[00:00] <ralf_> so i right click on desktop creat a launcher ..anyone know the command?
[00:00] <pfred1> Typos_King yes the -f switch
[00:00] <ikonia> wizard00: correct
[00:00] <ikonia> pfred1: that version is newer than the one you need, so I'm not sure what the problem is ?
[00:00] <wizard00> thank you very much!!! :)
[00:00] <wizard00> ubuntu rocks though ;)
[00:00] <pfred1> ikonia Package `libgtk2.0-dev' is not installed and no info is available.
[00:00] <histo> wizard00: no
[00:00] <hellburner> is there a simple way to install a newer version of wine?  the one in karmic is old
[00:00] <ralf_> this will be a brilliant help and i d be blogging about it just want my neighbour on net
[00:00] <kla> ralf_, command to do what, exactly?
[00:00] <histo> wizard00: you can install software on 8.04
[00:00] <ikonia> pfred1: ok so what's stopping you installing it ?
[00:00] <pfred1> ikonia what part of 'it won't install" are you having difficulties understanding?
[00:01] <Typos_King> wizard00.... I don't think so, depends on what you want to install for that matter, 8.x is still supported anyway
[00:01] <jumar> ralf_ the first thing you do on the desktop is right-click, create laucher, set an icon, set a command, and it should work, but i just dont know the command right now, so we gotta ask someone
[00:01] <ikonia> pfred1: you're not telling me why it won't install, error message for example
[00:01] <pfred1> ikonia I guess Ubuntu's broken package manager is the problem!
[00:01] <ikonia> pfred1: I don't think it's broken at all
[00:01] <ikonia> pfred1: could you explain the error you're having
[00:01] <ralf_> thanks jumar I will try and look it up on google .. i did try but i will give it another go
[00:01] <histo> jumar: what do are you trying to do?
[00:02] <daniskami> ralf_: try gnome-session-save --logout
[00:02] <histo> ralf_: what are you trying to do?
[00:02] <wizard00> ok. sweet. im a newb. should i dual-boot ubuntu5 and ubuntu 8?
[00:02] <pfred1> ikonia if I issue the command sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev and I get the message libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.18.3-1) but 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 is to be installed I see a problem
[00:02] <Typos_King> pfred1     don't think is the package manager, is the fact you're trying to install an older app which requires such lib, and the newer in place conflicts with it, is an app version issue
[00:02] <histo> wizard00: why would you do that?
[00:02] <wizard00> idk.
[00:02] <histo> wizard00: What are you trying to accomplish?
[00:02] <ikonia> !info libgtk2.0-0
[00:02] <wizard00> nothing
[00:02] <ikonia> !info libgtk2.0-dev
[00:02] <jumar> oh, nothing, trying to help ralf_ for a gnome-session commandline version what out of he can make a shutdown button on the desktop
[00:02] <kla> wizard00, if you have no reason to dual boot, just install fresh
[00:02] <histo> wizard00: okay are you just trolling then or do you have a question.
[00:02] <wizard00> i just heard that linux is for advanced users only
[00:03] <histo> wizard00: nope
[00:03] <histo> wizard00: you said you were using 8.04?
[00:03] <ikonia> pfred1: just installed it - it works fine, so the problem is either a.) you've not done an sudo apt-get update first b.) you've put additional repos in that create a conflict
[00:03] <jumar> he's started googling, but i must go, please histo help him, i dont have gnome-session installed, thanks bye!
[00:03] <wizard00> using 5.10
[00:03] <daniskami> jumar: ralf_: gnome-session-save --logout
[00:03] <ikonia> wizard00: you said 4 earlier
[00:03] <Typos_King> ikonia in 9.1?
[00:03] <histo> jumar: me neither I don't knwo what he is trying to do
[00:03] <pfred1> ikonia OK so I need to remove repos then?
[00:03] <jumar> ralf_ daniskami got it check it out
[00:03] <histo> daniskami: you'll prolly have to send ralf a pm since he left
[00:03] <wizard00> oh. srry im using 5. there a difference?
[00:03] <ikonia> pfred1: depends, do you have additional repo's ?
[00:04] <pfred1> ikonia heck if I know
[00:04] <histo> wizard00: there is in 5
[00:04] <jumar> histo make a launcher for the desktop for shuting down the machine
[00:04] <ikonia> pfred1: could you pastebin your sources.list ?
[00:04] <jumar> gotta go, bye
[00:04] <ikonia> pfred1: try a sudo apt-get update first though,
[00:04] <pfred1> ikonia if I knew where to find it
[00:04] <histo> jumar: ahh yeah daniskami has it.
[00:04] <wizard00> so i cant install software. it says its unavailable
[00:04] <ikonia> pfred1: /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:04] <pfred1> ikonia did that over an hour ago
[00:04] <ikonia> wizard00: no, the distro is dead, end of lifve
[00:04] <histo> wizard00: what says unavailible?
[00:04] <ikonia> pfred1: I haven't seen it
[00:04] <pfred1> ikonia must be why i told you
[00:04] <histo> wizard00: yeah the repositories aren't there any more.
[00:04] <daniskami> histo: bad luck ;)
[00:04] <kla> wizard00, no wonder. Just use a CD.
[00:05] <wizard00> Audacity. (audio editing soft)
[00:05] <Typos_King> ....
[00:05] <histo> wizard00: you can move your home to a seperate parition then install fresh and all your documents and stuff would be there.
[00:05] <ikonia> pfred1: ok - so pastebin your sources.list as that must be the only other answer
[00:05] <Typos_King> wizard0   can't install anything in 8.x?
[00:05] <pfred1> ikonia ok sec
[00:05] <Cristobal> dog white
[00:05] <wizard00> idk how to do that
[00:05] <histo> Typos_King: no he says he's running 5 now
[00:05] <ikonia> Cristobal: stop please
[00:05] <Typos_King> IIRC is still supported and the repos are still there
[00:05] <ikonia> Cristobal: I've told you the rules of this channel
[00:05] <Typos_King> 5?
[00:05] <histo> Typos_King: begining to think he is a troll
[00:05] <Typos_King> holy!    that's ..... rather oldie
[00:05] <Cristobal> persian canarian
[00:07] <kla> So later all :)
[00:07] <pfred1> ikonia http://pastebin.com/0z1U7LSy
[00:08] <ikonia> pfred1: that looks perfect,
[00:08] <rmatte> aha, finally got automounting working, needed to install halevt and use hal-mount once on the device, now it automounts it
[00:09] <Typos_King> halevt....
[00:09] <pfred1> ikonia I sort of wished there was a problem because I'm no closer to a solution to not being able to install the dev package i need here
[00:09] <ikonia> pfred1: when you do a "sudo apt-get update" what happens ?
[00:10] <pfred1> ikonia let me run it again I don't remember anything important happening really
[00:10] <Guitch> Bonsoir!
[00:11] <randomusr> what software will allow me to get my laptop's webcam working?
[00:11] <ikonia> !webcam | randomusr
[00:11] <Typos_King> !fr | Guitch
[00:11] <pfred1> ikonia ikonia http://pastebin.com/0HeVYq0S
[00:12] <ikonia> pfred1: interesting, I don't think you've given me a compelte sources.list as apt-get update is checking medibuntu - but you've not got that listed in sources.list
[00:13] <pfred1> ikonia I pasted what i found
[00:13] <ikonia> pfred1: any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d ?
[00:14] <ZykoticK9> ikonia, medibuntu installs into (you got it) sources.list.d
[00:14] <pfred1> ikonia medibuntu.list
[00:14] <ikonia> pfred1: comment out the deb lines in that file, and then re-run apt-get update
[00:14] <bliffle> Ubuntu 9.10, Thinkpad X60s, no audio, but audio OK on the XP partition. What's up?
[00:14] <ikonia> I doubt its medibuntu - but that's all I can see
[00:16] <Typos_King> I have the file.... for that lib, and I don't think it came from the medibuntu site
[00:16] <ikonia> Typos_King: I agree
[00:16] <Typos_King> pfred1.... got a site I can upload... or email....if that's all you need
[00:16] <ikonia> Typos_King: however that is the only external repo, and I've just checked us.archive.ubuntu.com and it's serving the correct versions
[00:17] <pfred1> ikonia it was a little different but libgtk2.0-dev still errors out
[00:17] <ikonia> pfred1: what stood out as different ?
[00:17] <duffydack> !grub
[00:17] <pfred1> ikonia update took a little longer
[00:18] <pfred1> ikonia I still get E: Broken packages
[00:18] <ikonia> pfred1: which package is it complaining is broke ?
[00:18] <pfred1> ikonia   libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.18.3-1) but 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
[00:18] <randomusr> ikonia: thank you!
[00:19] <pfred1> ikonia its just not accepting 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 as a dep for (= 2.18.3-1)
[00:19] <ikonia> pfred1: do a "apt-cache policy libgtk2.0-0" - please pastebin the output
[00:19] <pfred1> ikonia OK
[00:20] <pfred1> ikonia http://pastebin.com/px4VwCnv
[00:20] <ikonia> pfred1: which is totally right
[00:20] <pfred1> ikonia yes
[00:20] <ikonia> pfred1: ok - I wonder, last ditch attempt
[00:21] <nutz> hi all
[00:21] <ikonia> pfred1: cd /var/cache/apt/archives
[00:21] <pfred1> ikonia usually i just synaptic stuff but this I'd like the latest version if I can get it
[00:21] <pedahzur> Having trouble with an Ubuntu Net install here. Everything set up fine (including the LVM), but the grub install is failing with "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device."  Advice from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=504678 helped a little: I was able to copy the needed files into /boot, but the find command still says file not found even though 'ls' says otherwise. help?
[00:21] <Guest26478> Como troca o nick sem precisar sair... ?
[00:21] <ikonia> pfred1: synaptic is the best option, it's stable / compatible packages, but lets see if we can fix this
[00:22] <pfred1> ikonia dang do I need all these deb files?
[00:22] <nutz> i've got problem with wireless (rt61pci) and it's supposed to be kernel-related. so i'm wondering: now that 2.6.33 is out - how long is it gonna take until it's gonna be used in ubuntu?
[00:22] <ikonia> pfred1: no - remove them all
[00:22] <pfred1> ikonia with pleasure!
[00:22] <ikonia> nutz: it will be in lucid
[00:22] <bun_bun> Typos_King: how do I get the "acpi-off" to become permanent?
[00:22] <nutz> ikonia: oh.. so probably no fix for my rt61pci problem until april
[00:22] <pfred1> ikonia eeww what is a "partial" directory?
[00:22] <ikonia> nutz: no kernel changes to 9.10
[00:23] <ikonia> pfred1: in what respect ?
[00:23] <Out_Cold> can i use grep to ignore strings? possibly multiple strings?
[00:23] <nutz> ikonia: okay, thanks
[00:23] <pfred1> ikonia inside of /var/cache/apt/archives
[00:23] <pfred1> ikonia this is a complete mess!
[00:23] <ikonia> pfred1: sudo rm -rf *
[00:23] <pfred1> ikonia done
[00:23] <nutz> ikonia: i'm gonna build my own kernel then, i guess - i found two guides help.ubuntu.. and wiki.ubuntu.. is one of them recommended?
[00:23] <Typos_King> bun_bun:    <kla> bun_bun, you edit /etc/default/grub  with your custom command-line options and then run update-grub2
[00:23] <pfred1> ikonia there was even a lock file in there too
[00:23] <ikonia> pfred1: ok , one more thing
[00:24] <ikonia> pfred1: yeah, that's a bit messy, but we can fix that
[00:24] <acu> I have a single partition - I want to backup the entire system and restore it in another hard disk - a mirror - what is the best and easiest program which can do that ?
[00:24] <pfred1> ikonia oh its gone now
[00:24] <ikonia> pfred1: cd .. rm pkgcache.bin
[00:24] <bun_bun> Typos_King: edit with nano?
[00:24] <Typos_King> bun_bun:    I do it by editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg   which in the new grub, is the equivalent to the old menu.lst... and then I back it up, if ever gets changed
[00:24] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   nano, vim, emac, any text editor will do
[00:25] <pfred1> ikonia I have a srcpkgcache.bin too get rid of it?
[00:25] <ikonia> pfred1: nah, that can stay
[00:25] <bun_bun> Typos_King: where in grub.cfg do I add "acpi=off" ??
[00:25] <ikonia> pfred1: now "sudo apt-get update"
[00:25] <pfred1> ikonia I can fix this! E: Archive directory /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing.
[00:26] <ikonia> pfred1: ughh, are you getting that now ?
[00:26] <dumont> how do i make a shortcut link on ubuntu?
[00:26] <pfred1> ikonia  sudo mkdir /var/cache/apt/archives/partial worked a treat
[00:26] <ikonia> pfred1: cool
[00:26] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   at the end of the /boo/vmlinux-..... line
[00:26] <ikonia> pfred1: sudo apt-get autoclean
[00:26] <Typos_King> s/boo/boot/
[00:26] <ikonia> pfred1: then sudo apt-get update
[00:26] <pfred1> ikonia now for the moment of truth drumroll please .....
[00:27] <justin22885> with a 500gb hdd, how big do yall think / should be?
[00:27] <bun_bun> Typos_King: I'm in /default/grub at the moment (already backed it up)
[00:27] <ikonia> justin22885: as big as you want it to be, anything from 4gb to 500gb can be used sensibly
[00:27] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   at the end of the /boo/vmlinux-..... line   <----
[00:27] <justin22885> well the majority will be a seperate /home partition
[00:27] <ikonia> justin22885: it's your layout,
[00:28] <antivirt1l> hello all, I want to mount a samba place, how can I do it ? (I've tried with: sudo mount -t smbfs <source> /mnt/ -o user=username
[00:28] <justin22885> so.. /home being seperate, what would you recommend for /?
[00:28] <antivirt1l> )
[00:28] <histo> justin22885: i usually leave 10gigs or 20gigs depends on how many apps you want to install on the box.
[00:28] <ikonia> justin22885: it's what you wnat to use - not what I'd recommend
[00:28] <bun_bun> Typos_King: it seems "update-grub" automatically re-writes grub.cfg - does that make sense? do I then skip changing grub.cfg?
[00:28] <pfred1> ikonia no dice!
[00:28] <histo> justin22885: but its completely up to you.
[00:28] <ikonia> pfred1: ooh rats
[00:28] <justin22885> well id like the room for all the apps i may install down the road
[00:28] <Klavier> update manager has problem about chroimum updating
[00:28] <Klavier> how can i solve it?
[00:28] <pfred1> ikonia still think of all the room for furry pron i have now!
[00:28] <ikonia> pfred1: exactly the same error ?
[00:28] <histo> justin22885: my current install which is custom / is only 2.77g being used
[00:29] <pfred1> ikonia of course
[00:29] <Klavier> i think problem is about keyserver
[00:29] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   it does, but update-grub isn't at every single bootup or installation of anything, just usually, on my case, I run it
[00:29] <justin22885> so, 20-25gb /, the rest /home should be fine
[00:29] <histo> justin22885: you can always expand it down the road and shrink home or vice versa
[00:29] <Klavier> but i dont know how get keys and how can i use keys for keyserver
[00:29] <antivirt1l> hello all, I want to mount a samba place, how can I do it ? (I've tried with: sudo mount -t smbfs <source> /mnt/ -o user=username)
[00:29] <ikonia> pfred1: just thinking
[00:29] <Klavier> for chromium update
[00:29] <randomusr> how can I check for 9.04 or 9.10 installed?
[00:29] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   isn't run that is
[00:29] <justin22885> yeah.. fine, ill go 20 on /, im about ready to turn everything over to linux in a few moments here
[00:29] <justin22885> im in windows 7 right now
[00:29] <histo> antivirt1l: you need to create a directory to mount to
[00:30] <antivirt1l> hmm
[00:30] <Klavier> what about me
[00:30] <Klavier> xD
[00:30] <bun_bun> Typos_King, I did it without touching the grub.cfg and now grub does have acpi=off in it at bootup. hmmm
[00:30] <antivirt1l> histo and with what command ?
[00:30] <histo> antivirt1l: sudo mkdir /mnt/share
[00:30] <histo> antivirt1l: sudo mount -t cifs //IP/nameofshare /mnt/share
[00:30] <histo> antivirt1l: that should work you can try smbfs but you need the samba tools installed
[00:31] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   hehehe, I highly doubt that, exit the editor and check again in 'less'
[00:31] <antivirt1l> cifs is what :
[00:31] <bun_bun> Typos_King, will running this new machine with "acpi off" disable any other features?
[00:31] <brjann> acu: unfortunately most of the open-source drive imaging utilities I know of aren't very friendly. Some of them are listed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DriveImaging
[00:31] <antivirt1l> ?
[00:31] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   update-grub just will remake it as it was without it
[00:31] <histo> antivirt1l: do you have any of the samba stuff installed?
[00:31] <histo> antivirt1l: you can also mount it by going to Places > Network and browsing to the share
[00:31] <ikonia> pfred1: scratching my head hard here, why you're apt-cache policy says it wants the correct version, yet apt-get install is looking for an older version
[00:32] <ikonia> pfred1: more so when it's just rocketed through on my machine
[00:32] <antivirt1l> histo
[00:32] <histo> antivirt1l: yes?
[00:32] <pfred1> ikonia you have 9.10 ?
[00:32] <antivirt1l> if i mount, can i access to it from shell ?
[00:32] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   just the acpi module usage, which 'might' mean you may need to turn off the machine by also using the power button
[00:32] <ikonia> pfred1: yes
[00:32] <brjann> acu: if you're not opposed to proprietary solutions, I've used Acronis TrueImage for a few years now and am very happy with it.
[00:32] <pfred1> ikonia yes this is seriously ticking me off I'd really like my dev package so I can build something I really want to have here
[00:32] <histo> antivirt1l: yeah either way you can. If you do it through gui you just have to find where gvfs or whatever gnome uses mounts it in your home somewhere
[00:33] <histo> antivirt1l: let me try my share hold up
[00:33] <ikonia> pfred1: I understand, I just can't see how you can be in the situation you're in
[00:33] <wells> What is the pastbin for image ?
[00:33] <rww> ubottu: version | randomusr
[00:33] <rww> ubottu: imagebin | wells
[00:33] <antivirt1l> histo, ok, i write you PM :P
[00:33] <pfred1> ikonia me either i try to dot all my i's and cross all of my t's
[00:33] <Klavier> if i compile kernel again.. for only my devices... ubuntu works faster?
[00:33] <ikonia> Klavier: no
[00:34] <bun_bun> Typos_King, strange. I've rebooted twice and it's working without having made any changes to grub.cfg
[00:34] <Typos_King> wells you can use  imgur.com
[00:34] <Klavier> i have karmic koala... i have 3 gb ram
[00:34] <nimrod10> !upnp
[00:34] <Klavier> i want more speed
[00:34] <nimrod10> !xbmc
[00:34] <bun_bun> heheh, I wonder what will happen when I run the update manager now...
[00:34] <ikonia> Klavier: using the correct xorg video drive is the best way to visually speed up your machine
[00:34] <Typos_King> bun_bun:   heheh, no acpi=off in it?
[00:35] <Klavier> ikonia, i have problem about updating chroium web browser,, i think it s about keyserver
[00:35] <bun_bun> I can't find "acpi=off" in grub.cfg - no
[00:35] <pfred1> ikonia I wish I had the option to dump gtk+ but i htink Ubuntu would blow a gasket if i asked it to do that
[00:35] <Klavier> do u have any idea?
[00:35] <MrPockets> wtf
[00:35] <acu> brjann: thanks for the pointers
[00:35] <ikonia> pfred1: %101 will
[00:35] <MrPockets> so i've got an external mounted to /mnt/external
[00:35] <ikonia> MrPockets: please control your language
[00:35] <brjann> acu: no problem, good luck :)
[00:35] <MrPockets> and i sudo chmod 755 /mnt/external
[00:35] <Klavier> update-manager fails for chromium
[00:35] <MrPockets> but nothign happens
[00:35] <viliny> Hello!
[00:35] <acu> brjann: thanks :)
[00:35] <ikonia> MrPockets: what file system is on /mnt/external
[00:36] <pfred1> ikonia being as its probably the second most important lib on the system behind glibc
[00:36] <ZykoticK9> Klavier, could you pastebin the error you are getting.  would really help the channel with your problem.
[00:36] <MrPockets> ntfs?
[00:36] <MrPockets> uhoh
[00:36] <Typos_King> Klavier:    .... tried Opera? hehhe, might be faster for you....it's so for me, web browser wise
[00:36] <viliny> Have a problem with a samba server here: when trying to share a folder theres an error: NT_ STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES   - anyone know what could cause this?
[00:36] <Klavier> chromium is the best
[00:36] <Klavier> for speed performance i think
[00:36] <ikonia> Klavier: and yet you're complaining it's not fast enough
[00:36] <Klavier> so i prefer this
[00:36] <Typos_King> Klavier  heheh, ooooookk.. well, I digress
[00:37] <Aled> is Epiphany (web browser) any good?
[00:37] <Aled> and will it work for the xfce interface?
[00:37] <ikonia> pfred1: stuggling to think of a situation, as to how you got into this situation
[00:37] <Klavier> ikonia, i prefer this with IE or Firefox
[00:37] <B3rz3rk3r> will renaming my /etc/hostname /etc/hosts to something else break anything.. i remember doing it once for something, and recall there was some problem with it
[00:37] <pfred1> ikonia just got tired of Microsoft around 15 years ago I guess
[00:37] <Klavier> i have Awg menu bar... it s works slow
[00:37] <ikonia> B3rz3rk3r: can do if you have anything referenced by the old hostname
[00:37] <Typos_King> Aled:   speed wise... I've heard good on Midori speed wise....not sure how well it fares in js, but does use the webkit engine
[00:37] <softy> i've switced to dwm from gnome and i'm noticing that some things i took for granted in my xsession defaults (sound, wifi management, scim IME support) are not by default loading/configured.   does anyone have any experience with this?  i am using wicd to manage wifi instead of the network manager applet.  but scim and sound are still only half-working
[00:38] <Klavier> ikonia, awg menubar items working slow.. show up slowly
[00:38] <francisco> anyone knows a channel for spanish ubuntu?
[00:38] <pfred1> ikonia I even made KDE version .4 run on Slackware 3.4 once and that was no small feat!
[00:38] <ardchoille> !es
[00:38] <B3rz3rk3r> ikonia, hey, to be clear im following this bug report as it affects me too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/338411
[00:38] <ikonia> Klavier: as I said earlier, make sure you have the best/most compatible xorg driver for your video card
[00:39] <airtonix> if i reduce the amount of available ttys from 6 to 2 will this have any adverse effects on my installation?
[00:39] <ikonia> airtonix: not really as long as there is still one to run your display
[00:39] <MrPockets> yeah man
[00:39] <MrPockets> real wierd
[00:39] <ZykoticK9> Klavier, if you are using the the Chromium Daily PPA and are missing the key "sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4E5E17B5" should get it for you.  But as you have not provided any specific info I can't be sure this is the issue or the PPA with the problem.
[00:39] <Purple_Thing> O
[00:39] <airtonix> ikonia, i assume this "display" you speak of occurs on tty0 ?
[00:40] <ikonia> airtonix: I can't remember to be honest, thought it was 6
[00:40] <Purple_Thing> I'm having an issue with flash. I can't seem to get Youtube videos to play and I'm also having trouble getting parts of facebook to work
[00:40] <Typos_King> softy:   I use kde... but prefer nm-applet from gnome as network manager.....so
[00:40] <randomusr> !non-free
[00:40] <Purple_Thing> I have the whole restricted extras for Ubuntu installed though
[00:40] <pfred1> ikonia with X I think there's 7 typically
[00:40] <randomusr> hmm
[00:40] <ikonia> thank you
[00:40] <Nielsen> Does alsa have their own channel?
[00:40] <ikonia> airtonix: there you go, 7
[00:40] <randomusr> ubottu: non-free
[00:40] <Klavier> ZykoticK9, why did u use --recv-keys 4E5E17B5
[00:40] <pfred1> ikonia but i have to admit i got lost when they switched over to the whole VT thing
[00:41] <Klavier> this key numbers?
[00:41] <softy> Typos_King: yeah, i solved the nm-applet issue by running wicd at startup. but i'm stuck on sound and IME.  alsamixer is throwing an error, and scim i loaded as a background daemon but the keybindings aren't bringing up the toolbar because (i assume) it's designed for GTK
[00:41] <beatbreaker> !ubuntu
[00:41] <brjann> Nielsen: yep, #alsa
[00:41] <pfred1> ikonia I think there's 128 of those somehow
[00:41] <GeekSquid> B3rz3rk3r: not a bug and I quote "This is just like Steve says not a bug, it's a faulty setup." you can't have 2 hosts on the same network with the same name
[00:41] <Nielsen> brjann, ah thanks
[00:41] <ZykoticK9> Klavier, that's Chromium Daily PPA key -- see https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa for details
[00:41] <Nielsen> brjann, i'll go bug them instead ;)
[00:41] <brjann> Nielsen: hehe, good luck :)
[00:41] <randomusr> what do I need to tell ubottu to get info on non-free/restricted repos and software
[00:41] <B3rz3rk3r> GeekSquid, yeah i just read that as well, so looks like isnt the issue. Ah well, back to google :p
[00:41] <Typos_King> softy:  ... maybe just need to use another window manager :)  maybe fluxbox or openbox, no?
[00:42] <pfred1> softy: I always liked Windowmaker
[00:42] <ZykoticK9> Klavier, if you are using Karmic then using the command "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa" would look after everything for you
[00:43] <softy> Typos_King: i don't think the wm is the proble ;-) just needs some config. im very happy with it
[00:43] <Klavier> thanks ZykoticK9

[00:43] <randomusr> !restricted
[00:43] <alzamabar> Hi all, does somebody know why am I getting the following warning in Apache? VirtualHost localhost:80 overlaps with VirtualHost localhost:80
[00:43] <softy> Typos_King: when i use dwm as just a wm _inside_ of a gnome session those settings work
[00:44] <softy> Typos_King: so I assume i need to put more stuff in my xinit if i am to run dwm at session-level
[00:44] <pfred1> alzamabar because they're on the same port and hostmask?
[00:44] <ZykoticK9> randomusr, if you want to find out info from the bot (without disturbing the channel) you can use "/msg ubottu WHATYOURSEARCHINGFOR"
[00:44] <nich0s> Having trouble configuring my DHCP server. http://pastebin.com/G0p0eFc6 is my DHCPD.conf file.
[00:44] <ikonia> nich0s: what's the issue ?
[00:44] <haecceity> how do i find a list of rooms?#
[00:44] <alzamabar> pfred1: You'll have to excuse me but I don't understand what you are saying...
[00:45] <randomusr> got it
[00:45] <schwert> how can i delete corrupted files like http://pastebin.com/U5kQAb0p
[00:45] <Typos_King> softy:  .. right
[00:45] <pfred1> alzamabar localhost:80 is a hostmask:port combination
[00:45] <nich0s> ikonia, I am unable to ping the clients from the DHCP server for one.
[00:45] <alzamabar> pfred1: What do you mean by hostmask?
[00:45] <ikonia> nich0s: errrrr how is that an issue with the dchp server ?
[00:45] <ikonia> nich0s: do the clients have ip's from the dhcp server ?
[00:46] <nich0s> ikonia, Also not a single one of the clients is grabbing an IP.
[00:46] <rww> haecceity: "alis" is a services bot that can do that. Type "/msg alis help" to find out how. Someone may suggest "/list", this isn't generally a good idea, as large amounts of results from it can flood you off the network.
[00:46] <ikonia> nich0s: ok, so check is your dhcp server running ?
[00:46] <pfred1> alzamabar oh excuse me hostname
[00:46] <ardchoille> schwert: try changing permissions before you delete it, use sudo
[00:46] <pfred1> alzamabar to me they're interchangeable expecially dealing with virtual hosts
[00:46] <schwert> even in root i have "permission denied"
[00:46] <haecceity> rww: cheers
[00:47] <alzamabar> pfred1: Ok, I got that. If I go through my Apache configuration I can't find a single place where I declared the host localhost

[00:50] <ikonia> please talk in the channel
[00:50] <alzamabar> pfred1: Have you got an idea on how could I solve this problem?
[00:50] <nibbler> speps, i dont think greyscale will save you any cpu
[00:50] <pfred1> alzamabar don't declare localhost as a virtual host?
[00:51] <ZykoticK9> hystreni, you could ask in #winehq have you checked http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14230&iTestingId=32652 seems to be several people with sound issues
[00:51] <alzamabar> pfred1: Where would have I declared localhost as a virtual host. In an Apache configuration file? If so, would you mind pointing me in the right direction? Because I think I configured all my Apache configuration files to point to my machine name on port 80
[00:52] <alzamabar> pfred1: And not on localhost
[00:52] <hystreni> How am I going to make Spotify to work with wine if it don't agree with my soundcard?

[00:53] <donvito> ok ?
[00:53] <bun_bun> drlabs: can you see the device with lspci command?
[00:54] <pfred1> alzamabar it all used to be in httpd.conf though
[00:54] <ikonia> donvito: talk to google then
[00:54] <donvito> let me call them
[00:54] <donvito> calling...
[00:54] <bun_bun> lol
[00:54] <speps> nibbler: nothing is impossible ;) one way is to integrate it in the webcam module. but this is the hardway
[00:54] <alzamabar> pfred1: I have got /etc/apache/httpd.conf and sites-enabled/000-default. In both files there is no trace of localhost
[00:55] <speps> nibbler: i simple wanna something that render an average 8 bit image
[00:55] <nibbler> speps, it needs extra CPU - maybe less than via loopback, but it needs...
[00:55] <SiegHard> How can i change my shared graphic card memory?
[00:55] <pfred1> alzamabar yeah apache may be getting it from your hosts file though
[00:55] <SiegHard> How can i change my shared intel graphic card memory?
[00:55] <ikonia> SiegHard: bios
[00:55] <SiegHard> am no option
[00:55] <SiegHard> there
[00:55] <ikonia> SiegHard: then you can't
[00:56] <alzamabar> pfred1: the /etc/hosts file contains: localhost 127.0.0.1, my machine name: 192.168.0.3
[00:56] <SiegHard> lol :D
[00:56] <SiegHard> i know i can :S
[00:56] <ikonia> SiegHard: then why are you asking -
[00:56] <drlabs> I'm gonna insist, cand someone help me with the bttv driver parameters on Acorp 9y878f (bt878 Conexant) ? I have managed to make it tune the channels but sound module won't load.After searching for 3 days on web found out that it must be a i2c problem or somthing. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 vanilla kernel. Tryed most of solutions on the web, none worked. What should I do? Please help anyone! Thanks
[00:56] <SiegHard> ikonia, i asking how
[00:56] <Celldweller_Abhi> anyone knows howto acpi=off config is built up and saved so that it is configured at boot time
[00:56] <Celldweller_Abhi> ??
[00:56] <ikonia> SiegHard: you "can't"
[00:56] <SiegHard> ...
[00:56] <pfred1> alzamabar somehow you have a virtualhost with the name localhost
[00:56] <SiegHard> How can i change my shared intel graphic card memory?
[00:56] <ikonia> Celldweller_Abhi: drop it in your grub config in /etc/grub.d
[00:56] <ikonia> SiegHard: you can't
[00:56] <histo> !rsync > antivirt1l
[00:57] <pfred1> alzamabar which I don't see as any big deal really
[00:58] <alzamabar> pfred1: I'm checking all virtualhost entries under /etc/apache2
[00:58] <GeekSquid> Celldweller_Abhi: add that to the boot line in /boot/grub/menu.lst  or /boot/grub/grub.cfg .. depending on your version
[00:59] <pfred1> alzamabar it is probably an example or something in your config file
[00:59] <Srayahu> Good evening everyone - I hope you all are well. =D How do I mount a USB device? I can see it listed when I lsusb.
[00:59] <drlabs> Hello! Anyone? TVTUNER specialist here??? :))
[00:59] <GeekSquid> Celldweller_Abhi: thats /boot/grub2/grub.cfg for Karmic and later
[00:59] <Celldweller_Abhi> well.. if i update afterwards.. will it get rewittren ? that means i have to do all again ??
[00:59] <Srayahu> !ask | drlabs
[01:00] <Typos_King> Srayahu:     tried yet using the file manager?
[01:00] <trism> Celldweller_Abhi: you can add custom parameters in /etc/default/grub
[01:01] <Srayahu> Typos_King, I don't know where to begin really. =/ Karmic Koala used to automatically mount this device for me; however, I had to do a fresh install of Karmic and now Ubuntu won't auto-mount the device.
[01:01] <alzamabar> pfred1: Can't find anything
[01:01] <alzamabar> pfred1: Will reboot. Today I changed the /etc/hosts file maybe that cause some problems
[01:02] <trism> Celldweller_Abhi: append it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off" then run sudo update-grub;
[01:02] <pikeshouse88> hi guys. im having touble with vino
[01:03] <Celldweller_Abhi> thanx :)
[01:03] <Srayahu> !ask | pikeshouse88
[01:03] <pikeshouse88> i  can see the desktop from the client but when i control the mouse, the movement of the mouse is not reflected on the guest
[01:03] <Celldweller_Abhi> i will try that and see if it really works out !
[01:03] <pfred1> alzamabar this is great Ubuntu botched up my apache configuration here!
[01:03] <pikeshouse88> the mouse moves on the host though
[01:03] <pfred1> alzamabar this next time I'll have ot make the config file immutable!
[01:03] <Typos_King> Srayahu:     how about  reinstalling gnome-volume-manager ?
[01:04] <Typos_King> Srayahu:  you'd be able to do it I'd think using gnome-mount
[01:04] <Srayahu> Typos_King, let me try reinstalling GVM? One moment...
[01:04] <pfred1> what kind of coke is ubuntu smoking if updating changeds edited configuration files?
[01:04] <wells> Hi all
[01:05] <Typos_King> hehehe
[01:05] <Typos_King> pfred1    you mean, update-grub updating grub.cfg?
[01:05] <Srayahu> Hi wells! How're you?
[01:05] <pikeshouse88> my movement is reflected on the host but no the guest
[01:05] <pikeshouse88> any ideas?
[01:05] <pfred1> Typos_King hell if i know all I know is I had this thing setup to serve out of my home dir and now it isn't
[01:05] <pfred1> Typos_King and it was a total pain i nthe ass to make it do it too
[01:06] <Typos_King> heh
[01:06] <pfred1> Typos_King and now it seems i have to do it all over again!
[01:06] <emfs> google.com not responding - it only with me?
[01:06] <Typos_King> pfred1 heheh, thus the reason why I back it up :)
[01:06] <wells> I'm having a problem with Ooo calc http://imagebin.org/86818  popup show over formula space
[01:06] <pfred1> Typos_King I'll engrave that config file into the HDD when I'm done this time too
[01:06] <Typos_King> pfred1   won't be a big change anyhow, most of the generated file is correct
[01:06] <pfred1> Typos_King yeah well 15 years of running Linux I've never run into nonsense like this before
[01:07] <Srayahu> Typos_King, Unfortunately reinstalling GVM did not work. = /
[01:07] <pfred1> Typos_King a distro should know not to change editted configuration files
[01:07] <neoteny> after a recent update my password stopped working.  also when i boot the grub menu doesn't show so i can log in at all.  is there a way to force the grub menu to show?
[01:08] <Typos_King> pfred1   well..... depends heh

