[01:05] <joe1> Hi, there can some one help me out. I have trouble with my desktop. Once I set the effect of the compiz usinf the reflection effect, my computer freeze. Now everytime I turn my computer and log on it freeze. Some one told me i need to get to the memory recovery and uninstall the effect. I dont know how to get there, im new
[01:12] <cprofitt> joe1: you had a question?
[01:12] <joe1> yes
[01:13] <joe1> yes i have problems with desktop
[01:13] <joe1> my cumputer freeze
[01:13] <joe1> i dont know how to get to the memory recovery and uninstall the reflection effects
[01:13] <cprofitt> I assume Ubuntu is the OS?
[01:14] <cprofitt> You mean the compiz effects?
[01:14] <joe1> yes
[01:14] <joe1> ubuntu is the ubuntu os
[01:14] <joe1> and yes the compiz effects
[01:15] <cprofitt> when you boot the computer are you given a choice of what to boot?
[01:15] <joe1> yes
[01:15] <joe1> i have memory recovery and the windows loader
[01:15] <cprofitt> is one of them recovery
[01:15] <cprofitt> hmm...
[01:15] <cprofitt> hold on...
[01:16] <joe1> yes thats right i have 2 option
[01:16] <joe1> one said recovery 20 and the recovery 14
[01:16] <cprofitt> when you get to the login you are ok?
[01:16] <cprofitt> its just after login right?
[01:17] <joe1> thats right, is after the login
[01:17] <cprofitt> you are on 9.10?
[01:18] <joe1> thats right
[01:18] <cprofitt> go to the login -- select your name
[01:18] <cprofitt> but before putting the password in
[01:18] <cprofitt> change your session from Gnome to Failsafe Gnome
[01:18] <cprofitt> then enter your password
[01:19] <joe1> ok, then
[01:20] <cprofitt> you should be able to change the visual affects to none from that I believe
[01:20] <cprofitt> testing that now on my other machine
[01:21] <ibuclaw> failsafe gnome is a plain background with an embedded terminal iirc
[01:21] <joe1> ok so then i will be able to get to the compiz effects
[01:21] <ibuclaw> from there, you'll need to start the compizconfig-settings app (or whatever it is called)
[01:21] <cprofitt> hmm...
[01:22] <cprofitt> you should be able too
[01:22] <cprofitt> ibuclaw: it is a gnome session w/o compiz for me
[01:22] <cprofitt> joe1: looking up how to turn compiz off from failsafe right now
[01:22] <ibuclaw> cprofitt, then it has changed since I last looked at it then :)
[01:22] <cprofitt> +1 ibuclaw
[01:23] <ibuclaw> probably 8.04, or 7.10
[01:23] <cprofitt> I think it was 9.10 or 9.04 that changed
[01:23] <joe1> ok il wait
[01:23] <cprofitt> it shocked me the first time
[01:24] <cprofitt> joel http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=980835
[01:25] <cprofitt> joel you can also disable compiz by running the following from terminal
[01:25] <cprofitt> if it is not simply blur causing the lock up
[01:25] <cprofitt> metacity --replace
[01:26] <joe1> some one told me that i can unistall compiz by apt-get reomve compiz
[01:26] <joe1> but i dont know if that works
[01:26] <cprofitt> You can -- but I would run the replace command above first
[01:27] <cprofitt> I can hang here while you try that
[01:27] <joe1> ok and how can i do that, im sorry im a beginner
[01:27] <cprofitt> go to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminail
[01:28] <cprofitt> and then type metacity --replace
[01:28] <cprofitt> you may have to use sudo
[01:28] <joe1> right know im using windows
[01:28] <joe1> i need to restart my computer and run ubuntu
[01:28] <cprofitt> write this stuff donw then
[01:28] <cprofitt> then try...
[01:28] <cprofitt> I can hang here and wait for you
[01:29] <joe1> ok i can do that
[01:29] <joe1> this site
[01:29] <cprofitt> k
[01:29] <joe1> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=980835   tell my the steps to replace
[01:29] <cprofitt> well that does not do the metacity -- replace
[01:30] <joe1> and what is the code for the replace
[01:31] <cprofitt> "metacity --replace"
[01:31] <cprofitt> just open the terminal
[01:31] <cprofitt> and type that
[01:31] <cprofitt> hit enter
[01:32] <joe1> ok ill do it and then i enter this channer

[03:46] <beginner_need_he> hello...could anyone here help to configure a router/firewall?
