histoSiphon: well pidgin should be able to connect to irc. Or xchat can be installed.00:00
jribStavros: install it to /usr/local, that's the place for stuff not managed by the package manager00:00
histoSiphon: applicaitons > internet> pidgin messenger00:00
VCoolioStavros: then use checkinstall, it will create a deb, no issues00:00
InsaneMonkey02I use Pidgen for IRC.00:00
hiexpoEWR, you will remove mosr everything with synaptic that's all you need00:00
Stavrosjrib: but i *want* it to be installed over the package so it will be upgraded00:00
EWRDr_Willis:so should i reinstall dvd rip then remove it with synaptic00:00
Siphonhisto:  thank you again00:00
jribStavros: why do you think you want it there?00:00
Stavrosjrib: so i can upgrade it using apt00:00
ubuntu_giantI just installed DirectFB on Ubuntu.  The README says that docs are already installed in html format.   Where is it installed?00:00
Dr_WillisEWR:  if its not showing up in synaptic - then it IS removed. all these tools do the exact same stuff in the background. They are all front ends to the apt-get systems00:01
jribStavros: then why compile it at all?00:01
histoSiphon: anyone should be able to help with that broadcom issue its pretty common.00:01
Stavrosjrib: because i need a version for which there is no package yet00:01
hiexpoEWR, go into synaptic and type dvd rip and if its removed it will be unchecked00:01
Dr_Willis!apt | EWR00:01
ubottuEWR: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE)00:01
dfcnvtAnyone play with blueproximity?00:01
Siphonhisto: i figured it was but it's nice to have a community like this00:01
jribStavros: either build your own package or install it to /usr/local.  When the time comes that you do not want it anymore, remove your custom install and use APT00:01
Stavrosjrib: i think i'll build my own package, it should be better00:02
Stavrosjrib: is it easy? i've never done it before00:02

darolusate: devede is good00:14
Dr_Willissate:  i use 'devede to CONVERT video files to 'dvd video' format. Then you use whatever burning tool you like to burn the .iso it makes00:14
darolu^^00:15
sateWell i've been using divx for windows, and the reason i like it, is because it burns movies fast00:15
satedoes devede burn fast?00:15
Dr_Willisdevede dosent BURN - it makes a dvd.iso you then burn00:15
darolusate: read what Dr_Willis said, what I said was half the true00:15
Dr_Willisconverting is not burning...00:15
* Dr_Willis wonders why peopel think video conversion tools need to also be optical drive burning tools..00:15
satehow fast can it "convert"00:16
Dr_Willissate:  itsa a front end to ffmpeg or mencoder I belive. So as fast as those tools can.00:16
* duffydack cant replace ffmpeg with 8 threads00:16
Dr_Willisand it uses other tools to do other things00:17
sateCrap can't use it for kubuntu00:17
Dr_WillisYou can use Devede on Kubuntu00:18

Dr_WillisI use devede all the time to copy a dozen cartoon.avis to dvd.iso then i burn them with whatever tool i like.00:21

samsoniteSlart i have to press FN and then numlock tho00:47
Slartsamsonite: or some other weird key.. like function-blabla to turn the numerical keyboard on or off00:47
Dr_Willissounds like the dvd player is playing divx  or whatever video files to disk.00:47
samsoniteSlart its possible the FN key isnt registering i guess00:47
samsoniteSlart but it was like that from install as well00:47
Dr_WillisFeedHunter:  thers other mame front ends.. but ive not used any in a few months00:48
sateDr_Willis:  so you're saying my dvd player can just read divx dvds?00:48
Slartsate: try the virtualbox way then.. it seems to be working alright for you.. I don't think virtualbox will be any slower than running windows natively00:48
Aggrav8dsamsonite - wrong kb driver.00:48
Dr_Willissate:  yes. thats VERY likely00:48
samsoniteAggrav8d yeah that seems to be the case00:48
sateI actaully think vbox runs xp faster for some reason00:48
Dr_Willissate:  i have several such players/devices00:48
samsoniteAggrav8d not sure which one is required tho - its for a thinkpad R3100:48
Aggrav8dgoogle the keyboard + linux, see if anyone else has this issue.00:49
Slartsamsonite: I talked to someone else with the same problem the other day.. I think we even looked at some keyboard images of the thinkpad keyboard.. we didn't find a solution though00:49
Dr_Willisof course im waiting for someone to chime in that divx is just mpeg4 or whatever.. :)00:49
samsoniteAggrav8d any way to find the keyboard model on a laptop00:49
dellIs there irc where i can learn crack wireless wep key00:49

Slartdell: probably.. or google for it.. it's out there.. this isn't the channel for it though00:49
dellHave anyone here tried cracking wireless wep key and have a success with 9.10?00:49
Dr_WillisThere are two DivX codecs; the regular MPEG-4 Part 2 DivX codec and the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC DivX Plus HD codec00:49
blakkheimdell: maybe #scriptkiddies00:50
Dr_Willisdarolu:  err... Hmm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX00:50

daroluDr_Willis: yeah I was in one not long ago =p00:51
Dr_Willisor when people rename a .bmp to .jpg and wonder why its still huge...00:51
histodell: yes its not that hard. although I would suggest booting a live distro like back track.  All the tools and proper wireless drivers are installed already.00:52
Slartsamsonite: you could try a live cd of lucid.. the next version.. see if it's the same there00:52
FeasibilityStudyblakkheim: RRROFFFFFLLLL  I went ahead and opened #scriptkiddies as a joke, and that dell dude came in there asking if anyone knew how to crack WEP keys00:52

pokuigetting that to work with ubuntu is going to take me a while :(00:53

novato_brvlc is freezing when it is running mkv videos encoded on h26400:53

Slartsamsonite: nothing in the forums?00:53
samsonitenot from what I can find00:53
Viper@ novato, have Compiz enabled?00:53
novato_brI've played one mkv video encoded on x264 or h264 and it has frozen00:54
novato_brI guess, Viper00:54
novato_brI'm not sure, because I'm running ubuntu from my pendrive live usb00:54
sanzkyhello, any hardcore gedit user around?00:54
Slartnovato_br: try running vlc from a terminal.. see if you get some kind of error message00:54
darolunovato_br: can you run vlc from command line to see what is causing the error?00:54
novato_brok, Slart00:54
novato_brgood idea00:54
Slartsanzky: those exist? =)00:54
ViperWell compiz & 3D stuff always seems to freeze VLC or Mplayer00:54
sanzkyI just realize, jeje00:54
novato_brok, Viper00:54
looksharpnovato_br: might your pc performance doesn't support mkv or 1080p resoultion00:55
sanzkySlart, there are a bunch of nice plugins00:55
samsonitesanzky im about to be a hardcore gedit user... switching the work PC to ubuntu next weekend00:55
daroluI have to admit it is the first time I hear -hardcore- and -gedit- on the same sentence00:55
novato_brcan't vlc developers fix these bugs yet, Viper?00:55
daroluwell read00:55
samsoniteVista is terrible for web development - apache crashes more than it serves pages00:55
Slartsanzky: oh.. I've never even looked at plugins for gedit.. perhaps it's time to re-evaluate it00:55
samsonitesanzky im looking forward to something more textmate-esque00:55
sanzkysamsonite, do you know any plugin that will mark a close tag or bracket when I select the open tag/bracket ??00:55
Vipergo ask them, that's just my personal experience with it00:55
samsonitesanzky i dont know, I havent started using it yet :)00:56
Dr_Willisnovato_br:  i notices some issues with vlc the other day and some video files - they were not playjng properly on the netbook. gnom-mplayer handled them fine however..00:56

