[00:00] <G-Farkas> I tried to enable the try from the preferences file, and starting icewm with icewm-session to load icewmtray, and I see in the process list that it is runing, but still cant see them. Ill try to set it up with the app that you recomend me, and then ill coment ^^
[00:01] <Typos_King> G-Farkas:     it may be runnning, but not showing on the taskbar
[00:02] <Losha> prod1: the first error is on line 183 with the declaration of uintptr_t. I would try just commenting out the declaration in the file and see if you get any further. It seems obvious that the code has never been compiled/tested on your version of ubuntu...
[00:02] <Typos_King> G-Farkas:     the taskbar has several sections, mailbox, url, tray, toolbar and another I think
[00:02] <G-Farkas> Typos_King:  I know, I add a line to precerences file, but still doent work, ill show you the line, If  icepref doent overwrited my file :s
[00:03] <Typos_King> G-Farkas:     there's also a prefoverride file too
[00:03] <chrome> daniskami: well, got it to work but the workspace switching is broken :)
[00:03] <G-Farkas> ShowTaskBar=1
[00:03] <G-Farkas> TaskBarShowTray=1
[00:03] <VCoolio> PyroPhelia: it means it has chmod 777 permission I think, so r/w/executable by all
[00:03] <daniskami> chrome: oh, good luck with that
[00:03] <PyroPhelia> VCoolio, negative
[00:03] <Losha> v0lksman: checkinstall doesn't always work. When it doesn't, your only other option may be to log the output of 'make install' to a file, so you can back out any changes it makes by hand. You might just try running sshd from the build directory for testing. This is what you get for being a pioneer...
[00:04] <Typos_King> G-Farkas:     for changes to take place, you need to restart iceWM
[00:04] <PyroPhelia> VCoolio, infact I was playing around with chattr a little bit to see just how strong +a and +i were.  but I was getting strange results with parent folder colors
[00:04] <G-Farkas> Yes, I did it yesterday :)
[00:04] <Typos_King> G-Farkas:     Logout > Restart icewm
[00:05] <jim---> PyroPhelia: Enjoy.    for z in `seq 0 7`; do for a in `seq 0 7`; do for b in `seq 0 7`; do for c in `seq 0 7`; do echo "touch $z$a$b$c"; echo "chmod $z$a$b$c $z$a$b$c"; done; done; done; done
[00:05] <prod1> thanx for your response, the only other problem is that im relatively new to ubuntu and am not sure where to find this file :S
[00:05] <VCoolio> PyroPhelia: anyway, check output of 'dircolors' to learn more
[00:05] <G-Farkas> Typos_King: I still cant find the tray option
[00:05] <Typos_King> G-Farkas:     TrayShowAllWindows=1  <--
[00:06] <prod1> searching now
[00:06] <ni|> hi, i'm not new to linux at all; however, 9.10 is detecting only 800x600
[00:06] <jim---> That's weird, I thought 9.10 had automatic non-noob detection and made the hardware work
[00:07] <ni|> heh me too thats why i was running it
[00:07] <prod1> same :D
[00:07] <ni|> i just want to work on the kernel not on the stupid resolution
[00:07] <Typos_King> G-Farkas:     want to try my preferences?   I can paste it
[00:07] <ni|> jim---: should i just make a custom xorg.conf like the old days
[00:07] <jim---> ni|: are you clean-shaven?  Maybe that's throwing it off
[00:07] <Typos_King> then you can edit it away
[00:07] <ni|> jim---: actually no, and its been bothering me all day
[00:08] <G-Farkas> Typos_King:  I just find it, but I wish to try your preferences file :)
[00:08] <prod1> ok i think i know what u mean. so on line 183 of the driver install i should comment the line out?
[00:08] <faron> anybody know how to use xarchiver to install a package I just downloaded ? supposedly I have gdebi installed but the only option I get when I right click on the package icon on the desktop is xarchiver or "other"
[00:08] <Losha> prod1: it's building in /tmp/selfgz2784/NFORCE-Linux-x86_64-1.0-0306-pkg1/nvsound/main/nvalinux.h, but my guess is it copies the files there from somewhere else before it builds. Search for nvalinux.h
[00:08] <ni|> jim---: any ideas or just nits about nothing
[00:08] <bigtom21485> how do i get frostwire for ubuntu/kubuntu?
[00:08] <jim---> ni|: I dunno, I use 9.04 mostly and have no qualms with xorg.conf; Linus notwithstanding.
[00:09] <Losha> prod1: no, I think line 183 just reports the error. The *cause* of the error is on line 54 of nvalinux.h, whereever that is....
[00:09] <jim---> ni|: the obvious idea is to tell it what resolution you want instead of let it detect
[00:09] <prod1> no results found :S
[00:09] <kcg> hi there, I managed to play rmvb files in totem player which i understand uses xine as backend, but for some reasons i couldn't use xine to play rmvb, anyone could point me to the right direction? many thanks.
[00:09] <VCoolio> faron: if it's a deb, rightclick > properties > open with tab > point to gdebi-gtk in /usr/bin to make it default for all .deb
[00:09] <veebull_> In /etc/hosts, what is the 127.0.1.1 entry for?  I'm used to 127.0.0.1 for localhost on the loopback interface, and then regular IPs for this machine and others...
[00:09] <ni|> jim---: the latest xorg is supposed to not require a xorg.conf
[00:09] <ni|> so i'm trying to do this the canonical way first.
[00:10] <ni|> jim---: i'd like help but enough patronizing
[00:10] <Typos_King> G-Farkas:     http://pastebin.ca/1841879    <-- preferences
[00:10] <damnit> Hi all, one question, what's the loopback interface plz ?
[00:10] <hDy> I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and was adding a repository and accidentally overidded the whole file, so does anyone know were I can get a virgin sources.list?
[00:10] <jim---> ni|: I didn't mean it to be patronizing, sorry
[00:10] <VCoolio> kcg: is rmvb supported by xine? I think you'll need realplayer
[00:10] <Jordan_U> ni|: jim---: If you are getting 800x600 it almost always means that, for whatever reason, the driver being used cannot do any better than that. So setting a resolution manually will likely do nothing.
[00:10] <G-Farkas> Typos_King:  Thanks
[00:10] <Jordan_U> ni|: What graphics card?
[00:10] <ni|> Jordan_U: thats what i assumed
[00:11] <histo> !codecs > kcg
[00:11] <bigtom21485> I am phasing windows out completely. so without buying a zune or something else, how do i set up a sync-type relationship with linux and what program would i use?
[00:11] <kcg> VCoolio: i think there were some codecs i install which totem could use,
[00:11] <veebull_> damnit, it's an internal interface that only exists in code, that your machine can use to connect to itself
[00:11] <ni|> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[00:11] <bigtom21485> for my ipod
[00:11] <ni|> Jordan_U: thats what lspci reports
[00:11] <jim---> ni|: Yes it doesn't require xorg.conf but will it support one if you supply it?
[00:11] <ni|> jim---: yes it will i know
[00:11] <damnit> humm ok, TY veebull
[00:11] <ni|> but i think Jordan_U is correct here.
[00:11] <Jordan_U> ni|: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[00:11] <faron> vcoolio..maybe that's the problem...Im sorry it's a tar.gz
[00:12] <prod1> is there an open source way i can install my nvidia sound card?
[00:12] <kcg> histo: i have installed the restricted package so the default video could pick up. Somehow xine couldn't pick the codec up, any ideas? cheers
[00:12] <ARC0112358> I (accidentally) made a volume on my Ubuntu machine oned by root and can no longer write or modify files on it - can someone help me switch it back?
[00:12] <faron> can you tell me what to do with that ? vcoolio ?
[00:12] <ARC0112358> owned
[00:12] <ni|> Jordan_U: its pissy about hsync and vrefresh claiming they are out of range
[00:12] <zhaozhou> prod1: Check alsa's homepage, you'll see what they support.
[00:12] <prod1> thanks :)
[00:13] <chrome> daniskami: fixed :) simple compizconfig settings manager sorted it out
[00:13] <Losha> prod1: best of luck...
[00:13] <daniskami> chrome: congratulations
[00:13] <ni|> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/mGxDiHQi
[00:13] <prod1> i think ill need it :D
[00:13] <chrome> its actually a little awesome.
[00:13] <Jordan_U> ni|: Could you please pastebin the entire log?
[00:13] <G-Farkas> Typos_King: Ill restart, be right back
[00:14] <Typos_King> k
[00:14] <surajpkn> hi, can anyone help me on how to mount an ipod touch
[00:14] <surajpkn> can anyone help me with mounting my ipod touch?
[00:15] <Jordan_U> !iphone | surajpkn
[00:16] <surajpkn> well the problem is that when i plug in my ipod touch, my ubunut does not detect it
[00:17] <ni|> Jordan_U: http://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?7416
[00:17] <Typos_King> !ipod
[00:17] <Typos_King> surajpkn ^
[00:17] <ni|> Jordan_U: sorry for the delay, was getting a cli nopaste app
[00:17] <surajpkn> when i mount it using the command mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ipod , i get a message saying "unknown location /dev/sdb1"
[00:18] <Typos_King> ... ahemm...
[00:18] <Typos_King> !ipod | surajpkn
[00:18] <Random832> surajpkn, it's not guaranteed to be "sdb1", that's system-dependent
[00:18] <Random832> (on how many disk drives you have, mainly)
[00:18] <surajpkn> how do i check in which sdb or sdc or sda it is in?
[00:18] <Random832> are you using gnome? does it not appear in the places menu?
[00:19] <surajpkn> no it does not appear in places menu
[00:19] <Typos_King> surajpkn    you can try checking with -> sudo df
[00:19] <Random832> i don't think df tells you about unmounted filesystems
[00:20] <Random832> try cat /proc/partitions (and see if there are any devices you _don't_ recognize from df)
[00:20] <G-Farkas> Typos_King:    Kvirc has a tray icon B-)    But pidgin no :(
[00:20] <surajpkn> that gives me only sda1 which is my internal hard drive
[00:20] <Typos_King> G-Farkas:   maybe is an option in pidgin?   dunno, I have several icons myself loaded int he tray with np
[00:21] <surajpkn> i tried cat command
[00:21] <hal> for the new intel i7 64bit processor, what version of ubuntu should I be installing?
[00:22] <surajpkn> and it gives me the result with sda1, sda2, 5 and 6
[00:22] <happyface> is there a way to make 2 replacements using only 1 'sed' command?
[00:22] <G-Farkas> Typos_King:  You should activate the option that can be translated to english with something like "Activate the tray icon"
[00:22] <surajpkn> these are my internals (like swap, etc)
[00:22] <hal> i386 or AMD64 ?
[00:22] <skraps> g farakas how do you lik kvirc? anyone? i use xchat bu thats all i ever used
[00:22] <G-Farkas> Typos_King:  Thank you very mucho, I really apreciate your help
[00:22] <skraps> and bitchx way back when
[00:23] <surajpkn> my lsusb can see the apple ipod... but sudo fdisk -l cannot recognize it anywhere
[00:23] <surajpkn> ??
[00:23] <Typos_King> skraps:   I've used xchat, kvirc, konversation, pirch.. and a few others..... I prefer xchat myself
[00:23] <ni|> Jordan_U: any ideas?
[00:23] <Jordan_U> ni|: No, sorry.
[00:23] <ni|> Jordan_U: where can i ask?
[00:23] <G-Farkas> skraps: I dont know, I works fine and  give me no problems, I really dont chat via irc too often so i really dont care.
[00:24] <Jordan_U> ni|: File a bug report and try ubuntuforums.
[00:24] <surajpkn> can someone here help me with this ipod thing? I am desperate! sorry
[00:24] <ni|> ok thanks :)
[00:25] <ipauldev> Anyone else using karmic ubuntu rdesktop to RDP into W2K8 R2? I have 6 brand spanking new servers connected over a DS3, so fast enough, and they all seem to randomly beccome unresponsive and then recover.... Issue with rdesktop? I have no issues with W2k8 RDP
[00:26] <chrome> ipauldev: try a different rdp client, or alternatively, use VNC.
[00:26] <rahduke> if i want to map sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to my keyboard how would i do that?
[00:27] <Typos_King> ipauldev:    try checking if there are any linux-backports-modules... maybe those provide a fix
[00:27] <Spirits-Sight> Hi I am getting this error when trying to connect to a CE device "Could not display "synce://christopher-e/".  Nautilus cannot handle "synce" locations. any help would be gratefull
[00:28] <rahduke> ipauldev: whats the problem?
[00:28] <G-Farkas> Someone can tell me the name of the apps that is in tray for default in ubuntu to conect to a net? (I made a minimal install without gnome and I dont know its name)
[00:29] <rahduke> G-Farkas:  network-manager?
[00:29] <Typos_King> rahduke:     ...   don't need that... just a 'sudo reboot' will do, I'd think it may require a gksudo, since it has to ask for a password
[00:29] <rahduke> Typos_King: sudo reboot will restart the comp, i just want to restart gdm
[00:29] <G-Farkas> rahduke: Ill try, thanks
[00:29] <Typos_King> G-Farkas:   nm-applet, for the gnome network manager, yes,it loads in the tray :)
[00:30] <rahduke> Typos_King: nice one i couldnt think of it lol
[00:30] <Typos_King> rahduke:     ohhh... ok
[00:31] <kcg> does anyone know where is the realplayer codec in Karmic, after you installed the restricted packages? Thanks.
[00:31] <ChogyDan> kcg: maybe it is in medibuntu
[00:31] <rahduke> Typos_King: what i'm trying to do is to set a keyboard shortcut that will get me out of a fullscreen game that gets screwed up, without reseting the machine
[00:31] <G-Farkas> Typos_King: You again ? :P
[00:32] <Typos_King> har har har, I run nm-applet :P
[00:32] <Typos_King> much better than knetworkmanager here, so
[00:32] <rahduke> wicd is pretty good
[00:32] <Typos_King> well....other I've used is rtutil too, and that one is ok too
[00:33] <rahduke> so no clue how to set gdm restart to keyboard?
[00:33] <G-Farkas> rahduke: Yes, but it doent run in tray bar
[00:33] <kcg> ChogyDan, is it not sth like /usr/lib/win32 or so?
[00:33] <rahduke> G-Farkas: wicd runs in panel
[00:33] <G-Farkas> rahduke: what is panel?
[00:33] <ChogyDan> kcg: oh, that's what you mean.  no, I don't know, you should look at the package
[00:34] <rahduke> G-Farkas: the top bar thingy with ur name and apps and place etc
[00:34] <Typos_King> kcg:  you mean,  you don't have it?
[00:34] <Typos_King> rahduke   he's running iceWM
[00:34] <Zeet> Hello?
[00:34] <Typos_King> no gWM
[00:34] <rahduke> Typos_King: oh lol
[00:34] <kcg> Typos_King, I have installed the restricted package, but i don't know where it is. What I am trying to find out, is to link the codec location in xine
[00:34] <G-Farkas> Typos_King:  what thing I should run before nm-applet ?
[00:35] <Typos_King> kcg:     xine has its codecs :|
[00:35] <Typos_King> kcg:  are you sure it can't play .rm/.ra?
[00:35] <Zeet> Hi, I'm having the "Not avaiable in the current data" error and I have already tried sudo "apt-get update"
[00:36] <Typos_King> G-Farkas:   nothing, just that, that's the network manager, it'll show in the tray, just click it, and connect
[00:36] <kcg> Typos_King, xine gives me an error, A problem occured while loading a library or a decoder:drvc.so
[00:37] <AP> i just install ubuntu using LVM, but when i reboot for login, i got an error message "/dev/mapper/root not found, dropping to shell"
[00:37] <kcg> Typos_King: i haven't been working with linux for a while, back in the days when knoppix was popular, i remember I used it and managed to play rmvb files in xine
[00:37] <G-Farkas> Typos_King:  when I make clic on the icon I says something like: (My system is in spanish) "the network manager is not excecuting" or similar
[00:38] <haavaros_> Hi all ... i made a little script and put it on the desktop. When I doubleclick it i get a dialog on whether to run it or edit in text editor ... is there some way i can make it run i terminal right away?
[00:38] <kcg> Typos_King: Totem, the default player, seems to work fine with rmvb files, but it just doesn't work in xine at the moment, i thought it was using the xine engine?
[00:38] <G-Farkas> Typos_King:  Puting the mouse over the icon says "net not activated" or similar
[00:38] <Typos_King> G-Farkas:   it it grayed out?
[00:38] <Kentrel> Hey guys, anyone know how I can make the login screen appear on my Main monitor, rather than my secondary monitor...
[00:38] <Zeet> Hi, I'm having the "Not avaiable in the current data" error and I have already tried sudo "apt-get update"
[00:38] <ipauldev> chrome, Typos_King, rahduke: apparently it even does it in Windows Virtualbox with mstsc, so must be some other networking issue, sorry, I should have checked first.
[00:38] <G-Farkas> Typos_King:  The text, but not the icon
[00:38] <AP>  i just install ubuntu using LVM, but when i reboot for login, i got an error message "/dev/mapper/root not found, dropping to shell", how could i boot correctly ?
[00:39] <Typos_King> G-Farkas:   that means, you don't have a network adaper or lacking drivers for it
[00:39] <G-Farkas> Typos_King:  But im conected here :S
[00:39] <Zeet> Hi, I'm having the "Not avaiable in the current data" error and I have already tried sudo "apt-get update"
[00:39] <Zeet> Hi, I'm having the "Not avaiable in the current data" error and I have already tried sudo "apt-get update"
[00:40] <Typos_King> G-Farkas:   if  you right-click it, is 'wireless' and 'networking' enabled?
[00:40] <AP>  i just install ubuntu using LVM, but when i reboot for login, i got an error message "/dev/mapper/root not found, dropping to shell", how could i boot correctly ?
[00:41] <Typos_King> kcg:     xine has its codecs :|.... so.. not sure if it'd work with Totem codecs
[00:41] <kcg> Typos_King, clearly you can see that im a noob, hehe....i remember something called libxine1 or sth, seems that i need to install manually
[00:41] <Typos_King> kcg:  I use xine-ui for player.... it came with a heapload... I know where those are hehe /usr/lib/xine/plugins
[00:42] <G-Farkas> Typos_King: Its apear like there are not conections when i clic on"edit conections",  but is with a "clic?" in "activate net" (or similar)
[00:42] <prymal81> Zeet: make sure your repositories are correct
[00:42] <Typos_King> kcg:    how  about installing xine-ui?   that installs libxine
[00:42] <faron> okay.I'm sorry but,I'm having major difficulties figuring out how to install this tra.gz file any help ??
[00:42] <kcg> Typos_King, I am trying to use the same, xine-ui for the player, and this is the bit isn't working
[00:42] <LLStarks> not that i mind, but how did transmission come to be a part of ubuntu?
[00:43] <AP>  i just install ubuntu using LVM, but when i reboot for login, i got an error message "/dev/mapper/root not found, dropping to shell", how could i boot correctly ?
[00:45] <Guest20318> I'm having trouble downloading from the software center, it's giving me a "not available in current data" error, and I have already tried "sudo apt-get update"
[00:45] <G-Farkas> Typos_King:  MP
[00:46] <RandomDude__> hello?
[00:46] <elementmypc> hey
[00:46] <RandomDude__> i need some help
[00:47] <Typos_King> G-Farkas:   seems as if... not interface is been seen :|
[00:47] <RandomDude__> i just installed ubuntu and i can't get the sound working :P
[00:47] <RandomDude__> any help?
[00:47] <Guest20318> Random dude: get the other hardware drivers package
[00:47] <RandomDude__> how?
[00:48] <RandomDude__> i used terminal to get the package
[00:48] <Guest20318> software center
[00:48] <RandomDude__> kk
[00:48] <RandomDude__> what do i download?
[00:49] <Guest20318>  Either Hardware Drivers (jockey-gtk) or Hardware Drivers (jockey-kde)
[00:49] <RandomDude__> the only result is
[00:49] <RandomDude__> yea
[00:49] <RandomDude__> it says it's allready installed
[00:49] <Guest20318> for both of them?
[00:49] <RandomDude__> if you need a link from where i got the first package i can give you it
[00:49] <RandomDude__> yeah, both of them
[00:50] <Guest20318> I don't know how to help then.
[00:50] <Typos_King> kcg:   ... can't say.. I mostly play dvds and m4v or avis...haven't checkk with .rm  though some docs say it does
[00:50] <RandomDude__> noo
[00:50] <Myrtti> a link where you got the package? eh?
[00:50] <RandomDude__> i'm sorry, only one pops up
[00:50] <RandomDude__> that would be (jockey-gtk)
[00:50] <RandomDude__> nothing else does
[00:51] <Guest20318> look for Hardware Drivers and look for another one
[00:51] <RandomDude__> kk
[00:51] <RandomDude__> i see it
[00:51] <RandomDude__> should i just install it?
[00:51] <Guest20318> yes
[00:51] <RandomDude__> or do i have to uninstall the other one?
[00:51] <majorastro> I find ubuntu runs faster with no sawp  file
[00:51] <Guest20318> do not uninstall the other one
[00:51] <RandomDude__> kk
[00:51] <majorastro> swap file
[00:52] <RandomDude__> k it's downloading
[00:52] <kcg> Typos_King, I can see that it has a real decorder under usr/lib/xine
[00:52] <kcg> somehow it doesnt work though.
[00:52] <Guest20318> does anyone know how to fix the "not available in current data" error in the software center?
[00:53] <majorastro> ubuntu is so robust
[00:53] <majorastro> I like it
[00:53] <RandomDude__> i'm extremely new to Ubuntu, i've only been using it for like 2 hours lol
[00:53] <Myrtti> majorastro: it might work faster, but you won't be able to hibernate
[00:53] <AP>  i just install ubuntu using LVM, but when i reboot for login, i got an error message "/dev/mapper/root not found, dropping to shell", how could i boot correctly ?
[00:53] <RandomDude__> it's almost done
[00:54] <RandomDude__> 50% done
[00:54] <RandomDude__> this is taking a while :P
[00:55] <keyboardtalk> How do I get png thumbnails to display? Other image files (jpeg) display thumbnails, but png does not
[00:55] <RandomDude__> oh, it's speeding up
[00:55] <CAPcap> question, which has lighter system requirements Ubuntu or Mint?
[00:55] <RandomDude__> and now it's slowing down xD

[01:07] <DelVecchio> help i'm limo
[01:08] <adam__> hi
[01:08] <eric> hi
[01:08] <DelVecchio> [I^llGetOverIt]
[01:09] <pikeshouse88> anyone? i have patiently waited today and i dont ever get answers from you guys
[01:09] <Guest11671> i want to duel boot with linux im running ubuntu but im afraid i;ll erase ubuntu
[01:09] <Okidesu> Where are the Themes located in Ubuntu ? i have nothing in /home/.themes folder ?
[01:09] <eremite> pikeshouse88: what is your problem?
[01:09] <eremite> Okidesu: /usr/share/themes
[01:10] <adam__> i want to watch vedios on my imac but didnt let me
[01:10] <ardchoille> Okidesu: /usr/share/themes
[01:10] <pwnkiller> sys pref appearence
[01:10] <Okidesu> thank you
[01:10] <ardchoille> Okidesu: and icons are in /usr/share/icons
[01:10] <pikeshouse88> eremite: i am 99.999% done learning all i need for setting up this server. i just need to make the transmission web ui transmit only through ssl
[01:10] <Okidesu> oh so it's not all in one folder ok thanks :)
[01:10] <pikeshouse88> eremite: so im trying stunnel
[01:11] <DelVecchio> .oO I^llGetOverIt Oo.
[01:11] <pikeshouse88> eremite: and i cant get it to function at all
[01:11] <eremite> pikeshouse88: Sorry, I cant help with that.
[01:11] <pikeshouse88> anyone familar with stunnel?
[01:11] <ardchoille> Okidesu: But you can put themes in ~/.themes and icons in ~/.icons. The only diff is that stuff in /usr/share/* will be available system-wide, to all user.. stuff in ~ won't
[01:11] <sberan> so I was connected to my work machine on VNC, and then rebooted my machine... any way I can re-login remotely and reconnect to vnc?
[01:12] <eremite> Okidesu: read what ardchoille said.  If you plan on backing up your distro to a live cd at some point, I would suggest using the /usr/share/theme path instead of using the one in your home dir.
[01:12] <Okidesu> ardchoille thanks :) that was very helpful, also i guess i can't just edit stuff in usr/share without root permissions right? So if i copy and rename a theme from usr share and edit it in home/themes it will be available right ?
[01:13] <Okidesu> no i just want to make a theme that's all :)
[01:14] <ardchoille> Okidesu: yes, you need admin perms to edit stuff in /usr/share/*, it's best to copy the theme to your home dir and edit it there, it will be fine in ~/.themes
[01:14] <froes> hi you all, is there a way i can make to gnome always mount a partition on the same folder?? like /media/disk-2 ? on the one before karmic i could put on the preferences window of the drive, on the karmic there is no such place
[01:14] <ardchoille> eremite: Good point about the livcd
[01:14] <eremite> Okidesu: open a terminal and type sudo nautilus to access your filesystem as root.
[01:14] <ardchoille> !gksudo | eremite Okidesu
[01:15] <LinuxGuy2009> froes: What are you trying to do?
[01:15] <Okidesu> ok guys thanks a lot :)
[01:15] <eremite> note taken ardchoille \
[01:16] <LinuxGuy2009> froes: Mount a partition to a folder?
[01:16] <m0ar> Any smart, innovative window pickers around?
[01:16] <eremite> Does anyone have a suggestion for a console based browser that they consider superior to w3m?
[01:17] <trism> eremite: elinks
[01:17] <Preposteruss> lynx
[01:17] <LinuxGuy2009> eremite: web browser or file browser?
[01:17] <m0ar> eremite: links2
[01:17] <eremite> LinuxGuy2009: web
[01:17] <LinuxGuy2009> eremite: do a search in the repos Im sure thats an easy self answered question.
[01:17] <eremite> Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check the repos and see what packages they require to determin my choice.  Im getting bored with w3m.
[01:18] <eremite> ^\
[01:18] <LinuxGuy2009> eremite: Most normal people use Firefox and stuff.
[01:19] <eremite> LinuxGuy2009: yeah, I'm very aware of that, but I have somke old machines with ancient hardware that I still use for other tasks, and I dont like to even install X on these machines.
[01:19] <froes> LinuxGuy2009, nope, trying to make gnome mount it always on the same folder, when i go to places and put the password
[01:19] <LinuxGuy2009> froes: Mount what?
[01:21] <EncryptedKhaos> 'normal'...eh maybe, but sometimes its fun to be Masochistic and use CLI web browsers and file browsers  :)
[01:21] <Skip> test
[01:21] <eric__> which program do i use to change my login screen
[01:21] <Semitones> has anybody sucessfully added one of those "all in one" printer/scanners in Ubuntu with good support?
[01:21] <Semitones> *successfully
[01:21] <sinistrad> eremite, I use links2, but I haven't used w3m before, so not sure of the comparison
[01:21] <LinuxGuy2009> eric__: 9.10?
[01:22] <eric__> yes
[01:22] <fabio666> EncryptedKhaos: once i used ie6
[01:22] <LinuxGuy2009> eric__: I dont think 9.10 supports that any longer. But I could be wrong I dont use 9.10.
[01:22] <eric__> i know there is a program u can dl i just cant remember what it is
[01:22] <EncryptedKhaos> good one fabio666 :)
[01:23] <LinuxGuy2009> eric__: You mean UCK or the other one to change the live CD?
[01:23] <eric__> to change the login in screen?
[01:23] <eremite> sinistrad: judging from what info I have gathered there is very little difference between any of them, save for a few different shortcuts for obscure tasks.  I guess once I find an alternative for w3m I'll find out for myself.
[01:24] <LinuxGuy2009> eric__: If you can change it, its under System, admin, login. Thats in 9.04.
[01:24] <eric__> it buddies with the login screen program that's already installed
[01:24] <LinuxGuy2009> eric__: No idea then.
[01:24] <sinistrad> eremite, I have used lynx before too, but I seemed to like links2 better
[01:24] <eric__> cool thnx anyway
[01:25] <ubunewb> Hi! I installed ubuntu 9.10 on /dev/sda5 and retained the windows partition (/dev/sda1). Now it doesn't take me to the grub but directly boots into linux. Is there a way to solve this? I'd like to boot into both windows and ubuntu.
[01:25] <LinuxGuy2009> eric__: Google it?
[01:25] <eric__> i'll let you guys know if i find it
[01:25] <froes> LinuxGuy2009, my partition
[01:25] <ubunewb> anyone?
[01:26] <Semitones> ubunewb, yes there is a way to do this
[01:26] <LinuxGuy2009> froes: If you want a partition automatically mounted at bootup then you need to learn how to edit /etc/fstab file.
[01:26] <Semitones> ubunewb, just a second
[01:26] <ubunewb> Semitones: cool :)
[01:26] <sinistrad> Semitones, I have. I don't use all of the features, though. I use the web-utility built into the printer's web server to scan in documents. It is duplex(double sided) printing with no problems either. It is an HP PhotoSmart C7250
[01:26] <LinuxGuy2009> ubunewb: Sounds like you might need grub fixed.
[01:26] <ubunewb> LinuxGuy2009: And how do I do that?
[01:27] <froes> LinuxGuy2009, again .... i dont want it to mount automatically, the only thing i want is: when i go to places and select my partition, put my password, and it will mount ALWAYS on the same folder like : /mount/idontgiveafuck
[01:27] <LinuxGuy2009> ubunewb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[01:27] <ubunewb> I'm on a liveUSB now but I can boot into ubuntu thats on my harddrive.
[01:27] <ubunewb> LinuxGuy2009: Thanks. Will look into it!
[01:28] <LinuxGuy2009> froes: Im pretty sure that an fstab edit. But I could be wrong.
[01:28] <eremite> ubunewb: use a live cd and reinstall the grub menu from the disc's repos.
[01:28] <froes> LinuxGuy2009, and i still want to put the password before mounting it
[01:28] <Semitones> ubunewb, grub2 is designed to automatically detect other systems installed on your harddrive, but if it isn't working, you might need to configure it a bit more
[01:29] <Semitones> ubottu: grub2 | ubunewb
[01:29] <ubunewb> Been doing that for the past 7 hours. Nothing seems to be working :(
[01:29] <LinuxGuy2009> froes: So then just run a "sudo mount blah blah". Thats it.\
[01:29] <Semitones> ubunewb, so right now are you on the live cd?
[01:29] <ubunewb> Semitones: Yes
[01:30] <poseidon> How can I determine what version of a program is packaged in the repos?
[01:30] <mainframe> how do i run a program in the background? currently i run sabnzbd by typing sabnzbdplus into bash, but i have to leave bash open, i can't exit it otherwise the program will shutdown.
[01:30] <eremite> froes: I have a folder from my NTFS partition saved as a bookmark in nautilus and when I click it, I get promted for a password.  Is this what you want?  you could try sudo mount /dev/hda1 (or whatever your partition is named)
[01:30] <Semitones> ubunewb, and do you know if you have grub or grub2 installed?
[01:30] <jrib> mainframe: append "& disown" or use screen or tmux
[01:30] <froes> LinuxGuy2009, it`s not supposed to use the command line, only go to the menu places and select it. just like it`s on the regular install
[01:30] <LinuxGuy2009> poseidon: You can look in aptitude or synaptic or packages.ubuntu.com and it will show all package versions.
[01:30] <mainframe> ok
[01:31] <eremite> poseidon: if you are using teh synaptic GUI, you can see the version via one of the tabs in the description window.
[01:31] <mainframe> jrib, so i would type sabnzbd &disown into bash?
[01:31] <jrib> mainframe: if that's what you want, yes
[01:31] <ubunewb> Semitones: Nope. I changed it so many times the last 5 hours. I have no clue.
[01:31] <LinuxGuy2009> froes: Cant help you sorry.
[01:31] <mainframe> thanks
[01:31] <LinuxGuy2009> froes: Places launchers are only good for mounted partitions I believe.
[01:32] <ubunewb> Gimme a sec. I'll try out the stuff on the links ya'll gave me. Thanks :)
[01:32] <Semitones> ubunewb, alright, let us know how it goes :)
[01:32] <Semitones> ubunewb, find out which version of grub you have first though
[01:32] <hugleo> Searching my printer in System / Administration / Printing option lock my computer and I need manually restart. Does anybody know that problem?
[01:33] <LinuxGuy2009> hugleo: System updated fully?
[01:33] <hugleo> LinuxGuy2009, yes!
[01:33] <eremite> hugleo: you could try searching the LaunchPad site for Ubuntu bugs, perhaps there is a fix on their site.
[01:33] <Semitones> ubunewb, the guide LinuxGuy2009 should have everything you need :)
[01:33] <LinuxGuy2009> hugleo: Probably a bug and you should report it.
[01:33] <froes> i remember it is some gconf property to do that
[01:34] <LinuxGuy2009> froes: To do what?
[01:34] <Evil_Otto> Has anyone in here set up apache to use a test SSL certificate?  Mine keeps sending http over 443 instead of https
[01:34] <hugleo> eremite, LinuxGuy2009 hmm
[01:35] <eremite> Does anyone know how to remove the Popularity-Contest package without removing all the other needed gnome packages?  It's essentially spyware.  Ubuntu spyware.
[01:35] <corigo> From command line how can I modify --help to display one page at a time?
[01:35] <CalmvsKhaos> how do you get wireless working in icewm? the Network settings manager wont let me change anything even if i click on "click to make changes"
[01:35] <Semitones> eremite, you can do this in synaptic
[01:35] <Evil_Otto> corigo: you could pipe output to "more"
[01:35] <froes> LinuxGuy2009, make it always mount on the same folder
[01:35] <Evil_Otto> eg command --help | more
[01:35] <LinuxGuy2009> eremite: You should be able to remove it. If you see ubuntu-desktop or whatever saying its gonna be removed too. Dont worry its just a metapackage that points to other packages.
[01:36] <Semitones> eremite, you can turn it on or off in either the "repositories" or "preferences" section, I'm not sure which
[01:36] <eremite> Semitones: yes, but it will also remove MANY needed packages with it.  I cannot seem to remiove it by itself without deleting more packages that I need.
[01:36] <LinuxGuy2009> froes: I have no idea what your talking about.
[01:36] <m0ar> I want my xfce4-terminal to show the windowtitle as "irssi" when I run irssi, is this possible?
[01:36] <Semitones> eremite, don't remove the package, just uncheck "popularity contest" in the _preferences_
[01:37] <Semitones> brb, rebooting...
[01:38] <LinuxGuy2009> eremite: removing popularity contest only removes metapackages from what i can see.
[01:38] <eremite> Semitones: its actually in teh Repositories config, but I would prefer to remove it.  It does not need to be there.  I dont want spyware, even disabled spyware, on my machine.
[01:38] <o4dn> can some one help me with a .bz2 file and how to install it
[01:39] <LinuxGuy2009> eremite: On my 9.04 system remving pop-contest only removes gnome-standard which should be a metapackage and is safe to remove.
[01:39] <LinuxGuy2009> o4dn: Double click and file roller will open it.
[01:39] <CalmvsKhaos> how do you get wireless working in icewm? the Network settings manager wont let me change anything even if i click on "click to make changes"
[01:39] <LinuxGuy2009> CalmvsKhaos:You might need a network manager going.
[01:40] <LinuxGuy2009> CalmvsKhaos: Whuch manager are you using?
[01:40] <ipauldev> I think I figured out the rdesktop issue. I removed the video drivers on the servers I was RDP'ing too, and it seems to work
[01:40] <CalmvsKhaos> LinuxGuy2009, donno whatever gnome uses, but im in icewm
[01:40] <CalmvsKhaos> should i try wicd?
[01:40] <LinuxGuy2009> CalmvsKhaos: Sure try anything that works.
[01:41] <eremite> CalmvsKhaos: I believe you need either the gnome or xfce network manager.  Either should work with an ubuntu minimal install, so you should be ok with them.  Im not 100% positive, though.
[01:42] <keyboardtalk> How do I get png thumbnails to display? Other image files (jpeg) display thumbnails, but png does not
[01:42] <LinuxGuy2009> CalmvsKhaos: wicd doesnt have gnome deps so it should work good.
[01:43] <shazbotmcnasty> png's are to good for thumbnails
[01:43] <LinuxGuy2009> keyboardtalk: Are the images corrupted? All images should display out of the box.
[01:43] <eremite> keyboardtalk: are you trying to display them in a web browser or on yoru computer?
[01:44] <LinuxGuy2009> keyboardtalk: I use PNG on my system for wallpapers and thumbnail fine in 9.04.
[01:44] <ppaulhus> Hey there. Just wondering, i see ubuntu creates a group called 'users' by default. Is this group used at all?
[01:44] <eremite> LinuxGuy2009: I use png for almost everything, I hate gif and jpg unless its a small, small file.\
[01:44] <Spirits-Sight> any one able to help with getting natule to work with synce?
[01:44] <markdymek_> syncing what?
[01:44] <LinuxGuy2009> eremite: Same here I hate lossy stuff.
[01:45] <Spirits-Sight> markdymek_: I get the error:  Could not display "synce://christopher-e/".   Nautilus cannot handle "synce" locations.     I am trying to be able to see the files on the device
[01:45] <eremite> LinuxGuy2009: then you probably hate ogg (Im officially championing ogg to other recording artists like myself, spreading the free software love)
[01:46] <Spirits-Sight> markdymek_:  I am able to connect to the device and it shows its connected
[01:46] <the920> I recently installed the netbook-remix desktop stuffs via synaptic in 9.10, to see what it would look like on my asus 1005.  didn't quite like it, so I uninstalled to go back to 'normal'.  Everything is back as it was but the windows still start in full screen mode with no title-bar.  Anyone know the setting to tickle to get the windows to stop opening?
[01:46] <LinuxGuy2009> eremite: Oh no not against lossy like OGG at all. No no. Whenever I use lossy formats I use higher bitrates is all. 256Kbps AAC for music for example.
[01:46] <the920> ...  err, opening full-screen.
[01:46] <markdymek_> @spiritis-sight what are you trying to sync?
[01:47] <eremite> LinuxGuy2009: I think vorbis is one of the greatest inventions since sliced bread.
[01:47] <LinuxGuy2009> the920: Maximus is still running. If its removed just reboot.
[01:47] <the920> LinuxGuy2009, Cool, thanks.
[01:47] <LinuxGuy2009> eremite: Yeah I just wished my iPod played it. hehe
[01:48] <LinuxGuy2009> the920: or find the process and try to kill it.
[01:48] <eremite> LinuxGuy2009: I wouldnt know, I hate iPods.  I have no use for a portable mp3 player at this time, and I sure as hell wouldnt want to pay so much for an iPod when i can get an old school mp3 player for a third of the price.
[01:49] <LinuxGuy2009> eremite: I agree. I didnt pay for it though. Was a gift/payment for building a website. I would never buy one for myself its too closed source.
[01:49] <LinuxGuy2009> eremite: Next time its OGG or nothing.
[01:50] <Copperred> Hello......can someone tell me where in Openoffice is the "side by side" command....to view to open docs together?   No one is home in the OpenOffice IRC channels.
[01:50] <eremite> LinuxGuy2009: Today is my birthday and I got a new wireless keyboard/mouse.  HP hardware made for Vista.  Ugly little windows logo on it and everything.  *shrugs*
[01:50] <AP> i installed ubuntu in LVM partation , but while booting i got "/dev/mapper/lvmVolume-root not found, Dropping to shell" how to fix it
[01:50] <LinuxGuy2009> Copperred: You can open them seperately and just resize the windows side by side. Also the compiz effect called grid is great for this.
[01:51] <Copperred> hmmm ok
[01:51] <Copperred> thanks
[01:51] <LinuxGuy2009> sure
[01:51] <soreau> Yea, grid can do it with key bindings and with dragging to edge in newer versions of compiz
[01:52] <vicsar> @eremite: happy b-day. Go play with your toys :)
[01:52] <LinuxGuy2009> soreau: Ooh cool. Didnt know about screen edge for grid in newer versions. Must have been where M$ ripped that off.
[01:52] <ubunewb> Hmm.. this is getting quite frustrating. What  is this error? grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /.
[01:52] <AP> i installed ubuntu in LVM partation using livecd, but while booting i got "/dev/mapper/lvmVolume-root not found, Dropping to shell" how to fix it
[01:52] <eremite> Thanks vicsar!
[01:53] <LinuxGuy2009> AP: You already know what LVM is and what its for?
[01:53] <root_my_box> hello all
[01:53] <CalmvsKhaos> ok wicd doesnt work, how do i get back the default networking manager for ubuntu?
[01:54] <root_my_box> any one need a nigger?
[01:54] <LinuxGuy2009> CalmvsKhaos: login gnome and it will start up.
[01:54] <root_my_box> ill do that nigger work for ya
[01:54] <root_my_box> 1 box
[01:54] <AP> LinuxGuy2009, ya .. but little
[01:54] <root_my_box> 1 dollar
[01:54] <ardchoille> !ops | root_my_box
[01:54] <eremite> CalmvsKhaos: you shoudl be able to remove the package and then reinstall NetworkManager and its dependancies.
[01:56] <eremite> You know, I really fail to see how people find Linux so difficult to use.  Sure, distros like Arch are not for noobs, but Ubuntu is pretty straight forward once you get used to it.  So thankful for this project.
[01:56] <hugleo> Reporting a ubuntu bug I'm getting: "Cannot connect to crash database, please check your Internet connection."
[01:56] <LinuxGuy2009> AP: Unless you know how to work with LVM I would not recomend it to you. Ubuntu doesnt use it out of the box for good reason. Anyone new coming to Ubuntu wouldnt know how to work with it.
[01:56] <hugleo> :(
[01:56] <shenzhong> configure: error: zm requires Sys::Mmap for mapped memory？
[01:56] <AP> LinuxGuy2009, ubuntu is already installed, .. i think lvm is needed while booting ... but dont know how to install it from live cd
[01:56] <puser> hi, if anybody posted anything to me, please repost. I lost my inet connection.
[01:57] <LinuxGuy2009> AP: Well only way around it other than a clean normal install is to learn how to work with LVM. Google is your friend.
[01:58] <AP> LinuxGuy2009, i have done it before, but create new LVM, this time just i am trying to use same LVM partation like /home, /var
[01:59] <ubunewb> eremite: I started using ubuntu 7.04 and found it to be great. Used windows for a brief period (uni, work etc. compelled me to) and switched back directly to 9.04. Stuff didn't change but I foud myself spending more time upgrading/fixing the bugs. IMHO, I wouldn't mind switching back to 7.04.
[01:59] <LinuxGuy2009> AP: Did you edit your fstab to reflect the reused partitions
[01:59] <eremite> Does anyone know if there are other Bible translations available for ubuntu other than the bible-kjv package?  Looking for NIV, WEB and Deuy-Rheyms (sp?) versions.  I like to study historical fiction.
[02:00] <AP> i installed ubuntu in LVM partation using livecd, but while booting i got "/dev/mapper/lvmVolume-root not found, Dropping to shell" how to fix it
[02:01] <eremite> Sorry AP, not my specialty.
[02:01] <LinuxGuy2009> AP: Unless your willing to learn how to work with LVM your gonna be stuck. Go google to learn about how to use LVM or backup your stuff and do a fresh install if you dont want to take the time to learn. Its completely up to you what you like to do.
[02:01] <Boondoklife> ubunewb: You might like lucid when it is out of beta. So far It is far more stable than I expected and it is an alpha.
[02:02] <mele> hi
[02:02] <ardchoille> !hi | mele
[02:02] <eremite> What are the major difference to be expected from Lucid?
[02:02] <ardchoille> !lucid | eremite
[02:02] <mele> hi there, is anyone having problems with 9.10?
[02:02] <LinuxGuy2009> eremite: There are many places online to get ebooks and bibles. The repos not being my first pick.
[02:02] <ubunewb> Boondoklife: That was the exact same thing I heard when 9.10 was out. I love ubuntu any day over windows and I'm not complaining. But oflate, I've faced too many problems.
[02:02] <mele> i'm having problems with wireless and waking up from suspend
[02:02] <ardchoille> mele: you might want to narrow that down a bit
[02:02] <ardchoille> ahj, ok
[02:03] <mele> as far as wireless is concerned, when i boot up, wireless network cannot be enabled
[02:03] <LinuxGuy2009> mele: All updates installed?
[02:03] <mele> yes, i think so
[02:03] <AP> eremite, LinuxGuy2009, do u know how to install package in Ubuntu in HD fron live CD
[02:03] <LinuxGuy2009> mele: If your not sure maybe check?
[02:03] <mele> from synaptics package manager right?
[02:03] <LinuxGuy2009> mele: sure
[02:03] <mele> how do i check?
[02:03] <LinuxGuy2009> mele: mark all upgrades
[02:03] <Boondoklife> ubunewb: I had all kinds of issue with 9.10 when it came out. Bashed my head in for a bit and just followed the bug reports till they were fixed. But so far plymouth is the only thing that is bitting me with lucid.
[02:04] <mele> i was pretty sure i did, but let me do that again just to be sure
[02:04] <eremite> LinuxGuy2009: I like to jump into a console and have a searchable text, which the bible-kjv package allows for.  I just might transfer the public domian translations to the source that bible-kjv package used.  I recall their help file stating something about it being easy to use other texts in place of the KJV bible.
[02:04] <ubunewb> Boondoklife: Idk. Im still basing my head. Lets hope 10.04 fixes it all. :)
[02:04] <ubunewb> brb
[02:04] <LinuxGuy2009> mele: I personally didnt get along with 9.10 either. Im back with 9.04 and extremely happy!

[02:05] <eremite> lol
[02:06] <Nollog> dat root my bawx gui sure is a silly goose
[02:06] <mele> linuxguy: is there a quick way i can get back to 9.04?
[02:06] <Pici> hmm
[02:06] <eremite> Well, isn't that plesant?
[02:07] <Nollog> I love how floodbot creates more of a flood?
[02:07] <maco> mele: reinstall?
[02:07] <zetheroo> my system just logged me out automatically ... could this have been the cause? : kernel: [11431.365892] VirtualBox[25716]: segfault at 2e3460f0 ip 00007fb65db5ab65 sp 00007fb64dab3b20 error 4 in libc-2.10.1.so[7fb65db22000+166000]
[02:07] <maco> mele: there's no way to downgrade
[02:07] <mele> guess i could do that lol, was trying to avoid the inevitable
[02:07] <zetheroo> I had VirtualBox open at the time of the crash/logout
[02:08] <mele> maco: thanks for the advice, i'll try reinstalling, before i have too many thing installed.
[02:08] <Geforce88> can i adjust the terminal resolution in ubuntu with NO xserver?
[02:08] <eremite> Geforce88: if you use xrandr you might be able to
[02:08] <CalmvsKhaos> how to start wifi? wicd not working
[02:08] <eremite> Geforce88: nevermind, you said NO x
[02:09] <puser> My windows don't get selected in gnome by mouseclick, only by when I enable "select windows when the mouse is over them". How do I fix windows selection by mouse click?
[02:10] <Jon-> There is a web Java applet I use often, and I never have any issue with Windows 7. However, on Ubuntu, I occasionally (yes, it does work sometimes), get the following output from Java Error Console: http://pastebin.com/XAJjnATP  Any ideas?
[02:10] <Geforce88> eremite, i have 800x600 terminal window, i would like it the 1068xwhatever, any ideas?
[02:10] <puser> It just started happening today. I rebooted, didn't help
[02:10] <LinuxGuy2009> Well that was pleasant. I love when the bots decide my router is buggy out of the blue.
[02:11] <zetheroo> my system just logged me out automatically ... could this have been the cause? : kernel: [11431.365892] VirtualBox[25716]: segfault at 2e3460f0 ip 00007fb65db5ab65 sp 00007fb64dab3b20 error 4 in libc-2.10.1.so[7fb65db22000+166000]
[02:11] <eremite> puser: have you installed a theme that uses text too large for the titlebar?  Sometimes when text is larger then the hight of the title bar, it will displace the buttons.  At least this was a problem in windows.
[02:11] <eremite> Geforce88: hold on, let me see if I have any local documents that may be of help.\
[02:11] <Geforce88> eremite, gracias
[02:13] <puser> eremite: I used default themes. Yes, I was playing with them, but I changed them a couple of days ago and just yesterday, everything was still working fine. The text all fits in title bars.
[02:13] <eremite> Geforce88: is there a reason you dont or can't use X?
[02:14] <puser> eremite: I am using clearlooks, just changed the icons in there to icons fcrom DarkRoom
[02:14] <puser> nothing else was done with themes and fonts.
[02:15] <eremite> puser: I have no idea what your problem could be from.  I suggest sticking around and asking every 10 minuts, and hopefully somone with a cure for your problem will announce themselves.
[02:16] <puser> ok, I'll do that
[02:16] <hDy> anybody know how I can add a python script as a menu item in gnome?
[02:17] <Geforce88> ermite is a tty local terminal window
[02:17] <Geforce88> it's i mean
[02:17] <LinuxGuy2009> hDy: I think nautilus can use scripts for file actions on the right click menu if thats what you mean.
[02:17] <eremite> hDy: right click the menu, choose "Edit Menus" and add the file you want to the list.
[02:18] <hDy> ya I added it to the menu but it didn't work since i had to do /home/hdy/folder/ python start.py
[02:18] <LinuxGuy2009> hDy: Oh my bad you want to execute a script. eremite got it.
[02:19] <eremite> Geforce88: you will be stuck with that resolution, I think.
[02:19] <trism> hDy: other way around, python /home/hdy/folder/start.py
[02:19] <LinuxGuy2009> hDy: Edit the launcher command line to match what you type in CLI to execute it.
[02:19] <puser> my nm-applet (network manager) appears in processes list, but stopped appearing in Notification Area. Also, I get balloons from it when something happens. They come from the notification area from network manager, but no icon appears there and I cannot right click or click anywhere there. I tried moving mouse pixel-by-pixel no chance.
[02:19] <Geforce88> there has to be a way to change the 800X600 to something more  useable
[02:19] <Geforce88> or is that at the kernal level ?
[02:19] <LinuxGuy2009> Geforce88: 800x600 for what? Desktop res?
[02:20] <LinuxGuy2009> Geforce88: Comes down to driver installed and if it supports higher.
[02:20] <eremite> hDy: make sure to enable the script to execute.  Right click > preferences > enable execute
[02:20] <Geforce88> LinuxGuy2009, YES, it's a tty local terminal on a server that doesn't have a gui installed
[02:21] <LinuxGuy2009> Geforce88: Just make sure you have a good graphics driver installed that supports all the available resolutions.
[02:21] <eremite> LinuxGuy2009: he wants to change the resolution without having X installed, and his box defaukts to 600x800.  I think it is not possible to change the resolution unless using a GUI, unless yoru monitor's has other native resolutions.
[02:21] <LinuxGuy2009> eremite: Agreed
[02:23] <hDy> sweet that works, one other question how can I start it as root? i've got "python /home/hdy/folder/start.py" and "sudo su python /home/hdy/folder/start.py" doesn't seem to work :/
[02:23] <LinuxGuy2009> hDy: sudo
[02:23] <ardchoille> hDy: use sudo -i, not sudo su
[02:23] <markdymek_> hdy you have to enable the root password
[02:23] <dlvr> how can i remove window decorations (title bar etc..) from a specific application?
[02:23] <markdymek_> sudo passwd root i think is the command
[02:23] <ardchoille> markdymek_: Please don't recommend that, it's neither supported nor recommended in this channel
[02:24] <ardchoille> sudo is all you need
[02:24] <markdymek_> he wanted to know how to do it]
[02:24] <markdymek_> thats how you do it
[02:24] <ardchoille> We're not to teach that here
[02:24] <ardchoille> Recomend sudo instead
[02:24] <Myrtti> markdymek_: along with breaking about half the system with it
[02:24] <markdymek_> its his system
[02:24] <markdymek_> if he wants to fuck it up let him
[02:25] <LinuxGuy2009> Hahaha That right we are not to answer questions.
[02:25] <markdymek_> hack away dude
[02:25] <hDy> lol
[02:25] <hDy> I run most my stuff as root
[02:25] <LinuxGuy2009> markdymek_: Good job man!
[02:25] <jlundy> howdy folks.  :)
[02:25] <ardchoille> !language | markdymek_
[02:25] <hDy> have been for the past 6 years without any issues
[02:25] <hDy> :)
[02:25] <hDy> although I do have my noob moments
[02:25] <markdymek_> fuck means teddy bear
[02:25] <ardchoille> "Man who play in root eventually kill tree"
[02:25] <Myrtti> markdymek_: and you know better, so you don't let him break his system.
[02:25] <jlundy> got a stupid question for you guys. :)
[02:26] <markdymek_> there are no stupid questions
[02:26] <LinuxGuy2009> ardchoille:  Dude the guy asked. Get over it.
[02:26] <jlundy> got a laptop with intel I7 which in theory is 64 bit, so was going to get 64 bit ubuntu
[02:26] <markdymek_> just stupid people
[02:26] <jlundy> unfortunately when I click the 64 bit option on the download page the iso name is "AMD64.iso"
[02:26] <markdymek_> do you need access to more then 4 gigs of ram?
[02:26] <LinuxGuy2009> markdymek_: I think you did a good job helping him.
[02:26] <ardchoille> LinuxGuy2009: Then politely tell him that it isn't allowed to teachit here :)
[02:26] <jlundy> so was curious if anyone actually tried to install that with the intel core
[02:26] <markdymek_> thats the default name for 64bit
[02:26] <jlundy> mark> not really.  its a laptop for personal use
[02:26] <jlundy> good
[02:27] <Nollog> amd made 64bit
[02:27] <markdymek_> it works with both
[02:27] <LinuxGuy2009> ardchoille: No I wont say that. He did a good job.
[02:27] <jlundy> was curious if that was just a bad name
[02:27] <Myrtti> jlundy: amd64 naming convention is a legacy way. it works for intel as well
[02:27] <jlundy> thanks.  had me worried so I didnt try it
[02:27] <markdymek_> i would advise agaiesnt 64 bit
[02:27] <markdymek_> only use that if you need more then 4 gigs of ram
[02:27] <Myrtti> and I wouldn't
[02:28] <jlundy> lots of problems with the 64 eh?
[02:28] <LinuxGuy2009> Yeah I have a quad core 64 bit and still run 32 bit for software compatibility.
[02:28] <Geforce88> nope, i use the 64 bit 9.10 with ZERO problems
[02:28] <lixujia> Hello!
[02:28] <kafziel> I have a question.  I just installed ubuntu and I've never used linux before.  My headphones don't work.  When I take them out, the speakers work, though and they work when I run windows.  What do I need to do to fix this?
[02:28] <markdymek_> HI
[02:28] <jlundy> hi
[02:28] <eremite> 64bit is only needed for RAM junkies, at this point in time.  In a few years it should be the standard, just waiting on developers to make 64 bit packages of their apps, utilizing the power.
[02:28] <LinuxGuy2009> Geforce88: Adobe flash plugin work ok and everything?
[02:28] <jlundy> got a new laptop and didnt feel like trying to build a custom kernel under fedora, etc
[02:29] <jlundy> so figured I would give ubuntu a shot with the new laptop and see if it works better
[02:29] <Geforce88> LinuxGuy2009, yea, it's on facebook more than it's off of it
[02:29] <jlundy> everything assplodes on fedora 12 sadly.  hehe
[02:29] <Geforce88> my laptop came with 7 so i dual booted 9.10 64 bit with zero erros or issues, and it runs everything
[02:29] <LinuxGuy2009> Geforce88: Hmm thats good to know. Ive never even installed 64bit OS on here yet.
[02:30] <eremite> kafziel: please open a Terminal window and type "alsamixer" without the quotes.  Then use the arrows on yoru keyboard to navigate to the meter/bar that says line-in and the one that says mic, and make sure they are turned up (these are volume equalizers).  This might help you.
[02:30] <jlundy> my other laptop is an amd 64 and worked fine with the adobe flash
[02:30] <jlundy> except for Hulu
[02:30] <Geforce88> put it this way, get a couple more bugs out of it by 10.04's release and i'll drop all doze products forever
[02:30] <markdymek_> its just easier not to recoomend you use it
[02:30] <markdymek_> theres no reason to
[02:30] <markdymek_> its not 32 times as good
[02:30] <LinuxGuy2009> kafziel: Your headphones plug into the speakers? Speakers work fine though?
[02:30] <eremite> I cant get Hulu in Canada without proxy.
[02:30] <markdymek_> it doesn't run faster
[02:30] <dlvr> how can i remove window decorations (title bar etc..) from a specific application?
[02:30] <Nollog> There's no reason for developers not to make 64bit applications either.
[02:30] <markdymek_> in same cases might even be slower
[02:31] <jlundy> ubuntu is debian based correct?
[02:31] <eremite> LinuxGuy2009: there are a few sound issues with Karmic.
[02:31] <kafziel> yes everything's turned on and up and speakers work fine.
[02:31] <Geforce88> i disagree, running 64 bits instead of 32 is faster. period
[02:31] <ardchoille> jlundy: yes, but quite different from debian
[02:31] <LinuxGuy2009> eremite: Oh trust me I know all about it. Why I ditched it.
[02:31] <jlundy> kk.  will have to get used to apt-get again I guess. :)
[02:31] <markdymek_> where are your benchmarks to back this up geforce88
[02:31] <zetheroo> my system just logged me out automatically ... could this have been the cause? : kernel: [11431.365892] VirtualBox[25716]: segfault at 2e3460f0 ip 00007fb65db5ab65 sp 00007fb64dab3b20 error 4 in libc-2.10.1.so[7fb65db22000+166000]
[02:32] <LinuxGuy2009> kafziel: Tested your headphones in another device cause thats not a software issue. thats a hardware issue.
[02:32] <Nollog> markdymek_: 4 JB ram < 24 JB
[02:32] <ardchoille> jlundy: there's also aptitude if  you prefer that
[02:32] <zetheroo> also why are my logs full of this stuff: zeth-r61-64 pulseaudio[12957]: ratelimit.c: 123 events suppressed
[02:32] <markdymek_> 64 bit is a joke
[02:32] <jlundy> used to use debian 3 or 4 years ago
[02:32] <jlundy> so shouldnt be to bad
[02:32] <markdymek_> its the industryies excause to sell new hardware
[02:32] <eremite> !ubuntu-offtopic
[02:32] <jlundy> curious what the main differences is between debian and ubuntu is though
[02:32] <jlundy> other than just different packages, etc
[02:32] <Nollog> No, that's 128bit.
[02:32] <markdymek_> none
[02:32] <Geforce88> markdymek_ i'm not falling into a p1ssing contest with you. everybody likes what they like. end of story. if you bewlieve 64 bit processors are slower than 32, that's your right bro.
[02:32] <LinuxGuy2009> jlundy: Stability and age of packages
[02:33] <kafziel> tested them with my mp3 player and tested other headphones.  the headphones are fine.
[02:33] <markdymek_> debian is ubuntu
[02:33] <markdymek_> debian is mostly cl
[02:33] <jlundy> no test branch on ubuntu?
[02:33] <markdymek_> ubuntu has a nice gui
[02:33] <markdymek_> no
[02:33] <LinuxGuy2009> kafziel: Then the headphone jack on your speakers is broke.
[02:33] <CAPcap> is there any way to restore "factory defaults" so that theme, startup programs, drivers, default & preferred programs and the like all go back to the way they would be under a fresh install without losing my files and programs and such?
[02:33] <eremite> Ubuntu has a horrid default GUI theme.
[02:33] <kafziel> it works when I start using Windows
[02:34] <LinuxGuy2009> kafziel: If the headphones plug into your speakers headphone jack then there either broke headphones or broke jack. Not software related at all.
[02:34] <jlundy> CAPcap> probably deleting the hidden files for your Gnome/KDE in your home directory
[02:34] <zetheroo> I also have heaps of these messages: Mar 16 12:32:31 zeth-r61-64 kernel: [11468.078831] [drm] TV-15: set mode NTSC 480i 0
[02:34] <jlundy> all the customization should be in the hidden files in your home dir
[02:34] <eremite> CAPcap: perhaps.  Open synaptic and mark all packages you think are important for reinstallation.
[02:34] <zetheroo> can anyone shed light on any of these log entries?
[02:34] <LinuxGuy2009> kafziel: Ubuntu could care less if you have headphones plugged into your speakers.
[02:35] <CAPcap> thanks for the suggestions :) I was just curious.
[02:35] <LinuxGuy2009> CAPcap: Yes you can delete all the .  files in home. All user prefs will be gone
[02:35] <LinuxGuy2009> darn
[02:36] <jlundy> hehe.
[02:36] <markdymek_> so emacs or vi?
[02:36] <markdymek_> lol
[02:37] <jlundy> ouch.  starting a war now!
[02:37] <markdymek_> lol
[02:37] <markdymek_> EMACS RULES!!

[02:37] <markdymek_> vi i  snezze in your general direction
[02:38] <markdymek_> deep fried gerbils?
[02:38] <markdymek_> yuck
[02:38] <markdymek_> are you a redneck or something?
[02:38] <Pici> markdymek_: Please stay on topic, if you want to be random, be random in #ubuntu-offtopic (to a point of coursE)
[02:38] <LinuxGuy2009> Ok got that out of my system. Back on track here.
[02:38] <markdymek_> i wanted to start a flamewar
[02:39] <markdymek_> but u didn't fall for my carefully laid trap
[02:39] <Ruge> lol
[02:39] <jlundy> so sorta on topic anyone tried out the latest Ubuntu with a new Toshiba laptop by chance? :)
[02:39] <markdymek_> why toshiba?
[02:39] <jlundy> thats what I bought.  hehe
[02:39] <LinuxGuy2009> jlundy: Ive been thinking about trying it out on my Dell Mini.
[02:40] <markdymek_> ubuntu remix ftw!!
[02:40] <jlundy> just curious mainly.  I need to figure out what wireless nic is in the toshiba and get it working.  I suspect it is going to be a pain
[02:40] <basix> markdymek_, emacs does rule :P vi ...
[02:40] <jlundy> sadly Fedora 12 failed miserably with it.  Worked great on my old laptop
[02:40] <markdymek_> jlundy type lshw in a terminal
[02:40] <LinuxGuy2009> jlundy: sudo lshw -C lan
[02:40] <basix> jlundy, lspci -nnv >> pastebin
[02:40] <markdymek_> shows you all the hardware attached to your system
[02:41] <jlundy> ah.  I was trying out lspci
[02:41]  * jlundy bonks self
[02:41] <eremite> jlundy: I'm convinced that building an Ubuntu system fround the ground up is the ideal way to go for every version of Ubuntu.  You only install what you need and forget the rest (like bluetooth or wifi if you dont need those).
[02:41] <basix> jlundy, lspci is right...
[02:41] <eremite> from*
[02:41] <markdymek_> its that very time consuming?
[02:41] <markdymek_> took me a year to build this machince
[02:41] <jaypetey> I can't seem to figure out how to add a folder of pictures to my list of backgrounds in "Appearance Preferences" (Ubuntu UNR 9.10). I'm looking to do what is done by default with the "cosmos" folder but haven't been able to figure it out. Should be simple... can anyone point me in the right direction?
[02:41] <markdymek_> actually more
[02:42] <jlundy> well I used to run debian and would rebuild my kernel, etc and used the test packages
[02:42] <markdymek_> had to get all the parts
[02:42] <jlundy> then decided I just wanted a distro that worked from install. :)
[02:42] <markdymek_> ubuntu is good
[02:42] <markdymek_> debian has been around a long time
[02:42] <LinuxGuy2009> eremite: A custom live CD build with UCk would make that pretty easy. Only have to do it once for a total custom install.
[02:42] <markdymek_> one of the oldest distros
[02:42] <jlundy> so hoping the wireless and video drivers work out of the box on this one
[02:42] <basix> ubuntu is good to the point that it has the drivers
[02:42] <markdymek_> might might not
[02:42] <jlundy> obviously the noveau driver might not like my newer video card
[02:42] <eremite> markdymek_: not really.  After you install a console you can have a working system with one line of commands.  I use "sudo apt-get install xorg firefox gedit"...etc.
[02:43] <jlundy> but assuming I can get it to boot to init 3, I can fix that
[02:43] <eremite> LinuxGuy2009: I use Remastersys to make my own personal distros.  I have a few make so far.
[02:43] <eremite> made**
[02:43] <eremite> Sorry, been drinking, hard to type on the new keyboard.
[02:44] <markdymek_> hey does anyone remember steve jobs back in the day trying to use dos?
[02:44] <markdymek_> funny as hell
[02:44] <LinuxGuy2009> eremite: Cool
[02:44] <ardchoille> !ot
[02:44] <eremite> Linus Torvalds uses OSX I think.
[02:44] <markdymek_> no he uses debian i think
[02:44] <markdymek_> with kde
[02:44] <markdymek_> i know he uses kde
[02:44] <ardchoille> Perhaps the off topic stuff can go to another channel?
[02:44] <LinuxGuy2009> ardchoille: Your like on an off-topic shopping spree tonight. Way to go!
[02:44] <Pici> eremite, markdymek_: Please stay on topic, I know its not very busy right now but we have an offtopic channel for a reason.
[02:45] <jlundy> ardchoille> seems like you have your hands full
[02:45] <eremite> He does not sue Debain, at least a few years ago he did not.  Hee was using Fedora and OSX>
[02:45] <eremite> Sorry Pici
[02:45] <markdymek_> fedora?
[02:45] <markdymek_> the bookstore linux?
[02:45] <markdymek_> i fart at it

[02:46] <Ruge> Hey, reckon that all the Adobe software will run sm000th on a vbox on ubuntu?
[02:46] <Vigo> Does the Ubuntu Software Center show the same pkgs as Synaptic or is it designed for Ubuntu <this version> ?
[02:46] <pepee> who's the genious behind compat-wireless?
[02:46] <LinuxGuy2009> Ruge: You can try.
[02:46] <basix> Ruge, depends on what you put inside the vbox
[02:47] <Ruge> Windows XP SP3 x86, give it 3GB ram and 200GB HDD space
[02:47] <LinuxGuy2009> Ruge: They will run but how the responce will be changes from app to app.
[02:47] <eremite> Vigo: synaptic is a complete list of the repos you have, the software center is only Ubuntu recommended software, I think.
[02:47] <pepee> I just want to compile the driver for my wireless card without having troubles...
[02:47] <cypher_> as
[02:47] <basix> Ruge, sure. What is the config of the physical hardware?
[02:47] <Vigo> eremite: Thank you
[02:48] <pepee> and, obviously, the need to restart the machine *IS* a problem
[02:48] <Ruge> AMD PhenomII x4 925 2.8Ghz | nVidia 9400GT 512MB | 6GB DDR2 RAM | 320GB SATA HDD
[02:48] <basix> Ruge, remember, install the 64bit version of Ubuntu, when you install Win XP, configure the VM with 2 CPUs.
[02:48] <Ruge> ah yes, i have the 9.10 x64 disc
[02:48] <markdymek_> basix why 64bit?
[02:48] <pepee> where can I find the sources for ath9k?
[02:48] <markdymek_> does he need more then 4 gigs of ram?
[02:48] <Spirits-Sight> where can I find .deb package of synce-gvfs?
[02:48] <Ruge> well im not going to use x64 WinXP
[02:48] <basix> markdymek_, 64bit handles 4GB+ RAM better
[02:48] <srdgame> Hi All, I could not unfold the email folders when I have two gmail IMAP account been enabled.  I am using Evolution.
[02:48] <Ruge> so illg ive it 3GB RAM while I gig 3GB RAM to Ubuntu
[02:48] <markdymek_> basix only reason to use 64 bit
[02:49] <srdgame> Does anybody could help me?
[02:49] <markdymek_> yes srdgame
[02:49] <markdymek_> whats your question
[02:49] <basix> Ruge, yeah thats fine but remember 2+ CPUs
[02:49] <srdgame> markdymek_, I could not unfold the email folders when I have two gmail IMAP account been enabled.  I am using Evolution
[02:49] <pepee> Spirits-Sight, google "deb synce-gvfs ubuntu"
[02:49] <LinuxGuy2009> srdgame: Maybe try thunderbird?
[02:49] <Ruge> you can do that?
[02:49] <Ruge> hang on... whats the 2+CPU thing?
[02:49] <markdymek_> can i say this?
[02:49] <markdymek_> I HATE GMAIL IMAP!!
[02:49] <basix> Ruge, more than 2 CPUs
[02:49] <srdgame> LinuxGuy2009, Can it import data from Evolution?
[02:50] <Ruge> wont it automatically use all of my cores?
[02:50] <markdymek_> srdgame
[02:50] <basix> Ruge, no
[02:50] <markdymek_> gmail imap is screwed up
[02:50] <srdgame> markdymek_,  I could not unfold the email folders when I have two gmail IMAP account been enabled.  I am using Evolution
[02:50] <LinuxGuy2009> srdgame: No idea. Ive never used Evolution.
[02:50]  * Ruge has only ever had a single core, ive only just got the quaddies
[02:50] <Ruge> could i just set VBox to use all 4
[02:50] <Vigo> srdgane: Yes it can, far as I know and have used it.
[02:50] <gadriel> Anyone have an idea why does Win XP in Virtual Box run faster than installed on the machine?
[02:51] <Ruge> gadriel: it does? o.O
[02:51] <basix> Ruge, and remember this has to be done BEFORE you install Winblows in VBox. After you install, if you increase # of CPUs, its not going to make any difference.
[02:51] <markdymek_> xp sucks gadriel
[02:51] <gadriel> yeah it looks like it does
[02:51] <Ruge> oh right, thanks for the heads up
[02:51] <Spirits-Sight> pepee: its for all the other verision of Ubuntu but not 10.04
[02:51] <gadriel> havent really run any tests but definitely boots and runs faster
[02:51]  * basix hates sucky Windbloze =/
[02:51] <Ruge> yeah it boots mega quick, i remember that much
[02:51] <markdymek_> windows xp run it in a vm
[02:52] <LinuxGuy2009> gadriel: A virtual machine in theory can only be the same speed as a native install or slower. never faster.
[02:52] <basix> gadriel, it was never meant to be run on real hardware =P
[02:52] <Ruge> lol its funny how many people sell ubuntu for like $3-4 on ebay
[02:52] <Ruge> zzz
[02:52] <markdymek_> ruge do they know its a free os
[02:52] <mgmuscari> is anyone else unable to click on the settings options for the flash plugin under firefox/chromium in 9.10?
[02:52] <LinuxGuy2009> Its legal to sell disks isnt it?
[02:52] <markdymek_> flash sucks mmiusicari
[02:52] <Vigo> srdgame: I really have not used Evolution that much, preferences I guess, but I know Tbird can do alot of that cross-over mail merge stuff.
[02:52] <brummbaer> evening and tia. i'm having problems with Ubuntu Server not powering off after issuing the shutdown command. so far have tried shutdown -h; halt; and poweroff... help?
[02:52] <basix> Ruge, that is fine as you can charge a small fee for shipping + media.
[02:53] <gadriel> Ruge and they say you can't make money from open source:P
[02:53] <basix> brummbaer, maybe an ACPI issue
[02:53] <mgmuscari> markdymek_: i'm aware of that, but we don't have much of an alternative, do we? :)
[02:53] <pepee> Spirits-Sight, "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/synce/ubuntu UBUNTU-VERSION-HERE main"
[02:53] <Ruge> basix: they are charging $8 when shipping a CD in Australia costs like $1 haha

[02:54] <basix> brummbaer, no... check with a search engine. It sounds like an ACPI issue. Might be specific to your hardware.
[02:54] <brummbaer> ah
[02:54] <markdymek_> what do you mean bargaunmart
[02:54] <LinuxGuy2009> bargaunmart: Install the video driver and go to town.
[02:54] <bargaunmart> such as nvidia?
[02:55] <bargaunmart> i have a 9800 gtx
[02:55] <LinuxGuy2009> bargaunmart: Is it an nvidia card?
[02:55] <markdymek_> who ever makes you video card
[02:55] <LinuxGuy2009> bargaunmart: Yep
[02:55] <bargaunmart> yes

[02:56] <Spirits-Sight> been to the siite you point at
[02:56] <pepee> mgmuscari, there is a ppa for that xD
[02:56] <Spirits-Sight> pepee: ^^
[02:56] <brummbaer> basix, you think if it's acpi issue i may be able to find something about it in a logfile?
[02:56] <pepee> Spirits-Sight, well, there is no package for lucid...
[02:56] <genji> needing some help with xrandr rotation... i rotated my external display and it now copies my mouse pointer from my main display to my external display.. only the mouse pointer doesn't do anything but look like its on the external monitor.... and it is still seen on main, still can use it on main.
[02:56] <mgmuscari> pepee: ppa for what?

[02:57] <pepee> time for compiling... or just force the install of another version
[02:57] <basix> Vigo, from where?
[02:57] <pepee> mgmuscari, latest firefox build
[02:57] <LinuxGuy2009> I wish the industry would ditch proprietary flash and go to something open.
[02:57] <Vigo> basix: Was on the 3.7, reverted to 3.6,
[02:57] <basix> brummbaer, i'm not sure. I would try searching for your BIOS version o
[02:57] <basix> Vigo, why?
[02:57] <eremite> LinuxGuy2009: Gnash?

[02:58] <markdymek_> does anyone need my help
[02:58] <mgmuscari> pepee: i use chromium because firefox is crazy slow. but are you suggesting that the latest ff build solves flash problems?
[02:58] <LinuxGuy2009> ls1024: Ooh that sounds nice.
[02:58] <brummbaer> oh yeah, it's an ancient old BIOS, it's phoenix 1.44 (way old HP ze4400, using it for local print/file server)
[02:58] <Ruge> Do you reckon they will update OpenOffice anytime soon?

[02:59] <gadriel> that would be real nice
[02:59] <LinuxGuy2009> ls1024: Oh i see.
[02:59] <pepee> mgmuscari, nope, I just told you that there's a ppa for latest ver of ffox
[02:59] <eremite> ls1024: HTML5 is great.
[02:59] <markdymek_> does anyone need my help if not im watching videos
[02:59] <mgmuscari> pepee: thanks... probably won't bother with it... i don't even remember the last time i used firefox in every day use
[02:59] <ls1024> eremite: For the sake of humanity, the web needs to stay as open as possible, and that means keeping things like software patented minefields out.
[02:59] <markdymek_> i use firefox all the time

[03:01] <eremite> felipe__: WINE is a good tool to play Windows games while ina  Linux environment.
[03:01] <Semitones> nice thanks pepee
[03:01] <basix> pepee, could you point me to the ff ppa?
[03:01] <jlundy> now if they only had an lspr0n command. :)
[03:01] <eremite> Semitones: df shoudl display all drives, even mounted ones I think.
[03:01] <Vigo> basix: 3.7 is great so far, and yes there is some reasoning behind the jumbled code, but that is being worked on.
[03:01] <jlundy> eremite> how well does WINE work these days?
[03:02] <ubunewb> What does this mean and how do I get rid of it? grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /.
[03:02] <Semitones> eremite, thanks, but I'm looking for a usu peripheral, not a drive
[03:02] <space> anyone know of any issues installing ubuntu on a toshiba laptop? i can get it to the install options screen but nothing happens when i click on the options except boot to hdd
[03:02] <Semitones> (found it, btw :)
[03:02] <underdev> felipe__: my ubuntu with half the processing power and a crappy video card smokes my fam's win7 box with a 240gt in terms of framerates

[03:02] <underdev> and i clearly remember when i wasn't
[03:03] <eremite> jlundy: Not sure, I only play native linux games on Linux.  I assume it works for most games, but is still buggy like usual.  There is also an alternative of sorts called PlayOnLinux.  I have no experience with that, though.  Check the repos.

