[02:16] <mongoosedog> only the headset,
[02:16] <yvan300> mongoosedog, which one is chosen?
[02:17] <mongoosedog> internal audio analog stereo
[02:17] <mongoosedog> what the hell, i just kicked in?
[02:18] <mongoosedog> think i got a loose wire
[02:18] <yvan300> mongoosedog, so the sound works now???
[02:18] <mongoosedog> yes
[02:18] <mongoosedog> odd

[02:19] <mongoosedog> are you anygood with mediatomb?
[02:19] <yvan300> mongoosedog, what is that?
[02:19] <mongoosedog> media sever to stream to the ps3
[02:19] <nhandler> Anyone know what is in $PATH when a cron script runs?
[02:20] <yvan300> mongoosedog, naw, that is foreign to me, sorry
[02:20] <mongoosedog> do you know another good sever?
[02:22] <yvan300> mongoosedog, sorry i'm not the server kinda guy, but i think nhandler could help ya out on servers :D
[02:22] <nhandler> I haven't used mediatomb before
[02:23] <nhandler> What are you having problems with mongoosedog ?
[02:23] <nhandler> paultag or pleia2: Any ideas what is in $PATH by default in Ubuntu ?
[02:23] <nhandler> (in crontab)
[02:24] <paultag> Oh yes
[02:24] <paultag> it is really locked down nhandler
[02:24] <paultag> nhandler: one should always use absolute paths on the cron
[02:24] <paultag> nhandler: I think it's just /bin and /usr/bin
[02:24] <nhandler> paultag: Yeah, I know ;) I was just interested in seeing if it was actually necessary for something
[02:25] <nhandler> Thanks
[02:25] <paultag> nhandler: aye :)
[02:26] <mongoosedog> well mediatomb runs in firefox but when i run it, it come ups with the page you get if you net drops out
[02:28] <mongoosedog> if you know a better server let me know MT sucks the bag
[02:28] <mongoosedog> brb having a smoke let me know tho
[02:31] <nhandler> mongoosedog: I've hear of people using http://www.fireflymediaserver.org/ before. Not sure if it supports the ps3
[02:35] <mongoosedog> hmmm
[02:35] <mongoosedog> might have to hit google for it, still learning how to get applications running
[02:45] <BlubbTec> n8
[02:57] <mongoosedog> i have done what this page tells me above the config title and it won't run? any help
[03:01] <mongoosedog> PS3 Media Server
[03:01] <mongoosedog> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ps3MediaServer
[03:01] <mongoosedog> sorry this page lol
[03:29] <duanedesign> finding community support in Linux http://ln-s.net/5Z+y
[04:29] <mongoosedog> ok guys, although i got second life to run, i can't seem to make any other apps not in the synaptic package manager to run, my files are in complete shambles and my head is going to explode, i follow all instructions but when i click run after double clicking a file nothing happens, every seach i do help with program once they are running, but i'm not getting that far, i'm sure it's...
[04:29] <mongoosedog> ...something really simple but ubuntu seems to operate very differently to what i'm used to (vista) i do enjoy problem solving but i've hit a massive snag, i could use DOS very well but the terminal throws me around, i really need some guidance
[04:31] <pedro3005> mongoosedog, what are you trying to do?
[06:56] <mongoosedog> sorry pedro3005 just trying to make programs run 	https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ps3MediaServer trying to make that run, because  mediatomb only run when it wants to, althought right now it is working lol
[06:56] <mongoosedog> kids are sick mate sorry
[11:16] <hobgoblin> morning - anyone on here got any experience with apt-cacher ?
[11:27] <duanedesign> morning hobgoblin
[11:27] <hobgoblin> o/
[11:30] <hobgoblin> duanedesign: how's things/
[11:37] <hobgoblin> duanedesign: apt-cacher is new to me - and there are different ones to use ...
[11:37] <hobgoblin> :)
[12:30] <hobgoblin> nvm - I think I have sorted it now
[12:37] <duanedesign> hobgoblin: sorry i stepped out.
[12:37] <hobgoblin> I think I can forgive you today :)
[12:40] <duanedesign> heh, you get apt-cacher set up
[12:41] <hobgoblin> think so with apt-cacher-ng - I won't really know till there are some updates on lucid :)
[12:41] <hobgoblin> if I get the downloads quicker than 70kb/s I would hazard a guess it is :)
[13:58] <hobgoblin> duanedesign: yep - all appears to be hunky dory :)
[17:28] <AJH101> Hi I am hoping to install a dual boot of Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio, sharing the same /home partition. I this relatively straightforward?
[18:25] <duanedesign> AJH101: did you get the info you were looking for?
[18:29] <drubin> 2/b 19
[19:33] <AJH101> Hi I am hoping to install a dual boot of Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio, sharing the same /home partition. I this relatively straightforward?
[19:34] <paultag> AJH101: Humm.