novato_brbut I'm not at netbook, Dr_Willis00:56
novato_brI'm at desktop computer00:56
sanzkysamsonite, It's actually the textmate style I'm looking to00:56
Dr_Willisnovato_br:  yep. testing vlc in 9.10 right now. lets see if its better00:57
darolunovato_br: problems with compiz-3d-video-etc, in my experience, have more to do with video drivers and X11 issues than the actual player.00:57
=== live is now known as oinkoinkoink
novato_brhey guys, when the video isn't playing in full screen, there isn't error00:57
FeasibilityStudySMPlayer FTW!00:57

darolunovato_br: did you run it via terminal (command line)?00:58
Dr_Willisnovato_br:  vlc on 9.10 is not having the same issues.. so perhaps the next vlc will work better  :)00:58
novato_bryeah, darolu00:58
darolunovato_br: did it print any error at all?00:58

cribozaiI have a small problem with pulseaudio. After installing libsdl2.0debian-pulseaudio instead of the alsa one i now get urbanterror to work smoothly. But when i use mumble att the same time as i play (also configured to use pulseaudio) i get significant "lags" in the game. If there is a fix for this i would be most happy.

steelstevehas anyone looked at my problem (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8853739)03:26
soreauDr_Willis: but since on debian based systems like ubuntu, compiz is really compiz-manager, a script that appends --replace and some other necessary options depending on the detected setup03:26
InsaneMonkey02Dr_Willis: Didn't it go in the script, not terminal?03:26
pilif12pJust curious, shouldn't the option to open gimp just say "GIMP" Not "GIMP Image editor" ? GIMP stands for "Gnu Image Manipulation Program" "Gnu Image Manipulation Program Image Editor" makes no sense. really03:26

stevebuntuwhere would i uninstall it ?03:26
firekoolapt-get remove [name of package here]03:27
soreauDr_Willis: While it doesn't hurt to add --replace, see the output of 'ps ax|grep compiz.real|grep -v grep' after running compiz --repalce on ubuntu. It will have two '--replace' arguments03:27

Lee_Stopquestion about motherboards - how do you know what CPU supports your motherboard, I have an older PC it has a socket-775, I just dont know if I can use dual-core on it03:59
Lee_Stopright now it has a celeron03:59
grndslmLee_Stop, yes, socket775 can use dual-core.  google your motherboard manufacturer's website and download the manual for your mobo!03:59

grndslmLee_Stop, you might need to look at the mobo04:02
Dr_Willisraul_:  you take a video file. devede generates a dvd video formated video and menu - and makes an dvd.iso file you then burn04:02

hatake_kakashimobidroid, check to see if the sound server settings are muted, not quite sure with pulseaudio but I'd check there first05:08

hatake_kakashiSpaceGhostC2C, lol thanks, pulseaudio is generally the way, I personally don't like it so I removed it in favour of alsa myself, which is old and lacks a few features but works for me05:16
hatake_kakashipaket, which media player are you using?05:16

Dr_Willisdooglus:  or unplug the HD's then just boot from cd, with theusb in the pc05:17
mobidroidhatake_kakashi: whats wierd is that the players are not able to stream sound, like no time is running on the music player like if it was clogged somewhere... If it was a simple mute i would see time increasing while playing stuff no?05:17

mobidroidhatake_kakashi> no crash just no sound05:20
kareesergrumbly: I haven't done it myself - but look at it this way... the atom is already a highly efficient processor. Any more squeezing you do out of it would just net you a very very small increase in performance.05:20
Dr_Willisdooglus:  not much of a guide to it..05:20

grndslmnikhil_:  pretty sure that if you just resume the command you had last, it'll pick up where it left off06:51
nikhil_i shut down since then06:52
nikhil_well more like, resume from hibernation failed06:52
nikhil_^^ grndslm06:52
grndslmwhether that's an "aptitude update; aptitude upgrade" or "aptitude install mythtv"06:52
grndslmit should still recover06:52
grndslmeven after a failed hibernation06:52
grndslmif it downloaded half the necessary files, it will skip that and resume the remaining files... then install after completion of that06:52
nikhil_grndslm: ah, aptitude update06:52
madjoeHow to use separate wallpapers for each virtual desktop, without losing my icons on desktop (nautilus)???06:52
grndslmi use aptitude.... it seems to have better dependency resolution than apt-get... plus i hate having to remember "apt-cache search" to search, when i can just aptitude search06:53
grndslmmany benefits to aptitude, IMHO06:53
mneptokgrndslm: that's what "alias" is for06:53
grndslmmneptok:  the benefits go a lot deeper than just typing the command06:54
mneptokgrndslm: i'll stick with apt-get. ATM, it gets more attention from Ubuntu core devs.06:54
grndslmpeople have issues all the time where apt-get remove doesn't solve their problem, whereas aptitude purge will solve it06:54
ardchoillegrndslm: alias appsearch='apt-cache search'  ;)06:55
mneptokgrndslm: maybe they should try "apt-get purge" then06:55
kinja-sheepgrndslm: You can't do "apt-get install pidgin<tab><tab>" in aptitude.06:55
nikhil_grndslm: i didnt know that dependency failure was even possible with apt06:55
grndslmkinja-sheep, uh... yes you can06:55
nikhil_grndslm: i tried using suse when switching from ubuntu to kubuntu...yast is a disgusting mess. it really frustrated me.06:55
grndslmeven still... the only benefit i've heard for apt-get is that the errors are better suited for n00bs or something like that... but aptitude output seems great for me06:55
nikhil_grndslm: i am a noob :)06:56
kinja-sheepgrndslm: Oh wow. That is right. I wasn't capable of doing this in the past.06:56
grndslmnikhil_, not dependency failure... but dependency "confusion"06:56
nikhil_grndslm: example?06:56
user32lol me too "noob"06:56
grndslmnikhil_, basically... if you install something in apt-get with 50 dependencies, i don't believe all of those dependencies will be removed with apt-get...06:57

dsnydersWhen I was using another distro, there was a website that had "fixes" for all the common issues like codecs, etc.  Is there a "finishing" website for ubuntu for adding repositories and such?06:59
grndslmit's resolvable, but it's time consuming, of course06:59
ardchoillegrndslm: ok, we get it.. you like aptitude. I'm glad you found something that works for you :)06:59
user32how to change my disk titles ?? I mean my date disk ??07:00

nikhil_grndslm: yeah this is your example. ardchoille im just un-noobifying :P07:00
grndslmardchoille, right... it works out of the box... if apt-get did that with a simple "install" or "purge" switch, then i'd use it too07:00

jaemcoreyman, you can, however, do something like Nokia's Maemo OS does, and mount something like /home/user/MyDocs as a FAT partition, while making /home/user something Linux-friendly07:24

jaemcoreyman, that was a fairly arbitrary example, but in some cases, I believe various config files and such use features that are not supported by FAT07:25
coreymanmenptok these are desktop computers im not going to be SSH'ing07:25

theodoreI deleted the network and power managment icon from my bar...how to restore it?09:05
Dr_Willismeowbuntu:  that script dident work with Fetherlinux the other day when i tried09:05
stdiseaseKrai, you'd have to write an extension for Nautilus for that, I dont completely understand the purpose of it though, you right click a HD and it dd if=hd of=what?09:05
FrozenFireHow do I go about querying seahorse for a stored password? That is, if I wanted to use it in a command, like: somecommand --password=`seahorse gimme password 5`09:05