[03:04] <Semitones> space, I see... hmm, well it "should" work, yeah, but the other options don't do anything... does it happen every time you boot from the cd?
[03:04] <ubunewb> sudo: grub: command not found

[03:04] <space> well, i cant check the disc from the menu
[03:04] <gsp2009> hello all. Can someone tell me if there is a way to remove package python-wxgtk2.6 without breaking everything? I only need python-wxgtk2.8. Why would both be installed by default?

[03:05] <sekyourbox> is there a way to use ENTER in terminal for copy command?
[03:05] <eremite> space: have you tried to burn the disc at the lowest speed possible to avoid errors?  I use 4x speed.
[03:06] <jlundy> thanks for the info earlier folks
[03:06] <space> no i havent
[03:06] <jlundy> going to go try to get this installed on the laptop now. :)
[03:06] <Semitones> space, there's one thing I can think of: try downloading and burning the alternate cd. It can't be run as a live cd, but you can still use it to install. Or if you have a spare usb drive, you can make it bootable with unetbootin
[03:06] <space> let me try that
[03:06] <space> is there a 64 bit version?
[03:06] <Semitones> space, first you should check the checksum of your disk image
[03:06] <eremite> space: its always recommeded to use the slowest burning speed possible for GNU/Linux distros.
[03:06] <Vigo> srdgame: I never could get a grip on Evolution, looks plain and simple enough, but I use Thunderbird. just a free choice that is available.
[03:06] <Semitones> space, yep, I'm using 64 bit right now
[03:07] <space> i didnt see that on the redirect from ubuntu to download.com

[03:08] <Semitones> space, after you click "download ubuntu" from ubuntu.com, select advanced options
[03:09] <Semitones> it'll  give you the choice for 64 bit desktop
[03:09] <Semitones> under "choose the architecture"
[03:10] <Sylphid|netbook> hmw, set filezilla to active and see if it hangs as well
[03:10] <Semitones> also, see the information ubuntu gives you about checking the md5sum of the image to make sure it has downloaded correctly.

[03:11] <space> nah c2d vigo
[03:11] <Vigo> space: Okee dokee
[03:11] <Sylphid|netbook> hmw, depending on the type then yes you do need connection tracking
[03:12] <zetheroo> anyone here familiar with log entries?
[03:12] <gsp2009> zetheroo, what you need?
[03:12] <Sylphid|netbook> hmw, i believe passive should work without connection tracking and only using port  21
[03:12] <zetheroo> gsp2009: what is this? my logs are flooded with thsi stuff:   zeth-r61-64 pulseaudio[12957]: ratelimit.c: 145 events suppressed
[03:13] <hmw> Sylphid|netbook: i tried any possible combination of settings already
[03:14] <genji> needing some help with xrandr rotation... i rotated my external display and it now copies my mouse pointer from my main display to my external display.. only the mouse pointer doesn't do anything but look like its on the external monitor.... and it is still seen on main, still can use it on main.
[03:14] <zetheroo> gsp2009: and these ones too:    zeth-r61-64 kernel: [11454.896466] [drm] TV-15: set mode NTSC 480i 0
[03:14] <hmw> Sylphid|netbook: perhaps i am too stupid or the server isn't allowing the passive mode? the guy owing the web space is never available and some super linux geek. He probably assumes, I am as allmighty as he seems to be.
[03:14] <gsp2009> zetheroo, errors with your sound device
[03:14] <jinzhu1> hi guys, what's name of the default remote desktop client in ubuntu?
[03:15] <basix> jinzhu1, rdesktop
[03:15] <Sylphid|netbook> hmw, well it seems like your probably on the right track with looking into ftp connection tracking
[03:16] <markdymek_> no logitech support for linux?
[03:16] <gsp2009> zetheroo, what version of ubuntu?
[03:16] <hmw> Sylphid|netbook: well... there I am stuck now... i have been googleing for quite a while, i always find stuff how to make a server available
[03:16] <jinzhu1> but I found rdesktop is not work well with xmonad.
[03:16] <Sylphid|netbook> hmw, what disto is your router running?
[03:16] <hmw> Sylphid|netbook: LFS :(
[03:17] <Sylphid|netbook> hmw, money!
[03:17] <hmw> argh
[03:17] <jinzhu1> is there any remote desktop client looks cooler than rdesktop ;)
[03:18] <Darkyyy> how do i install aurora gtk engine
[03:18] <hmw> Sylphid|netbook: only chance might be to connect my modem directly to my ubuntu box
[03:18] <eremite> Darkyyy: open Synaptic and search for Aurora
[03:19] <Sylphid|netbook> hmw, im looking to verify but i think that the conntrack module you want is included in the netfilter tarball
[03:20] <ubunewb> Can someone please help me with this? sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[03:20] <ubunewb> er... this: grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /.
[03:20] <KB1JWQ> ubunewb: Okay, what broke?
[03:20] <Darkyyy> mm thanks
[03:20] <Darkyyy> how can i use widgets ? gadgets ?
[03:20] <KB1JWQ> ubunewb: cat /etc/fstab into a pastebin
[03:21] <overclucker> you have to write a math problem in order to use widgets
[03:21] <ubunewb> KB1JWQ: http://pastebin.com/FUTxxa8E
[03:22] <eremite> overclucker: not true.  You can install "screenlets" from synaptic, I believe.  Then get screenlets from gnome-look.org
[03:22] <KB1JWQ> ubunewb: You're running aufs?
[03:22] <ubunewb> KB1JWQ: whats aufs?

[03:24] <Maletor> I want to register a FQDN. What's my cheapest option? I'd rather not use GoDaddy...
[03:24] <hmw> Sylphid|netbook: it seems nf_conntrack can NOT handle ftpes, due to encryption. Gotta try something different now (assinging ports per hand)
[03:26] <ubunewb> No matter what I try to do, I get this over and over again :( grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /.
[03:26] <coz_> ubunewb, are you reinstalling grub2?

[03:27] <gsp2009> anyone know anything about python?
[03:27] <coz_> ubunewb,  ok did you look at this ?  http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[03:27] <eremite> paissad, you name the file with .html instead of .txt
[03:28] <Maletor> What do you guys think of DynDns.com?
[03:28] <coz_> paissad,  look at this might help   http://commandline.org.uk/command-line/converting-html-to-text/
[03:28] <ubunewb> coz_: When I run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg, I get the error I mentioned earlier
[03:28] <moszer> does anyone knows how to install pcsx2?
[03:28] <coz_> ubunewb,  ok are you on a live cd right now?
[03:29] <ubunewb> coz_: Yes
[03:29] <paissad> coz_, i said txt to html , not the opposite
[03:29] <coz_> paissad,  sorry guy
[03:29] <paissad> np :)
[03:29] <Sylphid|netbook> hmw, looks like one solution may be to set up a proxy server on your router
[03:29] <coz_> ubunewb,  ok you already did sudo fdisk -l
[03:29] <ubunewb> coz_: Yes
[03:30] <hmw> Sylphid|netbook: hmm.
[03:30] <coz_> ubunewb,  ok and which designation was the "Linux" installation on?
[03:30] <ubunewb> coz_: Vista on /dev/sda1, ubuntu on /dev/sda5
[03:30] <coz_> ubunewb,  ok  sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
[03:30] <ubunewb> coz_: /dev/sda4 is swap, if its necessary
[03:30] <coz_> ubunewb,  well which is the designationi for the entire linux installation?
[03:30] <ubunewb> coz_: done
[03:31] <moszer> anyone please..
[03:31] <ubunewb> coz_: /dev/sda5
[03:31] <coz_> ok
[03:31] <coz_> ubunewb,  now   sudo mount --vind /dev /mnt/dev
[03:31] <eremite> moszer, http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_install_PCSX2
[03:32] <ubunewb> coz_: unrecognized option '--vind'
[03:32] <coz_> ubunewb,  that was suppose to be  "bind"  not vind
[03:32] <ubunewb> coz_: done
[03:32] <coz_> ubunewb,    ubottu,  now  sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc     then   sudo moutn --bind  /sys /mnt/sys
[03:33] <ubunewb> coz_: done and done.
[03:33] <coz_> ubunewb,  sudo chroot /mnt
[03:33] <underdev> Seriously?  There is no simple gui to configure a custom keyboard layout?!?!?!
[03:33] <ubunewb> coz_: done
[03:33] <coz_> ubunewb,  now grub2 is already installed somewhere correct?
[03:33] <moszer> eremite, is that for ubuntu or windows?
[03:33] <ubunewb> coz_: Not sure.. How do I check?
[03:34] <Maletor> If I want to set up a FQDN and let my computer handle the DNS how do I do that? Do I need to buy a .com with DynDNS.com and then write my external IP as the nameservers?
[03:34] <coz_> ubunewb,  i mean grub2 was working at one point?
[03:34] <underdev> Or rather, let me ask again:  Is there a simple keyboard remapper available for ubuntu/gnome?
[03:34] <underdev> And trust me, i've been googling...
[03:34] <coz_> ubunewb,  ok nevermind
[03:34] <ubunewb> coz_: Yes. The problem was grub was working but not recognizing my windows vista partition. So I spoilt grub2 and now I'm stuck
[03:34] <ubunewb> *grub2 was working
[03:35] <coz_> ubunewb,  now what was the readoug of suod fdisk -l again  the whole thing
[03:35] <coz_> sudo
[03:35] <coz_> ubunewb,  open another terminal to do that with if you have to
[03:35] <Vigo> underdev: You mean like Country Layout or Dvorak and stuff, and yes there is.
[03:35] <Qweyzar> Can anyone recommend me a good program to full disc encrypt my ubuntu partition?
[03:36] <ubunewb> coz_: http://pastebin.com/SQ79bSVr
[03:36] <psusi> Qweyzar, check the encrypt option when you install maybe?
[03:36] <moszer> nevermind, maybe later
[03:36] <moszer> c y'all
[03:37] <Qweyzar> psusi, I really dont want to reinstall though :P
[03:37] <underdev> Vigo: i see how to choose another pre-defined layout, but i don't see how to customize it...
[03:37] <coz_> ubunewb, ok in the previous terminal      grub-install /dev/sda
[03:37] <coz_> ubunewb,  then   ctrl+d to get out of chroot
[03:37] <ubunewb> coz_: DOne
[03:38] <underdev> Vigo: do you know how to do this?
[03:38] <coz_> ubunewb,  then reset the computer   =  restart   you will see a list of options but ONLY ubuntu will work for now...then when you log into ubuntu   open a terminal and    sudo update-grub
[03:38] <coz_> ubunewb,  then reboot and test grub
[03:38] <underdev> Vigo: i've already had to give up all my macro keys on my sidewinder x6
[03:38] <ubunewb> coz_: Will do and report back. Thanks a lot for all the help :)
[03:38] <coz_> ubunewb,  no problem let me know
[03:39] <Maletor> If I want to set up a FQDN and let my computer handle the DNS how do I do that? Do I need to buy a .com with DynDNS.com and then write my external IP as the nameservers?

[03:48] <coz_> Darkyyy,  screenlets do offer quite a few right click options as well a preferences however not 'all" of them work properly
[03:49] <coz_> Darkyyy,   but they work for the most part especially the default install ones
[03:50] <MickeyMegabyte> I've been trying to get World of Warcraft to work on my partition, but I can't seem to find something that will help me support it. any suggestions?
[03:50] <hmw1> Sylphid|netbook: I am now connected directly. It still hangs at LIST this is very frustrating.
[03:51] <eremite> MickeyMegabyte, PlayOnLinux or WINE
[03:51] <hmw1> I am using Ubuntu 9.04 and cannot connect to a web space via FTPES. After connection and authentication, FileZilla hangs at LIST. I am connected via PPPeE

[03:52] <jorechp> hey guys i have big problem my monitor burned and use another monitor how to reconfigure my x
[03:53] <hmw1> Sylphid|netbook: oh my bad... i switched to active now and am in... hurry, hurry, make a backup ... pfew... i was locked out for weeks man!
[03:53] <Ruge> RIP monitor.
[03:53] <jorechp> Ruge: yep but how to reconfigure this monitor to 1024x768 but nvidia driver only take me 640x420 and 320x240
[03:54] <Copperred> Hello room .....question:    everytime i click a .txt file ........rather than just opening up straight in gedit.....it first asks me whether or not i want to run this in terminal, or display this......obviously I want it to go straight to display in gedit....................is there anyway to turn off this question so its a more seamless experience? Thanks......
[03:54] <zetheroo> gsp2009: sorry ... this is Karmic ... I know its pulseaudio issues .. but do you know what causes this type of log entry?
[03:54] <zetheroo> gsp2009: and what about the NTSC log entry?
[03:54] <hmw1> Sylphid|netbook: thanks for your time.
[03:54] <Darkyyy> how do i install aurora engine for gnome
[03:54] <Sylphid|netbook> hmw1, no prob
[03:54] <jorechp> someone now 1 form to reconfigure X
[03:54] <maco> Copperred: dont mark it as executable?
[03:55] <Copperred> how do i do that?  i don't understand what ur saying......what do u mean?
[03:55] <maco> Copperred: if you right click -> properties -> permissions (i think...) uncheck the part about the file being executable
[03:55] <Copperred> how do i demark it as such.
[03:55] <Copperred> ok
[03:55] <Copperred> thanks.
[03:55] <Copperred> will it do that across all .txt files then?
[03:55] <coz_> Darkyyy,  I dont see it in the repository   are you on karmic?
[03:55] <maco> Copperred: if its marked as executable, its telling the computer "hi, i'm a program to be run!"
[03:55] <maco> Copperred: no, it's a per-file setting
[03:55] <Copperred> what
[03:56] <Copperred> every .txt file i have to do that?
[03:56] <Copperred> that makes no sense.
[03:56] <maco> Copperred: files shouldnt default to executable though... are these files coming from a FAT32 flash drive or something?
[03:56] <Copperred> they were imported from my windows
[03:56] <coz_> Darkyyy,   are you on karmic?
[03:56] <Copperred> straight windows created .txt files i had used on my windows computer.
[03:56] <maco> Copperred: are they all in one files?
[03:56] <maco> Copperred: one folder, imean?
[03:56] <Maletor> What would be the advantages of using DynDNS for my nameservers, versus setting up BIND9 on my home server? Is it tottaly worth it to just use DynDNS?
[03:56] <Darkyyy> yes
[03:57] <Maletor> Why Darkyyy
[03:57] <maco> Copperred: just do "chmod -x *.txt" in that folder in a terminal then
[03:57] <doughsay> why does ntebook-launcher run unbearably slow on anything but netbooks
[03:57] <coz_> Darkyyy,   ok  open  system/adminstration/synatpic pacakge manager
[03:57] <Darkyyy> ok ?|
[03:57] <coz_> Darkyyy,   click on "Settings"  then "repositories"
[03:57] <maco> Copperred: its because windows has a different filesystem, so when the files were copied in, it didnt know if they should be marked executable or not
[03:58] <Darkyyy> ok
[03:58] <coz_> Darkyyy,  click the "Other Software"  tab
[03:58] <maco> Copperred: but "chmod -x" means "change the mode so its not executable"
[03:58] <Darkyyy> yes
[03:58] <coz_> Darkyyy,   click the "ADD:  button
[03:58] <dabid> i know
[03:58] <Copperred> great!
[03:58] <Copperred> thanks maco
[03:58] <Copperred> doing now
[03:58] <coz_> Darkyyy,    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/merlwiz79/aurora/ubuntu karmic main

[03:58] <coop> using ubuntuone "cloud" icon has an !- crashes when i attempt to login. anyone else?
[03:58] <coz_> Darkyyy,  then click ADD again       deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/merlwiz79/aurora/ubuntu karmic main
[03:59] <maco> Copperred: yep, open a terminal, cd to wherever the files are, and "chmod -x *.txt"
[03:59] <Copperred> hmm
[03:59] <Copperred> ok
[03:59] <Darkyyy> done
[03:59] <coz_> Darkyyy,   then open gedit  and go here   http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x584BD6410AAFAD78  and copy that to a text file and save onto the Desktop
[03:59] <coz_> Darkyyy,  leave synaptic opened

[04:03] <sioux_> what program is recomended to recovery lost file in NTFS partition ?
[04:03] <Darkyyy> done

[04:03] <coz_> Darkyyy,   then click the "Search" button and type in  aurora
[04:03] <IdleOne> !recover | sioux_
[04:03] <coz_> Darkyyy,    gtk2-engines-aurora  should show up
[04:03] <CrashRoX> Can anyone recommend a good command line tutorial for upgrading hardy to jaunty?
[04:03] <NotTooSmart> Setup an ubuntu 9.10 install with identical hard drives and selected raid0 but cat /proc/mdstat doesn't show me any information like the manual says it should only a list of possible raid configurations, can anyone provide any insight on how to confirm raid is working properly?
[04:03] <jorechp> naco can put again my irc chat no permit scroll
[04:03] <coz_> Darkyyy,  simply right click and install
[04:04] <IdleOne> CrashRoX: you can't leap frog a version that way
[04:04] <IdleOne> !upgrade | CrashRoX
[04:04] <CrashRoX> oh? Didnt know that
[04:04] <CrashRoX> So I have to reinstall and reconfigure everything?
[04:04] <IdleOne> CrashRoX: see the links ubottu just gave you
[04:04] <coz_> Darkyyy,   is it there?
[04:04] <Darkyyy> coz_, yes thanks alot :D
[04:05] <CrashRoX> Okay, thanks
[04:05] <Darkyyy> was i a good student ?
[04:05] <maco> CrashRoX: or go through hardy -> intrepid -> karmic -> jaunty
[04:05] <coz_> Darkyyy,  no problem :)
[04:05] <IdleOne> CrashRoX: no you can upgrade but you will have to go from hardy to intrepid and then jaunty
[04:05] <maco> CrashRoX: wait i fail at alphabetizing
[04:05] <Darkyyy> installed now how do i use it
[04:05] <maco> CrashRoX: or go through hardy -> intrepid -> jaunty
[04:05] <coz_> Darkyyy,  well it will be used by themes that require that engine
[04:05] <CrashRoX> I guess I have heard of worse  things
[04:06] <CrashRoX> thanks
[04:06] <Spaztic_One> Anyone know the terminal command to get my sound turned back on? I had logged out earlier, and when I logged back in, it didn't load. I don't have the icon at the top, and trying to load the sound preferences says that its waiting for the sound system to respond
[04:06] <NotTooSmart> Setup an ubuntu 9.10 install with identical hard drives and selected raid0 but cat /proc/mdstat doesn't show me any information like the manual says it should only a list of possible raid configurations, can anyone provide any insight on how to confirm raid is working properly?
[04:06] <IdleOne> CrashRoX: only exception is when you upgrade from LTS to LTS releases
[04:07] <CrashRoX> I'm considering just rebuilding my slice
[04:08] <CrashRoX> Not sure which will be more painful, ha
[04:08] <Fezzler> Can I put a PCIe x1 card into a PCI3 x16 slot?
[04:08] <Fezzler> Firewire card
[04:08] <maco> Fezzler: those arent even shaped the same, are they?
[04:09] <Spaztic_One> Fezzler: Yes
[04:09] <maco> Spaztic_One: the closest thing to a single command that would "turn sound back on" is the command to kill all sound stuff, unload the sound drivers, and reload the sound drivers. that is "sudo alsa force-reload"
[04:09] <Fezzler> maco>> I thought I read online that larger slots accept smaller cards
[04:09] <Spaztic_One> PCI-e fit into the same size, and larger PCI-e slots.
[04:10] <Spaztic_One> Fezzler: They do
[04:10] <Fezzler> Spaztic_One>> Do these card get their own power cable?  They are not powered by MB?
[04:10] <maco> Spaztic_One: however thats quite a shot in the dark, as youve given no debugging info hatsoever
[04:10] <Spaztic_One> maco: thanks
[04:10] <maco> *whatsoever
[04:11] <maco> Spaztic_One: though it cant screw anythng up *worse* ;-)
[04:11] <Fezzler> Spaztic_One>> Duh, but would a PCIe x16 firewire card be 16x faster than the PCIe x1?
[04:12] <Spaztic_One> Fezzler: That depends on the card. Most are likely powered through the slot, though if it is a large card, it may require its own power connection from your PSU
[04:12] <maco> Spaztic_One: that command should, theoretically, act like what happens to your sound system when you reboot. except that if youre still logged in it might interfere a bit. id say best to log out, do that in a tty, and log back in
[04:12] <Fezzler> Spa
[04:12] <coz_> Darkyyy,  I may have found some themes for that hold on
[04:12] <Darkyyy> i found already
[04:12] <Darkyyy> emerald and smooth
[04:13] <^lance^> My system locked up and I hard rebooted (hit the power button).  Now if I try to login at the gdm prompt I get a black screen and it cycles back to the gdm login screen.  No patches or updates are involved, and I was able to login as a different user at the gdm prompt
[04:13] <Fezzler> Spaztic_One>> Box says, "Built-in 4-pin power connection for receiving "extra" power supply from system."
[04:13] <NotTooSmart> Setup an ubuntu 9.10 install with identical hard drives and selected raid0 but cat /proc/mdstat doesn't show me any information like the manual says it should only a list of possible raid configurations, can anyone provide any insight on how to confirm raid is working properly?

[04:13] <coz_> ubunewb,  yep
[04:13] <coz_> ubunewb,  what happened?
[04:13] <Spaztic_One> Ok, so, that didn't work. lol
[04:13] <Circs> Howdy, I'm having issues with youtube videos flickering during playback on a fresh install of 9.10 UNR, any recommendations?
[04:14] <^lance^> I'm trying to see what I need to fix so that my original user can login, but so far the answers I am reading talk about reconfiguring the nvidia drivers, installing a new kernel, or other things that are clearly not the right answer here
[04:14] <Spaztic_One> and it did shut down firefox
[04:14] <Spaztic_One> so I poofed.
[04:14] <Fezzler> Spaztic_One>> I guess the extra power is needed if one was chaining all 63 devices?  :)
[04:14] <ubunewb> coz_: Hey! So I did what you said, update-grub and rebooted. There isnt an entry of vista in the menu.lst file :(
[04:14] <Spaztic_One> lol
[04:14] <coz_> ubunewb,  ooooo
[04:14] <IdleOne> dabid: if you would like to chat you can join #ubuntu-offtopic. this channel is for ubuntu support
[04:15] <coz_> ubunewb,   ok then I am going to direct you to the #grub  channel.... let them know you went through the posted  link for reinstalling grub2 on ubuntu   let them know the outcome
[04:15] <ubunewb> coz_: Cool. Thanks for all the help man :)
[04:15] <coz_> ubunewb,  they should know if there is an issue with  vista  and grub2
[04:15] <Spaztic_One> maco: Well, what kind of debugging info do you need?
[04:15] <coz_> ubunewb,  i will lurk to listen in :)
[04:15] <ubunewb> coz_: Oh cool :)
[04:15] <Jordan_U> ubunewb: grub2 does not user menu.lst, it uses grub.cfg
[04:16] <Spaztic_One> maco: I'm still new to the linux kernel and Ubuntu in general, however I'm a reasonably experienced computer user otherwise.
[04:16] <corvus> holaaaaaaaa
[04:16] <NotTooSmart> Setup an ubuntu 9.10 install with identical hard drives and selected raid0 but cat /proc/mdstat doesn't show me any information like the manual says it should only a list of possible raid configurations, can anyone provide any insight on how to confirm raid is working properly?
[04:16] <maco> Spaztic_One: if you want to try to find out what's actually going wrong, the output of http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh is a start, though really if it worked before i'd suspect some process is hogging the sound card, in which case that force-reload would do the trick of killing whatever's hogging the card right now
[04:16] <corvus> trt65656
[04:17] <puser> I am in Update Manager. It shows me all of the updates that I need to download, I just need to click install updates,
[04:17] <corvus> heellloooo
[04:17] <puser> ...but, right above the list of updates, a message, saying: "New distribution release 9.04 is available" (I have 8.10 installed). If I click on Upgrade button on that message, will it start upgrading right away, or give also show me the listing of all the updates that need to be downloaded and the size, and if it's too big, I can go ahead and update the 8.10 version instead?
[04:17] <Spaztic_One> maco: Its not that its being hogged, as far as I can tell, its that it just didn't load.
[04:18] <maco> Spaztic_One: the drivers are loaded on boot, not on login. though pulseaudio could be doing something silly
[04:18] <Spaztic_One> ah
[04:18] <IdleOne> puser: if you click the new release available button it will ask you to confirm before actually installing
[04:18] <maco> Spaztic_One: there's an fuser command that can tell what all is using sound devices. however, i dont have it memorized. :(
[04:18] <Spaztic_One> maco: Then a reboot would probably be the simplest remedy?
[04:19] <Spaztic_One> Assuming it works
[04:19] <maco> Spaztic_One: yep
[04:19] <Spaztic_One> Alright, then I shall return.
[04:19] <maco> Spaztic_One: though that force-reload should, like i said, do what a reboot would
[04:19] <puser> IdleOne: Will it show me the size that needs to be downloaded?
[04:19] <Spaztic_One> Well, it hasn't thus far.
[04:19] <maco> Spaztic_One: ah ok
[04:19] <^lance^> so no one knows why one user would get kicked back to the login screen in gdm, but other users can login fine?
[04:19] <IdleOne> puser: I believe it will
[04:20] <NotTooSmart> Setup an ubuntu 9.10 install with identical hard drives and selected raid0 but cat /proc/mdstat doesn't show me any information like the manual says it should only a list of possible raid configurations, can anyone provide any insight on how to confirm raid is working properly?
[04:20] <Flannel> ^lance^: Thats got something to do with your gnome config or startup (at login) settings making things go south.  Try "failsafe gnome" at GDM
[04:20] <CrashRoX> Is the python 2.6 the default on Ubuntu 9.10  ?
[04:21] <^lance^> Flannel, is that a session choice or where do I pick that
[04:21] <IdleOne> CrashRoX: 2.6.4-0ubuntu2
[04:21] <Flannel> ^lance^: Under sessions, yeah.
[04:21] <IdleOne> CrashRoX: so yes
[04:21] <CrashRoX> perfect, thanks
[04:21] <CrashRoX> the main reason for my upgrade :)
[04:21] <IdleOne> CrashRoX: ohhh wait, this is a Lucid install I am on so maybe not
[04:22] <john> how is that lucid install?
[04:22] <^lance^> Flannel, it makes sense that that would go south.. I'm actually having a seperate problem where gnome seems to keep remembering my sessions after I unchecked that feature
[04:22] <^lance^> flannel I'll try that and brb
[04:22] <CrashRoX> is there a way to see the list of distros for each ubuntu package?
[04:22] <john> pretty buggy or ok?
[04:22] <maco> CrashRoX: list of distros? you want to know what package sets include that package?
[04:23] <Flannel> ^lance^: If failsafe doesn't work, you'll rename your gnome dotfiles (makes them not findable--as good as gone) and login.
[04:23] <IdleOne> john WFM, your mileage may vary more support and discussion in #ubuntu+1
[04:23] <CrashRoX> yup. Want to verify the python version in 9.04 and 9.10
[04:23] <IdleOne> CrashRoX: packages.ubuntu.com
[04:23] <maco> CrashRoX: best i can think of is "apt-cache rdepends <package>" to see what depends on it. maybe grep for "-desktop"
[04:23] <Guest22584> i can't mount devices. i keep getting this error "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.PermissionDenied"
[04:23] <john> i was just going to say packages.ubuntu.com
[04:23] <Flannel> CrashRoX: packages.ubuntu.com can tell you
[04:23] <CrashRoX> thanks
[04:24] <puser> Idle One: I just clicked on Release Available Upgrade button, it presented me with "Release Notes" and "Cancel" "Upgrade" buttons, when I click on "Upgrade" from "Release Notes" will it still come up with the confirmation and the size to be downloaded? I am just afraid that if the size is too big and starts installing without confirmation, It will be too long. I still want to upgrade, but...
[04:24] <puser> ...when I will have more time to devote to it.
[04:24] <IdleOne> puser: NO that upgrade button will start the process
[04:24] <IdleOne> puser: the upgrade usually takes me about 1.5 hours
[04:25] <NotTooSmart> so no one here knows how to confirm raid is active?
[04:25] <Spaztic_One> maco: Yeah, it didn't load sound... this is bizarre.
[04:25] <CrashRoX> found what I needed. Thanks for the help.
[04:25] <puser> IdleOne: on your connection, not when you have 40-80Kbit/sec
[04:25] <maco> Spaztic_One: it worked on your previous boot until you logged out?
[04:25] <Spaztic_One> Yeah.
[04:25] <puser> It took me 3 days to download the previous 800Mb update.
[04:26] <IdleOne> puser: that is why I said it takes me 1.5 hours. I don't know what it will take you :)
[04:26] <puser> IdleOne: what speed do you have?
[04:26] <IdleOne> puser: well then you may want to wait till you have more time
[04:26] <Spaztic_One> maco: I logged out because I was playing with things and my workspaces got messed up, so I logged out and back in to see if that would resolve the graphical issue, and it did, however the sound stopped working.
[04:27] <puser> so I can count about how bug the upgrade is.
[04:27] <IdleOne> I get around 750-800 mBits/sec
[04:27] <maco> IdleOne: apt-get and --download-only maybe? then ctrl+c and restart over and over til all downloaded, then dpkg --configure -a? maybe?
[04:27] <puser> IdleOne: mBits or KBits?
[04:27] <IdleOne> mBits
[04:27] <maco> IdleOne: in order to batch the downloading... ? think thatd work?
[04:27] <IdleOne> maco: I have no idea
[04:27] <Spaztic_One> also, maco, flash audio (youtube) was working. Since the full restart, flash is not producing audio.
[04:27] <Okidesu> How to get pulse audio and alsa version ? grep or something ?
[04:28] <maco> IdleOne: wait you have nearly gigabit net access?
[04:28] <IdleOne> maco: I guess so :)
[04:28] <IdleOne> that is what i get
[04:28] <puser> IdleOne: da#n, I can only dream about that speed.
[04:28] <mib_mib> hey guys, i just installed nginx into /etc/nginx from source, how do i get a script into /etc/init.d/nginx that i can run start and stop on?
[04:28] <IdleOne> I find it slow lol
[04:28] <maco> puser: id agree with IdleOne on 1.5hr, but my net access is nominally 10Mbit but really more like 150Kbit
[04:28] <hmw1> In the System Monitor/File Systems Tab, what is the difference between "Free" and "Available" Disk Space?
[04:29] <IdleOne> see now you got me questioning my numbers.
[04:29]  * IdleOne tests
[04:29] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne: do a speedtest.net and post a link to the results.. i'm curious to see those speeds
[04:29] <NotTooSmart> Setup an ubuntu 9.10 install with identical hard drives and selected raid0 but cat /proc/mdstat doesn't show me any information like the manual says it should only a list of possible raid configurations, can anyone provide any insight on how to confirm raid is working properly?
[04:29] <maco> Spaztic_One: flash couldve been what was hogging sound ;-)  this is sounding like flash & pulseaudio having negative reactions to each other...  :-/ can you file a bug?
[04:30] <puser> IdleOne: I would find it slow if I was on it for a couple of months, but not yet.
[04:30] <puser> So, If I click on "Upgrade" from the "Release Notes", and it starts downloading upgrades, will it be possible for me to cancel it in the middle and go back to update manager and just do the regular updates after that, or I will be stuck with the Upgrade?
[04:30] <Circs> Is there a fix for flickering embedded flash content yet?
[04:30] <maco> IdleOne: 10Mbit access in the US is $30/month when you get the special half-off signup deal
[04:30] <maco> puser: youll be stuck with the upgrade
[04:30] <bargaunmart> hey man what time is it?
[04:30] <Spaztic_One> maco: Yes, well, if that were true, wouldn't the command you gave me have resolved that? Also, wouldn't rebooting resolve it if nothing else, not make it to where nothing can make sound?
[04:30] <Semitones> @now
[04:31] <maco> puser: you could cancel mid-download and restart the downloading later by re-pressing that button
[04:31] <IdleOne> [URL=http://www.speedtest.net][IMG]http://www.speedtest.net/result/750159544.png[/IMG][/URL]
[04:31] <bastid_raZor> maco: i get 10Mbit for 80$/mo now. in the US
[04:31] <maco> puser: then when you're ready to devote an hour to watching teh packages actually install, actually let it finish
[04:31] <bargaunmart> welp it can bt that l8 on the pacific coast
[04:31] <IdleOne> 6.64Mbits Download, upload blows chunks
[04:31] <maco> bastid_raZor: like i said, $30 is when you get the special signup deal ;-)
[04:31] <bargaunmart> lol cant be that is
[04:31] <Okidesu> How to get pulse audio and alsa version ? grep or something ?
[04:32] <Prestidigitonium> how do i move the home and temp directory to the hdd?
[04:32] <maco> Okidesu: dpkg -l pulseaudio
[04:32] <devil> how do I change the kernel?
[04:32] <bastid_raZor> maco: sadly, the sign up deal is only 3 or 6 month deal.
[04:32] <Okidesu> maco,  thanks
[04:32] <IdleOne> http://www.speedtest.net/result/750159544.png maco bastid_raZor
[04:32] <maco> bastid_raZor: yep
[04:32] <puser> maco: OK, my biggest concern is the download size. is it about 4.5Gb, like the DVD, or it will upgrade only installed components, just like the update does?
[04:32] <maco> Okidesu: for alsa... look at /proc/asound/version maybe?
[04:33] <Prestidigitonium> i finally have the gui booting from sd card. and ready to do a little more set up before i lock the sd card
[04:33] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne: that is nearly identical what i get on my laptop.. my desktop gets full 10MB speeds and 1.1MB upload
[04:33] <maco> puser: only installed components
[04:33] <Okidesu> maco will do thanks :)
[04:33] <IdleOne> bastid_raZor: it's slow :( I want more speed but my ISP are thieves
[04:33] <ng0n> --
[04:33] <devil> how do I change the kernel?
[04:33] <maco> IdleOne: ok 6 is a *much* more reasonable number than 750
[04:33] <ng0n> thieves !  how so ?
[04:34] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne: you have cable or DSL?
[04:34] <IdleOne> maco: yeah, well it still takes me 1.5 hours I just used the wrong acronym
[04:34] <IdleOne> bastid_raZor: dsl
[04:34] <ng0n> i got adsl.  1.3 megabit dl.
[04:34] <bastid_raZor> IdleOne: you should get a bit better upload than that..
[04:34] <ng0n> ok fer the price.
[04:34] <paranoidphreak> hi everybody, i have copied some audio files to my new ipod classic thru rhythmbox and when i unplug the device, there's nothing in audio section under song; can anyone help me with this problem please?
[04:34] <puser> I am living in a far-east north, pretty much the arctic, where is the only available _unlimited_ internet access is variable between 10-100 Kbit/s (usually 60Kbit).
[04:34] <IdleOne> ng0n: they charge to much
[04:34] <maco> devil: to a supported update of the current one? by installing your updates. to a supported new release? by upgrading to a new release of ubuntu.  to an unsupported release? by compiling it
[04:35] <ng0n> puser: where are u xactly ?
[04:35] <maco> paranoidphreak: what version of ubuntu are you using? perhaps need a newer version of libgpod
[04:35] <rifter> whoever it was that just helped me with my login problem as ^lance^, thank you.  logging into failsafe worked, and after I logged out I could log in normally.  My startup applications aren't starting up now, but at least neither are those old sessions.  My alsamixer was inexplicably muted too.  so it looks like some kind of preferences got corrupted.  But I'm good enough to call myself sorted
[04:35] <Spaztic_One> maco: what did you want me to do with the file at http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-driver.git;a=blob_plain;f=utils/alsa-info.sh
[04:35] <puser> maco: I can go ahead with the upgrade, skipping regular updates and it will not brake anything, or do I have to update everything first, then do the upgrade?
[04:36] <paranoidphreak> maco: jaunty
[04:36] <maco> puser: generally best to start with a reasonably up to date system...
[04:36] <ng0n> o. ok. Stockholm.  great town.
[04:36] <maco> paranoidphreak: likely need karmic's libgpod. grab it from http://packages.ubuntu.com
[04:36] <puser> Chukotka. Far-east of Russia. We have fast internet in Russia, jut in Chukotka is the communication hole.
[04:37] <maco> Spaztic_One: save it, run it, give me the url it gives you. or file a but and the same info will be attached to the bug report
[04:37] <ng0n> chukotka.  ok.  tnx.
[04:37] <paranoidphreak> maco: thanks
[04:37] <puser> maco: so you are suggesting to update first and then do the upgrade?
[04:37] <Spaztic_One> saved, ran, and it gave me a file, not a URL
[04:38] <maco> puser: yeah
[04:38] <Damascene> hello, when I mount private folder manually I get it mounted but I can't read the data. is it because the password is wrong?
[04:38] <puser> maco: ok, thanx
[04:39] <kmilo_666> hola
[04:39] <kmilo_666> alguien que hable español !!!
[04:39] <kmilo_666> necesito ayuda
[04:39] <maco> !es | kmilo_666
[04:39] <ng0n> puser: what u doing where you are ?
[04:40] <ng0n> in ﻿Chukotka
[04:40] <puser> ng0n: Do you mean, what's my work, or why do I live that far?
[04:40] <ng0n> both.
[04:41] <ng0n> no offense.  just curious.
[04:41] <oliver3> I have Sun's Java 1.6u15 installed from the official apt repos. Anyone know why Nimbus isn't shipped with it?
[04:41] <ng0n> are you Russian ?
[04:41] <BalSak> hi guys. sure this has come up before, but I'll ask anyway.
[04:41] <ng0n> or traveling ?
[04:42] <coz_> oliver3,   I am not sure... someon here might know
[04:42] <BalSak> on all my boxes, there are periods when the interface simply becomes unresponsive, even though I may have ample resources available
[04:42] <oliver3> coz_, that's why I asked in here. :P
[04:42] <ng0n> haha
[04:42] <coz_> oliver3,  I did find this however   http://www.vinodlive.com/2007/08/20/make-your-ubuntu-desktop-more-beautiful/
[04:42] <oliver3> BalSak, are you running Wine with an ATI video card?
[04:43] <puser> ng0n: I am a freelance programmer. I lived here with parents from 1st grade then, after finishing school, I moved to the mainland. lived there for several years, came back here to visit my parents. My parents moved here, because during soviet union, here were the most high payed jobs.
[04:43] <BalSak> oliver3: not rinning wine, nvidia card, but I get the same issue on a machine running ati
[04:43] <BalSak> as well as my netbook
[04:43] <puser> ng0n: Yes, I am Russian
[04:43] <coz_> oliver3,  although I am not sure I personally would appreciate nibus :)
[04:43] <mikeru> Firefox is totally not working. for it to work, I have to delete my .mozilla/firefox dir everytime before launch, otherwise the only thing that pops up in the terminal is
[04:43] <mikeru> (firefox-bin:29765): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
[04:44] <mikeru> therefore, losing all my bookmarks
[04:44] <Spaztic_One> BalSak and oliver3 :: I'm using ATI (and occasionally WINE) What is this issue in case i ever run across it?
[04:44] <oliver3> coz_, thanks, but that doesn't help. The problem is with a Java application, Netbeans, which is causing me problems with the GTK Java Swing look and feel. I don't mind Nimbus, but only want to use it for one Java app.
[04:45] <puser> ng0n: to visit my parents for a couple of years. :)
[04:45] <coz_> oliver3,  mm I understand.... well I know I cant help with this....if no one can answer that here right now you might want to try either  #ubuntu-dev  << carefully or   ##linux channels
[04:45] <BalSak> Spaztic_One: I use my system(s) per usual, but ocassionally the entire interface, or some apps simply lock up/freeze for a period, then come right & carry on as if nothing happenned. even something as simple as a terminal
[04:45] <oliver3> Spaztic_One, I have no idea what causes it, haven't found a solution. But on my machine with a Radeon HD4670 and fglrx, whenever I run a wine application, xorg takes 100% CPU usage for a while. I can stop it by switching to a VT and back... it's very odd. It seems to be related to Wine creating windows, other than that I know nothing.
[04:45] <Spaztic_One> Interesting. I have not had this problem.
[04:45] <oliver3> thanks coz_, I appreciate it
[04:46] <Circs> Embedded flash videos flicker excessively during playback on my fresh install of 9.10 UNR, is there anything I can do to fix this?
[04:46] <coz_> oliver3,  I just didnt want you to sit around while you waited for some response :)
[04:46] <oliver3> BalSak, symptoms are the same as what I experience with wine + fglrx, perhaps they're related in some obnoxious way.
[04:46] <BalSak> Spaztic_One: I have about 4 or 5 machines I regularly use, and it's pretty wide-spread. nothing in dmesg...
[04:46] <oliver3> coz_, thanks :)
[04:46]  * mikeru has a weird problem with firefox.
[04:47] <BalSak> oliver3: general window manager prob, maybe....
[04:47] <Spaztic_One> maco: So, what do I do with the text file? You said attach it in a bug report, where do I go to report bugs?
[04:47] <oliver3> BalSak, perhaps
[04:47] <oliver3> BalSak, do you use compiz?
[04:47] <maco> Spaztic_One: well let me see the link so maybe i can figure it out right now
[04:47] <Spaztic_One> maco: Also, what do I do in the mean time? I would like to be able to listen to music and stuff
[04:47] <oliver3> My problem was /worse/ when I used compiz, but wasn't eradicated.
[04:47] <Spaztic_One> maco: Link?
[04:47] <oliver3> wasn't eradicated when I used metacity*
[04:47] <puser> Circs: That could be some codec problem. It could be a different problem on Linux, but I had similar problem with avi playing in windows untill I removed bad codec, called Fun-Box.
[04:48] <BalSak> oliver3: yea & a variation thereof on NBR
[04:48] <maco> Spaztic_One: the script, when run, should output a link to your terminal...
[04:48] <BalSak> oliver3: but I find compiz to be pretty usefull. may have to diss it if it's the cause
[04:48] <Circs> puser, The only things I have done so far are updates and install the adobe flash plugin
[04:48] <Spaztic_One> maco: The closest things to links it output were file address on my machine.
[04:48] <oliver3> BalSak, sounds like it could be a compiz problem then. At least in part. Does your problem go away when you switch to metacity?
[04:48] <Circs> puser, And install xchat
[04:48] <maco> Spaztic_One: er... what did you type?
[04:49] <BalSak> oliver3: not tried it yet. will do with next hang.
[04:49] <BalSak> anyhow guys, thanks for the pointers. I'll keep compiz under consideration next time it happens
[04:49] <Spaztic_One> maco: '/home/spaz/Downloads/utils-alsa-info.sh'     single quotes included
[04:49] <BalSak> bb
[04:49] <oliver3> BalSak, something that comes to mind actually. There was recently a new (official) nvidia driver released, which caused a lot of overheating problems and bricked a number of cards, perhaps that could be the problem?
[04:49] <oliver3> Oh he left
[04:50] <shazbotmcnasty> lol
[04:50] <shazbotmcnasty> don't you love that?
[04:50] <shazbotmcnasty> NO >> offtopic

[04:50] <today> hi every one, i installed art-manager now, how to work with art-manager man?
[04:50] <Antisoche> This Kubuntu install is kicking my butt...
[04:50] <shazbotmcnasty> Antisoche, you cannot let that happen.
[04:50] <shazbotmcnasty> You must kick its but
[04:51] <shazbotmcnasty> tt
[04:51] <oliver3> Anyone know what the minimum RAM for a Kubuntu box is?
[04:51] <oliver3> Where minimum == enough that it doesn't suck
[04:51] <shazbotmcnasty> like 2
[04:51] <shazbotmcnasty> no, I have no idea.
[04:51] <shazbotmcnasty> srry I'm bored out of my mind
[04:51] <Spaztic_One> maco: here is copy-pasta from my terminal : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/7qQ2qNp5
[04:51] <today> how install themes via art-manager man?
[04:51] <Circs> oliver3, I would say 512 is workable depending upon expectations and 1gig should be acceptable in most any situation
[04:51] <bastid_raZor> oliver3: 386 is the very least.. probably 512 to get a fair amount of visual and things working
[04:52] <Spaztic_One> maco: er, lines from 27 on can be ignored.
[04:52] <oliver3> Thanks guys, it's only for a VM for now. So I can check KDE 4 out, haven't even touched it since the initial release.
[04:52] <Antisoche> shazbotmcnasty: I finally got it to put two encrypted filesystems in an excrypted RAID partition, but now grub2 refuses to install saying there's no mapping for 'md1' (my RAID-1 '/' partition)
[04:53] <Circs> oliver3, In that case 768 should be a happy compromise that will still allow you to get a good feel for it without overtaxing things
[04:53] <shazbotmcnasty> Kick. Its. Butt.
[04:53] <maco> oliver3: i upgraded from 2gb to 4gb because i was swapping/thrashing too much. i apparently have a crazy way of using my system. i know kubuntu is snappy on one of the other kubuntu dev's systems, and he has like 768mb or 1gb memory
[04:53] <puser> Circs: I am not a pro at linux @ all, I just moved from windows a month ago (where I was pro :) ). I was just thinking about similarity. The problem, that you are having, might not be caused by a buggy graphics driver or a codec.
[04:53] <puser> btw, I just remembered, that when I just installed my Ubuntu, 1st, installed the graphics driver and enabled Compiz (effects), I had the same problem playing any video file (flickering). Turning off compiz (effects) removed flickering. Then, when I updated my graphics drivers to the latest version, the flickering disappeared even with compiz on. I have ATI card.
[04:53] <Antisoche> The LiveCD doesn't have mdadm.  :(
[04:53] <oliver3> Circs, insufficient funds means I only have 2GB atm, I run a lot of other apps too, so I'll give it 512meg for now. If it's choppy will up it and hope for the best. Thanks for your help. :-)
[04:54] <oliver3> maco, I too have that crazy way of using my system :P
[04:54] <maco> oliver3: by "crazy" i mean firefox alone uses more than 768mb ;-)
[04:54] <oliver3> maco, ah, I switched to Chrome
[04:54] <Circs> puser, Yeah I thought for sure that a thoroughly dell/intel netbook would make my life easier
[04:54] <oliver3> ;)
[04:55] <Guest90173> er
[04:56] <Guest90173> where do i go to find help to get flex 3 builder to work in ubuntu 9.10
[04:56] <NotTooSmart> 768mb ?
[04:56] <tdunlap> I'm trying quickly -- not a python or gtk programmer.  I have a drawing area in a scroll window, but the scroll bars don't actually move the drawings
[04:56] <oliver3> Guest90173, Adobe
[04:56] <noemi> can I use ntfs partition for a home partition on ubuntu?
[04:56] <Guest90173> i've done adobe
[04:56] <oliver3> noemi, no
[04:57] <Guest90173> the create new flex project freezes
[04:57] <mib_mib> ah so i installed something from source to /usr/local/sbin, but it created a bunch of crap, is there some easy way to delete the installed crap?
[04:57] <oliver3> noemi, if you need access to your files in Windows, you could use an ext3 partition for your /home, then use the ext2fs Windows driver to read/write your files in Windows.
[04:57] <noemi> can I use an ntfs partition for a home partition in ubuntu?
[04:58] <maco> mib_mib: still have the build directory around? should be "sudo make uninstall" i think
[04:58] <Spaztic_One> maco? You still with me?
[04:58] <oliver3> mib_mib, did you use a configure script?
[04:58] <mib_mib> maco: i installed using phusion passenger gem from ruby
[04:58] <maco> mib_mib: oh. no idea how ruby gems work. sorry.
[04:58] <maco> Spaztic_One: looking
[04:58] <Spaztic_One> alright
[04:58] <mib_mib> maco: hehe cool thx n e wya
[04:59] <physics> how to insatall a software for a specific user
[04:59] <mib_mib> maco: what does /usr/local/sbin have it in by default? maybe i can just delete those folders it created
[04:59] <stooj> Am I missing something with grub? I'm trying to get it to show the menu. I've edited the /etc/default/grub file and run update-grub. I also have a menu.lst file (don't know why) so I altered that just in case. But the menu is still not showing up.
[04:59] <puser> Circs: what graphics card do you have. Do you have Compiz enabled, do you have your graphics card driver updated?
[04:59] <maco> Spaztic_One: oooh looks like the script has changed. ok well http://paste.ubuntu.com can you paste the contents of that file into that page?
[04:59] <maco> mib_mib: empty
[04:59] <progre55> hi people! I had changed my password to my keyring, but now I remember know how to change it back :)  any suggestions, please?
[04:59] <maco> mib_mib: /usr/local/* are all empty directories by default
[04:59] <mib_mib> maco: okay nice i guess i can just rm -rf
[05:00] <Zenker> does anyone know where the themes are stored for appearances?
[05:00] <maco> progre55: applications -> accessories -> encryption something-or-other.... click the keyring, right click and somewhere in there is a change password option
[05:00] <Circs> puser, Well i just found a way around it, I upgraded firefox and the problem went away, certainly not ideal and something really should be done (for example if I had been prone to seizures I could be in trouble atm) it is working
[05:00] <Guest90173>  <oliver3> is there a chatroom or something u can point me to
[05:00] <Spaztic_One> maco, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/xC7TpEV0
[05:01] <physics> how can i install a software for a specifice user using package manager
[05:01] <Spaztic_One> maco, as a note, I don't know why its not able to identify my processor. things have been able to previously, probably has nothing to do with the matters at hand though.
[05:01] <oliver3> Guest90173, AFAIK Flex is a proprietary Adobe product. It's not likely anybody in the FOSS community will be able to help, especially here. You might want to try Adobe's forums.
[05:02] <puser> Circs: I am not prone to seizures, but that flickering was annoing and I didn't want to sacrifice the compiz effects :)
[05:02] <Zenker> i have the emerald themer and i'd like to import on of the themes i saved into it, does anyone know where the theme would be saved 2?
[05:02] <Guest90173> cool thanks
[05:02] <coz_> Zenker,   /home/yourname/.emerald
[05:03] <Zenker> thank you coz
[05:03] <progre55> maco: got it! thanks man, appreciate!
[05:03] <Circs> puser, Sure i found it annoying but frankly I am more concerned for others, because what has annoyed me could be very very bad for someone else
[05:03] <Zenker> for some reason i didnt think of showing hidden files :)
[05:04] <orb01> hey, I have an iPod nano I want to work with on 9.10. It's listed four times in mtab, and I can't delete files from it in amaroK on gtkpod (it says it did it, but when remounting they're still there)
[05:05] <oliver3> orb01, you might want to check whether gtkpod supports your generation of iPod.
[05:05] <maco> Spaztic_One: oh! you have LOTS of sound devices!
[05:06] <Spaztic_One> Maco: I do? Is 3 lots?
[05:06] <maco> Spaztic_One: more than the usual 1 ;-)
[05:06] <orb01> oliver3: yes, it should be fully supported
[05:06] <oliver3> Does anyone know why the Nimbus Java look & feel isn't shipped with the sun-java6-jre Ubuntu package?
[05:06] <maco> Spaztic_One: try using pavucontrol to control which device the sound is coming out of. it might be trying to come out of the one that doesnt currently have speakers attached or something
[05:06] <orb01> if I edit mtab, do those changes feed through immediately?
[05:06] <oliver3> orb01, you might want to ask the devs, it might be a bug.
[05:06] <Spaztic_One> maco: Ah, well, I have my onboard, a sound card, and a HDMI thing on my graphics card.
[05:06] <Zenker> dang it only saves the settings for a theme i modified :(
[05:07] <orb01> oliver3: thanks, don't think that's it though, amarok doesn't work with it either
[05:07] <oliver3> orb01, afaik mtab is used as a reference for mount, you probably don't want to manually edit it.
[05:07] <abhifx> hi i have installed screenlets, which also pops in kde desktop too.. hw can i force it to start in gnome only?
[05:07] <has_rb> anyone here famliar with shell scripting?
[05:07] <orb01> oliver3: I'll try a plain old reboot then to get rid of the entries ;)
[05:07] <oliver3> :)
[05:07] <has_rb> Need to be able to extract a tar.gz and then store the extracted folder into a variable or rename the folder
[05:07] <has_rb> *extracted folder name
[05:07] <oliver3> has_rb, man tar
[05:08] <has_rb> oliver3: I already looked there
[05:08] <maco> abhifx: remove it from system settings -> advanced tab -> autostart ?
[05:08] <oliver3> has_rb, that tells you have to extract a .tar.gz file
[05:08] <has_rb> oliver3: the only thing tar can do is extract to a directory
[05:08] <has_rb> oliver3: i know how to extract a tar
[05:08] <has_rb> that wasn't the question
[05:08] <has_rb> tar -xvzf some.tar.gz
[05:08] <Spaztic_One> maco: pavucontrol is erroring. It says "Connection failed: Connection refused"
[05:08] <oliver3> has_rb, what do you want to do exactly? Rephrase your question.
[05:08] <mib_mib> i installed this script (http://articles.slicehost.com/2009/3/4/ubuntu-intrepid-adding-an-nginx-init-script) to do /etc/init.d/nginx stop, but it isn't stopping nginx, when i run it the output is: "Stopping nginx: nginx.",
[05:08] <Spaztic_One> maco: I did have to install it first, by the way.
[05:09] <mib_mib> and yet the processes are still alive and well
[05:09] <has_rb> so when I extract the somefile.tar.gz the main directory it extracts into is somefile-0.1.2(basically the version number) and I need to be able to then cd into that directory
[05:09] <maco> Spaztic_One: is pulseaudio running? "ps -ef | grep pulse" does i show anything?
[05:09] <maco> Spaztic_One: if not, try running "start-pulseaudio-x11"
[05:09] <Spaztic_One> I think I disabled pulse audio at some point
[05:09] <maco> oooh
[05:10] <Spaztic_One> someone / guide said to
[05:10] <oliver3> has_rb, there is no guarantee that a tar archive will extract into a single directory. If you want that, use the -C option (but your contents will be under a further subdirectory).
[05:10] <maco> i have no idea how to control which device gets used without using pulseaudio to do that
[05:10] <Spaztic_One> ah
[05:10] <maco> and yeah, there are a lot of people who pretend that removing pulseaudio fixes every sound problem EVAR
[05:10] <maco> and that its like the most evilest baby-eating thing ever
[05:10] <has_rb> oliver3: yeah I saw the -C option but that doesn't help really. Can I store the result of a ls | grep some and use that? or is there some other way to change the directory name dynamically
[05:10] <Spaztic_One> lol
[05:11] <Spaztic_One> well, it helped until I logged out lol
[05:11] <Spaztic_One> oh shit
[05:11] <maco> i think if you can setup a custom .asoundrc you can setup where sound should default route to... but i dont know how to do that, and i think its the old deprecated way :-/
[05:11] <maco> Spaztic_One: watch language
[05:12] <has_rb> or maybe get the name of the first file in a directory
[05:12] <Spaztic_One> I apparently pasted the wrong thing into the terminal, and I have no idea what happened.
[05:12] <Spaztic_One> a large amount of text got dumped
[05:12] <oliver3> has_rb, a tar archive isn't guaranteed to contain a directory which contains other directories and files. It may contain a single file, many files with no directory structure etc. After the file is extracted, you'd then have to manually check the output. Unless you can write programs you're out of luck.
[05:12] <goose> I want Ubuntu to automatically reconnect to my wireless router if it gets disconnected. How can I do this?
[05:12] <abhifx> maco, thx for replying... but wont that will make it starting up altogether... even in gnome?
[05:13] <Spaztic_One> Ah, it seems that its currently running "aplay"
[05:13] <Spaztic_One> How do I exit that?
[05:13] <maco> abhifx: system settings is a kde thing. it shouldnt affect gnome...
[05:13] <maco> Spaztic_One: the kill command
[05:13] <Marine1> AHOY THERE
[05:13] <Spaztic_One> Which is?
[05:13] <oliver3> has_rb, having a single directory within a tar archive, which is named the same as the tar itself, is merely a convention, not a rule.
[05:13] <maco> Spaztic_One: "kill" ?
[05:14] <Spaztic_One> I figured, but that didn't do anything
[05:14] <maco> Spaztic_One: type "kill PID" where PID is the process id number for the aplay process
[05:14] <Marine1> hello there.  are any of you guys administrators for the download servers for ubuntu?
[05:14] <maco> Spaztic_One: if you need a bigger stick, "kill -9 PID"
[05:14] <abhifx> maco, thx man...
[05:14] <has_rb> oliver3: I know, just trying to think of solutions. quite often the filename isn't the same as the directory which is why I'm trying to programatically figure it out with shell scripting
[05:14] <oliver3> has_rb, bash? info bash
[05:14] <maco> Marine1: i'm not, but whats up? i might know where to point you...
[05:15] <has_rb> oliver3: I'm looking through to see if I find something. I think I'm just going to have the user paste in the extracted filename for now until I find a better solution
[05:15] <has_rb> they will see the output from the tar command
[05:15] <Marine1> well, download speed for ubuntu has been horrendously slow these last few days while trying to get a hold of an ISO
[05:15] <maco> has_rb: um what about "tar --list"?
[05:15] <oliver3> Marine1, try the torrent.
[05:15] <Marine1> torrent you say?
[05:15] <Spaztic_One> maco, that didn't do anything
[05:15] <oliver3> Marine1, yes
[05:16] <maco> Marine1: or try another mirror
[05:16] <maco> Spaztic_One: it didnt kill the aplay process?
[05:16] <Marine1> address for torrent?
[05:16] <Spaztic_One> Eh, I just opened up the system monitor and killed the process fromthere
[05:16] <oliver3> Marine1, it's on the same download page
[05:16] <maco> Spaztic_One: oh. heh...right... mousey things...
[05:17] <Spaztic_One> Yeah
[05:17] <Spaztic_One> Well,
[05:17] <Spaztic_One> I like the terminal
[05:17] <Spaztic_One> anyway
[05:17] <Spaztic_One> "spaz      6391  4070  0 01:16 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto pulse"
[05:18] <Spaztic_One> That's what it said when I did "ps -ef | grep pulse"
[05:18] <orb01> so when I mount my iPod nano it gets mounted twice: once with devkit and one with hal, anyone know what to do with that?
[05:18] <has_rb> oliver3: hmm yeah that lists all of them so if there is a way to basically split the folders and grab the first one that would work
[05:18] <bastid_raZor> Marine1: 64bit or 32bit and 9.10?
[05:18] <oliver3> Marine1, Alternative download options, including Ubuntu installer for Windows -> Bit Torrent
[05:18] <bastid_raZor> http://releases.ubuntu.com/
[05:18] <maco> Spaztic_One: k so that means no, pulse isnt running, which makes sense since you disabled. if its still installed, run "start-pulseaudio-x11" and see how using pavucontrol helps. if its not, install it then do that.  if pavucontrol fooling around still doesnt make things go, file a bug "ubuntu-bug alsa-base"
[05:19] <oliver3> has_rb, I didn't post the --list reply sorry. :P
[05:19] <maco> Spaztic_One: im about to fall asleep on my keyboard, so i hope thats a decent push in the right direction
[05:19] <Spaztic_One> (also, I need to learn to exit programs that I ran in the terminal, such as aplay)
[05:19] <has_rb> maco: do you know how to store the output of that and parse through it?
[05:19] <Marine1> well, i'm not quite sure.  i'll be using it as a virtual machine on Windows Server 2008 R2 to run an additional Folding@Home client
[05:19] <Spaztic_One> Hopefully
[05:19] <Marine1> so whatever fits that bill best
[05:19] <maco> Spaztic_One: the break signal is "crrl+c"
[05:19] <maco> Spaztic_One: er, ctrl
[05:19] <Spaztic_One> Ah, that's right
[05:20] <maco> has_rb: can bash do arrays?
[05:20] <Spaztic_One> I knew that yesterday, but apparently forgot
[05:20] <Spaztic_One> lol
[05:20] <maco> has_rb: for i in $(tar -t file.tar) ; do BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH ; done
[05:20] <has_rb> maco: haven't seen anything no
[05:20] <has_rb> maco: do you know if there is a split function?
[05:20] <maco> has_rb: where $i, when you readh BLAAAAAAAAHHHH, should refer to a single file in that list
[05:20] <has_rb> maco: I know I'm asking a lot of bash scripting
[05:21] <chai23> i cant get flash plugin to work on either firefox or chrome. right now i installed xp in virtualbox just to watch videos, but plz tell me how to get it to work. Im on 8.04
[05:21] <maco> has_rb: so like... for i in $(tar -t file.tar) ; do echo "filename: $i" ; done
[05:23] <thansen-e1705> does deb differentiate between what gets installed as deps and what you *actually* want to install?
[05:23] <Spaztic_One> maco, it seems to be closer, but its only showing two of my output devices
[05:23] <thansen-e1705> or is there anyway to achieve that?...
[05:23] <has_rb> maco: ahh the first file it lists is the top level directory, I can use that then, sweet
[05:24] <oliver3> It seems Sun's java is using the OpenJDK classes... anyone know wtf that would happen?
[05:24] <Antisoche> What's the command to access an encrypted partition?
[05:24] <oliver3> chai23, install the package flashplugin-installer
[05:25] <chai23> oliver3: thanks i will try it out

[05:35] <Antisoche> Jon-: It's something like --   ls -1 | sort -d' ' +n 1   -- check the manpage for 'sort' for details.  To go to a file, just append  --  >filename.txt

[05:40] <oliver3> chai23, no problem. I see you're running an older version of Ubuntu, it's possible the newest version of flash was put in the backports repository. Uncomment (remove the #) from the lies starting "# deb", and "# deb-src", the first ones from the bottom of the file up. Rerun apt-get update, and you might be in luck
[05:40] <cicada> MobiusJedi : which package should i search for?
[05:40] <theadmin> gluonman: Huh, they do work in xterm, just cd "/home/you/some directory", works for me. OR escape spaces like this: cd /home/you/some\ directory
[05:40] <Antisoche> Jordan_U: It makes no diference if I say force, and I am using GRUB 1.98(-1ubuntu1)
[05:41] <kkerwin> chai23, Jordan_U: Thank you both.
[05:41] <gluonman> theadmin, not xterm, xgterm.
[05:41] <gluonman> theadmin, I'm using iraf.
[05:41] <theadmin> gluonman: Oh boy. What the heck is that lol
[05:41] <chai23> oliver3: alright here goes
[05:41] <geoffmcc> is it unsafe to not assign a password to a ssh key so i can not have to enter a pw or should i add a pw and figure out how to script the entry of it
[05:41] <oliver3> chai23, you'll have to edit the file as a superuser, you can run the command "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list", from the terminal to do so.
[05:41] <Losha> Jon-: install and use msort. It allows you to sort fields counting from the right (man msort, see -n)
[05:41] <gluonman> theadmin, for astronomyu
[05:41] <gluonman> -u
[05:42] <Antisoche> When did people go changing the syntax of sort, btw?
[05:42] <MobiusJedi> cicada: hold on, i'll see if i can find it
[05:42] <oliver3> geoffmcc, so long as you don't give anybody your private key you're good to go.
[05:42] <Losha> Antisoche: my sort man page says nothing about sorting fields counting from the right...
[05:42] <theadmin> gluonman: Hm. Well, i told two ways i know, either quoting or escaping spaces
[05:42] <Jordan_U> Antisoche: What is the output of "mdadm -Q /dev/md1"?
[05:42] <cicada> MobiusJedi : Thanks a bunch dude ;)
[05:42] <oliver3> Losha, he said msort
[05:42] <MaxHR> Hello, is there a way to download the restricted packages and prop drivers using a winxp computer, and copy them to my ubuntu  computer to install? I have dialup at home, and have a winxp laptop that I could use to get the packs on fast wifi
[05:43] <defn> How do I check the version of bind on my machine?
[05:43] <gluonman> theadmin, yeah. I'm familiar with those methods, but running iraf with xgterm doesn't like that at all.
[05:43] <theadmin> gluonman: Kinda weird
[05:43] <chai23> oliver3: yep, already "sudo gedit" it. waiting for headers again. jeez
[05:43] <Antisoche> Jordan_U: /dev/md1: 23.63GiB raid1 2 devices, 0 spares.
[05:43] <theadmin> gluonman: Does it work if you just cd without any quotes and stuff?
[05:43] <Jordan_U> !offline | MaxHR
[05:43] <gluonman> theadmin, it's only bash in the sense that it takes in foreign tasks.
[05:43] <Prestidigitonium> still having issues moving my home dir. any help?
[05:43] <gluonman> theadmin, no it doesn't work that way.
[05:43] <babylinux> can ubuntu be mini-installed?
[05:43] <oliver3> chai23, ok
[05:43] <Antisoche> Jordan_U: It's ext4 and also has a UUID, despite what the error message says
[05:44] <Jon-> I have a collection of movies that are all stored in the same folder with the subfolder name formatted as: movie name here [year]  I want to run a command that will order these by date (ie sort by year) and then pipe output to some text file..
[05:44] <coz_> MaxHR,    http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-restricted-extras
[05:44] <Losha> oliver3: *I* said 'msort', Antisoche said 'sort'...
[05:44] <MobiusJedi> cicada: there's a package called computertemp for cpu and disk. . . don't know about gpu and mobo tho
[05:44] <Jon-> Losha: I will look over msorts manpage as I wait for alternatives.
[05:44] <Jordan_U> Antisoche: I was hoping -Q would list the metadata version, do you know what metadata version you are using?
[05:44] <MaxHR> Jordan_U: righton, good feature
[05:45] <MaxHR> coz_: will check that our also, thx
[05:45] <coz_> MaxHR,  you might have to download all of the pacakges listed there and run them on the ubuntu install
[05:45] <Antisoche> Losha: I guess I don't understand the problem...
[05:45] <cicada> MobiusJedi : thanks, going to have a look
[05:45] <coz_> MaxHR,  many of the pacakes should be available via that web site
[05:45] <Antisoche> Jordan_U: With --detail it says Version: 00.90
[05:45] <kintaro> h
[05:46] <Antisoche> ... and also has a UUID
[05:46] <oliver3> Losha, I do apologise. :(
[05:46] <Losha> Antisoche: the year is the rightmost field, not a fixed place, because the movie titles are variable length...
[05:46] <Losha> oliver3: no matter...
[05:46] <shazbotmcnasty> MobiusJedi, How do I use computertemp?
[05:46] <shazbotmcnasty> I installed it
[05:46] <shazbotmcnasty> now I can't use!!
[05:46] <MobiusJedi> cicada: also sensors-applet and lm-sensors
[05:46] <Jordan_U> Antisoche: Odd, can you try adding "--recheck" to grub-install? ( not likely to help but can't hurt )
[05:46] <Antisoche> Losha: Is there no fixed delimiter before the year, like a '/'?
[05:47] <Spaztic_One> anyone know why the system monitor reports CPS usages over 100% ?
[05:47] <MaxHR> coz_: what about prop drivers?
[05:47] <maco> Spaztic_One: dual core
[05:47] <MobiusJedi> shazbotmcnasty: sorry, never tried to use it, just know it's available
[05:47] <maco> Spaztic_One: 100% per cpu
[05:47] <oliver3> geoffmcc, it also helps your cause if you ask all questions in here, because somebody /else/ might know the answer, and give it to you sooner.
[05:47] <Antisoche> Jordan_U: Same error
[05:47] <coz_> MaxHR,  for which video card?
[05:47] <maco> Spaztic_One: so on dual core 200% = max
[05:47] <Spaztic_One> Interesting.
[05:47] <MaxHR> coz_: nvidia 6300
[05:47] <Losha> Jon-: something like: msort -n -1 -c n file.txt > results.txt
[05:47] <Jordan_U> Antisoche: Are you running this from a liveCD?
[05:48] <Losha> Antisoche: no fixed delimiter was mentioned...
[05:48] <Spaztic_One> so, are all apps on linux dual core compatible then?
[05:48] <coz_> MaxHR,  i quickly found this one but is an older driver   ...let me see if I can find a more current one hold on   http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/nvidia-glx-185
[05:48] <Antisoche> Jordan_U: I am now.  Kubuntu Lucid alpha 3.  The installer is completely broken so I just trudged through using today's daily build.
[05:48] <Losha> Jon-: something like: msort -n -1 -c n file.txt > results.txt   --- i.e. sort numerically on the rightmost field on each line
[05:48] <maco> Spaztic_One: the kernel is compiled in ubuntu with SMP support. how well a program can use 2 cores depends on if its threaded. threading is not guaranteed. thats per-application
[05:48] <Jordan_U> Spaztic_One: All apps will work with dual core CPUs, but many will only utilize one core at a time.
[05:48] <JEEBsv> Spaztic_One: not all apps can use both cores, but you see how much one app uses of the whole 200%
[05:49] <theadmin> Hi, someone posted a link to apt.apturl.com a while ago, is there anything like that for Karmic?
[05:49] <coz_> MaxHR,  although those drivers should work
[05:49] <maco> Spaztic_One: most toolkits have at least some support for threadng (though maybe just enough to work and update a progress bar at the same time)
[05:49] <Jordan_U> Antisoche: Were you running grub-install in a chroot?
[05:49] <Spaztic_One> Thats what I thought (to all of you)
[05:50] <Antisoche> Losha: I dunno.  It looks like '[' may be a delimiter
[05:50] <Antisoche> Jordan_U: I am currently chrooted into /target, yes.
[05:50] <MaxHR> coz_: thx, I will try that first
[05:50] <coz_> MaxHR,   that seems to be the one I can find
[05:50] <Spaztic_One> so, if running a windows program that I know could only utilize a single thread in WINE, does it become capable of multi-threading?
[05:50] <coz_> MaxHR,  it should work without a problem
[05:50] <Antisoche> Jordan_U: And I've mounted /dev and /proc
[05:50] <Jordan_U> Antisoche: Are /dev /proc and /sys mounted in the chroot?
[05:50] <maco> Spaztic_One: shouldnt
[05:50] <Spaztic_One> Reason why I ask is that both CPUs are reporting about 90% usage
[05:51] <Losha> Spaztic_One: yes, if compatible means, run on only one core ....
[05:51] <Antisoche> Jordan_U: I mounted /sys ... same deal
[05:51] <Copperred> Question: is there a way to make all the icons on my desktop the smallest they can be without having to "stretch" each one to its minimum size?
[05:51] <Jon-> Losha: Keeps telling me there are no records to process. Syntax correct?
[05:51] <Spaztic_One> Then I'm confused by what is happening, lol
[05:52] <Antisoche> Jon-: So you have "mpg1 [1990]" and "mpg2 [1990]" and "mpg3 [1992]", etc?
[05:52] <Losha> Antisoche: true...
[05:53] <Jordan_U> Antisoche: Can you pastebin the output of "grub-install --debug /dev/md1" ?
[05:53] <Jon-> Antisoche: Directories actually, with names
[05:53] <Copperred> Question: is there a way to make all the icons on my desktop the smallest they can be without having to "stretch" each one to its minimum size?
[05:53] <Antisoche> Jon-: ok.  is the format as described, with [] around the year?
[05:53] <Spaztic_One> the resource tab is reporting 75-85% CPU usage on both threads, and the processes tab is reporting 65-90 processor usage for the one program, and listing various other things that are using much smaller amounts (2,6,12,22)
[05:54] <rabbit1> cannot install komodo edit in ubuntu hardy x64 bit, error: install.sh: 48: ./INSTALLDIR/lib/python/bin/python: not found
[05:54] <Antisoche> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/ubv9YfBf
[05:54] <Spaztic_One> Things don't seem as if they are adding up right, or correlating appropriately
[05:54] <Jon-> Antisoche: Yes.
[05:54] <Losha> Jon-: er, I'm not clear on what part of the name is in the directory and what part is in the file name...
[05:55] <Copperred> Hello all................... is there a way to make all the icons on my desktop (or throughout the computer) the smallest they can be without having to "stretch" each one to its minimum size?
[05:55] <Jon-> Losha: I simply want a list of the directories sorted by the [year] at the end of the directories
[05:55] <oliver3> chai23, problem solved?
[05:55] <Losha> Jon-: so you actually want to sort directory names, not file names?
[05:55] <chai23> oliver3: no, same error unfortunately
[05:55] <geoffmcc> if i wanted my website to redirect to my server install setup for backups if down would this be done threw dns or threw some apache configuration?
[05:56] <masu3701> cant play dvd on my pc, but i can play music...do i need to install somthin?
[05:56] <masu3701> i did install vlc but still not working
[05:56] <chai23> no installation candidate...
[05:56] <theadmin> masu3701: install libdvdcss2
[05:56] <Jon-> Losha: Yes, I am trying to sort the contents of an ls like ls | someSortCommand
[05:56] <rgoytacaz> hey
[05:57] <Antisoche> Jon-: ls -1 | sort -t "[" -k 2 -k 1
[05:57] <rgoytacaz> is there a way to create a shadow of my current ubuntu installation?
[05:57] <masu3701> theadmin: what is that? a dvd player?
[05:57] <Losha> Jon-: then I think Antisoche was right all along...
[05:57] <theadmin> masu3701: A dvd decoding library for VLC
[05:57] <oliver3> chai23, very strange. You could always install it from Adobe's site, they offer a .deb download now. So it's as simple as a few clicks.
[05:57] <masu3701> in windows xp?
[05:57] <Jordan_U> Antisoche: Could you please file a bug report?
[05:57] <Spaztic_One> in linux
[05:57] <chai23> oliver3: i went to adobe's site and DLed the .deb for ubuntu 8.04+ and it said that adobe-flashplugin already installed. still nothing flash works in any web browser
[05:58] <Antisoche> Jordan_U: against grub2 ?
[05:58] <Jordan_U> Antisoche: Yes.
[05:58] <Jon-> Antisoche: Thank you
[05:58] <theadmin> masu3701: ...lolwut? XP VLC plays DVD stuff fine, but for the Linux version you will need libdvdcss2 thingy
[05:58] <oliver3> chai23, did you restart all of your browsers? (Including any smaller windows, such as Firefox's downloads window)
[05:58] <masu3701> am runin xp
[05:58] <Losha> Antisoche: my hat is off to you...
[05:58] <Spaztic_One> If you're running XP, why are you in #Ubuntu ?
[05:59] <Antisoche> Jon-: np
[05:59] <Antisoche> Jordan_U: How do I file bugs?  'reportbug' ?
[05:59] <masu3701> theadmin: i cant even see the dvd when i put it in the drive
[05:59] <masu3701> Spaztic_one: cause i have another pc...
[05:59] <theadmin> masu3701: Err, see, like in Places menu/My Computer thing?
[06:00] <chai23> oliver3: yes, every time
[06:00] <Jordan_U> Antisoche: ubuntu-bug grub2
[06:00] <oliver3> chai23, do you have Chrome?
[06:00] <masu3701> theadmin: it cant be the drivers right? cause i can play music
[06:00] <theadmin> masu3701: Wait wait, what do you mean by "see"
[06:00] <chai23> oliver3: yes, been testing this whole thing with ff though. will try chrome, i like both
[06:00] <Copperred> Hello all................... is there a way to make all the icons on my desktop (or throughout the computer) the smallest they can be without having to "stretch" each one to its minimum size?
[06:01] <oliver3> chai23, let me know if Chrome works. If not, check if Flash is listed in the web page "about:plugins", without the quotes.
[06:01] <Antisoche> Jordan_U: It's telling me grub2 doesn't exist.  Just go for grub then?
[06:01] <masu3701> theadmin: when i do to my computer...under cd/dvd and double click on it...nothing in it
[06:01] <Maletor> Is it worth it to use a nameserver already set up or should I set up BIND9 on my computer?
[06:01] <chai23> oliver3: haha stupid smiley face. will check
[06:01] <theadmin> masu3701: It's a bad disc.
[06:01] <theadmin> Hm.
[06:01] <Antisoche> Jordan_U: Also, how long is that pastebin good for?  Should I c&p the log into the error report or just that URL ?
[06:02] <theadmin> I try to report a bug with ubuntu-bug and it tells me that it can't connect somewhere
[06:02] <oliver3> chai23, smiley face?
[06:02] <masu3701> theadmin: you think so? cause the same 2 disc i try were working b4 i reinstall the OS
[06:02] <Jordan_U> Antisoche: ubuntu-bug grub-pc ( I thought it would take the source package name but I guess not )
[06:02] <theadmin> Launchpad opens fine though
[06:02] <Losha> Maletor: no reason to run a nameserver unless you actually are responsible for some part of a domain...
[06:02] <hmw> how can i copy all files of a whole directory tree (hidden included) to somewhere else?
[06:02] <theadmin> masu3701: Oh. Well, i dunno. But why do you ask it in #ubuntu anyway if you are running XP?
[06:03] <Prestidigitonium> which dirs which require write access should i move off the sd card to the hdd besides /home and /tmp?
[06:03] <chai23> when you said "about:plugins" it inserted a smiley face. i guess we are using different irc clients
[06:03] <researcher1> Does anybody here know if  Ubutnu has a software similar to Power ISO or Magic ISO of Windows? So that we can  avoid writing but  just mount CD to use  it directly from ISO?
[06:03] <Maletor> Losha: I want to buy mydomain.com and then i want to host it (and run apache) but the quetsion is do i use dyndns.com 's nameservers or make my own it point it to there...
[06:03] <oliver3> chai23, ah, yes.
[06:03] <Jordan_U> !iso | researcher1
[06:03] <me> can someone help me i have a texlive error
[06:03] <oliver3> researcher1, mount -o loop /path/to/iso /path/to/mountpoint
[06:04] <Jordan_U> researcher1: You can also right click it and choose "Open with archive mounter"
[06:04] <hmw> can Nautilus copy all files of a whole directory tree (hidden included) to somewhere else?
[06:04] <Antisoche> Jordan_U: ubuntu-bug gives me cannot connect errors.  Just like theadmin says
[06:04] <wilbur2010> can someone tell me how to show hidden files on the desktop
[06:04] <theadmin> hmw: Uh, sure. Ctrl+H, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, change directory, Ctrl+V?
[06:04] <Guest51746> can some one help me? please i have a texlive error
[06:04] <Losha> Maletor: I would use dyndns until/unless it's clear you need to run your own. The less you have to maintain, the better. Plus if you run it, you're a single point of failure. Presumably they have redundant servers...
[06:04] <Jon-> How do I configure Ubuntu to only send volume out of the headphone jack when one is connected? I've poked around in System > Prefs > Sounds but I can't quite find the levels to adjust...
[06:04] <wilbur2010> or possibly delete hidden file on the desktop
[06:04] <researcher1> can I try archieve mounter?
[06:05] <Losha> hmw: check out cp -a (man cp)...
[06:05] <Maletor> Right, but my computer is a server...
[06:05] <magedragon25> can someone help...I used brasero to copy a movie....dvd to .iso to double layer dvd....and it came out as a coaster.....
[06:05] <Guest51746> texlive
[06:05] <theadmin> Losha: He wantzit in nautilus
[06:05] <Guest51746> texlive
[06:05] <Guest51746> texlive
[06:05] <FloodBot4> Guest51746: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:05] <Jordan_U> researcher1: Of course.
[06:05] <ZykoticK9> Antisoche, ubuntu-bug currently has a bug with Launchpad and isn't working see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/538097
[06:05] <researcher1> when I try to use an ISO with achieve mounter nothing seems to happen
[06:05] <hmw> Losha: i read the man page... seemingly overlooked that switch... thanks
[06:05] <Antisoche> ZykoticK9: how frustrating
[06:05] <hmw> Losha: i was assuming, cp would copy all files :)
[06:06] <Guest51746> help
[06:06] <Guest51746> please
[06:06] <Maletor> Losha: my computer is a server...
[06:06] <ZykoticK9> theadmin, see by post to Antisoche
[06:06] <Losha> magedragon25: brasero has more bugs than an anthill. Try k3b, and burn the dvd slowly....
[06:06] <magedragon25> thanx
[06:06] <Jordan_U> researcher1: It should show up in the Places menu.
[06:06] <Antisoche> There seems to be a lot of work left to get the Lucid install up to snuff...
[06:06] <oliver3> Guest51746, if you want help you must have a problem. For us to help, we must know your problem.
[06:06] <ZykoticK9> Antisoche, especially with Lucid Beta coming up in a couple of days!
[06:06] <Guest51746> i cant install texlive base
[06:06] <theadmin> ZykoticK9: Ah, i see. Actually, uh, CAN i report bugs in someway?
[06:06] <researcher1> Yes it does
[06:06] <theadmin> !details | Guest51746
[06:07] <Guest51746> one sec
[06:07] <Losha> Antisoche: karmic was released before it was ready. Why would lucid be any different...
[06:07] <Jon-> How do I configure Ubuntu to only send volume out of the headphone jack when one is connected? I've poked around in System > Prefs > Sounds but I can't quite find the levels to adjust... (appolgies if previously answered.. plugging in a VGA cable crashed GNOME ;))
[06:07] <magedragon25> will k3b rip a commercial dvd too?
[06:07] <Guest51746> im trying to install jokosher
[06:07] <Guest51746> and various other programs
[06:07] <ZykoticK9> theadmin, manually add the bug to Launchpad then use apport-collect bug_number < or something similar to that, haven't used it myself
[06:07] <Guest51746> but alas everytime ...texlive wont install
[06:07] <oliver3> Who wanted the DVD ripping help? I cleared my screen accidentally.
[06:08] <Losha> Maletor: I understand, but it's one less thing to install/maintain/support. It's up to you....
[06:08] <magedragon25> oliver3: me
[06:08] <Jordan_U> Antisoche: You should really be in #ubuntu+1 for lucid questions, also #grub is a good place to ask since the person who wrote that code is there ( though possably not at the moment ).
[06:08] <Guest51746> yeah
[06:08] <theadmin> ZykoticK9: Bleh. They have to fix this. Manually adding never has enough info
[06:08] <oliver3> magedragon25, you could try thoggen. I don't know if k3b is capable of it. Thoggen will work.
[06:08] <Guest51746> i have work at 9:oo am
[06:08] <Maletor> I don't care about install/maintain/support - I just want to know if there are going to be major performance differences Losha
[06:08] <ZykoticK9> theadmin, ya i'd wait on the fix, but that's just me
[06:09] <Guest51746> can anyone i dentify my issue
[06:09] <Antisoche> Jordan_U: Good points.  Thanks.  It's 2:15AM though, I will have to continue this tomorrow.
[06:09] <chai23> oliver3: http://imgur.com/MDnCk everywhere i go i am asked to get or update my flashplugin
[06:09] <charlestonw> hola todos
[06:09] <oliver3> magedragon25, I believe it's limited to vorbis/theora files though. Which is a very good format, but not as compatible (will run in almost all free/open source apps though).
[06:09] <magedragon25> oliver3: can i get that thru synaptic?
[06:09] <rabbit1> cannot install komodo edit in ubuntu hardy x64 bit, error: install.sh: 48: ./INSTALLDIR/lib/python/bin/python: not found
[06:09] <Losha> Maletor: I would expect dyndns to work better. They can afford more bandwidth than you, and redundant servers...
[06:09] <Guest51746> oliver3: can you help me
[06:09] <oliver3> magedragon25, yes.
[06:09] <charlestonw> yo soy nuevo en todo esto y la verdad no puedo copiar una carpeta que esta en descargas a la carpeta share
[06:09] <magedragon25> oliver3:thanx
[06:09] <charlestonw> como lo hago
[06:09] <theadmin> !es | charlestonw
[06:09] <oliver3> Guest51746, what was your problem? If you said before, I cleared my screen by mistake so you'll have to tell me again.
[06:10] <charlestonw> ok gracias
[06:10] <oliver3> magedragon25, no problem
[06:10] <oliver3> chai23, looking now
[06:10] <Guest51746> i keep getting istallation errors for texlive
[06:10] <theadmin> Why do spanish people go here more often then, say, russian ones? It seems everybody except them knows where to go for language-specific support :/
[06:10] <Guest51746> i need to install some production software
[06:10] <chai23> oliver3: ok
[06:10] <oliver3> chai23, you have the same version as me. Which website isn't working?
[06:11] <oliver3> Guest51746, what errors? Can you paste the output of apt-get install texlive-base to pastebin.com please? Thanks.
[06:11] <chai23> oliver3: lockerz.com
[06:11] <Losha> theadmin: Dunno. More spanish speakers than russians in the world? No-one expects anyone else to speak Russian...
[06:11] <oliver3> chai23, does the video on the homepage not work?
[06:12] <theadmin> Losha: I speak russian here ;) And russia is like, uh, huge

[06:13] <chai23> oliver3: surprisingly the blog video on the homepage works, however any video under the play tab does not
[06:13] <oliver3> Guest51746, it helps if you prefix things you say with the nickname of the person who is helping you. That way the line of text is highlighted and it's easier to see.

