[00:00] <asathoor> :ubottu wacom
[00:00] <Hellhound666> I have a small question..
[00:00] <LameBucket> ok.. lets try this again..
[00:01] <zvacet> on every start wicd is asking for password how can I change that
[00:01] <LameBucket> hey guys, i installed ubuntu on my machine using the text installer.. but now its loading into a resolution that is not working with my TV.. i pressed ctrl+alt+F1 and now am at a command prompt.. is there a way to change the resolution so i can see what I am doing?
[00:01] <ZykoticK9> asathoor, there isn't a wacom factoid - but you can use "/msg ubottu wacom" to see that for yourself
[00:01] <Hellhound666> I have a cap file thats over 20000 and  the program keeps telling me to try with a larger file over and over.
[00:01] <Hellhound666> Am I just not using the right algorithm to crack it with?
[00:02] <Hellhound666> oh sorry wrong channel
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> LameBucket: start the x server now and it should be ok, if not you will need to define the display in xorg.conf maybe#
[00:02] <LameBucket> how do i start xserver?
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> LameBucket: startx
[00:03] <LameBucket> it says "Fatal server error: server is already active for display 0
[00:03] <clickme> ZykoticK9: yes
[00:03] <clickme> ZykoticK9: no wait
[00:03] <clickme> ZykoticK9: Cairo i mean
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> LameBucket: you have an x server runing then, you could just reboot now
[00:03] <ZykoticK9> clickme, i searched online and i can't find any mention of themes for gnome-do dockey...
[00:04] <clickme> ZykoticK9: i meant Cairo
[00:04] <ZykoticK9> clickme, ok that makes more sense - sorry i don't use Cairo, good luck
[00:04] <midnighthacker> well im using ubuntu now i just wanna know if i can transfer deban to work in backtrack
[00:04] <juan1> hai can i haz a questionz

[00:04] <ActionParsnip> !backatrack | midnighthacker
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> !backtrack
[00:05] <LameBucket> ActionParsnip: It still did the same thing.. the TV says "Not Support!" and i can hear ubuntu start in the background..
[00:05] <clickme> LameBucket: did u see the link i send you
[00:05] <juan1> I need to setup a WIFI ubuntu router/server, i cant make the wifi to make an ESSID via configs, anyone knows the commands to make it manually?
[00:05] <woodyjlw> what would cause the the close and minimize buttons to end up on left side of screen instead of right? and how do I put it back lol
[00:05] <LameBucket> ActionParsnip: Is there a way that i can force a resolution?
[00:05] <asathoor> has anyone in here success using Bamboo from Wacom with U 9.10?
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> LameBucket: then i'd look into setting up an xorg.conf file, maybe your tv needs to select a different input
[00:05] <MgMt> why does my software center thing say 0 items
[00:06] <LameBucket> clickme: no.. can you send it again
[00:06] <MgMt> is there a way to update it?
[00:06] <clickme> LameBucket: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> mgmt: sudo apt-get update
[00:06] <joeG> asathoor, yes.  Lemme dig up the how-to.
[00:06] <clickme> LameBucket: try booting into safe mode
[00:06] <MgMt> thanks
[00:06] <LameBucket> clickme: I already tried that.. it would just crash and wouldnt work.
[00:06] <spartan07> have OO 3.1 on Ubuntu 9.1. I wanted to know if there was somewhere I could find icons for the applications? not the application icons but the actual buttons when looking at for example open office writer?
[00:06] <juan1> need to make a wifi, just like the network-manager does, but on CLI
[00:07] <LameBucket> ActionParsnip: can i set one up from the terminal.. its all i can see righ tnow..
[00:07] <juan1> how to?
[00:07] <clickme> LameBucket: you be willing to download the live CD and installing it again
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> LameBucket: sure its just a text file
[00:07] <MgMt> actionparsnip that didnt seem to work
[00:07] <asathoor> thanx joeG - I have read http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/ and some Ubuntu fora
[00:08] <umbra_> when "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=688872" refers to "the location of the CD tree" what is meant?  Is this the path to the cd writer?
[00:09] <brjann> spartan07: do you mean the actual images that are used for the application icons?
[00:09] <LameBucket> ActionParsnip: could you help me do that?
[00:09] <joeG> asathoor http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1321238  This worked for me.
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> umbra_: its the files and folders which will make up the ISO
[00:09] <asathoor> joeG >> thanx I'll look into it
[00:09] <spartan07> brjann: nope the buttons when you open up say writer like the open button or undo button
[00:10] <ZykoticK9> LameBucket, to create an xorg see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> LameBucket: sudo Xorg -configure    will make a skeletal file, you can then add settings etc
[00:10] <LameBucket> clickme: I have already downloaded it twice.. its not the cd.. its the resolution that it puts it in is not one my tv can use.. so i used the text installer to install it..
[00:10] <LaughingLion> hey, i'm having some problems installing ubuntu
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> LaughingLion: did you MD5 test the file you downloaded? did yuo verify the media once created?
[00:10] <asathoor> joeG > this guide looks interesting, there are more details than the previous ones - so I'll give it a try
[00:11] <LaughingLion> i went through the steps on the live-cd, but when i restarted it takes me to a blank screen with grub on it
[00:11] <LaughingLion> no i don't think so :(
[00:11] <IdleOne> How can I get a Move To Directory option in the right click menu of nautilus?
[00:11] <joeG> asathoor, you can pretty much copy/paste the codes given in the post to the command line and let it rip.
[00:11] <MOzart> Hello i have an idea in the sandbox and i would like to know that you think about it here it is: Idea #23904: Sort applications also by Name/Populariy/Rate etc in Ubuntu Software Center	
[00:11] <umbra_> ActionParsnip, I'm afraid I'm still lost with that... How does the "CD Tree" refer to files and folders used to make up the iso when it sounds like a directory?
[00:11] <juan1> need to make a wifi, just like the network-manager does, but on CLI, How to?
[00:12] <Jon-> juan1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258857
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> umbra_: the directory structure in an OS is like a tree with branches being folders and subfolders being branches off that, files can be considered as leaves
[00:12] <juan1> thanks Jon-
[00:12] <Jon-> juan1: Just googled it. :P
[00:12] <umbra_> ActionParsnip, Yes, but then is the reference to a directory where the files will be placed?
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> LaughingLion: then you have no way of knowing if the data you downloaded is complete and error free and nor do you know if the media creation was 100% succesful do you?
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> umbra_: thats all i know dude
[00:13] <brjann> spartan07: like these? http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/OOo_galaxy.html
[00:13] <LameBucket> ZykoticK9: I am using an nvidia and so it tells me to do "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and when i run it it says that the command was not found..
[00:13] <umbra_> ActionParsnip, thanks man
[00:13] <LaughingLion> i guess not, but i had another operating system on my computer and i can't boot that either now
[00:13] <LaughingLion> i think it's a problem with grub
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> LaughingLion: check the iso, check the cd
[00:14] <asathoor> joeG - yea so that's the action then. I log off and try. Thanx for your answr
[00:14] <LaughingLion> how do i do that :)?
[00:14] <zvacet> I have small problem with wicd is anybody willing to help
[00:14] <ZykoticK9> LameBucket, perhaps you don't have the nvidia driver/programs installed.  You can use the non-nvidia method right now.
[00:14] <bencc> something on my server is eating all the disk space. how can I check what is it?
[00:14] <spartan07> brjann: yes like that. Is there a place with alot of them. I could not find any @ gnome art
[00:15] <brjann> spartan07: well, there are a few more here: http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/OOo_icon_evolution.html
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> bencc: remove unnecessary kernels is a great way to claw back space, as is bleachbit
[00:15] <MatBoy> can someone recommend an external 56K modem which is recognized well under ubuntu ?
[00:15] <brjann> spartan07: you might find still more combing through the openoffice visual design site, http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | matboy
[00:16] <ZykoticK9> shazbotmcnasty, Pizzadude fonts can be PURCHASED from http://www.pizzadude.dk/home.php (they aren't free to distribute, so please no more asking)
[00:16] <MatBoy> ActionParsnip: for modems that does not work... only testing works :)
[00:16] <bencc> ActionParsnip:  I need to find what taking space because it'll eat everything I'll clear
[00:17] <LameBucket> ZykoticK9: its still doing the same thing.. nothing is on the TV besides "Not Support!" after i did the non nvidia
[00:17] <MatBoy> ActionParsnip: some modems are just not detected
[00:17] <juan1> Jon-: i trying to do the opposite, not to JOIN a wifi, but "Create a New Wifi" option just like network-manager does, but on CLI
[00:17] <ZykoticK9> LameBucket, does it really say "Not Support!" that isn't even english really
[00:17] <LaughingLion> ActionParsnip: How do i check the cd?
[00:17] <LameBucket> ZykoticK9: yes... it really says that..
[00:17] <spartan07> I looked on openoffice site, but did not even know there was a Visual Design site. Thank you. Is there a way to have openoffice use the icons from ubuntu? for example Im using moblin icons and when I use abiword, abiword uses the style.
[00:18] <ZykoticK9> LameBucket, what sort of TV is this?
[00:18] <LameBucket> Vizio VW26L
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> LaughingLion: its on the first screen you see when you boot the cd
[00:18] <Jon-> juan1: Talk to someone else I am not that good with CLI lol, I just googled it for you last time.
[00:18] <zvacet> juan1:  see if http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 can help you
[00:18] <brjann> spartan07: I really don't know, sorry. you might ask in #Openoffice.org
[00:18] <Kylax> Hey is there any way to send mplayer to the background while playing music?

[00:26] <clickme> LameBucket: you can also try the new alpha version of ubuntu
[00:26] <clickme> LameBucket: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/alpha-3/
[00:26] <brjann> Jon-: things do get a little ugly when the application insists on writing to stdout or stderr, so sometimes you'll have to redirect their output to /dev/null or a file to keep from getting spammed by text from backgrounded processes
[00:26] <meowbuntu> hi can someone take a look at this and reply to it if you can help me. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8927479#post8927479

[00:29] <LameBucket> Thank you ZykoticK9 and ActionParsnip.. i used both of your methods and it worked in the end!
[00:29] <LameBucket> So thanks guys!!

[00:30] <Monona> jerseyboy357: I don't know sound stuff real well, but on my computer, I need to have PCM and Front volumes turned up in alsamixer, and then Master controls the overall volume.
[00:30] <Fernandos> I bought a tablet pc and it has a ATI Radeon HD4550, does that work with 3D and ubuntu??

[00:30] <chilli0> Hi, how can i loop my microphone input to my speakers?
[00:30] <avi93> awww it sucks...
[00:30] <chilli0> I know that im getting an input and my sound works all good.
[00:30] <Emery> ActionParsnip, the xconfig gui is included with the nvidia software, no joy
[00:30] <chilli0> But it just doesn't play the mic through the speakers.
[00:30] <Fernandos> and it  has a internal graphics card too: Intel GS45 I don't know more. sorry
[00:31] <Fernandos> Maybe you know more than I do.. I bought a HP TouchSmart TM2
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Emery: the nvidia-xconfig command will make a skeletal xorg.conf file so you can start edittning it with nvidia settings
[00:31] <luis_> Hello I got problems with my laptop bluetooth: I have an aspire 4520 but the bluetooth doesnt works, the kbluetooth icon is grey

[00:31] <luis_> cannot send or recieve archives because its blocked
[00:32] <Emery> ActionParsnip, it doesnt explain why it randomly decided to fux with my nvidia config
[00:32] <isix> CANT MAKE WIRELESS WORK IT IS DRIVING ME NUTSSSSSS it looks as it is disabled....and needs to enable.....using wicd
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> Emery: no idea but now it is bad and you need to take steps to fix it
[00:32] <Fernandos> kellyh: I have a multitouch display. does this work too?
[00:32] <BluesKaj-Laptop> hipitihop, yes , ssh into the machine , open the file manager with nautilus& and find your music and it will play on the remote machine
[00:32] <kellyh> isix: have you somehow turned it off by a killswitch of other such thing?
[00:32] <kellyh> Fernandos: i've no idea sorry, never tried such hardware
[00:32] <froh> luis_, look at the output of lsusb, it should show you what usb hardware you hawe, then you can google it
[00:32] <Emery> ActionParsnip, bad lol im not 12 ;)
[00:33] <isix> no killswitch
[00:33] <Fernandos> kellyh: ok

[00:34] <irma> oal
[00:34] <irma> ola
[00:34] <Fernandos> I don't speak about the touchpad. I speak about the display

[00:37] <chilli0> ActionParsnip,  Yes. ( I have my computer pluged into my screen, that has hdmi ( so with sound) And i dont like walking over and changing over the wires.
[00:37] <hipitihop> BluesKaj-Laptop, Festival is a text to speech engine which I am setting up on a remote machine ... to test it I want to hear the playback of the remote machine from my ssh session

[00:38] <shazbotmcnasty> here are the ones I was looking for: http://www.dafont.com/pizzadude-bullets.font

[00:38] <LaughingLion> ActionParsnip:  I ran the disc check from the live-cd and it says there were no errors.  Grub magically started working afterwards, but now nothing's booting properly.  I think that's just because my computer's overheating though.  Thanks for the help.
[00:38] <Fernandos> froh: NOT the touchpad. My display has multitouch
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> LaughingLion: check stuff in future, its there for a reason ;)
[00:38] <Fernandos> froh: ok. both have multitouch.
[00:39] <blood_> ada orang indonesia kah?
[00:39] <Fernandos> froh: all I found is what you found + howto compile xy... which doesn't sound like an easy solution..
[00:39] <^ardian^> Can i upload files to ftp from terminal ?
[00:39] <avi93> anyone can help please with firefox and java plugin?
[00:40] <LaughingLion> ActionParsnip: I will :).  Someone should really put that in the install instructions.
[00:40] <jiontro> hello to all

[00:40] <jiontro> i am new to ubuntu
[00:40] <froh> Fernandos, the sad truth is that progress on the mainstream linux desktop is mostly driven by copying someone else's features
[00:41] <jiontro> and i have one questions why i cannot acces my yahoo account
[00:41] <Fernandos> froh: ok.. in which relation is this to multitouch? sry didn't get what you say
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> LaughingLion: i agree :(
[00:41] <ZykoticK9> !coc > shazbotmcnasty
[00:42] <Fernandos> I'm not new to ubuntu, but I am totally new to multitouch
[00:42] <isix> ubuntu identifies the wireless but it is not enabled how to enable the wireless card....ifup and ifdown dose not work
[00:42] <froh> Fernandos, it means youll have to wait until someone copies the fetures of iphone , osx ,win7 or wht ever
[00:43] <Fernandos> froh: ah.. ok
[00:43] <BluesKaj-Laptop> hipitihop, you need to use the speechengine app whatever it is called after you ssh into your other machine . Can you ssh into it?
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> isix: if you run: sudo iwlist scan   does it show APs?
[00:43] <chetnick>     
[00:43] <elmakaru_22> hi
[00:43] <Fernandos> if that's truth it's sad. idk
[00:44] <Mage__> Hey all, not sure where else to post this so I'll ask it here.  How do I suggest a program to be packaged for ubuntu?
[00:44] <isix> lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.
[00:44] <isix> eth0      Interface doesn't support scanning.
[00:44] <isix> eth1      Interface doesn't support scanning.
[00:44] <isix> wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
[00:44] <FloodBot3> isix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:44] <hipitihop> BluesKaj-Laptop, I have done that, I ssh in to my other machine, getting a prompt and I then run the speech engine command which I gave you earlier .. but I do not hear anything
[00:44] <jiontro> nor kopete and pidgin cannot connect to the yahoo server  pls any help, iḿ a desktop user
[00:44] <taofd> for some reason computertemp doesn't work for me... I'm on an acer aspireone
[00:45] <brjann> Mage__: #ubuntu-motu I think
[00:45] <froh> Fernandos, yes this is why this year wont be the year of the linux desktop either
[00:45] <Mage__> brjann, alright thanks:)
[00:45] <chetnick> hipitihop: i don't think you are able to hear, since you are executing command on remote machine.
[00:45] <blood_> hmpf
[00:45] <chetnick> hipitihop: unless machine is near you.
[00:45] <isix> sorry for the flood any ideas?
[00:46] <kellyh> isix: is it enabled in bios?
[00:46] <taofd> How can I monitor my computer temperature? I wanted to install the gnome applet computertemp, but it's not working
[00:46] <BluesKaj-Laptop> hipitihop, what command are you using to launch the speech application?
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> froh: there is more to linux than ubuntu, have you tried any other distros?
[00:46] <isix> it is not an internal card is a usb card
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> taofd: look into lm-sensors
[00:46] <kellyh> isix: ah
[00:46] <taofd> ActionParsnip, ubuntu just happens to be one of the best though
[00:46] <chetnick> taofd: install lm-sensors
[00:46] <froh> yes, been using nix since 1998 :)
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> taofd: thats an opinion so is not concrete
[00:47] <taofd> ActionParsnip, chetnick thx
[00:47] <torre> ee
[00:47] <taofd> ActionParsnip, how so? I think it's pretty well established that ubuntu is one of the most popular distros currently
[00:47] <chetnick> taofd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[00:47] <taofd> ActionParsnip, it's also considered one of the best packaged distros and easily used for newbies
[00:47] <taofd> ActionParsnip, not saying it is *the* best, but it is certainly one of the best
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> taofd: some people think its the worst. neither you nor them are right or wrong
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> taofd: there is no best
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> taofd: only best for you, millions will share your opinion and millions will not
[00:48] <taofd> ActionParsnip, i'm not going to get into an argument about perceptive "bests", i'm just stating what is the general consensus
[00:49] <isix> is their a way to view installed devices and enable and disable them like windows?
[00:49] <FlyingTortoise> Can you use phpMyAdmin on your local computer to manage a database on a remote server?
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> taofd: i dont listen to general consensus
[00:49] <chetnick> Essentially they are all the same, they are what you made them.
[00:49] <taofd> for froh, who is a newbie linux user, that's probably what matters to him, his experience elsewhere is not going to be significantly different
[00:49] <dvwallin> e'lo
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> taofd: i look at whats best for me, but again, people think xpud sucks but i think its neat
[00:49] <dvwallin> Are there any pre-packed (like LAMP) lighttpd + php5 + mariadb -packages?
[00:50] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, i'm very tempted to send you the !ot factoid ;)
[00:50] <froh> taofd, ?
[00:50] <taofd> froh, you are probably correct in stating that linux is not yet ready for mainstream adoption, but it's getting there :) if you feel that it isn't ready for you standards yet, please feel free to file a few bug reports or recommendations / contribute to making it better, or check back again at a later time :)
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: hehe
[00:50] <bencc> where do I put a logrotate script for nginx?
[00:51] <froh> taofd, i like ubuntu, i actually
[00:51] <froh> srry
[00:51] <froh> taofd, i like ubuntu, i actually
[00:51] <froh> taofd, i like ubuntu, i actually  use it every day
[00:51] <froh> erhh......
[00:52] <isix> where is the device manager on ubuntu 9.10 64 cant find it
[00:52] <brjann> bencc: /etc/logrotate.d/
[00:52] <taofd> froh, oh, were you not the one that Action was talking to? my bad, nvm
[00:52] <ZykoticK9> isix, there really isn't one, what are you trying to do?
[00:53] <chetnick> Majority of mainstream did not even hear of Linux. I'm sure it would be more popular/adopted if it was advertized.
[00:53] <isix> enable the wifi card because it is disabled but ifup and ifdown dont work
[00:53] <kesi> Hi!  When I use my onboard wifi nic I am (usually) unable to connect to encrypted networks.  If I use the USB nic, I don't have this problem so I'm thinking it's the drivers.  It's a Dell vostro 1400 using the Broadcom driver.   any help?
[00:53] <taofd> chetnick, sorry i didn't want to distract the main channel, we can talk about this more in offtopic if you want :)
[00:53] <chetnick> taofd: true.
[00:54] <froh> isix, please identify the nic you're using, lspci in a terminal helps
[00:54] <hipitihop> BluesKaj-Laptop,  echo "this is a test" | festival --tts
[00:55] <ZykoticK9> isix, if you want a shorter output from lspci you could use "lspci | grep Ethernet"
[00:55] <iffymcdiffy> I just installed a new hdd in my ubuntu box.  I'd like to have it automatically mount to a directory in the filesystem on bootup, is there an easy way to do that?
[00:55] <Deformative> So yeah, new kernel broke suspend.
[00:55] <researcher1> when I scanned using Klamav some .exe files saved from windows XP were reported infected by trojans.Will such files ever infect UBUNTU?  They are quarantined by Klamav.
[00:55] <hipitihop> BluesKaj-Laptop, but I just went to the machine and I also do not hear anything from that machine either, so perhaps I have a funny sound setup because I am using hdmi
[00:56] <ZykoticK9> iffymcdiffy, you need to add the drive to your fstab file - not 'really' an easy way to do that "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" will give you a GUI editor
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> researcher1: no, they are windows viri, not linux
[00:56] <linxeh> ActionParsnip: viruses
[00:56] <froh> ZykoticK9, and how would that help, (10:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless)
[00:56] <Idlehead> does anyone know the string for gconf-editor /apps/metacity/general/button_layout to create a space between two entries?
[00:57] <iffymcdiffy> zykotick9: I guess I'm fine with that though it seems that ubuntu as the "easy" distribution should be able to do it through the gui
[00:57] <kellyh> isix: what model is the wifi card?
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> researcher1: you can infect your wine if you execute the apps in wine but the wine config can easily be cleaned or even removed
[00:57] <iffymcdiffy> zykotick9: what kinds of flags do I need?
[00:57] <ZykoticK9> iffymcdiffy, i'm unaware of an easy method to manipulate fstab...
[00:57] <researcher1> ok ActionParsnp, then why did a linux virus scanner reported them at all?
[00:58] <kellyh> isix: also is it just a usb wifi dongle or does it also act as storage?
[00:58] <researcher1> yes I have wine installed
[00:58] <Idlehead> researcher1, because those scanners are normally used on servers or gateways
[00:58] <researcher1> ok
[00:58] <ZykoticK9> iffymcdiffy, what format did you use for the new drive?
[00:58] <isix> wifi dongle
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> linxeh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viri
[00:58] <linxeh> ActionParsnip: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural_form_of_words_ending_in_-us
[00:59] <iffymcdiffy> zykotick9: its ntfs right now...(from an old system) I might change it later but for now I guess I'd like the read/write ntfs format
[00:59] <Idlehead> does anyone know the string for gconf-editor /apps/metacity/general/button_layout to create a space between two entries?
[00:59] <linxeh> ActionParsnip: virii is impossible as a plural, and viri is incorrect
[00:59] <memenode> How do I play input through output?
[00:59] <isix> i already installed ndiswrapper and the driver and follow all the instructions on wifi how to
[00:59] <avi93> anyone knows about the firefox and java pluding issue?
[00:59] <froh> iffymcdiffy, have you tried "disk utillity" in system/dministration?
[00:59] <memenode> audio I mean
[00:59] <FlyingTortoise> FlyingTortoise
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> linxeh: touche
[00:59] <isix> RTL8192 WLAN Adapter
[00:59] <ZykoticK9> iffymcdiffy, sorry man i'm useless with NTFS - i'm sure someone else can help you though
[01:00] <kellyh> isix: is there instructions on how to 'turn it on'?
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> linxeh: i like to add i to stuff to pluralise it, its fun
[01:00] <iffymcdiffy> froh: yeah I've looked in it but didn't see the option mount here
[01:00] <linxeh> ActionParsnip: heh
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> linxeh: like goldeneyei
[01:01] <blocky> what happens to an ecryptfs setup if I use root to overwrite the account password of the user
[01:01] <isix> well it says to use network-manager-gnome but on 9.10 i cant find networking on system admin
[01:01] <linxeh> hah :)
[01:01] <froh> iffymcdiffy, iv'e never tried this in a "new" distro but i can help you with the correct line in /etc/fstab
[01:01] <linxeh> I might start doing that at work to wind people up :)
[01:01] <l7> ActionParsnip: hey again. do you happen to know if it's possible to mount partimage files?
[01:01] <iffymcdiffy> froh: sure I'd appreciate that
[01:02] <l7> that was the problem i ran into last time, now that i recall
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> l7: not sure tbh, never tried. Dont see why not
[01:02] <linxeh> l7: yes, you can
[01:02] <isix> i tried to find the nm-applet but dosent run
[01:02] <linxeh> mount -o loop -t partimagefs imagefile /some/mount/point
[01:02] <iffymcdiffy> froh: what should I write, the drive is on /dev/sdb
[01:03] <linxeh> oh no thats rubbish
[01:03] <linxeh> ignore me
[01:03] <linxeh> l7: what if you do mount -o loop /the/image/file /some/mount/point
[01:03] <linxeh> l7: does that work ?
[01:04] <l7> linxeh: i get "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"
[01:04] <froh> iffymcdiffy, /dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk ntfs-3g ro,uid=1000 0 0
[01:04] <l7> i also tried "sudo mount -o loop -t partimagefs fooooimg.000 /mnt/partimage/"
[01:05] <linxeh> l7: hmm, I guess not then. is it a compressed filesystem ?
[01:05] <l7> and it doesn't understand partimagefs
[01:05] <linxeh> l7: I always just use dd to create my images, then they can easily be mounted etc
[01:05] <l7> linxeh: yeah, as far as i know which is not very much
[01:05] <kellyh> isix: nm-applet should already be loaded/running, should be a icon next to the clock on the top
[01:05] <l7> google reveals a lot of hits for people asking how to do this, but no answers on how
[01:06] <l7> linxeh: yeah i wanted to use dd, but the resulting image files were a bit larger than i wanted
[01:06] <froh> iffymcdiffy, i'm just guessing here, make sure /mnt/disk exists, and grep <your username> /etc/password reveals your correct uid
[01:06] <l7> i think partimage understands how to skip over empty areas which is nice
[01:06] <l7> but unmountable images are annoying
[01:06] <froh> iffymcdiffy, /dev/sda1 is thefirst partition on your disk
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> l7: did you select max compression?
[01:06] <kellyh> isix: a quick search in google brought up a few mentions on the ubuntu forums that there should be a working native linux driver, try searching on the forums for the model of your wifi dongle there should be a few hits that might help you
[01:07] <m0ar> I've got an awful problem. Right after I log on, the next time I press enter my X-server gets restarted. Any ideas? Is this known?
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> isix: there may be source code on the realtek site for you to compile
[01:07] <linxeh> l7: looking at the partimage site it isnt currently possible - they are asking for help to write a block driver to support it
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> m0ar: when you log back in read /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:07] <olskolirc> ok how do I bring up the graphic driver menu from the prompt please?
[01:08] <m0ar> ActionParsnip: kk
[01:08] <kellyh> ActionParsnip: it seems there are a number of different versions of that particular wifi device, but recompiling kernel/driver seems to be an option
[01:08] <ubuntuNewBe> hi, need help regarding ssl certificats anybody have experience working with them?
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> olskolirc: what video card?
[01:08] <JustaNumber> so if I say apt-get update-upgrade-dist-upgrade I should be all up to date?
[01:08] <iffymcdiffy> froh: is there a way to automount the fstab without restarting to test it?
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> JustaNumber: indeed
[01:08] <isix> it is up and running what i wanna know where is the networking app and how to run it
[01:08] <kellyh> iffymcdiffy: mount -a
[01:08] <froh> iffymcdiffy, yes, "mount /mnt/disk"
[01:09] <olskolirc> NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420
[01:09] <olskolirc>  ActionParsnip
[01:09] <l7> ActionParsnip: nope didn't fiddle with the compression options
[01:09] <kellyh> isix: is there no network manager icon in the top bar?
[01:09] <l7> linxeh: oh well, thanks anyway for the help
[01:09] <ubuntuNewBe> hi, I need help regarding ssl certificats anybody have experience working with them?
[01:09] <l7> i suppose i will go back to dd for now
[01:09] <Red_HamsterX> What, specifically, do you need, ubuntuNewBe?
[01:10] <linxeh> l7: you could use dd and gzip/bzip2/7zip
[01:10] <meowbuntu> hi can someone take a look at this and reply to it if you can help me. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8927479#post8927479
[01:10] <ubuntuNewBe> Red_Hamster I am setting up a mail server on ubuntu using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix
[01:10] <l7> linxeh: does 7zip produce smaller images than bzip2?
[01:10] <meowbuntu> !ask | ubuntuNewBe
[01:10] <linxeh> l7: generally yes
[01:11] <froh> iffymcdiffy, man mount.ntfs-3g shows you what the options for mounting does
[01:11] <blakkheim> l7: if you're going to be using gzip/bzip2  for large files and have  a multicore cpu, install pigz and pbzip2 (and replace the gzip/bzip2 in /bin with them)
[01:11] <ubuntuNewBe> Red_Hamster openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 3650, does this creat a root cert?
[01:11] <l7> clonezilla's also uses dd i think and they provide a nicely organized backup too
[01:11] <isix> there is no source code but ndiswrapper makes the install of the xp drivers
[01:12] <l7> blakkheim: hmm, i have a very old pentium, but it has hyperthreading, does that count?
[01:12] <isix> yes there is a nerwork manager gnome icon on the top bar
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> olskolirc: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-96   i think (if you use karmic)
[01:12] <blakkheim> l7: it would offer a small speed improvement
[01:12] <olskolirc> thanks
[01:12] <froh> i understand someone had fun scripting ubottu in tcl, but it is more of an annoyance than anything else
[01:12] <Red_HamsterX> ubuntuNewBe, I think it creates both a private key, which serves as the root for self-signed authentication and a public key, which is what clients need to accept.
[01:13] <l7> blakkheim: ah, neat then. thanks for that tip
[01:13] <ubuntuNewBe> Red_Hamster, okay so I can use the cacert.pem to create new certs and sign them?
[01:14] <kellyh> isix: you should be able to see wifi networks if you click on that, if you right click on it it will tell you if wifi is enabled
[01:14] <isix> here is the site of the conf of the wifi i am on instruction 3.6 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[01:14] <froh> ubottu, yes cacert is a fake root cert
[01:14] <Red_HamsterX> ubuntuNewBe, no, cacert.pem is what you should serve to clients, if my memory of self-signing is accurate.
[01:14] <Red_HamsterX> ubuntuNewBe, cakey.pem is the private key, which only Postfix needs to see.
[01:15] <isix> it says device is not ready

[01:27] <blocky> that figures
[01:27] <Alan502> i can't wait for lucid :P
[01:28] <blakkheim> Alan502: why
[01:28] <Alan502> blakkheim, 'cause upgrading ubuntu always feels good :)
[01:28] <bencc> how can I find out which user runs a pid?
[01:29] <blakkheim> Alan502: what does it offer that you currently need
[01:29] <Alan502> it's just interesting seeing the new version
[01:29] <Alan502> blakkheim, nothing at all, i think. But i just like to upgrade.
[01:30] <Alan502> i dun upgrade right now though, cause it is still buggy
[01:31] <Tartaros> lucid default search engine will be yahoo, whats up with that? :)
[01:31] <seanbrystone> $$$$
[01:31] <draygen> yeah thats a bummer :-/
[01:32] <jpds> draygen: Not really.
[01:32] <Alan502> blakkheim, what os are you currently using?
[01:32] <draygen> jpds: well , I like Yahoo and I use it .. But i tend to use Google more
[01:32] <draygen> so thats just one more step for me when loading up a fresh install of ubuntu
[01:32] <jpds> draygen: And the common user doesn't care, they just want a search box, and text.
[01:32] <blakkheim> Alan502: gentoo on desktop, arch on netbook, debian on server
[01:33] <Alan502> nice
[01:34] <seanbrystone> those 'real' distros too much pain for me, ill stick with Ubuntu :)
[01:34] <Tartaros> so does that seriously mean yahoo paid canonical to become the default?
[01:34] <draygen> does anyone have any experience with a virus/or rootkit that causes intermittent packet loss to the gateway? its driving me nuts! :-p

[01:36] <meowbuntu-away> ok i need a disk maintenance tool. earlier today my hdd started to click adn freeze my os. i turned it off and gave it a rest for a while.
[01:37] <DasEi> draygen: I had such a issue recently, but cause of dns-flooding, does your syslog say sth. or have you got a high system load ?
[01:38] <DasEi> olskolirc: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:38] <jpds> Tartaros: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2010-January/030065.html
[01:38] <olskolirc> he has no graphics DasEi
[01:38] <draygen> DasEi: Actually, the issue is on my girlfriends Windows laptop.. I thought it was a wireless issue, but it doesnt happen to my machine running Ubuntu
[01:38] <olskolirc> he can't connect to X DasEi
[01:39] <draygen> Wireshark showing TLS connections to spynettest.microsoft.com , which concerns me
[01:39] <HowardtheDuck> is there a web browser for ubuntu that isn't mindnumbingly slow and annoying
[01:39] <DasEi> olskolirc: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:39] <draygen> HowardtheDuck: Chrome ;)
[01:39] <meowbuntu-away> ok i need a disk maintenance tool.
[01:39] <xangua> !browser | HowardtheDuck
[01:40] <taofd> for some reason when using sensors, it says my adaptor's critical temp is 63 degress C... this seems kind of low... are there consequences of it's "critical" temp being set this low, or does it not matter?
[01:40] <Tartaros> jpds: k, fair enough.
[01:40] <DasEi> draygen: ##windows
[01:40] <HowardtheDuck> xangua:  I'm not asking what browsers are available, i'm asking which of those available browsers are good
[01:40] <HowardtheDuck> FF is awful, Opera is okay, but I'd like faster if it's out there
[01:40] <Tartaros> HowardtheDuck: firefox, opera, chromium
[01:40] <draygen> DasEi: understood, wasnt asking for "windows" support, just asking if anyone experienced a virus that can cause packet loss to the gateway ..thats all
[01:40] <meowbuntu-away> HowardtheDuck, i would look at opera or chrome or firefox minimal
[01:40] <Tartaros> HowardtheDuck: also, why is FF "awful"?
[01:40] <DasEi> meowbuntu-away: fsck for fs, testdisk for more forensic issues, and ...
[01:41] <HowardtheDuck> Tartaros: incredibly slow
[01:41] <xangua> HowardtheDuck: for gnome¿ chromium and midori, both use  webkit :)
[01:41] <HowardtheDuck> xangua:  thanks.
[01:41] <DasEi> draygen: right then, no , not in ubuntu
[01:41] <Tartaros> HowardtheDuck: huh, is it now... isn't it just your computer being slow? ;P
[01:41] <dj_segfault> Because after all these years, Firefox still leaks memory like an 80 year old man'
[01:42] <HowardtheDuck> Tartaros:  Since FF is blazing fast on my XP partition, no, I don't think so.
[01:42] <damian> The only time I've seen Firefox slow down is after installing addons and such for it. Fast as can be for me.
[01:42] <m3F> hey! How could i change the resolution of my grub?
[01:42] <Tartaros> dj_segfault: it doesn't leak memory, it just fragments. Like any program will, unless it can move the memory around like mono or java virtual machines
[01:43] <xangua> HowardtheDuck: opera is also very good but is propietary
[01:43] <bencc> how do I manually force logrotate for testing?
[01:43] <DasEi> meowbuntu-away: what's the behaviour of the disk ?
[01:43] <HowardtheDuck> damian:  removing the addons definitely helps, as well as the usual recommended tweaks, but still is nowhere near the speed it should be
[01:43] <Tartaros> HowardtheDuck: in that case it's still not firefox obviuosly. It should be as fast in linux as its in XP, or faster.
[01:43] <AlienDK> I like Opera
[01:43] <AlienDK> 10.50 is awesome
[01:43] <HowardtheDuck> xangua:  yeah, i really like opera.  installed 10.5 yeterday on my XP box at work
[01:43] <AlienDK> :P
[01:43] <AlienDK> Sadly its not open source
[01:43] <AlienDK> oops
[01:43] <AlienDK> shit.. this is kinda offtopic
[01:43] <meowbuntu-away> DasEi, yes it was working find now though
[01:44] <Tartaros> well yeah opera seems faster but it's controls are nowhere near as natural as FF's are
[01:44] <AlienDK> Gotta be carefull. Else they'll ban me from life, the universe and everything
[01:44] <HowardtheDuck> Tartaros:  well it's not, and I'm by far not the only person having this problem.   Windows FF is great, Ubuntu FF is not
[01:44] <AlienDK> yeah
[01:44] <lateralus01> is it alright if I post a link to my filesystem question on the ubuntu forums?
[01:44] <AlienDK> Opera feels weird in Ubuntu
[01:44] <AlienDK> Much better on windows
[01:44] <HowardtheDuck> yeah I really would prefer FF, I like it much better as a browser, but use Opera now just because I kinda have to
[01:44] <tenshinoneko> hello ^^
[01:44] <AlienDK> hello
[01:44] <dj_segfault> Tartaros: On every Linux system I've used, Firefox running for a while eventually takes up more and more memory and CPU cycles (sometimes up to 70%), especially with Flash
[01:44] <brjann> bencc: sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf
[01:44] <AlienDK> Flash sucks
[01:44] <damian> You could always switch to a terminal browser ;)
[01:45] <AlienDK> :P
[01:45] <ddrj> dj_segfault: same here
[01:45] <lateralus01> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1423517
[01:45] <HowardtheDuck> even though FF sux in Ubuntu, I still use it for flash...because flash in Opera is even worse heh
[01:45] <Tartaros> dj_segfault: yes. Fragmenting. Also flash plugin is not really FF's fault is it
[01:45] <AlienDK> GNOME sucks
[01:45] <ddrj> don't say that!
[01:45] <ddrj> it rules
[01:45] <AlienDK> It looks like something for handicapped persons
[01:45] <DasEi> meowbuntu-away: didn't understand your last answer
[01:45] <tenshinoneko> i'm trying to make changes on /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts but i'm scared i'll mess something up T_T
[01:45] <xangua> now we really are offtopic
[01:45] <xangua> !ot
[01:45] <HowardtheDuck> AlienDK:  probably but I like it better than KDE still
[01:45] <olskolirc> ok DasEi hes in nano
[01:45] <AlienDK> Its better than the other desktops
[01:46] <Tartaros> I don't think being offtopic is such a crime at this hour
[01:46] <AlienDK> Sorry xangua. But I'm banned in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:46] <AlienDK> Itis
[01:46] <tenshinoneko> is there any GUI to change the name of the host in 9.10?
[01:46] <DasEi> olskolirc: what was the basic issue ?
[01:46] <tenshinoneko> + the domain
[01:46] <xangua> AlienDK: that's not excuse to make offtopic here
[01:46] <AlienDK> :(
[01:46] <AlienDK> How about this
[01:46] <AlienDK> God is dead
[01:46] <Tartaros> tenshinoneko: dunno about a gui but it should be really easy to change it manually
[01:46] <AlienDK> I'm the new god
[01:46] <AlienDK> :D
[01:46] <FloodBot3> AlienDK: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:46] <olskolirc> my friend is stuck on his login screen b/c he picked the wrong video driver using ubuntu Lucid and a NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420 DasEi and now stuck on a black screen no X loging shell
[01:46] <AlienDK> Sure
[01:47] <AlienDK> your "friend"
[01:47] <AlienDK> mwuhahahahahahaha
[01:47] <sebsebseb> !lucid |  olskolirc
[01:47] <DasEi> olskolirc: aaaah, so you're on the wrong path then
[01:47] <olskolirc> I got that sebsebseb
[01:47] <taofd> will Lucid's UNR hit day 1? or does it usually trail the official release?
[01:47] <olskolirc> what DasEi
[01:47] <DasEi> olskolirc: run following commands from safe mode or trml-line
[01:48] <Tartaros> olskolirc: heh. you didnt include the description of real problem (other than "stuck") and since this channel is about karmic- then we will probably recommend to install karmic :P
[01:48] <bencc> brjann: thanks
[01:48] <olskolirc> ok wait let me have him get out of nano DasEi
[01:48] <tenshinoneko> tartaros: well the problem i have is in hosts. right now the host name is "ubuntu" should i just change every ubuntu for "newname"
[01:48] <taofd> for some reason when using sensors, it says my adaptor's critical temp is 63 degress C... this seems kind of low... are there consequences of it's "critical" temp being set this low, or does it not matter?
[01:48] <Tartaros> tenshinoneko: how is that a problem?
[01:48] <DasEi> olskolirc: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_stuck
[01:48] <olskolirc> Tartaros, I did I said "froze" as if he was on M$
[01:48] <[_miT_]> unitedpotsmokers: dood... dood.
[01:48] <DasEi> olskolirc: ctrl-x to quit nano
[01:48] <dj_segfault> taofd: That means it's not reading the sensors.  Mine does the same thing
[01:49] <unitedpotsmokers> hi there.. good morning
[01:49] <tenshinoneko> tartaros: well cuz there's one place in hosts that says "ubuntu-domain" so i'm not sure if i need to change thatone to "newname-domain" sorry im a n00b xD
[01:49] <Tartaros> olskolirc: what part of "this channel is not about lucid" dont you understand :)
[01:49] <taofd> dj_segfault, what do you mean? :D
[01:49] <dj_segfault> taofd: Could be an unsupported sensor chip
[01:49] <Tartaros> tenshinoneko: I'd suggest not touching it when it works
[01:49] <olskolirc> this was the same issue with karamic too Tartaros thats why we upgraded hoping it would be better
[01:49] <olskolirc> its the same
[01:49] <DasEi> olskolirc: also, is that lucid ? well, meet me over there, then
[01:50] <tenshinoneko> tartaros: so i should leave the .ubuntu-domain the same then? ^^
[01:50] <DasEi> !lucid
[01:50] <Tartaros> olskolirc: well can you not use the driver?
[01:50] <olskolirc> we uninstalled it Tartaros but we can't bring up the driver config to pick another driver from the command line, any suggestings?
[01:51] <olskolirc> whats the lucid channel DasEi ?
[01:51] <olskolirc> I don't have any problems with my lucid so far
[01:51] <DasEi> olskolirc: see above, #ubuntu+1
[01:51] <[_miT_]> olskolirc: keyword: so far
[01:51] <olskolirc> oh yes im there DasEi
[01:51] <Tartaros> reconfigure X or some such
[01:52] <shazbotmcnasty> how to give .ttf the correct rights?
[01:52] <[_miT_]> shazbotmcnasty: chmod?
[01:52] <shazbotmcnasty> chmod <what>
[01:53] <tenshinoneko> anyone knows how to lock an account after auto-log in?
[01:53] <meowbuntu-away> DasEi, yes it was working find now though
[01:53] <[_miT_]> shazbotmcnasty: could chmod 777, but that would be totally unsecure (very un-linux of me)
[01:53] <PeterT> Yeah, true
[01:54] <DasEi> meowbuntu-away: it works now , and you want to re-check the fs ? or view the syslog ?
[01:54] <PeterT> Note to self: Don't ever type /who #ubuntu
[01:54]  * [_miT_] takes note
[01:55] <taofd> dj_segfault, i'm on an acer aspire, it's an atom proc ... it seems like whenever i go above 63C my computer shuts down / crashes... i was wondering if the two were related
[01:55] <[_miT_]> Is there a way to load balance connections? (Say WLAN and LAN)
[01:55] <MgMt> i cant get the software center to work, i already used 'sudo apt-get update' with no success
[01:56] <[_miT_]> MgMt: Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center?
[01:56] <MgMt> yeah
[01:56] <[_miT_]> MgMt: version? 9.10?
[01:56] <MgMt> yep
[01:56] <MgMt> fresh install and updated
[01:56] <dj_segfault> taofd: Hmm.  From what I've seen when it says 63C that means it's not reading the sensor, but maybe your case is different.  What program are you reading the temp with?
[01:56] <tony_> Some one can help me, because when to start my pc all my personal file are copied to my desktop
[01:56] <[_miT_]> MgMt: what happens when you attempt to launch it?
[01:56] <MgMt> it opens but it says 0 items at the bottom
[01:57] <amdpox> Anyone know how I can stop the radeon driver from being loaded with a kernel parameter? I tried radeon.blacklist=yes, but briefly saw a message about an unknown option or something
[01:57] <tony_> how can to lock the file not copy when a reboot the pc
[01:57] <[_miT_]> MgMt: from within Software Center -> Edit -> Software Sources
[01:57] <bencc> when I'm forcing logrotate the server starts using access.log.1 file instead of access.log http://dpaste.com/168870/
[01:58] <bencc> any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[01:58] <candy> hello
[01:58] <taofd> dj_segfault, i'm using lm-sensors
[01:58] <MgMt> [_miT_] what do i do in there?
[01:58] <brandonedens> hi all... I just installed w3m under Karmic and am finding that it is not able to open URLs. Are other people experiencing this problem?
[01:58] <[_miT_]> MgMt: ensure Main, Universe, Restricted and Multiverse is checked
[01:58] <candy> i donno im new to this whole thing
[01:58] <dj_segfault> bencc: Use a wildcard of *.log, not *  That happened to me too
[01:59] <MgMt> [_miT_] what are those?
[01:59] <[_miT_]> dj_segfault: best dj name, EVAR
[01:59] <dj_segfault> [_miT_]: Thanks.  I used to DJ, so it was a natural
[01:59] <[_miT_]> MgMt: those are the servers your PC contacts for software packages and updates
[01:59] <MgMt> [_miT_] i dont see those options
[02:00] <bencc> dj_segfault:  that's what I'm using: http://dpaste.com/168870/ isn't it?
[02:00] <[_miT_]> dj_segfault: i just go by Dj Tim, or just Tim. lol
[02:00] <brjann> bencc: it's probably that the server isn't being properly notified that it needs to close its existing file handles and reopen the file. i'd double-check your post-rotate command
[02:00] <[_miT_]> dj_segfault: minimal-techno, downtempo, electro, ect
[02:00] <[_miT_]> MgMt: which options?
[02:00] <dj_segfault> bencc: Looks right for me.
[02:01] <bencc> brjann: is it possible that I need to put sudo in the postrotate command?
[02:01] <[_miT_]> MgMt: did you get to the software sources window?
[02:01] <MgMt> [_miT_] the main universe restricted and multiverse
[02:01] <MgMt> yes
[02:01] <Tartaros> what script/program is used by ubuntu installer to generate fstab?
[02:01] <MgMt> [_miT_] now i see it, those were all checked
[02:01] <brjann> bencc: no, logrotate runs as root i think, so you should be okay
[02:01] <[_miT_]> MgMt: on that first tab 'Ubuntu Software', there are check boxes for them
[02:01] <mohadib_> when i try to view a png in firefox, view it directly, it tries to open in another app, can i have FF just display the png itself?
[02:01] <bencc> dj_segfault:  should it work when forcing rotate with: 'sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf' ?
[02:02] <[_miT_]> MgMt: ok then close both software sources and software center
[02:02] <[_miT_]> MgMt: System -> Administration -> Update manager
[02:02] <MgMt> [_miT_] ok
[02:02] <skrite> i need a reccomendation for a great file sync app. I don't need it as a backup program, but rather will compare two folders and their contents and show me the differences so i can reconsile them as i like
[02:02] <[_miT_]> MgMt: hit check, make sure you're hitting the sources we have checked
[02:02] <bencc> brjann: when running manually kill -USR1 `cat /usr/local/nginx/logs/nginx.pid` it works fine
[02:03] <[_miT_]> MgMt: i.e. Main, Universe, ect
[02:03] <tony_> what's option a should to desacctivate because all my personal file when a reboot the pc show me on the desktop
[02:03] <mohadib_> anyone? when i try to view a png in firefox, view it directly, it tries to open in another app, can i have FF just display the png itself?
[02:03] <brjann> bencc: meaning that it switches back to the real log file when you SIGUSR1 it manually?
[02:03] <MgMt> [_miT_] it says i updated less than an hour ago
[02:03] <DasEi> skrite: man diff
[02:03] <bencc> brjann: yes
[02:03] <[_miT_]> MgMt: thats fine, check it again
[02:03] <MgMt> i did, it didnt do anything
[02:04] <skrite> DasEi, thanks
[02:04] <Tartaros> mohadib_: this depends on what mime type is the http server telling your browser the png file is
[02:04] <dj_segfault> bencc: That looks right but I'm not a logrotate expert.  I just know when I did * instead of *.log I ended up with tens of thousands of files in the log directory after a few months
[02:04] <[_miT_]> MgMt: :/ you didnt see the update window hit the servers?
[02:04] <MgMt> what do you mean hit the servers?
[02:04] <dj_segfault> bencc: It took over half an hour to delete them all
[02:04] <[_miT_]> MgMt: "Download package information"
[02:04] <bencc> dj_segfault: sound like fun
[02:05] <[_miT_]> MgMt: you'll see it checking the server sources we have checked (Main, Restricted, ect)
[02:05] <mohadib_> Tartaros: hmm, cant you tell? http://grab.by/grabs/b3b1211cabb2d1df709ce8be94c8ba71.png
[02:05] <mohadib_> can*
[02:05] <MgMt> yeah
[02:05] <[_miT_]> MgMt: ok close the update manager
[02:06] <[_miT_]> MgMt: lauch terminal (yay)
[02:06] <[_miT_]> MgMt: type: sudo apt-get purge software-center
[02:06] <[_miT_]> MgMt: then: sudo apt-get install software-center
[02:06] <frenciusleonardu> hallo
[02:06] <usrponcho> register
[02:06] <[_miT_]> MgMt: btw, Softare center is kinda for the newbs, you should really use the Synaptic package manager ;)
[02:06] <HowardtheDuck> is chrome or opera faster in ubuntu
[02:06] <usrponcho> sorry
[02:07] <isix> ANYONE HAS System-> Administration -> Networking so they can tell me the command under properties?
[02:07] <[_miT_]> HowardtheDuck: Chrome is called Chormium on linux
[02:07] <mohadib_> HowardtheDuck: tias?
[02:07] <[_miT_]> HowardtheDuck: and its faster than anything ive ever seen ;)
[02:07] <brjann> bencc: hm, I'm stumped. I don't see anything wrong
[02:07] <MgMt> i am a bit of a newb lol
[02:07] <[_miT_]> MgMt: ahh ok then :)
[02:07] <MgMt> plus i cant remember half the names of what im looking for
[02:07] <isix> ANYONE HAS System-> Administration -> Networking so they can tell me the command under properties?
[02:07] <[_miT_]> MgMt: you can search the packages within Synaptic Pacakge Manager
[02:08] <MgMt> that did it, thanks!
[02:08] <[_miT_]> MgMt: if we could search them it would be a big headache, lol
[02:08] <DasEi> isix : would be under preferences, command is nm-connection-editor
[02:08] <DasEi> (Network Connections), isix
[02:08] <bencc> brjann: thanks. I'll ask on the nginx mailing list
[02:08] <maxjezy> [_miT_], chrome is chrome in linux to?
[02:09] <maxjezy> get it from google and it's chrome?
[02:09] <lamalex> Does anyone know anything about dev-mapper?  I have a machine that /used/ to have lvm on it, which I did a reinstall without lvm, but my drives are still listed under /dev/mapper, and now it won't let me format the unused drive because "One or more block devices are holding /dev/mapper/nvidia_efffjahb"
[02:09] <DasEi> maxjezy: chromium-browser
[02:09] <[_miT_]> maxjezy: no, chrome (the web browser) is called chromium on linux
[02:09] <brjann> bencc: they have a channel here on freenode, #nginx
[02:09] <bencc> brjann: ok
[02:09] <xangua> chrome is freeware and chromium is open source
[02:09] <ZykoticK9> [_miT_], actually there is both Chromium and Google Chrome for linux
[02:10] <[_miT_]> ZykoticK9: im refering to the browser
[02:10] <maxjezy> http://www.google.com/chrome/
[02:10] <DasEi> maxjezy: ubottu: You can get testing builds for Chromium at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa
[02:10] <HowardtheDuck> mit thanks :)
[02:10] <[_miT_]> np
[02:10] <HowardtheDuck> i just installed it
[02:10] <ZykoticK9> [_miT_], me too!  there are 2 of them: 1) Chromium and 2) Google Chrome they are different packages
[02:10] <[_miT_]> w00t!
[02:10] <[_miT_]> enjoy :D
[02:10] <[_miT_]> ZykoticK9: lies! <checks>
[02:10] <isix> thanks dasEi
[02:11] <maxjezy> i use the chrome package
[02:11] <maxjezy> but it's built on chromium i guess
[02:11] <isix> i dont want network connections i want networking

[02:14] <m0ar> I want to start a new x-session on another tty, and use awesome instead of gnome. How to achieve this?
[02:14] <darkex> would there be any way to test your external line speed from the commandline?
[02:14] <[_miT_]> m0ar: thats crazy talk
[02:15] <[_miT_]> m0ar: but i like it :) never actually ran two desktop managers at once
[02:16] <m0ar> [_miT_]: Not crazy at all, but I want it :D
[02:16] <m0ar> Do i seriously have to run it in virtualbox? x(
[02:16] <schnitzel> can anyone help me getting livecd-tools installed ?
[02:16] <schnitzel> i need to make a fedora usb disk that i can install from instead of the DVD
[02:17] <[_miT_]> m0ar: you can install it and pick the desktop manager you want to login with @ the login screen
[02:17] <[_miT_]> darkex: sudo apt-get install iftop
[02:17] <DasEi> schnitzel: use unetbootin for that
[02:17] <[_miT_]> DasEi: schnitzel: i second that :) unetbootin is awesome
[02:18] <[_miT_]> its the only way i can get anything installed on my netbook :/
[02:18] <DasEi> darkex: you talk about the d/l speed ?
[02:19] <ZykoticK9> m0ar, you can use the command gdmflexiserver to start another xorg session, BUT you need 2 user names (it won't let you log in as same user twice)
[02:19] <darkex> DasEi: just the link/burst speed externally, yeah
[02:19] <schnitzel> i cant use unetbootin to create a fedora usb
[02:19] <schnitzel> it dosent work for the DVD
[02:19] <[_miT_]> DasEi: darkex: iftop is nice for a terminal/graphical display of your network interfaces

[02:19] <[_miT_]> DasEi: darkex: i guess you could run lynx or wget a large file and check the DL speed
[02:19] <m0ar> [_miT_]: Not good enough

