[00:00] <TeamColtra> is there a way for me to get the default setttings of Pulseaudio back to default?
[00:00] <NewWorld> TeamColtra:  If there are config files in your  home directory, delete them to get the default settings regenerated.
[00:00] <dsnyders> blakkheim, When I last built a machine, the cpu choices were either Pentium 3, or AMD.  Today there is such a bewildering array of choices for CPUs and motherboards, that I don't really have a clue where to start.
[00:00] <cyberbluntz> erUSUL, do you know some prompt  commands for a fedora dist?
[00:00] <donvito2> how can i get color motd on ubuntu ?
[00:00] <donvito2> how can i get color motd on ubuntu ?
[00:00] <NewWorld> donvito2:  What isi motd?
[00:01] <TeamColtra> NewWorld, in a folder like .pulseaudio?
[00:01] <donvito2> mesage of the day
[00:01] <blakkheim> dsnyders: oh wow, then you might want to do a bit of reading in order to make sure everything works together (or just ask me and i'll tell you)
[00:01] <NewWorld> TeamColtra:  Yeah, but  make sure to backup first just in case.
[00:01] <Guest87077> like when i open foxfire its slow as shit and i have a pretty good internet connection and like when i put a flash drive into it it willl not open
[00:01] <dsnyders> Losha, I'm opening up a browser to newegg as we speak.
[00:01] <blakkheim> "foxfire" lol
[00:01] <aouldr78> hi everyone
[00:01] <NewWorld> donvito2:  Where does it display? Terminal? Zenity?
[00:01] <donvito2> terminal

[00:01] <Guest87077> firefox my bad lol
[00:01] <donvito2> lets say this shell companys have that motd color
[00:02] <NewWorld> blakkheim:  xD
[00:02] <dsnyders> blakkheim, I have a historical leaning towards Intel, but I've heard AMD is better and cheaper.
[00:02] <Losha> dsnyders: also the same trick will work with ebay: search for ubuntu motherboard etc....
[00:02] <blakkheim> dsnyders: i'm an intel guy

[00:02] <ubuntu> my system got shut down due to power failure and now i get grub error 17..can anyone help me solve this issue
[00:02] <alex87> does anyone know how i can make diff tell me just what lines have been added or changed in the new file?
[00:02] <Solar_Flare> Guest87077: If you use ubuntu from flashdrive, it WILL be slow.
[00:02] <Guest87077> how to do that i am a noob?
[00:02] <Solar_Flare> no matter what.
[00:02] <dsnyders> blakkheim, I've heard Asus makes good linux compatible motherboards, but that they've been slipping lately.
[00:03] <NewWorld> Guest87077:  type '/nick [yournewnick]' << and don't messages I send :P haha joking
[00:03] <aouldr78> i need help about normal and safe mode
[00:03] <blakkheim> dsnyders: i like asus motherboards, haven't had any trouble with linux on them. it's really just the chipset that you need to check if it's compatible with linux (sound, NIC, etc)
[00:03] <aouldr78> how can i switch fron safe mode to normal mode
[00:03] <Guest87077> '/nick kingshadow
[00:03] <NewWorld> ubuntu:  It's better if you google that problem and come here with specific issues or hindrances that you encouter so we may solve them for you.
[00:04] <rmrfslash> change your runlevel

[00:05] <Lxndr> I recently installed ubuntu through the wubi. I downloaded "updates" and now, instead of booting into the gui, I boot into a cli that says "GNU GRUB version 1.97~beta4". I can't figure out how to get from here to the gui. Can anyone help?
[00:05] <TheColtra> Okay that still doesn't work... "Output Devices" in volume control still shows that there should be sound (the sound bar is moving with the volume) buuuut, nothing is coming out, this happened after I set my speakers to play over HDMI
[00:05] <MindVirus> Can someone please help me kill maximus?
[00:06] <TheColtra> MindVirus, "killall maximus" ?
[00:06] <aouldr78> i just installed ubuntu 9.10 from live ISO image CD  i had to choose safe mode. the installation is fine. but after reboot i only have safe mode.
[00:06] <NewWorld> Lxndr:  When it says that, does pressing Enter/Escape do anything? Anything else showing apart from that msg?
[00:06] <kingshadow> well i got a 60gb ps3 with ubuntu linux installed thats about all i know
[00:06] <Solar_Flare> MindVirus: killall maximus?
[00:06] <subspider> where is the conf file for my webcam ??
[00:06] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: It starts up again.
[00:06] <Solar_Flare> for ever: gconf-editor
[00:06] <NewWorld> aouldr78:  How do you know it's safe mode?
[00:07] <Lxndr> NewWorld: I get this message: [Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device/file completions. ]

[00:07] <Solar_Flare> in apps, there should be a folder called "maximus", there you can configure it.
[00:07] <Lxndr> Below that is:  "sh:grub>"
[00:07] <TheColtra> MindVirus, find the process ID and kill it
[00:07] <Lxndr> if I hit enter, I get "sh:grub>" again
[00:07] <Solar_Flare> or tell it, which windows to "maximize" and which not.
[00:07] <NewWorld> Lxndr:  You should try pressing 'b' for 'boot'
[00:07] <|ntegra|> can someone tell me how to search for songs by their album-id3-tag?

[00:08] <MindVirus> TheColtra: killall maximus kills every PID with process "maximus".

[00:08] <Solar_Flare> |ntegra|: Write a python script?
[00:08] <NewWorld> aouldr78:  Maybe it's not safe mode :S BUt just messed up?
[00:08] <dsnyders> Losha, is newegg a mail order only shop?  The locations page only lists one site in California.
[00:08] <stdisease> Lxndr, http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Wubi_9.10
[00:08] <TheColtra> MindVirus, it has worked for me in the past... I don't know why it does it differently, but I have had the same issue (not with that program)
[00:08] <Losha> dsnyders: yes, newegg is mail order only....
[00:09] <kingshadow> so how can u install linux on the new slim ps3 120 gb
[00:09] <Solar_Flare> MindVirus: http://albertsq.blogspot.com/2008/09/maximus-configuration.html
[00:09] <rmrfslash> So no one knows the answer.... good.
[00:09] <MindVirus> TheColtra: I promise killall is identical to kill.
[00:09] <_ting__> excume guys, anyone know how i can run using a wine a windows application that needs .Net 3 ?
[00:09] <Solar_Flare> rmrfslash: no question proposed?
[00:09] <stdisease> _ting__, join #winehq and ask for help
[00:09] <dsnyders> Losha, Ah.  Okay.   That might be one reason I've never seen one of their stores.  I thought it was a US only thing.
[00:09] <Lxndr> stdisease: thanks.
[00:09] <stdisease> Lxndr, y/w common problem
[00:09] <rmrfslash> ^^
[00:09] <_ting__> thank stdisease
[00:10] <Losha> dsnyders: where are you?
[00:10] <Imaginativeone> how do I get to the grub menu?
[00:10] <Imaginativeone> BEFORE boot?
[00:10] <aouldr78> i have Intel Core i3 and the graphic is not compatible with linux 2.6.31-20 generic. because it freezes all the time
[00:10] <rmrfslash> I already killed the goddamn installer
[00:10] <mclark1128> I am trying to install grub legacy on my ubuntu 9.10 setup, and I get the error "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device."
[00:10] <NewWorld> Lxndr:  Maybe try this, as it sounds the entries in your menu.lst are messed up: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087
[00:10] <gaetano> hello to all
[00:10] <blakkheim> aouldr78: you need the 2.6.33 kernel
[00:10] <Lxndr> stdisease: would it behoove me to just give up on wubi and get myself a standard install?
[00:10] <rmrfslash> this has been like this since I can remember
[00:10] <rmrfslash> basically you have to have a internet connection to install Ubuntu Server (and probably Ubuntu)
[00:11] <stdisease> rmrfslash, easy on the language
[00:11] <aouldr78> i tried lucid but it is not stable yet
[00:11] <rmrfslash> there's no way to tell it not to try and grab shit from synaptic
[00:11] <rmrfslash> sorry
[00:11] <rmrfslash> anyways
[00:11] <dsnyders> Losha, Toronto, Ontario Canada.  (Well technically, Scarborough).
[00:11] <tiemonster> I have a Acer TravelMate 2200 with Windows wireless driver installed via ndiswrapper. I can connect to router if there is no wireless security, but when I put WPA on, I cannot connect. Any ideas?
[00:11] <gaetano> i have a garmin edge 705
[00:11] <aouldr78> i always get kernel crashes
[00:11] <MindVirus> Does anyone know how to make maximus stop autostarting when killed?
[00:11] <stdisease> Lxndr, that would probably be best, because wubi install has disk overhead trying to access a loopback image on a NTFS partition
[00:11] <gaetano> which software can i use with ubuntu 9.10?
[00:11] <rmrfslash> there's no way to tell it to not grab *stuff* from synaptic
[00:11] <rmrfslash> gaetano: ??????

[00:11] <jaybhumil> hi

[00:12] <rmrfslash> what kind of question is that?
[00:12] <jaybhumil> do u kno
[00:12] <gaetano> it's not so easy for me
[00:12] <NewWorld> MindVirus:  Run 'ps -eH' and see what it's parent process is
[00:12] <kingshadow> how do you install linux for the ps3 slim 120gb
[00:12] <jaybhumil> how to get bills?
[00:12] <NewWorld> jaybhumil:  what is 'bills'?
[00:12] <gaetano> i use ubuntu since two months
[00:12] <jaybhumil> for this website
[00:12] <Imaginativeone> how do I get to the grub menu?
[00:12] <Solar_Flare> MindVirus: Did you take a look at the link i sent you?
[00:13] <dsnyders> MindVirus, Emperor Commodus had problems killing Maximus as well :-)
[00:13] <NewWorld> rmrfslash:  What don'tn you want it to grab? It's grabbing it because it's trying to update it?
[00:13] <Losha> dsnyders: slickdeals has a 'build your own' forum where you can fill out a form and ask for recommendations: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?sduid=136927&t=553826

[00:13] <NewWorld> Imaginativeone:  It should be right after the BIOS startup screen when you start up your PC.
[00:13] <Tiders> Problem
[00:13] <rmrfslash> i.e. I'm trying to install it w/o an internet connection
[00:13] <tiemonster> rmrfslash: then set it not to automatically download updates
[00:13] <dot-slaSh> k
[00:13] <aouldr78> i tried sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core and sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but that is not helping yet.
[00:13] <rmrfslash> it just blew through to the installation process
[00:13] <NewWorld> rmrfslash:  It does it automatically?! You mean without you doing anything?
[00:14] <Tiders> What can I do to get Ubutnu to recognise when I plug headphones in
[00:14] <rmrfslash> I don't even remember even being presented w/ an option to install updates or not
[00:14] <dsnyders> Losha, that sounds interesting.  I'll take a look at that.
[00:14] <Lxndr> stdisease: too bad. I was hoping to be able to do a clean install without burning a CD.
[00:14] <tiemonster> NewWorld: *look* for updates
[00:14] <aouldr78> i even did sudo apt-get remove compix*
[00:14] <kingshadow> how do you install linux on the ps3 slim 120gb?
[00:14] <NewWorld> tiemonster:  What do you mean?
[00:14] <Solar_Flare> kingshadow: wrong channel.
[00:14] <resolver>  i tried many ways of solving grub error 17 but i am not able to do it...can anyone help me
[00:14] <tiemonster> NewWorld: it's not installing them. Just showing them.
[00:14] <rmrfslash> why do people on here ask the weirdest non-ubuntu related questions
[00:15] <rmrfslash> like "how do I install linux on a ps3"
[00:15] <stdisease> Lxndr, if you have a usb drive you could make a bootable install media
[00:15] <Imaginativeone> NewWorld: I keep getting Invalid Environment Block
[00:15] <kingshadow> what channel show i go on?
[00:15] <rmrfslash> ubuntu is not a mips distro
[00:15] <NewWorld> tiemonster:  That's the behaviour I had aswell. rmrfslash : Are they just being shown? Or auto-installing?
[00:15] <mclark1128> I have completely wiped out my /boot partition in Ubuntu, what files does this partition need to properly function?  How can I restore this partition to it's original setup?
[00:15] <vianocturna85> can u format a partition or delete it and add it to an existing ubuntu partition at all? like with windows?
[00:15] <blakkheim> rmrfslash: the ps3 uses a ppc64 cpu
[00:15] <stdisease> !ps3 | kingshadow
[00:15] <aouldr78> does anyone know how to switch from safe mode to normal mode from the shell???????
[00:16] <rmrfslash> oh I was thinkgin psp
[00:16] <rmrfslash> oh well
[00:16] <NewWorld> Imaginativeone:  I'm not sure, maybe you'll have to reinstall GRUB: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087
[00:16] <blakkheim> aouldr78: there is no "safe mode" in linux, that is a windows term
[00:16] <rmrfslash> still
[00:16] <Losha> dsnyders: also, consider buying off-the-shelf locally (make sure there's a good return policy)....
[00:16] <stdisease> heh yeah not mips anymore
[00:16] <kingshadow> oh ok
[00:16] <Solar_Flare> kingshadow: like ps3 or linux? I dont know, but #ubuntu is definitely NOT the channel for such questions.
[00:16] <NewWorld> vianocturna85:  You can merge them as long as they are adjacent to each other.
[00:16] <rmrfslash> NewWorld: I think it just started installing
[00:16] <MindVirus> NewWorld: It's gnome-session.
[00:16] <MindVirus> dsnyders: Any advice?
[00:16] <kingshadow> thanks
[00:16] <Imaginativeone> NewWorld: thanks!
[00:16] <aouldr78> safe mode = safe graphic= no acpi
[00:16] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: I saw. Doesn't change anything and is just a workaround. :(
[00:16] <seanbrystone_> Anyone have issues with blurry images in Opera 10.10?
[00:16] <dsnyders> blakkheim, So... do you recommend picking a chipset, then finding a motherboard that uses that chipset and then seeing which cpus it can take, or starting with the CPU and then motherboard?
[00:16] <rmrfslash> it detected I have a network connection I think and said "ok... we can just install updates then" but my connection is a EVDO connection
[00:16] <subspider> yes but my webcam is upside down i need to where is the conf file for my webcam plz
[00:17] <resolver> can anyone help me solve this grub error 17 issue
[00:17] <Solar_Flare> MindVirus: Or: sudo apt-get remove maximus.
[00:17] <vianocturna85> ok, well these are, 1s ntfs though, but i wanna make that ext4 and merge it, but grub is not in the first partition, does that matter?
[00:17] <NewWorld> MindVirus:  Maybe go to Start > System > Preferences > Sessions and deselect it there.
[00:17] <rmrfslash> Or I suppose I should say CDMA
[00:17] <subspider> and plz don't use !webcam i tryed that
[00:17] <blakkheim> dsnyders: if you want to do heavy stuff like running multiple virtual machines, i would get either a core i5 or core i7 cpu with a P55 motherboard
[00:17] <NewWorld> revolver:  It's better if you google that problem and come here with specific issues or hindrances that you encouter so we may solve them for you.
[00:17] <TeamColtra> Okay houston, I think I have a bigger problem now
[00:17] <blakkheim> dsnyders: it depends on how much power you need and how much cash you got
[00:17] <dsnyders> MindVirus, No advice.  I have no idea what maximus is.
[00:18] <TeamColtra> :P my computer is not even seeing my internal audio since I reinstalled... it only sees my HDMI port
[00:18] <sam555> how does one find the shell in 9.10 ubuntu?
[00:18] <Lxndr> stdisease, too bad I don't have any flash drive. wait, hold on
[00:18] <blakkheim> sam555: /bin/bash
[00:18] <Losha> dsnyders: see the questionnaire on the slickdeals thread? It's there for a reason....
[00:18] <NewWorld> sam555:  Start > Accessories > Terminal
[00:18] <rmrfslash> anyways I gotta go
[00:18] <resolver> NewWorld; i tried out in google...i tried with different solutions...but not working...got an important assignment and i got stuck with this problem
[00:18] <OttifantSir> 9.10, Dell Inspiron 9400 with Stereo and Subwoofer/LFE. How do I change the volume of the LFE? Up until 9.04 it was just selecting Main/PCM and LFE with Ctrl and it was solved, but how do I do this in 9.10?
[00:18] <stdisease> Lxndr, if your wubi setup is fixed and you're not dissatisfied with it, by all means keep it
[00:18] <sam555> blakkheim: thanks!
[00:18] <tiemonster> I have a Acer TravelMate 2200 with Windows wireless driver installed via ndiswrapper. I can connect to router if there is no wireless security, but when I put WPA on, I cannot connect. Any ideas?

[00:19] <Guest96990> how to install from the pen drive in the virtual box
[00:19] <Guest96990>  anyone please
[00:19] <NewWorld> resolver:  Do you think reinstalling GRUB will help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087
[00:19] <Solar_Flare> MindVirus: "sudo apt-get remove maximus" should do the job.
[00:19] <NewWorld> tiemonster:  Maybe you need to install 'wpa_supplicant'
[00:19] <Solar_Flare> Guest96990: Get VirtualBox PUE and mount usb stick.
[00:19] <blakkheim> dsnyders: then yeah, i5 or i7 depending on your money
[00:19] <Lxndr> stdisease, to be honest, I'm not all that happy with it. And I think I just found a crappy little usb stick
[00:19] <mclark1128> Is there anyone who can help me repair my /boot partition?
[00:20] <Solar_Flare> mclark1128: whats wrong with it?
[00:20] <NewWorld> mclark1128:  What you mean repair? fsck is used to repair filesystem errors.
[00:20] <aouldr78> this is my graphic information: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Arrandale Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12)
[00:20] <MindVirus> Can't do that, Solar_Flare. I need ubuntu-netbook-remix.
[00:20] <tiemonster> NewWorld: thanks. I'll look into it. I just needed a starting point at least. I've never heard of this happening.
[00:20] <dsnyders> blakkheim, okay.
[00:20] <mclark1128> NewWorld: I formatted it
[00:20] <blakkheim> aouldr78: you need a newer kernel for better support of that
[00:20] <Lxndr> stdisease, it's 128mb. why do I feel like that isn't enough?
[00:20] <vianocturna85> tiemonster: what do the log files tell you?
[00:20] <Solar_Flare> MindVirus: I told you how to disable maximus or how to uninstall it. one of these two its gonna be.
[00:20] <tiemonster> vianocturna85: which log files?
[00:20] <NewWorld> mclark1128:  So what do you want done with it? What is there to repair?
[00:20] <seanbrystone_> Anyone have issues with blurry images in Opera 10.10?
[00:20] <Solar_Flare> There is no other option if you want to get rid of maximus
[00:20] <aouldr78> the lucid one is working fine but it is not stable yet
[00:20] <vianocturna85> tiemonster: for connecting, have u tried looking at the logs?
[00:21] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: I don't want to get rid of it.
[00:21] <MindVirus> Just want to stop it from autostarting.
[00:21] <stdisease> Lxndr, I think there are netinstall media, they might just fit on your 128mb
[00:21] <Losha> seanbrystone: for what it's worth, you're the first person I've seen ever mention this issue...
[00:21] <mclark1128> NewWorld: Basically I screwed it up while trying to install grub-legacy, and now I am unable to install grub-legacy
[00:21] <Solar_Flare> MindVirus: Then, what do you want?
[00:21] <stdisease> !netinstall > Lxndr
[00:21] <NewWorld> MindVirus:  Was it not in the 'Sessions'?
[00:21] <tiemonster> vianocturna85: which ones?
[00:21] <MindVirus> NewWorld: It was but I don't want the process to be run.
[00:21] <donvito2> why i cant use this command in MOTD UPTIME=`uptime|awk '{print $3 " " $4 " " $5 " hours"}'`
[00:21] <dsnyders> Losha, I've only skimmed through the site at this point.
[00:22] <mclark1128> NewWorld: Actually, let me clarify.  I have installed grub, only I messed it up and when I try to boot I get the error:
[00:22] <Solar_Flare> MindVirus: You dont want the process but you want maximus but you dont want maximus?? o.O
[00:22] <vianocturna85> tiemonster: click on System> Administration> Log File Viewer

[00:22] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: I want maximus, but I don't want the procses.
[00:22] <Losha> mclark1128: I suppose a backup would be too much to expect....?
[00:22] <MindVirus> *process.
[00:22] <stdisease> ewww grub-legacy
[00:22] <mclark1128> Losah: yes
[00:22] <Solar_Flare> MindVirus: Without process there is no maximus.
[00:22] <blakkheim> stdisease: better than grub2 in my opinion
[00:22] <aouldr78> can i reinstall the newest kernel and run with Ubuntu 9.10?
[00:22] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: What the hell are you saying?
[00:22] <blakkheim> aouldr78: you'd need to compile it yourself
[00:23] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: You're saying that if the process is not run, the package is removed?
[00:23] <mclark1128> stdisease: I only tried to switch because for some reason I started running into the problem where grub2 would constantly restart
[00:23] <NewWorld> resolver:  So sorry, this is the right thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[00:23] <mclark1128> and then need to be restored, only to be restarted again
[00:23] <seanbrystone_> Losha, I found out it was because i had "Turbo" turned on in Opera, that made blurry images (im assuming its compressing the images or something)  :)
[00:23] <donvito2> why i cant use this command in MOTD UPTIME=`uptime|awk '{print $3 " " $4 " " $5 " hours"}'`

[00:23] <jbsdpt>  /j #nstbsd
[00:23] <aouldr78> i can compile it but will it be working fine with Karmic?
[00:23] <NewWorld> Imaginativeone:  Sorry, I pointed to t he wrong thread earlier. Here is the right one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[00:23] <blakkheim> aouldr78: if you configure it properly
[00:24] <Solar_Flare> MindVirus: No, I say, that if the process is not executed, there is no maximus.
[00:24] <resolver> NewWorld; ok thank you i'll work on this
[00:24] <sernylan> From the standpoint of open source drivers, do you suppose development attention on newer generation GPUs is to the benefit or expense of the previous generation?
[00:24] <Losha> seanbrystone: that's probably how they make it faster, by skimping on the image rendering...
[00:24] <Imaginativeone> thanks I WAS LOST
[00:24] <aouldr78> can you explain more please?
[00:24] <seanbrystone_> yeah
[00:24] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: I see. I want the process not to run but I certainly want the package.
[00:24] <dsnyders> blakkheim, money won't likely be an issue.  However, the more expensive, the longer it will take before I scrape the funds together.
[00:24] <Losha> mclark1128: try the usual grub restore rigmarole...
[00:24] <Losha> !grub | mclark1128
[00:24] <Solar_Flare> MindVirus: so you want  aswitch for maximus.
[00:24] <mclark1128> Losha: I can't
[00:24] <sam555> in 9.10 if you want vlc to be choosen as an option for media players to browse to, how do you do such?  I've already installed vlc.
[00:24] <donvito2> why i cant use this command in MOTD UPTIME=`uptime|awk '{print $3 " " $4 " " $5 " hours"}'`
[00:24] <donvito2> why i cant use this command in MOTD UPTIME=`uptime|awk '{print $3 " " $4 " " $5 " hours"}'`
[00:24] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: I want to kill maximus.
[00:24] <mclark1128> Losha: I mean, I've tried
[00:25] <stdisease> donvito2, err? I thought motd was a simple text file dumped directly to terminal
[00:25] <Solar_Flare> -.-
[00:25] <mclark1128> Losha: This is the current error I'm getting when I try to grub-install while chrooted to my ubuntu partition
[00:25] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: What I'm saying makes sense.
[00:25] <Chicco89> ciao a tutti
[00:25] <mclark1128> Losha: "Could not find device for /boot: NOt found or not a block device"
[00:25] <blakkheim> !it | Chicco89
[00:25] <Solar_Flare> MindVirus: gconf-editor.
[00:25] <mclark1128> Googling this issue led me to run grub
[00:25] <resolver> NewWorld; i that link you provided: find /boot/grub/stage1...i get output: file not found
[00:25] <Solar_Flare> Disable resizing of windows.
[00:25] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: You don't know what you're talking about.
[00:25] <Solar_Flare> then maximus will lay dorment.
[00:25] <mclark1128> and then from grub i did the root (hda0, 4) and setup (hd0)
[00:25] <Chicco89> ok, I'm sorry
[00:26] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: That is read if maximus is run.
[00:26] <jdeloach> Could someone with expertise in multi-graphic card use help me? I have two ATI cards and struggle to get them both at the sametime.
[00:26] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: I want maximus NOT TO BE RUN.
[00:26] <Solar_Flare> MindVirus: Uninstall it.
[00:26] <MindVirus> Every time I kill it, it starts back up.
[00:26] <Losha> mclark1128: and which device is /boot on?
[00:26] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: Nevermind; forget I asked.
[00:26] <mclark1128> sda2
[00:26] <NewWorld> resolver:  You can reinstall GRUB anywhere, though it's easier if you install on your Ubuntu partition.
[00:26] <Solar_Flare> MindVirus: You want to use maximus "occationally" or what?
[00:26] <kota> Hi
[00:27] <vianocturna85> Solar-Flare: Mindvirus makes total sense, or if you don't want to totally delete it, remove it from Startup
[00:27] <NewWorld> hi kotaro
[00:27] <bethlynn> hello there
[00:27] <resolver> NewWorld; ok i'll google out that then
[00:27] <kota> i am having trouble with apache tomcat6 installation on ubuntu
[00:27] <duncanidaho1> Using kubuntu 9.10 I can't seem to connect wirelessly to my home wireless connection or to unpassworded hotspots.  I can (and currently am) connected via ethernet cable
[00:27] <MindVirus> vianocturna85: It's not in my startup applicatinos.
[00:27] <MindVirus> *applications
[00:27] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: I want to kill the damn process.
[00:27] <Losha> mclark1128: I presume you've tried grub-install /dev/sda2 ?
[00:27] <mclark1128> duncanidaho: Are you able to connect wirelessly at all?
[00:27] <kota> can anyone tell me how to log into the webapp
[00:27] <OttifantSir> Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Inspiron 9400 with Stereo and Subwoofer/LFE-speakers. How do I change the volume of the LFE? Up until 9.04 it was just selecting Main/PCM and LFE with Ctrl in Sound Preferences and it was solved, but how do I control the LFE volume in 9.10?
[00:27] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: That's it.
[00:27] <_ting__> hi
[00:28] <mclark1128> Yes, and I get the same error
[00:28] <TeamColtra> 6y7u89o0p[']
[00:28] <mclark1128> but my MBR is actually sda
[00:28] <Solar_Flare> MindVirus: UNINSTALL THE PACKAGE "maximus" and only that if you dont want maximus ever again. I did that on my netbook
[00:28] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: As I said, forget anything I said.
[00:28] <Losha> mclark1128: which live cd are you using?
[00:28] <vianocturna85> Mindvirus: open a terminal, type 'top' without the quotes, look at Maximus, and there is a number before it at the beginning of the line...note that, then type 'kill <number>'
[00:28] <NewWorld> mclark1128:  setup (hd0) << installs GRUB to the MBR
[00:28] <jdeloach> Could someone with expertise in multi-graphic card use help me? I have two ATI cards and struggle to get them both at the sametime.
[00:28] <MindVirus> vianocturna85: I know what I'm doing. I killed the process many times.
[00:28] <_ting__> could anyone help me with this: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[00:28] <_ting__>   nvidia-glx-195-dev: Depends: nvidia-glx-195 (>= 195.36.03) but it is not going to be installed wine: Depends: wine1.2 but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[00:28] <mclark1128> Ubuntu 9.10
[00:29] <_ting__> I tried to run the apt-get -f install but nothing
[00:29] <mclark1128> I also should point out that my /boot partition is essentially blank, except for any files grub added to the /boot/grub directory
[00:29] <mclark1128> Which I think is another major factor in the problem I'm having
[00:29] <NewWorld> _ting__:  Try install wine first?
[00:29] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: I want to do something. You're telling me to do something else that will accomplish what I want but also will cause a huge list of unneeded side-effects.
[00:29] <vianocturna85> Mindvirus: this is a stab in the dark here, but have you tried...just to test, restarting the pc...i know this isnt windows, but it wouldnt hurt
[00:29] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: So, stop saying it please.
[00:29] <mclark1128> I tried to basically copy the files from the /boot directory on the livecd to the one on my hdd, but I don't think it's the same.
[00:30] <_ting__> no, i just want to install wine, but the nvidia is giving me a problem
[00:30] <Losha> mclark1128: 9.10 uses grub2. I don't think you can use it to install a legacy grub. Didn't you say you were trying to install grub1 ?
[00:30] <MindVirus> vianocturna85: I will try other methods for now.
[00:31] <duncanidaho1> @mclark1128 no
[00:31] <vianocturna85> Mindvirus: It just makes no sense, its not in your startup, killing doesnt work...
[00:31] <Solar_Flare> MindVirus: write a bash script, that kills maximus at startup. last solution.
[00:31] <dsnyders> MindVirus, If you go to a terminal and do service maximus status, what happens?
[00:31] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: Look. Killing maximus makes it open again, so something is monitoring the process.
[00:31] <NewWorld> mclark1128:  root (hd?,?) <<< where first '?' is the number of the hard drive (start counting at 0) and the second '?' is the number of partition (start counting at 0)
[00:31] <MindVirus> Solar_Flare: That means that I can change something in the process monitor.
[00:31] <NewWorld> mclark1128:  But that has to be done in GRUB
[00:32] <MindVirus> dsnyders: One second.
[00:32] <stdisease> MindVirus, what's this maximum anyway.. if it's a system service try to disable with update-rc.d
[00:32] <MindVirus> dsnyders: Unrecognized service.
[00:32] <fcn> weather applet acts weird. it shows correct values for all cities except the one I live in!
[00:32] <dsnyders> stdisease, maximus is a utility that opens all windows maximized.
[00:32] <Solar_Flare> stdisease: it maximizes the windows in the netbook remix.
[00:32] <Solar_Flare> so you have more windowspace ^^
[00:32] <NewWorld> _ting__:  Install that nvidia package then :)
[00:32] <MindVirus> dsnyders, stdisease: It is not a service, I don't think.
[00:32] <MindVirus> It has to do with gnome-session.
[00:33] <jdeloach> Could someone with expertise in multi-graphic card use help me? I have two ATI cards and struggle to get them both at the sametime.
[00:33] <MindVirus> It's definitely not a service, actually.
[00:33] <holmser> I am trying to set up a home mail server, and I'm almost there, but courier won't let me log in
[00:33] <dsnyders> MindVirus, might it hook into compiz?
[00:33] <mclark1128> NewWorld: Good news, I just tried the restart after running the grub cmds root (hd0, 0) setup (hd0) and I'm back up and running again!
[00:33] <MindVirus> dsnyders: It is unrelated.
[00:33] <NewWorld> MindVirus:  Did you disable it in 'Sessions'?
[00:33] <MindVirus> NewWorld: It's not there.
[00:33] <holmser> it keeps telling me that I have an incorrect password, even though I have verified it in the mysql database
[00:33] <resolver> NewWorld; when i run: setup (hd0)  i get output: Cannot mount selected partition
[00:33] <mclark1128> Losah: Thanks to you as well, now the only problem is getting my windows 7 install to appear on the menu, and to some
[00:33] <mclark1128> Losha*
[00:33] <holmser> anyone feel like helping me troubleshoot?
[00:34] <mclark1128> !ask | holmser
[00:34] <NewWorld> mclark1128:  I'm glad... but the commands I told you should be issued when you go into terminal and run 'grub' as a command. :S
[00:34] <mclark1128> NewWorld: They were, while chrooted to my drive inside the livecd
[00:34] <NewWorld> resolver:  Are you running from LiveCD or the actual Ubuntu installation?
[00:34] <resolver> NewWorld; live cd
[00:34] <NewWorld> mclark1128:  That's good so it works? :)
[00:34] <NewWorld> MindVirus:  You said it _was_ in sessions.
[00:34] <MindVirus> dsnyders, stdisease, NewWorld, Solar_Flare: I found this file /etc/xdg/xdg-une/autostart/maximus-autostart.desktop.
[00:34] <_ting__> NewWorld,  Errors were encountered while processing:
[00:34] <_ting__>  /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx-195_195.36.03-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa2_i386.deb
[00:34] <_ting__> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[00:35] <MindVirus> NewWorld: I said it was owned by gnome-session.
[00:35] <mclark1128> NewWorld: Yes, now I just need to get my Win7 partition on the menu
[00:35] <NewWorld> mclark1128:  edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:35] <mclark1128> With grub2 I had it nice and hooked up to only show the latest kernel on the menu as well
[00:35] <stdisease> MindVirus, huh xdg - shouda known
[00:36] <duncanidaho1> I have ubuntu 9.10 installed everything is up and running great.  So I thought I'd give KDE a try.  I installed it, everything seems to be great but getting a wireless connection.  I can see signals that are broadcast but I cannot get connected (in KDE, in Gnome it still works)
[00:36] <MindVirus> stdisease: I have no idea what that is.
[00:36] <mclark1128> Is it possible to make grub graphical, or is that an entirely separate installation?
[00:36] <NewWorld> resolver:  wow that is really weird that it can't install to the MBR! :O I'm not really sure what to do now :/
[00:36] <NewWorld> mclark1128:  What you mean graphical? GRUB is menu loader... X server isn't running then.
[00:37] <NewWorld> *well it's not exactly a 'menu loader'
[00:37] <mclark1128> NewWord: I thought there was some way to have a graphical bootloader, but perhaps not
[00:37] <jabba-wok> like an idiot, i accidentally rm -rf /usr/local/lib/libcurl* any suggestions? :( i'm on ubuntu-hardy
[00:38] <NewWorld> _ting__:  Try t oinstall that deb package with dpkg directly. Read the man page on the parmater that you need to issue to install the .deb
[00:38] <mclark1128> It certainly serves it's purpose, I just wanted check if I could somehow get a nice prettier looking version.
[00:38] <NewWorld> jabba-wok:  reinstall libcurl?
[00:38] <PingFloyd> jabba-wok: reinstall the package
[00:38] <fcn> does anyone know the name of the weather applet that nearby clock
[00:38] <MindVirus> fcn: "clock".
[00:38] <Sylphid|netbook> jabba-wok, sudo apt-get install --reinstall libcurl
[00:38] <duncanidaho1>  I have ubuntu 9.10 installed everything is up and running great.  So I thought I'd give KDE a try.  I installed it, everything seems to be great but getting a wireless connection.  I can see signals that are broadcast but I cannot get connected (in KDE, in Gnome it still works)
[00:38] <MindVirus> fcn: It's all one applet.
[00:39] <NewWorld> MindVirus:  So did you move the maximus.desktop file?
[00:39] <fcn> thanks MindVirus
[00:39] <PingFloyd> sounds like it was curl installed from upstream source pkg
[00:39] <MindVirus> NewWorld: More inspection is needed before I can do that.
[00:39] <Losha> mclark1128: there are splash screens for grub, but I don't use them myself....
[00:39] <jabba-wok> i did an aptitude reinstall libcurl
[00:39] <jabba-wok> but that didn't seem to help
[00:39] <NewWorld> MindVirus:  Move it and reboot. You don't lose anything since it's backed up wherever you moved it.
[00:39] <NewWorld> jabba-wok:  What's the problem though?
[00:40] <mclark1128> Losha: I just came across the 'pretty colors' option in menu.lst and uncommented it
[00:40] <holmser> holy dear sweet baby jesus.  I just sent my first email from my mail server
[00:40] <mclark1128> I'll see if that helps at all ;)
[00:40] <jabba-wok> i'm trying to do a pip install pycurl
[00:40] <MindVirus> NewWorld: But, I don't want to stop it from autostarting when a netbook session is started.
[00:40] <NewWorld> holmser:  :D
[00:40] <jabba-wok> and that errors out
[00:40] <MindVirus> NewWorld: So, wait.
[00:40] <holmser> now if only I could connect through imap
[00:40] <Soul_Sample> holmser: and what did jesus reply?
[00:40] <jabba-wok> apt-get install --reinstall libcurl --> E: Couldn't find package libcurl
[00:40] <dsnyders> MindVirus, There is a site i'm looking at that says to go to System>Preferences>Sessions.   It also mentions something called ume-launcher.  The site is http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009_01_01_archive.html and the section is about 2/3 of the way down.  It says you have to restart gdm afterwards.
[00:40] <NewWorld> MindVirus:  You are very picky in what you want done lol :P
[00:40] <holmser> he told me "good job, go kill someone"
[00:40] <stdisease> holmser, lucky you, I have smtp blocked in & out
[00:40] <duncanidaho1>  I have ubuntu 9.10 installed everything is up and running great.  So I thought I'd give KDE a try.  I installed it, everything seems to be great but getting a wireless connection.  I can see signals that are broadcast but I cannot get connected (in KDE, in Gnome it still works)
[00:40] <Soul_Sample> holmser: ah so, the usual
[00:41] <PingFloyd> jabba-wok: apt-cache search libcurl
[00:41] <Losha> mclark1128: might wanna cp -r boot boot.save just to be safe...
[00:41] <PingFloyd> jabba-wok: the repo pkg may have a slightly different name
[00:41] <holmser> exactly.  or maybe it was "start a holy war"
[00:41] <NewWorld> jabba-wok:  Go into synaptic and search for 'libcurl' it propably  has some suffix or smth
[00:41] <MindVirus> NewWorld: Yep.

[00:42] <ronnie> I installed xmms2 and then promoe now promoe wont play mp3's. can anyone help? fyi im not very bright
[00:42] <BluesKaj-Laptop> duncanidaho1, network manager is flaky , if you run wicd on most laptops with kde on karmic your wifi should work. Installing wicd disables network manager
[00:43] <Purpley1> Hey guys im trying to recover a bunch of my music from a corrupt partition, how can I recover them? Scalpel isnt for music, the directory will contain .wav .flac .mp3 .wma and common music formats like that what should I use?
[00:43] <NewWorld> ronnie:  Does it not make a sound... or does it not react when you press play (like the seeker doesn't move)
[00:43] <jabba-wok> whenever i use apt-get or aptitude, i always get this error .. can i ignore it? or should i fix it ? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/w5qiuzuq
[00:43] <ronnie> NewWorld It doesnt do anything when i push play
[00:43] <IdleOne> !recover > Purpley1
[00:43] <OttifantSir> Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Inspiron 9400 with Stereo and Subwoofer/LFE-speakers. How do I change the volume of the LFE? Up until 9.04 it was just selecting Main/PCM and LFE with Ctrl in Sound Preferences and it was solved, but how do I control the LFE volume in 9.10?
[00:44] <NewWorld> Purpley1:  Don't try and fix the filesystem errors before recovering... you could lose things. R-Linux is a very good program though it runs only on Windows.
[00:44] <Losha> Purpley: what kind of filesystem is it?
[00:44] <NewWorld> ronnie:  Since when has it been doing that? Did it work before?
[00:44] <duncanidaho1> @BluesKaj-Laptop: will installing it affect my connection when in Gnome?
[00:44] <ronnie> NewWorld I just installed linux and promoe for the first time today
[00:44] <Purpley1> NewWorld, I thought scalpel theres nothing worth saving.....its all corrupt minus a few ebooks and magazines qhich ive already backed up
[00:45] <NewWorld> ronnie:  promoe?
[00:45] <neezer> If I get a PCI NIC will it be able to max out gigabit LAN? or will the PCI buffer slow things down?
[00:45] <dsnyders> jabba-wok, I think this is something you should fix.  I don't know if apt-get is finishing it's work when you install something.
[00:45] <lucas_> excuse me, can somebody point me to a help channel where i can get some advice on restoring my grub (after several failed attempts)?
[00:45] <NewWorld> Purpley1:  So you don't wnat to recover?
[00:45] <Purpley> Losha, FAT32 and Im on the ubuntu link durrr Im asking for some recommendations for those file types
[00:45] <ronnie> NewWorld yes promoe as an xmms2 client
[00:45] <NewWorld> lucas_:  Here if you're trying to get Ubuntu to work
[00:45] <BluesKaj-Laptop> duncanidaho1, not in my experience , wicd works fine with most ubuntu desktops
[00:45] <lucas_> yes i am
[00:45] <tiemonster> vianocturna85: keeps saying link timed out
[00:46] <jabba-wok> i did a pip install setuptools, and that succeeded. so i dont know why apt-get and aptitude is still complaining about that python package
[00:46] <Purpley> NewWorld,  I would like to recover my music yes, its about 50 or so gigabytes if that might be a problem
[00:46] <NewWorld> ronnie:  Does it play MP3 files without the frontend? Like does it play in CLI?
[00:46] <lucas_> actually its mint, based on ubuntu, that ok too?:)
[00:46] <ronnie> NewWorld I am running kubuntu if that makes a difference
[00:46] <jpds> !mint | lucas_
[00:46] <NewWorld> Purpley:  Yeah use R-Linux... there's another one.. but I forget it's name.
[00:46] <duncanidaho1> @BluesKaj-Laptop:  ok so i just installed wicd, then I typed in sudo wicd
[00:46] <ronnie> NewWorld it will play mp3's in amarok
[00:46] <Purpley> NewWorld, I don't have windows on my computer I just wiped it off :/
[00:47] <KeLeMo> somebody know how i do to auto-connect my ADSL with start my Linux (sorry for sux english)
[00:47] <lucas_> okok il'll try mint channel, but its just a GRUB question actually
[00:47] <OttifantSir> lucas_: Or #grub
[00:47] <NewWorld> Purpley:  Search for 'Hiren's BootCD' it has a 'Live Windows XP' boot off that.
[00:47] <tiemonster> vianocturna85: also, "association request to the driver failed"
[00:48] <NewWorld> lucas_:  Okay I don't mind helping.
[00:48] <NewWorld> lucas_:  *trying to help
[00:48] <BluesKaj-Laptop> duncanidaho1, alt f2 wicd-client
[00:48] <Purpley1> NewWorld, I would rather a program for linux
[00:48] <NewWorld> ronnie:  Does XMMS2 play MP3 _from CLI_... without using the Promoe frontend?
[00:48] <jdeloach> Does anybody know a quick fix or tempoary fix to the "radeon(0): acceleration initilization failed" error? How to turn it off or anything ( using the ati driver in xorg )
[00:48] <PingFloyd> jabba-wok: sounds like your pip install clobbered your system
[00:48] <mclark1128> Is there anyone who could explain to me what chainloading is in grub?  Also, how can I determine the number I need to chainload +X to get my windows 7 partition?
[00:48] <ronnie> NewWorld hold on i will try
[00:48] <NewWorld> Purpley1:  I don't know of any :/ does it not mount?
[00:49] <fcn> if i run "killall gnome-panel" does it resurrect by himself?
[00:49] <MindVirus> fcn: Yes.
[00:49] <jabba-wok> PingFloyd: what do you mean? shall i get pip to uninstall that package?
[00:49] <Sensiva> mclark1128 chainloading in grub is loading another bootloader via grub
[00:49] <Purpley1> It mounts fine NewWorld its just all my music folders have bizzare symbols like hold on ill show you
[00:49] <lucas_> well its after installing lousy windows 7
[00:49] <mclark1128> Sensiva: Then what does the +1 mean?
[00:49] <lucas_> first i tried restoring grub through the program autosupergrubdisk
[00:50] <lucas_> which didnt work
[00:50] <NewWorld> Purpley1:  Can you copy over an mp3 to a healthy partition and try playing it?
[00:50] <jdeloach> Does anybody know a quick fix or tempoary fix to the "radeon(0): acceleration initilization failed" error? How to turn it off or anything ( using the ati driver in xorg )
[00:50] <ronnie> NewWorld no it doesnt play from the cli
[00:50] <Purpley1> α⌐1c┴áαú.? ┌
[00:50] <lucas_> then i made a supergrubdisk with uunetbootin (because i dont have a working cd drive)
[00:50] <Purpley1> NewWorld, There are none
[00:50] <BluesKaj-Laptop> mclark1128, chainloading lists windows or OSs on different partitions on your HDD
[00:50] <dsnyders> mclark1128, I'm not sure, but I think chainloading is what you do when you are loading  something that does it's own boot process.
[00:50] <Sensiva> mclark1128 I don't know, usually when chainloading Windows OSs bootloader we do it that way
[00:50] <NewWorld> lucas_:  Excellent tut that worked for me everytime GRUB broke: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[00:50] <lucas_> and it booted fine
[00:50] <Purpley> NewWorld, I also can't delete anything or rename anything so I must not have write access either
[00:51] <Purpley> even though it is mounted
[00:51] <NewWorld> Purpley1:  I don't know of any recovery tools on Linux :S sorry
[00:51] <lucas_> but when i selected my linux partition to restore it gave an error
[00:51] <mclark1128> Sensiva: Ok, the reason I'm asking is because the chainload +1 is putting me into the dell diagnostic partition
[00:51] <NewWorld> Purpley:  Mount with '-o rw' option to get read/write
[00:51] <mclark1128> So I'm just trying to figure out how to determine what + will get me to my Win7 partition
[00:51] <stdisease> It's been a while but I think parted-magic has some recovery stuff inside
[00:51] <mclark1128> is there a way I can figure that out from fdisk -l?
[00:51] <Sensiva> mclark1128 then you are booting the wrong partition
[00:51] <lucas_> so i rebooted to try another method in the supergrubdisk menu
[00:51] <lucas_> so i booted from usb
[00:51] <mclark1128> sensiva: Yes :)
[00:52] <Sensiva> mclark1128 which version of grub?
[00:52] <NewWorld> ronnie:  Did it play MP3 files before pomore was installed? Does it play any other formats apart from MP3?
[00:52] <mclark1128> .97
[00:52] <lucas_> but this time instead of booitng from that usb, it just threw me to my regular grub
[00:52] <airtonix> !enter | lucas_
[00:52] <mclark1128> 0.97 that is
[00:52] <fcn> does clock applet get weather data from weather.com? if not where does?
[00:52] <lucas_> and when i selected my linux there it just gave me 'not found'
[00:52] <Sensiva> mclark1128 backup your current /boot/grub/menu.lst file then generate a new one using sudo update-grub
[00:52] <lucas_> oops sorry, i didnt want to make it too long
[00:52] <NewWorld> lucas_:  Excellent tut that worked for me everytime GRUB broke: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[00:52] <ronnie> NewWorld I didnt try it before. I installed them at the same time. I will try another type of file
[00:53] <OttifantSir> !offtopic > OttifantSir
[00:53] <sam555> I don't want media player to be my only default.  How do I get vlc to be my default player in Ubuntu 9.10?
[00:53] <airtonix> lucas_, no worries you succeded in distributing your 'long' message amongst the million other messages in this channel making it even harder to read for anyone that might be able to help you
[00:53] <NewWorld> OttifantSir:  Disciplined enough to punish yourself?! :O
[00:53] <PingFloyd> mclark1128: chainload just means passing on the booting process from one bootloader to another
[00:53] <neezer> If I use sudo useradd -d /home/user -m user, what group will 'user' be in, and can I create him so that sudo with that user will not work?
[00:53] <Purpley1> Guys, are there anyone programs out there that can recover music from a corrupted partition like flac and mp3?
[00:53] <sam555> i figured it out
[00:54] <lucas_> ok long story short: if i try to boot from my usb now (cd drive doesnt work), instead of booting up grubdisk, it throws me to my usual GRUB, ben if i select my linux there, it says 'not found'
[00:54] <sam555> i just downloaded the file and right clicked to add it
[00:54] <sabgenton> what is the command to rebuild device.map
[00:54] <NewWorld> Purpley1:  Type of file shouldn't really matter.
[00:54] <OttifantSir> NewWorld: I have been here earlier, and I know this is for support, not chat.
[00:54] <Sensiva> sam555 in menu Systems --> Preferences --> Preferred Applications then assign your favourite player in Multimedia tab
[00:54] <ronnie> NewWorld it doesnt play avi files
[00:55] <dsnyders> Purpley, there is a program called testdisk that does a good job of recovery.
[00:55] <airtonix> lucas_, so how come you didn't use the usb boot disk creator in the ubuntu live cd ?
[00:55] <Purpley1> NewWorld, Yes it does
[00:55] <NewWorld> ronnie:  I thought xmms2 was for audio playback only? how about ogg files? Those are supported by default, without extra codec packages.
[00:55] <Sensiva> lucas_ rename the current grub list of your installation then boot from USB
[00:55] <PingFloyd> mclark1128: only one bootloader can use the mbr, so if you have a situation where you need to use a different bootloader than the one installed in the mbr, that is where chainloading comes in.  The bootloader using the mbr passes the boot onto a bootloader installed elsewhere like to on installed in a partition for instance.
[00:55] <ronnie> NewWorld All I have is mp3 and a couple avi files
[00:55] <lucas_> first of all i cant boot cd's cause my cd drive is broken
[00:56] <m0ar> I can't see why I'm not able to activate the propretairy driver in Hardware Drivers?  It just says "This driver is activated but nor currently in use" Any tips?
[00:56] <airtonix> lucas_, use another computer
[00:56] <Purpley1> I dont need to recover a partition neccesarily I just want some files off it
[00:56] <jdeloach> Could someone look over my xorg.0.log for me? I think there is a problem with it trying to do two monitors on one output.
[00:56] <lucas_> so you suggest i make a new bootable usb drive with a live cd?
[00:56] <stdisease> xmms2 -> audio only, client-sever architecture, fine GUIs: esperanza, lxmusic...
[00:56] <airtonix> lucas_, mainly because you'll end up using software thats supported here in this channel
[00:56] <mclark1128> so now I just need to figure out where "x" is on my (hd0, x) menu entry
[00:56] <NewWorld> ronnie:  I'm not sure :/ maybe you'll have to examine it's configuration file.
[00:57] <NewWorld> mclark1128:  Count the partitions, they start at 0. For example in Gparted.
[00:57] <NewWorld> mclark1128:  In Gpartedd, from left to right.
[00:57] <PingFloyd> mclark1128: sda1 would be (hd0,0) for instance
[00:57] <lucas_> thats a point, but if it doesnt let me load my usb drive now (it just throws me to my grub where nothing works anymore), it probably wont let me load the usb drive with something else on it either
[00:58] <m0ar> I can't see why I'm not able to activate the propretairy driver in Hardware Drivers?  It just says "This driver is activated but nor currently in use" Any tips?
[00:58] <stdisease> I thought partitions started with 1
[00:58] <mclark1128> gotcha, and I think that sda3 is my win7 partition
[00:58] <mclark1128> so.. hd0, 2
[00:58] <PingFloyd> mclark1128: sdc3 would be (hd2,2) and so on
[00:58] <jdeloach> Could someone look over my xorg.0.log for me? I think there is a problem with it trying to do two monitors on one output.
[00:58] <Sensiva> mclark1128 don't think, be sure
[00:58] <ronnie> NewWorld thats probably over my head one day into linux. I will try to utfse about the config file real quick. u seem to be a busy man
[00:58] <mclark1128> Sensiva: I'm sure that sda3 is my win7 partition :)
[00:58] <NewWorld> lucas_:  You have to change your boot order... when you start the computer. Look for an 'Fxx' shortcut, where x is a digit. And press it to let you boot from USB first
[00:59] <NewWorld> ronnie:  utsfe? I'm not too busy  haha
[00:59] <Sensiva> mclark1128 then you are good to go, Good luck! :D
[00:59] <stdisease> mclark1128, I'm sure it becomes (hd0,3) in grub2, grub-legacy may be different
[00:59] <lucas_> thats what i do, i explicitly select boot from usb, but it just goes around that somehow and gives me the GRUB on my hard drive :s
[00:59] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  Post pastebin link.
[00:59] <ronnie> NewWorld use the fucking search engine.
[00:59] <shane_> hey all, anyone know how to check and see what video driver your using on buntu?
[00:59] <NewWorld> ronnie:  I could tell you the same thing.
[00:59] <lucas_> thats what freaks me out and why i came her ein the first place
[01:00] <NewWorld> ronnie:  I thought it was a typo.
[01:00] <Sensiva> shane_ /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:00] <NewWorld> lucas_:  Did you make the LiveCD with Unetbootin?
[01:00] <shane_> Sensiva it says command not found
[01:01] <lucas_> yes i made the liveUSB with unetbootin
[01:01] <m0ar> I can't see why I'm not able to activate the propretairy driver in Hardware Drivers?  It just says "This driver is activated but nor currently in use" Any tips?
[01:01] <Sensiva> shane_ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | more
[01:01] <mclark1128> Well thanks for everyone's help, I'm off to try and finish things up!
[01:01] <jdeloach> NewWorld: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/388638/ look specificially at how radeon(0) and radeon(1) are using the same outputs on the card.
[01:01] <NewWorld> lucas_:  Hmmm you could try a different version of Ubuntu to  make the Live CD
[01:01] <Trinity33> no woman no cry no woman no cry say say i remember when we used to say to sit
[01:01] <Trinity33> In the government yard in Trenchtown Oba, ob-serving the hypocrites .... no woamn no cry anyone know whos song its ?
[01:01] <lucas_> thats what ill try tomorrow
[01:02] <NewWorld> Trinity33:  Bob marley
[01:02] <Sensiva> lol
[01:02] <NewWorld> :D
[01:02] <Trinity33> i still love him:)
[01:02] <rww> ubottu: ot | Trinity33
[01:02] <lucas_> or maybe ill just buy an external usb dvd-reader so i dont have this trouble with making liveUSBs all the time
[01:02] <Sensiva> lucas_ make sure your computer support booting from USB
[01:03] <lucas_> it does
[01:03] <lucas_> i did it millions of times
[01:03] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  That's a huge xorg file that I am scared to debug lol. Nah I don't think I'm experienced enough for dual card xorg config sorry :P
[01:03] <lucas_> just after the failed supergrubdisk attempt it circumvents the usb boot
[01:04] <shane_> says I have a radeon 9200 card, but when I try to install FGLRX with hardware drivers it doesnt give me the option to install it, and it says Im using xorg driver?? anyone know how I can install fglrx or radeon
[01:04] <BichoGRILO> hi
[01:04] <NewWorld> hey
[01:04] <Purpley1> Guys wish me lukc im going to try to recover my stuff on a corrupt partition with foremost ;)
[01:04] <NewWorld> GL :)))
[01:04] <major_redhat> goodlouck Purpley1
[01:04] <jdeloach> NewWorld: I am like two weeks into Ubuntu and I am cool with it. it is just my log file. if you acctually break it down, it's simple and repetitive.
[01:05] <lucas_> *why is it always me experiencing crazy exceptional cases on everything pc-related, arggg*
[01:05] <Purpley1> Well the good side I guess, is I was able to screenshot every thing I had in my media folder so Ill just be torrenting like crazy if it doesnt work :)
[01:05] <lucas_> anyway, thanks for the advice guys
[01:06] <DcMeese> MilitantPotato: Watsupp? I got my wireless card to work...and I can surf the web, but now the ubuntu software center says each package is not available in the current data... And ideas?
[01:07] <claws_> how do i exit a man ?
[01:07] <robb> q
[01:07] <major_redhat> q
[01:07] <Purpley1> DcMeese, Have you ran the update manager yet?
[01:07] <stdisease> O.o
[01:07] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  Maybe it could help if we saw your xorg.conf
[01:07] <claws_> gr8...thx  :)
[01:07] <Purpley1> claws_ control+c or control+x
[01:07] <OttifantSir> Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Inspiron 9400 with Stereo and Subwoofer/LFE-speakers. How do I change the volume of the LFE? Up until 9.04 it was just selecting Main/PCM and LFE with Ctrl in Sound Preferences and it was solved, but how do I control the LFE volume in 9.10?
[01:08] <jdeloach> NewWorld: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/388640/
[01:08] <holmser> does anyone have any experience with courier-imap?  I can't seem to log into mine.  It keeps giving me an invalid username/password error
[01:08] <DcMeese> Purpley1: Found it... And how do I give myself root permissions? I know the password for root but cant do
[01:08] <claws_> Purpley1, didnt work
[01:08] <DcMeese> Certain things
[01:09] <Purpley1> dcmesse go to terminal type in sudo -passwd
[01:09] <coz_> holmser,   I dont  sorry ...however if no one here has the experience  try the ##Linux channel
[01:09] <Purpley1> claws_, lemme see hold on
[01:09] <fcn> hey this applet really starts pissing me off: I don't understand why it acts like that. Is there a file or a gconf entry to keep weather data?
[01:09] <Purpley1> claws_, try hitting "q"
[01:10] <NewWorld> sorry jdeloach I can't figure it out :/ have little xp in this anyway :/
[01:10] <jdeloach> NewWorld: do you know anybody who has expierience in this?
[01:11] <Purpley1> Argh foremost isnt working gotta be on a live cd :/ so I guess im going to have to boot up on backtrack
[01:11] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  UbuntuForums for sure :)
[01:11] <jdeloach> NewWorld: posted several times with several bumps. nobody ever responds.
[01:11] <NewWorld> :((((
[01:11] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  But what are the actual sideffects?
[01:12] <jdeloach> NewWorld: Only 2 out of my 4 monitors can work at a time.
[01:12] <NewWorld> Ooooh you have 4
[01:12] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  Which ones work and which ones don't?
[01:13] <Purpley1> Does ubuntu have a program for lego mindstorms? I have to program in a quick thing for a tempetuare controller?
[01:13] <jdeloach> NewWorld: I can change my config so one card works or the other. Not at the same time. Except I can get it to kinda work, 2 monitors work and the other have random text like a shell on them.
[01:13] <major_redhat> Purpley1: you could always try using WINE
[01:13] <jdeloach> NewWorld: Should I try running to X sessions?
[01:13] <shane_> anyone know why hardware drivers doesnt show fglrx for a radeon 9200 when its supported??? does that mean i cant use the driver?? i have no 3d support as of now and want it
[01:14] <mtx_init> how can I change the auto drive mounting options in nautilus.
[01:14] <jdeloach> shane_: I have a radeon 9200! Can't get it working though :( Trying to use standard ATI drivers though.
[01:14] <Purpley1> major_redhat, See, the problem is i lost my installion cd :P and lego charges you for a new one and there arent any torrents online for it
[01:14] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  No, I don't think that's a good idea hmmm. jdeloach Is it random gibberish on the broken screens? Or something meaningful?
[01:15] <NewWorld> mtx_init:  What options are you trying to control?
[01:15] <major_redhat> Purpley1: ouch that sucks. good luck finding a lego for linux, i dont konw if there is one available but you can always google it...
[01:15] <shane_> jdeloach_: so do you have any compositing or 3d effects and can you use compiz??
[01:15] <jdeloach> NewWorld: It's the stats of the OTHER graphics card. It's weird.
[01:15] <jdeloach> shane_: I am messing with getting it as a second graphics card. Not really there yet to that sort of stuff. Still trying to get it working at the same time.
[01:15] <mtx_init> NewWorld: I want to mount ext3 drives in journaled mode via nautilus.
[01:16] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  Well can you see in your xorg.conf... it only goes up to two screens, 'Scren 0' and 'Screen 1' maybe you should add more.
[01:16] <NewWorld> mtx_init:  ext3 is journaled already isn't it?
[01:16] <RPS> Hello Guys, I'm having problems getting my sound to work after a reboot. I've uninstalled & reinstalled the sound drivers twice with no change. This laptop has ran Ubuntu 9.04 flawlessly with ZERO sound issues until this reboot HUNG UP and I had to disconnect the battery to finally get it to turn off. I'm frustrated & have no idea what to do next. I'm almost considering upgrading to 9.10 just to see if that will fix it.        Is it
[01:16] <RPS>  possible to do a refresh of 9.04? Is that something that could fix this issue? I am only getting a faint crackly type of sound when I turn the volume up pretty loud & nothing else.
[01:16] <mtx_init> NewWorld: no its not
[01:16] <mtx_init> only metadata
[01:16] <shane_> jdeloach Im not even sure what driver I am using, but supposedly all the 3d drivers work with it, have you tried envy??
[01:16] <Purpley1> major_redhat, True, if i could figure out a way to just code in C++ for it id be set
[01:17] <major_redhat> Purpley1: go for it
[01:17] <jdeloach> NewWorld: It freaks out when I try. Says screens 2 and 3 have no matching configs.
[01:17] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  Okay lemme edit it up for you
[01:17] <jdeloach> NewWorld: k, thanks.
[01:18] <BluesKaj> RPS, check alsamixer in the terminal ., make sure all your crtls are turned up to atleast 70% , sometimes an update also mutes the master crtl , use the M key to unmute any ctrls with a M .
[01:18] <Purpley1> Hey guys my disk is stuck in my cd-rom, those little holes on them are for opening them if they get stuck right?
[01:19] <shane_> how do i chek to see what driver I am using right now?>>?
[01:19] <shane_> anyone?>>
[01:19] <Satoru-san> Purpley1: unmount it
[01:19] <Pirate-King> anybody got a good how 2 on installing ubuntu with 2 hard drives but not raid
[01:19] <Swagger> Hello
[01:19] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  Can you paste it to normal pastebin... I can't copy without linenumbers without loggin in
[01:19] <Purpley1> Satoru-san, Durr lol I forgot never mind :)

[01:19] <zsoc> ub9.10, usb crashes occasionally, I have no uhci_hcd or ehci_hcd, and not sure what other modules/upstart services I should trying to be restarting.. I can't fix it without a restart. A full restart ALWAYS fixes it. Here is a dmesg | tail of when it happens: http://webos.pastebin.com/Me4ZF3bs
[01:19] <mtx_init> Pirate-King: just use the manual partitioner.
[01:19] <mtx_init> or advanced
[01:19] <BluesKaj> !envy | shane_, jdeloach
[01:19] <jdeloach> NewWorld: yeah, sure 1 sec.
[01:20] <RPS> BluesKaj, what command gets me there?
[01:20] <Pirate-King> I did try that...I guess my problem is getting that drive to mount
[01:20] <Pirate-King> I did try that...I guess my problem is getting that 2 nd drive to mount
[01:20] <BluesKaj> RPS, in the terminal, alsamixer
[01:20] <shane_> I just want to know what driver I am using now and how ot install a 3d driver?????
[01:21] <NewWorld> Purpley1:  What's this about some lego you are trying to download? If you give me the product name I'll try searching for a download.
[01:21] <coz_> shane_,  for your video?
[01:21] <shane_> what is the manual way of installing fglrx or radeon???
[01:21] <Purpley1> Mindstorms
[01:21] <shane_> coz_ yes
[01:21] <coz_> shane_,  you need to speak with soreau    I consider him near expert with the installation of ati graphics drivers :)
[01:21] <Purpley1> Its a robotic type lego, I should buy the ardiuno though :/ its just ive always had this
[01:21] <jdeloach> NewWorld: http://pastebin.com/K7hbFBJK
[01:22] <RPS> BluesKaj, It was turned all the way up ...are any of the other settings important in  alsamixer
[01:22] <shane_> soreau hey you got a minute to help with video driver install???
[01:22] <BichoGRILO> hi
[01:23] <BluesKaj> RPS, unmute any ctrls with a M , use the M key
[01:23] <coz_> shane_,  out of curosity     in terminal    lspci | grep -i vga
[01:23] <BichoGRILO> hi there
[01:24] <BichoGRILO> anyone can log on hotmail?
[01:24] <coz_> BichoGRILO,  mm let me try hold on
[01:24] <TecnoBrat> awesome, according to my ISP's abuse email, my ubuntu linux machine is infected by a windows trojan!
[01:24] <TecnoBrat> yay false positives ...
[01:24] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  What did you do to add more screens?
[01:24] <shane_> coz_ 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (rev 01)
[01:24] <genii> BichoGRILO: So you have a Firefox or Evolution technical support question?
[01:24] <airtonix> !ot | TecnoBrat
[01:24] <coz_> BichoGRILO,   yep hot onto hotmail
[01:25] <coz_> shane_,  ok soreau  will need to know that card
[01:25] <BichoGRILO> i do not log on hotmail
[01:25] <BichoGRILO> type my username, my password
[01:25] <BichoGRILO> and
[01:25] <jdeloach> NewWorld: I copied that xorg.conf from online and editted it to match mine.
[01:25] <coz_> shane_,   For 7000 to HD4xxx series cards, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. HD2xxx and later series cards are also supported by the proprietary "fglrx" driver.
[01:25] <psvasti> in soviet russia, hotmail logs on to YOU!
[01:25] <BichoGRILO> do not log
[01:25] <coz_> BichoGRILO,  not sure then ... I can definilty log on here
[01:26] <BichoGRILO> wait
[01:26] <RPS> BluesKaj, I flipped them all on, buy I'm still just getting that faint crackling sound when I have the volume turned up. the sound is only made while I am playing something that makes noise, so its not an interference type of sound
[01:26] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  The one you sent me is one you got online and not the original?
[01:26] <BichoGRILO> look this link... two screenshots of error
[01:26] <BichoGRILO> http://picasaweb.google.com.br/josepsobrinho/Erro
[01:27] <jdeloach> NewWorld: it is the one i have editted.
[01:27] <shane_> coz_ here is what is on a site for compatibility RADEON 9200 (RV280 5961)
[01:27] <shane_>  it syas I can use fglrx>>> funny hting is it normally offers to instal it in hardware drivers but it doesnt on this system... how would i go about isntalling it manually??