[06:13] <oliver3> chai23, does youtube/other flash sites work?
[06:13] <theadmin> Guest51746: Ah, it seems that you have a broken package system. Can you try "sudo apt-get -f install" and see if that fixes it?
[06:13] <pwnkiller> no sound need help

[06:14] <chai23> oliver3: yes, now youtube works. ill try some others to check

[06:14] <oliver3> Guest51746, run "apt-get -f install", pastebin the output. Thanks.
[06:14] <oliver3> chai23, it seems that it's a problem with Lockerz and not flash in that case. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
[06:14] <theadmin> Guest51746: And also, if you pastebin stuff, at least link us to it :/
[06:14] <Losha> theadmin: Dunno. And seriously off-topic...
[06:15] <theadmin> Losha: Yeah, well, cutting it out

[06:16] <pwnkiller> hello
[06:16] <oliver3> chai23, you can run IE using wine if you really really want to, obviously I wouldn't suggest it. You might want to do a web search for "ies4linux"
[06:16] <adired> hello
[06:17] <theadmin> Guest51746: do "sudo apt-get -f install"
[06:17] <Guest51746> oliver can you help?
[06:17] <pwnkiller> i aint getting sound on internet need help
[06:17] <chai23> theadmin: i do have wine... sounds like it is an unpopular option, haha wonder why. checking out ies4linux now
[06:17] <Guest51746> it may be complicated for me
[06:17] <Jon-> I don't see any setting related to power management for this: I am trying to watch a movie with VLC full screened and every 5 (maybe 10?) minutes the display starts to dim. How do I set it so it never dims?
[06:17] <theadmin> Guest51746: No, just paste that into the Terminal, enter your password, done
[06:17] <Jon-> [dims -> totally off not just a little]
[06:17] <oliver3> Guest51746, yes. But you'll need to help yourself too. You must say my full nickname for it to be highlighted, it's only by chance I saw you then. Also a full link please?
[06:18] <theadmin> Jon-: Uh, your screensaver, check it, it might be set to "Blank screen"

[06:18] <ZykoticK9> chai23, it appears that lockerz.com is working with my chromium and ubuntu-restricted-extras flash install?  just sayin'
[06:18] <oliver3> Guest51746, perfect, taking a look now.
[06:18] <Jon-> theadmin: fml.. thanks
[06:18] <Guest51746> sankyoo
[06:18] <Guest51746> thanks.
[06:19] <coz_> Guest51746,  close synaptic pacakge manager
[06:19] <oliver3> Guest51746, you need to use sudo, run "sudo apt-get -f install", instead of "apt-get -f install".
[06:19] <ZykoticK9> chai23, ummm, perhaps not...
[06:19] <Jon-> theadmin: I figured it was handled through power management like Windows is. I guess it's a bug that VLC causes computer to think it isn't "idle". Thanks
[06:19] <coz_> Guest51746,  aslo use sudo apt-get install -f
[06:19] <Jon-> theadmin: Or is idle I suppose* Anyway, thanks
[06:19] <chai23> ﻿ZykoticK9: i already tried insalling that, doesnt work on 8.04, and 9.10 has boot problems with my pc
[06:20] <theadmin> Jon-: np
[06:20] <oliver3> Guest51746, sudo means "superuser do". Because apt makes system-wide changes, you have to run it as a super user, otherwise it will refuse to work.
[06:20] <ZykoticK9> chai23, doesn't matter - videos aren't playing - rest of the site seem to work fine though...
[06:20] <theadmin> oliver3: Actually, "Switch User DO", but whatever
[06:20] <budah> hey guys
[06:20] <oliver3> theadmin, ah, thanks
[06:20] <oliver3> :P
[06:21] <chai23> night everyone. oliver3 and ﻿ZykoticK9 thanks for help
[06:21] <oliver3> night chai23, anytime :-)
[06:21] <oliver3> aw
[06:21] <Guest51746> oliver3 its moving mighty slow
[06:21] <oliver3> Guest51746, that's okay. Just let me know when it's finished.
[06:21] <Copperred> Hello all................... is there a way to make all the icons on my desktop (or throughout the computer) the smallest they can be without having to "stretch" each one to its minimum size?
[06:21] <Guest51746> oliver3 right on
[06:22] <Guest51746> copperhead it depends
[06:22] <Copperred> ?
[06:22] <Guest51746> what is you desktop environment
[06:22] <theadmin> Copperred: I can only say, dig around in gconf, maybe somewhere in /apps/nautilus/desktop
[06:23] <Copperred> presently gnome basic which came with ubuntu
[06:23] <Copperred> i am willing to change it ot something
[06:23] <Copperred> fi u recommend.
[06:23] <darkk^> What is recommended socks5 server for ubuntu? dante-server seems to fork a process per connection - not the best idea.
[06:23] <Guest51746> oliver3 i got another error
[06:24] <rabbit1> ok, now python folder is missing from komodo edit installdir, how do it get that now?
[06:24] <Copperred> Guest51746 is there a better desktop i could choose from that would allow better management of my desktop?
[06:24] <winXPuser> Is there a way to customize position of window buttons on Ubuntu?
[06:24] <Copperred> thanks admin will look.
[06:24] <ZykoticK9> winXPuser, do you mean the minimize maximize close buttons?
[06:24] <oliver3> Guest51746, same procedure please. Paste the output to a pastebin site, give me the link. Generally if you get an error that will be my response. :P
[06:25] <winXPuser> ZykoticK9, yes
[06:25] <ZykoticK9> winXPuser, yes - do you want them on the left side?
[06:25] <Guest51746> http://paste.ubuntu.com/395989/ oliver3
[06:25] <oliver3> winXPuser, if you mean the top corner buttons, then yes. You can do so via a metacity theme, http://www.gnome-look.org might have some resources for you to use, I haven't used that website much though, but it's worth a look.
[06:25] <Guest51746> kde copperrhead
[06:25] <theadmin> What's "/usr/bin/env"?
[06:25] <oliver3> Guest51746, thanks.
[06:25] <Guest51746> kde copperrrhead
[06:25] <ka0tic> how do you install the blanked out screen savers in ubuntu?
[06:26] <winXPuser> ZykoticK9, yes, maybe, or at the bottom, like the handles of my window, is that customizable there?
[06:26] <Copperred> kde...ok will research thanks
[06:26] <Guest51746> kde or xcfe
[06:26] <Guest51746> gnome as well
[06:26] <Copperred> i just need a tighter desktop
[06:26] <Guest51746> right click on desktop
[06:26] <ZykoticK9> winXPuser, don't think there is a way to move them to the bottom i'm affraid - at least not with the default Gnome anyway
[06:26] <Copperred> im litterally 5 days old on ubuntu/linux
[06:27] <Guest51746> oh okay
[06:27] <darkk^> theadmin, tool to show environment or start some code with another environment (man env for details)
[06:27] <Copperred> heard of kde never head of xcfe
[06:27] <winXPuser> ZykoticK9, at 10.4 they're at the left, but at 9.10 they're at the right
[06:27] <winXPuser> ZykoticK9, I want them be at right again, where can I set that?
[06:27] <Guest51746> system-apperance copperrhead
[06:27] <theadmin> Copperred: xfce and KDE are definetly worth a try, but KDE eats like a ton of CPU and RAM and XFCE is kinda ugly
[06:27] <oliver3> Guest51746, run the command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure texlive-base", pastebin the output (error or not).
[06:27] <nagaraja> hai
[06:27] <Copperred> that suxs admin..i like how ubuntu is so fast....and not eating cpu
[06:27] <ZykoticK9> winXPuser, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side and you can play around with the settings for left - you might want to add the "menu" back if you wish
[06:28] <Copperred> what abotu Mac4Lin?  is that a good idea?
[06:28] <darkk^> theadmin, also, it's common to write "#!/usr/bin/env python" instead of "#!/usr/bin/python" to lookup python in PATH instead of hardcoding the path.
[06:28] <theadmin> darkk^: Ah so that's how this can be done! Cool
[06:29] <winXPuser> ZykoticK9, thanks a lot, but do you know the principle of "least surprise"? why the sudden change?
[06:29] <Guest51746> http://paste.ubuntu.com/395991/
[06:29] <theadmin> Copperred: Well, XFCE is intended to be minimal just in case. It looks like GNOME but less... beatiful or s,th
[06:29] <ZykoticK9> winXPuser, no idea!
[06:30] <Guest51746> oliver3 http://paste.ubuntu.com/395991/
[06:30] <oliver3> Guest51746, thanks
[06:30] <Copperred> hmmm
[06:30] <Copperred> ok will research this all out
[06:30] <Copperred> thanks guys
[06:30] <theadmin> winXPuser: :P You will be extremely surprised when you'll see 10.10 "M"
[06:30] <oliver3> Guest51746, try "sudo apt-get remove --purge texlive-base"
[06:31] <theadmin> winXPuser: GNOME 3 is confusing i can tell by just looking at gnome-shell.
[06:31] <Copperred> btw how stable is 10.x? now...should i just upgrade to that now?
[06:31] <oliver3> Guest51746, if that runs without error, try to then install texlive-base.
[06:31] <Flannel> Copperred: It's alpha software still.
[06:31] <oliver3> Copperred, I don't think it's even out of beta. Not 100% though, you could ask in #ubuntu+1
[06:31] <ZykoticK9> Copperred, #ubuntu+1 for Lucid discussion i'm affraid (very frowned upon in this channel)
[06:31] <theadmin> Copperred: No, don't, wait until the release, it's generally not a good idea to use pre-release stage software
[06:31] <theadmin> oliver3: It hasn't even entered beta :D
[06:31] <Copperred> ok
[06:31] <Copperred> ya im a noob
[06:31] <ZykoticK9> oliver3, beat1 in 3 days
[06:31] <Copperred> hehehe
[06:31] <oliver3> theadmin, xD
[06:31] <Copperred> ok
[06:32] <Copperred> bye all see u later!
[06:32] <oliver3> ZykoticK9, nice
[06:32] <Copperred> ciao
[06:32] <FloodBot4> Copperred: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:32] <oliver3> bye Copperred
[06:33] <Guest51746> http://paste.ubuntu.com/395993/ oliver3
[06:33] <oliver3> Guest51746, do NOT say yes to that
[06:33] <Guest51746> oliver3 what does it look like oliver3
[06:34] <oliver3> Guest51746, the command is "sudo apt-get remove --purge texlive-base", NOT "sudo apt-get remove --purge texlive base"
[06:34] <oliver3> Guest51746, the command you executed would remove other programs, that you likely need.
[06:35] <oliver3> Guest51746, did you remove base-files? (i.e., did you say yes to or finish the command you just pasted the output for?)
[06:35] <Guest51746> no oliver3
[06:36] <oliver3> Guest51746, does "aptitude show base-files", say "State: installed"?
[06:36] <oliver3> Guest51746, just to make sure.
[06:36] <Guest51746> i put the correct one oliver3..do i press yes
[06:36] <oliver3> Guest51746, yes
[06:36] <Kman> Morning everyone. Im in the live cd boot of ubuntu trying to backup my data before i try to fix my broken grub. When i enter sudo fsck /win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk in my terminal i get ^The super block could not be read....^
[06:37] <Kman> Any ideas of what i could do about that?
[06:37] <oliver3> Kman, what is the output of "file /win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk"?
[06:37] <Kman> Im trying to backup a wubi install btw..
[06:38] <Kman> oliver3: thanks for your reply. its ^/win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk: ERROR: cannot open `/win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk' (No such file or directory)^
[06:38] <oliver3> Kman, oh I see. e2fsck might work instead of fsck
[06:38] <oliver3> ohhh
[06:39] <sziszi> Kman: the new parteg, gparted etc can't use the ntfs properly(you cant modify it)
[06:39] <Guest51746> oliver3 this is going to sound silly
[06:39] <hoonches> i hear there are some compatibility issues with the i7 "turbo boost" and ubuntu. is there any way to fix this without turning turbo boost off?
[06:39] <oliver3> Kman, you'll probably have to mount the NTFS partition that contains the Ubuntu installation. Figure out where root.disk is from there, then run fsck/e2fsck
[06:39] <oliver3> Guest51746, no such thing
[06:39] <sziszi> but it worked perfectly in past
[06:39] <Guest51746> my hardrive is going..dadada...da.da.dada
[06:40] <oliver3> Guest51746, is that unusual, or the normal sound it makes when it's doing a lot of work? If it's unusually loud, I strongly recommend you backup your files to an external disk (DVD perhaps).
[06:40] <oliver3> Guest51746, might be that your hard disk is about to die
[06:40] <Guest51746> im running karmic on 20 gigs of space...and 256 ram
[06:41] <oliver3> Guest51746, what's the output of "free -m"?
[06:41] <Guest51746> oh....Hits still loading
[06:41] <sziszi> Guest51746: HDD is loud? O-o Back uup! How old is your HDD?
[06:42] <oliver3> Guest51746, sounds like you've used all your RAM, and are now experiencing swapping hell.
[06:42] <researcher1> how can I change permission of a ISO file which is mounted using achieve mounter?
[06:42] <Guest51746> its only 20 gigs
[06:42] <oliver3> Guest51746, either that or your HDD is about to die.
[06:42] <Kman> oliver3: how ca i do that from terminal? Im sorry if thats a stupid question..
[06:42] <oliver3> Kman, do what sorry? Mount an NTFS partition?
[06:42] <Guest51746> hahaha oliver3 is a comedian too
[06:43] <Kman> oliver3: yes, mount the NTFS that contains my wubi install and find root.disk
[06:43] <oliver3> Guest51746, sorry?
[06:43] <Guest51746> i have 2 gis on usb for swap
[06:43] <oliver3> Kman, okay, first you need to find out which disk it is. Then when you know run the command: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g <device> <mountpoint>
[06:44] <sziszi> Guest51746: dont use pendrive for swap! it will kill your pen
[06:44] <oliver3> Guest51746, so you're using no swap on your HDD at all?
[06:44] <knoppies> Guest51746, sziszi not to mention its slower than your HDD.
[06:44] <Guest51746> 2 gigs on a cruzer for my additionall swap space
[06:44] <oliver3> Guest51746, what's the output of the command "free -m"?
[06:45] <snxs> ok can anyone help me set up my nvidia drivers correctly? ive tried a lot of options found on the net and can't get it working.. in fact my res at 640x480.. when it shuld be 1280x1024
[06:45] <Kman> oliver3: Ok. device as in spax and mountpoint as in??
[06:45] <sziszi> knoppies: but not all ;) I saw once 480MB/s pendrive :D
[06:45] <researcher1> once an ISO file is mounted is it possible to change the file permission?
[06:45] <knoppies> sziszi, brand/make and model, I want one of those.
[06:45] <oliver3> Kman, device as in the device file that represents your Windows partition. It's usually something like /dev/sda1
[06:45] <knoppies> snxs, have you tried dpkg (or whatever it is) reconfigure?
[06:45] <oliver3> Kman, mount point as in the directory where you will read/write files from.
[06:45] <Guest51746> its still loading oliver 3
[06:46] <snxs> yea thats what got my screen 640x480
[06:46] <oliver3> Guest51746, the "free", command is still loading?
[06:46] <sziszi> knoppies: the problem is in the limit of the ReadWrite operations
[06:46] <snxs> and on the nvidia x server i cant find my resolution option
[06:46] <knoppies> snxs, thats what fixed mine from 640*480 to something more decent.
[06:47] <Kman> oliver3: That would be my sda1 partition then. But isnt that the device?
[06:47] <Guest51746> http://paste.ubuntu.com/395999/ oliver3
[06:48] <`blackmk4|mac> is it possible to jump start a windows install from being inside windows 98
[06:48] <`blackmk4|mac> the computer i am dealing with has no usb ports or free ide spots
[06:48] <oliver3> Kman, yes that's the device
[06:48] <`blackmk4|mac> and no cd drive or floppy
[06:48] <oliver3> Guest51746, can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? It looks like your HDD is about to die. If you have any valuable data back it up NOW.
[06:48] <knoppies> `blackmk4|mac, the only thing I can think of is a network boot (assuming its got a PXE rom or whatever they called)
[06:49] <`blackmk4|mac> hm
[06:49] <`blackmk4|mac> i can't do anything from inside windows?
[06:49] <Guest51746> i dont have any...i guesse now i die...should i format oliver3
[06:49] <knoppies> `blackmk4|mac, could you not remove an extra HDD or something.
[06:49] <`blackmk4|mac> there is no extra hdd
[06:49] <knoppies> `blackmk4|mac, you might be able to, but nothing that I know about.
[06:49] <`blackmk4|mac> it's an old POS system left over from work
[06:50] <oliver3> Guest51746, if your HDD dies you'll need to send your computer in to be repaired. It's a hardware problem, not a software one.
[06:50] <knoppies> `blackmk4|mac, I like what youve done by using ` as the first character of your name, it makes it easy to tab.
[06:50] <Guest51746> 20 gigs aint worht it oliver3
[06:50] <Kman> oliver3: How do i pick mountpoint then? And go from there to find the root.disk?
[06:50] <`blackmk4|mac> is that sarcasm, or...? ;)
[06:50] <oliver3> Guest51746, your HDD is making loud noises, your root FS is suddenly read-only, and you're having unusual problems with package management.
[06:51] <Guest51746> oliver3: yeah
[06:51] <Guest51746> its bad
[06:51] <knoppies> `blackmk4|mac, Im serious, I genuinely like the ingenuity
[06:51] <oliver3> Kman, the mountpoint is any /empty/ directory. Just pick one. After the command is mounted, your C:\ drive will be accessible under the mount point provided.
[06:51] <ryanprior> Hey there, all. I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop and it looks great, except all the text characters are replaced with boxes. Text looks fine on the LiveCD, but it's bad on the installed system. I tried reinstalling and it didn't help -- what can I do?
[06:51] <Guest51746> my processor is on frits
[06:51] <MobiusJedi> dear linux: how do i fix broken packages from the terminal?
[06:51] <oliver3> MobiusJedi, "sudo apt-get -f install"
[06:51] <knoppies> Kman, oliver3 generally I create a new directory under /mnt/ and mount something to that (assuming I plan on mounting it again in the future)
[06:52] <MobiusJedi> thanks!
[06:52] <Kman> knoppies: thats what i did.
[06:52] <Guest51746> how do you merge partitions
[06:52] <knoppies> Kman, sweet. Great minds think alike.
[06:52] <ranjan> Hai anybody who can Help with setting up asterisk PBX
[06:52] <Kman> knoppies: Thanks anyway ^^
[06:52] <theadmin> Oh, about /mnt... What on earth is it for? I mean, we DO have /media, don't we?
[06:52] <Guest51746> oliver3 how do you merge partions
[06:52] <knoppies> Kman, no problem, anytime.
[06:53] <theadmin> Guest51746: You'll have to boot from a CD with GParted and use that
[06:53] <ranjan> theadmin, /mnt is used to mount remote filesystems like nfs etc
[06:53] <Guest51746> no cd drive
[06:53] <knoppies> theadmin, Its probably a deprecated thing or something, not to mention its nice to have different places to put things.
[06:53] <oliver3> Guest51746, I don't know anything about merging partitions. I usually just make new ones, sorry.
[06:53] <ranjan> theadmin, and /media for removable media connected to machine
[06:53] <knoppies> Guest51746, cant you use a bootbale flash drive?
[06:53] <theadmin> knoppies: I can create a random folder and mount there :/
[06:53] <knoppies> theadmin, so could I, but that wasnt the point.
[06:53] <Guest51746> cant flasf my rom to update
[06:54] <sziszi> Guest51746: parted or gparted... but id you'd like to modify an ntfs patition you wont be able to do it
[06:54] <ranjan> theadmin, whats ur problem?
[06:54] <theadmin> ranjan: Meh. Nothing, just wondering whether it's safe to remove it
[06:54] <ranjan> theadmin, why are you removing /mnt
[06:54] <Guest51746> im done...irack here i come
[06:54] <theadmin> ranjan: What's the point of having an empty folder lol
[06:54] <MobiusJedi> speaking of /mnt. . . my internal ide drives don't mount, and can't be found under places
[06:55] <ranjan> theadmin, its a default thing in the linux filesystem hierarchy
[06:55] <theadmin> ranjan: Oh, omg, then i'd better keep it
[06:55] <ranjan> theadmin, it wont harm you man. :)
[06:55] <`blackmk4|mac> MobiusJedi: what FS are they
[06:55] <`blackmk4|mac> filesystem, sorry
[06:55] <MobiusJedi> ntfs
[06:55] <ranjan> theadmin, it will be useful while working on LAN :)
[06:55] <MobiusJedi> oh. . . that might be part of the problem
[06:55] <`blackmk4|mac> ;)
[06:56] <theadmin> ranjan: Have no lan...
[06:56] <theadmin> ranjan: But i see that it is of some use, so keeping for now
[06:56] <alex1> hello all
[06:56] <sziszi> hi
[06:56] <researcher1> can we change permission of an ISO  file mounted using achieve mounter  ?
[06:56] <hoonches> !hardy
[06:56] <ranjan> theadmin, yea..thats better :)
[06:56] <sinistrad> theadmin, You should leave /mnt there for backwards compatibility in case something goes looking for it
[06:56] <hoonches> is hardy still supported?
[06:56] <Kman> oliver3: Ok.. So whats the directory of my mount point? Is it just /mnt ? Which makes my root /mnt/disks/root.disk ??
[06:56] <`blackmk4|mac> MobiusJedi: you can mount them anyway
[06:56] <alex1> i just released a prgram for ubuntu that helps one to manage bash aliases and functions; heres the ppa: https://launchpad.net/~a1g/+archive/courtesyflush
[06:56] <ranjan> researcher1, just mount it using the mount command
[06:56] <theadmin> hoonches: Yes, until Lucid will be released
[06:57] <Karhu> hi everyone i have a quick question...is it possible to install ubuntu/kubuntu onto an NTFS formatted HDD ?
[06:57] <alex1> its my first quickly public project
[06:57] <wazzaaaaa> right im looking for a stable chat client to video chat over all protocols
[06:57] <sinistrad> Karhu, check on the wubi install
[06:57] <hoonches> does anyone know about the i3 i5 i7 series of processors, turboboost and ubuntu compatibility?
[06:57] <theadmin> Karhu: You can use WUBI but i wouldn't recommend
[06:57] <wazzaaaaa> tried pidgin and empathy
[06:57] <ranjan> Karhu, you can but you should have a separate partition with either ext2,ext3 or ext4 filesystem
[06:57] <Beaver> www.search2.net a new search engine
[06:57] <wazzaaaaa> dosent work very well , any help?
[06:58] <oliver3> Kman, no. Say you have drive C: in Windows, and under Linux that's represented by device /dev/sda1. In Windows, you will have C:\Windows, C:\Program Files, etc. If you mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt/something, you will then have /mnt/something/Windows, /mnt/something/Program Files, understand?
[06:58] <sziszi> wazzaaaaa: emesene?
[06:58] <sziszi> wazzaaaaa: or skype?
[06:58] <ranjan> wazzaaaaa, empathy will work weel.
[06:58] <theadmin> Karhu: Hint, resize your NTFS with GParted and format it to ext4
[06:58] <ranjan> wazzaaaaa, the problem will be with the drivers installed
[06:58] <theadmin> Karhu: Err, it = the unallocated space after resizing
[06:58] <wazzaaaaa> ranjan my webcam works
[06:59] <Karhu> wubi? ok i'll check...its just that i have 1 80Gig drive (my current OS drive) and a 200Gig drive that is already NTFS formatted and contains around 110Gig of stuff i dont want to lose but a good friend really needs a HDD so i would like to be able to give them the 80Gig
[06:59] <ranjan> wazzaaaaa, then whats the problem??
[06:59] <wazzaaaaa> sziszi , something like pidgin with multi protocol..
[06:59] <markw> trying to connect to my new crackberry 8530 with 9.04  my 8330 crackberry worked without issues, this one "cancels" the connection attempt when I try to pair it.  All the googling brings up 2 year old bluetooth info.
[06:59] <theadmin> wazzaaaaa: Hm... Kopete?
[06:59] <wazzaaaaa> ranjan , it says unsuppoeted chat some thing..
[06:59] <sziszi> wazzaaaaa: sry
[06:59] <researcher1> ranjan: I have mounted the ISO but is which is  an .exe which i want to open using wine. This requires the permission of .exe to be changed.
[06:59] <sziszi> theadmin: +1
[07:00] <sinistrad> wazzaaaaa, ranjan, I removed empathy because it provided no way to block ICQ spam. Not everyone will have this problem however. So it might be a good solution.
[07:00] <ranjan> try to mount the iso with $mount and use -o to supply the option
[07:00] <ranjan> researcher1, try to mount the iso with $mount and use -o to supply the option
[07:00] <theadmin> sinistrad: ICQ... :/ Hate those spammers there
[07:00] <researcher1> can u please provide complete command
[07:01] <researcher1> should it be in command terminal?
[07:01] <wazzaaaaa> sinistrad , yes im on pidgin , but the cam thing dosent work very well
[07:01] <theadmin> researcher1: You don't need the exe's to be executable, they are WINE "documents", something like text files for WINE
[07:01] <Karhu> how likely is it that i will lose data if i resize the NTFS partition ?
[07:01] <theadmin> Karhu: Most unlikely.
[07:01] <researcher1> but wine prevent installation from that ISO
[07:01] <Kman> oliver3: I think so yeah.
[07:01] <theadmin> Karhu: If you use GParted, that is, cause some other solutions format for doing so
[07:01] <researcher1> unless permission is changed
[07:02] <sziszi> Karhu: defrag your part. and then resize
[07:02] <Karhu> ok i would be using GParted its my fav pat tool neways lol does kubuntu come with a defrag tool ?
[07:02] <sinistrad> theadmin, Yes, icq spam was getting annoying and I couldn't block with empathy. I went back to pidgin until they get it sorted out.
[07:02] <JoshuaL> hello, i bought a new laptop and when i plug in my external speakers the sound wont play from those speakers but from my laptop
[07:02] <sziszi> Karhu: in the windows?
[07:03] <ryanprior> I just put Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop and it looks great, except all the text characters are replaced with boxes. Text looks fine on the LiveCD, but it's bad on the installed system. I tried reinstalling and it didn't help -- what can I do?
[07:03] <Karhu> im using kubuntu atm on the 80Gig drive
[07:03] <ranjan> researcher1, better mount it as readonly and copy the contents to another directory
[07:03] <researcher1> ranjan: Let me try n report success 2 u soon
[07:03] <theadmin> Karhu: Unfortunately, you can only defrag via Windows so far
[07:03] <ranjan> researcher1, ok great
[07:03] <sziszi> Karhu: to defrag your ntfs part. you'll need some Hiren's Boot CD or smtg to defrag
[07:04] <Karhu> theadmin: there are no defrag tools for linux?
[07:04] <researcher1> Ranjan tahnsk. It worked that way
[07:04] <sziszi> Karhu: true
[07:04] <theadmin> Karhu: Linux filesystems don't fragment so usually it's pointless.
[07:04] <ranjan> ryanprior, in which language did u install
[07:04] <researcher1> Ranjan.Thanks
[07:04] <ryanprior> ranjan: US English.
[07:05] <Karhu> ok so im sorta stuck then lol cause the data on the NTFS drive was put on there and used when i was running windows although its never been used as a running drive its just files i keep there for backup...would it need to be defraged?
[07:06] <snxs> can someone help me, i installed the latest nvidia drivers but on the nvidia x server my resolution option is not found., now following some steps to "fix" this i used sudo nvidia-xconfig and now my resolution is worse, 640x480, can someone help fixing this ?
[07:07] <sziszi> snxs: modify your xorg, write the usable resolutions to it.
[07:07] <Kman> oliver3: So it will be /mnt/ubuntu/disks/root.disk
[07:08] <Kman> ??
[07:08] <snxs> since in my xorg file theres no modes option i add modes and my resolution and doesn't work
[07:08] <sziszi> snxs: do you restarted the xorg server?
[07:08] <oliver3> Kman, depends. Did you mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt/ubuntu? Is the file named C:\disks\root.disk in Windows? If the answer is yes to both of those questions then most likely yes.
[07:10] <snxs> init.d/gdm stop and start
[07:12] <oliver3> Kman, I'll return to help you. But I'm a bit sleep deprived atm, so I'm going to make a coffee and some breakfast. I'll be back in around 15-20 minutes. Sorry if I've seemed a little grouchy. :)
[07:12] <hoonches> !i7
[07:12] <hoonches> does anyone here know about i7 compatibility with ubuntu?
[07:13] <hoonches> i've googled this and it seems there are endless problems
[07:13] <Kman> oliver3: Grouchy? Your helping plenty! Im really just greatful to get help at all man.
[07:14] <JEEBsv> hoonches: "i7 incompatibility"? I've seen multiple machines with linux and i7?
[07:14] <hoonches> JEEBsv: im talking about i7 and ubuntu specifically
[07:14] <JEEBsv> Well... What kind of "incompatibilities" are there? o_O
[07:14] <sziszi> hoonches: why do you need i7? the 3,2 Ghz X4 Phenom is almost the same
[07:15] <JEEBsv> I think Ubuntu is using just somewhat patched debian packages
[07:15] <JEEBsv> so if ubuntu has problems, debian should too
[07:15] <sziszi> JEEBsv: as other linuxes
[07:15] <hoonches> JEEBsv: well, for one thing, turbo boost doesnt work
[07:16] <hoonches> sziszi: what are some comparible processors to the i7 that will work with ubuntu?
[07:16] <JEEBsv> sziszi: if I had the money, I'd get the i7 -- x264 f.ex. has much more optimizations than for anything from AMD atm :3
[07:16] <JEEBsv> hoonches: wait... wasn't the "turbo boost" a bios feature?
[07:16] <hoonches> yes
[07:16] <JEEBsv> I mean a low-level feature that didn't need anything from the OS's side o_O
[07:16] <JEEBsv> Since it just changed clocks etc.
[07:17] <dibs> http://pastie.org/871623  How can I get my packages installing without this error?
[07:17] <hoonches> JEEBsv: google "i7 ubuntu compatible"
[07:17] <Zenker> is Edubuntu included with the Ubuntu 9.10 iso?
[07:18] <Flannel> Zenker: You can install the Edubuntu stuff after you install 'regular' 9.10, or you can download the separate DVD
[07:18] <`blackmk4|mac> is it possible to put a target linux harddrive in another computer
[07:18] <ryanprior> I may have made some headway with my text problem. There is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf on my laptop -- could that cause the graphics driver to be displaying text wrong?
[07:18] <`blackmk4|mac> and mae that harddrive into a bootable installer
[07:18] <ryanprior> How do I switch my laptop to VESA mode?
[07:18] <`blackmk4|mac> and install onto the same hdd
[07:18] <theadmin_away> I'm back everyone
[07:18] <magicjoe> ok, just got xchat working. not familiar with irc at all. can someone tell me how to change channels?
[07:18] <hoonches> does anyone here know about i7 compatibility with ubuntu?
[07:18] <dibs> anyone else had firefox package issues when using synaptic?
[07:18] <hoonches> i've googled this and it seems there are endless problems
[07:19] <Zenker> Flannel is it on the ubuntu cd iso i burned or the repo or is it only a seperat downloadable iso?
[07:19] <ranjan> magicjoe, go to server menu and join channels
[07:19] <magicjoe> where is the server menu?
[07:19] <theadmin> magicjoe: /join #channelname
[07:19] <magicjoe> oh i am using gnome Xchat
[07:20] <Flannel> Zenker: It's not on the Ubuntu CD, no.  It's a separate DVD (not a CD) that you download.  *or* you can install Ubuntu and then turn it into Edubuntu, which might be easier, depending on your situation.
[07:20] <ranjan> magicjoe, i hope u are using xchat
[07:20] <JEEBsv> hoonches: looking at it, I don't really see anything else than some reports that certain motherboards don't work well with kernels older than 2.6.27 or so...
[07:21] <dibs> totally reckon he might be using xchat
[07:21] <Zenker> flannel i see, i just found it in the repo's its for my home desktop, so i guess the one in there will do
[07:22] <ryanprior> Why is all my text showing up as boxes? How could that possibly happen? Could it be graphics-related? How do I find more information?
[07:22] <oliver3> Kman, are you still here?
[07:22] <Kman> oliver3: ill be here until i can backup my files. My life is on the line here ^^
[07:23] <PapaSmurf> hi
[07:23] <ryanprior> I tried logging as failsafe GNOME -- still boxes for text. How can I try using VESA?
[07:23] <oliver3> Kman, alright, wanna PM? It'll probably be easier, I can see me asking a lot of questions to work out exactly what's going on. :P
[07:23] <ryanprior> Does anyone know how to do a hardcore failsafe graphics mode? I want to rule out xorg problems.
[07:23] <PapaSmurf> does any one know an app to retrieve passwords?
[07:23] <Kman> oliver3: Sounds great.
[07:24] <Flannel> PapaSmurf: What sort of passwords?
[07:24] <PapaSmurf> login
[07:24] <theadmin> PapaSmurf: might be in the keyring, i dunno, launch seahorse
[07:24] <PapaSmurf> will check it out ty
[07:24] <Flannel> PapaSmurf: You can't really retrieve them.  You can, however, just set them to something new: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword
[07:25] <JEEBsv> hoonches: phoronix has had i7 benchmarks for quite a while, and there's RAID compatibility -- which is something completely different from the actual CPU... I can't really see anything problematic from the google searches :3
[07:25] <PapaSmurf> that will work
[07:27] <theadmin> Flannel: What's with the "passwd"? I thought it's all done via usermod in some way :/
[07:28] <ryanprior> Darnit, I enabled Vesa mode and the text is still all boxes. Nobody here has a clue what it could be, or has ever seen something like this, or has any better Google queries for me to try, or anything? >.>
[07:28] <Flannel> theadmin: No, usermod won't really do that.
[07:28] <ryanprior> The text is fine when I'm logging in, it has my username and everything, but when I go to my desktop it's all broken!
[07:28] <Flannel> theadmin: "passwd" is the normal way for a user to change their password
[07:29] <theadmin> Flannel: Hm. I see... I even installed crypt, dammit, just because usermod needs the already encrypted password :/
[07:29] <jacksnively> how do i fix my display in ubuntu netbook it wont go to 1024 resolution
[07:29] <sziszi> jacksnively: modify xorg.conf
[07:30] <jacksnively> sziszi im nubile to this
[07:30] <jacksnively> i just typed what you put in the terminal
[07:32] <theadmin> Anyway, anyone noticing that kernel updates HORRIBLY slow the system down?
[07:32] <zaratustra1> When looking for recent releases of ubuntu, is it true that ubuntu server is 64 bit and ubuntu desktop is 32 bit?
[07:33] <JEEBsv> zaratustra1: you can get a 32bit image of the server if you absolutely need it
[07:33] <JEEBsv> the default is 64bit
[07:33] <JEEBsv> and you can get a 64bit image for the normal one
[07:33] <xiong> I did a clean OS install and restored my home folder from backup. Now I find that permissions have changed; executable files are no longer. What did I do wrong?
[07:33] <theadmin> zaratustra1: Just look at releases.ubuntu.com for all images
[07:33] <jacksnively> i just want my resolution changed in netbook this sucks i'm going back to stupid windows
[07:33] <zaratustra1> JEEBsv, you mean there is 64 bit for ubutu desktop ? I did not saw it
[07:34] <theadmin> xiong: chmod +x them back, but that's weird.
[07:34] <Zenker> zaratustral the 64 bit is sweet too, click on the other types of dl's link
[07:34] <xiong> jacksnively, There is an investment required. I promise you that there's a big payoff, too.
[07:34] <ryanprior> jacksnively: good luck, try it again in a few years. :-)
[07:35] <JEEBsv> zaratustra1: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download > Alternative download options
[07:35] <JEEBsv> You can select which version you'll get there.
[07:35] <jacksnively> its that hard to do?
[07:35] <jacksnively> you would think it would be easy
[07:35] <JEEBsv> jacksnively: my netbook got the right resolution by default o_O
[07:35] <jacksnively> to get this program to recognize my monitor
[07:35] <theadmin> zaratustra1: 32-bit Desktop: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso ; 64-bit Desktop: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso ; 32-bit server: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-server-i386.iso ; 64-bit server: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso
[07:35] <xiong> theadmin, Of course I can change permissions one at a time. And I suppose it's too late to do it right, now. Was it stupid to do a straight backup? Should I have tarred up my projects first, then untarred them?
[07:36] <jacksnively> EYEYEYE
[07:37] <theadmin> xiong: Well, i'm not much into doing backups the console way
[07:37] <theadmin> xiong: I usually just cp everything to my external hard drive %)
[07:38] <ryanprior> jacksnively: typically, either stuff just works, or you have a lot of digging to do before you figure out what's going on, and that's if you're a patient and computer-savvy person in the first place. If you're not, then you have no chance.
[07:38] <jacksnively> i don't freaking know linux
[07:39] <xiong> theadmin, I used a backup utility. I guess it was the wrong one. :(
[07:39] <jacksnively> i know my head from a hole in the ground and that it can't be that hard to get high resolution graphics
[07:39] <Zenker> holy cow, thats a good subject for me, if i was to save a file in blender, will i be able 2 open it on someone elses system?
[07:40] <jacksnively> there are posts that sabotage your computer when you try them
[07:40] <hanyang> 41
[07:40] <xiong> jacksnively, I understand your frustration. My first two months with Ubuntu was very tough. Stay cool!
[07:40] <jacksnively> there's no overseer
[07:40] <jacksnively> to call
[07:41] <Zenker> xiong is right, just keep with it, ull get along
[07:41] <xiong> jacksnively, This is still a computer. No matter how hard you smack it on the side, it doesn't feel your pain. Stone cold logic is the only approach promising success.
[07:41] <jacksnively> well then any good chat channels for fun
[07:42] <hanyang> 我怎么用中文说啊
[07:42] <jacksnively> i haven't been able to chat for so long its unbearable any recomendations i like pulp science and mountain dew
[07:42] <xiong> jacksnively, After a month, I was ready to burn my laptop. After two, I was willing to admit, with much grudging, that Ubuntu wasn't too bad. After three, I was doing stuff I'd never been able to do before. Now, I can't imagine how I got along without it.
[07:42] <hanyang> 我英语不行
[07:42] <Zenker> if i was to make something in blender, and take it to a diff computer wit ubuntu will the other sys have full read/write permissions?
[07:42] <hanyang> 谁用中文阿
[07:43] <skino> Im having an issue with my SYstem.... I Just formatted my system so i have nothing but Ubuntu on it... instead of DUal booting like i used to... i have 2 750GB HDD's and one of them at the moment i have to Mount the driver every time i want to use it.... how can i cut this out so its just in the "computer" section as a normal drive
[07:43] <faerun> hello
[07:43] <xiong> jacksnively, It's important to realize that Linux in general is about half completely different from either Windows or Mac OS.
[07:43] <xiong> skino, I will bet you have not supplied a mount point for the second drive.
[07:44] <ryanprior> jacksnively: you are absolutely right that getting your correct screen solution should be 0-steps simple, though. If it's not working, it's a problem on our end 100%.
[07:44] <xiong> It isn't mounting because it doesn't know where to mount.
[07:44] <jacksnively> its a dell
[07:44] <jacksnively> anyways
[07:44] <xiong> Well, that was a wasted answer. Oh well.
[07:44] <faerun> I have a question about how to config my gnome panel...
[07:44] <xiong> faerun, Hit us with it all at once. We can take it.
[07:44] <jacksnively> thanks for trying
[07:45] <faerun> thx xiong
[07:45] <faerun> ok I try...
[07:45] <Zenker> hanyang 尝试谷歌翻译
[07:46] <faerun> I installed my ubuntu on saturday i try to customize it so that it fit
[07:46] <faerun> now I'm missing some funktions
[07:47] <faerun> How can I re-add this funktions
[07:47] <fuzzybunny> what functions are you missing?
[07:47] <faerun> speakers
[07:47] <faerun> some apps showing status there (like skype etcpp)
[07:47] <Zenker> 如果我有机会在搅拌器文件，想是否可以到另一台计算机将我完全的读/写上其他计算机的权限？
[07:48] <ZykoticK9> Zenker, what are you doing?  hanyang left
[07:48] <fuzzybunny> hmmm i am not sure about that one
[07:48] <Zenker> that was this uestion
[07:48] <Zenker> f i was to make a file in blender and wanted to take it to another computer would i have full read/write permissions on the other computer?
[07:49] <bronto2> Zenker, yes
[07:49] <Zenker> rofl, pheeew, i was worried for a min tyank you
[07:49] <sziszi> a fasznak kell neked kínaiul írnod...
[07:50] <bronto2> Zenker, for example if i make a file on my ubuntu box and then drag it via ftp to my osx desktop, its forgoten all about ubuntu...., if thats your question? ;)
[07:50] <stormEagle> hi
[07:50] <stormEagle> is anybody here use back track 4 ?
[07:50] <MobiusJedi> Update Manager error: Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages first.
[07:50] <MobiusJedi> used sudo apt-get install -f, but error persists
[07:50] <ZykoticK9> !hu > sziszi
[07:50] <an0nym0us> hey
[07:51] <Zenker> bronto2 not quite, i use my desktop which has the same ubuntu on it for rendering when it will take a long time
[07:51] <Zenker> but i can always use windows :)
[07:51] <bronto2> Zenker, you would run blender on windows? thats a sin
[07:51] <sziszi> ZykoticK9: I know but i don't need help i just was an answer for on of Zenker komments
[07:51] <fuzzybunny> MobiusJedi, if you open up synaptic package manager and go into Custom Filters > Broken are the packages that are causing problems listed in there?
[07:52] <sziszi> stormEagle: need help?
[07:52] <ZykoticK9> sziszi, ok, just just trying to help - i obviously don't understand Hungarian, was only trying to be helpful
[07:52] <Zenker> bronto2 tsk, yah  i know but gots ta do what i gots ta do ya know
[07:53] <bronto2> Zenker, sure, i was kidding...
[07:53] <pths> can anyone tell me how the --install-recommends work? I see an apt-get got some suggested packages I would like to install as well, but no matter where in the command line I put --install-recommends it wont pull them
[07:53] <MobiusJedi> fuzzybunny: negative
[07:53] <xiong> faerun, To add anything to a GNOME panel, right-click on the panel approximately where you want the new thing to go; choose 'Add to panel'.
[07:54] <sziszi> ZykoticK9: i wonder you can recognise :) you are talented :)
[07:54] <faerun> xiong: this i tried but I cant find the progs I miss or the service
[07:54] <fuzzybunny> MobiusJedi, what was the last thing you did on the machine or tried to install?
[07:55] <silv3r_m00n> when I open a ftp from dolphin , it seems to make some anonymous attempts inspite of password being saved in kwallet ......how to configure it such that it always uses the stored username and password
[07:55] <Zenker> bronto2 its ok, i knew that :) besides guess what os i learned blender on rofl
[07:55] <faerun> xiong: maybe I can reset my customize and go back to the installed standard?
[07:55] <ZykoticK9> sziszi, actually right clicking on your nic showed you where in Hungary.  I actually couldn't recognize the language, so I wanted to know where you where from.
[07:55] <fuzzybunny> Zenker, do you have any samples of stuff you have made with it online
[07:55] <bronto2> Zenker, no idea, but respect to anyone who actually learned blender, i'am still with lightwave3d ...
[07:56] <xiong> faerun, What *exactly* are you missing?
[07:56] <Zenker> fuzzbunny not at the moment
[07:56] <sziszi> ZykoticK9: oh :) never thought that :D
[07:56] <fuzzybunny> I am too unfocused to learn anything really well ;)
[07:56] <fuzzybunny> I always switch to other stuff
[07:56] <Zenker> bronto2 well, i dont think anybody knows all of blender, im still intermediate myself
[07:56] <ZykoticK9> pths, actually recommends is NOT the same as suggests, you might want to try --install-suggests instead
[07:57] <MobiusJedi> fuzzybunny: at the moment, the last thing i installed was a fresh xubuntu 9.10, and some multimedia packages
[07:57] <bronto2> Zenker, that goes for almost any 3d app, ok maybe there is someone who knows everything about 'google sketchup' ;)
[07:57] <Zenker> bronto2 i know everything usefull about bryce3d :)
[07:58] <xiong> Please, faerun, don't ask in /query window. Not only is it considered impolite in general on IRC; but others miss the benefit of our convo. Okay?
[07:58] <fuzzybunny> MobiusJedi, so when you are doing an update or installing other packages if you click on the little arrow or whatever to show the terminal view what package is it trying to install?
[07:58] <faerun> ok sorry
[07:58] <pths> ZykoticK9, funny that that command is not mentioned in apt-get man
[07:59] <faerun> I miss some standard things like audio control panel
[07:59] <ZykoticK9> pths, i've actually never seen it either, but i knew recommends didn't install suggested packages - checked google and found it
[07:59] <faerun> and some status reports of running apps
[07:59] <ZykoticK9> pths, did you try it?  did it work?
[08:00] <MobiusJedi> fuzzybunny: update manager is trying to install 186 packages
[08:01] <MobiusJedi> i don't see this terminal view arrow/button
[08:01] <pths> ZykoticK9, nope, tried both --install- suggests and suggested, but unknown option
[08:01] <xiong> faerun, Not sure what you mean by 'audio control panel'. All I have is a volume control; that's part of 'Notification Area', I think.
[08:01] <ZykoticK9> pths, oh, i'll keep looking then
[08:01] <faerun> xiong: yeah thats it
[08:02] <xiong> faerun, So, add that where you want it.
[08:02] <ZykoticK9> pths, try --with-suggests
[08:02] <fuzzybunny> MobiusJedi, hmmm I had problems with broken packages and things previously and for me it turned out that I had some 3rd party software sources that were trying to install conflicting packages and it created like this endless loop of system updates and it when one would install its update the other one would remove it
[08:02] <xiong> faerun, Notification Area has a lot of useful stuff in it; they're not really related, though.

[08:03] <ZykoticK9> pths, that might only by an aptitude switch and not apt-get BTW
[08:03] <fuzzybunny> MobiusJedi, you might want to run the update and watch in the terminal view which is the last package the update gets to
[08:03] <Zenker> yes we see you akshay rofl
[08:03] <akshay> floodbot
[08:03] <pths> ZykoticK9, thanks for your tips, I'll check it out

[08:04] <hoonches> what are the disadvantages of using hardy?
[08:05] <theadmin> hoonches: It's not the latest, some software is unavailable for it therefore.
[08:05] <xiong> faerun, It's completely up to you. Right-click on any panel, anywhere that there's space free.
[08:05] <Zenker> fuzzybunny see my pm
[08:06] <faerun> ok i thought theres a script I must modify
[08:06] <theadmin> GNOME 3 will have no panels, sigh, all those nice applets will be gone... :/
[08:06] <theadmin> Sorry
[08:06] <MobiusJedi> fuzzybunny: when i click 'install updates', the error window is the first to come up
[08:07] <faerun> thx a lot xiong
[08:07] <fuzzybunny> MobiusJedi, what about if you look in the log file viewer in the dpkg.log is there any information on what package is causing the problem in there?
[08:09] <theadmin> Say, any idea when the VPN plugins (in what release, that is) will all be included by default?
[08:09] <g3rc> hello how to login postfixadmin
[08:09] <zj> 好阿
[08:09] <zj> 有中国 人 没
[08:09] <theadmin> !cn | zj
[08:09] <MobiusJedi> fuzzybunny: i like this plan, but i have no idea how to do it/where to find the log
[08:09] <pths> ZykoticK9, found http://linux.togaware.com/survivor/Wajig_Overview.html havent tried it yet, but seems like nice utility
[08:10] <d0c5i5> anyone know how to get multiple gpus running under ubuntu (64-bit)... i have 4 ati cards, and it is only recognizing one
[08:10] <whit2spring> hi guys
[08:10] <fuzzybunny> MobiusJedi, go to the system menu -> Log File Viewer
[08:10] <zj> hi
[08:11] <MobiusJedi> oh hey, how novel
[08:11] <d0c5i5> also, while trying to fix it, i did something that is making the window manager run really slow, like when dragging windows
[08:11] <wgrant> theadmin: PPTP should be included in Lucid beta 1.
[08:12] <wgrant> theadmin: There has been work in the past day or two to finish its inclusion by default.
[08:12] <theadmin> wgrant: Yay, cool, i mean, i always need it to connect, VPN is so common with ISPs in here
[08:12] <wgrant> theadmin: That's why it's being moved onto the CD.
[08:12] <MobiusJedi> uh-oh, xubuntu doesn't seem to have a log viewer in its menu
[08:13] <mikaelhm> Hi, get the following error when i try to start Kile kile: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtDBus.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv
[08:13] <fuzzybunny> MobiusJedi, what about running gnome-system-log
[08:14] <theadmin> MobiusJedi: Yeah, it's a gnome tool
[08:14] <fuzzybunny> you prob dont have that tho if you are running xubuntu
[08:14] <theadmin> MobiusJedi: Just poke around in /var/log
[08:15] <MobiusJedi> i'm on a fresh xub install, package manager won't let me install gnome at this juncture, so i'll try poking around
[08:15] <fuzzybunny> you might just have to look at cat /var/log/dpkg.log
[08:15] <fuzzybunny> MobiusJedi, the logs should be in /var/log
[08:15] <theadmin> fuzzybunny: Woah there, you don't use cat with such huge files
[08:16] <fuzzybunny> less ;)
[08:17] <Aciid> !readyboost | aciid
[08:17] <MobiusJedi> lol, oh cmon, it's only 246 pages!
[08:17] <mikaelhm> Does anyone know how to get rid of this error, when i start kile: http://pastebin.com/si6hdPEa
[08:19] <rabbit1> small help, i have managed to set resolution to  1280x1024 in ubuntu hardy, AMD 64 nvidia in the xorg.conf file. kindly let me know how to further increase the resolution, for any problem how to restore the previous settings?
[08:20] <theadmin> rabbit1: Hm. I can't get resolution even up to that much, coz i have a laptop... lucky you
[08:20] <rabbit1> theadmin: which laptop? y not?
[08:21] <theadmin> rabbit1: Asus A6Rp, i can only get it up to 1280x800
[08:21] <rabbit1> theadmin: sad :( upgrade it
[08:21] <theadmin> rabbit1: Upgrade where? I'm on Karmic already.
[08:22] <rabbit1> theadmin: get the latest hardware and wait until april end u get lucid, ur all problem will be solved
[08:22] <ZykoticK9> Aciid, <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about readyboost
[08:22] <theadmin> rabbit1: Ah, hardware
[08:22] <theadmin> rabbit1: Better to buy a new one altogether lolz this stuff is quite old
[08:23] <rabbit1> theadmin: that's what i meant, whole thing is hardware for me,
[08:23] <rabbit1> arnold left the room
[08:24] <MobiusJedi> rofl
[08:24] <MobiusJedi> he got to the chopper
[08:24] <rabbit1> saving the boy ? :)
[08:24] <mlkovacs> Its not a tumour
[08:30] <charles_> Anyone there?
[08:30] <jae> Yes
[08:30] <jae> :D
[08:31] <charles_> I'm new to Linux and Unbuntu. It's easy to install on my PC, but miserable to install VMWare app in Unbuntu
[08:32] <jae> Where does Ubuntu's "Network Proxy Preferences" store its data?  Or... how do I edit this from the command line (or via cfengine)?
[08:32] <theadmin> charles_: Uh. 1) It's not "Unbuntu", it's Ubuntu. 2) You can use VirtualBox instead of VMware
[08:32] <charles_> For starters, how do I "change directory" in terminal window?
[08:33] <theadmin> charles_: cd newdirectory
[08:33] <wgrant> jae: It stores it in gconf.
[08:33] <Ten-Eight> type cd at the prompt followed by the director you wish to go to.
[08:33] <Ten-Eight> sorry admin ;)
[08:33] <wgrant> jae: system/network, in particular.
[08:33] <charles_> Virtual box? Hadn't heard of that one. Similar to VMWare? I'm already familiar with using VMware, though not installing it on host op sys.
[08:33] <jae> wgrant: I was afraid of that being the answer :P
[08:33] <sje46> how do I get /var/www to show up when I type in my external IP and not just http://127.0.0.1/ ?
[08:34] <wgrant> charles_: Similar, except free and much easier to install on Ubuntu.
[08:34] <nibbler> sje46: check the /etc/apache2 somewhere in there default-sites and which IP the apache binds to
[08:34] <theadmin> sje46: Check httpd.conf, the "Listen" parameter
[08:35] <theadmin> sje46: or apache2.conf if you're using Ubuntu version
[08:35] <charles_> Does Virtual Box allow me to install a couple virtual Ubuntus and each version of Windows?
[08:35] <wgrant> theadmin: It has been in ports.conf for a very long time now.
[08:35] <wgrant> charles_: Yes.
[08:35] <theadmin> charles_: Yeah
[08:35] <charles_> Though must note that the VMWare I'm accustomed to using is also free.
[08:36] <theadmin> wgrant: Dunno. I'm more familiar with from-source Apache.
[08:36] <wgrant> theadmin: Why?
[08:36] <charles_> I've never used the commerical version of VMware. Only the free version.
[08:36] <ZykoticK9> charles_, if you need USB support in your VMs then you need to install VBox from Oracle, if you don't need USB you can install the OSE version in Ubuntu's repo
[08:36] <theadmin> wgrant: Well, that's where i started
[08:36] <sje46> NameVirtualHost *:80Listen 80
[08:36] <sje46> that what I'm looking for?
[08:37] <sje46> @ the admin
[08:37] <theadmin> sje46: I have a feeling wgrant knows better then me
[08:37] <wgrant> sje46: Yes, but that's fine. You're behind a router of some kind that is doing NAT?
[08:37] <sje46> wgrant, not sure what NAT is
[08:37] <wgrant> sje46: Are you behind a home router?
[08:37] <sje46> wgrant, yes
[08:37] <theadmin> charles_: VMware is a pain to use on many Linux systems... Virtualbox is free and Open-Source (partially) and sooo simple. Just a few clicks and you're done!
[08:38] <wgrant> sje46: You'll need to check your router's manual for instructions on how to forward port 80 from the Internet to your computer.
[08:38] <wgrant> sje46: Also keep in mind that some Internet service providers block port 80 to stop you from doing that.
[08:39] <sje46> wgrant, this is going to sound dumb...but if port 80 is for http, if it's blocked, how can I go on the web?
[08:39] <rabbit1> guys, how to check wht resolutions my nvidia support?
[08:39] <theadmin> wgrant: Like mine did, had to request them to stop it and pay a bit more...
[08:39] <sje46> or is it that they can't go on my web?
[08:39] <wgrant> sje46: They block it incoming, not outgoing.
[08:39] <sje46> on my content*
[08:39] <theadmin> sje46: 80 for incoming might be blocked, for outgoing it's always open
[08:39] <wgrant> So you can connect out to others, but others can't connect in to you.
[08:40] <itheos> what is "default keyring" on my karmic?
[08:40] <ddrj> sup guys
[08:40] <charles_> To change directory in terminal window, I type CD "Newdirectory" you say. I believe you, but that's what I think I did. Just like in DOS, right?
[08:40] <ddrj> how do you uninstall a program in bash? apt-get uninstall ?
[08:40] <wgrant> charles_: 'cd' is lowercase.
[08:40] <wgrant> ddrj: apt-get remove somepackage
[08:40] <sziszi> ddrj: apt-get remove
[08:40] <brontosaurusrex> sje46, if you are setting up a web server, you may choose another port, but i suggest you figure out how to patch port 80 to your machine rather
[08:40] <ddrj> ahh ok perfect thanks
[08:40] <itheos> what is "default keyring" on my karmic?
[08:41] <theadmin> ddrj: sudo apt-get remove
[08:41] <itheos> :/
[08:41] <theadmin> itheos: I think it's "Login"
[08:41] <ddrj> ahhh yeah
[08:41] <brontosaurusrex> ddrj, apt-get remove i think
[08:41] <itheos> doesnt work
[08:41] <sziszi> itheos: policikit and the seahorse
[08:41] <wgrant> itheos: What do you want to know about it?
[08:41] <itheos> the password
[08:41] <hoonches> are there any other iso burning programs besides brasero?
[08:41] <sje46> oh thanks guys...I added the port to the router page...and it worked
[08:41] <wgrant> itheos: You configured the password for it yourself.
[08:41] <itheos> no i didnt
[08:41] <sziszi> hoonches: gnome baker, k3m, nero linux
[08:41] <charles_> Hilarious! I've been remembering DOS from forever ago, and guessing CD, when all the while it's cd. Thanks
[08:41] <theadmin> hoonches: k3b is one i use, there is also that XFCE burner.
[08:41] <itheos> it never asked me
[08:42] <wgrant> itheos: Try using your login password.
[08:42] <itheos> i tried but doesnt work
[08:42] <Ten-Eight> itheos: it's you user login password.
[08:42] <rabbit1> what is the command to check nvidia supported resolutions
[08:42] <itheos> :(
[08:42] <itheos> just empathy asks me
[08:42] <wgrant> itheos: Have you tried all of your previous login passwords too?
[08:43] <itheos> it is the same password
[08:43] <sje46> wgrant, forwarding port 80 worked for http...but I have 6662 till 6669 open for IRC, but that isn't working for my IRCd
[08:44] <itheos> wgrant, which file is that password stored in?
[08:44] <wgrant> sje46: check around to see if your ISP blocks any incoming ports.
[08:44] <wgrant> itheos: It's not stored cleartext anywhere.
[08:45] <Aciid> sje46: it maybe your ISP that is blocking them
[08:45] <GeorgeJ> Hello, is it possible to create a lvm from a software mirror without having to erase all data? If so, where could I find a tutorial?
[08:45] <wgrant> It's all encrypted with the password.
[08:45] <sje46> wgrant, how do I do that?
[08:45] <itheos> :/
[08:45] <wgrant> sje46: Check their website, and otherwise search the Internet.
[08:45] <wgrant> itheos: There wouldn't be much point if you didn't need to know the password to gain access.
[08:45] <itheos> can it be a bug?
[08:45] <GeorgeJ> I have no lvm groups set up, so I'm not trying to extend one, but create a group.
[08:46] <unixp> i want to mount my extern hdd via usb. if i mount it comes:mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab  What must i do?
[08:46] <charles_> VMWare (free version) worked great on my PC with Ubuntu when a "techier than I" friend installed it for me. The hard part is the install of VMware. After that it works easy and great. However, I'm up for trying Virtual Box, but where can I download it from?
[08:46] <itheos> wgrant, only empathy asks for the keyring/pass. i can login with my user pass.
[08:46] <ZykoticK9> charles_, http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[08:47] <Ten-Eight> Charles: http://www.sun.com/software/products/virtualbox/get.jsp
[08:47] <Ten-Eight> for the Sun version with USB support.
[08:47] <guido_> ciao ho un problema con la rete qualcuno puo aiutarmi?
[08:47] <charles_> Also, thanks for telling me how to change directories. Very easy now that I know lower case. Sheesh, embarrassed. Now I think I can install VMware, but I'll try the Virtual Box too. Thanks a bunch for the advice.
[08:47] <wgrant> charles_: Use the Ubuntu Software Centre to install it.
[08:47] <rabbit1> what is the command to check nvidia supported resolutions
[08:48] <quibbler> !it | guido_
[08:48] <guido_> ok grazie
[08:48] <rabbit1> !nvidia | rabbit
[08:48] <unixp> i want to mount my extern hdd via usb. if i mount it comes:mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab  What must i do?
[08:49] <charles_> wgrant said: charles_: Use the Ubuntu Software Centre to install it. I tried that, but didn't see it listed anywhere.
[08:49] <theadmin> unixp: Did you specify the mount point?
[08:49] <sje46> wgrant: it doesn't appear as though comcast is blockin 6667
[08:49] <wgrant> charles_: You searched for 'virtualbox'?
[08:50] <wgrant> charles_: It's one word.
[08:50] <charles_> Yes, I did search for Virtualbox, though I searched Virtual Box (two words)
[08:50] <unixp> theadmin,  no
[08:50] <charles_> I'll search again
[08:50] <theadmin> unixp: There's your problem, specify one. Like this: sudo mount DEVICE MOUNTPOINT
[08:50] <Ten-Eight> Charles..get it here: http://www.sun.com/software/products/virtualbox/get.jsp
[08:51] <wgrant> Ten-Eight: No. It is a much better idea to use the Ubuntu Software Centre to install software.
[08:51] <Ten-Eight> I understand that...BUT if it's not there, he can't get it.
[08:51] <wgrant> Ten-Eight: But it is there.
[08:51] <theadmin> wgrant: OSE of virtualbox (one in USC) is no good actually
[08:51] <Ten-Eight> just giving him another option...
[08:51] <unixp> theadmin,  mh do u have a sample?
[08:51] <wgrant> theadmin: It's fine for most purposes.
[08:51] <theadmin> unixp: mount /dev/sda1 /media/device
[08:52] <Ten-Eight> I use the one from the Sun/Oracle site...it's much better than the OSE version.
[08:52] <unixp> theadmin, k
[08:52] <wgrant> It just lacks RDP and USB support and a couple of other things.
[08:52] <wgrant> They do not make it "much better".
[08:52] <Ten-Eight> well...I mean it has USB support ;)
[08:52] <unixp> theadmin,  mount: mount point /media/device does not exist
[08:52] <charles_> Searched for one word "Virtualbox". Found "VirtualBox OSE" and "VBoxGtk". Which do I need?
[08:52] <wgrant> charles_: The former.
[08:52] <JEEBsv> wgrant: personally I find RDP support very attractive
[08:52] <theadmin> unixp: Uh, mount point must be an existing directory.
[08:53] <theadmin> unixp: So you have to create it first
[08:53] <JEEBsv> Of course, for those who don't need those features the OSE is mighty fine
[08:53] <unixp> theadmin,  and where i create them?
[08:53] <sje46> wgrant, I have port 6667 forwarded, but it's under TCP.UDP.  Is that correct?  I'm not even sure what that means
[08:53] <unixp> theadmin,  or typing what
[08:53] <wgrant> Right, so let's not go around prematurely suggesting that people download random software off the Internet, thanks.
[08:53] <CrOnOs__> hi someone know how to import hotmail contacts to evolution correcty the email field is imported on the tty field
[08:53] <wgrant> sje46: TCP is the important one, but UDP won't hurt.
[08:53] <theadmin> unixp: Something like "sudo mkdir /media/device"
[08:55] <unixp> theadmin, k works, but: "You dont have the premissions necessary to view the contents of "device"
[08:55] <sireorion> hello i got a problem. i cant stream on vlc it says like this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/396045/
[08:55] <rabbit1> i have managed to set resolution to  1280x1024 in ubuntu hardy, AMD 64 nvidia in the xorg.conf file. kindly let me know how to further increase the resolution, for any problem how to restore the previous settings?
[08:55] <sireorion> can someone help a old man
[08:55] <quibbler> charles_-> you can download virtualbox from: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[08:55] <theadmin> unixp: Huh? %) Sorry, can't help with that, altho... try "sudo chmod -R 666 /media/device
[08:55] <sje46> unixp, I'm far from an expert, but I wouldn't recommend doing sudo mkdir /media/device
[08:56] <charles_> Installing it now. Awesome, if it's userfriendly. The thing with VMware is that I'm already experienced with it as a user with guest op systems. Just a newbie to installing it in a Linux Host op sys. So hopefully I can learn Virtual Box easy. If not, you wonderful people have also given me enough savvy with terminal that I now think I could install the free version of VMware successfully in my Ubuntu host op sys. Either way, I'm good.
[08:56] <unixp> sje46, why?
[08:56] <theadmin> sje46: Can't hurt actually
[08:56] <rabbit1> sireorion: its encoder problem, try searching for "alsa" in  forum
[08:56] <brontosaurusrex> sireorion, something with extended media support in ubuntu including mp3 is my guess
[08:56] <theadmin> sje46: Mounting in /media is generally good you know
[08:56] <sje46> unixp, if you do that, it will make that folder permanently, and each new time you mount the device, it will be media/device_
[08:57] <sireorion> rabbit1: no u talk in quests .... am new with computers
[08:57] <sje46> this has caused my music programs to not look in the correct folder, theadmin
[08:57] <charles_> So Virtual Box will support USB in guest op systems and other stuff that VMware would? Sounds promising. Thanks. I'll give it a try tommorrow. My bed is calling now. Thanks
[08:57] <theadmin> sje46: Dunno. I do so now and then and it works (i have a buncha ISO's mounted under /media/isoX where X is a number of the uh... virtual drive)
[08:57] <sje46> well, that's for a harddrive with a OS in it
[08:58] <Ten-Eight> charles: the OSE version will not support USB.
[08:58] <rabbit1> i have managed to set resolution to  1280x1024 in ubuntu hardy, AMD 64 nvidia in the xorg.conf file. kindly let me know how to further increase the resolution, for any problem how to restore the previous settings?
[08:59] <sje46> but basically, unixp , if some of your programs can't locate files, keep that in mind, and delete the /media/device folder to fix it

[09:09] <charles_> I couldn't find VirtualBox download at Oracle's website. Stupid newbie question I'm sure, but how is Sun affiliated with Oracle, and can I trust Sun? I assume so since you recommened Sun. What's that link to the download at Sun?

[09:22] <sixofour> ubuntu has many channels for different languages if it helps
[09:23] <biborn> but i think u can understand me like rabbit does right!
[09:23] <hmw> biborn: no problem, but it is hard to figure out, what you need. Perhaps someone who talks your language might be able to help, there are ubuntu support channels in other lanugages, too

[09:24] <Ten-Eight> syrius: the abiword plugins should be available via Synaptic package manager. you'll have to look for it.
[09:24] <biborn> yes!

[09:25] <charles_> I downloaded the VirtualBox from Sun, tried to install it, got the message that it can't be installed because of a conflict with VirtualBox OSE, which I had previously installed and uninstalled earlier tonight. I rebooted and tried to install again, and get same error message, even though VB OSE is UNinstalled. What to do?
[09:25] <biborn> recently, when i want to connect to internet using broadband, i have to key in rmmod bla bla bla....and then have to restart..

[09:26] <hmw> biborn: which module do you  rmmod  in this case?

[09:32] <Ten-Eight> and see if something comes up.

[09:33] <sixofour> if anyone ever mentionsw leet, biborn, tell them you met leet before, his name was sixofour
[09:33] <theadmin> Ten-Eight: One i gave should also kinda see where configs could persist
[09:33] <charles_> I want Ubuntu because it's virus resistant, runs faster than Windows7 on my 64 bit computer, and is a very stable platform for running virtual machines with other instances of Ubuntu and various versions of Windows. That's why I like Ubuntu, and it's also more easy for a newbie to Linux (me).
[09:33] <Ten-Eight> yes indeed.
[09:34] <charles_> Anyway, back to finding the VB problem now...

