[00:01] <FlyingTortoise> I fount this: The eCryptfs layered file system approach also eliminates the need for a dedicated partition, sparse file, or preallocated disk space for the encrypted data. eCryptfs files are written to the administrator’s chosen underlying file system with the total disk capacity available. Since each encrypted file is written to disk as an atomic unit, users can perform per-file incremental encrypted backups to remote storage – somethin
[00:01] <FlyingTortoise> g that is impractical and dangerous with block device encryption solutions.
[00:02] <FlyingTortoise> Is LUKS a block device encryption?
[00:09] <Lady_Madonna> Someone else will have to continue itsa ,  i need to go.   I am sorry.
[00:09] <itsa> Thats ok thanks btw
[00:22] <itsa> PART
[01:07] <bronson> bodhi_zazen, thanks for the quick reply.  :)
[01:08] <bodhi_zazen> NP
[01:08] <bronson> oh, you're in #lxcontainers too...  moving there.
[01:08] <bodhi_zazen> did it work ?
[01:36] <FlyingTortoise> Looks like LUKS is a block encryption, any ideas what's impractical or dangerous about performing per-file incremental encrypted backups to remote storage with LUKS?
[01:37] <Anarcoholico> Hello
[01:38] <FlyingTortoise> Hello
[01:39] <Anarcoholico> hey, I've got a question
[01:39] <FlyingTortoise> Yes
[01:39] <Anarcoholico> I'm having trouble formating a USB stick.
[01:40] <Anarcoholico> its already corrupted, it seems, and Gparted does not want to open it
[01:40] <Anarcoholico> so i tried mkfs and it says its too large a filesystem
[01:41] <Anarcoholico> what else could I try?  perhaps I'm not going about it the right way?
[01:41] <FlyingTortoise> Did you try the System->Administration->Disk Utility?
[01:44] <Anarcoholico> :( no, sorry hadn't seen it,
[01:44] <Anarcoholico> I'll try now and see how it goes..
[01:44] <Anarcoholico> thanks, man
[01:44] <FlyingTortoise> Your welcome
[01:45] <Anarcoholico> oh noes.. I get the same error.  Going to paste it
[01:45] <Anarcoholico> Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
[01:45] <Anarcoholico> WARNING: Not enough clusters for a 32 bit FAT!
[01:45] <Anarcoholico> mkfs.vfat: Attempting to create a too large file system
[01:45] <Anarcoholico> mkfs.vfat 3.0.7 (24 Dec 2009)
[01:46] <Anarcoholico> so it tries to use mkf and then gets the same error i had gotten before..
[01:47] <FlyingTortoise> Hmm... does it work if you try to format in a different file system?
[01:48] <Anarcoholico> well.  it seems its thinking about it.  just tried to make it ext4
[01:49] <Anarcoholico> i need it to make a boot disk for the netbook remix
[01:51] <Anarcoholico> hey,  it seems that worked..
[01:51] <FlyingTortoise> sweet

[08:56] <ddecator> !language
[08:57] <ddecator> i know s/he left, but still
[08:58] <Silver_Fox_> ddecator,  Without voice you will not be able to interact with votebot in this channel.
[08:59] <ddecator> well that seems kind of odd
[09:00] <Silver_Fox_> The command was also incorrect. It should have been: !language | nickname
[09:02] <ddecator> including the nick is a requirement for the command?
[09:03] <Silver_Fox_> Yes,  Votebot will direct itself at the given nickname
[09:04] <Silver_Fox_> For example...
[09:04] <Silver_Fox_> !language | Silver_Fox_
[09:04] <Votebot> Silver_Fox_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[09:04] <Silver_Fox_> Does that help ddecator  ?
[09:05] <ddecator> Silver_Fox_: yah, just different than ubot in the -bugs channel
[09:05] <Silver_Fox_> Well,  some differences are to be expected.
[09:05] <Silver_Fox_> :)
[09:05] <ddecator> true =)
[09:05] <Silver_Fox_> ubot != Votebot .  LOL
[09:06] <Silver_Fox_> But yes,  I do agree the language was inappropriate for the channel.
[09:06] <ddecator> well now i know for when i get voice =)
[09:07] <ZachK_> ddecator: just something to look forward to
[09:07] <ZachK_> right foxy?
[09:07] <ddecator> heh, true
[09:10] <Silver_Fox_> ZachK_,  Was the issue with Burky resolved ?
[09:10] <Silver_Fox_> And also isat ?