[19:34] <paultag> AJH101: I would avoid it ( I used to do that )
[19:34] <paultag> AJH101: the issue is configuration changes from install to install
[19:34] <hobgoblin> I would +1 that - I try not to use same /home
[19:34] <paultag> AJH101: since it is studio, I assume you will be running JACK ?
[19:35] <paultag> AJH101: so the default will be set to JACK once you do that on the Studio partition, but when you go back to Ubuntu it will try and use JACK ( and it's not installed ) thusly breaking the Sound system
[19:35] <paultag> There are other concerns. If youwant to share /home, create two users AJH101
[19:35] <paultag> but even that is risky
[19:38] <duanedesign> or maybe a  /data partition to share information
[19:39] <paultag> +1 duanedesign, not a bad idea
[19:39] <paultag> duanedesign: then ln it to ~
[19:39] <paultag> duanedesign: I do the same with "/Media" and that has /Media/movies and /Media/music
[19:39] <SoSamono> hello every one
[19:40] <paultag> Hola
[19:40] <duanedesign> paultag: ahh, thats neat
[19:40] <SoSamono> can you help with something plx?
[19:40] <paultag> duanedesign: I like it. I keep 100 GB slices of my drive for different distros and I got tired of copying music around
[19:40] <paultag> SoSamono: don't ask to ask, just ask! :)
[19:42] <SoSamono> ok my problem is i want to put VLC player runing as defoult player on the cd-rom whem i put some media on at this moment i have Totem how can i xhange that in Ubunto?
[19:43] <paultag> SoSamono: sure can :)
[19:44] <paultag> SoSamono: There should be a menu item to change the default handlers
[19:44] <paultag> duanedesign: can you help? I am on my sister's box. No Ubuntu :(
[19:44] <duanedesign> paultag: yes
[19:45] <paultag> duanedesign: thank you <3
[19:45] <duanedesign> SoSamono: you can change the default app for filetypes
[19:45] <duanedesign> SoSamono: R-Click on one of your movies, for example, and select Properties
[19:46] <duanedesign> SoSamono: Select the 'Open With' Tab
[19:47] <duanedesign> SoSamono: select VLC. If you dont see it you might have to 'Add' it
[19:47] <duanedesign> then everytime you select that file type it will open with VLC
[19:48] <SoSamono> i sse
[19:48] <SoSamono> isse
[19:49] <SoSamono> thnks for that i was looking for some comand line to do that :P
[19:50] <paultag> duanedesign: thanks :)
[19:53] <duanedesign> np :)
[19:54] <AJH101> ?
[19:56] <AJH101> register solicitor
[19:57] <hobgoblin> I'd not do that
[20:26] <AJH101> paultag: any thoughts about sharing partitions, or should I post this on a forum?
[20:37] <paultag> AJH101: Humm? Sharing parts is fun & easy :)
[20:47] <phillw> AJH101: how do you want to share partitions ?
[20:53] <lstdio_> who here uses NViDIA ?
[20:53] <lstdio_> http://www.sucka.net/2010/03/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/
[20:54] <phillw> lstdio_: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=377
[20:54] <phillw> lstdio_: get it from the people testing stuff :-D
[20:55] <ShadowKnight> hey, i had a question of how to set up ubuntu for netbook i wasnt quite sure how
[20:55] <lstdio_> phillw, how do you think I found out?
[20:55] <lstdio_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1446132
[20:55] <phillw> lstdio_: also #ubuntu+1 on IRC
[20:55] <lstdio_> I even left a comment...
[20:57] <lstdio_> ShadowKnight, install? or configure?
[20:57] <phillw> lstdio_: have you had a read of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1423210
[20:57] <ShadowKnight> lstdio_, install it completely new with a windows 7 starter base
[20:59] <phillw> lstdio_: threads from the likes of technoviking are allways worth following :-)
[21:04] <michae1> trying to get my box set up as a web test environment. went through the steps to get LAMP set up. anyone know where I can find straight forward directions on how to get the box to accept files when trying to upload to it?
[21:07] <ShadowKnight> anyone know how to set up ubuntu on a netbook? is it better to do the netbook remix or just regular ubuntu?
[21:08] <lstdio_> phillw, threads like mine are always worth following up too. ;)
[21:08] <lstdio_> ShadowKnight, in that case then, you'll need a pendrive, and the netbook iso image
[21:09] <lstdio_> ShadowKnight, you can make the pendrive bootable using http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[21:09] <lstdio_> which will extract the image onto it.
[21:10] <lstdio_> once complete, all you do is reboot + select the USB Hard Drive from BIOS boot setup.
[21:11] <lstdio_> you can also follow this documentation for creating a bootable pendrive. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[21:11] <ShadowKnight> hmmm okay so in that i download the windows or linux version? and would it work if i put it in my external hard drive?