Gryllidasome user "paket" had problems with realtek audio today. he tried another driver as i told him, and then quit IRC to reboot. was the problem solved?09:07
Kraior something like this09:07
stdiseaseKrai, mhmm that probably won't work as you expect it to though, dd is probably not what you need09:07
Kraiadd it.09:07
Kraii am mint user than i donno exactly what named it is09:07
Kraihmm i c stdisease09:07
DiverdudeDr_Willis, ok....and for my second question...isn't the idea of a packet manager that it should keep all programs installed using it, up to date automatically? I have on several occations found software which was very old in the packet manager09:08
Dr_WillisDiverdude:  it gets updates from the REPOSITORIES.. if the repos are not up to date.. then the programs wont be09:08
theodoreKrai:..thanx man...:)09:08
Dr_WillisDiverdude:   there are updated unoffical repos you could use. Ubuntu uses a 6 mo relese cycle. so theres always stuff out of date09:09
Dr_Willis!latest09:09
ubottuPackages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports.09:09
Kraiokjey :)09:09
DiverdudeDr_Willis, mmm....but then the ubuntu repos are not up of date?09:09
MyrttiDiverdude: and the applications in the repositories are up to date with the best possible stability, not necessarily the latest09:09
Dr_WillisDiverdude:  6 mo release cycle.. see what bot says.09:09
newbiehello09:09
stdiseaseKrai, what do you ultimately want accomplished though, to copy conents of .iso files to your file system, or directly to your HD as raw data??09:09
Dr_Willis!release09:09
ubottuUbuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases09:09

stdiseaseKrai, because if the first, it's done in many steps,  mount .iso to /tmp  , cp -R /tmp /destination , umount /tmp09:10
Kraihmm i c09:11
DiverdudeDr_Willis, okay09:11
Diverdudethx09:11
stdiseaseKrai, and writing Nautilus extensions isn't as trivial as you think so you could instead write a simple shell script and execute it from console09:11
Kraibut i think it can be possible with weel codding09:11
newbieI have installed Zorin OS on my laptop and would like to ask if there is a better distribution because i feel it slow and the applications hangs often09:11
Kraiyes i c :) forget my question :)09:11
stdiseaseKrai, if you're up for it go ahead, #gnome might be a better place to start hehe09:11
_mikeruis there any pidgin plugin with the same (or similar) funcionality of MessengerDiscovery's !imitate?09:11
Dr_Willisnewbie:  never heard of it... thers dozens if not hundereds of disrtos out you could try09:12

ubottunewbie: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.09:13

mtx_initclau2: try modprobe -r bnx209:20
sagaciShazbotMcMurder: sorry to break it to you, but you'll need to use a mac or a windows pc to use the store09:20
ShazbotMcMurderfuuu u09:20
Dr_Willissagaci:  but ubuntu is more thenjust a variant. :) and gets farther apart then resyncs.. then diverges...  its not debian with a diffrent theme09:20
LcawteHello, I heard there was a simple-ish way to start a server up on ubuntu? /me is looking to run a local one09:20
ShazbotMcMurdersagaci: not fuuu you, that was just 'fuuuuu'09:20
Dr_WillisLcawte:  'a server' is vague - a server to do what?09:20
mtx_initLcawte: ubuntu server is very easy to run09:21
ShazbotMcMurdersagaci: even I got iTunes to work, I couldn't use the store?09:21
mtx_initalmost easy for a child to do it09:21
sagaciShazbotMcMurder: yeah but after you get a few of them, you can sync to the ipod via ubuntu09:21

jackbrownAnybody here? I made a mess with my resources.list ? IS anybody available to help me ?09:21
SlartShazbotMcMurder: you could try a vm.. that's what I would do.. you still need a windows license though09:21
archboxmannewbie: since your processor is a bit slow and you lack memory consider using a windows manager with what ever linux distro you chioce09:21
ShazbotMcMurdersagaci: craappppyyyy09:21
Dr_WillisLcawte:  so run them..   :)09:21
jazzdarolu_,  i shut the xchat b4 writting how to run that file...09:22
Dr_WillisLcawte:  install the services you need. there ya go.09:22
sagaciShazbotMcMurder: i'm assuming you do have a windows or mac installation sitting around09:22
=== Kamokow is now known as Kamokow`afk
ShazbotMcMurdersagaci: kinda sorta, not really09:22

Dr_WillisLcawte:  you tell us what DO you need.09:22
newbarchboxman: How do you know im low on memory and got a slow processor?09:22
Dr_WillisI dont run your python bot.. or use mediawiki. so noidea what they use09:22
newbiearchboxman, you mean that the windows interface is more suitable for my system09:23
darolu_jazz: sudo sh ./yourfile09:23
newbarchboxman:Sorry dont know my own nick09:23
sagaciShazbotMcMurder: unless you need new high end games, itunes, photoshop, ubuntu should be able to do most things for you09:23
LcawteOk, IRC bot is python, I think ubuntu has dat.. and MediaWiki uses PHP, MySql, and possibly apache09:23
Dr_Willis!lamp | Lcawte09:23
ubottuLcawte: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)09:23
archboxmannewbie yes09:23
archboxmannewbie: check out distrowatch.com09:23
newbieso Zorin has a windows interface09:23
clau2mtx_init, you know what ? the greatest thing just happened: if you leave it long enough the kernel just goes on without bnx2 firmware :)09:23
archboxmannewbie: this is kinda a hard way to learn09:23
LcawteBut how do I get it onto like the /server/ so other people in my network can visit it?09:24
clau2mtx_init, thanks for the help anyway!09:24
newbiei'm on the distrowatch.com now09:24
jazzdarolu_,  gracias again. wrote it down this time... hehe09:24
Dr_Willisnewbie:  they all have a interace.. some are more like windows then others.. some are radically diffrent09:24
mtx_initclau2: ok great09:24
clau2mtx_init, it complains several times, at about 1 min interval, so it takes a while09:25
jackbrownCould anybody take a look to my sources.list file  to see what i messed ? http://www.pastebin.com/d282890cc09:25
Dr_WillisLcawte:  give them your ip. let them  go to http://###.###.###.###/ or use a dynamic dns service  or set up a actual domain09:25
newbieDr_Willis, yes I know each Os has its interface. But i want to work on linux not a copy of windows09:25
archboxmannewbie: there is crunchbag linux, linux mint also has fluxbox, again any of windows managers are not that friendly try maybe XFCE09:25
darolu_jazz: no problem09:25
Dr_Willisnewbie:  none are a 'copy' of windows. some are more windows like then others09:25
Dr_Willisnewbie:  go try them out and see.. Most ubuntu based ones use gnome with some tweaks09:25
LcawteDr_Willis: you can host your own domains on Ubuntu right? How?09:25
jackbrownDr_Willis: could u give me an help too ?09:25
Dr_WillisLcawte:  proberly can. and ive never bothered.09:26
Dr_Willisjackbrown:  is there some specific issue with your sources.list?09:26
spantherhello all. is it possible to distibution upgrade from lts to lts without updating to other usual releases, means smoothly without hassle?09:26
archboxmannewbie: need to burn a copy of iso to cd or dvd and play with the distro's09:26
Dr_Willisspanther:  thats a feature of the LTS - yes09:26
newbiearchboxman, if i do not like to use a windows manager so what to use09:26
archboxmanxfce or lxde09:27
Dr_Willisnewbie:  if you have a graphical interface you will be using a 'window manager'   not 'windows manager'09:27
darolu_jackbrown: open your software sources (at system - admin), and check for duplicated sources; uncheck/delete those that are duplicated09:27
spantherDr_Willis, so i don't need to follow the other distributions and can make clean safe jumps from one LTS to another?09:27
jackbrownDr_Willis: yes i'm unable to upgrade packages correctly,09:27
Slartspanther: I expect lts->lts upgrades to be smooth.. considering what the idea of the lts is..09:27
jackbrownhttp://www.pastebin.com/d282890cc09:27
haffeVarf09:27
jackbrownhere is my source.list09:27
Dr_Willisnewbie:  thats a gernic term for a graphical user interface. a 'windowmanager' is a spcific program that manages the progrms windows you are seeing .09:27
stdiseasenewbie, "Window Manager" is NOT "Windows manager" I think you're being confused09:27
Slartspanther: but I've never tried it myself09:27
newbif my proxy is at 192.168.1.2 port 6588 is the correct command to setup ubuntu server to use it "http_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:6588/"?09:27
newbieDr_Willis, sorry i did not notice the different09:27
stdiseasenewbie, a "window manager" has nothing to do with the product from Microsoft09:28
mneptokspanther: correct. it will always be possible to upgrade from LTS to LTS.09:28
newbieyes I got it now09:28
Dr_Willisnewbie:  windows does not mean 'ms windows' :) in all cases09:28
archboxmannewbie: here follow this link http://xwinman.org/09:28
ineptmofoanyone here using the netbook remix at all?09:28
spantherSlart, i just ask because in ubuntu update manager you can check two things. first is update with every distribution and the second is only upgrade to long term support distributions09:28
Dr_Willisjackbrown:  so what happens if you 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' ?09:28
Dr_Willisineptmofo:  yes. On my.. netbook ! :)09:28
jackbrownit take ages to update and upgrade09:28
newbiesorry for this misunderstanding guys09:28
richard123Hi, I have no sound at all on a new installlation onto an HP Pavillion machine, all the setting seem as they should be: anyone with the same experience?09:29