[09:11] <Akos> hi Silver_Fox_, did you come back as the IRC FG leader?
[09:11] <ZachK_> Silver_Fox_: ah i don't know
[09:12] <ZachK_> Silver_Fox_: yeah you back now?
[09:12] <Silver_Fox_> I am back,  yes.
[09:12] <swoody> Silver_Fox_: it's great to have you back :)
[09:13] <swoody> I hope everything's going well?
[09:13] <Silver_Fox_> Things are improving yes swoody , I got a lot of things sorted in my absence.
[09:13] <ddecator> ah, good to know who's in charge of the IRC FG =)
[09:14] <swoody> Silver_Fox_: that's very good to hear :)
[09:14] <Silver_Fox_> I hope everything to be as close to normal as possible very soon.
[09:14] <Silver_Fox_> So yes,  things are alot better.
[09:14] <swoody> :)
[09:16] <Silver_Fox_> ZachK_,  I will help you in SOD.
[09:18] <Silver_Fox_> Of course ddecator ,  from my understanding Votebot may be replaced with ubottu tonight. This depends on the meeting later.
[09:19] <ddecator> Silver_Fox_: interesting...well i plan to be at the meeting, so i guess i'll see you there =)
[09:19] <Silver_Fox_> No, you will not.  I am sorry.
[09:19] <Silver_Fox_> I am not attending
[09:19] <ddecator> aw. oh well, i'll be seeing you around at least
[09:19] <Silver_Fox_> Yes
[09:20] <Silver_Fox_> I hope so also.
[09:20] <Silver_Fox_> It is good to see talkative "newcomers" in the support channel
[09:21] <ddecator> i hope to be on the team soon, and IRC is one of my favorite ways to provide support, so i plan to stick around =)
[09:43] <Appl6> Silver_Fox_: I'm not a member of the beginner's team.  I thought this was just for beginner's to learn Linux, Ubuntu, and programming in general, and I thought I could help.  Should I not hang around if I'm not a member of the team?
[09:43] <Appl6> Silver_Fox_: beginners*
[09:43] <Silver_Fox_> Appl6,  You are welcome to stay
[09:44] <Silver_Fox_> We are a friendly bunch ;)
[09:44] <Silver_Fox_> In terms of learning... well #ubuntu-classroom would be a good place to start
[09:44] <Silver_Fox_> This channel exists with the view to proving support to thise who need help
[09:45] <Silver_Fox_> If you would like to help others then nobody here would have issue with you remaining in this channel
[09:46] <Appl6> Silver_Fox_: OK.  I didn't understand the #ubuntu-classroom part, though.  Should I help there, too?
[09:46] <Silver_Fox_> Appl6,  The classroom is where people gives talks on how to do stuff.  If you wanted to LEARN then it would be a good place to visit.
[10:05] <shahan> back
[10:05] <mysteriousdarren> hi ZachK_
[10:06] <Silver_Fox_> Welcome back shahan ,  before you left earlier you swore.  Please refrain from doing so in future.
[10:06] <ZachK_> hy mysteriousdarren
[10:06] <shahan> Silver_Fox_: due to my electricity I had to go
[10:06] <mysteriousdarren> getting any work done tonight?
[10:07] <ZachK_> who
[10:07] <shahan> Silver_Fox_: there in BANGLADESH electricity is doing so bad behave in this summer, as heavy load
[10:07] <Silver_Fox_> Is that an excuse to swear shahan  ?
[10:08] <mysteriousdarren> you.
[10:08] <ZachK_> shahan: you want to swear, do it in your house or wherever...just don't type it in her
[10:08] <ZachK_> "here
[10:08] <ZachK_> mysteriousdarren: trying to
[10:09] <shahan> ZachK_: !!!
[10:09] <ZachK_> shahan: it's how we keep this channel/team as nice as it is....just please don't do it...

[13:47] <javatexan> is there a "safe" way to have both gnome and kde on ubuntu, I noticed on the startup screen there was a place for KDE too, but it would not fully login, I guess I am missing some packages......but it got me thinking....
[13:54] <leoquant> javatexan, you did a apt-get kubuntu desktop on your ubuntu gnome?
[13:56] <leoquant> what do you mean by "not fully logging"?
[14:03] <phillw> javatexan: is this what you want? http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde
[14:05] <javatexan> phillw: prolly, I noticed at the startup screen that there was a KDE option, but of course it didn't quite make it all the way.....