[02:19] <isix> anyone has network-manager .7 or .6 ?
[02:20] <al__> wow craig
[02:20] <craig> wow?
[02:20] <m0ar> craig: Go to a terminal, type in "alsamixer"
[02:20] <DasEi> darkex: there testfiles easily to be found on the net, being well served, can use scp or rsync with -P (progress) option, will show you file, and if I remember right, ethtoll.. well not sure for the moment
[02:20] <craig> ok
[02:20] <[_miT_]> hows craigslist going craig? (lol)
[02:20] <m0ar> craig: Max all channels
[02:20] <m0ar> craig: use "tab" to find more of them
[02:21] <darkex> k thanks
[02:21] <m0ar> craig: It's probably just a output that's muted or something. So go put on sound from a mediaplayer or w/e and play around in alsamixer
[02:21] <craig> in alsamixer now... looking around, thanks... I'll let you know what I find
[02:21] <[_miT_]> m0ar: should be pulseaudio (shudder), not alsa
[02:21] <schnitzel> i need help with installing livecd-tools
[02:21] <m0ar> [_miT_]: Well, yeah
[02:22] <nmcintyre> anyone know if there are plans to fix the issue with menus not being resizable to fit a netbook monitor?
[02:22] <DasEi> Darkex: no sorry, ethtool doesn't provide that
[02:22] <nmcintyre> in 10.04
[02:22] <taofd> ugh, my system just crashed, where would I go to see a log of what caused my system to crash?
[02:22] <m0ar> [_miT_]: We people with a sense of logic have purged pulse a long time ago
[02:22] <[_miT_]> nmcintyre: have you tried the Netbook remix release? its designed for that
[02:22] <nmcintyre> yah, i have
[02:22] <nmcintyre> but therea re still menus
[02:22] <[_miT_]> nmcintyre: but i recommend crunchbang linux on netbooks, I LOVE IT.
[02:22] <nmcintyre> that are not resizable
[02:22] <m0ar> nmcintyre: Remove some entries
[02:22] <nmcintyre> or scrollable
[02:22] <m0ar> nmcintyre:  :D
[02:23] <taofd> nmcintyre, ubuntu UNR is nice, but some dialogs still wont display correctly (thunderbird)
[02:24] <[_miT_]> m0ar: true :0
[02:24] <craig> ok no sound is muted and everything in alsamixer that makes sense, like master, is up to the top of the slider
[02:24] <m0ar> [_miT_]: Only causes eternal suffering and immense pain. Alsa all the way!
[02:24] <m0ar> craig: Checked everything?
[02:25] <[_miT_]> m0ar: ripping out pulseaudio was step 1 for my fresh install :)
[02:25] <taofd> anyone know?
[02:25] <m0ar> Some doesn't make sense, but still have a card in the deck
[02:25] <Tartaros> whats wrong with pulse?
[02:25] <m0ar> Tartaros: Can't put my finger on it, but hell
[02:25] <m0ar> Tartaros: It doesn't work nearly as well as alsa
[02:25] <[_miT_]> Tartaros: nothing, usually. but i, along with many others, have a lot of problems with it
[02:25] <Tartaros> In my movie players, if I select alsa for audio, it keeps getting stuck, whereas with pulse it's ok...
[02:26] <m0ar> Tartaros: Small bugs, doesn't work as it should
[02:26] <craig> yup checked everything, no sound still
[02:26] <[_miT_]> Tartaros: when it works, it works wonderfully. but when it doesnt, its the worst thing in the world.
[02:26] <maxjezy> craig, turn up volume to 150 % and i think it will work
[02:26] <Alan502> will empathy still be included in lucid
[02:26] <m0ar> Tartaros: Since you HAVE pulse. Remove it, and alsa works well
[02:26] <m0ar> Alan502: Yes
[02:26] <m0ar> maxjezy: Wtf?
[02:26] <Tartaros> m0ar: interesting theory. how does one remove pulse anyway?
[02:26] <m0ar> Tartaros: purge pulseaudio
[02:26] <maxjezy> m0ar, it's a bug, many people have it that i heard of
[02:26] <DasEi> m0ar: pulse is not be compared to alsa, as it acts as a sound-proxy, not s-system ( like oss or alsa)
[02:27] <Tartaros> and where lies the future, alsa or pulse? or something else?
[02:27] <craig> yeah its at 150% .... interesting, maybe unrelated... I dont have a mic but in sound preferences the input level is flashing
[02:27] <m0ar> DasEi: Still causes trouble, irrelevant what it really is. What is a baldrog? Not really sure, but it hell screwws things up
[02:28] <tony_>  what's option I should to desactivate in the desktop, because all my personal file when a reboot the pc show me on the desktop
[02:28] <tony_> somebody knows?
[02:28] <maxjezy> craig, did it do the trick?
[02:28] <[_miT_]> tony_: that doesnt make sense :( wish i could help
[02:28] <craig> no it didnt
[02:28] <DasEi> m0ar: different experiences on my side, but I had to get the idea of pulse first, too, was also confused as it appears in one line with alsa, oss
[02:28] <maxjezy> okey
[02:28] <tony_> mit ok
[02:28] <knottydreads87> i imagine this is very unlikely but is there anyway to send a wake up ping to a ubuntu computer that is shutdown?
[02:28] <maxjezy> then i have no idea
[02:28] <tony_> mit when I restar my pc
[02:29] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: thats called "wake on lan". your mobo has to support it
[02:29] <craig> "eah its at 150% .... interesting, maybe unrelated... I dont have a mic but in sound preferences the input level is flashing" just in case it flashed by too quick
[02:29] <tony_> all the file in my user it is in my desktop
[02:29] <m0ar> tony_: Explain.
[02:29] <knottydreads87> [_miT_], oh, thats right. i'll see if my mobo does
[02:29] <mawst> What do I need to do to add ident2 to init.d?
[02:29] <tony_> ok
[02:30] <tony_> I have my desktop clear
[02:30] <tony_> and when I restar my pc my desktop in full of file
[02:30] <[_miT_]> tony_: what files?
[02:30] <tony_> the file of my home
[02:31] <tony_> user
[02:31] <craig> ok well, thanks very much for trying ... I appreciate it... I think I may have to learn a bit more about ubuntu if I hope to have sound
[02:31] <tony_> you undestand what I mean?
[02:31] <[_miT_]> tony_: sounds like something you installed is dumping those files there. very strange. i would create a second "test user" account and see if they get the files dumped onto the desktop as well
[02:32] <tony_> ok
[02:32] <a359> is there a way to get watch (/usr/bin/watch) output in color? e.g. $watch -n5 ls --color  <--doesnt work for me.
[02:32] <[_miT_]> a359: thats a great idea :)
[02:33] <a359> rephrase my question: Does /usr/bin/watch have color support?
[02:34] <knottydreads87> [_miT_], lets assume by mobo has wake up on lan enabled. how do you initiate the the wake up?
[02:34] <[_miT_]> a359: i recall playing with a terminal that had color support for logs and such, but i dont remember the name of it :(
[02:34] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: thats something you have to research for your mobo, i honestly have never set that up before.
[02:34] <a359> [_miT_]: yeah I was wondering if this is a terminal issue or what. I tried a few differnt ones, no luck.
[02:35] <knottydreads87> [_miT_], thanks! it does seem like something kinda complicated
[02:35] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: the concept is pretty simple, you send a "knocking" packet to the mobo and it turns itself on
[02:36] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: when your box is powered off, you'll notice that the LAN link light is still active. its basically listening for that "knocking" packet
[02:36] <knottydreads87> [_miT_], yes i have seen that
[02:36] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: my DD-WRT router has an option for Wake on lan (WOL)
[02:36] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: i might have to experiment with that :)
[02:36] <knottydreads87> [_miT_], looks like you do it on the IP and MAC address
[02:37] <look> does anyone know where the Xchat logs are kept?
[02:37] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: indeed
[02:37] <ircuser> How can I convert many text files to PDF at once ( into a single PDF document or one PDF file for one text file) ? I've got some 200 separate text files I need to print to PDF.
[02:37] <[_miT_]> look: check in ~/.xchat
[02:38] <look> [_miT_], thanks
[02:39] <[_miT_]> look: np
[02:40] <Souperf> hi
[02:41] <Colonel_Panik> a359, you talking console terminal or xterminal in a windowmanager?
[02:42] <Souperf> I interrupted the Ubuntu install process by shutting down the computer during its file copy stage. Since then, the HDD I tried to install it on reports as full, even thuogh it was empty. I can't make partitions on it in Gparted (liveCD), the only option is "unmount" (even though it's not mounted) which gives me an error. How can I completely format/restore that drive?
[02:42] <[_miT_]> Souperf: whoa, you cant delete and recreate the partitions?
[02:43] <Souperf> mit: nope, the only option is Unmount, but as I said, it's not even mounted. I've tried booting the LivdCD several times.
[02:43] <[_miT_]> Souperf: you can try to unmount from terminal, maybe gparted is being lazy ;)
[02:43] <a359> Colonel_Panik: i'm not sure what you mean. I use uxterms mostly. But I tried also in xterm and gnome-terminal with the same result.
[02:43] <Souperf> I tried that. As I said it's not mounting. It doesn't show up in "mount"
[02:44] <Souperf> *mounting = mounted
[02:44] <schnitzel> where can i get liveusb-creator for ubuntu?
[02:44] <Souperf> schnitzel: if you have Ubuntu already installed, you can create a USB LiveCD from System > Adminitration > USB Startup Disk
[02:45] <schnitzel> thanks, does that work with other distros too?
[02:45] <[_miT_]> schnitzel: or you can use unetbootin + iso
[02:45] <Souperf> sorry, I don't know
[02:45] <Colonel_Panik> a359, a console terminal to me means what you get when you hit control-alt-F2 for example.
[02:45] <KeithChester> Random question - is there a way to determine the total average color that is on my screen? For instance, if a movie is playing and theres a mostly blue screen, i can call this program/function/system call and get what color blue?
[02:45] <[_miT_]> schnitzel: unetbootin will handle any distro, since you're pointing to an iso
[02:46] <schnitzel> it dosent work, ive tried and ive been told on #fedora that using unetbootin to make a live usb from the fedora DVD does not work
[02:46] <a359> Colonel_Panik: ah. ok, no I am talking about inside X.
[02:47] <[_miT_]> schnitzel: i've never had unetbootin not work for me :(
[02:47] <DasEi> schnitzel: news to me. tried myself witht the cd, works
[02:47] <JATCommand> .
[02:47] <schnitzel> i wanna try it with the DVD
[02:48] <a359> schnitzel: if you need a DVD to install a linux distro something is terribly wrong
[02:48] <a359> (imho)
[02:48] <schnitzel> really?
[02:48] <DasEi> schnitzel: one "secret is to have the usb formatted properly before, and then give it few minutes, though app says finished, then cleanly unmount usb
[02:49] <schnitzel> the fedora dvd, is that terribly wrong ? :(
[02:49] <DasEi> schnitzel: if dvd borks, why not use the cd then ?
[02:49] <ddrj> i'm installing via usb
[02:49] <ddrj> is that wrong
[02:49] <ddrj> yes / no
[02:49] <DasEi> ddrj: no
[02:49] <mcurran> Anyone ever save pictures from a digi camera to a usb directly (no computer).
[02:50] <schnitzel> because im stubborn
[02:50] <a359> schnitzel: i guess so : )
[02:50] <ziroday> Hi I keep getting "iptables: No chain/target/match by that name" when trying to do iptables -I INPUT 6 -m limit --limit 5/min -j LOG --log-prefix "iptables denied: " --log-level 7
[02:50] <ddrj> ok good
[02:50] <[_miT_]> mcurran: yeah they have "wifi" sd cards for that
[02:50] <bazhang> mcurran, does that relate to Ubuntu?
[02:50] <Colonel_Panik> a359,  couldn't you set up a color profile in gnome-terminal and call up gnome-terminal--window-with-profile=mycrazycolors
[02:50] <ziroday> the INPUT chain exists
[02:50] <Souperf> mit: I did as you suggested. Manually deleting the partition using fdisk made Gparted work with it.
[02:50] <[_miT_]> Souperf: nice!!
[02:50] <ddrj> it's cus i'd rather not install a cd drive to install via cd
[02:51] <bazhang> ddrj, unetbootin works fine for that
[02:51] <[_miT_]> ddrj: any reason for that? ive never had a problem. only have had to use USB installations on netbooks (no cd-rom)
[02:51] <DasEi> ddrj: if box supports usb-boot, prefered method (saves a cd, lessnoise, less mechanical loss)
[02:51] <bjb1959> I have a tough one for you. I have a shiney new nvidia geforce gt 240 that works fine with the nv driver but as soon as I try to install the latest nvidia driver x won't start. how do I fix it?
[02:51] <david_> hola
[02:52] <[_miT_]> bjb1959: ive had to reconfigure xorg after upgrading my nvidia drivers before
[02:52] <david_> ubuntu#spanish
[02:52] <bazhang> david english here, spanish in #ubuntu-es
[02:52] <a359> Colonel_Panik: well i don't usually use gnome terminal. My terminals display color fine, the issue is that when I run watch, somehow the colors don't work.
[02:52] <david_> alguien que hable espanol
[02:53] <bazhang> david_, /join #ubuntu-es
[02:53] <bjb1959> _miT: any suggestions? I have used sudo nvidia-xconfig and then reboot but just get the tty line and no x
[02:53] <RSLRDX> Hi everyone, i'm looking for an app that can check the charset of a mysql backup file. just a mysql dump file. i'm having trouble importing it into a new server and want to make sure the charset is correct
[02:54] <RSLRDX> been looking at synaptic but didnt find anything
[02:54] <[_miT_]> bjb1959: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:55] <bjb1959> _mlT: and I should do this after I upgrade, drop to tty then reboot and wait for x to not start??
[02:55] <Colonel_Panik> a359, oh I don't have that problem in gnome-terminal,  thats weird
[02:56] <RSLRDX> any suggestions?
[02:56] <fwaokda> anyone can help me on how to convert .flac to .mp3 in ubuntu 9.10 ?
[02:56] <[_miT_]> bjb1959: thats what i did
[02:57] <a359> Colonel_Panik: hmm. so your "watch" _does_ support color? Could you try in an xterm also?
[02:57] <man8> who has problems with tty? xorg ?
[02:57] <mediaprodigy> HOw do i watch dvd's in ubuntu
[02:57] <mediaprodigy> i put the dvd in the dvd player but nothing happends
[02:57] <joshnetbook> Hello. I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu on my desktop.
[02:57] <[_miT_]> mediaprodigy: pop it in and double click the DVD from your desktop
[02:57] <BHoward> joshnetbook: whats going on?
[02:57] <[_miT_]> mediaprodigy: also, VLC is a beautiful media player, i like it better than the built in one on ubuntu
[02:57] <bjb1959> _mlT: ok, I'll give it a try but it seems like a ton to go through just to get 3d going. last time I had this kind of trouble was maybe 2005 or 2006. seem's we are going backwards
[02:57] <Colonel_Panik> a359, I was reading about early personal computers today and some had only 3 colors, we have progressed some I guess.
[02:58] <[_miT_]> mediaprodigy: sudo apt-get install vlc
[02:58] <backtrack0001> anybody here have experience setting up a persistent USB using unetbootin?
[02:58] <xangua> do you have libdvdcss2 installed¿ if not use medibuntu
[02:58] <mediaprodigy> i have VLC
[02:58] <xangua> !medibuntu | mediaprodigy
[02:58] <mediaprodigy> aand it will not play it
[02:58] <mediaprodigy> ok
[02:59] <joshnetbook> I've setup a thumb drive to be bootable and mounted the ubuntu iso to it. I can reboot and get to the Ubuntu installation menu but after choosing to install(or just run) it drops me to busybox.
[02:59] <mediaprodigy> i have to installl one by one
[02:59] <DasEi> fwaokda: http://tinyurl.com/ydc3u9v
[02:59] <fwaokda> DasEi, thanks
[03:00] <bjb1959> _mlT: one last thing, did you mean sudo dpkg --configure xserver-xorg?
[03:00] <_GRUB_> joshnetbook: could just be a corrupted copy on the USB drive
[03:00] <man8> bjb1959>  i have a nvidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
[03:00] <DasEi> backtrack0001: yes
[03:01] <[_miT_]> bjb1959: sorry yes, i dont remember the command off the top of my head
[03:01] <man8> bjb1959>  http://www.pobladores.com/channels/tecnologia/EL_Nuevo_Mundo/area/12  xorg.conf in nvidia
[03:01] <joshnetbook> Should I try downloading again? Could it be the thumb drive? It's new and I used it to install Ubuntu NBR recently so I don't know if that would be the problem.
[03:01] <mediaprodigy> is there a sudo i can run to get mediabuntu installed
[03:01] <bjb1959> man8: is it in spanish?
[03:02] <man8> yes
[03:02] <backtrack0001> dasEi: I cannot understand why when i boot from the USB i get OS not found..
[03:02] <DasEi> mediaprodigy: medibuntu ?
[03:02] <DasEi> !medibuntu
[03:02] <man8> i an spanis
[03:02] <donusa100> Hello Room Don from Michigan
[03:03] <_GRUB_> joshnetbook: most likely that when you copied the ubuntu iso to the drive it left files out. just format it and try putting the iso on again
[03:03] <mediaprodigy> yes medibuntu
[03:03] <DasEi> backtrack0001: then sth. went wrong with the usb-installation, first, are you sure the box supports usb-boot, stick found in bios ?
[03:03] <ardchoille> What is the default irc client installed with a fresh Ubuntu system? Does Ubuntu install one?
[03:03] <DasEi> mediaprodigy: go with the link, add repos, update apt, install desired
[03:03] <xangua> ardchoille: since karmic, empathy is the default im; it supports a lot of networks incluiding irc
[03:04] <rww> ardchoille: Empathy is the nearest thing it installs. It's barely useable as an IRC client, though.
[03:04] <backtrack0001> DasEi: I have a live cd of this distro i want persistent on a USB boot it up, create the partitions, format them. use unetbootin to extrack the ISO to it and install bootloader. and yes,i have USB stick in my boot options
[03:04] <ardchoille> xangua rww Thanks
[03:04] <dj_segfault> xangua: I thought pidgin was the default
[03:04] <Blue1> ardchoille: i use the irc client in pidgin - but you have to install that
[03:04] <Dr_Willis> mediaprodigy:  the medibuntu reposiutory page has dirctons on the commands to use.
[03:04] <ardchoille> dj_segfault: it was changed in KArmic
[03:04] <Dr_Willis> !medibuntu
[03:04] <joshnetbook> ok thanks
[03:04] <_GRUB_> irssi!
[03:04] <xangua> dj_segfault: (21:03:55) xangua: ardchoille: #since #karmic, empathy is the default im; it supports a lot of networks incluiding irc
[03:05] <ardchoille> Blue1: yeah, I use xchat,I'm helping new users get up and running
[03:05] <mediaprodigy> thanks guys for the DVD help a..
[03:05] <Blue1> irssi is good
[03:05] <Blue1> ardchoille: I don't use xchat it looks pretty complicated for what I need
[03:05] <Atomic> Anyone use PDAnet with Android and Ubuntu?
[03:05] <ardchoille> I think I'll keep her with empathy and she can branch out from there
[03:05] <a359> backtrack0001: try adding to the boot option: cdrom-detect/try-usb=true
[03:05] <mediaprodigy> everyone...  :)
[03:05] <_GRUB_> xchat is really simple
[03:06] <DasEi> backtrack0001: things go little messy then : unetbootin will create sth like a live-usb, no changes possible. for persistent take a look at pendrivelinux, just like a standard install to a usb stick, if it's a disk, can directly install to it
[03:06]  * dj_segfault tries out Empathy.  Back in a bit
[03:06] <Blue1> _GRUB_: I couldn't figure out how to be on multiple networks - easy in pidgin
[03:06] <schnitzel> * THE GAME *
[03:06] <a359> backtrack0001: you have to press <tab> at the unetbootin start menu to edit the boot options, then enter that option
[03:06] <Dr_Willis> Unetbootin needt to get a make perisstant save file option some day
[03:06] <DasEi> backtrack0001: wheres usb-creator will give some extra spaces for own savings
[03:06] <DasEi> wheras*
[03:06] <backtrack0001> DasEi: the distro is backtrack and the USB drive is 4gb
[03:06] <Colonel_Panik> a359,  xterm works with red and white and watch for me anyway
[03:06] <tenshinoneko> hello ^^ everyone i'm trying to auto lock in when signin in, so far i used  gnome-screensaver-command --lock but it wont lock up T_T
[03:07] <backtrack0001> I'll check that out a359
[03:07] <DasEi> backtrack0001: though no support here, it's same
[03:07] <rww> ardchoille: pointing them at webchat.freenode.net is easier if they're only going to be using it occasionally
[03:07] <_GRUB_> Blue1: I think u just press ctrl s to get back your server list and connect to another one
[03:07] <ardchoille> rww: Nope, their switching from Windows to Ubuntu :D
[03:07] <Blue1> _GRUB_: i may look at it again someday
[03:07] <DasEi> backtrack0001: you either want usb-creator or - better, pendrivelinux (google it)
[03:08] <backtrack0001> okay googling
[03:08] <HowardtheDuck> how do i downgrade to the old grub so i can change the order of my menu
[03:08] <a359> Colonel_Panik: hmm. thanks for checking. i'm not sure what I need to do to get it working then...
[03:09] <DasEi> backtrack0001: important is to have the stick formatted properly before, fat 16 or 32 often on that size
[03:09] <backtrack0001> DasEi: yeah the instructions say to make a 1.5gb partition in vfat and the remainder on drive in ext3
[03:09] <Dr_Willis> HowardtheDuck:  ive seen somd guides/forums on tweaking the order wth grub2 - that may be easier
[03:09] <DasEi> HowardtheDuck: if it's just the order, checkout /etc/default/grub
[03:10] <Colonel_Panik> a359,  xterm works with blue and white and watch for me  what are you running with watch?
[03:10] <DasEi> backtrack0001: the told apps will handle partiton proper, but the inital fs is important for thwm to recognize the stick correctly
[03:10] <Sj4m35-15> anyone use the mini.iso ubuntu 9.10?
[03:11] <DasEi> Sj4m35-15: did
[03:11] <Sj4m35-15> whaddaya think?
[03:11] <backtrack0001> DesEi: will i still be able to follow the remainder of this tutorial for making persistent with nessus

[03:12] <axisys> how is it that when from my ubuntu laptop's terminal I ssh to one ubuntu server the terminal title changes to the remote server.. but from same ubuntu laptop when I ssh to this other ubuntu server the title of the terminal does not change to the remote server ? what do I have to change on the remote server to behave the same way ?

[03:12] <DasEi> backtrack0001: a persistent ubuntu behaves like a standard install
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> axisys:  check your bash startup scripts and wht they are setting the prompt 'PS1' variable to.
[03:13] <Sj4m35-15> DasEi: which window manager and file manager did you use?
[03:13] <DasEi> Sj4m35-15: depends on your needs and purpose, I used it for lightwight with icewm

[03:14] <Dr_Willis> mtx_init:  vfpau is only for specicic video cards.. and   You installed  a newer vlc version from that ppa that had the support? Ive not seen it in vlc yet. just mplayer
[03:14] <Dr_Willis> mtx_init:  also you need to select the vpadu video out in the settings of the player
[03:14] <Sj4m35-15> DasEi: I'm using mine as a virtualbox guest. What would you suggest for testing purposes?
[03:15] <mtx_init> Dr_Willis: My card supports it and it had a different version.  and I do have it selected
[03:15] <DasEi> Sj4m35-15: standard desktop iso / gnome
[03:15] <Dr_Willis> mtx_init:  No idea then.  from what i read its confuseing what cards actually support it.

[03:16] <Blackcamaro8> Is there a method of installing Ubuntu onto a flash drive(4GB) to where I can save and add things, as opposed to making a bootable USB installer?

[03:19] <axisys> Dr_Willis: thanks.. found it
[03:19] <Sj4m35-15> anyone ever use openbox?
[03:19] <axisys> Dr_Willis: PROMPT_COMMAND='if [ $TERM = "vt100" ]; then printf "\033k${HOSTNAME%%.*}\033\\" ; fi'

[03:20] <axisys> Dr_Willis: i guess the prompt_command does it
[03:20] <a359> Colonel_Panik: so if I do that, instead of seeing "bash" in green, I see [00m[01;32mbash[00m
[03:20] <axisys> Dr_Willis: thanks
[03:20] <Dr_Willis> axisys:  actually its the escape codes the prompt prints that does it. :)

[03:21] <Blackcamaro8> How can I make a bootable USB Ubuntu installation? I'm not talking about a USB installer, I want an actual portable, saveable installation.
[03:21] <dehqan> there is a folder including folders and files ? how to chmod 755 all folders and 644 all files in it
[03:21] <erik__> Blackcamaro8, Install to a USB stick
[03:21] <Dr_Willis> axisys:  i forget the exact ones. Theres a bash prompt howto that details it.. in agonizing details. :) and i recall a bash prompt generator tool out there also.
[03:22] <seele> or at least could someone help me manually mount an encrypted partition so i can at least back up my data before i reinstall?
[03:22] <[_miT_]> dehqan: recursive, i.e. chmod -R 777 file/folder
[03:22] <axisys> Dr_Willis: wow! thanks :-)
[03:22] <mr-grey2> Is Xubuntu an ok OS to learn if you are completly new to linux? I heard you can do more with skins and themes with it and I'm just beginning linux.
[03:22] <Blackcamaro8> erik__:That installs GRUB to my primary hard drive. I don't want that. I want a fully portable installation.
[03:23] <DasEi> Blackcamaro8: http://tinyurl.com/pwv7z
[03:23] <ramrebol_> when I try to run "Sound Recorder" appear http://pastebin.com/vkvWQUTZ  ..  How can I fix this??  (I have sound with mplayer, but I don't have sound with totem)
[03:23] <Blackcamaro8> DasEi: Checking out link now.
[03:24] <zeek0124> can someone help me with my audio ive been working on it tirelessly please
[03:24] <Blackcamaro8> DasEi: I've been there before. Can you send me an individual link on how to install Ubuntu on a flash drive? All I've found are links that make a USB installer.
[03:24] <erik__> Blackcamaro8,  Are you sure I've done it several times and it works for me. Anyways "just" install grub on the USB disk yourself.
[03:24] <bjb1959> Is there anyone that knows why x won't start when I install the nvidia drivers with my geforce gt 240? nv driver works fine but nvidia driver causes x not to start
[03:25] <DasEi> Blackcamaro8: I got you like usb-stick for a flash drive;; is it a sd card ? ssd-hd ?
[03:26] <javatexan> I've got  libstdc++.so.6, but this program is dying because libstdc++.so.5.  Can I add that one too, seems like that would cause other problems....help?
[03:26] <Blackcamaro8> DasEi: Yes, it's a Sandisk Cruzer Micro 4GB. I want a FULL install of Ubuntu on there, GRUB and all.
[03:27] <Guest46002> guys I just reinstalled ubuntu on two of my computer (Both had Ubuntu 9.10 before) and now I cant get networking to work wired or wireless on laptops that had no problems before
[03:27] <Dr_Willis> Blackcamaro8:  you have to watch out that the isntaller dosent accidently install grub to the wrong hard drive. I recall some button/advanced option near the end of the install to tell to where to go
[03:27] <DasEi> Blackcamaro8: so given link is right, it's an usb tick, nor ? usb-creator let's you do something near it, but for a real install pendrivelinux is best
[03:27] <revo> Blackcamaro8 plug in your usb, disconnect all hdd,s install off a cd to the usb , and your done
[03:27] <tiago> Alguem pode me ajudar, eu tenho uma placa sis mirage 3, e o ubuntu não reconhece ela????Alguem pode me ajudar, eu tenho uma placa sis mirage 3, e o ubuntu não reconhece ela????
[03:27] <Blackcamaro8> revo: That's actually a good idea. Didn't think of that. Thanks :P
[03:28] <DasEi> revo: sometimes don't work with grub/casper
[03:28] <Dr_Willis> Blackcamaro8:  i tend to just use persistant-save enabled live usb type setups on flash drives.
[03:28] <Dr_Willis> Blackcamaro8:  or i set up grub2 to boot the iso files. :)
[03:28] <syrius> whats the best place to get themes for ubuntu?
[03:28] <syrius> what happened to all the old ones it use to have in the older releases?
[03:29] <bjb1959> I didn't think so....
[03:29] <xangua> syrius: 'gnome look'
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> syrius:  theres the gnome look theme sites. and proberly some still in the repos.
[03:29] <revo> Blackcamaro8: dont install any restricted gpu drivers if you want it to be truly portabkle
[03:29] <syrius> I noticed the ones frrom art gnome dot work integrate better with gnome than with gome look dot ord
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> gotta love a collection of 10,000 theme parts.. most of which are so nasty you cant stand them :)
[03:29] <syrius> I dislike the ones frrom gnome looked
[03:29] <syrius> they don't work very well
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> syrius:  theres a lot of theme ppa collections out also
[03:30] <syrius> there is always some app tha doesn't work well
[03:30] <Dr_Willis> Ive never noticed an app that dident work well.. just some of the theme parts are ugly.
[03:30] <Blackcamaro8> revo: Figured that. Lol. Drivers are 'attached' to ONE specific line of device.
[03:30] <syrius> like I just install art-gnome.org and they work flawlessly
[03:31] <syrius> the ones from gnome-look.org I always have some app that doesn't get integrated well with the theme
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> syrius:  they are all just user submited themes. so you just have to watch out for what ones you use
[03:31] <syrius> like firefox will be hard to read because the color didn't get right in the addons window
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> I proberly got 100+ theme/parts in my .themes dir ive collected over the years
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> firefox is themeable in itself.. so  that may be more of a FF issue.
[03:31] <marcobxbro1> anyone has a u301 EV-DO working with ubuntu?
[03:31] <darkstar1> How do I set the default browser in gnome. Mine's always firing up FF but I need itto fire up something else
[03:32] <syrius> no it can't be Dr_Willis
[03:32] <syrius> then why is it that art-gnome.org themes don't have that problem?
[03:32] <syrius> it is the normal system them
[03:32] <Brando753> guys I just reinstalled ubuntu on two of my computer (Both had Ubuntu 9.10 before) and now I cant get networking to work wired or wireless on laptops that had no problems before
[03:32] <syrius> not a custom one for firefox
[03:32] <Dr_Willis> syrius:  they are all user submited.. if you find an issue with one.. post to the themes forum/thread/notes on the site.
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> some usesr make them better then others..  its not a issue with the web site.
[03:33] <shubbar> from where do i manage system processes?
[03:33] <nanotube> darkstar1: system -> preferences -> preferred applications
[03:33] <xangua> syrius: a lot of themes in gnome look use other gtk engines wich you may have not installed and that is because they don't work in your system
[03:33] <nanotube> darkstar1: or something to that effect...
[03:33] <syrius> well how do I find themes made by devs?
[03:33] <darkstar1> nanotube: Thanks
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> Yea the whole gtk-engine stuff is often get goofy
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> syrius:  look in the package manager for starters.
[03:33] <shubbar> i want the printer process to start on startup, now i do it manually
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> syrius:  and theres several theme PPA repos out that are better tested
[03:33] <syrius> yes I know that xangua usually the dev will say you need this package or what ever
[03:34] <frozzen> Hey! waz up!
[03:34] <syrius> I want some cool black themes Dr_Willis do you know of any?
[03:34] <syrius> even the black themes that come with ubuntu have problems
[03:34] <Dr_Willis> syrius:  no idea. I always go back to the same themes ive used over the last few years.  I find dark themes always have issues
[03:34] <hellupline> can anyone help me? I have a question about "quickly", I have a translated file in the "po /" folder, I want when I run "quickly package" pack it with the file "*. mo"
[03:35] <Dr_Willis> I want things clear, clean, and easy on my eyes.
[03:35] <syrius> but the ones I downloaded from art-gnome.org don't seem to have those problems
[03:35] <syrius> well this one that I got from art-gnome.org doesn't seem to have problems
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> syrius:  looks like you got one then.. enjoy.
[03:37] <hellupline> can anyone help me with the i18n in quickly ??
[03:38] <javatexan> so how do you deal with one silly program that wont install until you have libstdc++.so.5 when you already have libstdc++.so.6....why won't it work with just that one....Is there a safe way to add so.5 without messing up the other programs on the machine.....is this akin to dll hell in windows?
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> javatexan:  since the last .# is differnt the 2 should be able to coexist on the same system.
[03:38] <alcala> hi
[03:38] <alcala> hello, how can I play 3gp files in ubuntu????
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> javatexan:  or you could recompile the app to use the newer lib.
[03:38] <Brando753> guys I just reinstalled ubuntu on two of my computer (Both had Ubuntu 9.10 before) and now I cant get networking to work wired or wireless on laptops that had no problems before
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> alcala:  ive maanged to play them in vlc and gmplayer befor
[03:39] <javatexan> no can do, I think its only a binary install.
[03:39] <javatexan> :(
[03:39] <alcala> Dr_willis what do I need to install?
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> alcala:  proly the normal stuff. vlc, gnome mplayer, the w32codecs package perhaps. thats about all i ever install
[03:40] <mr-grey2> off the wall question but I like looking at porn and i heard linux is pretty tuff on not getting virus.. should i get a virus scanner anyhow?
[03:40] <mr-grey2> lol
[03:40] <Brando753> ... no you wont need one ...
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> !av | mr-grey2
[03:40] <alcala> Dr_willis I will try that.. =) thanks
[03:40] <hellupline> alcala maybe will need ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:40] <abo-> DasEi, does k3b allow you saving the dvd into a avi/mpg file on disk?
[03:41] <syrius> how do I get the gnome foot back in nautilus?
[03:41] <Dr_Willis> abo-:  k9copy and handbrake can also do that feature
[03:41] <Brando753> ... at least hes honest :D
[03:41] <DasEi> abo-: no, but into a mountable iso
[03:41] <mr-grey2> thanks Dr_Willis
[03:41] <Blackcamaro8> syrius: How did you remove it?
[03:41] <javatexan> wow...how do you just add libstdc++.so.5.....all i see is apt-get install libstdc++5...but that did not work
[03:41] <syrius> ubuntu did
[03:41] <syrius> the gnome foot for when the folder is loading

[03:43] <mr-grey2> sorry guys i'm a noob at linux i'm trying to learn it quickly so i don't ask stupid questions... but also a stupid question is a question that has not been asked yet
[03:43] <Dr_Willis> Biggest 'danger' ive seen to ubuntu systems are  people breaking their own systems because they think they know what they are doing.....
[03:43] <mr-grey2> :)
[03:43] <Dr_Willis> :)
[03:43] <DasEi> bypass: install putty on xp, have a ssh on your home box, register with dns if no static ip there ( as typical), consider changing port, securing, further look into portknocking (advanced)

[03:44] <Samual> I'm aware it's out of date, but 9.10 disappointed me a lot, and I don't want to upgrade.
[03:44] <AlienDK> ok
[03:44] <Dr_Willis> Samual:  ive noticed some servers a little slow lately. but eventyally mine completes

[03:44] <bypass> DasEi i installed openssh server already and have static dns made
[03:44] <Samual> Oh okay.

[03:46] <bypass> i tried gstm gui configure but its not doing anything
[03:46] <DasEi> bypass: you have to allow forwarding x, and putty just needs the ip and the port of ssh, for bypassing /w browser needed least a ssl-able proxy
[03:47] <hellupline> mr-grey2, that's because, inside the sistem. still is possible the write over sistem files
[03:47] <DasEi> bypass: better approach is to forward x over ssh and use home machines browser

[03:53] <bypass> so must use vnc throush ssh as well
[03:53] <Millentree10> and other partitions arent mounting
[03:53] <bypass> my company is a call center
[03:53] <bypass> so they have lots of vlans
[03:53] <bypass> and restrictions
[03:53] <bypass> i cant even use usb at my pc :)
[03:53] <bypass> gpo blocks usb
[03:53] <bypass> but i found that 22 is open
[03:53] <mr-grey2> vnc? that a firewall?
[03:53] <TheFuzz4> good evening ubuntu experts
[03:54] <bypass> vnc - remote desktop
[03:54] <dehqan> what is default permission of /var files ?
[03:54] <mr-grey2> ah
[03:54] <ubudog> root i think
[03:54] <DasEi> bypass: i suggest startup with ssh on a non standard port, and get the idea of server-client;; call center ;-)might have some techies
[03:54] <ubudog> ls -a /var
[03:54] <DasEi> !vpn | bypass
[03:54] <bypass> yea but they wont tell me :)
[03:54] <ubudog> nm about that, wrong command
[03:54] <bypass> system engineers say company policy etc
[03:54] <ubudog> root
[03:54] <mr-grey2> it's crazy with these crackers you almost need an ip cloak just to browse the net
[03:55] <ubudog> it is root
[03:55] <Dr_Willis> always great when you get FIRED for bypassing company firewalls...
[03:55] <bypass> lol
[03:55] <ubudog> ls -ld /var
[03:55] <bypass> well btunnel works
[03:55] <TheFuzz4> I am looking for someone who can help exploit some stuff http://en.securitylab.ru/nvd/390818.php
[03:55] <TheFuzz4> that is what we are trying to exploit
[03:55] <dj_segfault> I've heard of WAY too many people getting fired for circumventing policies they thought were unreasonable
[03:55] <bypass> but its a crap proxy service id rather use my own connection
[03:55] <TheFuzz4> no this is not for anything illegal
[03:55] <DasEi> bypass: so could cost your job, they can easily monitor what's going on, though can't read the traffic
[03:55] <TheFuzz4> so if you can help please PM me
[03:56] <bypass> well i dont mean to do stuff outside policy
[03:56] <bypass> but you are right
[03:56] <Dr_Willis> TheFuzz4:  but its not really Ubuntu support related. :) so perhaps in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:56] <TheFuzz4> Thank you Dr_Willis will go there
[03:56] <Kutakizukari> can the terminal that comes with Ubuntu be used for cvs and diff?
[03:57] <dehqan> what is default permission of /var files ?
[03:57] <DasEi> bypass: company rules used to be in contracts, it's their property, so just for some fun at work .. get a sim adapter and a notebook
[03:57] <Dr_Willis> Kutakizukari:  'the terminal' is gnome-terminal you mean? it can do any terminal stiuff you need
[03:57] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  depends on the directory/file
[03:57] <Kutakizukari> Dr_Willis, thank you
[03:58] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  most subdirs are owned by root/root  or root/staff it seems
[03:58] <Kutakizukari> I downloaded smartcvs but do not know how to install it or to get it to run. Can anyone help?
[03:58] <dehqan> thanks all files in /var are 644 ?
[03:58] <a359> Colonel_Panik: yeah, I get that same behavior.
[03:59] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  they are not all the same .
[03:59] <Paineless> How does one change the default program to open a file in command prompt ?
[03:59] <alcala> how do I install codecs for 3gp??
[03:59] <jrib> Paineless: be more specific
[04:00] <dehqan> Dr_Willis:  humble made all 644 , will cause a problem ?
[04:00] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  No idea..  i imagine its NOT a good idea.
[04:00] <Paineless> jrib~ i downloaded a new torrent client and i want to make sure it's the program that gets opened rather than the old client
[04:00] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  so i bet there will be some issues sometime. they were the permissiosn they were.. for a reason
[04:01] <dehqan> is there anyway to make it like default
[04:01] <jrib> !defaultapp | Paineless
[04:01] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  /var/lock seems to be 777 well its              drwxrwxrwt  2 root root    40 2010-03-06 11:11 lock
[04:01] <rabbit> how do i reset my nickname in irc
[04:01] <Dr_Willis> never seen a 't' in permissions befor.
[04:01] <Paineless> jrib~ bash: !defaultapp: event not found
[04:01] <DasEi> rabbit: #freenode for such quests;  /nick NewName
[04:01] <jrib> Dr_Willis: sticky bit
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> Paineless:  ! stuff are BOT commands in the channel Not bash
[04:02] <jrib> Paineless: read what ubottu said
[04:02] <dehqan> is there anyway to make permission like default Dr_Willis
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> Paineless:  Unless you want tolearn about the bash history feature that uses ! :)
[04:02] <rabbit> DasEi: i am unable to login to #freenode
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  no idea.
[04:02] <javatexan> whoa.....I am sorry, I didn't know that they whole libstdc++.so.5 was such an explosive topic on ubuntu.....just read a bug report about it....wow
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  I would be suprised at a single/simple command that would do it.
[04:02] <DasEi> !register > rabbbit
[04:03] <Dr_Willis> javatexan:  never heard/noticed anything about it to be honest.  cant recall any explosive debates on it in here.
[04:03] <dehqan> Dr_Willis: not single
[04:03] <Paineless> jrib, Dr_Willis~ ah :P i was hoping for the prompt command
[04:03] <DasEi> !register > rabbit
[04:03] <Paineless> jrib, Dr_Willis~ i know how to do it GUI style
[04:03] <javatexan> nope...but read this  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/431091
[04:03] <stevecam> is Me Menu a new thing that is coming in to ubuntu?
[04:04] <jrib> Paineless: do it gui style.  Why don't you want to do it that way?
[04:05] <Paineless> jrib~ because i know how to do it that way.. and i was hoping to learn how to do it without the GUI.
[04:05] <DasEi> Paineless: a file gets opened by the command you call it in trml
[04:05] <jrib> Paineless: go read the freedesktop.org spec on desktop files I guess and about nautilus internals :/
[04:06] <Paineless> DasEi, jrib~ :p thanks guys, was just curious, ill check it out
[04:06] <dehqan>  /var files permission , all have been 644 with my bad , is there anyway to restore permissions to default ?
[04:07] <xfact> Ubuntu can handle Blu-ray disk? (if handles then please consider giving any support link for more details)
[04:07] <jrib> dehqan: reinstall is the easiest way
[04:07] <jrib> xfact: help.ubuntu.com/community has a page about blu-ray
[04:08] <xfact> That means Ubuntu supports blu-ray disk...?
[04:08] <DasEi> xfact: can, if drive is supported
[04:08] <dehqan> jrib: thanks
[04:08] <xfact> ok thanks

[04:22] <[_miT_]> lahc3n: there are different stackers and applets
[04:22] <[_miT_]> lahc3n: i wish i had it in front of me, i would tell you the exact name
[04:22] <[_miT_]> lahc3n: it might also help if you install the development applets (they're unstable, but fun)
[04:23] <lahc3n> ok i ll look for some extras in synaptic
[04:23] <luis_> whats the command to install blocked actualizations?
[04:24] <luis_> and why they are blocked actus...
[04:25] <boldfilter> how do i create a script for nautilus, gedit?
[04:25] <[_miT_]> lahc3n: you also have to configure the stack with what you want on that rainbow list
[04:25] <[_miT_]> lahc3n: forgot to mention that
[04:26] <[_miT_]> lahc3n: so you may have the correct applet, you just need to add to it

[04:29] <Kutakizukari> brjann, I did waiting for replay for awhile now did not know if anyone knew here. thank  you for your response
[04:29] <[_miT_]> arthurmaciel: but, i guess you could make a 'sudo dhclient' bash file and add it to cron jobs
[04:31] <luis_> whats the command to install blocked actualizations?
[04:31] <luis_> and why they are blocked actus...
[04:32] <[_miT_]> luis_: i dont know what that is :(

[04:44] <hatake_kakashi> Kamokow, its probably using the wrong character encoding in firefox
[04:44] <Kamokow> hatake_kakashi: Okay, thanks Ill try switching it. :)

[04:46] <khider> Hello all, I am trying to add another hard drive to my computer and to get it to mount it automatically--but keep getting error messeges
[04:46] <Balaji> Dear sirs, recently got my motherboard burnt, so I changed it, it is of different type but of the same brand- Biostar
[04:47] <hatake_kakashi> khider, what sort of error messages? and please use pastebin
[04:47] <Balaji> how do I refresh my hardware setings
[04:47] <khider> hatake_kakashi: OKay, just a sec
[04:47] <Jordan_U> Balaji, No need, pretty much everything is detected at boot.
[04:48] <x-blood-x> ..........
[04:48] <saml> hey, I need to pass sdhci.blacklist=yes  sdhci_pci.blacklist=yes    during boot. where can I put it so that i don't get kernel panic?  i'm using ubuntu netbook remix
[04:48] <hatake_kakashi> !repeat x-blood-x
[04:48] <khider> hatake_kakashi: http://pastebin.ca/1826276
[04:48] <saml> /boot/grub/menu.lst # i can't find this
[04:48] <hatake_kakashi> !repeat | x-blood-x
[04:48] <Balaji> Thanks Mr.Jordan
[04:48] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | saml
[04:48] <Jordan_U> Balaji, You're welcome.
[04:49] <hatake_kakashi> khider, most likely you may not have setup the partitions and formatted it, I suggest you use something like gparted
[04:49] <saml> Jordan_U: ah thanks!
[04:49] <Jordan_U> saml, You're welcome.
[04:49] <DeltaLima28> can you boot ubuntu over a network?  like a pexi boot?
[04:49] <khider> hatake_kakashi: I did use gparted and did format it with an ext3 filesystem
[04:49] <tacobell> Has anyone in here used backtrack?
[04:49] <codygman> yeah.. its awesome
[04:50] <Jordan_U> DeltaLima28, Yes
[04:50] <[_miT_]> tacobell: yes
[04:50] <arthurmaciel> [_miT_]: thank you! I'll do that. I thought it would be posible to add some 'dhcp auto' somewhere. thanks
[04:50] <DeltaLima28> Jordan_U, thanks
[04:50] <khider> Hetor`: I suspect my fstab is not configured properly, can I show you?
[04:50] <[_miT_]> arthurmaciel: no prob bob :)
[04:50] <khider> hatake_kakashi: Sorry, that was for you
[04:50] <hatake_kakashi> khider, hmm so its showing up as formatted but it still couldn't be mounted? I think you might need to manually edit /etc/fstab
[04:50] <tacobell> I'm new to it and would like some help and direction...
[04:51] <khider> hatake_kakashi: Yeah, can I show you what I have and you can check my homework?
[04:51] <hatake_kakashi> khider, well yeah I could help but an output of fdisk -l as root would also be handy
[04:51] <DeltaLima28> if i can boot ubuntu over the network and i have server2008 deployment server up, can i push it out through there?
[04:52] <khider> hatake_kakashi: http://pastebin.ca/1826279
[04:52] <tacobell> MIT?
[04:52] <[_miT_]> DeltaLima28: im sure you could. google up serving images via pixie on win2008
[04:52] <[_miT_]> tacobell: check your PM bro
[04:53] <khider> hatake_kakashi: http://pastebin.ca/1826280
[04:53] <DeltaLima28> [_miT_], thanks i will
[04:53] <saml> oh darn grub became so complicated. where would i add boot options like sdhci.blacklist=yes
[04:53] <Dr_Willis> saml:  if its a kernel option. In grub 2 i think thers a line in /etc/default/grub
[04:53] <xiambax> Hey, Is anyone here a community ppc developer?
[04:54] <Jordan_U> !anyone | xiambax
[04:54] <Dr_Willis> !ppc
[04:54] <hatake_kakashi> khider, you have a weird setup in your other hard drive
[04:54] <saml> Dr_proX: ah thanks. i was looking at /etc/grub.d
[04:54] <Kutakizukari> I get this while trying to install aptana plugin An error occurred while installing the items
[04:54] <Kutakizukari>   session context was:(profile=PlatformProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.engine.phases.Install, operand=null --> [R]org.eclipse.ant.ui 3.4.1.v20090901_r351, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.actions.InstallBundleAction).

[04:54] <Kutakizukari>  does this mean anything to anyone?
[04:54] <FloodBot4> Kutakizukari: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:55] <xiambax> Its not supported but I wanted to know if I could resize my hfs volume and dualboot from the alternative ppc disk
[04:55] <hatake_kakashi> khider, are you trying to fix a setup on that other hard drive or do you want to start clean?
[04:55] <khider> hatake_kakashi: It is not weird, it is incompetence
[04:55] <Jordan_U> xiambax, Yes, you can.
[04:55] <xiambax> Ok thanks
[04:55] <khider> hatake_kakashi: It is completely blank btw
[04:55] <hatake_kakashi> khider, well you weren't making it clear at start
[04:55] <khider> hatake_kakashi: Sorry, it is completely blank
[04:55] <hatake_kakashi> khider, apparently the disk isn't
[04:56] <khider> hatake_kakashi: The tera-byte is blank
[04:56] <khider> hatake_kakashi: How do you suggest I proceed?
[04:56] <hatake_kakashi> khider, it isn't, there's a partition table setup for it
[04:57] <hatake_kakashi> khider, look at your output of fdisk -l and tell me that /dev/sdb isn't blank
[04:57] <khider> hatake_kakashi: Okay, I was trying to format it but I guess I screwed up.
[04:57] <hatake_kakashi> khider, and what are your intentions with that spare terabyte hard disk? use it as a whole and start clean?
[04:58] <ShadeS> so it keeps freezing on 33% of the format, and my scroll andcaps lock keep flashing..
[04:58] <khider> hatake_kakashi: The 64G ss drive is for my OS and I want the terabyte for /home
[04:58] <Cork87> o/
[04:58] <hatake_kakashi> khider, so the terabyte you want to assign one big partition as home?
[04:59] <khider> hatake_kakashi: Yesh, is it possible?
[04:59] <aperson> is there a gnome equivalent to kooldock?
[04:59] <hatake_kakashi> khider, yes, you'll need to wipe the existing partition table of that /dev/sdb and to recreate one partition as ext3
[05:00] <xangua> aperson: what's kooldock¿¿ a dock¿¿
[05:01] <aperson> xangua, yes, though all it does is launch application (which is what I want)
[05:01] <xangua> aperson: you want a dock or a laucnher¿¿
[05:01] <xangua> gnome do is a dock and a launcher
[05:02] <racerd> what up everyone
[05:02] <racerd> i had a question..... but i just forgot it
[05:02] <xangua> there are also docky 2, cairo dock, avant window navigator (this uses a lot of ram)

[05:05] <saml> oh well i can't boot :(
[05:05] <adante> how can i reinstall a packages configuration files?
[05:05] <[_miT_]> adante: dpkg-reconfigure
[05:05] <ShadeS> any ideas on why this ide disk is showing up as scsi sda?
[05:05] <saml> i see ubuntu logo and it hangs..  it's weird i can boot from usb thumb drive with sdhci.blacklist=yes
[05:06] <adante> [_miT_]: thanks
[05:06] <[_miT_]> adante: np
[05:06] <aperson> xangua, well, I suppose a launcher would be a better description, I've tried using a panel that autohides for one, but it's not quiet what I want
[05:07] <jo-erlend> don't forget, people, that even in the next version of Ubuntu, you'll still be able to simply run the following command in order to make it look and feel like a real operating system: gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string ":minimize,maximize,close" :)
[05:07] <adante> [_miT_]: is there a way i can list what files are installed from a dpkg-reconfigure?
[05:08] <aperson> jo-erlend, ubuntu tweak can change it as well
[05:08] <[_miT_]> adante: i usually just use locate "name" for that, i know thats probably not the best method, but it works, lol
[05:08] <jo-erlend> aperson, as long as everyone knows Ubuntu isn't only for left-hand users.
[05:09] <khider> hatake_kakashi: Okay, how do I wipe my tera-byte clean because I am paranoid I will wipe my 64G drive in the process
[05:09] <adante> [_miT_]: i am trying to run dpkg-reconfigure asterisk - when there is no /etc/asterisk dir, it complains there is no /etc/asterisk dir.. but when there is it doesn't put anything inside
[05:09] <Aeronius> woot!!! I am l33t!!!!
[05:09] <ShadeS> why is this ide drive showing up as scsi??
[05:09] <Aeronius> irssi is super duper cool!!!!
[05:09] <[_miT_]> adante: sounds like you need to install it first
[05:09] <[_miT_]> Aeronius: indeed
[05:10] <jo-erlend> ShadeS, why do you say that?
[05:10] <hatake_kakashi> khider, I wouldn't worry about sanity, a simple editing of partition tables, delete all partitions on that disk, create one partition and simply let gparted run its process
[05:10] <adante> [_miT_]: dpkg -s asterisk says it is installed? is there a second level of installation i need to perform?
[05:11] <fek> helllllo
[05:11] <[_miT_]> adante: thats odd. are there conf files you want to keep? why not just purge and do a fresh install?
[05:11] <fek> I got a quick question that I hope someone can answer
[05:11] <[_miT_]> fek: just ask
[05:11] <rww> ShadeS: Linux uses SCSI emulation on IDE drives. Has done for years now.
[05:11] <jo-erlend> ShadeS, /dev/sdx is used by libata as well, so ide drives will also use it. There is no /dev/hdx anymore.
[05:11] <adante> [_miT_]: i did purge, and then i installed, and /etc/asterisk is empty, and then i ran dpkg-reconfigure asterisk, and it is still empty
[05:11] <ShadeS> because when i look at the motherboard it's clearly a 40pin connected to IDE1 yet thew disk partitioner reads SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) 61.5 GB ATA ic35L060AVER07-0
[05:11] <ShadeS> oh
[05:11] <racerd> how do i install 190 nvidia drivers?
[05:12] <[_miT_]> adante: are you positive that the asterisk package uses /etc/ ?
[05:12] <ShadeS> why is it freezing on at 33% then?
[05:12] <hatake_kakashi> racerd, through hardware drivers
[05:12] <saml> how can I blacklist sdhci? it looks like once i install from livecd, sdhci.blacklist=yes is not valid
[05:12] <fek> I have a friend who has a macbook and it took a dive on her....I have her hard drive hooked up to my box and can see her stuff but it says I dont have the correct permissions to access her folder?
[05:12] <racerd> only 185 is available
[05:12] <adante> [_miT_]: nope, i am not, that is why i was asking if there was a way of telling what dpkg-reconfigure did
[05:12] <fek> How can I remedy this...I tried to go into permissions but that doesnt give me an option
[05:13] <hatake_kakashi> saml, you'll need to access your ubuntu installation and manually add blacklist sdhci
[05:13] <adante> [_miT_]: of course i'm still not sure why dpkg-reconfigure would complain about no /etc/asterisk directory and then not do anything when there was one
[05:13] <khider> hatake_kakashi: Okay, it is wiped--what is teh next step?
[05:13] <racerd> i downloaded 190 and it is a .run
[05:13] <[_miT_]> adante: have you tried 'man asterisk' yet?
[05:13] <racerd> where do i throw that to have the hardware drivers app find it?
[05:13] <[_miT_]> adante: might have further documentation on setup, folders, ect
[05:14] <hatake_kakashi> khider, try mounting it if you can, copy your /home contents across and edit your /etc/fstab
[05:14] <adante> [_miT_]: well i have used asterisk in other distros, it uses /etc/asterisk, i don't know about ubuntu
[05:14] <saml> hatake_kakashi: i mounted /dev/sda1  from livecd and chroot ed to /mnt/sda1
[05:14] <saml> which file do I edit?
[05:14] <hatake_kakashi> saml, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[05:14] <khider> hatake_kakashi: how do I label it /home?
[05:14] <racerd> soooo what do with this .run file to install the drivers?
[05:15] <hatake_kakashi> racerd, I wouldn't recommend doing that
[05:15] <saml> hatake_kakashi: thanks
[05:15] <xangua> racerd: have you tried 'envy' ¿¿
[05:15] <racerd> recommend doing what?
[05:15] <hatake_kakashi> khider, you don't need to label it, specifying it in mount is more than enough
[05:15] <racerd> envy?
[05:15] <[_miT_]> adante: have you tried 'locate asterisk' to see where all its files are?
[05:15] <xangua> for installing nvidia or ati drivers
[05:16] <hatake_kakashi> racerd, recommend installing it manually, if you screw it up in the process you may not be able to gain further support from here
[05:16] <[_miT_]> adante: ive had to reboot sometimes for locate to see newly installed files tho
[05:16] <racerd> hmmm
[05:16] <racerd> so i should use envy?
[05:17] <saml> is xubuntu recommended? is there something lighter?
[05:17] <adante> [_miT_]: yeah uh, heh
[05:17] <xangua> saml: lubuntu, still beta
[05:17] <hatake_kakashi> !envy > racerd
[05:17] <johnjohn101> what is the module i need to install to monitor cpu temperature?
[05:17] <saml> xangua: thanks let me check it out
[05:17] <hatake_kakashi> saml, I personally use xubuntu, its not that much lighter but its more clean imo
[05:17] <xangua> saml: there is also fluxbuntu, but it looks abandoned
[05:18] <[_miT_]> saml: i have crunchbang linux installed on my low end boxes, LOVE IT.
[05:18] <saml> yah i tried crunchbang   it's almost perfect for me but it's 9.04
[05:18] <bastid_raZor> !sensors | johnjohn101 check out this page
[05:18] <Dr_Willis> whats the Point in light if features you want are missing. :)
[05:18] <[_miT_]> saml: jinx :)
[05:18] <Dr_Willis> You can always just install openbox or whatever and use that if you wanted.
[05:18] <racerd> ok so if i wish to install the nvidia 190 drivers
[05:18] <racerd> what is the best route i should take?
[05:18] <hatake_kakashi> Dr_Willis, you could simply use console and do away without GUI :) and don't forget about ratpoison
[05:19] <hatake_kakashi> racerd, if you want support, forget 190, if you want to do this alone, get envy
[05:19] <racerd> ah
[05:19] <racerd> why didn't you say that before
[05:19] <saml> oh well netbook remix needs some work.. livecd works but when i installed and finally booted after editing /etc/modprob.d/blacklist.conf, mouse does not work :P
[05:19] <racerd> speaking of support
[05:19] <hatake_kakashi> racerd, I did but you were getting carried away about envy
[05:20] <ShadeS> uhmmmmm
[05:20] <Dr_Willis> hatake_kakashi:  i try hard to forget about ratpoision and other similer things
[05:20] <ShadeS> red in the memtest means bad rght?
[05:20] <hatake_kakashi> Dr_Willis, lol
[05:20] <saml> keyboard does not work either :(
[05:20] <[_miT_]> ShadeS: yes :)
[05:20] <[_miT_]> lol
[05:20] <Dr_Willis> ShadeS:  proberly
[05:20] <pab> Could someone direct me to a recent manual for properly setting up adodb?
[05:20] <racerd> you said in code or something, no one told me this is only supporting 185 drivers in this channel
[05:20] <racerd> any case
[05:20] <ShadeS> how can  tell what bank?
[05:20] <fek> mIT...did you happen to see my question?
[05:21] <racerd> my speakers on my laptop don't have sound, just my headphone jack
[05:21] <[_miT_]> fek: i did not, sir
[05:21] <Dr_Willis> Ubuntu tends to follow a 6 mo. release cycle. so the latest versions of stuff is not always  the 'supported' version
[05:21] <fek> I have a friend who has a macbook and it took a dive on her....I have her hard drive hooked up to my box and can see her stuff but it says I dont have the correct permissions to access her folder?
[05:21] <[_miT_]> fek: you have the HFS packages installed?
[05:21] <hatake_kakashi> racerd, no it varies depending on which distro version you use, I'm on xubuntu 9.04 and the only last nvidia driver I have is 180 or 175
[05:21] <fek> I can see the drive and the folders
[05:21] <Dr_Willis> fek:  mount it with the proper options, or use sudo user/method to access the files
[05:21] <[_miT_]> fek: HFS is the file system apple uses
[05:22] <[_miT_]> fek: ah ok, then you're already there :)
[05:22] <jiehan> Hello! Does anyone would help me solve the VirtualBox USB problem in Lucid Lynx alpha 3?
[05:22] <fek> I just cant access her photos, music and such
[05:22] <racerd> yeah i figured that
[05:22] <hatake_kakashi> !lucid | jiehan
[05:22] <fek> it is saying that I dont have the correct permissions
[05:22] <fek> and I tried to change them but cant
[05:22] <khider> hatake_kakashi: I am trying to automount it, but still have to supply a password, as for my fstab, what is there to edit?
[05:22] <adante> does anybody know if hte asterisk package on 9.10 is supposed to work?
[05:22] <hatake_kakashi> fek, its possible that its different ownership of files
[05:22] <Dr_Willis> fek:  then use the root user to access the files
[05:22] <fek> yes
[05:22] <racerd> what should i do about my sound issue?
[05:23] <fek> that is what it is telling me
[05:23] <fek> so do I have to log out and log into root?
[05:23] <racerd> are there some drivers out there i can get my hands on? or am i stuck with that as well?
[05:23] <markd> i am trying to get a driver for my wmp300n i do not have a internet connection on this computer or a ubuntu cd
[05:23] <markd> what do i do
[05:23] <[_miT_]> adante: have you thought about compiling it from source? the package in the repos might be dated.
[05:23] <hatake_kakashi> khider, the specifying passwd most likely means that only root can mount block devices which is typical.. as for fstab, you'll need to add an entry for that newly created disk to be /home.. think about it
[05:24] <khider> hatake_kakashi: Okay, makes sense
[05:24] <hatake_kakashi> fek, you don't have to, you can simply use sudo and then chown
[05:24] <jiehan> hatake_kakashi: Thanks, I will.
[05:24] <fek> I dont know how to do that
[05:24] <adante> [_miT_]: yeah i used to, that's what i did in 8.10, but i upgraded and it blew up, so i figured why not use the package management system to manage my packages
[05:24] <fek> I am noobie
[05:24] <fek> to the core here
[05:24] <ShadeS> BOOOO bad memory
[05:24] <hatake_kakashi> racerd, there's a new version of ubuntu out but that's only if you want to stick more close to the bleeding edge side of ubuntu
[05:24] <adante> [_miT_]: i'm a bit crazy, i guess i make stupid assumptions about packages in apt working, heh
[05:24] <markd> i need a driver for wmp 300n i do not have the internet on this computer or a ubuntu dvd
[05:25] <hatake_kakashi> fek, well you'll need to use terminal for most of that to be honest
[05:25] <fek> is it pretty simple?
[05:25] <racerd> yeah i know, but i really just want to fix my sound
[05:25] <fek> or rather hard?
[05:25] <racerd> i was asking if that was an option with 9.10 or not
[05:25] <hatake_kakashi> markd, do you have a spare network cable that you could plug it into the computer? or somehow share a network connection?
[05:25] <fek> I have my terminal up right now
[05:26] <hatake_kakashi> fek, initially it'll probably be a little hard but once you get used to it, its pretty easy
[05:26] <hatake_kakashi> racerd, I'm sure the nvidia driver is only for video, not for sound
[05:26] <fek> any place for some documentation...or can you lead me through it?
[05:26] <racerd> for the love of god
[05:26] <Dr_Willis> fek:  install 'mc' use 'sudo mc' for a file manager..   in mc use Fkeys to do differnt things
[05:26] <Dr_Willis> fek:  the drive is in /media/ somewhere
[05:27] <hatake_kakashi> fek, http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fileowner.html
[05:27] <racerd> i am well aware that the nvidia drivers have nothing to do with my sound
[05:27] <Dr_Willis> racerd:  unless you got an nvidia sound card. :)
[05:27] <khider> hatake_kakashi: What seems to be happening is that I am making new directories, but leaving the tera-byte untouched. I cannot make the OS use the tera-byte as part of the drives that don't need to be mounted
[05:27] <racerd> no i don't
[05:27] <racerd> .......
[05:28] <LLStarks> soundstorm was awesome.
[05:28] <LLStarks> i miss the nforce2.
[05:28] <khider> hatake_kakashi: All my changes to the fstab do not affect the tera-byte
[05:28] <markd> anyone have any ideas on my issue? trying to get a driver for wmp300n do not have internet on that computer or ubuntu disk
[05:28] <racerd> i just want to know if there is anything i can do to get the speakers on my laptop to work
[05:28] <tongueroo> hey guys, how do you start up logrotate.. ?
[05:28] <tongueroo> so its always running
[05:29] <[_miT_]> tongueroo: you can add it to cron jobs, or create a rc.d for it
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> I thought logrotage was ran by cron allready every so often
[05:29] <khider> hatake_kakashi: Perhaps a re-install is the best way to fix it and specify during the install process?
[05:29] <[_miT_]> Dr_Willis: tongueroo: that could be the case too
[05:30] <Dr_Willis> ive never touched logrotate. and my logs get archived. :)
[05:30] <[_miT_]> Dr_Willis: same :)
[05:30] <fek> so in terminal I do this  $ chown fek /media/d41f6a62-53ce-3b65-bf77-fd3d5c752e4c
[05:30] <markd> anyone?
[05:30] <fek> right?
[05:30] <CaDj> Hi, is there a quick way to display any disk drive problems in xubuntu?
[05:30] <[_miT_]> markd: i have the same card!!!
[05:30] <markd> im trying to get a driver for my wmp300n do not have internet on that computer or ubuntu cd
[05:30] <Dr_Willis> fek:  depending on the filesystem in use. that may or may NOT work.,
[05:30] <[_miT_]> markd: it worked back on 7.10, but hasnt worked since
[05:30] <fek> NOT being a bad thing?
[05:31] <[_miT_]> markd: ive been meaning to go back and see what they were using for it, but havent had the chance
[05:31] <fek> or it just wont work
[05:31] <Dr_Willis> fek:  i allreayd suggested using 'sudo mc' as a file manager that runs as root to access the files
[05:31] <randomeruser> i have a ra2860 wireless chipset and ra2860 drivers from the repositories. now what?
[05:31] <fek> I dont know how to get that
[05:31] <markd> is anyone here using wmp300n
[05:31] <Dr_Willis> fek:  you cant change permissions/ownership on the fly with ntfs/vfat/ and other non linux type filesystems
[05:31] <fek> I am sorry...really cherry here
[05:31] <airtonix> !anyone | markd
[05:32] <Dr_Willis> fek:  or you could CAREFULLY run nautilus file manager as root with 'gkduso nautilus /media/whateverthat#was'
[05:32] <Dr_Willis> fek:  then copy the stuff somewhere
[05:32] <Dr_Willis> be sure to CLOSE that nautilus window when done.
[05:32] <fek> ok..I can try that
[05:33] <Dr_Willis> This is why i susggested the mc file manager.. a little safer that way
[05:33] <fek> I will search for the mc file manager instead
[05:33] <Dr_Willis> fek:  sudo apt-get install mc
[05:33] <Dr_Willis> then  'sudo mc'
[05:33] <brjann> Dr_Willis: he could always remount that drive read-only
[05:33] <khider> Anyone here know an easy way to add another hard drive to a computer and have it automounted?
[05:34] <khider> Forest gump it to me
[05:34] <Dr_Willis> khider:  trivial..   add a proper entry in the /etc/fstab
[05:34] <Dr_Willis> !mount
[05:34] <Dr_Willis> !fstab
[05:35] <Mike-G> is there no way to control bass/treble in 9.10?
[05:35] <khider> Dr_Willis: Can I show you what I have and you can correct it?
[05:35] <todd_> hello, does anyone know what a troll in the cyber world is?
[05:35] <Dr_Willis> khider:  you can pastebin your fstab for us to look at if you want.. and output of 'sudo fdisk -l'
[05:35] <[_miT_]> Mike-G: usually control that with my amp. would love to find out if you can
[05:36] <Dr_Willis> !troll
[05:36] <khider> Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.ca/1826329
[05:36] <Mike-G> there used to be bass/treble control in an older version of Ubuntu I remember
[05:36] <Dr_Willis> khider:  so what one is having the issue?
[05:37] <todd_> does anyone know anything about DVR's
[05:37] <khider> Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.ca/1826333
[05:37] <[_miT_]> todd_: you should check out mythubuntu
[05:37] <Dr_Willis> todd_:  they exist.. :)  care to be more specific?
[05:37] <khider> Dr_Willis: I want the tera-byte to be mounted (it is a blank disk)
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> khider:  you mean /dev/sdb ? 1000.2 Gb?
[05:38] <[_miT_]> khider: Dr_Willis: easiest way is probably with gparted, you can format it as EXT3 or 4 and mount it
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> khider:  its not even partioned..  you must partion it and put a filesystem on it
[05:38] <khider> Dr_Willis: Yeah
[05:38] <fek> Dr_Willis: ...should I preserve attributes when copying the directory over?
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> khider:  use gparted.
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> fek:  Depends on what  the fs is and what data is on it. and what fs you are copying it to
[05:39] <khider> Dr_Willis: I formatted it--it says tera-byte but only 931 G is available, what happened tp 70G
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> khider:  fdisk, (partition), format, mount. :)  and why do you have a 'noauto' option in the fstab? and the mountpoint directory /media/1000??? MUST exist befor you can mount it.
[05:40] <fek> file system is ntfs
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> khider:  5% is reserved.
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> fek:  then it wont matter
[05:40] <fek> k..here I go then
[05:41] <rimdeker> Guys, I want to change the positioning in GRUB but there is no menu.lst in my /boot/grub/
[05:41] <rimdeker> What do I do?
[05:41] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | rimdeker
[05:41] <Dr_Willis> grub1 and grub2 use diffrent configs
[05:42] <khider> Dr_Willis: The name of the tera-byte can be fixed, I was trying different names to get it to work--including logical names, so far no dice
[05:42] <rimdeker> But as far as I know mine is not Grub2
[05:42] <fek> I dont see a foler in there yet even though it is running?  Should I be able to see the folder?
[05:42] <Dr_Willis> khider:  the MOUNTPOINT 'name' must exist.. the /dev/sdXXX is the device name.
[05:42] <Dr_Willis> khider:  you can mount it whever you want
[05:42] <Dr_Willis> khider:  and you dont need all the options you are using in your /etc/fstab for the sdb2 entry
[05:43] <zinox> there is any tutorial teaching set up animated wallpaper in nautilus-desktop?
[05:43] <khider> Dr_Willis: What options do I need?
[05:43] <Dr_Willis> zinox:  ive seen guides on making wallpapers that 'change' every so often. but none on 'animated'
[05:43] <Dr_Willis> khider:  proberly just 'defaults'
[05:43] <PomkaLK> Admins....need help, how know my password of this ircLogin
[05:43] <[_miT_]> zinox: one of our irc users just installed something to make his desktop animated
[05:44] <[_miT_]> zinox: let me check on it
[05:44] <Ruge> Anyone know how to run finnal cut studio??
[05:44] <zinox> xwinwrap?
[05:44] <[_miT_]> Ruge: get KDEnLive
[05:44] <[_miT_]> zinox: yes!
[05:44] <zinox> ok
[05:44] <Ruge> Oh right
[05:44] <[_miT_]> zinox: you beat me to it :0
[05:44] <zinox> hehe
[05:45] <Tomcat2010> is it possible to get internet explorer on ubuntu 9.04?
[05:45] <[_miT_]> Ruge: i use it to edit all my video tutorials @ http://www.youtube.com/omgitsmit
[05:45] <Dr_Willis> !ies4linux
[05:45] <[_miT_]> Dr_Willis: beat me to it :)
[05:45] <Pyru> Hello, new to ubuntu here, im accessing my VPS over SSH, trying to install a desktop environment so I can remote assistance, any help in the right direction is appreciated, thanks.
[05:45] <randomeruser> soooo.... i have a ra2860 wireless chipset and ra2860 drivers from the repositories. now what?
[05:45] <Jordan_U> Ruge, It's not possible to run final cut studio except with OSX in a VM ( which I think is currently illegal ). You might be interested in Ubuntu Studio though.
[05:46] <[_miT_]> Pyru: start with xOrg, then pick your desktop manager, like gnome or KDE
[05:46] <Ruge> Mmm was looking to run my final cut softwware more specifically :)
[05:46] <Tomcat2010> i tried using ies4linux and i cant get it to work using all the online tutorials!
[05:46] <Dr_Willis> Tomcat2010:  check its homep[age/forums perhaps for help I guess
[05:46] <[_miT_]> Tomcat2010: you can try IE through wine, but i dont recall it working. hence the ie4linux project
[05:46] <rimdeker> Dr_Willis: That link is useless. As I said, there is no menu.lst in my grub folder. I cannot do as told in that link of yours.
[05:47] <Dr_Willis> rimdeker:  grub2 does NOT have a menu.lst it has its own set of configs.  You need to edit the proper configs for whtever version of grub you are using
[05:47] <Dr_Willis> rimdeker:  if you are using grub1 you should have a menu.lst , since you dont. either its been deleted (doubtfull) or you are using grub2
[05:47] <rimdeker> Dr_Willis: I do NOT have grub2 ... thanks for your help, though. Appreciate it..
[05:47] <Dr_Willis> rimdeker:  then you some how lost the file I guess.
[05:48] <PcCowboy> quick question,  i was looking thru the documentation but could not find supported prossers types,  will standerd ubuntu work on a celeron (i have an hp pavilion 522n - C (W) 1.8 GHz/400)
[05:48] <markd> trying to install wmp300n driver no internet connection on this pc can i use a old ubuntu 8.10 disk to install network drivers?
[05:48] <fek> Dr_Willis: Will the files that I am transfering over to the ntfs drive from the mac drive be visible to me?
[05:48] <rimdeker> Dr_Willis: I doubt it, installed Ubuntu like a few hours ago. As far as I know my Grub is 1.9.7 something. Maybe it changed due to the update...
[05:48] <Dr_Willis> fek:  no idea. depends on how the ntfs is mounteed
[05:48] <flippyflop> Anyone know how to set macro keys in ubuntu/gnome? I want to be able to hit a combo: ex- "ctrl-A" and get an output of ex: "asdf1234"
[05:48] <zinox> [_miT_], http://code.google.com/p/gwinwrap/ i fount it
[05:48] <rimdeker> Dr_Willis: I suppose you do not know what config file I need to change..
[05:48] <Dr_Willis> rimdeker:   what verison of ubuntu? grub2 IS the default on 9.10
[05:49] <rahul_> I am failing to install drivers for my ATI Radeon HD 3450
[05:49] <Pyru> [_miT_]: from shell, i ran, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[05:49] <fek> k..thanks for the hlep man!  I appreciate the time you take to do this!
[05:49] <Dr_Willis> !info grub-pc
[05:49] <Dr_Willis> rimdeker:  and i think the actual version # for grub2 IS '1.97'
[05:49] <Dr_Willis> rimdeker:  so it looks like you are very likely using grub2
[05:50] <rimdeker> Dr_Willis: Alright. I'll try asking google how to change stuff in Grub2 lol
[05:50] <[_miT_]> Pyru: that might do it. i've never installed xorg on my servers :( i like to have 100% of my resources available to me
[05:50] <Dr_Willis> rimdeker:  its documented at the !grub2 factoid the bot mentioned.. and the grub homepage
[05:50] <Dr_Willis> rimdeker:  /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/XXXXXX files
[05:51] <Pyru> [_miT_]: after the install finishes, curious what command over shell would I run to allow remote? or can I get a remote desktop connection with screen view from an ssh command?
[05:51] <rimdeker> Dr_Willis: Alright, thank you. Well "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE This is the main Grub 2 file. It "replaces" Grub Legacy's /boot/grub/menu.lst. This file contains the Grub menu instructions. Unlike Grub Legacy's menu.lst file, grub.cfg is NOT MEANT TO BE EDITED!!! "
[05:51] <rimdeker> Dr_Willis: Should I edit it? lol
[05:52] <Dr_Willis> rimdeker:  corredt.. do NOT edit that file.. i  told you the other files you are supposed to edit
[05:52] <PcCowboy> i'll try the forums.
[05:52] <[_miT_]> Pyru: start x server
[05:52] <JustaNumber> when I get my ubuntu system all set up, is there something I can copy so I can replicate the installation on another machine? i.e. save the details of what's been apt-gotten
[05:52] <Dr_Willis> rimdeker:  edit it if you want.. but eveyr time you 'update-grub' it will get overwritten
[05:52] <[_miT_]> Pyru: you might need to figure out how to get vnc running from terminal, so you can remote in
[05:52] <rimdeker> Dr_Willis: Aye aye
[05:52] <Pyru> [_miT_]: should be a tutorial somewhere heh.