[03:47] <dockimble> nope
[03:47] <pedro3005> hello, beginner_need_he
[03:47] <pedro3005> dockimble, >.> yes we could
[03:47] <beginner_need_he> thank you!!!
[03:48] <pedro3005> beginner_need_he, so you need to configure a firewall?
[03:48] <beginner_need_he> yeah ....shall i just go ahead and tell you what the problem is?
[03:48] <pedro3005> beginner_need_he, sure
[03:49] <beginner_need_he> I want to configure a router/firewall and I want to put it between my modem/router that my ISP gave me and my local network
[03:49] <beginner_need_he> I have an old computer with 2 NIC's
[03:49] <beginner_need_he> and they are both working
[03:51] <pedro3005> beginner_need_he, so you wanna make the whole PC a firewall?
[03:52] <beginner_need_he> if I got it right, i need to connect my modem/router from my ISP to one  of the Nic's and then the to the other one....
[03:52] <beginner_need_he> yes thats right
[03:52] <beginner_need_he> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router?highlight=%28%28EasyRouter%29%29#Technical%20Overview
[03:53] <beginner_need_he> I tried everything there
[03:53] <beginner_need_he> but it didnt work....
[03:53] <beginner_need_he> but it feels like im very close
[03:53] <beginner_need_he> lol
[03:54] <pedro3005> beginner_need_he, what exactly did you try (and what exactly do you want)?
[03:54] <pedro3005> duanedesign, ping
[03:56] <beginner_need_he> ping...
[03:56] <beginner_need_he> i want to be able to access internet from the computers on the internal network
[03:57] <beginner_need_he> but I cant : (
[03:57] <pedro3005> beginner_need_he, then I think the scheme would go: modem > firewall > router > PCs
[03:57] <geirha> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[03:59] <beginner_need_he> hmmm...ok
[04:00] <beginner_need_he> my modem from my ISP is a router aswell
[04:00] <beginner_need_he> will that make any difference?
[04:01] <beginner_need_he> thx geirha I'll have a look at it
[04:03] <pedro3005> beginner_need_he, said router probably has a firewall; why not use it?
[04:04] <beginner_need_he> oh...lol I see
[04:04] <beginner_need_he> yeah I could....but Im not really that concerned about the security
[04:04] <beginner_need_he> I just want to be able to do it....
[04:04] <beginner_need_he> lol I know it sounds silly
[04:04] <pedro3005> beginner_need_he, then why do you want a whole computer acting as a firewall?
[04:05] <beginner_need_he> because it an old computer I'm not using
[04:06] <beginner_need_he> so I thought I could do something with it....
[04:06] <beginner_need_he> just a small project
[04:25] <duanedesign> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router#Use%20your%20desktop%20PC
[04:25] <duanedesign> d'oh, he left
[04:25] <stlsaint> duanedesign: WHAT>!!>!> duane is TOO late!?!?!?
[04:27] <duanedesign> (in grandpa voice) back in the olden days I could post an answer before a user had the question fully typed
[04:29] <stlsaint> the good ol days LOL
[04:31] <phillw> lol @ duanedesign so you can tell me how to make a mini-iso the needs 'deb' and not 'squash'; that'd be pretty darn kewl ;-)
[05:14] <stlsaint> duanedesign: ping
[05:23] <duanedesign> stlsaint:  pong
[05:24] <stlsaint> duanedesign: how do you open a weblink in terminator?
[05:24] <stlsaint> you said you will keep the goosh link open in a terminator window?? how so????
[05:25] <duanedesign> hmmm
[05:28] <duanedesign> stlsaint: well i guess you cant. Or at least i dont know how
[05:28] <duanedesign> stlsaint: i didnt realize it was all javascript
[05:29] <duanedesign> stlsaint: i guess you could install Lynx
[05:29] <duanedesign> open the site in lynx in one of your terminator windows
[05:30] <duanedesign> that might actually work pretty good
[05:30] <stlsaint> how?