[14:07] <phillw> javatexan: possibly because the kde desktop had not been installed :-)
[14:08] <javatexan> phillw: prolly ;)
[14:09] <phillw> you can do it with USC, or as leoquant states, you an do it via the command line - which ever you're more comfortable with - They will both work :-)
[14:39] <malev_> what time is in belgium? you know, for the UDS
[14:41] <Silver_Fox_> malev_,  Have a look at this: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-m/

[16:30] <ircuser> Can I use GParted to image/clone (used size, not the entire partition size) my Ubuntu and/or Windows installation and save them to a directory on an external hard disk?
[16:31] <Flare183> ircuser: no
[16:32] <ircuser> Flare183: Any other application I can use for this, preferably GUI? ( free ones)
[16:32] <Flare183> ircuser: Not GUI no
[16:33] <ircuser> Flare183: Oh, I have seen some Partimage tutorials. Though it has ncurses , I am not sure I can do it without any mess.
[16:34] <Flare183> ircuser: ncurses is still CLI based though
[16:34] <Flare183> tho*
[16:34] <ircuser> Flare183: Can you suggest please, which app is best for my need (even without GUI) ? I
[16:34] <Flare183> hmmm Gimme a sec
[16:34] <Flare183> ircuser: And what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[16:35] <ircuser> Flare183: 10.04
[16:35] <Flare183> Alright, Lucid. Give me a minute
[16:37] <Flare183> ircuser: Parted
[16:37] <Flare183> lol
[16:37] <Flare183> PartImage yes would be your best option
[16:37] <Chesamo> What about CloneZilla?
[16:37]  * Flare183 googles
[16:37] <Chesamo> It's essentially OSS Norton Ghost
[16:38] <Flare183> Now that is awesome
[16:38] <Chesamo> ircuser: Check out CloneZilla
[16:38] <Flare183> Chesamo: I've never heard of that one :D
[16:38] <Chesamo> We use it at work
[16:38] <Flare183> ircuser: yeah what he said :P
[16:38] <Chesamo> (I work for a DoD research lab)
[16:38] <Flare183> NICE
[16:38] <Flare183> XD
[16:38] <Chesamo> So yeah, market adoption ahoy
[16:38] <Akos> i almost read DDoS
[16:39] <Chesamo> Hah
[16:39] <Flare183> Akos: XD
[16:39] <Flare183> lmao
[16:39] <Chesamo> Government-sanctioned DDoS?
[16:39] <Akos> ((:
[16:39] <Flare183> hehe that would fail of course
[16:39] <Chesamo> It's been known to happen before ;-)
[16:39] <Akos> Chesamo: well ya, something like that, I bet china has one of those institutes :P
[16:39] <Flare183> Chesamo: oh wow
[16:39] <Flare183> lol
[16:39] <ircuser> Chesamo: CloneZilla makes the image of entire partition size or the size that is used. My Windows partition is 30GB (using only 18GB) and Ubuntu is 40GB (using only 20GB). So, I need to get used space images only and save them to a directory on an external HD (not a partition)
[16:39] <Chesamo> I'm sure it does.
[16:40] <stevels> hello,
[16:40] <Chesamo> You want to copy the files in the directory?
[16:40] <Chesamo> ircuser: Why don't you just copy and paste? That's kinda what you're asking
[16:41] <Akos> hi stevels
[16:41] <stevels> i have ubuntu 9.10 and windows xp in dual boot since past few months , very happy wid the setup, but few days ago after a power failure everything change
[16:41] <Chesamo> unless I'm reading something wrong
[16:41] <Flare183> stevels: What's problem
[16:41] <Flare183> the problem*
[16:41] <stevels> grub works but wen i get into ubuntu , it crashes and automatically reboots
[16:42]  * Flare183 smells fsck problem
[16:42] <Flare183> stevels: try booting into recovery mode
[16:42] <stevels> yeah reovery mode works but wen i do startx from there , it again crashes
[16:42] <ircuser> Chesamo: no.. I want an image ( which can be restored in case of an OS failure and recreating the exact OS as it was at the time of backup). But I want that image to be backed up/saved in a directory on an external hard disk. (because I've read some apps allow only partition-to-partition backup)
[16:42] <Flare183> don't do that
[16:43] <stevels> my live cds also started behaving similarly
[16:43] <stevels> ubuntu 8.04,lubuntu 10.04, arch , etc all of them crash after the gui coomes up and restart
[16:43] <Chesamo> ircuser: Clonezilla can save disk images...
[16:43] <stevels> is it sum hardware level problem?