[05:59] <PcCowboy> lol, figured i;'d ask before trying, it's going to be for my GF. ;-P
[05:59] <pikeshouse88> hi guys. i am setting up a home media server. primary use will be for watch hd content and remotely managing downloads. my question is, having openssh and webmin up all the time, is it necessary for good security for me to install and configure ossec and snort?
[05:59] <airtonix> rodnie, you wont get very far with that page
[05:59] <pikeshouse88> or would that be overkill is i were just to stick with ufw
[06:00] <airtonix> pikeshouse88, not having those two services on default ports is a good start
[06:00] <airtonix> pikeshouse88, also : it's not paranoia when you know they are out to get you
[06:00] <pikeshouse88> airtonix: i gotcha.
[06:00] <[_miT_]> pikeshouse88: openssh = secure layer, webmin runs on https
[06:00] <[_miT_]> pikeshouse88: in otherwords, you should be fine
[06:00] <[_miT_]> pikeshouse88: pick a good password!!
[06:00] <khider> Dr_Willis: Are you there?
[06:00] <[_miT_]> lol
[06:00] <pikeshouse88> i also will frequently use x11vnc
[06:01] <Dr_Willis> khider:  hmm?
[06:01] <cxo> How the hell do you get the terminal to use the "default" profile automatically? I need to set it each time otherwise it goes into that weird purple one
[06:01] <Ou42> anybody know if "Update Manager" would change grub on a usb keydrive install of ubuntu 9.10?
[06:01] <pikeshouse88> any concerns there?
[06:01] <rodnie> airtonix why ?
[06:01] <khider> Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.ca/1826357
[06:01] <Dr_Willis> khider:  and what of it?
[06:01] <Pyru> [_miT_]: hate to single you out, but after running start x server I get this output of errors.
[06:01] <Pyru> http://pastebin.com/vinsBsb2
[06:01] <aaron_liuj> how to stop overwrite /etc/resolv.conf by system
[06:02] <khider> Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.ca/1826358
[06:02] <[_miT_]> Pyru: i've never installed xorg on my servers, i need all the resources i can get.
[06:02] <laron> are there any benefits to setting up an xubuntu ltsp server vs. a straight ubuntu ltsp server?
[06:02] <Dr_Willis> khider:  partions are named /dev/sdb1 or similer   a DEVICE is /dev/sdb
[06:02] <laron> speed, etc?
[06:02] <Dr_Willis> khider:  you mount /dev/sdb1 not /dev/sdb
[06:02] <khider> Dr_Willis: I am still having trouble mounting the TB
[06:02] <Dr_Willis> khider:  fstab line is wrong
[06:02] <airtonix> rodnie, 1) if you copy paste stuff from there verbatim, your going to get errors (dont include the $ ) 2)  it talks about changing the input device via xorg.conf 3) it doesn't explain how to start the process properly ( you need to open gnome-terminal >> press alt+f2 and type gnome-terminal, then follow steps on the page )
[06:02] <[_miT_]> Pyru: im sure there are some articles on how to do this. a lot of people starting out with ubuntu servers want xorg there for troubleshooting
[06:03] <aaron_liuj> i cannot to connect the internnet sometime how to stop overwrite /etc/resolv.conf by system
[06:03] <airtonix> rodnie, 9.10 doesn't use the xorg.conf file very much anymore. so don't be surprised if that page doesn't produces the results you're looking for once you finished the steps
[06:03] <pikeshouse88> how secure would using x11vnc be?
[06:03] <Pyru> [_miT_]: thanks, I'll look up.
[06:03] <rodnie> airtonix you readme on private?
[06:03] <khider> Dr_Willis:I changed the line but still get the same error
[06:03] <Dr_Willis> pikeshouse88:  not very.
[06:03] <airtonix> rodnie, no.
[06:03] <vega> aaron_liuj: put nameservers in /etc/network/interfaces

[06:04] <rodnie> can we talk little bit of this inj private

[06:04] <almoxarife> aaron_liuj: what gets ovewrote?
[06:04] <[_miT_]> pikeshouse88: vnc does pass its password in clear text

[06:05] <rodnie> i readit ubottu but need quickly help
[06:05] <rimdeker> By the way guys, almost everytime I use a command in the terminal , especially as su I get this error message like twenty times in a row inside the terminal

[06:06] <almoxarife> aaron_liuj: look at dhclient.conf as an option for them dns entrees
[06:06] <airtonix> rodnie, what is your native language
[06:06] <[_miT_]> rodnie: save the "script" to a text file (gedit is nice to use for this)
[06:06] <rodnie> spanish
[06:06] <khider> Dr_Willis: I think it is working now...
[06:06] <aaron_liuj> i have tried ,but failed
[06:07] <airtonix> rodnie, can you read german by chance ?
[06:07] <[_miT_]> rodnie: go to the spanish ubuntu channel
[06:07] <khider> Dr_Willis: And yes, when it comes to linux I am often fundamentally wrong
[06:07] <rodnie> no german
[06:07] <airtonix> rodnie, ok. one sec
[06:07] <Dr_Willis> khider:  mounting fileysstmes is a rather fundamental thing. and theres Tons of guides/docs on it.  Just somt things you have to watch out for  in some cases
[06:07] <almoxarife> aaron_liuj: if the dns entrees are in dhclient.conf they would not be overwrote, so where are they now?

[06:10] <GeekSquid> tweetbox: lucid IS NOT STABLE, you don't want it until it is released, and is not supported here, because it is still in developent
[06:10] <[_miT_]> luis__: have you checked your logs?
[06:11] <khider> Dr_Willis: Okay, thanks, I am learning here---jeez--the simple things are hard for me to grasp at times. It seems simple but it is tough for me
[06:11] <aaron_liuj> and add tail prepend domain-name-server  210.22.84.3 ,210.22.70.3
[06:11] <airtonix> nemmons, no it means the game is expecting certain opengl functions that are not provided by the drivers or that you do not have correct wine registry settings for directx setup
[06:11] <natethegreat1419> He could get Lucid but he needs to be aware it aint the final release
[06:11] <aaron_liuj> but still overwrieted vy system after a while
[06:11] <almoxarife> aaron_liuj: you using dnsmasq?
[06:11] <aaron_liuj> but still overwrieted by system after a while
[06:12] <nemmons> airtonix: sigh, thanks. i'll look into that and see if i can figure out what's wrong.
[06:12] <aaron_liuj> no
[06:12] <airtonix> nemmons, winhq page for the game is a good start
[06:12] <shafi> anyone has the experience of using "SCRUM" in ubuntu?

[06:13] <rimdeker> "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the rep..."
[06:13] <nemmons> airtonix: yeah i found a page about 'useful registry keys', maybe this will help.
[06:13] <airtonix> flippyflop, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/BashScripting
[06:13] <rimdeker> Anybody got a solution, to that?
[06:13] <[_miT_]> aaron_liuj: assign a static IP to the interface via /etc/network/interfaces
[06:13] <almoxarife> aaron_liuj: were you suppose to include 127.0.0.1 in the prepend? I am not saying you must, I am wondering if you should have?
[06:13] <airtonix> nemmons, might do but does the comments on the winehq page for the game talk about regkeys that work ?
[06:14] <[_miT_]> luis__: dmesg or look in /var/log
[06:14] <luis__> sudo aptitude dmesg?
[06:14] <airtonix> luis_, no : sudo dmesg | tail
[06:14] <tweetbox> GeekSquid: I know it is not stable, and I am bug testing, but there is always a huge bug that I need to avoid that I would need to know about beforehand
[06:15] <[_miT_]> airtonix: luis_: thank you :)
[06:15] <GeekSquid> tweetbox: and this is the wrong place to ask, and probably the wrong time of day, and it is a weekend, try during the week in #ubuntu+1 and it will be a little busier

[06:30] <GeekSquid> aaron_liuj: please change your charector encoding to UTF-8 or ASCII so we can read you
[06:30] <blakkheim> !cn > aaron_liuj
[06:31] <aaron_liuj> fuck my /etc/resolv.conf by system rewrite so frequently
[06:31] <blakkheim> there you go
[06:31] <bazhang> aaron_liuj, no cursing here
[06:31] <losher> I preferred the chinese version
[06:32] <xiambax> im trying to patch windfarm on my imac g5
[06:33] <Dr_Willis> xiambax:  you mean you are trying to apply a patch to the SOURCE for windfarm ?
[06:33] <xiambax> Yes
[06:33] <xiambax> I suppose so
[06:33] <xiambax> The fans rev up and down, up and down
[06:35] <losher> xiambax: is it the patch from  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/iMacG5iSight?action=show&redirect=iMacG5revC
[06:36] <xiambax> Yes
[06:36] <losher> xiambax: so what's the problem?
[06:36] <fcuk112> omg i just discovered LXDE today.  it rocks!  kthxbye.
[06:37] <SnakDoc> where a good place to read about 3g modems ? mines not disconneting correcly
[06:37] <bullgard> GeekSquid: No, neither /usr/share/doc/seahorse/README nor /usr/share/doc/seahorse-pluginss/README contain the text of the yelp manual about 'Passwords and Encryption Keys'.
[06:38] <GeekSquid> bullgard: http://geeksquid.pastebin.ca/1826415
[06:39] <xiambax> losher, Im trying to patch windfarm, my fans rev up and then down again
[06:39] <xiambax> its a known issue apparently
[06:40] <PomkaLK> How created registrated channal with passwd?
[06:41] <pikeshouse88> so, with openssh, vnc through ssh, netatalk, and webmin installed, with ufw configured, i'm going to be safe and dont need snort and ossec?
[06:41] <pikeshouse88> no lamp services
[06:41] <[_miT_]> pikeshouse88: lol you're still asking about that?
[06:41] <pikeshouse88> its a big concern, never set up a server before
[06:41] <[_miT_]> pikeshouse88: it seems you're not going to be happy until you install snort or ossec
[06:42] <pikeshouse88> well i just dont understand what their intended audience is
[06:42] <pikeshouse88> all servers or corporate firewalls
[06:42] <pikeshouse88> or something in between
[06:42] <bullgard> GeekSquid: I have read an updated version of the text which you just provided. My text relates to GNOME 2.28.1 because I am using Karmic. But it is essentially the same text. Your and my text refer to a "included help manual". I did ask for the filename of the included help manual.
[06:44] <[_miT_]> pikeshouse88: even with the savest encryption and updated packages, i can still spoof your ssh connection via MiTM
[06:44] <[_miT_]> pikeshouse88: i.e. nothing is 100% safe, it seems you're very concered with the network. so go ahead and snort :)
[06:44] <ShazbotMcMurder> chrome won't die!!
[06:44] <GeekSquid> bullgard: more in /usr/share/doc/gnome-keyring ... and I am still looking
[06:44] <[_miT_]> ShazbotMcMurder: kill eet!
[06:44] <ShazbotMcMurder> I tried to kill it, won't do anything
[06:44] <ShazbotMcMurder> so I did killall chrome
[06:44] <[_miT_]> ShazbotMcMurder: kill -9
[06:44] <ShazbotMcMurder> and it went "AHH SNAP"
[06:44] <almoxarife> malcolm in the middle?
[06:45] <xiambax> Anbyone?
[06:45] <xiambax> s/Anyone?
[06:45] <losher> pikeshouse88: in principle yes. In practice, it's scarily easy to get configs wrong and cause a security hole. I prefer to keep a NAT router between my linux boxes and the internet. And configure ssh for keyed access only. Sorry, dunno anything about netatalk...
[06:46] <losher> xiambax: any time you're ready to actually ask a specific question, we'll try and answer it...
[06:47] <[_miT_]> losher: he was asking about wind farm patching
[06:47] <xiambax> How can I patch my kernel so my fans arn't constantly reving?
[06:48] <pikeshouse88> losher: unfortunately my ssh access to the server is randomly needed from many computers, so key only access isnt feasible correct
[06:49] <bullgard> GeekSquid: gnome-keyring is a related subject. But it is not the answer that I am looking for.
[06:49] <almoxarife> I have found that when running my laptop on a block of dry ice the fans never come on, should I be worried?
[06:49] <gregg> Hi - i'm having HUGE problems controlling my smb mounted folders - right now I can't umount anything, even with -f, and a list over my mounts is showing the mounts several times - this is getting frustrating, and probably the reason my shutdown takes so long time :(
[06:49] <bullgard> almoxarife: No.
[06:50] <almoxarife> bullgard: cool :)
[06:50] <losher> pikeshouse88: agreed. Insist on good passwords, no root logins, and if you run on the standard port 22, expect people to actively try and break in...
[06:50] <GeekSquid> bullgard: I realize that and I am still looking about... some other places I'll look too
[06:51] <almoxarife> what's the command line to force a package to un-install regardless of of any errors it can cause?
[06:51] <losher> pikeshouse88: see http://www.i-justblog.com/2009/08/openssh-server-best-security-practices.html
[06:51] <pikeshouse88> if im not running snort or ossec, is there any other good security software thats worth it
[06:51] <pikeshouse88> like fail2ban perhaps
[06:52] <gregg> Hi - i'm having HUGE problems controlling my smb mounted folders - right now I can't umount anything, even with -f, and a list over my mounts is showing the mounts several times - this is getting frustrating, and probably the reason my shutdown takes so long time - output of 'mount' on my machine is here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/zBaceFeD
[06:53] <[_miT_]> gregg: didnt look at your pastebin, but is something using the mounted drive preventing you from unmounting?
[06:54] <gregg> [_miT_]: there shouldn't be afaik
[06:54] <[_miT_]> gregg: just a shot in the dark, lol
[06:54] <[_miT_]> gregg: i wouldnt be the best person to solve your problem :( sorry
[06:54] <gregg> [_miT_]: it's actually a few shares on the machine that aren't umounting
[06:55] <bullgard> GeekSquid: I found it: It is /usr/share/gnome/help/seahorse/C for the international version.
[06:55] <gregg> it's killing me, 'cause 9 out of 10 times I have to make a hard shutdown
[06:55] <[_miT_]> gregg: mmmm corrupted data taste good dont it? :)
[06:55] <bullgard> GeekSquid: I found it: It is /usr/share/gnome/help/seahorse/C/seahorse.xml for the international version.
[06:55] <gregg> nope
[06:55] <crazyhorsee> what does the dpkg do?
[06:55] <yaboo> is there a ubuntu net install cd I can download
[06:56] <GeekSquid> bullgard: that's good news, I am so suprised by the number of documents, and document locations, it should all be compiled into one help system that has everything ... man is great until you have info, yelp, docbook, etc, etc, etc
[06:56] <pikeshouse88> anyone here us eossec?
[06:56] <pikeshouse88> use
[06:56] <rww> ubottu: minimal | yaboo
[06:57] <losher> gregg: I agree with [_miT_]. The usual reason for unmount failure is because some process has files open on a volume. Any idea what process that might be?
[06:58] <bullgard> GeekSquid: Yes indeed. --  Thank you again for your assistance.
[06:58] <GeekSquid> bullgard: not a problem
[06:58] <gregg> losher: none at all - so far i've only opened krusader, but that's closed now - haven't accessed the folders for anything else yet
[06:59] <gregg> and i can't figure out why a umout -f isn't working :
[06:59] <dementor> hy hau can i see my usb divice i try lsusb but nothing
[06:59] <gregg> i KNOW there's something in my config that's freaky - the 'mount' command is showing me weird things
[07:00] <pikeshouse88> my real question is whether or not im a fool if i dont run snort
[07:01] <ubuntu> I just upgraded to 10.04 beta, but ubuntu is now wanting to mount USB to boot how can I change it to mount my harddrive?
[07:02] <xangua> !lucid | ubuntu
[07:02] <ubuntu> thanks xangua
[07:03] <losher> gregg: try running fuser on one of the mounted directories...
[07:04] <htns> hi all. do you think it will be possible to run ubuntu inside qemu on windows and have ubuntu be able to see SD card inserted into windows?
[07:04] <bhaLooOO> hello all
[07:04] <htpc> i was given these instructions "Extract it to the ~/.xbmc/plugins/programs directory. " and i don't know how to locate that directory. what is the ~?
[07:04] <bhaLooOO> how are you guys?
[07:04]  * Blue1 wishes the ubuntu developers would fix the "launching http cache cleaner" bug
[07:04] <losher> pikeshouse88: better to regret running it, than regret not running it, I would've thought....
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> htpc:  ~ = /home/username
[07:05] <Dr_Willis> cd ~/.xbmc/plugins/programs
[07:05] <Dr_Willis> cp poo ~/.xbmc/plugins/programs
[07:05] <Dr_Willis> = cp poo /home/username/plugins/programs
[07:05] <deostroll> hi trying to install 9.10 os from 8.10, but having difficulty upgrading to 9.04 first....
[07:06] <Blue1> deostroll: i have personally had trouble with the upgrade path.  recommend you backup /home/ and /etc/ and do a clean install
[07:06] <Jordan_U> deostroll, What problem are you having exactly?
[07:06] <htpc> thanks Dr_Willis
[07:07] <deostroll> have the iso in a pen drive...mounted it onto cdrom0 after copying the iso to harddisk... nothing happens;;;
[07:09] <pakete> hi
[07:10] <dementor> how to detect my usb device because my keyboard and mouse dont work?
[07:10] <Dagon> Good evening everyone
[07:10] <nixjr> where might i find the file i need to download on this website? http://tiyukquellmalz.org/cgit/rbpitch/
[07:10] <lazy^> dementor: ssh to box
[07:11] <dementor> yes
[07:11] <lazy^> and true there
[07:11] <puser> hello, I have confirm on file deletion checked in nautilus config and gconf-edit, but when I delete a file it doesn't ask me for a confirmation. How to enable file deletion confirmation?
[07:11] <deostroll> Jordan_u, any ideas?
[07:11] <lazy^> see what dmesg tells ya when u plug in your keyboard and mouse
[07:12] <Jamshoot> hi
[07:12] <cyberbluntz> !hi
[07:12] <Jordan_U> deostroll, What does an iso on a pen drive have to do with upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04?
[07:12] <deostroll> Blue1, have apache n stuff installed...wonder wht will happen to those...
[07:12] <Jamshoot> can somebody help me with grub(2) ?
[07:12] <Jordan_U> !anyone | Jamshoot
[07:13] <Jamshoot> =)
[07:13] <Blue1> deostroll: you'd have to re-install but move the config files over from the backup you made of /etc/
[07:13] <lazy^> Jamshoot: what is the problem?
[07:13] <dementor> lazy^ this what i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/390153/
[07:13] <DaZ> puser: edit->preferences?
[07:13] <Dagon> !Bash
[07:13] <RPG-Master> OK, should I just live my wireless router set to "mixed" signals or should I set it to "N only"?
[07:13] <deostroll> jordan_u i've copied tht iso to my hard disk, and then mounted it onto cdrom0...shouldn't this pop up a dialog box which should say upgrade...?
[07:13] <codygman> wow this is a silly question. but i just hit some sort of hotkey i guess.. and it turned gedit into a different theme
[07:13] <DaZ> or at least it was there three years ago [;
[07:14] <cyberbluntz> Is there a way to burn a Live cd with all the packages I have installed?
[07:14] <codygman> question: how do i get it back?
[07:14] <Jordan_U> deostroll, Why not just use update-manager?
[07:14] <nixjr> i want to install a rhythmbox plugin, but cant work out how to use their website, can someone else explain where to download the file?  http://tiyukquellmalz.org/cgit/rbpitch/
[07:14] <Nala> hi~ how to compare two different rootfs, and know the details? ex: packages. Thank you
[07:14] <DaZ> +j ? >:
[07:14] <Blue1> RPG-Master: I know just enjough about wireless to be dangerous
[07:14] <RPG-Master> Blue1, :P
[07:14] <RPG-Master> And your advice is?
[07:15] <lazy^> dementor: i see iptables output :)
[07:15] <Blue1> RPG-Master: let me see how I have mine set brb
[07:15] <Jamshoot> So, grub isnt works=) I tried to install winxp, and its delete ( or something else ) grub...
[07:15] <RPG-Master> Blue1: ok
[07:15] <deostroll> jordan_u, it runs 4 a long time...n then does some analysis and says...with the current internet connection speed...it will take 12 hrs to install....
[07:15] <Jamshoot> Well, i need to reinstall grub, but i dont know how
[07:15] <puser> DaZ: under edit-preferences-behaviour-recycle bin I have: ask before emptying recycle bin and deleting files cheched
[07:15] <smerdykov> hi everyone, I have a hardware issue, is this the place to ask?
[07:15] <cyberbluntz> Jam I had that problem before, what I did was just reinstall linux completely, then the grub was fixed
[07:15] <ardchoille> !grub
[07:15] <Jordan_U> deostroll, You need to use the alternate install CD to upgrade, but there is no way that downloading the alternate CD will take less time than just upgrading
[07:16] <Dagon> Has there been known audio bugs in Ubunto 9.10?
[07:16] <lazy^> Jamshoot: u need to make script which update-grup cmd uses
[07:16] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | Jamshoot
[07:16] <htpc> i booted into ubuntu and all it's showing me is the wallpaper. i can use alt + f2 to run from the terminal, which is how i'm using xchat, but i dont know what to do other than that.
[07:16] <cyberbluntz> or you can use the recovery console to remove it completely by fixmbr
[07:16] <lazy^> it's very simple
[07:16] <DaZ> puser: uncheck and check again maybe?
[07:16] <htpc> this is after enabling nvidia drivers, btw
[07:16] <deostroll> jordan_u u mean burn the iso to a cd...?
[07:16] <Blue1> RPG-Master: wireless mode AP, wireless network mode:  mixed, is that what you need?
[07:16] <cyberbluntz> but then you will have to manually delete the part
[07:16] <Jordan_U> deostroll, No.
[07:17] <Jordan_U> deostroll, Did you download the "alternate" iso or the (normal) "Desktop" iso?
[07:17] <Dagon> DaZ: When you located your drivers to install did it show you sevral onces to choose from? Perhaps you can uninstall it and try another.
[07:17] <ender> asdfasdf
 Yeah, but i dont looking for easy way =)
[07:17] <thunkee> jamshoot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows ... ist this what you ar looking for?
[07:17] <Dagon> ones rather
[07:17] <DaZ> Dagon: lolwut?
[07:17] <deostroll> jordan_u yeah I have to iso for jaunty jackalope
[07:17] <deostroll> *the
 ill try...
[07:18] <cyberbluntz> Reinstall it is easy way :)
, ok, thx
[07:18] <Blue1> cyberbluntz: it really is....
[07:18] <gregg> Hi - i'm having HUGE problems controlling my smb mounted folders - right now I can't umount anything, even with -f, and a list over my mounts is showing the mounts several times - this is getting frustrating, and probably the reason my shutdown takes so long time - output of 'mount' on my machine is here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/zBaceFeD
[07:18] <deostroll> the cd 4 9.04 aint shipping these days
[07:18] <Dagon> DaZ: Some machines Ubuntu detects the nvidia card it gives you options on which ones to install
[07:18] <puser> DaZ: Unchecked, closed preferences, opened preferences, checked, closed preferences. Samething.
[07:18] <Jordan_U> Jamshoot, You're welcome.
[07:18] <Dagon> I had two to choose from when I loaded up ubuntu on my box
[07:19] <Jordan_U> deostroll, The Desktop iso or the Alternate iso?
 mb, ill read it...
[07:19] <hawke> Hello all...is there a way to set the default permissions for automounted external USB drives, in Ubuntu 9.10?
[07:19] <deostroll> jordan_u i don't understand the diff bw the 2...alternate/desktop
[07:20] <smerdykov> I have a Sony Vaio with a faulty monitor, so I'm trying to get it to sync to an external monitor as the primary, but I need to do it outside of windows so I can reinstall my OSs
[07:20] <htpc> i booted into ubuntu and all it's showing me is the wallpaper. i can use alt + f2 to run from the terminal, which is how i'm using xchat, but i dont know what to do other than that. this happened after i enabled nvidia drivers
[07:20] <smerdykov> can anyone help me?
[07:20] <Jordan_U> deostroll, The Alternate CD can be used to upgrade Ubuntu, the Desktop CD can't. If you didn't choose the alternate explicitly then you have the Desktop CD.
[07:21] <deostroll> jordan_u i hve the desktop
[07:21] <Jordan_U> deostroll, Don't bother with trying to upgrade from an iso. Just find a faster mirror with System > Administration > Software Sources.
[07:22] <fuffalo> Anyone know how to share streaming video from the net via twonkymedia server on an ubuntu machine?  I know it's a twonky question, but I thought someone here may have done it before
[07:23] <Jordan_U> deostroll, First go to System > Administration > Software Sources. Tell me when you have done that.
[07:23] <deostroll> jordan_u yes
[07:24] <Jordan_U> deostroll, There should be a drop down menu labeled "Download from", select "other".
[07:24] <deostroll> k
[07:24] <puser> so, where else can I look to make sure it confirms on file deletion?
[07:24] <Jordan_U> deostroll, Now click on Select Best Server
[07:25] <DaZ> puser: well, i'm not sure if they've implemented it :3
[07:25] <deostroll> jordan_u a testing download server dialog popped up
[07:26] <DaZ> puser: but it shows a popup when trash file isn't writable.
[07:26] <Dagon>  Are there known bugs with Ubuntu 9.10? I'm having some issues with audio when I multi task it example: Running a media player and playing GL games, also sound just becomes static during gameplay
[07:26] <Dagon>  and actually shuts off when I run both.. Without media software playing the sound in the game becomes distorted rather badly
[07:26] <puser> DaZ: do you use gnome and do you have confirmation pop up, when you delete?
[07:26] <Dagon> known audio bugs rather
[07:26] <DaZ> puser: i don't, i've installed nautilus now and there's no popup.
[07:27] <RPG-Master> Blue1: I don't need it, I've just hear that N is better, and mixed might not use my router to its fullest
[07:27] <deostroll> jordan_u i think select best server...does the automatic selection...
[07:27] <puser> darn
[07:27] <DaZ> puser: kde has popups.
[07:27] <deostroll> jordan_u it has selected some mirror in uk...whereas I reside in india...
[07:27] <Blue1> RPG-Master: like I said -- I know enough to be dangerous!  like they say YMMV (your mileage may vary)
[07:27] <deostroll> jordan_u is this reliable?
[07:27] <Jordan_U> deostroll, Yes.
[07:28] <Blue1> RPG-Master: i had problems with my netbook.  I had to install the backports to fix it.
[07:28] <RPG-Master> Blue1: OK :P
[07:28] <Jordan_U> deostroll, The servers in / near India may be somewhat overloaded currently.
[07:28] <deostroll> jordan_u chose the server..nw wht
[07:29] <deostroll> still looking @ the sfotware sources dialog box
[07:29] <Jordan_U> deostroll, Now try upgrading via update-manager again and with the faster server it should take less time.
[07:30] <htpc> i booted into ubuntu and all it's showing me is the wallpaper. i can use alt + f2 to run from the terminal, which is how i'm using xchat, but i dont know what to do other than that. this happened after i enabled nvidia drivers
[07:30] <deostroll> jordan_u should I hit revert?
[07:30] <Jordan_U> deostroll, No
[07:30] <DaZ> htpc: ~/.xsession-errors
[07:30] <puser> DaZ: are you on KDE, Ubuntu?
[07:30] <Jordan_U> deostroll, Hit close and when it asks if you want to update the package information say yes.
[07:30] <JustaNumber> how do I tell if my ubuntu is "jaunty"?
[07:31] <alankila> JustaNumber: cat /etc/issue
[07:31] <DaZ> puser: I'm using Arch, but Ubuntu also ships KDE
[07:31] <ardchoille> JustaNumber: lsb_release -a
[07:31] <nixjr> how do i check what version of ubuntu i have?
[07:31] <pakete> can someone tried chromium os ?
[07:31] <htpc> DaZ, what?
[07:31] <deostroll> k update-manager doing its job...downloading packages
[07:31] <Dementati> If I have a user that has a secondary group, and I have given group read permission to a directory that is of that secondary group, is the user not supposed to be able to read that directory?
[07:31] <ShadeS>  how do i search with apt-get
[07:31] <ardchoille> nixjr:  lsb_release -a
[07:31] <ShadeS> or is there a different command for that?
[07:32] <alankila> ShadeS: apt-cache search foo
[07:32] <ardchoille> ShadeS: apt-cache search blah
[07:32] <DaZ> htpc: gedit ~/.xsession-errors and try to find something useful
[07:32] <nixjr> ardchoille, is it possible that my 9.04 "turned into" 9.10?
[07:32] <ardchoille> ShadeS: or to filter package names: apt-cache search -n blah
[07:32] <ardchoille> nixjr: if you upgraded, sure
[07:32] <htpc> blank file, da
[07:32] <htpc> daz
[07:32] <puser> DaZ: ok, thanx
[07:33] <nixjr> ardchoille, i dont remember hitting some "updated to 9.10" button
[07:33] <DaZ> htpc: nothing's wrong then.
[07:33] <ardchoille> nixjr: Are you sure you installed 9.04 instead of 9.10? When did you download the iso?
[07:33] <DaZ> htpc: run gnome-terminal and start nautilus and gnome-panel
[07:34] <deostroll> jordan_u download rate is only 10.4 kb/s should I rely on this again?
[07:35] <nixjr> ardchoille, it was definately 9.04, i got a pressed disc here, i find it unsettling that i managed to make a major chnage liek that without realising it
[07:35] <ardchoille> nixjr: Well, look at it this way, you're more up to date than you were :)
[07:37] <nixjr> ardchoille, the reason i ask is i just ran "sudo apt-get build-dep rhythmbox" and it says "130 newly installed", as you might of guessed im new to linux, is it normal for it to need so many dependencies?
[07:37] <htpc> DaZ, says it cannot start gnome-panel because one is already running. i moved my mouse up and it went off screen, right clicked and it was the menu for right clicking the panel. i guess it's just off screen. do you know how to fix it?
[07:37] <alankila> nixjr: probably so. rhythmbox is media application so it pulls in insane amount of junk
[07:38] <ardchoille> nixjr: yeah, what alankila said
[07:38] <Dagon> Has anyone expierenced problems with audio when they either run a media player such as rythum box or Audacious while playing an openGL game and have the audio completly shut off or just playing the game normally without a player going the sound becomming distorted and cuts out? I read fourms about it but I can not isolate the problem.
[07:38] <DaZ> htpc: sudo nvidia-xconfig and restart xorg
[07:38] <ardchoille> nixjr: That's the main reason I stopped using rythmbox
[07:38] <alankila> nixjr: actually, looking at the list, there's texlive, tons of x11 libs, even xulrunner
[07:38] <DaZ> if you didn't do it ofcourse.
[07:39] <alankila> but no media codecs. I guess they don't depend on gstreamer like that.
[07:40] <nixjr> ardchoille, i want to use to it because its the only player i can see that has a live pitch/tempo/speed adjuster
[07:40] <ardchoille> nixjr: Ah, that makes sense
[07:42] <alankila> nixjr: but you need to compile entire rhythmbox for it?
[07:42] <nixjr> alankila, thats what this guide im reading for the plugin says
[07:43] <nixjr> i tried just going to the pluing site but there isnt a download button http://tiyukquellmalz.org/cgit/rbpitch/
[07:43] <htpc> DaZ, can you give me that last message again? something about running xvidia-config and restarting xorg?
[07:43] <DaZ> htpc: nvidia-xconfig <:
[07:44] <DaZ> nixjr: git clone git://tiyukquellmalz.org/rbpitch
[07:44] <FrinD> Hey guys! My friend has installed Ubuntu 9.10 on his laptop but his wireless wont work correctly keeps disconecting his chipset is 0b:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
[07:44] <nixjr> DaZ, thats step 4 on their guide, im pretty much just blindly copy and pasting it
[07:45] <htpc> daz it gave me a message, can i pm it to you or should i pastebin it? 3 lines long
[07:45] <DaZ> htpc: pm it
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[07:46] <krangam> hey folks.
[07:46] <kthomas_vh> hola
[07:47] <FrinD> Hey guys! My friend has installed Ubuntu 9.10 on his laptop but his wireless wont work correctly keeps disconecting his chipset is 0b:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
[07:47] <krangam> i'm wondering why my desktop have so many hidden files!!
[07:47] <krangam> is it normal?
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> Frind: try disabling IPv6 too
[07:48] <nixjr> krangam, i cant tlel you if its normal or not, but i checked mine and i have none
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> Krangam: in $HOME yes, they hold the configs for you apps and desktop
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> Kangam: in $HOME/Desktop I have none too
[07:50] <FrinD> ActionParsnip: sry I did not see what you wrote
[07:50] <fosser_josh> hello hackers, can anybody tell me any network stimulator available in linux
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> Frind: try diabling IPv6 too
[07:50] <krangam> Thanks ActionParsnip and nixjr. I intended to ask in $HOME
[07:50] <brad_> I'm running a Nvidia GTX-260 with 2 24" monitors, I can't for the life of me get the monitor on the left to be the "main" monitor. I've switched the location of each monitor but all that changes is how they "connect", can anybody help me with this?>
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> Brad_: could use xorg.conf
[07:51] <fosser_josh> hello hackers, can anybody tell me any network simulator available in linux
[07:51] <FrinD> ActionParsnip: I just checked on widi docs and his BCM4306 does not seem supported
[07:51] <FrinD> so should he go with ndiswrapper?
[07:52] <nixjr> fosser_josh, not sure if this si helpful, but could you run multiple virtual machines in vmware or summin?
[07:52] <brad_> ActionParsnip: will the nvidia-settings just be editing the xorg.conf? What am I looking for in specific to change
[07:52] <krangam> what about some files that ends with a '~'. But I'm not able to see them on the GUI desktop. When I use terminal and list all files, I'm seeing these files.
[07:53] <DaZ> krangam: text editors mark backups with a ~
[07:53] <initmass> The output from my second sound card has stopped. I've verified that the audio output works when using the live CD. I think I have to reset the audio settings. How do I make that?
[07:53] <ZykoticK9> brad_, System / Admin / NVIDIA X Server Settings - X Server Display Configuration - highlight the monitor you want as default, put a check near bottom "Make this the primary display for the X screen"
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> Brad_: run: gksudo nvidia-settings ,then click write to x config file
[07:54] <krangam> DaZ: Thanks. Is there any need for such files? I mean, they occupy unnecessary space?
[07:54] <ZykoticK9> brad_, use ActionParsnip parsnips "gksudo nvidia-settings" with my directions above :)  teamwork
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> krangam:  editor 'auto backups' have saved me several times like that
[07:55] <alankila> mm, that rbpitch is based on libsoundtouch. No wonder I couldn't find any implementation of the shifter algorithm there
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> Zykotick9: hi5!
[07:55] <krangam> Dr_Willis : Thanks. I understand that I don't need to worry about such files then.
[07:56] <brad_> when I run "gksudo nvidia-settings" i get "Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0"., is that okay?
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> Frind: if the usual broadcom thingy doesn't work then use ndisgtk + winxp 32bit or 64bit driver (depending on ubuntu arch)
[07:56] <nixjr> alankila, could you dumb that down a little for me lol
[07:57] <brad_> ZykoticK9: I don't ave the option "Make this the primary display for the X Screen"
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> brad_: as long as the app runs it'll be fine
[07:58] <alankila> nixjr: just satisfying my curiosity. This pitch shifter would appear to be based on a time-domain autocorrelation strategy. Good for simple audio like singing, bad for complex music because the requisite overlaps are much harder to find.
[07:58] <brad_> Xinerama is enabled, and I have each monitor set up as "Seperate X Screen" for configuration
[07:58] <ZykoticK9> brad_, not as a checkbox at the bottom?  sorry, we must have different versions of nvidia-settings or ubuntu then, and my VMs don't use nvidia, so can't test there sorry.  good luck man.
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> Zykotick9: you'll have to run this one now dude. I have 1 monitor for 3 systems
[07:59] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, using a kvm switch?  or software based?
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> Brad_: try adding the nvidia vpau ppa and upgrading the driver
[08:00] <nixjr> alankila, i understood some of that, so i guess i shouldnt hold my breath is assuming my trance is going to sound flawless with a faster bmp?
[08:00] <alankila> to explain, this pitch shifters work by resampling the audio to a new frequency that corresponds with the desired change in pitch, and then cloning the audio data based on self-similarity so that the play length doesn't change. Or you can leave the pitch intact (no resampling) and slow down or speed up if you like.
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> Zykotick9: ssh and web based admin
[08:00] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, so really 2 headless boxes?
[08:00] <Goliath> hi
[08:00] <Goliath> how can i change the background image at gdm login?
[08:00] <brad_> ZykoticK9: I just changed it from "Seperate X Window" to "TwinView" and that option showed up, rebooting now to test
[08:00] <alankila> nixjr: it depends on parameters, the music itself, and how much change you want.
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> Goliath:  could change the file in the 'xsplash' directory  as one way. theres also tools to change it   google for 'gdm2 setup' I think is the name of one.
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> Zykotick9: sure. Fileserver and an old thing doing torrents and backups. Fileserver is new :)
[08:01] <annamaria_> #ubuntu-it
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> Goliath:  ive also seen scripts/tools that sync your main users wallpaper with the gdm wallpaper
[08:01] <annamaria_> #ubuntu-it-chat
[08:01] <Goliath> Dr_Willis: where is xsplash?
[08:01] <alankila> nixjr: but the real problem with autocorrelation is that it adds jitter. If new drum beats are supposed to occur, say, every 200 ms, the autocorrelator generally adds or removes extra sample data between the quiet periods between hits, and it doesn't usually fall out evenly on both sides of the hits -- it depends on what audio is going on at that moment -- and that makes beats slightly jittery. Whether it's noticeable is another matter.
[08:01] <nixjr> alankila, may i pm you?
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> Goliath:  use 'locate xsplash' and check out the paths
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> Zykotick9: tbh I use my phone to control mostly (and chat on here)
[08:02] <ZykoticK9> Goliath, i actually watch a YouTube video today demonstrating how to do that, can't find the link easily now though, but it's there
[08:02] <alankila> nixjr: why not.
[08:02] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, I am SO behind the time - i have no cell phone!  :)
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> Goliath:  see http:/delicious.com/dr_willis/gdm2  for some info on the tools ive tried
[08:02] <Goliath> ok
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> Zykotick9: if you get by without, why bother :)
[08:03] <ardchoille> ActionParsnip: Very good point
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> Is chromeOS based on Ubuntu?
[08:06] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  i belive it is
[08:06] <lao5> hei hei hei
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> I would have asked in ot but my irc client won't join another channel once its connected :( so thanks :)
[08:07] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, i've seen howtos involving adding repositories to chromeos inorder to install various software, so deep down there is ubuntu under-the-hood of chromeos
[08:07] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip, Yes. What IRC client are you using?
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_u: andchat
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_u: just read a guide the command is: /raw join #chan
[08:08] <ActionParsnip> Weird
[08:09] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip, Probably requires raw commands for just about everything if it doesn't have a simple /join
[08:09] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip, Might as well just use telnet :)
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> Zykotick9: interesting. I'll check it out after sleeping. Just done a 12 hour shift
[08:09] <JustaNumber> is "intrepid" after "jaunty". if so, is it a stable release?
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_u: could use connectbot to ssh to my desktop then use irssi :)
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> Justanumber: jaunty is after intrepid and both are stable
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> !intrepid
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> !jaunty
[08:10] <ZykoticK9> JustaNumber, it's alphabetical, so i comes before j
[08:11] <JustaNumber> hmmmm, so how does one upgrade? apt-get dist-upgrade didn't seem to do it?
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | justanumber
[08:11] <mbn_18> Hi, just added a new screen to my computer ( now I have 2 screens ). The problem is that I cant drag app from one LCD to the other. any idea?
[08:11] <Dr_Willis> mbn_18:  and your viudeo card is whata exactly>?
[08:11] <ZykoticK9> mbn_18, are you using nvidia?
[08:12] <mbn_18> ZykoticK9: Yes, 7600GT. All is set and the secondery screen is working with his own toolbar. I can also move the mouse over it. but not apps
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> mbn_18:  use twinview. not 'seperate x displays' in the nvdia-settings tool
[08:13] <ZykoticK9> mbn_18, that's working-as-designed if you have 2 seperate x screens
[08:13] <mbn_18> I see, checking
[08:13] <ltsampros> okay. i'm running karmic and since the last update, my kernel is throwing a panic everytime I try to get the laptop to sleep.
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: wouldn't twinview make 2 identical screens?
[08:14] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip: Only if you set it to CLONE
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: I'm just going by the name...oh I see
[08:14] <Dr_Willis> i use twinview all the time. :)  only had issues with it when i tyr to get 3 screens working
[08:14] <mostafakvd> when I type "gcc filename.cc" it says "error: stdio: No such file or directory"
[08:14] <mostafakvd> what should I do?
[08:14] <Dr_Willis> twinview is nvidias 'name' for their enhanced xinerama featureset
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> Mostafakvd: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[08:15] <Pythack> Hi.
[08:15] <ActionParsnip> Mostafakvd: make sure you use <>s round the libs you want to use
[08:16] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, do you play many games?  have a good solution to disabling one monitor automatically, or a cure for games playing in the center of both screens?
[08:16] <mostafakvd> ActionParsnip: I type that it says "build-essential is already the newest version."
[08:16] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  xrandr can disable one I think. or the nvidia-settings tool can also disable one when you use apply
[08:16] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  its games that are programed BADLY that do that.. its technically the games fault
[08:16] <mostafakvd> ActionParsnip: my code is very simple "#include<stdio>
[08:16] <mostafakvd> using namespace std;
[08:16] <mostafakvd> int main()
[08:16] <mostafakvd> {
[08:16] <mostafakvd>   cout << "good news";
[08:16] <FloodBot1> mostafakvd: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:16] <mostafakvd>   return 0;
[08:17] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, i customize my xorg to autoshutoff one monitor when a particular resolution is called "1280x1024", but am unable to reliably add more resolutions without nvidia-settings starting to "freak-out"
[08:17] <enderb> hola
[08:17] <DaZ> mostafakvd: .h
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> Mostafakvd: i'd ask in #c
[08:17] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  i rarely have issues. so havent bothered with it much
[08:18] <mostafakvd> DaZ: you mean I should add stdio.h
[08:18] <mostafakvd> ?
[08:18] <enderb> whats the question?
[08:18] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  i do recall warzone2100 having the problem. I set its res in its configs as a fix
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> Mostafakvd: if you use void main (void) you don't need return 0 at the end
[08:18] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, sorry to bother ya, thought i'd throw it out when you where mentioning twinview
[08:18] <DaZ> mostafakvd: i mean you will waste terrible amount of time before you finally give up
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> Warzon2100 is awesome
[08:18] <DaZ> but .h should help as well.
[08:18] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  yep . The programs are getting the monitor size using the wrong commands/functions and  think its a wiiiiiideeeee monitor...
[08:19] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, "most" games run fine - it's just the odd-balls with issues
[08:19] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  ages ago about every java app had the same issue.. and even virtualbox and vmware had the issue
[08:19] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  dosbox used to have the ssue
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: is dosbox still maintained?
[08:20] <DaZ> probably
[08:20] <researcher1> I have Xp & Ubuntu on separate partition with windows programs run through Wine. How can I clone it? Will XP n Ubuntu installations be cloned as they r on host machine?
[08:20] <DaZ> there's nothing better anyway [;
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> I guess
[08:20] <enderb> Question: why can't I write messages on the #C channel?
[08:20] <DaZ> enderb: you're not registered?
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> Enderb: maybe you need to be regged
[08:21] <enderb> Oh I gues not?
[08:21] <JustaNumber> the #C people are weenies
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> !register
[08:21] <enderb> So I don't have to register to write messages here?
[08:21] <ltsampros> when a panic takes plance, does the apport try send the whole dump/core? it's stuck at uplk the uploading problem information window, and i'm wondering
[08:21] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  no idea. i only use it to play a few games now and then
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> Enderb: no you are doing it now ;)
[08:21] <enderb> lol :p
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> Enderb: the channel goes registered only when trolls and spammers go crazy
[08:22] <enderb> i see
[08:22] <Goliath> Dr_Willis: i tried one but didnt work
[08:22] <enderb> hmm
[08:22] <ardchoille> ActionParsnip: May I pm you?
[08:22] <enderb> This is my IRC bot
[08:23] <enderb> I'll have to figure out how to register
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> Ardchoille: sure
[08:23] <enderb> I sent the NICK and USER messages
[08:23] <enderb> do you have to make a password in order to register?
[08:23] <enderb> nvm ill figure it out
[08:24] <enderb> hmm im tired
[08:24] <ardchoille-m> !register
[08:24] <Dagon> Dr_Willis: Have you ever experienced any audio bugs which causes the sound in games to become distorted and cut out? I'm having that problem or if I use any kind of music player the sound cuts out completly. I imagine my hardware is proper as far as drivers go
[08:24] <lorenzo> #ubuntu-it-chat
[08:24] <lorenzo> #ubuntu-it
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> Dagon:  ive rarely had any sound issues
[08:24] <Dagon> music player while playing a game that is
[08:25] <Dagon> Dr_Willis: Hmm. I can't isolate the problem. Driving me nuts lol
[08:25] <DaZ> Dagon: sound mixing in linux is extremely bad.
[08:26] <quizme> my .bashrc file is not getting read, does anybody know why?
[08:26] <researcher1> while trying to install Bazzar Explorer I got this error posted at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/390177/ . Any help please?
[08:27] <Dagon> DaZ: I'm begging to notice this. If I could atleast get the games to properly stream the audio without it cutting out that would be excellent. I can do without playing music in the background
[08:27] <dsync> Hello
[08:27] <dsync> Is there anyone here?
[08:27] <Dagon> beginning rather lol
[08:27] <kthomas_vh> no
[08:27] <dsync> in dire need on configuring pam with freeradius
[08:27] <dsync> anyone i can seek advice from?
[08:27] <kthomas_vh> !google
[08:28] <dsync> the problem is whenever I tried to ssh to localhost, it didn't connect to freeradius
[08:28] <DaZ> Dagon: are there distortions or there is no sound from one program at all?
[08:28] <dsync> i googled for half day already
[08:28] <orson> quizme: at login? have you sourced .bashrc in ~/.profile? check ownership with "ls -la ~/.bashrc"
[08:28] <ZykoticK9> researcher1,  do you have qemu-kvm installed?
[08:28] <puser> is it possible to change the default file browser in gnome from nautilus to, lets say: midnight commander. I've checked, midnight commander, algough, not as pretty, as nautilus, it confirms deletion.
[08:28] <kthomas_vh> is freeradius on port 22?
[08:28] <nixjr> when aptget says packages will be removed, does it mean there is nothing that depends ont hose packages? or is ti possible that removing them will stop something else working?
[08:28] <dsync> it's in default port
[08:28] <kthomas_vh> is it running ?
[08:28] <dsync> 1812
[08:28] <dsync> yea it is running
[08:28] <xen> :)
[08:29] <Dagon> Daz: When I run both game and music player the sound cuts out completly but when I just run the game it's distorted and cuts in and out. sounds basicly like a record needle being dragged across
[08:29] <kthomas_vh> so ssh localhost:1812,  no reply?
[08:29] <dsync> got reply
[08:29] <dsync> yet permission denied
[08:29] <kthomas_vh> OH
[08:29] <dsync> and at the radius terminal there is no log message
[08:29] <quizme> orson: this is after i log into my server.  ownership is good for .bashrc.  .profile doesn't exist
[08:29] <kthomas_vh> well,  that's not nearly as bad
[08:29] <kthomas_vh> :)
[08:29] <xen> hey any1s gt counter strike 1.6 running wid proper FPS on ubuntu
[08:29] <kthomas_vh> so either get logging on
[08:29] <dsync> i just wondering why the ssh didn't connectg to freeradius
[08:29] <orson> quizme: ~/.bashrc won't be read on login--shells
[08:29] <kthomas_vh> or find a way to make ...
[08:30] <kthomas_vh> well,  now you're confusing us
[08:30] <dsync> anyone i can chat 1 on 1 ?
[08:30] <DaZ> Dagon: i'd guess it's related to pulseaudio or another ubuntu feature
[08:30] <kthomas_vh> either the ssh connects
[08:30] <kthomas_vh> or it doesn't
[08:30] <quizme> orson: ok. thanks.  imoved it to .profile and now it works.  cheers.
[08:30] <orson> quizme: echo ". ~/.bashrc" >> ~/.profile
[08:30] <kthomas_vh> dsync, this community support :)
[08:30] <dsync> well i did modify the sshd in the pam.d folder
[08:30] <dsync> if using system-auth then can login
[08:30] <xen> cs 1.6 on ubuntu?
[08:30] <dsync> but didn't connect to freerdaius
[08:30] <orson> quizme: now it won't be read on non-lgin shells :)
[08:31] <Dagon> DaZ: Can I disable pulseaudio and enable I beleive it's klasmixer? I'm rather new so bare with me
[08:31] <DaZ> Dagon: klasmixer? >:
[08:32] <mbn_18> back, the twin views work. but with few problems. first every time I choose a workspace both display flip. maybe its related to compiz?
[08:32] <dsync> anyone managed to ssh into freeradius ?
[08:32] <Dagon> I just seen a post google -fu? whats that
[08:32] <dsync> in serious need of help here
[08:32] <kinja-sheep> Does anybody know a nice GUI as a replacement for lshw -- I'm familiar with lshw and I only need to take few screenshots so it should look nice. I don't remember the name of the package. :(
[08:32] <mbn_18> dsync: freeradiuos?
[08:32] <dsync> ya
[08:32] <Dagon> DaZ: I think it's named along those lines. It was something I typed into bash to get some volume level controls on a deeper level than what is on the GUI
[08:32] <DaZ> kinja-sheep: hardinfo? >:
[08:32] <dsync> ssh -> pam -> freeradius
[08:33] <DaZ> Dagon: alsa
[08:33] <kinja-sheep> DaZ: Checking it out right now. ;<
[08:33] <dsync> problem with ssh is it didn't authenticate with my freeradius server
[08:33] <researcher1> Any help on this please http://imagebin.org/87853 ?
[08:33] <Dagon> DaZ: lol yes I was way off
[08:33] <mbn_18> dsync: What do you mean by shh into freeradiius ?
[08:33] <mbn_18> dsync: ohh you want ssh to auth aginst freeradius
[08:33] <fantasy125> Ping
[08:33] <dsync> yea
[08:33] <DaZ> Dagon: pulseaudio is running on top of it but i don't know anything about pulseaudio in ubuntu.
[08:33] <dsync> i believe i setup everything correctly
[08:34] <dsync> yet it still didn't auth against the freradius
[08:34] <Dagon> DaZ: That's alright thank you though :)
[08:34] <DaZ> Dagon: there is over 9000 how-tos on disabling it, if it doesn't help get interested in oss4
[08:34] <dsync> googled for half day and no solution
[08:34] <kinja-sheep> DaZ: That tool is sufficient to do the job. Thanks. :)
[08:34] <mostafakvd> how to run a shell command from a c++ file ?
[08:35] <Dagon> DaZ: oss4?
[08:35] <DaZ> mostafakvd: #c
[08:35] <DaZ> Dagon: open sound system
[08:35] <kthomas_vh> !netiquitte
[08:35] <mbn_18> dsync: it seems openssh does not support radius. but maybe you can achive it using PAM.
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> Mostafakvd: last I did any coding it was system("command here");
[08:35] <Dagon> DaZ: Is that something I can collect via bash?
[08:35] <dsync> it doesn't ?
[08:36] <mbn_18> dsync: maybe there is ssh channel/ or pam channel.
[08:36] <dsync> where ?
[08:36] <mostafakvd> ActionParsnip: you mean for example system("ls /home/");
[08:36] <mostafakvd> ActionParsnip: yeah?
[08:36] <mbn_18> dsync: I didnt saw it on the feature list of openssh website
[08:36] <DaZ> Dagon: depends what do you mean by bash, there should be a package
[08:36] <dsync> any alternative then ?
[08:36] <theadmin> Say, is init/Upstart a kernel-built-in thing?
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> Mostafakvd: afaik, not sure what .h its in. Ask in #c
[08:37] <mbn_18> dsync: As I said. My guessing is that it is achivable using pam. but I am not sure. ask experts.
[08:37] <orson> theadmin: no
[08:37] <theadmin> orson: Strange :/ If you kill init, you get a kernel panic
[08:38] <mbn_18> dsync: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_PAM
[08:38] <dsync> i see
[08:38] <vivid> mostafakvd, #include <stdlib.h>    and system("shellscript"); should do it
[08:39] <AbuMaia> So when in April is 10.04 expected to be officially released?
[08:39] <Dagon> i forget the command to get it from the repository
[08:39] <theadmin> AbuMaia: Closer to the end, maybe 28th or so
[08:39] <Myrtti> AbuMaia: last thursday
[08:39] <DaZ> Dagon: then you have to either read man apt-get or use synaptic.
[08:39] <AbuMaia> thanks theadmin
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> Abumaia: yes but other questions in #ubuntu+1 if they are lucid based
[08:40] <researcher1> what should I do if I get this warning "perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:	LANGUAGE = (unset),	LC_ALL = (unset),	LANG="en_IN.ISO8859-1" ?
[08:40] <Dagon> DaZ: I heard of synaptic put have yet to try it. I've only been at this for a few days i'm very new to linux but learning
[08:41] <mostafakvd> vivid: thanks bro that's right
[08:41] <mostafakvd> :D
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> Researcher: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locale ,may help
[08:41] <researcher1> let me try n report soon
[08:41] <DaZ> Dagon: then what did you use?
[08:41] <codygman> damn.. i had that problem once researcher1.... something isn't installed
[08:41] <Dagon> the apt-get commands to aquire packages
[08:42] <Dagon> DaZ: Or the GUI for ubuntu that lets you search for software to get
[08:42] <researcher1> If I get this message " /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: locale is not installed
[08:42] <researcher1> " what do I do?
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> Researcher: try locales
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> Researcher: I had the issue but then the lucid alphas rolled so I reinstalled
[08:43] <theadmin> Dammit, Ubuntu forums are active, i can't find my thread anymore lol
[08:43] <Goliath> Dr_Willis: i cant find /usr/share/images/xsplash/
[08:43] <Goliath> or locate it
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> Researcher: there are guides online
[08:43] <lorenzo_> #ubuntu-it
[08:43] <lorenzo_> #ubuntu-it-chat
[08:44] <theadmin> lorenzo_: Uhm, you are forgetting "/join"
[08:44] <Dagon> DaZ: Do I run synaptic straight from the terminal?
[08:44] <researcher1> ActionParsnip will u b kind to visit here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/390184/ please?
[08:45] <DaZ> Dagon: it should be somewhere in the menus.
[08:45] <theadmin> Dagon:  No no no way! o_O System - Admininstration - Synaptic package manager
[08:45] <Dagon> theadmin: lol
[08:46] <densone> researcher1, looks like u have old broken kvm install
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> Researcher: just create the file and folder the system expects, this will keep it happy
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> Researcher: looks like you are removing your entire kde
[08:48] <theadmin> I wonder if KPackage is still broken? :/
[08:48] <researcher1> oh. Ok. Let me try that way

[08:52] <adante> hi guys, can someone recommend places other than irc and ubuntuforums to get help?
[08:53] <theadmin> adante: Canonical provides commercial support, but i dunno anything else
[08:53] <SamuelPeterson> I'm having some issues finding my grub menu list. It isn't located at "/boot/grub/menu.lst"... which is problematic because I need to give information on the kernel versions to get support for the problem I'm having with the latest kernel not getting past the boot screen nor working properly in recovery mode.
[08:54] <dnivra> adante, to get help on ubuntu? this is like the best place there can be. try searching for blogs. but this channel is the best. forums is really good too.
[08:54] <ZykoticK9> adante, you can try asking a question on Launchpad at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu
[08:54] <theadmin> SamuelPeterson: This file is not used by Grub2, if you're having that
[08:54] <dnivra> SamuelPeterson, grub2 right? it's grub.cfg not menu.lst.
[08:54] <SamuelPeterson> dnivra, thank you.
[08:55] <dnivra> SamuelPeterson, you can get your kernel version using "uname -a" too. no problem.
[08:55] <adante> dnivra: haven't had much luck here or forums, although i do appreciate their efforts, so just investigating other avenues
[08:55] <dnivra> SamuelPeterson, Run the command "uname -a" in your terminal. that'll give your kernel version too.
[08:55] <SamuelPeterson> dnivra: ah, I see. How would I go about getting the versions of all the kernels installed?
[08:55] <abo-> what software is used to copy Dvd video as a AVI or MPG, k9copy is crashing all the time
[08:55] <adante> theadmin, ZykoticK9: thanks, will check it out
[08:55] <theadmin> SamuelPeterson: How about... dpkg -l | grep 'linux-image'?
[08:55] <dnivra> SamuelPeterson, That command gives you only the currently used version only ok.
[08:56] <hatake_kakashi> uname -r is more closer
[08:56] <Dagon> dnivra: I did that command real quick and it says "Linux 2.6.31-20generic that the kernel I'm assuming?
[08:56] <SamuelPeterson> dnivra, thanks a million.
[08:56] <m_fulder_> I've opened port 80 (TCP & UDP) on my router to forward to my ubuntu desktop..now in this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC#Accessing your PC over the Internet    they say to open up port 22 instead .. but if I change from 80 to 22 I can't access the webpages on my desktop :S why? should I maybe not change the 80 port forwarding and just create a new 22 ???
[08:56] <dnivra> SamuelPeterson, No problem.
[08:57] <dnivra> Dagon, That is the kernel version yes.
[08:57] <xiambax> Where can i go for lucid support?
[08:57] <Dagon> dvivra: Thanks.. Sorry for the stupid questions but as I always say the only stupid question is the question that is not asked :) hehe
[08:57] <ZykoticK9> abo-, you might want to check out dvdrip (in repo), WinFF (in repo, frontend to ffmpeg) or Handbrake (not in repo, doesn't do avi or mpeg, just mp4/mkv)
[08:58] <xiambax> !lucid
[08:58] <dnivra> Dagon, true. but it's best to be safe than sorry: ask questions good or bad. that's how learning happens. but always try to think a bit before asking: sometimes the solution might be staring in your face. course it's possible to miss it too.
[08:58] <llutz> m_fulder_: you have to forward those ports, the services are running on you want to access from outside
[08:59] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[08:59] <ShapeShifter499> I tested the y2038 bug......now I can't boot into my comp
[08:59] <ShapeShifter499> help plz
[08:59] <theadmin> ShapeShifter499: Uh... What exactly do you get?
[08:59] <m_fulder_> llutz, right .. but then the port to access apache on my comp. are different from does that I want to VNC connect with?
[09:00] <m_fulder_> so I need 2 forwarding llutz ?
[09:00] <llutz> m_fulder_: sure, http=80 vnc = 5xxxx
[09:00] <m_fulder_> aha ok then I understand thanks
[09:00] <Dagon> dnivra: Indeed. I'm getting the hang of all this slowly but surly
[09:01] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: it said that I last booted into my com in dec. 1905 and it was saying that now is in the future
[09:01] <Dagon> I'm the apple in the bunch that has some holds in it, maybe some worms moving about
[09:01] <dnivra> Dagon, carry on like this and you'll get better in no time:).
[09:01] <Dagon> holes lol
[09:02] <theadmin> ShapeShifter499: Ah. "Filesystem mount failed: superblock last mount time is in future"?
[09:02] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: ya thats it
[09:02] <Dagon> dnivra: I know some of it from DOS back when I was around 13 or so I'm 29 now so I forget quite a bit
[09:03] <theadmin> ShapeShifter499: "fsck" usually fixes it, although with Y2038K dunno how it will... maybe you can also try setting the time with "date" command ("man date" for details)
[09:03] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: ok
[09:03] <CrAzE124> anyone here able to help me with a nessus prob?

