[03:03] <kman> Ubuntu update issue.  I had ubunto 8.?  installed and running.  Upgraded to 8.10(?) OK and then decided to upgrade to 9.04.  It hung and now when I start up I can login but then just get a blank screen. Any suggestions?
[03:12] <kman> OK another question.  Control panels.  I have played around with C-Panel and was wanting something like that for Ubuntu.  I could see reference to a Control Panel for Ubunto v 9.04 and that's why I had been upgrading.  I was surprised that KLOXO was not supported.  It looks really good and very much like C-Panel.  It says it is only supported on Centos.
[03:13] <kman> Is there a  more active IRC for Ubuntu out there?
[03:13] <pedro3005> #ubuntu
[03:14] <pedro3005> sorry I'm not able to answer
[03:23] <malev> kman, #ubuntu or if you speak spanish: #ubuntu-es
[03:47] <kman> thanks for suggesting #ubuntu.  I'm over there chatting now.  Bye.

[08:07] <Saudrapsmann> Hi, I have a question. I have my notification area in my top panel, but the notifications end up an inch below the panel like in this picture: http://i41.tinypic.com/ngcbon.png
[08:07] <Saudrapsmann> I can't seem to find any way to change the location of where they go vertically
[08:07] <Saudrapsmann> Can anyone help me?
[08:10] <ZeRoDeAtH50435> mine does that too
[08:15] <Akos> hi team
[08:15] <Akos> Saudrapsmann: as far as i know, that can't be changed at the moment, not without massive hacks that is
[09:59] <jfoozie420> haylo
[09:59] <jfoozie420> im in for a q!!
[10:00] <Akos> hi jfoozie420, please, go ahead (:
[10:00] <jfoozie420> Akos: anyways how is it that im downloading things with ubuntu and its alot slower that when i download anything else from microsoft's os??
[10:01] <jfoozie420> is it because im using the synaptic servers?? does that have to do with it??
[10:01] <Akos> jfoozie420: i have no clue, you are downloading the same things?
[10:02] <jfoozie420> yeah, like when im download i long ass .ppt presentation it downloads it at 45 kb/s with ubuntu
[10:02] <jfoozie420> and 1.6 mb/s with microsoft
[10:02] <jfoozie420> (without a d-manager)
[10:03] <Akos> well, i didn't notice anything like that, if you have a router, make sure everything is setup correctly
[10:03] <Akos> the synaptic downloads depend on the server you are downloading from
[10:04] <jfoozie420> can you configure automatic server lists that you download from instead of using one from default?? cause i dont want to keep scrolling though find one everytime
[10:05] <jfoozie420> scrolling and finding the servers everytime""
[10:06] <jfoozie420> is there a download manager that's stable and compatible with ubuntu?? cause i haven't seen anything that's up to par with internet download manager (cause its only available for microsoft)
[10:13] <jfoozie420> cause i hate just straight downloading with microsoft when you have a good chance of getting a virus lol....
[10:14] <jfoozie420> no one up for bat?
[11:03] <jfoozie420> hello?
[11:03] <jfoozie420> how do i turn off IPv6????

[13:21] <shahan> hi
[13:21] <shahan> I have installed ubuntu 9.10 on my PC
[13:21] <shahan> now it wants for password always when I go to my Drive
[13:21] <shahan> HDD
[13:22] <Akos> hi shahan
[13:22] <shahan> I am to give password everytime I go to my HDD
[13:22] <shahan> its disgusting
[13:22] <shahan> akos
[13:22] <shahan> Akos: hi
[13:22] <Akos> the drive you are trying to access, is a different one, than where you installed?
[13:22] <shahan> Akos: can u help me
[13:22] <phillw> shahan: did you encrypt your home directory at install time ?
[13:22] <shahan> phillw: encrypt???? I dont know about it
[13:23] <shahan> phillw: I am a new user
[13:23] <shahan> phillw: I want a solution from it
[13:23] <phillw> shahan: you were asked when you installed "Do you want to encrypt your home directory" Di you say 'yes' or 'no' ?
[13:23] <phillw> *Directory*
[13:24] <shahan> phillw: I didnt asked such kind of question
[13:24] <shahan> phillw: I didnt being asked this
[13:25] <shahan> any one know about this problem?
[13:25] <shahan> the solution of this problem
[13:26] <shahan> phillw: do u know the solution
[13:26] <shahan> phillw: ?
[13:26] <phillw> if you have, as i suspect, encrypted your home directory, then head over to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1134121
[13:26] <shahan> phillw: thanks
[13:27] <phillw> it will take you it step my step. It is not ucommon for people to choose encryption, then realise it was a bad idea !!
