: and hit enter
[13:43] <chartoin> soreau, chartoin@Iris:~$ ls /lib/libreadline5.so
[13:43] <chartoin> ls: cannot access /lib/libreadline5.so: No such file or directory
[13:43] <ikonia> chartoin: ok, so there is the problem the files not there
[13:43] <tana-lab> *karmic
[13:44] <soreau> chartoin: Which version of ubuntu is this?
[13:44] <chartoin> soreau, 9.10
[13:44] <soreau> chartoin: You probably need to reinstall the libreadline5 package then. Remove it first, then reinstall it.
[13:44] <umang> ninja, Use Synaptic package manager to install a package called ubuntu-restricted-extras. To reach that package fast, just click on any package, and start typing ubuntu-restric... and it will get selected. Click it chose to install. Then click OK and Apply.
[13:44] <chartoin> soreau, Okay
[13:44] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: looks like it's an actual issue with the game itself http://www.pygame.org/project/455/

[13:45] <Darks7ar> guys is there a way of installing new module without compiling new kernel
[13:45] <tana-lab> but it's works on my gentoo
[13:45] <Dr_Willis_> Darks7ar:  ive done that.. years ago. so yes its possible
[13:45] <tana-lab> so it's this version that's broken
[13:46] <Darks7ar> Dr_Willis_: will u help me?
[13:46] <ninja> cannot find it. size is no problem 40/10 mbit conn.
[13:46] <tana-lab> I could do a source install however it'll just clutter up the system
[13:46] <chartoin> soreau, ikonia, thanks a lot guys
[13:46] <chartoin> that worked
[13:46] <soreau> Darks7ar: Yes, you can build kernel modules out-of-tree without building the kernel
[13:46] <chartoin> You are geniuses
[13:46] <soreau> chartoin: NP
[13:46] <Dr_Willis_> Darks7ar:  Last i did it was proerly over 5 yrs ago. so i doubt if i can help much,
[13:47] <dizzycat> ninja: it's in the ubuntu software center
[13:47] <Darks7ar> soreau: can u help me
[13:47] <umang> ninja, do you know how to use the terminal?
[13:47] <Dr_Willis_> Darks7ar:  got the soruce. confoguired what modules to build.. and ran some command that made them.. that was all i rember.
[13:47] <umang> ninja, (just how to open it is enough)
[13:47] <soreau> Darks7ar: Perhaps. First, what module is it and why do you want to install it?
[13:47] <hannes8151> soreau: it kinda worked :( it prsented the same error "desktop effects can't be enabled" but with console it activated, but the whole screen went black except for the cursor.
[13:47] <phong_> hi
[13:47] <phong_> i have question, how to do a command update
[13:47] <hannes8151> soreau: so what's still wrong?
[13:47] <tana-lab> or could I make a working dep package and install that?
[13:47] <phong_> sudo apt-get udate ??
[13:47] <soreau> hannes8151: What did you do exactly?
[13:47] <tana-lab> never tried that yet
[13:48] <blakkheim> phong_: sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude full-upgrade
[13:48] <Darks7ar> soreau: its ehci_hcd i want to install it because my card reader doesn't work.
[13:48] <dr0id> anyone having any idea how I can get mysql workbench on linux-ubuntu 9.04
[13:48] <soreau> Darks7ar: Did you find some source code for it?
[13:48] <ninja> found it. downloading now. thanks
[13:48] <Darks7ar> soreau: im not sure if thats the problem but dmesg gives the following when i put my sd card:[ 3234.064068] usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4

[13:49] <umang> ninja, You're welcome. :)
[13:49] <dizzycat> ninja : you're welcome
[13:49] <soreau> hannes8151: Hmmm.. that is strange..
[13:49] <Darks7ar> soreau: no i havent searched yet because i didn't know if it was possible
[13:49] <phong_> blakkheim, got itt hanks
[13:49] <militant> i'm curious.  any reason ubuntu defaults to a swappiness of 60 specifically?
[13:49] <umang> gautham, did you find what you were looking for?
[13:49] <dr0id> anyone having any idea how I can get mysql workbench on linux-ubuntu 9.04
[13:50] <soreau> Darks7ar: My guess is there is likely some other problem. What specific problem are you having with the sd card reader?
[13:50] <ninja> also get the error message "HAL daemon is not running upon startup. any ideas?
[13:50] <tana-lab> how do one make a dep package
[13:50] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: yeah, you could try the deb-src pkg and see if you have better luck
[13:50] <gautham> umang: not yet. problem is I have a laptop with ubuntu which needs to be updated and a desktop with windowsxp and archlinux which has internet
[13:51] <JulioNeto> hi all
[13:51] <umang> gautham, That's find. Almost any linux has wget. If not, use DownloadThemAll on Windows
[13:51] <Darks7ar> soreau: it just doesn't work. its builtin. i bought new notebook recently.
[13:51] <ajah> i tried to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu ( ubuntu installed first) but when i set up menu.lst and try to boot windows from grub menu it says BOOTMGR missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart any suggestions ?
[13:51] <gautham> and I want kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop, lxde, icewm, ubuntu-studio-desktop packages downloaded
[13:51] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: see apt-get build-dep in the manpage, about your dependency question
[13:51] <computa_mike> Hi guys - I have a question about insalling themes under ubuntu.  I've tried installing the Genoid theme - it's a gtk theme to look like android.  It installs the widget graphics ok, but once it is applied it appears as Custom on the list - I would have thought that installing a theme would make it visible on the appearance screen. Am I doing something wrong?
[13:51] <gautham> along with ubuntu-restricted-extras
[13:51] <soreau> Darks7ar: Can you show the information about it from lsusb?
[13:51] <gautham> umang: can I get updated packages ?
[13:52] <Grufle> how do I configure which input method Empathy uses in Karmic? The internal mic on my Acer aspire one works (so so) in skype but not in empathy. I've removed pulseaudio and installed alsa instead just to get the mic working somewhat
[13:52] <hannes8151> soreau: you got any more ideas? you know when compiz 0.9 is out?
[13:52] <Grufle> only program the mic worked in with pulseaudio was sound recorder
[13:52] <umang> gautham, Oh. I get your point. Let me check
[13:52] <Darks7ar> soreau: how do i find it in lsusb?
[13:52] <soreau> Darks7ar: Just type lsusb in your terminal
[13:52] <GSF1200S> jrib: nice guide, and you were right.. $@ passed it through and it works no issue
[13:52] <ajah> i tried to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu ( ubuntu installed first) but when i set up menu.lst and try to boot windows from grub menu it says BOOTMGR missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart any suggestions ?
[13:53] <tana-lab> PingFloyd: I was thinking to fetch the newest tarball and compile it in a "sandbox"
[13:53] <Darks7ar> its not usb connected its built in my notebook
[13:53] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: yeah, that might be worth a shot
[13:53] <soreau> hannes8151: I am not sure why it would be behaving this way because it should work. Maybe you can try asking in #compiz
[13:53] <Darks7ar> soreau: i typed it in but how do i understand which exactly is the card readeer
[13:53] <tana-lab> and then make a dep package from that... that last step is all I don't know about
[13:53] <soreau> Darks7ar: Oh well, look at the output of lspci
[13:54] <Darks7ar> ive already done that
[13:54] <skaba> who gameing in china metin2
[13:54] <Darks7ar> i've*
[13:54] <tana-lab> PingFloyd: but you say apt-get build-dep's manpage has some guide lines?
[13:54] <hannes8151> soreau: thank you.
[13:54] <soreau> Darks7ar: I am trying to find out the model of this card reader
[13:54] <skaba> Who from poland?
[13:55] <umang> gautham, This page has a section on "Offline apt-get update", see if that helps. Might not be super simple, but check it out anyways. : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware
[13:55] <Darks7ar> soreau: my notebook is acer extensa 5635zg
[13:55] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: apt-get's manpage.  There's apt-get build-dep that you can use to bring in the build dependencies
[13:55] <gautham> umang: part of my problem is the fact that the installation medium I used is not with me so I can't even live boot ubuntu
[13:55] <tana-lab> ah right
[13:55] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: generally the *-dev pkgs that have the needed headers for building said pkg
[13:56] <tana-lab> I did that for koffice
[13:56] <soreau> Darks7ar: Ok when you put in your sd card and look at the dmesg output, does it say anything about a /dev/ node?
[13:56] <umang> gautham, Sorry, didn't get you there. Where does the CD come into this?
[13:56] <tana-lab> :) indeed
[13:56] <JulioNeto> Guys I have a problem with firefox download windows: http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/869/downloadwindowproblem.jpg Do you have any ideia about why this thing is happeing?
[13:56] <gautham> umang: if i need to boot ubuntu live
[13:56] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: the upstream source has possibility to have different dependencies.  keep that in mind.
[13:56] <tana-lab> but
[13:57] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: if the upstream dev is good though, he'll list them
[13:57] <Darks7ar> soreau: nope
[13:57] <Darks7ar> soreau: http://pastebin.com/m30b4f616 here is lspci
[13:57] <phong_> blakkheim, why alot of update with aptitude :)
[13:57] <tana-lab> PingFloyd: but how do I make the deb package
[13:57] <umang> gautham, No you don't need to do that. You said you have a computer with internet (with Win or some other linux installed). You can download the packages from there and then bring them back to you Ubuntu machine.
[13:57] <Dr_Willis_> JulioNeto:  i just use a firefox extension that gets rid of that annoying download window and puts the info right above the status bar. Much handier
[13:57] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: easiest way is with checkinstall
[13:57] <blakkheim> phong_: maybe you haven't updated in a while
[13:57] <phong_> blakkheim, it is still doing the update hahah
[13:58] <gautham> umang: but how do I get list of updates ?
[13:58] <tana-lab> iirc it's just a tar with some special files in it
[13:58] <phong_> blakkheim, i just install ubuntu x64
[13:58] <militant> man.  i'm amazed how much difference changing the swappiness makes
[13:58] <theadmin> Can I embed HTML pages to GNOME desktop like in... ugh... Window$?
[13:58] <blakkheim> phong_: ok
[13:58] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: what's funny is I was going to recommend after you get upstream build all sorted out, to use checkinstall to make a deb pkg
[13:58] <Dr_Willis_> JulioNeto:  could be the window manager some how rembering some set size.  No idea on what/fix/or other solutions however
[13:58] <JulioNeto> Dr_Willis, it's a good idea... what's the plugin's name?
[13:58] <umang> gautham, The psedo-repository method outlined in the link I gave you last.
[13:58] <umang> gautham, end of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware
[13:58] <Dr_Willis_> JulioNeto:  i forget. some download-bar or somthing.    let me look
[13:58] <tana-lab> PingFloyd: checkinstall hmm... kay...
[13:59] <umang> gautham, well, not exactly end, but towards the end. ;)
[13:59] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: checkinstall is nice and easy which is fine for personal packages, but if you end up wanting to contribute the pkg to ubuntu/debian, you'll want to follow their packaging standards
[13:59] <soreau> Darks7ar: If you dont receive any errors in dmesg and it said it found the card my guess would be that you just need to do something to access the device. I have never used an sd card reader or sd card before so I dont know exactly where you would look. Try searching google for sd card reader ubuntu
[13:59] <Dr_Willis_> JulioNeto:  i forget. some download-statusbar
[14:00] <Dr_Willis_> JulioNeto:  --> It says -->  download-statusbar
[14:00] <jackbrown> Hey i installed my Webcam drivers and they seems to works correctly (also when i reboot the system) the only problem is that when the system goes suspended then it came back my camera won't works again is anybody able to help me ?
[14:00] <tana-lab> PingFloyd: :) well I did have have that in mind at the end
[14:00] <umang> gautham, You will need to create the repository like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline/Repository and then add it to your sources (as explained) then generate the download script and edit it.
[14:00] <Darks7ar> soreau: dmesg gives error thats why i wanted to compile ehci_hcd module
[14:00] <gautham> umang: whoa! sounds like a serious amount of work
[14:00] <soreau> Darks7ar: What error?
[14:01] <JulioNeto> Dr_Willis, tks ;)
[14:01] <jackbrown>  installed my Webcam drivers and they seems to works correctly (also when i reboot the system) the only problem is that when the system goes suspended then it came back my camera won't works again is anybody able to help me ?
[14:02] <theadmin> jackbrown: Do not repeat too often. If nobody here knows, nobody answers. Checking the forums at ubuntuforums.org while you wait might be a good idea.
[14:02] <umang> gautham, It looked like that to me. But over the last couple of minutes, I've realized it isn't so much. Will take you five to ten minutes maybe. Download a couple of files, put them in a folder, add that folder to software sources and then do everything as usual (except you will need to do a find and replace on the download script).
[14:02] <jackbrown> ok
[14:02] <stylist> wot up
[14:02] <gautham> umang: how can I download "only" the package list ? I mean the updated packages list ?
[14:03] <Darks7ar> soreau: it wasn't error but message and i don't know why but i put it out and in and now i think it worked
[14:03] <aad> cha`o aad
[14:03] <aad> cha`o icho
[14:03] <aad> cha`o shoonya
[14:03] <NamCongtu> cha`o lewnidas_
[14:03] <PianoPete> nasso_: I've only ever had /home encrypted I'm afraid.  I don't know of a way to enter thepassword just once. Sorry.
[14:03] <NamCongtu> NamCongtu
[14:04] <gautham> umang: My installation is a vanilla Ubuntu 9.10 and I am trying to get the latest versions of all packages onto it
[14:04] <stylist> Hi people
[14:04] <stylist> someone help me
[14:04] <_Narc_> Sorry to ask again folks. Any idea why my 16 GB USB key takes forever to mount (or doesn't mount at all) on my first Ubuntu box and mounts instantly on Win and my other Karmic box ? Thanks a lot.
[14:04] <umang> gautham, BTW: I haven't done this before, I'm just telling you everything as I read the wiki. It seems to make sense to me so I presume it will work. About the list, just a second.
[14:04] <stylist> I install ubuntu 9.10 desktop i386
[14:04] <gautham> umang: the method suggested seems like it only downloads the october 2009 versions of the packages
[14:04] <theadmin> _Narc_: Might be something with the drivers, although doubt it.
[14:04] <NamCongtu> cha`o edwinrea
[14:04] <tana-lab> PingFloyd: thanks for the heads up, and suggestions
[14:05] <theadmin> !it | NamCongtu
[14:05] <edwinrea> hola amigos que tal
[14:05] <stylist> I install ubuntu 9.10 desktop i386  and my CRT would only show 640x480,   i installed the latest drivers from nvidias website, now the display is 1600x1200 BUT i seem to have no window manager, i can start a program but it has no border, no minimize maximise or close buttons in the top right hand corner, i cant move the window around
[14:05] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: you're welcome
[14:05] <NamCongtu> cha`o math_b
[14:05] <NamCongtu> cha`o marnold
[14:05] <NamCongtu> Ba^y gio*` la`  21:05:13  Saturday  20/02/2010
[14:05] <stylist> How can I fix that?
[14:05] <stylist> How can i have a window manager again
[14:05] <umang> gautham, Oh you run ahead of me. Have you tried going to the karmic-updates and karmic-security folders also?
[14:05] <umang> (if you are running karmic that is)
[14:05] <NamCongtu> cha`o craigbass1976
[14:05] <craigbass1976> Hey
[14:05] <tana-lab> PingFloyd: maybe sid will get a new/updated package in a while ;D
[14:05] <craigbass1976> I'm on hardy, and need to jump up to current.  I'm screwed, no?  Unless I want to wipe and reinstall...
[14:06] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: yeah, that's another idea -- making your own backport
[14:06] <_Narc_> theadmin: I read about that, some bug in the ehci_hcd module, but when I tried to modprobe it, it said "module  not found". Also, it's very strange cause both computers are running karmic.
[14:06] <gautham> umang: no I only read the link you gave me and checked my laptop out a bit
[14:06] <soreau> Darks7ar: Cool
[14:07] <Darks7ar> soreau: yep cool but strange also :)
[14:07] <PianoPete> guys - I have been using LUKS to create encrypted files which I can mount to keep sensitive data in. It is complex but made easier with the lfd shell script http://petaramesh.org/public/arc/projects/lfd/lfd. My question is, what is he recommended Ubuntu method for doing that these days ?
[14:07] <gautham> umang: basically I realize that I need a way to first download package updates information from another computer onto my ubuntu machine
[14:07] <PianoPete> s/he/the/
[14:07] <umang> gautham, OK. So if you get the files they've asked you to (Release, Contents, etc) from the link provided (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/) then you can create a repository without having to download all the packages on your computer.
[14:07] <Greyscale> Pidgin no longer appears in the system tray after a reinstall of it
[14:08] <soreau> Darks7ar: Sure beats trying to compile some kernel code without building the kernel :P
[14:08] <Greyscale> and it crashes at random
[14:08] <Greyscale> Anyone had this issue?
[14:08] <Darks7ar> :)
[14:08] <theadmin> Greyscale: First - go to Tools - Preferences and enable the tray icon there (is it enabled already? it's disabled defaultly)
[14:08] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: one thing I was thinking though, before go through all that trouble, you might go through the problem packages dependencies with a fine tooth comb, it could be a simple case of the pkg maintainer screwing up in putting the right depends in his control file
[14:08] <Greyscale> Its gone and crashed again \o/
[14:09] <jackbrown> nstalled my Webcam drivers and they seems to works correctly (also when i reboot the system) the only problem is that when the system goes suspended then it came back my camera won't works again is anybody able to help me ?
[14:09] <wolfwalker_prime> Currently running Ubuntu 9.10.  How do you get that (deleted) (censored) (redacted) (expurgated) update manager to stop popping up?
[14:09] <umang> gautham, Yes. You're right. So that information is stored in Release, Release.gpg and Contents-i386.gz in karmic/ karmic-updates/ and karmic-security/. Download for all of them.
[14:09] <PingFloyd> tana-lab: and I've seen it where sometimes a program will simply segfault when there is a dependency missing
[14:09] <umang> gautham, Sorry, am I running ahead?
[14:09] <theadmin> wolfwalker_prime: Just a sec
[14:09] <gautham> umang: nope you are not'
[14:09] <gautham> I'm on it just wait a sec
[14:09] <Greyscale> theadmin, well, that explains the missing icon, but not the continual crashing
[14:10] <theadmin> Greyscale: Yeah, maybe it's somewhat unstable. Have no problems myself though
[14:10] <wolfwalker_prime> And why does it even pop up at all in the last two versions?  Pop-up is a bad word these days, the icon at the top right that lit up orange was enough.
[14:10] <Greyscale> Mhh
[14:10] <umang> gautham, Yes. Those are the files that contain the package information. Put them on your Ubuntu machine and add those dirs as your software sources. Then your repository info is updated. After that you can create your download script
[14:10] <tana-lab> PingFloyd: I'll check that as well
[14:11] <theadmin> wolfwalker_prime: This can be returned. Some just didn't notice it
[14:11] <erUSUL> jackbrown: put your module name in the MODULES variable in /etc/default/acpid
[14:11] <gautham> umang: will try and report back in 5 mins
[14:11] <umang> gautham, But the download script will have locations on your computer (because it assumes the whole repo is on your computer).
[14:11] <nasso_> PianoPete, okay :( i have everything except /boot encrypted. sucks to have to type the password 3 times though
[14:11] <gautham> but yeah idea is good
[14:11]  * Zuz|Home is still trying to find someone to help him get wubi to work properly, wubi installed but when the computer is restarted there is no option to select windows xp or ubuntu. Can anyone help me fix this? I think there is a way to manually add wubi to the boot loader but i dont know why...
[14:11] <umang> gautham, Yeah Sure
[14:11] <theadmin> wolfwalker_prime: Run this to return it to tray-icon mode: gconftool -s --type bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch false
[14:11] <jackbrown>  erUSUL: how can i do that ?
[14:11] <jackbrown> erUSUL: what command to check which module is running ?
[14:11] <erUSUL> jackbrown: with a text editor. « gksudo gedit /etc/default/acpid »
[14:12] <wolfwalker_prime> Thanks.
[14:12] <PianoPete> wolfwalker_prime: it was a controversial change. Mark Shuttleworth 'mandated it' ccording to the Ubuntu UK podcast series 2 ep 1 or 2.
[14:12] <erUSUL> jackbrown: lsmod
[14:12] <PianoPete> nasso_: glad it works.  SUpposed to be fixed in lucid anway.
[14:12] <jackbrown> acpid is an empty file
[14:12] <wolfwalker_prime> Well how about it pops up every oh, say.......... two weeks?
[14:12] <wolfwalker_prime> Instead of every two hours.
[14:12] <gautham> umang: wait a sec, Am I not combining the 3 repos into one ? I think I need to have 3 different folders for mirroring each of the repositories
[14:12] <tafkaz_73> hi i have following problem on my ubuntu karmic machine with pulse
[14:12] <tafkaz_73> shm_unlink(/pulse-shm-1216269539) failed: Permission denied
[14:12] <tafkaz_73> 2010-02-20 15:02:10.271 Deleting UPnP client...
[14:12] <theadmin> wolfwalker_prime: It pops up when there are "critical security updates"
[14:13] <nasso_> PianoPete, yeah. you cant be careful enough ;)
[14:13] <tafkaz_73> anyone has any idea, what could be wrong?
[14:13] <umang> gautham, I think so. So keep the three of them separately and add each one of them individually to your sources
[14:13] <nathan7> tafkaz_73: everything
[14:13]  * nathan7 hides
[14:13] <erUSUL> jackbrown: sudo aptitude install acpid
[14:13] <PianoPete> wolfwalker_prime: I thought it was supposed to pop up once a week if you hadn't run uodate or synaptic in the last 7 days
[14:13] <tafkaz_73> nathan7:  ?
[14:14] <nathan7> EVERYTHING could be wrong
[14:14] <jackbrown> erUSUL: http://www.pastebin.com/d56b6394
[14:14] <tafkaz_73> ah sorry. now i got you
[14:14] <wolfwalker_prime> Well in 9.04 it popped up every five minutes or so.  9.10 it used to pop up every week, now it's popping up every day.
[14:14]  * nathan7 pops wolfwalker_prime up
[14:15] <jackbrown> sudo aptitude install acpid  uninstalling something
[14:15] <tafkaz_73> well, i have sound and it seems working. the only prob i really have is that this error occurs, when using mythtv quite often. this makes myth very very slow actually
[14:15] <erUSUL> jackbrown: the module is "uvcvideo" afaics
[14:15] <Axius> how can I make  the terminal visible? it stays open for a few secounds and then disppears. what can I do? I use fluxbox.
[14:15] <tafkaz_73> i tried to google the thing, but i found nothing
[14:15] <tiger_> is there any way to load the kde version of ubuntu when you have the normal gnome version installed
[14:16] <wolfwalker_prime> Ah well.  Thanks theadmin.
[14:16] <theadmin> tiger_: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[14:16]  * wolfwalker_prime grabs a 50 pound sledghammer, pops nathan7 down, tips his hat to the room in general and saunters out the door.
[14:16] <PianoPete> wolfwalker_prime: have you got some PPAs in your apt sources file for something like chromium or firefox 3.6 ?
[14:16] <tiger_> thats easy
[14:16] <phong_> hi guys, sorry quick question how to  unzip the  .bz2
[14:16] <phong_> in command
[14:17] <tiger_> thanks theadmin
[14:17] <jackbrown> erUSUL: Wait A minute my camera now isn't working cos i have been suspended, and i installed a r5u87x driver module, it's better me to reboo then run lsmod when camera is working ?
[14:17] <phong_> tar -vxjf  ?
[14:17] <erUSUL> jackbrown: yes
[14:17] <jackbrown> i'll back in 1 minute wait please
[14:17] <PianoPete> phong_: bunzip2
[14:17] <jackbrown> tnx for helping
[14:17] <nasso_> PianoPete, i dont understand how crypttab works, maybe you can help me there? how the hell can the system read from /etc/crypttab when / is encrypted? :)
[14:17] <erUSUL> phong_: if it is a tar.bz2 ; yes
[14:17] <erUSUL> phong_: if it is only bzip2 then use bunzip
[14:18]  * nathan7 denies Access_Denied 
[14:18] <PianoPete> nasso_: that's outside my expertise :-(  I only encrypt home.
[14:18] <phong_> ok
[14:18] <gautham> umang: I finished mirroring each repo into a folder. now time to actually try the thing out...
[14:19] <umang> gautham, Yeah. Tell me if it works. (You may need to remove the other sources so that Ubuntu doesn't get stuck on them)
[14:19] <watoo> #ubuntu-fr-meeting@freenode.org
[14:19] <erUSUL> watoo: /j #ubuntu-fr-meeting
[14:19] <umang> gautham, But it should skip them if it can't connect, so I doubt that's a problem.
[14:19] <jackbrown> erUSUL camera is still not working!!
[14:19] <jackbrown> fuck
[14:19] <mauri> i need a program to manipulates pdf file (apart PDFEDIT that has a little problem), any suggests?
[14:20] <theadmin> !language | jackbrown
[14:20] <johntramp> hi what is better, sun-java6-jre or openjdk-6-jre ?
[14:20] <theadmin> mauri: OpenOffice has a plugin for that
[14:20] <SolarisBoy> family friendly?
[14:20] <SolarisBoy> heh
[14:20] <jackbrown> erUSUL: could u take a look here?
[14:20] <erUSUL> jackbrown: sun's is not free but it is more complete
[14:20] <theadmin> johntramp: Oracle one works better, but is closed-source (I think), while openjdk is opensource
[14:21] <erUSUL> jackbrown: where?
[14:21] <jackbrown> http://www.tomfotherby.com/blog/index.php/2010/01/ubuntu-9-10-on-a-sony-vaio-vgn-ar51e/
[14:21] <gautham> umang: since I used ubuntu actively only 2 years back I forgot most of synaptic. how do I add a folder as a source ?
[14:21] <tafkaz_73> hm....i could provide with more info, but i would appreciate someone telling me which info is needed to solve my issue
[14:21] <jackbrown> erUSUL i would like to make my camera working once for all !!  please help me

[14:25] <phong_> any help please?
[14:25] <erUSUL> jackbrown: are you in the video group ? run « id » on a terminal
[14:25] <umang> gautham, deb file:///home/path/to/repository SuiteCodename main restricted universe multiverse
[14:25] <umang> gautham, edit appropriately
[14:25] <erUSUL> phong_: why are you compiling from source?

[14:25] <theadmin> phong_: You need to install 32-bit libraries or use a 32-bit system. No idea how to do first one.
[14:25] <umang> gautham, Oops.
[14:25] <theadmin> phong_: Better idea is to use their PPA
[14:25] <erUSUL> phong_: wine's ppa works extremely well
[14:25] <erUSUL> !ppa | phong_
[14:25] <theadmin> phong_: Even better one is a dual boot :D
[14:25] <phong_> erUSUL,  but the ppa is not the latest one
[14:25] <umang> gautham, you need to go to Other software and add these from there. (forgot to say that first) :P
[14:25] <erUSUL> jackbrown: just that????????!!!!!
[14:25] <jackbrown> yes
[14:26] <jackbrown> id was that
[14:26] <jackbrown> i ran id on a terminal
[14:26] <erUSUL> phong_: yes it is; today i got 1.1.39
[14:26] <jackbrown> i ge just that string
[14:26] <phong_> sure?
[14:26] <erUSUL> jackbrown: you are not in admin nor in plugdev not in audio?
[14:26] <erUSUL> phong_: you have to install wine1.2
[14:26] <LaLeche> g'day
[14:26] <jackbrown> erUSUL: sorry?
[14:26] <phong_> oh
[14:26] <erUSUL> !info wine1.2
[14:26] <LaLeche> how do I get apt to install KDE 4.4 ?
[14:26] <phong_> erUSUL, oh, so install the 1.2 then do upgrade?
[14:27] <theadmin> phong_: Well, I run Windows 7 alongside Ubuntu, so I don't really use WINE anymore, but last I used, package was called "wine1.2"
[14:27] <LaLeche> current kubuntu-desktop provides only 4.2
[14:27] <erUSUL> phong_: and add their ppa
[14:27] <jackbrown> id a root  "uid=0(root) gid=0(root) gruppi=0(root)"
[14:27] <theadmin> LaLeche: Huh? If I recall correctly, Karmic had 4.3

Then I accidentally closed the window (why was this possible? :-( ) and the burning was interrupted. Now - even after a restart and reinstall of brasero - I cannot do the same again. After selecting the .img file it tells me that it isn't able to determi
[14:28] <phong_> erUSUL,  it is posible they will make wine work 100% with windows app in the fugure?

[14:28] <mobileuser> any way to make a bluetooth internet work?
[14:28] <erUSUL> jackbrown: yours should be similar if your user has admin rights and is the first user of the system

[14:28] <umang> gautham, OK. :)
[14:28] <Vampire0> determi?
[14:28] <jackbrown> erUSUL what should i do? Changing user rights ?
[14:29] <theadmin> JC_Denton_: LOL. Ubuntu can't have malware... check your Windows if you have one.
[14:29] <erUSUL> phong_: do not even microsoft is 100% compatible with all windows programs
[14:29] <LaLeche> i have 9.10
[14:29] <gautham> umang: errr wait a sec, the main universe and multiverse should be in same line ?
[14:29] <erUSUL> jackbrown: can you use sudo ? if you are not in admin you shouldn't be able to
[14:29] <jackbrown> ok
[14:29] <jackbrown> via sudo
[14:29] <Vampire0> theadmin: What do you mean by "determi"?
[14:30] <theadmin> Vampire0: Last word in your message was "determi", no idea what YOU meant by it
[14:30] <umang> gautham, I'm not 100% sure. See if it works. If not, add as separate lines...
[14:30] <erUSUL> theadmin: but it is posible to set up postfix as open relay and become a spam sender
[14:30] <umang> :P
[14:30] <LaLeche> theadmin, do I need to add another PPA?
[14:30] <theadmin> LaLeche: Not sure if KDE devs have one
[14:30] <mobileuser> any way to make a bluetooth internet work in ubuntu?
[14:30] <Vampire0> After selecting the .img file it tells me that it isn't able to determine the format. :-(
[14:30] <erUSUL> JC_Denton_: check if you are running a mail server missconfigured
[14:30] <Vampire0> @ theadmin
[14:30] <jackbrown> done
[14:30] <theadmin> Vampire0: Strange, but it means that it damaged the file and you have to get it again.
[14:31] <Axius> How can I edit the system startup file to boot directly into cli?
[14:31] <erUSUL> jackbrown: done; what?