[01:12] <chiques> I would like to compress a 20GIG file to fit in ISO dvd images. Anyone recommend any GUI's for that?
[01:12] <neoteny> GeekSquid, i thought so too but it doesn't.
[01:12] <defn> Hello all.  I've mounted my mobileme idisk using "Connect to server" using the GUI.  Is there a local mount point that I can use to access it via the command line?
[01:13] <Typos_King> cram a 20gbs   file in to a 4.7gbs... hmmmmm hehe
[01:13] <GeekSquid> neoteny: if you have a fast computer you have to be really quick with the ESC key
[01:13] <Typos_King> Srayahu:    can you find 'halvet' inthe repos?
[01:13] <brjann> defn: it's probably under ~/.gvfs/
[01:13] <pfred1> phew that was close i had it on another IP heh
[01:13] <geus> multiple probably ;)
[01:13] <DJ-Giraffe> hi
[01:13] <Klavier> can i copy/paste files and folders from ubuntu  to virtual box xp desktop
[01:13] <neoteny> GeekSquid, it's not to fast and i hit it like i was playing track & field
[01:13] <Klavier> ??
[01:13] <Srayahu> Typos_King, I'm looking. I'm also working on this issue... One moment.
[01:13] <arand> chiques: I guess the archive manager can make sequebtiak archives...
[01:13] <chiques> I wouldn't mind compressing into zip and breaking up in 4gb partitions.
[01:14] <arand> chiques: *sequetial
[01:14] <wells> GeekSquid: Yes allredy did that and all info are gone except for this one that still there no matter if I turned off Tools>Options .. Openoffice.org>general ... Tips Checkmark
[01:14] <Klowner> grrr, for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove grub2's "search" directive
[01:14] <Klowner> for whatever reason, grub can't find the uuid, and I can't figure out how to disable the search
[01:14] <wells> GeekSquid: maybe this one need a bug repport
[01:14] <chiques> arand, I'll check that out
[01:15] <Typos_King> defn:      afaik if mounted, it'd show under /media
[01:15] <airtonix> I'm having a problem getting python-dbus to detect signals from org.gnome.Screensaver, I dont think the dbus-monitor is displaying the correct path (at least the one it gives is a path i can't use in my dbus listener)
[01:15] <defn> Typos_King: it doesn['t
[01:15] <defn> doesn't*
[01:15] <arand> Klowner: TO check is the uuid is correct, use "blkid"
[01:16] <brjann> defn: did you check ~/.gvfs/ ?
[01:16] <defn> brjann: i did not. one second
[01:16] <arand> Klowner: Is that the search line in the boot parameters?
[01:16] <geus> chiques, install rar, then make split the volume
[01:16] <defn> brjann: thanks!
[01:16] <GeekSquid> wells: have you restarted openoffice?
[01:16] <brjann> defn: no problem :)
[01:16] <sheldon> hello all, i need to do a custom install cd with 8.0.4, anyone got idea to do this ?
[01:16] <PeskyJ> Where can I switch off the login sound?
[01:16] <sheldon> 8.0.4 server...
[01:17] <arand> PeskyJ: use gdm2setup...
[01:17] <schwert> how can i delete corrupted files like http://pastebin.com/U5kQAb0p when even root doesnt have permissions ?
[01:17] <Klowner> arand: the "search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set UUID_OF_ROOT_PARTITION" causes grub to fail and say it can't find it, so if I remove that line from the stanza and ctrl+x to boot, it boots just fine
[01:17] <wells> GeekSquid: restart does not matter I'm having this all the time
[01:18] <GeekSquid> wells: what version of ubuntu?
[01:18] <wells> GeekSquid: 9.10
[01:18] <arand> PeskyJ: https://edge.launchpad.net/~gdm2setup/+archive/gdm2setup
[01:18] <PeskyJ> arand: says no such program gdm2setup, but gdmsetup runs and is the same as system->administration->login screen
[01:18] <pfred1> schwert can't chmod the file to have permissions?
[01:19] <schwert> pfred1, not event that works
[01:19] <brjann> schwert: that usually means your filesystem itself is corrupted. I would reboot and force a filesystem check with    sudo shutdown -rF now
[01:19] <arand> PeskyJ: it's a specific python-gdm2setup from that ppa
[01:19] <chiques> geus, I'll try that too
[01:19] <chiques> Thanks
[01:19] <wells> GeekSquid: Ooo 3.1.1 build 9420
[01:19] <Typos_King> Klowner... so remove it or comment it, no?
[01:20] <pfred1> schwert chattr doesn't work either?
[01:20] <arand> Klowner: have you tried just running an update-grub and check if it corrects it?
[01:20] <geus> np, sudo apt-get install rar in terminal, then use file-archiver
[01:20] <schwert> brjann, the corrupted files appeared after fsck.reiserfs --rebuild-tree
[01:20] <Klowner> Typos_King: I can edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly but as soon as there's a kernel update it's going to screw it over
[01:20] <trism> airtonix: both / and /org/gnome/Screensaver seem to be working for me for paths
[01:20] <miwi> hello
[01:20] <pfred1> schwert chattr -i it
[01:21] <airtonix> trism, this is my script in question, when i put "/" as a path i don't capture any signals : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8889393&postcount=33
[01:21] <wells> GeekSquid: this occure when manualy typing in formula
[01:21] <Typos_King> Klowner... turn off the updates, I'd thnk.... either way.... you can just back it up....
[01:21] <PeskyJ> arand: ok, while I'm familiar with using linux, I tend to get a bit confused by how all the distribution/sources stuff works, so just reading about PPAs at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas :D
[01:21] <viktor_l> have a peculiar problem, can not wrap my head around it, the only mention old google gives me is a 2002 thread about a python script to reproduce my error. i try to share a folder using nautilus i get an error:
[01:21] <schwert> pfred1, no permissions either
[01:21] <viktor_l> "net usershare" returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID.
[01:21] <viktor_l> NT_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES
[01:21] <FloodBot2> viktor_l: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:22] <corespeedxxx> I need a command that eats all my ram and triggers oom killer
[01:22] <Klowner> Typos_King: I'd rather just find whatever file provides the template for generating the stanzas
[01:22] <Klowner> arand: update-grub doesn't remove it
[01:22] <Typos_King> Klowner.... right.... I know is in /etc   I've edited it before
[01:23] <Klowner> Typos_King: that's what I'm frustrated, there's no mention of "search" anywhere in any of the /etc/grub.d tuff
[01:23] <arand> PeskyJ: The quick and easy way it "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gdm2setup/gdm2setup", provided  you trust the ppa of course..
[01:23] <Klowner> er, stuff
[01:23] <PeskyJ> arand: so is it the case that some random person made that particular PPA and when people do that and if it has useful stuff the ubuntu people will put it into a later release?
[01:24] <arand> Klowner: I figured the uuid might just simply be wrong and that an update might correct it..
[01:24] <Klowner> the uuid is correct
[01:24] <Klowner> it's just that the searching for the device fails, but the kernel itself has no issues finding it
[01:24] <Klowner> and I can't tell stupid grub to stop looking for it
[01:24] <brjann> schwert: when you ran fsck with --rebuild-tree, did you also run it with --scan-whole-partition?
[01:24] <Typos_King> Klowner:  I don't think is that file
[01:24] <schwert> brjann, no
[01:25] <GeekSquid> wells: strange .. take it to launchpad ... note it might have to do with localization ... give them everything you got
[01:25] <pfred1> schwert what does lsattr say about the file?
[01:25] <sheldon> no idea to custom install cd of ubuntu 8.0.4 ?
[01:25] <brjann> schwert: try that, it's possible there's a dangling node in what reiser thinks is currently free space.
[01:25] <Guest80173> hello
[01:25] <geus> what you'd like custom?
[01:25] <viktor_l> can someone help me with this samba problem, i updated my server and now i can not access any samba share on that server, i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/385424/ when trying to share a folder through nautilus via vnc, the shares appear at the server but are not accessible. no user authentication is sufficient.
[01:25] <schwert> brjann, i'll do that
[01:26] <sheldon> add some package, programm to a "normal" install
[01:26] <arand> PeskyJ: PPAs is a personal repository, can be used for testing applications, personal applications, official proposed applications which might come into the release, or things that never will make it into release but that the ppa owner deems useful...
[01:26] <geus> sheldon, check this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1155961
[01:26] <brjann> schwert: and as always, make sure your data is backed up, etc before doing crazy filesystem things :)
[01:26] <schwert> brjann, too late for that
[01:26] <geus> maybe some info for you there
[01:26] <pfred1> brjann people still use Reiser after what happened?
[01:26] <wells> GeekSquid:  tkx :)
[01:27] <brjann> pfred1: apparently :)
[01:27] <pfred1> brjann he must have lots of time to code now!
[01:27] <brjann> schwert: well, good luck then :)
[01:27] <PeskyJ> arand: I see, and what's a sensible way to decide if you trust someone who makes these things?
[01:27] <Typos_King> Klowner:    in 9.1 I think  is /etc/grub.d/10_linux
[01:28] <arand> pfred1: that has nothing to do with the filesystem, and afaik, it's maintained by other people atm..
[01:28] <Typos_King> Klowner:    decently sure that's the file I edited, which has the template
[01:28] <pfred1> arand I just don't wnat to wake up in a dumpster in 17 different garbage bags!
[01:29] <pfred1> arand but seriously I thought Reiser was done anyways
[01:30] <arand> PeskyJ: Check the teams members and activity on launchpad, if you want you could simply pull the source code before installing anything from it, also you could instal just once from it and the disable it afterward..
[01:31] <Klowner> Typos_King: ah-ha, it's prepare_grub_to_access_device that adds the search line
[01:31] <pfred1> does anyone here know what i can edit to make this problem go away?  libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.18.3-1) but 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
[01:31] <greezmunkey> pfred1, hmm, as long as you're nat a Russian mail order bride, I suppose you'll be o.k.
[01:31] <greezmunkey> s/nat/not
[01:31] <UncleD> Is there a simple way to remove a process from system bootup that is located in /etc/rc0.d/ thru /etc/rc6.d/
[01:32] <dragonbyte> pfred1: install Windows 7 or buy a mac? :)
[01:32] <UncleD> in my case the process is /etc/rc0.d/K20dbmail
[01:32] <viktor_l> can anyone give me any general pointers, ubuntu and sambaserver works great, i update (god knows why) and samba does not anymore allow anyone to access even if the user name and pw has worked before. i uninstalled samba, did a new smb.cfg. no luck. tried with the old backuped one. no luck. what is my next step? the error i get in nautilus via vnc is http://paste.ubuntu.com/385424/
[01:32] <pfred1> greezmunkey running ext3 has dragged my butt out of the coals a couple of time so ....
[01:32] <arand> PeskyJ: Although it's you who makes the decision, I can say that I've used it with no issues so far.
[01:32] <Typos_King> UncleD    how about using   ->  sysv-rc-conf?
[01:32] <fabio999> UncleD: with the K it wont start
[01:32] <dragonbyte> pfred1: where are you getting the libgtk2.0 package from?
[01:32] <d4rkh4v0k> help
[01:33] <miwi> dragonbyte, why limit yourself? buy a mac and run win7 via parallels or virtualbox
[01:33] <pfred1> dragonbyte wherever dpkg is trying to grab it from how can I tell?
[01:33] <pfred1> miwi why?
[01:33] <ZykoticK9> !ask > d4rkh4v0k
[01:33] <dragonbyte> miwi: because your processor goes to crap as the mac loses all its cycles laughing at how bad of a copy job Win 7 is
[01:34] <d4rkh4v0k> I know, It wasn't intended for the chat windo
[01:34] <d4rkh4v0k> window
[01:34] <d4rkh4v0k> I was trying to get reaquiainted with the commands it's been 6 months since I've used IRC
[01:34] <dragonbyte> miwi: As if aero wasn't an obvious enough jab at aqua, then you have the stupid sidebar thing, and now they have tried to lift the dock
[01:35] <PeskyJ> arand: yeah - I generally just go with these things, but I'm trying to learn how it all works organisational wise
[01:35] <pfred1> dragonbyte wasn't there a dock in Afterstep? or a wharf or something?
[01:35] <jon5001> folks, this happened to me the other day: someone started controlling my ubuntu 9.04 computer via the VNC remote protocol that comes with the distro.  I have a password set up on this computer.  I got the intruder to start typing back and forth with me; he told me that my IP address is on a list somewhere of vulnerable computers.  He claimed to be from Romania, and claimed to have accessed many computers this way, including the
[01:35] <jon5001>  mainframe at a major international airport.  I shut down the port forwarding to close the whole.  But what's up with this vulnerability?
[01:35] <PeskyJ> arand: I suppose anyone who is a member in the  'ubuntu' group should get some level of trust - or is that misguided? is there some kind of vetting process for members?#
[01:36] <miwi> drangonbyte: yeah i agree win7 is a poor attempt to copy mac, but at the same time m$ft off2k7 is required for some companies
[01:36] <ardchoille> !ot | dragonbyte miwi
[01:36]  * Typos_King dashes
[01:37] <pfred1> ardchoille yeah well I've been here for over 2 hours now and I have the same problem one has to do something to break up the monotony you know?
[01:37] <pikeshouse88> vino's out. it wouldnt work. ive switched to x11vnc. Chicken of the VNC is working with it great, but the build in VNC client in os x is stuck at connecting. any ideas?
[01:37] <dragonbyte> miwi: so i run ubuntu in vmware fusion next to the win xp that I use for office 2k7
[01:38] <arand> PeskyJ: Mind that anyone with an LP account (who has a pgp key and has signed the CoC) can get a PPA, yea, to become an ubuntu meber there are some steps, and a "significant contribution to ubuntu" required.
[01:38] <d4rkh4v0k> Does anyone know of an online resource to study A+
[01:38] <miwi> dragonbyte: fair enough. on that note, I am struggling to get ubuntu 9.10 to play nicely with the evolution exchange mapi plugin
[01:38] <fabio999> office 2007 works fine on wine
[01:39] <Losha> PeskyJ: I'd say it's quite rare to find deliberate problems in PPAs. Bugs, on the other hand, are as frequent & numerous as in the regular repos...
[01:39] <dragonbyte> miwi: I actually gave that up ages ago.  Though, I was pretty impressed with joining an ubuntu machine to a windows domain so easily
[01:39] <pfred1> fabio999 red wine gives me the worst hangovers
[01:39] <miwi> dragonbyte: I checked launchpad and I see other users with exchange authentication issues, but I do not see any solutions
[01:39] <binMonkey> has anyone else had problems with iron browser?  i can't even open it.  it seg faults immediately.  does anyone have any ideas?
[01:39] <dragonbyte> miwi: the real trick is to replace the exchange server with something that functions properly :)
[01:40] <miwi> dragonbyte: I'll second that
[01:40] <LTL2h> A small question: In a console in X I launch startx and it works what's the possibilities for being able to do this... ;)
[01:40] <Losha> jon5001: so how did he get in. Is the password easily guessable?
[01:40] <dragonbyte> binMonkey: it is for your own protection
[01:40] <Dr_Willis> Hmm - ive never even heard of the 'iron' browser
[01:40] <jolaren> join #amsn
[01:40] <binMonkey> dragonbyte: how?
[01:40] <arand> PeskyJ: But I myself have a ppa, and naught but my good word (and the source code of course) can vouch for it's safety, since I really have no official ties at all..
[01:40] <jon5001> Losha, not easily guessable.  he said he had something called "Black VNC" which somehow bypasses passwords.
[01:40] <binMonkey> Dr_Willis: it's a version of chrome stripped of reporting to google.
[01:41] <pfred1> how do I go about repairing a "E: Broken packages" message?
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> binMonkey:  sounds like its got some bugs.
[01:41] <dragonbyte> binMonkey: well, that is how it prevents any web based security vulnerabilities.  You just replace your normal browser with one that doesn't function
[01:42] <miwi> dragonbyte: well, until the corporate exchange world switches to something public, I'll keep to running vm with ubuntu for outlook
[01:42] <binMonkey> Dr_Willis: i guess the update fouled some things up.  i hoped someone here knew something.
[01:42] <PeskyJ> arand: yeah, I figured anyone can do it - I'm just wondering how these things are monitored and how the community in general ousts any attempts by neer-do-wells to inject dodgy software
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> binMonkey:  Its not in the official repos i imagine. So best bet would be the browsers homepage/forums
[01:42] <claws_> what is a good file manager?
[01:42] <dragonbyte> miwi: Mail.app works with exchange as far as I know if you are on a MAc
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> claws_:  depends on your needs.
[01:42] <binMonkey> dragonbyte: i don't understand.  are you saying the program itself stopped running.
[01:43] <dragonbyte> binMonkey: it was a joke
[01:43] <pfred1> PeskyJ I think spammers hsould be publically tortured and executed
[01:43] <binMonkey> that's what i thought.   thanks for the help.
[01:43] <miwi> dragonbyte: unfortunately the work comp is a pc... oh well nothing is perfect
[01:43] <claws_> well... i need it to do everything that explorer do.... at least
[01:43] <arand> PeskyJ: fact is, nothing of the sort has yet occured afaik. Only a metter of time I guess, but so far it has been discussed little or none...
[01:44] <dragonbyte> binMonkey: well, you would kind of need to provide how you got the executable, where you got it, how you installed it, and a whole host of other information to even begin discussing why it might have segfaulted
[01:45] <pfred1> dragonbyte its been a while but don't you need to set a ulimit to allow core dumps too?
[01:45] <trism> airtonix: ok, this line seems to work for me, bus.add_signal_receiver(callback_func, "ActiveChanged", "org.gnome.ScreenSaver")
[01:45] <binMonkey> dragonbyte: you are right.  once again, thanks for the help.
[01:45] <Losha> jon5001: first I've ever heard of it, but clearly he knows something we don't. Personally, I only allow access to my machines from outside via ssh. I recommend you do the same.
[01:45] <xangua> dragonbyte binMonkey executable┬┐┬┐ is a win app┬┐┬┐
[01:45] <airtonix> trism, testing it now'
[01:45] <PeskyJ> arand: hrm, that's a bit worrying, I mean it would sure be a lot of work to put something in and hide it sufficiently so as not to go easily noticed, but if there's no review process it could be an easy target :/
[01:46] <binMonkey> xangua: no.  it's not a win app.  you are very helpful, too.
[01:46] <jon5001> Losha, true.
[01:46] <dragonbyte> binMonkey: Also, being rude and humorless is also likely to have people flocking to assist
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> claws_: and you have some problem with the default gnome file manager?
[01:47] <PeskyJ> jon5001: yeah, if you want to set up VNC, only allow it from localhost, then you can tunnel in over SSH
[01:47] <claws_> is gnom commander any good?
[01:47] <binMonkey> i don't know what you call it, but the tgz expands to a single directory and you run the program from that directory.  i tried it by cd-ing int to the directory and running ./iron.
[01:47] <pfred1> how can I get 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 to provide the dependency for libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.18.3-1) trying to install libgtk2.0-dev ?
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> claws_:  try it and see if you like it. I tend to use 'mc' and 'rox-filer' as alternatives to gnomes nautilus
[01:47] <arand> PeskyJ: We're slipping a bit offtopic here I think, I'll be in #ubuntu-offtopic ;)
[01:47] <geus> or use nomachine nx, alot better imho, and it's free
[01:48] <bIGHh> LTL2h: 1)You've launched a qemu-kvm guest in vga console OR 2)You've kept display :0 free ! OOOOooohhhHHH !!! amazing startx !
[01:48] <PeskyJ> jon5001: of if you're behind a NAT it becaomes so much easier as you only hav eto worry about LAN then :)
[01:48] <dragonbyte> pfred1: not sure, I never go that deep with it.  Typically if I have something segfaulting it is because it got built wrong so I rebuild it or get it from a better source
[01:48] <LTL2h> bIGHh: 200% TRUE !
[01:48] <binMonkey> dragonbyte: i'm sorry if i was rude.  your comments and xangua's seemed a little bit 'facepalmy'.
[01:48] <p1oooop> gmm
[01:48] <Dr_Willis> binMonkey:  so it comes precompiled. or 'statically' compiled. very likely some Lib conflict. Run it from terminal. look for error messages. is about all you can do. and report the erorrs to the programs homepage
[01:48] <Dr_Willis> binMonkey:  or try recompiling from source
[01:48] <melissawm> hi folks, i'm not sure i'm in the right place for lucid questions, but if so, can anyone help me to install lucid from a usb key? i get errors using both the live cd and the alternate cd (amd64)
[01:49] <claws_> Dr_Willis: gr8.. i wil try some out :)
[01:49] <pfred1> dragonbyte all I'm trying to do is to apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
[01:49] <GeekSquid> !lucid | melissawm
[01:49] <binMonkey> Dr_Willis: ok.  it the onlyt message is 'segmentation fault', is there anywhere else i can look?
[01:49] <Losha> jon5001: I see something similar to what you describe here, but its from 2006: http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cache:tzsjBhg96toJ:www.securiteam.com/unixfocus/5WP0D1FIKC.html+Black+VNC+bypass+password&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> melissawm:  use a tool like unetbootin, or the usb-disk creator tool to make a bootable usb key. boot from key. and install
[01:49] <pfred1> dragonbyte but apparently that is "too deep' for Ubuntu to do here!
[01:49] <dragonbyte> pfred1: oh sorry, thought you meant bin's issue.  Uhm, make sure you have the latest and greatest lists
[01:49] <brjann> binMonkey: one thing you might try is running ldd to see if the executable is missing any library dependencies
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> binMonkey:  Not that i can think of. a seg falt is a bad crash
[01:49] <ZenSimilia> hi all! need help: how to change single click to double click navigation in File-Roller?
[01:50] <LTL2h> bIGHh: Though you can do 2) after 1) ; AKA 2)+1) = 0... 0H0H.
[01:50] <dragonbyte> pfred1: if your dev sources don't match your bin sources it could give you pain too.
[01:50] <melissawm> Dr_Willis: thanks, i did that, but i get an error installing. anyway i'll go to #ubuntu+1 :)
[01:50] <binMonkey> brjann: is that 'ldd ./appname'?
[01:50] <pfred1> dragonbyte as in apt-get update ?
[01:50] <brjann> binMonkey: ldd <executable> will spit out a bunch of information about what dynamic libraries are linked to the executable. look for anything that says "not found" or the like
[01:50] <dragonbyte> pfred1: yeah, do an update, and make sure your sources.list entries are all kosher
[01:50] <binMonkey> brjann: cool,  thanks.
[01:50] <pfred1> dragonbyte I don't think the 13th time will exactly be a charmer do you?
[01:51] <pfred1> dragonbyte but what the hey I'm bored you know?
[01:51] <geus> ZenSimilia,   edit/preferences/behaviour in nautilus
[01:51] <dragonbyte> pfred1: well then you either may have a problem in your sources.list (ie, bad dev source) or there is a screwed up dependency in the package listing
[01:51] <pfred1> dragonbyte would you look at that
[01:51] <pfred1> dragonbyte the same error!
[01:52] <pfred1> dragonbyte yes I'm leaning towards the "there is a screwed up dependency in the package listing" myself
[01:52] <airtonix> trism, sorry that doesn't do anything for me
[01:52] <ZenSimilia> geus, i use PCmanfm
[01:53] <geus> soz, just noticed the mistake
[01:53] <LTL2h> bIGHh: In this case be ready to use qemu-kvm console command "sendkey ctrl-alt-F." to switch between X's Guest or/then ctrl-alt-1 to host home your mouse... HIHI.
[01:53] <dragonbyte> pfred1: if your sources.list is all clean then you could also clean cache and let it redownload.  Other than that, not sure what else to tell you
[01:53] <Luke__> can anyone recomend a good template editor?
[01:54] <tester__> Elias
[01:54] <brjann> pfred1: you might try the -proposed repository, to see if there's a glitch in the package
[01:54] <john__> hi group
[01:54] <pfred1> brjann how would i do that?
[01:55] <sate> I can someone tell me how to add firefox icon to the panel?
[01:55] <brjann> pfred1: look here, the "selective upgrading" part: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed
[01:55] <john__> can some one help in finding a set of drivers for my Vodoo 3dfx card
[01:55] <LTL2h> s/ctrl-alt-1/ctrl-alt/ ; ctrl-alt-1 was before sendkey... eheh!
[01:55] <sate> its only showing firefox installer
[01:55] <pfred1> brjann I am more of a stable release kind of a guy
[01:55] <Dr_Willis> sate:  for gnome you can drag an icon from the menus to the panel.
[01:55] <bIGHh> LTL2h: Brilliant !
[01:55] <PeskyJ> sate: Right click on it (in the applications menu) and choose "Add this launcher to Panel"
[01:55] <fabio_999> chrome has a lot of hiden features
[01:55] <sate> The problem is it's gone
[01:56] <Dr_Willis> sate:  could be firefox is not installed.. or the menus need refreshed
[01:56] <brjann> pfred1: hence the selective upgrade part -- you don't have to upgrade any more than you want to.
[01:56] <sate> I have firefox installed
[01:56] <sate> but its only showing firefox installer
[01:56] <Dr_Willis> sate:  log out/back in - and see if it shows up
[01:56] <pfred1> brjann you think if I downgraded my libgtk2.18.3-1ubuntu2 to a name closer to  2.18.3-1 could help?
[01:56] <LTL2h> thanks bighh, though there are so many me as me...
[01:56] <sate> Tried that
[01:57] <sate> Still showing firefox browser
[01:57] <pfred1> brjann this is the dep error I get:   libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.18.3-1) but 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
[01:57] <sate> browser installer *
[01:57] <brjann> pfred1: it might, yes. the latest version of libgtk-2.0-dev in the repo might not be the same version as the latest libgtk-2.0
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> sate:  you could right clck on desktoo -> make new launcher have it launch 'firefox'   - try just 'firefox' from a terminal also. make sure that works
[01:58] <brjann> pfred1: if that's the case, you could a) try rolling libgtk-2.0 back to match libgtk-2.0-dev, or you could check -proposed to see if there's a version of libgtk-2.0-dev that matches your libgtk-2.0
[01:58] <john__> Hi all is this thing working here LOL
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> Only time ive seen 'firefox installer' was on my Kubuntu Box.
[01:58] <brjann> !hi | john__
[01:58] <sate> That works
[01:58] <sate> The firefox in terminal
[01:58] <pfred1> brjann i just wish it'd work like it is supposed to as opposed to me jumping thorugh all sorts of flaming hoops I'd prefer not getting burned by any of this later on it all
[01:58] <john__> thanks I thought I was not hooked up here
[01:59] <sate> how do you make a new launcher?
[01:59] <john__>  Can some one help in Helping me with my Vodoo card
[01:59] <pfred1> brjann as in I'd like the dev package of gtk installed that is supposed to go with my release nothing more
[01:59] <p1oooop> vodoo?
[01:59] <john__> yep 3dfx card
[01:59] <p1oooop> you mean you wanna curse someone with insuffurable pain?
[01:59] <john__>  it is older but works
[01:59] <jon5001> Losha, yes, that seems to be it.  i think more ununtu users should know about this!!
[01:59] <p1oooop> ;)
[01:59] <Dr_Willis> sate:  right click on desktop -> make new launcher
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> 'Create Launcher'
[02:00] <brjann> pfred1: I understand, but I have no control over that :)
[02:00] <sate> i see it
[02:00] <pfred1> john__ i have one of those!
[02:00] <sate> now whats the command?
[02:00] <p1oooop> john__: yeah, I wouldn't know about that
[02:00] <p1oooop> sorre
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> sate:  err.. same as you typed in the terminal.. 'firefox'
[02:01]  * m3onh0x84 is away: I'm busy now 
[02:01] <john__> pfred1 what drivers did you ise
[02:01] <CrashOverride> use*
[02:01] <pfred1> john__ its sitting in a cardboard box someplace now
[02:01] <john__>   use
[02:01] <john__>  yes
[02:01] <john__>  sorry
[02:01] <brjann> pfred1: wait, do you have karmic-updates enabled?
[02:01] <sate> yup that worked thanks
[02:01] <pfred1> brjann how can I check?
[02:01] <trism> airtonix: could be a problem with the screensaver not sending the appropriate signals, but http://paste.ubuntu.com/385437/ this works for me (two files, one to start the screensaver with dbus, since I can't seem to get it to active on its own...perhaps that's why mine works)
[02:02] <neoteny> doh! it's grub2 that's installed there.  shift not esc forces the menu
[02:02] <binMonkey> brjann: thanks for the ldd command.  it didn't help but it's something new to learn.  thanks.
[02:02] <brjann> pfred1: System > Administration > Software Sources, under the "Updates" tab
[02:02] <john__>  any way In want to have a smaller screen but all I can get is 800x600
[02:02] <brjann> binMonkey: no problem, sorry it didn't help :)
[02:02] <CrashOverride> !display | john__
[02:02] <CrashOverride> :)
[02:03] <pfred1> brjann when I sudo apt-get update I see a lot of karmic this that and the other things
[02:03] <CrashOverride> john__: have you tried that solution?
[02:03] <john__> going to try it now
[02:03] <CrashOverride> john__: Good luck. :)
[02:03] <pfred1> brjann come to look at it every line is karmic something or other
[02:04] <geus> karmic updates...
[02:04] <pfred1> geus you know I'm not seeing it
[02:04] <CrashOverride> !sources | pfred1
[02:05] <pfred1> CrashOverride how about just see the command to enable them here?
[02:05] <neoteny> i forgot my password.  that hasn't happened at home in years :)
[02:05] <geus> if you added the normal update sources (or left 'em default) they should be perfectly safe to upgrade to
[02:05] <brjann> pfred1: the reason I'm asking is because karmic was shipped with version 2.18.3-1 of gtk and gtk-dev. the updated versions in the karmic-updates repo are 2.18.3-1ubuntu2.2, which is similar to the version in your error
[02:05] <EmilemiL> How do i add permissions for a user to be able to upload files via ftp to /var/www? (drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-02-27 19:37 www)
[02:06] <brjann> pfred1: despite your 13 attempts to update and check your sources so far, it really does seem like you're having a source issue
[02:06] <pfred1> brjann yes i have no line that says karmic updates
[02:06] <flyman> EmilemiL chmod the directory
[02:06] <flyman> chmod +775 or +777 /var/www
[02:07] <john__> ok type in sudo in run App and not there I have to remember how to bring it up
[02:07] <EmilemiL> flyman: its already 755 but woundnt it be less safe to use 777?
[02:07] <brjann> pfred1: okay, it seems like that's the problem. somehow libgtk2.0-0 was updated to version 2.18.3-1ubuntu2, but since you don't have karmic-updates enabled, apt can't find a version of libgtk2.0-dev to match it.
[02:07] <pirate> test
[02:08] <CrashOverride> !lostpassword
[02:08] <flyman> EmilemiL won't work till you make it 777 and yes it is unsafe
[02:09] <EmilemiL> flyman: ok, ill give it a try
[02:09] <pirate> 2
[02:10] <pirate> w
[02:10] <flyman> you should make a seperate user on the system and give him the privs even if he's remote (or accept IP but useless without static ip of client connecting) rather then really chmodd that directory but might want to think about it.
[02:10] <CrashOverride> Pirate: Please state your question
[02:10] <brjann> EmilemiL: alternatively you could chown the directory to the user ftp runs as.
[02:11] <CrashOverride> !etiquette pirate
[02:11] <CrashOverride> opps
[02:11] <CrashOverride> !etiquette | rate
[02:11] <john__> Ok How does one open sudo again
[02:11] <CrashOverride> damn
[02:11] <bikcmp> john__: erm, sudo?
[02:11] <bikcmp> :P
[02:11] <EmilemiL> brjann: ok
[02:11] <flyman> john__ open a terminal /end
[02:11] <CrashOverride> john: Go to your terminal
[02:11] <agoole> hey, I just lost my system to a crashed hard drive, and trying to install with the latest beta that was online
[02:11] <CrashOverride> john: Go to Application > Then first tab > then Terminal
[02:12] <agoole> when I try to boot it up, i just get a blank screen
[02:12] <agoole> and i can't see anything
[02:12] <agoole> just blank
[02:12] <EmilemiL> btw, can anyone tell me how to add the users name in front of my msg w/o writing it? :)
[02:12] <john__> this is my first time on Linux system I was so pissed at windows I killed it LOL
[02:12] <agoole> is there a good way for me to fix this ?
[02:12] <flyman> agoole most likely the graphics or not loading the partition that was in the original mbr, possible.
[02:12] <pfred1> EmilemiL what do you mean?
[02:12] <kostkon> EmilemiL, type the first 2-3 chars and then press TAB
[02:12] <ZykoticK9> agoole, if by beta you mean Lucid ask your question in #ubuntu+1 (it's common BTW, i don't know solution)
[02:12] <agoole> flyman: euh...I tried a different live cd, an older one, and it worked fine,
[02:13] <pfred1> kostkon pfft get a real mouse!
[02:13] <john__> okay  that is atl f2 right
[02:13] <EmilemiL> kostkon ah thanks
[02:13] <brjann> EmilemiL: e.g., if the ftp daemon runs as user ftp, you could chown the directory to ftp:www-data and change the permissions to 755.
[02:13] <agoole> ZykoticK9: oh perfect, thanks
[02:13] <CrashOverride> !private > john__
[02:14] <EmilemiL> brjann: okey, well i tryed that but it didnt work for me, maybe i did something wrong. chmod 777 works tho
[02:14] <CrashOverride> !terminal > john__
[02:15] <CrashOverride> John__: that should help you with your terminal problem
[02:15] <brjann> EmilemiL: okay. just beware that isn't very secure :)
[02:15] <flyman> agoole well your vid gfx may not be supported (assuming new card or not found by ubuntu correctly) but the system may also not have been installed correctly either. You know if you're using grub(2) or lilo?
[02:15] <EmilemiL> brjann: that's what im afraid of ;)
[02:15] <greezmunkey> ZykoticK9: Lucid is what, about four weeks away?
[02:16] <ZykoticK9> greezmunkey, 19 days until Beta 1 -- 61 days till final
[02:16] <agoole> flyman: using grub originally
[02:16] <agoole> flyman: but I lost everything
[02:16] <agoole> flyman: hard drive crashed
[02:16] <brjann> EmilemiL: what user did you chown to?
[02:16] <flyman> EmilemiL could always make a cron script to look for suspious activity or from specific user and if he/she starts trying to del everything you could stop it, bunch of scripts out their that could help depending on what daemon.
[02:17] <EmilemiL> brjann: can i just change premissions back to 755?
[02:17] <EmilemiL> brjann: chown to www-data i think
[02:17] <flyman> agoole when you installed was it off of internet/lan or just live cd? also did you delete the original partitions / wip the orig mbr? or do you know if it even got that far?
[02:18] <ZykoticK9> flyman, if you want to assist with agoole's issue please join #ubuntu+1 as well (he's running Lucid)
[02:18] <EmilemiL> flyman: from the safety of it all, since im the only user what safety holes do i have?
[02:18] <brjann> EmilemiL: ah. yeah, that wouldn't work. apache runs as www-data, not your ftp server. run this for me:   ps aux | grep ftpd   and tell me what user it's running as?
[02:18] <agoole> flyman: live cd, and I just swapped in a new drive, since my hard drive jsut died 2 days ago
[02:19] <john__> sudo/ect/init.d/?dm: No such file or directory
[02:20] <EmilemiL> brjann: im bad at that, got alot of text with root and www-data
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> john__:  use gdm or kdm, actually use 'sudo service gdm restart' if you want to restart gdm
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> john__:  and use proper spaces in commands..
[02:20] <brjann> EmilemiL: what ftp server are you using?
[02:20] <greezmunkey> ZykoticK9: agoole: this may be useful: http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/8225-clone-your-ubuntu-installation-onto-a-new-hard-disk
[02:20] <Ennui> software center keeps segfaulting
[02:20] <greezmunkey> ZykoticK9: sorry...
[02:20] <EmilemiL> brjann: protftp
[02:21] <EmilemiL> brjann: that runs as root
[02:21] <Jeffx> hi all, I'm running 10.3 and I got some problem setting my network up, the change I make in /etc/network don't appear when I restart. Every time I have to run sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1 then start firestarter and the network is fine, but I need this to be automatic at boot, tried a sh script without success, is this a knows bug
[02:21] <brjann> EmilemiL: it runs as root? then there's no reason it shouldn't be able to write whereever it wants to
[02:22] <ardchoille> Jeffx: /join #ubuntu+1
[02:22] <brjann> EmilemiL: oh, well. nevermind then :)
[02:22] <john__> so I do this in Terminal right
[02:23] <EmilemiL> brjann: root 7883 0.0 0.0 3004 752 pts/0 R+ 03:21 0:00 grep protftpd. but changing to 755 again resulted in lost permissions, im loggin in with my default user name
[02:23] <isp> bye
[02:23] <brjann> EmilemiL: oh! that's just the grep command. you misspelled proftpd :)
[02:24] <EmilemiL> brjann: haha ok, gimme a sec then
[02:24] <donvito> is nero linux avaiable for karmic
[02:24] <donvito> ?
[02:25] <donvito> !nero
[02:25] <donvito> !nero linux
[02:25] <john__> Okay from the start here
[02:25] <pikeshouse88> how can i log my account in from the gnome login window using terminal?
[02:25] <john__> like I said first time here just a newbe LOL
[02:25] <EmilemiL> brjann: sent you the lines in priv
[02:25] <skippuff54> jeffx what does your setup look like? do you have router? is your interface wired or wireless
[02:25] <Ennui> http://pastebin.com/yN8V2kTQ
[02:26] <kostkon> donvito, you'll have to buy it from here: http://www.nero.com/enu/linux4.html
[02:26] <louish> Nero to linux ?
[02:26] <_Tristan> pikeshouse88: on the bottom there's a session type dropdown
[02:26] <ardchoille> skippuff54: he is using lucid, feel free to join him in #ubuntu+1
[02:26] <donvito> okey
[02:26] <donvito> but is it avaiable?
[02:26] <kostkon> donvito, only a free demo version
[02:26] <donvito> anyother
[02:26] <pikeshouse88> _Tristan: lets assume i'm trying to this from ssh to allow VNC to start
[02:26] <kostkon> donvito, if you want the full app, you'll have to buy it
[02:26] <donvito> good recording program like nero
[02:27] <donvito> anyother
[02:27] <donvito> good recording program like nero
[02:27] <_Tristan> pikeshouse88: then I don't know
[02:27] <kostkon> !burners | donvito
[02:28] <pikeshouse88> from remote machine, id like to ssh into my server and sign into my account from the UI
[02:28] <flyman> k3b is good and has a decent UI
[02:28] <pikeshouse88> so that VNC can work
[02:28] <blakkheim> flyman: if you want to call qt a "decent ui"..
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> donvito:  nero linux - i dont think has all the features and extra tools that Nero for windows does.
[02:31] <pikeshouse88> anyone know how to log in gnome ui from terminal?
[02:31] <Srayahu> Brasero has always gotten the job done for me. =D
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> pikeshouse88:  for 'vnc' i normally install and set up 'vncserver' so i can 'ssh' in and run 'vncserver' - theres no need to login to the gnome desktop that way.
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> pikeshouse88:  or set up gnome to auto login and autostart the vnc desktop feature
[02:31] <Ali_nz1> how can i find out if a crontab job ran?
[02:32] <pikeshouse88> by vncserver you mean package x11vnc?
[02:32] <Ali_nz1> or is there a way i can setup some sort of email reporting?
[02:32] <blakkheim> Ali_nz1: for what
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> pikeshouse88:  theres a dozen vncservers you can use  - I tend to use 'vnc4server'
[02:32] <Faye> hello -- is ext4 much better than ext3? I'm installing ubuntu with a home and root partition, and I'm wondering if I should make /home ext4 or leave it as ext3
[02:33] <blakkheim> Faye: people have different opinions about that
[02:33] <Srayahu> Faye, I've never really experienced much difference. = /
[02:33] <blakkheim> Faye: in some cases, ext4 is slower than ext3
[02:33] <pikeshouse88> i heard vnc4server doesnt show your whole workspace
[02:33] <Ali_nz1> blakkheim: a find command in crontab with -exec rm switch
[02:34] <brjann> Faye: one thing to consider is that if you create an ext3 partition, you can always mount it as ext4 if you want
[02:34] <Srayahu> Faye, blakkheim took the words out of my mouth. I was going to comment that ext3 is a bit faster and maybe more stable.
[02:34] <blakkheim> Ali_nz1: you could have it send the output of a command to your email if that's what you mean
[02:34] <Faye> ok, in that case I'll leave it as ext3. Thank you!
[02:34] <Ali_nz1> blakkheim: that would work. how do i do it?
[02:34] <blakkheim> Ali_nz1: ssmtp+mailx is what i use, but there are other ways
[02:35] <ardchoille> Ali_nz1: run the same find command minus the -exec rm switch and see if it finds anything.
[02:35] <Ali_nz1> blakkheim: is that a plugin?
[02:35] <blakkheim> Ali_nz1: mailx and ssmtp are both packages in ubuntu that you will need to install and configure if you want to do it that way.
[02:36] <faron> can anybody tell my when i right click on "#ubuntu" in the  pidgin buddy list window to try to "join" # ubuntu i get the error msg "Error joining chat #ubuntu@irc.ubuntu.com/faron
[02:36] <faron> 404: Remote Server Not Found"     but when i type "/join # ubuntu" in nickserv it seems to work just fine ?
[02:37] <pw-toxic_> hi
[02:37] <crackpotkid> hi
[02:37] <pw-toxic_> how can i install KDE additionalle besides gnome, so that i can choose it at startup?
[02:37] <pw-toxic_> i remember something like apt-get install kubuntu. but he doesnt know this
[02:37] <ardchoille> pw-toxic_: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:37] <phrost> is there a method via apt or dpkg where you can have it verify the state of installed files via md5 or something, vmware installer broke all the perl 5.10 libs
[02:38] <john__> Okay can someone help on this video driver
[02:38] <pw-toxic_> ardchoille, lol now i remember it. Thanks!
[02:38] <xangua> faron: #ubuntu@irc.ubuntu.com/faron < is that the name you give it┬┐┬┐ i only have #ubuntu in the configuration
[02:38] <manas> Hi, what is the room for google summer of code
[02:38] <ardchoille> pw-toxic_: haha
[02:38] <brjann> manas: i'd bet #gsoc
[02:39] <faron> sorry not sure exactly what you mean
[02:39] <pw-toxic_> ardchoille, i have bought a new laptop.. is it possible to clone my old desktop? style etc easlily?
[02:39] <ardchoille> !clone | pw-toxic_
[02:39] <faron> ahhhhhh wait...........
[02:39] <ardchoille> !automate > pw-toxic_
[02:40] <vince> Do you guys know if windbind is nessesary for printer sharing?
[02:40] <pw-toxic_> ardchoille, is this command able to handle the chance of architecture?  my old laptop is 32bit and my new one 6 bit?
[02:40] <Nushio> I need some help installing Ubuntu 9.10, it won't boot from a livecd on a very old desktop (1.1 Ghz, probably p3)
[02:40] <ardchoille> pw-toxic_: oh, don't know about that
[02:40] <Nushio> the error it gave was /init: line 1: can't open /dev/sr1: No medium found
[02:40] <ardchoille> pw-toxic_: better find out before you go running those
[02:40] <Nushio> I just tried Fedora 9, 10, 11, 12 live cds, and none of those would boot either :P
[02:40] <pw-toxic_> ardchoille, well i just try it.. i have no problem with reinstalling everything
[02:42] <IMTheNachoMan> i have a pc with a hdmi port built into MB, will ubuntu detect that?
[02:42] <IMTheNachoMan> or how can i check before i start installing?
[02:42] <Izinucs> IMTheNachoMan: run the live cd and see if it works
[02:42] <IMTheNachoMan> humm
[02:42] <IMTheNachoMan> k
[02:42] <Nushio> Izinucs: what if the livecd won't boot?
[02:42] <IMTheNachoMan> no other option?
[02:43] <IMTheNachoMan> i am still waiting for the MB to arrive and doing research right now. so comp is not built yet
[02:43] <Izinucs> Nushio: then you have to work that issue out.. may by turning off acpi.. or other solution
[02:44] <Nushio> hmm, guess its time to undust the old boot parameter list
[02:44] <Nushio> at least ubuntu shows the booting logo
[02:44] <Izinucs> IMTheNachoMan: It really depends on the chipset video card etc.. to many variables to guess at
[02:44] <IMTheNachoMan> GF9300-A-E - Nvidia GeForce 9300
[02:44] <Nushio> fedoras 9-12 fail 5 secs after i select "boot from livecd"
[02:44] <Izinucs> Nushio: you having problems getting the live cd to boot?
[02:45] <Nushio> Izinucs: yes, on a very old desktop
[02:45] <Nushio> the error it gave me on ubuntu was /init: line 1: can't open /dev/sr1: No medium found
[02:45] <Nushio> so I just unplugged the secondary cd drive
[02:46] <Izinucs> Nushio: I wonder what sr1 is.. do you have more than one monitor hooked up?
[02:46] <Nushio> just one monitor, actually
[02:46] <Nushio> i'm quite surprised it refuses to boot 'n stuff
[02:46] <Nushio> hmm
[02:46] <Nushio> I think the secondary cd drive is damaged
[02:46] <Srayahu> What is /dev/sr1?
[02:46] <Nushio> unplugging it got it to boot
[02:46] <Izinucs> Nushio: :)
[02:46] <john__> OKAY guys I have the terminal open  and I typed in sudo/etc/init.d/?dm restart and got error
[02:46] <Nushio> Srayahu: according to google? could be a cd rom drive
[02:47] <Nushio> in my case, I have 2, a dvd and a cd rom drive (as I said, very old desktop :P)
[02:47] <randomusr> is it possible to use my media buttons with web based flash video?
[02:47] <Srayahu> Nushio, What's your boot order in BIOS?
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> randomusr:  never seen it work that way.
[02:47] <Nushio> Srayahu: dvdrom-harddrive-floppy
[02:47] <ardchoille> john__: someone told you how to fix that a long time ago: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart # where ?is a g or a k depending on which display manager tyou are using
[02:47] <john__> sudo/etc/init.d/?dm: No such file or directory
[02:47] <Nushio> (it has floppy :P)
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> john__:  for starters theres a SPACE btweek sudo and /etc
[02:48] <Srayahu> Nushio, and you've got the Ubuntu LiveCD in DVDrom?
[02:48] <Nushio> Srayahu: is that wrong?
[02:48] <john__> Ok thank like I said this is my first time on linux system
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> john__:  and if you want to restart gdm use 'sudo service gdm restart'  or use 'stop' or 'start'
[02:48] <Srayahu> Nushio, no - but I want to cover all our bases.
[02:48] <hdon> hi all. i'm using the "pencil" animation package, but when i draw, there are lots of artifacts in the area of my cursor. how can i toggle hardware accelerated compositing? i want to see if that will help
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> john__:  i mentioned the SPACE thing a while back.
[02:48] <Nushio> yes, I put cd on a dvd reader, not dvd on the cd reader
[02:48] <randomusr> Has anyone heard whether blu-ray support will improve?
[02:48] <Srayahu> Nushio, did you do a checksum of the CD?
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> john__:  why/what are you trying to do with GDM anyway?
[02:49] <ardchoille> Dr_Willis: thank you for mentioning the "service", I keep forgetting about it
[02:49] <Izinucs> randomusr: it will... just time is all it takes
[02:49] <Srayahu> randomusr, everything eventually improves, especially in Linux.
[02:49] <Nushio> Srayahu: the cd rom is fine, why does everyone always suggest starting there? >_<
[02:49] <Nushio> It booted on my laptop
[02:49] <Srayahu> Nushio, because we get that a lot.
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> ardchoille:  yep. :) since /etc/init.d/gdm  may not even exist in the next release. :)
[02:49] <john__> ok what I want to do Is change my 800x600 top something bigger  all it gives me is 800x600 or lower
[02:49] <Srayahu> So it starts to boot, then crashes?
[02:49] <ardchoille> ah,ok
[02:49] <sixofour> so i am using ubuntu, and i am xfering files over from my xp pc to my lin box using samba4, well, samba4 is locking the files when  they come to the lin box, so i cannot modify or cut/paste them or anything, how can i force samba to free the permissions up, and still have file sharing?... the file permissions cannot be changed with root...
[02:49] <Izinucs> john__: what kind of video card do you have?
[02:50] <randomusr> I just hope that the industry execs realize how important that is. As media support improves, I suspect linux adoption will go up exponentially
[02:50] <Srayahu> sixofour, did you try chown?
[02:50] <Nushio> awesome, gonna install ubuntu now
[02:50] <Nushio> that was quick, hah
[02:50] <john__>  I have a older video card a vodoo 3dfx card
[02:50] <Dr_Willis> ardchoille:  seems /etc/init.d/gdm is now a link to '/lib/init/upstart-job' in 10.04 :)
[02:50] <sixofour> no, i don't want to break samba, so i am trying alternatives first
[02:50] <sixofour> Srayahu:
[02:50] <ardchoille> Dr_Willis: are they moving away from sysvinit ?
[02:50] <Dr_Willis> john__:   and what is star/stoping/restarting gdm having to do with this
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> ardchoille:  they allready have. theres just a few traces of SysV left.
[02:51] <Srayahu> sixofour, I meant on the incoming files.
[02:51] <ardchoille> ah,ok
[02:51] <Srayahu> I don't know much about Samba. = /
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> ardchoille:  and it seems they did things to still let the old habbits still work. :)
[02:51] <dsnyders> brjann, an update on my plight with gnome.
[02:51] <Izinucs> john__: open System>Admin>Synaptic package manager and search for voodo and see if there is a driver listed that's available.. then install if it's not already installed.
[02:51] <ardchoille> nice
[02:51] <jesse2> weird question.... has anyone managed to get Facebook chat working with empathy? the synaptic description says it supports facebook, but i cant add a facebook account
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> any 3dfx card is so old.. its amazing it still works. :)
[02:51] <sixofour> Srayahu: well the "reviced" folder is locked, and everything in it, if i take ownership, my winxp machine might not be able to modify them either, also, its huge geebees of data, not a few jpgs :P
[02:52] <Izinucs> jesse2: might be a plugin available in the repos
[02:52] <randomusr> how is HDMI support in linux/ubuntu?
[02:52] <john__> Okay I will look
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> !3dfx
[02:52] <ardchoille> Dr_Willis: so now it's "sudo service blah start|stop|restart" ?
[02:52] <ZykoticK9> jesse2, you don't need a plugin anymore -- facebook has switched to jabber - many instructions on net for it
[02:52] <jesse2> oh! thanks
[02:52] <jesse2> i'll just make a jabber account then
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> ardchoille:  thats the proper way. The service command has been around for the last 2+ releases at least
[02:52] <sixofour> Srayahu:  50gb
[02:52] <ardchoille> ok
[02:52] <claws_> any good security tools for ubuntu ?
[02:52] <Srayahu> sixofour, I see. You're trying to maintain function between both machines. >_> Ignore me...
[02:52] <Izinucs> claws_: more than you can count
[02:52] <hdon> how can i toggle hardware accelerated window composition?
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> claws_:  depends on what you need.
[02:52] <Srayahu> Be back soon
[02:52] <sixofour> Srayahu:  yes, also, some files are not working,
[02:53] <sixofour> does linux have a file character name limit?
[02:53] <john__> No driver to found
[02:53] <sixofour> file name character limit*
[02:53] <dsnyders> brjann, There is a file called ~/.configure/monitors.xml that contains the resolution gnome will use.  Mine had the wrong resolution.  After deleting the file, gnome started working again.  Kudos to the folks on #gnome.
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  if it does.. its real real real real high. :)
[02:53] <Izinucs> sixofour: not sure but it doesn't like spaces.. use underscores
[02:53] <claws_> <Dr_Willis:
[02:53] <hdon> sixofour, there is PATH_MAX
[02:53] <claws_> Dr_Willis: gr8.. i wil try some out :)
[02:53] <claws_> ops
[02:53] <claws_> Dr_Willis: internet security pack
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> spaces in file names can cause headaches. Best to use Understores if you Must do such things
[02:53] <sixofour> Izinucs: well, about 300,000 files have spaces in them
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> claws_:  that means very little. sounds like a buzzword/marketing term more then anything else.
[02:54] <sixofour> in about 30 directoriy trees
[02:54] <Izinucs> sixofour: oops. you can still access them.. it just at the command like that you have to use a little different syntax
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  be carefull when doing scripts and command line with spaces in names. It can be a bother.
[02:54] <john__> well I think I will have to find a newer card then I have a nvida card but I do not think it will work on this MB
[02:54] <sixofour> i just want to cut/paste what is already transferede, since i have to do multiple transfers
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  most file managers handle them fine. Its when you get to the command line they can cause issues.
[02:55] <sixofour> i can copypaste, but i don't know if i have enough hd space
[02:55] <dsnyders> sixofour, wherever there is a space you have to use a backslash in front of it.
[02:55] <Izinucs> sixofour: transfers of what? files? entire directories?
[02:55] <hdon> sixofour, don't listen to Izinucs, spaces in filenames are fine.
[02:55] <sixofour> i have a folder, in it is about 30 files and files, those folders have multiple folders in them aswell
[02:56] <claws_> Dr_Willis: well... let me say it this way.. AntiV and Firewall. and if there is a good 2 in 1 tool... i whould be gr8ful to know
[02:56] <artemka1000> hi.  a real linux noob here.  installed ubuntu on my vaio laptop.  seems to work great, but doesn't see/recognize my built-in SD card reader.  i did some searching on forums, but a lot of it is way above my head.  any advice where to start?
[02:56] <sixofour> folders*
[02:56] <Izinucs> hdon: sixofour didn't say they weren't fine.. just that accessing is different
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> claws_:  dont expect 'all in one tools'     each tool tends to be set for a specific task. There are Firewall front ends.. and there are AV software
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> !firewall | claws_
[02:56] <hdon> Izinucs, what you said is irrelevant :\
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> claws_:  i have little need for a firewall on my linux box's - and even LESS need for antivirus software. Unless i want to scan windows binaries befor i put them on a windows box.
[02:57] <tiger_> where to look for syslog about last crash info?
[02:57] <Dr_Willis> claws_:  linux is 'not' windows. and such common things that windows needs. Just dont apply most of the time in linux.
[02:57] <sixofour> antivirus software for linux... lulwut?
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  it exists.
[02:58] <ARC0112358> I need help with VNC client
[02:58] <Izinucs> hdon: irrelevant? that accessing, copying etc from cli is different with files containing spaces? I think not
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> clamav, and avg both have linux av tools.   and proberly some more i cant think of
[02:58] <randomusr> AC0112358: what's up?
[02:58] <sixofour> so i am using ubuntu, and i am xfering files over from my xp pc to my lin box using samba4, well, samba4 is locking the files when  they come to the lin box, so i cannot modify or cut/paste them or anything, how can i force samba to free the permissions up, and still have file sharing?... the file permissions cannot be changed with root...
[02:58] <randomusr> ARC0112358: what's up?
[02:59] <ARC0112358> I can see remote desktop , and control it if I watch remote monitor, but client cant see menus
[02:59] <belak> About how long does the alternate ubuntu install take?
[02:59] <belak> If I know what I want for all the options...
[02:59] <sixofour> install depends on hd speed right?
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  the smb config file can set the default permissions for the files.   Unless you used that user 'right click to share' feature. Not sure how you change those.
[02:59] <coz_> belak,  maybe 20 minutes or less depending on hardware
[02:59] <randomusr> ARC0112358: what are the two OS' involved?
[02:59] <ARC0112358> client wont display pulldowns - its like its not refreshing at client
[02:59] <ARC0112358> ubuntu 91 on both
[02:59] <ARC0112358> 9.10
[02:59] <sixofour> how do i config smb though?
[02:59] <belak> coz_: thanks
[03:00] <claws_> Dr_Willis: good to know :) i have heard of the good security in linux... this is my 5 day on linux.. i have noticed there are big diff between ms and linux.
[03:00] <sixofour> how do i config smb though? Dr_Willis
[03:00] <ardchoille> claws_: just remember, the user is the weakest link in any OS
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  i always edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file - but ive read the docs and have done samba by hand for years. :)
[03:00] <randomusr> ARC0112358:  uninstall VNC on both, update both systems with update manager and re-install VNC. That worked for me
[03:00] <sixofour> is there no gui or command line atleast?
[03:00] <tiger_> hi, where to look for info of the last crash?
[03:01] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  i tend to just set up the HOME shares so all users have their home dir shared. I dont use 'user created' shares much
[03:01] <ARC0112358> Which program are you using?
[03:01] <claws_> ardchoille : i will :)
[03:01] <brjann> dsnyders: I have never heard of that file before in my life :D
[03:01] <belak> tiger_: what crashed?
[03:01] <Izinucs> tiger_: perhaps in /var/log
[03:01] <Dr_Willis> !info samba-doc | sixofour
[03:01] <sixofour> well i have to go, i'll figure this out in awhile
[03:01] <Dr_Willis> sixofour:  theres proberly some gui tools.. but i dont use them. and i dont know how they mesh with the 'user share' feature'
[03:01] <brjann> dsnyders: but I'm glad to hear you got it working! I'll remember that for next time. and/or will just send people to #gnome. ;)
[03:01] <tiger_> belak: system crash, shutdow....
[03:02] <belak> Hm...
[03:02] <randomusr> ARC0112358:  VINO and VINAGRE
[03:02] <Izinucs> Dr_Willis: shouldn't smbfs pretty much cover sixofour for network fileshare?
[03:02] <ARC0112358> Is that two programs or a server and a client
[03:02] <ARC0112358> ?
[03:02] <randomusr> Yes
[03:02] <ARC0112358> OK
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> !info smbfs
[03:02] <ARC0112358> Thanks!
[03:02] <randomusr> ARC0112358:  You could also try TIGERVNC
[03:02] <Holman_> will someone please help me, when I try to go into ubuntu from grub it says error: you need to load the kernal first
[03:02] <Dr_Willis> Izinucs:  he stillneeds samba set up properly.
[03:02] <ARC0112358> I'll check it out
[03:02] <Izinucs> Dr_Willis: k.. just wondering
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> samba can set default modes on files that get copied over to various shares.  customizeable on a per share basis
[03:03] <Iceman_B> I just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10, but I still cant put my desktop to 1440x900 reso to fit my monitor. It┼ø stuck on 1024x768, and im using the Nvidia drivers
[03:03] <Iceman_B> how to fix this?
[03:03] <Holman_> can anyone read this?
[03:03] <dsnyders> brjann, the #gnome folks had me fixed up in two posts.
[03:03] <Iceman_B> Holman_, yup
[03:03] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: you might try nvidia-xconfig or nvidia-settings
[03:04] <brjann> dsnyders: now you're just making me feel bad. :)
[03:04] <randomusr> is there a weather plugin for COMPIZ? Like Live weather?
[03:04] <Holman_> okay thanks, when I try to load ubuntu I get error: you need to load the kernel first
[03:04] <Iceman_B> Izinucs, nvidia-xconfig returns errors, trying -settings now...
[03:04] <Izinucs> randomusr: there's one you can add to the top bar.. right mouse click and choose add.. you'll find it.
[03:05] <Holman_> does anyone know what I should do? I have a lot of important stuff that I don't want to lose
[03:05] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: have you activated the nvidia drivers?
[03:05] <dninja> when i compile with gcc, using the standard profiler option (-pg) and after i run my program, i get no gmon.out as expected. is this something ubuntu has disabled, like core dumps?
[03:05] <xangua> randomusr: you are looking for a screenlet/widget/whatever is called
[03:05] <dsnyders> brjann, Not to worry.  I'm sure those #gnome people would die to know some of the things I've seen you walk other people through.
[03:05] <Iceman_B> Izinucs, yes, I have. and the widget that comes up says CRT-1, and I cant change anything. changing the reso only makes the desktop larger
[03:06] <Iceman_B> not the display itself :/
[03:06] <Holman_> can anyone direct me to a chat where I might get some help?
[03:06] <artemka1000> any advice on a built-in card reader that's not working?  is there a device manager or something where i could search for the hardware?
[03:06] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: you hooked to a tv/monitor?
[03:06] <brjann> dsnyders: aw, thanks. :)
[03:06] <xangua> !ask | Holman_
[03:06] <Iceman_B> Izinucs,  nope, Acer AL1916W lcd widescreen
[03:07] <brjann> dninja: works fine for me with a simple    int main() { return 0; }    program
[03:07] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: which driver and what card do you have?
[03:07] <belak> Holman_: google
[03:07] <Iceman_B> Izinucs, Nvidia driver 185.18.36, gfx card is a GF6800 LE
[03:07] <Holman_> when I try to load ubuntu from grub it says "error: you need to load the kernel first"
[03:08] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: is there a 173 driver also available?
[03:08] <xangua> Holman_: do you uninstalled something┬┐┬┐
[03:08] <Iceman_B> I think so, lemme check
[03:08] <deadlyninja> brjann, do you know if linking to libraries breaks -pg?
[03:08] <belak> Holman_: try an update-grub
[03:08] <belak> http://muammar.me/blog/index.php?/archives/332-error-you-need-to-load-the-linux-kernel-first.html
[03:08] <brjann> deadlyninja: it shouldn't. give me a sec
[03:09] <Iceman_B> Izinucs, yeah. I can choose between 173, 185(now actvd), and 96
[03:09] <Holman_> xangua, no I didn't uninstall anything, I was just working from blackbox and it started acting funny and then just froze up and now won't work
[03:09] <wizard00> i cant install flash player
[03:09] <Holman_> how can I update grub, can I do that from windows?
[03:10] <xangua> wizard00: open software center ;)
[03:10] <wizard00> im on ubumtu 5.10.
[03:10] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: try the 173 and see what happens.. also in cli type xrandr and see if the resolution that you want comes up.. if it doesn't then you'll have to add the resolution to xrandr to make it work.
[03:10] <coop> i have an analog stereo output but sound is very low, sounds muffled, lookng for suggestions on improving sound quality
[03:10] <belak> Holman_: Oh, wait... ehh... I suppose not...
[03:10] <wizard00> that doesnt have software center.
[03:10] <Iceman_B> Izinucs, okay, I─║l try both tips
[03:10] <Iceman_B> brb
[03:10] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: do the 2nd first
[03:10] <belak> Holman_: when you boot, edit the line for booting and change the line with "root" in it to remove the /dev
[03:11] <belak> That probably makes no sense
[03:11] <Iceman_B> ok
[03:11] <detective_> Hello i am having trouble locating a file i downloaded via terminal, I downloaded and extracted a  UFI2ISO program and when i converted the file to iso i cant find it. I followed instructions from this site http://www.nirmaltv.com/2008/06/14/how-to-convert-uif-files-to-iso-format-in-ubuntu/ and did nothing other than what it said if someone could please help me it would be much appreciated
[03:11] <randomusr> xangua, Yes I want a weather widget
[03:11] <randomusr> for Compiz
[03:11] <brjann> deadlyninja: just tested with a program linked against four libraries, still got a gmon.out
[03:11] <Iceman_B> Izinucs, 1440x900       63.0  <-- that comes up in the last line
[03:11] <wizard00> can someone please help mr figure out how to install adobe flash player????
[03:11] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: I've forgotten.. is that what you want?
[03:11] <Iceman_B> yes
[03:12] <brjann> deadlyninja: and this time it was a real program :)
[03:12] <Izinucs> Iceman_B: I'll have ubottu send you a link .. it might help.
[03:12] <Iceman_B> alright
[03:12] <meanburrito920_> does anyone else ever have issues with full-screened graphical programs arbitrarily switching between full screen and windowed mode? (and freezing up in the process?)
[03:12] <Izinucs> !resolution > Iceman_B
[03:12] <deadlyninja> brjann, well this is odd, im using gcc v4.4.1 (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9)
[03:13] <brjann> deadlyninja: are you compiling and linking with the same command? e.g. gcc -pg foo.c -ofoo ?
[03:13] <wizard00> how do i install flash player??
[03:13] <Hebram> !resolution > Hebram
[03:13] <Izinucs> wizard00: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[03:14] <claws_> Dr_Willis: btw... thx for the link's :)
[03:14] <wizard00> tried that. said i didnt have the file
[03:14] <Izinucs> wizard00: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[03:14] <dninja> sorry brjann, my network is broken tonight, missed what you said
[03:14] <dninja> brjann, im compiling .o files
[03:14] <dninja> brjann, and linking them at the end
[03:14] <Izinucs> wizard00: then you have to restart firefox
[03:15] <brjann> dninja: are you both compiling and linking with the -pg flag?
[03:15] <dninja> yes
[03:15] <dninja> brjann, http://codepad.org/1W3kwvmC
[03:15] <coop> above question on muffled audio really meant- is there a software fix or do i just have crappy internal speakers
[03:16] <brjann> dninja: okay, that all looks good. only other thing I can think of is that your program is exiting abnormally, before it can write the gprof file
[03:16] <dninja> brjann, well im getting to EXIT_SUCCESS
[03:17] <wizard00> hings working :(( im goingback to windows xp!!! ubuntu isnt user friendly at all :'(
[03:17] <pw-toxic_> I cant find the following option: I want a window to be maximized, if i double click it - any hints?
[03:17] <detective_> May i get some help please :)
[03:17] <dninja> i am executing some processes from my process, so maybe thats screwing it up somehow
[03:17] <talntid> wizard00, have a good time removing spyware :)
[03:17] <pw-toxic_> furthermore, im looking for a snapping windows like in windows 7.. if i drag a window to the top, i want it maximized
[03:17] <Izinucs> !ask | detective_
[03:17] <detective_> ok
[03:17] <wizard00> thats true......ubuntu doesnt get viruses does it??
[03:18] <talntid> nope.
[03:18] <brjann> dninja: the internet says: "Make sure that your program exits with a call to exit library function or with a return statement in your main function"
[03:18] <wizard00> how can i learn how to get better with ubuntu??
[03:18] <talntid> but, ubuntu is not for the kind of person who isn't willing to spend a little time learning how to do something...
[03:18] <wizard00> it takes practice??
[03:18] <talntid> everything does.
[03:18] <brjann> dninja: perhaps a dumb question, but you do have write permission in your working directory, right? :)
[03:19] <dninja> brjann, yeah i do
[03:19] <talntid> but, it takes thinking about things in a different way, and sometimes googling for answers
[03:19] <Iceman_B> eergh, using xrandr to set 1440x900 mode again streched my desktop, but not actuially the resolution >_<
[03:19] <wizard00> but its so hard. and my distro that i have is outdated so i canr download software from the software center
[03:19] <dninja> brjann, i feel stupid though cause i figured it out
[03:19] <donvito> can i use
[03:19] <dninja> brjann, my program changes the working directory, so the gmon.out went into the working dir
[03:19] <donvito> adobe photoshop on ubuntu
[03:19] <donvito> ?
[03:19] <detective_> I need help finding a file that i have downloaded via terminal(is that better?)
[03:19] <blakkheim> talntid: i disagree with you there
[03:19] <Iceman_B> ill try reverting to the 173 driver
[03:19] <Iceman_B> bbl
[03:19] <pw-toxic_> donvito, there is a cracked version of photoshop
[03:19] <pw-toxic_> CS2
[03:19] <pw-toxic_> it works with wine
[03:19] <donvito> whats wine
[03:20] <pw-toxic_> i didnt get my original CS4 working until today
[03:20] <blakkheim> !wine > donvito
[03:20] <brjann> dninja: hehe, glad to hear it :) no worries!
[03:20] <pw-toxic_> donvito, wine is a windows emulator
[03:20] <talntid> wizard00, even if your distro is outdated, if you show us the real errors it is giving, as opposed to "it doesn't work" -- we can help better
[03:20] <talntid> blakkheim, about what?
[03:20] <blakkheim> pw-toxic_: wine is not an emulator
[03:20] <blakkheim> talntid: ubuntu needing time to learn
[03:20] <wizard00> ok brb! :)
[03:20] <pw-toxic_> blakkheim, what then?
[03:20] <dninja> brjann, thanks though, you helped
[03:20] <blakkheim> pw-toxic_: windows api layer
[03:20] <brjann> dninja: no problem!
[03:20] <pw-toxic_> donvito, if you are a professionall designer, i think you should use windows for working on a design ;(
[03:21] <pw-toxic_> blakkheim, yes and therfore it emulates windows?!
[03:21] <talntid> blakkheim, that's silly. are you saying you know everything there is to know about ubuntu, and you just knew it when you were born?
[03:21] <dns53> pw-toxic_ it is a wrapper that allows you to use windows programs, an emulator pretends to be a cpu etc
[03:21] <pw-toxic_> blakkheim, it makes the program feel beeing windows
[03:21] <wizard00> This program is currently not installable, but should be available in the 'universe' repository. Would you like to enable this repository? (it keeps saying that)
[03:21] <blakkheim> talntid: i'm saying ubuntu is extremely easy to learn to use, even if you've never used linux. it hides the real os and puts up a shiny gui for newbies to use
[03:21] <pw-toxic_> dns53, emulators do not have to be on a CPU basis.. you can also emulate a child or an animal
[03:22] <pw-toxic_> donvito, what do you need photoshop for?
[03:22] <schwert> finally managed to fix my corrupted filesystem... but the whole /usr folder got trashed in the process
[03:22] <talntid> blakkheim, then you just said my point. you do need to learn it though. I didn't say it was hard to learn, did i? :)
[03:22] <kassykillerface> Does anyone know why a HP webcam-50 wouldnt work on blogtv but would on stickam?
[03:22] <talntid> wizard00, did you tell it "yes, enable it!" (or something like that?)
[03:22] <wizard00> idk. ill try
[03:22] <xangua> wizard00: then enable the repository :S
[03:22] <blakkheim> talntid: "ubuntu is not for the kind of person who isn't willing to spend a little time learning" is what you said
[03:23] <blakkheim> talntid: that's where i disagreed
[03:23] <pw-toxic_> I have another question: I remember having used a backup tool for ubuntu, which can save the diffs from several other backups.. i dont remember the name of it
[03:23] <pw-toxic_> i found it in a package of usefull ubuntu tools
[03:23] <blakkheim> pw-toxic_: rsync?
[03:23] <Dr_Willis> 'computers are not for the kind of people who isent willing to spend a little timne learning'
[03:23] <talntid> right, a little time. meaning they can't just jump in and use it 100% productively without any learning...

[03:23] <blakkheim> wizard00: breezy isn't supported anymore
[03:23] <pw-toxic_> blakkheim, rsync is a command line tool - i'm talking of a gui
[03:24] <talntid> ok, wizard00, you are using breezy badger. go get karmic koala :)
[03:24] <blakkheim> pw-toxic_: you don't really need a gui for that, but there are rsync guis available..
[03:24] <talntid> aka 9.10
[03:24] <Dr_Willis> wizard00:  you need to change teh  us.archive.ubuntu to point to some archive/out-of-date-storage server.
[03:24] <pw-toxic_> blakkheim, i guess the tool uses rsync
[03:24] <brjann> pw-toxic_: I've been using backintime for the last few months
[03:24] <pw-toxic_> blakkheim, rsync is just too complicated to manage a bigger amount of backups
[03:24] <pw-toxic_> brjann, i remember this name - i think it was this. Ill check this out. Thanks
[03:24] <kassykillerface> Could anyone tell me how to get drivers for a webcam so it will work on blogTV
[03:24] <kassykillerface> ?
[03:25] <brjann> pw-toxic_: you're welcome :)
[03:25] <blakkheim> pw-toxic_: i use it for fairly large backups on multiple systems and don't find it complicated
[03:25] <Dr_Willis> kassykillerface:  if it works for one flash based web site. but not another.. then its some issue with that sites flash programming - most likely
[03:25] <blakkheim> pw-toxic_: is there something you prefer over it?
[03:25] <pw-toxic_> blakkheim, its not about the size of the backup, but the amount of several different backups and how to manage them
[03:25] <pw-toxic_> blakkheim, i just cant remember simple commands that i only use  times a year
[03:26] <kassykillerface> I'm running normal ubuntu on a netbook. Could that have anything to do with it?
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> !info unison
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> kassykillerface:  if its on a web site using flash.. and the web cam does work in 'cheese' or other apps. then its a site/flash issue
[03:26] <kassykillerface> Alright.
[03:26] <pw-toxic_> brjann, do you know how i can install it? i cant find that package
[03:27] <brjann> pw-toxic_: yes, the packages are backintime-gnome or backintime-kde, depending on your desktop environment
[03:27] <atomik> is there a way i can change the default ubuntu icon? (ie the circular icon that sits in the top-left corner?
[03:27] <atomik> is it an image file i can swap out with another?
[03:28] <Dr_Willis> atomik:  yes. Theres ways. But some ways dont work - depending on what icon theme you are using.
[03:28] <atomik> oh, i see
[03:28] <pw-toxic_> brjann, i just found in the internet, that by 9.04 backinetime is not in the standard repository - so i have to install it manually
[03:28] <donvito> !pdf
[03:28] <pw-toxic_> brjann, and i'm afraid of updating my router ;)
[03:28] <Dr_Willis> atomik:  you can use the 'ubuntu-tweak' tool to change it. and its just a few clicks.  but SOME icon themes dont work properly with the change.
[03:28] <brjann> pw-toxic_: ah, okay. gotcha :)
[03:28] <atomik> thanks dr willis, i'll give that a try
[03:28] <Dr_Willis> atomik:  or select a theme. and  rename it. copy it to .themes and change what you want
[03:28] <detective_> I know you guys are busy but i really need some help :( with finding a file that i downloaded in the terminal
[03:29] <brjann> pw-toxic_: when I was using jaunty I used the deb from their website, too. seemed to work fine
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> detective_:   downloaded with what command exactly?
[03:29] <dsnyders> detective_, telling us you need help won't get you help.  Asking a specific question will.
[03:29] <donvito> !pdf reader
[03:30] <donvito> wich one is good pdf reader for karmic
[03:30] <brjann> donvito: evince is the default, i believe
[03:30] <detective_> wget http://aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz/uif2iso.zip
[03:30] <Dr_Willis> detective_:  then it is in whatever directrory you were at when you ran that command
[03:31] <atomik> ubuntu tweak is awesome
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> detective_:  you could do 'sudo updatedb' then 'locate uif2iso.zip' and it should find it.
[03:31] <joineric> has anyone else had problems with their mouse disappearing after installing the ati catalyst?
[03:33] <detective_> Dr_Willis, i tryed those commands and nothing happened
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> detective_:   the updatedb command should of taken some time to complete. if locate then did not find it. Then you downloaded it to some directory/location that locate does not 'index' such as /media/SOMTHING
[03:34] <pw-toxic_> brjann, yes this is the program i was looking for
[03:34] <Dr_Willis> detective_:  check your 'history' log and see where you were at.. or just redownload the file
[03:34] <brjann> pw-toxic_: glad to hear it!
[03:34] <pw-toxic_> brjann, maybe you can answer me some additional questsions: how do you use this program? do you use auto backups?
[03:34] <pw-toxic_> brjann, do you backup everything or only important data?
[03:34] <pw-toxic_> brjann, where to do you place the backup.. external HDD.. ?!
[03:35] <nonameNN> no one talks?
[03:36] <brjann> pw-toxic_: I've set it up so that my Documents/ directory is scanned every five minutes, and all the snapshots are just saved in my home directory somewhere.
[03:36] <bazhang> nonameNN, this is a support channel ; chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> nonameNN:  Hmm?
[03:36] <pw-toxic_> brjann, how big is your documents folder?
[03:36] <nonameNN> bazhang: thanks
[03:36] <pw-toxic_> brjann, the folders i back up are several GB and have more than 100k of files
[03:36] <pw-toxic_> brjann, i'm webdeveloper and i have LOTS of small files
[03:36] <pw-toxic_> and some bigger from design
[03:37] <brjann> pw-toxic_: That shouldn't be a problem; backintime uses rsync under the hood
[03:37] <pw-toxic_> brjann, so its no problem if there is a BIG folder where only a small part of it changes
[03:37] <pw-toxic_> hmm
[03:37] <pw-toxic_> and if it makes 3 backups
[03:37] <pw-toxic_> can i access all 3 of it?
[03:37] <brjann> pw-toxic_: nope, no problem at all. it will only copy the diffs.
[03:38] <brjann> pw-toxic_: yes. on the left hand side of the window, you can see the snapshots you've taken, and view each of them as if they're actual folders.
[03:38] <pw-toxic_> brjann, sounds really cool.. i think i use the automatic one
[03:38] <fadaken> is there a package that will ask me if i want to mount a cd/dvd and show the hidden files?
[03:38] <pw-toxic_> i think i will also backup my 40GB music folder ;)
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> fadaken:  what hidden files?  in linux files starting with a . are
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> fadaken:  what hidden files?  in linux files starting with a . are  'hidden' by the file manager as an option.
[03:39] <fadaken> i'm trying to install a windows application
[03:39] <brjann> pw-toxic_: the user's manual is pretty good, and explains all the features very well.
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> fadaken:  so - its some how hidden?
[03:40] <pw-toxic_> brjann, which i can find where?
[03:40] <D3RGPS31> since 9.10 came out, i've been having issues with 2D graphics (scroll, video, moving windows) being choppy, but 3D is fine. I'm using fglrx for ati 4850; i've tried all drivers from 9.4 to 10.2, no improvement. what can i do besides downgrading to ubuntu 9.04 or using radeon drivers from xorg-edger's ppa?
[03:40] <brjann> pw-toxic_: launch the program and click the question mark at the top of the window
[03:40] <blakkheim> D3RGPS31: don't buy from ati, enemy of your freedom
[03:40] <acu> Houston we got a problem :)  - I have used partimage to backup an entire system and I was almost to restore it - however the initial system has a bigger hard disk than the one I restore to - though it was very little used - the partimage tells me that it cannot restore the partition from image file because dthe destination hard disk is smaller than the original - any suggestions to bypass this ?
[03:40] <Dusty_> hey folks!
[03:40] <pw-toxic_> brjann, thx
[03:40] <D3RGPS31> blakkeim: i've considered buying nvidia, but i'm too poor to buy anything rite now
[03:40] <brjann> pw-toxic_: no problem :)
[03:41] <fadaken> well i tried to follow a guild on installing World of warcraft and i've been failing very badly
[03:41] <Dusty_> I'm having some trouble getting the ODBC connector working on Linux. I'm using unixODBC with the mysql 5.1 ODBC driver, but I get the following error message: Data source name not found and no default driver specified
[03:41] <Dusty_> does anyone have any helpful hints? :3
[03:41] <brjann> acu: the partimage FAQ says no, restoring to smaller partitions isn't supported. sorry :(
[03:42] <shiverz> any |-|@<Er2
[03:43] <pw-toxic_> brjann, if i'm annoying just dont answer:  i found an autoremove: smart remove option. Sounds cool. Do you use it?
[03:43] <shiverz> any |-|@<Er2
[03:43] <shiverz> any hackerz ??
[03:43] <joineric> D3RGPS31: dont buy ATI, at least not right now, I got a 5870 and I have had nothing but problems with the current drivers
[03:43] <brjann> pw-toxic_: I do, yes
[03:43] <Dusty_> anyone know anything about odbc connectors?
[03:43] <shiverz> any hackerz ??
[03:44] <dj_segfault> Dusty_: A little
[03:44] <D3RGPS31> joineric: so, no real help :/
[03:44] <Dusty_> I just need help getting mine setup ):
[03:44] <zane> hi i would like to setup a remote kvm for my ubuntu desktop can any one give me some tips please
[03:44] <Dusty_> I cant get the environ variables set I dont think
[03:44] <brjann> pw-toxic_: and don't worry about being annoying, we're here to help :)
[03:44] <Dusty_> Zane: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/
[03:44] <dj_segfault> Dusty_: What are you trying to do specifically, and what's happening?
[03:44] <Dusty_> zane: also try http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/
[03:44] <pw-toxic_> brjann, i'm just wondering if i should use that.. because i have a fileserver with 5TB here
[03:45] <joineric> D3RGPS31: I'm trying to get help myself, every time I install the catalyst and driver my mouse disappears
[03:45] <zane> Dusty_,  thanks
[03:45] <D3RGPS31> i've run into the same thing
[03:45] <brjann> pw-toxic_: it really depends on how often you're going to take snapshots. you don't want to have to scroll through 10000 snapshots just to get to last month, do you? :)
[03:45] <Dusty_> dj_segfault: well, I have a VB6 application running in WINE. It uses an ODBC connector, and I'm hooking unixODBC into wine's builtin ODBC manager, but I cant configure the basics of unixODBC right. Dno how to.
[03:45] <pw-toxic_> brjann, one per day
[03:45] <dj_segfault> Is there a command to verify the files in a package?  I installed mythexport, but the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/mythexport.conf does not exist on my system.
[03:45] <Dusty_> zane: no problem.
[03:46] <shiverz> any hackerz here ???/
[03:46] <pw-toxic_> brjann, i make backups for hardware failures - not for human failures
[03:46] <karma_police> any quick and easy tutorial about sharing files over a network with windows and linux pc's?
[03:46] <shiverz> any hackers here ???
[03:46] <karma_police> main pc with the files is running ubuntu
[03:46] <brjann> pw-toxic_: then you probably don't have anything to worry about. if you feel like you've got too many old snapshots, you can always turn on smart remove
[03:46] <dj_segfault> Dusty_: Ouch.  Getting wine involved is beyond me. Sorry.
[03:46] <PeskyJ> karma_police: that's real easy, use samba
[03:46] <brjann> !offtopic | shiverz
[03:47] <pw-toxic_> brjann, so you turn on smart remove so that you get a good overview of your snapshots - not for space reasons?
[03:47] <shiverz> k thnks
[03:47] <karma_police> i have dl samba.. what next? no GUI?
[03:47] <Dusty_> dj_segfault: well I figure it's jsut a really basic configuration error not even dealing with wine. just setting the basics up for unixODBC
[03:47] <PeskyJ> karma_police: it has a web interface, but this probably isn't the channel for questions about samba
[03:48] <marc__> Take a computer that have 2 network card.  the main OS (ubuntu server) is connected to the local network using eth0, can a VM use the other card (eth1) and that card would be connected to another network?
[03:48] <brjann> pw-toxic_: yes, more or less. For keeping histories of documents and such, I usually want to have a couple of backups of recent work, plus some historical backups just in case.
[03:48] <karma_police> ok. is there a samba channel?
[03:48] <karma_police> or tutorial?
[03:48] <PeskyJ> karma_police: dunno, try it... and also search for one as they might be on a different irc network
[03:48] <Dr_Willis> karma_police:  samba has 10000's of docs and guides and tutorial web pages
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> !info samba-doc | karma_police
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> !samba
[03:49] <brjann> karma_police: yes, #samba
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> I dont suggest using swat :) but if you do use swat.. backup your configs first
[03:49] <karma_police> cool
[03:49] <nbren> er...what does "A follow by b follow by c" mean? i'm a english learner
[03:50] <karma_police> is there s cript that will automatically mount my secondary hdd and activate firestarter upon startup?
[03:50] <karma_police> *script
[03:50] <PeskyJ> nbren: it means do A then do B then do C
[03:50] <nbren> iok
[03:50] <Dr_Willis> nbren:  'A B C' (a followed by B, followed by C' :)
[03:50] <nbren> thanks
[03:50] <khaerul> game onlain
[03:50] <brjann> nbren: there are ubuntu channels in a number of different languages, if you'd feel more comfortable
[03:51] <coop> looking for a solution to manage flip camera files on ubuntu
[03:51] <karma_police> whenever i reboot i have to manually mount my hdd and start my firewall.. is there a startup manager that can handle this?
[03:51] <blakkheim> karma_police: man fstab for the hdd mounting
[03:51] <dj_segfault> coop: Doesn't it just look like a USB hard drive to Ubuntu?
[03:51] <blakkheim> karma_police: your firewall should start as a daemon without you doing anything
[03:52] <coop> yes, but cant upload files w/o flipshare software
[03:52] <karma_police> i have to select it from the applications list and it wants authentication
[03:52] <timyeung> hey, I want to write a scrip to control amarok that is on playing on my server. is there somewhere where I can learn python quickly?
[03:53] <brjann> timyeung: i'm sure the folks in #python would know a few places :)
[03:53] <dj_segfault> coop: Do you mean copy from the flip to your computer or from your computer to the flip?
[03:53] <jsec> timyeung, the matrix?
[03:53] <jsec> >_>
[03:53] <timyeung> haha
[03:54] <coop> dj_segfault: I want to be able to either upload to flipshare, which requires their software to do it was hoping someone had aworkaround
[03:54] <dj_segfault> Is there a dpkg or apt command to verify all the files in a package are there and have the right permissions, like RPM has?
[03:54] <karma_police> i am constantly reminded of how much of a noob i really am
[03:54] <coop> dj_segfault: copying to hd works ok, but difficult to share with others
[03:54] <dj_segfault> coop: Again, I thought it just appears as a USB hard drive you can drag files to and from.
[03:54] <karma_police> #samba
[03:55] <dj_segfault> coop: How would you like to share them with others?  What exactly would you like to do?
[03:55] <coop> dj_segfault: u can, that works! but once on hd cant upload them w/o share software
[03:56] <dj_segfault> coop: I asked you what you mean by upload before.  It's an ambiguous term.
[03:56] <PeskyJ> karma_police: there's a command you can use to control startup services, but I can't remember it - maybe someone else can?
[03:56] <trism> timyeung: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/ covers the basics you'll need for python and http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=117&t=74202 shows you how to control it with dbus
[03:56] <googeek> Help please. Can't manage to get my new laptop's internal speakers to mute when i plug in my headphones  http://paste.ubuntu.com/385472/
[03:56] <sal_> hello frm ny
[03:56] <dj_segfault> googeek: Let me guess.  An HP?
[03:56] <sal_> Ubuntu is It !!
[03:57] <sal_>  I truley  luv it
[03:57] <dj_segfault> sal_: How is that two feet of snow sitting on ya?
[03:57] <sal_> lol
[03:57] <googeek> I know it's probably a manner of adding a command to the alsa-base file, but i don't know what to add
[03:57] <brjann> PeskyJ: are you thinking of sysv-rc-conf?
[03:57] <sal_>  pls dont remind me my back is still hurtin frm shovelin
[03:57] <coop> dj_segfault sorry for being aloof, flip has an online service to share the videos w others, so in win/ac you plug camera in usb, proprietary software organizes and uploads to share service, that sofware isnt supported on lnux
[03:57] <dj_segfault> googeek: Is it an HP?
[03:58] <PeskyJ> brjann: don't think so, it's something like <cmd> <service> on|off
[03:58] <Younder> isn't the cffi darcs version stable?
[03:58] <googeek>  dj_segfault: compaq, but for all intents and pourposes, yeah
[03:59] <dj_segfault> coop: I understand now.  I would just use youtube or one of it's hundreds of clones.  If they set it up proprietary I'm not sure there's a way around that.
[03:59] <sal_>  Hey there any one know a good  video chat program that ...clones ooo voo
[03:59] <brjann> PeskyJ: yes, that's how sysv-rc-conf works. though it may go by different names, i suppose. i've seen update-rc.d also, but I can't remember if that was ubuntu
[03:59] <PeskyJ> brjann: actually - I think I'm thinking of some command use din CentOS
[04:00] <dj_segfault> googeek: I see that question all the time, and have tried to fix it myself.  I know HP did a wonky thing and has separate outputs from the sound chip for headphones and speakers, instead of using the switch in the headphone jack.  I have not heard of a solution myself.
[04:01] <googeek> dj_segfault : dammit. well, thanks anyway
[04:01] <dj_segfault> googeek: At least you know it's not you.
[04:01] <googeek> dj_segfault : would i have better luck with a toshiba?
[04:01] <sal_> hello
[04:02] <dj_segfault> googeek: I have only seen that problem with HP.
[04:02] <googeek> dj_segfault: well, yeah it makes me feel a little less crappy, I've tried three or four solutions already, none of them work at all
[04:02] <pw-toxic_> why is there no thunderbird 3 for ubuntu?
[04:02] <dj_segfault> googeek:  Trust me, I've walked people through playing with the mixer, etc.  No go.
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_:  there may be a PPA or other unofficial repos for it
[04:03] <phat> hi guys, I'm currently using the nvidia driver version 185, would there be any risk in upgrading to the 190 version?
[04:03] <googeek> dj_segfault : so, basically, I'm out of luck with this box if I want headphones? (which i totally need)
[04:03] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, i'm sure there is, but i dont want to add unofficial ones ;(
[04:03] <googeek> phat : not that i know of, it made all my games work on my last system
[04:03] <Dusty_> anyone know the basics about settings up unixODBC?
[04:03] <dj_segfault> googeek: There must be HP-specific forums someone might know on.
[04:04] <brjann> googeek: back with kernel version 2.6.20 at least some toshibas had the same problem.
[04:04] <bob6> so I have a Dell studio 1747 and I was wodering if anyone would be able to help me get the tuner card it's got working?
[04:04] <frankS2> phat: shouldt be a risk... but why do yu want to upgrade if they already work?
[04:04] <googeek> dj_segfault : has anyone tried editing the actual alsa-base file?
[04:04] <dsnyders> phat, over the past week I've been monitoring this site there's been a large number of people with nvidia issues (myself included).  My recommendation is that if it is working don't futz with it.
[04:05] <Boots32M> Hi all. I'm runnin a netbook with 9.10 netbook remix and want to delete icons on my desktop.... how do I do this?
[04:05] <dj_segfault> googeek: Not to my knowledge.
[04:05] <Boots32M> brb:)
[04:05] <bob6> no one?
[04:05] <phat> dsnyders: ya, it seems whenever I want to upgrade I get screwed. Still, I want to use CUDA and I've heard that it only works with driver version 190. Is that correct?
[04:05] <googeek> brjann : that's what I thought... I am just crossing my fingers they'll somehow fix it in lynx, since i don't want to return my brand-new-already-removed-windows-stickers box
[04:06] <olskolirc> do we have a softcam device like manycam?
[04:06] <coop> trying to figure out how to enable alsa? cant tell whether my sound card supports it?  what specific alsa item should i grab from synaptic
[04:06] <dsnyders> phat, I've got no idea.
[04:06] <phat> aside from that, all graphics are working fine.
[04:06] <brjann> googeek: there are a couple of suggestions to use the lenovo model in alsa-base
[04:06] <olskolirc> softcam for ubuntu?
[04:06] <user1_> Is there any grammar check package in ubuntu
[04:06] <brjann> googeek: e.g., options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo

[04:07] <phat> dsnyders: ok thanks for the help.
[04:07] <googeek> dj_segfault: well, thanks for your help, I think I'll try editing that file a few more times in a few more ways, via the tutorial i found in the forums, and see if i can't get it to be nice
[04:07] <dsnyders> phat, it was more an expression of opinion than actual help.  For all I know it will work fine.
[04:07] <dj_segfault> googeek: If you find a solution PM me.  Lots of people would like to know
[04:07] <brjann> googeek: check out the last 20 or so posts here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/109838
[04:09] <brjann> googeek: some of that may be helpful. looks like it's been an ongoing thing for the last few years
[04:09] <googeek> brjann: Yeah, I tried  a version of that fix, only imputing what I thought I should for my specifics, it was a no-go but maybe I'm just not doing things right, i'm still pretty much an uber noob to the world of linux.
[04:09] <stueh> Hello everyone, quick question. I'm using Ubuntu Server 9.10, have just installed it in a VM with two network interfaces (preparing it for deployment on ESXi). I need to tell apt-get to use eth1 instead of eth0, how would I do this?
[04:09] <coop> when i issue lpay -l, reports Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC662 rev1 - can i use ALSA with this card?
[04:10] <Boots32M> Hi all. I need something to be able to modify, delete, or see what icons point to on my desktop. 9.10 NBR
[04:10] <phat> anyone have any info about CUDA? specifically, how to start developing with it on karmic?
[04:10] <PeskyJ> brjann: the command I was thinking of is chkconfig - and does appear to be available in linux
[04:10] <PeskyJ> brjann: I mean in ubuntu
[04:10] <brjann> PeskyJ: ah. not familiar with that one
[04:11] <dsnyders> Hi all!  I'm having an issue with kpovmodeler.  The views are not behaving properly.  See: http://imagebin.org/85792
[04:11] <stueh> Is anyone able to help me with getting apt-get to use eth1?
[04:11] <googeek> brjann: thanks for your help
[04:11] <Boots32M> (0)   (0) looking for an Icon manipulator in ubuntu nbr:)
[04:11] <brjann> googeek: no problem, good luck :)
[04:11] <ZykoticK9> dsnyders, still haven't found a fix for that eh?  hope tonight you find one.  good luck man
[04:12] <dj_segfault> Boots32M: gimp?
[04:12] <timyeung> What does this mean?:* #python :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services
[04:12] <ZykoticK9> !register > timyeung
[04:12] <Boots32M> dj_segfault, sounds good probably available from synaptec manager??? what exactly does it do though?
[04:13] <phat> anyone have any info about CUDA? specifically, how to start developing with it on karmic?
[04:13] <dj_segfault> stueh: You don't tell individual programs what ethernet device to use, you set up your routing so requests for IP addresses goes to the right card.
[04:13] <NCS_One> hi
[04:13] <phat> the drivers, gcc version, etc.
[04:13] <PeskyJ> brjann: easy and useful - worth a look :)
[04:13] <dsnyders> ZykoticK9, Nope.  I've corrupted gnome, fouled up compiz, befuddled xwindows, and gotten them all straightened out again, but this issue still remains.
[04:13] <dj_segfault> Boots32M: Full graphics editor like Photoshop.  Very powerful, not very obvious.  Like photoshop ;)
[04:13] <brjann> PeskyJ: next time i have a service that needs wrangling i will investigate!
[04:13] <ZykoticK9> dsnyders, lol - well at least your trying!
[04:14] <stueh> dj_segfault: I'm new to Ubuntu Server, any chance on some advice on hiw to do this? :)
[04:14] <Boots32M> Oh.... can I modify, delete and, or change the appearance of icons on my desktop with that???
[04:14] <brjann> phat: is there anyone in #cuda? they might be able to help
[04:14] <dj_segfault> stueh: What exactly do you want to do?
[04:14] <Boots32M> I'm probably going to get that anywy:)
[04:14] <brjann> phat: oops, sorry. #cuda
[04:15] <NCS_One> the settings in my ~/.Xdefaults are not loaded at start, I have to open it and save it, any one know why ?
[04:15] <phat> there's a #cuda channel? awesome.
[04:15] <justin22885> hey..i cant get my ubuntu to connect
[04:15] <justin22885> i guess maybe my driver isnt working properly for the wifi.. its a ralink driver
[04:15] <justin22885> ralink wifi.. anyway, it says its connected to my router, but i cant get internet on it
[04:15] <brjann> phat: yep, looks like it's got 47 people in it
[04:16] <justin22885> nevermind.. it works now
[04:16] <brjann> justin22885: glad we could help! ;)
[04:16] <PeskyJ> justin22885: ugh - wifi in linux, I've had major headaches trying to get different cards to work which usually end if me giving up... i.e. it either works out or the box or you're up for a lot of misery
[04:16] <dj_segfault> stueh: Sorry, got your query mixed up with someone else.  I would use firestarter to set up routing and firewall.  Very user friendly
[04:17] <SilverFox> I'm using gdm.  How do I make it so one of my users doesn't run gnome/kde, but instead just run an xterm.  I tried putting xterm & in ~/.xinitrc, but that seems to be ignored.  How do I go about this?
[04:17] <stueh> dj_segfault: Well, I'm installing fog imaging client on a fresh install of Ubuntu Server in a VM. Now, part of this, it uses apt-get. My network config is eth0 is an internal virtual network with no outside connection to the internet, eth1 is using eth1 on the host. Now, I have set eth0 to static, and eth1 is using dhcp. With eth0 turned off, I can use apt-get (aka run the ./install file, which uses apt-get as part of that), but I need eth0 
[04:17] <stueh> dj_segfault: That might have been a bit long, tell me where it cut off :)
[04:18] <pw-toxic_> When i move the mouse over the network icon of the gnome toolbar, it says that "Wireless Networks are disable". How can i enable them? I know here are a lot of wlan networks
[04:18] <PeskyJ> pw-toxic_: click on that very same network icon and it will bring up a menu
[04:19] <NCS_One> pw-toxic_: right click it
[04:19] <NCS_One> and check activate network
[04:19] <Dr_Willis> that icon has a differnt menu on the left and right clicks - i belive
[04:19] <pw-toxic_> NCS_One, yes i did, but the entry with "enable wireless" is deactivates
[04:20] <Dr_Willis> thats a little confuseing :)
[04:20] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_:  you dont have a switch on the machine to turn wireless on/off ?
[04:20] <dj_segfault> stueh: It left off as "but i need eth0" but I get the idea.  The idea is your routing table dictates what port to use to reach different networks. If you type "route -n" you will see what I mean.
[04:20] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, no i dont have. Its a Lenovo Thinkpad edge
[04:21] <NCS_One> the settings in my ~/.Xdefaults are not loaded at start, I have to open it and save it, any one know why ?
[04:21] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, i have previousvily installed ubuntu inside of windows, and there networking worked
[04:21] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_:  sure theres not some special fn-keys? or some hidden switches?
[04:21] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, now i am on a clean install of ubuntu
[04:21] <stueh> but I need eth0 turned on to run the install, as I need it to talk to another VM
[04:21] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, oh . ill check this one. Good idea
[04:21] <stueh> dj_segfault: but I need eth0 turned on to run the install, as I need it to talk to another VM
[04:21] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_:  ubuntu inside winows uses special TAP(?) devices wher its forwarding through the windows box :) so it not the same
[04:22] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_:  on my netbook  i had to boot to windows. use the switch to make SURE the wireles was on.. then reboted to windows.
[04:22] <Zer> Err... what's the deal with an update to sudo?
[04:22] <stueh> dj_segfault: Okay, now I get it
[04:22] <xyz> hi
[04:22] <Dr_Willis> the switch on it would turn wireless OFF but neve back on :)
[04:22] <itai> hi, i'm using karmic on a desktop, whenever i leave the computer running for more than an hour it completely locks down and i cannnot 'bring it back to life', only hard reboot works, what do?
[04:22] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, yes.. the switch button doesnt work on ubuntu ;(
[04:22] <pw-toxic_> ill start windows
[04:22] <stueh> Well would you look at that
[04:22] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_:  there may be some tweaks to make it work.
[04:22] <dj_segfault> stueh: You can have different cards going to different networks, and even the same card going to different networks, if your network physical topology is set up that way.  But that routing table is the key, not your application.
[04:23] <stueh> The gateway for eth1 (aka the dhcp configured eth) is not in the list O.o
[04:23] <Remmaze> Remmaze is in THA HOUSE....!!
[04:23] <hikenboot> can you patch kernel headers or do you need the full source?
[04:23] <SilverFox> you have to have the source in order to have something to patch
[04:24] <NCS_One> itai: check the sistem > preferences > energy
[04:25] <hikenboot> ok next question whats the difference between linux-source and linuxs source final-union
[04:25] <itai> NCS_One, ok, what excatly am i checking for?
[04:25] <NCS_One> itai: is it a laptop ?
[04:25] <itai> NCS_One, no., desktop, also , i dont have 'energy' in system>pref
[04:25] <brjann> Zer: what do you mean? there was a security update released
[04:26] <brjann> itai: does it lock up when it's idle, or when you're using it?
[04:26] <itai> brjann, idle
[04:27] <brjann> itai: i'd suspect one of three things: problems with power management (acpi), overheating, or bad memory
[04:27] <hikenboot> never mind figured it out
[04:27] <pw-toxic_> i have a small offtopic question.. im looking for cool wallpapers and themes.. is there an ubuntu like theme/wallpaper page?
[04:27] <itai> brjann, brand new computer. so what do i do now?
[04:28] <NCS_One> pw-toxic_: gnome-look
[04:28] <dsnyders> hikenboot, do share
[04:28] <pw-toxic_> NCS_One, thx
[04:28] <bastid_raZor> pw-toxic_: gnome-look.org
[04:28] <itai> brjann, i'll go acpi first, what do i check for?
[04:28] <bazhang> pw-toxic_, /msg ubottu themes for links
[04:28] <maruku> anyone recommend a room for shell scripting?
[04:28] <brjann> itai: well, testing memory is probably easiest. in the ubuntu boot menu, there should be a memtest option. select that and let it run for a few hours (or overnight)
[04:28] <pw-toxic_> already found it by google gnome look ;)
[04:28] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_:  thres also tools 'gnome-art' an 'gnome-artng' that can get papers from diff3ernt sites
[04:28] <dj_segfault> stueh: <Adam Savage>Well THERE's your PROBLEM</Adam Savage>
[04:28] <Dr_Willis> maruku:  #bash
[04:29] <maruku> awesome, ty
[04:29] <itai> brjann, ok, will it fix it?
[04:29] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, i just think that the colors of 9.10 look like shit.. this makes me really mad :D
[04:29] <NCS_One> where do I save xterm settings ?
[04:29] <NCS_One> the settings in my ~/.Xdefaults are not loaded at start, I have to open it and save it, any one know why ?
[04:29] <meanburrito920_> why is it that opengl programs tend to kill compiz?
[04:29] <stueh> dj_segfault: Yeah, it's a problem with the way I've set up the virtual network interface (aka the guest using a physical one on the host) >.>
[04:30] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, enable wlan on windows helped - i now have wlan on ubuntu
[04:30] <stueh> dj_segfault: Thanks for the help!
[04:30] <dsnyders> Hi all!  I'm having an issue with kpovmodeler.  The views are not behaving properly.  See: http://imagebin.org/85792   It's supposed to look like this: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-graphics/kpovmodeler/defaultviewlayout.png
[04:30] <brjann> itai: no, it will just tell you if there's something wrong with the memory. it just runs tests over and over verifying that the memory functions correctly.
[04:30] <dj_segfault> stueh: No problem.  Go forth and geek out.
[04:31] <brjann> itai: if it displays errors, you need some new memory. if it's a new computer it's probably still under warranty.
[04:31] <itai> brjann, ok , thanks
[04:31] <brjann> itai: as for acpi, read here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[04:32] <stueh> dj_segfault: Shall do! Seeya mate :)
[04:32] <brjann> itai: that explains how to use boot options, and you can try the "acpi=off" option and see if that improves stability
[04:33] <NCS_One> itai: probably disabling the option that sleeps the pc after 1 hour
[04:34] <Boots32M> Hello all:) anyone know of an application that enables the user to delete icons and see where they point?
[04:35] <NCS_One> in my ubuntu and translated to English its in Sistem > preferences > Energy manegement
[04:35] <brjann> NCS_One: ack! i didn't even think of that. itai, check System > Preferences > Power Management first, and make sure it's not set to put the computer to sleep.
[04:35] <itai> brjann, let me check
[04:35] <unitedpotsmokers> hello guys good morning... i want to remove unused program at startup application. What program we can safely remove?
[04:35] <letalis> Boots32M: are you referring to symlinks?
[04:35] <Remmaze> how do i kill update manager, wats is the command line?
[04:35] <hikenboot> dsnyders, final union add support for newer unmerged kernels for union file system
[04:36] <unitedpotsmokers> i am using ubuntu karmic
[04:36] <pw-toxic_> Remmaze, ps -e and you see all processes
[04:36] <pw-toxic_> then look for the number and do kill <process numeber>  ie  kill 1235
[04:36] <nytek_> unitedpotsmokers: preference -> session and startup
[04:36] <shazbotmcnasty> anyone know of a web interface for like gedit, vim ,or som,ething similar
[04:36] <shazbotmcnasty> just a huge input field
[04:36] <SpaceTraveler> I'm trying to get MythTV (Ubuntu 9.10) to boot without a monitor. Any good xorg docs/links?
[04:36] <Boots32M> letalis, I don't know. I am new to this running 9.10 NBR and want to be able to delete unwanted icons and see where others point to on my desktop.
[04:36] <itai> brjann, it says : put computer to sleep-never, spin down HD when possible and put display to sleep when incative for 30 min, should i change anything?
[04:36] <Zer> Does anyone know a fix to 'hrtimer: interrupt too slow' in dmesg making the Ubuntu VM utterly unresponsive?
[04:36] <hikenboot> for example 2.6.31 is merged so it doesnt have a final-union where as 2.6.32 does because it hasnt been merged is my understanding
[04:36] <nytek_> shazbotmcnasty: vim is what i use. i love it
[04:37] <shazbotmcnasty> I know about the program, but I want a web interface
[04:37] <Remmaze> im dloading sumting, but my update manager just sits there, try to reconnect to this 1 site, i cant close it, how do i kill it?
[04:37] <shazbotmcnasty> because girlfriend loves working in tabs
[04:37] <shazbotmcnasty> in firefox
[04:37] <shazbotmcnasty> and pastebin is too small of an input field
[04:37] <nytek_> shazbotmcnasty: shazbotmcnasty you might like mousepad or geany
[04:37] <brjann> itai: you can try disabling display sleep and disk spin down, and see if that helps
[04:37] <anthony_> a program i'm running uses opengl and when i click on menus (file, edit, etc.) the pop up but under the window... how can i solve this?
[04:38] <itai> brjann, thanks
[04:38] <sensae> Since enabling compiz, when I type in gnome-terminal the characters are sometimes a square instead of the proper character.
[04:38] <brjann> itai: no problem, good luck :)
[04:38] <SilverFox> how do I configure a particular user to NOT launch gnome, but just xterm instead?
[04:39] <bullgard> Synaptic: "The DEB program package ┬╗openoffice.org-emailmerge┬½ contains a component which allows OpenOffice.org to "mail merge" to E-Mail." What does it mean 'to mail merge to E-Mail'?
[04:39] <nytek_> sensae: is it asking you to restart?
[04:39] <pw-toxic_> I have just installed thunderbird. Where do i find the files of this program? i want to import my profiles by copying thunderbird profile files
[04:39] <sensae> nytek_: Nope.
[04:39] <shazbotmcnasty> is there any websites that I can use just as an input field
[04:39] <nytek_> sensae: you might want to restart
[04:39] <sensae> nytek_: I'll give that a try
[04:40] <jsec> pw-toxic_, should be in usr/bin/thunderbird IIRC
[04:40] <bullgard> pw-toxic_: '~$ sudo updatedb' then '~$ locate thunderbird'.
[04:40] <switch10> Is there a way to see if a cron job is running, or if it has finished?
[04:41] <bullgard> switch10: Yes, at least the latter.
[04:42] <unitedpotsmokers> no one know which items we can remove safely?
[04:42] <pw-toxic_> jsec, its in usr/lib and usr/share
[04:42] <sensae> nytek_: Still doing it :/
[04:42] <Remmaze> pw-toxic_: im updating sumting, but my update manager just sits there, trying to connect to this 1 site, trying to load ttf-mscorefonts, i cant close it, how do i kill it??
[04:42] <Remmaze> pw-toxic_: im updating sumting, but my update manager just sits there, trying to connect to this 1 site, trying to load ttf-mscorefonts, i cant close it, how do i kill it??
[04:42] <FloodBot2> Remmaze: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:42] <switch10> bullgard: how do I do that?
[04:42] <skraps> switch10: `cat /var/log/syslog | grep cron`
[04:42] <jsec> pw-toxic), eh you learn something new every day ^_^
[04:43] <switch10> skraps thanks
[04:43] <Remmaze> Floobots : sorry man, i accidentally pressed enter twice...:)
[04:44] <seanbrystone> shhhh we dont talk to the bots Remmaze ;)
[04:44] <Remmaze> hahaha...
[04:44] <pw-toxic_> Remmaze, I'm not sure, but i would try to kill it with the console.
[04:44] <pw-toxic_> Remmaze, so i would enter "ps -e"
[04:44] <pw-toxic_> then i can see all processes running and look for the update manager
[04:44] <pw-toxic_> and then kill it
[04:45] <anthony_> how do i stop my drop down menus from being covered up by the programs window?  i think it's my opengl but i really don't know.
[04:45] <Remmaze> ok guys, i managed to kill using the force quit...
[04:45] <bullgard> switch10: Have a look into /var/log/syslog: '~$ mc /var/log/syslog'. Then press F3 and look for 'CRON...'.
[04:45] <pw-toxic_> or you can go System -> Administration -> System Monitor to have a windows like taks manager
[04:46] <anthony_> anyone?
[04:47] <anish_> YUP
[04:47] <xyz> hi
[04:47] <anish_> hi
[04:47] <anish_> ????
[04:48] <xyz> how to enable wireless in ubuntu 9.10
[04:48] <jsec> !wifi | xyz
[04:49] <rifter> well, guys, I have a bit of a puzzler here. I've been trying to install some packages and when I do an apt-get install I get the "Couldn't find package" error message.  But I go to synaptic and not only are the packages there but they are already installed!  Obviously if they're installed I don't have a problem with that package now, but I am trying to figure out why synaptic would show something different from apt-get
[04:49] <faron> hey again everybody.hey ! can anybody tell me what a "cpu governor" is ? what it does ?
[04:49] <bullgard> anthony_: One solution is to quit your particular program window and restart it on another workspace.
[04:49] <anthony_> how do i stop my drop down menus from being covered up by the programs window?  i think it's my opengl but i really don't know.
[04:49] <rifter> one of the packages in question is gstreamer-0.10-plugins-ugly in case that helps
[04:49] <switch10> rifter: try apt-get update
[04:49] <anthony_> ok
[04:49] <anthony_> thanks
[04:49] <switch10> rifter: and then try to install
[04:49] <rifter> switch10, yeah I did that, it didn't change anything
[04:50] <switch10> rifter: weird
[04:50] <brjann> faron: cpu governors control how your cpu speeds up and down in response to demand
[04:50] <hal9k20101> hello all... need some help with screen setup, need to config x
[04:50] <rifter> switch10, yeah I know.  you would think that if it shows up in synaptic, apt-get would show it, too
[04:50] <faron> hmmmmmmm could this help me with flash video & audio sych up ?
[04:51] <acu> I want to backup a 750GB hard_disk (with only 20GB occupied)  - and restore it in a smaller hard disk (300 GB hard disk) - what should I use? partimage requires at least equal hard disk with the original
[04:51] <switch10> rifter: what are you trying to install?
[04:51] <rifter> switch10, so really now I am worried that I have somehow broken apt and need to fix it
[04:51] <anthony_> it didn't work.  :(  does the same thing.
[04:51] <bullgard> rifter: I do not know why Synaptic's and apt-get's results differ. You need to observe more carefully both programs outputs.
[04:51] <pw-toxic_> does someone know how i can customize the behavior of the window titlebar double click? i want the double click to force a window maximize
[04:51] <brjann> faron: probably not -- you can try turning on the performance governor to guarantee full speed at all times, but i doubt it will help with flash
[04:51] <switch10> acu: use rsync
[04:51] <dsnyders> rifter, can synaptic and apt-get hav different sets of repositories?
[04:52] <rifter> switch10, well several media packages, but one of the ones in question is  gstreamer-0.10-plugins-ugly which does show up in synaptic as installed but apt-get install shows  "Couldn't find package"
[04:52] <faron> You have any ideas about what I can do about that
[04:52] <seanbrystone> acu, or the GUI version of rsync, grsync
[04:52] <pw-toxic_> im sorry.. this was an emeral option i have set up myself
[04:52] <bullgard> dsnyders: No.
[04:52] <faron> ?Others with the same ram seem to have no probs with flash
[04:52] <switch10> rifter: see if you can find it with aptitude search
[04:53] <acu> seanbrystone: so if I want to backup the disk with the operating system - should I boot with a live system - Knoppix or somehting
[04:53] <anthony_> any other ideas?
[04:53] <Remmaze> why cant we talk to the bots?
[04:53] <Remmaze> just wondering....
[04:54] <faron> why can't you talk to the bots ?
[04:54] <ZykoticK9> Remmaze, sort of a one sided conversation
[04:54] <seanbrystone> acu ive never done whole-disk backup, so im prolly not the one to ask about that :D
[04:54] <bazhang> Remmaze, you can; but /msg ubottu to do so
[04:54] <faron> I do
[04:54] <rifter> dsnyders, well, know that when I check system -> administration -> software sources I have the same sources as are in sources.list and the .list files I have under /etc/apt/sources.list.d as far as I can tell
[04:54] <faron> they don't really talk back much but well,you know heh heh
[04:55] <faron> robots,huh ? Go figure
[04:55] <faron> heh heh
[04:55] <bazhang> faron, sure ubottu does; /msg ubottu info packagename for example
[04:55] <rifter> switch10, no joy on aptitude search
[04:55] <ZykoticK9> acu, you might want to check out http://clonezilla.org/ which is a livecd that does disk imaging
[04:55] <dsnyders> rifter, I was just trying to find a reason why they might have different software.  Apparently they use the same list, so that idea is out the window.
[04:55] <brjann> faron: no, sorry, I don't know much about flash troubleshooting.
[04:56] <bullgard> Synaptic: "The DEB program package ┬╗openoffice.org-emailmerge┬½ contains a component which allows OpenOffice.org to "mail merge" to E-Mail." What does it mean 'to mail merge to E-Mail'?
[04:56] <faron> well,thks anywy friend
[04:56] <brjann> faron: no problem, good luck :)
[04:56] <seanbrystone> ZykoticK9, but doesnt clonezilla require the destination to be as big as the source?
[04:56] <rifter> dsnyders, yeah and I just checked settings -> repositories under synaptic and it shows the same software sources dialog with the same sources
[04:56] <ZykoticK9> seanbrystone, i'd imagine so yes
[04:56] <Flam> java
[04:56] <ZykoticK9> seanbrystone, it does to compression as well
[04:56] <anthony_> ok then...
[04:57] <seanbrystone> ZykoticK9, he didnt want that though, remember he said partimage was that way too :)
[04:57] <ZykoticK9> seanbrystone, sorry i actually just caught the tail end, and jumped in -- don't know the history at all
[04:57] <seanbrystone> no worries :D
[04:58] <rifter> dsnyders, as far as I can tell is supposed to be in the regular repos under universe restricted or multiverse
[04:58] <rifter> fromthe internet
[04:58] <Flam> My Movie Player program plays online radios and videos properly, but the youtube feature plays without sound.  Anyone know why?
[04:59] <switch10> rifter: have you tried installing it with synaptic?
[04:59] <acu> Zykotick9: thanks I just look at clonezilla - seems cool - the only limitation is that the target partition should be at least equal to the original  - thanks anhouw - seanbrystone is very perceptive :)
[05:00] <rifter> switch10, synaptic says I already have it installed
[05:00] <pw-toxic_> arr ubuntu is really nice ;)
[05:01] <rifter> dsnyders, actually I look in http://packages.ubuntu.com/search and it doesn't find the package there ... so...
[05:01] <Swin> Just putting this out there, but if anyone has a 320GB Passport Elite they'd be willing to 'hdparm -I /dev/xx > file' and 'hdparm --Istdout /dev/xx >> file' for me I'd be very grateful, query me. :)
[05:01] <skraps> flam: have you made sure its using the right software? like alsa, oss, or fuse?
[05:03] <Flam> skraps, I don't know how to check.. trying to figure it out now.
[05:03] <Flam> im new to linux
[05:04] <leohartx> hello, every one
[05:04] <wrapster> if i have 2 pci-ids provided by a pkg.. lets say they are...pciex11ab,4352 and pci11ab,4352 .. I know that ex stands for express card. But for a particular express hardware to work is it required to have both these IDs listed or will the express card work with just pci11ab,4352 ?
[05:05] <leohartx> i was trying to shrink my ext3 partition with live cd , but i got a problem , it said : resize2fs: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to resize /dev/sda5 (my /home partition), what should i do now ?
[05:07] <anthony_> i'm running a program that uses opengl.  When i click on my drop down menus (file, edit, etc) they disappear under the programs window.  i know they are still there cause they flicker for a sec as my cursor moves over them.  how do i stop that?
[05:09] <anthony_> can anyone help?
[05:09] <bullgard> Synaptic: "The DEB program package ┬╗openoffice.org-emailmerge┬½ contains a component which allows OpenOffice.org to "mail merge" to E-Mail." What does it mean 'to mail merge to E-Mail'?
[05:10] <rifter> bullgard mail merge takes a set of information from tables in a spreadsheet/database and plugs t into points in a document so you can make like form letters
[05:11] <rifter> bullgard, so for instans you could have a letter that says dear [name] and it would set up a set of documents that put a name in each copy
[05:11] <hikenboot> I am trying to apply a kernel patch with patch -p1 --verbose and it just sits there with no output on two seperate kernel versions
[05:12] <bullgard> rifter: Ah! Thank you very much for  your excellent explanation.
[05:12] <rifter> bullgard, yeah you might check out http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Writer/Printing/How_do_I_setup_mail_merge
[05:12] <rifter> bullgard and http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Writer_Guide/Using_Mail_Merge
[05:12] <bullgard> rifter: Very good. I am hurrying to read this article.
[05:13] <Boots32M> symlinks is command line based
[05:13] <Boots32M> Is there something like that with its own gui
[05:14] <rifter> bullgard, basically fields in your document will refer to fields in the database or spreadsheet, so you could have things like name, address, phone number, favorite color, whatever, and then you relate those fields in your document to the fields in your data source and it plugs them in
[05:16] <bullgard> rifter: Yes. I remember that WordStar implemented such a function.
[05:18] <pw-toxic_> i have just downloaded eclipse for php.. where should i normally place this program ?!
[05:19] <Neon0Blue> Can anyone help me install a D-Link usb wireless device on ubuntu?
[05:19] <brjann> pw-toxic_: you can either put it in your home directory, or someplace like /opt
[05:19] <pw-toxic_> what stands opt for?
[05:20] <brjann> pw-toxic_: optional. it's more or less a place to put stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else, especially if it comes with its own directory structure (like eclipse does)
[05:20] <Neon0Blue> ... So can anyone help?
[05:21] <rastasean> I'm also looking for help with vsftp
[05:21] <mouse_> Hi
[05:21] <balki> Hi all..
[05:21] <rastasean> hello
[05:22] <Bawls> hi
[05:22] <rastasean> do you know much about vsftp?
[05:22] <pw-toxic_> i'd like to change the boot screen image (and i want to show some more informatio like what is beeing started right now)
[05:22] <pw-toxic_> i know there is a program for this but i dont remember it
[05:22] <balki> getting a python26.dll not found error when trying to burn a netbook ubuntu iso in pendrive
[05:22] <mouse_> not much yet, rasta.
[05:22] <balki> how to run the usb create.exe now??
[05:23] <rastasean> mouse, do you know how to change the GROUP owner of a folder? I think this is preventing ftp uploads. shows root as owner
[05:23] <brjann> pw-toxic_: you can edit the grub boot line and remove "quiet"
[05:23] <balki> rastasean: chown :groupname folder
[05:23] <brjann> pw-toxic_: that will just show you what's going on instead of the splash screen, though
[05:24] <pw-toxic_> brjann, no i'm looking for a gui where i can change the image of the ubuntu booting process
[05:24] <brjann> pw-toxic_: oh, okay. sorry, no idea :)
[05:24] <pw-toxic_> brjann, there you can set up a bootscreen AND show additional boot data
[05:24] <mouse_> Sry, Rasta, I dunno. I'll try to find out l8r.
[05:24] <balki> hello.. has anyone used the usbcreater.exe which comes along with the netbook iso??
[05:24] <bullgard> !google | pw-toxic
[05:24] <rastasean> thanks, mouse
[05:25] <rastasean> i think this is close but i still get error
[05:25] <brjann> pw-toxic_: fancy! let me know if you find out
[05:25] <rastasean> obviously i'm not using the command correctly, balki
[05:25] <pw-toxic_> brjann, why cant i remember the coolest tools ;))
[05:25] <pw-toxic_> brjann, you can even change the login screen
[05:25] <petsounds> balki, what are you trying to do? :)

[05:32] <abhra> i think there is a way to enter the the folder without typing the whole name of the folder.could you tell me the way?
[05:32] <bullgard> Neon0Blue: Please put a specific question here so that people can help you more speedily.
[05:32] <CyberaX2195> in a terminal you mean ?
[05:33] <CyberaX2195> cd firstfewchars followed by tab
[05:33] <CyberaX2195> should autocomplete the name of the folder
[05:33] <coldfire2122> Is ext4 as reliable as ext3? I'm creating a partition to make important backups and want to feel safe about not losing or corrupting it.
[05:33] <wasutton3_> how would i go about downloading all the .tgz files from this website? http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/flightgear/ftp/Scenery-1.0.1/ (i have been looking at wget, i just cant seem to get the settings right)

[05:34] <bullgard> Neon0Blue: Yes. And you need to add what error messages you obtain.
[05:35] <Neon0Blue> Been googling for half an hour.
[05:35] <abhra> thanks
[05:35] <Neon0Blue> I don't get an error message.

[05:38] <hamza> when i go to disk manager, they do show
[05:38] <BladeNBrocade> is ikonia around?
[05:38] <brjann> harisund: as in, edit /etc/hostname to contain the hostname that you want
[05:39] <CyberaX2195> and then run hostname -F /etc/hostname
[05:39] <voss749> freeciv 2.2 is out but no ubuntu package :(

[05:40] <brjann> !ask | DeAtavist
[05:40] <voss749> brjann, lucids version should be upgraded to 2.2
[05:41] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, that isn't the FCC ID, that is the ID of the device when plugged in, I'm saying the one on the device itself, it should be printed clearly in the form of FCC ID:ŃĆĆXXXXXXXX
[05:41] <DeAtavist> I'm running xfce and wanna install a dock(cairo) and compiz for a theme.  What;s the main interface or shell commands for integrating compiz

[05:47] <Bookman> Is there a free alternative to cpanel available?
[05:47] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, hmm, a Ralink chipset, you might have some luck using ralink drivers, I think it might not be showing any interface could either mean no firmware or or there's errors with symbols
[05:47] <Neon0Blue> Where can I download Ralink drivers?
[05:47] <abhra> @faron it might be a theme.try to change it from appearance
[05:48] <abhra> @hamza ok i'll
[05:48] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2
[05:48] <Zus> faron,  check a compiz maybe you hit a keybinding and enabled it
[05:48] <Neon0Blue> Which one should I get?
[05:49] <faron> abhra......can you rtell me how I would do that ?
[05:49] <faron> compiz not installed
[05:49] <Neon0Blue> There are 2 usb drivers.
[05:50] <faron> i always thought thatr it was part of firefox telling me the window was still loading but other signs say window is finished
[05:50] <wer> !
[05:50] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, I'd try those two, one by one of course
[05:50] <Neon0Blue> ok.
[05:50] <Neon0Blue> Trying newer one first.
[05:51] <Neon0Blue> Thanks for the help.
[05:51] <Zus> faron,  if ccsm isnt installed then it aint thatm  :P
[05:51] <Neon0Blue> I'll tell you how it goes.
[05:51] <faron> ccsm ? what exactly is that ?
[05:51] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, you'll probably need firmware as well, which is also available on that site
[05:51] <abhra> @faron system>preferences>appearwnces
[05:51] <Neon0Blue> Uh.... Ok.
[05:52] <sabat> How can I tell if my wireless card is installed? os:u9.10 PC:MX6453 Gateway Laptop.
[05:52] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, its Dlink DWA-125 right?
[05:52] <faron> abhra...does it make a difference.....i am running xubuntu
[05:52] <Neon0Blue> How do I install the drivers form the Tar.bz2 file? lol I already extracted it but what commands do I put in terminal to make it go. Yes.
[05:52] <psycho_oreos> sabat, pastebin your lspci -nnk
[05:53] <joshuah> sabat: "sudo lshw -C network" in the terminal (Applications > Accessories Terminal)
[05:53] <linuxpjc780> Hey - I have Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala).  Do I need a Bluetooth adapter to get Bluetooth to work?  Or is Ubuntu already set up with Bluetooth ready to go?
[05:53] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, umm you'll need to make it first
[05:53] <Neon0Blue> ok.
[05:53] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, read the README file included
[05:53] <Neon0Blue> I am.
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> linuxpjc780:  you need a bluetooth dongle/device - to use bluetooth software - yes
[05:53] <Zus> brb
[05:53] <Neon0Blue> And confused.
[05:53] <Neon0Blue> lol
[05:53] <harisund> Why are both " linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic-pae" and " linux-image-2.6.31-19-generic-pae" installed even though uname -a says  2.6.31-19-generic-pae is the kernel being run? apt-get auto remove didn't remove the 2.6.31-14 image .. can I remove it myself?
[05:53] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: that depends on if your computer has a bluetooth card in it, if it doesn't, you need the adapter to use bluetooth
[05:53] <abhra> @faron i'm not sure.i never tried xubuntu
[05:54] <linuxpjc780> OK - and that would probably be the case - with either Ubuntu or Windows?
[05:54] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: yeah
[05:54] <faron> ahhh,okay then thks anywayu
[05:54] <Dr_Willis> linuxpjc780:  you need a bluetooth device in the pc.. regguardless of the OS.
[05:54] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, found the solution, try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289917

[05:55] <Neon0Blue> Ok I'll try that.
[05:55] <asher> hi
[05:55] <david> hi
[05:55] <sabat> psycho_oreos: the system is not connected to any network, kinda hard to do
[05:55] <psycho_oreos> abhra, support for that goes in #ubuntu+1
[05:55] <faron> hi
[05:55] <psycho_oreos> sabat, well are you able to save the output into a file onto something like USB stick and transfer the data across?
[05:56] <abhra> @faron defitely.hope you'll find your answer.best of luck
[05:56] <sabat> joshuah: I did that, I see "Network DISABLED" on the paragraph that is related to the wireless
[05:56] <sabat> umm... I suppose
[05:56] <psycho_oreos> sabat, you do realise that if it isn't connected to internet, installing drivers will be very hard to do?

[05:56] <sabat> I am only assuming it is, because it see's the mac address.
[05:56] <psycho_oreos> sabat, from where?
[05:56] <swygue> any bash pro's around, I need to store a the result of a command in variable like VAR=$(run command). This works but when I call it, like this echo $VAR. The result is I get the result twice, once when the command is executed along with the echo
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> TheStreetRacer:  theres firefox extensions for all sorts of things.
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> !p2p
[05:57] <sabat> it see's the mac address in the data from the command "sudo lshw -C network" that joshuah told me to use
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_:  therea a few gdm2 config tools that let yiu change a few things..   see http://delicious.com/dr_willis under the gdm and gdm2 tags
[05:57] <joshuah> sabat: maybe try "ifconfig -a" and see if it's in there. you can enable it with "ifconfig ADAPTER up" where ADAPTER is your interface, usually eth0 for wired, possibly eth2 or wlan0 for wireless
[05:57] <psycho_oreos> swygue, tried #bash ?
[05:57] <sabat> but it says "network disabled" also
[05:58] <swygue> psycho_oreos: thanks
[05:58] <dsnyders> Hi all!  kpovmodeller is screwing up.  The windows are doubling up.  See: http://imagebin.org/85792   Anyone know a fix?
[05:58] <sabat> joshuah: I see it, wlan-, no bcast ip or anything, just blank
[05:58] <psycho_oreos> sabat, if you can, try to get it hooked up to internet using cable or at the very least get the output of lspci -nnk into USB stick and paste the output on pastebin
[05:58] <psycho_oreos> swygue, np
[05:59] <TheStreetRacer> I want to associate ed2k links with firefo
[05:59] <Remmaze> im using HP TX1000 laptop running on Ubuntu 9.10, any idea how do i maximize the touch screen options....?
[05:59] <joshuah> sabat: try enabling it, "ifconfig wlan0 up" (need the number that was in "ifconfig -a")
[06:00] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, ah this explains why i cant find the logi options anymore since i've upgraded to 9.10 ;))
[06:01] <linuxpjc780> How do I check within Ubuntu - to see if there is an adapter already installed?
[06:02] <psycho_oreos> linuxpjc780, depends on how its plugged in
[06:02] <sabat> I am sure this is related in some way, but I have wpa enabled on the wap, and it works just fine in windowson this same laptop, my cell phone, and my asus eeepc running suse. we all use the same pw. so I am really trying not to mess with the wpa, cuz it works on everything else arealy.
[06:02] <sabat> I am 99% sure I have entered the right options for the ssid and such...
[06:03] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: you can use "sudo lshw -html > ~/Desktop/specs.html" in the terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) to put an html file on your desktop with your computers specs
[06:03] <joshuah> that's a bit easier to search
[06:03] <psycho_oreos> sabat, your device could either be missing the correct driver or firmware, but without you telling me the output of lspci -nnk you're making the assistance task very awkward
[06:03] <sabat> I am currently working on it, sorry
[06:03] <sabat> 1 more moment please
[06:04] <sabat> just stuck the usb drive back into my pc[the one I am on now
[06:04] <sabat> http://pastebin.com/uwS75hWa
[06:05] <psycho_oreos> sabat, you're missing firmware
[06:05] <Squerdlok> how do I apply a cracked WEP key in hex to an AP?
[06:05] <sabat> firmware? as in I need to update the LAPTOP?
[06:05] <psycho_oreos> !ot | Squerdlok
[06:06] <linuxpjc780> OK - so I ran that sudo command - I don't see an HTML file on my desktop.  Is it hidden somewhere?
[06:06] <abhra> well i'm using usb datacard to access net.upto intrepid,there was no problem.i just edited wvdial.conf,put my username and password and i'm ready  to go.since jaunty wvdial is not there by default.is there another way to connect to net?i mean without wvdial,how am i supposed to connect to net?
[06:06] <sabat> like a flash update?
[06:06] <Squerdlok> thnx ubottu
[06:06] <psycho_oreos> sabat, no firmware to run the device, wireless devices and other devices these days requires a firmware which is usually proprietary and not easily available without internet access and your consent to download proprietary stuff
[06:06] <sabat> aaah, ok. so in otherwords, I jsut need proprietary drivers
[06:07] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, thanks. I have been looking for this for about 45 minutes. But the login manager isnt as good as the one from gdm1 ;( but its a start
[06:07] <Neon0Blue> I'm having an issue installing the ralink drivers
[06:07] <sabat> well, that's lame, but I can deal with that
[06:07] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, the guide doesn't work?
[06:07] <Neon0Blue> Does but.
[06:07] <sabat> I can get internet access on this easily
[06:07] <Neon0Blue> I get an install error when installing the drivers.
[06:07] <psycho_oreos> sabat, well unfortunately that's broadcrap for you, best yet is to physically hook that laptop up using wired and go through hardware drivers
[06:07] <linuxpjc780> joshuah - OK - so I ran that sudo command - I don't see an HTML file on my desktop.  Is it hidden somewhere?
[06:07] <Neon0Blue> Do I need to be logged in as root or just sudo because it's not working on sudo.
[06:07] <Neon0Blue> Any advice?
[06:08] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, which part of the guide are you stuck?
[06:08] <Neon0Blue> "make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
[06:08] <Neon0Blue> make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/richeyisok/Desktop/RT3070_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.1_20100208/os/linux'
[06:08] <Neon0Blue> make: *** [install] Error 2"
[06:08] <Neon0Blue> The "sudo make install" part.
[06:08] <Neon0Blue> Of installing the drivers I make
[06:08] <psycho_oreos> well normally sudo shouldn't fail because you'll be executing that command as root
[06:09] <ZykoticK9> Neon0Blue, "make install" does require sudo -- if you did ./configure and make first, they don't require sudo
[06:09] <Neon0Blue> ok
[06:09] <Neon0Blue> So no sudo
[06:09] <Neon0Blue> Trying.
[06:09] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: no it shouldn't be...
[06:09] <psycho_oreos> try using sudo -i and manually navigate back to that directory with the Makefile and then try running make install
[06:10] <Neon0Blue> Put in the make command and it's going.
[06:10] <Neon0Blue> I think,.
[06:10] <ardchoille> using sudo with make is not recommended
[06:10] <sabat> so do I just need to get internet access on it and run some updates?
[06:10] <sabat> or is using the wireless entirelly hopeless?
[06:10] <freezway> is there a channel about wine
[06:10] <ZykoticK9> Neon0Blue, do you have build-essential installed on your system (it's required for most, if not all compiling)
[06:10] <psycho_oreos> sabat, well you'll need some form of internet access on the laptop before you can do any other stuff with the laptop wirelessly
[06:10] <brjann> freezway: yes, #winehq
[06:10] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: after > is where the file goes and the file name, so you can do something like "/home/USERNAME/Desktop/myfile.html" just to make sure it's right...
[06:10] <Neon0Blue> Yes.
[06:10] <ardchoille> freezway: #winehq
[06:10] <freezway> ty
[06:11] <sabat> ya, done
[06:11] <sabat> what next?
[06:11] <Neon0Blue> cp: cannot remove `/tftpboot': Permission denied
[06:11] <Neon0Blue> make: *** [LINUX] Error 1
[06:11] <Neon0Blue> I think I need sudo.
[06:11] <psycho_oreos> sabat, make sure that you have an IP address on that laptop
[06:11] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, the tool doesnt work for me ;( the login screens dont get changed
[06:11] <ZykoticK9> Neon0Blue, your actually not giving us the real error, could you pastebin the error messages?
[06:12] <Neon0Blue> I pasted it.
[06:12] <Neon0Blue> What do you want me to copy.
[06:12] <ZykoticK9> Neon0Blue, sorry didn't see the tftpboot part - my bad
[06:12] <Neon0Blue> Or can you just remote desktop me.
[06:12] <Neon0Blue> ok.
[06:13] <Neon0Blue> What should I do?'
[06:13] <Neon0Blue> Should I log in as root and try installing it?
[06:13] <freezway> no one is on the wine channel, so i'll ask here... wine isn't running my game at the correct res (warcraft 3 and 1920x1080)
[06:13] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, yeah I'd give it a shot, use sudo -i
[06:13] <Neon0Blue> hm ok
[06:14] <joshuah> freezway: did you install warcraft 3? cuz you should be able to use regedit to set it, that's a warcraft 3 thing
[06:14] <psycho_oreos> you'll also need to navigate back into where you extracted all that ralink stuff
[06:14] <hmw> freezway: are you sure, the game itself can handle this high resolution?
[06:14] <sabat> ya, I got the internet working on it now, entirely, I hooked up the wireless and setup the ip and everything, I don't run a dhcp just for the slight bit of extra security but It's up now.
[06:15] <freezway> im curious, b/c when i had a 1440x900 moniter it didn't let me choose that, but now that i have 1920 x 1080 i can choose 1440x900
[06:15] <linuxpjc780> joshuah - OK, I missed part of your initial command instructions - I got the html.  So where in this html would it say something about a bluetooth adapter (if it is installed)?  Or how would it read?  Another thing - if I go to System --> Preferences --> Bluetooth - and it tells me no Bluetooth adapters are present - then does that for sure mean there aren't any present?
[06:15] <psycho_oreos> sabat, you meant wired
[06:15] <joshuah> freezway: http://warcraft.freakygaming.com/tutorials/running_warcraft_3_in_widescreen.html says you can edit "HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Blizzard Entertainment > Warcraft III > Video" with regedit to change your resolution (in windows or wine)
[06:16] <freezway> k i'll give it a shot
[06:16] <sabat> err, ya
[06:16] <sabat> I got it online tho, so what was next?
[06:16] <psycho_oreos> sabat, ok, open up terminal and type in sudo aptitude install fw-cutter
[06:17] <TimboSlice> hello
[06:17] <psycho_oreos> !hi | TimboSlice
[06:18] <TimboSlice> thx :)
[06:18] <linuxpjc780> joshuah - I successfully generated the specs.html file.  Where would it say in this file - something about Bluetooth adapter?
[06:18] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: that sounds like you don't have one... and I can't find mine in the html file either (and I know I have one).  does it say it's disabled in System > Preferences > Bluetooth? because that's what I have (with an internal adapter)
[06:18] <freezway> sweet that worked thx
[06:18] <sabat> going slow
[06:19] <joshuah> freezway: np, but if you go into Options > Video in warcraft 3 you'll hafta reset it again ^^
[06:19] <psycho_oreos> sabat, but you're now downloading it right?
[06:19] <sabat> done now
[06:19] <bullgard> How can I set my Empathy 2.28.1.1 so that it will show Geolocation service results?
[06:19] <sabat> ya
[06:19] <sabat> wired tho
[06:19] <lgc> Hi, what's the best app to listen to internet radio? I remember seeing preloaded long lists to choose from in one app, but I can't remember which one it was.
[06:19] <sabat> it went really really slow at the start, made me wonder if it was working, but it was working
[06:20] <linuxpjc780> joshuah - no, when I go to Bluetooth under Preferences - it tells me an adapter isn't present - that none are plugged in.  But this does not necessarily mean there isn't an internal adapter that's just disabled, right?
[06:20] <Neon0Blue> I still get an install error.
[06:20] <joshuah> lgc: vlc will do that, sometimes you can find a .pls file that will open with it (di.fm), or just open the site from vlc
[06:20] <Neon0Blue> "cp: cannot stat `/home/richeyisok/Desktop/RT3070_LinuxSTA_V2.3.0.1_20100208/RT3070STA.dat': No such file or directory

[06:20] <FloodBot2> Neon0Blue: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:20] <psycho_oreos> sabat, that's ok, umm, check inside /lib/firmware to see if there's a directory named b43 and inside that directory named b43 if there are files starting with b0g0
[06:20] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, you'll need to download the extra files
[06:20] <hamza> is the gnome channel ##gnome? i tried typing in just gnome after the "#" and it went directly to ##gnome
[06:20] <Neon0Blue> Extra files?
[06:21] <Neon0Blue> Like?
[06:21] <Bertik> Need help here please with mount command. As a root I have mounted ( mount /dev/sde1 /mount ) HDD. I have created a file there over ssh ( Putty ). I can see the file over the Putty terminal. I have logged to the box from another box with standard GUI file browser Nautilus ( File-->Connect To Server ) over SSH as a root. I do not see the file created over Putty..... Why?
[06:21] <phrog> Has anyone been able to get libflashplayer.so to work for firefox under Ubuntu 9.10 ppc?
[06:21] <lgc> joshuah, but I can't find lists in vlc. Only the input for the stream address.
[06:22] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: that sounds like you don't have one, you can check in your bios (tap F12 on boot up for dell users, it should say ___ for Setup in the corner of your screen) and see if it's there, but I don't think you have one (you'd need the adapter)
[06:22] <sabat> there is not a folder called b43, I checked multiple times to be sure
[06:22] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, wait, your uncompressed stuff might not be complete
[06:22] <Neon0Blue> ...
[06:22] <Neon0Blue> Can someone just remote desktop me?
[06:23] <Neon0Blue> lol
[06:23] <Neon0Blue> I'm lost.
[06:23] <linuxpjc780> joshuah - K, yeah - I don't have Dell - I have IBM, so ...  I can always check for it in Windows too ...
[06:23] <theadmin> Are debian packages... archives of some kind?
[06:23] <psycho_oreos> sabat, try navigating into hardware drivers and give it a shot
[06:24] <IdleOne> Neon0Blue: not really a good idea to allow remote access to a random stranger on irc.
[06:24] <Neon0Blue> Valid point.
[06:24] <Neon0Blue> But I'm lost.
[06:24] <Neon0Blue> And I don't have much to loose.
[06:24] <IdleOne> Neon0Blue: with?
[06:24] <Neon0Blue> With my D-Link USB device.
[06:24] <joshuah> lgc: yeah, I think you need to find em beforehand, there might be sites out there for that. googling around I found http://www.streamfinder.com/
[06:25] <IdleOne> Neon0Blue: being lost is the best way to find your way around Linux :)
[06:25] <Neon0Blue> I know.
[06:25] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: okay, you might check on windows too, and possibly in your bios (when you start up)
[06:25] <Neon0Blue> But apparently I'm missing files that I don't know where to get or anything.
[06:25] <lgc> joshuah, thank. I'll take a look.
[06:25] <IdleOne> Neon0Blue: what files?
[06:25] <Neon0Blue> Someone who can SEE whats going on may help.
[06:25] <Neon0Blue> IDK
[06:25] <Neon0Blue> RT3070STA.dat
[06:25] <Neon0Blue> I think
[06:25] <joshuah> lgc: yeah
[06:25] <FloodBot2> Neon0Blue: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:25] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, yeah that is it
[06:26] <linuxpjc780> joshuah - do you know how to access BIOS on an IBM Thinkpad?
[06:26] <Neon0Blue> Where can I get it?
[06:26] <psycho_oreos> it should normally be under that same directory, try searching for it
[06:26] <theadmin> Neon0Blue: Might be a good idea to check manufacturer's site, i dunno
[06:26] <Neon0Blue> RT2870STA.dat
[06:26] <Neon0Blue> I have that?
[06:26] <Neon0Blue> Rename?
[06:27] <psycho_oreos> mm probably not a good idea to rename
[06:27] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: I don't, but it might say (probably "setup") when you see the IBM logo when you startup your computer, and it's probably on their website or google.  be careful when in the setup too, it's easy to mes things up :P
[06:27] <Neon0Blue> hm.
[06:27] <IdleOne> Neon0Blue: what model?
[06:27] <Neon0Blue> FCC?
[06:27] <psycho_oreos> DWA-125 IdleOne
[06:28] <Neon0Blue> FCC ID: KA2WA125A2
[06:28] <Neon0Blue> Yea.
[06:28] <psycho_oreos> I found a guide here but he's having issues with it:ŃĆĆhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289917
[06:29] <Neon0Blue> I can't run the make install command because it's missing the .dat file

[06:31] <sensae> anyone here use dm-raid?
[06:31] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, I'd try renaming that file that you were talking about, it seems like RT3070.DAT doesn't exist
[06:32] <Neon0Blue> ok.
[06:32] <skullcandy> Does anyone know how to convert ogv to gif?!?!?
[06:32] <demonspork> skullcandy, Google probably does
[06:32] <skullcandy> NO!!! i just searched google dude.
[06:32] <demonspork> lol
[06:33] <ZykoticK9> skullcandy, looks like mplayer/mencoder can do it with "mplayer video.nut -vo gif89a:fps=15:output=test.gif"
[06:33] <IdleOne> psycho_oreos: since you are helping Neon0Blue you should take a look at this also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289917
[06:34] <skullcandy> can i have a better explanation of how to do that? :S
[06:34] <joshuah> skullcandy: ogv + gif, image formats? can GIMP do it?
[06:34] <skullcandy> :S not sure Joshuah
[06:34] <freezway> i dont think gimp can
[06:34] <psycho_oreos> IdleOne, lol same link
[06:34] <IdleOne> psycho_oreos: ok :)
[06:34] <joshuah> I thought ogv was video
[06:34] <freezway> it is
[06:34] <skullcandy> Ogv is video, i don't have audio for the clip i just want it as gif
[06:34] <IdleOne> psycho_oreos: didn't see you posted it already
[06:34] <joshuah> you can take a screenshot with totem then convert it to a giv, what does it show when you double click it?
[06:34] <skullcandy> ogv is the output from gtk record my desktop
[06:34] <psycho_oreos> IdleOne, np
[06:35] <joshuah> ohhhh
[06:35] <joshuah> animated gif?
[06:35] <skullcandy> Yes!!.
[06:35] <freezway> yeah
[06:35] <joshuah> I c
[06:35] <joshuah> 1m lol (google)
[06:35] <theadmin> ogv is an Ogg Video, not an animated gif o_O
[06:35] <skullcandy>  i just did for like 15 minuets..... :@
[06:35] <psycho_oreos> skullcandy, you need mplayer/mencoder package, grab those first before trying to convert anything
[06:35] <skullcandy> umk will do
[06:35] <joshuah> skullcandy: 2 heads are better than 1 :P
[06:36] <rastasean>  hello guys. can i get help. i'm trying to send a file on my system via ssh. its a rather large file but ftp is not enabled on the other computer. I have read about the scp but itsn't working for me
[06:36] <psycho_oreos> rastasean, you could try sshfs
[06:36] <Neon0Blue> ok need to uninstall ndiswrapper
[06:36] <Neon0Blue> lol
[06:36] <skullcandy> I will confirm if this works after i convert the file.
[06:36] <rastasean> psycho, what is sshfs?
[06:36] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, first unload it from modules, then blacklist it and then remove it
[06:37] <psycho_oreos> rastasean, ssh file system, allows you to navigate around places inside ssh and copy and paste files if need be
[06:37] <rastasean> psycho, does it need to be installed on the client (person receiving)
[06:37] <psycho_oreos> !sshfs | rastasean
[06:38] <skullcandy> mplayer failed to isntall
[06:38] <psycho_oreos> yes if the client doesn't know how to use scp or winscp or whatever
[06:38] <slimjimflim> anybody know of a cli html parser that will output a url to stdout?
[06:38] <psycho_oreos> skullcandy, and how did you go about installing it?
[06:38] <Neon0Blue> What's the delete command in terminal? lol
[06:38] <skullcandy> in ubuntu software then clicked install
[06:38] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, rm
[06:38] <theadmin> Neon0Blue: rm
[06:38] <skullcandy> update manager popped up brb
[06:38] <psycho_oreos> skullcandy, what are the errors
[06:39] <usser> slimjimflim, html parser? like displaying raw html?
[06:39] <skullcandy> oh, i just closed it my bad :(
[06:39] <skullcandy> want me to reinstall then pastebin the errors?
[06:39] <slimjimflim> usser: it needs to input an html file and output the all urls or output the first url
[06:40] <psycho_oreos> skullcandy, yes that'll be more ideal
[06:40] <slimjimflim> *output 'all the urls'
[06:40] <slimjimflim> either way
[06:40] <skullcandy> Installing again pyscho :)
[06:40] <quietone> join #freenode
[06:41] <slimjimflim> i tried looking at some sed examples on it but it was super complicated
[06:41] <skullcandy> @Quietone, Why?
[06:41] <slimjimflim> and the #regex ppl say to get an html parser
[06:41] <theadmin> quietone: You forgot the slash i think
[06:42] <skullcandy> mplayer media player is installed now
[06:42] <quietone> theadmin: yes, i think i have what is called and love and hate relationship with irc
[06:42] <MHz128> Apparently VLC can play encrypted DVD movies... it doesnt work on my system, how do I play DVD movies? legitimate store-bought ones
[06:42] <theadmin> quietone: lo wut... whatever
[06:42] <psycho_oreos> skullcandy, you'll still need mencoder, w32codecs, etc
[06:42] <quietone> theadmin: I don't know what that means
[06:42] <dj_segfault> MHz128: Get thee to medibuntu.com
[06:42] <usser> slimjimflim, just grep for <a href or something
[06:43] <tmukmkd> why sometimes my speaker will make a strange sound? like "thub, thub" but when i open any media player the sound vanish~ (’┐ŻŌ¢╝’┐Ż;)
[06:43] <theadmin> dj_segfault: medibuntu.org
[06:43] <ZykoticK9> skullcandy, the quality of the animated gif produced by mplayer are pretty terrible... 256 colour and framerate seems totally messed
[06:43] <skraps> sed isnt too bad , you just need to study. its one of those things that you really need to learn how to use it before you use it
[06:43] <Neon0Blue> brb going to restart.
[06:43] <usser> slimjimflim, ie curl something.org | grep "<a href"
[06:43] <dj_segfault> Thanks. Right
[06:43] <MHz128> dj_segfault, is that the correct url?
[06:43] <MHz128> oh ok. got it
[06:43] <slimjimflim> usser: i already did that, but i get the whole line...i need to set the url as a variable in my bash script
[06:44] <slimjimflim> usser: i need to extract just the url
[06:44] <dj_segfault> MHz128: No, theadmin corrected me it's medibuntu.org
[06:44] <bullgard> How can I set my Empathy 2.28.1.1 so that it will show Geolocation service results?
[06:45] <quietone> skullcandy: because I want to know about ! commands I see. And btw, what is the @ for?
[06:45] <ZykoticK9> MHz128, this might help http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/enable-dvd-video-playback
[06:45] <MHz128> great! thank you!
[06:45] <Neon0Blue> Ok nothing.
[06:46] <bullgard> tmukmkd: "sometimes" is no exact description.
[06:46] <theadmin> Is putting a script to start up HTTPD in /etc/init.d fine?
[06:46] <Neon0Blue> psycho_oreos can you Remote Desktop me and help me out?
[06:47] <claptrap> Anyone here got any experience with Kongregate.com? ;D
[06:47] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, not an ideal solution
[06:47] <Neon0Blue> But I have no clue what's wrong.
[06:47] <Neon0Blue> And maybe by you seeing what's going on you can come up with a solution.
[06:48] <psycho_oreos> well
[06:48] <joshuah> theadmin: there's not a script for it already there?
[06:48] <theadmin> joshuah: I belive there ain't, i compiled it from source and installed into my home's subfolder
[06:48] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, I'd prefer ssh, remote desktop takes too much bandwidth
[06:49] <Neon0Blue> ok.
[06:49] <Neon0Blue> What should I put into gSTM.
[06:49] <psycho_oreos> gSTM?
[06:49] <mhaedo> hey everyone
[06:49] <Neon0Blue> That's my SSH app.
[06:49] <theadmin> Hi, mhaedo
[06:50] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, you'll need to run ssh server
[06:50] <joshuah> theadmin: sure, you can do whatever you want, but be careful with it.  it'll need to be executable (chown +x /etc/init.d/yourhttpdfile) and you might want to back up anything important first
[06:50] <Neon0Blue> Uh lost.
[06:50] <poi77> Hi! I have a Makefile.in file that refers to "Include directories for the compiler" and is defaulting to /opt/local/include   What do I need to use for ubuntu?
[06:50] <tmukmkd> bullgard owh. how can i describe it? because it not always happen at all time -_-'
[06:50] <mhaedo> would anyone here mind giving a few pointers with restoring my grub2?  i'm familiar with grub legacy, but grub2 with LVMs is really throwing me for a loop
[06:50] <claptrap> What's the difference between chown and chmod? .-.
[06:50] <theadmin> joshuah: Oh, so i need to +x it, good point, i'd forget that for sure
[06:51] <theadmin> claptrap: chown changes ownership, chmod changes permissions
[06:51] <psycho_oreos> claptrap, chown is to change ownership of file, chmod changes the various read write execute bits, sticky bits, etc
[06:51] <mhaedo> i've looked at several howtos and tutorials, but i'm a bit confused
[06:51] <joshuah> theadmin: chmod >.<, sorry
[06:51] <Claptrap> Ah.
[06:51] <theadmin> joshuah: Well, lol, i didn't even notice that typo
[06:51] <psycho_oreos> s/file/file\ and\ directory
[06:51] <Hellhound666> claptrap:  chown - change ownership chmod - change permissions
[06:52] <Hellhound666> oh sorry didn't see that
[06:52] <Claptrap> Seemed logical, but since he did the +x and was talking about making it executable... I just wanted to be sure.
[06:52] <Claptrap> lol.
[06:52] <joshuah> theadmin: it's an 18 hr day for me so far :P, I'm a little out of it right now
[06:52] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH
[06:52] <mhaedo> anyone at all mind lending a hand with grub2?
[06:52] <Claptrap> Sounds like you might want to sleep, sir.
[06:53] <Hellhound666> I got a question is there any distro at all or maybe an old ubuntu that I can put on my old compcrap laptop
[06:53] <Hellhound666> and update it from there
[06:53] <Claptrap> Ubuntu Netbook Remix!
[06:53] <theadmin> Hellhound666: Maybe Xubuntu...
[06:53] <bullgard> tmukmkd: Tell us the settings of PulseAudio and AlsaMixer and on what of their settings will your strange sound appear and on what settings not.
[06:54] <joshuah> mhaedo: you can install it with grub-install /dev/yourhddhere.  you can edit /etc/default/grub to your liking then run "update-grub" to update grub.cfg.  it's usually under a different package than the older grub (I think one's grub, the other's grub-pc)
[06:54] <Claptrap> Isn't Netbook Remix optimized for older PCs?
[06:54] <Claptrap> Well
[06:54] <Claptrap> Optimized for netbooks.
[06:54] <ardchoille> yes
[06:54] <Hellhound666> theadmin:  thanks I'll give it a try
[06:54] <mhaedo> joshuah: thanks for the pointer...i've read that in a few HOWTOs
[06:54] <joshuah> mhaedo: ok ^^, it took me awhile for me to be able to do anything with it too... was used to the ole menu.lst
[06:55] <mhaedo> joshuah: i'm still a bit confused.  my /boot partition is /dev/sda1 and my root partition is a logical volume in an LVM on /dev/sda2
[06:55] <mhaedo> joshuah: that's what's complicating things.
[06:56] <joshuah> mhaedo: oh... I wouldn't know about that. maybe --root-directory=/boot/something? (or, on a livecd, /media/disk/something)?
[06:56] <mhaedo> see that's the problem
[06:56] <Hellhound666> theadmin:  do you suggest a version?  it's a Presario 700 compaq 20gig hdd I think a 1ghz processor
[06:56] <Ikagara> Hello.
[06:56] <Claptrap> I don't trust LiveCDs just now.
[06:56] <mhaedo> when you use the --root-directory flag it assumes that your /boot is within that root directory
[06:56] <psycho_oreos> Hellhound666, how much RAM?
[06:56] <mhaedo> my /boot is a seperate partition from my root directory
[06:57] <mhaedo> so if i do that it installs grub in /boot/grub, which is actually /boot/boot/grub
[06:57] <mhaedo> well if i use sda1 as my root directory that is
[06:57] <bullgard> How can I set my Empathy 2.28.1.1 so that it will show Geolocation service results?
[06:57] <Guest37323> !nick EMTw3@k
[06:57] <avemaria> having problems with 'lock screen', it gets activated even though i am working on laptop. how to stop this buggy behaviour
[06:57] <joshuah> mhaedo: you might want to try #grub sometime tomorrow. if you can get a hold of phcoder he's pro.  I think he's a grub developer
[06:57] <Hellhound666> oh sorry 256mb
[06:57] <misterB> Help, anyone... I was following the tutorial found here: http://www.khattam.info/2009/11/08/solved-dsl-pppoe-not-able-to-connect-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/ and got through it all only to find out that it broke network manager rather than fixing it, and now I can't use wireless or ethernet. Network manager says wired devices are not managed, and wireless sees network but continues trying to connect without success.
[06:57] <mhaedo> and i'm not sure how i'd even refer to my actual root directory which is a logical volume instead of a normal parttion
[06:57] <NimbleRabit> is there a way for me to open a gui text editor to edit a remote file (through ssh)
[06:58] <mhaedo> i miss grub legacy and normal partitions
[06:58] <joshuah> mhaedo: you can boot to a livecd, mount it, then use the logical volume for the disk, and the directory for --root-directory
[06:58] <Ikagara> I have a question. I am on 64bit ubuntu, and i am trying ot find, and download some 32bit librarys (to solve some compatiiblity issues with a applicaiton i use) but im not sure where to find them. I was thinking i sould the soruce list, or package manager to download and reinstal a library to its 32bit version.
[06:58] <ardchoille> NimbleRabit: now's a good time to get used to cli text editors :)
[06:58] <dj_segfault> avemaria: Why shouldn't it work on a laptop?
[06:59] <bullgard> misterB: First reboot and tell the results.
[06:59] <NimbleRabit> ardchoille, somehow I knew that was going to be the answer
[06:59] <NimbleRabit> lol
[06:59] <mhaedo> joshuah: but then it would install grub to a /boot folder in my root directory which still doesn't work because i have a seperate partition for /boot, it's not a directory on my root logical volume
[06:59] <misterB> bullgard: I've tried that
[06:59] <mhaedo> joshuah: so complicated for something that is so simple :(
[06:59] <joshuah> Ikagara: this looks like it might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=928070

[07:00] <avemaria> dj: i have disabled the screensavers increased the idle time
[07:00] <misterB> bullgard: what about ethernet?
[07:00] <mhaedo> ouch
[07:00] <dj_segfault> avemaria: In system --> preference --> power management?
[07:00] <joshuah> mhaedo: yeah... but I think it's some combination of using/not using /dev/sda and a # and --root-directory... like in the old grub how you could install to a partition (hd0,0) instead of a harddrive (hd0)
[07:01] <WizardOfOz> Hi folks I need help lol... erm how do I configure my USR Robotics External 56k Modem :( no lights come on it or anything on UBuntu pls help
[07:01] <joshuah> either way, I bet phcoder in #grub can help you if he's not too busy ^^
[07:01] <mhaedo> joshuah: i've actually managed to get grub2 on my MBR
[07:01] <mhaedo> joshuah: i just cant boot it

[07:02] <Cappy> folks, how are the ATI drivers in karmic? Radeon Express 200M in a notebook.
[07:02] <Claptrap> Grub2 is an evil, evil monster.
[07:02] <mhaedo> Jordan_U: i've never had a problem restoring grub before
[07:03] <mhaedo> Jordan_U: but this time I'm using grub2 as well as logical volumes
[07:03] <joshuah> quietone: you might find some info on that here: http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi
[07:03] <bullgard> Claptrap: Your statement is not helpful.
[07:03] <mhaedo> Jordan_U: i have /boot as it's own primary partition on /dev/sda1, and the rest of my filesystem as seperate logical volumes in an LVM on /dev/sda2
[07:03] <avemaria> any help guys this has become really irritating
[07:03] <mhaedo> Jordan_U: i cannot figure out how to install grub and make it recognize my /boot partition and root filesystem as a logical volume in an LVM on /dev/sda2
[07:04] <mhaedo> Jordan_U: i
[07:04] <Claptrap> bullgard: Sorry? /=
[07:04] <mhaedo> i've followed a few howtos to reinstall it, but they don't really apply to my partitioning scheme
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> i thought /boot couldent  be on a lvm... but i may be wrong
[07:04] <brjann> avemaria: check System > Preferences > Screensaver. display power management is separate from the screensaver settings
[07:04] <Hellhound666> mhaedo:  reinstall grub
[07:04] <misterB> bullgard: it was all working before I tried the tutorial. Any idea where the configuration files are that would have gotten messed up? Don't see anything in dmesg
[07:04] <Hellhound666> oh sorry
[07:04] <Hellhound666> find /boot/grub/stage 1
[07:04] <avemaria> brjann: ive checked it and i have disabled all the settings
[07:04] <mhaedo> Hellhound666: i have, but apparently incorrectly
[07:04] <skraps> i heard that ubuntu is veering away from the "netbook remix" name im looking for the development beta release of the netbook edition
[07:04] <avemaria> still its happening
[07:05] <Hellhound666> find /boot/grub/stage1
[07:05] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_: hold down power button for a few secs.. then release.. then hit it again perhaps.
[07:05] <Hellhound666> that will show your hd
[07:05] <Jordan_U> mhaedo, Try this link: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide

[07:05] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, no didnt work.. i had to hard kill my computer
[07:05] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, i tried it several times.. seems like suspend doesnt work.. this is a kill feature for a notebook ;(
[07:05] <quietone> joshuah: thanks, that is helping
[07:05] <Hellhound666> root (hd0,0) or whatever press enter
[07:06] <mhaedo> joshuah: i've always considered myself to be fairly proficient with google, but no, i didn't find that one
[07:06] <Jordan_U> Dr_Willis, It can with grub2, but mhaedo is using a separate non lvm /boot anyway ( which makes sense ).
[07:06] <joshuah> quietone: yeah, anytime
[07:06] <mhaedo> joshuah: looks promising, i'm gonna go read it
[07:06] <rastasean> i am looking for software that will capture images from 1394 video camera and ftp to a site. anyone know of such software?
[07:06] <joshuah> mhaedo: sweet, the search I did was (google) "ubuntu grub2 lvm" without quotes
[07:06] <Hellhound666> mhadeo then setup (hd 1,3) <-- whatever your hd is

[07:07] <Hellhound666> mhaedo:  that should work
[07:07] <mhaedo> joshuah: that thread matches my partitioning scheme exactly, except i have seperate logical volumes for /home and /
[07:07] <mhaedo> joshuah: it'll probably tell me what I need, reading it now
[07:07] <joshuah> rastasean: you're looking for something to do that all in one step? otherwise there are ftp clients and I'm sure there is firewire camera software

[07:24] <joshuah> WizardOfOz: ok thanks, I don't know if that'll work.. so if it doesn't try "sudo lshw -html > ~/Desktop/specs.html" and open specs.html from your desktop
[07:24] <joshuah> mhaedo: what kind of laptop is it?
[07:24] <WizardOfOz> ok
[07:24] <zane> i just had to turn my compiz off to get my vnc to work
[07:24] <mhaedo> joshuah: it's a sager 8690 (built on clevo w860cu)
[07:25] <WizardOfOz> nop
[07:25] <joshuah> mhaedo: wow I don't know anything about that lol
[07:25] <WizardOfOz> The modem is like dead
[07:25] <mhaedo> joshuah: i7 820qm, 4GB DDR3-1333 (i dont need more than 4GB), nvidia geforce gtx 280M, full HD 1080p
[07:25] <joshuah> WizardOfOz: nothing from the first one?
[07:25] <joshuah> mhaedo: it's a monster
[07:25] <joshuah> how much did that run ya?
[07:25] <WizardOfOz> nop
[07:26] <mhaedo> joshuah: got a STEAL, brand new for $1400
[07:26] <joshuah> WizardOfOz: how about the second one? can you search "specs.html" in firefox (ctrl + f) for the modem?
[07:26] <mhaedo> joshuah: retail with tax and shipping it would have been about $2400
[07:26] <WizardOfOz> nop
[07:26] <joshuah> mhaedo: wow, that's crazy... got a link for me?
[07:26] <WizardOfOz> trying with scanmodem

[07:26] <joshuah> lol, I gotta see this for myself
[07:26] <mhaedo> joshuah: www.ebay.com :)
[07:27] <bullgard> misterB: Yes, please. You have an 'nForce ethernet driver' which I am not familiar with.  (line 667) What does show '~$ ifconfig' about eth0 now?
[07:27] <joshuah> xD, makes sense
[07:28] <misterB> bullgard: it doesn't even list it.
[07:28] <joshuah> WizardOfOz: what happened? nothing came out? there is no terminal? there's no html file? there's nothing about a modem in the html file?
[07:28] <WizardOfOz> ugh
[07:28] <WizardOfOz> its okay i ll buy a new stupid modem
[07:28] <WizardOfOz> josh nop
[07:28] <joshuah> WizardOfOz: >.<, ok gl

[07:28] <tek__> whats a good external wifi adapter?
[07:28] <bullgard> misterB: Ah! Strange. Just a second.

[07:31] <bullgard> misterB: I agree that ppoeconf might be the culprit. But I do not know for sure.

[07:31] <Hellhound666> theadmin:  Hey everything is running smoothly so far with Xubuntu
[07:31] <misterB> bullgard: here's the output of ifconfig - http://paste.ubuntu.com/385545/
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> zane:  also lighter windowmanager/desktops are better for vnc

[07:32] <Neon0Blue> Can someone make a .deb for me? Because I CAN NOT get the ralink drivers installed through their source.

[07:33] <faileas> tek__ http://www.edimax.com/en/produce%5Fdetail.php?pd%5Fid=8&pl1%5Fid=1&pl2%5Fid=44
[07:33] <Neon0Blue> I downloaded it twice.
[07:33] <Neon0Blue> And tried other versions.
[07:33] <eXXe> its the 10/14th i have taken home
[07:33] <faileas> tek__: best adaptor i have ever owned. Master mode in windows, works without a glitch in linux ;)
[07:33] <Neon0Blue> It's missing a file or something.
[07:33] <bullgard> misterB: I saw that eth0 or eth1 are missing. --  Try '~$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart'. Does this work?
[07:33] <eXXe> i checked for bac tracks on the cd.. both with img burn and ubuntu
[07:33] <eXXe> everything ok
[07:34] <eXXe> i read that olde rmoderbordscould have some kinda problem

[07:35] <priyank_> hrllo
[07:35] <priyank_> hello
[07:35] <faileas> eXXe: a specific error message would help. I'd also suggest giving the LTS a shot, just to see
[07:35] <asha> hello there.. i m using ubuntu 9.10 from last four months in my dell vostro 9.10 and today morning suddenly keyboard n touchpad stopped working, any idea??