[09:35] <sixofour> oh
[09:36] <jaanush_> Is there someone actually working on EnhancedGrid? I have posted loads of questions both here and on the list but by the looks of it it's some kind of abandonware? The entire thing is poorly doumented both in docs and in source an there seems to be no help to be had?
[09:36] <charles_> It didn't do anything. Am I supposed to first navigate to a specific folder
[09:36] <biborn> hahaha...
[09:36] <quibbler> Batcho-> try asking in #winehq
[09:36] <biborn> im the user of karmic..
[09:36] <SteelWing> I'm trying to play an audio stream (.m3u file) in rhythmbox music player but everytime I try to import it I get a permission denied error. The file in question sits in my downloads folder. I've tried chmodding it for read and write but that didn't work. I've also tried running rhythmbox through console with sudo, but that just caused it to run without using my current theme and it still refuses to add the file citing the same permissions error.
[09:36] <Batcho> quibbler, I have. :)
[09:36] <biborn> i know usc..
[09:36] <theadmin> charles_: Hm, nothing? Weird, then nothing of the box is remaining, i guess, really akward
[09:36] <hmw> biborn: perhaps you should try out wicd, it can be used instead of network manager and helps often with wifi
[09:37] <Ten-Eight> charles: no, if nothing came up, it's not able to find it.  Just for fun, try "whereis virtualbox"
[09:37] <nibbler> SteelWing: m3u is a playlist, try to play the url directly that is noted in there
[09:37] <theadmin> Altho locate is somehow cached... I sometimes use "ls -R / | grep 'stuff'"
[09:37] <philthno2> hi, is there a date when jobs from /etc/init.d will no longer be supported by upstart? Or can I go on starting my services with that in nearer future?
[09:37] <SteelWing> Nibbler: Good point. I'll go try that.
[09:37] <nibbler> theadmin: updatedb updates the locate-db
[09:38] <biborn> hmw: what is wicd??
[09:38] <charles_> Well, I'm not sure I'm in the correct directory when I type the command. I'm a nearly total Linux newbie here. A fair amount of Windows experience, and some DOS. Only a little Linux experience
[09:38] <theadmin> biborn: A network manager
[09:38] <hmw> biborn: a replacement for the network manager
[09:38] <charles_> What directory do I need to be in when I type the command?
[09:38] <theadmin> charles_: locate, whereis and which are NOT directory-dependent
[09:38] <Ten-Eight> charles: doensn't matter.
[09:38] <biborn> is it a package or software for ubuntu??
[09:38] <Ten-Eight> *doesn't ;)
[09:38] <Batcho> lol.
[09:38] <theadmin> biborn: Yeah, but it will remove the GNOME one, so be careful
[09:39] <biborn> wow
[09:39] <biborn> sounds dangerous..
[09:39] <biborn> haha
[09:39] <charles_> OK. I mispelled virtualbox, that was the problem.
[09:39] <biborn> do all of u use ubuntu now..
[09:39] <biborn> i mean while chatting like this//
[09:39] <rsk> biborn ye
[09:40] <Batcho>  /facepalm.jpg
[09:40] <biborn> rsk: are u malay??
[09:40] <Ten-Eight> charles: so it's still there?
[09:40] <charles_> Did it again and it says: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/virtualbox-ose.desktop
[09:40] <rsk> biborn what's malay?
[09:40] <Batcho> rsk is swedish
[09:40] <biborn> malay is a languageof malaysian..
[09:40] <rsk> o then i'm not
[09:40] <SteelWing> Nibbler: Thanks, I feel really dumb for not attempting that in the first place. Gedit'd the file and took the url from it, went into rhthymbox and saw an option for internet radio stations. Added the url and it worked like a charm.
[09:40] <rsk> no
[09:41] <theadmin> biborn: Some do use Ubuntu here, most i think, some not
[09:41] <biborn> oic..
[09:41] <biborn> im sorry
[09:41] <charles_> Yes, still there. See my prior message
[09:41] <rabbit1> hmw: it din't work :(
[09:41] <biborn> the admin: do u have to crack mirc in ubuntu like i does in windows?
[09:41] <rabbit1> hmw: can u paste what i typed the problem of biborn from pm?
[09:41] <Batcho> biborn, no.
[09:41] <Batcho> You don't use mIRC
[09:41] <theadmin> biborn: I use Pidgin lolz, mirc totally suckz
[09:42] <Batcho> theadmin, Do you know about ~/.purple/accounts.xml?
[09:42] <charles_> Yes, it's still there. Says: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/virtualbox-ose.desktop
[09:42] <theadmin> Batcho: Err, huh
[09:42] <hey_boy> hello
[09:42] <theadmin> charles_: Try to delete that and see if it helpz
[09:42] <Batcho> theadmin, Never mind.
[09:42] <biborn> rabbit: are talking about my problem??
[09:42] <nibbler> SteelWing: welcome :)
[09:43] <theadmin> Batcho: I do now.
[09:43] <Ten-Eight> charles: okay.
[09:43] <charles_> How do I delete? From terminal? From gui file manager? does it matter how?
[09:43] <theadmin> Batcho: So what? chmod 600 it and it won't cause any problems?
[09:43] <rsk> chalcedony it dosen't matter
[09:43] <rsk> charles_ both work
[09:43] <theadmin> charles_: Not really, but just to be sure... sudo rm -rf /usr/share/app-install/desktop/virtualbox-ose.desktop
[09:44] <erUSUL> charles_: it does not matter
[09:44] <biborn> one more thing..
[09:44] <kubanc> Is there any solution, because I first installed windows XP, and now i cannot see other partitions in parititon settings window when installing Ubuntu 9.10. I only see disk with no partitions...
[09:44] <ct529> serious problem here! when I run runlevel on one of my computers it retuns unknown! How can that be?
[09:44] <biborn> does pidgin lokks and function the same as mirc??
[09:44] <rsk> biborn no
[09:44] <Batcho> biborn, no
[09:44] <erUSUL> !upstart | ct529
[09:44] <Batcho> biborn, Use xchat
[09:44] <brontosaurusrex> biborn, mirc alternative is xchat, pidgin is more like iam
[09:44] <theadmin> biborn: No, not the same, it's better. It also supports MSN, ICQ< other stuff. Xchat resembles mirc most closely.
[09:44] <biborn> but i think mirc is great!
[09:45] <Batcho> mirc is shite.
[09:45] <erUSUL> !language
[09:45] <biborn> hahaha
[09:45] <adamkex> irssi!
[09:45] <theadmin> Woah there. Don't start a flamewar people.
[09:45] <biborn> i c..
[09:45] <erUSUL> !u
[09:45] <Ten-Eight> adamkex: irssi is my fav ;)
[09:45] <adamkex> Ten-Eight: irssi is the way to go!
[09:45] <ct529> erUSUL: well, but why that does not happen on the ohther computer with exactly the same distribution and update status?
[09:45] <biborn> do i bother all of u?
[09:46] <quibbler> !irc | biborn
[09:46] <Ten-Eight> adamkex: it is for me anyway ;)
[09:46] <theadmin> biborn: No, but you've actually went a lot offtopic
[09:46] <Batcho> erUSUL, u r juzt jelz bcuz u cent tlk liek dis
[09:46] <rabbit1> biborn: not at all
[09:46] <biborn> i know my question are very low standard fot leets like u..
[09:46] <SteelWing> Hmm... now it plays one song and then it gets stuck in a buffer loop... I have to manually hit play inorder for it to finish buffering and play the next song. Any ideas?
[09:46] <quibbler> !irc clients | biborn
[09:46] <Ten-Eight> I've used xchat as well and it's very good.
[09:46] <adamkex> Ten-Eight: yeah, i have no other irc client installed
[09:46] <erUSUL> ct529: maybe some odd package provides fake info ... se difeerences of installed packages
[09:46] <theadmin> quibbler: I don't think we have any factoids with spaces
[09:46] <adamkex> Ten-Eight: i even use it when i am on windows
[09:46] <Batcho> Hey, I'm having problems with every game i play with wine. The graphics are very choppy and i get a super low fps rate.
[09:46] <brontosaurusrex> Ten-Eight, why irssi?
[09:47] <theadmin> adamkex: irssi? On window$? o_O
[09:47] <quibbler> theadmin-> Ok thank you
[09:47] <ct529> erUSUL: I do not understand .... on the computer where i can see the runlevel, or on the computer that says that the runlevel is unknown?
[09:47] <adamkex> theadmin: oh yeah, when i am forced to use windows of course
[09:47] <theadmin> Batcho: Might be a good idea to ask in #winehq
[09:47] <erUSUL> Batcho: hardwar specs? video card? what driver are you using?
[09:47] <Batcho> theadmin, I have.
[09:47] <ct529> erUSUL: and the upstart is meant to replace the runlevels completely?
[09:47] <Ten-Eight> brontosaurusrex: I just like it better :) It runs in a terminal and makes me feel all geeky inside ;)
[09:47] <SteelWing> theadmin Yes, someone built irssi for windows its on their site now. I've got it too :)
[09:47] <erUSUL> ct529: in the one that shows the runlevel
[09:47] <rabbit1> Batcho: kangaroo will carry a kangaroo and monkey will only carry monkey
[09:47] <charles_> I found it using the GUI file browser. When I tried to delete it, it says "Permission Denied"
[09:47] <sixofour> When ever I play a game on my widescreen laptop in ubuntu, the bottom 10% of the screen is cutoff when I enter fullscreen mode. Applications seem to think I have a standard monitor, and not a widescreen, so they are rendering in standard mode. How do I fix this?
[09:47] <erUSUL> ct529: that's the plan yes
[09:47] <adamkex> brontosaurusrex: it's fast
[09:48] <Batcho> erUSUL, 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[09:48] <Batcho> erUSUL, driver, Not sure.
[09:48] <sixofour> you know guys, i am not spamming this for my health
[09:48] <biborn> rabbit; for u, which linux distro is the best??
[09:48] <Batcho> rabbit1, That made 0 sense
[09:48] <theadmin> charles_: Have problems with windows, reboot. Have problems with Linux, be root. Use "sudo rm -rf filepath" to delete, via the terminal
[09:48] <biborn> just askin
[09:48] <ct529> erUSUL: but the problem is that all services are at the moment started by /etc/init.d calls to links in the /etc/rcx.d directories
[09:48] <rabbit1> Batcho: few have understood
[09:48] <erUSUL> Batcho: well intel graphics are known to be slow and you pay a penalty by using wine .... so it is not unspected
[09:48] <hmw> !offtopic | biborn
[09:48] <rabbit1> biborn: any linux is best, but use one which has got supports
[09:49] <ct529> erUSUL: but on the machine "without" runlevel, services are not starting appropriately .... so I would say the problem is on the machien where the runlevel is unknown ....
[09:49] <biborn> ok i know my faults..
[09:49] <biborn> sorry again.
[09:49] <erUSUL> ct529: in karmic at least gdm and some otheres are handled by upstart. the rest are handled by upstart sysV emulation
[09:49] <biborn> guys..
[09:49] <charles_> What does be boot Linux mean? Was that a typo for reboot?
[09:49] <biborn> i gttg..
[09:49] <biborn> gtg
[09:49] <biborn> c u..
[09:49] <Ten-Eight> theadmin: I used to have VB on this machine and I removed it some time ago, I still have the .virtualbox directory in my home folder.
[09:49] <theadmin> charles_: root is the only "real" Admininstrator users
[09:49] <sixofour> When ever I play a game on my widescreen laptop in ubuntu, the bottom 10% of the screen is cutoff when I enter fullscreen mode. Applications seem to think I have a standard monitor, and not a widescreen, so they are rendering in standard mode. How do I fix this?
[09:49] <theadmin> charles_: user*
[09:49] <erUSUL> ct529: ls /etc/init/
[09:50] <Ten-Eight> charles: be ROOT
[09:50] <charles_> OK. I think I understand.
[09:50] <ct529> erUSUL: I can tell you it is not working properly .... for example CUPS is not started appropriately
[09:50] <rabbit1> i think people should stop supporting wine, what's your views?
[09:50] <adamkex> Ten-Eight: be root?!
[09:50] <theadmin> sixofour: Say, does this happen on other distros? Just in case, did you test? I don't think it's an Ubuntu prob
[09:50] <erUSUL> Ten-Eight: things in users home folder are not touched ever by instalation/remove routines
[09:50] <ct529> rabbit1: why????
[09:51] <Ten-Eight> erUSUL: thanks ;)
[09:51] <sixofour> theadmin:  wine runs games normally
[09:51] <sixofour> in fullscreen
[09:51] <erUSUL> ct529: well ask in #upstart; being new i do not know much about how to troubleshot it if it fails
[09:51] <sixofour> and npot supporting wine would be the end of linux as a viable OS, period.
[09:51] <rabbit1> ct529: what sense does it make when people use linux and install wine and then again get into windows app usage through wine
[09:51] <sixofour> @rabbit1
[09:51] <Ten-Eight> adamkex: i was talking to charles. he though theadmin had made a typo ;)
[09:51] <theadmin> sixofour: Some, yeah %) I always have fullscreen problems because gnome-panel is all like "Hey, no, i must be on top!"
[09:51] <rabbit1> ct529: its better they run window application in windows only.
[09:51] <sixofour> i removed gnome [panel it is still fux
[09:51] <quibbler> charles_-> if you wish to use nautilus in root ...open a terminal and type gksudo nautilus
[09:52] <sixofour> :/
[09:52] <rabbit1> sixofour: i have no idea about your problem, sorry
[09:52] <sixofour> rabbit1:  the reason linux has the suport that it does now is because windows applications are more accsessable on linux, and thus more people are switching
[09:52] <adamkex> Ten-Eight: oh, running stuff as root is a bad practice
[09:52] <mithradir> hi guys do you know if there any programm like electronic workbench for linux?
[09:52] <ct529> rabbit1: I think you are wrong .... we use linux in a mixed environment and when someone sends you an MSWord 97 document and you need to read it or modify it and send it back you do not want at all to reboot so we either use virtualisation or wine
[09:52] <sixofour> if you removed wine, the amount of linux users would probably drop by 80%
[09:53] <sixofour> maybe 90%
[09:53] <theadmin> sixofour: Hm. I'd stay. I'm one of dual-booters ;)
[09:53] <sixofour> there is even talk of integrating wine into the kernal lol
[09:53] <ct529> erUSUL: thanks
[09:53] <adamkex> sixofour: excluding the server market
[09:53] <sixofour> so its all one peice
[09:53] <Ten-Eight> adamkex: running as root as a "regular user" is not a good idea.
[09:53] <sixofour> there isn't much of a market when the software if free
[09:53] <charles_> OK, that worked and it's deleted.
[09:53] <erUSUL> sixofour: 95% of all stadistics are worng and your number is not even a stadistic you just pulled it out of your...
[09:53] <theadmin> sixofour: ReactOS did that... Kinda a open-source Windows implemintation, a really weirdish idea
[09:53] <oliver_> Ok thank you I got it working but now my voice chat files are missing.  Any idea on how to install them?
[09:53] <rabbit1> ct529: for that example, its true, but some people try using everything in wine, they boot in linux and start using windows.....
[09:54] <oliver_> Gyachi is the program I am working with.
[09:54] <sixofour> linux with wine is windows without the bad, why not use it?
[09:54] <Ten-Eight> charles: now that it's gone, try installing the sun version again and see what happens.
[09:54] <erUSUL> !ot
[09:54] <brontosaurusrex> what do i apt-get to install virtualbox guest additions?
[09:54] <theadmin> brontosaurusrex: They're built in to virtualbox, read their manuals
[09:54] <adamkex> Ten-Eight: that's why you don't run programs with root privleges, but do you want to know something funny? the important files are your personal files, you can always reinstall ubuntu, but you can "reinstall" your music collection or works of work :P
[09:54] <rabbit1> ct529: suppose for some problem, they try solving for few minutes and then they switch to wine for easier solution and then once the job is done, they forget
[09:54] <erUSUL> brontosaurusrex: virtualbox-guest-additions
[09:54] <brontosaurusrex> erUSUL, ok
[09:54] <adamkex> Ten-Eight: lots of work*
[09:55] <SteelWing> Hmm... now it plays one song and then it gets stuck in a buffer loop... I have to manually hit play inorder for it to finish buffering and play the next song. Any ideas?
[09:55] <theadmin> erUSUL: Huh?... Aren't they a part of Virtualbox?
[09:55] <Ten-Eight> if I remember correctly, you have to install the "guest additions" while inside virtualbox.
[09:55] <ct529> rabbit1: some people do actually have to work for a living and they have not much time to play .... ;)
[09:55] <hmw> brontosaurusrex: usually you can do that within the VBox... i think it is HOST+D or some menu entry
[09:55] <Ten-Eight> adamkex:  yes sir, you are correct.
[09:55] <brontosaurusrex> theadmin, they are, but they are also in repos i belive, so that should be easier/cleaner no?
[09:55] <theadmin> brontosaurusrex: Dunno. I use the Oracle/Sun version
[09:55] <adamkex> Ten-Eight: a tiny bash script could kill you
[09:55] <Ten-Eight> after you install the guest OS, you can install the guest additions.
[09:55] <erUSUL> brontosaurusrex: p   virtualbox-guest-additions                             - guest additions iso image for VirtualBox
[09:56] <Ten-Eight> adamkex: yep, it can do great damage.
[09:56] <anonymous2> hi
[09:56] <theadmin> Ten-Eight: rm -rf /... hehehe. (note to new people, do not run that.)
[09:56] <gaspard> about AFP's implementation on netatalk, I red that Mac OS X requires encryption to work properly but the standard package of netatalk provided in the Ubuntu repositories doesn’t include this feature. This article has been written in 2007, has this feature been implemented since then ? Should I install default avahi deb package or should I get the source ten rebuild it with my own options as described in
[09:56] <gaspard> http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/ubuntu-as-mac-file-server-and-time-machine-volume/
[09:56] <sixofour> one command can kill you adamkex
[09:57] <ct529> Ten-Eight: even a small bash command ..... rm -fr ./*
[09:57] <Ten-Eight> heheheheh...yep. DO NOT RUN
[09:57] <Batcho> Fork bomb.
[09:57] <rabbit1> i think linux users thinking has to change, any new linux user try to find alternate to windows or windows application in linux, the wine supports this kind of thinking, i totally oppose it
[09:57] <adamkex> sixofour: i know
[09:57] <gaspard> have you guys been trying networking between macosx and ubuntu ?
[09:57] <adamkex> rm -rf / removes your entire system, for curious people
[09:57] <ct529> gaspard: do you mean mixed network?
[09:57] <theadmin> adamkex: And stuff on mounted drives, too.
[09:57] <erUSUL> !danger | adamkex
[09:57] <ct529> gaspard: we work on it on a daily basis
[09:57] <sixofour> rabbit1:  real linux users want linux as easy to use as wine
[09:57] <sixofour> windows*
[09:57] <charles_> Couple questions though... While in there, I also see some other files related to virtual machines: Virtual Machine Manager, Visual VM, VMware User Agent, VMware View Open Client (which sounds a lot like what I was trying to install earlier). What are those?
[09:58] <Ten-Eight> sorry ubottu :)
[09:58] <erUSUL> !virtualizers
[09:58] <sixofour> ease of use brings everything else
[09:58] <hmw> sixofour: your first version was the correct one
[09:58] <gaspard> ct529 I mean using AFP protocol to share between ubuntu servers and macosx clients
[09:58] <rabbit1> sixofour: bingo, lets make linux better and think of comparing what it offers alternate to windows
[09:58] <SteelWing> It appears that rhythmbox music player just plays one song from the stream and then gets stuck in a buffer loop. I then have to bring the program back up and stop playback then resume it in order for it to start playing again. Would anyone know how to fix this?
[09:58] <erUSUL> really people we have an offtopic channel for random chatter
[09:58] <edomeda> I've got a problem (been a few weeks now) where my system will start a prolonged beep on boot and/or shutdown even though pcspkr module is blacklisted.
[09:58] <erUSUL> !ot
[09:58] <anonymous2> when I go to Application > Internet > MI Empathy, it executes it but doesnt show the gui, I have to again go to the menu, anyone know why this happens ?
[09:58] <sixofour> rabbit1:  supporting windows applications is the only way
[09:58] <brontosaurusrex> gaspard, netatalk right? i made it on jaunty, but not on karmic
[09:58] <ct529> gaspard: yes, our servers are a mixture ubuntu and something esle and some of our clients (10%-12%) are macosx ....
[09:59] <sixofour> supporting mac apps also helps
[09:59] <erUSUL> anonymous2: it is in the indicator appletin the top pannel
[09:59] <adamkex> erUSUL: yes i know, it's better telling people what it actually does when about 4 people already wrote the command her
[09:59] <theadmin> The faster WINE gets better, the faster Micro$oft dies... But really, that's all offtopic, stop it everyone
[09:59] <erUSUL> anonymous2: when you first run it i opens minimized there
[09:59] <ct529> sixofour: rabbit1: linux is already much better, but there are people out there that are using windows and you need to be able to interact with them
[09:59] <sixofour> when you can install linux, then buy any sofgtware from a store without looking at the requirements, pop it in, and linux can use it out of the box, then we wine the game
[09:59] <hmw> !ot | sixofour
[09:59] <ct529> sixofour: rabbit1: if they are customers you need to interact on their terms
[10:00] <theadmin> !ot | ct529, sixofour and rabbit1
[10:00] <rabbit1> ct529: they won't get exposed to linux, if they boot linux and use wine
[10:00] <edomeda> I've got a problem (been a few weeks now) where my system will start a prolonged beep on boot and/or shutdown even though pcspkr module is blacklisted.  Anyone know how to solve this?
[10:00] <MarcoPau> hello, my xorg-edgers is often crashing when switching to virtual desktop 1. syslog says so http://pastebin.com/NTHjRySj Any hint?
[10:00] <gaspard> brontosaurusrex ct529 : Should I install default avahi deb package or should I get the source then rebuild it with my own options as described in this article ? http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/06/ubuntu-as-mac-file-server-and-time-machine-volume/ (This article has been written in 2007)
[10:00] <sixofour> When ever I play a game on my widescreen laptop in ubuntu, the bottom 10% of the screen is cutoff when I enter fullscreen mode. Applications seem to think I have a standard monitor, and not a widescreen, so they are rendering in standard mode. How do I fix this?
[10:01] <rabbit1> theadmin: thx and sorry, we were off topic
[10:01] <sixofour> they worked fine in wine and kde
[10:01] <sixofour> so if its from the gnome bar, idk how to fix it, ive set it to auto hide and manuall hide, neither worked
[10:01] <charles_> So is VMware Viewer Open Source already installed/present in Ubuntu when I first installed Ubuntu? or did it get in there from my earlier failed attempt to install it?
[10:01] <erUSUL> charles_: the later
[10:01] <brontosaurusrex> gaspard, thats exactly the article that didnt work out for me in karmic, but you may have better luck, you should compile netatalk yourself, avahi can be repos version i think
[10:02] <ct529> erUSUL: if i try to uninstall upstart it removes the whole installtion ....
[10:02] <hmw> edomeda: If you don't care less about a beautiful solution, but more about results: disconnecting the speaker might help.
[10:02] <edomeda> hmw, can't, it's a surface mount
[10:02] <hmw> edomeda: surface mount meaning a part of the mobo?
[10:02] <erUSUL> ct529: you can not remove it. it is esential in a ubuntu system just like sysV is for a normal linux (and mind you debian and fedora will integrate upstart too is the wave of the future)
[10:03] <UF-Gast687> kann mir jemand bitte helfen
[10:03] <edomeda> hmw, yes, sodiered on the board

[10:03] <hernan> hola alguien habla español?
[10:03] <hmw> UF-Gast687: Es gibt auch einen deutschen Ubuntu Kanal. PM mich, wenn dort niemand antwortet

[10:03] <erUSUL> !es | hernan
[10:03] <theadmin> UF-Gast687: Ist ein Englisher Channel, bitte besuchen sie #ubuntu-de fuer Deutsch support
[10:03] <theadmin> lol how to say support in german
[10:03] <ct529> erUSUL: and actually the command runlevel is part of the upstart package
[10:04] <hmw> theadmin: "Support" LOL
[10:04] <hernan> hello im hernanof argentina
[10:04] <gaspard> thnx for your advice brontosaurusrex , i gonna keep track of the install on http://freelancis.net/ressources/ubuntu/bonjour

[10:04] <sixofour> !br
[10:04] <charles_> I'm inclined to clear out all remnants/scraps of virtualizers not currently in use. i.e. - delete VMware files. Also perhaps delete the "Virtual Machine Manager" too. Is it a good idea to delete those? Will it hurt anything?
[10:04] <theadmin> charles_: Should not
[10:04] <brontosaurusrex> gaspard, cool, thanks
[10:04] <Ten-Eight> charles: no
[10:05] <erUSUL> ct529: if upstart or its sysV emulation does not work as spected fill a bug report
[10:05] <erUSUL> !bugs
[10:05] <charles_> Should not which? The VMware ones, or the Virtual Machine Manager?
[10:05] <theadmin> (note: ubuntu-bug currently does not work)
[10:05] <theadmin> charles_: Neither should hurt you, don't worry, remove them if you want
[10:06] <hernan> somebody is developer?
[10:06] <theadmin> hernan: What language? C? PHP? Java?
[10:06] <rsk> hernan what is the question?
[10:06] <hernan> php, something c
[10:06] <charles_> What is the Virtual Machine Manager? Is it a virtual machine program that comes with Ubuntu?
[10:06] <hernan> im web developer
[10:06] <hernan> javascript
[10:06] <hernan> ajax
[10:06] <theadmin> hernan: Ask in #php and #c correspondently
[10:06] <hernan> php
[10:06] <ct529> erUSUL: at the moment would like to find a solution and understand if it is a bug, or something we did, then will file a report
[10:06] <sixofour> apparently my fullscreen peopblem is because of compiz :(
[10:07] <hmw> !ask | hernan
[10:07] <sixofour> bye bye compiz :(
[10:07] <cbq> morning
[10:07] <theadmin> sixofour: Ah, compiz! You forgot to mention that, it always craps wine up
[10:07] <sixofour> how do i kill compiz"?
[10:07] <adamkex> sixofour: don't use compiz, wobble stuff and cube gets boring
[10:07] <erUSUL> ct529: so it is cups what is failing? anything in cups logs?
[10:07] <hernan> sorry im don't understand 1 second pls
[10:07] <sixofour> wine works fine, its ubuntu that doesn't
[10:07] <erUSUL> sixofour: metacity --replace
[10:07] <sixofour> applications using wine fullscreen peoperly
[10:07] <theadmin> sixofour: System - Preferences - Appearance - Desktop Effects - None for a permanent result
[10:07] <hmw> adamkex: Compiz is more than just eye candy.
[10:07] <ct529> erUSUL: no everything fine .... If you run /etc/init.d/cups start works perfectly well
[10:07] <Le_chiffre> moin
[10:07] <erUSUL> hernan: Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter.
[10:08] <adamkex> hmw: what is it good for?
[10:08] <sixofour> yes, i use the desktop cube alot, i wonder what function of compiz breaks me
[10:08] <cbq> question, after a reboot my prefered PS/2 keyboard isn't available at X but in bios and grub present. any idea? i also installed xserver-xorg-input-kbd and restarted the whole thing but nothing happend
[10:08] <erUSUL> ct529: "sudo update-rc.d cups defaults" returns that links already exist?
[10:08] <sixofour> lol hmw is the compiz king, don't get him started! :P
[10:08] <ct529> erUSUL: yes
[10:08] <theadmin> sixofour: Actually, it's not Ubuntu, it's GNOME. Because compiz is a gnome thing
[10:08] <charles_>  What is the Virtual Machine Manager? Is it a virtual machine program that comes with Ubuntu?
[10:08] <ct529> erUSUL: actually same problem with the servers .... mysql and postgresql
[10:09] <sixofour> theadmin:  compiz is not a gnome thing
[10:09] <theadmin> charles_: There is no such thing, it's a part of Virtualbox
[10:09] <sixofour> ive had it in kde also
[10:09] <theadmin> sixofour: It's developed for GNOME, i'd say
[10:09] <hernan> yes theadmin im developer in php
[10:09] <hernan> sorry
[10:09] <charles_> Oh. A second file associate with VBox. I see. Thanks
[10:09] <ct529> erUSUL: and other people have the same problem in upstart irc .... I do not understand why move to something unstable on something so important as the runlevels for goodness sake!
[10:09] <cbq> question, after a reboot my prefered PS/2 keyboard isn't available at X but in bios and grub present. any idea? i also installed xserver-xorg-input-kbd and restarted the whole thing but nothing happend
[10:09] <edomeda> I've got a problem (been a few weeks now) where my system will start a prolonged beep on boot and/or shutdown even though pcspkr and snd_pcsp modules are blacklisted.  Anyone know how to solve this?
[10:10] <hernan> i need to go, sorry, i've seen later
[10:10] <erUSUL> ct529: i've never had any problem myself
[10:10] <theadmin> charles_: Basically it's for configuring the virtual machines in VBox and starting them
[10:10] <jae> Anyone here have experience with maintaining Ubuntu client with cfengine?
[10:10] <nibbler> edomeda: you see some linux beforethe beeping? sounds like hw problem to me
[10:10] <erUSUL> ct529: do you remember editing something in /etc/init/ ? /etc/event.d/ ?
[10:11] <ct529> erUSUL: nope, never .... fresh installtion
[10:11] <edomeda> nibbler, sure, I see a few lines of services shutting down.  It's new, some updated broke it.
[10:11] <cbq> does someone have X / gnome experience  at the section PS/2 Keyboard?
[10:11] <edomeda> nibbler, problem is where there are like 16 updates at once, I have no idea which one did it. :(
[10:12] <ct529> erUSUL: I think the problem is on the 64 bit ....
[10:12] <erUSUL> ct529: only think i can think of now is to remove splash and quiet from kernel command line and see if you see something during boot
[10:12] <nibbler> edomeda: well, the output would be helpfull in debugging...
[10:12] <edomeda> nibbler, there are no errors, nothing out of the norm except the beep
[10:12] <theadmin> on bootup, on XSplash (the huge white Ubuntu logo), my screen starts flashing randomly and then the xsplash gets intervented for a few seconds with something like "Error... Please carefully read... on the manufacturer..." (can't read all of it, disappears to fast)
[10:12] <vega> is there some problem with the latest -20 kernel and nvidia proprietary drivers?
[10:13] <erUSUL> vega: shouldn't be. how you installed the nvidia drivers?
[10:13] <vega> (not being able to login, screwed up graphics etc.)
[10:13] <edomeda> nibbler, dmesg is clean, messages, Xorg log, etc.
[10:13] <ivan2> are some of you interested in lockerz? I can give invitations for those interested, mail me at hurin8888@gmail.com
[10:13] <vega> through package manager
[10:13] <erUSUL> !spam | ivan2
[10:13] <nibbler> edomeda: strange, no idea sorry
[10:14] <cbq> does someone have X / gnome experience  at the section PS/2 Keyboard?
[10:14] <ct529> erUSUL: I will aslo get a look at dmesg
[10:15] <rajkumar> cbq: What's the problem ?
[10:15] <hoonches> can you encrypt your home directory post installation?
[10:15] <erUSUL> ct529: /var/log/syslog /var/log/daemon.log /var/log/messages
[10:15] <hoonches> can you encrypt your home directory AFTER installation?
[10:15] <ct529> erUSUL: yes, I am looking
[10:15] <rajkumar> hoonches: No.
[10:15] <cbq> rajkumar: after a restart it's not working anymore. only at bios and grub till i reach the x login only the usb keyboard is working
[10:15] <charles_> I have same problem with permission to delete those. I have your instructions from before to delete, but can't get filepath this time.
[10:16] <rajkumar> cbq: Yeah.It's a known issue in Karmic.
[10:16] <cbq> rajkumar:  *clap*
[10:16] <hoonches> can encrypting your home directory cause any problems with the installation?
[10:16] <hoonches> on some systems
[10:16] <rajkumar> hoonches: Yes.Loss of data.
[10:16] <charles_> This time the file name displayed in the File Browser is Virtual Machine Manager (3 words this time, not one). How do I deal with that?
[10:16] <hoonches> rajkumar: really?
[10:16] <theadmin> hoonches: Depends on how you encrypt
[10:16] <nibbler> hoonches: it should not, but be sure to write down the key that you get displayed during setup
[10:17] <sqwertle> !paste
[10:17] <rajkumar> hoonches: Yes.
[10:17] <theadmin> charles_: quote them. Something like "sudo rm -rf "filepath""
[10:17] <cbq> rajkumar: what can i do? how to fix it? any chance?
[10:17] <rajkumar> cbq: At  the moment you can't do anything.Other than reinstalling OS.
[10:17] <ct529> erUSUL: nothing
[10:18] <cbq> rajkumar: u r kidding me, right?
[10:18] <rajkumar> cbq: Not all all.
[10:18] <rajkumar> cbq: Deadly serious.Been there and done that.
[10:18] <hoonches> rajkumar: when does the loss of data occur?
[10:19] <rajkumar> hoonches: It really depend on the method you use.
[10:19] <cbq> rajkumar: *crashing head on desk* well, the old damaged usb keyboard is also nice - loool - thx men
[10:19] <hoonches> rajkumar: ubuntu didn't give me any choice of method. im using the alternate install cd
[10:19] <rajkumar> cbq: I can understand your anger.
[10:19] <rajkumar> hoonches: No way!
[10:19] <rajkumar> hoonches: What is it >
[10:19] <hoonches> rajkumar: what?
[10:20] <rajkumar> hoonches: What alternate install cd are you using.
[10:20] <theadmin> Any actual advantages of Lilo (on alternate CD) over the good ol' GRUB?
[10:20] <hoonches> the ubuntu one
[10:20] <theadmin> rajkumar: The text-only install CD offered by Ubuntu.com
[10:20] <rajkumar> hoonches: Sorry .Never used it.
[10:20] <ct529> erUSUL: what is exactly the advantage of upstart on runlevel?
[10:20] <theadmin> Oh well, gotta go. Sorry.
[10:20] <rajkumar> ct529: Parallel start of the sevice.
[10:21] <rajkumar> ct529: More like asyn
[10:21] <edomeda> theadmin, good old grub isn't, default is grub2, which has issues with some raid (won't work) and other installs.  so grub1 or lilo is there
[10:21] <ct529> rajkumar: well, parallel does not really exist unless you have one core for process, does it?
[10:22] <ct529> rajkumar: but apart from that?
[10:22] <charles_> what is the command to make a line in terminal repeat without having to retype it?
[10:22] <ct529> rajkumar: it is a big change
[10:22] <rajkumar> ct529: Yes it is.
[10:23] <edomeda> charles_, up arrow, or use "history" a then !xxx
[10:23] <ct529> rajkumar: and it is not even production .... including it at this stage looks very risky .... :(
[10:23] <rajkumar> ct529: Like everything in Ubuntu.Nothing is production ready.
[10:24] <ct529> rajkumar: strange because you would have thought that offering paid commercial support meant that the software was production ready
[10:24] <Gnea> rajkumar: stable, LTR releases are not production ready?
[10:24] <rajkumar> ct529: That's a wishful thinking.
[10:25] <rajkumar> Gnea: LTR is just marketing nonsense.
[10:25] <ct529> rajkumar: on my part or on the part of canonical?
[10:25] <charles_> I type exactly the following, but it didn't work: sudo rm -rf "/usr/share/app-install/desktop/Virtual Machine Manager"
[10:25] <edomeda> 9.10 sure isn't, broke more of my (working hardware on 9.04)   I really wish I hadn't upgraded.
[10:25] <rajkumar> ct529: On Canonical.
[10:25] <Gnea> rajkumar: what's your point?
[10:25] <ct529> charles_: you should exacpe the spaces
[10:25] <ct529> charles_: sorry, excape
[10:25] <charles_> excape?
[10:25] <rajkumar> Gnea: My point is Ubuntu is not ready for serious usage.
[10:26] <charles_> I don't understand
[10:26] <Gnea> rajkumar: in what capacity?
[10:26] <rajkumar> Gnea: Do you want me to beat drumroll ?
[10:26] <ct529> charles_: :D instead of spaces " " write "\ "
[10:26] <raven> possible to trigger rsync by activity in a directory - other way to realtime-sync?
[10:26] <Gnea> rajkumar: pardon?
[10:26] <edomeda> why, he put quotes around them, that's same
[10:26] <rajkumar> Gnea: Quality of releases and support tools.
[10:26] <ct529> rajkumar: I have use din prodction environment for years .... since version 7 ....
[10:26] <rsk> rajkumar why is it depplyed in more than hundred thousands of computers in buisness enviroment and goverments
[10:26] <charles_> I don't understand. Can you type an example?
[10:26] <rsk> rajkumar if it's not ready
[10:27] <Gnea> rajkumar: you say it's not ready for serious usage. serious usage by who?
[10:27] <rajkumar> Gnea: Citation needed.
[10:27] <Gnea> rajkumar: I'm asking YOU.
[10:27] <rajkumar> Gnea: Wrong reply.
[10:27] <ct529> rajkumar:but I think some developers have become really reckless .... they should be kept in track.
[10:27] <raven> how to realtimeSYNC two directories (mirror)?
[10:27] <Gnea> rajkumar: yes, your reply is incorrect.
[10:27] <rajkumar> ct529: You are correct.
[10:27] <ct529> charles_: sudo rm -rf "/usr/share/app-install/desktop/Virtual\ Machine\ Manager"
[10:28] <edomeda> I'd agree with that ct529
[10:28] <ct529> charles_: even sudo rm -rf "/usr/share/app-install/desktop/Virtual\ Machine\ Manager*"
[10:28] <rajkumar> ct529: Every release comes own set of problmes.Things that works stop working and things doesnot work start working!
[10:28] <Gnea> rajkumar: I asked you a simple, straight-forward question: WHO is not ready to use Ubuntu seriously?
[10:28] <petsounds> rajkumar, stop whining and start fixing bugs.
[10:29] <ct529> rajkumar: exactly .... we cannot afford that on production environments .... technology changes should only be introduced onto releases when they are tested and working ....
[10:29] <rajkumar> Canonical should work hard to obtain certification  from Oracle,SAP for some relevance.
[10:29] <rajkumar> petsounds: I bought support and they failed me.
[10:29] <charles_> OK. I understand now. Thanks. For the record, I think Ubuntu is the best OS I've ever used. Certainly way better than any Windows, and I own all the Windows and instend to run them only as Virtual Machines.
[10:29] <rajkumar> ct529: Stable releases takes more than a year.
[10:29] <ct529> petsounds: we are not whining, and your approach will neve rhelp linux take seriously off in commercial envrionments
[10:30] <FireCrotch> rajkumar: how did paid support from canonical fail you?
[10:30] <Gnea> rajkumar: the support of Ubuntu is not the same as it is for other commercial products. You're trying to fit a square into a circle, it doesn't work like that.
[10:30] <ct529> petsounds: and I am one of the many many people who proposes linux, particularly *ubuntu, to professional users
[10:30] <rajkumar> FireCrotch: Sloppy answers and lack of understanding .
[10:30] <charles_> Ubuntu will be even better as I learn about Linux, but it was already great from the first day, though that's no doubt because I have a highly Linux skilled couple of friends who are tech professionals.
[10:31] <ct529> charles_: did it work?
[10:31] <rajkumar> FireCrotch: Not something you want from paid support professional.
[10:31] <FireCrotch> rajkumar: Can you give me an example of what you're talking about>
[10:31] <DeFiAnCeNL> Hi all
[10:31] <DeFiAnCeNL> can someone here help me out with a strange issue ?
[10:31] <rsk> !ask | DeFiAnCeNL
[10:32] <Gnea> what would be nice to happen is if a distribution of Ubuntu was made that adhered strictly to the specifications set forth by companies such as Redhat, not some wintendo-based company like Oracle.
[10:32] <rajkumar> FireCrotch: I waned to run tomcat in virtual host configuration.The performance was awful.
[10:32] <ct529> FireCrotch: introducing upstart for managing runlevels at version 0.6.5 which does not work for several people on 64 bit machines?
[10:32] <Gnea> but anyway
[10:32] <charles_> I tried the following, but it didn't work: sudo rm -rf "/usr/share/app-install/desktop/Virtual\ Machine\ Manager"
[10:32] <rajkumar> FireCrotch: So we open support ticket.
[10:32] <rajkumar> FireCrotch: We were asked to change tomcat configuation witout and justification.
[10:32] <FireCrotch> charles_: if you use quotes, you don't have to escape the spaces
[10:32] <rajkumar> FireCrotch: We did what they asked us to do and everything stoped working.
[10:32] <ct529> charles_: are you sure the file is actually there?
[10:32] <Gnea> charles_: try typing it like this:  sudo rm -rf /usr/share/app-install/desktop/Virt<tab>        <-- where <tab> is the tab key
[10:33] <rajkumar> FireCrotch: We found out from our own research that the trouble was with java version we were using.
[10:33] <DeFiAnCeNL> im trying to disable SSLv2 and low Ciphers, but the ubuntu server keeps accepting SSLv2 and reject SSLv3 with an error : SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number:s3_pkt.c:284, i have all packages up-to-date. (Openssl 0.9.8g | latest libssl )
[10:33] <DeFiAnCeNL> SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:!ADH
[10:33] <DeFiAnCeNL>  SSLProtocol all -SSLv2
[10:35] <FireCrotch> rajkumar: I don't see how support suggesting a different configuration to try to rectify the problem is "bad support"
[10:35] <ct529> charles_: do you mean by any chance /usr/share/app-install/desktop/virt-manager.desktop?
[10:35] <Gnea> rajkumar: I find it extremely difficult to believe that a company with even a semi-competant IT team can't figure out a way to maintain changes internally in a cost-effective manner.
[10:35] <Canti_> Is there a fast but strong encryption for an external hard drive? (640GB)
[10:36] <rajkumar> FireCrotch: Brillant!
[10:36] <rajkumar> Gnea: Wow!!!
[10:36] <Gnea> rajkumar: hrm?
[10:36] <Younder> Canti_, use the drive encryption
[10:36] <ct529> Gnea: was that a joke?
[10:36] <an0nym0us> hello guys
[10:36] <Gnea> ct529: did I put a smiley with it?
[10:36] <rajkumar> FireCrotch: Gnea Carry on guys.Ubuntu would be obsolete in next three years anyway.
[10:36] <charles_> No, ct529, that's not what I meant. It has spaces
[10:37] <charles_> Looking at in in the File Browser GUI though
[10:37] <Younder> rajkumar, so will Windows 7. It's a moving target
[10:37] <Canti_> Thanks Younder
[10:37] <rajkumar> Younder: No.
[10:37] <Gnea> rajkumar: you're entitled to your opinion, even if it's wrong.
[10:37] <ct529> could you please write ls -la sudo rm -rf /usr/share/app-install/desktop/Virt and then press the tab key, and let us see the result?
[10:37] <rsk> windows 7 isn't a moving target?
[10:37] <rajkumar> Gnea: we will see.
[10:37] <rsk> ofcourse it is
[10:38] <rsk> they release service packs
[10:38] <rsk> what will break drivers
[10:38] <edomeda> rajkumar, while I share your frustration with bugs and sloppy devs, your point is being lost in the current discussion.  You're just feeding the fanboys and looking like a troll in the process.   Best to take this to ubuntu-ot
[10:38] <rsk> that
[10:38] <FireCrotch> charles_: sudo rm -rf /usr/share/app-install/desktop/Virtual\ Machine\ Manager  - you don't have to use quotes if you escape the spaces with backslashes
[10:38] <rsk> also patches breaks drivers
[10:38] <ct529> Gnea: I am really sorry, but could you define bad support, if making the wrong configuration is not bad support? what is it? coming round and shooting your employees?
[10:38] <Gnea> rajkumar: what leads you believe that it's going to crash and burn instead of thrive?
[10:38] <rajkumar> edomeda: Agreed.
[10:39] <charles_> sudo rm -rf /usr/share/app-install/desktop/Virtual/ Machine/ Manager
[10:39] <charles_> Oops. Meant to try that in my terminal, not the chat thing. My bad
[10:39] <ct529> charles_: could you please write ls -la /usr/share/app-install/desktop/Virt and then press the tab key, and let us see the result?
[10:39] <FireCrotch> charles_: you have your slashes going the wrong direction for escaping the spaces
[10:39] <Gnea> ct529: bad support? hrm, let's see here... how about: a) refusing to solve the problem, b) not coming up with alternatives, c) piss-poor communication (like not calling back when you say you're going to), d) providing a solution that causes more problems than actual solutions, e) mis-diagnosing the problem.
[10:40] <ct529> Gnea: rajkumar: I would say that wrong configuration is DEFINITIVELY under the (d) and (e) points you mentioned
[10:41] <charles_> It doesn't work when slashes going other way either
[10:41] <Gnea> ct529: I'm going to agree with you there.
[10:41] <skraps> gnea: stuff happens , get over it, maybe they only give bad support to people who are asses
[10:42] <charles_> ct529, I copy pasted your commands into Terminal. Then hit Tab. Did nothing
[10:42] <FireCrotch> ct529: paid support cannot just magically determine what the best configuration is for every organization's needs/use. They make suggestions as to what could resolve your problem, and it's up to you to test that solution, and if it doesn't work/help, its the customers responsibility to tell them that
[10:42] <Gnea> skraps: then they don't want to stay in business, not my problem. next.
[10:43] <FireCrotch> ct529: If you need someone to completely set everything up and configure it for you, then you should be hiring a consultant
[10:43] <FireCrotch> not relying on support from canonical
[10:43] <skraps> at my job I only give good support to people I like, the rest can eat fish heads
[10:43] <uwjweq> How to find out the resolution of a png?
[10:44] <Gnea> FireCrotch: if Canonical doesn't provide such support, then perhaps their suggestion box needs a few more inquiries
[10:44] <brontosaurusrex> skraps, lol
[10:44] <sqwertle> After compiling something like a hello world program with Code::Blocks it creates an executable file in the directory the source was compiled in, however the executable doesn't seem to do anything at all when called from the ui or from terminal. Shouldn't cout'ing from an executable bring up the terminal and output the stored value?
[10:44] <brontosaurusrex> uwjweq, from command line or ... ?
[10:44] <edomeda> uwjweq, identify file.png
[10:44] <uwjweq> Thanks
[10:44] <FireCrotch> Gnea: To be honest, I haven't ever needed to deal with Canonical's support, so I don't know what the contract is like, etc
[10:44] <Gnea> FireCrotch: same here
[10:45] <FireCrotch> Gnea: I don't think it's feasible for Canonical to have actual support consultants that will do the entire job for you
[10:45] <charles_> I'm ready to give up. My liking for Linux being much strained at this point. This sucks
[10:45] <Gnea> FireCrotch: I've always had good luck working with irc and forums to find solutions, and if those didn't work, a new solution was found
[10:46] <charles_> Not that there is a better option. Windows sucks and is expensive. Mac maybe?
[10:46] <Gnea> charles_: what's the hangup?
[10:46] <charles_> I don't know what the hangup is. I can't delete these files.
[10:46] <alexxio_> hi, my gparted says i have overlapping partitions.. (so it says that my /dev/sda is empty, but my OSes are installed and working, i'm typing from there!)...cfdisk says i have partition 3 damaged (but it actually works)...this is my fdisk http://paste.ubuntu.com/396089/  , can you please help me reading where the problem is? i want to modify partitions on ubuntu but i can't because all the programs i used gives some error..
[10:46] <brontosaurusrex> charles_, whats the 'project' about?
[10:46] <charles_> Project?
[10:47] <Gnea> charles_: alright, well maybe we could start from scratch and try to make sure that each step is being performed correctly
[10:47] <skraps> charles: it gets better with time, sometimes its best to put it down take a break then look at the problem again
[10:47] <charles_> But when I can't even delete a file, that's a bit much. It's like not being able to walk
[10:47] <ct529> charles_: I went for some food. The it mean the file your ar elooking for is not there.
[10:47] <ecolitan> what does the + in a permission mean? e.g. -rw-r--rw-+
[10:48] <edomeda> charles_, you might try using "cd" to change to each level of directory before you try a full path...  IE cd /usr/share, cd app-install, cd desktop, etc.  And see where it gives you an error
[10:48] <edomeda> ecolitan, ACL (access control lists)
[10:48] <charles_> That I do know how to do
[10:48] <ecolitan> thank you edomeda
[10:49] <tech_help> can somebody tell me how to identify which process is using a particular port number?
[10:49] <edomeda> ecolitan, use fgetacl to read the "extra" acl perms
[10:49] <ct529> charles_: can you enter the directory, and pastebin a list of the files?
[10:49] <DeFiAnCeNL> im trying to disable SSLv2 and low Ciphers, but the ubuntu server keeps accepting SSLv2 and reject SSLv3 with an error : SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number:s3_pkt.c:284, i have all packages up-to-date. (Openssl 0.9.8g | latest libssl ) , ssl.conf : SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:!ADH and SSLProtocol all -SSLv2
[10:49] <skraps> charels: `sudo rm -Rf *file*foo` can delete anything
[10:49] <edomeda> echinos, er, getfacl, sorry it's late here. :)
[10:50] <Gnea> charles_: does the /Virtual\ Machine\ Manager/ directory actually exist if you type ls while cd'd to the parent directory?
[10:50] <ct529> alexxio_: are those 7 primary partitions????
[10:50] <edomeda> tech_help, as root (netstat -e -p -t)
[10:50] <Gnea> tech_help: sudo netstat -nap | grep <port>
[10:51] <ct529> charles_: I mean the  /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ directory of course :)
[10:51] <sqwertle> I have built and compiled http://paste.ubuntu.com/396093/ and it is creaitng an executable. However, I can call the program form the UI or from the terminal and it is not showing any output whatsoever.
[10:51] <Gnea> charles_: for instance, in the terminal, if you type this:  cd /usr/share/app-install/desktop/  and press enter, does it come back with an error?
[10:52] <charles_> OK, I'm in the terminal now cd to /usr/share/app-install/desktop$
[10:52] <alexxio_> @ct529: actually i can't prove it, but i think they're not all primary
[10:52] <charles_> Now ready to try again. What to do now?
[10:52] <Gnea> charles_: okay, now type:   ls -l
[10:52] <charles_> ls -l
[10:52] <Gnea> yes, but in the terminal :)
[10:53] <charles_> Oh F. I typed in chat window instead of Terminal. My bad. Typing in Terminal now.
[10:53] <ct529> alexxio_: they really look like primary partitions .... possibly that would be a problem .... but I don't understand how you did that ....
[10:53] <Gnea> heh, no problem
[10:53] <phrix> all, I want to build a web server, what are the needs....??
[10:53] <Gnea> !lamp | phrix
[10:53] <phrix> I'm running karmic desktop
[10:53] <charles_> Got a very long file list
[10:53] <edomeda> squarepeg, remove the cin.get(), and add "<< endl;" to your cout line.  But programming questions are better asked in #c++
[10:53] <ct529> alexxio_: what does gparted show you?
[10:54] <ct529> alexxio_: how many primary partitions?
[10:54] <ct529> charles_: use paste,
[10:54] <Gnea> charles_: does your mouse have a scroll wheel on it?
[10:54] <sqwertle> edomeda: Was that directed at me? ... squarepeg... :(
[10:54] <alexxio_> @ct529: i installed windows, then i parted for a free space (for data) and for linux, then i installed ubuntu, and then mandriva..
[10:54] <ct529> charles_: use paste.ubuntu.com
[10:54] <alexxio_> @ct529: gparted says all the space is unallocated
[10:54] <edomeda> sqwertle, yes, my bad.
[10:54] <ct529> alexxio_: yes, run gparted and see how many of those partitions are primary
[10:54] <sqwertle> edomeda: I'm afraid that hasn't worked however
[10:55] <ct529> alexxio_: ????
[10:55] <edomeda> sqwertle, are you running it in a term?
[10:55] <DeFiAnCeNL> im trying to disable SSLv2 and low Ciphers, but the ubuntu server keeps accepting SSLv2 and reject SSLv3 with an error : SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number:s3_pkt.c:284, i have all packages up-to-date. (Openssl 0.9.8g | latest libssl ) , ssl.conf : SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:!ADH and SSLProtocol all -SSLv2
[10:55] <sqwertle> edomeda: Yes, I am.
[10:55] <brontosaurusrex> phrix, or the lighty way http://www.ubuntugeek.com/lighttpd-webserver-setup-with-php5-and-mysql-support.html
[10:55] <edomeda> sqwertle, does it just return to the command line?
[10:55] <sqwertle> edomeda: It's not showing any errors as if it weren't the correct dir but it's not showing any output
[10:55] <alexxio_> yes, the problem is that..on ubuntu gparted says there are overlapping partitions, so it give an error... i can see partitions in mandriva (with its partition manager) and windows..
[10:55] <sqwertle> yes
[10:55] <sqwertle> edomeda: yes
[10:55] <charles_> I don't understand about the paste.ubuntu.com stuff, but I did paste the command text from chat to terminal. It worked. Got file list
[10:56] <edomeda> sqwertle, echo $? after you run it
[10:56] <brontosaurusrex> phrix, however i would recommend apache, unless you know what you are doing
[10:56] <sqwertle> edomeda: I'm not entirely sure what you just asked me, or said if that wasn't a question
[10:56] <ct529> alexxio_: well, then ust go into mandriva
[10:56] <edomeda> sqwertle, run your program, then type "echo $?" without quotes
[10:56] <Gnea> charles_: alright, forget about the paste site thing. do you have a scroll wheel on your mouse?
[10:56] <charles_> Guess what? The filename is really /usr/share/app-install/desktop$
[10:56] <charles_> when viewed from Terminal window. Not the same name as I was earlier seeing in the File Browser gui window
[10:56] <alexxio_> ok i reconnect from mdv..
[10:56] <sqwertle> edomeda: "1"
[10:57] <ct529> charles_: if you click on the paste.ubuntu.com or link you understand
[10:57] <charles_> Yes, I have a scroll wheel mouse
[10:57] <Gnea> ct529: he's confused enough as it is, let's keep it simple
[10:57] <edomeda> sqwertle, ok, so there is an error with program, it should be return code 0.   Are you sure it compiled successfully?
[10:57] <developer> how do I open port 3306 for a specific net, just say 10.30.30.X for example
[10:57] <sqwertle> edomeda: As sure as I can be.
[10:58] <Gnea> charles_: alright, you can use it to scroll the list of files up and down so you can see them all, alphabetically. do you see the Virtual Machine Manager/ listed there somewhere?
[10:58] <charles_> What I meant to say earlier is that the terminal file list shows the file name is really virt-manager.desktop
[10:58] <sqwertle> edomeda: According to code::blocks it compiled successfully with 0 errors and 0 warnings
[10:58] <ct529> Gnea: ok, but I have to go back to work .... charles_ I am sure Gnea will know how to help you, sorry but work is calling ....
[10:58] <phrix> brontosaurusrex, thx, I mean like that, php, mysql and apache
[10:58] <Gnea> ct529: cheers :)
[10:58] <ubuntunewbie> hi does anyone know what code or application to watch downloade flash AVC H264 ? I tried with smplayer and VLC it doesn't work
[10:58] <charles_> No spaces in name, not even same name as what the gui File Browser showed. I think that was the problem right there. I think I can delete it nowl
[10:58] <charles_> now
[10:58] <edomeda> sqwertle, in your term, type gdb yourapp, when it comes up with a prompt type run.  Then pastebin the results
[10:58] <brontosaurusrex> ubuntunewbie, both should work
[10:59] <Gnea> charles_: okay. the thing about that file is, is that virt-manager.desktop is a file, not a desktop. it also starts with a lower-case v, not an upper-case V
[10:59] <ubuntunewbie> brontosaurusrex : nope it doesn't play any of those .flv which had encoded with AVC H264 flv
[10:59] <Gnea> charles_: sorry, I totally screwed up - virt-manager.desktop is a file, not a *directory*
[10:59] <mrguser> I.m here
[11:00] <phox_> Hi! Is there a program/command line that automaticcly unrars every .rar-archive in a certain folder? If possible, i want to it to delete the rar-archives after they've been unrared.
[11:00] <ubuntunewbie> brontosaurusrex : I am able to view and play it at the browser but not when I downloaded it
[11:00] <sqwertle> edomeda: http://paste.ubuntu.com/396095/
[11:00] <charles_> It's all good. I think I know what to do now. Give me a minute and I think I'll have it whipped.
[11:00] <ubuntunewbie> brontosaurusrex : such as flash .flv fmt=35 from youtube
[11:00] <Gnea> alright
[11:00] <alexxio> Ct549 are you still there?
[11:00] <ubuntunewbie> any help guys ?
[11:00] <edomeda> sqwertle, you didn't get the program binary loaded... be sure you're in the same dir
[11:00] <Gnea> alexxio: work called him away
[11:01] <alexxio> Ok tnx
[11:01] <sqwertle> edomeda: Oh dear sorry. I used "gdb yourapp" rather than <yourapp=filename>, one moment
[11:01] <sziszi> which Virtualization software could record my voice if I made a record?
[11:02] <sqwertle> edomeda: http://paste.ubuntu.com/396099/
[11:02] <edomeda> sqwertle, well that says it's working.   When you tried to run it, you use ./yourapp from the command line?
[11:03] <max_atreides> is there a terminal tool to replace gnome-network-manager and nm-applet to see and connect to wireless network? I hate the fact that my connection drops every time i kill X.
[11:03] <sqwertle> edomeda: Nope.
[11:03] <edomeda> sqwertle, ah, try that, from inside the directory
[11:03] <sziszi>  which Virtualization software could record my voice if I made a record?
[11:03] <sqwertle> edomeda: Well that most certainly solved that... Is it possible to execute it from the UI?
[11:03] <phox_> Hi! Is there a program/command line that automaticcly unrars every .rar-archive in a certain folder? If possible, i want to it to delete the rar-archives after they've been unrared.
[11:04] <edomeda> sqwertle, sure, use the codeblocks run menu option
[11:04] <sziszi> phon unrar  && rm
[11:04] <sqwertle> edomeda: So it can't be run standalone?
[11:04] <jalal> hi
[11:04] <edomeda> sqwertle, as long as you told codeblocks it's a terminal program, and to pause on exit, you should see it
[11:04] <jalal> no sound
[11:05] <edomeda> sqwertle, not sure I understand, it's a console app, which needs to be run from inside a terminal.  What UI are you talking about?
[11:05] <DeFiAnCeNL> im trying to disable SSLv2 and low Ciphers, but the ubuntu server keeps accepting SSLv2 and reject SSLv3 with an error : SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number:s3_pkt.c:284, i have all packages up-to-date. (Openssl 0.9.8g | latest libssl ) , ssl.conf : SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:!ADH and SSLProtocol all -SSLv2
[11:05] <sqwertle> edomeda: The file browser I suppose?
[11:05] <charles_> Success! The problem was that I was using the filename shown in the gui File Browser, which was "Virtual Machine Manager". However, the real filename was shown only in Terminal Window when I did a file list. The real name was virt-machine.desktop. Once I deleted the real filename, it worked fine.
[11:05] <RoughMaster> ?
[11:06] <charles_> I get frustrated with Ubuntu sometimes because I'm a newbie, but I know it's great stuff and will only get better as I gain experience with it. I'll never go back to Windows again.
[11:06] <charles_> Thanks people for your help
[11:06] <sqwertle> edomeda: Sorry, I come from programming in NT. I was hoping for it to be able to compile console applications in the way that an NT system would; run the executable it opens the console and runs, similarly if I were to run the executable from the file browser it would open the terminal and 'work'.
[11:07] <edomeda> sqwertle, you just need to launch your terminal of choice, then use -e '/path/yourapp' to run it
[11:07] <ubuntunewbie> any help guys ?
[11:08] <vagvaf> i use to run a programm by typing in the terminal : python /path/to/program.py. i want to add it as an application to the main menu. however when i use the same command in the main menu editor the program win't run. any idea what may i be doing wrong ?
[11:08] <Arkns> hi. I installed a pack call python-matplotlib on my Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS. his version is 0.91. I would like to update just this package (not entire system) to his newer version that is 0.99. how I do that?
[11:08] <Arkns> I use apt-get
[11:08] <sqwertle> edomeda: So then something executalbe with a GUI would be capable of running without being launched from terminal but any sort of console application must be run from the terminal?
[11:08] <edomeda> sqwertle, apps don't specifically run a term, you need to run it from inside one.  You can make a launcher shortcut to run say gnome-terminal, that then runs your app if that helps.
[11:08] <erUSUL> Arkns: probably the only option is to install from source
[11:08] <erUSUL> !compile | Arkns
[11:09] <rsk> Arkns either find a ppa with a newer package, or install outside of apt-get
[11:09] <Arkns> ppa? what is?
[11:09] <sqwertle> edomeda: I'm sorry if I have too many questions, I'm trying to get my bearing after switching over from windows.
[11:09] <rsk> Arkns personal package archive
[11:09] <Arkns> and how do I remove only this pack without remove his dependancies?
[11:10] <Arkns> humm... like a DEB file?
[11:10] <rsk> ye like that
[11:10] <edomeda> sqwertle, again, not sure what your asking, but you need to run a terminal app in the GUI (xorg) to see/run a console app, yes.
[11:10] <Cheeze> hi there, anyone good at cifs/smb here?
[11:11] <DeFiAnCeNL> vagvaf , member:python /path/to/program.py try sudo ?
[11:11] <edomeda> sqwertle, windows does the same thing, just auto-launches the cmd.exe for you.
[11:11] <rsk> !ask | Cheeze
[11:12] <charles_> Triple success at deleting all 3 files now. The key was to do a file list from the Terminal so I knew the true file name, not the pseudo gui name the File Browser shows. I think my learning curve with Ubuntu is faster that it was with Windows years ago. One thing for sure, Ubuntu runs faster on my 64 bit PC, and is more stable, and more virus resistant.
[11:12] <charles_> i.e. - Ubuntu rocks!
[11:12] <sqwertle> edomeda: Ah, thank you, that clarifies everything.
[11:12] <edomeda> sqwertle, yw, gl
[11:12] <Arkns> is there a way to remove only this pack without remove his dependancies?
[11:12] <charles_> Though Ubuntu is (I've heard), relative virus resistant, what can I do to make it even more virus resistant?
[11:13] <charles_> Ubuntu virus scanners or other measures I can or should take?
[11:13] <edomeda> Arkns, you tried apt-get remove package?
[11:13] <Cheeze> I run freeNAS in a mixed environment linux/bsd/MS, and I use cifs/smb as a share. On my client(ubuntu) I need to be able to use that share like any other folder, ie; search for files and so on. but I can't. what to do?
[11:13] <Arkns> edomeda: yes
[11:13] <sinistrad> charles_, clamav is an antivirus you can grab
[11:13] <OerHeks> !antivirus
[11:13] <Arkns> edomeda:  no no no
[11:14] <JEEBsv> charles_: Linux is by design very much definite in the way that you usually operate in your own little sandbox with not much power you have outside of your /home/username folder
[11:14] <Arkns> edomeda: if I do that, I remove his dependencies... right?
[11:14] <edomeda> Arkns, ?
[11:14] <vagvaf> DeFiAnCeNL: Failed to execute child process "member:python" (No such file or directory)
[11:14] <Arkns> edomeda: and I want just update one package...
[11:14] <edomeda> Arkns, no, it will tell you if it thinks the deps are no longer needed, and it's up to you to remove them.
[11:14] <phox_> Hi! Is there a program/command line that automaticcly unrars every .rar-archive in a certain folder? If possible, i want to it to delete the rar-archives after they've been unrared.
[11:14] <FireCrotch> Arkns: apt-get remove package does not remove the dependencies of the package
[11:14] <Arkns> hmmm. ok. trying. thank you all guys
[11:15] <erUSUL> phox_: for file in *.rar; do unrar x "$file" && rm "$file"; done
[11:15] <edomeda> phox_, "for file in *.rar; do unrar $file; rm $file; done"
[11:16] <Arkns> well... I try it and his want to remove his dependencies... but I copy all packs and I will installed one by one
[11:17] <LinuxAdmin> hi guys
[11:17] <Cheeze> hi
[11:17] <rsk> hi
[11:17] <FireCrotch> Arkns: it shouldn't try to remove the dependencies. it *does* tell you "The following packages are installed and no longer needed" though.
[11:17] <DeFiAnCeNL> vafvaf
[11:17] <DeFiAnCeNL> no dont do it exactly
[11:17] <DeFiAnCeNL> do
[11:17] <leorolla> Hi! (first post to IRC in my life)
[11:17] <LinuxAdmin> I'm trying to install ubuntu-vm-builder package but I'm getting some troubles with repositories
[11:17] <phox_> erusul: where "x" is the name of the archive? Well, the thing is that i want the command to unrar a whole disk of media :P hehe.
[11:18] <erUSUL> phox_: no x is the flag/option i usually use with unrar. "man unrar"
[11:18] <Arkns> FireCrotch: "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:" that he is talk...
[11:18] <erUSUL> phox_: "$file" is the filename
[11:18] <erUSUL> !cli | phox_
[11:18] <leorolla> Anyone here?
[11:18] <ardchoille> LinuxAdmin: That package is in universe
[11:18] <DeFiAnCeNL> vagvaf sudo /path/to/python /path/to/pythonscript
[11:19] <LinuxAdmin> I know, but it returns an error with package size
[11:19] <FireCrotch> Arkns: yes, that, exactly. It doesn't remove them. I promise.  It should say something like "You can use apt-get autoremove to remove these packages"
[11:19] <erUSUL> phox_: the command will iterate over all rar files in the dirctory you are in and unrar all files then remove them
[11:19] <phox_> erusuL: thats not really what im looking for but thx anyway :)
[11:19] <vagvaf> ok DeFiAnCeNL, i'll try it thanks:)
[11:19] <ubuntunewbie> hi does anyone know what code or application to watch downloade flash AVC H264 ? I tried with smplayer and VLC it doesn't work
[11:19] <FireCrotch> leorolla: Welcome to the Ubuntu support channel! Is there something that we can help you with?
[11:20] <LinuxAdmin> and apt-get recommends running the command with --fix-missing parameter, but I get the same error
[11:20] <jrib> vagvaf: you shouldn't have to sudo... especially if you didn't before
[11:20] <edomeda> erUSUL, maybe we both miss-understood him, or he just doesn't understand the answer. :)
[11:20] <erUSUL> phox_: it you want to traverse a whole tre use this « find -name '*.rar' -type f -execdir unrar x '{}' + »
[11:20] <erUSUL> tree*
[11:20] <hexdump_> hello everyone
[11:20] <LinuxAdmin> any ideias?
[11:21] <ardchoille> erUSUL: Nice, I'll add that to my notes
[11:21] <erUSUL> edomeda: probably the later
[11:21] <LinuxAdmin> I'm trying to install virtualization with KVM, but I need ubuntu-vm-builder
[11:21] <Arkns> FireCrotch: you right. now I read all text. hehehe sorry. I'm a bit nervous doing that on production server. thank you
[11:21] <phox_> erusul: okey, ill try that. But that if the .rar-archives are called like .r01 and so on? would it still work?
[11:21] <phox_> edomeda: lol, i understood the anser, just that it wasnt the answer i was looking for
[11:21] <LinuxAdmin> I've read somewhere that the packages is "vmbuilder" for newer OS versions
[11:22] <Cheeze> any hints? or should I be more patient?
[11:22] <LinuxAdmin> I've got ubuntu server 9.10
[11:22] <FireCrotch> Arkns: It's much better to double check here and feel foolish than it is to accidentally break a production server and get fired :)
[11:22] <edomeda> phox_, it was the answer for the question you asked, you needed to ask a different question to get a different answer. :[
[11:22] <erUSUL> phox_: no; you can do this though « find -name '*.rar' -name '*.r01' -type f -execdir unrar x '{}' + »
[11:22] <ardchoille> !info vmbuilder | LinuxAdmin
[11:22] <erUSUL> phox_: multi part rar archives have a corresponding *.rar or you can use the *.r01 to unpack the whole thing
[11:23] <erUSUL> phox_: the find does not removes the rar files; but you can run « find -name '*.rar' -type f -delete + » after the unrar is finished
[11:24] <LinuxAdmin> I can't find vmbuilder anywhere, so I suppose that I have to use ubunto-vm-builder
[11:24] <erUSUL> phox_: check all this commands before running them for good (spcially the removing one)
[11:24] <LinuxAdmin> but I«m getting this problem
[11:24] <edomeda> erUSUL, or just chain another -exec rm "{}" \; to the end of your first find. :)
[11:25] <jrib> edomeda, erUSUL: it's probably a better idea to only run the rm if the unrar was successful
[11:25] <robertzaccour> is there a 64 bit netbook edition of any buntu?
[11:25] <LinuxAdmin> perhaps if I try with another repository source I can install it, what do you think?
[11:25] <jrib> edomeda, erUSUL: and you have to account for multi-part archives I guess
[11:26] <iceroot> robertzaccour: you dont need 64bit on a netbook because oyu dont have 4gb ram or more on them
[11:26] <erUSUL> jrib: my first version did that ;) ok here you go « find -name '*.rar' -name '*.r01' -type f -execdir sh -c 'unrar x $1 && rm $1' _ + »
[11:26] <ardchoille> LinuxAdmin: Be careful and use only repos for Ubuntu Karmic, mixing repos can be disastrous
[11:26] <phox_> erusul: okey! So i ran the command after i cd'ed to ~/Downloads/, and then it says: find: `./.BitTornado': Permission denied"
[11:26] <Arkns> FireCrotch: really is. thank god this channel exists :D
[11:26] <xarvh> question: is there anyway to prevent the audio from pausing whenever a disk interrupt occours?
[11:26] <LinuxAdmin> ok, thanks
[11:26] <robertzaccour> iceroot, i don't have a netbook, however i like the netbook interface and it would rock if there is a 64 bit version
[11:27] <sinistrad> edomeda, erUSUL: could I drop the first command you listed into a shell script and execute it? I understand I'll need to put #!/bin/bash at the beginning and chmod it.
[11:27] <iceroot> robertzaccour: the interface you can install on any ubuntu
[11:27] <robertzaccour> iceroot, oh ok thanks
[11:27] <edomeda> sinistrad, of course
[11:27] <MistressSkittle> heh my netbook hates me
[11:27] <erUSUL> jrib: phox_ use more quotes! they said in #bash  « find -name '*.rar' -name '*.r01' -type f -execdir sh -c 'unrar x "$1" && rm "$1" ' _ + »
[11:27] <sinistrad> edoceo, cool. I was looking for a tool such as that a while back
[11:27] <LinuxAdmin> anybody knows why #ubuntu-server channel is so quiet?
[11:27] <sinistrad> edomeda, , cool. I was looking for a tool such as that a while back
[11:28] <LinuxAdmin> noone answering questions...
[11:28] <erUSUL> sinistrad: all i wrotte is directly executable in a command line
[11:28] <Stargaze> your netbook hates me too, MistressSkittle
[11:28] <jrib> erUSUL: it won't delete .r02 though
[11:28] <MistressSkittle> no just me
[11:28] <Stargaze> LinuxAdmin, the US is asleep right now
[11:28] <FireCrotch> LinuxAdmin: I don't see anyone asking questions either....
[11:28] <MistressSkittle> ..lol im in alabama
[11:28] <edomeda> jrib, use a regexp, '*.r[0-9][0-9]'
[11:28] <Cheeze> I asked one some time ago
[11:29] <MistressSkittle> only most of the US is sleeping
[11:29] <jrib> edomeda: well you want to match on the name of the archive too
[11:29] <sinistrad> MistressSkittle, what part of AL?
[11:29]  * jrib stops adding requirements
[11:29] <MistressSkittle> mobile
[11:29] <Xserver> any idea of a good Quad NIC with hardware Vlan support ?
[11:29] <edomeda> jrib, use a regexp, '*.r(ar|[0-9][0-9])' :p
[11:29] <FireCrotch> LinuxAdmin, Cheeze: feel free to ask your questions again in -server and I'll see what I can do to help
[11:30] <Cheeze> I run freeNAS in a mixed environment linux/bsd/MS, and I use cifs/smb as a share. On my client(ubuntu) I need to be able to use that share like any other folder, ie; search for files and so on. I'm not talking about just accessing the folder.  what to do?
[11:30] <erUSUL> jrib: phox_ use more quotes! they said in #bash  « find -name '*.rar' -name '*.r01' -type f -execdir sh -c 'unrar x "$1" && rm "${1%.rar}.r*" ' _ + »
[11:30] <jrib> edomeda: nah, like if it's movie.rar movie.r01 and movie.r02, and you extract successfully, then it should only delete movie.rar and movie.r[0-9]+
[11:30] <edomeda> of course, this doesn't take into consideration that the archives could contain *.r* files
[11:30] <otrs_fail> hi
[11:30] <Cheeze> thanks
[11:30] <otrs_fail> anyone familiar with otrs here?
[11:30] <Gnea> MistressSkittle: not for much longer, the roosters are about to have their say ;)
[11:31] <jrib> erUSUL: that's probably close enough
[11:31] <MistressSkittle> lol yeah
[11:31] <erUSUL> jrib: ok glad i passed the test ;P
[11:31] <MistressSkittle> i had to get my sister up for school
[11:31] <Gnea> got the week off here
[11:32] <phox_> erusul: now it said "find: missing argument to `-execdir'"..
[11:32] <edomeda> phox_, add a \; to the end
[11:32] <MistressSkittle> so anyone else have a netbook in here..
[11:32] <Gnea> heh, I do
[11:33] <Gnea> it's an asus
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> MistressSkittle:  lots of us do.
[11:33] <MistressSkittle> oic
[11:33] <Gnea> but I haven't installed ubuntu on it yet, haven't had the time
[11:33] <tinman> hello
[11:33] <MistressSkittle> ... then y'all  should be able to help me xDD
[11:33] <phox_> edomeda: okey, so the command would be "find -name '*.rar' -name '*.r01' -type f -execdir sh -c 'unrar x "$1" && rm "$1" ' _ + \;"? Cuz then it gives me that .bittorando crap again
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> MistressSkittle:  totally depends on the exact netbook and the exact problem
[11:33] <Cheeze> FireCrotch, any clues? I tried editing /etc/fstab without success
[11:33] <Gnea> I run it via usb flashdrive now and then :)
[11:33] <erUSUL> phox_: « find -name '*.rar' -name '*.r01' -type f -execdir sh -c 'unrar x "$1" && rm "${1%.rar}.r*" ' _ \; »
[11:33] <MistressSkittle> oh i know all to well xD
[11:34] <erUSUL> phox_: drop the + if you use \;
[11:34] <tinman> ubuntu install is easy why fight
[11:34] <Gnea> MistressSkittle: well let 'er rip and we'll see what we can do
[11:34] <tinman> what was d problem
[11:34] <Stargaze> ubuntu install takes about 20 minutes
[11:34] <FireCrotch> Cheeze: If you use fusesmb, your searches should at least work properly with the shares
[11:35] <erUSUL> jrib: you make me write it too complex... now we will be unable to debug it ;P
[11:35] <Cheeze> ah, ok. apt-get install?
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> Ive had 'fusesmb' not work very well for me in the past.
[11:35] <phox_> edomeda: still gives me permission denied.. weird
[11:35] <jrib> erUSUL: heh, sorry :P
[11:35] <tinman> use sudo
[11:35] <phox_> oh yeah ill try
[11:35]  * erUSUL scared ... sudo and find ....
[11:35] <MistressSkittle> well i have #!(crunchbang) installed on here...  i have found it works nice...  but it seem when i try to install the custom kuki kernel.. it outputs the following " Hmm. There is a symbolic link /lib/modules/2.6.29.1.20090414.sickboy/build
[11:35] <MistressSkittle>  However, I can not read it: No such file or directory"
[11:36] <tinman> what is that ur tryin to do?
[11:36] <jrib> !crunchbang | MistressSkittle
[11:36] <MistressSkittle> and my netbook is an acer aspire one 75h
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> MistressSkittle:  I suggest using the normal ubuntu os' or the netbook remix version
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> UNR has worked very well on my AAO
[11:36] <tinman> all hav the same ach
[11:36] <FireCrotch> Cheeze: yes, apt-get install fusesmb  should do the trick :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb for more info
[11:36] <Cheeze> ok, thanks a lot
[11:36] <Gnea> MistressSkittle: okay, #crunchbag will be able to help you better than we can
[11:37] <MistressSkittle> ... i was but.. ubuntu hates me
[11:37] <andrews> anybody knows how ubuntu 9.10  supports video card ati x1300?
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> MistressSkittle:  Odd.. UNR works very well on my netbook.
[11:37] <Gnea> MistressSkittle: I find that difficult to believe lol
[11:37] <andrews> I've been using fedora 12 ,but it doesn't works well on it
[11:37] <MistressSkittle> ...heh it does..
[11:38] <MistressSkittle> but i shall switch channels now
[11:38] <jrib> erUSUL: are you sure $1 can be used like that in find?  I thought it passed the argument as '{}'
[11:38] <Gnea> MistressSkittle: if crunchbag doesn't bag it for ya, come on back and we'll try to diagnose your ubuntu issue. good luck
[11:38] <erUSUL> jrib: if you use a shell script in -exec thats the way you do it
[11:39] <erUSUL> jrib: with the underscore and {} -->  find ... -exec sh -c '..."$1"...' _ {} \;
[11:40] <charles_> I still can't install VirtualBox because it still says it has a conflict with previously installed VirtualBox OSE. This problem persists even AFTER I deleted all files related to VBox in the /usr/share/app-install/desktop directory earlier.
[11:40] <charles_> So I decided to go back to tryinig to install VMware. But to do that, I need root access. How do I get that?
[11:40] <mgolisch> charles_: did you uninstall the virtualbox-ose apckages?
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> charles_:  how are you installing and uninstallinb virtualbox without root access?
[11:41] <charles_> Yes. That wasn't enough to install the Sun version of VirtualBox. So then I had to delete a couple files too, from the directory I mentioned above. Still couldn't install the Sun version of Virtual Box.
[11:41] <jrib> erUSUL: hmm, I see
[11:42] <erUSUL> jrib: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/UsingFind
[11:42] <mgolisch> if it says conflict it means the ose packages are still there
[11:42] <jrib> erUSUL: thanks
[11:42] <aioobe> how come the "tzdata" package wants to be updated about once every month? (has been so for me the past 6 months or so)
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> aioobe:  corrections to world time zone changes i imagine
[11:43] <aioobe> really?
[11:43] <charles_> The first (crappy) version of VirtualBox is part of Ubuntu addons available in Ubuntu, but lacks USB support in Guest OS. So I was suggested to download and try the better version of VBox from Sun, but it can't install because the other version has been on this host op sys.
[11:43] <aioobe> that often?
[11:43] <Pici> aioobe: Yes. The changelogs indicate as much.
[11:43] <erUSUL> aioobe: there is allways some country in the world that changes its hour in some form or the other?
[11:43] <aioobe> aha. thanks.
[11:43] <charles_> No amount of Uninstalling Vbox crummy version will get rid of it from my Ubuntu so I can install the better one.
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> aioobe:  the state of indiana changes stuff for their timezones every year it seems. :)  if not more often...
[11:44] <ilgeniodelmale> ciao
[11:44] <aioobe> Dr_Willis: heheh :-) okey.
[11:44] <sanderj> How come.. resolving hostnames dosnt work after I install resolvconf?. I added dns-search and dns-nameservers in a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces..After reboot the resolv.conf file wont be written, only  after manuall restart of the network.
[11:44] <charles_> I'd rather have VMware anyway since I have prior experience with it as a user of guest OS, though I've never installed VMware myself before.
[11:45] <charles_> VMware says I need root access, but VMware instructions are crap. I don't know command line stuff well enough to do it without good instructions. VMware gives instructions of what to do after having root access, but no instructions about how to get root access.
[11:45] <OerHeks> !root
[11:46] <charles_> I type Sudo. Did NOT help. How do I know when I have root access?
[11:47] <ilgeniodelmale> xdcc list
[11:47] <user22> hello, i'm having some sound problems with ubuntu
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> charles_:  sudo command
[11:47] <Slart> charles_: try    sudo -i
[11:47] <user22> so, you know the blue hole :D
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> charles_:  you may want to learn a little more linux fundamentals
[11:47] <user22> how do i configure that to be the "line out" instead of the green?
[11:47] <charles_> Love to. How?
[11:47] <user22> because green doesn't work
[11:47] <Slart> charles_: that will get you a root terminal.. or you have to put sudo in front of every command.. ie sudo ls, sudo blablabla blabla and so on
[11:47] <OerHeks> read the manual or  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> charles_:  you could of statrted by reading the URL the bot gave about SUDO just now
[11:47] <Martijn> Can I move my home folder with a symbolic link?
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> Martijn:  You can have symlinks to /home/XXX or whatever - yes.
[11:48] <theadmin> Martijn: You can symlink OR use usermod.
[11:48] <ilgeniodelmale> !list
[11:48] <Pici> sanderj: Assuming that you are getting a dhcp address from somewhere, take a look at /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf, specificly at the prepend domain-name-servers line, uncomment and modify to suit your DNS server(s).
[11:48] <erUSUL> Martijn: should work but if you are moving it to its own partition seems easier to just mount that partition in /home/

[11:49] <flotopoco> hola alguien habla español?
[11:49] <user22> how do i configure the blue hole to be line out instead of green on ubuntu? green is broken
[11:49] <user22> and i want to get sounds work
[11:49] <Slart> !es | flotopoco
[11:49] <erUSUL> !es | flotopoco
[11:49] <flotopoco> okey
[11:50] <theadmin> user22: blue hole?!
[11:50] <user22> yeah, in my sound card :)
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> user22:  perhaps via jackd

[11:50] <sanderj> Pici, I have a static ip.
[11:50] <l700> i have karmic koala on my computer and transferred some mp4 videos to my Samsung SGH-L700 mobile phone. Whenever I try to play them I either get the error message "Invalid file" or "unsupported file type". What gives?
[11:51] <flotopoco> my computer is Core 2 Quad 2.4 4 gb ram Ge Force 8600 GT... im using windows seven ultimate 64 bits, what version of ubuntu 9.10 I must download????
[11:51] <theadmin> l700: Mainly because of wrong bitrate or codec
[11:51] <haavaros> I'm using gnome-terminal to connect via ssh to a screen session on my server after every boot ... how can I make it happen automatically? I.e. to open a terminal window and connect via ssh to a speficif server
[11:51] <Dr_Willis> l700:  phones ive had - often require very SPECIFIC configured videos
[11:51] <erUSUL> flotopoco: amd64
[11:51] <user22> flotopoco doesn't matter lol
[11:51] <flotopoco> :$
[11:51] <user22> i368 will work too
[11:51] <flotopoco> ty erusul
[11:51] <l700> theadmin, Dr_Willis, how can this newbie solve the problem?
[11:51] <user22> 386
[11:51] <Martijn> ah, yes mounting seems easier indeed
[11:52] <flotopoco> lets go to kick out windows :P
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> haavaros:  i think gnome-terminal can have a '-e 'excute this command''  option to start a specific command.
[11:52] <erUSUL> haavaros: make a launcher that does « gnome-terminal -e 'ssh .......' » ?
[11:52] <gaurav__> help me in installing visual basic in karmic koala
[11:52] <flotopoco> good bye thx
[11:52] <sanderj> pico, a workaround was to remove the resolvconf package, and only make sure resolv.conf is ok.
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> l700:  find a video that works.. see what settings its using. learn  the video converter tools and convert ya vids to the right settings
[11:52] <erUSUL> gaurav__: visualbasic ? via wine?
[11:52] <erUSUL> !appdb | gaurav__
[11:52] <theadmin> ...Visualbasic?! What for... o_O
[11:53] <john> guarav__ and why?