[21:11] <lstdio_> ShadowKnight, you are in windows, right?
[21:12] <lstdio_> you download the windows version ;)
[21:12] <lstdio_> It is a program
[21:12] <lstdio_> you run it.
[21:12] <ShadowKnight> lmao okay then just making sure. okay so i download that and the iso image?
[21:12] <lstdio_> yes
[21:12] <lstdio_> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-netbook
[21:13] <lstdio_> ShadowKnight, ensure that you use a clean pendrive (ie: format it before using unetbootin on it)
[21:14] <phillw> lstdio_: There was no slight on your abilities, I apologise if you felt I was calling your knowledge & experience into doubt.
[21:14] <cliffhanger> Does any1 know if I can upgrade a 32bit version of ubuntu 2 64bit without doing a fresh install? (looking 4 a way so that I don't lose my programs)
[21:14] <ShadowKnight> okay thenthanks lstdio_ imma get on this right now.
[21:14] <lstdio_> phillw, no worries - I'm not usually named this nick anyway. =)
[21:16] <lstdio_> phillw, it does give insight though to see how new users are treated every once in a while =)
[21:17] <lstdio_> paultag, plymouth is absolutely useless...
[21:18] <paultag> lstdio_: tell me about it. Fails with nvidia drivers.
[21:18] <lstdio_> paultag, no it doesn't ;)
[21:18] <lstdio_> http://www.sucka.net/2010/03/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/
[21:18] <paultag> lstdio_: yes it does
[21:18] <paultag> lstdio_: it comes out with text and not images :(
[21:19] <lstdio_> see link :)
[21:19] <paultag> kk
[21:19] <lstdio_> apparently that is all it needs
[21:19] <phillw> lstdio_: you've been grassed on, i know who you are ;-)
[21:19] <lstdio_> haha
[21:19] <paultag> ty lstdio_ :)
[21:19] <lstdio_> /nick sdennie
[21:20] <lstdio_> speaking of which, I'll have to email him sometime.
[21:21] <lstdio_> phillw, next time I'll come in as n00b then :P
[21:21] <lstdio_> meh, if you look at my /whois stats, if it says telf, it's me
[21:22] <lstdio_> if it says telf and it isn't ... let me know, asap
[21:23]  * lstdio_ may want to meet them
[21:23] <phillw> lstdio_: I would hope to treat anyone politely
[21:23] <lstdio_> phillw, and what makes you think that I wasn't treated politely in your custody?
[21:33] <ZachK_> hey team
[21:36] <phillw> hi ZachK_
[21:36] <ZachK_> hey phillw
[22:09] <DiegoTc> hi danda48 need something?
[22:09] <danda48> I have a Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala machine
[22:10] <DiegoTc> yeap
[22:11] <danda48> when i took it to my dads, i hooked up the network connection and it didn't recognize the on board network connection
[22:12] <DiegoTc> what type of machine do you have?
[22:12] <danda48> amd 64x2
[22:12] <danda48> i just built it for him
[22:13] <danda48> do i have to add a network connection and manually put in his mac address and stuff?
[22:14] <nhandler> danda48: How are you connecting to the internet ;)
[22:14] <DiegoTc> danda48, I am leaving right now nhandleris going to give you a hand
[22:15] <nhandler> ethernet? wifi?
[22:16] <danda48> ethernet
[22:16] <nhandler> danda48: And did it work when connecting at your house ?
[22:17] <danda48> yes it did, i'm online with it now
[22:17] <danda48> its an M2N68- AM Plus Asus board
[22:18] <nhandler> danda48: Are you sure he has working internet at his place?
[22:19] <danda48> yes, he was borrowing a machine and when i put that one back online it was fine
[22:20] <danda48> should i delete the Auto eth0?
[22:20] <danda48> before i hook it up to his ethernet connection?
[22:23] <nhandler> danda48: It shouldn't matter.
[22:24] <nhandler> When you click on the networking applet when plugged into his ethernet, does anything show up?
[22:25] <danda48> no, nothing
[22:25] <danda48> like its not there
[22:27] <lstdio_> well, this is annoying :)
[22:29] <nhandler> danda48: Well, you should also be able to use ifconfig to set this up (http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2006/11/ifconfig-dissected-and-demystified.html). But I am a not sure why it would not show up in the applet
[22:30] <danda48> do i run ifconfig from the terminal?
[22:31] <nhandler> Yes
[22:31] <danda48> ok
[22:31] <danda48> thanks for your help
[22:32] <danda48> i'll study ifconfig and run it from his connection
[22:32] <danda48> thanks again
[23:35] <lstdio_> yay!
[23:35] <lstdio_> I fixed
[23:35] <nhandler> :)
[23:44] <lstdio_> my special bash configuration http://ufbt.pastebin.com/VERNVqw3
[23:44] <lstdio_> because I'm weird :)