[01:27] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  Before you edited... the original xorg.. how did that work out?
[01:27] <coz_> shane_,  that is where you need to talk with soreau  or go to #radeon  I thnk it is
[01:27] <jdeloach> NewWorld: it did not notice the second video card. It just thinks there is one.
[01:28] <BluesKaj> RPS,in the terminal :  speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -t wav
[01:28] <NewWorld> Purpley:  Did you want Lego Minstorms to run natively on Linux or Windows is fine?
[01:28] <psvasti> !sovietrussia
[01:28] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  But how many screens worked?
[01:28] <coz_> BichoGRILO,  I am not sure ...maybe your isp is blocking it?
[01:28] <BichoGRILO> no
[01:28] <genii> BichoGRILO: do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[01:28] <BichoGRILO> because i do on windows
[01:28] <jdeloach> NewWorld: 2
[01:29] <BichoGRILO> extras?
[01:29] <Purpley> Id prefer linux
[01:29] <BichoGRILO> and
[01:29] <NewWorld> Purpley:  Does it exist?
[01:29] <coz_> BichoGRILO,   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:29] <genii> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:29] <NewWorld> Purpley:  I found the Windows I think... if that's waht you couldn't find either.
[01:29] <RPS> BluesKaj, It's trying to make noise & is going from what I think is test to test, but all I'm getting is the faint crackling noise
[01:29] <genii> BichoGRILO: For java, flash, codecs, other assorted stuff
[01:30] <genii> ( hotmail uses some java for instance)
[01:30] <BichoGRILO> yeah
[01:30] <coz_> I dont think the restricted extras are going to prevent linking to a site though
[01:30] <RPS> BluesKaj, It just keeps scrolling to the next (test?)
[01:30] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  This might take a lil while, like be patient while I edit :)
[01:30] <BichoGRILO> java, flash, codecs, all is fine
[01:30] <BluesKaj> RPS, if that didn't give any sound , we need to know if your soundcard is even seen by alsa ,in the terminal again :  lspci | grep audio
[01:30] <neezer> I just created a user on my server named ryan. I want to ssh into that user, but I have sshd_conf only allows rsa key login. I need to copy some files over to the ryan user account right? I'm not exactly sure how to proceed.
[01:30] <jasman_> anyone can help, how to make a vhost for irc?
[01:31] <BichoGRILO> but, i can't connect in noone browser in my hotmail acoount, and no one msn clients :(
[01:31] <soreau> shane_: What problem are you having with your drivers?
[01:32] <RPS> BluesKaj, nothing happened except it just jumped back to the entry line immediately
[01:32] <jdeloach> NewWorld: k, I'm trying anything over here to make it work. :d
[01:33] <unop> neezer, you copy your public key to ryan's ~/.ssh/ directory .. see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys
[01:33] <RPS> BluesKaj, <lspci | grep audio> is the exact line I should use, correct?
[01:33] <neezer> I tried doing sudo cp -r .ssh /home/ryan, and it won't let me check to see if it copied properly. unop
[01:34] <BluesKaj> RPS, then your kernel source driver isn't working , do you know what soundcard you have ..we need to get alsa to recognize it
[01:34] <unop> neezer, are you trying to ssh to the same machine you're on now?
[01:34] <neezer> unop, i can see the .ssh folder in his directory, but when i try from my client, ssh ryan@192.168.1.105 it tells me permission denied.
[01:34] <brjann> neezer: that's because /home/ryan/.ssh is now owned by root, since you copied it using sudo. try   sudo chown ryan:ryan /home/ryan/.ssh
[01:35] <keyboardtalk> What is the best implementation of the board game "Go" for ubuntu?
[01:35] <BichoGRILO> how i disable the autentication window aways i will do a task like install change network setup, mount a driver?
[01:35] <BluesKaj> RPS, try this, cat /proc/asound/cards
[01:36] <brjann> neezer: you might also need to explicitly set permissions on that directory, too, after you've chowned it:   chmod 700 /home/ryan/.ssh
[01:36] <genii> BichoGRILO: There is no good method that does not involve compromising your syystem in some way
[01:36] <neezer> unop, I'm on my laptop trying to login to my server. I'm trying to set up a user account for my buddy.
[01:36] <BichoGRILO> understand
[01:36] <BichoGRILO> question of security?
[01:36] <BluesKaj> RPS yes lspci | grep audio was correct
[01:36] <RPS> I've got it
[01:36] <unop> neezer,  looks like you copied too much there .. all you need copy is the public key .. the howto explains this.
[01:37] <BichoGRILO> like when someone tries? and have'nt pass?
[01:37] <genii> BichoGRILO: Yes, it's to make sure that proper auth is made before potentially destructive things happen
[01:37] <BichoGRILO> understant
[01:37] <BichoGRILO> versatillity
[01:37] <RPS> BluesKaj,  HDA Intel  <---I believe that is it
[01:37] <BichoGRILO> i am loving ubuntu
[01:37] <BichoGRILO> for this
[01:37] <BichoGRILO> i am brazillian
[01:37] <neezer> I have an authorized keys file in the original .ssh file. so that is the only thing that I copied over to /home/ryan/.ssh
[01:38] <BichoGRILO> sorry my english is not so good :S
[01:38] <BluesKaj> RPS, did you do , cat /proc/asound/cards ?
[01:38] <neezer> brjann, I still can get into the .ssh folder.
[01:38] <RPS> BluesKaj,  HDA Intel  is what came back
[01:38] <BichoGRILO> someone knows the setup for a keyboard of notebook acer aspire 5516?
[01:39] <BichoGRILO> the correct setup
[01:39] <BluesKaj> !intelhda | RPS
[01:39] <BichoGRILO> some keys are missing
[01:39] <RPS> BluesKaj,  0 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
[01:39] <RPS>                       HDA Intel at 0xefebc000 irq 21
[01:39] <brjann> neezer: openssh does not like it when anyone but the owner has read access to the .ssh directory.
[01:39] <BluesKaj> RPS, check the url above , that will help get it working
[01:40] <BichoGRILO> guys
[01:41] <RPS> BluesKaj,  Thank You ...time to go down the rabbit hole. LOL
[01:41] <NewWorld> BichoGRILO:  Where did you lose the keys?
[01:41] <neezer> brjann, When I created the user, I used sudo adduser ryan, and went through the steps. then I looked in /home/ryan, and the only thing in it was desktop_examples. I think the rest of the folders are created on the first login.
[01:41] <BluesKaj> well, RPS I'm not familiar with intelhda cards :(
[01:41] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  In the Xorg... one thing I can't figure out is what the BusID is. Could you find out?
[01:42] <brjann> neezer: but you said you copied in the .ssh directory using     sudo cp -r .ssh /home/ryan
[01:42] <jdeloach> NewWorld: here is my lspci http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/388033/
[01:42] <neezer> yes. it wouldn't let me create a directory without sudo.
[01:43] <brjann> neezer: right, that's what i'm saying. the .ssh directory you created (using sudo) is now owned by root. ryan can't write anything to it.
[01:43] <neezer> I just deleted the user and added again. so he doesn't have anything in is home folder except for examples.desktop
[01:44] <neezer> brjann, I haven't even logged in as ryan. I want to get ssh access, but he needs a .ssh folder first right?
[01:44] <brjann> neezer: if your sshd_config is set to only allow public key authentication, yes.
[01:45] <brjann> neezer: where is his public key coming from?
[01:45] <neezer> so should I turn it to password just for a one time login with ryan to set up the key?
[01:45] <Elrox> neezer, all you gotta do is cp the dir you your dir,,, then do sudo chown -R username:username /home/username
[01:45] <brjann> neezer: that's typically what I do, yes.
[01:46] <neezer> so I can just cp /home/neezer/.ssh /home/ryan?
[01:46] <brjann> neezer: only if you're giving him your private key. which I would not recommend.
[01:46] <neezer> So I'd need to make a new key?
[01:47] <brjann> neezer: yes. ryan needs his own key, and needs some way to get the public key portion of his key added to .ssh/authorized_users
[01:47] <neezer> why is it bad to give him my private key? then he could login as me and have sudo access?
[01:47] <brjann> neezer: yes, giving out your private key means he can log in as you.
[01:47] <neezer> and my private key is on the server in /home/neezer/.ssh?
[01:47] <Elrox> neezer,  cp /home/neezer/.ssh /home/ryan/. && sudo chown -R ryan:ryan /home/ryan
[01:48] <BichoGRILO> someone knows the setup for a keyboard of notebook acer aspire 5516?
[01:48] <BichoGRILO> some keys are missing
[01:48] <neezer> Elrox, it won't let me do that because I don't have permission to create a folder there.
[01:48] <brjann> neezer: no, your private key lives on your laptop. on the server, there is a public key in .ssh/authorized_keys
[01:48] <Pirate-King> anybody know how to mount a drive?
[01:49] <BichoGRILO> Pirate-King, two clics
[01:49] <BichoGRILO> and give password
[01:49] <BichoGRILO> that mout
[01:49] <BichoGRILO> *mount
[01:49] <mattgyver> I have a software RAID 1 and i would like to create an image one of the disks on the raid, is this possible?
[01:49] <Elrox> neezer, sudo it
[01:50] <Pirate-King> ok how come I can't write to the drive then?
[01:50] <Izinucs> Can the region a dvd player is set to use be changed?
[01:50] <sekyourbox> Hello, I have 2 interfaces that i need to connect to. (ath0, and eth1). I'm currently going through 192.168.1.1 on ath0, and when i add 192.168.0.1 eth0 to the routing table, it says unknown host.. Any help please. Thanks
[01:50] <coz_> Izinucs,  it can yes
[01:50] <coz_> Izinucs,  hold on
[01:50] <brjann> Elrox: you're telling him to copy his authorized_keys file to another user's directory. that's really not a good idea.
[01:50] <Izinucs> coz_: thanks.. holding :)
[01:50] <neezer> Elrox, brjann, Thanks for all the help. I need to take a while to read some more and figure this out...I always get screwed up on who has the private key, and who has the public key. Thank you for the help. I really do appreciate it.
[01:51] <coz_> Izinucs,  in terminal type     regionset
[01:51] <Izinucs> coz_: is that also a way of checking what it's set for?
[01:51] <Pirate-King> how do you give permissions to a drive?
[01:51] <Elrox> brjann, isnt that what he's asking how to do? or is this from his box to a server?
[01:51] <coz_> Izinucs,  ah not sure I havent used that for some time now
[01:51] <coz_> Izinucs,  but let me check hold on
[01:51] <brjann> Elrox: he's making a new account for a friend of his
[01:52] <brjann> neezer: no problem. here's some reading material for you :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys
[01:52] <Elrox> brjann, on his own box?, if so then whats the prob? if not then he wont have perms to do it?
[01:52] <coz_> Izinucs,  not sure about that ...cant seem to find anyting regarding check region set
[01:53] <converge> how can i list the hds in the machine?
[01:53] <coz_> Izinucs,  which region do you need?
[01:53] <neezer> brjann, thanks for the link. it is used to be one of my bookmarks until I got my ssh up and running smoothly. now I just need to get his going.
[01:54] <brjann> Elrox: neezer copying his own authorized_keys file into ryan's ssh directory means a) neezer would be allowed to log in as ryan using neezer's private key and b) ryan would still not be able to log in.
[01:54] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  Can you run 'Xorg -scanpci' without X server running?
[01:54] <Izinucs> coz_: well for various reasons I think that my dvd drive region has been "reset" to something other than the U.S... with libdvdcss2 installed I still can't play dvd's and it won't mount blank dvd's but will cd's..
[01:54] <coz_> Izinucs,  which media player?
[01:55] <Izinucs> coz_: doesn't matter.. mostly with k3b trying to burn and almost any player you can think of I've thrown at it.
[01:56] <Izinucs> coz_: so does regionset simply prompt you for the region you want to set? or does it tell you what it's set for now before making a change?
[01:56] <Elrox> brjann, you are absolutely right, my apologies, i was only looking at the file cp/perms part of it, ty
[01:57] <jdeloach> NewWorld: My computer is not recognizing the "-scanpci" flag.
[01:57] <coz_> Izinucs,  as I recal it prompts for you to set  dvd region
[01:57] <brjann> Elrox: no worries :)
[01:57] <coz_> Izinucs,   I believe you have three attempts  but I am not sure it actually resets  the dvd chip
[01:57] <dr3mro> hello ,i am concerned about viruses i installed rkhunter and chkrootkit and my system is clean , do i need to install clamav ????
[01:58] <coz_> dr3mro,  it is unlikely you will ge
[01:58] <coz_> dr3mro,  get one
[01:58] <coz_> dr3mro,  however I do use rkhunter on occasion just to be sure
[01:58] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  Phhewwwww there you go: http://pastebin.com/prBdsxt5
[01:58] <Izinucs> coz_: I tried it and without a cd/dvd in the drive it error's out.. I guess it looks at the dvd and determins what the dvd is set for.
[01:58] <dr3mro> coz_, i install alot of deb files out side rpositories
[01:58] <coz_> dr3mro,  most of the viruses and things are geared towards server installations
[01:58] <mattgyver> Hey guys, is there anyway that i can image one of my disks within a software raid?
[01:59] <dr3mro> coz_, so clamav not neccessary
[01:59] <coz_> dr3mro, ` so your desktop should be fairly safe
[01:59] <dr3mro> coz_, i think ubuntu is gaining ground and soon we will see alot of viruses for linux
[01:59] <coz_> dr3mro,  not real necessary however if you feel more confortatble with an anti virus  applicationi then install clamav  along with one of its front end gui's
[01:59] <dr3mro> coz_, we should be prepared
[02:00] <jdeloach> NewWorld: Thanks, copying it now!
[02:00] <dr3mro> coz_, i am new to linux world but prefer CLI
[02:00] <coz_> dr3mro,  eventually it will be necessary but most likely not for 5 years or so
[02:00] <dr3mro> coz_, much customizable and faster
[02:00] <coz_> dr3mro,  the advantage of course is that clamav is free
[02:00] <dr3mro> coz_, i think after 2 to 3 moths only after lucid release :) i hope
[02:01] <NewWorld> lol OT guys
[02:01] <PoisonSerpent> Hi all.
[02:01] <coz_> dr3mro,  well its more difficutl to create and impliment a virus on linux  so I give it longer than that
[02:01] <dr3mro> coz_, thank you
[02:01] <coz_> dr3mro,  no problem
[02:02] <dr3mro> i have another Q?
[02:02] <coz_> sure
[02:02] <dr3mro> does any one try to replace metacity with openbox ?
[02:03] <coz_> dr3mro,  you can install openbox easily on ubuntu however you will NOT be able to run compiz with openbox  if you like compiz
[02:03] <coz_> dr3mro,  I prefer fluxbox  but openbox is cool too
[02:03] <jimi_> I plugged a western digital 1tb harddrive into my usb port. it scans, dmesg sees it , but it doesnt mount it anywhere. its a ntfs partition, ut idont see itin lsusb iether
[02:04] <coz_> dr3mro,  compiz only runs on  kde  gnome  lxde and xfce  or as a stanalone
[02:04] <MilitantPotato> jimi_: have NTFS-Config installed?
[02:04] <kthomas_vh> when I do server restart,  bind runs but requires a restart before it answers requests;  any solutions besides writing a restart script?
[02:04] <jimi_> MilitantPotato, checking
[02:04] <dr3mro> coz_, i tired crunchbang and realy become a openbox fan so easy and so light on resources but i love gnome so i thinking now to try to create a USB thumb with ubuntu minimal and openbox and gtk and some apps so it will work any where i go
[02:05] <jimi_> MilitantPotato, i do now :)
[02:05] <MilitantPotato> jimi_: running that and enabling the ability to write to external drives helped
[02:05] <NewWorld> !ot > dr3mro
[02:05] <jimi_> MilitantPotato, you had the same issue?
[02:05] <MilitantPotato> jimi_: not sure if it will for you, but it did for me.
[02:05] <coz_> dr3mro,  sounds like a good plan... yeah openbox is nice
[02:05] <coz_> dr3mro,  however no compiz with that :)
[02:05] <MilitantPotato> jimi_: Somewhat, I never checked lsusb though
[02:05] <MilitantPotato> jimi_: so I can't say it's the exact same issue
[02:05] <dr3mro> for a usb , no problem
[02:06] <jimi_> MilitantPotato, ok, its installed, just shows the hardware connects/disconnects in dmesg
[02:06] <NewWorld> jimi_:  Do you have the 'ntfs-3g' package installed?
[02:06] <rascal999> anyone here familiar with persistent mode? Saving settings for livecd?
[02:06] <MilitantPotato> jimi_: did ya run ntfs-config ?
[02:06] <jimi_> MilitantPotato, yes
[02:06] <jimi_> NewWorld, yes
[02:06] <MilitantPotato> jimi_: try it with the drive plugged in?
[02:06] <NewWorld> jimi_:  Can you see it in 'sudo fdisk -l'?
[02:07] <MilitantPotato> jimi_: does it show in fdisk -l ?
[02:07] <gekitsuu> How do I change my default runlevel to 3 in 9.10? I don't see inittab anywhere
[02:07] <jimi_> MilitantPotato, no, only the 3 partitions for linux
[02:07] <gescape> hi
[02:07] <Kingsy101> can someone give me some advice about a problem I am having with ubuntu.. it keeps closing applications itself
[02:08] <gescape> how can I mount new ext4 to enable access all users without rebooting the machine?
[02:08] <Kingsy101> for example I might have a terminal open.. or FF and suddenly the window will just dissappear
[02:08] <gescape> I have to mount it as root, but then no one can write to the new ext4 :(
[02:08] <Kingsy101> anyone seen anything like that before? I don't wanna have to re-install the operating system cos of something stupid like this
[02:09] <gescape> Kingsy101, have you checked what's in /var/log/messages ?
[02:09] <Kingsy101> nope I will do that now :)
[02:10] <jimi_> [  857.048070] usb 2-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 [  857.180536] usb 2-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[02:10] <jimi_> That's the message dmesg shows
[02:10] <genii> Kingsy101: If you do alt-tab a few times do the apps which seem closed cycle?
[02:11] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  Is it working?
[02:11] <gescape> Kingsy101, you can try to open terminal and then $sudo tail -f /var/log/messages > errorfile.txt :)
[02:11] <Kingsy101> ok hang on
[02:12] <ZykoticK9> gescape, to allow all other users to use your new ext4 partition you have to change the permissions on the mount point "sudo chmod ugo+rwx /where/it/gets/mounted" and then everyone will be able to use it.
[02:12] <gescape> Kingsy101, if terminal will close off itself you should have file ready with error :)
[02:12] <jimi_> MilitantPotato, It's in lsusb but it doesnt show t as a disk, how can i mount it?
[02:12] <MilitantPotato> jimi_: is this the 1tb western digital with DRM?
[02:12] <Kingsy101> gescape - that command is giving me a permission denied
[02:12] <Kingsy101> even with the sudo
[02:13] <NewWorld> ZykoticK9:  gescape I'm not sure that's the best way to go about it. Shouldn't the 'users' mount option be envoked instead?
[02:13] <gescape> ZykoticK9, thx.. I'm so stupid :( I was looking for some options in mount man haha
[02:13] <wadda> i want to reinstall flash -- can anyone tell me if synaptic completely purges flash or if i need to do something else?
[02:13] <jimi_> MilitantPotato, it's a 1TB wd yes
[02:13] <gescape> Kingsy101, don't forget about sudo at the beginning
[02:13] <MilitantPotato> jimi_: WD started using drives with DRM that block certain media files (great stuff) the firmware likely won't work on linux, I'm guessing.
[02:13] <gescape> Kingsy101, and you will need to type your password first time ;)
[02:13] <look> hai all, um i am trying to delete a partition from my hard drive but gparted wont let me because its /dev/sdb5 and it says i need to unmount is so i used Terminal and typed "umount /dev/sdb5" and it said that is was already unmounted
[02:13] <NewWorld> wadda:  did you chekc 'Completely Remove'?
[02:13] <MilitantPotato> jimi_: it started with a 1TB WD drive a few months back, that MAY be the issue
[02:14] <jimi_> MilitantPotato,  is there a fix?
[02:14] <wadda> NewWorld, yep
[02:14] <jdeloach> NewWorld: Didn't work, sorry.
[02:14] <Kingsy101> gescape - yea I know I am typing sudo then the command and its giving me a permission denied
[02:14] <gescape> NewWorld, I tried users option for mount, but I think it works only if in fstab
[02:14] <Kingsy101> its not even asking for the password
[02:14] <MilitantPotato> jimi_: no clue, I never bought one because of it, I'm just guessing that may be the issue, would be worth googling.
[02:14] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  What did it show?
[02:14] <Kingsy101> my ubuntu isnt updating either..
[02:14] <gescape> Kingsy101, :O
[02:14] <look> hai all, um i am trying to delete a partition from my hard drive but gparted wont let me because its /dev/sdb5 and it says i need to unmount is so i used Terminal and typed "umount /dev/sdb5" and it said that is was already unmounted
[02:14] <Kingsy101> man I think my operating system is messing up badly here
[02:14] <jimi_> MilitantPotato, can i pass it through to a vm?
[02:14] <Out_Cold> anyway to sync a file over the network? i thought about scp but it may overwrite with an older file..
[02:14] <jdeloach> NewWorld: It started freaking out, said there weren't all these screens. I only have four but the config has like 16.
[02:15] <gescape> Kingsy101, I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 and it works for me with no prob
[02:15] <Out_Cold> s/network/internet/
[02:15] <Kingsy101> yea :S
[02:15] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  Lol the config has 4 screens....
[02:15] <MilitantPotato> jimi_: I really have no idea, It just came to mind that newer WD drives have DRM, I'm not sure if that's even the problem
[02:15] <jimi_> oh ok
[02:15] <Kingsy101> I might just re-install my operating system 2morrow
[02:15] <Kingsy101> it just seems like a cop out I hate having to do that
[02:15] <NewWorld> jdeloach:  Brother I've stayed up 3 hrs past my  usual bedtime helping in this chan lol, at least I gave you a start. If you catch me another day I will try to help you once more :)
[02:16] <Kingsy101> it would be nice to fix ubuntu for a change
[02:16] <MilitantPotato> jimi_: I'd say google into it a bit, see if that could be the case
[02:16] <gescape> Kingsy101, try just $/usr/bin/tail -f /var/log/messages
[02:16] <jdeloach> NewWorld: thanks though, it has given me a lot of info.
[02:16] <jdeloach> Anybody know how to get a card not showing up in "aticonfig --lsa" to show up?
[02:16] <Hellhound666> Hi all I'm having a problem with sound here.
[02:16] <BichoGRILO> someone knows the setup for a keyboard of notebook acer aspire 5516?
[02:17] <BichoGRILO> some keys are missing
[02:17] <look> hai all, um i am trying to delete a partition from my hard drive but gparted wont let me because its /dev/sdb5 and it says i need to unmount is so i used Terminal and typed "umount /dev/sdb5" and it said that is was already unmounted
[02:17] <gescape> ZykoticK9, and what if I would like to allow only specific groups to write to my new ext4?
[02:17] <Kingsy101> gescape - now we are getting somewhere
[02:17] <Out_Cold> look, try just 'mount'
[02:17] <Kingsy101> check it out ---> http://pastie.org/854952
[02:17] <gescape> Kingsy101, :)
[02:18] <look> Out_Cold: no it wants it unmounted
[02:18] <Kingsy101> that paste is what the command returned (my most recent entries in that log file)
[02:18] <Out_Cold> look, just try the command
[02:18] <ZykoticK9> gescape, then you'd have to create a group and assign that group ownership with write permission and set "other" to NOT have read/write/execute
[02:18] <look> Out_Cold: so i did "umount /dev/sdb5" and it was already unmounted
[02:18] <look> Out_Cold: so i mounted it again and unmounted it just to make sure and tryed again
[02:19] <look> Out_Cold: And Gparted still wont do it
[02:19] <Surrador> I used to be very racially tolerant!
[02:19] <Out_Cold> look, just run 'mount' all by it's self.
[02:19] <ZykoticK9> look, you can't unmount a device (/dev/sdb5) you need to umount where it's mounted to -- use "mount" by itself to see where it is mounted
[02:19] <Hellhound666> constant problems it seems
[02:19] <Surrador> I even went as far as considering past slavery and oppression in my opinion of the Negro Problem!
[02:19] <Surrador> However as I matured I realized
[02:19] <look> there are no mounted drives on /dev/sdb5
[02:20] <Surrador> that the fecal-colored beast is like that because of its nature.
[02:20] <Out_Cold> ZykoticK9, you can too unmount it by the dev name IIRC
[02:20] <Surrador> That is why I joined Chimpout Forum
[02:20] <gescape> ZykoticK9, do you have maybe any link to some nice ref guide with good examples by any chance so I can practice and see real scenarios?
[02:20] <look> ZykoticK9: thre are no mounted drives on /dev/sdb5
[02:20] <rww> !ops | Surrador
[02:20] <Surrador> Google Chimpout Forum!
[02:20] <Out_Cold> look, then refresh gparted and try again
[02:20] <Surrador> Google Chimpout Forum
[02:20] <DIL> one got to your wife huh?
[02:20] <Hellhound666> When somebody gets a chance could they help me out with my sound issue please
[02:20] <look> Out_Cold: ive done that 3 times
[02:20] <ZykoticK9> gescape, sorry no links for ya - good luck man (i know permissions can be a pain)
[02:20] <Kingsy101> gescape - so you got any idea what that stuff means?
[02:20] <Out_Cold> look, then perhaps use fdisk or cfdisk

[02:23] <today> Out_Cold: thanks
[02:23] <Azelphur> My right mouse button sends both press and release events when I press, or release it (EG: Pressing the mouse button but not letting it up results in both a press and release event) any ideas how to fix this? It's very annoying in games.
[02:23] <Gekitsuu> Does anyone know how to change the default runlevel in 9.10?
[02:23] <Kingsy101> gescape - I am not sure I have just turned it  back on to give it another go.. it hasnt done it yet so those logs are from the last time I had it turned on
[02:23] <Kingsy101> so I guess so..
[02:23] <today> i know, we can use Samba, but i dont know how to confic samba Out_Cold
[02:23] <Kingsy101> there seems to be LOADS of problems with this computer atm
[02:24] <ZykoticK9> !runlevel > Gekitsuu
[02:24] <gescape> Kingsy101, see this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492699
[02:24] <Out_Cold> today, there should be links there to follow. step by step guides for ubuntu
[02:24] <today> Out_Cold: help me to config samba
[02:25] <Gekitsuu> thanks ubottu
[02:25] <Out_Cold> i guess.... give me a minute please
[02:25] <today> Out_Cold:  thanks
[02:25] <Kingsy101> gescape - would that be causing windows to close themselves tho?
[02:25] <gescape> Kingsy101, it looks people get those errors on eeepc
[02:25] <Kingsy101> oh from the logs you mean?
[02:25] <gescape> Kingsy101, I'm not sure - I'm not a developer
[02:26] <Out_Cold> today, what steps have you done so far?
[02:26] <Kingsy101> :S its annoyingly confusing. heh
[02:26] <Out_Cold> gescape, what errors? i don't get many on my eeepc
[02:26] <gescape> Out_Cold, ACPI
[02:27] <Out_Cold> never had an issue.. is this 10.04?
[02:27] <gescape> Out_Cold, check if you have anything in messages
[02:27] <Kingsy101> gescape - I guess I will just wait until it happens again then i KNOW the last log entry is specific to the error
[02:28] <gescape> Out_Cold, I do not have them - I've no eeepc :) Kingsy101 has http://pastie.org/854952
[02:28] <mtx_init> if you have an ext4 drive which has been using the ordered journal mode, is it ok to just change it to journaled mode, does one need to do anything special.
[02:29] <gescape> Kingsy101, those may not be related, could be a different issue...
[02:29] <Out_Cold> gescape, Kingsy101, my eeepc: http://pastebin.com/Zk84RNGN
[02:29] <gescape> Kingsy101, try to keep terminal with tail -f open so you can monitor what is happening
[02:30] <lyrae> Hi. when i mount a drive, how do i give 'www-data' ownership?
[02:30] <WetWired> I have a problem. I created a transparent image for my gnome panel, but when I set it, the notification area and window list aren't transparent. Anyknow know of a way to make them  transparent?
[02:30] <Out_Cold> lyrae, sudo chown www-data:www-data /path/to/drive
[02:31] <lyrae> Out_Cold, even if it's already mounted?
[02:31] <Pirate-King> how do you make a drive have permissions to write and read
[02:31] <Out_Cold> lyrae, yes
[02:31] <lyrae> Out_Cold, didn't work
[02:31] <Pirate-King> Im logged in as the root
[02:31] <jimi_> damn
[02:31] <Out_Cold> lyrae, like chown www-data:www-data /var/www
[02:31] <jimi_> How can i mount a drm drive?
[02:31] <Out_Cold> lyrae, how do you know?
[02:31] <Pirate-King> how do you make a drive have permissions to write and read?
[02:32] <lyrae> Out_Cold, because my http://localhost gives me Forbidden error. Apache access files as www-data
[02:32] <lyrae> so if apache is still giving me Forbidden error, means it's not mounted as www-data= /
[02:32] <DIL> !permissions | Pirate-King
[02:33] <lyrae> having the exact same problem as this guy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=684617
[02:33] <WetWired> I have a problem. I created a transparent image for my gnome panel, but when I set it, the notification area and window list aren't transparent. Anyknow know of a way to make them  transparent?
[02:33] <Out_Cold> lyrae, ok well maybe that's still not functioning but lets look at the owner.... do a ls -la of the directory that contains the drive
[02:33] <ZykoticK9> WetWired, just as an FYI, the transparent panel apples to everything in Lucid -- so 56 days from now it will be fixed :)
[02:33] <Out_Cold> lyrae, where is the location?
[02:33] <ZykoticK9> s/apples/appears
[02:33] <lyrae> Out_Cold, /media/Shared/sites/www/
[02:34] <lyrae> Shared is the name of the mounted HD
[02:34] <gescape> cya ppl... time to bed.. :)
[02:34] <Out_Cold> lyrae, what do you want to own? Shared or www?
[02:34] <WetWired> ZykoticK9, Yeah, but that doesn't help me now. lol. Do you know of a way? I've done it on my desktop, but now I'm setting up my girlfriends the same way, and can't remember how I did it.
[02:34] <lyrae> Out_Cold, only www and its subdirs if possible
[02:35] <ZykoticK9> WetWired, i remember having that "issue", i don't think i ever figured it out... sorry
[02:35] <lyrae> Out_Cold, but www is a directory of Shared, which is the actual HD. so im guessing we have to set Shared to be mounted as www-data
[02:35] <Out_Cold> lyrae, ok so sudo chown -r www-data:www-data /media/Shared/sites/www
[02:36] <Out_Cold> lyrae, i don't think you need to own parent directories to have ownership in the subs
[02:36] <lyrae> Out_Cold, also, Shared is NTFS
[02:36] <Out_Cold> ooohhh...... might be an issue with the mounting permissions..
[02:36] <lyrae> yes i think so too =(
[02:37] <Out_Cold> give me a sec..
[02:37] <lyrae> Out_Cold, did you see the link i sent?
[02:37] <lyrae> Out_Cold, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=684617   <-- someone says theres' 2 way to fix this
[02:37] <Out_Cold> reading now..
[02:37] <lyrae> i was going to the first one, giving www-data permission when mounting. the other one is changing umask
[02:38] <Gadu> I purchased a 5 button mouse and the 2 extra keys are currently set to back and forward in the web-browser. How can I disable this without disabling the buttons entirely?
[02:38] <Out_Cold> lyrae, what is the umask??
[02:38] <Gadu> I'd like to use them as keys for games and nothing more
[02:39] <Out_Cold> lyrae, you can set the umask in fstab to be 000 and therefor shared by all...
[02:39] <lyrae> Out_Cold, i don't know. that's why i was going with method 1 first
[02:39] <neezer> Out_Cold: I just watched the movie Out Cold!! I just thought I'd share.
[02:39] <lyrae> Out_Cold, ok. but, first i have to set it to mount automatically when ubuntu starts, because fstab is not listing the mounted drive right now
[02:39] <Out_Cold> neezer, thanks.. I made it you know
[02:40] <neezer> Out_Cold: did you invent snowboarding?
[02:40] <darkstar1> evening ppl. Quick question. I need to mount a partition in / and make sure it's automatically mounted from now on
[02:40] <Out_Cold> lyrae, fair deal, you can set it all in fstab.... let me find you a link..
[02:40] <Out_Cold> neezer, no but i invented snow
[02:40] <darkstar1> how do I achieve this?
[02:40] <lyrae> Out_Cold, how do i find out which sd* (ie, SDC, SDB, SDA, etc) Shared is?
[02:40] <Out_Cold> lyrae, use 'mount'
[02:40] <cheetos_> How to install ralink chipset driver?
[02:40] <lyrae> Out_Cold, i'd like to add it to fstab so it gets mounted automatically
[02:40] <Gadu> darkstar1: you'll need to pick something other than / as the mount point. You need to pick an empty folder
[02:40] <thomas_> hey, is there anyone who can help me? i am having a problem with ggzBoard.
[02:40] <hellyeah> gimp breaks compiz on ubuntu 9.10 what the..
[02:41] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, pay attention to lyrae's problem
[02:41] <lyrae> Out_Cold, when i start Ubuntu, i see 'Shared' under 'Places' in the main menu. I click it, enter password and it gets mounted
[02:41] <darkstar1> Out_Cold: I just entered

[02:41] <neezer> I want to start backing up my laptop install once I do a fresh install of 10.04 when it comes out. I have a server at home that I can ssh into, What might be a good way to accomplish this?
[02:41] <sekyourbox> is there a repository for Vmware Infrastructure Client???
[02:42] <genii> neezer: rsync
[02:42] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, which is why i'm pushing you onto lyrae's issue, we are going to mount a new drive in fstab which is what you want to do..
[02:42] <lyrae> Out_Cold, when i do umount /media/Shared, i get: /media/Shared is not in the fstab (and you are not root)
[02:42] <Out_Cold> lyrae, did you run the mount command?
[02:42] <lyrae> Out_Cold, give me 1 sec
[02:42] <scheibo> l
[02:42]  * seanbrystone_ gives lyrae 2 secs
[02:42] <darkstar1> Out_Cold:  Thanks. I'm listening

[02:43] <lyrae> Out_Cold, i unmounted Shared. but i can't mount because i don't know if Shared is sdb1, or sdc, or sda, etc
[02:43] <lyrae> how do i find that out?
[02:43] <Out_Cold> lyrae, this line was found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab    /dev/hda1       /mnt/WinXP      ntfs-3g      quiet,defaults,locale=en_US.utf8,umask=0	0 0
[02:44] <Out_Cold> lyrae, ok.. do  sudo fdisk -l
[02:44] <Out_Cold> lyrae, and look for the ntfs disk
[02:44] <genii> ubuntu uses scsi layer so no hda#
[02:44] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, you should check out that link also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab
[02:44] <lyrae> Out_Cold, thanks. it's sda
[02:44] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, let me know if you need more assistance
[02:45] <Out_Cold> lyrae, it will be sda###
[02:45] <darkstar1> thanks
[02:45] <lyrae> sda1
[02:45] <Myke_113> Hi, I had my Ubuntu (Wubi based install) die today after doing updates, and now it only boots as far as Grub2...  can anyone tell me how to fix this?  I found some info in the forums to try to boot into old kernels, but I couldn't get the computer to boot.
[02:45] <cheetos_> zzz
[02:45] <lyrae> Out_Cold, do you want me now to mount it via terminal or add line to fstab?
[02:45] <Out_Cold> so i'll assume that this was the original windows partition and you added linux?
[02:45] <scheibo> :q
[02:46] <Out_Cold> lyrae, sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Shared
[02:46] <lyrae> Out_Cold, no, this is a 3rd hard drive, where i keep music/videos/photos. no OS in it
[02:46] <Out_Cold> lyrae, can i see your sudo fdisk -l? can you pastebin?
[02:46] <olim> is it possible to bring an ncurses process to the foreground that i didnt bg or screen? (rtorrent)
[02:47] <lyrae> Out_Cold, http://pastebin.ca/1823453
[02:47] <darkstar1> lyrae:  use gparted to view your hard drive information
[02:47] <darkstar1> lyrae: such as the /sd*
[02:47] <Myke_113> Yes I added Linux using Wubi
[02:47] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, fdisk actually provides an easier view of them all..
[02:47] <lyrae> darkstar1, thank you
[02:48] <darkstar1> Out_Cold: never used fdisk
[02:48] <Out_Cold> lyrae, yea it looks like sda1
[02:48] <Traveler3> hello, I am wondering if anyone knows how to use diff and patch to backup the changes to a directory?
[02:48] <Four2zero> hey all im having trouble with allowing samba to give me access into the computer to view all the shared folders from my windows pc's, how do i get to allow this.? when i click on the icon server(windows xp) it says its opening "server" but then it tells me "unable to mount location" Failed to retrieve share list from server.
[02:48] <Eriatsa> hi
[02:48] <lyrae> Out_Cold, it does. but i get this erro when mounting: fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/Shared: No such file or directory
[02:49] <coz_> Traveler3,  I have done it so few times  I couldnt help with confidence...but there are many sites you can find and also go to ##linux ..I am sure someone there is skilled at it
[02:49] <cheetos_> .
[02:49] <Out_Cold> lyrae, ok sorry.. do mkdir /media/Shared THEN sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Shared
[02:49] <brjann> Traveler3: is this something you only want to do once? or something you want done regularly?
[02:49] <cheetos_> How to install ralink chipset driver?
[02:49] <Out_Cold> lyrae, may need to sudo mkdir
[02:49] <Traveler3> I have tryed diff -Nrw orig new > package.diff and then patch -p0 < package.diff and patch -p1 < package.diff, Neather work :(
[02:50] <lyrae> Out_Cold, yay :) worked. it's mounted
[02:50] <lyrae> Out_Cold, fstab is still the same though
[02:50] <Out_Cold> lyrae, ok so sudo nano or gedit /etc/fstab
[02:50] <SwollenEyes> damn it, I hate to ask such a newb question, but how do you close a channel?
[02:51] <Out_Cold> lyrae, it won't change till we tell it to
[02:51] <brjann> SwollenEyes: /part
[02:51] <Out_Cold> /close
[02:51] <lyrae> Out_Cold, ok. fstab is open
[02:51] <Out_Cold> as sudo?
[02:51] <lyrae> yep
[02:52] <darkstar1> Out_Cold:  I'm not seeing my Linux drive listed in FStab (the sdb*) just the windows one (sda*) is this normal?
[02:52] <genii> Out_Cold: gedit should use gksudo and not sudo
[02:53] <lyrae> genii, he told me to use nano
[02:53] <Out_Cold> so on a new line at the bottom, we'll write /dev/sda1       /media/Shared    ntfs-3g    quiet,defaults,locale=en_US.utf8,umask=000     0      0
[02:53] <lyrae> but i did use gedit with gksudo
[02:53] <Out_Cold> lyrae, i did mention both but i use nano so i forget about gksu sometimes
[02:53] <cheetos_> How do I install a Ralink Chipset driver?
[02:53] <seanbrystone_> !gksu
[02:54] <genii> lyrae: sudo is for commandline, gksudo is for graphical apps (kdesudo if KDE desktop)
[02:54] <lyrae> Out_Cold, ok. line added. do i reboot to test?
[02:54] <Out_Cold> lyrae, yes try it out... if it fails to load or you get into a recovery shell for some reason, go back into /etc/fstab and # the line out
[02:55] <lyrae> Out_Cold, ok. but what in this line tells to mount it as www-data? or is it the umask that's gonna allow apache to access it?
[02:55] <Out_Cold> lyrae, haven't gotten that far yet :p
[02:55] <lyrae> alright
[02:55] <lyrae> brb!
[02:55] <thomas_> How do I fix a program that won't open when double clicked in the "Applications" menu?
[02:56] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, what was wrong?
[02:56] <DocPlatypus> quick question... will any USB to VGA/HDMI adapter work under Ubuntu at all? is there a standard for these things or are the drivers different for each one?
[02:57] <DocPlatypus> already tried Google, nothing useful in the results.
[02:57] <Out_Cold> DocPlatypus, check ubuntu hardware support?
[02:57] <archlich> is there a way to have network manager reconnect my vpn when it disconnects
[02:57] <Out_Cold> !hardware
[02:57] <darkstar1> Out_Cold:  a sec pls.. I'm getting confusing info with what gpartrd is showing me and what's in fstab
[02:58] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, fstab is only used at boot-up and during mounting... it's not what is actually on your system
[02:58] <lyrae_> Out_Cold, it works. mounted automatically and apache is accessing it! maaaany thanks!
[02:58] <Out_Cold> lyrae, you can send your check in the mail..
[02:59] <ertz> what is the best way to access windows files on diff partition from linux?
[02:59] <darkstar1> Out_Cold:  Ok. But in order to make sure a partition is mounted at boot time I need to add the partition info there right?
[02:59] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, gparted reads all disks connected to your machine, regardless if it's in fstab
[03:00] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, yes to automagically mount, there needs to be an entry in fstab
[03:00] <Out_Cold> ertz, mount the partition and go explore
[03:00] <lyrae_> Out_Cold, just wrote a check for $500. where do i send it to?
[03:01] <Out_Cold> Seymore Buttz CO 123 anytown USA
[03:01] <lyrae_> haha
[03:01] <RPS> Hello Guys, I'm still working toward resolution on my sound card issue. I ran a lot of commands from the Trouble Shooting site; removing & reinstalling the sound card drivers & others, but nothing would work, so I was advised to visit the HDAintel Sound How to website & I ran the first command that has me completely baffled. It gave me a command to find out exactly what sound card I have. Uhhh I ran the command & got different info
[03:01] <RPS> than I got from the command I used earlier. First time it said I had an HDAintel card, but after running the command it said nothing about the brand & listed this info: Codec: SigmaTel STAC9200
[03:01] <RPS> Codec: Conexant ID 2bfa
[03:01] <FloodBot1> RPS: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:01] <freeaks_> hi there, i need help with a matrox g550 graphic card, basicaly it works, but i have two monitors connected on 1 dvi port, using a splitter cable .. so both screens display the same thing like if it was mirrored ... how can i get both monitor to work independently ?
[03:03] <RPS> I'm hoping someone can take me on for a few minutes... I try to stay focused & keep up!
[03:03] <Out_Cold> freeaks_, not sure if you can use xrandr for that but it would be the command you want to look at to do side by side
[03:03] <DocPlatypus> okay, doesn't mention USB display adapters at all
[03:03] <Out_Cold> RPS, i would bud but sound and graphics are not my forte..
[03:04] <DocPlatypus> may need to borrow one of these and just see what it says when plugged into an Ubuntu box
[03:04] <thomas_> A program doesn't open when I click on it in the "Applications" menu, what should I do?
[03:04] <darkstar1> Out_Cold: the # lines are for comments right?
[03:04] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, yes... with the exception of #! all lines that begin with # are ignored
[03:05] <Out_Cold> thomas_, try Alt+F2 then type the name in there
[03:05] <lucio> hola
[03:05] <Out_Cold> i need a gf... you guys are taking away from my *** life

[03:05] <freeaks_> Out_Cold, xrandr seems to report only 1 screen
[03:05] <seanbrystone_> !es | lucio
[03:05] <thomas_> Out_cold, it hangs, and nothing comes up, no errors or anything.
[03:06] <darolu> lucio: hola, si quieres hablar español escribe /join #ubuntu-es
[03:06] <Out_Cold> freeaks_, i would think so... using the splitter i'm not sure you can do that
[03:06] <Out_Cold> thomas_, what program?
[03:06] <thomas_> ggzBoard
[03:06] <Out_Cold> thomas_, might be an issue with the program it's self... check into support from the developers
[03:07] <DocPlatypus> and again... it's a case of figure out what $%&# chip is inside the thing
[03:07] <genii> DocPlatypus: So basically the sisusbvga driver, with one of the adapters listed
[03:07] <thomas_> out_cold, well it was working before, but i ran something like delete unused packages or something, and the person who told me to do that said it might cause unwanted side-effects
[03:08] <genii> DocPlatypus: lsusb   should give something to start working with
[03:08] <DocPlatypus> genii: this is pre-purchase research
[03:08] <Out_Cold> thomas_, well then i recommend you sudo apt-get remove gzzBoard then reinstall
[03:08] <DocPlatypus> don't have the thing to plug in yet
[03:08] <flaccid> in ubuntu karmic, for the root user, how do i set a profile for ssh login to set env vars? ~/.ssh/environment does not seem to effect
[03:08] <wolfjb> I'm trying to apt-get update and I'm getting a lot of 404 errors, I've tried 4 different software sources, this sounds like a network problem, except that I can surf the web, etc is there anything I can check?
[03:09] <genii> DocPlatypus: Aah, OK.
[03:09] <Out_Cold> wolfjb, ping the servers then ping something from web..
[03:09] <thomas_> Out_cold, i've tried that, but oddly enough, it stays in the menu, but the thumbnail is gone, i've even tried synaptic to fix broken packages but that doesn;t work either
[03:10] <Out_Cold> thomas_, try apt-get remove --purge
[03:10] <Out_Cold> thomas_, try apt-get remove --purge gzzBoard
[03:10] <thomas_> Out_cold, returns "Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them"
[03:11] <Out_Cold> then use autoremove :p
[03:12] <freeaks_> Out_Cold, sorry i was afk for a while
[03:12] <symptom> has anyone seen the new theme for Lucid?
[03:12] <wolfjb> I can ping it, but I'm getting failures on stuff like http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic-security/universe Translation-en_US
[03:12] <thomas_> Out_cold, now reinstall?
[03:12] <wolfjb> but I can surf it with a web browser
[03:12] <wolfjb> odd
[03:12] <freeaks_> this won't help much but, at least this work like that on windows
[03:12] <Out_Cold> freeaks_, i don't think you can do off of one connection... i may be wrong but it's my opinion
[03:12] <freeaks_> i see ..
[03:12] <Out_Cold> well then i'm wrong
[03:12] <Out_Cold> might work
[03:12] <Out_Cold> i've never done with one connection
[03:12] <Out_Cold> thomas_, yes try again
[03:13] <freeaks_> i wonder if i need to use a special driver or some other tool ? i've just installed ubuntu on this machine
[03:13] <symptom> Does anyone know how minimizing a window will be handled on Lucid with the new Light theme?
[03:13] <freeaks_> i see other ppl here they all use windows, using the same hardware, so i can see it works for them
[03:13] <Out_Cold> wolfjb, maybe firewall or porrly set up routing/
[03:14] <thomas_> Out_cold, ok, now it's just doing the same thing it was before, hangs, no errors or messages
[03:14] <wolfjb> Out_Cold, ah, could be, I'm in a hotel - I'll look into it
[03:14] <Out_Cold> thomas_, what is it supposed to do?
[03:14] <symptom> !light
[03:14] <thomas_> Out_cold, open up a window with a list of board games to play
[03:14] <martin__> I have no sound on my system how do I fix this
[03:15] <martin__> how do I install my sounddriver?
[03:16] <flaccid> try using windows :)
[03:16] <keeen> is it possible to put special characters in the LUKS Ubuntu system encryption password?
[03:16] <Out_Cold> thomas_, i dunno... my guess is that what ever command you ran, broke the gzz dependancies.. not too sure how to fix above what we did
[03:16] <Parogar> can anyone please help me, I kinda screwed my PC up installing ubuntu'
[03:17] <darolu> martin__: do you see a little speaker icon on the top-right corner?
[03:17] <martin__> yes
[03:17] <keeen> hello
[03:17] <martin__> darolu yes
[03:17] <Parogar> I am taking an OS class in school, so I downloaded ubuntu, installed it on a spare partition, and everything worked fine. the only problem, is that now my windows 7 is dead. Says Hal.dll is corrupte
[03:17] <martin__> darolu:yes
[03:17] <Parogar> corrupted*
[03:18] <keeen> Parogar, really?
[03:18] <Srayahu> Parogar, you might also ask in #Linux and #Windows
[03:18] <ejv> good riddance, just stick with ubuntu
[03:18] <Srayahu> ejv, =D
[03:18] <Parogar> So... that's it?
[03:18] <Parogar> it's gone?
[03:18] <keeen> ejv, linux is the best but its hard to play some games on linux
[03:18] <darolu> martin__: right click on it, and go to sound preferences; play with the settings, check that you are using the appropriate channel (digital/analog) and that there is nothing muted
[03:18] <Srayahu> Parogar, Nah, it's not. So you installed Ubuntu and it boots?
[03:18] <brand0n> whats the command to make a directory writabe
[03:18] <ejv> of course its not gone, mount it and get your files
[03:19]  * ejv facepalms
[03:19] <brand0n> chdod +x 775 or something
[03:19] <martin__> darolu: I did that
[03:19] <brand0n> chmod*
[03:19] <Srayahu> brand0n, chmod
[03:19] <Gibby> Is there a way to make a video stream say from zoneminder, show up as my screen saver?
[03:19] <Parogar> Yes, I can get into ubuntu, but I can no longer get into Windows 7
[03:19] <brand0n> yea but how do i use it Srayhu
[03:19] <mattgyver> I have a software RAID 1 on my server that i would like to image, is there a way to do that?
[03:19] <keeen> is it possible to put special characters in the LUKS Ubuntu system encryption password?
[03:19] <ejv> mattgyver: man dd
[03:19] <Parogar> I tried booting from each hard drive, and I just keep getting the error that hal.dll is gone or corrupted
[03:19] <Srayahu> brand0n, Well, the short answer is just chmod 777
[03:19] <martin__> darolu: my "mentor/friend" told me that to get it i need to install the driver
[03:19] <Out_Cold> keeen, try it out... it'll give errors if it cant
[03:19] <brand0n> ok
[03:19] <brand0n> thank you
[03:19] <`mOOse`> funny - windows 7 is MUCH faster on my old laptop than ubuntu yet I don't sit here bitching and whining about it or throwing disparaging remarks to guys who have windows screw up their grub
[03:19] <keeen> !polite
[03:19] <`mOOse`> you guys are unbelievable sometimes
[03:19] <xangua> Parogar: well find oput what hal.dll is in a windows channel
[03:20] <cheako> Hello, I need some help debugging Upstart.  I don't have any getty!!
[03:20] <Parogar> If I boot fro thhe win7 CD, it doesn't even know that I had a windows 7 installation
[03:20] <ejv> !chill pill | `mOOse`
[03:20] <Parogar> from*
[03:20] <Srayahu> m00se, please watch your language. This is a PG chat.
[03:20] <Parogar> I definitely didn't delete the windows 7 partition
[03:20] <`mOOse`> ejv take your own advice, eh
[03:20] <ejv> i refuse.
[03:20] <`mOOse`> big surprise
[03:20] <keeen> Out_Cold, thanks but I'd rather not waste 5 hours encrypting my entire system to find out
[03:20] <Parogar> I think what happened is that grub overwrote something and that  won't let me use windows 7 anymore
[03:20] <brand0n> srayahu im in the folder in the terminal
[03:20] <ejv> Parogar: either repair your MBR with an fdisk /mbr or... setup grub again
[03:20] <brand0n> chdmod 777 doesnt work
[03:21] <Parogar> I did both
[03:21] <keeen> that's why I'm asking here
[03:21] <brand0n> isnt there like +x or something
[03:21] <keeen> to save a lot of time
[03:21] <Srayahu> Parogar, unfortunately I don't use Windows. (At all) =( So I don't know what to suggest about a broken .dll (which is a windows file)
[03:21] <Parogar> I fixed my mbr several times
[03:21] <LuigiBai> Hi, I am using the Remix, but can't get the "User Switch" button on the lock screen
[03:21] <Parogar> I don't think it's merely a broken dll
[03:21] <Srayahu> brand0n, You're in the directory you're trying to change?
[03:21] <brand0n> yea
[03:21] <Out_Cold> keeen, try a small partition... it should give you the error immediately when entering the password i would assume
[03:21] <ejv> Parogar: ok so your OS is corrupted; time to evacuate your files and re-install :)
[03:21] <Srayahu> Parogar, therein lies the issue - I don't know what I'm talking about concerning Windows.
[03:21] <Parogar> I think that the entire mbr has become corrupted, I will probably have to end up formatted, was just hoping not to have to
[03:21] <LuigiBai> I checked .gconf/apps/gnome-screensaver/%gconf.xml and the setting (bool) is TRUE
[03:21] <brand0n> i wanna make the directory writable by everyone, or atleast by me
[03:21] <brand0n> without sudo
[03:22] <Srayahu> brand0n, Type this - "cd ." without the quotes.
[03:22] <Parogar> I just don't see how installing ubuntu destroyed my entire OS
[03:22] <keeen> Out_Cold, thanks
[03:22] <Srayahu> Parogar, it most likely did not.
[03:22] <ejv> Parogar: save time from trying to troubleshoot; just mkdir /mnt/fail; mount /dev/sd_() /mnt/fail; and copy ur stuff somewhere
[03:22] <brand0n> ok done Srayahu
[03:22] <brand0n> what did that do
[03:22] <Srayahu> brand0n, it takes you up to the parent directory
[03:22] <Parogar> alright, grabbing the spare drive.
[03:22] <Srayahu> Now ls, find the directory's name, and chmod 777 the directory
[03:22] <Srayahu> Parogar, give me a moment buddy. (Busy)
[03:23] <ejv> Parogar: quite frankly a broken .dll sounds like diagnostics hell...
[03:23] <Parogar> I really like ubuntu, but windows is sadly still the only way to play directx games
[03:23] <LuigiBai> any way to force gnome-screensaver to show a user switch button on Remix?
[03:23] <Srayahu> Parogar, fail - Linux plays many of the games available on Windows. Including DirectX games.
[03:23] <Parogar> I would have migrated to ubuntu a long time ago if not for the fact that my favorite games run best or only on windows
[03:23] <darolu> martin__: having that icon dear, usually means the driver is already installed.
[03:23] <seanbrystone_> you grow out of games eventually, took me 35 years heh.
[03:23] <ejv> if you wanna argue about linux + games ---> #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:23] <Srayahu> seanbrystone, fail
[03:23] <Parogar> I am aware of that, however I don't get nearly the performance I would get in windows. '
[03:23] <Srayahu> ejv, thank you
[03:24] <Out_Cold> Parogar, linux isn't really a gamer's system.... things will change someday though
[03:24] <Srayahu> Parogar, because you lack the skill to optimize a Linux machine to run said games. I game happily in Linux.
[03:24] <darolu> martin__: if you want to check, open a terminal and type: lspci | grep Audio
[03:24] <Parogar> I realize that, which is why I was hopinng to use it for everythign else
[03:24] <brand0n> ok srayhhar
[03:24] <brand0n> got it workin
[03:24] <brand0n> thank you very much
[03:24] <brand0n> Srayahu*
[03:24] <FloodBot1> brand0n: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:24] <seanbrystone_> Srayahu, lol yep epic fail
[03:24] <darkstar1> Out_Cold: do I now need to add a folder to / so that the partition is mounted there?
[03:24] <thomas_> Out_cold, do you know how to fix broken dependencies? i reinstalled all of the ones in the list in synaptic, but i'm getting the same issues
[03:24] <Srayahu> brand0n, for future reference you can't chmod a folder while you're in the folder.
[03:24] <brand0n> floodbot, please get off my nuts
[03:24] <brand0n> ah ok
[03:24] <Parogar> So srayahy you can lplay bad company 2 right now? at the same speed as windows
[03:24] <brand0n> that was my problem then
[03:24] <xangua> Parogar: for games better buy a console
[03:24] <Srayahu> seanbrystone, They'll pry the controller from my cold, dead hands.
[03:25] <martin__> darolu: I found some commands and now it works,  thx for your help, i appreciate it
[03:25] <ejv> !offtopic
[03:25] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, i thought you wanted it mounted as /
[03:25] <Srayahu> Parogar, I don't play Bad Company, but give me a disc and some time and I'll get 'er running.
[03:25] <Parogar> That is an unreasonable request
[03:25] <Out_Cold> thomas_, try apt-get --build-dep
[03:25] <darkstar1> Out_Cold: wouldn't that conflict with my normal / ?
[03:25] <Out_Cold> thomas_, try apt-get --build-dep gzzboard
[03:25] <Srayahu> Parogar, How so?
[03:25] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, yes..
[03:25] <ejv> Srayahu and Parogar, srsly, #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:25] <ejv> just take it over there...
[03:25] <Parogar> Sorry, I didn't mean to even bring it up
[03:26] <Srayahu> ejv, SRSLY, we got your message(s) already. Cool off man
[03:26] <Parogar> I just want to save my windows installation
[03:26] <Parogar> I think that grub doesn't play nicely with windows 7
[03:26] <ejv> srsly people are dense which requires repetition
[03:26] <Srayahu> Parogar, understandable - now, if you need help I am more than willing to assist you. I do feel bad that your first  Linux experience is turning out to be a bad one.
[03:26] <seanbrystone_> The OT police are out in force tonight, shhhh!!!! :)
[03:26] <thomas_> Out_cold, still nothing
[03:26] <darkstar1> Out_Cold: It's a partition that I want to use for Samba only. That's why I wanted it mounted at boot time
[03:26] <Parogar> It's not linux' fault
[03:26] <genii> Parogar: To the contrary, it's Windows 7 that abhors Grub
[03:26] <Srayahu> seanbrystone, LOL
[03:26] <Out_Cold> Srayahu, in ejv's defence, I am trying to assist others and it's difficult to do so when there is so much idle chatter.
[03:26] <ejv> <3
[03:27] <Srayahu> Out_Cold, I am as well. Upgrade your brain's processor. >_>
[03:27] <Parogar> I don't blame ubuntu. I just want to find a way to get them both running
[03:27] <seanbrystone_> vmware ftw
[03:27] <darkstar1> Out_Cold: but at the root level
[03:27] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, and you really want it mounted in /? then yes.. make a new dir there..
[03:27] <Parogar> I very much liked the few hours I spent with ubuntu watching movies, browsing ect, It was also much easier to get runnning and configured thanwindows
[03:27] <darkstar1> Out_Cold:  is that a bad idea?
[03:28] <Srayahu> Parogar, I don't know what to suggest concerning your .dll. However, if you do have to reinstall across the whole machine then make sure you install Windows and then Linux. Windows likes to take over the whole MBR...
[03:28] <LuigiBai> Is there a better place to ask Remix/UNR related questions?
[03:28] <LuigiBai> Or GNOME/screensaver config questions?
[03:28] <Parogar> That's how I had it
[03:28] <ejv> LuigiBai: #gnome-desktop ?
[03:28] <neezer> will a gigabit LAN connection saturate the pci bus? or will I be able to get full capability out of gigabit LAN with a pci card. I don't have pci express in my server.
[03:28] <Srayahu> Parogar, really, #Windows is the best place to ask concerning your .dll. We can't offer support for that here.
[03:28] <Out_Cold> LuigiBai, here would be the 'best' place
[03:28] <Parogar> I only had windows 7 installed, and today, I installed ubuntu . Perhaps next time I should install ubuntu FROM within windows
[03:28] <Parogar> Since I think that would be a far safer option
[03:29] <ejv> LuigiBai: #gnome sorry ;)
[03:29] <ejv> was thinking #gentoo-desktop hahaha
[03:29] <LuigiBai> oh
[03:29] <DKcross> hello people, i need help
[03:29] <Srayahu> !ask | DKcross
[03:29] <darkstar1> Parogar:  Bad bad BAAD idea and I doubt you could do it that way anyways
[03:29] <Parogar> Well I just don't want a repeat of what happened tonight.
[03:29] <Srayahu> Parogar, Wubi installs are... *cries*
[03:30] <DKcross> Srayahu, wait
[03:30] <cheako> Sorry, I'm back.
[03:30] <Netwiz> Hey
[03:30] <DKcross> well. my problem is my 3g modem
[03:30] <DKcross> mount like usb
[03:30] <Netwiz> I am back for the first time in 1.5 years
[03:30] <RPS> I have lived those Wubi blues before & say NO THANKS. Laughing Out Loud
[03:30] <cheako> I have getty's being started in several places, is that bad?
[03:30] <Parogar> These are the EXACT steps I followed. I burned the ubunti image to a disc, booted from it. Selected a partition, using E something 4 (don't remember) and used / as the root. Installed completetly
[03:30] <DKcross> and i  eject device but nothing..
[03:30] <Parogar> ubuntu*
[03:30] <Netwiz> Should I install Ubuntu 64bit or 32bit?
[03:30] <ejv> um... what does your processor support Netwiz ...
[03:31] <thomas_> Srayahu, do you have any advice for programs with broken dependencies?
[03:31] <cheako> how can I tell the current run level? I need to verify that it's 2.
[03:31] <Netwiz> Both
[03:31] <trevor> does anyone know how i can install the pixmap theme engine
[03:31] <Netwiz> Are all the packages teh same and available for both?
[03:31] <Srayahu> Parogar, ext4 is the file system you're thinking of. Did you do a manual partition scheme or a guided scheme?
[03:31] <cheako> system-services: /etc/event.d/tty6
[03:31] <Gibby> Is there a way to make a video stream say from zoneminder, show up as my screen saver?
[03:31] <Parogar> manual
[03:31] <Parogar> could that be why?
[03:31] <cheako> upstart: /etc/init/tty6.conf
[03:31] <Srayahu> thomas_, Well, it depends on the program
[03:31] <cheako> What should I do?
[03:32] <Netwiz> Also, how is a 7600 GT for Beryl?
[03:32] <Srayahu> Parogar, Well, possibly
[03:32] <thomas_> Srayahu,, it's GGZBoard, from the Ubuntu Software Center
[03:32] <darkstar1> Out_Cold: I know I'm bothering you, but is my way a bad idea mounting a partition in root? I'm a Linux born again (Well newbie since I only ever used Unix before this and that was years ago)
[03:32] <Srayahu> thomas_, One moment...
[03:32] <cheako> Is this a common problem?
[03:32] <seanbrystone_> Netwiz, its no longer beryl, its Compiz or Compiz-Fusion something like that
[03:33] <Srayahu> thomas_, You're on 9.10?
[03:33] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, not a 'bad' idea, just something i'd never do in practice..
[03:33] <thomas_> Srayahu, yes
[03:33] <Parogar> I'll try doing it differently next time then
[03:33] <ejv> darkstar1: i'd say no, let's not get in the habit of doing that; i suggest you make a new folder in /media or /mnt and mount your device(s) there...
[03:33] <Srayahu> thomas_, run sudo apt-get update and make sure you have all the updates. I don't know what to suggest concerning it. I can try installing it and seeing what happens. One moment?
[03:34] <Parogar> on a slightly different note, another problem I am having with Ubuntu, is that when I try and compile using g++ programs I have written in windows. I get tons of parsing errors
[03:34] <Netwiz> Wow.  I cannot belive this is the busiest chat room on freenode
[03:34] <Netwiz> Congratulations
[03:34] <ejv> Netwiz: use 64bit, might as well
[03:34] <Netwiz> Will do
[03:34] <darkstar1> Out_Cold: why?? I figure not to have it buried in the usual place will some how help traversing down dir tree
[03:34] <Parogar> someone said it has to do with end line characters from windows to ubuntu?
[03:35] <ejv> gone are the days where 64bit support sucked
[03:35] <Srayahu> Parogar, concerning installing windows/ubuntu. Unless you know what you're doing I'd recommend just doing a guided install. I know what I'm doing and I usually just do a guided install anyway when I do dual installations, etc.
[03:35] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, that's where i'd put them too.. in /media or /mnt... good lessons produce good practice..
[03:35] <Netwiz> didn't you used to have an effects room?
[03:35] <Parogar> kk thanks will do that this time
[03:35] <Srayahu> Parogar, you're using gcc?
[03:35] <darkstar1> Out_Cold: Ok
[03:35] <Parogar> yes
[03:35] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, you can really put it where ever you want.. but it's just good practice to do it that way..
[03:36] <Parogar> gcc Main.cpp List.cpp -o LinkedList
[03:36] <Parogar> that's the syntax I am using
[03:36] <seanbrystone_> !away > xnt14[sleep]
[03:36] <Parogar> hundreds of erros
[03:36] <Parogar> errors*
[03:36] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, like using sudo -i instead or su root or sudo su...
[03:36] <zaikur> anyone available to help with an apache issue?
[03:36] <darkstar1> Ok
[03:36] <Out_Cold> zaikur, we can't help if we don't know the issue
[03:37] <trism> Parogar: you can fix the line ending problem with dos2unix in the tofrodos package (windows defaults to \r\n at the end of lines, linux uses just a \n)
[03:37] <ejv> and #apache is prolly a better place... lol
[03:37] <Parogar> ahh.
[03:37] <Parogar> and I just run my files through this?
[03:37] <ejv> errr #httpd
[03:37] <ejv> zaikur ^
[03:37] <zaikur> roger that. I just installed and when i go to edit the file for my website it's telling me that i dont have permission. I tried logging into root but it isn't accepting my password
[03:38] <zaikur> i only typed in one password when i installed ubuntu
[03:38] <zaikur> and that was for my login, nothing for root
[03:38] <Out_Cold> zaikur, easy solution...
[03:38] <trism> Parogar: yes
[03:38] <Out_Cold> zaikur, use gksu gedit /path/to/file
[03:39] <Parogar> sorry for all the noob questions, I am brand new to linux.
[03:39] <darkstar1> How do I view a man file (on Mkdir) in gedit??
[03:39] <Out_Cold> !root > zaikur
[03:39] <darkstar1> Parogar:  Me too.. sort of
[03:40] <Dj-Pilot94> Hey
[03:40] <thomas_> darkstar1, right click and click open with other application...
[03:40] <Jbirky> Sorry bad Internet connection
[03:40] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, what's wrong with man mkdir??
[03:40] <ardantus> how to add % in mysql server in ubuntu 8.04 server?
[03:41] <darkstar1> thomas_: don't know where the man files are... just know how to terminal them up
[03:41] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, the right syntax is sudo mkdir /media/disk
[03:41] <Dj-Pilot94> if i want to create a game in linux - were do i start? and do i have to make it free?
[03:41] <Jbirky> sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0
[03:41] <thomas_> darkstar1, type gedit, then path/to/file
[03:41] <misteredia> what's up???
[03:41] <thomas_> darkstar1, like gedit path/to/file
[03:41] <Dj-Pilot94> Can somebody tell me?
[03:41] <Out_Cold> Dj-Pilot94, you don't have to do anything... except include required licencing... and you would start with a programming app
[03:42] <darkstar1> thomas_: Like I said I don't know where the man files are
[03:42] <von_neumann> I'm trying to change my default WM under Karmic,  I have created a .gnomerc (which is ignored) and edited the window manager setting via gconf-editor (which is also ignored).  I have STFW and no luck, any ideas?
[03:42] <ardantus> Jbirky, i mean i want alow remote not only localhost for mysql server.
[03:42] <mrkim> Houston, we have a problem!  I'm runnin 9.10 (386) w/proprietary nVidia 185 drivers & installed a kernel update this morning, then rebooted as instructed. Machine reboots->username screen ->password sreen then ... the ubuntu logo and progress bar vanish leaving only the login screen background on the screen.  No windows to enter any info into, nothing, just the login screen background.  I worked with 2 folks here this morning and did
[03:42] <Parogar> trism: Your suggestion worked thanks. it compiled into something called a.out?
[03:42] <Out_Cold> darkstar1, there is an online man pages glossary
[03:43] <darkstar1> Out_Cold: I kinda figured that out I just want to open the Man options in a nicely formatted viewer to see what options it has
[03:43] <Parogar> Is it possible to name it LinkedList.exe or .out or whatever linux uses
[03:43] <von_neumann> mrkim: sounds like the resolution is too low and you are only seeing the top-left corner of the login screen
[03:43] <von_neumann> mrkim, I've seen similar... Try backing up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and regenerating it
[03:43] <trism> Parogar: you can specify the executable name with -o, linux doesn't require a certain extention for executables, just that their permissions are set correctly (+x)
[03:43] <Out_Cold> Parogar, you can name an mp3 on linux somesong.mp3.avi.mp4.exe.cab if you really wanted to....
[03:44] <Parogar> LOL
[03:44] <Parogar> cool
[03:44] <mrkim> von, no, resolution looks correct, and from prior checks drivers are ok
[03:44] <Dj-Pilot94> Out_cold what kind of programing apps are there?
[03:44] <Parogar> Other than C and C++ does ubuntu come with anything for assembler?
[03:45] <Parogar> I can't right 16bit assembler apps on windows. There's no way to do it. Was kind of hoping to do it on ubuntu
[03:45] <mrkim> von, no terminal jockey here, I need the commands :>(
[03:45] <Out_Cold> Dj-Pilot94, almost any kind you can think of.. search around in synaptic package manager
[03:45] <Dj-Pilot94> How are you Pming me?
[03:45] <Dj-Pilot94> /pm Out_Cold
[03:45] <misteredia> ben!!! on fait komen ici???????????
[03:45] <Out_Cold> i'm not pm'n anyone :p
[03:45] <Dj-Pilot94> Oh? It shows as red?
[03:45] <cheako> I asked in #upstart and they don't do user support.  Is there any one here who can help debug this?
[03:46] <misteredia> j compren rien du tt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[03:46] <Out_Cold> but try /msg Out_Cold some stupid message
[03:46] <misteredia> please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[03:46] <seanbrystone_> oh good lord
[03:46] <misteredia> again please!!!!!!!!!!
[03:47] <Interficio> Anyone have a quick way to switch between audio outputs, like headphones to speakers?
[03:47] <Out_Cold> Interficio, alsamixer
[03:48] <rastasean> hello people. about 5 years ago i had a program running on my mac OS X system that allowed me to run many commands via web interface since apache was running on the computer. has anyone heard of anything like this for linux?
[03:48] <darkstar1> brb.. going to logout to test my changes
[03:48] <misteredia> please don't let me be misunderstood!!!!!!!!!!!!
[03:48] <rastasean> you install the program on your system etc file and login to the specific port from web remotely
[03:48] <warriorforgod> rastasean: Was it webmin?
[03:48] <misteredia> thank you!!!!!
[03:48] <ChogyDan> rastasean: maybe ebox?
[03:48] <rastasean> i'm rebooting in two minutes so try to think of is
[03:49] <rastasean> warriorforgod, that sounds right!!!
[03:49] <rastasean> i will look at ebox
[03:49] <Parogar> How do you uninstall Grub?
[03:49] <ChogyDan> Parogar: what do you want instead?
[03:49] <rastasean> warriorforgod, that can work on linux as well, right?
[03:49] <warriorforgod> rastasean: yes.
[03:49] <Parogar> well I tried reformatting to get windows to work again, and Grub is still there
[03:50] <Interficio> out_cold: any chance of like a quick switch icon?
[03:50] <rastasean> i'll be back in a 5 or so
[03:50] <rastasean> warriorforgod, thanks!
[03:50] <warriorforgod> rastasean: np
[03:50] <Parogar> lol, it's been a nightmare since downloading the ubuntu ISO wish I could reverse everything I have done today
[03:50] <Dj-Pilot94> Have a usb?
[03:50] <Out_Cold> Interficio, find out how to add/remove the devices in the command line then make a shell script
[03:50] <Dj-Pilot94> Downlaod unetbooting and put it on there
[03:50] <ChogyDan> Parogar: you need to start windows, and then run its command to fix the mbr.  Im not sure what the commands are though...
[03:50] <seanbrystone_> lol Parogar part of leaving the Windows nest, is a learning to like pain. :)
[03:50] <Dj-Pilot94> Much easyer
[03:51] <Parogar> I tried that
[03:51] <von_neumann> ChogyDan, fdisk /mbr
[03:51] <Parogar> My entire PC is pretty much down completly
[03:51] <Parogar> now
[03:51] <von_neumann> or format /mbr
[03:51] <scorpione> problem ubuntu 9.10 with Modem sagem 800 port usb
[03:51] <von_neumann> been a long time :-)
[03:51] <Dj-Pilot94> What did you do
[03:51] <Ritlee> Parogar, fixmbr is the command if you're running xp or older, but... go into your bios and disable the virus protection if it has it
[03:51] <ChogyDan> von_neumann: I hard it changed for windows 7
[03:51] <superloooooser> whats a good ubuntu distro for an old 600mhz pc
[03:51] <Parogar> Here is the full story. For the last year I have been running windows 7 perfectly fine. Today I downloaded Ubuntu, did a manual install on a spare partition.
[03:52] <Parogar> Restarted my PC
[03:52] <superloooooser> with 700mb ram
[03:52] <von_neumann> might have, seems like simply popping in the recovery CD would be a goof place to start though
[03:52] <Ritlee> it could be preventing you from writing to your mbr
[03:52] <Parogar> got an error that windows was corrupt, restarted again
[03:52] <von_neumann> err s/goof/good/
[03:52] <Ritlee> fixmbr changed at wind vista
[03:52] <edbian> Parogar, It's a lot easier if you type everything on one line
[03:52] <Parogar> booted rom teh HDD that ubuntu was in, and ubuntu worked
[03:52] <Parogar> ok sorry
[03:52] <darolu> superloooooser: with that ram, any ubuntu distro should run relatively fine
[03:52] <ChogyDan> Parogar: do you have multiple drives?
[03:52] <Dj-Pilot94> Linux is not windows
[03:52] <Parogar> So I booted from the hard drive that ubuntu was in. And everything worked fine in ubuntu, but I really needed to get windows 7 back
[03:52] <Parogar> Yes I do
[03:53] <darolu> superloooooser: I have a similar computer (P3@650Mhx with 384MB RAM) running Debian 5 amazingly fast
[03:53] <Radio-b> 600mhz what
[03:53] <Dj-Pilot94> Did you install to the WHOLE disk?
[03:53] <ChogyDan> Parogar: you may need to change which drive the computer is booting from in the bios
[03:53] <mrkim> Houston, we have a problem!  I'm runnin 9.10 (386) w/proprietary nVidia 185 drivers & installed a kernel update this morning, then rebooted as instructed. Machine reboots->username screen ->password sreen then ... the ubuntu logo and progress bar vanish leaving only the login screen background on the screen.  No windows to enter any info into, nothing, just the login screen background.  I worked with 2 folks here this morning and did
[03:53] <Parogar> So I tried the recovery console, it no longer could find my windows installation. I used bootsect to repair the mbr to no avail. Now i just installed a fresh copy of windows 7 and formatted the ubuntu one. And now windows 7 loadsinto a black screen and grub is still on my PC
[03:53] <superloooooser> 600mhz intel pentium 3 (as oppossed to an awesome 600mhz omap3 arm)
[03:53] <Parogar> ChogyDan: I have tried manually  booting from each drive to no avail
[03:54] <Dj-Pilot94> Yea i did that before
[03:54] <Dj-Pilot94> i used nuke and boot and redid everything
[03:54] <Parogar> this happened to you?
[03:54] <Dj-Pilot94> I had no data i needed to keep tho
[03:54] <Dj-Pilot94> Yea kinda
[03:55] <Dj-Pilot94> Not with win 7 tho
[03:55] <Parogar> Kinda wish I never got involved now
[03:55] <Dj-Pilot94> :P
[03:55] <Parogar> Ubuntu just wiped out my entire system lol
[03:55] <Parogar> If I could only get rid of Grub
[03:55] <Out_Cold> Parogar, to ubuntu's defence... YOU erased everything.. not ubuntu
[03:55] <Dj-Pilot94> Did you happen to use THe WIBI ( the exe to instal inside windows )
[03:55] <Parogar> no
[03:56] <seanbrystone_> Wubi*
[03:56] <Hellhound666> Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem with java.  My plugin installer isn't showing up in my browser anymore.
[03:56] <Out_Cold> Parogar, look at Hirem's boot CD
[03:56] <Dj-Pilot94> Also i agree with Old cold
[03:56] <port80> Parogar: did you want to try Ubuntu, but still keep windows?
[03:56] <Parogar> I didn't erase anything Out_Cold
[03:56] <Parogar> my important windows 7 is still on the hdd
[03:56] <neezer> what is a great Wireless router with wired gigabit ethernet on it? I'm not really looking for anything fancy.\
[03:56] <Parogar> my motherboard/mbr or whatever just doesn't know it's there
[03:56] <Parogar> I didn't change a single thing on it
[03:56] <neezer> Wireless N would be nice.
[03:56] <Out_Cold> !grub
[03:56] <Out_Cold> !grub2
[03:56] <Radio-b> you can either reinstall grub or run the windows repair utility
[03:57] <ChogyDan> Parogar: can you keep your comments to a single line?
[03:57] <Dj-Pilot94> !grub 2
[03:57] <Radio-b> depends on what you like to see first
[03:57] <Parogar> Ubuntu did something to my mbr and now I can't boot to anything anymore. Sure chogy, sorry
[03:57] <Dj-Pilot94> !grub2
[03:57] <rastasean> warriorforgod, i'm back. its been a very long time since i used webmin. does it require apache on?
[03:57] <Dj-Pilot94> par
[03:58] <ChogyDan> !webmin | rastasean
[03:58] <Kalidarn> how do you make the keyboard map permanent ie: setxkbmap us
[03:58] <stealth-> while trying to install TOR in the ubuntu live cd, I added the respritory, and then apt-get crashes while downloading with "tor: Depends: tsocks but it is not installable". Anyone know what to do here?
[03:58] <Dj-Pilot94> parogar - type !grub2
[03:58] <Parogar> !grub2
[03:59] <rastasean> ubottu, thats sad. does that require apache on?
[03:59] <ChogyDan> stealth-: maybe you need to enable the universe repos
[03:59] <darkstar1> What's the command option to run cairo dock with no openGL as my openGL version is broken?
[03:59] <ph1g> So i'm running xdmcp on my ubunut box. When I hit it from a terminal, it loads up but it's running really sllllloooowwww. It doesn't seem like a resource issue - plenty of cpu and mem not used and the CLI runs fine.
[03:59] <ph1g> Any pointers?
[03:59] <Dj-Pilot94> grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards.
[03:59] <stealth-> ChogyDan: Okay, I'll give it a shot.
[03:59] <naquan> !grub
[03:59] <darkstar1> Yes I asked in #cairo but no one's answering
[03:59] <ph1g> !xdmcp
[04:00] <naquan> !gtk
[04:00] <Parogar> This is weird. Now I can't even boot into the windows recovery DvD?
[04:01] <Dj-Pilot94> make sure you boot to CD in bios
[04:01] <Radio-b> Parogar: with bios boot sequence set to CDROM?
[04:01] <stealth-> ChogyDan: It worked :) Thanks
[04:01] <Dj-Pilot94> What Radio-b said
[04:01] <ChogyDan> np
[04:01] <Parogar> yeah, It tries to, I see the windows logo, and then I get a black screen
[04:01] <Parogar> I think I just destroyed my entire PC
[04:01] <Semitones> is it possible to give pulseaudio a higher priority? So my audio doesn't stutter whenever the CPU does something else?
[04:01] <Radio-b> that sounds like hardware failure
[04:01] <RPS> Hello Guys, could someone take a look at the something for me & make sure I'm thinking correctly (before I melt my laptop down?) LOL https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[04:01] <lucio> como es el canal en español
[04:01] <nomnex> I need package information: what do I need from the repos (9.10) to be started with LaTex. Is "texlive-latex-base" the full or meta-package for LaTex? Total beginner here. Thanks
[04:01] <RPS> It's simple what I want to know
[04:02] <Ritlee> Semitones try nice?
[04:02] <Parogar> It's not. The only change I've made in this last year is downloading that ubuntu ISO
[04:02] <Parogar> It crippled my entire PC
[04:02] <Ritlee> semitones nice -9 or 10 is default
[04:02] <Radio-b> hardware death happens regardless of what you download
[04:03] <Dj-Pilot94> Parogar - Downlaoding something will not kill your PC
[04:03] <Kalidarn> hmm, usually you change the keyboard in xorg.conf however it's not in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:03] <Parogar> I'm sure there is probably some really difficult method of getting SOMETHING back up and running.
[04:03] <Out_Cold> Parogar, please don't blame your downfalls on ubuntu or us.. instead look for solutions using ubottu, google, ubuntu forums and lastly us
[04:03] <Kalidarn> haie with Option "XkbLayout" "us"
[04:04] <ng0n> update blew my grub file.. what do i do ?
[04:04] <Radio-b> if your system fails to boot a windows disc, something is more wrong than the software
[04:04] <mrkim> Houston, we have a problem! Runnin 9.10 (386) w/ nVidia 185 drivers & installed a kernel update this morning, rebooted as instructed. Machine reboots->username screen ->password sreen then ... the ubuntu logo and progress bar vanish leaving only the login screen background on the screen.  I worked with 2 folks here this morning and did verify that my Xserver is ok so it doesn't seem to have anything to do with my display capabilites.
[04:04] <Absolute0> How can I use the open source ati driver?
[04:04] <Absolute0> there is not default xorg.conf file
[04:04] <Absolute0> *no
[04:04] <Radio-b> (assuming it booted windows prior)
[04:04] <Dj-Pilot94> ng0n i had that same thing happen to me
[04:04] <ng0n> dj. uggg. it's sick huh ?
[04:04] <Dj-Pilot94> Huh?
[04:05] <ng0n> i'm using wubi. if it was on a linux filesystem i could fix it.
[04:05] <ng0n> but wubi is new to me.
[04:05] <ChogyDan> Semitones: I heard that was delayed.  Maybe in lucid or something
[04:05] <Dj-Pilot94> Dont use Wubi
[04:05] <ng0n> now u tell me :)
[04:05] <rastasean> does anyone know how to get video chat working with the kopete application for yahoo
[04:05] <ng0n> it's been updating FINE for a month.
[04:05] <ng0n> o well.
[04:05] <Dj-Pilot94> I have never had it work for me and just ends up haveing to reinstall everything
[04:05] <rastasean> they submit it for me to see and i accept but never shows up
[04:05] <rerere> Hello good people, can someone please help me? I have installed ubuntu on my ps3, did everything correct but the user i have created do not have permissions to change anything... even if i try to poen "user and groups" automatically receive a message "you have no permissions"
[04:06] <ng0n> i can't seem to boot it from grub.
[04:06] <Dj-Pilot94> rererere use sudo COMMAND
[04:06] <ng0n> it finds the vmlinuz.. but blows up on initrd.
[04:06] <ng0n> sudo.. hmmm.
[04:06] <Kalidarn> what's the correct way to change the keyboard layout systemwide?
[04:06] <ng0n> on initrd it says "no such disk'
[04:07] <cheako> Hay, runlevel returned unknowen.  so I ran telinit 2 and my system came up.  Would that mean something happened?
[04:07] <Ritlee> rerere have you tried to use sudo?
[04:07] <Semitones> Ritlee, ChogyDan, if pulseaudio is already nice -9 by default, would making it even less nice really help things?
[04:07] <port80> Parogar: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[04:07] <Ritlee> hehe semitones, use nice -7
[04:07] <ng0n> is there a wubi amd 64 boot CD somewhere ?
[04:07] <Semitones> ?
[04:07] <ng0n> i can fix it if i can get into it.
[04:07] <Semitones> wouldn't that make it stutter more
[04:07] <Ritlee> your programs open at -9 by default, the lower the number the higher the priority
[04:08] <Semitones> oooh
[04:08] <Absolute0> The default ubuntu install has no xorg.conf, how can I add more resolutions?
[04:08] <Semitones> Ritlee, I thought positive numbers were "nice," ie they let for other things to finish first
[04:08] <Parogar> I have just made some progess. I was able to put ubuntu at least, back on my PC. but only after removing every single trace of windows. What it seems like is that ubuntu wasn't at fault after all. it seems like Windows didn't like glub, and set off a bomb in everything
[04:08] <rerere> thank you very much dj-pilot and ritlee yes i already try sudo but it starts saying that my user name is not on sudoers file
[04:08] <nomnex> Kalidarn, system, preference, keyboard
[04:08] <ChogyDan> Absolute0: have you tried xrandr?
[04:08] <Semitones> Ritlee, so the more negative a number was, the higher priority :P
[04:08] <Ritlee> semitones hehe the - signifies an option
[04:08] <Absolute0> ChogyDan: I tried the gui tool
[04:08] <Semitones> oh!
[04:09] <Semitones> haha
[04:09] <Billiard> Absolute0: you can use an xorg.conf if you make one
[04:09] <Ritlee> semitones no
[04:09] <Absolute0> Billiard: i'd probably mess that up
[04:09] <Dj-Pilot94> Parogar : Now reinstall windows
[04:09] <Parogar> The ubuntu disc was able to repair my mbr, and I'm now able to boot into things again, but only after I completley removed everything windows. For better or for worse, looks like I'll be stuck with ubuntu for awhile
[04:09] <Billiard> Absolute0: what gfx card do you have?
[04:09] <Absolute0> Billiard: radeon hd 5570
[04:10] <donvito2> !counterstrike
[04:10] <Absolute0> not supported :)
[04:10] <Billiard> Absolute0: ok idk what the ati tool is
[04:10] <donvito2> !counter-strike
[04:10] <donvito2> !cs
[04:10] <Dj-Pilot94> Parogor : Now reinstall windows
[04:10] <Absolute0> Screen 0: minimum 640 x 400, current 1400 x 1050, maximum 1400 x 1050
[04:10] <Absolute0> my screen is 1920x1080
[04:10] <Parogar> Dj-Pilo94: I think I'm going to hold off on that. My #1 use of my PC is programming and watching movies. since I reformatted my PC, I won't be able to use windows anymore anyway
[04:10] <Hellhound666> this doesn't make any sense, I just installed java and I go to test my java and supposedly it doesn't exist???
[04:10] <Parogar> Microsoft only lets you format 3 times with the one I bought, after that they won't let you use the serial anymore
 cheako: edit /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf and remove "and net-device-up IFACE=lo" from the "start on" line
[04:11] <donvito2> how to edit ifconfig
[04:11] <Dj-Pilot94> parogar : Oh wow i forgot but you could install it and use the tiral at least
[04:11] <Ritlee> parogar, lol call them to activate they'll reset it
[04:11] <Radio-b> uh
[04:11] <Dj-Pilot94> And then get a new key
[04:11] <holmser> I'm trying to set up a mail server, and I can recieve mail perfectly, but when I go to send mail I get this error:  Mar  4 20:10:01 H4ckM3 postfix/smtpd[32548]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from m0f0e36d0.tmodns.net[208.54.14.15]: 554 5.7.1 <holmser171@gmail.com>: Relay access denied; from=<chris@holmser.net> to=<holmser171@gmail.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<localhost>
[04:11] <Radio-b> you can install as many times as you want so long as the hardware doesn't change drastically
[04:11] <port80> Parogar: if you need windows, you can also do a trick that i am doing.  I have a PC that is work issued, so I cannot put anything on it but I still wanted Linux for my own use.  So I put it on an external usb drive and boot from that when it is not work; leaving the windows C: drive alone.  works fine.
[04:11] <Red_HamsterX> holmser, that's likely greylisting.
[04:11] <Kalidarn> how do you make the keyboard map permanent ie: setxkbmap us
[04:12] <holmser> greylisting?
[04:12] <Hellhound666> yet somehow I'm playing double dragon in java...yet I can't launch java virtual machine.  java --version
[04:12] <Dj-Pilot94> I do what port 80 did
[04:12] <archlich> holmser, you didn't enable mail relaying on postfix
[04:12] <Red_HamsterX> holmser, send it again in about ten to thirty minutes. Google the concept.
[04:12] <rastasean> so i'm looking to an alternative to webmin and ebox. does one exist?
[04:12] <holmser> will do
[04:12] <Hellhound666> dunno I'll come back...
[04:12] <Parogar> In the long run this is probably for the best. I don't like how fragile windows is. It blows up if you do anything
[04:12] <Dj-Pilot94> OLny if you dont know what your doing...
[04:12] <Ritlee> we might have a convert yet
[04:12] <Radio-b> I'm really curious as what you are doing Parogar
[04:13] <ChogyDan> Hellhound666: java -version
[04:13] <Dj-Pilot94> Me too
[04:13] <Parogar> I don't profess to be the greatest at anything. But if windows is going to massacre my mbr just because I installed ubuntu
[04:13] <Parogar> Then perhaps I am not smart enough to use it
[04:13] <Dj-Pilot94> Lawl
[04:13] <Dj-Pilot94> How old are you? 13?
[04:13] <Parogar> 21
[04:13] <mikebuntu> looking for a gmail checker app of some sort that works with IMAP IDLE and also has filtered notifications... any ideas?
[04:13] <Scarra3> What is a good software for ubuntu that allows me to encrypt my thumb drives
[04:13] <Radio-b> your windows 7 serial will work as many times as you want if the hardware doesn't change
[04:14] <Radio-b> I don't know where you're getting that info from
[04:14] <Dj-Pilot94> scarra3 - Hang on i can help let me just get the name
[04:14] <Parogar> I bought an OEM copy from newegg. They don't follow the same rules as regular copies
[04:14] <mrkim> Parogar, I'm 53 and I can break ubuntu like a champ ;-)
[04:14] <Radio-b> yeah they do
[04:14] <Dj-Pilot94> OEM will install 9999999 times if its windows 7
[04:15] <Hellhound666> ChoggyDan:  can't start java virtual machine
[04:15] <Radio-b> the only reason it wouldn't validate is if the hardware was changed
[04:15] <Radio-b> or died somehow
[04:15] <Radio-b> yeah, I think you have some hardware failure somewhere
[04:15] <Hellhound666> could not create java virtual machine.  strange I'm playing a java game online right now
[04:15] <ChogyDan> Hellhound666: o well, when I had 2 -'s, it gave me that error, but one -, it was fine.  Maybe you could pastebin everything
[04:15] <Parogar> I really don't think my hardware is failing. After reinstalling Ubuntu, and deleting all my windows partitions, I'm able to get into ubuntu and run perfectly
[04:15] <darkstar1> what is the best GUI program/widget/tool for configuring SAMBA?
[04:16] <Flare183> !best | darkstar1
[04:16] <holmser> whats strange is that I can telnet into postfix and send messages to my gmail account
[04:16] <Radio-b> no one knows the story regardless
[04:16] <holmser> but it won't let me send messages from my phone
[04:16] <Ritlee> Parogar, seriously, call to activate, they will reset if you explain, they don't ask many q's and it doesn't matter oem or not
[04:16] <port80> Parogar: there is a learning curve to Linux, but relax, it gets easier.  Besides, if you use windows, you can use it forever and never learn a thing; but w/ Linux you will learn so much every time you boot... explore, enjoy.
[04:16] <Hellhound666> CoggyDan:  I'm going to try and get some things working and I'll let you know when the errors start flyin at me.
[04:16] <Scarra3> Ok thx Dj-Pilot94
[04:17] <Parogar> I am going to stick with it for quite a bit. Ritlee: I will call them, but you really think they will let me reactive if I explain it?
[04:17] <Hellhound666> thanks though
[04:17] <Ritlee> hehe port80 i agree completely... though take my class and i might get a fchance to show you a thing or two with windows ;) sadly i have to teach it... amy uses it :(
[04:17] <Parogar> From this whole experience, I gather that the step where I went wrong, was NOT using a guided install. It was at that point that everything broke
[04:17] <darkstar1> ubottu: I'm new to the whole linux thing and samba. I'm also determined to fully make the transition this time that's why I'm asking because I'm not even sure I have a gui for configuring it on my system
[04:18] <lyrae> could i ask for ffmeg help here? and encoders?
[04:18] <Parogar> the only reason I did a manual install in the first place, was because it was the only option that allowed me to select the partition that I wanted to put it on.
[04:18] <RPS> Hey Guys I'm being asked to reboot from terminal window & I can't figure out if I need to just hit reboot or do something else before I reboot. I've pasted in what they asked for & now I'm not sure... can someone take a moment and look it over?

