[00:17] <yvan300> there is a key combination which can restart ubuntu even if the gui freezes, anyone know's what it is?
[00:17] <pedro3005> yvan300, it works for every linux, and it's ALT + SysReq + REISUB
[00:18] <yvan300> pedro3005: REISUB?
[00:18] <pedro3005> You press ALT along with SysReq then press R E I S U B one by one
[00:18] <yvan300> pedro3005: oh i see thanks man :)
[00:18] <pedro3005> yvan300, you can memorize it as the inverse of BUSIER
[00:19] <yvan300> pedro3005: naw reisub is easier for me :P
[00:44] <ShadowKnight> hey, really quick. how can you check how much space you have used up on ubuntu?
[00:46] <collinp> ShadowKnight: Terminal command "df" (without quotes)
[00:46] <ShadowKnight> okay thank you collinp
[00:46] <pedro3005> ShadowKnight, or perhaps Accessories -> Disk Usage Analyzer

[00:48] <ShadowKnight> thanks pedro3005 :D

[10:21] <man0riaX> Morning
[11:55] <man0riaX> Does anyone of you know if I am able to start a daemon with a parameter? Say I have a program that I can start with the command "programname -parameter" and I want to start that program as a daemon, I know that I can do "/etc/init.d/programname start", but am I also able to start the daemon with the parameter, then?
[11:58] <geirha> You make a file /etc/default/programname, in there you put something like   OPTIONS=-parameter  then you source that from the init script and add $OPTIONS to the programs argument list.
[11:59] <geirha> That's how I've generally seen it done at least.
[12:01] <man0riaX> Okay, I'll try this out. Thanks.
[12:04] <geirha> Look at /etc/default/ntp and /etc/init.d/ntp for an example.
[12:05] <man0riaX> I think I'm missing that program, as those files do not exist in my computer. ^^
[12:06] <geirha> Ah, I thought that got installed by default.
[12:06] <man0riaX> I'm having a look at /etc/init.d/lm-sensors
[12:06] <man0riaX> I think that's also a good example
[12:06] <man0riaX> Or what do you think?
[12:06] <geirha> Don't know, I don't have that one ^^
[12:06] <man0riaX> :D
[12:07] <man0riaX> Okay, lm-sensors was a bad idea since it does not have a file in /etc/default/
[12:14] <C-Ray> hello
[12:14] <C-Ray> how ar u?
[12:14] <C-Ray> please, i have a simple question concerning a very minor issue
[12:15] <C-Ray> I am using Ubuntu 9.10, and open office.org 3.1.1.
[12:16] <C-Ray> When am trying to export my .odt file to a pdf, i am seeing that the security tab is disabled
[12:16] <C-Ray> how to enable that tab?
[12:16] <C-Ray> any ideas?
[12:16] <C-Ray> or suggestions?
[12:17] <C-Ray> [the security tab in the PDF option during the export]
[12:17] <geirha> I'm not very familiar with openoffice ... is the security tab enabled when you convert a different format to pdf?
[12:17] <C-Ray> well it was working when i had 9.04
[12:18] <C-Ray> after the upgrade it is not
[12:18] <C-Ray> no i tried it now under .doc, the same thing
[12:18] <C-Ray> it is still disabled
[12:19] <C-Ray> is this a problem of java?
[12:19] <C-Ray> or something like a plugin?
[12:20] <C-Ray> though java is installed by default under 9.10 i think, anyway it is installed on mine
[12:20] <geirha> I do have a security tab here, I'm also running Ubuntu 9.10
[12:20] <geirha> I don't think java is involved
[12:21] <C-Ray> is it also disabled?
[12:21] <C-Ray> i don't know
[12:21] <C-Ray> i was just guessing
[12:21] <geirha> No, there are two buttons in the security tab, and the rest is greyed out
[12:22] <C-Ray> well for me everything is grayed out
[12:23] <C-Ray> i can't apply any settings within the security tab
[12:23] <C-Ray> :(
[12:23] <C-Ray> are u using KDE or GNOME?
[12:23] <C-Ray> I am using Gnome
[12:23] <geirha> The rest is enabled once I set a access password.
[12:24] <geirha> Gnome, yes
[12:24] <C-Ray> access password?
[12:24] <geirha> The second button. It's translated to my native language. I probably didn't use the right term when I translated it back ;)
[12:26] <C-Ray> but i can't set that, the whole page is disabled. with Gray, are you talking about the security tab or different tab?
[12:26] <geirha> The security tab.
[12:27] <C-Ray> yeah, everything is disabled there not even the first two buttons
[12:27] <C-Ray> :(
[12:27] <C-Ray> do u think i should go to an IRC of open office or something?