jackbrownlet's see what will happens09:29
spantherokay does somebody know what will be the next LTS? :)09:29
Dr_Willis!lts09:29
ubottuLTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04).  The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04)09:29
ineptmofoOn your netbook under the Files & Folders section09:29
ineptmofohow can i get it to show Filesystem under the Volumes section09:29
ineptmofo?09:29
stdiseasespanther, lucid lynx , it's alpha right now, #ubuntu+109:29
spanthernice! 10.04 is close :D09:29
Dr_Willisineptmofo:  i just put bookmarks to them in the file manager.09:30
ineptmofohow do you do that ?09:30
newbiearchboxman, so if its not "window manager" what should it be? "terminal manager"?09:30
spantherstdisease, okay09:30
theodoreany application for using dvbt usb tuner appart kaffeine????09:30
Slartspanther: yes.. upgrades between earlier (non-lts) versions sometimes didn't work as well as you might have wished.. but in my experience it's become better and better wich each new version.. I hope and expect the ubuntu people to really test the lts stuff.. including upgrades from earlier lts versions09:30
Dr_Willisineptmofo:  drag them over to the side bar.. or use the naiutulus bookmark manager dialogs09:30
archboxmannewbie: desktop enviroment09:30
Lcawteeww is there a simple LAMP installer?09:30
Dr_Willisnewbie:  you are using a window manager if you are using X and a GUI on Linux most likely. theres dozens of 'window maangers' you could be using.09:31
spantherSlart, yeah had issues with 6.04 to 6.10 too  hehe :) but that's far away past hehe09:31
icerootLcawte: sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 phpmyadmin09:31
theodoreIn kaffeine I do scanning, I found channels but, I get "Cannot find demultiplexer plugin for the given media data"09:31
Slartspanther: =)09:31
theodorewhat to do???09:31
ineptmofois the Nautilus bookmard manager installed by default ?09:31
Lcawteiceroot: I is ubuntu newbie, where do I type that?09:31
Dr_Willisnewbie:  a 'desktop' is a window manager + a set of apps to give a full featured work 'area' for you to do things in09:31
Dr_Willisineptmofo:  yes. its a feature of nautilus09:31
mneptokspanther: except there was no 6.04 ;)09:31
Dr_Willisineptmofo:  look in its menus09:31
meowbuntuDr_Willis, what are some of the os you have on your maintenance usb09:31
icerootLcawte: in a terminal  press ctrl + f2, type there gnome-terminal to open the terminal09:31
stdiseasetheodore, usually missing codecs or you're receiving garbled data from the network09:31
spanthermneptok, what?09:31
icerootLcawte: sorry alt + f209:32
Dr_Willismeowbuntu:  most all theones listed at that multidisrto.sh script site.09:32
archboxmannewbie: think of it this way windows manager = lot of setup  desktop enviroment = gui plus point and click like in windows09:32
mneptokspanther: Dapper Drake was 6.0609:32
spanthermneptok, oh come on 6.04 or 6.06 who cares :P09:32
theodorestdisease: how do I install codexes?09:32

newbieDr_Willis,  i will have a look there09:33
stdiseasetheodore, codecs, er, well you'll have to install them using an application like 'aptitude' or 'synaptic'09:33
mneptokspanther: perfectionists. but you don't want those types of people working on your LTS to LTS upgrade paths, do you?09:33

archboxmannewbie: go to google search xfce and select images gives you idea on desktop enviroment with limited resources usage09:35
stdiseasetheodore, I can't be sure, but use the search functions or look at kaffeine's dependency and see if there are any suggested packages that you haven't installed yet09:35
Dr_Willisjackbrown:  if the server has a bad/goofed up file.. well the server has a bad file. Try a diffrent server for archive.ubuntu.com09:35

Dr_Willismneptok:  your mileage may vary.. and i recall  things working then breaking badly in the last release alpha/beta/whatever testing.. so i do NOT SUGGEST upgradeing to 9.10   unless you want to work with a system that may break at any time09:37

Dr_Willismeowbuntu:  try right click -> extract.   i cant recall the last time i used a zip file.09:47
icerootnewbie: you can use dualboot or use virtualbox09:47
Dr_Willismeowbuntu:  or i use the command line. and the unp command09:47
icerootbrojericho: again, why you need a firewall?09:47
meowbuntu.zip are not linux formats09:47
mvampirebetter to configure iptables with text files. I mean You need to create (if not) some file like iptables.rules in /etc, then write your rules there, then apply rules using:09:47
mvampireiptables-restore /etc/iptables.rules09:47
SnowmanX11Is there any other way to copy files from NTFS (bad sectors) to clean formatted EXT3?09:47
newbiebut i do not have a dvd in my system, so can I do it with a usb memory?09:47
meowbuntuDr_Willis, i did it would not work09:47