[07:37] <eXXe> tek: any idea how im gonna install xubuntu from my usbdrive?
[07:37] <faileas> tek__: its a rt73 - so i believe so, since the 2x00 driver (which is now part of the kernel) apparently supports it
[07:37] <asha> keyboard and touchpad stopd working suddenly this morning in my ubuntu9.10
[07:37] <bullgard> misterB: Try '~$ sudo mii-tool' followed by '~$ sudo dhclient eth0'." If eth0 does not work, try eth1.
[07:37] <asha> bullgard,
[07:37] <faileas> eXXe: also. did you try the alternate installer disks?
[07:37] <tek__> you would have to change your bios settings
[07:37] <sensae> My fresh install of ubuntu won't boot past "GRUB"
[07:37] <tek__> 1st to boot your usb
[07:37] <faileas> asha: tried it with a livecd or another os?

[07:40] <bullgard> !patience | priyank_
[07:41] <priyank_>  ok
[07:41] <faileas> priyank_: i don't think a 'proper' install is meant to switch between systems. some info about the systems would help as well
[07:41] <kyleabaker> can someone tell me where the Ubuntu 10.04 development channel is?
[07:41] <leopard> Hello fellow Ubuntu users! I have a question. How do I unify the two Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 splash screens? To clarify, after I select Ubuntu from the GRUB2 menu, a black background comes up with a white Ubuntu logo in the middle. After that, the brown xsplash comes up with a loading bar, and than the desktop. Well, what I want to do is have my own splash screen, just one of them, come up from the time Ubuntu is selected from the GRUB2 menu
[07:41] <leopard> , to the the I get my desktop. I have searched all over Google for the answer and posted on various Linux forums, all in search of the answer...Could you guys help me? Thanks in Advance! :)
[07:41] <eXXe> it sounds like my problem _
[07:41] <eXXe> ?
[07:42] <Hellhound666> I've had that problem too.  I installed mandrake on my external usb drive and same thing.
[07:42] <kyleabaker> where is the Ubuntu 10.04 development channel is?
[07:42] <Hellhound666> Until I changed the boot order to internal hdd then external.
[07:42] <ZykoticK9> leopard, just an FYI but what you are describing sounds just like what Plymouth does in Lucid...
[07:42] <Hellhound666> rather it skipped internal and went to my external when it was powered on.
[07:42] <misterB> bullgard: now I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/385548/
[07:42] <faileas> >_> i thought plymouth just failed .. might be cause i run the server build tho
[07:43] <nomad77> kyleabaker: #ubuntu+1 i think
[07:43] <ZykoticK9> kyleabaker, lucid discussion/support in #ubuntu+1 (are you really looking for the development channel, don't know that one)
[07:43] <Hellhound666> quad boot mode
[07:43] <misterB> bullgard: but network manager still has the same message so I'm going to try a restart.
[07:43] <kyleabaker> ZykoticK9: no, the Lucid channel, just wasn't sure what it was called. empathy won't give me a room list for some reason
[07:43] <kyleabaker> ZykoticK9: much appreciated!
[07:43] <lampliter> ubuntu 9.10 have problems with flash on amd64 machine.  followed suggestion in ubuntu bugzilla but no joy.  need solution to get wife off my back abuot her machiine being "broken"  :-)
[07:43] <bullgard> misterB: Just a moment. Ok?
[07:44] <eXXe> faileas. sorry for bothering you but im comming to console-mode efter the first meny. and then i tried different commands.. and what do you think i should write to install the files from my xubuntu cd_
[07:44] <eXXe> ?
[07:44] <ZykoticK9> kyleabaker, glad to help - see you in my other window in a moment ;)
[07:44] <asha> please do help, keyoard and touchpad issue, not working in vostro dell 1320
[07:44] <faileas> >_>
[07:44] <faileas> the installer is supposed to be curses based
[07:44] <leopard> ZykoticK9, what do you mean? Would upgrading to the beta/alpha version of Lucid Lynx resolve this issue, or is there a way to do it in my current version? Thanks for your reply!
[07:44] <tek__> where does the chat log save to?
[07:44] <faileas> leopard: he's saying the same thing happens in lucid...
[07:45] <ZykoticK9> leopard, no no no -- just that in Lucid there is a single boot eyecandy thing from grub until GDM
[07:45] <nitrate> !sound
[07:46] <sexcopter> hi, could someone tell me the reason why a gui-less install of ubuntu server comes with openoffice??
[07:46] <faileas> lol
[07:46] <faileas> it shouldn't
[07:46] <leopard> ZykoticK9, faileas: So how to I incorporate the Lucid Lynx boot splash into Karmic Koala?
[07:46] <SikEnCide> sexcopter pretty sure it doesnt
[07:46] <nbros652> bullgard: network manager still says "Wired Networks - device not managed"
[07:47] <p1oooop> ello everyone
[07:47] <bullgard> nbros652: Did you change your nick? I cannot associate your message.
[07:47] <sexcopter> SikEnCide: interesting, I seem to have it installed, don't recall installing it. anyway, no harm really in installing it, is there?
[07:48] <nbros652> bullgard: sorry, I didn't realize it did that to me. (misterB)
[07:48] <p1oooop> so, I have 2 mic inputs and one line in
[07:48] <ZykoticK9> leopard, don't know if that's possible (or advisable) plus you probably won't be happy with how Plymouth looks (it's not too exciting) -- plus Plymouth is causing "issues" right now in
[07:48] <p1oooop> I was wondering if I can change pulse to use my 2ndary mic input
[07:48] <justin22885> does anyone here use exaile?
[07:48] <eXXe> failreas: curses based installe rmenas like console right?

[07:49] <eXXe> newbee
[07:49] <bullgard> nbros652: I am somewhat lost. Is there a relationship between misterB and nbros652?
[07:49] <misterB> bullgard: network manager still says "Wired Networks - device not managed" ... sorry about the name change

[07:50] <bullgard> misterB: I take it as this: Your wired ethernet is connceted now. But your NetworkManager is confused. Do you agree?
[07:51] <p1oooop> aleksej: I remember there was something on that...
[07:51] <p1oooop> libcario libpango libgtk+?
[07:51] <misterB> bullgard: a restart wiped out eth0
[07:51] <aleksej> Only these packages?
[07:52] <misterB> bullgard: ifconfig is now back to showing only eth2 and lo

[07:56] <justin__> mp3 playback is dead...
[07:57] <misterB> bullgard: when I installed the ppa in my repositories as recommended by the tutorial, it updated 4 (I think) packages besides network-manager. Is there a way to find out what those packages were and go back and reinstall those as well?

[08:03] <sri1> Can anyone please tell me how to connect internet in ubuntu through BSNL  WLL modem?

[08:05] <Haffe> Hellhound666: What kind of schematic?
[08:05] <Hellhound666> I'm thinking about building an old school DC-PC serial cable!
[08:05] <Hellhound666> dreamcast to PC serial cable on linux
[08:05] <bullgard> misterB: Yes, I would try that.
[08:05] <Hellhound666> I only had the software for windows years ago
[08:05] <Haffe> Do you mean circuit diagrams or just general flow charts?
[08:05] <Hellhound666> linux seems more powerful

[08:24] <chd> and I get this error the following packages have unmet dependencies
[08:24] <chd> f-spot, libgnome2.24-cil, tomboy
[08:25] <yassin_> SLT LES X
[08:25] <KnifeySpooney> How much space should I open up on a partition on my USB flash drive (2GB) for an Ubuntu installer?
[08:26] <bullgard> chd: Your error message is incomplete. Please repeat your question adding a complete error message (in a nopaste service).
[08:26] <ardchoille> chd: can  you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources/list file so we can take a look?

[08:27] <ahmed> hi guys
[08:27] <chd> http://paste.ubuntu.com/385566/ sorry
[08:27] <Guest336> whats wrong with my nickname
[08:27] <Threetimes> Hi, I need something that displays the output of a script (or the contents of a file) in the gnome-panel like a ticker. Is there something available?
[08:27] <ardchoille> chd: that error message tells you how to fix it
[08:27] <KnifeySpooney> Guest336: the username 'ahmed' is probably registered
[08:28] <chd> apt-get -f install?
[08:28] <Guest336> ok
[08:28] <chd> k
[08:28] <ardchoille> chd: the last line
[08:28] <Guest336> how wants a lockerz invit ?
[08:28] <ardchoille> Guest336: don't post that here
[08:28] <bullgard> ardchoille: Your log recommends: "Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages." Did you do it?
[08:29] <Guest336> ok
[08:29] <ardchoille> bullgard: was that meant for chd?
[08:29] <chd> I tried that apt-get -f install thunderbird but no luck, same error
[08:29] <Guest336> i am having a problem with the my ubuntu downloaded from the site !
[08:29] <bullgard> ardchoille: Yes.
[08:29] <icewaterman> any idea how to create a compressed swap device? i just need a pointer where to look for.
[08:29] <bullgard> chd: Your log recommends: "Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages." Did you do it?
[08:30] <alankila> icewaterman: ramzswap?
[08:30] <ardchoille> chd: that lines specifically states "Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages", ie, "sudo apt-get -f install"
[08:30] <icewaterman> alankila: not in ram!
[08:30] <chd> bullgard: yea I did it
[08:30] <Guest336> md5 check sum .....
[08:30] <alankila> well, I only know how to make one in ram.
[08:30] <ardchoille> chd: with no packages?
[08:30] <ardchoille> chd: "sudo apt-get -f install"
[08:30] <icewaterman> alankila: i want a compressed swap on disk. the reason is simple: harddisk is slow, cpu is fast, i have a quadcore and that combo makes swap much faster if it is compressed
[08:30] <chd> http://paste.ubuntu.com/385567/
[08:31] <ardchoille> chd: "sudo apt-get -f install" and that's it, no packages
[08:31] <Guest336> help me please
[08:31] <chd> oh got you
[08:31] <ardchoille> chd: once that's done, then try installing thunderbird
[08:31] <alankila> well, I wager ramzswap is even faster :-p
[08:31] <chd> ardchoille: thank you it worked
[08:31] <ardchoille> yw
[08:32] <bullgard> chd: You did '~$ sudo apt-get -f install thunderbird' You should do: '~$ sudo apt-get -f install'.
[08:32] <chd> lol ya
[08:32] <Claptrap> So, anyone have any experience on Kongregate.com?
[08:32] <Guest336> i am making a bootable USB and i have a problem with the md5 check sum !any idea
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> Guest336:  what md5sum are you refering to?
[08:33] <Guest336> i dont know i just want to make a bootable USB !
[08:33] <KnifeySpooney> Guest336: IIRC, you have to do something different to calculate the checksum of a usb
[08:33] <Neon0Blue> I honestly need help with this D-link. Is there anyone here who has done it before?
[08:34] <Guest336> and it stopat 81%
[08:34] <crawler> Claptrap: cool site there.never been there before, you having trouble with it?
[08:34] <Claptrap> Yeah.
[08:35] <Claptrap> The games themselves work fine.
[08:35] <Claptrap> But they use a seperate server or somesuch for the chat and achievements, and it can't seem to connect to that.
[08:35] <Claptrap> Tried in Firefox, Opera and Chrome to no avail.
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> Guest27386:  you download the iso (or let unetbootin do it) check the md5sum of the iso. If its good.. then its good. if not.. redownload
[08:37] <KnifeySpooney> Claptrap: That's odd, Kongregate chat works fine for me on ffox on Ubuntu Karmic
[08:37] <Claptrap> Hmm. I wonder what basic thing I'm missing.
[08:37] <Claptrap> This is a very new install of Ubuntu.
[08:37] <Claptrap> Like, two days old. :p
[08:38] <KnifeySpooney> Haha. the only thing I can think of is to check if cookies are enabled, and if 'accept third-party cookies' is enabled
[08:38] <KnifeySpooney> but i think those are enabled by default
[08:38] <Claptrap> Yeah.
[08:38] <Sakara> mobius2: I tried the recovery-mode and there was nothing to be done there to fix my troubles
[08:39] <Claptrap> In one of the three browsers, if not all three. :p
[08:39] <Sakara> mobius2: attmpeded dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:39] <Sakara> it has not fixed the slowness or mousepad
[08:40] <crawler> Claptrap: have you tried seamonkey?  there are facebook games that don't work in any other broser except seamonkey (on linux)
[08:40] <crawler> or firefox in wine
[08:41] <Claptrap> I haven't. Can't hurt to try.
[08:41] <Dr_Willis> Most facebook games ive tried worked in FF or Google CHrome
[08:41] <Claptrap> Guess I should also see if NoScript or AdBlock+ are interfering
[08:41] <crawler> same here except on called yoville and farmville
[08:41] <jrtayloriv> I installed a new add-on (FoxyProxy) to Firefox, and when I clicked "Restart" firefox crashed. Now every time I open up firefox and go to the addons menu, it still tells me I need to restart, and crashes every time I try. How do I fix this?
[08:41] <crawler> Dr_Willis: farmville works on linux, but it glitches
[08:41] <Dr_Willis> Farmville works here on FF in linux and gogole chrome in linux
[08:41] <Dr_Willis> not seen any issues . but i dont play it a lot
[08:42] <crawler> Dr_Willis: it could be an intel thing, or just this laptop
[08:42] <almoxarife> farmville open source? :)
[08:42] <crawler> Claptrap: it never hurts to try ff in safemode too
[08:43] <Claptrap> Yeah.
[08:43] <crawler> almoxarife: not that i know of, its a flash based browser game
[08:43] <rastasean> rastasean: sleep
[08:44] <crawler> jrtayloriv: you can try uninstalling the extension in safe mode
[08:44] <Claptrap> Still a no-go on Seamonkey.
[08:44] <rabbit1> how to get those running application in the bottom of the desktop ?
[08:44] <rabbit1> in a 3d view
[08:45] <lorenzo_>  #ubuntu-it
[08:45] <lorenzo_>  #ubuntu-it-chat
[08:45] <crawler> Claptrap: try firefox in wine, sometimes if wil work
[08:45] <Claptrap> I'm gonna try a simple-stupid reboot and see if it helps.
[08:45] <Claptrap> I'll try that next. Thanks, guys.

[08:48] <almoxarife> java test site at java tells me I don't have java installed in chrome, chrome tells me I do in about:plugins, I am confused
[08:49] <rabbit1> how to get those running application in the bottom of the desktop in a 3d view?
[08:49] <ardchoille> rabbit1: sounds like you're talking about a dock.awn is nice
[08:49] <Trinity33> it doit doesnt <nouwanda> tried gedit and cant open it
[08:50] <ardchoille> !info avant-window-navigator | rabbit1

[08:51] <happosade> What is GPG keys ID
[08:51] <rabbit1> ardchoille: thx
[08:51] <happosade> Is that 4*8 string (I would like to use my GPG with Evolution)
[08:51] <almoxarife> I want to have a wallpaper that is my syslog scrolling in realtime, any ideas? in gnome
[08:52] <ardchoille> rabbit1: also you might want to install awn-applets-c-extras and awn-applets-python-extras for some extra goodies
[08:52] <rabbit1> ardchoille: i just installed from SPM, it took that both dependencies i guess
[08:53] <crawler> almoxarife: it should be possible with conky
[08:53] <almoxarife> conky?
[08:54] <brnmrt> salve a tutti
[08:54] <crawler> !conky | almoxarife
[08:54] <almoxarife> found it, thnks
[08:55] <rabbit1> ardchoille: i just installed one file awn-pyton
[08:55] <ZykoticK9> almoxarife, check out root-tail, will display logs onto of your regular wallpaper
[08:55] <rabbit1> ardchoille:  i dint find any of the file u said in SPM
  tnx will try it now
 no problem , keep me posted if you need, used netbeans everyday so i can help you
[08:56] <ardchoille> rabbit1: you should be using the repos first
[08:56] <ardchoille> whatever SPM is, that shouldn't even be an option until you've used the repos
[08:56] <ardchoille> I never install anything outside the repos, this is probably why I've never had any problems with ubuntu in 5 years
[08:57] <misterB> bullgard: no luck
[08:57] <lorenzo__> #ubuntu-it
[08:57] <rabbit1> ardchoille: i have installed now how ?
[08:57] <lorenzo__> #ubuntu-it-chat
[08:57] <misterB> bullgard: and no more time to mess with it right now. I'll have to live with just wireless for now.
[08:59] <^sn00per^> 1
[08:59] <^sn00per^> is there a way i can set  the lcd brightness on keys ?
[09:00] <ardchoille> rabbit1: ?
[09:01] <^sn00per^> hi  RS
[09:01] <rabbit1> ardchoille: s
[09:01] <^sn00per^> damn keys
[09:01] <rabbit1> ardchoille: was just checking, how can i use it now?
[09:01] <^sn00per^> hi ardchoille
[09:01] <ardchoille> rabbit1: There should be a new menu entry in Accessories
[09:01] <Threetimes> Hi, I need something that displays the output of a script (or the contents of a file) in the gnome-panel like a ticker. Is there something available?
[09:02] <ardchoille> ^sn00per^: hi :)
[09:02] <rabbit1> ardchoille: yeap, i got it
[09:03] <rabbit1> ardchoille: thx a lot dude, going on weel
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> Threetimes:  i recall some 'systray swallow' app that you probrely could use to 'embed' such a app in a panel If you had some ticker app.
[09:03] <ardchoille> rabbit1: yw :)
[09:04] <Curly_Q> Can sudo aptitude update safe-upgrade be trusted?
[09:04] <web5|org|ua> [only root can mount...] how to propperly write in fstab option to mount ntfs partition for all ?
[09:06] <rabbit1> ardchoille: now i should find themes and how to install it, if i install in appearances wil that be nough for dock also?
[09:06] <Dr_Willis> web5|org|ua:  install/run the ntfs-config program - it might automate it
[09:07] <web5|org|ua> Dr_Willis: thanks
[09:07] <ardchoille> rabbit1: nope, you have to use the awn manager, it should be in Accessories too. If not, alt+f and run awn-manager
[09:08] <ardchoille> rabbit1:  http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=Themes
[09:08] <Curly_Q> I don't get it. Ubuntu User account can use apt-get and update the system but User cannot Halt the box unless it is root?
[09:08] <rabbit1> ardchoille: i got the manager, ok that page will do nough, thx
[09:08] <Neon0Blue> ok Modprobe keeps giving me an annoying error.
[09:08] <Neon0Blue> "sudo modprobe rt3070sta
[09:08] <Neon0Blue> FATAL: Error inserting rt3070sta (/lib/modules/2.6.31-19-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt3070sta.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)"
[09:08] <ardchoille> rabbit1: and you can unpack an existing theme and make your own, it's quite easy
[09:09] <Neon0Blue> And when I go into dmesg it says

[09:09] <sabat> psycho_oreos & joshua: little late on my reply, but just so you know it all works
[09:10] <rabbit1> ardchoille: this is great, i was trying with the panel till date, din;t know exactly, thx
[09:10] <Neon0Blue> Does anyone know how to fix this?
[09:11] <web5|org|ua> Dr_Willis: now can't unmount !
[09:12] <Neon0Blue> Can anyone help?
[09:12] <rabbit1> ardchoille: one last query, whts the keyboard shortcut to bring it up from autohide?
[09:13] <ardchoille> rabbit1: no idea, haven't used it in ages
[09:13] <ardchoille> rabbit1: iirc, you can set that in the awn options
[09:14] <linuxpjc780> What is the best anti-virus software for Ubuntu 9.10?  Is anti-spyware/adware/malware software needed?  I am running ClamTk right now for anti-virus.  People say Linux/Ubuntu is resistant - but I doubt it is COMPLETELY resistant to infection ...
[09:16] <^sn00per^> linux is  still resistant just harder g
[09:16] <^sn00per^> er
[09:18] <linuxpjc780> ^snooper^ - what do you mean by "resistant, just harder" ???
[09:18] <^sn00per^> linuxpjc780,  linux is still resistant just harder to get infected because of all permissions that has been set
[09:18] <yogoppe> cat /proc/cpuinfo speed 183.879 cpu mgz without module speedstep-smi.  with speedstep-smi cpufreq performace = 700mgz and powersave = 550mgz
[09:18] <yogoppe> was wondering if the 189.879 mgz is correct or is it just a misreading?
[09:19] <linuxpjc780> ^snooper^ - OK, so how hard is it for a hacker to get around the permissions?
[09:20] <rastasean> can anyone help me with ice cast and streaming video?
[09:21] <iceroot> i am upgrading my system, because of low space i want to remove ubuntu-desktop, then upgrade and install ubuntu-desktop again. will there be problems if the programs from 9.10 detecting old configs in my ~/.programname? maybe someone tried that already?
[09:21] <Curly_Q> Is it possible to install a GUI on top of an i386 server installation with apt-get. I found this: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/category/kde/     <---<  Will that work?
[09:22] <iceroot> Curly_Q: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop  then you have the normal ubuntu gui
[09:22] <yellowbabe> linuxpjc780: depends on the strenght of users passwords
[09:22] <faileas> Curly_Q: yeah. either with one of the standard desktop installs, or from scratch
[09:22] <Curly_Q> The install is done. So when I reboot will I get the GUI?
[09:23] <almoxarife> linuxpjc780: I think for ubuntu what you are mostly needing is a 'rootkit' checker running on a sched, maybe?
[09:23] <^sn00per^> linuxpjc780,  um you would depend on how good your firewall is set up and yellowbabe  is right about strength of passwords
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> Curly_Q:  its possible.. try 'sudo service gdm start' and see if it sarts up
[09:24] <Curly_Q> I had the hardest time installing Ubuntu Desktop and Kubuntu. I installed i386 server and it works nice.
[09:24] <khang> in GNUsim8085 , when i give opcode " mvi  a,ffH " , it say : invalid oprand or symbol  , anyone help ?
[09:24] <linuxpjc780> almoxarife & ^snooper^ - Yeah, can I get some assitance get a rootki checker running on a schedule - and a good firewall setup?
[09:25] <ardchoille> linuxpjc780: you install rkhunter and it will setup a cronjob itself. you can also run chkrootkit too
[09:26] <ardchoille> linuxpjc780: is the4re any reason you need a firewall?
[09:26] <almoxarife> linuxpjc780: I can't tell you what your firewall needs are, I use 'firestarter', its simple or complex as you want it to get
[09:27] <almoxarife> linuxpjc780: your router should be doing firewall already, I assume you get out via a router
[09:28] <ardchoille> on a default ubuntu install, there's really nothing open for anyone to connect to
[09:28] <lorenzo_> #ubuntu-it
[09:28] <ardchoille> Though you can use firestarter or ufw if you need to
[09:29] <lorenzo_> #ubuntu-it-chat
[09:29] <ardchoille> lorenzo:  /join #ubuntu-it
[09:29] <morph> i just downloaded thunderbird from its website and it extracted to a folder with a bunch of files in it, how do i install it?
[09:30] <morph> anyone?
[09:30] <ardchoille> morph: you install thunderbird with : sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[09:30] <ardchoille> and delete the package you downloaded from the tb site
[09:30] <morph> will it be the newest version?
[09:30] <a> hi. my network manager takes too long (2-3 mins) to connect to my home wifi network. my machine is a dell and the wifi chipset is broadcom. is there anyway of speeding up wifi connectivity?
[09:30] <morph> in the ubuntu software center its an old version
[09:31] <almoxarife> ardchoille: I use firestarter cause it has a simple rules making frontend, ufw was too complicated for me
[09:31] <yellowbabe> morph it will be the right one for ubuntu compatible libs etc
[09:31] <a> by speeding up .. i mean connecting ... not actual data speed
[09:31] <linuxpjc780> ardchoille & almoxarife - Yeah, so I can get rkhunter and chkrootkit in the Ubuntu Software Center?  Or are they Terminal commands?  I want to be able to track network activity on my computer - similar to Zone Alarm in Windows ...  I am running wireless on a router.  I have double-encryption - with WPA Personal and a MAC filter set up ...
[09:31] <Curly_Q> By the way, it is nice to see you again Ardchoille and Dr Willis.
[09:31] <ardchoille> it will be the newest version available from the repos and it will be automatically updated for bug fixes and security updates. Otherwise you have to do all that yourself
[09:31] <yellowbabe> ubnut is pretty up to date
[09:32] <almoxarife> linuxpjc780: firestarter will monitor the wifi if you tell it to, and will indicate what is connected to what
[09:32] <ardchoille> linuxpjc780: rkhunter and chkrootkit don't track anything, they are rootkit scanners that you have to run.
[09:32] <morph> yea
[09:32] <morph> that didnt work
[09:32] <ardchoille> morph:  it will be the newest version available from the repos and it will be automatically updated for bug fixes and security updates. Otherwise you have to do all that yourself
[09:32] <morph> can u just tell me how to install that folder?
[09:32] <linuxpjc780> I don't understand "repos" quite yet.  So I go to the Ubuntu Repositories website, search for rkhunter and chkrootkit on there - and then download it from there?
[09:33] <morph> this is version 2 something
[09:33] <morph> the newest is 3
[09:33] <almoxarife> linuxpjc780: use synaptic
[09:33] <ardchoille> linuxpjc780: sudo apt-get install rkhunter chkrootkit
[09:33] <ardchoille> linuxpjc780: or you can search in synaptic
[09:34] <Curly_Q> Is Linux affected by that stupid virus with the Red Oblong box in the center of the screen as Windows?
[09:34] <ardchoille> Curly_Q: there aren't any active Linux viruses atm
[09:34] <Curly_Q> Glad to hear that Ardchoille.
[09:34] <ardchoille> Curly_Q: just be careful of what you download and don't open any strange email attachments
[09:35] <morph> ardchoille, im trying to install an addon and i get this msg
[09:35] <sabat> does ubuntu 9.10 install ati catalyst drivers by default? and if so what version, I expected to see it in hardware drivers, but its not there, do I need to install them manually?
[09:35] <Curly_Q> I agree.  Any executable is not open.
[09:35] <ironbee> anyone knows any application for managing a shop
[09:35] <morph> it is not compatible with Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 (Enigmail 1.0.1 will only work with Thunderbird versions 3.0pre to 3.0.*)
[09:35] <ironbee> i have a book shop and im switching to ubuntu there
[09:36] <Curly_Q> Ardchoille, do I need to be cautious about apt-gets?
[09:36] <ardchoille> Curly_Q: read this to learn why Linux is safer: http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/02/linux-and-viruses.html
[09:36] <ardchoille> Curly_Q: not really, as long as you trsut any repos you add
[09:36] <srinivasa> hi please suggest on camera detection software.
[09:37] <almoxarife> linuxpjc780: rkhunter works in background checking every x startups I think, btw, as one who uses windows and ubuntu, I see windows infected a lot, never saw my ubuntu side infected, that's NEVER, still, if there is peace of mind I suggest rkhunter
[09:37] <ardchoille> morph: both thunderbird and enigmail are in the repos, I can't help much with stuff from outside the repos
[09:37] <sabat> how can I tell what video card is in my system, I know it's ati
[09:37] <linuxpjc780> ardchoille & almoxarife - OK, I'm installing the rkhunter and chkrootkit right now.  Where do I get firestarter - from the repositority website?
[09:37] <nibbler> sabat: sudo lspci
[09:37] <ardchoille> sabat: lspci | grep -i VGA
[09:37] <Curly_Q> Good article Ardchoille. Social Engineering and Risky Microsoft Engineering.
[09:37] <ardchoille> linuxpjc780: yes
[09:37] <almoxarife> linuxpjc780: from synaptic
[09:38] <almoxarife> linuxpjc780: installing how?
[09:39] <linuxpjc780> archoille & almoxarife - Installing via Terminal.  For firestarter, let me guess: sudo apt-get firestarter?
[09:39] <sabat> it's a radeon xpress 200m, nothing great I know
[09:39] <ardchoille> linuxpjc780: you're installing these from the command line or from synatpic right? you're not downloading packages from archive.ubuntu.com?
[09:39] <ardchoille> linuxpjc780: yes
[09:39] <Curly_Q> Ardchoille, is that your server that I read that article? Looks pretty good.
[09:39] <linuxpjc780> ardchoille - when you say "synaptic", are talking about Terminal?
[09:39] <a> anyone?
[09:39] <ardchoille> Curly_Q: no, it's my blog at blogspot
[09:40] <Curly_Q> I see. Thanks for that article.
[09:40] <ardchoille> linuxpjc780: no, synaptic is a gui for installing packages: System Administration > Synaptic
[09:40] <sabat> what is the proper method to update to the newest or more stable drivers? the current ones are not working properly, so I was going to try that first.
[09:40] <morph> ardchoille, im trying to read an encrypted email from launchpad
[09:40] <morph> i couldnt read it in gmail
[09:40] <sabat> I already ran the general ubuntu updates.
[09:40] <morph> which is why im trying to install this crpa
[09:42] <darolu> sabat: what kind of video card do you have?
[09:42] <darolu> sabat: what drivers are you trying to update? (I asumed video card sry)
[09:42] <Curly_Q> I noticed that when installing Ubuntu, it showed that BSD was being installed and Debian. What is that all about?
[09:43] <sabat> It's a ati radeon 200m
[09:43] <Haffe> Wouldn't that be packages from BSD and Debian?
[09:43] <sabat> it's built into my laptop
[09:43] <Curly_Q> Possibly.
[09:43] <darolu> Curly_Q: you can expect to find the name "Debian" a lot, Ubuntu is based on Debian; about BSD.. you probably saw a BSD licensed software
[09:43] <ardchoille> Curly_Q: there are some packages based on BSD and debian code
[09:43] <Curly_Q> I see. Thanks.
[09:44] <sabat> I can run 3d games in windows fine, I don't run anything hardcore. but like, even quake won't do opengl properly, so I assumed maybe a video driver update would help
[09:44] <ardchoille> !info bsdutils
[09:44] <linuxpjc780> ardchoille & almoxarife - OK, right.  Synaptic is definitely easier.  But if I ran the command in Terminal, and once it finishes installing - where do I access rkhunter and chkrootkit now?  In what directory were the applications placed?
[09:44] <sabat> how can I tell what version of video driver I am using? and any chance someone knows what the latest ati is?
[09:44] <darolu> sabat: are you sure that's the video card model? I can't find it
[09:45] <ardchoille> linuxpjc780: those two are command line apps, yuou'll need to run them in a terminal. and I recommend reading their man pages too
[09:45] <darolu> sabat: open a terminal and type: lspci | grep VGA
[09:45] <ardchoille> [01:37] <ardchoille> sabat: lspci | grep -i VGA
[09:45] <Curly_Q> What is the best IRC Client besides Mirc with Linux these days? I have used BitchX.
[09:46] <ardchoille> Curly_Q: many folks use xchat, some use irssi (text-based)
[09:46] <ThinkSteve> Curly_Q: Konversation, Xchat, irssi ...
[09:46] <sabat> 01:05.0 VGA compatable controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M]
[09:46] <wojcienty> elo
[09:46] <josephg> Curly_Q: without doubt irssi
[09:46] <orson> !best | Curly_Q
[09:46] <darolu> Curly_Q: I use XChat, remember, there is no such thing as "best" software
[09:46] <wojcienty> pomo┼╝e kto┼ø z konfiguracja rozdzielczo┼øci ??
[09:47] <ardchoille> !pl | wojcienty
[09:47] <wojcienty> ok chc─Ö sie  przesi─ģ┼ø─ć na linuxa i nic nie umiem :/
[09:47] <linuxpjc780> ardchoille - OK, so I ran the install command for them in Terminal.  Where do I get their manual [pages] - to know how to use them in Terminal (i.e. what commands to enter)?
[09:48] <sabat> I'm using xchat, but in windows I normally use mirc
[09:48] <sabat> I used to use bitchx with the crackrock addon, miss that.
[09:48] <ardchoille> linuxpjc780: man rkhunter  and  man chkrootkit
[09:48]  * Justme`` Nice money making methods for noobs like me. http://www.wegivedollars.com It's not my website but I earned 121$ only today with those methods. I hope I don't get a bann...
[09:48] <darolu> sabat: sorry, your video card is not supported for newest xorg version; ATI stopped supporting your card (among others) on february 2009
[09:49] <darolu> sabat: this is the "legacy driver" webpage: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.7&product=2.7.4.3.3.3.1&lang=English
[09:49] <sabat> ok
[09:49] <Curly_Q> I am using Pirch98 right now. It is one of the best IRC Clients I have ever used. I am looking forward to using Xchat again and others.
[09:49] <sabat> so, does that mean I am SOL, or that I need to install an older driver or what
[09:49] <basajaun> http://pastebin.com/GrnB6rQf Can somebody have a look at tis and help me sort out the mount mess
[09:49] <darolu> sabat: if you want to use the proprietary driver, you can install Ubuntu 8.04; not sure if installing and old kernel/xserver would work
[09:50] <sarthor> Hi, in ubuntu, i fix 3 lan cards, and ubunntu give name to that lan cards like, eth0, eth1, eth2, Now i remove the 2 lan cards, and only one eth2 remaining, How can i change this eth2 to eth0, from where we can change or clear these ethX name,
[09:51] <frogzoo> /etc/iftab
[09:51] <sabat> if I install 8.04, and run the updates, will it mess up that driver do you think?
[09:51] <ardchoille> linuxpjc780: the first thing you should dl with rkhunter is run these two commands: sudo rkhunter --update
[09:51] <Curly_Q> I have seen software that utilizes a Web based program that connects to IRC. Is there one for Linux?
[09:51] <ardchoille> linuxpjc780: sudo rkhunter --propupd
[09:51] <darolu> sabat: no, it means you need older Linux kernel and Xserver; if you absolutely need to use the proprietary driver install Ubuntu 8.04 LTS; a lot of us are really upset about ATI not supporting our video cards anymore =( anyways the open driver is not bad
[09:51] <darolu> sabat: No, it wont' mess it up
[09:52] <sergio__> ola
[09:52] <darolu> just don't upgrade to a newer distro version
[09:52] <sabat> oh, ok
[09:52] <sabat> so just revert, and I should be ok
[09:52] <sabat> will do

[09:54] <llutz> sarthor: check  /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[09:55] <Curly_Q> Sarthor, why not just put back the original eth0 card in that pci slot? It will see the MAC address of that card.
[09:56] <paddy_melon> rver irc.rizon.net
[09:56] <sarthor> Curly_Q, yes, i  can do that, but just for learning, i asked.
[09:56] <Curly_Q> OK I understand.

[09:57] <vegar_> A desktop machine with several users runs 9.10. The users do not have sudo privileges and should not have it either. The machine has two ntfs partitions which the users should be able to mount e.g by clicking the partition name in "Places"
[09:57] <sarthor> llutz, thanks bro.
[09:57] <linuxpjc780> ardchoille - can you help me configure Firestarter, now that I have it installed?  I am on a wireless connection via a router ...
[09:57] <vegar_> However, this does not work since I'm guessing internal drives need sudo to mount
[09:57] <ardchoille> linuxpjc780: I don't use it
[09:57] <vegar_> how can the regular desktop users mount the partitions? what is the recommended way?
[09:58] <llutz> sarthor: you even can delete that file, it should be created new with next boot
[09:58] <linuxpjc780> Does anyone else know how to configure Firestarter to work as it should - if you are on a wireless connection?
[09:58] <glorika> olaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[09:59] <madjoe> Should I rather install a new version of Ubuntu from the scratch, or should I just go with the Update?

[10:02] <madjoe> Should I rather install a new version of Ubuntu from the scratch, or should I just go with the Update?
[10:02] <ardchoille> knoppies: I just use nautilus
[10:02] <knoppies> madjoe, I had a bad experience with updating a few years back, so now I always do fresh/clean installs.
[10:02] <knoppies> thanks ardchoille I will give it a try.
[10:03] <madjoe> knoppies: thanks man, you saved me hours to figure that out by myself

[10:04] <llutz> q0_0p: depends on your netmask
[10:05] <llutz> q0_0p: use this http://www.subnet-calculator.com/
[10:05] <knoppies> madjoe, some people have had good experiences with updating, but I like to start fresh, then I know whats going on.
[10:05] <basajaun> http://paste.ubuntu.com/385599/ please help with fstab config?
[10:05] <q0_0p> llutz, i know its class A
[10:05] <q0_0p> llutz, i just dont know what subnetmask i would have
[10:05] <madjoe> knoppies: hm.. now I have second thoughts...
[10:06] <q0_0p> llutz, class A is like 1-127 B 128-191 class C 192 -->
[10:06] <glorika> cuantos  a├▒os tienes
[10:06] <ardchoille> glorika:  Por favor, dejen, vaya a #ubuntu-es
[10:07] <knoppies> madjoe, get a second opinion then. But I still think a clean install is a good idea. I would backup anything in your home partition before formatting.
[10:07] <linuxpjc780> yellowbabe - I don't know if ufw is installed.  I'm pretty new to Ubuntu ...
[10:07] <glorika> tu quien eres
[10:08] <madjoe> knoppies: I plan to backup everything by using this approach - http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html
[10:08] <almoxarife> madjoe: I recommend clean also, 9.04 to 9.10 was crappy thru upgrade
[10:09] <darolu> basajaun: what is the problem? everything seems all right to me. did you create all the mount points directories?
[10:09] <madjoe> almoxarife: thanks, dude... I just made a clean install of 9.10 and waiting for a decision on 10.4
[10:09] <q0_0p> how can an ip of 99.x.x.x have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255?
[10:09] <tuxnani> when can i place order for ubuntu 10.04
[10:10] <tuxnani> is there telugu version of ubuntu?
[10:11] <almoxarife> madjoe: I am going to run 10.4 on virtualbox, then decide if I want to bother with the install, and it will still be a clean install, I finally figured out that keeping the home and etc folders backed up is all one really needs to return the sys to what it was
[10:11] <ardchoille> almoxarife: you do realize that 10.04 is still in development and hasn't been released yet, right?
[10:11] <madjoe> almoxarife: what do you use for a backup? have you tried http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html ?
[10:12] <almoxarife> ardchoille: I do
[10:12] <ardchoille> ok
[10:12] <almoxarife> madjoe: nice and simple 'sback' with a gui even
[10:12] <basajaun> darolu  I have used an app called pysdm and I haven edited the fstab myself but what annoys me id the fact some drive are mounted with another label on reboot so some programs (music) have to rescan for files or give errors
[10:13] <almoxarife> madjoe: 'sbackup' I mean
[10:13] <Curly_Q> 255.0.0.0=Class A
[10:13] <Curly_Q> 255.255.0.0=Class B
[10:13] <Curly_Q> 255.255.255.0=Class C
[10:13] <Curly_Q> 255.255.255.255=Sub C subnet
[10:13] <FloodBot2> Curly_Q: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:13] <madjoe> almoxarife: ok, I'm on it..
[10:14] <darolu> basajaun: change the mountpoints to whatever your apps are using; right now they are being mounted to /media/sdXX, go to your music app and see what directory is it looking files from and edit your fstab file accordingly; remember you have to create the mount points directories too
[10:14] <almoxarife> what about the new ubuntu, is it worth the install?
[10:14] <llutz> Curly_Q: 255.255.255.255=ptp
[10:15] <Parsi> how can i find out my vga driver installed properly?
[10:16] <darolu> almoxarife: yes, it is neat.
[10:16] <linuxpjc780> Does anyone know how to configure the Firestarter firewall to monitor a WiFi connection?
[10:16] <almoxarife> neat? :)
[10:16] <zinox> the bestboot is very dangerous.. somebody can type "the best app command line is "rm -rf *" so, any newbie ubuntu user damage your system typing that.
[10:16] <darolu> cool? :)
[10:16] <basajaun> darolu how do I do that ?
[10:17] <Parsi> how can i find out my vga driver installed properly?
[10:17] <almoxarife> linuxpjc780: if your wifi is anything like my setup I would look for wlan0
[10:17] <almoxarife> wlan(x) linuxpjc780
[10:18] <Shawe> buenas
[10:18] <darolu> basajaun: open a terminal and type: sudo mkdir /media/<yourdirectory> then go to your fstab file (gksu gedit /etc/fstab) and change the mount points accordingly, right now they all are /media/sdXX that's the part you need to change so they match your music app directories

[10:18] <basajaun> ok will do
[10:19] <basajaun> ty darolu
[10:19] <almoxarife> linuxpjc780: there will be two places to monitor, on a wifi connection both local and internet are wlan(x), unless you have both wifi and ether on the same machine
[10:20] <Shawe> darolu, yes, I see this, normally but default it join to ubuntu-es, I don't know why know is different
[10:20] <linuxpjc780> almoxarife - I don't get "wlan(x)" for options in the "Detected Devices" drop-down in the wizard ...  Does this mean the software hasn't detected my wireless connection?  If so, how do I get it to do so?
[10:21] <madjoe> almoxarife: sweet.. thanks for that info about sbackup.. I'm a new Ubuntu user... is it possible to use that user settings automatically on a new installation of the same branch?
[10:22] <madjoe> almoxarife: I use wubi installation and I'm looking for nice and easy way to make it a native installation of Ubuntu
[10:22] <almoxarife> madjoe: I use wubi too
[10:23] <madjoe> I plan to make it a real installation... Wubi is an implementation for Windows to run Ubuntu like a program, lot's of risks, simple defragg of NTFS brings system down, bad performance, hard recovery, bad support.
[10:23] <almoxarife> linuxpjc780: is your connection via wifi?
[10:23] <linuxpjc780> Yes - wireless.
[10:23] <Tm_T> madjoe: backup the data you need and then reinstall
[10:24] <Tm_T> madjoe: there's no (reasonable) way to migrate from wubi to proper installation
[10:24] <almoxarife> madjoe: I am waiting for the wubi 10.4 also, suppose to be able to fake it with betas
[10:24] <linuxpjc780> almoxarife - the modem is run into a wireless router that then broadcasts the signal, that is.  So orignally, its a hard-wired connection.
[10:24] <Flannel> madjoe, Tm_T: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=438591
[10:24] <madjoe> Tm_T: I know.. but can I use that backup on a new installation, to avoid all that setup, tweaks and installing custom applications I need?
[10:25] <Tm_T> madjoe: your user settings can be used, and you can export list of installed packages and use that in new install to get the same
[10:25] <madjoe> Flannel: wow.. this is why I love Open source squad.. lol .. thanks man!
[10:25] <almoxarife> linuxpjc780: try this, restart your machine into ubuntu, bring up firestarter, then see if 'wlan(x) is an option
[10:25] <llutz> madjoe: tar your installation, use live-cd to create a "real" partition, untar your tar to it, repair fstab and grub
[10:26] <madjoe> llutz: danke sch├Čn
[10:28] <madjoe> llutz: how can I repair fstab and grub? do you have some hints for me?
[10:28] <almoxarife> madjoe: once you have the new install in place the only thing left is to re-install packages you may not have installed in the clean, the home and etc folders should have the conf's from the setup you had before for what ever you had that was extra
[10:28] <llutz> madjoe: when running from live-cd, check "blkid" for UUIDs of / and swap, use those in your /etc/fstab then

[10:34] <linuxuz3r>  how do i gdb this program.out < inputfile
[10:35] <abhi_nav> router*, 'special'*
[10:35] <llutz> abhi_nav: so you have to install that apps on your router, not your pc. for "special-sites" think about using a vpn
[10:35] <knoppies> abhi_nav, One method of doing what you want to do (not sure if its the best method) is to use an encrypted VPN, but I think ssh might be what your looking for.
[10:36] <linuxuz3r> please
[10:36] <abhi_nav> llutz: knoppies : ok
[10:36] <knoppies> abhi_nav, some of the better routers have VPN settings in them, but as llutz said, you probably want to install it on your PC, not your router.
[10:37] <abhi_nav> llutz: & knoppies: by router I mean my ISP has given me one box called as router from which I connect to Internet
[10:37] <linuxpjc780> almoxarife - yes, the wizard automatically comes up after you open Firestarter.  Still no wfla in the Detected Devices drop-down ...
[10:37] <llutz> abhi_nav: if you don't trust your ISP, use your own router
[10:37] <abhi_nav> llutz: hmmm
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> if you dont trust your isp.. change isps ?
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> or pay for a proxy service.
[10:37] <llutz> Dr_Willis: ^^ :)
[10:37] <almoxarife> linuxpjc780: wlan
[10:37] <abhi_nav> Dr_willis: haa haa :)
[10:37] <knoppies> llutz, abhi_nav, they would still be able to sniff your traffic woudlnt they?
[10:38] <knoppies> Dr_Willis, we suggested VPN over Proxy.
[10:38] <madjoe> llutz: if I use tar/untar, then I don't need sbackup or anything like that... right? do you think it's a better option? sure, I don't have to manually tweak my new applications again, but is it a secure enough to give it a try?
[10:38] <linuxpjc780> almoxarife - wlan, that's what I meant ... still not showing ...
[10:38] <llutz> knoppies: sure they are, question is why they should (as it costs money)
[10:38] <abhi_nav> knoppies: actually I have instaled tor but I dont use it because it slows my speed
[10:38] <abhi_nav> knoppies: Dr_Willis: llutz: is there any free encrypted vpn service? I am student.
[10:38] <llutz> madjoe: i don't know sbackup, i'm using only tar/rsync for this tasks, but other tools may work too
[10:39] <linuxuz3r> guys hu
[10:39] <linuxuz3r> hi
[10:39] <linuxuz3r> any gdb expert here?
[10:39] <llutz> madjoe: you just have to make sure, that all stuff except /dev /proc /sys is copied, and the permissions will be stored too
[10:40] <knoppies> llutz, Im not sure what kind of logs they keep, but they could use scripts to do the dirty work. abhi_nav is probably just being paranoid, but here in New Zealand they are comming out with laws to prevent Piracy and the ISPs are obliged to obey the law.
[10:40] <riveraj> gud day! can i use squid to log all websites accessed by workstations inside the network?
[10:40] <abhi_nav> knoppies: Dr_Willis: llutz: does vn slows down my speed as that of tor does?
[10:40] <llutz> knoppies: same here in .de but for "antiterror-purposes" :(
[10:40] <knoppies> abhi_nav, it depends what kind of VPN you use, in theory yes, will it be noticeable? depends on which vpn you use.
[10:41] <abhi_nav> knoppies: hmm

[10:42] <knoppies> abhi_nav, my brother uses a free VPN service so that hey gets a US 'external IP' for some websites, I think its called hotspot, but I dont use it myself so Im not sure.
[10:42] <knoppies> abhi_nav, as its an open/free/anybody can use it VPN, expect it to be slow.
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> abhi_nav:   tor is a major slowdown... id hope a vpn is no where near as bad
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> abhi_nav:  if you want a good service you will have to pay for it.
[10:42] <xfact> ?
[10:42] <xfact> ?
[10:42] <xfact> ?
[10:42] <abhi_nav> knoppies: Dr_Willis: llutz: why I am being paranoid is within last 2 moth my pc was 2 times automatically suddenly shuted down and for 3-4 times automatically logged out. Other reason is that i want to access that 'special sites'
[10:42] <FloodBot2> xfact: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:42] <linuxpjc780> Does anyone know how to get Firestarter to detect my wireless network?
[10:42] <ef> does apt-get has intel3945 wlan driver??
[10:43] <Dr_Willis> abhi_nav:   theres paranoid - then there tinfoil hat paranoid.
[10:43] <abhi_nav> Dr_Willis: hmm
[10:43] <abhi_nav> Dr_Willis: :D
[10:43] <Dr_Willis> dont install any services you dont need... and so forth..
[10:43] <Dr_Willis> set up an y servces to only listen to local lan.. yadda yadda....
[10:43] <abhi_nav> Dr_Willis: ok
[10:43] <knoppies> abhi_nav, autoshutdown? sounds more like a trojan than your ISP, some random restarts could be caused by an underpowered PSU.
[10:44] <Dr_Willis> of course pcs are also able to auto shut down on overheat i belove.
[10:44] <llutz> sounds more like a hardware issue than something spy-related
[10:44] <abhi_nav> knoppies: yah its auto shut down. suddenlly happens
[10:44] <madjoe> llutz: with this command you gave me "sudo tar --one-file-system -cvf /media/external/myinstall.tar /" I would tar everything.. so, do you suggest to tar everything except /dev /proc /sys?
[10:44] <knoppies> Dr_Willis, sounds more like alienating yourself than being paranoid. talk about OTT.
[10:44] <abhi_nav> Overheat may be one of the majore reason here
[10:45] <abhi_nav> Because my pc really overheats
[10:45] <jbu> hi all, is there a widget/desklet app for ubuntu/gnome with more selection than gdesklets?
[10:45] <knoppies> abhi_nav, clean out the dust from your case. try invest in a new case/fans.
[10:45] <hn8456> hello
[10:45] <llutz> madjoe: the --one-file-system" prevents /dev, /sys /proc from being backed up, as they are on "own filesystems" (not your /)
[10:45] <abhi_nav> knoppies: yah thinking for it now
[10:45] <hn8456> how i can convert a ape file to mp3 with same audio quality ?
[10:45] <hn8456> i use ffmpeg
[10:45] <abhi_nav> !overheating
[10:46] <abhi_nav> mmm
[10:46] <madjoe> llutz: wow, that is a valuable info.. thanks again!
[10:46] <llutz> madjoe: if you have separate /home, you have to back it up too
[10:46] <knoppies> abhi_nav, my machine restarts on overheating, rather than shutting down. Same would apply for an underpowered PSU.
[10:46] <madjoe> llutz: I think I'm ready to go with this approach
[10:46] <llutz> madjoe: try it and check for success before deleting your wubi-inst
[10:47] <knoppies> abhi_nav, Im logging off. Hope you find what you looking for.
[10:47] <mino> hi
[10:47] <llutz> madjoe: and make sure to have a live-cd ready
[10:47] <abhi_nav> knoppies: how to make sure my PSU is not underpowerd? and before that what is PSU? What should ideal temp of my laptop be? its +0.0c now what +0.0 means?
[10:47] <abhi_nav> knoppies: ok
[10:47] <abhi_nav> Dr_Willis: ok
[10:48] <abhi_nav> Dr_Willis: llutz: how to make sure my PSU is not underpowerd? and before that what is PSU? What should ideal temp of my laptop be? its +0.0c now what +0.0 means?
[10:48] <mino> http://www.pastie.org/846596 - Problem with my soundcard since today. Yesterday everything worked fine. But now the kernel doesnt load my soundcard anymore
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> if the laptop is reporting 0C - then im guessing it has some issues where it dosent know what its temp is.. Or else you got it in the freezer
[10:48] <apparle> when is the next alpha releasing ?
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> !release
[10:49] <abhi_nav> Dr_Willis: No :) its not in the freezer. How to correct this temp prob?
[10:49] <Dr_Willis> apparle:  alp3 was like yesterday.. so next is Beta i think
[10:49] <apparle> Dr_Willis: link me to alpha3
[10:49] <Dr_Willis> abhi_nav:  no idea. check the forums for your exact make laptop
[10:49] <Dr_Willis> apparle:  #ubuntu+1
[10:49] <abhi_nav> Dr_Willis: is it that my temp sensors are not woking?
[10:50] <crimzor__> i get I get a sigsegv in XF86DRIQueryExtension () from /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 when running fglrxinfo, glxgears etc. :(
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> abhi_nav:  if its reading 0C - then I would think - its NOT working
[10:50] <abhi_nav> Dr_Willis: so where should I start with temp troubleshooting now? any link? any doc,manual etc?
[10:51] <sulo> Hallo, i have a question and i hope anyone can help me

[10:52] <faileas> a little OT, but i'm setting up a dualstack server ipv6 server on a system i'm using. if i can connect to 127.0.0.1 locally, it should mean that its listening on ipv4 right?

[10:56] <abhi_nav> llutz: hmm
[10:57] <Dr_Willis> jbu:  doing such a 'swap' is not trivial.
[10:57] <madjoe> Anybody knows a good alternative for an image viewer that is capable to show animated gifs?
[10:57] <madjoe> Or is there a working patch for the default viewer?
[10:59] <Slart> madjoe: I suppose firefox is too clumsy? at least it works.. I think
[11:00] <madjoe> Slart: lol... it is... very clumsy
[11:00] <madjoe> Slart: it's like cutting a slice of bread with a chainsaw :)
[11:01] <Slart> madjoe: or.. in this case.. cutting a several years old, moldy, smelly bread with a chainsaw =)
[11:02] <madjoe> Slart: errr... cutting a slice of a bread was my metaphor for viewing animated gifs :)
[11:03] <jakiw_> exit
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> gimp can view animat gifs :)
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> wine irfanview.exe
[11:06] <Slart> madjoe: and I think of animated gifs as something from the dusty graveyard of the web.. something best left alone.. undisturbed =)
[11:06] <plustax_> I am running9.10 and I have no sound. It just crackles. Someone help!!
[11:06] <abhi_nav> I dont understand how to understand the time for ubuntu-classroom. UTC to local time conversion. How to do that. date -u says its 11.00 now. And in ubuntu-classroom schedule there is one lecture for 11.00. But now there seemns to be no lecture. How to solve this time issue?
[11:06] <madjoe> Slart: then we have a match in understanding tho... lol :D
[11:06] <llutz> madjoe: gwenview shows animated-gifs
[11:06] <Slart> madjoe: it seems gthumb can at least show animated gifs.. it seems the timing might be off though
[11:07] <llutz> madjoe: but it's kde/qt
[11:07] <madjoe> Slart: yes it does... but I didn't try it.. is gthumb descent comparing with the default image viewer?
[11:08] <Slart> madjoe: I have no idea.. never tried it myself

[11:13] <micheleainardi> BUONGIORNO  a tutti
[11:13] <micheleainardi> che software si pu├▓ utilizzare per fare montaggi video?
[11:14] <linuxpjc780> I have a question - is it hard to do a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10?  I have my computer dual-booted with Linux and Windows (i.e. drive is partitioned)?  Can I simply re-install Ubuntu 9.10 fresh on the current partition it sits on?
[11:14] <linuxpjc780> I think I might have gotten a virus or two.
[11:15] <exploit100> sure "linuxpjc780"
[11:15] <hystreni> Hello, i have made a hidden file and i cant find it... how do i open it?
[11:15] <Slart> hystreni: ctrl+h in nautilus to make it show hidden files
[11:15] <linuxpjc780> exploit100 - OK, so how do I do this?
[11:15] <apparle> linuxpjc780: virus on ubuntu?
[11:16] <hystreni> Slart, thansk ^
[11:16] <Slart> hystreni: but hidden files act just as normal files.. it's just a dot in the filename
[11:16] <exploit100> install?
[11:17] <linuxpjc780> apparle - I don't know.  I'm running "Virus Scanner" (the ClamTk app) on the IBM_Preload.  It's only 10 percent done - and it's already telling me it's found 8 viruses.  Is this BS?
[11:17] <Dr_Willis_> linuxpjc780:  depends on what its found
[11:17] <exploit100> not connecting yet "frankS2"
[11:18] <apparle> Dr_Willis_: +1
[11:18] <Dr_Willis_> If its found stuff in your WarezTorrents directory... well..... :)
[11:18] <exploit100> after add the Userid is it automically connect?
[11:18] <Slart> linuxpjc780: I don't think there are any viruses for linux going around.. clam is more oriented towards finding windows viruses.. which doesn't affect your linux machine
[11:19] <micheleainardi> which software for manipulate video ?
[11:19] <Dr_Willis_> wine windowsvirusinstaler.exe   :)
[11:19] <linuxpjc780> Slart - so then why is it saying it has found viruses?
[11:19] <Dr_Willis_> linuxpjc780:  pastebin the output of what its found...
[11:19] <madjoe> llutz: it seems like gthumb is more advanced than Eye of Gnome http://packages.debian.org/hu/sid/debug/gthumb-dbg
[11:19] <Dr_Willis_> Its not scanning your windows files is it? :)
[11:20] <Slart> linuxpjc780: because it has? read what I wrote again..
[11:21] <linuxpjc780> Dr_Willis - I don't know.  Does "Virus Scanner" scan the Windows files too?  Slart - yes, Virus Scanner says it has found viruses.
[11:21] <TheStreetRacer> ubuntu-it-chat
[11:22] <exploit100> in your windows ?
[11:23] <Dr_Willis_> linuxpjc780:  if you told it a path where it can find windows files.. yes it does
[11:23] <Slart> linuxpjc780: clam is mostly for searching for windows viruses.. there are very few, if any, linux viruses going around... so.. if you run clam on your linux machine and scans, for example, an external drive that is infected with a windows virus (from dualbooting or something like that) it will tell you that is has found a virus.. does this mean your linux machine is infected? no
[11:23] <miyabi> haloooo....i'm newby.
[11:24] <exploit100> kmon achen miyabi?
[11:24] <miyabi> yes..
[11:24] <nimrod10> micheleainardi, try kdenlive or openshot
[11:25] <exploit100> where are from?
[11:25] <miyabi> jawa
[11:25] <linuxpjc780> I think I should just do a fresh install of Ubuntu.  How do I do this.  My drive is partioned.  With Ubuntu on one, and Windows XP on the other.
[11:25] <linuxpjc780> ???
[11:25] <Dr_Willis_> linuxpjc780:  tell the installer to put / where your / is at.
[11:26] <Dr_Willis_> linuxpjc780:  but whats this going to acomplish?
[11:26] <exploit100> same thing "linuxpjc780"
[11:26] <sidh> Greetings Gentlemen
[11:27] <sidh> because of a known bug for VirtualBox and karmic amd64, i have to recompile a kernel
[11:27] <sidh> so i followed that how to http://blog.avirtualhome.com/2009/11/03/how-to-compile-a-kernel-for-ubuntu-karmic/
[11:27] <linuxpjc780> Dr_Willis - I don't understand your first statement.  What do you mean by "/ ".  If I do a fresh install, won't it wipe out any infection that could be there?
[11:28] <lorenzo_> #ubuntu-it
[11:28] <lorenzo_> #ubuntu-it-chat
[11:28] <Dr_Willis_> linuxpjc780: '  / '   is the root of the filesystem. You have one partion mounted to /    you also have one set as home
[11:28] <Dr_Willis_> linuxpjc780:  you could have other partitons  mounted as /home or /var/ or other /XXXXX locations but / is the 'root' of the filesystem
[11:29] <Dr_Willis_> You may want to read up on linux filesystems a bit.
[11:29] <exploit100> right
[11:29] <sidh> but while running (as mentionned ) the ./debian/scripts/misc/kernelconfig oldconfig, i get this error : ./debian/scripts/misc/kernelconfig: line 142: /home/sidh/devpt/kernel/lucid/source//scripts/misc/../config-check: No such file or directory
[11:29] <Dr_Willis_> !lfs
[11:29] <Dr_Willis_> Hmm  perhaps its !LSB
[11:29] <Dr_Willis_> !lsb
[11:29] <Slart> !fsh
[11:29] <Dr_Willis_> Heh -no url to the default layout :)
[11:29] <madjoe> Slart: gThumb is a very good replacement for Eye of Gnome.. I just tried it
[11:29] <sidh> of course config-check is in ./debian/scripts/config-check (find command tells me that)
[11:30] <Slart> madjoe: ah.. great
[11:30] <sidh> do you know how to correct this
[11:30] <sidh> ?
[11:31] <madjoe> Slart: I'm in my Nautilus now.. where do I set it as a default image viewer?
[11:31] <PingFloyd> !fs
[11:31] <linuxpjc780> Dr_Willis - Yes, pardon me.  I'm new to Ubuntu :)  So would a re-installation of Ubuntu be: #1) a complicated process? #2) Successfully clean out any infections?
[11:32] <Slart> madjoe: I'm not sure if there is one setting where you can change the app for all images.. you can right click on a file and select properties, open with and set the default app for that file type.. but I think you'll have to do that for each file type
[11:32] <exploit100> first time you installed your self ? linuxpjc
[11:33] <linuxpjc780> exploit100 - no, I had someone walk me through it on here ...
[11:33] <exploit100> oh i see
[11:34] <exploit100> you mean to say you can not install UbUNTU?
[11:35] <Dr_Willis_> linuxpjc780:  #1 - im not ure you ARE infected at all. and reinstalling   dosent take me very long.   tell it to use /  on your old install.. let it reformat.. go get a soda..
[11:37] <Dam0> hey
[11:38] <linuxpjc780> exploit - I haven't done it before on my own.  I think "Virus Scanner" is scanning Windows directories, as I watching the path names it is searching ...  So how do I do this?  I have an IBM Thinkpad.  I would reinsert the install discs while still in Ubuntu.  And where do you tell it to use the root on my old install?  I'm sorry - but I'm still pretty new to all this ...
[11:39] <madjoe> Slart: haha... I don't believe there's an easier option on setting the default application in Nautilus... :D
[11:41] <Dr_Willis_> linuxpjc780:  if its showing you got Windows viruses on your windows install. then  its nothing todo with Linux at all.
[11:41] <Dr_Willis_> linuxpjc780:  sounds like you may be wanting to reinstall windows.. not linux
[11:42] <madjoe> lol
[11:44] <linuxpjc780> Dr_Willis_- That's odd.  I could I get a Windows virus while in Ubuntu?
[11:45] <Dr_Willis_> linuxpjc780:  we never said that.. Its more likely you got windows viruses while on windows....
[11:46] <micheleainardi> anyone known a way for to input a video from S_Video?
[11:47] <micheleainardi> can I open video playing into a videocamera from S-Video?
[11:47] <gustin> micheleainardi: yes
[11:47] <micheleainardi> gustin: which software?
[11:47] <gustin> you need a video card with S-video out, and it needs to be supported by Linux
[11:48] <balsat> use tvtime
[11:48] <spychalski> argh, i can't get flash to work as it should (cant click on the videos and stufff
[11:48] <gustin> you are sending from your computer to an S-Video device, right?
[11:48] <balsat> or xawtv
[11:48] <madjoe> Hey, guys! Do you know this girl? Is she here btw? LOL Well, if she uses Ubuntu, I'd like to be her slave! LMAO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl-tmGfQrzs
[11:48] <micheleainardi> gustin: no.. I have video into videocamera. It has S-video out . so I can input from my pc S-Video?
[11:49] <linuxpjc780> Dr_Willis_- I would probably be fine with just reformating so that I would only be running Ubuntu.  I don't trust Windows anyway - when it's slower and less secure.  So what is the point of having it dual-booted?
[11:49] <gustin> micheleainardi: then you need a specific video card for this, I have used hauppage PCI cards in the past for this
[11:49] <Dr_Willis_>  micheleainardi  svideo on a Video card is video OUT.  You need somthign with an Svideo IN.
[11:49] <V4mpire> anyone know of a way to check system hardward within linux to try find out why it keeps switching off at times ?
[11:49] <Dr_Willis_> micheleainardi:  Like a TV tuner card.
[11:50] <micheleainardi> I need to by wirefire (or firewire) cable
[11:50] <micheleainardi> :(
[11:50] <gustin> linuxpjc780: dual booting will cause more grief than it is worth unless you know what you are doing.  Pick one OS and stick with it (or get two computers)
[11:50] <Dr_Willis_> Firewire transfers from a camcorder will be a LOT faster
[11:50] <abhi_nav> hi
[11:51] <Dr_Willis_> and look better
[11:51] <gustin> micheleainardi: I have never done this with firewire, sorry
[11:51] <micheleainardi> ok.. tahnk's
[11:51] <Dr_Willis_> I got a camcorder that actrually shows up as a USB hd.
[11:51] <gustin> mine does as well, I have a cheap chinese one that uses SD cards
[11:51] <linuxpjc780> gustin - what kind of grief will it cause in the long run?  The only reason I did this originally - was that in case one OS or partition failed, I would have backup.
[11:52] <abhi_nav> which is the best instant messanging client? which you use?
[11:52] <abhi_nav> other than pidgin
[11:52] <gustin> linuxpjc780: it is very easy to trash the boot loader.  One only needs to be moderately profficient to keep dual booting working
[11:52] <gustin> linuxpjc780: but IMO it is not worth the time
[11:53] <linuxpjc780> gustin - what is IMO?  And when you say "trash the boot loader" - do you mean "mess it up"?
[11:54] <erUSUL> in my opinion
[11:54] <gustin> linuxpjc780: IMO = In My Opinion, as in I do not wish to indicate that this is some sort of accepted truth
[11:55] <gnomemercy> I prefer having a dual boot,I use linux about 95% of the time, but every now and then I like to load something with wine (games mostly) like WoW is one of them.
[11:55] <exploit100> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing      = linuxpjc780
[11:56] <gustin> linuxpjc780: and yes, trash the boot loader means to mess it up.  For example, re-installing windows will overwrite the boot loader, and Linux will not be selectable at boot.  It will appear to have vanished.  THis is easy to fix but it will take time, particularly if this is all new to you
[11:57] <gustin> gnomemercy: that is why I stated that it is my opinion.  It is cheaper for me to have a seperate computer instead of wasting time fixing the odd dual boot issue.
[11:57] <gustin> gnomemercy: besides I use either vmware or virtual box for most of my Windows "needs".  Other than for gaming this works well.