[09:03] <dnivra> !ask | CrAzE124
[09:03] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: man y2038 is serrious
[09:03] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: I don't wanta die in 2038
[09:04] <Goliath> hi
[09:04] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: XD
[09:04] <Goliath> where can i get a new cursor from and use it?
[09:04] <theadmin> ShapeShifter499: MORE then enough time to fix it, i think, developers will make somethin' up
[09:04] <m_fulder_> llutz, but if my comp. is behind a router I only open up port 22 not 59xx right?
[09:04] <Goliath> i want the oxygen black cursor
[09:04] <llutz> m_fulder_: 22 = ssh
[09:04] <llutz> m_fulder_: so it makes no sense to forward it, until you use nx or vnc on different port
[09:05] <CrAzE124> I've got an error in nessus that I've been trying to fix for more than 2 weeks. I'm sure all my settings are correct but it gives me the following error: "The remote host does not seem to be a nessus server (or an SSL error occured". Now i have started nessusd, made certs, etc. What could be wrong?
[09:05] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: yay :D  fsck fixed the dating problem
[09:05] <m_fulder_> hm llutz but in the guide there is written I should open up just port 22 and not 5900 while trying to VNC connect to my comp. through internet ... am I not configuring VNC to run through SSH now?
[09:06] <Goliath> i got a cursor from gnome looks
[09:06] <Goliath> how do i use it
[09:06] <m_fulder_> later on there is written that I should install an SSH client while trying to connect to my comp so I guess VNC will be running thorugh SSH or? llutz
[09:06] <theadmin> ShapeShifter499: lol "dating"
[09:07] <jimlovell777> m_fulder_: Correct, to tunnel VNC through SSH only open port 22. I would encourage you though to change the default ssh port to something higher than 1024
[09:07] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: XD whatever
[09:07] <llutz> m_fulder_: would you please read sentence #1 in that part of the article you reffered to
[09:07] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: all my applets crashed on the first boot after the y2038 test, than 2nd boot was fail....
[09:08] <llutz> m_fulder_: they tunnel vnc inside ssh, so you don't have vnc running on 22
[09:08] <PomkaLK>  need help, i have regitered Channal,    │+mgdm
[09:08] <Goliath> ??
[09:08] <PomkaLK>                   | how can i authorizate in it for get       │+mquin
[09:08] <Goliath>  i got a cursor theme from gnome looks

[09:08] <theadmin> !patience | Goliath
[09:08] <theadmin> !ot | PomkaLK
[09:09] <m_fulder_> llutz, I don't ? hm wait SSH is running at 22 right .. and if I make VNC run thorugh SSH why won't it run thorugh port 22 ?
[09:09] <jimlovell777> Goliath: System->Preferences->AppearanceTheme tab then install bottom right
[09:09] <theadmin> ShapeShifter499: That's serious :/ Really, I wouldn't test it, a bit too early
[09:09] <Dr_Willis>  Goliath  drag/drop the file to your 'appearances' settings window. then customize the theme you got.
[09:09] <PomkaLK> I NEED HELP. HOW CAN I AUTHORIZATE ON THE CHANNAL TO GET OPERATOR PERMITIONS(CHANNAL IS MINE)?
[09:09] <m_fulder_> jimlovell777, how can I change the SSH port from 22 to something higher ?
[09:09] <theadmin> PomkaLK: Go to #freenode
[09:10] <Dr_Willis> PomkaLK:  see the freenode website also.
[09:10] <llutz> m_fulder_: read all of that article, try to understand what they do and how it works. you have vnc running locally at 5900. to access it from outside your LAN you create a ssh-tunnel on port 22, which you have to forward
[09:10] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: everything is ok....so far....   anyways this was on my secondary comp which is highly unused
[09:11] <theadmin> ShapeShifter499: Hm... 1905? Unused indeed.
[09:11] <jimlovell777> gksudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_conf and change the port number from 22 to something else. When you run an ssh command from then on use that new number (less than 65535) like ssh -p newnumber username@hostaddress
[09:11] <Goliath> Dr_Willis: didnt work
[09:11] <Goliath> i cant find it
[09:11] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: XDD
[09:11] <Dr_Willis> Goliath:  alwyas give more details then 'it dident work'
[09:11] <Goliath> Dr_Willis: i dragged it but doesnt appear at cursors
[09:12] <m_fulder_> llutz,  ok will try to understand =)
[09:12] <Dr_Willis> Goliath:  perhaps it wasent a mouse pointer theme then.
[09:12] <Goliath> Dr_Willis: i was
[09:12] <Goliath> how cani use it manually
[09:12] <llutz> m_fulder_: running ssh on ports != 22 won't increase security, it just decreases logging
[09:13] <jimlovell777> m_fulder_: Think of it like calling a friends mom but you want the friend on the phone. First you call their mom and then ask to talk with your friend. your connection uses the moms phone to get in but that's not who you wanted to talk to.... Did that help at all?
[09:14] <theadmin> ShapeShifter499: BTW i have this error VERY often because of a faulty CMOS battery... :/ It always resets time to 0 (aka 1st January 1970, midnight)

[09:14] <godplayer1> hello can someone help me with Ubuntu 9.10
[09:14] <jimlovell777> llutz: It does, defense in depth. It protects you from scripted bots. All measures of security help. I'm going to guess he wont be disabling root login or password logins.
[09:15] <DaZ> Dagon: also open terminals count
[09:15] <llutz> jimlovell777: that's "security by obscurity" which isn't seriously increasing security
[09:15] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: really? y not just replace the battery? can't you get one off the net for like 5 bucks?
[09:15] <DaZ> aw, nevermind, I'm wring [;
[09:15] <DaZ> wrong :f
[09:15] <llutz> jimlovell777: it won't prevent you  from serious attacks, just stop some script-kiddies
[09:15] <jimlovell777> llutz: I respectfully disagree but we're both allowed our opinions.
[09:15] <theadmin> ShapeShifter499: Well, gotta unscrew the whole laptop to do it :/
[09:15] <mand|s> shoppers' drugmart for battery ;-)
[09:16] <Dagon> DaZ: Ah excellent because I have two terminals open so hence the other 2 users. Thank you
[09:16] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: ah I see....I'm not much for opening my comp either
[09:16] <DaZ> i'm not wrong then :f
[09:16] <Dr_Willis> Im so old i rember when Computers used C cells for battery backups. :) or dident even have a built in clock and you had to set the time/date at each boot up
[09:16] <robinking623> I have an old laptop with intel 845gl, and I am running xubunt on it. but it crashed down randomly but the mouse worked ,no keyboard
[09:17] <mand|s> who shows one session, top says 4 users... i don't get it.
[09:17] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: anyways it wasn't soo bad the y2038 bug....it doesn't seem to cause data destruction.....so the worst I think could happen is temporary service loss of things,(hopefully) , while the date on affected comps is fixed

[09:28] <ecm> my wall paper is black it doesnt even change
[09:28] <theadmin> ShapeShifter499: Mine is one of those... And with 512 MB ram, lol
[09:28] <godplayer1> then run update manager and select the grub upgrades from the list
[09:28] <llutz> ShapeShifter499: how many x86/32bit systems do you expect running 28 yrs ahead?
[09:28] <DebiansArmy> ecm: that happens when you crash or kill the wallpaper
[09:29] <Goliath> Dr_Willis: its an icon at the tray named universal access preferences
[09:29] <godplayer1> ecm - get compiz that can help
[09:29] <ecm> i have compiz
[09:29] <ecm> it dotn work
[09:29] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: well on my comp it crashed the applets on boot...I don't know what would have happened if I left the bug running a bit more
[09:29] <Dr_Willis> Goliath:  most 'panel' applets have a remove menu item. somthing in the 'system tray' should also have its own menu item to quit.
[09:30] <godplayer1> then as Debiansarmy said you killed wallpaper
[09:30] <FireCrotch> llutz: I expect there to be 32 bit systems running until then, definitely
[09:30] <Goliath> Dr_Willis: this one hasnt any
[09:30] <Goliath> any ideas?
[09:30] <root51> where i find the themes
[09:30] <FireCrotch> They may be few and far between, but there will still be some
[09:30] <root51> grub2
[09:30] <llutz> firecrotch/ShapeShifter499: you expect the same desaster like y2k again? nightmare, we all will die!!11 (like we did in 2000)
[09:30] <DebiansArmy> ecm: logout or restart the system to load the wallpaper
[09:30] <llutz> FireCrotch: sure, a few will
[09:30] <Dr_Willis> root51:  grub2 at this time is not very themeable. thats a feature-in-progress
[09:30] <root51> any idea to configure themes in grub loader
[09:31] <ecm> already tried it , it dont work#
[09:31] <godplayer1> reinstall compiz and the compiz manager
[09:31] <ecm> i even 'tried' windows 7 which seems nice
[09:31] <ecm> but i want linux
[09:31] <DebiansArmy> ecm: well you were playing with some settig in ubuntu wallpaper don't go down for fun

[09:32] <DebiansArmy> ecm:  help with what you haven't explained this situation...
[09:33] <dnivra> Arwin, elaborate your problem: give details on what you're trying to do etc etc. you don't tell us anything, nobody can help you out.
[09:33] <jimlovell777> Dagon: I use the firestarter frontend, it works well.
[09:33] <root51> where i find the final version of codeweavers for gamerz
[09:33] <godplayer1> firestarter is that theme ??

[09:34] <oscar-halle> Hallo, alle miteinander! Ich war lange nicht hier, und bei den vielen Namen brauche ich zu lange, um einen Bekannten zu finden.
[09:34] <dnivra> !sound | Arwin
[09:34] <llutz> !de | oscar-halle
[09:35] <DebiansArmy> ecm: what were you playing with.... fyi type the first two letters of my name and press tab it should bring up my name....
[09:35] <ecm> yh ok now wat
[09:35] <duckwars> when I try to start my computer with no keyboard, mouse, and monitor it won't get through the booting up process because it gets stuck at not being able detect teh monitor (i start the computer with no monitor then plug it in to see why I can't ssh in)
[09:35] <godplayer1> Can someone help with connecting a Bluetooth headset to Ubuntu 9.10
[09:36] <DebiansArmy> ecm: Is this your first time using linux???
[09:36] <ecm> no
[09:36] <ecm> i had it since 8.04
[09:36] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: well that bug was fun.....
[09:36] <godplayer1> It is my first time using Linux
[09:36] <ShapeShifter499> theadmin: XD
[09:36] <ecm> linux is hard
[09:36] <duckwars> ^
[09:36] <Arwin> i can't select alsa :S
[09:36] <godplayer1> Linux is soft
[09:36] <DebiansArmy> Then what is the deal with the wallpaper?? your using Gnome....???
[09:36] <Dr_Willis> godplayer1:  bluetooth headsets can be a royal pain. I never did get mine working
[09:36] <ecm> debians army can we talk in private or something i need to ask u something]
[09:37] <jimlovell777> duckwars: Most computers I've dealt with halt on boot if no keyboard is present. Some BIOSes let you disable that behavior
[09:37] <DebiansArmy> ecm: yes
[09:37] <theadmin> Linux is neither hardware nor software lol it's a fracking OS
[09:37] <godplayer1> hmmm Royal is not the right word !!
[09:37] <duckwars> jimlovell777: it gets past GRUB and actually gets to a little GUI type message box, so I don't think it's bios
[09:38] <dnivra> godplayer1, checked the official documentation on it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothAudio?
[09:38] <jimlovell777> duckwars: if it gets that far you're correct.
[09:38] <godplayer1> @dnivra - yah already done that ..
[09:38] <duckwars> =/
[09:38] <Dr_Willis> godplayer1:  i recall there being some special codec that many of those headsets need and  for some reason (legal?) or somthing its  not included. and is a pain to get going right
[09:39] <godplayer1> I am able to pair it ... but once connected they switch off in a second or so
[09:39] <godplayer1> hrr
[09:39] <piszczu> hello, how i can copy files from ~ to my disk mounted as /media/disk1 with chmods? I tried cp -a | cp -p -R but it dsn't work. UBU 9.04
[09:39] <Dr_Willis> godplayer1:  yes - i could pair mine.. but i could never get sound to come out of them. I could use them for a MiC
[09:40] <llutz> piszczu: what filesystem?
[09:40] <dnivra> godplayer1, http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices is a bit more detailed. see if it helps.
[09:40] <chalcedony> is there a fix for skype not having sound in ubuntu 9.04?
[09:40] <godplayer1> @Dr.willis: same thing here .. so you havnt got yours to work either .. good ... some say 8.10 has no problems
[09:40] <Arwin> i hear no sounds, i just have installed ubuntu 9.10 on my new laptop.
[09:41] <godplayer1> thank you dnivra will read that
[09:41] <dnivra> godplayer1, don't mention it; it was there in the same ubuntu documentation site on bluetooth audio:).
[09:41] <piszczu> llutz, private chat
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> godplayer1:  with the changes to pulse audio and other subsystems. that may be the issue..
[09:41] <jimlovell777> Arwin: Silly question, does your laptop have a physical volume switch/knob?
[09:41] <pdg1> perchance a silly question. some older versions of Ubuntu run faster on older machines than a new version?
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> godplayer1:  ive not tried it in 10.04 yet
[09:41] <llutz> !pm > piszczu no thanks
[09:42] <Arwin> my volume is turned up to 100%
[09:42] <today1> i have some prolem, pz help me :)

[09:42] <BHoward> jimlovell777: not a silly question. I battled my new laptop for about an hour figuring pulse audio wasnt working and then remembered it actually has a little wheel for the volume.....
[09:43] <piszczu> i hope NTFS
[09:43] <today1> have popup : " there is no app installed for OLE2 compound document storage files "
[09:43] <today1> how to fix it
[09:43] <dnivra> richard123, perhaps you don't have the cd inserted?
[09:43] <jimlovell777> richard123: System-> Administration-> Software Sources. Is cd-rom checked?
[09:43] <piszczu> llutz: i hope NTFS
[09:43] <llutz> piszczu: you cannot use unix-permission on non-unix filesystems. see !ntfs/!ntfs-3g how to handle it
[09:43] <Hellhound666> Hi all gotta little question here...
[09:43] <llutz> !ntfs > piszczu
[09:43] <jimlovell777> BHoward: Facepalm! We've all been there ;)

[09:43] <today1> help me now
[09:43] <Hellhound666> Does ubuntu support netgear cg814wg cable modem USB
[09:44] <pdg1> reason I'm asking is because I upgraded to Karmic with Xubuntu and it's running kinda sluggy when I'm pretty sure Ubuntu 8 was running pretty good
[09:44] <Arwin> my sound isn't muted, it is at 100% but i don't hear anything :(
[09:45] <richard123> dnivra/jimlovell777: why do i need a CD in? But CDrom is checked.
[09:46] <dnivra> richard123, you need to have the cdrom inserted into the cd drive! else how will it download the package from the cd?
[09:46] <ddrj> what's a commonly used media center for ubuntu?

[09:47] <Arwin> i hear no sounds, just installed ubuntu on my new HP Pavillion dv6 laptop. on windows 7 i hear the sounds, but here on ubuntu 9.10 i don't hear anything ???
[09:47] <comfy> but usually left click on flash videos are unresponsive
[09:47] <n00b13h3r3> good day ;)
[09:47] <richard123> dnivra: but Ubuntu is already installed and running: how can an update come from the CD I used to install in the first place? (sorry if I am slow)
[09:47] <comfy> I get around it now by right clicking the flash several times
[09:47] <comfy> then the left click works again
[09:48] <comfy> just wanted to check if there's a way around this
[09:48] <n00b13h3r3> need help for ltsp server setup, requires specific user mounting designated directory
[09:48] <Hellhound666> ddrj:  pms-linux works great!
[09:48] <jimlovell777> richard123: It's not just for updates, the cd contains some packages that aren't part of the default install like ndiswrapper for instance.
[09:48] <cris> hola?
[09:48] <Hellhound666> well it's a ps3 media server but it's excellent.
[09:48] <dnivra> richard123, you see you have added the cd-rom to your repository and so when you upgrade, it automatically downloads the package lists again. even from the cd. i think it's safe to ignore that if the other package lists are installed.
[09:49] <ddrj> thanks Hellhound666 :D i'm checking pms-linux
[09:49] <dnivra> richard123, downloaded properly*
[09:49] <Arwin> i hear no sounds, just installed ubuntu on my new HP Pavillion dv6 laptop. on windows 7 i hear the sounds, but here on ubuntu 9.10 i don't hear anything ??? my sound is not muted, it is turned at 100%
[09:49] <cris> hay alguien que me pueda dar una pag de estas en español?
[09:49] <n00b13h3r3> anybody here, can please help me with configuring ltsp server
[09:49] <aperson> Arwin, have you tried switching devices in the mixer
[09:49] <Tonus> !es | cris
[09:50] <richard123> dnivra: i follow: so I can insert the CD and see what happens because it will find it automatically, or else ignore it, is that correct?
[09:50] <Arwin> aperson: i can't switch :S
[09:50] <ZykoticK9> comfy, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/clicking-in-flash-not-working
[09:50] <piszczu> llutz: mayby better change filesystem to "linuxable"?
[09:50] <comfy> hey~ thanks ZykotcK9, I'll check it out
[09:50] <llutz> piszczu: if you dn't need to use it with win-systems, yes
[09:50] <piszczu> because i wanna mount that as /home
[09:50] <aperson> Arwin, I mean, switch the output?
[09:50] <dnivra> richard123, i think it's safe to ignore: the packages you can download from cd are also available on the internet. so guess it's safe to ignore the cd-rom.
[09:51] <llutz> piszczu: in that case, you definetly should use i.e ext4/ext3
[09:51] <ShadeS> what's a handy command to tell me what filesystems there are on a disk wout out actually mounting them?
[09:51] <Arwin> aperson: first time I use ubuntu so can you tell me how ? :# :P
[09:51] <llutz> ShadeS: blkid
[09:51] <ShadeS> cfdisk is what i've bene using...
[09:51] <n00b13h3r3> shades, fdisk -l
[09:51] <richard123> dnivra: OK, thank you :-)
[09:52] <n00b13h3r3> shades, sudo fdisk -l*
[09:52] <ShadeS> blkid ftw
[09:52] <aperson> Arwin, right lick on the mixer applet and go to preferences
[09:52] <llutz> ShadeS: (c)fdisk only tells you the partition-ID, that's not the filesystem
[09:52] <jimlovell777> richard123:  Disable the CD as a repo source. System->Administration->Software sources and then in the "installable from cd-rom" box uncheck both selections.
[09:53] <godplayer1> @dnivra: had a look at the link you gave ...
[09:53] <Arwin> aperson, where can i change the output ( sorry for bad English i'm from the netherlands )
[09:54] <aperson> Arwin, go to the tab that's labeled 'Output' I don't know what word it would be localized to for you if you're not using the en locale
[09:55] <Arwin> aperson, Ok, i can chose 2 choises. 1: analog stereo and 2: HDMi
[09:55] <gatita> que alguien me mande el canal de español
[09:55] <n00b13h3r3> @llutz, do have any idea on configuring a ltsp server? if yes, can you help me please
[09:55] <llutz> n00b13h3r3: nope, but i'm sure there are tuts at forums
[09:56] <Guest55852> if you have a script that does something like : echo "Do you want to do this?"  read result   is it possible to run the script from another script and pass Y/N ?
[09:56] <gatita> por favor canal en español!!!!

[09:57] <Arwin> aperson, but i can't change there anything
[09:57] <aperson> n00b13h3r3, #ubuntu-server might be more helpful, though a bit slow
[09:57] <n00b13h3r3> @llutz, thanks - my problem is specific on how to configure specific user mounting, haven't found any from the tutorials :((

[10:15] <valentinex> ikonia: i do not have an network administrator, i have router trying to connect with that
[10:15] <ikonia> Razvan1310: you need to ask a question then
[10:15] <Razvan1310> how can i boot ubuntu 9.10 from boot.ini
[10:15] <Learner> thanx ikonia
[10:15] <ikonia> valentinex: ok, your routers configuration, it should offer/set an SSID
[10:15] <Razvan1310> how can i boot ubuntu 9.10 from boot.ini ?
[10:15] <ikonia> Razvan1310: you can't
[10:15] <ikonia> Razvan1310: the windows boot loader cannot boot linux

[10:16] <zetheroo> ok Ubuntu has started going erratic on me again ... I'll deal with one thing at a time  .... 1. When I shut down or logoff I am asked to enter my admin password because the system says there is another user logged in -There is no other user except me! What gives!?
[10:16] <Guest82801> hey. I have a problem with gparted. I opened it from live CD 9.10 and i'm trying resize NTFS partition. I save changes and gparted started resizing. But it is 30minutes and gparted dont finish... help ;)
[10:16] <jimlovell777> random__: I mean is it a hollywood movie or a home burnable disc?
[10:16] <Razvan1310> i installed ubuntu 9.10 on a logical partition how can i make boot from that partition
[10:17] <ikonia> zetheroo: do a "w" on the command line see if it appears someone is logged in
[10:17] <ikonia> Razvan1310: grub is installed to the master boot record of your disk, you use that to boot
[10:17] <llutz> Razvan1310: you need to copy the bootsector into a file on your win-partition and add it to boot.ini
[10:17] <ikonia> Guest82801: it can take a long time
[10:17] <Guest82801> okey thanks
[10:17] <Razvan1310> how do i do that? copy the bootsector into a file
[10:17] <Dagon> Is there a rather simple way to "cloak" your IP while suring the net for added security aginst crackers etc. ipchains can get pretty intense
[10:18] <random__> jimlovell777, hmmm well let me test a few things then i'll com back, lol tghanks
[10:18] <ikonia> !pm > Moat
[10:18] <zetheroo> ikonia: there are two of me logged in - HA
[10:18] <ikonia> Dagon: join #freenode and ask
[10:18] <ikonia> zetheroo: there we have it
[10:18] <Moat> ikonia, what do i need?
[10:18] <Moat> ikonia just tell me the program i need
[10:18] <llutz> Razvan1310: you installed grub into partition?
[10:18] <Moat> i just dl'd mencoda
[10:18] <ikonia> Moat: you need to search the software repositories for mencoder
[10:18] <zetheroo> ikonia: well why is that?
[10:18] <Moat> ikonia i just did that
[10:18] <Friction[laptop]> where are programs normally stored?
[10:18] <ikonia> Moat: it's called "mendcoder"
[10:18] <ikonia> Moat: mencoder
[10:18] <Razvan1310> llutz : i do not have a grub into boot loader
[10:19] <ikonia> zetheroo: can you pastebin the output of "w" please
[10:19] <llutz> Razvan1310: you need one
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> mencoder from medibuntu repos proberly has more features then any in the default ubuhjtu repos also
[10:19] <sabgenton> hey all
[10:19] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: it doesn't
[10:19] <sabgenton> what is the best way to add an address to /etc/resolve.conf
[10:19] <Moat> ikonia i installed it, now what?
[10:19] <ikonia> Moat: use it ?
[10:19] <Moat> how
[10:19] <sabgenton> should i just put echo   address >> /etc/resolve.conf  in a startup script?
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> I use mencoder i built from latest source for latest fun features. :)
[10:19] <Razvan1310> llutz:  do i found grub loader into ubuntu dvd
[10:19] <sabgenton> or is there a better way
[10:19] <conb123> Anyone aware of how I can disable a compiz effect for a certain application? Because I have the vacuum open animation on, but it uses it in python idle all the time which is very distracting.
[10:20] <ikonia> Moat: there are guides on the internet, you need to strip the audo and video files out, then re-encode
[10:20] <Moat> so how do i use mencoder? i have an .avi movie that keeps going out of sync
[10:20] <Moat> ikonia link to one of these guides?
[10:20] <ikonia> sabgenton: why would you want to do that as it won't work, resolv.conf (not resolve.conf) user nameserver $address, not just $address
[10:20] <ikonia> Moat: there are plenty on the net,
[10:20] <Dr_Willis> Moat:  the mencoder and i also rcall 'ffmpeg' faq's mention how to fix such problems
[10:20] <nixjr_> is there a way i can record (with a graph preferably) the memeory usage of a specific app over a time person of 24h?
[10:20] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: good call
[10:20] <Moat> Dr_Willis link?
[10:20] <nixjr_> period*
[10:20] <sabgenton> sorry I meant  resolv.conf
[10:20] <Dr_Willis> Moat:  do i look like google?
[10:20] <llutz> Razvan1310: i don't know but i would think so
[10:21] <ikonia> Moat: stop asking for links, there are plenty on the net
[10:21] <ikonia> sabgenton: ok, but my point still stands
[10:21] <zetheroo> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/390226/
[10:21] <sabgenton> ikonia: whats your point?
[10:21] <Razvan1310> llutz: so how can i install grub loader without alter my partitions
[10:21] <llutz> Razvan1310: reinstall grub with partition as target
[10:22] <ikonia> sabgenton: that a.) address > resolv.conf won't work as the format is "nameserver $address" b.) why don't you either set it properly, or let dhcp set it for you
[10:22] <Moat> Dr_WIllis and ikonia, what would i GOOGLE then?
[10:22] <ikonia> zetheroo: are you ssh'd into the machine ?
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> Razvan1310:  grub dosent alter the partions
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> Moat:  mencoder faq   perhaps...
[10:22] <ikonia> Moat: "mencoder re-encode" ? something like that
[10:22] <zetheroo> ikonia: I don't even know how to do that
[10:22] <Razvan1310> where can i find a cd with grub
[10:22] <outs1d3r> in every shop
[10:22] <chalcedony> is there a fix for skype not having sound in ubuntu 9.04?
[10:23] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub | Razvan1310
[10:23] <ikonia> zetheroo: there is certainly two "shells" running, one is your X environment, the other is a shell
[10:23] <Moat> Dr_WIllis and ikonia, nothing turns up
[10:23] <nixjr_> is there a way i can record (with a graph preferably) the memeory usage of a specific app over a time period of 24h?
[10:23] <abhi_nav> Hello
[10:23] <Dr_Willis> Moat:  perhaps go to the mencoder homepage and look for their Faq link then
[10:23] <Razvan1310> !grub2
[10:23] <ikonia> Moat: nonsense
[10:23] <outs1d3r> fix for skype:dont install beta :)
[10:23] <Moat> I did Dr_Willis nothing is helpful
[10:23] <Moat> ikonia it's true
[10:23] <abhi_nav> Dr_Willis: may I pm you? Want to talk about carrer
[10:24] <zetheroo> ikonia: does this have something to do maybe with mythTV? I installed it recently ... but have not done anything with it
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> Moat:  you went to the mencoder homepage and read the faq in less then 2 min? amazing
[10:24] <chalcedony> Razvan1310, http://en.kioskea.net/faq/2677-super-grub-disk-live-cd   i'm an idiot and it worked great for me
[10:24] <ikonia> Moat: no it's not, second restult on google shows you how to re-encode to fix audio sync
[10:24] <Moat> ikonia what'd you google?
[10:24] <ikonia> zetheroo: doubtful, but possible
[10:24] <zetheroo> ikonia: is someone hacking my system? I really have no idea what's causing this
[10:24] <ikonia> Moat: exactly what I told you and what Dr_Willis told you to google
[10:24] <ikonia> zetheroo: no, no-one is "hacking" you system
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> abhi_nav:  im a factory worker. i dont work in pc's at all
[10:24] <Moat> ikonia which was?
[10:24] <guntbert> ikonia: the second shell of zetheroo seems to be the gnome terminal he opened for typing w
[10:25] <ikonia> Moat: read the scroll backs
[10:25] <abhi_nav> Dr_Willis: so you are not Dr. at all?
[10:25] <ikonia> guntbert: that doesn't look right as that's on tty7 which is his destkop
[10:25] <Moat> ugh fine ikonia.
[10:25] <Dr_Willis> abhi_nav:  Ive never said i was a Medical Doctor.
[10:25] <Atomic> A doctor of love?
[10:25] <Moat> ikonia it gives me this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=937241 it's not helpful
[10:25] <abhi_nav> Dr_Willis: you are ph.d. doctor? I want to talk about that only
[10:26] <ikonia> Moat: no it doesn't
[10:26] <Atomic> Oh wait this is a linux channel nm heh.
[10:26] <Dr_Willis> as Atomic  said. I got my Degree in loveology.
[10:26] <Moat> did for me
[10:26] <ikonia> Moat: there are LOTS of links on there, check some of them
[10:26] <ShadeS> how's finding work Dr_Willis ?
[10:26] <Moat> if there are so many why can't i be shown one ikonia?
[10:26] <zetheroo> guntbert: ikonia: here is something interesting .. I did "w" in the AWN terminal applet and it only shows 1 user logged in
[10:26] <abhi_nav> - - - -
[10:27] <ikonia> Moat: because I'm not searching the net for you, mencoder is a complex tool and if you're unable to search the net for a guide, you'll struggle to use the tool
[10:27] <zetheroo> guntbert: ikonia: did it again in the gnome-terminal and it shows me 2 users ...
[10:27] <Atomic> Anyone use PDAnet for Android on Ubuntu?
[10:27] <ikonia> zetheroo: looks like gunbert is correct then, and your second user is your shell to type "w" although that doesn't look right to me
[10:27] <Moat> so you won't support me in the Official Ubuntu Support Channel...thats odd ikonia
[10:27] <Dr_Willis> theres support.. then thers handholding...
[10:27] <zetheroo> ikonia; I just hate to have to authenticate an action like shutting down or logging off
[10:28] <ikonia> Moat: I'm fully supporting you, I've given you the tools and suggested the search terms needed to find the guides you want, you need to use those tools to match your needs
[10:28] <phreck> whats the best way to setup SSH on a server?
[10:28] <ikonia> phreck: install the package openssh-server, it's that simple
[10:28] <phreck> i figured as much
[10:28] <hatake_kakashi> !ssh | phreck
[10:28] <zetheroo>  Dr_Willis: pleeeeeze, would you hold my hand ... :P
[10:28] <phreck> sigh
[10:28] <Moat> ikonia if you fully supported me i'd have the links by now, suggestins=//=support
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  no you sick little code monkey!
[10:28] <zetheroo> haha
[10:28] <ikonia> Moat: that is support, look on the mendcoder home page if you don't like the links
[10:28]  * Dr_Willis dosent reward lazyness also.
[10:28] <Moat> ugh
[10:28] <bouma> hello, how can i share files so that a windows computer can see them on my lan ??
[10:29] <Atomic> Moat You're being a pain. He gave you more help than you needed.
[10:29] <random__> boubbin, what windows vers?
[10:29] <ikonia> bouma: are you aware of samba ?
[10:29] <Dr_Willis> bouma:  you 'should' be able to right cliock on a directory and use the share option..
[10:29] <ikonia> !samba > bouma
[10:29] <random__> bouma, what windows version
[10:29] <bouma> ikonia: ok, but can i do it with the gui?
[10:29] <overmind> !samba | bouma
[10:29] <ikonia> bouma: check the link ubottu just sent
[10:30] <overmind> ah, ikonia: didn't read
[10:30] <bouma> ikonia: thanks
[10:30] <qwertyjustin> hey guys. i dont want to update eclipse. too many mb's of data. is it safe to remove on 9.10?
[10:31] <ikonia> qwertyjustin: yup, if you don't want it
[10:32] <alankila> df
[10:32] <Atomic> Anyone use PDAnet for Android on Ubuntu?
[10:32] <abhi_nav> no
[10:32] <alankila> oh, the classic "wrong window active" trick
[10:32] <ikonia> Atomic: why ? what do you actually want ?
[10:32] <Atomic> ikonia Tether my Android phone to Ubuntu
[10:33] <ikonia> Atomic: interesting
[10:33] <bouma> ikonia: so i have to edit smb.conf ? i cant just right click on a folder or use a gui??
[10:33] <ikonia> bouma: you can use the "share" option in the gui
[10:33] <bouma> ikonia: can i just mount a one off share, without editing fstab ?
[10:33] <Atomic> ikonia Yeah, it would work with bluetooth but I have the G1 and it doesn't have Android 2.0.
[10:33] <ikonia> bouma: sure, fstab is used for mounting shares on your "linux" client, I thought you wanted windows to mount it ?
[10:34] <jimlovell777> Atomic: Let me guess the two never pair? Ubuntu doesn't seem to like an ad-hoc network with PDANet, I've tried on an iPhone. It can be done with some work though.
[10:34] <zetheroo> ikonia: I found another command on an Ubuntu forum that supposedly shows the logged in users ... top -b -n 1|tail -n +8|awk '{print $2}'|sort|uniq
[10:34] <SamuelPeterson> I'm currently having boot issues. It wont do anything past the splash screen except give me a blank screen and I somehow managed to make recovery mode for the latest kernel work... When I run the kernel in debug mode, I end up with a command line interface with (initramfs) where USER@Host should be.
[10:34] <ikonia> zetheroo: I won't use top to show users
[10:34] <zetheroo> ikonia; one of the listed is mythtv and I am in the mythtv group ...
[10:34] <bouma> ikonia: right, but the links you gave me, didnt clearly distinguish between sharing to other windows clients from a linux box and accessing a windows share from a linux box
[10:35] <bouma> ikonia: so i thought i might have to add the windows share to fstab so that it would be perm mounted
[10:35] <ikonia> bouma: so do you want to access a linux share from a windows machine, or access a linux share from a windows machine ?
[10:35] <bouma> ikonia: where is this share gui? i cant see it
[10:35] <Dolk> my video which is an .avi i play on my TV off a CD is COMPLETELY out of sync, I have downloaded and installed mencoder, I use ubuntu 9.10 what do i need to do to fix the constant out-of-sync issue?
[10:35] <Atomic> jimlovell777: Not positive. I hadn't tried it because PDAnet works automatically with Vista. There is no software that I could find for Ubuntu to do it.
[10:35] <random__> bouma, you dont need samba
[10:36] <bouma> ikonia: i want to share a dir without any credentials from my linux box so that a windows machine can see it on the lan
[10:36] <bouma> random__: ok so what should i do then?
[10:36] <jimlovell777> Atomic: You don't need software per se but you do need to tweak network settings on the Ubuntu machine for it to work.
[10:36] <random__> bouma, you want to take stuff form nix and put it to win?
[10:36] <bouma> random__: i want to make a dir on this linux box avail to a windows machine
[10:37] <random__> bouma,  what windows do you have on the machine?
[10:37] <bouma> random__: xp
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> bouma:  Right click on the directory, try the 'share' menu item yet?
[10:37] <ikonia> bouma: ok - I've not got a gnome desktop infront of me to guide correctly, but there should be either a right click option on a directory to "share" or in the places drop down menu at th etop of your machine there should be a share option
[10:37] <bouma> random__: pls dont suggest ftp or something. it would be nice to just have it accessible from xp as a windows share
[10:37] <random__> bouma, as far as i got was addind or taken files of a linux directory, i dont think win can pickup on the linux machine least mine dont.
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> In theory you can just RIGHT CLICK on a directory and 'share' it with a few clicks.. and windows should see it
[10:38] <ikonia> random__: windows and linux can share files just fine
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> It might need to install a few packages.
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> but it seems this advice is getting overlooked. :)
[10:38] <bouma> Dr_Willis: thanks, i didnt see it cause its not avail for a drive in the "computer" view only for a proper dir path view in nautilus. thanks
[10:39] <random__> ikonia, yea i do it, but idk making a share for linux , i made a share on win for linux tho.
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> bouma:  corredt. you share a directory your USER has proper access to. not a 'system' dir or drive
[10:39] <Atomic> jimlovell777: So it's possible then? Cool. I'll see if I can dig up more.
[10:39] <Guest53873> no drives automount
[10:39] <Guest53873> why
[10:39] <ikonia> Dolk: you where told what to do when you where here as moat
[10:39] <ikonia> Dolk: the advice has not chanced since then
[10:39] <Dolk> ikonia what are you saying?
[10:39] <bouma> Dr_Willis: thanks, the rightclick thing was exactly what i needed, i just didnt see it cause i tried to share the drive from the "computer" nautilus view.
[10:39] <jimlovell777> Yes it is possible, it's even possible with PDANet but that's probably more than you want to get into.
[10:39] <Dolk> who is moat?
[10:40] <jimlovell777> Atomic: *with=without
[10:40] <ikonia> Dolk: you are moat - you where just here using that nick name, if you want to play games, do it elsewhere
[10:40] <Dolk> ikonia i literally have no idea what you are reffering to
[10:40] <Atomic> jimlovell777: Yeah there are plenty of "root" guides and that's a possiblility but really not something I wanted to do.
[10:44] <bouma> Dr_Willis: ok but the xp box is saying it doesnt have permissions, even when i select the guest option under the ubuntu share options
[10:44] <Dr_Willis> bouma:  use 'sudo smbpasswd -a YOURUSERNAME' and give them a samba password. i always do that anways
[10:46] <usuario_> cristina
[10:46] <usuario_> ola
[10:46] <bouma> Dr_Willis: it could have something to do with the fact that im sharing an ntfs partition and under linux its mounted so that the everyone permission bit is clear, i cant chmod it .. do i need to remount it with options so that everyone can access it.. the share options gui warns that these perms are required and offers to set them, but i dont think they're being sucessfully set according to a ls-la
[10:47] <abhi_nav> ola
[10:47] <abhi_nav> what is cristina
[10:47] <Dr_Willis> bouma:  its possible you need ti mount the ntfs  with some other options.
[10:47] <guntbert> !es | usuario_
[10:47] <Dr_Willis> bouma:  i did that ages ago.. but cant rember if i had to do anything special
[10:48] <Guest53873> removable drives wont automount and when i mount them manually they are not writable
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> bouma:  you could always edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and make a share out of it.
[10:49] <theadmin> Phew. Was something wrong with the channel? Couldn't join for a while
[10:49] <ivanatwork> I need to add a user only authorized to use Firefox to browse. Suggestions?
[10:49] <bouma> Dr_Willis, not sure .. this gui would be great if it worked. ive used smbpasswd after useradd, with the same user name as the xp account but xp still gives a permission error, does the password have to be the same as the xp passwd ??
[10:50] <merqurio> #ubuntu-es
[10:50] <theadmin> merqurio: Don't forget "/join"
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> bouma:  the issue is you are not shareing a directory YOU actually own.
[10:50] <Dr_Willis> bouma:  i always set my xp user and linux users name the same and passwords the same. and the samba passowrd the same.
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> bouma:  try making a direcry in your home, and share it - see if it works
[10:51] <dsync> anyone expert in authenticate ssh user via freeradius?
[10:52] <dsync> anyone expert in authenticate ssh user via freeradius?
[10:52] <meero> can someone help me with password protecting samba share?
[10:53] <ivanatwork> I need to add a user for someone learning Ubuntu. Suggestions?
[10:53] <ikonia> ivanatwork: just add a user then
[10:53] <Dr_Willis> ivanatwork:  suggestion for what?
[10:54] <ivanatwork> Dr_Willis: I need to make a user only authorized to use, say, only Firefox at the moment
[10:54] <ikonia> ivanatwork: it doesn't work like that
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> ivanatwork:  why does it matter?
[10:55] <ikonia> ivanatwork: just create a user and make sure your permissions are fine
[10:55] <Dr_Willis> ivanatwork:  hide all his icons I guess. and put a BIG firefox icon on the desktop
[10:55] <ivanatwork> Dr_Willis: good. Since he is very curious ... you know ;)
[10:55] <ikonia> ivanatwork: curious is how you learn
[10:55] <snow_usa> ;)
[10:56] <Dr_Willis> worse he can do is delete his own files
[10:56] <ivanatwork> lol ikonia I'm curious too but not in the "classroom" ;)
[10:56] <Dr_Willis> gnome has some lock down options also
[10:56] <snow_usa> seems to me that ubuntu has a lot of fan
[10:57] <guntbert> snow_usa: this is the main support channel for ubuntu - do you have a support question?
[10:57] <ivanatwork> Dr_Willis: I need to give him the permission to use only few apps, at the moment. Do I have to make a group for him?
[10:57] <bouma> Dr_Willis: so ive tried editing smb.conf, changing the [cdrom] eg, to [gap] w/ guest only =ok, locking=no , read only = yes, ..and a comment, but xp still wont access it, do i needto restart samba after editing smb.conf ??
[10:58] <theadmin> ivanatwork: Uh, normal permission set should do fine, he won't be able to administer, thus won't ruin anything
[10:58] <abhi_nav> snow_usa: yes
[10:58] <dsync> anyone pro in ssh and freeradius
[10:59] <ivanatwork> theadmin: normal permission set?
[10:59] <abhi_nav> snow_usa: #ubuntu-offtopic for offtopic discussions
[10:59] <theadmin> ivanatwork: The default one when you create a user
[10:59] <dsync> ssh didn't seem to connect to freeradius server
[10:59] <ivanatwork> theadmin: ah, ok
[10:59] <dsync> any workaround ?
[11:00] <theadmin> ivanatwork: He can launch any apps that do not require admin priveleges (say, Firefox, GIMP, etc) and won't be able to launch those that do (GPartED, apt-get, Synaptic, etc)
[11:00] <ikonia> dsync: you need to look at pam if you want to authenticate against raius

[11:01] <bouma> ive added   usershare owner only = false, but should i remove that ?
[11:02] <ikonia> ivanatwork: then you need to edit his desktop environment to remove what you don't need

[11:03] <vinux_> Is this the right place to post a questions related to ubuntu?
[11:03] <bouma> Dr_Willis: xp comes up with a user/pw box, so what do i put in when its a guest linux share,?? i would think it wouldnt matter?

[11:03] <The\Duke> how does one get access to create folders \ move files aso, with the gui-interface, and not being su in a cmd terminal ?

[11:04] <ikar> hi! How do i disable auto-login in ubuntu 9.10?
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> bouma:  i always enable the linux users HOME shares in  the smb.conf file - i rarely use the usershare feature
[11:05] <theadmin> ikar: Look in system - admininstration - login window
[11:05] <guntbert> theadmin: please don't recommend regular use of gksudo nautilus to The\Duke
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> ikar:  theres gdm2 config tools out that let you do it. i think the one in the menus also has that feature

[11:06] <bouma> Dr_Willis: cause i want to share something under /media
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> bouma:  that might work. i just keep my stuff in my Home. :)
[11:06] <The\Duke> theadmin even :)
[11:06] <guntbert> theadmin: even then - we should give good advice if possible :_)
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> bouma:  you may be able to make a special /media samba share also. but you have to watch out for the permissions
[11:06] <snow_usa> I don't want to use KDE in ubuntu; I want to change the Xclient to something very lightweight ? could you give some advice ?
[11:06] <theadmin> guntbert: I use that sometimes
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> snow_usa:  thers dozens of window managers you can use.
[11:07] <theadmin> snow_usa: XFCE, Fluxbox, Enlightment, LXDE might interest you
[11:07] <snow_usa> Fluxbox is good
[11:07] <snow_usa> theadmin, how to change from KDE to fluxbox ?
[11:08] <guntbert> theadmin: well I don't - but of course your situation is different :-) - just tell everyone to be *very* cautios when running nautilus with root permissions
[11:08] <ikar> theadmin: the thing you said worked! tnx
[11:08] <rabbit1> how to upgrade pidgin?
[11:08] <vinux_> if this is not the place for posting the USB related questions please direct me to the right place
[11:09] <snow_usa> Is there a liveCD for Ubuntu ?
[11:09] <theadmin> snow_usa: Let's see... Well, first install the fluxbox... I think the package is called "fluxbox" or something similar, try searching for it in your package manager
[11:09] <theadmin> snow_usa: Yes, there is.
[11:09] <Dr_Willis> snow_usa:  the normal instgaller cd is a live cd
[11:09] <theadmin> snow_usa: Then, to remove KDE, run "sudo tasksel" and unselect "Kubuntu Desktop" in the list
[11:10] <bouma> Dr_Willis: i found an smb.conf option called, map to guest = bad user, should this be changed to fix the access fails ?