[11:55] <theadmin> erUSUL: Does not look like russian ot me.
[11:55] <sinistrad> gaurav__, I play world of warcraft in linux
[11:55] <erUSUL> theadmin: i've only seen garbage and made a bet.
[11:56] <haavaros> erUSUL: OK thanks ... It worked.

[11:57] <charles_> I typed "cd Home" but it doesn't work. How come?
[11:57] <gaurav__> can i play games like need for speed in karmic koala
[11:57] <theadmin> gaurav__: You'll have to use WINE
[11:57] <m0ar> gaurav__: wine, cedega
[11:57] <m0ar> gaurav__: Not worth the trouble tbh, if you're a game
[11:57] <m0ar> r*
[11:57] <gaurav__> how to use wine
[11:57] <m0ar> gaurav__: Install it.
[11:57] <theadmin> charles_: Case sensetivity. Also, i think you either want to use /home or $HOME
[11:57] <Slart> !wine
[11:58] <m0ar> !virtualizers
[11:58] <gaurav__> hwo can i install wine m0ar
[11:58] <charles_> Nope
[11:58] <theadmin> gaurav__: Let me help with that
[11:58] <m0ar> gaurav__: Just like you install everything else in ubuntu
[11:58] <m0ar> gaurav__: sudo apt-get install wine
[11:58] <m0ar> theadmin: God yes, do that
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> No one ever reads teh bot's urls... :)
[11:58] <charles_> I tried with /home and $Home after you suggested it, but didn't help
[11:59] <m0ar> charles_: /home/username/ is your home folder
[11:59] <theadmin> m0ar: Err, wine in repos is horribly out-of-date
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> charles_:  Case is imporntant also...
[11:59] <m0ar> theadmin: If you want to make a newbie compile from source, sure.
[11:59] <haavaros> Can I make a launcher start automatically after login?
[11:59] <charles_> case sensitive. yes
[11:59] <Slart> !session | haavaros
[11:59] <gaurav__> after installing wine what i do
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> The wine url the bot gave - i belive mentions using the latest from the winehq site. Which is proberly the best idea
[12:00] <theadmin> gaurav__: Run this in the terminal: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine", then you can double-click any EXE file as in Windows and tada. m0ar, as you see, no source required ;)
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> gaurav__:  learn a little about it -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine
[12:00] <Slart> gaurav__: you read the info the bot gave you.. it will explain how to use it and where to get more info
[12:00] <Stargaze> !wine| gaurav__
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> gaurav__:  short way 'wine path/to/windowsexecutable.exe'
[12:00] <l700> Dr_Willis, i have tried over 10 new videos and some give me a new error: "unsupported resolution" . Am I making some progress?
[12:00] <sinistrad> theadmin, m0ar his other option is to add wine's own repos to his sources list
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> l700:  if some work.. see what res/other settings they use
[12:01] <haakon87> Can someone help me with emacs under GNOME?
[12:01] <m0ar> theadmin: Ohrly, I always compile the trunk from source :D  Didn't even know about the debs
[12:01] <gaurav__> wine executes all exe files in linux
[12:01] <m0ar> gaurav__: Kind of.
[12:01] <erUSUL> gaurav__: no all
[12:01] <Stargaze> gaurav__, yes, sort of
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> gaurav__:  wine CAN run many windows apps in linux. but not all
[12:01] <Stargaze> Linux is NOT Windows :)
[12:01] <Cheeze> besides, windows suck
[12:01] <haakon87> Basically my default fonts are *tiny* and there's no obvious way to fix it...
[12:01] <m0ar> gaurav__: As already said, check the appsDB on wine.org
[12:01] <m0ar> gaurav__: winehq.org *
[12:02] <Cheeze> bb........
[12:02] <gaurav__> if there is virus in exe file then linux will be infected with that
[12:02] <haakon87> Wait, sorry, I figured it out.
[12:02] <haakon87> Also gaurav, you're being stupid.
[12:02] <theadmin> gaurav__: Nah, then it just won't run
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> gaurav__:  not really. Your users wine dir may get messed up hopwever
[12:02] <Slart> haakon87: you can change the dpi of your screen.. it's in system, preferences, appearance, fonts
[12:02] <m0ar> gaurav__: Depends.
[12:02] <sinistrad> gaurav__, your home directory might
[12:02] <Stargaze> gaurav__, why do you use linux if you want to run windows apps? :)
[12:02] <m0ar> If the worm is able to run in a *nix environment, yes
[12:03] <l700> Dr_Willis, none of them worked.
[12:03] <theadmin> I don't get it... dual-boot is so much simplier...
[12:03] <Gangrel> !ati
[12:03] <freetime> hi , it is posible to decrypt a file only with public key
[12:03] <l700> Dr_Willis, http://www.samsungmobile.co.uk/mobile-phones/samsung-l700-specification#expand
[12:03] <theadmin> freetime: No.
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> ive ran spyware/malware in wine - to see exactly what it does to wineows machines
[12:03] <haakon87> Slart: I found out that if I set the font size to 28 it looked like 12 or so. I'll have a look at your suggestion though, as KDE have the same problem.
[12:03] <haakon87> Also, thanks Slart! :)
[12:03] <gaurav__> no i use this wine for need for speed
[12:03] <Slart> freetime: no.. what use would the encryption key be then?
[12:03] <Slart> haakon87: you're welcome =)
[12:03] <m0ar> Dr_Willis: Wouldn't that be safer in a vritualized environment?
[12:03] <gaurav__> can u give me a link for download good gamesin linux
[12:04] <theadmin> gaurav__: check out playdeb.net
[12:04] <haavaros> Can I somehow change window settings from within terminal? I.e. are there any command line parameters I can add to specify zoom, character coding etc. for a terminal session that starts via a launcher?
[12:04] <Slart> !games | gaurav__
[12:04] <erUSUL> freetime: if it was encripted with the corresponding secret key; yes
[12:04] <Stargaze> gaurav__, http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/games.html
[12:04] <m0ar> gaurav__: Wtf, depends on the game.
[12:04] <freetime> but is a way to restore the secret key if i accidental delete it
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> m0ar:  i just needed to do some quick tests and see what files it installed where
[12:04] <m0ar> Dr_Willis: Ah :)
[12:04] <Slart> freetime: nope
[12:04] <haakon87> Slart: Which fonts am I supposed to set?
[12:04] <Slart> freetime: although I have to admit.. erUSUL is correct about the decryption with the public key..
[12:04] <freetime> erUSUL: but if i lose secret key ?
[12:05] <m0ar> freetime: screwed.
[12:05] <haakon87> Because they were all at 10, and basically, it looked like 6 or so.
[12:05] <Slart> haakon87: there is a general setting.. it affects all fonts.. hang on.. let me check
[12:05] <Slart> haakon87: click on the "details" button
[12:05] <haakon87> dpi?
[12:05] <haakon87> But won't that affect ALL my fonts?
[12:05] <Slart> haakon87: at the top there is a "dots per inch" setting.. change that
[12:05] <haakon87> It's only emacs that's being silly.
[12:05] <Slart> haakon87: yes
[12:05] <charles_> I want to get to /home/charles/Downloads but can't get past home. When I try to go to /charles it says no such directory
[12:06] <Slart> haakon87: ah.. only emacs.. then you'll have to configure emacs
[12:06] <Pici> charles_: /charles is not a valid directory /home/charles is (assuming your username is charles)
[12:06] <orb01> charles_: no clue if someone is helping you already, but use the tabbing function
[12:06] <haakon87> I've done that, I found that 28pt is about 12.
[12:06] <Dr_Willis> charles_:  bash basics :)
[12:07] <Slart> haakon87: that's odd.. which emacs package did you install?
[12:07] <haakon87> I usually just use the terminal for emacs anyway, but I thought that I'd give the x-window version a try, since it now has AA fonts.
[12:07] <freetime> Slart: i make a key and export it to one gpg key server, after that i delete key pair , is a way to restore my keys ?
[12:07] <haakon87> I used emacs-snapshot.
[12:07] <Slart> freetime: nope
[12:07] <Stargaze> charles, try /home/charles, instead of just /charles
[12:07] <haakon87> But for the record, the same stuff happened on 23.
[12:07] <haakon87> charles_: Try to just use "cd"
[12:08] <haakon87> That's a shortcut to your home-folder.
[12:08] <freetime> Slart: so i must delete my encripted file
[12:08] <Stargaze> idd haakon87
[12:08] <haakon87> It's not biggie, 28 pt works.
[12:08] <freetime> how to restore deleted files from ext4?
[12:08] <charles_> I was using cd, but only one directory at a time, which didn't work. However, when I did all 3 at once, it worked. cd /home/charles/Downloads did work
[12:08] <Slart> freetime: nope.. but you won't be able to decrypt it
[12:08] <Slart> !recover | freetime
[12:08] <haakon87> charles_: If you type "cd" and only that then it will go to your home folder.
[12:08] <Slart> haakon87: ok
[12:09] <haakon87> In your case /home/charles
[12:09] <haakon87> Then you can go to your download folder.
[12:09] <daniskami> charles_: hint: when you're in /home, you have to type "cd charles", not "cd /charles" to go into /home/charles
[12:09] <Stargaze> ah, a .nl site recommended on #ubuntu!
[12:09] <kubanc> how do i see if my graphic card is installed OK. I just installed ubuntu 9.10 and i have an intel GM965/GL960
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> charles_:  learn how /charles differ from /home/charles     :) / is the 'root' of the filesystem.
[12:10] <haakon87> kubanc: If you can enable desktop effects, it's installed correctly.
[12:10] <Stargaze> found a game that suits you, gaurav__ ? :)
[12:10] <kubanc> haakon87, desktop effect like compiz?
[12:10] <gaurav__> ya Stargzae
[12:10] <gaurav__> tell me
[12:11] <charles_> Making some progress. Thanks
[12:11] <haakon87> kubanc: Go to System-Preferences-Appearance.
[12:11] <haakon87> Then show Visual Effects and choose "Normal" or "Extra".
[12:11] <haakon87> If that works, then you have drivers.
[12:11] <gaurav__> stargaze
[12:11] <HypothesisFrog> hi. Is there a way of blocking connections to a specific host?
[12:12] <Stargaze> gaurav__,
[12:12] <kubanc> haakon87, yes, i can do this, without any problems
[12:12] <Arkns> hi again
[12:12] <haakon87> kubanc: You then have drivers installed. :)
[12:12] <kubanc> haakon87, but there are no effect...
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> HypothesisFrog:  dirty way. edit the /etc/hosts to point the hostname to be 127.0.0.1 or somthing
[12:12] <gaurav__> tell me about the game that suits me
[12:12] <kubanc> haakon87, OK, now they are... sory...
[12:12] <HypothesisFrog> Dr_Willis point the hostname?
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> HypothesisFrog:  or some other way of filtering out the dns lookups
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> HypothesisFrog:  yes.
[12:12] <haakon87> Would iptables do the trick?
[12:13] <haakon87> I'm not any good at networking, but it should be able to do it, shouldn't it?
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> HypothesisFrog:  theres examples of hosts files that block many malware/xxx/whatever sites on the internets
[12:13] <Arkns> if I update my source repository (ubuntu 8.04 server lts) with a repository of ubuntu 9.10 may I install the newest packages of softwares without upgrade distro?
[12:13] <HypothesisFrog> Dr_Willis cheers. What should I google for?
[12:13] <gaurav__> can i get terminal all commands help with example
[12:13] <nibbler> HypothesisFrog: iptablesis whatyou need
[12:13] <jrib> Arkns: no, that's a great way to break your system though
[12:13] <john> Arkns: you could try do-release-upgrade from the command line
[12:13] <charles_> Got it! VMware installing now!
[12:13] <haakon87> man iptables | grep host
[12:13] <gorbierd> hey room
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> HypothesisFrog:  it really depends on exactly what you are wanting to do
[12:14] <haakon87> might point you int the right direction though.l
[12:14] <prickles> Do chickens have lips?
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> HypothesisFrog:  blocking 1 host.. or 1000? or whate eactly
[12:14] <jrib> !ot | prickles
[12:14] <Pici> prickles: #ubuntu-offtopic knows
[12:14] <gorbierd> is there way to command line search mp3 files by id3 tag
[12:14] <Arkns> do-release-upgrade?
[12:14] <jrib> Arkns: that's to upgrade your distro
[12:14] <jrib> !upgrade > Arkns
[12:14] <charles_> Learning as I go... I'm going to read up on Linux or take a class. Are there any Ubuntu classes I can take?
[12:14] <haakon87> Arkns: From 8.10 to 9.10?
[12:14] <john> Arkns: sorry, I didn't see you didn't want to upgrade
[12:14] <sufs_LND> How can I update from 9.10 to 10.04-alpha3?
[12:14] <jrib> !lucid | sufs_LND
[12:14] <gaurav__> help me anyone in getting all terminal commands with example
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> !upgrade | sufs_LND
[12:15] <jrib> gaurav__: umm, what?
[12:15] <m0ar> gaurav__: There are many.
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> gaurav__:  clarify the question?
[12:15] <jalons> gorbierd: id3ed
[12:15] <haakon87> gaurav_: in the terminal, type man bash
[12:15] <Arkns> hum... I do not want upgrade my distro now... I just installed the newest packs I need it
[12:15] <gaurav__> how to get in root
[12:15] <m0ar> gaurav__: su / sudo
[12:15] <jrib> !root | gaurav__
[12:15] <theadmin> Say, is this shown here Ubuntu-specific? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2012912/Screenshot.png
[12:15] <Stargaze> charles_, check http://ubuntuclips.org/taxonomy_term_9.html
[12:15] <Pici> theadmin: no
[12:16] <HypothesisFrog> Dr_Willis I'm a bit concerned that I may have a trojan. My ISP has accused me of spamming. And since I installed and configured firestarter, I've noticed it blocking at a ton of outgoing connections, plus there always seems to be a https connection to some mysterious address.
[12:16] <gaurav__> sudo root is asking for password
[12:16] <gaurav__> so waht can i do next
[12:16] <jrib> gaurav__: read the link ubottu gave you
[12:16] <m0ar> gaurav__: Type in your password maybe? ...
[12:16] <NetanelShinE> hello all.
[12:16] <john> gaurav__: your own password
[12:17] <m0ar> gaurav__:  Just wondering, why use ubuntu before windows? :)
[12:17] <gorbierd> jalons: it edits it... not search
[12:17] <Stargaze> gaurav__, check http://ubuntuclips.org/collections_2.html
[12:17] <haavaros> Can I somehow change window settings from within terminal? I.e. are there any command line parameters I can add to specify zoom, character coding etc. for a terminal session that starts via a launcher?
[12:17] <ardchoille> gaurav__: sudo is asking for your password, but "root" isn't a command. read the link the bot gave you
[12:18] <Arkns> I need to install this pack on my ubuntu 8.04 server http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/python-matplotlib - I'm download the source... I just compile with python setup.py install?
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> HypothesisFrog:  best to do a reinstall then perhaps.
[12:18] <Stargaze> Arkns, 8.04 is not karmic
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> HypothesisFrog:  or learn  more in depth iptables/other torubleshooting stuff.
[12:18] <charles_> Well, I had to stay up all night to do it, but I got accomplished what I set out to do. I got VMware installed (their free version), and along the way I learned a lot about command line and now want to learn more. I will study up on the learning urls that were suggested to me. I only wanted to be an Ubuntu user, not an expert, but now I'm getting into this command line stuff and want to learn more and will. Thanks
[12:18] <Arkns> cannot installed this package so?
[12:19] <jalons> gorbierd: (probably requires tweaking, but off the top of my head) find /path/to/mp3s -exec xargs id3ed - | grep -i <what you're searching for>
[12:19] <Stargaze> Arkns, 8.041 is Hardy
[12:19] <HypothesisFrog> Dr_Willis probably best, and will do shortly.
[12:19] <ardchoille> Arkns: sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> haavaros:  gnome-terminal --help and check its man pages/docs
[12:19] <Stargaze> Arkns, 8.04 is Hardy
[12:19] <jrib> !info python-matplotlib hardy
[12:19] <Arkns> I know, but this pack on Hardy is old version
[12:19] <gorbierd> jalons: thanx!
[12:19] <ardchoille> Ah, didn't know he was on hardy
[12:20] <jalons> gorbierd: i mixed xargs and exec in there, but I think you should be able to tweak that into something that will work
[12:20] <jrib> Arkns: if you need recent software, then use a recent release really...  But you can probably just go to python-matplotlib's website and install it yourself.  You'll circumvent apt of course and you will have headaches later if you do not remember you did this
[12:21] <gaurav__> i am new to karmic koala i want all help for all terminal command with example is there is any link
[12:21] <puser> gnome doesn't allow selecting windows by clicking anywhere, only, when you click on the titlebar works. What to do, to make them selectable by any part of the window?
[12:21] <Arkns> right... I will try renew my code...
[12:21] <Arkns> mean, re doit my code
[12:21] <ardchoille> !terminal | gaurav__
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> gaurav__:  each command has its own man page normally.  see 'man whatevrcommandyouwant'
[12:22] <Dr_Willis> gaurav__:  start witht he basics and work your way up.  'all commands' 2697 different commands on this system :)
[12:22] <Stargaze> gaurav__, check this page for the man command => http://ubuntuclips.org/videos_86.html
[12:23] <user22> is there any program for ubuntu like "mobile partner" for windows?
[12:23] <Dr_Willis> user22:  its possible no one in here knows what that program does for windows.
[12:23] <Stargaze> user22, what's mobile partner?
[12:23] <Dr_Willis> Im guessing it has somthing todo with cell phones. :)
[12:23] <puser> user22: when I plugged in my megaphone modem, it installed and started right away as it was in windows.
[12:23] <user22> Dr_Willis yeah, well 3g modems
[12:24] <user22> i want to be able to send sms's through it
[12:24] <user22> ubuntu supports 3g modems
[12:24] <user22> but i need to be able to send an sms :D
[12:24] <Stargaze> !3g
[12:25] <puser> user22: does your modem automatically install the "mobile partner" when you stick it in windows?
[12:25] <iceroot> user22: vodaphone mobile phone manager can handle that (but not with all modems) maybe have a look. dont know the exactly name of it anymore
[12:25] <user22> puser yeah
[12:25] <erUSUL> freetime: if you loose the secret key you can still use the public key to decipher things encripted with that secret key. you can not encript nothing new though
[12:25] <iceroot> user22: also you can have another provider then vodaphone for that
[12:25] <Stargaze> user22, is it USB? if yes, try installing usb-modeswitch
[12:25] <user22> my 3g modem is huawei mobile connect something
[12:25] <user22> yeah
[12:25] <puser> user22: mine installs in windows, and it did in linux too. Looks almost the same.
[12:25] <user22> i tried on ubuntu 9.10 didn't install
[12:25] <user22> but
[12:26] <user22> i connected easily
[12:26] <user22> but i still need the gui
[12:26] <freetime> erUSUL: you can tell me how to do that ?
[12:26] <erUSUL> freetime: how to do what?
[12:26] <puser> user22: OK, maybe you have a different modem then mine than. Here is the external link:
[12:26] <puser> ftp://mypuk.dlinkddns.com/MobilePartner_Linux.rar
[12:26] <erUSUL> freetime: we are talking about gpg here right?
[12:27] <haavaros> Dr_Willis: Got it. Thx.
[12:27] <freetime> erUSUL: decrypt without secret key
[12:27] <freetime> erUSUL: yes
[12:27] <user22> ok thanks
[12:27] <nibbler> user22: network manager is not taking care of your modem?
[12:27] <Stargaze> freetime, i think you have to install a seahorse plugin to make gpg work (that's how i repaired it)
[12:27] <BryanWB> is there a way that i can install packages from the lucid lynx repos w/out upgrading? I am running karmic currently
[12:27] <erUSUL> freetime: gpg --decrypt file
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> BryanWB:  not without a good chance of breaking the system
[12:28] <BryanWB> Dr_Willis, damn
[12:28] <VCoolio> BryanWB: better find a deb or a repo on lauchpad.net, or compile from source
[12:28] <nibbler> BryanWB: most likely not, either look for updated ppa if you trust those, or build the app from source
[12:28] <user22> nibbler it works just fine i have no problem connecting
[12:28] <user22> but i would like to send sms's from the 3g modem
[12:28] <BryanWB> am trying to build from source but keep failing, argh
[12:29] <nibbler> user22: that can be done without proprietery software, too. at least i believe so
[12:29] <VCoolio> BryanWB: what app do you want and what is the error
[12:29] <nibbler> user22: sudo aptitude install smssend
[12:29] <BryanWB> VCoolio, i am trying to use kvm w/ virt-manager and the packages in karmic are too old to work together
[12:29] <freetime> erUSUL:  gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
[12:29] <nibbler> user22: or in genearal: aptitude search sms
[12:29] <freetime> erUSUL:  :(
[12:30] <BryanWB> the fixes are in newer packages, which happen to be in Lucid
[12:30] <Stargaze> freetime, do you have Seahorse installed?
[12:30] <user22> nibbler i hope there are programs for controlling 3g modems for ubuntu too
[12:30] <freetime> Stargaze: no
[12:30] <erUSUL> freetime: the file is encripted wth the public key so only the secret key can decipher it.
[12:30] <Stargaze> freetime, Seahorse is what sved my gpg problem
[12:31] <nibbler> user22: as i believe a 3g modem in the end is just a serial device accepting at commandos....
[12:31] <puser> nibbler: It can be, but "mobile partner" is integrated GUI utility with a lot of features, besides sending SMS, you can change modem configs, check traffic, etc. The best, I could find opensource is to send recieve SMS, couldn't even read internal SMS storage in SIM card.
[12:31] <Stargaze> user22, try sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch
[12:31] <nibbler> puser: i belive with wammu you can manage your phone, read sms etc
[12:32] <user32_> lol
[12:32] <puser> Stargaze: what does usb-modeswitch do, I've herd about it a lot, but have a fuzzy understanding of what it does.
[12:32] <puser> nibblerr: is wammu GUI?
[12:32] <Stargaze> puser, Synaptic displays a description
[12:32] <nibbler> puser: new usb devices are stoarge and whatever, first you only see storage, on this there is autorun für windowsdriver install. by issuing the modeswitch it turns into the device you really want
[12:32] <VCoolio> BryanWB: don't know anything about kvm or its dependencies; try 'sudo apt-get build-dep kvm' and then compile again; but if dependencies are too old also in karmic, it may be difficult
[12:33] <nibbler> puser: yes, it is gui
[12:33] <erUSUL> puser: most usb 3g modems have to modes of operation. in one mode they act as a usb-storage and present to the system a flash drive with drivers etc. the other is the modem mode. usb-modeswitch change between the modes
[12:33] <nibbler> puser, erUSUL: but the connection is done, so no modeswitch needed
[12:33] <user32_> http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/407/mobilepartner.jpg
[12:34] <BryanWB> VCoolio, yeah the dependencies are too old in karmic
[12:34] <puser> nibbler: because, I installed gammu, seems like an integrated utility, but for console. It's so complex, it will take me forever to figure it out. I couldn't even figure out how to connect to my modem's tty port yet with it.
[12:34] <erUSUL> nibbler: network manager supports some 3g modems out of the box. or/and maybe your mode does not need it
[12:34] <erUSUL> modem*
[12:35] <nibbler> erUSUL: i'm not talking about me, my sony ericsson k800i worked out of the box, but user22 / puser dont have problems connecting either
[12:35] <user32_> lol
[12:35] <hal> guys, can someone tell me what this command does? root@sentti:/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.33-999-generic/include/linux# ln -s ../generated/version.h .
[12:35] <user32_> according to the manufacturer of my usb modem: Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / 7 ja Mac OS X 10.4 tai 10.5
[12:35] <hal> does it create a symlink over the top of the linux dir?
[12:36] <iceroot> hal: man ln
[12:36] <erUSUL> hal: creates a simbolic link of ../generated/version.h in the current dir
[12:36] <puser> nibbler: I will have to try wammu, you suggested
[12:36] <erUSUL> hal: .. is the parent dir and . is the current dir
[12:36] <nibbler> puser: enjoy ;-)
[12:36] <hal> erUSUL: ah, so it the symlink will be called version.h in the current dir
[12:37] <erUSUL> yep
[12:37] <hal> thank you erUSUL - I have always explicitly specified the name of the symlink
[12:38] <erUSUL> hal: me too :)
[12:38] <puser> started happening a few days ago: I can't select windows in gnome by clicking on any part of the window, only on the titlebar. Few days ago, I could. How can I fix it, so that I can click on any part of the window to select it?
[12:38] <kubanc> how do i disable authentication for mounting NTFS partitins
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> kubanc:  you could add a fstab entry for each of them that way they get mounted at boot time. Not on first access
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> kubanc:  also try installing and running the 'ntfs-config' tool - it may do what you want
[12:40] <Genscher> Hey :) Is there an application to deactivate sim card pins on Ubuntu?
[12:41] <puser> Genscher: What's your modem model?
[12:41] <kubanc> Dr_Willis, first, i'll try with ntfs-config tool
[12:41] <Genscher> puser, Huawei E160, usb, AT access
[12:42] <nikitis> Question:  I have a 80 GB Harddrive with 5 partitions.  Say I just bought a 1 TB Drive. and wish to copy bit for bit the 80 GB over to the 1 TB.  Do I just do dd if=/dev/sda of=/home/username/80gbhd , and then reverse it later onto the 1TB device?
[12:43] <nikitis> or are there any tricks I have to do to have "dd" copy over the mbr etc
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> nikitis:  always use a 'bs' option with dd - or it will be slow..
[12:43] <john> nikitis: why do you want a bit for bit copy?
[12:43] <Genscher> puser, wammu works great but it cannot handle pins so i have to use NetworkManager to unlock the sim
[12:43] <puser> Genscher: I am not sure, but Mobile Partner, might help. I am using Huawei, but E1550, and use that software. Maybe it will work for your model too.
[12:43] <nikitis> john i'm basically replacing the 80 GB drive
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> nikitis:  that command should make a 'disk image' of the 80gb into a large  file. Yes..
[12:43] <Genscher> puser, thanks, let me cvheck
[12:43] <john> there is a hard disk upgrade howto
[12:43] <D00msday> Hi :) anyone around willing to help a Ununtu Noob ? feels like my head will explode lol
[12:44] <john> I followed that countless times
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> nikitis:  then what doyou want to do with it?
[12:44] <erUSUL> !ask | D00msday
[12:44] <nikitis> get rid of the 80 GB drive
[12:44] <nikitis> and use the 1TB
[12:44] <nikitis> but I do not want a fresh install.  I want to use the image of the 80 GB then expand the file system later using gparted
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> nikitis:  that will just put the 80gb contents into a FILE  in the home dir..
[12:44] <amikrop> Hello, I have some music tracks. Is there a program that will automatically find the albums and artists of those tracks, write the id3 tags of the files and rename them correctly?
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> nikitis:  if you want to 'copy' the stuff from the 80 to the 1tb and have it useable.. theres going tobe a few other things to do
[12:45] <puser> Genscher: do you know where to get it from?
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> nikitis:  you could use both hd's if you wanted to.
[12:45] <nikitis> Dr_Willis right, but then if I do dd if=/home/username/80GBhd of=/dev/sdb   will it boot?
[12:45] <jcrawford> hey guys are there apps for Ubuntu which will allow me to take a screenshot by hitting a keyboard shortcut?  I ask because the app under Accesories will not let me take a screenshot of the code assist in Eclipse
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> nikitis:  it might boot.. at least it should.. now if the UUID's and stuff all work properly.. that may be the issue
[12:45] <john> nikitis: use http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Hard-Disk-Upgrade/index.html
[12:46] <nikitis> ah
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> nikitis:  and you will have to resize it to get the rest of the hd used.. that cn change the UUIDs also
[12:46] <D00msday> OK I am trying to install XBMC on Ubuntu 9.04 which I have installed on a ps3 i keep getting erros about it installing other parts of xbmc I have followed everything i found on the net but still not joy
[12:46] <john> nikitis: bit old, lilo instead of grub, but it's essentially the same
[12:46] <Genscher> puser, actually i was googling for it because i didn't want to stretch your help too much :)
[12:46] <nikitis> Dr_Willis I can use gparted for that later though
[12:46] <jiohdi> jcrawford, what happens when you press printscreen button?
[12:46] <puser> ftp://mypuk.dlinkddns.com/MobilePartner_Linux.rar
[12:46] <jcrawford> jiohdi, i do not have that button on my keyboard i thought about that :)
[12:47] <puser> Genscher: I gave that link about 5 minutes ago, so it was still in my clipboard :)
[12:47] <VCoolio> jcrawford: you can put any command on a keybinding; maybe you need a delayed screenshot (gnome-screenshot -i)
[12:47] <jiohdi> jcrawford: what kind of keyboard is that?
[12:48] <Genscher> puser, seems to be quite popular :)

[12:49] <jiohdi> ah
[12:49] <puser> jcrawford: don't have a print screen button? It's a first time I hear about that. Do you have a laptop?
[12:49] <puser> on mine, I have it called: prt sc, or perhaps "ps"
[12:49] <jcrawford> thanks the delayed option worked for me I just could not make a selection will have to edit them later :)
[12:49] <jcrawford> puser, do you have the same keyboard as I ?
[12:50] <puser> jcrawford: no, I just suggested a couple of variations of what it could be called on the keyboard.
[12:51] <puser> jcrawford: on mine it's "prt sc"
[12:51] <jcrawford> :) it's not here, I don't believe Mac's use Print Screen.  Anyhow I got it working thanks
[12:52] <puser> how can I select windows by clicking anywhere on the window, not just by clicking on the title bar in Gnome? I used to be able to, but something got screwed up.
[12:54] <atrus> puser: system:preferences:windows, see if there's something about click-to-focus, or auto-raise?
[12:54] <nikitis> How do you tell the block size of different partitions?
[12:54] <HypothesisFrog> Typing "sudo iptables -s 64.236.144.288 -j DROP" should work shouldn't it? i.e, it should block that IP address should it not?
[12:55] <VCoolio> puser: also gconf-editor has some settings at apps > metacity > general
[12:56] <puser> artus: I was there before, and the only thing there, resembling my problem is: Select windows when the  mouse moves over them". When I check it, they get selected, but it's annoying that they get selected when I don't want them. :)

[12:59] <Lazy^> Hello i've got really wierd problem with kernel 2.6.31-20. After kernel update nvidia-module crashes "picture" on gnome & kde, it gives random colors / pixels to the screen. U can use it, so it's somehow working. Without nvidia module everything work perfectly. I've tried 5 different drivers but no solution. Also reconfigure X (dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg). Any ideas about this problem
[12:59] <Lazy^> and also the same problem is with older kernels, this problem came after i rebooted after kernel instal....

[13:01] <fasta> Can someone explain why one would install Linux when all new hardware only comes with Windows drivers?
[13:01] <rsk> fasta linux comes with drivers for new hardware also
[13:02] <fasta> rsk, ok, explain why on my samsung r510 laptop there are no drivers to do dimming of the screen.
[13:02] <fasta> rsk, that works out of the box on Windows.
[13:02] <rsk> fasta i have no idea about that situation
[13:03] <MixLaToR> hello guys...i want remove karmic koala and install OpenSuse 11.2 and increase my windows capacity without infecting it ..is it possible ?
[13:03] <fasta> rsk, in general all drivers on Linux are flaky unless they are for business equipment.
[13:03] <fasta> rsk, so consumer drivers simply are not paid for and therefor stink.
[13:04] <fasta> rsk, the power management on Windows gives me two times as much time to work on battery than the Linux drivers.
[13:04] <rsk> fasta you're arguing that code that's been paid for is good and that wich isn't is bad?
[13:04] <coolmadmax> fasta try first livecd
[13:04] <rsk> fasta i don't belive that that's true
[13:05] <rsk> in general
[13:05] <MixLaToR> hello guys...i want remove karmic koala and install OpenSuse 11.2 and increase my windows capacity without infecting it ..is it possible ?
[13:05] <bazhang> fasta, which version of ubuntu are you using
[13:05] <eremite> fasta, what else could you need optimized drivers for, other than gaming?
[13:05] <Gangrel> !mp3
[13:05] <ankur> everyone is getting only one fault in windows and that is......its not free....haha
[13:05] <fasta> coolmadmax, I already have it installed, but I just think that Ubuntu as it works on my machine is a piece of crap. Windows sucks for different reasons, but technically there is nothing wrong with it.
[13:05] <fasta> eremite, power management?
[13:06] <fasta> eremite, a working audio system?
[13:06] <eremite> fasta, I have no problems that are driver related to audio setup  on ubuntu, and I am a recording artist.
[13:06] <fasta> eremite, I am using the right driver already, but ALSA gives all kinds of warnings saying that the driver is wrong. That sure gives confidence.
[13:06] <fasta> eremite, right, so you paid $$$ for quality hardware.
[13:06] <puser> fasta: because linux has almost no viruses and almost immune to it, more stable, more secure, quicker responce, very configurable in any way you want, free as beer and free ad freedom, I can run any windows app on it (almost) for any version of windows/dos os, while on any specific windows, you cannot run any older or newer programs than the ones made specifically for that version, with some...
[13:06] <ankur> anyone know ...how to compile through new version kernel in ubuntu 9.10...i am having new kernel
[13:06] <puser> ...exceptions, of course, it's cool, must I go on? oh, yeh, I stumbled upon one problem that was, and I mean it impossible to do in windows, so I had to do it in linux and I am a windows system/network administrator, just recently converted to linux.
[13:06] <ankur> ??
[13:06] <fasta> eremite, something like M-Audio or another professional card?
[13:07] <coolmadmax> fasta if you are happy with windows good luck
[13:07] <bazhang> fasta, was there a support question you had?
[13:07] <fasta> coolmadmax, I am not happy with Windows.
[13:07] <ankur> compiling with new version kernel in 9.10
[13:07] <ankur> ubuntu
[13:07] <fasta> bazhang, is there a way to see things are actually improving in Ubuntu?
[13:08] <blinkiz> Hi. I have a iscsitarget LUN up and active. I have now added more LUNs. It seems like I have to do /etc/init.d/iscsitarget restart. No reload function. Will this create any disturbance in the already existing active LUN? It can NOT go down.
[13:08] <fasta> bazhang, because I do not see it.
[13:08] <bazhang> fasta, a specific issue?
[13:08]  * grobda24 says hi
[13:08] <coolmadmax> fasta then read and google and make ubuntu to work for you
[13:08] <bazhang> fasta, meta-questions and chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:08] <grobda24> Anyone know how to show the list of channels in mplayer ? http://pastebin.com/u5xMbS88
[13:08] <D00msday> Hi is it possible to install XBMC from cd on Ubuntu 9.04 ?
[13:08] <fasta> bazhang, being able to dim the screen on my samsung r510 out of the box or even with some tweaking might be nice.
[13:09] <bazhang> fasta, what version of ubuntu
[13:09] <fasta> bazhang, all.
[13:09] <fasta> bazhang, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/297962

[13:11] <ankur> bazhang, new kernel???how to compile with
[13:11] <Pici> !kernel | ankur
[13:11] <fasta> bazhang, if I had documentation I could probably fix it myself; I have written drivers in the past.
[13:11] <ankur> pici...yeah
[13:12] <puser> VCoolio: do I need to reboot after I make a change in gconf-editor, in order for changes to be applied?
[13:12] <Pici> ankur: read the links from the bot.
[13:12] <Thetetsu> Hi
[13:12] <ankur> pici..you know
[13:12] <Thetetsu> I have a problem with mi reader Card SD, the pc don't recognize reader. Insert the SD but not see.
[13:12] <fasta> bazhang, I am not sure how reverse engineering Windows drivers works, but if there are tools for that, I could try that too.
[13:12] <ankur> pici:where
[13:12] <ankur> ?
[13:12] <Pici> ankur: from ubottu
[13:13] <atrus> puser: you shouldn't have to. you can restart metacity if you want, by running metacity --replace.
[13:13] <Thetetsu> Can someone help me?
[13:13] <ankur> pici: its saying "i m bot, i m not intelligent
[13:13] <jatt> hi, I installed 9.10 but I cannot play neither mp3 nor movies.
[13:13] <atrus> puser: even that is usually not necessary though (in my limited experience with metacity)
[13:14] <jatt> which package should I install for this?
[13:14] <frenchi> hello, I have a problem mountall in lucid lynx and kernel 2.6.33.1: it basically gets stuck at the booting process. Could anybody give me an advice on how to debug this?
[13:14] <Pici> !kernel > ankur
[13:14] <ankur> pici helloooo
[13:14] <eremite> jatt, open Software Center and search for Ubuntu Restricted Extras
[13:14] <Pici> ankur: hiiii
[13:14] <Pici> frenchi : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Lucid/10.04 support/discussion.
[13:14] <frenchi> thank you
[13:14] <fasta> bazhang, so, you asked questions and?
[13:15] <puser> artus: will restarting metacity close all open programs/windows?
[13:15] <bazhang> fasta, reading bug reports and fixes,
[13:15] <atrus> puser: it should not.
[13:16] <jatt> eremite: thanks.
[13:16] <bazhang> fasta, which video card for this? intel/nvidia
[13:16] <fasta> bazhang, yes, I could try the smartdimmer tool.
[13:16] <fasta> bazhang, nvidia
[13:17] <fasta> bazhang, but then the tool is not integrated with the rest of the gnome-power management.
[13:17] <fasta> bazhang, and I don't even know whether it works.
[13:17] <adrian_> gdgdgd
[13:17] <Arabus> Hey, small question. is there a package for the openssl update from the 25.Feb for ubuntu yet?
[13:17] <fasta> bazhang, anyway, I would much rather pay somewhat more and have a Linux on a laptop which is guaranteed to work out of the box.
[13:18] <fasta> bazhang, even Thinkpads don't have that, AFAIK.
[13:19] <sara1> hi
[13:19] <sara1> what software cad for linux?
[13:19] <tarzeau> CAD? brlcad?
[13:19] <sara1> cad
[13:19] <tarzeau> yes brlcad
[13:19] <bazhang> fasta, reading one bug report indicates possible workarounds involve smartdimmer, or using nvclock
[13:19] <Gnea> !info qcad
[13:20] <sara1> gcad is 2d?
[13:20] <bazhang> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/297962 fasta
[13:20] <sara1> qcad is 2d?
[13:21] <fasta> bazhang, and the backlight?
[13:21] <eremite> sara1, Fandango is a scripted 3d CAD engine.
[13:22] <puser> artus: what means "Compositing Manager"?
[13:22] <fasta> bazhang, my backlight randomly goes off or in a very non-bright mode.
[13:22] <jatt> was vimdiff removed from ubuntu 9.10?
[13:22] <eremite> sara1, http://www.tech-edv.co.at/lunix/CADlinks.html  a list of CAD software
[13:22] <tarzeau> fasta: laptop with low battery power?
[13:22] <tarzeau> fasta: or broken backlight
[13:22] <fasta> tarzeau, while in the grid.
[13:22] <Shazbot|busy> I'm sure you've heard this hundreds of times
[13:22] <Shazbot|busy> but
[13:23] <Shazbot|busy> Why won't chrome play youtube videos?
[13:23] <ankur> i tried everything but not getting how to compile ubuntu9.10 with new kernel
[13:23] <jatt> I do have vim-common installed
[13:23] <ankur> pici....
[13:23] <eremite> Shazbot|busy, please use ONE line to ask questions.  And, to answer yoru questions, you need to install flash.  If you have flash installed it shoudl ork flawlessly, always has for me.

[13:23] <Slart> Shazbot|busy: it does for me
[13:23] <fasta> tarzeau, someone told me that the backlight goes off when it overheats or something like that. I have no expertise with laptops, this is my first.
[13:23] <tarzeau> Shazbot|busy: does here. you need the flash plugin?
[13:23] <Pici> ankur: Yes?
[13:24] <Shazbot|busy> Slart, it DID for me, but then it just stopped...
[13:24] <grobda24> Is there a way to install software that does not have a "make install" using the package manager ?
[13:24] <Shazbot|busy> I dunno why
[13:24] <Arabus> Hey, small question. is there a package for the openssl update from the 25.Feb for ubuntu yet? (The one that enables the TLS-renegotiation )
[13:24] <tarzeau> fasta: i never heard that...
[13:24] <Slart> Shazbot|busy: try running it from a terminal.. see if it prints out some kind of error message
[13:24] <Shazbot|busy> if I click the popout thingy on youtube it plays
[13:24] <fasta> tarzeau, ok, so do you know any reason why the backlight might go off?
[13:24] <tarzeau> grobda24: which software?
[13:24] <Shazbot|busy> ookay
[13:24] <ankur> pici..hey i tried everything but not getting how to compile with ma new kernel..
[13:24] <tarzeau> fasta: yes like i told you before: maybe it's broken? or maybe it's trying to save battery power
[13:24] <ori> Can someone walk me through getting the javaplugin to google chrome?
[13:24] <Pici> ankur: Then ask the exact question to the channel.
[13:24] <padhu> friends, any one point me the best phone book application
[13:25] <Slart> !best | padhu
[13:25] <padhu> address book also
[13:25] <ankur> pici: you dont know
[13:25] <ae86-drifter> ori, run chrome with sudo and use the wizard
[13:25] <eremite> Shazbot|busy, sounds like you have sort of script disabling flash or HTML5, one of the two.  Youtube has switched to HTML5 for a lot of their accounts.
[13:25] <ae86-drifter> i mean  gksu
[13:25] <grobda24> tarzeau, http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/TV_Tuner#EPG
[13:25] <Pici> ankur: Correct. I don't know.  If the links the bot sent you were no help then please ask the channel.
[13:25] <Shazbot|busy> it'll play for videos that are on VEVO, but not regular youtube videos
 ok how do i do that?
[13:25] <padhu> ubottu: will you please tell me the one?
[13:25] <Shazbot|busy> mmmmm, okay, ho do I fix this?
[13:25] <ankur> pici: ok thanx
[13:26] <tarzeau> grobda24: package it as debian package, then install that. or just the source way with make install
[13:26] <puser> VCoolio, artus: weird, I had to uncheck auto_raise, restart metacity, check auto_raise again and restart metacity again in order to make windows normally selectable again. I thought, if one checkbox is checked, than it's checked, but not just showing that it's checke. This problem reminds me of windows problems.
[13:26] <ae86-drifter> ori, type gksu google-chrome
[13:26] <fasta> tarzeau, it depends on how you define "broken". I did not do anything physically abusive to it and when it works it works great. It is just that for whatever reason it sometimes just stops. After a switch to console and back it works about 1 in 3 times again for a long time after.
[13:26] <Pici> ankur: Not the floodbot. ubottu gave you two links about the kernel, did you read them?
[13:26] <puser> what does composing_manager option in metacity means?
[13:26] <ae86-drifter> ori, if u got the firefox plugin that should work for chrome i think.. not sure though
[13:27] <tarzeau> fasta: that's funny yes, i'd call that totter contact
[13:27] <Shazbot|busy> eremite, and how would I fix that?
[13:27] <grobda24> tarzeau, thanks. I was trying to package with checkinstall but tv_grab_dvb does not have a "install" entry in it's makefile which checkinstall requires
[13:27] <tarzeau> loose connection. sorry google translations sucks "wackelkontakt" is the german word for it
[13:27] <Shazbot|busy> I have flash plugin
[13:27] <tarzeau> grobda24: then you write a install target :)
[13:27] <Shazbot|busy> server smash!
[13:28] <tarzeau> Shazbot|busy: in the right place? opt/google/chrome/plugins?
[13:28] <grobda24> tarzeau, is that easy ?
[13:28] <VCoolio> puser: sorry, wasn't paying attention; most of the time it works straight away; sometimes logout and back in is needed; reboot very rarely
[13:28] <tarzeau> grobda24: yes i think so
 how do i run the java plugin now?
[13:28] <grobda24> tarzeau, ok, thanks
[13:28] <Shazbot|busy> tarzeau, I wasn't aware I was supposed to install one per browser
[13:28] <sara1> brlcad is 3d?
[13:28] <tarzeau> Shazbot|busy: neither was i
[13:28] <tarzeau> sara1: yes
[13:28] <eremite> Pici, is there any way to ignore the floodbots?  Or perhaps a way to hide the messages of people leaving and entering the room, other than setting text colors to match the background?  All suggestions welcome.
[13:28] <Shazbot|busy> tarzeau, there is no 'plugin' folder in /opt/google/chrome
[13:29] <tarzeau> Shazbot|busy: yes that's why you create a plugins directory
[13:29] <ae86-drifter> ori, goto chrome's settings....
[13:29] <fasta> tarzeau,  what is totter contact?
[13:29] <Pici> eremite: Some irc clients can setup ignores for joins/parts/quits
[13:29] <ankur> pici: i will try those thing...thanx for your help... :)
[13:29] <puser> VCoolio: no, what I mean is that I had that option already checked. and it was not working, so I had to uncheck and check it again in order to make it to work with restart inbetween.
[13:29] <ankur> byr
 lol where?
[13:29] <ankur> bye
[13:29] <F5> hi
[13:29] <tarzeau> fasta: a loose contact, switching between contact no-contact
[13:29] <F5> how are?
[13:30] <tripppy> NBR support
[13:30] <tripppy> ?
[13:30] <Arabus> Hey, small question. is there a package for the openssl update from the 25.Feb for ubuntu yet? (The one that enables the TLS-renegotiation )
[13:30] <puser> what does composing_manager option in metacity means?
[13:30] <sara1> tanks
[13:30] <Shazbot|busy> tarzeau, okay, it's created, now how would I install flash plugin to that perticular directory?
[13:30] <fasta> tarzeau, yes, there are usually fluctuations when I move the laptop.
[13:30] <eremite> Pici, I use xchat, weechat and irssi but mainly stick to the GUI.  Do either of those, to the best of your knowledge, ignore joins?
[13:30] <tarzeau> Shazbot|busy: you download the flash plugin, it's one file (unpack it) and put it right into that directory
[13:30] <tarzeau> Shazbot|busy: start google chrome, and it does youtube
[13:30] <fasta> tarzeau, is there any usual suspect in that case?
[13:30] <Pici> !quietirssi | eremite
[13:30] <sara1> what chanell irc for civil engineering?
[13:31] <bazhang> eremite, right click channel name in xchat
[13:31] <tarzeau> fasta: no, it's a state quite some devices have
[13:31] <Pici> eremite: xchat can do it too, but I forget how.
[13:31] <tarzeau> fasta: if the thing has warranty, try to get a replacement
[13:31] <tarzeau> fasta: some people can fix it. i'm not one of those
[13:32] <vivid> go comcast go
[13:32] <fasta> tarzeau, I have warranty, but not in this country, which is more than annoying.
[13:32] <ae86-drifter> would a virtual machine on ubuntu play games allright? i have 6GB RAM to spare
[13:32] <tarzeau> fasta: which country are you in? and where's the screen from?
[13:32] <fasta> tarzeau, France, Netherlands.
[13:32] <tarzeau> ae86-drifter: depends on the sort of game? nethack sure. 3d games. not likely
[13:33] <tarzeau> fasta: i guess getting a new screen is cheaper :)
[13:33] <ae86-drifter> tarzeau, they would be the latest 3d games
[13:33] <fasta> tarzeau, so can you just buy any new screen of the right dimensions?
[13:33] <rsk> ae86-drifter then no
[13:33] <D00msday> Hi, anyone know where I can got to get some help installing xbmc on unbuntu 9.04 ?
[13:33] <rsk> ae86-drifter wine is a better choise
[13:33] <fasta> tarzeau, or are there a million standards for that too?
[13:34] <k0ala> how to install jre on ubuntu 9.10?
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> !java
[13:34] <ae86-drifter> rsk, some games dont work for me..
[13:34] <fasta> tarzeau,  I did already read how to remove the screen on some website.
[13:34] <tarzeau> fasta: depends on the cable connectors you have. any should do fine, i'd try to get a larger one
[13:34] <k0ala> !Multiverse repository
[13:34] <fasta> tarzeau, the cable connectors you are talking about are normally invisible right, unless you take the machine apart.
[13:34] <fasta> ?
[13:34] <tarzeau> fasta: laptop?
[13:34] <Pici> !multiverse | k0ala
[13:34] <fasta> tarzeau, yes, laptop.
[13:35] <tarzeau> fasta: oh sucks :)
[13:35] <tarzeau> fasta: get a new laptop then
[13:35] <Shazbot|busy> tarzeau, how do I unpack and put it into a directory from cli? "sudo tar xvjf <package> /opt/google/chrome/plugins" ?
[13:35] <fasta> tarzeau, replacement screens do exist.
[13:35] <k0ala> thanks all
[13:35] <coolmadmax> fasta why not check power management and see display options
[13:35] <tarzeau> Shazbot|busy: no, put the package into /opt/google/chrome/plugins, cd there
[13:35] <tarzeau> Shazbot|busy: then sudo tar xzf the.tar.gz
[13:35] <fasta> coolmadmax, I did already do that, as any rational person would have done.
[13:36] <tarzeau> fasta: then good luck replacing it. i got no idea
[13:36] <fasta> tarzeau, ok. Desktops are so much nicer. At least you can open them up with 6 screws or less.
[13:36] <tarzeau> i wonder why people use google-chrome, if there's chromium-browser (it's in lucid lynx now)
[13:36] <tarzeau> fasta: i agree, but you can't carry them around
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> I found google-chrome worked better.
[13:37] <tarzeau> i wish chromium run on non-x86
[13:37] <tarzeau> Dr_Willis: really? i didn't notice a different
[13:37] <fasta> tarzeau, I do like how quiet the machine is compared to the monster desktops.
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> tarzeau:  its been a month+ since ive last tried the 2.. so there may be improvements now.
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> tarzeau:  ive basically gone back to firefox now
[13:37] <tarzeau> Dr_Willis: how so?
[13:37] <fasta> tarzeau, anyway, IMHO, they should last at least 10 years.
[13:37] <eremite> Dr_Willis, I was urprised to notice Chrome was faster than all other browsers for me, and it passed the Acid tests better than all except Midori, I think.
[13:37] <fasta> tarzeau, but they are designed to fail :(
[13:38] <Shazbot|busy> tarzeau, done, it didn't work
[13:38] <HypothesisFrog> There we go. A connection to an invalid IP address http://i40.tinypic.com/famvxy.jpg
[13:38] <tarzeau> Shazbot|busy: the package is .tar.gz ? or what?
[13:38] <fasta> Is there even a vendor who sells machines with a 5 year warranty on all of the components?
[13:38] <fasta> (laptops)
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> fasta:  if they do..they proberly charge extra.
[13:39] <tarzeau> fasta: they exist, with the extra charge
[13:39] <fasta> Dr_Willis, yes, they will just compute the probability of it breaking.
[13:39] <dabaR> What's the deal with httpd.conf vs. apache2.conf in /etc/apache2?
[13:39] <fasta> Dr_Willis, and not actually create a better product.
[13:39] <Shazbot|busy> tarzeau, the package was tar.gz, I moved it to /opt/google/chrome/plugins, then I did "sudo tar xzf <package>" then libflashplayer.so came out, and is now in /opt/google/chrome/plugins, and then restarted chrome...and it doesn't work
[13:40] <tarzeau> Shazbot|busy: that's very strange
[13:40] <puser> What's wrong with my network manager applet (nm-applet)? It's icon doesn't appear in notification area, but I can see nm-manager running in the task bar and it's baloons are coming from the notification area. When I precizely click correctly on an empty space of notification area to where the baloons are coming out and get network manager's menu, I am able to connect to the internet. When...
[13:40] <puser> ...it's connecting and when it get connected, it displays icon in notification area. As soon as I disconnect, the icon disappears and I have to pixel hunt with the mouse on the notification area to get the network manager's menu opened again in order to be able to connect to the internet again.
[13:40] <tarzeau> Shazbot|busy: you got 32 or 64bit linux?
[13:40] <Shazbot|busy> 64
[13:40] <Shazbot|busy> D:
[13:40] <tarzeau> Shazbot|busy: oh :) no wonder
[13:40] <IMoM> GM all, is there a channel to assist with Ubuntu kernel config/compile issues?
[13:40] <tarzeau> Shazbot|busy: did you get the right libflashplayer.so, the one for 64-bit linux?
[13:40] <Shazbot|busy> how I fix then?
[13:41] <tarzeau> Shazbot|busy: you get the right flashplayer so
[13:41] <Shazbot|busy> crap
[13:41] <john> tarzeau: 64 bit flash works here. also on chrome
[13:41] <Shazbot|busy> I don't know
[13:41] <Shazbot|busy> sorry for language
[13:41] <Shazbot|busy> wait, i thought there wasn't a 64 bit version
[13:41] <tarzeau> john: with the 32bit plugin? never worked for me (needs the 32bit compat libs installed i guess)
[13:41] <Shazbot|busy> inform me plz
[13:41] <tarzeau> Shazbot|busy: there is!
[13:41] <marcus_> hi all. has debconf-get-selections been replaced by debconf-show?
[13:41] <eremite> Shazbot|busy, downoad Adobe Flash plugins via Syaptic insted of from the Adobe wbsite.  Worked for me afew days go.
[13:41] <john> tarzeau: hm, can't remember you could be right
[13:41] <Shazbot|busy> eremite, like "adobe-flashplugin" ?
[13:41] <Shazbot|busy> I have that...
[13:42] <Shazbot|busy> have had that
[13:42] <tarzeau> Shazbot|busy, john: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html
[13:42] <sara1> what cap for linux?
[13:42] <eremite> Shazbot|busy, just search for adobe and look for the packages that loo like te flash packages.  Should be called something like adobe-flash-plugin or close to that name.

[13:49] <sara1> tanks
[13:49] <kitti> k
[13:49] <sCOTTo> as in a simple set of differences between the two.
[13:49] <sCOTTo> eremite:
[13:49] <sCOTTo> brb
[13:49] <erUSUL> sCOTTo: Ubuntu Cloud has preinstalled the cloud infraestructure of ubuntu (eucalyptus iirc)

[13:50] <eremite> farmer1991, there is an ubuntu-nl channel\
[13:50] <farmer1991> nederlands ?
[13:50] <puser> why my network manager in notification area doesn't appear until I connect. When I disconnect, it disappears again.
[13:50] <eremite> farmer1991, type /join #ubuntu-nl
[13:51] <eremite> puser, do you need it there if it is not in use?
[13:51] <farmer1991> #ubuntu-nl

[13:52] <erUSUL> sCOTTo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC
[13:53] <puser> eremite: yes, it has menu to connect to the internet with my 3G modem. I used to have it there a few days ago, something happened to it. It's not showing up anymore, but the balloons are popping up from it from the notification area. I have to pixel-by-pixel hunt for it int the notification area in order to click the right pixel in order for the menu to come up.
[13:53] <blackxored> hi guys, I'm sick of evolution already it seems, there's a thunderbird couchdb equivalent???
[13:53] <IMoM> is there an Ubuntu kernel config/compile channel?

[13:54] <eniacpx> puser: Did you change your icon theme recently?
[13:54] <erUSUL> IMoM: use the ubuntu cnfig file
[13:54] <kitti> ola
[13:54] <eremite> puser, you have been stating problems with Ubuntu for the last 2 days in here.  What did you do to yoru system to make it so screwed up?  You said you were playing with settings.  Suonds like a lot of settings were played with.  Perhaps you should reinstall and start fresh, that way things should work better.
[13:54] <blinkiz> How do I add more iscsi targets (ietd.conf) without having to restart iscsitarget service?
[13:54] <ori> ae86-drifter: hey i did it just by downloading sun java from the software center
[13:54] <puser> puser: yes, I didn't even think about it. :) ...but I don't remember, which one I've had originally.
[13:55] <eniacpx> puser: doesn't matter, just try another one, the icon for the network manager applet probably doesn't exist, or is screwed up in your current theme.
[13:56] <kitti> hello
[13:56] <puser> eniacpx: ok I'll try, thanx
[13:56] <erUSUL> !resetpanel

[13:56] <sCOTTo> erUSUL:   what would make me take Cloud over normal Server ?
[13:57] <kitti> what?
[13:57] <erUSUL> sCOTTo: the desire to run a cloud server ? if you do not know wht you need it for is becouse you do not need it
[13:58] <sCOTTo> lol fair enough
[13:58] <sCOTTo> erUSUL:   I am installing ubuntu as my network Gateway, firewall, LAMP server & ROUTER etc - am I safest using the normal server version ?

[13:59] <IMoM> erUSUL, that will not help for what I require...  I need to prevent the kernel scramming my video chipset on boot
[14:00] <erUSUL> IMoM: but you can use the config as base then only change the one thing that needs changing
[14:00] <erUSUL> IMoM: if not is easy to make a no working kernel
[14:01] <IMoM> erUSUL, I am on my 3rd compile now... changed all parts that look like it could mess my video..  currently took out NLS
[14:02] <erUSUL> IMoM: what is the problem with your video card and why you think a kernel option is the culprit?
[14:02] <wazzaaaaa> is there a persian ubuntu chat room?
[14:03] <IMoM> erUSUL, other kernels, like CentOS default kernel works in RL3 with no problem..
[14:03] <erUSUL> !arabic

[14:07] <eniacpx> IMoM: Have you tried deleting your xorg.conf file, or simply renaming it? When you do this, Ubuntu will create a default file to use, which may work so you can figure out your issue. I have only been half following your thread so I apologize if this is useless info. I have a white-screen issue with a laptop of mine and this fixed it.

[14:10] <wazzaaaaa> shawn146, you did well
[14:10] <shawn146> i have used it a little earlier this year
[14:10] <shawn146> lol
[14:10] <eniacpx> Lets not scare him off guys...
[14:10] <shawn146> but reinstalled xp since i was confused
[14:10] <shawn146> then i decided to ome back

[14:11] <shawn146> and here i am again with ubuntu ready to learn :D
[14:11] <marcus_> is there an admin specific ubuntu irc channel available?
[14:11] <Chris___> how do I force an fsck on reboot again? "touch /fsck" feels wrong
[14:11] <Evil_Otto> Has anyone here ever set up multiple IPs on an interface on ubuntu from within a virtualbox machine?
[14:11] <shawn146> i am using 9.10
[14:12] <eniacpx> IMoM: Thats what I thought 3 was. Maybe try my suggestion then....
[14:12] <erUSUL> Chris___: is "sudo touch /forcefsck"
[14:12] <eremite> marcus_, why do you need to speak to admins directly?  There should be enough in here to help you.
[14:12] <osmosis> i installed xubuntu-desktop to check it out, then uninstalled. but now im stuck with the xubuntu login screen. how do I put it back to the original ubuntu login screen ?
[14:12] <erUSUL> marcus_: #ubuntu-ops
[14:12] <IMoM> eniacpx, 3 is/should be RL3 in SysV
[14:12] <Chris___> that's it. thanks erUSUL.
[14:12] <marcus_> thanks
[14:12] <erUSUL> IMoM: recovery mode
[14:13] <IMoM> erUSUL, should it be CLI still? no X?
[14:13] <erUSUL> IMoM: and if you want you can modify upstart and init to make a runlevel to suit your needs
[14:13] <haakon87> Well, congratulations shawn146! Welcome to freedom. By freedom we mean the four freedoms, as the FSF originally laid them out over twenty years ago.
[14:13] <erUSUL> IMoM: yes recovery mode is single user mode
[14:14] <shawn146> oh

[14:14] <Piranah> Anyone know if there is a way to track a system  event easily ? Last 2 days my ubuntu box has been rebooting at random it seems...
[14:14] <IMoM> gtg, l8r
[14:14] <erUSUL> Piranah: research the system logs
[14:15] <phillw> Piranah: there's a lot of info in /var/logs
[14:15] <shawn146> how long will it be before i master ubuntu like microsoft's systems?
[14:15] <haakon87> That depends on what you mean by "master".
[14:15] <Piranah> erUSUL, Ya im looking int that now... also just loaded Tiger.... last simply shows reboot   system boot  2.6.31-20-generi Tue Mar 16 09:00 - 10:01  (01:00)
[14:15] <phillw> shawn146: possibly never ;-)  They keep adding things :-D
[14:15] <shawn146> oh
[14:15] <haakon87> But if you want to learn, I suggest learning the terminal sometime.
[14:15] <shawn146> but get to know sufficient?
[14:16] <shawn146> and understand lol
[14:16] <eremite> shawn146, I became a typical Ubuntu user after a few weeks.  I could use the terminal and navigate the filesystem with ease after about a month or two.
[14:16] <shawn146> oh wow
[14:16] <shawn146> but at 8: 25 i have to go to school
[14:16] <shawn146> :(
[14:16] <haakon87> Yeah, the filesystem is slightly counterintuitive if you're used to windows. But it's not bad, it's just unusual.
[14:16] <shawn146> and its 8:16
[14:17] <phillw> shawn146: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1052065  is a ggod place to start - get the free book !!

[14:17] <shawn146> oh and i like how ubuntu installs with no problem than micro$oft winblowz
[14:17] <phillw> wrapsik: all linux installs should 'see' a swap area and use it.
[14:18] <haakon87> Windows *is* rather intuitive to you since you've grown used to it. It's not horrible, as such.
[14:18] <shawn146> oh
[14:18] <GUcko> hi guys, I'm facing a problem with my web cam. The picture doesn't appear on 9.10 :(

[14:19] <Chris___> :p
[14:19] <shawn146> ohk lol
[14:19] <shawn146> just a joke from my friends lol
[14:19] <eremite> GUcko, yes.  It's an app in the repos.  Open the Software center and search for cheese.
[14:19] <GUcko> k
[14:19] <haakon87> Yes, but it seems really immature to hate on others in our own rooms. Live and let live, and all that. ;)
[14:20] <puser> eremite: I am fixing and setting up 2 computers. I am a new to linux and to ubuntu in particular. I installed it about 2-3 weeks ago and learning about the system as much as I can. I am against reinstalling the system. I always look for solutions. Is that what you prefer to do when you get a problem, reinstall? What if I do something after reinstall that will create a similar problem? Do you...
[14:20] <puser> ...suggest reinstall again? No, I never reinstalled Windows and never will Linux, especially. I always looked for solutions, that's why I got so good in Windows. I better spend time looking for a solution, then reinstall, that way I kill two ducks with one shot. Learning a solution, when it happens again with me or somebody else and learning a whole bunch about the system that I couldn't of...
[14:20] <puser> ...possibly, without such troubleshooting. PS. No offence, does it bother you that I am here looking for help?
[14:20] <FloodBot4> puser: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:20] <shawn146> i will be back in about 4-5 hours
[14:20] <phillw> GUcko: also, there is a list of cams that work happily with ubuntu, I'll dig the link out, if you want.
[14:20] <calebr> Hi, gitk doesn't start and display no errors (even with fresh repo). any ideas why?
[14:20] <GUcko> phillw: please :)
[14:21] <phillw> GUcko: it also has info on getting cams going, when fixes are needed --- give me a cple of minutes.
[14:21] <GUcko> phillw: this webcam works with Crunchbang Linux 9.04
[14:21] <haakon87> puser: Sometimes a reinstall *is* the best solution. After a system have been compromised for instance, it's the only solution.

[14:22] <eniacpx> haakon87: Yes, but in his case it was suggested because he couldn't see the icon for the network manager applet.
[14:22] <eremite> puser, I dont mess up my system much, and if I cannot fix it manually I usually install.  My home folder is not on the same partition as my OS, so I can reinstall without losing data files.  I suggest that you start fresh if you are new to Ubuntu because it may take you forever to actually figure out what you did wrong.  If you feel comfortable trying to fix your system then I suggest you do that, but a fresh install is always a saf
[14:22] <eremite> e way to get things back to default.
[14:22] <rabbit1> haakon87: i did, but dint work fine, with the php plugin
[14:22] <stanman246> is it possible to have a backup default gateway?
[14:22] <haakon87> rabbit1: Well, isn't there a readme in the tarball?
[14:22] <eniacpx> puser: Did the icon suggestion fix the issue?
[14:22] <GUcko> eremite: I tried Cheese. The cam doesn't work :(
[14:23] <rabbit1> haakon87: there is, but very confusing
[14:23] <GUcko> eremite: I see the light on, but the computer doesn't receive any signal
[14:23] <haakon87> does it mention stuff like ./configure, make or make install?
[14:23] <phillw> GUcko: there is a list my manufacturer here --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> GUcko:  try some other apps like vlc to access the webcam
[14:23] <rabbit1> haakon87: its straight away going to troubleshooting
[14:24] <phillw> *my == by**
[14:24] <eremite> GUcko, sorry to hear that.  Im not a webcam kind of guy, so I fear I cannot be of service to you.  Ask for help every 10 minutes or so, hopefully someone will be able to assist you soon.
[14:24] <haakon87> Well, can you paste it in pastebin or something?
[14:24] <GUcko> Dr_Willis: vlc for webcam?! How
[14:24] <rabbit1> haakon87: in eclipse folder, there is eclipse (executable file)

[14:24] <chiossif> Hi to all. Has anyone ever used stereo vision with ubuntu? (or any other linux distribution : -) ) - I've been looking for a value for money hardware for a new ubuntu pc. Thank you.
[14:25] <puser> haakon87: I started with DOS, then moved with all versions of Windows ladder. Let's talk about Windows XP, because, I've been with it for about 7-8 years, don't remember exactly. I never reinstalled, not once. I always found a solution even after a compromize. I've learned so much about it's security holes, a few of times, I even wrote my own programs to fight with virus/trojan, hacker...
[14:25] <puser> ...intrusions myself, because antivirus/firewall didn't hold them all and successfully cleaned the system.
[14:25] <rabbit1> haakon87: "The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion launcher jar. "
[14:26] <eremite> puser, I'm sorry that it took you 8 years to find Ubuntu.
[14:26] <haakon87> puser: According to MS own security folks, you should reinstall. Considering that you *cannot* trust a compromised system, no matter if it's a *nix or a windows system, you *should* in that case. If it's your own computer, then that's your own choice, but don't claim that it's never the right choice... ;)
[14:27] <haakon87> rabbit1, what java version do you use?
[14:27] <puser> eniacpx: I had to wait for one download to finish in order to test it, because I have to disconnect in order to see, if it worked. So, it will be a few minutes more, before I can tell, if it worked. Thanx
[14:27] <rabbit1> haakon87: god, let me know how to check it

[14:28] <charles_> How can I change the system password?
[14:28] <haakon87> Sorry, "java -version"
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> charles_:  what system password?
[14:28] <rabbit1> haakon87: couldn't create java virutal machine
[14:28] <haakon87> too used to GNU tools... :(
[14:28] <rumpsy> charles: ?
[14:28] <marijuana> guys, i install wondershaper but where to find the installation directory?
[14:28] <rumpsy> charles_: are you sure
[14:28] <haakon87> rabbit1: sorry, I meant "java -version" one dash. I'm too used to GNU tools.
[14:28] <rabbit1> haakon87: "1.6.0_0"
[14:28] <eremite> marijuana, /usr/bin/ ?
[14:29] <haakon87> Then I have no clue man. sorry... :(
[14:29] <marijuana> eremite: i dont find wondershaper dir there
[14:29] <Vigo> charles_: System>Users but not the /root, that is not needed.
[14:29] <rabbit1> haakon87: OpenJDK Runtime Environment
[14:29] <rabbit1> haakon87: thats ok
[14:29] <eremite> marijuana, open your serach utility and search for wondershaper :)
[14:29] <chiossif> charles_: System->Admin...->Users and Passwords go and check CAREFULLY first
[14:29] <charles_> I use the same lower case system password on many computers, but on this computer I accidentally had the caplock key on when I installed Unbuntu.
[14:29] <eremite> search**\
[14:29] <erUSUL> marijuana: dpkg -L wondershaper
[14:30] <rabbit1> marijuana is a drug
[14:30] <haakon87> charles_: And that's why my capslock is a Ctrl... That and emacs.