[04:18] <vavoysh> Hi, I have a question. A few months ago, my computer's sound card started emitting static. I disabled the mike, removed all peripherals, and there was still static. I opened up the case to check the wires, and they appear fine. I have another sound card in my computer, a CA106 Soundblaster, only it doesn't work in ubuntu, even after messing with it in alsamixer. It does work in windows. I went through the huge thread in the fo
[04:18] <vavoysh> rums pertaining to sound cards, and it didn't work. Can anyone help me either remove the static or get the other sound card to work? Thank you in advance
[04:18] <mrkim> Parogar, once you get used to it you'll throw rocks at 7
[04:19] <ZykoticK9> RPS, to reboot from terminal you can use "sudo shutdown -r now"
[04:19] <RPS> Dang it looks like its sound card day
[04:19] <Hellhound666> ChoggyDan:  Well i'm installing Netbeans, it has everything so if I still run into problems then I won't know what to do.
[04:19] <RPS> ZykoticK9, well it's a weird place I'm at
[04:20] <ZykoticK9> RPS, did you create a pastebin?  if so what's the link?

[04:20] <port80> Ritlee: I am sure I would learn a lot; but i have so much to learn here.  I will say that I think it was a good thing that Microsoft will allow you to download Visual C++ for free.  Perhaps a smart move on their part.
[04:20] <RPS> ZykoticK9, I'll do it right away! Thanks
[04:21] <Ritlee> port80, they need a lot more good moves to do anything good anymore
[04:21] <ChogyDan> Hellhound666: i dunno, sorry
[04:21] <holmser> anyone feel like taking the time to help me troubleshoot this mail server problem?
[04:21] <holmser> I would really appreciate it

[04:24] <Ritlee> port80, but yes microsoft may not be on the decline but their not climbing near as fast as they were
[04:24] <Ritlee> vavoysh your card is probably going south
[04:24] <bazhang> Ritlee, port80 please continue this in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:24] <vavoysh> Ritlee, which one? The static or the soundblaster?
[04:24] <Parogar> Just tried reinstalling windows 7, and it blew up ubuntu lol. I guess I really have to pick between one or the other
[04:24] <Ritlee> vavoysh, the one emitting the static
[04:25] <Ritlee> sorry bazhang
[04:25] <Parogar> the mbr doesn't seem to abe able to acoomdate them both. I must be doing something wrong.
[04:25] <vavoysh> Ritlee, so do you know how to get the soundblaster one working?
[04:25] <rastasean> hello people. i am looking for an alternative to ebox and webmin. Do any of you know an alternative?
[04:25] <mrkim> Parogar, you need to install windows 1st, then ubuntu
[04:25] <ZykoticK9> RPS, i'm no sound expert - but from the help.ubuntu site instructions it seems like you should reboot after your change from your pastebin
[04:25] <Ritlee> yeah but it under your tire before you go to work
[04:25] <bowserinmario3>  ok i just installed xbmc live and i have a f6d4050 v2 usb wifi adapter, how do i get it working?

[04:27] <Ritlee> vavoysh, most likely they're cheap anymore
[04:27] <ZykoticK9> RPS, reboot using the "sudo shutdown -r now" command in terminal, or use the GUI restart

[04:38] <ZykoticK9> rolsworth, if you're talking about Lucid, join #ubuntu+1 (you basically have to manually set the new theme)
[04:40] <robb> what would be the user ID of files deleted via "delete" command in a file browser? would it be the actual user, or the bin that did the delete?

[04:56] <RPS> Ok Guys, I actually fixed it with the line I added a 15 minutes ago, but missed one setting ...when I got it right everything is fine now. Thanks to ALL who worked towards helping me fix things! It appears that Ubuntu works too well these days and us "less educated" linux people can;t remember everything we learn because we don;t have to use the things we learn often enough! :) Once again Thanks!

[05:01] <major_redhat> ranjan: ubottu is a bot, not a person
[05:01] <ranjan> major_redhat, ok...:)
[05:01] <Ritlee> rww, ummm gimme a minute lol
[05:01] <rww> Ritlee: If it's like my Dell netbook, there'll be a sticker on the bottom

[05:02] <gopi> Jon-4: on karmic?
[05:02] <Serraphyn> Is there an easy way to repartition a hard drive without loosing the data so that I can make a partition to install the pre-release versions of ubuntu?
[05:02] <booboo> ranjan,  here are a few screenshots of radience  http://www.speedyshare.com/files/21264410/radience.tar.gz
[05:02] <rastasean> claws_, google them
[05:03] <rastasean> claws_, what do you want to do?
[05:03] <Jon-4> gopi: Yes
[05:03] <Ritlee> rww it's a dell mini-9 fyi
[05:03] <coz_> ranjan,   that was me from the other machine:)
[05:03] <rww> Ritlee: do you have an ethernet cable or something you can use for internet access temporarily?
[05:03] <Ritlee> sure
[05:04] <claws_> rastasean: well... this is my 10'th day on linux.. i realy need to learn from basics
[05:04] <Dj-Pilot94> http://www.linuxconfig.org/Bash_scripting_Tutorial
[05:04] <rastasean> claws_, type in a command and --help it will tell you all it does
[05:04] <Ritlee> rww, plugged in now
[05:04] <rastasean> claws_, congrats on using linux
[05:05] <genii> !cli
[05:05] <rww> Ritlee: Install Ubuntu as normal. After installation, restart into the new install, plug in the ethernet cable, and do "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter bcmwl-kernel-source". Restart. It should then work fine.
[05:05] <gopi> Jon-4: do a fsck
[05:05] <rww> Ritlee: the b43-fwcutter package will ask you whether to download firmware during installation. Hit yes, and make sure you leave it connected to the internet all the way through the installation
[05:06] <carlll> i just got my ubuntu cd in the mail but i realized i want kubuntu WHAT DOES I DO?
[05:06] <Ritlee> rww okay, got that saved in a txt... now how 'bout the mini's crazy screen size will it be supported?
[05:07] <Jon-4> gopi: Failed, see http://pastebin.com/GApRNLyx
[05:07] <vorian> carlll: download kubuntu or request a kubuntu cd from shipit
[05:07] <carlll> OK i will do that
[05:07] <rww> Ritlee: I'm using a Dell Mini 10v, with 1024x600 resolution. It works fine, though I occasionally have to hold down alt and drag windows around to see all of them.
[05:07] <carlll> ty
[05:07] <Ritlee> rww resolution is 1024x600
[05:07] <coz_> ranjan,   I dont think those themes will work on karmic however  they do need a different engine and I dont see reference to that
[05:07] <bazhang> carlll, install kubuntu-desktop then remove gnome?
[05:07] <Ritlee> rww sweeeeeeeet
[05:08] <claws_> rastasean: thank u :) im happy it made me able to throw ms cd's in my fireplace yesterday
[05:08] <gopi> Jon-4: ROOT?
[05:08] <rastasean> claws_, good place for them! ha
[05:08] <Ritlee> tyvm sounds like a weekend project
[05:08] <Jon-4> gopi: Same error. It's in FAT not EXT2
[05:08] <coz_> ranjan,  however...if you go here    http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/install-proposed-community-themes.html  it tells you how to install the updated murrine engine for thise to work in karmic
[05:08] <Jon-4> gopi: Does fsck work on FAT?
[05:09] <gopi> Jon-4: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[05:09] <Jon-4> gopi: [FAT32 of course]
[05:09] <fannagoganna1> Jon-4, fsck works on vfat, prob. not FAT
[05:09] <ranjan> coz_, k thank you..from the same site i found it..thanks for ur help :)
[05:09] <Jon-4> I just had a USB drive in my computer, and I deleted a file, went to umount it, it said "would you like to empty trash?" I said yes, and then after 2-3 minutes of it still waiting to be safely removed, I pulled it myself. Now over half my files have garbaged names like 6√┤@Bƒσ.╘┴3  Any way to recover my data?
[05:09] <genii> Jon-4: fsck.vfat
[05:10] <genii> Jon-4: Also remember to use something like sync to flush computer data to removable media before actually pulling them out
[05:11] <Jon-4> genii: Additional help please? It's asking me 1) Copy original to backup 2) Copy backup to original 3) quit, and what do you mean by "use something like sync to flush computer data  . . ."
[05:11] <rick_> hey whats up?
[05:13] <mrkim> Please help if you can. Runnin 9.10 (386)  & installed a kernel update this morning, rebooted as instructed. After entering user/pass the ubuntu logo and progress bar vanish leaving only the login screen background on the screen.  Worked with 2 folks here this morning and did verify that my video settings are Ok.  I'm on my second machine which I have also already taken the same update but haven't rebooted yet before getting my other
[05:14] <genii> Jon-4: USB drives, or other removeable media like external hard drives... the data you think is written to them is not always immediately written to the physical device yet but waiting in a queue on the computer until so much data gathers and then it is written. When you issue command: sync     it flushes the data residing on the computer to the external storage and writes it making sure no half-written things are existing.
[05:14] <carlllewispope> I have a very dumb question, but i want to know the answer,
[05:14] <carlllewispope> When I'm using windows vista my laptop gets kinda hot, but when i switch to ubuntu on the same laptop it stays between cool and a little warm. why is this?
[05:14] <Jon-4> genii: Ok, as for now, I want to copy backup TO original yes? This would restore what it can? Other option is copy original to backup.
[05:15] <Ritlee> carlllewispope, could be just not as many processes taxing out your cpu
[05:15] <tp43_> carlllewispope, you got viruses
[05:15] <tp43_> carlllewispope, somebody is sleeping in your bed
[05:16] <bazhang> tp43_, that is not appropriate for here
[05:17] <genii> Jon-4: You said earlier yo wanted to try and rescue data off it. For that I'd suggest ddrescue. As for copying orignal to backup or backup to original, etc... I have no context for how you are using that
[05:17] <Jon-4> genii: Here's context:
[05:17] <Interficio> now that asoundconf has been removed, how do I switch soundcards?
[05:17] <Jon-4> sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdc1
[05:17] <Jon-4> [sudo] password for jon:
[05:17] <Jon-4> dosfsck 3.0.3, 18 May 2009, FAT32, LFN
[05:17] <Jon-4> There are differences between boot sector and its backup.
[05:17] <Jon-4> Differences: (offset:original/backup)
[05:17] <FloodBot4> Jon-4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:17] <Jon-4>   65:01/00
[05:17]  * genii sips
[05:18] <Jon-4> My bad, should have pastbined it.
[05:18] <carlll> is there a way to get internet explorer on ubuntu?
[05:19] <Ritlee> carlll WHY!!!!
[05:19] <archlich> carlll, yes, check out wine, i'll get you a link
[05:19] <superfirelord42> carlll: yes, use wine
[05:19] <genii> carlll: Aside from the question of "WHY?"  google ie4l
[05:19] <Jon-4> genii: Should I use ddrescue before fsck.vfat ?
[05:19] <genii> Jon-4: Yes
[05:19] <carlll> idk i like ie more than any except google's
[05:19] <archlich> carlll, http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
[05:19] <Ritlee> carlll ie is horrible
[05:20] <archlich> you can install wine from the repositories
[05:21] <Ritlee> ie is a resource hog, and atleast inside of windows is a portal for malware
[05:21] <Jon-4> genii: How do I use this? Just sudo ddresuce /dev/sdc1 /some/backup/location?
[05:21] <superfirelord42> carlll: just to warn you, i show that IE6 is rated only at bronze by the wine appdb
[05:21] <iflema> carlll copy and paste this into a terminal sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
[05:22] <Ritlee> chromium = google chrome?
[05:22] <ZykoticK9> carlll, if you must have ie (for reasons I cannot even fathom) you might want to check out ies4linux at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[05:22] <coz_> ranjan,   dont forget to reboot for those to take effect by the way :)
[05:22] <impi_> morning, and happy friday, does anyone know of some clock in software?
[05:22] <ZykoticK9> Ritlee, actually "chromium != google chrome"
[05:23] <Ritlee> lol k thx :P
[05:23] <DcMeese> Guyz, what are the best ubuntu packages on software center? I have PuTTY already.
[05:23] <coz_> impi_,   like for the desktop?
[05:23] <archlich> DcMeese, what are your requirements
[05:23] <ZykoticK9> Ritlee, chrome is based off of chromium though
[05:23] <superfirelord42> DcMeese: depends on what you want to do
[05:23] <tp43_> I think chrome browser is missing zooming and horizontal scroll
[05:23] <impi_> coz_, uhm, ja or web?
[05:23] <Jon-4> genii: How do I use this? Just sudo ddresuce /dev/sdc1 /some/backup/location? I don't want to break anything.
[05:23] <Ritlee> ZykoticK9, love the response, and the extra info thx
[05:23] <coz_> impi_,  there are several ways to get a clock on the desktop...one is sudo apt-get install screenlets... the other is sudo apt-get install cairo-clock
[05:24] <coz_> impi_,   that nick reminds me of the now gone pay version of ubuntu
[05:24] <impi_> coz_, lol sorry, maybe i explained wrong. clock-in to show my boss when i arrive at the office and when i leave :D
[05:24] <DcMeese> Im a webdesigner, I create iPhone themes, and I want to create cydia repositories, and also compile deb's
[05:24] <coz_> impi_,  oh  sorry :)
[05:24] <coz_> impi_,  time clock
[05:24] <impi_> coz_, ja in my country south africa an impi is a zulu warrior - lol
[05:25] <impi_> coz_, thank you let me check it out
[05:25] <coz_> impi_,  yes and  the icon for  impi linux was a zulu shield
[05:25] <Jon-4> I just had a USB drive in my computer, and I deleted a file, went to umount it, it said "would you like to empty trash?" I said yes, and then after 2-3 minutes of it still waiting to be safely removed, I pulled it myself. Now over half my files have garbaged names like 6√┤@Bƒσ.╘┴3  Any way to recover my data? [I have ddresuce but I don't want to use it improperly, anyone help?]
[05:26] <superfirelord42> Jon-4: umount the drive now to preserve data
[05:26] <Ritlee> jon-4 haven't you been listening to what people have been telling you?
[05:26] <coz_> ranjan,  i am liking this one theme radiance  :)
[05:27] <Jon-4> Ritlee: He just told me to "run ddresuce" and didn't tell me how to use it. Thanks for being a jerk
[05:27] <Jon-4> superfirelord42: Done
[05:27] <rastasean> does ANYONE have experience with ebox?
[05:28] <superfirelord42> Jon-4: use ddrescue to make sure to get a good image of the USB drive.
[05:28] <DcMeese> archlich & superfirelord42:  Im a webdesigner, I create iPhone themes, and I want to create cydia repositories, and also compile deb's... I am also interested in customizing the boot menu...
[05:28] <soreau> ! anyone | rastasean
[05:28] <archlich> DcMeese, mind if i pm you? i have a hust list
[05:28] <Jon-4> superfirelord42: so remount, and then do sudo ddresuce /dev/sdc1 /some/backup/location  ?
[05:28] <archlich> huge* list
[05:28] <Hellhound666> Is there a way to list IDE devices like you can with pci or usb devices?
[05:28] <rastasean> I am looking assistance with ebox and installing it on ubuntu.
[05:28] <DcMeese> archlich: Go ahead
[05:28] <superfirelord42> Jon-4: you should not need to remount the drive
[05:28] <{CR}ronos> hi my video card has fried so i am now using my onboard graphics, but i do not have the correct drivers installed. how can i do this?
[05:29] <Jon-4> superfirelord42: ok
[05:29] <DcMeese> HUST LIST!!?!!
[05:29] <Ritlee> Jon-4, http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Ddrescue
[05:29] <rastasean> {CR}ronos, attempt to scan hardware
[05:30] <cy__> hello very one
[05:30] <carlll> ok i know i just asked about ie but i also want THE FASTEST browser. (any suggestions?)
[05:30] <superfirelord42> DcMeese: from what I read, cydia tutorials for debian are valid in ubuntu. i dont know about iphone themes, i tend to only do function grub modifications, so i dont know anything special for that, but I found a list of software for web devel for ubuntu http://tips.webdesign10.com/using-linux-for-web-design-and-development-ubuntu
[05:30] <Hellhound666> what's the command for this cronos?
[05:30] <soreau> {CR}ronos: What is your card model as reported by the output of lspci|grep VGA?
[05:30] <Hellhound666> oh lol
[05:31] <Hellhound666> I'm an idiot
[05:31] <coz_> carlll,  chromium....
[05:31] <natethegreat1419> logout
[05:31] <coz_> carlll,  if you want one that already to go
[05:31] <superfirelord42> Jon-4: once you use the drive to get an image of the drive, you can try to run photorec to recover individual files from both the drive and the image. Is this a flash disk or a usb hard disk?
[05:31] <dyess002> I need help     I have changed to a session called Matchbox and now it is unresponsive and I can't log out and change the session. I can Log out but it don't give me the option to change sessions anymore it just goes back to Matchbox
[05:32] <superfirelord42> carlll: IMHO that is chrome/chromium
[05:32] <archlich> carlll, prism =p
[05:32] <archlich> Hellhound666, you can do a fdisk -l   to show all disk drives/partitions
[05:32] <Hellhound666> I'm looking for an old DVD drive connected via IDE
[05:33] <dyess002> I have tried   gdmflexiserver but that won't work
[05:33] <Hellhound666> archlich:  I need to scan for CD drives
[05:34] <Jon-4> superfirelord42: This is just a 4GB USB thumb stick, so I would assume it's flash.
[05:34] <soreau> dyess002: Sounds like its bypassing your DM
[05:34] <archlich> Hellhound666, lshal might suite your needs
[05:34] <superfirelord42> Hellhound666: did the BIOS show that the drive is connected during post?
[05:34] <coz_> carlll,  the problem with chormium is it doesnt have the plugins that I use on firefox
[05:34] <soreau> dyess002: How did you enable the matchbox session?
[05:34] <mdel> coz_: yeah like FIREBUG
[05:34] <superfirelord42> Jon-4: okay
[05:34] <Jon-4> superfirelord42: Almost done first pass through [just a --no-split] with 0 errors
[05:35] <dyess002> I loged out and changed it from there
[05:35] <coz_> mdel,  havent tried that one  ..googling now :)
[05:35] <mdel> coz_: only useful if your a webdev
[05:35] <Hellhound666> superfirelord:  yes it sure did it's weird.
[05:35] <srini> Ubuntu Support Internet Explorer>
[05:35] <Jon-4> superfirelord42: Finished with 0 errors.
[05:35] <RPS> Guys is there any other place to check volume controls. Mine seems a little bit lower than before. I opened alsamixer in the terminal and cranked it up to 100
[05:35] <xiambax> Hey, I just had an idea but I don't know if anyone has done it before. I installed the ubuntu netbook remix UI on a base install of ubuntu for a HDTV setup and it works awesome
[05:35] <superfirelord42> Jon-4: you used it to create an image file?
[05:35] <holgatti> Can anyone tell me how to install my drivers for a Gforce 6600? where can I find the drivers for kharma koala?
[05:36] <coz_> mdel,  oo I play and tinker so maybe I can try this one :)
[05:36] <Hellhound666> superfirelord:  It has to be some sort of hardware failure.  maybe there is a bent pin in there, or the drive is just failing.  It's really old.
[05:36] <xiambax> The big clickable buttons work great
[05:36] <mdel> coz_: its awesome.. simply the best
[05:36] <superfirelord42> Hellhound666: thats really strange there, normally from my expirence if it shows in POST, linux finds it
[05:36] <Jon-4> superfirelord42: I ran "sudo ddrescue --no-split /dev/sdc1 usbback1 usblog1"  which as far as I know takes the USB drive, does not split sectors, and makes a full backup to usbback1 and a log usblog1
[05:36] <absolutex3> lolz  Youg is root on his box
[05:36] <fluxy> Hello. Is there a (simple) means to do mesh (wifi) networking in ubuntu?
[05:37] <Jon-4> superfirelord42: It finished with 0 errors.
[05:37] <genii> Jon-4: Apologies, had a system lockup and required reboot. Syntax is like: ddrescue /dev/sdX# /some/other/place/not/on/sdX#/backupname.img
[05:37] <Jon-4> genii: Does it work without *.img?
[05:37] <Jon-4> genii: I just ran "sudo ddrescue --no-split /dev/sdc1 usbback1 usblog1" and it finished with 0 errors.
[05:37] <Hellhound666> superfirelord:  I'm looking for a program that will scan my system hardware right now.  maybe a diag program would help too.
[05:37] <genii> Jon-4: Yes, .img is optional just makes it easier to know what type of file it is
[05:37] <superfirelord42> Hellhound666: not sure on that and im trying to log off, genii you got Jon-4?
[05:38] <holgatti> Can anyone tell me how to install my drivers for a Gforce 6600?
[05:38] <genii> superfirelord42: For a little while at least
[05:38] <Jon-4> genii: Does 0 errors mean that it did not recover anything?
[05:38] <dyess002> soreau:  I had a login screen before that but not anymore it goes straight to Matchbox
[05:38] <superfirelord42> genii I was going to have him run photorec to try to recover files on the USB
[05:38] <soreau> {CR}ronos: Whats wrong with your drivers exactly?
[05:38] <srini> i want to use internet explorer on ubuntu... how to install???
[05:39] <genii> Jon-4: No, it means that it took a bit-by-bit copy of the hard drive or partition and copied that to a file without experiencing a problem
[05:39] <holgatti> dont know where to get drivers that are compatible
[05:39] <today> srinni install inside wine
[05:39] <Hellhound666> superfirelord:  alright I'll let ya go thanks for the help anyway.
[05:39] <Jon-4> genii: Alright. What is the next step?
[05:39] <blakkheim> srini: why would you do that
[05:39] <tp43_> omg, why people luv ie so much?
[05:39] <FireCrotch> srini: I wouldn't recommend that at all - you're better off running Internet Explorer inside of a Windows virtual machine
[05:39] <soreau> dyess002: Try getting to a tty with Ctrl+Alt+F1, then kill X and do /etc/init.d/gdm start
[05:39] <xiambax> http://www.flickr.com/photos/xiambax/4407479317/ <--- netbook remix UI running on HDTV
[05:39] <today> tp43 ihate IE
[05:39] <xiambax> pretty sweet eh?
[05:39] <Ritlee> srini seriously we were just there.... WHY!?!?!
[05:39] <today> i usually run FF
[05:40] <soreau> ! pm | {CR}ronos
[05:40] <FireCrotch> srini: that said, there is a project called ies4linux that allows you to do so, available here: http://www.tatanka.com.br
[05:40] <tp43_> I always install firefox, I never use ie, if I am on a windows os
[05:40] <johnnyCbad> What time did the new Lucid themes roll out? They're really great :)
[05:40] <carlll> i want "object dock" but idk if it comes FOR linux
[05:40] <genii> Jon-4: You then loop-mount the file that was made and try to copy whatever might be useful from it
[05:41] <srini> FireCrotch:: Wine support ie?
[05:41] <Ritlee> why leave windows if you can't leave IE?
[05:41] <DcMeese> srini: Why IN THE WORLD would you want IE on linux? For webpage testing?
[05:41] <Jon-4> genii: Assume I am a complete noob. I don't know how to do that.
[05:41] <soreau> {CR}ronos: Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to pastebin.com and quit pmming me please
[05:41] <Hellhound666> whoa whoa whoa somebody wants IE on linux...wow
[05:41] <FireCrotch> srini: Pretty much. The link that I posted makes it pretty easy to set up - it does all of the special wine configuration for you
[05:41] <Hellhound666> trying to run IE in wine?
[05:41] <johnnyCbad> Haha IE on linux
[05:41] <tp43_> lol
[05:41] <tato_42> i thought Lucid wasn't coming out until april
[05:42] <Ritlee> lol second person tonight is getting even more of a response
[05:42] <Jon-4> genii: The drive mounts fine, and the files that ARE there are fine, the issue is there are blocks of files with very odd files names that are completly unusable, I am assuming this is fragmented data from a bad removal.
[05:42] <coz_> its not
[05:42] <johnnyCbad> It can be done, install wine-tricks
[05:42] <genii> !loopmount
[05:42] <genii> Hm
[05:42] <genii> !iso
[05:42] <coz_> tato_42,  I mean you are correct
[05:42] <Hellhound666> I don't even use IE on my win7 partition.
[05:42] <tp43_> yeah, thats the second dude, unless he just changed nick
[05:42] <johnnyCbad> It isn't out, I'm using the dev release
[05:42] <Flannel> !ies4linux | srini
[05:42] <DcMeese> !wtfroflcopters
[05:43] <genii> Jon-4: Use the iso loopmount instructions but specify: -t vfat      for filetype
[05:43] <DcMeese> !google IE sucks
[05:43] <carlll> i want "object dock" but idk if it comes FOR linux.
[05:43] <Flannel> DcMeese: Please help keep this channel ontopic, thanks.
[05:43] <johnnyCbad> Lucid is going to be the best release yet, even if a lot is the default app choices for me
[05:43] <FireCrotch> DcMeese: If you'd like to play with the bot, please do so in a private message
[05:43] <srini> ok Thankyou
[05:43] <coz_> carlll, well there are docks available for linux  one is almost identical to the macosx dock  named cairo-dock
[05:44] <{CR}ronos> http://pastebin.com/yWYQPYND
[05:44] <johnnyCbad> Wish they'd get rid of openoffice though when google docs is o good
[05:44] <carlll> coz_,where can i get this "cairo-dock"??
[05:44] <johnnyCbad> I like AWN
[05:44] <coz_> carlll,   meet me in #cairo-dock channel
[05:44] <carlll> ok
[05:44] <Jon-4> genii: These are the same garbaged files as before. The others [that were still okay] have already been backed up.
[05:44] <Hellhound666> contstat problems with this java crap!!!
[05:44] <tp43_> I think cairo-docks is more functional
[05:44] <Jon-4> genii: Is there anything else I can do to try and restore those files?
[05:45] <Ritlee> johnny then how would you put ona presentation withouht openoffice presenter? will google docs full screen a second monitor?
[05:45] <Hellhound666> I just installed jdk, now I'm trying to install netbeans and at the bottom it says "No compatible JDK found"
[05:45] <today> how about Laptop mode some body
[05:45] <johnnyCbad> Ritlee: Fair point, not sure on that
[05:46] <Ritlee> johnnyCbad, hehe ;) just playin devils advocate
[05:46] <johnnyCbad> Ritlee: Although ubuntu has two virtual desktops default, it's totally possible
[05:46] <claws_> no sound on youtube :( anyone ?
[05:46] <Flannel> johnnyCbad, Ritlee: #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place for that conversation, mind taking it there?  thanks
[05:46] <johnnyCbad> Flannel: Opps, sorry
[05:47] <Ritlee> sorry flannel
[05:47] <Hellhound666> carlll:  u can easily get cario-dock through synaptic
[05:47] <Jon-4> genii: Would it be time to try fsck.vfat? I don't mean to bother you but these files are important.
[05:48] <rpk> Hey, does anyone know of any well written guides to fixing internet connection problems (i'm on ubuntu server 10.04.a.3 btw)?
[05:48] <Hellhound666> carlll:  or through the command line but you have to add the repository first I think.
[05:48] <Flannel> rpk: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid support, thanks.
[05:48] <guest1> claws: Did you check your ALSA settings?
[05:49] <rpk> Flannel: I'm pretty sure its not a lucid specific issue?  still go there anyways/
[05:49] <rpk> ?
[05:49] <claws_> guest1: doesnt say me anything
[05:49] <guest1> claws: What do you mean?
[05:49] <Flannel> rpk: Yep, alphas mean things breaking randomly is normal, so it could very well be that.
[05:50] <rpk> Flannel: kk
[05:50] <guest1> I am excited for 10.04
[05:50] <claws_> the system has sound.. but when playing through youtube... sound doesnt work
[05:50] <today> how share data between Ubuntu and window xp ? ^^ can any one help me
[05:51] <guest1> today: Do you need to access the files in windows?
[05:51] <Ritlee> today are they seperate boxes?
[05:51] <today> Guest1 i want share data
[05:51] <today> i want share date about ubuntu and windows xp at Lan
[05:52] <guest1> today: You can create a NTFS or FAT partition and then both linux and windows can see it
[05:52] <SirVirtue> Hi guys, I was wondering if you could help me with a weird problem with apt
[05:52] <Jon-4> genii: Are you there?
[05:52] <Flannel> !samba | today, you want samba:
[05:52] <Ritlee> today share a folder with full perms off of windows , and connect to it under ubuntu
[05:52] <guest1> SirVirtue: Whats going on?
[05:52] <today> Guest1 i see we can use Sam ba
[05:52] <Ritlee> should find it under the file browser
[05:53] <Jon-4> I just had a USB drive in my computer, and I deleted a file, went to umount it, it said "would you like to empty trash?" I said yes, and then after 2-3 minutes of it still waiting to be safely removed, I pulled it myself. Now over half my files have garbaged names like 6√┤@Bƒσ.╘┴3  Any way to recover my data? [I have used ddrescue to create a backup, no errors were found. What is...
[05:53] <guest1> Today: I have never used it, but it looks as if it will work fine
[05:53] <Jon-4> ...the next step?]
[05:53] <SirVirtue> getting a segmentation fault or something
[05:53] <SirVirtue> should I post the error message?
[05:53] <SirVirtue> it's not too long
[05:53] <today> you never share in LAN Guest1
[05:53] <Ritlee> lol sir probably not you'll be silenced
[05:53] <SirVirtue> *nod*
[05:54] <SirVirtue> I haven't been on irc for a while
[05:54] <Ritlee> hehe
[05:54] <SirVirtue> forgotten the etiquette
[05:54] <guest1> today: No, I rarely use Windows.
[05:54] <Ritlee> heh been damn near 12 years for me
[05:54] <SirVirtue> so pastebin then?
[05:54] <Ritlee> yeah
[05:55] <today> how do we share data from windows xp to ubuntu 9.10 Guest1
[05:56] <guest1> Today: I just mount my windows partition, then copy and paste any files I need to move.
[05:56] <soreau> {CR}ronos: You need to uninstall the nvidia glx driver module
[05:56] <today> means, i want to share data for other PC on LAN ( local Aera network) guest1
[05:56] <Ritlee> today, try $mount -t NTFS <ip address of windowsbox>:<share name> /<mount point>
[05:57] <Ritlee> today i think i got the syntax right
[05:57] <SirVirtue> http://pastebin.com/hg94PMDA
[05:57] <guest1> Today: I have no clue, but I think Ritlee knows
[05:57] <SirVirtue> Ritlee: ^^
[05:57] <today> i dont understand what you say Ritlee
[05:57] <Ritlee> but also if you use the file browser in ubuntu it will most likely find the share on it's own if you look under network
[05:58] <Jon-4> I just had a USB drive in my computer, and I deleted a file, went to umount it, it said "would you like to empty trash?" I said yes, and then after 2-3 minutes of it still waiting to be safely removed, I pulled it myself. Now over half my files have garbaged names like 6√┤@Bƒσ.╘┴3  Any way to recover my data? [I have used ddrescue to create a backup, no errors were found. What is...
[05:58] <Jon-4> ...the next step?]
[05:58] <today> i see, we can insall samba for share some thing at LAT
[05:58] <Logikos> got a new computer that is 64bit that came with windows7 on it, my partition programs wont work with 64bit for some reason .. if i boot to the ubuntu run cd, can i partition it useing gparted?
[05:58] <{CR}ronos> thanx but how do i go about doing that
[05:58] <Ritlee> today, an example $mount -t NTFS 192.168.0.100:sharefolder /mnt
[05:58] <today> at LAn, but i don know how to config samba Ritlee
[05:58] <Logikos> i want to resize the primary partition
[05:59] <Logikos> and make another partition
[05:59] <Ritlee> ummm shouldn't need any config should work once installed
[05:59] <thales> Where is the Ubuntu 10 beta available for download?
[05:59] <guest1> Logikos: You can do it that way, or you can use the tool in windows
[05:59] <today> wow, it's straight
[05:59] <Logikos> the tool in windows doesnt allow me to shrink the partition enough
[05:59] <soreau> {CR}ronos: Look for packages with ii next to them in the output of  dpkg -l|grep -i nvidia
[05:59] <Ritlee> straight?
[05:59] <today> thales:  at Ubuntu.com
[05:59] <guest1> Logikos: Do you have the windows CD?
[06:00] <thales> I'm stumped looking for them at ubuntu.com
[06:00] <Logikos> on a 1TB drive with only like 15GB used .. it only allows me to cut the drive in half or so
[06:00] <Logikos> i want a 100GB drive for primary
[06:00] <Logikos> and the rest secondary
[06:00] <today> Ritlee: do you know how to config samba
[06:00] <kayve> I have Matlab and it requires this libdap thing and I'm lost
[06:00] <Ritlee> today, samba shouldn't need any configuring
[06:00] <{CR}ronos> thanks
[06:01] <Logikos> i dont have the windows cd no
[06:01] <kayve> it slurps data. I got rpms used alien
[06:01] <Ritlee> today, or do you mean to download?
[06:01] <Logikos> pc came with it pre-loaded
[06:01] <Logikos> but i have a win7 iso downloaded
[06:01] <Jon-4> I just had a USB drive in my computer, and I deleted a file, went to umount it, it said "would you like to empty trash?" I said yes, and then after 2-3 minutes of it still waiting to be safely removed, I pulled it myself. Now over half my files have garbaged names like 6√┤@Bƒσ.╘┴3  Any way to recover my data? [I have used ddrescue to create a backup, no errors were found. What is...
[06:01] <today> what download ri
[06:01] <Jon-4> ...the next step?]
[06:01] <Logikos> via torrent
[06:01] <SirVirtue> thales: I don't think the beta is acutally out yet
[06:01] <Logikos> that i can load into a virtial drive
[06:01] <guest1> Logikos: I never had luck using Gparted to shrink my drive.  Maybe someone else can help a little more
[06:01] <SirVirtue> thales: there is an alpha though
[06:01] <SirVirtue> thales: gimmie a sec
[06:01] <genii> Jon-4: Apologies, helping my roomate get his webcam going under Kubuntu. The idea of using ddrescue is to make a frozen image of the disk, errors and all, into a file which you can mount into a directory, then pluck the important things which remain from there to somewhere you want to save them. So to loop-mount you use the same idea as loopmounting an iso file
[06:01] <SirVirtue> thales: I'll find a url
[06:02] <thales> Alpha works for me,
[06:02] <guest1> Out of curiosity, anyone here using their iphone in linux?
[06:02] <Jon-4> genii: This is done. Is there a way to recover the fragmented files now?
[06:02] <genii> Jon-4: eg: sudo mount -t vfat /ddrescueimagefile /some/directory
[06:02] <Ritlee> today, if you dont
[06:02] <Ritlee> today if you don't have samba installed yet ummm let me figure that one out...
[06:02] <Logikos> so useing Gparted isnt a good solution
[06:02] <{CR}ronos> soreau will i uninstall these?
[06:03] <today> i installed samban Ritlee
[06:03] <Netwizz> I installed Ubuntu tonight
[06:03] <ZykoticK9> thales, get the Alpha daily from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[06:03] <genii> Jon-4: You can theoretically run fsck.vfat on the mounted directory
[06:03] <Netwizz> It was pretty easy to install; I mus tsay
[06:03] <Netwizz> When does the new RTM get released?
[06:03] <genii> Jon-4: If it works you can then use it on the original
[06:03] <thales> awesome, thank you very much. :-)
[06:03] <today> but i cant share my data for my friend ( use XP)
[06:03] <guest1> Netwizz: Now try to install Gentoo :)
[06:03] <Ritlee> today, okay then it should be ready to go, no config needed
[06:03] <Jon-4> genii: What options should I be looking for?
[06:03] <Netwizz> I bet that is a lot more work
[06:03] <SirVirtue> ZykoticK9: cheers
[06:03] <guest1> You have no idea
[06:03] <today> i dont thing so Ritlee
[06:04] <Netwizz> I have not even figured out getting everything working on Ubuntu again.  It has been almost 2 years since I last ran it, so it will take some time to get it working perfect, but I think it should be easier this time.
[06:04] <today> because, i try to share folder, but not done
[06:04] <Jon-4> genii: Oh, and the data is far more important frankly. I can always reformat the drive.
[06:04] <Ritlee> today, i could be wrong but i don't remember doing a config for it, it worked as is
[06:04] <soreau> {CR}ronos: You need to remove the nvidia glx driver packages. It should be ok to leave the alias packages installed
[06:04] <genii> Jon-4: Generally if you use "-f" on fsck it tries to auto-fix erors
[06:04] <today> it so ok Ritlee :)
[06:04] <guest1> Netwizz: It is.  I am in the same boat.  I went back to Linux after a 4 year absence but I only use Windows to print and for iTunes
[06:04] <SirVirtue> Ritlee: did you get a chance to suss out my error?
[06:05] <today> what version linux you use Ritlee?
[06:05] <genii> Jon-4: When it finds unlinked files, etc it will usually put them in a dir called lost+found
[06:05] <Ritlee> SirVirtue, piss what was it again?
[06:05] <Ritlee> today, ubuntu 8.04
[06:05] <Jon-4> genii: Says "is a directory" when I attempt to run it on /media/temp [where I mounted the image file with loop-back]
[06:05] <smartfisher> hello
[06:05] <Tecan> is the server down for karmic debs ?
[06:05] <SirVirtue> Ritlee: http://pastebin.com/hg94PMDA
[06:05] <soreau> {CR}ronos: After this, you need to remove or rename your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[06:06] <genii> Jon-4: OK, hangon
[06:06] <SirVirtue> Ritlee: do you want a pm so it's easier to keep track?
[06:06] <SirVirtue> Ritlee: (you seem to be getting hounded :P)
[06:06] <today> how about 's Login Screen on Karmic Ritlee?
[06:06] <Ritlee> SirVirtue, i
[06:07] <Ritlee> SirVirtue, i'm good so your trying to install rhythm box?
[06:07] <today> how is login screen change? Ritlee
[06:07] <SirVirtue> Ritlee: well not really, it just pops up every time I try to do something with apt
[06:07] <SirVirtue> also totem
[06:07] <Ritlee> today, dunno i've only spent any surmountable time with 8.04
[06:07] <Ritlee> SirVirtue, OH
[06:08] <today> ;-)you wait 10.4 release Ritlee
[06:08] <Ritlee> SirVirtue, that's beyond me then sounds like apt is bugged
[06:08] <Netwizz> Yeah it is going to be tough to relearn linux
[06:08] <SirVirtue> :(
[06:08] <Ritlee> today, lol hopefully better lookin than 9.'04
[06:09] <genii> Jon-4: the fsck.vfat manpage doesn't have some force or override option for loopmount, unfortunately.It wants to work only on partitions, etc. So try to recover from the mounted image what you can, then run the fsck.vfat with -y option on the affected drive and check the lost+found directory there after for recovered files
[06:09] <Ritlee> ahwell i
[06:09] <Ritlee> ahwell i'm out, thanx all
[06:09] <shazbotmcnasty> what do I do if I think someone is going to try and hack me?
[06:09] <SirVirtue> Ritlee: oh well, thanks for you time
[06:09] <shazbotmcnasty> like.....
[06:09] <shazbotmcnasty> now
[06:09] <today> Bye Ritlee
[06:09] <guest1> Netwizz: Its not that bad with Ubuntu.  I have had a hard time with some things, but this chat and all the forums are amazing!
[06:09] <SirVirtue> *your
[06:09] <hackoo1> hello
[06:10] <Jon-4> genii: Unfortunately because I had created the backup, I have done a few things to my original USB drive. Is there a way to restore it or emulate a mount as a physical device for fsck.vfat?
[06:10] <Netwizz> Yeah
[06:10] <Netwizz> I used to run Ubuntu exclusively in 2006, 7, and part of 8
[06:10] <genii> Jon-4: No method that I know of
[06:10] <Netwizz> I ran Dapper Drake through 8.04
[06:10] <Netwizz> Or actually 7.10
[06:11] <guest1> Netwizz: Why did you leave?
[06:11] <genii> Jon-4: You can use the ddrescue image however to write it exactly back to a usb stick using dd
[06:11] <SirVirtue> anyone else here an ap
[06:11] <SirVirtue> anyone else here an apt-get wizz?
[06:11] <Netwizz> The Video driver broke for Nvidia GLX
[06:11] <mrpink57> guest1: same reason we all do further customization
[06:12] <genii> Jon-4: eg: sudo dd if=/the/ddrescue-imagename of=/dev/sdX#
[06:12] <Netwizz> Each time I rebooted, I had to re-install the video driver, and it stunk?
[06:12] <genii> Jon-4: Then run fsck.vfat on that
[06:12] <shazbotmcnasty> what do I do if I think someone is going to try and hack me?????
[06:12] <genii> shazbotmcnasty: Unplug the ethernet cable
[06:12] <guest1> Netwizz: Tell me about it.  I HATE proprietary drivers.  I have ATI and I swear I will never support them again
[06:13] <guest1> Netwizz: How is the driver issue now?
[06:13] <alankila> Netwizz: sounds more like ubuntu bug than nvidia bug, though. The driver worked but it screwed up something.
[06:13] <today> my Ubuntu run Gnome 2.28, how do we upgrade Gnome man
[06:13] <Netwizz> I have no driver issue
[06:13] <Netwizz> I did a clean install of 9.04 64 bit
[06:13] <Netwizz> I was running 7.10 32 bit
[06:14] <Netwizz> No problems yet anyway
[06:14] <bowserinmario3> im having troubling enabling my wifi usb adapter (050d:935b) any help?
[06:14] <guest1> Do you use the open source driver?
[06:14] <Netwizz> The problem is that it will probably take forever to get everythign up and runnign again
[06:14] <Jon-4>  genii of=sdx#  realy? never seen sdx before only sdc and sda
[06:14] <Netwizz> @bowserinmario3 you need the ndiswrapper unless that changed in the last couple years
[06:14] <alankila> Jon-4: x means "fill in what suits for you"
[06:15] <bowserinmario3> on the ndiswrapper website they don't mention support for my usb
[06:15] <genii> Jon-4: "sdX#" means substitute for "X" the letter of your real drive and for "#" put the partition number: eg: sda3   or so
[06:15] <Netwizz> You really just have to try it
[06:15] <Netwizz> I was able to make it work with my old Netgear WG111 or something like that
[06:16] <bowserinmario3> yea ill give it a shot
[06:16] <bowserinmario3> thanks
[06:16] <genii> Jon-4: But use some USB stick name and not sda3 as i just wrote
[06:16] <Netwizz> There must be some switches
[06:16] <Netwizz> I think you did something like ndiswrapper -i /path/to/driver.inf
[06:16] <Netwizz> regardless man ndiswrapper
[06:17] <Netwizz> or ndiswrapper -?
[06:17] <genii> Jon-4: I must leave for sleep soon, it's 1:17AM here
[06:17] <Jon-4> genii: OH NO I USED SDA3  *computer dies*   haha, don't worry :D
[06:17] <Jon-4> genii: What would you recommend after fsck.vfat? -y on drive? Any options left?
[06:18] <Jon-4> ignore ?, typo
[06:18] <SirVirtue> one last try, anyone here an apt-get wizz?
[06:19] <genii> Jon-4: Check in the directory on the drive called lost+found. If any unattached files were found it will file them in there. No names though just sequential numbered files so tedious to wade through
[06:19] <Netwizz> I have never seen anything in there
[06:19] <Netwizz> what does NTFS have for Lost and Found?
[06:19] <genii> Jon-4: (but at least hopefully somewhat intact)
[06:19] <Netwizz> Where do those files go?  chkdsk?
[06:19] <genii> Netwizz: this isn't a Windows support channel
[06:20] <devD> My karmic have a serious problem, my keyboard freezes sometimes and I need to restart system , this time its freezed and not unfreezing even after reboot. what to do now ?
[06:20] <theadmin> devD: And how on earth do you type? :/ This sounds like a problem of IBus if you're using it

[06:21] <evan0116> so Karmic never wakes up when idle and i move the mouse

[06:21] <today> when i run VLC and turn on Playlis ( Ctrl + L) it not work
[06:21] <today> help me now
[06:21] <FireCrotch> SirVirtue: What is your apt-get question/problem?
[06:22] <theadmin> today: Check whether the layout is set correctly
[06:22] <today> how theadmin
[06:22] <{CR}ronos> anyone else get really slow transfer speeds to a usb device in 9.10?
[06:22] <SirVirtue> FireCrotch: http://pastebin.com/hg94PMDA does that make any sense to you?
[06:22] <theadmin> today: System  - Preferences - Keyboard - Layouts
[06:22] <theadmin> {CR}ronos: Yeah, if it's a NTFS device
[06:22] <today> i run Ubuntu on HP 540 Laptop , how choice layouts corrects theadmin
[06:23] <SirVirtue> it's a segmentation fault trying to install remove a couple of packages
[06:23] <Enissay> {CR}ronos, yeah , me!!
[06:23] <theadmin> today: Sorry, never saw those %) I'm on an ASUS. Might be a good idea to check your manufacturer's site
[06:23] <DcMeese> How do I view & kill processes in ubuntu?
[06:23] <{CR}ronos> i get slow transfer speeds on all formats
[06:23] <evan0116> Why does ubuntu 9.10 never wake up after monitor is set to black? and how can i fix this?
[06:24] <theadmin> DcMesse: killall processname to just kill. You can install "htop" to view all processes.
[06:24] <theadmin> evan0116: Seems like something with motherboard or it's drivers
[06:24] <DcMeese> theadmin: Thx....
[06:25] <tom_mahoon1> hey guys i'm trying to update my nice on my file server over the network. i've compiled a new driver, but it keeps loading the old one. any ideas on how to get rid of the old driver and replace it with the new one?
[06:25] <today> im comming theadmin
[06:25] <Enissay> DcMeese, or you can use System>Administration>System monitor
[06:25] <today> plzz support me
[06:25] <evan0116> the admin: i do have a relatively old system, an 05 dell. any suggestions?
[06:25] <theadmin> evan0116: Actually, if Dell produces Linux drivers, check for those
[06:25] <theadmin> today: Huh? o_O
[06:25] <FireCrotch> SirVirtue: Are those the only two packages that have the problem?
[06:26] <today> about my keyboard
[06:26] <SirVirtue> FireCrotch: yup
[06:26] <evan0116> theadmin: drivers for the motherboard, correct?
[06:26] <theadmin> today: Oh, check your manufacturer's site, maybe they have some forum or IRC channel or just some info on this
[06:26] <theadmin> evan0116: Yeah
[06:26] <today> how config layout keyboard , i use HP 540 Laptop

[06:31] <theadmin> Flannel: He's a spammer, look a few messages above... :/ he's asking for a NOD32 key :/
[06:31] <dehqan> how to fix this ? http://pastebin.com/zHjaQWzT ?  libgd2-noxpm and  libg2 also are removed
[06:31] <theadmin> Archy1987: Stop repeating quickly, it won't make anyone help you more or less
[06:31] <Netwizz> Where I work, I have to deploy a Server 2003 Domain controller tomorrow; I am not happy
[06:32] <alankila> Archy1987: a global equalizer, like for sound? I'd imagine that falls in pulseaudio's turf, but I have never seen any kind of DSP systems for it, oddly enough.
[06:32] <Archy1987> theadmin, what is minimum time to repeat?
[06:32] <Cedna> try apt-get install -f
[06:32] <theadmin> Archy1987: It's not stated, but not like every minute %) Maybe in ten minutes or so...
[06:32] <Flannel> Archy1987: 20 or so minutes is a good starting point.  Take the time in between to checkthe internet/forums/etc
[06:32] <Archy1987> theadmin, ok, thanks for info. Sorry for my incompetence
[06:32] <DcMeese> Otherwise peoples Getz mad
[06:32] <Cedna> does packages looks like depended some packages...
[06:33] <Flannel> Archy1987: Everyone's new at some point, no big deal.
[06:33] <claws_> GUYS!!  the system has sound.. but when playing through youtube... sound doesn't work.. any help will be much appreciated...
[06:33] <Archy1987> alankila, yes, global equalizer - not equalizer foru separate program
[06:33] <theadmin> claws_: Sounds like some flash player bug to me
[06:33] <alankila> pulseaudio is strangely half-baked. It doesn't seem to have any DSP programs, and no GUIs to tune them. :-/
[06:34] <Cedna> ...or also you can try does package manually..
[06:34] <alankila> At least nothing I saw with "apt-cache search pulseaudio" discovered anything that looked like DSP To me
[06:34] <]|[RoMeO]|[> ][][][-when is my turn?-][][][
[06:34] <Archy1987> ok, i will try pulseaudio
[06:34] <claws_> theadmin: can i do a apt-get install flashplayer ?
[06:35] <alankila> Archy1987: you're already using it. I'm just saying nobody has had your concern at heart so far

[06:35] <Bash23> Hey guysc
[06:35] <Bash23> Does anyone know how I can fix GDM?
[06:35] <evan0116> dell is no help when comes to linux drivers
[06:35] <evan0116> night guys
[06:35] <Bash23> It says "cannout find custom.conf"
[06:36] <Moat> hi my icons and coloured backrounds are now showing up properly as according to my theme i have set
[06:36] <Moat> what do i do?
[06:36] <theadmin> Moat: What's the problem with that?
[06:36] <ubuntufreak> How can i remove the Google Chrome which i installed using the .deb file in my ubuntu 9.10 ?
[06:36] <Bash23> Anyone?
[06:36] <Moat> with my icons and windows theadmin
[06:36] <Cedna> please let us show Xorg logs..
[06:37] <claws_> ah gr8! now my firefox wont start cuz it have hangd up
[06:37] <theadmin> ubuntufreak: Just like any normal package, but i don't know it's name, search Synaptic
[06:37] <claws_> so what do i do ?
[06:37] <Moat> theadmin they are not showing up accorind to my theme
[06:37] <Bash23> It's loading the background but the login window isn't showing up
[06:37] <theadmin> Moat: Maybe the corresponding GTK engine is not installed
[06:37] <Moat> whaaa
[06:37] <Moat> they worked before
[06:37] <Moat> now they don't
[06:37] <Moat> all i did was install a graphics triver
[06:37] <dehqan> any opinion ?
[06:37] <ubuntufreak> theadmin: thanks would check that
[06:38] <theadmin> ubuntufreak: Check what? o_O
[06:38] <theadmin> Moat: Hm, strange
[06:38] <Moat> yah
[06:38] <Moat> i'll send u a pic of the problem
[06:38] <alankila> Archy1987: I found a hack based on ladspa and telling pulseaudio to route its sound output through user's .asoundrc
[06:38] <Archy1987> alankila, how to access pulseaudio output settings?
[06:38] <dyess002> soreau:  are u still in here
[06:38] <ubuntufreak> theadmin: i mean the synaptic to remove the chrom package
[06:38] <soreau> dyess002: Sure, why?
[06:38] <theadmin> ubuntufreak: Ah, okay
[06:38] <alankila> Archy1987: maybe there's a better part than this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 (see Appendix D), maybe not
[06:39] <alankila> a better way, not part.
[06:39] <dyess002> i finally got it fixed the matchbox deal
[06:39] <claws_> GUYS! how can i list running programs and kill them ? ex. firefox freez, so im not allowed to open
[06:39] <dyess002> thanks for the help
[06:39] <von_neumann> ubuntufreak: Run this, dpkg -l | grep -i google-chrome
[06:39] <Archy1987> alankila, ok, i will check it. Thanks
[06:39] <Cedna> ..
[06:39] <theadmin> claws_: try "killall firefox"
[06:39] <soreau> dyess002: What did you have to do?
[06:39] <von_neumann> ubuntufreak, then dpkg -r the exact name of the package
[06:39] <ubuntufreak> theadmin: its coz i had installed chrome and today i installed Chromium so thought of removing Chrome
[06:39] <Bash23> I need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[06:40] <Cedna> claws_, open terminal, and type ps -ef | grep process name..
[06:40] <Bash23> Does anyone know how I can fix GDM?
[06:40] <Bash23> It says "cannout find custom.conf"
[06:40] <Bash23> It says "cannout find custom.conf"