fsufitchcould someone help me with a port forwarding problem? i'm trying to get port 9999 on a machine to forward to port 80 on another machine using iptables. the packets are getting to the second machine (as tcpdump says) but not to apache. ideas anyone?10:19
mvampireand now I'm using metacity10:19
mvampirebut I can go back to compiz10:19
jonihi10:19
chilicuilhow do I know if a package comes by default in ubuntu?10:19
ghoztfsufitch: can you connect to port 80 from a different machine?10:19
lauritzhave someone tried x-plane on ubuntu?10:20
mostafakvdhow to put a folder in the PATH environment?10:20
ghoztwithout having to go through the port forward machine?10:20
fsufitchghozt, i can connect to port 80 directly, yes10:20
ghoztso apache works?10:20
mostafakvdhow to put a folder in the PATH environment?10:20
orican someone help me get to #ubuntu through Empathy?10:20
fsufitchghozt, yup10:20
root51hello10:20
hannes815Slart: k, so now i found out there about a million different kinds of kernel possibilities, but i don't have a clue, which one to install (using sudo apt-get install and what the package name is)10:20
jonido you have mesenger10:20
fsufitchghozt, i also disabled ufw, on the second machine but that didnt help at all10:20
stdiseasefsufitch, how manu network interfaces you have and is apache listening on all of them?10:20
root51i install code weavers in my ubuntu karmic10:20
ghoztwhat about the return packets, are they getting natted back to 9999?10:20
orican someone help me get to #ubuntu through Empathy?10:21
Slarthannes815: you want a special kernel? or just the latest one?10:21
root51do u think the windows program is run  correctly under my ubuntu karmic10:21
fsufitchstdisease, how do i check which interfaces apache is listening on? this may be the problem since the forwarding is going through a VPN10:21
jonii am going10:21
LcawteDr_Willis: ok, I think I have the mc open.. but I dont quite get it..10:21
root51what do u think?10:21
ghoztfsufitch: netstat -tna | grep 8010:21
hannes815Slart: CalimeroTeknik: then you need the 2.6.32.810:21
mostafakvdhow to put a folder in the PATH environment?10:21
hannes815Slart: so i guess, this is the latest one=?10:22
Slarthannes815: if you want the latest one there is a thing called a meta package10:22
ghoztfsufitch: that will tell you that it's either listening on a specific ip address or all of them (0.0.0.0:80)10:22
lauritzi got a problem i used hamachi on linux to try communicate over lan with a friends hamachi... we can see each other but they still cant send package info cause tunneling issue10:22
orican someone help me get to #ubuntu through Empathy?10:22
fsufitchghozt, it's 0.0.0.0:8010:22
fsufitchthe only listen line is: tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN10:22
Slarthannes815: in this case.. if you install the package linux-image-generic  it will install the latest kernel.. and update to the latest when that comes out10:22
valarilauritz: hm... can u connect or ping the other host/10:23
ghoztfsufitch: then it's listening on all interfaces10:23
jackbrownenzotib: lo so che ti sto scocciando, non hai altri sugerimenti per me ?10:23
hannes815so how do i get this sudo apt-get linux-image-generic?10:23
valarilauritz: can u ping the other host?10:23
Slarthannes815: almost..  sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic10:23
fsufitchghozt, and i can reach port 80 of the second machine from the one that's forwarding using its internal VPN ip10:24
hannes815Slart: hehe.. well i'm trying hopefully i'll get it someday...10:24
orican someone help me get to #ubuntu through Empathy?10:24
Slarthannes815: apt-get can do lots of things with packages.. there's "remove", "install", "purge" and so on.. so you have to tell it to "install" the package10:24
Lcawtehow do I get myself root access?10:24

Fudgehi, having problems with orca, believe a box come up saying its marked as untrusted. dont know how to trust it over ssh since i can not use orca now10:25

Lcawtesorry caps10:27
Dr_Willis its 'mc' :)10:27

Dr_Willisand mc has a nice little fancy file maanger interface you can use over ssh, or console or other places10:27

hannes815Slart: i'm trying to get a dual-head with intel chipset and compiz set up10:28
Lcawteyes I do10:28
Slarthannes815: ok, and it's not working? and you need a newer kernel version?10:28
Seveashannes815, there's a good chance of that not working. Which intel chipset?10:28
fsufitchghozt, this is on the machine inside the vpn, or the one with external access?10:28
hannes815Slart: that's what they told me over at #compiz10:28
LcawteDr_Willis: But if I go into my var/www file I still dont get anything other than a permissions error10:28
Slarthannes815: hmm.. do you know what kernel version you need?10:28
hannes815Seveas: i945 i think10:28
ghoztfsufitch: sorry misread your question. if the apache machine can talk to the forwarding machine then i don't think so. what is it's dedfault gateway?10:29
Lcawteoh wait hang on10:29
hannes815Slart: CalimeroTeknik: then you need the 2.6.32.810:29
Dr_WillisLcawte:  if you run 'sudo mc' you should be able to move/delete anything with the mc file manager thats running10:29
hannes815Slart: that one10:29
Seveashannes815, most intel chipsets (or their drivers) can't handle pixmaps large enough for a dual-head compuiz setup.10:29
valarihannes815: intel chipset which one do a dmesg to find out10:29
ingwartest10:29
ghoztfsufitch: can you explain how the vpn fits into the picture?10:29
LcawteDr_Willis: I was using it wrong, I was tryping in the numbers insted of clicking xD10:29
Dr_WillisLcawte:  use the F keys10:30
hannes815valari: dmesg?10:30
Slarthannes815: hmm.. well.. the easy way is to wait until 10.04 comes out.. it's probably got a newer kernel version..10:30
Dr_WillisF1 = first button, F6 = 6th item10:30
Slarthannes815: but that's two months away10:30
valarihannes815:dmseg srry :)10:30
Seveashannes815, you shouldn't be running a lucid kernel in a karmic system. That's going to be problematic. If you have a spare disk/partition try out lucid alpha and see if it works10:30
hannes815Slart; im starting to thing so too...10:30
fsufitchghozt, the two machines are on the same VPN (using OpenVPN). the forwarding machine is the server, and the apache machine is a client. the requests come in to the forwarding machine via eth0, and need to be forwarded over tap0 to the other machine10:30

fsufitchghozt, oh, it shows some 128.x.x.x ip from inside my college's network10:39
fsufitchghozt, there are two lines with UG flags. the other one has default gateway of 172.16.0.1, which is my VPN server10:39
s0me_0ne_i'm sorry my question but i install ubuntu and dont comes the recovery mode and the mem test ... when i boot and there is nathing in the grub i'm using karmic10:40
ghoztfsufitch: would the machine with that IP address know about the forwarding machine?10:40
ghoztfsufitch: ignore my last question10:40
fsufitchghozt, yeah, they're 172.16.0.1 and 172.16.0.2 respectively :)10:40
ikonias0me_0ne_: what do you mean there is nothing in grub ?10:40
LcawteWhere's firefox stored... it wants something to open a phtml file10:41
valarihannes815: i would not recommend this (its not possible to use 2 moniters with compiz on! on 945GM) and with 2 moniters it will be an extended desktop10:41
TrOuChArDje passe vite fait dire un petit coucou à tous les français10:41

Dr_WillisHmm/ My netbook can handle compiz and  2 monitors I think. :) but I may be wrong...10:41
Lcawtehm... something on localhost10:41
ghoztfsufitch: what's the destination associated with the 172.16.0.1 gateway?10:41
fsufitchghozt, 172.16.0.010:42
valariDr_willis: depends on hardware10:42
hannes815valari: hmm.. would've been nice.. well do you know another possibility: my real problem is that i have the cairo dock running, and there's no real transparency, so it kinda hides behind windows, and stuff that's supposed to be transparent just looks ugly. is there another possibility like xcompmgr?10:42

