[00:10] <DarkwingDuck> YAY! Member!
[00:10] <pedro3005> DarkwingDuck, ubuntu member?
[00:10] <DarkwingDuck> Yes
[00:11] <DarkwingDuck> Well, via Kubuntu but yes. I was just voted as a Kubuntu/Ubuntu member
[00:11] <pedro3005> DarkwingDuck, congratulations
[00:11] <DarkwingDuck> Thanks
[00:12] <Bodsda> congrats DarkwingDuck
[02:36] <nomadhacker> hello there.  Having some issues with booting windows 7 along with Ubuntu.  It's loading grub just fine, and Ubuntu loads, but when I choose the Windows 7 option, the loading splash for windows shows, then suddenly reboots.
[02:38] <nomadhacker> It seems to be specific to Ubuntu's grub.  I had tried 9.10 and had the issue continuously, so I installed fedora and no problems.  Now I've installed 10.04, and it worked at first, but now suddenly I'm back to windows rebooting on startup.
[02:39] <nomadhacker> tried repairing windows boot with bootrec /fixboot, to no result
[02:39] <nomadhacker> obviously don't want to fixmbr
[02:44] <mohi1> nomadhacker, you done anything in the boot menu? i mean grub file(grub.cfg)??
[02:44] <nomadhacker> I had made windows the default with 5 second timeout.  It had been working until just today.
[02:46] <mohi1> you have the backup of your grub.cfg??
[02:46] <nomadhacker> nope.
[02:47] <nomadhacker> It had been working for the last week or so since I installed 10.04 with windows as the default.
[03:09] <nomadhacker> Thanks to mohi!  Just rebooted into Windows.
[05:11] <nhasian> hello everyone
[05:12] <DarkwingDuck> Greetings
[06:49] <smee2> hi
[06:52] <smee2> after learning some basics on linux, like getting around the os and learning some basic commands, what topic would you suggest I look into next
[06:53] <smee2> i followed some tutorials, but they started getting into networks and servers, which i know nothing about.  i thought i should put that on hold for a while
[07:33] <paultag> nhandler, is there a channel mode +u ?
[08:39] <tenach> Bodsda, ping
[09:53] <st4aluck> lukjad86: I went to the shop and it'll cost me 7 euro to install the software :))))

[10:16] <pedro3005> st4aluck, that is good
[10:17] <st4aluck> pedro3005: Idon't know if it is possible to pre-install the software on the router by myselfe!?!?
[10:18] <pedro3005> st4aluck, neither do I
[10:20] <st4aluck> pedro3005: the only access to it is trough firefox, but if the build in DNS is fucked you can't access it
[10:23] <st4aluck> pedro3005: my sister gave it to me. She said she bought new because this doesn't work.:::))) It's 77 euro:)
[10:25] <pedro3005> st4aluck, well, good luck :D

[11:01] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, what's the specs?
[11:03] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: what do you mean?
[11:03] <ibuclaw> motherboard, manufacturer. :)
[11:03] <ibuclaw> or simply the desktop/laptop name
[11:04] <ibuclaw> oh, wait, just read your post
[11:04] <st4aluck> Thoshiba A205-4567S
[11:04] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, does it boot / work properly if you boot from Battery?
[11:05] <ibuclaw> that is *not* connected to AC
[11:05] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: it work properly only on 8.04
[11:06] <st4aluck> I said that I made test with live CD of Knoppix and Hardy
[11:07] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: On Knoppix loads and freezes but Hardy no prb
[11:10] <ibuclaw> mkay
[11:12] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, are you on the affected system now?
[11:15] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: yes, but I can change to another hard drive
[11:15] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: ....and install on it what ever you tell me
[11:16] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, nah, just need to test 2 things
[11:16] <st4aluck> ok
[11:16] <ibuclaw> if you open a terminal :)
[11:16] <ibuclaw> firstly, fake that you are switching to battery.
[11:17] <ibuclaw> sudo acpi_fakekey 236
[11:17] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, if all is fine afterwards, then test powersave.