[14:41] <chiossif> Vigo: have you used mythubuntu with stereo imaging?
[14:41] <puser> eremite: :), well, as far as I know, Ubuntu is a lot younger than that, but I've tried different linux distributions ever since 1997, played with them for a few days and then stopped, not because didn't want to, but because of lack of time. I was always sort on time. I am a programmer, where I had to meet my project deadlines as much as I could, so didn't really have much time playing with...
[14:41] <puser> ...it and didn't have time to devote to learn it, but I always liked it :). The only thing that I am sorry about is that I didn't know about linux when I started using computers. My first computer was DOS, on Intell 8080 processor, and by the time, I found out about linux, I was already hooked on DOS/Windows, with a good collection of software/games, money invested in software, and other...
[14:41] <puser> ...reasons: learning other operating system. Time commited to programming projects, etc. Why I moved now finally, and without turning back, because I was sick of Windows for a long time, my bowl of patience just spilled over. Why I didn't move long time ago. Once again, no time to learn, programming projects to turn, etc.
[14:41] <FloodBot4> puser: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:42] <karan> hi
[14:42] <karan> is there anyway i can download pc bsd with gnome?
[14:42] <Vigo> chisoif: I used it a little, yes, testing before it became an Official Derivative, di not really get that deep into it, was just common stuff, the Mythbuntu packages can be installed on Ubuntu, test them like that is a wise thing.

[14:49] <puser> haakon87: I am aware about that they say that :) , I am an MCP and MCSE. But I got so accustomed to fixing windows briches that I learned everything where and how viruses/trojans/root-kits/worms and hackers could get through. and if they did, I saw it right away and removed them from the file system and the registry and replaced just the affected system files with originals without reinstalling th
[14:49] <puser> e whole system.

[14:50] <marijuana> guys, how to run this command automatically 'sudo wondershaper eth0 500 100' everytime i login ubuntu?
[14:50] <Dr_Willis> marijuana:  at boot up => put in rc.local - no sudo needed
[14:50] <bombcm__> rc.local ror -> freeBSD
[14:50] <marijuana> Dr_Willis: how to add  it?
[14:50] <Dr_Willis> marijuana:  look at the file.. its rather straight forwared

[14:51] <eremite> Sort of off topic but short and top the point: how do the BSD OS' compare to Ubuntu in regards to usability?  I've always wanted to try out some BSD distros along side Ubuntu and was wondering if the learning curve was as large as I suspect.  All *nix systems should relativly be similar, correct?
[14:52] <theadmin> Any idea whether Compiz runs with KDE?

[14:52] <theadmin> err, oops, i meant to say "with XFCE"
[14:52] <eremite> theadmin, I would assume it does.
[14:53] <eremite> theadmin, it does not jive well with Fluxbox, OpenBox, BlackBox, Icewm ETC.
[14:53] <marijuana> Dr_Willis: i found 'exit 0' in /etc/rc.local

[14:53] <theadmin> eremite: icewm? I thought that's a window manager?

[14:55] <marijuana> Dr_Willis: OH ic.. so i just type 'sudo wondershaper eth0 500 100' in there?
[14:55] <Dr_Willis> marijuana:  i stated earlier the SUDO is not needed in rc.local

[15:01] <karan> ubuntu
[15:01] <karan> gnome
[15:01] <eremite> p0e, I would think that daemon tools would be yoru best bet because Windows doesnt not see Linux partitions by default.

[15:04] <Dr_Willis> p0e:  you could mount the iso to .wine/c_drive/the-cd-drive   and wine can access them as if they ere in a dir on c:
[15:04] <peter007> How do you search for a file with a particular file extention in Ubuntu
[15:04] <llutz> nibbler: adblock
[15:05] <rumpsy> so, is there application to learn languages like spanish, japan
[15:05] <_kirk> good evening
[15:05] <_kirk> I have a problem, how do I default to mount a TrueCrypt volume?
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> peter007:  locate, or find command
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> peter007:  or some of the gui tools
[15:05] <p0e> dr: yeh i know but what i mean is, ubuntu lets me view the file with an archiver (not "mounting it") but kiso/giso/etc are giving me errors when i try to mount it
[15:05] <peter007> Is there a search function like in windows?
[15:05] <p0e> if i copy the contents of the file into my wine drive and click go will it run as normal?
[15:05] <eremite> peter007, yes.  PLACES > SEARCH FOR FILES
[15:05] <karan> hey what ever happened to project looking glass
[15:05] <karan> ?
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> peter007:  in the gnome menus.. there is. :)
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> p0e:  i dont see why not.
[15:06] <airen> Project looking glass is dead.
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> p0e:  i always mount via the mount  and loop options
[15:06] <robert__> hi eremite. df shows /dev/sda1
[15:06] <p0e> righ on, thats what i was tryign to figure out
[15:06] <wazzaaaaa> what was project looking glass?
[15:06] <peter007> I am trying to search for *.doc files
[15:06] <k0d3g3ar> peter007:  You might want to take a look at Dolphin for file management, etc.
[15:06] <karan> ok thnx peter
[15:06] <_kirk> in loop
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> peter007:  'locate .doc'  perhaps...
[15:06] <kitti> heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[15:06] <peter007> ok ok thanks
[15:06] <peter007> its working
[15:07] <p0e> willis: i may need to have access to a full version of windows... as far as a virtual machine vs dual booting is there a clear advantage from one to the other?
[15:07] <Dr_Willis> p0e:  dual booting is more reliable and proberly faster.
[15:07] <eremite> robert__, I'm sorry that I cannot be of more assistance to you.  Please be patient and ask your questions every few minutes and someone should be able to assist you as soon as possible.
[15:07] <mrgreen> running 10.04 need lastest kernel 2.6.32 how do I load it?
[15:07] <Dr_Willis> p0e:  it all depends on what you are doing.
[15:07] <robert__> ok eremite! No problem..thanks anyways
[15:07] <puser> p0e, I installed "Mount Manager" program from the ubuntu repo. It's a gui application that i was able to mount any iso that I had.
[15:08] <p0e> i play some oneline games, they work well enough through Wine but i'm having latency issues; would a virtual box handle these through windows through linux or would it be the same as a dual boot
[15:08] <abstrakt> how do i get the workspace switcher to STOP giving me tooltips thusly forcing the autohide behavior to keep the tray extended?
[15:08] <abstrakt> this is *way* annoying
[15:08] <robert__> Hi everyone! I am having trouble accessing my usb drive. lsusb shows the hardware but fdisk -l does not show the drive
[15:09] <peter007> bye
[15:09] <ANA789CARRION> ola
[15:09] <eremite> p0e, VirtualBoxes run under the hosts videos drivers, which means no difference to you besides more memory and CPU usage.  The ONLY thing keeping em tied to Windows is gaming, but Im weening myself onto the native linux games more and more, like Urban Terror and Wolfenstein ET.
[15:09] <mrgreen> Can I force upgrade to latest kernel?
[15:10] <p0e> eremine: right on
 Can I force upgrade to latest kernel? < i nedd ot
[15:10] <p0e> assuming i were to want to set up a dual boot would it be advisable to install win first and then linux, or vice versa
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> p0e:  a lot will depend on what game
[15:10] <bombcm__> plz help us
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> p0e:  win first.. then linux.. BEst is to have a seperate hard drive for each OS.
[15:10] <nikitis> Dr_Willis: I successfully cloned the drive.  It boots and everything
[15:11] <FriedrichMan> I am still having trouble with my keyboard
[15:11] <FriedrichMan> and the accents
[15:11] <puser> eremite: does VirtualBox support 3D hardware emulation?, because, when I used VirtualPC and VMWare last time, neither of them did.
[15:11] <bombcm__> i still to
[15:11] <p0e> separate partition or separate HD or same
[15:11] <robert__> Hi everyone! I am having trouble accessing my usb drive. lsusb shows the hardware but fdisk -l does not show the drive
[15:11] <FriedrichMan> it writes them like this ´i´o´a´e
[15:11] <bombcm__> on windows OS  you press alt + 126
[15:12] <KB1JWQ> FriedrichMan: Might be a unicode issue; are you sure you've selected the proper keyboard within Ubuntu?
[15:12] <FriedrichMan> yeap
[15:12] <mrgreen> current running 2.6.31 would like 2.6.32
[15:12] <eremite> p0e, its easy to dual boot.  I have a partitioned HD with Windows Xp and Ubuntu on it.  The dual boot setup was very easy since I had windows installed first.  I also have installed windows second and it was also easy, the only problem is that the boot screen loader dissapeared and I needed to reinstall Grub (boot loader program to choose which OS) from the Live CD again.  Not fun, but easy.
[15:12] <chrisw> hi all, how can I find otu what processor my box thinks it has?
[15:12] <bombcm__> r u use it in ~
[15:12] <FriedrichMan> and I just came to realize I am having the exact same problem in my pc
[15:13] <FriedrichMan> so how come that could happen
[15:13] <llutz> chrisw: grep model /proc/cpuinfo
[15:13] <robert__> Hi everyone! I am having trouble accessing my usb drive. lsusb shows the hardware but fdisk -l does not show the drive
[15:13] <daniskami> FriedrichMan: you seem to be using a keyboard layout with "nodeadkeys" options
[15:13] <bombcm__> ok
[15:13] <nilsma> Anyone have any pointers on how to get microphone working on 8.10?
[15:14] <bombcm__> should you go it and success
[15:14] <FriedrichMan> daniskami: that's right
[15:14] <p0e> eremite: if i have a game installed via Wine could it be feasibly run through windows or would i have to install it twice (or installing under windows and running through wine)
[15:14] <Lazy^> Hello i've got really wierd problem with kernel 2.6.31-20. After kernel update nvidia-module crashes "picture" on gnome & kde, it gives random colors / pixels to the screen. U can use it, so it's somehow working. Without nvidia module everything work perfectly. I've tried 5 different drivers but no solution. Also reconfigure X (dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg). Any ideas about this problem
[15:15] <daniskami> FriedrichMan: well, "nodeadkeys" does exactly that: instead of letting you type accented characters, it outputs accent and letter seperately
[15:15] <puser> nilsma: are you trying to use it in Skype or it doesn't work anywhere?
[15:15] <FriedrichMan> PC generic 105 keys (intl)
[15:15] <eremite> p0e, if you install it in WINE it's actually installed on your Linux partition.  You would need to install it twice.
[15:15] <nilsma> havent been able to make it work anywhere yet, ... but ultimately i want to make it work on skype
[15:15] <FriedrichMan> daniskami: so I should include deadkeys?
[15:15] <bombcm__> like me but i can't use or (symbole> in C
[15:16] <robert__> Hi everyone! I am having trouble accessing my usb drive. lsusb shows the hardware but fdisk -l does not show the drive
[15:16] <bombcm__> i copy in notepad and copy when i use it
[15:16] <daniskami> FriedrichMan: yes, it's only with dead keys that you can write accented letters ("dead" refers to the fact that the accent doesn't appear instantly when you press the key)
[15:16] <FriedrichMan> cause I just did that and I still have the problem
[15:16] <FriedrichMan> I select Latin american include dead keys...
 hey what do u mean use the wizard?
[15:17] <p0e> eremite: thanks a lot for the input.. been having a lot of my issues mainly because my laptop doesnt have a CD rom drive so anything i want to install on it has to be ISO'd and then xferred over
[15:17] <FriedrichMan> and when I type in the test box... it still writtes the accen down with that problem
[15:18] <robert__> Hi everyone! I am having trouble accessing my usb drive. lsusb shows the hardware but fdisk -l does not show the drive
[15:18] <FriedrichMan> daniskami: what do you think would be a reason for my keyboard changing it's distribution all the time?
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  is there data on it you want to keep?
[15:18] <p0e> robert: i'm a total noob, but i had that problem happen and after formatting the USB it worked fine
[15:18] <robert__> yes
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  and see what 'dmesg' says after you plug it in
[15:18] <Shazbot|busy> Dr_Willis, how do I make youtube work in chrome?
[15:18] <eremite> p0e, many games do not need CDs, mainly free games :D  If you play FPS games I suggest playing some of the ones you can get for GNU/Linux natively, like Alien Arena or WolfET.  Urban Terror is my favorite at the moment.  Even a game like AssaultCube is fun (only a 40mb download!).
[15:19] <Shazbot|busy> You're a mater guru, please help me.
[15:19] <Shazbot|busy> master*
[15:19] <daniskami> FriedrichMan: I have no idea, sorry

[15:19] <Dr_Willis> Shazbot|busy:  instgall flash, or set  youtube to use the html5 stuff.
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> Shazbot|busy:  it worked for me with no hassles here
[15:19] <FriedrichMan> this is bad... I have to reboot my computer once or twice a day for that problem, it's really annoying
[15:19] <p0e> eremite: yeh, i dont do much gaming but one of the things i wanted to do with this laptop when i bought it was play fallout 3... thinking it might not be feasible with a pure linux setup
[15:19] <Shazbot|busy> how do I set it to use html5?
[15:19] <robert__> hi Dr Willis scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access              2233 PRAM        1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS
[15:19] <Shazbot|busy> Dr_Willis, it used to, then it just stopped one day.
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> Shazbot|busy:  youtube.com/html5 but not all videos are html5 compat
[15:20] <daniskami> FriedrichMan: maybe somebody else has, try to ask again in a couple of minutes and specify exactly what happens
[15:20] <FriedrichMan> daniskami: ok, thanks,I will do that
[15:20] <eremite> p0e, it's possible to install it on your machine, I think.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD7FrqIX5qs  This person did it, apparently.
[15:20] <puser> nilsma: because, I've had a problem with a mic in skype, while I saw that it was getting feedback from microphone monitoring soft. I had to uncheck "allow skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels", because it was always lowering the mic level too low automatically. When I unchecked it and moved the mic in mic properties up, it started working.
[15:21] <MortarMan> when on the earth will be there really stable version of pulseaudio ? aaaaaa
[15:21] <p0e> eremite: looks like VM server
[15:21] <Shazbot|busy> Dr_Willis, that works for now
[15:21]  * Shazbot|busy shrugs
[15:22] <fabio666> MortarMan: kde doesn't need it
[15:22] <p0e> would it be possible to configure a VM box without a cd drive via iso?
[15:22] <nilsma> puser: ill try that and see if it changes anything
[15:22] <coderdad> I have a weird thing going on with a new Ubuntu Server vm I setup.  After it has been running for about an hour I get this WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!
[15:22] <coderdad> I can reboot and it works for a few minutes
[15:22] <MortarMan> fabio666: so i have to reinstall ?
[15:22] <coderdad> then I lose connection
[15:22] <coderdad> and get that again, but the key has not changed
[15:23] <fabio666> MortarMan: i got rid of pulse a lot time ago because i'm om kde 4.4 now
[15:23] <niekie> coderdad: eitehr someone is pulling a MITM on you, or the remote host identification changed _somehow_.
[15:23] <coderdad> how do I check for MITM
[15:23] <nikitis> How do I resize a partition?  I'm at gparted via live cd, but when I go to resize the partition it won't allow me to increase the size past what side it already is.
[15:23] <MortarMan> fabio666: thanks a lot
[15:23] <robert__> hi dr. willis what am i looking for from dmesg?
[15:23] <p0e> oh i see what this guy is doing, he has it installed/running on a winbox and then has his linux box set to grab the inputs
[15:23] <niekie> coderdad: that's very hard :)
[15:24] <eremite> oi p0e, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1145714  <-- HOWTO: Fallout 3 and wine
[15:24] <coderdad> well it's a new server can I just start over and change ip
[15:24] <p0e> thanks man
[15:24] <genii> rjb: You can try setting your USB not to use powersaving by putting: usbcore.autosuspend=-1         in your /etc/sysctl.conf   file. This will prevent power management system from trying to turn the modem on and off to save power.
[15:24] <niekie> coderdad: of course you can if you wish :)
[15:24] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  mention of a  /dev/sd## device name that it might be using.. or any error messasg as to why its not seeing it
[15:24] <coderdad> how would I keep something like that from happening
[15:24] <coderdad> this is the second install
[15:25] <coderdad> I've had other issues with keys repeating and stuff
[15:25] <robert__> so the dmesg will say what drive it is using?
[15:25] <wazzaaaaa> how do i adjust the resolution , desktop wallpapers appear to loose effect when stretched
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  there should be about 5+ lines thta show up a few secs after pluggint in the drvice.. use 'tail -f /var/log/messages' and plyg it in and see what it says
[15:25] <coderdad> niekie:  It's my second install with this issue
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  yes. it should mention a sd##
[15:25] <nilsma> puser: switching off the automatically adjust my mixer levels did nothing im afraid :/
[15:25] <coderdad> niekie: same ip
[15:25] <wazzaaaaa> ubuntu 9.10
[15:26] <p0e> i've gotta get to work, thanks for the help eremite & willis
[15:26] <robert__> sdb
[15:26] <puser> nilsma: you also have to move the mic all the way up
[15:27] <vexati0n> can I get some help with Brasero? i'm trying to create a DVD image and it is stuck on "converting video file to mpeg2" ... the video itself is like 15 seconds long (just a test) wtf?
[15:27] <puser> nilsma: pavumeter --record
[15:27] <puser> will allow you to see your mic levels
[15:27] <robert__> hi dr. willis it says sdb
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  so try sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb  or just try mounting /dev/sdb1 by hand
[15:27] <puser> nilsma: alsamixer -c 0
[15:27] <puser> and then pressing F4 in there
[15:27] <puser> will allow you to change the mic levels
[15:28] <puser> nilsma: are you using internal or external mic?
[15:28] <coderdad> niekie: if I reboot my server and connect just fine does that indicate that it isn't MITM
[15:28] <nilsma> puser: i assume you mean in volume control panel? i have adjusted it there, however there is a small icon on the "50s-style microhpone" below it that has a small x over it - tho removing it and closing does nothing (wont save)

[15:28] <wrapster> skype mysteriously is failing on ubuntu 9.10
[15:28] <eremite> Do Remastersys questions get support here?
[15:29] <robert__> hi dr. willis mount point /mnt/sdb does not exist
[15:29] <wrapster> i can log in but it automatically kills itself after a while..
[15:29] <wrapster> can anyone pls help..its urgent
[15:29] <puser> nilsma: try doing it with the command I gave you.
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  yes.. linux basics.. you must have a mount point existing.. befor you can mount to it.. make the directory you want to mount the device to FIRST.
[15:29] <nilsma> tried that too, all is adjusted (boosted, full volume)
[15:30] <terry_> wrapster: The whole PC shuts down?
[15:30] <wrapster> terry_: no.. only skype
[15:30] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  sudo mkdir /media/USB   then sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/USB
[15:30] <bernz> nilsma, a lot of modern audio hardware allows reassignment of I/O; perhaps your mic jack is configured as a secondary/tertiary output... dig, dig, dig in the audio control panel (just an idea)
[15:30] <terry_> wrapster: You might try watching:  tail -f /var/log/messages
[15:31] <nilsma> bernz: there are options of mic1/mic2, both tested to no avail :/
[15:31] <wrapster> terry_: ok
[15:31] <eremite> nilsma, try Line In
[15:31] <puser> nilsma: if you have an internal mic, you have to press spacebar on intmic section, so that you get: L CAPTUR R switched on on both int mic places. If you have external mic, you will have to do it on ext mic instead and move the level all the way up.
[15:31] <terry_> wrapster: Actually, just run skype from terminal and see if you get errors when it crshes.
[15:31] <bernz> nilsma, have you confirmed that your mic itself (hardware) is okay? you *could* plug the output of an mp3 player (set volume very low at first) into your mic-in, to provide a "test signal" for tuning
[15:31] <robert__> dr. willis it says mount: no medium found on /dev/sdb
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  pay attention
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  sudo mkdir /media/USB   then sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/USB
[15:32] <bernz> (it's not completely electrically compatible, though, so it's at your own risk ;-)
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> robert__:   /dev/sdb is  the drive.. sdb1 is the actual partition
[15:32] <nilsma> bernz: the mic has been working on win previously
[15:33] <bernz> nilsma, okay, so hopefully it's just a matter of a small misconfiguration you haven't discovered yet; have you examined every possible "path" in the GUI for config'ing the mic?
[15:33] <bernz> (sometimes, it will show up as multiple devices, etc, and only one of them really affects the behavior)
[15:34] <puser> nilsma: did you try the pavumeter --record
[15:34] <puser> and
[15:34] <puser> alsamixer -c 0
[15:34] <puser> and then pressing F4 in there
[15:34] <puser> will allow you to change the mic levels
[15:34] <FloodBot4> puser: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:34] <puser> ?
[15:34] <terry_> bernz: nilsma Sometimes the channels are mixed up, labled wrong.  Not often but that is the case once in a while.
[15:34] <robert__> hi dr. willis sorry for not paying attention...after your instructions it says mount: /dev/sdb: unknown device
[15:34] <nilsma> puser: i will have to install it first, trying the line in idea, and youre alsamixer instructions atm
[15:34] <vexati0n> can I get some help with Brasero? i'm trying to create a DVD image and it is stuck on "converting video file to mpeg2" ... the video itself is like 15 seconds long (just a test) wtf?
[15:35] <Davidf88> (ﾉ `Д´)ﾉ ~┻━┻
[15:35] <bernz> puser, careful, the bots here are aggressive (it's an unfortunate necessity); try separating your thoughts with semicolons or something to keep 'em stuck in one line to make the bots happy ;-)
[15:35] <posixGuru> I downloaded ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso; where is the md5 ?
[15:35] <arathald> robert__: type 'ls /dev/sd*'
[15:35] <puser> bernz: ok :)
[15:36] <Arabus> Hey, small question. is there a package for the openssl update from the 25.Feb for ubuntu yet? (The one that enables the TLS-renegotiation )
[15:36] <robert__> it says /dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sda5  /dev/sdb
[15:36] <Pici> posixGuru: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[15:36] <bernz> terry_, yeah, i've had "weirdness" before with various hardware showing up as different things (i'm actually still not totally clear on how ALSA, OSS, and other low-level bits work/fight together... gotta look into that a bit)
[15:36] <arathald> robert__: you're trying to mount sdb?
[15:36] <arathald> robert__: it looks to not be partitioned
[15:36] <robert__> yes
[15:37] <robert__> yes i want to mount sdb
[15:37] <arathald> robert__: type 'sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb', then quit and tell me what partitions you saw there
[15:37] <robert__> i also see it as 2233 pram
[15:37] <bernz> puser, i just tried 'alsamixer -c 0' (never seen it before), hah! text-based mixer, nice!
[15:38] <robert__> when i go to paces-> computer
[15:38] <robert__> when i go to places-> computer-> 2233 pram
[15:38] <bernz> nilsma, since i'm not totally aware of your problem, are you GUI-less at the moment? (perhaps why the 'alsamixer -c 0' was suggested...?)
[15:38] <nilsma> puser: alsamixer: master capture is 100%, "Line" 100% L capt R, "Mic" L capt R, and "Mic Sele" with mic1/mic2, "Amic" 100% ... nothing seems to be off, though i am no pro at this
[15:38] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  You may want to test with a live cd. and see if that sees the usb thing properly. its possible it may be faulty. or very curripted
[15:38] <arathald> ... is sdb a usb drive?
[15:39] <nilsma> bernz: my system is running fine, no problems at all, just not able to record and play back sound from my own microphone
[15:39] <puser> bernz: :), it's easier to give instructions long distance with text baced utilities then GUI.
[15:39] <robert__> FATAL ERROR cannot open disk drive
[15:39] <puser> nilsma: did you press F4 in there?
[15:39] <arathald> robert__: you did that through sudo?
[15:39] <arathald> robert__: if you don't use sudo, it won't read the drive
[15:39] <robert__> yes i did i got a grey screen with the message above
[15:40] <nilsma> puser: yes, i went thru first "capture"-tab, then the "all"-tab
[15:40] <arathald> well, if you did it through sudo and it couldn't read the drive, there's likely something wrong with the drive. do what Dr_Willis suggested
[15:41] <robert__> live ubuntu cd?
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> I had a usb flash drive go flakey. and couldent do anything with it untill i 'zeroed' it out with dd and reformated it.
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> robert__:  or any live cd.
[15:42] <arathald> robert__: yes; also try it in another computer, with a different version of linux or with windows or macos, to see if any of those can read the drive
[15:42] <Selcuk> "#qemu :Cannot send to channel" what doeas it means ?
[15:42] <iceroot> Selcuk: that you cannot send to the channel  have a look at #freenode
[15:42] <Selcuk> i can not send any massages at public in qemu clanel
[15:43] <robert__> i tried it already and it read the usb but keeps asking to insert the drive name G:

[15:44] <robert__> i will go try it on a mac pc..i'll be right back
[15:44] <rotham> hey.. when i try to load ubuntu i get a screen that looks like a command line starting with sh:grub> ... how can I fix that?
[15:44] <puser> nilsma: in view you should have [Capture] selected. You should have only capture devices there, i.e. mic, line-in, no speakers. You need to select the right input. Like, for example, I have two mics in there. One Ext mic, and one int mic. Each have 2 sections. One - selection section, the other level. The level should be up and selection should say L CAPTUR R.
[15:45] <puser> nilsma: maybe you don't have pulseaudio installed? Skype requires PulseAudio
[15:45] <nilsma> puser: how do i check for pulseaudio?
[15:46] <lorenzo__> #ubuntu-it-chat
[15:46] <puser> pulser: maybe you should run:
[15:46] <puser> sudo pavumeter --record
[15:46] <nilsma> according to synaptic thingy its installer
[15:46] <nilsma> according to synaptic thingy its installed*
[15:47] <nilsma> sudo pavumeter --record returns the same error message
[15:47] <nilsma> let me try booting, brb
[15:48] <rotham> I just updated ubuntu, and now when i try to load ubuntu i get a screen that looks like a command line starting with sh:grub> ... how can I fix that?
[15:49] <Selcuk> ok thx for your help
[15:49] <puser> rotham: try to run:
[15:49] <puser> /etc/init.d/gdm
[15:49] <puser> rotham: try to run:
[15:49] <puser> /etc/init.d/gdm start
[15:49] <puser> rotham: maybe, you don't have graphics drivers installed
[15:50] <abstrakt> how do I enable NTFS support in Ubuntu?
[15:50] <abstrakt> i just need read, not r/w
[15:50] <puser> rotham: you might have to reinstall your graphics drivers. When I upgraded ubuntu from 8.10 to 9.04, my graphics got screwed up, I reinstalled the graphics drivers and it fixed the problem
[15:51] <BluesKaj> abstrakt, ntfs-3g
[15:52] <rotham> it doesnt even give me an option to pick which kernel to use
[15:52] <rotham> i think i found a fix online
[15:52] <peter_> ütpt
[15:52] <rotham> someone mentioned the exact problem i had
[15:52] <vexati0n> can I get some help with Brasero? i'm trying to create a DVD image and it is stuck on "converting video file to mpeg2" ... the video itself is like 15 seconds long (just a test) wtf?

[15:53] <xaa_V> Hello! I've noticed recently that youtube.com does not display the videos. It appears a link that says Go Upgrade! and it sends me to the adobe page. I'm using ubuntu 9.10 and mozilla firefox 3.5.8. I've opened Synaptic Package and looked for flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree, both are upgraded to the latest version 10.0.45.2ubuntu0.9. It worked until a couple of days ago. Any idea on what could be wrong?
[15:53] <peter_> öuöuökö8
[15:53] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, ok i already have that installed, is there a particular reason my windows partition doesn't auto mount like my USB drives?
[15:53] <IdleOne> !danish
[15:53] <peter_> ls
[15:54] <Pici> !de | peter_
[15:54] <robert__> hi everyone i am back. i tried it on mac to no avail
[15:54] <BluesKaj> abstrakt, are you using nautilus / network ?
[15:54] <robert__> ok..so i will try with a live cd
[15:54] <abstrakt> i'm using Nautilus
[15:54] <IdleOne> Pici: thanks
[15:54] <robert__> thanks everyone for your gracious time and support
[15:55] <abstrakt> dunno what you mean by "/ network"
[15:55] <hamzaatova3> i've a question-- i can connect to my wireless connectnio with the linux computer but not with another computer with win 7-- do you know what might cause it?
[15:55] <abstrakt> i mean i'm sure i can poke around and figure out where the drive is in /dev and mount it myself, but it seems that nautilus should auto recognize and mount it if I've got NTFS available
[15:55] <haavaros> I made an entry in startup programs: gnome-terminal -e ssh 'username@server.com' in the hope that it would start a terminal window at login ... it didn't. How can I do that?
[15:55] <abstrakt> hamzaatova3, yeah, win 7
[15:55] <IdleOne> hamzaatova3: ask in ##windows for windows related support
[15:56] <robert__> actually i tried it with acronis true image cd to try and look at the usb and it did not see the device
[15:56] <BluesKaj> abstrakt, please use my nick when you ask a question...I'm also on other channels so the notification tells me to answer
[15:56] <bernz> puser, "it's easier to give instructions long distance with text baced utilities then GUI."> ah, of course :-)
[15:56] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, np, some people like that some people don't
[15:56] <bernz> wb nilsma, any changes after a reboot?
[15:57] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, so, dunno what you mean by "/ network" and i'm sure i can mount the thing myself, but i'd like to see it available in Nautilus when i startup my system
[15:57] <nilsma> hmm, not much, but i get the pavumeter going now
[15:57] <sv> ...
[15:57] <bernz> that sounds useful
[15:57] <robert__> Hi everyone! How I access a curropted usb drive?
[15:58] <sv> всем доброго времени суток
[15:58] <nilsma> mm, but the meter is just trembling at 0-2%
[15:58] <BluesKaj> abstrakt, look in the places menu for network
[15:58] <arathald> ...
[15:58] <nilsma> tho when i turn master capture off in alsamixer it dies, meaning that there is some pulse there
[15:58] <sv> есть кто понимает по руски?
[15:58] <Myrtti> !ru | sv
[15:59] <nilsma> either my microphone is busted (tho it was working a short while ago on win), or i am using the wrong option for capture device or something
[15:59] <sv> народ
[15:59] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, not much, just one item that says "Windows Network" but i get some random error like not found or whatever when i try to open it
[15:59] <robert__> Hi everyone! How I access a corrupted usb drive?
[16:00] <BluesKaj> abstrakt, pastebin your /etc/fstab file
[16:00] <nilsma> i should possibly point out that all other sound (output) is working nicely, its just microphone (input) i am struggling with
[16:00] <robert__> hi dr. willis and all! i tried live cd to no avail
[16:00] <haavaros> I made an entry in startup programs: gnome-terminal -e ssh 'username@server.com' in the hope that it would start a terminal window at login ... it didn't. How can I make that happen?
[16:00] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, maybe in a while, got work to do, but thanks... i'll look at fstab later
[16:01] <bernz> nilsma, have you tried using the GUI ALSA mixer/control-panel?
[16:01] <arathald> robert__: do you have important files on there, or can it be erased?
[16:01] <bernz> (also called "sound preferences" in 9.10+)
[16:02] <robert__> arathald: yes i want the files on it
[16:02] <nilsma> bernz: yes, i have been looking about in there as well
[16:03] <nilsma> having 5 different devices to choose from there
[16:03] <bernz> haavaros, does the command work by itself, in another shell? i'm wondering if gnome-terminal is working, but can't execute 'ssh' (and subsequently closes?)
[16:03] <arathald> robert__: well, it depends how it's corrupted... data retrieval can be a nontrivial task
[16:03] <bernz> nilsma, on the 'input' page?
[16:03] <_iTroll> guys, im using remastersys to make a live cd from my ubuntu install, I need a system wide alias, will it work in /etc/profile?
[16:04] <robert__> arathald: ok..lets do it...lets get this non-trivial data back
[16:04] <nilsma> on sound preferences
[16:04] <robert__> arathald: what are my non-trivial options
[16:04] <nilsma> thru system > sound
[16:04] <arathald> robert__: actually, I'm supposed to be at lunch now... I'll be back in ~35 minutes, but even then, I can't guarentee anything... im not an expert
[16:04] <nilsma> (or double-click sound-icon on control panel)
[16:04] <bernz> nilsma, within the 'sound preferences' dialog, there should be a few tab-pages on top: 'sound effects', hardware', 'input', 'output', 'applications' (you are on 9.10, or?)
[16:05] <arathald> robert__: the first thing I would try though, is pulling an image with dd, and if that fails, with dd_recover or dc3dd
[16:05] <robert__> arathald: thats ok..go have lunch and hit me back when u r ready
[16:05] <arathald> robert__: you can look those up and figure out how to do that, you don't need me to look down those paths
[16:05] <haavaros> bernz: yes, the command works in terminal
[16:05] <robert__> arathald: ok will do
[16:05] <bernz> robert__, how much you do you know so far? (can you positively identify the device in /dev, and so on)
[16:05] <robert__> dd it is
[16:05] <robert__> arathald: /dev/sdb
[16:06] <nilsma> my apologies bernz, i am on 8.10, pointed it out earlier, but that was probably before you joined in the conversation :/
[16:06] <Selcuk> still i cant wrtie that channel
[16:06] <Selcuk> :(
[16:06] <bernz> haavaros, so, when 'startup' runs, it might have a "weaker" environment (less things defined), and could be having trouble finding the path to ssh, even if it works from a "proper" shell (after login)... but i don't know how to check/prove that easily, off-hand
[16:06] <Selcuk> i have resiterd my nick and logged on but its not work
[16:06] <bernz> nilsma, ah yes, i'd missed that... okay, your mixer will look different (less options i think)
[16:07] <nilsma> yes
[16:07] <Myrtti> NickServ(NickServ@services.)- Selcuk has NOT COMPLETED  registration verification
[16:07] <Myrtti> Selcuk: check your email
[16:07] <bernz> nilsma, but you should still be able to select an input device, and then adjust a 'mic' volume (check for mute also), and maybe even a 'boost' setting; try each device in turn (maybe you already have)
[16:07] <nilsma> i have two tabs "devices" and "sounds"
[16:07] <woty> Hello
[16:07] <eremite> Hello woty
[16:08] <fastputty> hello however i send email uing exim, my email fall into junkbox of hotmail, yahoo etc.. is there a way to legit my email??
[16:08] <bernz> nilsma, okay, the 'sounds' tab is probably just for associating sounds with system events (not relevant to the problem at hand); stay with the 'devices' area, at least
[16:09] <nilsma> right you are, the sounds tab is basically for the events etc
[16:09] <nilsma> in devices i have "sound event", "music and movies" and "audio conferencing", and "default mixer tracks"
[16:09] <nilsma> one subcategory is "sound capture"
[16:09] <bernz> that sounds promising
[16:09] <s4aluck> do somebody can help me to make my webcam pleomax pwc-3800 work on Karmic
[16:10] <nilsma> where i have different alternatives, div. pulseaudio, oss, alsa, test-sound and similar
[16:10] <Remmaze> guys, need your help, what is the best Scanner for Ubuntu 9.10....??
[16:10] <bernz> if you scroll way down on this page -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting -- you'll find a section 'getting line input to work (microphone, etc)' -- maybe this will offer some clues?
[16:11] <nilsma> thanks mate, i will read thru it and try what i find there :)
[16:11] <bernz> AFAIK, OSS is the oldest audio subsystem (thus, often more reliable); maybe you can use OSS for input?
[16:11] <bernz> nilsma, no worries, good luck!
[16:12] <nilsma> thanks!
[16:12] <Remmaze> guys, need your help, what is the best Scanner for Ubuntu 9.10....??
[16:13] <IdleOne> !hardware | Remmaze
[16:13] <MohammadRRR> hi i have just bought a vaio F111FX NoteBook with nvidia 310M VGA Driver . When I install nvidia 185 driver using Hardware drivers and i reboot . i just see a black screen and when i remove the driver every thing fix . what should i do ?
[16:13] <Remmaze> ok than...
[16:13] <haavaros> bernz: I tried specifying the path, like this: /usr/bin/gnome-terminal e- /usr/bin/ssh 'name@server.com' , without any luck
[16:13] <BluesKaj> !best | Remmaze
[16:13] <bernz> robert__, so /dev/sdb is your physical drive; it has volumes (AKA partitions) on it, usually just a single on if it's external drive via USB... you have '/dev/sdb' and '/dev/sdb1', i suppose?
[16:13] <Selcuk> its ok now
[16:14] <keepguessing> Hi I wanted to know if there are any good download managers for ubuntu ... I am currently using wget ... I usually get around 200kBps on my windows ... Here i am not crossing 100KBPS
[16:14] <bernz> haavaros, i'm sure it was just a typo, but you've transposed 'e-' (should be '-e'); you had it correct earlier
[16:14] <Selcuk> i mean i can send messages to the cannel
[16:14] <keepguessing> Please suggest ... Thanks :)
[16:14] <robert__> bernz: yes
[16:14] <VoidByte> Does any one know which gstreamer package contains the codec for quicktime?
[16:14] <robert__> i tried to access it but no medium found
[16:15] <haavaros> bernz: yep, typo here :)
[16:15] <eremite> VoidByte, searching in the synaptic repos you should be able to search for quicktime, find the gstreamer package, look at the dependancies for that package.
[16:15] <robert__> bernz: /dev/sdb is the usb removable drive
[16:15] <fabio666> keepguessing: wget is fast as hell.... downthemall for firefox
[16:15] <bernz> haavaros, i'm sure i've read that one is supposed to start GUI programs a special way, though i can't remember what it is, and it shouldn't have that much effect anyway (some highly technical issues in certain situations if GUI apps are launched from a shell)
[16:16] <robert__> bernz: i am trying to access this usb drive
[16:16] <bernz> robert__, okay, so if you 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb', you'll get some info on the drive, including list of partitions... do you?
[16:16] <keepguessing> fabio666: I see a performance difference as I mentioned earlier ... How would you explaing that??
[16:16] <daniskami> For some reason, my gnome-screensaver stopped working. The process is still running, and "gnome-screensaver-command -a" works fine, but it won't activate when the computer is idle. What could be the cause? How does the screensaver know the computer is idle? (Xubuntu 9.10)
[16:16] <robert__> bernz: the command comes up blank
[16:17] <fabio666> keepguessing: linux for me is a lot faster, try downthemall
[16:17] <ddavids> which microblogging client can i use...?
[16:17] <bernz> haavaros, there's definitely a solution to this one, in any case, but i'm just not seeing where the problem lies
[16:17] <MohammadRRR> ddavids: choqok
[16:17] <fabio666> and start downloading more than 4 segments for a single file
[16:17] <keepguessing> fabio666: thanks will try it
[16:17] <sinistrad> bernz, hdparm might give some stats
[16:18] <bernz> robert__, interesting; you're sure you're executing as super? for my systems, blank results from 'fdisk -l' are usually caused by running as non-super
[16:18] <robert__> bernz: yes i know
[16:18] <robert__> bernz: this is interesting
[16:18] <bernz> sinistrad, true, though we're more interested in determining the configuration of the partitions (not so much the disk geometry)
[16:19] <sinistrad> bernz, Ahh, ok.  Just sat down and saw the end of that
[16:19] <bernz> robert__, so, if you do 'ls -l /dev/sd*', you get '/dev/sdb' and something else starting with the same, or only the drive device?
[16:19] <bernz> sinistrad, yeah, no worries :-)
[16:19] <haavaros> bernz: I'll just post the question in the forums. Thx anyway
[16:19] <bernz> haavaros, cool, good luck
[16:20] <robert__> bernz: i get brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,  0 2010-03-16 08:09 /dev/sda
[16:20] <robert__> brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,  1 2010-03-16 08:09 /dev/sda1

[16:20] <FloodBot4> robert__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:20] <robert__> bernz: oops sorry
[16:20] <robert__> will do next time
[16:21] <FrEaKmAn_> how could I compare content of 2 folders?
[16:21] <FrEaKmAn_> just if equal or not
[16:21] <bernz> robert__, okay, now we're getting somewhere...
[16:21] <bernz> robert__, it looks as if your drive's partition table is empty or damaged (otherwise, volumes would show up as '/dev/sdb1', '/dev/sdb5', or other similar names)
[16:22] <Boondoklife> FrEaKmAn_: diff should do that for ya.
[16:22] <Slart> FrEaKmAn_: you can use diff
[16:22] <robert__> bernz: yes you are quite right
[16:22] <FrEaKmAn_> thanks
[16:22] <bernz> robert__, the next step is to *carefully* examine the partition table more closely, using fdisk, but *NOT SAVING* anything ;-)
[16:23] <robert__> bernz: ok lets do it
[16:23] <bernz> robert__, 'sudo fdisk /dev/sdb', and then NEVER use command 'w', only 'q' to quit after your inspection... press 'm' for help/menu... you want a list
[16:23] <bernz> robert__, that's done with 'p' (print partition table)
[16:23] <bernz> p
[16:23] <robert__> bernz: i get Unable to open /dev/sdb
[16:23] <lqiang> 为什么登录的时候显示  Couldn't look up your hostname
[16:24] <lqiang> ？？
[16:24] <posixGuru> ubuntu-9.10-desktop-armel+imx51.img
[16:24] <lqiang> why show
[16:24] <posixGuru> what is armel
[16:24] <posixGuru> ?
[16:24] <lqiang>  Couldn't look up your hostname
[16:24] <bernz> okay, then there's possible good and bad news: (1) your usb-IDE/SATA/SCSI bridge has failed (big deal, buy another "case"); (2) your HD controller has failed (shit, shit, shit! call forensics if you want to save stuff)
[16:25] <bernz> (good *or* bad, that is)
[16:26] <billybigrigger> can someone help me out here, i've been away from the internet for awhile, now my system is far behind in updates, so i went to update today and apt is complaining about dependancy problems with libmobiledevice
[16:26] <billybigrigger> here's my pastebin, now i can't upgrade until i fix this problem
[16:27] <bernz> robert__, here's a visual of points of failure:  [HD:platter bend, head crash, physical trauma basically] <-> [HD controller: electronic component failure; firmware bug] <-> [ATA/SATA/SCSI-to-USB bridge: electronic component failure; firmware bug] <-> [USB-to-Southbridge: elec. comp. failure, OS/software bug]
[16:27] <billybigrigger> http://pastebin.ca/1842522
[16:28] <dleon_> why u dont use "aptitude update"?
[16:28] <robert__> bernz: thanks. so these are the possible issues with the usb drive?
[16:28] <bernz> robert__, you might want to unplug your USB drive, then 'tail -f /var/log/messages', then plug in drive, and watch the events for anything "suspicious"
[16:29] <robert__> bernz: will do ..gimme a sec..
[16:29] <ChogyDan> !lucid | billybigrigger
[16:29] <bernz> robert__, yeah, it's totally possible... i've had USB-IDE bridges fail before, especially back in the day, when they were more "new"
[16:29] <littlegirl> billybigrigger: Try sudo apt-get -f install libimobiledevice0
[16:29] <posixGuru> I am repeating my question: ubuntu-9.10-desktop-armel+imx51.img: what is
[16:29] <posixGuru> areml?
[16:30] <posixGuru> armel
[16:30] <arathald> robert__: im back, did you manage to start pulling an image?
[16:30] <bernz> posixGuru, it sounds like a corruption of 'atmel' for ARM processors
[16:30] <bernz> posixGuru, at the very least, it's a "special" build for a "weird" processor
[16:30] <robert__> arathald: can't make image casue can't see device
[16:30] <wazzaaaaa> !armel
[16:30] <eremite> posixGuru: ARM is a processor architecture used in a variety of applications
[16:30] <robert__> bernz has been helping me troubleshoot
[16:31] <ChogyDan> posixGuru: I think it is an architecture
[16:31] <arathald> robert__: can't see /dev/sdb anymore at all?
[16:31] <posixGuru> eremite, I know about ARM
[16:31] <bernz> arathald, it sounds like the problem is pretty deep; fdisk can't get at the partition table
[16:31] <puser> nibbler: wammu, I liked this program a lot, ...but do you know any program to send USSD requests (to check balance, remaining package usage, etc.)
[16:31] <bernz> arathald, that is, robert has tried 'sudo fdisk /dev/sdb' just to look at it more closely, and it failed attempting to 'hook' the drive
[16:32] <robert__> i pasted the output in ubuntu psate
[16:32] <arathald> bernz: if the partition table is corrupted, it might do that, but you should still be able to pull an image
[16:32] <robert__> bernz & arathald: did you guys see the post?
[16:32] <arathald> bernz: at very least with dd_rescue or dc3dd if there's corruption or certain kinds of physical damage
[16:32] <bernz> posixGuru, as atmel makes a lot of ARM processors, they sometimes put a little twist on things, and maybe you then need a very specific "armel" build to run on such processors to take advantage of the customizations done by atmel
[16:33] <arathald> robert__: repost, im not going to search through my log
[16:33] <bernz> arathald, yes, cloning the drive with 'dd' is worth a try, i agree
[16:33] <bernz> arathald, what about just ripping sector 0 (partition table); are there any tools that can examine partition tables as bin files?
[16:33] <arathald> i just dealt with a hard drive failure yesterday, this stuff is frech in my mind
[16:34] <arathald> bernz: im not sure, im not a data recovery expert, i suppose if you know enough about partition tables, you can look at the hex
[16:34] <robert__> Mar 16 12:29:36 robert-desktop kernel: [15606.081013] usb 1-1.4: USB disconnect, address 7
[16:34] <robert__> Mar 16 12:29:47 robert-desktop kernel: [15617.472069] usb 1-1.4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
[16:34] <arathald> robert__: pastebin, not in the channel
[16:35] <robert__> how do i paste bin?
[16:35] <arathald> pastebin.org
[16:35] <bernz> arathald, eh... i like assembly programming; that's as deep as i go in terms of "looking at hex" ;-)
[16:35] <Wackler1> Due to a sound problem I think, i killed my system... Is there a way to just reinstall Ubuntu... without touching my data... and I don't care about my apps or so...
[16:35] <Myrtti> !pastebin | robert__
[16:36] <arathald> bernz: ive had to do machine code programming before (for class, we didn't have an assembler because we were using a custom architecture), slogging through hex doesn't intimidate me anymore :P
[16:36] <bernz> robert__, okay, so your USB-ATA/SATA/SCSI/whatever bridge is probably fine (the case); thus, if it's at all hardware-related, it would be the disk controller, but... arathald's suggestion of 'dd' (or similar) is the best
[16:36] <CalmvsKhaos> whats the name of the network manager gnome uses? and how would i install that from my ubuntu disk? I have no internet on my other box, something like apt-cdrom install <package>?
[16:36] <bernz> arathald, it's not intimidation, it's tedium ;-)
[16:37] <robert__> bernz: ok..sounds like a plan
[16:37] <xangua> CalmvsKhaos: gnome-network-manager ; you can install it from ubuntu cd/dvd
[16:37] <bernz> arathald, i'm not as young as i used to be, and now getting *too* nitty-gritty isn't as spellbinding as it once was :-D
[16:37] <arathald> heh
[16:37] <arathald> fair enough
[16:37] <robert__> bernz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/396235/
[16:37] <bernz> robert__, be *very* sure of your command-line when using 'dd' or similar low-level tools
[16:37] <arathald> yes, defintely
[16:38] <CalmvsKhaos> xangua, im trying sudo apt-cdrom install gnome-network-manager it says sudo: Unable to resolve host seanbrystone-desktop
[16:38] <xangua> open synaptic or software origins and add it CalmvsKhaos
[16:38] <arathald> if you flip if and of youll end up killing your disk
[16:38] <arathald> dd_rescue is a *little* better about these things
[16:38] <bernz> robert__, yeah, everything looks normal, from that pastebin
[16:38] <arathald> but dc3dd uses dd syntax
[16:38] <Oasa> as i dont have a dvd /cd rom...
[16:38] <Oasa> i would like to boot a cd/dvd from another computer via LAN. how do i do it ?
[16:39] <Oasa> i selected Network BOOT from bios but it doesnt help
[16:39] <robert__> bernz: now for dd
[16:39] <nibbler> puser: no, sorry.
[16:39] <bernz> okay, robert__, a cursory Web search has revealed something you might want to try: 'TestDisk'... tool for recovering busted partitions, etc
[16:40] <bernz> http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[16:40] <bernz> never tried it myself, can't vouch for it, but it might help, even just a bit
[16:40] <CalmvsKhaos> whats the name of the network manager gnome uses? and how would i install that from my ubuntu disk? I have no internet on my other box, something like apt-cdrom install <package>?
[16:40] <Boondoklife> Oasa: I have never heard of anyone doing that. Closest option would be a network boot to install a premade image.
[16:40] <CalmvsKhaos> whats the syntax to install stuff from ONLY CDROM?
[16:41] <bernz> robert__, if you have a spare USB stick/pen drive around, unhook your "broken" USB drive, and experiment with 'dd' using the stick drive first, until you get comfortable with it; if you wipe the stick drive by accident, no bigs
[16:41] <[DEATH]> suck my dick bitchesx :D
[16:41] <Oasa> Boondoklife: can you please tell me more
[16:41] <tyler_d2> CalmvsKhaos: you have to comment out the aptitude sources..
[16:41] <bernz> CalmvsKhaos, i think it's actually called 'networkmanager'
[16:41] <CalmvsKhaos> i did
[16:41] <robert__> bernz: good idea
[16:42] <bernz> CalmvsKhaos, "NetworkManager Applet"
[16:42] <tyler_d2> CalmvsKhaos: then it will only install from the CD
[16:42] <epaphus2> Hello, does anybody know if KeyPass is available on any repository in ubuntu?
[16:43] <Boondoklife> Boondoklife: Well if your computer supports network booting, You can have a tftp server on the network and use that to send the computer a base environment to restore a premade image of the computer. Check out bacula that is what I use.
[16:43] <CalmvsKhaos> omg whats the syntax to install ONLY FROM CDROM i need gnome's netowrking manager back I installed wicd, wicd no working, so i need gnomes networking manager back please
[16:43] <tyler_d2> epaphus2: I am using keepassx and its pretty good
[16:43] <Boondoklife> Oasa: wow talking to myself lol, that was meant for you oasa.
[16:43] <arathald> CalmvsKhaos: i don't know offhand, how about ask google?
[16:43] <TomFarr> [Green] is here?
[16:43] <ChogyDan> CalmvsKhaos: what cd? alternate or live?
[16:43] <robert__> bernz: i am going to get a blanck usb and test dd..thanks and i'll keep yall posted
[16:44] <CalmvsKhaos> ChogyDan, live
[16:44] <ChogyDan> CalmvsKhaos: it may not be on there
[16:44] <CalmvsKhaos> i have an alternate too but not sure its 64 bit
[16:44] <TomFarr> 10.04 is good?
[16:44] <CalmvsKhaos> ChogyDan, ok how would i add ONLY gnome's networking app to a usb stick or something so i can sneakernet it over to my broken box?
[16:45] <bernz> robert__, cool, good luck... here are some tips before you go: the partition table lives at the "front" (usually sector 0) of drives; it contains a mapping of partitions (where they start, end, etc); if you "steal" a copy of it by copying sector 0 (source) with 'dd', to a file (dest), you can examine the file (the Internet will tell you how to make sense of it; yes, it's nasty, but do-able)
[16:45] <tyler_d2> CalmvsKhaos: whats wrong with sudo aptitude install network-manager-gnome
[16:45] <Oasa> Boondoklife : Can you simplify. I am a newbie
[16:45] <CalmvsKhaos> no internet tyler_d2
[16:46] <CalmvsKhaos> tyler_d2, ohhh wait i think that worked :)
[16:46] <bernz> CalmvsKhaos, technically, you can edit your 'sources.list', and temporarily remove all net-based sources, and add/leave the CDROM-based ones
[16:46] <tyler_d2> CalmvsKhaos: if your source is set to cd using sources, then it should grab it from there
[16:46] <CalmvsKhaos> some reason aptitude worked, but apt-get didnt
[16:46] <CalmvsKhaos> :)
[16:46] <ChogyDan> CalmvsKhaos: network-manager and network-manager-gnome
[16:46] <bernz> CalmvsKhaos, always back up the original file first, though, so it's easy to get it back when you need too .... e.g. 'sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.as_of_today's_date'
[16:47] <Boondoklife> Oasa: Ok in order to do what I am talking about, You need a server (which houses the computer images) and it has to be setup with tftp in order to share the images. From there if you follow the walkthrough on the bacula site it will show you how to setup the client and even some of the server stuff.
[16:47] <bernz> 'too'->'to' (good lord, i'm getting stupid)
[16:47] <lente> hi there. I'm on my way to configure my kernel. (using 2.6.26 source) I figured out that my cpu has the "AMD K10" arch. This kernel doesnt support optimization for this arch. Which shell I choose?
[16:48] <ChogyDan> lente: are you on hardy?
[16:48] <lente> yes
[16:49] <ChogyDan> lente: ok, I was going to ask, "why not use a later kernel?"  :)
[16:49] <Oasa> Boondoklife : Well I will give it a try.
[16:50] <bernz> aiiiight, i've got some drives shared on my LAN through samba, and i want them to be accessible through "standard" paths; there are several options; can anyone recommend one, and the reasons behind it? i'm currently eyeing 'autofs'
[16:51] <lente> k will try. What if it isnt supported either? Choosing k8 (single core) or core2/xenon (which is intel)
[16:51] <ccmonster> hey guys, i added the new amarok repository to my Ubuntu sources then did a sudo apt-get update  and then upgrade and now I have 2 unmet dependencies..
[16:51] <ccmonster> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[16:51] <bernz> (i.e. most apps don't support "smb://servername/sharename/whatever"; i want access via something like "/mnt/net/servername/sharename" or similar)
[16:51] <ccmonster>   consolekit: Breaks: udev (< 147) but 147~-6.1 is installed
[16:51] <ccmonster>   libudev0: Depends: udev (= 151-3) but 147~-6.1 is installed
[16:52] <ChogyDan> lente: I thought at some point they got rid of that, and just put all the optimizations into modules that are loaded at run time.
[16:52] <Boondoklife> bernz: look under ~/.gvfs
[16:52] <mdasilva> hey guys, im running into "too many open files" errors even after increasing fs.file-max and limits.conf... any ideas?
[16:53] <lente> k thx goodye
[16:53] <bernz> Boondoklife, omg, niiiiiiice! cheers
[16:54] <epaphus2> Hello is it possible to hide the System menu for unpriviledged users?
[16:54] <bernz> Boondoklife, i've only got one share listed there, though, and it's one i've already accessed another way (via "smb://..." in nautilus)
[16:54] <bernz> Boondoklife, how did it get there, and how do i force other shares to appear there without first hitting them another way?
[16:54] <oddy> hi, is there a way to get rid of pulse audio but keep the gnome volume functionality? cos pulse audio mucks up loads of stuff but without it i change the volume
[16:55] <Boondoklife> bernz: network shares should show up there if you got to them via nautilus
[16:56] <bernz> Boondoklife, okay, that *is* useful, though what i'd like is something that automounts network shares that were visible at boot time, and leaves them mounted (branching off a common spot, preferably starting at '/mnt')... any ideas?
[16:56] <bernz> (i mean without having to visit them first in nautilus)
[16:56] <Oasa> I have a CD which is bootable. If i make an iso file and WRITE it to a usb drive using USB IMAGE WRITER. Is it possible that The usb will work the same way CD works ? I mean it will boot and install the OS ?
[16:56] <ZykoticK9> bernz, add your shares to fstab and they will be mounted at boot
[16:57] <Boondoklife> bernz: only option I could think of would be putting them in the fstab, or a bash script to mount them with gvfs when you log in
[16:57] <urlwallace> good morning  Im running ubuntu 9.1.0 (love it). Im experiencing " mini-freezes on and off every 6 minutes or so..this is happening when viewing a video in 64 bit flash beta .  Is there a fix for this..thank you
[16:57] <arathald> bernz: i was going to suggest a bash script... i assume you mean that you won't know exactly what they are, which would preclude adding them to fstab?
[16:57] <dj_segfault> Oasa: No. but Linux has a tool to create a bootable USB drive.  System --> Administration --> USB startup disk creator
[16:57] <ccmonster> anyone?
[16:58] <arathald> ccmonster: anyone what?
[16:58] <bernz> ZykoticK9, arathald, Boondoklife, okay, i will figure out how to add them to fstab; they are consistent (same server, same share names, permissions, etc), so it shouldn't be that tricky
[16:58] <ccmonster> just having an issue with broken dependencies but -f install and all that isn't doing it.
[16:58] <CalmvsKhaos> whats the command to see if you have a package installed?
[16:58] <dj_segfault> CalmvsKhaos: dpkg-query -l
[16:58] <Oasa> dj_segfault: I dont have that I am using hardy. Plus I have an application UNETBOOT
[16:58] <Oasa> ?
[16:59] <Boondoklife> bernz: fstab can be a lil wonky for samba shares in my experience but good luck.
[16:59] <om26er> Oasa, that would be unetbootin?
[16:59] <om26er> ok
[16:59] <Besogon> Hello. What have everybody got in fstab file at the strings mentioned about "/media". I'm interested in default values which make ubuntu.
[16:59] <Oasa> yes om26er
[16:59] <bernz> Boondoklife, yeah, it's kind of a bitch, i agree... i'm looking at my fstab right now, and i'm thinking i need a path that already works, in order to refer to it... i guess it's off to the Web for some reading about samba and how it "advertises" its shares
[17:00] <ccmonster> arathald, i have this :
[17:00] <Oasa> om26er I remember using that to write Gparted LIVE
[17:00] <ccmonster> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[17:00] <ccmonster>   consolekit: Breaks: udev (< 147) but 147~-6.1 is installed
[17:00] <ccmonster>   libudev0: Depends: udev (= 151-3) but 147~-6.1 is installed
[17:00] <arathald> ccmonster: stop right htere
[17:00] <ccmonster> k
[17:00] <CalmvsKhaos> dj_segfault, it says rc next to network-manager-gnome does that mean its installed?
[17:00] <FloodBot4> ccmonster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:00] <arathald> ccmonster: pastebin
[17:00] <ccmonster> yea..one sec.
[17:00] <Boondoklife> bernz: hit the forums, I know its there
[17:00] <arathald> ccmonster: don't paste into the channel
[17:00] <bernz> (once something is added to fstab, though, it always works, which rules)
[17:00] <bernz> Boondoklife, cool, will do
[17:00]  * bernz has a love-hate relationship with fstab
[17:01] <lolita> ola
[17:01] <arathald> bernz: yeah, if they're consistent, fstab is by far the most correct tool
[17:01] <arathald> (sorry, im behind by a few minutes)
[17:01] <lolita> xoa
[17:01] <lolita> xao

[17:02] <Guest63681> how to install my asus cdrw 5524a in ubuntu???
[17:02] <Guest63681> anybody can help?
[17:02] <ccmonster> umm, just pop it in
[17:02] <eremite> Does anyone know an app that works like CCleaner for Windows does?
[17:02] <ccmonster> and do a sudo apt-get update
[17:02] <ccmonster> then sudo apt-get upgrade
[17:03] <ccmonster> chances are, that burner should work out of the box.
[17:03] <haakon87> eremite: Janitor
[17:03] <eremite> haakon87: it doesn't seem to clean up as much as CCleaner does, and not the same kind fo files it seems.
[17:03] <Guest63681> computer doesn't recognize my cdrw ...
[17:04] <haakon87> eremite: What sort of files do you want cleaned up?
[17:04] <Guest63681> sudo apt-get doesn't do anything
[17:04] <arathald> ...
[17:04] <Oasa> Please help me. I dont know what to do. I formatted my xp drive so that i can install win 2000. Now i dont know what to do because my CD/ROM drive doesnt work. I can use my friends computer to make an iso file. and is it possible to WRITE it to a usb using unetbootin . WIll that work as normal ? please help me. I am using hardy heron

[17:04] <Guest63681> i want ot burn an iso with brasero but he doesn't recognize my cdrw asus 5224a
[17:04] <arathald> well, good, because that's not the commanbd you wee told to run, Guest63681
[17:05] <arathald> *Command
[17:05] <eremite> haakon87: all caches, cookies, unused files and orphans, etc.  Janitor does not seem to get them all.
[17:05] <arathald> ccmonster: what command are you running to get that?
[17:05] <Nollog> Oasa: Not sure about 2k, xp would.
[17:05] <ccmonster> sudo apt-get -f install
[17:05] <flotopoco> heloo
[17:05] <flotopoco> hello
[17:05] <ccmonster> hola.
[17:05] <flotopoco> hola
[17:06] <deostroll> hi, which is a good download manager for ubuntu...it should be able to pause and resume downloads n stuff...
[17:06] <haakon87> caches that the package manager would download can be done via the aptitude/apt-get programs.
[17:06] <pinux> hello all :)
[17:06] <Guest63681> anybod y know how to make my ubuntu recognize my asus cdrw??
[17:06] <flotopoco> its my first time whit linux, and i had a problem whit ubuntu 9.10 after installed
[17:06] <Oasa> Nollog : What about Vista or Windows 7 ?
[17:06] <bitsmart> how can I tell if my linux swap partition is mounted and working?
[17:06] <haakon87> Other than that, you'd have to create the shellscripts yourself.
[17:06] <haakon87> AFAIK at least.
[17:07] <pinux> can anyone help me out with installing open game panel ? on ubuntu 9.1
[17:07] <Nollog> Oasa: they'd work.
[17:07] <Oasa> Nollog : I have Vista, WIn 7 and 2000 . So any of this will work ? this is for my mom n dad as they use only Windows
[17:07] <Oasa> Nollog : SO which one should i go for ?
[17:07] <c3a1> hi, anybody here have ThinkPad T510 with ubuntu 9.10? I have some problem freezing system at absolutely random time :(
[17:07] <Nollog> 7
[17:07] <Krahazik> I am new to Linux and just installed Ubuntu, how do I log into root?
[17:07] <Oasa> krahazik : You cannot
[17:07] <flotopoco> when i finished install, reset the pc and do not start ubuntu and appears a text "Ubuntu 9.10 my name  tty1"  Mu name login: " what i can do?
[17:07] <Krahazik> I need to
[17:07] <Oasa> krahazik : you will have to enable then
[17:07] <arathald> bitsmart: swapon -s
[17:07] <Krahazik> how?
[17:08] <arathald> ccmonster: have you tried apt-get check?
[17:08] <Oasa> krahazik :  YOu can use sudo rights.
[17:08] <ccmonster> nope
[17:08] <ccmonster> one sec
[17:08] <haakon87> sudo -i for shell, but you really should just do sudo command to run a command as root, or gksudo program to run a graphical program as root.
[17:08] <Nollog> sudo su - I usually do to use root
[17:08] <pappino> sym
[17:08] <flotopoco> i cant use commands
[17:08] <Oasa> System ->Admin->Users and groups and then you can enable root (ITs not recommended)
[17:08] <ccmonster> ok arathald , exact same thing spit out to me.
[17:08] <flotopoco> tell me flotopoco to i stand you speak to me
[17:08] <haakon87> If you have some sort of emergency, booting into single user mode would grant you all of Ubuntu's rootly powers, but that's a bad idea.
[17:09] <arathald> Krahazik: if you *really* want to enable the root account, you can sudo passwd to set the password and enable the root account, but 99% of the time, sudo-ing the command you want is much better, you'll likely end up breaking something if you log into root
[17:09] <Krahazik> well root seams ot be needed for a lot of things
[17:09] <Krahazik> IE, installing my motherboard drivers
[17:09] <arathald> Krahazik: so that's how you do it, but I very strongly advise against it
[17:09] <Guest63681> newbie...
[17:09] <arathald> Krahazik: sudo the command if you need to
[17:09] <bitsmart> arathald dev/sda5   partition   size   3004112   Used 0  Priority -1    does that sound right to you?
[17:09] <Guest63681> how can i install my asus cdrw 5224a in ubuntu????????
[17:10] <Evil_Otto> how can you use one ?
[17:10] <arathald> bitsmart: sure, that means you have /dev/sda5 used as swap
[17:10] <Slart> Krahazik: you don't need to enable the root login to use the root account.. sudo is the way to go.. it can do everything that an actual root login can do
[17:11] <deostroll> any1 heard of gwget?
[17:11] <bitsmart> arathald ok, now I just have to figure out why I'm getting mount errors at bootup, the swap entry in fstab was my first idea
[17:11] <Slart> deostroll: yes
[17:11] <Nollog> a wget gui?
[17:11] <Nollog> I think I sawed that before.
[17:11] <bitsmart> arathald because it is mounted with UUID
[17:11] <arathald> bitsmart: pastebin your fstab if you want me to take a look
[17:11] <Guest63681> scdc
[17:11] <deostroll> slart: hw does gwget support pause n resume downloading...
[17:11] <arathald> bitsmart: or if its a uuid problem, i probably wouldnt be able to do much from here
[17:11] <ccmonster> any clues..>?
[17:11] <Guest63681> how can i install my asus cdrw in ubuntu???
[17:12] <Slart> deostroll: now why didn't you ask that question to the channel the first time?
[17:12] <arathald> s/any1/anyone/
[17:12] <deostroll> slart: want to know good download managrers..
[17:12] <bitsmart> arathald: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/A0uqT4ZM
[17:12] <Oasa> deostroll : firefox is nice :D
[17:12] <Guest63681> ubuntu doesn"t recognize my cdrw???,
[17:12] <deostroll> slart: i don't understand how it supports the pause and resume downloading feature...
[17:13] <Slart> deostroll: no.. I meant.. why did you have to ask the first question (if any1 heard of gwget).. you clearly had another question in mind..
[17:13] <Tharok> Just got introduced to Dropbox, and it hit me. Is there no way to install a server application on an debian/ubuntu machine that acts like a file synch server, open the ports towards the internet and then synch it from any computer? Basically I would have an unlimited Dropbox and not having to upload to their servers (limiting bandwidth etc)
[17:13] <Slart> deostroll: try asking the channel again.. "Does gwget support pause and resume of downloading?"
[17:14] <Guest63681> hello guys...
[17:14] <Guest63681> dvdv
[17:14] <Slart> Tharok: sure.. rsync comes to mind for the backend.. and a web gui on top of that
[17:14] <Apache_33> good afterwards  ladies and gentleman
[17:14] <deostroll> slart: suppose if my downloading got interrupted, how can i resume it the next day (for e.g.) [not very particular with gwget tho]
[17:14] <Slart> deostroll: ask the channel.. not me
[17:15] <unixp> what can i do if i want to mount an iso file an it comes:  CD-ROM is NOT in ISO 9660 format
[17:15] <Guest63681> anybody know how to install a cdrw in ubuntu??????? i'm really stuck please help!!!
[17:15] <lullabud> deostroll: gwget has a resume feature.  use it.  if your download gets cancelled, use it again and it will resume from the partial file.
[17:15] <om26er> !repeat | Guest6309
[17:15] <Slart> unixp: not really sure if ubuntu can handle it if it isn't a proper iso file
[17:16] <deostroll> is it true that wget has a pause and resume downloading feature?
[17:16] <arathald> bitsmart: that looks fine, assuming your uuid is correct
[17:16] <Slart> unixp: what is it? some windows game?
[17:16] <lullabud> deostroll: gwget also has a retry option (the --tries= flag) that will make it retry if the download gets canceled before completion.
[17:16] <arathald> s/Guest6309/Guest63681/g
[17:16] <Tharok> Slart , I think I forgot to mention I'd like it to be possible to run under windows as well (one of the top benefits of dropbox) and I could skip the webgui aswell
[17:16] <bitsmart> arathald ok thanks, do I have to use UUID? or can I just do /dev/sda5 swap etc?
[17:17] <lullabud> <3 dropbox
[17:17] <unixp> Slart, yes
[17:17] <unixp> Slart, warcraft 3 exe
[17:17] <arathald> bitsmart: you could so /dev/sda5 if its not going to be changing, whenever i write an fstab from scratch, i use /dev/sdX#
[17:17] <unixp> Slart, cause lost my cd
[17:17] <arathald> s/cause/because/
[17:17] <yolinda> olaaa
[17:17] <Slart> Tharok: if you ask me what makes drop box so neat it isn't the storage space or the web gui.. but the clients that are available for it.. those are what I'm paying for.. those might be harder to implement (but not impossible if you really try)
[17:18] <Guest63681> what i stupid chatroom...nobody that can help....
[17:18] <bitsmart> arathald ok, thanks.
[17:18] <bitsmart> quit
[17:18] <blocky> is there a separate channel for netbook remix?
[17:18] <ZykoticK9> blocky, nope, just here
[17:18] <deostroll> Forget gwget. I want to know if wget (the command line version) supports the pause and resume download feature...?
[17:18] <lullabud> deostroll: wget -r --tries=0
[17:18] <blocky> can I install ubuntu on any netbook?
[17:18] <Slart> Guest63681: just to answer you.. you do not install a cdrw.. cdrw is a format.. you could call the physical disc a cdrw but that still doesn't make your question make sense.. try again
[17:19] <arathald> Guest63681: not a chatroom, there are other resources available, and we're all here on a volunteer basis and helping people for free, so don't complain that you don't get something you're not inherently entitled to
 can i marry queen of england?
[17:19] <Slart> unixp: are you sure it's a proper iso file? did you create it yourself? drm might interfere with this
[17:19] <lullabud> deostroll: the man page for wget is great.  you should read it
[17:19] <deostroll> lullabud: suppose if my download got interrupted over the night, how do i try to resume the download next morning with wget?
[17:19] <lullabud> deostroll: it gives examples of ways to do all sorts of things.
[17:19] <blocky> Apache_33?
[17:20] <Guest63681> just want to make ubuntu recognize my asus cdwriter 5224a in brasero to write an image
[17:20] <lullabud> deostroll: i just told you... wget -r --tries=0
[17:20] <unixp> Slart, nope dont created myself.  drm how?
[17:20] <Slart> blocky: you can try installing it on any netbook.. some might have problems with the hardware and so on.. but you can always try
[17:20] <Tharok> Your right Slart, it's a great service. I'll see how long it takes for me to fill 2GB, I might aswell support the great project. :)
[17:20] <Guest9408> wanted to stop back by and say thanks again for helping me get my wifi workin guys!
[17:20] <deostroll> lullabud: k will check docs...
[17:21] <Slart> Tharok: if you write a client that does the same but with local storage I will gladly send you the money instead of dropbox =)
[17:21] <arathald> Guest63681: well, if I had any experience with that, i might help, but I don't so asking a million times won't help you get an answer from me... I'm sure that's probably the case for other people too... while you're waiting, maybe google the device and figure it out yourself
[17:21] <Slart> unixp: some drm rely on weird disc formats.. bad sectors and whatnot
[17:22] <Guest63681> tried google but doesn't giveme good enough results..mostly in foreign languages too...
[17:22] <juan__> hellooo......................................
[17:22] <Guest63681> in didnt want to be mean...but i just want it to work for 5 days now and no succes...
[17:22] <juan__> who knows well LKL?
[17:22] <rautamiekka> What difference does it make if the "bs" parameter with the "dd" software is other than "1M" ?
[17:23] <Slart> rautamiekka: it usually increases speed.. it does larger chunks at a time
[17:23] <vladi> does anyone use conky?
[17:23] <vladi> i need help please
[17:23] <Slart> !anyone | vladi
[17:23] <vladi> ;)
[17:23] <Slart> rautamiekka: if you use values larger than 1M, that is
[17:24] <vladi> ubottu got up on the wrong foot? ;)
[17:24] <rautamiekka> Slart: Which means that I can increase it as long as I maintain sense with not making the number like 100 ?
[17:24] <shafi> does anyone know how to disable data recovery from an external device?
[17:24] <ch0ks> Hi everyone! Is there a way that I can give a directory or file 2 groups and permissions for those groups?
[17:24] <arathald> disable data recovery?
[17:25] <vladi> ;)
[17:25] <ch0ks> shafi You can encrypt the file. What exactly are you trying?
[17:25] <Slart> vladi: nope.. but if everyone started with "does anyone here use a computer?" "does anyone use ubuntu?" "does anyone use conky?" we wouldn't get much work done.. so start by asking "I use conky.. I'm having a problem with this feature." or "I use conky and I want to use colored text" it will be much faster
[17:25] <arathald> does anyone here want to answer a vague, indirect question?
[17:25] <_philip_> how can i start gdebi
[17:25] <_philip_> ?
[17:26] <Slart> rautamiekka: afaik yes.. if you're filling a harddrive with zero's for example, you might as well use larger values
[17:26] <Krahazik> sudo didn't work
[17:26] <xfact> Which is batter media player Rhythmbox or Amarok?
[17:26] <arathald> Krahazik: what are you trying to do?
[17:26] <trism> _philip_: the gui version is gdebi-gtk, or you can just do sudo gdebi your_package.deb
[17:26] <rsk> xfact well pick the one you like
[17:26] <Slart> xfact: the one you like more, of course
[17:26] <Slart> !best | xfact
[17:26] <genii> arathald: Hard to say, until the question has been asked
[17:26] <Krahazik> install my motherboard drivers but it has to be run under root
[17:26] <Krahazik> but i can't log into root
[17:26] <ch0ks> xfact I prefer Rhythmbox but Amarok has a lot of more features...
[17:27] <shafi> ch0ks, I just deleted some files from a usb hardisk, but they could be recovered very easily, some how I wanna delete them permanently
[17:27] <Krahazik> and don't know how to activate it
[17:27] <Oasa> I have a *.iso image. I would like to boot this image how ?
[17:27] <arathald> Krahazik: what command are you running that sudo doesn't work for?
[17:27] <rautamiekka> Slart: Okey. I'm now using dd to fill SSD with zeroes in 2M chunks. To this day it took about 2-3 minutes with 1M.
[17:27] <Slart> Krahazik: you don't have to login as root to install motherboard drivers.. you can get a root terminal by running "sudo -i"
[17:27] <arathald> genii: i was being faceitous
[17:27] <Krahazik> ???
[17:27] <rocket16> Oasa: You need to burn it to CD first
[17:27] <xfact> Ch0ks, thanks, that what I needed, an opinion

[17:27] <rautamiekka> Slart: (CONTINUING) A 16GB SSD, that is
[17:27] <om26er> woho
[17:27] <rocket16> OAsa: Blank CD
[17:27] <Krahazik> didn't work
[17:27] <Oasa> ricket16 : My drive doesnt work
[17:28] <arathald> Krahazik: would you like to answer my question at any point?
[17:28] <Krahazik> did the 2nd time
[17:28] <Tharok> Slart , Im not sure I like dropbox anymore. It just made me really really hungry on snickers. And Im on a diet
[17:28] <Krahazik> this would be so much easier if i could just log into the gui as root
[17:28] <terry_> Guest63681: Are you sure it is not being recognized?
[17:28] <Slart> rautamiekka: I doubt it will make a big difference if you use 64MB or 1MB block sizes.. but for a TB drive it might be better to use 64M.. at least compared to 1K
[17:28] <Krahazik> what was that arathald im sorry i missed it
[17:28] <Slart> Tharok: =)
[17:28] <ch0ks> shafi Install the secure-delete package and use the sfill for wiping blank space data
[17:29] <arathald> Krahazik: (1) i told you how, if you werent paying attention, thats your fault, (2) what command are you trying to run that sudo doesn't work with?
[17:29] <shafi> ch0ks, tnx, I also found this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/tools-to-delete-files-securely-in-ubuntu-linux.html
[17:29] <Slart> Krahazik: logging in to the gui as root is very bad.. for the same reasons that you don't juggle with axes unless you really really really have to
[17:29] <ch0ks> yep, that one can work too. Have fun!
[17:29] <terry_> Guest63681: dmesg |grep cd
[17:29] <terry_> Oh, he's gone... oh well.
[17:29] <Krahazik> sudo and the name of the driver package
[17:30] <ch0ks> So any idea how can I give two groups to a file or directory? plllzzzzz
[17:30] <Slart> ch0ks: I don't think you can do that
[17:30] <Krahazik> some one said use sudo to run the package under root
[17:30] <arathald> Krahazik: tell me the exact command youre running
[17:30] <arathald> Krahazik: being vague will not help us or you
[17:30] <Slart> ch0ks: there are some other security packages that provide more granularity when it comes to permissions.. SELinux and such might be worth looking into
[17:30] <urlwallace> Im using ubuntu 9.1.0 and experiencing infrequent OS freeze ups. is there a common solutiion I canapply. Thank you
[17:30] <Krahazik> ok
[17:31] <arathald> Krahazik: ill be back in 5 minutes, ive gotta walk to class
[17:31] <Krahazik> sudo NFORCE-Linux-x86-1[1].0-0311-pkg1.run
[17:31] <terry_> urlwallace: Can you ssh in from another PC?
[17:31] <arathald> Krahazik: hold that thought for a second, i think i know whats wrong
[17:31] <arathald> be back in a few
[17:31] <Slart> urlwallace: since you're being vague about when the lockups happen we can only give vague advice back.. keep your computer cold.. ie make sure fans are not clogged and so on.. use good memory and check it every now and then.. keep your system updated..
[17:31] <urlwallace> terry_no I havnt
[17:32] <terry_> urlwallace: As Slart suggests, many system lock-ups are due to overheating.
[17:32] <epaphus2> Hello is it possible to hide the System menu for unpriviledged users?
[17:32] <Slart> urlwallace: unfortunately software isn't perfect.. so even if you do all the above there might still be bugs around to make the computer crash
[17:33] <terry_> urlwallace: Is Ubuntu fully updated?
[17:33] <Oasa> I have a *.iso image. I would like to boot this image how ? my drive doesnt work so burning to a cd doesnt work :(
[17:33] <Oasa> I have a *.iso image. I would like to boot this image how ? my drive doesnt work so burning to a cd doesnt work :( please please help me
[17:33] <urlwallace> thank you slart  I will do that I read the recent advice to others on not being specific enough and will try to do so in future (sincerely) thank you again for a great forum
[17:33] <terry_> urlwallace: Is there a certain amount of time before it locks?  (There are a number of things to check.)
[17:33] <Krahazik> ok i have the root terminal window open but now im not sure how to run the file
[17:33] <urlwallace> yes terry_ updated
[17:34] <urlwallace> about every 5 mins mainly when using flash
[17:34] <Slart> urlwallace: you're welcome.. hope you find out what's crashing your computer
[17:34] <sine``> where are default programs installed on linux
[17:34] <terry_> urlwallace: We don't know the age of the PC but might also be a good idea to re-grease the processor.
[17:34] <urlwallace> thank you slart
[17:34] <eremite> sine``,  usually you can find most of them in /usr/bin/
[17:34] <sine``> ok ta
[17:34] <Slart> sine``: all over the place
[17:34] <Salec> hey guys! I finally made the switch from gentoo to ubuntu :D
[17:35] <Krahazik> logging into root would be so much easier, then i could just double click the file and be done with it, i hope
[17:35] <urlwallace> its 2 year old HP 9000 laptop(the one where the nvidea overheats had been fixed)
[17:35] <sine``> i mean comming from windows i know where everything is on windows /program files/   /system/ /system32/ etc for the dlls but comming to linux has put me in the dark with the directorys that i see /etc/ /var/ /usr/ etc
[17:35] <Salec> does ubuntu not have a root account?
[17:35] <Krahazik> im switching from windows to linux
[17:35] <Salec> really confusing
[17:35] <badbandit> good for you
[17:35] <Krahazik> it has a root but I can't log into it
[17:36] <Slart> !root | Salec
[17:36] <badbandit> su -
[17:36] <Salec> ah
[17:36] <psusi> rautamiekka: why are you writing to the whole drive?  you will fill it up and make it slow down doing that
[17:36] <terry_> Salec: sudo is your friend.  :)
[17:36] <Krahazik> but how do i use it
[17:36] <Salec> i'm so not used to sudo..gentoo just had root :D
[17:36] <Krahazik> every time I try to run the file from the temrinal I get command not found
[17:37] <Salec> what's a good ftp server for ubuntu?
[17:37] <Slart> Salec: the root account is still there.. it just hasn't got a password set for it.. sudo is better in so many ways
[17:37] <terry_> Salec: "variety is the spice of life"
[17:37] <urlwallace> teery_ I am using a under the pc cooling fan riser. I will take it have the chip redone and cleaned..still under a 3rd party warranty..again thak you I didnt think of the alternative solutions from you and slark
[17:37] <Slart> !ftpd | Salec
[17:37] <eremite> Salec, if you are needed to be root for more than just one or two commands, you can try sudo -s
[17:37] <Krahazik> I set a password for root but still can't login
[17:37] <urlwallace> sorry terry_ spel error
[17:37] <Slart> Krahazik: make sure you use proper case.. linux is caSE seNsiTive
[17:38] <Krahazik> i treat everything as case sensitive
[17:38] <Slart> !supportroot
[17:38] <Salec> so to install (sorry new to apt) I would do "sudo apt-get install pure-ftpd"
[17:38] <Salec> ?
[17:38] <arathald> Krahazik: ok, the problem is that you need to type ./ before the script name
[17:38] <eremite> Salec, exactly.
[17:38] <Krahazik> oh
[17:38] <Salec> mmmm
[17:39] <sine``> whats are the files with .file
[17:39] <arathald> Krahazik: nothing to do with using sudo or root, you're just running the commands wrong
[17:39] <Krahazik> maybe I should rename it so the name is shorter?
[17:39] <arathald> sine``: hidden files
[17:39] <sine``> ok
[17:39] <arathald> Krahazik: there's also tab-completion in bash
[17:39] <psusi> sine``: you might want to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[17:39] <gaspard> what are the advantages / disadvantages of running proftpd from inet or as standalone ?
[17:39] <Krahazik> all i know is when I right clicked the file and selected run in terminal it said it ha dot be run under root
[17:39] <sine``> ok will do
[17:39] <arathald> Krahazik: type ./ then the first few letters, then hit tab
[17:40] <elijah> About 18-24ish months ago when I first started with Ubuntu this channel had < 1,000 users on avg. We are now nearing 1,500!!!
[17:40] <Krahazik> no such file or directory
[17:40] <Krahazik> command not found
[17:40] <Krahazik> oh oops forgot to hit tab
[17:41] <Jordan_U> Krahazik: What motherboard drivers? What isn't working currently?
[17:41] <psusi> gaspard: running it from inet requires that you have inetd installed and running... this slows down the process of accepting connections a bit because it doesn't start the ftp server until someone actually connects, but while nobody is connected, the ftp server shuts down, which can save some resources
[17:41] <Krahazik> ASUS M2N-SLI
[17:41] <gaspard> thnx psusi
[17:41] <Krahazik> now its running
[17:42] <psusi> gaspard: imho, inetd is an ancient depreciated program that nobody bothers using anymore and nobody should
[17:42] <gaspard> lol, thnx for the feedback
[17:42] <gaspard> i won't use inetd.
[17:43] <Jordan_U> Krahazik: What isn't working currently?
[17:43] <psusi> gaspard: it's main purpose was to allow you to have a dozen different servers available, but not have to have them all loaded into memory at once, which was important on systems with only 64k of ram and before swap existed, but not really meaningful these days ;)
[17:43] <Krahazik> well arathald's advice got the installer running thanks
[17:43] <Jordan_U> Krahazik: As in, why do you think you need to install any drivers in the first place?
[17:43] <gaspard> sure
[17:43] <unixp> how can i easily delete a RW DVD?
[17:43] <Krahazik> but then the kernals for my audio and netwrork drivers failed
[17:43] <minick> hello
[17:44] <dejan_> hello guys... I wonder if you can help me with this: I installed linux-backport from synaptic...and now some hardware simply doesn't work.. wireless is gone . and also the sound card
[17:44] <psusi> unixp: delete the disc?  break it in half?
[17:44] <Krahazik> I have no internet connection on the linux computer
[17:44] <gaspard> psusi: the main usage of my server will be ftpd and afpd with 2 Go RAM, so it's far enough
[17:44] <unixp> psusi, no virtual
[17:44] <unixp> psusi, xD
[17:45] <Jordan_U> Krahazik: Installing "motherboard drivers" isn't likely to fix that and may cause problems.
[17:45] <Jordan_U> Krahazik: Do you connect via wireless or ethernet?
[17:45] <psusi> unixp: you mean you want to erase the disc?
[17:45] <unixp> psusi, yeah :)
[17:45] <sine``> how can i search for a folder
[17:45] <sine``> cat ?
[17:45] <psusi> unixp: right click on it and choose erase
[17:46] <Krahazik> ethernet
[17:46] <Krahazik> onboard
[17:46] <sine``> ill google tbh
[17:46] <Krahazik> the wireless card is in the mahcine im using to chat with you
[17:46] <unixp> psusi,  k think dvd rom is to old
[17:46] <Jordan_U> Krahazik: Ok, are you using DHCP or a static ip address?
[17:46] <Krahazik> only have 1 wireless card
[17:46] <Krahazik> DHCP
[17:46] <Krahazik> from the router
[17:47] <Jordan_U> Krahazik: Can you try running "sudo ifconfig eth0 up && sudo dhclient eth0" in a terminal?