[06:40] <von_neumann> sudo dpkg -r google-chrome-beta
[06:40] <von_neumann> for me anyway
[06:40] <von_neumann> doh, sorry
[06:40] <alankila> Archy1987: now that I am reading through the link, there's a suggestion for karmic, a PPA with package called pulseaudio-equalizer
[06:41] <Cedna> than, it seems like PID(number) ... process pipe name
[06:41] <genii> Bash23: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm
[06:41] <soreau> dyess002: Cool. Glad you got it working
[06:41] <dyess002> me to  it was looking like a reinstall
[06:41] <Bash23> I tried sudo aptitude reinstall gdm
[06:42] <Bash23> it didn't work.
[06:42] <alankila> Archy1987: it looks pretty nify from description. Hopefully it does the trick for you.
[06:42] <Cedna> if you followed this steps, now you can kill pid numbers. more informations, try man kill
[06:42] <claws_> theadmin: thank you :) it worked
[06:42] <theadmin> Cedna: Wouldn't it be a lot simplier to stick to killall when you don't know the exact PID?
[06:42] <Cedna> ...
[06:42] <Cedna> hmm..
[06:42] <Shay27> Hello , does someone here specialize in hardware ? I'm going today to buy a new computer, but there is little problem, I'm not hardware wizard :) I have the ability to choose between two types of motherboards : Intel Skyberg DP45SG and Asus p5q pro , can someone recommend me which one is the best ? and which motherboard will support Ubuntu without problems
[06:43] <claws_> but is there possible to list all running apps
[06:43] <tehbaut> anyone know if 9.10 live cd supports gparted and formatting partitions as hfs+ out of the box?
[06:43] <Cedna> yes. killall commands pretty simple.
[06:43] <Netwizz> yes
[06:43] <Netwizz> You can use the top command
[06:43] <Netwizz> or ps
[06:43] <Cedna> but i think that was too simple for me..
[06:43] <coz_> or install htop
[06:43] <coz_> much nicer ^^
[06:43] <Netwizz> htop?
[06:43] <Bash23> Does anyone have any other tips?
[06:43] <claws_> so i do a..  ps list ?
[06:44] <Netwizz> The command is ps
[06:44] <coz_> netmind,  yeah sudo apt-get install htop  and the command is   htop
[06:44] <Netwizz> Great, but what is it
[06:44] <genii> Bash23: What were you using to try and customize your GDM?
[06:44] <Netwizz> I will just look it up hell
[06:44] <theadmin> Netwizz: A process manager
[06:44] <Bash23> Nothin.g
[06:44] <Cedna> otherwise, you can also try like that - ps -ef | grep name | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kill -9 :)
[06:44] <Bash23> There is no custon.conf.
[06:44] <coz_> systemn monitor of sorts I guess you can call it
[06:44] <Netwizz> It does not look very good
[06:44] <Bash23> That's the prob
[06:44] <Netwizz> Isn't the built in one better?
[06:44] <Bash23> custom*
[06:45] <coz_> Netwizz,  system monitor of sorts  with many options
[06:45] <genii> Hm
[06:45] <theadmin> I dunno.... I assigned "xterm htop" to Ctrl+Shift+Esc lol and it works fine, system monitor is a bit too greedy
[06:46] <Cedna> yes. system monitor too greedy
[06:48] <theadmin> Hrm.
[06:48] <coz_> Netwizz,  did you check out htop?
[06:48] <theadmin> Why when i want to check updates manually i need a password while when it's automatic, it's asking nothing?
[06:49] <coz_> theadmin,  it should unless you recently used the terminal with a password and it didnt time out
[06:49] <Netwizz> yeah
[06:49] <Netwizz> I checked it out
[06:49] <theadmin> coz_: I see, yeah, that was true
[06:49] <Netwizz> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sioabbA4Mw&feature=channel
[06:49] <Netwizz> That video rocks
[06:49] <Netwizz> In traffic court, you have to pay the plantiff to show up!!!
[06:49] <Cedna> ...
[06:50] <momosan> what's the ubuntu equivalent of the unstable/testing branch in debian that I can put in my sources.list?
[06:50] <Cedna> because... that was configured in polkit settings, i think.
[06:50] <blakkheim> momosan: there is none
[06:50] <Cedna> ..
[06:50] <coz_> momosan,  well  actually none  unless you want to try the alpha
[06:50] <claws_> how can i get more info on the PID's?
[06:51] <momosan> kk
[06:51] <Netwizz> with switches
[06:51] <coz_> momosan, but then it would be an install of that alpha
[06:51] <rww> ubottu: ot | Netwizz
[06:51] <coz_> momosan,  which means what you have would either be upgraded or you would have to clean install the alpha  ubuntu lucid 10.4
[06:51] <theadmin> momosan: We have free-supported: main, non-free-supported: restricted, free-unsupported: universe, non-free-unsupported: multiverse. And we have backports.
[06:51] <coz_> momosan,  I think it is still in alpha let me check
[06:52] <coz_> momosan,    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule
[06:52] <momosan> okay thanks all
[06:53] <Archy1987> alankila, i did Appendix D: System-Wide Equalizer
[06:53] <Archy1987> alankila, how to open equalizer graph now?
[06:53] <alankila> Archy1987: what did you do? Are you using karmic? Did you notice the ppa?
[06:54] <phani>  hi. I have hardy 8.04 version newly installed . When I do apt-get update or upgrade gets segmentation fault error ... So, I have deleted the bin files from /var/cache/apt but still it doesn't work any ideas ?
[06:54] <Archy1987> alankila, i use ubuntu (latest)
[06:54] <alankila> Archy1987: well, did you use the solution suggested at "Warning 1: karmic users please do this instead". My fault for not noticing it, but it was the first line and I merely scanned the document based on quick google query to see that someone had indeed done something like this
[06:55] <Hellhound666> wow vuze works just fine when I download it from the repositories.  seems java runtime isn't the only dependency requried for it to operate correctly.
[06:55] <alankila> Archy1987: the ppa contains a full GUI for a global equalizer, allegedly.
[06:55] <coz_> Hellhound666,  isnt that using alot of cpu for you?
[06:55] <Archy1987> alankila, what is "ppa" ?
[06:55] <Hellhound666> coz_: isn't what?
[06:56] <alankila> Archy1987: personal package archive.
[06:56] <coz_> Hellhound666,  vuze
[06:56] <Hellhound666> coz_:  not really
[06:56] <Archy1987> alankila, i am not shure that i understand what to do now
[06:56] <coz_> Hellhound666,  even when it was called azureus it use mucho cpu on my systems
[06:56] <alankila> Archy1987: I tried to tell you to use the karmic-specific solution some 15 minutes ago, but it was too late.
[06:57] <alankila> Archy1987: revert your changes, follow the karmic-specific instructions. You'll be a lot happier with that -- assuming it works at all...
[06:57] <Hellhound666> coz_:  It works fine on my old 800mhz 300mb ram crap computer.
[06:58] <coz_> Hellhound666,  wow mmm   I might try it again although I am using transmission for torrents
[06:58] <theadmin> Why are some "cups" always upgrading?
[06:58] <Archy1987> alankila, i just realized, that my laptop don't have sound at all now :D
[06:58] <coz_> Archy1987,  in terminal   alsamixer
[06:58] <Thunderguy> If I wanted to 'apt-move sync' all my packages to put on a cd, would it be that simple as it was on deb?
[06:58] <coz_> Archy1987,  anything turned down or muted?
[06:58] <blakkheim> theadmin: security patches
[06:59] <coz_> Archy1987,  pulseaudio sucks on karmic right now
[06:59] <theadmin> blakkheim: What IS "cups" anyway
[06:59] <Hellhound666> check out netbeans if you're into programming too.  It's excellent I think.
[06:59] <blakkheim> theadmin: common unix printing services
[06:59] <theadmin> Hellhound666: I agree on that
[06:59] <theadmin> blakkheim: ...I don't need that... lol
[06:59] <Cedna> apt-cache show cups
[06:59] <Archy1987> coz_, nope, nothing is muted
[06:59] <blakkheim> theadmin: then why do you have it?
[06:59] <alankila> Archy1987: yes, you are best off canceling all the modifications & using the karmic-specific solution. Or debugging what went wrong with your changes.
[06:59] <coz_> Archy1987,  mmm
[06:59] <blakkheim> theadmin: i use a minimal iso install and only install what i want. the default install is very bloated
[06:59] <theadmin> blakkheim: Maybe it came defaultly. I don't need empathy either, but i knew i don't need it at least
[06:59] <Hellhound666> I was using Dev C++ on windows 7.  Turns out the only way to get Bloodshed Dev C++ on Linux is ordering the cd.  Well I'm know there are other ways but it's the least I could do is buy it.
[07:00] <coz_> blakkheim,  mm I might try that next time  sounds like a good idea
[07:00] <alankila> I'm pretty optimistic that even that .asoundrc-based hack can be made to work if you try hard enough, despite it using plughw and not raw hardware access ...
[07:00] <Archy1987> coz_,  alankila  i will now revert changes and infor you what happens then
[07:00] <theadmin> blakkheim: Meh, default is a good enough for me
[07:00] <blakkheim> theadmin: ok, if you can deal with all the bloat and unneeded services and updates that you don't even know what they are
[07:01] <alankila> Archy1987: here's a sneak peek at what you should get with the package:
[07:01] <alankila> http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/system-wide-pulseaudio-equalizer-for.htmlhttp://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/system-wide-pulseaudio-equalizer-for.html
[07:01] <theadmin> blakkheim: If UBUNTU is bloated... lol, better don't even touch Linux Mint
[07:02] <alankila> er... was that link really truncated?
[07:02] <Flannel> alankila: No
[07:02] <alankila> good
[07:02] <oneinch> what is the kde metapackage to install it via apt-get?
[07:02] <theadmin> oneinch: kubuntu-desktop

[07:05] <AfterBlend4D> hello
[07:05] <mihir> i can´t find wireless network in range even if hardware is properly detected
[07:05] <Archy1987> i reverted changes, and relogged - at last i have my sound back. I now will try to install that equalizer, that alankila gave me :P
[07:05] <Hellhound666> theadmin:  I haven't been programming for long but I'm catching on rather quickly.  I'm going to school for Network Admin but I wonder If I could take a coding course too?
[07:06] <AfterBlend4D> how to check the people in the channel join howmany channel.
[07:06] <mihir> hello friends
[07:06] <deanfx> mihir: what type of wireless controller do you have?
[07:06] <AfterBlend4D> Whols ?
[07:06] <alankila> Archy1987: yeah. I really wasn't aware that there had been any progress on this front. I've been expecting DSP software to arrive for pulseaudio, like headphone virtualization and stuff like that, and nobody seems to have been working on it
[07:06] <theadmin> Hellhound666: Don't give any such things :D Sorry... I gotta learn PHP someday :/ static webpages are a bleh
[07:06] <tallyho> i can't seem to CD into C:\ in winconsole cmd
[07:07] <mihir> broadcom
[07:07] <Hellhound666> theadmin:  that sucks huh.  I went to school years back for programming and all they had was microsoft Visual Basic!!
[07:07] <Archy1987> alankila, i followed that website's instructions, but terminal says me -

[07:07] <theadmin> tallyho: In Windows, you'll have to try something like "cd /d C:\", but we don't really provide Windows support
[07:07] <Moat> ccenda how do i do that?
[07:07] <alankila> Archy1987: well, did you install some .deb first?
[07:07] <tallyho> im using ubuntu theadmin

[07:13] <adarsha> mihir: then, ubuntu should automatically detect wireless networks. check ur panel, there should be a network icon.
[07:13] <alankila> Archy1987: great!
[07:13] <psycho_oreos> !networkmanager | mihir
[07:14] <ghostnik11> hi i have a problem in ubuntu 9.10 with the file system, for some reason when it tries to load it says /dev/desk/ by-uuid/ ... is missing and does not exist. which is impossible b/c last night my ubuntu was working pefectly fine till i turned it off
[07:14] <ghostnik11> does anyone know how to fix this problem
[07:14] <adarsha> mihir: if u don't find it, open a terminal and type networkmanager. i think it should open networkmanager.
[07:15] <Archy1987> if linux could run same apps as windows can, i would never use windows OS
[07:16] <Archy1987> someone thinks like me ?
[07:16] <mihir> i am using ubuntu 9.10
[07:16] <psycho_oreos> Archy1987, there's a fair amount of differences between the two, for most parts wine should work, but then there's crossover/cedega as well as vm
[07:17] <psycho_oreos> mihir, did you read the link on network manager?
[07:17] <_KAMI_1> hi
[07:17] <_KAMI_1> I need some help
[07:17] <_KAMI_1> regarding U10.04
[07:17] <_KAMI_1> and radon driver
[07:17] <theadmin> _KAMI_1: Just ask your question...
[07:17] <Flannel> _KAMI_1: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid support, thanks
[07:17] <psycho_oreos> !lucid | _KAMI_1
[07:17] <genii> Archy1987: If you're just looking for something to replace windows and run windows applications underneath you don't really need linux, maybe check out ReactOS instead
[07:18] <theadmin> Archy1987: Can't it do so already?
[07:18] <theadmin> Archy1987: I mean, we DO have WINE
[07:18] <Archy1987> i have wine too
[07:18] <_KAMI_1> okay sorry
[07:18] <Archy1987> but i was impossible to run any of win-based apps
[07:18] <_KAMI_1> Then I go to there
[07:19] <theadmin> Archy1987: Hm, it indeed is not very good, but... well, i keep a dualboot
[07:19] <psycho_oreos> its not impossible, it just requires work to get it working
[07:19] <mihir> yes i have read but it says it is for older version i am using ubuntu 9.10 karmic kaola
[07:19] <adarsha> theadmin: but wine doesn't work for many windows applications.
[07:19] <ghostnik11> has anyone ever had a problem with 9.10 and the file system not being found
[07:19] <Archy1987> theadmin, me too :P i have dual ubuntu - xp boot
[07:20] <Archy1987> theadmin, because i am a civil engineer, and i need AutoCad - program, that cannot be run on linux
[07:20] <theadmin> Archy1987: Ahaha, EXACTLY same here. Ubuntu 9.10, Windows XP SP3 RU
[07:20] <whorush> hi, i'm making figures for my thesis in geometry.  my figures are polygons.  so i'm using inkscape, and it ALMOST works perfect, but some things are really tricky, and they ignore me on the irc :-).  maybe i should use the gimp?  but the gimp is complicated!  anything else?  thanks!
[07:20] <Archy1987> theadmin, hahaha, exactly same! ubuntu 9.10 + xp sp3 ru
[07:20] <psycho_oreos> mihir, its almost the same, there should be network manager icon on your desktop, more specifically a task bar
[07:20] <Flannel> whorush: Join #ubuntu-offtopic and explain what's tricky
[07:20] <Peddy> who else isn't liking the 10.04 concept art?
[07:20] <Flannel> Peddy: #ubuntu+1 for Lucid, thanks
[07:20] <claws_> dont i need a sort of ccleaner when i remove a software ?
[07:20] <eeexception> Hi. Has anyone tested ubuntu 10.04 alpha? Is there still a problem with usb flash drivers? At this morning I was trying to connect to my laptop with ubuntu 10.04 Sony Reader prs-300, but was nothing. lsusb also was empty
[07:20] <Peddy> kthx Flannel
[07:21] <theadmin> eeexception: #ubuntu+1

[07:21] <Peddy> 1/join #ubuntu+1
[07:21] <kinja-sheep> claws_: Registry cleaners in Windows does not really make things go faster. :)
[07:21] <mihir> yes it is there and right now i am using internet through lan
[07:21] <whorush> Flannel, thanks
[07:21] <mihir> but there is no wireless network in range there
[07:21] <psycho_oreos> mihir, so right click on it and click on enable wireless
[07:22] <claws_> kinja-sheep: i was more or less thinking of config files that i have to remove manualy
[07:22] <theadmin> claws_: We don't have a registry or that kinda crap on Ubuntu, when you remove, it's removed, and so there.
[07:22] <mihir> it is enabled
[07:23] <theadmin> Bleh. Why when i try to set the homepage in Firefox to 127.0.0.1, it freezes? Only on Ubuntu, works fine on other Linux's and Windows
[07:23] <psycho_oreos> mihir, and so when you left click on the network manager icon, you don't see any networks with bars?
[07:23] <mihir> no
[07:23] <kinja-sheep> claws_: You could "sudo aptitude purge <xyz>" that will remove the package's config files. As for personal yet package-related config files, it is usually untouched in ~/ (Only because that's personal config files)..
[07:23] <psycho_oreos> mihir, open up terminal, type in "lspci -nnk" *without quotes* and pastebin the output
[07:24] <kinja-sheep> theadmin: Try localhost? :0
[07:24] <mihir> how to open terminal
[07:24] <theadmin> kinja-sheep: Hm, weird.
[07:24] <kinja-sheep> mihir: In Applications --> Accessories.
[07:24] <theadmin> kinja-sheep: But it worked
[07:24] <alankila> Archy1987: sadly, I don't believe Linux will ever get the hordes of popular software, unless it changes its culture in some obvious way. Linux is associated with highly idealistic people who hate proprietary software past all point of reason in my opinion. There is no sympathy for the realities of commercial software making & distribution.
[07:24] <adarsha> theadmin: my firefox doesn't freeze, just says can't connect to 127.0.0.1
[07:24] <kinja-sheep> theadmin: Weird, indeed.
[07:25] <theadmin> adarsha: Hm. Running no server i belive? :D
[07:25] <alankila> Archy1987: consequently, there will never be such software and the best we can hope is to clone Windows and OS X APIs so that we can run the software meant for those platforms.
[07:25] <adarsha> nope! i'm using a laptop. :)
[07:25] <theadmin> adarsha: Server as in Apache
[07:25] <psycho_oreos> !terminal | mihir
[07:25] <adarsha> theadmin: oh! no..
[07:26] <mihir> all the hardware connected are listed
[07:26] <ghostnik11> can someone help me get my ubuntu 9.10 to load, it won't load please
[07:26] <chd> I'm having trouble configuring my dual display. I'm on ubuntu 9.10 and when I run my display preferences and try to enable my second display I get this: The current settings cannot be completely applied due to one or more of the following reasons: and it gives 5 bullets. I had it working fine just a day ago and then bam, its fucked up.
[07:26] <psycho_oreos> mihir, correct, now copy and paste the contents of that output into pastebin (a website) then paste the link to it here

[07:32] <ghostnik11> theadmin: what were do i go to get help with that
[07:32] <alankila> ghostnik11: you can try a debug boot or press esc maybe to close the splash and perhaps see some errors.
[07:32] <mihir> how to use pastebin
[07:32] <ikonia> mihir: exactly as the link says
[07:32] <soreau> ! paste | mihir

[07:34] <ikonia> boon: what is that ?
[07:34] <boon> it was ubuntu source?

[07:36] <psycho_oreos> mihir, you'll need to install firmware to get that device to work

[07:41] <psycho_oreos> mihir, if you followed that page, and restarted, you won't need to worry about firmware
[07:42] <Andorin> Alright... I'm in serious trouble... Ubuntu is suddenly failing to mount my portable hard drive... just, out of the blue... And I really really need to get it fixed...
[07:42] <ranjan> ikonia : all this values are present and not only that ... i am geting the ping response from the dns server .. but i am failing to get conected ..

[07:46] <racerd> is it decent?
[07:46] <solid_liquid> tehbaut, it's in the manpage for mount, so I'd say it does
[07:46] <Andorin> Guys, Ubuntu has suddenly stopped being able to mount my portable HD, and I REALLY need access to it!
[07:46] <theadmin> hidensoft: You probably have no permission to write to where you're trying to.
[07:46] <racerd> pidgin i mean, my win7 just expired and i was using wubi
[07:46] <tehbaut> solid_liquid: I know it's supported for read and write
[07:46] <racerd> i am full blown linux now
[07:46] <theadmin> Andorin: Try to fsck it
[07:46] <hidensoft> that is unsaved document !
[07:46] <soreau> Andorin: How does it connect?
[07:47] <tehbaut> solid_liquid: I just want to format partitions as hfs+ in gparted
[07:47] <ikonia> ranjan: is this on a wired or wireless network
[07:47] <Andorin> soreau: USB
[07:47] <solid_liquid> tehbaut, I don't see a mkfs for hfs+
[07:47] <tehbaut> dang
[07:47] <ikonia> ranjan: ahhh there is no reponse, it's a time out, that's because you're not on the network
[07:47] <ranjan> it is an wired network .. by the means of lan
[07:47] <soreau> Andorin: Do dmesg and lsusb show it after you plug it in?
[07:47] <ikonia> ranjan: ok - so look at your default gateway address, what is that address
[07:47] <Andorin> soreau: lsusb does, I already checked that.
[07:48] <Kutakizukari> Installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Latitude D600, cannot get connected to the interent wirelessly. I tried sudo lshw -C network and it is disabled. Does anyone know how to enable it or something else I should try?
[07:48] <racerd> you guys like pidgin?
[07:48] <psycho_oreos> Kutakizukari, pastebin your lspci -nnk output
[07:48] <soreau> Andorin: Can you mount the device from the node it is assigned? (reported by dmesg)
[07:48] <ranjan> 10.10.249.1 it the default gate way ..
[07:49] <soreau> Kutakizukari: What kind of wifi device do you have?
[07:49] <Kutakizukari> psycho_oreos do that in the termerinal?

[07:49] <psycho_oreos> Kutakizukari, yes
[07:49] <hidensoft> please help me
[07:49] <Andorin> soreau: Do you mean something like /dev/sdf1/?
[07:49] <soreau> Andorin: Yes
[07:49] <ikonia> ranjan: and can you ping that device,
[07:49] <ranjan> ikonia :: yes
[07:50] <ikonia> ranjan: you can ping the default gateway, what does it repond with (please paste)
[07:50] <ranjan> and i am geting the response
[07:50] <Andorin> soreau: Well, I'm pretty sure that that's where it gets assigned, but when I run "sudo mount /dev/sdf1/ it says it can't find it in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab/
[07:50] <ranjan> 64 bytes from 10.10.249.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=4.46 ms

[07:50] <ranjan> 64 bytes from 10.10.249.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=6.71 ms
[07:50] <soreau> Andorin: You have to mount it to a location, like an empty directory. For example, sudo mount /dev/sdf1 /media/disk
[07:50] <Netwizz> That is a unix like ping
[07:51] <ikonia> Andorin: you need to specifivy the device and the mount point
[07:51] <ranjan> ikonia :; 64 bytes from 10.10.249.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=6.71 ms i am geting this
[07:51] <ikonia> ranjan: ok - great, so in that case it's either a.) the dns servers are not valid, b.) the default gateway cannot route to that subnet
[07:51] <Andorin> soreau: Okay, I get an error, shall I pastebin it?
[07:51] <ikonia> Netwizz: and ?
[07:51] <racerd> hey i am getting an error when i am trying to save me nvidia settings

[07:53] <Andorin> soreau: I don't have a Windows box.
[07:54] <ikonia> ranjan: ok, well, it's one of those two problems
[07:54] <Andorin> soreau: Unless you refer to the rest...
[07:54] <soreau> Andorin: AFAICT, the device had been plugged into a windows os box and not properly unmounted
[07:54] <dehqan> what does "iU" mean in statu of  a package
[07:55] <ikonia> soreau: bang on
[07:55] <soreau> ikonia: ?
[07:55] <ikonia> soreau: you're correct
[07:55] <Andorin> soreau: That can't be the case. This drive hasn't been plugged into a Windows computer for... about a month, maybe. This error just started happening about fifteen minutes ago.
[07:56] <tobiaz_tuz> #j
[07:56] <soreau> Andorin: I assume the device is ntfs or fat fs?
[07:56] <tehbaut> ok, this is annoying... I installed hfsprogs via Synaptic, and I still cannot format disks as hfs+ ...only as hfs
[07:56] <soreau> ikonia: Pretty obvious, with the plainly descriptive output and such ;)
[07:56] <tehbaut> anyone got a clue why that might be?
[07:56] <tobiaz_tuz> hello
[07:56] <tobiaz_tuz> #ubuntu
[07:56] <Andorin> soreau: Yes, NTFS
[07:56] <soreau> ! hi | tobiaz_tuz
[07:56] <ranjan> ikonia :; so i nead to talk to the network admin with this issue .. and one last question .. if there have been any issue with the values then i could not have recived the login portal page .. but it is showing up .. and not only that i am able to make login to the portal.....
[07:57] <ikonia> ranjan: that portal maybe on the same network
[07:57] <ghostnik11> can anyone help me with this error that i get: common problems: boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
[07:57] <ikonia> ranjan: or be cached
[07:57] <tehbaut> btw, what _is_ casper-rw?
[07:57] <soreau> Andorin: Well I dont think linux has any utilities designed for checking that file system. You will have do plug the device into a machine that has an os with utilities for its fs
[07:57] <tehbaut> not finding anything on Google...
[07:57] <psycho_oreos> casper is kind of like compressed filesystem
[07:57] <DcMeese> how so I install "google-fu"
[07:58] <Kutakizukari> After the lspci -nnk output it displays usage: lspci [<switches>] and a bunch or text like basic display modes and other stuff. what do I do next
[07:58] <soreau> Andorin: If the device had an ext fs on it, this wouldnt be a problem ;)
[07:58] <psycho_oreos> Kutakizukari, you're not typing it right, a correct output would show you all the devices connected via PCI or related methods
[07:59] <Andorin> soreau: I don't understand how this could have come about... I plugged the drive into my desktop (both computer run Karmic) and copied my .mozilla folder onto it to put on my laptop, onto which I just reinstalled Karmic. I unmount, wait until it says "It is now safe to remove the device," unplug it, take it to the laptop, and it doesn't work.

[07:59] <ghostnik11> can anyone help me with this error that i get: common problems: boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
[07:59] <Andorin> soreau: And I would have an ext file system if I didn't also have to sometimes use the drive with someone's Windows machine.
[08:00] <soreau> Andorin: Something happened and the fs decided to fail you. Since it is not a native fs for linux, there arent any native utilities to fix it
[08:01] <tobiaz_tuz> pantaskah aq ini jadi penghuni sorga
[08:01] <ghostnik11> can anyone help me with this error that i get: common problems: boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
[08:01] <Kutakizukari> psycho_oreos: I did it with sudo it now says PCI access options
[08:02] <psycho_oreos> Kutakizukari, that isn't right either
[08:02] <soreau> Andorin: And fwiw, there are drivers for windoze so it can read ext fs
[08:02] <claws_> why is my adsl speed so low on linux.. im on wlan.. anything im missin?
[08:03] <ikonia> claws_: probably poor wirless card support
[08:03] <Andorin> soreau: Sure, but... primarily I use it with public library computers. Also, I don't know what I'm going to do... I don't have a Windows OS on any of my computers...
[08:03] <Kutakizukari> psycho_oreos: ok tried this sudo lshw -C network and it show that it is disabled
[08:04] <ikonia> Andorin: you can use the "force" option to mount without checking
[08:04] <psycho_oreos> Kutakizukari, I don't need lshw, I need "lspci -nnk"
[08:04] <Andorin> Is that really something I want to do?
[08:04] <soreau> Andorin: Try asking in #linux or #hardware?
[08:04] <ikonia> Andorin: not in my opinion, but it's an option
[08:04] <nomad77> Andorin: check out ntfs-3g maybe?
[08:04] <psycho_oreos> Kutakizukari, here: http://mike.passwall.com/nblug/kernel-talk/lspci.html
[08:04] <soreau> Andorin: Well yes, you can use -f.. but I wouldnt openly recommend it
[08:04] <Andorin> Okay, well, I don't want to screw anything else up more than this situation already is... I mean, I NEED this drive.
[08:05] <ikonia> Andorin: you need to start backing it up then
[08:05] <Kutakizukari> psycho_oreos: got it to work was typing output with it
[08:05] <ikonia> Andorin: and you need to use a windows machine to check it
[08:05] <Kutakizukari> psycho_oreos: what do you need now
[08:05] <psycho_oreos> Kutakizukari, need you to copy the contents of that output and paste it into pastebin, then send me the link
[08:05] <plum> is there any way to have windows partition be able to view the linux(ubuntu) partition?
[08:05] <plum> read/write
[08:06] <psycho_oreos> plum, you'll need ext2ifs I think
[08:06] <soreau> plum: Yes
[08:06] <plum> is it free?
[08:06] <soreau> plum: Yes
[08:06] <nomad77> Andorin: testdisk might be useful,but read before using it.
[08:06] <ghostnik11> can anyone help me with this error that i get: common problems: boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
[08:06] <plum> awesome :) thanks, looking into it nowe
[08:06] <plum> now *
[08:07] <soreau> ghostnik11: Is that message causing a problem for you?
[08:07] <ghostnik11> soreau: yeah i can't load my filesystem for some reason and i don't know it was working perfectly yesterday and puff everything goes wrong when i wake up to turn it on
[08:07] <lucid_interval> Andorin: there _is_ a utility to do an fsck on an NTFS FS on Linux - it is called ntfsfix - google it. But use at your own risk
[08:08] <Bear10> Whats the equivalent of ctrl alt delete in ubunutu?
[08:08] <lucid_interval> Andorin: the full functionality of SCANDISK on windows for NTFS is not replicated in ntfs-3g (whatever that full functionality may be)
[08:09] <Bear10> I think my ubuntu froze :(
[08:09] <claws_> ikonia: im not so sure aboute that... here is my Router "http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Communication/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=2974&ProductName=GN-BR32L-RH"  and my wireless card is a Intel pro 2200bg.
[08:09] <tommis> Bear10, you cann add shortcut into the system manager thinhy
[08:10] <tommis> i dont know what it is in english
[08:10] <soreau> Bear10: You might be ale to get to a console with Ctrl+Alt+F1 and back to X with Ctrl+Alt+F7
[08:10] <Bear10> thanks

[08:11] <psycho_oreos> scp
[08:11] <von_neumann> xorxes: psycho_oreos is correct, scp
[08:12] <soreau> xorxes: scp /path/to/file user@<ip-address>:/path/to/save
[08:12] <lucid_interval> xorxes: sftp / scp in reverse direction. or end ssh session and sftp / scp

[08:12] <DcMeese> !welcome | titan_ark
[08:12] <titan_ark> hello DcMeese :)
[08:13] <soreau> xorxes: Conversely, you can use scp user@<ipaddress>:/path/to/file /where/to/save  since you dont have to be sshd into the box you are using scp to copy from
[08:13] <xorxes> thanks dudes :D

[08:28] <ActionParsnip> Psycho_oreos: awesome nick
[08:28] <psycho_oreos> ActionParsnip, err ok thanks :)
[08:29] <Logicwax> no one knows that answer, eh
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> Logicwax: I joined after the question. Maybe I can help
 whats the point of partitioning an HDD with a specific partition table, when you can just directly format it?  (mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda)
[08:30] <psycho_oreos> I just noticed that
[08:30] <Logicwax> there we go
[08:31] <Logicwax> because i just built another raid5 mdadm array....and im formatting it right now directly.  and i never made a partition table on it....and it works
[08:31] <psycho_oreos> and no I don't quite understand the question either, read it the second time
[08:31] <Logicwax> was wondering if theres a downside to it
[08:31] <Logicwax> or something that will come and bite me in the ass down the road
[08:31] <Logicwax> psycho_oreos: like say...for example, you have a new HDD..../dev/sdb
[08:32] <psycho_oreos> a partition table sets up various limits, and it prevents excessive fragging on one partition. if its a huge partition and it needs to be fsck'ed it will take awhile
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> Logicwax: not sure. Both a "normal" partition and the drive as you have it are files in Linux so are equal in that respect
[08:32] <Logicwax> so writing a partition table and THEN formating isnt going to make any difference then just straight direct formating without a table?
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> Logicwax: if it works and its performing ok then keep it ;)
[08:33] <psycho_oreos> and having separate partitions can possibly safeguard some bad mistakes, like deleting stuff from /boot or /home, etc when they are mounted on different partition
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> Logicwax: I've never had a drive with a single partition on it
[08:33] <Logicwax> oh no this isnt going to be used for the OS, or be divided into partitions
[08:33] <psycho_oreos> if you format without a table, you don't really have a partition table or you probably have one big partition
[08:33] <Logicwax> yea

[08:34] <dehqan> sorry
[08:34] <dehqan> how to fix this error ? http://pastebin.com/2cSMkQNN
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> Logicwax: sounds like a miniresearch project. I'd ask in #hardware too
[08:34] <Logicwax> so i was just wondering if having no table will haunt me in the future......maybe cause problems
[08:34] <holmser> I'm having an issue sending mail with postfix.  When I telnet in locally, I can send mail just fine.  but when I try to do it from anywhere else, I get this error: Mar  5 00:31:31 H4ckM3 postfix/smtpd[31198]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from c-67-185-215-55.hsd1.wa.comcast.net[67.185.215.55]: 554 5.7.1 <holmser171@gmail.com>: Relay access denied;

[08:35] <Logicwax> well forget that its a RAID
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> Dehqan: mixingdebs from diffferent release is heavily discouraged and not supported
[08:35] <Archy1987> claws_, soreau if i use save image as, it downloads only that small download.gif image. How to open that image ? :D
[08:35] <Logicwax> i just have it as one device right now.   or lets say this question pertains to my other single hdd
[08:35] <holmser> anyone have knowledge of mail servers that they would like to send my way?  I'm a complete newb with this.
[08:35] <Logicwax> im just wondering if the partition table matters
[08:35] <brjann> Logicwax: after a few minutes with google, I've found a few offhand remarks about using the entire device, but nothing specific so far.
[08:35] <dehqan> how to fix this error ? http://pastebin.com/2cSMkQNN ActionParsnip
 internal Mini-PCI Wi-Fi (802.11b, 802.11b/g or 802.11a/b/g) wireless support; does this help?

[08:35] <brjann> Logicwax: remarks about it being a bad idea, i mean.
[08:35] <psycho_oreos> Logicwax, probably not ideal to not have a predefined partition table even if you're going to use the entire drive
[08:36] <psycho_oreos> Kutakizukari, no, not one bit
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> Dehqan: not sure. Log a bug. If you have mixed release debs then this is the result
[08:36] <psycho_oreos> Kutakizukari, in fact that's worse than your previous guess
[08:36] <Logicwax> brjann: bad idea?
[08:37] <psycho_oreos> Kutakizukari, there's like 7 different wireless manufacturers out there
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> Dehqan: jaunty debs are for jaunty only. Karmic are for karmic only. If you mix them you will get a mess and break your install
[08:37] <psycho_oreos> Kutakizukari, and I can't see how you can't copy the entire lspci -nnk output
[08:37] <brjann> Logicwax: using the entire device unpartitioned.
[08:37] <Kutakizukari> I can copy it but have nothing to transfer it of to my desktop
[08:38] <psycho_oreos> Kutakizukari, you mean its on another computer?
[08:38] <Kutakizukari> yes
[08:38] <Kutakizukari> labtop
[08:38] <psycho_oreos> Kutakizukari, do you not have a spare network cable that you can plug it into?

[09:12] <tehbaut> is it possible to make a 273MB casper-rw file?
[09:12] <brjann> adante: do you by chance use vino or vnc?
[09:12] <adante> brjann: vnc
[09:14] <c0l2e> how can I disable USB storage usage for users????
[09:15] <brjann> adante: okay. you're experiencing what is apparently known as the abfh bug, which appears to be somehow related to vnc. try this: open up a terminal window and type (sorry)    gconf-editor
[09:15] <dehqan> how to make apt-get to not stop at E: Package gstreamer0.10-nice has no installation candidate
[09:16] <Gnea> adante: or just cut 'n paste it if it won't type out
[09:16] <adante> brjann: lol, ok :]
[09:16] <brjann> adante: then navigate to desktop > gnome > peripherals > keyboard > kbd
[09:16] <FireCrotch> c0l2e: Users have to use sudo to mount devices. you can limit what commands can be run by editing the sudoers file
[09:17] <adante> hmm does base ubuntu have an onscreen keyboard
[09:17] <c0l2e> i mean totally ban usage of USB drives or external usb drives
[09:17] <mawst> What's that thing that shows the white ubuntu icon when you first boot? I know it's themeable I just can't rememebr
[09:18] <Gnea> adante: should be under the accessibility options
[09:18] <bung> ive updated recently using the auto updates, and now scrolling in firefox is verychoppy
[09:18] <Gnea> c0l2e: to lock the desktop down?
[09:18] <bung> new .20 kernel?
[09:18] <adante> Gnea: where is that, exactly?
[09:19] <c0l2e> no i just need to disable usb storage so they cannot use USB storage / external usb storage to store data from network...etc
[09:19] <Gnea> adante: I think it's under System->Preferences
[09:19] <FireCrotch> c0l2e: Right. My solution should prevent that, since they won't be able to mount the devices to use them.
[09:19] <Gnea> c0l2e: just make sure they're not part of the group associated with usb drives
[09:20] <brjann> adante: you shouldn't need it. once you have gconf-editor open we can see if this fix will work in about 30 seconds
[09:20] <FireCrotch> c0l2e: As long as you have no daemon running that will auto-mount them, that is
[09:20] <c0l2e>  FireCrotch:   tried  adding usb-storage to blacklist of modprobe.conf
[09:20] <adante> brjann: ok, i made it!
[09:20] <c0l2e> but  not working
[09:20] <c0l2e> FireCrotch:  where is that?
[09:21] <adante> brjann: yeah, i couldn't actually even find the letter 'g' after  pressing every key on my keyboard... but nm, i launched gconf-editor from a shell
[09:21] <adante> brjann: i'm at the kbd node anyway, what's the next step
[09:21] <brjann> adante: hooray! navigate to desktop > gnome > peripherals > keyboard > kbd
[09:21] <brjann> adante: okay, on the right you should see either an empty value [] or something like [us] or [<your country code>]
[09:22] <FireCrotch> c0l2e: Right now, do USB drives auto-mount?
[09:22] <c0l2e> yep
[09:22] <adante> brjann: i have 3 key-value pairs
[09:22] <adante> brjann: layouts:[us,gb]; model:<blank>; options[grp grp:alts_toggle]
[09:22] <c0l2e> I can set nautilus not to mount them.. but still they can see  the new storage device in nautilus and click it to mount
[09:23] <brjann> adante: okay, doubleclick layouts and just pound your keyboard a few times to enter some garbage
[09:23] <c0l2e> but I do not want to disable all usb devices.. just for storage only
[09:23] <adante> brjann: easy! :] done
[09:23] <brjann> adante: i.e., remove the layouts that are there and add a new garbage one
[09:23] <adante> that, i am good at :P
[09:24] <brjann> adante: hehe, okay. hit okay and close gconf-editor, then cross your fingers and test your keyboard
[09:24] <adante> brjann: hrm no luck.. would i have to restart my x session? will try that now
[09:24] <brjann> adante: hm, gconf settings usually take effect instantly. but sure, you can try that
[09:25] <mawst> Ok what's the splash after grub but before usplash?
[09:25] <FireCrotch> c0l2e: "gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount false" should disable automounting
[09:26] <toader> Hi, what is the meaning of POSIX-compatible  filesystem?
[09:26] <adante> brjann: sadly no vnc server does not start at all
[09:26] <c0l2e>  FireCrotch:  yeah i got this but it still shows that a new storage devices is available
[09:26] <c0l2e> just click and it will mount
[09:27] <brjann> adante: hm. you have ssh access? we can reset that key from the command line
[09:27] <FireCrotch> c0l2e: I believe it showing up there is handled by udev, so you'll have to write a udev rule to stop it from doing that
[09:28] <adante> brjann: yeah i do
[09:28] <c0l2e> FireCrotch:  yeah. but I don't have any idea how to do it
[09:28] <brjann> adante: okay, login and run   gconftool --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts --type List --list-type String [us,gb]
[09:29] <srini> any option to lock icons on desktop in Ubuntu??
[09:30] <adante> brjann: hmm tried that but vncserver still doesn't run
[09:30] <adante> brjann: i'm not sure if this is related to the gconf setting or not, seems kind of odd
[09:30] <FireCrotch> c0l2e: This might be a good place to start with that: http://siliconbased.wordpress.com/2009/03/03/ignoring-devices-with-udev-rules/
[09:30] <brjann> adante: it does indeed, keyboard layouts shouldn't prevent vnc from starting
[09:30] <c0l2e> thanks
[09:30] <c0l2e> found a way to bind it to a group
[09:30] <adante> brjann: sadly i am unsure how to get any form of logging on vncserver
[09:31] <brjann> adante: i haven't used vnc since like 1998, so i have no idea either :)
[09:32] <mtx_init> Most people just use X11 forwarding via ssh, its similair and more platform independent
[09:32] <aeiou_> is apache2-mpm-peruser included as a package for any version of ubuntu?
[09:32] <brjann> adante: i'd either reboot or at least restart gdm and see if that helps
[09:32] <jellow> How big does a live cd usb have to be ? 700 mb?
[09:33] <adante> x11 forwarding via ssh is more platform independent than vnc you say
[09:33] <mtx_init> adante: I would say so
[09:33] <FireCrotch> aeiou_: I don't see it for Karmic
[09:33] <sabgenton_> in grub2
[09:33] <sabgenton_> how does grub-mkconfig know what partion to assign to  root=bla
[09:33] <sabgenton_> ?
[09:33] <FireCrotch> aeiou_: you can check packages.ubuntu.com to check the other versions
[09:33] <mtx_init> adante: on OSX ssh will just work, on ant unix like system ssh will be there and in windows just install xwin32
[09:34] <jellow> I mean a (Live-cd) usb install stick , 700 mb?
[09:34] <aeiou_> FireCrotch, ok thanks I'll have to compile then
[09:34] <FireCrotch> jellow: the same as for a CD :)
[09:34] <mementomori> is it possible having a dual head pc with a monitor using a full screen virtualbox session?
[09:34] <jellow> FireCrotch: Ok thanks
[09:34] <Dj-Pilot94> Hello
[09:35] <FireCrotch> mementomori: basically so that you can have, for instance, Windows on one monitor, Ubuntu on another? Certainly
[09:35] <Basalisk> does anyone know how to extract external links from a pdf document
[09:35] <adante> brjann: well i'm trying to forge ahead with an upgrade to 9.10 now anyway via cmd line
[09:35] <adante> brjann: thanks for your help, appreciated!
[09:35] <Basalisk> (this is the pdf embedded in a browser split into many files problem)
[09:35] <satdav> Hey guys do you instal yum on Ubuntu
[09:36] <mtx_init> mementomori: im doing it right now, you just need the vbox guest additions
[09:36] <mementomori> FireCrotch, exactly. which video card should I buy? ndivia or ati?
[09:36] <mtx_init> nvidia
[09:36] <mtx_init> nvidia
[09:36] <mtx_init> no ati
[09:36] <FloodBot4> mtx_init: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:36] <skrite> nvidia
[09:36] <FireCrotch> mementomori: nvidia, for sure
[09:36] <tehbaut> can someone ...anyone... tell me why I cannot format a partition as hfs+ even after installing hfsprogs?
[09:36] <brjann> adante: no problem. here's the link to the page i was looking at, there's one other possibility in the comments that might help related to the .vnc/xstartup script: http://blog.yclian.com/2007/12/3-solutions-to-gnomevnc-keyboard.html
[09:36] <FireCrotch> satdav: Um why would you want to do that?
[09:36] <tehbaut> this has me seriously flustered
[09:36] <bazhang> satdav, you dont
[09:36] <mementomori> mtx_init, what happens if you try to "rotate" the cube?
[09:37] <satdav> yum is a good service
[09:37] <FireCrotch> satdav: yum is horrible
[09:37] <bazhang> satdav, nonetheless ubuntu uses apt
[09:37] <mtx_init> mementomori: I disable all of that stuff, Im not a fan of fancy gui;s, so I have no idea
[09:37] <FireCrotch> satdav: and ubuntu uses apt
[09:37] <satdav> what is apt
[09:37] <satdav> I never hered of that
[09:37] <bazhang> !apt > satdav
[09:37] <mementomori> mtx_init, so you dont have compix. ok
[09:37] <FireCrotch> satdav: it's ubuntu's package management system
[09:38] <mtx_init> mementomori: nope, well it is likely on the system, but I spend most time in the terminal, so I dont use it
[09:38] <satdav> OK does it include openfire on that
[09:38] <mementomori> mtx_init, how many virtual desktop do you have?
[09:38] <bazhang> satdav, what is openfire
[09:39] <FireCrotch> mementomori: I *think* you can set each head separately when it comes to the cube and stuff, but its complex
[09:39] <mtx_init> mementomori: I have a few windows installs for different purposes.  One to print ecoupons lets say, another to download ebooks, another to work on my resume and thats about it.
[09:39] <satdav> it is a java based irc cliant
[09:40] <mementomori> what I want to know is each head is binded to a different X session or to a different virtual desktop
[09:40] <bazhang> satdav, what version of Ubuntu are you using
[09:40] <satdav> the latest one
[09:40] <bazhang> satdav, apt-cache search openfire
[09:40] <satdav> OK
[09:41] <satdav> so I need to ssh to it
[09:41] <c0l2e> FireCrotch:  found it and now it works
[09:41] <PingFloyd> why different windows installs as apposed to one window install to handle all of that?
[09:41] <FireCrotch> c0l2e: Yay
[09:41] <c0l2e> how can I test for group in udev's? rules?
[09:41] <c0l2e> I'll post it in my blog
[09:41] <c0l2e> http://hardc0l2e.wordpress.com
[09:42] <mementomori> mtx_init, FireCrotch...
[09:42] <c0l2e> Now secondly, how can I bind that rules against groups??
[09:42] <satdav> hey guys what is the command to install tomcat
[09:42] <mtx_init> whats up?
[09:42] <FireCrotch> mementomori: you can have separate x sessions
[09:42] <c0l2e> example  only users of group usb_users can access USB drives
[09:43] <bazhang> satdav, tomcat6?
[09:44] <mementomori> FireCrotch, should I configure them manually or will it be done "automatically"
[09:44] <master> hey
[09:44] <FireCrotch> c0l2e: I would have udev mount USB drives as being read/write for only the usb_users group
[09:44] <master> anybody from cali
[09:45] <c0l2e> FireCrotch:  yeah
[09:45] <master> IM FROM THE BAY
[09:45] <master> anyboay
[09:45] <Tecnoman> hi guys i install ubuntu remix in my acer aspire one but i have problems with 3 things , microphone , i can read any sd card and the mp4 videos run very slow.
[09:45] <soreau> master: What does this have to do with ubuntu?
[09:45] <c0l2e> does this  GROUP=="GROUPNAME" WORKS?
[09:45] <bazhang> master, did you have an Ubuntu support question?
[09:45] <c0l2e> sorry for the CAPS
[09:45] <c0l2e> hehe
[09:45] <gbis> hello
[09:45] <PingFloyd> master: which bay?
[09:45] <master> hahahahahah im a pimp see yaaaa
[09:45] <FireCrotch> mementomori: if I recall correctly, nvidia-settings lets you set it to be separate X sessions
[09:45] <gbis> good morning
[09:45] <PingFloyd> from the bay of pigs?
[09:46] <SidneyLinux> hi
[09:46] <Tecnoman> hi guys i install ubuntu remix in my acer aspire one but i have problems with 3 things , microphone , i can read any sd card and the mp4 videos run very slow.
[09:46] <mementomori> FireCrotch, can you point me to any doc about this topic?
[09:46] <FireCrotch> c0l2e: I think it will
[09:46] <gbis> i need your help for a pb with ubuntu server 9.10
[09:46] <MrNaz_yma> any bash gurus here bored and want to earn a quick buck? i need  a small script done and im happy to pay by paypal if someone does it for me
[09:46] <c0l2e> FireCrotch:  ok better try it.. hahah thanks dude
[09:46] <mtx_init> MrNaz_yma: try #bash
[09:46] <MrNaz_yma> mtx_init aah cool
[09:47] <satdav> yes tomcat 6
[09:47] <bazhang> satdav, sudo apt-get install tomcat6
[09:47] <raven> virtualbox+usb - right vb version and guest-additions installed but still usb function deactivated/grey - what could i do?
[09:47] <satdav> OK
[09:47] <Tecnoman> any help ¿?
[09:48] <rocketeerbkw> why can't I create a directory when I'm a member of a group with rwx?
[09:49] <mementomori> rocketeerbkw, type the command "id" in the shell you are trying to make the dir and see if you are actually in that group
[09:49] <FireCrotch> mementomori: I don't know of any specific docs, but I did check, and you can set each monitor to use a separate X session with nvidia-settings
[09:49] <brjann> rocketeerbkw: is the filesystem readonly?
[09:49] <mementomori> FireCrotch, thank you.
[09:49] <lamefun> Is there some distro, even more newbie-friendly than Ubuntu?
[09:50] <zetheroo> I should be able to have more than 10 tabs open in FF without it acting like it wants to crash every 2 min
[09:50] <mtx_init> lamefun: maybe mint
[09:50] <rocketeerbkw> FireCrotch: id says I'm not, but groups does
[09:50] <rocketeerbkw> brjann: nope
[09:50] <soreau> lamefun: For linux, I would say probably not
[09:50] <mementomori> FireCrotch, should I login in both head?
[09:50] <bazhang> lamefun, that is outside of the scope of this channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:50] <brjann> rocketeerbkw: did you happen to add yourself to this group during the same login session you're in now?
[09:50] <indus> lamefun, mandriva
[09:50] <zetheroo> Firefox is feeling very buggy and overweight
[09:50] <FireCrotch> mementomori: what do you mean?
[09:51] <mementomori> FireCrotch, if I have two different X sessions at startup will I have two different gdm login screens?
[09:51] <rocketeerbkw> brjann: yes, is it as simple as logging out and in again?
[09:51] <brjann> rocketeerbkw: yep
[09:51] <mementomori> rocketeerbkw, you can try to cast "su -"
[09:52] <rocketeerbkw> brjann: thx!
[09:52] <brjann> rocketeerbkw: no problem :)
[09:52] <FireCrotch> mementomori: I don't think you'll have two gdm login screens, but I'll have to defer to someone else on that question, since I don't have my other computer anymore to try it out on
[09:52] <piojunbabia> i accidentally mess up my compiz configuration... i can no longer use my left click button on my mouse unless i hold press ctrl first before using the left click (or right click too maybe) how may i resolve my problem?
[09:53] <soreau> piojunbabia: ccsm>Preferences>Reset to Defaults
[09:53] <soreau> piojunbabia: Or, sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects>none
[09:53] <piojunbabia> soreau let me try, thanks
[09:53] <brjann> mementomori, FireCrotch: no, if you set up seperate x screens using nvidia-settings you'll still only have the one gdm login screen.
[09:53] <zetheroo> what is a good lightweight alternative to FF?
[09:54] <mtx_init> zetheroo: edbrowse
[09:54] <skrite> zetheroo, ff as in firefox?
[09:54] <FireCrotch> brjann: Thanks for chiming in :) Am I correct in saying that he'll be able to have separate compiz cubes on them?
[09:54] <zetheroo> skrite: yep
[09:54] <mementomori> FireCrotch, ok. last question: will I need two mice and keyboards or is sufficient to move the mouse in the screen I want to work on to focus it?
[09:54] <JonathanEllis> I am running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Yesterday Ubuntu downloaded updates including a kernel update. Grub update asked to replace menu.lst so I clicked on what seemed the most sensible option (replace with package maintainers version). Now Ubuntu wont boot. Grub comes up with Error 11: Unrecognized device string. Now this happened last time I had a kernel update and I fixed it by replacing the uuid entries with /dev/sdxy entries but I think this should
[09:54] <skrite> zetheroo, google-chrome is pretty cool
[09:55] <FireCrotch> mementomori: just one kb and mouse :)
[09:55] <zetheroo> skrite; is that in the repos?
[09:55] <soreau> FireCrotch: Yes, but you wont be able to move windows from one screen to the other
[09:55] <brjann> FireCrotch: i'd imagine so. in every respect they're separate screens. they could run different WMs if he wanted
[09:55] <skrite> no, easy to get though, one click
[09:55] <skrite> zetheroo, will get you the link
[09:55] <mementomori> soreau, this is not an issue for me...
[09:55] <zetheroo> Chromium Browser
[09:55] <zetheroo> is that the same
[09:56] <zetheroo> ?
[09:56] <piojunbabia> soreau: geee thanks it worked!!!!
[09:56] <indus> zetheroo, add the ppa
[09:56] <indus> zetheroo, i suggest just download chrome
[09:56] <wubrgamer> any excel nerds in here?  How do I count a column for the number of instances of cells containing the letter B ? say "wubrgamer" (my nick) if you care to respond please!  This should work in Calc too
[09:56] <soreau> piojunbabia: cool
[09:56] <indus> zetheroo, www.google.com/chrome
[09:56] <srv> i have 2 network interfaces, Can i use make ssh to use only eth0 and not wlan0
[09:56] <FireCrotch> brjann, soreau: Thanks again :) I haven't had too much experience with dual monitor setups
[09:56] <vorlock> guys any idea what error -3 means when running splashy?
[09:57] <zetheroo> indus: is it the same as Chromium Browser
[09:57] <zetheroo> ?
[09:57] <FireCrotch> srv: are we talking about on the ssh server or client?
[09:57] <soreau> srv: You could unload the wifi driver module
[09:57] <JonathanEllis> I just reinstated my old menu.lst and it works. Thing I cant understand is why the uuid version doesnt work when the uuids have been generated by grub update and they appear to be correct
[09:57] <srv> ssh client
[09:57] <indus> zetheroo, its the same underlying code but its a google product, chromium is open source
[09:57] <piojunbabia> zetheroo, i think cromium and chrome are just the same
[09:57] <indus> zetheroo, its a long story
[09:58] <srv> soreau: i dont want to do that, i have some apps using wlan0
[09:58] <indus> zetheroo, chrome is stable, chromium is development and will break
[09:58] <zetheroo> indus; I have Chromium Browser Daily Builds in Ubuntu Tweak as a PPA repo I can add
[09:58] <mr-grey> I have a quick question, I just got ubuntu and I'm rather new to lynux and I downloaded a game from the software center and my sound goes out of wack when I play it, also I can't use the rythembox and play the game at the same time my sound goes entirely out... any sugjestions?
[09:58] <indus> zetheroo, what exactly do you need
[09:58] <soreau> srv: Well you said you wanted to use eth0 and not wlan0. Maube you should describe a bit more in detail your situation
[09:58] <zetheroo> indus: there is another repo I can add called Google Stable Source
[09:59] <indus> zetheroo, where?
[09:59] <JonathanEllis> I am running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Yesterday Ubuntu downloaded updates including a kernel update. Grub update asked to replace menu.lst so I clicked on what seemed the most sensible option (replace with package maintainers version). Now Ubuntu wont boot.

[09:59] <devdz> "
[09:59] <indus> zetheroo, i dont know , i just use chrome it crashes a lot though
[09:59] <srv> i  have some apps (mozilla firefox)  using wlan0; i want ssh to use only eth0
[09:59] <zetheroo> indus: FF is just horrible for anything more than 4-5 tabs for me ...
[09:59] <raven> virtualbox+usb - right vb version and guest-additions installed but still usb function deactivated/grey - what could i do?
[09:59] <indus> zetheroo, how much ram? did you know that firefox consumes least amount of ram with mor e tabs compared to other browsers?
[10:00] <zetheroo> indus: I am using Ubuntu Tweak .. it has a heap of cool repos
[10:00] <indus> hmm never heard of it
[10:00] <Rezu> yo!
[10:00] <Rezu> ubuntu chat going on
[10:00] <Rezu> http://tinychat.com/swifty
[10:00] <Rezu> join us on tinychat
[10:00] <FireCrotch> srv: use iptables to block outgoing port 22 on the wireless interface
[10:00] <bazhang> Rezu, dont paste that here
[10:01] <zetheroo> indus: I have 4 GB of RAM ... 320 GB 7200RPM HDD ... Core2Duo T9300 2.5GHZ ... Ubuntu 64bit ....
[10:01] <FireCrotch> srv: or better yet, forward it to the eth0 interface
[10:01] <srv> FireCrotch: how can i do it?
[10:01] <zetheroo> indus: I believe I have enough resources :)
[10:02] <indus> yea
[10:02] <indus> try chrome
[10:02] <indus> its nice and light
[10:02] <abhi_nav> hello
[10:02] <brjann> srv: may i ask why you want to do prevent ssh from using a specific interface? there might be an easier way to accomplish your goal
[10:02] <zetheroo> indus; thing is that I see it using about 200MB of RAM with a dozen tabs open ... which means there is heaps more RAM left to play with ... but it start greying out here and there and the whole system starts slowing down ... even the mouse is jerky
[10:03] <abhi_nav> testing quassel

[10:04] <srv> brjann: my wlan0 network is outside the firewall
[10:04] <tehbaut> what will it take for ubuntu 10.4 to get hfs+ formatting capabilities in gparted by default?
[10:04] <tehbaut> gparted live cd has support
[10:04] <bazhang> tehbaut, lucid?
[10:04] <solow> my sound on firefox stopped working. anyone know why?
[10:04] <tehbaut> bazhang: yeah
[10:05] <brjann> srv: so you want to prevent ssh attempts from your machine to other machines on your internal network?
[10:05] <bazhang> tehbaut, please take lucid questions to #ubuntu+1
[10:05] <tehbaut> ok
[10:05] <abhi_nav> hello
[10:07] <solow> like, youtube stopped making sound, but my mp3's still work
[10:07] <srv> brjann: my wlan0 network is a separate network which i want to use for browsing, eth0 for accessing my servers
[10:07] <srv> locally
[10:07] <srv> how can i use iptables to do this - help me
[10:07] <FireCrotch> srv: then just use the local address of the server. it'll be routed properly automatically
[10:08] <mr-grey> everything such a challenge to work proper lol unreal.
[10:08] <srv> FireCrotch: it doesnt work
[10:08] <srv> ssh hangs and tries to use wlan0
[10:09] <brjann> srv: are you perhaps using an ip block on your internal network that's actually routeable?
[10:09] <srv> how can i know
[10:09] <anubhav> are UTF8 charset names supported ?
[10:09] <brjann> srv: what IP addresses are you using on the network connecting to eth0?
[10:10] <anubhav>  s/names/usernames
[10:10] <mr-grey> I'm assuming my sound drivers are installed ok because I have sound in ubuntu and the music players but when I play a game it goes all out of whack, really staticy and cuts out. any tips on figuring that out?
[10:10] <brjann> srv: (also, how do you know it's trying to use wlan0 when it hangs?)
[10:10] <_zippo_> exit
[10:11] <FireCrotch> srv: you might need to add a route to the routing table for the other local network.  route -add 192.168.2.0/24 eth0
[10:11] <FireCrotch> er... without the - before add
[10:12] <mr-grey> also when i run rythumbox and play a game at the same time it completly shuts my sound down and I gotta swap settings in the volume menu on your panel
[10:12] <mr-grey> to get it going again
[10:12] <solow> I want sound :(
[10:13] <HangukMiguk> any conky gurus in here? i've been having trouble with conky displaying ttf fonts: it only displays one, any others, it defaults to Sans.
[10:15] <srv> what is 192.168.2.0/24?
[10:15] <FireCrotch> srv: My apologies, I forgot to mention that you need to change 192.168.2.0 to the IP subnet that your eth0 network is using
[10:15] <srv> FireCrotch: i know, i replaced it with my ip lol
[10:16] <srv> hence i asked why 24?
[10:16] <srv> actually, i meant that
[10:16] <solow> I just checked out sound preferences and it said with applications, firefox, mute. But I unmuted it, and still have no sound. question #1: How did it get muted? I never did that. #2: WHERE IS MY SOUND :(
[10:16] <FireCrotch> It shouldn't be your machine's IP, you want the network's address. so if your IP is 192.168.1.100 then you want to use 192.168.1.0
[10:17] <srv> No, i am asking about /24
[10:17] <FireCrotch> srv: the /24 specifies that the first 24 bits of the IP are the network portion of the IP
[10:17] <mementomori> srv, /24 is the netmask bit
[10:17] <FireCrotch> it's equivalent to the subnet mask being 255.255.255.0
[10:17] <srv> when i do that i get route: netmask 000000ff doesn't make sense with host route
[10:18] <mementomori> srv, what's you network problem?
[10:18] <mementomori> srv, what's your network problem?
[10:19] <srv> when i give "route add 192.168.13.0/24" i get route: netmask 000000ff doesn't make sense with host route
[10:20] <mementomori> srv, paste somewhere the ifconfig and route commands' outputs
[10:20] <srv> FireCrotch: mementomori: i guess it has worked
[10:20] <srv> i did a "route add 192.168.13.0 eth0" and it worked
[10:20] <FireCrotch> :)
[10:20] <mementomori> oh, yes... you was missing the interface... ;)
[10:21] <srv> does it mean "Use eth0 for all addressed in 192.168.13.0 network
[10:21] <srv> correct?
[10:21] <mementomori> no
[10:21] <srv> what does it mean then
[10:21] <FireCrotch> yep, that's what it mean
[10:21] <mementomori> you just added a new route
[10:21] <srv> can you explain
[10:21] <mementomori> you should add a new default gateway for having what you asked for
[10:22] <srv> mementomori: what should i do now and how
[10:22] <srv> sorry for being so stupid
[10:23] <FireCrotch> srv: you're now able to ssh to your servers, correct?
[10:23] <srv> yes i am right now
[10:23] <mementomori> so dont do any changes
[10:24] <srv> but tell me this default gateway thing?
[10:24] <mementomori> maybe I'm getting a bit confused...
[10:24] <srv> what does it mean
[10:24] <mementomori> srv, the default gateway is the default route your packets will be sent to
[10:24] <FireCrotch> srv: you'll want that route to be added every time the eth0 interface is brought up, so you'll need to add something to /etc/network/interfaces also
[10:25] <mementomori> srv, the default gateway is the default host  your packets will be sent to
[10:25] <srv> okay got it
[10:25] <srv> since i have 2 interfaces, i want to send packets to the other one as well, i dont want default gateway
[10:25] <mementomori> srv,  sure
[10:25] <srv> okay guys, i got what i want - thank you
[10:26] <mementomori> sorry for my bad answers...
[10:26] <srv> mementomori: i love you ;-)
[10:26] <abhi_nav> can i play songs (any format) from command prompt? e.g. playing songs from ubuntu server etc (not gui)
[10:26] <FireCrotch> srv: in your /etc/network/interfaces file, for the eth0 interface, you'll want to add this: post-up <the route command from before>
[10:26] <mementomori> lol ;)
[10:26] <srv> FireCrotch: you were talking about doing this "port" wise correct?
[10:27] <FireCrotch> srv: I had mentioned doing it per port, but this is the proper way to do it
[10:27] <srv> okay
[10:27] <abhi_nav> hmm
[10:27] <FireCrotch> I wasn't thinking when I said to forward the port
[10:28] <ddavids> pls i plug my ethernet cable from my modem to my karmic emachine laptop and does not even display auto etho but it does when i connect it to my karmic desktop... what does this mean?
[10:28] <HangukMiguk> can anyone help me with this problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8919419
[10:28] <abhi_nav> what is emachine?

[10:29] <Paulo39> hi, i'm using Chromium on Ubuntu karmic and i'm not able to see videos on youtube, but i can do it without any problems on firefox
[10:30] <ddavids> abhi_nav: its an acer laptop
[10:30] <darolu> abhi_nav: I like "links" (text web browser), for audio I usually use mplayer (command line)
[10:30] <darolu> abhi_nav: other text web browsers are elinks and lynx
[10:30] <abhi_nav> darolu: can you tell me how to install and how to use it?
[10:30] <abhi_nav> darolu: which one is the bset?
[10:31] <star> hallo all
[10:31] <zetheroo> how do I boot into a previous kernel?
[10:31] <star> wonder if anyone can help
[10:31] <darolu> abhi_nav: sudo apt-get install links mplayer elinks lynx
[10:31] <Paulo39> and i think it's not about flash, because i can see videos on vimeo.com, for example. Actually, i think this starts to happen when i switch to the new theme/look of youtube
[10:31] <star> installed ubuntu studio
[10:31] <abhi_nav> darolu: ok
[10:31] <Guest65162> since then my gnome panel is not smooth :/
[10:31] <Guest65162> it just looks weird all my gtk apps :(
[10:31] <HangukMiguk> Paulo39: You mean the HTML5 version?
[10:31] <darolu> abhi_nav: there's no "best" program, I like links more, but others like lynx the best as it has 'pretty colours' :P
[10:31] <HangukMiguk> aka the beta one?
[10:32] <RootRat> Hi guys Top of the day to you .. Problem .. Installed Adobe flash player with deb package manager ... Says its installed but will not work .. help !
[10:32] <Paulo39> HangukMiguk: hum.. i dont now, its a new template from youtube website
[10:33] <Paulo39> it's possible that tey are using html5 and chromium doenst have support for that yet?
[10:33] <abhi_nav> darolu when using ubuntu server how to switch from irssi to command prompt without closing irssi? actually I want to run irssi, links(or other) and mplayer (or other) simultaneously
[10:33] <FireCrotch> RootRat: Have you restarted your browser?
[10:33] <Paulo39> abhi_nav: you can use screen
[10:33] <darolu> abhi_nav: a VERY popular audio player for the command line is mp3blaster, but I haven't used it that much
[10:33] <RootRat> Firecrotch yes sir /mame
[10:33] <HangukMiguk> Paulo39: I think the HTML5 player doesn't have support in Linux yet.  I know it doesn't in Firefox yet, but it might not in Chrome yet either.
[10:34] <FireCrotch> RootRat: What browser are you using?
[10:34] <abhi_nav> Paulo39: what is screen? is it any apps?
[10:34] <darolu> abhi_nav: with Ctrl+Alt+Z  you send apps to the background
[10:34] <Paulo39> hum.. but in firefox i am totally able to see the videos
[10:34] <abhi_nav> darolu: ok but i wll install that also. thnx
[10:34] <dehqan> when login page comes up , mouse and keyboard does not work , how to fix it ?
[10:34] <RootRat> FireCrotch  I am using firefox
[10:34] <darolu> abhi_nav: with $ jobs you see what apps you have running
[10:35] <abhi_nav> darolu: $job ?
[10:35] <abhi_nav> darolu: its not working
[10:35] <abhi_nav> Paulo39: what is screen? is it any apps?
[10:35] <Paulo39> http://www.rackaid.com/resources/linux-screen-tutorial-and-how-to/
[10:36] <darolu> abhi_nav: jobs with an S
[10:36] <Paulo39> screen is a program that lets you to have multiple apps/processes running from the same terminal
[10:36] <abhi_nav> Paulo39: thnx :)
[10:36] <Paulo39> and you can switch between them without to have to stop each one when you wanto to switch
[10:36] <abhi_nav> darolu: ???? can you give me the actual command? jobs s is not working too
[10:36] <mtx_init> Paulo39: you dont need screen to do that, you do need screen to multiplex them for your viewing.
[10:36] <abhi_nav> Paulo39: hmm ok
[10:36] <Paulo39> it's really  useful
[10:37] <darolu> uhmmm "jobs" is the actual command to list what you have running in the background :S
[10:37] <ddavids> mtx_init: how do u mean - multiplex?
[10:37] <Paulo39> mtx_init: if i want to run, for example, irssi and finch, its very useful to have screen and i can switch between them easily
[10:37] <HangukMiguk> Paulo39: looks like chrome works with HTML5 player.  I'm really not sure...
[10:37] <mtx_init> Paulo39: yes, but you dont need it.
[10:38] <abhi_nav> darolu: it just executes that jobs command but not showing any results??   :(
[10:38] <Paulo39> mtx_init: how would you do that?
[10:38] <mtx_init> ddavids: if you dont use screen and put programs to the background, they can still print to the forground.  screen works as a multiplexer for tty's.
[10:38] <mtx_init> Paulo39: just run each as a backround process.
[10:39] <Paulo39> mtx_init: it's possible, but is not useful
[10:39] <abhi_nav> mtx_init: can you please tell me teh keyboard shortcut for tihs? i am new
[10:39] <abhi_nav> yah i am using screen also
[10:39] <mtx_init> screen is great
[10:39] <mtx_init> one of the best tools out there
[10:39] <abhi_nav> no but you tell me that other process naa?
[10:39] <piojunbabia> what is screen?
[10:39] <darolu> abhi_nav: if you haven't sent anything to the background with "Ctrl + Z" it won't show anything :p
[10:39] <abhi_nav> !screen
[10:40] <dad_> hi

[10:49] <FireCrotch> tehbaut: I think that might just be a limitation of their setup tool
[10:49] <meowbuntu> !mac
[10:49] <FireCrotch> tehbaut: you should just be able to create the casper-rw partition using fdisk
[10:49] <tehbaut> FireCrotch: ok, any idea what the command is for that?
[10:50] <roba0665> greets all, I have a Ipex laptop (rebadged asus A3000N) that wont run up Ubuntu 9.10, I can get the liveCD to run okay tho using apic = off noapic nolapic  .. Strangely the latest debian runs okay...