[14:31] <erUSUL> phong_: yes you can; but as i said is wine1.2
[14:31] <mamous> any idea any one ?
[14:31] <Vampire0> The file is fine theadmin. I reunpacked it from the archive and I can play it with vlc and I can mount it fine

[14:33] <erUSUL> phong_: i do not choose the names; why is called windows? it is not something you can open in a house's wall ?
[14:33] <theadmin> phong_: The acronym "WINE" means "WINE Is No Emulator"
[14:33] <Out`Of`Control> How do i enable 3d desktop?

[14:34] <Vampire0> What is K3B?
[14:34] <theadmin> Vampire0: KDE disc burner

[14:35] <Out`Of`Control> i get same error as here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4695604&postcount=130
[14:35] <Vampire0> I'm very confused that it worked once but won't anymore now

[14:35] <theadmin> Vampire0: You see, Brasero is one of not many buggy applications of Ubuntu
[14:35] <raven> who knows something about HPC and OPENMOSIX? please pn me...
[14:35] <gautham> umang: wow synaptic crashed
[14:35] <erUSUL> phong_: you added wine's ppa?
[14:35] <Vampire0> Ah, is it? :-(
[14:35] <phong_> erUSUL, yes
[14:36] <theadmin> phong_: After adding the PPA, remove "wine" package and install "wine1.2"
[14:36] <umang> gautham, Ouch. Was that during the refreshing of the repos?
[14:36] <phong_> ok
[14:36] <Vampire0> I wonder that it got the default then. Not what I'm used to from Ubuntu. *g*
[14:36] <iceroot> Out`Of`Control: i guess you want compiz
[14:36] <erUSUL> phong_: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install wine1.2
[14:36] <gautham> umang: malformed line in source list
[14:36] <gautham> umang: yup
[14:36] <umang> gautham, Then try splitting it into the one line for each main/universe/etc

[14:37] <iceroot> !compiz | Out`Of`Control
[14:37] <phong_> ok
[14:37] <Out`Of`Control> thanks i check it :)
[14:37] <phong_> erUSUL, why is it wine1.2 when there is only 1.1.39

[14:37] <theadmin> Meh, compiz... a hungry, hungry beast... Sorry for offtopic just now
[14:37] <jackbrown> erUSUL: which is the command to watch which modules are running?
[14:38] <iceroot> jackbrown: lsmod
[14:38] <erUSUL> jackbrown: do « gksudo gedit /etc/default/acpid » and add the modulename to the MODULES variable. it shoudl end up MODULES="module_name"
[14:38] <jackbrown> rUSUL: i rebooted and now camera is working, what should i check to make if works after suspend too ?

[14:39] <mobileuser> wine sucks doesnt work as expected
[14:39] <kidd_> anyone got a rtl8185l wifi card working?
[14:39] <linxeh> mobileuser: wine is an incredible feat
[14:39] <jackbrown> erUSUL: i heard that this module has a problem with uvcvideo  ? do i have to uninstall it too?
[14:40] <phong_> mobileuser, that is why i prefer beer
[14:40] <iceroot> mobileuser: write something better
[14:40] <erUSUL> jackbrown: do ot think so
[14:40] <erUSUL> jackbrown: do not think so
[14:40] <jackbrown> erUSUL: ok
[14:40] <jackbrown> erUSUL acpid is an empty file what should i add?
[14:41] <gautham> umang: I dont think thats the problem
[14:42] <gautham> because its the exact way the official repos are designed
[14:42] <erUSUL> jackbrown: that can not be ... do oyu have acpid and apci-support installed ?
[14:42] <gautham> umang: the apt line for the other repos in sources.list have similar syntax
[14:43] <umang> gautham, Could you put your sources.list on pastebin?
[14:43] <gautham> umang: errr will be a bit hard since its on a laptop without net
[14:43] <gautham> which line do you want ?
[14:43] <umang> gautham, Forgot. :P
[14:43] <jackbrown> erUSUL i installed as you say but it seems that he removed package, do i have to check and install it from packages manager?
[14:43] <umang> OK. Show me the line with a local repository
[14:44] <erUSUL> jackbrown: yes
[14:44] <gautham> umang: wait a sec
[14:44] <jackbrown> erUSUL: doing that thanks
[14:45] <LaLeche> any way to save alsa mixer settings?
[14:45] <jackbrown> erUSUL: they are both installed  green square
[14:45] <LaLeche> also the gnome volume mic controller doesn't control the right input
[14:45] <finneysan> can anyone help with Samba network drive mounting?
[14:45] <LaLeche> it says microphone, but I get a lot of hissing to matter if it's turned all the way down
[14:45] <LaLeche> using `alsamixer` actually lets me control the right inputs
[14:45] <LaLeche> but doesn't save
[14:46] <jackbrown> erUSUL: i'm scanning the harddrive maybe is in adifferent path acpid
[14:46] <dominator> yyu
[14:46] <stefaan> Problem: the files of our dia scanner produce 256MB raw data for each dia. So it's clear that this needs a large backup. Is a raid solution acceptable knowing that large disk (1,5TB) arrays intend to fail faster and that this backup system runs only max 20 hours a year ( data is read and written 3x a year to this backup server.) Is radi under such conditions a good choise is teh far more expensive tape backup a better choise?
[14:47] <erUSUL> jackbrown: dpkg -L acpid ---> shows /etc/default/acpid as belonging to that package
[14:47] <gautham> umang: found the error myself. was a lone double quote which caused the problems
[14:47] <erUSUL> jackbrown: make sure you did not mad a typo
[14:47] <gautham> typo
[14:47] <gautham> :(
[14:47] <gautham> umang: now how do I disable the official repos ?
[14:48] <stefaan> or..if the drives are linked as JBOD

[14:51] <erUSUL> jackbrown: nope; it is puzzling

[14:51] <jackbrown> erUSUL: want me try to suspend so we'll see if the camera module will turn off?
[14:52] <mdg> tsimpson: I did it from command line - copied command from instruction page - how do I determine what directory I need to be in?
[14:52] <adalal> hello, anyone knows where the radio list for rhythmbox is stored?#

[14:52] <phong_> sux shlt
[14:52] <phong_> erUSUL, why?
[14:52] <tsimpson> mdg: use a file manager I guess
[14:52] <umang> gautham, Oh. Just a second.
[14:53] <theadmin> Okay, repeating time.
[14:53] <theadmin> Can I embed HTML pages to GNOME desktop like in... ugh... Window$?
[14:53] <mdg> tsimpson: Okay.  Anything else I need to do?

[14:53] <theadmin> ikonia: Nah, i have something like this here...
[14:53] <z0man> Does anyone know if anyone has made like a CD that contains all the main popular packages and dependant files, such as VLC and the plugins required.?
[14:53] <erUSUL> phong_: run winecfg from a terminal
[14:53] <ikonia> theadmin: then why are you asking ?
[14:53] <tsimpson> mdg: once you find the directory, you type "cd /directory/name" (replacing /directory/name), then continue with the commands
[14:53] <jackbrown> erUSUL: camera is dead  no suggestion
[14:54] <jackbrown> erUSUL: thanks anyway
[14:54] <erUSUL> z0man: probably if they do it would ilegal to distribute it
[14:54] <adalal> z0man: you could make that, it isn't that hard :P
[14:54] <theadmin> ikonia: I am currently on windows. It doesn't just display images for me... or do you mean Ubuntu?
[14:54] <erUSUL> z0man: that's why they are not included in the first place

[14:55] <tsimpson> mdg: I guess you should install libfaad-dev
[14:55] <z0man> I have been helping a friend get Ubuntu, yet they have no Internet access and know how huge some of the package dependencies are required

[14:55] <stefaan> Will123456: face it, the bottleneck in performace is the USB bus

[14:56] <umang> gautham, Although it shouldn't be too hard to write a shell script to do it.
[14:56] <adalal> dizzycat: i do realise that i can do that, but I have a long list of streams that I want to add, so, I'd just like to know where the list is actually stored, so that I can just as easily create a script to import the lines from a server
[14:56] <umang> gautham, Oh. But that'll have to be for Windows, no?
[14:56] <Will123456> stefaan: definitely, yeah. it's especially annoying when accessing different menus (i'm using the netbook remix) - if there was any way to force it to read those menu items at start up and remember them, it'd be great
[14:57] <kidd_> anyone had issues installing a realtek rtl8185l wifi card?
[14:57] <heroin> Hey everyone, could someone helpe me upload a video to my youtube acccount? Currently i share>youtube, but now gives me some crap about login in to youtube
[14:57] <mdg> tsimpson: that helped some - now new error- CMake Error at src/cmake_install.cmake:41 (FILE): file INSTALL cannot copy file "/home/marsha/pianobar/src/pianobar" to "/usr/local/bin/pianobar".
[14:57] <Will123456> adalal: the USB stick is because i'm waiting for the real harddrive to comem back from repairs, so no swap :)
[14:57] <ikonia> Will123456: you said you where using a full ubuntu install - not netbook
[14:57] <mdg> Call Stack (most recent call first): cmake_install.cmake:41 (INCLUDE)
[14:57]  * porkpie thinks it's broken http://chi​llville.co​staeye.com​:8000/  
[14:57] <theadmin> heroin: Well, you need to log in first of course :D Sorry, we're not youtube support
[14:57] <gautham> umang: right now I will make something for myself. the next time I get a few hours free time, maybe I can actually write a python app which does the job for any computer
[14:57] <dizzycat> adalal: i'm sorry i don't know where they are stored.
[14:57] <Will123456> ikonia: sorry, by "full install" i meant "not a live disc/usb" - sorry about that
[14:57] <ikonia> heroin: youtube has it's support contacts
[14:57] <tsimpson> mdg: you need to use "sudo make install", rather than "make install"
[14:57] <ikonia> Will123456: not a problem
[14:57] <bazhang> porkpie, it wants to open in movieplayer
[14:57] <umang> gautham, Yeah. That should be a good idea.
[14:58] <mdg> tsimpson: /msg smacks forehead DOH!
[14:58] <heroin> theadmin: well i think it has to do android, i can upload to picasa fine for images
[14:58] <stefaan> Will123456:  strill, the extenal harddisk is still slower due to USB limitations and sure when there are other USB devices connected
[14:58] <mdg> tsimpson: thanks!
[14:58] <tsimpson> :)
[14:58] <porkpie> bazhang: does it play back in movie player?
[14:58] <phong_> wine client error:0: version mismatch 0/395.
[14:58] <phong_> Your wineserver binary was not upgraded correctly,
[14:58] <phong_> or you have an older one somewhere in your PATH.
[14:58] <phong_> Or maybe the wrong wineserver is still running?
[14:58] <FloodBot2> phong_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:58] <theadmin> heroin: :/ You can use your Google account to log in, so if you upload Picasa fine, you will be able to use same credentials for Youtube
[14:58] <phong_> oops
[14:58] <heroin> ikonia: theadmin but android sends the video with a differnt login then my google one, instead of phoenix81000@***.com it tries phoenix81000@youtube.com
[14:58] <Will123456> ikonia: the netbook remix is pretty much the same thing as the full version anyway, to be honest :P
[14:58] <ikonia> heroin: we don't support android here
[14:58] <ikonia> heroin: this is ubuntu support
[14:59] <adalal> Will123456: running of a USB drive will always be slower, the only other thing i can think of is increasing the RAM space, reducing the load by turning off services not required, and maybe create a ramdisk to temporarily store files you want to use immediately
[14:59] <heroin> theadmin: thats what i though aswell but apparently not
[14:59] <umang> gautham, Does this help? : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/AptOff
[14:59] <ikonia> Will123456: couple of kernel tweaks
[14:59] <adalal> dizzycat: thanks
[14:59] <heroin> what is this ubuntu channel!?
[14:59] <heroin> ooh my bad wrong channel :D
[14:59] <theadmin> heroin: Uh, yes.
[14:59] <bazhang> porkpie, yes
[14:59] <heroin> sorry forgot irc.ubuntu.com auto logs in to this channel :D
[14:59] <heroin> ttyl
[14:59] <mdg> tsimpson: awesome!  Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!
[14:59] <porkpie> bazhang: what the quality like
[15:00] <Will123456> ikonia: i'm did a free and it looks like there's about 800 megs of RAM *really* being used, so i guess that's not bad
[15:00] <phong_> erUSUL, check this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/380401/
[15:00] <theadmin> ikonia: Anyway, what I want is something like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2012912/Screenshot.png - anyway possible, even remotely?
[15:00] <ikonia> Will123456: that's more like it
[15:00] <Will123456> adalal: yeah, i've got /tmp on RAM and put the firefox cache on it , as well as setting noatime and nodiratime
[15:00] <ismael_> hola
[15:00] <ikonia> theadmin: you can use desktop screenlets to get that sort of effect, not html though
[15:00] <erUSUL> phong_: do you purged wine before installing wine1.2 ?
[15:01] <phong_> no
[15:01] <phong_> i have not a clue who to do it
[15:01] <theadmin> ikonia: Hm... Well, I want it to display both real time and the normal one, I don't think screenlets do that
[15:01] <phong_> should i do sudo apt-get remove wine
[15:01] <Will123456> adalal: annoyingly firefox seems to be particularly slow when storing bookmarks and so on-  i suppose that's SQL lite not playing well with something that isn't heavily cached (like an hdd?)?
[15:01] <ikonia> theadmin: then you can't do what you want
[15:01] <damjanzg> is it problem if lsmod | grep nvidia returns two output?
[15:01] <Vampire0> Thanks theadmin with k3b burning went like a charm. Just the DVD Player won't play it now. On the computer it works fine. *grml*
[15:02] <theadmin> ikonia: Well, frack it then :D Gotta get used to the fact that Ubuntu is weaker then windows in SOME places... stronger in most though
[15:02] <rumen> hello i need some help for uBUNTO
[15:02] <bazhang> Vampire0, you want to make files playable via a dvd player? you may wish to try something like devede then
[15:02] <umang> gautham, If the previous link doesn't help and you write one, then you should definitely publish it. It would help lots of people. :)
[15:02] <rumen> who can help me ?
[15:03] <Will123456> thanks for your help adalal, stefaan, ikonia - you've been a great help :)
[15:03] <erUSUL> !ask | rumen
[15:03] <rumen> well ok :) thank you My first question is my Ubunto does not want to reboot the comuter
[15:04] <theadmin> Vampire0: No prob, always GLaD to help
[15:04] <rumen> how can solve the problem ?
[15:04] <ikonia> rumen: what do you mean does not want to reboot it, can you explain what you are doing ?
[15:04] <theadmin> rumen: ... Eh, it is Ubuntu, not "Ubunto". Anyway, what do you mean, does not reboto?
[15:05] <rumen> when i press at upper right corner : user and after that i press Restart ... the computers turns on black screen and it's all ...
[15:05] <theadmin> rumen: s/reboto/reboot
[15:05] <Vampire0> bazhang: It is an .img of a DVD, so it should work, shouldn't it? Maybe I burnt too fast, it is an old DVD player
[15:06] <theadmin> rumen: Sounds like something is wrong. Do you see anything like "The system is going down for reboot NOW" or "* Will now reboot..."
[15:06] <strawdonkey> Hello everyone. I was looking for a little advice on installing Ubuntu on an IDE Flash Module, and sizings and such
[15:06] <bazhang> Vampire0, burned as data via k3b? no.
[15:06] <rumen> theadmin: no there is no such msg
[15:06] <nasso_> strawdonkey, partitionsizing?
[15:06] <sewey> Question.. I installed the Ubuntu Net-book Remix on a HP Mini 1101 and neither the wireless or wired network drivers would work.
[15:06] <theadmin> rumen: Something does not get killed properly then. Can you reboot directly with "sudo init 6"?
[15:07] <Vampire0> bazhang: Burned as image via k3b. As I said in the computer the burned disc works like a normal Video DVD
[15:07] <rumen> maybe i must explain the whole situation ... i just installed ubunto on ASUS F5N without any drivers or anything other
[15:07] <maximilian> Hi, does anyone know why games like Neverball dont use my Graphicchip? [nVidia Corporation NV34M [GeForce FX Go5200 32M/64M] @ Intel Corporation 82855PM Processor to I/O Controller]
[15:07] <strawdonkey> nasso_: Well, I want to install Ubuntu on an IDE Flash module, but I need to buy one that is an appropriate size. I will be booting from the IDE Flash Module and storing data on a HDD.
[15:07] <adalal> rumen: does it shutdown cleanly when you try?
[15:07] <erUSUL> !nvidia | maximilian
[15:08] <theadmin> rumen: Drivers have nothing to do with it. And it's ubuntu, not ubunto.
[15:08] <umang> gautham, Did that last link help>
[15:08] <maximilian> glxgears is working...
[15:08] <strawdonkey> nasso_: The thing I'm wondering is, I want to buy the smallest one possible, as they're expensive! If I could install it on a 1GB one that'd be great, but I can't find any info on what is a suitable size for installation
[15:08] <maximilian> Desktop effects too
[15:08] <rumen> ok sorry i'll type Ubuntu
[15:08] <rumen> well what can i do ? to have clear restart
[15:09] <adalal> rumen: does your computer shut down cleanly?
[15:09] <rumen> no
[15:09] <nasso_> strawdonkey, system requirements is 4b
[15:09] <sawek> hello
[15:09] <gautham> umang: I just phoned up a python programmer friend of mine and he is helping me with the script
[15:09] <theadmin> rumen: Ah, so shutting down doesn't work too. We're getting somewhere. Could it be that init is not accepting runlevel changes?
[15:09] <nasso_> strawdonkey, i just did a clean install in a vm of ubuntu 9.10. will check its size
[15:09] <umang> gautham, :)
[15:09] <strawdonkey> nasso_: Thank you
[15:10] <adalal> rumen: whats your graphic card?
[15:10] <rumen> nvidia 7000M
[15:10] <theadmin> rumen: If so, it's a bad install... adalal: What does it have to do with graphic chipsets?
[15:10] <linuxman410> i have a friend who is still running 7.10 is that safe
[15:11] <rumen> i installed something like drivers :) for video card
[15:11] <paula> ola
[15:11] <theadmin> linuxman410: Safe, yeah, but not really a good idea to run old stuff
[15:11] <rumen> because i'm trying to ... set smaller size of all things
[15:11] <rumen> can i do it ?
[15:11] <nasso_> linucks, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases
[15:11] <blakkheim> linuxman410: no, 7.10 doesn't get security updates anymore, it's not safe
[15:11] <theadmin> rumen: You can change screen resolution by going to System -> Preferences -> Display
[15:11] <adalal> theadmin: i used to have trouble having clean shutdown, which I corrected by purging the ati driver (proprietory) and reinstalling it, and reconfiguring my x server
[15:11] <nasso_> linucks, you can see how long each release is supported there
[15:11] <theadmin> adalal: Strange
[15:12] <adalal> theadmin: from what i remember, plus the driver also caused conflicts with my touchscreen driver..
[15:12] <rumen> theadmin: yes i changed it from there but its 1280 x 900 :(
[15:12] <theadmin> ...the more I know about Linux the more cool it feels. And more confusing.
[15:12] <theadmin> rumen: Could you get any higher on Windows? If no, can't help
[15:12] <nasso_> linuxman410, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases it was meant for you
[15:12] <nasso_> linuxman410, check how long each release is supported
[15:12] <rumen> yes on windows have higher
[15:12] <rumen> 1440 x 900
[15:13] <rumen> and i can not set it here
[15:13] <linuxman410> thanks for help guys
[15:13] <Pip> Hello, how to get the deb package of firefox ?
[15:14] <rumen> theadmin: the resolution is not bigger problem. The problem is with shutdown and restart
[15:14] <citypop> pip goto Mozilla.org
[15:14] <nasso_> strawdonkey, / uses 2,6gb and /boot uses 64
[15:15] <Pip> citypop, is there ?
[15:15] <_MaaX_> hi...
[15:15] <_MaaX_> I'm maximilian ^^
[15:15] <strawdonkey> @nasso_: Would there be a way to cut that down to, say, 2GB?
[15:15] <_MaaX_> What was with my question?
[15:15] <nasso_> strawdonkey, no
[15:15] <_MaaX_> Smuxi is shit XD
[15:15] <_MaaX_> XCHat ftw!
[15:15] <nasso_> strawdonkey, you would have to create an custom install using the server-installation cd
[15:16] <autoclesis> !smuxi
[15:16] <nasso_> strawdonkey, or maybe xubuntu?
[15:16] <strawdonkey> nasso_: I tried Xubuntu, it seemed unreliable; I think it has something to do with VIA chipsets, or maybe I installed it wrong ;)
[15:16] <nasso_> strawdonkey, the installcd creates an 2,6 gb installation. nothing you can do about that without doing a custom installation
[15:16] <strawdonkey> nasso_: Either way, after a weekend of messing around, I installed plain Ubuntu and everything worked great, so I don't really fancy the Xubuntu experience again just yet.
[15:17] <strawdonkey> nasso_: Is there a guide or at least a starter on the web for how to do a custom installation?
[15:17] <Pip> citypop, did you see deb package on firefox official web site ?
[15:17] <mrproper> rg
[15:18] <citypop> pip yes their is a tarball there
[15:18] <phong_> erUSUL, it's working...i have to remove and reboot then install

[15:21] <Vampire0> @ bazhang and theadmin: Like I suspected, the DVD player is too old to read 24x burned. With 4x burned it works fine.

[15:22] <koskov> phong_,  sure, but i want to extract the file for index.
[15:23] <koskov> and won't do 900 operations for that, just run a command like unpack all rar files in this catalog (weither there is 1 og 900 files and/or catalog's in it)

[15:40] <sebsebseb> xfact: Amarok is a KDE app,  which means you can also ask for help in #kubuntu
[15:41] <xfact> Which professional support? I want to know
[15:41] <SolarisBoy> there has to be loads more documentation on linux/ubuntu than there would ever be for MS
[15:41] <sebsebseb> !support | xfact
[15:41] <xfact> ubuntu giving any professional or spacial support?
[15:41] <hakaishi> xfact: what distribution and what version do you use?
[15:41] <sebsebseb> xfact: go o the support link
[15:41] <SolarisBoy> Red Hat does
[15:41] <sebsebseb> go on the
[15:42] <xfact> hakaishi, The latest Ubuntu desktop version Karmic
[15:42] <eer> help me figure out my mic please, internal - stopeed working after installing oos or something for the tuxguitar
[15:42] <spydon> I just installed ubuntu 9.10 and after installing nvidia 185 the login screen flickers very much, any tips?
[15:43] <hakaishi> xfact: strange... did you already try a reinstall of amarok?
[15:43] <sixzerofour|jps> so, my laptop ran out of power and the system shutdown, now when i boot it up ubuntu does a file system check of / no big deal, then it does /home, well the % complete on home is -087356785385% ... I don't have that kind of time, and if i hit esc to cancel the checks, kde won't load and i am stuck at a terminal
[15:43] <isaquealves> xfact: what exactly you was doing when the error was reported?
[15:44] <xfact> hakaishi, No, now I am uninstalling Amarok, it happened suddenly, even last day it was working fine
[15:44] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: you need to fsck the disk then
[15:44] <pokui> nm. looks like bluetooth-properties wants to be run as root.
[15:44] <pokui> sick.
[15:44] <sixzerofour|jps> how do i do that SolarisBoy ?
[15:44] <sixzerofour|jps> i got ubutnu yesterday
[15:44] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: let the fsck operation complete next time be patient
[15:45] <sixzerofour|jps> why is it saying like -9388976986% complete?
[15:45] <xfact> isaquealves, Nothing spacial, I just opened Amarok today and it showed this message!
[15:45] <nyaa> is there an easy way to swap out to a low latency kernel without basically reinstalling?
[15:45] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: thats odd output regardless of whatever,, it sounds that you need to correct FS errors
[15:45] <sixzerofour|jps> fs?
[15:46] <nyaa> file system
[15:46] <SolarisBoy> File System
[15:46] <sixzerofour|jps> how dfo i do all that?
[15:46] <xfact> I have to much program in my PC, I think I should uninstall some useless programs, may be those are conflicting with each other!
[15:46] <_Narc_> Sorry to ask again folks. Any idea why my 16 GB USB key takes forever to mount (or doesn't mount at all) on my first Ubuntu box and mounts instantly on Win and my other Karmic box ? Thanks a lot.
[15:46] <sixzerofour|jps> kde started..now lets see if it loads properly this time
[15:46] <hakaishi> xfact: I don't really believe that.
[15:46] <isaquealves> xfact: so, I think that, if it was working before, probably, your amarok config was damaged...
[15:46] <SolarisBoy> it was happening,, you stopped it,, when you get dropped back to that terminal,, is the reason kde wont load most likely
[15:46] <nyaa> _Narc_ have you tried other things in the same drive you are mounting it in that goes slow?
[15:47] <xfact> hakaishi, I am newand do not understand technical matters, so this is my thinking...
[15:47] <sixzerofour|jps> yeah the kde laoding thing is stuck on the HD icon apparently
[15:47] <Lasthope106> I tried setting up Ubuntu 9.10 to work for dual monitors.  I logged out, and now its telling me it couldn't find the right graphics configuration and it asks me if I want to run in low graphics mode.  Can anyone help me getting back to the original settings?
[15:47] <hakaishi> xfact: If isaquealves is right, then a reinstallation might really do the trick.
[15:47] <isaquealves> you dont need to uninstall, just rm the old user conf
[15:48] <sixzerofour|jps> any ideas SolarisBoy?
[15:48] <gregg> hi all - new kubuntu install here, but I think my question isn't kubuntu specific - I connect to the net via wireless... would like to mount a samba share, just want to know the easiest/best way to do it...? The network interface in dolphin is nice but I'd like to run a few of my folders as if they were local (my music collection, for example...)
[15:48] <SolarisBoy> isaquealves: is correct
[15:48] <_Narc_> nyaa: Sorry I don't get what you mean :)
[15:48] <hakaishi> isaquealves: xfact already uninstalled it...
[15:48] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: i just informed you
[15:48] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: fsck the disk
[15:48] <SolarisBoy> !fsck
[15:48] <xfact> isaquealves, yup, but I am very basic user and this is my personal PC (nobody else uses that) so it is very strange that it damaged itself!
[15:48] <nyaa> _Narc_ perhaps the problem is the port, have you tested it with other drives to see if it goes faster or is still slow?
[15:48] <nastas> hi all
[15:49] <isaquealves> and if it matters, i could suggest you to use exaile or rhythmbox (the default player...)
[15:49] <sixzerofour|jps> how can i get to a terminal?
[15:49] <sixzerofour|jps> i know there is an alt+f command for it
[15:49] <_Narc_> nyaa: Oh, ya, I tested it with 4 four different USB ports and my other 8 GB key works like a charm.
[15:49] <xfact> hakaishi, I do not have plan to reinstall it again, rhythambox is enough for groove, well thanks for showing interest :)
[15:49] <isaquealves> CTRL + ALT + F1
[15:49] <munky> can anyone help me with my firefox and ubunto
[15:50] <nastas> sixzerofour|jps: alt+f2 ?
[15:50] <xfact> Thanks to you too, isaquealves  :)
[15:50] <LateralForce> I have a question about GNOME power manager. It says in help that action is only taken when CPU is idle. Whats the default threshold for idle and where do i change it? (I've checked gconf-editor and i didn't find anything)
[15:50] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: had you not stated that after you cancel the fix that runs automagically,, you get dropped to a shell?
[15:51] <xfact> Installing KDE apps in gnome can cause problems?
[15:51] <SolarisBoy> LateralForce: no afaik
[15:51] <_Narc_> nyaa: The strange thing is that it mounts perfectly on my older box but very slowly or not at all on my first Ubuntu system... And both use Karmic.
[15:51] <SolarisBoy> xfact: not really can be buggy but just install kde libs
[15:51] <gregg> hi all - would like to mount a samba share in kubuntu, just want to know the easiest/best way to do it...? The network interface in dolphin is nice but I'd like to run a few of my folders as if they were local (my music collection, for example...)
[15:51] <SolarisBoy> amarok works fine for me,, and if and when it doesn't i blow away the profile
[15:51] <sixzerofour|jps> ok i did the force shotdfown and scan SolarisBoy
[15:51] <nyaa> _Narc_ the problem may then be a driver issue, but I am not sure what sort of drivers ubuntu uses to deal with usb, or really how to change them properly
[15:51] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: cool beans
[15:51] <sixzerofour|jps> lets see what happens SolarisBoy
[15:51] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: get some coffee
[15:52] <Alan502> Hi :) I'm using kubuntu, how do i update firefox 3.5 to 3.6?
[15:52] <jgcp> ISSUE: 32 gb ipod touch is not recognized by banshe, gtkpod, etc. when i plug it in, it comes up as a digital camera. I have searched online and tried a few things. I just want to be able to syng new music I have recently acquired! Please help!
[15:52] <isaquealves> xfact: you will need to install kde libs and and other kde packages
[15:52] <LateralForce> SolarisBoy: Ok, the reason im asking is im trying disable suspending when im listening to music f.e. Do you have any advice?
[15:52] <xfact> I think now I should also install dbg files with every apps from now...
[15:53] <munky> any seen a firefox update turn the firefox program in to a empty shell
[15:53] <_Narc_> nyaa: Yes, that's what I thought but I'm a bit clueless too :) Thanks anyway
[15:54] <SolarisBoy> LateralForce: afaik you can enable or disable suspending
[15:54] <Tayl> Hmm. Just done an update, computer crashed half way through and now I'm having endless problems.
[15:54] <Tayl> Trying to log onto the forum to post the details but Firefox updated and is now being pathetic with cookie handling.
[15:54] <trism> Alan502: several methods listed here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion
[15:54] <jgcp> Anyone?
[15:54] <SolarisBoy> the idle option is saying that when the CPU is doing something it shouldn't suspend
[15:54] <SolarisBoy> so im not sure the answer for that
[15:55] <Alan502> trism, thanks thanks
[15:55]  * xfact Wishes if he could be 'expert' like others then he could also handle everything 'smartly' himself :( 
[15:55] <SolarisBoy> xfact: awwwww
[15:55] <munky> i have issues with firefox not loading, only empty shells ****help please***
[15:56] <sixzerofour|jps> SolarisBoy it seems to be loading normally
[15:56] <SolarisBoy> sweet
[15:56] <sixzerofour|jps> it didn't
[15:56] <sixzerofour|jps> lol
[15:56] <sixzerofour|jps> the kde bar is not there

[15:57] <SolarisBoy> ok man fsck
[15:57] <zack_22> hey....how do u register nick...this is my first time on an irc channel?
[15:57] <sixzerofour|jps> firefox and amsn were opened, i clsoed them
[15:57] <nyaa> _Narc_ are you using 64 bit?
[15:57] <sixzerofour|jps> i did fsck
[15:57] <trism> !register | zack_22
[15:57] <sixzerofour|jps> twice
[15:57] <tut__> hi can't fix grub2 on linux install
[15:57] <zack_22> thanks trism
[15:57] <_Narc_> nyaa: No
[15:57] <nastas> sixzerofour|jps: what exactly you want to do?
[15:57] <sixzerofour|jps> kde isn't loading properly
[15:57] <sixzerofour|jps> kubuntu is not active channel
[15:58] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: so,,,when this occured initially what happend?
[15:58] <sixzerofour|jps> laptop lost pwoer
[15:58] <tut__> when chroot I got: "grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /."
[15:58] <sixzerofour|jps> when i rebooted kde didn't load
[15:58] <sixzerofour|jps> properly
[15:58] <SolarisBoy> so it went hard down
[15:58] <nyaa> _Narc_ this solution may help, people on a forum said it wasn't specific to 64 bit even though it was shown first there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/177235
[15:58] <SolarisBoy> ok so fsck the disk
[15:58] <sixzerofour|jps> i thought i just did
[15:58] <tut__> any idea?
[15:58] <SolarisBoy> i think you may not have done so correctly
[15:58] <tut__> when chroot I got: "grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /."
[15:58] <_Narc_> nyaa: I read about the module ehci_hcd being responsible for USB key problems but modprobe say "not found"
[15:59] <_Narc_> nyaa: Oh, thanks
[15:59] <sixzerofour|jps> what is tghe correct?
[15:59] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: are you able to type and are you able to take the root user?
[15:59] <sixzerofour|jps> i'm at terminal
[15:59] <tut__> any grub2 guru?
[15:59] <shenmue> ку =)
[15:59] <SolarisBoy> ok
[15:59] <Pekka_> Can someone help me with trust tablet? I don't know how to get it working
[15:59] <SolarisBoy> type dmesg |egrep -i 'scsi|ide|error'
[16:00] <tut__> any grub2 guru?
[16:00] <tut__> when chroot I got: "grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /."
[16:00] <sixzerofour|jps> ok
[16:00] <sixzerofour|jps> then waht?
[16:00] <LateralForce> SolarisBoy: Well, is there any quick way of disabling suspend? Maybe i could make a script.. But would suspend be enabled on reboot or do i need to make another script to enable it during boot?
[16:00] <SolarisBoy> in general i want you to look for disk errors in logs,, as i believe thats the issue,, as you stated a fsck operation started but you stopped it,,
[16:00] <SolarisBoy> LateralForce: ofcourse
[16:01] <sixzerofour|jps> what do errors look like?..lol
[16:01] <SolarisBoy> LateralForce: disable from power options,, it can be done in script not sure how though..
[16:01] <_Narc_> nyaa: Yes, I read about rmmod the ehci_hcd module but apparently, it doesn't exist on Karmic anymore, modprobe says "not found" when I try.