[17:58] <SealedWithAKiss> Jordan_U, thank you. What's the command issued for a password change?
[17:58] <LecToo> Q: I cant find any good reference to this, hoping someone might know something.  In my backuppc log, I am getting the error:  Wide Character in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/Compress/Zlib.pm line 426 - it has been running fine but is now getting this error on clients it has backed up and new clients to back up.  Anyone have some ideas where to start troubleshooting this?

[17:59] <Salec> is "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" the only command line I need to update all my apps and system?
[17:59] <mhall119|work> Salec: to upgrade to a new release of Ubuntu, use update-manager
[18:00] <Salec> ah
[18:00] <Jordan_U> Krahazik: try "lspci > ~/Desktop/hardware_info.txt"
[18:01] <Krahazik> No such file or directory
[18:01] <Jordan_U> Krahazik: Are you running as root?
[18:02] <Jordan_U> Krahazik: Because you should *not* be.
[18:02] <^Willie^> hi there
[18:02] <Krahazik> I was in a root terminal to try and run the driver installer
[18:02] <^Willie^> why do xul dev stuff need to uninstall mozilla-firefox ?
[18:03] <Jordan_U> Krahazik: Never run a command as root unless you are absolutely sure it is neccisary and safe.
[18:03] <Jordan_U> Krahazik: The command I gave should run fine as your normal user.
[18:03] <Krahazik> ok appeared to work
[18:03] <Krahazik> now I have a new file named hardware_info.txt on my user desktop
[18:04] <Wackler1> Due to a sound problem I think, i killed my system... Is there a way to just reinstall Ubuntu... without touching my data... and I don't care about my apps or so...
[18:04] <Madwill> !boot
[18:04] <Jordan_U> Krahazik: Yes, move that file to your windows machine so that you can upload it to pastebin.
[18:04] <VCoolio> ^Willie^: maybe because it uninstalls current stable xulrunner which is a dependancy for firefox?
[18:04] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | Krahazik
[18:04] <Krahazik> ok one moment
[18:04] <^Willie^> VCoolio: ok so where is the package that give me the option to embed gecko in my mono projects ?
[18:05] <magicjoe> can someone help me get the right core package?
[18:05] <magicjoe> i have 2.0.9 and synaptic show i have 2.1.4 plugins, but doesn't list the core
[18:05] <Krahazik> where is pastebin?
[18:05] <magicjoe> says it depends on core
[18:05] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | Krahazik
[18:05] <VCoolio> ^Willie^: I have no ideas on that; I avoid mono; libgluezilla comes close in its description
[18:05] <Wackler1> magicjoe I think you have to be more price

[18:07] <magicjoe> im looking in synaptic right now. i want to install cairo-dock 2.1.4 alpha
[18:07] <epaphus2> Hello all. Iam interested in purchasing a  iam interested in purchasing a The board supports the INtel MoBo DQ45CB . it says it  HAS raid1 support... does anybody know if this is compatible with ubuntu? the ubuntu installer will see only 1 hard disk right? i dont have to do abything in ubuntu ?
[18:07] <Krahazik> done
[18:08] <Pici> magicjoe: Why would you expect the alpha to be in our repositories?
[18:08] <dominik_> how do i regenerate my xorg.conf?
[18:08] <magicjoe> i don't know? why is that a stupid question?
[18:08] <Ganymede> hey...i am interested in setting up wakeonlan so i installed the package wakeonlan but how can i tell which network interface the wakeonlan packet is being sent out on? there was no option in the man page to send out WOL packets on a specific interface...
[18:09] <Semitones> dominik_, you can save a copy as a backup (such as xorg.conf.bak) and then delete the original xorg.conf. When you reboot, ubuntu will generate a fresh one
[18:09] <magicjoe> i got cairo-dock from glx.org
[18:09] <dominik_> Semitones: oh, i didn't know that. that's nice.
[18:09] <masu3701> is there any tool that allow calling international for free?
[18:09] <dominik_> Semitones: off to test.
[18:09] <Semitones> dominik_, good luck
[18:09] <magicjoe> someone HERE helped me get that repository in synaptic
[18:09] <magicjoe> now, i see updates, but can't get them
[18:10] <Pici> magicjoe:  Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports.
[18:10] <wasutton3> does transmission-daemon run as root?
[18:11] <Jordan_U> wasutton3: No.
[18:11] <Pici> wasutton3: iirc it creates its own user to run the daemon as, but don't quote me on that.
[18:11] <agu8> hola
[18:11] <magicjoe> i dont get it. i just want to know why there is an update showing, if i can't get it? and isn't it only showing updates for things i HAVE?

[18:25] <CalmvsKhaos> !ops | auxi reminded over and over about !ubuntu-es
[18:26] <Krahazik> dhcp
[18:26] <Jordan_U> Krahazik: My guess is that the ip conflict was your original problem and installing the "motherboard drivers" caused the problem of the device not being listed at all in ifconfig.
[18:26] <Lazy^> do you have free ip's in dhcp-pool ?
[18:26] <Krahazik> yes
[18:26] <Aayush> Semitones: same error
[18:27] <Semitones> Aayush, to which command?
[18:27] <Krahazik> with windows the only time i have ever goten ip conflict is if the newcompute rbooting up didn't get its IP from the router like it is saposed to
[18:27] <Aayush> Semitones: sudo aptitude clean, update
[18:27] <Lazy^> Krahazik: try to dhclient
[18:27] <Krahazik> sounds about right to me Jordan about the drivers killing the card
[18:27] <Lazy^> Krahazik: try dhclient :)
[18:27] <lorenzo> #ubuntu-it-chat
[18:28] <terry_> Krahazik: A linux machine will give up in there is a conflict
[18:28] <Krahazik> permission denied
[18:28] <Jordan_U> Krahazik: "sudo dhclient eth0"
[18:28] <Semitones> Aayush, could you post the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.lst so we could see if there are any problems there?
[18:29] <Krahazik> ok that worked
[18:29] <Krahazik> ok my linux mahcine is on the network via my windows machine

[18:31] <Semitones> Aayush, sorry, it should be sources.list

[18:34] <Aayush> Semitones: it just starts recently

[18:38] <coolmadmax> whatever
[18:38] <ps2> thanks
[18:39] <alecs> hi
[18:39] <erUSUL> klaas: it probably appears in kernl-parameters.txt in the kernel source. use google to find a copy

[18:39] <sanreikaj> muchas gracias
[18:39] <Krahazik> depite being able to ping the router
[18:39] <alecs> i have an external ntfs disk that seems to be broken ...
[18:39] <zenbamboo> ...
[18:39] <terry_> Krahazik: If you can tell us what the pool the DHCP server is using and your nameserver addresses, we can help you.  BUT, the easiest thing to do is turn on the dhcp server on the XP box.
[18:39] <Jordan_U> klaas: What are you trying to accomplish?
[18:39] <Vroomfondle> klaas: see http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_toc.html#TOC17 for an example of how to set kernel params in grub
[18:40] <Jordan_U> terry_: *client*
[18:40] <alecs> how can i check if it is or not ? it seems that i am not be able to run fsck
[18:40] <Krahazik> don't have DHCP on the xp box and so far its been my expierecne that its not wise to have 2 DHCPs on a network
[18:40] <Jordan_U> terry_: A DHCP server serves addresses, a DHCP client recieves them.
[18:40] <Vroomfondle> you'll need to get to the grub prompt first (there should be a message on screen at boot telling you how)
[18:40] <Vroomfondle> you can make the change permanent by editing your grub menu.lst
[18:40] <terry_> Krahazik: There are three things you need.  1) An IP   2) Default route  and 3) nameservers
[18:41] <klaas> Jordan_U I'm trying to remotely unlock a luks encrypted root
[18:41] <terry_> Krahazik: sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1
[18:41] <hudy> hi
[18:41] <Akymos> hi 2 all...
[18:41] <terry_> sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf
[18:41] <hudy> i'm have problem
[18:42] <Trek> !ask | hudy
[18:42] <Krahazik> No such process
[18:42] <terry_> Krahazik:  See private message.
[18:43] <Jordan_U> terry_: Changing the default route won't help with an ip address conflict.
[18:43] <dinobisk> After installing from the live-CD (whicht worked fine), I now get an BusyBox (and initrmfs) error when booting (from the hard drive). How can this be fixed?
[18:43] <terry_> Krahazik: It is correct that you can not have to dhcp servers on the same network, but if you create another, it is ok.
[18:43] <Jordan_U> terry_: Nor will editing /etc/resolv.conf
[18:44] <Aayush> Jordan_U:  http://pastebin.com/4S3bDxhg, same problem
[18:44] <LecToo> terry_: in general, you cannot have 2 dhcp servers on the same subnet
[18:44] <Elvanor> how can I connect via ssh to a ubuntu live CD ? which user should I choose?
[18:45] <killown> my system will have a bad performance if i use a ntfs partition in /home?
[18:45] <meganerd> Elvanor: ubuntu
[18:45] <Semitones> Jordan_U, I found a possible solution to Aayush's problem, but I'm not sure the command is safe. Would this be ok: sudo rm -vf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
[18:45] <meganerd> Elvanor: unless you add a user
[18:45] <Trek> Jordan_U, terry_: killown: don't use NTFS for your home partition
[18:45] <Trek> whoops
[18:45] <Jordan_U> Elvanor: You first need to set a password for the "ubuntu" user then install openssh-server
[18:45] <robertzaccour> How do i get wireless working in LXDE? it worked fine in Gnome
[18:45] <Trek> Jordan_U and terry_: disregard
[18:45] <killown> Trek, why?
[18:45] <Andorin> Is there any way to get a Sony camcorder to mount in Ubuntu like a digital camera, so I can access the files on it with Nautilus?
[18:46] <Trek> killown: don't use NTFS for your home partition, unless you need it to work with windows.  it might run into issues when loading
[18:46] <Jordan_U> Semitones: The command I gave him earlier should have the same effect ( it moved the directory rather than deleting its contents )..
[18:46] <LecToo> Andorin: probably mostly depends on the model
[18:46] <Aayush> when i tried to install & remove any package i get this message "E: Read error - read (5: Input/output error) E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. " how to fix
[18:46] <killown> Trek i need share this partition with windows
[18:46] <Semitones> Jordan_U, oh, I missed that
[18:46] <Trek> killown: assuming you have the ntfs-related packages, you shouldn't have any real issues, but if you need Windows to work with it, then NTFS or FAT32
[18:46] <Trek> killown: up to you though
[18:46] <Semitones> Jordan_U, maybe his permissions are wrong?
[18:47] <bernz> w00t, it shouldn't have taken me that long, but i figured out how to get a samba share listed in fstab so it will be accessible through standard paths on boot :-D (if you are curious, i will be happy to post the line i added to my fstab, and to explain what i had to install)
[18:47] <killown> Trek, ntfs take more processor load than others linux filesystems?
[18:47] <Jordan_U> Aayush: Is this a fairly standard Ubuntu install?
[18:47] <Trek> killown: FAT32 is guaranteed to work on everything, all operating systems can read it
[18:47] <Trek> killown: how large a partition you making for home?
[18:48] <killown> 40gb
[18:48] <arathald> i would say ntfs would probably be ok for home, as long as your / is something quick
[18:48] <Ders> Can I install Ubuntu server on a Mac Mini Intel?
[18:48] <LecToo> killown: honestly, id mount the NTFS partition inside your home directory
[18:48] <Jordan_U> Ders: Yes
[18:48] <bernz> FAT32 owns... for compatibility :-D
[18:48] <Ders> :)
[18:48] <arathald> bernz: and sucks for just about everything else
[18:48] <Ders> Sweet thanks!
[18:49] <bernz> arathald, right you are! :-D
[18:49] <Trek> killown: you might consider using NTFS.  but remember that NTFS has a large overhead requirement, and it will take up a bit of space.  so either FAT32 or NTFS.  FAT32 for guaranteed compatibility, NTFS if you wish for it to work with Windows and Linux only
[18:49] <bernz> arathald, getting the samba shares into my fstab was easier than i thought; i just had to find the syntax for samba-style (smbfs) file systems
[18:49] <LecToo> Ders: I have multiple ubuntu servers running in virtualbox on a macmini =)
[18:49] <killown> yep, i have windows 7 installed here
[18:49] <killown> i need ntfs partition
[18:49] <arathald> bernz: the way linux handles file systems, it's not very hard to do
[18:49] <Prestidigitonium> can someone help me move /home and /tmp from my sd card to my hdd?
[18:50] <Jordan_U> !home | Prestidigitonium
[18:50] <bernz> (also, i fixed a PS3 in the meantime, to give my brain a rest; it's currently playing a movie ... today has been productive :-D)
[18:50] <Aayush> Jordan_U: ya, i have been in this problem some month before also, at that time someone here told me to do "dpkg .. " , remove some files, ... i forget all that now :)
[18:50] <deletet> hy i have aploblem i dont  have instaled send mail  but stel sendmail runs  whi?
[18:50] <magedragon25> I am assuming this would be a good channel to ask this....I am trying to back up my daughters dvd's.....I ripped them to .iso with brasero.....I tried to burn them with brasero and k3b.....neither one came out good.....yes I put them on the proper size dvd
[18:51] <bernz> arathald, agreed, though it's a steep learning curve for the details (like fstab syntax, and so on)... well... IMO, anyway
[18:51] <LecToo> magedragon25: movie DVDs?
[18:51] <magedragon25> yeah
[18:51] <Jordan_U> magedragon25: Please Elaborate on "neither one came out good".
[18:51] <LecToo> magedragon25: I dont htink that works; might have to use something like vobcopy
[18:51] <killown> Trek, but i need know if ntfs-3g takes very processor load
[18:51] <robertzaccour> does anyone here know anything about LXDE?
[18:51] <magedragon25> I tried to use it in a dvd player and also on my pc and neither one woould play
[18:52] <Prestidigitonium> jordan_u: i already read that and it doesnt make sense
[18:52] <robertzaccour> all i need is to get my wireless running, and it was fine in gnome
[18:52] <Prestidigitonium> is there any way to do this graphically?
[18:52] <Jordan_U> Prestidigitonium: Doesn't make sense in what way?
[18:52] <Trek> killown: its not typically processor load, rather hard drive usage.  If you set a 40GB NTFS partition, you'll only get maybe 30 - 39 GBs of usable space, since NTFS has a large file indexer
[18:52] <Vigo> robertzaccour: I have played with it a little.
[18:52] <Prestidigitonium> i.e. a gui based solution
[18:53] <robertzaccour> Vigo, do you know how to get wireless working?
[18:53] <killown> ahh ok
[18:53] <Trek> killown: personally, I use Ubuntu to work with NTFS drives in order to recover data, check for errors, etc, and there's no real processor load
[18:53] <Prestidigitonium> sort of how rapache is for apache
[18:53] <Vigo> robertzacour: That was and is an issue , I think it is fixed now, let me try and find that data for you.
[18:53] <Jordan_U> Prestidigitonium: As far as I am aware there is no safe way to do this graphically ( you can set it up graphically during install but moving it afterwards I believe must be done with at least a few terminal commands )
[18:54] <robertzaccour> Vigo, oh ok. can't figure it out so far thanks
[18:54] <xXPoorMexicanXx> yo
[18:55] <Aayush> when i tried to install & remove any package i get this message "E: Read error - read (5: Input/output error) E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. " how to fix
[18:55] <xXPoorMexicanXx> does anybody know if the palm web os sdk can run on 9.10
[18:55] <Vigo> robertzaccour: Here is an Ubuntu Forum page on it, I do recall a wicd thing, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1144398
[18:55] <Prestidigitonium> Jordan_U: i dont understand all these mount points and stuff. im trying to move ALL dirs rhat require rw access to the hdd and then lock the fs on the sd card
[18:55] <robertzaccour> Vigo, thanks i'll check that out
[18:56] <abstrakt> how can i turn off GNOME tooltips?
[18:56] <abstrakt> this is *really* pissing me off lol
[18:56] <killown> Trek, thank you
[18:56] <Trek> no problem, killown
[18:56] <magedragon25> Jordan_U: I tried to use it in a dvd player and also on my pc and neither one woould play
[18:56] <Zus> sorry connection went out was there a reply to my question?
[18:56] <Trek> killown: remember: the drives I work with are 250GB +, and they usualy have about 100GB - 150GB on NTFS partitions
[18:56] <kaolbrec> Hey guys, which is the folder for installing icons again?
[18:57] <Stargaze> abstrakt, try gconf-editor => /apps/panel/global/tooltips_enabled
[18:57] <djanowski> hello all. does anybody know what package provides `rs`?
[18:57] <killown> hmm
[18:57] <Trek> killown: it works becuase there's so much space that the NTFS overhead that stores where things are on the partition has sufficient space to work
[18:57] <Vigo> robertzaccour: and here is a SOLVED post on the LXDE forums: http://forum.lxde.org/viewforum.php?f=6
[18:57] <robertzaccour> Vigo, thanks
[18:58] <Zus> anyone know why or how dvd's won't play after an update? i used a live disc to peek at Kubuntu, then  after ejecting the disc and shutting down, i went out for a bit came back to watch a new dvd,, wouldnt play... updated and everything still cant do videos (DVD's )
[18:58] <keithz> Is plone3/plone3-site broken in ubuntu 9.10? I get the error: plone3-site:
[18:58] <keithz>  Depends: zope-plone3 but it is not going to be installed
[18:58] <keithz>  Depends: zope2.10 but it is not going to be installed
[18:58] <Trek> killown: I have made NTFS work on 40GB partitions as well, but you lose a bit of space due to the NTFS overhead, as such, its up to you, you'll still have approx. 35GB give or take 2GB usable
[18:58] <keithz> Does a workaround exist?
[18:58] <Jordan_U> magedragon25: Was the DVD you copied commercial ( i.e. likely to have copy protection )?
[18:58] <Aayush> when i tried to install & remove any package i get this message "E: Read error - read (5: Input/output error) E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. " how to fix
[18:59] <Prestidigitonium> hmm. thx
[18:59] <magedragon25> Jordan_U: yes...but the .iso plays just fine on my pc
[18:59] <thevor> Hey. I have a question about my dvddrive. When I put a game dvd into the slot, I can view it in two different folders. The contents of the dvd are viewable in /media/cdrom, and /media/cdrom0. I am wondering why this is. The reason I am asking, is because I am having trouble installing something, and am wondering if maybe the program I am using can't find the dvd, because of these two mount points.
[18:59] <Vigo> robertzaccour: You are welcome, and I do recall peoples using it talking about that wicd config, I used it on Debian and Ubuntu and PC-BSD, is still a bit iffish, but work is going good on it.
[18:59] <killown> 35gb is enough for me
[18:59] <LecToo> magedragon25: your PC dvd software can treat it like reading off a filesystem
[19:00] <Jordan_U> magedragon25: That's because the only way to play a DVD in linux is to circumvent the copy protection, so Ubuntu's player doesn't care that the key is missing from the copied image :)
[19:00] <vasilis01> http://vasilisgreece.blogspot.com/
[19:00] <Jordan_U> magedragon25: It will probably work from VLC on windows also.
[19:00] <LecToo> magedragon25: get vobcopy and make an image of that
[19:00] <magedragon25> ok
[19:00] <LecToo> magedragon25: err, of its output
[19:00] <killown> brb
[19:01] <LecToo> magedragon25: it might do it directly - man it up ;p
[19:01] <Jordan_U> magedragon25: If so, what you need to do is make an image that already has the copy protection removed.
[19:01] <arzonista> hi,how can i add buddies in pidgin instant messenger?

[19:03] <neotrix> Кто подскажет как поднять ad-hoc?
[19:03] <Jordan_U> !ru | neotrix
[19:03] <oneunknown> Hi! I'd like to change the screen resolution of GRUB. I've edited  /etc/grub.d  and set gfxmode, gfxpayload and gfxterm and vbe. Then I ran update-grub, but nothing has changed (rebooted)
[19:03] <neotrix> sorry)
[19:04] <oneunknown> Any Ideas on what I did wrong there?
[19:04] <Jordan_U> oneunknown: Do you want to change the resolution of the grub menu itself or of the linux console?
[19:04] <Aayush> when i tried to install & remove any package i get this message "E: Read error - read (5: Input/output error) E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. " how to fix
[19:04] <ismetteren> My ubuntu installation has just started to fuck up today. Parts, or the whole, screen (the buttons, i can move the mouse but clicking dosent have an effect) freezes from time to time. Right now the only thing i can do is change window and write here. Anybody knows what this is?
[19:04] <Trek> !language | ismetteren
[19:04] <musicalmidget> arzonista: what happens?
[19:05] <ismetteren> sorry
[19:05] <oneunknown> Jordan_U, the linux console (I've seen higher screen resolution on a friends computer (Gentoo))
[19:05] <arvind_khadri> ismetteren, 9.10 ?
[19:05] <Stargaze> Aayush, try Synaptic and click Edit > repair broken packages
[19:05] <ismetteren> yes
[19:05] <oneunknown> Jordan_U, (Ubuntu 9.10, grub2)
[19:05] <Jordan_U> oneunknown: The best way to do that is likely to use KMS, that way you can get the same resolution as with X rather than being limited to VESA resolutions. What graphics card?
[19:05] <arvind_khadri> ismetteren, do you have compiz ?
[19:06] <omar> Hi everyone
[19:06] <ismetteren> compiz ships with ubuntu dosent it?
[19:06] <Jordan_U> ismetteren: Yes.
[19:06] <arzonista> musicalmidget:will not appear on the screen
[19:06] <oneunknown> Jordan_U, nvidia quadro nvs 140M
[19:06] <omar> I have a question: is there any good antivirus that can scan windows partitions for ubuntu?
[19:06] <meanburrito920_> does anyone know where ubuntu stores the keyboard device driver? It doesnt seem to be in /dev/input
[19:06] <ismetteren> ok. i havent removed it, and im using the middle effects setting
[19:06] <meanburrito920_> same question for the mouse
[19:07] <Stargaze> omar, try clam-tk
[19:07] <magedragon25> omar: avast has a linux version that works
[19:07] <omar> thanks for the answers
[19:07] <muhamad> se
[19:08] <Aayush> Stargaze: same error message , when i tried to open Synaptic
[19:08] <Jordan_U> oneunknown: Ok, I'm not sure how stable KMS support for nvidia is. You would need to install the nouveau drivers.
[19:08] <erUSUL> magedragon25: my ps2 keyboard is there /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd
[19:08] <Stargaze> Aayush, make sure no other installation is busy
[19:08] <ismetteren> do you have an idea about whats wrong?
[19:09] <oneunknown> Jordan_U, I'll google that. thanks!
[19:09] <meanburrito920_> erUSUL: I'm working on a laptop though, so my keyboard isnt ps2
[19:09] <ismetteren> should i disable compiz?
[19:09] <goddard> Does anyone know of a better image recognition software than gocr?
[19:09] <magedragon25> erUSUL: what is the problem...I don't see it scrolling up
[19:10] <erUSUL> meanburrito920_: should be there too. do « tree /dev/input/ » or « ls -R /dev/input/ »
[19:10] <Jordan_U> oneunknown: Looks like you can't use nouveau and the proprietary drivers at the same time.
[19:10] <oneunknown> Jordan_U, hm :/ Well in that case I'll leave the system as it is at the moment :)
[19:10] <keithz> Help! How do I avoid synaptic error "Depends: zope2.10 but it is not going to be installed"? I can't install plone3-site in ubuntu 9.10. Is it broken?
[19:10] <oneunknown> Jordan_U, thanks a lot for your help!
[19:11] <meanburrito920_> oh, there it is. Thanks! I'm not sure why I couldnt find it before
[19:11] <ZykoticK9> oneunknown, Jordan_U proprietary nvidia doesn't support kms - so you'd really have to want that console resolution to give up the proprietary driver for xorg
[19:11] <meanburrito920_> do most programs read the keyboard through by-path?
[19:11] <ismetteren> Thank you whoever tried to help me (i cant even scroll up to see your name). I will reboot so i can use my computer again for some time...
[19:11] <Jordan_U> oneunknown: You're welcome, you can still probably get a slightly higher resolution without KMS, you would need to enable vesafb for that IIRC.
[19:12] <Stargaze> keithz, try this => http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=plone&searchon=names&suite=karmic&section=all
[19:12] <erUSUL> meanburrito920_: most programs read the kb via the Xserver which is the one that uses the dev file
[19:12] <spazic> help help help - I am getting a grub error 17. my system was running fine yesterday. Now i cant boot. What can i do???? :-/
[19:13] <meanburrito920_> erUSUL: ah, ok. thanks :)
[19:13] <Jordan_U> ZykoticK9: I personally love me some KMS and gallium3D goodness, even if it still needs a bit of work :)
[19:13] <Jordan_U> spazic: What version of Ubuntu?
[19:13] <ZykoticK9> Jordan_U, i've only played with noveau for a couple of minutes - it worked with compiz (which was cool) but I like my nvidia-blob too much to give it up ;)
[19:14] <keithz> Stargaze: how does that link help to solve the problem?
[19:14] <Stargaze> keitz, it's a different way to install the same package
[19:14] <Aayush> Stargaze: do u know how to reset dpkg
[19:15] <SealedWithAKiss> Hey people. I have installed the drivers for my integrated wireless network adapter in Ubuntu 9.10 however no networks are showing when I know some exist
[19:15] <Stargaze> Aayush, reset? I know there's dpkg-reconfigure -a
[19:15] <klimraamkosie> have you turned on your wireless adapter?
[19:16] <Jordan_U> Aayush: You probably don't want to run dpkg-reconfigue -a for your specific problem, among other things it will ask a *lot* of questions.
[19:16] <keithz> Stargaze: I don't understand. Your link begins exactly with the plone3-site which causes problems. What command should I execute for installation??
[19:17] <klimraamkosie> I have two partitions on my single 1TB drive in my new ubuntu 9.10 machine.  I set the first mount point to / and the second mount point (on the second partition) to /home
[19:17] <Stargaze> keithz, i'm out of ideas now :(
[19:17] <klimraamkosie> How do I change the mount point on the second partition and move my /home to the first one.
[19:17] <spazic> Jordan_U - the newest
[19:18] <SealedWithAKiss> Can anybody help? It's the rtl8187s integratec card.
[19:18] <Jordan_U> spazic: Fresh install or upgrade?
[19:18] <terry_> klimraamkosie: any particular reason why you want to trade places with them?
[19:18] <terry_> klimraamkosie: You can resize one or both you know.
[19:19] <Aayush> Jordan_U: Stargaze, i just tried dpkg-reconfigure -a it fives this error  http://pastebin.com/SBekQXjp
[19:19] <klimraamkosie> terry_: I want to use the second 90% of the drive, for samba sharing.
[19:19] <terry_> klimraamkosie: It is really a pretty good arrangement to have /home on it's on partition.  And you have a LARGE drive anyway.
[19:20] <terry_> klimraamkosie: You probably only need 6-8 G for /
[19:20] <abhi_nav> madjoe: you there?
[19:20] <mvn071> hi on http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/alpha2 ==> alpha-2 shouldn't it be alpha-3 the download url's are dead.....
[19:20] <Stargaze> Aayush, you find xapian tools in Synaptic
[19:20] <SnowmanX11> I have a question: Can somebody watch HD movies (eg mkv) with Radeon HD 4200?
[19:20] <terry_> klimraamkosie: /home can be 20 or 30G
[19:20] <klimraamkosie> terry_: / has about 50GB right now.  I'd like to throw /home in there.
[19:20] <terry_> klimraamkosie: You can do that
[19:21] <klimraamkosie> terry_: so that it's on the same partition.
[19:21] <goddard> Does anyone know of a better image recognition software than gocr?
[19:21] <klimraamkosie> terry_: Then I want to use the rest of the drive as a network shared drive.
[19:21] <Aayush> Stargaze: when i tried to open Synaptic, it give error message
[19:21] <Stargaze> Aayush, apt-xapian-index must be installed (did not know it myself ;) )
[19:21] <terry_> klimraamkosie: basically you just do: cp -a /home /  and then change the fstab entry.
[19:21] <Stargaze> Aayush, and apt-get install apt-xapian-index?
[19:22] <arathald> hmmm does anyone know how to get the xfce workspace switcher to show an overlay when i switch workspaces showing which workspace I'm on, similar to how the gnome workspace switcher does?
[19:22] <Jordan_U> Aayush: Can you pastebin the output of "cat /var/lib/dpkg/status" ?
[19:22] <spazic> Jordan_U - it was working yesterday and has been for weeks and i didnt do any upgrades
[19:22] <Stargaze> Aayush, try the Windows trick: reboot your PC
[19:22] <terry_> !home | klimraamkosie
[19:23] <Jordan_U> spazic: I mean did you upgrade from 9.04 or was this a fresh install of 9.10?
[19:23] <Aayush> Stargaze: i did it 100 times :)
[19:23] <klimraamkosie> terry_: Awesomesauce, lets hope it has some hints on moving it back. Thanks!
[19:23] <terry_> klimraamkosie: You can just take the above info and see what there is to do.
[19:23] <klimraamkosie> terry_: Thanks :)
[19:23] <terry_> klimraamkosie: You just do: cp -a /home /  and then change the fstab entry.
[19:24] <Jordan_U> terry_: klimraamkosie: A simple cp will not preserve permissions.
[19:24] <spazic> Jordan_U - ooo ummm i believe it was an upgrade
[19:24] <countriside> hello!!
[19:24] <terry_> klimraamkosie: and reboot to make sure it all works ok before deleting the second partition.
[19:24] <jelg> qutecom seqfaults on my ubuntu karmic.. anyone here had luck with QuteCom?
[19:24] <mamous> hello all
[19:24] <mamous> I have a problem
[19:24] <Jordan_U> spazic: Ok, that explains why you are getting a grub legacy error.
[19:24] <countriside> hello mamous!!
[19:25] <mamous> when I want to use torrent
[19:25] <jelg> segfaults
[19:25] <mamous> and I open porst in my router
[19:25] <mamous> but when I add it to he transmission it said it is closed
[19:25] <mamous> what to do ?
[19:25] <mamous> ??
[19:26] <mamous> any one can help me ?
[19:26] <countriside> what are you  doing??
[19:26] <terry_> Jordan_U: I told him to use  -a
[19:26] <terry_> Jordan_U: But thank you for your input.
[19:26] <jelg> error 4 in libQtCore.so.4.5.2
[19:26] <tyler_d2> mamous: ensure your using the right ip address
[19:26] <Jordan_U> terry_: Sorry, missed that.
[19:27] <mamous> how ?
[19:27] <Aayush> Stargaze: even when i tried cat: /var/lib/dpkg/status > status.txt i get  Input/output error
[19:27] <Stargaze> mamous, put your question in one line and repeat it if you do not get an answer immediately :)
[19:27] <Jordan_U> Aayush: Ok, do you have a file /var/lib/dpkg/status-old ?
[19:27] <tyler_d2> mamous: alt-f2 type 'gnome-terminal' and from there type '/sbin/ifconfig/'
[19:27] <Aayush> Stargaze: error source may be some where else
[19:27] <Stargaze> Aayush, if you have more than one window manager installed (KDE/Gnome) try booting in the other and work from there
[19:28] <Prestidigitonium> i tried that link and it doesnt make sense
[19:28] <Jordan_U> Aayush: By the way, especially since this has happened before you may have a failing drive.
[19:28] <countriside> Who is that helping?
[19:28] <tyler_d2> mamous: or you can type "ifconfig | grep -b1 eth | grep addr: | awk '{ print $3 }'"
[19:28] <Prestidigitonium> i dont need to back up my home directory
[19:28] <countriside> one moment
[19:28] <Prestidigitonium> i just need to move it
[19:28] <Ganymede> how would i add an IPv6 nameserver to the list of nameservers that A. is reachable in the absence of a DHCP client (e.g. so not in dhclient.conf) and B. is reachable in the presence of a DHCP client and lease (e.g. so not hardcoded into /etc/resolv.conf)?
[19:28] <SmittyJensen> Hi. Is there any way to get the new Lucid theme on Karmic?
[19:28] <terry_> klimraamkosie: You could also reduce the size of the first partition to 8 or 10G and the second to -40G
[19:28] <Prestidigitonium> this is a fresh install, so theres nothing on it
[19:28] <mamous> I did not understand
[19:28] <Jordan_U> spazic: Try re-installing grub, if that doesn't work try upgrading to grub2.
[19:28] <countriside> I now come
[19:29] <mamous> I'm total n000b
[19:29] <Jordan_U> !grub | spazic
[19:29] <Prestidigitonium> i do not
[19:29] <lorenzo> #ubuntu-it-chat
[19:29] <spazic> haha niiice
[19:29] <tyler_d2> mamous: are you using ubuntu ?
[19:29] <mamous> yes
[19:29] <klimraamkosie> terry_: So just boot with the live CD and resize?
[19:29] <lars__> hey im pretty new to Ubuntu and i just partitioned and loaded it yestersay...now im having trouble configuring my wireless adapter...i have no clue what to do lol
[19:29] <Stargaze> mamous, put your question in one line and repeat it if you do not get an answer immediately :)
[19:29] <klimraamkosie> terry_: that would probably be a lot easier
[19:29] <spazic> Jordan_U : thanks, i will try that
[19:29] <tyler_d2> mamous: ok, so press the alt key on your keyboard, and press the f2 key on the top of your keyboard
[19:29] <Jordan_U> spazic: You're welcome.

[19:37] <lars__> Jordan_U: I just pulled it up, and the only driver that is active is my broadcom sta wireless driver...im sure thats not the adapeter but only the bluetooth...but im not sure..basically i got the wireless network kernal and it has pulled up the hardware and sees it as present...but i just cant activate it...haha sorry 4 my n00bishness lol
[19:37] <KourkouliS> a maintainance shell will now be started.
[19:37] <git__> erUSUL, I have compiz installed, let me look
[19:37] <KourkouliS> CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and re-try.
[19:37] <cahippy> hi all
[19:37] <KourkouliS> Trek this is the error
[19:37] <Dantonic> Damn it I want to play Blue Ray!!!! :(
[19:37] <cahippy> hi all
[19:37] <Jordan_U> lars__: If that driver is active your wireless should be working. Can you pastebin the output of "iwconfig scan"?
[19:38] <Trek> KourkouliS, post on one line for me with my name in there, so I can see the entire message, I missed it
[19:38] <Endasil> KourkouliS: I think you need to run fsck
[19:38] <Jordan_U> lars__: Sorry, just "iwconfig"
[19:38] <xxiao> Stargaze: thanks. too many to choose, just read it quickly, there is indeed no software that can support both slideshow and movies at the same time
[19:38] <cahippy> can someone tell me how i can get usb to work in virtualbox
[19:38] <erUSUL> cahippy: #vbox
[19:38] <cahippy> ose
[19:38] <KourkouliS> ok sorry , Trek  after the check passess 27% progress it appears that Mount of filesystem failed. a maintainance shell will now be started. CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and re-try.
[19:38] <Jordan_U> lars__: grr, not yet awake "iwlist scan"
[19:39] <abhi_nav> cahippy: enable usb device in virtual box settings
[19:39] <Stargaze> cahippy, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/USB
[19:39] <Trek> Kourkoulis:  <Endasil> KourkouliS: I think you need to run fsck
[19:39] <cahippy> thks star
[19:39] <lars__> jordan_U: haha its ok would i run that through the terminal??? again man im like a virgin ubuntu user...
[19:40] <Jordan_U> lars__: Yes, in the terminal.
[19:40] <wack479> trying to get the "SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/robots\.txt$" dontlog" (keep the server from logging any robots.txt requests) but for some reason its not working for me.
[19:40] <cahippy> anyone got 10.04 yet
[19:40] <KourkouliS> Trek yes but i am unfamiliar to the console and the fsck command... can you help me?
[19:40] <git__> thanks so much erUSUL, u r the MAN!
[19:40] <Jordan_U> lars__: Do *not* paste the output to the channel though.
[19:40] <erUSUL> git__: :)
[19:41] <mariana> Alguien habla español?
[19:41] <Jordan_U> !es | mariana
[19:41] <abhi_nav> !10.04 | cahippy
[19:41] <Trek> KourkouliS, ask Endasil about using fsck, I don't usually have issues with filesystems which require me to use fsck, and I am also unfamiliar with fsck as well
[19:41] <Endasil> KourkouliS: type "fsck /dev/disk/by-uuid/ID" where ID is the filesystem that failed to mount
[19:41] <wack479> the other day i was having problems, and someone told me to just fsk it!
[19:41] <alexis> anyone can tell me how to fix graphics and resolution after leaving a wine-running game?
[19:41] <wack479> fsck it
[19:42] <lars__> Jordan_U: its telling that its doesnt support scan...exact words"interface doesn't support scanning"
[19:42] <Trek> Endasil / KourkouliS: Endasil, you should help him figure out the disk, by-uuid, and ID for him, he seems unfamiliar with console
[19:42] <Jordan_U> lars__: For eth0? Is there any other device listed?
[19:43] <Endasil> Trek / KourkouliS: honestly I'm pretty unfamiliar with how to figure out which it is
[19:43] <Endasil> KourkouliS: I think it should have been in the error message somewhere, you can tab-complete after typing the first few characters
[19:43] <Trek> Endasil / KourkouliS: I'm on my ubuntu box right now, i'll check the man pages, standby
[19:43] <lars__> Jordan_U: lo int. doesnt support and eth0 int.doesnt support
[19:44] <Jordan_U> KourkouliS: Hold shift during boot and you should see a menu, choose "recovery mode" then when another menu comes up choose the fsck option.
[19:44] <KourkouliS> Endasil unfortunatly it doesnt have any uuid
[19:44] <Jordan_U> lars__: Try "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter"
[19:44] <arathald> so... apparently theres no one active in #xfce
[19:44] <KourkouliS> Jordan_U i will try it
[19:45] <Pici> arathald: Theres #xubuntu
[19:45] <Trek> Endasil / KourkouliS: http://starfleet.pastebin.com/L1P20ceQ
[19:45] <arathald> Pici: they're not helpful either
[19:45] <Pici> arathald: Sorry :/
[19:45] <Trek> Endasil / KourkouliS: it seems you don't need the uuid and what not, you can actually specify the partition (from what I read there, its posted there in the pastebin)
[19:46] <KourkouliS> Jordan_U it doesnt appear any menu...
[19:46] <Jordan_U> KourkouliS: You held shift during boot?
[19:46] <lars__> Jordan_U: u sir are a genious lol...ok so i am at the package config scren now...hit y 4 extracting firmware?
[19:46] <Jordan_U> lars__: Yes.
[19:46] <KourkouliS> if i add the cd with ubuntu it will have the recovery mode?
[19:47] <lars__> g
[19:47] <Jordan_U> KourkouliS: No, but you can run fsck from the liveCD.
[19:48] <decal> how i change grub settings?
[19:49] <wasutton3> does anyone know how to get transmission-daemon to start on boot with a custom config file?
[19:49] <decal> i am on live cd and want to change grub settings from installed ubuntu
[19:50] <Madwill> ubuntu keeps asking me if i want to start in recovery mode is something wrong i choose start normaly and everything is fine... how can i make it stop
[19:50] <decal> i change it in /etc/default/grub but dont know how i update-grub
[19:50] <Jordan_U> decal: What setting do you want to change?
[19:50] <vishal> hi
[19:50] <Trek> decal: what do you mean by grub settings?
[19:50] <countriside> Byeeeee I love youuu
[19:50] <erUSUL> decal: sudo update-grub in a terminal
[19:50] <vishal> can anybody help me regarding pidgin
[19:50] <Jordan_U> erUSUL: That won't work from the LiveCD
[19:50] <heh> hello everyone
[19:50] <Trek> decal: what erUSUL said, sudo update-grub in terminal
[19:51] <erUSUL> Jordan_U: didnt know it was in a livecd ...
[19:51] <vishal> actually when m trying to open yahoo chat on that it is not getting opning
[19:51] <erUSUL> decal: sorry; Jordan_U is right
[19:51] <lars__> jordan_U: ok its extracted whats the next step
[19:51] <vishal> n tell me how to ping service in command line
[19:51] <Jordan_U> lars__: "sudo modprobe b43" and "iwlist scan" again.
[19:51] <erUSUL> vishal: you ping hosts not services ...
[19:52] <tyler_d2> thought that read a little funny vishal
[19:52] <decal> soo
[19:52] <erUSUL> !grub2 | decal
[19:52] <vishal> erUSUL: but when m going to ping some ip it is not pinging
[19:52] <lars__> Jordan_U "sudo" first then "iwist"
[19:52] <decal> yes but
[19:52] <emmanuel> Hi Everybody!!
[19:52] <erUSUL> decal: there is a section in that wiki about chrooting to your hd install to repair grub
[19:53] <erUSUL> vishal: maybe he uses a firewall
[19:53] <vishal> erUSUL: tell me from srach how can i start with this
[19:53] <KourkouliS> Trek i've been down... did you find anything?
[19:53] <vishal> erUSUL:tell me what i do
[19:53] <erUSUL> vishal: i do not know what you want to do ?
[19:53] <Trek> Endasil / KourkouliS: http://starfleet.pastebin.com/L1P20ceQ
[19:53] <decal> i am looking for this whole day but dont have luck
[19:53] <Trek> Endasil / KourkouliS: it seems you don't need the uuid and what not, you can actually specify the partition (from what I read there, its posted there in the pastebin)
[19:54] <decal> i cannot change grub.cfg
[19:54] <Jordan_U> decal: First mount your Ubuntu partition somewhere, lets say /mnt. Then run "sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev && sudo mount --bind /proc/ /mnt/proc && sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys && sudo chroot /mnt update-grub"
[19:54] <decal> or update-grub
[19:54] <emmanuel> I have a little problem, I installed polipo, after I uninstall it, but I deleted init script in init.d folder. When I reinstalled polipo, the init script doesn't appear
[19:54] <Trek> KourkouliS, that's what I found at least, read the pastebin thing I linked you to, thats the man page for fsck
[19:54] <lars__> Jordan_U:sudo modprobe b43:  WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.
[19:54] <emmanuel> how can I rebuild the polipo init script?
[19:54] <decal> sory i am new
[19:54] <jrib> emmanuel: why?
[19:54] <decal> soo i use
[19:54] <decal> mount /mnt?
[19:54] <Jordan_U> lars__: You can ignore that warning.
[19:55] <KourkouliS> Trek i'll read it, there is any solution from the installation cd-rom to rescue the system?
[19:55] <awsten32> guyz any one know about audio and video codes !!  in one file ??
[19:55] <emmanuel> because I want use "polipo start|stop"
[19:55] <erUSUL> awsten32: install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:55] <jrib> emmanuel: and what's stopping you from doing that now?
[19:55] <lars__> Jordan_U: and for the scan the same interface doesnt support scanning pops up lol
[19:55] <emmanuel> but the init script isn't any more
[19:55] <jrib> !who | emmanuel
[19:55] <awsten32> it'll give me all i need ??
[19:55] <jrib> emmanuel: you deleted it?
 like *.Rm ??
[19:56] <Jordan_U> decal: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid" ?
[19:56] <erUSUL> awsten32: yes lots of codecs just installing that
[19:56] <ventz> Does anyone have a way to make ubuntu detect/aware of a duplicate IP (it's own)  while booting up?
[19:57] <awsten32> alright
[19:57] <jrib> emmanuel: you shouldn't delete files that are managed by apt.  Anyway, just purge and reinstall the polipo package
[19:58] <jrib> emmanuel: aptitude purge PACKAGE
[19:58] <emmanuel> !jrib ok, let me try
[19:58] <erUSUL> ventz: i'm not sure i understand the question ... you want ubuntu to check if some other machine in the net has its ip ?
[19:58] <jrib> emmanuel: you don't need  the '!'
[19:58] <ventz> erUSUL: when I boot up machine X, I want it to detect if anyone else has X's IP
[19:58] <ventz> RHEL + windows seem to do this
[19:59] <emmanuel> jrib: ok, sorry
[19:59] <jrib> emmanuel: no problem
[19:59] <Trek> ventz: what do you mean by duplicate IP?  duplicate IP from the Router?
[19:59] <lars__> Jordan_U: would u want to private chat to continue walking me through at all
[19:59] <ventz> Trek: as in another host has the same IP
[20:00] <CyberGabber> ventz:This seems to be a misconfiguration, if you set up this the rigth way, no dupicates can ever appear.
[20:00] <ventz> we are having a problem at work where people will sometimes accidently re-use the same IP. When one of the original machines comes online all hell breaks loose. Different people can reach different machiens on the same IP :)
[20:00] <Jordan_U> lars__: Not really sure what to try from here, rebooting may help but it's not likely.
[20:00] <emmanuel> jrib: thank's alot, the init script is there!!!
[20:00] <jrib> emmanuel: cool
[20:00] <Trek> ventz: still not understanding what you mean.  By IP, do you mean internal IP or external IP?  and do you manually assign static IPs to computers?
[20:00] <lars__> ok well hey thnx 4 everything lol
[20:01] <emmanuel> jrib: is there any command similar in apt-get?
[20:01] <jrib> emmanuel: yes, you can apt-get purge too
[20:01] <emmanuel> jrib: or I must use aptitude?
[20:01] <CyberGabber> ventz: Aren't you using DHCP ? are those machines congifured with static addresses?
[20:01] <ventz> Trek: internal IP. We use static rfc1918 IPs. Ex: say I use 10.0.0.5, and someone else boots an ubuntu system with the same IP. In my internal network
[20:01] <emmanuel> jrib: ok!! thak's alot!!!
[20:01] <ventz> CyberGabber: no dhcp, yes static IPs.
[20:01] <Madwill> how can i debug my boot sequence....
[20:01] <jrib> emmanuel: I just tend to push aptitude nowadays because that's what debian docs recommend
[20:02] <Trek> ventz: is the network assigning the IPs?  because if there's a conflicting IP, and your network goes on the fritz, you won't be able to detect anyways
[20:02] <hhggt> hhg
[20:02] <Trek> ventz: what I mean is, is there something network-side that tells the computer "THIS IS YOUR STATIC IP"?
[20:02] <Stargaze> ventz, type /join #ubuntu-server
[20:02] <ventz> Stargaze: thanks
[20:02] <CyberGabber> ventz: Really, its a admin-job to notice / maintaine the adresses right way.

[20:03] <EgYPaRaDoX_> i upgraded from jaunty to karmic do i need to update the other software in software sources? i feel that there are some missing packages
[20:04] <Paparaco> heloo
[20:04] <jrib> emmanuel: there's also a way to use apt-get and not purge too (just reinstall conf files) but it's more complicated, so this was easier :)
[20:05] <KourkouliS> Trek it does found some inode says that it is corrupted and it was asking me about to fix it... i pressed yes let's see if it is ok now...
[20:06] <EgYPaRaDoX_> there is also a problem when my friend installs kubuntu desktop package, when it loads with a certain kernel it panics
[20:07] <Trek> KourkouliS: hope that the fix doesn't nuke your files in the process
[20:07] <emmanuel> jrib: okay, :) have a good day!!

[20:32] <ikonia> killown: well, we can't help you without a question
[20:32] <killown> the question was been done
 i can't start pulse-session i am getting error E: core-util.c: Home directory /home/linux not ours.
[20:32] <killown> * MrLee_TTB saiu (Quit: Leaving)
 how i do to fix it?
[20:33] <ikonia> killown: change the permissions ?
[20:33] <ikonia> killown: who owns /home/linux
[20:33] <killown> what permissions?
[20:33] <killown> chown -R linux /home/linux?
[20:33] <killown> i did it
[20:33] <ikonia> no
[20:33] <ikonia> who owns it
[20:33] <ikonia> what is the user you're running the command as ?
[20:33] <killown> user linux
[20:33]  * airtonix feels the love 
[20:34] <ikonia> killown: pastebin the output of ls -la /home/linux in a pastebin please
[20:34] <uniscript> I have a running process and I want to time it without restarting. Any suggestions?
[20:34] <t0rc> I want my clock to synchronize with a server so it always has the right time, whether DST or not. I'm trying to use NTP but its not working right, keeps setting my time to 4 hours earlier.
[20:34] <killown> ikonia all root ://
[20:34] <ikonia> killown: so thre you go then
[20:34] <killown> how i change it for user linux?
[20:34] <arathald> uniscript: time the whole execution, or the execution from here on?
[20:35] <ikonia> killown: sudo chown -R linux /home/linux
[20:35] <spazic> !grub
[20:35] <killown> i did it
[20:35] <uniscript> arathald: either
[20:35] <ikonia> killown: then you've done it wrong, what is the group owner ?
[20:35] <killown> ikonia, this is a ntfs-partition
[20:36] <arathald> uniscript: well, timing the whole execution would be nearly impossible at this point; the execution from here on would probably have to be done via a script that somehow hooked into the pid of the running process and waited for it to terminate
[20:36] <ikonia> killown: why are you doing this on an NTFS partition, that's not meant to be used for users home dir's ?
[20:36] <killown> maybe any problem with ntfs?
[20:36] <ikonia> killown: big problem doing it that way
[20:36] <ikonia> pulse audio doesn't suck, you're just using the wrong tools
[20:36] <killown> because i need share this partition with windows 7
[20:36] <Stargaze> killown, try sudo apt-get install ntfs-progs
[20:36] <ikonia> that's not how you work with linux
[20:36] <ikonia> Stargaze: no - changing the permissions on that is wrong
[20:37] <DarkW> hello... is there a log somewhere that i can check that shows only successful login attempts w/ IP address to my linux server running ubuntu?
[20:37] <killown> Stargaze, already installed
[20:37] <sunshinepants> pulseaudio++
[20:37] <ikonia> Stargaze: assising a linux uid owner will break windows
[20:37] <killown> it's isolated ntfs partition
[20:37] <ikonia> so ?
[20:37] <wasutton3> is there a way to get transmission-daemon to be able to write to a samba share?
[20:37] <killown> my windows 7 is not on him
[20:37]  * Stargaze just learned something new, then :)
[20:37] <ikonia> so ?
[20:37] <killown> ikonia> Stargaze: assising a linux uid owner will break windows
[20:38] <killown> it will not break windows
[20:38] <killown> ...
[20:38] <ikonia> killown: you can't share data like that, and you certainly can't change permissions like that
[20:38] <ikonia> killown: yes, it will
[20:38] <juanfra> hello
[20:38] <Stargaze> killown, thank you, i read it the first time :)
[20:38] <ikonia> killown: you're windows disk will not be able to use it properly as it will be owned by a user that doesn't exist on the system
[20:38]  * airtonix laughs
[20:38] <killown> i can't set permissions on ntfs partitions?
[20:38] <airtonix> wasutton3, have you tried using smbfs ?
[20:39] <sunshinepants> can't you do that with windows svcs for unix user mapping?
[20:39] <juanfra> hola
[20:39] <ikonia> killown: no, because the linux user you'll set to own it won't work on your windows partition as that owner doesn't exist on your windows OS
[20:39] <ikonia> killown: as I've said - you can't share data like that
[20:39] <airtonix> wasutton3, i think that would make reduce the issue to simply pointing transmission-daemon at your smbfs mount point
[20:39] <wasutton3> airtonix: i have it mounted via fstab (the linux is actually a guest virtualbox machine)
[20:39] <juanfra> what
[20:40] <juanfra> jsjnb
[20:40] <killown> some gay here told that use ntfs on /home

[20:40] <killown> it's not making any sense
[20:40] <killown> guy*
[20:40] <killown> sorry
[20:40] <ikonia> juanfra: don't flood the chanel
[20:40] <xXPoorMexicanXx> Is there a way to get the Palm Web OS SDK to run on Ubuntu 9.10?
[20:40] <killown> haha
[20:40] <FloodBot4> killown: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:40] <airtonix> !enter
[20:40] <ikonia> killown: it is - think about it, does the user "root" exist on your windows machine
[20:40] <jaik> Good evening, is there something like a "Rescent" folder in Ubuntu? A folder, where Documents are located, that I opened once in firefox.
[20:40] <airtonix> !who | killown
[20:41] <airtonix> wasutton3, so your smbfs mount point is something like /media/blah and transmission won't write to /media/blah/torrents ?
[20:41] <wasutton3> airtonix: its actually in /home/user/blah but yea
[20:41] <airtonix> jaik, yes i think it is a file though
[20:42] <airtonix> wasutton3, ah so you have it mounted in your home folder... ok. my next thought would be that some user permissions relating to the vbox and the user account running in vbox might need looking at ?
[20:43] <wasutton3> airtonix: hmmmm
[20:43] <linNwin> Why is there a % sign next to my home partition? Also, there is a lost and found folder in it. Did I do something wrong when I created the /home partition?
[20:43] <jake1> hey room i was wondering how i install the Java JRE for and inplant it in firefox
[20:43] <airtonix> jaik, ~/.recently-used
[20:43] <xXPoorMexicanXx> Hello does anyone know how to get the palm web os sdk to run in Ubuntu 9.10?
[20:43] <almoxarife> jake1: synaptic, sun-java-jre
[20:43] <airtonix> wasutton3, your current problem is just that transmission wont write to your samba share right ?
[20:44] <sunshinepants> xXPoorMexicanXx: that would be cool
[20:44] <xXPoorMexicanXx> Or how to run an Ubuntu 9.04 app in 9.10?
[20:44] <killown> airtonix, ntfs-3g -o uid=SOMEGUY,gid=SOMEGROUP /dev/yourmom /mount/hurtme"  i just need set gid and uid to linux user
[20:44] <killown> ;x
[20:44] <xXPoorMexicanXx> Yeah it would be cool but I can't figure it out.
[20:44] <arathald> linNwin: what do you mean by '% sign next to [your] home partition'? what tool are you using? I assume you don't mean that there is literally a % character floating next to the partition on your drive
[20:44] <Losha> jaik: firefox has a history list you can look at to see what was looked at recently. It also has a cache where copies of recently viewed files are *sometimes* kept. There's no *guarantee* a given page will have a cache copy though. Poke around in ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/Cache
[20:44] <wasutton3> airtonix: yes, i have a feeling that its because transmission-daemon has its own user
[20:44] <Andre_Gondim> does any one knows how to do a command copy/b from cmd, the same in Ubuntu?
[20:44] <ardchoille> xXPoorMexicanXx: isn't the 9.04app in 9.10 repos?
[20:44] <xXPoorMexicanXx> I'm not sure.
[20:45] <ianwizard> I've looked on google but I can't seem to find the name of the file that controls what modules are kept loaded through suspend.  Anyone know?
[20:45] <ardchoille> xXPoorMexicanXx: apt-cache search appname
[20:45] <airtonix> wasutton3, true if its run as root
[20:45] <xXPoorMexicanXx> thanks I'll check right now.
[20:45] <sunshinepants> xXPoorMexicanXx: what about http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1585
[20:45] <Evil_Otto> Anyone set up Ubuntu in virtualbox to have multiple IPs on th same interface?
[20:45] <wasutton3> airtonix: no its actually got its own user "transmission-daemon"
[20:45] <linNwin> arathald, on the left side of my home folder it list other partitions. One of them says "%home" ? Is it suspose to be like that and if not where did I go wrong?
[20:46] <sunshinepants> xXPoorMexicanXx: google "palm webos virtualbox"
[20:46] <bigtom21485> how do i pronounce the word daemon?
[20:46] <linNwin> day man
[20:46] <ardchoille> bigpresh: "demon"
[20:46] <sunshinepants> killer of the night man
[20:46] <linNwin> daemon=day man
[20:46] <Brokie> Wassup all you crazy fookers
[20:46] <bigtom21485> ive killed windows and im so happy i dont own a single windows computer
[20:46] <airtonix> wasutton3, ok have a look at creating a group for samb virtual box sharing ... somthing like "smb-vbox" and place yourself, virtualbox and the transmission daemon in that group ?
[20:46] <Losha> bigtom21485: dee-mon hereabouts...
[20:46] <ardchoille> linagee: it's "dee-mon"
[20:47] <linagee> ardchoille: ?
[20:47] <awsten32> Q
[20:47] <xXPoorMexicanXx> Ok
[20:47] <jaik> @ airtonix & @ Losha - Thank you!
[20:47] <ardchoille> linagee: sorry, tab complete bit me
[20:47] <awsten32> where's the program file LOL
[20:47] <arathald> linNwin: that still makes no sense to me; there are *tons* of places you can see your home folder... 'on the left side of my home folder' is completely meaningless to me with no context
[20:47] <wasutton3> airtonix: i actually have not been using the vbox sharing, i have the network connection bridged to the network adapter so i only have to activate the windows shares once in one way
[20:47] <linagee> ardchoille: I pronounce linux as leenucks
[20:47] <epaphus2> Hello all. Iam interested in purchasing a  iam interested in purchasing a The board supports the INtel MoBo DQ45CB . it says it  HAS raid1 support... does anybody know if this is compatible with ubuntu? the ubuntu installer will see only 1 hard disk right? i dont have to do abything in ubuntu ?
[20:47] <jake1> almoxarife waht do i do from there it found the jre files
[20:47] <javo> ola
[20:47] <airtonix> wasutton3, ok so virtualbox isn't part of the permissions problem but you understand my point ?
[20:48] <Losha> linagee: lye-nux...
[20:48] <awsten32> where's the program file in UBUNTU
[20:48] <awsten32> where's the program file in UBUNTU
[20:48] <Myrtti> !es | javo
[20:48] <wasutton3> airtonix: yes i do understand
[20:48] <linagee> Losha: lye-noocks
[20:48] <xXPoorMexicanXx> Ok guys thanks for everything I think that I can figure it out now
[20:48] <awsten32> where's the program file in UBUNTU
[20:48] <bigtom21485> IM YELLING BECAUSE IM FRUSTRATED
[20:48] <Evil_Otto> ugh
[20:48] <wasutton3> airtonix: i have already added transmission-daemon to the samba group
[20:49] <linagee> Losha: I pronounce ubuntu as micro-bun-too. :)
[20:49] <linNwin> arathald, when I open up the default PacmanFM file manager my /home partition is listed on the left column as "%home" and within "%home" is  a folder named "lost+found" which I did not create. Is is suppose to be like that ???
[20:49] <guntbert> !ot | linagee
[20:49] <Losha> linagee: ok, you're weird. It's yoo-bun-too here...
[20:49] <arathald> linNwin: lost+found is created in every partition by default
[20:49] <airtonix> Losha, yoo-boon-too...boon as in boom
[20:49] <awsten32> where I can find the program files ?? please
[20:49] <guntbert> Losha: please don't carry that on - here
[20:49] <red> lost+found has stuff if ur pc goes boom
[20:50] <UnderSampled> I wlways said ooo-bun-too
[20:50] <Stargaze> awsten32, in /usr/bin
[20:50] <Losha> guntbert: quite right, sorry...
[20:50] <awsten32> thank you
[20:50] <arathald> linNwin: also, I don't use PacmanFM, so don't assume that I know what you're talking about without context. I'm assuming the % sign is the current open folder, or to show the folder is expanded
[20:50] <airtonix> wasutton3, i think you'd be better off leavign system groups alone and isolating the situation to custom groups
[20:50] <wasutton3> airtonix: i shuffled the mount point to the /media folder, im checking now
[20:50] <almoxarife> u-bun-2
[20:50] <aeon-ltd> awsten32: stop asking, and what program files? or go check /usr/bin
[20:50] <linNwin> arathald, is it suppose to label  my /home partition "%home"?
[20:51] <wasutton3> airtonix: true, but otherwise transmission-daemon wouldnt be able to use samba services
 So where can I ask??
[20:51] <arathald> linNwin: im not sure offhand, but unless youre having specific problems, assume that it's fine, it doesn't sound broken to me
[20:51] <aeon-ltd> awsten32: no, i meant stop repeating.
[20:51] <airtonix> wasutton3, thats the point of smbfs, that it doesnt realise that it is using samba... all it sees is a folder.
[20:52] <awsten32> OK sorry about that !!!
[20:52] <airtonix> wasutton3, maybe your fstab line is a bit askew?
[20:52] <wasutton3> airtonix: yes, thats whats used in my fstab
[20:52] <Evil_Otto> also using multiple !!!s is annoying!
[20:52] <ianwizard> Can anyone help me with making suspend (to ram) more efficient?
[20:52] <arathald> also any words in all-caps
[20:53] <arathald> unless they are acronyms
[20:53] <ikonia> !guidlines
[20:53] <VCoolio> awsten32: there is no folder like 'program files' in linux; what file(s) are you looking for?
[20:53] <Nollog> Evil_Otto: Is it possible to get my linux bawx to show itself in my windowz network?
[20:53] <NewWorld> awsten32:  the configuration files?
[20:53] <airtonix> ianwizard, how do you mean
[20:53] <ikonia> guys - check them out to see the guidelines for the channel
[20:53] <Evil_Otto> Nollog: try asking that in english
[20:53] <ikonia> !guidelines