[12:27] <C-Ray> is there any irc for open office?
[12:28] <geirha> http://www.hotvasoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/security-tab.gif
[12:28] <geirha> That's roughly how it looks for me
[12:28] <geirha> (Just googled for images)
[12:29] <geirha> http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/IRC_Communication#IRC_Network:_Freenode_.28irc.freenode.net.29
[12:31] <C-Ray> http://picturepush.com/public/3236293
[12:31] <C-Ray> here is mine
[12:31] <C-Ray> :(
[12:31] <geirha> Hm. Well according to that link I just posted, there's an #Openoffice.org channel here on freenode
[12:32] <C-Ray> that's really good
[12:32] <C-Ray> :)
[12:32] <geirha> They'll probably be better at helping you with this than I am :)
[12:32] <C-Ray> i will try them
[12:32] <C-Ray> thanks a lot though for your time
[12:32] <C-Ray> sorry for the trouble
[12:32] <C-Ray> ;)
[12:33] <geirha> Nah, no trouble :)
[13:56] <C-Ray> the problem was from the version of ubuntu i think
[13:56] <C-Ray> i downloaded the new version and updating and removing all openoffice.org
[13:56] <C-Ray> and it worked
[13:56] <C-Ray> thanks
[13:56] <C-Ray> regards
[13:56] <C-Ray> :D

[14:33] <ZachK_> yup
[19:34] <paultag> hey man0riaX
[19:34] <paultag> man0riaX, thanks for introducing yourself :)
[19:34] <Gene> i have usb wireless keyboard and mouse, the comp sees them and lets me use the keyboard for bios, no prob,    the grub(2) ignores the keyboard,,, (can't use it to select boot option), then the ubuntu loads and sees it and it works fine there . is there a way to fix that?
[19:35] <paultag> Gene, interesting. Let me think that over real quick.
[19:35] <man0riaX> paultag: Hey. Yes, I thought it could be useful and, not at last, polite.
[19:35] <paultag> Gene, do you have any other devices on USB or PS/2 ?
[19:35] <paultag> man0riaX, naturlich ;)
[19:36] <Gene> only keyboard and mouse
[19:36] <paultag> Gene, Interesting. Hold on
[19:36] <paultag> Gene, I had this issue, but enabling USB Keyboards via BIOS fixed it for me. Let me look into this deeper
[19:37] <paultag> man0riaX, Woher kommst du aus Deutschland? ( kann ich duzen? )
[19:38] <man0riaX> paultag: Natürlich darfst du duzen. Ich komme aus der Nähe von Siegen, wenn dir das etwas sagt. :)
[19:39] <paultag> man0riaX, Nein, aber ich kann dass googlen ;) -- Ich habe studert aus München als ich 16 war :)
[19:40] <paultag> Gene, Have you tried legacy USB support?
[19:40] <Gene> i thought that i had that enabled, but i'm not totally sure, i will check that in a while
[19:40] <paultag> Gene, I'll keep looking :)
[19:41] <Gene> i'll hibernate it and check that, i'll be back
[19:41] <paultag> kk
[19:41] <man0riaX> paultag: München ist eine ziemlich schöne Stadt. Woher kommst du ursprünglich?
[19:42] <paultag> man0riaX, Ich Komme aus USA -- Boston ( es ist nord von New York ), und jezt ich wohne aus Ohio, USA
[19:44] <man0riaX> That's cool. I intend to visit the US some time.
[19:45] <paultag> man0riaX, :)
[19:45] <matiasMX> hey
[19:45] <paultag> man0riaX, My German is very rusty, I'm sorry if it sounded rough :P

[19:46] <paultag> man0riaX, Do let me know if you make a trip to the USA :)
[19:47] <Gene> paultag, that was so simple, i'm amazed i missed it. it works fine now. i thought i had already done that.
[19:47] <paultag> matiasMX, pedro3005 here as well ;)
[19:47] <Raidsong> paultag, ping but ignore this ping
[19:47] <Gene> thanks
[19:47] <paultag> Gene, outstanding :) -- I'm glad to hear it

[19:47] <Gene> bye
[19:47] <paultag> Gene, you too
[19:47] <pedro3005> paultag, ... I've told you it's portuguese :P
[19:47] <paultag> DAMNIT!
[19:47] <pedro3005> I don't speak spanish well
[19:47] <paultag> every time!
[19:47] <paultag> pedro3005, I'm sorry again :(
[19:48] <paultag> pedro3005, I don't know any language other then English and a bit of German, so don't hold it against me!