[16:01] <LateralForce> SolarisBoy: will it change pemanently or only for the session?
[16:02] <SolarisBoy> permanently
[16:02] <tut__> can't modify grub from livecd
[16:02] <tut__> update-grub for Grub2 doesn't work in chroot
[16:02] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: in some cases they say 'error' in others they rather verbosely explain what happend.. it should be obvious
[16:02] <tut__> any idea?
[16:03] <cousteau> is there a way to see the content of a font without installing it?
[16:03] <tut__> someone?
[16:03] <sixzerofour|jps> nothing looiks like an error
[16:03] <sixzerofour|jps> SolarisBoy

[16:04] <blablabla> hi! i installed songbird in /usr/local/bin/songbird and made a softlink with sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/songbird/songbird /usr/local/bin/Songbird. when i try to start songbird with the command Songbird. i get the error message Songbird: Cannot execute. but when i start ist with /usr/local/bin/songbird/songbird it works does anyone have an idea what i did wrong??
[16:04] <LateralForce> SolarisBoy: Is it possible to make a script thats run before suspend that checks somehow if sound is playing?
[16:04] <Lasthope106> where is the user configuration file for the graphics located?
[16:04] <tut__> any grub2 guru?
[16:04] <SolarisBoy> LateralForce: its not about the sound its about the idle value of the CPU
[16:05] <guntbert> !repeat | tut__
[16:05] <SolarisBoy> the PC depicted that its not doing anything so it will suspend
[16:05] <LateralForce> yeah i know but i want it to be disabled when playing sound, do you think that is possible somehow?
[16:05] <LateralForce> music*
[16:05] <SolarisBoy> if you want to be nasty right a for loop to make the loads higher while you listen to music =)
[16:05] <damjanzg> How to enable privilages for another user to view files from other partitions on my disk?

[16:06] <zorn^^> hello, do someone have the problem :" version GLIBCXX_3.4.11" about libstdc++.so.6?
[16:06] <zorn^^> not found
[16:06] <damjanzg> :SolarisBoy and what parameters
[16:06] <guntbert> zorn^^: what are you trying to do?
[16:06] <SolarisBoy> depends on what you need to do
[16:07] <sixzerofour|jps> SolarisBoy should i just run the fsck again like before?
[16:07] <zorn^^> guntbert: i installed EMSO simulator, but when i launch it, i receive that message
[16:07] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: well im interested in knowing exactly the issue unfortunately i dought if you will be able to send screenshot or pastebins
[16:07] <Pekka_> Can someone help me with trust tablet? I don't know how to get it working
[16:08] <sixzerofour|jps> lol, i can try taking pics with my digital camera SolarisBoy
[16:08] <alphacharlie_> how to upgrade gtk+?my current version is 1.2.10.i want to upgrade it to 2.18.0.is there any easy way?
[16:08] <zorn^^> it seems (and i verified it) that the libstdc++.so.6 misses GLIBCXX3.4.11
[16:08] <guntbert> zorn^^: (no idea what that is) - how did you install it?
[16:08] <sixzerofour|jps> but i don't think you can take snaopshots of a pc screen
[16:08] <SolarisBoy> sounds like your in a maintenance or single user mode due to the fact the machine lost power and HDD came back in NOT OK state,, in general that means that you should fsck,, however the drive may be H/W damaged..
[16:08] <SolarisBoy> less likely
[16:08] <sixzerofour|jps> hardware damaged?
[16:09] <SolarisBoy> power loss can cause issues like that,, not often
[16:09] <sixzerofour|jps> sure, but, fsck comes up clean
[16:09] <LateralForce> SolarisBoy: Actually when using grooveshark firefox uses ~20% cpu ^^ and it still suspends.. Do you know where i can find information about the idle threshold power manager uses?
[16:09] <sixzerofour|jps> its kde thats broke
[16:09] <munky> anyone know why my firefox opens a empty terminal after i updated it, and uninstalled it and reinstalled it
[16:09] <zorn^^> guntbert: this lib is called by many programs, so i think it's kind of bug
[16:09] <SolarisBoy> ok so what was occuring when the power was lost?
[16:09] <sixzerofour|jps> i can still use firefox and amsn when it loads
[16:09] <jgcp> ISSUE: 32 gb ipod touch is not recognized by banshe, gtkpod, etc. when i plug it in, it comes up as a digital camera. I have searched online and tried a few things. I just want to be able to syng new music I have recently acquired! Please help!
[16:09] <sixzerofour|jps> i was talking in irc
[16:09] <sixzerofour|jps> SolarisBoy
[16:10] <sixzerofour|jps> it told me power is gone in 30 seconds
[16:10] <sixzerofour|jps> it will go to rammode
[16:10] <Whitor> Hi. In a dual display setup, how do I control the display my main navigation panel is on? (the panel at the top of the screen in gnome)
[16:10] <sixzerofour|jps> i plugged in the pwoer, it still went off...screen went black, 5 minutes later i just shut the pwoer off
[16:10] <Pip> Please give me a link of ubuntu repository URLS ?
[16:10] <SolarisBoy> heh
[16:10] <Pip> I want to download the firefox deb package manually
[16:10] <IdleOne> Pip: packages.ubuntu.com
[16:11] <zorn^^> guntbert: i called "strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX
[16:11] <un214> hi
[16:11] <SolarisBoy> so you actually just let the battery die,,,
[16:11] <isaquealves> sixzerofour|jps: your problem is related to X?
[16:11] <zorn^^> and i verified that the version 11 is missing
[16:11] <un214> Is there a good way to download a bunch of extra packages and their dependencies for burning to cd for offline install
[16:11] <zorn^^> i'm on ubuntu 9.94
[16:11] <zorn^^> 9.04
[16:11] <sixzerofour|jps> SolarisBoy ive never had a laptop before, i don't know the ettiqette
[16:11] <Pip> is there any difference between 9.04 package and 9.10 package of the same package ?
[16:11] <Pip> *s/package/version
[16:11] <sixzerofour|jps> is that bad? lol
[16:11] <Xcell> my cdrom quits 5 mins after boot, is there anything in here to fix that  ?  http://www.pastebin.com/m6f48832a
[16:12] <sixzerofour|jps> i wish it would warn me when the bat is at like 10%
[16:12] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: no worries,, it sounds like you had the laptop on without being plugged in until the battery power depleted....
[16:12] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: it should and likely did
[16:12] <sixzerofour|jps> but it only toldme when there was 30 seconds left
[16:12] <SolarisBoy> hmm
[16:13] <sixzerofour|jps> i doubt i use 10% of the bat every 30 seconds lol
[16:13] <JoeSomebody> can someone good at samba check this? (i think it is what i used before) is it accurate before i try it ? http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-samba-server-on-ubuntu/ or is there a better / recommended one ?
[16:13] <sixzerofour|jps> this isn't 1989
[16:13] <SolarisBoy> thats odd my laptop keeps battery icon in my tool bar,, it tells me the status constantly and waaay before i lost battery power i would know
[16:13] <sixzerofour|jps> its fscking the / partition now
[16:13] <sixzerofour|jps> i have it in the tool bar
[16:13] <sixzerofour|jps> but it didn't say anything
[16:13] <guntbert> zorn^^: sorry - I was searching - but it seem EMSO is not in the repos - one possibilty: install libcwd (it seems to contain a glibcxx)
[16:13] <sixzerofour|jps> i just woke up,turned the laptop on,and started doing my stuff
[16:14] <sixzerofour|jps> guess it lost its charge over night
[16:14] <SolarisBoy> hmm i dont think your fsking / unless you boot into single user mode...
[16:14] <sixzerofour|jps> should i keep it plugged in overnight?
[16:14] <guntbert> !enter | sixzerofour|jps
[16:14] <SolarisBoy> are you sure the fsking is completing succesfully ?
[16:14] <zorn^^> guntbert: yes it's not in repo, i'll try with your suggest
[16:14] <guntbert> zorn^^: Good luck :-)
[16:14] <sixzerofour|jps> it goes
[16:14] <SolarisBoy> 5 steps and clears errors?
[16:15] <sixzerofour|jps> well kde jsut asked me for my pass
[16:15] <SolarisBoy> ok
[16:15] <sixzerofour|jps> but again, the kde tool abr isn't loading
[16:15] <sixzerofour|jps> or the desktop icons
[16:15] <sixzerofour|jps> just firefox and amsn
[16:15] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: so this is an issue in your kde
[16:15] <Jedcat> Hi!
[16:15] <sixzerofour|jps> yes
[16:15] <Pip> what's the latest firefox version number on ubuntu 9.10
[16:16] <sixzerofour|jps> #kubuntu doesn't talk much :(
[16:16] <SolarisBoy> i use gnome =)
[16:16] <IdleOne> Pip: 3.5.2 iirc
[16:16] <guntbert> sixzerofour|jps: you are scrolling the channel - please don't press <enter> so often
[16:16] <Pip> IdleOne, Not 3.5.8 ?
[16:16] <IdleOne> could be Pip
[16:16] <VCoolio> Pip: yep
[16:16] <sixzerofour|jps> SolarisBoy what is gnome like?, i was thinking of going to basic ubuntu and trying gnome,but i heard its teh suck,compared to kde
[16:16] <Jedcat> mv xx/lol/omg /etc/mail or mw /xx/lol/omg /etc/mail? Which of this commands is correct?
[16:16] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: people with lousy computers only say that
[16:16] <Pip> What's the latest version of firefox on latest Uubntu version?
[16:16] <IdleOne> Pip: yeah 3.5.8
[16:17] <isaquealves> sixzerofour|jps: you could try to remove the old kde config dir...
[16:17] <sixzerofour|jps> SolarisBoy so gnome is cpu hog?
[16:17] <SolarisBoy> not for me
[16:17] <sixzerofour|jps> isaquealves how do i do that?
[16:17] <SolarisBoy> it can be on a moderately resourced system
[16:17] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: im not suggesting you use gnome,, i think you should fix the issue,,
[16:18] <sixzerofour|jps> SolarisBoy i know, i like kde anyways, i know it best
[16:18] <Jedcat> блін, капець... Росіяни, українці, є хтось!?!?!!??!?!
[16:18] <IdleOne> !ru
[16:18] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: try google,, i recently heard someone with this issue,,
[16:18] <IdleOne> !po
[16:18] <Jedcat> ru!?!?
[16:18] <IdleOne> !pl
[16:18] <Jedcat> I am from Ukraine
[16:18] <Jedcat> lol
[16:18] <SolarisBoy> i think they moved some of their dot files from under their home and restarted the box
[16:19] <IdleOne> Jedcat: well then speak english if you can :)
[16:19] <Jedcat> OK)
[16:19] <Jedcat> I can)
[16:19] <sixzerofour|jps> SolarisBoy i have no idea what that is lol
[16:19] <Jedcat> but not so good, as you
[16:19] <isaquealves> sixzerofour|jps: rm -rf /home/yourusername/.kde
[16:19] <IdleOne> Jedcat: you are doing fine
[16:19] <SolarisBoy> sixzerofour|jps: 'ls ~/.*'
[16:19] <Xcell> my cdrom wont recognize any cd  5 mins after boot, does this look normal  ?   http://www.pastebin.com/m6f48832a
[16:19] <SolarisBoy> then do what isaquealves told
[16:19] <sixzerofour|jps> ok isaquealves
[16:19] <SolarisBoy> or mv it even =)... im a pack rat
[16:20] <umang> Hi, I installed vim recently and now my default editor changed from nano to vim. However, the editor env variable has not been set. (And grep's for vim and nano both fail). So what makes vim my editor now?
[16:20] <citypop> !ubuntu | ubooto russian
[16:20] <isaquealves> sixzerofour|jps: do it in comand line
[16:20] <sixzerofour|jps> isaquealves then what? [it went back to prompt]
[16:20] <eremite> Im trying to install FireFox 3.6 but it's not showing up in my menus, nor can I find an FireFox 3.6 files on my computer.  I tried several terminal-based tutorials and nothing's worked.  How do I installed the version from the Mozilla site manually?
[16:21] <guntbert> umang: in the command line or with nautilus?
[16:21] <isaquealves> sixzerofour|jps: restart...
[16:21] <damjanzg> I cant set persmission with chmod for my partition that is ntfs?
[16:21] <umang> guntbert, Command line (specifically for bzr ci's)
[16:21] <sixzerofour|jps> is there a command to restart, or jsut hit power button?
[16:21] <SolarisBoy> oh ntfs...
[16:21] <Jedcat> ﻿citypop: lol
[16:21] <dust_t> hello I am learning java server pages. I installed tomcat6 using this https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/tomcat.html But now I am not sure what is the document root for this.
[16:21] <VCoolio> umang: if "echo $EDITOR" doesn't reply with vim maybe check "alternatives" ("galternatives" for a gui)
[16:21] <SolarisBoy> you set the permissions on the mount point....
[16:21] <citypop> jedcat yea
[16:21] <damjanzg> is there solution for permitions on ntfs
[16:22] <sixzerofour|jps> sudo reboot worked
[16:22] <isaquealves> sixzerofour|jps: CTLR + ALT + DELETE
[16:22] <umang> VCoolio, How do I check alternatives?
[16:22] <SolarisBoy> sudo update-alternatives –config editor
[16:22] <damjanzg> And that is where I was setting a permission
[16:23] <Jedcat> ﻿citypop:﻿ I am not russian =___=
[16:23] <umang> eremite, http://ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net/
[16:23] <_Narc_> Any Kernel/modules guru knows what's replacing the ehci_hcd module in Karmic, or why I can't modprobe it (not found) ? Thanks a lot.
[16:23] <SolarisBoy> dust_t: webapps
[16:23] <guntbert> umang: ah, I guess my question was a bit silly: how does the choice of "default" affect you in CLI? why not just type nano ... ?
[16:23] <VCoolio> umang: sorry, it's update-alternatives and kind of tricky, use galternatives, is much easier
[16:23] <sixzerofour|jps> it worked isaquealves thankies!
[16:23] <SolarisBoy> dust_t: though its off topic it is webapps
[16:23] <sixzerofour|jps> now back to my original problem...
[16:24] <isaquealves> sixzerofour|jps: what is your 'original problem'?
[16:24] <umang> guntbert, Uh, bzr automatically chooses vim now, but I want to know why (I know how to change it back to nano by adding a line to .bashrc).
[16:24] <erUSUL> _Narc_: maybe it is compiled in (not a module anymore)
[16:24] <xgvictoriax> I am having trouble with my second screen, i plugged into my laptop and it works fine but when i move the mouse the second screen moves, like the whole desktop moves if im ove the mouse against an edge of the screen, this only happens on the second screen,, how can i fix this?
[16:24] <sixzerofour|jps> when visiting sites like youtube in firefox, i get no sound, but i have sound when i do something in the os
[16:24] <sixzerofour|jps> isaquealves
[16:24] <erUSUL> _Narc_: they done this with a lot modules in karmic
[16:24] <jgcp> Can anyone tell me how to make an ipod touch recognized as an ipod instead of a camera? Please pm me if you can help
[16:24] <guntbert> umang: sorry, I am a bit slow today ...  understood
[16:24] <SolarisBoy> i dont think ubuntu pays any attention to EDITOR variable i tried setting my default to vi like that
[16:25] <SolarisBoy> never worked
[16:25] <DexterLB> hi
[16:25] <Pip> what does "firefox-3.1-dbg " mean ?
[16:25] <DexterLB> can I use launchpad for projects that are not software? e.g. blender movies etc? And use bzr to upload the blend files?
[16:25] <DexterLB> I asked in #launchpad but there's no answer...
[16:25] <DexterLB> Pip: debugging symbols
[16:25] <erUSUL> !ipod
[16:25] <_Narc_> erUSUL: Oh, ok, I see. Thanks. It means I can't rmmod or modprobe -r, right ?
[16:25] <erUSUL> _Narc_: right
[16:25] <isaquealves> sixzerofour|jps: what is the kubuntu version?
[16:25] <umang> VCoolio, Again, I'm not trying to change it, I know how to. I want to know why bzr decided to start using vim instead of nano. (Unless there is a pecking order hardcoded to bzr).
[16:25] <Pip> dexash, Should I use that package ?
[16:25] <adalal> what does this mean: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
[16:25] <_Narc_> erUSUL: That's a real bummer :)
[16:25] <DexterLB> Pip: If firefox crashes you can generate an useful crash report
[16:25] <sixzerofour|jps> the latest i downloaded it eysterday [9.10 i think?]
[16:25] <Lasthope106> help! I changed the xorg.conf file and now I can't boot
[16:26] <SolarisBoy> adalal: network related
[16:26] <DexterLB> Pip: you generally don't need it
[16:26] <sixzerofour|jps> the latest i downloaded it eysterday [9.10 i think?] isaquealves
[16:26] <SolarisBoy> adalal: what was done before that?
[16:26] <erUSUL> adalal: malformed/invalid ip ?
[16:26] <SolarisBoy> sounds like it erUSUL
[16:26] <adalal> SolarisBoy, erUSUL: i know, im trying make a network alias
[16:26] <SolarisBoy> adalal: bingo
[16:26] <adalal> SolarisBoy: and?
[16:26] <SolarisBoy> adalal: check the syntax
[16:26] <umang> guntbert, (like I asked VCoolio) is there a pecking order in bzr that selects vim before nano and I don't have a default editor? printenv | grep "vim" returns nothing.
[16:27] <VCoolio> umang: couldn't it be that installing vim changed the order for xdg-open? that's what update-alternatives is about; so what has changed? $EDITOR, xdg-open, gnome-open?
[16:27] <DexterLB> or is launchpad for software only?
[16:27] <Aiky> anyone know how to get keyboard working with PCSX?
[16:27] <adalal> SolarisBoy: I just edited the network interfaces file and tried restarting the networking service
[16:27] <dust_t> SolarisBoy, thanks I did create a index page there but it is not showing.
[16:27] <adalal> SolarisBoy: seems to work, but im worried about that error
[16:27] <SolarisBoy> dust_t: you dont place html there
[16:28] <SolarisBoy> dust_t: you place web applications in
[16:28] <AviDog> hey, can anyone confirm if there is a version of flash player for PowerPC?
[16:28] <umang> VCoolio, That's even odder. xdf-open and gnome-open both used gedit! No vim.
[16:28] <SolarisBoy> dust_t: you can create other directories and you should take a look on apache site
[16:28] <adalal> erUSUL: i just changed the interfaces file, and restarted the networking service, when those flags showed up
[16:28] <SolarisBoy> read up on it
[16:28] <erUSUL> AviDog: not from adobe; you can try gnash or swfdec
[16:28] <SolarisBoy> adalal: is the interface IP correct?
[16:28] <erUSUL> adalal: post the interfaces file
[16:29] <erUSUL> !paste
[16:29] <SolarisBoy> adalal: is the syntax of file correct
[16:29] <suai> fgsjk
[16:29] <AviDog> erUSUL: Is there a difference?Like, will I have limited functionality?
[16:29] <guntbert> umang: I'm searching...
[16:29] <umang> guntbert, ok. :)
[16:29] <adalal> SolarisBoy, erUSUL: http://www.pastebin.com/d42a460a2
[16:29] <jgcp> !Roclbox
[16:29] <jgcp> !rockbox
[16:29] <erUSUL> AviDog: yes very limited afaik
[16:30] <AviDog> erUSUL: Would I, at the very least, be able to watch YouTube videos?
[16:30] <un214> anybody know where to get /etc/apt/sources.list for karmic?
[16:31] <erUSUL> AviDog: dunno never used them myself. just try
[16:31] <AviDog> How can I, in Gnome, set a panel to act as a window management panel? Like the default one the comes on the bottom.
[16:31] <_Narc_> Does anyone knows a great deal about USB and USB modules here ? :)
[16:31] <AviDog> erUSUL: Okay, thanks.
[16:31] <umang> guntbert, VCoolio:  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d774cd05
[16:32] <adalal> SolarisBoy, erUSUL: see the pastebin?
[16:32] <SolarisBoy> dust_t: in general ppl integrate tomcat (servlet container)  with apache (web server framework), using mod_jk
[16:32] <SolarisBoy> checking..
[16:32] <erUSUL> adalal: yes; i do not see anything too wrong with it ... i would use eth0 and eth0:1 as the two interfaces but other than that it looks sane
[16:33] <meelu> are there any ftp clients which have fxp and ftpes
[16:33] <meelu> ?
[16:33] <SolarisBoy> yep
[16:33] <umang> guntbert, VCoolio So, for curiosity's sake, what controls this? (i.e how did update-alternatives decide to change it to vim after I installed vim?)
[16:33] <AviDog> erUSUL: Okay, thanks.
[16:33] <SolarisBoy> you dont have a physical interface...
[16:33] <meelu> it doesnt matter
[16:33] <adalal> erUSUL: i shall try that... other than that, i just have dhcp, dns server running, and one small change in the ip tables
[16:33] <meelu> pyhsical interfce?
[16:33] <SolarisBoy> you need to have eth0 and eth0:0 or whatever you alias is
[16:33] <Charon_> What image format does CloneZilla accept?
[16:33] <SolarisBoy> yes
[16:34] <SolarisBoy> physical interface
[16:34] <meelu>  gui
[16:34] <meelu> ok
[16:34] <meelu> w/e
[16:34] <adalal> erUSUL: that did it, changing the eth0:0 to eth0 :D thanks!
[16:34] <meelu> whats it calld
[16:34] <xgvictoriax> how can i get my laptop to dual monitor
[16:34] <xgvictoriax> ?
[16:34] <SolarisBoy> adalal: as stated eth0:* isn't a physcal interface
[16:34] <SolarisBoy> which is why you got that error
[16:34] <erUSUL> adalal: no problem
[16:34] <SolarisBoy> in order to make an alias on eth0 it must exist
[16:34] <meelu> Does anyone know of any ftp clients which have fxp and ftpes
[16:34] <adalal> thanks SolarisBoy, erUSUL
[16:35] <meelu> Does anyone know of any ftp clients which have fxp and ftpes?
[16:35] <SolarisBoy> fxp?
[16:35] <Guest91942> i have 2 printers on an ubuntu machine and i can not access then from windows machines on the same LAN .I have installed samba but i think its not properly
[16:35] <guntbert> umang: no idea about that - sorry - do you already know how to change it? but please be aware of http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/tutorials/bzr-intro.html (search for default editor on that page, there is a note)
[16:35] <SolarisBoy> ftp/ssl ? is what your asking meelu ?
[16:35] <SolarisBoy> or secure ftp options? sftp, etc?
[16:35] <meelu> SolarisBoy,
[16:36] <meelu> ok ftp will do, but with tls ssl support
[16:36] <gautham> are ubuntu, xubuntu. kubuntu, edubuntu and ubuntu-studio packages all a part of the ubuntu DVD ?
[16:36] <SolarisBoy> as stated ftp/ssl?
[16:36] <SolarisBoy> yes lftp
[16:36] <tiger_> i just updated to kubuntu trough the terminal and the desktop is still like the ubuntu do i have to restart a couple of times or what
[16:36] <tiger_> gautham no they are not
[16:36] <xgvictoriax> can someone help me set up dual monitors
[16:37] <SolarisBoy> lftp speaks ftp over SSL
[16:37] <gautham> tiger_: then whats extra in the 4GB monster ?
[16:37] <AviDog> what is the best browser for a 1.5Ghz PowerPC Ubuntu system?
[16:37] <tiger_> just addon files
[16:38] <umang> guntbert, Yes. I can change it from update-alternatives (which now shows vim as default). My only question is, how did update-alternatives change the default to vim without me asking it to?
[16:38] <SolarisBoy> cause it knew vim is best
[16:38] <SolarisBoy> =)
[16:38] <gautham> well to rephrase my question, are all the "applications" inside the 4 main ISOs available in the DVD ?
[16:38] <h00k> !best | AviDog
[16:38] <tiger_> and remember that ubuntu supports a wide range of hardware new and old and all that needs to be added
[16:39] <Guest91942> i have 2 printers on an ubuntu machine and i can not access them from windows machines on the same LAN .I have installed samba but i think its not properly configured . any suggestions ?
[16:39] <erUSUL> AviDog: try epyphany with webkit backend ... or midori
[16:39] <h00k> AviDog: I've run Firefox on something similar and it runs well. Consider Chromium, also.
[16:39] <umang> guntbert, I just checked the bazaar files and there is no mention of any editor, so the only setting that was change was with update-alternatives. Do you think dpkg ran update-alternatives while I installed vim?
[16:39] <spydon> My login screen flickers very much on 9.10 with the nvidia 185 driver, can anyone help? :/
[16:40] <guntbert> umang: without looking into the packages - difficult guesswork. but the note I sent you implies that brz "expects" to work with vi/vim
[16:40] <guntbert> umang: I'sure several packages do that
[16:40] <dayo> trying to back up my home dir from a bricked karmic box with a karmic live cd. but it freezes just as the desktop is loading. i got two blank taskbars and a black desktop, a frozen progress wheel. any ideas?
[16:41] <blaha> I can get ubuntu liveCD to boot on my macbook air, and I choose "try ubuntu without installing", but then all I get is a blinking cursor in the upper-left
[16:41] <Moat> how do i unzip rars in ubuntu?
[16:42] <umang> guntbert, OK. So vim set itself as default. I don't like that, because I never asked it to, but I'll investigate a little more later (see what the package does, etc). Thanks for you help! Thank you too, VCoolio!
[16:42] <SolarisBoy> unrar x
[16:42] <SolarisBoy> Moat: ^
[16:42] <h00k> Moat: you're going to have to install unrar, first
[16:42] <Spyzer> is there any "better" alternative to wine(I am not criticizing it, it is already the best as it is).
[16:42] <blaha> moat: install package unrar
[16:42] <a> hi. is there a autohotkey equivalent in ubuntu? I wish to automate a java application by sending keystrokes and mouse click events
[16:42] <SolarisBoy> oopsy forgot that part =)
[16:42] <Moat> whats the command
[16:42] <Moat> sudo apt-get install unrar?
[16:42] <h00k> Moat: yes
[16:43] <Moat> hoorah
[16:43] <h00k> Moat: after that, it will open with Archive Manager
[16:43] <h00k> or, File Roller
[16:43] <SolarisBoy> ugh gui ..
[16:43] <SolarisBoy> blar
[16:43] <guntbert> umang: np and have fun
[16:43] <blaha> I can get ubuntu liveCD to boot on my macbook air, and I choose "try ubuntu without installing", but then all I get is a blinking cursor in the upper-left. Disc is good. Any ideas?
[16:43] <Guest91942> i have 2 printers on an ubuntu machine and i can not access then from windows machines on the same LAN .I have installed samba but i think its not properly
[16:43] <a> hi. is there a autohotkey equivalent in ubuntu? I wish to automate a java application by sending keystrokes and mouse click events
[16:43] <VCoolio> a: if you mean an apps that can handle keybindings and mousebindings with configurable commands, check xbindkeys
[16:44] <a> ty VCoolio
[16:44] <a> can i use my ahk scripts in that app?
[16:44] <damjanzg> I got problem with sound when smbdy log on my machin with ssh and play some file I lose my sound
[16:44] <VCoolio> a: sure, but it only handles one-line commands, no complete functions; so scripts are ok, yes
[16:45] <isaquealves> blaha: you could try press F4 in the options screen of the LiveCD
[16:45] <natrixnatrix89> Hi. I cant install RT61 wifi driver. I downloaded the driver, went to the directory, but after I run "make all" I get this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/380452/
[16:46] <Moat> i need a plugin to play .avi and .mpeg
[16:46] <Moat> what do i get?
[16:46] <Spyzer> is there any "better" alternative to wine(I am not criticizing it, it is already the best as it is)??
[16:47] <erUSUL> Moat: install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[16:47] <Basstard`> you could try beer..
[16:47] <erUSUL> Spyzer: buy cedega or crossover-office
[16:47] <Spyzer> k
[16:47] <erUSUL> Spyzer: they are just wine rip-offs but may work better in some specific app
[16:48] <Spyzer> oook
[16:48] <umang> guntbert, Sorry, all this would be done by debian/postinst right (vim changing my settings)?
[16:48] <swiftarrow>  Hi people!  I'm not a devel, but I'm trying to compile some software, and I'm getting an error.  Can someone take a look?  http://pastebin.com/d370e90f5 Thanks!
[16:48] <Moat> erUSUL whats the command?
[16:48] <erUSUL> natrixnatrix89: afaik that driver comes with ubuntu
[16:48] <h00k> Spyzer: those are just wine branches, but maybe better for certain things, as erUSUL said. Are you not able to find any alternatives?
[16:48] <erUSUL> Moat: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[16:48] <rabbitnightmare> I am having an issue with maya and the new ubuntu, it will go through the installation but simply fail to run

[16:49] <karlos_> All the good time of day! Who - something knows how to do that would display the icons on keyboard layout?
[16:49] <guntbert> umang: sorry, I don't even know where I could ask for this info - never handled packaging myself
[16:49] <rabbitnightmare> anyone else use alias autodesk maya?
[16:49] <umang> guntbert, OK. Thanks anyway. :)
[16:49] <enthdegree> Is there a command to print my distro name?