[16:43] <Akos> ircuser: you should use a backup utility, that saves your files and it can restore them, like the one in Ubuntu Software Center Featured Software, dunno it's name, darn
[16:44] <Flare183> stevels: type in dmesg
[16:44] <ircuser> Akos: you mean sth like flyback, sbackup or backi  in time ? but that doesn't have my solution
[16:44] <Flare183> that should tell you :P
[16:44] <stevels> dmesg??
[16:44] <stevels> where in recovery mode
[16:45] <Flare183> stevels: on the console/cli
[16:45] <Chesamo> ircuser: From Wikipedia: "The cloned data can be saved as an image-file or as a duplicated copy of the data."
[16:45] <Flare183> its a command
[16:46] <stevels> wut shuld i looke for in it?
[16:46] <Flare183> stevels: errors lol
[16:46] <stevels> :)
[16:47] <ircuser> Chesamo: Thanks, so it can be saved in a directory. And I need a CloneZilla Live CD or it can run from within Ubuntu? And what do I do when I have to restore? I can't use a 18 GB DVD (at loss here:( )
[16:47] <Chesamo> ircuser: You should use the CloneZilla LiveCD, and you can just restore the image from wherever it is.....
[16:48] <Chesamo> ircuser: Just don't store the images on the partition you're imaging
[16:48] <Chesamo> ircuser: This is when an external hard drive comes in a lot of handy
[16:48] <ircuser> Chesamo: Ok ok .. get it. Yes not on that. It will be another hard disk.
[16:48] <Chesamo> ircuser: Then you should be all set.
[16:49] <ircuser> Chesamo: Yes, seems so. I will just check for some tuts or walk through, in case I may forget something in the process. Actually I have to replace Fedora with Arch and I don't want to risk any partition. Thanks
[16:49] <Chesamo> ircuser: No problem
[16:50] <Chesamo> ircuser: Good luck!
[17:01] <bootstrap> I need some help with virtualbox, #vbox was no help.
[17:01] <Chesamo> I'm good with vbox, what's up?
[17:02] <bootstrap> Chesamo: I am unable to install guest additions on xp.
[17:02] <Chesamo> bootstrap: What error do you get, if any?
[17:02] <bootstrap> Chesamo: unalbe to mount the cd/dvd image
[17:03] <Chesamo> bootstrap: Did you verify that the image is in the proper location, and/or exists?
[17:03] <bootstrap> Chesamo: Yes, and further I installed the additions perfectly fine on vista yesterday.
[17:03] <Chesamo> Huh.
[17:04] <Chesamo> bootstrap: So it's just the XP guest?
[17:04] <bootstrap> Chesamo: It seems so.
[17:04] <Chesamo> bootstrap: Have you tried deleting the guest OS (not the hard drive) and recreating it using the same hard drive image?
[17:05] <bootstrap> Chesamo: No. I am very new to virtualbox.
[17:05] <Chesamo> bootstrap: Try that. Unmount the hard drive image using the Storage Manager and delete the XP guest, then recreate the guest machine using the pre-exsting disk
[17:06] <bootstrap> Chesamo: Alright, I'll do that. Thanks.
[17:06] <Chesamo> bootstrap: good luck
[17:15] <bootstrap> Chesamo: That worked. I don't exactly understand why. But, thank you.
[17:15] <Chesamo> bootstrap: You're welcome. You probably flipped a setting without realizing it.
[17:18] <stevels> i have probably got some issues wid my video (xorg) , can anyone plz debug the problem from my dmesg log
[17:18] <stevels> i am unable to start gui
[17:19] <stevels> it crashes and automatically reboots
[17:19] <stevels> its definitely not a driver problem since i have try numerous other live cds wid the same resutl
[17:19] <stevels> seems to be a hardware fault
[17:20] <stevels> can anyone help me figuring out wut exactly is not working ??
[17:20] <Chesamo> stevels: what video card do you have, and what kind of computer is it (desktop/laptop)?
[17:20] <stevels> desktop
[17:20] <stevels> a lenovo desktop integrated intel chipset
[17:20] <stevels> no dedicated video card
[17:21] <stevels> caould u plz read my dmseg log
[17:21] <bootstrap> Chesamo: Appl6: and the et cetera of the chan: I don't know of you care to hear, but you have all been a great help. Very much appreciated.