[11:40] <knums> ecm, i can't imagine that this doesn't work. try 'which fdisk' on shell
[11:41] <ecm> knums: its dev:sdb which im trying to dlete
[11:41] <J-new-to-u> i dont understand why i can get it to work within a vm and it cannot cannect through linux native
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> ecm:  you would do somthing like 'sudo fdisk /dev/sdb', then hit 'd'  and enter a partion #, do that a few times to delete all paritons then 'w' to write chnges to disk basically
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> ecm:  unless thers some deeper issues going on..
[11:41] <znejk> If im gonna install ubuntu on a AMD turion 64 should i use the regular desktop install or the 64 bit alternative?
[11:41] <knums> ecm, tho whole harddrive?
[11:41] <p0a> Hello when I boot my comp my monitor goes into power saving mode. same with diff monitor. what would the problem be? anyone?
[11:41] <knums> ecm, so you have to enter 'fdisk /dev/sdb'
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> ecm:  windows CAN delete linux partions  ive done it befor. (never in win 7 however)
[11:41] <ecm> knums: yes the whole of linux'
[11:42] <ecm> dr_willis: the problem is win 7 cant delete linux but win xp can
[11:42] <knums> ecm, ehm, i mean 'sudo fdisk /dev/sdb'
[11:42] <overmind> p0a: What graphic card have you got?
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> ecm:  i find that hard to belive.. ask in #windows perhaps
[11:42] <knums> guntbert, i'll don't do that :-)
[11:42] <guntbert> knums: :)
[11:42] <ecm> dr_willis: its true
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> ecm:  i find it very hard to belive.
[11:43] <ecm> #windows
[11:43] <p0a> overmind, ATI,
[11:43] <xro> hatake_kakashi, i have the path in /boot/grub/menu.lst ---> http://dpaste.com/168975/
[11:43] <J-new-to-u> im trying to connect to a symantec 460
[11:43] <ecm> dr_willis: u can google it , windows 7 cant delete linux partition it just doesnt recognise it
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> ecm:  you coudl always just zero the linux drive. that will blank it to be unallocated
[11:43] <p0a> overmind, it worked fine with it, the problem occured randomly ( i didnt mess with anything hardware/software-wise)
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> ecm:  file a bug at MS's bug tracker then
[11:43] <znejk> If im gonna install ubuntu on a AMD turion 64 should i use the regular desktop install or the 64 bit alternative?
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> ecm:  :)
[11:44] <overmind> p0a: Did you insttalled any update releasted with xorg or with ati?
[11:44] <hatake_kakashi> xro, yeah that's valid enough
[11:44] <overmind> releated
[11:44] <ecm> ok how do i go into the windows chat room
[11:44] <ecm> i will ask those guys
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> ecm:  /join #windows
[11:44] <J-new-to-u> i used the symantec client in vm and ti works but none of the linux vpn protocols will connect
[11:44] <mortal_> is it possible to have an eq setting in pulseaudio?
[11:44] <p0a> overmind, no, but the problem is not at OS boot, but at comp boot
[11:44] <guntbert> Dr_Willis: I guess it will be ##windows for ecm
[11:44] <xro> hatake_kakashi, but it always boot with the old kernel! should i delete line about the old one in menu.lst?
[11:44] <p0a> so I think it wouldn't be affected by that
[11:45] <hatake_kakashi> xro, no just comment it
[11:45] <xro> hatake_kakashi, can you explain why it still use the old one?
[11:45] <Kangarooo> what package to install to have rar and zip opening?
[11:45] <royk> what is it that automounts filesystems in ubuntu?
[11:45] <royk> it won
[11:46] <royk> won't mout my autofs filesystem
[11:46] <ecm> guntbert: no u dont understand my linux is messed up im gona reinstall a fresh copy on my othre harddrive
[11:46] <royk> my nilfs filesystem that is
[11:46] <knums> someone here who has experience with samba and vfs-module expand_msdfs ?
[11:46] <Dr_Willis> royk:  the fstab is read at boot time and 'mounts' filesystems.    Then gnome has its own tools to mount fileysstmes 'on the fly' when inserted
[11:46] <hatake_kakashi> xro, probably the default menu, its all explained in grub howto.. I'm sure if you managed to compile kernel, you should be at least able to see what grub is capable of doing
[11:46] <cce_> well I put my question on the forums cause it's kinda complicated http://5z8.info/dogporn_psr
[11:46] <royk> Dr_Willis, I'm thinking of the gnome tools. I don't want to hardcode this in fstab
[11:47] <guntbert> ecm:  I wanted to tell you that the support channel is probably ##windows (not #windows)
[11:47] <royk> being an usb stick
[11:47] <ecm> no wonder.
[11:47] <rabbit1> I always get this error : "The audio device is busy, is another application using it?" any help
[11:47] <guntbert> !here | cce_
[11:47] <xro> hatake_kakashi, yep i did it many times.. but never with ubuntu... and seems to be harder... so i'll reboot bye and thanls for help
[11:48] <J-new-to-u> any ideas on what i can do to get it working
[11:48] <ecm> guntbert: no 1's talking on the windows room
[11:48] <pidpawel_m> wtf?
[11:48] <pidpawel_m> freenode sucks ;/
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> pidpawel_m:  whatever..
[11:48] <guntbert> ecm: try it: /join ##windows
[11:49] <knums> guntbert, he is on ##windows
[11:49] <guntbert> pidpawel_m: you are free to leave
[11:49] <pidpawel_m> guntbert, i will ;)
[11:49] <aef> is there an iso which supports both 32 and 64 bit ubuntu?
[11:49] <guntbert> knums: I see...
[11:49] <ecm> i am on ##windows but  no 1 else is talking on it
[11:49] <rabbit1> Help me out in killing this error "The audio device is busy, is another application using it?" any help

[12:03] <skyraven> hello guys, I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 and audacious together with it..sadly..audacious won't play any mp3 files, mp3 http streams...
[12:03] <skyraven> totem does already after installing the gstreamer plugins..but I'd really like to get audacious2 to work..
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> piojunbabia:  did you try doing what it said?
[12:03] <skyraven> any idea what I might be missing ?
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> skyraven:  theres mp3 support libs not isntalled by default
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> !mp3
[12:03] <Ronald> Winamp not Running
[12:04] <Daughain> Ronald: Thats good.
[12:04] <red> How can I check which my logitech side buttons are called so I can bind stuff to them?
[12:04] <Ronald> whoops sorry, guess i hit some keys...
[12:04] <skyraven> Dr_Willis, I know :) but I've installed quite a bunch so far without any luck..even restricted packages..I guess something still eludes me
[12:04] <red> for example nautilus back & forward in gconf are "8" and "9" but no button on my mouse is those I guess
[12:05] <vinux_> My wireless mouse is getting detected but does not work...can anyone help please ?
[12:05] <piojunbabia> Dr_Willis: i tried login into my yahoo email inbox and i also used chat in my inbox but still i cannot login to my yahoo messenger using pidgin... i did not change or modify anything...
[12:06] <Dr_Willis> red:  ive been using these (not gpl but free) tools at hidpoint.com  to get some extra features out of my Logitec Mice/keyboards in linux
[12:06] <janisozaur> which version of nvidia driver should i use with 8600gt gpu? they currently have 190.53 (12.16.09), 195.30 beta (12.23.09) and 173.14.25 (02.11.10, marked as recommended) available. does the 173 version include vdpau improvements introduced in the 19x versions?
[12:06] <Dr_Willis> piojunbabia:  its possible yahoo did somthing to break pidgin again
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> janisozaur:  I Dont think the repo versins have the vdpau improvements.. its too new a feature
[12:07] <janisozaur> Dr_Willis: i'm talikng about the ones available directly from nvidia
[12:07] <piojunbabia> Dr_Willis: do you experience the same problem too? the solution might be installing again pidgin? or installing an improved version of pidgin?
[12:08] <red> Dr_Willis: ty ill check it out
[12:09] <skyraven> Dr_Willis, any idea what else I could install beside the ubuntu-restricted-extras..in order to get audacious to have mp3 support ? (the gstreamer part for totem already worked..but I'm an audacious fan still)
[12:09] <J-new-to-u> redirected again lol
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> piojunbabia:  yahoo and ms like to break their 'stuff' on purpose to goof up the 3rd party IM clients..  I dont use any of them any more
[12:09] <J-new-to-u> helo again everyone
[12:10] <Stargaze> !vpn
[12:10] <piojunbabia> Dr_Willis: what do you use now?
[12:10] <Dr_Willis> skyraven:  no idea i cant recall thelast time i used that tool. perhaps the forums will tell exactly
[12:10] <kamanashisroy> what is the best socks client library out there
[12:10] <Dr_Willis> piojunbabia:  i use IRC.
[12:10] <red> Dr_Willis: dang it doesn't yet work in lucid :)
[12:10] <oriol> hi
[12:10] <oriol> i use kubuntu, when i try to eliminate large amount of files the trash its get full very soon, it's possible to eliminate a file without sending it to trash ?
[12:10] <|Sereal|> I'm trying to install intel drivers for my core i3 on 9.10 When i try to configure it tells me x11 package is missing - which is not the case.
[12:10] <red> oriol: shift+delete
[12:11] <Hellhound666> did anybody check out that link I posted earlier?  That is some amazing stuff.
[12:11] <piojunbabia> Dr_Willis: IRC to login yahoo messenger?
[12:11] <pvandewyngaerde> how can i place the close and minimize buttons in the top bar of a  window on the right side in lucid ???  ( or both locations left and right )
[12:11] <piojunbabia> Dr_Willis: how is that so?
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> piojunbabia:  i DONT use yahoo or MSN or any IM stuff these days
[12:11] <Hellhound666> That's going to be my next project.  I've got most everything I need for it.
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> I just use IRC
[12:11] <J-new-to-u> thanks for the link...
[12:11] <piojunbabia> Dr_Willis: I see, thanks...
[12:11] <red> you can use bitlbee for msn messenger and facebook chat with irssi :)
[12:11] <red> so it feels like you are in IRC
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> theres also that web site (or 2) that can do the differnt IM protocalls
[12:12] <Hellhound666> took some very talented people to write that one up.
[12:12] <piojunbabia> like meebo or webmessenger.yahoo.com
[12:12] <red> what I like in incorporating those into irssi is that I can just ssh into irssi from anywhere, or using my phone and be on msn
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> I think Meebo is the one i was thinking of. :)
[12:12] <jo-erlend> pvandewyngaerde, gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string ":minimize,maximize,close"
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> red:  but who really wants to be on msn. :)
[12:13] <red> jo-erlend: no
[12:13] <tony43> can someone tell me how to hide a link i only want a few people seeing on my site?
[12:13] <jo-erlend> red, yes.
[12:13] <red>  gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
[12:13] <red> this is the correct one
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> jo-erlend:  that is going to be SUCH a FAQ when the next release comes out.
[12:13] <web5|org|ua> how to mount with 777 permission ? cmd-line example please.
[12:13] <red> or else you are missing the menu button on the right side of the toolbar :)
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string
[12:13] <Dr_Willis>  .                          | "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
[12:13] <jo-erlend> red, ah, in order to get the menu back as well. I forgot about that one... Thanks. :)
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> oops.. messed up
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> adding that as an alias :)
[12:14] <knums> web5|org|ua, try mount -o umask=000 /dev/sda /media
[12:14] <red> jo-erlend: I don't like the new max min close order but still keep it since the theme looks buttugly when the button backgroudns are in wrong order =)
[12:14] <red> so just gotta get used to that, but atleast they are on the right hand side now
[12:14] <Stargaze> the new button layout is 'très' Mac
[12:14] <jo-erlend> I refuse to get used to that...
[12:14] <web5|org|ua> knums: thanks
[12:14] <red> i dont hit minimize from there that often, mainly just close and always maximize with doubleclick
[12:14] <|tomiondrums|> hi,
[12:14] <|tomiondrums|> i'm trying to create a new virtual machine (KVM) using virt-manager (libvirt-0.7.0-3ubuntu1, karmic on x64) and i'm getting a strange error:

[12:15] <|Sereal|> No package 'x11' found
[12:15] <|tomiondrums|> what can i do?
[12:16] <jo-erlend> |tomiondrums|, you should join #ubuntu-virt, #kvm or #libvirt on oftc.
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> Hows this alias :)
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> *** Fix the silly bttons to be on the RIGHT side use the command --->  gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string  "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
[12:17] <|tomiondrums|> jo-erlend: in #ubuntu-virt nobody cared
[12:17] <|tomiondrums|> jo-erlend: so i can only try #libvirt
[12:17] <|Sereal|> I'm trying to configure intel video drivers but keep getting keep getting "No package 'x11' found". I'm quit sure that x11 is installed and running fine.
[12:17] <jo-erlend> |tomiondrums|, you're saying that because nobody responded, right? That doesn't mean they don't care. That means they don't know, or aren't there.
[12:19] <Hellhound666> Hi I'm still facing an issue I was dealing with earlier, regarding the netgear cg814wg cable modem
[12:19] <Hellhound666> It's showing up during lsusb but is there any software out there to interface with it?
[12:20] <spiekey> Hello!
[12:21] <spiekey> how can i tell my network manager to not touch my network inerfaces?
[12:22]  * grobda24 says hi
[12:22] <Hellhound666> spiekey:  what do you mean?  not use them?
[12:22] <Hellhound666> not use a specific adapter?
[12:23] <grobda24> I'm in Karmic. What is the correct way to upgrade to Xorg server 1.7. It is not in the packages .. only in Lucid packages.
[12:24] <IdleOne> use duct tape and draw a line down the middle of the room, tell each one of them to stay on their own side :)
[12:24] <IdleOne> they won't be able to touch each other that way
[12:25] <royk> grobda24,  do-release-upgrade -d :)
[12:25] <grobda24> royk, to Lucid ? I was looking for the setting to change. Is it in system -> admin - update manager ?
[12:26] <Dr_Willis> Lucid is still a work in pogress...
[12:26] <Dr_Willis> but it is working decently well for me on my Netbook
[12:26] <royk> grobda24, just do that on the command line as root. it's an alpha, though
[12:26] <royk> works for me (tm)
[12:26] <Gangrel> can someone help me with my mounted hdd? cause it suddenly loses the write access and becomes only read
[12:26] <Dr_Willis> silly buttons on the left side.. *gag* :)
[12:27] <|Sereal|> I'm trying to install intel drivers for my core i3 on 9.10 When i try to configure it tells me x11 package is missing - which is not the case?
[12:27] <royk> ganadist, probably something badly wrong
[12:27] <grobda24> royk, ah ok. I think the command line for that is in the help wiki. Thanks :)
[12:27] <royk> Gangrel, even
[12:27] <Gangrel> royk, ?
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  check dmesg command for errors. its likely theres some error with the drive so its becoming read only. I would backup data. then fsck it..  and perhaps.. not trust it very much
[12:27] <royk> Gangrel, check dmesg, kernel logs
[12:28] <Dayofswords> also consider a new hdd afterwards if issues continue
[12:28] <Gangrel> it gives my invalid cluster chain
[12:28] <Gangrel> me*
[12:29] <Gangrel> Filesystem error (dev sdb1)
[12:29] <Stargaze> no response in #ubuntu-server, so => can somebody please do nmap gbachot.homelinux.com?
[12:29] <pinio> gdansk.ircnet.pl
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  time to backup and fsck i think
[12:30] <grobda24> royk, duh, not getting this :( Is it "sudo apt-get -t=Lucid upgrade" (that didn't work BTW lol)
[12:30] <Gangrel> Dr_Willis ok give me the command for the fsck please
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> the command is 'fsck /dev/XXXXX'
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> with a sudo of course
[12:31] <jo-erlend> Dr_Willis, moving the titlebar buttons to the left side of the screen is not silly. It's user hostile.
[12:31] <Gangrel> thanks a lot bro
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> jo-erlend:  Host File? :)
[12:31]  * Dr_Willis reads again
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> jo-erlend:  yep. andit will break a lot of other themes..
[12:32] <jo-erlend> Dr_Willis, the new default themes also makes awesomebar in Firefox almost useless. Can't read what it sais.
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> jo-erlend:  i also tend to tweak the spaceing of the buttons so theres a bigger gap btween the close and min/max buttons  for us old timers makeing it easier
[12:32] <Gangrel> Dr_Willis i am thinking about formating the drive from fat to ext4 but can you help me automount it after that?
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> jo-erlend:  with enough complaints they can changeit back :)
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  you can 'mount' it via editing the fstab with a proper command.
[12:33]  * grobda24 got it "update-manager -d" :P
[12:33]  * Dr_Willis thinks people use the term 'auto mount' way too much :)
[12:33] <jo-erlend> Dr_Willis, I'm not sure... They seem really stubborn about making the fancy changes now. I don't think users mean much anymore.
[12:33] <Gangrel> Dr_Willis, yeah but i got trouble with finding the right command that gives read and write to all users (sorry but with somethings i am really amateur)
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  for ext2/4/3  theres no 'command' You use the normal linux permisions/ownership same as would use in your / partitiopn
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  ie. chown/chmod the dirs/parittions how you need them
[12:35] <jo-erlend> Gangrel, you don't normally want to give read and write to _all_ users. You might want to give it to users in a group, and then add users to that group.
[12:35]  * grobda24 nouveau driver is in Lucid by default. well done Ubuntu people ;)
[12:35] <jm_> ?

[12:36] <reanimation> network installation of ubuntu
[12:36] <jo-erlend> reanimation, have you looked at http://help.ubuntu.com/ in the server guide? I think it's explained there.
[12:37] <reanimation> okay thanks
[12:38] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: pxe could use a good factoid :) if you are interrested in writting a nice howto
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  icve never used it.. and all my factoids suggestions seem to get ignored. :) I just make my own alias;s
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> like the one for 'FIXTHEME' i just made
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> *** Fix the silly bttons to be on the RIGHT side use the command --->  gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string  "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> :)
[12:39] <FloodBot3> Dr_Willis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:39] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: needs a little style cleaning but yeah that will work great for when +1 is released
[12:40] <reanimation> tell me about pxe server setup & tools required for it
[12:40] <zetheroo> why does mythtv load as a user? and why doe it make it's own home directory?
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> change teh word silly to be 'Why did they do this...' :)
[12:40] <jo-erlend> if they don't revert that change, I think I'm going to try Fedora or something for a while.

[12:40] <vishal> hey guys
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  why not? :)  it has its own special settings and stuff.
[12:41] <Stargaze> to fix to buttons, type alt-f2 gconf-editor, then Applications > metacity  > general > button layout > menu:minimize,maximize,close
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  mythtv is a rather complex setup.
[12:41] <vishal> i am having a lot of issues with pulseaudio ... i am on ubuntu 9.10 (karmic)
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> Stargaze:  i  hate describing how to find things in the menus :)
[12:41] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: why not? Well I installed it as an application and not as another user ...
[12:41] <vishal> system freezes, hangs, auto is garbled ...etc etc
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  apache and other complex services also have their own user.
[12:41] <vishal> any one has any pointers for help?
[12:42] <llutz> zetheroo: mythtc is a service, not only a single app. so it needs a user to run as
[12:42] <reanimation> idleOne thanks dude
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  of course it is very handy to be able to login as mythtv and not have your other users themes/setings goof up the  display
[12:42] <munsking> does anyone know how to use mysql in a bash script? :)
[12:42] <IdleOne> reanimation: sure thing, hope that helps
[12:43] <hiexpo> hipo not seeing my ipod
[12:43] <vishal>  i am having a lot of issues with pulseaudio ... i am on ubuntu 9.10 (karmic).....system freezes, hangs, auto is garbled ...etc etc..........any one has any pointers for help?
[12:43] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: I see .. I wish things like this were made clearer to the person installing the service/application ... maybe options to enable/disable certain functions that can wreck havoc on a well-running system
[12:43] <yehia> any body here having idea about Fluxbox?
[12:44] <waltercool> yehia, is something like bread?
[12:44] <waltercool> =P
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  theres a reson theres a 'mythbuntu' disrto :)
[12:44] <reanimation> guys i am having a problem with shutdown, i am on ubuntu 9.10 , my system is not shutting down properly
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> yehia:  huh?
[12:45] <yehia> waltercool, i need to fix my theme and i dont know how to do it - i went to join Fluxbox channel but no body answer even one of my Questions
[12:45] <munsking> im trying to make a mysql database for all my music, like a music library, and i want to access that from a shell script. does anyone have some experience with that?
[12:45] <waltercool> yehia, fluxbox colours?
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> yehia:  check the example fluxbox themes. and trouble shoot I guess. I never make my own
[12:46] <waltercool> colors?
[12:46] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: I just don't appreciate installing an application/service which messes up my well-running system ... not saying it's your fault ... just saying :P
[12:46] <vishal> @munsking - why dont u get a media management app
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  Mythtv is proberly the single most complex 'setup/tool' ive ever seen on linux.
[12:46] <vishal> @munsking - its something called jimbola... i dont recall the exact name
[12:46] <waltercool> yehia, http://old.fluxbox.org/docs/en/newdoc.themes.php
[12:46] <unop> yehia, sure, what's the question?
[12:46] <munsking> because we're learning scripting at work/school and i just want to try this as a kind of project :)
[12:46] <yehia> waltercool, i am having trouble with my theme- i cant here the sound of my theme and i cant change the wallpaper -
[12:46] <reanimation> http://www.opensourcex.tk (for linux fans)
[12:47] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: is it up to the mythTV team to take care of informing the user of possible consequential changes and alterations to the users current setup? Or is it the Ubuntu team' responsibility?
[12:47] <llutz> munsking: "man mysql"   mysql -e "statement here"
[12:47] <vishal> @munsking - http://en.jinzora.com/
[12:47] <dzordz> how can i in xubuntu open keyring manager to disable asking for paswword for wifi?
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  Never noticed.. i read the mythtv docs/guides befor i even tried to install it.
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  ask in #mythbuntu perhaps
[12:48] <waltercool> yehia, can you hear music?
[12:48] <axz> Anyone here uses WebCamStudio?
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  and when i did 'try it' i started with Mythbuntu and then installed ubuntu :)
[12:48] <reanimation> how to incrase audio output in ubuntu
[12:48] <yehia> unop , my question is i have installed NASA theme but there are some trouble shooting i dont know how to fix it .
[12:48] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: and Stargaze your left to right buttons fixes have been submitted to ubottu. Thank you :)
[12:48] <reanimation> why volume is very less in linux os
[12:48] <yehia> waltercool , yes i here any thing as normal
[12:48] <reanimation> help me guys
[12:48] <yehia> but i cant here the SFX of my theme waltercool .
[12:48] <munsking> vishal: i know there are tools for this, but i want to do it myself :P tnx though
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> reanimation:  ive noticed it depends on the sound card/drivers -  vlc also seems to be able to be louder for me then mplayer
[12:49] <dzordz> how can i in xubuntu open keyring manager to disable asking for paswword for wifi?
[12:49] <|Sereal|> I'm trying to install intel drivers for my core i3 on 9.10 When i try to configure it tells me x11 package is missing - which is not the case?
[12:49] <pomka> Здорова всем
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  lets hope its not needed :)
[12:49] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: I am asking there too ;) ... I would just like to know about this kind of thing in general as I deem this a pretty important issue with some software out there in the open source domain ... the need for proper and full (as possible) disclosure on the workings of the program
[12:49] <waltercool> reanimation, try using audio icon on the panel... with sound preferences you can set it over 100%
[12:49] <munsking> llutz: i tried -e, but somehow i always get the help thingie
[12:49] <pascalFR> !wol
[12:49] <mezzoforte> pomka: Здоров!
[12:49] <vishal> @munsking - since its open source, u can use the code as reference and llearn ... or maybe create somethin better than that
[12:49] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: well if it is needed the fix is not difficult in either case (GUI or CLI)
[12:49] <reanimation> but same sound card work more better on other os like windows
[12:50] <yehia> unop, i have nasa theme on my Fluxbox. i need to here the sound of the theme and aslo to change the wallpaper - also i cant load my dock although i installed it
[12:50] <waltercool> yehia, this theme was downloaded?
[12:50] <yehia> waltercool, yes
[12:50] <llutz> zetheroo: for all that stuff, the installing admin is responsible. he has to check if packages are working ok
[12:50] <munsking> vishal: ah oke, im going to try it then :)
[12:50] <reanimation> which one is best kde or gnome ??
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> reanimation:  GeOS
[12:51] <dzordz> how can i in xubuntu open keyring manager to disable asking for paswword for wifi?
[12:51] <waltercool> yehia, well... maybe is a theme problem...
[12:51] <lun4tic> hi, does anyone know how to hide the "rescue" entrys in grub?
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> lun4tic:  in grub2 i think theres a setting in /etc/default/grub
[12:51] <zetheroo> llutz: so your talking about the end-user
[12:51] <reanimation> Dr_Willis: i am talking about desktop environment
[12:51] <llutz> zetheroo: sure
[12:51] <yehia> ok waltercool, can you show me any other theme with any sound you know about it - so i can install it to check it
[12:52] <waltercool> yehia, you can try using other sound files
[12:52] <lun4tic> Dr_Willis: thx :D
[12:52] <llutz> zetheroo: software is distributed "as is", no one takes care about personal issues
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> reanimation:  GeOS is an old desktop envuroment..
[12:52] <lun4tic> bye @all :D
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> reanimation:  use them both.. see what you like
[12:52] <llutz> munsking: your syntax seems to be wrong then
[12:52] <reanimation> Dr_Willis: well i like gnome
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> reanimation:  then use gnome.. of course in a year or so - gno,me will undergo radical changes
[12:52] <reanimation> is there any other desktop environments
[12:52] <dzordz> how can i in xubuntu open keyring manager to disable asking for paswword for wifi?
[12:52] <waltercool> yehia, http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/themes.php ?
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> reanimation:  kde/gnome/lxde/xfce are the 4 main ones
[12:53] <steffan> !desktop | reanimation
[12:53] <zetheroo> llutz: so there is no regard for how messed up your system might become for installing something from the official Ubuntu repos
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> Desktop enviroment = window manager + file manager and perhaps a launcher tool or 2  - in my book. :) easy to roll your own
[12:54] <llutz> zetheroo: if that happens write a bug report and hope it will be fixed.
[12:54] <reanimation> can anyone tell me ??? k stands for what in kde
[12:54] <CyberaX2195> !KDE
[12:54] <llutz> reanimation: KDE
[12:54] <steffan> reanimation: K desktop environment
[12:55] <reanimation> kde k-??  d- desktop & e- environment
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> Running GNU/linux type gag. :)
[12:55] <talkhouli> Hello guys, audio suddenly stops working on my ubuntu, but it returns normal when i reboot. I don't want to reboot everytime this happens. How do I fix this problem? Or how do i restart the sound server?
[12:55] <steffan> reanimation: it is simply 'K'
[12:55] <reanimation> but k stands for what ?
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> reanimation:  K stands for KDE perhaps? :)
[12:55] <llutz> reanimation: recursice acronym
[12:55] <steffan> !audio | talkhouli
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> reanimation:  see 'GNU' also for similer joke.
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> reanimation:  and 'WINE'

[12:56] <Dr_Willis> natediddy:  you tar and gzip a rom file.. ? or is there somthing else to it?
[12:56] <reanimation> can u tell me about nagios
[12:56] <natediddy> Dr_Willis: im not entirely sure honestly
[12:56] <steffan> !nagios | reanimation
[12:57] <reanimation> its a network monitoring tool
[12:57] <reanimation> but i have some questions abt that
[12:57] <reanimation> can some one help
[12:57] <bumpair> hi
[12:57] <axz> Anyone here uses WebCamStudio? Because i need to know how to capture flash animation/movie using it
[12:57] <dzordz> how can i in xubuntu open keyring manager to disable asking for paswword for wifi?
[12:58] <guntbert> reanimation: this is a support channel for ubuntu - for general questions or for such about special software please use the appropriate channels
[12:58] <reanimation> guntbert: and who r u ??
[12:58] <steffan> reanimation: #nagios is a more appropriate channel for discussing that software
[12:59] <guntbert> reanimation: just another user - please keep to the topic
[12:59] <reanimation> #nagios
[12:59] <steffan> reanimation: '/join #nagios'
[12:59] <natediddy> I would LOVE to learn how to create a rom.tgz file....I was told linux would help me understand that process...
[13:00] <zetheroo> how does the NetworkManager Applet become locked?
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> natediddy:  unless its somthing special.. tgz is just a 'tar gzipped file' the archive manager can do that fior you
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> natediddy:  no idea where you get the 'rom' part of the file from.
[13:00] <zetheroo> this is the 2nd issue that I started having in Ubuntu ... boot up and I am asked for my admin password to connect to the network ... aka to start Network Manager
[13:00] <dzordz> how can i in xubuntu open keyring manager to disable asking for paswword for wifi? i tryd installing gnome-keyring-manager but that package doesnt exist
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> natediddy:  whats it even supposed to be for?
[13:01] <Hellhound666> huh
[13:01] <Hellhound666> oh sorry
[13:01] <natediddy> Dr_Willis: its for a certain format of ROMs for the Motorola Droid
[13:01] <natediddy> but maybe it has more to do with Android
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> natediddy:  then get the rom file.. and make an archive containing it i guess
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> natediddy:  its just yet another archive type. Like zip and rar and whatever.. its a gzipped tar archive
[13:02] <natediddy> Dr_Willis: i have seen .gz files in ubuntu....
[13:02] <natediddy> but do u create that with the terminal?
[13:02] <steffan> !tar.gz | natediddy
[13:02] <llutz> natediddy: tar czf file.tgc /what/to/archive
[13:02] <llutz> tgz
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> natediddy:  .gz is short for gzipped i belive
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> natediddy:  tgz = TarGZipped
[13:03] <natediddy> ok guys i apprecite it
[13:03] <natediddy> *appreciate
[13:03] <Pika-Poplexie> :o
[13:04] <zetheroo> boot up and I am asked for my admin password to connect to the network ... aka to start Network Manager
[13:04] <steffan> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression has explanations for creating a .gz, .tar.gz and numerous others
[13:05] <IdleOne> zetheroo: so enter the password
[13:05] <MmikeDOMA> How does one upgrade ubuntu (from 9.04 -> 9.10) on several computers without redownloading .debs from the net? I have 4 computers at home and I'd like to upgrade them all, but update-manager (graphical) doesn't care if I put the downloaded .debs to /var/cache/apt/archives directory
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> the gnome keyring manager can be set to have a empty password and thus not ask for any
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> MmikeDOMA:  i set up 1 pc to be a 'apt cacheing server' that way allupdates are only downloaded once
[13:06] <Jaycee> MmikeDOMA:  i set up 1 pc to be a 'apt cacheing server' that way allupdates are only downloaded once
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> hmm
[13:06] <IdleOne> was a bot
[13:06] <IdleOne> not is not

[13:08] <zetheroo> IdleOne: every time I boot up it wants it ... and it has not been doing this since i install Karmic months ago ... just started suddenly ... so obviously something is messed up
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo: if its the keyring tool. you can remove the password
[13:09] <IdleOne> zetheroo: did you install Ubuntu One recently?
[13:09] <zetheroo> IdleOne: no ... it's always been installed ... in Karmic it's installed by default
[13:09] <MmikeDOMA> Dr_Willis, that is much overhead :( And, then all the other PCs are dependent on the cachiing server... I tought upgrade-manager is using apt to retreive packages (that is why I tried to put them in /var/cache/apt/archives)...
[13:10] <IdleOne> zetheroo: not sure. Dr_Willis suggested that you can disable that in the keyring, look into it I guess
[13:10] <tobago> which tool to use for bpm counting music?

[13:11] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: Passwords and Encryption Keys?
[13:11] <EBC99> Helloooooooooooooo
[13:11] <EBC99> Are there someoe?
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  yep. The trick is there a RIGHT CLICK menu over one of the items in the list that has a 'change password' menu. and people never notice it

[13:12] <EBC99> Emm....Im spaish...
[13:12] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: I opened it and there is only one entry ... Passwords: login
[13:12] <airtonix> !troll > EBC99
[13:12] <freinhard> there is a big ~100G win partition, a ~100GB spare partition and two other smaller ones and no extended partition table
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  right click on it? see a menu? se a change password  item?
[13:13] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: I go into the properties and there is nothing there to change
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> you maybe on the wrong thing.
[13:13] <freinhard> so i can only format one 100GB partition and i cant create a swap partition
[13:13] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: ok ... I see it ... but what am I changing here?

[13:14] <lazy^> Evening, i'm running CUPSD on my home-server. When i'm trying to print from my desktop debian, printing app prompts Authentication screen. I've allowed printing from LAN's ip-addresses. Where i can disable this authentication screen ?
[13:14] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: can i delete it?
[13:14] <alankila> this aptitude doesn't impress me. I'm trying to duplicate the debfoster functionality on it, to mark some packages as manually installed & mark everything else as automatically installed, but I can't really even browse the package lists to find ubuntu-desktop on the list because it's so impossibly slow to respond
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  enter old pass.. use BLANK for new.. its deleted
[13:15] <sOny_iTu> ggggg
[13:15] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: I mean I never set a keyring password
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  its very likely you did.. and dident relize it
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  you just entered your users password out of habbit
[13:15] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: when it asked I chose "Use unsafe storage"
[13:16] <alankila> top shows aptitude churning cpu at 100 % so it's clearly doing something -- probably linearly scanning package lists or something. *sigh*
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  yes.. its correct. its not as secure. but thats what you wanted
[13:16] <EBC99> o.o
[13:16] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: yes, and that is always what I pick :)
[13:17] <Nubstah> Hello :) After the Ubuntu updatemanager ran and installed some updates, I can't startup my computer normally. All I get is a black screen. I then shutdown the computer and start it up again, and i get the a list where I can choose diffrent versions. The newest ubuntu, linux 2.6.32-20 is the one who gives me a black screen. If I start up in ubuntu, linux 2.6.32-19 then it start up normal. Anyone got a possible solution or reason f
[13:17] <Nubstah> or this problem?
[13:17] <EBC99> o.o
[13:17] <airtonix> !troll > EBC99
[13:17] <alankila> and no, it didn't really even work. After marking package like ubuntu-minimal as manually installed, it still went and erased a ton of stuff.
[13:18] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: I would much rather be asked to enter in an extra password then to leave the keyring unsecured. that's me though :)
[13:18] <alankila> including crucial system packages. It even removed itself. Fail.
[13:18] <airtonix> EBC99, if you have an english based ubuntu question, then get on with it.
[13:19] <IdleOne> airtonix: please be nice. there is a language barrier going on here with EBC99 we gave them the !es info. consider they may be new to irc and not fully understand how to use it
[13:19] <EBC99> What do you want to say with see me a private message??

[13:20] <EBC99> I knoww
[13:20] <EBC99> I'm just here because nobody talk me in the spanish channel
[13:20] <IdleOne> EBC99: ok then please ask a question about ubuntu. this is not a "chat channel"
[13:21] <EBC99> Then
[13:21] <EBC99> What is this??

[13:22] <IdleOne> Now you do :)
[13:22] <airtonix> ...
[13:22] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: deleting the key worked ... I just had to re-enter the WEP key in for the wireless network and re-setup the unsafe storage thing ... now its working again .. :) thanks

If I start up in ubuntu, linux 2.6.32-19 then it start up normal. Anyone got a possible solution or reason f
[13:24] <Nubstah> or this problem?
[13:24] <jurgster> jrib have done but it dont seem to help with autostart files
[13:24] <zetheroo> IdleOne: ha ... of which there is only one ... me :)
[13:24] <jrib> jurgster: can you answer my question?

[13:25] <zetheroo> another issue: I have a data partition on this machine and am asked for my admin password every time I want to mount it
[13:25] <zetheroo> any ideas?

[13:25] <sayaga> hola
[13:25] <jurgster> i am trying to get my removable drive to autostart a menu program, as i have it doing in windows with pstart.
[13:25] <Gangrel> Dr_Willis, UUID=131f8acc-f4ae-4358-abf2-9f8223454607 /media/backup ext3 defaults 0 0 is this gonna give any errors? cause i used this on fstab to mount my drive and it works fine for the moment
[13:26] <sayaga> gibst jemand aus asien hier?
[13:26] <jrib> jurgster: so you want something to happen when you plug in the drive, right?  *Not* on login?
[13:26] <IdleOne> !english | sayaga
[13:26] <jrib> !who | jurgster
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  if it works it works.. I think the last 2 #'s are some how used when the disks gets auto fscked.  if you set them right. the system can fsck  2 differnt hard drives at the same time..,  but other then that.  looks tood
[13:27] <sayaga> hi all
[13:27] <AlienDK> Hi
[13:27] <EBC99> Oh...thanks,about I understand it
[13:27] <sayaga> 9warm greeting from indo
[13:27] <sayaga> just wanna know
[13:27] <sayaga> which the best
[13:27] <sayaga> slax
[13:28] <Stargaze> jurgster, please check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[13:28] <sayaga> or debian
[13:28] <Gangrel> Dr_Willis, the last 2 #'s ?
[13:28] <IdleOne> !best | sayaga
[13:28] <jurgster> jrib that is right
[13:28] <sayaga> just for wi-fi hack
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  yea the 0 0  - sime times you see 0 1 or somthing. I cant recall  much more then that it affexts fscking and somthign else.
[13:28] <jrib> jurgster: so that document has nothing to do with what you want to accomplish.  You should read "writing udev rules"
[13:28] <IdleOne> sayaga: in that case windows
[13:28] <EBC99> I think what happened was I could not remember the name of the channel, so could not enter.
[13:29] <Gangrel> Dr_Willis, should i keep it 0 0 , or set it at 0 2 ?
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  may as well leave it - i doubt if it matters mch
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  somthing to look into some day
[13:29] <jrib> jurgster: pysdm is a graphical program that has some support for managing udev rules as well, but it's not necessary
[13:29] <jurgster> jrib well when i read the document it seemed to give me the idea that is what i was looking for but gave me no layout answers
[13:30] <jrib> jurgster: it's not.  autostart just starts things when you login
[13:30] <Gangrel> Dr_Willis, thanks man you helped me change my backup drive from fat to a good file system :)
[13:30] <suro> ciao a tutti
[13:30] <jurgster> jrib have you got a link?
[13:30] <IdleOne> hello suro
[13:30] <jrib> jurgster: just put "writing udev rules" in google, should be first hit
[13:31] <EBC99> Im bored =(
[13:31] <Gangrel> btw is it normal to loose aroud 48Gb for ext3 fs?
[13:31] <IdleOne> EBC99: /join #ubuntu-offtopic lots of fun people there
[13:31] <rsk> Gangrel what do you mean?
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  5% is reserved by default.. thats chanangeable
[13:31] <EBC99> IdleOne:Are you a robot or a relly person??
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  tune2fs command can change it to some other %
[13:32] <the_real_dave> Gangrel: you can change the reserved amount to get more space back.
[13:32] <IdleOne> EBC99: I ask myself the same question all the time
[13:32] <OerHeks> formatting could take 7%
[13:32] <EBC99> o.o
[13:32] <Gangrel> Dr_willis, well i think it doesn't matter that much
[13:32] <EBC99> Do you wanna say you are a robot?
[13:32] <jurgster> jrib thanks i look it up now
[13:32] <the_real_dave> Gangrel: If it's your root drive though, you should leave it, to give the system space to write if it gets locked up
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  not when your driv4es are 40% full.. when they get 90% then its time to worry
[13:32] <IdleOne> EBC99: I am a real person.
[13:32] <llutz> Gangrel: by default will be 5% for root reservered, stupid today
[13:32] <EBC99> Ohhh...O.K
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  i set mine tobe 1%
[13:33] <EBC99> You are so clever
[13:33] <EBC99> You like a lot the informatic no??
[13:33] <Gangrel> can you help me do it? it is my backup drive so it is fine to mess with it a bit
[13:33] <llutz> Gangrel: man tune2fs (-m)
[13:34] <neotrix> hi all
[13:34] <Oli``> llutz (and everybody talking about EXT reservations) is that only on the main system partition or all partitions? I have quite a few I use just for storing large files (and thus don't really need reserves for root).
[13:34] <the_real_dave> Gangrel: use sudo fdisk -l to find the drive number
[13:34] <IdleOne> EBC99: si quieres charlar por favor entra in #ubuntu-offtopic por Ingles o #ubuntu-es
[13:34] <the_real_dave> Gangrel: then sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/whatever to change to 1% reserved
[13:34] <Gangrel> the_real_dave done
[13:34] <EBC99> Okay
[13:34] <neotrix> i have problem
[13:34] <IdleOne> thank you
[13:34] <llutz> Oli``: it's mkfs.ext3-default for all filesystems
[13:34] <EBC99> Idleone:Do you speak spanish?
[13:35] <IdleOne> EBC99: si guay pero no mames.
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  that does NOT take affect till teh fs is remounted. (or just reboot)
[13:35] <EBC99> guay??
[13:35] <llutz> Oli``: mkfs cannot know how you will use the filesystem being created. so use mkfs.ext3 -m0   in future
[13:35] <Gangrel> thanks a lot ppl :)
[13:35] <Oli``> llutz: So 5% of my 4.5TB array is reserved overhead. Awesome! Is tune2fs dangerous?
[13:35] <the_real_dave> Gangrel: no prob mate :)
[13:35] <neotrix> i like to open port 6667 for user to connecte in ircd in to my computer
[13:36] <llutz> Oli``: shouldn't be
[13:36] <Oli``> llutz: okidoke - thanks for your help
[13:36] <the_real_dave> Oli``: if that array is your system drive, you should leave it be, to give the system space to write if it locks up. Otherwise, no
[13:36] <IdleOne> neotrix: you need to open the port on your router and forward to your servers ip
[13:36] <neotrix> yes
[13:37] <llutz> Oli``: 1% on system-fs should be more than fine today
[13:37] <piojunbabia> good night people... dizzy....
[13:37] <Oli``> the_real_dave: I really meant is there any concievable chance that using it will somehow break up the RAID5 array, toss my data into Mount Doom, and make me cry like a little girl
[13:37] <IdleOne> neotrix: portforwarding.com can help you with that
[13:37] <lungan> Having som trouble with a file, my light sensor. I have to turn the file ls_switch to value 0 every time i reboot the computer, is there anyway to get this file to the value 0 automatic?
[13:37] <neotrix> thanks
[13:37] <IdleOne> neotrix: no problem
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> lungan:  could put a command in /etc/rc.local
[13:38] <the_real_dave> Oli``: I can't remember if it works on arrays to be honest. I think you'd have to change each drive then rebuild the array. Are you using mdadm or a hardware raid?
[13:38] <neotrix> but IdleOne  port is open in roter and in ubuntu  i cant to connecte
[13:38] <Oli``> the_real_dave: mdadm
[13:39] <Oli``> the_real_dave: but this reservation sounds like it's inside the allocated EXT partition
[13:39] <IdleOne> neotrix: then you did something wrong maybe
[13:39] <alankila> the_real_dave: use tune2fs on the md, not on the individual components.
[13:39] <lungan> Dr_Willis, What command? The files name is "ls_switch" and only contains one number, every time i reboot it contains "1" but I want it to have "0"
[13:39] <alex88_> hi guys, this is my point, i've a pc with 10.04 installed, it was working fine, then i've installed windows on other partition, reinstalled grub with bootcd's grub-install, now when i try to boot into ubuntu after it says /dev/sda1 clean bla bla bla and the boot stops
[13:39] <alankila> As a proof:
[13:39] <alankila> $ sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/md0
[13:39] <alankila> Setting reserved blocks percentage to 1% (24438 blocks)
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> lungan:  you could do somthing like 'echo "0" > /path/to/that/file'
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> lungan:  how are you changeeing it now?
[13:40] <IdleOne> neotrix: please ask your questions in the channel so that others can help and also benefit from the answers
[13:40] <the_real_dave> Oli``: I don't think it will damage it. I cant remember it damaging mine.
[13:40] <llutz> Oli``: if you want less than 1% use "tune2fs -r  <blocks>"
[13:40] <lungan> Dr_Willis, I open the file with gedit via root, and then change the value, it keeps saying that I can't change the value to that but when I click "save anyway" it works
[13:41] <IdleOne> neotrix: and NO I will not config your router. YOU are the admin and should never let anybody else have access to your router :)
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> lungan:  thats a nasty way
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> lungan:  the shell is our friend. :)
[13:42] <IdleOne> neotrix: if you are planning on running a ircd you will need to learn how to do these things yourself. it is not as hard as you may think, just takes some time and effort to learn :)
[13:42] <lungan> Dr_Willis, Yep but I'm pretty noob on that, I will read about shell later, but for the moment should I just add 'echo "0" > /path/to/that/file' in the(what was the file again?) file
[13:42] <knums> lungan, that is what linux make different to windows ... linux has a shell
[13:42] <neotrix> okey i test
[13:42] <IdleOne> good
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> lungan:  /etc/rc.local (no single quotes around the command either)
[13:43] <lungan> knums, But I don't even know  what a shell is =)
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> lungan:  but i dont know the path.. be sure to use teh right one
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> !shell | lungan
[13:43] <llutz> knums: windows has a (limited) shell too
[13:43] <lungan> Dr_Willis, Okay will try that now
[13:43] <EBC99> Bye
[13:44] <knums> llutz, the cmd in windows is no shell ... its horrable,
[13:44] <alankila> knums: try powershell, then.
[13:44] <llutz> knums: FUD

[13:47] <alex88_> IdleOne: oh, tnx.. =) btw, no responseon that
[13:47] <alankila> knums: how about vbs? I don't really know that much about microsoft technologies, but I imagine Microsoft does have some kind of scripting language equivalents these days.

[13:52] <dj_segfault> I am trying to diagnose some of the problems with sound, Ubuntu, Firefox, Flash.  I tried running Firefox in debug mode, and see hundreds of "ALSA lib pcm_pulse.c:724:(pulse_prepare) PulseAudio: Unable to create stream: Too large".  I tried googling and didn't find any relevant bugs in the ubuntu bug database.  Would it be best to report this as an Ubuntu problem, PA, or FF.
[13:53] <snow_usa> hmm
[13:53] <snow_usa> strange
[13:53] <Zeonisis> Soo... can has names of programs?
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> what programs?
[13:53] <snow_usa> hmm
[13:53] <llutz> Zeonisis: mpg321, sox
[13:54] <IdleOne> dj_segfault: I would say PA bug

[13:55] <onur> is anyone able to manage logmein in Karmic Koala ?
[13:55] <onur> 64 bit
[13:55] <snow_usa> then, I can not come back to my original HWaddress
[13:55] <datta> i am trying to update to firefox 3.6 in 8.10 but ended up in firefox 3.6 pre
[13:55] <dj_segfault> datta: Did you mean 9:10?
[13:55] <snow_usa> I have already removed the line I added to /etc/networking/interfaces ; and restart the network
[13:55] <Zeonisis> How do I set volume through the command line?
[13:56] <onur> yes
[13:56] <snow_usa> but the HWAddress doesnt' come back !
[13:56] <duffydack> I need to have have this exported everytime I bootup "VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes"  can I just add that line in /etc/rc.local as it is?
[13:56] <dj_segfault> Zeonisis: alsamixer
[13:56] <onur> 9.10
[13:56] <onur> 9.10 x64

If I start up in ubuntu, linux 2.6.32-19 then it start up normal. Anyone got a possible solution or reason f
[13:58] <Nubstah> or this problem?
[13:58] <dj_segfault> datta: I don't know for sure, but I think it's reasonable to assume that a release that old would have incompatible libraries with the latest FF
[13:58] <Flynsarmy> How can i temporarily mount a windows share? The tuturoaisl if ind online all say to modify fstab but id on't want it there permanently
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> Flynsarmy:  you can use the mount command and do it on a 1 time basis.. of course the gnome file manager can also access them
[13:59] <datta> dj_segfault: but can you tell me how to uninstall and take me back to firefox 3 the deafault of ubuntu 8.10?
[13:59] <duffydack> Dr_Willis, ah..  so just adding that line at the end of bashrc will set it when I login?
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> duffydack:  it should
[13:59] <brontosaurusrex> Zeonisis: http://vivapinkfloyd.blogspot.com/2008/07/13-command-line-tools-for-audio-on.html
[13:59] <duffydack> Dr_Willis, how can I check that it has?
[14:00] <onur> :(
[14:00] <dj_segfault> datta: You should be able to use Synaptic to remove it.  Command line would work too, but with Synaptic you can search for Firefox so you can see you're removing everything.  Then reinstall firefox from Synaptic and it should give you the right verison.
[14:00] <onur> no one is dealing logmein ?

[14:02] <huglester> Hello guys. after I installed the custom kernel 2.6.33. When system starts  I get:ifdown: failed to lock statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: Permission denied. If I do for example: /etc/init.d/cron start I get this error:  "/usr/sbin/cron: can't lock /var/run/crond.pid, otherpid may be 32524: Function not implemented". Can someone point me what shoudl I do? Thank you very much
[14:02] <grzela> and it won't pass
[14:02] <sernylan> I'm suspecting it has to do with the "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" I'm getting from aptitude.
[14:02] <huglester> I've tried a many sollutions on google, but none help

[14:04] <osotogari> anyone know how i can get greetings on the terminal in ubuntu like what happens when i open the terminal in linux mint?

[14:07] <ikonia> Hellhound666: that's nothing to do with ubuntu - contact your router vendor/support
[14:07] <sernylan> osotogari, fortune or fortunes, one of the two.
[14:08] <osotogari> ill search for that so
[14:08] <Stargaze> lars_bauer, check http://www.ubuntu-user.com/Online/News/Kernel-2.6.33-Is-Completed
[14:08] <Hellhound666> just wondering if anybody knew of any good software that can manage cale modems.  It's showing up when I type lsusb
[14:08] <Stargaze> lars, check http://www.ubuntu-user.com/Online/News/Kernel-2.6.33-Is-Completed
[14:08] <IdleOne> Hellhound666: search for your router/model and default password or how to reset the router
[14:08] <julio> Hellhound666, you want to log to the routers web interface?
[14:08] <ikonia> Hellhound666: cable modems are not routers, which do you have a cable modem or a router
[14:08] <Hellhound666> wtf it was displayed as netgear now Primax???
[14:09] <Hellhound666> it's a cable modem/router
[14:09] <Hellhound666> sorry
[14:09] <ikonia> Hellhound666: please stop using the phrase "wtf" we know what it means and don't need to see it
[14:09] <airtonix> ...
[14:09] <Hellhound666> ikonia:  sorry
[14:09] <Stargaze> lars, see also = http://lxer.com/module/newswire/ext_link.php?rid=132634
[14:09] <julio> Hellhound666, go to where it is located and look for brand and model...
[14:09] <osotogari> @ sernylan: thanks
[14:09] <IdleOne> airtonix: the ... is that a anti idle script thingy or just a passive agressive way of saying you dislike the rules of the channel?
[14:09] <airtonix> Hellhound666, apt-cache search is your frienf
[14:09] <julio> under the device
[14:10] <sernylan> osotogari, no prob.
[14:10] <artur__> allo narod
[14:10] <osotogari> So anyone know how to solve a very slow ssh connection over my lan? I have read something about DNS names
[14:10] <airtonix> IdleOne, no its a multitude of !enter !language !ot !apt
[14:10] <artur__> kto esti  tut?
[14:10] <IdleOne> airtonix: ok so the latter
[14:10] <nibbler> osotogari, its only slow for logging in, or also when already connected?
[14:11] <qetuR> hey! im trying to remove "recent docuemnts" from my activities panel, is their anyway to do that in "gnome-shell"?
[14:11] <ikonia> osotogari: poor reverse dns is sometimes a factor in poor ssh reponse
[14:11] <Hellhound666> Hey thanks airtonix, ikonia, IdleOne and julio.  I'll see what I can come up with.
[14:12] <airtonix> IdleOne, no neither.
[14:12] <lorenzo> #ubuntu-it-chat
[14:12] <sernylan> What causes "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place" errors?  Mostly what I've found on the topic is people asking about it three years ago.
[14:13] <julio> Hellhound666, no prob, altough i haven't understood what the problem was :p
[14:13] <osotogari> nibbler: both at the login and during a session
[14:13] <lars_> ikonia: i wrote wrong.. the one that screw up is 2.6.31-20 and not 2.6.32-20
[14:13] <julio> !network-manager
[14:13] <osotogari> ikonia: even in a network with on 1 or other computers on the lan
[14:13] <nibbler> osotogari, so what is your bandwith if you do a scp for example? other protocols perform better? if its also slow after login DNS issues are basically ruled out
[14:14] <Enchilada> Can you guys see in your package manager which version of pdfcrop you can get? I'm looking for v. 1.5
[14:14] <Enchilada> The only thing I can google for is v0.2 or something
[14:14] <Enchilada> supposedly there is 1.5 to be found in some linux package managers
[14:14] <ikonia> osotogari: yes
[14:14] <pjammer> ps3 installs anyone?
[14:14] <ikonia> pjammer: what about the m
[14:14] <ikonia> them ?
[14:14] <pjammer> wpa2 ain't working
[14:15] <pjammer> out of the box/fresh install
[14:15] <ikonia> pjammer: define ain't working ?
[14:15] <jaik> Hi - how do I write a Symbol from ASCI, using the ALT key? I tried ALT-KEY + numer, but that didn't work :(
[14:15] <pjammer> icon says "Connected" there is no green 'bars'.  no errors no nothing.
[14:15] <osotogari> Just got a "software caused connection abort" message on my ssh session through puty
[14:16] <ikonia> pjammer: probably a dhcp server not giving an address, as connected means connected
[14:16] <Pelo> jaik, been trying to figure that one out for 4 years,  use the caracter map in accessories
[14:16] <pjammer> ikonia: so you think it's working but i ain't getting the addy
[14:16] <ikonia> pjammer: one option yes
[14:16] <jaik> Pelo: never heared about that
[14:16] <pjammer> i just need some google fu ikonia so thanks for that.  did you install it?
[14:16] <pjammer> or do you have it installed
[14:17] <brontosaurusrex> osotogari: so you can try an ip based connection to rule out the dns ?
[14:17] <ikonia> pjammer: I've used it in the past, but find it a big pointless waste of time
[14:17] <lars_> How come that 2.6.31-20 is giving me a black screen when i try to start up... ? If I restart in 2.6.31-19 it starts up normal...
[14:17] <Hellhound666> julio:  trying to modify the firmware can't do it through logging into the router
[14:17] <ikonia> brontosaurusrex: doesn't rule out reverse dns
[14:17] <pjammer> what you don't like a system with 256MB of ram? :-)
[14:17] <ProUbuntu> HELP. I have tried to install UNR 9.10 in many ways on Eee PC1000H and NO Sucess. In Others PC no problem. HELP
[14:17] <osotogari> brontosaurusrex: i connected using ip address, no hostname
[14:17] <goldenfox> hello everyone
[14:17] <brontosaurusrex> ikonia: ic
[14:17] <Hellhound666> only the ISP is able to push firmware updates I'm trying to figure out a way to do it myself.
[14:17] <goldenfox> I hate to ask this but I need your advice, where can I find a decent software appliance for mail server?
[14:18] <ikonia> Hellhound666: that's not an ubuntu issue then
[14:18] <ikonia> Hellhound666: contact your ISP or use another channel
[14:18] <Pelo> ProUbuntu, more info about what is going on would probably be helpfull
[14:18] <Stargaze> lars_, i wasn't even able to use 31-20, it was deleted immediately
[14:18] <Hellhound666> just looking for possible software
[14:18] <brontosaurusrex> ikonia: disable routers dns service?
[14:18] <ikonia> brontosaurusrex: errr no, just make sure ssh isn't set to use dns for reverse look ups
[14:18] <Martin30> hi, does anybody know how to set refresh rate for monitor higher than 85Hz in ubuntu 9.10?
[14:18] <Hellhound666> Ok general question will flashing firmware possibly reset the router to default settings?
[14:19] <ikonia> Hellhound666: we can't support that, contact your ISP please
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> Hellhound666:  yes.
[14:19] <Hellhound666> ok sorry
[14:19] <Hellhound666> thank you thank you that's what I needed to know
[14:19] <ProUbuntu> I made  USB installation that I have prepared in other computer with a live CD
[14:19] <lars_> Stargaze: How do I delete it? The autoupdater installed it for me i think... I havent installed it maunally though
[14:19] <Stargaze> Martin30, try System > prfefernces > Display
[14:19] <Stargaze> lars_, i have script for it but am not allowed to recommend it here
[14:19] <tamale1> hello all, my mouse is way too sensitive even after turning it down all the way.. how can I fix this?
[14:20] <Martin30> Stargaze: I tried that, but it offers only 85 Hz, but my monitor is capable of 120 at this resolution
[14:20] <Stargaze> lars_, better keep the old kernel, if the new does not work
[14:20] <kroson> does ctrl+alt+backspace work in ubuntu, or something similar?
[14:20] <kroson> to restart x?
[14:20] <airtonix> kroson, yes
[14:21] <ikonia> !nozp > kroson
[14:21] <ikonia> !nozap > kroson
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> kroson:  latest X releses defaultes to that being disabled
[14:21] <Stargaze> kroson, you can reactivate it in the keyboard shortcut settings
[14:21] <kroson> hmm
[14:21] <kroson> so there is no command to restart x?
[14:21] <kroson> by default?
[14:21] <soUPERMan> how do i restart a process?
[14:22] <ikonia> !dontzap > kroson
[14:22] <kroson> thanks ikonia  :)
[14:22] <soUPERMan> ubottu: How do i restart a process
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> kroson:  'sudo service gdm restart'   can do it I think
[14:22] <kroson> lol
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> soUPERMan:  clarify wht you mean
[14:22] <soUPERMan> thanks Dr_Willis
[14:23] <lars_> I would like to keep the old kernel - but im pretty new in ubuntu/linux - so I dont know how to make the 31-19 kernel default - anyhow.. why has the 31-20 kernel been downloaded to my system, when it doesnt work?
[14:23] <lars_> so many questions :)
[14:23] <kroson> Dr_Willis: the problem i have is in lucid, first time system starts, the X server crashes, needs a restart, its a bug
[14:24] <soUPERMan> Dr_Willis: i wanna restart conky without passing a kill signal then manually restart it, how do i do that?
[14:24] <echa> hi, i just install 10.04 as an upgrade, now nautilus doesn't start. it just flashes "starting file manager" in task bar
[14:24] <echa> anyone seen this behaviour?
[14:24] <brontosaurusrex> soUPERMan: man conky ?
[14:25] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[14:25] <xangua> !lucid | echa
[14:25] <Stargaze> mornig? almost 4pm here :)
[14:26] <soUPERMan> brontosaurusrex: getting nothin
[14:26] <kroson> im going to test
[14:26] <soUPERMan> ok, forget about that, what bout restarting x.org server
[14:27] <lars_> Stargaze: hmm.. how do I keep the old kernel? Can i make 31-19 default so it doesnt start in 31-20?
[14:27] <Stargaze> lars_, if you are not certain, do not use it!!
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> soUPERMan:  the conky docs tell the proper command to restart it.
[14:28] <erUSUL> !lucid | echa
[14:28] <brontosaurusrex> soUPERMan: how about '"killall -SIGUSR1 conky"' ? http://conky.sourceforge.net/docs.html
[14:28] <erUSUL> echa: ouch sorry; somebody already did that ;)
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> brontosaurusrex:  it pays to read the docs :) I always make a 'restartconky' alias that does that
[14:29] <soUPERMan> Dr_Willis: yeah, i should do the alias thing :P, thanx
[14:29]  * soUPERMan going to eat
[14:29] <brontosaurusrex> Dr_Willis: sure
[14:29] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: reading docs, that's like ummm anti American or something
[14:30] <brontosaurusrex> i refuse to read anything about cups thought
[14:30] <Stargaze> isegrim, van den vos reynaerde!! :)
[14:31] <lars_> I am certain that my computer start up in 31-20. I am certain that it doesnt start up but gives me a black screen. I am certain that 31-19 works when I choose to start up in that. But I am not certain how to make my system start up in 31-19 again, so I dont have to restart my computer twice in order to get to the screen where I can select 31-19 to start up the computer.... *cry* I just want my computer to start up properly :)
[14:32] <switchgirl> hi
[14:32] <^Willie^> ola !
[14:32] <switchgirl> i need to do a NFS install over LAN can anyone help i dont have a clue
[14:32] <^Willie^> someone here who can tell me about the current gdm theme`s ?
[14:33] <IdleOne> lars_: uninstall 31-20 and it will use the next available kernel
[14:33] <erUSUL> !install | switchgirl
[14:33] <switchgirl> !es ^Willie^
[14:33] <^Willie^> es ?
[14:33] <^Willie^> ehh dutch ;)
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> switchgirl:  you mean you need to do a 'net install' ?
[14:33] <lars_> IdleOne: I would if I knew where to uninstall it :)
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> ^Willie^:  tell you what about it?
[14:34] <IdleOne> switchgirl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallMultiDistro
[14:34] <^Willie^> but what i need to do is create an custom login manager for X that will run an app in kiosk mode
[14:34] <switchgirl> yes i have a eeepc that doesnt support chain load booting bu i tried to get it to chainload via grub2
[14:34] <IdleOne> switchgirl: that should get you going
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> ^Willie^:   You can make gdm login as a specific user
[14:34] <erUSUL> lars_: Synaptic search for linux-image or 2.6.31-20
[14:34] <IdleOne> lars_: From Synaptic Package manager
[14:34] <IdleOne> linux-kernel search
[14:34] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: true i have tested that but i do not want to load metacity
[14:35]  * Stargaze note to self: don't recommend kernel script anymore
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> ^Willie^:  make a desktop item /gdm session to load whatever you want
[14:35] <_dreamy> hello, i whould like to install kopete and it requires alot of kde packages.. id just like to ask.. may the installation of those packages somehow slow down my system ? .. its performance ?
[14:35] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: i`m thinking about just try uninstall gnome and try it via xdm but no clue how that is working if it come`s to non default usage
[14:35] <kroson> ctrl alt bckspace worked
[14:35] <kroson> but id like to be able to use it from the login screen
[14:35] <kroson> is there a way?
[14:36] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: yes but the customer do not want some desktop env running in the back
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> ^Willie^:  theres no need to Uninstall gnome.  make a new whatever.desktop  item that runs EXACTLY what you want
[14:36] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: and i have seen it is posible but then i get some 300x400 pixel screen
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> Gnome will NOT be running if you dont tell it to
[14:36] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: but it slows down the bootup process ;)
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> ^Willie^:  err.. No it wont.
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> if gnome never gets loaded.. its not going to slow it down
[14:36] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: or is it an 10 sec programmed delay in the gdm theme ?
[14:37] <Dr_Willis> ^Willie^:  ive never seen a 10 sec delay.
[14:37] <Stargaze> my gnome loads in about 1 minute
[14:37] <Dr_Willis> You dont have to use gdm if you dont want to. You could make rc.local do a 'startx' as whatever user you wanted
[14:37] <milon> mln
[14:37] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: hmmzz before the desktop loads you se an red screen with 3 stage lights and some moving sprite in the middle here in vmware it is 2 sec native on my customers quadcore intel box 10 sec :S
[14:37] <Stargaze> Dr_Willis, how do i do that?
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> ^Willie^:   you can disable xsplash if youwanted also.
[14:38] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: yes just startx and get the empty x session screen is enough i dont need more then that :D
[14:38] <flyingbuzz> Hi, I have question in this case. Why does keyring always ask admin password if I don't use gdm?
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> Stargaze:  alter the rc.local to run  'su startx' or somthing like that.. if you really wanted to. I dont see much point in it
[14:39] <Dr_Willis> ^Willie^:  time tolearn  how to confiogure things then. make a .xinitrc
[14:39] <Stargaze> Dr_Willis, does that decrease the boot time?
[14:39] <Dr_Willis> by default here it loads the default  desktop last i tried it.
[14:39] <Dr_Willis> Stargaze:  depends.. I dont worry about it to much
[14:39] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: do you know some info source about these stuff? since i`m an gentoo linux user i`m always seeking in loops where are my files for example /etc/init.d have confg files in etc/conf.d and on ubuntu it is etc/init .. ;)
[14:39] <Dr_Willis> 30 sec boot time on a machine that gets 30+ days Uptime.. not worth  me worrying about
[14:40] <Dr_Willis> !upstart | ^Willie^
[14:40] <^Willie^> that did costh me an hour already :p forum's users point others to gconf-edit and i need bare script ;)
[14:40] <Dr_Willis> startx normally runs .xinitrc or .Xsession these days.. thats old-skool stuff
[14:40] <rascal999> I'm looking into network authentication, doesn't have to support windows auth, any suggestions that allow network login and designated hd space?
[14:40] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: thmx reading
[14:40] <flyingbuzz> anybody?
[14:41] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: jup but i whas missing some stuff in xinitrc :S
[14:41] <Dr_Willis> then add it...
[14:41] <Dr_Willis> You just implied you wanted total control.. you got it.
[14:41] <lars_> Thanks guys. It helped uninstalling it from synaptic :) weee
[14:41] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: i can trust ubuntu on that ? no modified scripts ?
[14:41] <Take0n> Hello room. Could someone please tell me how I can make custom commands in ubuntu? I mean, I have a bash script which I want to execute from wherever I am and not have to go to its location or use full path to run it.. I also dont want to run it as ./name but just name bla bla. is it possible and if it is, how? thank you
[14:41] <Dr_Willis> ^Willie^:  clarify what you mean.
[14:42] <llutz> Take0n: place it at /usr/local/bin for all users, or ~/bin for you
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> Take0n:  trival.. make a bin dir. in your users home.. it will get added to the path
[14:42] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: i know xorg and gnome as fetch source code and run compiler then config .. ubuntu is like debian precompiled but surprising me with doing stuff difrent
[14:42]  * Dr_Willis thinks ubuntu needs to default to haveing a bin dir.
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> ^Willie^:  they tweak stuff - yes.
[14:42] <Take0n> thanks guys! Dr_Willis u mean lk mkdir bin in ~?
[14:43] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: so i have to accept the ubuntu methods somehow
[14:43] <^Willie^> ;)
[14:43] <surial> I've got an ubuntu server that, on entirely random occasions, switches to what appears to be DHCP-assigned IP address. /etc/network/interfaces rather clearly states that it should use a static IP address. Whatever could be causing this?
[14:44] <llutz> Take0n: "mkdir ~/bin && cp yourscripts* ~/bin" and re login then
[14:44] <erUSUL> Take0n: mkdir ~/bin ; cp script ~/bin/
[14:44] <Take0n> I already have a folder bin there just didnt know it could be used that way!!
[14:45] <Take0n> one last question and I will stop bothering you. do I have to re-login everytime I add a script or just once if there were no bin folder and I created one?
[14:45] <Stargaze> brb, try to decrease boot speed
[14:45] <VCoolio> Take0n: just restart your terminal in this case is ok I think
[14:45] <Take0n> oh nice
[14:45] <llutz> Take0n: no if you alread have a bin-dir, no relogin needed at all, it should be in your PATH (echo $PATH)
[14:45] <llutz> VCoolio: no need
[14:45] <Take0n> thank you
[14:46] <Take0n> yeap it is =)
[14:46] <wangside137> Hey guys, is there an ETA on Ubuntu 10.4?  I'm waiting for its release, so I can reinstall the OS on my server
[14:46] <kellyh> surial: when you installed did you select dhcp from the installer? i can't remember how but i had a similar problem once with a debian server doing something similar, i think i ended up removing the dhcpclient application/configs in the end
[14:46] <kroson> ppl do you know any way to restart X from the login screen?
[14:46] <llutz> Take0n: so just copy your scripts there
[14:46] <surial> kellyh: Maybe. This box is, oh boy, many years ago since I installed it.
[14:46] <llutz> kroson: alt-sysreq-k
[14:46] <surial> kellyh: What's the magic apt-get reconfigure key?
[14:47] <kroson> llutz: what is the sysreq-k key?
[14:47] <IdleOne> kroson: the print screen key
[14:47] <kellyh> wangside137: april 2010 sometime, sposed to be about 29th i think?
[14:47] <IdleOne> SysRq
[14:47] <kroson> ah ok i found it
[14:47] <kroson> ill try it brb
[14:48] <dan_> does anyone know what shell is, and if so does ubuntu have shell?
[14:48] <kellyh> surial: sorry i don;t know off hand, i just iirc commented out anything in the dhcp client config file
[14:48] <erUSUL> dan_: sh is dash and login shelñls are bash
[14:48] <erUSUL> dan_: sh is dash and login shells are bash
[14:48] <surial> kellyh: Where's that?
[14:48] <dan_> erUSUL, care to elaborate?
[14:48] <kroson> IdleOne: that key is working as prtscr
[14:48] <kroson> how do i change it to work as Sysrq?
[14:49] <llutz> kroson: alt-sysreq-k
[14:49] <erUSUL> dan_: elaborate your question; what do you want to know ?
[14:49] <llutz> kroson: 3 keys together
[14:49] <dan_> erUSUL does ubuntu have shell?
[14:49] <kellyh> surial: looks to be in /etc/dhcp3 on this ubuntu netbook,
[14:49] <IdleOne> kroson: you need to hold down alt key, sysrq key and K at the same time
[14:49] <erUSUL> dan_: all unix system do have a shell
[14:49] <dan_> erUSUL how do i access it?
[14:50] <erUSUL> !cli | dan_
[14:50] <jiohdi> what does a sysrq key do?
[14:50] <llutz> jiohdi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key
[14:50] <erUSUL> jiohdi: it depends on what key you press "k" kills all userspace programs
[14:51] <IdleOne> jiohdi: it has magical powers that nobody is really certain about. When combined with alt and K it makes your pc go poof and come back
[14:51] <kroson_> IdleOne: thanks it worked
[14:52] <^Willie^> Dr_Willis: hmmzz i do need to dig some more info about the current X config :S somehow afther removing gdm from the default display manager it still starts gdm whith startx ... so guess uninstall those and apt-get x and look from there how to build it up
[14:52] <IdleOne> kroson_: sure thing ++ to llutz  also :)
[14:52] <kroson_> in lucid my x server crashes the first time it is initialized
[14:52] <jiohdi> is that like control alt backspace
[14:52] <jiohdi> in debian?
[14:52] <kroson_> so i have to restart it every time i restart my computer
[14:52] <IdleOne> kroson_: #ubuntu=1 for support with Lucid
[14:52] <erUSUL> jiohdi: no
[14:52] <kroson_> and this command is realy helpful
[14:52] <IdleOne> #ubuntu+1 sorry
[14:53] <kroson_> IdleOne: im there too, but my doubt is related to all ubuntu's, so asked in both channels
[14:53] <daniela> ola
[14:53] <daniela> ola
[14:53] <IdleOne> !es | daniela
[14:54] <daniela> ola
[14:54] <kroson_> IdleOne: lucid is looking very good
[14:54] <erUSUL> daniela: portuguese/brasil?
[14:55] <surial> There's an /etc/dhcp3 dir, but dhcp-client isn't installed, neither is udhcpc.
[14:57] <surial> okay, apt-get -s remove dhcp3-client suggests it'll remove "ubuntu-base". I'm guessing that would be a bad thing.
[14:58] <Stargaze> my menu.lst has magically disappeared