[10:53] <kl0x> Hi
[10:53] <kl0x> I've got a problem guys
[10:53] <FireCrotch> tehbaut: then type n to make a new partition, then p to make it a primary, then 2 to make it partition 2
[10:54] <stronze> how do i upgrade from 9.04 yo 9.10 without the network? i downloaded the ISO and also burned to DVD-R
[10:54] <kl0x> dunno what to do, actually don't even know the problem's source
[10:54] <FireCrotch> tehbaut: then accept the defaults for the starting and ending partition, then w to write the changes to the disk
[10:54] <kl0x> stronze, which ISO?
[10:54] <kl0x> strauze, you need alternate i think
[10:54] <dehqan> what does "rF" mean in statue of package ?
[10:54] <tehbaut> FireCrotch: hmmm, couldn't I just do this in gparted? ;)
[10:54] <stronze> k10x - how do i get alternate?
[10:55] <anarki> hi all :)
[10:55] <tehbaut> FireCrotch: (I have to make room for a second partition anyway)
[10:55] <roba0665> stronze: check your favourite local mirror
[10:55] <FireCrotch> tehbaut: oh, yeah, definitely. just make sure it's ext2 and the label is casper-rw
[10:55] <tehbaut> ah, that's it?
[10:55] <kl0x> stronze, i guess from the same server you took the live one
[10:55] <FireCrotch> tehbaut: yep
[10:55] <stronze> roba0665 k10x - i downloaded via bit torrent from ubuntu.com
[10:56] <tehbaut> FireCrotch: sweet, so can I take all the free space, or does ubuntu need just a tiny amount to run?
[10:56] <kian>  How I can open archives folder and increase packages! it does not allow me normally?
[10:56] <tehbaut> I assume it loads everything into memory, so no need to leave anything
[10:57] <sledge> i cant figure out how to join multiple servers, or multiple channels
[10:57] <FireCrotch> tehbaut: well, everything I've seen says to make the main partition 750MB
[10:57] <kl0x> stronze, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate
[10:57] <sledge> randomnick
[10:57] <wzhya> heh
[10:58] <tehbaut> FireCrotch: cool, that's fine... I'll leave 750MB then

[11:11] <abhi_nav> red: hmm can i delete if in 9.04, then wll it help me ?
[11:12] <tehbaut> does the casper-rw file usually just store updates/new installs? or?
[11:13] <abhi_nav> ok
[11:13] <roba0665> kl0x: you havent plugged it it?? :)
[11:14] <kl0x> roba0665, haha, yeah I've got it plugged in xd
[11:14] <kl0x> roba0665, but it stoppped working after I used Windows (first time this year and since 2008))
[11:15] <roba0665> kl0x: ahh Its been near windows, you need to reboot your keyboard.. seriously I have no idea...
[11:16] <kl0x> roba0665, Me neither, in my session it won't work, but in this one I'm now it works perfectly. I guess it's something in starting apps
[11:16] <xguru> can someone help me with this? http://www.pastebin.org/101642
[11:16] <roba0665> question: if Ubuntu is based on Debian, why b\can I get deb to run on my laptop but not ubuntu?
[11:16] <tehbaut> FireCrotch: if still around, the casper-rw file is supposed to hold data such as passwords, new packages, etc... right?
[11:16] <roba0665> err canT
[11:17] <FireCrotch> tehbaut: yep
[11:17] <roba0665> question: if Ubuntu is based on Debian, why can I get deb to run on my laptop but not ubuntu?
[11:17] <tehbaut> FireCrotch: I'm about to test it with my wifi key
[11:17] <FireCrotch> roba0665: because Ubuntu changes things :)
[11:17] <tehbaut> rebootin'
[11:18] <FireCrotch> roba0665: what seems to be the problem with Ubuntu on your laptop?
[11:18] <tehbaut> FireCrotch: what about files saved to the desktop?
[11:18] <kl0x> Ok I'll try to fix it by myself as I'm being ignored here!! hahaha, c ya guys
[11:18] <SpaceGhostC2C> roba0665, possibly because ubuntu is debian based, but debian isn't ubuntu. Check the system req's for each and see the difference, if there is none, check supported hardwares on both.
[11:18] <FireCrotch> tehbaut: those should be saved as well
[11:18] <roba0665> fire: Im not sure exactly, I feel its video related, can install minimal fine...
[11:18] <tehbaut> FireCrotch: and if they're too big, are they just skipped?
[11:18] <wzhya> exit
[11:19] <FireCrotch> tehbaut: That I couldn't tell you
[11:19] <roba0665> fire: Ubuntu just locks up, no response, mouse pointer still moves but even the onscreen clock is frozen...
[11:19] <roba0665> deb doesnt have same issue at all...
[11:19] <Hellhound666> I have what may be a simple question...
[11:19] <FireCrotch> roba0665: video card is?
[11:19] <tehbaut> FireCrotch: mkay, guess I'll find out
[11:19] <Hellhound666> How do I move filenames with different extentions to a directory
[11:19] <roba0665> fire: good question, (and Im at work at present not at home) default Asus A3000N laptop
[11:20] <Hellhound666> like mmv -v "*.tgz*" /directory but multiple file extentions
[11:20] <Hellhound666> without writing a shell script
[11:20] <zak_> waht command shall i use to extract audio from a .pps file ?
[11:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> Hellhound666, try mv -v *.{tgz,tar.gz,tar,gz}
[11:21] <jolaren> How do I get source??? bash: /lib/modules/2.6.31-19-generic/source: No such file or directory
[11:21] <Hellhound666> SpaceGhostC2C:  thanks I'll give it a try
[11:21] <roba0665> fire: I tried ubuntu and xubuntu, same issue...
[11:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> roba0665, did you look at the supported hardware pages on both Debian and Ubuntu's sites?
[11:22] <tehbaut> FireCrotch: sweet, wifi persisted.. cool! thanks! ;)
[11:22] <roba0665> spaceghost: no
[11:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> jolaren, sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.31
[11:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> roba0665, try that, make sure it's even supported in ubuntu.
[11:23] <SpaceGhostC2C> roba0665, also check general requrements for both.
[11:23] <FireCrotch> tehbaut: you're welcome :)
[11:23] <FireCrotch> roba0665: I think it's just a driver problem
[11:23] <roba0665> spaceghost: the Ipex Companion 59Z (which this unit is) appears in old supported pages for Ubuntu 6...
[11:24] <tehbaut> any idea if the casper-rw file is written to frequently, or only during shutdown?
[11:24] <SpaceGhostC2C> roba0665, it might not be supported for newer versions, I suggest you actually look. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/
[11:24] <jolaren> SpaceGhostC2C, I didn't get the .19 source that downloaded the .20 source tho
[11:25] <FireCrotch> tehbaut: I think it's written to when it needs to be written to, which is why you're supposed to use ext2 for it
[11:25] <arand_> tehbaut: I would assume more frequently than that, since otherwise the memory would run out fairly quickly.
[11:25] <janbauke> hello
[11:25] <tehbaut> gotcha, that should keep crashes from loosing data I hope
[11:25] <janbauke> Hallo
[11:25] <SpaceGhostC2C> !hi | janbauke
[11:26] <janbauke> how are you
[11:26] <tehbaut> well, I hope it doesn't crash period, but you get the idea ;)
[11:26] <FireCrotch> tehbaut: ext2 doesn't have all the journaling data that ext3 does, so it shouldn't wear your drive out (I assume that's what you're worried about)
[11:26] <SpaceGhostC2C> janbauke, do you have a question?
[11:26] <janbauke> about what
[11:26] <zak_> waht command shall i use to extract audio from a .pps file ?
[11:26] <SpaceGhostC2C> janbauke, read the topic of the channel.
[11:27] <Hellhound666> SpaceGhostC2C:  Hey thanks a lot that worked out great!
[11:27] <FireCrotch> zak_: what's a .pps file? file extensions have no meaning in the linux world :)
[11:27] <SpaceGhostC2C> Hellhound666, anytime friend. Let us know if you need more help.
[11:27] <zak_> FireCrotch: that is a powerpoint file , just need to extract audio fro m it
[11:27] <SpaceGhostC2C> FireCrotch, it's a presentation file. Like powerpoint
[11:28] <dehqan> how to get list of half-configured packages ?
[11:29] <roba0665> thanks all outta here...
[11:30] <FireCrotch> zak_: a page I found says to open powerpoint, file->open the pps file, and then do Save As webpage
[11:31] <FireCrotch> zak_: not sure if OpenOffice presenter can do that
[11:31] <zak_> yeah :/
[11:32] <tehbaut> how can I profile my system (or at least get the cpu details)?
[11:32] <dubey_> clear
[11:33] <rww> tehbaut: "cat /proc/cpu" in the terminal will show you more than you want to know about your CPU.
[11:33] <dubey_> GNOME PPP is frequently asking for username/password, but all information i provided is correct
[11:34] <padski> tehbaut, and top might get you started with profiling
[11:34] <rww> tehbaut: sorry, cpuinfo, not cpu
[11:34] <kl0x> Sniff,,, if stills doesn't work
[11:34] <mihir> i have installed Ghostview for pdf view but i can´t find in application menu
[11:34] <zak_> FireCrotch: waht i need is to extract the audio in that powerpoint  presention in an mp3 format , donnow if that is possible though
[11:35] <tehbaut> rww: brilliant, just what I needed, thanks
[11:35] <FireCrotch> zak_: did you try the save as webpage thing in openoffice?
[11:35] <tehbaut> padski: top isn't really what I was after, and I know about it for process monitoring (maybe it does more that I don't know about though)
[11:36] <zak_> FireCrotch: gonnan try it right now was trying with some mplayer commands
[11:36] <FireCrotch> zak_: or can you play the presentation w/ the sound in linux at all?
[11:36] <Croe> Peki Zeki Mürende bizi Görecek mi?
[11:36] <jolaren> apt-get install linux-source-2.6.31 downloads the kernel source but it doesnt place it in /lib/modules/2.6.31-20-generic/source ........ where does the kernel source go and how can i move it to that location??
[11:37] <popey> jolaren: you probably want 'apt-get source linux-image-blah'
[11:37] <Chikka^> o0o0o0olaaaa!!!!
[11:37] <zak_> FireCrotch: i can do taht : but i need to extract the song to be able to play it in my  mp3 player
[11:37] <Chikka^> jeje
[11:37] <FireCrotch> zak_: if you can get the sound to play when playing the presentation, you can just record from that
[11:37] <mihir> hello friends
[11:37] <zak_> FireCrotch: record from that?
[11:37] <FireCrotch> just have the recording input be the output device
[11:37] <zak_> humm
[11:38] <jolaren> popey, E: Kunde inte hitta paketet linux-image-2.6.31 ( could not find the package )
[11:38] <padski> tehbaut, you want to run benchmarks ?
[11:38] <mihir> i have installed Ghostview for pdf view but i can´t find it in application menu can you tell me where it is installed
[11:38] <jolaren> popey, sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.31 doesn't find package
[11:38] <indietrash> anyone in here know what volume manager #! uses?
[11:38] <arand_> jolaren: add "-generic" by the end
[11:39] <tehbaut> padski: sure, why not?
[11:39] <jolaren> arand, still can't find any packages
[11:39] <tehbaut> sounds like a good time
[11:39] <popey> jolaren: apt-get source linux-image-`uname -r`
[11:39] <miraiw> mihir: by default most terminal aps won't be in gnome's menu
[11:39] <popey> jolaren: it will download and unpack to the current directory
[11:40] <anto> hola
[11:40] <zak_> FireCrotch: can't save it in webpage , the presentation starts in a full screen , how can i use the menu ?if i use esc it quits:/
[11:40] <anto> q tal
[11:40] <anto> q tal
[11:41] <FireCrotch> zak_: it does that even if you open  openoffice first, then do file->open ?
[11:41] <arand_> !es | anto
[11:41] <FireCrotch> zak_: OpenOffice might not be able to do it
[11:41] <mihir> how to see how many hardware drivers are not properly installed
[11:41] <zak_> FireCrotch: tried that too; but same old sh***t:/
[11:42] <anto> hello
[11:42] <anto> q tal
[11:42] <FireCrotch> zak_: well it looks like the other solution is your best bet. did you understand what I meant? I understand it, but its late so I'm probably explaining it horribly.
[11:42] <FireCrotch> zak_: and I don't know exactly how to do it
[11:42] <SpaceGhostC2C> zak_, obfuscated swearing is still swearing.
[11:42] <zak_> :)me too :)
[11:43] <zak_> waht is the official room for opensoffice
[11:43] <mihir> how to see how many hardwares are not properly installed
[11:44] <PingFloyd> mihir: device manager
[11:44] <PingFloyd> oops wrong channel
[11:44] <arand_> jolaren: So what are you trying to do? (I arrived late to the discussion..)
[11:44] <mihir> where is device manager
[11:44] <PingFloyd> mihir: there isn't one, I thought you were talking about windows
[11:45] <PingFloyd> mihir: if it works, it is properly installed
[11:45] <FireCrotch> zak_: You can use audacity to do the recording, from what I remember from the *one* time I had to do something like this.  The openoffice channel is #openoffice  I think
[11:45] <mihir> in ubuntu
[11:45] <PingFloyd> mihir: you can see which modules are loaded, but that is only a part of the bigger picture
[11:45] <zak_> FireCrotch: okay man :) thanks for the help :)
[11:45] <PingFloyd> mihir: in ubuntu just try using the device and see if there is any errors in your logs
[11:46] <FireCrotch> zak_: you're welcome :)
[11:46] <FireCrotch> mihir: there is no equivalent of the Windows Device Manager in Ubuntu.  Is there something in particular that you'd like to do in Ubuntu that you would typically do in the Device Manager in Windows?
[11:47] <FireCrotch> mihir: If so, we can point you in the right direction
[11:47] <wao> well, oh hai, can someone help me with acpid-2.0.2 ?
[11:47] <wao> acpid: skipping conf file /root/acpi/power.conf
[11:48] <wao> why it's skipping event.conf?
[11:48] <PingFloyd> mihir: main think is it comes down if some device isn't behavior or operating right, it's a matter of figuring out why.  In theory, as long as the kernel supports a device, it should just work for the most part.
[11:48] <mihir> i have broadcom wireless controller and ubuntu doesn´t have driver how install driver for that
[11:49] <PingFloyd> mihir: did you first try "hardware devices"
[11:49] <PingFloyd> mihir: under the menus in gnome
[11:49] <zvacet> ! wifi | mihir
[11:49] <Zus> is there a NVidia  channel?
[11:51] <jolaren> popey, arand i've done that but it stills complains ( apt-get source linux-image-`uname -r` )
[11:51] <popey> jolaren: do you have the source box ticked in system -> admin -> software sources?
[11:52] <soreau> Zus: #nvidia
[11:52] <jolaren> popey, the source was downloaded but this happends..
[11:53] <pnet> hi
[11:53] <jolaren> popey, ./config_dvb.pl "BUILD_DIR=/lib/modules/2.6.31-20-generic/build" "EXTRA_CFLAGS=-Idrivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/ -I/home/joel/sasc-ng/trunk/dvbloopback/module"

[11:53] <Zus> soreau,  thanks
[11:53] <ian__> gm explanation required about the CLSID numbers ,new to this game thanks
[11:54] <tvw> How can I show me the status of the firewall (like in ufw status verbose) when the firewall ist still disabled.
[11:54] <tvw> ufw status verbose only tells me, that the fw is disabled, but not which rules are set, when I enable the fw.
[11:55] <tvw> so, how do I know, that I will not lock out myself, before enabling the fw?
[11:56] <mihir> what is the image file extention in ubuntu like jpg in windows
[11:57] <alankila> mihir: heh, why wouldn't it be just jpg?
[11:57] <abhi_nav> i think image file extenstions are os independent
[11:57] <Atari_bot> .png maybe
[11:57] <richfearless> whats up peeps
[11:57] <mihir> while saving backgroung image from internet it shows default .htm extention
[11:57] <karin_> Hey I have som update-grub problems, anyone know where to ask? Specficially it sets my root to the wrong UUID.
[11:58] <abhi_nav> mihir: right click on image and click on save image or save image as
[11:58] <SpaceGhostC2C> !ask | karin_
[11:58] <richfearless> im having a bit of trouble, i would like to browse to a project on a Windows machine - but i cant find the location anywhere in the dialogue window that appears (its in Netbeans)
[11:58] <karin_> SpaceGhostC2C, ?
[11:58] <alankila> mihir: I think you're doing it wrong. The .htm extension is probably for html file, so it saved the html document, not the image, most likely.
[11:58] <jolaren> popey, arand i rly dno how n what to do now
[11:58] <karin_> SpaceGhostC2C, Read the question.
[11:58] <SpaceGhostC2C> karin_, just state the question.
[11:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> karin_, you don't need to preface it.
[11:59] <alankila> karin_: is the wrong uuid in /etc/fstab?
[11:59] <Zus> any one have an idea as to why after downloading from the nvida site the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.25-pkg1.run driver when i click or open in terminal i get in gedit something about  character encoding not being detected and in terminal comand not found??
[11:59] <mihir> ok i changed jpg and its done thanks
[11:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> karin_, so it sets your root incorrectly?
[11:59] <InvaderZim> Where do I find a changelog for ubuntu kernel image updates?
[11:59] <JonathanEllis> I am running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Yesterday Ubuntu downloaded updates including a kernel update. Grub update asked to replace menu.lst so I clicked on what seemed the most sensible option (replace with package maintainers version). Now Ubuntu wont boot. Grub comes up with Error 11: Unrecognized device string. Now this happened last time I had a kernel update and I fixed it by replacing the uuid entries with /dev/sdxy entries but I think this should
[11:59] <karin_> alankila, Yeah it was the first time.. And then I changd it to the correct one..
[11:59] <karin_> though I have three installations so it might be picking up the wrong one..
[11:59] <alankila> karin_: have you tried running update-grub since? It ought to notice the uuid from fstab and update.
[12:00] <abhi_nav> mihir: ???
[12:00] <karin_> alankila, Will try some more I may have missed something.
[12:00] <alankila> karin_: oh, that sounds a bit messy.
[12:00] <hekin> question, I've got a Broadcom 4353 wireless interface, how could I get it up and running on Karmic? I've done googling  a lot, not helpful
[12:00] <hekin> i've already installed bcmwl-kernel-source
[12:00] <richfearless> how do i find a windows network location in the dialogue window that pops up?
[12:01] <hekin> any idea?
[12:02] <arand_> jolaren: Sorry got to go.

[12:06] <JonathanEllis> Anyone know where I can find an example of grub's menu.lst as generated by Ubuntu 8.04 using UUIDs with explanations of what all the default options in the Automagic kernels list mean. Everything I find refers to partitions by hd or /dev/sd notation. I am trying to debug my menu.lst and getting nowhere fast. I stated the entire problem in my earlier post but nobody responded so I guess I am on my own
[12:06] <richfearless> ok
[12:06] <padski> garymc, there are also various programs that will analyse the logs for you
[12:06] <wejick> !patience > wejick
[12:07] <padski> garymc, webalizer comes to mind as an example
[12:07] <garymc> hmm ok
[12:07] <ian__> quit
[12:07] <padski> garymc, yes access.log is the main one
[12:08] <garymc> ok thanks. Is webalizer for linux or windows etc or is it installed on the server itself?
[12:08] <mihir> while installing software my laptop switched off due to electricity problem when i restart it and select ubuntu only blank screen appears what to do in that case
[12:10] <wejick> how much amount of RAM which minimal lucid system use?
[12:10] <benchen70> Hi, I am just wondering. The moderators for this chat room, how exactly do you guys arrange yourselves, eg, in shifts, to answer questions, etc, ??
[12:11] <mihir> while installing software my laptop switched off due to electricity problem when i restart it and select ubuntu only blank screen appears what to do in that case
[12:12] <garymc> Ok anyone help me install webalizer and to run it?
[12:12] <benchen70> mihir, you are installing right? not finished?
[12:12] <mihir> yes
[12:12] <JonathanEllis> benchen70: Its not just moderators who answer questions but anyone who knows the answer.
[12:13] <mihir> it was wireless controller driver
[12:13] <benchen70> jonathonellis, thank you, true enough.
[12:13] <meowbuntu> benchen70, thtas the beauty of linux. everyone can pool knowledge to get help
[12:13] <mycomp> mihir:reinstall ubuntu
[12:13] <JonathanEllis> benchen70: So I have no idea if moderators are organised at all. They are all volunteers I think so they are here when they can be
[12:13] <soreau> garymc: It seems webalizer is in ubuntu repos.
[12:13] <meowbuntu> !pool
[12:14] <mihir> then what is the purpose of recovery mode
[12:14] <garymc> ok what do i need to do? apt-get install webalizer?

[12:15] <Sensiva> kian use sudo in terminal
[12:15] <padski> garymc, it is packaged in ubuntu universe, see http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/webalizer  and http://freshmeat.net/search?q=webalizer&submit=Search and debtags also suggests modlogan.  there are many other such programs but the names escape me.
[12:15] <maidai> Kian : go to terminal and type sudo chmod 777 /bar/cache/apt/archives
[12:15] <maidai> kian : *var
[12:16]  * maidai huggles FloodBot3
[12:16] <benchen70> To anyone who can answer this question: I am going to sound a bit dumb here, but I have rarely used IRC. So are the list of users on the right hand side of the browser - is this all of the people in the ubuntu channel??
[12:16] <maidai> yes
[12:16] <padski> garymc, but see http://www.google.com/search?q=apache+log+analyser if you are interested (awstats is one I could think of)
[12:16]  * maidai nods
[12:16] <soreau> benchen70: Probably. 1370 here now
[12:16] <JonathanEllis> After a kernel upgrade why does my grub menu.lst stop working?Every entry on the menu produces grub error 11: Unrecognised device string. I notice the entries have been changed from /dev/sda6 to UUIDs. But why should that make it stop working?
[12:16] <mihir> what to write in terminal for shut down the computer
[12:16] <wejick> kian, use pres [alt]+[f2] and type "gksudo nautilus" then give your passwd there. now you can copy to that direktori
[12:17] <tommis> benchen70, yep
[12:17] <soreau> mihir: shutdown -h now
[12:17] <mycomp> or halt
[12:17] <mycomp> as superuser
[12:17] <mihir> ok
[12:17] <padski> garymc, personally I have often used grep and sed
[12:17]  * maidai fades away *again*
[12:18]  * maidai doesn't know to spell Ubntu
[12:20] <padski> garymc, awstats claims to have good recognition of robots, see http://awstats.sourceforge.net/docs/awstats_compare.html
[12:20] <kian> wejick, thank you! it works ;)
[12:21] <wejick> kian, u're wellcome
[12:22] <Tecnoman> hi guys i install ubuntu remix in my acer aspire one but i have problems with 3 things , microphone , i can read any sd card and the mp4 videos run very slow.
[12:23] <mihir> how to increase the size of ubuntu partition and decrease windows partition
[12:23] <richfearless> can someone help me quick? i wish to load a smb:// source folder as a project, but i cant find the location in my filesystem disk?
[12:23] <tuntun> Just found a sad flaw: the screen keyboard cant be used to type a password, because it gets faded out with everything else.
[12:23] <Tharok> Hello there. I'm having a weird problem. Using Ubuntu 9.10 I sometimes have my desktops visual effects deactivated when booting up, sometimes its set to normal as intended but sometimes it jumps out to "none". I can activate it again manually with no problem, but its very anoying that it jumps out like that. I'm using a HP Pavilion DV6 laptop with Intel T6600 Dual core CPU and ATI Mobility Radeon 4650.
[12:23] <wejick> mihir, you can do it when you install ubuntu from live cd
[12:24] <Tharok> I have installed the latest ATI drivers from atis homepage
[12:24] <mihir> after installation is it possible
[12:24] <mihir> like partition magic in windows
[12:24] <padski> mihir, gparted
[12:25] <maidai> mihir : Install gparted . Its in Ubuntu Software center
[12:25] <mihir> what is the partition type in ubuntu like ntfs and fat in windows
[12:25] <maidai> mihir : ext4
[12:25] <maidai> mihir : gparted supports ntfs and fat I think
[12:26] <wejick> is it possible to resize ext4 partition from gparted?
[12:26] <Myrtti> mihir: you can't resize ubuntu system partition if you're using it. you need the live cd to resize the system partition. it also depends on the method you installed with, did you use Wubi or did you do a proper installation?
[12:26] <padski> I've done live resize on ext3
[12:26] <padski> does that not work on ext4 ?!?
[12:26] <wejick> mihir, maidai : google result for "resize ntfs linux" answer your question
[12:27] <pradeep> hi
[12:27] <padski> sorry 'online resize'
[12:27] <maidai> wejick : I think it is . But if you want to resize your Ubuntu system when you are using it you need to do it with the Live CD
[12:27] <mihir> i used Wubi for installation
[12:27] <Gangrel> can someone help me install dragon age origins with wine???? cause i cannot find any proper instructions
[12:27] <wejick> maidai, sure
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  and 'wine installername.exe' dosent work? or what have you done exactly?
[12:28] <maidai> Mihir : Don't go for gparted . It will create a mess as you installed it with wubi ( ie Windows as a host )
[12:28] <mathk> hi does anyone know how to make pam_usb authentication working when you have an encrypt home?
[12:28] <Myrtti> mihir: then you can't resize. the pseudofile that contains the filesystem for your ubuntu is located inside your windows partition, and you can't make it bigger by any method.
[12:28] <ManDay> the xscreensaver daemon doesnt start automatically WHY NOT?
[12:28] <ManDay> shouldnt it?
[12:29] <Gangrel> Dr_Willis, while it is starting to install in crashes on some files
[12:29] <ManDay> or at least be listed in the autostart programs?
[12:29] <maidai> wejick : And also as a volunteer here :) , you are not supposed to ask people to just Google or so . <
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  and you did check teh wine app database for that specific game?
[12:29] <noob2k> hi all :D
[12:29] <benchen70> i am back
[12:29] <benchen70> interrupted by pplz
[12:29] <wejick> mihir, you can make another disk image, and copy the content of older disk image to new one
[12:30] <Gangrel> Dr_Willis, yes i did ... cannot seem to find proper installing instructions
[12:30] <maidai> noob2k : hello :) :) :)
[12:30] <mihir> how to take backup my data incase ubuntu corrupts
[12:30] <wejick> maidai, ya but it answer thousand question ;)
[12:30] <benchen70> maidai, you are right. we are all here to help. Google can't be helping ;)
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  check the wine forums  see if anyone else is trying it.
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  thers also #winehq channel I think
[12:31] <Gangrel> #winehq
[12:31] <Stargaze> mihir, you can use 'quickstart army knife' (search it with google)
[12:31] <maidai> wejick : But It doesn't satisfy the customers < people in need of help here >
[12:31] <dehqan> where to get list of necessary packages that should be installed at least to have ubuntu works fine
[12:31] <nhak> what is the programm of Alt-F2 ?
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  thers a ubuntu-minimal setup i recall.. but your question isent very clear.
[12:31] <Stargaze> dehqan, just standard installation makes ubuntu work fine
[12:32] <NET||abuse> hey guys. I have a C-Media Electronics usb headset (headphones + mic) if i reduce the system volume below about 30% all audio cuts out on the headhpones, even though it's still quite loud at 31% +
[12:32] <wejick> maidai, okey
[12:32] <NET||abuse> anyone else had this issue?
[12:32] <mihir> how to take backup my data incase ubuntu corrupts
[12:32] <maidai> nhak : Running commands ........
[12:32] <Stargaze> nhak, alt-f2 make yolu execute programs
[12:32] <wejick> nhak, "run" in my lxde
[12:32]  * maidai loves Google Chrome
[12:32] <maidai> Its awesome
[12:33] <nhak> i know the use of alt-f2, just want to know how it works
[12:33] <Stargaze> maidai, try Iron, it's more secure
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> !info grun
[12:33] <benchen70> I am too used to firefox....not changing
[12:33] <wejick> nhak, i think it is like execute command in shell
[12:33] <JonathanEllis> How do I check which version of grub I have? I cant find a command. I dont think its grub 2. Its the version installed by Ubuntu 8.04
[12:33] <karin_> alankila, SpaceGhostC2C : So linux-boot-prober which is run by update-grub will include the grub.cfg from the other partitions. So I had to run update grub on those partitions, and then on the main one. :-) .
[12:33] <Crimius> nhak: the same as if you went to a terminal, typed in the name, and hit enter
[12:33] <maidai> Stargaze : I am too confused to tell whether that was a sarcasm
[12:33] <nhak> just a small application using bash right ?
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> nhak:  its a gnome command/app i imagine. not a 'bash' script
[12:34] <mathk>  I got an error when I try to authenticate with pam-usb
[12:34] <Stargaze> maidai, it was not, but Chrome records your surf behaviour, Iron does not
[12:34] <padski> !tell mihir about backup
[12:34] <wejick> JonathanEllis, grub --version
[12:34] <mathk> I think it s because I have my home encrypt
[12:34] <madsj> what do I have to put my touchpad to sleep for good ? "synclient TouchPadOff=1" does not work in gnome, but no problem under openbox
[12:34] <maidai>  works in all environments
[12:35] <mathk> it complain that I can't reach the .ICEautheticate file
[12:35] <wejick> !tell mihir about backup
[12:35] <wejick> !tell wejick about backup
[12:35] <hallo_leute> http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3629610&id=266453492661
[12:35] <nhak> what is the diefference when i start e.g. eclipse using the icon in menu or typing eclipse in my terminal ?
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> nhak:  very little differances
[12:35] <nhak> they do not do the same thing right
[12:35] <iceroot> nhak: on cli, stderr and stdout are printed to the cli
[12:36] <alankila> nhak: why wouldn't they do the same thing?
[12:36] <pmg0421> can some one walk me through http://wiki.debian.org/X-Fi  page. ihave no sound aand I need to fix it>I'm pretty sure i ahve the right page.I just have no clue really about cli and need some questions answered
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> nhak:  icon launches whatever its set to launch.. should be the same if they run the same command
[12:36] <alankila> in general both should result in the execution of /usr/bin/eclipse
[12:36] <iceroot> nhak: also the icon is maybe not calling eclipse directly but a wrapper which is setting some options like path and so on
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> pmg0421:  there may be some more UBUNTu specific wiki/forums on that card. Debian is not exactly Ubuntu
[12:37] <maidai> Startgaze : *Iron ain't yummy*
[12:37] <Crimius> o_0
[12:37] <pmg0421> Dr wills I've been looking all over for days thats my best lead lol
[12:37] <maidai> (*_*)
[12:37] <Stargaze> maidai, it looks the same as Chrome (Chromium, to be precise)
[12:37] <nhak> ah ok but in terminal the enviroment variables are also set, so may be the program can "see" those variables
[12:38] <nhak> but a program started by launching icons may be not
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> pmg0421:  no idea - i gave up on Creative cards aftger the x-fi disaster. So havent ever tried one.  I imagine theres some mention of them in the ubuntu forums. Ive seen questions about them in here. but never tried one
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> nhak: depends on the variables. :)
[12:38] <benchen70> alright, this is a totally ubuntu unrelated question. but anyone know how to make a 12 year old girl eat spinach?
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> benchen70:  in a salad. Dont cook it.
[12:39] <wejick> hel all. do you need deepfreeze like software for your linux box? try sisrestore.googlecode.com
[12:39] <padski> benchen70, yeah, put it in something else.  pizza.
[12:39] <maidai> Stargaze : Why are we talking about metals especially in such an unlikely environment
[12:39] <benchen70> Padski, Spinach with Pizza?? interesting.
[12:39] <maidai> yummy
[12:39] <nhak> Dr_Willis, so the program started by launching the icon can not surely see the variables ?
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> Quiche :)
[12:40] <Wizz> Do you know Turkish?
[12:40] <Croe> Wizz
[12:40] <maidai> @_@
[12:40] <Stargaze> maidai, the browser is called Iron, it is a kind of Chromium clone
[12:40] <benchen70> Dr. Willis, thou art pure genius....didn't think of that!!!!
[12:40] <padski> benchen70, they sell them in lidl, I never would have thought of it.
[12:40] <Myrtti> !offtopic
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> nhak:  depends on how/what is being launched.. you launch a terminal with icons.. it runs specific scripts.. if a launcher wanted to it can also spawn a bash shell and see whatever variables.. it should also see any allready exported variables.
[12:40] <maidai> Stargaze : lol
[12:46] <phretor> benchen70: the laptop becomes unresponsive, but the installer ejects the CD if I press the power button.
[12:47] <zzz4> Hi guys. I was wondering if there was a system integrity check for Ubuntu. I have reason to suspect some of the binaries might be modified on one of the boxes I work with.
[12:47] <Croe> can you help me?!
[12:47] <padski> AdvoWork, boot on the live cd
[12:47] <benchen70> phretor: thanks for that additional detail. I think you might have to take it up wih the bug team. Anyone else have any ideas?
[12:48] <zzz4> uhh
[12:48] <benchen70> phretor: i'm still thinking what could cause it....can I ask what stage it goes bonkers?
[12:48] <comicinker> zzz4: md5sum -R /bin /usr/bin > MD5SUMS; md5sums -c MD5SUMS
[12:48] <Alanxd> xd
[12:48] <Alanxd> ola
[12:49] <phretor> benchen70: bonkers?
[12:49] <Alanxd> ay alguien k no sea giri
[12:49] <Guest85524> hwo can i find what is filling my hdd
[12:49] <ManDay> Stargaze, see, the daemon isnt listed there
[12:49] <guest_89> alankila: stiill the driver reports that x is running
[12:49] <Alanxd> k te den
[12:49] <zzz4> comicinker: eh, nifty shell script, but I still need a list of the common md5sus for these packages. is it shown somewhere?
[12:49] <Stargaze> !es | Alanxd
[12:49] <Guest85524> im runing mythbuntu and all recoding go to  lvm
[12:50] <Guest85524> but / is full
[12:50] <Guest85524> and its 15 gig
[12:50] <AdvoWork> phretor, cant see it on any of them :S
[12:50] <benchen70> phretor: sorry, haha, coloquilaism creeps up on me...i mean where does the issue start occuring? What line or what stage does it stall?
[12:50] <AdvoWork> padski, i havent bought it yet...
[12:50] <comicinker> zzz4: I don't know
[12:51] <phretor> benchen70: right after the time zone choice. However, if I let it run without intervention, it will freeze eventually.
[12:51] <zzz4> comicinker: actually, now that I've tried it, -R isn't a supported switch for that.
[12:51] <Sensiva> Guest85524 Disk Usage Analyizer in Accessories menu
[12:51] <comicinker> zzz4: yeah, it was a guess. you don't  need it for recursive checks
[12:51] <comicinker> I think
[12:52] <nomad111> does anyone know how to make youtube vids go fullscreen on my primary screen
[12:52] <nomad111> on a dual screen setup
[12:52] <padski> AdvoWork, you could ask the manufacturer.  There are docs covering known ubuntu hardware compatibility but I couldn't turn up anything firm on that specific model. you could look at the same question in a broader linux context ...
[12:52] <benchen70> Phretor: I am assuming you have tried to copy another CD, just to check if the CD is the problem, or that you have checked the physical integrity of the CD, no scratches, etc....
[12:53] <simion314> i installed firefox and flash in wine but firefox can't use flash, maybe i have to force it to see it , anyone knows?
[12:53] <phretor> benchen70: well, I will do it right now but it really sounds like a software bug.
[12:53] <viliny> simion314, why not use native firefox? curious
[12:53] <dehaani> what
[12:53] <benchen70> Phretor: Most likely you are right, but just want to be sure.....
[12:54] <simion314> viliny: there are some flash games that work only in windows
[12:54] <pnookie> Weird stuff happened when I upgraded to KK :(
[12:54] <comicinker> nomad111: you could use compiz and desktop zoom
[12:54] <viliny> simion314, that sounds weird... flash is flash, no?
[12:54] <simion314> viliny: is a bug in the games or in flash
[12:54] <abhi_nav> !details | pnookie
[12:55] <pnookie> my trackpad no longer works, and iwconfig is no longer seeing my wifi adapter
[12:55] <pnookie> and since I only have wifi where I am now, is making it difficult to troubleshoot heh
[12:55] <nomad111> comicinker: believe i have in the past
[12:55] <padski> AdvoWork, cannonical have a list of certified compatible hardware at http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/
[12:55] <nomad111> i prefer to fix the problem
[12:55] <Stargaze> pnookie, is it internal or usb?
[12:55] <pnookie> should I just say 'screwit' and reinstall?
[12:55] <pnookie> internal.
[12:55] <tolpico> when running live disc of ubuntu, where are the files saved (files installed from synaptic)?
[12:55] <simion314> viliny: yes flash is flash, buggy like hell, and new version brakes old stuff
[12:55] <pnookie> inspiron 1525.
[12:55] <viliny> simion314, alright, didn't know flash had problems like that between osses
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> 'flash has problems' :)
[12:56] <pnookie> 'flash breaks the internet'
[12:56] <pnookie> ;)
[12:56] <schurro> flash is a problem lol!
[12:56] <pnookie> ftfy ;)
[12:56] <simion314> viliny: other alternative is to install flash 9 but that is complicated too,and it has known problems with linux and video
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> 'flash gave my dog the mange'

[12:56] <abhi_nav> tolpico: files from cd loaded into ram
[12:57] <vianocturna85> i have sda1(ext4 backup partition) and next to it sda6(ext4 / )...now i wanna merge them both, how do i do it?
[12:57] <benchen70> Phretor: Had a look around myself, at least no one has yet asked your question for version 10.4
[12:57] <gary_maurizi> Can anyone please help me, Iḿ trying too set up bind too resolve my local hostname maurizi.lan, this should be uber-simple, wt*! all associated files for bind + resolv.conf, hosts, hostname is here included is nslookup & dig results:http://pastebin.com/2Pci7Xht please help!
[12:57] <comicinker> nomad111: then go to adobe and fix flash by destroying it
[12:57] <phretor> benchen70: someone has for 9.10
[12:58] <benchen70> PHretor: huh? where is it? couldn't see it. I must be missing it.... could you post the link? Sorry....
[12:58] <pnookie> yeah, I'm just going to download the cd and blow that partition out like a pornstars bunghole. No use trying to put a fried egg back in the shell.
[12:58] <phretor> benchen70: http://google.com/search?q=ubuntu+9.10+install+freezes
[12:59] <vianocturna85> anyone able to help me with merging partitions?
[12:59] <Pirate_Hunter> if I decide to add extra hard disk to my system is it possible to merge the current LVM partition so instead it uses a partition on both disks?
[12:59] <benchen70> Phretor: thanks. Reading....
[12:59] <Pirate_Hunter> vianocturna85, what do you mean merge combine two partitions on separate disk drives or the same?
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> lvm's can span differnt disks? Ive never noticed  or tried.
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> !lvm
[13:00] <gary_maurizi> Ive set my ISP as fowarders in bind9, set my local IP in resolv.conf, & there are absolutely no mistakes in my zone file! why is dig/nslookup telling me that my local nameserver wont find the zone its hosting!? http://pastebin.com/2Pci7Xht
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> I thought raids could.. and you could put a lvm on a raid.. (or am i missing a step?)
[13:00] <vianocturna85> on same drive...got ext4 sda1...next to it ext4 sda6...now sda6 has ubuntu on it...i wanna merge the two
[13:00] <Tecnoman> hi guys i install ubuntu remix in my acer aspire one but i have problems with 3 things , microphone , i can read any sd card and the mp4 videos run very slow.
[13:01] <benchen70> Phretor: just wondering, are yu urgently needing this machine to work? cos if you are, maybe you  might think about other options to make it work for now......
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> vianocturna85:  you may have to do some resizeing/copying data over. and resizeing again. if one is on a primary partition, and the other is on a extended/logical partitiobn
[13:01] <phretor> benchen70: no, I don't but I want to run ubuntu on it.
[13:01] <Pirate_Hunter> Dr_Willis, thanks been wanting an easy tut on how to spam on different disks specially while on live partitions
[13:01] <dehaani> brillo pads, like shredded wheat for robots
[13:02] <dehaani> not very tasty for humans
[13:02] <vianocturna85> Dr_Willis: So i have to move ALL my data from sda6 to sda1?!
[13:02] <cyberbluntz> gmorning all
[13:02] <Hellhound666> Hi all I have a few questions that are probably easily answered...
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> Pirate_Hunter:  i gave up on raids and that fancy stuff ages ago. :) I just use 'redundant stacks of exteranl usb hard drives' for mass storage of my Junk  -
[13:02] <Hellhound666> gmorning cyberbluntz
[13:02] <Pirate_Hunter> vianocturna85, just like Dr_Willis  stated just use gparted
[13:02] <abhi_nav> What should I do to become Linux Guru (serious question)
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> vianocturna85:  Not sure. I recall there being issues with  primary next to a extended(logical) resizing.
[13:03] <cyberbluntz> learn every distro
[13:03] <vianocturna85> ah crap
[13:03] <gary_maurizi> anyone? this is some kind of ubuntu specific weirdness that i really cant debug on my own...
[13:03] <abhi_nav> every? more than 200?
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> vianocturna85:  Odd that sda6 is next to sda1   normally it would be a sda5
[13:03] <benchen70> Phretor: OK, Sorry, do you mind posting up your entire problem again to the chatroom, for the public? I am just wondering if some new entrant to the chatroom could answer this at all.
[13:03] <cyberbluntz> or how can you be a guru?
[13:03] <comicinker> abhi_nav: install gentoo && debian on your phone
[13:03] <Hellhound666> ok here it goes... a way to create multiple directores [#,a-z] without shell scripting, password protection and encryption on single folders.
[13:03] <Pirate_Hunter> Dr_Willis, that doesn't work for servers I am trying to avoid shutting down the server for too long and yet have long term solution for space
[13:03] <abhi_nav> ohh
[13:03] <bazhang> !ot | cyberbluntz dehaani
[13:03] <abhi_nav> comicinker: OK
[13:03] <cyberbluntz> 1st yiu have to master ubuntu
[13:03] <benchen70> Phretor; Sorry, still reading thru the post
[13:04] <abhi_nav> cyberbluntz: i am trying ubuntu stuffs
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> Hellhound666:  given those limitations... proberly not
[13:04] <Pirate_Hunter> abhi_nav, just read a lot on linuc, bash command, scripts, python, the internal working of *nix etc
[13:04] <cyberbluntz> well i got ban from ot
[13:04] <comicinker> abhi_nav: or better:on your washing machinev :)
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> Hellhound666:  or else yse some unbeliveably complex single command with lots of ;; and && and merge a lot of commands together.
[13:04] <Pirate_Hunter> comicinker, suicide :'S
[13:04] <bazhang> cyberbluntz, that is not an excuse to be offtopic here
[13:04] <vianocturna85> thats because i had lots of different ones in between but deleted them and merged...but its a different story since sda6 is to the right, at least i think so
[13:04] <phretor> [repeated as suggested] booting problem with 9.10/10.04: the installer makes my laptop to become unresponsive - it's an old ASUS M3000N yet 9.04 runs fine on it. Hints?
[13:04] <dehaani> my robot runs ubuntu and likes brillo pads
[13:04] <abhi_nav> Pirate_Hunter  comicinker: hmmm thnx
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> Hellhound666:  but thats worse then a simple script. :)
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> phretor:  try the alt-installer cd
[13:05] <Absolute0> How can I get fglrx to work with my new radeon card?
[13:05] <enrico74> can you tell me italian support,please?
[13:05] <Absolute0> radeon hd 5570?
[13:05] <bazhang> enrico74, #ubuntu-it
[13:05] <abcd1> is there a way to recover files that has been shift + deleted?
[13:05] <Absolute0> the forums arent very helpful
[13:05] <cyberbluntz> Ok, I have a question, how do I get my update manager to stop erroring? I do partial upgrade and it stops on preparing, every day
[13:06] <enrico74> thank you
[13:06] <phretor> Dr_Willis: is it available for 10.04?
[13:06] <Absolute0> I tried installing ubuntu 8.04 but that wont even boot
[13:06] <abhi_nav> cyberbluntz: configure dpkg (as you said trng to master ubuntu)
[13:06] <tehbaut> when dd'ing a partition from one, to another, does bs really make much of difference?
[13:06] <cyberbluntz> and why do people still use gutsy and feisty?
[13:06] <soreau> Absolute0: Does fglrx support your card yet? If so, you will likely want the latest driver from the amd website
[13:06] <bazhang> phretor, lucid in #ubuntu+1 please
[13:06] <Hellhound666> yeah I know but hey thanks though.  I'll see what I can come up with.
[13:06] <abhi_nav> !details | Absolute0
[13:06] <Pirate_Hunter> vianocturna85, easy solution gparted it shouldn't matter just back up your data just encase even knowing I have not had any problems except for one occasion and it was absolutely my fault for deleting the partition
[13:07] <gburton> hello
[13:07] <gary_maurizi> can anyone please help me figure out why bind9 wont serve the zone/zone file I have in /etc/bind/zones? pretty please? a copy of every related file & my dig/nslookup results is here: http://pastebin.com/2Pci7Xht
[13:07] <cyberbluntz> also, why cant I connect to our fedora via SSH / puTTy at school?
[13:07] <abhi_nav> Absolute0: yes, cyberbluntz is right (I think) why dont you try 9.04 or 9.10?
[13:07] <Absolute0> ubottu: I have ubuntu 9.10 with radeon hd 5570, the open source driver doesnt let me go to my optimal resolution
[13:07] <dehaani> ubuntu 10.04 alpha 3 installer completely wiped my hard drive without instructing it to do anything with the partitions
[13:07] <gburton> ive got a very strange problem in bash: My A key doesnt work.
[13:07] <bazhang> cyberbluntz, what does that have to with Ubuntu?
[13:07] <gburton> every other key works in bash, and every key works in every application except bash.
[13:07] <vianocturna85> alright, so im guessing its a case of using gparted on live cd?
[13:07] <cyberbluntz> because it works fine in windows and not in ubuntu?
[13:08] <gburton> tcsh is fine.
[13:08] <AlienDK> ubottu is a bot
[13:08] <cyberbluntz> I cant get any connections through ubuntu at school
[13:08] <Absolute0> cyberbluntz: because the latest xorg is not compatible with fglrx :)
[13:08] <Pirate_Hunter> cyberbluntz, port 22 being blocked the firewall on the host is blocking you, there are many reasons
[13:08] <abhi_nav> !10.04
[13:08] <cyberbluntz> no, i connect to port 22 in windows putty
[13:08] <abhi_nav> dehaani: read above msg
[13:08] <cyberbluntz> but since it is a linux class I would like to use linux
[13:08] <dehaani> so strict, it was just a comment
[13:09] <dehaani> I don't want to go debating it or anything
[13:09] <abhi_nav> dehaani: ok
[13:09] <AlienDK> yes, they are very strict >.>
[13:09] <Pirate_Hunter> vianocturna85, gparted livecd dont use it inside ubuntu since it also has a package called gparted or used to
[13:09] <gburton> has anybody seen an issue where one particular key fails to work in one particular application, but there are no other key related problems? I'm baffled as to the possible cause.
[13:09] <aouldr78> what is the command to know  my system?
[13:09] <gburton> uname -a
[13:10] <vianocturna85> well the only reason i say is because i cant merge like this since sda6 is mounted now
[13:10] <comicinker> aouldr78: cat /etc/lsb_release
[13:10] <indus> ubottu

[13:10] <Pirate_Hunter> vianocturna85, who si helping you sorry could you use the person nick with your response
[13:10] <gary_maurizi> is there a better place too ask bind related questions?
[13:11] <benchen70> Phretor:  sorry, still reading
[13:11] <abhi_nav> AlienDK :)
[13:11] <aouldr78> thank you all
[13:11] <benchen70> Oh, Phretor has left??? geez didn't know

[13:11] <fsck_> hi there
[13:11] <vianocturna85> Pirate_hunter: Sorry, thats because a few people helped lol, but from now on ill use nick
[13:12] <Pirate_Hunter> vianocturna85, you can use more than one nick on the same line so all receive it
[13:12] <gburton> version: 9.04. problem: its simple really. the A key doesnt work in bash. every other key works in bash. Every key works in every other application.
[13:12] <n8w> im usin xine for playin net streams, but its bein played in a browser windows, i wanna make xine to play it in its window.how do i do that?
[13:12] <vianocturna85> Pirate_Hunter: As you can see, im an absolute noob on this
[13:12] <abhi_nav> hi fsck_
[13:13] <Pirate_Hunter> vianocturna85, no worries you'll get the hang of it
[13:13] <vianocturna85> Pirate_Hunter: Most things on Ubuntu i can do, the OS is past basics, but things ya dont use often are obviously a bit getting used to
[13:13] <SuN__> !grub2
[13:14] <cyberbluntz> well then, I guess my next question would be to ask how to emulate a windows connection through ubuntu? I dont really want to go through the trouble of changining all my iso's to fat for a VM, is there another possible solution?
[13:14] <Pirate_Hunter> Haven't really messed with raid much if njot at all, if I start with a Raid0 can I update to a raid5/6 afterwards without too much complication and without losing data?
[13:15] <Zus> can someone  please help me out? im trying to install my  Geforce FX 5200 card...
[13:15] <Zus> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=478986 i thought this would  fix me... but  when i type anything  i get command not found...only thing that works is "reboot" and  of course, im back to square one
[13:15] <abhi_nav> cyberbluntz: repeat ur prob in my pm. let me think
[13:15] <benchen70> cyberbluntz: did you want to have windows running on top of the linux? is that what you mean? I mean a virtual machine like VMWare would be what you need if that was your request.....?
[13:15] <Pirate_Hunter> vianocturna85, ok its understandable just sue gparted livecd and you should have any problems remember to back up your system

[13:18] <topi`> hi, I encountered a strange snag in newest ubuntu x86 release. It seems that if the user selects "disable wireless" from the upper right tasklet, then it cannot be re-enabled again. nor is it possible from "network settings"
[13:18] <topi`> is this a known bug?
[13:18] <Ariana> Hola?
[13:18] <SuN__> !recovery
[13:19] <meowbunt1> any ideas on my cpu problem
[13:19] <noob2k> Ariana hola
[13:20] <benchen70> Hellhound666: Hi, you just said to DrWillis you found those scripts. Could you share those? thank you very much in advance, if you are k with that!!!
[13:20] <dnivra> topi`, I am not sure but if it has to show "wireless disabled", it means your wireless card is not on and you have to specifically switch the interface(card) on using some keyboard combination.
[13:20] <Hellhound666> meowbunt1:  maybe the program doesn't make good use of the CPU stack

[13:23] <jiohdi> ontani follow it with apt-get -f install
[13:23] <Guest85524> if I decide to add extra hard disk to my system is it possible to merge the current LVM partition so instead it uses a partition on both disks?
[13:23] <Guest85524> yes it is possible
[13:23] <Guest85524> and easy to do

[13:27] <gnaruag> hi
[13:27] <gnaruag> i want
[13:27] <gnaruag> i want to install texlive
[13:27] <gnaruag> i installed it
[13:27] <abhi_nav> what is texlive
[13:27] <abhi_nav> !texlive
[13:27] <Solar_Flare> abhi_nav: It's a tex distribution.
[13:28] <Solar_Flare> like word but much more soffisticated.
[13:28] <abhi_nav> Solar_Flare: ?? tex distro? what is tex?
[13:28] <benchen70> off to bed, See you all pplz!!
[13:28] <Solar_Flare> abhi_nav: To write papers and stuff. Like word, but in a much more soffisticated way.
[13:28] <gnaruag> @solar_flare : have u used texlive
[13:28] <gnaruag> ?
[13:28] <abhi_nav> Solar_Flare: is it FOSS?
[13:28] <jcrawford> anyone?
[13:28] <mrg82> I've just reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10 on an intel motherboard DG45ID. The PC is connected to my HD tv via HDMI. Video is working perfectly. But the sound only appears for a second when pressing the volume keys on my TV remote. Would this most likely be a hardware conflict?
[13:29] <gnaruag> @abhi : yes
[13:29] <Solar_Flare> gnaruag: of course. If you study, there is no better way to do stuff than with texlive.
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> TeX is a typesetting tool.
[13:29] <SpaceGhostC2C> !info texlive > abhi_nav
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> I used teX ages ago. :) it was impressive in what it could do.
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> !tex
[13:29] <Solar_Flare> Dr_Willis: Although I prefere LaTeX to write my stuff.
[13:29] <abcd1> once u write in tex or latex, u wont use word again.. i promise u.. :);)
[13:30] <gnaruag> yeah true
[13:30] <gnaruag> but i need help
[13:30] <abhi_nav> thnx Dr_Willis
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> I used TeX/laTex years ago when everyone else was using like Word 1.0 :)  and couldent get to the pc lab.. I could do my work on a serial terminal and it looked better
[13:30] <gnaruag> i installed complete package of texlive
[13:30] <abcd1> use the winefish latex editor at start
[13:30] <gnaruag> through the snyptic package installer
[13:30] <Solar_Flare> gnaruag: or texmaker
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> This was befor there even was gui tex exitors. :)
[13:31] <gnaruag> now cannot find way to run it
[13:31] <abcd1> ya.. or through the terminal
[13:31] <dnivra> gnaruag, please ask you query in one line else it becomes difficult to understand what is your problem.
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> gnaruag: time to read some TeX tutorials perhaps? You basically write the document. then compile it with TeX to a dvi file you then print. I recall
[13:31] <abcd1> ya.. dr.willis
[13:31] <abcd1> pdflatex is the command ;)
[13:31] <jcrawford> I am trying to pair my Jabra Halo headset, anyone that could help me with getting this done via the command line? anyone?
[13:31] <gnaruag> I saw a IDE
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> ive not used enough of the gui TeX/LaTeX editors to even  say how they work.
[13:32] <Solar_Flare> TexMaker is pretty good.
[13:32] <abcd1> ya.. now u need to read some tex manuals to start with
[13:32] <abcd1> or look for a latex example from web
[13:32] <gnaruag> @abcd1 - i am doing that
[13:32] <abcd1> copy paste it here.. n compile using f1
[13:32] <meowbuntu> y is my cpu peaking i only have a terminal with irssi running
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> jcrawford:  last i tried to get a Bluetooth Headset working.. it dident work  :(  theres aparently some work needed in that area of Linux. :(
[13:33] <abcd1> f1 compiles to dvi file
[13:33] <Solar_Flare> gnaruag: German or English?
[13:33] <meowbuntu> meowbuntu: ah
[13:33] <abcd1> n a pdf is ready in the directory
[13:33] <abcd1> from terminal use pdflatex to compile if u run in terminall
[13:33] <jcrawford> Dr_Willis, :( thanks for the tip
[13:34] <JanC> meowbuntu: (h)top should be able to show you what process is using your CPU (or the similar GNOME/KDE tools)
[13:34] <Solar_Flare> abcd1: Texmaker lets you compile directly to pdf via one click ^^
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> jcrawford:  yep. there was some audio-codec/method/thinggie that the headsets needed that i never could get working right.
[13:34] <abcd1> ya.. but i asked him to try with winefish
[13:34] <abcd1> he is a newbee.. :)
[13:35] <Solar_Flare> well... i dont really like winefish... Texmaker seems to be easier to use.
[13:35] <abcd1> true..
[13:35] <ddavids_> pls how do u open a link in a new tab when browsing wt lynx?
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> lynx has tabs?
[13:35] <gnaruag> @Solar_flare: Is Texlive itself a IDE ?
[13:35] <throughnothing> ddavids_, lynx doesnt have tabs, but elinks does
[13:35] <Solar_Flare> gnaruag: No.
[13:36] <Solar_Flare> gnaruag: It's just the packages which you need to do the real stuff.
[13:36] <Solar_Flare> !texmaker
[13:37] <maikel> can i connect a channel from swiftkit?
[13:37] <ddavids_> throughnothing: thanks, how do i do it on elinks?

[13:37] <indus> how to get screensaver similar to mac in linux
[13:37] <indus> mac has a news screensaver
[13:37] <gnaruag> I am using Xchat , & i open 6 channels every time , so is there any way to automate all this
[13:38] <meowbuntu> Andy-at-home: ubuntu 9.04 ????
[13:38] <ddavids_> throughnothing: thanks...
[13:38] <indus> gnaruag, sure, just right click and auto join on start up
[13:38] <SpaceGhostC2C> Andy-at-home, webmin isn't a good answer anymore. I'd just use some good ssh and logics.
[13:38] <throughnothing> gnaruag, u can right click on each channel and click "auto join"
[13:38] <dole> how to reactivate the grub menu after a windows instalation?
[13:38] <Andy-at-home> so it says, really old version?
[13:38] <grundling82> hi there,  i just downloaded the install disc for karmic koala, but the only option that "works" in the boot menu is "boot from first hard disk" -- all other options cause the cd to spin up, and then nothing - no error or any other kind of message. not even "check disc for errors" accomplishes anything.
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> indus:  ive not noticd any  for linux. I Think i saw a similer thing that used firefox ages via a plugin ago. But not looked into it in ages
[13:38] <Ontani> seemed to be proxy problems
[13:38] <indus> ya this is too bad
[13:38] <Kriss_Hietala> Hi All I have problem with wine and graphic resolution
[13:38] <Solar_Flare> dole: boot into ubuntu and in terminal update-grub
[13:39] <Andy-at-home> SpaceGhostC2C, im aware of ssh but what is logics?
[13:39] <mrkim> Please help if you can. Runnin 9.10 (386) w/ nVidia 185 drivers & installed a kernel update this morning, rebooted as instructed. Machine reboots->username screen ->password sreen then the ubuntu logo and progress bar vanish leaving only the login screen background on the screen.  Worked with 2 folks here this morning and did verify that my video settings are Ok.  I'm on my second machine which I have also already taken the same upda
[13:39] <indus> we cant have those 3d screensavers like in windows?
[13:39] <Solar_Flare> then everything should be allright
[13:39] <throughnothing> ddavids_, http://edulinux.homeunix.org/elinks/ for more info
[13:39] <Andy-at-home> whats wrong with Ubuntu 9.04?
[13:39] <SpaceGhostC2C> Andy-at-home, it's the part where you think clearly.
[13:39] <grundling82> should i re-download the KK iso and waste another cd?
[13:39] <SpaceGhostC2C> Andy-at-home, nothing, they're just bleeding edge people.
[13:39] <Andy-at-home> ah k
[13:39] <dole> how can i boot into ubuntu without the grub?
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> indus:  there are 3d screensavers in the gnome screensavers and xscreensavers packages
[13:39] <BezNalogov> As the calendarserver package is broken in 9.10 and I don't like davical, are there any other caldav servers that I can use on ubuntu 9.10?
[13:39] <grundling82> or is there a known issue with the KK boot disc?
[13:39] <meowbuntu> grundling82: first thing did you test the .iso file after downloading it with a checksum
[13:39] <Solar_Flare> dole: use live cd?
[13:40] <SpaceGhostC2C> Andy-at-home, you know you can use ssh to forward X, right? Just send a single application, but it's sorta slow.
[13:40] <indus> Dr_Willis, nah not those crappy ones, like the ones with animal life etc you see those ads everywhere
[13:40] <Solar_Flare> dole: Out there on google are thousands of tutorials how to reinstlal grub loader or repair it. just google it.
[13:40] <dole> oke, i have a live cd....how to boot into ubuntu?
[13:40] <Andy-at-home> yeah ive read a bit on that
[13:40] <grundling82> hmm no i didn't let me do that googlin for an md5 chksum program for windows
[13:40] <meowbuntu> grundling82: also from teh cd boot choose teh option check disk for errors
[13:40] <Andy-at-home> im really just wanting a GUI, VNC the best for that?
[13:40] <Solar_Flare> dole: boot onto live cd
[13:41] <SpaceGhostC2C> Andy-at-home, it won't be fast, but sure.
[13:41] <Kriss_Hietala> http://www.dreiviertelkunst.de/index.php?page=ubuntu-on-my-laptop I had 6 displays and somehow managed to fix it and install 195 drivers, but Now I have 6 displays when I run games fullscreen through wine and dunno how to fix that
[13:41] <uglygorilla> hi, i'm a beginner.
[13:41] <SpaceGhostC2C> Andy-at-home, I'd use ssh with vnc, for good encryption, but whatever.
[13:41] <meowbuntu> grundling82: if the .iso has a bad checksum its no good. if the cd has not coppyed properly or made from a bad .iso then it will also be no good
[13:41] <Solar_Flare> Andy-at-home: I think you can tunnel X-Sessions via ssh
[13:41] <grundling82> meowbuntu: i already said, that option does absolutely nothing
[13:41] <grundling82> it pauses for a few seconds, and then returns me to the menu
[13:41] <Andy-at-home> SpaceGhostC2C, thanks
[13:42] <JonathanEllis> Why does Ubuntu 8.04 not boot after a kernel upgrade? I get grub error 11: Unrecognised device string. I understand I am using grub 0.97. All the menu.lst entries have been changed from (hd0,5) and /dev/sda6 to UUIDs. Dont UUIDs work properly on Ubuntus grub 0.97. I asked in #grub but they only support grub 2 and they said this is an Ubuntu specific patch of grub legacy
[13:42] <SpaceGhostC2C> Andy-at-home, for sure. When you get it, if you have problems, let me know.
[13:42] <meowbuntu> meowbuntu: ah
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> Andy-at-home:  vnc gives you a full desktop. but it can be slow.
[13:42] <grundling82> where is the checksum listed I can't find it on the download page?
[13:42] <Andy-at-home> ill try it out and see if its usable
[13:42] <SpaceGhostC2C> grundling82, for what?
[13:43] <Solar_Flare> Andy-at-home: VNC is nice, but I would use it over the net. There the lag is much to high to work with a tunneled desktop. but in local lan it works pretty well.
[13:43] <grundling82> bah, the link is buried in the how-to
[13:43] <grundling82> lame

[13:44] <fsck_> and then start
[13:44] <k0d3g3ar> ne1 know of a free, open source alternative to something like GoToAssist that doesn't require special ports to be opened (like VNC does)?
[13:44] <Andy-at-home> one last thing if anyone can help, on the setup page for the VPS purchase it asks for a server hostname (name.yourserver.com) I take it thats for internal purposes and can be set to anything?
[13:44] <bright> i vaguely remember a command like alsa -Dhw
[13:44] <bright> can someone confirm
[13:44] <gnaruag> thanks , but right click doesn't show any option of auto - connect ..
[13:45] <aalice> ok
[13:45] <SpaceGhostC2C> !u > k0d3g3ar

[13:46] <aalice> fsck: i heard i can debug code.. getting segmentation fault
[13:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> Andy-at-home, like if you wanted to connect using it, or use the VPS for anything like a website or whatever.
[13:47] <erUSUL> !debug | aalice
[13:47] <Andy-at-home> none of my domains are pointing to it so i should just leave it blank?
[13:47]  * Andy-at-home thinks hes in for a big jump
[13:47] <Solar_Flare> Andy-at-home: Just give it a name.
[13:47] <aalice> what is !debug | filename
[13:47] <Andy-at-home> cool
[13:47] <Solar_Flare> If I am not mistaken, its just for internal DNS.
[13:48] <erUSUL> aalice: it is a command for the channels bot is  « !factoid | nick »
[13:48] <Solar_Flare> My router has a name ^^ I dont need to type 10.0.0.1, but "tomato"
[13:48] <erUSUL> !bot | aalice
[13:48] <Stargaze> for server questions, there's also #ubuntu-server
[13:48] <aalice> will try :)
[13:49] <Andy-at-home> Press 1 for Ubuntu under Xen or 2 for Ubuntu under OpenVZ

[13:52] <Solar_Flare> aalice: Segmentation Fault? Search for pointers that go crazy
[13:52] <paulilla> ahy alguien que hable español aki???
[13:52] <aalice> solar: how?
[13:52] <Solar_Flare> aalice: Look at sourcecode, get good debugger, search for pointer that violates.
[13:52] <erUSUL> paulilla: aqui no tienes que ir a #ubuntu-es  Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter.
[13:53] <aalice> solar: how to use gdb?
[13:53] <Solar_Flare> aalice: Read tutorial?
[13:53] <aalice> solar:little bit
[13:53] <aalice> solar: from where to start?