* Rirto6 replaces Lcawte's nail with a desk10:45
ghoztfsufitch: that makes sense. what is happening is that the packet is hitting the apache box and the apache box is sending the response to the default gateway which is the 128.x.x.x address10:45
hannes815valari: what's wrong with the cairo dock?10:45
fsufitchghozt, or rather, its net name10:45

ciunixwhen I try to install ubuntu the system is blocking. The log says that there is a problem in the resizing13:07
ciunixof partititions13:07
llutzV4mpire: for linux system you should prefer tools like rsync/tar. faster, no hd-space wasting, more flexible13:07
ubuntufreakciunix: i think there won't be any issue in installing in the free partition, just select the free partition while installing13:07
ikoniaciunix: you need to have unallocated space to re-size13:07
ciunixthere's an unallocated space13:07
Dr_Willisciunix:  if the 3rd partition is 'empty' you can  delete it soits unallocated and the installer can partion/use the unallocated space automatically - no need to resize13:08

V4mpirellutz, the hdd the data will be coming off isn't 10gb to begin with13:10
airtonixarchboxman, or does clonezilla not provide the option to generate a cd/dvd image that is bootable for the purposes of a seelf contained restore solution13:11
archboxmanairtonix: where is there a hand book that explains this is a wrong solution,, I can think of probably 2 or 3 more solutions that are out side the box for backup linux13:11
airtonixarchboxman, thats not my question... just wondering if clonezilla does eactly the same things as nortons ghost13:11
llutzV4mpire: i just wanted to show you different ways to do you task. use whatever you like, but don't ask others if you don't like the answers13:12
V4mpireahh i just want to avoid doing an install etc aswell  as had enough trouble getting this system to do it so with a full image it will be there ready13:13
ichatwhoootz - iz haz got it installed LOL13:13
airtonixarchboxman, i mean because i like how nortons ghost allows you to dump the resulting hdd image dump into an iso that is merged with its bootable image so you can have the hdd image on the same iso as the recovery image.13:13
archboxmanairtonix: yes clonezilla is said to do the same as nortons ghost and partition image... never used clonezilla sorry can't give you full specs..13:13

archboxmanairtonix: seeing is how the iomega drive uses a usb 2.0 interface .... I'm going with an external drive that has 3.0 usb speeds of transfering files...13:20
mactimesV4mpire: Because it takes too much time to complete backups and you won't be able to schedule them in regular periods, you'd have to run them manually, etc., etc.13:20

dsnydersobscurant1st, you could use lvm, and consider them as a single logical volume.16:27
stdiseaseThreetimes, I couldn't understand the language of that post, try running with LANG=en_US environment variable set16:27
herberomy files are not showing up in .home16:27
falstaffhow can i change mount options when i click on a luks device in nautilus?16:27

shaullxdsnyders i just don't understand how is it that i need to download 700mb version of ubuntu while wubi does it in a "floopy" size and it's the same16:31
ori_http://paste.ubuntu.com/381053/16:31
Threetimesstdisease: C works: http://pastebin.com/f593ca42c16:32
jribshaullx: obviously wubi downloads more during the install16:32
jrib!minimal | shaullx16:32
ubottushaullx: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD16:32
meganerdobscurant1st: fdisk is just for partitions, ntfs and ext3/4 are file systems16:32

obscurant1sthttp://pastie.org/835500 can i fix this from linux live cd by any means, czo i dont hv any windows cd right now16:32
phrix!OpenIMSCore16:32
jribori_: did you test a cd yet?16:32
obscurant1stmeganerd, oh,k16:33
dsnydersshaullx, just because you have a CD image, doesn't mean it's full.  You could have a lot of blank space in that 700M of data.16:33
shaullxjrib how does it downloads during install if im not online during the install?16:33
ori_jrib: yeah. put it back in16:33
ori_jrib: no srry16:33
ori_jrib: im gonna do that now16:33
stdiseaseThreetimes, huh, well, try 'sudo dpkg --force-overwrite --configure -a'16:33
stdiseaseThreetimes, OR..16:33
jribshaullx: it's impossible that you get ubuntu installed from a floppy's worth of data16:34
stdiseaseThreetimes, move the old libdri.so to libdri.so.old and retry16:34
jribshaullx: what's your actual question?16:34
ori_jrib: ok, cds work16:34
shaullxjrib if you have windows installed try downloading wubi u'll see what i mean16:34
Threetimesstdisease: The first thing didn't help, i'll move libdri.so16:34
jribori_: try the dvd now16:34
philsfcan someone please help me debug a problem in my usb stack? I can't mount or use any USB device. This is what appears in kern.log when I plug a pendrive (that works on other ubuntu boxes)  http://pastebin.com/f489fcdd0 . This is a karmic up to date netbook, and it used to work16:34
dsnydersshaullx, It's just easier for most folk to download and burn an image than to download the actual files and then create/burn a bootable cd.16:34
shaullxjrib the question is if the wubi version is fine and should work fine16:34
stdiseaseThreetimes, try --force-all ; or see man dpkg16:35
shaullxlike the cd one that weights alot more16:35
jribshaullx: read the faq on wubi's site for potential issues.  "fine" is relative.  It works well enough for most people, but read the warnings on wubi's site16:35
shaullxi dont need it to be 100% i just need to run wine on it to test something16:35

peleg_Help! this is serious: anytime after I ssh into something, my ubuntu is 100% stuck. That is, I can't do anything -- not alt-tab, not ctrl-c, not ctrl-\, nothing... All I can do is alt-ctrl-F2 (for example) to run irssi and talk to you.18:29

blakkheimmadjoe: then you have to compile it18:36
Trekpeleg_: do you have an open port on your ssh server?18:36
ikoniamadjoe: ok - so you'd have to build it yourself from scratch, which I'd advise against as it will break compatibility with ubuntu packages in future18:36
sundarWindows Vista earns me every time because my Bluetooth mouse works there! Ubuntu just says adding the device failed... Too bad because I really want to try ubuntu more...18:36

Nitsugamtslash, check if your hostname in /etc/hostame matches with the one in /etc/hosts18:48
FoolishOwlphrix, it's a GUI application for MySQL, sort of like an IDE. It's not in the Ubuntu repositories, and you'd want to go through the tutorials. It's easier than the mysql client in some ways, harder in others.18:49

peleggsgleason, any idea what can pop-up that window, and why does it not pop-up when I move .ssh as you suggested?18:59
gsgleasonpeleg: it depends on what's in the .ssh dir.19:00
peleggsgleason, hey, I have removed one unknown file, and it looks like it works now! :)19:02

peleggsgleason, that's weird; now it does not even asks for a password when I ssh; it looks like it remembers it somehow..?19:03
gsgleasonpeleg, that's what you're public keys are probably doing for you.19:04
boblyAny idea on whether an upgrade from 9.10 Server to 10.4 Server will be as easy as simply starting the upgrade through a content manager or will the change from aptitude to Ubuntu Software Center mean a clean install is recommended?19:04
gsgleasonpeleg: ssh -v will sho wyou19:04
gsgleasonbobly: I have never had a successful ubuntu dist upgrade19:05
chetnickneither did i.19:05
peleggsgleason, that's nice, but it wasn't like that in the last 2.5 years :) -- well, this is probably the relevant verbose line: "debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey"19:05
gsgleasonpeleg, here is wha19:05
gsgleasonoops19:06

blakkheimWilliWaller: karmic uses grub219:15
blakkheimWilliWaller: did you upgrade to karmic or do a clean install of it?19:16
fccfGene1: You have setup a seperate home... which means the operating system is on the 15gig, which means your home folder is larger ... see how much space there is in the home folder... minus swap should be around 60 gigs, theoritically19:16
mneptokWilliWaller: Karmic uses GRUB2, which does not use the same config layout. poke around /etc19:16
WilliWallerblakkheim, clean install19:16