[05:30] <nhandler> Or links2
[05:31] <duanedesign> links2, you like better? or about the same
[05:31] <stlsaint> well elinks is a cli based web browser but thats not what i thought duanedesign was talking about
[05:32] <nhandler> duanedesign: I haven't used either for a while. But it really depends on what I am doing
[05:32] <paultag> elinks ftw
[05:32] <stlsaint> paultag: :)
[05:32] <stlsaint> i also enjoy elinks
[05:34] <stlsaint> hrm, elinks+goosh may be a niffty combo
[05:35] <duanedesign> im gonna try it :)
[05:36] <stlsaint> hrm, maybe not...i cant seem to get content to post cuz goosh opens up the links in a seperate browser...seems some configs are in order
[09:02] <tenach> Hello there leoquant

[09:17] <tenach> How are you doing this evening leoquant ?
[09:17] <leoquant> bad
[14:35] <shredder12> i just faced the most weird situation to recover ubuntu. A friend of mine after installing karmic, decided to downgrade to gcc 4.3 and so he removed the 4.4 version. Apparently no warnings showed and now he is  unable to install any application.. any way he can get back things again.
[14:36] <shredder12> or the only solution is to go for a reinstall?
[14:36] <nigelb> you can get try to get the gcc deb and install it
[14:37] <shredder12> nigelb, will it be possible without any compiler pre-installed?
[14:37] <drubin> shredder12: apt-get install gcc ?
[14:37] <nigelb> I dont know, you can try :)
[14:38] <nigelb> yeah, ^ might work
[14:39] <drubin> nigelb:  you shouldn't need gcc to do apt-get
[14:39] <nigelb> drubin, that was what I was hoping
[14:40] <drubin> shredder12: might need to do apt-get update first
[14:40] <shredder12> drubin, nigelb yeah, let me check
[14:42] <greenkernel> Is Shell Scripting a programming language?
[14:43] <drubin> greenkernel: yes kinda
[14:44] <greenkernel> can write a small program like games?
[14:44] <nigelb> greenkernel, more of a scripting language actually :)
[14:45] <drubin> greenkernel: no I would not recommend writing games in scripts
[14:46] <greenkernel> but, it's possible right?
[14:47] <ducky> shredder12 .debs do not need to be compiled. they already are
[14:47] <ducky> greenkernel yes...
[14:48] <greenkernel> please would you recommend an online source which I can learn some basic shell scripting for small games?
[14:49] <phillw> greenkernel: you would struggle to do games with a shell script, you would be better advised to learn one of 'higher' programmes.
[14:51] <greenkernel> all right, what should be my first "higher" language (especially in linux)?
[14:52] <shredder12> drubin, nigelb yeah it worked.. i was confused that every time we install the code gets compiled.. thanks ducky
[14:52] <drubin> greenkernel: just become something is spossible doesn't mean it should be done.
[14:52] <nigelb> shredder12, no no, debs are already compiled
[14:52] <drubin> shredder12: Pleasure
[14:52] <drubin> nigelb: Not all of them ;-p
[14:52] <nigelb> drubin, yeah?
[14:53] <drubin> nigelb: Ye some kernel modules and stuff get compiled.
[14:53] <nigelb> drubin, but do we apt-get them?
[14:53] <drubin> nigelb: if you look in /usr/local/src/
[14:53] <drubin> nigelb: you will see
[14:53] <nigelb> drubin, empty folder
[14:53] <drubin> I know my wireless gets compiled or soemthing
[14:54] <drubin> nigelb: it is very rare that things are compiled via apt-get
[15:24] <mohi1> Raidsong,
[15:32] <bodhizazen> 'lo all
[15:33] <henkie> I'm afraid I messed up my audio when installing medibunto. zero sound
[15:34] <mohi1> bodhizazen, come to zenix please
[15:37] <phillw> hiyas henkie, I'd suggest you have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 that covers most of the 'gotchas', quite often it is simply a setting
[18:05] <yvan300> how do you get permissions to delete a file while on the live cd?
[18:08] <pedro3005> yvan300, sudo su, i think
[18:12] <yvan300> pedro3005, i need a definite answer for a support question in the forums :)
[18:12] <pedro3005> yvan300, :/ wouldn't know
[18:12] <yvan300> pedro3005, oh ok den
[18:18] <geirha> gksudo nautilus  will give you a nautilus window with root permissions.  In the terminal,  sudo -i  will give you a root shell.