[15:15] <SamuelPeterson> I know this might be a dumb question, but is it possible to have ubuntu desktop and ubuntu moblin remix on the same partition so that all the files and users are the same no matter which one I boot to?
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> SamuelPeterson:  you can proberly install both desktops and select teh one you want from the GDM login screen
[15:15] <Stargaze> SamuelPeterson, do you have a moblin iso? if yes, where do i find it?
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> SamuelPeterson:  or you could in theory share /home with the 2. but theres proberly other things to watch out for
[15:16] <Shubuntu> hey guys, I installed a software that required me to copy a shell script as gcc to the usr/bin now that i've removed it and did aptitude reinstall gcc, i still can't use gcc, please help?
[15:16] <SamuelPeterson> Dr_Willis, how would I find out which desktop it uses? Google failed me.
[15:16] <SamuelPeterson> Stargaze: dell.com/ubuntu
[15:16] <abhi_nav> Shubuntu: reinstall gcc then?
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> SamuelPeterson:  i dont use moblin, so no idea how they set things up., But you could in theory install their stuff and have a gdm session that runs moblin
[15:17] <abhi_nav> xen you there?
[15:17] <Stargaze> Shubuntu, don't say 'plz help', say 'hints & tips plz' :)
[15:17] <Shubuntu> abhi_nav, i did aptitude reinstall gcc, didn't work, did build-essential too, still didn't work
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> Moblin is the kind of project that seems to radically change every other week
[15:17] <abhi_nav> Shubuntu sudo apt-get install gcc
[15:18] <dannek7> hey all
[15:18] <Stargaze> Dr_Willis, it's like our government then ;) (off-topic, sorry)
[15:19] <Guest13914> hi... where can I find config files for programs in Ubuntu?
[15:20] <jrib> Guest13914: be more specific
[15:20] <nibbler> Guest13914, in /etc and in your homedir (systemwide and personal)
[15:20] <m_tadeu> hi all
[15:20] <abhi_nav> hi
[15:20] <Guest13914> thx
[15:20] <m_tadeu> how can I manipulate NetworkManager throught the command line?
[15:20] <rooligan> do i need the new murrine version to use the "light" themes?
[15:20] <comfy> hi everybody, question on left clicking for flash video, I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras package but left clicks don't work on flash video
[15:21] <comfy> a way to get around it, it to right click several times, and then left click will work
[15:21] <comfy> then I tried what this page says http://helpforlinux.blogspot.com/2009/11/i-cannot-click-on-flash-in-ubuntu.html
[15:21] <dewman> hey everyone. I am trying to install nvidia drivers for a Geforce 2 mx400 on 9.10. I download the 96.43.16 from nvidia and dropped to a shell stopped gdm and ran it. Now when all i get a warning from my monitor saying that it is out of range. How can i correct this?
[15:22] <Shubuntu> abhi_nav, didn't work
[15:22] <comfy> but then I can't view youtube videos
[15:22] <abhi_nav> !details | Shubuntu
[15:22] <comfy> anybody have the same problem?
[15:22] <Fello-> dewman: I think you have to edit the xorg.conf
[15:22] <dewman> Fello-, I didnt think that 9.10 had a static xorg.conf?
[15:23] <Shubuntu> as I said, gcc doesn't do anything, just sits there. no output. I can't compile anything
[15:23] <dewman> Fello-, I do see one....Hmm... Ok i will see what it says
[15:23] <comfy> I'm running ubuntu 9.10, and now I can either do what the page suggests and get left click on flash video, or don't do what the page says, and watch youtube videos fine
[15:23] <m_tadeu> anyone? how can I use networkmanager throught the command line?
[15:23] <silentx> Hey .. I want to formate my external HD .. to make ext4 .. ( I know how .. ), but i dont know how to put a password on it .. could help me or just give me hint
[15:23] <dannek7> anyone here have a recommendation for a netgear router which I need to reboot every couple of days? I've done the firmware update from netgear
[15:23] <Fello-> dewman: deargod i think your right
[15:24] <Fello-> dewman: i'm getting old :P
[15:24] <z0r> m_tadeu: tried man networkmanager?
[15:24] <m_tadeu> I did....can't seem to be able to start my network with it
[15:24] <Erica81new> ?
[15:25] <z0r> m_tadeu: does ifconfig show your network adapter?
[15:25] <alex__> hola
[15:25] <silentx> Hey .. I want to formate my external HD .. to make ext4 .. ( I know how .. ), but i dont know how to put a password on it .. could help me or just give me hint
[15:25] <xangua> !es | alex__
[15:26] <alex__> hola
[15:26] <dewman> Fello-, I looked in it, there is just hte keyboard and mouse.....Nothing about the video card.
[15:26] <Erica81new> Hi gays and suckers!!!!!1111111111111
[15:26] <fabio> i need to start ubuntu with the internet key plugged in order to connect... any idea why?
[15:27] <alex__> yes
[15:27] <alex__> i have got an idea
[15:27] <abhi_nav_> Shubuntu i was disconnected repeat if you had say something
[15:27] <fabio> so?
[15:28] <Shubuntu> as I said, gcc doesn't do anything, just sits there. no output. I can't compile anything
[15:28] <madalin> hello
[15:28] <madalin> how can i automatically cleanup old kernels ?
[15:28] <m_tadeu> z0r: it does
[15:28] <jrib> Shubuntu: well you had a script in place of gcc.  That seems a bit strange.  What did the script do?
[15:28] <abhi_nav_> Shubuntu sudo apt-get remove gcc
[15:29] <Shubuntu> jrib, it ran a python thing prior to gcc, and then ran gcc
[15:30] <z0r> m_tadeu: cat /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf <--- there should be 1 line under [managed]... what does it say?
[15:30] <pralka> kluska
[15:30] <m_tadeu> z0r: I'm doing "sudo NetworkManager up wlan0"...no error is displayed
[15:30] <jrib> Shubuntu: did gcc work before?
[15:30] <Shubuntu> yes
[15:30] <pralka> hello
[15:30] <jrib> Shubuntu: did gcc work with the script in place?
[15:30] <Shubuntu> yes
[15:30] <madalin> anyone can help me out with how to remove non-used kernels?
[15:30] <jrib> Shubuntu: so just move the gcc binary back, no?  Or did the script do more?
[15:31] <antonio_> irc.openjoke.org;
[15:31] <Dr_Willis> madalin:  i cheat and use ubuntu-tweak's cleanup feature for that
[15:31] <silentx> Is there a way to put password on External HD of type EXT4 ?? >>
[15:31] <Shubuntu> i removed the script
[15:31] <m_tadeu> z0r: there is nothing saying managed
[15:31] <Shubuntu> i removed and purged build-essential
[15:31] <Shubuntu> still no use
[15:31] <z0r> m_tadeu: cat /etc/network/interfaces <--- is your wlan0 in there?
[15:31] <jrib> Shubuntu: you need to reinstall gcc, not build-essential
[15:31] <llutz> silentx:no, encrypt it if you need
[15:31] <mkey> hey
[15:32] <madalin> Dr_Willis, which one ?
[15:32] <HonkingRedPanda> Whats the kinda linux equivalent to an .exe?
[15:32] <z0r> fuck. SSD just crapped out again
[15:32] <m_tadeu> z0r: there's no iface there....onmy [main] and [ifupdown] sections
[15:32] <abhi_nav_> Shubuntu .bin
[15:32] <erUSUL> !language
[15:32] <silentx> llutz:then if someOne tried to open it .. it asks a password ? ..
[15:32] <abhi_nav_>  .bin
[15:32] <jrib> HonkingRedPanda: why?
[15:33] <Shubuntu> jrib, build essential is a wrapper it installs gcc too
[15:33] <jrib> Shubuntu: I know this
[15:33] <Shubuntu> abhi_nav_, i don't understand what your'e saying
[15:33] <z0r> m_tadeu: that's nice. care to cat /etc/network/interfaces and tell me if wlan0 is there now?
[15:33] <jrib> Shubuntu: purge and install gcc, this is what you have to do...
[15:33] <abhi_nav_> Shubuntu sorry, that last msg was not for you
[15:33] <HonkingRedPanda> jrib: just wondering
[15:33] <llutz> silentx: you'll need aditional software and the password/-phrase to use it
[15:33] <m_tadeu> z0r: not there either
[15:34] <silentx> llutz:like?
[15:34] <jrib> HonkingRedPanda: your question is to general, the answer is "an executable file" I guess.
[15:34] <jrib> too
[15:34] <llutz> silentx: truecrypt, ecrypt
[15:34] <z0r> m_tadeu: good. because if it were, you'd need something under [ifupdown] that says managed=true.
[15:34] <silentx> oky thanx
[15:35] <z0r> I will be back soon. ALT+SysRq+REISUB...
[15:35] <m_tadeu> z0r: I have it to false
[15:35] <mkey> have windows xp  ubuntu 9.10 dual boot. any downside to dumping xp and running just 9.10?
[15:36] <airtonix> mkey, facing your fear ?
[15:36] <silentx> llutz: what is the best program
[15:37] <mkey> like 9.10 that much
[15:37] <airtonix> mkey, to be honest you didn't ask a question that propogates real answers.
[15:37] <llutz> silentx: there is no "best" app, read about all that stuff and decide what fits your needs
[15:37] <mkey> ok
[15:37] <kroson_> mkey: just thinking what the downisde could be xD
[15:37] <silentx> thnkx alot .. c yea ..
[15:37] <drago_> non riesco a connettere il mio pc alla rete wireless solo se questa nn è cifrata. qualcuno mi puo aiutare?
[15:37] <nibbler> !it | drago_
[15:38] <drago_> grazie ubottu!!!
[15:38] <airtonix> mkey, most peoples idea of downsides to not using xp coems of cultural conditioning at school when they refer to the word processor as word instead of just a word processor
[15:38] <Saint_The7> Does there will be any problems when i install ubuntu 9.04 next to Windows 7?
[15:38] <sbso> hello ,everyone.
[15:38] <airtonix> mkey, its also a question best asked in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:38] <abhi_nav__> hey
[15:38] <mkey> gottcha
[15:39] <abhi_nav__> why my xchat is contineously disconnecting?
[15:39] <madalin> can anyone help me clean up old kernels on my system?
[15:39] <Dr_Willis> madalin:  i cheat and use ubuntu-tweak's cleanup feature for that
[15:40] <madalin> Dr_Willis, i already asked you which one. If you're reffering to computer janitor, then no, it's not cleaning anything.
[15:40] <dook> My ubuntu occasionally hangs on shutdown and I have to switch the machine off manually.  I'm looking through the syslog but I really don't know what to look for- or if I maybe need to be looking somewhere else.
[15:40] <abhi_nav> can you see me messeges?
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> madalin:  the programs name is 'ubuntu-tweak' its an unofficial program not in the repos
[15:41] <mkey> bbak
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> madalin:  it has its own ppa repos
[15:41] <abhi_nav> dook: same prob as that of you. may be due to over heating
[15:41] <sbso> how to play the flash?
[15:41] <antonio_> file
[15:41] <nibbler> dook, shutdown problems are most likely not connected to overheating. your  problem is, that the syslogd might already be stopped. just shutdown and watch it on the commandline and see where it hangs
[15:41] <dewman> Where would I check to see where the video drivers die when it trys to start the desktop?
[15:41] <madalin> Dr_Willis, can you provide a link please ?
[15:42] <m_tadeu> can anyone help me with network manager? I don't have network connection
[15:42] <Dr_Willis> madalin:  id just have to google for 'ubuntu tweak' it should be the first hit.,
[15:42] <madalin> I found it. Thanks!
[15:43] <lorenzo> #ubuntu-it
[15:43] <dook> nibbler: when it hangs I am no longer able to switch to a console.  I'm stuck looking at my wallpaper until I shut it off.
[15:43] <lorenzo> #ubuntu-it-chat
[15:43] <nibbler> dook, start by stopping your x-session (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop) and then issue "sudo shutdown -h now"
[15:43] <Atomic> dook My old one did that. Never did find what was going on.
[15:44] <dook> nibbler: Thanks I'll start doing that then.
[15:44] <nibbler> dook, the first command will already kill your x, so be sure to have saved everything etc
[15:47] <root_> if i change .profile last line from mesg n to startx am i going to break anything?
[15:47] <m_tadeu> where does network manager logs the errors?
[15:49] <Dr_Willis> root_:  every time you launch a shell/termianl it might try to start another X session.
[15:49] <Dr_Willis> root_:  so it may not be a good idea.
[15:49] <root_> i see
[15:49] <llutz> also irc as root isn't a good idea
[15:49] <root_> well Dr_willis my distro is booting to command line, where should i put startx?
[15:49] <markcl> does using only the shell, without gui improve laptop battery life.
[15:50] <Dr_Willis> root_:  figure out why gdm isent starting.. or just do 'startx' after you login
[15:50] <markcl> i can live with just lynx and vim...
[15:50] <llutz> markcl: every running process needs a little bit (or more) of power, so yes
[15:50] <Dr_Willis> markcl:  try it and see..   I imagine it would help some. but then you may not have the various power-saving/cpu limiting tools/services running
[15:50] <MikeChelen> how can a disk encrypted with the alt. cd installer be accessed?
[15:50] <ross_> nick AndrewR
[15:50] <markcl> llutz: would the time saved be significant?
[15:51] <knums> root_, maybe your default runlevel in /etc/inittab is not 5 ?
[15:51] <llutz> markcl: i doubt that
[15:51] <Dr_Willis> !runlevel
[15:51] <sclimans> I am using openoffice writer and I want to add notes to a file but do so anonymously.  When I add a note, it adds my name.  How can I, for example, change the name of all notes by an author in a document?  By notes I mean, if you were to click Insert->Note
[15:51] <llutz> knums: runlevel 2-5 are equal
[15:51] <nibbler> MikeChelen, in the partitioning tool, make a partition for encryption
[15:51] <knums> llutz, hu? explain?
[15:51] <betty> salut
[15:52] <llutz> knums: runlevel 2-5 are equal <- explain what part?
[15:52] <MikeChelen> nibbler, the encrypted partition was already made during installation. now need to access without booting the regular system
[15:52] <knums> llutz, only in ubuntu?
[15:52] <root_> Dr_willis my distro was built off of ubuntu. im not even sure if is supposed to startx by default
[15:52] <sclimans> I am using openoffice writer and I want to add notes to a file but do so anonymously.  When I add a note, it adds my name.  How can I, for example, change the name of all notes by an author in a document?  By notes I mean, if you were to click Insert->Note.
[15:52] <llutz> knums: debian too (afaik, i have no debian with X)
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> root_:  neither do we.. we cant support every ubuntu-spinnoff out there.
[15:53] <betty> Is there someone who speaks french
[15:53] <Dr_Willis> root_:   I cant imigine why it wouldent..
[15:53] <betty> ?
[15:53] <nibbler> MikeChelen, ah ok, thats pretty easy. just open it with nautilus, should pop up a password request. if not, use cryptsetup to do so (commandline)
[15:53] <root_> i do not have a /etc/inittab
[15:53] <shumpie> hi, I may be in the wrong place.. maybe someone can tell me the right place in that case.
[15:53] <Dr_Willis> root_:  ubuntu dosent use inittab any more
[15:53] <guntbert> MikeChelen: please have a look at http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7568/1.html
[15:53] <Dr_Willis> !inittab
[15:53] <knums> llutz, ah okay. i never looked which runlevels in ubuntu are available and what they do.
[15:53] <llutz> root_: thanks to upstart, you don't
[15:53] <pascalFR> !fstab
[15:53] <abhi_nav> shumpie: in which case?
[15:53] <root_> yeah im just curious to where you would place startx
[15:54] <shumpie> I am trying to install a package in Lyx, hi abhi
[15:54] <MikeChelen> nibbler, where in nautilus could it be opened?  will check out cryptsetup command as well
[15:54] <abhi_nav> shumpie: this is ubuntu support channel you can ask question related to ubuntu
[15:54] <nibbler> MikeChelen, ah ok, i was talking about complete partition encryption, the link you got is about homedir encryption. this is a diference
[15:54] <ombretta> hello
[15:54] <knums> llutz, for general i have to work wirh rhel and suse distros ... these are old-school :)
[15:54] <MikeChelen> guntbert, that refers to encrypted home directory, not full-disk encryption
[15:54] <sham_> hello
[15:55] <abhi_nav> hi sham_
[15:55] <shumpie> ok, thanks abhi -
[15:55] <llutz> knums: hmpf, topic says we're talking about ubuntu here :)
[15:55] <abhi_nav> shumpie: :)
[15:55] <MikeChelen> nibbler, yah mine is full disk with dm-crypt/luks (afaik) set up through alt. install cd
[15:55] <root_> i mean the only autorun im familiar with is the one in /.kde/autorun
[15:55] <guntbert> MikeChelen: you are right - I misread - sorry no experience here
[15:55] <shumpie> I will check if there is a Lyx channel first
[15:55] <nibbler> MikeChelen, cryptsetup luksOpen .... is what you need most likely
[15:55] <MikeChelen> guntbert, no prob, that is cloase, thanks for trying to help :)
[15:56] <abhi_nav> shumpie: what is Lyx
[15:56] <knums> llutz, yeah i know. but i don't think, that this was changed :) ... for private i use ubuntu
[15:56] <llutz> abhi_nav: a tex-"frontend"
[15:56] <Doran> hola
[15:56] <abhi_nav> llutz: a text frontend for what?

[16:37] <adapa> dr3mro: openoffice uses your existing java. it doesn't provide it's own. ibm java is available for linux with a license. i don't see any reason you wouldn't want sun java tbh.
[16:37] <jon5000> What grep command again?

[16:39] <MilitantPotato> ttech5: did you do a proper install, or install while in windows (using WUBI)
[16:39] <adapa> dr3mro: that's probably just a poorly written java programme you're running on it. open office uses the java you already have. you could try the openjdk which is in the universe repository iirc. but sun provide theirs for free and pay developers to put more time into it. you should take advantage of that.
[16:39] <Stefkee> what happens?
[16:39] <ded> the_hydra, what is "filter"
[16:39] <jon5000> Chili555, it is an airforce one 54g
[16:39] <chili555> jon5000, under system -administration - hardware drivers, is there an option to activate it?

[16:41] <lebron> hy hello, my question: "i'm looking for a mobile phone that i can hook up with usb to my computer (linux) and sync evolution calendar, now it must be able to do this: ' input data on mobile sync with computer and input data on computer and sync with mobile' any suggestions of phones that can do that?"thx
[16:41] <rlameiro> the_hydra: I cant delete, it says its a readonly filesystem....
[16:41] <ttech5> I have a problem with booting up. I'm running Ubuntu version 8.04 (i think) 32 bit
[16:41] <abhi_nav> lebron: this is ubuntu support channel
[16:41] <ttech5> should i try installing 9.10?
[16:41] <adapa_> lebron: i've seen it done with an iphone and rhythmboc but it was a bit of a hack.
[16:41] <lebron> abhi_nav, i know but i thought due to evolution it could be related.. :p
[16:42] <abhi_nav> lebron: yah its fine :)
[16:42] <lebron> adapa_, oke, ill google it a little thx:)
[16:42] <the_hydra> rlameiro, then..I suggest to copy the ISO content out to a directory....modify it there...then create a new ISO
[16:42] <abhi_nav> ttech5: you downloaed iso? then you may know the version from the name of that iso file
[16:42] <alex_smith2000> does anybody have an experience to install Ubuntun netbook remix on eeePC 1005PE -- have a problem with the screen brightness, the screen is dimmed sporadically
[16:43] <rlameiro> the_hydra: will i loose the boot feature? because i am on x86, but editing a iso for powerpc
[16:43] <ttech5> yes i did, brb i'll check the name of the iso
[16:43] <the_hydra> rlameiro, not sure about that..sorry
[16:43] <rlameiro> the_hydra: thnx

[16:43] <varros> hello all
[16:44] <osotogari> can anyone tell me more about wireless power management in ubuntu and how to turn it off?
[16:44] <ttech5> ok it's version 8.04.4-desktop-i386
[16:44] <abhi_nav> what is wireless power management?
[16:44] <abhi_nav> ttech5: if you can try to install 9.04 or 9.10
[16:44] <adapa_> osotogari: right click the network manager applet and disable the enable wireless check box. works for me.
[16:45] <ttech5> i'll try installing 9.10 later, thanks!
[16:45] <chili555> osotogari, sudo iwconfig <interface> power off
[16:45] <abhi_nav> ttech5: you dont or you cant have it now ?
[16:45] <diego> ciao a tutti
[16:45] <chili555> jon5000, do you have an ethernet connection on the machine?
[16:45] <erUSUL> osotogari: sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off
[16:45] <ttech5> i need to still burn the cd of it and download the iso, luckily i have two computers
[16:46] <cheako> Any Xorg-Edgers?  ne1 /w r600/rv670?
[16:46] <osotogari> adapa_ chili555  - that will turn off the adapter. Is there any situation where ubuntu would be turning the wireless adapter on/off depending on usage?
[16:46] <ttech5> i'll go do that and report my fnding when i'm done
[16:46] <alex_smith2000> note - disabling a wireless doesn't power off a wifi device on my system
[16:46] <chili555> osotogari, i dont believe so   man iwconfig
[16:46] <adapa_> osotogari: no, it shouldn't do. all adapters i've seen don't do that.
[16:47] <cheako> I'd like to compare.  My system isn't working...  I turned of KMS and that fixed thigs.
[16:47] <adapa_> osotogari: if they do do that it's likely to be a hardware specific thing, not software
[16:47] <cheako> Direct rendering is no.
[16:47] <cheako> Wait... I hjave a bug open.

[16:48] <wensleydale> Hello all. Is there a command to safely remove a USB WIFI card? Or do you only have to safely eject data-storing USB devices?
[16:48] <jon5000> Chili5000, yes Ethernet
[16:48] <LjL> wensleydale: the latter
[16:48] <osotogari> adapa_ chili555 - over ssh/remote desktop my connection keeps getting dropped. I was just wondering if this maybe hardward related
[16:48] <osotogari> running over wireless
[16:49] <Noni> Hey guys Im stuck afetr updating 9.10.. It wont boot.. I get a recovery screen asking to choose noram or recovery mode.. but it wont boot to an of them.. please help !!
[16:49] <cheako> wensleydale: You could down the interface first... but you should be fine.
[16:49] <craig_freenode> right apparently teamviewer doesnt work with wine
[16:49] <Stefkee> How to delete user from ubuntu?
[16:49] <adapa_> osotogari: maybe signal strength related. wireless is known for dropping packets left right and center. although there are protocol arrangements to minimise disruption.
[16:49] <Stefkee> sudo deluser Username?
[16:49] <wensleydale> LjL cheako : So ifconfig wlan# down then remove and its allgood?
[16:49] <adapa_> osotogari: try moving closer?
[16:49] <cheako> wensleydale: The worst side effect I canthink of is your DHCP lease would not be realesed...  Though I can't speek to the wifi side of things.
[16:49] <craig_freenode> Noni upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 ?
[16:50] <LjL> wensleydale: i think you can even skip the ifconfig. "safe" removal is to make sure data has been written to flash storage, and no operation is going on during the removal. wifi cards have no need for that.
[16:50] <chili555> jon5000, just a sec and i will give you a link...
[16:50] <Noni> Craig>no.. clean install of 9.10.. it then did an update.. and now wont boot properly
[16:50] <cheako> wensleydale: "dhclient -r wlan#" should take care of all that.
[16:51] <craig_freenode> did you add repos ?
[16:51] <mefuntee> hello all
[16:51] <wensleydale> OK thank you LjL.
[16:51] <osotogari> adapa_ -  ill try it
[16:51] <wensleydale> cheako, what is a DHCP lease?
[16:51] <cheako> wensleydale: LjL is correct, you can just pull the card.
[16:51] <Noni> Not sure.. im noob... It had everything selected by default
[16:52] <mefuntee> pls i just started my system and the is no sound, i have checked the soound preference and it says dummy output, wht do i do?
[16:52] <wensleydale> OK, thankyou cheako and LjL Bye :-)
[16:52] <cheako> wensleydale: It's vary old, the next evolution of Bootp.  the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is the means by witch most computers join a network.
[16:52] <craig_freenode> ah then there should be no problem , wont boot meaning ? are u multibooting it with another os , does grub load?
[16:53] <MilitantPotato> Noni: If you hit escape when it says "loading grub" you can choose an older kernel, if that lets you boot, uninstall the latest one
[16:53] <cheako> I'm looking for 3D acceleration for my RV670, using the Ubuntu xor-edgers ppd.
[16:54] <mefuntee> pls i just started my system and there is no sound, i have checked the sound preference and it says dummy output, wht do i do?
[16:54] <cheako> Is there any where I can go to get help with this?
[16:54] <craig_freenode> militantpotato , doesnt grub list all kernels , unless menulst has been edited?
[16:54] <ori> shumpil: hey, i got sound on amarok, and now my internet doesn't have sound. Looks like u were right. Do u know how to get sound back on google chrome?
[16:54] <cheako> mefuntee: pastebin lspci output.
[16:55] <MilitantPotato> craig_freenode: If you're dual-booting, yes, if not, no
[16:55] <mtrg> which flash plugin would you recommend? (adobe flash / swfdec / gnash )
[16:55] <Noni> No multi booting... Currently on a screen which at the very top says GNU GRUB version 1.97~beta4.. with option below for me to highlight one and press enter.. tried it but wont boot get errors.. Options are Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-generic and recovery mode
[16:55] <Belloto> hello, I am trying to configure Apache server access log; I understand it should not be logging by default: I am looking into /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and I do not find any "CustomLog " lines ... but for some reason my server is already logging into /var/log/apache2/ ... is this normal?
[16:55] <xangua> mtrg: if you want all flash videos/animations to work...adobe flash
[16:55] <trism> mtrg: you should probably go with flashplugin-installer (adobe) unless you have a good reason not to
[16:55] <cheako> mtrg: They all suck IMHO, but flash after the install seams to work the best.
[16:56] <MilitantPotato> Noni: did you notice what the errors said?
[16:56] <the_hydra> Belloto, yes
[16:56] <Noni> I try it now and let you know..
[16:56] <craig_freenode> mtrg , gnash
[16:56] <mtrg> craig_freenode: why
[16:56] <craig_freenode> mtrg , coz it works
[16:57] <mtrg> craig_freenode: adobe's work too?
[16:57] <StanManCan> I wrote a really little backup script for my server. It's two lines, one for the backup, the second just echo "backup successful $(date)" > home/myuser/logs/backup.log, if I run it as sudo then it works, without sudo it won't write to the backup log. This would be fine "normally" excepting that I'm adding it as a cron job,
[16:57] <the_hydra> Belloto, see something like ErrorLog logs/error_log?
[16:57] <cheako> Yes, my vote is for gnash also...  please help improve it with us.
[16:57] <mtrg> alright, will go with gnash -- at least helping improving it
[16:57] <craig_freenode> mtrg , try gnash and you wont complain :P
[16:58] <EBC99> Hello again
[16:58] <mtrg> if it sucks, i  still have the choice ;)
[16:58] <chili555> jon5000, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1419368&highlight=4318  See post #6. I might know that guy!
[16:58] <craig_freenode> ;)
[16:58] <cheako> StanManCan: You can add this to /etc/cron.daily and have it always run as root.
[16:58] <EBC99> Hello??
[16:58] <cheako> EBC99: Hi!!
[16:58] <MilitantPotato> running locate home | grep ureadahead lists '/var/lib/ureadahead/home.pack'  but there's nothing in the folder.  Is this a file system error or what?
[16:58] <mtrg> how to cancel snap-to-grid for windows in xubuntu?
[16:58] <EBC99> How are you??
[16:59] <mtrg> oh got it. nvm
[16:59] <StanManCan> cheako: I don't have any /etc/cron.daily
[16:59] <cheako> EBC99: I'm fine, but I can't get 3D acceleration.
[16:59] <EBC99> xDDD
[16:59] <craig_freenode> right so is there a teamviewer alternative for ubuntu and windows?
[16:59] <cheako> StanManCan: Use sudo cronttab -e
[16:59] <todd_> Hello, does anyone know if there is a program that i can use on ubuntu to download music? A limewire for linux so to speak.
[17:00] <Azelphur> !vnc | craig_freenode

[17:00] <rdz1> so gemein

[17:00] <EBC99> cheako:Do you speak spanish?
[17:00] <Belloto> the_hydra, yes I have a line "ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log" ... but I meant "access.log"
[17:00] <mefuntee> cheako: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/uHcYdqmk
[17:00] <StanManCan> cheako: yea, that brings up what I had before, will anything in there automatically be ran as root?
[17:01] <mtrg> I have no idea why linux mint has a horrible OpenGL issues. I don't see the issues with Ubuntu
[17:01] <craig_freenode> ubottu ,, freenx works with windows too?
[17:01] <mtrg> I just updated to Xubuntu 9.10 -- great work. F*** Vista.
[17:01] <the_hydra> Belloto, or CustomLog logs/access_log combined?
[17:01] <Noni> Militant> Selecting Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-19-generic just gives me a blank screens but booting Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-19-generic (recovery mode) gives me errors.. the last error is No init found. Try passing init= bootarg and leaves me with a promt (initramfs?
[17:01] <ori> Can someone help? my Amarok didn't have sound. Someone got my sound working in Amarok, and then, in Google chrome it stopped working. Is there anyway to have sound in both?
[17:02] <todd_> does anyone know of a program like limewire for linux???
[17:02] <StanManCan> cheako: Ohhh, cron.daily is a directory. Will that mean any script in that directory will be ran once a day as root? How would you set what time it runs at?
[17:02] <petsounds> todd_, frostwire

[17:02] <cheako> EBC99: Sorry, just English.
[17:02] <todd_> petsounds: thanks, ill check it out.
[17:02] <craig_freenode> ori , do u have flash installed?
[17:02] <cheako> StanManCan: Correct.
[17:02] <xangua> todd_: yes......limeware
[17:03] <ori> craig_freenode: I'm pretty sure
[17:03] <cheako> StanManCan: and correct again.
[17:04] <StanManCan> cheako: how do you set what time it runs at?
[17:04] <craig_freenode> ori , try firefox?
[17:04] <todd_> xangua: thanks
[17:04] <StanManCan> cheako: if I run "sudo crontab -e" will everything in there run as root too?
[17:04] <Belloto> the_hydra, I do not have any lines containing "CustomLog" string (apart from a commented one, before the log formats definitions) ... that's the reason I am confused: my server should not be creating "/var/log/apache2/acces.log" files
[17:04] <ori> craig_freenode: I'd like to stick with Gchrome if its at all possible
[17:04] <craig_freenode> ori , just checking
[17:04] <ori> craig_freenode: lol no prob
[17:05] <craig_freenode> no prob being , no prob with sound in firefox ?
[17:05] <the_hydra> Belloto, or maybe that's created by default? or perhaps it's defined somewhere else?
[17:05] <cheako> StanManCan: Read man crontab.  When toy run crontab under sudo it runs as root, the default user(-u) for crontab is the current user.
[17:06] <Noni> Militant> Selecting Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-19-generic just gives me a blank screens but booting Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-19-generic (recovery mode) gives me errors.. the last error is No init found. Try passing init= bootarg and leaves me with a promt (initramfs)
[17:06] <cheako> StanManCan: However this uses root's user crontab file, not a bad thing but for this you want it at the system level.
[17:06] <Belloto> the_hydra, that's my question; I am using Apache 2.2.8, but from google I think apache2 logs should be defined at apache2.conf file ... does anyone know?
[17:06] <ori> craig_freenode: how do i check if i have flashplayer installed, or not?
[17:07] <craig_freenode> ori , try playing a video on youtube
[17:07] <craig_freenode> or metacafe which ever you like
[17:07] <ori> craig_freenode: oh yeah, the video works fine... just suddenly no audio
[17:07] <Noni> Craig_freenode: can yu help please?
[17:08] <craig_freenode> Noni sorry your q is ?
[17:08] <Noni> Craig_freenode: Militant> Selecting Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-19-generic just gives me a blank screens but booting Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-19-generic (recovery mode) gives me errors.. the last error is No init found. Try passing init= bootarg and leaves me with a promt (initramfs?
[17:08] <craig_freenode> ori , and with amrock there is sound?
[17:09] <ori> craig_freenode: yeah, but only recently. Someone here helped me get that working, and then thats what caused the internet sound to stop
[17:10] <craig_freenode> Nori , http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=689541
[17:10] <mneptok> ori: depending upon your sound chipset and the PulseAudio drivers for it, you may only be able to get sound from one app at a time.
[17:11] <sayaga> fv
[17:12] <StanManCan> cheako: Why would "echo "Backup Successful: $(date)" >> /usr/local/logs/nightly-backup.log" need to be run as root in the firrst place?
[17:12] <StanManCan> It tells me permission denied on editin the file
[17:12] <ori> mneptok: that's frustrating. Is there any way to varify that? and, if that is my case, how do i switch between the volumes of amarok, and google chrome?
[17:12] <StanManCan> it gave me the same error when i was putting it in /home/user/logs/
[17:12] <Belloto> the_hydra, in other words: how can I stop my apache2 server creating access logs?
[17:12] <alzamabar> Hi, can somebody help with aliases?
[17:12] <mneptok> StanManCan: file permissions?
[17:13] <craig_freenode> eeh ? ori that would autoswitch only 1 app at a time , if somethings playing on amarok and got your sound driver busy you cant hear another audiofile.
[17:13] <ori> craig_freenode: fair enough... how do i autoswitch?
[17:14] <MilitantPotato> can someone pastebin thier /etc/default/grub please
[17:14] <craig_freenode> ori , you dont need to stop amarok , and play youtube
[17:14] <ori> craig_freenode: i DOnt need to stop amarok?
[17:15] <mneptok> ori: you need to find out if your sound chipset supports hardware mixing. most onboard chips do not.
[17:15] <craig_freenode> you need to stop amarok.
[17:15] <ori> mneptok: how?
[17:15] <alzamabar> MilitantPotato: http://pastebin.com/7zpzi02d
[17:15] <mneptok> ori: lspci -vvv

[17:17] <mneptok> ori: well, i have a choice. help you with every step of basic research into audio hardware, or go with my wife to the store. she's waiting. she's warm beside me in bed at night. you aren't, and so you lose. ;)

[17:27] <craig_freenode> MilitantPotato , could you name the daemons that you would disable using bum?
[17:27] <lynxgeeknyc> DarkSector: How do u you have it installed? LAMP, Package Manager or Stand Alone Apache2/PHP?
[17:27] <DarkSector> lynxgeeknyc, LAMP
[17:27] <craig_freenode> Noni , need more info ,
[17:27] <Aquai> hi there, anyone able to give me a quik hand regarding screen res
[17:28] <lars_> Everytime I start up Empathy it ask for access to the standard keyring. Is it possible to open the keyring automatically upon system startup?
[17:28] <lynxgeeknyc> DarkSector: hmm.  that would explain it..  Lamp gets tricky
[17:28] <HonkingRedPanda> guntbert: What exactly is that btw, someone told me about it earlier and I came to look it up :P
[17:28] <Noni> craig_freenode: what info do you need?
[17:28] <craig_freenode> error logs
[17:28] <Noni> How do I get them?
[17:28] <DarkSector> lynxgeeknyc: uh oh..ok then what's the solution, remove it and re install standalone packages ?
[17:29] <guntbert> HonkingRedPanda: a virtualization software - to run virtual machines
[17:29] <MilitantPotato> craig_freenode: sambad, winbind, blockcontrol, cupsd, saned, rysnc, bluetooth, hddtemp, postfix
[17:29] <great_canadian> chili555 it says that broadcom B43 is activated and that "fwcutter is a tool which can extract firmware from various source files.It's written for BCM43xx driver files."  Below that one there is broadcom STA which is not activated but also in the description doesn't have a matching chipset number
[17:29] <xangua> lars_ select the option to always give acces to empathy
[17:29] <Aquai> Anyone able to help me with a resolution problem i am having on this laptop? First time user
[17:29] <ivano> ubuntu-it
[17:29] <HonkingRedPanda> guntbert: So I could run like a windows machine while running ubuntu?
[17:29] <lachouffe> does anyone know a good hex comparator for binaries files ?
[17:29] <lynxgeeknyc> DarkSector: Yeah..  Pretty Much. If you use the package manager, it's installed better with all of the packages and you can even easilly add MySQL
[17:29] <lynxgeeknyc> and phpMyAdmin
[17:29] <ivano> #ubuntu-it
[17:30] <chili555> great_canadian, is this the computer you are on now? you have ethernet connected?
[17:30] <guntbert> HonkingRedPanda: yes - if you got the license :)
[17:30] <great_canadian> yes
[17:30] <craig_freenode> Aquai , state problem
[17:30] <DarkSector> lynxgeeknyc: ok, so no command line, and no LAMP ok
[17:30] <HonkingRedPanda> guntbert: ok, that fails, I need to fix my windows installation ==.==
[17:30] <chili555> great_canadian, sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
[17:30] <Aquai> Hi craig, the screen res on this laptop is 1024x768, ubuntu is auto setting it to 1600, when i try to change it i get tearing effects and cant change it
[17:30] <MilitantPotato> Hmm, can't disable firestarter, throws an warning: Editing in run level S is not allowed!
[17:30] <MilitantPotato> Playing with rcS.d symlinks is an administration activity requiring deep knowledge of the runlevel system.
[17:31] <lynxgeeknyc> DarkSector: yeah. Try that.
[17:31] <lars_> xangua: That sounds like a plan.. but how do I do that?
[17:31] <great_canadian> chili555 i followed these instruction previously but no luck the,.. ones from anewguy  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=539208
[17:31] <guntbert> HonkingRedPanda: mind you - you can install windows in a VM regardless of keys - just running it may be problematic :-)

[17:36] <great_canadian> chilli555 last command entered sudo modprobe wl response warning about config files being ignore and a blacklist as well
[17:36] <tmukmkd> matelot it's ur theme rite?
[17:36] <xangua> matelot: maybe it needs a higuer version of one of your gtk engines installed
[17:36] <chili555> great_canadian, if wl inserted correctly, now check sudo lshw -C network. is your card enabled or disabled?
[17:36] <mtx_init> How can you tell the version of a specific package you have?

[17:39] <xangua> matelot: don't remember what the theme uses; ask the autor in #gnome-do or #docky
[17:39] <edakiri> how can it be discovered which package contains a certain group?
[17:39] <xangua> danrabbit if i remember

[17:40] <chili555> great_canadian, do you see the word disabled in lshw? if not, it shud b fine
[17:40] <VCoolio> edakiri: if you mean how to find out what package own specific files or folders, do dpkg-query -S <file/folder>
[17:40] <MilitantPotato> mefuntee: any chance you installed a modem driver?
[17:41] <Atomicpc> Is there a freenode help channel?
[17:41] <edakiri> VCoolio: thanks, but i mean which package owns an entry in /etc/group
[17:41] <edakiri> Atomicpc: #freenode
[17:41] <great_canadian> chilli555 no it looks good both list are complete and each has a different product id# and seperate irq .....nothing that says disable that I can find
[17:41] <VCoolio> edakiri: ah ok, sorry, don't know how to find that
[17:42] <Atomicpc> edakiri: Thanks. I just had my Duh moment for the day.
[17:42] <chili555> great_canadian, and does the Broadcom show as driver wl? or wl0?
[17:42] <Atomicpc> Glad to get it out of the way heh

[17:43] <noii> hi, xsane launches automatically when I power-on my scanner. Is there a way of stopping that behaviour?
[17:43] <chili555> great_canadian, lsmod | grep b43
[17:43] <edakiri> jake1: you can import keys by id.  if you were doing it using gpg it would be something like gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com
[17:44] <edakiri> jake1: if you are having problems with bad signatures, maybe it is time to solve that problem simultaneously with a distribution upgrade, unless you only have support contract for jaunty
[17:45] <luckysm1le> god dam
[17:45] <great_canadian> chilli555 what info would you like from that command it just created a five line list
[17:45] <chili555> great_canadian, just that it exists, actually
[17:45] <losher> edakiri: I don't know an *easy* way to find that. You could run a find on the entire filesystem & print all the files belonging to that group e.g. find / -group <gname> , then use dpkg -S to see which package the files came from. Tedious...
[17:45] <great_canadian> chilli555 yeah it looks like it

[17:59] <spexi> Hi! I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10 side by side. All my media etc are in ntfs disk, so I have to mount those disks if I want to access all the media. Is it possible then create a network share with that mounted media?
[18:00] <spexi> I went to system-administration-shared folders and created a share, but my roommate with also ubuntu 9.10 cannot access it
[18:00] <spexi> he sees it, but mounting is not possible
[18:00] <Dr_Willis> spexi:  you can share ntfs filesysems - but i Think you must first have them mounted via fstab so you can set up proper permissions. and/or link the mountpoints to a shared location
[18:01] <namzezam> tmukmkd:  thanks i try
[18:01] <Dr_Willis> Soappoa:   you may have issues with  ntfs that 'auto mount on access'  but  Yes. You can share NTFS filesystmes
[18:01] <Dr_Willis> opps that was for spexi  :)
[18:01] <great_canadian> chili555 ok i just posted in the networking and wireless section my nick there is DogoDave
[18:04] <sebsebseb> _numbers: That guide says the kernel modules are included in Dapper Drake, so probably Karmic as well.  Also the page was last updated last year, so you can probably try the guide, plus the project itself is on sourceforge.
[18:05] <sebsebseb> _numbers: I think the guide might work with Karmic,  and you need to be doing it on a Mac, and I assume that's what you want to do it on.

[18:11] <the_hydra> leohartx, what problem?
[18:12] <leohartx> the_hydra : my fat32 partition vanished, when i use fsck , it give me this : Got 3014656 bytes instead of 15719952 at 16384
[18:13] <the_hydra> leohartx, standart practice...before going further...make backup image of the partition
[18:13] <leohartx> the_hydra : it also have I/O error
[18:13] <the_hydra> leohartx, use something like dd
[18:13] <the_hydra> leohartx, ok, use dd_rescue
[18:14] <dehqan> how to select lower version between 2 package ?
[18:14] <the_hydra> leohartx, you can download system rescue cd...there you will find a near complete tool arsenal for such recovery
[18:14] <leohartx> the_hydra , can that problem be fixed ?
[18:15] <the_hydra> leohartx, yes and no..depends on the situation
[18:15] <the_hydra> leohartx, but first thing first...make backup image....
[18:16] <leohartx> the_hydra : what causes this problems ?
[18:16] <tmukmkd> the_hydra how to make backup image of partition?
[18:16] <the_hydra> leohartx, could be bad sectors
[18:16] <leohartx> the_hydra : the bad news is i dont have an extra hdd
[18:16] <muffi> i want autocad in ubantu 9.10
[18:16] <the_hydra> tmukmkd, something like dd if=/dev/sda1 of=./backup.img bs=128K
[18:16] <the_hydra> leohartx, no extra machine too?
[18:17] <leohartx> the_hydra, i heard that we can make bad sectors be ignored, is it possible ?
[18:17] <leohartx> the_hydra, yes :(
[18:17] <muffi> how to install autocad in ubantu 9.10
[18:17] <the_hydra> leohartx, yeah, using "badblocks" IIRC
[18:18] <the_hydra> leohartx, but I believe your problem now is how to recover the data which sit on top of bad sectors...if there are any
[18:18] <tmukmkd> the_hydra tq for the info :D i never did it.
[18:18] <the_hydra> tmukmkd, np
[18:18] <the_hydra> tmukmkd, or pipe it to something like nc for remote backup

[18:21] <the_hydra> leohartx, just reading man page, use -c
[18:21] <the_hydra> tmukmkd, yups :)
[18:21] <the_hydra> leohartx, that;s for calling "bad block" checking
[18:22] <leohartx> the_hydra , man page of fsck ?
[18:22] <elijah> How do I access document settings in OpenOffice Writer?
[18:22] <the_hydra> leohartx, yes.... "man fsck.ext3" for example
[18:22] <elijah> I want to change the page size for a Writer document
[18:22] <VCoolio> elijah: file > page setup?
[18:22] <edakiri> edakiri: run the program "aptitude". it can do that.
[18:23] <elijah> VCoolio: That is where you would logically think it would be nbut that menu item does not exist (or anything like it)
[18:23] <edakiri> dehqan: run the program "aptitude" from a terminal. it can do that.
[18:23] <leohartx> the_hydra : i use this command, but nothing shows up : man fsck | grep "use -c"
[18:23] <carlosgaldino> hi, i'm having a problem. the same problem like this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/447602
[18:23] <carlosgaldino> anyone knows what to do?
[18:24] <the_hydra> leohartx, man fsck.ext3 | col -b | grep \-c
[18:24] <edakiri> elijah: perhaps from the menu file ->properties ?
[18:24] <the_hydra> leohartx, or better...man fsck.ext3 | col -b | grep -C 3 \-c
[18:24] <MgMt> how do i ignore ownership on a volume?
[18:24] <VCoolio> elijah: format > page > page
[18:24] <warf> whats the easiest route for setting up a virtual email server these days? about 3-4 years ago i spent at least 2 days setting one up (i believe i ended up using vpopmail/qmail); anything easier out there today? maybe just a package lol
[18:24] <elijah> edakiri: That is just metadata
[18:24] <edakiri> MgMt: only root can ignore ownership
[18:25] <elijah> VCoolio: Thanks, you just saved me a bunch of time
[18:25] <MgMt> edakiri im trying to save torrents to a partition but it says permission denied
[18:25] <leohartx> the_hydra, there's nothing
[18:26] <Royall> About every 10 minutes or so, my mouse cursor jumps to the bottom left corner of my bottom left workspace.
[18:26] <Royall> It's extremely annoying
[18:26] <carlosgaldino> hey, someone knows to stop the noise when i start playing an audio file?
[18:26] <gunji> @MgMt :- Change the attributes of directory in which u are trying to save to 777
[18:26] <edakiri> Royall: i've never seen that
[18:26] <MgMt> how do i change the attributes?
[18:26] <gunji> chmod
[18:26] <Royall> I'm just working and bam, I'm in my bottom left workspace
[18:27] <gunji> 77 are risky fr secure purpose
[18:27] <greezmunkey> Can someone point me to a link for vzaccess for linux, googled 'till I'm sick and could use a hand, tia :)
[18:27] <guntbert> gunji: 777 is almost always bad advice - at least without an extra warning
[18:27] <the_hydra> leohartx, dunno then
[18:27] <gunji> ya i gave warning fr 777
[18:27] <the_hydra> leohartx, just fire up fsck with "-c" option then
[18:27] <MgMt> gunji what would the code look like for /dev/sda2
[18:28] <leohartx> the_hydra : "-c" or "-C", which one ?
[18:28] <guntbert> MgMt: please don't do that - you will mess up a great lot in your system
[18:28] <the_hydra> leohartx, from man page, I say "-c"
[18:28] <gunji> dnt use 777 on /dev/sda2
[18:29] <MgMt> guntbert how do i make it so i can save torrents to a different partition?
[18:29] <MgMt> im getting permission denied errors
[18:29] <greezmunkey> Won't torrents save to a local directory??
[18:29] <MgMt> i dont have enough space
[18:29] <MgMt> my ubuntu partition is only 10 gigs
[18:29] <greezmunkey> ouch
[18:30] <MgMt> plus i dont wanna move the files or redownload when i reformat
[18:30] <guntbert> MgMt:  you can set the ownership of any directory to your user (but again - don't do that for a complete partition)
[18:30] <leohartx> the_hydra : -c is an invalid option
[18:30] <MgMt> the whole partition is downloads
[18:30] <greezmunkey> guntbert, is MgMt on a wubi install?
[18:30] <the_hydra> leohartx, what's your filesystem type?
[18:30] <gunji> guntbert is right , make a specific folder , but dnt set higher privelage to whole partition
[18:31] <guntbert> MgMt: you can do it with the directory where it is mounted
[18:31] <leohartx> the_hydra : mine is fat32
[18:31] <MgMt> i used pysdm to mount it on boot
[18:31] <guntbert> greezmunkey: don't know - ask him :)
[18:31] <greezmunkey> MgMt?? wubu?
[18:32] <MgMt> im using a fresh 9.10 install
[18:32] <greezmunkey> s/wubu/wubi
[18:32] <the_hydra> leohartx, ok, try "fsck.vfat -t"
[18:32] <MgMt> idk what wubi is
[18:32] <gunji> R : read 4 Write W : 2 , execute x : 1
[18:32] <mimi1> ciao
[18:32] <leohartx> the_hydra : it says : -t and -w require -a or -r, which option should i use ?
[18:33] <greezmunkey> MgMt, you built a system on 10GB, ...as a test?
[18:33] <gunji> owner group anybody is syntax ( 7 7 7)
[18:33] <MgMt> no, i have multiple partitions
[18:33] <guntbert> !it | mimi1
[18:33] <MgMt> multiple installs
[18:33] <gunji> do command chmod 700 for a particualr directory and work will be done
[18:33] <the_hydra> leohartx, not sure...try -a
[18:34] <gunji> MgMt :- use chmod 600 /dev/sda1/folder
[18:34] <gunji> safe and easy command
[18:34] <miaumeee> hello. I just installed ubuntu 9.10 but fail to boot xp from grub2 - it's showing a black screen with blinking cursor on top left corner
[18:34] <dehqan> edakiri: aptitude can comapre and select lower ? if yes what is option ?
[18:35] <VCoolio> gunji: if he's not the owner, this way he won't even be able to read it, will he? Why not chown?
[18:35] <guntbert> gunji: don't forget about chown
[18:35] <gunji> ya guntbert is right
[18:35] <leohartx> the_hydra : i see, but even with those option when using fsck.vfat, it still gives this message : Got 3014656 bytes instead of 15719952 at 16384
[18:35] <MgMt> i just did chmod 700 /dev/sda2 and now i cant make a folder
[18:35] <spudulike> is there a way to  disable an interface in /etc/network/interfaces without simply commenting the configuration out?
[18:36] <warf> MgMt that wasnt a good idea
[18:36] <MgMt> is there a way to fix that?
[18:36] <warf> better chmod 550 it
[18:36] <the_hydra> leohartx, not sure how to proceed...maybe it just said it does it best but can not fix all the problems
[18:36] <warf> and hope it works again
[18:36] <guntbert> MgMt: you want to sudo chmod mgmt /that/special/folder  - AND you were told not to do it on the partition but on a directory
[18:37] <guntbert> MgMt: wait
[18:37] <MgMt> im waiting
[18:37] <guntbert> MgMt: I mistyped - correct version you want to sudo chown mgmt /that/special/folder
[18:37] <leohartx> the_hydra, well, thank for your help
[18:38] <warf> oh i think its chmod 660 /dev/sdX#, not 550
[18:38] <VCoolio> MgMt: the default permissions for /dev/sda was probably 660, revert that
[18:38] <greezmunkey> lagged
[18:38] <spudulike> is there a way to  disable an interface in /etc/network/interfaces without simply commenting the configuration out?
[18:38] <the_hydra> leohartx, you're welcome
[18:39] <lorenzo_> #ubuntu-it
[18:39] <lorenzo_> #ubuntu-it-chat
[18:39] <MgMt> i still cant create a folder in /dev/sda2
[18:39] <guntbert> MgMt: you need a folder - don't work on the raw partition!!!
[18:40] <VCoolio> MgMt: do 'mount' and see what /dev/sda2 is mounted to; that's the folder you want to mess with; for example /media/Download
[18:40] <guntbert> VCoolio: thx for stepping in  :-)
[18:40] <MgMt> media/sda2
[18:41] <VCoolio> MgMt: now in that folder make a new folder that is going to be your user folder, so "sudo mkdir /media/sda2/Downloads" then own it by "sudo chown -R MgMt /media/sda2/Downloads
[18:41] <greezmunkey> spudulike, if you entirely remove it, then it becomes eligable for management by MN, you can then uncheck it in NM, and viola!
[18:42] <spudulike> hi greezmunkey, I am just using the command line tho
[18:42] <MgMt> it says changing ownership not permitted
[18:42] <greezmunkey> spudulike, or you could shut it down from the command line, e.g. sudu ifdown {interface}
[18:43] <greezmunkey> sudo
[18:43] <spudulike> greezmunkey, I'd like it to be auto disabled at startup
[18:43] <greezmunkey> spudulike, add the ifdown command to a script that is executed when you log in.
[18:43] <MgMt> ‎i used sudo
[18:43] <guntbert> MgMt: please copy the command you typed to the channel
[18:44] <MgMt> sudo chown -R andy /media/sda2/Downloads
[18:44] <spudulike> greezmunkey, hmm, yes, that's a good suggestion.  I just hoped there would be a way in the interfaces file
[18:44] <sadata> Can anyone tell me what file Startup Applications writes to?
[18:44] <greezmunkey> spudulike, the interfaces file is for affecting the attributes of an interface, not whether is up or down
[18:45] <guntbert> MgMt: please paste the output of ls -ld /media/sda2/Downloads
[18:45] <MgMt> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 2010-03-07 13:41 /media/sda2/Downloads
[18:46] <VCoolio> MgMt: try this "sudo chown -R andy:andy /media/sda2/Downloads
[18:46] <guntbert> VCoolio: maybe without -R ?
[18:46] <spudulike> greezmunkey, do you know what actually causes the interface to come up?
[18:46] <VCoolio> guntbert: maybe, but what will happen if the torrents create dirs there?
[18:47] <spudulike> is it just a case of letting come up and then disabling it?  There is no way to disable it bydefault?
[18:47] <greezmunkey> spudulike, in your rc scripts, I believe.
[18:47] <m_tadeu> hi all
[18:47] <VCoolio> guntbert: I rather think it's not possible to own stuff as user in a root group
[18:47] <spudulike> hmm, ok, it just seems a bit of a workaround.
[18:47] <spudulike> greezmunkey, thanks for your advice on that
[18:47] <MgMt> permission stsill denied
[18:48] <dehqan> how to compare version of 2 packages with the same name and select lower version
[18:48] <greezmunkey> spudulike, Well, yes. Do you want the interface down all of the time?
[18:48] <MgMt> it says operation not peritted
[18:48] <m_tadeu> I'm updating a system and I upgraded the nvidia driver to nvidia-glx-195...problem is that X doesn't run
[18:48] <spudulike> greezmunkey, yes
[18:48] <gunji> mozilla 3.6 is still nt out in ubuntu repo , any ideas when it will be released
[18:48] <spudulike> just one specific one
[18:48] <greezmunkey> spudulike, Can you remove the interface?
[18:48] <spudulike> no
[18:48] <spudulike> it's built in
[18:48] <sebsebseb> gunji: It won't go in the Karmic repo, it will be in the default Lucid install
[18:48] <unop> spudulike, why would you want to keep the interface config in the interfaces file tho?
[18:48] <greezmunkey> spudulike, then the workaround isn't such a workaround!
[18:49] <MgMt> would it be a problem if sda2 is mounted?
[18:49] <VCoolio> MgMt: ah, good thinking, try that
[18:49] <MgMt> unmount it?
[18:49] <guntbert> VCoolio: I assumed the folder was empty right now
[18:49] <VCoolio> MgMt: yes
[18:49] <greezmunkey> spudulike, your system is going to try to use any hardware that you have drivers for, and some that you don't. So , disable it at log in.
[18:50] <spudulike> ok greezmunkey - thank you
[18:50] <gunji> sebsebseb: Lucid release date is 29 april .
[18:50] <sebsebseb> gunji: yes
[18:50] <spudulike> bearing in mind that I only have CLI access, how do you change the keyboard layout?
[18:50] <gunji> its too late for a mozilla upgrade
[18:50] <MgMt> vcoolio it says only root can unmount
[18:50] <spudulike> is this configured in xorg.conf?
[18:51] <unop> spudulike, setxkbmap
[18:51] <VCoolio> MgMt: that's right, sudo umount /dev/blah
[18:51] <sebsebseb> gunji: well there is a ppa  for later Firefox, but  not sure of the details, and that's rather daft having to use a ppa for later Firefox in the first place, or having to install yourself in another way
[18:51] <unop> spudulike, actually no, that wouldn't work
[18:51] <sebsebseb> !firefox
[18:51] <markd> having a issue connecting to my network ive tried both of my routers here in the house and i cannot connect i know im typing in the right password but its still not working
[18:51] <gunji> sebsebseb:  dnt want a PPA install , but need 3.6 badly fr its features (spcialy a good support behind passwd protected proxy)
[18:51] <greezmunkey> spudulike, you said you have CLI only so xorg.conf shouldn't be in play. Look in your .profile file in you user home directory.
[18:51] <spudulike> will setxkbmap give a list of options ?
[18:52] <unop> spudulike, setxkbmap requires X tho
[18:52] <sebsebseb> gunji: well above is the ppa link
[18:52] <sadata> what file do autostart applications get written to (i.e. the ones specified in the Startup Applications applet)?  Thx
[18:52] <spudulike> oh, how do I do it from the CLI?
[18:52] <gunji> ya
[18:52] <gunji> so wait till 29th april :(
[18:53] <sebsebseb> gunji: really  major programs such as Firefox, and Open Office,  should come from the repo's in my opinion, and not just security updates, but actsual proper new versions,  when they come out, but nope that's not how they do things like that
[18:53] <VCoolio> gunji: find the .tar.gz, extract and run firefox from there;
[18:53] <sebsebseb> gunji: the ppa is
[18:53] <sebsebseb> gunji: well

[19:09] <ownlife> I was wondering what the difference is between compiling source or just using a deb?
[19:09] <ubuntuselur> i have a set of .xls files. how do i search for a string in all of them?
[19:09] <SoftwareExplorer> (I'm asking again in case my question got lost in the flood) When you are replying on a mailing list, are you supposed to send the reply to the mailing list only or the mailing list and the person?
[19:09] <badp> ownlife: if you compile by yourself, the package manager doesn't know about it
[19:10] <VCoolio> ownlife: it takes longer to compile; it may suit your setup better and you can specify options / features
[19:10] <ownlife> In this instance, I'm trying to run wine and wow
[19:11] <ownlife> I saw some options for compiling wine
[19:11] <lorenzo_> #ubuntu-it

[19:16] <cheako> Hello, where can I configure network interfaces?  I'm used to using /etc/network/interfaces
[19:17] <jon5000> josh, what type of computer?
[19:17] <silverwolf22> That was weird
[19:17] <gh0stn0te> hi
[19:17] <greezmunkey> cheako, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager
[19:17] <josh__> it's a frankenstein computer
[19:18] <craig> oh k... anyway, Josh... which driver version? native?
[19:18] <m_tadeu> xangua: envy worked :) thx a lot
[19:18] <silverwolf22> So, Is Wubi safe? By safe, I mean will it mess Windows Vista/make me reformat my HDD ect if something goes wrong?
[19:18] <alzamabar> Hi does anyone know how to specify a file name in an attachment file sent via metasend?
[19:18] <josh__> well i'm not really sure which driver i need
[19:18] <SoftwareExplorer> silverwolf22: It's safe.
[19:18] <josh__> i've tried a few suggestions from google
[19:18] <nhak> what is the smallest distro based on ubuntu ?
[19:18] <silverwolf22> How does Ubuntu fare with games? I only play Emulators and Steam games, Would I be good with Wine?
[19:19] <josh__> do you happen to have a link to a package that would do the trick or do you need more information?
[19:19] <SoftwareExplorer> silverwolf22: It doesn't make you reformat anything. It doesn't install a different boot loader either, and you can easily uninstall it from windows.
[19:19] <craig> need more info.... need to know the driver version and whatnot
[19:19] <adapa> silverwolf22: Steam _does_ work with wine. But you need to work at it. There are loads of emulators available.
[19:19] <josh__> where can i find that information?
[19:20] <logthis> Hello. I installed Tor/Privoxy and Vidalia in synaptic package manager. But when i put the settings into firefox the proxy wont work. help???
[19:20] <woc> Does anyone know how to connect an LCD tv to a laptop running Ubuntu via s-video?
[19:20] <Henry_BR> I'd like to know if is there one graphic interface app to edit grub... most used... any? thank you
[19:20] <craig> but the people in #ubuntu are usually much more helpful than I am... I'm not too great with wifi especially... I always go wired
[19:20] <silverwolf22> Adapa: What do you mean work with it? Also, Do I need Windows to use Wine, Or does that just run Windows apps?
[19:20] <rohithwiz23> I have an ati radeon mobility x300 on 9.10 Karmic. I can't enable desktop effects. I have tried to install ATI Catalyst center but when i try to launch it keep getting error messages.. I need help
[19:20] <craig> so I probably cant help too much anyway
[19:20] <nhak> what is the smallest distro based on ubuntu ?
[19:20] <josh__> yeah i'm using wired right now but it kinda crowds the computer room =P
[19:20] <jon5000> josh, about 1 hour ago chili5000 made a suggestion of a link for me regarding this very driver issue.  my system crapped out and cannot find it.  do you have a history of this site?
[19:20] <nhak> i mean the most lightweight distro ...
[19:20] <m_tadeu> nhak: xubuntu, I guess
[19:20] <sebsebseb> nhak: or lubuntu
[19:21] <adapa> silverwolf22: wine does not require windows, it provides the libraries you need itself. i'm using steam for source games on wine and they work, but i had to follow a lot of online how to guides. it doesn't work out of the box.
[19:21] <jon5000> josh__, , about 1 hour ago chili5000 made a suggestion of a link for me regarding this very driver issue.  my system crapped out and cannot find it.  do you have a history of this site?
[19:21] <paolo88> hi
[19:21] <sebsebseb> nhak: both of which can be installed from the offical Ubuntu repo's
[19:21] <paolo88> how i can understand how many core are unused by a bash command?
[19:21] <silverwolf22> Okay then, Thanks a bunch, I think ill try ubuntu out now :D
[19:21] <sebsebseb> nhak: well I think lubuntu can as well.  lubuntu-desktop  ,but yes xubuntu-desktop
[19:21] <paolo88> i have a remote machine, i access by ssh, i want know how many core are unused
[19:21] <josh__> well there was a suggested download of a package that would install the firmware that is needed for this card
[19:21] <craig> so heres my issue.... I can only get sound output from my headphone jack and not through my monitors internal speakers... weird, but anyone else have this happen?
[19:21] <josh__> it went through the motions, but had no effect
[19:22] <jon5000> anyone have a history of this room going back at least an hour? looking for a link chili555 (?) gave me
[19:22] <DJones> !logs | jon5000
[19:22] <sebsebseb> jon5000: your IRC client probably does logs, and there are offical channel logs
[19:22] <BluesKaj> paolo88, system monitor gui will tell you , if you're in a hurry
[19:22] <cheako> ...How can I create a bridged connection?  Using brctl, ect, ect?
[19:22] <spudulike> greezmunkey, thanks for the help earlier - most kind!
[19:22] <greezmunkey> spudulike, worked for you?
[19:23] <paolo88> BluesKaj: i have access only by ssh, no X
[19:23] <spudulike> can anyone suggest a non graphical text editor that is easier for a newbie than vi ?
[19:23] <spudulike> something I can download quickly using apt-get
[19:23] <ubuntuselur> spudulike: nano
[19:23] <sebsebseb> spudulike: vim
[19:23] <cheako> Ohh, I think I C.
[19:23] <DJones> spudulike: nano
[19:23] <greezmunkey> nano, definately
[19:23] <sebsebseb> spudulike: I think  it's called vim
[19:23] <bob__> I have messed up my wired network connection some how, my wireless connection is working ok. How can I get it back. Unbuntu found it automatically when I first installed.
[19:23] <trism> jon5000: this message? 11:58 < chili555> jon5000, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1419368&highlight=4318  See post #6. I might know that guy!
[19:24] <adapa__> spudulike: it's easy enough to learn vim, once installed just run vimtutor
[19:24] <BluesKaj> paolo88, a server ?
[19:24] <llutz> cheako: just use /e/n/interfaces, no need to use networkmanager
[19:24] <nhak> sebsebseb, thanks
[19:24] <SoftwareExplorer> spudulike: Nano is easy enough to just use instead of learn to use first. I think nano is installed by default.
[19:24] <sebsebseb> adapa__: oh didn't know about vimtutor, seems like something good to know about when it comes to Linux distros though.
[19:25] <sebsebseb> adapa__: assuming here that it's also for other distros as well
[19:25] <spudulike> for all that suggested nano - thank you - yes this is what I needed
[19:25] <jon5000> trism, thank you!
[19:25] <sebsebseb> nhak: np
[19:25] <spudulike> how do you select the menu options in nano tho?
[19:25] <paolo88> BluesKaj: a desktop, but it's the same
[19:25] <SoftwareExplorer> spudulike: most things are control + a key. It will tell you some of them at the bottom of the screen.
[19:26] <adapa__> sebsebseb: well, it is. it's provided by vim.
[19:26] <greezmunkey> spudulike, Ctrl+option ??
[19:26] <sebsebseb> adapa__: yep :)
[19:26] <alicetuttoinclus> !lista
[19:26] <spudulike> aha - fantastic - thank you SoftwareExplorer and greenwom
[19:26] <BluesKaj> paolo88, cat /proc/cpuinfo

[19:26] <spudulike> thank you greezmunkey
[19:26] <yehia> i want to copy file in some folder but it tells me that i dont have permission to copy in that folder .. how to change the permission ?
[19:26] <seanbrystone> omg if !list wasnt bad enough, now there's !lista? good god.
[19:26] <josh__> so, what would be a good place to check for more info on my broadcom prob? i don't mind busy work, but i do need to get it working asap.
[19:27] <cheako> Yes, how can I remove/replace NM?  Can I get back to using ifup/down?
[19:27]  * greezmunkey gives SoftwareExplorer a nod...
[19:27] <spudulike> that's me done for the day - thanks for being so helpful and friendly despite my easy questions!  ;-)
[19:27] <llutz> cheako: you can
[19:27] <spudulike> byee
[19:27] <SoftwareExplorer> spudulike: You're welcome.