[12:00] <safe> How do I enable guest account? I thought I did it via Users and groups, but none exists in GDM.
[12:01] <stdisease> safe, is it possible to enable through gdm configuration? Or look at /etc/passwd and change the login shell from something like /bin/false or /usr/sbin/nologin to /bin/sh

[12:02] <Industrial> I just installed ubuntu and then UNetbootin which edited the grub2 configuration to add an item. The grub2 bootloader is not showing me any grub menu and this is irritting me because now I can not select the Unetbootin option.
[12:02] <Industrial> I have tried looking in the /etc/grub.d/ config files and regenerating the grub config but I cannot seem to get it to wait 10secs
[12:03] <stdisease> Industrial, edit /etc/default/grub for the timeout
[12:03] <stdisease> Industrial, there's a variable GRUB_TIME="<secs>" you set then when dun run update-grub2
[12:05] <Dr_Willis_>  Unetbootin edited your grub's menu? Never seen it do that befor.
[12:05] <stdisease> Dr_Willis, yea strange isn't it, I thought unetbootin was syslinux-based
[12:06] <Industrial> stdisease: it had a HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true <-- EVIL.
[12:06] <frankS2> Hi, I installed ubuntu server, and I have now attached 2 harddrives for raid0 on the motherboard as software, how can i make ubuntu see tese ones?
[12:06] <Dr_Willis_> stdisease:  ive neer seen it alter anything OTHER then the usb drive you point it to.  Im not sure what you were doing withit.
[12:08] <stdisease> Dr_Willis, it's Industrial's question, just for the record
[12:09] <sidh> excuse me but i'm not used with ubuntu irc chans, so is there some specific dev chans dedicated to ubuntu ?
[12:09] <safe> stdisease: I can't choose "Dont ask for password on login" for the guest account.
[12:09] <stdisease> sidh, there's #ubuntu+1 for pre-release/development
[12:10] <erUSUL> frankS2: you are using motherboard bios raid (aka fakeraid) ?
[12:10] <sidh> ah ok thanks you for the info
[12:10] <bassliner> anyone experiencing umlaut-problems after an update on an ubuntu server box as well?
[12:10] <frankS2> erUSUL: yes
[12:11] <erUSUL> frankS2: if you are going to use that only in linux is better not to. Use linux software raid stack
[12:11] <frankS2> erUSUL: i am only going to use it in linux yes
[12:12] <erUSUL> frankS2: then cnfigure the sata controller as ahci or normal sata (not raid) and assemble a raid array for linux to use using mdadm
[12:12] <erUSUL> !raid | frankS2
[12:14] <stdisease> huh flimsy grammar on the 1st article
[12:14] <richzilla> hi all
[12:15] <richzilla> anyone know why terminal doesnt seem to recognise the cd.. command?
[12:15] <LjL> richbecause there is no such command. you can, however, "cd .."
[12:15] <LjL> richzilla^
[12:15] <Dr_Willis_> richzilla:  you are thinking DOS
[12:15] <stdisease> (as appreciated as the user contribution is)
[12:15] <Dr_Willis_> dos - where you can be sloppy with spaces...
[12:15] <erUSUL> frankS2: http://bfish.xaedalus.net/2006/11/software-raid-5-in-ubuntu-with-mdadm/ <<<< in this blog he uses 3 devices to create a raid 5 just make the changes to make a raid 1 or 0
[12:15] <stdisease> Richie, in other distros (Mandriva for 1) it's an alias for "cd .."
[12:16] <richzilla> ahhh
[12:16] <Dr_Willis_> how about '..' for an alias? :)  or can that work?
[12:16] <stdisease> richzilla, you can either get used to the more correct form, or define an alias in your .bashrc
[12:16] <richzilla> ahhh thanks for the help
[12:16] <richzilla> dont knwo how ive never spotted the apce before
[12:16] <richzilla> space
[12:18] <frankS2> http://pastie.org/846638
[12:18] <frankS2> could some disk experts take a look at this?
[12:18] <frankS2> new problem... cant create/remove partitions
[12:18] <nagchampa> why is the ubuntu installer only seeing one hdd while gparted can see both fine?
[12:19] <stdisease> huh 1TB does NetBSD even need that much space!..
[12:19] <frankS2> stdisease: no heh
[12:19] <BulleTh0> lol @ stdisease
[12:19] <faileas> o0, what needs 1tb to install?
[12:20] <erUSUL> frankS2: seems to complain that the paritions/disk are in use (mounted)
[12:20] <frankS2> erUSUL: but they are not
[12:20] <linduxed> i'm trying to install a 3G modem with the help of the usb_modeswitch utility. the problem is however that when it comes to the point where it says "Looking for active driver" it should find the usb-storage driver, but doesn't. instead i get "No driver found. Either detached befor or never attached"
[12:20] <Dr_Willis_> see what the mount command says?
[12:20] <linduxed> is there a way to make it find the usb-storage driver?
[12:20] <frankS2> Dr_Willis_: checked, its not
[12:20] <erUSUL> frankS2: not much experience with bsd paritions ...
[12:21] <Dr_Willis_> actually if they are ntfs - the gvfs may have them mounted/inuse.
[12:21] <Dr_Willis_> You could use gparted to delete the ones you want to use. and lket the installer remake partions in the unallocated space
[12:21] <frankS2> erUSUL: i want to rm all of them and use them in linux
[12:21] <frankS2> erUSUL: just need to fix the hd, cuz i cant use them now heh
[12:21] <erUSUL> frankS2: sdb and sdc ?
[12:21] <Dr_Willis_> frankS2:  delete them in gparted then. reboot.. let installer do its thang
[12:21] <abhi_nav> Which software is used to password protect a particular folder?
[12:21] <frankS2> erUSUL: yes
[12:22] <stdisease> linduxed, 'modprobe usb-stroage' ?
[12:22] <erUSUL> abhi_nav: for home folder encription ecryptfs is used
[12:22] <leon702> HOLA ALGUIEN SABE ESPA├æOL
[12:22] <LjL> !es | leon702
[12:22] <stdisease> !es | leon702 : aqui hablan espanol
[12:22] <erUSUL> frankS2: create new parition tables in both devices. with gparted
[12:22] <abhi_nav> erUSUL not for home folder. its just one of the folder e.g. /home/abc/desktop/test
[12:23] <linduxed> stdisease: didn't help
[12:23] <frankS2> erUSUL: i can do that with sdb , but i cant format it, in sdc i get the error: FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 3: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder
[12:23] <linduxed> stdisease: unless i should reboot the comp too
[12:23] <erUSUL> abhi_nav: it can be any folder. i'm saying what ubuntu uses for the home encription i case you want to use the same
[12:23] <stdisease> linduxed, well the usb-storage kernel module is probably loaded now, if that does nothing it's probably another driver that should be loaded
[12:23] <erUSUL> frankS2: that's why i ask you to make new parition tables (not new paritions)
[12:23] <erUSUL> frankS2: that's why i ask you to make new parition tables (not new partitions)
[12:24] <frankS2> erUSUL: oh how?
[12:24] <abhi_nav> erUSUL i want to share my home folder with frends. but want to lock that only one folder. all other folder wll be accesd.
[12:24] <erUSUL> abhi_nav: it is better to create a third folder to share things and leave your home folder to you
[12:25] <erUSUL> frankS2: gparted (gui) or parted (cli)
[12:25] <abhi_nav> erUSUL i dont mean network sharing. just want to lock a specific folder with password
[12:25] <mylisto2> hey everyone...
[12:25] <stdisease> abhi_nav, you will want to edit your smb.conf file and customize your shares
[12:25] <abhi_nav> I dont mean network sharing
[12:25] <isxios> .com
[12:25] <danyR> hi there. i installed an update today and now i can't acess https sites!
[12:25] <stdisease> Hello mylisto2
[12:25] <mylisto2> some weird issues just started on my laptop (running 8.04)
[12:26] <mylisto2> Just got back from work, went to jump on skype and yahoo (pidgin)...
[12:26] <erUSUL> abhi_nav: i undesrtand. but your home folder has your configuration files etc... trust me it is easier and safer to just create a /home/shared folder to share the things you want to share with other users
[12:26] <mylisto2> yahoo won't stay open..it opens then closes automatically..
[12:26] <mylisto2> and skype is doing the same thign basically
[12:26] <stdisease> mylisto2, can you launch them from a terminal and see what output it gives when those applications close?
[12:27] <mylisto2> ah never thought baout that
[12:27] <mylisto2> about that
[12:27] <mylisto2> brb
[12:27] <abhi_nav> erUSUL ok tell me can i have a script or something like that which wll delete my specific unpreviledge account if i dont open that unpreviledged account for 'n' number of days? can i write such scritp by my own? is it availabve already?
[12:28] <erUSUL> abhi_nav: really dunno from the top of my head. you would have to do some research
[12:28] <abhi_nav> erUSUL hmm ok
[12:28] <mylisto2> stdisease: it just says aborted in terminal
[12:29] <gioul> !list
[12:30] <stdisease> mylisto2, same for the 2nd app?
[12:30] <mylisto2> stdisease: here is a pastebin of what I get in terminal when pidgin crashes
[12:30] <mylisto2> http://pastebin.com/2tNyPYMq
[12:30] <linduxed> stdisease: well ill try forcing the module in some way
[12:31] <stdisease> mylisto2, hmm, I've seen those errors usually when you update libc6. Can you see if there are any updates to glib and libpurple and install them?
[12:32] <stdisease> mylisto2, use aptitude or whatever software you usually use to install things
[12:33] <mylisto2> stdisease: what do you mean?
[12:33] <stdisease> mylisto2, from terminal, 'sudo aptitude'
[12:33] <stdisease> mylisto2, then look at the list of packages available for update, updated them all if possible  then see if crash still happens
[12:33] <Guest18170> kaixo
[12:33] <nexsja> 'ello, i've had some trouble with wifi, so i decided to reboot, after rebooting the system wanted to do a disk check, so i let it
[12:33] <nexsja> after the system booted up all my nvidia drivers were lost
[12:33] <phpmonk> mylisto2, stdisease : is it not a font problem ?
[12:34] <viliny> http://packages.ubuntu.com/sl/dapper/libc6-udeb
[12:34] <stdisease> nexsja, booted into another kernel version? you'll have to reinstall the nvidia driver
[12:34] <nexsja> i've downloaded 190 drivers from nvidia website, though i can't install them, says something about my gcc-4.4 version and that i don't have my kernel sources
[12:34] <nexsja> stdisease, yes, i've recently updated the kernel version
[12:35] <nexsja> thought that would be a good idea :/
[12:35] <pw-toxic_> hi.. my computer is in suspend mode, and i cant leave the suspend mode anymore. Pressing the power button doesnt do anything. Any ideas?
[12:35] <stdisease> nexsja, install kernel sources or headers and use 'CC=gcc-4.3 sh NVIDIA-installer-xxx.sh'
[12:35] <mylisto2> phpmonk: how would I know if its a font problem?
[12:35] <viliny> your compiler is 4.4 while it wants 4.2, you can just bypass that
[12:35] <Gyjf> hey i have some problem with compiz, i use the wall and after update i cant drag windows between desktops
[12:35] <pw-toxic_> without suspend mode, my notebook is senseless
[12:35] <vianocturna85> wonder if anyone can make sense of this: im running karmic and keep getting 'partial update' option, when clicking on it it wants to upgrade my distro?
[12:36] <soreau> nexsja: When you use a different method other than the ubuntu provided method (sys>admin>hardware drivers) you will have to reinstall the nvidia driver after each kernel update
[12:36] <nexsja> soreau, thank you, got that :) now, all i need to do is download the new kernel sources?
[12:36] <stdisease> nexsja, CC=gcc-4.3 assuming the kernel was compiled with gcc 4.3.x , if the kernel was compiled with another version of course you'll have to pass what's appropriate like viliny said
[12:36] <yon> hello i require some help with Samba...  i have a folder that i want to share to everyone on the netowrk but only i can edit
[12:37] <soreau> Gyjf: Is ccsm>Wall>Edge Flipping>Edge Flip Move enabled?
[12:37] <yon> If i use Write List = yon and read only = yes i can access it but cannot create files
[12:37] <nexsja> does uname -a show my kernel version?
[12:37] <viliny> uname -r
[12:38] <soreau> nexsja: uname -r and you probably just need to install the kernel headers
[12:38] <nexsja> Package kernel-headers is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
[12:39] <viliny> nexsja, each and every kernel version has it's own header
[12:39] <Gyjf> Thankyou soreau, it worked!
[12:39] <soreau> Gyjf: Great :)
[12:39] <Gyjf> looked for 30 min and couldnt find the option
[12:39] <nexsja> viliny, so i've downloaded 2.6.32 kernel sources
[12:39] <lantizia> Since Ubuntu 9.10 has the later version of APT (with support for i386 packages on amd64)... how can I add a i386 repository and install from it in AMD64 land?
[12:39] <soreau> nexsja: Yes, you need to install the kernel header version for your kernel as reported by uname -r
[12:39] <viliny> nexsja, what exactly does your uname -r return?
[12:40] <nexsja> 2.6.32-020632-generic
[12:40] <damnn> Hi I formatted a partition under win7 and I can't read it with ubuntu. Gparted says it's sda7 but if I mount -t ntfs it does not show properly. Any idea?
[12:40] <stdisease> lantizia, which i386 packages do you need installed? The 32-bit compatibility stuff? you don't need i386 repo for that fyi
[12:40] <lantizia> damnn, did you format it fatx?
[12:41] <damnn> lantizia, no it's ntfs
[12:41] <stdisease> damnn, try -t ntfs-3g
[12:41] <lantizia> stdisease, no it's not that - it's a game that has a 32bit only APT repo
[12:41] <V4mpire> why is 9.10 labelled as #56-Ubuntu ?
[12:41] <yon> can anyone help me with my samba comfiguration (http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/kkHQ11yK) i want to make a directory accessable to everyone but only i can add and remove stuff
[12:41] <yon> PLz help :)
[12:42] <nexsja> viliny, i've downloaded 2.6.32 kernel sources and extracting them now, then, when i'm installing new drivers i need to do --kernel-source-path <path_to_source>, right?
[12:42] <viliny> nexsja, you can download deb packages too
[12:42] <viliny> such a timesaver
[12:42] <damnn> stdisease, it does not work either
[12:42] <stdisease> viliny,  I think the source/header debs are borken for nexsja
[12:42] <soreau> nexsja: It should be able to figure out here the headers are on its own I would think
[12:42] <viliny> nexsja, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[12:43] <ManiDhillon> damn use #sudo fdisk -l to check the table first
[12:44] <nexsja> stdisease, so... i need to install something, or just downloading the kernel sources and directing nvidia installer to them will be enough?
[12:44] <DelphiWorld> hi all
[12:44] <stdisease> nexsja, you will need to copy the config file from under /boot to the extracted directory src-linux/.config and then 'make prepare' before you'll be able to use it
[12:44] <DelphiWorld> please how do i chmod a directory with all files/sub directorys?
[12:45] <erUSUL> DelphiWorld: which directory ?
[12:45] <yon> chmod *user* -R *directory*
[12:45] <DelphiWorld> erUSUL: /usr/local/freeswitch
[12:45] <erUSUL> yon: chmod does not accpt user as parameter
[12:45] <stdisease> nexsja, it's best if you figure out a way to install kernel headers/sources from the apt system, though
[12:45] <DelphiWorld> erUSUL: i want to chmod it to 777
[12:46] <yon> my bad chown i was thingking of
[12:46] <yon> :P
[12:46] <pw-toxic_> how can i reaload the fstab ?
[12:46] <erUSUL> DelphiWorld: why you need to do that? it soes not look a safe thing to do. what s the problem exactly ?
[12:46] <yon> chmod 0777 -R ?directory
[12:46] <damnn> Hi I formatted a partition under win7 and I can't read it with ubuntu. Gparted says it's sda7 but if I mount -t ntfs it does not show properly. Any idea?
[12:46] <bcj> Has anyone had experience with a failing hard drive causing shred to fall over and backtrace?
[12:46] <erUSUL> pw-toxic_: sudo mount -o remount -a
[12:46] <viliny> nexsja, easiest would be to use http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ to download a new kernel and the appropriate headers and update-grub to make your grub include the new installed kernel when you boot next time and then go ahead and install the nvidia drivers and just answer no when it complains about gcc compiler version and you're set :)
[12:47] <DelphiWorld> erUSUL, using winSCP... to edit some files, but i need to sudo and i can't sudo from winSCP
[12:47] <ManiDhillon> damn first check the partition table with #sudo fdisk -l
[12:47] <yon> can anyone help me with a problem with samba and the read only command
[12:47] <DelphiWorld> erUSUL: sory my dear there is a lot of trafic here, can we chat privatly? i am blind and i can't see your messages;)
[12:47] <nexsja> viliny, okay, so i need to download headers, image and source, right?
[12:47] <erUSUL> DelphiWorld: use putty to connect via ssh and get a cli
[12:48] <katie11> [::AmSg::] I am now [AFK: asleep ]
[12:48] <erUSUL> DelphiWorld: ok
[12:48] <damnn> DelphiWorld, k it says ID: 7 System: HPFS/NTFS
[12:48] <mylisto2> stdisease: what do want me to do?
[12:48] <mylisto2> sudo aptitude and then what?
[12:48] <DelphiWorld> erUSUL: i can use putty, lol but editores problem like nano, vi, vim and ... accessibility problems
[12:48] <ManiDhillon> damn okay wait
[12:48] <stdisease> mylisto2, then update any packages that need updating
[12:48] <erUSUL> DelphiWorld: well the command is. chmod -R 777 /usr/local/freeswitch
[12:48] <erUSUL> DelphiWorld: still think is not a good idea
[12:49] <damnn> DelphiWorld, I also have the win 7 root which is NTFS  - but I can see that. In fstab is not mentioned but I can see the "OS" disk on the desktop automatically mounted
[12:49] <ManiDhillon> damn Isn't it showing in Nautilas File Manager's side pane?
[12:50] <damnn> ManiDhillon, no
[12:50] <nexsja> viliny, after i've downloaded headers, source and image (dpkg) i need to run them all and then run 'update-grub', did i get it right? :)
[12:50] <mylisto2> frick...
[12:50] <viliny> nexsja, yes pretty much :)
[12:50] <mylisto2> I just upgraded firefox and I lost all of my damn bookmarks :(
[12:50] <ManiDhillon> damn what's the partition number? sda?
[12:51] <damnn> sda7
[12:51] <nexsja> viliny, does it matter in what order i install those packages? :)
[12:51] <mylisto2> stdisease: to update do I just press u?
[12:51] <ManiDhillon> try this #sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt
[12:51] <Praliny> hi
[12:51] <ManiDhillon> damn try this #sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt
[12:52] <stdisease> mylisto2, go to each available updates and press '+' , after  you've done selecting press 'g' twice and wait for it to download and install then preferably restart the desktop or the whole system and see if crash is still there
[12:52] <damnn> ManiDhillon, nothin happens
[12:52] <ManiDhillon> Check in the mnt direcotry. IS there anything.
[12:52] <mylisto2> stdisease: how do I go to each available update?
[12:53] <ManiDhillon> damn Check in the mnt direcotry. IS there anything.
[12:53] <damnn> ManiDhillon, no
[12:53] <ManiDhillon> Hmmm, Is their a previous entry for this drive in fstab?
[12:54] <ManiDhillon> damn Hmmm, Is their a previous entry for this drive in fstab?
[12:54] <lantizia> i386 on amd64  --  there was a THING THING!!! come on people you know what I mean surely!... some extra work was done on dpkg/apt to make it possible - anyone got a clue what I mean?
[12:54] <AceOfSpades> does anyone know how to setup a torrent program to use only a vpn connection?
[12:54] <damnn> ManiDhillon, yeah I setted it now. But when I booted there was nothing
[12:55] <stdisease> mylisto2, there should be a list titled 'Upgradable Packages', open it with the Enter key. if there isn't then your system is up to date.
[12:55] <erUSUL> lantizia: debian and derivatives do not support mixed arch afaik
[12:55] <AceOfSpades> Or is there a way to have my laptop connect only through a vpn?
[12:55] <ManiDhillon> damn that's quite a problem. Mostly when you have a partition, Ubuntu automatically detects it.
[12:55] <stdisease> mylisto2, if you usually install updates another way do that instead, whatever is more comfortable to you.
[12:55] <mylisto2> can I do this threw synpatic package manager?
[12:56]  * sidh 's upgrading to lucid, and just hope he won't get the karmic amd64 bug with virtualbox
[12:56] <lantizia> erUSUL, _YES_ yes they do... with this new thing
[12:56] <erUSUL> lantizia: if you are that sure you do not need our help
[12:56] <lantizia> erUSUL, I just need reminding what it was called!
[12:57] <mylisto2> stdisease: something is seriously up with this machine..
[12:57] <mylisto2> when I try to open synatpic package manager I get "Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root.
[12:57] <mylisto2> Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file."
[12:57] <albacker> hello everyone, anybody has had problems with ubuntu and skype (very very very low volume) ???
[12:57] <stdisease> lantizia, well there is a --force-architecture when installing directly from .deb files via dpkg, beyond that idk
[12:57] <damnn> ManiDhillon, I know that. And that's the problem :(
[12:57] <lantizia> stdisease, no not that
[12:58] <ManiDhillon> damn try reformatting it to FAT32, may be that will solve the problem.
[12:58] <knxville> I know this not the proper place, but where do ettercap save the log files?
[12:59] <damnn> ManiDhillon, no I wanted to have files larger than 4gigs
[13:00] <ManiDhillon> damn, Hmmm then why don't you format it in EXT4 format. That will be easy.
[13:01] <matteo1990> Anyone may explain me how is possible that my HD according to fdisk has 255 heads???? XD
[13:02] <stdisease> LOL!!
[13:02] <sidh> watch out about ext4 format, the benefits is only for certain situation (very large files and so on) and the portability among other unix distros is not there
[13:02] <sidh> (no ext4 support for bsd* or (open)solaris) for example
[13:03] <lantizia> erUSUL, stdisease:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec
[13:03] <ManiDhillon> sidh Well then always there is ext3. Well and most distros support ext3 and ext4.
[13:03] <lantizia> FOUND IT! :D
[13:04] <mylisto2> stdisease: mind if pm you?
[13:04] <Guest42633> now upgrade beta test 10.4 from stable version kubuntu?
[13:04] <sidh> ManiDhillon: when i was installing ubuntu minimal cd, i wonder about ext3 or ext4, then i check the improvement for ext4, and for my laptop i 'm still with ext3
[13:04] <stdisease> mylisto2, go ahead
[13:05] <mylisto2> anyone using Firefox 3.0.18 everytime I start it up it checks for  add on updates
[13:05] <ManiDhillon> sidh, I am having Ubuntu 9.10 with EXT4 and Slackware 13 with EXT3 while it also support EXT4. And Having CentOS with EXT3 bcoz they will add support for EXT4 in only next release.
[13:06] <Guest42633> !upgrade
[13:06] <sidh> ManiDhillon: i'm not talking about ext4 support among linux distro (of course above a certain version of kernel, ext4 is supported everywhere) i'm just talking about extX support among other Unix OS
[13:06] <stdisease> mylisto2, if you launched Firefox as sudo you probably need to chown your ~/.mozilla directory to your user name
[13:06] <Guest42633> !net
[13:06] <Guest42633> !network
[13:06] <mylisto2> stdisease: I didn't
[13:06] <ManiDhillon> sidh, I agree with you. Some direct Unix variants don't support EXT system.
[13:07] <sidh> ok distupgrade finished , let's reboot and pray
[13:07] <stdisease> mylisto2, ah just a possibility
[13:07] <uBuSmallFonts> hi there...
[13:08] <sobersabre> hi. is there a way to have flash working on amd64 system inside a 64-bit browser ?
[13:09] <sobersabre> I am using chrome, and I have the packages installed:
[13:09] <erUSUL> sobersabre: yes (and have been for years) install flahsplugin-nonfree
[13:09] <uBuSmallFonts> i am using mythbuntu in a huge lcd tv...i downloaded maximumtvguide  but can't read anything since fonts are too small...used qtsettings to change font size but got no results...any d
[13:09] <uBuSmallFonts> idea?
[13:09] <AceOfSpades> anyone know how to setup a connection to only connect via vpn?
[13:09] <sobersabre> erUSUL: I have: flashplugin-installer                     10.0.42.34ubuntu0.9.10.1
[13:09] <erUSUL> sobersabre: ok; works in firefox ?
[13:10] <sobersabre> hmm... lemme check.
[13:10] <erUSUL> sobersabre: i have ubuntu 64 bits and it works for me in firefox and in chromium (daily build ppa)
[13:10] <sobersabre> I am on chromme usually.
[13:10] <ManiDhillon> sidh, well are you using any Solaris derivative?
[13:10] <sobersabre> erUSUL: I think I have the same version of chrome... moment.
[13:11] <AceOfSpades> sobersaber, have you installed ubuntu restricted extras?
[13:12] <sobersabre> ok: ff works.

[13:13] <AceOfSpades> sobersabre, have you installed ubuntu restricted extras? After I installed everything worked fine
[13:13] <sobersabre> AceOfSpades: I think I have everything, since I don't have problems with listening to mp3s, watching movies with VLC, etc.
[13:14] <erUSUL> sobersabre: as i said it works for chromium too
[13:14] <sobersabre> I have this: Google Chrome 5.0.335.0 dev
[13:15] <sobersabre> erUSUL: can you point me out to the chromium ppa you're using ?
[13:15] <erUSUL> sobersabre: moment
[13:15] <sobersabre> I will upgrade I think. Is there any difference in "about" for you ?
[13:15] <AceOfSpades> sobersabre, I was having a problem with flash, and after I installed ubuntu restricted extras everything worked fin

[13:17] <mylisto2> hey everyone
[13:17] <mylisto2> stdisease: that didn't do the trick...
[13:17] <stdisease> mylisto2, guessing it didn't work since you're back..
[13:17] <mylisto2> something is very very wrong with my system
[13:17] <mylisto2> I just opened my damn irc client, and I realized that something is wrong with it..
[13:17] <mylisto2> it used to show a ton of different networks to join (freenode, etc..etc..)...
[13:17] <mylisto2> they were all wiped out
[13:18] <stdisease> mylisto2, xchat? me too
[13:18] <mylisto2> yeah xchat
[13:18] <NetScr1be> offtopic??
[13:19] <mylisto2> I'm wondering what the hell is going on
[13:20] <mylisto2> even thunderbird seems affected
[13:20] <febin> hi chandran
[13:20] <humbolt> my automatically detected raid device always shows up as md_d0 instead of md0. is that the default now?
[13:20] <rob_p> mylisto2: Have you looked over your system logs for anything abnormal?
[13:20] <mylisto2> rob_p: not sure how to do that
[13:21] <sobersabre> erUSUL: what
[13:21] <rob_p> mylisto2: They are located in /var/log
[13:21] <mylisto2> I wouldn't even know what to look for
[13:21] <rob_p> mylisto2: Give them a gander and see if it yields any clues.
[13:21] <sobersabre> erUSUL: what's the command to fetch a key from the keyserver by it's PUB id ?
[13:21] <nagchampa> is there a reason the ubuntu installer is only showing me my first hdd?
[13:21] <mylisto2> rob_p: what one should I look at?
[13:22] <sobersabre> is there some kind of apt-key adv command ?
[13:22] <kurti_> how can I start my software raid5 array automaticaly on boot? /etd/mdadm/mdadm.conf contains 'DEVICE /dev/hd*[0-9] /dev/sd*[0-9]' and the result of mdadm --detail --scan but it doesn't work
[13:23] <mylisto2> rob_p: can I pm you?
[13:23] <rob_p> mylisto2: The system log would be a good place to start.  You may have to go through many of them to assess what (if anything) happened to cause your issues.
[13:23] <mylisto2> what ones are the system logs?
[13:23] <rob_p> mylisto2: yeah
[13:23] <SwedeMike> kurti_: you need something like this: ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=6 UUID=<uuid>
[13:24] <SwedeMike> kurti_: you don't need the device-line, you only need that basically

[13:49] <jedd> unop: sorry im just new in networking, i didnt get what you replied to me about the DNS domain thing.

[13:50] <morph> Slart, when you get to me will you highlight me so i can minimize this
[13:50] <sobersabre> proof of concept i mean.
[13:50] <Slart> morph: I understand it can be annoying when things don't work and people can't help you.. but spamming your question will only get you kicked out of here

[13:50] <morph> im asking, when you can get to helpin gme

[13:51] <morph> if you will highlight my name so i can minimize xchat
[13:51] <Achab> DNS wrote yours numbers DNS and you are on
[13:51] <Slart> morph: I can't help you with blueman.. I've never used it myself
[13:51] <morph> any idea who can
[13:51] <mefuntee> slart: it's version 1.7.0-1ubuntu2.1 as u said... do i go ahead and install d update then?
[13:51] <Slart> mefuntee: go ahead
[13:51] <x-calibur> stdisease, i have removed that line, in pastebin but it is there in the config ..., strange...
[13:52] <Slart> morph: you can try asking here again in 10 minutes or so.. or write a new post in the forums

[13:55] <Jasur> Hello Uzbekistan
[13:58] <NimbleRabit> I'm trying to use rsync to automatically download files from a remote server, but it won't seem to go above an average of 80 kb/s or so (connection capable of much more).  Is there a way to fix this, or an alternative to rsync?
[13:58] <hiexpo> morning all
[13:58] <Jasur> hey everybody
[13:58] <olskolirc> I got Paltalk on Intrepid but my buddy list is highlighted in blue
[13:58] <olskolirc> im looking for a richtext.dll to put in that folder
[13:59] <hamza> when i click on "computer", all of my system devices except for "filesystem" has disappeared.  when i click on disk utility, they show up there :S it has been a problem since whenever i plug in a usb, it does not show up on my desktop or nautilus, and i have to go through disk utility to access it.  anyone have any ideas?? :(
[13:59] <olskolirc> I have sound and video as well and the rooms load fast
[13:59] <hiexpo> NimbleRabit, i could be the server has a restriction on download speed
[14:00] <Mhason1> I have been having trouble with getting the HDTV connected to my Ubuntu Laptop to display at 1920x1024. Anyone have a good link on this type of issue? It looks like the os thinks the tv is a 26 inch monitor of some brand instead of a 42 inch hdtv
[14:00] <martita> hola a todos y todas
[14:02] <Mhason1> NimbleRabit - Can you download at higher speeds from other locations?
[14:02] <NimbleRabit> the place I'm downloading from is far away, if I use a closer server yes
[14:02] <NimbleRabit> but still if I just even use FTP I get double to tripple the rsync speeds
[14:03] <Slart> NimbleRabit: have you checked both the server and the client? they aren't maxed out when it comes to cpu, io ?
[14:04] <sobersabre> guys, is there a ppa based subversion package without the annoying Neon-TLS link ?
[14:04] <morph> anyone here know anything about ASCII armored encrypted text -- launchpad sent me an email to confirm my PPA/PGA and i cant get it decrypted
[14:04] <Slart> NimbleRabit: I don't think rsync comes with a default limit with regards to network transfer speed
[14:04] <sobersabre> I want no GnuTLS, just OpenSSL. is there a package in
[14:04] <sobersabre> PPAs ?
[14:04] <alabd> hello , would anyone guide how to work with http://nohands.sourceforge.net
[14:04] <morph> yea u gotta register with launchpad
[14:04] <morph> to identify urself
[14:04] <NimbleRabit> Slart, alright I'll see if the server is being maxed out on cpu or io
[14:04] <hiexpo> NimbleRabit, i have always found that download speeds are usually on the other end 95 percent of the time if your end is good
[14:04] <morph> and i cant decrypt this ASCII armored encrypted text
[14:05] <sobersabre> alabd: you should ask the devels of the package for help....
[14:05] <sobersabre> they should have a forum, and possibly an IRC channel.
[14:05] <alabd> sobersabre:  no how to install it
[14:05] <alabd> how to use it ?
[14:05] <sobersabre> whatever use, install, etc. - it's all in their responsibility.
[14:05] <morph> whats the terminal command to see my key
[14:06] <morph> gpg something
[14:06] <hiexpo> morph, what key?

[14:08] <Azelphur> skype abandoned linux
[14:08] <resno> Azelphur: oh, how nice
[14:08] <Azelphur> resno: yea, we are still on version 2, windows is up version 4 someplace

[14:17] <resno> Azelphur: any suggestions?
[14:18] <Azelphur> resno: not sure of any that give a free US dedicated number, you could try tpad which gives you about 80 different numbers all around the world
[14:18] <soreau> Mhason1: Which graphics card do you have?
[14:19] <Mhason1> ati x1300 mobility
[14:19] <Azelphur> resno: but tpad requires incoming callers to go through a little gateway thing (you dial your local break-in number, then dial the tpad number of the person you want to call)

[14:20] <whoop_> I got a file in /etc/cron.d/, can I just edit that with nano or whatever ? (I want to comment out a line)
[14:20] <Slart> whoop_: sudo nano /your/filename   should work
[14:20] <whoop_> or do I need to edit it with a special crontab thingy?
[14:20] <whoop_> Slart: OK, cheers for that...
[14:20] <Slart> whoop_: I think crontab -e   is the preferred way though

[14:21] <Petit_Oiseau> for you
[14:22] <Dieut> Bonjour Petit_Oiseau
[14:22] <Slart> whoop_: I'm not 100% sure about crontabs inner workings.. it might be that crontab just runs all the scripts in that folder at a specified time

[14:49] <NimbleRabit> I want to make a symbolic link of a Music directory in my home folder.  How can I get this nice default music folder icon back after I delete and remake the folder
[14:49] <|sanchez|> NimbleRabit
[14:50] <|sanchez|> ln -s <destination to link to> <name of folder>
[14:51] <|sanchez|> so for example if your home is /home/sanchez/ and your music if /path/to/music you could do "ln -s /path/to/music /home/sanchez/Music" which will create a link to your /path/to/music called "Music" inside your /home/sanchez folder
[14:51] <|sanchez|> you can right click on that /home/sanchez/Music and give it a pretty icon if you want afterwards
[14:53] <Zahoor> Hi, I want to have Ubuntu Desktop 9.10 (64-bit), how can I get that?

[14:56] <humbolt> When I have a RAID1 with 4 disks, does that mean I have 4 copies of all data or, do I have 2 copies spread over 4 drives?

[14:56] <Zahoor> i m downloading
[14:56] <super> ? list
[14:56] <|sanchez|> http://tinypic.com/r/2d960bt/6
[14:57] <|sanchez|> no problem
[14:57] <|sanchez|> humbolt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID
[14:57] <|sanchez|> RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the disks, making a form of 1:1 ratio realtime backup. The contents of each disk in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array. A RAID 1 array requires a minimum of two drives.
[14:57] <|sanchez|> humbolt you porbably want RAID5 I would imagine
[14:58] <humbolt> The contents of each disk in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array
[14:58] <mauryubuntu_> salve
[14:58] <humbolt> I actually would want raid 10
[14:58] <humbolt> but raid10 can not be reshaped in linux yet.

[14:59] <aimtrainer_> Hi! I have a strange problem copying (large) files to memory sticks. At the beginning of the file the speed is ok but it constantly drops. The next file starts fast again and gets slower during the copying process. Can anyone help me with that please? I couldn't find anything useful with google..
[14:59] <|sanchez|> humbolt depends on what manages your raid and how its configured
[14:59] <|sanchez|> aimtrainer_ how slow is slow ?
[14:59] <|sanchez|> whats rate
[15:00] <Press> Anybody here with postfix/courier experience on ubuntu?
[15:00] <allengaller> test
[15:01] <oal> What does acpi=off do?
[15:01] <aimtrainer_> |sanchez|, it starts at like 15mb/s if I use a good memstick and drops to under 1mb/s
[15:01] <walla> Hi guys, has anyone got a moment to try and fix my network card?
[15:02] <|sanchez|> aimtrainer_ not sure tbh although i can say mine usually will start out at like 30-40mb/s and if I add another xfer it will drop both xfers down low
[15:02] <|sanchez|> walla seems to be working fine since you are chatting on IRC ;)
[15:02] <|sanchez|> walla whats your problem ?
[15:02] <walla> :)
[15:02] <walla> Well, I have two of them... one for the internet, and the other one for the LAN. That's the one that isn't working
[15:03] <|sanchez|> why 1 for internet 1 for lan ?
[15:03] <|sanchez|> how is your network configured ?
[15:03] <oal> What does noapic do?
[15:03] <aimtrainer_> |sanchez|, I'm just doing one transfer at a time.. and in the beginning the progress bar goes up steadily and later it stops for a couple of seconds then goes on for a short time and stops again...
[15:03] <|sanchez|> aimtrainer_ i really dont know the answer to that one :(
[15:04] <walla> sanchez: in order to have a bridge to the lan from afar.
[15:04] <|sanchez|> oal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Programmable_Interrupt_Controller
[15:04] <danopia> walla, is your ubuntu box acting as a router?
[15:04] <|sanchez|> walla still doesnt seem like its needed that way
[15:04] <aimtrainer_> |sanchez|, thanks anyway :)
[15:04] <walla> danopia well that would be the main point
[15:04] <|sanchez|> walla then you just configure it properly so for example
[15:05] <|sanchez|> lets say eth0 is internet/WAN and eth1 is your LAN
[15:05] <|sanchez|> give eth1 an ip on the LAN and subnet and then let it use IP of your eth0 as gateway i would image
[15:05] <|sanchez|> imagine(
[15:05] <ElNombre> hey guys
[15:06] <walla> currently it's as /etc/network/interfaces has it as auto eth2, iface eth2 inet dhcp
[15:06] <walla> so how do I give it a static IP
[15:07] <ElNombre> I'm having some trouble getting an old game to work on ubuntu, it's Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, I've got it installed but I'm getting really laggy interface problems and framerate, anything you can recommend off the tops of your heads?
[15:07] <berriop> I had some problems with my microphone and skype, due to pulse audio. I followed this ubuntu guide and replaced pulseaudio for esound.

[15:12] <B3rz3rk3r> oal, sounds like your usb wasnt finished correctly then, what tool did you use to do it?
[15:12] <hiexpo> well change to cd on top most usb are reconized as cd roms
[15:13] <exs> hi

[15:15] <ElNombre> xangua: yeah, I'm using wine to run it

[15:17] <dante> i will see all thx a lot
[15:17] <unop> dante,  i use inkscape mostly - as it generates vector graphics which scale well.. but then for some parts gimp is needed.
[15:17] <albech_> oskar-, no additional passwords and no passwords were assigned to the client keys
[15:17] <hanaita> no me da la gana

[15:18] <xangua> client*
[15:18] <ElNombre> xangua: alright, I said "yeah it's a windows app, I'm running it with wine"
[15:18] <hiexpo> to make flyers https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2008-February/138482.html
[15:18] <ikonia> hiexpo: we are you posting that ?
[15:19] <xangua> ElNombre: would be more helpful to chec on wine's database or ask in it's channel
[15:19] <xangua> !appdb | ElNombre
[15:19] <hiexpo> ikonia, why am i posting that cause someone asked how to make fliers on ubuntu
[15:19] <walla_> It's still not working :(
[15:19] <ikonia> hiexpo: oh, I didn't see that
[15:19] <hiexpo> ikonia, no prob
[15:20] <Deverish> Hi, I am wondering if KDE/Kubuntu would run well with: 1GB of RAM, 1.73GHz Processor and an ATI Mobility Radeon x1400
[15:20] <ElNombre> xangua: I've already been on the AppDB but there was nothing useful there for the particular app. I'll go to the wine channel, didn't know there was one. Thanks
[15:21] <walla_> unop: I'm getting a ping error to the router (Destination Host Unreachable)
[15:21] <motaka2> can anyone help me updating php5.2 to php 5.3 ?
[15:22] <ikonia> motaka2: an update package is not yet available
[15:22] <oskar-> Deverish:  you should simply try with a live cd, if it would be well enough for you
[15:23] <ottermaton> I've recently gone to 9.10 and after putting my laptop to sleep (suspend) when I wake it up the password screen comes up and for ~10 seconds I can't type in my password. It's rather annoying. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix?
[15:23] <motaka2> ikonia: seems no
[15:23] <Deverish> oskar: Thanks, my old computer with 512MB ram and a GeForce 4 MX 440 went absolutley slow
[15:23] <sarmadi> bonjour
[15:25] <aimtrainer_> "Some users added pci=routeirq to the grub boot options and they got the USB 2.0 performance back." Do I have to write it in "/boot/grub/menu.lst"?
[15:25] <oskar-> motaka2:  there only seems to be php 5.2 in the repositories
[15:25] <motaka2> oskar-: yeah but i need 5.3
[15:26] <oskar-> motaka2:  I understand, but then you should ask the one, who provides it...
[15:26] <xxthink> help !!!!
[15:26] <ejeeter> Hello, my name is Ubuntu Linux. My license the GPL was devised by some Communist kike Jew Stallman and my name is Ubuntu because Ubuntu is dumbed down *nix and niggers have low IQs.
[15:26] <xangua> !help | xxthink
[15:26] <Slart> !ops | ejeeter
[15:26] <xxthink> I use ubuntu 9.10 to access a ntfs diskpartion where the windows xp is installed
[15:26] <motaka2> oskar-: thank as i dont have any expirience in ubuntu or linux , i dont know what to do
[15:26] <Azelphur> ejeeter: isn't your name my life is sad so I troll random IRC channels to feel good about myself?
[15:27] <Slart> dont feed it
[15:27] <xxthink> I modified somefiles, for example, a.c, in ubuntu and then I sleep my ubuntu
[15:27] <noaXess_netubu> !kernel
[15:27] <xxthink> Then I re-modified the same files in windows xp
[15:27] <xxthink> Then I wakeup my ubuntu
[15:28] <xxthink> the a.c file now can't be accessed both in ubuntu and windows xp
[15:28] <xxthink> even I use ls command in ubuntu
[15:28] <xxthink> It prompts : i/o error
[15:28] <oskar-> xxthink:  you destroyed your file system
[15:28] <xxthink> oskar-: is there some method than can save my work?
[15:29] <xxthink> what can i do?
[15:29] <giggsey_> I've got a Compaq CQ-50 with an Atheros 5001 wifi chip in it, installed madwifi and wicd, and iwlist scan says: ath0 - No scan results. Any ideas?
[15:29] <Slart> xxthink: if it was me I would do a reboot.. see if it works.. if not try to fsck the drive.. then try again
[15:29] <xxthink> I reboot many times
[15:30] <xxthink> it doesn't work
[15:30] <xxthink> these files can't accessed now
[15:30] <Slart> xxthink: this file.. is it located on the same file system as root?
[15:30] <xxthink> although I can see there names
[15:30] <DarkSpirit> I installed Ubuntu Server. I want to install the clients from the network. I've set everything up. DHCP, TFTP, PXE. However the clients try to download from the internet. How can I get them to install Ubuntu Desktop from ISO on the server?
[15:30] <xxthink> yes
[15:31] <oskar-> xxthink:  you may never mount an already opened filesystem a second time and then additionally return using it in the first system. you should try fsck or the windows thing, or "photorec" or similar software to recover the file
[15:31] <xxthink> photorec?
[15:32] <berriop>  I had some problems with my microphone and skype, due to pulse audio. I followed this ubuntu guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype and replaced pulseaudio for esound. Now everything is ok except I cant share the sound between 2 applications, eg. I cant listen music in rythmbox and use skype at the same time. Any idea how to fix it?
[15:32] <oskar-> xxthink:  yes. it may help. there is also a free tool from convar, and maybe many more
[15:32] <Slart> xxthink: with all kinds of file system/drive failure there's a risc that accessing the system might make things worse.. having said that I would boot from a live cd and fsck the file system.. or perhaps.. if the file is valuable enough try to rescue it using testdisk, photorec or something like that before running the fsck
[15:32] <xxthink> ok
[15:32] <xxthink> I will reboot now and try photorec in windows
[15:33] <Slart> xxthink: photorec is a file recovery program.. it was originally designed to rescue images.. photo recovery.. but it's usable for all kinds of files
[15:33] <kla> xxthink, isnt photorec a unix tool?
[15:33] <oskar-> ;-)
[15:33] <xxthink> ok
[15:33] <kla> xxthink, apt-cache search photorec
[15:33] <xxthink> Slart: must I boot in a live cd?
[15:33] <Walky> Hi guys - I'm having and issue with a Compaq Presario CQ61-406TU. The webcam will only turn on once per reboot. I'm running ubuntu 9.10 x86
[15:34] <Slart> xxthink: since it's your root file system we're talking about that's what I would recommend
[15:35] <RanyAlbeg> Hello , i downloaded the coreutils package in order to see the source code of 'su' command. i saw that it #include <pwd.h> which probably contains a struct that i want to see its contents. i can not find the pwd.h file in that package. can you help me find it?
[15:35] <Guest84159> žŻ┘ć┘äž¦ ┘łž│┘ć┘äž¦* ┘ģž¼ž▒ž» ž¬ž¼ž▒ž©ž®žŻ┘łž©┘ł┘åž¬┘ł
[15:36] <kla> RanyAlbeg, look under /usr/include
[15:36] <Slart> !find pwd.h
[15:37] <xxthink> Slart: My GOD, my disk is 1TB
[15:37] <xxthink> photorec will scan the whold disk?
[15:37] <Slart> xxthink: I think so, yes..
[15:37] <kla> RanyAlbeg, or use something like 'man 3 getpwent'
[15:38] <Slart> xxthink: and yes.. it will take a long time
[15:38] <alzamabar> Hi I changed the crontab file. Do I need to restart the service for the changes to be taken into consideration?
[15:38] <xxthink> my GOD!!!
[15:38] <Slart> alzamabar: if you used crontab -e   to edit it you don't have to
[15:38] <alzamabar> Slart: I used sudo vim
[15:38] <RanyAlbeg> kla: do you know why is it located in a different place. because i can also see that pwd.c is located in coreutils as same as su.c
[15:38] <oskar-> alzamabar:  in general this can depend on the used cron daemon
[15:38] <sidh> WHAAAAAOW since distupgrade from karmic amd64 to lucid amd 64, virtualbox works like a charm
[15:38] <Slart> alzamabar: then I'm not even sure if your changes will stick.. it depends on what file you edited
[15:39] <ardian> How do i change passwd for a user ?
[15:39] <lorenzo__> saaaalve
[15:39] <kla> RanyAlbeg, pwd.h is a system-wide include file, pwd.c which is confusingly named similarly is the source of the utility 'pwd' which is often overridden by the shell's own internal command
[15:39] <ardian> How do i change passwd for a user ?
[15:39] <LjL> ardian: sudo passwd username
[15:39] <RanyAlbeg> ardian: sudo passwd
[15:40] <kla> RanyAlbeg, Ask in #c for more details
[15:40] <RanyAlbeg> ardian: and the user name. sry
[15:40]  * sidh don't even understand why from 2 month of official release of lucid that problem is still not solved on karmic
[15:40] <ardian> kay thanks
[15:40] <alzamabar> Slart: I edited /etc/crontab
[15:40] <ikonia> sidh: why would it ?
[15:40] <ikonia> sidh: lucid is not related to karmic in terms of fix resolution
[15:40] <sidh> ikonia: it is a kernel parameter problem
[15:40] <ikonia> sidh: so ?
[15:40] <RanyAlbeg> kla: so i got confused between pwd as a shortcut for password , and pwd as present working directory. right?
[15:41] <Slart> alzamabar: well.. try restarting the crontab service.. see if it works
[15:41] <kla> RanyAlbeg, yes :)
[15:41] <sidh> releasing a working kernel in karmic repos should solve the problem
[15:41] <|sanchez|> RanyAlbeg  pwd is present working directory
[15:41] <alzamabar> Slart, actually I can see that it picked it up
[15:41] <Slart> alzamabar: ah.. great
[15:41] <IdleOne> sidh: is it a security issue? if not it won't be backported until lucid is officially released as I understand the release process in ubuntu
[15:41] <ikonia> sidh: it may not have been tested/packaged for karmic, lucid's status has nothing to do with karmic
[15:41] <sidh> IdleOne: that problem is specific to karmic amd64 kernel
[15:42] <sidh> only this release
[15:42] <ikonia> sidh: add the parameter manually ?
[15:42] <IdleOne> sidh: my comment still stands
[15:42] <sidh> http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/5501
[15:42] <RanyAlbeg> kla : thank you very much.
[15:43] <sidh> ikonia: i'm not sure ubuntu users are used to manually recompile a kernel
[15:43] <ikonia> sidh: oh, it's not a run time parameter, then fair enough
[15:43] <kla> RanyAlbeg, glad to be of help
[15:43] <ikonia> sidh: however it won't be fixed
[15:43] <ikonia> sidh: update the bug if you want to push it
[15:43] <jose__> does anyone know a nautilus extension used to join different locations in one folder?? can't remember name
[15:43] <sidh> ikonia: i've upgraded to lucid
[15:43] <RanyAlbeg> kla: :)
[15:43] <sidh> that's ok now
[15:44] <ikonia> sidh: update the karmic bug if you feel it needs to be fixed
[15:44] <IdleOne> sidh: Lucid is supported in #ubuntu+1 btw
[15:44] <IdleOne> perhaps someone in there can shed more light
[15:44] <safe> Why can't I make a Guest account? In Users and groups I can't choose "don't ask for password"
[15:44] <sidh> ok
[15:44] <DrSp0ckk> Can I remove everything that comes with Ubuntu in terms of software and start from fresh? Or at least revert the system back to a freshly installed state?
[15:45] <ikonia> DrSp0ckk: no
[15:45] <DrSp0ckk> ikonia: So I would just have to reload the image on the VPS?
[15:45] <ikonia> DrSp0ckk: if you want it back to %100 default, yes
[15:45] <safe> How do I even enable a guest account?
[15:45] <DrSp0ckk> Shame. I wouldn't an encrypted LVM setup.
[15:46] <DrSp0ckk> wouldn't mind*
[15:48] <jose__> does anyone know a nautilus extension used to join different locations in one folder?? can't remember name
[15:49] <jojojo_> Hey everyone, I'm fooling around for hours now: My problem is the following. My newly installed thunderbird doesn't want to open links anymore in firefox
[15:49] <ikonia> jojojo_: what version of thunderbird ?
[15:49] <jojojo_> ikonia: 3.0
[15:50] <ikonia> jojojo_: where did you get 3 from, as it's not in the repo's
[15:50] <motaka2> can anyone help me trouble shooting mu LAMP?
[15:50] <ikonia> motaka2: what's the issue
[15:50] <jojojo_> ikonia: http://ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net/
[15:50] <jojojo_> ikonia: that seemed me the best repo
[15:50] <ikonia> jojojo_: I suggest you contact them for support - as that's not an ubuntu repo
[15:51] <ikonia> jojojo_: they have a support forum
[15:52] <jojojo_> I'm gonna try that
[15:52] <jojojo_> thanks
[15:52] <uBuSmallFonts> i said better ;)
[15:52] <uBuSmallFonts> i am using mythbuntu in a huge lcd tv...i downloaded maximumtvguide  but can't read anything since fonts are too small...used qtsettings to change font size but got no results...any better idea?
[15:53] <kla> uBuSmallFonts, try installing more ttf fonts, try gtk-chtheme, install 100dpi fonts, try font settings with your desktop environment...
[15:54] <safe> What # has wine?
[15:54] <kla> safe: #winehq
[15:54] <Slart> !wine
[15:54] <|sanchez|> safe what do you want to do with wine ?
[15:55] <safe> |sanchez|: Install something called mono.
[15:55] <|sanchez|> wine is imo useless now adays with virtualization such as virtualbox easier to just run a VM and get support that way
[15:55] <ikonia> safe: mono is not a wine application
[15:55] <ikonia> safe: mono is linux native
[15:55] <|sanchez|> heh even easier
[15:55] <Slart> |sanchez|: wine doesn't need a license
[15:55] <|sanchez|> Slart true but who doesnt have a spare windows XP laying around ?
[15:55] <walla> Guys, still some problems with that network card, if anyone can help...
[15:56] <|sanchez|> buy an old machine most have an XP key on the back :)
[15:56] <safe> ikonia: Trying to run Eufloria (lightweight game), and it says "install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables"
[15:56] <kla> |sanchez|, some of us dont have (legit) windows laying around
[15:58] <Yarcanox> hi. sendmail is broken here: "sendmail: fatal: chdir /var/spool/postfix: Permission denied" /var/ and /var/spool are both chmod 777'ed and /var/spool/postfix is owned by root:postfix, whereas the user "mail" is in the postfix group and the folder has 770 rights
[15:58] <Yarcanox> what am I doing wrong?
[15:59] <hal9k20101> good morning
[16:00] <kla> Yarcanox, and sendmail is running as what user:groups
[16:00] <Yarcanox> kla: I assumed it would use "mail" on ubuntu :< I don't know though
[16:00] <Yarcanox> ah wait, it might be php when started from php, right?
[16:00] <Yarcanox> good hint >.>
[16:00] <kla> Yarcanox, possible
[16:01] <Yarcanox> hm
[16:01] <hal9k20101> need some help with screen  setup  my colors look funky after this install
[16:01] <Yarcanox> just made php part of the "postfix" group aswell - still same error :<
[16:01] <Yarcanox> php is running as fcgi, will now php open up sendmail or will the web server do it?
[16:01] <walla> Thanks everyone, it's working now
[16:01] <Fill23> how do i install gnome desktop? (nothing except base system is installed)
[16:02] <kla> Yarcanox, restart the php process for group changes to take effect, of course
[16:03] <unop> Fill23,  install the ubuntu-desktop meta-package
[16:03] <Fill23> unop: 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop meta-package'?
[16:03] <Guest42365> how do i run an executable file in terminal?
[16:03] <unop> Fill23,  almost, take the meta-package thing off the end
[16:03] <kla> Fill23, without 'meta-package'
[16:03] <wasutton0\3_> i have done something incredibly stupid. I have accidentally uninstalled gnome (by way of sudo apt-get purge gvfs) is this recoverable or is my system hosed?
[16:03] <Fill23> ok, will try no, thx
[16:03] <Fill23> now*
[16:04] <benny_> I can't get my computer to recognize my linksys WUSB54GSC adapter even though I just replaced an identical broken one
[16:04] <Yarcanox> what's wrong with "usermod --groups php www-data wwwdata php"?
[16:04] <kla> Fill23, 'meta package' means it doesn't hold real files just points to the stuff that needs to be installed, etc... just FYI
[16:04] <morph> how long does a "make install" usually take"
[16:04] <|sanchez|> Yarcanox is user "php"
[16:04] <morph> i typed make install like 25 minutes ago and it still hasnt put my prompt up yet
[16:04] <morph> and its a small freakin file
[16:04] <unop> morph, depends on the package you are building.  i.e. how long is a peice of string?
[16:04] <kla> morph, depends on the software you're trying to install and if you ran just 'make' before that
[16:04] <|sanchez|> unop bravo on that response
[16:05] <Yarcanox> |sanchez|: yes that's the user
[16:05] <morph> it said to type "make install"
[16:05] <|sanchez|> Yarcanox php user is in php group already
[16:05] <morph> http://github.com/pedrofranceschi/MagicMouse/
[16:05] <morph> im installing that
[16:05] <Yarcanox> |sanchez|: I'm not using -a
[16:05] <unop> wasutton0\3_,  you could install the ubuntu-desktop meta-package too
[16:06] <morph> is there a command i can type to see if its installed?
[16:06] <Yarcanox> |sanchez|: I expected this to replace php's current groups
[16:06] <|sanchez|> Yarcanox try usermode -G "groups" "user"
[16:07] <yabbo> ok so i installed 9.10 server and installed update-motd but for some reason i dont have the update-motd command in /usr/sbin or any other location on the system
[16:07] <Yarcanox> |sanchez|: then it complains that the group "php www-data wwwdata" doesn't exist
[16:07] <|sanchez|> gotta make groups first
[16:07] <jose__> does anyone know a nautilus extension used to join different locations in one folder?? can't remember name
[16:07] <kla> |sanchez|, Yarcanox : that's 'usermod' and -a -G best
[16:07] <|sanchez|> groupadd "groupds"
[16:07] <|sanchez|> kla usermod is what i emant
[16:07] <|sanchez|> thansk :)
[16:07] <kla> y/w
[16:08] <Yarcanox> kla: I thought usermod could also replace a user's groups
[16:08] <|sanchez|> it can if group exists
[16:08] <Yarcanox> but apparently it is either too dumb to parse that or I'm doing it wrong
[16:08] <Yarcanox> |sanchez|: and multiple groups as a start is not possible?
[16:08] <|sanchez|> Yarcanox http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-add-user-to-group/
[16:08] <kla> Yarcanox, it can, but, -a -G adds to what's called supplementary groups
[16:08] <Yarcanox> kla: I used --groups without -a
[16:08] <unop> |sanchez|, Yarcanox -  sudo adduser user group
[16:08] <Yarcanox> kla: and all usermod --groups some groups here user
[16:08] <Yarcanox> gives me is the --help output
[16:08] <|sanchez|> unop what are you telling me for
[16:09] <Yarcanox> kla: all the groups exist and so does the user
[16:09] <unop> |sanchez|,  it's just FYI
[16:09] <Yarcanox> unop: well that would kinda work... I'm just wondering why usermod is rejecting this command
[16:09] <|sanchez|> unop i know how to admin an linux system lol
[16:10] <unop> Yarcanox, I've never used usermod -- after having being bitten by the same command you were given by |sanchez|
[16:10] <yabbo> anyone able to help with update-motd ?
[16:10] <kla> yabbo, just !ask :)
[16:11] <frankS2> Hi how can i display what has been done in the packages that can be updated? And how do i display ONLY the security packages
[16:11] <yabbo> !ask update-motd
[16:11] <yabbo> !update-motd
[16:11] <alzamabar> I wrote a general backup utility script: It's available at http://www.jemos.co.uk/software/scripts/
[16:11] <yabbo> guess not lol
[16:11] <unop> frankS2,   apt-show-versions -u | grep -i security  # perhaps
[16:11] <|sanchez|> alzamabar rsync and amanda work pretty well
[16:12] <ActionpackedPIVI> So what are the best free linux game ?
[16:12] <ActionpackedPIVI> Im looking for one
[16:12] <kla> yabbo, sorry I mean to say '!ask' as in:
[16:12] <kla> !ask | yabbo
[16:12] <alzamabar> sanchez: I'm sure, but I don't see how that should limit my wish to share something I find useful with the community
[16:12] <yabbo> ActionpackedPIVI i like Legends
[16:13] <ActionpackedPIVI> yabbo, all right, I'll check it out :P
[16:13] <richlyn> hi can anyone access blogs  in firefox in ububtu
[16:13] <yabbo> Im running 9.10 server and i wanted to change my MOTD to add weather so i installed update-motd but for some reason i dont have any of the commands but the folder exists
[16:14] <Slart> richlyn: yes
[16:14] <blakkheim> yabbo: i had the same problem
[16:14] <yabbo> blakkheim how did you fix it?
[16:14] <lampliter> trying agin:  any idea how I can fix the flash crashes on my amd64 machine?
[16:14] <blakkheim> yabbo: i didn't
[16:14] <richlyn> Slart: i am getting error :server not found
[16:14] <yabbo> blakkheim: LOL
[16:15] <richlyn> Slart:i connected the same network thru windows and was bale to access
[16:15] <Slart> richlyn: what is the url?
[16:15] <yabbo> blakkheim: i would forget about it but things like that mess with my head and i want them to work lol
[16:15] <mintymint> Hello, I am trying to install swiftweasel, I can't find a repository to add to synaptic, could someone help me on this ? thank you
[16:15] <blakkheim> yabbo: it works on my gentoo server but the ubuntu system i've got has the same issue as you
[16:15] <kla> richlyn, your ISP maybe blocking the address you're trying to visit, there's that possibility too
[16:16] <kla> !tor | richlyn
[16:16] <richlyn> www.rxezlqu.blogspot.com  matter of fact cant access any blogs ie"www.xxxxx.blogspot.com
[16:16] <kla> hmm that didn't show what was expected
[16:16] <richlyn> kla: !tor ????
[16:16] <Slart> richlyn: blogs can be just about any kind of website..  it doesn't have to be hosted by blogspot
[16:16] <VCoolio> mintymint: you can download a .tar.gz, extract and run it from there, no need to install
[16:16] <richlyn> i cant access ones hosted by blogspot
[16:16] <kla> richlyn, could be your ISP, install package 'tor' and use it
[16:16] <richlyn> ok
[16:17] <richlyn> will search on tor
[16:17] <Slart> richlyn: works for me
[16:17] <richlyn>  lemme try that now
[16:17] <mauri> i serachinf for a tool  for modify pdf document....im using pdfedit but it has same problems
[16:17] <unop> alzamabar,  the script has some flaws, especially with quoting of variables and parsing the contents of ls -- if you want to fix them, /join #bash and use !pitfalls
[16:17] <kla> richlyn, 'sudo apt-get install tor' then make firefox use the proxy port opened by tor and there you go censorship no more
[16:18] <SwedeMike> richlyn: and you get your passwords sniffed for free by the tor exit operators.
[16:18] <lampliter> let me tryanother Q , any good and simple tools for UI mock up?
[16:19] <Slart> lampliter: openoffice draw?
[16:19] <lampliter> need to do dynamic changes.
[16:19] <alzamabar> unop: thanks. This is a first cut, I know it's probably buggy, plus it should be tweaked for one's own environment. I'll join the channel
[16:19] <lampliter> 30 se to get my mic working
[16:20] <CQ> hello, I have bacula installed, have the database on another machine set up and working, and am trying to find a GUI that works under ubuntu, but none of the dozen docs I've seen have so far told me which pakcages to install or what the executable name of a gui would be...
[16:20] <alzamabar> unop: I'm typing /join #bash but nothing happens
[16:20] <lampliter> okay, speech recognition working. It's so much fun being disabled
[16:21] <lampliter> user interface I'm trying to describe is a tool for helping disabled programmers like myself create and edit code
[16:21] <lampliter> it starts with what is called "an enhanced dictation box".
[16:21] <unop> alzamabar,  make sure you don't have any leading spaces before /join  -- and your irc client might have opened the channel in a separate tab or in the background
[16:22] <lampliter> The enhanced dictation box is simply a speech recognition friendly editor. Lightweight, fast etc.
[16:22] <lampliter> the dictation box talks to a program which is bound to a running instance of an application
[16:22] <lampliter> there can be many of these mediator programs as people can use many instances of programs such as multiple terminal sessions, multiple versions of OpenOffice or browsers
[16:22] <yield_> pessoal vcs sabem fazer programas por wine detectar cdrom (iso)?
[16:23] <lampliter> if I'm going to simulate that user interface, what they need to show is that there are multiple tabs in each tab is associated with the mediator and its application, I'd like to be able to do something like click a tab and have it light up the associated mediator
[16:23] <lampliter> make sense?
[16:23] <ciunix> hi all
[16:24] <lampliter> And yes, that's the simple part
[16:24] <Diverdude> Is there a way to to maintain the clipboard even after the application from which content was copied to the clipboard is closed?
[16:24] <ciunix> can anyone help in the first installation of django?
[16:24] <blakkheim> Diverdude: you need a clipboard manager application
[16:24] <VCoolio> Diverdude: ^like parcellite
[16:24] <yield_> guys you know how to make wine detect iso files as cdrom inserted (not working here at all)?
[16:24] <CQ> yield_: try in #ubuntu-pt  maybe? this is an english channel...
[16:25] <soreau> yield_: You'd need to mount it
[16:25] <yield_> soreau i mounted, and configured winecfg too, but just didnt work
[16:26] <user_> hum
[16:26] <Diverdude> blakkheim, hmm why is such things not enabled automatically?
[16:26] <ciunix> hi all

[16:26] <blakkheim> Diverdude: i am not an ubuntu developer
[16:26] <ciunix> can anybody help me?
[16:26] <soreau> yield_: Have you tried the wine channel?
[16:26] <aaron11> how do you find your routers dns
[16:27] <yield_> yea they just ignored me there =D
[16:27] <soreau> aaron11: It might be in the router config somewhere

[16:27] <ciunix> #ubuntu-desktop
[16:28] <motaka2> does anyone know where apache configs are located?
[16:28] <aaron11> soreau: I forgot my router password
[16:28] <soreau> ciunix: What have you tried so far and what problem are you having exactly?
[16:28] <fill> kla: if u here, i getting some errors in the end of ubuntu-desktop install, and i dunno if it installed or not, for example there is no xorg.conf in /etc/X11
[16:28] <soreau> aaron11: Then you will have to remember it or reset your router to default
[16:28] <aaron11> soreau: Wait I got it
[16:29] <kla> Fill, new xorg should work without xorg.conf, but if you insist on it 'Xorg -configure' then copy the generated file to /etc/X11
[16:29] <aaron11> soreau: which url is my router?
[16:29] <ciunix> ok

[16:32] <overmind> blakkheim: Thanks
[16:32] <ciunix> I' ve installed django, now I've this error:  cannot import name HttpResponse
[16:32] <blakkheim> overmind: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/msttcorefonts this?
[16:32] <kla> lina, first it's best if you reformat as ext2 instead (better for your drive), as for permissions depends, is it just 1 big directory you put stuff in or a unix filesytem with stuff like /dev /etc /var /tmp ??
[16:33] <overmind> blakkheim: It seems package is ttf-mscorefonts-installer, thanks :)

[16:33] <MegaHerz> Hi all
[16:33] <MegaHerz> What is Ubuntu way to add a module to autoload?
[16:33] <lina> kla: I think I can just mount it as ext2 specifically and it won't use the journal. Also, it's a disk drive not flash storage so I dont think it matters. Anyway, it's just a couple of folders like /films and /photos
[16:34] <oskar-> MegaHerz:  write its name into a line in /etc/modules
[16:34] <lina> kla: and I don't have the storage to backup / format / restore

[16:36] <combunio> how can i make link in /bin folder so if i want to run a command save there i just have to type the word in console ? :)
[16:36] <oskar-> MegaHerz:  look, which one it is (lspci, lsusb, ...), and then maybe someone here or a web search engine of your choice can help you
[16:37] <soreau> combunio: I didn't understand your question fully but perhaps you want to create a symlink
[16:37] <lina> soreau: he probably means it doesn't read cards ;)
[16:37] <combunio> soreau: yes, simlink :D
[16:37] <unop> combunio,  mkdir ~/bin  # i.e. 'bin' in your home directory and i believe that should be enough - you'll need to log off and log back on
[16:37] <soreau> combunio: ln -s /path/to/existing/file /path/to/shortcut/name
[16:38] <oskar-> combunio: you can do:  sudo ln -s /path/to/my/program /bin/myprogram
[16:38] <richlyn> swedemike:get your passwords sniffed for free by the tor exit operators , what do you mean??
[16:38] <combunio> i mean I want command "killall konversation" make able with just one word, e.g. "kon" :)
[16:39] <combunio> my friend told me to try with bin or sthing
[16:39] <unop> combunio,  alias kon='killall konversation'
[16:39] <unop> no need for a script here
[16:39] <combunio> unop: thx ! :D
[16:39] <lina> unop: shouldn't that be "kok" :)
[16:39] <combunio> unop: let's try that now :D

[16:40] <MegaHerz> I have Card Reader built in my laptop Acer Aspire 5930. It doesn't work. Here is lspci output: http://pastebin.com/qKE83C2d . Any ideas how can I make Ubuntu to make card reader working?