[19:48] <man0riaX> paultag: First of all I need to start my studies on university by the end of next year. Maybe I will visit Canada, though, since there's a friend of mine living there
[19:48] <matiasMX> yes, but i'm learnin with you
[19:48] <pedro3005> paultag, no problem! can't expect people to know this crap
[19:48] <paultag> pedro3005, No, that's not right. I'm sorry, I won't make that mistake again
[19:48] <matiasMX> grasias pedro
[19:49] <paultag> man0riaX, Have you done your Civeldienst ( or however it's spelled ) ?
[19:49] <nose_pick>  Hey all
[19:49] <pedro3005> paultag, alright, but don't worry..
[19:49] <paultag> howdy nose_pick
[19:49] <pedro3005> man0riaX, hola
[19:49] <nose_pick> How is everything going atm?
[19:49] <matiasMX> hola
[19:49] <paultag> pedro3005, no man. What if someone asked if I spoke Canadian. That's not cool. I know I'm American, but c'mon. I'm better then that
[19:49] <paultag> nose_pick, not bad. And yourself?
[19:49] <meindian523> What's the Canadian language?
[19:49] <nose_pick> Just came back from the city
[19:50] <nose_pick> had a huge night
[19:50] <meindian523> French IIRC
[19:50] <meindian523> ?
[19:50] <paultag> meindian523, English, but they say "Eh" a lot
[19:50] <paultag> meindian523, and French ;)
[19:50] <man0riaX> pedro3005: Hola, qué tal? (I don't know how to make that reversed question mark :D)
[19:50] <meindian523> lol
[19:50] <nose_pick> i have always wanted too goto canada
[19:50] <pedro3005> man0riaX, Estoy bien (is that right? who knows...)
[19:51] <man0riaX> paultag: I'm about to. Currently I'm finishing school. My "Zivildienst" (<- that's how it's spelled :>) is starting on the 1st of October.
[19:51] <paultag> man0riaX, are you doing service in the Army or are you doing Ambulance work or something?
[19:53] <man0riaX> paultag: I refused to serve for the Army, thus I'll work on a workplace for disabled people
[19:53] <paultag> man0riaX, :D
[19:53] <pleia2> paultag: thanks a ton for helping Gene :) he's a texas loco guy who was having a rough time finding help
[19:53] <paultag> pleia2, sure thing, seems like a cool guy :)
[19:53] <pleia2> yeah, he's a nice guy
[19:55] <paultag> pleia2, so how are things?
[19:55] <pleia2> paultag: busy, I need a vacation :)
[19:56] <paultag> pleia2, tell me about it. Phew.
[19:56] <pleia2> paultag: you?
[19:56] <paultag> pleia2, busy, I need a vacation ;)
[19:56] <pleia2> :)
[19:56] <paultag> pleia2, school is kicking my ass
[19:56] <pleia2> school+work, I don't know how you do it
[19:57] <meindian523> idle, I need a kick in my ass to get my pending schoolwork done
[19:57] <paultag> pleia2, I can't stand sitting idle, I always need something
[19:57] <man0riaX> paultag: I think my English is likely as rusty as your German. :D
[19:57] <paultag> +100 meindian523
[19:57] <pleia2> :)
[19:57] <hobgoblin> practice I should guess pleia2 - I had to do that
[19:57] <DiegoTc> paultag pleia2
[19:57]  * meindian523 doesn't imply he wants to be kicked from the channel
[19:57] <DiegoTc> a question
[19:57] <DiegoTc> which of these one do you prefered?