[19:28] <paolo88> BluesKaj: i need the core used, no the core

[19:28] <josh__> would i be tarred and feathered if i asked about linux mint in here? lol
[19:28] <alicetuttoinclus> download
[19:28] <StanManCan> I have s3cmd for my backups. I made a script to that will run the sync, then  update a log saying the update was done,  when i run the script by hand it works fine, but when i add it to my crontab it doesn't do the sync, it just updates the file
[19:28] <BluesKaj> yehia, right click on the folder , properties /permissions
[19:28] <SoftwareExplorer> josh__: I don't think so. I hope we aren't like the bsd people.
[19:28] <llutz> cheako: nm should stop grabbing devices if they are configured in /e/n/interfaces. i tend to purge nm
[19:29] <guntbert> !mint | josh__ not tarred and feathered
[19:29] <BluesKaj> paolo88, cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz ... ?

[19:36] <woc> my xorg.conf is blank when it pops up.
[19:36] <mtrg> how to change language input in Xubuntu?
[19:36] <eto> nuaimat1 : 8.04 has it also
[19:36] <greezmunkey> woc, what do you mean, the file is empty?
[19:36] <eto> okay some easy fix for that?
[19:36] <Henry_BR> I've choosed encrypt my HOME when I was installing Ubuntu 9.10... Does It turn the boot slow??? How could I desable encryption???
[19:36] <nuaimat1> eto: :S then maybe it's a wrong assumption
[19:36] <sadata_> eto: are you sure it's gnome screensaver and not hardware powersave?
[19:36] <eto> can screen saver be disabled alltogether
[19:36] <eto> ?
[19:36] <woc> when I enter the code line to call it up, the file opens but contains nothing.
[19:36] <eto> sadata_ : screen goes gradually dark
[19:37] <eto> when mouse is moved it light's up instantly
[19:37] <eto> machinmes are desktops
[19:37] <eto> lights
[19:37] <eto> up
[19:37] <sadata_> try to disable screen blank in Power Options
[19:37] <greezmunkey> woc, but you have a gnome desktop?
[19:37] <woc> yes
[19:37] <BluesKaj> llutz, in  /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/examples/wpa-roam.conf , what is meant by  ' id_str ' ?
[19:38] <eto> screen blank in power options, okay i'll try that
[19:38] <eto> will report later
[19:38] <sadata_> actually ... under Preferences -> Power Management
[19:38] <bobko> hey
[19:38] <ynnoig> ciao a tutti
[19:38] <ynnoig> !list
[19:38] <llutz> BluesKaj: just an identifier for you, free-string
[19:38] <bobko> salut la  toti
[19:39] <VonVon> Hello! I'm asking this because none in the kubuntu channel is active, does anyone where in kubuntu one can define shortcutkeys?
[19:39] <eto> sadata_ : just to be clear  LCD monitors don't show signal lost message and the light up happens really quick, so i asume it's screen saver.
[19:39] <greezmunkey> woc, I'll have to do some checking here, but ask in the channel. There are guys here that are way better with X, and Gnome than am I
[19:39] <eto> these relisys are actually quite slow to get from real powersave
[19:39] <llutz> BluesKaj: you'll need it when using profiles in /e/n/interfaces
[19:40] <woc> thank you. I've done some playing around with the drivers and config last night. If anything, I may just reinstall and start from scratch.
[19:40] <greezmunkey> woc, I think you need to start at the beginning, with like xconfig, or configx (something like that) I'm unsure at this point.
[19:40] <ynnoig> ciao a tutti
[19:40] <bobko> ao coe stai ?
[19:40] <BluesKaj> llutz, I use /e/n/interfaces now for eth0 , but i haven't used that string
[19:40] <markd> how do i disable ethernet?
[19:40] <greezmunkey> woc, once you have a valid xorg.conf, then you can add the needed option.
[19:40] <bobko> ciao come stai
[19:40] <markd> i just want it to use wireless
[19:41] <ikonia> !it | bobko
[19:41] <sadata_> what are your settings under Screensaver Preferences ... maybe idle is being detected because USB ports go to sleep
[19:41] <aaRaaceLii> hello
[19:41] <ynnoig> sudo ifconfig eth0 down to disable eth0
[19:41] <aaRaaceLii> enn?

[19:41] <markd> @greemunkey did you see what i wrote in private chat
[19:42] <llutz> BluesKaj: look at //usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces   the part about mapping. there you'll need it.
[19:42] <greezmunkey> markd, I don't pm, sorry.
[19:42] <aaRaaceLii> i love ikonia
[19:42] <sadata_> Lappie: use adacious and play through JACK ... use jackeq or jackrack to do anything with audio
[19:43] <pk__> bluetooth headset paired but sound is through normal speakers...............pls help
[19:43] <markd> @greezmunkey i think for some reason its trying to use ethernet
[19:43] <adm> hi, how to install edubuntu in ubuntu ?
[19:43] <markd> @greezmunkey is eth2 wireless or ethernet?
[19:43] <cyberix> I have an ethernet card and a wi-fi card in my laptop. Occasionally I have both cable plugged in and wireless signal. Occasionally one or the other is down. How does Ubuntu juggle between the two devices?
[19:44] <Alanxd> ola
[19:44] <timyeung> adm i think you would have to do a dual boot or just replace ubuntu
[19:44] <BluesKaj> llutz, I don't have the file /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces :(
[19:44] <greezmunkey> markd, that depends, some wireless adapters will show up as eth(n)...
[19:44] <densone> cyberix, route?
[19:44] <adm> algum brasileiro pode me ajudar ?
[19:44] <blakkheim> !br > adm
[19:44] <ikonia> !br | adm
[19:44] <markd> @greezmunkey i only have eth0 and eth2
[19:44] <llutz> BluesKaj: /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz
[19:44] <timyeung> !en | alanxd
[19:44] <eto> sadata_ : keyboard is PS2
[19:45] <greezmunkey> markd, eth0 is wired, the other is probably your adapter. What type is it?
[19:45] <densone> cyberix, most likely uses the routing table to setup the default route of the interface
[19:45] <Alanxd> hello
[19:45] <Alanxd> xdç
[19:45] <markd> @greezmunkey says eth2 its a broadcom chipset
[19:45] <adm> i need help to install edubuntu in ubuntu (based addon cd)
[19:46] <sadata_> eto: ok ... if you uncheck 'activate screensaver when computer is idle' does it still blank?  maybe you need to logout and back in before setting takes effect
[19:46] <adm> i am insert a disk, but not install message appear
[19:46] <xangua> adm: install edubuntu-desktop ¿¿
[19:46] <ikonia> adm: install the package edubuntu-desktop
[19:46] <greezmunkey> markd, in a terminal, type iwconfig, and paste the result to paste.ubuntu.com
[19:46] <cyberix> densone: I think I'm having a problem with miredo failing to keep track on the situation.
[19:46] <rohithwiz23> I have an ati radeon mobility x300 on 9.10 Karmic. I can't enable desktop effects. I have tried to install ATI Catalyst center but when i try to launch it keep getting error messages.. I need help
[19:46] <Lappie> do you know if adacious supports last.fm? or another site like it such as slacker or pandora?
[19:46] <RedNifre> Hi! Ubuntu is the right OS for me, but a friend of mine has very special requirements. Do you know a good site where I can compare different distros?
[19:47] <ikonia> Lappie: look in the plugin list what it supports
[19:47] <Lappie> kk tyvm
[19:47] <ikonia> RedNifre: that's offtopic for here, but look at distrowatch.com
[19:47] <woc> does anyone know a command to reset my xorg.config?
[19:47] <sadata_> Lappie: yes, via plugin
[19:47] <densone> cyberix, what version are you using?
[19:47] <RedNifre> Thank you very much!
[19:47] <ikonia> woc: just delete it, it's dynamic anyway
[19:47] <greezmunkey> Off-Topic: Detroit rocks!
[19:47] <sadata_> Lappie: http://www.last.fm/group/Audacious
[19:47] <woc> problem is there is nothing populated in the file to begin with.
[19:47] <RedNifre> And sorry for being offtopic. *'-'*
[19:48] <cyberix> densone: 1.2.2-1
[19:48] <ikonia> greezmunkey: please don't
[19:48] <cyberix> densone: from Debian
[19:48] <ikonia> RedNifre: no problem, #ubuntu-offtopic maybe useful for you to use
[19:48] <Roasted> how do you go in to hardware restricted drvier manager in terminal? I have a driver installed that wont remove, I remember there being a way to go in and remove it in terminal.
[19:49] <ikonia> Roasted: what do you want to remove
[19:49] <markd> @greezmunkey http://paste.ubuntu.com/390551/
[19:49] <Roasted> ikonia, The Broadcom B43 driver. I need the Broadcom STA driver instead. IT won't remove the B43.
[19:49] <ikonia> Roasted: just disable it in hardware manager ?
[19:49] <Roasted> ikonia, I tried. It errors out.
[19:49] <RedNifre> ikonia: thanks, I'll check it out.
[19:49] <sadata_> use modprobe to remove
[19:49] <densone> cyberix, are you getting an error?
[19:50] <Roasted> sadata_, what would the command be? modprobe B43?
[19:50] <ikonia> Roasted: what's the error ?
[19:50] <AlienDK> I like tor
[19:50] <cyberix> densone: No. The interface just disappears.
[19:50] <Roasted> ikonia, systemerror; install archives () failed
[19:50] <sadata_> I think you need to use the -r switch (remove?)
[19:50] <markd> @greezmunkey did you get it?
[19:50] <adm> ikonia: tank you for attention
[19:50] <densone> cyberix, so you disable the interface and then traffic stop, or the interface fails?
[19:51] <ikonia> adm: no problem
[19:51] <Lappie> after i have dl'd them, they are .tgz files, how do i install??
[19:51] <cyberix> densone: I just do ifconfig and it is no longer visible
[19:51] <ikonia> Lappie: if you untar it, you'll see a file called README and one called INSTALL, read them
[19:51] <cyberix> densone: fixable by doing sudo /etc/init.d/miredo restart
[19:51] <densone> cyberix, so mirdedo is bringing the interface down?
[19:52] <Lappie> untar it?
[19:52] <ikonia> Lappie: yes, it's a gzipped tar file
[19:52] <Lappie> what is untar it? do u mean double click on it in the downloads manager?
[19:52] <sadata_> tar -zxvf yourfile.tar.gz
[19:52] <greezmunkey> markd, ok, your card is not configured, in a term, type sudo lshw -C network and paste the result
[19:52] <cyberix> densone: the interface is virtual, and created by miredo
[19:53] <densone> ahhhh
[19:53] <densone> cyberix, I see
[19:53] <cyberix> densone: and I am trying to figure out why it disappears, so I could file a bug
[19:53] <markd> l
[19:53] <markd> L
[19:54] <Oins> Hi. I have no sound at my notebook with 9.10 (9.04 worked). What could be wrong? Card is detected and aplay produce a right output.
[19:54] <madjoe> my tar -xvfz is refusing "z" flag... should I install something first?
[19:55] <markd> @greezmunkey you want the wireless adapter settngs right?
[19:55] <ikonia> madjoe: what is the name of the file you want to untar
[19:55] <madjoe> *.tar.gz
[19:55] <brjann> madjoe: you need to put the 'f' last
[19:55] <greezmunkey> markd, yes
[19:55] <guntbert> madjoe: f must be the last flag (filename)
[19:55] <D3RGPS31> Would anyone be willing to compile http://mikoandras.hu/projects/mysql_auth/mysql_auth-0.8.4.tar.gz and tell me if they get any warnings?
[19:55] <Oins> madjoe: use f as last parameter
[19:55] <madjoe> oh, it IS important how you sort your flags?
[19:56] <Lappie> i figd that out, im still trying to fig the rest, i just double click'd it and dragged the folder onto my desktop
[19:56] <madjoe> ok, guys, got it! thanks!
[19:56] <brjann> madjoe: only that one, as you're essentially saying -f <filename>
[19:56] <sadata_> z flag is not available on all unixes
[19:56] <markd> @greezmunkey the chipset is BCM34XG
[19:56] <madjoe> brjann: loud and clear! thnx!
[19:56] <ratbox> I've got a nasty issue for the ubu-junkies to solve:  I've got Karmic installed on a Toshiba Tecra M5 wtih Nvidia Quadro NVS 110M Graphics... there are nasty video artifacts with fonts, green lines on some programs, more artifacts in games like Urban Terror, and WORST of all it won't let me run a second monitor or clone the display.  The S-Video out won't work either.. nvidia-settings won't help me....  Can you guys do anything?
[19:56] <sadata_> should work on all linuxes though
[19:56] <rawDawg> is there any ubuntu cbt for beginners that is recommended?
[19:56] <greezmunkey> markd, paste sudo lshw -C netowrk
[19:57] <greezmunkey> s/netowrk/network
[19:57] <ikonia> madjoe: a.) what is the exact name of the file you're trying to untar b.) what Linux platform are you trying to do this on
[19:57] <markd> @greezmunkey i don't have the internet on that computer remember just tell me what your looking  for
[19:57] <lorenzo_> #ubuntu-it
[19:57] <lorenzo_> #ubuntu-it-chat
[19:57] <madjoe> ikonia: it's ok, "f" should be the last flag and now it works
[19:57] <markd> @greezmunkey im using b43 driver if thats what you want to know
[19:58] <Ridpojken> Question: What is the command for listing my soundcards in ALSA and their numbers. I used it yesterday but I've forgot the command ;-)
[19:58] <jon5000> how do i enable wireless on a laptop using broadcom b43
[19:58] <markd> @greezmunkey actually not im using sta wireless driver not b43
[19:58] <greezmunkey> markd, ok, what does the "configuration" line say?
[19:59] <sadata_> jon5000: http://tinyurl.com/yer5g3y
[19:59] <markd> @greezmunkey i think i know the issue im using fcutter
[19:59] <sadata_> jon5000: :)
[19:59] <greezmunkey> markd, nice to know!
[20:00] <markd> @greezmunkey driver version 5.10.91.9
[20:00] <markd> @greezmunkey so im uninstalling fcutter
[20:00] <Ridpojken> I don't want to spam but, no ideas what command i should use?
[20:01] <markd> @grezzmunkey do i have to reboot after?
[20:01] <guntbert> Ridpojken: lshw ? lspci?
[20:01] <greezmunkey> markd, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart should do it.
[20:01] <linxeh> Ridpojken: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/ALSA_device_labels
[20:01] <xig> i need a proper way to execute a (non-daemon) shell script on boottime, before X starts
[20:01] <xig> (interactive shell script)
[20:01] <llutz> xig: /etc/rc.local
[20:02] <xig> llutz: i tried that, but it didnt seem to work
[20:02] <xig> llutz: i placed /path/to/my/script || true into it
[20:02] <markd> @greezmunkey now reboot?
[20:02] <sadata_> xig: you put it before the exit line?
[20:02] <xig> sadata_: ofc
[20:03] <sadata_> :)
[20:03] <greezmunkey> markd, I am not aware that removing fwcutter requires a restart...
[20:03] <greezmunkey> markd, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart should do it.
[20:03] <Lappie> never mind i found it in the synaptic packager manager
[20:03] <markd> @greezmunkey i did both
[20:03] <markd> @greezmunkey just to be safe
[20:04] <erUSUL> xig: interactive ?
[20:04] <greezmunkey> markd, guess you're covered then :)
[20:04] <xig> erUSUL: it prompts for some keyboard input
[20:04] <markd> @greezmunkey fingers crossed
[20:04] <xig> erUSUL: and then terminates
[20:04] <greezmunkey> markd, sometimes it's just a process...
[20:05] <greezmunkey> markd, brb
[20:05] <Ridpojken> linxeh, Tnx! Then everything in the app is correctly configured. Still, I can't get it to sound. My asound.conf looks like this: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/dUAv6cAW

[20:06] <un214> how to purge nouvau driver from my system?
[20:06] <erUSUL> un214: depends on how you installed it
[20:06] <un214> automatic
[20:07] <greezmunkey> markd, back
[20:07] <erUSUL> un214: then just go to synaptic and mark the packages for complete removing(purge)
[20:07] <un214> no package by name nouvau
[20:07] <GeekSquid> rohithwiz23: I do not believe that card will work past Jaunty... I have the x200m running in jaunty without a problem though
[20:08] <Ender> can anyone tell me how to edit registry from ubuntu live?
[20:08] <crazyhorsee> did you mean nouveau
[20:08] <linxeh> Ender: ubuntu doesnt have a registry
[20:08] <madjoe> registry?
[20:08] <madjoe> lol
[20:08] <ikonia> Ender: there is no registry
[20:08] <blakkheim> i think he meant a windows registry on a hard drive
[20:08] <Ender> windows partitions registry
[20:08] <GeekSquid> Ender: windows registry? ask in ##windows
[20:08] <Ender> alright
[20:08] <linxeh> Ender: boot your windows system from a windows installation cd. it has command line tools on there to help
[20:09] <ikonia> Ender: can't do it on ubuntu, different tools
[20:09] <markd> @greezmunkey tried to restart interface and ubuntu locked up
[20:09] <linxeh> Ender: regardless, fixing windows isnt an ubuntu issue
[20:09] <Ender> thanks for the help will do
[20:09] <markd> @greezmunkey im wondering if this is because i installed using wubi?
[20:09] <Ridpojken> Ender: BartPE is a great tool!
[20:10] <greezmunkey> markd, that's how I started with U, should'nt matter. Is it locked now, did it lock on boot?
[20:11] <markd> @greezmunkey it locked when i tried to restart the wireless interface becuase it said the device wasn't ready
[20:11] <un214> there we go package was xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
[20:11] <un214> rebooting
[20:11] <RedNifre> I checked out some window managers and they all look pretty much the same to me. Why is Gnome so much slower than fluxbox/lxde/xfce ?
[20:12] <xig> llutz erUSUL it wrote a line like echo test > /testfile into it and this revealed my script gets launched. maybe stdin/stdout are not connected properly at that time?
[20:12] <greezmunkey> markd, right, my bad, restart the PC, but leave the interface alone, you need to check a couple of log files first.
[20:12] <markd> @greezmunkey ok
[20:12] <greezmunkey> markd, once it's back up, paste the contents of dmesg
[20:13] <D3RGPS31> Could someone compile http://mikoandras.hu/projects/mysql_auth/mysql_auth-0.8.4.tar.gz and tell me if they get any warnings?
[20:13] <stage2> what ubuntu offtopic channels are there? official or not
[20:13] <markd> @greezmunkey how do i run it? linux noob
[20:13] <greezmunkey> markd, in a term just type dmesg, then copy the result
[20:13] <markd> @greezmunkey lol
[20:13] <RedNifre> he means "terminal", the thing you find in "accessories"
[20:14] <markd> @greezmunkey lol
[20:14] <greezmunkey> markd, :)
[20:14] <markd> @greezmunkey DUH!!!
[20:14] <nielz> does ubuntu have a vim with python and rails support?
[20:14] <xig> how is the X server autostarted on boot? i cant find an appropriate script in /etc/rc2.d
[20:14] <markd> ok its a lot
[20:14] <nielz> or ruby rather
[20:14] <greezmunkey> markd, that's ok

[20:19] <markd> @greezmunkey so it was trying to use ndiswrapper for some reason

[20:21] <xig> aeon-ltd: how to disable? i am new to ubuntu (coming fro gentoo)
[20:21] <markd> @greezmunkey its removed
[20:21] <xig> aeon-ltd: i have no script for gdm in /etc/rc2.d
[20:21] <neodragon> nhak, if you have wine installed and configured you should be able to right-click on the yahoo executable and it should start the install process just like in windows
[20:21] <markd> #greezmunkey removed sta just to be sure now im putting it back on
[20:21] <markd> @greezmunkey cross your fingers
[20:22] <neodragon> nhak, my wife always installs the latest one when it come out
[20:22] <nhak> neodragon, and then she can use it, has no problem ?
[20:22] <greezmunkey> markd, sounds like you're there. I have to go. There's also lots of help via google. Good luck.
[20:22] <aeon-ltd> xig: is this stock ubuntu?
[20:23] <xig> aeon-ltd: yes, 9.10
[20:23] <markd> @greezmunkey YES IT WORKED
[20:23] <aeon-ltd> xig: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=349517 your question is answered here
[20:23] <ZykoticK9> xig, disable gdm info at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/boot-to-console---disable-graphical-login-gdm
[20:23] <greezmunkey> markd, go on with your bad self :)
[20:23] <xig> aeon-ltd: 21:14 < xig> how is the X server autostarted on boot? i cant find an appropriate script in /etc/rc2.d
[20:24] <markd> @greezmunkey so now we know not to use ndiswrapper with linux drivers
[20:24] <xig> thanks aeon-ltd and ZykoticK9 i will take a look
[20:24] <markd> @grezzemunkey and it froze again
[20:24] <markd> @greezmunkey im wondering if wubi disk got currputed somehow?
[20:25] <greezmunkey> markd, not necessarily. ndiswrapper is only for cards that don't have linux equivelants - sfaik
[20:25] <neodragon> nhak, wine puts an icon in the applications menu and she just clicks on it and it starts up and works flawlessly under wine
[20:25] <aeon-ltd> xig: x and gdm are started almost simultaneously by default on stock ubuntu, gdm itself is a X script/login manager
[20:25] <markd> @greezmunkey any idea how to fix a currputed wubi disk
[20:25] <nhak> neodragon,okay, thanks for the info i will try it
[20:26] <greezmunkey> markd, blow it away and reinstall?
[20:26] <kevin009> what is the name of the service that offers remote vnc connections?
[20:26] <Trek> markd: the installer is corrupted?
[20:26] <markd> @greezmunkey then i have to do this all over again
[20:26] <dehqan> how to say apt-get (or other ) not download again packages that are in /var/cache/apt/archives before ?
[20:26] <kevin009> i need to enable this through ssh because my keyboard stopped working during an *UPGRADE*
[20:26] <greezmunkey> markd, well at least you know what to do!
[20:26] <markd> @Trek no i think the virtual disk did keeps locking up
[20:26] <markd> @greezmunkey true
[20:26] <neodragon> nhak, just a tip make sure when you configure wine it is running in compatibility mode for XP
[20:26] <nhak> ok
[20:26] <markd> @greezmunkey stay away from ndiswrapper and b43
[20:27] <markd> question for chatroom
[20:27] <kevin009> i need to know what service is started when you go preferences/remote desktop and enable it
[20:27] <markd> how to fix a currputed wubi virtual disk
[20:27] <losher> dehqan: usually, apt-get won't re-download something if it is already in  /var/cache/apt/archives
[20:27] <greezmunkey> markd, you'll get it - no doubt on ndiswrapper. That's what the compatibility lists are for :)
[20:27] <greezmunkey> later
[20:28] <markd> @Trek you familar with wubi?
[20:28] <b0fh_ua> Hi there! Can somebody please help me with fixing Ubuntu 9.10? I have some strange problem with it - windows are not resizable and moveable, it is not possible to open folders (it raises an error about no application is associated with this kind of a document)
[20:28] <neodragon> nhak, oh and don't use the version of wine in the ubuntu repos. go to the www.winehg.org website and install the .deb for the latest version of wine. I thinks it is version 1.1.35 or something
[20:28] <losher> markd: I'm afraid I agree with greezmunky,  blow it away and reinstall. Wubi does seem prone to corruptions...
[20:28] <b0fh_ua> and after login cursor is in "busy" state
[20:29] <Trek> markd: not for installation, but if you've got a corrupted installer, something failed at some point
[20:29] <b0fh_ua> looks something wrong with gconf or something like this?
[20:29] <xig> aeon-ltd: thanks, i know that. but it seems that gdm or x or both are started somewhere different from the other services, like asynchronically
[20:29] <markd> @losher seems to be the consenus
[20:29] <xig> aeon-ltd: sysv-rc-conf tells me gdm isnt started in any runlevel, but the system boots into it
[20:29] <b0fh_ua> somebody please help? :)
[20:29] <un214> hmmm nice one removeing the nouveau driver resulted in a non-workign display even at boot time
[20:30] <guntbert> !upstart | xig
[20:30] <un214> so now I'm remoted in
[20:30] <nhak> neodragon, oh it's really a useful info. i'm trying with the version in the ubuntu repository and it does not work somehow :-S
[20:30] <losher> markd: it's hard to be certain, wubi also tends to be chosen by the less experienced users, so it's often hard to know for sure why it seems to go wrong so often...
[20:31] <aeon-ltd> xig: did you try the alternate method the other person gave you? his/her solution was only two lines of commands i'd reccommend you try that first, reboot see if it works

[20:32] <Thiagovfar> People, does anyone there runs a Left 4 Dead 2 dedicated server on ubuntu?
[20:32] <aeon-ltd> raj_: please don't promote pipelining massively as it puts strain on the recieving server causing problems for admins.
[20:32] <ikonia> raj_: a.) no-one asked for that, so please don't post it b.) try not to use caps in your postings
[20:32] <ikonia> raj_: please stop
[20:32] <xig> aeon-ltd: no, as i consider it dirty
[20:33] <xig> aeon-ltd: there must be a clean way and currently it seems upstart starts my services
[20:33] <un214> .qyut
[20:34] <photocopy> I'm trying to burn a DVD iso, and brasero just seems to halt on "Preparing to write" this time, and last time it gave me an unknown error... what's going on here?
[20:34] <dehqan> losher: are you sure ? but here it is going to redownload
[20:35] <losher> photocopy: brasero is notorious for being riddled with bugs unfortunately. I recommend k3b instead...
[20:35] <aeon-ltd> xig: sorry but i don't know of a tool gui/cli that can easily manage upstart even after some quick googling, i found nothing
[20:35] <photocopy> losher or Iosher, (i cant tell) thanks, ill try that.
[20:35] <b0fh_ua> anybody?
[20:35] <ikonia> b0fh_ua: anyone what ?
[20:35] <x3no> Does anyone know how to set up a mic with my creative X-Fi soundcard?  Right now it just plays the speaker output through the mic
[20:36] <x3no> like other people hear what is coming out of my speakers instead of what im saying
[20:36] <b0fh_ua> ikonia: I have some strange problem with Ubuntu 9.10 - windows are not resizable and moveable, it is not possible to open folders (it raises an error about no application is associated with this kind of a document)
[20:36] <losher> dehqan: I thought I was sure, but if you know differently...
[20:36] <ikonia> Losha: you're right
[20:36] <photocopy> losher/iosher will k3b run like crap because its a kde app or no?
[20:36] <jason_> i am trying to setup vpn through the built in option in network manager but its not available and ive installed the network-manager-vpnc but still no go
[20:37] <ikonia> b0fh_ua: that sounds a really odd problem, has it ever worked ?
[20:37] <b0fh_ua> ikonia: yes
[20:37] <b0fh_ua> it was
[20:37] <ikonia> b0fh_ua: what happened to make it stop (if you know)
[20:37] <b0fh_ua> but it just hanged for some reason
[20:37] <_root> all right that really broke my system
[20:37] <b0fh_ua> I don't know
[20:37] <xig> guntbert: could u give me a short hint about where to find the control file(s) telling upstart which services to start?
[20:37] <_root> yes I'm logged into IRC as root
[20:38] <b0fh_ua> oh, no, wine was removed from the system
[20:38] <aeon-ltd> xig: oh wait after some reading on the upstart wiki/faq it says that all 'jobs' are defined in /etc/init so i think with some editing you could solve your problem
[20:38] <ikonia> b0fh_ua: that shouldn't cause that sort of behaviour
[20:38] <Losha> photocopy: you won't notice the difference, because most of the time goes in doing i/o to the burner, which is the same whatever application you choose. The biggest downside to running k3b is the install loads a lot of libraries but unless you're short of disk space, you won't notice that either...
[20:38] <_root> I had to boot console shell from a backup kernel as nothing else worked
[20:38] <b0fh_ua> ikonia: I think so
[20:38] <b0fh_ua> but in fact it simply doesn't work
[20:38] <photocopy> losha; thanks, ill let you know if i have an issue then
[20:38] <_root> the vgaconsole driver seems to be b0rked
[20:38] <ikonia> b0fh_ua: if you open nautilus, can you browse the file system ok ?
[20:38] <guntbert> xig: just searching myself - there have been several ideas - a crude one would be to uninstall gdm completely :-)
[20:38] <madjoe> is there any application for a regular panel (Ubuntu 9.10) that can show you used RAM as a text: like "45%"?
[20:39] <aeon-ltd> madjoe: google 'conky'
[20:39] <Losha> photocopy: good luck...
[20:39] <TxMatt> NICE, that did make my browser alittle faster,thanks...
[20:39] <Losha> dehqan: it will redownload if the original download was incomplete, or if there is a newer version....
[20:40] <b0fh_ua> ikonia: when started it says 'assertion preferences_is_initialized is failed'
[20:40] <b0fh_ua> looks like gconf is dead
[20:40] <madjoe> aeon-ltd: can I put it in panel only?
[20:40] <ikonia> b0fh_ua: gconf ?
[20:40] <b0fh_ua> gnome config daemon
[20:41] <ikonia> b0fh_ua: what makes you say that's a problem though ?
[20:41] <dehqan> Losha: is it possible version to be changed in the same repository ?
[20:41] <abo-> is picasa available from the repositories?
[20:41] <ikonia> dehqan: yes
[20:41] <aeon-ltd> madjoe: no, but you can set transparency on gnome-panel to make it show up
[20:41] <ikonia> dehqan: apt-get update makes sure your source list is up to date with version info
[20:41] <waltercool> how can i know current running services?
[20:42] <ikonia> waltercool: ps -ef | more
[20:42] <b0fh_ua> ikonia: from my previous experience
[20:42] <b0fh_ua> but that's not true. it seems to be listed in processes
[20:42] <dehqan> ikonia: you mean jaunty rep package versions will be changed
[20:42] <madjoe> aeon-ltd: this seems like an overweight application for something that I need... currently I use "computertemp" on my panel and I'd like something similar for RAM
[20:42] <ikonia> dehqan: "can" change, but updated
[20:42] <Losha> dehqan: well, usually the filename changes if the version changes....
[20:42] <waltercool> ikonia, isnt that just process?
[20:42] <ikonia> waltercool: yes
[20:43] <dehqan> ikonia: Losha changed version will be in previous rep or update rep?
[20:43] <ikonia> dehqan: what are you talking about, it will be in the SAME repo if it's an update to a package
[20:43] <waltercool> ikonia, i want know current daemons
[20:43] <ikonia> waltercool: ps -ef | more shows current running processes
[20:44] <dehqan> ikonia:  Losha thanks
[20:44] <aeon-ltd> madjoe: believe me conky is insanely lightweight, btw it can do a lot more than just show ram/cpu/e.t.c google crunchbang linux and look at some of the official screenshots
[20:44] <b0fh_ua> weird
[20:45] <waltercool> ikonia, uhmm... but exists another method? Im currently using process + /var/run files
[20:45] <madjoe> aeon-ltd: yes, I've seen the screenshots.. it is lightweight for what it can do, but I need just a few lines of code for RAM usage.. nothing else
[20:45] <guntbert> xig: I tried - the renaming of gd.conf is ugly but it works whereas update-rc.d only goest through the motions
[20:45] <photocopy> losha: k3b keeps saying Analyzing medium... and then No medium information... I have a blank disc in the tray... what's going on?
[20:46] <ikonia> waltercool: /var/run files are only for a few daemons
[20:46] <pHcF> hey guys
[20:46] <pHcF> there's any way to run ubuntu binaries on my mac?
[20:46] <dani_> http://www.qk6.in
[20:46] <zongo> hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could shed some lights: Today, my NIC disappeared of my system. "lspci" did not return anything and "ifconfig -a" returned only loopback interface
[20:46] <guntbert> dani_: not here please
[20:46] <zongo> couple of hours later, the NIC was up and running without me doing anything
[20:46] <aeon-ltd> zongo: have you made recent changes to your BIOS?
[20:47] <zongo> yep
[20:47] <photocopy> Losha: again, ive opened up the Burn Image part of k3b and it says "Please insert an empty DVD or Blu-Ray medium"
[20:47] <zongo> i upgraded my bios
[20:47] <Losha> photocopy: that's weird, sounds like a hardware issue. Reboot the system, making sure it powers off so you get a full hardware reset...
[20:47] <daevski> Hey all, I have a Coby mp3 player and have tried to research how to get it to work. I've also troubleshot already, so I'm just looking for some extra guidance getting it working (if we can).
[20:47] <photocopy> Losha: okay, and just so I know what to try after, if it does the same thing still, then what?
[20:47] <zongo> but i rebooted a couple of times and run my machine for a couple of days
[20:47] <zongo> after upgrading the bios
[20:48] <aeon-ltd> zongo: did the network card show up after the upgrade?
[20:48] <Losha> photocopy: then I guess we try using CLI commands to see if your hardware is responding correctly. Worse case, your burner is kaput...
[20:48] <zongo> yep aenon-ltd
[20:48] <Thiagovfar> I'm experiencing performance issues while running a server (Left 4 Dead 2 dedicated server, for instance) via tmux (The same problem raises with screen and dtach too). Does anyone have a clue about what would be causing it?
[20:48] <photocopy> Losha; that would be retarded, i hardly ever burn or even read cds in this drive. i'll be back in a second
[20:48] <aeon-ltd> zongo: does it work in other OSes?
[20:49] <zongo> it would not work in arch
[20:49] <aeon-ltd> zongo: any other OSes you could try?
[20:49] <zongo> I have just tried Arch though
[20:49] <zongo> i dont have other Oses handy
[20:50] <seyfarth> Hey guys, I have 9.10 and dual monitors. How can I have my wallpaper not center between the two monitors?
[20:50] <zongo> do you have any idea aenon-ltd ?
[20:50] <aeon-ltd> zongo: are you now running a clean install of ubuntu?
[20:50] <zongo> yes I am
[20:50] <zongo> fresh install
[20:50] <zongo> reformatted the drive
[20:50] <zongo> changed my partitions as well
[20:51] <aeon-ltd> zongo: it could have been a kernel update you didn't notice that dropped the module for your network card?
[20:51] <zongo> it is a complete mistery really...
[20:51] <madjoe> how to sort processes by their memory usage (RES)? top -???
[20:51] <jason_> i am trying to setup vpn through the built in option in network manager but its not available and ive installed the network-manager-vpnc but still no go any ideas?
[20:51] <blakkheim> madjoe: install htop, F6
[20:51] <madjoe> blakkheim: F6?
[20:51] <zongo> well when you drop the module wouldn't you see it in places such as rc.conf
[20:52] <zongo> or if you would run lspci -v, you could see it
[20:52] <zongo> at least
[20:52] <GeneralSpecific> lol
[20:52] <madjoe> blakkheim: is F6 a default shortcut for it's GUI?
[20:52] <GeneralSpecific> Flood test...
[20:52] <aeon-ltd> zongo: no, if a new kernel was released that no longer supported youir card?
[20:52] <zongo> but that was not the case

[20:52] <madjoe> blakkheim: ok, thanks
[20:53] <zongo> the module then can vanish of the grid
[20:53] <neezer> can you forward the same port to two different IP addresses?
[20:53] <madjoe> blakkheim: amazing! thanx! :)
[20:53] <Losha> zongo: I would expect messages in dmesg if the NIC hardware went off-line. Are there any?
[20:53] <photocopy> Losha: it detects the DVD properly. Its offering me write speeds of 2.4x 4x 6x 8x, auto, ignore, or custom. I was told I was supposed to burn this image at 2x... when i manually set it to 2x it shows auto in the speed box. Do you know if this means it will burn at 2x or will it burn it fast?
[20:53] <zongo> well that a good point. I checked there and nothing
[20:53] <pHcF> guys, there's any way to run ubuntu binaries on my mac?
[20:53] <Losha> neezer: no. How would you know where to send which packets?
[20:53] <od3n_> was wondering how I go about installing new nvidia drivers via update manager
[20:54] <ikonia> pHcF: no
[20:54] <zongo> I could not find a way to at least comprehend what had happened
[20:54] <pHcF> ikonia: :/ ok thanks
[20:54] <aeon-ltd> pHcF: yeah you can recompile some unix applications for mac
[20:54] <Losha> photocopy: well that's progress. Choose the closest 2.4X. The main difference is that slower speed burns have fewer errors on them, that's all....
[20:54] <zongo> and then back, without  me doing anything at all
[20:54] <pHcF> aeon-ltd: i just recompiled an application
[20:54] <pHcF> but it is not working
[20:55] <zongo> well, I am going to make sure i have the module handy in case it happens again :)
[20:55] <pHcF> so, i'd like to know if there's any way to get the ubuntu binary working on mac
[20:55] <pHcF> :/
[20:55] <photocopy> Losha: okay, fair enough, I just wanted 2x cause that is what they said, the type of media needs to be burned reeeeeeally well
[20:55] <macman_>  hey all .. im trying to hardcode subs into a movie . .i know ffmpeg and mencoder won't do it .. do you know of any apps that can do this ?
[20:55] <zongo> because the same thing happened for my wifi card but I had the module, so i could just recompiled
[20:55] <neezer> Losha....I am just wondering about my torrent port. I have it going to my laptop when i'm using a cable, i am at 192.168.1.103, but when i use the wireless I'm at .104. I just want to know if I can forward the same port to both IP addresses.
[20:55] <zongo> without any issues
[20:55] <rkj> hello I seem to have run into a serious problem - error in synaptic when installing a kernel update. Now synatic won't start, instead tells me to run manually "dpkg --configure -a" but when I do I get "gzip: stdout: No space left on device" along with a lot of other failure messages. My /dev/sda3 which has 193MB allocated is full, not sure what I must do to fix it.
[20:56] <aeon-ltd> zongo: is this NIC built into the mobo?, if it is what happens if you try 'ifconfig'?
[20:56] <photocopy> ok it appears to have started burning Losha... if anything cmoes up i'll tell you
[20:56] <zongo> ah well, I would have liked to understand what really happened
[20:56] <madjoe> blakkheim: can I group those processes somehow, if I'd like to see Firefox as a single line, for example?
[20:56] <zongo> well no, when i do ifconfig i see it
[20:56] <JoshuaL> rkj, try: sudo apt-get clean, that will remove downloaded packages and clean up some spave
[20:56] <JoshuaL> space*
[20:56] <zongo> ifconfig -a yields the eth0, loopback, and wlan
[20:56] <zongo> perfect
[20:57] <JoshuaL> rkj, furthermore I suggest using gparted to make the partition bigger
[20:57] <Losha> neezer: no, you need to choose one or the other, and then change the address when you change from cable to wireless. Sorry....
[20:57] <neezer> thanks Losha
[20:57] <aeon-ltd> zongo: try 'ifconfig up' see if it connects
[20:57] <raj_> Guys i have posted a complete set of ways to FIX your sound in ubuntu 9.10 IF any of you have problems try them and SEE what works for you: here is the LINK: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8789064#post8789064
[20:57] <Losha> photocopy: sometimes k3b hangs during verification, depending on the version. Let me know...
[20:57] <zongo> well I see it now but I have no ways of connecting to a wired now.
[20:58] <aeon-ltd> raj_: stop forcing help onto people, if people needed help they would post something.
[20:58] <zongo> and it is up and running
[20:58] <StanManCan> I'm going crazy, i have a two line script, first line backs up the files, second line updates the log, if i run the script by itself it works. when in the crontab it doesn't run the backup, it JUST updates the log. Any ideas?
[20:58] <raj_> aeon-ltd:  just a suggestion ill be heading off soon
[20:58] <JoshuaL> StanManCan, and what command do you have in the crontab?
[20:58] <zongo> right now I am using a usb modem to connect
[20:58] <aeon-ltd> zongo: so it connects, but you can't see it as an interface?
[20:59] <Losha> StanManCan: paths are different when run from crontab, a common cause of problems. What is the first line of your script?
[20:59] <StanManCan> 55 15 * * * /var/local/sbin/backup
[20:59] <rkj> JoshuaL apt-get clean did not do it. Can I just change the partition size without screwing up the data on my hard drive?
[20:59] <Mehdi> Where is <sys/types.h> usually placed? I'm trying to figure out what uid_t is
[20:59] <zongo> well, I see the interface well, but the interface came back to life when i got home. At home unfortunately I have no way to connect with wire, so indeed I cannot test it for real
[21:00] <JoshuaL> rkj, i never had problems resizing. But it is recommended to make a backup before doing so
[21:00] <StanManCan> Losha: #!/bin/sh
[21:00] <zongo> but I am pretty sure it will connect to the network
[21:00] <photocopy> why is it that im overleveled, do a huge quickening chain, ending in a decent concurrence and barely damage something
[21:00] <photocopy> .... wrong chatroom... sorru
[21:00] <zongo> i will try it tomorrow
[21:00] <JoshuaL> rkj, but im not sure if you have gparted already (you probably cant install it because you dont have any space left). If you dont have it just run the livecd which has gparted on it
[21:00] <dark_soul1> okay..i understand the benefits of versioning the libraries.  and how a binary tie to a particular version.  but one thing i'm still unclear about is, when you do say a yum update, and it updates a package from version 1.0 to 1.2, and package 1.0 was needed by an application that was installed.  how does it know to go to 1.2 after the yum update?
[21:00] <Losha> StanManCan: Sorry, I meant, the 2nd line...
[21:00] <dark_soul1> r it doesnt?..and thats why yum update breaks programs?
[21:00] <ctmnz> when i installed openldap server with 'apt-get install slapd' it doesnt asked me for a password.. now .. how to login in to my phpldapadmin without that information ?
[21:00] <zongo> I really do not know what happened and really thought of a hardware fault
[21:01] <JoshuaL> StanManCan, and in that script it does all the stuff or>
[21:01] <zongo> and by moving my netbook around the card came back to life
[21:01] <StanManCan> Losha: s3cmd sync --delete-removed /var/www s3://my-bucket/www
[21:01] <rkj> JoshuaL apparently I don't
[21:01] <trism> Mehdi: /usr/include/sys/types.h (dpkg -S is useful when you need to find things like that)
[21:01] <aeon-ltd> zongo: if it frequently does this in multiple OSes then its definitly a HW problem
[21:01] <zongo> first time
[21:01] <hanasaki> is there a way to make ntpdate set the time from a server even if it says the slew is too high
[21:01] <hanasaki> ?
[21:02] <zongo> but I will test it tomorrow in order to make sure
[21:02] <Losha> StanManCan: try putting in the full path to s3cmd. Cron doesn't search paths the way regular logins do...
[21:02] <rkj> JoahuaL do you think there's any way I can delete some packages to get space freed up?
[21:02] <hanasaki> what is a good ntp client htat is a client only not a server?
[21:02] <aeon-ltd> zongo: most liekly it wasn't a HW problem, just a slight hiccup
[21:02] <StanManCan> JoshuaL: Yes, it's just two lines, and if I run it by itself by typing /usr/local/sbin/www-backup then it works, but when i add to the crontab "55 15 * * * /usr/local/sbin/www-backup it only runs the second line which updates the log, not the first line which does the actual backup
[21:02] <aeon-ltd> rkj: you can clean your cache
[21:02] <JoshuaL> rkj, try: sudo apt-get autoremove
[21:03] <zongo> would certainly hope so because I surely do not have the cash to fix it :)
[21:03] <rkj> aeon-ltd how?
[21:03] <JoshuaL> StanManCan, hmm weird, im not that good with crons and scripts sorry
[21:03] <brjann> hanasaki: you'll need to set your clock to something approximately correct before you use ntpdate
[21:03] <Losha> rkj: you can, but you may be disappointed with how much space you get back. Do you know for sure where all your space has gone?
[21:03] <seyfarth> How can I configure how Ubuntu handles wallpapers on a dual monitor setup? I don't like the cross-monitor stretch.
[21:03] <Losha> StanManCan: try putting in the full path to s3cmd. Cron doesn't search paths the way regular logins do...
[21:03] <aeon-ltd> rkj: JoshuaL just told you one method, you can also sudo apt-get clean
[21:04] <JoshuaL> aeon-ltd, he already tried the cleaning part :)
[21:04] <rkj> Losha no, I don't, and not sure how to find out
[21:04] <StanManCan> Losha: ahh, let me try that thanks
[21:04] <hanasaki> brjann:  thanks, I was afraid of that... my clock drifts and for some reason ntpd looses touch with the internet servers sometimes; then it goes to strata 16 and never finds the servers again unless I restart the deamon
[21:05] <Losha> rkj: ok. start by opening a terminal, type sudo df -h and pastebin the results to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com |
[21:05] <hanasaki> brjann:  what server do you use? npd? openntpd?
[21:05] <rkj> Losha except that 184M of the 193M is in the ./boot directory
[21:05] <madjoe> I'm looking for a panel item that can show only available RAM memory! Anyone?
[21:05] <JoshuaL> rkj, you could remove some old kernels
[21:06] <Losha> rkj: what JoshuaL said...
[21:06] <brjann> hanasaki: no, right now i'm using one of my university servers
[21:06] <JoshuaL> rkj, http://tuxtweaks.com/2009/12/remove-old-kernels-in-ubuntu/
[21:06] <JoshuaL> but be careful with that!
[21:07] <brjann> hanasaki: but if i didn't have that, i'd use my country's ntp.org pool
[21:07] <tilg> hi
[21:08] <Losha> hanasaki: I run /usr/sbin/ntpdate utcnist.colorado.edu once a day from cron to adjust my clock. That keeps it close enough without running a server....
[21:08] <hanasaki> 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org   brjann I use that... but ntp sometimes ... lost ... blahblah "removing server from pool"
[21:08] <JoshuaL> !hi | tilg
[21:08] <hanasaki> and they never get added back... eventually there are none to sync with in the pool
[21:08] <guntbert> brjann: don't use only one ntp server (even from a pool)
[21:09] <tilg> i've a problem with the packet gtk-themes-switch
[21:09] <ori> Help! What is the terminal command to download skype for ubuntu 9.10?
[21:10] <brjann> guntbert: why not?
[21:10] <tilg> for skype use ubuntu-tweak...
[21:11] <Losha> ori: um, first hit on googling "download skype for ubuntu 9.10"....
[21:11] <tilg> you can easely install skype with it
[21:11] <OerHeks> !skype
[21:11] <xangua> ori: go to skype web and download the .deb
[21:11] <Losha> hanasaki: I run /usr/sbin/ntpdate utcnist.colorado.edu once a day from cron to adjust my clock. That keeps it close enough without running a server....
[21:12] <hanasaki> thanks Losha
[21:12] <ori> xanua:  Debian Lenny?
[21:12] <imp|phone> !ekiga
[21:12] <guntbert> brjann: because every single time server may fail - the recommended way with the ntp pool is to use 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org , 1.north-america.pool.ntp.org ,...
[21:12] <tilg> Who use gtk-themes-switch ?
[21:12] <hanasaki> are there any gateways that bridge skype and ekaga to  regular telephone? free?
[21:13] <rkj> Losha I pasted the output into the pastebin
[21:13] <Losha> rkj: you need to tell us the url it gave you
[21:13] <rdz> hi all. what is the name of the 'software sources' gui programm?
[21:14] <GeekSquid> hanasaki: ekiga is regular sip asterisk is a opensource sip/and others pbx for linux
[21:14] <jetscreamer> synaptic?
[21:14] <Sorrowful> Hello guys, I was trying to add a line to /etc/security/limits.confce but I ended adding that line to /etc/security/limits.conf.. how can I remove that line from /etc/security/limits.conf?
[21:14] <morgan1911> Help! I am using ext4 for my ubuntu system partition,  i report that i have used 38 GB of total 45GB, but there is only 8 GB on the disk, shown using disk usage analyzer, what can be the problem?
[21:14] <zongo> Guys, what would be best practice in order for me to back up my ubuntu box ?
[21:14] <brjann> hanasaki: is it possible that your client is contacting the server too frequently and getting banned as a result?
[21:15] <hobbit-girl> I have a silly silly question...  how do I know if I am running a 32 or 64 bit version of ubuntu?
[21:15] <hanasaki> GeekSquid:  what does asterisk then connect to so I can call a regular landline/cell?
[21:15] <zongo> if anything happened I have a copy of it or even may be an image
[21:15] <GeekSquid> Sorrowful: gksudo gedit /etc/security/limits.conf will allow you to edit manually
[21:15] <hobbit-girl> I'm running 9.10 Karmic
[21:15] <Sorrowful> Thanks GS
[21:15] <rohithwiz23> I need help getting ati radeon mobility x300 working... i cant get desktop effects working??.. Help Please
[21:16] <guntbert> hobbit-girl: paste the output of uname -a
[21:16] <Losha> hobbit-girl: it's not so silly. open a terminal and run 'uname -a'
[21:16] <hobbit-girl> ty
[21:16] <Sorrowful> it worked thanks alot GS :)
[21:16] <JoshuaL> rkj, and did it work?
[21:17] <hobbit-girl> Linux the-rig 2.6.31-20-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 8 09:05:19 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[21:17] <hobbit-girl> thats what I got....    is that 64 bit?
[21:17] <GeekSquid> hanasaki: trying to understand... asterisk uses a modem to connect to the landline, skype(paid - it is called skypeout) will allow land line calling, and again for ekiga you will need a sip provider to trunk to
[21:17] <guntbert> hobbit-girl: i686 means 32bit
[21:17] <hobbit-girl> okay..  I didn't know... I'm very very new to all of this
[21:17] <kaolbrec> hobbit-girl, x68_64 would be 64 bit
[21:17] <rkj> Losha, JoshuaL is this it? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/WSTfNzse
[21:17] <GeekSquid> hanasaki: are you in the U.S.A.?
[21:17] <kaolbrec> hobbit-girl, don't worry, it can be confusing
[21:18] <[mors]> hello
[21:18] <hanasaki> yes GeekSquid
[21:18] <morgan1911> Does anybody know? I am using ext4 for my ubuntu system partition,  i report that i have used 38 GB of total 45GB, but there is only 8 GB on the disk, shown using disk usage analyzer, what can be the problem?
[21:18] <[mors]> my web cam seems to be properly detected but it is not mapped to /dev/video0. Any clues ?
[21:18] <hobbit-girl> ty so much..   I'll pop in later if I have another question
[21:18] <rkj> JoshuaL i am checking out the link you sent - I have 11 kernel versions listed
[21:18] <kaolbrec> hobbit-girl, oops.. I meant x86_64
[21:18] <GeekSquid> hanasaki: if you get a skypein number you can use googlevoice to make free calls to us/canada and have it dial you @ your skypein number and call out via gv
[21:19] <Losha> rkj: yes, that's it. As you see, you /boot partition is full. Now do 'ls -l /boot' and pastebin the output
[21:19] <brjann> morgan1911: it's possible the other 30 GB is in a place your user doesn't have permission to read
[21:19] <JoshuaL> Losha, is it me or dont i see the /home partition listed. does that mean his home is on the same partition as his /
[21:19] <JoshuaL> ?
[21:20] <john> trying to get usb tv tuner startech working karmic
[21:20] <hanasaki> GeekSquid:  thanks... have a URL for that?  I thought they didn't work with skype?
[21:20] <_root> fixed: apt-get autoremove
[21:20] <Losha> JoshuaL: yes, his /home is in his root partition, not recommended, but not the cause of his problem either...
[21:20] <mbrochh> hmm... i created some .html files using wing3.2. when I open these in windows7 editor it looks very screwed... when opening it under windows i tried all 4 character encodings but the file always has no wordwrap
[21:20] <morgan1911> brjann> smart, il try baobab as su
[21:21] <Martin3> :D
[21:21] <JoshuaL> Losha, ok, and i see :)
[21:21] <neezer> how do I run a script? I have it in my home folder.
[21:21] <brjann> morgan1911: please use gksudo if you're running a graphical program as root :)
[21:21] <mbrochh> i opened the file with ubuntu editor and made sure that utf-8 is selected when saving. still when i open it with windows editor it looks weird...
[21:21] <LinuxGuy2009> When is Beta 1 gonna be released and is it expected to have all features and changes incorporated into it by then so I can start bug checking on my hardware?
[21:21] <rkj> Losha, JoshuaL ok, here it is: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/QLpUxyK2
[21:21] <Losha> morgan: open a terminal, type 'sudo df -h' and paste the output to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com
[21:21] <knxville> neezer, tried ./ or sh filename
[21:21] <guntbert> !lucid | LinuxGuy2009
[21:21] <Gateway`> neezer, ./scriptname
[21:22] <Losha> morgan1911: open a terminal, type 'sudo df -h' and paste the output to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com
[21:22] <LinuxGuy2009> guntbert: Thanks that was no help at all. Good job.
[21:22] <neezer> Thanks knxville and Gateway.
[21:22] <rohithwiz23> I need help getting ati radeon mobility x300 working on Ubuntu 9.10... i cant get desktop effects working??.. Help Please
[21:22] <Losha> LinuxGuy2009: please keep it civil if possible...
[21:22] <trism> LinuxGuy2009: according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule March 18
[21:23] <rkj> Losha, JoshuaL so what I need to do is sudo apt-get remove <old kernal packages> - right?
[21:24] <supercom32> Has anyone used "Autokey" before?
[21:24] <GeekSquid> hanasaki: works with skype if you have skypein, google calls you @ skypein # and then calls your party http://voice.google.com (request a line - takes about a week -requires google account)  skypein $60 per year http://www.skype.com/intl/en/allfeatures/onlinenumber/
[21:24] <JoshuaL> rkj, i never do it that way (i use ubuntu-tweak) but sure give it a shot :)
[21:24] <JoshuaL> dont remove the current kernel :P
[21:24] <rkj> Losha, JoshuaL and I could do that in synaptic package manager, if only I can get it to run?
[21:24] <tag> In 64bit ubuntu (9.10)  the 64bit shockwave flash plugin is crashing firefox 3.5.
[21:25] <tag> Anyone know of a fix for that?
[21:25] <Losha> rkj: see all those vmlinuz files? Those are kernels and they take up lots of disk space. You only need to keep a couple. Yes, sudo apt-get remove <old kernel packages> should do the trick. To find the package name, run dpkg -S /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic
[21:25] <rkj> JoshuaL what's ubuntu-tweak?
[21:25] <seanbrystone> I goofed up my fstab now i get "Grub Loading *blinking cursor* how would i mount my hdd so i can fix fstab?
[21:26] <JoshuaL> rkj, i believe synaptic can do it too, not sure since i always use apt-get
[21:26] <supercom32> Anyone use the scripting tool Autokey before?
[21:26] <JoshuaL> rkj, ubuntu-tweak is a nice application for tweaking little things. http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
[21:27] <abe3k> hi guys, I want to make a shell script that runs multiple instancesof a process and get the pid of the process when it starts\
[21:28] <morgan1911> Losha> submitted it as morgan1911
[21:28] <JimmyNeutron> Is there a setting in Evolution so that when I delete an email from Evolution it also deletes the email from Hotmail/Yahoo/Gmail/etc also?
[21:28] <Losha> morgan1911: it should have given you a url. What is the url?
[21:28] <jason_> I downloaded ubuntu 10.04 alpha just to try it out but was wondering if I update through the update manager when 10.04 becomes stable will that work or do i need to reinstall with the stable version of 10.04?
[21:29] <rohithwiz23> I need help getting ati radeon mobility x300 working on Ubuntu 9.10... i cant get desktop effects working??.. Help Please
[21:29] <waltercool> Can ubuntu handly crypted partitions like home?
[21:29] <Losha> jason_: you need to ask that on #ubuntu+1 I think...
[21:29] <neezer> how often does auth.log get compressed? I have a script that will email me my auth.log from my server. How ofter should I be sending this email..I'm going to set up a cron job.
[21:29] <morgan1911> Losha> sorry, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/8EW1zsBn
[21:29] <brjann> abe3k: if you run e.g    sleep 10 &    the bash variable $! is filled with the pid of the process
[21:29] <kaolbrec> rohithwiz23, what shows in the System menu -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers
[21:30] <morgan1911> Losha> again, sorry, i am stupid
[21:30] <madjoe> is anyone familiar with "Gnome Do"? WinKey+SPACE doesn't work for me anymore
[21:30] <morgan1911> Losha> i am using at startupdisk
[21:30] <Losha> morgan1911: no problem, first time's the hardest. Please stand by....
[21:30] <morgan1911> Losha> il reboot
[21:30] <Johnny__> If someone has time for a newbie..Problems with sound -.-
[21:30] <rkj> Losha, JoshuaL I tried running "sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.20-16-generic" and got this message: "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem."
[21:30] <kaolbrec> !ask | Johnny__
[21:31] <abe3k> brjann : thanks alot buddy!
[21:31] <brjann> abe3k: sure thing
[21:31] <rohithwiz23> kaolbrec: It says "No propiretary drivers are in use on this system"
[21:31] <Johnny__> Ok
[21:31] <rkj> Losha, JoshuaL apparently not enough room to even remove a package!
[21:31] <Johnny__> I don't have sound at all
[21:31] <kaolbrec> rohithwiz23, are there any drivers available?
[21:31] <kaolbrec> Johnny__, is the sound on mute? ;)
[21:31] <Johnny__> Nope
[21:32] <Johnny__> Volume is turned up in alsamixer
[21:32] <rohithwiz23> kaolbrec: There is nothing in either box in the window
[21:32] <JoshuaL> rkj, you can remove those .bak files in /boot
[21:32] <Losha> rkj: Well, you can always rm a couple of the oldest vmlinuz files to get some breathing room. Just make sure you don't rm the current (running) kernel, ok?
[21:32] <vladi> hi
[21:32] <photocopy> Losha
[21:32] <ROMERAMASTER> OLA
[21:32] <Losha> photocopy: I'm here...
[21:33] <rats> exit
[21:33] <ROMERAMASTER> SOY ESPAÑOL
[21:33] <Losha> !es | ROMERAMASTER
[21:33] <vladi> Who can speak German?
[21:33] <photocopy> Losha; it worked, im not sure if the actual disc worked, I can't test that yet, but the burn was successful apparently, so this is as far as ic an go for now. thank you!
[21:33] <Losha> !de | vladi
[21:33] <ROMERAMASTER> OLA COÑO
[21:34] <kaolbrec> rohithwiz23, I would suggest using synaptic to install "xserver-xorg-video-radeon"
[21:34] <Losha> photocopy: you can check the integrity of the burn by running md5sum - < /dev/sr0 and comparing it to the md5sum from the iso file
[21:34] <kaolbrec> rohithwiz23, or alternatively, visit ATi's website
[21:34] <kaolbrec> rohithwiz23, and download their linux driver
[21:34] <rohithwiz23> kaolbrec: How do i do that (sorry im like a supter noob)
[21:35] <dAnjou> hi, the window decorations of the new theme i want to use were not updated. what can i do? (9.10 + gnome)
[21:35] <photocopy> Losha: Yeah but there could have been issues with the download or the file itself, theres no way I can tell until I get the thing running the disc. thanks a ton though! im out now.
[21:35] <Losha> photocopy: ok, good luck
[21:35] <kaolbrec> rohithwiz23, not a problem at all ;) Likely the easiest way: Click on applications, and then the last option on the menu - Software Centre
[21:35] <Epicox> Hi, can somebody heko me. I need to get work my webcam with empathy
[21:36] <knxville> I have installed ubntu 9.10 first, then i edited partitions with gparted and isntalled windows 7 on another partition, the problem is now, that I'm not offered to boot up in windows, it automatically boot up in ubuntu.
[21:36] <Losha> photocopy: a good download site will post md5sums so you can check against the original....
[21:36] <vladi> Who can install the wlancard driver on my laptop?
[21:36] <kaolbrec> rohithwiz23, when that launches, type radeon in the search bar, and you should see an "fglrx" driver listed
[21:36] <morgan1911> Losha, http://pastebin.com/v8N0Bv0Y
[21:36] <kaolbrec> rohithwiz23, actually, that's listed as ATI binary X.Org driver
[21:37] <rohithwiz23> kaolbrec: Installing...
[21:38] <knxville> I have installed ubntu 9.10 first, then i edited partitions with gparted and isntalled windows 7 on another partition, the problem is now, that I'm not offered to boot up in windows, it automatically boot up in ubuntu. how do I fix this?
[21:38] <ROMERAMASTER> OLA NI POLLAS
[21:38] <ROMERAMASTER> SOY ESPANIS
[21:38] <kaolbrec> rohithwiz23, I'm not certain whether you'll have to reboot to use the driver.
[21:38] <ROMERAMASTER> ALA MADRID
[21:38] <Losha> morgan1911: looks ok so far. What did you say the problem was?
[21:38] <ROMERAMASTER> FUERA EL CHELSEA
[21:38] <olskolirc> what is a good wiki app for x
[21:39] <Losha> slow learners in Madrid apparently...
[21:39] <rkj> Losha, JoshuaL I deleted the .bak files and then was able to run the dpkg --configure -acommand, and then an apt-get remove, also now can start synaptic package manager  - so I think my problem is solved and sure appreciate the help.
[21:39] <WoodsDog> i have an old version of ubuntu 8.04.  can i upgrade right to 9.10?
[21:39] <xangua> WoodsDog: yes
[21:39] <morgan1911> Losha: sda1 has 39GB used but there is only 6,2 GB used when checking with baobab
[21:39] <seanbrystone> Losha, so it seems :)
[21:39] <WoodsDog> xanguawhat's the best process? change sources and update?
[21:40] <morgan1911> Losha, what is taking all this space??
[21:40] <Losha> rkj: In general, you only need to keep the current kernel and one previous (to fall back to if the current one has a problem)...
[21:40] <rohithwiz23> kaolbrec: Its installed..
[21:41] <kaolbrec> rohithwiz23, try turning on desktop effects then I guess ;)
[21:41] <Losha> morgan1911: let's find out! Open a terminal and run 'sudo -i' then hit return
[21:41] <lacysinx>  i need help with my usb speakers
[21:41] <xangua> WoodsDog: then lucid lynx is released, you will see it in your update manager
[21:41] <morgan1911> Losha, go on
[21:41] <xangua> when*
[21:42] <Losha> morgan1911: now run: du -x / | sort -rn > /tmp/du.out      It will take a bit of time to complete....
[21:42] <rkj> Losha thanks I will go remove a bunch more
[21:43] <knxville> I have installed ubntu 9.10 first, then i edited partitions with gparted and isntalled windows 7 on another partition, the problem is now, that I'm not offered to boot up in windows, it automatically boot up in ubuntu. how do I fix this?
[21:43] <morgan1911> Losha, it saying, translated from swedish, can access /home/morgan/.gvfs: access denied
[21:43] <morgan1911> Losha, cant
[21:43] <rohithwiz23> kaolbrec: I clicked on Extra.. and the screen flashed a few times then I got a message the effects couldn't be enabled..
[21:43] <brjann> morgan1911: that's normal
[21:43] <Losha> morgan1911: that's ok, just let it run, the .gvfs stuff isn't important....
[21:43] <morgan1911> Losha, its finished
[21:44] <john__> you cant fix it windows7 no recognize ubuntu restore boot from w7 disc or go to linux questions .org and see article how to dual boot with xp/2000/nt and install linux/windows whenever you want
[21:44] <p0op-> Hello, i stupidly chose my old /home partition as a /usr during a reinstall, is there anyway to recover the files that are now gone?
[21:44] <kaolbrec> rohithwiz23, curses.
[21:44] <Losha> morgan1911: ok, in /tmp/du.out you now have a sorted listing of files, from largest to smallest. Pastebin the first page of it for us...
[21:44] <kaolbrec> rohithwiz23, I must confess that the limit of my powers is helping you find drivers.
[21:45] <kaolbrec> rohithwiz23, you could browse the ubuntu forums for similar issues
[21:45] <rohithwiz23> kaolbrec: All right...
[21:45] <john__> need help with usb tv tuner startech