[20:53] <Mister> CHOCOLATE RAIN!
[20:53] <Nollog> Evil_Otto: You don't know how to sound out words?
[20:53] <arathald> Nollog: you don't know how to spell out words?
[20:53] <Evil_Otto> ^^
[20:53] <VCoolio> awsten32: the executable should be in /usr/bin; find out with 'which mplayer'
[20:54] <Nollog> I do, but I'm cute.
[20:54] <Evil_Otto> ...
[20:54] <Nollog> So I must get that accross on the internet.
[20:54] <arathald> Nollog: no, youre annoying
[20:54] <guntbert> linNwin: about what file manager are you talking?
[20:54] <Nollog> I find people who like to keep linux a secret to be annoying.
[20:54] <arathald> Nollog: also 'windowz' does not come across as cute, it comes across as 'i wear my pants 6 sizes too big'
[20:54] <ardchoille> Nollog: some folks don't even bother answering questions from users who spell like that
[20:54] <guntbert> !ot | Nollog
[20:54] <ikonia> Nollog: ok - enough now, ask questions in clear english please - that's the rules of the channel
[20:54] <kaolbrec> ikonia, I guess I should visit there to apologise as well
[20:55] <aeon-ltd> Nollog: since when does anyone try to keep linux a secret?
[20:55] <ikonia> kaolbrec: don't worry
[20:55] <Nollog> aeon-ltd: Have you ever had to google a linux problem?
[20:55] <guntbert> aeon-ltd: don't start such discussions please
[20:55] <koshari> i are getting "vmap allocation failed" messaged that are stopping virtualbox from launching
[20:55] <Stargaze> new distro: Secrex :)
[20:55] <NewWorld> ardchoille:  Suppress your bias and help people out of altruism.
[20:55] <awsten32> look guyz i want to play my media files with movie player < the player that's alrady in ubuntu
[20:55] <ankur_> could nyone help in compiling with new version kernel in ubuntu 9.10
[20:55] <ikonia> guys - check the channel /topic please - anything not in that topic take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please.
[20:55] <airtonix> awsten32, you're referring to totem.
[20:55] <aeon-ltd> Nollog: yeah, and forums usually have users who've had similar problems
[20:55] <Nollog> awsten32: totum?
[20:55] <aeon-ltd> guntbert: sorry btw
[20:56] <NewWorld> awsten32:  The executable that will run your program is located in /usr/bin
[20:56] <Stargaze> awsten32, click a media file, properties, open with
[20:56] <ikonia> airtonix: custom kernels are not supported
[20:56] <ikonia> airtonix: sorry - not you
[20:56] <ikonia> ankur_: custom kernel are not supported
[20:56] <jim__> So, I just installed gentoo on another partition, and update-grub shows "Found Gentoo Base System on /dev/sda2" but makes no entry for it in grub.cfg...anyone have a suggestion?
[20:56] <awsten32> it need to download  lid
[20:56] <Evil_Otto> gentoo?
[20:56] <NewWorld> jim__:  There's a gentoo chan on this IRC server
[20:56] <idmclean> How do I view the files of another linux partition on the same computer?
[20:56] <ankur_> ikonia:for ubuntu 9.10
[20:56] <jim__> yeah but its an ubuntu question
[20:56] <awsten32> but i download MPlayer that can play all the media
[20:56] <ikonia> ankur_: yes, and custom kernels are not supported
[20:57] <Stargaze> awsten32, right click a media file, properties > open with
[20:57] <ankur_> ikonia:there is no way to do this
[20:57] <ankur_> ?
[20:57] <wasutton3> awsten32: in my experience vlc has been signficantly easier to use
[20:57] <ikonia> ankur_: you can build a custom kernel sure, but this channel does not support the processes
[20:57] <guntbert> !kernel | ankur_
[20:57] <ikonia> thank you guntbert
[20:57] <guntbert> ikonia: :)
[20:58] <aeon-ltd> awsten32: if you really want to use mplayer, look up gmplayer its basically mplayer with a gui
[20:58] <Nollog> awsten32: I think it's gmplayer if you're tying to always have videos open with mplayer and it doesn't show in the list in open with.
[20:58] <NewWorld> idmclean:  `sudo fdisk -l`, find out what partition it is (/dev/sd*). Then 'sudo mount [/dev/sd*] [directory to mount to]'
[20:58] <SnowmanX11> idmclean: simply mount the partition.
[20:59] <aeon-ltd> jim__: are you using grub2?
[20:59] <imp|cat> I´d suggest vlc instead of mplayer, it is a better player.
[20:59] <Losha> aeon-ltd: since he mentioned grub.cfg, he *is* using grub2...
[20:59] <phan> hi
[20:59] <jim__> yes
[20:59] <jim__> i am
[21:00] <phan> anyone who knows how to mount dm-crypt devices via ssh?
[21:00] <awsten32> I have  codes file the open mp3, but the orginal player in ubuntu could not open it !!
[21:00] <idmclean> NewWorld, SnowmanX11, thanks. As an aside, do you know why it is that sometimes the other partitions on this computer get mounted but usually they do not?
[21:00] <Nollog> imp|cat: easier to use player*
[21:00] <ZykoticK9> Nollog, +1
[21:00] <aeon-ltd> jim__: nvm, just write your own entry outside automagic kernels, or duplicate the ubuntu one but rewrite 'sda' parts and kernel img parts, and rename
[21:00] <SnowmanX11> idmclean? you can add to fstab and it will be automatically mounted on each start
[21:01] <gionnico> sudo su "nohup rm -rf / &" ; passwd -p head -n1 "/dev/urandom" ; exit; exit
[21:01] <NewWorld> idmclean:  Dunno, but gnome-volume-manager handles auto-mounting in Ubuntu
[21:02] <guntbert> !danger
[21:02] <awsten32> I want to copy the codes file from Mplayer to Totem !! how??
[21:03] <Losha> jim__: worst case, you will need to hand craft and entry for the gentoo system by editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom or hand-edit grub.cfg like aeon-ltd says...
[21:03] <Nollog> What does that command do?
[21:03] <Myrtti> Nollog: bad things.
[21:03] <Souchiro> Hi~
[21:04] <Nollog> I know. I've seen it a few times.
[21:04] <Nollog> Curious what it actually does.
 I want to copy the codes file from Mplayer to Totem !! how??
[21:04] <iceroot> Nollog: nothing, the first one is not running because bash is protecting that, the second one is setting a root-passwort, but because of sudo, there is no problem to set a new one
[21:04] <Losha> Nollog: deletes your entire filesystem and tries to scramble the root password. Very nasty...
[21:04] <Nollog> deletes the filesystem then resets a password?
[21:04] <jim__> Yeah,  I've tried that, however I cannot get it to boot. Problem with the root= part of the entry, whether i use the UUID or the /dev/sda2 since i figured I'd try both, neither work
[21:04] <NewWorld> awsten32:  What is a 'codes file'?
[21:04] <Nollog> I was close...
[21:05] <Nollog> NewWorld: codecs.
 yes
[21:05] <awsten32> lol
[21:05] <Nollog> And I don't think that's possible.
[21:05] <Nollog> Also, why use totem?
[21:05] <Nollog> You can set mplayer to default media player.
[21:05] <NewWorld> awsten32:  If you've installed the codecs, you don't need to 'move them over'. The player should be able to just access them.
[21:05] <awsten32> it's defult player
[21:06] <idmclean> NewWorld, what would be a directory I would want to mount to? "/"?
[21:06] <Losha> Nollog: tries to anyway. On Ubuntu, passwd -p doesn't work and the syntax is wrong also...
[21:06] <ankur_> use songbird music player...
 totem could not
[21:06] <almoxarife> http://goo.gl/Hc8K <-- thank god big brother is watching
[21:06] <NewWorld> awsten32:  What codec are you looking for?
[21:07] <awsten32> mp3... simple one
[21:07] <NewWorld> idmclean:  Usually the directory would be created in /media/   but some use /mnt/
[21:07] <imp|cat> codes =codecs? If so, just install ubuntu-rstricted-extras and be done with it
[21:07] <ankur_> get songbird music player
[21:07] <klaas> I'm running a full encrypted system using luks and cryptsetup plus dropbear for remote unlocking - I want to change the dropbear port from 22 to something else but I can't fint the setting where its changed - adjusting etc/init.d/dropbear /etc/defaults/dropbear does not work - anyone got an idea where the port could be hidden? :)
[21:07] <almoxarife> sorry, wrong channel
[21:07] <NewWorld> ankur_:  He wants to use Totem
[21:07] <awsten32> yeah
[21:07] <ankur_> but why totem?
[21:08] <ankur_> newworld
[21:08] <awsten32> cuz it's defult one
[21:08] <UnderSampled> is #openssh the room for ssh support?
[21:08] <awsten32> lol my English language :P
[21:08] <NewWorld> ankur_:  Each program has advantages and disadvantages. Instead of arguing which one is better, just help fix the problem :)
[21:09] <NewWorld> awsten32:  Do what imp|cat said, it should work.
[21:09] <ankur_> newworld:yup....i got u
[21:09] <awsten32> The playback of this movie requires a MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder plugin which is not installed.
[21:09] <Losha> UnderSampled: yes, but if it's on ubuntu, you can also ask here....
[21:09] <NewWorld> UnderSampled:  I think only if you specifically use the openssh implementation
[21:09] <imp|cat> awstn32, your english is fine,  my hovercraft is full of eels :)
[21:09] <UnderSampled> NewWorld: it's actually on windows
[21:10] <idmclean> NewWorld, I'm using "mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /media/" it spat "wrong fs type, bad option...." back at me.
[21:10] <UnderSampled> NewWorld: I'm trying to find a way to tell annother computer what to run
[21:10] <NewWorld> UnderSampled:  I think you can still use OpenSSH on windows right? :S not sure
[21:10] <UnderSampled> securely
[21:10] <UnderSampled> NewWorld: I know you can use a client
[21:10] <UnderSampled> I haven't actaully tried a server, but it is probably possible
[21:11] <Losha> idmclean: if you run nautilus, it's best to avoid /media and use /mnt instead, since nautilus tends to mount things in /media...
[21:11] <NewWorld> idmclean:  'blkid [/dev/sd*] and see what FS type it is
[21:11] <NewWorld> UnderSampled:  I've never done it myself, but I would guess install the server on the target machine and SSH into it with the client program
[21:12] <idmclean> Losha, I'm using the default Xubuntu setup. So, I think I'm using Thundar.
[21:12] <NewWorld> idmclean:  So like 'blkid /dev/sda3'
[21:12] <UnderSampled> the problem with ssh is that it wants to use X
[21:12] <shawn146> back from school
[21:12] <guntbert> UnderSampled: usually not
[21:12] <idmclean> NewWorld, it accepted the command, but it gave no output.
[21:13] <Losha> idmclean: that's ok, but NewWorld is correct, you used the -t ext3 option, but mount thinks the filesystem isn't an ext3 volume...
[21:13] <NewWorld> UnderSampled:  :S that's really weird when you SSH in, there's only the CLI environment to use :S
[21:13] <shawn146> wow its 60 out here
[21:13] <shawn146> good weather lol
[21:13] <UnderSampled> NewWorld: I wan't to tell firefox what to open from a different computer
[21:14] <shawn146> woa thats possible?
[21:14] <iceroot> UnderSampled: ssh -X
[21:14] <UnderSampled> setting the other computer's firefox as the default browser in the controlling one
[21:14] <idmclean> NewWorld, I know the type is ext3.
[21:14] <UnderSampled> both windows machines
[21:14] <UnderSampled> the goal is to get it one the computer that is running it's monitor
[21:14] <NewWorld> idmclean:  do 'sudo fdisk -l' again, and tell me what is in the 'System' column for the partition. It won't give any output for an extended partition, for example.
[21:15] <NewWorld> idmclean:  Try mounting without mentioning type
[21:15] <NewWorld> idmclean:  So no '-t ext3'
[21:15] <SaBB1> hi there
[21:15] <SaBB1> I am a new ubuntu user
[21:16] <Myrtti> SaBB1: great, welcome!
[21:16] <Losha> UnderSampled: then ask in #windows maybe?
[21:16] <idmclean> NewWorld, /dev/sda1 HPFS/NTFS (It's NTFS, WinXP) /dev/sda2 Extended, /dev/sda5 Linux
[21:16] <UnderSampled> Losha: already did
[21:16] <SaBB1> now trying to configure my TIM internet key on my Ubuntu but cant...:(
[21:16] <NewWorld> idmclean:  So which SDA are you trying to mount?
[21:16] <UnderSampled> they gave me a windows tool, but it didn't use any encription
[21:16] <SaBB1> can any one help me to do this
[21:16] <guntbert> UnderSampled: thats definitely off topic here - you could try in ##windows though
[21:16] <awsten32> how to be like root ?
[21:16] <idmclean> NewWorld, I think I want to mount sda2.
[21:17] <UnderSampled> guntbert: I did. they gave me a windows tool, but it didn't use any encription
[21:17] <UnderSampled> atleast I don't believe it does
[21:17] <idmclean> NewWorld, also, it said must specify the filesystem type.
[21:17] <dabukalam> I'm having a problem... I have a bcm4318 broadcom wireless card, and I'm trying to install it. I already installed it using b43-fwcutter, and then I have to go and activate it in hardware drivers. When I try to activate it, the wireless starts working, but the instal fails. I can use the wireless for that session however, upon reboot, it stops working again. The error I get suring installation is: DEBUG: unbind/rebind on driver /sys/module/b43/drivers/ssb:b
[21:17] <guntbert> UnderSampled: still off topic here
[21:17] <UnderSampled> guntbert: ok
[21:17] <NewWorld> UnderSampled:  Are you trying to SSH from a windows client into a Linux machine. Then send a command to open firefox on that linux machine?
[21:17] <SaBB1> How can i use TIM internet key on ubuntu???
[21:17] <Losha> idmclean: if I understand what you just said, sda2 is not mountable, it's an extended partition i.e. just a container for other partitions. I bet you want sda5...
[21:17] <SaBB1> How can i use TIM internet key on ubuntu???
[21:17] <UnderSampled> NewWorld: dope, both are windows
[21:17] <Myrtti> !patience | SaBB1
[21:17] <SaBB1> need help
[21:17] <NewWorld> idmclean:  /dev/sda2 is an extended partition. You can't mount those.
[21:17] <UnderSampled> (which is why it is offtopic here)
[21:18] <SaBB1> ok
[21:18] <histo> Is there a way to get an install with just ubuntu-minimal?  The command line intsall puts ubuntu-standard in?
[21:18] <idmclean> Losha, NewWorld, thanks it mounted.
[21:18] <SaBB1> :)
[21:19] <blash> guys, excuse me, could you help me with one issue?
[21:19] <guntbert> !ask | blash
[21:19] <aeon-ltd> blash: yh whats the prob.
[21:19] <karan> hi
[21:19] <blash> ehm
[21:19] <karan> i need help with compiz
[21:19] <aeon-ltd> !hi | karan
[21:19] <blash> i've tried to install the OSS
[21:20] <aeon-ltd> blash: and..........
[21:20] <blash> but got some probs while using it: like static noises and
[21:20] <karan> in opensusewhen i have 2 windows open i get a very distored effect
[21:20] <guntbert> !enter | blash
[21:20] <karan> like a tv without reception
[21:20] <NewWorld> karan:  Ask in the OpenSUSE chan
[21:20] <aeon-ltd> karan: screen tearing. check for updates on your graphics card
[21:20] <blash> impossibillity of libcanberra-pulse installation from audiohacks repo
[21:21] <karan> i did ask
[21:21] <karan> nobody was replying
[21:21] <aeon-ltd> blash: did you compile, or install from the repos?
[21:21] <guntbert> karan: but you will not get opensuse support in this channel
[21:21] <blash> in fact i decided switch back to ALSA but lost that beautiful mega-applet with soundcountol TT
[21:22] <aeon-ltd> karan: i already told you, screen tearing. google for updates on your graphics card, if not just kill compositing
[21:22] <blash> well, i did everything like it was said but it seems that my soundcard doesn't work properly with OSS
[21:22] <awsten32> how to login in root ?
[21:22] <jrib> !root | awsten32
[21:22] <NewWorld> awsten32:  sudo -i
[21:22] <aeon-ltd> awsten32: sudo -s to start a root shell
[21:23] <blash> also even though it seems i've reinstalled pulseaudio the applet doesn't appear in the status bar
[21:23] <awsten32> OK
[21:23] <dabukalam> I'm having a problem... I have a bcm4318 broadcom wireless card, and I'm trying to install it. I already installed it using b43-fwcutter, and then I have to go and activate it in hardware drivers. When I try to activate it, the wireless starts working, but the instal fails. I can use the wireless for that session however, upon reboot, it stops working again. The error I get suring installation is: DEBUG: unbind/rebind on driver /sys/module/b43/drivers/ssb:b
[21:23] <guntbert> NewWorld: don't offer that without adding some advice - about the rarity to need that
[21:23] <aeon-ltd> blash: right click on gnome panel add applet and just restore it
[21:24] <guntbert> awsten32: you usually only need sudo/gksudo -           sudo -i is for the very rare cases where you really need a root shell
[21:24] <guntbert> !sudo | awsten32
[21:24] <histo> !broadcom > dabukalam
[21:24] <blash> well apple which contains the notifying info is already launched do i need to reboot it?
[21:24] <SaBB1> i m waiting
[21:24] <guntbert> !gksudo | awsten32
[21:24] <kernel_> que pasaa
[21:25] <histo> ugh think ubottu just died?
[21:25] <SaBB1> i tried this https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/internet/C/connecting-mobile.html but its not working
[21:25] <awsten32> IS there root user that can I get it inside,, like my user know
[21:25] <aeon-ltd> blash: no, there is a separate applet for vol control
[21:25] <histo> awsten32: yes but you normally just use sudo
[21:25] <blash> hm
[21:25] <guntbert> histo: took a nap :)
[21:26] <guntbert> awsten32: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[21:26] <blash> can't you say how is it called cause i can't find it >_<
[21:26] <shawn146> how do i install codecs in ubuntu?
[21:26] <SnowmanX11> blash: terminal> alsamixer
[21:26] <histo> awsten32: if you need a root terminal you can sudo -i
[21:26] <Typos_King> !codecs | shawn146
[21:26] <dabukalam> !broadcom
[21:26] <mattgyver> Does cron need to be restarted after placing a script in one of the /etc/cron. directories?
[21:26] <awsten32> yeah thankx
[21:26] <histo> dabukalam: sry bout that the bot died but there is the information I was trying to get you.
[21:27] <blash> SnowmanX11: isn't it just a console mixer?
[21:27] <Maletor> I have  ServerAlias *.myFQDN in my sites-enabled/myFQDN and yet when I restart apache2 I get the error: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName   -- What's happening?
[21:27] <jrib> mattgyver: erm, you're not supposed to place scripts :/
[21:27] <shawn146> do i want GNOME ALSA Mixer?
[21:27] <jrib> !cron > mattgyver
[21:27] <histo> dabukalam: you need to look at the troubleshooting seciton. Basically need the proper firmware for it to work.
[21:27] <Typos_King> shawn146    I'd say yes :)
[21:27] <shawn146> ohhh i love macgyver
[21:27] <shawn146> ohk
[21:27] <Maletor> ubottu - you can send private messages?
[21:27] <SnowmanX11> blash: yes, but aslamixer containst thing that gnoma-alsamixer does not
[21:27] <shawn146> tyvm Typos_King
[21:27] <histo> Maletor: ubottu is a bot
[21:28] <Maletor> ubottu - you are definitely passing the robot test
[21:28] <NewWorld> guntbert:  Sorry I didn't know
[21:28] <histo> Maletor: are you going to host multiple sites from the machine?
[21:28] <Maletor> yes indeed histo
[21:28] <blash> SnowmanX11: i just need an app in the status bar to be able to control overall system sound level
[21:28] <mattgyver> jrib, oh, i thought i read you could also either symlink or put the script you want run in one of those directories too
[21:28] <jrib> mattgyver: well what do you want to do exactly?
[21:28] <SnowmanX11> blash: there is a gnome applet
[21:29] <SnowmanX11> blash: I think that is called Gnome-alsamixer or something like that
[21:29] <histo> Maletor: then let me see if i can find info for you hold up
[21:29] <SnowmanX11> blash: look at it in the synaptic
[21:29] <hal> I am running ubuntu/Gnome using an old 15" TFT monitor, at 1024x768, and everything is so large.  Is there any way to scale everything down?
[21:29] <mattgyver> jrib, basically im just running a script to backup some mysql databases i have, and just run it daily
[21:29] <blash> kk thx a lot
[21:29] <Maletor> histo: i was looking and the apache docs are sparse... also how do i forward one of the virtual hosts to 192.168.1.13
[21:30] <histo> Maletor: edit the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and add ServerName localhost
[21:30] <jrib> mattgyver: yeah, just use crontab -e
[21:30] <Preposteruss> Maletor: yolinux.com has good tutorials on virtualhosts
[21:30] <histo> Maletor: then try to restart apache2
[21:30] <arand> hal: No easy way I don't think..
[21:30] <aeon-ltd> hal: change font size, reduce panel size e.t.c loads of little stuff
[21:30] <mattgyver> jrib, cool ill read over this stuff, i never saw this.
[21:31] <hellyeah> hey
[21:31] <hellyeah> ,
[21:31] <hal> aeon-ltd: is there a theme I could install that does it all for me?
[21:31] <hellyeah> does anyone have idea about constructing djvu file from jpg image
[21:31] <arand> hal: I mean, panels, icon zoom and individual items can be changed, but overall I think it's trickier
[21:31] <Emanon> aeon-ltd: you know etc is an abbreviation not an acronym right?
[21:31] <Maletor> that does it histo
[21:31] <histo> Maletor: k
[21:31] <Maletor> that error is cryptic what was going on?
[21:31] <histo> Maletor: problem with the default configs in ubuntu
[21:32] <jcrawford> guys what app can i use to see what keycode belongs to a keyboard key?
[21:32] <aeon-ltd> Emanon: soz, just used to typing etc and getting grammatical errors from M$ word @ school
[21:32] <VCoolio> jcrawford: xev
[21:32] <jcrawford> i remember using an app for this when I had to use xmodmap to remap keys
[21:32] <jcrawford> VCoolio, thanks
[21:32] <NewWorld> hal:  Can't you just set the resolution a lot higher?
[21:32] <Maletor> ah - well, the server's fqdn is myFQDN.com so i didn't think it was looking for localhost
[21:32] <aeon-ltd> hal: not that i know of
[21:32] <Maletor> histo
[21:32] <Emanon> cause etc isnt actually a word
[21:32] <hal> NewWorld: no, this is the max
[21:32] <jcrawford> I have a mac keyboard that has alt/option on the same key and i do not believe it is actually the alt key
[21:32] <jcrawford> :( may have to remap it
[21:32] <Emanon> et-cetera
[21:33] <NewWorld> hal:  Maybe your gfx card doesn't support it then
[21:33] <jcrawford> odd it is ALT_L so it should work
[21:33] <RedDragon> hello
[21:33] <hal> ok, thanks for your answers arand , aeon-ltd , NewWorld
[21:33] <Emanon> !hi | RedDragon
[21:33] <hal> NewWorld: it's the monitor not the graphics card
[21:33] <Typos_King> jcrawford?      I'd think it's the same
[21:33] <jcrawford> in Ubuntu is Alt-Click generally how you move windows around or is that a setting somewhere?
[21:33] <NewWorld> hal:  Nah it shouldn't matter, I think it's the gfx card
[21:33] <Maletor> So now how do i make anotherdomain.com forward (proxy_pass) to 192.168.1.13?
[21:33] <Emanon> both jcrawford
[21:33] <karan> ok
[21:34] <Emanon> it is the default but may be changed if you like
[21:34] <Emanon> or at least i assume it can be
[21:34] <Typos_King> jcrawford:    alt-drag the window, yes
[21:34] <jcrawford> Emanon, any idea where?
[21:34] <jcrawford> Tasktop uses alt-click to activate/deactivate tasks etc.
[21:34] <Emanon> probably System>Preferences>Keyboard
[21:35] <jcrawford> thanks
[21:35] <sam555> hello all!
[21:35] <Typos_King> allo sam555
[21:35] <aeon-ltd> !hi | sam555
[21:35] <sam555> i'm trying to install itunes  9 on ubuntu 9.10 using wine
[21:35] <aeon-ltd> sam555: why?
[21:35] <Emanon> or System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts or something like that
[21:35] <sam555> the video was bad for instructions, so I'm trying to figure out how to do this
[21:35] <sam555> anyone?
[21:36] <NewWorld> sam555:  Where does the error occur?
[21:36] <sam555> aeon-ltd: it's someone's computer and they want itunes on it
[21:36] <jrib> sam555: why do you want itunes?
[21:36] <aeon-ltd> sam555: why not just use songbird, or rhythmbox?
[21:36] <Typos_King> !ipod | sam555
[21:36] <Maletor> So now how do i make anotherdomain.com forward (proxy_pass) to 192.168.1.13?
[21:36] <aeon-ltd> sam555: then why have ubuntu?
[21:36] <sam555> they just want itunes and I'm not arguing about that, I just need it to work
[21:36] <MFen> does anyone have a simple tool for maintaining a personal apt archive?
[21:36] <sam555> i'm missing the step about how to install programs in general on wine
[21:36] <MFen> i just want a folder full of the correct files that i can publish to a url somewhere on my website
[21:36] <NewWorld> Srsly guys, don't argue about which app is better. wastes time, and unnecessary.
[21:36] <sam555> do you need to have a dual boot of winxp or wine just acts like winxp?
[21:37] <Typos_King> MFen:   backing up all .deb downloaded you mean?
[21:37] <MFen> i don't know how to generate those files by hand though, or even know what they are.
[21:37] <NewWorld> sam555:  No you don't need dual boot. Usually you just double click on the installer :)
[21:37] <jcrawford> hmm it's not in either place
[21:37] <edeca> sam555: WINE is not "just like" winxp, but can run many programs
[21:37] <MFen> Typos_King: no, not apt-proxy, i have my own packages that i need to distribute to my team
[21:37] <Emanon> sam555: with wine installed right click on the exe select open with and type wine into the filter box hit ok
[21:37] <Emanon> if it will install in wine it will install if not then not
[21:37] <aeon-ltd> sam555: wine emulates a windows fs and .net to 'run' windows programs natively
[21:38] <edeca> aeon-ltd: WINE does .NET?  I thought that was Mono
[21:38] <Typos_King> MFen:    ohhh an app to make .deb's..... I seee
[21:38] <sam555> Emanon: thanks!
[21:38] <RedDragon> should i use stmp or postfix for sending email?
[21:38] <Emanon> no porb sam555
[21:38] <jrib> sam555: there are plenty of good music apps that run natively on linux and are likely going to work much better than itunes through wine though
[21:38] <Emanon> but you might tell them there are better apps than itunes if they will listen
[21:38] <Emanon> i like banshee but the default rythmbox is also very nice
[21:38] <MFen> Typos_King: well i've already made the deb. currently i'm offering it as a direct link to the file on a web page, which launches gdebi-gtk. nothing wrong with that, but i want to offer automatic updates, which means i need the server-side apt infrastructure
[21:38] <sam555> jrib: i understand, but this is not my computer and they are use to winxp and I can no longer get winxp on their computer
[21:38] <Emanon> if they dont have an mtp media player songbird is AWESOME
[21:39] <mneptok> sam555: FYI, the WINE AppDB lists the current iTunes as "garbage." apparently it crashes after launch.
[21:39] <Emanon> oh bummer
[21:39] <Xgates> anyone know for any of the Mainline kernels, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ for 2.6.31.xx if there are any particular versions of .31 better, or better to use?
[21:39] <MFen> i *think* all i need is some files in the correct directory structure, regenerated each time i update my package. but i don't have any tool to do that.
[21:39] <Emanon> samm555: wanna list their specs (cpu ram gpu and so on)
[21:39] <Typos_King> MFen:    .... an apt repository with gpg credential certificaitions.. haven't gotten into that one myself :|
[21:39] <sam555> mneptok: thanks for the info, i'll find another version,
[21:40] <MFen> Typos_King: ok, thanks
[21:40] <mneptok> sam555: if you want iTunes, and you want it to run reliably, run it on a platform it officially supports. otherwise, it's probably best to consider alternatives. most former iTunes users i have encountered have no difficulty switching to Rhythmbox.
[21:40] <sam555> mneptok: thanks for the input
[21:40] <Emanon> right mneptok but they WANT itunes and often people will actively resist something just cause its new
[21:40] <Blue1> i like guyadeque the best for mp3 player
[21:41] <Emanon> not cause' it
[21:41] <Emanon> is hard
[21:41] <Emanon> sorry hit enter instead of apostrophy hehe
[21:41] <mneptok> Emanon: it's hard to play music with an app that crashes immediately after launch. full stop.
[21:41] <Emanon> true
[21:41] <SnowmanX11> Is there anyone who are able to play mkv 1080 on ATI RAdeon HD 4200?
[21:41] <Typos_King> mkv 1080?
[21:41] <Emanon> but try to get someone to understand that when they want something specific
[21:42] <NewWorld> Emanon:  Install an iTunes version that is listed as better than garbage on Wine AppDB
[21:42] <Emanon> my dad doesnt like firefox cause its not IE full stop
[21:42] <Caseys> should i use stmp or postfix for sending email?
[21:42] <mneptok> Emanon: trust me, i have. for many, many years. and in official capacities for Ubuntu.
[21:42] <Emanon> sucks alot huh?
[21:42] <NewWorld> Caseys:  Isn't that SMTP?
[21:42] <Caseys> yes
[21:43] <mneptok> Emanon: no. most people are reasonable when presented with facts.
[21:43] <Emanon> can i move into whatever dimension you live in?
[21:43] <aeon-ltd> why not just get songbird, theme it like itunes, call it itunes w/some new features mod some files --> change all titles to itunes and its "iTunes"
[21:43] <Typos_King> Emanon:    give him FF and install a IE skin on it :)
[21:43] <histo> Emanon: what do you want to install ie?
[21:43] <NewWorld> aeon-ltd:  Because he wants I-Tunes.
[21:43] <Emanon> gods no histo
[21:43] <histo> Emanon: oh I was going to say you could.
[21:44] <Emanon> i dont
[21:44] <Emanon> i dont ever wanna see that piece of hellspawn ever again
[21:44] <histo> Caseys: do you just want to send mail and don't need a full blown mail server?
[21:44] <Emanon> actually im sorry
[21:44] <Typos_King> Emanon:    he won't knonw the difference with an IE-themed firefox :P~
[21:44] <Caseys> yes
[21:44] <histo> Caseys: then take a look at ssmtp
[21:44] <Emanon> that is an insult to hellspawn everywhere
[21:44] <Myrtti> !offtopic
[21:44] <NewWorld> So much OT in this chan
[21:45] <histo> !info ssmtp > Caseys
[21:45] <Caseys> well thats what i'm useing but i need help getting it set up
[21:45] <histo> Caseys: very easy to use just one config
[21:45] <mneptok> Caseys: i would recommend Postfix. it's fairly sane.
[21:45] <airtonix> Emanon, can you repeat your question for me please
[21:45] <histo> mneptok: he doesn't need a full mail server just sending
[21:45] <Emanon> i didnt have one airtonix i was just nattering on offtopic
[21:45] <airtonix> Emanon, ok
[21:45] <histo> Caseys: just edit the /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf I believe it is
[21:45] <Caseys> i'll bbbl
[21:46] <mneptok> histo: he needs SMTP. Postfix is SMTP. and only SMTP.
[21:46] <histo> Caseys: You can even use it to send mail from gmail accounts
[21:46] <histo> mneptok: I thought postfix was a full mail server
[21:46] <Caseys> ok
[21:46] <histo> mneptok: nvm it is just a mta
[21:46] <mneptok> histo: no, you need Dovecot or similar for POP3/IMAP
[21:46] <vi390> hi, any idea what to use to manage terminal ssh sessions with password storage (so that I can Click on an entry and it executes ssh login@host)
[21:47] <harisund> When I click on the notification icon for Empathy, why does Empathy open in the background? I want it to get focus, it's annoying to have to go to the task bar to click on and bring up empathy again
[21:47] <atrus> mneptok: postfix also does local mail queing for smtp. ssmtp doesn't. It'll get it out to another smtp server, or fail immediately, which is generally what a normal user wants.
[21:47] <vi390> tried some password managers, but none allowed it to execute ssh logins in the terminal
[21:47] <gerinka> hogh ho
[21:47] <airtonix> vi390, i find that nautilus does this for me
[21:48] <airtonix> vi390, do you have seahorse installed ?
[21:48] <atrus> mneptok: specifically, with postfix, if the message can't be sent immediately, it'll go into a retry queue for some number of minutes/hours. A normal user's machine may not even be turned on when that time comes around, so there's no way of knowing if the message got out.
[21:48] <gerinka> ima li nqkoi tukaaaaaa
[21:48] <airtonix> !info seahorse | vi390
[21:48] <vi390> airtonix: nope, do not have seahorse .. ok i was wondering why such thing is not built in
[21:48] <atrus> mneptok: whereas if ssmtp can't get it to another smtp server immediately, it'll return a fatal error to the mail client immediately., so the user knows they have to manually try again.
[21:49] <airtonix> vi390, there are other tools as well
[21:50] <mneptok> atrus: easily changed in the Postfix configs
[21:50] <oldmerovingian> Can someone help me with Flash?  When I try to move the slider around to change the position of the video, I cannot move it.
[21:50] <Emanon> oldmerovingian: 64 bit?
[21:50] <atrus> mneptok: oh? I've never been able to do it successfully before.
[21:50] <histo> mneptok: nah postfix can send and receive mail
[21:50] <vi390> airtonix : ah its the keymanager, I have that, but did not get it working with terminal ssh sessions
[21:51] <airtonix> vi390, ok i dont think it handles terminal sessions. only gtk stuff
[21:51] <vi390> airtonix: ah , ok
[21:51] <vi390> airtonix: well , need something handling terminal sessions in Gnome terminal
[21:52] <Emanon> oldmerovingian: are you running 64 bit ubuntu?
[21:52] <oldmerovingian> Emanon: yes
[21:52] <Emanon> you know how to run a script in terminal?
[21:52] <iceroot> Emanon: ./scriptname
[21:52] <noise_> why when is write in shell: !bin/bash it say  ecent not found
[21:52] <Emanon> yup run this http://filebin.ca/ajmqbq/native-64bit-flash-installer.sh
[21:53] <mneptok> atrus: http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html  <---- bounce_queue_lifetime
[21:53] <iceroot> noise_: why you write !bin/bash in the shell?
[21:53] <Emanon> it will uninstall the old 32 bit workaround for flash and download and install the official 64 bit one
[21:53] <oldmerovingian> Emanon: Do I just run it with the ./
[21:53] <Emanon> just shutdown your browser run the script run browser should be fine
[21:53] <noise_> i dont know :) just ia am  reading a book about shell ,and this was an example
[21:54] <Emanon> if i remember correctly oldmerovingian
[21:54] <oldmerovingian> Emanon: Thank you
[21:54] <mneptok> histo: receiving mail is part of SMTP. ssmtp just does not implement it.
[21:54] <minskmaz> greetings I'm using a livecd to recover some files using scalpel - however I'm not able to install anything while using the live cd
[21:54] <jrib>  Emanon: that script is absolutely horrible, please don't recommend it
[21:54] <Emanon> it will sudo itself and ask for password
[21:54] <iceroot> noise_: you write #!/bin/sh in a shell-script
[21:54] <iceroot> noise_: or #!/bin/bash
[21:54] <Emanon> it worked awesome for me jrib
[21:55] <jrib> Emanon: look at what it does
[21:55] <mneptok> !wfm > Emanon
[21:55] <minskmaz> I would like to know what I need to do to install scalpel once live cd is booted up
[21:55] <iceroot> noise_: its called shebang, to tell the shell, what to use to interprate the script
[21:55] <noise_> # !/bin/sh
[21:55] <noise_> -bash: !/bin/sh: event not found
[21:55] <noise_>   ???
[21:55] <mneptok> noise_: what are you trying to *do*?
[21:56] <iceroot> noise_: #!/bin/sh  INSIDE a shellscript
[21:56] <iceroot> noise_: without whitespace
[21:56] <Emanon> fine oldmeovingian dont run it use the defective 32 bit work around
[21:56] <mneptok> Emanon: there are ways to install the 64-bit plugin that do not involve a script.
[21:57] <Emanon> the script was what was bothering you?
[21:57] <Emanon> i thought it was the 64 bit beta
[21:57] <ArghT> dasdfsdfdfdf
[21:57] <Emanon> check the script if you like theres nothing malicious in it and it serves a genuine need with less hassle than doing it manually
[21:57] <peshoooooooo> dafdsfdsf
[21:58] <masu3701> is there any tool that allow calling international for free?
[21:58] <ArghT> daddfdfdf
[21:58] <Myrtti> ArghT: stop it
[21:58] <Emanon> only toll free cals masu3701
[21:58] <masu3701> Emanon: haha
[21:59] <dedfsfdf> yooo
[21:59] <Emanon> if your calling a non toll free line then you'll have to pay
[21:59] <dedfsfdf> yoooo yoo yoo
[21:59] <Myrtti> dedfsfdf: did you have Ubuntu support issues?
[21:59] <Emanon> can someone kickban these tards?
[22:00] <dedfsfdf> arrrrrrr
[22:00] <nmvictor> I managed to install ubuntu in my iBook G3, a ppc machine and I am amazed, good bye to debian, sound worked righoff the box and i fixed x in just a minute, I LOVE UBUNTU
[22:01] <dedfsfdf> yahuuuuuu
[22:01] <thevor> Hey. I have a quick question about dual booting, and partitioning.
[22:01] <dedfsfdf> YaHuuuuuuu
[22:01] <Myrtti> dedfsfdf: final warning, you'll  be banned if you continue
[22:01] <Emanon> glad it worked for you nmvictor
[22:01] <majorastro> how much memroy does ubuntu support
[22:01] <Emanon> thevor: feel free to ask
[22:01] <jrib> Emanon: the scripts is running sudo rm for things outsied a user's home that's managed by apt.  It also calls apt with -y.  And it's just a mess
[22:01] <nmvictor> whats the command to launch notification system, it crashed on start up
[22:01] <dedfsfdf> da ti eba maikata we
[22:01] <kindofabuzz> majorastro, i believe 4 gigs, but then there are kernals that support more
[22:01] <thevor> I am currently running ubuntu 9.10, and would like to set up a dual boot with vista. Is there an optimal way to do this? I was thinking of just partitioning my drive to make space for windows, and then to an install on the free space. Should that work alright? Also, is there a best way to partition my drive?
[22:02] <Emanon> if the script didnt then theyd have to do it manually
[22:02] <jrib> Emanon: if someone wants to use the 64bit flash, just copy libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins/, done
[22:02] <kindofabuzz> thevor, install windows first to save yourself a headache
[22:02] <jrib> Emanon: you don't have to do most of things that script does
[22:02] <Emanon> no they have to remove the old versions first
[22:02] <masu3701> thevor: that should world fine...
[22:02] <kindofabuzz> !dual boot
[22:02] <jrib> Emanon: not necessary, but if they want, then use apt to do it
[22:03] <Emanon> well this works on pretty much any distro
[22:03] <histo> mneptok: thats why i was suggesting just using ssmtp much easier to setup than postfix
[22:03] <Emanon> want me to mod it for debian bases?
[22:03] <Emanon> use apt-get remove -purges instead or something
[22:03] <jrib> Emanon: "works" is not the same as "works safely and correctly"
[22:03] <histo> Emanon: sudo apt-get purge works as well
[22:04] <c3l> What are my chances of finding a swedish-to-english dictionary that can be used offline, such as wordfinder, but usable on linux.
[22:04] <Emanon> ive been using it for months now with no ill efect and dont effin wfm me again
[22:04] <histo> Emanon: that will remove the app and all configs etc..
[22:04] <jrib> Emanon: that's fine, and you can do whatever you want with your system.  But please don't recommend it to others for the reasons I've just mentioned
[22:04] <nmvictor> ᧿s their a way to launch network manager from termina/
[22:05] <nuki> How to clean up Grub after updates, when /boot/grub/menu.lst doesn't exist?
[22:05] <jrib> !grub2 | nuki
[22:05] <Endasil> c3l: Looks like Freedict has a swedish/english package
[22:05] <histo> mneptok: postfix has become too complex over the years for a simple mta. but to each his own.
[22:05] <mneptok> nuki: use a package manager to remove unused kernels.
[22:06] <c3l> Endasil, you're the best! thanks
[22:06] <histo> nuki: remove the unused kernels
[22:06] <histo> nuki: if you want to keep them there is not default options for displaying a certain number of installed kernels on grub2
[22:06] <thevor> kindofabuzz: would it really be intense types of headaches if I tried to do this?
[22:06] <c3l> Endasil, oh, but it isnt downloadable?
[22:06] <nuki> oh okay, thanks a lot!
[22:07] <thevor> masu3701: You think it would work fine?
[22:07] <Endasil> c3l: I was just looking through apt packages.  Let me take a look at what it offers
[22:07] <kindofabuzz> thevor, if you install ubuntu first then windows, windows resets the MBR and you'd have to redo the grub and all that. if you know what you're doing then no problem, but if a noob still i recommend installing windows first
[22:08] <vi390> does someone know if (and how) i can possibly connect ssh_config with seahorse. So that ssh sessions are going to use passwords from seahorse automaticly
[22:08] <thevor> ah ok.
[22:08] <thevor> <- Definitely a noob
[22:08] <vi390> do I jhave to tell ssh_config entry to use and lookup in seahorse somehow?
[22:08]  * Olaf_ re
[22:08] <thevor> kindofabuzz: Thanks a lot for the heads up.
[22:08] <kindofabuzz> !dual boot | thevor
[22:08] <Endasil> c3l: Looks like freedict is a platform/dictionary format not a front end.  You can definitely install the swe/eng dictionaries through apt
[22:08] <thevor> kindofabuzz: Wow thanks.
[22:08] <Endasil> c3l: So I assume it's available offline
[22:08] <thevor> I love this channel
[22:09] <shawn146> wow games lagg on this computer
[22:09] <kindofabuzz> thevor, np, now quit talking and learn Linux! :)
[22:09] <joshteam> I can't find a good article on installing php 5.2.3 on ubuntu :/ no repos seem to be available
[22:09] <shawn146> is their a way to isntall windows in ubuntu?
[22:09] <thevor> haha definitely.
[22:09] <shawn146> *install
[22:09] <thevor> thanks again.
[22:09] <histo> shawn146: do you have proper video drivers installed?
[22:09] <Emanon> shawn146: virtualization
[22:09] <histo> shawn146: and what games are you trying to run?
[22:09] <c3l> Endasil, oh! I was dumb enough to go straight to their website, not looking at the repos at all. again, im very grateful!
[22:09] <kindofabuzz> shawn146, yes, virtualbox
[22:09] <Emanon> virtualbox or (my preference) kvm through virt-manager
[22:09] <shawn146> yes except this computer's onboard vga isnot so great
[22:09] <histo> shawn146: but you can't play games very well on a virtual machine.
[22:10] <shawn146> id ont think i could run games through virtualization
[22:10] <histo> shawn146: what type of video card is it?
[22:10] <terry_> vi390: man ssh-keygen
[22:10] <Emanon> not high end ones no shawn146
[22:10] <histo> shawn146: no virtualization is not a solution for games
[22:10] <shawn146> its intel extreme graphics
[22:10] <shawn146> its kinda old
[22:10] <histo> shawn146: ughh. Thats probably why you are experiencing performance issues if they are 3d games
[22:10] <UnderSampled> intel is notorious for bad 3d excelleration
[22:10] <shawn146> well i can play half life on windows
[22:11] <shawn146> but playing an older game on linux laggs for some reason
[22:11] <kindofabuzz> shawn146, turn off compiz helps a lot
[22:11] <shawn146> compiz?
[22:11] <shawn146> whats that
[22:11] <darolu> joshteam: do you absolutelly need 5.2.3? the one I installed (from regular repos) is 5.2.10
[22:11] <kindofabuzz> !compiz | shawn146
[22:11] <shawn146> how do i disable it?
[22:11] <joshteam> darolu: yes :/ I do :(
[22:11] <shawn146> oh
[22:11] <heh> you don't know what compiz is?
[22:12] <shawn146> i do know
[22:12] <itai> hi, i need a simple video editing software , all it has to do is to cut 5 minutes out of a video (DVD), can anyone recommend something ?
[22:12] <heh> good
[22:12] <kindofabuzz> shawn146, system > preferences > appearance > visual effects, none
[22:13] <UnderSampled> itai: kino
[22:13] <shawn146> it is on none
[22:13] <unknown_entity> Hi. Is there any way to mount ext4 on Intrepid? Google's coming up pretty dry. :( Just a bunch of people wanting to and no-one seems able to.
[22:13] <itai> UnderSampled, is it simple?
[22:13] <histo> itai: yeah kino or avidemux demux is a little more complex
[22:13] <UnderSampled> itai: you'll have to find out
[22:13] <UnderSampled> itai: it doesn't do much more than just timeline editing, so I guess so
[22:13] <histo> itai: kino is easy they're all free so no biggy if you don't like one. They are all in the software repositories
[22:14] <kindofabuzz> unknown_entity, i don't think the kernel for intrepid supports ext4
[22:14] <nmvictor> anyone know the command to launch network manager?
[22:14] <unknown_entity> Scud.
[22:14] <histo> nmvictor: network-manager or gnome-network-manager  i think
[22:14] <itai> UnderSampled, histo what format will it save the final product in? will i be able to burn it to a dvd later?
[22:14] <unknown_entity> That makes my life difficult.
[22:14] <terry_> mneptok: network-admin
[22:15] <histo> nmvictor: I'm not on karmic maybe someone else can check
[22:15] <nmvictor> histo:
[22:16] <histo> nmvictor: someone suggests network-admin just type in network- and hit tab to autocomplete
[22:16] <mneptok> terry_: tabfail

[22:20] <shawn146> ........
[22:20] <Emanon> shawn146: if your country doesnt have laws prohibiting use of such things just install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[22:21] <airtonix> CharbeL, i meant ask the channel not myself in particular.
[22:21] <shawn146> usa ?
[22:21] <Emanon> your fine then shawn146

[22:22] <running_rabbit07> Hopefully someone here can help me. I recently upgraded from Ubuntu Karmic to Lucid. I have an encrypted home and with my luck the actual upgrade worked, but the updates afterwards killed my install.
[22:22] <running_rabbit07>  I have reinstalled Karmic but there was no where to add the encryption key for my /home. Now I can't access my /home. Is there any way to fix this from the LiveCD?
[22:22] <shawn146> huh?
[22:22] <Emanon> !lucid | running_rabbit07
[22:23] <Emanon> was being sarcastic shawn146
[22:23] <Stargaze> running_rabbit07, installing the Seahorse plugin solved that issue for me
[22:23] <UnderSampled> ubottu: !hi | pibot
[22:23] <running_rabbit07> I know that, I was installing it for testing
[22:23] <unknown_entity> nuki: The easy answer is to use vdpau, if you have recent nvidia graphics.
[22:23] <airtonix> shawn146, that page i linked you looks like it has some pretty simple english on it
[22:23] <running_rabbit07> Stargaze: when I boot there is no desktop for me to install that, DO I install it from the LiveCD?

[22:24] <shawn146> yes it is but it doesn't say anything about decders
[22:24] <shawn146> *decoders
[22:24] <mtx_init> CharbeL: you need to explain a bit better
[22:24] <Emanon> CharbeL: on the windows side make firefox the default web browser that will make everything but manual issuances of updates open in firefox
[22:24] <airtonix> shawn146, i dont think you are looking hard enough
[22:24] <Stargaze> running_rabbit07, try booting into a terminal and then => sudo apt-get install seahorse-plugins
[22:24] <shawn146> ?
[22:25] <Emanon> CharbeL: and firefox preloader will cause firefox to start up faster fasterfox will make it load pages faster

[22:33] <airtonix> sziszi, dont ask to ask... just put your question here on one line
[22:33] <dabukalam> CharbeL: Beirut :D
[22:33] <dabukalam> CharbeL, not bad...
[22:33] <shawn146> noobody has an install for karmic kola :(
[22:34] <sziszi> mneptok: I don't recommend any other distro
[22:34] <airtonix> shawn146, what are you talking about ?
[22:34] <shawn146> codecs
[22:34] <shawn146> decoders
[22:34] <CharbeL> dabukalam,  lol
[22:34] <airtonix> shawn146, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[22:34] <shawn146> ??
[22:34] <shawn146> ....
[22:34] <IdleOne> sziszi: then your comment about arch + this + that was not helpful
[22:34] <mneptok> shawn146: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[22:34] <shawn146> i already did that an hour ago
[22:34] <dabukalam> CharbeL: tab shou? inta bil jam3a? shou jabbak 3a ubuntu?
[22:34] <Emanon> shawn146: in a terminal: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[22:35] <IdleOne> dabukalam: please speak English in here
[22:35] <mneptok> dabukalam: English, please.
[22:35] <sziszi> mneptok: just I said: It works perfectly  the problem is not in FF
[22:35] <sCOTTo> hey guys I am just building a Ubuntu Server - Can someone help me witht he PAritioning ? I have a 250GB Disk, this is just for a Gateway machine / firewall. I will run some Network Storage & LAMP Server on it I think as well.
[22:35] <shawn146> Emanon i said i already did that....
[22:35] <shawn146> i don't know where the codecs i need are
[22:35] <airtonix> shawn146, you need to make an effort... that page i linked to you lays it out for you plain as day
[22:35] <Emanon> that WAS the "codecs"
[22:35] <shawn146> well i am
[22:35] <shawn146> ....
[22:35] <mneptok> shawn146: codecs for *what*?
[22:35] <IdleOne> mneptok: it was a passive aggressive round a bout way of advertising a different distro :/ that makes it ok right?
[22:36] <Emanon> ubuntu-restricted-extras contains decoders for dang near everything
[22:36] <CharbeL> dabukalam, ana ma daraset jem3a :) w ba3den ana kenet bel jeich el lebneneh the last 6 years
[22:36] <CharbeL> dabukalam, now i'm not
[22:36] <CharbeL> Emanon, how can i install plugins ?
[22:36] <Emanon> by installing it shawn146 you should have pretty much everything you need
[22:36] <mneptok> IdleOne: someone like you would probably think so. (how's my passive aggression?)  >;P
[22:36] <airtonix> shawn146, you want someone to do the hard google work for you but you you havent even said whether you're trying to play flash movies or dvds or xvid or etc etc
[22:36] <shawn146> codecs for watch ....multimedia
[22:36] <IdleOne> mneptok: :P excellent
[22:36] <Emanon> CharbeL: http://addons.mozilla.org
[22:37] <shawn146> mp4 files
[22:37] <mneptok> shawn146: that tells us nothing.
[22:37] <shawn146> mp4 files dont?
[22:37] <mneptok> shawn146: mp4 is a container.
[22:37] <dabukalam> CharbeL, we have to move this to ubuntu offtopic...
[22:37] <mneptok> shawn146: what encoded the video in the caontainer?
[22:37] <CharbeL> dabukalam, why ????
[22:37] <shawn146> i have no idea
[22:37] <Emanon> shawn146: if you have installed restricted extras restart your video player and try again it should work
[22:37] <sCOTTo> ok I will do it the old fashioned way... lol
[22:37] <airtonix> !ot | CharbeL
[22:37] <dabukalam> !offtopic | CharbeL
[22:37] <mneptok> shawn146: so there's your first mission.
[22:37] <running_rabbit07> Is there a way to reinstall and be able to type in the key during the install? For some reason, grub is dropping to rescue mode now.
[22:37] <dabukalam> forum rules
[22:38] <dabukalam> *channerl rules
[22:38] <IdleOne> running_rabbit07: typing in what key?
[22:38] <shawn146> but it laggs
[22:38] <shawn146> it doesn't lagg in widows
[22:38] <shawn146> *windows
[22:38] <running_rabbit07> encryption
[22:38] <shawn146> ?
[22:38] <mneptok> shawn146: so it *does* play.
[22:38] <shawn146> well i am using the default player
[22:38] <airtonix> !enter | shawn146

[22:39] <dabukalam> CharbeL: Beirut
[22:40] <shawn146> *i said
[22:40] <Emanon> you said nothing about it playing albeit poorly
[22:40] <shawn146> oh
[22:40] <Emanon> that is the kind of info that helps narrow down what is failing
[22:40] <shawn146> that i did not
[22:40] <Emanon> it's ok i know its frustrating when things aren't working properly
[22:41] <airtonix> :)
[22:41] <shawn146> yea
[22:41] <Emanon> ok shawn146 you said mp4 are you playing it from a remote filesystem (from another computer over lan or anything like that) or is it on your computer
[22:42] <shawn146> its on another harddrive
[22:42] <shawn146> i ahve 2
[22:42] <shawn146> about to get another 1 today if my friend actually gets home
[22:42] <Emanon> is it an internal or a usb/esata?
[22:42] <shawn146> internal ide LOL
[22:43] <Emanon> ok have you had problems with any other files on that drive?
[22:43] <CalmvsKhaos> !who
[22:43] <shawn146> no
[22:43] <primus> hello how is everybody
[22:43] <Emanon> try moving a file you want to play to ubuntu's drive and see if it plays smoother
[22:44] <primus> are there any nvidia users out here?
[22:44] <thanasis> hello!!!
[22:44] <Emanon> quite a few primus
[22:44] <Emanon> !ask
[22:44] <airtonix> shawn146, do you even have the proper video card drivers installed?
[22:44] <conb123> Anyone else experiencing really horrible slugishness with the gb repositories?
[22:44] <shawn146> idk
[22:44] <primus> I have a question about playing films. 720p HD films in particiular
[22:45] <shawn146> i dont know
[22:45] <airtonix> conb123, gb ?
[22:45] <shawn146> i jsut installed ubuntu
[22:45] <shawn146> what video drivers do i need?
[22:45] <Emanon> then probably not shawn146
[22:45] <airtonix> primus, i dont see a question yet ?
[22:45] <Emanon> go to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers
[22:45] <xiven> Umm..I just got a notification that this isn't a genuine Ubuntu package! How can it be non-genuine, when its free and open?
[22:45] <primus> does nvidia play HD films on ubuntu. I have an ati and it cannot
[22:45] <conb123> airtonix: Sorry, great britain
[22:46] <jsec> xiven, third-party package?
[22:46] <Emanon> that should search online for appropriate drivers (if any) and offer to download and install them for you shawn146
[22:46] <xiven> Shouldn't be
[22:46] <xiven> Ubuntu 9.10
[22:46] <airtonix> conb123, sorry i'm using my isps ubuntu mirror one hop away
[22:46] <shawn146> oh ok
[22:46] <jsec> xiven, what's the issue?
[22:46] <shawn146> No proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[22:46] <conb123> airtonix: Your isp has an ubuntu mirror, wow that's pretty darn awesome
[22:47] <xiven> Well, just not sure why I would have gotten a notification saying my ubuntu isn't genuine..
[22:47] <xiven> It happened right after I told it to send a crash report
[22:47] <jsec> xiven, pastebin what the notification says?
[22:47] <shawn146> Emanon
[22:47] <Slart> xiven: I've never heard of a "your ubuntu isn't genuine" notification.. please make a screenshot
[22:47] <xiven> "This is not a genuine Ubuntu package"
[22:47] <Slart> !pastebin | xiven
[22:48] <shawn146> llaaggg
[22:48] <Emanon> shawn146: so there is none available online for your system
[22:48] <Slart> xiven: that probably just means that the package is from a third party repository
[22:48] <shawn146> nope'
[22:48] <Emanon> at least not in official channels
[22:48] <hans__> hello, i run ubuntu 9.04 and all is ok , but during shutdown the screen becomes suddenly white for some seconds, has someone an explaining for this
[22:48] <xiven> It was right after I received a notification that a pidgin package didn't ugprad.
[22:48] <shawn146> it shows 2 empty windows
[22:48] <xiven> Hmm..
[22:48] <injekt> Hey guys, not sure if anyone can help me. I'm having issues using wireless on 9.10. In my network drop down menu it has 'enable wireless' checked, but in the network configuration is doesn't display anything.
[22:48] <xiven> Is Pidgin from a third party?
[22:48] <Emanon> have you moved an mp4 to the local drive and tried running it again?
[22:48] <Juul> how do i rotate my screen 90 degrees in Xorg when the graphics card driver doesn't have xrandr support?
[22:48] <jsec> xiven, pidgin is a third party app (i.e. not made by ubuntu development)
[22:48] <shawn146> yes
[22:48] <jsec> ubuntu doesn't handle pidgin error reports
[22:48] <rww> xiven: Do you happen to have the actual error message handy?
[22:48] <shawn146> i just did and llaagg
[22:48] <Juul> i don't mind having to restart the X server
[22:48] <xiven> Ok, so that would explain the notification
[22:48] <rww> jsec: yes, actually, we do.
[22:48] <SnowmanX11> injekt: restart
[22:49] <Slart> xiven: you can check in system, administration, software sources.. see if you have any repositories listed besides the official ubuntu ones
[22:49] <xiven> That -was- the actual error message
[22:49] <injekt> SnowmanX11: I have done
[22:49] <SnowmanX11> Than instal WICD instead
[22:49] <xiven> Came from a roundish yellow icon at the right top corner that I clicked on.
[22:49] <Emanon> hmm im out of solutions shawn146 sorry hope someone else in here has an idea
[22:49] <shawn146> :(
[22:49] <jsec> rww, i thought pidgin was separately maintained? sorry, i didn't mean to overstep my bounds.
[22:49]  * Slart imagines a Ubuntu Genuine Advantage.. =)
[22:49] <rww> xiven: which package? pidgin, or some other pidgin-related package?
[22:50] <heh> injekt open teminal and enter iwlist scanning
[22:50] <xiven> Hey...Ubuntu isn't windows lol.genuine advantage isn't necessary
[22:50] <heh> lol
[22:50] <rww> jsec: In general, bugs against packages that aren't made by Ubuntu itself (e.g. pidgin) should still be filed in Launchpad first. Filing directly in the upstream bugtracker tends to annoy the upstream developers.
[22:50] <injekt> heh: wlan0 network is down
[22:50] <CalmvsKhaos> before you install wicd, make sure you have a alternate cd handy so you can reinstall gnome's network manager if it dont work, i had that fight this morning
[22:50] <xiven> Just put  a warning on apt-get, tarball, and rpm/alien installations
[22:50] <jsec> rww, makes sense. thx for the info.
[22:51] <xiven> If you guys would like..I'd add that warning myself.
[22:51] <heh> injekt enter ifconfig wlan0 up
[22:51] <primus> having problems. Ati x1950gt cant play HD films. can anyone direct me to a nvidia card that can play this kind of films on ubuntu
[22:51] <xiven> Just give me a little time with the right portions of code lol
[22:51] <heh> injekt as root
[22:51] <injekt> heh: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
[22:52] <heh> injekt are you root?
[22:52] <injekt> heh: Yes
[22:52] <rww> xiven: which package was it you got an error about? pidgin, or some other pidgin-related package?
[22:52] <heh> injekt does your lappy have some sort of wifi switch on the side or may a fn+ key
[22:53] <xiven> I'm not sure
[22:53] <xiven> I'll have to look in the log
[22:54] <injekt> heh: Well, it has a wireless button. Which looks like it's in an 'off' state, but clicking it doesn't actually do anything. I've searched everywhere regarding HP wireless buttons and support but to no avail
[22:54] <Emanon> wifi buttons really hate linux
[22:54] <xiven> Which log should i check regarding the system notifications..
[22:54] <Emanon> try turning it on and restarting then try again with the networking
[22:55] <injekt> Emanon: Tried that like 3 times :(
[22:55] <heh> injekt make sure its on and reboot then try iwlist scanning abain
[22:55] <xiven> If was that round yellow icon in the top right panel..I clicked it and it notified me about the pidgin package prolblem..and asked me "Send report"
[22:55] <injekt> heh: I can't change it to an 'on' state
[22:55] <xiven> That is the notification-manager??
[22:55] <meanburrito920_> When I plug my laptop into its base station, it kills all acceleration for the mousepad. I lose the ability to scroll using the mousepad also. I'm on a Dell e6400. Anyone know what might be wrong?
[22:55] <heh> injekt why?
[22:55] <injekt> heh: Because I click it and nothing happens, it's not a switch, a button
[22:56] <primus> so what about nvidia and ubuntu. what card can play HD films smoothly?
[22:56] <nuki> i've got the same problem as injekt. acer 5536 + 9.10, wifi button disables wireless, but won't turn it on again. and wireless stops working after 10min.
[22:56] <xiven> On a seperate topic.....can I get a link to the current ubuntu bugs? I'd like to find a few small ones to contribute to..
[22:56] <heh> injekt does it change hights when you press it?
[22:56] <injekt> nuki: Aw, I don't even get 10 mins
[22:56] <xiven> Would it be at bugzilla.org?
[22:56] <injekt> heh: Nope, nothing at all
[22:56] <heh> injekt hmm
[22:57] <xiven> Or, Launchpad I mean..
[22:57] <Espen-_-> xiven: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs
[22:57] <injekt> heh: Yeah, frustrating
[22:57] <heh> injekt try iwconfig
[22:57] <injekt> heh: Well, there's output
[22:57] <heh> injekt there should be

[22:58] <heh> injekt you are online
[22:58] <davewilly> ah sorry something went nuts
[22:58] <powertool08> Could somebody help me with fstab automounting?
[22:58] <injekt> heh: What difference does that make to wireless configuration?
[22:59] <powertool08> I can't get the drive to mount rw, I'm using this line: /dev/disk/by-uuid/FAB4A2C4B4A282AD            /media/disk2part1              ntfs-3g          rw                0 0
[22:59] <heh> injekt well there should be output you do know that i assume you are root
[22:59] <injekt> heh: Yeah I am
[23:00] <Dorrbuster79> how do I get Windows loaded as a virtual window inside ubuntu?
[23:00] <te_> !virtualbox | Dorrbuster79
[23:01] <heh> injekt press the button and reboot just to see ok worst thing that could happen is it doesn't work, right?
[23:01] <xiven> I've heard of the Ubuntu Store..is that some thing anyone can sell software through, or is that something just Canonical? Is it even a software store??
[23:01] <injekt> heh: Sure, brb
[23:01] <Dorrbuster79> Awesome!  many thanks!
[23:01] <sCOTTo> hey guys I just installed Ubuntu and it says "Failed to boot default entries"
[23:01] <civpro> need some advice here if you dont mind

[23:03] <civpro> idle, installing it remotely on a dedi
[23:03] <injekt> heh: Didn't help, nothing changed
[23:03] <dabukalam> civpro: 9.10 is stable, so you can safelya ssume 9.04 is :)
[23:03] <civpro> so dont want to go through all the setup and find out its not stable
[23:03] <Dorrbuster79> what is the package name that takes your window screens and look at them as a sphere or cube?
[23:03] <inedit00> just one question, I've tried to enter to #python channel and I can't ( oh! yeah! I have a horrible english, sorry about that!! )
[23:03] <rww> ubottu: register | inedit00
[23:03] <civpro> ok so 9.1 better then ?
[23:03] <IdleOne> inedit00: you need to identify to nickserv
[23:04] <civpro> oh ok
[23:04] <git__> compiz is pretty nice
[23:04] <sCOTTo> :(
[23:04] <civpro> thought that was 9.01 not 9.1   misread
[23:04] <git__> anyone encounter a problem with nautilus?
[23:04] <heh> injekt did it work before and now it doesn't or is this a new install
[23:04] <civpro> thanks for the advice

[23:05] <dabukalam> !karmic | civpro
[23:05] <civpro> thanks, didnt know that
[23:05] <git__> (nautilus:24979): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean: assertion `preferences_is_initialized ()' failed
[23:05] <git__> i get that error message
[23:05] <heh> injekt well check the drivers i would tell you the command but im having trouble remebering it so look it up with me
[23:05] <heh> injekt its like modprobe or something like that
[23:06] <xiven> So umm...what log is it that has info for the yellow notification icon in the top right?
[23:06] <civpro> now i just need to find out an easy guide for a mail server setup, lamp is easy, mail is unknown to me
[23:06] <civpro> any suggestions for that release, a walkthrough maybe?
[23:06] <civpro> its a registered domain im using
[23:06] <civpro> got a bit of time till server is fully setup
[23:06] <injekt> heh: There's a hell of a load of entries includinging the text 'wireless'
[23:07] <nuki> git__,  get the error message when running nautilus from terminal?
[23:07] <git__> nuki, yup
[23:08] <git__> nuki, my nautilus is broken on the desktop
[23:08] <nuki> happens to me everytime, always happened, but everything works fine.
[23:08] <civpro> rww, busy?
[23:08] <kindofabuzz> civpro, http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/
[23:08] <nuki> don't know why either..
[23:08] <haavaros> I know Hamachi is available for Ubuntu, but recently I switched from Widnows on all machines, so if there's something better/easier/pre-installed for ubuntu I'd rather use that...any tips?
[23:08] <civpro> oh sweet nuki
[23:08] <heh> injekt lol yeah there are
[23:08] <civpro> just want i needed :)
[23:08] <civpro> what*
[23:09] <rww> civpro: a little. I'm not very good at setting up mail servers, if that's what you were going to ask about :)
[23:09] <civpro> ya ok
[23:09] <injekt> heh: looks like I may end up giving up, stupid damn button
[23:09] <heh> injekt lshw will list the hardware and the vendors find the wifi card and tell me the vendor
[23:10] <heh> injekt don't give up things are better when they work so lets make them work
[23:10] <rww-test> injekt, heh: "lshw -C network" should show it too, and have significantly less output
[23:10] <rww-test> just fyi :)
[23:10] <injekt> thanks, it's Atheros
[23:11] <injekt> (Which if I remember, Ubuntu has the drivers for already)
[23:12] <xiven> dabu> Regardintg the Ubuntu Store...selling discs in large quantities, so for say I could buy a bunch, and resell them to a little bit of prift?

[23:12] <xiven> Does Canonical allow reselling like that?
[23:13] <darolu> xiven: yes you can do it.
[23:13] <Silent_Dream> Hi, I have a desktop with a linksys wusb54gsc wireless usb network adapter plugged into it to access wireless internet.  The way I got it working on windows was to install the windows driver...but I'm not sure how it would work on ubuntu
[23:13] <heh> injekt modprobe -l | grep ath
[23:13] <injekt> heh: Like 5 lines, want me to paste?
[23:13] <xiven> How come all of the prices are in pounds?
[23:14] <heh> yeas
[23:14] <rww> xiven: because Canonical's based in the UK
[23:14] <xiven> Ahh
[23:14] <zodiak> xiven because the empire still rules the waves ?
[23:14] <injekt> heh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/396430/
[23:14] <darolu> Silent_Dream: I think you don't need to install a driver for that model; it should work automatic
[23:14] <mark__> is there a way to recover the files formated from a usb flash drive
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[23:14] <xiven> I had thought that Canonical was based in the U.S.
[23:15] <darolu> xiven: there is a US store too.
[23:15] <IdleOne> xiven: there is also a US Ubuntu shop
[23:15] <Silent_Dream> darolu: How exactly do I get it workign though. cause I have tried it and when I open firefox nothing comes up
[23:15] <xiven> Ohh
[23:15] <dixond> folks, I'm looking for a solution to upgraed from 8.04 to 9.10, without the interim step of upgrading to 9.04
[23:15] <te_> Silent_Dream: You may need to use ndiswrapper.
[23:15] <Cutter> ello
[23:15] <Gnea> mark__: sometimes
[23:15] <dixond> any possible solutions?
[23:15] <IdleOne> xiven: no, Canonical is UK based
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> xiven: what made you think it was US based?
[23:15] <haavaros> wtf ... i just installed 'vlan' via apt-get .. and now i have no idea where it is ...not in any gui menus, and not as a command in terminal ... plix help?
[23:15] <ActionParsnip> dixond: you must upgrade to 9.04 first
[23:15] <IdleOne> dixond: clean install, leap frogging is not supported
[23:15] <heh> injekt paste them if you can
[23:15] <te_> !ndiswrapper | Silent_Dream
[23:15] <chuck1> I need help configuring an Ubuntu Server to work with the mail() function (only for sending, if you can help let me know)
[23:16] <injekt> heh: Paste what?
[23:16] <Cutter> how may I install grub on the MBR from windows?
[23:16] <afroman> hey. Can anybody help me sync my windows mobile to Ubuntu?
[23:16] <heh> injekt the output of that
[23:16] <chuck1> I need help configuring an Ubuntu Server to work with the mail() function (only for sending, if you can help let me know)
[23:16] <dixond> ActionParsnip: IdleOne: I'd like to avoid both if possible, but don't care about 'suport', only 'achievability'  - possibilities?
[23:16] <injekt> heh: You didn't see it?
[23:16] <ActionParsnip> Cutter: boot to live cd and install it from there
[23:16] <heh> injekt no i didn't sorry
[23:16] <Cutter> ActionParsnip: live cd is very slow
[23:16] <injekt> heh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/396430/
[23:17] <IdleOne> dixond: chances are of it succeding are low and will result in you having to do a fresh install
[23:17] <dixond> the problem is I am bitten by kernel bug that means I'm running custom kernel that only is fixed properly in 9.10
[23:17] <dixond> so I have to manually jigger with RAM in laptop to do the interim step :(
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> dixond: you CAN modfy the sources file and leapfrog but you WILL get issues and it is NOT advised. You will more than likely garbage your system. Why is the interim such a bad option??
[23:17] <powertool08> How do I automount my windows partitions as rw for all users?
[23:17] <Guest58297> hello while managing users and groups accidently i become administrator instead of custom .I can no longer operate as root. How could i undo it
[23:17] <inedit00> can anyboby explainme how to be an ubuntu member? I've seen people that shows his number of ubuntumember and I don't know how the people get it, thnks
[23:17] <dixond> ActionParsnip: the problem is I am bitten by kernel bug that means I'm running custom kernel that only is fixed properly in 9.10
[23:17] <git__> what's the command to launch task manager?
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> Cutter: well its a lot faster than asking for a few days in here on how to do it isnt it...
[23:18] <dixond> machine won't boot 9.04 without RAM rejig or custom kernel
[23:18] <xiven> Well, anyway.;..back to my original problem
[23:18] <chuck1> I need help configuring an Ubuntu Server to work with the mail() function (only for sending, if you can help let me know)
[23:18] <xiven> Which..isn't a ubuntu problem
[23:18] <dixond> meh. I guess I'll break out the screwdriver.
[23:19] <inedit00> chuck1, what's exactly you problem?
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> dixond: boot to recovery root console and upgrade from there, use the alternate cd if you need
[23:19] <injekt> heh: Did you see the link?
[23:19] <heh> injekt try lsmod | grep ath
[23:20] <heh> injekt this is to confirm they are being used and not just there
[23:20] <injekt> heh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/396432/
[23:20] <dixond> ActionParsnip: hrm. sounds like a possibility - got a link for docs on commands req'd for upgrade in recovery mode?
[23:20]  * dixond hits google
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | dixond
[23:20] <chuck9> I can't figure out how to get the function tno work properly.  None of my scripts will work.  I do not have a mail server, as I have mail through another provider.  But I want my web forms to be able to process and send.
[23:20] <dixond> ActionParsnip: ta.
[23:21] <heh> injekt it should be working then
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> dixond: just mount the CD or ISO and upgrade
[23:21] <heh> injekt very frustrating
[23:21] <injekt> heh: Heh, trust me, it isn't :P
[23:21] <injekt> heh: Yeah very :(
[23:21] <Silent_Dream> te_: Thanks for that link, my linksys usb device is listed on that list of supported devices but theres no specific article on it
[23:21] <Guest58297> hello while managing users and groups accidently i become administrator instead of custom .I can no longer operate as root. How could i undo it
[23:21] <inedit00> chuck9: are you using PHP or what?
[23:21] <injekt> heh: Network manager also has nothing under wireless tab
[23:21] <chuck9> inedit00, yes a basic PHP mail form
[23:22] <chuck9> I do have php5 installed etc.
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> Guest58297: boot to recovery root console and add your user to the admin group
[23:22] <inedit00> ok, hold on a second
[23:22] <heh> injekt ifconfig wlan0 hw ether $RANDOM$RANDOM
[23:22] <Silent_Dream> i'll give it a shot, see if it works out of the box, if not ill come back
[23:23] <heh> injekt see if changing the mac address changes anything
[23:23] <joshteam> anyone use dotdeb?
[23:23] <injekt> heh: SIOCSIFHWADDR: Device or resource busy - you may need to down the interface
[23:23] <injekt> heh: That's so weird
[23:24] <heh> injekt sorry my fault
[23:24] <heh> injekt ifconfig wlan0 down
[23:24] <heh> injekt then that command
[23:24] <heh> injekt then ifconfig wlan0 up
[23:24] <injekt> heh: Then bring it back up?
[23:24] <injekt> kk
[23:24] <inedit00> chuck9: have you configured properly the SMTP?
[23:25] <heh> injekt yeah
[23:25] <chuck9> How would I do that?
[23:25] <injekt> heh: Still nothing
[23:25] <heh> injekt iwlist scanning
[23:25] <powertool08> How do I automount my windows partitions as rw for all users?
[23:25] <inedit00> well, I don't have don't it before, but you need to configure SMTP server.
[23:26] <inedit00> SMTP server will deliver your mail
[23:26] <injekt> heh: Ok that prints a lot
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> powertool08: add a line in /etc/fstab for the partitions
[23:26] <heh> injekt now its working
[23:26] <neil_d> I have tried google but I am unable to work out how (from a bash script) the ecryptfs option "key=passphrase:passphrase_passwd_fd" works.. can anyone help?
[23:26] <injekt> heh: How come it doesn't display in my network manager?
[23:26] <powertool08> ActionParsnip: I did, it mounts, but I can't write to it.
[23:26] <heh> injekt iwconfig wlan0 essid *yournetwork
[23:26] <inedit00> for example, if you have an google account, you can use it for sending mail, but you you have to configure it in php.in
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> powertool08: what line did you add?
[23:27] <inedit00> the parameters you have to modify are: "SMTP = smtp.server.com"   and  "smtp_port=25"
[23:27] <injekt> heh: Yep done that
[23:27] <heh> injekt ok
[23:27] <powertool08> ActionParsnip: UUID=FAB4A2C4B4A282AD   /media/disk2part1       ntfs-3g defaults,rw,locale=en_US.UTF-8  0       0
[23:27] <chuck9> i will try that
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> powertool08: try adding guid=1000 to the options
[23:28] <heh> injekt does it work in the gui also?
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> powertool08: as well as   users
[23:28] <heh> injekt can you see the networks
[23:28] <inedit00> chuck9: it not will be enough if the SMTP server wats your autentification ( you'll must configure your user name and password too )
[23:28] <sqwertle> Is there some sort of liveusb creator for ubuntu that will work for any ISO?
[23:29] <injekt> heh: No nothing in my network manager at all
[23:29] <Omen_20> sqwertle the only one i know of is just for Ubuntu and derivatives
[23:29] <heh> injekt but you get printout from iwlist?
[23:29] <injekt> heh: Yep
[23:30] <heh> injekt thats strange
[23:30] <powertool08> ActionParsnip: It didn't make it rw.
[23:30] <injekt> heh: Yeah, very
[23:30] <acicula> !usb | sqwertle
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> powertool08: could try using ntfs-config
[23:30] <powertool08> ActionParsnip: I did.
[23:30] <acicula> sqwertle: most people prefer unetbootin i think
[23:30] <heh> injekt so do you think it was changing the mac or rebooting?
[23:31] <inedit00> chuck9: I have to go. Just search on google "configure SMTP PHP" and you'll get a answer. I cannot give you more help, sorry
[23:31] <powertool08> ActionParsnip: Actually... I can write to it via cli, but not in thunar. (I'm using XFCE)
[23:31] <acicula> sqwertle: which has an option for nearly any distro
[23:31] <airtonix> did the default menu applet for gnome intergrate the global menu bar ?
[23:31] <booboo> hey guys.. just noticed..after last updates...that firefox/youtube videos do not show in full screen..when you click the full screenbutton on youtube the screen goes full screen buth the video isabout the same size
[23:31] <injekt> heh: Changing the mac, although we can see it printout, it's still not connecting or showing on gui :(
[23:31] <booboo> any suggestions
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> powertool08: theres pysdm tool
[23:32] <heh> injekt udhcpc -i wlan0
[23:33] <histo> chuck9: install ssmtp
[23:33] <histo> chuck9: Then you can add settings to the config for yoru mail account.
[23:33] <powertool08> ActionParsnip: Why would it work via cli but not in the gui?
[23:34] <afroman>  hey. Can anybody help me sync my windows mobile to Ubuntu? I tried everything but synce-engine is still unable to connect
[23:34] <gurulenin> hi
[23:34] <histo> chuck9: you basically need a mail transfer agent on the box to send out mail with php's mail function. you also need to change hte php config to point to the proper MTA
[23:35] <chrislsp> Does anyone know hot to get online job?!
[23:35] <histo> afroman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/WindowsMobile
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> powertool08: not sure, i dont use gui much
[23:36] <histo> powertool08: some problem with thunar maybe?
[23:37] <injekt> heh: Ok gui is showing it now, 1 problem though.. it attempts to connect.. then just fails and says disconnected
[23:37] <heh> injekt are you close to the router?
[23:37] <Yono> hey, I'm trying to vnc into my ubuntu box from my windows laptop. I followed the directions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC and I get a successful ssh session in, but when I try to connect with TightVNC, the connection closes immediately. Any suggestions?
[23:37] <powertool08> ActionParsnip: Ok, its quirky but I guess I can deal with it for now. The top-most directory isn't rw except by cli, but all subdirectories are.
[23:37] <injekt> heh: Yep, and it's showing 3 bars
[23:37] <pedropistorio> #ubuntu-br
[23:37] <injekt> heh: encryption and password are 100% correct, too
[23:38] <powertool08> histo: Perhaps, I guess I'll ask in #xfce later.
[23:38] <powertool08> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the help.
[23:38] <hanasaki> anyone had luck getting the RDP Server to work? xrdp? another one?  do you have a good info page for the setup...
[23:39] <heh> injekt hold on my girlfreinds does this from time to time but i need to ask her what she does
[23:39] <injekt> heh: Ah ok
[23:39] <powertool08> hanasaki: I've been using gnome-rdp, its pretty basic, but its working.
[23:39] <hanasaki> that's the client right?
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> powertool08: always  a pleasure
[23:40] <powertool08> hanasaki: Yep, just re-read after I sent it and saw you were asking about the server
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> hanasaki: try tsclient
[23:40] <hanasaki> powertool08:  yup :( thanks though.  the gnome builtin server in 9.10 keeps crashing so I was looking at rdp maybe....
[23:41] <dl0c> hmm
[23:41] <hanasaki> ActionParsnip:  that's the client not the server . thank you.
[23:41] <powertool08> hanasaki: Can't help you on the server side, I'm connecting to a windows box. I use VNC over ssh for linux.
[23:41] <hanasaki> ah
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> hanasaki: you can use ssh with x forwarding
[23:42] <hanasaki> powertool08: I wish vnc had builtin ssh support...  how do you get the tunnel going
[23:42] <hanasaki> ActionParsnip:  actually due to port setup.. I cannot.. not my network
[23:43] <ActionParsnip> hanasaki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP
[23:43] <Silent_Dream> well, it didnt work out of the box
[23:43] <heh> injekt she says its been a while since this happened to her but she says left click on the network icon and open edit connections
[23:43] <powertool08> hanasaki: I always connect from putty in windows
[23:43] <injekt> heh: Yep played around in there
[23:43] <Silent_Dream> which wireless network usb adapters would be recommended for supporting all the standards of encryption, speed, and technology, while ideally working with linux as well as windows for a decent price
[23:43] <shawn146> i guess i am gonna dualboot xp with ubuntu
[23:44] <trism> hanasaki: ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 user@host, then just connect vnc to localhost

[23:47] <steigerjb> hi, first time on IRC. what do we do here?
[23:47] <eycel> thanks snowman
[23:48] <riri> I want to have my movies on one computer and view them on another, running mythbuntu. the computer running mythbuntu is able to mount directories with samba. what's the proper way to setup this in terms of mount directory and pointing mythtv to the videos directory? It seems that mounting the movies directory at the non mythbuntu machine and pointing the mounted path at from mythtv's setup yields some problems...
[23:48] <eycel> everyones so helpfull here
[23:48] <s34n> what is the latest release of firefox in the ubuntu 9.04 repos?
[23:48] <eycel> thanks everyone

[23:49] <Yono> hey, I'm trying to vnc into my ubuntu box from my windows laptop. I followed the directions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC and I get a successful ssh session in, but when I try to connect with TightVNC, the connection closes immediately. Any suggestions?

[23:54] <hanasaki> yezid:  you need to boot from iso usb/cd and run the partition manager / use the live cd
[23:54] <Jordan_U> yezid: Boot from a liveCD and resize the partition with gparted.
[23:54] <arand> s34n: Normal firefox package is 3.0.18, updated with relevant security and bug fixes, if you want the features, there's firefox3.5 installable..