[19:57] <paultag> man0riaX, dann du kannst auf Deutsch sprechen zu mich, und ich kann English sprechen zu dir :)
[19:57] <DiegoTc> http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/7450/ubuntuhnnew.jpg
[19:58] <paultag> DiegoTc, that's _AWESOME_
[19:58] <DiegoTc> or this one http://effiejayx.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/ubuntu-hn.png
[19:58] <meindian523> DiegoTc, the 2nd
[19:58] <meindian523> and +1 paultag
[19:58] <paultag> top one DiegoTc :)
[19:58] <man0riaX> paultag: Das wird sicher ein Spaß. :D
[19:58] <hobgoblin> DiegoTc: excellent :)
[19:58] <paultag> man0riaX, Awesome, then we will do that :)
[19:58] <meindian523> paultag, and the wordpress file is better
[19:58] <DiegoTc> we are having the dabete if we should chabge the logo or leave the one we have always used
[19:59] <paultag> meindian523, I like the new artwork more
[19:59] <paultag> DiegoTc, I think the new artwork looks a lot better
[19:59] <meindian523> paultag, I dunno the old artwork
[19:59] <meindian523> for me its all new
[19:59] <meindian523> ;)
[19:59] <paultag> meindian523, imageshack == new art, wordpress == old art
[19:59]  * meindian523 likes old art
[19:59] <meindian523> more explicit
[20:00] <paultag> I want to change Ohio, but I don't have that font
[20:00] <meindian523> and if you are going with new art, the 1 on top
[20:00] <meindian523> DiegoTc, ^
[20:00] <paultag> meindian523, +1
[20:00] <DiegoTc> well I will tell this to the members of the team
[20:00] <paultag> It makes it look like ubuntu:hn
[20:00] <DiegoTc> thanks
[20:01] <paultag> and that's cool as hell
[20:01] <paultag> DiegoTc, sure :)
[20:02] <meindian523> DiegoTc, could do with a bit more space betw the ubuntu logo and the honduran flag I think
[20:02] <meindian523> imageshack image, the top
[20:02] <meindian523> *the top one
[20:02] <DiegoTc> thanks meindian523  and paultag
[20:02] <meindian523> np DiegoTc
[20:02] <DiegoTc> we hope to do the new tshirts for the release
[20:02] <DiegoTc> LD
[20:03] <DiegoTc> :D
[20:03] <meindian523> excellent work
[20:03] <DiegoTc> the only problem with the new tshirts is that according to this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Brand2
[20:03] <DiegoTc> they are going to be purple
[20:03] <DiegoTc> and almost 70% of the team is not white and purple with brown not a good combination :p
[20:04] <DiegoTc> ajaja
[20:04] <pleia2> DiegoTc: I still like the old one http://effiejayx.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/ubuntu-hn.png
[20:05] <DiegoTc> pleia2: there is a suggestion of leaving the ubuntu circle of friends of the old version and just add the new letters
[20:05] <hobgoblin> goodbye everyone
[20:05] <pleia2> DiegoTc: I like that suggestion
[20:27] <DiegoTc> paultag, pleia2 , duanedesign , lukjad86 , duanedesign  http://blog.diegoturcios.net16.net/?p=460
[20:27] <paultag> DiegoTc, :)
[20:40] <DiegoTc> I am leaving
[20:40] <DiegoTc> :D
[20:44] <AJH101> hi if i want to share home patition btwn ubuntu and u studio should i wait till lucid - i will run a clean install at that point anyway!
[21:21] <ghostofmybrain_> i have a linux computer on my network and a windows 7 computer. I'm trying to move some files from teh linux machine to the windows 7.
[21:22] <ghostofmybrain_> does anybody know any good links?
[21:22] <ghostofmybrain_> by the way, I'm using server edition ubuntu, so everything needs to be executable from teh command line
[21:29] <michae1> I've got two boxes, one set up as a LAMP. the desktop box can see the LAMP box in places, but not through the web browser. Why?
[21:32] <duanedesign> hello ghostofmybrain_
[21:33] <ghostofmybrain_> hello
[21:36] <duanedesign> ghostofmybrain_: I would use ssh
[21:36] <duanedesign> ghostofmybrain_: you can use the 'scp' command
[21:37] <duanedesign> ghostofmybrain_: you can use Putty to set up SSH on windows
[21:38] <duanedesign> scp command is something like: scp greenmist.jpg 21.151.12.21:
[21:43] <duanedesign> but i have a  secure key-pair between the two computers. you can use something like this to add username and destination directory 'scp a.file me@remote-server.com:remote.file'
[21:55] <michae1> thanks.
[22:23] <mj8741> Can I ask a question about Ubuntu 10.04 beta 2 or do I need to wait until it's released?
[22:23] <drubin> mj8741: ask away
[22:24] <mj8741> Well, I tried the live cd - using nvidia geforce 6150 le graphics card - just blank screen.  I'm just hoping that will work when final 10.04 comes out.
[22:25] <mj8741> It works on a friends computer with ati card.  I hope they still support nvidia cards.
[22:27] <mj8741> Guess I should just wait until the final 10.04 is out.  Must be lots of people using nvidia - doubt ubuntu would not support it.
[22:27] <ghostofmybrain_> duanedesign: can you walk me through using ssh?
[22:29] <ghostofmybrain_> do I need to change any sort of firewall type settings? I can see teh computer on my windows machine, but I can't access it
[22:31] <mj8741> drubin - guess I was just afraid I would not be able to use ubuntu 10.04 -
[22:34] <duanedesign> ghostofmybrain_: http://www.sharms.org/blog/2009/07/05/connecting-to-ubuntu-from-windows/
[22:34] <duanedesign> you will need to install PuTTY on your windows box
[22:37] <drubin> mj8741: it might work if you install it
[22:38] <drubin> remeber the alternate cd doesn't always install all proprietary drivers and stuff
[22:39] <mj8741> drubin: yeah, you're  right.  I was just going to take a look at it via live cd... no big deal.  I'll just wait.  9.04 works fine for me for now... Thanks