[16:48] <Gnosiz> Could someone fill me in, what is the point in having Ubuntu, if you can just have 'GNOME'?
[16:48] <Gnosiz> As in, what does Ubuntu provide that GNOME doesn't?
[16:48] <tuxnani> can we port ubuntu for .exe?
[16:48] <psycho_oreos> Gnome is just a DE/WM
[16:48] <tuxnani> de/wm?
[16:48] <Gnosiz> But is there not a GNOME OS
[16:48] <psycho_oreos> desktop environment/window manager
[16:48] <bullgard> Gnosiz: Ubuntu provides the basic computer functions on which GNOME builds up.
[16:48] <tini> are your messenger?
[16:48] <overmind> Gnosiz: Canonical's support, for example, the most of programms are supported by it, with updates
[16:49] <psycho_oreos> Gnome is not an OS, Gnome is not a distribution, Gnome is just a front end de/wm

[16:53] <agdoku> does the ubuntu server image support raid and lvm?
[16:54] <bullgard> Why is 'PulseAudio Manager' and 'PulseAudio Device Chooser' in http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup followed by "OBSOLETE"?
[16:54] <hydester> i'll do dist-upgrade, but it is one of those things that i kick off a video job that would take hours and then come back to see X recycled.
[16:56] <odalix> psych_oreos : here is the result of my terminal session with a test with VLC http://paste.ubuntu.com/385791/
[16:56] <oskar-> agdoku:  if it would not, it had not deserved the name "server image". i am sure, they inserted support for it
[16:56] <agdoku> oskar-: that does not mean much
[16:56] <agdoku> oskar-: what would be the alternate image for then?
[16:57] <psycho_oreos> odalix, I'm presuming the output video format is stuffed but I can't read French :)
[16:58] <agdoku> I need somebody to "know" whether or not the server image supports raid installations
[16:58] <sammy> #netbeans
[16:58] <odalix> psycho_oreos,  the error is at the end, but apparently, this error type is a standard one for vlc, meaning that it can contain many different problems;..
[16:58] <theadmin> ...I don't get it. Why when i want to make something listen to port 80, i have to be root?
[16:59] <MegaHerz> How to add an option to a kernel when using GRUB? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8774147&postcount=1 - this instruction referes to /etc/default/grub file, but I have no such a file on Karmic
[16:59] <frankS2> Hello, I recently inserted a new Harddrive in my ubuntu desktop, it runs software raid and its device is /dev/mapper/FOO, how can i create a LVM partition of FOO?
[16:59] <agdoku> seems like "server" installation cd does not support raid setups
[16:59] <psycho_oreos> odalix, might even be low amount of memory for insufficient resource
[17:00] <agdoku> they are pointing towards the alternate image here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID
[17:00] <rob_p> theadmin: Any ports lower than 1025 are called, "privileged ports" and require root in order to bind to them.
[17:00] <odalix> psycho_oreos, how can I check this ?
[17:00] <psycho_oreos> theadmin, those are low numbered ports, especially assigned by iana
[17:00] <frankS2> agdoku: what is the problem? I just made raid work
[17:00] <theadmin> rob_p: Weird :/
[17:00] <oskar-> agdoku: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/techspecs/whatsnew#lvmdefault
[17:00] <psycho_oreos> odalix, mm I only know the terminal command, free
[17:00] <usuario_> Paula
[17:01] <usuario_> kkgsg
[17:01] <rob_p> theadmin: The exception is when a service is able to, 'downgrade' it's privs after starting up and binding to the priv'd port.
[17:01] <agdoku> frankS2: I know how to setup a raid by hand, but I need to know which installer CD does support raid setups on first install.
[17:01] <erUSUL> agdoku: alternate afaik
[17:01] <odalix> psycho_oreos, ?
[17:01] <erUSUL> !alternate
[17:01] <rob_p> theadmin: It's been that way since the beginning...
[17:02] <theadmin> rob_p: It still is weird
[17:02] <psycho_oreos> odalix, I only know the terminal command to see how much memory has been used, etc.. and that is the command "free"
[17:02] <erUSUL> !raid
[17:02] <rob_p> theadmin: perhaps
[17:02] <RanyAlbeg> Hello , do you know if i can take a picture using command line?
[17:02] <theadmin> And why is port "8080" called "http-alt"?
[17:02] <odalix> psycho_oreos, thanks
[17:02] <psycho_oreos> theadmin, alternative httpd port
[17:02] <ikonia> theadmin: it's an alternative port for http - eg: proxying like squid
[17:03] <psycho_oreos> odalix, how much memory do you have in that computer anyway?
[17:03] <spiffythekid> 8080 is typically used for proxys
[17:03] <rob_p> theadmin: I guess a group of people got together and decided it would make a great alternate port for http!
[17:03] <theadmin> psycho_oreos: Dunno, when i installed mine HTTPD httpd.conf had only 80 there
[17:03] <rob_p> theadmin: That's because the typical port for httpd is port 80.
[17:03] <erUSUL> MegaHerz: it is a karmic fresh install or youupgraed from 9.04 ?
[17:03] <odalix> psycho_oreos, http://paste.ubuntu.com/385793/
[17:04] <psycho_oreos> theadmin, yeah but like previously mentioned before, port 80 is a privileged/reserved port, only root has that right to run daemons on low port numbers
[17:04] <agdoku> oskar-: server image now supports lvm by default. great. what about raid. nothing is mentioned there.
[17:04] <MegaHerz_> erUSUL: upgraded from 9.04
[17:04] <MegaHerz_> erUSUL: it should persist on Karmic?
[17:04] <theadmin> psycho_oreos: Well, i just put that in /etc/init.d, so no worries anymore.
[17:04] <erUSUL> MegaHerz_: then you are still using grub1. and you still have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[17:04] <psycho_oreos> odalix, hmm it might be a bit low on memory I think, try other alternative media players
[17:04] <MegaHerz_> erUSUL: can I upgrade?
[17:05] <MegaHerz_> erUSUL: should i
[17:05] <theadmin> Also, uh, do init.d scripts require "#!" stuff?
[17:05] <psycho_oreos> theadmin, yeah and root will start that, therefore it becomes low number
[17:05] <MegaHerz_> erUSUL: is it better for me to..? :)
[17:05] <crawler> RanyAlbeg: you mean take a screenshot?
[17:05] <erUSUL> MegaHerz_: you can; it is your choice
[17:05] <psycho_oreos> theadmin, that's to tell the shell interpreter to use a specific shell
[17:05] <spiffythekid> sorry one more question, if . wildcard is for any character, is there one for only numbers?
[17:05] <erUSUL> MegaHerz_: if you want to edit menu.lst you have to tweak this line ┬½ # defoptions=quiet splash ┬╗
[17:06] <theadmin> psycho_oreos: What's the default? Although, whatever, i just put "#!/bin/bash"
[17:06] <erUSUL> spiffythekid: [0-9] for example.
[17:06] <psycho_oreos> theadmin, I don't think there is a default, though if its not defined, it usually goes by /bin/bash
[17:06] <MegaHerz_> erUSUL: I'm upgrading to Grub2 )
[17:06] <odalix> psycho_oreos, that's the point. At first, the idea was to read HD files on my ps3 but it doesn't manage well with mkv's... apparently, mp4 works on my computer and on the ps3... but it's sometimes hard to find mp4 files
[17:06] <blakkheim> MegaHerz_: more like downgrading
[17:07] <erUSUL> MegaHerz_: ok; good luck
[17:07] <rob_p> theadmin: Your init scripts *may* work without #! but it's poor practice to script without specifying an interpreter.
[17:07] <theadmin> rob_p: Well, not like it's hard or anything.
[17:07] <rob_p> theadmin: yup
[17:07] <fab_74> hello, i have a problem with postfix

[17:08] <spiffythekid> erUSUL: Thanks!
[17:08] <MegaHerz_> erUSUL: thanks. Btw, when installing it asked to chain loading. If I undestood it correctly, after test I should execute grub-upgrade-from-legacy by hand?
[17:08] <psycho_oreos> odalix, well, with your memory specs a bit below the mark, you might have issues running certain applications, you might be able to get away without multitasking I suppose
[17:08] <theadmin> Also, a question to scripters out there, may i do something like if [ stuff ] ; then #!/bin/bash fi
[17:08] <erUSUL> MegaHerz_: yes
[17:08] <MegaHerz_> erUSUL: thank you
[17:08] <psycho_oreos> theadmin, you might want to ask that in #bash
[17:08] <erUSUL> theadmin: no; the shebang line has to go in the first line of the script as is

[17:17] <Jeangleur> but neither this nor cheese or camorama works. I just tried ubuntu-live and installed skype and the other freshly, same problems
[17:18] <richlyn> anybody using tor had issues with password  being sniffed?
[17:18] <ikonia> richlyn: how is this an ubuntu issue ?
[17:18] <ikonia> richlyn: try the TOR support resources
[17:19] <odalix> psycho_oreos, Thank you, I'll try some tests. bye
[17:19] <samphippen> if someone is logged in as root on my machine, and they su to me, does my home directory automatically decrypt itself?
[17:20] <richlyn> alright i try tor resources
[17:20] <Jeangleur> can anyone help me with my webcam? its two weeks now I try to solve it
[17:20] <richlyn> out
[17:20] <llutz> richlyn: tor doesn't encrypt, so everyone may sniff whats going through his node
[17:20] <ikonia> samphippen: depends how they have it setup, but they won't be logged in as root if you're using ubuntu
[17:20] <crawler> Richlyn: if you send your password over tor network, there's a good chance it will be sniffed
[17:20] <ikonia> samphippen: ubuntu doesn't have a root password so they can't login as root
[17:20] <treats-home> I'm looking for a point toward some resources to help me develope custom printer software
[17:20] <samphippen> ikonia: if you go recovery mode don't you get an automatic root prompt for free?
[17:20] <ikonia> samphippen: you get a root shell yes
[17:20] <samphippen> ikonia: ok, so if they're root through that way, what happens?
[17:21] <ikonia> samphippen: depends how you've setup your encyrption
[17:21] <samphippen> ikonia: I clicked the "encrypted home directory" option at install
[17:21] <ikonia> samphippen: password the grub prompt if you're worried about that
[17:21] <ikonia> samphippen: that shouldn't un-encypt then
[17:23] <Jeangleur> anyone good in the webcam issues?
[17:24] <theadmin> Blech! If i boot the system in the recovery mode, i can get full root rights with no password at all!? This is insecure!
[17:25] <wesley_> is there a console command that will tell me whats using my soundcard? some rogue program aparently is killing it so i cant get sound elsewhere
[17:25] <disappearedng> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/183920/ this file is in /etc/cron.d/novpn, and installed with `crontab /etc/cron.d/openvpn`any idea why this is not working out?
[17:25] <LjL> theadmin: if you have physical access to the machine, you can do whatever you want no matter what, really.
[17:25] <theadmin> LjL: If there is a password of some kind then not really.
[17:26] <theadmin> Okay, gotta get this thing out of the GRUB menu. Also, what's this "memtest" thing, is it of any use?
[17:26] <LjL> theadmin: if you have physical access to the machine, you can unscrew it and take the HD. that seems "full access" enough to me.
[17:26] <kla> theadmin, runs tests on your RAM.
[17:27] <theadmin> kla: Some creepy tests. "Pass (180%)" looks very, very weird
[17:27] <henkpoley> My ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD boots to desktop and then hangs (mouse pointer frozen, caps/numlock doesn't work). I tried noapic/nolapic. Anything else ?
[17:27] <Jeangleur> or does anyone know where I can find help for my webcam? I try to make it work since about 3 weeks and no idea where to go next...
[17:27] <GeekSquid> theadmin: by removing that from the grub menu you are only securing it to the point that the recovery mode is not automatically accessable ... but by adding 'single' to the end of the grub line at boot, an administrator can still have access to the recovery console
[17:27] <wesley_> is there a console command that will tell me whats using my soundcard? some rogue program aparently is killing it so i cant get sound elsewhere
[17:27] <theadmin> LjL: Well... good point there.
[17:27] <Jeangleur> is there any professional service center or something? I don't mind paying
[17:29] <_dreamy> j #gaming
[17:29] <kla> !support | Jeangleur
[17:29] <GeekSquid> wesley: lspci |grep -Ri audio will tell you your audio card
[17:29] <_dreamy> !games
[17:29] <DrSp0ckk> Does Ubuntu protect against executables being executable from /tmp at all? The default partition table doesn't separate /tmp from /, and that concerns me. I can't set noexec, nosuid or nodev on /tmp.
[17:30] <GeekSquid> Jeangleur: canonical.com provides professional support ... there are other companies ... see the partners page on canonical's page
[17:30] <wesley_> GeekSquid: it shows me what kind of audio card I have but not what program is locking it up preventing me from getting audio anywhere
[17:30] <Jeangleur> kla: what do you mean?
[17:30] <llutz> DrSp0ckk: mount --bind /tmp /tmp -o noexec
[17:30] <Jeangleur> ubottu: aren't we here on #ubuntu ?!
[17:31] <DrSp0ckk> llutz: Oh hello? That's interesting. I'm new to the whole security thing and it's something I want to investigate in great detail. Perhaps I should review the mount man page. Thanks very much.
[17:34] <Guest42633> !upgrade
[17:34] <fu-alex> any one know how to installing grub? my grub dissapear after installing windows 7
[17:34] <ikonia> !grub2 > fu-alex
[17:34] <ikonia> !grub > fu-alex
[17:34] <ikonia> fu-alex: check out the links ubottu has just pm'd you
[17:35] <DrSp0ckk> llutz: Ah I see. '--bind' remounts that directory somewhere else on the file hierarchy; all you've done there is remount back to its original place, but with additional options?
[17:35] <llutz> DrSp0ckk: that's the trick if you don't have an own partition for /tmp
[17:36] <fu-alex> ok
[17:36] <Schuenemann> !codecs
[17:36] <oskar-> DrSp0ckk:  if you have lots of ram, you can as an alternative mount a tmpfs on /tmp with the desired options
[17:37] <llutz> DrSp0ckk: fstab would be: /tmp /tmp none    bind,noexec,nodev,nosuid    0 0
[17:37] <Promille> A little question. Would the speed be any different with transfering through sftp rather than ftpes?
[17:38] <ZykoticK9> Promille, i'm guessing there would be a small amount of overhead for encryption, doubt it would be noticeable.
[17:38] <wesley_> is there a console command that will tell me whats using my soundcard? some rogue program aparently is killing it so i cant get sound elsewhere
[17:38] <oskar-> DrSp0ckk:  or for tmpfs: none /tmp tmpfs size=2G,noexec 0 0
[17:38] <llutz> Promille: ftpes? ftps you mean?  should be equal
[17:39] <norbi905> Hello. Please stick with me while I try to explain this.  I have two exports in Ubuntu.  In windows these would be cifs 1 and cifs 2.  Now When I copy a file into cifs 1 from Windows, I want that file to automatically be duplicated onto cifs 2.  Is there a way of doing this in Linux?  I'm using Ubuntu 9.10
[17:39] <Promille> ZykoticK9: but ftpes uses the same encryption as sftp, doesnt it? is it "more" encryption at ssh2 level?
[17:39] <liuxuquan> hello
[17:39] <Promille> llutz: i mean ftpes, implicit tls/ssl
[17:39] <Hoppipola> I have a problem with my RAID 5 /dev/md1 device. Here is my fdisk -l and my mdadm -D /dev/md0 and md1 http://pastebin.com/MBmyrdc4 I recently lost a disk, and failed, removed it, and added a new one. I am trying to mount now, and I can't because I get this error http://pastebin.com/8sSV4xtq
[17:40] <ZykoticK9> Promille, oh sorry, when i read it i assumed you just mean ftp - i don't even know what FTPes is.  Sorry i have no idea then.
[17:40] <beij2> hi
[17:40]  * PascalFr_parti est parti: Parti pour l'instant.
[17:40] <llutz> Promille: i just found that, never used it. But still, i would guess its equal to sftp
[17:40] <Hoppipola> is there a way to retrieve this data, if I cannot mount?
[17:41] <Promille> llutz: kk
[17:41] <ZykoticK9> Hoppipola, if you don't get an answer in this channel you might also want to try #ubuntu-server they typically have more RAID experience

[17:48] <Guest52404> *HTML
[17:48] <zoska> hello all! how can i download iso images with partial checksum support? i've tried aria2 and metalink but the shows me errors on completion and then i must redownload the whole thing again and again. always there's some error.
[17:48] <bsmith093> i have a dualboot setup with ubuntu and xp pro if i reinstall ubuntu do i have to do anything special to xp to get it to boot
[17:49] <zoska> additionally my isp blocked bittorrent
[17:49] <duffydack> set irc_conf_mode ON
[17:49] <mkquist> bsmith093: not usually
[17:49] <Neon0Blue> Did you get it?
[17:49] <guntbert_> duffydack: start with /  :-)
[17:49] <duffydack> :)
[17:49] <GeekSquid> Guest52404: there is a package called latex2html ... and it will do what you want
[17:50] <bsmith093> ok well it says it cant find a file to boot with where would i find the file
[17:50] <bsmith093> on the install disk
[17:50] <crawler> zoska: as for your ISP, sometimes you can get around traffic shaping by enabling encryption in your torrent client.
[17:50] <GeekSquid> Neon0Blue: please use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste that output .. too long for IRC
[17:50] <guntbert_> Neon0Blue: please use !pastebin

[17:51] <Neon0Blue> http://paste.ubuntu.com/385813/
[17:51] <Neon0Blue> ok there.
[17:51] <mkquist> bsmith093: what do you mean? xp cant start or ubuntu?
[17:51] <bsmith093> xp says something like cant find file nt.dll
[17:52] <saganbyte> I m trying to copy a xml file to usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/styles .. but i get permission denied(obviously) but i m unable to do it thru sudo cp <xml file> to the specified location
[17:52] <bsmith093> xp is still an option in grub but it wont boot
[17:52] <yourmghq> i love ubuntu
[17:52] <llutz> bsmith093: google for "ntldr missing"
[17:52] <yourmghq> i installed it after my windows BSOD
[17:53] <zoska> crawler: my isp blocks all incoming connections iirc
[17:53] <bsmith093> thanx
[17:53] <zoska> only outgoiing connections allowed
[17:53] <mkquist> bsmith093: sounds like ur xp install got futzed.  what did you do?
[17:53] <Neon0Blue> Does anyone know how to fix this?
[17:53] <Neon0Blue> http://paste.ubuntu.com/385813/
[17:53] <ZykoticK9> yourmghq, we love your Ubuntu enthusiasm, but do you have a support question?  If you just want to "chat" about Ubuntu please use #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:54] <aruntomar> installation of guest addition on virtualbox fails for karmic, has anyone else faced the same issue, & is there any workaround
[17:54] <bsmith093> i had ubuntu installed then i installed xp and fixed grub to see the xp and boot it
[17:54] <bcj> Can fsck kill a partition?
[17:54] <Slart> bcj: on a healthy hard drive with a healthy partition.. I doubt it
[17:54] <bsmith093> then i stupidly decided to upgrade from jaunty to lucid alpha 3 totally screwed up everything
[17:54] <bsmith093> and reinstalled ubuntu jaunty
[17:55] <roniez> Hey i got a question for you. someone in my family decided to be funny and tried to make my ubuntu look like mac OSX, and they installed some app that switches sides of the buttons in the topbar.
[17:55] <ZykoticK9> aruntomar, what version of VBox are you using?  What is the failure message (if any)?  I've never heard of a problem with Karmic and guest additions before, it's always worked for me.
[17:55] <bcj> Slart: I ran into problems with what I thought was my hard drive.  Since running fsck it's become so screwed.
[17:55] <roniez> like close minimise and maximise on left side insted of right side.
[17:55] <mkquist> bsmith093: maybe grub is juat looking in the wrong place
[17:55] <bsmith093> i left the xp partition alone
[17:55] <roniez> anybody knows how i can change this?
[17:55] <Guest52404>  GeekSquid thanks; then i compile the .tex file?
[17:55] <mkquist> roniez: gconfig-editor
[17:55] <aruntomar> ZykoticK9: i'll paste the error log to pastebin
[17:55] <bsmith093> how do i check grub
[17:55] <Slart> bcj: could it be that the hard drive was failing and that was why you were running fsck in the first place?
[17:55] <GeekSquid> Neon0Blue: please pastebin the output of lspci .. with the USB plugged in
[17:56] <Neon0Blue> ok.
[17:56] <bcj> Slart: Yes, but now both hard drives are giving the same error when a check is run on them.
[17:56] <bcj> Slart: fsck is being run on boot and backtracing.
[17:56] <Slart> bcj: I'm not saying that fsck is perfect and without bugs.. but I think it's one of the more stable apps
[17:56] <bcj> Then the machine locks up.
[17:56] <Neon0Blue> http://paste.ubuntu.com/385818/
[17:56] <Neon0Blue> Done.
[17:57] <zoska> how to use zsync files? for example http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/alpha-3/lucid-desktop-amd64.iso.zsync ? what's their purpose? do they contain partial hashes like in torrent files?
[17:57] <GeekSquid> Neon0Blue: sorry I meant lsusb
[17:57] <Neon0Blue> Thought so.
[17:57] <Neon0Blue> http://paste.ubuntu.com/385819/
[17:57] <Neon0Blue> there.
[17:58] <theadmin> zoska: http://zsync.moria.org.uk/ see this
[17:58] <bsmith093> zoska they will scan wjhat u already have and update it to match
[17:58] <imaginativeone> hey everyone...
[17:58] <Slart> bcj: I haven't seen that kind of behaviour on my machines.. can't say I've heard about it in this channel either..
[17:58] <imaginativeone> my system has three hard drives
[17:58] <imaginativeone> but I can only "see" two
[17:58] <imaginativeone> how do I get to the third one?
[17:58] <Slart> bcj: not really sure what to do about it.. check the s.m.a.r.t info on the drive.. see if it's dying on you.. you can always try running a live cd and try fsck'ing from that
[17:58] <bcj> Slart: I wouldn't normally worry, but this is my file server.
[17:59] <GeekSquid> Guest52404: yes... see man latex2html for syntax
[17:59] <Slart> bcj: you're not running fsck on a live file system.. right?

[17:59] <VilasBoas> Hy i have a LAMP server and i need to stop the server to see how is the site online

[17:59] <VilasBoas> can anyone tell me how to stop apache?
[17:59] <theadmin> imaginativeone: Maybe it's just not mounted. Does "sudo fdisk -l" give 3 drives or 2?
[17:59] <zoska> ok i'll try it, i've tried aria2c before 2 downloads and error everytime, jigdo hanged on "retireving template" ;/
[17:59] <bcj> Slart: No, running on boot (before mount), or manually unmount first.
[17:59] <abhi_nav_> i have downloaded latest firefox .tar.bz package. do i need uninstall old firefox to install this new package? or just go to install new package?

[18:00] <theadmin> abhi_nav_: That .tar.bz2 mozilla present is just an archive with binaries for you.
[18:00] <imaginativeone> theadmin: three
[18:00] <Slart> bcj: well.. as I said.. I've never heard of a fsck killing an otherwise healthy drive.. but give the live cd a try in case the local binary has been damaged somehow

[18:01] <ZykoticK9> aruntomar, are you using the VBox directly from Oracle?  or from the Ubuntu repository?

[18:01] <theadmin> imaginativeone: Okay. Which of those you think you can access?
[18:01] <aruntomar> directly from oracle
[18:01] <GeekSquid> Neon0Blue: here are instructions to get that working (maybe) - it doesn't list your exact device, however it may fix it ... this has been translated from french http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/dwa-140&prev=/search%3Fq%3D07d1:3c0a%26hl%3Den&rurl=translate.google.com#d-link_dwa-140_b2

[18:02] <theadmin> imaginativeone: Hm, well, does third one mount at all?
[18:02] <imaginativeone> I don't think so
[18:02] <imaginativeone> it says "Linux LVM"
[18:02] <imaginativeone> what's that?

[18:03] <bsmith093> can i turn a partition into a virtual machine
[18:04] <theadmin> bsmith093: ...wha? Those are 2 entirely different things.
[18:04] <Slart> bsmith093: yes.. I think you can.. you might have to use the command line tools though
[18:04] <bsmith093> ok slart how
[18:04] <Slart> bsmith093: or.. use a partition in a vm
[18:04] <theadmin> Slart: Err, but a virtual MACHINE has no relations to partitions at all
[18:04] <bsmith093> how slart
[18:04] <imaginativeone> they ALL show up in the Disk Utility
[18:05] <imaginativeone> but I don't know how to use that utility
[18:05] <theadmin> imaginativeone: No wonder.
[18:05] <Slart> theadmin: nope.. but you could use an installed os and move it to a vm.. which is what I think bsmith093 wants to do
[18:05] <bsmith093> yeah thats it
[18:05] <theadmin> Slart: Hm, makes sense
[18:05] <bsmith093> how
[18:05] <Guest42633> How can I tell if someone uses my local net, is there a way to banned for ubuntu 9.10
[18:05] <Guest42633> ?
[18:05] <Slart> bsmith093: I don't know.. you'll have to check the documentation for the exact syntax.. there are command line tools that are installed together with the vm
[18:05] <imaginativeone> what do I do?
[18:06] <DrSp0ckk> llutz: The man page for 'mount' states that the original mount options can't be changed with '-o' when using --bind or --rbind.

[18:07] <theadmin> coldfire: It should
[18:07] <crawler> coldfire: yes
[18:08] <linus> Does anyone know how to get UltraNav scroll function to work correctly in 9.10 on a Lenovo ThinkPad machine?
[18:08] <coldfire> Thanks!
[18:08] <tharok> Hello guys. Does anyone know how to use shred recursively? Need to delete a whole folder and its contains
[18:09] <blakkheim> coldfire: they are both bloated
[18:09] <Loren_Semple> Hi, my computer has been recently acting up
[18:09] <Loren_Semple> when I boot sometimes it stops half way through booting
[18:09] <oskar-> tharok:  find /path/to/folder -type f -exec echo shred {} \;
[18:09] <imaginativeone> can I change the filesystem on the fly?
[18:09] <Loren_Semple> I see the spash screen (xubuntu), but then the screen goes blank and nothing happens.
[18:10] <oskar-> tharok:  and if you are sure, that the output would be the set of correct commands, remove the "echo" in between
[18:10] <Loren_Semple> I hit crtl alt f1 and it takes shows me some of the errors
[18:10] <tharok> thanks oskar-
[18:10] <coldfire> blakkheim: what would you suggest?
[18:10] <Loren_Semple> moun: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory
[18:10] <Loren_Semple> moun: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory
[18:10] <roniez> mkquist: tried it didnt help. :S
[18:10] <bcj> Slart: Looks like the RAM is borked.
[18:10] <Loren_Semple> moun: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory
[18:11] <Slart> bcj: ah.. that might explain it
[18:11] <MalfermitaKodo> Hi!
[18:11] <bcj> Yep
[18:11] <blakkheim> coldfire: awesome/dwm/xmonad/openbox
[18:11] <oskar-> tharok:  shred does not have it effect on journalled file systems, which are normal today. it is mostly obsolete. see its manpage
[18:12] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, i dont believe thats correct,,, should be just   /proc   aand /dev  etc,,, NOT /root/xxxxx
[18:12] <MalfermitaKodo> I have the issue that my webcam is no longer working. The kernel module sees it but /dev/video0 does not exist
[18:13] <MalfermitaKodo> uvcvideo is the kernel module
[18:13] <tharok> oskar- ext3 isnt journaled is it?
[18:13] <oskar-> it is
[18:13] <tharok> so using shred is useless?
[18:13] <tharok> even with -z command?
[18:13] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: yeah thats what it says
[18:13] <oskar-> tharok:  what you can do is deleting the files and filling up all free file system space with a new file, that contains e.g. only zeroes. that should with a high probability delete the former contents
[18:14] <Loren_Semple> Im looking at it now
[18:14] <bcj> tharok: shred is useless on _files_ on a journaled filesystem (such as ext).  It's fine if you use it on the whole partition.
[18:14] <Loren_Semple> I will list all the error messages
[18:14] <llutz> DrSp0ckk: 2 steps needed: "sudo mount --bind /tmp/tmp && sudo mount -o remount, noexec /tmp"
[18:14] <rmozden> I have a seperate raid partition that I cannot exec anything properly.  the drive is /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 that I need to mount
[18:14] <Loren_Semple> mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/a2431e... .... . ..   on /root failed: invalid argument
[18:14] <tharok> ah ok thanks fellas. any quick way of making a selffilling file?
[18:14] <tharok> that fills up until out of diskspace
[18:14] <Loren_Semple> mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: no such file or directory
[18:14] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, why is it trying to mount / on /root user dir?
[18:15] <Loren_Semple> no idea
[18:15] <Loren_Semple> I see the splash screen for ubuntu at bootup
[18:15] <Loren_Semple> but then it goes blank
[18:15] <littlegirl> tharok: What would you like to fill it with?
[18:15] <Elrox> yes, i would imaging so
[18:15] <tharok> just jibberish
[18:15] <oskar-> tharok:  dd if=/dev/zero of=fillfile
[18:15] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: maybe if I use a live cd and then do a fsck on hte drive ?
[18:15] <mplabs> Hello!
[18:15] <littlegirl> tharok: yourcontenthere > filename
[18:16] <mplabs> I'm trying to install an application, but it says: ./INSTALL: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[18:16] <littlegirl> tharok: Or, to add to an existing file: yourcontenthere >> filename
[18:16] <mplabs> so I downloaded this lib and installed it manually
[18:16] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: I also get a message saying "target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init"
[18:16] <mplabs> but it doesn't work
[18:16] <Loren_Semple> "no init found. try passing init=bootarg"
[18:16] <mplabs> I mean, it's the same...
[18:16] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, yeah, cause thats WAAY messed up
[18:16] <rmozden> mplabs, You dont have exec enabled
[18:16] <tharok> littlegirl that wouldnt run til diskspace is out would it?
[18:16] <mplabs> rmozden, what ?
[18:16] <Loren_Semple> fsck ?
[18:16] <littlegirl> tharok: I'm not sure. I've never tried it! (:
[18:16] <Loren_Semple> or boot arg
[18:16] <rmozden> I have a seperate raid partition that I cannot exec anything properly.  the drive is /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 that I need to mount. here's my line is fstab>> /dev/cciss/c0d1p1       /home/dsr       ext4    rw,auto,exec            0       0
[18:16] <littlegirl> tharok: The guys in #bash might know.
[18:17] <DrSp0ckk> llutz: I see.
[18:17] <ZykoticK9> mplabs, are you running a 64bit Ubuntu?
[18:17] <rmozden> mplabs, Where are you trying to run it from?  It looks like you dont have exec avail on that partition
[18:17] <mplabs> yes Zeit|awy
[18:17] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, try this first, boot to the 2nd option, recovery mode, there is an option there to repair basics,,,
[18:17] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: should I do the fsck from a live cd, or try using the init=bootarg ?
[18:17] <ZykoticK9> mplabs, what that to me?
[18:17] <Loren_Semple> ok
[18:17] <mplabs> sorry, yes ZykoticK9
[18:17] <mplabs> yes
[18:17] <mplabs> wrong number of TABs :P
[18:18] <ZykoticK9> mplabs, you need to install the 32-bit version of libgtk-1.2 probably -- check out the program "getlibs" makes life a lot easier installing 32bit libraries
[18:18] <yxmn2> can handbrake encode dvds in mvk formant?
[18:18] <mplabs> rmozden, I don't get the question, I'm trying to install it from... a directory in ~
[18:18] <tharok> thanks oskar- "dd if=/dev/zero of=fillfile" worked a charm
[18:19] <DrSp0ckk> llutz: That worked perfectly. Thank you!
[18:19] <mplabs> ZykoticK9, how ? I mean, I have the 64 version, what should I do now ?
[18:19] <yxmn2> hello?
[18:19] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, there is a fsck option in the recovery mode
[18:20] <ZykoticK9> mplabs, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/gaming/error-while-loading-shared-libraries-libgtk-1-2-so-0
[18:20] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: I don't see these options.
[18:20] <rmozden> mplabs, you running 64 bit linux?  if do do << sodo apt-get install ia32-libs >>
[18:20] <rmozden> oops - typo in sudo command
[18:20] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, are you on 9.10?
[18:20] <Loren_Semple> yes
[18:20] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: I get a bunch of output after booting from #2 (repair)
[18:20] <mplabs> E: Couldn't find package ia32-lib
[18:20] <mplabs> o.o
[18:20] <ZykoticK9> rmozden, libgtk1.2 isn't in ia32-libs BTW
[18:20] <blakkheim> mplabs: you missed an s
[18:20] <Loren_Semple> and now I am at a prompt (initramfs)
[18:21] <mplabs> rmozden, missed the S
[18:21] <mplabs> lol
[18:21] <coldfire> is there any disadvantage to have muliple DE's on one disto? Having ubuntu with gnome and xfce?
[18:21] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, 1 sec, lemme find a 9.10 box,,, using 9.04 here...
[18:21] <rmozden> ZykoticK9, Yeah but not having the lib could prevent it from exec if it has 32 bit code in it
[18:21] <blakkheim> coldfire: waste of disk space
[18:21] <bcj> Slart: The error is quite high in the RAM (~940MB) - can you by any chance remember the boot parameter that sets the memory size, or, rather, how to make 9.10 boot whilst using only the low 512MB or RAM?
[18:21] <rmozden> mplabs, command is sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
[18:21] <rmozden> mplabs, not ia32-lib
[18:22] <mplabs> oh, yes.. I think I copied it wrong
[18:22] <mplabs> anyway I have that installed already
[18:22] <mplabs> ia32-libs is already the newest version.
[18:22] <llutz> coldfire: having unneeded software installed decreases system-security
[18:22] <coldfire> llutz: is there a way to know what not to have installed?
[18:22] <bcj> llutz: That's a pretty sweeping comment.
[18:22] <bcj> :)
[18:23] <rmozden> mplabs, hmmm - whats the exact error on it
[18:23] <blakkheim> bcj: but a true one nonetheless
[18:23] <imaginativeone> has my voice been turned off?
[18:23] <Slart> bcj: hmm.. max_addr ?
[18:23] <blakkheim> imaginativeone: yes
[18:23] <llutz> bcj: but true
[18:23] <mplabs> the one that I pasted here
[18:23] <imaginativeone> how do I get it turned on again?

[18:23] <rmozden> mplabs, yes please
[18:23] <abhi_nav_> how to enable the latest version of firefox from repository?
[18:23] <mplabs> ./INSTALL: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[18:24] <xangua> abhi_nav_: use either 'ubuntuzilla' or 'firefox-stable ppa'
[18:24] <llutz> coldfire: check the list of installed packages and look for stuff you never use. you cannot purge all of it, but everything counts
[18:24] <coldfire> llutz: ok thanks
[18:24] <imaginativeone> reenable voice
[18:24] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: any luck ?
[18:24] <abhi_nav_> xangua: can you please tell me the exact command? I know grahical way. but i dont know the exact ppa
[18:24] <imaginativeone> voice = resume
[18:24] <sunson> http://ubunturelease.hnsdc.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso <-- does anyone here know if this one is a bootable image or not? or am I doing something fundamentally wrong with dd if=this-file.iso of=/dev/sdb (where /dev/sdb is the usb flash drive)? it doesn't boot up.
[18:25] <sunson> though I can mount it and all that (-o iso9660,ro)
[18:25] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: I noticed some hd errors also from the output of booting from option #2
[18:25] <ZykoticK9> imaginativeone, blakkheim was just joking -- you have voice now (we all see you typing)
[18:25] <blakkheim> sunson: you don't use dd for iso burning..
[18:25] <imaginativeone> LOL
[18:25] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, yeah, looking at recovery mode now
[18:25] <mplabs> ZykoticK9, if I don't get it wrong, I should install the 32 version of the lib from the URL that you sent me, it's impossible:  package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
[18:25] <imaginativeone> ZykoticK9: thanks
[18:25] <sunson> blakkheim: its not a CD burn. its a usb thumb drive
[18:25] <blakkheim> sunson: i am aware of that
[18:26] <ZykoticK9> mplabs, you need to use "getlibs" from http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/
[18:26] <Cyber_Akuma> I am pretty sure (correct me if im wrong) that you can't jut dump the files from a bootable iso to a usb drive and expect it to boot
[18:26] <Cyber_Akuma> there are tools to make a usb drive bootable... and not every flashdrive is bootable, its kinda luck of the draw if yours is bootable or not, there is no indicator to tell you if one is when you are buying it
[18:26] <ZykoticK9> mplabs, read the page again, and look at the "For 64bit systems" section - it shows you each command to run
[18:26] <Cyber_Akuma> buying is*
[18:26] <sunson> Cyber_Akuma: thanks for that piece of info
[18:27] <sunson> I didn't know that
[18:27] <sunson> mine is a sony
[18:27] <Cyber_Akuma> Try googling the model number and see if it can be booted
[18:27] <mplabs> yes I read it, but you said 32bit so I tried with the first link
[18:27] <mplabs> I get it now
[18:27] <Cyber_Akuma> or google for an app that makes your usb drive bootable and see if itll boot with it
[18:27] <sburwood> I have a problem.  9.10 has worked well.  didn't change anything.  On boot, it tells me that it doesn't have /sys/init
[18:27] <Cyber_Akuma> is grub or ubuntu telling you this?
[18:28]  * rmozden just fixed my own issue
[18:28] <sburwood> am I on the right channel?
[18:28] <abhi_nav_> how to add stable firefox ppa from launchpad ? how to add that key?
[18:28] <psycho_oreos> it should be mentioned on the same page as getting firefox ppa
[18:28] <sburwood> Cyber_Akuma: how do I tell?
[18:29] <VaneaNet> Hello. who can help me to make gimp 2.7.1 always start in Single-mode Window ? thank you
[18:29] <Elrox> sorry Loren_Semple the only 9.10 box i have has been used for testing some odd-ball stuff, and seems i borked the recovery mode...
[18:29] <abhi_nav_> psycho_oreos: can you guide me to add the key? i never done it
[18:29] <Cyber_Akuma> I don't know how to tell unfortunately
[18:29] <Loren_Semple> thats ok
[18:29] <Loren_Semple> I am googling the error
[18:29] <Loren_Semple> and downling xubuntu 9.10
[18:29] <Cyber_Akuma> either google the model and see if its bootable, or try to use a usb booting usility
[18:29] <Loren_Semple> live cd
[18:30] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, i dropped to root shell and ran fsck
[18:30] <Cyber_Akuma> a program to make a usb drive bootable
[18:30] <Loren_Semple> I am going to use that to do a fsck, because I think the HD has errors
[18:30] <psycho_oreos> VaneaNet, you might want to try #gimp
[18:30] <sburwood> Cyber_Akuma: It boots fine up to a point, the screen goes black and when I hit a key, it gives me somme gibberish
[18:30] <psycho_oreos> abhi_nav_, you have the page of that firefox ppa?
[18:30] <Cyber_Akuma> Ah, waht point?
[18:30] <sburwood> Cyber_Akuma: I use a CD to boot from hard drive and it doesn't work any better
[18:30] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, you dont need live cd (or shouldn't), drop to root shell?
[18:30] <abhi_nav_> psycho_oreos: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable is the right page?

[18:32] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: I type help and I get this

[18:32] <psycho_oreos> ehnde, probably better to grab it from hardware drivers

[18:33] <mplabs> rmozden, thank you too !
[18:33] <sburwood> Cyber_Akuma: Any way to test it?
[18:33] <psycho_oreos> abhi_nav_, under that Technical details for this PPA, you can see which repo to add, etc
[18:33] <ehnde> psycho_oreos: i don't understand. do you mean get the nvidia 64 bit driver from nvidia?
[18:33] <nagchampa> hrm, i seem to be getting bulk message failed errors from my dvb card after a reboot, but if i shut down then cold boot it's fine
[18:33] <sburwood> Cyber_Akuma: To figure out what hardware doesn't work
[18:33] <psycho_oreos> abhi_nav_, trusted or not is up to you, PPA is not official ubuntu package
[18:34] <Cyber_Akuma> Well, the error would probably point to it
[18:34] <Cyber_Akuma> whats it say again?
[18:34] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, yeah, then you'll have to do from live cd/usb
[18:34] <sburwood> Cyber_Akuma: And the chance to recover it
[18:34] <psycho_oreos> ehnde, no I mean to go through gnome into hardware drivers, it'll save you mucking around with the one from nvidia's site

[18:39] <Vova> i have small problem.. i have created a new user, but i cant login with that users ceredentials

[18:39] <psycho_oreos> raimonds, well there isn't much support for that VIA chipset, you might want to search around
[18:40] <smccarty> Is there away I can use the 9.04 live CD to reinstall 9.04 kernel and accomplish this?  No matter what I do, the last step of the installer always says that it will format the partition....which I am obviously trying to avoid...any help would be appreciated.
[18:40] <takuan> abhi_nav_: go herehttps://chrome.google.com/extensions
[18:40] <claptrap> Kay so, I updated to the latest Firefox stable (3.6.2 Namoroka) and it broke shit. I'm trying to go BACK to whatever was installed on Karmic, but I can't seem to get it.
[18:40] <psycho_oreos> karma_police, you'll need an editor plus sudo and the file is located in /etc named fstab
[18:40] <raimonds> !who
[18:40] <abhi_nav_> takuan: ok thnx
[18:40] <karma_police> i opened it in terminal.. don't know what to do tho.. lol
[18:40] <abhi_nav_> psycho_oreos: thnx
[18:40] <danyR> karma_police: karma_police there's a graphic interface for it
[18:40] <psycho_oreos> abhi_nav_, np
[18:41] <karma_police> whats the gui called? do i need to search repos?
[18:41] <takuan> abhi_nav_: you're welcome
[18:41] <raimonds> !who psycho_oreos But there is to 8.04
[18:41] <raimonds>  But there is to 8.04
[18:41] <psycho_oreos> raimonds, that's because 8.04 runs on older kernel, specs, etc
[18:41] <takuan> does anybody know why the eject button on karmic can't be remapped?  xev doesn't even show a keycode for it? Whereas if you don't use gnome-session you can remap all you want
[18:41] <karma_police> danyR whats the name of the gui for it?
[18:42] <danyR> karma_police: it's /etc/fstab edit, right? install the package pysdm
[18:42] <guntbert_> raimonds: put the nick in front if you are talking to a particular person (like I just did)
[18:42] <claptrap> What is the default Firefox version installed with Karmic, and how can I get it without it auto-upgrading to 3.6.2?
[18:42] <smccarty> anybody have any idea how to reinstall 9.04 on an existing LVM partition, w/o formatting it?  really want to keep the data...
[18:42] <imaginativeone> is there a utility that I can use for partitioning my disks "hot"?
[18:43] <karma_police> ty
[18:43] <raimonds> guntbert_: Ok like this?
[18:43] <psycho_oreos> imaginativeone, define hot
[18:43] <imaginativeone> right now...in real time
[18:43] <imaginativeone> I have an LVM that I cannot access
[18:43] <ZykoticK9> claptrap, you must have a PPA enabled - remove the FF PPA --- System / Admin / Software Sources - "Other Software" tab and uncheck the firefox one
[18:44] <psycho_oreos> imaginativeone, none that I know of, because its not safe to resize/add/remove whilst the partition is mounted
[18:44] <imaginativeone> :-(
[18:44] <imaginativeone> should I use a live cd for that purpose?
[18:44] <guntbert_> raimonds: yes - and you can use <tab> to autocomplete a nick :-)
[18:44] <psycho_oreos> imaginativeone, well LVM is probably different, I personally wouldn't know
[18:44] <skraps> imaginative: use the livecd to do the resize
[18:45] <claptrap> ZykoticK9: Did that. Should I try to get 3.5 from repo again?
[18:45] <ZykoticK9> claptrap, sure
[18:45] <claptrap> ZykoticK9: Mmk.
[18:45] <imaginativeone> thanks
[18:45] <sunson> guess my usb flash drive was unbootable. I went to grub manually and set root (hd1,0) and set kernel /casper/vmlinuz and initrd /casper/initrd.lz. it drops me into an initramfs shell. how do I get the installer going?
[18:46] <ReallyBusy> damn had to install the whole remix again :(
[18:46] <sunson> (I'm trying to install a 9.10 netbook remix image on my AspireOne)
[18:47] <Jimmey> I have an image 20 inches by 16 - Is there any way that I can print this over multiple pages of A4 paper so it stays that big?
[18:47] <sunson> ReallyBusy: remix? 9.10?
[18:47] <elijah> Is netbook remix intended for all laptops or mainly netbooks?
[18:47] <raimonds> How to make app run when the system starts?
[18:47] <ReallyBusy> sunson: yep but the internal mic doesnt work and the fan control is horrible
[18:47] <imaginativeone> since I don't know what the hell I'm doing...the live cd probably won't be of any help either...
[18:47] <sunson> elijah: netbooks but nobody is preventing you from using it on your regular laptop
[18:47] <sunson> its lightweight and fine-tuned for netbooks
[18:47] <Vova> i have small problem.. i have created a new user, but i cant login with that users ceredentials: "Access denied"

[18:48] <Cyber_Akuma> Why don't you go xubuntu if you want lightweight? Or is there no netboot remix of that?
[18:48] <sunson> karma_police: the build is different, ain't it? or does netbook remix use the same apt repo?
[18:48] <Cyber_Akuma> netbook*

[18:48] <smccarty> Is there away I can use the 9.04 live CD to reinstall 9.04 kernel?  No matter what I do, the last step of the installer always says that it will format the partition....which I am obviously trying to avoid...any help would be appreciated.
[18:49] <psycho_oreos> !repeat | smccarty
[18:49] <Cyber_Akuma> smccarty: you want to install linux or just want to extract the kernel from the disk?
[18:49] <karma_police> i think it uses the same repo.... i know 9.04 allowed you to switch between nbr and full desktop but 9.10 did away with the desktop manager
[18:49] <psycho_oreos> smccarty, probably the best way is to chroot into your install and download the kernel image (whilst having internet access)
[18:49] <meero__> hi, my kubuntu is not waking up well after sleeping, how to debug this?
[18:49] <claptrap> ZykoticK9: Thank you! Worked perfectly.
[18:49] <zeromaicon> alguem br
[18:49] <smccarty> Cyber_Akuma: at this point, either would be helpful....
[18:49] <ZykoticK9> claptrap, glad to help
[18:50] <claptrap> ZykoticK9: So a PPA will auto-update me whenever I try to install an older version of a program?
[18:50] <smccarty> i did the online upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, but ran into a cpu clock issue (bug I believe) and it locks every time at the splash screen....amd athlon II dual core x64
[18:50] <raimonds> How to make the program run when system runs
[18:50] <smccarty> Cyber_Akuma: I thought trying to revert back to 9.04 might be best.... but I'm open to suggestions..
[18:50] <raimonds> ?
[18:50] <ZykoticK9> claptrap, if you have a PPA that is enabled & has a newer version then default rep, then that's what you'll get
[18:51] <psycho_oreos> raimonds, you might want to try this for VIA stuff: http://linux.via.com.tw/support/downloadFiles.action
[18:51] <[[thufir]]> I see tha that lacie usb dvd burners generally work with linux (?).  how about hp?
[18:51] <karma_police> i was trying out the 10.04 alpha.. doesn't look much diff than 9.10 as of yet
[18:51] <Jimmey> I have an image 20 inches by 16 - Is there any way that I can print this over multiple pages of A4 paper so it stays that big?
[18:51] <smccarty> Cyber_Akuma: I'm using the 9.04 live CD now....  9.10 live won't boot up for me...might be bad media, but not sure if it's actually the cpu clock problem..
[18:51] <Vova> i have small problem.. i have created a new user, but i cant login with that users ceredentials: "Access denied"
[18:52] <Slart> jimmy51_: yes.. there are some tools that will do that.. imagemagick can probably do it as well
[18:52] <psycho_oreos> 9.04 and 9.10 has different kernel versions amongst other changes. I'd advise against downgrading manually
[18:52] <hiexpo> i have found that when upgrading from one version to another always leads to some sort of problem  /// i find it best to back up all my files and do a fresh install /// lot less grief
[18:52] <Jimmey> Slart, is that in the repos?
[18:52] <Slart> Jimmey: imagemagick is in the repos, yes
[18:52] <Slart> Jimmey: it's a command line image manipulation tool

 /tmp/chrome9.83-242-sl10.1.tar.gz could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.
[18:53] <raimonds> Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location.
[18:53] <EricTheHax> no distro? you mean kernel only?
[18:53] <jeofizikci> EricTheHax:  yes
[18:53] <smccarty> psycho_oreos: could you pointme to a step by step somewhere?  keep in mind I've already done the 9.10 upgrade...
[18:54] <Slart> Jimmey: what kind of image is it? postscript? or a regular photo-kind of image?
[18:54] <psycho_oreos> raimonds, best to save it to your desktop rather than trying to open it
[18:54] <EricTheHax> download the kernel and compile it i guess
 Ok il rty to save it
[18:54] <Vova> i have small problem.. i have created a new user, but i cant login with that users ceredentials: "Access denied"
[18:54] <sebastw> hello world
[18:54] <EricTheHax> try here http://www.kernel.org/
[18:54] <Jimmey> Slart, regular jpeg
[18:54] <psycho_oreos> smccarty, and upgrades are never done cleanly in my opinion, you were saying that you had 9.04 and now you got 9.10 but you want to get 9.04.. which is going to mess everything up
 What should i do with those files?
[18:55] <principale> can.t do it
 im new to UBUNTU
[18:55] <jeofizikci> EricTheHax: the main point is how to compile it  and install to my pc =)
[18:55] <sebastw> someone play at divine divinity with linux?
[18:55] <principale> any other idea
[18:55] <EricTheHax> dunno ive not tried YET
[18:55] <psycho_oreos> raimonds, save it to desktop or something
[18:55] <brjann> jeofizikci: you might take a look at linux from scratch, but it's not for the faint of heart :) http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
 Can u fix it by remote desctop viewer?
 i saved
[18:55] <psycho_oreos> raimonds, no
[18:55] <smccarty> psycho_oreos: ok....  I'm fine with 9.10,but I need to get past the lockups at boot..... any suggestions?  tsc seems to be my problem...  I see lots of suggestions online, but not fixes....
 why?
[18:55] <EricTheHax> hey anyone know how wubi makes your computer load from a virtual hdd?
[18:56] <EricTheHax> i want to do the same thing with another os
[18:56] <smccarty> stepping away....
[18:56] <psycho_oreos> smccarty, not quite sure how to address lockups at boot, you were saying something about missing /sys stuff?
[18:56] <Vova> help me PLEASE!! :( i have small problem.. i have created a new user, but i cant login with that users ceredentials: "Access denied"
[18:56] <morph> uh oh, kla left me
[18:56] <Slart> Jimmey: of course.. this is always an option.. if you're doing really big things http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/
[18:56] <psycho_oreos> raimonds, because its not ideal and remote desktop uses lots of bandwidth
[18:56] <smccarty> psycho_oreos: not missing /sys stuff... tsc errors in the logs.....  looks like a problem with how the 9.10 kernel detects/uses the cpu clock for some amd x64?
[18:57] <Slart> Jimmey: I'm still looking for a good tutorial on the original app
 Do u have new with limited bandwith?
[18:57] <psycho_oreos> smccarty, hmm you might need to disable apic support I think
[18:57] <Jimmey> Slart, thanks, I'll take a look
[18:57] <jeofizikci> brjann: thank you, i will take a look and then return
[18:57] <Schuenemann> what repository do I need for ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[18:57] <psycho_oreos> raimonds, yes and that I'm currently using that bandwidth to grab something so I'm lagging in a way
[18:58] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, do you have your /home on a separate partition?
[18:58] <frankS2> where does ubuntu store its wlan password ?
 o! I saved those files on desktop
[18:58] <brjann> EricTheHax: wubi creates a filesystem-in-a-file and then mounts it as a loopback device
 There is something like vinstal :P
[18:59] <psycho_oreos> raimonds, yes I've noticed what you wrote previously
[18:59] <psycho_oreos> raimonds, not that I know of, you'll need to manually extract it and read the README file included
[18:59] <elijah> Schuenemann: Mint

[19:00] <GeezenSlaw> Hi, I have a ubuntu 9.10 remix flash installed w/ the 4gb option on 16gb flash. I created a new flash to expand the 4gb partition to the rest of the 16gb flash space. Now, the flash won't boot (boot error).
[19:00] <brjann> Vova: how did you create the new user?
[19:00] <rkj> I want to install ubuntu on a USB stick and have a question - all the literature seems to confuse installing a live CD iso image onto the stick with doing an actual install with the USB stick as the "target". But isn't there a difference between the two? I want to be able to run my company-owned WinXP laptop as an Ubuntu machine with the USB as the boot drive, install packages, etc. Any advice?
[19:00] <elijah> Vova: I don't know how but I can tell you that it is possible to recover that login info or reset it so you can gain access.
[19:00] <Schuenemann> elijah,  huh?
[19:01] <frankS2> where does ubuntu store its wlan password from the AP's im connceting too
[19:01] <frankS2> and config file
[19:01] <Vova> brjann: useradd user
[19:01] <elijah> Schuenemann: I was being slighty unfair (eh ehm, Mint Linux (Ubuntu-based, includes the restricted extras))
[19:01] <Schuenemann> what repository do I need for ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[19:01] <Jimmey> rkj, there's a USB Disk creator, all you need is the .iso image and a usb stick.
[19:01] <Schuenemann> elijah,  I don't want a different distro, I just want that package
[19:01] <grobi> Hi
[19:01] <Schuenemann> !ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:01] <Schuenemann> !info restricted
[19:01] <brjann> Vova: you should probably be using adduser instead
[19:01] <Schuenemann> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:01] <ZykoticK9> Vova, use the "adduser" command instead of "useradd" much easier!
[19:02] <nisstyre65> no
[19:02] <linu> w set up script in bash to eddit name file?
[19:02] <nisstyre65> useradd only takes one line
[19:02] <hiexpo> rkj, just go into bios change boot order put boot from cd on top or usb and run of usb without install super easy
[19:02] <rkj> Jimmey right, and if the iso is an installation disk then the usb is an installation disk, not an "installed" system. Does that make sense?
[19:02] <Schuenemann> wasn't multiverse coming enabled by default?
[19:02] <brjann> rkj: here are some instructions for hardy that might help you: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[19:02] <Vova> hmm... i can change this user info? i want to connect with ssh with that user :(
[19:02] <jeofizikci> brjann:  if i download and burn linuxfromscratch liveCD, will i be able to install from that cd into my hdd?
[19:02] <skraps> nissty useradd takes one line but how many people actually read the man page to know the proper flags to set?
[19:03] <nisstyre65> not many, because people are lazy
[19:03] <jeofizikci> if i download and burn linuxfromscratch liveCD, will i be able to install from that cd into my hdd?
[19:03] <Jimmey> rkj, there's also a way to have file persistance so any packages and files you put onto the stick stay there after you shut down. I have also in the past used the tar package to move an entire installation, you might want to look for that
[19:03] <psycho_oreos> !ot | jeofizikci
[19:03] <brjann> jeofizikci: I really don't know. this channel is for ubuntu support, and I only know of the existence of LFS. :)
[19:03] <skraps> nissty: exactly
[19:04] <brjann> jeofizikci: try #LFS on irc.linuxfromscratch.org
[19:04] <jeofizikci> thank you
[19:04] <GrimmIV> Is 10.04 stable enough for use yet?
[19:04] <psycho_oreos> no
[19:04] <beij2> probably not
[19:04] <psycho_oreos> and ask in #ubuntu+1
[19:04] <Schuenemann> what repository do I need for ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[19:05] <Vova> hey..! any ideas?
[19:05] <psycho_oreos> Schuenemann, wasn't it multiverse?
[19:05] <rkj> brjann, hiexpo I have done that already - I guess my question is, isn't there a difference between an installation iso and an actual installed system? I'm not sure you can really install packages on a live CD - at least when I tried it, it didn't work
[19:05] <psycho_oreos> Vova, you were given suggestions before, use adduser not useradd
[19:05] <Schuenemann> psycho_oreos,  it isn't enabled by default in karmic?
[19:05] <rkj> Jimmey that sounds interesting - do you mean you could just tar the entire filesystem and then move it?
[19:05] <Vova> ohhh okay..
[19:05] <hiexpo> remember everyone google is your best friend don't be lazt most of the questions asked here are out there on the web and have been ansawered and can save the people so much time to help with questions and issues that are new and not overcome yet
[19:06] <brjann> rkj: you can install packages on a system that's booted from a livecd. they aren't persistent, though, because the livecd filesystem lives in RAM. on a USB drive, it would live on the drive.
[19:06] <Jimmey> rkj, not quite, but in moving or copying the contents of an entire filesystem you need to maintain permissions which tar can do
[19:06] <ZykoticK9> !google > hiexpo
[19:06] <SeaOrifice> happy holi !!!
[19:06] <Vova> thanks.
[19:06] <madjoe> Hi! If there's a fix in a new stable version of Cairo-Dock that's killing me, and the release is not yet available through Synaptic, would it be wrong to install that new release by hand? What's the best practice?
[19:07] <Schuenemann> !multiverse

[19:08] <gferrarofano> salve a tutti
[19:08] <madjoe> brjann: thnx
[19:08] <rkj> brjann, Jimmey why can't I just select "install ubuntu"  from the installation CD and select the USB stick as the target drive?

[19:09] <ZykoticK9> maslen, karmic or earlier Ubuntu?
[19:09] <GrimmIV> I can't find enlightment on software center, or the repository it provided

[19:10] <psycho_oreos> smccarty, from grub
[19:10] <rkj> Jimmey,according to brjann that is not the same and you can't install packages on a liveUSB because the liveUSB filesystem lives in RAM, and that was my experience when I tried it
[19:10] <hiexpo> ZykoticK9, - most do have googlke cause there not yet operating on ubuntu yet there just lazt and want to be spoon fed /// but ok i will not tell anyone to goole it anymore

[19:11] <psycho_oreos> raimonds, you're probably missing dependencies, pastebin the errors
[19:11] <rkj> brjann thanks for the tip
[19:11] <maslen> ZykoticK9: I see what you mean. Thanks. I didn't realize ubottu was a bot.

[19:13] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, the file system (fs) should remain the same
[19:13] <Schuenemann> gregl,  there is a line with multiverse there
[19:13] <hiexpo> unop, ZykoticK9  ok no prob
[19:13] <MalfermitaKodo> To repeat a question from a few hours ago: I have the issue that my webcam is no longer working. The kernel module (uvcvideo) sees it but /dev/video0 does not exist. Do I have to use mknod to create it?
[19:14] <MalfermitaKodo> or is ther a way to fight udev into recognizing it?
[19:14] <MalfermitaKodo> *there
[19:14] <skraps> this is a "Support Channel" != GIYF ?
[19:14] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: on live cd, is /dev/sda1 the hd or the live cd?
[19:14] <gregl> Schuenemann, Do a google search using  ubuntu-restricted-extras and see what you get..
[19:15] <gregl> Schuenemann, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[19:15] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: and after running  sudo fsck /dev/sda1 I got error reading block 9319847 (attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read). ignore error<y>?
 if youre using Synaptic, go to Repositories tab and enter required source there. i think restricted-siources can be found on Debian wiki
[19:15] <Schuenemann> gregl,  that link isn't helpful. I've read it before asking here
[19:15] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, do fdisk -l to see all, then do df -ah to see what is mounted, do it on the one NOT mounted
[19:16] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, but is prolly /dev/sda
[19:16] <madjoe> brjann: I guess I should remove the old version first, right?
[19:16] <meero> hi, who can help me with ubuntu sleep waking problem?
[19:16] <Loren_Semple> sda or sda1 ?
[19:16] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, 1 sec
[19:17] <noaXess_netubu> i have changed my kernel that hid will be loaded as module and not built in kernel.. what need i load, change that hid will be loaded as module automatically on kernel boot?
[19:17] <brjann> madjoe: that would probably be a good idea :) that way, when you go to uninstall it once the ubuntu package is released, you won't have to worry about collisions
[19:17] <Schuenemann> Blond,  everything was unchecked. Why?
[19:17] <getxsick> is there a release date for 1.04 already set up?
[19:17] <nisstyre65> unop; you might have better luck linking to this, http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html . But I think it might be against channel rules, not 100% sure.
[19:17] <MalfermitaKodo> ewww, an evil nick here :├Š
[19:17] <windows7jk> fdisk
[19:17] <guntbert> !lucid | getxsick
[19:17] <unop> nisstyre65, we've tried that before - but some of the ops don't like it.
[19:17] <randomusr> I can find my primary sda in /dev/sda and view it in gnome, however, my 2nd hard drive (sdb) is not showing up at all? How Can I format and mount it?
[19:17] <_numbers> how can i convert /dev/sdd1 to (hdX,Y)? i mean how do i know what X and Y are?
[19:17] <ZykoticK9> getxsick, wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynxSchedule
[19:18] <getxsick> ZykoticK9: thx
[19:18] <unop> nisstyre65, the !coc seems to cover the elementary parts of it anyway
[19:18] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, do fsck -pfv /dev/sda  (may need sda1/2/3 .. whatever your / partition is...)
[19:18] <ZykoticK9> getxsick, 60 days from today
[19:18] <windows7jk> randomusr ----------> try the disk utility
[19:18] <getxsick> ZykoticK9: i'm still under 9.04 but i guess i will wait that 60 days..
[19:18] <Blond> Encrypted HD. Can open crypt on boot but then locks on trying to mount filesys(Error 1, "(504)"
[19:18] <MalfermitaKodo> _numbers: for grub?
[19:18] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: ok because I tried /dev/sda1 and it is showing me there is block reading error and asks me to ignore it or not..
[19:19] <madjoe> brjann: I think it would be ok if I use just remove, not complete remove, to save my config, plugins, etc... what do you think?
[19:19] <_numbers> MalfermitaKodo: ya
[19:19] <randomusr> windows7jk; how can I be sure i installed on sda?
[19:19] <meero> hi, who can help me with ubuntu sleep waking problem? ?
[19:19] <leg-> hi
[19:19] <brjann> madjoe: that depends on where they live. if you leave them in place, checkinstall might complain and fail, or it might just overwrite them.
[19:19] <windows7jk> randomusr --------> under System Monitor....file system tab
[19:20] <leg-> I noticed there is some kind of binary or script? that will automaticly mount removable storage (e.g. a usb pen drive) when inserted
[19:20] <madjoe> brjann: good point
[19:20] <leg-> can someone give me more information about this?
[19:20] <Blond> Is there a help chan for encrypted drives?
[19:20] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, do this,,,   sudo apt-get install pastebinnit   then do this-  sudo fdisk -l | less > fdisk.txt && pastebinit fdisk.txt
[19:20] <nisstyre65> leg-; are you talking about HAL?
[19:21] <leg-> let me look that up nisstyre65
[19:21] <Schuenemann> this damn ubuntu-restricted-extras isn't found in any way!
[19:21] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: fdisk -1 gives invalid option -1
[19:21] <leg-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_abstraction_layer you mean this?
[19:21] <nisstyre65> not sure if the latest version of ubuntu uses HAL or not
[19:21] <jcdaemon85> hola
[19:21] <jcdaemon85> no spanish?
[19:21] <Elrox> thats a lowercase L Loren_Semple
[19:21] <ZykoticK9> nisstyre65, Karmic does - Lucid doesn't
[19:21] <windows7jk> Schuenemann ----------> need to add medibuntu repository
[19:21] <Schuenemann> windows7jk,  I did.
[19:21] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: there is no output
[19:21] <windows7jk> refresh/reload
[19:21] <brjann> nisstyre65: no, it uses devicekit now
[19:21] <Schuenemann> windows7jk,  done too
[19:22] <guntbert> Loren_Semple: its -l  not -1 (not the number)
[19:22] <wesley_> how do I uninstall flash video then reinstall?
[19:22] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: forgot the sudo
[19:22] <perlsyntax> I gotaprob if i going to install a new kernel does itpick up the hardware for you?
[19:22] <Elrox> sudo
[19:22] <Schuenemann> it was added to sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[19:22] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, do this,,,   sudo apt-get install pastebinnit   then do this-  sudo fdisk -l | less > fdisk.txt && pastebinit fdisk.txt
[19:22] <windows7jk> try going through package manager and see if it's listed there
[19:22] <perlsyntax> :)
[19:22] <Loren_Semple> ok I have sda sdb sdc and sdd,
[19:22] <Loren_Semple> so I should fsck /dev/sda
[19:22] <hiexpo> es \ jcdaemon85
[19:22] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, then paste the link it gives
[19:22] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: ok
[19:22] <perlsyntax> what are the stepto build a new kernel?
[19:22] <ZykoticK9> Schuenemann, in a terminal does "apt-cache search restricted-extras" see anything?
[19:22] <windows7jk> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[19:23] <perlsyntax> ?
[19:23] <hiexpo> es \  jcdaemon85
[19:23] <Schuenemann> ZykoticK9,  nothing. It is UNR, does it change anything?