[16:50] <enthdegree> Pfchert, thanks.
[16:50] <blaha> isaquealves: what would I do with the options screen?
[16:50] <rabbitnightmare> idk I installed 9.10, did all the basic updates and tried to install maya on my home machine and it wont run
[16:51] <h00k> blaha: Anthony from vark here.  I just thought of something, you could try the alternate CD to install it, instead of the GUI installer.
[16:51] <lovinOS> k
[16:51] <h00k> blaha: It's quite easy to use, it's just text-based
[16:51] <rabbitnightmare> its the new 2010 version
[16:51] <LateralForce> Could somone write my nick in 1 sec (testing sound)
[16:51] <blaha> h00k: I'll try it
[16:51] <h00k> rabbitnightmare: did you try to run it from a terminal to see what is erroring out?
[16:51] <guntbert> LateralForce: please use #test
[16:51] <rabbitnightmare> just using the .src files from the disk
[16:51] <LateralForce> ty

[16:51] <karlos_> Oh shit!
[16:52] <h00k> !language | karlos_
[16:52] <rabbitnightmare> yes it just simply says *crash 1072* which is a maya only thing and since I refuse to use rhel they refuse me support
[16:52] <swiftarrow> h00k, yea... I was afeard of that.  I'm doing that too. Thought I'd try my luck.
[16:53] <h00k> rabbitnightmare: :/ good luck, I don't think there is anthing anyone else can do excep them
[16:53] <rabbitnightmare> right then lol
[16:53] <h00k> rabbitnightmare: it doesn't sound like it can't load any necessary dependencies or anything,
[16:53] <rabbitnightmare> it works fine at work because they can afford rhel
[16:53] <Charon_> I need someone familiar with CloneZilla on Ubuntu. What file format can I try to convert to so that I can use CZ to transfer this Virtual Disk Image to a partition?
[16:53] <rabbitnightmare> all dependancies are met
[16:53] <rabbitnightmare> I am using KDE like they want
[16:54] <xfact> Anybody knows any ppa for latest amarok package?
[16:54] <Charon_> .vdi files and .ovf were both ignored by CloneZilla, so what does count as an image?
[16:54] <rabbitnightmare> heh I downloaded the trial and it works
[16:55] <rabbitnightmare> nvm problem solved sorry for the inconvenience
[16:55] <DexterLB> aah come one

[17:00] <gerry_> ditto
[17:01] <a> hi. can someone help me solve this problem
[17:01] <enthdegree> It depends. What is your problem?
[17:02] <a> i downloaded iron browser and when i execute it from the terminal
[17:02] <a> i get the following dependency error
[17:02] <a> ./iron: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found
[17:02] <a> any ideas?
[17:02] <a> is it looking for some standard c++ libraries?
[17:03] <enthdegree> Hmm, maybe try apt-cache search libstdc++ and see what packages come up.
[17:03] <a> 100 odd results :/
[17:03] <adalal> i have a quick question, i have a network alias setup, but how do i make sure all local traffic goes through just one ip, while all internet queries go through another ip?
[17:03] <IdleOne> install libstdc++6-4.4-dev
[17:04] <a> ok IdleOne . ty enthdegree
[17:04] <IdleOne> a that should work
[17:04] <fabrizio> salve
[17:04] <enthdegree> libstdc++6-4.4-pic You need the dev version?
[17:04] <a> hmm it wants to install gcc and other stuff too .. installing
[17:05] <a> i want to run iron browser :)
[17:05] <a> dev or pic?
[17:05] <a> is pic .. stable version while dev is as it suggests?
[17:05] <enthdegree> I have iron. Dev is for developers. Pic is just the shared lib binaries.
[17:05] <enthdegree> Dev is like the source and stuff.
[17:06] <a> the install took 50 megs ... checking ./iron
[17:06] <h00k> adalal: er, local traffic like localmachine or local-intranet?
[17:07] <adalal> h00k: local-intranet
[17:07] <enthdegree> It's fairly rare that you need that stuff to run bins. I have iron running fine on my system, but I remember I had some problems like what you stated when I was first trying to set it up.
[17:07] <BobSapp> join #chomium
[17:07] <a> hmm .. were there any more steps apart from the standard c++ libraries ... or more afer that?
[17:07] <enthdegree> Same error? :P
[17:08] <BobSapp> Since the last chromium update I havent been able to view animated gif images in chromium does anyone else get this?
[17:08] <gerry_> BobSapp: what version?
[17:08] <BobSapp> 5.0.333.0 (39418) Ubuntu
[17:09] <adalal> h00k: im just setting up a gateway, and I want to force one IP to communicate through the gateway only to the outside network, and the other to the internal network only
[17:09] <a> same error -  /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found
[17:09] <a> now what ?
[17:09] <gerry_> BobSapp: not running that version so can't help
[17:10] <BobSapp> ger np just wondered if anyone had a clue
[17:10] <BobSapp> ok strange
[17:10] <BobSapp> I reinstalled the browser and gifs work now
[17:10] <a> umm IdleOne enthdegree ?
[17:11] <gerry_> BobSapp: glad to hear it
[17:11] <IdleOne> a: yes?

[17:45] <melodie_> hi

[17:45] <DS1> can i just copy and paste it to home
[17:46] <The_ManU_212> hi
[17:46] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad you should have told me that you are using a live cd!!
[17:46] <The_ManU_212> i have a nvidia ck804 soundchip, allr ecognized well i can configure it but cant hear anyting
[17:46] <guntbert> DS1: there is no need for that - what is your intention?
[17:46] <The_ManU_212> can u help plz
[17:46] <melodie_> I would like to ask how to reconfigure the resolution in Xubuntu Karmic, installed in Virtualbox, that offers 800x600 only ? I'd need 1024x768 :)
[17:46] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad is /dev/sda1 mounted?
[17:46] <melodie_> thanks if someone can help me
[17:46] <CkhiKuzad> yes it is
[17:46] <CkhiKuzad> as /media/disk-1
[17:46] <cellofellow> melodie_: have you installed the vbox guest additions?
[17:47] <chrisboom> sensiva: it said chmod: invalid mode: `/var/lib/backuppc' Try `chmod --help' for more information.
[17:47] <melodie_> cellofellow, not yet, what with it ?
[17:47] <DS1> guntbert: i have a script i want to run which requires it be installed in home directory
[17:47] <Roasted> do I think I deleted the original human theme that comes with ubuntu - how do I get it back?
[17:47] <Roasted> also. how do I install murrine GIT?
[17:47] <CkhiKuzad> sensiva, it is mounted as /media/disk-1 (highlighted message)
[17:47] <cellofellow> melodie_: the guest additions include a special virtualbox graphics "card" driver, which supports more resolutions.
[17:47] <guntbert> DS1: then change the script
[17:48] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad okay now you need sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk-1 hd0
[17:48] <melodie_> cellofellow, all right, I go for it and tell you what ! thks !
[17:48] <DS1> guntbert: i cant change the script how do i move the program
[17:48] <CkhiKuzad> root@ubuntu:/# grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk-1 hd0
[17:48] <CkhiKuzad> mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/disk-1/boot': No such file or directory
[17:48] <CkhiKuzad> sensiva^
[17:48] <guntbert> DS1: why can't you change the script? what is it anyway?
[17:48] <cellofellow> Roasted: search for "human" in synaptic and reinstall what you find that is installed.
[17:49] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad ls /media/disk-1 and use pastebin.com
[17:49] <DS1> guntbert: its gfortran script im not a programmer who program it
[17:49] <cellofellow> Roasted: as to murrine, there may be a PPA that will get you a more recent version, but if you want to install from git, you'll have to be comfortable with compiling stuff.
[17:49] <sriramoman> I have only root user in my system, in /etc/passwd file I changed root's shell to /usr/bin/bash
[17:49] <IsmAvatar> help. How do I install my sound driver modules? They seem to be missing, so I have no sound
[17:49] <sriramoman> now its throwing no shell error when I try to login. how do I fix this problem:( Its a virtualbox appliance on an AMD machine
[17:49] <CkhiKuzad> Sensiva i know how to use pastebin, its two lines, and i've limited ram, i cant run firefox and xchat, and nautilus, and a terminal on a livecd
[17:50] <cellofellow> sriramoman: why is bash installed in /usr instead of /?
[17:50] <guntbert> DS1: aha - what program does it need?
[17:50] <Roasted> cellofellow, well, I didnt compile anything on my laptop, and I have Murrine GIT. I want to get it on my other two Ubuntu machines and I dont know how. But like I said, I never compiled, or added a PPA...
[17:50] <CkhiKuzad> Sensiva i ls'ed
[17:50] <DS1> guntbert: he made it into a exe file for me
[17:50] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad did it show the files?
[17:50] <chrisboom> ok sorted
[17:50] <CkhiKuzad> yes it did Sensiva
[17:50] <JoeSomeBuddy> how do i reverse a sudo useradd ?
[17:50] <cellofellow> JoeSomeBuddy: userdel
[17:50] <sriramoman> cellofellow: that's the mistake I made in the file! :(
[17:51] <agdoku> I am trying to move my system to my new RAID. But I fail in moving grub2!
[17:51] <DS1> guntbert: cant i just uninstall the program then set new directory to install?
[17:51] <DS1> guntbert: i know how to uninstall it
[17:51] <cellofellow> sriramoman: ok, glad we fixed that :)
[17:51] <agdoku> I'd need some help there.
[17:51] <JoeSomeBuddy> thanks
[17:51] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad mount | grep sda1
[17:51] <theadmin> A hypothetical situation. One installed a metapackage and did not like what was in it. How does one remove this package AND everything else it installed?
[17:51] <IsmAvatar> apt-get purge
[17:51] <sriramoman> cellofellow: but now I am unable to login! how do I fix the case:(
[17:51] <agdoku> I would know how to do that in grub version 1 but grub2 does not seem to like me.
[17:51] <CkhiKuzad> /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
[17:51] <CkhiKuzad> sensiva
[17:51] <cellofellow> theadmin: you have to find all its dependencies and remove those
[17:52] <prisko> !list
[17:52] <sriramoman> coz the thing is that the entry is wrong!
[17:52] <guntbert> DS1: I asked about the other program - no you cannot reinstall it into a different directory (not with apt & co at least)
[17:52] <cellofellow> sriramoman: why are you unable to login?
[17:52] <theadmin> IsmAvatar: Hm... interesting. Say, I have kubuntu-desktop, so I sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop and it will remove KDE and all crap that comes with it?
[17:52] <Ashfire908> I'm having issues importing my ssh keys into seahorse. It keeps saying that the file has an invalid file format.
[17:52] <melodie_> cellofellow, it's not possible to install the additions without virtualbox-ose and all the depends, right ?
[17:52] <cellofellow> sriramoman: the password shouldn't be in /etc/passwd, but in /etc/shadow, and it should be hashed and salted (an encryption system).
[17:53] <cellofellow> melodie_: don't think so. I've never used the ose, just the proprietary.
[17:53] <DS1> guntbert: its a exe file which i run which is set to read a certain file under the directory set
[17:53] <chrisboom> ok, i gksudoed nautilus to open the folder. now in the gui set permissions
[17:53] <prisko> sudo apt-get install xchat
[17:53] <chrisboom> backuppc owns the folder
[17:53] <IsmAvatar> theadmin: not sure. Usually, purge just removes the package and directly associated packages, and then removes any leftover orphans
[17:53] <chrisboom> how do i set it so users can access it?
[17:53] <sriramoman> cellofellow: coz in passwd file I gave entry as /usr/bin/bash instead of /bin/bash :(
[17:53] <sriramoman> and other entries are fine!
[17:53] <CkhiKuzad> sensiva: i got this:/dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
[17:53] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad try mkdir /media/disk-1/boot then grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk-1 hd0
[17:53] <cellofellow> sriramoman: oh
[17:54] <cellofellow> sriramoman: probably best to load up a livecd and edit the /etc/passwd file that way, then.
[17:54] <guntbert> DS1: yes, and please if you want help don't fuss around (a certain..) - tell me what program is needed, then we can copy it to your home dir
[17:54] <JoeSomeBuddy> following a guide on samba i did -  sudo useradd -s /bin/true myname and it says i already exist, what is -s /bin/true?
[17:54] <sriramoman> no, I don't have access to any sort of external drive!
[17:54] <melodie_> cellofellow, when I apt-getted to virtualbox-guest-additions it brought the bunch of the rest with it
[17:54] <sriramoman> is that the only resort?
[17:54] <cellofellow> melodie_: oh, good
[17:54] <CkhiKuzad> i've done chroot to this drive Sensiva, so if i do that, it will create basically /media/disk-1/media/disk-1/boot
[17:54] <cellofellow> sriramoman: hmm :(
[17:54] <JoeSomeBuddy> whatever it is i cant do it, because i already exist :)
[17:54] <DS1> guntbert: he made the script using gfortran and its for a program called gmsh
[17:54] <melodie_> cellofellow, I also have the proprietary version, in which is this ubuntu installed. ;'D
[17:55] <cellofellow> sriramoman: do any of the other users have sudo access?
[17:55] <guntbert> melodie_: there is #vbox too - is this about installing the guest additions?
[17:55] <sriramoman> it has only root user!:D
[17:55] <melodie_> guntbert, it's about getting 1024x768 instead of 800x600 in Ubuntu Xfce, which is in a vbox machine
[17:55] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad okay try to creat boot folder on /dev/sda1 by any mean then run grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk-1 hd0
[17:55] <cellofellow> sriramoman: well, unless you can find some attack that will root the box (maybe just booting into single-user mode aka recovery mode will work)
[17:56] <cellofellow> sriramoman: ...unless you can root the box, you're screwed, I guess.
[17:56] <sriramoman> no, the single-user mode didn't help!:(
[17:56] <theadmin> I heard that Linux will stop using chmod-like system and switch to some "ACL", is it true?
[17:56] <cellofellow> sriramoman: you really don't have a USB drive you can run a live system from, or anything?
[17:56] <Roasted> Does ClamAV update automatically every day or something? Each time I open it I have updated defintiions and I never update it myself.
[17:56] <CkhiKuzad> there IS a boot folder on this drive, it has vmlinuz and initrd. i need to know the command to just reinstall grub by default
[17:57] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad what livecd are you using?
[17:57] <sriramoman> cellofellow: no, this is actually a remote system, and of now I can't get anyone to insert any physical media :-|
[17:57] <CkhiKuzad> 9.04
[17:57] <Aperculum> My battery status applet on my panel is not always detecting when I unplug my laptop
[17:57] <cellofellow> sriramoman: dang, that sucks. So, if it's a remote system, is it a vps or collocated box or something?
[17:58] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Backup,%20Repairing%20and%20Reinstalling%20GRUB
[17:58] <guntbert> DS1: well - you *could* deinstall gmsh and try to compile it yourself from source - the you have complete control over the installation
[17:58] <guntbert> *then
[17:58] <DS1> guntbert: ok ty
[17:58] <JoeSomeBuddy> help, i am almost done samba, following a guide on samba i did -  sudo useradd -s /bin/true myname and it says i already exist, what is -s /bin/true? whatever it is i cant do it, because i already exist :)
[17:58] <ysmn2> why is my windows partiton located in //computer ,as opposed to /media ?
[17:58] <CkhiKuzad> alright, thanks sensiva.
[17:58] <Some_Person> Can I reinstall GRUB on a Karmic system from a Jaunty CD?
[17:58] <sriramoman> cellofellow: no, it is not, but my friend, who's system it is, has gone to sleep:P its almost midnight here;)
[17:59] <guntbert> melodie_: if it is not solved - please join me in #vbox
[17:59] <guntbert> DS1: Good luck :-)
[17:59] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad let me know how far did you get
[17:59] <cellofellow> sriramoman: looks like you'll just have to wait till he wakes up, then. Sorry. :'(
[17:59] <theadmin> ysmn2: I think computer is a pseudo-folder listing all attached devices
[17:59] <sriramoman> sheesh fine:(
[18:00] <IsmAvatar> nobody can help me with my sound problem?
[18:00] <cellofellow> theadmin: ysmn2: yeah, in nautilus computer:// is a virtual folder that shows mounted devices.
[18:00] <theadmin> Some_Person: You shouldn't do so, Karmic is better with GRUB2, Jaunty uses GRUB1. Although Karmic CAN use GRUB1, but you really better not to
[18:00] <CkhiKuzad> crap i think im getting the lag of death
[18:00] <Some_Person> theadmin: I never upgraded to GRUB2
[18:00] <Some_Person> theadmin: so I was using GRUB1 all along
[18:01] <ysmn2> cellofellow, mounted devices are classifed separately than media ?
[18:01] <CkhiKuzad> yes, i cant touch any thing in my status bar. thats what happens with firefox on this damn liveCD
[18:01] <NemesisKaiser> Can you use the Ubuntu 9.0 Desktop CD as a boot into a system?
[18:01] <cellofellow> Some_Person: should be able to just use grub-install
[18:01] <cellofellow> ysmn2: well, devices automatically mounted by the volume management system get mount in /media and then show in computer://.
[18:01] <DS1> why cant i create folders in usr directory
[18:01] <Some_Person> Unfortunately I lost my Karmic CD and I haven't been able to get wifi working in the live Jaunty environment
[18:02] <guntbert> NemesisKaiser: yes - thats why its called live CD too
[18:02] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad okay in terminal do grub
[18:02] <CkhiKuzad> i cant get to my terminal
[18:02] <cellofellow> Some_Person: then just plug in to wired if you can.
[18:02] <guntbert> DS1: you want to d/l and compile in your home dir
[18:02] <Some_Person> cellofellow: Inconvienent
[18:02] <CkhiKuzad> my livecd just used the last of my RAM to run firefox
[18:02] <Newbuntu2> i'm looking for a good quality usb webcam that works in ubuntu - does anyone know which are good? I can't find any ubuntu-specific recent reviews...
[18:02] <ysmn2> cellofellow, cool thanks man
[18:02] <cellofellow> Some_Person: so is having a broken grub.
[18:03] <Some_Person> cellofellow: Does grub-install use /dev/sdx partition scheme or hd(x) scheme?
[18:03] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad exit firefox
[18:03] <cellofellow> Some_Person: the unix /dev stuff.
[18:03] <NemesisKaiser> Well, I am trying to boot another computer using the CD I burned yesterday, but it's not doing it.
[18:04] <theadmin> Hm, while GRUB itself is using hd(0,1) scheme... strange
[18:04] <CkhiKuzad> im just going to reboot, and try the grub install thing
[18:04] <Some_Person> cellofellow: so `sudo grub-install /dev/sda5' should install it to the partition's bootsector?
[18:04] <cellofellow> Some_Person: yes
[18:04] <guntbert> !md5sum | NemesisKaiser did you check?
[18:04] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad much better
[18:04] <CkhiKuzad> sensiva if it works, i will be coming back on in ubuntu
[18:04] <Some_Person> cellofellow: ok, thank you very much
[18:05] <DS1> guntbert: i dont think i wil need to compile, i think it will run if i make new bin directory but it says permission denied?
[18:05] <Silex> hi, I can't type chars like "è" or "à" in my terminal. The goal is to rename a directory and I'm sshing to some remote box. I suspect I have to fiddle with locales but I'm not sure
[18:05] <kosmonaut> hi there. I am wondering where rhytmbox saves covers? I just found /a folder called home/blabla/.cache/rhythmbox/covers. But in it are just a few (maybe 15 of my 500 covers)
[18:06] <kosmonaut> any ideas?
[18:06] <theadmin> Silex: The system you are sshing might not have the corresponding symbols available. If you're getting squares or question marks, this is likely. So yeah, locales are most likely
[18:06] <guntbert> DS1: as I don't really understand what you are trying to do I have to give up - sorry
[18:06] <agdoku> I need some help with grub2!
[18:07] <DS1> guntbert: i simply tried to do dipesh@home:/usr/share/doc/gmsh$ mkdir bin
[18:07] <Silex> theadmin: locale -a shows that fr_CH and all variety of utf8 stuffs is installed. It juts goes "bing" when I press the key, as if the ssh client refused to type it
[18:07] <looksharp> how to switch between keyboard layout
[18:07] <looksharp> or language
[18:07] <theadmin> Silex: Well, never actually used ssh so I'm firing in the dark here

[18:08] <IsmAvatar> looksharp: setxkbmap
[18:08] <guntbert> DS1: why? but if you think you *really* must please use sudo mkdir ....
[18:08] <Silex> theadmin: locale shows that I'm using the POSIX locale, to change it I edit /etc/environment or /etc/default/locale?
[18:08] <Silex> (and I just set LANG="fr_CH" ?
[18:08] <DS1> guntbert: oops forgot sudo
[18:09] <NemesisKaiser> What am I looking for? I'm sorta new to linux-based stuff, so excuse any comments and such that might seem odd.
[18:09] <DS1> guntbert: how do i paste the files into this new direc?
[18:10] <CShadowRun> NemesisKaiser: have you set it to boot from CD in the bios?
[18:10] <IsmAvatar> looksharp: for example: 'setxkbmap us colemak' puts me in colemak, and then 'setxkbmap us' reverts to us. I'd recommend copy-pasting the first half if you try colemak without being familiar with it :-P
[18:10] <NemesisKaiser> Yes.
[18:10] <CShadowRun> NemesisKaiser: what files are on the CD?

[18:10] <CShadowRun> oh

[18:22] <Some_Person> melodie_: It's irrelevant. I just need to know the commands to boot manually
[18:22] <melodie_> Some_Person, wouldn't it be more simple to boot a ubuntu live and repair with it's help ?
[18:22] <ikonia> DS1: use nautilus properties on it, or ls-la against it
[18:22] <Sensiva> lookitsdre did you try to re install again?
[18:22] <Some_Person> melodie_: No. I need to boot the system
[18:23] <enkidu> DS1: in terminal call "file airoil"
[18:23] <JoeSomeBuddy> can someone check my samba conf see if its ok? especially the bottom?  http://www.pastebin.com/m7fd55938 - following a forum guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605
[18:23] <Some_Person> melodie_: I've done it before. It's like 3 or 4 commands. I just need to know what they are
[18:23] <DS1> enkidu: airfoil: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, not stripped
[18:23] <ikonia> DS1: are you running a 64bit os ?
[18:23] <makina> olaaa
[18:23] <melodie_> Some_Person, something like this : kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdx ro
[18:23] <ikonia> !es | makina
[18:23] <DS1> ikonia: this is 32bit
[18:23] <ikonia> DS1: it's not going to work then
[18:24] <melodie_> where sdx is your partition where you want to boot
[18:24] <ikonia> DS1: it's a 64bit binary
[18:24] <makina> olaaaaa
[18:24] <Some_Person> melodie_: then?
[18:24] <lookitsdre> Sensiva: I did when I was in it the first time. It failed and brought me back to the cd desktop. THre is a button there to intall and I dclicked that and it failed again 3/4 of the way.  So, then I rebooted to see if it worked by chance(ha) and I can't get past the grub error.
[18:24] <melodie_> and x it's number
[18:24] <makina> de onde soys
[18:24] <ikonia> makina: english only please
[18:24] <melodie_> then type boot
[18:24] <melodie_> well
[18:24] <jpapertowel> so, using mini.iso for karmic amd64 can i load dmraid somehow
[18:24] <DS1> ah
[18:24] <melodie_> then type enter then type boot
[18:24] <Sensiva> Some_Person first assign your root part using root(hdx,y) then kernel /path/to/vmlinuz then initrd /path/to/initrd
[18:24] <melodie_> oh
[18:24] <makina> yegfegucfbg
[18:24] <makina> cgdehycgbdc
[18:24] <melodie_> maybe initrd too
[18:24] <makina> me entedeis
[18:24] <melodie_> Some_Person, let me think
[18:24] <melodie_> you type grub
[18:25] <CkhiKuzad> Sensiva, it didnt work.
[18:25] <Some_Person> Sensiva: Thanks.
[18:25] <melodie_> Sensiva, answered
[18:25] <melodie_> :)
[18:25] <Some_Person> Sensiva: Wait, where are initrd and vmlinuz located? in /boot?
[18:26] <Sensiva> lookitsdre I guess you need to check hardware requirement
[18:26] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad now is /dev/sda1 mounted?
[18:26] <melodie_> Some_Person, yes, under /boot, but there is also a link to them under /
[18:26] <Sensiva> Some_Person yeah in /boot
[18:26] <Some_Person> Sensiva, melodie_: Ok, thank you very much
[18:27] <Sensiva> uw
[18:27] <JoeSomeBuddy> almost done here, need a little help, my samba conf http://www.pastebin.com/m7fd55938 can someone have a peek? see if its ok? especially the bottom? following a forum guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605
[18:27] <CkhiKuzad> Sensiva: the grub restoration made it so grub started, but wouldnt load debian, which was the only thing on there
[18:27] <tm512> apparently I can't modprobe this? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man4/ep.4freebsd.html
[18:27] <tm512> I must get this 3c589d working
[18:27] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad since grub started, Did it show you any msgs?
[18:28] <emma> nothing i click on in flash is responding
[18:28] <al_> on a peer to peer workgroup, no domain controller, and all computers connected to a modem/router - does the switch get inolved in name resolution?
[18:28] <emma> any ideas for how to restart flash?
[18:28] <CkhiKuzad> when it started it was fine
[18:28] <ikonia> emma: I get this a ton with 9.10 and 9.04, restart the whole browser
[18:28] <lookitsdre> Hardware req? It meets it. Its had ubuntu before.  Just this install tweeked it. I've noted all the grub reinstallation instructions but I can't seem to get anywhere near a shell. The grub 17 error stops me no matter what I try for the bios startup options.
[18:28] <CkhiKuzad> but i tried to boot something Sensiva, and it gave me an error that it didnt have enough memory
[18:28] <emma> ikonia: I did restart the whole browser, that's the odd thing.
[18:28] <ikonia> emma: it's a memory leak by the look of it within the browser with flash
[18:28] <emma> I did killall firefox.
[18:29] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad how much ram is in your box?
[18:29] <ikonia> emma: that "normally" works
[18:29] <emma> Usually that works for me also.
[18:29] <guntbert> emma: kill gnash too
[18:29] <CkhiKuzad> 512 Sensiva
[18:29] <emma> Okay
[18:29] <tm512> could i get any help?
[18:29] <tm512> i need to get this 3c589d working
[18:29] <ikonia> tm512: if you ask a question, we can try
[18:29] <enkidu> tm512: it is not?
[18:29] <tm512> no it isnt
[18:29] <Sensiva> CkhiKuzad mount /dev/sda1 and cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
[18:29] <tm512> ifconfig -a only shows loopback
[18:29] <emma> guntbert: killall gnash says "gnash: no process found"
[18:30] <melodie_> tm512, what happens when you try to modprobe ?
[18:30] <enkidu> tm512: lspci shows it?
[18:30] <tm512> no
[18:30] <ikonia> emma: doubtful you're running gnash unless you've purposfully installed it
[18:30] <ikonia> tm512: then the card is dead
[18:30] <emma> I'm trying to hear the pronunciations on this page -- http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&lang=en&searchLoc=0&cmpType=relaxed&sectHdr=on&spellToler=on&chinese=both&pinyin=diacritic&search=schule&relink=on
[18:30] <tm512> it isnt broken
[18:30] <emma> ikonia: yeah I don't think I am.
[18:30] <tm512> shows on windows and mac os 8
[18:30] <melodie_> tm512, what happens when you try to modprobe ?
[18:30] <softsantear> i'm trying to install the dev package of libsqlite3 but it throws this error: libsqlite3-dev: Depends: libsqlite3-0 (= 3.6.10-1ubuntu0.2) but 3.6.22-1 is to be installed  --- any help?
[18:30] <tm512> modprobe doesnt do anything
[18:30] <emma> I used to be able to hear those pronunciations yesterday so I'm not sure what could have changed.
[18:30] <melodie_> as root ?
[18:30] <tm512> and it wont let me insmod
[18:30] <ikonia> tm512: if lscpic can't see it as a device - it's not going to work
[18:31] <enkidu> tm512: if it is not listed in lspci, then something is very wrong
[18:31] <guntbert> emma: I suggest you have a look at htop or top to see what clogs the system
[18:31] <melodie_> tm512, is it in the kernel ?
[18:31] <lookitsdre> sensiva, any thoughts on getting past my boot problem?
[18:31] <tm512> i have no clue
[18:31] <tm512> i just installed 9.10 server
[18:31] <porkpie> hey guys ... is this working  http://chillville.costaeye.com:8000/
[18:31] <ikonia> tm512: there is no point progressing anything unless lspci shows it
[18:31] <enkidu> it is in kernel
[18:31] <melodie_> zcat /proc/config.gz | grep xxxx
[18:31] <Sensiva> lookitsdre I guess you have a hardware problem, may be not, unfortunately I won't be able to help
[18:31] <CkhiKuzad> screw it, i'm going to see if i can convert everything i have to a tar archive, and then if its more than 2 gigs, im dividing it up to put it on seperate drives
[18:31] <melodie_> where xxxx is the name of the module
[18:31] <melodie_> tm512,
[18:32] <tm512> what should lspci say?
[18:32] <melodie_> zcat /proc/config.gz | grep xxxx
[18:32] <ikonia> melodie_: that doesn't matter if lspci can't see it
[18:32] <enkidu> tm512: hotplug / pcmcia enabled?
[18:32] <lookitsdre> np, thanks for the moment and have a great day!
[18:32] <ikonia> tm512: it should list your device or an unkown ethernet controller
[18:32] <tm512> i dont know
[18:32] <melodie_> ikonia, with lspci -v as root ?
[18:32] <tm512> it doesny
[18:32] <melodie_> tm512,  lspci -v as root ?
[18:32] <ikonia> melodie_: just lspci should show it
[18:32] <tm512> i will try it again
[18:32] <enkidu> tm, as root: modprobe 3c589_cs
[18:33] <guntbert> !tab | enkidu
[18:33] <ikonia> enkidu: it's not going to matter if lspci doesn't show it
[18:33] <Mean_admin> hey, I'm having trouble disabling usb automount. the fstab makes no menstion and I disabled nautilus automount in the gconf editor...
[18:33] <enkidu> guntbert: I know for what tab is, sometimes I just miss it :P
[18:33] <llutz> tm512: melodie_: grep xxx /boot/config-$(uname -r)                *buntu doesn't use /proc/config.gz
[18:34] <enkidu> ikonia: really? I have stubborn card reader, that needs to load hotplug module
[18:34] <ikonia> enkidu: there is no point loading a module if lspci doesn't see it
[18:34] <centaur5> I have minicom properly configured but nothing ever shows when I plug in my Cisco device.  I read that there was a bug with Hardy and Cisco devices but it never says it was resolved so is it impossible to use Cisco with Ubuntu?
[18:34] <enkidu> ikonia: my card reader is not shown unless I load hotplug
[18:34] <melodie_> llutz, ok
[18:34] <enkidu> so there IS point
[18:34] <ikonia> enkidu: that's nonsense
[18:35] <ikonia> enkidu: lspci is a flat file database so doesn't care what kernel modules are loaded
[18:35] <tm512> lspci -v shows the cardbus adapter, no ethernet interface
[18:35] <ax> does ubuntu have some nice/easy way to set up permissions for input devices like game pads or so i have to make udev rules?
[18:35] <ikonia> tm512: can you pastebin it please
[18:35] <enkidu> ikonia: lspci shows devices enabled on bus, pcmcia/pci-x devices can be disabled by bios
[18:35] <llutz> ax: udev is your friend
[18:35] <tm512> no, the computers not hooked up to the internet -_-
[18:35] <ikonia> enkidu: yes, so if they are disabled in the bios - loading a module will do nothing
[18:36] <tm512> and the device lights up and everything
[18:36] <_Nacho_> does anybody knows if is there a solution for the wifi issue (1Mb/s speed) with RT8710 chipset?
[18:36] <enkidu> ikonia: nonsense. I am loading hotplug module and devices are reenabled
[18:36] <ikonia> enkidu: lspci is dumb - if a device is "in" the system it should show up
[18:37] <tm512> could someone just pm me? i can hardly read this with all the join/leave messages
[18:37] <Some_Person> holy hell
[18:37] <enkidu> ikonia: lspci can miss hotpluggable devices - hotplug module can enable them and then they can show up in lspci
[18:37] <Some_Person> my /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd are missing!
[18:37] <guntbert> tm512: what is your client?
[18:37] <ikonia> enkidu: yes, if the bus is not visable (eg no module) it won't see them, but then loading the module still won't work until that module is loaded
[18:37] <DanDare> Hello. Someone can check if this works? http://189.59.131.30
[18:37] <tm512> client?
[18:37] <ax> llutz: i don't know about 'friend' maybe 'somewhat tollerable guy who does cool stuff for me'
[18:38] <tm512> oh im on freenode webchat
[18:38] <guntbert> tm512: the program you use for IRC
[18:38] <llutz> ax: you might call it enemy, but you have to use its rules :(
[18:38] <DanDare> Im installing ubuntu-server on the main machine, address is suposed to open apache´s initial screen from a temporary VM
[18:38] <_Nacho_> http://189.59.131.30/ <- it works
[18:38] <theadmin> DanDare: It works! lol
[18:38] <_Nacho_> :D
[18:39] <DanDare> Thanks _Nacho_ thanks theadmin
[18:39] <theadmin> ...apache won't listen to port 80 for me
[18:39] <ikonia> theadmin: what's the error
[18:39] <DanDare> theadmin, yout ISP blocks port 80 ?
[18:39] <theadmin> DanDare: Nah, it blocks nothing, it's like "do whatever ya want" ISP, but it gives some socket_bind error or something
[18:39] <ikonia> theadmin: paste the error
[18:40] <theadmin> ikonia: Can't do now, on the other computer
[18:40] <guntbert> tm512: we try to keep all conversations in the channel
[18:40] <Sensiva> Some_Person sometimes those files have different names
[18:40] <ikonia> theadmin: ok - then let us know when you're back, can't help without errors
[18:40] <guntbert> tm512: click on the logo in the upper left, select options, then look for "hide JOINS/PARTS/QUITS".  check that box
[18:40] <olabaz> Hey
[18:40] <Advo> how would i go about moving 2 directories /dir, /dir2 and a file.txt in one mv command, or isnt it possible?
[18:40] <seanbrystone> how do i get gnash working in firefox? I installed gnash
[18:41] <theadmin> ikonia: Sure thing, thanks
[18:41] <olabaz> I'm going to dualboot ubuntu, and I'm making a partition.  What size do you recommend I make it.
[18:41] <tm512> cool thanks
[18:41] <theadmin> olabaz: If you're not gonna put anything huge there, ~10 gigs
[18:41] <Sensiva> olabaz 10GBs are fine as a start
[18:42] <ax> llutz: yeah, i wouldn't say enemy, i just don't love the guy
[18:42] <guntbert> tm512: btw if you got questions about how to use freenode: you can ask in #freenode
[18:42] <ax> but, i got my udev rule in there
[18:42] <olabaz> ok thanks
[18:44] <Prez00> hello
[18:44] <Prez00> can I create a printer object that prints to file in karmic?
[18:44] <Some_Person> How can I regenerate everything in /boot, and can I do it for a Karmic system from a Jaunty CD?
[18:45] <ax> Prez00: I think most of the standard print dialogs do that already
[18:45] <Prez00> I have an app that does not use print to file option, and I think I remember I used to have a rpinter that "printed" to file
[18:45] <nonnewmsgs> on a livecd  i just started this computer's windows don't have titlebars at the top!
[18:45] <Prez00> ax, yep, zinio reader does not allow me use that one
[18:45] <ax> hmm, you could always just do a screen capture
[18:45] <theadmin> nonnewmsgs: Window manager dead.
[18:45] <ax> not ideal..
[18:46] <Prez00> ax, not really a great option, I know in windows I create a printer that actually prints to PDF
[18:46] <nonnewmsgs> theadmin, how do i fix that?
[18:46] <Prez00> and I think that usde to exist in linux world,
[18:46] <ax> Prez00: oh, i see what you're saying, yeah, i'm not sure..
[18:46] <theadmin> nonnewmsgs: Try starting metacity trough a terminal and tell if it gets them back. If so, then hit alt+f2 and type metacity --replace there. It will bring them back and stop it from being bound to terminal
[18:46] <ax> some 'virtual printer'..
[18:47] <RedSingularity> Hey everyone, i have a quick question.  How can i chose the mic on the headset over the mic built into the computer?