[11:17] <st4aluck> wait
[11:17] <ibuclaw> sudo pm-powersave true
[11:18] <ibuclaw> if your system is still running, can mostly rule out acpi.
[11:20] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: shall I turn on battery now?
[11:21] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, nah, those tests were just to see if it's a userspace issue. (the interface above the kernel).
[11:22] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: so?
[11:23] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: it's not
[11:23] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, open up grub configuration and add "noacpi" as an option.
[11:24] <ibuclaw> gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[11:24] <st4aluck> does it mean it the kernel issue as I tought
[11:24] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, a regression, probably, yes.
[11:24] <ibuclaw> in that file, you should see a "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" line.
[11:24] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: done
[11:25] <allencch> hello, i have downloaded ubuntu desktop dvd, and i have already installed Ubuntu with english. may i know how to install other language support through DVD?
[11:25] <st4aluck> I made thise before
[11:25] <ibuclaw> =)
[11:25] <ibuclaw> sudo update-grub
[11:25] <st4aluck> it's already made to show the boot loader
[11:26] <ibuclaw> then reboot, login, and *then* try removing the AC power cable
[11:26] <ibuclaw> kk :)
[11:26] <st4aluck> ok
[11:26] <st4aluck> bye
[11:28] <ibuclaw> allencch, if you are connected to the net, you can get language-support packages through the repository
[11:28] <allencch> is there anyway to install offline, such as using DVD?
[11:29] <ibuclaw> allencch, hmm, what's on the DVD contents?
[11:29] <allencch> the DVD iso downloaded from ubuntu website
[11:33] <ibuclaw> allencch, hmm, maybe I'm blind, but I wasn't aware of a DVD available for download from the site (nor was I aware of one).
[11:33] <allencch> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#dvd
[11:34] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: it freezes at the moment I have to load into my account
[11:34] <allencch> ibuclaw, it is linked to other server
[11:35] <ibuclaw> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/release/
[11:35] <ibuclaw> :)
[11:35] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: it freezes at the moment I have to load into my account
[11:38] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: ha, new update kernel on Lucid
[11:40] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, ? :)
[11:40] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: new 32-28
[11:40] <st4aluck> 32-18
[11:42] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: I tried to boot on battery but it freezes at the moment I had to load into my account!?!?
[11:43] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: there is a new kernel update to 32-18 it was 32-17
[11:43] <ibuclaw> oic
[11:43] <ibuclaw> allencch, if you insert the DVD and browse it's contents, what do you see?
[11:44] <allencch> the DVD is just similar to the CD version, only the squash fs is about 1.2 G
[11:47] <ibuclaw> I was more interested in if there is a "pool" directory
[11:47] <ibuclaw> if so, check that under "l" or "la"
[11:49] <allencch> ibuclaw, pool contains "main" and "restricted"
[11:50] <ibuclaw> allencch, check under main
[11:50] <allencch> inside main got "l", and in "l" got a lot of "language-pack*"
[11:50] <ibuclaw> allencch, there you go then =)
[11:51] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, if you can figure out which was the last working kernel, check the change, try raising a bug report with your findings.
[11:51] <allencch> ibuclaw, then how do i install? i want to install chinese language and scim input. is it using the "deb" files?
[11:52] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: How it has to be? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[11:52] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, that is the default, yes
[11:52] <ibuclaw> oh, noacpi?
[11:52] <ibuclaw> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noacpi"
[11:52] <st4aluck> like that?
[11:53] <ibuclaw> well, it doesn't matter on the order
[11:53] <ibuclaw> so long as it is within the quotes
[11:53] <ibuclaw> after saving, run:
[11:53] <ibuclaw> sudo update-grub
[11:53] <st4aluck> ok
[11:53] <ibuclaw> to generate a new grub.cfg file for boot
[11:54] <allencch> ibuclaw, okay, i know the solution, it is using dpkg
[11:55] <allencch> ibuclaw, thanks for your help. FYI, the DVD image doesn't have the language I want. hahaha.
[11:55] <ibuclaw> allencch, gdebi should be installed =)
[11:55] <ibuclaw> that allows you to double click on the debs to install
[11:56] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: still downlading the updates:(
[11:56] <ibuclaw> allencch, being connected to the net is so much easier though when installing packages.