[17:21] <stevels> else tell me where to look for realted to video issues
[17:21] <Chesamo> stevels: Sure, pastebin it
[17:22] <Chesamo> bootstrap: You're very welcome :D
[17:22] <stevels> srry but i don't know wut is pastbin , do u want me to copy paste the whole msg here
[17:22] <Silver_Fox_> stevels,  http://pastebin.com/
[17:23] <Chesamo> stevels: No. http://pastebin.com/
[17:25] <stevels> http://pastebin.com/9JMnvNeQ
[17:27] <stevels> Chesamo: plz look into the pastebin and suggest wut is causing the problem
[17:27] <stevels> thnx
[17:27] <Chesamo> stevels: Yes, working on it
[17:28] <Chesamo> stevels: I don't see any errors... It sounds like a hardware fault to me. You said this happened after a power outage?
[17:28] <stevels> yes
[17:28] <stevels> but xp boots fine and ubuntu recovery mode boots fine
[17:29] <Chesamo> XP boots fine, huh....
[17:29] <stevels> when i do startx , it shows the mouse and then restarts
[17:29] <Chesamo> This happens to all of your LiveCDs as well?
[17:29] <stevels> power outage occured when ubuntu was running
[17:29] <stevels> yes to all the live cds
[17:30] <Chesamo> Strange... the last thing to happen on the log is initializing the network interface
[17:30] <Chesamo> X appears to initialize properly...
[17:30] <stevels> one important thing when i booted chakra arch linux live cd , it showed that video hardware busy or sumthing and
[17:30] <stevels> i coudnt read it all as it went too fat
[17:30] <stevels> *fast
[17:31] <stevels> sum trouble wid xorg??
[17:32] <Chesamo> "Error waiting for frence: Device or resource busy"?
[17:41] <xsaiddx> hello people
[17:42] <xsaiddx> whtas the commade line to format a thumbdive
[17:42] <Chesamo> xsaiddx: Have you tried GParted?
[17:43] <xsaiddx> infact iwanna kno if thees a commade line for that thingy
[17:43] <xsaiddx> and im on lubuntu
[17:43] <xsaiddx> and when i use the gui it tells me im not authorized
[17:44] <Chesamo> What GUI tool are you using?
[17:44] <xsaiddx> well to be honnest i dont kno it
[17:44] <Chesamo> Look in the title bar
[17:44] <xsaiddx> im on lubuntu so i jst clicked on disk utilities n it got me there
[17:45] <xsaiddx> yeh thees nethin
[17:45] <xsaiddx> let me check
[17:45] <xsaiddx> on the about thingy there utiliaire de disque 2007-2009 redhat
[17:46] <xsaiddx> sorry thats fench
[17:47] <Chesamo> Do you open it from a menu? (I don't know how Lubuntu is set up so I might be less help)
[17:48] <xsaiddx> yeh from a menu named disk utility
[17:48] <Chesamo> Something like the Ubuntu Applications menu?
[17:49] <xsaiddx> yehh
[17:50] <Chesamo> Can you edit said menu?
[17:52] <pedro3005> did I hear lubuntu? phillw, come over
[17:52] <xsaiddx> no need im tlkin to him there
[17:53] <pedro3005> oh, good
[17:53] <phillw> pedro3005: i think it is a user permission problem, they are not an adminstrator.
[17:54] <Chesamo> can they not gksu?
[17:55] <phillw> I think getting them to Administrator will prevent them having to keep coming back :-)
[17:56] <Chesamo> into the Administrators group, yeah
[19:30] <Phrea> how can I see what processes are actively using/needing memory? Processes under System Monitor seems to show all swap/preloaded/whatever stuff too
[19:31] <Phrea> [Up to date Lucid install]
[19:32] <Phrea> [2.6.32-22-generic kernel]
[19:33] <Chesamo> Type "top" in the Terminal
[19:34] <Chesamo> it'll show you the most resource-hungry applications
[19:36] <Phrea> I'm not really sure what I'm looking at
[19:36] <Phrea> VIRT is stuff that is not actively used I gather, and RES shows what is actively used?
[19:39] <Phrea> would a screenshot help?
[19:39] <Chesamo> You want to look at MEM
[19:40] <Chesamo> CPU helps too.
[19:40] <Phrea> nothing out of the ordinary really, cept that Xorg is on top at both cpu and mem
[19:40] <Chesamo> Not surprising
[19:41] <Phrea> I'm coming up to 1GB of ram used now...
[19:41] <Chesamo> What's your total?
[19:41] <Phrea> started out with 800MB once everything was open
[19:41] <Phrea> total is 4GB
[19:41] <Phrea> but, before you say that it's enough, I rebooted earlier, because memory usage was up  to 3.xGB
[19:42] <Chesamo> What were you doing?