[21:47] <dAnjou> hi, the window decorations of the new theme i want to use were not updated. what can i do? (9.10 + gnome)
[21:49] <lA__> españa
[21:49] <rohithwiz23> msg/ nick server clear
[21:49] <VCoolio> dAnjou: do they look wrong, are they not there at all, what's the issue exactly?
[21:49] <jpds> !es | lA__
[21:49] <morgan1911> Losha, any ideas?
[21:49] <dAnjou> VCoolio: they look like the ones i had before
[21:50] <madjoe> Everybody: "Gnome Do" = DO or DON'T?
[21:50] <dAnjou> madjoe: ?
[21:50] <lA__> helloo
[21:50] <VCoolio> dAnjou: maybe the theme you chose doesn't include window borders and has gtk2 only? or did you install emerald at any point in history and does that still draw the borders?
[21:50] <knxville> When starting my laptop, GRUB shows only Ubuntu and recovery, it does not show my Win7 partition, how do I change that?
[21:50] <madjoe> dAnjou: would you recomend it?
[21:51] <dAnjou> madjoe: yes, absolutetly
[21:51] <VCoolio> madjoe: yes, or try kupfer, but the idea of a launcher app is great
[21:51] <Losha> morgan1911: Actually, I'm confused. Sizes are in K, so it says you're using about 9G but the df you posted says about 39G is in use on /. I don't know why those numbers don't match up
[21:51] <dAnjou> *absolutly
[21:51] <jpds> madjoe: Yes.
[21:51] <dAnjou> VCoolio: hmmm
[21:51] <lA__> hello coolio
[21:51] <madjoe> jpds, VCoolio, dAnjou: how could I enter the preferences then?
[21:51] <morgan1911> Losha, hehe, yes thats whats confuses me to :)
[21:52] <VCoolio> madjoe: summon the little window, then right click or there is an arrow top right or something
[21:52] <madjoe> jpds, VCoolio, dAnjou: I'd like to autohide it's panel...
[21:52] <madjoe> VCoolio: what window?
[21:52] <dAnjou> madjoe: uhm, i recommend the launcher, not the dock
[21:52]  * dAnjou hates docks
[21:53] <lA__> quiero hablar con alguiennnnnnnnnnnç
[21:53] <VCoolio> madjoe: the gnome-do window but you seem to have it set to docky; not sure
[21:53] <madjoe> dAnjou: how can I remove the dock then?
[21:53] <Dunkirk> knxville: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/3NqenEHM
[21:53] <kyncani> morgan1911: tried gksudo baobab to see where disk space is taken ?
[21:53] <Losha> morgan1911: Hmm. I wonder if it's something to do with virtualboxes virtual drives....?
[21:53] <nrg__> hi, I installed windows after ubuntu so I had to recover the grub bootloader.  This partially worked but I only get the grub shell and not a boot menu
[21:53] <Dunkirk> knxville: Put that in your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[21:53] <madjoe> VCoolio: how could I set the window not the docky?
[21:53] <dAnjou> madjoe: in the preferences
[21:53] <knxville> Dunkirk, you're a hero
[21:53] <abo-> how can I change my /etc/fstab to show a friendly name for my mounted disks?
[21:53] <madjoe> dAnjou: I can't reach the preferences
[21:53] <nrg__> what should I check
[21:54] <dAnjou> madjoe: why? don't you know how to reach them?
[21:54] <Dunkirk> nrg__: You need to see if you have a /boot/grub/grub.conf.
[21:54] <madjoe> dAnjou: I just don't see the window
[21:54] <dAnjou> oh
[21:54] <Dunkirk> nrg__: Note that you can type raw grub commands into that grub shell to boot if you're desperate.
[21:54] <knxville> Dunkirk, does it have to be a specific place or?
[21:54] <nrg__> Dunkirk, : I only have menu.lst I believe
[21:55] <dAnjou> madjoe: hmm, can't help you with that, sorry
[21:55] <madjoe> dAnjou: ok, I quit the dock.. how can I properly start this?
[21:55] <nrg__> I believe that I have grub 1 and not 2
[21:55] <Dunkirk> knxville: I put mine just above the stanza for memtest.
[21:55] <madjoe> VCoolio: how to start the window? I quit the dock...
[21:55] <Dunkirk> knxville: But, no, not really.
[21:55] <morgan1911> kyncani, tryed baobab as su, but it doesent report more 9GB
[21:56] <Dunkirk> nrg__: Does it have entries in it? If you can get to the shell, but not load anything, I wonder if 1) you've specified the right root drive, or 2) you have a good menu.lst file.
[21:56] <dAnjou> madjoe: alt+f2 → 'gnome-do', then try the default short key
[21:56] <parkerlreed> Are there any programs for Windows that mimic the effect of the window shake in Ubuntu?
[21:56] <dAnjou> VCoolio: this is the theme → http://www.bisigi-project.org/?p=55&lang=en
[21:56] <morgan1911> Losha, cant se how...
[21:56] <Losha> morgan1911: well at least that agrees with results of du....
[21:56] <dAnjou> it says it has a gtk theme
[21:56] <nrg__> Dunkirk, : yes it has entries in it
[21:56] <madjoe> dAnjou: ok, I started it from my terminal window with: gnome-do & -> but the dock appeared
[21:56] <nrg__> for ubuntu
[21:57] <morgan1911> Losha, fsck doesent report anything wrong
[21:57] <nrg__> looks like it was working fine before
[21:57] <dAnjou> VCoolio: and i don't remember that i ever installed emerald
[21:57] <kyncani> morgan1911: fsck -f ?
[21:57] <kyncani> morgan1911: meant e2fsck -f ?
[21:57] <parkerlreed> Any?
[21:57] <Strika> hi
[21:57] <dAnjou> VCoolio: no, emerald is not installed
[21:57] <seanbrystone> parkerlreed, i dont think it does *Yet*, Windows and Apple always copy KDE, so give it some time, and windows will have that "window shake" that compiz has :)
[21:57] <Strika> can i dualboot w7 and ubuntu 9?
[21:57] <VCoolio> dAnjou: ok, it also has a metacity theme; in appearance, click customize, then the borders tab, try to apply them
[21:58] <morgan1911> kyncani, probably shoulndt do it when mounted, but i tried it from a startup disk
[21:58] <madjoe> dAnjou: haha.. I just had to type Preferences in the dock
[21:58] <Strika> can i dualboot w7 and ubuntu 9?
[21:58] <pishguy> hi all, who to install kde 4.4.4  on debian ?
[21:58] <madjoe> dAnjou: brilliant
[21:58] <Losha> morgan1911: some virtual drives are specially formatted with holes inside them so they don't take up space like normal files until the space is actually written. That's all I can think of...
[21:58] <morgan1911> kyncani, think it said that like 102000 block of 122000 or something sued
[21:58] <parkerlreed> Is it the windows shake that is enabled with the advanced effects? seanbrystone
[21:58] <xangua> pishguy: this is #ubuntu, not #debian
[21:58] <Steppzor> Hi. I was wondering if there is any way to install Ubuntu Server 9.10 from a USB stick.. I get to the installer but it tells me that it cant find the CD drive and id dont know how to go on from there.. if anyone can help me.. give me a PM.. thanx :=)
[21:59] <Strika> ........
[21:59] <kyncani> morgan1911: what I mean is that e2fsck won't check anything if the fs is clean but -f force checking
[21:59] <Strika> can anyone answer a simpel question plz
[21:59] <Strika> can i dualboot w7 and ubuntu 9?
[21:59] <dAnjou> VCoolio: nothing changed
[21:59] <morgan1911> kyncani, aha, yes i did a -f without anything strange reported
[22:00] <benchen70> Strika: can't see why not.
[22:00] <xangua> Strika: yes you can
[22:00] <nrg__> so do I need a grub.cfg even with grub 1.97~beta4?
[22:00] <Strika> finally!
[22:00] <Strika> thx :)
[22:00] <kyncani> Losha, morgan1911: yeah but this is not shown to the virtualized os
[22:00] <VCoolio> dAnjou: if you run "metacity --replace" in a terminal, does that change anything?
[22:00] <knxville1> Dunkirk, it gave me an error.. Now I cant remember it..
[22:00] <knxville1> Dunkirk, but something like it could not find the boot loader or something
[22:00] <madjoe> jpds, VCoolio, dAnjou: is there any cool plugin for "Gnome Do" that you would point out to me?
[22:01] <dAnjou> VCoolio: i use compiz → should i do 'compiz --replce'?
[22:01] <Losha> morgan1911: do you know how big the virtual drive in virtualbox was configured as?
[22:01] <morgan1911> Losha, kyncani perhaps its ext4 that sucks and i have to go back to ext3
[22:01] <Dunkirk> knxville1: I suppose I should have qualified this. Is Windows 7 on the first partition of the first hard drive?
[22:01] <JimmyNeutron> How come when I type in "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa", I don't see Firefox 3.6 after an update in Synaptic?
[22:01] <arand> nrg__: 1.97 == grub2
[22:02] <nrg__> oh
[22:02] <dAnjou> madjoe: Files and Folders (it's preinstalled)
[22:02] <knxville1> Dunkirk, no.. I think its the second..
[22:02] <VCoolio> dAnjou: well, metacity --replace will indeed kill compiz for the moment, but compiz may also be the issue; else install fustion-icon, run that, it will show in the systray, right click and choose gtk as window decorator
[22:02] <nrg__> so this is what happened
[22:02] <nrg__> I had grub 1 before
[22:02] <betica> ola
[22:02] <nrg__> reinstalled windows
[22:02] <morgan1911> Losha, the onlu vbox vdi of significanse is on sdb
[22:02] <dAnjou> VCoolio: i'll try
[22:02] <Losha> morgan1911: well it's possible, ext4 *is* relatively new, but I would've thought we would have heard if it reports false sizes...
[22:02] <betica> alguien k tenga tuenti?
[22:02] <nrg__> then when i restored my bootloader, I installed grub2 by mistake
[22:02] <knxville1> Dunkirk, yes its the second.. /Dev/sda2
[22:02] <Dunkirk> knxville1: OK, then the "hd(0,0)" bit should be "hd(0,1)". The first number is the hard drive, the second is the partition. Both start from zero.
[22:02] <VCoolio> dAnjou: fusion-icon I mean btw
[22:02] <xangua> betica: this is ubuntu support channel, not a chat room
[22:03] <knxville1> Dunkirk, alright mate..
[22:03] <nrg__> so how do I upgrade to grub2?
[22:03] <Dunkirk> knxville1: Roger.
[22:03] <Steppzor> Hi. I was wondering if there is any way to install Ubuntu Server 9.10 from a USB stick.. I get to the installer but it tells me that it cant find the CD drive and id dont know how to go on from there.. if anyone can help me.. give me a PM.. thanx :=)
[22:03] <nrg__> from a live cd
[22:03] <betica> kien abla en español?
[22:03] <Losha> !es | betica
[22:03] <arand> nrg__: Install grub-pc package in the installed ubuntu
[22:04] <betica> ola
[22:04] <Losha> morgan1911: sorry, I'm out of ideas...
[22:04] <betica> alguien en español?
[22:04] <morgan1911> Losha, aa, il just have to reformat! Thanks anyway for your help!
[22:04] <arand> nrg__: You can boot into ubuntu now with grub2 right?
[22:04] <nrg__> arand, : with a live cd yes
[22:05] <seanbrystone> every time i start ubuntu i get: "The application Ubuntuone-client-applet (/usr/bin/python2.6) wants access to the default keyring but it's locked.
[22:05] <nrg__> i don't know how to boot manually on the installed ubuntu though
[22:05] <arand> nrg__: but you installed grub2 from liveCD, but are stil unable to boot the installed version?
[22:05] <DrSp0ckk> Ubuntu 8/9 32/64 bit for a mails erver in a VPS?
[22:05] <nrg__> no, it goes to the grub shell
[22:06] <Steppzor> nrg__: is this happning with a fresh install of ubuntu?
[22:06] <arand> nrg__: which version of ubuntu did you have installed, and which version is the liveCD?
[22:06] <carlosgaldino> how can i configure the normal desktop effects to be the default configuration
[22:06] <nrg__> no, installed before
[22:06] <carlosgaldino> ?
[22:06] <nrg__> 9.10
[22:06] <nrg__> both
[22:06] <carlosgaldino> because every time when i turn the computer on again the none effects is displayed
[22:06] <nrg__> 9.10 is installed already
[22:06] <arand> nrg__: ok, so the installed one is upgraded from 9.04 then?
[22:07] <nrg__> yes
[22:07] <Steppzor> hmm
[22:07] <Steppzor> and you only get grub shell?
[22:07] <nrg__> upgraded so it still has grub 1
[22:07] <nrg__> well now grub 2
[22:07] <nrg__> yes
[22:07] <arand> nrg__: how did you do the installing of grub2 from the liveCD?
[22:07] <nrg__> yes
[22:07] <nrg__> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[22:08] <Steppzor> nrg__: is ubuntu dual booted with windows?
[22:08] <dAnjou> VCoolio: again, nothing
[22:08] <dAnjou> how can i be sure, that the borders in the package are the same like on the picture?
[22:09] <nrg__> Steppzor, yes
[22:09] <VCoolio> dAnjou: check the folder of the theme in /usr/share/themes or ~/.themes
[22:09] <Steppzor> ahh okey
[22:09] <seanbrystone> every time i start ubuntu i get: "The application Ubuntuone-client-applet (/usr/bin/python2.6) wants access to the default keyring but it's locked.
[22:09] <Losha> morgan1911: just as a postscript, google shows some bug reports where df gives incorrect sizes on ext4 !
[22:09]  * alessiofachechi says goodnight
[22:09] <Steppzor> i'll find the link for you to a file you need to replace and it will be fixed :P
[22:09] <nrg__> i had dual boot before
[22:10] <tvw> any idea, where ubuntu stores the MAC-addresses for network cards?
[22:10] <nrg__> but had to reinstall windows
[22:10] <arand> nrg__: nrg__ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202 would be the guide to follow.
[22:10] <VCoolio> dAnjou: if there is a metacity folder inside, it should work by now; else try the metacity --replace command and check for sensible error output; do "compiz --replace" to get back to compiz
[22:10] <nrg__> thanks
[22:11] <Losha> tvw: I thought it was somewhere on the cards themselves....
[22:11] <psz> hello all
[22:11] <tvw> Losha: yes ;-)
[22:12] <psz> testing ubuntu?
[22:12] <tvw> Losha: in the past, there was a file /etc/iftab
[22:13] <Steppzor> Hi. I was wondering if there is any way to install Ubuntu Server 9.10 from a USB stick.. I get to the installer but it tells me that it cant find the CD drive and id dont know how to go on from there.. if anyone can help me.. give me a PM.. thanx :=)
[22:13] <Oins> Hi. I have upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 and now my sound does not work anymore. Already played with alsamixer but nothing happens. Can anyone give me a hint what i could do? Hardware is detected correctly too and aplay output seems to be correct.
[22:13] <Losha> tvw: I don't recall that file. You can see the mac via the ifconfig -a command though...
[22:14] <tvw> Losha: as far as I understand, it is a list, which says, which networking card is mapped to which device.
[22:14] <dAnjou> VCoolio: there is a metacity folder and i changed to metacity and switched between some themes, but the borders are still the wrong ones
[22:15] <bribroder> afternoon everyone
[22:15] <Losha> tvw: not in any of the distros I'm familiar with, but then, there are a *lot* of distros....
[22:15] <tvw> Losha: I cloned a VM and the clone is attached to new network cards with new MAC-addresses. now networking is broken.
[22:15] <hdon> hi all. kernel 2.6.31-20 broke my NIC. what information should i include in my bug report?
[22:16] <bribroder> is anyone able to give me some info on directory structure? i'm setting up partitions for different folders and i need some guidance in sizing them, etc
[22:16] <dnsroot> !vic
[22:16] <Losha> tvw: what host/guest os ?
[22:16] <VCoolio> dAnjou: last shot, then I'm off to bed: if you do "ps -ef | grep [g]nome-settings-daemon" is that daemon running?
[22:16] <bribroder> ubuntu 9.10
[22:16] <andrew__> My sound card worked when I installed ubuntu on a clean hard disk but after adding Windows XP the sound will only work in Windows. I've tried several of the online guides and none seem to fix the problem.
[22:17] <hdon> bribroder, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[22:17] <dAnjou> max       1965     1  0 18:49 ?        00:00:06 /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon
[22:17] <tvw> Losha: I n a posting, someone fixed /etc/iftab and solved the issue for ubuntu 6.1
[22:17] <dAnjou> @ VCoolio
[22:17] <Steppzor> Is there anyone that know how to install Ubuntu Server from a USB stick?
[22:17] <seanbrystone> every time i start ubuntu i get: "The application Ubuntuone-client-applet (/usr/bin/python2.6) wants access to the default keyring but it's locked.
[22:17] <Losha> tvw: ubuntu 6.1 is older than I am...
[22:17] <VCoolio> dAnjou: ok, then I'm out of options now sorry; maybe someone else here can pick it up
[22:17] <tvw> Losha: ubuntu karmic/ubuntu karmic server
[22:17] <dAnjou> VCoolio: thanks anyway :)
[22:18] <bribroder> Thanks hdon
[22:18] <Losha> bribroder: 10G for root, swap same as or up to double the RAM (depending on RAM size), the rest for /home....
[22:19] <bribroder> So I'm creating partitions for boot, tmp, opt, usr, var, and home
[22:19] <Losha> tvw: changing the mac shouldn't matter. Have you tried just restarting networking on the guest?
[22:19]  * hdon has 4 GB RAM and 3 GB swap
[22:19] <tvw> Losha: yes, I even rebooted the machine several times.
[22:19] <hdon> bribroder, you should know that /opt is not very different from /usr/locla
[22:20] <hdon> bribroder, most of the time if something doesn't go under /usr, it will be under /usr/local, not /opt
[22:20] <Losha> bribroder: you can certainly do that, but I feel it's overkill nowadays, and just increases the likelihood of running out of space on one partition while there's plenty left on another....
[22:20] <bribroder> hdon, it's my understanding that it's installed software, and i'd like to separate that from the root
[22:21] <riahc3> hey people
[22:21] <bribroder> i've got a lot of third party apps from google and adobe air apps that have been installing in /opt
[22:21] <hdon> bribroder, well i have about a million programs installed that i compiled from source, and by default they all go under /usr/local, not /opt
[22:21] <riahc3> this is nonubuntu related but what is the biggest IRC server?
[22:21]  * hdon nods
[22:21] <riahc3> im looking for a specific topic
[22:21] <bribroder> hdon, is it possible to mount /opt and /usr to the same partition?
[22:21] <hdon> riahc3, efnet?
[22:22] <riahc3> [hdon] thanks
[22:22] <Losha> hdon: 3rd party commercial apps tend to favour /opt I've noticed....
[22:22] <hdon> bribroder, no i wasn't comparing /opt and /usr, i was comparing /opt and /usr/local
[22:22] <hdon> Losha, i have not noticed that. i have noticed they favour /usr/local
[22:22] <bribroder> losha, i've noticed this, too
[22:23] <tvw> Losha: I solved the problem in a different way: I found out, that the new network device was attached to eth1. I guess since eth0 is blocked by the old devices MAC-address. So I just modified /etc/network/interfaces.
[22:23] <seanbrystone> every time i start ubuntu i get: "The application Ubuntuone-client-applet (/usr/bin/python2.6) wants access to the default keyring but it's locked.
[22:23] <natrixnatrix89> where is /tmp located physically? Is it in the HDD?
[22:23] <hdon> bribroder, Losha: http://lists.netisland.net/archives/plug/plug-2006-01/msg00131.html
[22:23] <brjann> hdon, Losha: typically apps that fit the bin/, share/, lib/ model will install to /usr/local. applications like eclipse, which are basically an entire directory tree, usually prefer /opt
[22:23] <bribroder> losha and hdon, how much space would you allocate /var?
[22:23] <natrixnatrix89> !tmp
[22:23] <Steppzor> Is there anyone that know how to install Ubuntu Server from a USB stick?
[22:23] <hdon> bribroder, it depends on how long you want to keep your logs. a server needs a very large /var
[22:24] <natrixnatrix89> Steppzor: what is the problem?
[22:24] <natrixnatrix89> Steppzor: I've done that..
[22:24] <bribroder> let's say a few days or a week or something, i don't anticipate going through my logs that often
[22:25] <Steppzor> natrixnatrix89: Well the computer where im trying to install Ubuntu Server on dont have a CDROM drive and well.. so it dosnt detect the install files..
[22:25] <natrixnatrix89> Steppzor: are you running ubuntu now?
[22:25] <Steppzor> no
[22:26] <PratikAnand> Hi...how do I generate OLAP cubes on 9.10? Is there any tool available for it?
[22:26] <natrixnatrix89> Steppzor: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ use this to install the *.iso on the usb
[22:26] <hdon> bribroder, a gig is probably plenty for your purposes then. but i'm not sure how on ubuntu to increase the log rotation frequency
[22:27] <bribroder> thanks, hdon :)  so would you recommend i mount /usr/local and /var/logs separately, rather than all of /var and /usr?
[22:27] <natrixnatrix89> Steppzor: When it's installed you will be able to boot from that USB
[22:27] <bribroder> i've heard it's a good idea to mount /usr as read only
[22:27] <kunguz> Guys, there was this package for Ubuntu. xorg-psb . Is this still available in Ubuntu?
[22:28] <rkj> JoshuaL per your suggestion I just tried to install ubuntu-tweak but got this error message: "error: Dependency is not satisfiable: policykit-1-gnome|policykit-1-qt"
[22:28] <Steppzor> natrixnatrix89: yeah.. ive done that.. booted the stick.. im in the Ubuntu installer main menu after choosing language and stuff.. but here is the problem.. when it tries to load installer components from CD it fails cause no cd.. but USB stick..
[22:28] <JoshuaL> rkj, i can not help you with that. sorry
[22:28] <rkj> JoahuaL it looks like a useful tool
[22:29] <gburton> hi
[22:29] <kunguz> Does anyone know about xorg-psb
[22:29] <Steppzor> and when i try to mount the sda1 with the command mount -t vfat sda1 /cdrom it tells me that i cant find the directory or files or something..
[22:29] <hdon> bribroder, no, but i wouldn't recommend you have more than two partitions unless you are doing it for an important system (many users on your system, or a server) or for the experience :)
[22:29] <natrixnatrix89> Steppzor: well. Ubuntu has a wonderful tool: USB startup disk creator. When I used it, everythind went fine and I could install the server easily
[22:29] <bribroder> hdon, in this case i'm doing it for the pleasure of causing myself the trouble :)
[22:29] <gburton> ive got the most bizarre issue ive ever seen; in bash, the A key doesn't work. Every other key works in bash; every key works in every other application, including tcsh launched from bash.  Its only the combination of bash and the A key that have a problem.
[22:30] <hdon> :)
[22:30] <gburton> im running 9.04
[22:30] <hidden> xd
[22:31] <natrixnatrix89> where is /tmp/ located physically? Is it in RAM or on HDD?
[22:31] <bribroder> hdon, so should i mount /usr or /usr/local separately?
[22:31] <PratikAnand> rkj, u can try this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tweak-0-5-2-released.html
[22:31] <Steppzor> natrixnatrix89: i dont see how thats gonna help me.. cause im in the installer.. booted fomr a USB stick.. but the installer tries only to install from a CDROM drive that it cant find.. so i cant get any where now.. just navigating the menu and picking my nose
[22:31] <hidden> lol
[22:32] <grigora> hi, tried converting a VOB file to AVI using ffmpeg but got no video, just sound - ffmpeg -i VTS_01_1.VOB -f avi -vcodec mpeg4 -b 800k -g 300 -bf 2 -acodec mp2 -ab 128k demo.avi - any ideaas?
[22:33] <LADmaticCA> i want to try mpd with gmpc but I cannot get it to find my music. where should my config file be?
[22:33] <Cappy> folks, how to i find the /dev/sdX allocation of  usb stick plugged into my krmic box?
[22:33] <natrixnatrix89> Steppzor: I think the problem is in the tool you used to make that USB bootable. Because I'm sure I had completely no problems with my usb
[22:34] <htpc> enabling nvidia drivers causes my screen to become too wide and tall, cutting off the panels. i have tried changing resolutions to no avail, can't seem to fix this.
[22:34] <Steppzor> okey? so can you tell me in short how you did it?
[22:34] <tvw> Losha: I found the file ;-) /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules stores the mapping MAC-address/device.
[22:34] <natrixnatrix89> Steppzor: so you really cant get a pc with ubuntu and just use startup USB creator?
[22:34] <kunguz>  Do you guys know any distro that has a support to Intel GMA500 video card?
[22:34] <pdddy> Hi, I am having trouble getting wifi to work on ubuntu, I have run lspci and it said I am using AR922X chipset, I can connect to the network but Most of the time I don't get internet. I have a realy weak signal but with my ubuntu laptop it works fine (different card)
[22:35] <gburton> htpc: what kind of monitor do you have?
[22:35] <Steppzor> natrixnatrix89.. well then i have to reinstall regular Ubuntu on my laptop.. it crashed and i havent gotten around to fix it yet..
[22:35] <gburton> htpc: it sounds to me like a monitor issue, my dell does that until I tell it to auto-adjust
[22:35] <htpc> gburton: i'm currently connected to a 37" LCD tv with hdmi
[22:35] <JoshuaL> i have a dual boot setup, how can i make it so that it doesnt show grub unless i ask it to do so?
[22:35] <gburton> whats the resolution of the tv?
[22:36] <pdddy> cappy: in terminal run dmesg
[22:36] <natrixnatrix89> Steppzor: actually its already installed in the live cd
[22:36] <htpc> 1366x720 or something i think, gburton. i dont think it has an auto-adjust button, or at least i can't find it.
[22:36] <natrixnatrix89> Steppzor: so you dont really have to install ubuntu
[22:36] <pdddy>  Hi, I am having trouble getting wifi to work on ubuntu, I have run lspci and it said I am using AR922X chipset, I can connect to the network but Most of the time I don't get internet. I have a realy weak signal but with my ubuntu laptop it works fine (different card)
[22:36] <natrixnatrix89> just boot in the live cd and make a startup usb disk
[22:36] <brjann> !patience | pdddy
[22:36] <gburton> 1366x768 is a common one for widescreen tv's
[22:37] <pdddy> Sorry, I have searched everywhere
[22:37] <Steppzor> natrixnatrix89: ahh okey..
[22:37] <Steppzor> but what is the command for listing drives again in terminal?
[22:37] <htpc> so waht should i do, gburton?
[22:37] <gburton> htpc: have you tried different frequencies?
[22:37] <opcode> hey can anyone tell me how to automate a bunch of commands stored in a text file, but have them run through sudo with my shell enviroment variables and .zshrc executed?
[22:37] <htpc> trying that now gburton
[22:38] <eraggo> gburton: like uhm once a hour?
[22:38] <Supertanker> Besides vinagre, what are good VNC viewers for Ubuntu? tightvncviewer is awesome, but it feels a bit dated
[22:38] <gburton> eraggo: what?
[22:38] <htpc> gburton, i tried 60 and 50hz, neither worked. i'm putting my dad on, he's a bit of a noob
[22:39] <eraggo> gburton: oops wrong
[22:39] <eraggo> opcode: automating like once a hour?
[22:39] <gburton> what happens if you use 800x600 and set panning to the same?
[22:40] <bribroder> should I mount /usr and /usr/local separately?
[22:40] <bribroder> Losha or hdon?
[22:40] <htpc> Gburton, then it's crazy big. panels way off screen
[22:40] <opcode> eraggo: no, I have a list of applications stored in a text file and I need to loop over them and install each one, i just don't wnat to have to do it by hand
[22:41] <trism> Supertanker: I use xvnc4viewer, although the interface is basically the same as tightvnc but with actual scrollbars
[22:41] <brjann> opcode: a list of applications as in package names?
[22:41] <opcode> eraggo: the problem is, I can execute "sudo gem install <gemname>" by hand and it works properly, but if I put it in a script and execute it through bash, it doesn't work the same way.  it's because my .zshrc file is setting up certain envrionmental variables, and sudo froma  script seems to ignore them
[22:41] <Supertanker> trism, hmm, I'll take a looksee
[22:41] <gburton> well, it sounds like an issue with the monitor more than a gpu driver issue, although i'd have to see it to know for sure.
[22:41] <hdon> bribroder, if you're just trying to make things complicated for yourself, you may want to check out LVM and/or UnionFS
[22:42] <gburton> if you select 1366x768, what is the actual viewable area?
[22:42] <opcode> brjann: well, gem names for rubygems.  The whole point of this is taht I've got about 108 separate gem pacakges that need to be isntalled, and I can install each one by executing "sudo gem install <gem name>" from the command line, but I want to automate this so I don't ahve to keep typing it myself
[22:42] <gburton> like, from (0, 0) to (1366, 768) would be normal
[22:42] <htpc> gburton, it worked normally with the default driver before we installed nvidia drivers, fwiw
[22:42] <hdon> bribroder, LVM will allow you to do more complicated partition allocation (as well as other things) and UnionFS will allow you to do more complicated mounting (like mounting two different directories from the same filesystem at two different points)
[22:42] <opcode> but it's not as simple as writing a script to loop over the package (gem) names and install them, it doesn't seem to work that weay
[22:42] <brjann> opcode: can gem take multiple packages on the same line? you might be able to use xargs
[22:43] <abe3k> guys I made a sequence of commands that give me a pid of certain process, how to I assign the resulting number to pkill ?
[22:43] <hdon> bribroder, UnionFS will let you do something like put /usr/local and /opt on the same filesystem partition
[22:43] <hdon> bribroder, i've never done it though, only read about it
[22:43] <opcode> brjann: that's an idea, lemme see
[22:43] <eraggo> opcode: or you can make script that uses 'cat' somehow to read each line?
[22:44] <chocamo> wpa_supplicant is says it is connected, but I cannot get an ip with dhclient wlan0
[22:44] <bribroder> hdon, great info, thanks much... how much space do you think i should allocate for /usr if i mount /usr/local separately?
[22:44] <brjann> opcode: even if not, you can use the (i think) -n 1 argument to xargs to make it execute once per line
[22:44] <abe3k> heres the command sequence : ps ax | grep -v grep | grep test.py |awk '{print $1}'
[22:44] <LjL> abe3k: pkill $(ps ax | grep -v grep | grep test.py |awk '{print $1}')
[22:44] <opcode> eraggo: writing the script is not difficult, I've got one in ruby and one in bash, it's executing the line through sudo properly that's the difficulty.  Executing sudo througha  script doesn't seem to be the same as typing sudo from the command line
[22:44] <abe3k> LjL : thanks alot!
[22:45] <hdon> bribroder, well if you use LVM i think you don't have to worry about that as much because its' easy to resize the partitions and filesystems later (well, make sure you pick a filesystem that resizes easily. lvm takes care of the partitions, but i don't think it touches the filesystems)
[22:45] <opcode> brjann: so xargs sudo <whatever> should be the same as me executing sudo?
[22:45] <brjann> opcode: yep
[22:46] <Dover> hello can somebodyt help me installing linx?
[22:46] <opcode> brjann: lemme try that then
[22:46] <Dover> I have to edit a file named config.mk
[22:46] <brjann> opcode: if that doesn't work, you might try the -E option to sudo, which supposedly preserves environment variables
[22:46] <Moon_Doggy> i'm looking for a on screen keyboard, any idea
[22:46] <Moon_Doggy> s
[22:46] <brjann> opcode: but I've never used it, so I don't know
[22:47] <Dover> need to define this variables:
[22:47] <Dover> # CROSS_COMPILE is cross compiler prefix (including full path)
[22:47] <Dover> CROSS_COMPILE ?=
[22:47] <Dover> # KERNEL is the path to your kernel sources
[22:47] <Dover> KERNEL ?=
[22:47] <FloodBot4> Dover: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:48] <boehlke> Hello, may I ask a networking question here? I have a strange networking problem.
[22:48] <LjL> Moon_Doggy: i suggest typing "apt-cache search on-screen keyboard" for a start
[22:48] <Dover> anybody knows what i need put in crosss_compile ?
[22:48] <LjL> Moon_Doggy: "apt-cache search virtual keyboard" also gives useful hits
[22:49] <ddrj> does xbmc take up a lot of ram on ubuntu?
[22:50] <bribroder>  thanks for your help hdon

[22:51] <hdon> bribroder, np
[22:55] <pdddy>  Hi, I am having trouble getting wifi to work on ubuntu, I have run lspci and it said I am using AR922X chipset, I can connect to the network but Most of the time I don't get internet. I have a realy weak signal but with my ubuntu laptop it works fine (different card)
[22:56] <Cappy> folks, how to i find the /dev/sdX allocation of  usb stick plugged into my krmic box?
[22:56] <Stevethepirate> Hey, having some problems install ubuntu on an oldish server. The server has (only) SCSI drives, but Ubuntu installation and Live Cd won't pick them up (as well as gparted off live disc). Any help?
[22:57] <boehlke> I have a strange networking problem: My internet connection and most sites work, but I cannot connect to some hosts on some ports. For example, I can ping the host, but I cannot connect on port 80 (telnet ... 80). When I start a VMWare VM (Windows), the connection works (telnet ... 80 in Windows shell). After restarting my system, the connections work again!! Can anyone point me a direction to look?
[22:58] <eraggo> Cappy: check that thingy on system menu where you cna watch processes. There is tab for file systems
[22:58] <Dragoon_Jett> Could someone direct me to a guide on how to update my video card drivers
[22:58] <qetuR> hi! im trying to add this: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/source/ricotz-testing/ but i already have a version from offical repos installed
[22:58] <axiom> when I try to play sound in boxee (pandora app), I get an error 'failed to initialize audio'.  Log shows 'alsa error:Device or resource busy'. I've checked, and nothing else is using alsa.  Why would I get this error (and how can I make sound work?)
[22:58] <opcode> brjann: yeah xargs doesn't seem tow ork either. It executes the command, but I don't think it's the same as me doing it manually
[22:58] <hdon> boehlke, wow, that's.. quite a peculiar problem
[22:58] <MilitantPotato> boehlke: launch (might need installed) firestarter and see if iptables is blocking communication for some reason?
[22:58] <MilitantPotato> boehlke: doubt it since vmware works, but meh.
[22:58] <ardchoille> qetuR: are you sure you want to be running a "testing" version of that app?
[22:58] <brjann> opcode: huh. well, how about sudo -E then?
[22:59] <hdon> boehlke, are you using hostnames or ip addresses in your tests?
[22:59] <qetuR> ardchoille: yea, just want to try
[22:59] <ardchoille> ok
[22:59] <boehlke> hdon, host name lookup works
[23:00] <boehlke> hdon, I use host names, I they resolve to ip addresses correctly
[23:00] <Stevethepirate> Hey, having some problems install ubuntu on an oldish server. The server has (only) SCSI drives, but Ubuntu installation and Live Cd won't pick them up (as well as gparted off live disc). Any help? [According to dmesg, the driver used is adaptec aic7xxx eisa/vlb/pci scsi hba driver]
[23:01] <opcode> brjann: no, that doesn't work either. I'll keep trying, thanks
[23:01] <brjann> opcode: bummer. sorry!
[23:02] <boehlke> MilitantPotato, iptables rule tables are empty
[23:02] <hdon> boehlke, ok, the only other thing i can think of is that the networking bridge between your virtual machine and your linux system is somehow messing things up. i don't know about that part of VMWare, but i'm familiar with how it's done in other virtualization software, and there's plenty of room for error. try uninstalling vmware, or booting a live system from an ubuntu cd, and see if you can reproduce the connection problem
[23:02] <thak> Hello, would this be the right channel to address questions about Lucid?
[23:03] <thak> or is there a specific channel?
[23:03] <seanbrystone> !lucid | thak
[23:03] <MilitantPotato> thak: ubuntu+1
[23:03] <thak> Thanks
[23:04] <javatexan> is there a way to add ubuntus live cd to the hdd and have grub boot from the iso on hdd
[23:04] <iman00b> haha im not the only one with grub issues then
[23:05] <hdon> javatexan, i hope so! it would be a real PITA if the livecd developers and testers had to burn a new CD every test!
[23:05] <javatexan> good Jordan_U sent me a link...here is thread...I haven't read it yet  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604
[23:05] <eraggo> hdon: i think they use networking for that? :|
[23:06] <boehlke> hdon, wow, you were perfectly right, I uninstalled the VMWare drivers from the system and everything works again. Thank you :-)
[23:06] <neezer> I have a script that runs every half hour on my server,  but I can't find it in crontab. Is there anywhere else it might be? I know it is running properly, but I just can't find where I put it.
[23:07] <eraggo> neezer: is crontab == at? :D
[23:07] <ardian> Hi im streaming a radio but i dont have windows for using winamp or how its called what can i use ?
[23:08] <eraggo> ardian: icecast?
[23:08] <madjoe> jpds, VCoolio, dAnjou: I almost uninstalled "Gnome Do", but it seems like a great help regarding the usability, efficiency and speed... thank you guys for a recommendation!
[23:08] <Dover> Anybodt can help me installing LINX??
[23:08] <AbuMaia> I've got an external hard drive connecting via usb, but when I plug it in it doesn't get mounted.  I can hear the drive being spun up when it's plugged in, but nothing happens on the computer.  how do I fix this?
[23:08] <Dover> http://paste.ubuntu.com/390651/
[23:09] <ardian> eraggo, so its like that in windows
[23:09] <ardian> that pluggin for winamp
[23:09] <Stevethepirate> (edcast)
[23:09] <Stevethepirate> Is a decent shoutcast/icecast plugin for winamp.
[23:09] <ardian> I dont want a server on my local
[23:09] <ardian> i just want to add the playlist
[23:10] <Stevethepirate> Um?
[23:10] <Stevethepirate> Please speak English?
[23:11] <neezer> eraggo: I'm not sure what you mean?
[23:11] <hdon> ardian, do you need an Ubuntu program to stream internet radio?
[23:11] <ardian> yes hdon
[23:11] <hdon> ardian, rhythmbox seems to be the most popular
[23:12] <hdon> Stevethepirate, you suck at support
[23:12] <TinBasher> lol
[23:12] <Stevethepirate> :*(
[23:12] <Stevethepirate> I can't see what someone is saying when they speak mindless garbage :(
[23:13] <ardian> Stevethepirate, well if you can't do speak
[23:13] <Paul`> Why does my windows tear ?
[23:13] <ardian> dont speak
[23:13] <Kangarooo> what command to kill all x or something elso? all hang up. mouse cant be moved but i got in ctrl+alt+F6
[23:13] <TinBasher> tear?
[23:13] <Paul`> Yeah window tear
[23:13] <Stevethepirate> Was just trying to help him with icecast ;/ (seeing as I use it a lot) and then the question deviated somewhat.
[23:13] <iman00b> when i open a terminal if the script reads "ubuntu@ubuntu:~$" does that mean i am mounted on an ubuntu live cd?
[23:14] <Paul`> I should just go back to Mac OS X
[23:14] <brjann> Kangarooo: you can try     sudo service gdm restart
[23:14] <ardian> hdon, shoutcast is running on an other server, now i need just to start t he music from my PC im using Ubuntu winamp is not here
[23:14] <AbuMaia> Paul` what do you mean by "tear"?
[23:14] <Stevethepirate> ^^ Enjoy hdon; :)
[23:14] <Paul`> I move the window and it tears
[23:14] <Kangarooo> brjann: yes but witch service? mouse was moving firefox tab and now its not letting go..
[23:15] <TinBasher> like it "rips"?
[23:15] <eraggo> ardian: music can be found on... which computer? server or yours?
[23:15] <Paul`> i think it might be Xorg
[23:15] <AbuMaia> Paul` I have never heard of that happening before
[23:15] <Paul`> or my graphic drivers
[23:15] <brjann> Kangarooo: do you want to restart your entire gnome session?
[23:15] <Kangarooo> brjann: yes
[23:15] <ardian> eraggo, on my computer
[23:15] <AndyGraybeal> what will be the suggested backup progam in  ubuntu 10.04 server?  is it going to be bacula?
[23:15] <Kangarooo> brjann: maybe xfce session im on xubuntu
[23:16] <AbuMaia> how do I fix a problem with a usb drive not mounting when its plugged in?
[23:16] <brjann> Kangarooo: then as i said,     sudo service gdm restart
[23:16] <eraggo> ardian: ok, is it possible to test like this: get internet-dj-control from add/remove, and connect to server?
[23:17] <ardian> ok lets see
[23:17] <brjann> Kangarooo: gdm is the gnome display manager, which ubuntu and (i believe) xubuntu use for desktop environment management
[23:17] <Kangarooo> brjann: ah ok i thougt u mean service as packganame.. ok no understand thx
[23:17] <brjann> Kangarooo: no problem :)

[23:18] <ardian> nope i can't find  some app for internet-dj-control
[23:18] <xangua> zvacet: your 'connection password'¿
[23:18] <eraggo> ardian: type on search internet radio?
[23:18] <zvacet> xangua:  sorry can you be more specific

[23:20] <zvacet> xangua:  I have to type my login password
[23:21] <eraggo> ardian: since i never used/made internet radio station i'm not pro on those things; however i have feeling that you have radio server on somewhere and you need only program to send stream in there
[23:21] <xangua> zvacet: maybe you should return to gnome-network.manager
[23:21] <ardian> yep eraggo
[23:21] <ardian> i found a video but its using Winamp
[23:22] <zvacet> xangua:  reason why i use wicd is because you can use it in every desktop like lxde enlighternment...
[23:23] <ylluminate> i have something very odd going on.  had an issue with mysql-server installation on ubuntu 9.10, removed it and installed it again, however it keeps complaining that the /etc/init.d/mysql script is missing
[23:23] <ylluminate> i've gutted all of the files and reinstalled a few times
[23:23] <ylluminate> however nothing seems to actually put the initi script back in
[23:23] <ylluminate> i've tried touching it to see if it would detect it and overwrite it
[23:23] <ylluminate> but it just leaves the empty file there
[23:24] <ylluminate> this is making no sense.  anyone able to shed some light?
[23:24] <zvacet> xangua:  and I know many pople use wicd without this problem I´m facing so I just want to be like them  :)
[23:24] <Pirate_Hunter> !media | Pirate_Hunter
[23:24] <_spm_Draget> is there some way to add an additionl directory to the $PATH variable system-wide? i.e. not in the users own file?
[23:25] <xangua> zvacet: you may wanna try then in #wicd channel
[23:25] <Random832> _spm_Draget; add a script in /etc/profile.d to add it
[23:25] <brjann> _spm_Draget: yes, you can either edit /etc/profile or drop an addition script in /etc/profile.d
[23:25] <eraggo> ardian: maybe "Theorur" is the 1? checking for more..
[23:25] <Random832> that'll apply to anyone who uses bash
[23:25] <xangua> they will be more helpful than me
[23:25] <ardian> ok
[23:26] <JimmyNeutron> .
[23:26] <hdon> ardian, rhythmbox plays stream audio
[23:27] <hdon> ardian, you could also use VLC to play stream audio
[23:27] <eraggo> hdon: i think he wants to stream out :)
[23:27] <ardian> hdon, its DSP
[23:27] <hdon> ah.. well i'm going to eat.. bbl
[23:28] <Mike_lifeguard> When someone uses sudo -i, I can use $SUDO_USER to see who they are. Without the -i, that var doesn't get set. Is there something else I can use?

[23:29] <Random832> mikau; i get SUDO_USER set with 'sudo sh' and 'sudo -s' too
[23:29] <Random832> what's the exact situation you're in that it doesn't get set?
[23:29] <Random832> since even if i do sudo env it prints out SUDO_COMMAND SUDO_USER SUDO_UID SUDO_GID
[23:30] <Mike_lifeguard> Random832: http://p.defau.lt/?SZt215Hp5kKISQthOKd6nA
[23:30] <Random832> Mike_lifeguard; you're trying to get SUDO_USER from the original shell, not from sudo
[23:30] <Random832> try do sudo sh -c 'echo $SUDO_USER'
[23:30]  * Mike_lifeguard hrm...
[23:31] <eraggo> ardian: last choice if i would be making Internet Radio is Amarok.
[23:31] <Random832> what's the _real_ thing you need it for that you think it's not getting set, not the test case you're using to 'confirm' it?
[23:31] <ardian> eraggo, i find an app
[23:31] <ardian> on shoutcast site
[23:31] <ardian> thanks
[23:31] <eraggo> oh :D must be hidden very well
[23:32] <ardian> no eraggo it was hard to config
[23:32] <jub369> does anyone here have a experince with FTP/Putty
[23:32] <Mike_lifeguard> Random832: I have a shell script that uses $USER to log some actions... I want it to use the real user
[23:32] <eraggo> jub369: o/

[23:33] <Volkswagner> Greetings, can someone advise:  9.10 Alternate CD fails to configure network, yet in console dhclient will aquire ip address from my router
[23:33] <eraggo> oh ftp -,-
[23:33] <Random832> Mike_lifeguard; so have it use SUDO_USER - have you tried this and it hasn't worked?
[23:33] <jub369> no i need some help getting them to work because when i use it it always say no such file or it goes to user$mydesktop
[23:33] <Stargaze> Volkswagner, please type /join # ubuntu-server
[23:33] <Stargaze> Volkswagner, please type /join #ubuntu-server
[23:33] <Volkswagner> k
[23:33] <Random832> or do you simply _believe_ it won't work because of your broken test case?
[23:34] <Mike_lifeguard> Random832: yeah, it didn't work, but I can probably figure this out
[23:34] <eraggo> jub369: what on exactly you want help on? making ftp to work?

[23:43] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[23:43] <networkr> anyone know how to edit menu in Xubuntu Karmic?
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> networkr: does it come with alacarte?
[23:44] <KenBW2> anyone else having problems with Pidgin not starting, and other apps since doing an update?
[23:44] <AlienDK> ....
[23:44] <networkr> no
[23:44] <AlienDK> [00:43:44] -ChiefDean:#ubuntu- PLEASE JOIN MY SERVER YALL! HEATWAVE.SELFIP.NET
[23:44] <AlienDK> go to hell dean
[23:44] <sebsebseb> !ops
[23:44] <AlienDK> ignored :)
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> KenBW2: launch it from terminal, the output will help, you could try renaming ~/.purple to see if your profile is at fault
[23:45] <sebsebseb> oh yeah the bot does a ban, when people do notices
[23:45] <AlienDK> :)))
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> networkr: i'd ask in #xubuntu but i think alacate works in xubuntu too
[23:45] <KenBW2> ActionParsnip: The program 'pidgin' received an X Window System error.
[23:45] <networkr> sudo alacarte
[23:45] <networkr> [sudo] password for networkr:
[23:45] <networkr> sudo: alacarte: command not found
[23:45] <networkr> networkr@independence:~$
[23:45] <FloodBot4> networkr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> networkr: you dont run alacarte with sudo as it is a gui app, nor do you as you want it to use your config, not roots
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> networkr: you can install it and see if it works
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> KenBW2: could add the pidgin ppa
[23:46] <networkr> alacarte is for gnome, I don't want all those dependencies
[23:47] <KenBW2> ActionParsnip: it's a problem with a few apps. running them as sudo works fine
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> KenBW2: did you try renaming the config folder?
[23:47] <networkr> i want a menu editor for xfce in xubuntu
[23:47] <KenBW2> ActionParsnip: no, but it's not a pidgin issue
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> KenBW2: dont run pidgin wih sudo, not only is it massively unsecure its also incorrect
[23:48] <KenBW2> ActionParsnip: im not, it's just useful debugging information
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> networkr: i'd ask in #xubuntu its more specific to your system
[23:48] <zebastian> anyone know of a skype for windows version that runs well on wine in ubuntu hardy?
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> KenBW2: are you the owner of all of your home folder?
[23:48] <Roasted> hey guys - I blacklisted a driver. How do you unblacklist it?
[23:48] <te_> zebastian: What is wrong with the Linux version?
[23:49] <KenBW2> ActionParsnip: yea. As stated, the problem is with X
[23:49] <qetuR> hey! i added this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/testing to terminal, i want it to delete it now, how do i do that?
[23:49] <Roasted> qetuR, go to software sources and delete the ricotz entry.
[23:49] <Roasted> qetuR, under system - admin - software sources
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> qetuR: use software sources under administration
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> KenBW2: sounds like a bug
[23:50] <zebastian> te_: when im on a call with 10+ people i cant change the size of the window with the list of people and i cant mute
[23:50] <zebastian> and i need to mute
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> KenBW2: does it happen with other users?
[23:50] <Roasted> how can I see what items are currently blacklisted?
[23:50] <KenBW2> ActionParsnip: im the only user
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> KenBW2: make a new one, its free
[23:50] <qetuR> Roasted: ty! and ActionParsnip ty to! ;)