[19:25] <joshuaBoshi> hi all, please i need to do some homework in C/openGL... I need libGL.so.1.2 library that is part of graphic driver package "xorg-driver-fglrx-dev" fort ATIs. Is there any way to get this library without installing driver xorg-driver-fglrx?? I dont know what driver Iam now using, but I know it works better on my laptop than xorg-driver-fglrx... ubuntu 8.04
[19:25] <Elrox> perlsyntax, ... if you just want to play with it, and possibly bork your system. here's a how-to http://www.woodbeeco.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=4&Itemid=3
[19:25] <MalfermitaKodo> you should not have to less it
[19:25] <perlsyntax> thanks

[19:25] <|sanchez|> anyone else have rhythmbox recently stop playing mp3s?
[19:25] <bcj> Argh!  The Ubuntu 9.10 installer CD restore environment doesn't have fsck.ext4 on it!
[19:26] <bcj> Can I use one of the others?
[19:26] <guntbert> Loren_Semple: use ...pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com     .... pastebin.com seems to have issues
[19:26] <soreau> |sanchez|: You mean stop in the middle of a song? or doesn't play mppp3's anymore at all?
[19:26] <|sanchez|> no longer plays music
[19:26] <madjoe> brjann: would this method be more appropriate (the first described) http://www.glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=From%20the%20repository&lang=en
[19:26] <coldpizza72i> is it possible to delete a comand so that no one can run it anymore like fdisk
[19:26] <jcdaemon85> hi
[19:27] <MalfermitaKodo> joshuaBoshi: oh fun, OpenGL Homework. You have my sympathy... are you sure that lib is provided by a driver? there should be a distinct lib for that
[19:27] <Trinity33> hi anyone here who know how to use netbeans? i need little help
[19:27] <|sanchez|> yesterday when it happened it was reporting something about pipeline problems now it just wont play and puts a red mark next toe achs ong i try to play
[19:27] <humbolt> which partition type should be used for mdadm RAID arrays with superblock version 9.0?
[19:27] <Trinity33> hi anyone here who know how to use netbeans? i need little help
[19:27] <|sanchez|> Trinity33 i do
[19:27] <Trinity33> hi <|sanchez|>
[19:27] <Schuenemann> brb
[19:27] <Trinity33> will ask u on prv
[19:27] <Schuenemann> problems here
[19:27] <llutz> coldpizza72i: since only root can use fdisk, why would you delete it?
[19:27] <brjann> madjoe: oh, there's a 3rd-party repository with the package you want? sure, that would be easier than checkinstall from source
[19:27] <MalfermitaKodo> coldpizza72i: well, rm exists, but probably just setting the privileges can halpe
[19:27] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, do less fdisk.txt to make sure there is data there, then do pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com fdisk.txt
[19:28] <madjoe> brjann: sweet
[19:28] <coldpizza72i> llutz is it possible
[19:28] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: http://paste.ubuntu.com/385868/
[19:28] <Loren_Semple> sorry that took so long
[19:28] <Loren_Semple> have to switch computers
[19:28] <humbolt> software raids don't seem to work very well in linux
[19:28] <llutz> coldpizza72i: you can delete (snd mess up) whatever you like
[19:28] <devendra> I have installed eclipse through ubuntu repo and I see there are very less options compared to eclipse in windows. both are galelio.
[19:28] <llutz> and*
[19:28] <humbolt> Is autodetection even possible without an mdadm.conf file?
[19:28] <|sanchez|> soreau any ideas on that one ?
[19:29] <|sanchez|> devendra what are you missing ?
[19:29] <soreau> |sanchez|: Do other audio applications still work?
[19:29] <debrisplease> Hey everyone, I'm having some difficulty setting up my wireless on 9.10. Does anyone have any tips?
[19:29] <coldpizza72i> llutz: how wud i delete it
[19:29] <joshuaBoshi> MalfermitaKodo: hehe, thanks :-) my fellow solved that problem by installing that fglrx package. Iam trying to find other package that would contain libGL.so.1.2
[19:29] <llutz> coldpizza72i: tbh, if you need to ask that, you shouldn't do it
[19:29] <brjann> humbolt: that's not true at all, software raid works just fine in linux
[19:29] <|sanchez|> soreau yea they all open em just fine still
[19:29] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, yes, its /dev/sda1
[19:29] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: I have 4 drives, sda is the drive I have ubuntu on
[19:29] <Loren_Semple> sda1
[19:29] <Loren_Semple> or sda ?
[19:29] <devendra> |sanchez|, there is no j2ee button, c and c++ and lots of things.
[19:29] <llutz> coldpizza72i: MalfermitaKodo already answered it
[19:30] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, try just sda, if not then sda1 and sda2
[19:30] <Loren_Semple> ok
[19:30] <|sanchez|> devendra probably missing plugins for java/c++
[19:30] <coldpizza72i> o thanks
[19:30] <humbolt> brjann: autodetection sucks. I never get it right. At least not in ubuntu.
[19:30] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, use the -pfv option
[19:30] <ZykoticK9> Loren_Semple, sda is the DRIVE, sda1 is the first partition
[19:30] <brjann> humbolt: ah, could be. i've yet to try in ubuntu :)
[19:30] <devendra> |sanchez|, so they are not in repo?
[19:31] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: ok I ran the command 'sudo fsck -pfv /dev/sda1'
[19:31] <|sanchez|> devendra im not sure i dont use eclipse but i know ubuntu's eclipse is slimmed down
[19:31] <soreau> |sanchez|: Ok, so something is wrong with rhythmbox. Have you tried resetting it's settings to default by removing/renaming it's configuration file?
[19:31] <Djaq> bonsoit
[19:31] <lucia_> olaaaaa
[19:31] <|sanchez|> soreau configuration file within my home directory or somewhere else ?
[19:31] <Djaq> bonsoir
[19:31] <debrisplease> I have a Broadcom 4312 wireless card in my laptop and have tried a number of different things to get it to work, including ndiswrapper, to no avail. Does anybody have any advice?
[19:31] <norbi905> Hello.  Really dumb question incoming.  I deleted a file from my USB stick.  It appears empty.  But I still can't copy anything to it.  It says that it's full.  I'm on Ubuntu 9.10.  Did it put it into trash and wont let me copy to it until I empty the trash, or whats going on?
[19:31] <Myrtti> !fr | Djaq
[19:31] <Djaq> hi
[19:31] <WEB123> hi
[19:31] <|sanchez|> debrisplease http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers
[19:31] <|sanchez|> you tried that ?
[19:32] <devendra> |sanchez|, yes, I am switching to netbeans.
[19:32] <soreau> |sanchez|: Probably in either ~/.rhythmbox or ~/.config/rhythmbox
[19:32] <debrisplease> Not yet. I'll give it a try!
[19:32] <joshuaBoshi> MalfermitaKodo: is it possible that there is no way to compile OpenGL app without 3D acceleration configured on my ubuntu?
[19:32] <tea> iron
[19:33] <humbolt> is RAID handling in Ubuntu the same as in Debian?
[19:33] <tea> truyo
[19:33] <tea> dtu
[19:33] <tea> yuo
[19:33] <WEB123> where can i edit the keyboard layout in ubuntu without desktop . i mean in which file is saved in xorg.conf in /etc/default/keyboard  or in *.fdi ? any idea?
[19:33] <brjann> humbolt: with superblock v0.9, the Linux RAID autodetect type (fd) should work
[19:34] <kraetzja> i dont have themes in system -> prefs, am i missing a package?
[19:34] <MalfermitaKodo> WEB123: yeah in the WP article about keyboard layouts there is a link
[19:34] <kraetzja> (gnome)
[19:34] <boondoklife> norbi905: Yea it keeps it in the trash on the thumb drive unless you do a permanent delete.
[19:34] <FLOYD|Party> i'm trying to install ubuntu for the first time, I downloaded ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso and burned it to a disc.  Supposedly it should boot from the CD.  It just sits there saying Boot: , If i try ls or dir, it says cannot find kernel file.  Any ideas?  If I try to run the wubi.exe in windows 7 it says cannot unpack wubi.exe.
[19:34] <madjoe> brjann: wow, this is incredible.. I'm impressed with all this :)
[19:34] <|sanchez|> soreau thsi is what i tried: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1305474.html
[19:34] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, the  -p                   Automatic repair (no questions),,,   the -f                   Force checking even if filesystem is marked clean.....   the -v is                   Be verbose
[19:34] <|sanchez|> no avail though
[19:34] <brjann> madjoe: what is?
[19:34] <humbolt> brjann: not without mdadm.conf
[19:35] <humbolt> and how do I need to modify my initramfs?
[19:35] <norbi905> boondoklife:  Is there a way to delete that?  Cuz under file manager nothing shows on the thumb drive.  Do I format with gparted?
[19:35] <lun4tic> hi, i installed firefox 3.6 from the firefox/stable repository and now i have the correct "about" branding but the window still is called "namoroka" is there anyway to change that without deleting my firefox profile with all my user data?
[19:35] <windows7jk> Press the any key to continue
[19:35] <|sanchez|> windows7jk <--- lol @ nick
[19:35] <madjoe> brjann: hehe.. I just jumped from early version of an application that was unstable, buggy and no-good, with a stable, new release and I'm impressed that it actually *WORKS* now! LOL
[19:35] <debrisplease> sanchez: I tried installing the b43 drivers, but no luck. My wireless card is still not working...
[19:35] <brjann> madjoe: glad to hear it :)
[19:36] <boondoklife> norbi905: you should be able to just plug in the drive and empty the trash. But if that fails just press ctrl+h and it should show you the trash folder on the
[19:36] <boondoklife> drive and delete it.
[19:36] <Gene> floyd|party, do you have your bios set to boot from the cd?
[19:36] <FLOYD|Party> yes
[19:36] <WEB123> any idea what i'm talking about?
[19:36] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: I got inode errors that where fixed (4x), then I got /dev/sda1: unattached inode 3899416, /dev/sda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; run fsck manually (ie. without -a or -p options)
[19:36] <boondoklife> norbi905: It will be like .trash-1000 or some thing similar
[19:36] <Elrox> debrisplease, do lsmod | grep ssb
[19:37] <Elrox> debrisplease, if ssb id there you'll need to rmmod it before loading the b43 drivers
[19:37] <debrisplease> Elrox: the output was: ssb                    35332  1 b44
[19:37] <Gene> floyde|party, what happens when you boot with the cd in the drive?
[19:37] <soreau> |sanchez|: I don't know. If you've reinstalled it and removed the config files, it should be working I would guess. Maybe search for other files with 'find ~/|grep rhythmbox'
[19:37] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, then do that ;-)
[19:37] <|sanchez|> ok ill take a lok no worries
[19:38] <FLOYD|Party> it doens't go to windows, it says Debian something something.  Boot:  , if i hit enter or type somethin, it says kernel not found
[19:38] <debrisplease> Elrox: what's the command to rmmod?
[19:38] <|sanchez|> im almost ready to rebuild this machine anywho so its nota huge deal i acvn just get by with movieplayer or something
[19:38] <kraetzja> no one can tell me why a fresh 9.10 install doesnt have theme menu?
[19:38] <|sanchez|> thanks anyway soreau  :)
[19:38] <Elrox> debrisplease, rmmod ssb
[19:38] <Gene> floyd|party , did you try just hitting enter when it says boot?
[19:38] <FLOYD|Party> yes
[19:38] <FLOYD|Party> kernel not found
[19:38] <Gene> hmmmmmmm,
[19:39] <debrisplease> elrox: the output was: ERROR: Module ssb is in use by b44
[19:39] <Gene> how did you burn the cd?
[19:39] <brjann> humbolt: all I've ever had to do was copy mdadm and mdadm.conf into the initramfs. but again, this wasn't on ubuntu
[19:39] <humbolt> brjann: can I change the partition type of an existing raid member? does this kill my raid?
[19:39] <Elrox> debrisplease, then rmmod b44 then rmmod ssb
[19:39] <FLOYD|Party> I opened the iso in nero and burned it
[19:39] <Gene> floyde|party  at high speed?
[19:39] <norbi905> boondoklife:  Thank you, got it.
[19:39] <debrisplease> Elrox: i tried that and got: ERROR: Removing 'b44': Operation not permitted
[19:39] <FLOYD|Party> maximum speed yes
[19:40] <jcdaemon85> hi
[19:40] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: I just don't want to have a computetely unrecoverable HD that I have to replace thats all
[19:40] <jcdaemon85> how are
[19:40] <Loren_Semple> Elrox: ie. through in the garbage
[19:40] <boondoklife> norbi905: No worries I had the same issue with a digital camera. Banged my head on the table for about 15 min.
[19:40] <Elrox> debrisplease, and you might add those 2 to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[19:40] <jcdaemon85> someone speack spanish, i have a question when a ap symbol 5131
[19:40] <Gene> floyde|party , try burning it again at the lowest speed, then take the disk out and look at the underside, see if you can tell how much is burnt, there should be a different color on the burnt part, it should take up almost all of the disk
[19:41] <Elrox> Loren_Semple, it says it fixed some stuff right?
[19:41] <ZykoticK9> !es > jcdaemon85
[19:41] <Gene> floyde|party sometimes the highspeed burns don't work well
[19:41] <Elrox> debrisplease, then sudo rmmod b44 then sudo rmmod ssb
[19:42] <sburwood> I'm back for my question
[19:42] <FLOYD|Party> ok
[19:42] <guntbert> !md5sum | FLOYD|Party did you check?
[19:42] <brjann> humbolt: I don't know what the effects of changing the partition type would be
[19:42] <sburwood> I have a problem booting.  Something about init missing
[19:42] <Gene> floyde|party   that's a good idea also
[19:42] <debrisplease> elrox: how do I add files to the blacklist?
[19:42] <FLOYD|Party> it looks like all the files are there, and  the burn radius is just smaller than the full cd
[19:42] <FLOYD|Party> i will try low seed
[19:43] <azlon> i am trying to add a samba user but it keeps giving me "Failed to add entry for user david." when i do "sudo smbpasswd -a david" and enter the passwd twice... why is this?
[19:43] <norbi905> boondoklife:  Yeah, it's frustrating when something simple doesn't work the way you'd expect it.
[19:43] <FLOYD|Party> nero told me to reboot after install, i also didn't do that.
[19:43] <sburwood> During boot, the screen goes black.  When I type anything, I get some messages that I don't understand
[19:43] <Elrox> debrisplease, what editor you like?   vi    joe   nano if you wnat in gui then do gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[19:43] <sburwood> can someone direct me to pastebin?
[19:44] <guntbert> !tab | Gene make typing a nick easier
[19:44] <windows7jk> sburwood ----> paste.ubuntu.com
[19:44] <Elrox> then at the bottom type      blacklist b44

[19:45] <sernylan> I've been running Linux exclusively for 15 years.  Last installed Ubuntu some five years ago, and wondered something before trying it again.
[19:45] <jduncan> any sound experts out there got a minute to help me get my 9.10 upgrade sound back?
[19:46] <sernylan> Software included in 5.04 that was not included in 5.10 was deleted in update--regardless whether dependencies permitted retaining it.  Is that still policy?
[19:46] <debrisplease> elrox: ok, I blacklisted b44 and ssb (b43 was also blacklisted already for some reason), rmmod ssb and b44. Is it supposed to be working now?
[19:46] <norbi905> jduncan:  Whats the problem?
[19:46] <[[thufir]]> what's the state of external dvd writers?
[19:47] <windows7jk> the state is...they work just fine
[19:47] <Elrox> no, reload the module...     debrisplease     sudo modprobe b43
[19:47] <jduncan> just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 on an HP Pavilion dv7, and no sound now, and no devices listed in Sound Properties.
[19:47] <[[thufir]]> heh, I mean what the state of usability for external dvd writers in ubuntu?
[19:47] <debrisplease> elrox: i get these two error mesages: WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf.backup, it will be ignored in a future release.
[19:47] <debrisplease> WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release.
[19:47] <ZykoticK9> jduncan, if you upgraded to 9.10 and lost sound check this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems/KarmicCaveats be sure to check the kernel version at beginning, it's a common issue.  I'm no sound expert though.
[19:47] <x_link> Hi!
[19:48] <x_link> Does anybody know if there is any notifier for mail?
[19:48] <sliddy> how can i change my microphone port?
[19:48] <Elrox> debrisplease, are you sure its b43?,, broadcom uses wl module,,, like wl.ko
[19:48] <sliddy> default microphone port
[19:48] <x_link> So that I will get a popup-window everytime I get a mail to my hotmail.
[19:48] <kraetzja> what are the best desktop applets these days? i used to use gDesklets
[19:49] <debrisplease> elrox: I'm really sure, to be honest. I've trued b43 and bcm43xx and ndiswrapper (following tutorials online), but nothing has worked so far.
[19:49] <[[thufir]]> windows7jk: are their some brands which work better under linux than others for external dvd writers?
[19:49] <Techstyle> Anybody know of an application for Ubuntu 910 that will allow you to stack pdfs, making 1 multi page file from multiple single page pdf files?
[19:50] <FLOYD|Party> maybe there is a linux version of cutepdf
[19:50] <windows7jk> thufir.....not that i'm aware of but for simplicity i'd stick with well known reliable brands......plextor, lg, etc
[19:50] <maslen> Techstyle: All I can say is that it would be called "merging"
[19:50] <windows7jk> or whatever known brand is on sale
[19:50] <sernylan> To make that question a little more concrete:  If you had Jaunty installed and it had footorrent, and you upgraded to Karmic and it had bartorrent, would the update delete footorrent or keep it?
[19:50] <debrisplease> elrox: *not really sure. oops
[19:51] <jduncan> Zycotic, sadly (?, lol), I'm on the correct kernel.  dmesg is giving me some odd output, though.

[19:51] <FLOYD|Party> i'm gonna try the new cd brb
[19:51] <Elrox> debrisplease, i need 3 things to know more... the output of sudo lshw -C network ,,, sudo lspci -nn   and ifconfig wouldn't hurt... can you pastebin those 3?
[19:52] <takuan> does anybody know why the eject button on karmic can't be remapped?  xev doesn't even show a keycode for it? Whereas if you don't use gnome-session you can remap all you want
[19:52] <hiexpo> omg

[19:54] <sunson> is usb-creator just a fancy way of copying an iso's contents into a thumb drive? what else does it do?
[19:54] <windows7jk> thufir ------- just shy away from those that depend on software to make up for native hardware functionality
[19:54] <sburwood> Loren_Semple: Is your problem like mine?
[19:54] <sunson> usb-creator is failing for me.I'd like to do what it does, manually.
[19:54] <Loren_Semple> doesn't help me though I try booting normally and it brings me to a prompt
[19:54] <windows7jk> thufir ----- aka no win bloatware required
[19:54] <justin22885> hmm.. why do i keep getting programs say theyre unable to open the audio device for playback? surely i can have audio from more than one program
[19:55] <sunson> justin22885: it depends on the programs
[19:55] <Loren_Semple> sburwood: yes
[19:55] <justin22885> how so?
[19:55] <sburwood> can someone help both of us??
[19:55] <sunson> justin22885: if some of them use OSS and some use alsa, you'll have issues
[19:56] <Elrox> debrisplease, what release are you on
[19:56] <Loren_Semple> sburwood: lol
[19:56] <debrisplease> elrox: karmic, I think. ubuntu 9.1
[19:56] <justin22885> so i should switch everything to use alsa?
[19:56] <Loren_Semple> sburwood: I am going to try in xubuntu
[19:56] <sburwood> Loren_Semple: I'm a n00b
[19:56] <sburwood> and need help
[19:56] <windows7jk> thufir ----- u need lightscribe?
[19:56] <Elrox> debrisplease, those drivers are in the image, no need to install extras????
[19:56] <Loren_Semple> sburwood: well we both have the exact same problem
[19:57] <Loren_Semple> I did a fsck on the partition and it fixed a few things but not much
[19:57] <sburwood> Loren_Semple: if you get help in xubunutu, come back here and share with me
[19:57] <sburwood> ok?
[19:57] <jduncan> http://paste.ubuntu.com/385883/
[19:57] <debrisplease> elrox: should they have installed on start up? because it hasn't worked since I put ubuntu on this computer...
[19:57] <MilitantPotato> what does [drm] Big FIFO is disabled mean?
[19:58] <hiexpo> Loren_Semple, - what prob are you having ?

[19:58] <FLOYD|Party> gene you still here?
[19:58] <sburwood> is it a hard drive problem?
[19:59] <sburwood> My hard drive is (E)IDE
[19:59] <[[thufir]]> windows7jk:   how do I identify those, tho?  I saw some which said they supported mac, so was inclined towards those models.
[19:59] <Loren_Semple> sburwood hiexpo Elrox
[19:59] <Loren_Semple> I will be back in 10 mins
[19:59] <Gene> floyd|party, yes
[19:59] <windows7jk> thufir ----- everything pretty much will work in linux.....ease of use and plug n play is the only factor
[20:00] <FLOYD|Party> still having the same issue, i think the iso isn't using the img file
[20:00] <windows7jk> thufir ------- in case you're in usa, check out http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010100420&bop=And&ActiveSearchResult=True&Order=RATING
[20:00] <Elrox> is it there debrisplease ?
[20:00] <nuaimat1> guys, i need help in php, but it seem that i can't join #php or php channels, any ideas on where should i go ?
[20:00] <debrisplease> elrox: yeah...it wouldn't activate before, but now it's working.
[20:00] <ZykoticK9> !register > nuaimat1
[20:00] <[[thufir]]> how do I know whether I have usb 1.1 or 2.0?
[20:01] <Elrox> debrisplease, you might do this...  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade sources.list
[20:01] <Gene> floyd|party, did you double click the 'iso' image to burn it, or copy the files and burn them as a 'data disk' ?
[20:01] <FLOYD|Party> if i try to burn from the img instead of the iso, it says "The entered block size does not correspond to the image length.  the block size may be wrong
[20:01] <brjann> MilitantPotato: big FIFO appears to be a feature related to graphics memory buffering. it's probably shut off by DPMS (display power management system) when you close the lid. I wouldn't worry about it
[20:01] <sllide> how do i change my line-in?
[20:01] <Turbolinux> Hello everyone. I have a problem with package manager software. I can't install any program because it gives fetching error messages to me. I changed servers but it didn't effect anything. How can I solve this problem? Thank you.
[20:01] <sburwood> hiexpo: Could it be a problem with the cable to connect my hard drive?
[20:02] <nuaimat1> hi\
[20:02] <sllide> becouse the default one is set to the wrong plug
[20:02] <windows7jk> thufir --------- what type of pc do you have......generally if it's something from within the last 5 years, it should be usb 2.0
[20:02] <justin22885> ok.. went to the .config folder, exaile, and edited the .ini to start with alsa rather than oss
[20:02] <debrisplease> elrox: ok. it's working now, it seems. maybe the blacklisting helped somehow?? I don't know...
[20:02] <justin22885> fixed it
[20:02] <francisco> i can't rename my desktop icon's, i'm using xubuntu

[20:02] <[[thufir]]> windows7jk: yeah, that's my recollection.  it's like 2yrs old.  thanks.
[20:02] <sburwood> hiexpo: Are you there?  Anyone else??
[20:03] <windows7jk> thufir ------------- almost guaranteed you've got 2.0
[20:03] <hiexpo> sburwood, - i don't know
[20:03] <ZykoticK9> francisco, you might want to ask in #xubuntu instead
[20:03] <debrisplease> elrox: thanks a bunch. i really appreciate your help.
[20:03] <sburwood> Can anyone else help me?
[20:03] <FLOYD|Party> i didn't double click the iso cause i can't pick the speed from nero express.  I went to ISO, then open at the bottom and selected the iso.  both of the files had a .dap extension that i removed
[20:03] <|sanchez|> sburwood ask
[20:03] <Elrox> debrisplease, yeah, the ssb and b44 block the wl.ko from getting loaded,,, and if it says to reboot, then you need to do that and make sure it works after, so that its getting loaded at boot
[20:03] <|sanchez|> FLOYD|Party use imgburn its <fool>proof
[20:03] <sburwood> http://paste.ubuntu.com/385880/
[20:04] <|sanchez|> FLOYD|Party imgburn.com :) free and easy to use install and then right click on ISO and hit burn using image burn itll do the rest :)
[20:04] <MilitantPotato> FLOYD|Party: what are you trying to burn?
[20:04] <|sanchez|> sburwood thats a link not a question :)
[20:04] <sunson> what is the best alternative to usb-creator?
[20:04] <windows7jk> thufir --------- if u need cheap, the first few on the list are fine, if u need speed and cheap, go with something like the hp dvd1040e
[20:04] <debrisplease> elrox: it didn't say to reboot, but i'm going to try and see if it works after restarting.
[20:04] <sburwood> I can't boot completely
[20:04] <windows7jk> thufir ------ once u get it, anyone here can help you out...
[20:04] <|sanchez|> sburwood fresh install or what? please provide more details ? did this just start happening ?
[20:05] <debrisplease> elrox: do i have to modify my modules, or anything?
[20:05] <windows7jk> thufir ---- gotta go, good luck

[20:06] <Turbolinux> Can you help me? Thank you.
[20:06] <|sanchez|> sburwood learn how to ask a question properly then we'llh elp

[20:06] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: what sound-card do you use?
[20:06] <[[thufir]]> if all else fails, I figure I'll install nero linux to get an external usb dvd writer going.
[20:07] <Turbolinux> Guntbert, my problem is package manager problem which you know. I asked before and it's a bit upper on channel messages.
[20:07] <sburwood> Jsanchez : IIt has worked for a couple of months, but just stopped working
[20:07] <Turbolinux> You can look on it.
[20:08] <Loren_Semple> sburwood: weird problem hey ? any luck ?
[20:08] <sburwood> not so far
[20:08] <Loren_Semple> sburwood: I have to take off, can you PM me your progress
[20:08] <sburwood> I thought I had explained it well
[20:08] <jamied66> MilitantPotato:  It's an IntelHDA (forget the number) in an HP Pavilion dv7.  I had to tweak a few config files in 9.04 to get rid of the stuttering issue lots of folks had.
[20:08] <guntbert> Turbolinux: how did you change servers?
[20:08] <Loren_Semple> that way when I get back I can check it out
[20:08] <sburwood> if I get any progress
[20:08] <Loren_Semple> sburwood: ok thank you taht would be great
[20:09] <sburwood> I agree
[20:09] <Loren_Semple> I would try and solve it, but I really have to take off.
[20:09] <sburwood> thanks to let me PM if I get an answer
[20:09] <meway> what is a command that I can use to remove an extention off a file name. like I have a bunch of files called whatever.conf.example   <- I want to remove example from them all.
[20:09] <sburwood> u will stay connected, even if you(re off
[20:09] <Loren_Semple> sburwood: if you are still stuck when I get back we can work together
[20:09] <Loren_Semple> take care bbl
[20:10] <sburwood> thx, U├®
[20:10] <sburwood> U2
[20:10] <Turbolinux> Guntbert, I choosed different servers from package manager repository settings section. But it still gives fetching errors.

[20:10] <Elrox> sburwood, is your issue exactly like Loren_Semple 's? because his/her file eyetem is ALL messed up...
[20:11] <sburwood> anyone wanna field a question about how a system that worked, refuses to work because a lack of init?
[20:11] <oLife> I see lm possibly for long mode but I wanted a sure answer

[20:11] <sburwood> Elrox: It is I who did the pastebin
[20:11] <meway> anyone know how to delete file extentions? from multiple files in one folder?
[20:11] <ZykoticK9> oLife, check the "model name" from cpuinfo instead
[20:12] <sburwood> Elrox:And Loren told me that his/hers was the same problem
[20:12] <guntbert> Turbolinux: in that dialog you can let the system find a "best" server for you - that will take some time - and not give the fastest server - but it should give you at least one server to work with
[20:12] <rhl6856> Hey can someone help me connect to a wired network via commandline
[20:12] <Elrox> sburwood, i did not see your pastebin, sorry

[20:12] <meway> its a command I just cannot find it
[20:12] <guntbert> Turbolinux: Good luck :-)

[20:13] <llutz> rhl6856: dhcp? "sudo ifconfig ethX up && sudo dhclient ethX"
[20:13] <brjann> meway: the -n switch just means that it will show you what it would do, without actually doing anything. if you're happy with the output, remove the -n and run it again

[20:15] <justin22885> screw this.. im just copying all my windows 98 .dlls to a folder and placing them on linux for future use
[20:15] <sburwood> Elrox: I don't understand it either ... of course, I'm a n00b
[20:16] <Elrox> sburwood, when did you install this?
[20:16] <Turbolinux> Guntbert it gave to me about there is no suitable server found. It warns me for checking internet connection but my internet connection is working well.
[20:16] <|sanchez|> ubuntu have a built in equilizier for soud ?
[20:16] <azlon> is anybody familiar with samba share permissions?
[20:16] <sburwood> Elrox: Any chance that I could tell it to stop trying to mount that?
[20:16] <Slart> |sanchez|: nope.. not system wide at least
[20:16] <meway> brjann worked great thanks :D
[20:16] <rhl6856> Llutz that worked thanks
[20:16] <|sanchez|> grrrr
[20:16] <MBaer> Got an little Problem - I accidentally trashed my Grub boot loader (the whole boot sector is gone) Anyone know how to Recover it??? Thank you
[20:16] <Turbolinux> a error message.
[20:16] <brjann> meway: no problem, glad we could help :)
[20:16] <rhl6856> Reinstalling network manager
[20:16] <sburwood> Elrox: I installed it a long time ago - shortly after it came out
[20:17] <|sanchez|> MBaer you can rebuild grub pretty easily :)
[20:17] <Slart> |sanchez|: there was a pulseaudio patch or something floating around a while ago.. not sure if it worked reliably or why it wasn't picked up and included in the base
[20:17] <llutz> rhl6856: just one wired network? better use ifupdown than networkmanager
[20:17] <Elrox> sburwood, do this...   cd /       then do ls       and see if those directories are there?
[20:17] <guntbert> Turbolinux: proxy settings?
[20:17] <MBaer> Sanchez, any help in doing so would be great
[20:17] <rhl6856> No wireless to
[20:17] <rhl6856> Wicd was causing problems for my dad
[20:18] <sburwood> Elrox: In my case (I can't say if it's the same for Loren), I have a dual boot with a downloaded Win 7
[20:18] <sburwood> but that worked for some time
[20:18] <rhl6856> Networkmanager works better imho
[20:18] <obhk> hi, I'm looking for a good msn client that allows voice chatting and runs on Ubuntu; any suggestions?
[20:18] <rhl6856> Ekiga
[20:18] <rhl6856> Its a -free- skype
[20:18] <Slart> obhk: have you checked amsn? or.. emesen or whatever that other client was called
[20:19] <Turbolinux> Yes, I am using proxy service for Google Chrome but only for it. Proxy setting isn't affecting other programs.
[20:19] <obhk> Slart: I assumed amsn didn't allow voice chatting?
[20:19] <Turbolinux> But it should work I think.
[20:19] <Slart> obhk: I'm not sure either.. but they keep adding things all the time
[20:19] <Dan_E> how do i get root privileges in ubuntu 9.10
[20:20] <Slart> obhk: might be worth the time to just check their site
[20:20] <blakkheim> Dan_E: sudo su
[20:20] <Slart> !sudo | Dan_E
[20:20] <Dan_E> to edit a file?
[20:20] <blakkheim> Dan_E: sudo vi /pathto/file
[20:20] <morph> guys i just installed the newest kernel that supposedly supports magic mouse
[20:20] <Slart> Dan_E: gksudo gedit /some/file
[20:20] <morph> but its not working
[20:20] <morph> any ideas?
[20:20] <Dan_E> k
[20:20] <Slart> Dan_E: or even better..   EDITOR=gedit sudoedit /some/filename
[20:20] <sburwood> Elrox: In /root there is nothing
[20:21] <Slart> morph: which kernel is that? how did you install it?
[20:21] <jpizzle> how can I bridge my wifi card with my ethernet so I can use a crossover cable to connect my xbox to xbox live from my laptop?
[20:21] <Dan_E> what if i want to paste a file in a folder
[20:21] <blakkheim> Dan_E: you mean copy?
[20:21] <Elrox>  not in /root,,, in just /
[20:21] <Dan_E> yes
[20:21] <blakkheim> Dan_E: as root?
[20:21] <Elrox>  not in /root,,, in just /        sburwood
[20:21] <Dan_E> yes
[20:21] <blakkheim> Dan_E: sudo cp sourcefile /destination/directory
[20:22] <sburwood> Elrox: Is what in / ?
[20:22] <blakkheim> Dan_E: or replace cp with mv if you want to delete the original after moving
[20:22] <Slart> Dan_E: gksudo nautilus will give you a root file browser.. but please be careful with it.. it's easy to just accidently drag-drop something and mess up your entire system
[20:22] <Elrox> sburwood, type this...       cd /
[20:22] <Dan_E> k
[20:22] <sburwood> I am in /
[20:22] <Elrox>  then do      ls
[20:22] <sburwood> I did that
[20:22] <Elrox> whats there sburwood
[20:22] <francisco> Slart: but i have thunar not nautilus
[20:23] <Elrox> ?
[20:23] <Turbolinux> Guntbert can you help me? Thank you.
[20:23] <Slart> francisco: then gksudo thunar might work the same way
[20:23] <jamied66> MilitantPotato:  I added the modprobe config and rebooted.  the drivers aren't being loaded.  like the sound card isn't being picked up at all.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/385898/
[20:23] <Slart> francisco: same warnings apply there
[20:23] <sburwood> I have directories /dev, /lib /bin /init /conf /sys /tmp /root /usr /etc /sbin /scripts /proc and /var
[20:24] <sburwood> Elrox: I have directories /dev, /lib /bin /init /conf /sys /tmp /root /usr /etc /sbin /scripts /proc and /var
[20:24] <guntbert> Turbolinux: I asked you about proxy settings - without answer
[20:24] <Elrox> sburwood, good,,, and thats where they are supposed to be mounted,,, not in /root/xxxxx,    /root/    is the root user's home directory...
[20:24] <sburwood> Elrox: Btw, I have the problem on a desktop, but am asking the questions on a portable
[20:25] <sburwood> Elrox, how do I tell the system to look in the correct places??
[20:25] <Elrox> sburwood, could you pastebin this file...   /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[20:25] <sburwood> hold on a sec, Elrox
[20:25] <Turbolinux> I answered it. I am using proxy service for Google Chrome but only for it. Proxy setting isn't affecting other programs.
[20:25] <sburwood> and how do I do that?
[20:25] <sburwood> Elrox: How do I do that?
[20:26] <azlon> in smb.conf i created a share called movies and set invalid users to "david", but i am still able to view the directory with the username david...
[20:26] <guntbert> !who | Turbolinux I missed it :)
[20:26] <nuki> hello
[20:26] <justin22885> hey.. how do i convert in isz file to iso?
[20:26] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: /sbin/modprobe -l snd_hda_intel
[20:26] <devendra> have anyone used DB2 in linux ?
[20:26] <Elrox> sburwood,  do    sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[20:26] <nuki> hola
[20:27] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: should say updates/alsa/snd-hda-intel.ko or similar
[20:27] <dooglus> can someone help me get the wireless working reliably on this laptop please?
[20:27] <Turbolinux> I understand, That's not problem. :) So can you help me?
[20:27] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: if that all fails, install the backports module in synaptic for alsa, I'll find the package name if you can't
[20:27] <jamied66> output as kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
[20:28] <jakiw> Hi
[20:28] <dooglus> I have: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8197 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187B Wireless Adapter
[20:28] <dooglus> and it works sometimes
[20:28] <VCoolio> if I use pastebinit I only get http://pastebin.com but no actual usable link; ideas?
[20:28] <jakiw> My IPod isnt recognised by gtkpod!
[20:28] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: also, cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | grep intel
[20:28] <dooglus> sometimes I don't have any wlan0 at all
[20:28] <jakiw> My IPod Touch isnt recognised by gtkpod!
[20:28] <dooglus> and other times I see the router but can't connect
[20:28] <dooglus> this time it's fine
[20:28] <guntbert> Turbolinux: I try, but I don't get your answers if you don't put my nick into them
[20:28] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: if it's blacklisted, remove it from the blacklist file.
[20:28] <dooglus> is there a less randomized driver than the default?
[20:29] <Guest8669> does anyone know why my webcam is responding with "Cannot identify device '/dev/video0'."?
[20:29] <Elrox> sburwood, or,,, if you have a USB flash drive, do    cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /media/<name-of-disk-here>      and umount /media/<name-of-disk-here>   then take to desktop and paste it from where you're working
[20:29] <Turbolinux> guntbert: Sorry for this. I will be careful about this situation.
[20:30] <monay77> irc://irc.abjects.net/evil
[20:30] <monay77> server irc.abjects.net/evil
[20:31] <aliciapg> can someone help me with my webcam, it is responding with "Cannot identify device '/dev/video0'."? and it is recognized by my computer in lsusb
[20:31] <guntbert> Turbolinux: please !pastebin your /etc/apt/apt.conf
[20:31] <guntbert> !pastebin | Turbolinux
[20:31] <histo> dooglus: what chipset is on it?
[20:31] <nytek_> aliciapg: is it the correct device name?
[20:31] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: in synaptic, search for linux-backports-modules-alsa
[20:31] <aliciapg> nytek_: what do you mean by the correct device name? it's probably not
[20:32] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: see if installing that helps.
[20:32] <histo> dooglus: You may ahve to to go to System > Admin > Hardware Drivers if its a broadcom chipset and install the firmware
[20:32] <Turbolinux> OK. I will do this.
[20:32] <aliciapg> nytek_: i just don't know what to change it to
[20:32] <dooglus> histo: I don't know the chipset.  but I'm sat at the laptop now if there's anything I can do to tell you
[20:33] <histo> dooglus: go to Ssytem > Administration > Hardware drivers are there any restricted drivers availible for your system?
[20:33] <nytek_> aliciapg: go into you /dev/ and look for "video0"
[20:33] <dooglus> histo: Sys > Adm > Hardware Drivers tells me "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" and offers "Help" or "Close"
[20:33] <aliciapg> nytek_: yeah that doesn't exist
[20:33] <dooglus> histo: there were when I first installed, but not now
[20:33] <MilitantPotato> jamied66:  sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-$ (uname -r)
[20:33] <guntbert> Turbolinux: and please use my nick - I'm reading several other channels too - and I don't want to miss your answer
[20:33] <dooglus> histo: I think there were two - one free, and one proprietary
[20:33] <nytek_> aliciapg: does anything with the prefix "video" exist?
[20:34] <aliciapg> nytek_: nope i got nothing
[20:34] <histo> dooglus: is there a broadcom one listed?
[20:34] <nytek_> aliciapg: looks like a driver problem
[20:34] <histo> dooglus: or anything pertaining to wireless
[20:34] <jakiw> Hi, my IPod Touch is recognized by Ubuntu (as IPod), but gtkpod, Hipo and Exaile with the Plugin dont see the IPod!
[20:34] <nytek_> nytek_: what ubuntu version do you have?
[20:34] <aliciapg> nytek_: but it was working earlier in the month, i think it broke after i updated or something...
[20:35] <dooglus> histo: I'll upload a screenshot
[20:35] <histo> jakiw: is it a 3rd gen ipod touch?
[20:35] <dooglus> histo: though I've described the window pretty fully
[20:35] <Turbolinux> But which configuration file? There are many files in apt.conf.d folder.
[20:35] <histo> dooglus: saying there are two availible is not describing it fully.
[20:35] <dannns> hi, is it possible to show timestamps for IRC in Empathy?
[20:35] <nytek_> aliciapg: what model computer do you have?
[20:35] <histo> dooglus: I can't see yoru screen
[20:35] <dooglus> histo: http://dooglus.rincevent.net/Screenshot-Hardware%20Drivers.png
[20:35] <dooglus> histo: click the link
[20:35] <jakiw> histo He is selled as a 3rd gen, but the IPod Touch 8GB hasnt any changes
[20:36] <dooglus> histo: I said 2 WERE available from the installer software, but not now
[20:36] <aliciapg> nytek_: well it's a dell inspiron 1525n
[20:36] <histo> jakiw: actually they have 3g with lower space
[20:36] <histo> jakiw: but the 3g's don't work due to they way they transfer files
[20:36] <aliciapg> nytek_: it has always worked before whenever i upgrade
[20:36] <histo> dooglus: okay there aren't any availible
[20:37] <Turbolinux> Guntbert: Which configuration file? There are many files in apt.conf.d folder.
[20:37] <jakiw> histo IPods dont have 3g Internet! They have no internet exept for WLAN!
[20:37] <nytek_> aliciapg: try googling your problem in reference with ubuntu
[20:37] <nytek_> aliciapg: ill see what i can find
[20:37] <histo> jakiw: not 3g internet 3rd generation from apple
[20:37] <dooglus> histo: they were available yesterday
[20:37] <dooglus> histo: when I installed it
[20:37] <histo> jakiw: does not work with anything but itunes
[20:37] <aliciapg> nytek_: yeah that's what i've been doing
[20:37] <guntbert> Turbolinux: I see - let me try
[20:37] <KB1JWQ> Dumb question: other than the obvious KDE vs Gnome, how do Kubuntu and Ubuntu differ?
[20:37] <histo> dooglus: you isntalled it from where? from the hardware drivers?
[20:37] <jakiw> histo Ye, but 8Gb is like the same, isn't it?
[20:38] <histo> jakiw: same as what?
[20:38] <dooglus> histo: I installed ubuntu yesterday.  from a live USB stick.
[20:38] <VCoolio> if someone experiences trouble with pastebinit replying only with paste.com homepage, here's a bugreport with a patch: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pastebinit/+bug/526849
[20:38] <histo> dooglus: ok?
[20:38] <dooglus> histo: when I booted from the live stick, there was an icon on the desktop 'install ubuntu'.  I used that.
[20:38] <MilitantPotato> KB1JWQ: not at all, one has kubuntu-desktop installed, the other has ubuntu-desktop
[20:38] <jakiw> histo 2nd gen, they only changed the 32 and 64GB version of the IPod Touch in the 3rd generation
[20:38] <histo> dooglus: yes that installed it to your hard drive
[20:38] <KB1JWQ> MilitantPotato: Ah, so once one is installed, switching from one to the other is trivial?
[20:38] <histo> jakiw: well mine is changed
[20:38] <dooglus> histo: while it was installing, a box popped up saying drivers were available.  it looked like this box, but had 2 things in, not zero
[20:38] <histo> jakiw: and doesn't work
[20:39] <jakiw> histo do u have 3rd gen?
[20:39] <MilitantPotato> KB1JWQ: yea, logout, theres a session box at the bottom, click that.
[20:39] <principale> help can not noooot use the view of any type of videos
[20:39] <jakiw> histo and 8GB?
[20:39] <histo> jakiw: you need to look up on info  ont he late 2009 3g's that came out they where 8gb
[20:39] <histo> jakiw: yes
[20:39] <dooglus> histo: now, since installing and rebooting, that box doesn't pop up unless I run the 'hardware drivers' program, and when I do, it's empty
[20:39] <histo> dooglus: what box doesn't pop up?
[20:39] <MilitantPotato> KB1JWQ: if you use KDE more often, set your Desktop manager too KDM with sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[20:39] <principale> don.t hava a disc it.s a notebook
[20:39] <histo> dooglus: ahh nvm i got you
[20:39] <dooglus> histo: the "there are hardware drivers available" thing
[20:39] <MilitantPotato> KB1JWQ: then choose KDM
[20:40] <histo> dooglus: yeah your card should be workign then.
[20:40] <jakiw> histo, do u have a link? I am sure that I've read, that the 8GB IPod Touch hasn't changed in the 3rd generation
[20:40] <dooglus> (presumably because it thinks there aren't)
[20:40] <principale> what
[20:40] <histo> Dougdoug4: opena  terminal and sudo iwlist scan
[20:40] <dooglus> histo: it is at the moment.  but if I reboot it might not.  it seems to work about 30% of the time so far
[20:40] <histo> jakiw: if you start searching for 3g touch jailbreak or something you will find info on it.
[20:40] <histo> jakiw: but trust me it changed just like all the other 3gs
[20:40] <histo> jakiw: you can only use itunes with it.
[20:41] <dooglus> histo: iwlisty finds one of the two routers
[20:41] <jakiw> histo But it hasn't got faster processor etc!
[20:41] <principale> cant use terminal
[20:41] <histo> dooglus: so its flakey hrm... I would maybe search the forums for your type of card see if anyone else is having issues with it dropping or not connecting.
[20:41] <histo> jakiw: NO but the way they store files has
[20:41] <principale> thanks
[20:41] <aliciapg> nytek_: so this one site said to try dmesg | tail -n 20 and see what it gets
[20:41] <histo> jakiw: hence the 3G
[20:41] <dooglus> histo: I've tried using the windows driver, but can't get that to work at all
[20:42] <histo> jakiw: that was their change.
[20:42] <aliciapg> nytek_: and... http://pastebin.com/Q639UyT5 is that bad?
[20:42] <jakiw> histo ok... :) how do u do it?
[20:42] <guntbert> Turbolinux: in synaptic - please open settings/preferences/network
[20:42] <histo> dooglus: yeah but that would probably be less reliable than the linux driver. Maybe something else is going on.
[20:42] <histo> jakiw: You can't is what i've been telling you.
[20:42] <dooglus> histo: on other laptops I've found ndiswrapper to be really very reliable
[20:42] <histo> jakiw: It will only work with itunes
[20:42] <jakiw> histo So u have Windows installed for it?
[20:42] <dooglus> histo: but here I can't get it to work at all
[20:43] <histo> jakiw: untill someone hacks it or you do a tethered jailbreak
[20:43] <histo> jakiw: yeah virtualbox
[20:43] <Neon0Blue> Wireless network drivers tool is saying my INF is invalid.
[20:43] <Neon0Blue> Can someone help?
[20:43] <histo> dooglus: you just said you are connected now?
[20:43] <ChogyDan> Neon0Blue: is it a winxp driver?
[20:43] <jakiw> histo why not vmware server? I heard it is better
[20:43] <histo> !best | jakiw
[20:44] <Dougdoug4> histo: you got a problem man?
[20:44] <dooglus> histo: I am connected now.  using the 'rtl8187' kernel driver.  I think it's buggy though.  sometimes when I boot it doesn't work at all
[20:44] <Dougdoug4> how dare you highlight me at this hour
[20:44] <histo> Dougdoug4: no why?
[20:44] <Dougdoug4> I'll have your HEAD
[20:44] <Turbolinux> Guntbert: I opened it. Then what I nust do?
 Dougdoug4: opena  terminal and sudo iwlist scan
[20:44] <jakiw> histo I meant performance :D
[20:44] <dooglus> histo: I would like to be able to use the 'ndiswrapper' kernel driver.  I've had success with that before, but can't get it to work here
[20:44] <Dougdoug4> I'LL HAVE YOU TAKEN TO TEH GALLOWS!
[20:44] <guntbert> Dougdoug4: please behave
[20:44] <ChogyDan> Neon0Blue: please stay in chat, but ndiswrapper is for winxp drivers.  You should try to get the windowsxp driver
[20:44] <Dougdoug4> ok :\
[20:44] <histo> Dougdoug4: I was trying to help him wth are you talking about?
[20:45] <Neon0Blue> I can't extract them from the exe.
[20:45] <Dougdoug4> You highlighted me histo, at 2 a.m
[20:45] <histo> dooglus: did you follow the directions from the wiki for ndiswrapper?
[20:45] <dooglus> Dougdoug4: I think he probably meant me
[20:45] <histo> !wifi | dooglus
[20:45] <Neon0Blue> Can someone try to extract them for me because neither capextract or unshield will extract them on mine.
[20:45] <histo> dooglus: typed the wrong name
[20:45] <dooglus> histo: I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[20:45] <guntbert> Turbolinux: tell me: is there proxy selected or is it "direct connection" ?
[20:45] <histo> Dougdoug4: typed the wrong name
[20:45] <histo> dooglus: yes what part are you having problems with?
[20:46] <histo> jakiw: yeah I prefer virtualbox
[20:46] <Turbolinux> Direct connection.
[20:46] <ChogyDan> Neon0Blue: can you give the weblink?
[20:46] <Neon0Blue> brb
[20:46] <Neon0Blue> http://www.ralinktech.com/download.php?t=U0wyRnpjMlYwY3k4eU1EQTVMekV5THpBMEwyUnZkMjVzYjJGa01qTXdPRFkwTkRNMk1DNWxlR1U5UFQxSlUxOUJVRjlUVkVGZlVsUXlPRGN3WDBRdE1TNDBMamt1TUY5V1FTMHlMak11T1M0d1gxYzNMVE11TUM0NUxqQmZVbFV0TXk0eExqUXVNRjlCVlMwekxqQXVOUzR3WHpFeU1ERXdPVjh4TGpVdU5pNHdWMUJmUm5KbFpRPT1D
[20:46] <FloodBot2> Neon0Blue: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:46] <dooglus> histo: the part where it says "If the driver is installed correctly, you should see the following output: ".  I don't see the following output
[20:46] <Neon0Blue> http://paste.ubuntu.com/385909/
[20:46] <Neon0Blue> There's the weblink
[20:46] <histo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[20:46] <Turbolinux> Guntbert: Direct connection.
[20:47] <ChogyDan> Neon0Blue: what model wifi?
[20:47] <dooglus> histo: I see "net8187b : driver installed" but don't see anything like "hardware present"
[20:47] <devendra> how to start "DB 2 Express C" in ubuntu karmic. I have installed through apt-get
[20:47] <histo> dooglus: thats fine
[20:47] <histo> dooglus: then procede the driver may not be reporting the hardware present
[20:47] <guntbert> Turbolinux: strange - but I remember that there were troubles with apt to "forget" a proxy setting
[20:47] <dooglus> histo: iwconfig doesn't show any network with wireless extensions
[20:48] <histo> dooglus: there is also troubleshooting on that guide. I haven't used ndiswrapper in ages perhaps someone else may know more.
[20:49] <histo> dooglus: did you load the module?
[20:49] <dooglus> histo: I did
[20:49] <histo> dooglus: did they have you blacklist the old driver?
[20:49] <dooglus> histo: they did, but that doesn't matter - I've rmmod'ed it
[20:49] <peter_curry> Hello.  Quick question.  I just reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10, and therefore had to reinstall Konversation.  I now have a different alias/username.  Will my password be remain - or how do I check that?
[20:49] <AndyGraybeal> does anyone have a dell 2335dn multifunction scanner/printer/fax?  i'm wondering how do i scan to the networked machine from ubuntu 8.10
[20:50] <jakiw> histo Why do u prefer it? Really interests me, because I will have to choose which to use..
[20:50] <histo> dooglus: yeaht hen modprobe the ndiswrapper and you should start taking off. If not you need to ask someone else.
[20:50] <histo> jakiw: its free for one.
[20:50] <hiexpo> peter_curry, should be the same
[20:51] <histo> jakiw: also the 3d acceleration etc..
[20:51] <dooglus> histo: I've loaded the ndiswrapper module
[20:51] <peter_curry> hiexpo - so even though I reinstalled Ubuntu, somehow my password was retained on the server - and I don't have to reset it?  I do I check what it is?

[20:51] <tabb> Hi
[20:51] <tabb> greeks
[20:51] <Turbolinux> Guntbert: It's really strange as you say. How I can rebuild repository? Maybe it can solve this problem.
[20:51] <oriolo> hi
[20:51] <tabb> pls
[20:51] <jakiw> histo VMWare Server is free too
[20:52] <tabb> listen to me
[20:52] <guntbert> Turbolinux: another try: go to system/preferences/network proxy - there you already have set "direct connection" - press "apply system wide"
[20:52] <tabb> its very important
[20:52] <oriolo> i am having a problem with data lost from an usb drive
[20:52] <oriolo> i can not see any partition on it
[20:52] <tabb> are you all from greece?
[20:53] <oriolo> i have tried tools like dd, gpart.. and no success
[20:53] <guntbert> !gr | tabb
[20:53] <oriolo> can anybody hel me please?
[20:53] <oriolo> thanks
[20:53] <tabb> guntbert: can we talk a bit?
[20:53] <histo> jakiw: wellt hen try them both and see which you like mroe.
[20:54] <peter_curry> hiexpo - you still there?
[20:54] <hiexpo> yes sorry phone
[20:54] <guntbert> tabb: no, this channel is for ubuntu support - but you can visit #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:54] <histo> jakiw: if you download virtualbox don't get the virtualbox-ose edition. That one doesn't have USB which you will need for the ipod thing.
[20:54] <histo> jakiw: just get the normal one fromtheir downloads page. They even have a deb availible for ubuntu.
[20:54] <hiexpo> peter_curry, yes sorry phone
[20:55] <aliciapg> nytek_: everywhere i seem to look says reinstall >-< i can't do that
[20:55] <peter_curry> hiexpo - so even though I reinstalled Ubuntu, somehow my password was retained on the server - and I don't have to reset it?  I do I check what it is?
[20:56] <jakiw> histo Whats the dif between the normal and the ose?
[20:56] <tabb> anybody can talk with me for 2 minutes
[20:56] <tabb> ??
[20:57] <ardchoille> tabb: Do you have a ubuntu support question?
[20:57] <hiexpo> peter_curry, if you did not save it for your records than i believe you have to start a new account but when you go to start a new account
[20:57] <tabb> But have to be greek
[20:57] <tabb> Not really, but more important
[20:57] <ardchoille> !ot | tabb
[20:57] <hiexpo> peter_curry, it may reconize your user
[20:58] <peter_curry> hiexpo: then how I am still able to chat in this room?  How does it recognize my user (computer name) - if that changed?
[20:58] <tabb> i wrote here because those people who use ubuntu can understand maybe the problem
[20:58] <tuxnani> latest repos????
[20:58] <tuxnani> latest repos????
[20:58] <tuxnani> latest repos????
[20:58] <tuxnani> latest repos????
[20:58] <FloodBot2> tuxnani: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:59] <histo> jakiw: ose is open source edition. So you don't have usb support on the vm
[20:59] <tuxnani> latest repos????

[20:59] <guntbert> tuxnani: stop that please
[20:59] <tabb> so im waiting
[20:59] <tuxnani> i have got qt 4.5 in my ubuntu repo!
[20:59] <Turbolinux> Guntbert: It didn't change anything. It still gives same messages.
[21:00] <tuxnani> i need a latest web repo of ubuntu
[21:00] <hiexpo> peter_curry, no i misunderstood than no you will always have your user id even if u reinstall cause you registered
[21:00] <histo> tabb: i'm sure there is a greek support channel
[21:00] <tuxnani> with qt (>=4.6)
[21:00] <histo> tabb: /j #ubuntu-gr
[21:00] <tabb> you will all misere according your economy changes
[21:00] <Elrox> tuxnani,  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade sources.list
[21:00] <histo> !ot | tabb
[21:00] <MilitantPotato> tuxnani: try enabling backports in your sources
[21:01] <jakiw> histo and the otehr one isnt open source?
[21:01] <tuxnani> Elrox: its the http o0r ftp url i want
[21:01] <peter_curry> hiexpo - I'm still confused.  What do you mean by "you will always have your user id ... 'cause you registered"?  What does this program reference to allow me access to this chat room?
[21:01] <guntbert> Turbolinux: sorry - I'm almost at the end of my ideas - one last desperate thing: did you reboot already (once that seemed to solve that issue)
[21:01] <histo> jakiw: yes not for the usb stuff
[21:01] <Elrox> tuxnani, do what MilitantPotato suggested first
[21:01] <tuxnani> latest repos????
[21:01] <tuxnani> latest repos????

[21:01] <histo> jakiw:
[21:01] <MilitantPotato> tuxnani: system>adminstration>Software sources
[21:01] <brandonban6> is it possible to get the filesystem type from an image (i.e. similar to using fdisk -l to get mounted file system types)... I have an image file that will not mount unless I specify the filesystem type.
[21:01] <mawst> Does anyone know if an update was released recently that seriously improved performance? I was having a problem with performance which has been inexplicably solved.

[21:02] <Out_Cold> could someone nmap an IP for me?? (it's my own)
[21:02] <histo> Out_Cold: why dont' you nmap it

[21:02] <guntbert> !ot | Out_Cold
[21:02] <Out_Cold> histo, because I am inside the network and I don't get the results I need
[21:02] <histo> Out_Cold: if you scan the public ip it shouldnt' matter. but you need to join off topic
[21:03] <brjann> brandonban6: does the 'file' utility tell you what it is? i.e.,     file <filename>
[21:03] <CrashOverride> guntbert: That question still related to support. As he needs help getting the results it is SUPPORT
[21:03] <histo> tuxnani: or you can build it from source but stop spamming the channel with latest repos
[21:03] <Out_Cold> it is ubuntu related..
[21:03] <nullp0inter> hey would anyone know why its happening, or how to fix an issue with firefox which displays GIFs very badly? they look nothing like they are supposd, the details of the colors r all gone

[21:07] <histo> user_: what version of ubuntu?
[21:07] <jakiw> !best | jakiw
[21:08] <justin22885> it would be cool if i could install windows xp via a virtual machine to another desktop and use a hotkey to switch back and forth

[21:08] <CrashOverride> !grub | justin22885
[21:09] <justin22885> im not dual booting
[21:09] <histo> user_: there is an openchrome driver
[21:09] <ChogyDan> justin22885: I think you can install it so just the task bar is at the bottom, but it is not very stable
[21:09] <user_> histo, where ?
[21:10] <histo> user_: I believe they even have a driver on the via website
[21:10] <CrashOverride> justin22885: Use VMWare then
[21:10] <CrashOverride> justin22885: VmWare will do just what you want to do. :)
[21:10] <justin22885> im on vmware workstation right now getting some XP dll files
[21:10] <user_> histo, all drivers there dont work
[21:10] <langtree> How do I get scroll arrows at the top and bottom of scrollbars ?
[21:11] <histo> user_: have you tried searching the forums?
[21:11] <langtree> Ahh, never mind.
[21:12] <user_> histo, i tried to install some driver and i got "found unsuppored xorg" any idea why ?
[21:12] <peter_curry> Does anyone know why I am still able to get into #ubuntu - even after reinstalling Ubuntu and changing my username?  Is my password saved on the server somewhere, irregardless of my username changing?
[21:12] <hystreni> hello, i tried to make my wirelss internett connection faster and i started the terminal and entered "sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf" in there i tried to take away the first "nameserver xx.xxx.xx" but i dont seem to be abdle to Save it. does anybody know?
[21:12] <nuki> hola
[21:12] <nuki> hello
[21:12] <histo> user_: no idea on that one.
[21:13] <jenia> hello everyone
[21:13] <nuki> hi
[21:13] <jenia> does anyone here use nvidia gts 8800 video cards
[21:13] <peter_curry> thoughts?
[21:13] <jenia> successfully that is
[21:13] <Nosteia> 9200 GT
[21:13] <hamza>  when i click on "computer", all of my system devices except for "filesystem" has disappeared.  when i click on disk utility, they show up there :S it has been a problem since whenever i plug in a usb, it does not show up on my desktop or nautilus, and i have to go through disk utility to access it.  anyone have any ideas?? :(
[21:13] <JStoone> Is it possible to edit some GRUB conf file to change the listing of the boot options? For example, I want my Windows on top and Ubuntu beneath it. Right now my Ubuntu option is in top and Windows is Beneath.
[21:13] <nuki> hola
[21:13] <Capt_Blackwood> nVidia 9800GT Ultimate...sorry
[21:13] <jenia> well maybe you encountered this problem
[21:13] <Nosteia> What is the issue
[21:13] <histo> user_: looks liek openchrome is the default driver installed
[21:13] <nuki> hello
[21:14] <jenia> when i install the propriety drivers, on reboot my screen black
[21:14] <jenia> the x11 doesnt load
[21:14] <user_> histo, i saw  forums , and via  seems to have problem in untubu
[21:14] <peter_curry> Can anyone explain to me how user access to IRC works?
[21:14] <jenia> my screen is* black
[21:14] <histo> user_: what problems are you experiencing?
[21:14] <Nosteia> Why not install the Ubuntu Drivers instead?
[21:14] <ChogyDan> JStoone: I don't think it is easy, I think they assumed you would use the save default setting.  But, you can reorder the scripts
[21:14] <histo> user_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome#VIA%20proprietary%20graphics%20driver
[21:14] <jenia> ubuntu drivers? okay yea ill try
[21:15] <jenia> thank you
[21:15] <histo> user_: there's the link for the proprietary driver. You can also check in System > Admin > Hardware drivers
[21:15] <user_> histo, no visual effects, slow 3D
[21:15] <histo> user_: yeah you need the propreitary drivers then.
[21:15] <peter_curry> Anyone - this should be a quick answer.  Where do I check or change my login information (username and password) for this IRC chat?
[21:15] <PratikPatel> Is there a better way of describing my issue with 2 monitors, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/521624 ?
[21:15] <Nosteia> Click System then Admin. Hardware Drivers...see if it finds it.  That's what I did.  Worked great, even with Compiz
[21:15] <JStoone> ChogyDan: Thats right.. I didn't think of that option (: Can you tell me what .conf file I should be looking for?
[21:15] <histo> user_: check System > Administration > Hardware Drivers or Restricted Drivers it should be called they may be availible in there. If not follow the directions int he link above.