[13:27] <shahan> phillw: tnx
[13:27] <shahan> phillw: going to NAMAZ....MUSLIM PRAYER...EVENING PRAYER
[15:09] <Unborn> can someone tell me how to change keyboard settings?? I need the default Norwegian settings
[15:15] <Unborn> can someone tell me how to change keyboard settings?? I need the default Norwegian settings
[15:16] <nigelbabu> System > Preferences > Keyboard - Layout tab
[15:31] <LzrdKing> my new server works so good now, using just openbox without gnome and nfs instead of samba i can now stream HD wirelessly in Boxee!
[15:32] <swoody> LzrdKing: that's very good to hear :)
[15:33] <LzrdKing> yeah, but when i reboot i have to play with the sound to get it to come back through the speakers plugged into the headphone jack instead of the internal speaker
[15:34] <LzrdKing> the only other thing i want to do is have it log into xdm automatically; i was able to use login -f to get it to log in on tty1, but X runs on tty7
[15:34] <LzrdKing> s/tty1/tty1 automatically
[16:46] <Unborn> why can't I install Wine? when I try to install it from "Ubuntu Software Center", I get this error message: "Not available for your hardware architecture"
[16:49] <ikt> rah
[16:51] <Phrea> say, is running a wubi install SO different that the ATI drivers+management stuff are limited? I couldnt find the dualscreen option [B2] and I'm planning to switch this box fully over to lucid
[16:54] <phillw> Phrea: wubi is quite different from dual booting, with wubi the ubuntu 'lives' inside windows, albeit on a 'virtual' area, with dual booting they bot have their own, seperate areas, only sharing grub for booting.
[16:54] <phillw> bot=both
[16:54] <Phrea> I understand :)
[16:54] <Phrea> but does a wubi install limit stuff like drivers and monitor settings?
[16:55] <phillw> dual booting is a good way to start, not all of the things available to a full ubuntu are available to wubi from reading peoples experiences
[16:56] <Phrea> this will be the last box I'm converting
[16:56] <Phrea> :)
[16:56] <Phrea> I just did the wubi install because I was curious as to how it worked :)
[16:56] <LzrdKing> Phrea: wubi does not limit wnaything except hibernation
[16:56] <Phrea> and then I noticed the limited ati options
[16:56] <phillw> the two systems live very happily side by side, and you will have fewer headaches
[16:56] <Phrea> oh...
[16:56] <LzrdKing> anything*
[16:56] <Phrea> hmz...
[16:56] <Phrea> phillw: ubu doesnt give me headaches :)
[16:57] <LzrdKing> phillw: anything in ubuntu is available in wubi
[16:57] <phillw> nor i, i have vista
[16:57] <Phrea> and I hate dualbooting, dont see the point [I dont work, or work with office stuff or so]
[16:57] <LzrdKing> Phrea:  install ubuntu and run windows in a vm
[16:57] <Phrea> LzrdKing: nah :D
[16:57] <Phrea> I dont do that on my other boxes neither
[16:57] <phillw> i use photoshop, gimp is okay, but it is not photoshop :-(
[16:57] <Phrea> it would be fun to play around with, maybe :)
[16:58] <Phrea> I'll see what I'll do
[16:58] <Phrea> it's just that the ATI settings thingy was scaringly limited
[16:59] <phillw> ati is not terribly well supported, this is down to ati.
[16:59] <Phrea> it was nothing like the 'ati drivers are coming of age' thread :\
[16:59] <phillw> 10.04 is making massive strides with all the drivers
[17:00] <Phrea> I hope it'll work, I need my two mons on this box
[17:00] <man0riaX> Hey
[17:00] <Phrea> 'lo
[17:00] <phillw> have a look on the lucid forum about how well it gets on with dual screen, if that's what you're looking to put on.
[17:01] <phillw> man0riaX: hi
[17:01] <Phrea> it's the only issue I had with the beta version [it might actually be B1 or even a late alpha, come to think of it]

[17:09] <phillw> krish-1: what video card are you using ?
[17:09] <krish-1> intel
[17:10] <krish-1> 256 mb sharing graphics card
[17:11] <phillw> krish-1: ubuntu-geeks how-to's are well written, for compiz head over to www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-compiz-fusion-in-ubuntu-9-10karmic.html
[17:11] <krish-1> ok
[17:12] <krish-1> now wat shd i do
[17:12] <Phrea> you can't login to that computer at all?