[11:57] <st4aluck> then I will reboot
[11:57] <allencch> but internet connection is not very fast and not always available in my area.
[11:57] <ibuclaw> because of the ... fragmented way they are maintained.
[11:58] <lukjad86> st4aluck Hey, that's great!
[11:59] <st4aluck> lukjad86: haha, I am happy with  the router...after 2-3 hours I'll have it back
[12:00] <lukjad86> Good for you!
[12:00] <st4aluck> 77 euro, uh!!!
[12:01] <st4aluck> I can connect 64 computers with it
[12:02] <st4aluck> lukjad86: still trying to fix the battery problem
[12:02] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/447104
[12:02] <ibuclaw> broken wireless drivers strikes again.
[12:03] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, another test is to disable network manager from autostarting =)
[12:04] <allencch> thanks, bye
[12:05] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: Are you talking about the battery mode
[12:06] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: I did read it yet
[12:06] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: I didn't read it yet
[12:07] <st4aluck> how to disable the network manager and do you think it'll help
[12:08] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, I *think* it is in System->Preferences->Startup Apps
[12:09] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: Sorry I'll be back in few minutes..... have to kill the snake:)))
[12:09] <ibuclaw> ;
[12:16] <st4aluck> wow
[12:22] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: do you mean startup services?
[12:28] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, is Network Manager listed ?
[12:29] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: no but there is a powerdevil deamon
[12:29] <ibuclaw> never heard of it. :)
[12:30] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: did you read the article?
[12:31] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: the bug is the same
[12:32] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: log-in screen.
[12:32] <st4aluck> after logging in, I HAVE TO KILL THE NM-APPLET BEFORE IT'S CONNECTED.
[12:32] <st4aluck> this will make my laptop run stable on battery power, pulling out the adapter when the system is booted still ends up with a frozen PC
[12:33] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, preventing nm-applet from starting full stop will prevent you having to do that.
[12:33] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: that was the last comment
[12:34] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: now there is a new kernel... let me reboot to see,uh?
[12:34] <st4aluck> just upgradet
[12:35] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, sure, go ahead
[12:35] <st4aluck> bye
[12:36] <lukjad86> ibuclaw Is there a way to sync my computer's time with a server? It seems to be off by several minutes
[12:45] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: it got frozen while loading the kernel
[12:49] <ibuclaw> oh joy :)
[12:49] <ibuclaw> does the same happen when starting recovery mode -> selecting resume?
[12:51] <ibuclaw> also, a pastebin of /var/log/messages may prove useful insight
[12:56] <st4aluck> ibuclaw:  did you see that?..... edit: 12-02-10 the LINUX-2.6.31-18-kernell solves the problem on my pc
[12:57] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: Can I run LINUX-2.6.31-18-kernell on Lucid?
[12:57] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: that guy says it solved the problem
[13:13] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: Can I run LINUX-2.6.31-18-kernell on Lucid? The guy sais it fixed the problem with the battery. ( edit: 12-02-10 the LINUX-2.6.31-18-kernell solves the problem on my pc)
[13:14] <ibuclaw> st4aluck, can't see why not.
[13:15] <st4aluck> can you pls help me from where to download it?
[13:16] <ibuclaw> http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic
[13:16] <st4aluck> 10x
[13:19] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: this is 31-20 which makes the same problems I need 31-18
[13:20] <ibuclaw> oh?
[13:27] <st4aluck> ibuclaw: see this in sinaptic! Linux kernel image for version 2.6.31 on Ingo Molnar's full real time preemption patch
[14:17] <nhandler> paultag: There is no +u channel mode. There used to be a +u user mode though
[15:34] <paultag> nhandler, awww
[15:34] <nhandler> What were you trying to do paultag ?
[15:34] <paultag> nhandler, because the chan flags by default are "Cnt"
[15:34] <nhandler> :)
[15:34] <paultag> hahaha :)
[21:00] <lorn_> So I'm about as new as one can get to linux based systems and ubuntu....I seem to be incapable of figuring out how to unzip my downloads.