[18:53] <boss_mc> seanbrystone: q
[18:53] <seanbrystone> ty :D
[18:53] <melodie_> cellofellow, additions installed, rebooted, what's now that I must do to increase resolution ?
[18:53] <boss_mc> seanbrystone: or, for a |more window, just go to the bottom
[18:53] <seanbrystone> k
[18:54] <melodie_> cellofellow, ? are you still on the chan ?
[18:55] <melodie_> someone else ? I need to change resolution and don't know how to proceed
[18:55] <melodie_> version is Xubuntu Karmic, in vbox
[18:56] <theadmin> melodie_: There are some differences between XFCE (Xubuntu) and GNOME (Ubuntu) but in GNOME it would be system - preferences - display
[18:57] <melodie_> theadmin, thanks but I get only 800x600 as a choice, and you like to increase
[18:57] <melodie_> any other way ?
[18:57] <theadmin> melodie_: Drivers.

[18:57] <allowoverride> does a dkms mod needed to be loaded for bluetooth device? if so, how do i check ? lsmod
[18:58] <Ganymede> so this is probably a dumb question since the answer is probably no, but in ubuntu, is it possible, if i have 2 PCI 2 gigabit Fibre channel HBA cards and a multimode fibre cable, to use them for general networking (not for SAN) since i don't have gigabit ethernet cards?
[18:58] <InvaderZim> Hi. I've noted my ubuntu has some weird ownership and permissions. My root / is owned by an inexisting user id and group "dip". /usr/bin too and several binaries in there, all owned by the same uid and group dip. e.g, cginfo cgc cgfxcat. Anyone knows whats going on and how to fix it?
[18:58] <IsmAvatar> sudo chown
[18:58] <allowoverride> how can i check if my bluetooth device is working? on my laptop?
[18:58] <purpzey> Can someone tell me, what I have to add to my samba.conf to add a username and password requirement to access my server?
[18:59] <melodie_> theadmin, would vbox display 800x600 if the vbox driver was not present ?
[18:59] <allowoverride> my bluetooth device is not working , can someone assist?
[18:59] <melodie_> theadmin, " 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter
[18:59] <melodie_> "
[18:59] <theadmin> melodie_: It would, I mean, drivers are the only possible problem here...
[19:00] <melodie_> theadmin, the other possible problem is that the autodetection is lousy...
[19:00] <allowoverride> ill be painting a picture in the meantime, please pm me if you can help. thks
[19:00] <theadmin> melodie_: hm, may be, but Ubuntu autodetected just everything here, so I never thought of that, sorry.

[19:01] <melodie_> I often  take a xorg.conf from another distro to fix the problem, but I would have liked to find a Ubuntu solution to this
[19:01] <allowoverride> llutz: thanks,, brb i check
[19:02] <melodie_> cellofellow, a little earlier told me that virtualbox-guest-additions would help fix it, but now it's installed and I still don't see what to act on to fix it
[19:02] <melodie_> xrandr gives this :

[19:11] <Slart> erUSUL: I think I will put it on my todo list.. right after cleaning my desk =)
[19:11] <erUSUL> XD
[19:12] <IsmAvatar> the HDA page is a little out of date as well
[19:13] <St-Lemur> I updated my kernel and my whole nvidia config is broken
[19:13] <melodie_> about resolution : this file fixed it : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/380521/
[19:13] <mgolisch> did you install the nvidia driver manualy?
[19:13] <erUSUL> St-Lemur: how did you upgraded the kernel ? aqnd how did you installed the nvidia drivers ?
[19:13] <Slart> St-Lemur: how did you install the nvidia drivers? using the repos? the hardware drivers thingy? or some other way?=
[19:13] <melodie_> this is a pclinuxos conf file so what sort of bug report should I file ?
[19:13] <mgolisch> if yes you have to run the installer again
[19:13] <jpapertowel> jesus, i didn't know installing grub could be so hard
[19:13] <melodie_> thanks for telling me ?
[19:14] <mgolisch> its advised to use the ubuntu provided nvidia driver packages instead
[19:14] <Guest50707> how to change the vertical frequency of an external monitor (CONFIG FILES!)
[19:14] <St-Lemur> mgolisch, slart: I don't remember.
[19:14] <Advo> any ideas how to do a division when working with date, ie: date '+full-%Y%m%d.%H%M%S.%N/1000'  need to convert nanosecond(%N) / 1000
[19:14] <Slart> St-Lemur: try reinstalling the nvidia driver.. it will probably fix the problems
[19:15] <erUSUL> Advo: i do not thnk date can do math
[19:15] <St-Lemur> Slart: OK, what do I do to do that properly?
[19:15] <Slart> St-Lemur: system, administration, hardware drivers might be a good start
[19:15] <Advo> erUSUL ahh, any ideas, I can do calculation in a script maybe?
[19:16] <St-Lemur> Slart: I'm stuck in low graphics mode, can't access any menus either.
[19:16] <erUSUL> Advo: for floating point you will have to use bc
[19:16] <Advo> whats bc?
[19:16] <Slart> St-Lemur: try booting from the older kernel using the grub menu?
[19:16] <Slart> !info bc
[19:16] <St-Lemur> Slart: OK, one minute
[19:16] <erUSUL> Advo: bc <<< 'scale=2; 10/3'
[19:17] <agdoku> nobody cares about my raid problems
[19:17] <Mean_admin> so I modified the udev rules and added MODE="0666" and also tried MODE="0777" but my usb device stills mounts with 777 for files and 700 for directories!
[19:17] <agdoku> I am sitting here for half a day already with no progress at all!
[19:17] <Advo> erUSUL that went totally over my head if im honest lol
[19:17] <agdoku> please help me, sombody!
[19:18] <agdoku> I tired everything! and google was not a friend this time!
[19:18] <erUSUL> Advo: just an example on how to use bc in the command line
[19:18] <melodie_> WATED ! bug reports specialists ?
[19:18] <Advo> erUSUL im doing: date '+full-%Y%m%d.%H%M%S.%N  and with the %N i just need that converting, does that mean i need to seperate the %N?
[19:18] <melodie_> WANTED*
[19:18] <Advo> erUSUL ill try
[19:18] <melodie_> :)
[19:18] <erUSUL> Advo: yes
[19:18] <melodie_> an advise for a bug report to do, please ? ^^
[19:19] <Advo> erUSUL ahh bc <<< '704545000/1000' works
[19:19] <erUSUL> !bugs
[19:19] <B3rz3rk3r> melodie_, whats your primary language?
[19:19] <melodie_> B3rz3rk3r, french, and you ?
[19:20] <mc_> join #ubuntu.pl
[19:20] <erUSUL> !pl | mc_
[19:20] <theadmin> mc_: You want "/join #ubuntu-pl"
[19:20] <B3rz3rk3r> melodie_, try join #ubuntu-fr
[19:21] <melodie_> B3rz3rk3r, done, they don't know the answer to my question
[19:21] <melodie_> B3rz3rk3r, I'll try that : "Help -> Report a problem. "
[19:21] <melodie_> :)
[19:22] <Advo> erUSUL date '+full-%Y%m%d.%H%M%S.'bc <<< '%N/1000'  gives: full-20100220.191957.bc <<< 634788000/1000  which isnt quite right, any ideas?
[19:22] <melodie_> it looks like a start, moreover I have an account at bugzilla
[19:22] <theadmin> melodie_: Ubuntu uses Launchpad
[19:22] <B3rz3rk3r> melodie_, usually bugs are done over at Launchpad
[19:22] <melodie_> I talked too fast, there is no such menu in Xubuntu
[19:23] <IsmAvatar> the sound troubleshooter was unhelpful. The section titled "Is ALSA using the correct model" didn't really work.
[19:23] <theadmin> melodie_: Well, by the way, might be a good idea to visit #xubuntu
[19:24] <St-Lemur> Slart: that didn't help.
[19:24] <St-Lemur> startx now tells me "no screens found".
[19:24] <melodie_> theadmin, it's a common problem with Ubuntu (resolution choices too short)
[19:25] <melodie_> theadmin, so I see no reason to bother Xfce4 team for this problem which belongs most probably to main stream
[19:25] <_raven> how to change the vertical frequency of an external monitor (CONFIG FILES!)
[19:25] <melodie_> just I don't know how to explain it best
[19:25] <enkidu> _raven: config files? for what?
[19:26] <erUSUL> Advo: nano=$(date '+%N') ; nano=$(bc <<< "scale=2; $nano/1000") ; date=$(date '+full-%Y%m%d.%H%M%S') ; echo $date.$nano
[19:26] <_raven> enkidu, nvidia or xserver
[19:26] <IsmAvatar> I still need sound help... I'm at a loss here.
[19:26] <theadmin> melodie_: the "problem" here is with your video card manufacturer who has made no Linux drivers, and nobody else bothered to.
[19:26] <melodie_> theadmin, you are kidding ?
[19:26] <nmvictor> the program Java runtime control panel, how do i runit as root so i can set some system variables?
[19:26] <theadmin> melodie_: Wait, was it you with the resolution problem? I'm lost here
[19:26] <Plinker> Had the same problem with Ubuntu, tried for hours
[19:26] <melodie_> yes you must have learned this answer by repeating it serveral times
[19:26] <Advo> erUSUL a lot closer than my attempt, that produced: full-20100220.192612.381424.00  it normally does: full-20100220.084714.936   so whats the extra bits?
[19:27] <melodie_> :]
[19:27] <melodie_> theadmin, look here : http://pastebin.archlinux.fr/378250
[19:27] <melodie_> this is what has fixed the problem
[19:27] <bullgard> Gparted shows next to "Partition=/dev/sdb1" an exclamation mark in an orange triangle. What does this mean?
[19:27] <erUSUL> Advo: what extra bits?
[19:27] <melodie_> that's why I believe there is a bug
[19:27] <Edgar1> hi, I have a webcam that isnt working, when I lsusb in the terminal it doesnt show up. What can I do to enable my webcam? :)
[19:28] <tm512> just a note, i got it working
[19:28] <Advo> erUSUL see mine is:  full-20100220.084714.936  the example code you gave gives: full-20100220.192612.381424.00   so its giving me an extra 381424.00 instead of a 3 numbers on the end, get me?
[19:28] <theadmin> melodie_: Hm, if the problem lies within X then likely yes... I thought it's either the desktop or drivers, but not something that deep
[19:28] <enkidu> ikonia: it was missing userspace utility
[19:29] <St-Lemur> I'm now stuck in text-only mode, no X. nvidia drivers are buggered. How do I at least get X going again?
[19:29] <erUSUL> Advo: but what are you sding to get your result?
[19:29] <melodie_> theadmin, that's me with the resolution problem in Xubuntu in Virtualbox and I could only use one solution to fix it, by inserting a xorg.conf from another distro, which in my humble opinion seems to significate that some good tool is missing in Ubuntu to do the job. :|
[19:29] <IsmAvatar> is it normal that /dev/snd doesn't exist?
[19:29] <melodie_> theadmin, ok while I was typing I didn't see your last answer
[19:29] <bullgard> Edgar1: Probably not much. You could test it in another operating system. Look the type up in a Linux Hardware Compatibility List.
[19:30] <enkidu> IsmAvatar: yes, I dont have it
[19:30] <alabd> what's zorg license?
[19:30] <enkidu> IsmAvatar: are you using OSS drivers?
[19:30] <alabd> what's xorg license?
[19:30] <methods2> why did an update install postfix on my system ?
[19:30] <melodie_> theadmin, in an install in a real machine, last year, I had booted a Zenlive -from Zenwalk- to get a xorg.conf to fix my resolution...
[19:30] <erUSUL> alabd: MIT iirc
[19:30] <IsmAvatar> enkidu, pretty sure I'm using alsa. Should I switch to OSS?
[19:31] <methods2> WHY DID AN UPDATE INSTALL POSTFIX LISTENING ON PORT 25 ON MY DESKTOP ?
[19:31] <alabd> erUSUL: free ?
[19:31] <erUSUL> alabd: yes
[19:31] <trism> methods2: was it a google chrome update?
[19:31] <Zed1> I have a problem here I want that my partitions are mounted when when I boot in and I dont have to manually mount them so went into System>Preferences>startup application and added a new entry with this command "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/c". The command works fine when I run it from my terminal but when I restart my system I dont find my partition mounted can somebody tell what possibly might be the problem or suggest any thin related.
[19:31] <melodie_> methods2, don't yell please
[19:31] <Mar_Tzipan> hi, is there a channel for ubuntu netbook remix/eee pcs?
[19:31] <melodie_> and try to make a sentence ?
[19:31] <bullgard> methods2: Please do not use capitals all the way.
[19:31] <erUSUL> !caps | methods2
[19:31] <methods2> trism   perhaps.......
[19:31] <The_ManU_212>  i have an xml file with line 9: [...]<tag>text</tag>[...] how can i get with a shell the content between <tag> and </tag> in line 9, the text length differs daily
[19:31] <alabd> erUSUL: but without copyleft yes ?
[19:32] <enkidu> IsmAvatar: /dev/snd is AFAIR alsa-related directory
[19:32] <_raven> how to change the vertical frequency of an external monitor (CONFIG FILES!)
[19:32] <nmvictor> UBUNTU, first time I heard that, it sounded like "How Do You Do"
[19:32] <erUSUL> alabd: this is offtopic here. look up the license in google
[19:32] <trism> methods2: the latest beta chrome changed a dependency from lsb-base to lsb, so it pulled in alot of unneeded packages, I am waiting to update until someone from google responds about it
[19:32] <methods2> that's rediculous though
[19:32] <IsmAvatar> enkidu: just having sound driver problems, and the only help I'm finding on google is outdated, oftentimes commands that no longer exist, and directories that don't exist.
[19:32] <methods2> that's as bad as windows xp
[19:33] <methods2> i think it deserved caps before we get a bad rap from "safe" desktop community
[19:33] <bakeneko> I'm having a problem with high CPU usage.  I'm able to use the GUI at 1280x1024, and Hardware Drivers tells me the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 96) is active and in use.  I'm able to use Sauerbraten and Nexuiz, so I know the drivers are in play, but even just scrolling a web page will make Xorg take 100% of CPU.  RAM usages is 230/1,000 MB.
[19:34] <nmvictor> i their a way i could show all info of a process running with a PID 3566
[19:35] <tm512> okay so i've sshed into the computer, is there any way i can make a whitelist of ip addresses the user can visit
[19:35] <sixzerofour|jps> what is a good network program for sending files from one pc on ym home network to the other pc on my home network?
[19:35] <sixzerofour|jps> in kde
[19:35] <alabd> erUSUL: at first days there was no distros someone could make gnu/linux OS with gathering linux krnel + Gnu apps ,linux is under gpl and free ,  were all those GNU apps (that were used in GNU/Linux) free ?
[19:35] <hal9k2010> i am having issues with ubuntu 9.04 ppc after boot using "live-nosplash-powerpc" colors are kinda funny, how i can restore colors ?
[19:36] <sixzerofour|jps> alabd with an ayn?
[19:36] <erUSUL> alabd: yes
[19:36] <Jax> I'm having trouble installing a Lexmark driver.  I've gotten up to the part where I need to check to see if the printer backends, but when I try to use "cd /usr/lib/cups/backend" and "./z600" it results in "No such file or directory."
[19:36] <hal9k2010> anybody with ubuntu ppc experience ?
[19:36] <nmvictor> alabd: free as in freedom, not free beer
[19:37] <erUSUL> sixzerofour|jps: set up nfs? or samba ?
[19:37] <sixzerofour|jps> i think samba is what i sued year ago
[19:37] <alabd> erUSUL: are you sure ?
[19:37] <sixzerofour|jps> thanks i'll try it
[19:37] <St_Lemur> Slart: that didn't help
[19:37] <Mar_Tzipan> hi, is there a channel for ubuntu netbook remix/eee pcs?
[19:37] <haffe> nmvictor: In a study a majority of people prefered free beer to free speech.
[19:37] <bsrawat> sixzerofour|jps: can use rsync
[19:38] <nmvictor> which comand should i use if i wanted to pull down info on a process running with PID 3566?
[19:38] <erUSUL> alabd: of what? that the first linux systems where aseembled with free software? yes i'm pretty sure
[19:38] <haffe> In fact numerous studies have shown that free speech tends to follow from free beer.
[19:38] <erUSUL> nmvictor: what type of info ?
[19:38] <xyblor> what's the command to restart the X server?
[19:38] <alabd> erUSUL: humble should write it in book  is there any source for your claim ?
[19:38] <St_Lemur> xyblor: ctrl-alt-backspace
[19:39] <xyblor> St_Lemur: thanks, is there a way to do it from the command line?
[19:39] <nmvictor> erUSUL: like the command or the full path of the program command, basically just how the program is started at the terminal
[19:39] <St_Lemur> xyblor: startx?
[19:39] <bakeneko> startx?
[19:39] <purpzey> Can someone tell me, what I have to add to my samba.conf to add a username and password requirement to access my server?
[19:39] <bsrawat> security :user

[19:40] <Linuks83> /nickserv help
[19:40] <tm512> is there any way i can make a whitelist of ip addresses the user can visit
[19:40] <nmvictor> Linuks83: might wanna try /msg NickServ help
[19:40] <alabd> erUSUL:  ?
[19:40] <greezmunkey> tm512, sounds like you are using ubuntu as a firewall?
[19:40] <erUSUL> nmvictor: man ps ---> ps -p PID
[19:41] <tm512> no, but i want to give my friends all ssh accounts
[19:41] <tm512> *all my friends
[19:41] <purpzey> bsrawat: So, instead of "security = SHARE" change to "security = USER" ?
[19:41] <erUSUL> alabd: just look at how eraly distros come about. they where the work of one guy putting together free software
[19:41] <greezmunkey> tm512, to access your system over the Internet?
[19:41] <bsrawat> purpzey, yes
[19:42] <tm512> yes, we might use putty on windows to bypass websense at school
[19:42] <allowoverride> my bluetooth device is not working , can someone assist?
[19:42] <bsrawat> also u have to add system accounts to samba
[19:42] <allowoverride> llutz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/380517/
[19:42] <bsrawat> using smbpasswd -a user
[19:42] <tm512> and i dont want any illegal sites being visited by my friends
[19:43] <purpzey> bsrawat: Ok. Thanks, let me try that.
[19:43] <JoeSomeBuddy> is there a way to wipe out ALL my samba stuff and satart over? thanks for the misdirection, you know who you are
[19:43] <alabd> erUSUL: thanks
[19:43] <greezmunkey> tm512, you need to spend a lot of time learning iptables then, it's a bit too deep for here I think.
[19:44] <tm512> okay
[19:44] <justin22885> well, finally got ubuntu installed on my laptop after fixing the laptop itself which had a broken keyboard
[19:44] <justin22885> im using ubuntu with lxde
[19:44] <nmvictor> erUSUL: thanks but thats a bit general, the program i am trying to pull down info on is Java Control Panel, ps -p 3566 just displays java as the command, as opposed to ps -aux | grep 3566, it gave me the ful  path but the path was broken with a ... somewhere
[19:45] <Jax> Hey, I'm currently running Karmic and attempting to install a Lexmark 600 driver.  I've gotten up to the part where I'm supposed to check to see if the printer backends, but when I try to use "./z600," it results in "error while loading shared libraries:  libstdc++.so.5:  cannot open shared object file:  No such file or directory"  Any advice?
[19:45] <Zed1> I have a problem here I want that my partitions are mounted when when I boot in and I dont have to manually mount them so went into System>Preferences>startup application and added a new entry with this command "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/c". The command works fine when I run it from my terminal but when I restart my system I dont find my partition mounted can somebody tell what possibly might be the problem or suggest any thin related.
[19:45] <erUSUL> nmvictor: check the man page of ps it says how to get out the info you want
[19:45] <enkidu> Zed1: /etc/fstab
[19:45] <LogicalDash> Jax, have you tried just plugging the printer in and then using the printers administration application to add the driver?
[19:45] <nmvictor> Any one knows how i could start Java Contol Panel from the terminal?
[19:45] <greezmunkey> Zed1, is there an entry for that drive in /etc/fstab?
[19:46] <erUSUL> nmvictor: the -o switch
[19:46] <fantasmic> hi 2 all
[19:46] <Zed1> greezmunky: let me chech it
[19:46] <Jax> Yep.  Then, when I try to print a test page, it says "Stopping job because the scheduler could not execute a filter."
[19:46] <Aggrav8d> hi, ubuntu.  I'm trying to learn to be a better admin.  I'd like to set up a script so that with one command I can create a new user, a website subdomain, and an ftp into that subdomain, (all from the command line).  Does someone know of a tutorial that will teach me how to do this?
[19:47] <Aggrav8d> i can struggle my way through perl.
[19:48] <|dopiwan|> anyone use LogMeIn from a Linux machine to a windows machine?  If so any tips for getting clear resolution at full screen?
[19:48] <Zed1> greezmunkey: no I dont have it in /etc/fstab
[19:48] <justin22885> i think my next step is to create a desktop environment by plugging in different components to my choice of window manager... lxde seems to be components plugged into openbox
[19:48] <JoeSomeBuddy> i need samba help, from someone who knows samba, one of you really toasted me, THANKS A LOT  i am ready to reinstall ubuntu i have been asking all day , i have been asking all day, i have been asking all day, i have been asking all day
[19:49] <fantasmic> Does anybody know if it is possible to install ubuntu without installing grub? In a step-by-step install as in debian. Maybe using alternate cd?
[19:49] <JoeSomeBuddy> coudl have taken 10 minutes of someones time
[19:49] <JoeSomeBuddy> now i am toast
[19:49] <JoeSomeBuddy> and have wasted the day
[19:49] <greezmunkey> Zed1, that would be the place to put it then, take a look at the drives you have that mount at boot, and clone one, adjusting the arguments according to the drive you want mounted, easy!
[19:49] <guntbert> fantasmic: you will always need a boot manager
[19:50] <JoeSomeBuddy> where are the nice people today? i have been  polite up to now ...
[19:50] <owen1> i boot my laptop and after login i see a small white terminal instead of my desktop. startx tells me: X:user not authorize to run the X server, aborting.  here is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log - http://www.pastebin.com/m7cbefc9d
[19:50] <JoeSomeBuddy> i have been asking all day
[19:51] <JoeSomeBuddy> hello?
[19:51] <greezmunkey> Zed1, the file neds to be edited as root: sudo vi /etc/fstab, or a gui alternative (that I am unaware of)
[19:51] <diwant> Is it true 10.4 will have a 10 second boot?

[19:52] <Hennkis> ok
[19:52] <Hennkis> donde es eso]??
[19:52] <Mar_Tzipan> hi, is there a channel for ubuntu netbook remix/eee pcs?
[19:52] <guntbert> fantasmic: understood - it was only a warning not to chase the wrong rabbit :-)
[19:52] <Hennkis> y si escribo en inglés??
[19:52] <Hennkis> jejejej
[19:53] <fantasmic> Hennkis: en este mismo servidor, entra al canal #ubuntu-es, acá sólo se puede escribir en inglés
[19:53] <trism> fantasmic: the standard installer should have an option at the end whether or not you want to install grub
[19:53] <VARGUX> Hennkis: /join #ubuntu-es

[19:55] <trism> fantasmic: yeah, it should be in the Advanced... button on the Ready to Install page at the very end, where it lists the configuration
[19:55] <fantasmic> trism: i installed ubuntu several times on other pc's, and i don't remember that choice, the install process it is pretty automated (which most of the times is a great thing)

[19:58] <nizuri> i tried to install lucid-server-ppc on my powebook g4 but the installer tells me "No common CD-ROM drive was detected". the old fix was to use "modprobe ide-scsi" but that module does no longer exist. does anyone have an idea, what else i could try?
[19:58] <owen1> nmvictor: yes. when i run startx. that's all
[19:58] <neko1984> ori: that is the first step you have to do :P

[19:59] <guntbert> !language | linux
[19:59] <ori> neko1984: i have a system76. how do i download all the necessary drivers?