[13:53] <aalice> solar: cool.. where to start in code?
[13:53] <aTsgR> hey i have a question; I am using ubuntu 9.04 and I have aproblem with one of my printers. I've installed it over network and I can't print from a specific tray no matter what I do to the driver configuration (to be exact it uses always tray one instead of tray two)
[13:54] <aTsgR> any ideas why this is happening?
[13:54] <aTsgR> the printer in question is HP LaserJet 4050N
[13:54] <Solar_Flare> aalice: Either you provide sauce or we cant really help. You have a "dangling" pointer that violates the memory. Search for it. I have no idea what your code looks like, that means, I cant really debug it with you.
[13:55] <Moat> I got a file I can't open, it said it's a 002 document (application/x-extension-002) file, any ideas how to work it?
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> Moat:  what is it supposed to be?
[13:55] <Moat> a vid
[13:55] <Solar_Flare> aalice: What you look for is a 1:1 tutorial "How to debug my program xyz with gdb" and that noone can provide.
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> Moat:  Rename it to somting.avi perhaps.. or just drag/drop onto a video player
[13:55] <Moat> it's wti.zip.002
[13:56] <ddavids> throughnothing: i still dont knw how to open a link in a new tab, wld u mind explaining it?
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> Moat:  well NOTICE the .zip ? perhaps you need to unzip it?
[13:56] <indus> how to get screensaver similar to mac in linux
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> Moat:  it could be part of a Multi-part zip archive also
[13:56] <indus> how to get screensaver similar to mac in linux
[13:56] <Solar_Flare> indus: please dont spam...
[13:56] <DJones> Moat: I find that .002 files are normally part of a multipart rar set with filename.rar & filename.001 as part of it
[13:56] <PrestonConnors> wti.zip.002 sounds like it is apart of a multi-part zip file.
[13:56] <indus> !spam
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> who even uses Mulipart zips any more? :)
[13:57] <Moat> DJones what do i do then?
[13:57] <indus> Solar_Flare, do you know the answer
[13:57] <BobSapp> Does anyone know if there is an open office chat room?
[13:57] <Solar_Flare> -.-
[13:57] <indus> BobSapp, #openoffice.org
[13:57] <BobSapp> thanks indus
[13:57] <indus> no wait user channel is different
[13:57] <Moat> it won't let me extract them
[13:57] <indus> ah no its right one BobSapp
[13:57] <aTsgR> any ideas on the printer issue??
[13:57] <DJones> Moat: If thats what it is, you'll need the other parts of the set before you can join all the parts and extract the the zip file
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> Moat:  do you have more then 1 'part' ? a .001 .002 ,003 and so on?
[13:58] <BobSapp> k thanks
[13:58] <indus> BobSapp, just click on it
[13:58] <ubyserver> Hello Everyone
[13:58] <ubyserver> I successfully connected to FTP
[13:58] <indus> BobSapp, #openoffice.org

[13:58] <BobSapp> Cant im using irssi :)
[13:58] <indus> BobSapp, damn
[13:58] <indus> :)
[13:58] <erUSUL> ubyserver: depends on the ftp cleint you are using
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> Moat:  try 'unzip whatever.01'  using the proper filename perhaps
[13:59] <ubyserver> umm
[13:59] <ubyserver> ftp from shell
[13:59] <erUSUL> ubyserver: then use the put and mput commands
[13:59] <ubyserver> the fawesome
[13:59] <Solar_Flare> ubyserver: put xyz /dasd/dasd
[13:59] <ubyserver> thank you
[13:59] <erUSUL> ubyserver: also instead of ftp use mor advanced cli ftp clients like lftp
[14:00] <ubyserver> erUSUL: opened lftp fine.
[14:00] <Moat> it won't unzip them
[14:00] <Moat> how do i even unzip?
[14:01] <jovenrise> hi
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> Moat:  i use the unzip command or 'unp'
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> ive no idea if unzip even supports multipart zips
[14:02] <Moat> it doesnt
[14:02] <jovenrise> I was trying to find the correct driver for my video card and it looks like i've made a mess out of it. Could anyone please help me?
[14:02] <Moat> so what does?
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> Moat:  try winrar in wine perhaps
[14:02] <erUSUL> Moat: 7zip ?
[14:02] <dehqan> does this command select installed packages or what ? dpkg --get-selections > file
[14:03] <erUSUL> !find 7zip

[14:03] <ragsagar> i installed ubuntu 9.10 few days before, but the grub didnt get installed. So i added the grub entry by modifying the ubuntu 9.04 entry in debian's menu.lst ( which i was using before installation) . But when trying to boot from it Iam getting a error that 'Selected Partition does not exist'
[14:03] <indus> jovenrise, heya
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> Moat:  that eror message you gave seems to tell me you gave it the wrong filename. or it did NOT want the .zip at the end of the argument
[14:03] <ragsagar> output of fdisk -l http://pastebin.com/yynMV852  , Debian's menu.lst http://pastebin.com/k8Zwp3WS
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> Moat:  i dont see where it says it dosent support multipart
[14:04] <user1_> after recovering windows xp my wubi installed ubuntu has gone missing. is there anyway i can recover it?
[14:04] <ubyserver> I type in dir and I'm left with Making data connection when using lftp ...
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> Moat:  WiFoPa21.zip    does not look like a multipart zip name to me
[14:04] <ubyserver> Atleast when I use ftp, I see a directory
[14:04] <jovenrise> hi indus!
[14:04] <ubyserver> I just need to upload one file ..
[14:05] <lolo> como entro para hablar en lo de español?
[14:05] <jovenrise> right now i've managed to uninstall reinstal xorg and reset de configuration
[14:05] <solow[afk]> hey... I know it's possible to like, set a shortcut to a folder in ubuntu, so my php scripts can still use them. how do I do this?
[14:05] <indus> jovenrise, what graphics card sir thou use
[14:05] <jovenrise> Oh, i'ts a ati all in wonder x800 radeon
[14:05] <lolo> ola
[14:06] <indus> jovenrise, hmm ok so you using 9.10 ubuntu?
[14:06] <grundling82> hi, I've now tried 2x to boot from the 9.10 disc to no avail. checksum is a+ok. none of the options at the menu DO anything, they just spin the disc for 10 seconds. No errors. The only option that actually does anything is boot from hard disk.
[14:06] <archboxman> !spanish
[14:06] <jovenrise> indus, yes
[14:06] <grundling82> I've tried re-burning the disk twice.
[14:06] <indus> jovenrise, delete the xorg contents
[14:06] <user1_> can anyone solve my lost cause - very important folder indeed
[14:06] <lolo> ea yo quero donde se habla todo en español donde es
[14:06] <grundling82> the "verify CD" option doesn't do anything.
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> grundling82:  try making a bootable usb stick?
[14:06] <indus> jovenrise, then , sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and reboot
[14:06] <grundling82> Why, ok, I'll go hop on the train to best buy to buy one
[14:07] <indus> grundling82, how did you burn the disk ,
[14:07] <ubyserver> how do I perform an upload if I'm at the ftp prompt?
[14:07] <indus> grundling82, as an image file?
[14:07] <jovenrise> I've done that, i'm just missing the reboot I think. Ill brb!
[14:07] <grundling82> iso > InfraRecorder
[14:07] <indus> jovenrise, always reboot
[14:07] <user1_> ubyserver: mput
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> Hmm I must have a collection of a dozen+ Usb flash drives. :) in differnt sizes and cartoon character designs.
[14:07] <indus> grundling82, ok so during bootup press ALT-F1 and check messages
[14:08] <user1_> Dr_Willis : an anyone solve my lost cause - very important folder indeed
[14:08] <grundling82> could it be because I have a previous installation that got borked by the auto update?
[14:08] <grundling82> 9.04, i mean
[14:08] <indus> grundling82, or, press f6 during boot menu and remove lines quiet and splash and press enter and wati
[14:08] <indus> wait
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> user1_:  i dont use WUBI. If you still have the wubi files on the HD you can mount them I belive from a linux live cd via the loopback stuff
[14:08] <grundling82> I just want to reformat the partition and reinstall. thank goodness my code is in version control.
[14:09] <grundling82> s/auto update/KK upgrade path
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> grundling82:  may as well delete the partions then and eliminate it as a potential issue. but I dont know that it would cause the issue
[14:10] <grundling82> hm, got a suggestion for something to run under windows that would help with that? I don't have any more CDs.
[14:10] <indus> bye
[14:10] <indus> jovenrise, hi
[14:10] <jovenrise> hi :)
[14:10] <indus> jovenrise, any luck?
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> I never use cd's any more. I always got spare flash drives.
[14:10] <jovenrise> Display seems ok, but I think i've broke compiz too?
[14:10] <grundling82> doesn't answer my question though... :/
[14:10] <indus> jovenrise, did you reboot, didnt see you disconnect
[14:10] <jovenrise> no visual effects or such
[14:10] <user1_> Dr_Willis : I don't see any. but i have the D drive intact after recovering xp. it has a folder named _restore{6B6D80B3-42EE-48CB-8C94-A88B9D93DB27} and has a lot of dirs like RP1 RP2 and so on with some text files in each
[14:11] <indus> jovenrise, compiz is like that, no idea how to fix it
[14:11] <jovenrise> yeah, i just did!
[14:11] <jovenrise> lol
[14:11] <indus> ok bye
[14:11] <olskolirc> how do I regex an apt-cache search to view just what im looking for without all the flooding
[14:11] <Guest77320> i need aprograme to edit my webcam prefrences
[14:11] <indus> Dr_Willis, thanks for the replies
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> user1_:  i imagine the ubuntu file would be a Very large one.
[14:11] <jovenrise> At first when I finished installing ubuntu, compiz was working fine
[14:12] <soreau> jovenrise: Which card do you have?
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> user1_:  you could boot a linux live cd. and check the files out with the 'file' command to see what it thinks they are
[14:12] <jovenrise> an ati radeon all in wonder x800
[14:12] <jovenrise> should i stick with xorg drivers?
[14:12] <dehqan> how to make this command not to install installed packages again ,  apt-get dselect-upgrade
[14:12] <soreau> jovenrise: What is the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer'?
[14:12] <jovenrise> let me see
[14:12] <ragsagar> i installed ubuntu 9.10 few days before, but the grub didnt get installed. So i added the grub entry by modifying the ubuntu 9.04 entry in debian's menu.lst ( which i was using before installation) . But when trying to boot from it Iam getting a error that 'Selected Partition does not exist'
[14:12] <ragsagar> output of fdisk -l http://pastebin.com/yynMV852  , Debian's menu.lst http://pastebin.com/k8Zwp3WS
[14:13] <soreau> jovenrise: You have no choice but to use the open radeon drivers since fglrx dropped support for r3-5xx cards (which includes yours)
[14:13] <jovenrise> I see
[14:13] <soreau> jovenrise: If you try to install fglrx the proprietary ati driver, the open driver cannot work
[14:13] <ragsagar> ubuntu 9.10 is in /dev/hda9
[14:13] <jovenrise> Where should I input that command you typed up there ?
[14:13] <Guest77320> i need aprograme to edit my webcam properties
[14:13] <Mithran> Is there a way to change the resolution in text mode other than with the vga= boot option?
[14:13] <jovenrise> Ok, so i'll be safe keeping away from ati :)
[14:14] <soreau> jovenrise: In your terminal (apps>accessories>terminal)
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> Mithran:  if using the framebuffer theres the fbset command
[14:14] <SpaceGhostC2C> jovenrise, pretty much.
[14:14] <jovenrise> Oh, i did it there, but nothing appeared :S
[14:14] <SpaceGhostC2C> soreau, or s/he could do Alt+F2 and type gnome-terminal
[14:14] <jovenrise> just a new line
[14:14] <Guest77320> i need aprograme to edit my webcam properties
[14:14] <user1_> Dr_Willis:when i do file it says  System Volume Information/_restore{6B6D80B3-42EE-48CB-8C94-A88B9D93DB27}/RP1/RestorePointSize: data
[14:14] <Mithran> Dr_Willis: I am. I'll look into that, thank you.
[14:15] <soreau> jovenrise: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to pastebin.com?
[14:15] <jovenrise> sure, just a sec!
[14:15] <SpaceGhostC2C> soreau, or paste.ubuntu.com
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> user1_:  whats its size?  You could try to mount it via the loopback stuff.. but i would think 'file' would notice its a ext2/3  filesystem
[14:15] <Guest77320> i need aprograme to enable night mode to my laptop webcam
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> Guest77320:  Night Mode?
[14:16] <mongar7> hi
[14:16] <mongar7> i need some help
[14:16] <jovenrise> ok, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/388969/
[14:16] <soreau> ! who | jovenrise
[14:17] <Guest77320> Dr_willis: when i was using windows 7 i could enable night mode         how i can enable it in ubuntu?
[14:17] <hunter34> er hat es vergessen!
[14:17] <BluesKaj> 'Morning
[14:17] <mongar7> can i use facebook on pidgin?
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> Guest77320:  ive no idea what you even mean by 'night mode'
[14:17] <jovenrise> soreau, got the message :)
[14:18] <soreau> jovenrise: That output looks ok. Can you psatebin the output of 'compiz &' from your terminal?
[14:18] <mongar7> ?
[14:18] <Guest77320> Dr_willis: aprogram to edit camera properties
[14:19] <user1_> Dr_Willis : parted shows the drive to be ntfs.
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> user1_:  gparted? drive?  You are checking the files to see what one is a 'ext2/3' filesystem I thought?
[14:20] <jovenrise> soreau, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/388974/ everything went nuts with that command
[14:21] <user1_> Dr_Willis : how do i do it on a file!!!
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> user1_:  ive never tried it on a file.  I would think the file command on each file thats been revoered would show one thats a actual fileysstem file
[14:22] <soreau> jovenrise: Ok, I assume you tried to install fglrx the proprietary driver? If so, how did you do this?
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> user1_:  id imagine a wubi 'installed drive' file would also be rather large.
[14:23] <user1_> Dr_Willis : the file command shows "RestorePointSize: data" where RestorePOintSize is the filename of just 8 bytes
[14:23] <dehqan> it seems many packages on ubuntu are removed , which packages should be installed to have ubuntu boots well
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> user1_:  i doubt if thats the right file then.. see what else is there
[14:23] <jovenrise> soreau,  I downloaded a file called ati-driver-installer-10-2-x86.x86_64.run
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> boots well? vs not booting at all? :)
[14:24] <user1_> Dr_Willis : it has a folder named _restore{6B6D80B3-42EE-48CB-8C94-A88B9D93DB27} and has a lot of dirs like RP1 RP2 and so on with some text files in each
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> user1_:  look in there see if one seems very big.
[14:24] <Harish> hello everybody
[14:24] <user1_> Dr_Willis : nope
[14:25] <soreau> jovenrise: Look in /usr/share/ati/ for an uninstall script. Run it to attempt to undo whatever it did, then completely reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx and libgl1-mesa-dri packages
[14:25] <jovenrise> soreau, ok! brb!
[14:25] <Harish> The ubuntu9.10   freezes occasionally while browsing Internet. Press [Num Lock] – LED is not on/off. Ctrl+Alt+F2/F3 no response. I have to press hard reset to reboot the PC.
[14:25] <Harish> any solution for that !! :-(
[14:25] <user1_> Dr_Willis : but once i faced a similar situation and somewhere i got a script which goes to filesystem and get bits and pieces into serially named folders. even if that's done i would be well off
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> user1_:  if thres nothing even remotely the proper size.. well.. what are you going to try it on? :)
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> user1_:  last i  looked into wubi the 'drive it installed to' was a single large file.  a disk image sort of file
[14:27] <f_mulder> how do I connect to a ubuntu computer via VNC and WAN??
[14:27] <user1_> Dr_Willis : i think RestorePointSize suggest something there's something beneath it
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> user1_:  i was thinking  thats a Windows 'restore point'   - not any windows 'rescued/reovered/lost+found' direcctory
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> f_mulder:  vncviewer ip.of.remote.box         normally after running a vncserver on remotebox
[14:28] <user1_> Dr_Willis : exactly. but how to recover from it else it would be meaningless.
[14:28] <macman_> http://pastie.org/855573 < -- what is this and why don't i see this file in natilus ?
[14:28] <lao5> have you seen the Mist?
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> user1_:  IF you find it. you can mount it via the loopback feature of mount - similer to how you woulkd do it with an iso file.
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> user1_:  at least ive heard of that being done
[14:29] <dehqan> it seems many packages on ubuntu are removed , which packages should be installed to have ubuntu boots well ; in other what are essential packages for boot/working ubuntu proper ?
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  how did they get removed?
[14:29] <jovenrise> soreau, I'm done, should I reboot?
[14:29] <dehqan> Dr_Willis:  apt-get
[14:30] <soreau> jovenrise: Possibly not.. pastebin the output of glxinfo now
[14:30] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  well if youve just randomly removed a lot of packages.. You could start with reinstlaling 'ubuntu-desktop' i guess
[14:30] <jovenrise> soreau, http://paste.ubuntu.com/388982/ there it is
[14:31] <mirsal_> hey, do you know if it's possible to use compiz with the nouveau driver in lucid ?
[14:31] <dehqan> trying now dr
[14:31] <soreau> jovenrise: Cool, no segfault. Now try running compiz from your terminal again
[14:31] <soreau> ! lucid | mirsal_
[14:32] <mirsal_> okay okay
[14:32] <jovenrise> soreau, Cool! Working perfect!
[14:32] <jovenrise> thank you very much :D
[14:32] <soreau> jovenrise: Awesome :) Glad I could help
[14:33] <obiect> hi, has anyone used dd to zero-fill a hard drive?
[14:33] <erUSUL> !anyone | obiect
[14:33] <jovenrise> sorea, now i've learn't the lesson! No tampering with the video drivers. At one moment I didn't even have display and had to do some crazy things in the terminal while the computer booted up with ctrl+alt+f2
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> obiect:  its not too hard to do.. dont make a typo or you can delete the wrong hd.
[14:34] <soreau> jovenrise: Yea, the proprietary driver does not support your card anymore and the open radeon driver is undergoing a lot of changes so it keeps getting better
[14:34] <SwedeMike> obiect: I do that all the time.
[14:35] <ahmed_> i need driver for my webcam
[14:35] <obiect> I didn't specifiy the bs option
[14:35] <obiect> and I have a 160GB hdd
[14:35] <erUSUL> !webcam  | ahmed_
[14:35] <stef1> Hi I'm having a problem creating a new directory on a server:
[14:35] <stef1> sudo mkdir -p /mnt/backup/backintime/ no output because the dir exists.
[14:35] <stef1> sudo mkdir -p /mnt/backup/backintime/new_snapshot/
[14:35] <stef1> mkdir: cannot create directory '/mnt/backup/backintime/new_snapshot': No such file or directory
[14:35] <Stargaze> ahgmed, try cheese
[14:35] <FloodBot4> stef1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:35] <obiect> is it going to take forever?
[14:35] <jovenrise> soreau, I got some warnings though: http://paste.ubuntu.com/388985/
[14:35] <erUSUL> obiect: shouldn't matter much
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> obiect:  it will take a lot longer.. but it will work
[14:36] <soreau> jovenrise: Those are all harmless, typical warnings
[14:36] <Stargaze> ahmed, try sudo apt-get install cheese
[14:37] <ahmed_> i don't want cheese
[14:37] <user1_> Dr_Willis : is there any recovery software in ubuntu like encase forensic for windows
[14:37] <Stargaze> ahmed, cheese is the way to make it work
[14:37] <jovenrise> soreau, awesome, then everything is ok. Thanks a lot again. I gotta go! See ya around!
[14:38] <ahmed_> in cheese i can't edit its properties
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> user1_:  never noticed or tried.. and since you are using WUBI. well... that throws another wrench into things.. IF you find the HD image file. then you can try to do stuff with it.. If you cant find it.. well. not a lot you can do.
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> user1_:  one of the many reasons i suggst peopl never use wubi.
[14:39] <obiect> out of curiosity, how do you determine the value of bs (when using dd)? it's said usually a power of 2 and higher than 512, but it's vague.
[14:40] <shooter_online> Здрасьте?
[14:40] <ahmed_> is there any program except cheese
[14:40] <Stargaze> !ru | shooter_online
[14:41] <Raydiation> is it a problem if i installed ubuntu with ahci disabled in bios and now i turn it on?
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> obiect:  anything over  2048 is proberly pointless
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> obiect:  i just tend to use 1024 normally
[14:42] <obiect> thank you

[14:47] <Dr_Willis> chiiiiiz:  bad media/hard drive issues.. on one of the devices.
[14:47] <Stargaze> chiiiiiz, I/O means Input/Output
[14:47] <riky> hello
[14:48] <chiiiiiz> The multimedia drive is brand new!!!
[14:48] <Dr_Willis> chiiiiiz:   perhaps its the other drive with the issue

[14:49] <chiiiiiz> the multimedia drive is FAT32 formated... can I format it in another format without killing the included player?
[14:49] <user1_> Dr_Willis : yes
[14:49] <user1_> Dr_Willis : now i recovered windows.
[14:49] <riky> Espanish??
[14:49] <riky> Espanish??
[14:50] <user1_> Dr_Willis : and found c and d drive intact with files mentioned above and no ubuntu files. but since d drive is recovered with same size i am optimistic
[14:50] <riky> gracias

[15:10] <epssy> upstart seems to be starting the same application on my computer 8 times, how do I remove these? the upstart documentation is terrible
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> olskolirc:  with the 'd' option.  and then 'w' to write changes to disk.. be CAREFUlL
[15:10] <Harish> Dr_willis any solution
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> epssy:  and what application is this?
[15:10] <epssy> mythbackend here is an example when start up completes http://pastebin.com/J8Zvs2Ag
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> Harish:  No idea. Its crashing hard. proberly a video driver issue.   does it do it only on flash sites for example?
[15:11] <Harish>  no
[15:11] <epssy> I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and this has happened
[15:11] <daedalus__> eppsy: You coudl have a look into System/Preferences-> Autostart (or something like that, I'm using the german version)
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> epssy:  you may want to check the #mythbuntu channel also
[15:11] <tbassetto> .join #haml
[15:11] <tbassetto> lol
[15:12] <claudiuM1> hi, does anyone know how to do to know which Socket uses? I tried cat /proc/cpuinfo but I can't find this information.
[15:12] <claudiuM1> which Socket my CPU uses
[15:12] <Harish> Dr_willis , can i switch to Ubuntu < 9.x version
[15:12] <epssy> daedalus__, none of them appear in those options, I have looked before (checking again now)
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> Harish:  this is linux.. you can do whatever you want..  No idea what that will fix however.
[15:13] <daedalus__> epssy: I cannot view whatever you left under pastebin (Unknown pase-id)
[15:13] <Harish> :) what a answer ?
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> Harish:   if its always crashing with the browser.. try a differnt user, try a differnet browser.
[15:14] <epssy> daedalus__, my mistake; http://pastebin.com/vG11nE0S
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> Harish:  then again.it could be a ram issue and you only notice it because the briwser is using a lot of ram
[15:14] <Harish> Dr not only browser but also other things
[15:14] <spike__> hi, some one can help to configure amavisd-new + postfix on ubuntu?
[15:14] <candy> i installed vlc from terminal, is it possible now to get vlc installation file to my fren from my system?? where can i find that?
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> Harish:  then that points to a ram or video driver issue.
[15:15] <grobda24> How to I save the EDID that X Windows uses ? I am using a KVM box for my monitors.
[15:15] <Harish> m using 1GB ram
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> Harish:  and you should clarify your question to state its not just in a browser then.
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> Harish:  so you are using 1 gb of ram.. You COULD have some bad memory. try the memtest options at boot to check it.
[15:15] <claudiuM1> hi, does anyone know what I have do do to know which Socket my CPU uses? I tried cat /proc/cpuinfo but I can't find this information.
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> Harish:  also use a live cd - and see if it crashes there also
[15:16] <Harish> no there is no problem
[15:16] <epssy> claudiuM1, if you enter the cpu information from cpuinfo in to google you will find your socket type
[15:16] <Harish> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)
[15:16] <grobda24> claudiuM1, find your motherboard description and search for that
[15:17] <iflema> claudiuM1  in a terminal      sudo lshw | more   space bar to scroll down... look for the cpu info its up top
[15:17] <claudiuM1> ok thanks
[15:17] <Harish> k
[15:17] <Harish> m trying new browser, i will let u know
[15:17] <Harish> k
[15:18] <Cyber_Akuma> I renamed that 30_os_probe file to 09 so that Windows would appear first in grub2's menu, but whenever these files get updated it re-ceated the 30_os_probe file while leaving the 09 one outdated.... the updater also fails to run update-grub and instead attempts to update grub.cfg manually... and fails. Is there any way to fix this so its all updated automatically while leaving windows the top choice?
[15:18] <Harish> bye Dr_Willis Winner Never Quits & Quitter never Wins
[15:19] <major_redhat> is there any way to change the order of the bootlist in GRUB so that the default OS is windows and not Ubuntu?
[15:19] <Cyber_Akuma> Also, is it possible to JUST have the Windows and Ubuntu choices, no ubuntu recovery, memtest, alteranate(older) kernels for ubuntu, etc in the grub menu?
[15:19] <Cyber_Akuma> major_redhat: thats what I JUST talked about... problem is updated revert it back
[15:19] <Cyber_Akuma> updates*
[15:19] <smuikas> hello; the amd64 iso - is that only for amd 64bit machines, or intel 64bit machines as well?
[15:19] <daedalus__> epssy: Sry, I'm afraid that I cannot help you with this issue.  thought it would be a mere simple problem with a misconfiguration. Such system things like upstart and the like are beyond my current state of knowledge... :(
[15:19] <smuikas> haven't had much luck trying to install i386 on my 64bit core duo - get an "invalid kernel" error
[15:19] <Solar_Flare> smuikas: every 64bit system.
[15:19] <Cyber_Akuma> major_redhat: are you on grub2 or legacy grub?
[15:20] <smuikas> k, thanks
[15:20] <major_redhat> Cyber_Akuma: i just got in the irc room
[15:20] <epssy> daedalus__, they seem to be beyond every ones! ubuntu appears to have just slapped in upstart without any documentation or knowledge base behind it.  rather annoying
[15:20] <major_redhat> Cyber_Akuma: legacy
[15:20] <Solar_Flare> smuikas: Im running the 64bit amd on an intel core 2 duo
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> Cyber_Akuma:  i recall some forums on the topic of moving windows to the top and cleaning the thing up. but i never looked at them much
[15:20] <smuikas> thankya
[15:20] <meowsus> Am i correct: if i wrote a program, to be able to run it from the command line by just using that programs name, the program would need to be in /bin or /usr/bin correct?
[15:20] <Cyber_Akuma> I know major, but I checked and you didn't join after you said that
[15:20] <meowsus> Just running "programname" as opposed to "/location/to/programname"
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> meowsus:  or somewher in your default PATH
[15:20] <Solar_Flare> meowsus: yes. or you set an alias.
[15:20] <Cyber_Akuma> Anyway, in /boot/grub there will be a file called menu.lst
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> !path
[15:21] <Cyber_Akuma> Just move the Windows option to above the ubuntu option
[15:21] <Cyber_Akuma> you will need admin access to edit this file
[15:21] <major_redhat> sudo access then?
[15:21] <daedalus__> epssy: So you don't even know, where this mythbackend is coming from?
[15:21] <Cyber_Akuma> yeah
[15:21] <major_redhat> so it would be something like sudo gedit boot/grub/menu.lst?
[15:21] <Cyber_Akuma> you can just do sudo nautilus and open that file from the file browser or sudo gedit to open the file diting program and nagivate to the file from there
[15:22] <epssy> daedalus__, that is correct.  I've removed the instances in init.d and the rc sections leaving me to believe this is upstart, I cannot think of anything else
[15:22] <Cyber_Akuma> yeah
[15:22] <meowsus> Dr_Willis: so i could set up a directory in my home directory and tell ubuntu to look there for any commands?
[15:22] <Cyber_Akuma> Well, you would need to be in root first
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> epssy:  upstart starts things in /etc/init/  you looked in there?
[15:22] <major_redhat> sudo su gedit?
[15:22] <major_redhat> or am i missing somehting
[15:22] <Cyber_Akuma> I meant the root directory
[15:22] <Cyber_Akuma> Unless your boot partition was installed somewhere other than ubuntu's partition
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> meowsus:  thats trivial.. make a 'bin' directory and it will be seen and added by the default shell startup scripts. :)
[15:22] <epssy> Dr_Willis, yes, there is no reference to mythbackend there any more.  if that is the case these processes are starting some crazy way :/
[15:22] <major_redhat> nope dual boot
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> meowsus:  keep your programs in there
[15:23] <Cyber_Akuma> Sorry if im confusing you, I am not that good with linux yet, bnut I have done a lot of modifications to grub
[15:23] <major_redhat> i wanted to have GRUB to be installed to my 4 gig SD card but i used the alternate installer and didnt see the option
[15:23] <Cyber_Akuma> But yeah, thats where the file is
[15:23] <meowsus> Dr_Willis: oh. So if i create /home/name/bin at system startup that will be registered automatically as an applications directory?
[15:23] <Cyber_Akuma> you just need to edit it
[15:23] <major_redhat> no thats ok
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> epssy:   ive not useed mythtv in ages. the #mythbuntu guys may have some ideas we are missung
[15:23] <Cyber_Akuma> SD card? Why on there?
[15:23] <major_redhat> im just as good / bad with linux even tho ive used it since 07
[15:24] <Dr_Willis> meowsus:  yes. its added to the default path.. see the .bashrc and .bash_profile config files.
[15:24] <major_redhat> because it just sits there
[15:24] <Cyber_Akuma> hh, same here
[15:24] <Cyber_Akuma> ive been TRYING to use it since 2007
[15:24] <Cyber_Akuma> but linux hates my desktop
[15:24] <epssy> Dr_Willis, thanks
[15:24] <Cyber_Akuma> err, my laptop
[15:24] <Dr_Willis> Not all machines can boot from the SD card slots.
[15:24] <Cyber_Akuma> and my laptop's hardware hates linux :(
[15:24] <major_redhat> ive used it on my imac since 07
[15:24] <Cyber_Akuma> From 7.04 to 9.10
[15:25] <major_redhat> Dr_Willis: yeah my sister's HP refuses to even get past bios with a sd card inserted
[15:25] <Cyber_Akuma> Only ONE version of ubuntu *8.10 IIRC) EVER supported my gpu
[15:25] <major_redhat> im still using 9.04 because of the 15 second boot time form bootchart
[15:25] <Cyber_Akuma> the rest do not, and from what it looks like, will never support it ever again
[15:25] <Cyber_Akuma> :(
[15:25] <major_redhat> whats your gpu?
[15:25] <Cyber_Akuma> Radeon X1200
[15:25] <major_redhat> theres a fix for that somewhere in the forums
[15:25] <solid_liquid> Cyber_Akuma, then you need to install the ati binary drivers
[15:25] <Cyber_Akuma> Apparently the driver is incomptabiel with the new version of xorg that 9.04 and above use
[15:26] <Cyber_Akuma> and ati said they will no longer update that drivers
[15:26] <major_redhat> it enables the legacy drivers or somethign like that
[15:26] <major_redhat> yep ATI is true
[15:26] <solid_liquid> Cyber_Akuma, have you tried 10.04?
[15:26] <Cyber_Akuma> isnt that a beta atm?
[15:26] <major_redhat> not on my t400 yet
[15:26] <solid_liquid> Cyber_Akuma, yeah, but I'm on it right now...  it's the only version that supports my new core i5 laptop
[15:26] <major_redhat> im hoping my friend comes through with his lappy
[15:27] <Cyber_Akuma> This is old hardware, not new
[15:27] <solid_liquid> Cyber_Akuma, still
[15:27] <grobda24> How do I save a monitor EDID for use with a KVM box ( linux can't get it throught the box) ?
[15:27] <Cyber_Akuma> The issue is that the driver is too outdated to work in the new xorg
[15:27] <major_redhat> even though im used to dualbooting with a 160 gig hard drive
[15:27] <Cyber_Akuma> Adn ati don't want to update it to try to force people to upgrade
[15:27] <Cyber_Akuma> Oh i'll upgrade all right.... to nvidia
[15:27] <Cyber_Akuma> Shame you can't replace the gpu on a laptop
[15:28] <major_redhat> Cyber_Akuma: im looking for that fix that i used to re-enable my X1600 on my imac
[15:28] <Cyber_Akuma> Macs used those kind of cards too?
[15:28] <daedalus__> epssy: Maybe you could check the filelist under System-> Administration -> Synaptic Package Adminsitration. Maybe there is a file that could help you solving your issue.
[15:28] <aeon-ltd> Cyber_Akuma: you can upgrade but parts are insanely hard to find and compatibility is low, google MXM cards
[15:28] <solid_liquid> Cyber_Akuma, I only use NVidia and Intel's GPU's myself
[15:28] <Drew_> hi, new ubuntu user here - i installed UNR 9.10 on my Vaio TR5 - the launcher menu on the desktop does not react to any input - any ideas?
[15:28] <Cyber_Akuma> Mine has intel graphics
[15:28] <major_redhat> yep - intel core duo, early 2006
[15:28] <Cyber_Akuma> solid_liquid: the laptop I was planning to get was intel/nvidia
[15:28] <major_redhat> 1.83 ghz, 2gig RAM, 160gig hd
[15:28] <Cyber_Akuma> but it was a black friday deal and got sold out, so I got the next best one, which was amd and ati
[15:29] <solid_liquid> Cyber_Akuma, that should work fine I bet
[15:29] <aeon-ltd> Cyber_Akuma: sorry, thought you had a ati card. soz
[15:29] <solid_liquid> oh ouch
[15:29] <Cyber_Akuma> I should have spring for the one just above that one, which was intel/nvidia
[15:29] <Cyber_Akuma> :(
[15:29] <major_redhat> and my current machine, lenovo t400, has ATI Radeon 3450 256mb
[15:29] <Cyber_Akuma> this piece of trash has given me nothing but truble
[15:29] <Cyber_Akuma> especially the eifi
[15:29] <solid_liquid> Cyber_Akuma, mine has the GPU in the same chip package as the processor, which is why only 10.04 supports it
[15:29] <Cyber_Akuma> wifi*
[15:29] <major_redhat> Cyber_Akuma: yeah i get the feeling that nvidia is much more linux friendly than ATI
[15:29] <epssy> daedalus__, Dr_Willis, /etc/init/ has the config that has been causing my issues! thank you Dr_Willis.  I assumed upstart was talking about /etc/init.d instead.  thanks for your help :)
[15:30] <Cyber_Akuma> I wish you could build a laptop liek you could build a desktop :(
[15:30] <Dr_Willis> epssy:  :)  init.d uses by sysv.. upstart uses 'init' :) gotta love Similer names
[15:30] <epssy> indeed :P
[15:30] <Cyber_Akuma> Anyway, I guess I can try the 10.04 cd
[15:30] <Cyber_Akuma> in livecd mode... but how can I tell if its working?
[15:30] <mongar7> hi can some one help me to use my facebook on my pidgin ?
[15:31] <Cyber_Akuma> Oh... and can anyone answer my grub2 question? XD
[15:31] <solid_liquid> major_redhat, basically, even though ATI claims they take it very seriously and the son of one of the ATI engineers who writes their Linux driver used to hang out here
[15:31] <Cyber_Akuma> It makes me annoyed that all the good gaming laptops I find or even just above mid-range are ati based
[15:32] <Cyber_Akuma> Sure, its ATI HD, which is probably a decent card, but I prefer intel/nvidia based
[15:32] <dsnyders> Cyber_Akuma, You can build a laptop like you can build a desktop... if you start with one of these: http://home.iae.nl/users/pb0aia/cm/compaq1.jpg
[15:32] <Cyber_Akuma> compaq? I thought hp bought them out?
[15:32] <epssy> Cyber_Akuma, soon gaming laptops will include nvidia 330/350 cards I believe, in the next month or two
[15:32] <Cyber_Akuma> ...
[15:32] <Cyber_Akuma> oh har har
[15:32] <solid_liquid> Cyber_Akuma, they still use the name though
[15:32] <Cyber_Akuma> >.<
[15:32] <aeon-ltd> Cyber_Akuma: buy CAD/CAM nvidia cuda specialist laptops, not sure if you can actually use cuda to the full potential though
[15:33] <Cyber_Akuma> Even the i3/5 based laptops are all ati or intel graphics
[15:33] <Cyber_Akuma> >.<
[15:33] <kitt> sorry - firewall was blocking mirc, been a while since I've used it
[15:33] <Cyber_Akuma> I found a sub-$600 laptop that was i5, 4 gigs fam, 500gb hdd, evne had a blu-ray drive... but has an ATI HD card
[15:33] <Cyber_Akuma> err
[15:33] <Cyber_Akuma> sub-$800
[15:33] <solid_liquid> Cyber_Akuma, mine's intel...  but I remember seeing nvidia ones too (I won't buy ati)
[15:34] <Cyber_Akuma> Well problem is I coulden't find any other laptop that has both blu-ray and a decent gpu for $800 or less
[15:34] <Adminas> Guys i have a situation i updated my ubuntu 9.10 after fresh install it updated latest kernel but after reboot i cant see it?
[15:34] <kitt> so, I have a little problem with my installation, can someone help please?
[15:34] <Cyber_Akuma> kitt: please describe your problem first
[15:34] <today> wazzzup kitt
[15:35] <Cyber_Akuma> Adminas: what do you mean? you can't see the menu option in grub for the new kernel?
[15:35] <today> we;re volunteen to support about Ubuntu now
[15:35] <aeon-ltd> Cyber_Akuma: wait ion2 will be released soon so low end hd video capable laptops will start rolling out
[15:35] <kitt> well, whenever i try to load up the graphical install the screen is really garbled
[15:35] <Adminas> Cyber correct
[15:35] <kitt> like the horizontal sync is messed up
[15:35] <Dr_Willis> epssy:  the new alienware laptop has 2 video cards. :)  that may be a nightmare for linux
[15:35] <major_redhat> kitt: screen artifacts?
[15:35] <kitt> no artifacts, just rolling bands
[15:36] <Adminas> Cyber_Akuma correct
[15:36] <IcyJ> kitt: have tou tried the alternate cd?
[15:36] <solid_liquid> Dr_Willis, SLI works on desktop Linux
[15:36] <Dr_Willis> solid_liquid:  this is not a SLI setup. it has one High Power Video for games.. and a low power one for when you are not gaming
[15:36] <kitt> yeah, that worked but halted halfway through because of some kind of error
[15:36] <Dr_Willis> solid_liquid:  no idea how it changes btween the 2 :)
[15:37] <kitt> so i have tried to use three other difrent distros, mint, gos and easeypeasey
[15:37] <Cyber_Akuma> sorry sorry
[15:37] <Dr_Willis> solid_liquid:  at least thats what the  Alienware website says about the thing.. sort of a neat trick.
[15:37] <Cyber_Akuma> was in another channel
[15:37] <Cyber_Akuma> Can you still boot into ubuntu?
[15:37] <aeon-ltd> solid_liquid: he means nvidia optimus hybrid integrated and discrete
[15:37] <Adminas> Cyber_Akuma np :)
[15:37] <IcyJ> kitt:  did any of them install?
[15:37] <Adminas> im on it
[15:37] <aeon-ltd> solid_liquid: i think......
[15:37] <Cyber_Akuma> actually im in like 20 channels....
[15:37] <Cyber_Akuma> heh, ok then
[15:37] <Cyber_Akuma> can you see the nee kernel in your boot folder?
[15:37] <Cyber_Akuma> new*
[15:38] <Adminas> well where to look exactly :) ?
[15:38] <solid_liquid> Dr_Willis, oh, I think I read something about that switch happening in hardware
[15:38] <kitt> haven't gone into install, i tyried them as live cd's and all have the same rolling issue, which is obviously my screen not being recognised or something
[15:38] <Cyber_Akuma> in the root directory
[15:38] <Cyber_Akuma> there should be a boot folder
[15:38] <Cyber_Akuma> all your kernels will be there
[15:38] <Cyber_Akuma> do you know what the version number of the new kernel is?
[15:39] <Adminas> Cyber_Akuma yes give a sec
[15:39] <kitt> buit i can't work out how to alter the res properly
[15:39] <Dr_Willis> solid_liquid:  yea. its a neat idea.    id hope you dont have to reboot to change video cards its using. :)
[15:39] <sylr> hi
[15:39] <Adminas> 2.6.31.20
[15:39] <ranjan> hello every body.. how much swap space would be better with an 3 gibs of ram please help
[15:39] <solid_liquid> Dr_Willis, heh, right?
[15:39] <sylr> what does chmod u+s does on a directory ?
[15:39] <Adminas> Cyber_Akuma 2.6.31.20
[15:40] <major_redhat> ranjan: i would go with at least 2 gigs
[15:40] <IcyJ> kitt: did you make sure desktop effects were disabled?  install any proprietary video card drivers?
[15:40] <Cyber_Akuma> ok then
[15:40] <Adminas> Cyber_Akuma problem is like grub dont see my new kernel or smth
[15:40] <Cyber_Akuma> btw, do you use grub or grub2?
[15:40] <major_redhat> ranjan: thats what i ahve for my current setup
[15:40] <Adminas> Cyber_Akuma good question
[15:40] <Cyber_Akuma> ...
[15:41] <Cyber_Akuma> ok, open the grub folde rin boot
[15:41] <krishna> i want to not to store "history" in places menu .. ??
[15:41] <Cyber_Akuma> do you see a menu.lst or a grub.cfg file?
[15:41] <Adminas> Cyber_Akuma well at promt it shows 1.97
[15:42] <Dr_Willis> krishna:  history?  Or you mean 'recent documents' ?
[15:42] <Cyber_Akuma> menu.lst is for the old grub, the new one uses grub.cfg
[15:42] <abdelrahman> my front mic doesn't work after waking up from hibernate
[15:42] <Adminas> Cyber_Akuma i have both
[15:42] <krishna> Dr_Willis, yes.
[15:42] <Cyber_Akuma> ho boy....
[15:42] <major_redhat> Cyber_Akuma, whats the main difference between Legacy GRUB and GRUB 2
[15:42] <Cyber_Akuma> ok, open grub.cfg
[15:42] <Dr_Willis> krishna:  ive seen various tweaks to remove it..  I think ubuntu-tweak had a check box to change/remove it also
[15:43] <kitt> is there a cmd line switch for start up to turn off effects etc? i'm a complete nub btw
[15:43] <Cyber_Akuma> does it say "DO NOT EDIT this file is automatically generated by blah blah blah" ?
[15:43] <Dr_Willis> major_redhat:  main differance btween grub2 and grub1 is... EVERYTHING.. ;)
[15:43] <ranjan> major_redhat::  my friend is having hp pavilion with 3gigs of ram .. and i am wondering how much space should i go ahead with .. should i alocate the double of ram in swap part or it is enough with 2 gibs for this part
[15:43] <Cyber_Akuma> Yeah, grub 1 and 2 are COMPLETELY different
[15:44] <abdelrahman> guys, my mic doesn't work after karmic wakes from hibernate
[15:44] <abdelrahman> help
[15:44] <Cyber_Akuma> ranjan: at least as much swap as they have ram, if you want hibernate to work
[15:44] <Adminas> Cyber_Akuma yes there is
[15:45] <Cyber_Akuma> Adminas sounds like grub2, in that case, it should (keyword: should) automatically add it when you run sudo update-grub
[15:45] <major_redhat> ranjan: my thinkpad t400 has 3 gigs of RAM and i use a 2 gig swapspace
[15:45] <Cyber_Akuma> Nobody seems to be around in #grub :(
[15:45] <Dr_Willis> abdelrahman:  some peole have it where their sound cards dont work after hibernate.. :)
[15:45] <Adminas> Cyber_Akuma so run that command?
[15:45] <major_redhat> ranjan: but if you plan on putting your system into standby or hibernation or something then i would go with the 3 gigs for swap
[15:45] <Cyber_Akuma> yes
[15:45] <Dr_Willis> abdelrahman:  personally i find hibernate not worth the effort
[15:46] <Cyber_Akuma> Adminas then check grub.cfg that the new kernel is there
[15:46] <abdelrahman> Dr_Willis : its a laptop :S
[15:46] <ranjan> major_redhat:: ok thanks for this valuable information
[15:46] <abdelrahman> Dr_Willis : it is suppose to hibernate
[15:46] <magicvibe> can someone help me put my xserver back to normal? i rebooted and it has removed all window borders, I cannot see the xterm text and I cannot move windows around my desktop
[15:47] <Cyber_Akuma> major_redhat: is there a difference between standby and hibernation?
[15:47] <mrTr0ut> i'm on ubuntu 9.10 and I'm trying to write to a usb harddrive formatted in hfs+..it's not journaled so im not sure what the problem is
[15:47] <croco> đisconnect
[15:47] <wedo> hello
[15:48] <magicvibe> can someone help me put my xserver back to normal? i rebooted and it has removed all window borders, I cannot see the xterm text and I cannot move windows around my desktop
[15:48] <major_redhat> Cyber_Akuma, i think hibernation writes to RAM before suspending
[15:48] <Cyber_Akuma> What does it write?
[15:48] <wedo> I have uninstalled the Evolution package by mistake and that affected my system, now i have only the xtrem interface, how can I reinstall the lost packages?
[15:48] <major_redhat> Cyber_Akuma: the current state of the system, including open files, folders, stuff like that
[15:49] <Slike> magicvibe: can't you move your windows when dragging your mouse + alt key?
[15:49] <major_redhat> Cyber_Akuma: which is why it tends to take along time to do so because its writing form the hard drive to the RAM
[15:49] <Cyber_Akuma> All I know is that in windows, sleep puts it in lower power mode but all the memory is stil in ram, while hibernate basically performs a "save state" of the system to a hibernate file that is as big as your ram and shuts down the system completely
[15:49] <Cyber_Akuma> Whats standbuy?
[15:49] <major_redhat> Cyber_Akuma: although im 85% postitive im correct
[15:49] <Cyber_Akuma> standby*
[15:49] <Dr_Willis> abdelrahman:  i find hibernation less and less usefull.. Now that i got 30 sec boot times :)
[15:49] <magicvibe> Slike;  i can use ALT+Left click to move windows, but i cannot see terminal text either
[15:49] <wedo> any help plz
[15:49] <PeskyJ> Is there a way to exit a terminal without writing .bash_history?
[15:49] <Adminas> http://pastebin.com/sEr69DFJ this one after runing command and this is cfg file of grub after command http://pastebin.com/s7cNL9Ae
[15:49] <major_redhat> Dr_Willis: i have 15 with 9.04
[15:50] <Stargaze> i disabled hibernation, for the internet connection is never correctly restored
[15:50] <skyraven> hello guys, does any one have a good tutorial on replacing Pulseaudio in Ubuntu 9.10 with Esound ? I've tried several removal instructions so far..but didn't come at a complete success...the issue is I'm using NxServer technology which only forwards sound if the server machine is running Esound...
[15:50] <Dr_Willis> Stargaze:   Yep. Sound, networking, bluetooth,  seen dozens of issues over the years.. in linux and windows with it
[15:50] <Adminas> Cyber_Akuma if you noticed like me i guess in grub.cfg there isn new kernel\
[15:51] <bcurtiswx_> i made changes to stuff in my git clone.. i want to update my git to the most recent one but not effect my changes.. how do I do this?
[15:51] <Stargaze> nothing's perfect, Dr_Willis
[15:51] <blockcold> how to upfrade 8.10 to 9,1

[15:52] <Adminas> sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:52] <Oli``> Just installed the mainline 2.6.33 kernel. I have an SSD drive. Does anybody here know what I need to do to enable TRIM?
[15:52] <blockcold> this command should i use upgrade ?
[15:52] <Adminas> iflema ok
[15:52] <Cyber_Akuma> iflema: update-grub should work
[15:53] <blakkheim> Oli``: does your ssd support trim
[15:53] <iflema> Adminas you have bot installed
[15:53] <iflema> both
[15:53] <Oli``> blakkheim: yes
[15:53] <blockcold> Cyber_Akuma sudo apt-get upgrade ?

[15:53] <Cyber_Akuma> blockcold I use the gui updater, not sure what the cli command is
[15:53] <blakkheim> Oli``: then as far as i know you should be good to go, but there might be some option in fstab to put, not sure
[15:54] <Adminas> sudo: update-grub2: command not found
[15:54] <Cyber_Akuma> Adminas I have to admit, I am not sure why update-grub isnt updating grub.cfg, menu.lst shouldent matter anymore afaik
[15:54] <blockcold> where i find gui updater ?
[15:54] <Hellhound666> I have quick question about compiz
[15:54] <Dan_E> where is the file you edit to add an image in ubuntu 9.10 grub

[15:55] <Hellhound666> my top and bottom images won't fill the space completely for some odd reason.
[15:55] <tonsofpcs> is there a [default] hotkey combination to change resolution in xorg?

[15:56] <Adminas> iflema correct
[15:56] <Stargaze> !xorg | tonsofpcs
[15:56] <Adminas> so i think i dont have grub2 installed right?
[15:56] <Cyber_Akuma> Hmmm..... Maybe you should follow the guide to reinstall grub2
[15:57] <Adminas> Guys im dual booting with windows7 should that matter?
[15:57] <tonsofpcs> Stargaze: I want to change it while live, not quit/restart

[16:03] <jobba777> I am running the latest version of ubuntu studio on a brand new
[16:03] <jobba777> AMD based computer and i cannot get good, NON-jittering full screen video to play on my new 23" samsung monitor.
[16:03] <jobba777> i should have the latest nvidia proprietary driver installed because i did it via the hardware menu. I also have tried a different graphics card and a different mother
[16:03] <jobba777> board with no success. The current card is a "GeForce 9800 GT EE 1024MB GDDR3 PCIe 2.0 Graphics Card". With the last motherboard and graphics
[16:03] <jobba777> card i was finally able to get good video when i installed windows XP ,but never via ubuntu. I know this is a linux issue and not hardware, but i dont know
[16:03] <jobba777> what else to do. I suspect it might be a driver issue, but i have tried all i can as far as attempting to
[16:03] <FloodBot4> jobba777: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:03] <BluesKaj> Adminas, we all see old kernels if we don't remove them from the list , can you boot into the latest one ?
[16:03] <Dan_E> where is the file you edit to add an image in ubuntu 9.10 gurb.
[16:03] <Stargaze> Adminas, this command deletes old kernels and updates grub => http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4653463/71529-ubucleaner.sh
[16:04] <Adminas> BluesKaj whats the lastest?
[16:04] <iflema> Adminas this 2.6.31-20.... where did that come from?
[16:04] <BluesKaj> Adminas, that depends on what uname -a says
[16:04] <Adminas> iflema after update
[16:04] <BluesKaj> on your setup, Adminas
[16:04] <rishi__> Dan_E
[16:04] <Adminas> Linux AMD 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[16:04] <Dan_E> yes
[16:05] <Stargaze> Adminas, this command deletes old kernels and updates grub => http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4653463/71529-ubucleaner.sh
[16:05] <rishi__> try /usr/share/images/xsplash
[16:05] <Dan_E> k
[16:05] <Adminas> Stargaze: how to run it?
[16:05] <Adminas> sudo sh bla bla bla?
[16:06] <Stargaze> Adminas, download and then type sh 71529-ubucleaner.sh
[16:06] <Adminas> Stargaze: ok :)
[16:06] <rishi__> Stargaze, what about apt-get autoremove? does the same thing or not?
[16:06] <Adminas> then reboot?
[16:06] <Dan_E> no grub confg file in there
[16:06] <Stargaze> rishi__, try and se the difference :)
[16:06] <Stargaze> *se = see
[16:07] <rishi__> Dan, check /etc/grub.d
[16:07] <Dan_E> k
[16:07] <rishi__> Star, I've never tried either !! ;)
[16:07] <BluesKaj> I prefer to remove them in the command line ... scripts can screw things up
[16:07] <Stargaze> we're here to learn :)
[16:08] <collink> Can someone help point me in the proper direction?  I've Karmic installed on an HP Pavilion desktop, and it's not recognizing anything I put in my DVD+/-R drive.  How can I tell it my drive is b0rk3d or if there's something misconfigured?
[16:08] <Adminas> Do you want to have all GRUB 2 files removed from /boot/grub?
[16:08] <Stargaze> collink, you need medibuntu in your software sources
[16:08] <Adminas> Your system would be then unbootable if you don't install      │
[16:08] <Adminas>    │ another bootloader
[16:09] <Adminas> Remove GRUB 2 from /boot/grub? then yes or no
[16:09] <Adminas> Stargaze:  this shows up with this script?
[16:09] <rishi__> Stargaze, any idea how to change the ubuntu pulsating logo on startup?
[16:09] <Stargaze> ouch, cannot help with that Adminas :(
[16:09] <iratsu> erUSUL: so it says one of my partitions is LVM2 whereas it's actually not
[16:10] <dagarshali> need help getting windows back from grub..
[16:10] <dagarshali> i don't use windows that much..so resized the partition..but i cna't get into it via grub anymore
[16:10] <iratsu> erUSUL: likewise, mount can't autodetect the right type
[16:10] <erUSUL> iratsu: you want to correct your fstab? or what?
[16:10] <Adminas> Stargate if it deletes my old kernels how should i use new ones?
[16:10] <bazhang> Adminas, dont use that script
[16:11] <Stargaze> the system chooses the new one, Adminas
[16:11] <iratsu> erUSUL: no my fstab is fine
[16:11] <bazhang> Stargaze, please dont recommend that here
[16:11] <Stargaze> bazhang, i use it all the time
[16:11] <bazhang> Stargaze, dont recommend it here.
[16:11] <Cyber_Akuma> dagarshali: I'm guessing either the partition got corrupted and you need to run chkdsk or the uuid changed
[16:12] <Cyber_Akuma> bazhang: why? copyright issues?
[16:12] <erUSUL> iratsu: you can not correct a uuid the uuid is like the size or filesystem format it is a quality of the object
[16:12] <iratsu> erUSUL: it's just that blkid is showing it as type="LVM2_member" while it should be ext3
[16:12] <erUSUL> iratsu: and that is causing problems ?
[16:12] <Adminas> Cyber_Akuma: what should i do?
[16:13] <iratsu> erUSUL: well not any serious problems
[16:13] <Cyber_Akuma> hmmm....
[16:13] <collink> Stargaze: OK, got those in there, now what?
[16:13] <iratsu> erUSUL: i was just wondering if i could change it and why it got like this in the first place
[16:14] <Cyber_Akuma> And no answer......
[16:14] <lili> hola amigos...........'
[16:14] <erUSUL> iratsu: maybe the parition was art of lvm once. raid and lvm tools leave some sort of mark on such paritions that is not trivial to remove
[16:14] <Cyber_Akuma> Adminas: sorry, I haven't been keeping up, what did you try since I disconnected?

[16:55] <raj> abhi_nav:  it wont do any hard man... its compatible with all addons ur just changing the way forefox loads a page.. it will be faster
[16:56] <raj> abhi_nav:  any harm
[16:56] <antonio_> does anybody know how to screencast a blender work session???
[16:56] <abhi_nav> raj: there are two entris each for nglayout.initialpaint.delay and content.notify.interval. the entry which is already there was int. and new i was added is string as per your direction
[16:56] <abhi_nav> raj: what do do? should i remove one of them? or keep both?
[16:57] <erUSUL> antonio_: normal screen recording software do not work? xvidcap etc...
[16:57] <antonio_> no, because it doesnt record the 3d part
[16:57] <raj> abhi_nav:  yes you add both entress as mentioned.
[16:58] <antonio_> for example, if i rotate a cube into blender, it just show a couples of random pixel, but i'm unable to see the cube
[16:58] <antonio_> I also try rMD
[16:58] <antonio_> and also Instambul
[16:58] <abhi_nav> raj: so i should not to do anything to that previos entries?

[16:58] <raj> abhi_nav:  no .. you just add two extra strings and you set the value to 0
[16:59] <erUSUL> antonio_: recordmydesktop ? http://blog.rfquerin.org/2009/02/14/really-basic-blender-video-editing-part-2/
[16:59] <abhi_nav> raj: ok
[16:59] <raj> abhi: dont search for it.. just add the entrees
[16:59] <CrtxReavr> so um. ..10.4, LTS?
[16:59] <m104> Hi all, any way to get a list of suggested packages (not installed) based on the currently installed packages?
[16:59] <raj> abhi_nav:  when ur done tell me how much faster forefox is :)
[16:59] <abhi_nav> raj: i just added the new ones. but then i come to know that two already are there of type integer
[16:59] <abhi_nav> raj: but its ok. fine
[16:59] <bazhang> CrtxReavr, 10.04 ? yes. #ubuntu+1 for support
[17:00] <raj> abhi_nav:  you just ADD them once not twice :S

[17:01] <dvrcoder> hi. I can log into my box by SSH with root and public key auth, but i can't get other uses to authenticate by private/public key. AllowUsers is not set in sshd_config. getent passwd returns both the local and LDAP users and a shell is set. where should I look next?
[17:01] <Kitt> hello again, still having issues with gui artefacts and what seems to be horizontal syncing/refresh states can anyone help please?
[17:01] <CrtxReavr> dvrcoder, is the key added to their ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file?
[17:01] <Sh3r1ff> dvrcoder: authorized_keys in the .ssh folder per user
[17:02] <dvrcoder> CrtxReavr, Sh3r1ff: yes, it is in the correct .ssh folder of the correct user
[17:02] <CrtxReavr> Run teh ssh client in debug mode (-vvv) to see what's wrong then.
[17:02] <raj> abhi_nav:  you just add the two commands .. and click ok and set to 0 ..
[17:03] <abhi_nav> !paste
[17:04] <CrtxReavr> The scroll in here is maddening.
[17:04] <Guest12134> how can I test what's wrong concerning my audio glitches.I get some every time the computer make something..
[17:05] <abhi_nav> raj: this is one image: http://imagebin.org/87669 as you can see there are one entry already there and one new i added so wll they conflict?
[17:05] <Misamoto> Hello :) Any grub2 gurus online and ready to help?
[17:05] <dvrcoder> CrtxReavr, Sh3r1ff: the private key is rejected. i don't find more information than that :/
[17:06] <Stargaze> Misamoto, just asking you questiin is the quickest way
[17:06] <Sh3r1ff> dvrcoder: you sure you pasted the correct key?
[17:06] <Andy-at-home> guys, see to access my webmin on my vps, is that not just http://100.100.100.100:10000 to log into it?
[17:06] <Misamoto> Sure... Just tried to be polite :) Ok...
[17:07] <StefANNn> how to install apache>?
[17:07] <Andy-at-home> obviously with me proper IP =D
[17:07] <StefANNn> ?
[17:07] <dvrcoder> Sh3r1ff: yes. double checked it. and .ssh has permissions 700 and authorized_keys has 600
[17:07] <Stargaze> Andy-at-home, please type /join #ubuntu-servers
[17:07] <Andy-at-home> will do
[17:07] <Andy-at-home> thanks
[17:07] <Sh3r1ff> dvrcoder: and ssh to root works?
[17:07] <Andy-at-home> nice one
[17:08] <Misamoto> OkropNick, I try to install a background with standart web manuals, but my it gives me:
[17:08] <dvrcoder> Sh3r1ff: yes, and always worked
[17:08] <abhi_nav> raj: you there?
[17:08] <Misamoto> Generating grub.cfg ...
[17:08] <Misamoto> No path or device is specified.
[17:08] <Andy-at-home> was it that ridiculous a question?
[17:08] <Misamoto> Try ``grub-probe --help'' for more information.
[17:08] <Misamoto> No path or device is specified.
[17:08] <dvrcoder> Sh3r1ff: now that I think about it, ssh works for at least one other user too
[17:08] <Misamoto> Try ``grub-probe --help'' for more information.

[17:10] <Misamoto> I've already tried restoring grub2 from liveCD, didn't help
[17:10] <dvrcoder> Sh3r1ff: ... the exact same authorized_keys does not work for that other user
[17:10] <m104> Guest12134: audio chip may be sharing an IRQ with the graphics card or some other hardware
[17:10] <raj> abhi_nav:  the wrong entry
[17:10] <Uqbar> hello. I'm running 9.10, my Vodafone PCMCIA UMTS card (nozomi) is recognized by the kernel, I see it in dmesg, but Network Manager won't show it among possible network devices. under 9.04 it showed up all right and worked flawlessly. is this a known issue?
[17:10] <Guest12134> How can I check the irqs?
[17:10] <pog> sorry thought it's one line.
[17:11] <m104> Guest12134: sometimes the BIOS config screen will let you mess around with the IRQs
[17:11] <Guest12134> No bios..it's a iMac...
[17:11] <Stargaze> Uqbar, click System > Preferences > Network Connections and choose mobike broadband
[17:11] <Baxxor> Guest12134: I think its more of an insuficcient buffer size problem on a slow computer, right ?
[17:12] <Sh3r1ff> dvrcoder: and ssh -vvv shows you the same output as before?
[17:12] <Guest12134> maybe....
[17:12] <Baxxor> Guest12134: Dont change IRQ's its got nothing at all to do with your problem.
[17:12] <Guest12134> 800MHz G4,but the processor isn't that busy..
[17:12] <Uqbar> Stargaze: right. then I click Add but the device won't show up. nothing available in "Create a connection for this broadband device:"
[17:12] <Baxxor> Guest12134: player program ?
[17:13] <Guest12134> rythmbox
[17:13] <Guest12134> and vlc and listen...any prgram
[17:13] <Baxxor> Guest12134: Im using that too, really neat!
[17:13] <rishi__> Stargaze, any idea if the old Huawei USB modems are supported in karmic?
[17:13] <Baxxor> Guest12134: vlc, Totem
[17:13] <dvrcoder> Sh3r1ff: yes. ... the fact that that user's /home/USERNAME is a symlink to /bla/home/username hopefully doesn't cause any problems?
[17:13] <Guest12134> got the same problem with all...
[17:14] <Baxxor> Guest12134: Totem sucks on dvd-forward/rev otherwise i like both.
[17:14] <Guest12134> do you know how I can check the buffers?
[17:14] <Baxxor> Guest12134: How new/old is that 800 ppc ?
[17:14] <Sh3r1ff> dvrcoder: don't think that should be a problem
[17:14] <DifferentNick> hi
[17:15] <DifferentNick> i want to

[17:15] <Baxxor> Guest12134: Wysiwyg GUI
[17:15] <Guest12134> So it's not a power problem..It even worked with gnome or xfce..
[17:15] <Sh3r1ff> dvrcoder: it worked for a different user? does that user has also a home which is a symlink?

[17:24] <Zodling> say i have 2 network cards eth0 and eth1  if i have something connecting to the ip of eth1 why is the data moveing over eth0 ?  does ubuntu do some funkey binding by it self?