[17:12] <Phrea> it just freezes on you?
[17:12] <krish-1> yeah i login
[17:12] <krish-1> thn nothing is come
[17:12] <hobgoblin> Phrea: have you tried since the beta2 was released? might be different now - I know there were some jockey updates since then
[17:13] <Phrea> hobgoblin: I havent yet
[17:13] <Phrea> it's too much of a hassle
[17:13] <Phrea> I have a spare HDD, I'll put that in this pc and install lucid on it, see if everything works correctly
[17:14] <Phrea> krish-1: be a little bit patient, somebody will come up with an answer for you :)
[17:14] <krish-1> ok
[17:14] <krish-1> thnks
[17:14] <Phrea> it takes a while sometimes, dont worry about that
[17:15]  * Phrea stays away from compiz
[17:15] <krish-1> ok m nt use it
[17:15] <Phrea> at least all the 3D stuff
[17:16] <krish-1> but if nothing is come then how shd i uninstall this
[17:16] <Phrea> it can also mess with Flash on a 64bit machine, dont ask me why or how, I have NO idea
[17:16] <krish-1> ok
[17:16] <Phrea> you can always reinstall Karmic
[17:16] <Phrea> it'll just take over your current settings, but then with a workable os iso a dead one
[17:17] <krish-1> if i reinstall it can i loose my present data
[17:17] <Phrea> programs yes, personal data, normally no
[17:17] <Phrea> BUT, having said that, my /home/ lives on it's own partition
[17:17] <krish-1> ok
[17:18] <krish-1> tell me d process how i reinstall it
[17:18] <Phrea> do not reinstall untill you get some clear answers from people who know what they are talking about
[17:19] <Phrea> not that it's hard, but I'll gladly leave this to the experts, because you have personal data on that computer
[17:19] <hobgoblin> krish-1: I would boot the recovery option - remove xorg.conf - resume boot then you should be back with a normal screen - then reinstall the grpahics driver
[17:19] <Phrea> there you go :)
[17:19] <hobgoblin> leave reinstall for dire emergencies :)
[17:20] <Phrea> ^ !
[17:20] <hobgoblin> krish-1: what version buntu is it?
[17:20] <krish-1> ubuntu 9.10
[17:20] <hobgoblin> you might even be ok removing the compiz configs - not sure
[17:22] <krish-1> ok
[17:22] <hobgoblin> try this then = reboot and from the grub menu choose the 2nd option - it will be called recovery
[17:22] <hobgoblin> when you get to the little menu choose root terminal and then run this command - write it down
[17:23] <Phrea> write it down isnt a command, you silly goose
[17:23] <hobgoblin> cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.1904
[17:23] <hobgoblin> then
[17:23] <hobgoblin> rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:23] <hobgoblin> then exit and resume from the menu
[17:24] <hobgoblin> krish-1: what graphics card?
[17:24] <hobgoblin> and make sure you do X11 and not x11, linux is case sensitive
[17:25] <hobgoblin> though actually try this first = reboot and then when it hangs - do Ctrl+Alt+F1
[17:26] <hobgoblin> forget that ...
[17:26] <Phrea> make up your mind already ;)
[17:26] <krish-1> wait
[17:26] <krish-1> i follow d process
[17:27] <hobgoblin> do it all except the reboot and ctrl+alt+F1
[17:27] <hobgoblin> Phrea: it's been a long day and I am trying to cook dinner as well lol
[17:28] <Phrea> what will you be having?
[17:28] <hobgoblin> salad seems easy ...
[17:28] <Phrea> easy, lemme guess, you live alone
[17:29] <Phrea> oh, it's you... :D
[17:29] <Phrea> sheesh, why not use proper name !
[17:30] <krish-1> (09:53:23  IST) hobgoblin: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.1904 when i run this command tat time showing no such a directory
[17:31] <krish-1> m using d intel 256mb sharing graphics card
[17:31] <hobgoblin> krish-1: ls /etc/X11/xorg*
[17:31] <krish-1> wats this?
[17:31] <krish-1> m nt undrstnd
[17:31] <hobgoblin> Phrea: nope I am a single parent - dad - little one is going out so I have some time now :)

[17:33] <krish-1> yeah
[17:33] <hobgoblin> I'm trying to find out what is going on
[17:34] <krish-1> ok
[17:40] <hobgoblin> krish-1: you still there?
[17:40] <hobgoblin> if you are having no luck with that then do this
[17:41] <hobgoblin> mmmm
[17:43] <Phrea> I hope [s]he is now just rebooting or so