[20:00] <alabd> erUSUL: you said  > just look at how eraly distros come about. they where the work of one guy putting together free software
[20:00] <nmvictor> owen1: how about when you run it with admin previlages?

[20:01] <owen1> nmvictor: Fatal server error: server is already active for display 0
[20:01] <Advo> if i make a folder, by doing say mkdir /home/echo $(date '+full-%Y%m%d.%H%M%S').$(($(date +%N)/1000000)) how can i move to that same directory? because if i ran the echo again, it would be different
[20:01] <alabd> erUSUL:  see that time there were no distros so most is wrong , was gnu/linux at that time gratis ?
[20:02] <ori> neko1984: dartervultra
[20:02] <owen1> nmvictor: btw, i see the default background behind the small terminal window.

[20:22] <jrib> JoeSomeBuddy: stop trying to guilt people into helping you.  If you would actually answer people's questions and focus on your problem, you are more likely to get help.  But remember, everyone here is a volunteer and answers aren't always known.
[20:23] <Devrethman> JowSomeBuddy: What's the issue?
[20:23] <con-man> ZykoticK9, I killed the dead window but I can't reload the program.  Its webcamstudio
[20:23] <JoeSomeBuddy> i am upset, because i got BAD HELP here earlier
[20:23] <ZykoticK9> ubuntnub, to find out what adapter you have, in a terminal "lspci | grep Ethernet"

[20:25] <JoeSomeBuddy> how do i create the mount properly? and where ? and with what?
[20:25] <JoeSomeBuddy> that is drivimng me CRAZY
[20:25] <Devrethman> I don't know if there's some fancy GUI way of doing it, but I've always just done mkdir /media/SOMETHING

[20:26] <ZykoticK9> con-man, sorry re-reading my post to you -- it's ps not ls!!!
[20:26] <con-man> ZykoticK9 nothing really shows up, but ps aux shows 2 defunct process
[20:26] <Devrethman> I don't remember exactly the syntax for mount.cifs, the man page will tell you, just supply it with the options that findsmb gives you for the share you want.
[20:27] <greezmunkey> ZykoticK9, whew! could have been rm ;]
[20:27] <Devrethman> Also if you get permission errors, sudo them. I don't know which commands need root.
[20:27] <JoeSomeBuddy> Devrethman, did that says already there
[20:27] <ZykoticK9> con-man, use either "kill PID#" or "killall PROCESSNAME" of the defunct stuff
[20:27] <Devrethman> JowSomeBuddy: says what's already where?
[20:27] <ZykoticK9> greezmunkey, hopefully wouldn't make that mistake ;)

[20:28] <JoeSomeBuddy> basically i am too newbie to fix others mistakes, i dont know what to ask anymore
[20:28] <Devrethman> JoeSomeBuddy: of the stuff above I told you to do, what errors out, and what is the error
[20:28] <con-man> ZykoticK9 that doesn't work for defunct processes :(
[20:29] <nmvictor> whats the command to show difference between two files
[20:29] <loops> nmvictor, diff
[20:29] <ZykoticK9> con-man, "kill -9 PID#" or "killall -9 PROCESSNAME"?
[20:29] <con-man> ZykoticK9 even "kill -9 PID#"
[20:29] <con-man> ZykoticK9 wont work
[20:29] <JoeSomeBuddy> path = /media/MOM
[20:29] <JoeSomeBuddy> which is correct
[20:30] <JoeSomeBuddy> so wtf
[20:30] <ZykoticK9> con-man, logout / back in ?  probably the easiest
[20:30] <guntbert> ZykoticK9: a defunct process (also known as zombie) is already dead - you cannto kill it any more
[20:30] <con-man> only way is a full computer restart :( and this happens too often for me to want to do that
[20:30] <ZykoticK9> guntbert, thanks :)

[20:34] <guntbert> Devrethman: everything under /etc
[20:34] <forceflow> but all program settings and stuff should be in /me
[20:34] <ZykoticK9> ubuntnub, have you plugged in an ethernet cable and done all updates, then tried checking in Hardware Drivers afterwards?
[20:34] <con-man> guntbert, webcam studio froze on my screen and I couldnt get rid of it, I used xkill to make it go away, still cant reload it.  I do notice a couple defunct processes though.  Jave and npviewer
[20:35] <loops> con-man, my guess is that the defunct processes are a redherring, likely unrelated to the program refusing to restart.
[20:35] <greezmunkey> JoeSomeBuddy, good your samba seems to be active, is the issue that you can't connect from a Windows PC?
[20:36] <guntbert> con-man: I see: did you install it from the repositories?
[20:36] <grim_repair> I was having problems compiling gettext-tools is there anyone available to help?
[20:36] <Devrethman> guntbert: Thanks, I would have totally forgotten that.
[20:36] <con-man> guntbert, every time this happens, those two show up defunct
[20:36] <con-man> guntbert, and yes from the repositories

[20:40] <geezenslaw> Hello, I have Ubuntu 9.10 remix on my 16gb flashdrive. I did an apt-get or software manager update. now when I rebooted the system claimed I only have 128 MB of space remaining. When I installed the Ubuntu originally the largest install size allowed was 4GB which i selected. At the time i vaguely remember a installation note saying this flashdrive install size could be manually enlarged. I tried the Disk Analyzer but the only option is to move files. An

[20:40] <JoeSomeBuddy> greezmunkey, ok, and?

[20:43] <greezmunkey> JoeSomeBuddy, nobody has taken over your machine at least :)
[20:43] <guntbert> !ops | Byn_Sevgi spamming announcements
[20:43] <ZykoticK9> zeelot3k, you could ask in #ubuntu+1
[20:43] <DanDare> Or if returns just "Fobidden"
[20:43] <JoeSomeBuddy> greezmunkey, at a guess at reading that, how come there is two of me?

[20:44] <JoeSomeBuddy> maybe someone IS :)
[20:44] <InsaneMonkey02> Hey I've got a question. I new to Ubuntu, and I've yet to learn how to do this. I need to edit a file called sources.list so I can get a program to work to get my other mouse buttons to work. When I open sources.list and try to save, it doesn't let me. I think it's because of the permissions. Do I need to use sudo or something in order to be able to edit the file? Thanks!
[20:44] <con-man> guntbert, nope, the loading screen just freezes
[20:44] <DanDare> ZykoticK9, weird ! Thanks.. need fix stuff

[20:44] <octet> how can i put pastebin on my ubuntu ?
[20:44] <jgcp> purpzey, I've read the page
[20:44] <jgcp> It doesn't help.
[20:44] <con-man> guntbert, however htop shows it trying to load and java is being used.  if Jave is currently defunct, would that not explain why it wont load
[20:45] <greezmunkey> JoeSomeBuddy, the smbpasswd command will create the permissions, etc required to allow windows users to access your shares. RE: the who, thats normal. Each terminal window you open will add another entry.
[20:45] <ZykoticK9> InsaneMonkey02, "gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" will give you a GUI editor
[20:45] <jgcp> it mounts as a camera
[20:45] <JoeSomeBuddy> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently is this the proper doc?
[20:45] <InsaneMonkey02> What does gksu do?
[20:45] <ZykoticK9> InsaneMonkey02, it's sudo for graphical programs

[20:46] <mattish> daft question, when i used to open an app on my multihead setup in debian it seemed to always open on the monitor it was last used on, however it seems random in ubuntu ? is there a setting or something im missing ?
[20:46] <DanDare> Ok, can anyone test it again now? http://189.59.131.30
[20:46] <CkhiKuzad> wow, Trolls are pathetic.
[20:46] <Ganymede> in ubuntu, is it possible to use IP over FC (IPFC) if i have two 2 gbps FC HBAs?
[20:46] <guntbert> con-man: not necessarily - I wouldn't expect that - but if the program freezes every time at the same point, I'd suggest you talk to the author - be sure that zombies by themselves are no problem - rather a symptom (or even a red herring)
[20:47] <JoeSomeBuddy> scary - cant protect without putting a password in a text file?
[20:47] <jgcp> what am i testing dan?
[20:47] <purpzey> greezmunkey: I abdicate to your expertise, b/c I am positively certain that you know more than I do. But, couldn't JoeSomebody set "security = share" to see if samba worked better that way, at least temporarily?
[20:47] <InsaneMonkey02> Hey it worked! Thanks!
[20:47] <ZykoticK9> DanDare, you really shouldn't be asking this channel to test like this - but no, same error "Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to database"
[20:48] <DanDare> ZykoticK9, ok thanks. Will not ask anymore...
[20:48] <CkhiKuzad> Thanks Pepee, Histo, that other guy, and that other person. I couldn't restore my /boot/ directory, but i reinstalled instead.
[20:48] <greezmunkey> purpzey, I'm no expert, just felt the pain, I would certainly set that to see if it helps!
[20:49] <purpzey> JoeSomebody: As per your samba issue, you could try changing "security = USER" to "security = SHARE" it would not require a logon to access your share, but I've found that it works well for me on a secure home network.
[20:49] <jgcp> Can anyone tell me why my ipod mounts as a digital camera device through gphotos? And if so, PLEASE tell me how I can change the settings to recognize my ipod touch as an ipod?
[20:49] <ZykoticK9> DanDare, just an FYI it's redirecting to http://www.minasambiente.com.br/nma/
[20:50] <linuxlov3r> hi
[20:50] <DanDare> ZykoticK9, that´s right. Its my domain name
[20:50] <JoeSomeBuddy> can someone go here? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently i cant ask questions unless you go there
[20:50] <lightme> hello>
[20:50] <pfifo> I have a problem with xscreensaver, I'm running Ubuntu version 9.10 Live CD. When I try to do lock the screen, And then move the mouse, It instantly shows the desktop, but I expected it to prompt for a password.
[20:50] <CkhiKuzad> Does anyone know if it is possible to use (not install and run) ubuntu one when i am on windows? i'm planning to reinstall windows on a partition tomorrow, and i wanted to know if i could use it
[20:50] <lightme> does anybody know how to access to https webpages?
[20:50] <DanDare> ZykoticK9, seting up site on a VM until i replace debian for ubuntu server on main machine
[20:51] <loops> jgcp, perhaps look in system -> preferences -> preferred applications -> multimedia ?
[20:51] <Barnabas> lightme, firefox?
[20:51] <JoeSomeBuddy> purpzey, what you are saying sounds like loosining security?
[20:51] <lightme> yeah, but it says connection failed
[20:52] <greezmunkey> JoeSomeBuddy, it is a home network, right?
[20:52] <quentusrex_> Anyone know if you can install a printer on a headless 9.10 box?
[20:52] <purpzey> JoeSomebody: Yes, you would be allowing anyone to access the shared folder as opposed to users...but if it's a small home network then it would be OK, but unquestionably, yes, it is less secure.
[20:52] <Barnabas> lightme, is the server up?
[20:52] <Barnabas> is your internet connection ok?
[20:52] <quentusrex_> I'm trying to share an hp laserjet p1006 on a headless samba box.
[20:52] <lightme> that's right
[20:53] <Dunkirk> quentusrex_: Sure. Install cups, and then hit http://<server>:631/ and then set it all up.
[20:53] <Barnabas> lightme, the error is not in firefox that is 99,9 %
[20:53] <quentusrex_> thanks Dunkirk
[20:53] <Barnabas> ppl all around the world use ssl in firefox daily
[20:53] <JoeSomeBuddy> greezmunkey, yes
[20:53] <jgcp> loops, i have tried that
[20:53] <JoeSomeBuddy> mostly windows machines
[20:54] <JoeSomeBuddy> i hope to someday make them all linux
[20:54] <lightme> yeah,well i suppose that the port is blocked..but i dont know how to unblock it
[20:54] <greezmunkey> JoeSomeBuddy, typically in a home network you trade security for convenience
[20:54] <JoeSomeBuddy> greezmunkey,  sounds bad
[20:55] <greezmunkey> JoeSomeBuddy, But, it's your box - run it any way you want.
[20:55] <ZykoticK9> CkhiKuzad, i remember reading about a Windows client for U1 don't remember if it was just in development or something - certainly can't find it right now.  But you can always use the Web Interface from Windows.
[20:55] <Barnabas> lightme, try to telnet to the host on the ssl port
[20:55] <cnvl> Security is about trust. You trust the people living in your home, it shouldn't be a problem.
[20:55] <Barnabas> telnet <hosthame> 443
[20:55] <coldpizza72i> how do i find my current ubuntu version
[20:55] <Dunkirk> JoeSomebody: You just want to MOUNT windows shares on your Ubuntu box?
[20:55] <JoeSomeBuddy> i am disappointed i want better than win security , not worse
[20:55] <ZykoticK9> coldpizza72i, "lsb_release -a"
[20:55] <Barnabas> lightme, you should get a tcp connect
[20:55] <Dunkirk> JoeSomebody: Not SHARE them, right?
[20:55] <Barnabas> if not - there is a block
[20:56] <greezmunkey> JoeSomeBuddy, besides, it's not like your giving them exec privs, they can simply trade files.
[20:56] <JoeSomeBuddy> Dunkirk, yes but i dont want to be hacked by my ignorance
[20:56] <CkhiKuzad> ZykoticK9: i've tried using it, its just a blank screen, it seems like it needs the ubuntu one thing installed
[20:56] <ZykoticK9> CkhiKuzad, it shouldn't
[20:56] <Dunkirk> JoeSomebody: Then all this talk about setting samba to "share" security is wrong. That's for a server. YOu want to run as a client.
[20:57] <Dunkirk> JoeSomebody: What's not working in the link you posted?
[20:57] <JoeSomeBuddy> i want only one user allowed on all machines, and no "guests"
[20:57] <JoeSomeBuddy> greezmunkey, i want only one user allowed on all machines, and no "guests"
[20:58] <greezmunkey> Dunkirk, Joe is set up as a standalone server!
[20:58] <Dunkirk> greezmunkey: Sorry. I'm realizing that I'm coming into this in the middle.
[20:58] <greezmunkey> Dunkirk, No no that's fine
[20:59] <greezmunkey> Dunkirk, just that what he originally asked for was for ppl to connect to his Ubuntu box.
[20:59] <JoeSomeBuddy> greezmunkey, remember Joe is set up by an idiot (me) with an old guide
[20:59] <Devrethman> Are there any archiving programs that work like TAR (i.e. minimal compression) but don't require reading the entire file to list contents?
[20:59] <JoeSomeBuddy> greezmunkey, do i want standalone server? what is the diff?
[20:59] <Ubuntunewb> I'm having a really hard time with Wine and Steam. I'm running 9.10 and I had to re-install because of how unstable my system became after installing Wine...
[21:00] <Ubuntunewb> .. and steam I guess.
[21:00] <JoeSomeBuddy> i been guessing stuff all day LOL (that makes me nervous too)
[21:00] <Ubuntunewb> lots of app freezes.
[21:00] <Dunkirk> JoeSomebody: It may help to install "swat" to help you configure, but, yeah, if you want to get your Ubuntu files on your Windows computers, your smb.conf should be about 3 lines.
[21:00] <greezmunkey> JoeSomeBuddy, It's ok, can you access a shared folder on the Winbox from your Ubox?
[21:01] <Barnabas> Ubuntunewb, outside of Wine too?
[21:01] <Dunkirk> Ubuntunewb: Sorry, but that old dog don't hunt. Your steam may have been crashy, but it wasn't giving you any problems in Linux-land.
[21:01] <JoeSomeBuddy> greezmunkey, in network i can browse what i want
[21:01] <cnvl> free linux support: Your problems don't exist, you're just trying to slander our operating system.
[21:01] <Ubuntunewb> yeah, outside of wine as well
[21:01] <coldpizza72i> i cant seem to get flash working on my amd 64bit ubuntu karmic
[21:02] <gautham> Can someone link me to places with good AptOnCD ISOs for Ubuntu 9.10 ?
[21:02] <Ubuntunewb> coldpizza: I got the same system setup, download flash from the Ubuntu software center
[21:02] <greezmunkey> JoeSomeBuddy, so the issue is from Winbox to Ubox, correct?
[21:02] <Dunkirk> coldpizza72i: Get the newest version of 64-bit Flash from Adobe's site and put it in your local config's "plugins" directory.
[21:02] <JoeSomeBuddy> greezmunkey, but do i not need to do this ? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[21:03] <Dunkirk> JoeSomebody: That guide is about mounting WINDOWS files on your LINUX box. I thought you wanted to go the other way.
[21:03] <JoeSomeBuddy> Dunkirk, both ways
[21:03] <Dunkirk> Ubuntunewb: Ok, I'll bite. What problems?
[21:04] <JoeSomeBuddy> i have 8 drives to map
[21:04] <coldpizza72i> dunkirk whers the mozilla folder at
[21:04] <greezmunkey> JoeSomeBuddy, not really. If you can browse to the WinShare, then do that when you need access - don't worry about a permanent connection!
[21:04] <JoeSomeBuddy> ???  //servername/sharename  /media/mountname  cifs  guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0
[21:04] <Ubuntunewb> Wine and steam don't play well is all... but... come to think of it I can survive without TF2.
[21:04] <Dunkirk> coldpizza72i: ~/.mozilla/firefox/<stuff>.default/plugins/
[21:04] <JoeSomeBuddy> this is where i get lost,
[21:05] <JoeSomeBuddy> its for mom, my mom need super simple
[21:05] <lightme> LOL, thanks for your help, i've solved it, the only thing i did, was accept the certificate
[21:05] <JoeSomeBuddy> i am crazy to try this huh
[21:05] <greezmunkey> JoeSomeBuddy, WHat does your mom need to access on your Ubox?
[21:05] <JoeSomeBuddy> she dont know win either really
[21:06] <Dunkirk> JoeSomebody: I would try to just use one computer for all the files, and make only one set of computers mount the other. That way you only need to do this in one direction for the moment.
[21:06] <JoeSomeBuddy> she is going to be this box
[21:06] <coldpizza72i> dunkirk dont u mean usr/lib instead of ~/.
[21:06] <Dunkirk> JoeSomebody: You aren't crazy. I do this sort of thing all the time, but it _is_ tricky.
[21:06] <JoeSomeBuddy> she is tired of xp crashes and viruses
[21:06] <greezmunkey> JoeSomeBuddy, wow, I'd give her the winbox!
[21:06] <Dunkirk> coldpizza72i: You can put it system-wide if you want, but I try to avoid putting manual files in system locations.
[21:07] <JoeSomeBuddy> she has dual boot, likes the idea of linux a lot
[21:07] <Ubuntunewb> Once I finally got TF2 downloaded through steam on Wine, it would run, but it couldn't find any internet servers. when I tried making my own server, before start It would give a sound error and lock up. I'd have to xkill wine after that, and once I did the whole system became unstable even when wine wasen't running.
[21:07] <Dunkirk> coldpizza72i: Just personal preference. However, you will need to put the plugin in all your browser plugin directories because of this.
[21:07] <gautham> Can someone link me to places with good AptOnCD ISOs for Ubuntu 9.10 ?
[21:07] <greezmunkey> JoeSomeBuddy, Well, good luck - I have to log out.
[21:07] <JoeSomeBuddy> but its me worried about her security, and about her being a possible attack entry point
[21:08] <Guest34423> Holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
[21:09] <Guest34423> vhjv
[21:09] <JoeSomeBuddy> greezmunkey, thx
[21:09] <Dunkirk> JoeSomebody: You're not talking about sharing files between the Linux and Windows setups on the same box, are you?
[21:09] <greezmunkey> JoeSomeBuddy, if you are worried about that, set her XP up clean, then clone the drive, and let her run it into the ground. That way you can reload her PC quickly. Then sever any network connection between the two PC's.
[21:10] <JoeSomeBuddy> permanent connection is needed by all to all
[21:11] <john__> is this the right place for a newbie to come and ask a question?
[21:11] <JoeSomeBuddy> well really permanent connection is needed by most to most, but she needs outgoing to a win box at all times
[21:11] <coldpizza72i> dunkirk thanks,....i just pluged in my box to my 5.1 system via optical cable.......no sound is going through though...?
[21:11] <InsaneMonkey02> Hey I've got another question. I haven't had any luck getting btnx to install, so can someone help me get it installed or can someone recommend a different program to get the other buttons on my mouse to work? Thanks.
[21:11] <koshari> gautham cant you make your own?
[21:12] <ZykoticK9> john__, it sure is
[21:12] <Guest_2> toc toc
[21:12] <JoeSomeBuddy> files get backed up daily and other reasons
[21:12] <gautham> koshari: Don't use ubuntu on the machine with internet
[21:12] <Dunkirk> coldpizza72i: Yikes. That can get fun. YOu might want to look into alsaconf to turn on your optical output.
[21:13] <Dunkirk> coldpizza72i: Oops, alsamixer, I mean.
[21:13] <gautham> And I am pretty sure that there MUST be DVD or CD releases from the community where ppl post their compilations of software
[21:13] <john__> GREAT! i have an nvidia card and when i start some games my resolution gets set too high and screen says input not supported
[21:13] <JoeSomeBuddy> i know roughly how safe windows is or is not, how can i learn to tighten up ubuntu for her? best webpage even?
[21:13] <Dunkirk> JoeSomebody: Then I totally agree with greezmonkey, you'll just want "security=share" in your smb.conf on the Linux side. Anything else is going to be too hairy.
[21:14] <ZykoticK9> john__, may I ask what games?
[21:14] <Dunkirk> JoeSomebody: Unless you're allowing MS sharing ports through your firewall (445, et. al.), you won't be hacked.
[21:14] <InsaneMonkey02> Does anyone know a good mouse button configuration program?
[21:14] <JoeSomeBuddy> Dunkirk, will that allow "anyone" in?
[21:14] <JoeSomeBuddy> nm
[21:14] <JoeSomeBuddy> haha
[21:14] <john__> well ive only been using ubuntu for 3 days so i tried some of the games like galaga on the download section and it went black
[21:15] <Dunkirk> JoeSomebody: Anyone that can get to the service, which is only people on your local network. If you have wifi, you may want to rethink that.
[21:15] <ZykoticK9> john__, in Hardware Drivers does it show Nvidia as being activated?
[21:15] <adalal> anyone know how to restart or reload iptables configuration? or are they realtime?
[21:15] <john__> i should also note that i had the black screen at startup at first but i tinkered with it till that stopped...somehow
[21:15] <JoeSomeBuddy> do you recommend a firewall software? i use kaspersky full business on win
[21:16] <scoates> hi
[21:16] <JoeSomeBuddy> i mean shoudl ubuntu users use a firewall?
[21:16] <john__> ill check
[21:16] <JoeSomeBuddy> package ^
[21:16] <Dunkirk> JoeSomebody: What's your internet connection?
[21:16] <coldpizza72i> dunkirk, whats the command to run alsamixer
[21:16] <adalal> JoeSomeBuddy: you dont need to use a firewall, esp. if you're behind a nat
[21:17] <JoeSomeBuddy> got a nat, and fast cable  internet
[21:17] <Dunkirk> coldpizza72i: alsamixer. But you probably need to install it. It's a command line program, but it gives LOTS more options for your sound card than the usual gnome GUI tool.
[21:17] <guntbert> adalal: how do you manage the rules?
[21:17] <Dunkirk> JoeSomebody: Then don't worry about firewalls internally.
[21:17] <Dunkirk> JoeSomebody: I even shut off the Windows firewall on my Win machines. I've never even had a virus.
[21:18] <scoates> I seem to have a circular dependency with apt... )-:  http://paste.roguecoders.com/p/b6aab8f87297f47c6a306b394951e9c3.txt
[21:18] <scoates> any idea how I can beat it into submission?
[21:18] <JoeSomeBuddy> i guess i am just worried NOW that a linux expert can compromise the box easy on me, perhaps i am being paraniod
[21:18] <john__> ok checked my hardware drivers it lists nvidia accelerated graphics driver 185 as being in use but it also lists 2 older ones not being used
[21:19] <JoeSomeBuddy> my lack of knowledge of linux scares me :)
[21:19] <Helsinkiii> ever since I've installed Ubuntu, both 9.04 and 9.10 crash my home network from time to time. whenever i watch a youtube vid or something, firefox becomes ridiculously slow, stops responding, internet stops working, and then the internet on all the other computers stop as well
[21:19] <Dunkirk> scoates: Try "aptitude" instead of "apt-get". That's always my first pass.
[21:19] <ZykoticK9> john__, 185 "should" be fine
[21:19] <coldpizza72i> dunkirk, got it running, now what should i do
[21:19] <newclimb> anyone already installed ubuntu in a notebook toshiba satelite u505s2965wh
[21:19]  * scoates tries aptitude -f install
[21:19] <john__> maybe i just need a better monitor lol
[21:19] <Dunkirk> coldpizza72i: Well, spacebar will turn things on and off. Look for an "optical" something-or-other.
[21:20] <InsaneMonkey02> Ugh