[21:16] <Nosteia> !ubottu| Thankx.  First time on this irc...second time on an irc period.
[21:17] <hunt> Hi, does anyone know how to install a divx-plugin for firefox or chrome in ubuntu?
[21:17] <histo> ehnde: if its installed then its working
[21:17] <KnifeySpooney> Is there a way to get transparent window borders on themes like Human?
[21:17] <histo> or you can use the restricted-manager
[21:17] <histo> ehnde: package
[21:17] <user_> histo, i get nothing on hardware drivers/....
[21:17] <jenia> no it only gives me a choice between two version of the propriety drivers
[21:17] <morph__> guys
[21:17] <ehnde> histo: no need to reboot?
[21:17] <morph__> i need some help
[21:17] <histo> ehnde: yeah ifyou just installed/activated nvidia driver you need to reboot.
[21:17] <MilitantPotato> !ask | morph3k
[21:17] <histo> ehnde: how did you installt hem?
[21:18] <ehnde> histo: apt-get install nvidia-current
[21:18] <ardchoille> histo: no need to reboot, just log out and back in
[21:18] <morph3k> i just installed the NEWEST kernel of ubuntu and it comes with the magic mouse support supposedly
[21:18] <morph3k> however
[21:18] <morph3k> i still cant scroll
[21:18] <histo> ardchoille: no you need to restart X
[21:18] <morph3k> how can i force the command to run
[21:18] <histo> ardchoille: and the kernel module needs to be loaded
[21:18] <ardchoille> histo: that's what logging out and backin does
[21:18] <MilitantPotato> morph3k: System>Preferences>mouse enable two finger scroll?
[21:18] <morph3k> magic mouse
[21:18] <peter_curry> OK - I'm not going to worry about it, I guess.  Another question.  I just reinstalled Ubuntu on my IBM Thinkpad T43.  It's telling me my battery is critically low, but then saying the percentage is over 90%?  My computer just beeped like it was low and then shut down on me.  So the battery indicator in Ubuntu is now showing the correct percentage.  How do I fix this?
[21:18] <histo> ardchoille: logging out and back in does nto restart X because GDM or KDM is running in his case
[21:18] <ardchoille> histo: I never had to reboot when installing nvidia drivers
[21:19] <user_> histo, i get nothing on hardware drivers/....
[21:19] <histo> ardchoille: he would ahve to sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart
[21:19] <morph3k> MilitantPotato: let me boot into ubuntu
[21:19] <morph3k> brb
[21:19] <histo> user_: then follow the directions from the link that I pasted
[21:19] <ikonia> ardchoille: you should have to load a kernel module and restart X at the minimum
[21:19] <histo> user_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome#VIA%20proprietary%20graphics%20driver
[21:19] <ardchoille> All I've had to do is log out and back in, guess my systemis borked
[21:20] <histo> ikonia: I can't remember if the nvidia package loads the module on installation I dont' think it does.
[21:20] <ikonia> histo: it does load a kernel module
[21:20] <peter_curry> It tells me these things after I remove the plugin - telling I only have 4-5 minutes until hibernation, but yet the battery percentage is showing over 90%  Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
[21:20] <ikonia> histo: before you can use the xorg driver you need the module loaded, either manually or a reboot
[21:20] <histo> ardchoille: No its not loading if your doing that you probably using the old one still.
[21:20] <histo> ikonia: yeap
[21:20] <peter_curry> I currently have it plugged in - and now it shows 100% battery power ...
[21:21] <histo> peter_curry: bad battery/cord?
[21:21] <MutantTurkey> hello does anyone know how i can check my current framebuffer number?
[21:21] <brandonban6> having problems mounting dd image; anyone have suggestions on other ways to read a dd image?
[21:21] <MilitantPotato> peter_curry: I have to reboot after plugging in my battery
[21:21] <histo> peter_curry: my dell laptop does funky stuff like that because one of the pins broke onthe cord.
[21:21] <ikonia> brandonban6: dd's aren't images, they are block by block copies of a device
[21:22] <MilitantPotato> peter_curry: if I don't boot with the battery installed it always shows 0% (but fully charged)
[21:22] <morph> okay
[21:22] <morph> are u still there
[21:22] <morph> the guy i was just talking to
[21:22] <MilitantPotato> morph yea
[21:22] <morph> ok
[21:22] <morph> how do i force something to run
[21:22] <histo> brandonban6: try using -o loop in there for an option
[21:23] <user_> histo, 10x ill try that one
[21:23] <MilitantPotato> morph what are you trying to get running?
[21:23] <brandonban6> ikonia, thanks... i understand you should still be able to mount a copy using the loop/offset options... but I can't read the partition type, and thus it won't mount. Any thoughts on how to move forward?
[21:23] <histo> user_: np
[21:23] <cassiopeia> Hi all. Is wubi supported here?
[21:23] <morph> magic mouse
[21:23] <morph> script thing
[21:23] <ikonia> brandonban6: you can't read the partition type because it's not a device
[21:23] <MilitantPotato> morph add it to startup applications
[21:23] <brandonban6> thanks histo, i have tried that, it asks for a partition type.
[21:23] <ikonia> brandonban6: I don't believe you can do what you want to do
[21:23] <MilitantPotato> morph, make sure the script is executable
[21:23] <histo> brandonban6: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=711773
[21:23] <ikonia> brandonban6: if you had taken an image of a partition I think that may work, but not a whole device
[21:24] <hamza>  when i click on "computer", all of my system devices except for "filesystem" has disappeared.  when i click on disk utility, they show up there :S it has been a problem since whenever i plug in a usb, it does not show up on my desktop or nautilus, and i have to go through disk utility to access it.  anyone have any ideas?? its really really been bugging me :( :(
[21:24] <ikonia> as there is no real device
[21:24] <morph> ugh
[21:24] <nullp0inter> i am using swap everyonce in a while...is that bad?
[21:24] <morph> cant find the file
[21:24] <brandonban6> ikonia, per the ubuntu documentation I can: here is what I am doing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Data%20Recovery%20from%20damaged%20filesystem%20or%20drive
[21:24] <nullp0inter> i feel like its not a good thing
[21:24] <shazbotmcnasty> how do I tell what version of rtorrent I have?
[21:24] <linxeh> nullp0inter: it is fine, unless its things you want to use all the time that get swapped out
[21:24] <histo> brandonban6: that forum link I posted descusses it
[21:24] <MilitantPotato> nullp0inter: Max I've used is 5mb with 1 gig of ram
[21:25] <histo> brandonban6: you can get the info from fdisk -u -l diskimage
[21:25] <nullp0inter> linxeh: firefox eats up most of my memory
[21:25] <MilitantPotato> nullp0inter: if you set swappieness to 10, you'll use it less frequently
[21:25] <linxeh> nullp0inter: if you arent using an app, or its not doing anything, it might be better to swap it out to give other apps more ram, or even disk cache
[21:25] <ardchoille> Can we skip versions on upgrades now or is that only for LTS to LTS?
[21:25] <histo> brandonban6: make sure your offset number is right
[21:25] <linxeh> nullp0inter: firefox keeps page caches per window/tab
[21:25] <brandonban6> histo, thanks I'll give that a shot.
[21:25] <linxeh> nullp0inter: if you periodically close all windows/tabs/restart its usually a bit better
[21:25] <histo> brandonban6: you ahve to multiply by 512
[21:25] <GeekSquid> ardchoille: only LTS to LTS
[21:26] <ardchoille> ok
[21:26] <ikonia> brandonban6: what mount command are you using ?
[21:26] <nullp0inter> linxeh: yea i just hate restarting it...i only have 512MB of RAM so it kills me if i have more than 3 apps open
[21:26] <hunt> Hi, does anyone know how to install a divx-plugin for firefox or chrome in ubuntu?
[21:26] <histo> brandonban6: sudo mount -t loop,offset=(somenumber which is start*512) -t auto blah blah
[21:26] <linxeh> nullp0inter: ah; 512mb ram is pushing it a bit these days :o
[21:26] <MilitantPotato> !medibuntu | hunt
[21:27] <nullp0inter> linxeh: =/ yup..i got this puppy in 2000, when it was top of the line
[21:27] <morph> ugh MilitantPotato i cant find it
[21:27] <morph> it is magic mouse
[21:27] <histo> nullp0inter: you can use a different browser like dillo or something that lighter
[21:27] <pikeshouse88> hey guys, how can i login into GDM without the GUI? i dont want to use VNC for the action
[21:27] <morph> it came with the new kernal
[21:27] <MilitantPotato> morph you need a script for it?
[21:27] <morph> 2.6.31.9
[21:27] <morph> i dunno what damn module it is
[21:27] <nullp0inter> histo: thanks for the tip..hows chrome on memory?
[21:28] <morph> how do i reinstall the uh
[21:28] <MilitantPotato> morph did you try enabling 2 finger scroll in mouse props?
[21:28] <morph> modules
[21:28] <morph> where is that
[21:28] <linxeh> nullp0inter: have you tried chrome or similar ?
[21:28] <histo> nullp0inter: can't remember but I thought it was a hog.
[21:28] <GeekSquid> !enter |morph
[21:28] <histo> nullp0inter: you could also use X forwarding or something to help you out.
[21:28] <brandonban6> histo, ikonia i at first tried mount -o loop filename mountpoint :: it then replied and said I must specify type:: it came from an old windows xp install so i assumed ntfs, i.e. mount -t ntfs-3g -o loop filename mountpoint
[21:28] <morph> MilitantPotato, where is 2 finger scrolling
[21:28] <MilitantPotato> morph System>Preferences>Mouse
[21:28] <histo> nullp0inter: forward X from antoher box.
[21:28] <morph> i dont see it...
[21:28] <linxeh> chrome tends to peak a bit higher than firefox on my system, but overall it is lower I think
[21:28] <hunt> MilitantPotato: I know medibuntu, sudo apt-cache search divx gives me many packages, I just dont know which one I need.
[21:29] <Zer7> Hurrah, it's working. I'd like to thank whoever made the Ubuntu Minimal Install, you've saved me
[21:29] <pikeshouse88> anyone?
[21:29] <morph> MilitantPotato, how do i make modules install in the kernel
[21:30] <morph> there is a command i used for it earlier
[21:30] <pikeshouse88> command line option to login GDM gui from terminal
[21:30] <MilitantPotato> morph I believe modprobe -i 'modulename'
[21:30] <MilitantPotato> hunt: sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[21:30] <morph> i want all modules
[21:30] <nullp0inter> histo: whats that
[21:30] <histo> brandonban6: did you see my mount line?
[21:30] <morph> what about all modules MilitantPotato
[21:30] <histo> nullp0inter: do you have another computer thats a little beefier running linux?
[21:30] <brandonban6> histo: here is the result of fdisk -u -l imagefile
[21:30] <MilitantPotato> morph all modules for all hardware? That'd be bad
[21:30] <GeekSquid> pikeshouse88: understand that GDM allows you to login to Gnome or other window manager .. if you are at a command prompt and logged in as your user and GDM is not running type startx and you will login to the gnome gui
[21:31] <morph> yep
[21:31] <morph> whats the command
[21:31] <nullp0inter> histo: i have one thats worse, not better
[21:31] <hunt> MilitantPotato: I already have w64codecs installed.
[21:31] <brandonban6> histo, yes, but I can not determine the appropiate offset
[21:31] <histo> brandonban6: just take the start of the partition you want to mount and multiply by 512 that is your offset number
[21:31] <MilitantPotato> hunt: have ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[21:31] <morph> MilitantPotato, i know u think its bad but i need to do it
[21:31] <histo> nullp0inter: ahh nvm the X forwarding then. You could have run the app on the beefier computer and forwarded it to the local one.
[21:31] <morph> so how do i make it install all modules
[21:31] <brandonban6> histo, i'll give it a shot, thanks
[21:32] <hunt> MilitantPotato: yes and non-free-codecs too
[21:32] <MilitantPotato> morph idk man, just find the module name
[21:32] <MilitantPotato> hunt: did you try using VLC or another media player?
[21:32] <MilitantPotato> hunt: some don't play well with certain codecs
[21:33] <MilitantPotato> hunt: another option would be compiling the divx from source.
[21:33] <MilitantPotato> hunt: it comes with an install script if I remember correctly, so it'd just need a sudo ./install.sh from the extracted directory
[21:34] <hunt> MilitantPotato: I just got it :)
[21:34] <Elrox> hunt, i just came in on this convo, so may be wrong, but have you tried this?  http://www.woodbeeco.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9:playing-dvds&catid=4:geek-weekly&Itemid=3
[21:35] <brandonban6> histo, I tried your command, it returns error "must specify file system type"
[21:35] <hunt> MilitantPotato: Elrox: sudo apt-get install avifile-divx-plugin helped...
[21:35] <ikonia> brandonban6: what command are you using ?
[21:35] <histo> brandonban6: yeah what type of filesystem is it?
[21:35] <MilitantPotato> hunt: ah good deal
[21:35] <Elrox> hunt, cool ;-)
[21:36] <hunt> MilitantPotato: shouldnt that really be a dependency of one of the codec packages?
[21:36] <histo> brandonban6: and what command are you typing in?
[21:36] <brandonban6> ikonia "sudo mount -o loop,offset=(block#*512) filename mountpoint"
[21:36] <morph> MilitantPotato, i found what i need to run
[21:36] <MilitantPotato> hunt: you'd think.
[21:36] <histo> brandonban6: yes you need to specify a filesytem -t auto atleast.
[21:36] <morph> its hid-magicmouse.ko
[21:36] <hunt> MilitantPotato: anyways, thank you very much
[21:36] <Elrox> hunt, may not be opensource or gnu, which means you have to manually enable it,,,
[21:36] <histo> brandonban6: you're oputting in actual filenames and moutnpoints I assume right?
[21:36] <morph> /lib/modules/2.6.33/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-magicmouse.ko -- MilitantPotato
[21:36] <cassiopeia> Hi, is wubi supported here?
[21:37] <MilitantPotato> morph sudo modprobe -i hid-magicmouse.ko
[21:37] <crawler> hunt: ever tried linux mint?  less hassle for codecs and such :)
[21:37] <histo> brandonban6: put a -t auto before filename and mountpoint
[21:37] <GeekSquid> morph: modprobe hid-magicmouse   --- if it gives no output then the module was found
[21:37] <brandonban6> histo, I don't know the file type, it came from an old xp install and I'm trying to recover it... it was a storage array... if I try to mount the partition directly, it errors and gives a hint  RAID not set up correctly.
[21:37] <histo> brandonban6: unless you know the filesystem type then you can -t ntfs
[21:37] <MilitantPotato> cassiopeia: probably
[21:37] <histo> brandonban6: hrm...
[21:38] <SporadicCrash> hi, i need support about LIRC, can anyone help?
[21:38] <hunt> crawler: havent tried it yet but I'm gonne give it a try with the next release
[21:38] <histo> brandonban6: that I Have no idea on what to do with a raid setup. Never used it.
[21:38] <crawler> !metaquestion | SporadicCrash
[21:38] <MilitantPotato> morph GeekSquid is correct, don't use the -i, sorry.
[21:38] <brandonban6> histo yes i'm using actual file names, and both ntfs and ntfs-3g fail.... so I wonder if it isn't in some funky file system associated to the RAID he had set up before.
[21:38] <cassiopeia> Okay. Well I have a wubi installation of 9.10 which worked fine for a while. Now, after selecting "ubuntu" in the initial boot screen, I get dumped into a minimal bash-like GRUB shell, with no indication of what's wrong and how to fix it. What should I do?
[21:38] <GeekSquid> morph: do that with sudo
[21:39] <crawler> hunt: i recommend it over ubuntu for codec reasons, and it's prettier xD
[21:39] <histo> brandonban6: its possible fdisk should have showed the filesystem type
[21:39] <morph> GeekSquid, morph@morph-ubuntu:~/Desktop/linux-2.6$ modprobe hid-magicmouse
[21:39] <morph> FATAL: Error inserting hid_magicmouse (/lib/modules/2.6.33/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-magicmouse.ko): Operation not permitted
[21:39] <histo> brandonban6: didyou try auto for the type?
[21:39] <SporadicCrash> even though i have installed the package "lirc", "lsmod | grep lirc" doesn't return me anything
[21:39] <SporadicCrash> does anyone why?
[21:39] <morph> thats what it said when i typed it
[21:39] <morph> i forgot sud
[21:39] <morph> sudo
[21:39] <slayton> anybody in here experienced with samba permissions? how do I setup samba to appropriately map userIDs from the server to the client?  When a user has a different userID on the server and their local machine I run into problems with file ownership and I don't know how to solve this...
[21:39] <histo> SporadicCrash: I think its lircd
[21:39] <histo> SporadicCrash: or something liek that.
[21:39] <brandonban6> histo, yes, it lists it as SFS, which I understand to be dynamic disk... but couldn't get it to mount as ntfs or ntfs-3g.
[21:39] <brandonban6> histo, let me try using auto
[21:39] <agdoku> I am trying to move an installation to another disk and therefore need to move grub2 and the boot partition as well. I am having trouble there.
[21:39] <hamza> no system devices (partitions, usb, cd/dvd drive) are showing in my nautilus, but they show in disk utility, any fix?
[21:40] <histo> brandonban6: hold up let me check something also
[21:40] <agdoku> where do I set what used to be "root" in grub2?
[21:40] <alzamabar> Hi, re Subversion: http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html ...I read that starting from version 1.6 SVN has some support for Keyring or KWallet. I don't like the idea of SVN storing the passwords in plain text. Does anyone of you know how could I setup Ubuntu 9.10 (yeah, I'm running the binaries, I haven't compiled it) so that it doesn't store SVN passwords in plain text? Unfortunately the version coming from APT is 1.4.4
[21:40] <morph> GeekSquid, how do i check if its running
[21:41] <agdoku> life was so easy when one could simply run grub by hand, set the "root" and then "setup" grub to some mbr

[21:48] <danub> how do i do that?

[21:54] <wirechief> linux1001 what errors are you getting
[21:54] <GeekSquid> linux1001: have you blacklisted the linux native driver
[21:54] <morph> i dont know wtf the problem is

[21:54] <hamza> malfermitKodo: try installing a newer kernel, it's probably fixed
[21:55] <linux1001> GeekSquid, yes   wirechief I do sudo depmod -a then sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

[21:58] <onyx550> how can i find out if it will install on my hp dv7 laptop and fully work?
[21:59] <ikonia> onyx550: check the hardware components to see if they are supported by linux in general
[21:59] <linux1001> echo -e "blacklist bcm43xx\nblacklist b43\nblacklist b431legacy\nblacklist ssb" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist is what i used
[21:59] <onyx550> where can i check the hardware?
[21:59] <AkumaSaru> GeekSquid, i've got it working thanks, it gave me a few more resolutions.  How come it doesn't make a xorg.conf and allow me to configure it from there?
[21:59] <JStoone> Elrox: I do "sudo -i gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg" and it tells me  "You are trying to save the file on a read-only disk." when I'm about to save..
[21:59] <wirechief> linux1001 maybe if you retry using ndiswrapper -r name.inf and redo it.but you also need to blacklist any modules that are being loaded that are not being used.
[21:59] <GeekSquid> linux1001: xorg.conf is depricated in Karmic
[21:59] <crawler> onyx550: boot the live cd and test all your hardware.
[22:00] <Elrox> Pyru, check this...  http://www.woodbeeco.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4:enabling-pae-in-ubuntu-linux-910-karmic-koala&catid=6:gamers-corner&Itemid=7
[22:00] <onyx550> ok will do thanks
[22:00] <crawler> yw
[22:00] <linux1001> ok, let me see what i can do
[22:00] <Pyru> Elrox: thank you.
[22:00] <morph> GeekSquid, and how do i run that again
[22:00] <GeekSquid> linux1001: strange .. I didn't think the Wusb54gsv2 used broadcom drivers
[22:00] <Elrox> JStoone, no, do sudo -i      then try editing stuff
[22:00] <GeekSquid> morph: sudo modprobe hid-magicmouse
[22:01] <JStoone> ah! (:
[22:01] <nexsja> [viliny], hi, you there? :>
[22:01] <wirechief> linux1001 that ndiswrapper -r nameofwindowsdriver without the inf on the end
[22:01] <linux1001> GeekSquid, just something i found on the forums
[22:01] <morph> woahhh
[22:01] <zeek0124> i need some help please
[22:01] <morph> i got a BUNCH of errors
[22:01] <zeek0124> my audio is not working
[22:01] <linux1001> k
[22:01] <linux1001> wirechief, i'll do that now
[22:02] <Elrox> ikonia, did you see the link i sent to Pyru?
[22:02] <crawler> !audio | zeek0124
[22:02] <ikonia> Elrox: no
[22:02] <GeekSquid> linux1001: please pastebin the output of lsusb with the wusb54gsv2 connected
[22:02] <JStoone> Elrox, nope doesn't work. Even though it shows I'm root..
[22:02] <|sanchez|> anyone know how to get unrar to extract an archive even if crc fails? I can in windows extract this archive but in linux it says crc error and deletes all contents it dumped
[22:02] <wirechief> linux1001 then reinstall with ndiswrapper name.inf  but also do ndiswrapper -ma too
[22:02] <actionParsnip> yo yo yo
[22:02] <GeekSquid> JStoone: what are you using to edit?
[22:02] <VCoolio> JStoone: DON'T edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but edit /etc/default/grub and then do "sudo update-grub"
[22:02] <actionParsnip> wirechief, linux1001 try using ndisgtk instead
[22:02] <MalfermitaKodo> hamza: Nothing is updatable
[22:03] <linux1001> GeekSquid, i think i may need to reboot or something... lsusb hangs, and so does ndiswrapper -l
[22:03] <Elrox> JStoone, are you using vi/vim ?
[22:03] <nexsja> viliny hi, you still there? :>
[22:03] <wirechief> linux1001 what version ndiswrapper are you using ? dpkg -l|grep ndiswrapper
[22:03] <crawler> |sanchez|: try unrar -kb <file>
[22:03] <JStoone> VCoolio: Thanks! I didn't fully understand what the wiki.ubuntu told me (:
[22:03] <|sanchez|>  thanks crawler
[22:04] <MalfermitaKodo> hamza: the update which apt-get installed changed only below the patchlevel---
[22:04] <nullp0inter> ok so i just installed the latest update offered by apt-get for firefox, and i am runnign firefox 3.0.18... wtf?
[22:04] <sensae> Why would mountall be unable to mount an mdadm raid from my fstab?
[22:04] <JStoone> Elrox: No I use Gedit
[22:04] <fabio> ciao
[22:04] <Elrox> JStoone, exit your sudo -i,   then do gksudo gedit filename
[22:04] <ikonia> sensae: is the array started
[22:04] <linux1001> wirechief, will do as soon as it comes back up... rebooted
[22:04] <wirechief> k
[22:04] <MilitantPotato> nullp0inter: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
[22:04] <JStoone> Elrox: thanks (:
[22:04] <iceroot> nullp0inter: on jaunty?
[22:05] <wirechief> linux1001 i used 1.54 for my belkin N wireless adapter and it worked fine.
[22:05] <hamza> malfermitkodo: http://unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/780-upgrade-your-kernel-the-safe-way-in-ubuntu-linuxmint follow these instructions :)
[22:05] <sensae> ikonia: Yes. It hangs on boot with "Waiting for device" but when I try to manually mount it I can
[22:05] <Elrox> JStoone, exit your sudo -i,   then do gksudo gedit /path/to/filename
[22:05] <actionParsnip> nullp0inter, its a seperate app
[22:05] <nullp0inter> MilitantPotato, it couldnt find it
[22:05] <nullp0inter> iceroot, Hardy
[22:05] <linux1001> wirechief, ndisgtk 0.8.4-1    ndiswrapper-common 1.54-2ubuntu1  ndiswrapper-utils-1.9    1.54-2ubuntu1
[22:05] <ikonia> sensae: if you don't auto mount it, when you boot is it started already when you log in
[22:05] <iceroot> nullp0inter: there is no ff3.5 on hardy in the normal repos
[22:05] <actionParsnip> nullp0inter, uninstall 3.0 too, saves space
[22:05] <wirechief> linux1001: ok
[22:05] <iceroot> !backports | nullp0inter
[22:06] <JStoone> Elrox, I'll do as VCoolio told me. To edit the /etc/default/grub and then do "sudo update-grub"
[22:06] <|sanchez|> crawler it doesnt like that command
[22:06] <linux1001> wirechief, was the blacklisting i did correct?
[22:06] <|sanchez|> although k and b are needed im seeing now looking at man page
[22:06] <sensae> ikonia: Yes, but I'm trying to get it to automount seeing as it's my home partition.
[22:06] <Elrox> JStoone, yes, that would be best
[22:06] <ikonia> sensae: just trying to work out if it's running first
[22:06] <linux1001> wirechief, if so, can i go ahead and ndiswrapper -i <inf file>
[22:06] <actionParsnip> nullp0inter, https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa has all the way up to 3.7 for hardy
[22:06] <JStoone> Elrox: Thank you for the help and have a nice evening (:
[22:06] <crawler> |sanchez|: try unrar e -kb <file>
[22:06] <wirechief> linux1001 well you can do lsmod and see if any wireless modules are loaded other than yours
[22:07] <|sanchez|> grrr thanks crawler
[22:07] <|sanchez|> i thought it would be unrar e kb file
[22:07] <|sanchez|> didnt realize -<switch>
[22:07] <|sanchez|> thanks :) :)
[22:07] <linux1001> wirechief, it is showing ndiswrapper on that list
[22:07] <wirechief> ok
[22:07] <sensae> ikonia: Yeah, it runs on startup
[22:07] <actionParsnip> linux1001, if you use ndisgtk its all handled for you, all you have to do is point it to the files
[22:07] <crawler> |sanchez|: missed that one, sorry.  glad you got it
[22:07] <JStoone> Elrox: one last question, isn't there an easier way to exit 'sudo -i' than restarting the terminal?
[22:07] <ikonia> sensae: if you now add it to fstab and do a mount -a does it mount ?
[22:07] <SporadicCrash> is there anyone who knows LIRC? except "histo"?
[22:07] <wirechief> linux1001 ndisgtk works too.
[22:07] <iceroot> !anyone | SporadicCrash
[22:07] <nullp0inter> actionParsnip, ty
[22:07] <ikonia> JStoone: type "exit"
[22:07] <linux1001> actionParsnip, i did and it did not work
[22:07] <nullp0inter> iceroot, ty
[22:08] <KB1JWQ> MilitantPotato: Thanks for the advice on kubuntu/ubuntu earlier; I appreciate it.
[22:08] <actionParsnip> linux1001, gotcha
[22:08] <Elrox> JStoone, just type exit
[22:08] <MilitantPotato> KB1JWQ: np
[22:08] <linux1001> actionParsnip, do i do ndisgtk with usb adapter plugged in or not?
[22:08] <JStoone> ikonia: ooh, haha I was typeing "quit"
[22:08] <actionParsnip> linux1001, its a gui to ndiswrapper so i have reservations if it can be done manually
[22:08] <JStoone> Elrox: oh! (: I was continuesly typeing 'quit' ^
[22:09] <actionParsnip> linux1001, yes, have the hardware present and give ndisgtk the inf and sys file
[22:09] <sensae> ikonia: Well I'm not sure, as X has my home directory locked now. Doing a "mount /home" did mount it properly
[22:09] <wirechief> linux1001 you need to be in the same folder as the above .inf and .sys files
[22:10] <ikonia> sensae: oh, I see, it's your home dir
[22:10] <ikonia> sensae: booting into single user mode maybe a good test
[22:10] <MalfermitaKodo> Anyone know why the device /dev/video0 fails to exist though the kernel module is existant?
[22:10] <hamza> malfermitKodo: i'm sort of a noob, all i kno is that i updated my kernel through that site and it fixed my cam problem
[22:10] <kamcio2603> http://u.nu/8yiu6
[22:10] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: perhaps a silly questions, but does    ls /dev/video*    list any other video devices?
[22:10] <sensae> ikonia: Alright, I'll try that. I'm also having a second problem with the RAID where only one drive is added on startup, and I have to manually add the second, but that doesn't keep it from running /dev/md_d0 and working
[22:10] <JStoone> VCoolio: My problem is that I want to rearrenge my boot list? Like, but my window option in top etc.
[22:10] <ikonia> kamcio2603: ?
[22:11] <linux1001> actionParsnip, wirechief, i now get an error with ndisgtk "Module could not be loaded. Error was: WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release. WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release."
[22:11] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: nope
[22:11] <ikonia> sensae: check your mdadm.conf file
[22:11] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: ls: ne povas atingi /dev/vi*: No such file or directory
[22:11] <wirechief> linux1001 well you can just mv it to a filename.conf
[22:11] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: is this a usb device?
[22:11] <sensae> ikonia: Rather blank and sparse. I read on a howto it should autodetect my raid.
[22:11] <nullp0inter> can i just install the .tar.bz2 i downloaded from firefox under hardy?
[22:11] <crawler> !alcarte | crawler
[22:12] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: officially, yes, though it is inbuilt
[22:12] <ikonia> sensae: not always, mdadm.conf is needed for ubuntu startup
[22:12] <linux1001> just make a .conf in modprobe.d dir?
[22:12] <evilmonkey998> does any one know what is causing a 7 second delay with pulseaudio before the output appears on the headphone port on my laptop?
[22:12] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: ah, okay. was hoping you could unplug and replug to capture just its syslog events
[22:12] <actionParsnip> linux1001, the file needs to have a .conf ending
[22:12] <|sanchez|> 7 sounds like youve timed this a few times ?
[22:12] <wirechief> give the blacklist files name.conf where the name is the name being used
[22:12] <sensae> ikonia: Booted into recovery console, 'mount -a' works.
[22:13] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: unfortunately not
[22:13] <ikonia> sensae: ok - my suggestion, while in single user mode, get your raid fully setup, then create the mdadm.conf - then boot multi-user with it in the fstab, see what happens
[22:13] <linux1001> i just did ls /etc/modprobe.d ... there is a blacklist.conf there, but only ndiswrapper without .conf
[22:13] <Curly_Q> Has anyone here used Webmin? Any comments especially on security?
[22:14] <actionParsnip> !webmin | Curly_Q
[22:14] <evilmonkey998> the media players always get to 7 secs before i hear anything
[22:14] <ikonia> Curly_Q: it's been dropped due to a.) massive security issues b.) maintainance of files
[22:14] <wirechief> linux1001 just mv /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf
[22:14] <sensae> ikonia: alright I'll try that
[22:14] <linux1001> k
[22:14] <morph> jeez
[22:15] <morph> GeekSquid, im in the kernel folder
[22:15] <nullp0inter> iceroot, i cant find firefox in backports for 8.04
[22:15] <morph> how do i reinstall all the modules
[22:15] <iceroot> nullp0inter: hm, strange
[22:15] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: i'm still with you, just doing a little research. bear with me
[22:15] <GeekSquid> morph: IDK .. you are going way deeper than I ever need to go
[22:16] <Sheepherd> hey all... i reinstalled windows earlier and now i cant access my ubuntu partition anymore cuz obviously the mbr is overwritten
[22:16] <actionParsnip> !grub | Sheepherd
[22:16] <iceroot> !info firefox-3.5 hardy-backports
[22:16] <Sheepherd> how can i make grub the boatloader again?
[22:16] <nullp0inter> can i somehow install the .tar.bz2 downloaded from firefox web page?
[22:16] <Sheepherd> ah ty
[22:16] <iceroot> nullp0inter: ok then you have to use a ppa
[22:16] <ikonia> nullp0inter: no
[22:17] <nullp0inter> iceroot, i was looking at the ppa, but i dont get how to download it
[22:17] <ikonia> nullp0inter: why do you want it ?
[22:17] <actionParsnip> nullp0inter, just add the mozilla ppa and you can install any version of firefox you want
[22:17] <iceroot> nullp0inter: that is a binary from mozilla, no need to install
[22:17] <actionParsnip> nullp0inter, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:17] <nullp0inter> ikonia, i dont really care, my main question was why does firefoix on my ubuntu box display GIFs terribly? everyone said to upgrade
[22:17] <actionParsnip> nullp0inter, add the lines in the technical details on the page I gave
[22:17] <futurama140> Can someone tell me how to switch my primary monitors with an ATI card?
[22:17] <Curly_Q> Thanks for the information guys.
[22:18] <ikonia> nullp0inter: can you take a screenshot of the bad displaying gif ?
[22:18] <futurama140> Can someone tell me how to switch my primary monitors with an ATI card? One is an LCD and one is a CRT
[22:18] <nullp0inter> ikonia, can i PM you with a link to it?
[22:18] <ikonia> nullp0inter: sire
[22:18] <ikonia> sure
[22:19] <actionParsnip> nullp0inter, i just gave you the method, yuo just need to add the 2 lines to the sources.list file, you can then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
[22:19] <nullp0inter> actionParsnip, thanks
[22:19] <VCoolio> futurama140: check if you can edit something in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:20] <iceroot> nullp0inter: no need for the upgrade-line. its upgrading all packages
[22:20] <iceroot> nullp0inter: not good if you use other repos instead of the original-ones
[22:20] <sensae> ikonia: So, it still times out and won't mount it. The only way to get the system to boot is to hit escape for recovery console, type 'mount -a', then ^D to continue boot, and it works.
[22:20] <ikonia> sensae: can I see your mdadm.conf ?
[22:20] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: look in /sys/bus/usb/drivers/uvcvideo. are there any directories that look similar to 1-7:1.0/ ?
[22:20] <actionParsnip> iceroot, its the official mozilla ppa dude
[22:20] <sensae> ikonia: Sure, I'll pastebin once the system finishes coming up
[22:21] <iceroot> actionParsnip: but not official ubuntu
[22:21] <iceroot> actionParsnip: so maybe its installing thunderbird 3
[22:21] <actionParsnip> iceroot, true but its the next best thing
[22:21] <iceroot> actionParsnip: and maybe he dont want that
[22:22] <ikonia> sensae: cool
[22:22] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: no
[22:22] <LetsGo67> Hello. I have one computer (Windows 7) on a wireless network (WEP), but the Linux PCs cannot logon. Can someone help, please?├Ā
[22:22] <GeekSquid> !details | LetsGo67
[22:22] <macman_> can i tether my samsung impression for internet in ubuntu ?
[22:22] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: okay, that's a start at least. that means the device isn't bound to the driver. (you did say uvcvideo was the driver that recognized the device at boot, right?)
[22:22] <actionParsnip> LetsGo67, log on to what?
[22:23] <morph> does anyone know how to reinstall all the modules from a kernel pack?
[22:23] <GeekSquid> macman_: does the impression have a teathering app?
[22:23] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: before the minor update it did after a manual modprobe..
[22:24] <macman_> GeekSquid: i don't know .. just want to know if i can use it in ubuntu
[22:24] <sensae> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/K9bKu7vz

[22:25] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: okay. does it show up in lsusb?
[22:25] <actionParsnip> morph, sudo apt-get --reinstall install  linux-modules-`uname -r`
[22:25] <GeekSquid> macman_: have you already bought it?
[22:25] <LetsGo67> actionParsnip, GeekSquid: logon to Internet.
[22:25] <LetsGo67> actionParsnip, GeekSquid: I can't browse Internet
[22:25] <actionParsnip> LetsGo67, can you access your routers config page?
[22:26] <macman_> GeekSquid: yes i have it in front of me .. im googeling to see if i can tether with ubuntu or linux
[22:26] <ikonia> sensae: ok, well, I can see why they are not getting detected
[22:26] <sensae> ikonia: ?
[22:26] <ikonia> sensae: you've not got a partition on your disks marked as "linux-auto-raid"
[22:26] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: not as named device but there is an unnamed one, I suspect to be it
[22:26] <LetsGo67> actionParsnip: from the 7 computer.  I can also browse Internet.
[22:26] <mohadib> howdy, what app should i get to generate a gpg key?
[22:27] <actionParsnip> LetsGo67, forget the 7 system, it doesn't matter what it does or doesnt do
[22:27] <GeekSquid> macman_: it runs att's modified version of android ... they don't want anyone to teather on their network so they lock down that phone.
[22:27] <actionParsnip> LetsGo67, can you access the routers config page from Ubuntu?
[22:27] <sensae> ikonia: I'll give that a shot.
[22:27] <LetsGo67> The others have 100% package loss for 192.168.0.1
[22:27] <LetsGo67> actionParsnip, no, I cannot.

[22:35] <GeekSquid> cyberbluntz: unfortunately yes, ... shall we take that discussion elsewhere?
[22:35] <nexsja> hi, i've updated my kernel and now i've lost all my nvidia drivers and i can't seem to get them back up :<
[22:35] <ikonia> nexsja: how did you update your kernel
[22:36] <nexsja> ikonia the lame way. downloaded a package and installed it.
[22:36] <airtonix> ...
[22:36] <ikonia> nexsja: where did you download a package from (nothing "lame" about that)
[22:37] <actionParsnip> nexsja, sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx-185 nvidia-glx-195 nvidia-glx-96; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[22:37] <TLF> how can I recall accesibility icon in GNOME?
[22:37] <actionParsnip> nexsja, them reinstall the driver
[22:37] <actionParsnip> nexsja, sounds like you used the .run file from the nvidia site rather than the one from the repos
[22:37] <nexsja> ikonia don't remember now, to be honest. viliny suggest that i download headers, image and source and install them. From kernel.org
[22:38] <ikonia> nexsja: kernel.org doesn't have "packages"
[22:38] <nexsja> actionParsnip i did download .run file from nvidia site, yes
[22:38] <nexsja> ikonia .deb files
[22:38] <agdoku> I am seeing a "RAID-1 Drive" in nautilus, what is this
[22:38] <airtonix> TLF, have you looked in your system menu yet ?
[22:38] <ikonia> nexsja: kernel.ubuntu.com ppa you mean ?
[22:39] <vow89> Hi! What would be the easiest way to set the output of some program (such as a media player) to register as a camera device in Linux?
[22:39] <agdoku> All my raid devices were detected and mounted correctly
[22:39] <agdoku> so what is that one?
[22:39] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: http://pastebin.ca/1816120
[22:39] <nexsja> yes, that one
[22:39] <agdoku> it tells me, that it is degraded
[22:39] <TLF> airtonix: found it, thank you veyr much├¦
[22:39] <ikonia> nexsja: why did you do that - it's totally not supported
[22:39] <nexsja> kernel.ubuntu/com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33/
[22:39] <actionParsnip> nexsja, you can install the driver using the driver on the repo
[22:39] <agdoku> but I don't see something like that in /proc/mdstat
[22:39] <Futki> how to schedule
[22:39] <Futki> reboot
[22:39] <Futki> ?
[22:39] <ikonia> actionParsnip: he can't - he's not using a supported kernel
[22:39] <airtonix> !enter | Futki
[22:40] <agdoku> how can I find out, which RAID drive this nautilus link refers to?
[22:40] <nexsja> ikonia well a person on this channel told me to :>
[22:40] <actionParsnip> nexsja, you will also find the driver recomnpiles using dkms every time you upgrade kernel, if you use the .run file you will have to reinstall it EVERY time you change kernel
[22:40] <ikonia> nexsja: what was the problem that this was supposed to fix ?
[22:40] <actionParsnip> ikonia, how do you mean?
[22:40] <oskar-> Futki:  "shutdown -r 42" reboots in 42 minutes
[22:40] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: unfortunately, nothing in lsusb -v appears to be a video device. :(
[22:40] <oskar-> Futki:  you can also give a time, or you can use "at" or cron
[22:41] <ikonia> actionParsnip: his kernel isn't from ubuntu.com's stable tree so the nvidia package isn't built against it
[22:41] <nexsja> ikonia at first i just lost my video drivers, then i've been asked have i recently updated my kernel, and i did. So i was told to download headers, source and image.
[22:41] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: that unnamed device is actually a "MEDION Drive-n-go"
[22:41] <nexsja> actionParsnip i think i'll stay away from updating kernel :<
[22:41] <actionParsnip> ikonia, ah i see
[22:41] <nexsja> actionParsnip i'll try that command of yours
[22:41] <airtonix> nexsja, don't suppose you read the readme that came with the nvidia drivers before all these questions ?
[22:41] <actionParsnip> nexsja, i would if you are not going to use the standard kernels
[22:41] <nexsja> airtonix i actually didn't find a readme file...
[22:41] <Futki> thanx oskar
[22:41] <ikonia> nexsja: I'll re-phrase that, a.) what was the problem you had that you updated your kernel to fix b.) why where you told to use a PPA ?
[22:42] <Futki> i mean dayli
[22:42] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: Oops, sorry!
[22:42] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: not a problem. but the simple answer is, /dev/video0 isn't showing up because it's not being detected by the USB core.
[22:42] <MalfermitaKodo> that'd be my pr0n^H^H^H file storage
[22:42] <airtonix> nexsja, (its also printed in plain text while you install the drivers) that the nvidia driver run file will handle headers etc for whatever kernel you have
[22:43] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: heh. yeah, the only devices in lsusb -v are root hubs and mass storage devices.
[22:43] <nexsja> ikonia at first i didn't had any problems. Then i found out that there was a new version of kernel released so i though i'd upgrade, and after a couple of days (today) after rebooting i've lost all the drivers
[22:43] <surf> ikonia, so what shall I do? I can't use this system in these conditions...
[22:43] <Futki> how to schedule reboot dayly at given time?
[22:43] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: so... how do you recommend me finding it?
[22:43] <ikonia> nexsja: ok - so that's your problem, you've picked an unstable/unsupported kernel for no reason, now your supported packages are failing
[22:43] <iceroot> Futki: cron
[22:43] <oskar-> Futki:  then use cron, e.g. add a line "37 13 * * * root reboot" to /etc/crontab to boot each day at 13:37
[22:43] <ikonia> nexsja: I strongly suggest you go back to stable packages
[22:43] <d3vin> i have tried for over 8 hours to install win xp after ubuntu with a bootable usb unsuccessfully,i get hal.dll is missing? my nfts partition is in /dev/sda3 how do i mapp this location to boot.ini? help
[22:43] <nexsja> ikonia okay, how do i do that now?
[22:43] <ikonia> surf: could always kill udev and update the bug report
[22:44] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: I'm really not sure; it may be physically *broken*, as lsusb should list even devices that don't have associated kernel modules
[22:44] <ikonia> nexsja: select the stable kernel from your grub menu and remove the newer one
[22:44] <oskar-> Futki:  see "man 5 crontab"
[22:45] <nexsja> ikonia some pointer on how to do that, please?
[22:45] <surf> ikonia, when I kill the process it just restarts!
[22:45] <ikonia> nexsja: boot your system, select the stable kernel from the menu, then open the package manager remove the newer kernel, then remove the ppa lines from your /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:45] <ikonia> nexsja: in future let ubuntu update manager suggest updates, the developers know better what is best to use
[22:45] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: tell you what -- try booting from the livecd of whatever release you're using, and check the output of lsusb there. see if there are any devices showing up for the livecd that aren't showing up now.
[22:45] <nexsja> ikonia i don't get any choices when i boot
[22:46] <ikonia> nexsja: great, so the old kernel was removed
[22:46] <nexsja> ikonia i sence sarcasm :))
[22:46] <ikonia> nexsja: remove the ppa lines from your sources.list and then install the current stable kernel from that repo
[22:46] <lovre> hi all
[22:46] <nexsja> ikonia k, will try that
[22:46] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: no liveCD here
[22:46] <lovre> i have a multipart zip archive, how do i unzip it?
[22:47] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: no means to download and burn one?
[22:47] <EmilyE> Hiya.  I've been tinkering for the past hour and a half trying to get my Microsoft Lifecam vx-700 working in tinychat, but no joy.
[22:47]  * GinoMan has to rebuild his kernel using ubuntu's kpkg tool
[22:47] <mcurran> that's because MS sucks
[22:47] <Futki> is there any oppourtunity to schedule reboot in webmin
[22:47] <EmilyE> I've at least gotten to where it shows the video and turns on the cam in preview mode, and permissions are set properly in flash...
[22:47] <nexsja> ikonia i don't have any ppa lines in sources.list
[22:47] <EmilyE> But as soon as the cam is selected to start broadcasting to the room, it turns off.  o.O
[22:47] <actionParsnip> lovre, unzip firstfile.zip
[22:47] <ikonia> !info kernel-image
[22:48] <ikonia> !info linux-image
[22:48] <EmilyE> Any ideas?
[22:48] <brjann> EmilyE: does it work for a few seconds and then stop?
[22:48] <ikonia> nexsja: can you show me the output of apt-cache policy linux-image in a pastebin please
[22:48] <Sensiva> Futki scheduled tasks?
[22:48] <mari> hola
[22:48] <brjann> !es | mari
[22:48] <EmilyE> brjann: Yes.  Sort of.  Like I said, when tinychat is prompting to select a cam, the cam turns on and shows the video in a little preview pane, then after it's selected, nothing.
[22:48] <mari> hello
[22:49] <actionParsnip> lovre, provided the other files are in the same dir it will work
[22:49] <hix3r> for DoTA, starcraft, would the open-source driver be enough or I need 8.04 for Catalyst drivers? I have X1600Pro
[22:49] <mari> hello
[22:49] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: no CD for it :/
[22:49] <oskar-> !ask | mari

[22:49] <nexsja> ikonia http://pastebin.ca/1816134
[22:49] <mari> holaaaaaaaaaaa
[22:49] <MalfermitaKodo> I can try going back to the pre-updated kernel where it was seen
[22:49] <lovre> actionParsnip: they are, but i get this error:Archive:  cr-xto0a.zip

[22:49] <ddilinger> Greetings.  Im trying to setup my laptop so i can access my home pc over the net without typing its full domain name(foobar.somehost.com, from a dyndns type thing).  I would prefer to just be able to type 'ssh me@home' instead of 'ssh me@foobar.somehose.com' every time, but not sure how to accomplish it.  I tried 'foobar.somehost.com home' in /etc/hosts but of course that doesn't like domain names, it wants ips :)
[22:49] <EmilyE> Lemme load up my tinychat site and give you the link so you can maybe reproduce the problem...
[22:49] <ikonia> nexsja: sudo apt-get install linux-image
[22:50] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: good idea. and if you can, pastebin the output of lsusb -v if another device shows up?
[22:50] <EmilyE> http://tinychat.com/tripeeemily
[22:50] <lovre> actionParsnip: sorry for multiline paste, here is pastie: http://www.pastie.org/847309
[22:50] <mari> he contestad
[22:50] <nexsja> hm, weird. Last time i've tried that it didn't work.
[22:50] <nexsja> installed now
[22:50] <lovre> actionParsnip: i only get those two files, but there are like 40 zip parts....
[22:50] <nexsja> ikonia now what do i do?
[22:51] <ikonia> nexsja: show me "uname -a" ?
[22:51] <oskar-> ddilinger:  add a line "search somehose.com" to the /etc/resolv.conf
[22:51] <nexsja> ikonia Linux leonard 2.6.33-020633-generic #020633 SMP Thu Feb 25 10:59:18 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[22:51] <actionParsnip> lovre, try opening the first one with fileroller etc. The right click menu should handle it
[22:51] <ikonia> nexsja: can you show me the output of "dpkg -l | grep kernel" in a pastebin please.
[22:51] <nullp0inter>  anyone know of any good xorg settings for device   "ATI Technologies, Inc. RV350 AR [Radeon 9600 XT]" ? my screen is a bit too bright, and not enough contrast
[22:52] <nexsja> ikonia http://pastebin.ca/1816140
[22:52] <MK13> is it possible to setup the ubuntu server on my lan to act as a captive portal, or does the router itself have to have that feature?
[22:52] <lovre> actionParsnip: im using Ark, no luck with that :(
[22:53] <ikonia> nexsja: sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-2.6.33-020633 linux-headers-2.6.33-020633-generic
[22:53] <LetsGo67> actionParsnip, problem solved, thanks.
[22:53] <ikonia> nexsja: and "sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.33-020633-generic"
[22:53] <LetsGo67> How do I auto-start DansGuardian as root?
[22:53] <EmilyE> Hmmm.  No ideas then?  I've added myself to the video group.  I've installed webcamstudio...
[22:53] <actionParsnip> LetsGo67, easy stuff huh, karmic can use the ppa address thing
[22:54] <nexsja> ikonia after i did that update-grub ran too, is that a good thing?
[22:54] <ikonia> nexsja: yup
[22:54] <FLOYD|Party> i'm trying to use teamspeak.  I used sh teamspeakXXXXXXXXXX.run, I accepted the license ageement, the terminal said uncompressing files, under download it see new files, but I don't know how to run ts.
[22:54] <LetsGo67> actionParsnip, what's ppa?
[22:54] <lovre> LetsGo67: put it in rc.local?
[22:54] <ikonia> nexsja: reboot and lets see what kernel boots
[22:54] <actionParsnip> LetsGo67, same ppa also has thunderbird if you want to suckle more from the mozilla teet
[22:54] <actionParsnip> !ppa | LetsGo67
[22:55] <LetsGo67> lovre: where is this file?
[22:55] <oskar-> MK13: to enforce it, a controlling device between the network and the controlled resource has to do it: the router, or maybe the server. the server could be configured as a bridge or as a router
[22:55] <brjann> EmilyE: if it's showing up during the preview, it's probably not a driver or permissions issue
[22:55] <lovre> LetsGo67: /etc/rc.local
[22:55] <LetsGo67> !rc.local
[22:55] <LetsGo67> thanks lovre
[22:55] <lovre> LetsGo67: np
[22:56] <nexsja> ikonia okay, booted up
[22:56] <MK13> oskar-, ok, thanks
[22:56] <EmilyE> brjann:  That's what I'm thinking too.  But it just disappears right after you choose it.  And then if you go to select source again, it doesn't come on again.
[22:56] <FLOYD|Party> how do you go back a folder in the terminal? cd.. doesn't seem to work
[22:56] <LjL> FLOYD|Party: try "cd .."
[22:56] <Entelin> i have a second drive running ext2, however most times when I boot I cannot see any files in the mount point for maybe 10 mins or so, and then it works fine.  Manually trying to mount it gives "mount: /dev/sdc1 already mounted or /mnt/data busy"   any idea what its doing?
[22:56] <ikonia> nexsja: uname -a ?
[22:56] <FLOYD|Party> thanks
[22:57] <brjann> EmilyE: well I just tried to create a room and enable a camera, and couldn't even get that far. but I know for a fact that my camera is set up correctly :)

[22:57] <brjann> EmilyE: so you might be running into an issue with tinychat and flash rather than your camera and ubuntu, unfortunately
[22:57] <oskar-> FLOYD|Party:  or stacked: pushd /path/to/folder; [do something]; popd; [back in the original folder]
[22:57] <Jeangleur> I need help for installing my camera with gspca - it obviously doesn't fit with the reacent kernel
[22:57] <ikonia> !info linux-image
[22:58] <ikonia> nexsja: you still have another development version on htere
[22:58] <nexsja> ikonia so i need to dump it too, right?
[22:58] <morph3k> anyone wanna help me get my magic mouse working on ubuntu
[22:58] <ikonia> nexsja: correct
[22:58] <zroysch> if i were to ctrl-c out of a fsck and restart it, will it mess anything up?
[22:59] <Jeangleur> it isn't easy... tried to compile gspca on my 2.6.31-19 but its full of errors
[22:59] <nexsja> ikonia sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.32-020632-generic linux-image-2.6.33-020633-generic ? (there was the last one too)
[22:59] <ikonia> ok
[22:59] <tribio> hi guys!
[23:00] <nexsja> ikonia another reboot?
[23:00] <ikonia> nexsja: yup
[23:00] <brjann> zroysch: it should be okay to interrupt fsck and restart it
[23:00] <shannonbrimer> hey i need some help fixing by graphics card
[23:00] <Jeangleur> after I patched it, I get this: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/397811/
[23:00] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: didn't help
[23:00] <Jeangleur> anyone keen?
[23:00] <anandre> Back with more Wine problems.  Did a fresh install of Ubuntu, dual-boot (next to Win 7), updated and everything, installed Wine, opened terminal and tried to run WoW via Wine.  However, I got a mess of error codes that I can c/p if needed (happened before), but now I also have an application titled World of Warcraft in my taskbar that I can't close (it's just a black screen with a part of the taskbar on it though).
[23:01] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: didn't show up for the old kernel either?
[23:01] <MalfermitaKodo> yup
[23:01] <shannonbrimer> or whats ever it is i need to fix to make my graphics work again
[23:01] <MalfermitaKodo> :{
[23:01] <garhol> anadre - try killall wineserver
[23:01] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: bummer. i'm out of ideas, then; i've never had to try to get a device to show up in lsusb :(
[23:02] <EmilyE> Well, thanks anyways.  I know it *can* tinychat from googling around and reading forum posts.  Their fixes just aren't working for me.
[23:02] <EmilyE> Guess I'll keep tinkering on my own then.
[23:02] <agdoku> do I risk to destroy some data, if I change the partition type of some of my raid member devices from "Linux" to FD? The raid is already setup and populated with data.
[23:02] <FLOYD|Party> if you want to run a app such as teamspeak, can you just double click the executable?  It doesn't seem to do anything...
[23:02] <zroysch> brjann: ok. do you know how to make fsck automatically press enter? i've bene holding the button down forever.
[23:02] <shannonbrimer> when i open my terminal all i get is white cant see what im doing and at the top right where the - square and x is on every tab like firefox and so on anit showing can some one help me
[23:02] <knasto> Does anyone know how to bring back the little envelope thing on the top right corner that shows when you are logged on to pidgin , etc?
[23:03] <brjann> zroysch: you mean to automatically fix errors?
[23:03] <garhol> anandre - you can probably also kill it with using top, then hitting k to kill and entering the process is of the wow window
[23:03] <zroysch> brjann: yes the default is yes, i have to press enter each time.
[23:03] <Dr_Willis> agdoku:  any time you have to think 'am i at risk' the answer is always best to assume YES. and be sure to have backups.. have backups anyway
[23:03] <nexsja> ikonia Linux leonard 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 01:26:53 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux, that's better, right?
[23:03] <ikonia> nexsja: much much better, well done
[23:03] <erUSUL> knasto: add back the indicator applet
[23:03] <Jeangleur> I need help with gspca. who knows?!
[23:03] <anandre> gardar, you lost me there.  I'm not all that good with Linux and am only running it because Windows Vista/7 refuses to boot for me.
[23:03] <Dr_Willis> knasto:  right clik on panel, add to panel. its one of the applets in there.
[23:03] <nexsja> ikonia so now i can install the new nvidia drivers?
[23:03] <brjann> zroysch: right. you can do   fsck -p   which performs an automatic repair with no questions, according to fsck --help
[23:03] <Dr_Willis> knasto:  it might be 'indicator applet'
[23:03] <ikonia> nexsja: why do you want new nvidia drivers ?
[23:04] <Jeangleur> work on it since 8 hours
[23:04] <agdoku> Dr_Willis: well, sure
[23:04] <Jeangleur> can't find help anywhere!
[23:04] <zroysch> brjann: thats what i thought but didnt see it in the man page. thanks
[23:04] <Dr_Willis> agdoku:  i had a hard drive die on me the other day right in the middle of the day. :(
[23:04] <agdoku> Dr_Willis: but changing the partition type does not really do anything but setting one byte of data
[23:04] <garhol> anandre: open a terminal, then type top and hit return. once it brings up a list look for wow. there will be an entry in the column PID. press k to kill, enter that PID number then Y for yes
[23:04] <brjann> zroysch: no problem
[23:04] <aedwards06> i need help with wireless drivers
[23:04] <knasto> Dr_Willis and erUSUL: thanks it was indicator applet.
[23:04] <nexsja> ikonia umm... Right. The same reason i've updated kernel -> now the best reason -> don't install new drivers.
[23:04] <nexsja> now=not*
[23:04] <zroysch> hmmm its taking a while to ctrl-c out of it
[23:05] <ikonia> nexsja: ok - so are we learning, blindly updating things for no reason causes pain ?
[23:05] <Dr_Willis> agdoku:  One way to find out I guess. :)  But i do hope you have backups.
[23:05] <aedwards06> i need help with wireless drivers
[23:05] <shannonbrimer> does anyone know what im talking bout
[23:05] <brjann> zroysch: yeah. i would wait ;)
[23:05] <nexsja> ikonia plenty of pain :<
[23:05] <agdoku> Dr_Willis: I don't
[23:05] <ikonia> nexsja: think about it, ubuntu/canonical has many many very clever people packaging up the best and "stable" software for people like yourself who are new to linux and not fully aware of it,
[23:05] <brjann> zroysch: fsck handles the interrupt command, but it's got to finish up what it's doing so it doesn't destroy your filesystem. :)
[23:05] <Dr_Willis> shannonbrimer:  try a differnt terminal program perhaps.  or check your settings for the gnome-terminal app.
[23:05] <nexsja> ikonia this is _not_ windows. No usesless updates.
[23:05] <ikonia> nexsja: seems sensible to trust them ?
[23:06] <shannonbrimer> idk how to
[23:06] <aedwards06> can anyone help with wireless drivers
[23:06] <zroysch> brjann: i fear its already destroyed. praying i at least get some of my music back. stupid md raid
[23:06] <gent> Good night
[23:06] <tiki> where's ubuntu help?
[23:06] <anandre> garhol, thank you for that.  Does anyone have experience running WoW under Wine?
[23:06] <ikonia> nexsja: if there is something worth updating for, bug/stability etc etc, update manager will tell you "there is an update available" because the developers have packaged it up for you
[23:06] <nexsja> ikonia well... There's one reason i've installed some 'untrusted' drivers -> it fixed 9.10 wireless problems :<
[23:06] <Dr_Willis> shannonbrimer:  sounds like somthing is goofed up badly however.   You could try alt-f2 and run a 'xterm'  if its installed

[23:06] <garhol> anandre: not wow, gfx card is too old but I run some steam apps
[23:06] <aedwards06> can anyone help with wireless drivers
[23:06] <ikonia> nexsja: and it may have introduced problems
[23:07] <brjann> zroysch: ouch, good luck
[23:07] <aedwards06> can anyone help with wireless drivers
[23:07] <Dr_Willis> !wireless | aedwards06
[23:07] <nexsja> ikonia it may, though untill that 9.10 was really a pain and i've even though about installing win7 :<
[23:07] <ikonia> aedwards06: leave it a few minutes between asking, try not to ask every 30 seconds please
[23:07] <aedwards06> thanks
[23:07] <ikonia> nexsja: not all hardware is compatible with linux, that's just a fact of life
[23:08] <tiki> How do I set up Skype to output through my USB headset instead of the default output (speakers?)
[23:08] <garhol> anandre: wow was gold under ubuntu 9.04. no reports for 9.10 yet -> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14154
[23:08] <anandre> garhol, so perhaps try to use 9.04 over 9.10 then?
[23:09] <nexsja> ikonia i think that was a developer error though, because 9.04 was cool with wireless, and when i did a little of googling i found out that 9.10 has serious wireless issues. Found a small fix and now everything's okay. By the way, ran nvidia-xconfig, rebooted gdm and now everything is back to normal.
[23:09] <nexsja> ikonia thanks, you really saved me here :)
[23:09] <garhol> anandre: it should really only be the wine version that affects it. 9.10 should be allright with wine 1.1.23
[23:09] <ikonia> nexsja: not a problem
[23:09] <hal9k2010> anybody with ubuntu  for PPC experience ?
[23:10] <anandre> garhol, which is what I'm using.  I tried to run it from the launcher and it might work - I got the log-in screen at least.  Will report more once I get somewhere.

[23:11] <agdoku> does changing a partition type actually change anything in the partition itself?

[23:12] <tiki> How do I set up Skype to output through my USB headset instead of the default output (speakers)?
[23:12] <JediMaster> got a weird network issue, I've got ADSL running at 12-13Mbps, can easily download at 1200 to 1300 kbytes/sec, works fine until I put a gigabit switch between the adsl router and the linux box and suddenly I get between 30 and 300 kbytes/sec max, I've tested this with two different brands of router AND gigabit switch, any ideas what's going on?
[23:13] <agdoku> oskar-: OK, I just want to change the type of some raid members to "raid autodetect". I would --stop the raid before I do so.
[23:13] <agdoku> oskar-: So I don't have to be worried about my data, do I?

[23:14] <futurama140> Can someone help me figure what video drivers i have?
[23:14] <agdoku> oskar-: reason being, nautilus seems to be confused by these partitions showing up as 83 "linux" partitions. It comes up with a mount option "raid-1 device"
[23:14] <oskar-> agdoku:  if you only change the type, you can change it back... but better have a backup, as always...
[23:14] <GeekSquid> JediMaster: is the switch a managed switch? it may have limitations on throughput per host

[23:14] <DocWiggles> i just finished installing ubuntu onto my xp machine, dual booting. right after the installation i restarted the system and GRUB loaded and i booted XP
[23:15] <DocWiggles> help
[23:15] <DocWiggles> then i restarted the system again and now its stuck at GRUB Loading
[23:15] <JediMaster> GeekSquid, both are pretty cheap makes but completely different (one is 8 port, other is 24 port)
[23:15] <DocWiggles> anyone here know how to fix this? im new to ubuntu
[23:15] <JediMaster> ADSL routers are both completely different makes and on different providers on different phone lines but both are 12-13Mbps
[23:16] <Typos_King> DocWiggles:    does Grub show the installed system menu?
[23:16] <DocWiggles> right after restarting from installing ubuntu yes but the second restart it just GRUB loading
[23:16] <DocWiggles> and nothing else
[23:16] <DocWiggles> at first i was able to select which os to boot
[23:17] <GeekSquid> JediMaster: could also be a cable thing, sounds strange to me, although as ADSL doesn't provide more than 100mbps, perhaps trying a 100mbps switch might help too
[23:17] <DocWiggles> the second restart's just stuck there
[23:17] <LetsGo67> Thanks!  Ciao!
[23:17] <Logomachist> Help? I somehow knocked out my Internet while trying to set up a file server (while following the instructions at http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-home-fileserver-p3 - only I'm working with Ubuntu desktop and the instructions assume you're using Ubuntu server- don't know if that matters). Anyway, now the little networking icon has a red X on it and instead of listing availiable networks under "wired network" it says "device not ma
[23:17] <Typos_King> DocWiggles:    how about a 3rd reboot?
[23:17] <JediMaster> GeekSquid, 100Mbps switch works fine
[23:18] <DocWiggles> still stuck
[23:18] <brjann> DocWiggles: equally importantly, did you do anything between the first reboot, when it worked, and the second, when it didn't?
[23:18] <JediMaster> GeekSquid, I've tried conencting the adsl router to a 100mbps switch to the gigabit switch to the linux box (which is gigabit) and same result
[23:18] <oskar-> Logomachist:  have you made entries for that device in /etc/network/interfaces?
[23:19] <DocWiggles> nope nothing, after installing ubuntu i restarted the system then GRUB loaded and i booted to xp to check if everything's still there and i restarted again and now its just stuck
[23:19] <DocWiggles> there
[23:19] <DocWiggles> GRUB Loadin.
[23:19] <GeekSquid> JediMaster: but on the 100mbps switch it works... I think you have a really crappy gbit switch or 2 of them ... or again a cable thing .. are you using Cat6?
[23:19] <NimbleRabit> does anybody know of an ftp client I can use with ubuntu that does multiple threads for single files?
[23:19] <Typos_King> DocWiggles:    ... I'd think something might have happened before you shutdown the 1st time.. you can try doing a 'fsck' on the *nix partition, from the live-cd
[23:20] <DocWiggles> ok ima try that rightnow
[23:20] <Typos_King> NimbleRabit:   isn't gFtp multi-threaded?
[23:20] <d3vin> has anyone ever succeeded in installing xp as a second os after ubuntu? cause im in hal.dll hell! help
[23:20] <JediMaster> GeekSquid, yeah it works from the router(s) to the 100mbps switch to the linux box, but as soon as you add the gigabit switch(es) in it crawls, no, they're running on cat5e

[23:24] <m4j> were does it install it at
[23:25] <Typos_King> NimbleRabit:   ... I don't use it.. though it is advertised as such :|

Some of these issues may be also because of me using broa
[23:25] <bcj> I've had really bad luck with wireless cards in Linux; can someone recommend a decent wireless card/chipset that has WPA support?
[23:26] <garhol> anadre: can you alter the setting on the launcher? perhaps a lower res. or non-fullscreen?

[23:26] <MBaer> Atheros Chipset WAN cards are the best
[23:26] <anandre> garhol, I'll give that a try.
[23:26] <DocWiggles> what do i do with -> sudo fsck /dev/sdb2 type it where?
[23:26] <oskar-> xci:  network-manager and its graphical interface like nm-applet work quite well
[23:26] <bcj> bitsmart: What's wrong with doing a simple fstab entry?
[23:26] <MBaer> DocWiggles in a Terminal
[23:26] <anandre> Nope.  Hitting options greys out most of the Launcher screen and it becomes non-responsive.
[23:26] <Typos_King> xci:   ... .I use nm-applet which is gnome network manager ^_^
[23:27] <oskar-> (this was very different in the beginning ;-) )
[23:27] <bcj> DocWiggles: At the command line.
[23:27] <DocWiggles> ok so in the terminal type: -> sudo fsck /dev/sdb2  right?
[23:27] <nathan_> hello every time i login i get an error message saying the fast user switcher applet has failed. Also, my volume control doesn't load. When I go to add panel I can't add those exact items back. I've tried creating a new user and then logging in but the same applets are missing. I've also tried gnome-applets --reload and they still do not load but in the output there is not error
[23:27] <bcj> Yes
[23:27] <DocWiggles> ite
[23:27] <Typos_King> DocWiggles:    in the console/terminal - >then reboot
[23:27] <futurama140> is there any program in ubuntu like the task manager in windows? to kill processes and such?
[23:27] <bcj> DocWiggles: You have to make sure that drive isn't mounted though.
[23:27] <bitsmart> bcj: here is my fstab entry /dev/sda1    /media/Media    ntfs-fuse    auto,gid=1001,umask=0002    0    0
[23:27] <xci> oskar-: Typos_King: it seems that my nm-applet does not do anything, or then it should be started with some extra flags :/
[23:27] <m4j> where do i go to open unetbootin
[23:27] <oskar-> futurama140:  top
[23:27] <DocWiggles> what drive
[23:27] <anandre> futurama140, top from terminal is what I've been using.
[23:27] <xci> I tried it a couple of times
[23:28] <futurama140> TY
[23:28] <LjL> !info gnome-system-monitor | futurama140
[23:28] <bitsmart> bcj: but the howto I was following also mentioned a command to test it without having to reboot, and the modprobe failed then
[23:28] <bcj> bitsmart: Have you tried a reboot?
[23:28] <oskar-> xci:  nm-applet normally paints an icon in some bar on the graphical screen and reacts on mouse clicking it
[23:28] <m4j> where do i go to open unetbootin
[23:28] <Typos_King> xci:  doesn't do anything?
[23:29] <bitsmart> bcj: hehe not yet, I will try. brb
[23:29] <Typos_King> xci:  you mean, you don't have a connection to connect to or missing drivers for your network
[23:29] <anandre> garhol, would I be looking at some kind of hardware issue with all these problems?  When I had the computer checked out, I was told it's probably a software issue (this was re: Windows not booting, but with the problems trying to run Wine...),  but this is frustrating beyond belief.
[23:29] <Typos_King> futurama140:   you could use xkill or -> http://tldp.org/LDP/LG/issue19/gx/ayers/qps.gif   <-- qps is in the repositories
[23:30] <nyaa> hey, is there a way to change the notification system so when I turn up the volume it won't un fullscreen a flash video?
[23:30] <futurama140> I just did "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx" and its installed, here is my xorg.conf, how do i put them in there?
[23:30] <futurama140> http://pastebin.com/QZs6JbbN
[23:31] <oskar-> futurama140:  see "man xorg.conf"
[23:31] <garhol> anandre: wine can be a little tempremental but there's a possibility it's a hardware issue. I wouldn't like to hazard a guess as the two could be related but there's nothing that jumps out straight away.
[23:32] <oskar-> futurama140:  and there "DEVICE SECTION"
[23:32] <garhol> anandre: the launcher launching would indicate that wine is working but it sounds like the problem arises when dx9 kicks in and the game starts properly
[23:32] <knasto> Does anyone here scrobble with Rhythmbox?
[23:33] <xci> Typos_King: it seems it just starts and does not do anything - how should I proceed from there?
[23:33]  * Typos_King uses audacious for playbacks
[23:33] <anandre> Maybe it's time to call the hardware people up.  Thanks for the help garhol.
[23:33] <xci> should it start something graphical or so?
[23:33] <Logomachist> oskar: I believe I have... checking to be sure
[23:33] <Typos_King> xci:   .... well... what's the original issue?
[23:34] <garhol> anandre: no prob, sorry I couldn't help more
[23:34] <oskar-> Logomachist:  maybe you want to deactivate (comment out) them?
[23:34] <xci> Typos_King: I have a driver, I am now using gnome and it works
[23:34] <Typos_King> xci:      nm-applet will when clicked, show all available wireless connections, choose one

[23:34] <xci> Typos_King: but I cannot use it from ion
[23:34] <xci> or other similar wms
[23:35] <xci> or when I write nm-applet, it does not start anything
[23:35] <xci> or starts, but does not pop up a window
[23:35] <Typos_King> xci:   means... isnot  installed it seems
[23:35] <Typos_King> xci:    what .. window manager are you using?
[23:35] <Typos_King> xci:   usually nm-applet sits on the wm tray, assuming it has one
[23:36] <devx> hey everyone! this is my first time on this channel, just loaded Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my system, any thing special I need to make sure I set, what type of security is avail for this distro?
[23:36] <xci> Typos_King: now I am using gnome and nm-applet on gnome and on ion3 when I start it, it does not seem to do anything
[23:36] <oskar-> xci:  perhaps ion does not have the tray, where a program like nm-applet registers and paints its icon. you should then use an alternative interface to network-manager (i don't know, which exist)
[23:36] <Typos_King> xci:   so, is loading then.. is just .. 'grayed out'?
[23:36] <xci> oskar-: it has, but maybe I have something screwed up there - I'll check

[23:42] <mawst> what's the trigger IdleOne ?
[23:42] <spiffythekid> michel: qu'est que vous cherchez?
[23:42] <Zus> hello everyone
[23:42] <IdleOne> mawst: cat/foo/bar | pastebinit
[23:43] <mawst> Seems broken
[23:43] <Typos_King> MBaer   and?    to create a partition on the XP section?   so that means he'd be tossing the xp install or... he wants to  resize it... or... if not careful he'd lose the xp installation
[23:43] <IdleOne> mawst: hmm, I havent used it in a while. Report a bug on launchpad.net
[23:43] <Dr_Willis> pastebinit command was broke last week - due to pastebin site changes
[23:44] <Agent_X> Gparted doesn't see the disk as having any partitions (allocations).
[23:44] <MBaer> Well the Partition was create - He Shrunk the size of the XP install then create a new partition. Not the Grub Loader is giving a Error 17 on boot up
[23:44] <mawst> Ah yup looks like someone beat me to it IdleOne. https://bugs.launchpad.net/pastebinit/+bug/526428
[23:44] <baz> i want a 4 char password for my kubuntu system but it says it is too short, is there a gui to change the password policy?
[23:44] <Dr_Willis> shrinking/recreating partions can change the UUID of the partiions
[23:44] <Typos_King> MBaer     what about the ubuntu installation, did it ever go through?
[23:45] <MBaer> @Typos - All the Partitions are still there, Grub is just not seeing them...
[23:45] <Typos_King> k
[23:45] <Dr_Willis> baz:  you could use the passwd command to set it  - Im not sure it checks that  Or it may just warn
[23:45] <MBaer> @Typos - Win XP and Ubuntu were already installed and running
[23:45] <MBaer> before the partition was createdd

[23:46] <Agent_X> any help?
[23:47] <carl> I've just installed 9.10 on a toshiba p35-s60 and when I go to full screen with the browser, (or anything for that matter), screen goes black.

[23:47] <Wubuntu>  / #cairo-dock
[23:47] <carl> What could cause that?
[23:47] <tharok> yes but its automaticly goes back when I reboot
[23:47] <baz> Dr_Willis, it worked, thank you
[23:48] <Dr_Willis> tharok:  it makes sence that it does come on.. if you had a bluetooth keyboard/mouse - it would suck if it dident. :)

[23:49] <MBaer> Does it matter what live cd or does it have to be a Ubuntu?
[23:49] <Typos_King> MBaer:   YOURDEVHERE will of course be ... /sda1 or whatever is where ubuntu is at
[23:50] <Typos_King> MBaer:   I don't think it matters that much, no
[23:50] <Typos_King> since chroot will use the chroot'ed system update-grub anyway

[23:55] <GeekSquid> ubottu says If you need to run graphical applications as root, use ┬½ gksudo ┬╗, as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)

[23:55] <bonez2046> how can I find the version of the most recent ubuntu package for an application, i.e., I see that for WinXP, firefox now has version 6 out, as well for linux in tarball.. what is the latest ubuntu package though?
[23:55] <zpoe9> What is the easiest way to use video output from a media player (such as Totem) as a video input source (i.e., accessable via XawTV or some other program looking to capture video 'input'). Basically I need a video output stream to register as a video input source just like a webcam.
[23:56] <hamza>  no system devices (partitions, usb, cd/dvd drive) are showing in my nautilus, but they show in disk utility.  now im just wondering if it's hopeless and i have to reinstall...
[23:57] <MBaer> @Typos_King - Hey, I ran the Update-Grub command and it popped up a Package Configuration window - Says "A new version of /boot/grub/menu.lst is available, but the version installed currently has been locally modified" Then it give 7 option.
[23:58] <trism> bonez2046: there are a variety of ways to upgrade to the latest firefox listed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion
[23:58] <bonez2046> trism: I realize I can get the latest tarball, but I want to make sure I don't break my system too..
[23:59] <spiffythekid> what are the folders that commands are stored in, usr/bin is one, what are others?
[23:59] <trism> bonez2046: tarball is one way, but there are several other ways (easiest is probably with the firefox-stable channel ppa)