[19:42] <Phrea> nothing, the pc was idle, I just sat down behind it after 30 hours or so
[19:42] <Phrea> had nothing open, cept for Xchat
[19:43] <Chesamo> Oh, there's a bug in TTY...
[19:43] <Chesamo> Could be related...
[19:43] <Phrea> remember, I'm a beginner :D
[19:43] <Phrea> what's TTY?
[19:43] <Phrea> something on launchpad or so?
[19:44] <Chesamo> It's the terminal
[19:44] <Chesamo> X is usually on tty8
[19:44] <Chesamo> ...if I recall correctly.
[19:44] <Phrea> I still dont know what TTY is :)
[19:44] <Chesamo> It's just the shell.
[19:44] <Chesamo> X is a shell interface.
[19:45] <Phrea> oh ah
[19:45] <Phrea> ok
[19:45] <Phrea> so it's TTY then Xorg then Gnome?
[19:45] <Chesamo> Like... if you remember back in the old days of Windows 3.x and Windows 95... they sat on top of DOS
[19:45] <Phrea> [for me to understand it more clearly]
[19:45] <Phrea> yes
[19:45] <Phrea> :)
[19:46] <Chesamo> It's a little more complicated than that, but yes, that's basically it. tty then xorg then gdm then gnome
[19:46] <Phrea> k :)
[19:46] <Phrea> I know it's simplitically represented, I just wanted it to be clear
[19:46] <Phrea> so it's a bug in tty somewhere
[19:46] <Chesamo> There's a bug that makes more tty sessions (in the background) than you need... not sure if it's fixed yet
[19:46] <Phrea> ah ok
[19:47] <Phrea> so until then I've got to reboot every other day or so?
[19:47] <Chesamo> You shouldn't... I mean my server's been up since 10.04 came out
[19:47] <Chesamo> So I don't think that's entirely to blame
[19:48] <Phrea> well, 3+GB usage is an extreme amount for an idle system tho
[19:48] <Phrea> :o
[19:48] <Chesamo> Yeah.
[19:48] <Chesamo> Well,
[19:48] <Chesamo> After letting that happen, see what's at the top.
[19:48] <Chesamo> Then we'll know more about the problem.
[19:48] <Phrea> ok, I'll let it then :D
[19:48] <Phrea> see you in a couple of days :D
[19:48] <Chesamo> heh
[19:48] <Chesamo> Good luck
[19:49] <Phrea> I'll need it, just letting the system running is hard work ;)
[19:49] <Chesamo> "Can't.... not.... touch.... computer....."
[19:50] <Phrea> I'll use it, but it'll get some good idle time too :)
[19:50] <Phrea> I'll just go about my business like usual, tnen check that top command again
[19:51] <Phrea> thanks for now, I'll check back in in a day or two
[19:51] <Chesamo> You're welcome
[21:11] <Phrea> is there some webcam software that will work with a Logitech cam? I don't need it to work with IM, just a working cam itself will be fine for now
[21:15] <ZachK_> Phrea: ah there is one but I can remember the name...
[21:16] <ZachK_> Phrea: sorry for a non definite answer but I just wanted to let you know that one is there....
[21:16] <Phrea> haha, it's ok :D
[21:16] <compiledkernel> gspca or whatever
[21:16] <compiledkernel> is what its called phrea
[21:16] <compiledkernel> I had a guide for it
[21:16] <Phrea> I've got a Pro 9000 I believe
[21:16] <compiledkernel> at one point
[21:19] <Phrea> oh no, I gots me not that expensive thingy, I'll look it up
[21:19] <Phrea> it's a Logitech QuickCam Pro 5000
[21:19] <Phrea> if that helps :D
[21:20] <Phrea> I havent looked around myself, so I'm being kind of lazy here
[21:23] <Phrea> I still dont know all the 'default' programmes for stuff like this
[23:56] <Dill> hey guys, I'm having a problem keeping Ubuntu on my Asus X83V laptop. can anyone help me?
[23:58] <ddecator> what kind of trouble?
[23:59] <Dill> well, at first I tried dual-booting the system.  This works perfectly on my netbook (32-bit) but when I do it on my 64-bit laptop it stops working after a week or two.  When I go to boot it up it says that there was some sort of problem finding the grub manager or something.
[23:59] <Dill> it's been a while since i got the message
[23:59] <ddecator> so everything is working right now?
[23:59] <Dill> i then tried just using ubuntu instead of a dual-boot, but i would still get the message