[21:22] <Helsinkiii> does anyone have any ideas why Ubuntu causes my whole home network to crash whenever i view online videos or multimeddia rich sites?
[21:22] <guntbert> !wine | socratesthekid
[21:22] <InsaneMonkey02> I can't seem to install btnx correctly. I've tried both ways it says to try, binary package and compile from source. I used http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=455656 Can anyone help? Thanks.
[21:22] <iceroot> !wine | socratesthekid
[21:22] <Dunkirk> socratesthekid: But I've not had a lot of luck with it over the years.
[21:22] <InsaneMonkey02> !here
[21:22] <Dunkirk> socratesthekid: You may want to check out Virtualbox...
[21:23] <Dunkirk> Helsinkiii: Sounds like your Ubuntu box is the connection for the rest of the network?
[21:23] <sebsebseb> socratesthekid: not all Windows apps will work in Wine,  or you got to configure a lot of stuff before it works well.  anyway if you do a Windows virtual machine,  you can run real Windows inside another OS,  and that will run most Windows apps fine,  3D games may be a bit of an issue, but Virtualbox has a bit of support
[21:23] <Helsinkiii> Dunkirk: i'm just a node
[21:23] <jugglerbry> socatesthekid:virtualbox is a better solution IMO.  although having usb issues here, but installing apps no problem
[21:23] <olympus> socratesthekid: my experience with wine improved with the lates version
[21:23] <Helsinkiii> Dunkirk: i get the internet via wifi (wifi card)
[21:24] <Helsinkiii> Dunkirk: we have a cable modem, and a wireless router that is connected to an XP machine
[21:24] <socratesthekid> I actually need to reinstall windows onto a netbook, and i've had no luck making a liveusb, and I can't run the installer program at the moment
[21:24] <newclimb> anyone already installed ubuntu in a notebook toshiba satelite u505s2965wh?
[21:24] <olympus> jugglerbry: VirtualBox and me aren't getting along, especially with serial port issues.
[21:24] <sebsebseb> socratesthekid: well if you got enough RAM and such, you should be able to virtual machine it inside Ubuntu on there
[21:24] <Helsinkiii> Dunkirk: whenever i get this problem, all 3 computers and laptop 's internet stop working
[21:25] <jugglerbry> olympus:i havent tried serial connections, have no devices, just usb issues here.  have you added them in the settings before launching the guest os ?
[21:25] <Lcawte> Is it possible to get Ubuntu's screen res at 1024?
[21:25] <olympus> newclimb:  I've got 9.10 running on a Toshiba but not sure the model
[21:25] <Dunkirk> Helsinkiii: Well, can you use the central computer in the network to monitor traffic with WireShark?
[21:25] <sebsebseb> Lcawte: sure, but maybe you need to install a graphics card driver first
[21:25] <Lcawte> I cant get mine running at it
[21:25] <Lcawte> oh k
[21:25] <socratesthekid> sebsebseb, i really want to do it straight... i havent been able to get the wireless working on the machine at all. the machine was built for xp... want to put xp on it to find out if the card is fried
[21:25] <Lcawte> thanks
[21:25] <newclimb> olympus: can you see the model please?
[21:25] <Helsinkiii> Dunkirk: what will that tell me?
[21:25] <Lcawte> (/me runs to his other machine)
[21:25] <sebsebseb> Lcawte: system > administration > hardware drivers
[21:26] <john__> well thanks for the help guys
[21:26] <olympus> newclimb: give me a minute, gotta go downstairs to look
[21:26] <sebsebseb> socratesthekid: oh right wireless
[21:26] <newclimb> olympus: thanks a lot
[21:26] <abo-> how can I tell how much memory my system has from within Ubuntu?
[21:27] <Dunkirk> Helsinkiii: Well, I was expecting to see one of the computers start talking more and more ont he network, choking out the others.
[21:27] <guntbert> abo-: type free
[21:27] <socratesthekid> when i got the little guy, he had vista on him, i replaced that with ubuntu.... still wont read the wireless... figure go back to basics, put it back to where it came from with xp and see if it can find the card
[21:27] <Helsinkiii> Dunkirk: i know it's my pc
[21:27] <Helsinkiii> Dunkirk: it's always mine
[21:27] <sebsebseb> socratesthekid: yeah wireless is a common,  it doesn't just work issue for Ubuntu. Can probably get it working natively after some configuring or  the Windows driver in Ndiswrapper.  Sometimes they don't just work in Ubuntu, but do in other distros.
[21:27] <olympus> newclimb: L505D-S5965
[21:27] <Dunkirk> Helsinkiii: Yeah, but why? What traffic is it causing that's choking the network? That's what wireshark should show you.
[21:27] <sebsebseb> !wireless | socratesthekid
[21:28] <Helsinkiii> Dunkirk: can i control how much my wireless card transmits at a time?
[21:28] <newclimb> olympus: oh
[21:28] <coldpizza72i> dunkirk, no success..
[21:28] <olympus> newclimb: what issues are you having with it?
[21:28] <Dunkirk> Helsinkiii: Yeah, you should. But that's going to involve something like iwconfig commands.
[21:28] <socratesthekid> i've spent a lot of hours and talked to many people in here trying to get it to recognize my card... did the madwifi thing to no avail... no one else seems to be having problems with ubuntu and that machine
[21:28] <Dunkirk> coldpizza72i: Sorry. I don't know what else to tell you from here.
[21:28] <socratesthekid> so i just want to figure out if it's fried
[21:28] <Dunkirk> socratesthekid: What's the chipset / card?
[21:29] <guntbert> Helsinkiii: wireshark is a network monitor - not for managing bandwidth or so
[21:29] <Lcawte> sebsebseb: I get some error when I try install the driver it comes up with
[21:29] <socratesthekid> dunkirk, havent been able to fully narrow it down... atheros super ag is the best i've found
[21:29] <sebsebseb> Lcawte: which driver? and what did it say?
[21:29] <socratesthekid> i think i read something about 5006 somewhere, but i'm not sure of that
[21:29] <Lcawte> hang on, I'm running between machines
[21:30] <olabaz> ok so I finally installed linux!
[21:30] <socratesthekid> its a fujitsu lifebook p1510d
[21:30] <sebsebseb> olabaz: Congratulations!
[21:30] <Dunkirk> socratesthekid: What does `sudo lshw' tell you ?
[21:30] <sebsebseb> olabaz: :)
[21:30] <Lcawte> SystemError: Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
[21:30] <olabaz> sebsebseb: Thanks. Now what? lol
[21:30] <meowbuntu> hi is there an official dbian live cd out there
[21:30] <socratesthekid> Dunkirk.. nothing
[21:30] <iceroot> meowbuntu: #debian
[21:30] <Lcawte> NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 96)
[21:30] <socratesthekid> doesn't even read the card as existing
[21:30] <meowbuntu> iceroot, thanks
[21:30] <sebsebseb> olabaz: security updates, and  drivers if stuf is avilable system > administration > hardware drivers
[21:31] <newclimb> olympus: pvt please
[21:31] <Lcawte> sebsebseb: ^
[21:31] <guntbert> !pm | newclimb
[21:32] <sebsebseb> Lcawte: right, but you didn't provide any details
[21:32] <newclimb> guntbert: sorry im a brasilian and my english isnt good enough but i can try
[21:32] <sebsebseb> !br | newclimb
[21:32] <Lcawte> sebsebseb: thats all I get in the error
[21:32] <Dunkirk> socratesthekid: "lshw" should tell you the exact chipset, buried in there somewhere. "dmesg" should also give you some help. You MUST know your exact chipset to have any hope of getting it running.
[21:33] <sebsebseb> Lcawte: ok
[21:33] <newclimb> sorry i tried too
[21:33] <sebsebseb> Lcawte: so you pressed enable and what happended?
[21:33] <newclimb> but a two days ago i tried installed ubuntu in a notebook u505s2005 and the notebook simple stop runing
[21:33] <socratesthekid> Dunkirk.... it doesnt read that the card exists... it doesnt think it's there
[21:33] <newclimb>  i dont know why but nothing works anymore and i need to change a note in a store
[21:33] <newclimb> i dont know if it happened because of the ubuntu or what
[21:34] <olympus> newclimb: does it turn on?
[21:34] <newclimb> keep just in the bios
[21:34] <Lcawte> sebsebseb: activate then it asked for a password, which I entered then it flashed the install bar thing for a second then pulled the error
[21:34] <socratesthekid> ifyou're going to be here for a bit, i can get that one online to post the lshw and the dmesg if you'dlike
[21:35] <sebsebseb> Lcawte: Are there other graphic card driver options?
[21:35] <olympus> newclimb: did you install from a live cd?
[21:35] <Lcawte> sebsebseb: not that I can see
[21:35] <newclimb> yes
[21:35] <Advo> if i make a folder, by doing say mkdir /home/echo $(date '+full-%Y%m%d.%H%M%S').$(($(date +%N)/1000000)) how can i move to that same directory? because if i ran the echo again, it would be different
[21:35] <olympus> newclimb: have you tried using the live cd again to boot the machine?
[21:36] <gerry_> Awesome, this runs Ubuntu 9.04: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reviews/6987/1/
[21:36] <Lcawte> sebsebseb: Shall I search on package manager?
[21:36] <Myrtti> Advo: make the date first a variable and then call that variable
[21:36] <newclimb> olympus: so after the problem the computer didnt boot anymore
[21:36] <sebsebseb> Lcawte: ok well,  it's only really needed for the Compiz 3D effects,  some other resolutions possibily,  and 3D  OpenGL  Desktop Linux games.
[21:36] <olympus> newclimb: did you put the cd back in and try that?
[21:36] <newclimb> olympus: nothing works cd or usb
[21:37] <Advo> Myrtti hmm, how? didnt know you could
[21:37] <Lcawte> sebsebseb: what about 1024 screen res
[21:37] <sebsebseb> Lcawte: no that's how you install it or should be able to
[21:37] <newclimb> olympus: yes didnt worked anymore
[21:37] <sk33to> hi guys... i need some advice from u :P whats the best mp3 player for ubuntu?
[21:37] <sebsebseb> Lcawte: uhmm  I don't know what  resolutions you got.   system > preferences > screen resolution   or something like that, I am on another distro right now :)
[21:37] <ZykoticK9> !best > sk33to
[21:38] <Jax> Okay, I've tried everything I could Google, and I still can't get this to work.  I'm installing a Lexmark z600 driver, and it says during testing to see if it'll backend "libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file:  No such file or directory."  I'm running Karmic, and I've looked in Synaptic to find libstdc++.so.5.  Couldn't get it.  Where should I go from here?
[21:38] <olympus> newclimb: I'm afraid that I'm out of ideas.  Perhaps others will have some. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
[21:38] <Lcawte> sebsebseb: nothing on there other than display which doesnt like me
[21:38] <newclimb> olympus: all right thanks
[21:38] <sebsebseb> Lcawte: meaning what exactly?  also I think if you press cancel on that,  whatever comes up,  you will get the thing I want you to get
[21:38] <olympus> newclimb: you might want to remove the battery, then reinstall the battery and try again. Just a thought
[21:39] <gerry_> Well I guess I'm the only one who thinks that's the coolest thing ever
[21:40] <olympus> newclimb: another thought--my toshiba gives me the chance to select a boot device when it starts up, does yours?
[21:40] <newclimb> olympus: not
[21:40] <newclimb> olympus: i get to select but nothing boot
[21:41] <olympus> newclimb: ok, well that's about it for me.
[21:43] <guntbert> newclimb: no operating system will damage your hardware - if your system cannot boot - even with resetting everything to "system default" in BIOS - bring it back to the shop
[21:44] <kareeser> guntbert: although StarForce will, and can damage your hardware ;)
[21:44] <newclimb> guntbert: i did and i changed
[21:44] <jonzbcc> hello, can someone explain where I can read about "default-preference-list" parameter for gpg? -- I'm reading:
[21:44] <jonzbcc> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto#Using%20GnuPG%20to%20generate%20a%20key
[21:45] <guntbert> kareeser: ?? but its probably off topic :)
[21:45] <newclimb> guntbert: but know im with another one and i m afraid to install ubuntu, can be ubuntu damage my sistem or not?
[21:45] <kareeser> guntbert: oh, definitely.
[21:45] <jonzbcc> does anyone use gpg keys, here?
[21:46] <coldpizza72i> dunkirk, the spdif option on the alsamixer is just a box with 00.....i cant change the value
[21:46] <kareeser> jonzbcc: did you try "man"?
[21:46] <guntbert> newclimb: I never had any reports about ubuntu damaging a system - I don't believe it is possible - do not install immediately but "try without changing"
[21:46] <jonzbcc> kareeser: yes, it just says.. hold on, i'll paste it for you (not usefull though)

[21:47] <newclimb> guntbert: ok thanks
[21:47] <kareeser> newclimb: welcome to ubuntu :)
[21:47] <owen1> when i try to delete/move a file from my SD card, the file manager closes and I see lock sign on the folder. ls -l shows rwx though. any clue?

[21:48] <TheMozart> hello
[21:48] <kareeser> howdy
[21:49] <socratesthekid> so the wine folks are saying that wine can't run the windows installer...
[21:49] <socratesthekid> any suggestions as to my next move?
[21:49] <kareeser> socratesthekid: the windows installer for what program?
[21:50] <ovnandan> Hey I am xfact, now after reinstalling Ubuntu I changed my Nickname
[21:50] <Slart> !ru | Xaku
[21:50] <alphacharlie_> i installed libiconv-1.13.1.now i'm trying to nstall glib & it's saying -> GNU libiconv not in use but included iconv.h is from libiconv.    does anyone know how to remove it or how to enable it?
[21:51] <Xaku> ðóñêî ÿçû÷íûå åñòü êòî òóò there is who to.kto understands russian? "sorii this twisted translation"
[21:51] <Slart> Xaku: type   /join #ubuntu-ru   for help in russian
[21:52] <socratesthekid> kareeser, i need to take ubuntu off of a fujitsu lifebook to test some things on it, but I can't get the installer to run
[21:52] <guntbert> Slart: how did you guess that was russian? here it appeared as something completely different
[21:52] <Xaku> thank you <Slart>
[21:53] <Slart> guntbert: the power of /whois =)
[21:53] <kareeser> socratesthekid: if you want to re-format the hard drive and install windows, you don't do that inside ubutu
[21:53] <kareeser> socratesthekid: just stick the CD in the drive and reboot
[21:53] <coldpizza72i> does anyone know why in my alsamixer the column labled spdif is a small square at 003......why cant i change the volume
[21:53] <jackbrown> is anybody available ?
[21:53] <coldpizza72i> 00*
[21:53] <jackbrown> Anybody available there?
[21:53] <kareeser> jackbrown: maybe. what's up?
[21:53] <guntbert> Slart: :)
[21:53] <StaryPiernik> zsdtvgbyhukiopl[opo[;/
[21:54] <Slart> coldpizza72i: it might just be a setting to use the spdif output or not.. and volume controlled by the regular volume control
[21:54] <jackbrown> kareeeser i have a problem with my webcam driver, it works but when i suspend the system stop working
[21:54] <jackbrown> kareeser: do you have any suggestion for me ^?
[21:54] <socratesthekid> kareeser, it's a netbook, so no cd drive... and my attempts to make it boot from a thumb drive have failed
[21:54] <jason> wow, ubuntu kicks ass these days
[21:54] <kareeser> jackbrown: with webcams? Unfortunately not... I have no experience in that :(
[21:54] <coldpizza72i> Slart can you help me get my opptical audio out working
[21:54] <jason> last time I used it was 6.10 and it sucked horribly
[21:54] <kareeser> jackbrown: maybe someone else
[21:55] <kareeser> jason: lol yup
[21:55] <SAMBO1985> hellou
[21:55] <meowbuntu> jason, have you looked at mint that rocks to
[21:55] <alphacharlie_> does anybody know how to uninstall a library package?
[21:55] <jackbrown> kareeser: tnx anyway it's a usb Peripehal
[21:55] <jason> meowbuntu: nope, I will try it at some point though
[21:55] <meowbuntu> ubuntu is great os too
[21:55] <Slart> coldpizza72i: probably not.. I'm not very good with audio.. but ask the channel.. and check the forums.. there has to be someone out there that knows about these things
[21:55] <jason> meowbuntu: I mostly use it for research so if I find something that works, I settle on it
[21:55] <kareeser> jackbrown: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Webcam
[21:56] <Slart> alphacharlie_: apt-get remove <somepackage>   should work
[21:56] <Slart> alphacharlie_: or apt-get purge <somepackage>   if you want to delete configuration files also
[21:56] <meowbuntu> jason, mint has all the extras that dont come packaged with ubuntu.
[21:56] <Aedrich> Is there a way to alias a command? like if I want to make "acs" do "apt-cache search"
[21:56] <jackbrown> ok
[21:56] <alphacharlie_> i installed libiconv-1.13.1.now i'm trying to nstall glib & it's saying -> GNU libiconv not in use but included iconv.h is from libiconv.    i tried that.but still gving this error.
[21:56] <kareeser> Aedrich: google .bash_aliases
[21:56] <meowbuntu> ok enjoy ubuntu or whatever then jason
[21:56] <Slart> Aedrich: I think there is an "alias" command for bash
[21:57] <Aedrich> thanks
[21:57] <kareeser> Aedrich: np
[21:57] <olabaz> what is the best linux replacement for iTunes?
[21:57] <melodie_> what is iTunes ?
[21:57] <jason> meowbuntu: what extras?
[21:57] <melodie_> olabaz, ?
[21:57] <woofbuntu> olabaz: you mean for connecting to an ipod device?
[21:57] <melodie_> what is iTunes ?
[21:57] <Slart> olabaz: I don't think there is one solution that does everything.. there are some apps that can talk to ipods.. there are other apps that have an online store built in
[21:58] <tenpenny> iTunes nothing appropriate
[21:58] <melodie_> tenpenny, sure ?
[21:58] <woofbuntu> yeah... basically, you're out of luck if you want to interface with the iTunes store.
[21:58] <jason> meowtuntu: I haven't found anything lacking that wasn't immediately available through the repositories
[21:58] <Slart> olabaz: I think you'll actually be better of running itunes in a vm or using wine if you need all the functionality
[21:58] <jason> why use iTunes when there's the Amazon store?
[21:58] <olabaz> No I don't care about iTunes store I just want something that can interact with iPod.
[21:58] <woofbuntu> olabaz: try rhythmbox or banshee
[21:58] <woofbuntu> olabaz: they both can talk to ipods, I believe
[21:58] <jason> can't almost everything interface with iPod these days?
[21:59] <melodie_> woofbuntu, olabaz I may have seen some program wait a sec
[21:59] <Slart> !ipod | olabaz
[21:59] <jason> Amarok does it too, right?
[21:59] <tenpenny> Rhythym box is cool
[21:59] <woofbuntu> amaroK too, I believe, yes
[21:59] <olabaz> thanks a lot.
[21:59] <woofbuntu> funny how I know this... I don't even own an apple device.
[22:00] <tenpenny> an apple a day keeps apple devices away
[22:00] <melodie_> woofbuntu, olabaz http://www.atunes.org/
[22:00] <woofbuntu> apparently, there used to be a competitor to the macintosh.. called the banana
[22:00] <melodie_> woofbuntu, olabaz :D
[22:00] <melodie_> so ?
[22:00] <melodie_> woofbuntu,
[22:00] <melodie_> woofbuntu, olabaz http://www.atunes.org/
[22:00] <FloodBot2> melodie_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:00] <melodie_> FloodBot1, get yourself a break...
[22:01] <woofbuntu> aTunes.. interesting. does it interface with ipods and the store, though...
[22:01] <olabaz> hmm
[22:01] <Aedrich> if the bot wasn't here to blindly macro at people, the ops might have to *work* :c
[22:01] <melodie_> Aedrich, I was joking
[22:01] <Aedrich> :p
[22:02] <melodie_> olabaz, what do you think about atunes so ?
[22:02] <olabaz> melodie_ downloading it right now :)
[22:02] <melodie_> Aedrich, on the french archlinux-fr chan there are 2 bots
[22:02] <melodie_> and we have fun making them talk together
[22:02] <woofbuntu> "Currently aTunes can only READ iPod contents until 4th generation. It has not been tested with later versions. It can't  write songs to iPod. However, aTunes can write to many generic mp3 players acting as external hard drive (i.e. mass storage devices). "
[22:02] <melodie_> sometimes we don't even have to do anything, they just start
[22:03] <socratesthekid> melodie_ that's how skynet got started
[22:03] <woofbuntu> melodie_: my favourite: http://bash.org/?178890
[22:03] <raidghost> For Acer Aspire one, is linux mint 8 a good choice?

[22:06] <tenpenny> jackbrown: not sure but you should check power saving policy.

[22:09] <tenpenny> jackbrown: yeah, but haven't used cam. perhaps you should look for config file related to cam settings
[22:09] <digdeep> meowbuntu, no
[22:09] <meowbuntu> digdeep, then reformat easy simple solution. gparted will help you there
[22:09] <talkhouli> hello guys, I got Ubuntu 8.10. While trying to compile some code i got the following error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/380602/ Is there anyway around it without the need to upgrade ubuntu?
[22:10] <supercom32> So, anyone know how to get mouse speed settings applied to my USB mouse and not just the touch pad?
[22:10] <melodie_> socratesthekid, lol !
[22:10] <jackbrown> tenpenny: which should be the file ?
[22:10] <meowbuntu> digdeep, gparted can format to most if not all formats
[22:11] <digdeep> meowbuntu: not sure what I need to do, any links?
[22:12] <tenpenny> jackbrown: m not sure.

[22:12] <Aggrav8d> anyone know why?

[22:12] <digdeep> The problem, if I plug the usb in, it didn't show up.

[22:13] <ineptmofo> hi
[22:13] <tenpenny> aah mine x server just died
[22:13] <socratesthekid> so since i apparently can't do what I was planning on trying, can anyone help me with making a boot-usb? because i've apparently done something very wrong
[22:13] <melodie_> the chan here is too fast
[22:14] <ineptmofo> ive just put netbook remix on and downloaded songbird for my music player but i dont know how to create a shortcut icon for it
[22:14] <melodie_> ineptmofo,
[22:14] <ineptmofo> yes?
[22:14] <melodie_> look at the destkop files and do the same
[22:14] <ineptmofo> i cant there is no desktop
[22:14] <melodie_> they are located in /usr/share/applications
[22:14] <meowbuntu> digdeep, try http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
[22:15] <melodie_> ineptmofo, then where do you want to put shortcuts ?
[22:15] <supercom32> So, anyone know how to get mouse speed settings applied to my USB mouse and not just the touch pad?
[22:15] <meowbuntu> jason, you around
[22:15] <ZykoticK9> ineptmofo, run "alacarte" from terminal or alt+f2
[22:15] <ineptmofo> ah ok i see
[22:15] <melodie_> ineptmofo, you want to put an icon : that's the work for desktop files
[22:15] <meowbuntu> !ssa
[22:15] <ineptmofo> ive found all the icons in that location
[22:16] <melodie_> yourprogram.desktop will be a file that you put at /home/you/Desktop
[22:16] <tom_fishy> Hi, If I got a ntfs partion with windows 7. Where the OS is already installed and I don't want to format and reinstall windows BUT I want to take 50gb from that ntfs partion and create a linux partion so that I can install Ubuntu. Is that possible or will I loose my windows ntfs partion and be forced to reinstall windows, because I want both operating systems.
[22:16] <bikcmp> Hello all, I'm trying to use a remote vnc session
[22:16] <melodie_> in this file there is a line about icon name ineptmofo
[22:16] <bikcmp> but the keyboard layout gets all messed up.
[22:16] <bikcmp> it's a ubuntu to ubuntu vnc connection too.
[22:16] <JoeSomeBuddy> hi, so if i do permanent mounts (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently) if i set permissions right~/.smbcredentials (password file) is safe , cannot be viewed or copied unless someone is in as me in which i am toast anyway right?
[22:16] <melodie_> such as icon=your-program.png
[22:16] <bikcmp> any ideas?
[22:16] <Slart> tom_fishy: that's a pretty common situation.. I think you can even do that from the installer
[22:16] <melodie_> among other things
[22:16] <ineptmofo> i was hoping to put the icon in the Sound and Video section
[22:17] <ineptmofo> so it shows up under that on the menu
[22:17] <blablabla> hmm gibts ne alternative zu Brasero?
[22:17] <ZykoticK9> ineptmofo, again - use alacarte MUCH easier
[22:17] <Slart> tom_fishy: just make backups of your windows stuff.. messing with partitions is always somewhat risky.
[22:17] <tom_fishy> Slart Ok. So with an application such as Gparted I should be fine?
[22:17] <ineptmofo> ok ill try giving that ago
[22:17] <Slart> tom_fishy: yes
[22:17] <tenpenny> jackbrown: you should search for power saving policy / configuration. which turns off usb devices after sometime of inactivity.
[22:18] <tenpenny> jackbrown: but i am really not sure whether it's being implemented in ubuntu
[22:18] <Slart> !burn | blablabla
[22:18] <tom_fishy> Slart : Thanks alot for the help. I had Ubuntu installed before and I kinda miss it.
[22:18] <Slart> tom_fishy: you're welcome
[22:19] <bikcmp> Hello all, I'm trying to use a remote vnc session but the keyboard gets messed up.
[22:20] <Slart> bikcmp: how do you mean "messed up"?

[22:23] <bikcmp> well
[22:23] <Slart> bikcmp: what's on the remote side? windows? linux?
[22:23] <realcoolguy_> sorry... tryign to type /join...
[22:23] <bikcmp> realcoolguy_: Please don't advertise chans here.
[22:23] <bikcmp> realcoolguy_: Ah okay.
[22:23] <Slart> bikcmp: looked like a type to me
[22:23] <bikcmp> Slart: ubuntu on both sides.
[22:23] <Slart> typo even.. (ironically=)
[22:23] <Slart> bikcmp: try running something like xev on the remote computer and see what keycodes come through
[22:24] <bikcmp> Slart: The normal PC works fine.
[22:24] <bikcmp> Slart: Just VNC doesn't work
[22:24] <bikcmp> and it gets messed up with vnc.
[22:25] <dracflamloc> Anyone know if a "Dell 1520 wireless LAN card" works with ubuntu?
[22:25] <Slart> !hardware | dracflamloc
[22:25] <Slart> dracflamloc: you can try searching the ubuntu forums as well.. searching for the lspci usb id of the device is usually easiest
[22:26] <dracflamloc> welli dont own one
[22:26] <dracflamloc> yet
[22:26] <bikcmp> Slart: Any ideas?
[22:26] <dracflamloc> im thinking of buying a comp that does
[22:27] <ineptmofo> if not drac just use ndiswrapper
[22:27] <Slart> bikcmp: yes.. running xev on the remote computer to see what keycodes it sees.. I don't know if there might be any vnc settings affecting keys..
[22:27] <socratesthekid> so I'm having a problem with the "startup disk maker" thing in ubuntu
[22:27] <Losha> dracflamloc: google is actually a good place to check out dell models & ubuntu
[22:28] <dracflamloc> yea im trying
[22:28] <dracflamloc> problem is
[22:28] <dracflamloc> dell makes a laptop called the 1520
[22:28] <Slart> dracflamloc: ah.. well..  I usually try to find a computer with the device in question at a local brick and mortar shop and ask if I can try it with a live cd
[22:28] <dracflamloc> so all my results are for that, not the wireless card
[22:28] <balas> does the last generation ipod work in ubuntu ok without having to include extra steps ?
[22:29] <Slart> balas: I'm not sure it works even if you include extra steps and special voodoo =/
[22:29] <dracflamloc> last time i tried ndiswrapper it was a PITA to setup, has it gotten better over the past 2 years?
[22:29] <balas> thank you Slart :)
[22:29] <Slart> balas: you're welcome
[22:29] <Losha> dracflamloc: try googling the dell model number instead of just the wireless card...
[22:29] <ineptmofo> its very easy
[22:29] <norbi905> Hello, I deleted something off of a USB drive.  Now when I try to paste it says not enough space, even though nothing shows on the USB drive.  The drive itself is big enough to hold the file.  Any help is appreciated.  This is on Ubuntu 9.10
[22:29] <dracflamloc> problem is this computer model # comes with 5 different wlan cards. the variant im getting is the only one with this wlan, the rest use intel
[22:30] <jackbrown> hi there
[22:30] <jackbrown> is anybody available to help me?
[22:31] <Slart> jackbrown: just ask your question
[22:31] <tonytraductor> HELP!  I have an everex cloudbook with hardy on it, just did aptitude update/safe-upgrade/full-upgrade a couple of days ago, now, when rebooted, it goes to initramfs prompt, and I'm a bit lost.  any assistance will be deeply appreciated
[22:31] <Losha> dracflamloc: then I agree with Slart, you need the actual chipset....
[22:31] <jackbrown> Start: my webcam shut down  after suspendinf the system. if i reboot it works again
[22:31] <ergo> hi, anybody willing to help me set up rtorrent + wtorrent? I've been trying myself with the help of various websites/forum posts for almost 7 hours -- without any luck :(
[22:31] <jackbrown> Start: do u have any idea?
[22:31] <dracflamloc> hm
[22:32] <norbi905> I have figured it out.  Used gparted to format the USB drive.  Although it kept failing at formatting.  For some stupid reason it need a name to format the drive to :( .
[22:32] <Slart> jackbrown: well.. it's not uncommon that some thing don't like suspending/hibernation.. I don't know a good fix for it though.. usually they come up with an improved driver or some other work around sooner or later
[22:32] <tonytraductor> I read something about passing certain kernel parameters to grub, but don't know how to access file and edit them from this initramfs prompt, since it appears to not be a full bash
[22:33] <jackbrown> Start: so there is nothing to do for you ?
[22:33] <allowoverride> nevermind i will fig it out. l8
[22:33] <Slart> jackbrown: I would suggest waiting two months for 10.04 ... see if it's fixed there
[22:33] <ccunha> ubuntu-br
[22:33] <ineptmofo> ive just used alacarte to create a shortcut but i did it wrong and now it doesnt show up in the items so i cant remove it
[22:34] <Slart> jackbrown: of course you can try searching the forums.. sometimes there's work-arounds or tricks you can try
[22:34] <HonkingRedPanda> hm, is it possible to get something like GParted back after you install ubuntu?
[22:34] <HonkingRedPanda> I think I left a extra partition or 2 I dont need
[22:34] <jackbrown> Start: thanks it's making me crazy
[22:34] <jackbrown> Slart: do you know any apps as Teamviewier on UBUNTU ?
[22:34] <socratesthekid> so my usb drive appears to have a built in "cd" built onto it, and when I try to use ubuntu's "usb Startup Disk Creator" even when I click on the iso I want, the cd seems to be the only thing that'll come up.
[22:34] <Slart> jackbrown: what does teamviewer do?
[22:35] <jackbrown> it's a legit RAT
[22:35] <socratesthekid> looking at the startup disk creator help.... does it only work on making ubuntu startup disks?
[22:35] <norbi905> HonkingRedPanda:  try sudo apt-get install gparted
[22:35] <jackbrown> Remote Administration Tool
[22:35] <JoeSomeBuddy> how do i delete a folder that i created as root?
[22:35] <HonkingRedPanda> norbi905: Would it be on the package manager?
[22:35] <Slart> JoeSomeBuddy: sudo rmdir in a terminal
[22:35] <ccunha> canal em portuguesw
[22:35] <tonytraductor> help, netbook with hardy booting to busybox initramfs prompt...
[22:35] <norbi905> HonkingRedPanda:  It should be.
[22:35] <Slart> jackbrown: hmm... I'm sure there are some tools like that.. but I've never used any
[22:35] <Slart> !pt | ccunha
[22:36] <tonytraductor> qual é a canal em pt?
[22:36] <JoeSomeBuddy> Slart, thx
[22:36] <HonkingRedPanda> what do the ones with the ubuntu logo mean, that they are made by ubuntu developers?

[22:36] <phox_> Hi! I just ran my live-cd with 9.1 at my old laptop, and when i use the "live function", or whatever its called, i get a login screen. I leave the fields empty, and then get an error saying "authentication failed". Wtf?
[22:36] <norbi905> HonkingRedPanda:  Ubuntu provides updates for those applications when they are available.
[22:36] <HonkingRedPanda> ah k
[22:37] <L00pB4ck> very simple question: how do i start a guest session without having "user switcher" added to my taskbar?
[22:37] <Slart> phox_: I don't think you're supposed to see the login screen with the live cd.. you've downloaded it recently?
[22:38] <Slart> L00pB4ck: try looking at the "gnome-session" command.. (don't just run it.. it will do bad things.. man gnome-session is a good start)
[22:38] <phox_> Slart: yeah, and ive used it to install on other computers so i know it works.
[22:38] <DubDaveLin> Hi can anyone recommend a good channel for ubuntu help? I've a notification area problem.
[22:38] <L00pB4ck> Slart, thx
[22:38] <Slart> phox_: hm.. not really sure what username it's supposed to use.. or what password to try.. sorry
[22:39] <Slart> L00pB4ck: you're welcome
[22:40] <phox_> Slart: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1324339.html , theres another guy with a similar problem but noone knows the answer lol
[22:41] <Slart> phox_: I don't think it's a very common problem.. not really sure what kind of bug could do that..
[22:41] <phox_> Slart: okey :P
[22:42] <petrichor> I'm getting high upspeeds from a location I'm unaware of.. my torrent program is maxed way under it. Any ideas?
[22:42] <Slart> petrichor: what is the remote ip?
[22:43] <petrichor> sorry, do you mean my IP?
[22:43] <petrichor> not sure what "remote" ip is
[22:43] <Slart> petrichor: no.. the other end of the network connection
[22:43] <the_real_dave> Anyone know how to show load averages in the terminal, in one line? Similar to the "date" command, but for load ;)
[22:43] <acovrig> how do I configure fetchmail to download emails from gmail to a txt file?
[22:43] <Slart> petrichor: or you mean your torrent program is uploading to someone to fast?
[22:44] <petrichor> no its max is set below
[22:44] <Artanis00> I'm reinstalling a system with full home directory encryption (chosen from install.) If I use the same username/pass combination will it detect and use the encrypted folders? Do I need to tell it to encrypt the home folder for the user, or leave it at "require password to login"?
[22:44] <petrichor> like at 5 kbps
[22:44] <petrichor> yet im getting 60 Kbs
[22:44] <OerHeks> phox_,  the name/pass for live cd user = ubuntu + pass= empty
[22:45] <Slart> petrichor: sure you've set upload max to 5 kpbs? not download max? are you sure it's 5kbit per second? or 5 kilobyte per second?
[22:46] <petrichor> hmm
[22:46] <petrichor> i just closed my torrent programs, still getting around 40 Kb/sec

[22:51] <Slart> InsaneMonkey02: check a couple of lines above those lines
[22:51] <the_real_dave> SJr|nx: Apt-Cacher-NG, by far. Much faster and less memory intensive than apt-cacher, and just easier than Squid.
[22:51] <Slart> InsaneMonkey02: those are the errors you get "on the way out" or so to say.. there's usually a "real" error before that
[22:52] <InsaneMonkey02> Before that there are a bunch of lines that say uinput.c: In function ‘uinput_init’:

[22:56] <olabaz> thanks acovrig
[22:56] <InsaneMonkey02> So what's wrong?