[17:27] <martin__> stargaze i checked this but n0ne
[17:27] <Baxxor> Zodling: It could be ip forwarding and then perhaps Natting eth0 as well.
[17:27] <Baxxor> Or if eth0 is in promisc mode
[17:27] <blakkheim> question: try #scriptkiddies
[17:28] <Stargaze> martin__, is your wifi internal or usb?
[17:28] <Zodling> Baxxor: thanks ill look in a sec it

[17:41] <arjona> ola
[17:41] <Ubershutze> sigh
[17:41] <becker_11> tamran: your bittorrent client has to support them what client are you using ??
[17:41] <arjona> ola
[17:41] <arjona> eeeeeeeee
[17:41] <jpds> !es | arjona
[17:41] <tamran> becker_11: I'm on Xubuntu 9.10 and using transmissionbt 1.91

[17:42] <arjona> eeeeeeee
[17:42] <arjona> eeeeeeeee
[17:42] <xorg62> Oo
[17:42] <tamran> becker_11: the same combination worked in straight Ubuntu, but xfce doesn't seem to like it
[17:42] <tamran> becker_11: xdg-open is not configured I think
[17:43] <becker_11> tamran: that should do it. I had to compile from source to get transmission 1.80 specificly for magnet link but maybe firefox isn't configured to handle them??
[17:43] <mundix> hey some one knows how to installa ragnarok on linux ubuntu ?
[17:43] <Ubershutze> Can anyone help me figure out why my Ubuntu 9.10 wont mount NTFS partitions?
[17:43] <einsteiger> change lang... / sprache umschalten wo ?????
[17:43] <tamran> becker_11: I'm using chrome, but chrome calls out xdg-open
[17:44] <phil_> i can not open any files on my pc
[17:44] <tamran> becker_11: and yeah, I installed transmission from their site repo, not ubuntu repo
[17:44] <becker_11> tamran: yeah I don't know what xdg-open is to be honest have you tried the same links in firefox??
[17:44] <becker_11> tamran: yeah it's good to have choice
[17:44] <Ubershutze> Well, im leaving. Have a nice day everyone !
[17:45] <tamran> becker_11: lemme try FF now, never thought to try that :)
[17:45] <Looks> aha good Portable ubuntu on DOS
[17:45] <Baxxor> SEE YA!
[17:45] <Baxxor> :)
[17:45] <becker_11> tamran: :-)
[17:45] <dehqan> in a folder there are some packages from jaunty and karmic repositories , how to collect jaunty packages ? dpkg-cache shows which packages ?
[17:45] <dvrcoder> einsteiger: #ubuntu-de ist ein deutscher support-channel

[17:46] <becker_11> ppl I am wanting to format and reinstall my ubuntu install and having never done one and not wanting to take 3 weeks double checking everything is it as simple as copying /home to a usb external drive?? will that save my config files??
[17:47] <becker_11> tamran: see chrome sucks *jokes*
[17:47] <Baxxor> dvrcoder: He quit a few minutes ago dirk! :)
[17:47] <phil_> i got all the downloads but can't open them
[17:47] <becker_11> tamran: I have no experience in chrome so I can't really help configure that
[17:47] <frankS2> Hi how can i deny all ports on device wlan0?
[17:47] <dvrcoder> einsteiger: wir sind hier in #ubuntu. #ubuntu-de ist deutsch. grad vorhin hat einer ne deutsche frage gestellt und eine deutsche antwort bekommen
[17:47] <frankS2> incoming
[17:48] <becker_11> frankS2: iptables?
[17:48] <dehqan> any opinion  ?
[17:48] <einsteiger> ihr verarscht mich doch!!
[17:48] <becker_11> phil_: missed the question can you repeat?
[17:48] <dvrcoder> einsteiger: nein!? wie bist du hier?
[17:48] <martin__> d0 i need insta ndiswrapper in termina
[17:49] <einsteiger> habe seid gestern xubuntu inst. wollte infos erspähen im chst
[17:49] <einsteiger> chat
[17:49] <becker_11> phil_: what format are the files in and how are you trying to open them??
[17:49] <t3pleni9> how find how many ppl are connected to the lan ???
[17:49] <dvrcoder> einsteiger: ja wie bist du im chat? was hast du für einen irc client?
[17:50] <einsteiger> xchat heist das programm
[17:50] <einsteiger> irc??
[17:50] <dvrcoder> einsteiger: dann gib mal ein /j #ubuntu-de
[17:51] <becker_11> tamran: try a google search on how to configure magnet links in google chrome
[17:51] <dvrcoder> einsteiger: in dem channe bist du nämilch nicht, das würde ich sehen
[17:52] <tamran> becker_11: I'm several man-hours into that ... chrome hands it off right to xdg, but on xubuntu, it's not set up right.  If I'm using vanilla ubuntu (with gnome) it works fine ... I'm sure it's how xubuntu (or xfce) configures (or doesn't configure) xdg
[17:52] <frankS2> Hi how can i deny all incoming ports on device wlan0?
[17:52] <chistosa> ola
[17:52] <becker_11> Anyone able to help me with a backup problem? I want to save all my config files before I do a clean install of ubuntu 9.10 what is the best way to be sure I have them all
[17:52] <tamran> nobody around seems to know how to use xdg as of yet :(
[17:53] <tamran> I'll figure it out sooner or later though
[17:53] <dasen> frankS2: install firestarter, it's a easy to use firewall
[17:53] <chistosa> kien habla español
[17:53] <becker_11> tamran: have you tried asking in #xubuntu???
[17:53] <tamran> becker_11: yeah
[17:53] <Baxxor> tamran: In what way ?
[17:53] <blakkheim> becker_11: the best way is to actually know where the config  files are and back them up individually
[17:53] <Baxxor> tamran: Im using XDG-user-dirs etc etc
[17:54] <tamran> Baxxor: have you set it up for magnet links?
[17:54] <nightrid3r> !es | chistosa
[17:54] <becker_11> blakkheim: yeah I thought it might be ... could take a while thou I'm still feeling my way around the filesystem
[17:54] <Baxxor> tamran: Ive built many distributions to provide standards that will work in the long run. What are magnet-links ?
[17:54] <carol> ola
[17:55] <carol> k es esto
[17:55] <tamran> Baxxor: they are essentially "torrentless" torrents
[17:55] <scootsm> Hi, I'm on 9.4...  Is it possible to change sources and use 9.10 packages, without doing a full upgrade?
[17:55] <becker_11> blakkheim: I tend to follow the instructions on whatever site I'm on
[17:55] <scootsm> er, 9.04
[17:55] <becker_11> scootsm: any reason you can't upgrade?
[17:56] <hypolyd> Hi! The is power broke while I ran the "apt-get dist-upgrade" command. How can I run again?
[17:56] <tamran> Baxxor: can I msg you with the command line?
[17:56] <scootsm> becker_11: I'm using andLinux on my work PC, which is setup for 9.04.
[17:56] <blakkheim> becker_11: blindly following directions (especially if they're terminal commands) is a bad idea. you should know what you are actually doing.
[17:56] <scootsm> becker_11: I tried doing an upgrade to 9.10, but there's an issue with something in 9.10.. lemme go see what it is and link it.  sec
[17:56] <Stargaze> hypolyd, try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[17:57] <becker_11> scootsm: so just run an "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" assuming andlinux follows debian I've never used it myself
[17:57] <scootsm> becker_11: http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/UbuntuKarmic    Something to do with squashfs
[17:57] <Baxxor> tamran: Sexxi, torrentless torrents ;)
[17:57] <Baxxor> tamran: What cmd would that be ?
[17:57] <tamran> Baxxor: one sec
[17:58] <becker_11> blakkheim: well I do have a fair idea it's mainly just locations of files that I am still learning
[17:58] <Baxxor> tamran: priv because ive gotta leak some :P
[17:59] <scootsm> It seems that dist-upgrade will upgrade the whole OS?  and not just the package sources?
[17:59] <becker_11> scootsm: I see the problem but I can't really advise you on what to do with regard to the repos ... is a clean install out of the question
[17:59] <Stargaze> scootsm, try sudo apt-get update
[18:00] <hypolyd> I've tried the "dpkg --configure -a" and nothing happened. Is it good or bad?
[18:01] <becker_11> hypolyd: man that sux
[18:01] <becker_11> hypolyd: hope you get it sorted

[18:12] <M25> try4
[18:12] <b2p1mp> I have tried to instal 9.10 on my laptop and the screen is split in 3 stripes, its messed up basically.  When I install in safegraphic mode it is not like this.  But my graphics card must not be supported properly by ubuntu by default.  There is no acceleration.  Youtube is like slide show of pictures.
[18:12] <M25> anyway, I'm here because I've got a compiz problem with my new laptop and 9.10.  Everything works, except for any action triggered by an edge click.  Mousing over an edge (say with dragging windows to new cube faces) works fine, but actually clicking on the screen sides doesn't trigger.  sorry if this is a re-send, my irc broke
[18:13] <ikonia> M25: what card is it ?
[18:13] <b2p1mp> been researching the problem, my card is an ati mobility rage 32MB
[18:13] <M25> graphics?  ATI 4570, proprietary drivers
[18:13] <b2p1mp> on an old inspiron 8000 lappy
[18:13] <ikonia> M25: sorry that was for b2p1mp
[18:13] <ikonia> b2p1mp: what video card is it

[18:14] <ikonia> b2p1mp: ahh, ati ones are problematic in general, as linux / ati compatability is only now coming into a realistic state
[18:14] <ng0n> whew.. fixed wubi boot.  last update blew wubildr on C:
[18:14] <ecke> hello?
[18:14] <M25> ecke: did you get "cannot send to channel" too?
[18:14] <b2p1mp> i may have found some answers here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=210542&page=3
[18:15] <ecke> M25 yes :S
[18:15] <M25> ecke: you're not the only one, I don't know what's causing them though
[18:15] <igfud> is there some command that could be run in the terminal to see if the SETGID bit is set?
[18:15] <ikonia> M25: the channel was set to registered users only for a short period of time
[18:15] <ecke> M 25: ah okey, never chatted in this channel before, started thinking I had to be some kind of member first :S
[18:15] <M25> ikonia: gotcha, thanks, it's happened in other channels too
[18:16] <K-Rich> how stable is the proposed repos ?
[18:16] <ikonia> M25: channels get set that mode if they are under attack/potentially under attack
[18:16] <ikonia> K-Rich: %50/%50 - sometimes solid, some times disaster
[18:16] <K-Rich> ikonia: okay thanks
[18:16] <M25> ikonia: any idea on the edge fix?  I did a /quit on accident and missed a bit
[18:17] <ikonia> M25: I missed your problem, sorry
[18:18] <cousteau> how long does it normally take to UNR to boot? I installed karmic beta on an Aspire One 110 a while ago but it took about 45 sec
[18:18] <M25> ikonia: compiz works great, ATI proprietary drivers, Mobility Radeon 4570.  Edge detection works, I can drag windows to other cube faces/workspaces, but any event triggered by clicking on an edge doesn't happen
[18:18] <ikonia> M25: I suspect that's just a bug with the drivers/compiz
[18:18] <xangua> cousteau: are you still using #karmic #beta¿ update
[18:19] <cousteau> I've just installed moblin on it now, but it has very little packages
[18:19] <duffydack> M25, i have radeon 4650, all works
[18:19] <M25> ikonia: yeah, that's what I figured, but I've experienced it on secondary accounts on other computers, not able to fix there either
[18:19] <xangua> cousteau: moblin or ubuntu-moblin¿
[18:20] <cousteau> xangua: the netbook stopped working before karmic final was released and I had to carry it to the guarantee service
[18:20] <cousteau> which formatted it and put back Linpus >:(
[18:20] <c3l_> why cant I get my ssh server to work? I have configured it to listen to addresses 0.0.0.0 (and  restarted ssh service) why is it not working...
[18:20] <cousteau> xangua: is ubuntu-moblin already released?
[18:20] <ikonia> c3l_: can you ssh to localhost ?
[18:20] <c3l_> ikonia, yes
[18:20] <aouldr78> hi everyone
[18:21] <ikonia> c3l_: ok - so ssh is working,
[18:21] <c3l_> ikonia, yap
[18:21] <M25> duffydack: proprietary drivers or open source?
[18:21] <xangua> cousteau: no, it's beta, alpha...something like that but you can download it
[18:21] <viliny> Hi! im in need of urgent help. My ubuntu stopped booting into X properly, i get a little screen flickering on both my monitors and it ends with them both active but black with an old school cross cursor on 1 screen... this is after installing all the updates today - any ideas? sitting in irssi and can't get to desktop here
[18:21] <ikonia> c3l_: what's your local IP address ?
[18:21] <duffydack> M25, prop... open dont support mine in 9.10 and standard Xorg/kernel.... lucid is ok
[18:21] <c3l_> ikonia, lol =) my question is more like why I cant access ssh via internet =)
[18:21] <aouldr78> i have crash saying that my system encountered serious kernel problem and my system may become instable
[18:22] <ikonia> c3l_: are you using a router with NAT ?
[18:22] <c3l_> ikonia, 81.233.65.248
[18:22] <ikonia> c3l_: that's your local IP address on your machine ?
[18:22] <M25> duffydack: thanks for the info
[18:22] <c3l_> ikonia, i dont think its nat. but I do know im getting a local ip such as 192.168.0.1
[18:23] <ikonia> c3l_: ok - so on the localmachine ssh 192.168.0.1
[18:23] <c3l_> ikonia, 192.168.0.101 to be exact
[18:23] <Baxxor> I love Ubuntu!!!
[18:23] <cousteau> xangua: boot time?
[18:23] <ikonia> ent7: ok, ssh 192.168.0.101 from the local machine
[18:23] <xangua> cousteau: no idea
[18:23] <c3l_> ikonia, that works
[18:23] <ikonia> c3l_: ok - so the problem is your router/natting, nothing to do with ubuntu or ssh
[18:23] <princezuda> I have added an important gems path for rails into my .bashrc, yet my terminal still believes it isn't in the path. What should I do?
[18:24] <c3l_> ikonia, damn, well thanks for narrowing down the issue =)
[18:24] <Baxxor> Fedora reaks compared to Real IT as Ubuntu is. Fedora cant even make NetworkManager work.
[18:24] <byrus> hi
[18:24] <byrus> can some body help me with screen session
[18:24] <genii> princezuda: Did you reboot or do: source ~/.bashrc    ?
[18:24] <guntbert> !ot | Baxxor we like your praise, but

[18:28] <Baxxor> sizzy oh rev32
[18:28] <ksbalaji> is there any way that I can protect an adult only folder from children by putting a password?
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> Ksbaliji: you can chmod and chown the folder so only your username has access to it
[18:29] <nibbler> ksbalaji, give them another user account, and restrict access to this folder to your user (chmod 700 /path/to/folder)
[18:29] <Sacho> give them users, chown it to yourself and make it unreadable
[18:29] <SolarisBoy> can also compress it w/ pw
[18:29] <ksbalaji> ActionParsnip, I have already done in.
[18:29] <Baxxor> ikonia: Atleast you dont suck as much as "Ryan Scrythell Ryan0e Werber Suckmonkey of doom!!!" :) /Oh well, it was worth it.
[18:30] <ksbalaji> nibbler, but my children use my other folders.
[18:30] <nibbler> ksbalaji, to be more secure, like preventing them from modifying boot-options to access the files, use encrypted home which is supported by ubuntu very well
[18:30] <nibbler> ksbalaji, yea, so only apply it to this one folder
[18:30] <vegar_> I specifically removed a user from the audio group, to disallow sound for this user
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> Ksbalaji: then do the same there, you can grant and deny access as you wish
[18:30] <vegar_> however, sound still comes from the speakers
[18:30] <vegar_> what gives?
[18:30] <ksbalaji> nibbler, ok how to encript a particular folder please>?
[18:30] <nibbler> !enter  | vegar_
[18:31] <guntbert> Baxxor: please keep to the topic of this channel - ubuntu support
[18:31] <xombie> notify - * *
[18:31] <vegar_> I specifically removed a user from the audio group, to disallow sound for this user. However, sound still comes from the speakers. Why?
[18:31] <xombie> notify -
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> Vegar_: did you log off then log on as the user?
[18:32] <guntbert> xombie:  Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[18:32] <ikonia> xombie: ?
[18:32] <vegar_> ActionParsnip: yessir, and reboot
[18:32] <nibbler> ksbalaji, maybe make a partition on your harddrive that is dm-crypt/luks incrypted. if you click this partition in your nautilus view you need to supply a password to mount it
[18:32] <xombie> trying figure how to uncluter the signon and offs
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> Vegar_: that'd do it. Group stuff is applied at logon
[18:32] <vegar_> ActionParsnip: but it didn't. now did it?
[18:33] <xombie> nope
[18:33] <guntbert> xombie: what client do you use?
[18:33] <dehqan> how to reinstall ubuntu with less losing data ?
[18:33] <xombie> ircii
[18:33] <ksbalaji> nibbler, thanks for the info. I shall implement immediately.
[18:33] <shadows090> Can anyone offer help on how to install gccgo on ubuntu? I'm kind of new to programming. is there a way to add svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/gccgo to repositories?
[18:33] <blakkheim> shadows090: svn and deb repositories are entirely different
[18:33] <guntbert> xombie: there should be something like "conference mode" or "hide joins/parts" in the options
[18:34] <ikonia> shadows090: you can't add it like that, you've got to build it
[18:34] <blakkheim> shadows090: you need subversion installed to pull code from svn
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> Vegar_: is there a group called pulse or something else which smells like a sound group?
[18:34] <nibbler> ksbalaji, good luck! btw, you can also use a file instaed of a partition, dd if=/dev/zero of=/file bs=1000000 count=200 makes 200MB for example, fdisk the file etc, enrypt and mount loopback - its a bit more complicated than using a partition directly but works the same
[18:34] <LAjbanz> Icoonia Dra åt helvete din jävla slyna!!!
[18:34] <vegar_> ActionParsnip: Just for good measure, I removed all groups for this account. Sound still plays
[18:34] <fbianconi> ksbalaji encryption is at partition level, not folder, anyway you can make a file act like a partition, making a filesystem in it, and then mount it in any folder
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> Vegar_: really? Damn thought that would cover the bases
[18:35] <shadows090> blakkhein: my synaptic shows that subversion is installed. how do i pull the code from svn?  I can try to build it (i found an online tutorial)
[18:35] <nibbler> vegar_ check the user and permissions of the sound-device files
[18:35] <blakkheim> shadows090: man svn
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> !svn
[18:36] <ksbalaji> nibbler, fbianconi yeah! file(partition like) this seems more like what I originally needed!
[18:36] <vegar_> nibbler: http://pastebin.com/Sgv91Kry
[18:36] <seanbrystone_> Im trying to get the midori ppa from https://launchpad.net/~midori/+archive/ppa,  but i dont see a link to download it
[18:36] <shadows090> thank you guys
[18:37] <ecke> LAJbanz no swedish
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> Seanbrystone: sudo add-apt-repository ppa://something
[18:37] <cousteau> UNR or UMR? any recommendation?
[18:37] <seanbrystone_> ActionParsnip, what?
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> Seanbrystone: use the bold text in the ppa page to complete the command
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> Seanbrystone: you use that command in terminal to add the ppa and its key
[18:38] <seanbrystone_> ah ok ty
[18:38] <vegar_> ActionParsnip: try it yourself if you have karmic, just adduser a guest account or something with no groups.. and try to play audio
[18:38] <guntbert> vegar_: did you try the GUI way? (system/administration/users and groups)
[18:38] <coldfire> can someone tell me where i can get the sparkling mouse cursors from?
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> Vegar_; I'm on my g1 phone on the way to work so no can do I'm afraid
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> Coldfire: www.gnome-look.org would be my first call
[18:39] <vegar_> guntbert: does the GUI way do anything else but just remove the groups?
[18:40] <vegar_> guntbert: I surely hope the GUI for removing groups don't do anything else with sugar on top which is not apparent
[18:40] <coldfire> actionparsnip: thans
[18:40] <guntbert> vegar_: not to my knowledge - but it would do no harm to have a look at it
[18:40] <coldfire> actionparsnip: thanks
[18:40] <guntbert> vegar_: not removing the groups but removing the audio priviledges from the user
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> Seanbrystone: the command is; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:midori/ppa
[18:41] <seanbrystone_> ActionParsnip, im getting errors on installing that ppa, it said it depends on some dependency webkit package i installed that still getting error
[18:41] <random> hello
[18:41] <vegar_> guntbert: Okay, now I've added sound rights in the GUI app and removed again.. i'll reboot and see if that did any magic
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> seanbrystone: sudo apt-get -f install
[18:42] <guntbert> vegar_: no need to reboot - log out - log in
[18:42] <seanbrystone_> midori: Depends: libwebkit blah blah
[18:42] <seanbrystone_> ActionParsnip, no luck
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> Seanbrystone: you may need a webkit ppa to satisfy the dep
[18:42] <random> Would anyone be able to help me connect through my network to a computer with windows7 to transfer files?
[18:42] <seanbrystone_> ActionParsnip, yeah i did that too
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Random: if you are on the same lan you can nautilus to access the win7 share
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Seanbrystone: or find a deb file to give it what it needs
[18:43] <dehqan> many packages are removed and ubuntu does not load completely so it should be reinstall , is /usr health to be used for new ubuntu ?
[18:44] <random> ActionParsnip,  i am on the same lan, so how would i use nautilus to do this?
[18:44] <seanbrystone_> na i give up ubuntu hard as Red Hat or Gentoo sometimes, thanks anyways ActionParsnip :)
[18:44] <seanbrystone_> i dont need midori that bad
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> random: in the address bar type: smb://host/share ,replace host with the win7 hostname and share as the folders share name you set up
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> Seanbrystone: not as hard as gentoo by a long way dude
[18:45] <Stargaze> random, in windows, type ipconfig, and see what your IP address is, then in ubuntu, click Places > Connect to server en type the IP address
[18:46] <major_redhat> Stargaze: or you could type in ifconfig i believe
[18:46] <Stargaze> major_redhat, in windows, it's ipconfig
[18:46] <major_redhat> Stargaze, yeah but in linux / unix its ifconfig
[18:46] <random> I'll try it out guys thanks.
[18:47] <Stargaze> yes, but he wants to connect to windows, no?
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> Yes but we want the ip of the windows system to connect to
[18:47] <random> to windows from linux
[18:47] <random> i know what you gusy mean its all good
[18:47] <major_redhat> Stargaze: i wasnt really paying attention - i just saw something and i suggested the ifconfig
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> So running ipconfig on the windows side will give him/her what s/he needs
[18:47] <major_redhat> Stargaze: sorry for any confusion i might have caused
[18:47] <hidensoft> hi every one
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> !hi | hidensoft
[18:48] <hidensoft> i trying to install photoshop cs3 with wine
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | hidensoft
[18:48] <hidensoft> but i got error anyway
[18:48] <hidensoft> please give me second to speak !
[18:48] <Hathadar> I would like to have two putty terminals open to my ubuntu server and log on with the same username/password.  How may I accomplish this.  It wont allow the second one "access denied".
[18:48] <hidensoft> i have this question
[18:48] <ng0n> does wubi ubuntu have it's own #channel ?
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> Hidensoft: not all apps work and not all versions work. The appdb will help. You may also benefit from the wine ppa
[18:49] <ZykoticK9> ng0n, nope (personally i think it should, but others disagree)
[18:49] <ng0n> Z: thanks.
[18:49] <hidensoft> ubuntu have another soft wear like wine ?
[18:49] <Stargaze> hidensoft, try Crossover
[18:49] <ng0n> Z: agree
[18:49] <erUSUL> hidensoft: no; thereare two wine derivatives
[18:49] <phretor> ubuntu 9.10 freezes my laptop with no reason, just at random. 9.04 used to run fine. Ideas?
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> Hidensoft: 2 paid for ones come to mind, crossoveroffice and cedega
[18:50] <ng0n> Z: unique problems when running on NTFS file system
[18:50] <ng0n> Z: often NOT ubuntu issues per se
[18:52] <hidensoft> i find Crossover but i cant find cedega on the web
[18:53] <Azelphur> hidensoft: why do you want cedega?
[18:53] <hidensoft> Hidensoft: 2 paid for ones come to mind, crossoveroffice and cedega
[18:54] <hidensoft> i need softwear like WINE
[18:54] <Hathadar> How may I have multiple login sessions with the same username/password via putty?
[18:54] <Azelphur> hidensoft: crossover is much nicer than cedega
[18:54] <Azelphur> choose crossover :)
[18:54] <Stargaze> i think cedega is for games
[18:54] <hidensoft> hm
[18:54] <hidensoft> ok
[18:54] <hidensoft> i trying now
[18:55] <Azelphur> cedega: mostly closed source, snapshot of wine taken from before they changed to LGPL, bad customer support, generally bad :(
[18:55] <Azelphur> crossover: friendly, open source, good customer support
[18:55] <Azelphur> a handy guide to crossover / cedega :P
[18:56] <cousteau> Azelphur: open source? didn't know
[18:56] <cousteau> but it's also commercial, right?
[18:56] <Azelphur> cousteau: yea crossover is very open source, they employ most of the wine developers.
[18:56] <Azelphur> cousteau: yea, it's commercial support for wine basically
[19:00] <dehqan> how to use /home in new ubuntu if it be selected will not be formated ?
[19:00] <cousteau> dehqan: you can tell the installer to NOT format it
[19:01] <superkuh> I normally run off a sata drive mounted as sda. I just connected a new ATA drive as a slave. Suddenly when I log in ubuntu says my /home/ is missing.
[19:01] <jiohdi> anyone have an opinion about dropbox?
[19:01] <superkuh> I think the drives were renamed, the numbers, or soemthing. But I can't get in to tell.
[19:01] <jiohdi> under ubuntu
[19:01] <coz_> jiohdi,  i use it all the time
[19:02] <coz_> jiohdi,  it works well... 2 gigs free.. $10 a month for 50 gigs
[19:02] <coz_> jiohdi,  cant go wrong with it
[19:02] <jiohdi> coz, better than ubuntu one?
[19:02] <coz_> jiohdi,  in my opinion  way better
[19:02] <lchowell> ubuntu one is easy to use and is good for saving documents or reports
[19:03] <jiohdi> I have had problems with ubuntu one updating across several computers
[19:03] <ChogyDan> jiohdi: I do to.  Ubuntu One messes with the modification times, and then confuses itself
[19:04] <random> Stargaze, i'm still having problems connect, it seems like its not accepting my password even tho it's write
[19:04] <random> Stargaze, right*
[19:04] <coz_> jiohdi,  I have had no issues with dropbox..its clean  simple and web accessible
[19:05] <jiohdi> coz_: I am sold :)
[19:05] <coz_> :)
[19:05] <jiohdi> any idea who is behind dropbox?
[19:05] <coz_> jiohdi,  I talked with the creators some time ago but no I dont remember
[19:05] <jiohdi> a big company likely to be around for a while:?
[19:06] <gigasoft> is Ubuntu any good?
[19:06] <chetnick> any suggestions on good audio/music player?
[19:06] <coz_> jiohdi,  if they play it smart they can give ubuntu one some lessons also :)
[19:06] <jiohdi> gigasoft: depends on what you want to do and how old your system :)
[19:06] <chetnick> gigasoft: yeah it's good.
[19:06] <coz_> gigasoft,  ubuntu is cool...nice...and easy to use
[19:06] <gigasoft> widnows rules!
[19:06] <SolarisBoy> rofl
[19:06] <coz_> gigasoft,  it can be as simple as windows or as complex as you want
[19:06] <jiohdi> gigasoft: not for long :)
[19:07] <chetnick> gigasoft: i suggest you make more inteligent statement. Otherwise leave, and come back when you get smarter.
[19:08] <Jules> ciao

[19:08] <jiohdi> linux = democracy
[19:08] <jiohdi> :)
[19:08] <Jules> vieni sul puntoit XD
[19:08] <Jules> ?
[19:09] <chetnick> jiohdi: it's more of a communism :-)
[19:09] <random> chetnick, i do that and it has 3 field in a box pop up, 2 are filled last is a pass, i type the pass and it just pops the box up again
[19:09] <jiohdi> chetnick: communism treats the hard working like the lazy... and fails... ubuntu is not like that :)
[19:09] <Jules> coz_, sai per caso come aggiungere un programma su application?
[19:10] <jiohdi> chetnick: linux is something communism will never be.... successful and thriving
[19:10] <chetnick> jiohdi: true.
[19:10] <coz_> Jules,  do you know any english?
[19:10] <chetnick> jiohdi: i was refering to idea, not what actually happend in practice.
[19:10] <chetnick> jiohdi: but i agree with you.
[19:11] <coz_> Jules,  quale programma?
[19:11] <jiohdi> chetnick: the idea of communism cannot work in reality, but linux can and does so it must be something different :)
[19:11] <chetnick> random: did you enable printer and file sharing on windows?
[19:11] <chetnick> random: open the required firewall ports?
[19:11] <random> chetnick, firewalls are off,
[19:11] <jiohdi> maybe the communists can learn something from it
[19:11] <chetnick> jiohdi: totally true.
[19:11] <random> chetnick, if i was on win7 on this comp i could connect
[19:12] <linolino> how do I check how much memory I have on my slice?
[19:12] <coz_> Jules,  dovrebbe andare al #ubuntu-it per un migliore supporto
[19:12] <chetnick> jiohdi: it's not the communists,  it's the people.
[19:13] <chetnick> random: so you were able to successfuly connect from windows, but can't do it from Ubuntu, correct?
[19:13] <random> chetnick, right
[19:14] <linolino> my server is swapping
[19:15] <davertron> can someone help me with trying to set up a network printer via the command line on ubuntu?
[19:15] <ChogyDan> linolino: free?
[19:15] <chetnick> random: come on private, i need you to explain to me how are you trying to do this.
[19:15] <linolino> how come its swapping
[19:15] <linolino> its hella slow ..

[19:16] <davertron> i copied /etc/cups/printers.conf from one ubuntu machine that i can print from over to another ubuntu machine (headless server) and apt-get installed cups, but if i try lpr filename it doesn't print.  checking lpc it looks like i have entries in the "spool area", but i'm not sure what that means
[19:17] <fourdfourm> I'm trying to set it up so users authenticate using radius. What's the typical way to do this, if any? radiusclient1? I have a Cisco ACS I want to authenticate against.
[19:18] <Guest80742> hi guys. i ve installed a nice up to date and fine tuned (with all apps needed) ubuntu.
[19:18] <ikonia> fourdfourm: do you want your ubuntu machine to authenticate against it, or external devices ?
[19:19] <brettins> howdy folks, I am having trouble getting ALSA working - googling shows a bunch of forums posts that half address my problem.    I was hoping to nab some help here
[19:19] <erUSUL> davertron: spool area /var/spool/
[19:19] <Guest80742> how can I kno the total amount of packages installed from the raw version, ust to install same thing in another machine?
[19:19] <mozmck> Can I install several versions of ubuntu on different partitions and have them all use the same swap partition?
[19:19] <davertron> erUSUL: any idea what i can check to see why things aren't actually printing?
[19:19] <ikonia> Guest80742: get a clean machine and do a dpkg -l | wc -l, then do it on your machine and count the difference
[19:19] <fourdfourm> ikonia: The ubuntu machine.
[19:20] <brettins> alsaconf command is not found, and running alsamixer gives me alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[19:20] <erUSUL> davertron: /var/log/cups/error_log ? and other logs there
[19:20] <ikonia> fourdfourm: you need to use something like the openradia client and going pam to use it
[19:20] <ChogyDan> mozmck: just edit your fstab appropriately.  I suggest avoiding UUIDs for swap
[19:20] <davertron> i don't have /var/log/cups
[19:20] <Kamokow> I heard the new ubuntu themes are available on the 10.04 alphas. Is there anyway to try them on 9.10_
[19:21] <ikonia> Kamokow: no
[19:21] <Guest80742> ikonia: this will return the number of lines...
[19:21] <mozmck> ChogyDan: why fstab?  This would be complete installs from CD.  Do you mean not use UUIDs in grub?
[19:21] <Kamokow> ikonia: Okay, thanks.
[19:21] <Guest80742> i need the packs
[19:21] <ikonia> Guest80742: yes, and each package is a line
[19:21] <brettins> Can anyone help me with configuring ALSA?  It doesn't seem to have installed correctly
[19:21] <davertron> ah, looks like i have "cupsys-client" installed...do i also need "cupsys" installed to print?
[19:22] <davertron> maybe "cupsys-client" is only for printing to a print server or something?
[19:22] <magnap> Where is the channel for beginners?
[19:22] <mozmck> davertron: I think so.
[19:22] <ikonia> magnap: you're in ti
[19:22] <ikonia> it
[19:22] <magnap> Oh!
[19:23] <ChogyDan> mozmck: no, I meant fstab, but you handle the fstab after everything is installed.  Just use manual partitioning, and make sure the swap partition is set to be "used as" swap. no mount point
[19:23] <nibbler> !details | brettins
[19:23] <erUSUL> davertron: is cups correctly installled and running ?? o.0??
[19:23] <Guest80742> ikonia: well, so I know how many packages have been installed... i need their name to repeat the command...
[19:23] <magnap> I thought it was something like #ubuntu-beginners, but it seemed i created it.
[19:23] <MIRI> hola
[19:23] <erUSUL> !clone | Guest80742
[19:23] <erUSUL> !es | MIRI
[19:24] <ikonia> Guest80742: ok, so pipe the dpkg -l to a file, then do the same on a cleam machine
[19:24] <ikonia> erUSUL: mega factoid, cool find
[19:24] <brettins> ummm.   alsaconf gives command not found, and alsamixer gives alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory.     Also the /proc/asound directory does not exist
[19:24] <brettins> so ...a whole lot of "it didn't install"
[19:24] <mozmck> ChogyDan: thanks.  I have winxp, and ubuntu 8.04 on the drive, and I left free space for another ubuntu partition.
[19:24] <brettins> latest version of ubuntu AFAIK
[19:24] <ikonia> brettins: install alsaconf ?
[19:24] <davertron> erUSUL: that is the question
[19:24] <brettins> Right, apt-get install alsaconf doesn't do anything
[19:24] <Guest80742> ikonia: :D  ok me stupid
[19:24] <MIRI> k tal
[19:24] <erUSUL> davertron: can you use cups web interface to configure check cups ...
[19:25] <brettins> i've run the apt-ge installs that are recommended on ALSA sites
[19:25] <ikonia> brettins: the package is something like "alsa-tools" or "alsa-utils"
[19:25] <MIRI> no meda la gana
[19:25] <brettins>  apt-get install alsa-utils alsa-oss      is what I ran
[19:25] <Hathadar> From windows my public share shows up on my ubuntu server but when I try to connect I get "windows cannot access \\server\public"
[19:25] <erUSUL> MIRI: then speak english ; thnak you
[19:25] <MIRI> no
[19:25] <brettins> well initially I ran this: apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss
[19:26] <MIRI> no tengo ganas de  ablar ingles
[19:26] <MIRI> ok???
[19:26] <erUSUL> MIRI: you will be kicked out if you don't.
[19:26] <MIRI> kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
[19:26] <brettins> so yah, I've run the install files that are recommended
[19:26] <benkay86> Does anyone know how to work around "Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs" when attempting to install 9.10 from a USB drive created with usb-creator?
[19:26] <brettins> it seems to have  not installed properly.  So I did the "purge" thing and then ran the install again
[19:27] <brettins> same problem as before
[19:27] <ikonia> !es | MIRI
[19:27] <MIRI> please talking español
[19:27] <MIRI> spanish
[19:27] <ikonia> MIRI: english only
[19:27] <ikonia> !es | MIRI
[19:28] <ikonia> MIRI: read what ubottu said
[19:28] <brettins> so yah....I've "installed" the files that should install alsaconf, and it's still not there.  Any suggestions?
[19:28] <MIRI> can you go to the toilet plis?¿?
[19:28] <MIRI> please
[19:29] <benkay86> Anyone with experience installing Ubuntu from USB?
[19:29] <benkay86> When I try to install from a USB pendrive, the installer hangs on a blank screen.
[19:29] <brettins> I'm not sure how to take the silence - is that that noone knows the answer or my question is dumb?
[19:29] <komputes> benkay86: I so but have not seen that error
[19:29] <MIRI> can i go to the toist please
[19:30] <ChogyDan> benkay86: I do, but it always works fine for me.  Maybe your usb is bad
[19:30] <ardchoille> brettins: perhaps not everyone in the channel is looking at their screen right now
[19:30] <Hathadar> benkay86: I attempted initially to install USB, had lots of problems with blank screens like you.  I tried a different program to write to to my usb drive.  That seemed to work.  I dont recall what it is though.  Try various program to write to your usb drive.
[19:30] <brettins> ard: some people who were answering me before have typed since then but not responded to what I've been asking
[19:30] <benkay86> ChogyDan: Maybe, but I should get a write error from usb-creator if that's the case.
[19:31] <viliny> Hi!
[19:31] <ardchoille> brettins: Give it a few and ask again, perhaps something came up
[19:31] <Ashfire908> I can't left click on anything inside of flash (on any website) in firefox. It acts like I didn't click it.
[19:31] <brettins> okay
[19:31] <antonio_> ciao
[19:31] <ChogyDan> benkay86: why not use the boot option to check the drive anyway?  I'm not sure you would get a write error...
[19:31] <Kutakizukari> Trying to edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to blacklist b43 and blacklist ssb, but when I open the file it will not let me save it. How do I open this file to edit and save.
[19:31] <bdheeman> benkay86: how about booting off of an iso image itself using grub2
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[19:31] <ZykoticK9> Ashfire908, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/clicking-in-flash-not-working
[19:32] <antonio_> htre
[19:32] <viliny> my karmic koala fails to start the login screen and therefore let me into the desktop... basicly im left with 2 black screens with an oldschool pointer X as the cursor and nothing happens. Everythings working under the hood but the system isn't usable beyond shell - tried reinstalling x configs and reinstalling ubuntu desktop but doesn't seem to do a single thing for the machine. Any ideas?
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Kutakizukari: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[19:32] <benkay86> bdheeman: Would that work? I think the initramfs needs to be tweaked from what's on the ISO to expect an iso image file instead of a physical device.
[19:32] <blakkheim> s/gksudo gedit/sudo vi
[19:32] <Kutakizukari> thank you
[19:33] <ChogyDan> viliny: is this a clean install?
[19:33] <Ashfire908> ZykoticK9, Thanks.
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> Blakkheim: gedit is a bit more user friendly for users ;)
[19:33] <brettins> Hey guys, i'm having trouble with my ALSA install.  I ran apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss  to install it initially, but many directories and commands don't seem to be in place.  "alsaconf" gives command not found, and "alsamixer" gives the message alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory.   The "/proc/asound" directory that seems to be referred to does not exist.
[19:34] <blakkheim> ActionParsnip: if he's already on the commandline, why call two graphical apps from it instead of just using the terminal to edit? seems like a waste
[19:34] <viliny> ChogyDan no this is my week old install, 2 possible reasons it did this: 1. Updated system prior to this failed boot 2. Overclocked unsuccessfully ~5 times and ubuntu failed to boot - might have corrupted something there
[19:34] <benkay86> ChogyDan: I would love to, but that boot option generates the same error.
[19:34] <bdheeman> benkay86: not, sure but do boot from an iso off an on, is much faster than cdrom drive and, or sticks
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> Blakkheim: true
[19:34] <ChogyDan> viliny: ya, I would just reinstall if you can
[19:36] <brettins> Hey guys, i'm having trouble with my ALSA install.  I ran apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss  to install it initially, but many directories and commands don't seem to be in place.  "alsaconf" gives command not found, and "alsamixer" gives the message alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory.   The "/proc/asound" directory that seems to be referred to does not exist.    I tried purging a
[19:36] <brettins> nd then installing again but the same problems persist.
[19:36] <ChogyDan> benkay86: maybe you could try just mounting it if you already have an install of ubuntu running.  something like: mount -o loop /media/usb/squash.fs
[19:36] <viliny> Chogydan whats the least painfull way to do it? as to not lose everything?
[19:36] <viliny> copying my home folder to a ntfs drive on the computer but beyond that?
[19:37] <benkay86> ChogyDan: I'm trying to install it on a friend's netbook, not my laptop. I know the image works because I've burned it to CD and installed it the old fashioned way before.
 When I do gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf it gives me a blank file, when I opened it earlier there was much text. Should add my lines and save or do I need to do something else?
[19:37] <viliny> also, sudo mount /dev/sda -> where in there do i specify it to be ntfs filesystem?
[19:37] <djavoleto> ciao
[19:37] <blakkheim> viliny: mount the partition, not the device
[19:38] <viliny> blakkheim, thanks - good spot
[19:38] <ChogyDan> viliny: unless you have some server programs installed, all your data will be in /home
[19:38] <viliny> it will keep them?
[19:38] <chetnick> any suggestion on good music/audio player?
[19:38] <blakkheim> chetnick: mpd + ncmpcpp
[19:38] <Hathadar> From windows my public share shows up on my ubuntu server but when I try to connect I get "windows cannot access \\server\public".  Can I get some help configuring /etc/samba/smb.conf?
[19:38] <knoppies> ChogyDan, Correct me if I am wrong, but some config files are not in /home
[19:39] <brettins> Hey guys, i'm having trouble with my ALSA install.  I ran apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss  to install it initially, but many directories and commands don't seem to be in place.  "alsaconf" gives command not found, and "alsamixer" gives the message alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory.   The "/proc/asound" directory that seems to be referred to does not exist.    I tried purging a
[19:39] <brettins> nd then installing again but the same problems persist.
[19:39] <viliny> knoppies, apache server configs and the likes are not... but thats okay since it's my desktop and not my server :)
[19:40] <viliny> what does cp omitting directory mean?
[19:40] <knoppies> viliny, ok. I hope it all works out in the end.
[19:40] <Ashfire908> Sometimes when I click a button or something that triggers the button sound or others like that, my speakers pop quickly at the start of the sound.
[19:40] <blakkheim> viliny: it means use -r for copying directories
[19:40] <knoppies> viliny, it failed. I had that once, I cant remember what I did to correct it.
[19:40] <viliny> thanks again blakkheim
[19:40] <ChogyDan> knoppies: ok, I'm not an expert.  I personally just backup /home
[19:40] <viliny> it's back-upping right now
[19:40] <knoppies> viliny, I think rather than trying to copy the directory, I just copied the files in a directory into another directory (that already exists).
[19:41] <knoppies> ChogyDan, nor am I, Im just curious.
[19:41] <viliny> is lucid lynx in any shape to be a replacement for 9.10 if i would go straight for that now that i have to reinstall?
[19:41] <Kutakizukari> Kutakizukari
[19:41] <djavoleto> !list
[19:41] <brettins> Is anyone available to help me with some questions about an alsa install problem?
[19:41] <guntbert> !lucid | viliny
[19:41] <Pirate_Hunter> does 8.04 come with lmv2 by default?
[19:42] <plagerism> Anyone using any application for realtime watching of a system log?  My application would be very simple.  Watch the logs for a couple of messages from dhcp, and depending on the type do different tasks.
[19:42] <seanbrystone_> plagerism, maybe iwatch
[19:42] <knoppies> plagerism, I was going to say conky, but I dont think thats what your after.
[19:42] <Ashfire908> I'm going to go on a limb and say pulseaudio is the issue.
[19:42] <ulb> does anybody here use and external HD dock? i was thinking of getting one. does 9.10 have PMP support?
[19:42] <Ashfire908> *out on
[19:43] <brettins> Have I done something offensive or noobish so that people are ignoring me?
[19:43] <plagerism> seanbrystone, thanks I will look into iwatch
[19:43] <viliny> brettins, whats up?
[19:43] <plagerism> knoppies, your right conky isnt what I am looking for
[19:43] <brettins> hey viliny - i'll paste what i've written so far here -
[19:43] <brettins> Hey guys, i'm having trouble with my ALSA install.  I ran apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss  to install it initially, but many directories and commands don't seem to be in place.  "alsaconf" gives command not found, and "alsamixer" gives the message alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory.   The "/proc/asound" directory that seems to be referred to does not exist.    I tried purging a
[19:43] <brettins> nd then installing again but the same problems persist.
[19:43] <FloodBot1> brettins: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:43] <ChogyDan> viliny: to backup your /home, you should use something like rsync -aS
[19:44] <knoppies> brettins, other than repeating yourself often, NO. Unfortunately we are not all experts on ALSA.
[19:44] <ChogyDan> viliny: cp may be able to do it, but make sure to use the -a option as well as -r
[19:44] <viliny> Brettins, sorry i can't help you with that specific problem, sorry
[19:44] <plagerism> knoppies, you mean this iwatch http://iwatch.sourceforge.net/documentation.html
[19:44] <viliny> -1 sorry
[19:44] <viliny> ChogyDan it's in the middle of copying
[19:44] <knoppies> brettins, You could look at google and ubuntu forums, but You probably already have.
[19:44] <Ashfire908> The pop only occurs with the ubuntu sounds.
[19:44] <knoppies> plagerism, Im not the one who suggested iwatch.
[19:44] <brettins> Yah, I've googled many times.
[19:45] <ZykoticK9> plagerism, root-tail shows a specified log on the Xorg background, I use it from time to time
[19:45] <viliny> ChogyDan, whats the worst that can happen? i don't really need any hidden folders and such anyway
[19:45] <brettins> how often should I put a question in here...once every half an hour or  so?
[19:45] <seanbrystone_> plagerism, its in the repos
[19:45] <brettins> (if it doesn't get answered)
[19:45] <Ashfire908> Er, "Window and button sounds".
[19:45] <seanbrystone_> sudo apt-get install iwatch, then man iwatch
[19:45] <Red_HamsterX> brettins, you might have more luck with the forums. They tend to handle more complex issues more effectively.
[19:45] <plagerism> seanbrystone_, is that not for watch filesystems?
[19:45] <viliny> brettings, logic can be applied -> if someone active here doesn't know the answer now - then maybe someone who DOES know gets active in say... 20 minutes? theres good odds for that right?
[19:46] <knoppies> brettins, yea that sounds reasonable. alternativly you could pastebin your problem and say. I need help installing ALSA. Please look at <pastebin link> for more info.
[19:46] <seanbrystone_> plagerism, i think it has settings for what you want to do with it, im no expert though :)
[19:46] <babbio> hi guys i have a question, at the bibliothèque of my university we have a pc whit ubuntu, the goal of this pc is to allow students to browsing Internet. So i have installed ubuntu and created an "administrator" user to accomplish the systems routine operations. Then i created an "user" user for all other users. Now i would like to allow generic users only to open and use firefox....i though about make the administrator user part of
[19:46] <babbio>  the "root" group and so make all the / directort but the firefox one, readable writable and executable only by the root group.....but this does not work....how can i do???
[19:46] <brettins> Red_HamsterX: All the forums show essentially a close problem but the solution involves another part of the problem... ie they say "go to your /proc/asound" direcotry...which doesn't exist for me
[19:46] <brettins> knoppies: thanks
[19:47] <brettins> viliny: yah, logic is how I got the 30 minute number :)
[19:47] <knoppies> brettins, anytime.
[19:47] <plagerism> seanbrystone, yea I read the description in the cache, and it appears to work with inotify to just notify when the file or filesystem was modified
[19:47] <jp--> hi guys, how can I make usplash to not show any boot text on the usplash theme I have set up now?
[19:47] <viliny> brettins, if the solution isn't already then make a new thread about the problem :)
[19:48] <plagerism> as my dhcp server, serves 1500+ users, I know the log file will be updated quite regularily.  I want something like OSSEC, but without the OSSEC
[19:48] <seanbrystone_> plagerism, oh ok, figures lol
[19:48] <brettins> viliny:  makes sense.  I oddly balked at that because there are a bunch of posts with similar problems and people just get told to google it.  I will try it.
[19:48] <viliny> cool
[19:49] <dehqan> cousteau: thanks
[19:49] <plagerism> I want what fail2ban does for authentication fail, but more generic so that I can act on "no free leases" in the dhcp logs
[19:49] <olskolirc> is it safe to open up a .py file in gedit?
[19:49] <ikonia> plagerism: dhcpd will deal with that
[19:49] <ikonia> plagerism: you can tell fail2ban to scrape whatever log you want
[19:50] <plagerism> ikonia, and then configure it to do whatever actions I want ?
[19:50] <vladi_sevillista> olaaaaa
[19:50] <ikonia> plagerism: within reason, yeah
[19:50] <ikonia> !es | vladi_sevillista
[19:51] <plagerism> ikonia, that sounds promising
[19:51] <vladi_sevillista> illo ai alguien
[19:51] <ikonia> vladi_sevillista: english please
[19:51] <dehqan> ubuntu is damaged and does not boot up ,(many packages are removed) , now , can /usr be used for new ubuntu or it is risk ?
[19:51] <ikonia> dehqan: don't use a /usr partition from another installer
[19:52] <dehqan> ikonia: what do you mean of another installer ?
[19:52] <ikonia> dehqan: what is your question, I may have not understood properly
[19:52] <jp--> how can i make usplash to not show boot text on the theme via command-line? (not using startup manager, cause I know there an checkbox there that says 'Show text during boot')
[19:53] <mkquist> jp--: remove quiet from boot line... should show text
[19:53] <dehqan> ikonia: can we use /usr in new installed ubuntu , both are jaunty
[19:53] <jp--> mkquist, I want it to not show the boot information/services that are getting up on my usplash theme!
[19:54] <ikonia> dehqan: use it ?? when you install ubuntu /usr gets created
[19:54] <jp--> i do want it themed
[19:54] <kielanmatt> hey guyz
[19:54] <jp--> but without the extra boot information showing it up
[19:54] <kielanmatt> how do I reset ALSA
[19:54] <kielanmatt> like set it back to default
[19:54] <dehqan> ikonia: replacing them
[19:55] <ikonia> dehqan: replacing what from what ?
[19:55] <jp--> I knkow startupmanager does the job, but I don't have any gui installed, I don't wanna have to install 400 megs of files just to change that option mkquist
[19:55] <mkquist> jp--: then set to quiet boot... doesnt show text
[19:55] <nhak> how can i run a shell script without giving the full path of
[19:55] <dehqan> ikonia: /usr from jaunty that is damaged to new one
[19:55] <nhak> the script ?
[19:55] <ikonia> dehqan: where are you getting a new one ?
[19:55] <ikonia> dehqan: either way "no"
[19:55] <nhak> how can i run a shell script without giving the full path of the script ?
[19:55] <ikonia> nhak: put it in your PATH
[19:55] <nhak> i have tried it but it does not work :/
[19:56] <dehqan> ikonia: installer will make new ok ?
[19:56] <kielanmatt> how do I reset ALSA back to default?
[19:56] <ikonia> dehqan: if you do an install it will make a new one
[19:56] <ikonia> nhak: a.) the it has to be in your path b.) it has to be executable
[19:56] <dehqan> ikonia: ok then can /usr from past be replaced with new one ?
[19:56] <ikonia> dehqan: no
[19:56] <xnt14> Hi, I have an issue with a nvidia G105M, X crashes when I try to login. I'm using nvidia's latest drivers. Any Solutions to this problem?
[19:56] <kielanmatt> xnt14: how did you install them
[19:56] <dehqan> ikonia: why not?
[19:57] <ikonia> dehqan: because the versions maybe out of sync with what libraries in /lib are, or the package manager thinks is installed
[19:57] <xnt14> kielanmatt: I downloaded nvidia's .run file and executed that from a tty as root
[19:57] <Lappie> hello i have a couple of questions, i installed ubuntu with windows vista, when i start my sys, i goto ubuntu, then it goes to the gnu grub 1.97 beta
[19:57] <Lappie> and under there are selections that i dont understand
[19:57] <kielanmatt> xnt14: 195.xxx.x.x. ones?
[19:57] <xnt14> kielanmatt: yes
[19:58] <xnt14> the *latest* one
[19:58] <benkay86> ChogyDan: Got it to work after I used this: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Installer.exe from Windows 7.
[19:58] <dehqan> ikonia: ok someone has done it for debian
[19:58] <kielanmatt> did you agree to remove conflicting files?
[19:58] <xnt14> hmm
[19:58] <xnt14> yes
[19:58] <ikonia> dehqan: so ?
[19:58] <xnt14> well
[19:58] <xnt14> it never asked
[19:58] <jp--> mkquist, that did the tricks! i love you.
[19:58] <FloodBot1> xnt14: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:58] <jp--> <3
[19:58] <benkay86> Of course, not it's hard to tell my friend "Linux is better" with a straight face.
[19:58] <jp--> haha
[19:58] <jp--> :D
[19:58] <FloodBot1> jp--: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:58] <ikonia> jp--: please stop that
[19:58] <kielanmatt> xnt14: did you agree to nvidia changing Xorg config
[19:58] <benkay86> (Since I need Windows to install Linux.)
[19:58] <dehqan> ikonia: he/she used /usr for new installs
[19:58] <xnt14> kielanmatt: yeah
[19:58] <ikonia> jp--: please try to put your comments on one, or as few lines as possible
[19:58] <ikonia> dehqan: so ?
[19:58] <kielanmatt> xnt14: in that case
[19:58] <opossum_oisif> hi, I would like to know how do I do a backup of my home?
[19:58] <kielanmatt> i would reccomend a third party installer
[19:58] <ikonia> opossum_oisif: tar it up to a different location
[19:58] <Lappie> Ub linux 2.6.31-19 generic, then the recovery mode for the same, and also -14 and -14 recovery mode also there is winvista (loader) on /dev/sda2)
[19:59] <jp--> ikonia, i'm a hustla, don't fuck with me.
[19:59] <xnt14> kielanmatt: like Envy-NG?
[19:59] <kielanmatt> yes
[19:59] <xnt14> kielanmatt: ok, I'll try that
[19:59] <kielanmatt> how do I reset ALSA back to default?
[19:59] <kielanmatt> how do I reset ALSA back to default?
[19:59] <blakkheim> rofl
[19:59] <nhak> ikonia, the file is in the path and it is executable but i does not work :/
[19:59] <dehqan> ikonia: so why there in debian is possible but it is not possible here ?
[19:59] <overmind> opossum_oisif: Copy your personal data to pendrive and done
[19:59] <Lappie> what is the diff between the -19 and the -14 and what does the vista (loader) thing do?
[19:59] <opossum_oisif> ikonia, ok thx but what are the argument to do a correct backup does cvzf are sufficant?
[19:59] <DcMeese> Lappie: Vista?? Ewww
[20:00] <ikonia> dehqan: it is possible if you %101 fully understand what you're doing and know that the packages match and the binaries match the library versions
[20:00] <ikonia> opossum_oisif: tar cvfp
[20:00] <dehqan> ikonia: see both are jaunty so lib and packages should be the same or not ?
[20:00] <ikonia> dehqan: no
[20:00] <ikonia> dehqan: updates change versions
[20:00] <xnt14> kielanmatt: I can't login to gnome, does envy have a cli?
[20:01] <ikonia> !envy | xnt14
[20:01] <dehqan> ikonia: no no with out update , does jaunty update automoticaly ?
[20:01] <nhak> ikonia, e.g. now i want to start thunderbird after installing it using the source files after i setup the path in .bashrc i can not start it directly
[20:01] <ikonia> dehqan: jaunty offers updates
[20:01] <ikonia> nhak: echo $PATH see if it's in your path (or paste your PATH in here)
[20:01] <xnt14> ikonia: ok thanks ;)
[20:02] <xnt14> ah, it does have a cli, the `-t-` switch :)
[20:02] <Lappie> is there a source of info for the gnu grub?
[20:02] <kielanmatt> xnt14: yes it does
[20:03] <ikonia> Lappie: yes, the grub website on gnu.org
[20:03] <xnt14> kielanmatt: ok
[20:03] <dehqan> ikonia: so both are 9.04 with out update from on cd
[20:03] <Lappie> kk ty
[20:03] <ikonia> dehqan: updates don't come from the cd, they come from the internet
[20:03] <kielanmatt> just type in envyng
[20:03] <kielanmatt> into terminal once you install it
[20:03] <dehqan> ikonia: know that , humble mean humble have not updated it handy
[20:03] <xnt14> kielanmatt: I am, its running atm ;)
[20:03] <ulb> does anybody here use and external HD dock? i was thinking of getting one. does 9.10 have PMP support?
[20:04] <ikonia> dehqan: I have no idea what youre talking about humble and handy
[20:04] <ulb> *an
[20:04] <dehqan> ikonia: know that , humble(i) mean humble have not updated it myself
[20:04] <ulb> my external HD worked fine, but I want to get one of those docks to clone drives...could there be any issues?
[20:05] <nhak> ikonia, sorry it was my fault (i have put thunderbid there), thank you for your help :)
[20:06] <dehqan> in a folder there are some packages from jaunty and karmic repositories , how to collect jaunty packages ? ikonia
[20:07] <red> could someone add this repository: add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc
[20:07] <red> and then list me the list of packets this command would install:  sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc
[20:07] <Elive_user59_nl> -nick shuffletown
[20:07] <xnt14> kielanmatt: Thank You! That worked. :)
[20:07] <red> im unable to successfully add that repo under the new alpha
[20:08] <red> so i cant get the build deps
[20:08] <Lappie> ok this site does not appear to have any information on those diff options, so what now?
[20:08] <red> and can't find a list anywhere
[20:09] <guntbert> red: "the new alpha" means lucid? then please join #ubuntu+1
[20:09] <mick__> hey i have a bash script i want to automate to an icon
[20:10] <mick__> what would be the command to open a terminal AND enter a command into it?
[20:10] <red> guntbert: yes it means, and since people there tend to have it installed im asking here.
[20:10] <red> cause i need an older karmic user to successfully ad the repo and paste me the list :)
[20:10] <mick__> i tried -e --command=[my script]
[20:10] <red> so i can manually find the dep packages
[20:10] <phnom> mick__: gnome-terminal -e <command>
[20:11] <mick__> wow.. i was on the right track lol XD thanks
[20:11] <guntbert> red: ah I see - you will get better responses if you keep your questions on *one* line
[20:12] <arand> red: https://edge.launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ppa/+files/xbmc_9.11-karmic1.dsc should list your build-deps.
[20:12] <xnt14> umm, it won't let me enable desktop effects, and running `compiz` in gnome-terminal complains that Xgl isn't enabled. any ideas?
[20:14] <arand> xnt14: Indicating your current video drivers don't support XCgl..
[20:15] <xnt14> arand: I installed the nvidia 185 driver
[20:16] <Mohammad[B]> i have not sound in youtube videos in firefox ! how i can resolve this problem ?
[20:16] <olskolirc> my friend wants to upgrade from fiesty to karamic and I have an incoming pastebin for ya
[20:16] <arand> xnt14: Then something didn't go exactly as it should, presumably, you might be able to find some hints in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[20:16] <xnt14> arand: ok
[20:16] <xnt14> I'll pastebin it
[20:16] <xnt14> hmm
[20:17] <xnt14> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337349
[20:17] <FloodBot1> xnt14: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:17] <xnt14> I think I should put in the "Extensions" part in xorg.conf?
[20:17] <xnt14> Its not in there atm
[20:18] <red> thank you arand
[20:18] <xnt14> ugh, adding 'Option "Composite" "Enable"' made x crash...
[20:18] <arand> xnt14: normally you shouldn't need an xorg.conf file.
[20:18] <xnt14> arand: hmm
[20:19] <xnt14> brb
[20:19] <Lappie> ok i think i found something (finally) but i am very very much a noob as far as this stuff is conserned, can someone please review this information and tell me if im on the right path???    http://www.trap17.com/index.php/Editing-Grub_t70042.html
[20:20] <mkquist> Lappie: having grub problems?
[20:20] <Lappie> not exactly a problem, i just want to understand all the options it shows
[20:21] <mkquist> karmic?
[20:21] <mkquist> Lappie: karmic?
[20:21] <dehqan> will xchat log be removed after removing xchat?
[20:21] <Lappie> yes i installed ubuntu with windows
[20:21] <kwtm> Question on behalf of my mom: "The bar that used to show the names of opened programs is lost.  When I minimize the program that I am using I will not be able to get it back and I may have to open a new one.  Hence there may be several identical programs opened without being known. "
[20:22] <kwtm> How does she get the bar back?  I use Kubuntu, not Gnome Ubuntu, and I have no idea what she's talking about.
[20:22] <xangua> kwtm: me neither :S
[20:23] <serverduck> Hello, I uninstalled evolution mail but the icon remained in the office section. How can I remove it?
[20:23] <cousteau> maybe kicker is not running, or is running without the window list on it
[20:23] <xangua> serverduck: better not to
[20:23] <kwtm> cousteau: Kicker is the name of the bar that has all the opened programs?  Funny, that's what they call it in KDE, too.
[20:23] <serverduck> xangua, Why?
[20:23] <arand> kwtm: does she still have the topmost panel? is the place where the window list was simply blank or is the whole panel gone
[20:23] <xangua> kwtm: tell her to create a new panel and add 'window list' to it
[20:24] <cousteau> kwtm: doesn't kubuntu use kde?
[20:24] <kwtm> arand: She says "The bar for internet is OK.  All programs are shown."  I think that means the APplications menu etc. are still there.
[20:24] <kwtm> xangua: How does she do that?
[20:24] <cousteau> kwtm: ok, never mind... it's "gnome-panel", I think
[20:24] <kwtm> cousteau: Yes, Kubuntu uses KDE, so that's how I know.  I'm trying to help my mom who's using Gnome Ubuntu, as mentioned in my message above.
[20:25] <cousteau> or "gnome-panels"
[20:25] <xangua> kwtm: with right clic in a clear area in the panel :S
[20:25] <kwtm> xangua: Okay, will try.  Thx.
[20:25] <arand> kwtm: Ok, the one can right-click the top panel, select "add panel"
[20:25] <serverduck> So can someone help me delete an icon?
[20:25] <ng0n> sure
[20:25] <TheHerbert> hello, how can i hide the complete path I am in, in the terminal?
[20:25] <arand> kwtm: "new panel" rather.
[20:26] <ng0n> move to trash
[20:26] <serverduck> says operation not supported
[20:26] <ng0n> huh.
[20:26] <David-T> TheHerbert: from where? the prompt?
[20:26] <ng0n> do you have a trash bin on your status bar ?
[20:27] <kwtm> arand: Does she have to specify what type of panel, like "the kind of panel that shows all the opened programs".  (Is that the "taskbar"?)
[20:27] <David-T> TheHerbert: you need to change the prompt, which depends on the shell. for bash you need to set PS1
[20:27] <serverduck> error while copying evolutioin.desktop
[20:27] <TheHerbert> yeah the thing before the cursor =)
[20:27] <Hebram> Update Manager is offering to do a new install for linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic-pae.  Do I need to un-install and then reinstall my nvidia restricted drivers first?  I had to do this in order for the drivers to work after upgrading to the PAE enabled kernel.
[20:27] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: thats in your profile somewhere likely
[20:27] <xnt14> back
[20:27] <serverduck> I'm new to ubuntu, opened only my trash folder and dragged it there.
[20:27] <ng0n> sorry.. that's all i can suggest
[20:27] <TheHerbert> i looked in the .bashrc ... no luck
[20:27] <arand> kwtm: then right-click the new panel and "add to panel", and add "show desktop", "window list", "desktop switcher", and finally "deleted items", that should make the panel as it is normally...
[20:28] <ng0n> severduck:  you might try #ubuntu-beginners
[20:28] <xnt14> arand: nope, didn't work, and heres the pastebin for the Xorg log: http://pastebin.ca/1824176
[20:28] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: /etc/profiles to possibly or anything else you may be sourcing when you login
[20:28] <ng0n> serverduck: no offense.  i use it.
[20:28] <David-T> TheHerbert: /etc/profile seems to set PS1 here
[20:28] <serverduck> Thank you very much.
[20:28] <ng0n> d'nada.
[20:28] <kwtm> TheHerbert: If you want your prompt to be "Hello", then you type PS1="Hello"
[20:29] <arand> kwtm: Another way would be to completely reset all panels, but in that case she would loose any custom launchers/applets that was added to the top panel as well..
[20:29] <xnt14> ah, heres the error: (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.
[20:29] <kwtm> TheHerbert: Although that's not in your .bashrc, you can add your own line.  I think you have to say "export PS1=Hello" ... not sure if you need the "export"
[20:29] <dehqan> ikonia:  if /home be kept , to a user file and folders in /home ,for example to have the same desktop , should new ubuntu have the same username
[20:29] <SolarisBoy> you need the export
[20:29] <TheHerbert> what's PS1?
[20:30] <ikonia> dehqan: no, usernames and passwords are stored in /etc
[20:30] <ikonia> TheHerbert: the shell prompt
[20:30] <SolarisBoy> then would need to source your .bashrc again or log out and in
[20:30] <kwtm> SolarisBoy: Otherwise the assigned value would only last till the end of the script file, right?  I seem to remember that.
[20:30] <ClintEastWood> does ubuntu support belkin wireless cards
[20:30] <ng0n> probably
[20:30] <kwtm> TheHerbert: "PS1" is the name of a built-in environment variable (google those last 3 words).  Whatever you set it to, your prompt will become.
[20:30] <kwtm> TheHerbert: Some special text to remember:
[20:30] <SolarisBoy> kwtm: i think so
[20:30] <David-T> TheHerbert: by default it is set to PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ ' which expands to 'user@host:/full/path/to/cwd$ ' (or ending in # if you are root)
[20:31] <ClintEastWood> what is the name of the software to play windows games on ubuntu
[20:31] <TheHerbert> kewl thanks, is ther a reference how tu put there some useful information like the current dir without the complete path?
[20:31] <dehqan> ikonia: no humble mean how to use previous ubuntu desktop files on new desktop ; to have the same desktop
[20:31] <TheHerbert> David-T: thanks
[20:31] <arand> xnt14: the lines with (EE) are of specific interest, possibly #
[20:31] <SolarisBoy> you can remove the \w i guess
[20:31] <David-T> TheHerbert: man bash # and search for PS1, and PROMPTING
[20:31] <Pirate_Hunter> !lvm > Pirate_Hunter
[20:31] <arand> (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so is the root of the problems
[20:31] <diavel> ClintEastWood: wine
[20:31] <TheHerbert> David-T: thanks =)
[20:31] <David-T> especially:               \W     the basename of the current working directory, with $HOME abbreviated with a tilde
[20:32] <ikonia> dehqan: dekstop files are noramlly stored in /home/$username
[20:32] <kwtm> TheHerbert: Some special text to remember: \h means the (Host) computer name, \u means the User name, and \w is the Working directory name (in case you want it back)
[20:32] <Hebram> ClintEastWood:  PlayOnLinux is one that is located in the Ubuntu Software Center.
[20:32] <dehqan> ikonia:  for example there is /home/desktop/iko   , should new ubuntu has iko user to have the same desktop ?
[20:32] <ClintEastWood> thnx
[20:32] <ikonia> dehqan: the path would be /home/iko/Desktop
[20:32] <arand> xnt14: ah, didn't see you already found it.
[20:32] <xnt14> hmm
[20:33] <ikonia> dehqan: and any user can use /home/iko if you tell it that user's home dir is /home/ko
[20:33] <xnt14> arand: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1390624
[20:33] <TheHerbert> kwtm: thanks aswell
[20:33] <xnt14> what do you think?
[20:33] <kwtm> David-T: man bash?  Isn't that for the #FeminaziLinux channel?  (joke! hoke!)
[20:33] <Hebram> ClintEastWood:  I believe it is a front-end for WINE.
[20:33] <Hebram> ClintEastWood:  You can also purchase Crossover.
[20:33] <cousteau> there's a bug or something on UNR karmic installer, it doesn't show the windw
[20:33] <David-T> heh
[20:33] <cousteau> the window decoration
[20:33] <dehqan> ikonia:  how to tell it ?
[20:34] <Kangarooo> how to make command not execute but just simulate (show possible output) ?
[20:34] <ikonia> when you create the user, it will ask
[20:34] <cousteau> I had to restart metacity to get it
[20:34] <eklof> What's the easiest way to dualboot ubuntu and osx on a alu-macbook ?
[20:34] <guntbert> kwtm: such remarks are not  welcome here :-(
[20:34] <daftykins> eklof: rEFIt
[20:34] <kwtm> guntbert: Okay.  Won't do it again, promise.
[20:34] <guntbert> kwtm: :)
[20:35] <Hebram> Update Manager is offering to do a new install for linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic-pae.  Do I need to un-install and then reinstall my nvidia restricted drivers first?  I had to do this initially in order for the drivers to work after upgrading to the PAE enabled kernel.
[20:35] <Kangarooo> how to make command not execute but just simulate (show possible output) ?
[20:36] <cousteau> UNR installation starts at 21:36
[20:36] <SolarisBoy> Kangarooo: depends on the command if it has that option
[20:36] <ikonia> Kangarooo: not all commands can do that, what command do you want ?
[20:36] <daftykins> Hebram: the new kernel should invoke an nvidia module being generated for it at install
[20:36] <cousteau> Kangarooo: what command?
[20:36] <guntbert> Kangarooo: depends on the command - you would have to look at man <command> to see if that is supported at all
[20:36] <Hebram> daftykins:  Thank you!
[20:37] <arand> Kangarooo: also you can use "echo command" if you want to se the expansion
[20:37] <racecar56> with vesa and nvidia drivers, my screen flickers a lot, i'm using a GeForce 8200 (integrated on a nForce 750a)
[20:37] <Kangarooo> any command. maybe they have standart option
[20:37] <dehqan> ikonia:  how to  tell it that user's home dir is /home/ko
[20:37] <Kangarooo> so echo works for all commands?
[20:37] <SolarisBoy> if you want to see the 'command' not the output
[20:37] <kwtm> arand: Thanks, have sent email to my mom.  My router is not working to accept incoming connections or I'd VNC into her machine to figure it out.
[20:38] <ikonia> dehqan: it asks you when you setup the user
[20:38] <TheHerbert> wuhar ... i about to love this CL stuff ...
[20:38] <Kangarooo> no echo just says repeats what i enter after echo. thats not usefull
[20:38] <arand> Kangarooo: e.g. "echo ls *" will show "ls file1 file2 folder2 folder2" ...etc
[20:38] <SolarisBoy> it could be
[20:39] <SolarisBoy> Kangarooo: in general all commands dont have a test option thats not a standard thing
[20:39] <dehqan> ikonia:  even with another username ? what will happen if we creat new iko username , will /home/iko be removed
[20:39] <Kangarooo> arand echo apt-get * also does the same..
[20:39] <racecar56> dehqan: no
[20:39] <ikonia> dehqan: no, home directorys only get removed it you tell them to
[20:39] <Giant81> hehe... sudo apt-get install *
[20:39] <arand> Kangarooo: But no otherwise you need to use the --simulate --dry-run or equal parameter for the command in question.
[20:39] <Giant81> that would rock.. install everything from everywhere
[20:40] <racecar56> dehqan: if you create the user called "user", /home/user won't get deleted
[20:40] <arand> Kangarooo: is it has one
[20:40] <racecar56> Giant81: :P
[20:40] <SolarisBoy> Kangarooo: for instance some package managers like apt-get or rpm have test/simulation options where nothing is done but you see what would have been done,, but all commands dont have that option
[20:40] <Kangarooo> Giant81: E: Couldn't find package Desktop
[20:40] <Giant81> lol
[20:40] <Giant81> I figured it would error
[20:40] <dehqan> racecar56:  ikonia thanks so what will happen ? it will use the previous iko folder yes ?
[20:41] <Giant81> not to mention the dependancy hell of trying to get it to work
[20:41] <hellz_bellz> !evolution
[20:41] <xnt14> hmm
[20:41] <hellz_bellz> !evolution mail
[20:41] <xnt14> *facedesk*
[20:41] <David-T> Giant81: i'm sure some combination of apt-get, apt-cache and xargs would attempt it....
[20:41] <David-T> i'm similarly sure i don't want to try
[20:41] <xnt14> hmm
[20:42] <xnt14> how do I fix the glx module? http://pastebin.ca/1824176