loopsjonathan_, you need to use pastebin ;o)19:54

loopska0tic, yes, but Linux doesn't use the BIOS for accessing hard drive.19:54
loopska0tic, linux has its own drivers and completely ignores BIOS on this matter19:54
jonathan_i can't find vnc-e depends on libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.4-1)19:54

alankilaikonia: well, I've never had a successful grub2 install to md0, it generally comes up with "no device mapping for md0" or similar. Trying to use the separate disks seems to be out of question, maybe because md reserves the devices and doesn't allow access to the underlying partitions, or something. I'm guessing.20:38

slackguruikonia, I have made it clear that I am aware of the launchpad bug report process, I am also going to make it clear that I know how to reference apparently non-related bugs in my comments on existing bug reports, but so far, none of the bug reports are closely related to me because the only thing I find in common with most of the reports is that I am running karmic koala. This means that I may have an unrelated issue. If that is the case,20:46
slackguru I need to find someone willing to work with me because I do not operate at the speed of launchpad, I am much quicker. Call it impatient if you will I refer to it as proactive. Most people, like yourself, live reactively and frankly I don't appreciate it. I am sure that I speak for others if you treat everyone as you have treated me. Now, with no attitude whatsoever, I would appreciate it if you do not respond to this if you are unwillin20:46
slackgurug to brainstorm with me some possible solutions to the problem I am having, offering insight to things I may have overlooked. If you want to work with me in that capacity, a response would be appreciated, otherwise, you can keep your remaining two cents.20:46

alankilaKnowTheLedge: lucid seems to finally do this automatically, or at least the server install of 10.04 I did today happened to have autodetected existing raid arrays. Finally.20:49
ikoniaslackguru: the chances are if there are no sensors for lm_sensors for your board and they are just running at full pelt all the time - that's the problem it can't detect when it is hot/cold, if there are no bugs logged that are you actual problem, log one so that others know it's a problem, but I suspect you'll need to interact with with the lmsensors maintainers to see if they can sort some sort of sensor config for it, or the apm guys in the kernel, bu20:49

Antisocheblackstar_, Once you've gotten that, check the web for a way to make it permanent using udev.  Based on the model number, etc, you can write a udev rule to give it a fixed name like "/dev/3g" or whatever.21:06

grumblySealedWithAKiss: apt is package management21:08
linxehYounder: sounds like you could do with zfs or some thing21:08
SealedWithAKissAntisoche, what's the deal? Have I deleted my kernel?21:08
slackguruikonia, that link sounds identicle to mine with the exception that we know not the OS involved. I read the thread and it appears it has no solution posted.21:08
grumblySealedWithAKiss: from gnome, you can use synaptic21:08
pflanzegigawatt: there's also sshfs21:08
AntisocheSealedWithAKiss, it seems unlikely; I'm trying to understand what grumbly is working towards.21:08
guntbertgigawatt: that depends - but in any case you can use it from your local station and access the remote host21:09
SwedeMikePyroPhelia: look into chmod, Sticky-bit might solve this for you.21:09
ikoniaYounder: ok, so bascially when you setup the array, you need to make sure you do a --spare-device=1 for each array, and make sure you specify the same spare device per cluster of arrays. You may also want to look at something like zfs that actually does disk pooling exactly as you want21:09
grumblyAntisoche: no, i dont think that- but I think maybe it's written to a bad spot on the drive21:09

AntisocheSealedWithAKiss, So basically, the way the computer boots is that there is a boor loader; generally GRUB these days in the linux world.  The boot loader knows where the kernel is and loads it.  The kernel, though, puts most of its drivers into a ramdisk, including the driver for the hard drive.  The boot loader makes the ramdisk available to the kernel so if can talk to the disk and mount the root filesystem.  Got all that?21:20

AntisocheSealedWithAKiss, When you install a new device driver, often times the ramdisk gets regenerated.  If this fails because the disk is full, or whatever, you're going to have problems.21:21

blakkheimrservers: 8.04 is old, so the packages will be old21:22

blakkheimCrell: i said nothing of the sort21:22
AntisocheSealedWithAKiss, So, from your live CD, you can poke around on the hard drive and find your kernel and ramdisk.  These are usually available from the root filesystem as /vmluinuz and /initrd.img21:22

NCS_Oneguntbert, I just installed ubuntu and its the first movie I trying to see on it, and I think its the movie sound thats ruined :(21:23
Crellblakkheim: I shall revise my inquiry then.  Can anyone recommend a good GUI vpn client for (K)Ubuntu besides network-manager?21:23
guntbertNCS_One: good explanation :)21:24
ActionParsnipDist`, if  what you have works, keep it21:24
NCS_Oneguntbert, going to check it on another PC21:24
AntisocheSealedWithAKiss, There is also usually a backup of each of these (.old).  To make it difficult, the files are really there, what those files are are symlinks.  The files are typically put into /boot, which is a small partition at the beginning of the disk because some computer BIOSes (the thing that boots the computer) are too old to read too far into the bigger disks.21:24

AntisocheSealedWithAKiss, So, having said that -- what you need to do is give GRUB a good kernel and good ramdisk to boot your computer.21:25
jpapertowelokay so I used software raid to create a 100 MB RAID1 ext4 /boot partition, a 1.5 TB RAID0 ext4 / partition, and a 4 GB swap partition - now I go to install grub and it fails...what command should I be using to install grub?21:25
SealedWithAKissAntisoche, well my BIOS is the most up to date version.21:26
AntisocheSealedWithAKiss, Fortunately, GRUB has an interactive menu that you can use to help you troubleshoot.  From your mounted partition, copy down the filenames of all the 'vmlinuz' and 'initrd.img' files you have.21:26
=== Iyunkateus is now known as aihunkatihys
AntisocheSealedWithAKiss, It doesn't matter how new _your_ machine is.  Software has to deal with this cruft almost forever.21:27
Slartshaullx: it seems the acer aspire d250 should work out of the box with 9.10. At least according to this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1141529&page=12 . You could try using plain alsa if its pulseaudio that is messing things up.. pastebins of "cat /proc/asound/cards" might be useful as well21:28
AntisocheSealedWithAKiss, So - you should know what your root filesystem is (/dev/sda?) and the smaller /boot filesystem (which sounds like /dev/sda7).21:28
happyhessian__essentially, my network is characterized by giving me the correct download speed according to speedtest but working really really slowly whenever it has to load pages, taking forever to run host <website> if it wasn't recently accessed and cutting off large (>5MB) downloads in the middle.  i turned off ipv6 according to what i saw on the forums, though it doesn't seem to have made much of a difference (should it have, really?)  i'm going a little21:28
happyhessian__ crazy, especially as i don't know of any way to downgrade back to my old system...21:28
SealedWithAKissAntisoche, vmlinuz and initrd have two versions. They both have a 31-14 and a 31-19 versison.21:29
AntisocheSealedWithAKiss, In my /boot, I have 'vmlinuz' 2.6.28-15, 2.6.31-18 and 2.6.31-20.  Each of these has their own initrd21:29
happyhessian__i've been using one sort of k/ubuntu for several years already and i've never had a problem like this21:29
ActionParsniphappyhessian_, try adding 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4  in your DNS list, it may speed stuff up21:29
grumblyhappyhessian_:that may make things bad too.21:30
SealedWithAKissAntisoche, so I have vmlinuz 2.6.31-14/1921:30
ActionParsniphappyhessian_, you can also install and configure dnsmasq to keep the most dns resolves local21:30
grumblyhappyhessian__: what browser are you using?21:30
AntisocheSealedWithAKiss, Ok, good.  From your GRUB boot menu, you should be able to select the -14 revision of the 2.6.31 kernel and it'll just boot normally, with the slightly older kernel and no new driver.21:30
SealedWithAKissAntisoche, how will I do that?21:30
grumblySealedWithAKiss: that is a much easier way of doing what I suggested21:30
grumblyor tried to suggest21:30
AntisocheSealedWithAKiss, At boot, the menu should give you an option for each.  You just pick it.21:31
SealedWithAKissAntisoche, use 'e' to edit when GRUB loads? And then change 31-19 to 31-14?21:31
SealedWithAKissAntisoche, ohh okay then.21:31
AntisocheSealedWithAKiss, If that doesn't happen, yes, you can use 'e' to edit it.21:31
SealedWithAKissAntisoche, I'll give that a shot now then.21:32