[22:56] <hiexpo> hello all
[22:57] <InsaneMonkey02> The uinput errors of the ones below them?
[22:57] <the_real_dave> !hi | hiexpo
[22:57] <Slart> InsaneMonkey02: the uinput one
[22:58] <InsaneMonkey02> Ok.
[22:58] <Yarcanox> can someone give me a hint what I'm doing when /etc/init.d/solid-pop3d gives no output, no running solid-pop3d, starting directly as root works fine and syslog is empty?
[22:58] <hiexpo> ? what is the diff say forinstance i use last fm  and there is a pylast the runs in python ?
[22:59] <source1> hello
[22:59] <hiexpo> hell real_dove

[23:01] <Slart> source1: feisty is dead since october, 2008
[23:01] <Slart> InsaneMonkey02: yup.. I read that thread too..
[23:01] <olabaz> I don't understand how to check if ALSA is selected
[23:01] <magotony> salve
[23:02] <Slart> source1: or at least.. it's repos has moved and it's no longer getting any updates
[23:02] <source1> Slart: nothing to do then?
[23:02] <pokui> hiexpo: python is an interpreted language (like perl or ruby or php even) rather than a complied one (like C or C++) so that statement means just use python to interprete the program
[23:02] <pokui> hiexpo: usually like python /path/to/file.pl
[23:02] <pokui> err s/pl/py/
[23:02] <Slart> source1: I would advice you to update to something a bit newer..
[23:02] <InsaneMonkey02> Slart: Since I can't get btnx to work, do you know any other program to get my Logitech MX Revolution mouse to work correctly?
[23:02] <histo> !info xchat fiesty
[23:03] <source1> Slart: ok thanks
[23:03] <Slart> source1: I think the repos are still available.. they might have changed url to old-releases.ubuntu.com or something like that though.. and you'll only get older versions of everything
[23:03] <Slart> source1: you're welcome
[23:03] <hiexpo> pokui, gotcha that's what i thought but had to refresh my mem
[23:03] <hiexpo> thanx
[23:03] <olabaz> I don't understand how to check if ALSA is selected
[23:03] <Slart> InsaneMonkey02: nope.. I gave mine to my wife.. it scored me some points.. but I had to buy a new mouse =)
[23:03] <mneptok> source1: fiesty > gutsy > hardy. you're 2 steps from an LTS release. you should do it.
[23:04] <histo> olabaz: check if its selected where?
[23:04] <olabaz> !sound|olabaz
[23:04] <sativa> how do I say something to a specific person?
[23:04] <acovrig> !botsnack|acovrig
[23:04] <hiexpo> ok next question everytime i log out or reboot my lan is on a differant port ?
[23:05] <olabaz> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).
[23:05] <Slart> sativa: either just put their name first on the line.. like in this message.. or just  /msg nickname here is the super secret message bla bla bla
[23:05] <histo> olabaz: and when you do that what is selected?
[23:06] <Yarcanox> how can I prompt a new installation of postfix that keeps my config files but writes all the other stuff newly so it fixes up messed up file access rights?
[23:06] <Slart> sativa: the first version goes to the channel.. everyone can see it.. the second one can only be seen by the recipient
[23:06] <Slart> Yarcanox: try  sudo apt-get install --reinstall postfix-package-name-here
[23:06] <olabaz> I don't know how to do that
[23:06] <Slart> Yarcanox: I'm not sure what the postfix package name is
[23:06] <olabaz> I double click the volume control and a slider comes up
[23:07] <sativa> why is source code sometimes in multiple colors?
[23:07] <aKPowered> # Appears as ARMANDO.
[23:07] <InsaneMonkey02> Slart: Ok, I tried the other method provided, and I still got errors. http://paste.ubuntu.com/380627/
[23:07] <aKPowered> yo
[23:07] <histo> olabaz: right click on volume control
[23:07] <sixzerofour|jps> whats a good program for modifying pdf files? and copy/pasting text?
[23:07] <aKPowered> # Appears as ARMANDO.
[23:07] <histo> olabaz: and I think you can then open preferences or manager I'm not in karmic so I can't see.
[23:08] <John-_> how do I set a program as the default for a file format?
[23:08] <hiexpo> how come everytime i relog in my eth is on a differant port
[23:08] <Klavier> http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=69077&file1=69077-1.jpg&file2=&file3=&name=gnome+color+chooser  in this screenshot there s a menu box.. center bottom .. big icons..
[23:08] <olabaz> histo: ok, then I go to output?
[23:08] <Klavier> how can i install panel?
[23:08] <histo> olabaz: what sort of sound problem are you having?
[23:08] <olabaz> histo: no sound is playing
[23:08] <ubunturoot> test
[23:08] <ZykoticK9> John-_, right click file in Nautilus / Properties / Open With tab
[23:08] <Yarcanox> Slart: I'll find out, but what's the proper apt-get command?
[23:08] <ubunturoot> wierd
[23:09] <Yarcanox> Slart: ah you said it beforehand, sorry :) thanks
[23:09] <Slart> InsaneMonkey02: have you tried installing the autoconf packages? it complains about that somewhere higher up.. it's not an error message, more like a suggestion.. but since it's not working it might be worth a try
[23:09] <histo> olabaz: I have to go I would describe what sound card you have and ask that you have no sound.
[23:09] <Slart> Yarcanox: =) you're welcome (use apt-cache search postfix   to find the package name)
[23:09] <olabaz> histo: ok, thanks for the help
[23:09] <sativa> what do the different colors in executable text files mean?
[23:09] <cdsboy> is there a way to move the area the notifications pop up in? It is popping up way to low on my screen and it is seriously frustrating.
[23:10] <InsaneMonkey02> Slart: What are the autoconf packages?
[23:10] <ZykoticK9> sativa, it's called Syntax Highlighting -- it just a way to keep everything clear for programmers
[23:10] <Slart> InsaneMonkey02: autoconf is a system for doing the ./configure, make things..
[23:10] <Slart> InsaneMonkey02: I'm not sure if it's an alternative to ./configure or if it complements it..
[23:10] <Klavier> mac4lin?
[23:10] <Klavier> xD
[23:11] <InsaneMonkey02> Slart: Where do I get it?
[23:11] <blakkheim> InsaneMonkey02: sudo aptitude install autoconf
[23:11] <Slart> InsaneMonkey02: sudo apt-get install autoconf   should do it
[23:11] <Slart> InsaneMonkey02: or what blakkheim said =)
[23:11] <thesamet> j # xmonad
[23:11] <thesamet> sorry :)
[23:12] <jason__> hey dudes
[23:12] <sativa> Zykotick9 how do I find out what the colors mean though? I'm trying to edit the text because it has an error
[23:12] <ZykoticK9> sativa, don't know man - best of luck
[23:12] <jason__> anyone succeeded with ubuntu in a netbook?
[23:13] <InsaneMonkey02> Slart: It still didn't work.
[23:13] <Slart> jason__: depends on what you mean by a netbook.. I have a cheap laptop with a small screen.. does that count? =)
[23:13] <sativa> Is there a standard color sceme for sytax hylighting?
[23:13] <Slart> InsaneMonkey02: well.. it was worth a try
[23:13] <nixjr> how could i use mv to rename many folders, i want to remove a prefix all the folders have on common
[23:13] <Slart> sativa: nope
[23:14] <ilya> hello everybody!
[23:14] <jason__> :D I get you , but I mean a new atom based machine
[23:14] <ZykoticK9> nixjr, mv + basename + for loop --- you might want to ask in #bash
[23:14] <sativa> slart so how do I find out what each color means in a particular text file? Is there a way?
[23:14] <Slart> jason__: ah... nope.. don't have one of those yet
[23:14] <ilya> I am new to Ubuntu linux and have a question re Grub2

[23:14] <duffydack> jason, dell mini 9 from 8.04 to 9.10 works nice

[23:14] <tony_> i got error when updating

[23:14] <nixjr> ZykoticK9, thanks, ill do that
[23:15] <adrock> hey folks, i just tried a fresh install of karmic on a new machine... and i didn't install ubuntu-desktop.  this should give me a text mode console, but at some point during the boot process something tries to set a video mode the hardware doesn't like and the console is corrupted...  any ideas as to what might be in the karmic boot sequence that would set some fancy video mode?
[23:15] <Slart> sativa: not really.. you would be better off learning the language it's written in
[23:15] <Slart> sativa: what kind of file is it?
[23:15] <jason__> thank you duffyduck
[23:15] <duffydack> jason, it actually came with dells ubuntu distro..
[23:15] <tony_> can some one help me
[23:15] <jason__> so should I avoid the newest?
[23:15] <Slart> tony_: pastebin the entire output..
[23:15] <Slart> !pastebin | tony_
[23:15] <duffydack> jason, you can install what you like...
[23:16] <duffydack> jason, I have 9.10 installed
[23:16] <Slart> !details | tony_, this is important too.. good questions get good answers.. bad questions.. well.. they get ignored or get bad answers
[23:17] <sebsebseb> Slart: Good way to use the factoid with your message.
[23:17] <jason__> I'm encouraged, thank you v much
[23:17] <InsaneMonkey02> Slart: It says BTNX will not work for intrepid onward. How do I know if I have something after Intrepid?
[23:17] <Slart> !intrepid
[23:17] <Slart> InsaneMonkey02: intrepid is 8.10.. means it was released in month 10 in 2008
[23:17] <ilya> when booting Karmic I see the screen with 2 versions of linux..2.6.31.-19 and 2.6.31-14..Why?Some time ago I had only one entry there but then I did something with config and have 2 versions on the grub2 screen..who can help?
[23:17] <Slart> InsaneMonkey02: you can type "lsb_release -a" in a terminal to find out what version you're running..
[23:18] <LateralForce> !help
[23:18] <sebsebseb> ilya: you installed updates, so got a new kernel?
[23:18] <Moat> hey, I'm looking for an encryption program
[23:18] <Moat> any suggestions?
[23:18] <ilya> sebsebseb it seems so
[23:18] <Slart> Moat: truecrypt.. or pgp
[23:18] <omac> Hello everyone, this is day two after updating from 9.04 to 9.10...  I still haven't gotten pwmconfig/fancontrol to work as before.  I've been to a few fancontrol pages, but I don't see any clear answers because there are rumors it could kill my pc if I don't do this right.
[23:19] <sebsebseb> ilya: it will list old kernels in Grub
[23:19] <InsaneMonkey02> Slart: Well I'm running 9.10, and if Intrepid is 8.10, then I guess that explains why it doesn't work...
[23:19] <jason__> peace out brothers and sisters
[23:19] <hellz_bellz> apache2 is not recognizind the libapache2-mod-perl2 package. I have tried synaptic and the repositories via web and apache2ctl -M
[23:19] <hellz_bellz>  shows its nonexistant
[23:19] <ilya> sebsebseb is it possible to remove the older one?
[23:19] <Moat> slart what's pgp?
[23:19] <Slart> InsaneMonkey02: yup.. let's hope they release an updated version that works with newer ubuntus
[23:19] <sebsebseb> ilya: Synaptic
[23:20] <ZykoticK9> !pgp | Moat
[23:20] <sebsebseb> ilya: or just edit  grub so it doesn't show old kernels, but then they are still installed.  also if you upgrade Ubuntu I think  all/most of the old kernels would get removed
[23:20] <sebsebseb> !pm > ilya
[23:20] <omac> !fancontrol
[23:20] <sebsebseb> !synaptic | ilya
[23:20] <Slart> Moat: Pretty Good Privacy .. or pgp for short.. there are some version of it in the repos.. It's a long story but it's pretty interesting.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy
[23:20] <omac> !pwmconfig
[23:21] <hellz_bellz> apache2 is not recognizind the libapache2-mod-perl2 package. I have tried synaptic and the repositories via web and apache2ctl -M
[23:21] <sebsebseb> ilya: Did you upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10?
[23:21] <abo-> my eclipse looks like it doesn't have any Java (or any java related) perspective
[23:21] <ilya> sebsebseb  no..I just installed the Karmic
[23:21] <ZykoticK9> omac, to message the bot with it NOT showing up in the channel use "/msg ubottu !pwmconfig"
[23:21] <sebsebseb> !grub2 | ilya
[23:22] <Agilo> I'm in need of help here: I'm looking for an IDE for C that allows me to use gcc and gdb in a SIMPLE environment (i.e. none of this project, solution creation, just compiling files and having a good view of all available functions, plus debugging using gdb in with a gui)
[23:22] <hellz_bellz> Agilo use geany
[23:23] <ilya> sebsebseb  so..what is better from your point of view - to remove the older kernel at all or just to remove it from the boot screen?
[23:23] <Agilo> hellz_bellz I'll give it a try right away
[23:23] <Agilo> thanks
[23:23] <sebsebseb> ilya: I tend to just leave it alone, and then when upgrading to a later version  old kernels will go, or on another clean install
[23:24] <hellz_bellz> apache2 is not recognizing the libapache2-mod-perl2 package. I have tried synaptic and the repositories via web and apache2ctl -M
[23:24] <ilya> sebsebseb  so how can I remove the older kernel at least from the list in GRUB2?
[23:24] <sebsebseb> ilya: I have removed from the old Grub  the kernel enteries,  Grub 2 is uh to edit
[23:25] <sebsebseb> ilya: I have also removed the old kernels themselves using Synaptic before with older versions of Ubuntu
[23:25] <olabaz> can someone help me with my sound. It was working before but now nothing comes out of the speakers
[23:25] <dreamy_> how can i check if "dri" is worrking ? anyone helping ?
[23:25] <sebsebseb> ilya: I don't know much about Grub 2, other than that it's more complex than the old one.  See the link I got the bot to give you
[23:25] <abo-> how can I get the Java perspective in my Eclipse
[23:26] <histo> ilya: you can just remove the old kernels from the system with synaptic.  It can be done via editing with grub2 but its a pita.
[23:26] <Lenin_Cat> how do I use my webcam?
[23:26] <sebsebseb> histo: remind me what pita means?
[23:26] <histo> sebsebseb: there is no option in grub2 to limit the number of kernels
[23:26] <Lenin_Cat> how do I use my webcam?
[23:26] <ilya> sebsebseb thanks a lot! Your assistance is very much appreciated!!!
[23:27] <sebsebseb> histo:  it's equivialnt to menu.lst could be edited and old kernel  enteries removed?
[23:27] <histo> !webcam > Lenin_Cat
[23:27] <jonzbcc> ugent :(  -- my update manager, and synaptic won't start (graphically). I can still use the command line, though (eg.: sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf)
[23:27] <histo> sebsebseb: not exactly it generates it on the fly
[23:27] <jonzbcc> urgent*
[23:27] <hellz_bellz> !webcam >Hellz_Bellz
[23:27] <nosferatu> hey
[23:27] <_dreamy> dsf
[23:27] <Agilo> hellz_bellz geany seems exactly what I'm looking for, thank you so much
[23:27] <sebsebseb> histo: maybe a little off topic the explination,  but  even so  not a big deal if you had done it here, instead of pm
[23:27] <jonzbcc> I found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=151149 -- which just says "reinstall" -- which I think is ridiculous
[23:27] <vinicius_> alguem me ajuda?????
[23:28] <nosferatu> I'm kind of a noob with ubuntu, but I've got a couple of (I think) simple questions
[23:28] <omac> dpkg-reconfigure xserver
[23:28] <nosferatu> what's a good way to clean up temp files and get rid of unnecessary libraries
[23:28] <histo> sebsebseb: didn't want people to go nuts with the last part of it.
[23:28] <hellz_bellz> apache2 is not recognizind the libapache2-mod-perl2 package. I have tried synaptic and the repositories via web and apache2ctl -M
[23:28] <nosferatu> also, i feel like my performance diminishes quickly over time
[23:28] <actionParsnip> yo yo yo
[23:28] <nosferatu> and would like to fix that
[23:28] <Agilo> what does "building" do to a file?
[23:28] <Gary20> when watching a video, can i make it so the monitor doesn't fade out on me? like somehow get ubuntu to know that i'm not active and am watching a video (eg, avi, dvd, not online flash videos)
[23:29] <omac> jonzbcc: dpkg-reconfigure xserver
[23:29] <histo> nosferatu: it shouldn't be slowing down over time.
[23:29] <hellz_bellz> i don know i use interpreted languages
[23:29] <Gary20> i'm not idle*
[23:29] <histo> nosferatu: unless you have more and more apps running on startup.
[23:29] <jonzbcc> omac: xserver? you think there's something wrong with x? -- everything else is working.
[23:29] <sebsebseb> histo: ok
[23:29] <cyberjunk502> which ssh client is best

[23:30] <Aedrich> !info sshd
[23:30] <Agilo> Question: What is the difference between build and compile?

[23:30] <jonzbcc> omac: so scrap what you said before?

[23:32] <actionParsnip> Siphon: run: sudo lshw -C network

[23:35] <g0th> does anyone know a good program to play music by "ambient" (I don't know the right word). I mean like: melancholic, dark, calm, etc. Maybe the better question is: is there some collection of background music that is sorted this way?
[23:35] <jonzbcc> omac: yeah, I suppose that would be nice -- but can you tell me where you read what you said I should do, "apt lock file needs to be deleted"?
[23:35] <g0th> it is for real life rpg
[23:35] <actionParsnip> g0th: amarok has channels like that
[23:35] <histo> Siphon: if you are trying to single out a person int he channel start to type their name then hit <tab> it wil auto compolete.  THen make your comment.
[23:35] <histo> Siphon: to send a pm you would do somehting like /msg someperson blah blah
[23:35] <Siphon> histo:  like that?

 have you tried the alternate cd?
[23:40] <actionParsnip> bobsomebody: did you md5 test the iso? did you verify the cd?
[23:40] <bobsomebody> when i boot into the live CD mode it gives me an error about could not connect to the system bus
[23:40] <Siphon> histo:  ok
[23:40] <histo> Siphon: also does the computer have a wired connection you might be able to use to install the wireless drivers/firmware if needed?
[23:40] <bobsomebody> OldSmoke after i hit install it flashes the screen a couple times and hangs, i never get to the installer
 try a new dl
[23:41] <Siphon> histo:  it does but i'm not able to get to it at the moment
[23:41] <histo> bobsomebody: try media check
 also get the alternate
[23:41] <hiexpo> kool thanks
[23:41] <actionParsnip> bobsomebody: did you md5 test the iso you downoaded? did you run the cd test you see on the first boot screen on the cd?
[23:41] <ubuntu> Guys, GRUB is gone, overwritten by a Windows installation that refuses to boot anyway.
[23:41] <histo> Siphon: okay do you have a thumb drive or another way to get files on to the system after you reboot?
[23:41] <ubuntu> How do I get it back?
[23:41] <actionParsnip> !grub | ubuntu
[23:41] <bobsomebody> histo the disk check came back fine
[23:41] <Siphon> histo:  I do
[23:41] <histo> bobsomebody: try safe graphics mode
[23:41] <Agilo> Is there a channel for c programmers?
[23:41] <cyberjunk502> how to compile putty 0.60
[23:41] <actionParsnip> !bootoptions | bobsomebody
[23:42] <OldSmoke> anybody else using ultimate 2.5?
[23:42] <bobsomebody> OldSmoke i went and got the alternate, i was just curious to see if this was a common issue
[23:42] <histo> Siphon: alright see if you can find out what chipset it is. Most likeley a broadcom 43xx
[23:42] <actionParsnip> cyberjunk502: why putty, you can ssh from command line as openssh-client is part of a default install
 no it usually installs or goes to the livecd desktop
[23:42] <ubuntu> I read a guide on how to restore GRUB, actionParsnip, but "find /boot/grub/stage1" returns cannot find.
[23:42] <bobsomebody> histo i almost forgot all about that... but isnt safe graphics mode for older cards? my hard ware is very up to date
[23:42] <actionParsnip> ubuntu: that page tells you how to install grub
 how old is your pc?
[23:43]  * bobsomebody pets his new amd phenom quad cores
[23:43] <Siphon> histo: its a dellwireless 1395 WLAN mini card
[23:43] <actionParsnip> bobsomebody: you may need it to get installed, the hardware being new is moot
[23:43] <cyberjunk502> actionparsnip: and how to do that
[23:43] <bobsomebody> OldSmoke board + proc just out of the box
[23:43] <OldSmoke> nice
[23:43] <actionParsnip> bobsomebody: if the kernel doesnt like the hardware then you need to tweak it with bootoptions
[23:43] <OldSmoke> bbiaf
[23:43] <bobsomebody> the video card is maybe 2 years old but still decent, geforce something 512mb ddr2
[23:43] <Lenin_Cat> http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/#download according to this its supported but it wont show on mplayer or cheese
[23:43] <histo> Siphon: alright let me find otu what chipset hold up
[23:44] <actionParsnip> cyberjunk502: just type: ssh username@servername
[23:44] <Siphon> histo: thankyou
[23:44] <Lachance> D^artagnan, I like this name better.
[23:44] <actionParsnip> cyberjunk502: you dont need an extra app
[23:44] <jonzbcc> ha!! voila ! -- this "segmentation faulty tree" was the problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=19563
[23:44] <bobsomebody> OldSmoke yeah new egg had phenoms for a dirt cheap, i think there is a 9850 open box for like 70 bucks if you've been wanting one
[23:44] <histo> Siphon: broadcom 4310 looks like.
[23:44] <histo> Siphon: what version of ubuntu where you trying to install
[23:44] <actionParsnip> !broadcom | histo
[23:45] <Siphon> histo: 9.10
[23:45] <surial> Well, this is weird - I configured a static IP in /etc/network/interfaces, but it gets applied... sometimes. When I reboot, my IP is randomly the static one or the DHCP assigned one.
[23:45] <mario> no sound in karmic... I only get sound in tvtime and nothing more. Anyone ca help?
[23:45] <surial> and it tends to bounce around regardless. WTF, and how do I fix it?
[23:45] <ZykoticK9> cyberjunk502, I entirely agree with what actionParsnip has just explained - you don't "need" another program BUT putty is in the default repository (v0.60) so to install "sudo apt-get install putty" would work, you should try to avoid "compiling" things whenever possible (makes life MUCH easier)
[23:45] <histo> Siphon: let me send you alink with directions.
[23:45] <ineptmofo> k im stumped
[23:45] <actionParsnip> mario: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -rf ~/.pulse*
[23:46] <Siphon> histo: ok
[23:46] <ubuntu> Thanks a lot actionParsnip
[23:46] <ubuntu> This should work.
[23:46] <histo> Siphon: you can download the two files and add the cd as a repository for the other one.
[23:46] <Lenin_Cat> ERROR opening V4L interface: No such file or director
[23:46] <actionParsnip> mario: then press alt+f2 and type: pulseaudio   and hit enter
[23:46] <Lenin_Cat> :<
[23:46] <ineptmofo> i added an item using alacarte,  Not only does it not appear in Alacarte so i cannot remove it the shrotcut doesnt work
[23:46] <histo> Siphon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#No%20Internet%20Access
[23:46] <ineptmofo> now im stumped as i have a stupid shortcut that doesnt work and cannot be removed in alacarte as it doesnt appear
[23:46] <cyberjunk502> thanks zykotick9
[23:47] <Lenin_Cat> ERROR opening V4L interface: No such file or director help
[23:47] <histo> Siphon: see if you get a wired network connection you can just System > administration > hard ware drivers.  Otherwise you have to follow that howto.
 if ya want it all including the kitchen sink try ultimate 2.5
[23:47] <actionParsnip> Lenin_Cat: what causes that error, can yu give more details
[23:47] <actionParsnip> !ultimate | OldSmoke
[23:47] <Lenin_Cat> actionParsnip, luvcview
[23:48] <histo> Siphon: the problem is the firmware for your card is propreitary and they won't release it to the nix community.
[23:48] <mario> actionParsnip,  no work...
[23:48] <OldSmoke> k sry am not here for support ty
[23:48] <Siphon> histo: but the downloads will get me past that?
[23:48] <mario> in the soun options tab it doesn't show aplicattions...
[23:48] <histo> Siphon: you need those two files and you also need to add the installation cd as a repository.
[23:49] <actionParsnip> Lenin_Cat: are you using a dodgeytech webcam (or logitech as its more commonly known)
[23:49] <looksharp> how do i add fonts
[23:49] <Siphon> histo: how do I go about adding it as a repository?
[23:49] <histo> Siphon: in synaptic add the cdrom as a source
[23:49] <Dr_Willis> !fonts
[23:49] <actionParsnip> mario: worth a shot, the files get recreated when you reran pulseaudio
[23:49] <Lenin_Cat> actionParsnip, yes
[23:49] <ineptmofo> can anyone help me with my alacarte problem
[23:49] <looksharp> ty
[23:50] <histo> Siphon: when you insert the cd it should ask if you want to add it. If not system > administraiton > software sources
[23:50] <ZykoticK9> ineptmofo, what's your issue with alacarte?
[23:50] <actionParsnip> Lenin_Cat: ok run: lsusb     one line will identify the cam, you can use the 8 character ID to find guides
[23:50] <mario> actionParsnip,  I tried it did make a sound when I hit the kill... but nothing happens...
[23:50] <mario> anymore ideas?
[23:50] <histo> Siphon: let me find a easier howto mayb eon the forums.
[23:50] <John-_> Is it possible to rip music from a flash drive?
[23:50] <actionParsnip> !rip
[23:50] <jrib> John-_: wouldn't you just copy it?
[23:51] <Lenin_Cat> actionParsnip, oh I know the code its 046d:0804
[23:51] <ineptmofo> ZykoticK9: I added an item using alacarte but i accidentelally created it wrongly and although the icon appears in the start menu it doesnt show up in alacarte so i cant remove it
[23:51] <Siphon> histo:  this should be fine.  I'm just really not familar at all with ubuntu or linux in general
[23:51] <ZykoticK9> John-_, if it is on a flash drive it's already ripped - just copy the files
[23:51] <Lenin_Cat> according to the UVC site its supported
[23:51] <actionParsnip> Lenin_Cat: ok then you can find guides based on that code
[23:51] <John-_> Yeah...but I want to rip m4p files as mp3 files
[23:51] <ZykoticK9> ineptmofo, are you sure it's not showing up in alacarte?  It has to be there somewhere.
[23:51] <Siphon> histo: the cd I have is driver cd for all the drivers on the laptop. is that going to matter?
[23:51] <Lenin_Cat> actionParsnip, http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ its supported according to this! -_-
[23:52] <ZykoticK9> John-_, that's not really ripping that's converting -- many tools for that
[23:52] <histo> Siphon: no the installation cd for ubuntu is what i'm talking about.
[23:52] <histo> Siphon: do you have that?
[23:52] <actionParsnip> Lenin_Cat: maybe you need a later version or some options
[23:52] <John-_> Is there a program that converts from m4p? Hymn was taken down.
[23:52] <ZykoticK9> John-_, "soundconverter" is a GUI conversion program that might work --- lame for cli conversion
[23:53] <jrib> John-_: ffmpeg probably
[23:53] <Lenin_Cat> actionParsnip, its preinstalled in the linux kernel
[23:53] <Siphon> histo: i've got ubuntu already on my computer.  its on its own partition on duel boot.  It runs fine i just cannot connect to the internet
[23:53] <John-_> Gstreamer can't convert m4p
[23:53] <ineptmofo> ZykoticK9: positive, i added the shortcut under the Sound & Video menu but the items arent there
[23:53] <histo> Siphon: isn't it a laptop?
[23:54] <ineptmofo> also i cannot delete items that are already showing in alacarte even if they are removed from the start menu iteself
[23:54] <actionParsnip> Lenin_Cat: does it work with cheese?
[23:54] <ZykoticK9> ineptmofo, sorry man - i have no idea then...  best of luck
[23:54] <Lenin_Cat> actionParsnip, no

[23:55] <EWR> hey guys. would all the "restricted formats" download show up as unused packages in Janitor?
[23:55] <EWR> im trying to figure out if i should delete them or not
[23:55] <bobsomebody> can someone give me that boot option link again?
[23:55] <ubuntu_giant> Hello.  I'd like to read documentation in /usr/share/doc/, but I just see a bunch of .gz files.  Is there a way to read docs?  Thanks.
[23:55] <InvaderZim> Can you tell me if it's planned to change starting cursor in kpackagekit at kde 4.4, because its a little annoying opening it and the search field not being already selected, so you have to click it. In 4.3 it was selected.
[23:55] <InsaneMonkey02> How do I create a init.d script?
[23:56] <klappi> ubuntu_giant: zless
[23:56] <ubuntu_giant> klappi: Thanks.
[23:56] <Siphon> histo:  yes i'm running it on a laptop
[23:56] <actionParsnip> InvaderZim: i'd ask in #kubuntu
[23:56] <jrib> InsaneMonkey02: use /etc/init.d/skeleton as a guide
[23:56]  * bobsomebody just did an md5 check on the iso's
[23:56] <InsaneMonkey02> jrib: Thanks.
[23:56] <bobsomebody> gonna try a slower burn on the alternate disk first
[23:57] <jrib> !startup > InsaneMonkey02
[23:57] <histo> Siphon: can you just take the laptop by your router and plug it in it would be much easier.  Then you just system > administration > hardware drivers.  And it will install it for you.
[23:57] <EWR> how do i know if computer Janitor is right or wrong?!?!?!?!
[23:57] <histo> Siphon: if not follow this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6077792&postcount=72
[23:57] <klappi> InsaneMonkey02: maybe rc.local is good enough?
[23:57] <Dr_Willis> EWR:  ive had that janitor tool suggest way too many Wrong things to trust it
[23:57] <Stavros> hello
[23:57] <actionParsnip> EWR: +1 what Dr_Willis says
[23:57] <Stavros> what --prefix should i use when compiling software for ubuntu?
[23:58] <EWR> Dr_Willis: i installed dvd rip then immediately uninstalled it because i felt bad about ripping a dvd a rented
[23:58] <hiexpo> EWR, most of the time it is wrong i never use it
[23:58] <Dr_Willis> EWR:  im not sure how it suggets stuff - but i think it often thinkjs anything you installed by hand is 'useless' eve if you are always using it
[23:58] <actionParsnip> EWR: if you want to clean up the place se bleachbit
[23:58] <EWR> Dr_Willis:and now i want to remove every trace of it
[23:58] <Siphon> histo: no.  i'm on base for the next few weeks and all i've got is wireless access and not access to the router
[23:58] <Dr_Willis> EWR:  so use the normal package manager. Big deal. No need for computer janitor
[23:58] <histo> Siphon: yeah then just follow the last link I sent you it tells you how to download the two files etc..
[23:58] <jrib> Stavros: it's very very very rare that you would actually have to do so.  What are you compiling?  (/usr/local is what you should use)
[23:59] <Stavros> jrib: varnish
[23:59] <Dr_Willis> EWR:  i feel bad about being branded a criminal when i want to watch a legally bought dvd under linux. So to each their own. :)
[23:59] <histo> Siphon: you can download them on windows then copy to a thumb drive.  then when you reboot you can put them in yoru home like the directions say.
[23:59] <EWR> Dr_Willis: if i removed it from software center, am i good?
[23:59] <actionParsnip> Siphon: you can use ndisgtk to use the windows driver on the cd (i think ndisgtk is in a standard install), you can also use a removable media to use another system to get the files you need
[23:59] <InsaneMonkey02> jrib: I just need to make a two line script.
[23:59] <Dr_Willis> EWR:  or learn touse synaptic or whatever other package manager you like.
[23:59] <jrib> !info varnish | Stavros
[23:59] <Stavros> jrib: i want it to be installed over the currently installed package so things aren't messed up
[23:59] <Siphon> histo: Awesome.  thankyou very much.  I might be back on in a few.  if I do get connected how do I get back to this chat if I get connected?
[23:59] <jrib> Stavros: erm, no you don't...
[23:59] <Stavros> jrib: i'm compiling the latest trunk
[23:59] <Stavros> why not?