[21:27] <Mindgamer> I need help with 9.10 desktop installation RAID configuration. I am trying to recreate a software array using the Disk Utility but I am having trouble removing the old array... The application is telling me when I try to detach one of the disks that some devices 'are holding /dev/sdc1'. The array was a pure data array and it should be empty, noone or nothing using it so i am confused...
[21:36] <Mindgamer> oh nevermind.. after a restart, the raid array is gone and i have my 2 disks with empty unallocated space
[21:42]  * ZachK_ waves to the team...
[21:50] <Mindgamer> Sigh I dont get it :( After creating a new raid array on 9.10 desktop version... should the new disk be visible in File Browser?
[22:46] <lukjad86> Mindgamer Raid... doesn't that mean that it's multiple HDs acting as one large redundant one?
[22:47] <lukjad86> if so, I don't think it would show up, it's not a separate HD but extending the current one
[22:48] <Mindgamer> well I am trying to set it up as RAID 1 - 2 disks (2TB each) with redundancy - so that I would have one 2TB failsafe disk
[22:48] <Mindgamer> the Ubuntu OS is on a third separate disk
[22:48] <Mindgamer> for now I cannot manage setting up the RAID array
[22:49] <Mindgamer> browsing the docs and forums but most of the info is for creating raid at install time - however i have a previous installation and just need to add disks to the system
[22:50] <lukjad86> Mindgamer Generally when adding a disk it should show up in Places->Computer
[22:50] <lukjad86> Have you checked there?
[22:51] <lukjad86> Other places that they could show up are /media and /mnt
[22:51] <Mindgamer> yes, it did not show up there - i must have done something wrong. i have deleted my raid configuration and partitions etc for the 2TB disks and have started from scratch
[22:51] <Mindgamer> thanks, i will check those when i think i have created the raid
[22:51] <lukjad86> Mindgamer Have you tried booting to the CD ISO of ubuntu and testing to see if it recognizes them
[22:52] <lukjad86> Okay, see you then :_)
[22:53] <yvan300> lukjad86, is that you?
[22:57] <lukjad86> yvan300 It is I
[22:57] <yvan300> lukjad86, what up with the nick change?
[22:58] <lukjad86> yvan300 I hate james bond
[22:59] <yvan300> lukjad86, so why 007 in the first place ? :)
[22:59] <lukjad86> yvan300 Accident a loooooooooooong time ago. I blame AOL
[23:00] <yvan300> lukjad86, care to shed some light on the 'incident'?
[23:02] <lukjad86> yvan300 Okay, I had an account years ago with AOL, and used lukjad. I made another with them a while later but couldn't use the same one so added 007 because I thought it was just a generic thing about spies. By the time I found out who James Bond was, I had a bunch of accounts in that nick.
[23:06] <yvan300> lukjad86, what's so bad about james???
[23:08] <lukjad86> yvan300 He's a cold blooded killer-gigolo
[23:08] <lukjad86> What's to like?
[23:09] <yvan300> lukjad86, yeah but he has a British accent ! :P
[23:09] <lukjad86> Not Sean Connery
[23:10] <lukjad86> His was Scottish
[23:11] <yvan300> lukjad86, wait which one of the actors u hate?
[23:11] <lukjad86> None, I hate the character
[23:13] <yvan300> lukjad86, ah i see, so what has taken the place of opengame in your life?
[23:14] <lukjad86> opengame?
[23:16] <Mindgamer> is there something like windw's device manager in ubuntu 9.10?
[23:16] <Mindgamer> cant find it
[23:17] <yvan300> lukjad86, you know the space thing
[23:18] <yvan300> Mindgamer, i think the command lspci, but it's kinda detailed, try it for yourself and see
[23:18] <Mindgamer> yvan300: tx
[23:19] <Mindgamer> oh.. i was hoping for a gui
[23:19] <Mindgamer> o well
[23:19] <yvan300> Mindgamer, there should be one but i never bothered :D
[23:21] <stlsaint> gui for what?
[23:22] <stlsaint> Mindgamer: you in texas?
[23:22] <yvan300> stlsaint, hardware info
[23:22] <stlsaint> yvan300: you check repos?
[23:22] <Mindgamer> stlsaint: i want to find out the driver version for my PCI SATA card.. in windows i access all that kind of info through a gui
[23:23] <Mindgamer> not a problem.. just that it takes a while to learn and find stuff
[23:25] <stlsaint> oh ok