Antisochebenoit__, The alternative is to first remove postgres with the --purge option, but that'll also wipe out your databases, which I doubt you want to do.22:03

SealedWithAKissgrumbly, now what I mean?22:06
Red_HamsterXrblst, that's likely because your Master Boot Record (MBR) points at the old partition, which no longer matches what should be there.22:06

edqnagNewWorld yes my default desktop was gnome and i dont know what happend that when i restarted i had KDE desktop ON22:36
blakkheimSprocket: studio is just a set of packages/themes/icons that are applied to regular ubuntu22:36
Antisochegrumbly, SealedWithAKiss: Try: sudo blkid | tee ~/blocklist22:36

hwrdprknshas anyone seen that before?22:37
AntisocheSealedWithAKiss, Now the file ~/blocklist has all the device ids.  You can read this into the file you are editing22:37
Red_HamsterXSledge, XQDE might be like what you want, but it's KDE-based and if you're not using Kubuntu, you'd have to play with some OS stuff to make the switch. (It's a good way to learn about how Ubuntu is set up if you're willing to nuke everything when done)22:37

NewWorldedqnag:  Okay you have to find an executable file called 'networkmanager'. Commands: 'sudo updatedb' 'locate networkmanager'. Then 'gksudo [path to networkmanager] start'. Else do the same but instead of 'networkmanager' replace with 'nm-applet'.22:41

iKsHey, I have a strange problem: the RAM used keeps growing (I am at like 1.1G now) but when I use System Monitor or top the compounded RAM usage is much less, around 370MB. I don't understand what programm is using the memory.. Any help/idea?23:12
neil_dI am trying to get xen kernel for 9.10 (karmic)... but there seems to be no package for the kernel... do I just use the server kernel?   what do I do with the /boot/xen-3.3 binary?23:12
parkerlreedHow do I get to Grub options in Ubuntu?23:12
elliotjhugori, no - its my fault, followed some outdated instructions without checking - can you follow the same process with this file instead: http://mp3support.sandisk.com/firmware/clip/clip02.01.32.zip23:12
Jordan_USealedWithAKiss, Ok, best thing to do would be to find a windows install CD, failing that, can you be on IRC on a different computer while this one is in grub ( if so it'll be faster than rebooting every time you need to try something else )23:13
Jordan_U?23:13
jpapertowelhi guys, anyone here know about grub2 AND software raid? is it possible, because I don't believe it is.23:13
orielliotjhug: and do the same thing...? including deletingthe older file...23:13
ActionParsnipiks: ram gets used as disk cache to improve speed, unused ram is wasted ram23:13
Jordan_Ujpapertowel, It is23:13
iKsparkerlreed, /boot/grub/menu.lst23:13
iKsActionParsnip,23:14
elliotjhugori, yup - delete the older file from the device, and transfer the unzipped firmware file - then disconnect, let it restart, then tell me the firmware ver23:14
iKsActionParsnip, I'm not taking the cache into account here23:14
iKsonly "memory used by programs"23:14
Jordan_Uparkerlreed, Hold shift at boot to see the menu23:14
orielliotjhug: without actually upluggingright?23:14
arandabel: if you would rather have support in you language there are local channels available.. what language?23:14
iKsActionParsnip, ie 38% of 3GB23:14
elliotjhugori, don't unplug until the file is transferrred - THEN unplug it23:14
jpapertowelhi guys, anyone here know about grub2 AND software raid? is it possible, because Jordan_U says it is and no one wants to tell me how23:14
SealedWithAKissJordan_U, I only have a single machine. I don't have a Vista CD either, just a Windows 7 CD I think...23:15
ActionParsnipiks: then in top the largest ram consumer will be at the top23:15
parkerlreedI'm not wanting to change the list items, I want to get back to the screen that let me download the other versions or experimental versions.23:15
elliotjhugori, I'll be afk for 30secs one mo23:15
orielliotjhug: ok, it says firmware upgrade in progress... upgradecomplete23:15
DrDamnitHelllooooo...... my server file system has suddenly made mention it is "read only". How do I check if it is read only?23:15
ActionParsnipjpapertowel, you can use grub1 still if you like23:15
iKsActionParsnip, Xorg, with a whopping 2.2%23:15
elliotjhugori, great :) thats what we wanted to happen23:15
neil_djpapertowel: I am using it.. but I didn't need to set it up.. I used the alt. disk to install.23:15
Jordan_Ujpapertowel, As long as you are using mdraid metadata format <= .09 you should be able to just use "grub-install /dev/md0"23:15
ActionParsnipDrDamnit, run: mount23:15
elliotjhugori now try plugging it in23:16
iKsActionParsnip, it doesn't seem to add up at all23:16
elliotjhugori without the 'hold'23:16
Jordan_Ujpapertowel, s/0.09/0.9/23:16
orielliotjhug: hahaha u did it!23:16
iKsActionParsnip, also, no memory seems to be freed when I close a program23:16
jpapertowelJordan_U: error: no mapping exists for `md0'23:16
ActionParsnipiks: is the system slow?23:16
parkerlreedAny help?23:17
iKsActionParsnip, now it is not but before I just rebooted I had ~90% memory used and it was damn slow23:17
DrDamniteverything appears to be rw. But when changing permissions of my php.ini file, I got: root@backup01:/etc/php5/apache2# chmod +w php.ini23:17

elliotjhugori, working properly? awesome, if its detected as a usb stick do the steps described here:  http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=clip&message.id=2803 otherwise rock on :)23:17
Jordan_Ujpapertowel, What version of grub2? ( I assume the one from karmic, 1.97 beta 4 )23:17

elliotjhugori happy to help23:18
Jordan_Ujpapertowel, Ok, so you are using lucid?23:18
AntisocheSealedWithAKiss, Jordan_U: I don't know what JordanU is going for, but if yout NTFS partition is really bad off, the Linux driver may not be able to recognize it.    A Windows 7 CD should be able to fix a Vista partition.  However, try this first:  sudo file -s /dev/sda1 | pastebinit23:18
jpapertowelJordan_U: no, i'm using debian sid but I figured I could leech off your support channel because debian's support channel doesn't know anything about grub2 and software raid23:19

ActionParsnipneil_d, run: sudo lshw -C sound; lspci | grep -i audio     will tell you what it is, you can websearch for guides23:22
Jfuzineil_d, also make sure you have the volume turned up from upper right corner, by default it is set to zero23:23