[21:00] <lorn_> The archive manager says they're not zip files, so I tried 7zip and that isn't working either :/
[21:03] <nhandler> lorn_: What are the downloads?
[21:05] <fine_line> Ha's anyone  a favourite C++ compiler and IDE ( Netbeans/Code::Blocks) for Lucid
[21:06] <pedro3005> fine_line, well.. I always use g++ as a compiler
[21:07] <fine_line> is that better than Borland ?
[21:07] <lorn_> Sorry had a phone call
[21:08] <lorn_> the downloads are diablo 2 from battle.net installers
[21:09] <lorn_> Error: /home/lorn/Desktop/Downloader_Diablo2_enUS.exe: Can not open file as archive
[21:10] <fine_line> quit
[21:10] <nhandler> lorn_: You will not be able to run that in Ubuntu. It might work with wine, but I'm not sure
[21:10] <lorn_> I see
[21:11] <lorn_> but normal zip files should just work then, eh?
[21:11] <lorn_> ill try it
[21:13] <nhandler> Zip files are just an archive. You will be able to extract them in Ubuntu, but you might not be able to run what is actually inside them
[21:19] <lorn_> awesome, wine is working for the unzip
[21:20] <lorn_> Thanks guys, I was convinced I had somehow saved the archives wrong or something :)
[21:20] <freezeloud> lorn_: diablo 2 works just fine under wine
[21:20] <nhandler> Uh, you don't need wine to unzip a .zip file.
[21:27] <lorn_> I needed it to unzip the diablo 2 installer
[21:29] <lorn_> file share
[21:29] <lorn_> mt
[21:30] <freezeloud> lorn_: ubuntu handles archives well, if installer was an exe self-extracting archive it is windows stuff so you need wine or windows to run it
[21:30] <lorn_> Yessir I understand that now, didn't realize it was a windows compatability thing
[21:31] <freezeloud> lorn_: yop srry :)
[21:31] <lorn_> What would be the best way to set up quick file sharing from computers on the same router
[21:31] <lorn_> My brother is still running windows, not sure if that matters
[21:32] <pedro3005> Eh, brothers and their windows
[21:32] <pedro3005> I know how you feel!
[21:32] <lorn_> haha
[21:33] <lorn_> one of these guides says to use network manager but I can't find it for the life of me
[21:34] <lorn_> and I'm not familiar enough with th console to know how to type commands yet :/
[21:35] <pedro3005> lorn_, you'd use samba
[21:37] <lorn_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[21:38] <lorn_> Don't see much else open
[21:38] <lorn_> that was through terminal though
[21:38] <pedro3005> lorn_, do you have software center or synaptic open?
[21:39] <lorn_> oh there it is, an update manager running minimzed where I didn't expect
[21:39] <lorn_> on the left
[21:39] <pedro3005> close it
[21:40] <lorn_> it's mid updating atm, should I cancel and update later?
[21:42] <pedro3005> lorn_, either that or wait until it's done
[21:43] <AJH101> Hello I would like to back up my Home folder before a clean install of Lucid BUT I want to ensure all my emails and accounts are in there first. I have searched but cannot find them - can you help please?
[21:44] <lorn_> alright its installing now
[21:44] <nhandler> AJH101: They are probably in a hidden folder. If you are using nautilus, hit Ctrl+H to view hidden folders
[21:44] <lorn_> samba is
[21:46] <AJH101> nhandler: thank you! I am a lot more comfortable now - thanks
[21:46] <nhandler> :)
[21:49] <lorn_> alright sambas installed now
[21:51] <lorn_> What do I do with samba, pedro3005?
[21:51] <fine_line> quit
[21:56] <pedro3005> lorn_, sorry, back. now, on network, can you find the windows pc?
[21:58] <lorn_> okay where is network
[21:58] <lorn_> been trying to find samba after install
[21:58] <pedro3005> lorn_, Places > Network
[21:58] <lorn_> yes, it sees the windows pc
[21:58] <lorn_> the pc and "windows network"