[20:43] <racecar56> *insert uncountable amount of junk here*
[20:43] <dehqan> racecar56:  ikonia thanks so what will happen ? it will use the previous iko folder yes ?
[20:43] <racecar56> dehqan: yes
[20:43] <Kangarooo> yeah if used some option to set it alphabeticaly then something else would be first
[20:43] <SolarisBoy> racecar56: your probably where a lot of junk is at in your file system
[20:44] <dehqan> racecar56:  thanks ikonia thanks
[20:44] <_Trullo> giant: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.4/i386/bt-cd/ :)
[20:44] <racecar56> SolarisBoy: it's because i'm in my home directory
[20:44] <_Trullo> maybe that's why they went dvd instead of cd :)
[20:44] <SolarisBoy> i have waaay to many . files in my home
[20:44] <racecar56> SolarisBoy: and i have lots of files
[20:45] <Kangarooo> what if ill use command > textfile.txt witll command also execute or just write text to textfile?
[20:45] <SolarisBoy> Kangarooo: the output will go to file
[20:45] <iceroot> Kangarooo: test it
[20:45] <racecar56> Kangarooo: anything the command says gets dumped to textfile.txt
[20:45] <frostburn> Kangarooo, that will execute command and write stdout to the textfile
[20:46] <racecar56> Kangarooo: except for stderr
[20:46] <frostburn> not everything, stderr will not
[20:46] <Kangarooo> iceroot: i cant think of what command to try
[20:46] <SolarisBoy> given the output is stdout..
[20:46] <iceroot> Kangarooo: anything the command is writing in STDOUT is goinng to the file
[20:46] <racecar56> Kangarooo: ls > textfile.txt
[20:46] <iceroot> Kangarooo: df > fileame
[20:46] <SolarisBoy> you would need to redirect stderr to stdout then redirect to the file for anything else
[20:46] <racecar56> Kangarooo: that will put the list of files into textfile.txt
[20:47] <SalvoMaltese> Hi all, I have a problem with the login screen, it keeps me asking for user and password, I think it's crashing, where I can see logs?
[20:48] <SalvoMaltese> anybody in?
[20:49] <DodoBird> Ask away.
[20:49] <guntbert> DodoBird: he did :-)
[20:50] <DodoBird> Oh wait, you did. Ummmm, if anything comes to mind, I'll get back to you. (not using Linux atm and my memory's not the best)
[20:50] <bdheeman> SalvoMaltese: Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login from console
[20:50] <SalvoMaltese> I can login from console
[20:50] <SalvoMaltese> but then, where to see? what logs?
[20:50] <bdheeman> SalvoMaltese: ok, check /var/log/Xorg*
[20:50] <SalvoMaltese> ok
[20:51] <histo> I want to set up a webserver where php's mail function will work to send out emails from a contact page. Is there a howto somewhere?  I don't need a fullblown email server as I use google apps for mail.
[20:51] <guntbert> histo: how is that an ubuntu support question?
[20:52] <nibbler_> hi. since i have configured 2 monitors on my laptop, i have a little info telling me which monitor has what name in each upper-left corner. how can i make this disappear? i use open drivers, so its no ati/nvidia proprietery stuff... just system->preferences->display setup .|
[20:52] <SolarisBoy> does the latest ubuntu work well with i7 processors?
[20:52] <blakkheim> SolarisBoy: why wouldn't it
[20:52] <ikonia> SolarisBoy: fine
[20:52] <Berzerker> SolarisBoy, yes
[20:52] <hellz_bellz> histo: sudo apt-get php apache
[20:52] <arand> SalvoMaltese: /var/log/gdm/:0.log might also be a possibility
[20:52] <SolarisBoy> =) thanks guys
[20:52] <SalvoMaltese> I can't see any error in the xorg.0.log
[20:52] <hellz_bellz> then goto #php
[20:52] <Stargaze> histo, look in this pdf => http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4653463/issue9_en.pdf
[20:52] <histo> hellz_bellz: guntbert I'm okay with getting the web server up and running but the mail function in php doesj't work out of the box.
[20:52] <mkquist> anyone know of software to remove duplicates files?
[20:52] <hellz_bellz> build it from source?
[20:53] <SalvoMaltese> can I shut down the x server from the console and restart it? maybe it's a login screen problem
[20:53] <SolarisBoy> mkquist: fdupes
[20:53] <bdheeman> SalvoMaltese: try $HOME/.xsession-errors* also
[20:53] <mkquist> SolarisBoy: ill give it a go, thnx
[20:53] <SolarisBoy> ok
[20:53] <johnwedd> hello peoples
[20:53] <genii> SalvoMaltese: sudo restart gdm           or: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[20:54] <SalvoMaltese> thanks, going to try it
[20:54] <trinity> hi i wanted to ask is there any satellite usb card supported in karic straight out of the box?
[20:55] <histo> Stargaze: what does that have to do with what i'm talking about?
[20:56] <blakkheim> !hcl > trinity
[20:56] <Stargaze> histo, read this for POP and IMAP => http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4653463/issue13_en.pdf
[20:56] <Stargaze> you do want a mail server, no?
[20:57] <johnwedd> hey guys, i just wanted to say that 9.10 has made me do something i wouldn't have even considered even a month ago. I did a wipe and a clean install of ubuntu, and windows has been purged from this laptop
[20:57] <Cyber_Akuma> Uhh, great?
[20:57] <SolarisBoy> johnwedd: are you happy?
[20:57] <histo> Stargaze: I don't need pop and imap
[20:57] <Cyber_Akuma> Unless Linux can run any and every modern windowx exe and directx I will never go linux only
[20:57] <Cyber_Akuma> XD
[20:57] <Stargaze> then i misunderstood, histo
[20:57] <johnwedd> well, since the wifi card worked out of the box, hellz yes i am happy
[20:57] <javatexan> help
[20:58] <twomonkies> Damn! I'm going crazy. I've lost the sound! There is no light in the optic! Anyone knows what to do?
[20:58] <ikonia> histo: you don't need a mail server at all, just tell php to use googles remote smtp service (you did say you where using google mail for a mail service)
[20:58] <SolarisBoy> johnwedd: good =)
[20:58] <etsorbme8> why did this message show up red " ikonia has kicked jp-- from #ubuntu (ban dodging is not allowed)"
[20:58] <SolarisBoy> you can just use sendmail client to send to gmail smtp no?
[20:58] <johnwedd> that and my Win 7 RC expired
[20:58] <histo> ikonia: google apps for domains for mail service. But using the php mail function for the ocntact page.
[20:59] <histo> ikonia: contact page
[20:59] <ikonia> histo: "mail services" - php mail function
[20:59] <ikonia> histo: tell the mail function to use googles mail services
[20:59] <johnwedd> thunderbird will take gmail turnkey
[20:59] <histo> ikonia: So you specify an account for sending?
[21:00] <ikonia> histo: the guys in ##php will be able to tell you if/how to use the mail function
[21:00] <histo> ikonia: k
[21:01] <guntbert> histo: you'll need to be registered for ##php - if I remember correctly
[21:01] <madwill> please why does ubuntu does not allow people to do simple cut and paste of file
[21:01] <guntbert> !register | histo
[21:01] <ikonia> madwill: it does
[21:01] <madwill> why is every folder locked
[21:01] <ikonia> madwill: it's not
[21:01] <mkquist> etsorbme8: you prob have channel events ticked to show in red?
[21:01] <ClintEastWood> if crimecraft is not in winehq directory will it not play
[21:01] <Stargaze> madwill, that's called security
[21:01] <SolarisBoy> madwill: you dont have permissions over what your opening it sounds if you see the little lock icons on them
[21:02] <madwill> well i've got some tiny little lock on every folder
[21:02] <madwill> indeed
[21:02] <SolarisBoy> madwill: you can use sudo
[21:02] <ikonia> madwill: it's not on every folder
[21:02] <madwill> how can i make the damn thing thrust me
[21:02] <madwill> command line
[21:02] <ikonia> madwill: what do you want to get into - that you can't ?
[21:02] <madwill> i want to copy over files i've got into a shared folder to a var/www
[21:03] <SolarisBoy> that needs privs
[21:03] <jibadeeha> anyone here have issues the line jack sense on a Asus EEE PC 1005ha using ubuntu 9.10
[21:03] <SolarisBoy> do it with sudo
[21:03] <madwill> i'll do
[21:03] <Stargaze> idd
[21:03] <madwill> thx
[21:03] <SolarisBoy> np
[21:03] <ikonia> madwill: ok, so you either need to a.) set the permissions on /var/www to be more open, or b.) use sudo / gksudo to move the files
[21:04] <Stargaze> madwill, remember: more open to you = more open to a pote,tian kacker
[21:04] <Stargaze> h
[21:04] <madwill> is this possible to simply share the var/www folder so i can update files from the exterior
[21:04] <meowbuntu> hi all
[21:04] <SolarisBoy> madwill: its possible
[21:04] <Stargaze> madwill, remember: more open to you = more open to a potential hacker
[21:04] <cousteau> UNR installation ended at 22:04
[21:04] <guntbert> madwill: possible but very insecure
[21:04] <histo> guntbert: I am
[21:04] <cousteau> or almost
[21:04] <madwill> i guess i would be more vulnerable to hackers
[21:04] <SolarisBoy> VERY insecure to share that location
[21:05] <guntbert> histo: my bad - I misread :-)
[21:05] <madwill> thx i'm a coder and we lost our network/installation guy....
[21:05] <David-T> well, it depends what you mean by share. using something like scp is generally secure
[21:05] <madwill> got a lot to learn
[21:05] <cousteau> I'm gonna uninstall a lot of things, though, like F-Spot and Rhythmbox
[21:05] <Stargaze> !scp
[21:05] <SolarisBoy> madwill: some use ftp/sftp accounts to push code over to web roots
[21:05] <madwill> good idea
[21:05] <Stargaze> well, learned something new: scp :)
[21:06] <SolarisBoy> scp as well but that doesn't provide the ftp like commands
[21:06] <madwill> still googling that
[21:06] <SolarisBoy> sftp is secure and provides the ftp command line over same ssh tunnel
[21:06] <bin1010> how do I make a recovery CD so when windows screws up grub I can recover it?  ;)
[21:06] <meowbuntu> hi today when i booted up my computer straight away the cpu was maxed out after the default system services are loaded. what is going rong
[21:06] <racecar56> i sort of fixed my flicker problem, it turns out my comp was overclocked so i made it normal and it flickers a lot less
[21:07] <ikonia> bin1010: the normal ubuntu install CD can be used
[21:07] <bin1010> will it have all my grub settings
[21:07] <ikonia> bin1010: errrr they are on your disk
[21:07] <meowbuntu> i have tried looking in top but i find it confusing because all the processes are jumping in and out. i cant really see what is running.
[21:07] <SolarisBoy> meowbuntu: you can sort top
[21:08] <SolarisBoy> meowbuntu: type 'h'
[21:08] <bin1010> i just need the recovery  to fix the mbr stuff though, right?
[21:08] <_flake> ok guys, im having issues connecting to a wireless network that aint broadcasting the SSID, when the SSID is broadcast it connects just fine, im running karmic
[21:08] <guntbert> meowbuntu: or use htop
[21:08] <meowbuntu> h
[21:08] <SolarisBoy> guntbert: =) that too
[21:08] <mkquist> meowbuntu: ps -A | less
[21:08] <SolarisBoy> you can sort ps to FYI.. for top memory, or cpu consuming processes
[21:08] <guntbert> meowbuntu: you type h in the top display , not here :-)
[21:08] <cdw32> hello all, i am having troubles playing videos on my laptop with Hardy.
[21:09] <SolarisBoy> hehehehe
[21:09] <cdw32> can anyone point me in the right direction
[21:09] <moonshadow> Hi. I'm trying to configure my Tablet (had it running in Jaunty), and I need the ServerLayout section in xorg.conf, but there isn't one. I'm clueless. was it moved?
[21:09] <evident> hi everybody... can anybody tell me how I can copy a local file to a directory on a server over ssh?
[21:09] <onaogh> hi ubuntu
[21:09] <meowbuntu> guntbert: htop not installed
[21:10] <SolarisBoy> evident: with scp its more difficult using plain ssh
[21:10] <guntbert> !video | cdw32 did you see
[21:10] <SolarisBoy> evident: scp file user@host:/place/ihave/permissions/to
[21:10] <evident> ok thank you
[21:10] <guntbert> meowbuntu: sudo apt-get install htop will install it
[21:10] <meowbuntu> guntbert: are there any other comands that show all the system processes running.
[21:10] <TheHerbert> what do i need to do do reduce my comand line history? so that if i typed the same command for ten times, it is saved only when it differs from the last one
[21:10] <meowbuntu> yes ok guntbert i fugured
[21:11] <xnt14> hmm, with the 190.53 nvidia driver installed, libglx.so loads, but whenever I run libglx, the computer freezes. http://pastebin.ca/1824229 any solution?
[21:11] <guntbert> meowbuntu: ps aux | less
[21:11] <SolarisBoy> evident: FYI you can "pull" files doing it the reverse scp user@host:/file/i/want /tmp
[21:11] <xnt14> err
[21:11] <xnt14> *glxinfo
[21:11] <moonshadow> TheHerbert - why not type it once and reuse it? or write a bash script?
[21:11] <SalvoMaltese> No way, no error in Xorg.log neither gdm restart works
[21:11] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: there is an option for that...
[21:11] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: one sec..
[21:12] <TheHerbert> i have to use one command again and again, manually, with up and enter, that's ok
[21:12] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: export HISTCONTROL=$HISTCONTROL${HISTCONTROL+,}ignoredups
[21:12] <SalvoMaltese> so i get gdm -> something wrong -> gdm
[21:12] <meowbuntu> thanks guntbert i woke up on teh rong side of teh bed today Yawn
[21:12] <TheHerbert> in my bashrc?
[21:12] <SolarisBoy> the ignoredups part argument.. yes... or some file sourced by..
[21:12] <guntbert> meowbuntu: *under* it ? ;-)
[21:12] <SalvoMaltese> anything to look for before reinstalling?
[21:13] <meowbuntu> guntbert: htop not installed  ps aux | less
[21:13] <meowbuntu> ps aux | less
[21:13] <coldfire> can somehelp me enable a password on grub2? i dont want anyone to be able to use root by dropping down to runlvl 1
[21:13] <TheHerbert> SolarisBoy: that disnt do it =(
[21:13] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: source .bashrc
[21:14] <SolarisBoy> or export that on the command line manually to make it effective now then try history again
[21:14] <histo> ikonia: wouldn't I still need a mail server for that?
[21:14] <TheHerbert> yes i added it to my .bashrc
[21:14] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: source .bashrc
[21:14] <nibbler> how can i make a on-top logo appear on my screen? like without window decoration just sitting in the corner
[21:14] <zykes-> anyone here configured dhcp with failover ?
[21:14] <cdw32> most of the videos are in avi format. Movie Player freezes and MPlayer movie Player isnt working at all....
[21:15] <madwill> what is a good mail server for ubuntu ?
[21:15] <SalvoMaltese> join #ubuntu-it
[21:15] <meowbuntu> guntbert: i whish there was an application like xps alt+ctrl+delete gives (forgotten name) with all teh processes easy to see and disabled. i get a headache reading terminal output
[21:15] <nikkkkkki> hey guys how can i archive my whole htdocs folder via ssh?
[21:15] <SolarisBoy> madwill: postfix is nice
[21:15] <TheHerbert> SolarisBoy: what do you mean
[21:15] <iceroot> nikkkkkki: rsync
[21:15] <madwill> thx
[21:15] <nibbler> nikkkkkki, rsync -av /path user@remotehost:/path
[21:15] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: "source .bashrc"
[21:15] <meowbuntu> maby it got something to do with all the updates ubuntu has done
[21:16] <nikkkkkki> nibbler: this mean it download he content?
[21:16] <SolarisBoy> type the command to reload your profile from this file
[21:16] <bin1010> how to make ubuntu rescue cd
[21:16] <TheHerbert> kay no clue
[21:16] <nibbler> nikkkkkki, first parameter is source, 2nd ist destination....
[21:16] <bin1010> or just use install iso
[21:16] <Cyber_Akuma> I installed Ubunu on my friend's laptop (he wanted to try it) and the sound was off, it was like it was overloading the speakers(static/muffled), but it still sounded just.... off.... when the volume was turned down... not to mention it was very low volume then. Is this a common problem?
[21:16] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: or copy and paste the export line onto a command terminal and press enter
[21:16] <nikkkkkki> nibbler: it would be tar or?
[21:17] <TheHerbert> did that
[21:17] <SolarisBoy> nikkkkkki: thats not archiving
[21:17] <meowbuntu> guntbert: i never know what i ned and dont need so when updatemanager pops up i usually just install everthing. could that be my problem
[21:17] <SolarisBoy> nikkkkkki: thats syncing
[21:17] <nikkkkkki> but i need archive
[21:17] <nibbler> nikkkkkki, this is not involving tar (yet) but just copy from host-a to host-b
[21:17] <SolarisBoy> nikkkkkki: you can execute commands over ssh
[21:17] <meowbuntu> *so when update manager
[21:17] <nikkkkkki> tar zcf backup.tar.gz htdocs
[21:17] <SolarisBoy> nikkkkkki: ssh user@host "tar cf /path/to/htdocs"
[21:18] <nikkkkkki> nibbler: i work in a max
[21:18] <nikkkkkki> i buld a ar & wget it
[21:18] <meowbuntu> arg i was getting help from guntbert
[21:18] <wasutton3_> whats the command to change cpu frequency to a different value?
[21:18] <nibbler> nikkkkkki, you started talking about ssh
[21:18] <nibbler> wasutton3_, shutdown -h now changes to 0MHz
[21:19] <Cyber_Akuma> Anyone?
[21:19] <TheHerbert> SolarisBoy: okay i did that, now luck yet. if i write ten times the same command, i have to press 'up' ten times to get to the previous .. still
[21:19] <iceroot> nibbler: stop that!
[21:19] <meowbuntu> Cyber_Akuma: ask
[21:19] <meowbuntu> !ask
[21:19] <wasutton3_> nibbler: thats not terribly helpful. im looking more for frequency scaling
[21:19] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: hmmm
[21:19] <mcdermott> how do i install wine or playonlinux if ubuntu software center says that my hardware does not support either
[21:19] <iceroot> wasutton3_: maybe cpufreq  will help you
[21:20] <meowbuntu> !ask | ubottu
[21:20] <SolarisBoy> thats odd works for me you may need the whole thing... let me see
[21:20] <iceroot> mcdermott: what is "sudo apt-get install wine" telling?
[21:20] <blakkheim> mcdermott: what arch are you running
[21:20] <nibbler> Cyber_Akuma, try to set all the meters to like 90% - one beeing at 100% can cause this
[21:20] <meowbuntu> iceroot: thats not the latest verson of wine its old
[21:20] <Cyber_Akuma> I tried turning down sound
[21:20] <Cyber_Akuma> didnt help
[21:20] <Cyber_Akuma> It still sounded off
[21:20] <blakkheim> meowbuntu: ubuntu usually has old versions of stuff
[21:20] <iceroot> meowbuntu: no
[21:21] <histo> So if I install postfix will that just open me up for people using it to send spam?
[21:21] <Cyber_Akuma> I mean, when I was set at about 80-90% the static stopped, but it still didnt sound very good quality
[21:21] <iceroot> meowbuntu: just depnding on the repo he is using, the command is always the same
[21:21] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: export HISTCONTROL=$HISTCONTROL${HISTCONTROL+,}ignoredups && export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth && HISTTIMEFORMAT='%F %T ' thats all that i export thats HISTORY related
[21:21] <nibbler> Cyber_Akuma, how dows it "sound off"? its totally silent? ithought it was muffled
[21:21] <iceroot> histo: not by default
[21:21] <mcdermott> its isntalling
[21:21] <TheHerbert> SolarisBoy: okay i'll try that
[21:21] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: try those without the && just put one on each line you already have the ignoredups... just add other 2
[21:21] <histo> iceroot: How do I tell it what account to send the mail out with?
[21:21] <SolarisBoy> k
[21:22] <histo> iceroot: I'm going to use it from a contact page using php's mail function.
[21:22] <iceroot> histo: maybe have a look at #postfix
[21:22] <Guitch> how to change the resolution of the windows of a game; i'm on 800x600 and i can not change into an other resolution, there is no choice
[21:22] <meowbuntu> ok i get your point
[21:23] <vanishing> !lucid
[21:23] <wasutton3_> do scripts inside "/etc/laptop-mode/batt-start" run as user or as root?
[21:23] <TheHerbert> SolarisBoy: thanks, now it works
[21:23] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: cool
[21:23] <l7> does f-spot have no concept of folders?
[21:24] <l7> it seems like you have to use tags for everything, weird
[21:24] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: now you can see the time you typed command too ;>
[21:24] <meowbuntu> but that still does not solve my cpu issues. its not even overclocked.
[21:24] <Blou_Aap> does any one get steam games to work on ubuntu
[21:24] <Blou_Aap> coz im battling
[21:24] <iceroot> Blou_Aap: yes
[21:24] <Blou_Aap> to get team fortress to work
[21:24] <vanishing> Blou_Aap: heard mw2 works
[21:24] <TheHerbert> SolarisBoy: no =)
[21:24] <Blou_Aap> it says cant create D3D device
[21:24] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: oh =(
[21:24] <donvito2> * CAN'T WRITE TO TEMP DIR
[21:24] <donvito2> than my eggdrop dont run
[21:25] <TheHerbert> maybe because my PS1 is set to PS1='\u @ \W: '
[21:25] <meowbuntu> donvito2: dont shout please
[21:25] <trism> l7: try gthumb if you want to navigate images by folder
[21:25] <iceroot> Blou_Aap: directx installed?
[21:25] <TheHerbert> yeah it's too loud
[21:25] <Blou_Aap> yes
[21:26] <SolarisBoy> PS1="$grey[$lightGreen$(date +%H%M)$grey][$UNAME_COLOR\u$grey@$purple\h$grey]$lightGrey \W $SYMBOL_COLOR$SYMBOL$none" <--my PS1
[21:27] <ikonia> histo: no, it would just send mail directly to the remote smtp relay
[21:27] <blizzkid> popey: you here?
[21:27] <popey> blizzkid: maybe :)
[21:27] <histo> ikonia: k so I would just have to update the form i'm using then.
[21:27] <blizzkid> popey: can I msg you about UDS?
[21:27] <popey> blizzkid: of course
[21:28] <histo> ikonia: all mail from the contact page would appear to come from my user.
[21:28] <ikonia> histo: just the parameters you pass to mail

[21:31] <blakkheim> nvsbl: you can't
[21:31] <vanishing> nvsbl: im afraid you cant...
[21:31] <iceroot> ghenry: nm-applet is working without problems. what about posting usefull errors/details?

[21:32] <iceroot> nvsbl: ah sorry, downgrade, didnt read
[21:32] <iceroot> Maranatha: gksudo nvidiaTABTAB  something like nvidia-x-settings
[21:32] <nvsbl> if i can't expressly downgrade, is there a proper way to go about reinstalling karmic, keeping my home partition as it is?
[21:32] <ZykoticK9> Maranatha, "gksu nvidia-settings" re-message if you get "Failed to parse" error on saving
[21:33] <Lappie> i would like to have 4 workspaces, whats the easiest way to do so
[21:33] <Maranatha> ok thanks :)
[21:33] <blakkheim> Lappie: what window manager?
[21:33] <tisepti> does anyone know how to automate iso production from a series of files with a script?
[21:33] <Lappie> compiz?
[21:33] <ghenry> iceroot blakkheim hmmm: NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth2) failed.
[21:34] <ghenry> Maybe driver
[21:34] <Maranatha> it worked TY :)
[21:34] <soreau> Lappie: You can have 4 workspaces with metacity, but you wont see too much (if any) animation when switching them
[21:34] <HorizonXP> in 9.10, how do i enable Gnome's remote desktop via SSH/command line?
[21:34] <HorizonXP> i tried gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true
[21:35] <HorizonXP> didn't seem to enable it
[21:35] <DonaldShimoda> anybody knows wich setting control the virtual terminals (that one appears with CTRL+ALT+F1 please?
[21:35] <evident> i am having a problem with my ssh-ports... I edited the ssh_config and sshd_config in my /etc/ssh and added "Port xxxx" with the port I want to use for my ssh instead of the standard port 22. After this I restarted ssh with "/etc/init.d/ssh restart". After logging out I can log in with the new port, but still also with the old one (22). Can anybody tell me how this comes? "Port 22" isnt written anywhere in my config file...
[21:35] <DonaldShimoda> stop working after upgrading my kernel to a own compiled one
[21:35] <evident> (i am having this problem on a vroot server, not a local system)
[21:35] <soreau> Lappie: If you enable visual effects, you will still have only 2 workspaces per ubuntu default. And please dont pm me
[21:35] <soreau> ! pm | Lappie
[21:36] <Lappie> sorry i just ment to direct it to u
[21:36] <Lappie> not msg it to u

[21:36] <Damo> hey
[21:36] <ikonia> !u | Lappie
[21:36] <soreau> Lappie: In any event, compiz supports many more than 4 but you would have to set it up through ccsm
[21:36] <Damo> wats the best desktop for linu? kde, gnome or what?
[21:37] <Damo> linux\
[21:37] <ikonia> Damo: personal opinion, try them, see what you like
[21:37] <soreau> ! best | Damo
[21:37] <milos_> would removing 'devicekit-power' package be a bad idea? can't upgrade without removing it.
[21:37] <vanishing> milos_: dont remove it
[21:37] <milos_> vanishing: ok,
[21:38] <vanishing> milos_: just wait till the dependency issue sorts out
[21:38] <milos_> vanishing: I'll wait, ok
[21:38] <vanishing> milos_: btw..are you in lucid?
[21:38] <milos_> vanishing: yup
[21:38] <evident> might it be that I have two separate "instances" of ssh running? Can I find out somehow?
[21:38] <vanishing> milos_: same thing here..lol.
[21:38] <milos_> vanishing: I'm tempted with new themes
[21:38] <milos_> :)
[21:39] <vanishing> milos_: amazing ehh?
[21:39] <Lappie> hmm. i dont see any options there for it, am i lookin at the wrong thing, sys/pref/compizconfig settings manager
[21:39] <milos_> yeah

[21:40] <brettins> Hey guys, i'm having trouble with my ALSA install.  I ran apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss  to install it initially, but many directories and commands don't seem to be in place.  "alsaconf" gives command not found,     and "alsamixer" gives the message alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory. The "/proc/asound" directory that seems to be referred to does not exist.    I tried purging
[21:40] <brettins>  and then installing again but the same problems persist.
[21:40] <HorizonXP> ok, the command worked, but I can't connect; how do I change the setting to allow me to connect without prompting or password?
[21:41] <DonaldShimoda> fbianconi, tjanls
[21:41] <DonaldShimoda> thanks
[21:41] <xfact> How to recognise which KDE version is installed in my Ubuntu? (Karmic) Is that KDE 4.3 or 4.4?
[21:42] <wasutton3_> how do i run a script when i unplug my laptop?
[21:42] <jordy240> hey does anyone knwo how I can setup a webcam so it only records when there is motion?
[21:43] <Ganymede> xfact, "dpkg -l | grep kde" maybe
[21:43] <Ganymede> xfact, i'm on karmic and i see: 4.3.2
[21:43] <kamil> halo
[21:44] <histo> ikonia: I found a solution. postfix is overkill btw
[21:44] <Lappie> i am using ccsm 0.8.2 if this helps any
[21:44] <xfact> Ganymede, Yup, thanks
[21:44] <histo> ikonia: esmtp, ssmtp, nullmailer all will accomplish what I want with out a full MTA. These are just MSA's
[21:44] <wasutton3_> how do i run a program (that normally needs sudo) as a regular user?
[21:45] <kamil> siema
[21:45] <vanishing> wasutton3_: take off sudo
[21:45] <Guest46893> hola
[21:45] <kamil> co tam ??
[21:45] <Lappie> i do see number of desktops under the desktop size tab in general options, but it says 1, and i already have 2
[21:45] <Guest46893> hola e donde son
[21:46] <wasutton3_> vanishing: no i mean a script that requires root priviliges to normally run i.e. cpufreq-selector
[21:46] <Lappie> and i cannot change that number
[21:46] <David-T> wasutton3_: you can either: a) run it as root; b) run it from a regular user using sudo; c) run it as a regular user (without using sudo); d) run it as a regular user with fakeroot.  Whether any of these actually does what you want depends on what you're trying to do
[21:46] <vanishing> wasutton3_: oh that..
[21:46] <vanishing> wasutton3_: so you want to change cup freq without typing in a password?
[21:47] <David-T> ah. then you probably either want to configure sudo to let you run that without a password, or make it setuid root and executable only by a group
[21:48] <wasutton3_> vanishing: yep thats the idea. ideally automatically when the charger is unplugged
[21:48] <Lappie> do i need to set the number of workspaces with gconfigtool-2?
[21:48] <vanishing> wasutton3_: try this: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/10/how-to-disable-disable-cpu-frequency.html
[21:48] <evident> how do i remove a folder that is not empty?
[21:48] <vanishing> wasutton3_: if that doesnt work, try this: http://linux.aldeby.org/do-not-require-the-password-for-cpu-frequency-scaling-in-ubuntu-karmic-9-10.html
[21:49] <wasutton3_> vanishing: that would work, except im looking for it to run at its lowest on battery and maximum when plugged in
[21:49] <eklof> I tested booting the ubuntu install cd on the macbook after partitioning a fat-partition using bootcamp, and the auto-suggestion said it detected mac os x and the choosen option was to install them side by side and choosing at startup. but what does it do? Does it try to install grub and would that work, or will it install the bootloader in the partition and let me use bootcamp to choose linux at startup? Anyone tried.
[21:50] <donvito2> how to make a folder readable and writable
[21:50] <vanishing> wasutton3_: oh...ugh...that maybe require some tweaking with scripts...

[21:51] <wasutton3_> vanishing: i know, thats not the problem. the problem is where do i put them, and do they run as root or as the regular user?
[21:52] <ghenry> iceroot: blakkheim Nothing wrong with nm after all ;-)
[21:52] <ghenry> cheers all
[21:52] <iceroot> ghenry: as i said, nm-applet is working :)

[21:52] <ghenry> iceroot: heh, aye.
[21:52] <vanishing> wasutton3_: ugh...if you follow that post, you might not need sudo..

[22:01] <bjhaid> how do i create a root account on my ubunut machine?
[22:01] <Warp4> bjhaid use 'passwd root'
[22:01] <Warp4> bjhaid rather 'sudo passwd root'
[22:01] <erUSUL> !undelete | sharperguy
[22:02] <revelnick> Warp4 Ubuntu LTS
[22:02] <sharperguy> erUSUL, thanks
[22:02] <Warp4> revelnick same thing
[22:02] <erUSUL> !rootpassword | Warp4
[22:02] <Warp4> revelnick the root account is there, just no password
[22:02] <Warp4> i know that erUSUL
[22:02] <seanbrystone_> how do i mount a windows share? (its not really windows its my other Ubuntu thats in the other room)
[22:02] <bjhaid> thanks Warp4
[22:02] <Lappie> one last question for the day from me i have the cube thingy checked in ccsm, how do i use it?
[22:03] <erUSUL> Warp4: then why are you suggesting here to enable the root accaunt?. that is an unsupported configuration
[22:03] <blakkheim> erUSUL: he was just answering someone's question
[22:03] <Warp4> erUSUL i was simply answering his question as direct as possible
[22:03] <erUSUL> seanbrystone_: Places>Network>windows Network
[22:03] <revelnick> warp4, i'm asking a different question
[22:03] <xnt14> I'm trying to load glx on my Nvidia G105M, I can login, but when I run glxinfo in a terminal, the computer freezes. How do I fix this?
[22:03] <bjhaid> erUSUL how do i create a root account then?
[22:04] <Warp4> yes, revelnick?
[22:04] <luxii> hi
[22:04] <erUSUL> bjhaid: you do not need one.
[22:04] <Lappie> i want to be able to zoom out to the cube just like the youtube vid and the website shows, how do i do this?
[22:04] <CairoUser> I don't know if this is the place to ask but, does anyone know how to move Cairo dock out from under the bottom taskbar?
[22:04] <Warp4> bjhaid the account exists already
[22:04] <bad_cables> hi
[22:04] <blakkheim> "how do i..?" "you don't need.." :/
[22:04] <genii> bjhaid: Keep in mind ubuntu is laid out in a way to use sudo always for admin tasks and not to be needing root account or password for anything. Also we do not support ubuntu which the user is running as root
[22:04] <bad_cables> my hard disk won't boot ubuntu
[22:04] <revelnick> trying to add a user with a user name that was previously used, and i am not prompted to enter details for the new user
[22:04] <Warp4> revelnick that's right
[22:05] <bad_cables> it was working 100% with 9.04 and now it just boots to a shell
[22:05] <Warp4> revelnick what parameters are you passing with the adduser?
[22:05] <revelnick> just a name
[22:05] <luxii> Do I live in inlaterra and you?
[22:05] <Warp4> revelnick thats correct
[22:05] <blakkheim> !ot | luxii
[22:05] <revelnick> so removing a user doesn't remove a user then, it just disables the user?
[22:06] <bjhaid> genii I am trying to create a file in my etc account, created it with touch on my terminal but it would not allow me save since sudo does not have the roots permission outside the terminal
[22:06] <bad_cables> !hard disk
[22:06] <seanbrystone> erUSUL, i cant seem to mount the share, ive gone to the folder in nautilus but it refuses to let me mount it
[22:06] <luxii> my name  is Luxi
[22:06] <Warp4> revelnick depends on what you specify on the userdel command line
[22:06] <Warp4> if you dont specify the option, it removes them from the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files
[22:06] <bad_cables> what does it mean when you just see the logo and then you get a busybox shell?
[22:06] <Warp4> bad_cables it means ruh roh :)
[22:06] <Warp4> bad_cables esp if you just booted the machine :)
[22:06] <bad_cables> mechanical or software?
[22:06] <revelnick> warp4, thanks, i'll try to furthur delete the old user
[22:06] <erUSUL> bad_cables: probably unable to mount the root device for some reason
[22:07] <genii> bjhaid: Use sudo -i      or sudo -l                    then after whatever commands use "exit"
[22:07] <luxii> hi
[22:07] <erUSUL> bad_cables: if you do crtl + D in the busybox shell does the machine continue booting?
[22:07] <luxii> hellooo
[22:07] <bad_cables> no idea
[22:07] <mcdermott> hello
[22:07] <sharperguy> I don't understand how testdisk can have so many different filesystems but no option for ext2/3...
[22:07] <mcdermott> i installed wine

[22:07] <bjhaid> i dont get you genii, i created a conf file, want to add a text to it and save, how do i do that
[22:08] <bad_cables> should i download a new boot CD?
[22:08] <mcdermott> how do i run software now that it shows the game on the desktop as a dvd
[22:08] <histo> Can you do a server install from the mini.iso?
[22:08] <luxii> Your can you speak Spanish?
[22:08] <mcdermott> i clicked on setup
[22:08] <mcdermott> but nothing is happening
[22:08] <genii> luxii: The spanish channel is #ubuntu-es   this is the english channel
[22:08] <seanbrystone> how hard can it be to share a folder from one Ubuntu to the next, and both ubuntu's are 9.10!
[22:08] <CairoUser> so far for Cairo Docks position I've only found how to move it left and right.
[22:08] <erUSUL> seanbrystone: what error do you get?

[22:10] <histo> seanbrystone: when you double click it you get an error?
[22:10] <CairoUser> ok. I found how to move the Cairo Dock vertical :)
[22:10] <histo> seanbrystone: or are you trying to mount from terminal?
[22:10] <genii> luxii: Use spanish in #ubuntu-es and use english in #ubuntu
[22:10] <seanbrystone> histo double click
[22:11] <histo> seanbrystone: what is the error you are getting
[22:11] <seanbrystone> do i need samba?
[22:11] <histo> seanbrystone: depends if you created a samba share then you atleast need smbfs on the client
[22:11] <seanbrystone> Unable to mount location, file doesnt exist
[22:11] <seanbrystone> oh
[22:11] <seanbrystone> well ubuntu wouldnt let me share without installing samba
[22:12] <seanbrystone> which i find odd
[22:12] <histo> seanbrystone: sry smbclient
[22:12] <revelnick> Warp4, i was confusing useradd with adduser :) thanks for the help
[22:12] <seanbrystone> k on sec histo
[22:12] <Warp4> revelnick sure thing
[22:12] <histo> seanbrystone:You can share without samba but the default sharing is with samba I believe
[22:13] <seanbrystone> histo it says its the newest, already installed
[22:13] <histo> seanbrystone: jsut intsall smbclient
[22:13] <Warp4> anyone else running OpenVPN AS with Ubuntu Server 9.1 by any chance?
[22:13] <histo> seanbrystone: open a terminal and try to mount it manually
[22:13] <erUSUL> seanbrystone: any ore luck if you use Places>connect to Server ?
[22:13] <luxii> So(Then,Since) not because the Spanish the best not as the Englishman and you do not put with those of Spain please!!
[22:14] <mcdermott> ive downloaded WINE..... I have a game I would like to PLAY.... how do I install something with WINE???
[22:14] <histo> seanbrystone: sudo mkdir /mnt/share && sudo mount -t cifs //ip_of_server/folder_name /mnt/share
[22:14] <histo> mcdermott: you can double click on the setup exe and tell it to open with wine
[22:15] <histo> mcdermott: or you can open a terminal and wine name_of_file.exe
[22:15] <mcdermott> great thanx
[22:15] <oranosx> hey, can anyone tell me how to play sound through headphones/external speakers in Karmic?
[22:15] <luxii> yo hablo español
[22:15] <mcdermott> now i need to get some more ram to play
[22:15] <histo> mcdermott: more help in #winehq
[22:15] <histo> mcdermott: what game?
[22:15] <seanbrystone> ursul it wants a domain and password, how do i find domain name?
[22:15] <root_> hi all
[22:16] <mcdermott> CrimeCraft
[22:16] <mcdermott> free to play
[22:16] <mcdermott> fps mmo
[22:16] <SolarisBoy> seanbrystone: thats the domain name to whichever host sits that owns the share
[22:16] <seanbrystone> ok so whats the command to get the domain name?
[22:16] <SolarisBoy> it may be using WORKGROUP model as well
[22:17] <histo> mcdermott: if you meet system specs for it you should be okay.
[22:17] <SolarisBoy> you would need to know which type of setup is on the windows side
[22:17] <seanbrystone> no its not windows
[22:17] <tunai> i somehos muted voices and cant find how to un mute
[22:18] <SolarisBoy> seanbrystone: and if the share is user/password protected and under active directory you need an account with permissions and need to know the domain name...you may be able to smbscan the network and find something out..
[22:20] <blakkheim> thank you for fixing that
[22:20] <blakkheim> :/
[22:20] <bazhang> heh
[22:20] <blakkheim> genii: you banned everyone

[22:21] <AndyGraybeal> is there anyway i can lock the desktop in such a way that nobody can add a directory or edit the names of the directories that are currently there?  i want them to be able to edit files inside the directories that are there though.
[22:21] <AndyGraybeal> i just want the desktop locked down.
[22:23] <Andy80> a GRUB question: suppose I've Ubuntu 9.04 running with / in a partition. Suppose that I've another Ubuntu version on another partition but Ubuntu 9.04 doesn't have it in menu.lst, what is the safest/easiest way to make the second installation available in the other grub menu?
[22:23] <genii> blakkheim: Yes the shortcut I use for ban made no value for the user "luxii" when i used it since they had left, so having no value there it went global values
[22:24] <lnkgyv> hello
[22:24] <genii> blakkheim: Sorted out now
[22:24] <nwillems> Can anybody help me with finding my way around bugzilla?
[22:24] <histo> Can you install a server from the mini.iso ?
[22:24] <jileen> hello
[22:25] <erUSUL> histo: probably
[22:25] <thoma323> ciao
[22:25] <thoma323> !lista
[22:25] <thoma323> !bot
[22:26] <GeekSquid> Nwillems: ubuntu uses launchpad.net for bug reporting, bugzilla is not for ubuntu projects, and is not supported here
[22:26] <oranosx> can anyone help me with getting my headphones to work?
[22:27] <oranosx> that is, have Ubuntu play to them?
[22:27] <nwillems> GeekSquid, well I thought maybee this active channel could help me out - can you point me in any direction? I'm looking to learn how to use it as a developer, and while learning trying to fix some bugs in tomcat
[22:27] <lnkgyv> why in kubuntu, when I set use proxy server for konqueror and then disable this (use direct connect) the package updater for download new packages (all do in gui) still use proxy and then give error: cannot connect to .... that is my proxy?
[22:27] <r3c4ll_> somebody with experience in libvirt?
[22:27] <r3c4ll_> using bridges?
[22:27] <r3c4ll_> no NAT
[22:28] <Altreus> Hey, where do I change the default terminal shell?
[22:28] <rohith>   Installed Ubuntu via WUBI, uninstalled using WUBI. A large portion of my hard drive is still being used
[22:28] <GeekSquid> Nwillems: this channel is only active bc ubuntu is a popular distro... #tomcat would be a better place for uour subject
[22:29] <lnkgyv> ssory, my distib is Kubuntu Karmic 9.10
[22:29] <r3c4ll_> nobody has using libvirt, virt-manager?
[22:30] <nwillems> GeekSquid, sadly that is not a very active channel, thats why I asked here secondly, tried tomcat first
[22:30] <vhann> Hi, I can't find how to get the system to ask users to change their password on first login (Ubuntu 9.10 using gdm + gnome)
[22:30] <erUSUL> Altreus: run « chsh »
[22:31] <Altreus> danke
[22:31] <vhann> Anybody knows if it is at all possible?
[22:31] <Jordan> HELP :O
[22:32] <vhann> Oh
[22:32] <bazhang> Jordan, with what
[22:32] <Guest61529> ok so exim4 is sending a mail through gmail every 5 secconds because of my crons
[22:32] <vhann> it's in passwd manpage, sorry all
[22:32] <Altreus> erUSUL: Do you know when this takes effect? A new terminal is not using it. Do I have to close all terminals?
[22:32] <Guest61529> Bazhang: ok so exim4 is sending a mail through gmail every 5 secconds because of my crons
[22:32] <erUSUL> Altreus: log out and log in
[22:32] <Altreus> erUSUL: of Gnome?
[22:32] <Jordan123> So therefore my gmail gets banned.
[22:32] <erUSUL> Altreus: yes of your session
[22:32] <GeekSquid> Nwillems: many participants in this channel are new to linux, others are just reading so they can learn, and still others are here to help, I'm pretty certain there aren't any tomcat SME
[22:32] <Jordan123> because of stupid smtp limits.
[22:33] <Altreus> erUSUL: Thanks, will do
[22:33] <erUSUL> Jordan123: configure exim to send email only once in a while (i guess it is possible)
[22:33] <SolarisBoy> erUSUL: shouldn't he check the crontab?
[22:34] <Jordan123> See the cron results get sent to root@localhost
[22:34] <Jordan123> *root@server
[22:34] <erUSUL> Jordan123: i thought he really wanted that  mail to go out
[22:34] <Jordan123> I don't want the crons going out
[22:34] <SolarisBoy> Jordan123: is localhost exim?
[22:34] <Jordan123> localhost exim?
[22:34] <SolarisBoy> Jordan123: is exim relaying mail to gmail?
[22:34] <econdude> Howdy!
[22:34] <Jordan123> yes.
[22:34] <Jordan123> SolarisBoy: Yes.
[22:34] <SolarisBoy> Jordan123: so check cron
[22:34] <Jordan123> check cron for what?
[22:35] <econdude> Can anyone recommend a Linux-native XLS password remover? I created a sheet this morning and forgot the password :-X
[22:35] <SolarisBoy> Jordan123: do you have an entry that sends mail each 5 seconds?
[22:35] <Jordan123> no
[22:35] <Jordan123> it sends what happens on my otehr crons
[22:35] <erUSUL> econdude: this morning... not even last week ;P
[22:35] <Jordan123> say i have a cron for sphinx it sends one that says that it works.
[22:35] <Jordan123> So basicly
[22:35] <Jordan123> It sends a mail to root@server
[22:35] <Jordan123> As in it wants to send mail to root@server
[22:35] <SolarisBoy> Jordan123: well you can remove the MAILTO= line in crontab to i believe
[22:36] <Jordan123> I don't have a mailto line in crontab.
[22:36] <econdude> erUSUL: I agree! Pathetic :-( Now I'm stuck tho. I saved it as XLS from OO.Org, and completely forgot it
[22:36] <SolarisBoy> hm
[22:36] <erUSUL> econdude: sorry i do not know of such a tool ...
[22:36] <Altreus> Success. Thakns :)
[22:37] <lnkgyv> how stop periodic sending system email to root@localhost, admin@localhost?
[22:37] <Jordan123> wait
[22:37] <Naruto> i can't watch video on my navigator , please help me
[22:37] <Jordan123> wtf where is crontab config
[22:38] <econdude> Does anyone else know of a usable tool?
[22:38] <SolarisBoy> crontab -e
[22:39] <defsdoor> are they any know issues with apt segfaulting atm in lucid ?
[22:39] <wcdl> how to watch quicktime videos ?
[22:39] <bazhang> defsdoor, lucid support in #ubuntu+1
[22:39] <psycho_oreos> !lucid | defsdoor
[22:39] <GeekSquid> !lucid
[22:39] <defsdoor> sorry - just read subject :)
[22:40] <psycho_oreos> wcdl, you need quicktime codec
[22:40] <wcdl> on ubuntu
[22:40] <tere> ola
[22:40] <HSorgYves> morning; is there a command to set the permissions to 777 for folders and 666 for files recursively?
 on ubuntu
[22:40] <tere> aaaaaaaaaaaaa+
[22:40] <psycho_oreos> yes on ubuntu, it might be in w32codec
[22:40] <erUSUL> !es | testi_
[22:41] <wcdl> already have w32codecs and all codecs u can imagine
[22:41] <erUSUL> testi_: sorry; tab completion mistake
[22:41] <wcdl> and using geckomediaplayer
[22:41] <SolarisBoy> HSorgYves: yes chmod -R
[22:41] <wcdl> but nothing
[22:41] <psycho_oreos> wcdl, tried playing it through vlc?
 i'm sorry, is on webbrowsers
[22:42] <HSorgYves> SolarisBoy: chmod -R doesn't make a difference between folders/files; if i use "chmod -R 777 folder" then everything will be 777 even my files which should be 666
[22:42] <bazhang> wcdl, apple trailers?
[22:42] <wcdl> yes
[22:42] <bazhang> you need to wget them iirc
[22:43] <Jordan123> Guys
[22:43] <SolarisBoy> oh sorry i didn't notice you said _AND_
[22:43] <Jordan123> I added the mailto thing and it still sends stuff
[22:43] <wcdl> let me test
[22:43] <Jordan123> test what?
[22:44] <psycho_oreos> wcdl, which browser, firefox?
[22:44] <unop> HSorgYves,  find /path/to/dir -type d -exec chmod 777 {} +  ;  find /path/to/dir -type f -exec chmod 666 {} +
[22:44] <wcdl> firefox google-chrome
[22:44] <rohith> I have Installed Ubuntu via WUBI, I uninstalled Ubuntu using WUBI. Now when i boot up i automatically go into windows
[22:44] <rohith> My Problemm
[22:44] <rohith> All of my files on my hard drive add up to 16gig(i did this by hand)
[22:44] <rohith>  but my computer says im using 23gig(right clicked and went to properties on the C drive)
[22:44] <FloodBot1> rohith: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:44] <wcdl> chromium
[22:44] <HSorgYves> unop: thx
[22:44] <SolarisBoy> unop: =)
[22:44] <nicolas> hi everyone i got problem to install farsight 2 someone can help me ^
[22:44] <nicolas> ?
[22:45] <bazhang> nicolas, windows game?
[22:45] <superfirelord42> rohith: did you empty your recycler bin?
[22:45] <unop> HSorgYves, or ... chmod -R 666 /path/to/dir;  chmod -R +X /path/to/dir
[22:45] <psycho_oreos> chromium isn't officially supported here, so I'll support firefox, if you check about:plugins you'll see there should be entries pointing towards totem/divx and if you installed mplayer along with the firefox plugin you'll also get mplayer support in firefox
[22:45] <nicolas> bazhang:  no its the add on for audio/video in amsn you need this to get it work
[22:46] <hiexpo> good afternoon eveyone
[22:46] <nicolas> configure: error: Need libnice >= 0.0.9 i got this when i try  to install farsight2
[22:46] <Jordan123> woot
[22:46] <superfirelord42> !private | rohith
[22:46] <Jordan123> I used the dev null code and it wrote it there
[22:47] <rohith> ah.. my bad.. im like a super noob
[22:47] <superfirelord42> rohith: no major prob, reason is twofold, one is so if someone gives absolutly horrible advice, others can hopefully stop them from killing a computer
[22:48] <Kangarooo> i know i can output a command to file like command > textfile also theres pastebinit witch upload output to pastebin.com like command | pastebinit but can i output to launchpad ?
[22:48] <bazhang> Kangarooo, for bugs?
[22:49] <rohith> I emptied the recycle bin.. There was only 1mb of stuff in there
[22:49] <superfirelord42> rohith: reading where wubi stores stuff, hold on
[22:49] <rohith> alright.. Thanks
[22:49] <superfirelord42> rohith: i assume you did the uninstall from the Add/Remove programs. What version windows did you install wubi on?
[22:50] <Kangarooo> bazhang: for example in LP bug report someone ask me to do some command. i can do command and output paste to bug or output make to file and upload file. but easyr would be like command | ubuntu-bug bugnumber or just command | ubuntu-bug and in LP i would search the bug i want the files to be added to.
[22:50] <Paineless> i need a USB Driver for my blackberry in Ubuntu
[22:50] <superfirelord42> rohith: check for a c:\ubuntu folder, unless you did a non-standard install
[22:51] <rohith> Windows XP Home Edition... I deleted that file
[22:51] <hiexpo> nicolas, sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.1600.3 glib
[22:51] <nicolas> hiexpo:  its ok i got it but now its gstreamer lol
[22:52] <superfirelord42> rohith: you deleted the file after you ran the uninstaller?
[22:52] <hiexpo> ok
[22:52] <rohith> Yes
[22:52] <superfirelord42> hmm, strange that it would leave the file there after the uninstall...
[22:53] <bazhang> Kangarooo, not certain there, especially as you have to have a launchpad account and be logged in to respond, as far as I know
[22:53] <nicolas> hiexpo:  ok i got it to work but now its python
[22:53] <rohith> I uninstalled via an .exe file called ubuntu-uninstall not the add remove programs
[22:53] <superfirelord42> rohith: is it still in your add/remove programs? thats the recommended removal technique
[22:53] <rohith> I deleted the files my self after i ran the un-installer
[22:54] <pilotbubbles> if someone could PM me about setting up the M Audio KeyStudio 49 USB for playback under audacity or ardour you would be the man or woman
[22:54] <rohith> Im checking the list is being populated
[22:55] <brokenbeat> .I just found a PD external to control jack transport.
[22:55] <rohith> Ubuntu is gone from the list
[22:55] <superfirelord42> rohith: do you see a c:\wubildr?
[22:56] <abo> when I'm watching youtube (or other streaming) how can I make the screen not dim and switch off?
[22:56] <rohith> No... but saw that file before i ran the un-installer
[22:56] <HSorgYves> unop: even better, thx
[22:56] <superfirelord42> rohith: those are where it saves stuff, hold on one more second...
[22:57] <rohith> sure
[22:57] <Kangarooo> bazhang: yes of course i need to be loged in. but so now there isnt such command like pastebinit only for launchpad ?
[22:57] <superfirelord42> rohith: thats a clean install, the only explanation i can think of could be NTFS corruption. this can be caused by improper shutdown on the computer
[22:58] <bazhang> Kangarooo, not to my knowledge, at least regarding pastebinit
[22:58] <superfirelord42> rohith: to fix this, you need to have to have windows run a chkdsk /r, generally it will ask you to do a boot time scan. do so. when it is done, it may have a large file or two in the recovered folder, or you may just have accurate free space. either way, it should fix it.
[22:58] <rohith> Alright.. Do you think Ubuntu un-installed completely?
[22:59] <ambit> is there a way to jump from hardy (8.04) to karmic from through an upgrade?
[22:59] <Ganymede> does anyone know of a fuse filesystem that mounts not one tar/rar/7z/zip archive but mirrors a directory and expands all archives into browseable folders?
[22:59] <superfirelord42> rohith: yes, unless you still see an option to boot into ubuntu when you start, it is completely removed. i hope you install a ubuntu sometime again. I like it at least. :P
[22:59] <rohith> Yea.. im going to install it again
[23:00] <GeekSquid> Kangarooo: pastebin.com changed their api, so change /usr/bin/pastebinit default pastebin to pastebin.ca.. fixes it
[23:00] <bazhang> ambit, not to karmic but to Lucid once its released
[23:00] <rohith> I corrupeted the xorg.conf file.. so im re-installing. Thank You so much for your help :)
[23:01] <ambit> bazhang: so i have to do a fresh install to get karmic
[23:01] <superfirelord42> rohith: no prob, make sure you get the size stuff with ntfs worked out before re-install. i am pretty sure ntfs is corrupt.
[23:01] <bazhang> ambit, or do a multi version upgrade path
[23:01] <serverduck> Is there a program on ubuntu that can give me the coords on a gif file for an image map?
[23:01] <ambit> bazhang: im just going to do a fresh install cause im lazy, thanks
[23:02] <nicolas> No package 'pygobject-2.0' how i can find or install this ? thanks
[23:02] <bazhang> ambit, you dont have a separate home partition by chance?
[23:02] <ischliky> ive noticed that in the current ubuntu it supports wallpaper groups that swap over time, anyone know where i can look on info on where to get more or make my own? there seems to be no documentation on what is doing it
[23:02] <cousteau> is there a way to make UNR boot faster? right now it's slow as hell
[23:03] <cousteau> (1 minute or so)
[23:03] <trism> nicolas: it is in python-gobject
[23:03] <ardchoille> nicolas: apt-cache search python | grep gobject
[23:03] <wad> How much disk space does the normal Ubuntu 9.10 require?
[23:03] <nicolas> ok thanks i found it with that really apreciate
[23:03] <ardchoille> yw
[23:04] <Paineless> i need a USB Driver for my blackberry in Ubuntu
[23:04] <ardchoille> nicolas: you can also narrow your search down to filter only package names: apt-cache search -n python | grep gobject
[23:04] <nicolas> ok
[23:04] <nicolas> No package 'gst-python-0.10' found this is the same for this one ^
[23:04] <nicolas> ?
[23:05] <ambit> bazhang: no, its my moms work pc and she needs an upgrade, im home for a little bit and was looking for a quick fix to upgrade
[23:05] <Paineless> i need a USB Driver for my blackberry in Ubuntu. I tried installing "Barry" but cant seem to figure it out

[23:05] <rohith> Is 3D graphics acceleration supported by 9.10... for ATI cards?
[23:05] <blakkheim> rohith: ati support in linux is not very good
[23:05] <soreau> rohith: Yes.
[23:05] <MindVirus> Whenever I kill maximus, some daemon restarts it. Can someone help me find the root of this?
[23:05] <ardchoille> nicolas: apt-cache search -n python | grep gst
[23:06] <bazhang> Paineless, you mean barry-util ?
[23:06] <wcdl> installed totem-mozilla but still can't watch videos on www.apple.com/trailers... any help?
[23:06] <bazhang> wcdl, right, you need to wget them
[23:06] <rohith> How do you enable it.. I was trying before.. and i corrupted my xorg.conf file
[23:07] <wcdl> bazhang: how?
[23:07] <Paineless> bazhang~ umm.. :P maybe ?
[23:07] <wcdl> wget www.google.com/trailers/......?
[23:07] <bazhang> Paineless, apt-cache search barry for the packages, or check in synaptic package manager
[23:07] <Heimdall> Hello, someone in here knows Perl and xChat ? :P
[23:07] <soreau> rohith: All radeon cards from the old 7000 to the r5xx series cards have 3D support OOTB on 9.10 with the open radeon driver. In Lucid, it will also have 3D support for hd2-4xxx cards as well. Alternatively, there is the proprietary fglrx driver that only supports hd2-4xxx
[23:08] <iceroot> Heimdall: #perl #xchat
[23:08] <soreau> rohith: Which card do you have?
[23:08] <jileen> what is the best irc client for ubuntu ?
[23:08] <rohith> I had 8.something... and let me check
[23:08] <Heimdall> iceroot, thx =)
[23:08] <bazhang> jileen, no best, matter of opinion

[23:08] <iceroot> !bug | waltercool
[23:08] <iceroot> waltercool: also use #ubuntu+1
[23:08] <bazhang> waltercool, lucid support in #ubuntu+1
[23:09] <waltercool> thanks
[23:09] <jileen> bazhang what irc client do you use ?
[23:09] <lantizia> Does anyone else get an issue where the window manager drags the wrong window around (i.e. not the one you selected?)

[23:09] <rohith> ATI Mobility radeon x300
[23:10] <lantizia> decto, I think it's only when visual settings is set to None
[23:10] <soreau> ! who | rohith
[23:11] <lantizia> decto, say you've had firefox full screen on 1 screen, and VLC full screen on another... you go for drag VLC down (so it restores from maximized) and instead your cursor jumps over to firefox
[23:11] <soreau> rohith: The fglrx driver does not support that card on 9.10. You will have to use the open radeon driver, which should have already been working
[23:11] <Paineless> bazhang~ ok, its installed. now what
[23:11] <claws> i Have now...problems launching ksnake... it say something about child process. any qlue ?
[23:11] <rohith> soreau:  ATI Mobility radeon x300
[23:12] <soreau> rohith: Are you trying to run a specific program that requires direct rendering?
[23:12] <bazhang> Paineless, its a command line utility, perhaps it has a help file or a manual page (no blackberry here, sorry not help more)
[23:12] <rohith> No.. I was trying to get desktop effects working..
[23:12] <Paineless> bazhang~ np thanks
[23:13] <datz> Hi, just coming back to confirm that apt-get update didn't install kernel updates... was talking to chili(something) yesterday
[23:13] <soreau> rohith: Did you install or attempt to install fglrx at any point on this install?
[23:13] <blakkheim> datz: apt-get doesn't upgrade anything
[23:13] <blakkheim> datz: apt-get update doesn't upgrade anything
[23:13] <rohith>  soreau: No it came installed with it.. But it still wouldnt let me use the effect
[23:13] <SomeoneE1se> how do I enable bluetooth for my user?  if I run bluetooth* as root it works but if I run it as a my user it can't find or interact with any other devices
[23:13] <datz> sorry upgrade*
[23:14] <blakkheim> datz: sudo aptitude full-upgrade
[23:14] <jileen> i just installed ubuntu karmic on a acer aspire one eeepc (intel GM945 video card) and the display is very bad, how i can do to have better display ?
[23:14] <soreau> rohith: 9.10 does not come with fglrx pre-installed
[23:14] <datz> blakkheim: that will install kernel updates?
[23:14] <blakkheim> datz: that will install all available upgradess
[23:14] <esref> yes
[23:14] <claws> i Have now...problems launching ksnake... it say something about child process. any qlue ??
[23:14] <MindVirus> Whenever I kill maximus, some daemon restarts it. Can someone help me find the root of this?
[23:15] <hyraxes> how do I edit a 3G connection in hardy? thanks
[23:15] <rohith> hummm.. i had a old install disk with like 8 dot some thing... I click upgrade
[23:15] <claws> for those who dont know...ksnake is a game
[23:15] <soreau> rohith: Can you pastebin the output of 'compiz &' from your terminal to pastebin.com?
[23:15] <claws> its a snake like game
[23:15] <datz> blakkheim: cool. I actually like the fact that there is full-upgrade, and upgrade. :)  But what will happen if I let kernel updates pile up? Can I install the lastest one without installing the ones I missed?
[23:15] <claws> and it wont start
[23:15] <abo> when I'm watching youtube (or other streaming) how can I make the screen not dim and switch off?
[23:16] <claws> because...its not able to launch child process
[23:16] <rohith> My ubuntu crashed.. im on windows..
[23:16] <claws> now how do i get pass that
[23:16] <claws> do i need to turn something on ?
[23:16] <claws> or....
[23:17] <claws> i need to turn of some kind of child filtering stuff
[23:17] <soreau> rohith: Then there's not much I can help you with. My recommendation would be to install a recent version of ubuntu fresh
[23:17] <njbair> have any issues come up recently with nvidia drivers? Mine stopped working out of the blue this week.
[23:17] <soreau> rohith: Compiz should work even on a live cd of 9.10 with your card
[23:18] <soreau> rohith: out of the box, without installing any driver (it's already installed)
[23:18] <claws> so...nobody knows anything about child process ?
[23:18] <rohith> Alright... How can i create a partion.. (Last time installed within windows lots of issues)
[23:18] <datz> abo: try : SYstem -> Preferences -> Screensaver
[23:18] <claws> is it by default or......
[23:18] <sonywaperita> olaa
[23:19] <datz> !spanish

[23:19] <silentx> hey ..
[23:19] <datz> !portuguese
[23:19] <soreau> rohith: First thing would be to get a recent version of ubuntu booting through cd or usb
[23:19] <python> claws, what are you referring to?
[23:19] <sonywaperita> español??
[23:19] <datz> no, english
[23:19] <sonywaperita> ok
[23:19] <rohith> I got that.. I have the latest version on Ubuntu on a cd..
[23:20] <fbianconi> !es | sonywaperita
[23:20] <sonywaperita> i dont sepeking english very well
[23:20] <heroin> wc
[23:20] <Paineless> ok, so i installed barry-util, anyone know how to use it command line ?
[23:22] <silentx> i'm testing ... :#
[23:22] <rohith> soreau: I already have new version on Ubuntu on a CD
[23:22] <Adross> is there a way to disable a view if the result is going to be empty?
[23:22] <j3rg> hey anyone uses kismet
[23:22] <claws> python: ksnake... the game... i downloaded it.. tried to start. but it say's "Failed to execute child process 'ktron' (no such file or directory "
[23:22] <sonywaperita> español??
[23:23] <sonywaperita> spanish???
[23:23] <cousteau> sonywaperita: entra en #ubuntu-es
[23:23] <blakkheim> sonywaperita: english only
[23:23] <cousteau> escribe:   /join #ubuntu-es
[23:23] <python> claws: do you have ktron installed?
[23:24] <soreau> rohith: Ok, so boot it and start installing it. When you get to the partitioning section, just install over your old ubuntu install
[23:24] <claws> python: let me check that out
[23:24] <Paineless> ok, so i installed barry-util, anyone know how to use it command line ? trying to use my blackberry in ubuntu
[23:24] <danial> how do we install bin file in ubuntu 9.10
[23:25] <rohith> soreau: I had a single partition... I installed with in windows
[23:25] <SomeoneE1se> is there a way to enable a non root user to use the bluetooth device or do I need to run the programs as root?
[23:25] <jileen> i just installed ubuntu karmic on a acer aspire one eeepc (intel GM945 video card) and the display is very bad, how i can do to have better display ?
[23:26] <CyberGabber> Paineless: Try in terminal:  man barry-util
[23:27] <chelz> two more months!
[23:27] <histo> IS there still a server kernel in 9.10?
[23:27] <Paineless> CyberGabber~ No manual entry for barry-util
[23:27] <soreau> rohith: Ah well that just means you'll have slower more problematic linux
[23:27] <blakkheim> Paineless: dpkg -S barry-util | grep man
[23:28] <soreau> rohith: Just uninstall it through windows, then install it with your live cd. It can automatically shrink your window partition and install ubuntu on an ext file system
[23:28] <Paineless> blakkheim~ ok it just went to the next prompt
[23:28] <histo> nvm I found it.
[23:28] <histo> pae
[23:28] <blakkheim> Paineless: then i don't think there is any manpages included with it
[23:29] <Paineless> blakkheim~ Barry is a GPL C++ library for interfacing with the RIM BlackBerry Handheld
[23:29] <Paineless> blakkheim~ do you think im supposed to compile something ?
[23:29] <sebsebseb> Hi
[23:29] <marie-louise> how can i turn off the sound during booting up?
[23:30] <sebsebseb> marie-louise: system > preferences > sound and some where in there I think
[23:30] <MindVirus> Whenever I kill maximus, some daemon restarts it. Can someone help me find the root of this?
[23:31] <CyberGabber> Paineless: Maybe:  barry-util --help
[23:31] <Paineless> blakkheim~ here's the debian details site : http://packages.debian.org/sid/utils/barry-util
[23:31] <fbianconi> MindVirus, what is maximus?
[23:32] <movicont> it's in the netbook remix
[23:32] <movicont> and makes the windows maximize
[23:32] <Paineless> CyberGabber~ same "command not found"
[23:32] <marie-louise> sebsebseb: i already muted "alert volume" so i don't get any sounds while logging in, but how do i turn off the sound which comes when GDM starts up?
[23:32] <Lappie> i was here a lil ago and asked about the cube effects of ccsm, and quite obviously i did not know much about it, well, i just wondered why no body bothered to tell me that i had to hit ctrl and alt then l mouse click to see the cube?
[23:32] <rohith> soreau: I installed Ubuntu inside windows.. I have completely removed it... Im trying to re-install it on a separate partition, So I have the option to create a partition during the installation?
[23:33] <sebsebseb> marie-louise: not sure about that one, but you could change to another one that doesn't have a sound, such as KDM, the KDE one
[23:33] <soreau> rohith: Yes. in fact, ubuntu can automate this process for you and guess some good sizes based on your pc setup
[23:33] <cousteau> speaking of which, is there any work in progress for a "de-wubi" tool?
[23:34] <coldfire> Can someone help me encrypt a file? i made the key but when i right click on the file there is no enrypt option
[23:34] <Paineless> CyberGabber, blakkheim~ i looked through my /usr/bin, there is no executable for it
[23:34] <rohith> soreau: awsome.. Is this a user friendly? or should i get out an other computer while i install the it?
[23:35] <DanDare> Hello. I using Ubuntu8 Live CD to rescue some files on NTFS partition. It's _secure_ to record files on NTFS partitions in this version of Ubuntu ?
[23:35] <CyberGabber> Paineless: "command not found" ?  Type the part: barr   en press TABkey twice, does it present the tool?
[23:35] <sebsebseb> DanDare: secure?
[23:35] <Flonne> hey does anyone know if there is a way to check current upload/download speed from a terminal
[23:35] <Flonne> ?
[23:35] <Paineless> CyberGabber~ no it doesn't, there is no executable for it to present
[23:36] <DanDare> sebsebseb: Its realiable? Can I damage file system by recording/deleting files on the NTFS partition ?
[23:36] <marie-louise> sebsebseb: but i don't want to change
[23:36] <sebsebseb> DanDare: as long as your Windows install  was shut down properly,  should be no problem to access the partition using that Live CD,  and then do what you want to do with the files
[23:36] <DanDare> sebsebseb: ok thanks
[23:36] <sebsebseb> DanDare: it's fine to use  a  Ubuntu 7.10 or later  CD for what you want to do
[23:37] <DanDare> sebsebseb: I remember in the past the NTFS file system support warns you about not using it to make changes on NTFS
[23:37] <Lappie> my point is that there are many noobs that dont know much about anything linux, incl ubuntu, and some of us dont get much out of reading pages and pages of info esp when were looking for something specific, and , when learning windows i found that sometimes with (good intentions) advanced settings n things were changed w/o the person knowing what the heck they were doing, this is not a complaint or a whine, its just a suggestion
[23:37] <Lappie> , please remember to cover the basics when helping someone ok
[23:38] <sebsebseb> Lappie: I just joined here a little while ago, I wonder who all of that, was to
[23:38] <sebsebseb> marie-louise: Ok why do you  want GDM to not make any sound?
[23:39] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html Lappie here are some basics
[23:39] <marie-louise> sebsebseb: because it is annoying
[23:39] <sebsebseb> marie-louise: Are you new to Ubuntu?  Is 9.10 your first version?
[23:40] <Lappie> no on in specific, i just wanted to remind that some of us noobs arent as savy as most of the peeps here trying to help and that if they would ask some basic questions like, for me instance, do you know how to see the cube when you switch between workspaces, i would have said no
[23:40] <Lappie> but i did not know how to phrase my issue, because like i said, i am very much a noob
[23:40] <marie-louise> sebsebseb: no i have been using gentoo for the last two years, but i've never used gdm before
[23:40] <sebsebseb> marie-louise: oh
[23:40] <bazhang> Lappie, well reading the guide I linked you would eliminate many of those issues
[23:41] <sebsebseb> marie-louise: 9.10 uses a later version of GDM,  which is not that customizalbe compared to the old version.
[23:41] <aeiou> is there a guide anywhere that explains how to correctly configure a server so that its secure to give out shh access to users?
[23:41] <histo> aeiou: you can use keys or you can use fail2ban
[23:41] <histo> !ssh | aeiou
[23:41] <histo> aeiou: I like fail2ban
[23:41] <Lappie> thats all i was saying, i do believe you guys are doing a great job, and bazhang, like i said, i dont get much from reading pages and pages of info when its a totally new enviroment, like learning a new language wo learning some of the basic words n such
[23:41] <Dunkirk> marie-louise: I've been on Gentoo for the past 4 years. I, too, would like to silence GDM. Unfortunately, the gdm which ships with Ubuntu is really stripped down in the ability to configure things.
[23:42] <aeiou> histo, i meant more about securing the server, so users with access cannot destroy everything
[23:42] <bazhang> Lappie, reading is required. that is a great resource I linked you to
[23:42] <Lappie> infact, i dont even know how to pronounce ubuntu i think its u-bunt-u :)
[23:42] <marie-louise> Dunkirk: so it's impossible to mute it?!
[23:42] <marie-louise> sebsebseb: i see
[23:42] <Lappie> ty i will deff check it out, but im more of a hands on person
[23:42] <Dunkirk> marie-louise: I'm looking around in /etc/gdm...
[23:43] <fbianconi> marie-louise, http://tacticalvim.wordpress.com/2009/11/27/disable-gdm-ready-sound-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic/
[23:43] <Lappie> i crashed win 3.x millions of times, but by the time i was finished i could tell someone just about anything about it
[23:43] <rohith> soreau: Thanks for the help/info im going to re-install Ubuntu now
[23:44] <Nallep_> I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a compaq presario 900, and it loads grub but then the screen goes black and nothing happens.  How do I fix this?
[23:44] <Lappie> again, i am very greatfull of everyons help, and please keep it up,
[23:44] <kimberly> hi all
[23:44] <Younder> Nallep_, try booting into text mode
[23:44] <kimberly> anyone know of logitech webcam drivers for ubuntu?
[23:45] <fabien> Hello all
[23:45] <srinath_man> Nallep_: Recovery Mode
[23:45] <Younder> Nallep_, at the grub prompt choose edit and add a -text option
[23:45] <fabien> I use dualscreen but I have two cursors. Any idea ?
[23:45] <Younder> Nallep_, well it sound like it doesn't recognize your graphics driver
[23:46] <aeiou> are there any good ACL guides?
[23:46] <Dunkirk> marie-louise: I'm not finding anything.
[23:46] <Nallep_> ok I'm booting into recovery mode, I'm at the recovery menu
[23:46] <marie-louise> Dunkirk: hold on
[23:46] <CyberGabber> Paineless: I have no answer to your issue, but maybe you have to read this, (search for barry-util on this site): http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1265727.html
[23:46] <Younder> aeiou: ACL?
[23:46] <Dunkirk> I also note that they removed the ability to use GDM to remote-login to other systems with XDMCP (or whatever it was).
[23:46] <aeiou> access control lists
[23:47] <rohith> What version supports ati radeon mobility x300 (I want to use desktop effects)
[23:47] <aeiou> i want to setup a server that i can give ssh access to the users, but want to secure it so they arent able to trash the server
[23:47] <Dunkirk> fabien: Lucky you! Some people pay extra for that!
[23:47] <Lappie> ohh nice guide good suggestion bazhang, i just might get something out of this :)
[23:48] <Nallep_> Younder, srinath_man I have a root shell now,
[23:48] <Dunkirk> aeiou: You may be interested in rssh.
[23:48] <CyberGabber> Paineless: and this: http://www.commonitman.com/2009/12/sync-blackberry-on-ubunty-904.html
[23:48] <marie-louise> Dunkirk: http://tacticalvim.wordpress.com/2009/11/27/disable-gdm-ready-sound-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic/ this other user sent me that
[23:48] <marie-louise> fbianconi: thank you
[23:48] <fabien> Dunkirk : Okay ;) But I can's fix this small bug...
[23:49] <aeiou> Dunkirk, i want users to be able to move files, compile software etc all in their home directories
[23:49] <aeiou> just i want to secure the rest of the system - would this be possible with rssh?
[23:49] <Dunkirk> marie-louise: Way cool! Thanks for that!
[23:49] <Dunkirk> aeiou: Then that's just permissions.
[23:49] <marie-louise> Dunkirk: thank fbianconi ;)
[23:50] <rohith> What version of Ubuntu supports ati radeon mobility x300 ( I want to use desktop effects)?
[23:50] <Nallep_> how do I disable the graphics driver?
[23:50] <aeiou> Dunkirk, would ACL give me better security compared to posix?
[23:50] <Paineless> CyberGabber~ thanks
[23:51] <Dunkirk> aeiou: Well, ACL's are really complicated, and probably not worth the hassle. There's really a lot of subtle power in the standard Unix permissions.
[23:51] <Younder> aeiou: well you can chroot. also set /home and /var on seperate partions as that simplifies soe things. also set local stuff in /uer/local so it doesn't disturb the standard updates. That makes the system easier to maintain
[23:51] <dr3mro> hi please can any one help me with this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8922754
[23:51] <marie-louise> alright, goodnight Dunkirk and fbianconi!
[23:51] <Younder> aeiou: inparticular you can then easelly backup with dump
[23:52] <Dunkirk> aeiou: If you want people to be able to compile software, there's only so much "locking down" you can do, as compiling software is going to require access to lots and lots of programs, scratch space, system resources (like memory and filehandles), etc.
[23:52] <Younder> aeiou: I assume only /avr /home /usr/local are interesting to back up. Of cource you should have a ubuntu CD of your current version as well
[23:52] <Younder> var
[23:53] <Koltor> I am running the x64 version of Ubuntu 9.10. For the past 2 days(haven't installed any new programs within the same time frame). I've started to encounter problems after I lock my computer, (ctrl+alt+l), then come back and unlock it. After unlocking, I am unable to open any programs. Any ideas?
[23:53] <Younder> aeiou: Having dump on a seperate partion prevents DOS attacks from overwriting your system area if log files get really large
[23:54] <Dunkirk> aeiou: On a related idea, what about creating a virtual machine in something like KVM or VirtualBox (I use both for various things), and letting them "have at it" in the VM?
[23:54] <Younder> aeiou, also check /etc/limis for setting user quota, max processes, disk space, restict acess time etc
[23:54] <aeiou> Dunkirk, i was thinking it would be a lot more  performant to not run VMs
[23:54] <Younder> aeiou, clever use of groups simplifies things
[23:55] <Dunkirk> aeiou: You'd be surprised at how fast VM's run, especially Linux-on-Linux with KVM.
[23:55] <aeiou> these guys give ssh with their hosting http://www.webfaction.com/
[23:55] <Dunkirk> aeiou: But you're right, there's a tradeoff. It's just not as much as you'd think.
[23:55] <aeiou> so i know its definately possbible to do securely
[23:56] <aeiou> Dunkirk, that would mean each user running their own apache etc
[23:56] <Dunkirk> aeiou: They're probably "jailing" like Younder is talking about. There's much less to setup for just a web server, as opposed to compiler chains.
[23:56] <rohith> Please someone help me... What version of Ubuntu supports ati radeon mobility x300 (I want to use Desktop Effects)?
[23:56] <Dunkirk> aeiou: But, yea, same basic idea.
[23:56] <aeiou> Dunkirk, they arent jailing, you can see everything - just files are locked down
[23:57] <aeiou> and you can compile your own programs in your home directory

[23:57] <Nallep_> I just install ubuntu 9.10 on a compaq presario 900 laptop, when I boot up I just get a black screen and nothing else happens, I'm currently booted into recovery mode root shell, how do I fix it so I can sue my computer?
